SALLY SMART with a new wall-work, at her studio in Melbourne, 2010. Photo by Kirstin Gollings for ArtAsiaPacific.
For an artist who has attempted for three decades to systemize the amorphous characteristics of the body and the subjective, Sally Smart's studio is an appropriate shape. A squat brick building hunched low on an inner city street in Melbourne, Smart's studio is a former factory with a neat recessed door, punctuated by a head-like circular window.
As a feminist of the movement's sweeping, uncompromising 1970s second wave, Smart has watched subsequent generations pick and choose their politics, but she has held fast to her ideals, and her expectations. In the studio, spread across three large white walls, are collaged assemblages of velvet, felt and screen-printed fabrics. Destined for June's Art Basel fair, this series of pinned, tucked and patched materials unifies in the form of reaching, tiptoeing and extended women, weaving in and around similarly fragmented tree trunks. Seemingly incomplete, these life-size, collaged figures are uncomfortable and aspirational, reaching up and out of the frames. One of them has cutout letters that spell "Radical Feminist" pinned to her underskirt, and screen-printed branches in her photocopied hands. It is unclear if she is reaching for them or hanging from them for support.
Trees and branches thread a common course through Smart's work. To the artist the tree embodies an alternative to the linear course of conventional time and society—it presents a winding way of looking at progress. Her most recent series to feature the tree, the rambling assemblage "Decoy Nest" (2008), was exhibited in New York at Postmasters Gallery, and is currently on show at Greenaway Art Gallery in Adelaide.
This desire to understand herself and her work through the idea of systems, both theoretical and natural, is a clear constant in the studio. The agitation of ideas and ephemera is alive and electric in her mobile, purposefully meandering processes. Just as the words that are scattered down the notebook page on her studio wall seem to have been pinned in place, caught quickly and permanently anchored before evaporating, so it is with her work. She layers and pins, detaches and attaches, adhering a mélange of tactile and palpable materials to a surface, whether it is an expansive gallery wall or the contained, more conventional confines of a rectangular canvas.
Smart shows me "The Exquisite Pirate" (2004–09) series, which has been shown at Amelia Johnson Contemporary and OV Gallery in Shanghai, made up of collaged heroines of the high seas, compiled from an unlikely collection of glossy magazine cutouts, felt, fabric and screen-printed glimpses of the figure. We begin to talk about a forthcoming project to be shown in Melbourne and Beijing, "No Name Station," for which she will spend ten days living with the Gija people at Warmun, an Indigenous community in Australia's Northern Territory.
Before parting, we discuss earlier strategies that artists have used to deconstruct patriarchal systems, in particular Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen's seminal feminist art film Riddles of the Sphinx (1977). Constructed entirely in slow 360-degree pans, this film is an attempt to tell a woman's story by drawing on the circular, cyclical, biological imperative of the female body. Outside the studio we study a bird's nest that Smart found in her garden. It now rests on an upended plinth. Tenderly she turns it about and we admire the instinct that tells birds to build robust structures from the random detritus in their environment. Out on the street, I happen to look back at the studio. There it is again, the perfect circular window that punctuates the entrance to Sally Smart's working world.

Brace of factory relocations for Van der Vlist a continent apart
By HeavyLiftPFI2011-12-08T00:00:00+00:00
December 8 - European abnormal and heavy haulage provider Van der Vlist has undertaken two factory relocation movements continents apart but using the same freight forwarding skills.
Van der Vlist UK co-ordinated the movement of an industrial oven from a factory in Yorkshire, England to northern Spain while Van der Vlist Logistics arranged packing, lashing and transportation of a complete production line for solar panels from The Netherlands to China.
The Dutch production line comprised some very high and wide parts, meaning that a combination of custom-made oversized boxes and containers needed to be utilised to house these abnormal sized elements.
The UK project involved moving three oven sections, each 10 m long, 3 m wide and 3 m high, along with three full trailer loads of ancillary equipment to their final location in San Adrian in northern Spain (pictured below).
Van der Vlist UK utilised trucks from Zwaar Transport Twente, part of the Van der Vlist group. ZTT used two-axle tractor units pulling four-axle semi-trailers to move each oven section.
In order the move the production line to China, Van der Vlist utilised oversized containers. Because of the load being made up of mainly electronic components, it was essential that the packed items were also carefully protected. All loads were loaded by crane onto flat and low bed trailers; these were then transported by road to Rotterdam port. The containers were then loaded into the lower deck of a containership to protect the boxes from the elements (pictured below).
In China, the final leg of the journey involved transporting the boxes by road to the factory where they were unloaded.

The volumetrics diet described in The Diet Denominator is written by Frank Bottone, a licensed dietitian and author of numerous academic research papers and health-related articles in medical journals and magazines.
Frank Bottone says that "the key to weight loss is good nutrition and the key to good nutrition is education". He emphasizes that while many of the latest diet plans do focus on educating dieters they are often too complicated or overly scientific, which makes them impossible to follow.
The Diet Denominator addresses this by providing dieters with any easy to use food evaluation tool that makes it simple to select foods that will support your weight loss goals.
The Diet Denominator is based on the principle of Volumetrics, which involves selecting foods that have a high volume but a low amount of calories.
In this approach it is not the amount of food you eat that is important but rather its energy density. As such by using this method you can eat the same or even more volume of food as usual, while consuming fewer calories.
The foundation of the plan is the Diet Denominator tool, which makes it easy to choose low energy foods. Using this tool foods are categorized on a scale between 0 and 9, where the foods with the highest energy density have the highest value on the scale. For example, butter has a score of 9 and water has a value of 0.
Bottone explains that the average value of ordinary food items from the grocery store is about 2.5. If you want to lose weight your goal is to consume foods that are at or below this volumetric.
If you feel the need to eat something outside of your volumetrics diet plan, or if you are in a situation where there are limited food choices, you are advised to select a food that is closest to a Diet Denominator value of 3. In this way you won't cause major damage to your progress.
Fruit, vegetables, turkey, tuna, trout, lean beef, chicken, eggs, avocado, pinto beans, brown rice, pasta, oatmeal, cottage cheese, low-fat yogurt, reduced-fat sour cream, instant pudding, ketchup.
The Diet Denominator involves a food evaluation system based on volumetrics and does not address exercise.
The Diet Denominator: Fill Your Tank for Less. A practical guide to choosing low energy density foods retails at $14.95.
Encourages the intake of foods that are high in nutrients and low in calories.
Flexible and allows dieters to choose food according to their preferences.
Not overly restrictive and can be adjusted to suit individual needs.
No need to count calories.
Includes a list of fast foods with a Diet Denominator below 2.5.
Author's website has an online tool to help you calculate the volumetrics of foods.
Volumetrics concepts are based on scientific research.
Author is a qualified nutritionist.
Requires time to be spent on calculating and planning daily food intake.
Encourages the consumption of fast foods.
Emphasizes volumetrics above the nutritional value of food.
Does not address the psychological factors involved in weight management.
The Diet Denominator is based on the principle of Volumetrics, which makes it easy for dieters to consume fewer calories while at the same time eating foods that make them feel satisfied.
While some attention is given to food quality in the book, the Diet Denominator score is emphasized rather than the nutritional quality of the food. For the most part the foods with a low score are also generally high in nutrients such as fruit and vegetables, however it is possible for less healthy foods, such as low-fat ice cream and fast food nachos, to have an acceptable score in this system.
If dieters remain aware and make healthy choices, a volumetrics based diet can be a sustainable lifestyle plan that will enable dieters to lose weight and improve their health.
Volumetrics is a term coined from the book The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan : Feel Full on Fewer Calories by Dr Barbara Rolls and Robert Barnett. This book was first published at the end of 2000 but continues to be popular to date.

