Twitter C/D
Didn't see a thread. So, micro-bloging, then.

what's the point when you have FB status updates?

I'm an addict.
― Allen, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
The status updates on facebook are one of my favourite aspects of FB, so I liked the idea of twitter when I first heard about it a week or so ago. I've signed up, but it hasn't stuck with me as yet, I think because none of my friends are using it.

Twitter is for productivity douche-bags and aspirational web developers.
― fields of salmon, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I used to use Twitter quite a lot, but Facebook status updates reach a lot more of my friends, and I can do them from my phone as easily as a Twitter so I've kind of abandoned it.
I think Twitter is good for publishing interesting links and news and things, and for asking advice from the microblogosphere, but for the latter you'd need a whole load of like-minded followers and it's hard to get there.

CIO/KIU: using ilx like twitter
I just spent another fifteen minutes going down the rabbit hole with this shit clicking on follower avatars
http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2008/20080423.jpg
the text of the last panel could possibly be sold as a t-shirt
the weather alert stuff and airport delay announcement feeds seem vaguely useful but it remains the absolute dumbest shit I've ever seen since friendster
I mean what use is something that's supposed to provide low-bandwidth status updates on EVERY STUPID PIDDLING THING EVER IN THE WORLD if it also happens to be breaking constantly
identi.ca is ugly and has a terrible name, as with squoink and jaiku and whatever else, which just goes to show you what actually matters

I use Twitter to keep up with a very small handful of friends (FreakyTrigger mob mostly) so mine is mostly a collection of stupid injokes that come to my mobile. I like that a lot, saves me having to text loads of people at once, but it freaks me out when I see random strangers following me. I have to purge my followers list about once a week.

this is a shame, because your minute-by-minute update from "control" was fucking genius. for the few minutes it lasted.
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 31 July 2008 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
you'd need a whole load of like-minded followers and it's hard to get there.
This is the key, really. Twitter got some ferocious use at wwdc, and was v. good for finding out what was giong on where, and what sessions to leave, etc, but it doesn't work so well if you've just trucked up in some random place.
There's a twitter client for iPhone that might help with that though -- it shows you all the updates from folks in your location.

the end of twitter in the UK? er: yes, as far as i can see. i don't want to have to *look* for tweets. i want them to come to me:
I'm sending you this note because you registered a mobile device
to work with Twitter over our UK number. I wanted to let you
know that we are making some changes to the way SMS works on
Twitter. There is some good news and some bad news.
I'll start with the bad news. Beginning today, Twitter is no
longer delivering outbound SMS over our UK number. If you enjoy
receiving updates from Twitter via +44 762 480 1423, we are
recommending that you explore some suggested alternatives.
Note: You will still be able to UPDATE over our UK number.
Before I go into more detail, here's a bit of good news: Twitter
will be introducing several new, local SMS numbers in countries
throughout Europe in the coming weeks and months. These new
numbers will make Twittering more accessible for you if you've
been using SMS to send long-distance updates from outside the UK.
Why are we making these changes?
Mobile operators in most of the world charge users to send
updates. When you send one message to Twitter and we send it to
ten followers, you aren't charged ten times--that's because we've
been footing the bill. When we launched our free SMS service to
the world, we set the clock ticking. As the service grew in
popularity, so too would the price.
Our challenge during this window of time was to establish
relationships with mobile operators around the world such that
our SMS services could become sustainable from a cost perspective.
We achieved this goal in Canada, India, and the United States.
We can provide full incoming and outgoing SMS service without
passing along operator fees in these countries.
We took a risk hoping to bring more nations onboard and more
mobile operators around to our way of thinking but we've arrived
at a point where the responsible thing to do is slow our costs
and take a different approach. Since you probably don't live in
Canada, India, or the US, we recommend receiving your Twitter
updates via one of the following methods.
m.twitter.com works on browser-enabled phones
m.slandr.net works on browser-enabled phones
TwitterMail.com works on email-enabled phones
Cellity [http://bit.ly/12bw4R] works on java-enabled phones
TwitterBerry [http://bit.ly/MFAfJ] works on BlackBerry phones
Twitterific [http://bit.ly/1WxjwQ] works on iPhones
Twitter SMS by The Numbers
It pains us to take this measure. However, we need to avoid
placing undue burden on our company and our service. Even with a
limit of 250 messages received per week, it could cost Twitter
about $1,000 per user, per year to send SMS outside of Canada,
India, or the US. It makes more sense for us to establish fair
billing arrangements with mobile operators than it does to pass
these high fees on to our users.
Twitter will continue to negotiate with mobile operators in
Europe, Asia, China, and The Americas to forge relationships
that benefit all our users. Our goal is to provide full, two-way
service with Twitter via SMS to every nation in a way that is
sustainable from a cost perspective. Talks with mobile companies
around the world continue. In the meantime, more local numbers
for updating via SMS are on the way. We'll keep you posted.
Thank you for your attention,
Biz Stone, Co-founder

