After epic trek to Masters win, Matsuyama shuns greatest tag

Hideki Matsuyama won't accept the title as Japan's greatest-ever golfer, but after a quarter-century journey from child novice to historic Masters champion, the usually humble star will accept some praise.
"I can't say I'm the greatest," Matsuyama said. "However, I'm the first to win a major, and if that's the bar, then I've set it."
Matsuyama won the 85th Masters on Sunday, becoming the first Japanese man to win a major title and capping a 25-year dream that started when his father began teaching him the sport when he was only four years old, even switching schools to boost his golf.
While the heroics of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods would catch his attention, Matsuyama recalled Japan's baseball stars having a bigger impact in his youth.
"The people that I admired were mainly baseball players: (Yu) Darvish, (Shohei) Ohtani, (Kenta) Maeda," Matsuyama said of three Japanese stars now on US Major League Baseball clubs.
"As far as golf, not so much. Hopefully now others will be inspired for what happened here today and follow in my footsteps."
Matsuyama's path took him to Tohoku Fukushi University in Sendai, where he honed the skills he used to win the 2010 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and earn a berth at the 2011 Masters.
Amateur dominance
In his first trip to Augusta National, Matsuyama won the Silver Cup as low amateur and shared 27th.
In 2011, he won the World University Games title and led Japan's gold medal team. He then won the 2011 Asia-Pacific crown as well and placed 54th at the 2012 Masters, becoming the first amateur to make consecutive Masters cuts since Manny Zerman in 1991-92.
Four months later, Matsuyama was named the amateur world number one. Eight months after that, he turned professional.
Matsuyama shared 10th at the 2013 US Open and cracked the top 50 in the world rankings as a result. In 2014, he won the Jack Nicklaus-hosted Memorial Tournament, the first US PGA win by a Japanese golfer in six years.
With his victory at Augusta National, Matsuyama now has six career US PGA triumphs, matching the total achieved by all other Japanese players on the US tour.
In 2016, Matsuyama captured the WGC event at Shanghai.
A year later, he finished second at the US Open and jumped to a career-high second in the world golf rankings. Also in 2017, Matsuyama won his second title at Phoenix and the WGC event in Akron, but that marked his last victory before an 87-start drought that ended with his green jacket.
Quiet but deadly
In a bid to snap his win drought, Matsuyama began working with coach Hidenori Mezawa.
"The last three years, there have been different probably reasons why I haven't been able to win," he said.
"I have a coach with me now from Japan. It has been a great help, a great benefit. Things that I was feeling in my swing, I could talk to him about that, and he always gives me good feedback. He has a good eye.
"It's like having a mirror for my swing. We worked hard, and hopefully, now it's all starting to come together."
Matsuyama, followed by Japanese media wherever he plays, pulled it all together for one fabulous week.
"I came to Augusta with little or no expectations, but as the week progressed, as I practiced, especially on Wednesday, I felt something again," he said.
"I found something in my swing. And when that happens, the confidence returns. And so I started the tournament with a lot of confidence."
He ended it with something new for his wardrobe and a place for the ages in Japanese sporting history.
And among those happiest for his triumph were his rivals.
"Hideki, not only is he at the top, he's a classy guy," England's Paul Casey said.
"He has got a humble attitude about him," said 2012 US Open winner Webb Simpson.
"Over there he is a big star, but there's a humility to him that is pretty cool to see in someone who has that much attention on him. Yeah, he's handled it well. I mean, it's been a long career already."
South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, warns he is quiet but deadly.
"Hideki is obviously quiet. He's doing his own thing, but it's all down to business when it comes to the golf course," Oosthuizen said.
"He's a fun guy. He's nice being around with. He's all around just a great player."

I've been collecting and penning through journals ever since I can remember. At eight or nine years old, you could find me taking notes at church, journaling about everyday life, filling a huge pink binder with handwritten stories, and more. As I've gotten older I've discarded a few of those old journal themes, but my love for journaling has not diminished. Now I keep spiritual growth journals, prayer journals, a blogging journal, and others similar to those.
Reading… Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman. I just started reading it so I can't say yet if I would recommend it. However, it is very good so far!

