"These fantastic results showcase the increasing relevance of good design that matters. We will always support designs that make a positive impact on people's daily lives."
KRONBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BraunPrize 2018 marked 50 years since the inaugural competition in 1968, as 10 finalists presented their design concepts on Wednesday, September 12 before a live Jury that included legendary industrial designer and former Braun Design Director, Dieter Rams. Held at Braun's Innovation Centre in Kronberg, Germany, the 20th edition of BraunPrize was a culmination of a yearlong entry and judging process, awarding $75,000 worth of prizes for work that expresses creativity and exceptional design.
This year's theme challenged creative minds to develop designs that really matter — those that innovate, provide solutions and improve life experiences. BraunPrize, the longest running international prize for product design concepts, received more submissions than ever before this year with 3,087 entries coming from 107 countries.
Established in 1968 by Erwin Braun, BraunPrize remains committed to supporting up-and-coming designers devoted to improving the world through their creativity and craft.
"We have seen record participation for BraunPrize 2018," said BraunPrize Chairman and Braun Design Director, Oliver Grabes. "These fantastic results showcase the increasing relevance of good design that matters. We will always support designs that make a positive impact on people's daily lives."
BraunPrize 2018: The Journey So Far
BraunPrize 2018 presented 10 Awards across two categories – Students and Young Talent. An international jury of top design and technology experts came together in June to evaluate all the entries and narrow the field down to 10 finalists who were chosen to present their concepts at the Final Judging Forum on September 12, 2018. The jury also selected fifty additional projects as 'Special Mentions' to be recognized and displayed in the BraunPrize exhibition.
"The competition has attracted talent from all over the world," said Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, Designer, Consultant, IOT Expert and 2018 BraunPrize Jury Member. "We were able to honor such exceptional minds from all types of backgrounds and walks of life. It was beautiful to be able to celebrate applicants from different regions of the world with varying academic backgrounds."
"I was so impressed by the level of thought our applicants put into their ideas," said Stefan Schamberg, Director R&D for Braun Global, Managing Director of R&D for P&G and BraunPrize 2018 Jury Member. "We're so proud of them for demonstrating such social responsibility and addressing important real-life issues. Well done by all involved."
BraunPrize 2018: The Winners
At the Final Judging Forum, each finalist was invited to present their product design concepts to the BraunPrize 2018 Jury and a selected audience of over 100 guest jurors from companies, universities and media in the field of design and innovation. Live voting was then conducted for the Forum to select the final Gold, Silver, Bronze and Sustainability winners.
In the Student category, Finalists prioritized health and the environment. WIM was awarded the Gold Prize of $15,000. The Silver Prize of $10,000 went to Otto, and Pluvo was chosen as the Bronze Prize winner of $5,000.
The Winning Student Product Concepts:
Gold: WIM, by Thomas Helmer and Jenny Holmsten
Silver: Otto, by Gabriel Uggla, Selvi Ol-gac and Birnur Sahin
Bronze: Pluvo, by Lewis Hornby, Nicholas Hooton and Claudia Arnold
WIM, by Thomas Helmer and Jenny Holmsten, is a new type of interactive stroke therapy, designed to empower and support patients' recovery at home. Thanks to its tracking armband, WIM offers advanced personalized therapy. A shared application enables constant communication between the patient and therapist, helping make therapy fun and interesting for the patient throughout the lengthy period of home recovery.
Otto, by Gabriel Uggla, Selvi Ol-gac and Birnur Sahin, is designed to improve the daily management of asthma through streamlining the process of monitoring, logging and medicating into one seamless experience. Otto guides users through the process using lights and sounds to take measurements and adjust medicine dosage all through the same mouthpiece, as well as logging the data into the patient's digital journal.
Pluvo, by Lewis Hornby, Nicholas Hooton and Claudia Arnold, is a cost neutral solution to urban air pollution. The patent pending technology uses an enclosed mist of water droplets to remove dangerous pollutants from the air, and pays for itself by using this mist to create a stunning new holographic-like advertising medium.
In the Young Talent category, innovation in children's health and environmental improvements were at the forefront of the ideas from the Finalists chosen by the Jury.
The Winning Young Talent Product Concepts:
Gold: ASHA, by Peter Alwin
Silver: Colo, by Matus Chlpek
Bronze: INST.ant, by Andreas Munk
ASHA, by Peter Alwin, was honored with the Gold Prize of $15,000. ASHA is a device designed to monitor low birth weight in babies in rural India. This simple portable device measures the baby's weight and temperature using an in-built digital weighing scale powered by solar cells and a non-touch infrared thermometer to avoid cross contamination. The baby's growth progress can be closely monitored and ensures timely, local care in the child's crucial early weeks.
The Silver Prize of $10,000 was awarded to Colo, by Matus Chlpek. Colo is a new concept of sneakers designed to correct foot deformities and improve poor walking habits in children between three and 12 years old. The design consists of shoes, a smartphone app and custom 3D printed insoles. The sole is designed to passively track walking habits either visually or more precisely through the app. Colo is a playful solution for children with foot health issues, also serving as a reminder that everybody is different and diversity should be embraced.
Finally, INST.ant, by Andreas Munk was the Bronze Prize winner of $5,000. INST.ant is a trunk concept that turns every bicycle into a cargo bike to overcome the storage benefits offered by cars and encourage people to use bikes more often. The folding technique of the trailer is based on the telescope principle, and its very compact design means it is available at any time without disturbing cycling – allowing the transport of loads up to 50kg.
The Sustainability Category is a new addition to BraunPrize 2018, keeping Braun's philosophy of 'less is more' in mind, stressing that sustainability really matters in today's world.
In the Student Category, Ö was awarded the first prize of $5,000, and ACORN the second prize of $2,500.
Ö, by Constance Richard, is a sustainable humanitarian aid, designed to make contaminated water drinkable. It is an open source project for filtering unhealthy water, using low technologies in the form of a ceramic filer and a sand filter, which eliminates pathogens present in the water to give people the necessary conditions to regain their autonomy.
ACORN, by Liye Zhang, Xucheng Yan, Zihan Xie, Ximing Jiang and Jiaqing Zhang, is an urban greening landscape for desert cities. This fertilizer-compressed sheet can provide fertilizer to plants after ACORN has been planted in the sand and has a strong ability to absorb and retain water. ACORN not only reduces the cost of afforestation is desert areas, but also improves planting efficiency and beautification.
In the Young Talent category, FIYLTER was awarded the first prize of $5,000, and Wireframe the second prize of $2,500.
FIYLTER, by Simon Desnerck, is a DIY microplastics filter for washing machines designed to reduce the microplastic fibres that end up in the ocean through the washing of synthetic clothes. The FIYLTER solution is like a manual for a filter system that mixes and matches components that are cheap and accessible to most people, allowing people to adjust it to their own needs and requirements in order to get as many people as possible filtering their washing machine's waste water and reduce the 'plastic soup' of our oceans.
Wireframe, by Ben Körös, helps villagers in developing countries build and maintain affordable wind turbines in order to generate enough electricity and set up an essential communication network. This allows them to talk to each other via radio, warn the next village in case of emergency and share weather forecasts, as well as giving them light after sunset, allowing them to have more productive hours each day.
In a world full of clutter, complexities and concerns, the design principles at the heart of Braun – functionality, quality, simplicity and durability – are more important than ever. Through continuing to champion good design, and promoting the role of industrial design in overcoming the challenges modern life presents, Braun and the BraunPrize aim to give a platform to young talent to ensure the next generation of designers continue Braun's mission of creating design for what matters.

