This tutorial will show you how to build an Internet controlled robot with a live video stream to a custom site hosted by the ESP32 Thing. With a little hacking you can customize the robot to create your own pan/tilt camera or even a Nerf Sentry Gun that can be remotely controlled!
This project is based around the Shadow Chassis, which is controlled by the ESP32 Thing and the Serial Controlled Motor Driver.
Power supply voltage: Ideally the camera can be powered from USB, so that the ESP32 and camera can share the same 5V rail.
2.4GHz WiFi connection: So that the ESP32 and camera can share the same network.
Framerate: Higher is better. The best I was able to find was 30 frames per second, but due to real world conditions, expect it to be around half of what is outlined in the technical details.
Accessible with an HTTP link: For this you'll have to do some googling, but if you type in the manufacturer and model number followed by "URL" (e.g. "Wansview 1080p URL") you should find a link that will show you what to put in the address bar of your browser to view the video stream. We'll discuss how to use that URL in the camera testing section.
Before starting this project, there may be a few subjects you'll want to be familiar with before starting this project.
All that's needed for this tutorial is assembling the chassis and mounting the motors.
It's good practice to do a few sanity checks as you put this together.
Warning: Connecting the battery voltage to the 5V rail will break the ESP32 Thing and might break your camera.
Start with the battery connections and build up to the 5V DC/DC converter. Once the DC/DC converter is in place, measure the output voltage and make sure you're seeing close to 5V.
Power is supplied from the 7.4V (2-Cell) Lipo battery. Running Lipo batteries down below a safe voltage (3V per cell, or 6V in this case) can cause damage to the battery which can cause it to fail or shorten the life of the battery. To make sure we don't run our battery flat, we'll use a panel voltmeter to monitor the battery's voltage. At 6V, the battery is considered flat, and needs to be recharged. According to the DC/DC converter's datasheet, the regulator has an input voltage range of 7-28VDC, but in my testing the regulator will work as low as 6.5V. Below this input voltage, the regulator will output 0VDC, so you will need to change the battery when the output voltage drops below 6.5V.
The raw battery voltage is also directly fed into the Serial Controlled Motor Driver (SCMD), which can handle up to 11V to drive the motors. The SCMD can run off 5V, but with a lower voltage the motors will draw less current, which will extend battery life, but have less torque and move slower.
To power the ESP32 Thing, Motion Shield, and Camera, we'll need to regulate the battery's voltage down to 5V. To do that we'll use a 5V DC/DC converter which has 3-pins: VIN, GND, VOUT (see pinout above). VIN is the battery voltage which should be between 6 and 8.4V, VOUT is 5.0V, and GND is GND. The DC/DC converter is recommended over a standard LM7805, because it is more efficient than a linear regulator and extends the battery life. With a linear regulator the wasted power is converted to heat, and with the ESP32 and camera drawing around 500mA of current, a linear regulator (such as the LM7805) would be hot to the touch.
If you haven't uploaded code to an ESP32 before, check out the hookup guide to learn how to program the ESP32 Thing in Arduino.
* to see how the motors respond based on the commands we send.
Pay attention the messages stating which command was sent, and verify that what was sent reflects what happened. If nothing moves, make sure you have power connected correctly and your motors are connected to the SCMD, and that you set the baud rate to 9600 in your Arduino sketch (not just in the terminal window). If one (or both) motors spins in the opposite direction than it should, you can fix it by swapping the motor connections to the SCMD.
Another option is to correct it in software. If the forward command was sent but motor0 spins in reverse, replace M0F50\r\n with M0R50\r\n. Another possibility is if the forward/reverse commands work, but the left/right commands are backwards, swap the M0 and M1 in the left and right command blocks. If you need to make changes in the software, remember which ones need to be changed when we add code to the final example.
Note: You'll need to replace the * for the SSID and password with the name of your WiFi network and it's password. If you modified the motor commands from the previous example to work with your motor wiring, you'll need to apply those changes in the `handleMotors()` function as well.
*  to control the motors.
*  number and/or motor direction in the handleMotors() function.
