2 DC officers under investigation over handling of threat complaint before youth coach shot to death

Andre Young
Youth football coach shot to death in DC
WASHINGTON - Questions are being raised about the actions of two D.C. police officers before a Maryland youth football coach was murdered in Southeast D.C. Both officers have had their police powers revoked and have been placed on non-contact status since then.
Andre Young was fatally shot on July 30 in the 1500 block of 19th Street in Southeast D.C. The 47-year-old was shot in the head when friends and law enforcement sources said he stepped in to stop an assault during a dispute. A second man was also shot and wounded.
Friends said Young was a father of five who coached youth football in Glenarden.
D.C. police are not providing an on-the-record account of what took place before Young was killed, but shortly before the shooting, five people went to the Sixth District Substation to file a complaint.
According to a police report obtained by FOX 5, the five people told police that a man was refusing to leave a house and had threatened them. The report said the man entered the common area, lifted up his shirt, showed an unknown object and stated, "I'm the reason why the murder rate is up in DC." He then re-entered the residence and stated, "If I'm not living here nobody is," and then fled.
Sources said the officer who took the report may not have followed proper protocol. He has had his police powers revoked.
A second officer, a detective, also may not have followed protocol and told the five people filing the complaint to go home and to call 911 if they saw the man making the threats, according to sources.
Sources said at the very least, the people who filed the complaint should have been escorted home with an armed police officer to make sure it was safe for them to go home. It did not happen and investigators are now looking into the officers' actions.
So far, several community members are voicing their contempt for the proposed structure.

Here is report of the day including information you may find useful including some items you may want to action.
Submissions are currently being invited to Heritage 2030: guilds or individual craftspeople are encouraged to make a submission. The policy apparently has quite a wide remit and deals quite well with heritage in general – buildings, landscapes, etc but it is worrying that there is little mention of Craft, especially traditional crafts. The closing date has been extended to 31st March hoping that there will be a lot more. The remit is quite wide (environment/ buildings/etc.) but has little mention of Craft especially traditional crafts.
There was Discussion on ways to promote and celebrate excellence in Craft and Design – Awards V Distinction; traditional Skill V Creativity; Submission and Refusal; Adjudication – cost and relevance (peers/ other disciplines/ expert); Value of exhibitions in encouraging new involvement V showcase of own craft (commercial value?) Interdisciplinary practice; Value of Dublin = accessibility V Touring exhibition.
The Eurpean Artistic days are set for 7th-10th April. In association with this Felt makers Ireland will hold its usual Sunday Session on Sunday 14th. Helene Dooley will take us through the making of felt with multiple resists. The theme of this year's European Artistic days is "to promote know how, inherited from yesterday but reinvented today". Felting which is one of the oldest crafts in society was used to provide the very basics of clothing and shelter, is now emerging as a luxury craft as well as a medium for visual artists.
Dccoi announced the Opening of Tyrone Guthrie Centre Monaghan for 2 Craft residencies- please contact them if interested.
Making.ie a new website, the DCCOi have found their magazine was no longer viable – so without this traditional medium to showcase work, it was decided to adapt to the new media of Web page/ Instagram/ twitter. With an Aim to provide a catalogue of craft ideas and initiatives.
We have added this link to our "Community resources "page and we will keep in touch with them in an effort to liaises and promote Felt maker Ireland events.
Ben Elliot from UCD School of Architecture is investigating societies of the past from their material remains: some interesting public seminars. All are Welcome – April 18th 12.00-1300 Barry Raftery Seminar Room Ardmore Annex UCD "CRAFT: HOW TRADITIONAL CRAFTS ARE ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MAKING" benjamin.elliott@ucd.ie this could really apply to felt making and Ben would be interested in talking to members and makers.
NIVAL (National Irish Visual Arts Library) – Renata Pekowska any archival material – pictures/ catalogues/ advertisement/ photos/ your own items of craft and their stories – new premises in NCAD by summer.
Feltmakers Ireland has been lucky to receive funding from DCCoI. With this funding we were able to host a Masterclass in September 2017 with interior architects and felt designers Claudio Varone and Anneke Copier in Farmleigh, Phoenix Park.
We look forward to continued association with the Design Crafts Council.

Based on a discussion on the Exploder I decided to provide a sample on how to leverage BMX to check wall thickness of a part.
The C/E Pro 5.0 (WF 5.0 M050) file is attached.
The key is to issolate the surfaces from the model you wish to measure (i.e. inside to outside). Next leverage field points, analysis features and User defined analysis to solve the measurements around the entire "field".
This is an excellent example of how powerful BMX can be. Not many users are aware of what UDAs are, so they're not used often. BMX training should be part of standard training for all new users to Pro/E & Creo.
Watch this for Wall Thickness Check. Advance yet simple wall thickness analysis availble under Creo and WF5, WF4.
Here are images of 2D, 2D at section and 3D thickness analysis.
used various methods like Ray, Circle and Sphere methods for thickness calcuation.
Most importat function use search thin and thick areas - you can provide ranges and limits!

Q: Error calling method on NPObject exception with google earth I'm trying to implement a Google Earth controller via Websockets.
I have a simple echo websockets server in c#, when i type a value in a textbox it just sends it back to the page (I plan to be able to directly send data from the server later).
My script to initialize google earth is pretty standard and works:

(ge variable) is just the google earth instance.
Now in my server code, if I do:
            ws.onmessage = function (evt)
        {
            inc.innerHTML += evt.data + '
';
            var lookAt =              ge.getView().copyAsLookAt(ge.ALTITUDE_RELATIVE_TO_GROUND);
            lookAt.setLatitude(lookAt.getLatitude() + 10);
            lookAt.setLongitude(lookAt.getLongitude() + 20);
            ge.getView().setAbstractView(lookAt);
        };

Everything works (earth rotates a tiny bit).
Now if I do:
            ws.onmessage = function (evt)
        {
            inc.innerHTML += evt.data + '
';
            var lookAt = ge.getView().copyAsLookAt(ge.ALTITUDE_RELATIVE_TO_GROUND);
            lookAt.setLatitude(lookAt.getLatitude() + evt.data); //Here i try to use the data received
            lookAt.setLongitude(lookAt.getLongitude() + 20);
            ge.getView().setAbstractView(lookAt);
        };

I get exception : Error calling method on NPObject
I tried to split string, convert to number, but always get the same error.
inc.innerHTML += evt.data + '
';

always works tho.
EDIT:
I also tried :
    var i = parseInt(d); //Works
but then when i call l
    lookAt.setLatitude(i); //Exception
Any help appreciated

A: Try replacing evt.data with (+evt.data), the unary plus operator forces the value to a number.
I don't know the Google Earth API but if getLongitude was returning a string for some weird reason then that could produce the behaviour you're seeing there (string + number is a number but string + string is a string).

A: Ok sorted, pretty stupid thing, server was sending extra characters.
Feels a bit bad to have this generic error on parsing, having something like "string format invalid" would be bit more meaningful.

