Foxton Lock Keepers Tales
BBC Radio Leicester Live At Foxton Locks
We were delighted to welcome the BBC Radio Leicester afternoon show to Foxton locks at the end of August. After their presenter Jimmy Carpenter tweeted that he'd never visited, we took the opportunity to invite him out and meet all the colourful characters that live and work around the locks. During the show Jimmy spoke to the site manager Alex Goode as well as seasonal operative Julie Nottingham and volunteer lock keepers Tony Gale, Stephen McKay and Simon Newman. He also got the opportunity to take a boat ride through the locks, visit the Foxton Locks Inn and find out about the historic inclined plane.
Accident At Foxton
A 79 year old woman fell into a lock side pond on Thursday 6th August 2015. She was sucked through the culvert into the lock. Although unconcious, she surfaced in the lock as fortunately as there was a small cruiser in there. She was airlifted to hospital but did not have life threatening injuries.
Sturdy metal grills have now been fitted to each culvert entrance to prevent a recurrence. See below.
A "Quiet Day" !
We were expecting a quiet day at Foxton for our late shift. As we arrived in the car park at 11.30 am we were surprised it was full and there were lots of people about. Strange for a mid week in October.
When we arrived at the bottom of the locks we were met by hundreds of Leicestershire Womens Institute members.
They were celebrating 100 years of Leicestershire W.I. by passing a batton up and down the locks. Now that in itself was no problem, but attempting to hang bunting on the lock mechanisms was not practical of course. So we pointed out the problem and they cheerfully held the bunting which stretched from the bottom to the top of the locks and beyond.
Once they had completed their batton passing it was up to us four lock keepers to ensure several hundred women were guided safely down the locks which we achieved without incident.
I think one boat passed through the locks. So much for a quiet day!
Brenda, Richard, Chris and John
Murder At Foxton?
A local man was showing his American visitors Foxton Locks and explaining that the locks had a significant historical meaning for their family.
I asked what he meant and he explained that an ancestor of theirs was murdered and thrown into the locks. He said he thought it was good for his American visitors to know what disreputable family connections they had!
Pokemon Mad Gongoozlers
Click to see photos of how many Gongoozlers using Pokemon while not watching where they are going!!!
Mad Tuesday
"Mad Tuesday" the day after Crick boat show which resulted in a total of 44 boats through the flight that day.
The day started with a queue waiting for me to go down, when I unlocked just before 0800. The queue never went away all day !!!
In fairness to the few boats who wanted to come up, I had to make a cut off point in the "down" queue.
It was when I was halfway down the lower half of the flight with the last in a long string of boats, when I noticed a boat coming down the top half. To say I wasn't very pleased would be an understatement, but I tactfully and politely pointed out the error of the lone boaters ways.
He offered all the usual lame excuses that we've all heard before. He wasn't in the least bit contrite so I did the equivalent of "clapping him in irons" by mooring him up in the centre pound, where he stayed for about an hour and a half until we had cleared the "up" queue.
Most of the traffic that day was for coming down the flight and at one time we had a string of eleven boats coming down, with the queue stretching way past bridge 60.
By five o'clock I was pretty done for and left it to Steve to finish off.

The NFL's Excessive Problem with Celebration
The league needs to adopt a more reasonable attitude toward end zone celebrations, or the sport risks becoming completely robotic.
By Kevin Cordon, University of California at Irvine
Flag on the Field
By Kevin Cordon, UC Irvine
The National Football League has always upheld a certain image, or at least tried to, that the sport is a polished, well-thought out form of entertainment that's family friendly, but lately that just hasn't quite been the case.
Football may still be the preferred sport of choice to watch in this country, considering it dominates the television schedule on Sundays, but the backlash of several key issues plaguing the league has started to shift some fans' attitudes away from the multi-billion dollar industry.
To maintain its image, the NFL has always upheld very strict guidelines regarding everything players do, from their uniforms to their touchdown celebrations. It has been dubbed the "No Fun League," and at the end of every Sunday you can go online and check the plethora of infractions that players accrued over the day and all the fines and punishment they'll be receiving as a result. This season, many have fallen victim to the restricting rules of the NFL, with Cam Newton, Odell Beckham Jr. and others making weekly headlines for expressing themselves on the field.
In the organization's attempt to curb "unsportsmanlike conduct," they've instead prevented players from exhibiting any sort of self-expression. Excessive celebrations are now considered anything more than a very-brief dance, and the football they used to score can't even be involved in the act. The line between what's excessive and what isn't has also become extremely subjective, leaving many to question the decision-making process of the league and whether certain players are being let off the hook.
For example, Tim Tebow, the NFL dropout and devout churchgoer, would drop to his knee in prayer to celebrate a touchdown, which became known as "Tebowing." Nobody saw anything wrong with it, and it actually became a social media craze, but others like Tebow weren't so fortunate.
In 2014, Kansas City Chiefs safety and practicing Muslim Husain Abdullah returned an interception for a touchdown against Tom Brady, which is an accomplishment that warrants celebration. When he reached the end zone, Abdullah slid to his knees and prayed, similar to Tebow, but with both knees down.
He was flagged for the celebration and his team was penalized for a simple celebration of his religion, citing the fact that he slid to his knees was an excessive celebration. The NFL later released a statement that Abdullah should not have been penalized for dropping to his knees and praying, but the punishments have continued for celebrations that are far from harmful.
Odell Beckham Jr., the star receiver who has in a way become the NFL's punching bag when it comes to punishments, has received his fair share of fines and penalties from the league. During his rookie season in 2014, Beckham Jr. was flagged for 15 yards after he spun the ball and danced behind it after scoring a touchdown. He later said he "didn't quite understand the penalty," stating that it wasn't directed toward anybody and I believe him.
These are grown men playing a very violent sport, and every game fans see them go at each other and taunt each other after each play. The league needs to stop pretending that mild touchdown celebrations are unsportsmanlike conduct; showcasing dance moves or using the ball as a prop in an elaborate celebration isn't hurting anyone. Besides, the penalties give the opposing team an advantage on the following possession.
Historical faults aside, the NFL could be learning a lot from the season currently underway. Ezekiel Elliot, the superstar rookie running back from the Dallas Cowboys, carried out what could be considered an elaborate celebration that played out in his favor. After scoring a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Elliot ran straight to a large red kettle put on the field by the Salvation Army and jumped in it, encouraging people to donate.
Naturally, he drew a flag and 15-yard penalty for excessively celebrating, but it was well worth it. According to the Salvation Army, online donations leaped by 61 percent, arguably because of Elliot's grand gesture to encourage people to donate. I get that by the laws of the game Elliot should be punished for his celebration, but such a positive message for a great cause shouldn't be punished. In fact, Elliot pledged that he would match whatever fine the NFL gave him as a donation to the charity, and the NFL then backed down, announcing that they wouldn't fine him.

