The Business of People
by Campaign for Social Science
Tackling infectious disease, understanding radicalisation, improving productivity, getting people to save for retirement and nearly all the issues facing the UK, this book outlines the size and structure of UK social science, how social science graduates are essential to the work of firms, government and the third sector.
The Business of People Summary
The Business of People: The significance of social science over the next decade by Campaign for Social Science
Tackling infectious disease, understanding radicalisation, improving productivity, siting new airport capacity, getting people to save for retirement - nearly all the issues facing the UK now and in the near future demand the urgent attention of those trained to study human processes. In short, we need sharp social science now more than ever.
The Business of People looks at the backdrop to the UK elections taking place in May 2015 to argue that we need to invest in science and innovation - not just for the sake of `UK plc' and prospects for growth and economic recovery, but to inform debate and policymaking on migration, housing, devolution of power within the UK, and the UK's position in Europe.
The report sets out the need for new economic and social knowledge and illustrates the many ways in which social scientists are contributing to changing practice and deepening knowledge. It outlines the size and structure of UK social science, its contribution to GDP, how social science graduates are essential to the work of firms, government and the third sector.
The report ends with a set of recommendations for the next few years - urgent reading for the next government - on research funding, social science capacity and the use of expert advice by government.

Federal Contract Workers Strike, Demand Living Wages
Contract workers in federal buildings, including cooks and janitors, went on strike Wednesday to protest low wages, which force many of them to rely on food stamps to feed their families. Though President Obama, through executive order, raised the minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10, many say it's not enough. "I work as a cook in the Senate cafeteria and I don't make enough to give my kids a shot at the American Dream," said Bertrand Olotara (right) at a Capitol Hill rally Wednesday. Olotara says he makes $12 an hour and has taken a second job, working 70 hours a week, yet he has trouble paying rent, buying school supplies for his kids and putting food on the table. "I hate to admit it, but I have to use food stamps so that my kids don't go to bed hungry," he wrote in a powerful opinion piece published in The Guardian.

J Dilla – 'The Diary' Review
The late, great hip-hop producer's shelved 2002 album is a respectable cap on a great body of work
If James Dewitt Yancey has been all but canonised by a certain corner of hip hop fandom, it's easy to see why. In part it's because the Detroit-born rapper and beat-maker died in tragic circumstances in 2006: aged 32, after having being diagnosed with the auto-immune disease lupus and rare blood disease TTP. But in larger part, it's because of the music he produced – a scuffed-up, sample-based hip hop that warped classic soul into something melodic, psychedelic and deeply funky. Yancey was hardly a household name, but his influence has been profound. "We think, 'If Dilla was alive, would he like this?'" said Kanye West in 2014. "I have to work on behalf of Dilla."
'The Diary' was intended to be Dilla's arrival as a major-label MC. After a period producing for the likes of The Pharcyde, De La Soul and Janet Jackson, he signed to MCA and began work on a vocal album. But the album was shelved around 2002 – major-label bullsh*t, the usual – and instead Dilla changed tack, moving to LA and following a more underground path.
Completed by representatives of Yancey's estate, 'The Diary' is a glimpse of the Dilla we might have known: not the revered producer, but a champion MC leading an album packed with guest productions and cameos. Some tracks have been released – 'Trucks', a pimped-out remodel of Gary Numan's 'Cars', and Dilla's 2001 single 'F*ck The Police', a sweary middle finger to the cops powered by fluttering flutes and a sturdy funky drummer backbeat. Much, though, is new. 'Gangsta Boogie' is a squirming G-funk jam of the kind that's pretty much obligated to feature a Snoop Dogg verse (it does, too), while 'The Ex' is a Pete Rock-produced soul number featuring Bilal that'll charm anyone currently bumping Kendrick or D'Angelo.
Certainly, 'The Diary' does give the lie to a certain view of Dilla: the backroom guy making downbeat instrumental hip hop. On 'Fight Club', he sounds pugilistic, spitting war rhymes over a tense kick drum. Nothing here totally confounds the suspicion that Yancey was a brilliant producer, but merely an able rapper. Still, as a respectable cap on a great body of work, 'The Diary' will do nicely.

