Glass-Colored Roses is a series of miniatures for piano, played here with great sensitivity by my friend Jonathan Kotulski.
Glass-Colored Roses has been described as "exquisitely beautiful," "silly," "clever," and "odd, but nice," and that's just for the title. It also seems to be a fair summary of the composition itself. The nine miniature pieces in this set dabble in the wide palate of tonal colors available on the piano, using compositional techniques from aleatoric to modal. The titles are more evocative than descriptive. If you find a hidden meaning in any part of this composition, enjoy it, but I didn't put one there.
Music by Eric M. Pazdziora. Performed by Jonathan Kotulski.

Being Brunel Museum
The museum comprises a steel-frame exhibition hall containing multiple gallery spaces and a mezzanine level and a café and was designed in the style of the Great Exhibition, with exposed curved trusses and exposed column connections. There were particular engineering challenges associated with the proximity of the building to the harbour wall. Piled foundations were installed with the ground floor cantilever levering over the piles towards the harbour wall.
The new two-storey building lies alongside Brunel's historic ship ss Great Britain and as completed in February 2018. Brunel's ss Great Britain remained fully open while the new museum was built.
The 'Being Brunel' project is a unique new museum to preserve the legacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and which is helping to maintain Bristol as a destination of choice for heritage and culture.
The museum, built in the existing SS Great Britain dock yard and joined by a link bridge to the original Grade II listed dock office (Brunel's one-time drawing office), has been designed to reflect the historic nature of the nearby wharf buildings and in sympathy with the surrounding developments.
An inordinate number of challenges were overcome to deliver the building on the exact location of Brunel's former office. The project involved complex logistical challenges during the construction, whilst undertaking major works including piled foundations, structural steelwork, roofing, cladding and a major internal fit out to create a unique and inspirational, interactive visitor experience.
Construction was completed within a live museum, over a historic harbour wall, bound between the floating harbour and the SS Great Britain ship and undertaken whilst accommodating over 150,000 visitors to the main attraction.
The successful delivery of the project on time, within budget to the specified quality and with no compromise to health and safety standards was the result of a clear understanding of the project goals, excellent communication, detailed planning and a strong team ethos. It was the passion, determination and shared goal of the team which successfully completed the new museum on time, within budget and with an exemplary health and safety record.
Clarkebond's re-engineering of a design by others greatly reduced the amount of steel used, reduced excavations and arisings to be sent to waste, halved the number of vehicle movements during the construction stage of the project, thereby reducing carbon emissions accordingly, and saved £500k for the client.
In the first 3 months of operation The Being Brunel museum received some excellent reviews and attracted over 75,000 visitors.

They can have him! At least Otis won't make a dumb move by signing him to back up Nelson now.
Yep, and now hopefully I won't have to see all those Carlos Arroyo jerseys anymore at the O-rena.
Those old jerseys were awesome. I wish they brought them back.
Yeah, even though I only own one of the 2004-2008 jerseys, I very much prefer the T-Mac era ones.
Yeah the pinstripes were good too. This years are supposedly supposed to look like them.
I'm going to have to buy a new Orlando Magic jersey this year when the new ones come out. I'm just a bit torn as to who's I should buy. I'll probably get a Rashard Lewis one.
Yeah he is under contract the longest.lol. I just hope they look good.
wait what they are coming out with new jerseys again ?
I'm not sure of the exact date, but there's been a picture floating around that shows Lee in the new blue Magic jersey (but only from around the neck up). It looks like pinstripes are back!
^Do you really care? Cause whenever i see you post, its like 3 words.

Jacob Theodor Klein (nickname Plinius Gedanensium; 15 August 1685 – 27 February 1759) was a German jurist, historian, botanist, zoologist, mathematician and diplomat in service of Polish King August II the Strong.

Life
Klein was born on 15 August 1685 in Königsberg, Duchy of Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). He studied natural history and history at the University of Königsberg. Between 1706 and 1712, Klein travelled through England, Germany, Holland and Austria in an educational journey, before returning to Königsberg.

He moved to Danzig after the death of his father, where he was elected city secretary in 1713. Between 1714 and 1716 he served as the city's representative, or "resident secretary at court," (residierender Sekretär) in Dresden and then Warsaw.

Klein began his scientific works in 1713 and began publishing his findings by 1722, as a member of the Institute of Sciences in Bologna. Influenced by Johann Philipp Breyne, his works dealt with matters of zoological nomenclature, and he set up his own system of classification of animals, which was based on the number, shape, and position of the limbs. He used his position as secretary to found a botanical garden there (now called Ogród Botaniczny w Oliwie).

For his work in the natural sciences, Klein had been rewarded with membership of several scientific societies, including the Royal Society in London, the Academy of in St. Petersburg, the Deutsche Gesellschaft in Jena, and the Danzig Research Society.

One of Klein's daughters, Dorothea Juliane Klein, married physicist Darniel Gralath, who would become mayor of Danzig. Gralath inherited Klein's library, which was praised by Swiss mathematician Jogann Bernoulli.

Klein died on 27 February 1759 in Danzig.

Botanical garden and "Museum Kleinianum"

Using his position as secretary of Danzig and with the help of other scholars, Klein set up a botanical garden in 1718, which was one of, if not the largest of its time. The garden was expanded to include live animals, zoological, fossil and amber collections, the shell collection of the mayor of Amsterdam Nicolaus Witsen, as well as a greenhouse which he used for experimentation with exotic plants. The collection became known as the Museum Kleinianum. It was sold to  Margrave Friedrich of Brandenburg-Kulmbach in 1740. After the Margrave's death in 1763, the collection was donated to the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). It was praised by prominent Swiss mathematician Johann Bernoulli, who visited the museum in 1777 or 1778.

