I talk to a lot of designers. We're all different kinds of designers: visual, interaction, user experience, information, blah blah blah, but many of us take the same things for granted. Because of this, designers will probably be bored to tears by this post, while non-designers may learn something that can make it much easier to build products that people can use.
But first, a story. A designer friend of mine had a baby. She asked her husband to put up a note asking people to please not ring the doorbell, since the baby was sleeping. Later, after somebody rang the doorbell and the baby woke up and she was contemplating divorce, she wondered why her husband hadn't put up the damn note like she had asked.
The thing is, he HAD put up the note. He had put it right on the door at eye level so anybody could see it. What he hadn't done was associated the call to action with the actual action.
A big part of any user experience design is figuring out where to put stuff. This may sound obvious, but it's best to put stuff where people are most likely to use it. That means associating calls to action with the thing that is being acted upon.
Here's an example you may have considered. Where do you put a buy button on a page? Well, when a user is trying to decide whether or not to buy something, which pieces of information is the user most likely to need? He definitely needs to know how much he's paying for the item. He might need pictures of the item. He almost certainly needs to know the name of the item and perhaps a short description.
Considering those needs, the Buy button should probably go near those things on the page. It should even go in a defined visual area with just those things. Here's the hard part: it needs to go near those things EVEN IF IT LOOKS BETTER SOMEPLACE ELSE.
I'm all for having a nice visual design. I believe that a page should be balanced and pretty and have a reasonable amount of white space and all that. But if one element of your gorgeous visual design has separated your Buy button from the information that your user needs in order to decide to buy, then your gorgeous visual design is costing you more money than you think.
This isn't just true for Buy buttons; it's true any time the user has to make a decision. The call to action to make the decision must be visually associated with any information that the user needs to make that decision. Additionally, any information that is NOT related to the decision should be visually separate.
This also applies to things that aren't calls to action, of course. Related information should all be grouped together while unrelated information should be somewhere else. It's just that simple. Oh, and bonus points if you keep all similar items in the same place on every screen of your product so people always know where to look.
So, where should my friend's husband have put the note? He should have put it within inches of the doorbell itself. Why? Because the decision the user was making was whether or not to ring the doorbell. The husband needed to put the information about the sleeping baby right at the point where the user was making the decision, not in a completely different part of the interface (the door) where the user might or might not even notice it.
The next time you're deciding where something goes, remember, this strategy is not only important for creating a usable product, it just might save your marriage!

Professor Lino Briguglio is a Professor of Economics, internationally known for his work on islands and small states studies. He currently directs the Islands and Small States Institute  of the University of Malta. Formerly he was director of the University Gozo Campus and for a time also chaired  the Board of Trustees of the Small States Network for Economic Development, which was funded by the World Bank.  He was Head of the Economics Department and of the Banking and Finance Department at the University of Malta, as well at CEO of the Foundation for International Studies, located in Valletta, Malta.

Professor Briguglio was awarded a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Exeter (UK) in 1982 and an Honours and master's degree in Economics from the University of Malta (1972 and 1977). He obtained a Diploma in Social Studies from the University of Oxford (UK) in 1970.

Professor Briguglio has published a large number of studies on islands and small states, one of which is a seminal article on inherent economic vulnerabilities of small island states in World Development (September 1995). He has also developed written various papers on economic resilience, one of which was published in Oxford Development Studies (Sept 2009). He has also edited a series of four books on Vulnerability, Resilience and Competitiveness of Small States, published by the University of Malta in collaboration with the Commonwealth Secretariat, and two books on small states published by Routledge.

Professor Briguglio was a lead author for the Third, Fourth and Fifth Assessments Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), contributing mainly to the chapters on small islands' vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. The work of the IPCC, including the contributions of many scientists, was recognised by the joint award of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1999 at a meeting of the United Nations Environment Program's governing council, Briguglio stated that small countries "are vulnerable to forces outside their control."

At a symposium in early 2010 at the University of Malta, Briguglio said that disbelief in climate change is "ideological, difficult to change and often rooted in rightwing sources".

Professor Briguglio has acted as consultant to several international organisations including the UNDESA, UNEP, United Nations Development Program, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), World Bank, the Commonwealth Secretariat, SOPAC and CARICOM on matters related to the economies of small states. He has represented the Maltese government in many international conferences dealing with islands' and small states' affairs. He is a member of the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Appeals Tribunal.

He was a core member of the Malta EU Steering and Action Committee during the Malta's negotiations for EU membership

I am using madExcept 4.0.17 and when using the madExceptPatch on my development computer it works as expected.
Ignore the message "map file is already appended" as this binary was already patched properly.
As you can see, the message "Binary patched" does not appear and the exe is not patched. Exit code is 0 so it seems there was not an error.
I tried already different things to troubleshot it but I can't find the reason. Any ideas?
If Binary patches does not appear, then probably madExceptPatch didn't think it necessary to patch the binary, which probably means that it didn't think the madExcept settings file (*.mes) asked for that. Are you sure that the *.mes file is exactly the same on both PCs?
Yes, same mes file in both machines.
The strange thing is that if I copy the exe file generated in the second machine to my first machine I get the same issue: No "Binary patched" message so it seems Delphi is generating a different EXE in the second machine that can't be patched by madExceptPatch for some reason. I am using Delphi 2006 Update 2 in both machines.
The attachment is missing. Anyway, sounds like on your 2nd machine the madExcept code is not linked into your EXE file. Are you building inside of the IDE, or via command line? Please double check that "madExcept" is in the project's uses clause on the 2nd machine.

