Sunrise at Mount Warning – Story + Photos
Published on July 14, 2015 October 9, 2015 by Georgina AutonLeave a comment
If you do one thing in your life, go and see the sun rise at Mount Warning in New South Wales. A spontaneous trip down from Brisbane, we found ourselves on the road just after 1am. Stocked up on energy drinks, No-Doz, sandwich supplies and high-sugar lollies, we arrived just after 3:30am thanks to a little detour where we forgot to pay attention to the GPS.
9km return, supposed to take 5 hours. All we were worried about was beating the sunrise at 6:37am. Otherwise we would have just wasted a trip!
There was a subtle comradery as we trudged up the mountain. Calls of Cooooo-eeeee echoed in th darkness as we hiked with nothing but torchlight and the moon to guide us.
Mainly stairs, with some uneven rock surfaces and a scramble for the final section, this mountain isn't particularly tough to hike/climb (unlike Mt Tibrogargan on the Sunshine Coast!). However, it is long. The trek up took us just over two hours with breaks every so often to check out the view. If we were pushing, maybe an hour and a half would have been achievable.
I was very surprised to see that many people out so early (particularly the morning after State of Origin), and by the time the sun rose at the top a group of about 20 of us had gathered.
Winter, at Mt Warning, is freezing. The whole way up, the physical exercise combined with the leafy undergrowth had protected us from the freezing wind which buffeted the mountain. Despite wearing three layers on the top, two layers on the bottle and a beanie, I was still cold and wishing desperately that I had brought gloves and a scarf.
However, it was so worth it. Being the first to see the sun rise for the day out of the whole of Australia is a completely amazing experience. Despite next to no sleep, I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat (although maybe when it's slightly warmer next time!
The most interesting part of the trip, besides the sunrise, was possible encountering a cow loitering in the middle of the road (we were in the country I guess), or a warning sign which read: "CAUTION – Fruit Stall Ahead. Ah, road trips!

Cold Rock Goes Global
Published on May 6, 2015 November 14, 2016 by Georgina AutonLeave a comment
Iconic Australian ice-cream company Cold Rock goes international
Walking down the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, it's easy to spot the Western brands which have infiltrated this Vietnamese city.
With Baskin-Robbins frequenting street corners around the city, and foreign brands like McDonalds, KFC and Burger King interspersed frequently, it's easy to see why Ho Chi Minh City is fast becoming a metropolitan and culturally diverse city.
The streets are lined with foods representative of virtually every nation on the planet, and CEO of Franchised Food Company and Cold Rock, Stan Gordon, saw an opportunity in Vietnam.
"I visited Vietnam on a personal trip about a year and a bit ago," Mr Gordon said.
"And just in walking up and down the streets and just embracing Vietnam and the culture in Vietnam, I identified an opportunity to take the Cold Rock brand there.
"I think it's a very aspirational market."
Vietnam is the first stop for Cold Rock outside of its traditional Australian market. The Cold Rock brand is uniquely Australian owned and developed.
Mr Gordon said that originally, the plan was to export the finished ice-cream product to Vietnam, freighting the liquid and milk in frozen or refrigerated containers. However the cost, he said, was too great. But they found an interesting solution.
"We got one of our manufacturers to actually extract the liquid out of it," Mr Gordon explained.
"So we sent a powder base which is uniquely ours , not just a normal power, and we re-liquefy it in Vietnam" he said.
"We're importing it ourselves entirely."
Mr Gordon said that Cold Rock Vietnam has been adapted to suit the tastes of the Vietnamese people.
"Every country is different and every taste palate is different," Mr Gordon said.
He said that when other ice-cream companies export their product overseas, they leave it as it is, using the example of the difference in sweetness between American and Australia chocolate.
"We have actually modified the taste palate to the local market," he said, mentioning that there are different ice-cream flavours and confectionary mix-ins available in the Vietnamese stores.
"For example, the Vietnamese want a green tea flavour but not a very sweetened product.
"So we've actually had to adjust our recipes in Vietnam with Vietnamese experts until we get the right taste profile," Mr Gordon said.
For the purposes of research, we headed to Cold Rock inside the Lotte Cinema in Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon. Surrounded by other food outlets, and almost right beside a New Zealand Natural Icecream parlour, it did not look out of place.
It looked like any Cold Rock that you might come across in Australia, with a mixture of Vietnamese and English on the signs inside.
The sales assistant told us that he has worked there since December, when it opened, and that the two most popular flavours so far have been green tea and chocolate.
The most popular mix-ins have been the fruit jellies and chocolate rocks.
The Cold Rock brand is definitely an up-and-coming competitor in the Vietnamese ice-cream market, but Stan Gordon says that Cold Rock is more than just another brand of ice-cream.
"Cold Rock is not just ice-creameries; it's not just a dairy product," Mr Gordon said.
"Cold Rock is more confectionary that gets mixed with ice-cream, versus ice-cream that gets mixed with confectionary," he said.
When asked what the future holds for Cold Rock, Mr Gordon shared that Franchised Food Company have their sights set on Dubai for the next Cold Rock destination.
However, he said that the product will continue to be exported from Australia in the future and that that will not change.
"We will always export from Australia and we are very proudly Australian owned and operated," he said.
"It's an Australian concept with an Australian base, but it's made in Vietnam by Vietnamese using some Vietnamese ingredients."