1 in 4 women across Ireland are being shamed for fake tanning
by Kat O'Connor
Feeling shame can impact negatively on women's wellbeing, confidence and mental health. A new survey conducted by St. Tropez, has found that shaming can be a very real part of Irish women's day-to-day life. In Ireland, tanning is commonplace, with 1 in 5 women wearing tan daily and almost half (44%) revealing they'd wear it to dinner.
Yet despite being the biggest tanning region of Great Britain with 65% of Irish women using self-tan vs 45% in the North of England (the UK region with the most number of self-tan wearers), why are so many shaming? Who is doing it and why?
55% of Irish women admit to judging their fellow females for wearing a sunless tan with 7 out of 10 (68%) women in Limerick admitting to having judged other women who use self-tan specifically compared to just over a half (54%) of women in Dublin.
58% of women who have experienced judging looks and insults say that their confidence was seriously knocked, they went straight home, and they did not wish to leave the house. Whilst 70% of the women surveyed admit a badly applied tan is the number 1 reason they judge another's appearance.
A post shared by St.Tropez (@sttropeztan) on Apr 6, 2019 at 8:32am PDT
Shocking. In an age where positive body confidence messages are high on the agenda in schools, the workplace and from consumer brands – it appears that its women who need to start supporting the cause.
But, in-spite-of the stigmas, the survey revealed that the top two reasons for Irish women proudly wearing fake tan are to make them feel confident and look well with 41% citing confidence in particular. In addition, having a post-holiday tan is a confidence booster for 27% of Irish women, which also suggests that golden glowing skin inspires us to feel our best and on top of our game.
These insights have led St. Tropez to boldly address the stigmas surrounding self-tanning head-on, with a motivational campaign entitled You Set the Tone which aims to highlight that tanning is more about how you feel than how you look and a goal of empowering women to feel more confident, every day. Launching on the 10th April, the campaign aims to put the Self back in self-tan and has the support of Philanthropist and Charity Founder, Katie Piper, as well as an army of brand fans.
Katie said, "I'm backing St. Tropez's You Set the Tone campaign as it's vitally important for women to feel confident in their own skin and with their own bodies, and if a beauty product or regime can help them achieve this, it can only be positive.
Every woman has an individual reason for how they wear their make-up or hair and it's no different with self-tan. Tanning doesn't just add colour, it can also help to even out skin tone, cover up pigmentation or redness, allow you to wear less make up or go without heavy foundations.
The survey findings show that us women need to be supporting and celebrating each other and finding ways to improve our self-esteem and ultimately, our mental wellbeing"
St. Tropez is pledging to give women across Ireland the tools to feel confident, look glowing and make tan-shaming for bad application a thing of the past with game-changing developments. New St. Tropez Purity Bronzing Water Gel, which sold out within hours of its official launch in February, is a one of a kind innovation that means no-streaks, no-transfer, no-stickiness and no-fake tan smell, and 88% of users agree.
Enough of the judgement! St. Tropez boldly empowers women to set their own tone.

Spark operates on resilient distributed datasets (RDDs). When you need to extract data out of Couchbase, the Couchbase Spark connector creates RDDs for you. You can create and persist RDDs by using key-value pairs, views, or N1QL.
This import adds Couchbase-specific methods to the SparkContext. Each method starts with couchbase.
It is critical that you specify the target document type. Otherwise, the client does not know how to convert it. The main reason is that Couchbase has first-class JSON support, but is also able to store any data. You can even store serialized objects or protobuf-encoded documents, but then you'll loose the secondary indexing capabilities.
If you are unsure what to pick, stick with the JsonDocument. If you need raw access to the JSON data, you can also use the RawJsonDocument.
Here you can see that couchbaseGet is not just available on the context, but also on every RDD[String]. Neat, right? The exact same approach is also available for spatial views (just use the couchbaseSpatialView() method instead).
Finally, if you are using Couchbase Server 4.0 or greater, you can utilize N1QL to perform efficient queries against your JSON data in a Couchbase Bucket. The following query is very similar to the one performed before through Views, just to show how the different approaches work.
You need to at least have a primary index created on the travel-sample bucket to make the following examples work. If you haven't done that already, perform a CREATE PRIMARY INDEX ON `travel-sample` query.
val query = "SELECT name FROM `travel-sample` WHERE type = 'airline' ORDER BY name ASC LIMIT 10"
val query = "SELECT META(`travel-sample`).id as id FROM `travel-sample` WHERE type = 'airline' ORDER BY name ASC LIMIT 10"
While this gives you the most flexibility with querying, we recommend using the higher level Spark SQL components through the DataFrame API. See the Spark SQL section for more information.
Creating an RDD is only half the story. After you've done your aggregation, filtering, and machine learning, you normally want to persist the results somewhere. Couchbase provides the saveToCouchbase() method on every RDD[Document].
The following example extracts all airline names through N1QL, aggregates them by country, and stores each list as a separate document. Since RDDs are source agnostic, the same approach can be used for example to load data out of HDFS and then store the results back in Couchbase.
val query = "SELECT name, country FROM `travel-sample` WHERE type = 'airline' ORDER BY name"
By default, the saveToCouchbase() method will use the StoreMode.UPSERT. There are more options available, including inserting and replacing (ignoring or failing on error).
We are also working on better support for automatic conversions from different types so that you don't have to map to a specific document type manually.
If you are running Couchbase Server 4.5 or later, you can use the "subdoc" API to fetch only a subset of the fields from a Document. This allows you to reduce network overhead, and you need to move less data between operations.
ids: The list of IDs to fetch the fragments from.
get: The paths of the JSON document that should be returned.
exists: The paths of the JSON document that should be checked for existence.
You can then extract the information from the SubdocLookupResult and use them in your RDD flow. Note that the Couchbase SDK also supports subdocument mutations which will be added to the Spark Connector in a future release.

