Thoughts on 2017 Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit
By Marc Blackman, CEO Gold Eagle Co.
In the fall of 2017, I returned to the annual Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit, a meeting of business leaders from diverse industries with like-minded values and business philosophies. Each year I return fired up and ready to put the concepts of Conscious Capitalism to work at Gold Eagle Co. But this year was different. This year I entered the Summit with trepidation and with Gold Eagle undergoing significant changes.
As I touched down in the capital of the Lone Star State, I felt I needed validation that the path Gold Eagle is on is the right one and that our journey into Gold Eagle's future was the right course. I felt uncomfortable but yet was comfortable knowing that by the end of the Summit I'd gain perspective on what was troubling me. I embraced my trepidations and settled in for three days of thought leadership about "Elevating Humanity Through Business."
Conscious Capitalism is based on a belief "that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people to their fullest potential. Free enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. It is one of the most compelling ideas we humans have ever had." At the CEO Summit, we aspire to DO EVEN MORE!
Each speaker presented their views on this belief and how their companies were putting these concepts into action. We heard from the CEO's of The Motley Fool, Thrive Market, SoulPancake, Hello Alfred and Panera Bread. But the CEO I wanted to hear from most, was John Mackey, CEO and Co-Founder of Whole Foods Market, and who co-authored the book Conscious Capitalism that gave the movement its name.
I've seen John speak before, and he is engaging and inspiring. But this year, with the acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon, what would John have to say? Would he continue to preach the concepts of Conscious Capitalism? Would he convey any of the uncertainty we've read about in the days after the acquisition? Would Whole Foods, a truly conscious company, be able to retain its conscious values? Would John…still be John?
John told us about the courtship of Amazon and Whole Foods. According to John, it was a courtship, as this acquisition was more like a marriage than a merger. The entire courtship period lasted only two months. Whole Foods will remain a conscious company with a conscious culture. The higher purpose of Whole Foods will remain intact. Plus, John will now be able to be creative again to follow his path for the betterment of his company.
After hearing from John, I felt better. As I wrestle with the question of how Gold Eagle Co. can retain its Corporate WHY, Core Values and ethical principles (that define & differentiate us), in light of rapid and significant business changes, I re-affirmed that we are on the right path. We are investing in e-commerce while we continue to support our brick and mortar, retail partners. We acquired Trinova and are building a robust product portfolio. We remain a leader in private brands for some of the world's best-known companies. We invest in our office and factory. But most important of all, we invest in our people and our culture. I am never satisfied and will always focus on making Gold Eagle the best, most fulfilling environment for all team members to thrive both professionally and personally. Conscious Capitalism is a belief and mindset. Business can truly be a force for good and as far as I am concerned, it starts with the Gold Eagle Team!
I was now ready to return to Chicago with a reaffirmation that we are on the right path, and our journey will be exciting, challenging and fun.
Forever onward….

Japanese artist Futurismo Zugaousaku has posted a set of over 30 truly stunning Quartz Composer projects. If you're running Mac OS X 10.4 or later, these projects can be download and installed as screen savers.
Quartz Composer is a graphics development environment that's built into the latest version of Mac OS X. Furthermore, if you have a Mac, then the engine to run Quartz compositions is also built into your OS. Because of that, these screen savers are super easy to install.
To set up the screen saver, open System Preferences, click on "Desktop & Screen Saver" and you should see the file you just downloaded in your list.
Keep in mind that these animations tend to hammer your processor. So, if you're burning DVDs or rendering media, you'll want to disable the Quartz screen savers first.


Don't Waste Time Waiting in Line at the Airport!
It took me a long time to sign up for Global Entry. I was afraid that the process would be extremely time consuming, and I didn't want to go all the way to JFK. Until, I learned that you don't have to!
The Global Entry approval process did take a while, but it wasn't nearly as time consuming as I thought it would be and the final appointment is extremely brief. I just spent a lot of time waiting to get approved and waiting for an appointment. For the New Yorkers out there, there is a TSA approval center down in the financial district, so you do NOT have to trek out to the airport! Now that I have Global Entry, I don't know why I waited so long! It's worth the wait as it saves a ton of time both going through security when you arrive at the airport and going through immigration when returning to the United States.
The benefits of Global Entry include no immigration paperwork and shorter lines at most major US airports. Select other countries also give expedited entry to Global Entry members. A huge bonus of Global Entry is TSA Pre-Check is included! This means that you will receive expedited security on all your flights including domestic flights! There is zero reason to sign up for TSA Pre-Check instead of Global Entry.
1. Head to https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/ and create an account.
2. Complete your application on the Trusted Traveler Program website. The application fee is $100 and is non-refundable. Make sure have all your past residences and employer information handy. You'll need to report this information for the past few years. Check with your credit card companies before paying the fee, many credit cards offer rebates on Global Entry enrollment.
3. You'll have to wait for awhile to get approved. The average is 15 days.
It may be a couple of months before you get an appointment, so be patient!
4. You will need to bring your passport and one other form of identification, such as a driver's license or ID card to the interview as well as your letter of conditional approval. If you are a lawful permanent resident, you must present your machine readable permanent resident card. The final appointment is relatively painless and quick.
If you need a vacation as rationalization for your Global Entry application, contact me here!

Left Determined to Undermine Unseen Government Racial Disparity Audit
While Westminster waited on the government's racial disparity audit, the trailed findings were unsurprisingly slammed by the left – furious that their belief in the UK's institutional racism. The Runnymede Trust, despite not having read the report, was first out of the gates, with their chief executive saying she's "deeply, massively let down" by the report, and that the government did not have the confidence of black and minority ethnic communities:
"Institutionally, we are still racist, and for a government-appointed commission to look into (institutional) racism, to deny its existence is deeply, deeply worrying."
It looks like the Trust is less-than-confident their objections to the substance of the report will cut through, however. Guido's seen an email sent from their Chief Executive Halima Begum, who is privately trying to undermine the commission's author Tony Sewell:
"Tony Sewell was not considered a suitable person to chair such a commission, because of his previous damaging comments on race and other equality issues.
Those "damaging" comments being his belief that evidence of institutional racism is "flimsy"…
The email also says the Sewell report is expected to downplay the role of structural and institutional racism, and:
"repeat the myth that the 'white' working class are being disadvantaged because there is too much focus on the disadvantage faced by ethnic minority communities."
Readers will be astonished to learn Halima Begum stood to be Labour's 2019 candidate in Poplar and Limehouse…

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 40 paired EOC tissues and adjacent normal ovarian tissues were surgically resected in Hanchuan People's Hospital. Quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-539-3p in EOC tissues and cell lines. Targeted regulatory mechanism of miR-539-3p on SPARC-like protein 1 (SPARCL1) was identified by luciferase reporter and Western blot assays. Furthermore, the effects of miR-539-3p/SPARCL1 axis on the malignant behaviors of EOC cells, including proliferation, invasion and migration abilities, were confirmed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell and scratch wound assays.
RESULTS: QRT-PCR showed that the expression of miR-539-3p was significantly up-regulated in EOC tissues and cell lines. SPARCL1 was a direct target of miR-539-3p in EOC cells. Overexpression of miR-539-3p significantly promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cells. Furthermore, co-transfection of miR-539-3p inhibitor and si-SPARCL1 could remarkably restore the migration and invasion abilities of SKOV3 cells.
CONCLUSIONS: MiR-539-3p acted as an oncogene in EOC by targeting SPARCL1. MiR-539-3p/SPARCL1 axis, as a target for the treatment of EOC, might become a feasible and new method of tumor treatment.