Disaster in Dallas: Giants get blown out and lose Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley and Kenny Golladay to injuries
By Dan Duggan
ARLINGTON, Texas — Rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney looks like a star. Thus ends the accounting of the positives for the New York Giants from their trip to Dallas.
The 44-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday was only the tip of the iceberg from a disastrous day for the Giants. Far more significant than the result, which dropped the Giants' record to 1-4, was the catastrophic spate of injuries that struck several of the team's most important players.
Quarterback Daniel Jones was carted off in the second quarter after a violent helmet-to-helmet collision with Cowboys linebacker Jabril Cox. A clearly woozy Jones stumbled when he got to his feet after getting stuffed at the goal line on a keeper. Jones was diagnosed with a concussion and now enters the league's protocol that will dictate the length of his absence.
Running back Saquon Barkley, in his fifth game back from a torn ACL, suffered a nasty injury to his left ankle when he stepped on the foot of Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis after a first-quarter incompletion. Barkley hobbled off the field and underwent a lengthy examination by trainers on the sideline before getting driven by a cart to the locker room. Barkley was spotted in a walking boot and on crutches after the game. The excessive swelling captured by Fox cameras likely indicates a significant sprain.
Top wide receiver Kenny Golladay hyperextended his knee in the first quarter. He tried to play through the injury, but he was removed from the game after failing to record a catch in the first half.
Other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Losing Jones, Barkley and Golladay would be bad enough. But the Giants already were short-handed on offense. Wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton, who are both dealing with hamstring injuries, were sidelined for the second consecutive game.
Left tackle Andrew Thomas, who had been playing at an exceptionally high level, dressed but didn't play Sunday because of a foot injury. That's after the Giants lost center Nick Gates (broken leg) and left guard Shane Lemieux (torn patellar tendon) for the season in the first two weeks. The Giants have had five different players take snaps at left guard this season.
The Giants said they were following a "next man up" approach after Sunday's game. The problem is the man behind the next man up is being called up at this point, and this wasn't a particularly deep roster to begin with.
There's a chance Jones could pass through the concussion protocol in time for next Sunday's game against the Rams, but that's impossible to predict at this point. The NFL Network reported Sunday night that Barkley is "week to week," which seems optimistic considering the extreme torque on his ankle after he stepped on Lewis' foot. Golladay said he'll get an MRI on Monday and "hope for the best." Golladay missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury and has played through hip and groin injuries over the past three weeks.
Any time missed by those players threatens to dig the Giants' hole even deeper. They're in last place in the NFC East, three games behind the first-place Cowboys. Their next five games are against teams with a combined 16-8 record.
"I think all we have to do is just keep fighting and come back to work," said backup quarterback Mike Glennon, who replaced Jones. "This is the NFL. You put your head down and you come back the next week and put our best foot forward. It's just business as usual."
Here are seven takeaways from Sunday's game:
1. As if the injuries didn't provide enough drama, there was Toney's day. The injuries to Shepard and Slayton may have been the best thing to happen to the Giants in the big picture. Toney was an afterthought in the offense during the first three weeks, but he was pressed into a featured role when the Giants lost two of their top receivers.
Toney has seized the opportunity.
Displaying what Glennon called a unique ability to make defenders miss, Toney had 10 catches for 189 yards on Sunday. His numbers would have been even more impressive if he wasn't ejected for throwing a punch at Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee midway through the fourth quarter.
More on the ejection in a moment, but first a deeper dive into Toney's emergence as a game-changing force. Toney, who had four catches for 14 yards in the first three games, had six catches for 78 yards in a breakout performance in a win over the Saints last week.
Toney took his game to another level against the Cowboys, single-handedly willing the decimated Giants offense down the field. Repeatedly, Toney made acrobatic, contested catches downfield. He consistently gained significant separation with crisp routes and lightning-quick breaks. And then when he got the ball in his hands, Toney continued to make world-class athletes look like puppies on a hardwood floor.
The Giants continue to add wrinkles to use Toney's diverse skills. There was a well-designed double pass, but backup running back Devontae Booker dropped Toney's crossfield throw. Toney also took a direct snap and ran a zone-read keeper for a 7-yard gain on third-and-goal from the 9-yard line early in the fourth quarter with the Giants trying to make it a one-score game.
"He's special," Glennon said. "I think he showed what he's capable of doing. That was fun to see. You just don't see that at the NFL level very often, making guys miss like that. He's got a unique skill set that we're all finally seeing."
But even Toney was unable to avoid spending time with the trainers. He missed a few plays to have his right ankle retaped after making a spectacular 43-yard catch from Jones in the second quarter. He was again sidelined briefly after making a 26-yard catch from Glennon in the fourth quarter. Toney was pointing at his right ankle while riding a cart with medical personnel after the game, presumably to get an X-ray.
2. For all of Toney's brilliance, his most memorable moment will be a momentary lapse in judgment. After catching a pass midway through the fourth quarter and fighting for extra yardage, Toney was pushed to the ground by Kazee after the whistle. Tight end Evan Engram shoved Kazee, setting off some standard pushing and shoving between players. Then Toney got to his feet, walked toward Kazee and threw a punch at the safety's head.
It was inexcusably dumb for a variety of reasons. First, it's never smart for someone who makes a living using his hands to throw a punch at someone wearing a hard helmet. Second, a punch is a near-automatic ejection, and Toney was promptly sent to the locker room by the officials. Third, Toney is subject to further discipline from the league. He surely is looking at a hefty fine (the league fines players $36,148 for fighting) and a possible suspension. Bears receiver Javon Wims was suspended two games last season for punching a Saints player in a game.
"There's a pretty distinct line in terms of competing and doing the things we're not going to condone as a team that put us behind," head coach Joe Judge said. "That's not going to be accepted. It's not going to be condoned."
It's great that Toney is a fiery competitor, but as Judge said, there's a fine line. Toney crossed that line Sunday and there were repercussions for him and the team.
"At the end of the day, he's still a rookie and he has a lot of learning to do," Golladay said. "He's going to make mistakes. The only thing I can tell him is not to make that mistake. I'm pretty sure he wishes he could have that moment back and turn the other cheek. He'll learn from it."
3. Jones' legs are a legitimate weapon and add a dimension to an offense that has struggled to score. But there's an inherent injury risk with a running quarterback, and the Giants experienced the downside Sunday.
The challenge for Jones is learning how to avoid the type of collisions that led to the concussion. Everyone cheered when he trucked Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett on a two-point conversion in Week 3, but that's not a viable long-term approach.
Jones faked a handoff and took off on a bootleg around the left end Sunday. As Cox closed in, Jones lowered his head and tried to barrel through the 6-foot-3, 235-pounder. The result was a vicious helmet-to-helmet collision.
Jones lay prone for a moment before getting to his feet. But he was clearly disoriented as he wobbled back toward the huddle. Trainers eventually helped Jones onto a cart, and he was driven back to join Barkley in the locker room.
"To be honest, I thought he just got the wind knocked out of him," Golladay said. "He laid there for a second, got up, put his hands on his knees. Anytime you see a player get up and stumble a little bit, it doesn't matter, quarterback or not, it's kind of scary."
4. The offense was a mess early, as Jones was uncharacteristically inaccurate and under constant duress behind a makeshift offensive line. He misfired on his first six attempts before connecting with Toney for the 43-yard gain on a third-and-10 heave in the second quarter.
The Giants started their first possession at their 49-yard line after a Lorenzo Carter interception, but they came up empty after a missed 54-yard field goal by Graham Gano. Gano has missed two field goals in the past two weeks after making 37 straight.
The offense finally found some rhythm by going up-tempo late in the second quarter, with a 28-yard catch and run by Toney putting the ball at Dallas' 2-yard line. Two runs by Booker failed to reach the end zone, which set up the fateful Jones keeper that prematurely ended his day.
Booker leaped into the end zone when the Giants went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line after Jones' injury. Glennon performed credibly, completing 16 of 25 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
After leading a field goal drive to open the second half, Glennon's first interception came with the Giants trailing 24-13 midway through the third quarter. He made the mistake of testing Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, who outmuscled wide receiver C.J. Board on a deep ball for his sixth interception of the season.
The Giants drove to Dallas' 2-yard line early in the fourth quarter but turned the ball over on downs when Glennon's fourth-down pass fell incomplete after Toney slipped coming out of his break. Glennon later led a touchdown drive that was capped by a 3-yard toss to Booker, but he threw a pick six to cornerback Anthony Brown that caused the score to get out of hand late.
5. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott continued his dominance of the Giants. In his first game against the Giants since his ankle was broken when the teams played a year ago, Prescott completed 22 of 32 passes for 302 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He has now won eight straight against the Giants, completing 65.9 percent of his passes for 2,277 yards (284.6 per game), 19 touchdowns and three interceptions in those games.
Dallas' first touchdown came when Prescott hit CeeDee Lamb over cornerback James Bradberry for a 49-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. Bradberry was expecting Lamb to run a route to the first-down marker on third-and-8, and he couldn't catch up when Lamb went streaking down the right sideline.
Bradberry has surrendered four touchdowns in five games after allowing just three touchdowns while earning his first Pro Bowl selection last season. Bradberry should have had an interception after jumping a route in the red zone just before halftime, but he couldn't hang on. On the next play, receiver Amari Cooper put rookie corner Rodarius Williams in a blender for a 24-yard touchdown to give Dallas a 17-10 lead heading into halftime.
Bradberry's struggles are emblematic of a defense that seemingly maxed out last season. The best players from that unit have looked ordinary this season, with a startling lack of big plays.
"Obviously, we have to play better," Judge said. "We have to coach better. We have to execute better. That's across the board."
6. The Giants were equally overmatched against the Cowboys' rushing attack. Dallas repeatedly pounded runs around the right edge for big gains in the first half.
Ezekiel Elliott had 21 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown, and backfield mate Tony Pollard had 14 carries for 75 yards. The Giants have given up 371 yards on 78 carries (4.8 yards per carry) over the past two weeks. That's alarming considering how much the Giants have invested in defensive linemen — Leonard Williams, who signed a three-year, $63 million contract this offseason, and Dexter Lawrence, a 2019 first-round pick — whose strength is stopping the run.
The Giants miss inside linebacker Blake Martinez, who is out for the season with a torn ACL, and safety Jabrill Peppers, who missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, would have provided a physical presence. But there are enough pieces in place for the Giants to be performing better defensively.
The Cowboys would have scored more than 44 points if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot several times. Tight end Dalton Schultz dropped a touchdown early that forced Dallas to settle for a field goal, and Prescott fumbled a snap from the Giants' 5-yard line that was recovered by linebacker Reggie Ragland.
The Cowboys sealed the game by driving 98 yards for a touchdown after the Giants' turnover on downs early in the fourth quarter. A 13-yard touchdown run by Elliott capped the drive and gave Dallas a 34-13 lead with 7:34 remaining.
7. Just how much of a debacle was Sunday? Toney was upset the second time he left the game with an apparent ankle injury. After trainers examined Toney on the bench, Peppers came over to check on the rookie. Toney got off the bench quickly and accidentally head-butted Peppers in the face. Trainers then checked Peppers' face for injury.
An injured player getting checked for a new injury suffered at the hands of a teammate — it was that kind of day for the Giants.