Pitching for Dough–It's a 5 Chapter Story Baby
By Glen Hellman, Dingman Center Board member and Dingman Center Angels investor from his blog "Forward Thinking: Driving Thoughtful Success"
You're a hot startup. You've got it going. You're a lean, mean, fighting machine team. You've got all the mojo, karma, and feng shui of the next Google. You've got everything but the cash required to put you over the finish line. So how do you get that cash?
Well you'll need to get your first date with an investor to get that cash. You'll need to present a plan that convinces that investor to appreciate your idea, your plan and your ability to execute and you're going to have to be able to pitch your story in just a few slides.
You have an audience with an investor group to give an 8 minute pitch. Your job is to generate enough interest in that meeting to motivate those investors to look under your company hood. This is your match.com moment and you are pitching for your first date.
You can go up there and present 8 minutes worth of slides or you can tell a story… a five chapter story that moves investors to action.
Here's the plan and I'm going to use an imaginary company that invented aspirin as an example.
Chapter 1: Market Pain (Place the audience in the shoes of the buyer and make them feel the pain.)
Chapter 2: Solution (After you hurt the audience rescue the with a solution.)
Chapter 3: Market Size (Let them know this problem is worth solving.)
Chapter 4: Why Invest In Us (Why can you be trusted to make this thing work?)
Chapter 5: What's in it For The Investor (What's the exit?)
So let me tell the story:
Chapter 1: Market Pain
"Imagine that your head hurt so bad that you couldn't see. You couldn't drive, go to work, care for your child." (Asking the audience to put themselves in the shoes of the target customer by using the "imagine that" term, personalizes the problem and is more impactful than simply addressing a large faceless demographic.)
Chapter 2: Solution
"Imagine that by taking just two small pills the pain could be erased in minutes. Imagine the impact on your life".
Chapter 3: Market Size
"There are 45 billion people in the United States with chronic headaches translating to over 1 billion headaches per year."
Chapter 4: Why Invest in Us
"This team has done this before. We've got the experience, the Rolodex and we're operating as a high-performance, functioning team."
"We've secured a cost-effective manufacturing capability to keep up with demand. Our Sales team has already developed key distribution agreements and we're in negotiations to expand sales to overseas markets"
"Today there are a myriad of competitors. From the people who hit themselves in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when they stop. No solution is as consistently effective and works as fast as Aspirin."
(Alternate Competitive Slide Format) There are times that the "Gartner Magic Quadrant" slide won't work for your company and in that case go with the checkbox.
Chapter 5: What's in it for the Investor?
"We've built a financial model based on our current distribution, manufacturing agreements and staffing projections. We'd welcome your critical review of our model."
"We're raising $5 million and believe that should take us to cash-flow positive so no further funding is anticipated."
"Based on recent M&A activity we believe that a $100 million dollar return for your investment is reasonable in the next 4 years."
So that's the plan and here are some tips on creating the slides.
Use graphics to express concepts over words when ever you can.
Try to limit slides to 5 bullets of no more than seven words.
Use images on word slides that evoke the meaning of your slide.
Ask yourself, do I need this slide, if I take it out of the presentation does it detract from my story? If the answer is no, get rid of it. Less is more.
Remember that you're not trying to close the deal, you're pitching for the next date. Leave some mystery. Give the audience enough information to want to learn more but leave them curious enough to come back for more.
Good Pitching!

Q: plpgsql expert : (set of record) input and output for a function I need some help with plpgsql function in postgres.
This question has been asked on psql-general without conclusive answer (here and here)
This boils down to this :
how to create a plpgsql function with a set of rows as input and a set of rows as output without using array (for performance).
I currently transmit input as the ref of a cursor but it is not satisfactory because it forces to compute twice the same query (SELECT ...hard_work...) AND it messes transactions in my application.
Currently it works like :
DECLARE cursor FOR ...hardwork...;

WITH first_query AS (
SELECT ...hard_work... --second computation of hard_work
   ),
second_query AS (
    SELECT ...another_query_using_hard_work...
   )
SELECT *
FROM my_function('cursor'::refcursor) f(...) ;

Ultimately I would like to have something like (not working)
WITH first_query AS (
    SELECT ...hard_work...
   ),
second_query AS (
    SELECT ...another_query_using_the_hard_work_query...
   )
SELECT *
FROM my_function('first_query'::regclass) f(...) ;

Of course SELECT ...hard_work... is expensive (around 50ms) and it would be better not to compute it twice.
The application is data streaming, so time is precious, and data are heavy, so copying data in temp table may be worse than computing twice (typically tens of MB ).
Other solutions were proposed

*

*transmitting a view or a table ref as input, which is the same problem as using a cursor (ie : twice the computing, separate statement)

*transmitting/outputting array : forces a lot of computing with array_agg() and unnest()

*transmitting a temp table : involves copying data: It might be longer than computing twice (I'm fighting for 50 ms)

*transmitting a materialized view : only available in 9.3
I would be very grateful to have an advanced insight on the subject.
Best Regards,
Rémi-C
PS : link to questions on psql-general mailing list contains a lots of details about specific and even all the code.
PPS : version : postgres 9.2 . OS : Ubuntu 12.04 LTE, client : PGAdmin3 for test, node.js for prod.