City of Mississauga, Development, Government of Ontario
Today, at a Special Council Meeting, City staff provided an overview of Bill 23, the Build More Homes Faster Act, 2022 and its potential impacts on Mississauga. The Bill introduces changes, which, if approved, would significantly limit the City's ability to provide important housing-related infrastructure and services resulting in increased costs for Mississauga residents.
"We want to work with the province to build more housing and while we agree that bold action needs to be taken, it can't be done at the expense of our city and ultimately, our taxpayers. Cities can't be expected to fund provincial incentives to help bring more affordability to the market. Right now, we have no guarantees from either level of government that cities will be made whole and that's extremely concerning. If passed, this legislation puts our plans to build and maintain parks and open spaces, libraries, fire stations, sewers, roads and public transit that future and existing residents need and deserve on hold. Our Council works hard each day to deliver fairness for taxpayers and I encourage the government to find a solution that doesn't put the gains we've made at risk."
Mayor Crombie
According to the staff report, the City stands to lose over $800 million in revenue over the next 10 years. This includes more than $320 million for growth-related infrastructure and a staggering 70 per cent loss of revenues collected for the purchase of parkland. The shortfall stems from Bill 23's proposed changes to development charges and parkland dedication.
"Building complete communities requires cooperation with the private sector and all levels of government," said Shari Lichterman, Commissioner, Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer. "Cities are facing significant financial impacts but there is no guarantee that developers will be required to pass any savings resulting from lower growth and parkland charges on to new homeowners. This must be addressed because as it stands, the quality of life in our communities will suffer at the expense of developer profits."
In addition to the projected loss of revenue, the staff report highlights the impact Bill 23 could have on affordable housing. The legislation proposes to reduce or eliminate the few tools municipalities have to deliver affordable housing. For example:
The proposed five per cent cap for inclusionary zoning (IZ) units will result in a minimum of 30 per cent fewer affordable units than the City anticipated when it passed its IZ policy earlier this year.
The shift to a market-based definition of affordability for IZ units would mean that the vast majority of Mississauga's essential workforce would be priced out of these homes.
Rental protection laws would be removed or scaled back.
As part of the province's overall 1.5 million new homes target, Mississauga must pledge to build 120,000 homes in the next ten years (approximately 12,000 units a year).
"We welcome growth in Mississauga and have a robust plan to build more housing, including allowing for unlimited height and density in our downtown and gentle density in our neighbourhoods. But, as we build more supply, we can't forget about affordability," said Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building. "Given the depth of the affordability issues across Ontario, the Province must continue to protect rental housing and ensure that the supply of affordable housing continues to grow alongside market units."
The City already has policies in place that will assist Mississauga in achieving the provincial targets, however, the staff report questions whether the development industry is prepared to bring those units to market given economic conditions, persistent labour and material challenges.
The staff report also outlines concerns echoed by many stakeholders around the potential impacts on Ontario's heritage, natural environment and the ability to adapt to climate change. Of note for Mississauga is the new proposed "Ecological Offsetting" policy which would set a dangerous precedent by chipping away at the amount of natural spaces covered by the City's Natural Heritage System.
Today's report, which was endorsed by City Council, authorizes staff to submit detailed comments on Bill 23 to the Government of Ontario during the consultation period.

Today, Council approved updates to the Administrative Penalty By-law and Traffic By-law. These updates will improve safety and comfort for cyclists using bike lanes in Mississauga. Starting in May, drivers will be fined $55 for stopping or parking in bike lanes.
"The safety of all road users is a top priority at the City of Mississauga and that's why we took the action we did today," said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. "We closely reviewed options for enforcing and issuing fines and looked at how neighbouring municipalities are responding. We strongly feel that creating a fine for this behaviour and strengthening our by-laws is an important way we can protect cyclists and drivers and help avoid injury and death on our roads."
Prior to the by-law amendments, the City's Administrative Penalty By-law did not include a fine for parking in or blocking a bike lane. The City's Traffic By-law prohibited road users from stopping their vehicle in a bike lane, but not from parking. Without specific reference to parking, the City was limited in its ability to establish penalties for this behaviour.
"We have painted bike lanes in Mississauga where it's not uncommon to see drivers encroach on, stop or park in them. We often see this happening where parking exists to the right of the bike lane – where drivers must cross the bike lane to access the parking. You can see examples of this on Confederation Parkway between Rathburn Road West and Burnhamthorpe Road West, and Tenth Line West between Britannia Road West and Derry Road West," said Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works. "While physically separated bike lanes will be part of major road projects moving forward, these updated by-laws will deter this behaviour on our existing painted bike lanes, where cyclists are most vulnerable."
The updated Traffic By-law includes:
A formal definition of 'bicycle lane' to make identification and enforcement easier
Language that prohibits drivers from stopping and parking in painted bike lanes
An updated list of vehicles permitted to park or stop in a bicycle lane (e.g. public transit, fire and emergency services)
An updated list of those permitted to drive in a bicycle lane (e.g. bike, e-scooter, fire and emergency medical services)
The updated Administrative Penalty By-law includes:
$55 fine for parking and stopping a vehicle in a bicycle lane
$55 fine for parking in a prohibited area (e.g. where there is signage prohibiting parking)
The City reviewed 38 neighbouring Ontario municipalities and determined of those 38, 15 have fines for this kind of behaviour, including Toronto, Oakville, Vaughan, Burlington, Brampton and Hamilton. Mississauga's $55 fine is consistent with these findings, as well as the City's fine for stopping and parking in a prohibited area.
"Enforcement by the City will begin in May. Proactive enforcement will also occur this spring in locations previously identified by residents and on roads that have vehicle parking and painted bike lanes," said Helen Noehammer, Director, Infrastructure Planning and Engineering Services. "If you see drivers parking or stopping in a bike lane, we encourage you to call 311 so that the location can be flagged for enforcement."
Establishing this fine aligns with the Move pillar in the City's Strategic Plan, Cycling Master Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Vision Zero Action Plan and Climate Change Action Plan.