Saudi Arabia: Place on the board of UN Women 'a sad joke'
It took years to make the United Nations' newest agency, UN Women, a reality, and then just one day to effectively kill it. Death was effected by allowing onto its board a kingdom where women are not just infamously prohibited from driving but are also virtual minors who need a male guardian's permission to travel and to have surgery — and must be covered from head to toe in public. As one of two countries guaranteed seats as emerging donor nations, Saudi Arabia essentially bought its way onto the board of UN Women, which is dedicated to gender equality around the world. Just three days after securing an automatic seat, Saudi Arabia gave us a reminder of just how oxymoronic its place on UN Women is, when its team showed up at the Asian Games in China without a single woman among the 180-strong delegation.
Iran, another country with a dismal women's rights record, lost its bid for election to the board of UN Women after furious back-channel diplomacy by the United States and its allies. Still, at the games, which started in China on Saturday, Iran will field 92 female athletes in its 395-strong delegation. Welcome to the ugly world of wrangling over women's rights records depending on whether "we" like you or not.
Don't misunderstand — Iran deserves to be kept out of UN Women. Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi had warned just before the vote that it was a "joke" that her country was in line to get a place on the board. But she said the same of Saudi Arabia, rightly pointing out that its women's rights record was worse than Iran's.
It's not as if the UN was unaware of that abysmal record. After all, who could forget the farce that ensued when a Saudi delegation appeared for the first time before the UN women's rights panel in Geneva in 2008 and absurdly insisted that women in their country faced no discrimination?
But the most ludicrous claim came when the UN committee asked why Saudi men could marry up to four wives. With a straight face, a Saudi delegate — a man, of course — explained that it was to ensure a man's sexual appetite was satisfied legally if one wife could not fulfill it.
Not surprisingly, then-UN special rapporteur on violence against women, Yakin Erturk, soon went to Saudi Arabia on a 10-day fact-finding mission.
So where was the outrage on voting day, Nov. 10, as Saudi Arabia's "generous contribution" landed it on UN Women's board?
Distracted, at best.
U.S., European Union, Australian and Canadian diplomats had been working hard to kick Iran off the list of 10 countries from the Asian region up for election to the board. Iran — which for weeks has been threatening to stone a woman for alleged adultery — does not belong on the board.
But it was disgusting to hear American ambassador to the UN Susan E. Rice celebrate Iran's defeat and yet, when pushed on Saudi Arabia, say only that she would "not deny that there were several countries that are going to join the board of UN women that have less than stellar records on women's rights, indeed human rights."
Once again, women are the cheapest bargaining chips, thrown on the table to silence and appease allies and "major donors."
Why are countries such as Saudi Arabia eager to join international bodies like UN Women? Because it translates into clout — membership in a powerful new agency — with very few obligations.
In 2000, Saudi Arabia ratified an international bill of rights for women but stipulated that the country's interpretation of Islamic law (Sharia) would prevail if there were conflicts with the bill's provisions. So why sign in the first place? Especially as that interpretation is where so much discrimination against women originates — polygamy, half inheritance allotted to a man, little access to divorce and child marriage among them.
Other countries also hide behind those reservations, which begs the question of why they're allowed to sign conventions they effectively neuter.
It's worth noting here that the U.S. hasn't ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, so it doesn't stand on the firmest of ground when it wants to lecture others.
And a day after the U. N. Women fiasco, the U.S. joined China, Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and others in opposing the call of a UN General Assembly human rights committee for a moratorium on the death penalty.
Human rights groups have vowed extra scrutiny for Saudi Arabia, and some Saudi women have said it could help them to have that additional spotlight on the kingdom. But as long as Saudi Arabia has that way out — the religion card — it makes a mockery of the system.
Saudi activists courageously fight against a compendium of horrors that girls and women face, but international acquiescence to oil — the kingdom sits on the world's largest reserves — and the fact that Saudi Arabia is home to Islam's two holiest sites too often guarantee it a free pass.
If UN Women is to have any bite, it should focus on justice for Saudi women and not on their country's "generous contributions."