Politicians use Fox for visibility
AP-5-510
Three of the top five choices in the Southern Republican Leadership Conference's recent straw poll on favorite 2012 presidential candidates had more than one thing in common: They're all on the Fox News Channel payroll.
Sex, Lies and Oil Spills
RFK,Jr - 5-5-10
A common spin in the right wing coverage of BP's oil spill is a gleeful suggestion that the gulf blowout is Obama's Katrina.
In truth, culpability for the disaster can more accurately be laid at the Bush Administration's doorstep
Ex-FEMA chief: Obama using oil spill to his advantage
CNN-5-5-10
Former FEMA director Michael Brown is not backing off his charge that the Obama administration wants to use the Gulf Coast oil spill as a plot to put an end to offshore drilling.
FYI: That's Bill O'Reilly of Fox News in the top toon. Gee, in 1998 when Hillary Clinton said there was a vast right wing conspiracy, boy, was she right, but you can't call it a conspiracy anymore. It's now a vast right wing coup d'état.
Every asshole who ever chanted "Drill Baby Drill" should have to report to the Gulf coast for cleanup duty. - Bill Maher

The real hero in this story was the T-shirt vendor who told the policeman about the smoke coming from the S.U.V. in Times Square. And for some reason, New York Mayor Bloomberg took the policeman to dinner but not the T-shirt vendor. Hey, you see the T-shirt he's selling today? It says: "I saw the smoking S.U.V. first. All I got was this lousy T-shirt."- Jay Leno
Our Money Was Hacked
A website of the US Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was suspended Tuesday after it was hacked, a BEP spokeswoman said.
But don't you feel secure, ladies and gentlemen, knowing that the only thing standing between you and terrorism is a T-shirt vendor?- David Letterman

Well, here's something kind of embarrassing. The government has called off the Safety Awards for Excellence ceremony that was supposed to take place this week, in honor of outstanding safety and pollution prevention. And British Petroleum, the one that was responsible for the big oil spill in the Gulf, was one of the three finalists for the award. I believe the other two were China and the volcano in Iceland.- Jay Leno

The Rich Farmers Get Richer
Lawmakers crafting a sweeping farm bill in 2008 promised it would cut government payments to wealthy farmers. Two years later, little appears to have changed.
Data being made public Wednesday shows that the wealthiest farmers in the country are still receiving the bulk of government cash, despite claims from lawmakers that reforms in the bill would put more money in the hands of smaller farms.
Well, scientists are predicting that the oil from the BP spill will eventually reach the shores of Florida. So if you hated visiting your grandparents before, wait until you're hosing down their oily bodies after a long day at the beach.- Jimmy Fallon

According to prosecutors, the weapons are believed to belong to the Valencia gang, allies of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel, and most of the 31 pistols found in the raid had gold or silver-plated grips or glittered with diamonds. At the very least, there are two more guns off the streets.

Only thing women care about is height. I grew 2 inches at age 26 and it literally changed everything for me. Anyone looking for a life changing confidence boost definitely check out heightify.com. They sell subliminal tracks that increase height at any age, which I didnt even think was possible but it worked perfectly for me.