HIV Stigma: Still at Large
Published on May 6, 2015 October 11, 2015 by Georgina AutonLeave a comment
The following article was first written in 2013 and last edited in early 2014.
The number of HIV cases has doubled in Queensland in the past 10 years and experts fear stigma surrounding the disease is contributing to the dramatic rise. Queensland Government health estimates show up to 1500 people could be infected with the disease across the state, but remain undiagnosed.
Medical officers say the negative stigma associated with HIV is discouraging people from being tested.
Global HIV advocate and British music legend, Sir Elton John, says the Queensland statistics are part of a wider global trend. He said he was not surprised, claiming stigmatisation and HIV go hand-in-hand.
Sir Elton said he first took up the HIV cause in the 1980s after Ryan White, a young haemophiliac from the USA, died from AIDS. Though Ryan had been contaminated through infected blood, he died 'amid a torrent of fear and prejudice', which made Sir Elton question the stigma surrounding HIV.
"Here was this kid, who had nothing but kindness and courage in his heart who was being vilified on a daily basis because he was HIV positive," he said.
"I knew there must be thousands of people getting sick and dying of AIDS, silently and in shame, because of the stigma of this disease.
"We must eradicate this stigma."
Ji Wallace, former Australian Olympic trampolining silver-medalist, said it was important to overcome the stigma.
Ji, who is openly gay, went public with his HIV positive status in 2012, and said that he made this decision because silence and fear still dominate HIV discussions.
"The first thing I wanted to do was scream at the world 'know your status'," he said.
"I was afraid people would treat me different.
"The stigma is where the fear lies," he said.
Queensland is the first state in Australia to implement rapid testing, with a result taking only 20 minutes instead of a few days. Normally, after a blood test the blood has to be sent away to be tested. This means that it can take up to a few days to get a result, however with rapid testing this process is dramatically shortened.
Nonetheless, the stigma surrounding HIV still prevents people from getting tested.
Dr Darren Russell, Chair of the Ministerial Advisory Committee for HIV and AIDS, says that combatting the negative beliefs is the key to beating HIV.
"One thing that we really need to do it try and break down that stigma because A, it's good for people who are living with HIV if they've got less stigma," Dr Russell said.
"And B, if there's less stigma…people are more likely to get tested, because they're not scared of finding out they have it to the same degree," he said.
Dr Russell said if Australians can be made more aware of HIV, they can take measures to prevent passing it on.
Sir Elton said that while ignorance is one of the things which has helped HIV to spread, the stigma is still the worst thing in regards to HIV.
"That's what stops people from going for an HIV test, or asking a partner to wear a condom, or disclosing their status," he said.
"This is not only the moral thing to do, it's also the smart thing to do if we want to beat the epidemic," he said.
Queensland Health Minister, Lawrence Springborg, established the Ministerial Advisory Committee for HIV and AIDS (MAC) in 2012 in order to address the rise in HIV cases in Queensland.
Mr Springborg says that in the time since its establishment, the MAC has yielded significant results.
"The MAC (sic) recently launched the E.N.D. H.I.V. campaign, which for the first time will address all angles, including education and awareness, stigma, testing, treatment and prevention," he said.
"This pioneering three year campaign is designed to change behaviours to help put an end to HIV in Queensland," Mr Springborg said.
Dr Russell said that the MAC is hoping that soon, fewer cases of HIV will remain undiagnosed.
"New South Wales [in 2012] showed a 25 per cent rise in diagnoses from the previous year and they're trying to figure out if it's just because there are new infections, or because they did a lot more testing and found a lot more people," he said.
"I hope the new diagnoses go up [in Queensland], but I hope the new infections go down," Dr Russell said.
Yet the humiliation caused by the HIV stigma is stopping people from getting tested.
Sir Elton said that the stigma surrounding HIV is one of the reasons why AIDS is so deadly.
"It has killed millions more than it ever needed to simply because it first came to light as being spread by unprotected sex in the gay community" he said.
"As the disease spread more widely around the world, 'HIV' became synonymous with promiscuous and amoral.
"This blamed and shamed people when we should have been focussing of (sic) love and treatment."
Last year's Australian of the Year, Ita Buttrose agrees. The HIV/AIDS advocator has been involved with many HIV and AIDS organisations in Australia since the 1980s, such as the National Advisory Committee on AIDS and the AIDS Trust Australia.
"I think I will always be involved in some way in the on-going fight against HIV and AIDS," she said.
Dr Russell describes celebrity involvement in HIV awareness and prevention as "fantastic".
"Anything that raises the awareness and keeps people thinking about it [is a good thing]," he said.
Nonetheless, Dr Russell says that the stigma might not be the only thing to blame for the increase in HIV cases in the past 10 years.
"I think that there are a few reasons for that," he said.
"There is some 'condom fatigue'; a lot of gay guys aren't using condoms the way they were in the past.
"HIV is a lot less threatening than it used to be. I think the terror that was there in the eighties and nineties has gone."
However, Dr Andrew Chester, a Queensland General Practitioner, says that an HIV positive diagnosis still causes negative reactions.
"Usually people are distressed with such information. Anger is generally a late stage reaction," he said.
"The prognosis for HIV has improved over the last 10 to 15 years but still the reality is a 'life sentence'.
"There is still great stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS- this does influence public opinion greatly."
Ji Wallace says that his diagnosis was a shock which caused him to revaluate his life. However, he dealt with his diagnosis head on due to his prior knowledge of HIV. He says that after his diagnosis, his head felt like it was going to explode.
"Many things in my life came into focus at the time of my quick test result," he said.
"It was six months before I could tell my parents face to face.
"That was all I really wanted to do," he said.
These days, Ji tries to ignore the stigma, and says that his support team help to prevent people from being discriminatory to him.
On a positive note, Professor Sharon Lewin from Monash University is currently researching possible cures for HIV. She started HIV research in 1993 and says medical care is advancing.
"At the time, we thought Anti-HIV drugs might cure HIV. Unfortunately, we were very wrong," she said.
"What the current drugs can't do is get rid of the last bits of virus that hide in resting immune cells.
"The drugs we are now testing to get rid of the 'hidden' virus can only be used in combination with current antiviral drugs."
Although HIV has not yet been cured, antiviral drugs have played a pivotal role in preventing the spread of HIV. Professor Lewin says that the ultimate goal for her research is to "have a functional cure for HIV that is available in all countries to all people- rich or poor".
Ji Wallace said that if he could speak to someone newly diagnosed with HIV, he would tell them that they will be ok. He said that huge medical advancements mean that people with HIV can live their life to the fullest.
"Educate yourself on HIV, get yourself on a treatment plan and go, go get the life you want," he said.
"You don't want HIV but if you find yourself with a positive diagnosis, you need to put together a plan to keep on living your life out there big and at its best."