and ye that hope in the Lord."
On September 11, 2001 I woke up about 5:00 am and could not go back to sleep. I turned on the TV to watch the local news program just in time to see the planes crash into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. I was stunned. As I watched all of the sights and sounds of our nation's attack, the personal testimonies and the pictures of suffering families were overwhelming. Yet, the Lord was so real and such and encouragement to me during the week that followed. As I saw the first scenes unfold on TV, the Holy Spirit began bringing Scripture to my mind. The words of King David, whose life was surrounded by chaos and danger, brought to my mind that God is my stability and rock in the midst of chaos. This passage encouraged me to trust God's stability in seemingly unstable situations, "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." Psalm 62:5-8.
The morning after the attack I woke up with a praise song running through my head. It was a powerful song about Christ's return. Then I turned on the TV and I saw a mother from California sharing how her son, Mark had called her from the plane that went down in Pennsylvania. He told her he knew they were going to die no matter what they did so they were going to try to take control of the plane back so no one on the ground would die. He told her calmly he loved her and then 12 minutes later he died. She looks at his call as a beautiful gift, proud that he would give his life to save others.
As I left to walk and pray for her, I was reminded of Christ going to the Garden of Gethsemane to talk to His Father about His imminent death. I wondered if the mother and son shared the same emotions as Christ shared with His Father that dark night long ago. As Christ intensely prayed, God whose very nature is love had to ache, knowing what Christ would endure. Yet, just as the mother expressed comfort she had in her son's sacrifice, our heavenly Father and Christ were comforted by the joy of people being redeemed and reconciled to God. As I contemplated the cross, the song I had woken up thinking about came flooding back unto my head. The first words of the chorus are, "Behold He Comes, riding on the clouds!" When I checked my email, I found some German friends had written of their concern for us. They ended their letter with a praise that Christ is coming back! Both the song and the sentiment our friends expressed are reflective of Revelation 14:14 and Revelation 19:11-16. "And I looked and, behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat, like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle…And I saw heaven opened and, behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but He himself. And He was clothed with vesture dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies that were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations, and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords."
Out of New York's tragedy I learned I live too much in the shadow of the cross. Even though we are brought back to the cross every time we confess and repent of sin or take communion, we need to also embrace the truth that Christ has been resurrected and He is coming back. When we focus on the truth that we serve a living God who is victorious over both sin and death we are free to live in a way that honors God. While the cross is a beautiful picture of His outrageous love, our strength comes in remembering His power displayed in the resurrection. If we live in light of the truth that He is coming back, we will be comforted by knowing when He returns He will rule and reign in all of His glory and justice will be carried out perfectly. By remembering the descriptions found in Revelation we are able to live courageously in the face of these hard events that ordinarily paralyze us. We are able to love people who are not easy to love, able to say no to nagging temptations, and be able to grieve losses as people who have full confidence in God's faithfulness.
May I ask you of you are living in the light of His promise to return? Does that truth purify your heart and give you the courage to love boldly and courageously? Do you long for His return?
Prayer: Father, the 9-11 tragedy is still hard to comprehend. Please continue to be with families who lost loved ones that day. Help us trust in Christ's power during all tragedy's we face. Draw our minds to the fact that Christ is coming back with his glory fully manifested for He is Faithful and True, King of Kings and Lord of Lords and will reign in love and perfect righteousness. Amen.