A: As far as I can see, you have not tried to use temporary tables, yet.
You can do this with a hardcoded name or even use dynamic names, possibly utilizing a SEQUENCE to get unique table names. You would then use dynamic SQL with EXECUTE inside a PL/pgSQL function and pass the table name (or even better: the object identifier type regclass) to it.
Be sure to run ANALYZE manually on bigger temporary tables right after major changes (usually after initially filling it), since temporary tables are not visible to the autovacuum daemon.
Possibly even create indices on big temp tables!
You can find many code example here on Stackoverflow. One particularly rich and loosely related answer:
Refactor a PL/pgSQL function to return the output of various SELECT queries

A: I think the typical way to solve some thing like this would be with a custom aggregate/function.  Then you can use whatever internal storage you want.  Each row gets passed in directly, transformed, and then processed later.

New insights into the remodelling of mitochondria
July 2019. Structural and functional studies reported this month in the journal Nature reveal the molecular basis of remodelling of the inner mitochondrial membrane by the protein complex Mgm1.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells and play a fundamental role in human health. Balanced fusion and fission are essential for the proper function and physiology of these important organelles.
Mitochondria possess two membranes. In humans and animals remodelling of the inner mitochondrial membrane is mediated by a protein complex called OPA1. The related protein complex Mgm1 takes on this role in yeasts and other fungi. Both Mgm1 and OPA1 exist in mitochondria in two forms: a membrane-integrated long form and a short form that is soluble in the intermembrane space.
Mutations in the OPA1 gene in humans are a common cause of autosomal dominant optic atrophy—a genetic disorder that affects the optic nerve. Mammalian cells that lack OPA1 and yeast strains that express temperature-sensitive versions of Mgm1 have fragmented mitochondria. This suggests that Mgm1 and OPA1 have an important role in inner-membrane fusion. Only the mitochondrial outer membrane — not the inner membrane — fuses in the absence of functional Mgm1.
Mgm1 and OPA1 have also been shown to maintain proper cristae architecture. For example, OPA1 prevents the release of pro-apoptotic factors by tightening crista junctions. And the short form of OPA1 localizes to mitochondrial constriction sites, where it presumably promotes mitochondrial fission. How Mgm1 and OPA1 perform their diverse functions in membrane fusion, scission and cristae organization is at present unknown.
A team of scientists led by Werner Kühlbrandt from the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt and Oliver Daumke from the Max-Delbrück-Centrum for Molecular Medicine in Berlin has solved the crystal and electron cryo-tomography structures of Mgm1 from the fungus C. thermophilum. The structural and functional studies they present in the journal Nature this month reveal the molecular basis of the assembly of Mgm1 into filaments, and provide models of how the rearrangements of these filaments induce remodelling of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Mgm1 consists of a GTPase (G) domain, a bundle signalling element domain, a stalk, and a paddle domain that contains a membrane-binding site. Biochemical and cell-based experiments demonstrated that the Mgm1 stalk mediates the assembly of bent tetramers into helical filaments. Their electron cryo-tomography studies of Mgm1-decorated lipid tubes and fluorescence microscopy experiments on reconstituted membrane tubes indicate how the tetramers assemble on positively or negatively curved membranes.

Вывод из эксплуатации энергоблоков АЭС после выработки проектного срока службы — естественный и необходимый этап их жизненного цикла. В соответствии с документом «ОПБ-88/97» (Общие положения обеспечения безопасности атомных станций), это означает проведение комплекса мероприятий, в результате которых после удаления ядерного топлива исключается использование блока в качестве энергоисточника.

К настоящему времени в мире остановлены и находятся в разных стадиях вывода из эксплуатации 138 энергоблоков АЭС, не считая экспериментальных, промышленных, исследовательских и транспортных реакторов.

Мировой опыт показывает, что это требует значительных интеллектуальных, материальных затрат и тщательного планирования. Необходимо разработать специальную нормативно-правовую базу, создать инфраструктуру для решения этой системной проблемы, требующей инновационных инженерных решений. И, наконец, необходим хорошо организованный высококвалифицированный персонал.

В России
На момент распада СССР в стадии окончательно остановленных энергетических реакторов числились два блока Нововоронежской и два блока Белоярской АЭС. В 2002 году был заглушен единственный реактор первой в мире Обнинской АЭС. В 2008 году были остановлены промышленные реакторы Сибирской АЭС, попутно вырабатывавшие электроэнергию. В 2016 году выведен из эксплуатации третий энергоблок Нововоронежской АЭС, а в 2018 году первый энергоблок Ленинградской АЭС.

Из остановленных реакторов выгружается отработавшее ядерное топливо, объекты консервируются с соблюдением мер ядерной и радиационной безопасности. Сроки окончательного демонтажа облученного оборудования еще не определены. Выдержка облученного оборудования после остановки уменьшит его радиационный фон и позволит снизить уровень сложности работ и дозовые нагрузки на персонал при демонтаже.

Очевидно, что при выводе из эксплуатации должно уделяться самое серьёзное внимание безопасности персонала, населения, природной среды. Потребуется обеспечить смягчение негативных социальных последствий, связанных с потерей рабочих мест в городах-спутниках АЭС. Эти города с населением от 30 до 70 тыс. жителей социально и экономически уязвимы. Их жизненная инфраструктура жёстко завязана на работающий атомный объект. Отсутствуют альтернативные рабочие места. Часть таких городов — закрытые или полузакрытые территориальные образования.