Kathy Kallick (born September 19, 1952) is an American bluegrass musician, bandleader, vocalist, guitar player, songwriter, and recording artist.

Biography
Kallick's mother, Dodi Kallick, was a leading member of the Chicago-area folk music scene of the 1950s and '60s. She helped establish Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music and was the first performer at the No Exit Cafe (in Rogers Park, Chicago), introducing traditional musicians such as Frank Proffitt to midwestern audiences.  Kallick's father, Bruce Kallick, is an amateur guitarist who gave Kathy a Doc Watson LP record along with her first guitar.

Kallick began performing by singing harmony with her mother, and she attended numerous acoustic music concerts and festivals as a teen. Inspired by other Chicago songwriters of the time such as John Prine, Steve Goodman, and Tom Dundee, she began writing and performing her own songs at coffeehouses. When Kallick accompanied old-time fiddler Michael Drayton, she switched from being a fingerpicking to flatpicking guitarist. She discovered bluegrass music while attending the San Francisco Art Institute (BFA, 1977), where the local music scene was welcoming to women and songwriters.

Bands

1970s
In 1975, Kathy Kallick, Laurie Lewis, Barbara Mendelsohn, Dorothy Baxter, and Sue Shelasky performed three songs at an open mic. This marked the beginning of the Good Ol' Persons, one of the first all-women bluegrass bands. They released an album in 1977 (by which time Sue was replaced by brother Paul Shelasky) and enjoyed a twenty-year run, releasing five albums and touring throughout the U.S., including two appearances at Bill Monroe's Beanblossom Festival, as well as performances in Canada and Europe.

1980s
By 1980, the Good Ol' Persons lineup consisted of Kathy Kallick (guitar), John Reischman (mandolin), Sally Van Meter (dobro), fiddler Paul Shelasky (later Kevin Wimmer), and bassist Bethany Raine (later Beth Weil, then Todd Phillips). They were one of the first bluegrass bands to incorporate Latin, swing, folk, Cajun, and other musical genres into their music, as well as featuring the songwriting, lead playing, and vocal harmonies of women.

1996-Present
After the Good Ol' Persons disbanded, Kallick released three albums under her own name for Sugar Hill Records. In 1996, she formed the Kathy Kallick Band. Personnel for their first ten years and two albums included Tom Bekeny on mandolin, Amy Stenberg on bass, Avram Siegel on banjo, and, for the second, fiddler Brian Wicklund. The current iteration consists of Kallick, Bekeny, Annie Staninec on fiddle, Greg Booth on dobro and banjo, and Cary Black (previously Dan Booth) on bass; they have released three albums: Between the Hollow and the Highrise (2010), Time (2012), and Foxhounds (2015), and the band continues to tour widely across North America and Europe.

Other musical collaborations
Kallick has continued to collaborate with Laurie Lewis since their Good Ol' Persons days, releasing two albums, the latest of which is a tribute to their bluegrass mentors, Laurie & Kathy Sing the Songs Of Vern & Ray (2014). Kallick and Lewis also toured Japan with an all-star all-women band that also included Sally Van Meter, Lynn Morris, and Markie Sanders.  She has also toured and recorded with first generation bluegrass masters Frank Wakefield and Mac Martin, produced albums for High Country and Richard Brandenburg, and written and recorded award-winning music for children and families. Kallick appeared on four high-profile collections of bluegrass songs by women, as well as numerous compilation albums, some of which are included in the discography below.