I never understood why anyone would want tweets pushed to them. I get excited when I receive a text. I don't want to find it's some spazz like me telling the world they've found an odd-coloured bogey up their nose.
― Alba, Thursday, 14 August 2008 09:21 (thirteen years ago) link
it would be nice, when the iphone's push service is switched on, if twitter would push messages down to twitterific - this would solve the 'excited when I receive a text only to find it's about a bogey' problem
― cozwn, Thursday, 14 August 2008 09:31 (thirteen years ago) link
If my phone had let me assign unique message alert tones to numbers like it does with ringtones and voice calls then the problem might have gone away.
Maybe the fundamental problem is that I'm not interested enough in other people.
most of twitter is exquisitely described in metaphor by that news story about the inflatable turd named "Complex Shit" blowing away and breaking actual stuff that matters
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 14 August 2008 09:39 (thirteen years ago) link
of course being me I would say the same for pretty much everything "web 2.0"
actually, i'd follow a tombot twitter feed. furious cynicism at unexpected moments could be fun.
i guess twitterific might step up to the plate here, but then again: it can't run in the background on the iPhone, can it?

Used it cause I was excited (are you still an early adopter a full year after the SXSW explosion of use?), then didn't for a few months cause I didn't really see the point, now I'm usin it again cause I've had some new local friends start following me.
Good for questions, link-sharing, Microemo bursts, etc.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 14 August 2008 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link
I have a friend who uses this to read his friends' feeds, so I basically only see it from the angle of a person who is constantly checking his phone while I'm trying to have a conversation with him. The first time I heard of Twitter was from him when I finally got exasperated with his constantly checking his phone.
Maybe I'm the one with the problem, but I can't really think of anyone in the world interesting enough for me to want updates on their activities throughout the day. I'd say the only people I could imagine wanting to twitter could be: Drug smuggler, violent prison inmate, Slash-in-his-heyday type rock star, and a dog (if they somehow managed to translate its thoughts into English text).

i very very rarely check it on my phone. does mobile use seem to be the prominent use?
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
SMS functionality seems to be its USP now that Facebook status updates have taken the mainstream microblogging space.
As I said above, people using it for pushed news bulletins and question-broadcasting rather than personal what-i'm-doing stuff is another application.
(I think you can now do Facebook by SMS in America, actually, but not here)

i think i just got very lucky tbh. got a letter in the 2nd spot that could only be preceded by relatively few other letters. it's sort of the same strategy as wheel of fortune (except you don't get R S T L N E given to you)
I read an article where someone said they always use ORATE for their first guess because it has three vowels and two common consonants.
― jaymc, Saturday, 8 January 2022 17:09 (one week ago) link
i used 'shard' to find the common consonants, suppose 'share' will be a better starting point
i find wordle a bit too easy (ive still never lost after a couple months of playing daily) so instead of optimizing my opening word i just pick the first 5-letter word that pops into my head
― flopson, Saturday, 8 January 2022 18:58 (one week ago) link
the challenge of wordle isn't so much about whether you will lose but how long you will stay stumped. sometimes i just can't think of a word with those letters for a long time. that's the good stuff

Not quite. Rowling's real importance lies in the fact that she was the first writer to present a world in which class and wealth mattered, some characters were poor, some were rich, and being poor was a hardship, not just a cheery sentimental thing in the scenery.

When you think of NYC you think of a lively and dynamic city but have you noticed an overwhelming amount of "For Rent" signs and empty storefronts in Manhattan lately? Well, we have too. Interested in finding out what was behind this trend we set out to speak to local business owners to understand what was happening.
The Tiny Apple takes a look at the disappearing face of New York's small businesses by profiling them and the people who run them. Through their personal anecdotes and experiences these small business owners provide a unique and rare look at the cultural and socioeconomic shift NYC has been undergoing.
This documentary series is currently in production and set to be released in Spring 2020.

We are so excited to introduce a new Creative Team Member today! I love her clean way of tackle Mixed Media. Layers, colors in a great combo but in a clean, and for me unusual way!
I am Nupur Patel, 24yrs old from Mumbai, India. I have been scrapbooking since past 4years because it is my hobby. I was introduced to visual arts in my school years at Ecole Mondiale world School. As a visual artist here you will find me playing with various color palettes, medias and elements, these explorations opened new doors and led to a new world of Mixed media.
After having learned and explored the handworks it was high time that I stepped into the Digital World to enhance my creativity, thus, leading to Graduating at Raffles Design International and later from Griffith University, Australia.
Traveling, capturing and trapping memories are my source of inspiration to enter the world of scrapbooking. Scrapbooking is a large world in itself, there is a lot more learn, to explore and to meet new people, reach new horizons and much more.
We are sadly saying good bye to Sylvia & Kim this month. We will miss having you around!
Simply love your work Nupur! Congratulations !!