By no means do I have any idea of how to differentiate between what celebrations are excessive and which aren't, but something in the rulebook needs to be changed to allow players to express themselves. If the famous "Lambeau Leap" is allowed to happen without penalty, so should a nice gesture on behalf of the Salvation Army. Like basketball, football has become micromanaged on every little detail, preventing players from being themselves and making the adrenaline and emotions of athletes punishable.
As a fan of football, I want to see players allowed to celebrate when they score touchdowns, wear special cleats for charity or hand footballs to young fans in the crowd without being punished for it. I want to know that I'm watching humans out on the field, not robots controlled by the governing body that is the National Football League.
So, to the NFL I say: Let these players be themselves. Let them wear cleats that they want to wear, inspire kids by handing them game balls and dance and celebrate the way they want to for scoring a touchdown.


Horndiplomat-The foreign minister of Somaliland, a semi-autonomous region of Somalia, says Brexit has strengthened Somaliland's independence claim.
Sa'ad Ali Shireh told the BBC Somali service that the world had accepted the will of the British people, and should do the same for Somaliland.
The region declared its independence a quarter of a century ago, but this has not been recognised internationally.
The minister also said he was worried that the fall in value of sterling would hurt Somaliland, because remittances sent back from the UK are a large part of the economy.

A Memnón-kolosszusok (arabul el-Kolosszát vagy esz-Szalámát) III. Amenhotep fáraó két hatalmas ülőszobra, melyek 3400 éve állnak a thébai nekropoliszban, a Nílus partján a mai Luxor városával átellenben.

A két kolosszus eredetileg Amenhotep halotti templomának bejáratánál állt, mely az ókori Egyiptom legnagyobb temploma volt, de építése után nem egészen kétszáz évvel le kellett bontani, mert túl közel épült a Nílushoz, és a folyó évenkénti áradása helyrehozhatatlan kárt tett benne. David Robertsnek az 1840-es években készült metszete vízzel körülvéve ábrázolja a két kolosszust.

A szobrok kvarcithomokkőből készültek, amit vagy Gízából (a mai Kairó mellett), vagy Gebel esz-Szilsziléből (Asszuántól 60 km-re északra) szállítottak ide. Talapzatukkal együtt 18 méter magasak. A kőtömbök szállítását Hapu fia Amenhotep felügyelte, a szobrokat Men udvari szobrász (Bek amarnai szobrász apja) faragta ki.

A két szobor ülve ábrázolja a fáraót, amint kezeit térdén nyugtatja; arccal a folyó és felkelő Nap felé fordul. Lábai mellett két kisebb alak áll, fő felesége, Tije, és anyja, Mutemwia. A szobor oldalain Hápi, a Nílus-isten ábrázolása látható.

Az 1. században alkotó ókori görög geográfus, Sztrabón számol be arról az i. e. 27-ben történt földrengésről, melyben az északi kolosszus deréktól felfelé összeomlott. Innentől a szobor minden hajnalban "énekelt" – halk zúgó vagy fütyülő hangot adott ki, amit feltehetőleg az emelkedő hőmérséklet és az elpárolgó harmat okozott.

A szobor innen kapta nevét. Memnón a legenda szerint a trójai háború egyik hőse volt, az aithiopszok királya, Éósz hajnalistennő fia, aki Afrikából vezette csapatait Kis-Ázsiába, Trója megsegítésére, de Akhilleusz legyőzte. A görögök a szoborban Memnónt látták, amint énekével köszönti anyját, a Hajnalt.

Gyorsan terjedt az éneklő szobor legendája és a hit, mely szerint szerencsét hoz, illetve jóslatot mond, és egyre több látogató érkezett, köztük több római császár is. A Hadrianus kíséretében utazó Julia Balbilla epigrammákat írt róla, melyeket felírtak a szoborra. A rejtélyes hang örökre elhallgatott 199-ben, mikor Septimius Severus császár megpróbálta elnyerni az orákulum kegyét és összeillesztette a kettétört szobrot.

Lauren and Andrew's wedding day was completely amazing from start to finish! I know I say this about every wedding, but their wedding day was one of my all time favorites. I'm pretty convinced it will be one of your new favorites, too! Their wedding took place at two of my favorite venues in Downtown Detroit. The wedding ceremony was held at the historic Fort Street Presbyterian Church! The church's gothic style architecture was incredible, and truly was the perfect place for Lauren and Andrew to seal the deal! I know you all know how much I am completely in love with ballrooms, and especially the Colony Club. It is always such a dream photographing there! Lauren has impeccable style and I had no doubt that everything would be gorgeous. Lauren wore an incredible Monique Lhuillier ballgown from Kleinfeld's. It was so dreamy! Friends, I truly can't even put into words how much I loved capturing their wedding day. Every single part and moment from Lauren and Andrew's wedding day was amazing, and not because of the pretty details and designer dress, but because of these two and their family and friends! I felt like I gained two friends in the process, and I wish Boston wasn't so far away. 😉 Everyone was such a joy to work with all day long. I truly felt so humbled that they chose me to capture it! Sometimes I can't even believe this is real life. Lauren and Andrew are some of my favorite people, and it is so evident how amazing these two are. Their love is truly inspiring and I loved being able to witness it first hand!