Scientific works

System of classification
Inspired by Johann Phillipp Breyne, Klein developed an interest in science as early as 1713 and began publishing in 1722. He was especially interested in the systematic classification of living organisms, but excluded insects from his classifications. His system was based on external, easily identifiable traits, such as the number, shape and position of limbs. This put his work in opposition with that of Carl von Linné, of whom he was critical, and whose work has since garnered more widespread recognition, though some of Klein's classifications are still in use, for example, in the naming of echidnoderms. His work on sea urchins was the most prominent source of information on the species at the time. His essay Tentamen Herpetologiae (1755) featured the first mention of the term herpetology - the study of amphibians. However, his system of classification meant that species such as frogs and lizards, which belong to amphibians and reptiles respectively, were not distinguished as belonging to separate classes. Klein was critical of Linnaeus' system of classification, believing only easily recognisable features could be used to classify animals, as Adam had done when naming animals according to the Biblical story of creation.

Historiae Piscium Naturalis

Klein published Historiae Piscium Naturalis promovendae Missus primus Gedani in 1744. The publication, dedicated to the Royal Society, focused on understanding the auditory capacity of cartilaginous and spinose fishes. According to John Eames, until the publication of the work, it was believed to have been understood that only cetaceous fish were known to have auditory passages, or ear holes, and that the question of whether fish could hear was still not understood. Aristotle claimed, in his "History of Animals," that fishes possessed no evident auditory organs, but believed that nonetheless they must hear. In the Preface, Klein cites the work of Giulio Casare Casseri, who discovered bones in the heads of Pike or Jack fish, which he understood to be their organs of hearing, though he did not discover any manifest external auditory passages. In section of the essay titled De Lapillis, eorumque Numero in Craniis Piscium (roughly translated as "The bones, their number in the skull of Fish") Klein considers what parts of the head of fish serve as the organ of hearing, and by what passages the sensation of sound is communicated to them. He refers to these bones as Ossicula – little bones – and considers them essential parts of the head, generated with the brain itself. He notes that the bones scale proportional to the size of the fish, and are most easily discovered in the heads of Spinose fish. Klein identifies three pairs of bones to which he attributes the sense of hearing, and he takes to correspond to the Incus, Malleus and Stapes of other animals. The first are the two largest, which he explains are easily found; the other two pairs, he explains, are small, difficult to find, enveloped in distinct fine membranes. Klein believed one could determine the age of fish by analysing the number and thickness of the Laminae and fibres of these bones. The bone to which Klein was referring, now called the otolith, acquires a growth ring every day for at least the first six months of its life. Klein inquiries into the nature of the passages by which vibrations produce a sense of hearing. He inspects the head of a Pike fish and observes several holes with bristles which lead to the auditory bones. He later dissected a Sturgeon fish and traced the auditory duct to the membrane in which the three bones are placed. Klein concludes that fishes do indeed have hearing organs and passages, communicated to through slight vibrations, though these passages are not easily demonstrable in many species. He observes that the auditory organs of cetaceous, cartilaginous and spinose fish differ from one another in structure and substance. The auditory organs of cetaceous fish are bony, while they are more fragile for cartilaginous fishes, he explains. He adds that water does not act as an impediment to hearing, but rather is the "intermedium" by which sound is communicated.

Honours
Klein had been awarded the membership of several scientific societies, including the Royal Society in London, the St. Petersburg Academy, and the Danzig Research Society. The name of the genus Kleinia was given to the plant family of Compositae (Asteraceae) by Linnaeus in honour of Klein's works. He was described as the most important natural philosopher of his century by Professor Johann Daniel Titius.

Criticism
Although well respected by his colleagues, Klein was nonetheless accused by some contemporaries of being unscientific, alleging that he based his beliefs on the hearsay and the claims of 'credulous' people. The 1760 edition of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London published a letter by 18th Century botanist and Fellow of the Royal Society, Peter Collinson, criticizing Klein for his belief that swallows (sand martins) are not migratory birds, and instead 'retire under water' during winters. Collinson accused Klein's assertion as being "contrary to nature and reason," and provided observations of Marine officers, such as Sir Charles Wager, to further his claim.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of March 31, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. Honeywell completed the annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2018 and determined that there was no impairment as of that date.
Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and other intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 to 24 years.
Other intangible assets, net Sum of the carrying amounts of all intangible assets, excluding goodwill, as of the balance sheet date, net of accumulated amortization and impairment charges. Honeywell International Inc.'s other intangible assets, net declined from 2016 to 2017 and from 2017 to 2018.
Goodwill Amount after accumulated impairment loss of an asset representing future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Honeywell International Inc.'s goodwill increased from 2016 to 2017 but then declined significantly from 2017 to 2018.
Goodwill and other intangible assets, net Sum of the carrying amounts of all intangible assets, including goodwill, as of the balance sheet date, net of accumulated amortization and impairment charges. Honeywell International Inc.'s goodwill and other intangible assets, net increased from 2016 to 2017 but then declined significantly from 2017 to 2018.
Adjusted total asset turnover An activity ratio calculated as total revenue divided by adjusted total assets. Honeywell International Inc.'s adjusted total asset turnover deteriorated from 2016 to 2017 but then slightly improved from 2017 to 2018.
Financial leverage is the extent to which a company can effect, through the use of debt, a proportional change in the return on common equity that is greater than a given proportional change in operating income.