Q: Getting Date and/or checking for it in JSON Object? I have a JSON object that can (is) storing a Date (and/or any other JS object) but I'm not sure how to get it out once it's in it. For example I have this sample code, but it's not working:
for(var key in value){
    if(value.hasOwnProperty(key)){
        if(typeof value[key] == 'object'){
            if(value[key].Date){
                console.log('this is a date')
            }
            else{
                console.log('not a date');
            }
        }
    }
}

However, it just keeps return not a date. If i inspect the JSON object with Firebug or the Developer Console in WebKit i see __proto__: Date inside of the corresponding JSON item... so, how do I get it out or check for it?
--EDIT--
Here is what i see in the debugger:
Object
->isADate: Fri Nov 26 2010 20:30:57 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)
--->__proto__: Date
->notADate: "some string"
--->__proto__: Object

And here is the JSON im creating:
var dateStorage = new storageLocker('date-test');
dateStorage.save({'isADate':new Date(),'notADate':'some string'});

Here is the code for this part of my script (http://github.com/oscargodson/storagelocker)
storageLocker.prototype.save = function(value){
var json = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(this.catalog));
if(json == null){json = {};}
for(var key in value){
    if(value.hasOwnProperty(key)){
        json[key] = value[key];
        console.log(value[key].Date);
        if(typeof value[key] == 'object'){
            if(value[key].Date){
                console.log('this is a date')
            }
            else{
                console.log('not a date');
            }
        }
    }
}
localStorage.setItem(this.catalog,JSON.stringify(json));
return this;
}

Thanks a lot! Hope this helps out more!

A: You want to look at this: How to know if an object is a date or not with JavaScript
Basically the "safest" - not 100% failsafe but you should be fine - is to do feature detection.
However, make sure that your JSON entry is really a date object and not a string, in which case this won't work and you'll need to use the new Date() or Date.parse() to make it a date object.
EDIT: Following your 2 comments:
JSON does not allow you to store objects in a Date format. So, there's already a discrepancy here. Either you're not really dealing with JSON objects, or you're not dealing with them the way they should be.
See this page for the official documentation on using JSON in JavaScript for information on how to use the reviver parameter of JSON.parse, because a date should be stored as a string and then "revived" to a Date object.
Also, that typeof returns object doesn't necessarily mean that you don't deal with a string, for instance:
typeof new String("test") // object

Now assuming you really do have a Date object at this point, I don't see how testing for value[key].Date would work anyway. Try it out in your debug console, as you have FireBug:
var t = new Date();
alert(t.Date)                           // undefined
alert(t.getMonth)                       // code of the function, so not undefined
alert(typeof t.getMonth != 'undefined') // true

So using a combination of tests for getMonth, getDay and others would do the trick.

A: If, like me, you got here looking for a way to discover what date/time a JSon date value equals, you can do this as follows (using wscript - the Windows script host):

*

*save the following text to a file called test.js (replace 1396566000000 with your own date value)
var date = new Date(1396566000000);
WScript.Echo(date);

*from a command prompt, run:
wscript test.js

North London Skydiving Centre is ideally positioned just outside the controlled airspace zones for London Stansted, Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick – meaning we can genuinely get the altitudes we advertise (weather permitting) without any air-traffic control restrictions. Drive time from the M25 London orbital motorway, or from the Eastern side of Birmingham, is about 90 minutes. If travelling by train head for March railway station. The airfield is then a short taxi ride (about 10 minutes) from the station.
Most navigation systems will direct you to the wrong entrance!
From the A1(M) at Huntingdon take the A141 towards March.
Continue on this road past Chatteris until you come to a right hand turning (opposite Wimblington church) sign posted for Downham Market (B1093).
Take this turning and then first right again after about 500 yards.
Continue along this minor road for about 2 miles and the airfield can be found on the right hand side.

Its quick operation (0.07 s) and reliability demonstrated its usefulness in neutron activation experiments connected with a 300 kV and 300 μA D beam of a neutron generator. Stack filters are nonlinear filters used for image processing (examples: median filters, order statistics). In the translation-invariant case a stack filter is determined by a positive Boolean function b. Many important properties of stack filters (idempotency, co-idempotency, order relations) can be tested in polynomial time if the DNF and/or CNF of b are known. It was speculated that the increase of the UDP-GlcNAc pool observed with chloramphenicol can modulate the residual PEP : UDP-GlcNAC-enolpyruvate activity of fosfomycin-treated cells. This provided an explanation on how chloramphenicol can insure the formation of enough UDP-Mur-NAc-pentapeptide to sustain peptidoglycan synthesis at a rate that will antogonize fosfomycin-induced lysis.