GAIGAI'S MEGA CRUISE EVENT POSTPONED TO 29 – 31 MAY 2020 IN VIEW OF COVID-19
GaiGai partners Zouk At Sea for singles' cruise event – summer edition happening on 29-31 May 2020
This is their second singles' cruise event with an expected turnout of 100 attendees
Event postponed from initial February dates to safeguard well-being of participants and facilitators
Local leading dating agency GaiGai has postponed its Valentine's Day Mega Event onboard Genting Dream Cruise to new dates in May 2020 (29 May to 31 May 2020), in view of COVID-19 outbreak in Asia. GaiGai at Sea on The WKND by Zouk at Sea: Valentine Edition was slated to sail-off on 14 February to 16 February 2020, with an expected turnout of 100 single attendees.
The 3D2N singles' event is held in collaboration with Zouk At Sea, and marks GaiGai's second time working with Zouk after their first edition in October 2019, where it was met with overwhelming response, with slots being snapped up within one week. The event was also a resounding success, with highly positive feedback from participants and a successful match rate of 30%.
Mr Alex Tam, Head of GaiGai said: "The well-being of our participants and facilitators are at the top of our concerns when the COVID-19 situation was rapidly developing in January 2020. GaiGai immediately worked with Zouk At Sea and Genting Dream Cruises on precautionary measures and also provided timely updates to our participants. Our priority is to safeguard the interests of our participants – both in terms of the booked cabins as well as their safety. Even though the cruise event has been postponed, we will continue to monitor the situation closely. Our GaiGai team is still highly excited and driven to deliver the GaiGai experience during this romantic 3D2N getaway."
Mr Jason Kong, General Manager of Zouk At Sea said: "We are excited that GaiGai has chosen to work with us again for their second edition of GaiGai At Sea as we share a common vision in providing opportunities to bond and to create real social connections. Hosted as part of Zouk At Sea's The WKND travel lifestyle experience, we look forward to collaborating closely with GaiGai to foster connections among like-minded individuals and to be a bridge to connect millennials across different cultures and lifestyles."
GaiGai at Sea: Valentine Edition has been postponed to GaiGai at Sea: Summer Edition, happening from 29 May to 31 May 2020. The mega event will happen onboard Genting Dream Cruise, Asia's first luxury cruise line. Participants will be treated to an attractive fare with a fun-filled curated itinerary, which includes meals in fine-dining establishments, games and challenges in Zouk Club, interest-based activities with guaranteed rotations, a romantic-themed gala night, and the famous Foam Party at outdoor club Zouk Beach Club. Fleek, GaiGai's coaching arm, will also come on board to provide enriching talks to participants.
This event is supported by Spark Connections, a bi-annual signature initiative by Social Development Network (SDN), for eligible individuals to expand their social network and make new friends while pursuing their hobbies and interests. Spark Connections 2020 will happen from 14 February till 29 March 2020. By signing up for Spark Connections at www.sdn.sg before 23 March 2020, singles will get to enjoy $100 worth of free credits to offset GaiGai at Sea: Summer Edition mega event!
Registration for the cruise event is still open. Check out more details, FAQ and register for GaiGai at Sea on The WKND by Zouk at Sea: Summer Edition HERE.

The kiddos were nuts today. A jumping on the table, climbing on shelves, level of nuts. We somehow made it through without any major incidents. This is partially due to the fact that we borrowed the Frozen soundtrack from another teacher and every time they got a little too nuts I threatened to turn it off. They're obsessed with that movie!
Buddy and I went for a nice walk after work and then I decided to try a couple of miles on the treadmill. While I'm not really sore, I'm definitely not ready to run yet. I did a mile and a half, very slowly, and I was feeling it. I stopped and did the 7 minute workout instead. I figured it was better than nothing.
I stopped at a shoe store on the way home to look for some new every day shoes. They didn't have anything I liked, but they had my favorite PureFlow 2s for $39.99, so I couldn't say no! This pair is actually going into the closet until I'm ready to retire my beloved purple ones (incidentally, the new ones are purple too). Not like the pink ones...which I wear all the time, and still put them back in their box when I'm done.
i'm not at all ready to run either. i actually can't believe how sore i am today. ugh.
thanks for the code for procompression! what a great deal!

The BA Theatre Arts Program at Cal Poly
...provides students with a foundation in the theory and practice of theatre, allowing them to participate in a comprehensive, hands-on training program that delivers a balanced and enriched knowledge of theatre arts: history, dramatic literature, playwriting, performing, production, directing, design, and administrative practices. Participation in mainstage productions, as actors and members of the artistic/production crew, is a key component of each student's education.
As a small program, the Theatre Arts B.A. allows for faculty to get to know students' abilities and needs as individuals; promoting the selection of special projects, electives, and interests that mesh with their career ambitions. The program is delivered within a Liberal Arts framework, intended to advance the value of collaboration at all levels of study; designed to not only produce theatre artists with strong written and verbal skills, but also globally-minded citizens, prepared to enter into a variety of fields. And, as Theatre majors, students participate as members of a community which promotes the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion — practicing and advocating openness, respect and fairness.
MAINSTAGE THEATRE PRODUCTIONS (1 each quarter)
The producing of plays is our artistic, academic, and civic responsibility; to present the reflection of experiences both lived and imagined — coming together and actively engaging in the idea that theatre is a story a community tells about itself... The Mainstage Theatre Productions of our department are committed to fostering artistic excellence; presenting to students, faculty, staff, and audience a laboratory for investigation and experimentation; providing opportunity and support for creative expression, intellectual development, and aesthetic appreciation. The productions showcase the capability of live theatre to explore important ideas of the past, present, and future; to portray the vastness of human emotions; and to promote the uniqueness and vitality of storytelling as a means of fostering a diverse and inclusive world. In its doing, our goals are to train artists, develop audience, and build community — promoting the collective nature of live performance and creating an outlet for cultural exposure. All the while, emphasizing that the theatre is a necessary place to dialogue about important issues happening within our world of yesterday… today … and tomorrow.