Q: Total size of page tables vs page table size I am given a virtual memory system with 32 bit addresses
I have 2 scenarios, one using a pure paging system and another using a two-level paging system
I am asked to determine the "What is the page
table size if the page size is: 1KB, 4KB, 1MB?"
1kb: 2^32 / 2^10 = 2^22
4kb: 2^32 / 2^12 = 2^20
1MB 2^32 / 2^20 = 2^12.
I can then determine the memory size by taking 4*the page table size for each answer respectively.
The second scenario gives me:
two-level paging  The First level page level table has 1024 entries. What is the total size of the page tables for a page size of a) 1K b) 1 M
is the total size of the page tables the same as the size of the page table?  if not can anyone point me in the right direction?

U.S. officials will negotiate a new security deal with Mexico during talks Friday
By Jaclyn Diaz
Published October 8, 2021 at 5:21 AM EDT

Secretary of State Antony Blinken will lead high-level security talks Friday with Mexican and U.S. officials.
Senior members of the Biden administration will meet with their Mexican counterparts in Mexico City on Friday to discuss overhauling an existing security arrangement between the two nations.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will lead high-level security discussions between the two nations.
"The United States and Mexico recognize the need to adapt our bilateral security cooperation to address the concerns and priorities of both governments," senior administration officials told reporters during a call on Thursday. "Our security challenges are shared and so is the responsibility for resolving them."
The focus of these talks will be over the multibillion-dollar Merida Initiative — a deal struck under the Obama administration in 2008.
These talks come as the U.S. and Mexico are dealing with an ongoing surge at their shared border as a result of migrants coming from farther south in Latin America and, most recently, Haiti.
The Merida Initiative sought to fight back against drug trafficking, cartels and violence on both sides of the border. But violence and homicide rates in Mexico have only gone up in recent years.
Since 2006, crime-related violence has resulted in an estimated 150,000 deaths. By 2016, drug-related homicides had increased by 22%, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
With that in mind, both U.S. and Mexican officials say it's time to hash out a new security deal.
"After 13 years of the Merida Initiative, we're really due for an updated look at bilateral security cooperation across the full range of issues and concerns for our governments and our peoples," an administration official said.
Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard told reporters this week: "In matters of security, there has to be a new chapter."
What is the Merida Initiative?
The Merida Initiative, through programs, training, and funding, sought to boost efforts to stop the flow of weapons, money and drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Both nations attempted to strengthen and modernize border security to curtail the illicit business and illegal migration. The programs offered by the initiative also helped train Mexican law enforcement agencies and provided training and assistance to the offices of the country's state attorneys general.
Despite this, the narcotics trade, violence and border issues are still problems both nations are dealing with 13 years on.
One Biden administration official told reporters: "But that was — even that breadth of activities is much, more narrow than the things we're looking at in the U.S.-Mexico Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health, and Safe Communities, and expanding to that broader area is what we're doing now, is building on the work that we have done in the past and bringing it into a modern era to deal with the realities that we face."
Details of what this new security agreement may look like are vague ahead of the meeting Friday.
The new security cooperation has a lengthy name, though: the U.S.-Mexico Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health, and Safe Communities.
Administration officials during the call with reporters Thursday said the new plan will "make clear the commitment of both countries, of course, especially the United States in this regard to work, to deal with the flow of arms into Mexico."

The state of Wisconsin permits 400 foot tall turbines to be sited 1000 feet from the homes of non-participating residents. Towns and counties can adopt stricter standards provided it can be demonstrated the health and safety of the residents might be at risk. As of March, 2009 there is pending legislation which would strip towns, villages and counties of the ability to create more protective ordinances than those approved by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC).

The person that gets this as a gift will have to solve the puzzle before opening! Pretty sweet way to add fun to a gift card present.
The Gift Card Puzzle Vault isn't really all that difficult, but it *is* rather inexpensive at under $5. We're not sure but we imagine it'sa gift that can keep on being regifted, eclosing multiple different gift cards in its lifetime.
"People give me gift certificates as gifts. I think a gift certificate is a bad gift. What's a gift certificate? You take money that was good everywhere and you ruin it. Just give me the twenty, that was a universal gift certificate."
But we'll take either. And gift certificates are kind of cool. Like a suggestion of generally what to spend money on, y'know? Like if you got money, you'd never think to go to that certain place. The gift card says, hey, I think you'll like something from this place - do yourself a favor and pick something out from here, don't just spend money on gas, cigs, booze, rent, etc., get YOURSELF a gift.
Or you could use it to simple hold cash and give everyone that universal gift certificate of fiat currency!

The Dig For Victory Show 2020 will be our 6th year and our wonderful event has gone from strength to strength. The show organizer, James Shopland, is a historian with a passion for military vehicle restoration. In 2009 James worked with former employees of The National Trust, putting on an event which told the story of the Tyntesfield Estate, Wraxall during WWII, through the use of historical testimonies and artefacts from the Shopland Collection.
James recognised the enthusiasm of the general public to learn about Britain in the 1940s or as it was known, the Home Front. With the support of friends and family the event took on its own momentum. More volunteers came on board and by early 2014 a community interest company, a not for profit organisation, was formed with the aim of putting on an affordable, family orientated event to explore this turbulent and thought provoking period in our recent history.
We are a group of volunteers of mixed ages and backgrounds, united in our understanding of the importance of heritage, community and education. We want to share our enthusiasm and excite young and old minds alike and the Dig For Victory Show aims to bring history alive and the generations together to learn remember and have fun. We also aim to raise money for local and national charities that support those in need across all the generations.
It is rare to find events and attractions attended by three generations of a single family. Our event is designed to allow the generations to find some common ground and we believe this is hugely important for community cohesion, promoting understanding and respect towards the older people in our community.
The Western Branch of the Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society (IMPS) has been at the heart of this event since the very beginning. The Dig For Victory Show is proud of its links to the IMPS and indebted to the club for its on-going support.
We hope The Dig For Victory Show gives you as much pleasure as it gives us.