Harryette Mullen Receives Jackson Poetry Prize
New York, NY -- Poets & Writers, Inc. is pleased to announce that Harryette Mullen is the recipient of the fourth annual Jackson Poetry Prize. The $50,000 prize honors an American poet of exceptional talent who deserves wider recognition. The award is designed to provide what all poets need -- time and the encouragement to write.
Ms. Mullen was selected by three esteemed judges: the poets Fanny Howe, Ted Kooser, and C. K. Williams. There was no application process. Poets were nominated by a panel of their peers who will remain anonymous.
The judges described Ms. Mullen's poems as "brilliant and enigmatic, familiar and subversive. Like jewels, her poems are multifaceted and shoot off lights. Mullen uses the techniques of sound association, innuendo, and signifying, and this way makes the reader alert to the cunning of the English language."
Mullen's books include Recyclopedia (Graywolf, 2006), Blues Baby: Early Poems (Bucknell University Press, 2002), Muse & Drudge (Signing Horse Press, 1995), S*PeRM**K*T (Singing Horse Press, 1992), and Trimmings (Tender Button Books, 1991). Her book Sleeping with the Dictionary (University of California Press, 2002) was a finalist for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award in poetry. She teaches African-American literature, American poetry, and creative writing at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has earned degrees in English and in literature from the University of Texas, Austin, and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The previous recipients of the Jackson Poetry Prize are Linda Gregg (2009), Tony Hoagland (2008), and Elizabeth Alexander (2007).
The Jackson Poetry Prize, which is sponsored by Poets & Writers, Inc., was made possible by a significant donation from the Liana Foundation and named for the John and Susan Jackson family.

"You can join the conversation if you'd like," the French woman told me as we walked the streets of Toulouse, France. I'd been silent for awhile, smiling and nodding and hoping for my dear life that no one would ask me a question in French. I felt defeated and discouraged. I hated speaking in French because it seemed that every time I would embarrass myself or misunderstand. I would've rather not spoken at all than to put myself out there.
I've never been described as quiet. I scored the lead role in my sixth grade musical. I won my school's spelling bee in seventh grade in front of an audience numbering over 100. (As you can see, I peaked in middle school…) Let's just say that I loved the spotlight even from a young age. I'm a girl with a lot to say, and I will say it—and I can spell it!
Fast forward to this warm evening in the south of France where I proceed to tell this French woman that I never want to speak French again. I felt so ashamed of my accent and mistakes. The anxiety I got when I ordered coffee was unlike anything I'd felt, and the shame from getting anxious over a dang cup of joe crept in closely behind.
The bottom line is confidence is relative. Even if you haven't had a cross-cultural experience, this idea is relatable. You may start your day confident whether that comes from being productive or spending time with gal pals. But the moment you see your crush? The confidence plummets as you begin to sweat and forget how to say those things called words. The moment you stumble over your words in a speech? Blood rushes to your face as you wish with all your heart that you were somewhere else.
We choose to be confident even in our weakness.
I have an American accent, and I'm not ashamed. I was at first, but I learned to embrace it for several reasons. On a practical note, it's impossible to learn French without practicing—duh! And while I'm aiming to sound like a native, I'm still learning. Our weakness also humbles us and makes us more relatable. As I stood in line at Starbucks, I ordered in French as always and even asked several vocabulary questions. A woman behind me in line heard my accent, struck up a conversation and invited me to sit with her for awhile. Weakness isn't necessarily bad; it's human. And it's a great conversation starter.
We choose to accept the process.
The process isn't always fun; truth be told, it's usually isn't. But in the process, we learn humility. And the rough path makes us appreciate the end result; it makes us more empathetic and understanding. A hard journey doesn't discount its purpose; it often defines and refines.
By the end of the summer, I'd mastered a proficiency in French and enjoyed speaking this gorgeous language. Back in America, I realize how much I miss it and try to use it anywhere I can. I recently met a Lebanese friend with whom I speak and text in French most of the time. I continue to communicate in French with the friends I made in France.
Confidence doesn't depend on your circumstances, and that should be a comfort. Take a deep breath. Smell the roses. And most importantly, chin up.
Challenge: Do something on your own this week.
I'm currently studying french and i love it so so much but having to go out there in a few months and speak french to real LIFE french people is sosososososo scary. Reading this made me so much more confident that everyone struggles with new things and i am LEARNING. I just thought i'd let you know this post really really helped me and thank you so much!
Bonjour Milly ! I'm so happy to hear that you were encouraged 🙂 It will be hard, but it's truly the best (and most rewarding) way to learn! I found the French to be very helpful when it came to language learning. Bon voyage !