Наиболее успешно задача вывода из эксплуатации старых энергоблоков может быть решена, если в этом процессе участвуют представители различных социальных групп — власти всех уровней, атомные эксперты, а также профсоюзы и заинтересованная общественность. Такой подход оправдан хотя бы потому, что выбор площадки для временного хранилища или окончательного захоронения радиоактивных отходов (РАО) часто затруднен именно из-за протестов местного населения.

В 2017 году Росэнергоатом принял решение об изменении концепции демонтажа АЭС. Если ранее Концерном использовался принцип «отложенного демонтажа» (энергоблоки останавливаются, но не демонтируются, остаются под наблюдением на несколько десятков лет, соответственно ликвидация объекта длится вплоть до 70 лет), то приоритетом теперь становится «немедленный демонтаж». Принцип «немедленного демонтажа» подразумевает около 5 лет подготовки к ликвидации объекта и примерно 15 лет самого процесса ликвидации. Эта практика позволяет экономить на ликвидации энергоблоков АЭС до 20 % по сравнению с «отложенным демонтажем». Такая стратегия демонтажа позволяет использовать ресурсы оставшегося оборудования и конструкций энергоблоков, которые остановлены.

Пилотным проектом по «немедленному демонтажу» выбрана Нововоронежская АЭС (пилот должен закончиться в 2035 году). Также по этому принципу будут выводиться из эксплуатации энергоблоки Ленинградской АЭС и Белоярской АЭС.

В дальнейшем, опыт «немедленного демонтажа» АЭС планируется использовать на международном рынке.

Согласно дорожной карте Концерна Росэнергоатом, в 2021—2026 году должны быть выведены из эксплуатации следующие энергоблоки:

 энергоблок № 2 Ленинградской АЭС, реактор РБМК-1000 (2020 год)
 энергоблок № 1 Курской АЭС, реактор РБМК-1000 (2021 год)
 энергоблоки №№ 2-4 Билибинской АЭС, реактор ЭГП-12 (2022 год)
 энергоблок № 2 Курской АЭС, реактор РБМК-1000 (2024 год)
 энергоблок № 3 Ленинградской АЭС, реактор РБМК-1000 (2025 год)
 энергоблок № 4 Ленинградской АЭС, реактор РБМК-1000 (2026 год).

Ситуация вокруг Балтийского моря
Балтика относится к особо уязвимым морским экосистемам и нуждается в международной координации усилий для сохранения воспроизводства среды обитания.

К настоящему времени на юге и западе Балтийского региона выводятся из эксплуатации 9 энергоблоков на АЭС Германии, Швеции и Литвы.

Своевременный и безопасный вывод из эксплуатации Кольской и Ленинградской АЭС, важен не только для России, но и для сопредельных стран. Известно, что Балтика является самым радиоактивно загрязненным морем в мире. Это результат использования ядерных технологий.

Но из-за того, что Кольская и Ленинградская АЭС вырабатывают 40 % суммарной мощности ОЭС «Северо — Запад», причём только Ленинградская АЭС вырабатывает более 50 % суммарной мощности «Ленэнерго», вывод этих станций из эксплуатации не представляется возможным. Поэтому ресурс их энергоблоков продлён, а рядом с Ленинградской АЭС уже ведётся строительство новых мощностей: первого и второго энергоблоков ЛАЭС-2 нового типа ВВЭР-1200 (Проект АЭС 2006).

Полноценное развитие Северо-западного региона во многом зависит от обеспечения его достаточным количеством энергии. В ближайшем будущем не представляется возможным строительство новых заводов (в том числе алюминиевых и других энергозависимых производств) без увеличения объёма выработки энергии атомными станциями.

Возможно, по выработке своего продлённого срока эксплуатации, энергоблоки ЛАЭС, как и Кольской АЭС будут всё же выведены из эксплуатации.

Продление сроков эксплуатации энергоблоков
Строительство нового энергоблока стоит не менее 1.5 млрд долларов, а продление срока эксплуатации обходится примерно в 64 млн вместе с КПР энергоблока. Ещё любопытно, что американцы уже рассматривают возможность продления срока службы атомных энергоблоков до 80 лет. В Российской Федерации пока такие проекты не афишировались, но опыт многолетней эксплуатации показывает, что ресурс станций позволяет рассматривать и такие сроки продления сроков эксплуатации. Первоначальные сроки эксплуатации 30 лет были взяты из отраслевых стандартов тепловых станций, без учёта ресурса реактора, по наименее слабому не заменяемому агрегату.

Срок эксплуатации энергоблоков с новыми реакторами ВВЭР-1000, ВВЭР-1200 и ВВЭР-ТОИ (все — проект АЭС-2006), увеличен с 30 лет до 60 лет. При этом, с учетом продления сроков эксплуатации этих энергоблоков, общий период их работы может достигать 100 лет. По словам президента Курчатовского института Михаила Ковальчука, АЭС нового типа делаются из материалов, срок службы которых — 80-100 лет.