Whenever bronchitis strikes, prepare a solution of equal quantities of fresh orange juice and warm water. Continue sipping this particular solution each 2 hrs, until the symptoms subside. Bronchitis is a medical problem in which the air passages of the lungs grow to be swollen as a result of irritation through an external stimulus. It may also be a extra manifestation of cold or flu that can be caused because of viral infection. Bronchitis is also referred to as chest cold.
Following cleanliness as well as cleanliness can prevent infections to a large degree. Next, immunizations also protect against attacks. It is believed that particular herbs help for bronchitis. Nevertheless, ensure you talk to your doctor before following any treatment or natural remedies.
Alcohol also dehydrates the body and causes it to be shed essential fluid by the way of urination.
Simply by losing water, the mucus is likely to become plumper as well as tougher and hence, hard to pay out.
Therefore, alcohol has to stay on the shelf while you recover.
Viral infections can not be taken care of by antibiotics. Drinking lots of water as well as taking full rest is the most common and beneficial treatment method. Secondly, you may need to look for ways to reduce mucous formation in the lungs. Looking for hot water bath and inhaling steam can help clear the nose and airways. The doctor will even prescribe medication to take care of cough as well as other signs. If struggling with bronchitis, you should stay away from exposure to very cold climate because it can lead to clogging of nasal.
Refined sugar is actually bad for bronchitis. Products like syrupy beverages, carbonated liquids, sugar-laden cereals, syrups, candies, chocolates, or cooked items, such as cakes, brownies, muffins needs to be just averted.
The severe form of bronchitis is usually not serious, and relatively easy to fix. The signs and symptoms may last for about 12-15 nights. As opposed to that, in the case of chronic bronchitis, cough, along with sputum, can continuously continue for ranging from A few months to 24 months. The symptoms may become non-reversible, and also the problem will be termed as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The following sections of this article, we will explore the various possible causes of dry cough in children as well as adults, together with treatment options.
Pets in vicinityPost sinus dripAirborne infectionsChain smokingCommon coldLow humidityAsbestosisLaryngitisAllergiesAsthmaTracheitisBronchospasmAcid refluxDry cough historyRespiratory infectionWeather changesExposure to be able to pollutantsChanges in Alternating current temp. Exposure to fumes or even chemicalsSide outcomes of specific medicinesViral infections- flu, pneumonia.
Acute viruslike bronchitis contagion period can be anything in between 1-4 days. It can be contagious as long as symptoms like cough are usually observed (as cough is actually the most common mode of virus transmission). On the other hand, microbe bronchitis is contagious only until one begins treatment. It is not contagious whenever a person starts a course of antibiotics.
Your already burdened heart has to defeat even quicker as well as work harder to function that additional blood. Now you get why high-salt merchandise is dangerous for your body when you are suffering a bout of bronchitis.
They offer no vitamins and minerals, suppress immune function, and often are a cause of weight gain, which may eventually lead to a lot more trouble inside inhaling and exhaling. Even though putting on weight might not be an overnight worry but it is advised that sufferers of bronchitis should retain a check on their weight, and not allow it boost.
Smoke of All Kinds: Very First, Second, or Third-Hand!
You have already heard this from almost everywhere, now read it again. Stop smoking! Especially if you are susceptible to bronchitis, or are suffering from that. Also, you should not allow anybody in order to smoke in your own home. It is named secondhand smoke. Smoking causes lung damage. Sounds clichd, but eventually that is the truth.
Please note that just about all the above mentioned drugs should only be used or consumed after consulting with the doctor and not without having to be recommended by these. Treatment should always be administered by an expert in the nebulization procedure. Nebulizer treatments for infants should be avoided to be undertaken in your own home even in which the mother and father are trained to do so. An immediate medical attention in the event of any complications could be better looked after at the hospital as compared to a domestic environment.
Usually, because it has been mentioned, chronic dry cough is a result of medical conditions that are long-lasting in nature. Thus taking the right treatment for the main cause, serves to resolve this problem automatically. So if you see your cough is just too stubborn to resolve on its own, and its affecting your slumber, then consider traveling to a doctor at the earliest.
Also, salty meals keep normal water in the bronchial tissues, which slows down the recovery from inflammation.
To avoid the extra burden on your heart and lungs, avoid salt.
Utilize normal herbs, such as lemon, pepper, oregano, thyme or basil because flavoring regarding your food.
We all love our French fries and burgers, but when you are down with bronchitis, you may unfortunately have to stay away from this. Fried chicken, spud chips, and red onion rings contribute just as in order to worsen the condition. However the that, fried foods contain oxidants, and are full of saturated fat. Both of them are not good for mucous reduction and expectoration, in addition, they supply no nutritional value.
This is really a bronchodilator once again that increases breathing by relaxing strained muscles in the airway and it is used for problems, such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis. As a general rule, when considering this kind of treatments, advise and discuss virtually any current problem with the doctor. For people that have a current health, the dosage would be adjusted accordingly. Xoponex is a common brand name associated with levalbuterol.
With new drugs entering the market on a regular basis, it is quite difficult to make a comprehensive list of the medications. Nonetheless, you can refer to the list below to be aware of the different kinds of medicines in which are used to treat respiratory disorders such as asthma. Nebulizer drugs are used to handle or to treat asthma consists of both anti-inflammatory medications that includes steroids and also bronchodilators. Do not panic with the term 'steroids', it is not the same steroids which are used by athletes and sports persons. These types of steroids just helps the patients to get relief clearing of the airways. Given below is the list of some of the common medications for asthma.
The treatment gets easy when the underlying cause may be determined, otherwise, it may not produce useful results.
For instance, in the event that asthma is the cause, next the patient would be treated with corticosteroids.
These types of drugs help in reducing irritation.
Nonetheless, their long-term use may give rise to certain side effects.
And if just in case, the condition turns to be idiopathic (having an unknown cause), then the treatment would strive for minimizing the symptoms.
The patient could be prescribed with a cough suppressant.
To conclude, I will only say that avoidance is preferable to cure.
When you still capture the bug, take lots of relaxation, proper medication, and prevent the meals mentioned above.