In order to have a great smoking session, it is necessary to do everything right; from the packing and coal lighting to the covering and hookah setup. Let us start with the basics on how to pack your bowl to perfection. Take into consideration that there are three different categories of bowls, though all will be packed similarly. The first step is prepping your shisha tobacco by getting 10-15 grams of it from the package. In a small bowl, plate, or napkin, start breaking the shisha apart gently and remove large stems.
Afterwards, gently place the shisha into the hookah bowl without packing it down tightly (this allows for proper airflow). You should fill the bowl slightly below the top rim. Take a damp paper towel and press down any shisha that may be poking out. There should be approximately 1/8 of an inch of space left between the shisha and the rim of the bowl.
Following the packing, you will need Hookah foil to cover the top of the bowl tightly. It is important to make the foil taught on the top. Once the foil is tightened, you are now ready to poke 50-100 small holes. Use a sewing needle, thumbtack, or a special Hookah Foil Poker for this job. You can start at the outside edge of the bowl and work your way in with a circular pattern unfolding. Once this is done, you have successfully packed your hookah bowl to perfection.

Intralot estimates 2020 EBITDA to fall by up to €28m as result of pandemic
In its business update Intralot has estimated the impact of the coronavirus pandemic will reduce group EBITDA by between €25m ($29.8m) and €28m.
The Greek lottery and gaming solutions provider said the EBITDA reduction remains its best estimate, after first announcing a fall in the range of €25m to €30m in April.
Intralot said it will utilise all government support available to it including furlough schemes, and that the group has taken measures to contain operating expenses across its multiple jurisdictions.
The company is also in discussions with its clients to defer up to €12m of planned investments, as a result of turning its focus to improving liquidity.
The supplier touched upon the measures it has implemented to make sure it's COVID secure, including around 70% of its employees continuing to work from home in Greece even after the first lockdown restrictions were lifted.
The pandemic has led to a tough year for Intralot. Earlier this month, Sokratis Kokkalis took over as group CEO, replacing Christos Dimitriadis, who will focus on the company's US operations. Dimitriadis initially replaced Kokkalis as CEO this past March.
While in September, Intralot reported a 56% year-on-year decline in H1 revenue down to €168.2m, and a 64% decrease in Q2 revenue, which fell to €66.3m.