Если развивать атомную энергетическую отрасль такими темпами, какими это происходит сейчас, к 2031 году будет дефицит энергии 1-2 % (по заявлению В. В. Путина на пресс-конференции в 2009 году), поэтому к 2013 году уже проведено продление сроков эксплуатации:
 энергоблоков № 1 и № 2 Курской АЭС до 2021 и 2024 гг. соответственно
 энергоблоков № 3 и № 4 Ленинградской АЭС до 2024 и 2025 гг. соответственно
 всех 4-х энергоблоков Кольской АЭС до 2018—2029 гг.
 энергоблоков № 1 и № 2 Смоленской АЭС до 2027 и 2030 гг. соответственно
 энергоблоков № 1 и № 2 Калининской АЭС до 2029 и 2031 гг. соответственно
 энергоблока № 5 Нововоронежской АЭС до 2035 года

В 2018 году окончены работы по продлению срока эксплуатации энергоблоков Балаковской, № 4 Нововоронежской, № 1 Кольской АЭС. Идет оценка возможности, безопасности и экономической целесообразности продления срока энергоблока № 3 Белоярской АЭС, а также проведено комплексное обследование систем и элементов энергоблоков №№ 2-4 Билибинской АЭС на предмет оценки ресурсных характеристик оборудования.

На начало 2019 года к продлению сроков эксплуатации предполагаются следующие станции:
 энергоблок № 4 Балаковской АЭС до 2053 года
 энергоблок № 3 Смоленской АЭС до 2034 года
 энергоблок № 2 Кольской АЭС до 2034 года (повторное продление, первое действовало до 2019 года).

В Концерне Росэнергоатом принята «Программа продления срока эксплуатации действующих энергоблоков АЭС на 2013—2023 годы». На конец 2018 года в России работало 27 ядерных энергоблоков с продленным сроком эксплуатации.

As I've mentioned before, calçots are one of the true seasonal delights of living in this part of the world.
A common sight at the front of many fruit and vegetable shops in Tortosa right now.
When people ask me what I do here, my standard response is "Soy investigadora, en el Centro de Cambio Climatic". Most people take this to mean that I work with the political and economic solutions required to solve the diabolical problem of climate change (which they then quiz me about), but sadly this is not true.
I work with old weather.
Yep, old numbers. Historical weather observations taken up to 250 years ago. I find them, digitise them, and check them to see how reliable they are.
When I occasionally manage to explain this in my basic Spanish, people generally look disappointed, confused, and then they slink away.
Recovering old weather data is not at the "coal face" of climate change research (haha, pun), and many people may think that it's not really important for helping us figure out how we are going to manage the future.
Today is the anniversary of the First Fleet's arrival in Sydney Cove, only 228 years ago. A defining moment, certainly, although more and more people agree that the 26th of January is not the right day to honour all things Australian.

This post is a week late because of a long weekend and a cold. Delivering something a bit later than planned is also an extremely Catalan experience (particularly when it comes to trains), so I think it's sort of appropriate.
We have officially been here for a year now. Isn't that crazy? It certainly doesn't feel like a year to me, although looking back at the blog posts, photos and town maps that we have accumulated in the past 12 months the number of adventures we've had makes it easy to think that we have actually been here for longer.
As I have alluded to in the past, the process of obtaining our visas to come to Tortosa was an incredible comedy of administrative hell. The twists and turns, the soaring highs and bone-crushing lows, were nothing short of a Game of Thrones saga (although obviously without quite so much blood).
Responsible research, sustainable science, aware academia. No matter which alliteration you choose, considering the environmental impact of your research sounds a bit meaningless, like dynamic synergy.
b) climate scientists will be more well respected if we lead by example. Wouldn't you have less faith in your doctor if she was a smoker, or put less trust in your architect if he lived in a ugly house?
When I was at school, I would always take home what I now realise was 'optimistic homework'. Two text books, two binders, my pencil case, the novel we were reading in English, three notebooks, my diary, and my calculator. You know, just in case. It was lucky for me that large, surfing brand backpacks were cool when I was at high school, because mine was chock-a-block on the bus almost every day, full of tasks that I 'might', but generally didn't, complete.
During my PhD, I did all of my work on a laptop. It was connected to a large monitor most days (I'm not a complete posture masochist) but again it meant that almost every night I would ride home with my Mac Book Pro on my back, full of intentions to work. Inevitably, I would then drag it back again the next day having not opened it at all.
Meetings are important. Particularly for student/supervisor and boss/employee communications, but also for any sort of team work, one face to face chat is generally worth a thousand emails. Some people have too many, and some people have enough, but I think we can all agree that across the board of professions out there, knowing how to attend a meeting is a fairly necessary skill.
So why is it that the meeting I attended last week was a display of some of the least professional behaviour I have ever seen? The attendees were professionals: scientists, managers, leaders and actual grown-up adults. And yet, the level of attention paid was similar at times to that of primary schools students. Email checking, texting, leaving the room frequently, having secondary conversations with other attendees, farting loudly… ok, maybe no loud farting, but everything else was definitely there.

The Arch Justices are the highest authority in any province of the Magimundi, and when assembled they constitute the Council of Five. Arch Justices may issue edicts in their provinces, and overrule the decisions made by Justices in their province.
The Arch Justices of each Province have risen to that position from a combination of wealth, status, and magical power, and hold those positions for life. They are styled as Judges, but one where the cases they decide become the law of the Province. There is no legislative body. All government authority is delegated directly from the Arch Justice, who has no real check against their power. Provincial Law is limited to that province, with the exception of edicts from the Council of Five which apply across all provinces and require unanimous support from the Council of Five.