The next City of Mississauga municipal election is on Monday, October 24, 2022. Visitmississaugavotes.ca for more information.
Mississauga Council Calls on the Integrity Commissioner to Investigate Alleged Property Damage Committed by a City Councillor
At its meeting today, Council passed a resolution requesting the Integrity Commissioner conduct an investigation into the allegations that Councillor Ron Starr engaged in harassing behaviour towards former Councillor Karen Ras that violated the Councillor Code of Conduct and/or the City's Respectful Workplace Policy.
Council requested that Councillor Starr take a leave of absence until the Integrity Commissioner's investigation has concluded and the report is presented to Council.
Council also requested the Integrity Commissioner attend a Special Council meeting on February 9, 2022 or at his earliest convenience to explain his rationale for not investigating former Councillor Ras's complaint regarding this matter and to explain how Sections 2(2)(a) and 2(2)(c) of the Council Code of Conduct Complaint Protocol applies to this situation.
"Neither Council or the Corporation of the City of Mississauga condone the alleged actions by one of our City Councillors or any harassment or bullying at City facilities," said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. "We take seriously the safety of all our employees, Members of Council and everyone who visits the City Hall precinct. Through this investigation, we will get the answers Council and the public demand and deserve."
It is important to note that City Councillors are not employees of the Corporation of the City of Mississauga. They are governed by the Councillor Code of Conduct. Complaints about contraventions of the Code are be made to the Integrity Commissioner. Matters between Councillors are dealt with through the Code, and where criminal activities are involved, through Peel Regional Police.
The City can confirm that staff received a report of vandalism/property damage occurring within the City Hall secure parking garage in April 2021. City of Mississauga security staff followed and continue to follow all procedures and cooperate with Peel Regional Police in their investigations when asked to do so. This includes providing video footage if requested. The City does not publicly comment on the specifics of security incidents or disclose the content of security tapes as the footage is protected under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) and our Video Surveillance Policy (03-10-02).
Specifics of this matter are best addressed by Peel Regional Police.

Two Mahlers
The Gergiev show that has been tramping up and down the East Coast this month landed at the KC last night for a Mahler 8 with his Mariinsky Orchestra, the Choral Arts Society, the Children's Chorus of Washington, and others.
I love me some good Gergiev, and was totally game for wherever he was going with this. While the first part had some thrilling climaxes (and really, how can you get 300 professional musicians to play in coordination as loud as possible and not have some thrills) it didn't come together for me. Too often the textures were muddy and the momentum unfocused, with aimless stretches that felt like they were trying to balance predictability and survival with the music making. Having been in choruses during a few such massive operations, the together but middling sensation is familiar, but of course doesn't really create the conditions for an inspired reading. Gergiev likes to play it close to the edge, but the prospect of losing control of this most freight-trainish of movements may have inhibited even him.
The virtues of Gergiev and orchestra were much more evident in Part II--unabashed old-movie-score-pathos in the strings; an exciting ruddy brass sound that doesn't just dig deep, it excavates; and an unflagging attention to the drama and heart of the piece--like Bernstein after an all-night Stoli-fueled bender.
The vocal ensemble was pretty strong, with tenor August Amonov the standout in his passionately sung Part II solo work. The women brought some nice Slavic flavor (loved deep-voiced mezzo Zlata Bulycheva) but individually were a bit underpowered in relation to the orchestra, with the possible exception of Lyudmila Dudinova (UPDATE: Ok, I'm pretty sure I can't figure out the name of the soloist I'm trying to indicate here and I don't know the 8th well enough to figure it out, so...dark-haired one third from stage right, with a lot of material about 2/3rds of the way through Part II: you sounded good).
The choirs sounded tremendous. Any ensemble deserves a lot of points just for showing up and wrestling successfully with this thing, but there were moments where the vocal forces distinguished themselves, to be sure. The opening of the Chorus Mysticus was a model of controlled, finely blended piano singing, not an easy effect to achieve in such a large group, and the result was quite magical.
More reviews: Tim Smith...Anne Midgette...Downey (who is having none of that)...
Haven't had a chance to write about it, but I had my first opportunity to see Eschenbach as NSO director last Friday, in the second installment of the the Mozart 34/Mahler 5 program that concluded his Fall run. While I haven't been terribly diligent about attending NSO shows the last few years, I think that's about to change...
The consolation Mozart was very nice (it was supposed to be an all-Mahler program)--I was especially struck by the orchestra's sensitivity to the precise articulation Eschenbach called for--though its a bit hard to keep one's mind on Mozart when you know you have Mahler in store. (Sorry.) There was the usual defensiveness in the program and the nice post-show talk Eschenbach participated in about doing the piece with the regular ol' orchestra with only modest reductions. Eschenbach had a funny story about a letter from Mozart to his father in the 1780s where he is all jazzed about seeing some freaky big orchestra, so take that HIP facscists. I mean, I don't REALLY know how bad the situation is--maybe Eschenbach went home to find some threatening note on his doorstep festooned with catgut--but all the HIP backlash backlash seems like a bit of a straw man these days. And PS, can you think of anything more tragic than the major symphonies of the world starting to up the quotient of Mozart and Haydn in their programs again?
But anyhow, the MAHLER. In my aforementioned limited experience, this really is the best thing I've heard the NSO do. The orchestra delivered a wonderfully vivid, transparent sound, complemented by very high caliber solo work. Eschenbach's Mahler is thoughtful and intimate. He devotes loving attention to the lyrical moments, drawing them out of the din with great clarity and poignancy. He also has a penchant for creating an effect whereby passages sound almost suspended in time, allowing one to discover and linger in Mahler's eclectic sound worlds.
One could get used to this...
Damn - I missed Mahler 8 at Carnegie on Thursday.
I did hear an awesome Mahler 8 this summer in Edinburgh. A lovely Erin Wall sang Soprano 1 and was awesome, and the dashing John Relyea pretty much stole the show. It closed the Edinburgh International Festival. Great performance. The stage was so crowded that the childrens' choir ran on and off when they had to sing, and they stood on the stairs that the regular choir used to get to their seats.

Q: Significance annotation in facets I am trying to annotate the plot below in a pairwise fashion - in each facet compare corresponding samples in the variable. Essentially comparing CTR from  pos to CTR from neg and so on. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is my data and plots:
library(ggpubr)

#data.frame
samples <- rep(c('LA', 'EA', 'CTR'), 300)
variable <- sample(c('pos', 'neg'), 900, replace = T)
stim <- rep(c('rp','il'), 450)
population <- sample(c('EM','CM','TEMRA'), 900, replace = T)
values <- runif(900, min = 0, max = 100)
df <- data.frame(samples, variable, stim, population, values)

#test and comparisons
test_comparisons <- list(c('neg', 'pos'))
test <- compare_means(values ~ variable, data = df, method = 'wilcox.test',
group.by = c('samples', 'stim', 'population'))

#plot
ggplot(aes(x= variable, y = values, fill = samples), data = df) +
 geom_boxplot(position = position_dodge(0.85)) +
 geom_dotplot(binaxis='y', stackdir='center', position =
 position_dodge(0.85), dotsize = 1.5) +
 facet_grid(population ~ stim, scales = 'free_x') +
 stat_compare_means(comparisons = test_comparisons, label = 'p.signif') +
 theme_bw()

This only produces 1 comparison per facet between pos and neg instead of 3...What am I doing wrong?