A: I had the exact same problem and it turned out that the lat/long values were too precise, so I did this to turn it into the maximum 6 decimal precision equivalent:
function Blah(lat, lon) {
    //because the GPS is ridiculously accurate and
    //google earth is not, we need to round to six decimals at most
    lat = Math.round(lat * 1000000) / 1000000;
    lon = Math.round(lon * 1000000) / 1000000;

Now, you are a lot more ready to get started in commercial real estate. You might felt yourself ready to enter the commercial real estate market before reading this article, but I bet you feel even better prepared now! With luck, the advice in this article will point you in some new directions that lead you to commercial real estate success.


The first things that hits us with this card is the colour, lots of reds and yellows here and oranges between. Red is the colour of power, action, blood, life, the base chakra – where we connect to the earthly realm – the material, money and earthly concerns. From this we have already a sense of the card's meaning.
Yellow is a colour of the solar plexus and our self-esteem and sense of self, is it the sun and the corresponding associations of warmth, connection, life, light, growth and the self.
Each colour has its flip side to the anger and violence of red, the cowardice (yellow-bellied) and overdone energy of the sun in its burning, the arrogance of over self-assertion.
If we start to look to the technical make up of the card we see this card is connected to Aries (ruler mars and colour red) and the sun is exalted in Aries and we have an astrological link with the above initial observations. Aries being the leader the driving force, the warrior of a group of people. Confident and assertive and if overdone with its mars ruler, also aggressive and unyielding Aries is indicated by the sign of Aries on the border and more obviously in the depiction of the ram through out the card. The dark and light Ram representing the two faces of this powerful warrior energy, the rams head on the sceptre, the tool with which the power is wielded.
Many of the Thoth cards can be read in this way – as we look at the image, so tightly connected to the underlying systems of thought, so we access the card's meaning easily and simply – with little knowledge of the depth of astrology we could fathom beneath it – indeed taking it further and exploring these realms is interesting and enriching, but to understand the cards to start to use them it is not necessary. We can begin from where we are.
The bees on the garments of the Emperor symbolising working together as a group, hard work generally and a feeling of organisation and industriousness. They also symbolise fertility and that good works can come from the Emperor's leadership. You can see the bees in their honey making as the ability of the Emperor energy to provide for the young, to father children and provide a good stable nutritious base for them to grow from. There is a sense too that the bee is in service to the Queen, and so it is in the Emperor energy, reflecting in us that our masculine sides are the protectors of the intuitive feminine side, the intuitive having the inspiration of direction and the Emperor serving her – leading the group to the direction she suggests.
The number four is represented here frequently – in the card number itself, the shape of the Emperors legs, the cross upon the orb, the dominant points in the circles to the left and right – 4 being the number of stability, structure, buildings (four walls). He is a stable character, dependable and committed. Able to make decisions and follow them through.
The lamb at his feet a symbol of innocence, youth and softness, all this authority needing to be tempered by a reminder of the vulnerability of people, and ourselves. As he protects and cares he becomes a stronger leader, and balances his determined warrior energy.

With the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of Harrodsburg fast approaching in 2024, history has been a major topic of conversation in town. Everyone is excited about the upcoming celebration, but did you know Harrodsburg recently, by six degrees of separation, had a 75th anniversary celebration?
The SS James Harrod was a Liberty cargo ship named for the founder of Harrodsburg and was built in 1943. This war craft was constructed of steel and was a steam-powered vessel. The Harrod was operated by Sudden and Christenson, Inc., a West Coast shipping firm. Its call sign was KKRQ.
Liberty ships carried a crew of about 44 and 12 to 25 Naval Armed Guards. The SS James Harrod was 441 feet long and 56 feet wide. She had a three-cylinder, reciprocating steam engine, fed by two oil-burning boilers produced 2,500 hp and a speed of 11 knots. She had five holds and could carry over 9,000 tons of cargo, plus airplanes, tanks, and locomotives lashed to its deck. A Liberty ship could carry 2,840 jeeps, 440 tanks, or 230 million rounds of rifle ammunition. A Liberty ship cost just under $2 million and was built in four and a half days using parts prefabricated throughout the country in 250-ton sections.
The Harrod was launched March 2, 1943 at Portland, Oregon by the Oregon Shipbuilding Company, its 144th Liberty Ship completed during World War II. At the launching program, a telegram was read from Mayor pro-tem Tom Squifflet, acting while Mayor Maurice Watts was serving in the Navy. The telegram carried the appreciation of the citizens of Harrodsburg for the ship's name and expressed good wishes for the crew and the hope of a useful future for the gallant ship.
Returning from its maiden voyage, the commander of the ship; wrote that the "James Harrod" had made a splendid record, and the entire crew was proud of the ship's action. No further news of the ship was received until Harrodsburg Herald Editor D. M. Hutton received a business letter from Adolph A. Hoehling, head of an aviation news service in Washington, D. C., and author of The Fighting Liberty Ships:
"Incidentally, you may be interested in the fate of the SS James Harrod, named after the founder of Harrodsburg. I was in command of the gun crew on the ships last voyage. We collided and burned in the North Sea, January 16, 1945. We lost four men."
The naval liberty ship, SS James Harrod, had collided with the SS Raymond B. Stevens on January 16, 1945 and burned in the North Sea. The Harrod exploded, burnt, and grounded near Deal Castle, after colliding with the Stevens. Upon collision, the Harrod was beached off Kingsdown by tugs. After the crew were removed, she blew off northward until she stranded on Malm Rocks and broke in two.
The SS James Harrod was carrying a cargo of 80-octane gasoline in GI tins – five gallons each – for a total of 9,200 tons. Much of her cargo was salvaged despite the fire. Some of the damaged ship can still be found on site. Her stern lies at 51 12.59N, 01 24.38E. Her fore section was abandoned on Blythe Sands and was later refloated and laid up in the River Blackwater. In 1946 the bow was removed and scuttled with German gas weapons on board.
As Armed Guard Officer, Hoehling was assigned to lead the gun crew on merchant ships. Beginning in December 1943 he began a series of voyages that took him to India, Singapore, Mozambique, Italy, and Algeria, as well as various ports of the United Kingdom and the United States. After a time on this first ship, he was transferred to a T-2 tanker, in which he made several voyages (including one through a powerful hurricane in which she nearly foundered) before being transferred to the SS James Harrod. This was his last ship before retirement.
Hoehling's account of his adventures in his book, The Fighting Liberty Ships, include the relationships between gun crews and merchant crews (the former was usually viewed as hindrances by the latter), and between himself as officer and the typical cross-section of American soldier under his command. The chapters dealing with the destruction of the Harrod are moving and at times disquieting. The personal narrative is well-framed by frequent brief segments summarizing events in the land and sea conflicts and supported by an impressive bibliography.
"About 0100 on 16 January the vessel passed Dover and proceeded into the Downs toward the Southern Anchorage, Ransgate. Weather had cleared then and visibility was 3 miles or better. Wind was negligible. A strong current of about 4 knots, was setting from the Southwest"
Suddenly at 0125 the Harrod collided with an anchored vessel. The bow of the second Liberty ship scraped half the length of the Harrod's starboard, shearing off all life rafts and boats, finally crunching into an after-cargo hold. Why the current had not pushed the Harrod away from the other ship would remain a mystery - yet one more mystery surrounding James Harrod.
"Flames … quickly towered to a great height, accompanied by explosions as the tins of gasoline went up individually. Some of the cans popped out into the water on the starboard side … causing a pool of flame on the water."
Photo from 75th anniversary memorial
Some of the shattered Harrod's cargo (from forward holds) would be salvaged for service in the war's final days. As a matter of fact, at the writing of this article, there is a sterling silver box from the wreckage for sell on eBay. It is engraved with the words, "Mrs. Erven F. Murphy, Sponsor of SS James Harrod, on March 3, 1943, built by Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation for the United States Maritime Commission." This appears to have been a gift to Mrs. Murphy for being a sponsor during the building of the ship. Asking price, $895.
I am lucky enough to have a Facebook friend, Carly Morris, who lives near Deal Kent, UK. She contacted me and then the James Harrod Trust about the 75th anniversary memorial that was held on January 16, 2020. She also sent along some photographs. The information at the memorial states:
"It was in the early hours of the 16th of January 1935, that the SS James Harrod anchored up for an overnight stop in the waters of the English Channel. There was a very strong tide and the anchor could not hold the bottom, setting it on a collision course with the Liberty ship SS Raymond B. Stevens. Both were carrying dangerous cargo for the war effort. The Harrod was carrying thousands of containers of fuel which ignited on impact killing four navy armed guards. The ship burned for a few days before it ran aground off Deal in Kent."
The deaths are recorded at Cambridge American cemetery in the UK are as follows:
· Graydon Edward Taylor, Gunners mate 3rd class, age 22 from Everett, Boston – repatriated. At rest at Greenwood Cemetery.
· Walter T. Porter, from South Natick, Massachusetts. He is buried in the Americans Cemetery, Cambridge, UK.
· James F. Ricketts, First class from Homer, Louisiana, son of Mary Lou. James was the third son of Mary to be lost to war. James is recorded as Missing in Action.
· Paul R. Thompson, Seaman first class. From Greensboro, North Carolina. Recorded as Missing in Action.
Both Ricketts and Thompson are remembered on memorial tablets in Cambridge.