The Rise and Fall of the La Reunion Dallas Utopia
By Peter Simek 5.20.20
Dreams of the perfect society have taken many forms over the course of human history. One of those dreams took the form of a small colony in present-day Oak Cliff.
The mid-19th century was a time of tremendous upheaval in Europe. In 1848, revolutions broke out as pushes for democratic reform clashed with entrenched aristocratic powers. A side effect of these wars and rebellions was the emergence of new ideas about how human society should work and function.
A French thinker named Charles Fourier envisioned a new, more equitable type of society, one in which communities worked together and held possessions in kind. His philosophy was more than just a theoretical thought experiment. Fourier's ideas inspired a much-forgotten social movement that led to the establishment of a number of "utopian" settlements throughout North America. And one of the most prominent efforts was in Texas: the La Reunion utopia.
A History Journal for Dallas and North Central Texas
Arrival in Texas
Stories of Texas' wide-open landscapes, untouched natural beauty, and free land inspired many European immigrants to cross the ocean to begin a new life in the New World.
While many Germans, Czechs, and others set up small farming communities that mimicked their old way of life, in 1855, a colony of French, Swiss, and Belgian settlers arrived at a large tract of land alongside the Trinity River, across from a fledgling town named Dallas. They were to embark upon a much more radical living experiment. Although the colony they founded, called La Reunion, only lasted around 18 months, its impact on Texas history far outlasted that.
A Common Purpose
The group of Europeans had formed around Victor Considérant, a prominent writer and follower of Fourier who was exiled to Belgium after France's 1848 revolution. From Belgium, he recruited settlers and donors for a new Fourier community. In 1852 and 1853, Considérant visited Texas and was struck by its beauty, climate, and the possibility of amassing a large quantity of land for little or no cost. When he returned to Belgium, he wrote Au Texas, a book that laid out his vision for a Fourier-inspired colony in Texas. The book convinced many people to join the effort.
Collections of the Dallas Historical Society
At first, Considérant hoped to obtain a recently decommissioned army outpost called Fort Worth as the base of his colony, but when his agents arrived in Texas in early 1855 to secure the land, they found that a rough-and-tumble frontier town had already sprung up around the old army fort.
In fact, in the two years Considérant had dawdled between his visit and his attempt to acquire land, much of the promised free land grants had already been gobbled up. As settlement increased, land values rose, and Considérant had difficulty finding a tract large enough for the colony. Lands to the stable east were spoken for, while open lands to the west were still subject to Comanche and Apache raids.
Dallas Historical Society
Finding Eden
Considérant's agents finally found a spot in the upper reaches of the Trinity River. The land seemed to possess everything that had attracted Considérant to Texas: fresh springs, woodlands and meadows, decent farmland, access to fish in the river, and a large bluff overlooking the flood plain that would serve as a secure site for a new town. The men began working on laying the groundwork for the new settlement and waited for the settlers from the Old World to cross the ocean and travel up from Galveston to join their effort.
Doomed from the Start
La Reunion faced challenges from the very outset. The first settlers arrived in May, which they soon discovered was too late in the growing season to establish a new crop. Considérant had recruited colonists — the wealthy and the intelligentsia — who could donate to the cause and who shared his vision, but in its early days, life in La Reunion required difficult manual labor. New buildings needed to be erected and fields plowed for the vines, fruit trees, and other European crops they hoped to plant in Texas soil. Still, the colonist managed to establish a foothold, and by the fall of 1855, colony leaders reported that their lands could support upward of 300 settlers.
The greater challenge was internal disagreements about leadership and the direction of the colony's future. When Considérant joined the settlers in Texas, he was disappointed with the location and began quietly plotting to establish a new utopia west of San Antonio. This upset the men who had worked so hard to get La Reunion going. Then, in May 1856, a freak ice storm struck North Texas, devastating the colony's crops. By summer, the French utopians began returning to France or moving to nearby Dallas to put down roots.

A Lasting Influence
While La Reunion didn't survive, it has had a lasting impact on the growth and development of Dallas. The socialist experiment brought doctors, architects, botanists, and other well-educated individuals to the little trading outpost, and many of these men helped establish some of Dallas' earliest institutions. They sat on school boards, designed some of the city's first tall buildings, and pioneered the study of Texas plants and archaeology. One of the settlers, Benjamin Long, served as mayor for two terms.
Dallas was still a rough-and-tumble place in the 1850s, but La Reunion seemed to elevate the city's aspirations for itself. It helped turn the frontier trading post into a town with its own dreams of grandeur, sophistication, and ambition.

Reopening updatesUKNorthern Ireland
Ireland permits travel between counties from 18 Dec
Ireland will allow shops, restaurants, gyms and pubs serving food to reopen next week and permit travel between counties from 18 December, to facilitate a 'different but special' Christmas, Prime Minister Micheal Martin said.
Ireland became one of first European countries to reimpose tough Covid-19 constraints six weeks ago when the government shut non-essential retail and limited pubs and restaurants to takeaway service under its highest level of restrictions.
From 1 December, however, the economy will begin to be one of the most open across Europe after a sharp cut in the 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 people to below 100, behind only Finland and Iceland across the continent.
"We now have the opportunity to enjoy a different, but special Christmas. We can be with our loved ones and remember those we've lost. We will come through this together," he said in a televised address.
Martin made his announcement the day the entire hospitality sector and non-essential retail in British-run Northern Ireland closed for two weeks, potentially leading to a rush of cross-border Christmas shopping.
People can welcome up to two other households into their homes between 18 December and 6 January.