Explore Your Archive: People Stories – Emily Eavis
Audience Development Manager, Phillippa Heath, introduces a project in which local school students discovered how archives can be used to research fascinating lives.
As part of the Museum of English Rural Life's redevelopment, we are keen to reveal the hidden stories behind our collections. Over the Summer we were fortunate to welcome sixth form History students from The Abbey School to MERL on a two week placement. Working in groups, the students were set the challenge to explore the stories behind five fascinating women with connections to our collection. Using museum archives and objects, students researched into their lives and from this research wrote blogs which we are delighted to publish throughout this week. Our first blog written by the students presents the story of Emily Eavis.
Glastonbury, do you want to know what's behind it? Or should I say who?
Emily Eavis is the daughter of the founder of the famous Glastonbury festival. She has lived on the working farm which has been in her family for six generations and even to this day has 500 friesian cows, so please don't drop your litter! Her early life consisted of living on her farm and attending Wells Cathedral school – I bet she did well there! Later on she went to Goldsmiths college, then worked with Oxfam and Greenpeace doing various charitable work before training to become a teacher.
When she was younger, she had a love- hate relationship with the festival. Emily herself said "I couldn't understand why so many people were in our garden. It was like an invasion" and in 1990, when she was 10 "a row of people were hurrying towards the window with telegraph poles that were on fire. It was horrific." However, now she is older she loves working creatively with the festival especially "the frilly bits […] It's exciting. It's the best bit." Evidence of this is also present in Park Stage which she has curated since 2008 which has seen performances from artists such as Adele, Biffy Clyro and The xx.
She dropped out of her teaching training course to care for her sick mother (who she believed was the backbone of the festival), who died in 1999. To commemorate her death she threw herself into the festival with her father which began two months later, ensuring that she maintained the legacy her mother created. Since then she has not left and is more involved than ever and to this day she is the co-organiser of Glastonbury. Her charitable roots still shine through; in 2007 she donated 2million to various charities including Oxfam, Greenpeace and Wateraid along with local hospitals and schools and this to her "makes [the festival] worthwhile".
Glastonbury has changed significantly since Emily Eavis' early years. The festival attracts 150,000 people nowadays but in her time there was only 100's of people. Furthermore, the acts have changed, security has increased and it is as eco-friendly as ever. There is still some hostility towards Emily; who was sent death threats following the booking of Kanye West.
The festival is very much a family affair. Emily Eavis grew up in a farmhouse and now lives there with her husband and two sons, George and Noah. FUN FACT: George was born just weeks before the festival in 2010. She wants her children to have the same upbringing she had, saying "maybe one day it will be George living with his family in the farmhouse."

Moroccoʹs sentencing of Nasser Zefzafi
When civil liberties contract
The sentencing of a prominent opposition activist to jail long-term has shaken critics of Moroccoʹs government. Activists and analysts alike warn of ill omens for the countryʹs political trajectory. By Tom Stevenson
On 26 June, the leader of Moroccan anti-government protest movement Hirak al-Shaabi, Nasser Zefzafi, was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment after his arrest in May 2017 for "obstructing freedom of worship".
In total 54 anti-government activists were sentenced to lengthy jail time by a Casablanca court, with three of the most prominent of their number, in addition to Mr Zefzafi, handed 20 year sentences. Seven other protesters received 10 to 15 year sentences. Journalist Hamid El Mahdaoui also received a three year jail sentence.
Mr Zefzafi led large demonstrations in April 2017 in the city of Hoceima and the northern Moroccan Rif region against government corruption and inequality, demanding better hospitals, jobs and social support.
The protests originally came in response to the death of fish-seller Mohsen Fikri, who was killed in Hoceima when he refused to pay a bribe to a local official, who then ordered a garbage truck to crush him as he attempted to rescue his confiscated catch. Since then, an anti-government movement known as Hirak al Shaabi has challenged what it describes as the ruling eliteʹs huqra (contempt) and tahakoum (despotic rule).
Judicial proceedings "influenced by the government"
Mr Zefzafi has been imprisoned in Casablanca, outside of the Rif region, where he has been held for months in solitary confinement. He and the other political prisoners in Casablanca boycotted their later trial hearings, alleging that the judicial proceedings were being influenced by the government. As a result the prisoners were sentenced in absentia.
Anxiety growing among the Moroccan population: "the state has responded to the Hirak protesters not just with repression, but also with racist propaganda about the Rif and its people," says El Kahlaoui. "And this was a pacifist movement simply making basic social demands – where is the logic in this? Everyone here has begun to be afraid not only of arrest, but also of the political climate the state is creating"
"The sentence was pronounced without the prisoners or their families present; it was quite shocking," said Soraya El Kahlaoui, a member of the solitary committee with the Hirak prisoners, which works with the families of political prisoners in Casablanca, who attended the trial. "We had been preparing for the trial for a year, but when we heard the sentences we were traumatised," she added.
El Kahlaoui said Zefzafi and four other prisoners have refused to lodge an appeal against the convictions as part of their boycott of the legal proceedings and in protest against what they describe as an unfair trial. The detainees, who are held in Casablancaʹs Oukacha prison, have been on hunger strike since 29 June in complaint against prison conditions and the conduct of the prison authorities.

Justin Verlander Blames Outing On 'Bad Slider'
Oct 9, 2019 9:33 AM
The Houston Astros started Justin Verlander on three days' rest in Game 4 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.
Verlander had never started on such short rest following a full-length start in his long Major League career.
The Rays chased Verlander after 3 2/3 innings in Game 4. He allowed four runs -- three in the first inning -- and seven hits, including two home runs.
"Bad slider. Inconsistent control," Verlander said. "I felt like the velocity was there, but the control wasn't and the slider wasn't. Mix that in with a good approach [from the Rays] in the first."