Did James Harrod Have A Half-Sister?
In issue number 173 of the Harrodsburg Historical Society's Old Towne Ledger (July-August 2019), there was a retyped article from The Harrodsburg Herald, Friday, September 3, 1926, "Photo of James Harrod's Half-Sister". There was also a photo of Polly Brown, who was born in Fort Harrod June 17, 1783; it listed her parents as Samuel Brown and Susan Bacon Brown, and a half-sister of James Harrod. Pretty exciting, right?
For most people who only know the basic about James Harrod's history in Harrodsburg, they will automatically link Polly and James, which will lead to no further research on the matter. However, as a local historian, I have spent the last two years researching and reading articles, reports, books, diaries, anything with the smallest scrap of information about James Harrod. Here is my theory concerning this article.
James Harrod, the 1774 founder of Harrodsburg, did not have a half-sister. He did, however, have two older stepbrothers, Thomas and John Jr. Harrod. His father, John, came from England about 1734, probably in search of a better life for himself, wife Caroline Downey and two sons. It was a hard life and Harrod's father soon became a young widower, when Native Americans came, killed his wife Caroline, and burned their Pennsylvania home. Thankfully, the two young boys were rescued by neighbors.
John Harrod knew he needed to find a new wife to care for his sons, so when he moved to the Shenandoah Valley, he soon married Sarah Moore, daughter of James Moore and Frances Gay. The couple went on to have four sons - Samuel, William, James, and Levi – and six daughters – Nellie, Rachel, Mary, Sallie, Elizabeth, and Jemima.
One source states James was twelve years old when his father died in 1754, but others state he was not quite ten years old. Considering the varying range of James Harrod's birthday, 1742 to 1746, it's hard to know exactly how old he really was when his father died, but we do know that his mother never remarried, and she never lived at Fort Harrod.
The only way James Harrod could have a half-sister is: 1.) if his father remarried and had more children, or 2.) if his mother remarried and had more children. Historians show us that Harrod's father and mother were still married until 1754, so this fact contradicts the first statement. Harrod's mother never remarried, she had no children out of wedlock, and her name was Sarah not Susan.
James Harrod only lived at Fort Harrod during the worst of the Native American attacks of 1776 through late 1778. By spring of 1779, Harrod had fortified his new Harrod Station at Boiling Springs in Danville, Kentucky. Though no exact description exists, it is said Harrod's Station was several cabins surrounded by a stockade. Also living at Harrod's Station during this time were Samuel and Margaret Coburn (Ann Harrod's parents) and her brother, James Coburns family; the families of Henry Prathers and Isaac Pritchards; Jacob Kelly and several of Harrod's nephews, one his namesake, James Harrod.
So far, I have not had luck in researching the nephew, James Harrod, or Polly Brown or Samuel Brown and Susan Bacon Brown. Realistically, it is possible for the nephew to have a half-sister, but I'm not able to verify this.
James Harrod's brother, William, had a son named James who died before 1814, but I can find no information on how old he was. This is probably the nephew James Harrod that lived at Boiling Springs. Harrod's older stepbrother, Thomas, had a son named James Harrod, who married a lady named Elizabeth Stewart. I have been unable to find any more information on these two people. Harrod's nephew, Levi Jr., also had a son named James Harrod, who was born September 3, 1808, which makes this James Harrod too young. Harrod's nephew William Jr., also had a son named James Harrod, but again, this Harrod is too young.
Susan Bacon was born when her mother, Mrs. Harrod Bacon, was 50 years old and was attended by her three half-sisters. The name of Samuel Brown appears in numerous militia lists, but I've been unable to find any personal information. Samuel Brown married Susan Bacon and they had several children, including a girl named Polly who was born in Harrodsburg on June 17, 1787. Polly married William Campbell, born August 1776 and died February 10, 1832.
Polly Brown Campbell moved to Switzerland, Indiana in 1813 and she died there on September 4, 1869. I have searched in all the available records I could access locally and, on the internet, but I will need to make a trip to the Switzerland County Historical Society to find more information on Polly. The back of the Polly Brown photo from the Harrodsburg Herald article states: "Polly Brown, born Fort Harrodsburg KY. June 17th, 1783. Lived there until 1787 married Wm. Campbell June 17, 1800. Parents were Samuel Brown and Susan Bacon Brown, she was a ½ sister of Jas. Harrod. They moved to Switz. Co. Ind. In 1813. Polly Campbell died 1869."
To summarize, Harrodsburg founder James Harrod did not have a half-sister. He did have two nephews named James Harrod, but the trail has gone cold on any personal information about them. I have listed above the little information I found on Samuel and Susan Bacon Brown. I will keep the Harrodsburg Historical Society updated on any new information I can uncover.