Wednesday night saw the New York Yankees renew their rivalry with the Boston Red Sox in a bench-clearing brawl after Joe Kelly hit Tyler Austin with a pitch in the seventh inning. The Yankees were able to have a breakout night on offense, but their minor league affiliates did not have much success with the bats.
In total, the four minor league teams scored a total of six runs as two affiliates got shut out. The five teams had a combined record of 2-3. Let's take a look at some of the highlights of the night's action.
New York Yankees (MLB): In a tension-filled night at Fenway Park, the Yankees (6-6) defeated the Boston Red Sox, 10-7.
Gary Sanchez was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and home runs (2,3) and had four RBIs (4,5,6,7).
Giancarlo Stanton was 3-for-5 on the night with two runs scored, a triple, and three RBIs (8,9,10).
Masahiro Tanaka (2-1) did give up a grand slam to J.D. Martinez in the fifth inning, but still got the win. He went five innings, gave up six runs on seven hits, struck out three, and walked two on 83 pitches (51 strikes).
Scranton Wilkes-Barre (Triple-A): The Railriders were shut out by the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, 2-0, as their 3-game win streak came to a close.
Aaron Hicks went 1-for-3 with a walk and the lone extra-base hit for the Railriders (double in the fourth). It was his final rehab game before joining the Yankees.
Chance Adams threw five shutout innings, gave up four hits, struck out six, and walked two on 91 pitches (56 strikes).
J.P. Feyereisen (1-1) took the loss in relief after giving up both runs in the sixth.
Cody Carroll finished the game for Scranton and struck out three of the seven batters he faced. He didn't give up a hit and walked one in two innings.
Trenton Thunder (Double-A): The Thunder (3-4) were held to just four hits in a 4-0 loss to the New Hampshire Fishercats.
Ben Ruta had two of the Thunder's four hits and he had the lone stolen base (2).
In his second start of the season, Domingo Acevedo (0-1) went five innings, gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits, struck out four, and walked four on 86 pitches (57 strikes).
The lone extra-base hit of the night for Trenton was Trey Amburgey's double in the seventh.
Tampa Tarpons (Single-A Advanced): For the second straight night, the Tarpons (3-4) lost in walk-off fashion to the St. Lucie Mets. The final score was 4-3.
Trevor Stephan had seven strikeouts for the second straight outing. He went six innings and gave up three hits on 85 pitches (53 strikes).
Tampa got all three runs in the top of the eighth to erase a 3-0 deficit on a Brandon Wagner RBI single (3), a Tim Lynch hit-by-pitch (2), and a sacrifice fly by Hoy Jun Park (4).
Leobaldo Cabrera was the only player on the Tarpons to have a multi-hit night (2-for-4, run scored).
Matt Frawley (1-1) threw a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth that led to the walk-off win.
Charleston Riverdogs (Single-A): The Riverdogs (3-4) wrapped up their opening seven-game road trip with a 3-1 win over the Rome Braves.
Chris Hess and Leonardo Molina each had a pair of hits and a double in yesterday's action. Hess was 2-for-5 while Molina was 2-for-4.
Evan Alexander (1) and Frederick Cuevas (2) had the lone RBIs in the game.
Glenn Otto (1-1) had a lot of walks, but he held the Rome offense in check. He went six innings, gave up one hit, struck out five, and walked four on 75 pitches (42 strikes) in the win.
Matt Wivinis gave up an unearned run in the ninth, but he still picked up his second save of the season.
The Riverdogs got the win despite going 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position. They were 0-for-17 with RISP against Lexington in Sunday's doubleheader.

Q: Element is not declared validation error post upgrading from .Net v4.5 to .Net v4.5.2 I understand that there are already many existing threads for the 'element not found' error for XML validation but I'm posting this as my problem is slightly different.
My code was running fine until it was on .Net v4.5. After upgrading the framework to v4.6.1, I started getting this error for each XML element in my xml file. Upon downgrading I found that the error started occurring from .Net framework v4.5.2 onwards. Below is my code:
XML - Book.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "Book.dtd">
<book>
    <title>The Lord of the Rings</title>
    <author>J.R.R. Tolkien</author>
    <isbn>1572810556</isbn>
</book>

DTD - Book.dtd
<!ELEMENT book (title, author, isbn)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT isbn (#PCDATA)>

C# Functions
public static void ReadXMLwithDTD()
{
    // Set the validation settings.
    XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
    settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.DTD;
    settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Parse;
    settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallBack);
    settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;

    // Create the XmlReader object.
    XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("Book.xml", settings);

    // Parse the file.
    while (reader.Read())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}: {2} ", reader.NodeType, reader.Name, reader.Value);
    }
}

private static void ValidationCallBack(object sender, ValidationEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Severity == XmlSeverityType.Warning)
        Console.WriteLine("Warning: Matching schema not found.  No validation occurred." + e.Message);
    else // Error
        Console.WriteLine("Validation error: " + e.Message);
}

When run the code the callback throws validation errors (element not found) for all four XML elements - book, title, author and isbn.
Any help to fix this will be appreciated.
Thanks,

A: I'm a bit late to the party but I think I've found a solution by adding the following code right before
settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallBack);
settings.XmlResolver = new XmlUrlResolver();

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5.2, this setting has a default value of null.

Chelsea's Germany striker Timo Werner has signed a four-year contract to return to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, the two clubs announced on Tuesday.
British media said Leipzig are bringing Werner back for about 25 million pounds ($30.21 million) after Chelsea paid the Germany forward's 45 million pounds release clause in 2020.
The 26-year-old spent the largest part of his senior career at RB Leipzig between 2016-20 and is the club's all-time top scorer with 95 goals.
"Timo Werner's signing is a special transfer for us," Leipzig's commercial director for sport Florian Scholz said.
"We … saw Timo become the club's record goalscorer and a Germany international. His return means a lot to the supporters because Timo was a real fan favourite and figure of identification for a lot of people."


Just wondering when the next meeting of the Rock River Valley chapter is planned for and where it might be?

I'd like to know too, so I can schedule a visit.


Ballyhegan Park was the setting for the Davitts first derby of the season and also their first home league game of 2016 after the Killeavy game was called off, because of the heavy rain two weeks earlier.
The sun was shining and the pitch had been cut, spiked and rolled it was ready for action, Davitts attacking Hewitt's field end in the first half. The game took a while to settle down and it was Collegeland who got the first score of the game from a free, Ballyhegan responded through Conor Loughran after he was set up by Paul Nixon. Jack Rafferty got the next two points for Ballyhegan, the second one a fine team score after four Davitts where involved before Jack spilt the posts. Collegeland responded with their second and final score of the half, another free. The final five minutes of the half belonged to Ballyhegan where they scored 1-2 without reply. The goal came from Conal McKeever after Paul Nixon's shot hit a post, Rory McKeever was first to react and took the sensible option of laying the ball off to Conal who found the bottom of the goal. From the resulting kick-out possession found James McKeever who fisted over his first score of the day. Conal then finished the score of the first-half with a point from play, leaving the half-time score Ballyhegan 1-5 Collegeland 0-02.
Collegeland had to come out fighting in the second half and started the brighter of the two teams getting the first two scores, one a free and the other from play. Ballyhegan replied with a Mark Hughes point and Paddy Marley then got in on the act with a point after 48 mins. Collegeland came back with two more scores to show they weren't finished yet. James McKeever increased the lead with his second point on 52 mins. Collegeland needed goals at this stage and where starting to threaten. Mel Courtney and Daniel McKeever where working hard to keep them out, but the Davitts defence got cut open on (55mins) a tactical foul by Jonny McKeever resulted in him shown a black card and a penalty to Collegeland.
With Jonny having to go, Tiernan Power was called upon to replace him. The first thing he had to face was a penalty, and was very unlucky not to save it as he got a hand to it, but the ball was in the net - GAME ON! The score was now 1-8 to 1-6. Collegeland felt they had time to get another goal for the win and keep pushing and pressing but great chasing back from Thomas Reynolds stopped a certain shot at goal. With time near up Ballyhegan broke up the field and the ball fell to Rory McKeever who steadied himself and popped the ball over the bar. This looked to seal victory for Ballyhegan but time wasn't up yet and Collegeland pushed on looking for a second goal, the final act of the game saw the ball crash off the Ballyhegan post as Collegeland so near clinched a draw.
This is a game Ballyhegan should have been out of sight in, their dominance in the first half should have left them with a more commanding lead at half-time and kicking 15 wides overall will not please management. Next up is the re-fixture against Killeavy II's at home on Friday night before an away trip to O'Hanlon's on Sunday.