Muskrat Falls is all about power: Morning File, Monday, October 24, 2016

"An ongoing blockade against the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador took a dramatic turn on Saturday as land protectors stormed and occupied the Muskrat Falls work site itself," reports Justin Brake, editor of the Newfoundland and Labrador Independent:
As about 200 people gathered at a Nunatukavut rally early in the afternoon, about 60 land protectors cut the lock on the site's gate and entered the site.
Led by residents of Rigolet who said they were defending their food and way of life, they were joined by several trucks including one driven by the mayor of Cartwright.
The land protectors who entered the site included Elders, children and even one Anglican minister.
Once at the site, the land protectors shook hands with Nalcor energy workers who had been flown in by helicopter in an effort by Nalcor to circumvent the blockade.
Innu Elder David Nuke was among those who occupied the site.
While Nalcor issued a statement expressing concern for the safety of everyone at the site, Nuke emphasized the protest was a peaceful, non-violent one. As rumours spread that RCMP tactical units were on their way, Nuke and other Elders instructed those present in how to respond in a non-violent manner to possible violence from the RCMP.
"Let them do their violence. Don't fight back," Nuke instructed a crowd in the site's cafeteria.
"Even if they body-slam me down on the cement, don't you guys go yelling," explained another land protector.
Brake is giving continuous updates on the situation via his Twitter account and is posting new articles at The Independent as he writes them.
The Independent has also premiered St. John's musician Liz Solo's video "Everything is Leaking," about Muskrat Falls:
It is inarguable that climate change needs immediate attention and that we cannot get off fossil fuels quickly enough. But we should ask ourselves the question: How did we get in this predicament in the first place?
In large part, it was simple ignorance: we didn't know, or we chose to ignore, that burning fossil fuels would bring about cataclysmic changes to our atmosphere and oceans.
That's not the entire story, however. Each step of industrialization and the building of the fossil fuel economy was and is accompanied by brute force. Mining fossil fuels, burning them, and dumping the waste emissions is a kind of brute force — economists can discuss externalities, but we all know that we can't simply dump our waste on our neighbours and be done with it. Everything has consequences, and to ignore the consequences of fossil fuel emissions is a brutal assault on our neighbours and our world.
Beyond that, the mechanics of burning fossil fuels always involves brute social and political force. Burning fossil fuels is necessarily a top-down social arrangement, starting with the oil and coal being mined from the ground. The Cape Breton coalfields were never a worker's paradise, just as the modern-day Canadian-managed Columbian coalfields are dependent upon the exploitation and abuse of local people. Westray-style mine disasters don't just happen; they occur because mining profits are valued more than the lives of the miners, and that equation translates into how mines are (mis)managed and (under)regulated for worker safety. Likewise, increased yields from fracking earn enormous profits for capitalists, but landowners and well users have no power to restrict or even regulate the drilling — they are forced to accept it.
The transport and burning of fossil fuels also involve top-down political decision-making, as generating facilities are forced onto poor and politically weak communities. I could spend the rest of the day writing about the force involved in the use of fossil fuels… but it's important to note that these top-down political actions were and are always justified with rhetoric around virtue — this will provide jobs, cheap energy, etc. The greater good trumps any individual person's or community's objection. The powerful are virtuous.
So now that we're suddenly realizing we have to get off fossil fuels, how are we going about it? Yep, through a brute force, top-down political process. There's no room for democratic debate, or even dissent, from fishermen opposing tidal generation or Indigenous people objecting to the loss of their fish and water supplies.
The attitude is: You're going to have to accept what we're forcing down your throats because we are the virtuous, suddenly concerned about the burning of fossil fuels, which we had virtuously forced upon you before.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't have tidal generation or hydro power. I'm saying that in making this transition off fossil fuels, we also have to radically alter our social and political relationships.
2. Examineradio, episode #84
Economist Jordan Brennan
Jordan Brennan is an economist with Unifor and a Visiting Research Fellow at Harvard University. In a recent report, he trashes the Nova Scotia Liberal government's neoliberal austerity agenda. He argues that cutting government spending when the private sector is also belt-tightening is exactly the opposite of responsible economic stewardship.
Also, we speak with four of the newly-elected city councillors: Lindell Smith, Lisa Blackburn, Shawn Cleary and Richard Zurawski. Each talks about how they're gearing up for joining council, how they hope to address a living-wage ordinance, and which councillor they'd most like to job shadow.

3. Pride boycott
"Some members of Nova Scotia's LGBT community are boycotting Halifax Pride after growing tension within the organization in recent months," reports Rachel Ward for the CBC.
The decision to not ban a pro-Israeli table at next year's Pride celebration is the proximate cause of the boycott call, but divisions within Pride have been widening for several years, as some feel that more marginalized segments of the community have been further pushed to the sidelines as Pride becomes more mainstream.
1. McNeil targets carbon tax

In an op-ed written for Local Xpress, Joanne Light points out the Stephen McNeil's anti-carbon tax positioning comes along with significant bureaucratic restructuring:
Before Diana Whalen was abruptly removed from the provincial finance portfolio in 2014, she conducted nine public sessions called "Let's Talk Taxes" across the province. The idea was to test the public's tolerance for certain tax reforms. One of the questions was whether Nova Scotians would accept a carbon tax. The answer was mostly favourable, as long as it didn't punish low-income households.
Not only was Whalen ushered out of Finance, but in 2015, the whole "Climate Change Nova Scotia" division in the Department of Environment was put on the back burner, if not eliminated altogether.
They still have a website and phone number, but list no staff. The last report for the division's "Climate Change Adaptation Fund" program — launched in 2010 to support communities in identifying and assessing the threats and opportunities related to climate change and to build Nova Scotia's capacity to adapt to new and different climatic conditions — was in 2014.
It seems the Nova Scotia government is now in the clutches of climate-change deniers, but wait, there's more. The executive director of that division, the highly qualified environmental science graduate, Jason Hollett, went with his boss, then environment minister Randy Delorey, to the Finance Department where Delorey took over as minister from Whalen. Hollett's title now — wait for this — is executive director of corporate strategic initiatives! A top climate-change professional is now using his skills and our taxpayer dollars to develop strategies for corporations.
I remind readers that "corporate" has a different meaning in bureaucratese — in this case the corporation is the government itself, not private and publicly traded corporations out there in the world — but Light's observation stands all the same: Stephen McNeil has apparently either killed or defanged Climate Change Nova Scotia.
Further, according to a private message sent from Andrew Younger to Light, which she then forwarded to me, the premier is at the same time building a new bureaucratic structure to combat a carbon tax. "McNeil is using the Finance unit to come up with ways to argue against any form of carbon pricing," writes Younger. "They tried to keep the existence of the unit secret, but everyone is on secondment (such as Jason [Hollett])."

3. Cranky letter of the day
To the Cape Breton Post:
I've been feeling saddened, ashamed and disgusted in the aftermath of the Thanksgiving Day flood that struck parts of CBRM.
I've been living in Cape Breton for a little over a year. I moved here from Toronto to start a new life and work career. When I first heard about heavy-garage pick up I was impressed that a community would clean up old and unused belongings for free once a year (something unheard of in Ontario).
On Oct. 10, my basement apartment, along with the basements of thousands of others, was severely flooded and damaged. We all lost many valuables, expensive equipment and personal belongings.
Despite my husband and I leaving our home in Glace Bay for three days with no power, heat or hot water, we felt immensely blessed to still have a basement that can be repaired and insurance that will cover the cost. Others are not so fortunate.
I understand that some people make a living by collecting old, useless and/or discarded 'junk' (as some people call it) to take home, rebuild and then resell at value. I am not condoning or bashing this in any regard. I can actually admit that I have done this at certain points in my past.
The real disturbance, however, is that people are driving through neighbourhoods to take the belongings of others for their own personal benefit.
There are two reasons why this is not OK, the first being the obvious health hazard. Many curbside belongings are covered in mold and sewage. Though people may think some of it can be salvaged, it still poses an increased threat of waterborne diseases such as the typhoid, respiratory issues and many others. This is how diseases start and an epidemic of sickness begins.
We need to heed the advice of our health-care authorities and leave the contaminated belongings to be transported by the authorities to a safe place.
Secondly, the junk you see on the curb is not junk at all. It is your great grandmother's quilt, the dresser an uncle made you on your 10th birthday, the hockey trophy you won from your first playoff season, your college diploma or the albums of photo memories kept away in a box for safekeeping in your basement. It's a person's story and a piece of their history that was destroyed.
I understand that 'stuff' can be replaced and we can't take 'stuff' with us when we die, but let's be more respectful of our neighbours. Let's not just look at their curbside belongings as 'stuff' but rather the immense sense of loss and grief they must be experiencing. Let's reach out to help our fellow neighbour instead of being greedy and taking away.