The Moral Limitations of the Rational-Monistic Model: A Revision of the Concept of Rationality and Rational Action
Galit Berenstok (Tel Aviv University, Israel) and Ishak Saporta (Tel Aviv University, Israel)
Source Title: International Business Ethics and Growth Opportunities
This chapter proposes a rational-pluralistic model for decision making in organizations. The authors developed this model as a potential solution to the negative moral implications (such as alienation from the workplace) that the formal rational decision making model has on organization employees. The negative moral implications are due to the fact that the formal rational model is monistic, limited by the considerations of the organization's utility, and neglects moral values and non-utility values that are related to the employee. The rational-pluralistic model is based on a revision of the concept of rationality and rational action. The basic assumption of this model is that there is a range of values other than the utility value that are involved in rational decision making. The more extended definition of rationality makes it possible to avoid a situation in which employees are only the means for organization goals, rather than ends in themselves.
René Descartes, in his book, Principles of philosophy (1644/1983), distinguishes between two aspects of the human psyche that are involved in decision making, the intellect and the will. The intellect processes the facts and the will is the value system of the decision maker. Strauss (1998) elaborated this distinction made by Descartes; explanations of this distinction will be provided later in the chapter. Building on the foundations laid by Descartes and Strauss, we developed a new model for decision making in organizations called the rational-pluralistic model. This model is based on a revision of the formal concept of rationality and rational action in management theory and practice. The strength of the rational-pluralistic model is that it offers a practical solution to the moral limitations that the conventional model of rational decision making imposes on the employees of an organization. In addition, preliminary research findings of this model (paper in progress) have also demonstrated that the rational-pluralistic model is a descriptive model of decision making. This is in contrast to the conventional rational decision-making model whose basic assumptions—according to the findings of many studies (e.g., Hastie, 2001; Kahneman, 2003)—do not conform with actual human behavior. This will be further elucidated in the Background, under the subheading, The Organization as a Rational Institution.
We begin with the assumption that the formal organizational model for decision making is the homo economicus model, based on L. J. Savage's subjective expected utility theory (1954). We will discuss the basic notion which underlies this model of decision making and will argue that it is a monistic model of values. In other words, decision making in the case of the homo economicus model is solely a cognitive process based on the intellect and, therefore, the only goal of decision making is to maximize the value of utility. In contrast, the basic supposition of the rational-pluralistic model (that we will develop later) is that the act of making a decision is a process that combines two stages, i.e., an understanding of the facts which is the role of the intellect, and a valuation of the facts which is the role of the will. According to the pluralistic model, these two stages in decision making—understanding and valuation—while interdependent remain mutually distinct.
Our main proposition is that neglecting the will factor in the decision making process (i.e., disregarding the non-utility values of human beings) makes it possible to relate to an organization worker simply as a person filling a role, in this case, as a means for promoting the organization's utility, and not as an end in itself. This perspective creates an inherent conflict of values between the utility value of the organization and the non-utility value of the employee. This conflict of values has negative moral implications for the employee, since he or she has to choose between fulfilling their role, i.e., advancing organizational utility, and realizing his or her own non-utility values as a human being.

The death of respected cycling broadcaster and former professional rider Paul Sherwen has been confirmed at the age of 62.
Born in Lancashire, Sherwen made his name during the 1980s, competing in seven Tour de Frances and twice becoming British national champion. He later moved into broadcasting and worked alongside commentator Phil Liggett for Channel 4's coverage of the Tour for several years before moving to NBC Sports in America. The 2018 Tour – which saw Geraint Thomas win his first title – was the 33rd Sherwen had commentated on.

Advertising Cartoon Of The Week : What Do Advertising, P.R. And Social Media All Have In Common?


In January 2017, the APA-medialab was created to improve the time to market of their products and to break down silos that existed within the news agency in terms of approaching topics of innovation. In the meantime, the Head of the lab left to start a company with his brother, and Clemens Prerovsky took over.
We have a lot of stuff going on right now. The thing we're currently working on is a really playful one. We often have to show something at events that we're attending. So we're working on an application that uses face detection and interprets your emotions using open source software. Based on that we automatically generate a social media message that you can then post.
So you can write a post with your face!
But it's not only fun. It also incorporates technologies that we might use in the future, like emotion detection, face detection, automated text generation and Artifical Intelligence. And that's where we're headed.
In May, we will have our first full-fledged machine-learning project, which I'm really excited about. We will categorise text and news, so customers can order all the news articles that are about them to be sent to them every day. Right now, somebody is reading through 300 articles every morning and we hope to automate that to some extent. I'm confident that we can do that with high precision. As a news agency, we have years and years of data that we can use to train a Neural Network to do that.
2. What changed since the lab was created in January 2017?
Something will probably change very soon, namely the way we set up the road map for the lab. So far, everybody could book their time with us and we try to balance all the requests and ideas from all parts of the company: from different departments, from the CEOs and some from the lab itself. We collect all of those requests and turn them into a road map. It's a rather complicated process and the proposals are too often focused on the now.
I would like to change that pretty drastically, so that the lab provides all of the topics for the future roadmap. Since we also have a research focus and want to look at the trends that will impact us until 2025. At the moment, this is missing a bit from our roadmap, except the AI stuff. And I would like to focus more on the future. Decide where the company wants to be in a few years and then work towards that.
3. What is your main lesson learned?
One thing we've learned is that participating in a Design Sprint during one week is perceived as a very high commitment. Which is understandable, because you're really taken off the job for one week. But no one seems to realise that it would have otherwise taken half a year to develop the same project.
The other thing is that the Google Design Sprint is focused on testing on Friday, but that's super hard to do in Austria. People usually try to get their stuff done on Friday morning, so they can leave early. Which means there is no room for testing with us.
That's why we changed up the sprint a bit. We spread it out, so the developers can continue coding on Friday and we do the user testing the following week. This works really well against the fear of high commitment and the developers have more time to do their work.
We also tried a very short sprint once, which lasted only 2,5 days. The owner was very happy witht he results, but I wasn't. I felt the ideas were too much aligned with each other, because we lacked this phase of creative input in the beginning. That just wasn't enough. We basically ended up with seven sketches of the same product.
4. What has been your 'best failure'?
A few months ago, we did a sprint on voice-enabled media with the aim to think of new ways to use voice in media. The only thing you can really do at the moment is ask Alexa for news updates. You get a news update that she reads out, and in the morning it's the same as in the evening. So we wanted to work try and come up with new ideas for voice-enabled media.
Everything was going really well; we aligned the sprint with the launch of Google home in Germany, so we had the Google device and we were prepared really well. But then it turned out that although Google home works in German, it doesn't have a German API. So we couldn't do anything with the device. It was totally pointless. Nobody could develop an app in German. So that was kind of a failure.
Alternatively we used Alexa, but Alexa has terrible voice capabilities. We were not impressed with that. So in the end we used the browser's capabilities for voice-recognition. Which are not as good, but they were there and they were free.
And we had so much fun! Although Alexa failed all the time, the cool thing is that the design sprint method allows you to accommodate to the situation, even when things go really wrong. We were not stuck to the Google device. We were able to work around it and still do the sprint.
5. What advice would you give to someone looking to start a media innovation lab?
Stick to the method and do it by the book, at least in the beginning. Things start to fall apart quickly enough, but what I see a lot of times is that people start changing up the method before they even tried to do it correctly once and see how it works.
That was one of the first things I wanted to try when I became head of the APA-medialab, to really do it by the book. We didn't use the map for example, because people didn't like it. But it actually brought some really nice insights.
Even though we changed the time frames, I don't like changing up those methods too much. The agile methods are so focused that taking something out means you'll miss an important part of the process. It's like driving a three-wheeled car.
What you could do is take parts of the method and use them in different contexts. Every piece is there to solve a specific problem, in a specific stage of generating ideas. And of course you can reuse them in other situations.
APA Editor-in-Chief Michael Lang will be at the World News Media Congress to talk about his experiences working with the Lab. Join us for the LabLunch on Friday 8 June.