The Arduino code doesn't include any of the HTML code that your browser needs to display the web page. For that we'll need to load the HTML file on to a microSD card. You could also directly load the HTML code into the handleRoot() function, but by keeping the HTML code on a microSD card, we can eject the SD card and change the code, faster than it would take to recompile the ESP32 code and re-upload it to the board.
If you only see "...", it means that it's not connecting to your WiFi network. Make sure the SSID and password is correct. If the SD card failed to initialize, it could be that you forgot to plug in the SD card, or it could be that the chip select pin is incorrect. For the Motion Shield it should be GPIO pin 33.
From this page, when you press the arrow keys you should see the motors respond. As you press the arrow keys, check to make sure the motors respond correctly to the arrow keys. If not, you'll need to modify the code in the handleMotors() function to move forward when the up arrow key is pressed, reverse when the down arrow key is pressed, and so on.
As mentioned at the end of the Introduction, you'll need to source your own WiFi camera, which makes it difficult to show you how to get image or video data from your camera into a web page, because each manufacturer will do things differently. To get started, you'll need to do some googling. Search for the manufacturer's name and the camera's model number followed by "URL" (e.g. "Wansview 1080p URL"), and you should find a link that will show you what to put in the address bar of your browser to view the video stream.
snapshot (takes a photo of what the camera can see): "http://[IP ADDRESS]:[PORT]/mjpeg/snap.cgi?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]".
The first URL provides the video stream using the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). If you have a video player (such as VLC) installed on your computer, you can open a network stream with the RTSP link and fill in the specific information of your camera (IP address, port number, user name and password) to view the video stream.
Now that the wiring works, the motors can be controlled from a web page, and we know the URL for our camera works, we can finally put it all together. All we need to do is eject the microSD card from our Motion Shield and change the HTML code on our computer.
This tutorial is based on a blog post from a few weeks back. Check it out!
Because this project is Open Source, you can expand on this project and make it your own. By adding port forwarding to your router, you could make the robot accessible from anywhere in the world if you have an Internet connection. Or maybe you want to replace the motors with servos to create your own pan/tilt camera, or even a nerf gun for a remote controlled sentry!
Or if you're looking for another project to put your ESP8266/ESP32 to work, check out some of our other great tutorials!


The total number of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) cases has decreased gradually at an average rate of 2.1% per annum in the past decade. The number of cases fell from nearly 290 000 as at the end of 2007 to about 230 000 as at the end of 2017. Larger extents of decrease were noted in low-earnings cases (-12.8%) and unemployment cases (-9.0%). There were 336 681 CSSA recipients as at the end of 2017, representing a drop of 32.2% when compared with that as at the end of 2007. This article describes the major changes in the number of CSSA cases and recipients during the period from 2007 to 2017.

Rabat – The citizens of Paris, France, witnessed a spectacular scene Saturday night. A Malian man saved a 4-year-old child suspended from a balcony. His spontaneous act was filmed and has been seen millions of times on social networks.
Amazed passersby saw Mamoudou Gassama climbing up what appears to be four stories with his bare hands, and in approximately 30 seconds reaching the child, who was suspended over a balcony, holding on with his hands.
"I saw a lot of people screaming, and cars honking," explained the man who has been presented as a hero by many media outlets. "I went out, I ran to look at the solutions to save him, I managed to catch the balcony, I climbed like this and thank God I saved him." The incident happened in the eighteenth arrondissement around 8 p.m.
The child's father was taken into custody as part of an open investigation into neglect of parental responsibility in a case assigned to the juvenile protection brigade.
Gassama's actions did not go unnoticed by French President Emmanuel Macron, who invited the hero on Monday to become a "naturalized Frenchman" and to work for the fire department, according to AFP.

Regina King is an irrefutable powerhouse. The actress and director has brought a number of roles to life including Dana in the film Friday, Latrice Butler in Seven Seconds, as well as Huey and Riley in The Boondocks. Her performances have garnered her countless awards and critical acclaim, and her career continues to inspire other young actors. During her sit down interview with BuzzFeed News' Profile, the actress revealed that her journey has been full of hardship, hardships that have made her learn, and grow. Speaking to the show's host Audie Cornish, the actress addressed her role in If Beale Street Could Talk, and gave viewers some insight into what it takes to succeed in Hollywood.