The De Rham complex (4:30pm, Room 319, Chase Building) — Kristine Bauer, from the University of Calgary, will speak on "Calculus of functors and the De Rham complex." Her abstract:
The calculus of functors, pioneered by Goodwillie in the 1980's, refers to a way of examining functors which topologists and algebraists often use to distinguish and classify algebraic or topological objects like algebras. The De Rham complex of a commutative algebra over a field, the algebraic analogue of De Rham cohomology of a manifold, is precisely one of these functors. The De Rham complex is closely related to cohomology theories for non-commutative algebras, such as cyclic (co)homology and crystalline cohomology. Goodwillie and Waldhausen observed that the De Rham complex can be thought of as Taylor tower, in the sense of functor calculus, of a certain forgetful functor. Making this observation precise lead my coauthors (Eldred, Johnson and McCarthy) and me to develop a new kind of functor calculus tower. In this talk, I will explain how this new tower works and how it recovers the De Rham complex, and how this suggests another possible model for functo! rs related to non-commutative algebras.

Peter Ziobrowski says
westray didn't happen because of profits, it happened because of jobs.
the province needed the mine to provide jobs, and didn't want to do anything to jeopardize that. that included lax safety inspections.
NS governments are so desperate to provide jobs in rural areas that they push through and support dubious schemes against any rational concern for other effects.
look at the forest management – companies who need hardwood cant get it, because we just want softwood to burn in biomas or pulp.
Robert McGrath says
The jobs/profits/safety at Westray are linked together. You can't separate them.
As far as biomass, we burn everything. Softwood is required by PHP and NP mills.
Colin May says
Workplace safety is as much a personal responsibility as it is a corporate responsibility. Stuffing rags in safety alarms is not an action of managers, directors or owners. At Westray one miner being well aware of the dust and the dangerous conditions told friends at a residence that if the mine blew they were to make sure they told the public about the conditions in the mine.
Last week was the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster in Wales where a coal mine spoil tip slid down the hill and killed 116 children in a school as well as 28 adults. The mine was government owned and the dangers of the tip were well known.
" n an article about "the terrible story of Aberfan", Huw Edwards reminded readers of the Sunday Telegraph that it "was a man-made disaster".
He was marking the 50th anniversary of the colliery tip collapse in the Welsh village that cost the lives of 116 children and 28 adults on 21 October 1966.*
In so doing, he argued that the lessons of Aberfan "are still of profound relevance today" because "they touch on issues of public accountability, responsibility, competence and transparency".
One of those issues relates to the media, specifically the failure of national newspapers to hold to account the state-owned National Coal Board (NCB) and its high-handed chairman, Lord (Alf) Robens.
His conduct, wrote Edwards, "was, by general consent, thoroughly reprehensible". He tried to avoid blame for the tragedy, lied to the tribunal of inquiry and refused to pay for other dangerous tips to be cleared.
Edwards wrote: "Those in charge of a public body found liable for a disaster on this scale would be justly denounced, vilified and prosecuted. There would be charges of corporate manslaughter brought".
At the tribunal, the NCB's lawyers argued that the collapse was due to a "critical geological environment" and insisted there was no way of knowing that a slide was foreseeable "
https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2016/oct/17/aberfan-how-a-gullible-and-deferential-press-failed-the-victims
At the time I was with many Welshmen and that event cannot be forgotten.
Safety is personal responsibility, but there are limits to that. Particularly when a company and/or government lie to you about the hazards you are exposed to. Corporate culture is integral in successful safety programs. The government and their lackeys are essentially worthless.
In my experience, safe job sites are ones where workers get fired for safety violations. We can do better than self-preservation.
I've been on a job site where a person died due to violating safety rules (he fell about 60′ onto concrete while working without fall arrest gear next to an open hole). Fortunately, I didn't witness it, or have any relationship with the unfortunate, but at least the company I was working with and the project managers were not culpable in his death, which is a massive improvement over the way things were pre-ww2.
A lot of social progress (especially workers rights) in the 50's and 60's was partially the result of elite concern about the armed, trained and experienced workforce returning from ww2, and ironically, many of the same socialist policies that fuelled Hitler's rise to power got implemented just about everywhere in the industrialized world to prevent a putsch.
Pretty funny stuff today. Jordan Brennan is employed by the same company that is the direct benefactor of the destruction of those Cape Breton Highlands pictured above. Thanks for the financial report though!!!

I grew up in an area of Canada where hydroelectric power was cheap and plentiful and renewable.
There are many pluses but it would appear that nothing changes when it comes to first nations concerns.
Hydroelectric power should be clean, renewable and moral. All people affected by such development should be heard. It seems for Muskrat Falls, unsurprisingly, that has not been the case.
tymbernz says
Word up here is that the moose culls in the highlands national park are a result of the clear-cutting of the Margaree watershed over the last 15 years. Their habitat was slowly destroyed so they moved North.

FLORIDA BEACHFRONT HOME – SANIBEL ISLAND
Swipe or drag to view next and previous. Tap to read about the images.
The new home required:
that all rooms have a view of the Gulf of Mexico,
that it be compact enough for it to be intimate but large enough to allow privacy,
that it convey a relaxed, informal and contemporary aesthetic, and
that it comply with the strict light obstruction, zoning and environmental restrictions of Sanibel Island, the Florida DNR and FEMA
The owners selected a narrow lot along West Gulf Drive situated with long views to the west across the protected coastal conservation zone of the neighboring properties and expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
The house is constructed on 55 foot-deep auger cast piles, and a reinforced concrete substructure. The new structure re-established the original contours of the dune where the earlier home and pool had been excavated into it. The entire lower level is enclosed with break-away walls designed to relieve pressure from high water during extreme weather events.
The lower level includes a garage for two cars and an entrance hall with stair and elevator. Large south-facing glass on the first floor allows daylight to reach the bottom of the stairs. As one ascends, a view of the Gulf of Mexico reveals itself. The first floor includes continuation of the stair to the second floor, a study, powder room, master suite, kitchen, combined dining and living room, a screened porch and service spaces.
Morning sunshine streams into the kitchen through a large east-facing window. Each room opens onto the terrace which then steps into a hot tub and a pool. The water level of the pool is set flush with the deck and disappears over the far edge.
The second floor includes two guest bedroom suites with vaulted ceilings and high windows and an outdoor deck that provides elevated views of the Gulf and sunsets.