PHOTO BLOG: Cruising the South Pacific

It took years to convince my parents to try something new – a cruise! In December 2014, we embarked upon a ten night journey aboard the Pacific Jewel, one of the P&O Australian ships.
We stopped at Noumea, Lifou, Port Vila, Mystery Island, and Isle of Pines and had a blast- both on board the ship and on land. Here are a selection of photos taken with my Samsung Galaxy S4. They have been mildy retouched with photoshop, and the photos of fish were taken with the same phone inside a Lifeproof Case.
We had an incredible time and would definitely do it again! Full blog post about the cruise coming soon…

There are two types of diagrams: symmetry diagrams and general-position diagrams. The symmetry diagrams show (1) the relative locations and orientations of the symmetry elements and (2) the absolute locations and orientations of these symmetry elements in a given coordinate system. The general-position diagrams show, in that coordinate system, the arrangement of a set of symmetry-equivalent general points and the relative orientations of magnetic moments on this set of points. Figs. 3.6.3.3 and 3.6.3.4 show the symmetry diagram and general-position diagram, respectively, of the three-dimensional magnetic space group P412′2′.
All diagrams of three-dimensional magnetic space groups and three-dimensional subperiodic groups are orthogonal projections. The projection direction is along a basis vector of the conventional crystallographic coordinate system, see Table 1.1 of Litvin (2013 ). If the other two basis vectors are not parallel to the plane of the diagram, they are indicated by a subscript p, e.g. ap, bp and cp. Schematic representations of the diagrams, showing their conventional coordinate systems, i.e. the origin O and basis vectors, are given in Table 2.1 of Litvin (2013 ). For two-dimensional magnetic space groups and magnetic frieze groups, the diagrams are in the plane defined by the group's conventional coordinate system.
The graphical symbols used in the symmetry diagrams are listed in Table 2.2 of Litvin (2013 ) and are an extension of those used in the present volume, IT E and Litvin (2008b ). For symmetry planes and symmetry axes parallel to the plane of diagram, for rotation-inversions and for centres of symmetry, the `heights' h along the projection direction above the plane of the diagram are given. The heights are given as fractions of the shortest translation along the projection direction and, if different from zero, are printed next to the graphical symbol, see Fig. 3.6.3.3 .
In the general-position diagrams, the general positions and corresponding magnetic moments are colour coded. Positions with a z component of +z are shown as red circles and those with a z component of −z are shown as blue circles. If the z component is either h + z or h − z with h ≠ 0, then the height h is printed next to the general position, see Fig. 3.6.3.4 . If two general positions have the same x component and y component, but one has a z component +z and the other −z, the positions are shown as a circle with one half coloured red, the other half blue. The magnetic moments are colour coded to the general position to which they are associated, their direction in the plane of projection is given by an arrow in the direction of the projected magnetic moment. A + or − sign near the tip of the arrow indicates that the magnetic moment is inclined, respectively, above or below the plane of projection.
For magnetic space groups of the type , the symmetry diagram is that of the group . That each symmetry element also appears coupled with time inversion is represented by a red printed between and above the general-position and symmetry diagrams. Because groups of this type contain the time-inversion symmetry, the magnetic moments are all identically zero, and no arrows appear in the general-position diagram. An example, the diagrams of the magnetic space group P41221′ are shown in Fig. 3.6.3.5 . For triclinic, monoclinic/oblique, monoclinic/rectangular and orthorhombic rod groups, the colour coding of the general positions is extended according to the positive or negative values of the x and z components of the coordinates of the general position, see Fig. 3.6.3.6 .
Diagrams of the magnetic space group P41221′.
General-position diagram of rod group 2.3.29 P2/c′11. The positional colour coding is red for x > 0 and z > 0; blue for x > 0 and z < 0; green for x < 0 and z > 0; and brown for x < 0 and z < 0.
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) general-position diagrams are available for the two- and three-dimensional magnetic subperiodic groups (Cordisco & Litvin, 2004 ), and for the one-, two- and non-cubic three-dimensional magnetic space groups (Burke et al., 2006 ). These diagrams can be rotated and zoomed in on to aid in the visualization of the general-position diagrams, and include both the general positions of the atoms and the general orientations of the associated magnetic moments.