She has worked with many of the country's other acclaimed acoustic musicians, including, in addition to those already mentioned, Peter Rowan, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Claire Lynch, Tim O'Brien, Ron Stewart, Jody Stecher, Kate Brislin, Darol Anger, Carol Elizabeth Jones, James Leva, Sandy Rothman, Bill Evans, Molly Tuttle, and Clive Gregson.

Teaching
Kallick is an experienced instructor, and has offered classes in singing, songwriting, guitar, and band coaching as part of many music camps including the California Bluegrass Association Music Camp, Rockygrass Academy (Colorado), Augusta Heritage Center (West Virginia), Sore Fingers (England), Puget Sound Guitar Workshop (Washington), Nimblefingers (British Columbia, Canada), Bluegrass at the Beach (Oregon), Walker Creek Music Camp (California), and the California Coast Music Camp.

Awards
Kallick has won a Grammy and two International Bluegrass Music Awards for True Life Blues: The Songs Of Bill Monroe. She also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Northern California Bluegrass Society  and a Lifetime Membership Award from the California Bluegrass Association.

Loni Love August 15, Venetian.
If likability is 50 percent of what makes a comedian great, Loni Love is halfway there before she sets foot onstage. If writing and telling well-crafted, intelligent jokes is the other 50 percent, however, Love is still only halfway there.
That might sound harsh, but consider this: Within the first five minutes of Love's Saturday-night set at the Venetian, she engaged the crowd with this played-out call and response technique, "Where my black people at?" Black people clap in obligatory fashion. "Fried-chicken-eating asses ..." This was followed by the bombshells that Hispanics enjoy tacos and white people love mayonnaise!
From there it was Paula Dean loves butter, Caitlyn confuses me because she looks like a woman but sounds like a man and Donald Trump is orange and has bad hair.
The frustrating part isn't that Love is taking on so many familiar subjects, but that she has nothing to say about them. Love can get away with putting on kid gloves before she throws punches on the assorted talk and clip shows from which most people know her. But onstage, there needs to be more honesty and craftsmanship.
It was just too little, too late.


Some students find it very difficult looking for academic sources, choosing and collecting relevant materials, creating an effective presentation strategy and choosing the best materials to add to their academic paper. However, there is nothing really difficult about it. The first thing you should keep in mind is choosing real reputable academic sources from non-academic ones. For your research, you should use primarily printed editions like books, journals, magazines, other printed academic papers, and so on. Those sources are considered the most reputable and the best for academic paper writing. They are easy to be cited and will make your paper look very serious and profound, regardless of what king of academic paper you're working on. Certainly, the best way to find such sources is visiting a library or a similar kind of organization.
However, in our times we all like using internet and finding everything we need online, without leaving our homes and even desks. It is possible to get access to various online libraries and other databases or academic works databases, this way receive an opportunity to use those for your research. It is usually required to become a member of such kind of online libraries, and even pay some fee for that. Still, it can be the best solution and the most suitable way to obtain relevant and up-to-date information on the topic of your academic work. You'll get a chance to browse through plenty of very good academic sources at any time. Plus, you'll be able to collect various information like charts, diagrams, graphs, even pictures, save those in your computer for further use in your work.
It is also very important to make notes as to from what academic source a certain piece of information or data is taken. When working on your paper, you'll have to make references and cite every specific piece of info or data that you borrowed from other authors or other sources. This should be done according to the rules and standard of the formatting style you selected for your work (APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian are among the most popular ones). Avoid using any online source like a web-site or online database which can not be cited and has no specific references. Remember that internet is packed with very good information, but using reputable academic sources for your work is a must.


Who's this teenager in my house?
Raising children through their adolescent years can be a struggle for the parents, as well as for their teen. Teens truly believe that they are fully mature and can handle any responsibility. They hone their negotiation skills and debate their point until victory is achieved. Some teens do exhibit good, common sense, and associate themselves with levelheaded friends who also use good judgement. Most, however, have an unrealistic sense of infallibility. They are impulsive and inconsiderate, believe they are indestructible and often get involved with risky behavior. They believe that they can never get hurt or caught, yet often find find themselves in dangerous situations. This thinking comes from the amygdala, which guides us to fight, flight or freeze. Their frontal cortex lobe, which is still developing, guides us to reason rather than react. So, when your teen begs you for opportunities which are unreasonable, just remember, he�s talking like a toddler, straight from his amygdala.