text:
St. George was born about 280 A.D. of a Christian family that was wealthy and of noble origin, in the city of Cappadocia, a city of the Eastern Empire, in Asia Minor. His father's name was Anastasius, and his mother's name was Theobaste. When he was twenty years old, his father died, and he went to Emperor Diocletian to take over his father's position. He found that the Emperor had apostatized the faith and ordered the worship of idols. George was sorrowful, and he gave all his wealth to the poor and needy and set free his slaves.
He followed the usual career of young nobleman and joined the Roman army, where his ability and charm brought him quick promotion. The Emperor heard about him and as a result made him an officer in the Imperial Guard.
Diocletian gave orders for the issue of a formal edict against the Christians on February 23, in the year 303 A.D. The provisions of this edict, which was published on the next day in the market place, were as follows: "All churches should be leveled to the ground and all sacred books to be burned. All Christians who hold any honorable rank are not only to be degraded, but also to be deprived of civil rights. Also, All Christians who are not officials are to be reduced to slavery".
In great courage, our young St. George, became raged and tore it. They took him before the Emperor, and he cried in their midst saying: "For how long you shall pour your anger against the innocent Christians, and force those who know the true faith to adopt the faith that you are in doubt of because it is fraudulent? So, either you believe on this true faith, or at least do not disturb with foolishness those who are steadfast in it."
When the Emperor was weary of torturing him, he brought a magician, whose name was Athanasius, who gave the Saint a cup full of poison to drink. St. George made the sign of the cross over the cup then drank it. When no harm came upon him, the magician believed in the Lord Christ, and received the crown of martyrdom. The Emperor became raged and ordered to squeeze him until he delivered up his soul, and they cast his body out side the city.
The Lord Christ raised him up, and the Saint returned to the city. When the people saw him, three thousand and seven hundred souls believed. The Emperor ordered to cut off their heads and they received the crown of martyrdom.
When St. George stood before Emperor Diocletian, along with seventy kings that were sitting around him, they asked the Saint: "We wish you to make these chairs that we are sitting on to put forth leaves, and bear fruit." The Saint prayed to the Lord Christ, the Lord accepted his supplication and the chairs put forth leaves and bore fruit.
They took him once to a cemetery and asked him to raise the dead therein. He prayed to the Lord Christ. The Lord raised them and after they talked to them, they returned to their graves and died.
A poor woman, brought her son, who was blind, deaf and dumb, he prayed to the Lord Christ then made the sign of the cross over him, and he was healed right away.
Diocletain, during all that, went on torturing St. George, until he was weary and bored of that. He started to be pleasant to the Saint and promised to give him his daughter in marriage if he would offer the incense to his gods. The Saint pretended that he accepted his offer, and the Emperor rejoiced and brought him into the royal palace. While St. George was praying the Psalms, the Empress heard him and asked him to explain to her what he had said. He began to interpret to her all the events from the creation of the world to the Incarnation of the Lord Christ, and his words entered her heart and she believed in the Lord Christ, to whom is the Glory.
The Emperor ordered to call upon all the men of the city to gather, in order to see Saint George offering the incense to the Emperor's gods. When multitude gathered by the idols, Gawargios (George) stood and cried at the idols in the Name of the Lord Christ the Savior of the world. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed all the idols. The Emperor and all those who were with him were ashamed and he returned to his palace full of fury and wrath. The Empress told him: "Didn't I tell you not to oppose the Galileans, for their God is strong and mighty?" The Emperor was exceedingly wrath with her, for he knew that St. George had brought her also to his faith. The Emperor with rage ordered to comb her body with a steel comb, then cut off her head, and she received the crown of martyrdom. Finally, Diocletian decided to put an end to the humiliation that befell him, so he ordered to cut off the head of St. George, and he received the crown of martyrdom. A Christian took the body, wrapped it in expensive shrouds, and took it to the city of Lydda, his home town, and they built a great church on his name there.
His intercession be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.