Users of flying cutoff saws will appreciate the new nanocomposite PVD coating that Tru-Cut Saw, Brunswick, OH, is using to dramatically increase the life of circular saw blades. The new coating, called ViTA-Nano and developed by Tru-Cut's ICO Surface Coatings Division, is a proprietary combination of titanium, aluminum, aluminum-titanium, chrome and silicon. Unlike multilayer coatings in which each material is deposited consecutively, with ViTA-Nano all cathodes in the PVD chamber are turned on at once. This reportedly results in a more cohesive, harder coating.
Saw blades coated with the material will run a minimum of 30 to 50 percent faster, say company officials, with less scrap and increased production rates compared to AlTiN coatings. They're recommended for flying saw machines, re-cut machines and high-production sawing machines.
Tru-Cut Saw's ICO Surface Coatings Division offers PVD coating and recoating services for all types of new and used saw blades, tools and wear parts. Equipped with two state-of-the-art coating chambers and carrousels, Tru-Cut and ICO offers standard and special surface treatments using coating chambers capable of handling parts as large as 1250 by 700 mm.

Detroit Has Gone Bankrupt, But It's Not the First Place to Do So /
Detroit Has Gone Bankrupt, But It's Not the First Place to Do So
Leo Benedictus
Detroit has filed for bankruptcy. For the city that was once the centre of the planet's automobile industry and that gave us Motown and techno, it is the sad conclusion of a long decline. But it is not the end. Cities with 700,000 people living in them can't just be sold or abandoned, and many places around the world have been bankrupt before. Below are just a few examples:
Following flamboyant mismanagement of its public finances, in 1978 Cleveland became the first city in America to go bust since the Great Depression, earning it the nickname "The Mistake on the Lake". Since then, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a new stadium for the Cleveland Browns American football team have been built. Although the population continues to fall, it is beginning to rebrand itself as "Comeback City".
Akaike, Japan
In February 1992, 3.17bn yen in debt, Akaike became the first municipality in Japan to be declared bankrupt. A coalmining centre on the country's southern tip, it could not survive the gradual transition to oil and was finished off by the financial crash. A decade later, however, it was declared solvent again, following a period of central-government restructuring which raised taxes and cut wages and investment. Now the town has merged with several others to be reborn as Fukuchi, a small tourist centre noted for its mountain and its pottery.
A big southern Italian city with a long history of shipping and steelmaking, Taranto was nevertheless declared bankrupt in 2006 with debts of €637m. Its mayor, Rossanna Di Bello, was sent to jail. The city has also been called the most polluted place in western Europe, owing to the emissions from its factories, which continues to damage its reputation and threaten the jobs that remain.
When, in 1933, this Canadian province became crippled by war debts and the Great Depression, it found a solution that is probably not available to Detroit. It chose, effectively, to become a British colony again. The preferred term was "Commission Government", which meant that Britain took on responsibility for Newfoundland's debts, while a panel of British governors ran the place as they saw fit. Following a referendum, it became a Canadian province again in 1949.
This region of Alabama, which includes the city of Birmingham, was the largest local government municipality to become bankrupt before Detroit. That was only a year and a half ago, in December 2011, when the financial crisis brought an end to the county's struggle with $4bn worth of debts from corrupt deals to finance its sewers. At this stage, Jefferson's experience looks encouraging. It seems likely to agree a deal to repay its creditors a portion of what they're owed and exit bankruptcy before the end of the year.