Hyperspectral image (HSI), which is widely known that contains much richer information in spectral domain, has attracted increasing attention in various fields. In practice, however, since a hyperspectral image itself contains large amount of redundant information in both spatial domain and spectral domain, the accuracy and efficiency of data analysis is often decreased. Various attempts have been made to solve this problem by image compression method. Many conventional compression methods can effectively remove the spatial redundancy but ignore the great amount of redundancy exist in spectral domain. In this paper, we propose a novel compression algorithm via patch-based low-rank tensor decomposition (PLTD). In this framework, the HSI is divided into local third-order tensor patches. Then, similar tensor patches are grouped together and to construct a fourth-order tensor. And each cluster can be decomposed into smaller coefficient tensor and dictionary matrices by low-rank decomposition. In this way, the redundancy in both the spatial and spectral domains can be effectively removed. Extensive experimental results on various public HSI datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the traditional image compression approaches.

Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles
"A really enlightening documentary" Claudia Puig, FilmWeek
The origin story behind one of Broadway's most beloved musicals, Fiddler on The Roof, and its creative roots in early 1960s New York, when "tradition" was on the wane as gender roles, sexuality, race relations and religion were evolving.
"Max Lewkowicz's documentary emerges as essential viewing by exposing the behind-the-scenes drama and on-stage magic of 'Fiddler on the Roof,' a musical and cultural landmark whose influence spans nations, races, religions and generations." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"[T]his engaging and enlightening documentary is stuffed with anecdotes, history and information. It makes excellent use of both new interviews and carefully selected archival footage to reveal the building blocks of all this accomplishment." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"The heart of "Fiddler" is family, and the film really touches on the meaning of family -- where not everything is pretty, and not everyone gets along, yet there's a connective tissue that offers a warm embrace to the audience." - Yolanda Machado, TheWrap

Getting to Know Lukasz Kubot: The Newest Threat To the ATP's Top 50
By Nima Naderi
Making the successful transition from the doubles circuit to the singles court on the ATP World Tour can become a next to impossible feat.
Often times, those players who reside on the doubles circuit do not possess the adequate skill-set or power quotient in their games to consistently challenge the world's best singles players. As a result, childhood dreams of winning Wimbledon or capturing the US Open quickly fade away and are replaced with earning a living and covering expenses.
However, there are have been a few instances on the men's circuit when a player, who primarily competes on the doubles circuit, has successfully made a name for himself while competing in singles competition.
Meet Lukasz Kubot.
Improving his ranking from No. 209 in the world at the beginning of last year, to his current spot of No. 56 on the computer, took much more than wishful thinking from the Polish native. Knowing that in order to give his singles career a shot, the commitment would have to be set forth to participate in the tedious qualifying rounds which consume the prior weekend of main draw action.
Traveling the world over through doubles competition, Kubot was dealt a potential blow to his ego when he was relegated to taking part on the Challenger circuit. Not the most prestigious of events, the Challenger circuit provides no ball-boys on court; no line challenges; no towels, and perhaps worst of all forces players to flip their own scorecards.
Gaining an upper echelon singles ranking would involve taking a step back and playing the minor leagues on a consistent basis—a road Kubot was more than happy to take.
Would all the hard work be worth it for Kubot, considering he was ranked No. 11 in the world in doubles?

Dyson est une société anglaise d'électroménager, fondée et présidée par James Dyson. Les principaux produits de cette entreprise sont des aspirateurs à séparation cyclonique sans sac, des purificateurs d'air, des ventilateurs, des sèche-cheveux et des sèche-mains.

Histoire

Après avoir développé sur fonds propre le premier aspirateur à séparation cyclonique baptisé G-Force, James Dyson parvient à le faire commercialiser en 1983 au Japon après signature d'un contrat de production sous licence par un fabricant nippon. Il rencontre des réticences en Angleterre pour y faire fabriquer ses aspirateurs en partie du fait de l'impact qu'il aurait sur le marché lucratif des sacs d'aspirateurs. Il décide donc d'utiliser les revenus de ses ventes sous licence au Japon du G-Force pour créer sa propre usine dont la construction débute en 1992.

James Dyson ouvre l'année suivante son propre centre de recherche et de fabrication Dyson à Chippenham. Ainsi, en mai 1993, sort au Royaume-Uni le DC01, premier aspirateur à séparation cyclonique estampillé Dyson, au prix indicatif de . Le chiffre d'affaires de Dyson s'élève alors à  de livres sterling et atteint en 1994,  de livres sterling.