Artown Talks – Program Schedule and Artown brochure 2022
Wednesday, July 6 at 10:30am
A Collecting We Will Go: Dr. Wier's 1908 Southern Nevada Trip with Sherlyn Hayes-Zorn
Hear the story of founding Nevada Historical Society director, Dr. Wier's trip to Southern Nevada during July and August of 1908. Learn how Jeanne Elizabeth Wier travelled by train, wagon, and horse to document and preserve mining camps, towns, and early pioneer histories, records, and artifacts, including former Senator William Stewart's Law office materials in Bullfrog, Nevada.
Wednesday, July 6 at 1:00pm
Miss Wakayama, Peacemaker with Betsy Morse
Miss Wakayama, a gift to Nevada from the people of Japan, is both a beautiful work of art and an unlikely peacemaker. She was part of an innovative attempt to reduce international tensions by exchanging dolls. Hear about the success of that effort, the changes in her fortunes during the Second World War, and the mystery of the doll's identity.
Wednesday, July 13 at 10:30am
Bill Fong's New China Club with Sarah Patton
When Bill Fong opened the New China Club in Reno in 1952, it was one of the only casinos in town where African Americans and Asian Americans were welcome. In addition to offering the first legal fan-tan and pai-gow games in Nevada, Fong and the New China Club sponsored the Keno Queen beauty contest and the Fong Open golfing tournament. Come see photographs from each of these events and learn more about this ahead-of-its-time establishment through exploration of material from the Nevada Historical Society library, manuscript collections, photographs, artifacts, and research resources.
Wednesday, July 13 at 1:00pm
Wahmonie: Nevada's Last Bonanza Discovery- or the First? with Joe Tingley
Stan Paher, in his classic book "Nevada Ghost Towns and Mining Camps," described Wahmonie as Nevada's "last flamboyant mining rush." The 1928 rush to Wahmonie was by automobile, not burro, and only spawned a tent city which had largely evaporated by 1930. If discoveries by Mormons in 1853 (or maybe 1847) at the old Horn Silver Mine could be verified, the first mining at Wahmonie would predate the 1859 discovery of the Comstock by at least four years.
Wednesday, July 20 at 10:30am and 1:00pm
The Winters Family of California and Nevada with Lorraine Petersen
Meet the Winters of California and Nevada – A family that improved the land wherever they settled. Winters, California, is named for this family. Nevada was not the land of promise when families left their birth states and countries in "Search of the Elephant." The pioneers headed their wagons toward California and the Oregon Territory. Eventually, some families backtracked and made Nevada their state. The Winters settled in Utah Territory before Nevada became a Territory. They helped develop the Nevada State Constitution and have helped govern and guide the state for generations. They started professional horse racing in the West. They were instrumental in giving us Nevada Day. Come and learn about the Winters of California and Nevada, a family that helped develop the West.
Wednesday July 27 at 10:30am
Tsars, Tea, and Volunteerism: The Nevada Historical Society's Docent Council with Catherine Magee
Discover how a Russian Tzars' tea set ends up in Nevada to play a role in the origins of the Nevada Historical Society's Docent Council. In this talk we take a journey with Russian Diplomats to Comstock Barons to Divorce Ranch Owners to Reno volunteers. We will explore this and more to learn how this 40-year-old organization has helped our local and state-wide community through free educational outreach programs. Come be inspired by what our Docent Council could do in the next 40 years.
If Streets Could Talk with Susan Moore-Fry
Imagine viewing from the level of a drone the city streets and as you pass over a short film of the namesake's history is played. What would you hear? Who was once engaged to Vanderbilt's daughter? Who was a cowboy gambler from Arkansas? Who was an early mountain man? Who was Governor when gambling was legalized in 1931? Was it Whittaker? Or Ralston? Could it be Beckwourth? Come hear the answer to these questions and more.

In addition to offering the first legal fan-tan and pai-gow games in Nevada, Fong and the New China Club sponsored the Keno Queen beauty contest and the Fong Open golfing tournament. Come see photographs from each of these events and learn more about this ahead-of-its-time establishment through exploration of material from the Nevada Historical Society library, manuscript collections, photographs, artifacts, and research resources. Wednesday, July 13 at 1:00pm Wahmonie: Nevada's Last Bonanza Discovery- or the First? with Joe Tingley Stan Paher, in his classic book "Nevada Ghost Towns and Mining Camps," described Wahmonie as Nevada's "last flamboyant mining rush." The 1928 rush to Wahmonie was by automobile, not burro, and only spawned a tent city which had largely evaporated by 1930. If discoveries by Mormons in 1853 (or maybe 1847) at the old Horn Silver Mine could be verified, the first mining at Wahmonie would predate the 1859 discovery of the Comstock by at least four years. Wednesday, July 20 at 10:30am and 1:00pm The Winters Family of California and Nevada with Lorraine Petersen Meet the Winters of California and Nevada - A family that improved the land wherever they settled. Winters, California, is named for this family. Nevada was not the land of promise when families left their birth states and countries in "Search of the Elephant." The pioneers headed their wagons toward California and the Oregon Territory. Eventually, some families backtracked and made Nevada their state. The Winters settled in Utah Territory before Nevada became a Territory. They helped develop the Nevada State Constitution and have helped govern and guide the state for generations. They started professional horse racing in the West. They were instrumental in giving us Nevada Day. Come and learn about the Winters of California and Nevada, a family that helped develop the West. Wednesday July 27 at 10:30am Tsars, Tea, and Volunteerism: The Nevada Historical Society's Docent Council with Catherine Magee Discover how a Russian Tzars' tea set ends up in Nevada to play a role in the origins of the Nevada Historical Society's Docent Council. In this talk we take a journey with Russian Diplomats to Comstock Barons to Divorce Ranch Owners to Reno volunteers. We will explore this and more to learn how this 40-year-old organization has helped our local and state-wide community through free educational outreach programs. Come be inspired by what our Docent Council could do in the next 40 years. Wednesday, July 27 at 1:00pm If Streets Could Talk with Susan Moore-Fry Imagine viewing from the level of a drone the city streets and as you pass over a short film of the namesake's history is played. What would you hear? Who was once engaged to Vanderbilt's daughter? Who was a cowboy gambler from Arkansas? Who was an early mountain man? Who was Governor when gambling was legalized in 1931? Was it Whittaker? Or Ralston? Could it be Beckwourth? Come hear the answer to these questions and more.Reno, NV