I am just over halfway through my internship at Reading Museum, and I'm really enjoying the experience so far. Having always loved history, and particularly the way that objects are able to bring it to life, I am hoping to make my career in museums, and the experience I have gained at Reading has been invaluable.
My main role is helping Sophie, Project Officer, with the digitization of the Berkshire Chronicle collection. As Sophie mentioned in her previous post, she has selected over 2000 images highlighting key themes in the collection, and we have spent the last month scanning these and adding the images to our internal database. This in itself has been valuable for the museum, as now these photographs can be viewed without having to touch the delicate glass plate negatives, but I am very excited to move into the next phase: shortlisting the most interesting images and researching the stories behind them, with the aim of making them accessible to the public in an online catalogue. We will be scouring microfilm copies of the Berkshire Chronicle to match the photographs with their stories, as well as conducting wider research on the people and places of Reading, and I'm really looking forward to finding out more about the images we have been working with.
As well as great images of evacuees and landgirls, local events ranging from school sports days to galas at the Town Hall, and famous faces such as Enid Blyton and Alec Guinness, there have also been lots of images of the quirkier side of Reading life – a cow on the loose in a shoeshop, nuns performing synchronized exercises and Father Christmas arriving by helicopter, to name just three! It is amazing to be part of making these images, many of which have not been seen for over 50 years, available to the public. The online catalogue should be a great resource for anyone interested in the history of Reading, or 20th century history in general, and I'm sure Sophie will keep you up to date with progress on the project.
When I am not helping with the Chronicle project, the staff at Reading Museum have been incredibly helpful and generous with their time in letting me get involved with many aspects of museum work, from leading store tours for Heritage Open Day to helping with the installation of the museum's upcoming portrait exhibition 'Making Faces: Tudor to Modern'. I have developed skills in marking objects, store cleaning and environmental monitoring, handling and packing objects and working with the museum database, which I'm hoping will be really useful in my future career.
One strand of the Reading Connections project is to create a web resource, in which material from the collections will be made viewable online. I am working largely on the Chronicle Collection belonging to Reading Museum; a photographic collection impressively boasting over 20,000 images taken between 1938 and 1962 for use in the Berkshire Chronicle Newspaper – now the Reading Chronicle.
A large and interesting collection, the Chronicle's content is diverse and covers a wide range of subjects such as war and peace, school, dance, theatre, religion, fetes, weddings, monuments and statues, sport, railways, trams and trolley buses, road accidents, floods, work outings, pubs, agricultural shows, Royal visits and famous visitors (including authors, politicians, theatre performers, film stars, sports men and women, musicians, artists, singers and variety show personalities), all centred in Reading and its surrounding geographical areas.
I have spent the last few months carefully selecting 2,000 images from the collection for the online resource which will essentially create a 'shop window' into the diversity and scope of the images the Chronicle Collection has to offer.
Whilst the photographs selected will reflect the varied nature of the collection, 'war' and 'peace' are particularly strong themes and link to the 2014 'Reading at War' exhibition at Reading Museum. I have therefore selected a moving image from 1939 of a child being fitted for a gas mask to share with you.
Many of the images selected for the online resource are in the form of glass plate negatives which are currently in the process of being digitised using specialist scanning equipment. As this strand of the project evolves, I'll be sure to keep you updated of my progress.

"half of the world finds out how you treat doctoral students or post-docs within a few hours via Twitter or Facebook" Peter Gruss, former Max Planck Society president toward the Max Planck Scientific Council, February 2014
academia leaks
The story of an anonymous letter important for German academia
At the beginning of the year, an anonymous written by a couple of early career researchers at Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (MPI-bpc) was sent to the Max Planck Society (MPG) president and the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The letter summarized the local issues and framed them into the known problems in the German academic system. The MPG management attacked the letter by steering the discussion towards the quality of its authors. Moreover, early career researchers were intimidated to avoid future similar letters. Here I frame the current events at MPI-bpc within the national fight to change the German academic system and answer the question of why these events are interesting for all MPIs and academics working or planning to work in Germany.