En , le DC01 est l'aspirateur le mieux vendu du Royaume-Uni. En mars sort son successeur, le DC02, qui devient le second modèle traîneau le mieux vendu dans le palmarès GFK. En août, la société Dyson quitte Chippenham et achète une usine plus grande à Malmesbury. Dyson obtient alors la plus importante commande de produits électriques de la part du Japon. À la fin de l'année, le chiffre d'affaires de Dyson atteint  de livres sterling.

Dyson s'étend dès 1996 et crée ses propres filiales de vente et après-vente en Australie, aux Pays-Bas, en France, en Belgique et en Suède. La nouvelle usine de Malmesbury est officiellement inaugurée par le prince de Galles. En septembre, Dyson lance le nouveau DC02 , le premier aspirateur équipé d'un filtre HEPA et d'un écran bactéricide, présenté au Festival International du Design de Glasgow. Dyson lance en octobre les éditions limitées DC01 et DC02  en hommage au mouvement de design hollandais et à l'utilisation radicale de couleur par le groupe pour souligner la fonction et la forme. Le salon «  » (créer un Dyson) ouvre ses portes au . L'histoire de James Dyson est racontée dans l'ouvrage , qui paraît en même temps que se tient le salon. À la fin de l'année 1996, le chiffre d'affaires de Dyson est de  de livres sterling ;  sont vendus chaque mois.

Des filiales Dyson ouvrent en Turquie, en Nouvelle-Zélande et en Tchéquie. Le DC02 Recyclone est lancé, il s'agit du premier aspirateur fabriqué à partir de matériaux recyclés. En novembre, Chris Smith, Ministre de la Culture britannique, inaugure le Centre Dyson pour l'éducation et la formation au  de Londres. Fin 1997, le chiffre d'affaires de Dyson est de  de livres sterling. Les ventes mondiales annuelles atteignent  de livres sterling. L'année suivante, Dyson crée un bureau de vente et après-vente en Allemagne. En avril, Tony Blair annonce que le DC02 a été sélectionné comme l'un des premiers produits du Millénaire ; sort alors le DC03. En juillet, Dyson sponsorise le pavillon de design produit. En septembre, la société ouvre une filiale en Espagne. En novembre a lieu le lancement du DC05, en décembre, une filiale est ouverte au Japon. En fin d'année, Dyson ouvre un centre de Recherche et de Développement Dyson à Malmesbury. Le chiffre d'affaires est de  de livres sterling et les ventes mondiales annuelles atteignent  de livres sterling.

En février de la même année, sort le DC04, et en décembre commence à être testé en conditions réelles, chez des consommateurs, le DC06, l'aspirateur  robotisé. Cette annonce suscite une grande curiosité partout dans le monde. Les objectifs de performances sont atteints, mais de nouvelles recherches sont nécessaires pour le rendre plus pratique et plus accessible financièrement. Il retourne dans les mains de l'équipe de développement.

Années 2000
Dyson lance en novembre le Contrarotator, appelé plus couramment CR01, le premier lave-linge au monde doté de deux tambours qui tournent en sens opposés, pour un nettoyage plus en profondeur et plus rapide. Dyson se lance en Autriche, en Italie ainsi qu'au Danemark. Dyson annonce l'accroissement de sa production et la création d'une nouvelle usine en Malaisie. Cela permet d'étoffer le Centre de Recherche et de Développement au Royaume-Uni. Dyson Demo s'ouvre à Paris, premier espace propre à Dyson où sont exposés ses produits et où est expliquée leur technologie ainsi que la façon dont ils ont été conçus, puis produits.

En avril de la même année, Dyson lance la nouvelle technologie Root Cyclone avec le DC07, un nouvel aspirateur qui déploie 45 % d'aspiration en plus par rapport aux précédents Dyson à technologie  ; c'est l'aspirateur brosseur le plus puissant sur le marché. Aux États-Unis, après avoir rejeté l'offre de Dyson de racheter sa licence, Fantom fait faillite. Pour contrer certains concurrents, Dyson est contraint de faire une offre pour racheter ses propres licences et même ses propres brevets. La Cour Suprême statue sur le fait que l'entreprise Hoover a empiété sur le brevet Dyson, et est donc condamnée à verser  de livres sterling de dommages-intérêts à Dyson et à retirer le Triple Vortex du marché.