Sauber Technologies and Additive Industries extend partnership
Working with Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN and third party customers to push boundaries in metal AM
3D Printing Media NetworkJune 29, 2022
Sauber Technologies has extended its technology partnership with metal additive manufacturing leader, Additive Industries for a further three years. Sauber Technologies has been using Additive Industries' MetalFAB platform for metal additive manufacturing (AM) since 2017, with a current count of four systems in-house as the company embarks on new, ambitious projects for third-party customers. Sauber Technologies is also part of the same group as Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN.
This summer, Sauber Technologies and Additive Industries will celebrate the fifth anniversary of their long-term strategic partnership: with the focus of both parties on productivity, part reproducibility and industrial series production, they are eager to keep pushing boundaries in metal AM to manufacture light-weight components for the automotive, industrial and tooling industries.
Christoph Hansen, COO of Sauber Technologies: "Over the course of our successful partnership, Additive Industries have become an essential ingredient in the offering of Sauber Technologies. Ever since we introduced the MetalFAB systems to our processes, our in-house capabilities have increased in a significant way: Additive Industries continues to provide us with the best way to manufacture the most advanced parts for our motorsport operations, as well as our growing cohort of customers, reducing lead times, costs and waste while pushing forward the boundaries of technology."
From the start of the collaboration, Additive Industries has enabled the professionals of Sauber Technologies to accelerate in the metal additive manufacturing domain. The investment in the MetalFAB systems – with its unique open parameters – allowed Sauber to reduce cycle times in the manufacturing of innovative parts for its own wind tunnel models, Formula One race cars as well as third-party business.
Additive Industries is dedicated to bringing metal additive manufacturing for functional parts from 'lab to fab' by offering a modular 3D printing system, MetalFAB1, and a seamlessly integrated information platform, Additive World Platform, to high-end and demanding industrial markets. With substantially improved reproducibility, productivity, and flexibility, Additive Industries redefined the business case for series production of metal additive manufacturing applications in aerospace, automotive, medical technology and high-tech equipment.
These features are of great importance to Sauber Technologies, as the company focuses fully on third-party business, providing a holistic service for complex engineering problems, from the idea stage to the finished products. The company can draw on the experience of its dedicated, highly skilled staff and from the know-how generated in fifty years of history in motorsport.
Mark Massey, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Additive Industries: "We are very proud to be constantly recognized by Sauber Technologies for our class-leading automated industrial metal additive manufacturing solutions. We encourage each other to push our boundaries and to innovate. We are committed to continuing our long-term partnership, grow and evolve in the coming years."

SOSNA V. IOWA, 419 U. S. 393 (1975)
Sosna v. Iowa, 419 U.S. 393 (1975)
Sosna v. Iowa
No. 73-762
Appellant's petition for divorce was dismissed by an Iowa trial court for lack of jurisdiction because she failed to meet the Iowa statutory requirement that a petitioner in a divorce action be a resident of the State for one year preceding the filing of the petition. Appellant then brought a class action under Fed.Rule Civ.Proc. 23 in the Federal District Court against appellees State and state trial judge, asserting that Iowa's durational residency requirement violated the Federal Constitution on equal protection and due process grounds and seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. After certifying that appellant represented the class of persons residing in Iowa for less than a year who desired to initiate divorce actions, the three-judge District Court upheld the constitutionality of the statute.
1. The fact that appellant had long since satisfied the durational residency requirement by the time the case reached this Court does not moot the case, since the controversy remains very much alive for the class of unnamed persons whom she represents and who, upon certification of the class action, acquired a legal status separate from her asserted interest. Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U. S. 330. Pp. 419 U. S. 397-403.
(a) Where, as here, the issue sought to be litigated escapes full appellate review at the behest of any single challenger, the case does not inexorably become moot by the intervening resolution of the controversy as to the named plaintiffs. P. 419 U. S. 401.
(b) At the time the class action was certified, appellant demonstrated a "real and immediate" threat of injury and belonged to the class that she sought to represent. Pp. 419 U. S. 402-403.
(c) The test of Rule 23(a) that the named representative in a class action "fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class," is met here, where it is unlikely that segments of the class represented would have interests conflicting with appellant's, and the interests of the class have been competently urged at each level of the proceeding. P. 419 U. S. 403. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
2. The Iowa durational residency requirement for divorce is not unconstitutional. Pp. 419 U. S. 404-410.
(a) Such requirement is not unconstitutional on the alleged ground that it establishes two classes of persons and discriminates against those who have recently exercised their right to travel to Iowa. Appellant was not irretrievably foreclosed from obtaining some part of what she sought, and such requirement may reasonably be justified on grounds of the State's interest in requiring those seeking a divorce from its courts to be genuinely attached to the State, as well as of the State's desire to insulate its divorce decrees from the likelihood of successful collateral attack. Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U. S. 618; Dunn, supra; Memorial Hospital v. Maricopa County, 415 U. S. 250, distinguished. Pp. 419 U. S. 406-409.
(b) Nor does the durational residency requirement violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment on the asserted ground that it denies a litigant the opportunity to make an individualized showing of bona fide residence, and thus bars access to the divorce courts. Even if appellant could make an individualized showing of physical presence plus the intent to remain, she would not be entitled to a divorce, for Iowa requires not merely "domicile" in that sense, but residence in the State for one year. See Vlandis v. Kline, 412 U. S. 441, 412 U. S. 452. Moreover, no total deprivation of access to divorce courts, but only delay in such access, is involved here. Boddie v. Connecticut, 401 U. S. 371, distinguished. Pp. 419 U. S. 409-410.
360 F.Supp. 1182, affirmed.