"Night Vision: Nocturnes in American Art, 1860–1960," an extensive exhibition at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art in Brunswick, Me. (June 27–October 18), is the first major survey of American night scenes. Curated by Joachim Homann, the show begins with moonlight and gas lighting, documents the electrification of city life and the impact of migration and photography, and ends in the 1950s, with abstraction and the beginning of the Space Age. At every stage, social and technical changes created new forms of nocturnal perception, and as the exhibition shows, those perceptions made night scenes central to American modernism.
The bookends of the exhibition are works by Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth. Both depict a boat at night, and both explore the workings of light and water, but their moods are totally different. Homer's Fountains at Night was a response to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, where Homer had exhibited his seascapes. The "White City" was the first large-scale public space to be electrified at night. Homer was impressed not just by the Fair's architectural grandeur and mock-Venetian waterways complete with gondolas but also by the lonely splendor of its waters at night. In this painting, gondoliers propel two passengers on a private tour of the Grand Basin, the giant central pool. As they pass the floodlit Columbian Fountain, with its statues of rearing, fish-tailed horses and a Classical rider, we see an early reflection of electric lighting upon water. The churning waters are incandescent white, the gondoliers strain at their oars. The night is becoming modern, the United States rising on waves of power.
Wyeth's Night Hauling, an early tempera work from 1944, is haunted and anxious. A solitary fisherman has rowed out to sea and is drawing up lobster traps to steal other men's catches. There are no stars and no moon; the sky is a black ground. The only illuminations are the flecked lights of the shore, a weak lantern in the boat, and the phosphorescent algae in the water. As the thief lifts a trap, he turns to check that he is unseen. A torrent of translucent water pours back into a glowing maelstrom of the sea. The light source is inverted—the algae in the water glisten like starlight. The night becomes a private, interior experience. There is something Promethean about this theft: is he after the lobsters, or a divine fire? Wyeth's father was the popular illustrator N.C. Wyeth. In Night Hauling, the theft of food suggests the theft of knowledge.
Night thoughts can be dark thoughts. Art is a lonely profession, and the modern artist is often marginal to society. But as secrecy and solitude reverse the polarities of everyday life and social convention, they liberate individual expression. Several of the key pieces in "Night Vision" are by women artists—Georgia O'Keeffe, Marguerite Zorach, Lee Krasner, and Berenice Abbott. The African American painter Beauford Delaney turns the cityscape into a bare dreamscape in Untitled (1944); devoid of people, the forms of the buildings are the skeleton of civilization. In Delaney's Jazz Club (1950), we see liberated energy, the temporary kinship of nightlife, and universality in shared human experience.
Not all the humans in the modern city know that they are sharing in the experience. The voyeurs of the Ashcan School make a virtue of their dislocation into the shadows. John Sloan's "night vigils" describe the stolen intimacies of the dreaming voyeur. In The Cot (1907), a woman disrobes next to a messy bed, its sheets a creamy grey and white. Those same tones recur on the dresses of women entering a theater in The Haymarket, Sixth Avenue (1907). The artist is a stranger, passing unseen and experiencing his own strangeness. Lyonel Feininger returned to New York in 1937, having been away for 50 years. The city had changed, but a few surviving elements reminded him of his childhood. In City Moon (1945), Feininger rediscovers his origins as he discovers the new topography of the city.
Electricity changed the night and how it was perceived. But the first nocturnes predate electrification. The original School of Night was a group of atheistic scholars and scientists in Elizabethan London; they included Christopher Marlowe, Walter Raleigh, and Thomas Harriot. Artists, notably Caravaggio and Rembrandt, depicted night scenes, too, but the interior moods of the modern nocturne are a Romantic legacy, with roots in the brooding Gothic. Chopin created his first "nocturne" in 1827. Whistler, who emphasized the affinities between music and painting by calling pieces "arrangements" and "harmonies," created his first nocturne in 1866.
The artist's nocturne was born in the age of gas lighting, the smeary, blurred light sources of Whistler. But it grew in the age of electrification, when the night was carved by hard whites and yellows. Yet Whistler's shadow falls on these later nocturnes, sometimes as an inspiration, sometimes as a challenge. In the early 20th century, Whistler's aestheticism seemed antithetical to art that was socially or politically engaged: Raphael Soyer's Bowery Nocturne (1933) drags the nocturne into Depression politics. On the other hand, in 1944, when Alfred H. Barr organized a joint retrospective of Feininger and his friend Marsden Hartley at MoMA, he praised Feininger as a "modern-day Whistler." Feininger and Whistler had both lived abroad, and they shared an affinity for the nocturne.
That 1944 show, staged in the year of Wyeth's Night Hauling, also evoked another founder of American modernism, Albert Pinkham Ryder, the other titan of the 19th-century nocturne. For Marsden Hartley, Ryder had made possible a uniquely American nocturne. "Night Vision" traces this lineage forward into the 1950s and abstraction. Louise Nevelson's boxlike Untitled is all black shadows. But Nevelson also collected the figurative work of Louis Michel Eilshemius, whose work is in the Colby show and who was a peer of Ryder and Ralph Albert Blakelock. The nocturnal theme runs across styles and schools, and 19th-century sensibilities are woven into 20th-century expressions.
The unnatural, abstracted light of electrification also spurred artists to turn away, in search of the softer tones and indeterminate states of the authentic night. In Scare in a Pack Train (1908) and Moonlight, Wolf (circa 1909), Frederic Remington looks outside the city and toward the frontiers of society and vision. In the Orientalist narrative Nicodemus Visiting Jesus (1899), Henry Ossawa Tanner seeks the Biblical night of the Holy City. In 1897, four years after Winslow Homer explores an electrified night at Chicago, John Leslie Breck paints Santa Maria della Salute by Moonlight. Balsassare Longhena's masterpiece floats in the Venetian blue like a ghost ship, timeless and lonely.
In 1843, when gas lamps were lit in the Piazza San Marco, Ruskin complained that Venice now resembled industrial Birmingham; he did not witness the electrification of Venice's street lighting. Today, those gas lamps seem themselves to be "historical," essential to the atmosphere of Whistler's Venetian nocturnes or Henry James' novels. Famously, Ruskin disapproved of Whistler; ironically, his disapproval stimulated Whistler's creation of the modern nocturne. In 1879, bankrupted by his Pyrrhic victory over Ruskin in the law courts (a libel suit provoked by a harsh review), Whistler accepted a commission to draw 12 etchings in Venice. Traditionally, a night scene uses a limited light source and experiments with its effects; the sublime catastrophe of Albert Bierstadt's The Burning Ship (1869) is lit by what the Old Masters called "moonlight." But Whistler embraced the nocturnal and explored the dark.
Whistler's modern shift was a Romantic move: Romanticism prizes individual perceptions and dark interiority over shared illumination and the light of reason. In an essay in "Night Vision"'s excellent catalogue, Daniel Bosch addresses Eliot and Baudelaire and the relationship of Symbolist poetry to the nocturne. Yet the exhibition focuses more on the technical challenges of art than on intellectual inspirations and Prufrockian precedents. The night demands technical creativity. The Romantic experience of Nature includes visual experience, and this can only be translated onto canvas and paper through a unique vocabulary.
"We're creating a dialogue between different interpretations of the night," explains Joachim Homann, the show's curator. In "Night Vision," that dialogue between Romantic individuality and technical innovation is embodied in the work of Georgia O'Keeffe. Her Black Abstraction (1927) is a rendering of a near-death experience she had while under anesthetic on a hospital trolley. "She felt that the world was receding from her," Homann says, "which is perhaps the ultimate Romantic experience." A year later, in 1928, O'Keeffe painted New York Night. "She was living with Alfred Stieglitz in an apartment in the Shelton Hotel, and when she looked up Lexington Avenue, she could see all the city lights around her." Together, these two works, painted at almost the same time, express the nocturnal dialogue between individual perception and technical experiment.
Photography captures light in a different way and in a different quantity. The camera's vision created a new kind of nocturne. The most remarkable photographs in "Night Vision" are rarely exhibited as art. Seneca Ray Stoddard's The Antlers, Open Camp, Raquette Lake (circa 1889) is one of the first campfire photographs, as well as one of the first photographs to be taken with a flashlight. A group of hunters sits by a fire in an Adirondacks wood. This is an ancient scene—the hunters and the dogs, the deer strung up by firelight. Spontaneous and crude, it contrasts superbly with the Pictorialist effects and electrified city in the images of Stieglitz and Edward Steichen.
Stieglitz applied Whistler's aesthetic, the capture of night in the city, to photography. Like his friend Steichen, Stieglitz creates a beautiful confusion of painterly and photographic effects. Steichen worked in both photography and paint, and "Night Visions" juxtaposes his works in both media. In the oil painting Shrouded Figure in Moonlight (1905), Steichen explores the most traditional of nocturnal lights. In The Flatiron (1904), the ocean liner-like form of a quintessential urban figure is misted in fog. Instead of finding its reflection in a pond, like the trees in the photograph Moonlight: The Pond (1906), the Flatiron Building is reflected in a thin puddle of rainwater. A cabbie and his horses float across the surface of the water, kin to the waiting hackney carriages in Stieglitz's rainy Reflections–Night (1897) and modern heirs to the Classical wrangler and symbolic equines of Homer's Fountains at Night.
This dialogue between photography and painting continues in the encounter between O'Keeffe's New York Night and Abbott's Night View, a bird's-eye photograph of Midtown Manhattan in the '30s. Cleverly, Night Vision ends without closing the conversation; deliberately disrupting the artificial divisions of genre and generation, the show pursues its theme into the present. In 1943, Steichen selected Ansel Adams' epic Moonrise: Hernandez, New Mexico for publication in U.S. Camera magazine. Adams' photograph concludes the exhibition, but an adjoining gallery presents a recent film by Michel Auder.
"Auder positioned a video camera in an apartment building in New York and captured what was happening in the apartments around him," Homann says. "It's a really poetic, richly textured view of the urban night." Auder exhibited his film, Untitled (I Was Looking Back to See if You Were Looking Back At Me to See Me Looking Back At You), at the Whitney Museum's 2014 Biennial. In its voyeurism, Auder's film echoes the work of John Sloan, Edward Hopper, and their contemporaries. It also recapitulates the themes of this intricate and articulate exhibition—modernity and the changing experience of darkness, the role of art as a medium of personal expression, and the technical challenges of expression. These are present themes, and with night vision becoming an increasingly rare commodity, they are also part of the future of the night.
"We hear about preserving the night sky over the National Parks, or about switching off electronic devices at night to create a rhythm to our lives," Homann observes. "So we know that people are increasingly conscious of the value of the night. A time of darkness is a time of reflection. It needs to be protected, and to be cherished in its own right. This exhibition shows the roots of that conversation, and it joins it too. It's a richer conversation than people might expect."