François Barthélemy (seit 1808 Comte de, seit 1815 Marquis de) (* 20. Oktober 1747 in Aubagne; † 3. April 1830 in Paris) war ein französischer Diplomat und Politiker. Er war in der ersten Republik zeitweise Mitglied des Direktoriums. Später war er unter Napoleon Bonaparte Vizepräsident des Senates und unter Ludwig XVIII. Staatsminister und Mitglied der Kammer der Pairs.

Leben
François Barthélemy war ein Neffe des Autors und Archäologen Jean-Jacques Barthélemy, der auch zu seiner Erziehung beitrug. Durch diesen bekam er 1768 einen Posten im diplomatischen Dienst. Nach dem Beginn der französischen Revolution wurde er Geschäftsträger in London. Im Jahr 1791 übernahm er als bevollmächtigter Minister die Gesandtschaft in der Schweiz. Die antirevolutionäre Stimmung in Solothurn ließen ihn die dortige Gesandtschaft auflösen und nach Baden ausweichen. Trotz des Abbruchs der diplomatischen Beziehungen durch die Tagsatzung blieb er in der Schweiz. Er war daran beteiligt, dass der Nationalkonvent 1793 die Neutralität der Schweiz anerkannte. Durch ihn wurde die Annexion Genfs aufgeschoben. Auf der anderen Seite sorgte er für Proviantlieferungen aus der Schweiz für die französische Armee. Er war nun wieder offiziell in der Schweiz akkreditiert und 1795 am Abschluss des Friedens von Basel mit Preußen, Spanien und der Landgrafschaft Hessen-Kassel maßgeblich beteiligt. Ein Friedensschluss mit Großbritannien scheiterte jedoch.

Vom Rat der Alten wurde er nach den Wahlen vom 25. Februar 1797, die einen großen Erfolg der Royalisten ergaben, am 26. Mai 1797 in das Direktorium gewählt. Er stand ähnlich wie Lazare Carnot für einen gemäßigten Kurs mit gewissen monarchistischen Neigungen. Durch den Staatsstreich des 18. Fructidor V (4. September 1797), der von den republikanischen Kräften im Direktorium gegen die erstarkende Rechte angestrengt wurde, wurde er gestürzt. Er wurde verhaftet und nach Französisch-Guayana gebracht. Ihm gelang die Flucht in die Vereinigten Staaten und von dort aus nach Großbritannien.

Nach dem Staatsstreich des 18. Brumaire VIII (9. November 1799) berief ihn Napoleon nach Frankreich zurück. Dieser machte ihn 1800 zum Mitglied des Senats. Außerdem wurde er zum Kommandanten der Ehrenlegion ernannt. Barthélemy stand 1802 an der Spitze der Gesandtschaft des Senats, die Napoleon das Konsulat auf Lebenszeit antrug. Politisch spielte er aber kaum eine Rolle mehr. Als Kaiser ernannte Napoleon ihn 1808 zum Grafen.

Nach der Niederlage Napoleons in den Befreiungskriegen führte er als Vizepräsident des Senats im April 1814 den Vorsitz im Senat, der die Absetzung Napoleons beschloss. Nach der Restauration ernannte ihn Ludwig XVIII. zum Pair von Frankreich und Großoffizier der Ehrenlegion. Er gehörte dem Gremium an, das die Charte constitutionnelle ausarbeitete. Während der Herrschaft der hundert Tage entfernte ihn Napoleon von der Liste der Pairs. Nach der erneuten Restauration von 1815 wurde er zum Staatsminister ernannt und zum Marquis erhoben. Als Mitglied der Kammer der Pairs machte er sich 1819 unbeliebt, als er den Antrag stellte das Wahlrecht zu Gunsten der Ultraroyalisten zu beschränken. Daraufhin zog er sich ins Privatleben zurück.

Yes Men punk US Chamber of Commerce on climate change, sued
The comedy troupe/activists known as the Yes Men pranked the US Chamber of …
John Timmer - Nov 12, 2009 2:00 am UTC
In late October, a troupe of comedic pranksters called the Yes Men took on the United States Chamber of Commerce over its stance on climate change via a parody that was hard to distinguish from the real deal: a fake press conference, press releases, and a modified version of the Chamber's own website, hosted at a similar address. The Chamber responded by getting the Yes Men's ISP to pull the site, which drew the Electronic Frontier Foundation into the fight. Now, it looks like all these parties may be meeting in court, as the Chamber has filed a suit alleging that the parody crossed the line into fraud. We say "may" because the Chamber appears to be having a difficult time serving the pranksters.
The events started in April, when the Chamber triggered a series of events that could easily be considered self-parody. Its leadership filed a petition with the EPA, asking that the evidence for climate change be subjected to public hearings. After that petition was widely ignored, they upped the ante, calling for a modern equivalent of the Scopes Monkey Trial, which questioned the science behind evolution.
That got people's attention, but not necessarily in a good way: two major utilities and Apple quit the Chamber, saying that its contrarian stance didn't represent their interests. The Chamber then did an about-face, claiming it has favored legislation to cap greenhouse gasses and chastising the defectors for suggesting otherwise. It simply doesn't like the current bills being circulated.
That's where the Yes Men stepped in, claiming to be representatives of the Chamber, and doing an exaggerated version of its reversal via the fake press conference and a nearly identical website hosted at chamber-of-commerce.us. They went so far as to suggest "an immediate moratorium on lobbying and publicity work opposing climate legislation."
That prompted the Chamber to go on the offensive, getting the Yes Men's ISP to pull the plug on the faux website and filing a lawsuit against the people behind it. Or at least as many of them as it could identify.
Finding the Yes Men
The suit lists only four individuals and two companies, but 20 John and Jane Does, and goes into some detail about the Chamber's attempts to track them down. It turns out that the Yes Men go by a variety of aliases, distribute their work through a number of companies, and often cooperate with various other groups of agitators that are difficult to hunt down. The Chamber tried to locate BeyondTalk.net to figure out its role, but determined that "The contact person is listed as 'Harold Schweppes' located at '80 Inifinty Place, Son of Triumph, Pennsylvania'"—both of these are apparently fictitious.
The domain registration for the parody website listed its contact as hschweppes1957@gmail.com, and pointed to another fictitious address. They also called the number on the press releases at the website, and wound up with a voicemail message that told them, "You've reached Erica Avidus at the Chamber. Please leave a message."
In any case, those served with the suit find themselves of accused of various violations related to the use of Chamber logos at the press release and on the parody site. These include things like fraudulent misrepresentation, unfair competition, and tarnishment. Also alleged are injurious falsehoods and cybersquatting as defined by the Consumer Protection Act; it's all wrapped up neatly by a charge of civil conspiracy.
According to the Chamber, this wasn't parody; it was publicity. The Yes Men support their activities through books and movies, and a new one called "The Yes Men Fix the World" was apparently opening nationally about that time. According to the Chamber, the high-profile hoax was simply a means of drumming up interest in the movie.
(Blurring lines even further, the Chamber itself have attempted to use the incident in a fundraising campaign that included Google Ads and an e-mail blitz.)
The Chamber is seeking permanent injunctions that would keep the Yes Men from using just about anything related to the group again, including video of the fake press conference. Although the suit repeatedly claims that it has "no adequate remedy at law," the Chamber would apparently be content with any profits, attorneys fees, and trebled damages, as determined by the court.
The EFF, having worked with the Yes Men to keep their fake site accessible, has announced that it will continue with what it terms a "free speech fight." To defend against the lawsuit, it will be joined by Davis Wright Tremaine, a large international law firm with a history of pro bono work.
Meanwhile, the website at the center of it all now contains the Yes Men's version of the events, featuring quotes from their fictitious Chamber spokesman, Hingo Sembra.