Do you have some problem reading for yourself?
After you've read through it, make your point, and then I'll respond.
Just read through it, don't recall any names or footage with regards to the claims below.
On-duty cops defending the Capitol building told BuzzFeed that some of the rioters showed them their police badges.
"[One guy] pulled out his badge and he said, 'We're doing this for you.' Another guy had his badge. So I was like, 'well, you gotta be kidding.'"
Black Capitol Police Officers Describe The Racism They Faced (buzzfeednews.com)
Several off-duty cops identified as being present are under investigation regarding whether or not they took part in the riots. Some of them may be the aforementioned ones that showed their badges to on-duty cops.
Regarding the cops being investigated/suspended pending investigation, some were named, and others were not.
- In Zelienople, Pennsylvania; police are reviewing whether or not one of their officers, Timothy Goldie, acted unlawfully during the D.C. unrest.
- The Seattle Police Department recently announced that two of its officers had been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into their alleged participation in the insurrection
Though it doesnt really make a difference when 1.) they're still under investigation, and/or 2.) it's their respective police department announcing this.
As for the on-duty cops that say they saw police badges, it is very easy for a news publication to verify whether the people they interview are in fact employed as law enforcement.
Unfortunately, cops snitching on other cops doesn't usually pan out very well. So them not having their name publicized in the newspaper is pretty standard proceedure.
We also have a retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel, Larry Rendell Brock, arrested by the FBI after being caught on camera inside the building:

And a GOP lawmaker was arrested as well after livestreaming himself on Facebook:

And the woman that was shot and killed was former air-force.
One cop in there were taking selfies with the rioters.

So off-duty cops seems pretty expected at this point.

You know what is scary and kind of impressive at the same time. All the arrests across the country.
Just shows how much the American government agencies knows about you and your identity.
In Australia we can't even find a criminal on CCTV footage without people calling in to identify them lol.

FBI said they've recieved over 120 000 pictures/videos (that's on top of what they've been able to find themselves), and a lot of people have been identified because people called in to ID them.
The former U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel I posted about above was identified by his ex-wife.
An 18 year old spotted her mom, aunt and uncle, and reported them:
Why this teenager publicly ID'd her family at D.C's pro-Trump protests | CBC Radio
The reason so many are easy to identify is probably mainly because so few of them were wearing masks. So law enforcement interview the ones they know, and ask them to give up the names of other people that were there, and so on.

Apparently there are now 15'000 heavily armed men guarding the inauguration ceremony.
Given that almost 50% of Americans voted for Trump, we can roughly guess:
Let's assume 30% of those guards are Trumpists, so 4500 Minitrumps.
Let's assume that only 0.5% of those are Trumpnutjobs.
That makes roughly 20 heavily armed nutjobs at the ceremony.
Now if I were the guy organising the event,I wouldn't worry too much about the nutjobs trying to come to DC for the event, I'd rather worry about the nutjobs already here...

Add to that a disturbing amount of messages posted on fringe far right social media groups, planning to assassinate these politicians on Jan 6, and I'd like to know how you're so confident that these things didn't happen.
Clearly, these are all antifas pretending to be Trump supporters.
None of this proves they were out to kill anyone. You have over a 100 mill trump supporters, many who feel theyhave been screwed over. I'm sure there are many. Hardcore supporters, yet no one has taken arms and gone to the streets guns firing. No terrorist attacks, in any of the 52 states. Where is this fanatic outrage in the streets?? Their hero and the president , leader has called foul play and yet no riots in the streets.
What about the 5 that died in the protest? Not a single tear was shed or ounce of care was given. So much for this idea of a united states and united people, or a president for the people. The realitiy is everyone is out for themselves, no one really cares for that other person, his or her history and what they have contributed to the country. A human is no more than something this is dispensable. As long as you belong in the same camp is all that matters.

There were armed people, riots and terrorist attacks at the Capitol Building.
They don't get props for not discharging a gun when A.) they failed to get a hold of their targets, and B.) everyone that crossed their path was armed law enforcement.

I've seen false evidence been used in the past and be disproved later, so i'm not going to be as easily mislead by the media like most people, who like sheep follow and believe everything they are shown all the time. And apparently in the usa you have a right to bear arms or something like that, so it doesn't mean they went in with intent to shoot. In fact on one did any shooting but the cops, even on those turned away from them.

Youtube randomly suggested this video of a news story where two Rocky Mountain police officers were picked up for participating in the riot. Or are you asking something more specific than just "were there off-duty police confirmed to be among the rioters?
It's possible these two officers are the ones described in the BuzzFeed article but the picture shown in your YouTube video doesn't show any rioting. It's a picture of them posing before a statue that isn't being toppled: does this qualify them being rioters?
Why is it so hard to believe for you that some of the thousands of racist and violent cops all over the country would join a violent and racist mob to overthrow people who want to stop them from being violent and racist?