PAGEOS (en , « satellite géodésique passif en orbite autour de la Terre » ou PAGEOS-A) était un satellite ballon lancé par la NASA en .

Caractéristiques

PAGEOS avait un diamètre d'exactement 30,48 m, et était constitué d'un film plastique mylar de 12,7 µm d'épaisseur recouvert d'aluminium déposé en phase vapeur renfermant un volume de  et était utilisé pour le Weltnetz der Satellitentriangulation (Réseau mondial de triangulation par satellites), une coopération mondiale organisée par  (Suisse et États-Unis) en 1969-1973.

Achevé en 1974, le réseau connectait 46 stations (distance de 3000 à 5000 km) de tous les continents avec une précision de 3 à 5 m (environ 20 fois mieux que les triangulations terrestres à cette époque).

Orbite

PAGEOS a été placé sur une orbite polaire (inclinaison de 85 à 86°) avec une hauteur d'environ 4000 km, qui avait progressivement diminué au cours de ses 9 années d'exploitation. Le satellite s'est partiellement désintégré en , suivi d'une deuxième rupture en , qui a entraîné la libération d'un grand nombre de fragments. La plupart d'entre eux sont rentrés dans l'atmosphère au cours de la décennie suivante. Les données de PAGEOS ont été suivies 11 fois.

Les prédécesseurs de PAGEOS en triangulation par satellite étaient les ballons Echo 1 (1960, 30 m) et Echo 2 (1964, 40 m), également utilisés pour les télécommunications passives. Leur magnitude apparente (luminosité) était de 1 mag, celle de PAGEOS, de 2 mag (comme l'Étoile polaire) en raison de son orbite plus élevée. PAGEOS a donc pu être observé simultanément du sol dans des endroits tels que l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord. PAGEOS est apparu comme une étoile au mouvement lent (à première vue, il semblerait qu'il soit immobile). Sa période orbitale était d'environ trois heures. En raison de son orbite élevée et de son inclinaison polaire, il évitait l'ombre de la Terre et pouvait être observé à toute heure de la nuit (les satellites en orbite basse ne sont observables que peu de temps après le coucher du soleil et avant son lever). Au début des années 1970, PAGEOS variait de la magnitude apparente 2 à au-delà de la visibilité sur une période de quelques minutes.

En 2016, l'un des plus gros fragments de PAGEOS s'est désorbité.

Malaysia Looks to India for New Fighter
David Oliver
Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) Tejas light combat aircraft
India has emerged as the frontrunner for a Malaysian requirement of light combat aircraft, with a package deal that would include maintenance and spares for the nation's Russian origin Su-30 fighter aircraft.
According to Indian media, the Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) Tejas light combat aircraft has emerged as the top choice for Malaysia as the nation looks at replacing its ageing fleet of fighter aircraft which include Mikoyan MiG-29s, Boeing F/A-18D Hornets and BAE Systems Hawk Mk.108/208s. The two sides are now holding negotiations to take forward the procurement process.
Malaysia has narrowed down on the Indian aircraft in the face of strong competition from China's Chengdu JF-17, South Korea's Korea Aerospace Industries FA-50 and Russia's MiG-35 and Yakovlev Yak-130, according to HAL's chairman and managing director R Madhavan.