In 1925, an expedition of treasure hunters visit the ancient Egyptian city of Hamunaptra, hoping to find significant and valuable archaeological artifacts. Instead, they stumble upon a lost tomb containing the mummy of Imhotep, a priest who had been buried alive 3,000 years ago for betraying his Pharaoh.

Walking On Sunshine – Happy Birthday Mom!
family, Family Nature Summits
Today is my mom's birthday and we are lucky to be together for her birthday!
Mom is always keen about Trashmagination and my other projects. Just to illustrate the lengths to which she will go to show her support, let me tell you about an event at last week's Family Nature Summit.
First – some background: When I was in high school, I liked participating in lip sync contests. Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves was one song that I performed. I made a big sign that said "Sunshine Carpet Company," dressed up like a cleaning lady with a kerchief on my head and borrowed my sister's yellow carpet. When the song came on, I acted like I was the only person in the place, cleaning after everyone had gone home, and rocked it out with my broom as my guitar.
A few weeks before the Summit, Nora and I were driving and the song Walking On Sunshine came on the radio. Every time I hear that song I get a big smile on my face so I told Nora about what I did in high school. She said, "That sounds like fun!" I suggested that perhaps we could do the act together at the Family Nature Summits talent show that was coming up. Nora was keen, so we planned our dance steps, made our costumes, painted our "Sunshine Carpet Company" sign and practiced.
Nora Gets Nervous
When we arrived at the Summit, Nora got nervous about performing in front of a crowd – and rightfully so, because it was a pretty brave thing to do when you are nine years old. I told her that was no problem, I only wanted her to dance if she wanted to. I could tell she was really on the fence because she kept changing her mind about whether to perform.
The afternoon before the talent show, my mom asked to see a dry run in our hotel room. My mom's toes started tapping and quickly she asked if she could do the act with me. At first, I was concerned because Nora and I had practiced for two weeks, we had only two costumes, and the show was in an hour. Then Mom suggested to Nora, "If I join the dance, will you dance too?" She also offered to paint Nora's toes if she danced. We agreed to toss our costumes. That was enough. We were now an act of three generations.
Performing in the Talent Show
We were the first comedy act so the Summit participants reacted with lots of laughter and noise. The dance was a blur. But luckily, we got these photos from the Summit photographer and my dad:
Nora playing her guitar / broom during our dance to Walking on Sunshine – photo by Nicky Steussy-Williams
Doesn't Nora look exquisitely beautiful and happy in this photo?
Afterwards lots of people said how special it was to have three generations of a family in one act, and they also praised Mom for being an example to all the grandmas in the room for her energy. Little did they know that she learned the steps only minutes before.

Nora and Mom dancing to the lyric "gotta hold myself down"
After the show, Nora went to Nana's room to get her toes painted pink. We also gave her a scarf that she had been eyeing in the Summit store. We were so proud that she took a chance and had a great time. But it would not have happened if not for her amazing Nana.
I hope she remembers my Mom's example whenever she is faced with an opportunity to have fun and push herself. Just try your best, throw on a kerchief, grab a broom and improvise!
Happy Birthday Mom & Nana!

Q: Screen Scraping with Ruby on Rails Am a newbie in RoR. I want to develop a rails app, which could search flight info from my rails app, fetch the flight informations from various airlines sites(for example; airasia and malaysia airlines).  display those results back in my rails app.
My search module should include the following textfields:
From: Kuala Lumpur
To: Dubai
Departure Date:2/11/2009
Return date: 19/11/2009
Departure Time: 12:00
Number of tickets: 2

user gets to enter the information above on my site and
a script should search flights according to that information on various airlines sites and
display the results with the tag of which airlines is providing this flight.
Can either use "Scrapi" or "Scrubyt"

A:
can anyone offer an assistance?

Don't. Find another get rich quick scheme. Or at least don't rely on screen scraping.
There's so much potential for it to go wrong. Find another way to get the information to aggregate. Use API's if they exist and store the schedules in the databases (they rarely change on a week to week basis). Storing things locally makes things faster for your customers, it also allows you to provide more services.
Here are just a few of the potential problems with screen scraping:

*

*Minor updates to the sites you're scraping can break your tool.

*Scraping attempts from your server's IP can be denied.

*Depending on the information, you could possibly even get sued.

A: To start with scraping, you can refer to the post -

Jim e and I got up reasonably early and after a quick breakfast we headed to the Cafe de las Madres near the Plaza de Mayo.
After a drink and a look at the pictures and the list of disappeared persons at the cafe, we walked over to the Plaza de Mayo and watched the mothers and grandmothers as the walked around the plaza. I even walked a bit with them.
We met Frank, a French-speaker from Montreal there after earlier meeting him at the hotel.
After searching unsuccessfully for a vegetarian restaurant, we ended up eating at a mediocre restaurant with mate (the ubiquitous tea-like beverage served warm in cured pumpkin gourds), bruschetta, and empanadas (which weren't as delicious as the one I had near the plastic surgery clinic).
That evening, we went to a vegetarian restaurant called Bio in Palermo Viejo, which was hands down my favorite restaurant in all of Buenos Aires.