Q: Why is cross-domain scripting possible for local files on a mobile device? What I did:
I created a index.html with a xss.js, which calls the jQuery.get() function. Then I've opened the index.html in a browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE and Opera) and tried to trigger the ajax request.
The Code
Here is my index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <title>XSS</title>
        <script src="libs/js/jquery-1.7.2.js" ></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <button id="request" >fire</button>
        <script src="libs/js/xss.js" ></script>
    </body>
</html>

and my xss.js:
function init()
{
    $('#request').click(loadContent);
}

function loadContent()
{
    $.get('http://www.example.com/', null, function(data){
        alert('success');
        $('body').html(data);
    }, 'html');

}

init();

If I open the index.html within a browser (file:///C:/workspace/xss%20test/index.html), I get the following responses after clicking the button:

*

*Firefox: no error code (HTTP/1.1 200 OK), but the answer is empty

*IE: no answer

*Chrome:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.example.com/. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

*Opera: no error code (HTTP/1.1 200 OK) and the complete html file as answer, but nothing will be displayed (the success callback is not being triggered)
This code will load the index.html into my Android WebView:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

        webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
        webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

        webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
    }
}

calls the success callback and also displays the content of www.example.com in the body of my index.html file, after the button is triggered.
(The same is possible on iPhone devices - I haven't tested this on Windows Phone devices).
tl;dr - The Question:
Why is it possible to load content from a remote server to my mobile device - isn't this a case of cross-domain scripting or am I missing something?

Due to browser security restrictions, most "Ajax" requests are subject to the same origin policy; the request can not successfully retrieve data from a different domain, subdomain, or protocol.

Also: Why does Opera receive an answer but does not display anything?
Thanks in advance.

A: Actually, your code fails on mobile browsers including ICS and Chrome on Android as well as Safari on iPhone. However, what you have shown is not loading the html file in a browser - it is loading it into a WebView - a different animal altogether.
A WebView or Webkit is just a UI widget that implements browser-like functionality. They are not browsers. They do not provide stuff like the usual browser chrome and they have very liberal security models by default compared to browsers. Though, you can add code to implement things like same-origin-policy etc. if you want.
It's not only on mobile devices. Try creating a Webkit app on the desktop and you'll see the same thing.
I believe the reason for this is that WebViews and Webkits are assumed to be used to display content that you control 100%. Unlike browsers where users can enter any URL in the address bar. Therefore it's up to you to vet weather the things you're loading are safe or not.

The thing is I havent written any code because I still need to plan it properly and that is the problem I am having. Write out the project description and tell us, step by step, what you think you will need to do for each part. There are 2 packing machines, which can pack any type of food, however this needs to be done one at a time. Each food type takes 10 secs to pack. The packing machines get the food from the processing machines, there are 3 processing machines.
The food is stored in queues, the one with the shortest queue, the packing machine will get a food from that queue. I have thought about it, I need to add 2 queues to the packing machines because it has to store the food, do I need a queue or is an ArrayList fine?
The thing I dont understand is, how am I going to add the 10 seconds timer 10secs to pack a food. Also how is it going to find which has the shortest queue? One it is added, then somehow it will tell the packing machine and the processing machine queue will go down by1.

After about 5 months of not putting out any con coverages, Dustin thought we can just double up and OD our listeners with two major cons in one episode with Animazement and Anime Weekend Atlanta.
(0:00 – 2:16:45) Animazement 2017 Review – Do people other than this podcast talk about cons 5 months after they happen? Well who knows, but it's coming out now finally! Of course, this doesn't go into Animazement immediately, not when Jonn had something to say about not going to see the failed assassination of Jason David Frank at Phoenix Comic Con. Jonn also talks about the dumb weapons policies to "protect" attendees that are not JDF and Robotech. It's still about roughly 30 or so minutes in that Dustin talks about his con experience at Animazement. Included in this review is stories of the inside world of Limited Run Games, seeing your old teenhood house for the first time in years, how Strafe is inferior to Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, nerds who fail at hitting on girls, Justin Roland stories, people who bring their cats to cons, Antifa v. Street Preachers, not seeing this years Anime Hell, the History of Animazement, meeting forum members IRL, closing remarks of Timbox/Chris Chan and much more.
(2:16:45 – 4:49:07) AWA 2017 Review – Here's a con that happened within a month that we can get a decent review out in time. This was Dustin first time going to AWA, and based on his 2 day experience, it's a con worth going back too. This of course comes with meeting anime fan legends like Dave Merrill, Daryl Surat, Walter Amos, Neil Nadelman, and meeting new fans while there as well. This is also another instance where rooming with another forum member makes the con a better experience, and even doing a podcast drunk with them is also fun. Included is how Hell is done at AWA, old school anime dubs, buying up anime vinyl records and playing them on this recording, and more. Closing Remarks are about how the podcast is trying to monitize, the Las Vegas shooting/gun control laws discussion (there's a part I meant to say was an amendment but said constitution by mistake. So if you caught that, my bad), Chris Chan relationship ends (before it ever got started), Jonn squeaky chair chimes in, Final Fantasy games, Dustin owning an SNES Classic and much more!

A few MathOverflow threads I bookmarked in 2010 for various reasons.
Unknown result (at least to me) : Irreducibility of polynomials in two variables. Graham Leuschke's "all-time leading candidate for Most Preposterous Theorem Ever", proved using the classification of the finite simple groups.
Great list : The Frobenius morphism. David Ben-Zvi's "outdated collection of intuitive ways to think about raising to the p-th power".
Langlands for dummies : What is the L-function version of quadratic reciprocity?. Sometimes working through the easiest non-trivial example gives more insight than several survey papers.