THE SCULPTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF ANTONY GORMLEY
Anna Diakonitsyna
The work of Antony Gormley, a classic of contemporary British art, has long enjoyed worldwide recognition - today he is one of the most sought-after modern artists in the world. Every year, different countries host from five to ten new exhibitions of his sculptures, including large-scale open-air projects. Several of his works are permanently exhibited in the UK: among them the piece that brought fame to Gormley - "Angel of the North" (1998) with wings measuring 54 meters, in Gateshead in the North East of England, as well as "Quantum Cloud", mounted in Greenwich by the Thames, and "Another Place", sited in 2005 on Crosby Beach in Merseyside.
Gormley was born in 1950 in London. After graduation from Trinity College, Cambridge, with a degree in archaeology, anthropology and art history, he left Britain and travelled in India. When he returned to London three years later, he continued his education at Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design, Goldsmiths College, and at the Slade School of Art.
He is widely viewed as a sculptor who shifted the focus of modern sculpture back to the image of the human being. A concentration on a wide range of subjects related to the material environment, which distinguished his early artwork in the 1970s, by the early 1980s was replaced with close attention to the human body, which became the main object of the sculptor's work. In the 1980s Gormley created statues imaging anthropomorphic figures in a wide variety of poses, some of them fanciful and painful. His figures, of nearly human size, sited indoors or outdoors, represent allegories of elemental forces, times of day, calm or motion, and different emotional states: "Three Ways" (1981), "Land Sea and Air" (1982), "Fall" (1983), "Proof" (1984), "Earth (and Water)" (1985), "Sound II" (1986), and others. In some of the pieces created then the presence of a human being is felt only by the very trace of it - a shadow, contour, footprint or an impression made by a body on clay or gouged on a stone: "Bed" (1981), "Heavy Stone IV" (1982), "Still Falling" (1983).
In the 1990s the artist, without digressing from his main theme, started to study, by means of art, the problems of community born out of interaction of individualities (in the series of projects "Field", 1991-2003; "Another Place", 1997-2005). During the next decade, the sculptor has been losing interest in mass and volume and refocusing on attempts to sculpturally and visually embody the ideas of energy fields, systems and vectors that emerge as the result of interaction of separate parts ("Inside Australia", 2002-2003, "Blind Light" 2007-2009).
At this period he conceived the idea of the "Domain Field" project, implemented in 2003 with the support of the BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art (U K). It was no coincidence that this installation - one of Gormley's most eye-catching and innovative works - was chosen for his first major show in Russia, organized by the Center for Contemporary Culture Garage in 2009.
Gormley placed statues of people in an exhibition space with white walls - overall, 287 life-size figures were created for the installation. Each was fashioned after a real person, with residents of the British cities Newcastle and Gateshead, aged between two and 85, as models. During the first stage of the project, a specially-trained team moulded in plaster the volunteers' bodies. Then, using the moulds, sculptures were made - thin stainless steel bars welded together.
Certainly, the concept itself reminds one of the terracotta warriors of the Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, where the image of every warrior is individualized. This parallel is also obvious in Gormley's other pieces - first of all, in the series of installations under the generic name "Field", with its clay-made objects. A huge army of anthropomorphous figures takes up the entire space of the exhibition, thus barring the entrance to the space they occupy. The only way to view the figures is through an open door. This is akin to the perception of a painting - one can immerse oneself in the space of a painting through one's eyes but cannot enter it. The opposition "I and the Others" is materialized here in a most dramatic way.
In the "Domain Fields" installation, on the contrary, the figures are immaterial, translucent and appear weightless. Like in a light pencilled sketch, the figures' volume is barely traced in the space with angular, short steel rods. The figures do not share a common shape, and they also differ in density - the forms alternatively condense and melt into the air.
This effect of such virtual presence of a multitude of people - men and women, old people and children - greatly intrigues and captivates the viewer who has found himself inside the "domain field". This resembles most human memory governed by its own rules of space and time. "We can all bring our own memories to this place," Gormley says about this installation. "The field acts as a filter: perhaps with certain sculptures a certain memory of a particular person may occur to you. These are subtle bodies derived from material bodies. The point that I am making is that the subject of the work is not just in the works themselves, nor are they simply a formal exercise - it's a relation of viewers and the work."[1] The figures shot through with emptiness from every side spring to life and materialize only when they come in touch with live people: "The sculptures call for what they lack: movement, thought, feeling, life. They call upon our conscience, our feeling, our movement, and we become part of the work."[2]
In his practice of art, Antony Gormley assigns a special place to the viewer - the place of enthusiastic co-author whose input is vital for the very existence of modern art: "Without being seen or physically experienced, the work has no value, no function. Once it is in relation to the movement of people it has a kind of transferred energy."[3] A reverse process is important too: "The threshold ... reminds you of your own scale. Once you cross it you go into a strange zone, where you are testing yourself - losing and perhaps finding. The idea of reconnection comes up - you can't connect with a wider context of life, or its inner necessity, until you are lost. Any new experience should be a question of losing your coordinates. Hopefully you come back and find your home again but through a different aperture."[4]
Just as important is the threshold of estrangement in Antony Gormley's installations sited outside museums or exhibition spaces, in an authentic natural or urban environment. Much public attention was given to Gormley's project "Another Place" - it features dozens of statues imaging the sculptor himself, which were sited on Crosby Beach in Merseyside, and left to the will of water and wind. The figures are especially impressive during a high tide or a storm, when they are awash with water.
A human figure within the space of a megalopolis, no longer protected by architecture, became the main theme of the project "Event Horizon", which premiered in London in 2007. The name chosen for the installation is a term borrowed by the vocabulary of culture from mathematical jargon - it denotes a boundary in time and space between those phenomena that can be changed or foreseen, and those that cannot be changed or known beforehand. First in London, then in New York (2010) and Hong Kong (2015-2016), dozens of statues - the artist's alter ego sculptures - were mounted on pedestrian parts of the streets and roof tops. The project gives a new perspective of space in a metropolis and encourages contemplation about the role of a human being in this space - his physical and mental presence, with his feelings, emotions and memories.
All of Gormley's artwork, starting from the 1990s, is distinguished by attention to its viewers - their individualities, along with cultural and national identities. The series of installations titled "Field", carried out, in succession, on five continents, became a milestone in his career. For each of the projects, local residents created thousands of clay figures - highly generalized and at the same time individualized images. Then, according to the sculptor's idea, they were arrayed within a chosen installation space.
In his other projects, too, Gormley has used volunteer participants who created objects. Highly inclusive, his art destroys the caste insularity dominating the modern art community. Thus, the principle of collective creative endeavour is at the core of Gormley's installation "Clay and the Collective Body" unveiled in the spring of 2009 in Helsinki. A huge cube of clay weighing more than 100 tons, initially exhibited in a specially created building, later was offered up as a material for moulding, to be used by more than 2,000 participants, whose creations filled up the exhibition space. Gormley's masterclass at the Garage Centre, in conjunction with the Moscow show in 2009, was a continuation of sorts of this project.
The surprising role exchange, when ordinary people become creators of sculptural forms, makes one reflect on authorship and viewership, on who creates art and to whom it is addressed. Precisely these subjects are tackled in one of Gormley's prominent works "One & Other" - a live artwork, sited in 2009 on Trafalgar Square in London. For 100 days 2,400 volunteers, one after another, in an uninterrupted succession, spent an hour each on a plinth as a "live statue". They were allowed to do whatever they liked - singing, dancing, reciting verse, being themselves or impersonating some other person.
A classic of modern art who has won top prizes and the most prestigious awards in the field of the visual arts, Antony Gormley never stops looking for new forms of expression. It is proved by his latest exhibitions and projects that explore the role of a human being in today's world and cultural environment. Maybe for some young Russian artists acquaintance with his artwork at his solo exhibitions at the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture (2009) and the Hermitage (2011-2012) will become a turning point in their lives.

Q: Windows phone 8.1 to Universal App I am working on a Windows phone 8.1 application which consists of mainly a silverlight proect for the UI and a lot of other WINRT projects. The Silverlight project does the bulk of the work in displaying the data to the user and the WinRT project does all the major activities like pushing to the content to the server..
I would like to use the same WINRT projects in my Windows 8.1 application. Hence i am planning to use Universal apps to have a shared library and have different UI for both but use the bulk of the WINRT stuff for the same backend related activites.
I see that for windows phone 8.1 applciations(on silverlight) there are no templates like panorama etc...is there a work around or a best practice for this ?

A: It has been renamed to Hub to support both Windows and Windows Phone.


Zip-tip can base coat pin baking oven, mainly used for can making production line, bakes and forcedly cools the coat film on can surface after base coating.
1) Optimized air duct design. Hot air thoroughly heats the bottom surface and side face of zip-top can, so that it is completely surrounded by hot air; All air duct materials adopt high temperature resistant stainless steel, greatly reducing the impact of interior rusting of equipment on products.
2) Optimized overall structure design. It facilitates installation and chain wheel levelling, ensures all running chain wheels are in the same plane, prolongs the service life of chain, enhances the stability of zip-top cans running in equipment and further reduces unnecessary production accidents; it also reduces energy consumption.
3) Adopting frequency converting control, all draught fans ensure balanced air and consistent temperature through program control, which increases product stability and equipment safety.
① The direction in which high-temperature air bakes the surface of zip-top cans. Through special structure design of air hose and air dust, high-temperature air uniformly flows to the surface of zip-top cans in high speed and specified direction, accelerating bottom coating baking and preventing damage of high-speed air on base coat film.
② Gas flow loop in the oven and energy conservation. High-temperature air flows inside the oven in a cycled and heated way through inner structure design of the oven, and frequency conversion fans and detection elements automatically control temperature in the oven, which save energy to the greatest extent.
③ Structure design of oven. The reasonable oven structure design can greatly increase the stability of running chains and zip-top cans and results in better baking effect.
1) Highest line speed of 1,800 cans/minute.
2) Highest can temperature of 204°C, over-temperature alarm at 224°C.
3) Maximum heat output of 600,000 kcal/hour.
4) Maximum gas displacement 20,000 cubic meters/hour.
5) Pin effective length of 182 mm.