When I arrived back at my residence after a long day in the office, I found that my house manager had left an unmarked cardboard box on the desk in my study. "Odd," I thought, "Delphi's always told me when a package has arrived, but she has never left it on the desk in my study before - she knows the study is off-limits." I punched the intercom button: "Delphi dear, who's the package from that you left in the study?" The intercom crackled and Delphi said "I don't know what you're talking about sir. I haven't been in the study." Curious and perplexed, I clicked off the intercom and cut open the cardboard container to extract a finely crafted rosewood box about a half a meter in length on each of its three axes. The box' exterior was smooth and unmarked, and except for a ten-tumbler combination lock on one face of the cube, it gave no indication as to its contents. I looked through the packing materials for instructions on how to open the box - or at the very least something with a combination written on it; but to no avail. Irritated, I thought "Who would send me something so absurd?" Knowing that there were 10-to-the-10th-power possible combinations for the 10 tumblers to open the box, I didn't even try. That's ten billion possible combinations!
Taking the box with me, I walked down to my listening room. Setting the puzzling box aside on the couch, I turned on my beloved Fi 2A3 monoblock amplifiers and Audio Logic 2400 vacuum tube DAC. While waiting for the tubes to warm up, I poured myself a glass of port, then sat down in my listening chair to enjoy Sunday at the Village Vanguard by the Bill Evans Trio on a JVC XRCD [JVCXR-0051-2]. As the evening sun faded, I got up to light the candelabra by the window overlooking the pool. As I did, I noticed something peculiar - the rosewood box appeared to be dimly glowing. Upon closer inspection, I found faint writing on the box glowing cobalt blue in the light cast by the 2A3 tubes of my trusty Fi amps. Intrigued, I walked over and turned on the lights. I walked back to inspect the box more closely. To my amazement, the writing was gone! Puzzled, I walked back and turned off the lights. Once again, the faint blue writing reappeared in the light from the tubes: The writing could only be seen in the light cast by a 2A3 tube!
Upon further careful inspection, the writing turned out to be sequence of numbers; ten numbers: 1123581321. The combination for the lock! But then I thought, "How odd is it to use a combination that could only be discerned in the light of a 2A3 tube." Unless, of course, it was a message meant only for me, not to be discerned by anyone else among the secret audio society of Eastern Washington State. This was intriguing. It meant someone knew I was the only one among the local audio Illuminati with 2A3 amplifiers. What could it mean? Then it dawned on me. The combination of 1123581321 was the Fibonacci sequence of 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21! Leonardo Fibonacci was the famous 13th century mathematician who had developed the legendary sequence wherein the sum of the first two numbers produces the third number, and the sum of the second and third numbers produce the fourth number, and so on. But not only that: 21 divided by 13, 13 divided by 8, and 8 divided by 5 all give the same ratio: 1.615384. I recognized that number as the Golden Ratio Phi immediately. Ha! I now thought I knew who my conspirator was!
I entered the numbers into the tumblers and heard a small click as the top of the box was released. I lifted up the lid of the box to see inset into the lid's underside a beautifully carved nautilus symbol of maple burl outlined with golden wire. Below it was another number sequence inlaid in gold: 1.615384. On top of the contents of the box was a series of parchments with all kinds of complex Leonardo Da Vinci-like drawings and curious symbols, some of which I recognized, and some that I didn't. The all-seeing eye of the Illuminati was there; as was Da Vinci's drawing of the Vitruvian Man; and the numbers of the Divine or Golden Ratio repeating across the parchments: 1.615384. Of course, now I was sure I knew the identity of my correspondent. It had to be Brian Von Bork of Cardas Audio!
Back in October 2003, Doc Bottlehead had put on the ever-popular Vacuum State of the Art Conference and Show aka Audio Illuminati Show in Silverdale, Washington. While visiting the many exhibitor rooms, I stopped in to chat with the Cardas folks and was impressed with the innovative hanging magnet cable display designed by Cardas' Brian Von Bork. Imagine a big rack about the size of an upright metal bed frame with a bunch of steel plates hanging from it. On each plate, the decapitated ends of cables were stuck on with magnets, so you could pull them off and investigate up close how each model was made. It was definitely the coolest and most informative cable display I'd ever seen. I liked it so much, I awarded it a "Jeff's Picks" for Most Innovative Display Award in my VSAC coverage here at 6moons.
In chatting with Brian, we had come to the conclusion that I should do a full system Cardas review for our readers. I told Brian to surprise me and send whatever he thought would be a good match for my system. Boy was I surprised when the cryptic rosewood box revealed a full set of Cardas' top-of-the-line Golden Reference speaker cables and two pairs of Golden Reference interconnects! I was wowed by the ultra-high quality of the fit and finish of this Golden Reference cables set.
If ever an audio cable could be called beautiful, it surely is the elegant Golden Reference with its matt-finished navy blue urethane jackets and grey termination jackets around the Rhodium-plated connectors. Very classy! I had specified RCAs on the interconnects, bananas on one end of my speaker cables and spades on the other to match my system needs. However, the Cardas Golden References cables are available in whatever style connector termination you prefer. The tactile feel of the cables is soft and flexible, making them very easy to position and work with - they are not at all stiff or unwieldy like certain other cables. There is no doubt that the Golden Reference interconnects at $917 per meter and matching Golden Reference speaker cables at $2388 for a 10' pair are expensive and something special just by looking at them and feeling them. They exude a sense of quality much like a fine Rolex watch does.
Phi -- 1.615384, the essential ingredient of sacred geometry in Greece, Tantrism, Buddhism, every-day biology and even fractals -- appeared in the very earliest human history and has been referred to as the Divine Number and the Golden Ratio, among other things. Readers of Dan Brown's mystery thriller The Da Vinci Code (which my introduction spoofs) know that the Phi ratio occurs throughout nature in curious places, giving rise to its moniker of the "Divine Number".
Did you know that if you divide the number of female honeybees by the number of male honey bees in a hive, you always get the same number? You get Phi. Did you know that each successive spiral of the chambered nautilus shell is related to each earlier spiral by a simple mathematical relationship? Phi again. It goes like that all through nature with various sea life, insects, plants and so forth caught up in the mathematical mystery that is Phi. Not only that, but there is even a connection of Phi to music: The ratio of the 5-note pentatonic scale to the 8-note diatonic scale is a close approximation of Phi, as is the ratio of the 8-note pentatonic scale to the 13-note chromatic scale. Whoa baby! What is it about Phi that makes it so influential?
-- along with all kinds of conspiratorial and controversial symbols. I found the pyramid and All Seeing Eye of the Great Seal of the United States, which is shrouded in mystery and intrigue because of the New World Order and Illuminati connections it suggests. I also found a flying saucer and a "the truth is out there" quote from the X-files, a couple of references to Stonehenge, a 666 embedded in the significant figures of Phi, and lots of others. How many can you find?
The Golden Reference speaker cable uses Cardas' patented "Golden Section" design, which in this case employs "multi-gauge stranding in a symmetrical, 12 conductor, helical triad of quad-axial planetary arrays of golden ratio, constant Q conductors". Whew! If, like me, you're not sure what that quote really means, look at the accompanying diagrams to see how the cable is put together. The smallest wire strands are at the center of the conductor bundles, and wrapped with copper Litz wire. The cable is constructed in a very complex manner with thin walled air tubes that provide a dielectric; internal Teflon jackets that surround the bundles of conductors; a Teflon graphite composite shield; several layers of Teflon binding and spiral shielding; capacitively coupled soft-shield drain conductors; and a final outer urethane jacket. It's obvious from their construction that a huge amount of thought and expense go into making the Golden Reference line of cables.