We at Las F love when you ask questions, and we encourage that if you have anything you want to know more about, just drop us a line and we'll gladly look into it. That being said, we do get a ton of requests - if you haven't seen yours yet, rest assured they're coming. There are also a handful of questions that we get all the time, and so in an effort to knock out a bunch at once, and not have to reply to every single one, here are the most frequently asked questions and the answers.
1. How do I ___________ on Blogger?
Okay, to be honest, for all those of you who seem to think we're these brilliant web page designers, we're truly not. We happen to know a little html, but mostly all the tools we need come from Blogger, and that's where we learned how to use them. I'd suggest that you go to them for help, and not us, because we are really not so bright that we just invented this all.
Although I have to admit, usually this question comes in the form of an insult, along the lines of, "You're both probably fat and ugly," or, "I hate when homely women make fun of other people." Sorry to disappoint you all - we like to be mysterious, and we'll never reveal what we look like, except to say that we're obviously not so hideous that we're locked in tall towers, and we're obviously not so fat that we can't walk to the computer and write for your entertainment. Other than that, get used to disappointment - we'll never tell. But we are planning on doing a post about ourselves soon (favorites, etc), so if you want to get in your own burning question, leave a comment and we'll try to let you know.
3. Can I link to you?
The answer is always yes. We're a public outlet, and all are welcome. Feel free to share our stuff with whomever you prefer.
4. What makes you think you're qualified to judge __________ ?
We...seriously don't know. I think this is where people take us too seriously, then they feel it's their responsibility to start taking us down. Well, okay, but it seems like a waste of energy to us. My personal theory is that the person we've skewered (or their mother) is writing the comment. If that's the case - then I guessed we hit a nerve, eh?
6. Can I comment in Spanish?/Puedo comentar en espanol?
Yes, but be forewarned that only one of us speaks Spanish, and I don't know how to make the tilde, accent or upside-down punctuation, so you'll have to muddle through my responses. We also take comments in French (nous parlons francais).
We want you! Any burning questions, things you want investigated? Post a comment with anything you're dying to know and we'll do our best to inform you proper.
Dual coast opinion with a penchant for the contemporary, from clothes to music to celebrity and beyond. This is a blog for our own amusement, but please feel free to comment (we hate silent lurkers)! Fair warning: if we don't like your comment, prepare to be roasted in your own special post. Above all, keep it clean.