No worries, let's see if we can fix this together so you can get you back to enjoying your favorite TV shows.
Let's make sure that your cable box is powered on (most boxes will have either an amber power indicator light or the time or channel displayed on the front).
Next, there should also be a cord (coaxial, component, or HDMI) that connects your cable box to your TV. Make sure that these cables are all security connected to both your TV and your cable box.
With the remote that came with your TV make sure that the TV itself is on Channel 3. If you do not have the remote that came with the TV you can do this with the manual channel changing buttons on the TV itself.
Put the TV on the right source/input with the remote that came with the TV. When you press the source/input button it should display a list of the input options available. If you are unsure of which source/input is correct you can try each option from the list until you get a picture. Again, if you cannot locate the remote that came with your TV then you can use the manual source/input buttons on the TV itself.
If these steps do not resolve your issue please contact our local support desk via phone, chat or email.

MANCHESTER CITY'S Samir Nasri is facing eight weeks out after sustaining knee ligament damage in a challenge from Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini felt Yanga-Mbiwa should have been sent off for the challenge on the France midfielder in his side's 2-0 win at Newcastle on Sunday.
It had been feared that Nasri would face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after he was carried off on a stretcher in tears but scans yesterday revealed his absence would be limited to two months.
Although Nasri will hope to play a full part in the final weeks of the campaign he will miss a key run of fixtures, including the Champions League last-16 clash with Barcelona, as well as league matches against Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Nasri has been in outstanding form under new boss Pellegrini, starting 16 Premier League matches, scoring four goals and setting up another three.
Indeed, City have put seven goals past Norwich and given London trio Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham six of the best this season, but Sunday's scrambled victory over Newcastle gave them just as much satisfaction.
Former Magpies winger James Milner insists the victory at St James' Park proves they are capable of effective as well as exciting football under Pellegrini as they continue to chase a second Premier League title in three years.
Milner, who came on as a second-half substitute and set up Alvaro Negredo's injury-time strike, said: "It feels like a massive win because these are the type of really difficult tests that you want to win if you have any hopes of topping the table.
"Everyone knows we can play good, attractive football because we have scored so many goals this season, but these are the sort of games where you have to dig in and grind out a result.

Software Is Eating the World
Menu Close Navigation
by	Katie Haun and Denis Nazarov
The promise of the internet was to connect billions of people through information and data. And it's been successful at that: We can access a website around the world in seconds, share content, and interact with each other through emails, messages, photos, blogs, videos, and more.
But while the internet of information has succeeded, we're still missing the internet of value. Shouldn't we be able to transfer value just like we transfer a photo or the contents of an email around the world — seamlessly and in seconds? Right now, when you send "money" via a financial application like Venmo or PayPal, you're not really sending money but rather a digital IOU.
That's where crypto comes in. For the first time it gives an internet or mobile phone user the ability to transfer a unique piece of digital property to another internet or mobile user. The users can verify that the transfer has taken place, and that transfer can happen independently of any central party. The fundamental shift with crypto is that after clicking "send" the recipient — whether on the other side of town or the other side of the world — possesses the actual value. It is like cash in this way, but is also digitally native like an image or email.
One of the most frequent questions we get is "Why is this all needed?" Aren't current payment systems — whether credit cards or apps like Apple Pay, PayPal, or Venmo — working just fine? The answer depends on where you're sitting: if you live somewhere with a developed financial ecosystem and reliable socio-economic institutions, they're working well enough. But these applications only work when both the sender and receiver have basic financial infrastructure already in place, like a bank account to which their app is linked.
But nearly two billion people in the world, despite having access to a smartphone, lack bank accounts or even identity documents. In fact, over half of Argentina is unbanked despite a high penetration of mobile phones. The situation is worse in Africa where an even higher percentage of the population lacks a bank account. Without basic financial services, people don't have a straightforward way to receive or store value or easily pay for things, let alone establish assets, build credit history, or get a loan. As a result, this massive segment of the population is excluded from the global economy.
And even for those of us who do have financial apps and payment systems that function "well enough" there's still plenty of room for improvement. Making an international payment or wire isn't instant. Even the simplest credit card transaction involves half a dozen intermediaries: payment gateways, processors, credit card associations, issuing and merchant banks. Behind the scenes, all these middlemen must still provide settlement services, which not only takes time but also results in fees of roughly two to three percent in the developed world. Elsewhere, rates are much higher.
People have talked about crypto addressing inefficient payment mechanisms and the unbanked for some time. But volatility has plagued the space. And what actually exists today are technical, often disjointed solutions that not everyone is able (or willing) to put together to make a simple transaction. This is one reason mainstream adoption hasn't yet happened. And until a working and smooth user experience takes hold and volatility is solved for, it may not.
Just as user experience and a user-friendly interface made the internet go mainstream, we believe a similar focus on usability in crypto could unlock the promise of internet money.
That's why we are excited to announce our investment in Celo. Celo is building a global payment platform that can be used by anyone around the world with a mobile phone — no banks or intermediaries required. Under the hood, it is a decentralized smart contract platform whose architecture enables mobile phones to easily validate transactions, and it uses stable-value tokens pegged to fiat currency to minimize volatility. But because Celo is building both the underlying infrastructure and a consumer mobile wallet, it is taking a "full stack" approach. This means they're building a complete product or service that can bypass legacy infrastructure and limitations, and more importantly, provide a better end-to-end experience — enabling Celo to take the best features of crypto and pair them with a more seamless user experience.
Celo is building a global team and has offices in San Francisco and Berlin. The team has attracted experienced engineers, designers, legal and policy experts, and researchers. They've hired from companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, Pinterest, Square, Visa, and WhatsApp to help further build Celo's decentralized community of creators — from developers to designers to partners — around the globe.
Our focus at a16z is always on the team. Not only does Celo represent a strong global team that knows how to bring complicated technology to a mainstream audience by making it easy to use, it's a great example of experienced entrepreneurs entering crypto. Co-founder Sep Kamvar developed the first efficient algorithm for adding personal context to the internet search process, and after Google acquired his company, he led personalization at the search giant. Until recently Sep was an MIT professor and is also the inventor of EigenTrust, one of the most well-known protocols for trust computation in decentralized systems.
His co-founders Rene Reinsberg and Marek Olszewski founded a machine learning startup that spun out of MIT and was later acquired by GoDaddy. Marek made influential contributions to the field of efficient deterministic multithreading while at MIT, and also worked at Google, Microsoft Research, and Sun Labs, where he focused on program correctness and scalable lock-free algorithm research. And Rene began his career in finance, working in global capital markets at Morgan Stanley, with stints in McKinsey's financial services group and at the World Bank's Venezuela office.
Together, the founding team brings deep perspectives in tech, mobile, and finance, all united under one roof to help crypto do for the next wave of the internet what user-friendly versions of email, photo, and text did for the last wave of the internet. We are thrilled to partner with Celo on their journey to "make money connected" and create open financial tools for the benefit of all.

