Elizabeth supports Bill C-55 to amend the Oceans Act
On Friday, May 10th, 2019 in Climate Change, Debate, Democracy, Issues, Parliament, Speeches
Madam Speaker, I want to put on the record that I will vote for Bill C-55, the Oceans Act, as it comes back to this place.
This is probably my only opportunity to say something I have been wanting to say for awhile, which is that we owe so much to the former minister of fisheries, the member for Parliament for Beauséjour. He worked hard to fix the Fisheries Act, Bill C-68, which I hope gets back to this place soon so we can pass it. I hope it passes in the Senate unamended.
We need Bill C-68 as quickly as possible. We need Bill C-55. Constituents have contacted me, asking me to vote for the Oceans Act, and I will.
However, I wanted to take a moment in the House to extend my best wishes and constant prayers for my friend, the member of Parliament for Beauséjour, the current Minister of Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs and Internal Trade. I thank him for his work. I also thank the current Minister of Fisheries. This is important legislation and I am really pleased to see it have full support of the government.

A well cared for canvas tent can provide a lifetime of camping fun. Canvas tents are often much more expensive than nylon tents and should be cared for to ensure the investment lasts a long time. Canvas tents are extremely durable and thus generally require minimal maintenance. A properly maintained canvas tent will provide shelter for years to come.
The most important maintenance you can do on your tent is to hang it out to dry before storing it for an extended period. Condensation and any other dampness in the fabric will ruin the tent if not eliminated before storage. Hang your tent from a deck, over a fence or across a few patio chairs in direct sunlight to remove any dampness left over from your camping trip. It is recommended that you use a ground cover when camping to limit the amount of condensation that builds up on the tent.
Rips or holes in the canvas often will be covered under a warranty, so be sure to check with the manufacturer. If not under warranty rips or holes can be patched by sewing a small piece of canvas over the damaged area. Waterproof treatment should be applied to the patch to ensure the tent is watertight.
Some tents will require annual waterproofing treatment. Be sure to consult your user manual for directions specific to your tent. Treating some tents with waterproofing solutions could result in decreasing the breathability. Many manufactures will also suggest a particular product that has a long track record of working with your tent.
Proper storage is an important component of maintaining your tent. Select a dry and cool spot for your tent to ensure mildew is not an issue. Store your canvas tent off the ground to avoid any problems with rodents. The warm canvas and smell of campfire are both attributes which will attract rodents. Consider storing your tent in a sturdy bag to help discourage rodents and avoid potential problems with water damage.
Avoid using soap when cleaning your tent. Soap can reduce the waterproofing capabilities of your tent. To clean use a garden hose and wipe with a cloth. Once done cleaning allow the tent to dry in the sun before packing for storage.
Canvas tents are durable and generally will last a longtime when cared for properly. Protect your investment by following these simple guidelines. Always be sure to consult the user manual that came with your tent to avoid performing any maintenance that will void the manufactures warranty.

We believe technology is the answer to discrimination.
The conversation surrounding bias and discrimination in the tech industry is clearly growing. This is very inspiring and motivational, but there is still a lot of space for improvement.
According to our recent research, a third of people experience discrimination when on the hunt for their dream job.
AI is expected to create $13 trillion in value for businesses by 2030. While other industries are rapidly adopting AI and machine learning, recruitment seems to be falling behind. The way of working so far is neither benefiting job seekers or businesses. In turn, it seems to be fuelling the issue of diversity.
At JamieAi, we work on building a technology that will enable us to offer equal opportunities based on skills, experience, and interests.
Bias and lack of diversity in the tech workforce is not an unknown issue. Numerous businesses are now trying to attract and hire a more diverse pool of employees. The willingness companies have shown in the past year is very inspiring. Of course, there is a long way to go!
To overcome the challenges we must focus on education and awareness. This along with technology implementation will be the key to remove the unconscious bias from the hiring process.
In our survey, half of the responders said they felt age played a part when asked what factors were affecting their ability to land interviews or job roles, while a third said gender. A further 21% said social status makes an impact, while 16% of people said that either their religion or sexuality had been an obstacle in finding employment.
With discrimination experienced so widely during the hiring process, it is no surprise that two-thirds of candidates enhance their job applications and a half embellish qualifications or experience. Alongside these revelations, our research found that 14% had changed their name to sound more "English", while 13% had given the wrong age.
With data like this, there is no surprise the recruitment industry is ripe for change. Candidates should not feel the need to exaggerate or hide aspects of their applications in order to combat discrimination!
Bias is an intrinsic part of the human character. When recruiters ask candidates for demographic information, they inadvertently create space for discrimination to fuel existing biases. We believe that by harnessing technology in the right way we can start to counteract this.
Thankfully, we are now seeing new models emerge that focus on skills, experience, and preferences. Doing this not only reduces and prevents discrimination, but also increases the overall accuracy of the service.
At JamieAi we are working on the best fit and match accuracy. We urge industry leaders to add a tech first approach to their hiring process and focus on activating solutions that achieve greater accuracy and begin to put an end to hiring bias altogether.
Our vision for JamieAi is to dramatically increase diversity in the hiring process, making sure our technology and approach is unbiased by excluding the use of names, age, gender and ethnicity in our data. We don't ask the questions in the first place, which means user's profiles are based purely on relevant skills, expertise and what they are looking for. This essentially increases accuracy and ultimately eliminates the hiring bias.
Despite the current issues facing the industry, the future is not bleak. At JamieAi we continue to work with businesses that are placing a bigger emphasis on sourcing diverse talent than ever. We have noticed that businesses are becoming increasingly willing to put more resources to make this happen.
This is happening hand in hand with businesses who are also transforming their culture by developing a more inclusive and flexible workspace. Businesses can attract diverse talent by demonstrating their strong cultural reputation and flexible working culture. A clear progression structure is also one of the ways to attract diverse and driven talent.
It's widely acknowledged that diverse workforces pave the way for incredible levels of innovation and business growth. Cultural change combined with technological advancements will be the way in which companies can best tackle this issue. We're already seeing this take place across a number of businesses. This continued shift in company attitudes, coupled with the introduction of AI, will lead to hiring bias becoming a thing of the past.