En juin, Dyson lance l'aspirateur DC08, le plus populaire des Dyson, premier aspirateur-traîneau doté de la technologie . En août, Dyson réintroduit ses aspirateurs aux États-Unis au Conran  de New York.

At work Health
Fear of pregnancy discrimination may be putting some workers at risk
"The pregnancy stereotype is a silent stressor. It is not always visible, but it really impacts women in the workplace."
PHOTO EDITED BY WE REP STEM.
Fear of pregnancy discrimination may be putting some employees at risk, according to a new study published in the journal Work & Stress. The Washington State University study by Lindsey M. Lavaysse and Tahira M. Probst found fear of being perceived as incompetent, or weak, or less committed, prompted about 63 per cent of the participants to over-exert, engage in risky behaviour, or attempt to conceal their pregnancy.
"The pregnancy stereotype is a silent stressor. It is not always visible, but it really impacts women in the workplace," Lavaysse said in a statement.
"Most organizations have policies for pregnancy accommodation in place, and it's a legal right, but if the organization's culture suggests there will be retaliation or that workers will be looked upon differently, then women will shy away from using accommodations that are better for their health and their safety."
For their paper, Lavaysse and Probst surveyed around 400 pregnant employees three times over two months. They worked in several sectors, including manufacturing, retail, and health care and all were employed in physically demanding jobs, defined in the paper as involving long work hours, shift work, lifting, standing, or high physical workload.
FEAR OF DISCRIMINATION CAN BE DANGEROUS
Women who were the most fearful of confirming pregnancy stereotypes (referred to in the paper as having a high 'stereotype threat' or 'ST') had nearly three times as many work-related accidents as those who had low fears of confirming pregnancy stereotypes.
The paper found that fears increased as pregnancy progressed.
"We propose that in an attempt to maintain their professional social identity, women may avoid enacting behaviours that could potentially confirm negative stereotypes of pregnant workers – even if this means placing themselves and the unborn child at risk," reads an excerpt from the paper.
"Pregnant employees' concern over negative stereotypes is not unfounded; indeed, research indicates that pregnant women face discrimination at work*. Moreover, even when pregnant employees request pregnancy-related accommodations, these requests may be denied**, resulting in pregnant employees having to choose between losing their job or continuing to perform potentially risky job-related behaviours."

The authors concede the study has its limitations. For starters, many of the participants were self-selected and some dropped out during the two months.
While the findings do not draw significant conclusions based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital or disability status, or income level, the results hint that individuals who are intersectional minorities could be at greater risk of work-related pregnancy discrimination.
In a follow-up conference presentation, Lavaysse dug deeper into the intersectional aspect and found the more intersectionality a pregnant worker possesses, the more likely they are to experience a high stereotype threat.
"Workers may also experience larger increases in stereotype threat as their pregnancy progresses if they identify with stigmatized identities," reads an excerpt from the presentation.
VIDEO: UNDERSTANDING INTERSECTIONALITY
PARTICIPANT BREAKDOWN
According to the paper:
64.1 per cent of the participants were Caucasian
20.9 per cent Asian American
7.2 per cent Black
6.2 per cent Latina
0.5 per cent Native American
0.7 per cent Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and
0.2 per cent had more than one ethnicity.
About 45 per cent of the participants held a Bachelor's degree, and 76 per were pregnant for the first time.
Around half were in their first trimester. The majority were married (79.5 per cent), Christian (50.8 per cent), and American (91.6 per cent).
EDITED BY WE REP STEM.
INTERSECTIONALITY AND MATERNAL HEALTH
Research suggests people with intersecting identities are more likely to be discriminated against overall — and Black women are particularly vulnerable during pregnancy, from job discrimination as well as poor maternal outcomes resulting from racism in the health care system.
According to The National Partnership for Women and Families, Black women are three times more likely to have fibroids that can lead to post-partum hemorrhaging when compared to white women. Black women are also more likely to present signs of preeclampsia earlier in pregnancy than white women, a condition that can be lethal if left untreated.
NEW BRUNSWICK OFFICIALS LAUNCH PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION GUIDELINES
In December 2019, a Canadian provincial Human Rights Commission addressed this issue head-on by releasing new guidelines on pregnancy discrimination.
The New Brunswick Human Rights Commission announced the recommendations on December 10 to align with Human Rights Day.
"Discrimination against pregnant women and women of childbearing age manifests in subtle ways and works to marginalize and disempower these women, preventing them from following their career paths and achieving their full professional potential," said commission chair Nathalie Chiasson.
"Conduct, practices, or policies that discriminate against women because of pregnancy or pregnancy-related circumstances are in violation of human rights legislation. This guideline is being issued to remind employers, landlords, and service providers that, under the law, they must fulfill their obligation to accommodate these women, who contribute to the economic, social, and demographic development of New Brunswick society."
The New Brunswick guidelines focus on pregnancy discrimination in housing, services, and employment sectors.