Before the entry into force of the Regulation on Community designs in 2002, the Member States of the European Union had separate systems of design protection through national registrations, which meant a separate application in each country. The protection was limited to the territory of that country for durations that varied depending on the country. Designers had no guarantee that, across the European Union, their creations were granted the same degree of protection, that they were protected against the same actions and for the same durations. But today, the situation is different since the laws have been harmonised through the Designs Directive. A design can now be registered individually in each Member State, if protection throughout the whole EU is not sought, with a higher degree of legal security than before the approximation of national laws. Designers now have the possibility to file national registrations without encountering the problem of disparities between the laws of different Member States.
An alternative form of protection is the international system of the Hague Agreement administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This agreement confers national protection by filing a single application with WIPO, designating the states for which protection is sought. This system, however, is not applicable in all EU Member States (today it applies to Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia and Hungary plus certain other non-EU countries, in total 42 countries).
Another alternative for protecting designs is the Community design system that offers a truly new opportunity to protect your 3D or 2D creations throughout the European Union in a convenient and cost-effective way. It offers a one stop route to design protection throughout the European Union. Any company whose business is not confined to one country may wish to make use of this Community right.
The Community Design Regulation provides for both an unregistered (not applied for) and a registered design right (applied for and registered) The unregistered Community design automatically protects a new and individual design for three years from the date it is first made public within the EU. However, a registered Community design provides longer, more solid and more comprehensive protection. It lasts initially for five years and can be renewed in five-year blocks up to a maximum of 25 years. In infringement cases, an unregistered Community design provides less solid protection because the holder must prove the validity and the existence of the design right, particularly in relation to the date and scope of its initial disclosure. Also, it must be proved that the design has actually been copied. The registered Community design right is exclusive, allowing its owner to prevent commercial use of a design if it produces the same overall impression this effectively covers similar designs that have been developed without direct reference to your own.
You can apply for a Community design at the EU Agency responsible for EU-wide trade mark and design registration the OHIM (Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market) or via a national industrial property office. The OHIM receives applications by mail and e-filing. The application must show the design and specify to which products it will be applied. To speed up the registration process, the OHIM recommends that applicants use its detailed product classification list (EUROLOCARNO) which is based on the international Locarno system, translated into the EU s 20 languages, and searchable on-line. The application may cover an unlimited number of different designs; however each design in a multiple application is treated as independent for invalidity, renewal and publication deferment purposes.
While it checks the application to see that it is complete and not contrary to public policy, the OHIM does not carry out a detailed examination of the design s novelty or individuality. You will need to carry out your own research to check the solidity of your application. The OHIM s on-line design search tool (RCD-online) can help in this respect. A design can be declared invalid following registration if the person challenging the registration can prove that it is not new, or not individual.
- Single legal system which applies to Community designs whether registered or unregistered, providing strong and uniform protection throughout the European Union (25 countries so far).
- The possibility to file multiple applications (i.e. to include several designs in one application, such as a whole range of similar products).
- The possibility to keep the design undisclosed for up to 30 months to avoid competitors finding out about it.
- An RCD confers on its holder the exclusive right to use it and prevent any third party not having the holder's consent from using it. Any unauthorised use of the design on any type of product may infringe the design. Enforcing an RCD is easier than separately enforcing national design rights. Infringement proceedings go before Community design courts, which are Member State courts that are designated to hear RCD cases. Their decisions apply throughout the EU so there is no need to go to separate courts in each Member State where infringement has taken place.
- Designers have 12 months to register after the first disclosure of the design.
The fee for a Community design is very reasonable: 350 for five years' protection.
In short, the RCD is an instrument designed to complement the single market. If your market, current or potential, is EU-wide then a pan-European design right makes sense.
What is the difference between the protection offered by a 3D mark and that offered by a design?
A registered Community design will protect your creation from the earliest stages, even before you begin to market your product, and must be new at the time of filing. A 3D Community trade mark will protect your design if it is a sign which distinguishes your goods from those of anyone in a similar business. It is therefore possible to have both forms of protection.
Registration as a 3D mark protects the distinctiveness of the sign compared to the other existing signs in use for the same products or services whereas registration as a design protects the novelty and the individual character of a product.
The concept of novelty does not apply to trade marks and the concept of distinctiveness does not apply to designs.
A trade mark has no time restrictions (it can be renewed indefinitely for periods of ten years), whereas a registered Community design has a maximum of 25 years' duration from the date of application for registration.
What is the difference between a patent and a design?
A patent covers the function, operation or construction of a new creation. To be patentable a function must be innovative, be capable of industrial application and be described in such a fashion that a person skilled in the field is capable of reproducing the process.
A design covers the appearance only of a product. A design cannot protect the function of a product. If you wish to protect a product with registration as both a patent and a design (since a new product can easily include both new functions and a new appearance), the timing of the applications will be crucial, as it must be ensured that the publishing of one or other of the rights does not destroy the novelty of the other application.
In conclusion, the design of a product adds to its value and increases its marketability. The appearance of the whole or part of a product may be protected, including the shape of the product and any pattern or ornamentation applied to it through different ways of protection (national rights applied for directly, international design applications, unregistered Community designs, registered Community designs and, where possible, 3D marks). The technical aspects of the creation may be protected by patents. So a single product may be protected by different industrial property rights which may be enforced when imitations or copies of that product appear. The Community design provides an exclusive right against the unauthorised copying or imitation of the design. The shape of a mobile phone or a doll s head, the pattern on wallpaper, the design of a board game, a picture of Harry Potter on a toy, a car wing mirror, an icon on a computer screen or the packaging of an Easter egg all enjoy protection as Community designs.
A complete guide on the way to apply for and register Community designs is the theme of the next issue of this series of training articles specially tailored for designers: THE RCD how to file, -step by step guide-, release on 01/07/2005.

It's Official: Maroon 5, Travis Scott, and Big Boi Are This Year's Super Bowl Halftime Act
By Christian Allaire
Maroon 5's Adam LevinePhoto: Getty Images
It's official, folks: This year's Super Bowl halftime act on February 3 in Atlanta is set to be Maroon 5, rapper Travis Scott, and Outkast's Big Boi. As reported by People, the news follows months of speculation, as Maroon 5 was first rumored to be the headlining act back in September. (Frontman Adam Levine posted a short promotional video clip on Twitter today with the hashtag #SBLIII, confirming it.)
This will be the group's first time performing for the halftime show, following Justin Timberlake last year and Lady Gaga in 2017. Unlike those performers, however, the band has had to face fans who've asked for this year's performers to boycott the event in support of Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who sparked the #TakeAKnee movement, kneeling or sitting during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality, for which he was effectively banned from the league. (Karpernick has since become something of a full-time activist, and featured in a notably popular Nike ad campaign last year, which was slammed by our President Donald Trump for having "a terrible message.") Rihanna, Cardi B, and Jay-Z have all reportedly refused to perform at the Super Bowl in light of the league's treatment of Kaepernick.
In an attempt to preempt the backlash, Scott has announced that he's partnered with the NFL to donate $500,000 to his charity of choice—a commitment he demanded from the sports league before signing on for the Super Bowl. "I back anyone who takes a stand for what they believe in. I know being an artist that it's in my power to inspire," Scott said in a statement. "So before confirming the Super Bowl Halftime performance, I made sure to partner with the NFL on this important donation. I am proud to support Dream Corps and the work they do that will hopefully inspire and promote change." Dream Corps is a social justice–minded organization that aims to "back initiatives that close prison doors and open doors of opportunity for all."

I honestly think you'll get "too many," and have to say no to some. Which will be difficult, but you yourself put out some fine stories, and I expect, as a reader, that the non-Xero stories out each week will reflect the same high standard of storytelling and writing.
As for sustained interest -- and this is completely my two cents as a reader and not as someone who has ever acted as editor -- those publications which continue to promote and stick themselves out there, in the public eye, do well. Don't let it languish, and it won't.
I was truthfully hoping that one of your anxieties is being eaten by a Gryphon that ripped the roof off the train on your way to work, but I can understand how that might be a secret anxiety you'd not wish to share.