Q: nginx php-fpm not found Im currently trying to set-up PHP using nginx and fast-cgi so here is what I have so far
server {
        listen 80;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://192.99.58.233:8080;
        }
        location /forum-dev {
            rewrite ^/forum(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://192.99.58.233:1021;
        }
        location /forum {
            alias /forum/;
            index index.html index.htm index.php;
            try_files $uri =404;
            location ~ \.php$ {
                root /forum;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                #fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            }
        }
}

So I want to access /forum url and be able to load .php files but I always get

File Not Found

On php.ini I have fix_pathinfo set to 0. If I add a simple index.html file to the /forum folder it will show up correctly.

A: I think your nested locations are potentially suspect. Nested locations are ok, but not ideal. Another way to do this is as below
location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/$uri;
}

location ~ \.php$ {

It's worth reading this guide.

All ship-shape as Callista sails in for her research role
Students at the University of Southampton's School of Ocean and Earth Science are set to benefit from the arrival of a purpose-built research vessel this week.
The catamaran RV Callista, which was constructed in Finland, is currently sailing across the North Sea and the English Channel to her new home in Southampton. She is expected to arrive at Empress Dock, alongside the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, at midday on Thursday 18 August with her skipper Graham Etheridge and members of the School on board.
Callista will be instrumental in training up the next generation of ocean and earth scientists and is due to be operational in time for the new academic year. Based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, she will be used for research, outreach and teaching, particularly student fieldwork. With a robust 'A' frame mounted on the stern, she is capable of deploying equipment weighing 3 tonnes - essential for commercially-commissioned work.
With capacity for up to 30 passengers the 20-metre Callista will be an impressive addition to the School's fleet of inshore craft. The catamaran has a working deck aft, a wet lab amidships and a dry lab forward - all with wheelchair access.
The name Callista is taken from the bivalve (shellfish) genus Callista, which is found in fossilised form in the South of England.
Callista is expected to arrive in Southampton at midday on Thursday 18 August. Members of the School plan to join the vessel in the Solent off Portsmouth on Thursday morning.
The University of Southampton is a leading UK teaching and research institution with a global reputation for leading-edge research and scholarship. The University has around 20,000 students and nearly 5000 staff. Its annual turnover is in the region of £270 million. https://www.southampton.ac.uk/
Formerly known as Southampton Oceanography Centre, the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton is a joint partnership between the University of Southampton and the Natural Environment Research Council. The Centre provides all aspects of research, training, teaching, technology and support services in ocean and earth science. Its Director is Professor Ed Hill. The Centre is one of the world's largest institutions devoted to research, teaching and technological developments in ocean and earth science. www.noc.soton.ac.uk

Smartphone users apparently are very particular about which phone they buy and why they purchase certain brands.
The majority of respondents to a recent comScore survey chose Blackberry devices as their handheld of choice.
About 51 percent of all purchasers surveyed said they planned to buy a Blackberry during the next three months. That compared with 20 percent for Apple's iPhones, 17 percent for Google's Android-based devices and a paltry 3 percent for Palm products.
The focus of the reprot was whether Android is shaking up the smartphone market.
Different mobile devices also seem to attract different types of users.
In its report, comScore said an analysis of mobile media consumption on smartphones showed that users of both Apple and Android-supported devices were more likely to engage with mobile media than an average smartphone user.
Love my Palm. On my 3d generation and love it. My carrier is Verizon and the new Palm Pre is only carried by Sprint. Ugh! Verizon needs to get on the ball.
Apple's iPhone was the most popular headset in the US for the majority of 2009, according to recently published data from Nielsen. Estimates are now that iPhone will have sold over 65 million phones. And market data indicates the iPhone is power shifting into a faster gear in sales. Blackberry and RIMM are trying hard to stay in the game by selling a buy one, get one free.
If Apple starts that kind of discounting, stand back!
Just wait 'till you see the year end sales data.

Since Jil Sander's veiled version, beanies gained more and more popularity. From fashion blogs to international catwalks, beanie are a huge trend this season. They are cool, cute and keep your awesome head pretty warm. Do you have a "bad hair" day? No problem. This spiked beanie makes you look gorgeous. You just need a simple beanie (maybe an old one), little piece of leather or faux leather (sacrifice your old bag) and some spikes (H&M selling spikes online). And Voilà!

Waves to Water Design Phase Success!
Following on from our successful Concept Stage prize. Colloide are delighted to be successful in the Design phase of the #WavestoWater prize. Alongside our partners Pure Marine specialists in wave energy we were able to apply our water treatment expertise to create an innovative wave-powered desalination system. Our team 'Sea Potential' now progress to the next stage the 'adapt' phase.
What is the Waves to Water Prize?
The Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has launched a new prize, aligned with the recently announced Water Security Grand Challenge.
The Waves to Water prize is a 4-Stage competition that offers up to $2.5 million in cash prizes, with a goal to demonstrate small, modular, cost-competitive desalination systems that use the power of ocean waves to provide clean drinking water for disaster recovery and for remote and coastal communities.
What did the Design phase involve?
In the Design Stage we developed a technical plan and supporting analysis of our wave-powered desalination system. Focusing on two major components:
(1) A detailed design of our wave-powered desalination system, including modeling to support claims of performance if a prototype of the system is built; and
(2) a plan to build a prototype of our system, including how major risks would be addressed.
Positive feedback from the Design Phase:
'a competitive and longer-term solution'
'the team seems well qualified with a long history of success'
'innovation and potential'
We will now take on the 'adapt' stage where we will be challenged to design a flexible system to meet site conditions at Jennette's Pier in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and will have 180 days to prepare the submission.