Inexpensive, sturdy, smooth and practical Base bed with 2 drawers.
This sturdy Storage Bed base is a practical solution for your Mexico bedrooms and Mexican rental properties. In Mexico, mattresses sit directly over bed bases. Box springs are not really customary or necessary, as the solid wood provides ample support for the mattress. This carefully constructed Storage Bed Base is made of kiln dried solid pine, the stain is applied by hand, it is then sanded and waxed until a lovely warm patina and durable finish are achieved. Some builders are now constructing concrete platforms in Mexican Expat homes, so that mattresses can just be placed on the concrete platform. This bed base improves the breathability of your mattress in Mexico and helps avoid humidity and wear and tear issues. Also, you save money when you don't have to buy box springs. If you would rather still have a box spring, we are happy to quote it and procure it for you. Our Mexico hand crafted base bed features smooth finish, beautiful warm solid pine and 2 drawers with convenient storage to help you stay organized. These storage bed bases are your most inexpensive bedroom option in Mexico. Please keep in mind that our artisans do not attach the headboard of your choice to the bed base. The headboard rests on your wall, while the storage bed base is free standing. Available in medium or dark chocolate stain to match a variety of bedroom ensembles.

Popular Maine Swimming Hole Closing To The Public Amid Overcrowding Concerns
Instagram via ohhbraandonn
It's been an incredibly hot summer in Maine and when the temperatures rise, people start looking for places to cool off. But because there's a global pandemic that has left some water parks, beaches and even some friend's pools closed for the summer, people have had to look elsewhere to get their swimming fix in. Unfortunately, the trust that takes care of one swimming hole in Newry has decided that there's too many people visiting this summer.
Shared on Facebook by Mahoosuc Land Trust, they've announced that the popular swimming hole Step Falls will be closing to the public on August 8th until after the conclusion of the Labor Day holiday on September 7th. The Trust, which looks after Step Falls Preserve, outlined their decision saying that too much overcrowding has taken place at the preserve with little to no social distancing taking place to keep everyone as safe as possible. Additionally, on some of the hottest weekends this summer, visitors to Step Falls have parked illegally along Route 26 as well as neighboring lawns. Those two major factors led to the decision of Mahoosuc Land Trust to shut down access to Step Falls for the next month.
How this closure will affect some of Maine's other terrific swimming hole areas is unknown at this time. August is traditionally Maine's hottest month, meaning people are likely going to continue to search for ways to cool off. With the closure of Step Falls, the hope is that it could serve as an awakening to visitors that they need to be smarter and more diligent otherwise additional swimming holes could close in the future.

Bridging the gap between stochastic analysis and numerical simulations.
Mathematical models to describe natural phenomena are often based on partial differential equations. The inputs to the equation, such as coefficients, boundary or initial conditions, the data or the domain itself may not be known a-priori. Insufficient or imprecise measurements have to be accounted for when the model is supposed to be realistic. The equation itself could, further, be chaotic. Stochastic partial differential equations account for all sorts of uncertainties and chaotic behaviour. The aim of the group is to investigate solution concepts for stochastic partial differential equations, analyse solutions and invent numerical methods to approximate solutions, hence, bridge the gap between stochastic analysis and numerical simulations. The methods developed have applications in various natural and engineering sciences.


Subject: I hate vacationing players!
Every damned year, all my multi-player HIS and VQ games come to an abrupt halt in July/August. Anyone not on vacation want to play some WaWa? I'll take either side, but insist that we swap files to keep things on track. I use CB for this. I'm happy to make the files every round as long as you download them occasionally to ensure we haven't strayed too far from the intention.
When I'm on vacation, I take my laptop and after the kiddos go to bed in the motel, I pull it out and make my Vassal plays.
Sorry I can't play you. I'm in 16 Vassal games right now. I need a vacation.
16! Are you insane? I've had as many as 6 of HIS and VQ with 2 WaWa games going for 14, and that was taxing (when the were all active). 16 WaWa is nuts.
I'm not in 16 WaW games right now. The most I ever did in it was 3 at the same time.
And yes, I am quite insane.
You guys are nuts! 2 games at once I can handle, 3-4 starts overwhelming me.
But I'm only in one VQ game at the moment, so yeah, I'll play WaWa.

I'm back, though you probably aren't too excited to finish that one.
ouch. It's true, I can't seem to beat you. But then again, I'm almost always Brits with you. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!
Wasn't referencing you specifically. It's just that the majority of my pbem games are multi-player and they almost all stutter to a halt this time every year. Already played a WaWa game on side(only went 2.5 turns), but I need more games to fill my inbox.
Ah Cappocchi, I missed your positive response amid Green's good-natured taunting. Been awhile since I've seen you in a game. Have we played WaWa before? Which side you want?
Note to anyone else, I'm still open for at least one more game of WaWa.
Yes, long time no "see"! You'll have to include me in your next big game. We haven't played any WaWa - I want Brits, since I've played mostly the rebel scum in FtF games.
Yeah, I'm down to 1 HIS and 2 WaWa. I'd be up for more, I like your idea for a HIS tourney, I'm finally starting to get it.
Ugh, wish I was just a tad closer I'd come play in person!
I went on a work trip (not really a vacation) and played Washington's War while out there. So I'm opposite man!

Q: Dragons in the Fall of Gondolin and the War of Wrath In the War of Wrath, when the Valar, Elves and Men fought against Morgoth and his assembled forces

There Melkor releases his last and greatest force, the fleet of winged dragons, that had never been seen before

To my knowledge, the Fall of Gondolin happened before the War of Wrath, and yet in the Fall of Gondolin, dragons attack the city (apparently with Balrogs riding on them).
Were the dragons at the Fall of Gondolin wingless?

A: Yes; the dragons that attacked Gondolin were of the wingless variety, the spawn of Glaurung, the first dragon. From The Silmarillion:

and he loosed upon Gondolin his Balrogs, and his Orcs, and his wolves; and with them came dragons of the brood of Glaurung, and they were become now many and terrible.
...and there was no stay in the advance of the foe until they were beneath the very walls of Gondolin, and the city was beleaguered without hope.