After hundreds of thousands of dollars in consultants reports and more than a year of lost rental, the Sydney Opera House's push to make its iconic Bennelong restaurant more casual and accessible is over, with news this morning that one of Australia's best chefs, Peter Gilmore, of the three-hat Quay restaurant, will take control of the site.
The 10-year deal with the Fink Group, owners of Quay, was lauded by new Opera House Trust chairman, John Symond, as "a superb result".
But it follows a turbulent period which saw the fine diner of the previous 12-year incumbent, Guillaume Brahimi, go at the end of 2013 when he decided against re-tendering because in the wake of a review by consultants, Opera House management had pushed to make the site more egalitarian.
The Melbourne-based Van Haandel family were appointed as operators, but after their signature St Kilda restaurant, The Stokehouse, burnt down in January, they withdrew from the deal and the tender process began again in June.
Today's decision is something of an embarrassment to Opera House management, who have backed away from their initial plans.
In March, CEO Louis Heron said "Our goal remains to bring this key venue to life day and night, seven days a week".
The new Bennelong under the Fink group will be open daily for dinner, but just lunch Friday through Sunday and brunch on Sunday.
Today, Symond said "We wanted an operator who could deliver a dining experience to match the inspiring setting and that is what we have found".
Bennelong has been operating as a function space – an excess of functions being held there was one of the criticisms leveled against Brahimi – since it closed 11 months ago.
The new restaurant will include a "signature Peter Gilmore dining experience" on the main lower level, an upper level bar and casual space targeting pre- and post-show meals, a chef's table in the kitchen and a mid-level seafood bar.
Peter Gilmore continues as Quay's executive chef but will concentrate on the new site opposite his Circular Quay setting, with Quay's senior sous-chef, Robert Cockerill, becoming Bennelong's head chef. It's Gilmore's first new venture since joining Quay in 2001.
The Fink Group will begin multi-million refurbishment of the space in mid-January, with the restaurant expected to open by June 2015, 15 months later than previously intended. The delay is estimated to have cost the Opera House more than $500,000 in lost rental.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Matt Moran's Opera Bar is currently closed for a 5-week refurbishment after his group won another 10-year tender to operate the site and will reopen on December 10.
Moran is also running a New Year's Eve function in the Bennelong restaurant this year.

Turncoat cult member details sorority of sex slaves under sway of NXVIM master Keith Raniere — and details his taste for threesomes
By Shayna Jacobs and Larry McShane
In this Jan. 28, 2019 file photo, Lauren Salzman leaves Brooklyn federal court in New York. Salzman could be one of the former members of the group, NXIVM, who are poised to break their vow of silence for the first time by testifying against the group's one time leader, Keith Raniere, at a trial set to begin on Tuesday, May 7, 2019. (Seth Wenig/AP)
NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere served as the sexual ringmaster for his inner circle of female followers, coercing the women into threesomes while insisting their romps were key to any "personal growth," a cult insider-turned-federal witness testified Friday.
"He was my master," said prosecution witness Lauren Salzman, 42, taking the stand in Brooklyn Federal Court. "He was my most important person. I looked up to him. I wanted to be like him."
Salzman dabbed away tears at times and spoke in a shaky voice while detailing the sordid sexual shenanigans orchestrated by Raniere at the cult's upstate compound. She avoided even glancing at her former lover during her day-long courtroom appearance.
The witness, dressed in all black, recounted how a special sorority of eight NXIVM members began their weekly meetings by posing nude for photos delivered to Raniere — making sure to flash his initials, which were branded into their flesh.
"We had fully-frontal naked and our brands had to show," testified Salzman. "We had to look uniform and happy."
Salzman and the seven other "first-line slaves" reported directly to Raniere, 58. They met three times each week, gathered for the salacious photo and went on to discuss "sorority work" and other matters, according to Salzman.
She recalled that the process changed if Raniere opted to attend the all-female meeting.
"We would all get undressed and sit below him," she recounted. "He would sit above us on a chair. We would talk about a lot of different things, (including) philosophical concepts."
Within the cult, Raniere assumed a mythical position where members would speak in awe about his supposed powers. In one case, Raniere was walking with a friend when the skies above opened up — and he emerged from the downpour bone-dry.
"It was raining," Salzman explained. "But it wasn't raining on him."
Salzman recalled first meeting Raniere as a 21-year-old back in 1998, with her mom Nancy introducing the pair.
"I thought he was a little strange," testified Salzman. "I felt awkward around Keith at first."
But her unease eventually disappeared, and she began sleeping with Raniere on April 1, 2001 — with their affair continuing for the next eight years. According to Salzman, Raniere insisted on her monogamy as he slept with other cult members.
Raniere claimed his sexual duties with the women were "sometimes very difficult" — but swore they were essential to the personal growth of his followers, Salzman recounted.
Raniere pleaded innocent to sex trafficking and conspiracy as his most trusted followers, including one-time "Smallville" star Alison Mack and Seagram's liquor heiress Clare Bronfman, all took plea deals rather than stand trial alongside their charismatic and creepy ex-leader.
Nancy Salzman, once Raniere's top lieutenant and the cult's co-founder, also pleaded guilty as did her daughter.
Salzman appeared after a sex toy company executive testified about a $922.74 order delivered to the cult's upstate compound in April 2017 — a package that included the "deluxe restraint kit," a studded rubber paddle and other bondage equipment.


"You've got it again, whatever it was!"
The man went to the doctor with an ailment. The Dr. took some blood and ran some tests, but found nothing. The man still complained, so the Dr. took a throat culture. Still no results. The man was still ill so the Dr. tried a biopsy. It was all fruitless.
The Dr. said "Have you had this illness before?"
"Yes," the man replied. To which the Dr. said "Well, you've got it again!"
In C. H. SPURGEON's lifetime, while operating his "Pastor's College" it was the practice on Friday afternoon to call upon various ones of the students to exhibit their own ability as preachers (and that without prior knowledge of the subject matter).
On one occasion Spurgeon called upon a student to give a message on "Zaccheus."
The student arose and said: "Zaccheus was little of stature, so am I. Zaccheus was up a tree, so am I. Zaccheus came down, so will I."
Both the students and Mr. Spurgeon applauded the "ingenious" performance.
--Extract from Spurgeon's "Lectures to My Students"
"Even as full wheat in the ear falleth out with the least motion of the sheaf, but that which is somewhat shrunk more hardly leaveth the husk, while that which is altogether shrunk will rather go to the chaff than go out of the ear; so, a sincere-hearted Christian, with the least affliction, leaveth his sin, and flieth to God. The weaker Christian more hardly doeth the same; but the apostate will rather burn with unquenchable fire than forsake his beloved sin, that so he may turn to God."
--From Robert Cawdray's "A Treasury; or, Storehouse of Similes . . etc."