This post is part three in a six-part series that will discuss the benefits of career coaching. Part two discussed the coach's role in career change and transition. Part three discusses the coach's role in personal and family issues.
Just like it is difficult to separate work and family life while employed, having to deal with an unemployment situation is not an isolated event. It is one in which the entire family shares a part in.
Do you have personal or family issues that are directly impacting your job search?
Is relocation out of the question?
Is your spouse currently employed and not anxious to leave his/her position?
Is your age impacting your campaign results?
Are you tied to your current community because of out-of-work activities you're involved in?
Do you have a physical disability that might be negatively impacting your search but has never impacted your work performance?
Are you depressed because your job search has not progressed at the pace you anticipated?
Do you need an advisor, a confidante or a job search partner?
Your coach can be your sounding board, helping you determine how to evaluate and prioritize these issues in relation to your search, how to best overcome obstacles standing in your way and how to best position those issues to your advantage.
If you can answer "YES" to most of the questions and are confident in your ability to manage your job search, then you are reasonably well-prepared to move forward on your own. However, if you still feel the need for the expertise, insights and support of a career coach, don't hesitate for one minute. If you answered "NO" to more than just 3-4 of the questions above, I would strongly urge you consider the value a career coach could bring to your job search, career performance and compensation. With years of training and experience, career coaches know what works and what doesn't work, how to optimize your results, and how to help you land your ideal position. With your career coach at your side, you can move forward confidently and successfully.
For more information on career coaching, please contact my office: 704-882-2839 or nadams@firstimpressionscount.com.
Stay tuned for part four in this series, where I will discuss the coach's role in career marketing and job search management.

Labyrinth of Evil: Star Wars Legends (Star Wars - Legends) (Mass Market)
By James Luceno
The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic–and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil. . . .
Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy–and Separatist Councilmember–Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster. Still, their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.
Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim . . . every step bringing them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith Lord–whom they suspect has been manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead.
Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces–and bring the Republic to its knees.
James Luceno is the New York Times bestselling author of the Star Wars novels Millennium Falcon, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, Cloak of Deception, Labyrinth of Evil, as well as the New Jedi Order novels Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial and Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse, The Unifying Force, and the eBook Darth Maul: Saboteur.

ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 4189
(Third Reprint)
To the General Assembly:
Pursuant to Article V, Section I, Paragraph 14 of the New Jersey Constitution, I am returning Assembly Bill No. 4189 (Third Reprint) with my recommendations for reconsideration.
This bill is the Legislature's second attempt in recent months to extend the failed Urban Enterprise Zone ("UEZ") program – a program with apathetic participation and a devastating impact on State revenues without any demonstrable benefit to municipalities or their residents. The Legislature's persistent efforts to expand and extend this program are baffling – particularly since the program was always intended to be of limited scope and duration. Five months ago, I conditionally vetoed a similarly misguided attempt by the Legislature to extend UEZs. The Legislature's stubborn refusal to acknowledge that, after more than 30 years, the UEZ program has been an abject failure compels me to do the same to this bill.
In 2016, the Legislature passed Assembly Bill No. 2576 (Second Reprint) ("Assembly Bill No. 2576") as the first five UEZs that were designated in 1986 – Bridgeton, Camden, Newark, Plainfield, and Trenton – were about to sunset. That bill would have extended the designations for all 32 UEZs for an additional 10 years. My conditional veto eliminated the extension and proposed that the Commissioner of Community Affairs study the UEZ program and assess whether any alternative, location-based program to assist fiscally distressed municipalities would be appropriate. The Legislature did not act on that conditional veto and, instead, enacted this bill, which would extend the now-expired UEZ designations for Bridgeton, Camden, Newark, Plainfield, and Trenton for two years (retroactive to January 1, 2017) and require the study recommended in my conditional veto of Assembly Bill No. 2576.
Although trumpeted as a "compromise" by its supporters, this bill is nothing of the sort. As evidenced by its conveniently-timed two-year extension, this bill is transparently designed to circumvent my Administration's efforts to protect New Jersey taxpayers from unsuccessful, fiscally imprudent programs. In lieu of a true compromise or prudently concurring in my recommendations for Assembly Bill No. 2576, this bill would resurrect the Bridgeton, Camden, Newark, Plainfield, and Trenton UEZs and delay their expiration until this Administration no longer serves as the gatekeeper against irresponsible legislation.
Thirty years of experience demonstrates that the UEZ program does not work. Although it was designed to foster economic growth in economically depressed municipalities, the program has not achieved these goals despite being extended in 2001 to a 31-year existence for what the Legislature promised was a "one-time basis." The alleged need for, and merits of, the program urged by its supporters is belied by the fact that only 18.3% of qualified businesses in UEZs participate in the program. Moreover, even with this low participation rate, UEZs significantly curtail State revenue. Indeed, this bill's extension for the initial five UEZs would decrease State revenues from retail sales taxes alone approximately $40 million over the course of the next two years. This loss would be exacerbated by the other benefits that the UEZ Act provides to UEZ businesses, including business-to-business tax exemptions, tax credits, and unemployment insurance subsidies.
I cannot condone this bill's further extension of this wasteful and failed program. Nothing has changed in the five months since I conditionally vetoed Assembly Bill No. 2576 to warrant any change in that position.
Accordingly, I herewith return Assembly Bill No. 4189 (Third Reprint) and recommend that it be amended as follows:
Page 2, Title, Lines 1-3: Delete ", amending P.L.1983, c.303 and P.L.2001, c.347, and supplementing Title 52 of the Revised Statutes"