The holidays are officially upon us, and no city does Christmas cheer quite like Cleveland. Whether it's going riding the Polar Express in Cuyahoga Falls or visiting the "Christmas Story" house, there's a lot of winter-time activities to do around these neck of the woods.
A more unconventional way to spend winter: go on a train ride!
Not only is Christmas the perfect holiday to spend time with family, it's also the perfect excuse to go shopping! Luckily for us, Ohio has the perfect mix of independent businesses and chains, so you'll be able to find the perfect gift for everyone!
If you're from Ohio, one thing is certain: you watch "A Christmas Story" every year, and if you don't, are you really from Ohio?!
So, why not take a trip downtown and check out the infamous house?!
Now back for this year, the Cleveland Botanical Gardens' has brought back their "winter spectacular" event called GLOW!
If there's one thing Clevelanders does best, it's sports, so why not spend the holiday season watching the Cleveland Monsters?
Because why go out when you can stay inside and watch one of those classic stop motion films?
If you're wanting to find something that isn't the norm, why not go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra as they bring their Ghosts Of Christmas Eve event to Quicken Loans Arena on Dec. 30. For further information, and to get your tickets, you can go here!
Much like number six, who on earth would you want to go outside when you can just stay inside and enjoy the warmth? An even better thing to do is bake some christmas cookies!
Ohio has some interesting sights when they want to, and there's quite a few places that go all out when it comes to the holidays. If you want to see where the nearest Christmas lights displays are, you can do so by going here!
What better way of spending a night than going to a full evening show with a bunch of amazing bands? Hot Mulligan and Knocked Loose on the same bill? Uh sign us up immediately! The show is Dec. 21 and you can get your tickets here!
What are you most excited to do this month?!

Home Sections Entertainment Is there going to be an 'Ally McBeal' reboot?
Is there going to be an 'Ally McBeal' reboot?
Question: Will there be an Ally McBeal remake? We recently watched the original full series (though they would have done well to stop before the final season) and we were taken by how forward-thinking the show was, way ahead of its time. We could use this type of magical realism mixed with a romance backdrop, filled with quirky, imperfect characters. More please! —Marco G.
Matt Roush: There was a report to this effect back in March, but spring and summer and now fall have come and gone since then with no news or updates, so I'm assuming it's either stuck in development hell for the time being or that wiser minds have prevailed. I would counter that Ally McBeal was very much a show of its time, and while many of its issues would still be relevant, this seems trickier than most to try to recapture that special lightning in a bottle. If this were to be a reimagined remake with a new cast (like ABC's The Wonder Years), that could be interesting. But it's hard for me to envision the original players hitting those same neurotic beats without being even more annoying and indulgent than the series sometimes felt the first time around. Still, reviving so-called "intellectual property" is the trend of the moment, so anything could happen. And since Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist went away, I've been pining for some musically driven whimsy.

Have you been bitten by a dog? You may have legal rights to recover damages from the dog's owner or another responsible party. You have medical bills and missed work, and may need help with household tasks. The lingering affects of a dog attack can cause not only physical scars but emotional stress. You can suffer from complications long after the injury occurs.
Seek medical attention immediately. If you delay treatment or are not treated, you risk serious injury, infection, and death if the dog is disease infected. After you have been medically evaluated and treated for your injuries, consult a dog bite injury attorney. This attorney has extensive experience in dog bite cases and will determine if you have a legal claim. Be prepared to provide detailed information about the incident, including the name and contact information of the dog's owner. If this information is not available, ask neighbors or other witnesses.
First, determine who the owner of the dog is. In some states, the owner is liable for a bite, even if the owner tried to prevent it and didn't know the dog had any violent tendencies. In other states, the owner can be held liable if the owner knew the dog has violent tendencies. This can be hard to prove, and that's why it is important to consult a dog bite injury attorney to get rightfully compensated for any damages. A dog bite injury attorney knows the laws specific to your state and can help get you the compensation you deserve.
The dog owner is not the only one that can be held responsible for the dog bite. Animal keepers, property owners, and landlords can all be held responsible for if the dog was in their custody at the time of the bite or if they knowingly allowed a dangerous animal to stay on their property.
A dog bite injury attorney is trained in personal injury claims, and building a case may take the help of other experts trained in the field. Medical specialists can provide the full extent of medical financial expenses you will have, helping to ensure fair compensation for your injuries.
The insurance company or dog owner will try and negotiate a settlement quickly, and insurance companies often pay less to those not represented by an attorney. Many victims get compensated very little or nothing at all.
Many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is not fee unless you win your case. You have the right to be compensated fairly for your injuries, contact a dog bite injury attorney today.


Mathematicians, physicists, punsters and even construction workers may pause in their labours on March 14 to celebrate Pi Day in honour of a quirky little number whose significance is felt from the job site to particle physics.
"You need pi for anything to do with circles," said Raj Srinivasan, head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. "It also has a big role in trigonometry, angles and those sorts of things, and of course it definitely comes into geometry."
Srinivasan said this year's date is the ultimate Pi Day, which is celebrated on 3.14, the 14th day of the third month. But since this year is 2015, the date can be expressed as 3.14.15. Then add in the time—precisely 53 seconds after 9:26 am is 3.14.15.9.26.53, the first 10 digits of pi. It is a once-in-a-century event.
Srinivasan said that at one time, he was able to leverage the day with the local Bay store to get free promotional pi-themed mugs, t-shirts and even samples of Givenchy's "π—the sign of intelligence" cologne. These would be given out around the department.
The concept of pi is simple: measure the distance around a circle to get its circumference. Measure the distance across the circle to get its diameter. Divide the first number by the second, and that is pi. Srinivasan explained that pi has been known since at least the ancient civilizations of Babylonia and Egypt. For centuries, it was approximated as somewhere between 3.12 and 3.16. It was not until the 14th century that mathematicians discovered more precise ways to determine the value of pi, which is actually closer to 3.14.
Workers laying a circular patio will use pi to calculate how many bricks they need, or how much concrete to use for a cylindrical piling under the foundation of a building. It is also used to explore the foundations of the universe.
"Pi shows up all the time in physics, and in my area of theoretical particle physics there are factors of pi in almost every calculation," said Tom Steele, head of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics.
Steele said he and his colleagues "usually talk up Pi Day at the very least," decorate office doors, or engage in a little informal competition to see who can remember the most digits of pi. And physicists have a mnemonic to get them through the first 15 digits (3.14159265358979).
He explained: "The number of letters in each word represents the digit. Here it is: 'How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics.'"
Pi's name also lends it to puns. For instance, π r2—the formula for calculating the area of a circle—is pronounced "pie are squared," to which the punster responds, "pie are not square, they are round."


This graceful statue of a goddess has intrigued and fascinated since its discovery on the island of Melos in 1820. Is it Aphrodite, who was often portrayed half-naked, or the sea goddess Amphitrite, who was venerated on Milo? The statue reflects sculptural research during the late Hellenistic Period: classical in essence, with innovatory features such as the spiral composition, the positioning in space, and the fall of the drapery over the hips.
The Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820 on the island of Melos (Milo in modern Greek) in the south-western Cyclades. The Marquis de Rivière presented it to Louis XVIII, who donated it to the Louvre the following year. The statue won instant and lasting fame. Essentially two blocks of marble, it is comprised of several parts which were sculpted separately (bust, legs, left arm and foot) then fixed with vertical pegs, a technique which was fairly common in the Greek world (especially in the Cyclades, where this work was produced around 100 BC). The goddess originally wore metal jewelry — bracelet, earrings, and headband — of which only the fixation holes remain. The marble may have been embellished with (now faded) polychromy. The arms were never found.
The goddess is shrouded in mystery, her attitude a persistent enigma. The missing pieces of marble and absence of attributes made the restoration and identification of the statue difficult. A whole range of positions have been suggested: leaning against a pillar, resting her elbow on Ares' shoulder, or holding a variety of attributes. According to whether she held a bow or an amphora, she was Artemis or a Danaid. She is popularly thought to represent Aphrodite, because of her half-nakedness and her sensual, feminine curves. She may have held an apple — an allusion to the Judgement of Paris — a crown, a shield, or a mirror in which she admired her reflection. However she might also be the sea goddess Amphitrite, who was venerated on the island of Milo.