"Candy cabbie" Mansoor Khalid
November 4, 2012 By mak3mirz
MEENA HART DUERSON
Now that's one sweet ride.
Taxi driver Mansoor Khalid is on a one-man mission to cheer up New Yorkers with a daily dose of candy.
"The New York life is not the easy life," Khalid, 36, told the Daily News. "People are depressed. I see a lot of people stressed sitting back there."
Khalid, who moved to New York from Pakistan in 1993 and has been driving a cab since 1997, had already seen the impact of small acts of generosity. During the two years he spent in the hospital with his son, he routinely brought coffee and desserts to the doctors and nurses when he got off his shift at 1 a.m.
"They got so happy when in the middle of the night I gave every person coffee," he said. "I was so nice to them and they were so nice to me."
"We encourage drivers to go the extra mile in the name of customer service, and Mr. Khalid certainly does this," said Taxi and Limousine Commission boss David Yassky. "We appreciate the loyalty he inspires in his passengers."
Loyalty isn't the goal, considering that Khalid responds to every hail, candy or no candy. His mission is to spread warmth.
"It's a little thing," he said, "but people get happy."

Chris Harrison on Reports Khloe Kardashian Was in Consideration to Be 'Bachelorette' (Exclusive)
By Jennifer Drysdale 6:00 AM PST, February 27, 2019
Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss may have been teasing fans with tweets that Khloe Kardashian would be the next Bachelorette, but Chris Harrison says there wasn't a chance.
ET's Lauren Zima spoke with the Bachelor host at the show's Women Tell All taping on Friday, where he commented on Fleiss' recent tweets.
"No. It is not breaking news. It's not Khloe Kardashian," Harrison insisted. "But I think everyone had a little fun with [the speculation] because obviously Khloe apparently went through a big breakup, I don't know if you heard."
"Kris [Jenner] is a dear friend of ours and a friend of mine and a part of Bachelor Nation, and there's a lot to it," he continued. "It probably wouldn't be the worst show. There's some compelling arguments to be made there, but no, [she won't be on the show]."
Kardashian, who split from boyfriend Tristan Thompson last week following rumors he cheated on her with Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods, took to Twitter on Saturday to shut down all that Bachelorette talk.
As for who is in the running, Harrison told ET that at this point, it's anyone's game.
"Honestly, I think you had 20 good candidates on stage tonight [at Women Tell All]. I can tell you this for sure: the decision has not been made. There is a raging debate going on behind the camera, in front of the camera. We are just like you guys," he shared. "We have our opinions."
"I'm fighting for my favorites, Mike Fleiss, Rob Mills, the producers, the network, everyone's got their favorites, and so we are all just battling, and we battle just like you," Harrison revealed. "So, we have a little bit of embarrassment of riches. There's some really strong, independent, amazing women that we can choose from."
The host compared the Bachelorette debate to Colton's appointment as Bachelor, noting that other contenders, Jason Tartick and Blake Horstmann, could have been just as great.
"With Blake or Jason, could we have been wrong? No, but it gives you a different show," he expressed. "So, what we're gonna decide is who's ready for this, who can handle it, who will make a really good TV show. And, by the way, I'm just gonna put this out there, whoever we choose is great. Whoever we don't choose, it's not that we don't love them, OK? Take it easy, social media."
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The Women Tell All special airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Join ET's Bachelor Nation Facebook group here.

Strömstad Food is a part of the Euro Cash chain and is the newest grocery store located on the border between Sweden and Norway. In addition to Euro Cash, both Maxi Food and Hypermat also have digital signage from ZetaDisplay.
For Strömstad Food it is important to provide good information to customers throughout the store. They use different formats (from video walls to small displays) and placements of displays together with tailored content to optimise the level of attention. They have tried different types of content and have now found the right content mix to really see the desired effects. Example of this could be the focus on the greatest offers in the store on the video wall by the entrance, or the inspiring and informative content in the fruit and vegetable department.
Strömstad Food believes that their investment in digital signage makes them stand out against their competition and it has created a modern look, which appeals to their customers.


The Eco Snug pocket mattress is from Eco Shire Range by Shire Beds Co. The 3000 pocket springs in this mattress all react individually to the pressure applied to each, so those that don't need to be depressed as much won't be meaning that the all over support they give is excellent.
The fillings in this mattress have all been treated with Ecoshield which makes them bed bug free, something that is especially important if you have children. The fillings are all natural and include wool, mohair, silk, horsehair and cashmere. These are not only extremely comfortable materials when worked into a mattress layer by layer but also very durable. These are then held in place with hand tufting, performed by expert craftsmen and a great way to ensure your mattress is of the highest quality.
The Shire Eco Snug mattress has all the ingredients necessary to ensure you can enjoy the most refreshing and enjoyable night's sleep possible.