A: You can use the following code:
samples <- rep(c('LA', 'EA', 'CTR'), 300)
variable <- sample(c('pos', 'neg'), 900, replace = T)
stim <- rep(c('rp','il'), 450)
population <- sample(c('EM','CM','TEMRA'), 900, replace = T)
values <- runif(900, min = 0, max = 100)
df <- data.frame(samples, variable, stim, population, values)

#test and comparisons
test_comparisons <- list(c('neg', 'pos'))
test <- compare_means(values ~ variable, data = df, method = 'wilcox.test',
                  group.by = c('samples', 'stim', 'population'))

#plot
ggplot(aes(x= variable, y = values, fill = samples), data = df) +
geom_boxplot(position = position_dodge(0.85)) +
geom_dotplot(binaxis='y', stackdir='center', position =
             position_dodge(0.85), dotsize = 1.5) +
facet_grid(population ~ stim+samples, scales = 'free_x') +
stat_compare_means(comparisons = test_comparisons, label = 'p.signif') +
theme_bw()

Hope this will rectify your problem

It was announced in Istanbul on 1 October that a delegation of the Patriarchate of Constantinople is to visit the Ukraine for talks with a small, schismatic group of nationalists, which calls itself the 'Autocephalous Ukrainian Orthodox Church'.
The Patriarchate of Constantinople is to set up a special commission, which will visit Kiev on Saturday 3 October to carry out a 'detailed study of the ecclesiastical situation' in that part of the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church. The self-proclaimed, 'autocephalous' group is led by a Methodius Kudriakov. According to the Ukrainian edition of the 'Kommersant' newspaper, it is with him that the Constantinople commission will negotiate on 4 and 5 October. The group is asking to be received into the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, but remain 'autonomous'. The group's parishes are nearly all in Galicia, a former Polish-controlled territory in the far north-west of the Ukraine.
With this blatant and schismatic interference in the territory of another Local Orthodox Church, the situation has once more become very dangerous. The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, under the Patriarchate of Moscow, which has 85% of the parishes in the Ukraine, is clearly very concerned. We recall how the tiny and fragile Patriarchate of Constantinople barged into internal Russian Church affairs in Estonia in the recent 1990s and created a small schism there. Now, once more, it risks isolating itself from World Orthodoxy, as it did in the distant past, when it sponsored such heresies as Nestorianism and Monotheletism. It may enter into communion with this group, but it will then automatically fall out of communion with the rest of the Church.
When in the 1990s also, the Patriarchate of Constantinople received uncanonical, self-consecrated Ukrainian parishes in the Diaspora into its jurisdiction, it already caused considerable disturbance. If, as in another case of its interference, the 2006 Sourozh schism, the Patriarchate of Constantinople is again to interfere in the territory of another Local Orthodox Church, the result will be disastrous. It will mean that Constantinople falls away into schism from the rest of the Orthodox Church, eventually risking turning into a Protestant-style, new calendar sect.
As was publicly revealed during the CIA-orchestrated 'Orange Revolution' of 2004-5, US dollars are subsidising the move to separate the Ukraine from its Mother-Church. Now, by using as a pawn the Patriarchate of Constantinople, which the abortionist President Barack Obama recently visited, many suspect that the operation is continuing.

The marketing of fish in New South Wales was conducted by licensed fish agents operating out of Haymarket fish market, or by unlicensed operators elsewhere in the state.
The New South Wales government amended the Fisheries and Oyster Farms Act to effectively cancel all licenses held by Sydney fish agents and transferred the marketing of fish in New South Wales to the Chief Secretary's Department. The Chief Secretary's Department established a regulated market system and controlled the centralised market in Sydney until 1994.
The marketing of fish in New South Wales outside Sydney was conducted through a number of fishermen's cooperatives operating along the coastal areas of NSW. 1964 saw the formation of the Fish Marketing Authority. The Fish Marketing Authority was a state-run body responsible for the conduct and management of Sydney Fish Market that was previously maintained by the Chief Secretary's Department.
Sydney Fish Market was built as a wholesale fish market, operated by the Fish Marketing Authority.
Sydney Fish Market moved from the Haymarket area of Sydney to its current location at Blackwattle Bay, Pyrmont. Fish were sold using the traditional 'voice' auction system. This system saw buyers assemble outside the sales bay fence, where inside an assistant would hold up samples of fish from each box for buyers to bid until the highest price was reached.
Sydney Fish Market introduced a computerised Dutch auction in October 1989, dramatically evolving and increasing the efficiencies of the way fish was sold.
Sydney Fish Market established Sydney Seafood School. The School now attracts 12,000 participants a year and hosts an enviable list of Australia's finest guest chefs.
The New South Wales Government privatised the marketing of seafood and Sydney Fish Market Pty Ltd was formed on 28 October. The NSW State government deregulated fish marketing over a two-stage, five-year period, as legislated monopoly was not acceptable under private ownership.
The first stage of deregulation came in November 1997 when fishermen's cooperatives were permitted to sell directly to Sydney buyers. Total deregulation followed in November 1999, when New South Wales catchers could supply direct to any buyer in possession of a Fish Receiver's Permit. Sydney Fish Market no longer held a monopoly over the sale of seafood into the Sydney region.
Sydney Fish Market launched its innovative new online-based seafood trading system, SFMlive that operates in addition to the Dutch auction. SFMlive provides traders with advanced facilities for direct online seafood sales including wild harvest, aquaculture and frozen products, taking fish trading to a new level.
State-of-the-art digital video projectors were installed to enhance the auction clocks. These large screens face toward around 150 to 200 buyers each day.