The Shape of Your Ph.D.
You've probably seen this graph. This is a popular graph known as the Gartner Hype Cycle: it is a graphical representation of the lifecycle of new technical innovations as they gets introduced into society.
It's a simple concept: new technologies, when first introduced, typically get a lot of visibility as people envision the exciting futures these new innovations entail.
As expectations rise and people start exploring how to use this new technology, however, people get disillusioned — the tech is new, unstable, and we probably haven't developed enough collective expertise to fully unlock its potential. So, expectations nosedive. Skeptics call it a sham, snake oil, a "winter". These dissenting opinions start taking over — subtly, at first, then more vocally. At this point you'll probably hear people making jokes about the innovations whenever they come up: "Gotta get some blockchain in there to really hit all the buzzwords." This is the trough of disillusionment, where the once promising new technology fades into obscurity in disgrace. For most.
Not for all, though. As the new tech recedes into the background, a few people maintain their belief. They get to work, chipping away at the kinks. And, slowly but steadily, the tech gets better. It starts to realize some of its potential. It's still raw. But the potential is there. You can almost touch it. This is the slope of enlightenment.
Then, one day, the right people knock heads and come up with a killer application that actually works. The tech is stable now, it's good, it can help with real problems. People can use it. It never quite elicits the same level of enthusiasm and intrigue in society as it originally generated, but it's useful and ubiquitous. This is the plateau of productivity. This is where this once-new tech starts to make material change in the lives and livelihoods of people.
There are a number of relevant case studies: blockchain, AI, virtual reality. I won't get into specific cases here.
I only bring it up now because this is also the shape of your Ph.D. Look at the modified version of the Gartner hype cycle below. This time, think of the thing traversing through time as being you, the graduate student.
Graduate students often start out with an intense excitement about the work they hope to do in pursuit of their Ph.D. After all, grad students are a self-selecting bunch: they go through 16+ years of schooling and decide, at the end of it, "hey, what's 5–7 more?" They almost have to be excited about the field that they're entering. This is probably your first year.
There are exceptions of course, but that ruins my narrative so I'm going to ignore them.
The thing is: good science is hard, even if you're brilliant. The enthusiasm you have in your first year will, inevitably, wane. You'll start realizing that many of the ideas that you're most excited about will either be: (i) done already; (ii) not really Research; or, (iii) impossible to do given the current state of our knowledge and tools. You will start experiencing some rejections — paper rejections, fellowship rejections. And, even when you start producing publishable work, it will probably take longer than you expect and the output will usually not look as good as you might have hoped. This is the trough of disillusionment. It could happen one semester in, or in your third year. Dread it. Run from it. The trough of disillusionment still arrives.
Why? Ira Glass, from This American Life, has a good observation about this:
"What nobody tells people who are beginners — and I really wish someone had told this to me . . . is that all of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, and it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not.
But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase. They quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this."
In other words, our expectations of ourselves is mismatched with our actual skill when we are beginners. It's not surprising. You can appreciate the finest food, the most beautiful music — but you wouldn't be able to produce those things yourself without years of practice. Science is no different. And, if we're really invested in our work, that gap can be unbearable. Hence, the trough of disillusionment.
But, just like the Gartner hype cycle, there is a next phase. This is where you, through force of will, embrace the uncertainty. You dig your heels in. You recede away into the background and you work. And you slog. And you start to get better. This, of course, is the slope of enlightenment. This is where you learn where you can plant your flag in the field of human knowledge. It may not be what you thought, or what you expected, but it's there and it's yours. Matt Might has a wonderful graphic illustrating this. I don't have his permission, so I won't share it here — but you should see it.
There is an alternative — you can decide it's not for you, and that's perfectly okay too. Academia is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. There are plenty of other career paths that are just as good.
But, if you do slog through this "messy middle", you will find your way to the coveted "plateau of productivity." Just like with the Gartner Hype Cycle, this is where people will start to notice who you are, what you've done. You'll feel good about your work. I cannot guarantee anything more. I can tell you, however, that if I had to place a bet on who would finish their Ph.D. between someone of exceptional intelligence and average grit versus someone with average intelligence and exceptional grit, I would pick the person with exceptional grit every time. Here's the rest of that Ira Glass quote:
"And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase [the trough], you gotta know it's normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work…
It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met. It's gonna take awhile. It's normal to take awhile. You've just gotta fight your way through."
And then? Maybe you get the job of your dreams and the cycle starts all over again!
Thanks for reading. If you read this and thought: "whoah, definitely want to be spammed by that guy", there are three ways to do it:
Follow me on Twitter (spam frequency: daily — weeklyish)
Subscribe to my YouTube channel (spam frequency: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Subscribe to my mailing list (spam frequency: In Practice? Once a year. In Theory? Once a month.)
You also don't have to do any of those things, and we will both be fine.