This coming Monday, February 20th is a national day of action in support of prisoners organized by Occupy 4 Prisoners. Here in New York City, the Prisoner Solidarity Working Group, which originally formed as a subcommittee of the People of Color Working Group, is planning a march and action in Harlem at the Lincoln Correctional Facility. What follows is information from the Prisoner Solidarity Working Group.
For those outside of NYC, find an action in your area here.
The Prisoner Support Working Group of Occupy Wall Street answers Occupy Oakland's call to action and march in solidarity with the California Pelican Bay hunger strike, with brothers and sisters who are dispossessed by the criminal INJUSTICE system, and with political prisoners everywhere.
The Prison Industrial Complex = Capitalism on Steroids.
Mass incarceration is the new Jim Crow. Between 1970 and 1995, the incarceration of African Americans increased seven-fold. African Americans make up 12 % of the population in the U.S. and 53% of the nation's prison population. There are more African Americans enslaved under correctional control today—in prison or jail, on probation or parole—than there were in 1850.

From the diffuse clouded sunlight, which looks and feels the same in January as it does in June, to the broken glass glinting on the sidewalks, downtown Oakland is as usual. The city barely skips a beat anymore during and after the now-normal political riots that clog otherwise empty, wide downtown thoroughfares, drawing relatively little attention from non-political passers-by beyond perfunctory updates on Twitter decrying the lack of parking due to #oo or contemplating the sometimes nearly monolithic young whiteness of these latest exhilarated, raging masses.
Since the diverted building takeover on Saturday and the police riot, kettling and violent mass-arrest of marchers outside the YMCA, interest in denouncing and trying once again to co-opt and control the unruly Occupy has returned with a vengeance. Recently dormant factions of the Bay Area's Leftish communities and political intelligentsia, often genuinely well-intentioned, are issuing statements condemning so-called violence against buildings and other inanimate objects or taking issue with the insurrectionist strategy of facing off with police and antagonizing city officials. This unnamed Occupy strategy, coupled with the hyper-militarized state of Oakland's police force, culminated on Saturday with some 400 arrests and hundreds of thousands in city dollars spent to terrorize the populace of our fiscally gutted, deeply unequal and gentrifying city.
Not surprisingly, every faction involved is staying on-message.
The cops blame the protesters. The Mayor blames the "fringe" protesters who are out of touch with and beyond the control of the non-profits who claim to represent authentic communities. Within activist communities, pacifists blame the rioters. Non-profits blame outside agitators.
And though I agree with their overall analysis, many of the same Occupy-ers and insurrectionists who seem to value above all else militant confrontation with the police (as much as someone unarmed can actually "confront" a heavily armed force who have state-sanctioned powers to kill) now act shocked that cops don't follow the letter of the law, white kids can get arrested for walking down a street, and jail is not a good place.
Such "politicizing" experiences of spending a weekend in jail – celebrated in the manarchist culture of back-slapping camaraderie shared by those for whom jail is a rebellious and exotic adventure – only highlight some of the many ways that privilege and punishment land unequally on the differently raced, gendered and classed bodies who get swept up in mass arrests of the 99% movement.
Let's be clear: I can't think of any social movement that has overthrown dictators, ousted exploitative corporations, or catalyzed its populace to build alternatives to a corrupt system that hasn't engaged in one or more of the following militant tactics: building and land expropriations, illegality, and strategic confrontation against police forces.
I have been enthralled watching what is happening on Wall Street and has spread to other parts of the country and globe. I am fascinated because of the large numbers of people I see in the streets, and the amount of discontent. I appreciate the clarity that they are not disorganized but rather, since we are dealing with 99% of the population with a multitude of issues, you are going to see every different kind of protest and issue.
I also appreciate the critiques brought forth by my other indigenous brothers and sisters, both within and outside the US, highlighting the use of the word "occupy"; asking folks to recognize and acknowledge the colonial legacy and history in using settler language to frame what is hopefully a mass people's movement for liberation. The words of Audre Lorde echo for me here: "the master's tools will not dismantle the master's house". It's important to acknowledge that there are communities who have been living under occupation for over 500 years. And when we talk about occupation, why aren't we also talking about the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Puerto Rico, or Guam?
I love that people chose Wall Street to start these protests, and I love that we are talking about the accumulation of wealth by a small percentage of people and what it looks like for the rest of the people who do not share those resources or can access resources of that type. I also feel that we need to acknowledge the history and legacy of the mass accumulation of wealth within the United States to begin with, and therein lies the ability to talk about colonization and capitalism. The United States became one of the richest countries in the world because they slaughtered First Nations people for land and imported slaves for labor. It's really easy to build the wealth of a nation, when you have stolen land and imported labor that is completely exploitable.
Despair has come over me in the last few years. Normally this manifests itself as exhaustion and frustration. To understand it this time, though, you'd have to understand that the last few years haven't been so good to my family.
My dad lost his job a few years ago, and from there, we lost our house on Christmas of 2009. We had an emotional conversation about what it means to lose a home, the place where we played soccer in the hallways, and the windows, the ones we snuck into after staying out too late before mom could catch us. This loss of home and income, class, and most importantly to some, status, all led to some pretty serious depressive symptoms that have lasting impacts on a family. Some would de-politicize the moment and say 'life is about more than politics,' or some vague sentence about how this is 'real life not politics.' But that can't be further from the truth. These moments are the key reminder that capitalism exists in our daily lives and isn't just beyond the walls of our homes or in our theory texts. It's in our workplaces, our schools, and unfortunately, our social relationships. That is to say, capitalism has a way of not just stealing your labor as Marx taught us, but also stealing your spirit and meaning, and teaching us to treat each other in these ways as well; as my good friend and fellow anarchist Cindy Milstein reminds me.
This may s eem a bit too personal for some, but context is necessary to explain why the #occupywallstreet movement is so important, or, as Naomi Klein said from Liberty Plaza last night,"it's the most important thing in the world right now." You see, for a family of 6 with me as the only working member, we live in hopes of increased social spending. We live in fear of cuts to medicare and Medicaid, which our family utilizes. We are terrified of cuts to disability entitlements, to the rising cost of "public" colleges my siblings attend, and the never-ending nickel and diming of working class people. And personally, I'm terrified of the look of despair on my own mother's face and the tears that accompany her prayers as I continue to wish I could do more to help.