Origins:- In the long distant past, the galaxy faced an insidious threat from the parasitic alien lifeform known as The Flood that sought to attach itself to every sentient organism. The only solution was for the race known as The Forerunners to construct a vast weapon known as Halo that eliminated all living things in the universe. Samples of all life were placed in suspended animation to be revived after everything else was exterminated. Origins II:- After the universe was reseeded, humanity grew up on Earth and then expanded out across the galaxy. There humanity soon came up against the alien race known as The Covenant, which resulted in war. The two races were forced together against the renewed menace of The Flood. The Duel:- On one world, The Covenant Arbiter Fal takes a defiant stance. This brings reprisals from his superiors, including their killing his beloved wife, in order to provoke him to a showdown. Homecoming:- On the war-torn Inner Colonies, several of the genetically engineered super-soldiers known as Spartan Twos make an escape from their hatchery. One Spartan warrior Daisy encounters the girl that she was cloned from. Odd One Out:- The Spartan 1337 is left behind on a planet where he encounters several stranded kids and must fight off an enemy soldier. He then receives surprising aid from the powerful A.I. of a crashed spaceship. Prototype:- One soldier has been nicknamed Ghost because he follows duty without allowing any emotions to intrude. On the weapons testing planet Argolis, the soldiers are commanded to evacuate in the face of a Covenant onslaught. Defying orders to destroy a prototype battle suit, Ghost instead takes the suit into combat against the enemy. The Babysitter:- A group of tough Hell Jumper commandoes are teamed with a Spartan warrior for a jump down into Covenant held territory to eliminate the Covenant Prophet and secure an alien artefact of unknown origin. The Package:- A unit of Spartans are sent into action with a ten minute window in which to conduct an assault on a Covenant fleet and retrieve a captured package. However, the Covenant troops have laid a trap for them.
Halo is a hugely successful videogame from Microsoft Studios, first appearing with Halo: Combat Evolved (2001) designed for the Xbox, and passing through seven different versions since then, as well as several spinoffs. Halo rapidly became one of the most acclaimed modern videogames. In essence, Halo was a first-person shooter game but what made it a cult item was the epic scope of its story, which took place amid a vast galactic war between humanity and the alien Covenant, with the threat of the parasitic lifeform known as The Flood in the background. The game offered a range of locations but the principal one was the titular Halos – a concept derived from Larry Niven's novel Ringworld (1970) – a series of artificial ring-like structures built as vast habitable surfaces encircling stars that, during the course of the game, are discovered to be artefacts left by The Forerunners to eliminate all life in the galaxy and prevent the threat of The Flood. Halo has been regarded as one of the top videogames out there and its popularity has seen its adaptation into a series of spinoff novels and comic-books.
There was interest in a live-action Halo film between 2005 and 2007, which would have been produced by Peter Jackson with a script by Alex Garland, the author of The Beach (2000), 28 Days Later (2002), Never Let Me Go (2010) and Dredd (2012), and to be directed by Neill Blomkamp who went onto make District 9 (2009) for Jackson after the collapse of Halo. The project ended up falling through because of the huge budget that required collaboration between two studios, 20th Century Fox and Universal, who backed out and refused to accept Peter Jackson and Microsoft's demand for large cuts of the upfront box-office gross. For now, this anime compilation package is the only film version of the game that we have, although there were also two subsequent web-series, the low-budget Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn (2012) and the very good Halo Nightfall (2014), both of which were later released as films.
First there was Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) but it was the Wachowski Brothers who sparked a trend when they commissioned The Animatrix (2003) – which Studio 4oC were also an instrumental part of – as a series of animated spinoff tales from The Matrix (1999). The Wackhowskis toured Japan, selected a series of anime directors and gave them the assignment to make a series of self-contained short films set in the Matrix universe. A similar idea was conducted with Batman: Gotham Knight (2008), hiring a group of anime directors to each deliver a series of Batman animated shorts. With Halo Legends, the same concept has been applied to the world of the Halo computer game.
Other computer game and film franchise have conducted feature-length anime variations with the likes of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005), Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007), Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008), Mass Effect: Paragon Lost (2012), Resident Evil: Damnation (2012), Starship Troopers: Invasion (2012), Iron Man: Rise of Technovore (2013), Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017), Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars (2017) and Batman Ninja (2018).
The two finest episodes of the film come at the very start with Origins and Origins II, both from Studio 4oC and relative newcomer directors. The two stories, drawing from the elaborate back history created by the Halo games, between them create one of the most epic canvases that any science-fiction film has ever written itself on. The first story starts with the long forgotten Forerunners who came way before humanity, obliterated all life in the universe to save it from invasion by the parasitic The Flood and then created an ark of preserved genetic samples, while the second part takes up at the start of human history, all of which is passed over in a matters of minutes, and then out into humanity's future among the stars and the encounter and war with The Covenant, before the two species are forced to cooperate against the renewed menace of The Flood. Such an epical scale of a story that sweeps across entire epochs of time is something that has only been covered before in written works of science-fiction such as the books of Olaf Stapledon and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. The results are dazzling.
The third episode The Duel comes from celebrated anime director Mamoru Oshii, best known for Ghost in the Shell (1995), Avalon (2001) and The Sky Crawlers (2008). Oshii merely supervises newcomer Hiroshi Yamazaki who sits in the actual director's chair. Oshii and Yamazaki have chosen to make the episode in an animation style that has the feel of being hand-painted in watercolours, which certainly creates a unique look when it comes to the action scenes. Story has always been less important for Mamoru Oshii who tends to get wound up in overly complex metaphors – the one here could have worked as a traditional non-fantastic samurai story with almost no rewriting and does leave you grasping somewhat trying to follow the details of the relationship between the two nemeses and their oaths.
Spartan 1337 left to tend kids on a planet in the Odd One Out episode
Homecoming comes from directors Koichi Mashimo and Koji Sawai who have both worked on numerous anime tv series, in particular .hack//SIGN (2002) and various of its spinoffs. It is an okay episode, although the narrative structure flashing back from a war zone seems initially confusing and takes some time to show you where the story is going. Coming after The Duel, Homecoming opts for a far more traditional anime look in its characters. The episode reaches a passable end in its confrontation between clone and original but is nothing standout.
Odd One Out from Saisuke Nishio, a director on numerous incarnations of Dragon Ball Z, is the head-scratcher of the compilation. Where all the other episodes are serious and mostly centred around tough marines in war scenarios, this opts for more traditional anime-type characters and battle scenes. This episode has a clearly comedic tone – the wackiness sets in from the kids turning up on dinosaurs and goes upwards from there. The episode is silly and eminently forgettable, leaving you only wondering what the decision was to include it here.
With Prototype, the anthology starts to find its ground again. Directed by newcomers from anime television, the episode has a hard edge typical of the action heavy focus you see in much science-fiction animation. There is a nicely grim humanism to be found here, something that anime can do well. And when the episode gets to the power-suited battles, it shows its strength with satisfying effect. The Babysitter from newcomer Toshiyuki Kanno is another worthwhile episode in a similar vein. There is a reasonable story and an emphasis on character rather than action, while the piece comes together with fair and satisfying effect.
Finally comes The Package from Shinji Aramaki, the most high-profile anime director to handle any of the segments, Aramaki having also made works like Appleseed (2004) and Appleseed Ex Machina (2007). Aramaki is one of the finest science-fiction/action directors in modern anime. He opts for much more of a CGI look to the episode and creates some fine and satisfying action scenes.
On the whole though, Halo Legends ranks as an interesting disappointment. It starts with epic ambition but the episodes seem bitsy, never to open up satisfyingly as stories. The problem for much of this is the vast scale of the Halo game and diverse species and player characters within it, resulting in the stories hopping around between different sides and lifeforms, which is confusing to anybody coming to the film without prior knowledge of the Halo universe. Some of the episodes during the middle gain their strength when they get to the action and combat scenes but these are nothing particularly standout, nothing that other science-fiction anime does not do with a great deal of regularity. There is so much more that Halo Legends could have been.