Number 5: One of my last posts from the road. I was crushing hard on a dude. Was it because he was a quality and good looking man or was it because he was serving me alcohol and pizza? We'll never know (yes we will).
Number 4: Because not working, traveling and having fun is tough work, I took a vacation.
Number 3: Because you people seem to love anything written about booze. You guys might want to dial back the drinking in 2014! Or step it up. Whatever.
Numbers 2 & 1: Speaking of Louisiana, that is where Jeremy Schaefer is right now. You know Jeremy, the guy running across the country to raise awareness for mental illness. Similar but different than what I did – driving across the country because of mental illness. This post and this post were not the most popular because I am an amazing writer. They received the most hits because Jeremy is doing something wonderful and he has many friends who came to the blog to see how they can support him.
One of the people following Jeremy's quest on his Pretty Big Run Facebook page felt bad that Jeremy was going to be alone for the holidays. This stranger flew Jeremy's son and ex-wife to Mississippi for Christmas.
UPDATE: One of Jeremy's friend's let me know she and many others helped coordinate the Christmas surprise over a six week period. Good for you, girl.


Engineered nanoparticles for biomedical applications requireincreasing effectiveness in targeting specific cells while preservingnon-target cell's safety. We developed a surface proteomicsmethod for a rapid and systematic analysis of the interphasebetween the nanoparticle protein corona and the targeting cellsthat could implement the rapid prototyping of nanomedicines.Native nanoparticles entering in a protein-rich liquid mediaquickly form a macromolecular structure called protein corona.This protein structure defines the physical interaction betweennanoparticles and target cells. The surface proteins compose thefirst line of interaction between this macromolecular structureand the cell surface of a target cell. We demonstrated that SUSTU(SUrface proteomics, Safety, Targeting, Uptake) provides aqualitative and quantitative analysis from the protein coronasurface. With SUSTU, the spatial dynamics of the protein coronasurface can be studied. Data from SUSTU would ascertain thenanoparticle functionalized groups exposed at destiny that couldcircumvent preliminary in vitro experiments. Therefore thismethod could implement the analysis of nanoparticle targetingand uptake capability and could be integrated into a rapidprototyping strategy which is a major challenge in nanomaterialscience. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifierPXD004636.
Proteomics is evolving as a multi-faceted tool for addressing various biochemical and biomedical queries in the field of scientific research. This involves various stages, ranging from sample preparation to data analysis and biological interpretation. Sample preparation involves isolating proteins from the sample source, purifying and digesting them to initiate shotgun proteomics. Shotgun proteomics identifies proteins by bottom-up proteomic approaches where proteins are identified from the fragmentation spectra of their own peptides.
Paper I: deals with the simplification of functional characterization for nanoparticles intended for use in biomedicine. Proteomics was constructive in differentiating and semi-quantifying the surface of protein corona. This could be beneficial in predicting the interactions between nanoparticles and a biological entity like the cell or a receptor protein and provide initial valuable information related to targeting, uptake and safety.
Paper II: deals with understanding effects of TiO2 nanoparticles on endothelial cells. A combinatorial approach, involving transcriptomics and proteomics was used to identify aberrations in the permeability and integrity of endothelial cells and tissues. Our study also investigated the correlation of size and how they motivated a differential cellular response. In case of intravenous entry for nanoparticles in targeted drug delivery systems, endothelial cells are the first barrier encountered by these drug carriers. This evaluation involving endothelial cell response could be very instrumental during the designing of NP based drug delivery systems.
Paper III: Pharmaceuticals and its metabolites could be very hazardous, especially if its disposal is not managed properly. Since water bodies are the ultimate sink, these chemicals could end up there, culminating in toxicity and other 'mixture effects' in combination with other factors. To evaluate the effects of the pharmaceutical, propranolol and climatic factors like low salinity conditions, a microcosm exposure was designed and shotgun proteomics helped understand its impact on mussel gills. In this study too, a combination of transcriptomics and proteomics unveiled molecular mechanisms altered in response to stressors, both individually and in combination.
Paper IV: An interplay of various factors like EBF1 and PAX5 determines B-cell lineage and commitment. This might have been materialized by direct and transient proteinprotein interactions. A unique method called BioID helped screen relevant interactions in living cells by the application of a promiscuous biotin ligase enzyme capable of tagging proteins through biotinylation based on a proximity radius. Biotinylation of endogenous proteins enabled their selective isolation by exploiting the high affinity of biotin and streptavidin on streptavidin coated agarose beads, leading to their identification by mass spectrometry. The biotinylated proteins were potential candidate interactors of EBF1 and PAX5, which were later confirmed by sequencing techniques like ChIP-Seq, ATAC seq, and visualization techniques like proximity ligation assay (PLA).