Q: How to Print Array Of object in EJS? I want to print a userlist in a table using ejs into HTML template in Node js. So I am creating a API, my function is
const UsersReport = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const users = await User.find().select(
      "name email mobile userType activeStatus photo accountType"
    );

    console.log("users", users);
    let pdf_path = path.normalize("public/user");
    if (!fs.existsSync(pdf_path)) {
      fs.mkdirSync(pdf_path);
    }
    const template = fs.readFileSync(
      path.resolve("templates/userList/index.html"),
      "utf8"
    );

    const content = ejs.render(template, users);
    let fullPdfPath = pdf_path + "/users.pdf";
    fs.writeFile(pdf_path + "/users.html", content, () => {
      let port = 5000;
      const url = `http://localhost:${port}/user/users.html`;
      const option = {
        format: "A4",
        path: fullPdfPath,
        printBackground: true,
      };
      const file = {
        url,
      };
      console.log("generating pdf");
      html_to_pdf.generatePdf(file, option).then((pdfbuf) => {
        console.log("pdf sent successfully");
        return response(res, StatusCodes.OK, true, "user/users.pdf", null);
      });
    });
  } catch (error) {
    return response(
      res,
      StatusCodes.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
      false,
      error,
      error.message
    );
  }
};

Here users return an array of object.
My HTML Template code is

        Name
        Contact

        <% for(let i = 0; i <= users.length; i++ ){ %>
          <%= users[i].name %>
          <%= users[i].mobile %>
          <% } %>

But I didn't get the result this showing the following error

{
"status": false,
"data": {
"path": ""
},
"message": "ejs:21\n    19|           \r\n    20|           \r\n >> 21|             <% for(let i = 0; i <= users.length; i++
){ %>\r\n    22|             <%= users[i].name %>\r\n    23|
\r\n    24|             \r\n\nusers is not defined" }

How can I solve this one?

A: If I'm not mistaken, users should be in brackets (see examples on main page):
const content = ejs.render(template, { users });

to use something in a template, it should be given as a property in an object. { users } is just shorthand for { users: users }.

MasterChef Clip 1
Cooking doesn't get tougher than this
The search begins again for another MasterChef champion.
It's the contest that has launched culinary careers and inspired amateur cooks everywhere – now the search begins again for another MasterChef champion.
The popular series is packed with tension, tears and raw talent as 60 contestants initially line up in the famous MasterChef kitchen to try and make it through to the final.
Judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace are back to put the contestants through their paces with invention tests, intense culinary challenges – including being thrown in at the deep end in high-pressure professional kitchens – and the chance to create their own brilliant dishes.
As they battle through the heats in the hope of avoiding elimination, which of these amateur cooks will impress the judges and carry off the coveted MasterChef title?
Gregg Wallace
London-born Greg is a produce connoisseur who started his career as a stall trader at London's Covent Garden Market. He made his name in the fruit and veg world by founding Allan's Greengrocers in 1989, a company that went on to celebrate a tidy £7.5 million annual turnover.
His entrepreneurial success and knowledge of greens earned him a seven year broadcasting contract with the BBC Radio 4 show Veg Talk, a year as host of the popular cooking TV show Saturday Kitchen and guest spots on such diverse shows as the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? and The Money Programme. However, since 2005, Greg is best known for being a MasterChef co-host and judge.
In 2014, Greg hit the dance floor as a celebrity contestant on the hit show Strictly Come Dancing. Sadly, his moves failed to wow and he was voted off in the second week of the competition.
Aside from his TV career, Greg is a contributing journalist for BBC Good Food and Olive magazines. He also published his autobiography – Life on a Plate – in 2012.
John Torode
John Torode burst onto the British culinary scene after emigrating from his native Australia at the age of 25. He made his name cooking prime-cut meat dishes at Terrance Conran's most revered London dining hotspots – Pont de la Tour, Quaglino's and Mezzo – before landing a broadcasting contract as a resident chef on the popular TV morning magazine show Richard and Judy.
In 2000, John established himself as a restaurateur in his own right by opening his New York style Smiths of Smithfield in a grand grade II listed building in the heart of Smithfield Market, London's only working meat market. Guided by a mission "to serve simple food made from the finest ingredients", it became an instant success and prompted him to open a second establishment called Luxe in 2009. Under his leadership, turnover of the two restaurants reached a reported £9.2 million.
John's passion for locally farmed meat earned him presidency of the Royal Agricultural Society of England in 2008. He has also authored several bestselling books on cooking protein to perfection, including John Torode's Beef and John Torode's Chicken and Other Birds.
In addition to presenting and judging MasterChef since 2005, John's broadcasting CV includes the recent John Torode's Australia. The ten-part series saw him return to his homeland to retrace the flavours of his childhood that ignited his passion for food, and was the most watched show on BBC Good Food in 2014.
Outside of the kitchen, John is fanatical about running, which he claims has helped him to manage his long battle with asthma.