Q: Intuition for complex dot product I am studying the complex dot product and I am trying to develop an intuition for it. The real part seems to tell me the real dot product, if the complex vectors in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are viewed as real vectors in $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$. So this would be a measure of how similar the complex vectors are. But what information do we gain from the complex part?

A: A vector $v \in \mathbb{C}^n$ can be expressed as
$$
v\ =\ \begin{bmatrix} a_1 + ib_1 \\ \vdots \\ a_n + ib_n \end{bmatrix}\ =\ \begin{bmatrix} a_1 \\ \vdots \\ a_n \end{bmatrix}\ +\ i\begin{bmatrix} b_1 \\ \vdots \\ b_n \end{bmatrix}\ =\ \Re(v)+i\Im(v)
$$
As explained on Wikipedia, if we want to endow this vector space with an inner-product that induces a positive-definite norm,
$$
\langle v,v \rangle \geq 0,\ \ \text{(equality iff $v \equiv 0$)}
$$
then it is sensible to define (for any $u,v \in \mathbb{C}^n$)
$$
\langle u,v \rangle := \sum_i \bar{u}_i v_i
$$
or equivalently,
\begin{align}
\langle u,v \rangle &= \big{(}\Re(u)^\top-i\Im(u)^\top\big{)}\big{(}\Re(v)+i\Im(v)\big{)}\\
&= \big{(}\Re(u)^\top\Re(v) + \Im(u)^\top \Im(v)\big{)} + i\big{(}\Re(u)^\top \Im(v) - \Im(u)^\top\Re(v)\big{)}\\
&= \Re\big{(}\langle u,v \rangle\big{)} + i \Im\big{(}\langle u,v \rangle\big{)}
\end{align}
We see that,
$$
\frac{\Re\big{(}\langle u,v \rangle\big{)}}{\sqrt{\langle u,u \rangle \langle v,v \rangle}} = \frac{\Re(u)^\top\Re(v) + \Im(u)^\top \Im(v)}{\sqrt{\langle u,u \rangle \langle v,v \rangle}} = \cos(\theta)
$$
where $\theta$ is, real-geometrically, the angle between $\begin{bmatrix} \Re(u) \\ \Im(u) \end{bmatrix}$ and $\begin{bmatrix} \Re(v) \\ \Im(v) \end{bmatrix}$.
On the other hand,
$$
\frac{\Im\big{(}\langle u,v \rangle\big{)}}{\sqrt{\langle u,u \rangle \langle v,v \rangle}} = \frac{\Re(u)^\top \Im(v) - \Im(u)^\top\Re(v)}{\sqrt{\langle u,u \rangle \langle v,v \rangle}} = \cos(\phi)
$$
where $\phi$ is, real-geometrically, the angle between $\begin{bmatrix} \Re(u) \\ \Im(u) \end{bmatrix}$ and $\begin{bmatrix} \Im(v) \\ -\Re(v) \end{bmatrix}$.
The latter real vector is the same as the one that defined $\theta$, but rotated $90$ degrees about the axis normal to the "complex plane" subspace. In the simple case of $\mathbb{C}^1$, we have $\phi = \theta - \frac{\pi}{2}$ and thus,
$$
\frac{\Im\big{(}\langle u,v \rangle\big{)}}{\sqrt{\langle u,u \rangle \langle v,v \rangle}} = \sin(\theta)
$$

A: The standard embedding of the complex numbers as matrices sends $a+bi$ to the $2\times 2$ matrix $$\begin{pmatrix}a&-b\\b&a\end{pmatrix}.$$
(There is another embedding into $M_2(\mathbb R)$ which is just the conjugate.)
Then a complex vector: $$v=\begin{pmatrix}v_1\\v_2\\ \vdots\\ v_n\end{pmatrix}$$
corresponds to a $2n\times 2$ real matrix, $A_v$. The interesting fact is that $A_v^T$ corresponds to the horizontal vector $\left(\overline{v_1},\dots,\overline{v_n}\right).$ Then  the $2\times 2$ matrix, $A_v^TA_w,$ corresponds to $\sum_{i=1}^n\overline{v_i}w_i$.