President Kersti Kaljulaid met today in Kadriorg with the Prime Minister of Poland, Beata Szydło. The meeting focused on co-operation between the two countries in the spheres of security and large-scale infrastructure projects, such as the construction of Rail Baltic and connecting the Baltic energy networks to Western Europe.
"Estonia and Poland share a very similar understanding of the international security situation and we work well together in ensuring safety along NATO's eastern wing," said the Head of State. The President highlighted the contribution of Poland to the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence and expressed her hope that the Polish air forces will soon also take part in NATO's Baltic air security mission.
The meeting focused on economic co-operation between the two countries and, above all, large infrastructure projects that offer connections for the region in general. "Rail Baltic is not merely the project of three Baltic states; this is a new transport corridor to link Northern Europe to the very heart of Europe. It is highly important for Poland that Rail Baltic is extended southwards. This is what Prime Minister Szydło confirmed at the meeting and I am extremely pleased to hear it," said President Kaljulaid.
The contribution of Poland is also important for the synchronisation of the Baltic electricity grid to the Central European network, and the Head of State expressed her hope that the technical and political agreements that are required to implement the process will be concluded this year.
In addition, Estonia's priorities during its holding of the Presidency of the European Union and the future of the European Union were discussed.

Q: Why does label need sizeToFit? If sizeToFit is not called, the label is invisible. Why is this?
class RootViewController: UIViewController {

    override func loadView() {

        let v = UIView()

        v.backgroundColor = .green

        self.view = v

        let label = UILabel()
        v.addSubview(label)
        label.text = "Hello, World!"

        label.autoresizingMask = [
            .flexibleTopMargin,
            .flexibleLeftMargin,
            .flexibleBottomMargin,
            .flexibleRightMargin]
        label.sizeToFit()
        label.center = CGPoint(v.bounds.midX, v.bounds.midY)
        label.frame = label.frame.integral
    }

}

A: UIView() is the same thing as UIView(frame: CGRect.zero). So the default size of your label is zero. You're using manual layout, which means that the system won't automatically resize your label. So whatever size you assign to it is the size it will have. Your code isn't assigning a size anywhere except for the call to sizeToFit(). So if you don't call sizeToFit(), your label will retain the zero size that you created it with. sizeToFit() changes its size to fit its contents, so you can actually see it.


A stage presentation in 3 Acts, It is a one-man show format of the volatile political leader who brought Newfoundland into the Canadian Confederation. The show uses 3 major playing areas, multiple lighting, music and sound effects to tell the story of Joseph Smallwood's career, from his birth in the isolated lumbering town of Gambo, to his reign as unchallenged leader of Newfoundland for a quarter of a century, and his final fall from power. A 3-person team of actor, director/stage manager and costume/props manager handles the production with one lighting and one sound technician.
First produced by Theatre NL in 1991. Produced across Canada by Mulgrave Road Theatre Co-op, 1992.
Joey returns to Newfoundland full of the zeal of social reform, and after a brief fling at politics, is caught up in the savage riots in St. John's that bring about the downfall of the government, and the surrender of Dominion status by the proud islanders in return for financial guarantees from Great Britain.
Smallwood remembers the depression years in Newfoundland, the dire poverty and the endemic sickness of the outport people, finally rescued by the establishment of American bases in World War 2. In 1945 when it all ends he is a successful pig farmer in the airport town of Gander, when he hears of a movement to restore self-government to Newfoundland. He will forsake his pigs and go back into politics.
Elected as a delegate to a National Convention summoned to consider and recommend a political future for the old Colony, Smallwood is the classic underdog when he proposes Confederation with Canada as the only solution to Newfoundland's economic isolation. The Churches, the wealthy merchants, the giant paper companies, the fish processors and small factory owners all fear competition from mainland business and Canadian taxes, and they refuse to even send a delegation to hear Ottawa's terms. Joey appeals over their heads to the people, the delegation is finally sent, and Confederation with Canada named as one of 3 choices on a referendum ballot.
The referendum is a savage battle and Smallwood is reviled as a traitor and a Judas Iscariot. The Independent forces win, but Joey is undaunted. He knows a runoff referendum must be held between the two top votegetters. This is the political strategists finest hour. He uses religious bigotry, the promise of senate seats, and judgeships, petitions, vote buying and a tireless fanaticism to win the day. Confederation is triumphant, and Joey is Premier.
Smallwood begins with his glory years in power when he decides to "drag Newfoundland kicking and screaming into the 20th century" by introducing a great industrialization scheme. In charge is his new Director of Economic Development, an ex-Nazi named Doctor Albert Valdmanis. Within two years Valdmanis is jailed for bilking industrial clients of $4 million, and Joey's dreams are in tatters. In the next 20 years he staggers from crisis to crisis, never managing to bring his new province to the prosperity it craves. Exhausted and dispirited, he considers retirement. But who will take over? Who will complete the dream? There is on one, so he will continue himself for another term. But his decision is challenged by young turks in his Liberal Party, "go now, or be kicked out". The old campaigner makes the classic political blunder - he will fight to stay on. He wins a new leadership race but the election is a tie, and he is finally outmaneuvered and forced to resign.
In a curtain speech, on another Christmas Eve, 90 years later, Smallwood sums it all up. At the heavenly gates St. Peter will ask not who you were, or what you became, but what you did. And he helped Canada fulfill its destiny and become a nation from sea to sea. Nat bad work for a little fellow from Gambo.