The last couple of years, hundreds of websites security, if not thousands of them, caused losses to a lot of organization, no matter if they were private or government. Large websites of ecommerce became victims of attacks as well; the malicious groups tried to steal financial data and information about customers; also, there were hackers who were just eager to own and sell private information and details of consumers or companies that will be of great interest for the public.
There exist so many potential problems as for security of ecommerce, which are real threats related to e-commerce today. There is a possibility for you to enhance your prevention opportunities – you have to keep the reputation of your brand pure; in order to do this, you have to understand threats related to e-commerce and be aware of the ways of avoiding those threats.
In what way the issues of security may influence the brand reputation? Or even damage it?
Most American people perfectly know that there are some possible risks that come together with purchasing online. Possible security problems, which pop up from time to time, must be appropriately dealt with, but it often happens that the extensive damage comes first.
If you have become a victim of safety incident, the image of your brand can be non-returnable. Reliable and trusted websites are in higher demand among majority of customers. And these customers will recommend only competitive websites to their relatives and friends.
As soon as the news about security threat of e commerce and insecurity and undependability of your website is spread to your customers, you are going to lose many clients. Social networking websites and PR outlets will be full of negative rumors and gossips about your company; that is the reason why your first task is to provide your clients with data protection, and to ensure it.
Very often, highly scalable hack attacks are targeted on ecommerce sites. Why? Because the entire volume of information is stored in the company's IT infrastructure data base, as well as on servers, and this information may potentially bring much money in dollars for the hackers.
The most frequently-named threats related to e-commerce security are click frauds and credit card fraud. Click fraud is the problem with which such companies like TEA Software can fight. Nobody is secured from fraudsters, whose target is to waste funds of contextual ad for "empty" clicks.
First, there goes malware infecting of computer systems. In such a way fraudsters get access to a big volume of information of different types: financial and personal. They can use this data to steal a huge amount of money.
Everything in this world is vulnerable and attackable. Therefore, it's essential to have a high-quality team of software developers, the main task for who is to monitor and make updates to prevent click fraud or avoid undesirable attempts to get access to the programs.
Is there anybody NOT having a mobile device nowadays? Of course, not. Due to the statistics, almost 25% of sales online were done from mobile devices. That is why security systems should be constantly updated and monitored.
Each day, lots of information, like applications or programs, is cloud-based. If the place of keeping is not secured appropriately, it may become easy for hackers to get access and steal vitally important data.
Such type of information like credit card details is accessible for several companies. But with time, as soon as businesses go to ecommerce, this information is an attractive target for fraudsters. So, it's very much crucial to manage this data on secured servers in order to provide appropriate protection. It won't be cheap for business owners, but if no proper protection, it will be much more expensive to recover after hacker attacks.
Security is the priority, and you should always remember that, especially when there is a threat to e commerce security. Let's consider some protection tips for your website, or for your company, or to protect information of your customers.
· Never trust all platforms – you should choose only reliable and trusted ones. The platform you use for e commerce must be secure.
· To prevent threats for e-commerce, use secure check. SSL certificates must comply with PCI, and meet all the up-to-date requirements. This will provide you with necessary protection of the personal clients' database, as well as financial information, when it goes through essential network channels.
· Security layers should be set up – a lot of ecommerce sites don't provide additional security levels. Use these multiple levels, add them to your website, and also include search queries, as well as login boxes and firewalls. All this together helps to keep all the information secure.
Security of brand and its trust always go together. And if customers don't trust your brand because of security violation, your business might go down and not recover.
To make your clients sure that everything is going on fine and all data is under a good protection, you should put SSL certificates next to the shopping cart on the checkout screen; also, the reminder notices should be placed everywhere on the website; they must make each customer aware about ways of protection they can be provided with when making purchases online. On top of that, using such technologies as Apple Pay, for instance, it became possible to use a trust halo.
It is obligatory to point out the protection that your customer is provided with. Lots of clients have issues with indefinite online statements, in particular on the IT subject.
If you website is not protected and there is a threat of e-commerce security, there is a possibility for you to lose the base of your customers, as well as a huge deal of money. Implementation of the security plan should be immediate to avoid attacks on your database and servers.

The distillation of this brandy was made by the distillation system created by Gioacchino Nannoni, master distiller founder of the company, and perfected over the years with his disciple Priscilla Occhipinti. All operations are controlled by the Master distiller Priscilla; for each cooking she makes personally the cutting of the heads and tails, leaving only the heart of the distillate.
The Nannoni distillery did not intentionally put the spirit to its aging for preserving all the flavours of the Colli di Luni wine.
Distillation steam distillation in selection within 24 hours after drawing; discontinous system with low-grade copper columns and indirect steam.
The distillation of this brandy was made by the distillation system created by Gioacchino Nannoni, master distiller founder of the company, and perfected over the years with his disciple Priscilla Occhipinti.
It is a discontinuous distillation process made by a column with low-grade copper and indirect steam, a method that requires the continuous presence of the Master distiller during the operations and allows the respect of raw materials, not proceeding to an hard rectification but leaving all its merits to the distillate, which is possible only for those who work only excellent raw materials.