A NORTH Belfast man has turned a negative into a real positive in his efforts to help his son and other suffering from epilepsy.
Deegall McKillen, whose son Matt suffers from the condition, organised an awareness event recently Monday at Girdwood Community Hub to coincide with 'Purple Day' on March 26 – the international day for epilepsy awareness.
Matt, 21, was recently told that he could not use the gym at Girdwood due to his condition. Deegall decided that rather than just complain, he would take it upon himself to use the incident to change the way people with epilepsy are viewed in society.
"Matt wanted to join a gym that I've been a member for around 10 years," explained Deegall. "Matt came along and filled out the joining form while I went to train.
"About 25 minutes later there was no sign of Matt. He was outside saying he had declared on his application form that he had epilepsy and that meant the gym wouldn't let him join.
Deegall resolved not to leave it at that.
"I decided to contact the leisure centre and explained that I wanted to hold an epilepsy information morning on Purple Day 2018 at Girdwood Community Hub.
Deegall welcomed members of the public to the fundraising event to talk to volunteers from Epilepsy Action Helpline charity. All funds raised will go towards expanding the charity's helpline service.
Deegall also organised for Stormont's Parliament Buildings to be lit up in purple to mark epilepsy awareness day.


Apple iOS 8 jailbreak is released by Pangu and it is time to upgrade to latest iOS.
I feel that iOS 8 is better than iOS 7, like Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Apple has seeded iOS 8.1.1 beta and it is known that this update cannot be jailbroken.
It is advisable to upgrade the device to iOS 8.1 and you can jailbreak in the future.
S3-4. If you jailbreak using Pangu up to v1.2.0, you must upgrade Cydia Installer to v1.1.16.
Notes: No Action required if you jailbreak using Pangu v1.2.1 as it includes Cydia Installer to v1.1.16.


When you think wearables, you don't usually think international superstar or Salesforce. Push aside that old way of thinking aside because Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am just unveiled his Puls smartwatch at the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco.
Pronounced "pulse," the smartwatch is voice controlled via a Siri-like feature called Aneeda (get it? Aneeda. I need a…). It ships with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (called Twitrist. get it? Twit wrist. Puns!), and Salesforce. It also has the expected photo, email, contacts, call, texting, calculator, music and fitness functions.
The watch will be released under the i.am+ brand and it took a team of 35 engineers two and a half years to build. The finished product has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It also sports GSM 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, a pedometer and accelerometer. The battery is part of the strap along with a speaker.
The Puls comes in black, white, blue and pink. Plus there are high-end Lux versions in gold, and gold with diamonds. Baller!
But, he says "this is not a watch" instead it's a cuff . Also, he says it has four kilowatts of DAF (Dope as Fuckness).
The Aneeda feature is powered by Nuance. The company was approached by the i.am+ team a year ago.
Will.i.am says that music is baked into the operating system. You can add songs by telling Aneeda where to place it.
The Puls' fitness feature keeps track of your reps as you workout, and I.am+ is working on a app that lets you sync your Puls with another person's Puls to share workout information with each other.
There's an emotion detector. It uses an app called Vibe to determine how you feel. It's kinda weird.
The Puls is offered exclusively with carrier partner AT&T in the US. In the UK, O2 is the exclusive network partner.
We've also been told there will be updates later about a partnership with News Corp for a new way to deliver news. We've heard that before, but it could be interesting to see how that plays out.
There's no information on when you'll be able to actually buy the Puls or how much it'll cost. The Humin app for the watch will be available in 2015.
Will.i.am also talked about a dream he has for a future product line called Pow-Wear. Clothing that powers the Puls by just touching the watch. He also talked about shoes that weigh you and count your steps. There's also a backpack that has a speaker in it.
Will.i.am previewed the watch on British talk show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man in April 2014. The Grammy award winning, Mr i.am announced that he expected the watch to be released in July 2014. Alas, hardware is notoriously difficult and today was the grand unveiling of the Puls smartwatch he showed off last year.
Alongside his interest in wearables and fashion tech, Will.i.am is also a founding shareholder of Beats headphones and still owns a stake in the company that was just purchased by Apple.


Thanks to all who answered me regarding the pain at the end of a draining bag.I have discovered this happens when I try to drain when there is only a drip coming out. At the moment I use 5 bags daily but hope to go on to the nightly bag exchanges.
The other problem i am having is trying to balance my diabetes as there is glucose in the bags.Did anyone else discover that they had to increase their insulin by quite a bit to keep low levels of sugar. Any suggestions???
I am looking for an iv pole like the kind in hospital to hold the exchange bag.Does anyone know where i could buy one in the UK.(Plenty for sale in the USA on the inter net but nothing in the UK.
Hey AL - hope u are getting on OK with the PD , i was on it for 3 years in various forms. I also had the pain at the end of a drain , had to leave 50ml or so in at the end. I was on the long term bags most of the time - 1 xchange morning , special bag in ALL day ( had to , to keep working ) , and then xchanges tea time and night.
I managed to , er , borrow a couple of stands off the hospital , but I used to do PD everywhere , so bought a couple of hooks that slip on top of doors from B+Q , had them with me all the time.
I also finaly got onto the nightly APD but didnt have much luck on it - but persevered if only to make work easier.
I think most people get the pain right at the end, because your pulling at nothing. I was told as soon as you feel the pulling pain, clamp yourself off - you don't need to get every single drop out, it will make no difference to your dialysis and your only talking about a few mls.
I too experience pain when at the end of draining. My renal nurse had told me to clamp off when this pain occurs (it is the peritoneum sucking up due to a vacuum inside the abdominal cavity). At the first sign of this pain, use your clamp. Alternatively, I have found that if I exercise for about five minutes before I start my drain, this seems to have a positive effect in that I feel no such pain at the end of draining - it does depend, however, on how many times you feel you can run up and downstairs!
I know I'm a little late on this one, so I hope you find it. I use a collapsable camera tripod. You need to take some of the handles off, but it works great for travel. I have a normal heating pad, and plug it in on low into a 12 volt inverter when I'm traveling in my truck or out at the cottage (not electricity, only solar). I have a back-pack set up with everything I need. I can go anywhere. It is totally portable. This way I can dialyize at work, on the road, wherever I need to.
I used to have pain at the end of the drain, but now when it happens I just close the valve a little.
Also a little late contributing to this one, but a LOT of patients don't bother with drip stand as such. Screw hooks into your 'own' premises and door or picture rail hooks for travelling, or make your own from very stiff wire (round the ends off or cap them to prevent the risk of piercing bags), failing that, trees, picture hooks (remove the picture first ) and car coat hooks make greatstands at a pinch for manual PD when out and about.
I have twisted a coat hanger so that it hands upside down from the top of any door. I hook my bag over the hook at the bottom and viola! I have taken one to work (as I can't be bothered to pay for actual hooks....) and carry one in my car - just in case.
Does anyone know what <degradation> refers to in <low-glucose degradation> PD solutions?