Supsubmit is a powerful application to submit your Web sites to directories, search engines or other Web sites. Supsubmit can fill up most forms using specific or generic keys. Supsubmit is fast: this software can fill up Web pages while other Web pages are loading. Supsubmit includes an interface to customize your context menu: it is possible to sort Web sites into different categories (and if you want, save filtered lists) but it is also possible to fill up forms using a specific context menu and usually you don't need to search in the Web page's source code to fill forms automatically. Customizable: you can create your own list of Web sites, you are not limited with the list that someone else created for you. It is very easy to add new Web sites, so you don't need to buy a software to submit to directories, a software to submit to "top lists", a software to submit to Web sites dedicated to a specific topic (like sharewares for example).

Q: python how do I determine screen size I need to resize an image.  The original is 1024x768.  My laptop screen is set to 1366x768.  When I go to view the image the bottom is always cut off.  I'm guessing it's because the image is 1024x768 but the image size doesn't take into account the box/window the image sits in, so the bottom of the image gets cuts off as a result.
What is the size, pixelwise, of the box/window and how do I determine the size of my screen, codewise, so I can reset the size of the image so the entire image will fit on the screen and none of it will get cut off.  Or is there a way of having the image autoscale so it will fit the screen height resolution?  I'm using PIL.
I know I can in the end just
new_image = old_image.resize(x, 768-box_height)

I just need to know the box height.

A: The most environment-agnostic way is likely to just ask tkinter:
import tkinter #python 3 syntax

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.withdraw()

width, height = root.winfo_screenwidth(), root.winfo_screenheight()

Great post. Very amusing. I guess this means we are watching humanity advance to the point of self destruction.

Das Weißenfelser Schloss Neu-Augustusburg in Sachsen-Anhalt war von 1680 bis 1746 Residenz der Herzöge von Sachsen-Weißenfels, einer Sekundogenitur der kursächsischen Wettiner.

Der gut erhaltene frühe Barockbau mit seiner bedeutenden Schlosskirche St. Trinitatis gilt als national wertvolles Kulturdenkmal.

Das Schloss beherbergt heute das Museum Weißenfels. Neben einer Ausstellung zum Schuhhandwerk, die auf das dort seit 1964 beheimatete Schuhmuseum der DDR zurückgeht, wird seit 2007 auch eine neugestaltete Ausstellung zum Herzogtum Sachsen-Weißenfels gezeigt.

Bau und Bedeutung

Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte am 25. Juli 1660 durch August, Erzbischof von Magdeburg, der dank des Testaments seines Vaters Johann Georg I. von Sachsen seit 1657 auch erster Herzog der sächsischen Sekundogenitur Sachsen-Weißenfels war und das Herzogtum von seiner bischöflichen Neuen Residenz in Halle aus verwaltete.

Das Schloss wurde in der alten Burganlage errichtet, die 1644 von den Schweden während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges geschleift worden war. Mit Ende des Krieges und dem damit verbundenen Westfälischen Frieden 1648 erwarb das Kurfürstentum Brandenburg allerdings den Anspruch auf das Herzogtum Magdeburg, den säkularisierten Besitz des Erzstifts Magdeburg. Der Übergang Magdeburgs an Brandenburg sollte jedoch erst erfolgen, wenn Herzog August als letzter Administrator des Erzbistums gestorben war. Es wird daher vermutet, dass Herzog August in diesem Wissen Neu-Augustusburg für seinen Sohn bauen ließ, der nach seinem Tod auf die Sekundogenitur Sachsen-Weißenfels beschränkt war.

Sohn Johann Adolf I. von Sachsen-Weißenfels bezog 1680 nach dem Ableben seines Vaters als neuer und erster Herzog das noch unfertige Schloss und vollendete es während der folgenden 14 Jahre. Die Baumeister waren Johann Moritz Richter und sein gleichnamiger Sohn. Beide schufen mit diesem Bau eine der größten frühbarocken Schlossanlagen in Mitteldeutschland.

Auf dem Schloss residierten bis zur Auflösung des Herzogtums im Jahre 1746:
 1680–1697 Johann Adolf I. von Sachsen-Weißenfels
 1697–1712 Johann Georg von Sachsen-Weißenfels
 1712–1736 Christian von Sachsen-Weißenfels
 1736–1746 Johann Adolf II. von Sachsen-Weißenfels

Das Schloss entwickelte sich zum kulturellen Zentrum, das bedeutende Künstler wie Johann Beer, Johann Philipp Krieger, Georg Philipp Telemann und Friederike Caroline Neuber anzog.

Hier entdeckte Herzog Johann Adolf I. von Sachsen-Weißenfels auch das musische Talent des jungen Georg Friedrich, als er seinen Leibarzt Georg Händel darum bat, dessen Sohn bei ihm in der Schlosskirche Orgel spielen zu lassen. Johann Sebastian Bach komponierte für Herzog Christian von Sachsen-Weißenfels die Kantate Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd BWV 208 (Jagdkantate), die 1713 zu Ehren des Herzogs in Weißenfels uraufgeführt wurde (heute Hotel Jägerhof). Seine Kantate Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen BWV 249a (Schäferkantate) erklang zum Geburtstag des Herzogs 1725 auf Schloss Neu-Augustusburg. Für die Orgel der Schlosskirche komponierte er seine Toccata und Fuge F-Dur BWV 540. Georg Philipp Telemann schuf für die 50. Wiederkehr des Kirchweihfestes der Schlosskirche im Jahr 1732 eine prächtige Festmusik mit dem Titel "Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt" (TVWV 1:951).