MOL Group to implement green hydrogen at refinery coprocessing renewable diesel
MOL Group's Danube refinery in Hungary (Photo: MOL Group)
Hungary-based international oil and gas company MOL Group has teamed up with Plug Power Inc. to build what the companies say will be one of Europe's largest-capacity green hydrogen production facilities at MOL Group's Danube Refinery in Százhalombatta, Hungary. Green hydrogen will reduce the carbon footprint of refinery operations. MOL Group began coprocessing renewable diesel at the Danube Refinery last year. The company is also a joint-venture partner in Rossi Biofuel, which recently opened a new biodiesel plant in Hungary utilizing Austria-based BDI-BioEnergy International's novel RepCat process technology.
MOL Group's new green-hydrogen facility at the Danube Refinery will cost 22 million euros (USD$23.2 million) and will use a 10-megawatt (MW) electrolysis unit from Plug Power to produce approximately 1,600 tons of carbon-neutral green hydrogen per year. According to MOL Group, this will remove up to 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide by displacing the currently used natural gas-based production process.
"As this process represents one-sixth of the carbon dioxide emissions of MOL Group, this investment supports MOL's carbon-neutrality goals and will contribute to energy independence for the region," MOL Group stated. "Once operational in 2023, MOL will use the green hydrogen in its Danube Refinery during fuel production of its own hydrogen system. It will be incorporated into the molecules of MOL fuels, lowering the carbon outputs from the production technology and the final product."
Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug, said, "Green hydrogen addresses two critical issues facing humanity: climate change and energy independence. And our opportunities seem limitless to support the trend to pull green hydrogen into more traditional industrial hydrogen markets throughout the world."
The Plug equipment uses renewable electricity to split water into oxygen and hydrogen gas via electrolysis. By producing 1 ton of hydrogen, 8 to 9 tons of pure oxygen are also produced by the equipment, saving nearly 10,000 tons of natural-gas consumption in the process, according to MOL Group.
MOL Group is targeting carbon-neutral operations by 2050.


In this week, the partners in the project will collaborate in a group residency, bringing together their various concepts, knowledge and tools to produce a collaborative prototype for the eventual outcome of the project – a transformative, mobile architecture, that will seek to open perceptions, relations, movements and behaviors up to indeterminacy. During the week, the partners will transform all of the STEIM studios into a space of meta-formances, bodily experiences and transformative architectures.
This presentation will include presentations on the theoretical background, as well as critiques on the technology used, and discussions between the partners and visitors.
MetaBody addresses the importance of non-verbal communication and embodied expressions for cultural diversity as a fundamental form of cultural heritage. Current information technologies induce forms of homogenisation of non-verbal expressions while subjecting people to an increasing control, thus undermining fundamental freedoms. This empoverishment of cultural expressions on a global scale is undermining diversity and civil rights while expanding the possibilities for ubiquitous and invisible surveillance worldwide.

Q: Improving text readability with CSS I am trying to style this pen and I can't quite get the right CSS for the text to make it more readable and not looking overcrowded.
Core CSS:
p{
    color: #000;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.25em;
    padding: 0 0 1em 0;
    text-align: justify;
}

I plan to use the improved CSS both for the normal, desktop version and for mobile. Here's a screen of what I think is a great example of readability for mobile.

A: line-height, font-size, color are all good. I usually use color: #333 or color: #777 to create less contrast between a white background and black letters.
You may also want to consider letter-spacing, which creates a more "airy" sense with more whitespace between text characters:
h1 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    font-weight: bold;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    letter-spacing: .05em
}

p {
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased !important;
  -moz-font-smoothing: antialiased !important;
  text-rendering: optimizelegibility !important;
  letter-spacing: .03em;
}

DEMO: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ojaMEy

A: With a font-size of 24px and a line-height set at 1.5em the text will look much like the example you have provided. After that just break up the paragraphs into easily readable chunks.
That seems to be the simplest answer as long as I'm not misunderstanding the problem.