Rent horses. Complete your celebration.
Teresa is a certified riding instructor of 20 years with horse training and riding experience in various disciplines since graduating Wilson College with a degree in Veterinary Medical Technology in 2000. Her current herd consists of mostly original rescue horses and ponies who were rehabilitated and retrained gradually and positively for their current careers, most of which have lasted so far for over 10 years with her. They have serviced various events of all kinds for groups of all cultures and traditions.
None of her horses bear significant amounts of weight for more than two hours per day or more than three or four days a week. References provided on request.
Regarding our horse services for weddings and all events, we do baraat horse and all Indian wedding horse rentals for Long Island Indian weddings and beyond. Our wedding horse rides are more affordable than most horse and carriage rentals. As a unique form of wedding transportation, you are sure to have something that is rarely seen in the wedding industry today.
Let us carry you like royalty to your next event.
Ask about our trail rides and riding lessons as part of our original and now dba company name, Nativity Riding Academy. We offer English and Western private and semi-private lessons and trail programs for people of all ages.
Are lessons really necessary? "But I ride on trail rides okay..."
It would stand to reason that having held the horn of the western saddle pommel to buckle down and tolerate your mount's trot is enough to say you've got some "experience" to speak of when asked this at your next vacation hacking stable before being assigned a horse for that next trail. So, if I don't want to ever jump at the horse show competitions, why would I ever need lessons?
The best answer to that question is : safety. Just because you didn't happen to fall, your horse didn't happen to spook and you white-knuckled it just fine with a tight grip on the horn is no honest indication of a rider with a good seat. A good "seat," as per any (moderate industry standard) certified instructor, is gained after so many hours of riding various mounts at all the gaits in various situations, starting from the quiet school horse trained for beginners to the intermediate mounts and further.
Beginner riders are the most likely to be injured. In Oregon, Idaho and Washington, a study was done that showed this (Mayberry et al., 2007) among others done that I can provide upon request.
After learning basics about the mind of the horse as a herd prey animal in a leading lesson on the ground, you will learn safe mounting techniques as your trainer holds your mount by the bit.
As part of the standard lesson curriculum in the weeks to follow, you will learn what it means to ride defensively (but not fearfully) through repetition sets on a lunge line to gain your seat at first. Practice sets or repeated exercises to reinforce cerebellar learning (kinesthetics/ coordination) for your individual parts of your body that must often move independent of one another unnaturally to move biomechanically naturally with the locomotion of your mount.
As your lessons progress, you will develop a seat independent of your hands. In other words, your hip will flex rhythmically to your mount's trot but you will learn to keep steady hands that will hold reins without affecting or leaning on the horse's bit in his mouth (at the other end of your reins. This among much more toward developing suppleness in other joints in response to your horse's natural movements directed assertively but lightly by you in a methodically reactive timing that only comes with feel after so many hours on each mount variably with your level of training and time on new horses or with introduction to new activities.
Only now can you truly know how handle reins respectfully and be safe enough to properly steer an intermediate schooling mount at a walk and develop a relationship to your mount outside our trainer's direct physical contact at the bit.
Only now can you truly appreciate the difference between sitting on a hack mount - who instinctively follows a guide mounted on a lead horse who he is already most obedient toward because he trusts and knows him/her more- and becoming the "alpha of your mount's herd to to speak and gaining his trust on your own. Not as easy as you ever would've originally thought. And certainly not as rewarding and deeply mutually unified in movement and heart without that transformative learning time in earning ecah individual true equine friendship.
The "baraat" is the name of the actual procession that takes place of the finely, traditionally and formally dressed Sikh bridegroom. The groom is in Sherwani embroidered jacket reaching down to his kneesover tightly fitted pants. This is accessorized with red "Chuni" scarf, possible garland and with Mojri- embroidered shoes. And don't forget the "saafa", turban on his head and kirpan sword in his hand. He is mounted on a white horse and his family (aka the "baraatis" or "barat") who are on foot dance and sing with the dhol (bass drum and more) toward the entrance of his ceremony which is also the site of the milni, or the meeting of the bride's parents with them ritually. This proceeds the entrance of the couple to be wed to the mandat, or covered tent symbolizing their new house together.
The groom's mount, or the "ghodi" is also decorated traditioanlly to match the groom, typically, reg and gold. The ghori drape over his back exndinmg down to the horse's knee level and is placed under the saddle is embroidered on fine material draping down both sides of the horse. In more conservative tradition, the tail and horse's head are also covered with matching material. Before baraat starts, grrom's family often photograph the placement of the lehenga tassle gifts on the mane from the groom's female siblings.
Our horses are kept up to date on their vaccinations annually.
Do horses sleep standing up?
Yes, but mostly for short naps.

Dragonette drops Emily Nash remix of 'Twennies'
Leave a Comment on Dragonette drops Emily Nash remix of 'Twennies'
Fresh off the heels of her acclaimed new album Twennies, electro-pop powerhouse Dragonette has shared a second remix of the title-track single, this time from UK-born DJ and Producer Emily Nash.
Dragonette, aka songwriter/producer Martina Sorbara, celebrated the release of Twennies with a special hometown performance in Toronto, at The Axis Club. Watch the CBC Music recording of the Concert HERE.
Discussing Emily Nash's take on "Twennies," Sorbara said, "I'm so stoked to have the amazing Emily Nash give her Dark Dance touch TWENNIES. Check out this new rave revival – lock it into your weekend."
Emily Nash added: "I loved remixing 'Twennies' by Dragonette. I normally go for a deep house dance style when it comes to remixing but when I went to remix this track, I knew I needed to take it to the next level. I found an acid style synth in Logic and knew that was the base of the idea. It's my favourite remix I've ever done as it has an element of acid tech house while still keeping my deep house dance bass sound in it."
On Twennies, Sorbara chose to work with one creative partner for the entire project—the Los Angeles-based producer Dan Farber (Dizzee Rascal, Lizzo). The two artists spent several weeks together holed up in Sorbara's Toronto studio, where they wrote the majority of the record. "I've never concentrated on working on an album like that; just living and breathing this one thing," she shares.
Twennies marks a full-circle moment for Sorbara. "It's a true hybrid of my original influences as a child and what I've learned along the way. It feels so representative of my musical journey." She adds, "It's my favorite thing I've ever done. I'm so proud of it."
With a career spanning over fifteen years, Dragonette has scored numerous global hits including "Pick Up the Phone," "Let it Go," "Tokyo Nights" with Digital Farm Animals and Shaun Frank, "Outlines" with Mike Mago, "Slow Song" with The Knocks, and the chart-topping "Hello" with Martin Solveig, which garnered a JUNO Award win for 'Dance Recording of the Year' and returned to the Billboard Dance Charts just last year. Collaborating with the world's biggest DJs including Martin Garrix, Basement Jaxx, Kaskade, Galantis, and more, Dragonette's musical diversity knows no bounds, and as a songwriter her credits include Keith Urban, Cyndi Lauper, Pretty Sister, and Carly Rae Jepsen, among others.
Creative versatility shines across Dragonette's four acclaimed studio albums, including Galore (2007), which earned Dragonette a JUNO nomination for 'Breakthrough Group of the Year', the JUNO-nominated Fixin To Thrill (2009), the JUNO-nominated Bodyparts (2012), and 2016's Royal Blues. With global headlining credits too numerous to list, Dragonette has also supported the likes of Duran Duran, New Order, Ke$ha, and Miike Snow, and amassed major festival credits, playing to thousands of fans at Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Glastonbury, and Lollapalooza.
With Twennies Dragonette moves into the newest chapter of her illustrious career, looking forward with more wisdom, experience and confidence than ever before, and creating her best work to date.