We've recently completed work on an innovative sales solution for Hillam Architects, Edge Visionary Living and Blackburne Property Group. With the property market shifting pace in the past 12 months, new and engaging methods are being sought out to gain an edge.
We were asked to create a 'touch brochure' containing images and floorplan information for the Vantage Riversedge Apartments project in addition to developing the website itself. We went one further by linking both the website and the sales tool into one easy to use system which allows the sales team to update information, manage floorplan specifications and mark them as sold instantly; one system to manage both solutions.
The system also allows customers to search for the apartment they are looking for with powerful sorting tools for price ranges, bedrooms, car bays, bathrooms, mininum area and more.
Also if customers are interested, they're able to enter their details directly within the system which stores their enquiry within the Blackburne Property Group CRM.

Ali Malkawi and the energy-positive, living-laboratory HouseZero featured as Forbes' Daily Cover Story
by Anna Devine
Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities
Professor Ali Malkawi and the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities (CGBC)'s HouseZero were featured as the February 13, 2019, Daily Cover Story at Forbes.com. In addition to choosing HouseZero as the magazine's homepage spotlight, Forbes shared a video about the energy-positive, living-laboratory created through a retrofit of a 1940s house just steps away from Gund Hall.
"This structure is the first attempt for us to be able to understand the complex behavior of buildings," says Malkawi. "We are trying to capture that, analyze it, build software to allow us to command it in a very gentle way—to help rather than to disassociate us from the outside and from the conditions that we are dealing with."
Led by Malkawi, the CGBC unveiled HouseZero last December. The ambitious prototype for ultra-efficiency was designed to help us to understand buildings in new ways. Snøhetta was the project's lead architect and Skanska Teknikk Norway was the lead energy engineer. Learn more.

On this, the day after @anildash's announcement, I thought I'd share how we've been using Glitch to automate Github, and personalise our own team workflow.
tl;dr Glitch is a great webhook platform - it's like IFTTT for developers, and when combined with Github's API can automate almost any git workflow you can think of.
Reviews - we insist on two approvals per PR - something that GH does not natively support.
// status ('pending' if not enough, 'success' if there are) and message.
context: "Junobot (" + context + ")"
In addition, we can now automatically create a Release PR (dev to master), so that we always have an open release ready to merge / deploy - that details the list of all the constituent Jira tickets, and also has the labels from all the merged branches applied, so we can see if a release requires database migrations, feature flags, etc.
// If this is a merge event, then update the release PR.
// have WIP or DNM, these will be added to the release!
Emboldened by the relative success of the above, I decided to have a go at automating the merge itself - we like to squash feature and hotfix branch merges, so that we have a clean dev, and devs can easily forget this. In addition, with gitflow it is necessary to merge a hotfix into master and dev at the same time. This is not something that Github supports, and is the one step in the process that devs still complete locally, rather than through the GH interface. Automating this completes the process.
We now have no option but to comply. I for one welcome our robot overlords.

Q: How to upgrade a 1.4.3 TortoiseSVN-created repository to 1.6.x? A few years ago, TortoiseSVN 1.4.3 was deployed to our software development team and we are now looking at upgrading the client to the latest 1.6.x version.  I had hoped this upgrade would be transparent with the additional features and modifications being client-side.  For the most part, this was true except for a very important feature -- merging.  When I try to merge a feature branch back into truck I get a show-stopping "Merge tracking not supported error."
Here are some facts worth noting:

*

*When the repository was first created (before I was on board), it was created via the TortoiseSVN client itself. We do not have an 'SVN server daemon' per se, rather the repository folders/database resides on a share folder that is accessible from our workstation machines via file:///. This was actually an eyeopener for me; I had always thought there was some SVN server daemon we were talking to.

*We do not have any access to the underlying machine hosting the SVN share other than the ability to read/write to the share itself. I don't even know what OS the machine is running on. This share server was chosen because its drives are backed up nightly by our IT group.

*In all honesty, we really don't need the merge tracking feature although it would be nice to have. For the time being, it would be sufficient to be able to use a 1.6.x TortoiseSVN client on the 1.4.3 repository and have it merge (sans tracking) without error.
How does one upgrade a client-created 1.4.3 repository to a 1.6.x compatible version without access to the underlying machine the repository resides on?
I was hoping the TortoiseSVN client itself had the ability to do this, but that does not appear to be the case.
Will I be forced to copy the entire repositoryover to my local drive, run some SVN commands to upgrade the repository locally and then copy the repository back to the share point?  If so, will doing this break any compatibility with the 1.4.3 clients in case we can't upgrade them all at the same time?
NOTE
The question has been completely reworded in light of some of the answers given.

A: You will need to do an svnadmin -upgrade to convert the repository format. Just make sure you backup the repository first...just in case.
For the most part 1.4.x clients should be able to talk to a 1.6.x server. Of course the 1.6.x server has features that the 1.4.x clients do not support so those features will be unavailable.
Edit:
It does not really matter that you created the repository via TortoiseSVN. It all happens the same way.  You will need to download the Subversion command line tools to be able to use svnadmin.  I would definitely copy the repository to your local drive first so you can experiment with the upgrade.  Without upgrading that repository you will be forced to forfeit the new features.  I think you will be okay upgrading the repository without affecting the existing 1.4.x clients, but it never hurts to test that out before you replace the production copy of the repository on the server.