Digital Governance vs. Office 365 Governance: Which Do You Need?
By Kristina Podnar | Jun 11, 2018
CHANNEL: Information Management
PHOTO: Samuel Zeller
If you've ever met me, you know I love to debate the value of SharePoint's system of governance.
I've recently expanded my argument beyond SharePoint, because I am now using the complete Office 365 offering in my consulting practice.
The irony runs deep: I am married to an Office 365/SharePoint architect, and we often debate whether you can you have "Office 365" governance without "digital" governance. Both approaches have their place in the enterprise, but knowing which one to choose at what time is critical. Without digital governance in place, you will merely be biding your time while underlying issues compound and remain unaddressed.
Why Office 365 Governance Alone Isn't Enough
Microsoft has provided Office 365 governance that encompasses components of its platform: OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Flow, Dynamics 365, Yammer, PowerApps and the Office suite. This approach has you covered for management of specific tasks, such as:
Roles and responsibilities as they relate to the approval for creating a new team site.
Integration between real-time document collaboration, calendaring and online chatting.
Policies governing matters such as how large of a file can be uploaded without an administrator's approval.
Guidelines or best practices about handling things like the use of lists to create dynamic views versus uploading a PDF or a Word file.
The Office 365 governance model falls short in the context of the enterprise, where the digital ecosystem is anything but harmonized and users have diverse ways of working. For example, consider these scenarios:
How do you make the case for locking down Office 365 so that you can govern and manage users within the Microsoft ecosystem when at the essence of Office 365 are hundreds of connectors to integrate with — but not govern — outside tools?
How do you manage licensing and associated costs with platform components such as Flow? This replacement for SharePoint's custom workflows has a limit on "runs per user," and any additional "runs" (or workflow execution cycles) are at a cost that has no governance flags associated with the Microsoft platform.
How will your organization stay compliant with all of the laws and regulations of the countries in which you operate? Privacy and data localization are embedded in Office 365, but it doesn't extend to regulations like the rules mandating online accessibility that some countries have.
Diving into Office 365 without digital governance in place is like driving around in a foreign country without a map or GPS to get you to your destination. You follow the signs that you can interpret and assume things work just as they do at home, but then when it starts to get late and you're about to run out of gas, you get edgy and start making mistakes.
That is why, even with good Office 365 governance in place, I still see organizations that lack an understanding of the destination and of the rules that will get them to the desired place on time. Organizations that rely on Office 365 governance alone fall short in these areas:
Sponsorship: The Office 365 or SharePoint management team is overburdened because individual business units are asking for platform extensions or functionality that require resources, such as integration with Salesforce or Tableau. However, the requests are not aligned to organizational strategy, nor are they covered in the budget. Without authority, the support team is burdened, business users get frustrated with any pushback on requests and conflict is ever present.
Accountability: Frustrated with the lack of support for the platform or with extensive lockdown of SharePoint, users choose to set up other collaboration environments, such as Confluence. This results in multiple, similar document repositories, use of outdated information and documents for business decision-making, and wasted time.
Integrity: It is hard to maintain legal records of documents and business decisions when your digital workplace is in chaos. For any organization, this represents a legitimate risk in the event of a lawsuit. The problem is more severe for organizations in regulated fields like finance or life sciences.

How Digital Governance Can Help
Digital governance centers around accountability and decision-making for online channels, including digital workplace environments that contain Office 365. By clarifying who is accountable and responsible for defining key aspects of digital production, the organization can operate cleanly according to the established criteria for the following:
Governing authority: There is a clear understanding of who gets to sponsor and make decisions and who must abide by those decisions.
Strategy: There are well-defined guiding principles for digital collaboration across the enterprise, and everyone is aware of the outcomes the business expects as a result of its investment in digital.
Policies: Written guidelines dictate how the organization handles privacy, accessibility, records retention and other matters in the digital realm.
Standards: There are clear rules for all aspects of digital production, covering everything from colors and file formats to metadata specifications for search.
Digital governance not only clarifies who should define these aspects for the digital workplace; it also tells those accountable what they need to establish. Once that context is in place, it is easy to incorporate Office 365 along with its governance — or any other technology for that matter.
In my consulting experience, I find a nice overlap between broader digital governance policies and the way some of those policies can be embedded into Office 365's tools. It is that hierarchy that makes for sound governance and operations.