Young and Wild and...Young!
Xanadu Weyr - Shore of Lake Caspian
The cliffs that run along the shore come and go, various weyrs nestled along the tops of them or dug into the walls, but eventually they recede enough to expose a beach. The white sand echoes the rise and fall of the cliffs with a multitude of sandy dunes, endlessly creating tiny valleys that are constantly demolished and rebuilt by the frequent arrival or departure of dragons. The dunes smooth out as the gentle slope approaches the edge of the deep blue water. The sand darkens, and a shell here and there stands out for children to collect.
The beach narrows to the southwest, leaving a path barely wide enough for dragons in single file before cutting in to a smaller, more sheltered cove. The sands are the same white, the waters the same blue, but they're calmer and more tranquil, more protected from the winds that ruffle Lake Caspian and the currents that tug beneath the surface.
Rough, wide stairs lead up to the meadow above and the road that runs along the top of the cliffs, passing through the fields and heading for the river mouth that can be just barely seen from here. The largest of the staircases up the cliff is located near the docks that jut out onto the peaceful blue waters.
Mid summer days are always nice and even for exhausted weyrlings. Tani is no exception. Lumbering after a lumbering Saburath, he has a bucket in one hand and a towel hang across one shoulder. Looks like bathing time. And if anyone closely peers at Saburath's maw, the blood stains would probably informs the young bronze just had a meal. Of course, E'tan could have clean his lifemate inside but it'd have been a shame not to enjoy the sun. "Saburath….not so fast….wait for me please…" calls a chuckling Tani.
While R'en wasn't known for great escapes to other Weyrs very often, it seems since he became Weyrleader he's made more appearance at random weyrs that he ever had before. Either that, or it's simply more noticable, since he's not just a random rider anymore. Sindrieth obscures the view of his rider, the large bronze enjoying the dunes and he's apparently been there a while as he appears to be asleep. His rider isn't far off from sleeping though the sound of new people approaching does wake both of them a little, the bronze stirring and opening an eye to look at the little one coming his way. « You should not run off from your lifemate, little one. » He suggests with a tone of hot desert sands that brush against stone, grating yet not unpleasant.
Saburath instantly stops, claws digging in the sand as he slows his pace to a brisk halt. Craning his neck to one side, he contemplates the older bronze. Behind him Tani catches his breath but is caught by this sudden move from his lifemate and stumbles on his tail and falls, head first. "But…" comes the voice muffled, the weyrling fighting a bit with the bucket and towel before following the young bronze's gaze. « Mine is still a bit slow. I do it for his own good. » is the first reply, mindtone carrying a scintillating touch of eagerness and respect. « You….are big! »
Sindrieth doesn't move from his position, he doesn't need to. The bronze can see all he wants to and needs to from his lounging position on the dunes. However, there is a stirring on the other side and the shifting of sands that is punctuated with a blond bit of hair being seen over Sindrieth's neck ridge before he peers over. "Weyrling, huh." R'en says, though it's not a moment before he disappears again on the other side of the behemoth of a bronze and isn't seen again until he walks around the large head on the sand. « I can understand that, but he requested you to wait. » He returns in response, adding, « It is important to respect the others wishes. There are better ways to encourage without frustration. »
E'tan finally manages to stand up without even a look back from his young bronze. "Oh thank you Saburath. And…yes…I'm alright if you ever wondered." He says not able to hold a grudge on his dragon for more than a blink. "So, it's also a bronze dragon. You've seen some before since we go here to bathe. What is all diff…" the young man's voice trail off and even turns into a cough as the silhouette of R'en is finally noticed. He instinctively straightens, eyes darting this way and that very fast. Knot spotted. Big knot! "Err….Xanadu's duties to…." he's thinking hard. Remember the lessons, remember the lessons. Oh! "…Igen and their queens. Good day Weyrleader. I-I hope we didm't disturb your…rest? Yes." A sharp nod here. "I'm one of the newest weyrling. Elt..err…E'tan. And this is Saburath." A hand rests on the bronze's hide. « But he wishes to be as strong as me. I only help… » Is this a piteous sound that lingers along the youngling voice?
R'en might actually cut an imposing figure if he weren't just sleeping and half covered in sand. His eyes still look half lidded, and while he manages to give the weyrling a bit of a grin and nod when he recognizes both the knot and the rank. "Igen's duties to Xanadu and her queens, as well. I'm R'en, and this is Sindrieth." He offers formally, lifting a hand to rest it on his own bronze's muzzle as he's standing right near it. Sindrieth doesn't move, no, though his eyes close once more and he gives a soft sigh. « You are not strong yet, youngling. You, like he, are still young. Weak, and you both have far to go. » He doesn't argue though, simply states a fact, as the young bronze grows, as will his lifemate. It is not meant to upset, only to make the young dragon realize that they are far from their end result.
E'tan's face turns white. He /did/ disturb a Weyrleader's nap. Swallowing some, he stays close to his young lifemate, obviously searching for support even if R'en didn't show any sign of annoyance. "A pleasure and honor to meet you, Sir." Oh his voice raises again it seems but the original grin on Tani's face is quickly replaced by an apologetic look. "We're sorry we woke you up…" A quick polite nod is sent to Sindrieth. "Both of you…" At his side, Saburath allows a low warble. « You mean it will take….time? » Some disappointment here, lays within the bronze's tone as if suddenly realizing. « So we should work more. And harder. » It's limpid in the bronze's mind.
"Just relaxing, don't worry about it." R'en is quick to say, still standing by where the bronze's head is resting on the dune and quickly wiping some of the stuck on sand off. "And your name is…?" He invites, and glances to the smaller bronze and adds, "And his as well." He lifts a hand to rustle his hair a little, and stretches. Sindreith remains as he was, though his gaze peers between the new rider and his lifemate. « Don't despair. It will happen before you realize. » The bronze's voice is hinted with humour.
E'tan takes a deep breath and exhales, forcing his shoulder to drop some of his tension. "I'm E'tan and this is Saburath." the young weyrling replies softly. Still a bit tensed but it's slowly improving. Saburath tries to raise his head as up as he can, in an obvious way not to look that small in comparison of the huge adult bronze. « I won't despair and shall become larger than you. » Next to him Tani instinctively mimics the young dragon's antic and blinks a bit as he realizes. A calming hand reahces for the hatchling side again. "I assume you come here often?"
R'en will log those names away in a safe place, so safe he'll probably have forgotten them by the next time they meet. "Bath time, I take it?" He asks, noting the bucked that E'tan was carrying along with him and the towels as well. Sindrieth allows the young bronze to try and primp himself so he looks large, making no effort to do the same himself. Instead, he remains laying with his head on the sands and just taking in a breath and letting it out slowly almost like a sigh. « Of course. » He will allow the young bronze to have 'won' that battle. "Oh, no. Just came for some business, and Sindrieth was waiting out here and well.." R'en shrugs, and that is what happened, one supposes.
Some people, when they get hurt, emotionally or otherwise, tend to avoid where it took place as if it were a cursed area. Apparently Kyra doesn't believe in that, or is at least willing to overlook it when she's trying to hunt somebody down. She comes trotting lightly down the stairs that lead down from the meadow, hard to miss in a bright blue knit top with no sleeves and a pair of simple denim shorts that just barely reach her knees. She has her jacket under one arm as well, likely for the trip more than anything else, and she beams brightly when she recognizes both of the bronze-having figures, trotting in their direction quite rapidly. This may be part of why she's here, really, as she is capable of trotting in the first place: her cast is off. The skin of her lower left leg is slightly paler and looks to have a couple scars where they must have had to set the bone in place, but otherwise, she seems to be using it fairly well as she heads in their direction, sandals kicking up a bit of sand in the process, "El! R'en! Hi! Look!" Yep. Concise.
Saburath's twin gems of his eyes whirl with the deep blue of contentment making Tani chuckle some and rub the bronze's neck. "Bath time yes." he replies lifting his bucket before adding. "We will try not to splash or anything since you have an appointment." This time his tone shows all of his respect. Must be a quite amount of work to be Weyrleader. « At least we will try hard! » Saburath may be young he is also a quick learner and with the help of E'tan he begins to surround his limits. Shielding the sun with a hand, Tani perks at the familiar voice, his grin widening on his face. "Kyra? Look! You're walking! And running even. A miracle!" He teases sticking his tongue out quickly.
Sindrieth shifts on the dune, moving to a proper sitting position and it shows that the bronze's straps are still on so he hasn't gotten so comfortable that they're going to stay for too long either. Certainly, he's a lot larger than the dragonet, but he seems interested in watching the young bronze. « I'm sure you will. » Of course, by his own dragon moving it leaves him abandoned on the sands because the head is no longer in the way. He's wearing his normal clothes, just functional and in the usual colors of tans and browns. He running on a newly healed leg certainly doesn't bring the smile she might hope it would, just a shake of his head instead. "A miracle if she doesn't end up on her face." Since newly healed legs are likely less muscled than they were before they went into the cast.
Kyra isn't running far, at least, and does tend to favor her left leg when she slows and eventually stops, grinning brightly at E'tan only to poke her tongue out in response, "Yeah, yeah. Wait around and maybe I'll start to fly." R'en's headshaking and general sour greeting earns a roll of her eyes before she props her hands on her hips, taking on a mildly defiant pose by nature, "Come on, can't you at least be a little happy for me? Or are you just bummed now that I'm totally free to run over to Igen and bother you whenever I want?" Not that she didn't break the rules at least once in that regard, but she's been good since then.
Saburath's tail lashes a bit behind him and he suddenly decides to inspect Sindrieth closer, aiming for his left wing at first. Peering. Crooning. "Saburath, it's not polite…" E'tan almost groan at his life mate's bold curiosity. His attention is dragged away as R'en swiftly comments and the stern look on his face gives place to a large grin again. "Kyra has been known to be resourceful. Right shorty?" His turn to tease. "I'm sorry R'en you got to deal with her. We, here at Xanadu, found ourselves lucky when she broke her leg. Never thought she'd bother someone else." All of that said between laughter and Tani immediately reaches to hug her, silent acknowledgment that he didn't mean that at /all/. "Glad you're healed, Kyra. And I'm happy to see you." That much is true.
"If you start to fly, then we're all doomed." R'en says, though there's no actual reason why for it. Simply it seemed like something to say. Sindrieth doesn't seem to mind the inspecting, even lifting his wing so the younger bronze can see the glimmer beneath the darkness - his wings have some brilliant coloring underneath even if the rest of him seems to lack the glamour of a bright bronzen color. He watches as Tani and Kyra hug, and scrunches his nose at her other comment, "You can't visit me that often, surely you're kept busy doing something.." Yeah, something.. There's got to be. "I've met worse than her…" He offers Tani, though doesn't offer any names to go with the sentiment. "She isn't that bad, really."
Kyra sighs at both of them, her lids lowered and her voice plateauing as she says, "Now I feel like I never should've come here at all. Thanks, guys." E'tan gets a light punch in the side before she returns the hug loosely, giving him a pat on the back, "Yeah, yeah. It's nice to see you, too. And Saburath - I got to see you hatch! You were so cute, and now look at you, such a handsome little guy. You telling Sind how one day you guys will be big bad bronze buddies?" She turns back towards R'en after that, moving to sit next to him on the sand and folding her arms and legs when she does, giving him a frown with a slight twitch of her nose, "Bothering you DOES keep me busy. Although now that my leg is healed, for the most part, I've been able to do some things again, so yes, I've been busier than usual. Want me to fill up my schedule so you don't have to worry about me coming by Igen anymore?" Casting a look up at E'tan, she shakes her head a bit and says, "R'en has become too important for me, El. What should I do?"
"Err…He's actually trying to persuade Sindrieth he'll be larger than him one day" Tani coughs out quite embarrassed as the young bronze reappears from under Sindrieth's right and gently extended wing to sniff at Kyra, almost huffing. "She's a friend, Saburath…behave…" There's another moment of discomfort there and he idly pats the bronze's hide. "I can't be a good adviser Kyra. We just met…" It's not like a bronzer thing. To R'en he offers a knowing look. "I have to agree with you here. There is far much worse on Pern than her." He even gets bold enough to add a wink.
R'en just rolls his eyes and nudges at Sindrieth to get ready to leave. Seems about time, at least, though it's not for the reasons that people might suspect. "It's not like I mind that you come visit. Really, Kyra, you exaggerate too much." He says lightly, trying not to seem upset in the least although the fact she throws barbs at him isn't really helpful. He smirks at E'tan and nods, "You should meet Reya sometime. She's enough to get under anyone's skin." He admits and sighs a little. "I should probably get back. Wasted too much time as it is by falling asleep." Unintentionally, it would appear.
Kyra frowns a little bit when she's told she's exaggerating and looks up at R'en as he stands, angling her knees inwards absentmindedly and commenting, "I only say that because I'm never sure, R'en. I wasn't trying to be mean." Still, she lifts a hand from the sand to wave in his direction, as well as one for his bronze who gets an added bit of smile. She recognizes something of what E'tan is doing and arches a brow at him, kicking a bit of sand towards his feet, "Stop talking with your brain around me. It's rude." So there.
Everything happens fast and Tani tries to follow the best he can. R'en gets a nod and a wave as he departs. "Clear skies." He calls and even Saburath croons at the huge bronze before reaching Tani's side again. "You know I'm only teasing, Kyra." he finally replies, plopping on the sand next to her. "So you know him well? I mean…A weyrleader and all." Recently the young weyrling has experienced a better and clearer view of the Weyr chain of commands.
Kyra blinks at the question from E'tan as she plops her jaw into her palm and watches Sindrieth take off, exhaling roughly, "Yeah, I've known him a long time. Before he was a Weyrleader, especially. You don't need to act like they're quite so dazzling, El. My parents were weyrleaders, gender respective. It doesn't mean as much as people seem to think… and I don't think R'en likes people bringing it up at all, really." She's still looking off into the sky a little, big hazel eyes contemplative and her lips shaped in a pensive pucker.
Saburath was looking up as well, his whirling blue eyes betraying his sudden envy to also leap in the sky. Kyra's rough exhaling brings the young dragon from his reverie and he slowly goes to rest his head on Tani's lap, warbling softly. "One day, Sabu, one day…" and a delighted croon is emitted as the weyrling reaches out to scratches the bronze's eyeridge fondly. "It's just so new to me. I mean I knew ranks and stuff from the outside but now." He grins, lifting his head to look at her more closely. "I will remember your advice tho." is added in an attempt to make her react but it seems like something else is preoccupying her thoughts. "Is everything Okay, Kyra?"
Kyra nods her head slightly when E'tan mentions remembering her advice only to blink rapidly at the question that comes after, finally turning her head to look at him again, a bit of color rising high in her cheeks, "Oh. Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry. I was just thinking. And hey, you're a rider, so I imagine the ranking DOES matter for you more than the rest of us. It's just good to remember that they're still people, you know?" Dropping her legs so they're folded under her, she puts her hands in her lap and smiles over at him, "Sorry I haven't been back to visit much. I figured you guys would be busy, anyway." Yes. Change the subject. Quickly!
E'tan's grin is wide now, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes as he leans to lightly poke at Kyra's shoulder gently. "It's two 'sorry' in less than three minutes Kyra. Watch out." Another playful poke and a chuckle. "We've been through candidacy together. Remember? Chores, lectures, moping and all. Don't be shy around me. We're friends. I didn't want to embarrass tho." His tone is edged with a slight touch of concern. "And yes, we're quite busy. Chores, moping…Oh and something new…mucking!" He chuckles again but it's soon covered by an undignified bugle from Saburath. Well, more like a squishy sound than a real bugle. This young still needs to grow. "No, no, I don't mind…Was just kidding."
Kyra looks amused for a second while she ruffles her fingers through her hair, "Shy? I'm not being shy, you dork. I'm just saying. Besides, there are some things you don't talk about until you're dealing with the person they're about, and that's not you. So don't worry about it so much." She pokes her tongue out just a little only to laugh brightly when mucking is mentioned, casting a look to Saburath and grinning a little, "Don't worry. Some day, neither one of you is going to have to worry about that." A mild shrug and she looks back off idly skywards, leaning her neck on her hand now, "I'm happy to have the cast off, but it looks like the island might be in for a storm or something. You have to go out far to get any decent fish. It's a pain in the ass."
E'tan snorts at that, resuming his stroking on Saburath's head. "You know I've missed you too." He declares, adding another amused snort and chuckle. "I know it's not me and it's certainly none of my business. It's just funny to see you troubled like that. But since you keep changing the subject…." he cuts himself short to stare at her, bracing himself until she reacts. "Don't push yourself too hard tho." he comments the upcoming storm and hard fishing.