It was in 1915 that P. E. B. Jourdain translated and so popularized Georg Cantor's work with transfinite cardinal numbers (such as aleph-null and aleph-one) and only in 1963 when B. S. Johnson defined the square root of aleph-one. In 1972 when John Horton Conway defined surreal numbers (see Mpossibilities 31:4), using the me mathematics changed. Many undefined terms suddenly were definable. The number of kinds of infinities increased more than infinitely.
we are alas negligibly closer to ultimate infinity, the Most High W.

PEISY TING'S FIRST SOLO SHOW 'TRANSCENDENCE' COMES TO ZHAN ART | SPACE THIS 3 AUGUST
Peisy Ting's first solo show, Transcendence – A Visual Exploration of Self, explores the boundaries of introspection, reflection, and emotion in its purest abstraction, providing viewers with a multi-layered visual odyssey by wielding bold colours and composition enabling a visceral sensory experience encompassing joy and sorrow; strength and vulnerability; conflict and peace.
Showing at ZHAN Art | Space from August 3 to September 27, Transcendence is inspired by the dramatic events of recent months spared no one the silent foe determined to wreak havoc in our lives. Isolation became the norm, while uncertainty produced fear and anxiety. The new reality shifted the previous normalcy and complacency we were so accustomed to such that we questioned the state of our minds.
Peisy's approach to every empty canvas is within the realm of endless possibilities longing to escape her inner-self, taking her on another aesthetic adventure to the unknown. A mission to render the invisible visible that may pierce the viewer's subconscious to challenge their emotions and question what they see, leading them to see beyond the artwork itself and the one who created it. 'To see through it is to transcend it,' not only aptly applies to my art, but life itself.
After more than a decade as an Art Director, Peisy Ting sought to break free from the excessive hours and stressful advertising lifestyle to pursue an artistic path. After much trepidation, in 2015, she took a heartfelt leap to establish herself as an artist.
Graduating with a BA (Hons) in Visual Communications from Birmingham City University (BCU), UK, Peisy did not receive any formal training in fine art but has always possessed the raw passion for colours, forms, and beauty. Her evocative paintings explore the boundaries of thought and emotion in its purest abstraction, providing viewers with a multi-layered visual experience, establishing a connection on both emotional and intellectual plain which serves as a guide as to who she is.
Peisy's art has been displayed in shows in London and Bangkok as she continues to explore and develop, seeking to give a voice to the panoply of human experience and emotions.

Few players have received as many accolades as Johnathan Thurston, but the retiring superstar is leaving his legendary 17-year career and final North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Annual Presentation Ball with another award.
In his 14th and final season as a Cowboy, Thurston has been named Club Person of the Year for the second time in his career, following on from his 2014 gong.
The most-capped Cowboy has always been a dedicated club man, something that was as evident as ever during his final season.
For the first time in his illustrious career, Thurston played every minute of every game during the 2018 season – a testament to his passion for the Cowboys jersey.
JT also led the NRL in both try assists (22) and line-break assists (24) this season and finished sixth on the point-scoring leaderboard (166).
His passion on the field was unrivalled, as was his contribution to the club as an off-field ambassador through various community and Indigenous programs.

Processional Takes Marion Barry to Ward 8 One More Time
by Will Sommer December 5th, 2014 September 20th, 2020
As it passed by FBI headquarters and the federal courthouse, the motorcade escorting Marion Barry's casket this morning saw only a few dozen onlookers with smartphones out. But then, Barry never got much love at those places even when he was alive.
The real action for the Barry processional came, as expected, in the ward he represented for 12 years on the D.C. Council. As the motorcade passed by Anacostia's Big Chair, the crowds grew thick enough that Barry's wife Cora Masters Barry and son Christopher Barry walked alongside the hearse to greet mourners. The younger Barry shook so many hands that he ended up running to catch up with the casket. (Heads up, would-be Ward 8 contenders.)
Well-wishers carried printed signs that declared that Barry was "always fighting for the people."
"He's dead and he's still doing good for us!" shouted one man.
The motorcade route was a humbler version of the original plan to visit each ward in the District, but it still managed to pass major landmarks in Barry's life: his previous homes in the ward, his constituent service office, the Player's Lounge bar where he made many appearances. Outside her Southeast Tennis and Learning Center, Masters and Christopher Barry stopped and stood in front of light-up display showing Barry's name.
The processional was light on surprises until the end, when the motorcade detoured into United Medical Center, the hospital where Barry was pronounced dead almost two weeks ago. At the hospital, his casket was transferred into a caisson drawn by two horses and taken the rest of the way down Southern Avenue SE to the Temple of Praise church.
There, Barry's body was met with dancing and a brass band.
A "community service" for Barry starts tonight at Temple of Praise (700 Southern Ave. SE) at 7 p.m. On Saturday, Barry will be available for public viewing from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., followed by a final memorial service from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

I got to do something fun this week - something I generally don't take the time to do, but I think I should more often. I learned a new craft from someone, in person, at a class at My Quilting Loft! I usually teach there, so it was pretty thrilling to get to be a student for a change.
I've done applique and embroidery, but it's a little different with wool. The edges don't really fray much, so you leave them raw, which is something I've only tried with felt. It's kind of life changing.
It was also fun for me to get to interact with other people as a fellow student. Debbie was a great teacher, and I also learned a few tips from others sitting near me who already had some experience with the technique.
We started from scratch in the class, which I loved. Having never done it before it was nice to walk through everything.
That meant I didn't quite finish before it was time to go, but I was able to get it done that evening and the next day (since I couldn't put it down!). I was tempted to sew the binding down with my sewing machine, but I kinda love that this whole project is hand sewn.
I won't say I'm entirely happy with my stitches, and I was tempted to take some of them out and redo it, but for a first try I feel okay about it. I do like it enough that I'm going to display it in my house!
I have to share a funny story with you. I didn't realize until the day after the class that I already owned one of Debbie's patterns. I bought this when I was in the Bend area for the Sister's Quilt Show.
When I bought it, my husband and I had a whole discussion about the fact that one of the cars is a UPS truck. We thought it was nice it had been included.
When Debbie and I were talking yesterday, she shared the fact that her husband recently retired from UPS. Now I understand the pattern. But the funny part: Debbie's husband was MY UPS driver!!!
I knew when I came home from class that I wanted to try another wool applique project, now I know exactly what it will be!