Enchanted (United States, 2007)
A movie review by James Berardinelli
Once upon a time, Disney was the king of animation. Today, in the realm of CGI and 3D, they remain at the top only by virtue of a partnership with Pixar. Hand-drawn animation - the kind responsible for many of Disney's most beloved classics - is passe (although there are frequent rumors of re-invigorating it), giving all big-screen cartoons the degree of sameness that results from increased computer participation. With Enchanted, Disney is opening a new front in the ongoing animation war. Call it "live action animation." While this is certainly not the first motion picture to blend drawn creations with real life actors, no movie to date has approached it quite this way.
The movie opens in the animated world of Andalasia, where Giselle (Amy Adams), a headstrong character in the best Disney tradition, dreams (with a little singing and dancing thrown in for good measure) of true love with a prince. That prince, Edward (James Marsden), is also a crooner and he falls for Giselle the moment he meets her. One person who isn't happy about this match is Edward's step-mother, Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon). She devises a plot to take Giselle far beyond Edward's reach - by banishing her to New York City. Abetted by his manservant, Nathaniel (Timothy Spall), and a talking chipmunk, Edward goes after Giselle.
Once in Times Square, the animation is gone. However, although the characters are now played by flesh-and-blood human beings, their personalities remain cartoonish. Giselle is unbelievably perky, Edward is manly (but not too bright), and the chipmunk (despite having lost his voice) shows brain power far in excess of what one might expect. Giselle is "rescued" from her predicament of being stranded in a strange land by single parent Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and his young daughter, Morgan (Rachel Covey). Robert may not believe her story, but he cannot leave her to fend for herself. For Giselle, this leads to an inevitable question: Who is her real prince - Edward or Robert?
The film's animated sequences have successfully captured the look and feel of classic Disney movies, albeit perhaps with tongue planted a little in cheek. Enchanted's director, Kevin Lima, was at the helm for Tarzan. The music is provided by veteran Alan Menken who, along with his late partner Howard Ashman, was responsible for the production numbers in The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. The animated scenes that form the prologue aren't long, but they serve as a valentine for anyone who looks back nostalgically at the kinds of movies Disney no longer makes.
The juxtaposition of an animated character in a real body creates some intriguing fish-out-of-water situations, several of which are effectively exploited by the screenplay. (Writer Billy Kelly also penned another fish-out-of-water film, Blast from the Past.) Eventually, however, the real world begins to influence Giselle's two-dimensional sprightliness. Like a bizarre amalgamation of Pinocchio and Eliza Doolittle, she transforms under Robert's tutelage from a three-dimensional representation of a two-dimensional personality into someone who is fully rounded in all ways. For Edward and Nathaniel, something similar happens although, without Robert's influence as a catalyst, it happens more slowly.
Enchanted's most obvious asset is Amy Adams, who is probably best known for her scene-stealing work in Junebug. Here, she outshines everyone around her, including the intentionally low-key Patrick Dempsey. Dempsey, whose career was resurrected by the television show Grey's Anatomy, has begun to do movies again and he exhibits a more mature version of the charm that made him a hit with teenage audiences during the 1980s. Meanwhile, Susan Sarandon gets to wear an outrageous costume and spout over-the-top dialogue - something she hasn't gotten a chance to do since The Witches of Eastwick.
Enchanted earns its label as a "family film" by virtue of its ability to captivate audience members both young and old. The storyline, tone, and approach are strictly animated but the filmmakers' decision to present most of the action using real people makes Enchanted feel more unique than might otherwise be the case. Enchanted may not be great cinema, but it's worthy of its title.

Holocaust Day Remembrance
Yom HaShoah Observance: This year, there will be several ways in which to observe Yom HaShoah (Sunday sundown through Monday night) in Albuquerque. Here are the first two events, scheduled for this weekend.
Ani Ma'amin
Ani Ma'amin (Hebrew for "I Believe") is a powerful and thought-provoking modern dance piece exploring the impact of the Holocaust on American Jews.
Choreographed by Shira Greenberg, the 85-minute piece runs with no intermission.
Five dancers recreate the experiences and themes expressed by multiple generations, beginning pre-war and culminating at the present-day.
Dynamic and emotional movement is threaded together with poetry and video testimonies from Holocaust survivors and children of survivors, with footage compiled from the University of Southern California's Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education.
All performances are followed by a Q&A audience discussion session to provide an avenue for the community of performers and audience members to process and discuss the work while exploring their reactions to the event and the intense subject matter.
Due to the intense nature of the piece, parental guidance is suggested for children under 13.
Click here for tickets.
Walk of Remembrance
For the first time (since Abq Jew has been in New Mexico), there will be a Holocaust Remembrance Day Walk in Albuquerque.
The walk will start at 1:00 pm in front of UNM's Dane Smith Hall, and will finish at the Duck Pond.
The approximate distance between the start and finish is 1.5 miles.This is in remembrance of the distance that many Jews walked to their death, and some to their liberation.
There is a parking structure on 601 Yale Blvd, Albuquerque, NM 87131 that is a short distance from Dale Smith Hall. But it's not free on Sunday!
However, we are allowed to park for free in any lot on campus or on the streets within the campus as long as it does not say RESERVED.
Feel free to bring your Israeli flags to wave high and proud! Feel free to bring banners or posters to carry, and candles to carry throughout the walk!
The organizer of this Holocaust Remembrance Day Walk is Samara Miller, a 20-year-old CNM student who came up with and is implementing this idea largely by herself.
Samara told Abq Jew:
When I first started [CNM] I had a class full of people that had never heard about the Holocaust.
For my final, I actually had the opportunity to interview two survivors and film the interview.
Both of the survivors stories were different experiences. But they both told me something in common.
Now that I had heard their stories, I had to keep it going.
Not to mention I am Jewish, so it's really close to my heart!
I want this to be a walk of life for us Jews! And for others to stand with us, as we remember the Holocaust and fight anti-Semitism, hatred, and intolerance.

Q: Core Data 2 different relationship from one entity to another I want to have this model :
Feature -> Image (relationship name: image inverse: feature)
Feature -> Image (relationship name: thumb inverse: feature)

Image -> Feature (relationship name: feature inverse: ????)

I can setup only one inverse. But it looks that i need both: image and thumb
UPDATE
One of the way is to create this model:
Picture has all that we need from Image
Image inherit picture
Thumb inherit picture
they share NSManagedObject Class.
Is this correct?
UPDATE 2
After @StuDev help my model looks like.

Thanks.