Nach dem Aussterben des Weißenfelser Herzogshauses 1746 ging das Schloss zunächst wieder an das Kurfürstentum Sachsen und wurde nur noch selten bewohnt. Ab 1815 gehörte es zu Preußen und wurde als Kaserne für ein Bataillon des 1. Thüringischen Infanterie-Regiments Nr. 31 zu Erfurt, umgebaut. Als solche wurde es bis 1920 vom Heer als Unteroffiziersschule, dann von der Polizei genutzt. Von März bis August 1933 diente das Schloss als "Gefangenensammellager" für politische Häftlinge. Nach 1945 fanden Flüchtlinge dort eine Unterkunft, anschließend wurden im Schloss eine Fachschule für Heimatmuseen sowie das Schuhmuseum der DDR eingerichtet. Im Jahr 1993 wurde es der Stadt Weißenfels zur Verwaltung übergeben. Seither wird das Gebäude in Abschnitten restauriert.

Heute befindet sich im Schlossgebäude das Museum Weißenfels. Neben einer Ausstellung zum Schuhhandwerk, die im Kern auf die Konzeption des dort seit 1964 beheimateten Schuhmuseums der DDR zurückgeht, wird seit 2007 auch eine neugestaltete Ausstellung zum Herzogtum Sachsen-Weißenfels gezeigt. Von der Schlossterrasse bietet sich ein weiter Blick über die Stadt Weißenfels. Der Schlosskeller und das Schlosscafé wurden bis 2017 als Veranstaltungsorte für Konzerte, Diskotheken, Comedy und Ähnliches genutzt. Das Schlosscafé wird nunmehr als Teil des Museums umgebaut, der Schlosskeller bleibt wegen zu hoher Sanierungskosten geschlossen.

Schlosskirche St. Trinitatis

Besonders sehenswert ist die weitgehend im Original erhaltene Schlosskirche St. Trinitatis. Von außen ist sie nicht als Kirche erkennbar, der Innenraum zählt zu den schönsten frühbarocken Sakralbauten Mitteleuropas.

Als Schlosskapelle ist der Raum vom Gegenüber von Altar und Fürstenloge auf der Empore her konzipiert. Die Ausmalung übernahm Johann Oswald Harms; die umlaufenden Emporenbilder zeigen typologisch entsprechende Szenen aus dem Neuen (1. Empore) und Alten Testament (2. Empore). Ein besonderes Schmuckelement sind die zahlreichen Emblemata. Der ursprüngliche Kanzelaltar von Johann Heinrich Böhme aus Schneeberg und Johann Balthasar Stockhammer (1678/80) wurde nach dem Übergang des Schlosses an das katholische Haus Sachsen 1751 auseinandergenommen; der Altar erhielt ein Relief der Verkündigung als Altarbild. Die Orgel stammt von Christian Förner.

Zu den bekannten Schlosspredigern zählten Johannes Olearius (1611–1684) und Erdmann Neumeister (1671–1756).

Die Kirche wird seit 1946 sonntäglich von der evangelisch-lutherischen St.-Trinitatis-Gemeinde der Selbständigen Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche genutzt, die nach dem Abschluss einer Nutzungsvereinbarung mit der Stadt 2004 im angrenzenden Nordostflügel des Schlosses auch Gemeinderäume und das Pastorat eingerichtet hat. Dort befindet sich auch die Superintendentur des Kirchenbezirks Sachsen-Thüringen.

Fürstengruft
In der Gruft unter dem Altarraum der Kirche befindet sich das Erbbegräbnis der Weißenfelser Herzogsfamilie, in welchem die fürstlichen Mitglieder der Familie in zum Teil sehr kunstvoll und prunkvoll gestalteten Särgen aus Holz bzw. Zinn-Legierungen bestattet wurden. Es stellt ein bedeutendes Denkmal barocker Bestattungskultur in Mitteldeutschland dar. Sie ist in der Regel einmal im Monat für Besucher zugänglich.

Orgel
Die Orgel auf der dritten Empore der Schlosskirche wurde 1667 bis 1673 vom Orgelbauer Christian Förner erbaut. Sie umfasste 22 Register auf zwei Manualen und Pedal und galt Zeitgenossen als ein technisches wie musikalisches Meisterwerk des mitteldeutschen Orgelbaus. An dieser Orgel wurde das musikalische Talent des Komponisten Georg Friedrich Händel durch den damaligen Herzog von Sachsen-Weißenfels entdeckt.

Nach jahrzehntelanger Vernachlässigung in der Zeit der Nutzung des Schlosses als Kaserne wurde die Orgel 1839 durch Johann Friedrich Schulze radikal umgebaut, 1864 nahm Friedrich Ladegast Reparaturen vor. Nach 1945 wurden Pfeifenwerk und Gehäuse schwer beschädigt; 1985 erfolgte ein als "Teilrekonstruktion" bezeichneter weitgehender Neubau durch die Orgelbaufirma A. Voigt.
Trotz der massiven Eingriffe gilt die Förner-Orgel als musikgeschichtliches Denkmal und "Schlüsselinstrument zum gesamten Orgelbau in Mitteldeutschland". Sie hat heute 32 Register auf zwei Manualen und Pedal.