A: Based on a compatibility matrix, it looks like compatibility should not be an issue. However, specific missing functionality will likely occur as you already experienced.
For upgrades, see:

*

*Stack Overflow question How to upgrade SVN 1.4.4 (r25188) to SVN 1.6

*svnadmin upgrade (command-line command)
It's probably time to re-evaluate the SVN situation. I can't imagine not having access to the machine. I would demand/request that either the IT people do the upgrade after doing a backup (do your own SVN backup as well) or grant you access to the machine.
As for using file// SVN access: Yikes. I would change that right away, also so it is available via HTTPS. I can't imagine only being able to access it on your local network - although I suppose VPN would work in that case.

DATA SCIENCE ACCURACY
Can an algorithm predict hit songs?
Let's explore how we can successfully build a hit song classifier using only audio features, as described in my publication (Herremans et al., 2014).
During my PhD research I came across a paper by Pachet & Roi (2008) entitled "Hit song science not yet a science". This was intriguing to me, and caused me to explore if we could in fact predict hit songs. Research on this topic is very limited, for a more complete literature overview, please see Herremans et al. (2014). We decided that the effectiveness of the model could be optimized by focusing on one specific genre: dance music. This makes intuitive sense to me, as different genres of music, would have different characteristics for becoming a hit song.
// Dataset
In order to be able to do hit prediction, we first need a dataset of hit / non-hit songs. While there is no shortage of hit-lists, it is quite another thing to find non-hit lists. Therefore, we decided to classify between high and low ranked songs on the hit listings. We experimented a bit to see which split would work best, as shown in Table 1, this resulted in three datasets (D1, D2, and D3):
Table 1 — Hit dataset split from Herremans et al. (2014).
Each with slightly unbalanced class distribution:
Figure 1 — Class distribution from Herremans et al. (2014).
The hit listings were collected from two sources: Billboard (BB) and the Original Charts Company (OCC). The table below shows the amount of hits collected. Note that songs stay in the charts for multiple weeks, so the amount of unique songs is much smaller:
Table 2 — Hit dataset from Herremans et al. (2014).
Now that we have a list of songs, we need the audio features that go along with them. We used The Echo Nest Analyzer (Jehan and DesRoches, 2012), to extract a number of audio features. This nifty API allows us to get a number of audio features, based only on the artist name and song title. The Echo Nest was bought by Spotify and is now integrated in Spotify API. So what did we extract:
1. Standard audio features:
These included Duration, Tempo, Time signature, Mode (major (1) or minor (0)), Key, Loudness, Danceability (Calculated by The Echo Nest, based on beat strength, tempo stability, overall tempo, and more), Energy (Calculated by The Echo Nest, based on loudness and segment durations).
2. New temporal features
Because songs change over time, we added a number of temporally aggregated features based on Schindler & Rauber (2012). They include average, variance, min, max, range, and 80 percentile of ~1s segments. This was done for the following features:
Timbre — PCA basis vector (13 dimensions) of the tone colour of the audio. A 13-dimensional vector which captures the tone colour for each segment of a song.
Beat diff erence— The time between beats.
Great! Now we have a nice collection of audio features, together with their top chart position. Like any good data science project should start, let's do some data visualisation. The first thing we notice is that hits change over time. What was a hit ten years ago, is not necessarily a hit song today. When we visualise our features over time, this becomes apparent:
Figure 2— Interactive bubble chart from Herremans et al. (2014), also on dorienherremans.com/dance(apologies .js may not work on some browsers though, I have not updated this in a while)
Interestingly, we see that dance hit songs have become shorter, louder, and according to the Echo Nest 'danceability' features, less danceable!
Figure 3 — Evolution of hit features over time from Herremans et al. (2014).
For a more complete visualisation of features over time, check out my short paper on visualising hit songs: (Herremans & Lauwers, 2017) and accompanying webpage.
// Models
Two types of models are explored: comprehensible ones and black-boxmodels. As can be expected, the latter are more efficient, but the former give us insight into why a song can be considered a hit.
Decision tree (C4.5)
In order to fit the decision tree on a page, I've set the pruning to high. This makes the tree small and comprehensible, but gives is a low AUC of 0.54 on D1. We see that only temporal features are present! This mean they must be important. In particular Timbre 3 (third dimension of PCA timbre vector), which reflects the emphasis of the attack (sharpness), seems influential in order to predict hit songs.
Figure 3 — Decision tree from Herremans et al. (2014).
Rule based model (Ripper)
Using RIPPER, we get a very similar ruleset to the decision tree. Again Timbre 3 is present. This time, our AUC is 0.54 on D1.
Table 3 — Rule set from Herremans et al. (2014).
Naive Bayes, Logistic regression, Support vector machines (SVM)
For an easy to read description of these techniques, please refer to Herremans et al. (2014).
// Final results
Before going into any results, I should stress that it makes no sense to use a general classification 'accuracy' here, because the classes are not balanced (see Figure 1). If you want to use accuracy, it should be class specific. This is a common mistake, but very important to keep in mind. We therefore use Receiver Operator Curve (ROC), Area Under The Curve (AUC) and Confusion Matrices to properly evaluate the models.
10-fold cross validation
We obtain the best results for Dataset 1 (D1) and Dataset 2 (D2), without feature selection (we used CfsSubsetEval with Genetic Search). All features were standardized before training. Since D3 has the smallest 'split' between hits and non-hits this result makes sense. Overall, logistic regression performs best.
Table 4— AUC Results from Herremans et al. (2014), with and without feature selection (FS).
Looking at the ROC curve below, we see that the model outperforms a random oracle (diagonal line).
Figure 4— ROC for Logistic Regression from Herremans et al. (2014).
Details of the classification accuracy can be seen by looking at the confusion matrix, which reveals that correctly identifying non-hit songs is not easy! Hits, however, are identified correctly 68% of the time.
Table 5— Confusion matrix for Logistic Regression from Herremans et al. (2014).
Out of time test set
Instead of 10-fold cross validation, we also used a test set of chronologically 'new' songs. This resulted in a further performance increase:
Table 6— AUC for split versus 10-fold CV from Herremans et al. (2014).
It's intriguing that the model predicts better for newer songs. What causes this skewness? Maybe it learns to predict how trends evolve over time? Future research should look into the intriguing evolution of music preferences over time.
// Conclusion
Looking solely at audio features, Herremans et al. (2014) could predict with an AUC of 81% if a song would be in the top 10 hit listings. Can we do even better? Most probably yes! The features set we looked at in this research is limited, so by expanding this using both low and high level musical features, higher accuracies may be achieved. In addition, in follow up research, I looked at the influence of social networks on hit prediction, which also has a significant impact (Herremans & Bergmans, 2017).