A: I would recommend setting up a model that looks something like this:

So using your notation:
Feature -> Image (destination: Image, inverse: feature)
Feature -> Thumb (destination: Thumb, inverse: feature)

Or, the other way around (the same thing really):
Image -> Feature (destination: Feature, inverse: image)
Thumb -> Feature (destination: Feature, inverse: thumb)

This way you keep access to your thumb and image separate, so you only need to load the one you need at that time. You shouldn't have a need to store the image and thumb within the same entity (correct me if I'm wrong...), so this setup keeps things nice and clear.

EDIT
Alternatively, if you would like to keep the image and thumb within the same NSManagedObject subclass (as you suggest in your update), then combine these as attributes within an entity "Picture" (or whatever you want to call it):

Using this approach, when you want to access either the image or thumbnail of a given feature, simply fault to the feature's picture, and then access the image or thumb:
UIImage *theThumbnail = [feature.picture thumb];  // Assuming you are storing the image & thumb as a transformable (UIImage) type

As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a violinist. My parents took me seriously and I started piano at four. Back in those days before Suzuki, a child had to take piano lessons first.
My older sister – by five years – was already taking piano from Miss Bertie Braden. So…I went along with her.
At recital time, Miss Braden wanted me to participate, and being the youngest of her students, I was to go first. We prepared and prepared and as final instructions, Miss Braden wanted me to turn around to the audience and smile as a friendly gesture, before I slide off the bench.
Then I turned around and smiled like THIS!
I heard the story so many times, I feel like I remember it well! Stories told remain alive!

Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek have become two of the dominant voices in contemporary philosophy and critical theory. In this book, Geoff Pfeifer offers an in-depth look at their respective views. Using Louis Althusser's materialism as a starting point—which, as Pfeifer shows, was built partially as a response to the Marxism of the Parti Communiste Français and partially in dialogue with other philosophical movements and intellectual currents of its times—the book looks at the differing ways in which both Badiou's and Žižek's work attempt to respond to issues that arise within the Althusserian edifice. Pfeifer argues here that, ultimately, Žižek's materialism succeeds in responding to these issues in ways that Badiou's does not. In building this argument, Pfeifer engages not only with the work of Althusser, Badiou, and Žižek and their intellectual backgrounds, but also with much of the contemporary scholarship surrounding these thinkers. As such, Pfeifer's book is an important addition to the ongoing debates within contemporary critical theory.
Geoff Pfeifer is Assistant Teaching Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Introduction 1. Louis Althusser and the Parti Communiste Français 2. En Media Res: Althusser's Materialism, the Challenge to the PCF's Marxism, and the Rise of Anti-Humanism 3. Badiou's Materialist Project: Stasis and Change 4. Badiou as Structuralist, or the Idealism of Formalism 5. Žižek and the Materialism of the Immaterial, or Why Hegel Is Not an Idealist 6. Žižek contra Badiou. Conclusion: New Materialism?
Geoff Pfeifer's The New Materialism provides the definitive account of the contemporary emergence of a form of materialism that goes beyond both traditional materialism and idealism. He sees how Althusser's incisive reading of Marx unleashed a complete rethinking of materialist philosophy. No one will be able to think about materialism in the same way after reading Pfeiffer's groundbreaking book.
With the 'return of Althusser' in the contemporary philosophical and political debates, Geoff Pfeifer's The New Materialism: Althusser, Badiou, and Žižek offers the most detailed investigation and reconstruction of Althusser's materialism, and it's influence on the two great contemporary philosophers, Badiou and Žižek. A must read for anyone who is interested in the contemporary revival of materialism.
Geoff Pfeifer's The New Materialism is essential reading for anyone interested in debates on contemporary materialist philosophy. Not only does Pfeifer provide clear and insightful readings of Badiou and Žižek; the book also applies their work to a rejuvenation of the materialism of Althusser. Reading Althusser through the prism of Badiou and Žižek, as well as the original political context of Althusser's political philosophy, Pfeifer demonstrates with precision important ties between these three key thinkers. Without idealizing the work of Althusser, the book shows just how in their reactions to him, Badiou and Žižek see through, each in their own way, corrections to his project to rid Marxism of its idealist and teleological variants, while still brining it to its full realization by developing approaches atypical of the idealism/materialism divide. Pfeifer ultimately explains why anyone wishing to grasp the "new" significance of Althusser's materialism must first pass through Badiou and Žižek.
Geoff Pfeifer makes one thing clear: it is all but easy to be a materialist in philosophy today. Until the mid 20th century, materialism consisted mainly in recognizing necessities and in resisting illusions of freedom. Today, however, we have to recognize, following Louis Althusser, that there are illusions of necessity that a "new" materialism has to break with. Only in this way can the underlying aleatory encounters be revealed, encounters that allow for unexpected social change. Pfeifer's scholarly meticulous, but easy to read elementary study, introduces the reader to the most prominent elaborations of this program by Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek. This book is a milestone on the way for anyone trying to be a materialist in philosophy these days, and a benchmark for all the fashionable attempts that claim to have already reached this goal.

One of the concerns that we often hear as staff when working with families is the topic of how to help a child cope with something that may be "different†about them.
We've all seen it happen. A child is out in public and perhaps they have a cleft lip or a missing limb and you catch someone or several individuals staring or often pointing at your child. They may mean no harm at all and quite possibly they are just curious, but this can often make a child or their parents feel very uncomfortable, especially if the child is of the age where they can distinguish differences and have come to realize something about me may be a little "differentâ€. Maybe you've been guilty of this or have seen others do this to you or your child when out in public.
This was Karen's story. As an adult affected by cleft lip and palate, she came to realize that many families affected by cleft conditions shared that oftentimes their children need a unique type of emotional support and a means to help them express and understand the feelings that they have about themselves, their appearance, and their treatment process as a child. It was due to this, that Karen decided to take on a project that has now grown substantially for children with cleft lip and palate.