This is a great blog! Thank you George and Ann for sharing..
George — that was fantastic that you got someone to give you their personal view of the city and what it has to offer. Did I miss the story about the guys with the big teased hair?
No you did not miss the guys in the Park. You would think 3 weeks in Japan would be enough time to do all that needs to be done, but we have been on the go from morning to night, hardly enough time to eat let alone blog and we woke up today in Hong Kong for a 2 day stay. I hope the guys in the park get blogged tonight.

Foshan Guanyu Group is one of the ग्लेज़ेड स्प्लिट मोजाइक leading brands in China. It is the factory & supplier specializing in manufacturing ग्लेज़ेड स्प्लिट मोजाइक. Offer high quality ग्लेज़ेड स्प्लिट मोजाइक at a cheap wholesale price.


One week building appropriate machines and technologies. We propose 4 different projects and depending on the registration of the participants we will carry out two or three projects in parallel during the week. We will work about 6 hours max each day and the rest of the time we will hang out, dream, conspire, sleep and dance among others.
We want to give a boost to projects with which we are working and that due to lack of time, resources and/or knowledge, we cannot develop everything we would like to. We want to open the code and the doors of calafou to work together on 4 proposals that we are excited about and that we consider necessary for the development of collective infrastructures for social movements and all communities that seek to build autonomy and develop appropriate technologies. Projekto Kunlabora works collaboratively from software, hardware and wetware, creating techniques, machines and devices.
We imagine a self-financed event, in which all the participants contribute with resources in order to gather and learn together how to develop these projects. When we say self-financed, we mean that all the productive and reproductive work is supported by the contributions and volunteer work of the people that coordinate and participate to this event. We do not count on any grant or financial aid to organize the event. This also means that if you register for the event, it will be important that you send us the money for your subscription before the event takes place so that we can buy everything we need (from the materials for the machines to the food).
In addition to the registration fees, each project has some participation fees that you can see below.
We are building the precious plastic machines for recycling plastic. There are four machines: the first breaks down plastic to little pieces and the others can make different shapes from it. We will try to make an hybrid of shredder and plastic extruder, using the same motor. We wish to leave it ready at the end of the event to be able to "do things" with recycled plastic. We estimate that we need 200 euro to finish the machine (we already have a lot of materials) so ask for 20 euros by person with a maximun of 10 participants.
We have a lovely book scanner from memory of the world . We contact the participants of the last Hack the Biblio event in Calafou and ask them if they are still interested in building a book scanner to share in communities. We can also go through a scanning and OCR development party for liberating some great orphan books and fanzines. Great for people that like to say indoor and pay significant attention to details :-).
We estimate that we need 500 euros to make the machine, so we ask for 50e by person for a maximum of 10 participants. This scanner is not for calafou, but it will be shared by other colletctives relevants to the digital public libraries concept on the iberian peninsula.
We will investigate ways of collecting and analise environmental data to monitor the contamination in the Anoia river around Calafou. There is already a time lapse camera installed on the high bridge that takes periodic pictures of the river. We have ideas for solving the contamination of the river and we would like to know yours too.
We estimate that we need 150e for this project, so we ask for a 15 euro by person contribution with a maximum of 10 participants.
Ever wanted to convert the wind's kinetic energy intoo electrical energy? If you are into this type of technology, we will build a vertical wind turbine based on the Ugrinsky turbine and its power generator. The rotor will be made out of recycled materials and simple fabricated elements.
We estimate that we need 180 euros to make the turbine so we ask for a 18 euros contribution with a maximum participants.
2018-07-20 we open the call for participation and the registration form.
2018-09-15 we close the registration.


All of us here at the Tavern are excited to announce that we will participating in Baltimore County's Winter Restaurant week (January 11-27). Check out our menu Here.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Mar. 6 (Korea Bizwire) — Aryaka®, the leading global SD-WAN provider, today announced that SK Holdings will provide Aryaka's global SD-WAN solution to enhance global connectivity and application performance for enterprises with offices and sites in South Korea.
The partnership will enable SK Holdings to provide global enterprises with significantly faster and more consistent application performance, increased speed and direct access to cloud/SaaS services, and increased agility and cost savings compared to legacy network architectures. For Aryaka, it represents further expansion of the company's market footprint in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region.
Aryaka's State of SD-WAN Connectivity report found that the links in and out of the Asia-Pacific region are the most unreliable in application performance. According to the report, application response times for one 100 KB file to travel from Asia to the Americas over an Internet-based SD-WAN can be as high as 4000 milliseconds. Companies using a private global SD-WAN solution like Aryaka's have seen 4.1 times faster application response times with data travelling similar distances.
SK Holdings is a Systems Integrator focused on IT and communications technology convergence, and provides integrated IT services to its group companies as well as other companies with presence in South Korea and internationally.
Deployed by more than 800 global enterprises, Aryaka is the leading global SD-WAN provider and has the fastest growing SD-WAN solution in the market today, delivering enhanced performance for cloud and on-premises applications worldwide.

The immense African plains stretch away into the distance on all sides of this tastefully appointed hideaway in the Chobe Forest Reserve bordering the Chobe National Park. To best capture the views, settle back on the viewing deck which overlooks a waterhole where elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra and other game gather in impressive numbers. The central section of the lodge, which also houses a lounge, dining room, plunge pool and bar, lies beneath the shade of an ancient baobab tree, while rustic-chic thatched suites are arranged to face the river. Each quiet refuge is generously sized with floor-to-ceiling windows, air conditioning, indoor and outdoor showers and a refresh-and-relax pool. Evening meals are served on the raised deck. In addition to game viewing from customised vehicles, a full day's safari in the reserve takes in a cruise and picnic lunch, or join a professional guide for a close-to-nature game walk. Visits to local schools or to see village craftspeople at work can be arranged.