If these dragons were capable of flight, the walls would have been irrelevent, and the city would not have been beleaguered but overrun.
The oldest form of the story the Fall of Gondolin was written in 1917, just a year after Tolkien had personally seen the first uses of tanks at the Battle of the Somme; the dragons in that story have always represented tanks, and were thus of the wingless variety.


honey lime enchiladas w/ Spanish coleslaw - On Sunday we had a Mexican feast at my mom + dad's home with all of our family and there was so much delicious food. I posted this for last Friday, but this recipe was so great that I made it again to take to my parent's house. We ate the same meal on Friday and Sunday. These enchiladas are that good. Definitely a new favorite recipe here.
sausage, potato and kale soup w/ whole wheat dinner rolls - I saw this recipe on Monday over at Pioneer Woman and it just sounded soooo good. This time of year, I could eat soup every night of the week. My family on the other hand, would get mighty tired of it. But, they enjoyed this soup very much. I should mention that I didn't use kale though. I wanted to, and next time I'm going to, but I didn't have any. I just added what I had in my pantry and that was corn. My family likes corn.
creamy chicken vegetable soup with wild rice & spinach salad - On Tuesday evening, I hosted bunco at our home and while my family all went different directions, I was cooking for my friends. I've made this soup before and it is delicious. Filled with veggies, shredded chicken, a creamy base and wild rice, it is very satisfying. Served with my favorite spinach salad and some bread, it's a perfect fall meal.
leftover night - Wednesday we had soup and enchiladas leftover from the previous nights. I LOVE leftover night.
roasted red pepper and basil pesto pasta w/ tossed green salad [pictured above] - Last night I tried a new recipe that we all LOVED. I have had a jar of roasted red peppers sitting in my pantry for a while and really wanted to use it up. I searched Pinterest for a red pepper pasta and found the perfect recipe. This pasta was creamy and full of flavor. I added grilled chicken for extra protein and didn't tell my kids what was in the sauce until after they tasted it and said they loved it. I got quite the look from Ethan when I told him the sauce was made from red bell peppers. Made my night!
chicken and sausage orzo w/ balsamic parmesan roasted cauliflower -Tonight I'm going to try a couple more new recipes and I'll let you know how they turn out. Both of these recipes look delicious and nutritious.
homemade pizza - Tomorrow night we've got a fun evening of bowling as a family. Before we go, we'll enjoy a favorite dinner of ours, homemade pizza. Not sure yet what kind it will be. We like pepperoni/pineapple, chicken pesto, and veggie combination.

Uganda's Outbox incubator shows phenomenal results in four years
By Graham van der Made: Staff Reporter
Read nextTop startup events in South Africa, Africa you should know about this week [15/08/2016]
"The launchpad for new ideas" is how Ugandan incubator Outbox is labelled as it has shown significant growth over the past few years.
Established in 2012, Outbox is one of the leading incubators in Uganda. It not only offers incubation and workshops on a variety of subjects, but also a co-working space. Outbox has tried out an programme for women, which proved successful.
"Our mission is to provide the entrepreneurship, innovation and technology infrastructure that supports African entrepreneurs," says founder, Richard Zulu, in a press release to Ventureburn.
In just four years, Outbox has housed 13 startups, raised over US$1-million in funding, and created 80 jobs. It has also seen over 7000 participants pass through its doors for in-house workshops.
Along the way, Outbox has partnered with Google and Seacom, and worked with the likes of MTN Uganda and Africa Broadcasting (U) Ltd.
Zulu founded the organisation and brought with him over six years of experience in the startup tech ecosystem and was also a Google Student Ambassador.
"It is estimated that more than 40,000 young people graduate from Ugandan Universities each year. Yet the market can provide only 8000 jobs. We strongly believe that the use of technology in various disciplines presents a great opportunity to alleviate Uganda's youth unemployment problem," he continues.
As mentioned earlier, one of the most interesting aspects of Outbox is its experiential Women Passion Programme (WOPA). This one-year initiative looked to equip women of all ages with human-centred design, lean startup methodology, leadership skills, and web programming. Out of the 75 girls trained, 15 received one-on-one mentorship from an unnamed global software firm, four received employment soon after its conclusion.

"One of my biggest dreams is having a large number of girls join the tech community and I'm delighted to be a part the Women Passion Program. The Women Passion Program has not only equipped me with technical and business skills, but also changed the way I view life," says software developer Emily Karungi, a participant of WOPA.
When it comes to startups, Outbox has two major success stories: Ensibuuko and Safeboda.
Safeboda is looking to change the taxi industry in Uganda. Even though the country has a market of motorcycle-based taxis, this startup is looking to unify them and provide additional training to its drivers. Customers are able to either hail a Safeboda motorcycle taxi and book one via their mobile app. At present, the company have over 1000 motorcycle taxis in Uganda.
On the other hand, Ensibuuko is a vastly different kind of tech startup. This company focuses on cloud-based management software for financial services, a far cry from delivering passengers. It supports over 80 savings cooperatives across the country and is working with one of the largest banks in the country to double the number of cooperatives reached.
It has also managed to raise over US$500 000 in investment and has won awards such as East African ICT4Ag hackathon, Sankalp Forum, and Unilever Sustainable Living.
"Outbox ensured that we did not burn out of resources, by introducing us to potential funding partners that enabled us to build a product, test the product, build our team and gain traction. Outbox helped us find our first funding at a very critical time," says COO of Ensibuuko, Gerald Otim.
Outbox also hosts regular events, such as web development bootcamps and market research.

Les éditions David R. Godine sont une maison d'édition américaine fondée à Boston, (Massachusetts) par David R. Godine, en 1970. La plupart des premiers titres édités sont des succès typographiques. Les éditions Godine sont depuis devenue une maison d'éditions généraliste cotée, ayant pignon sur rue. 20 à 30 titres paraissent chaque année, en une liste éclectique qui va de la littérature de fiction à des livres illustrés sur le jardinage. Les acquisitions sont dirigées selon les goûts de son président et fondateur, David R. Godine, toujours actif. Quelques-uns des premiers titres sont considérés comme des « collectors », comme les livres d'Arthur Freeman ou ceux d'Andrew Marvell.

Au fil des ans la maison d'édition et les auteurs ont reçu quelques récompenses de prestige : le Boston Globe Literary Press Award en 1987, le premier New England Booksellers Annual Award en 1989 et le W.A Dwiggins Award en 1994.

En 2002, John Martin vend par un « gentleman's agreement » sa maison d'édition Black Sparrow Press à David R. Godine. La transaction ne comprend pas les auteurs les plus prestigieux, Charles Bukowski, John Fante, Wyndham Lewis et Paul Bowles.