Lakers News: Steve Nash Reveals What He Worked On With Jordan Clarkson
2015 NBA Draft: Arizona's Stanley Johnson Declares For Draft
Even though he didn't play a game for the Los Angeles Lakers this season, Steve Nash was still very important in the growth of rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson. Nash worked with Clarkson on a number of different occasions throughout the season as the rookie looked to improve as a pure point guard.
— Think You Know Everything About Kobe Bryant? Take The Ultimate Kobe Quiz! —
In an interview with Mark Medina of the LA Daily News, Nash revealed some of the things he worked on with the rookie:
I tried to give him tips on creating space for himself," Nash said of Clarkson. "If he creates space for himself, space will open up for him to pass the ball. Then the decisions will become clearer and easier to make."
Clarkson wasn't the only person Nash helped with as he also helped out rookie Julius Randle and second-year forward Ryan Kelly via Medina:
Nash advised Lakers rookie forward Julius Randle on tweaking his shooting mechanic. Nash also helped Lakers forward Ryan Kelly become more fluid with his movement after nursing overlapping hamstring injuries that kept him out last season for a combined 30 games.
Nash has always been one of the smartest players in the NBA and imparting that knowledge on the young Lakers players will only help them. The fact that he is willing to work with these guys in his spare time says a lot about his loyalty to the Lakers despite the disappointment surrounding his time in Los Angeles.
While he didn't make the impact everyone hoped he would, Nash is still playing a major role in the future of the Lakers, which is definitely commendable.