Recollective studies have always allowed activities to be scheduled to avoid overwhelming participants. However, some researchers prefer to present multiple activities at the same time as it gives participants the flexibility to do those activities over time or all at once. To improve the user experience in such studies, we have added two new features to Recollective in November that remind and guide participants about their "Next Activity".
By "next activity" we mean the activity in the top-left position of the activity list as seen by a participant. Remember you can re-order the activities using Recollective's simple drag-and-drop interface at any time. Also be aware that if you've created segment-specific activities, this list can vary dynamically.
The simpler of the two features is a count of activities remaining "To Do". It appears directly on the Activities tab as a number inside a red circle only to participants, as shown below.
The second new feature is a green-coloured help tip that draws the participant's attention to the fact that more activities remain available to complete. Moreover, it provides a one-click option to start that next activity. If the help tip is distracting, it can be hidden by clicking the black "x" on the help tip. Once dismissed, the tip will be hidden until the next activity is completed or the participant logs in again.
This new help tip is also pretty smart. It won't show up on the participant's first visit to the study to ensure the Summary welcome message is read first. It's also sensitive to on-going journals. A journal activity will only be suggested if it's the next activity and the participant can make a new entry.
For example, if there is a daily journal and the entry has been made for today, the journal will no longer be suggested as the next activity even though it's technically "next". When the participant returns tomorrow, the daily journal is again suggested.
And finally, the help tip will not appear when starting any new activity as the participant has clearly decided which one they'll do next.
Note that the help tip does not interfere with the page below. If the participant is prompted to review other people's responses or join a discussion, they can still do so by scrolling down. The tip doesn't need to be dismissed to make use of the page (i.e. no extra clicking required).
Ramius is very proud of the high level of customer service we provide to our clients. For example, every Recollective site that is commissioned is given a comprehensive "Pre-Launch Check" by one of our Implementation Consultants.
Having done these site checks for almost a year now, we thought it would be a great idea to share some of the best tips and tricks we know and describe how to avoid making mistakes when configuring your Recollective site.
Each month we will try to post a couple of new tips. We hope you find them useful!
It is the default address all messages from the system appear to be sent from. Participants can be told to look out for emails from this address and save the address in their contacts to ensure messages aren't lost in spam or junk filters.
It is the address that will capture any bounceback notifications.
*Note: if this Sending Email Address is updated, we highly recommended you set up an SPF record to ensure notifications are delivered properly. Here are instructions for setting up an SPF record.
The Support Contact identifies who participants will email if they have difficulty logging in. If they cannot login they will typically click the Help button which launches their email client. They send an email to whichever address is listed here, so it is very important to update this field to ensure that any participants experiencing login difficulties are brought to your attention and given assistance.
Unchecking the Photo Attachments box (as displayed above) in task setup will disable the photo attachments box from appearing when participants are responding to a Text/Photo task. I always recommend disabling this box if participants have not been given instructions for quantity and image type. Ignoring this best practice doesn't hugely impact the study, however it may cause some confusion for participants and trigger support emails.
Our experience indicates that when instructions and next steps are clear, your participants have more time to focus on the study and less time to be distracted with avoidable questions.
During her presentation at the 2012 AMA Research and Strategy Summit, Nicole Gagnon (Senior Director of Market Research at Thomson Reuters) spoke of how they were empowering non-research staff to conduct in-house DIY research and utilize "one platform" for that would support a new customer-centric business model. She explained about a self-described "aha!" moment during the initial DIY observational study in which the research was carried out by internal staff of various business functions. They were trained and supported throughout the process but most importantly, took ownership of the data. As a consequence, they were able to trust and rely on their analysis to support business decisions.
While it had originally been an experiment, DIY seemed so promising that Nicole came up with a more sophisticated program. With a limited budget, they were able to extend DIY research across her whole division to help produce insights and gain a competitive edge.
One of their most successful applications of the DIY research program at Thomson Reuters is with customer service issues. Under the program, Marketing staff can continuously conduct standardized customer satisfaction interviews and surveys to better understand the customer experience. Standardized questions allows for the collection and normalization of data for analysis on a large scale, examination of trends and for future compatibility and use.
DIY research also supports customer retention efforts by segmenting dissatisfied customers through customer service surveys. If the customer is unhappy, the interviewer will ask if they would like to have a representative follow-up. If so, the request is tracked in the division's CRM system which triggers an appropriate staff member to contact the customer. That simple but vital extra step not only captures business insights but can perhaps save a hard-won customer.
Something we know for sure at Ramius is that when pushing out any software for use throughout an organization, it requires a mixture of internal support and intuitive features to be a success. So while there's a legitimate fear that DIY research will provide questionable insights due to a lack of formal research training and experience, at Thomson Reuters employees were not left to their own devices. To support this research process and to manage bias risks, Nicole's research team (comprising of only four individuals) mentor, support and train the non-researchers on data collection and analysis.
We think that is critical. Nicole's division found it especially helpful to have role-based rights that had been built into the research platform they used to support an approved research workflow. Studies would never go live until they were vetted by her research team. With a strong research foundation in place, the research technology was then integrated to their CRM system that enabled her division to "close the loop" and share useful insights with the appropriate employees and on an ongoing basis.
So why were we so excited to hear the Thomson Reuters case study at the AMA RSS conference? We think it summarizes very neatly the business value of DIY research. For Nicole's division, this new system has enabled them to do more, faster and with less. The volume of internal research is up by 400% and they are now doing over 40 annual customer feedback projects involving internal data collection. These projects range from studies that inform product development, win/loss situations and brand or customer service issues. The data and insights collected do not get archived once the project is complete, instead the data and insights become a strategic resource, accessible by anyone in the company and used to make better decisions.
Ultimately, we believe that competitive advantage is gained by the businesses that are best able to quickly respond to customer needs for improved products and services as well as richer experiences. DIY research done on online software (like Recollective) is a very promising approach to get there.