Let us take a bird's eye view of the content of this episode. I will try not to include any spoilers, however, some of them are inevitable.
The villages on the outskirts of Mahishmati are facing attacks from various decoits and the issue is getting bigger and bigger. Now they have started attacking the merchant convoys and caravans passing through the jungle and started looting them. It is now essential for queen Sivagami and her administration to take harsh steps immediately and get the situation under control.
There is a big setback as their plan to join hands with King Yaduvanshi was failed! The king is assassinated now, and Prince Varaah is the new king!
In order to fight back the shady characters, Mahishmati has to find some other alley as soon as possible. And Queen Sivagami thought of joining hands with Kalakeyas!
Katappa, knowing the brutal and cunning nature of the Kalakeyas and especially their chieftain have advised her against it. He was sure that this will create other problems in future as Kalakeyas are not trustable at all.
Sivagami was however rigid in her decision and wanted to initiate a communication with Kalakeya leader, as she sees this as the only way to take the situation under control at the current point of time.
It is decided that Prince Baahubali and Prince Bhallaladeva will go to meet the chief of Kalakeya along with Katappa and try to crack a deal!
What will happen now? Will the trio be able to meet the chief of Kalakeyas? Why the Kalakeya chieftain is so brutal and ruthless? Will he be interested in joining hands with Mahishmati? Will this meeting (if happen) be fruitful and they will find trustable allies in each other? All these questions are answered when you explore the episode.
Views and Reviews:
In terms of content, this episode provides the thrills expected from it. There are some important incidents explored in this episode which will result into affecting the future of Mahishmati in one way or the other. The episode is written nicely and it maintains the pace throughout. There are almost no childish incidents in this episode.
Another important aspect which is worth noticing is the special language the makers have developed for the Kalakeyas. Yes, we had listened to it in Baahubali movie as well. But here, it is at larager extend. It is worth to note that what Kalkeya speaks are not just a set of arbitary words, but scholars have designed a new language on demand. There is a grammer assoicated with this language and a small vocabulory too. This treatment shows the dedication of the makers towards their work. They are not creating just another TV Serial, but, making something in convincing way.
We wish that the same level of quality control was seen in the animation of the TV Series. Even some versions of Little Krishna (animated TV Show for kids) have better looking characters and animation than this.
The scenes are built nicely and so does the sets. You will like the palace of Mahishmati, the location of Kalakeyas and the mountain ridge where the last scene of the fight happens.
The voice over artists are the real heroes of the episode. They are not only convincing but acts pretty nicely using their voice. All of them are at par excellence. We wish that the legendary dialogs "Mera Vachan Hi Hai Shashan" should have came in better context and not just for the sake of having it.
Overall a nice at content, good at voice over and background music, episode which lack the quality of animation expected from it. You can watch it when have time. We suggest you to wait for a few more episodes and then sign in for the free trial of Amazon Prime Membership and watch all these episodes back-to-back.