So far, I've spent a lot of this week on a secret project. Sometimes, I see people talking about secret projects in the context of, they will release more detail, but that's not the plan here. This paragraph constitutes everything I intend to make public about the project through this blog.
Aside from that, I'm taking it easy for now. I don't want to stress myself out by feeling obligated to fit these various projects into a day, always, though it'd be nice if I could do it more regularly.
It snowed a few days ago, and the front steps of the house are a horrible adventure to navigate. I basically need to hold various things in a deathgrip, and use that to stabilize myself, because so much of the area is covered in curved, sloping ice.
Well, that's it for today I guess, I'm super tired and bad at writing. Good night.

volteFace - Terminology
While a single photograph of an individual may or may not disclose a whole lot of information about them, many photographs can be used to train machine-based facial recognition systems over time, to dynamically identify them under a variety of different scenarios.
As the effectiveness of machine-based facial recognition improves, nefarious governments, organizations, and criminal groups, are actively gathering, amassing and selling photos of individuals, including publicly available ones, as photographic profiles, helping their buyers develop systems that can further erode your personal privacy.
volteFace helps you protect your privacy and identity by targeting and anonymizing key facial landmarks in your photos, making them resistant to machine-based facial recognition, while still allowing others to view and appreciate them as originally intended.
Your photos are modified sufficiently enough to subvert the dependencies of machine-based facial recognition systems, making them resistant to correlation and analysis by entities other than the people for whom they were originally intended.
Depending on the level of privacy you need, volteFace also provides an option to anonymize entire faces in photographs, vs. just facial landmarks only. This makes them more resistant to recognition by both machines & people.
Finally, volteFace will also cleanse your photos of metadata that can also be used to infer more information about your identity and lifestyle.
Anonymize
In the context of volteFace, anonymizing is a term that refers to processing one or more photographs, and removing information that can ultimately be used to affect, or erode your personal privacy. The process of anonymizing a photo involves modifying it in several different ways, ranging from making faces unrecognizable to machine recognition, to removing metadata from the photo, that might contain personally identifiable information.
In summary, volteFace prepares your photos and makes them resistant to exploitation by machine learning and other photo analysis approaches, before you share them with others.
Face detection is a technology that can recognize the existence of faces in photos & videos.
An example is when you take photo of a group of people, the faces are detected and highlighted to help you capture a better shot.
Face recognition is a technology that can not only detect an individual's face in photos & videos, but can also confirm the identity of the individual - ex: John Smith.
Face Landmarks
Face landmarks are the key features of your face that machine-based facial recognition systems are trained with. These systems depend upon these landmarks to confirm whether a given face in an image is yours, from potentially multiple perspectives - such as from a CCTV video capture.
Face identification is a type of face recognition, where the details of an individual's face are cross-referenced against a large database of many faces of individuals to confirm their identity.
An example is when customs and border protection capture your photo to confirm your identity when you enter a country. In this process they also keep this photo to ensure their database is kept updated as your facial profile changes over time.
Face verification is another type of face recognition, where the details of an individual's face are compared against another face of an individual to confirm whether they are the same person.
An example is a retail surveillance system that tracks potential shoplifters using a database of facial profiles of unknown individuals. Alerts can be triggered automatically when the same person returns to the store, without actually knowing who they are.
To be clear, the retail store might also tie this information back to the identities of individuals, as with Know Your Customer (KYC) systems, where the objective is to confirm identity of the individual.
Face Authentication
Face authentication is a technology that uses face verification, or face identification to govern whether you can access a specific hardware device, software, or service. Your actual identity may or may not be confirmed.
An example is a smartphone that you can train to confirm your face, making it more convenient to unlock and access your cell phone.
Emotion Recognition
Emotion recognition is a technology that can recognize the emotions of an individual in photos & videos, and using other methods such as text and sound analysis. For instance, to detect whether someone is happy, laughing, or surprised.
An example is the use of emotion recognition systems to monitor your reaction to products on shelves at a supermarket to measure the effectiveness of product packaging & shelf positioning.
Photo metadata is additional information that is embedded into, and describes a photo. This information can describe not only the photo itself (ex: width & height), but also the environment in which it was captured (such as GPS location and Altitude), the hardware on which it was captured (ex: iPhone 7 Plus), and the software that might have been used to create or modify it.
There are now several standards about how photo metadata can be represented, the most prevalent of which is currently the Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) standard.