The Android L Beta for Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 arrives tomorrow morning for developers that want to try the new Android L Release ahead of the consumer release later this year.
Although Google is not offering the full name of the Android L Release they are sharing early builds with Android developers starting on June 26th.
If you want to install the Android L Release without waiting, you will need to visit the Google Developer page on june 26th to download the Android L Beta for select devices. This is an early release that may not include all functions, but it is one that most users should be able to install.
Google did not announce a full set of Android L Release device compatibility, but did confirm that the Android L Beta is coming for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. It is possible that this is only for the Nexus 7 2013 model, and very likely only the WiFi model.
The Android L Beta arrives as a Android L Release developer preview for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.
On June 26th there will be an Android L Developer Preview SDK available that will help developers start programming for the new version of Android, and all the design changes it will bring to apps.
In addition Google will offer Android L system images for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. Although the company was careful not to call this a Android L Beta, with the SDK and sample image files it should offer Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 owners a chance to get Android L early.
Users that want to try the Android L Beta can visit Developer.Android.com to download the files needed and check back with Gotta Be Mobile for a guide on how to install the Android L Beta on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.
If you are interested in trying the Android L Beta you should make sure that you have a spare device for development. Installing an Android L Release developer preview on your only phone may cause instability issues, app problems and other issues while Google finishes development and developers work on updating apps.
You may need to register as an Android Developer for $25 using this site. On June 26th we will find out if this is a requirement to download the Android L Beta sample files for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.
Here are a few of the new Android L Release features.
This is the biggest Android release to date, according to Google. It includes the following features and more.
Android L includes a new look, with more depth to apps and the operating system. There is also a vastly improved Notification system including access on the lock screen. For smart watch users, the Android L powered smartphone will detect a watch and remove the need to enter a pin. The search is also dramatically improved with the ability to see what app you found info in earlier that day, even if you don't remember.
A new multitasking view allows users to see individual Chrome tabs alongside their apps, for a more realistic view of what you were working in last. Google promises better performance for gaming, better overall performance that will speed up apps and a new battery life improvement that can deliver up to 90 minutes of added use in a typical day.
I will wait for your installation guide for this android L beta version. As a developer, I have both Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 with me that is right now place on qi wireless charger, and waiting for 26th June to install it on both of the devices.
android L, rumored to be Lollipop.
What about the nexus 4?
Lmfao at Dave. Where's your Github?
What is the RAM requirement for the dev preview?

Bioethics and large-scale biobanking: individualistic ethics and collective projects*
Garrath Williams
Genomics, Society and Policy volume 1, Article number: 50 (2005) Cite this article
Like most bioethical discussion, examination of human biobanks has been largely framed in terms of research subjects' rights, principally informed consent, with some gestures toward public benefits. However, informed consent is for the competent, rights-bearing individual: focussing on the individual, it thus neglects social, economic and even political matters; focussing on the competent rights-bearer, it does not serve situations where consent is plainly inappropriate (eg, the young child) or where coercion can obviously be justified (the criminal).
Using the British experience of large-scale biobanking, I argue that the focus on consenting individuals distorts our ways of thinking about biobanks and has serious practical ramifications. This becomes clear if we contrast the case of adult biobanks intended for medical research with two other forms of biobanking. Thus child cohort studies - vital for sound scientific investigation of the interplay of genetics and environment in health - have been very badly funded next to adult studies. On the other hand, forensic databases have attracted massive investment, but little debate - partly owing to a sense that here, at least, is a case where consent is not relevant.
Contrasting these central types of biobanking, I will suggest that there are powerful factors at work in limiting 'ethics' to individual rights. Projects of this size should direct our attention to more overtly political questions concerning priority setting and organisation of medical research.

Nora Segura is a very conflicted gal. Most of her body says it's summer, given that she rarely wears pants and often shows a hip-line that's dangerously close to uncensored on her Instagram @norasegura. However, another area of her body says otherwise (we'd say "use your imagination," but there will be no need for that).