The context of the #infamousletter
Upon an external evaluation of their institute, a couple of postdocs from (MPI-bpc) summarized the discussed issues and wrote an anonymous letter. They sent the letter to the MPG president and to BMBF. Not only that the anonymous authors gathered the local issues, but they framed these issues within the MPG and the German academic system. The letter started a debate at the MPI-bpc as the MPG president asked that the early career researchers sign a letter condemning the anonymous one. I offered an overview of the events in the first part of the #infamousletter series.
While making the #infamousletter story public, I contacted quite a few of my old science politics collaborators from both inside and outside the MPG. People showed their support and interest but did not see why they should care about it. Also, many asked for a copy of the letter or, at least, to say what it is about.
The #infamousletter within the German academic system
Everyone should care about the letter because it is a 19 pages criticism of the German academic system based on stories from MPI-bpc and Göttingen University. I can distil the covered issues into a few categories:
Career paths in the German academic system
Payment-related issues for junior academics
General flaws in the stipend system, e.g., lack of social security
Discriminatory awarding of stipends and contracts based on nationality
Academics working without pay
Expecting mothers receiving a stipend not having proper insurance coverage
Criteria used for selecting and promoting academics
Group leaders and professors lacking the qualities of good leaders and/or managers
Academic freedom used as an excuse for deregulating departmental administration
Poor mentorship of junior academics
Neglect of teaching skills in evaluating academics
High-impact publications being the sole measurement for academic success, allegedly leading to scientific misconduct
Lack of representation for junior academics inside decision-making committees
Academic careers being incompatible with work-life balance
Difficulties faced by parents in academia
Inability to sustain a relationship when mobility is required for at least one partner
Inadequacies of campus food catering, fitness center etc.
Insufficient campus support for foreign scientists
Non-optimal budget management for academic institutions' infrastructure
Barriers to open access to scientific results
I feel that the issues stated are relevant for all academics working or planning to work in Germany. This is not the first time these issues come up. They were brought forth in the past by the network representing all the MPG PhD candidates – PhDnet. Moreover, GEW – the German Union for Education and Research – started in 2010 a campaign entitled Templin Manifesto. The campaign has a similar list of demands. Furthermore, in 2014, more than 25000 scientists rallied for fair career perspectives in the German academia. Last week, the Federal Council (Bundesrat) passed an amendment to the Science Employment Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz), but experts are not satisfied that the reform will bring the needed change. Many position papers, petitions, open letters, campaigns, and discussions around the German academic system happened and will still happen. The current letter is just one of the many instances.
The perils of not knowing your opponent
But if the present letter is just one of many, why is this important to discuss? Because how things evolved around it can explain why we do not have nice things in academia. The above-mentioned campaigns suffer, in my opinion, of two downsides. Either they are localized to specific, one might say, closed groups and/or they are not long-lasting and the know-how exchange does not happen across generations. The fact that the letter was written by just a couple of MPI-bpc postdocs proves the first point. This does not mean that their points are invalid. The second problem I mentioned is exemplified by the letter's style. Without experience, its authors put themselves in the position of victims of red herring arguments. Sadly, this strategy from the letter's opponents deterred discussing the issues as it divided the people. In addition, the MPG management used an old intimidation approach. Both strategies can be overcome by knowing the facts as presented below.
Firstly, the original debate was steered away from the issues at hand by tu quoque attacks. On one hand, the letter's opponents criticized the authors' emotional style and English level. Herbert Jäckle, the MPI-bpc managing director, stated that "if one reads the letter, they can smile. Smile in a sense that it is written in a frustrated haste". On the other hand, in my second post of the #infamousletter series, I showed that these opponents are emotional as well provoking us to wonder whether the letter's emotional style is not, in fact, a product of the MPG culture. In a future post, I will discuss the MPG internal culture related to English proficiency.
Secondly, MPI-bpc junior researchers were intimidated in order to avoid future similar complaints. The MPI-bpc managing director repeatedly stated that the letter constitutes a "break of confidentiality". I showed in my first post of the #infamousletter series that sending such letters of complaint is a statutory right.
MPI-bpc might have found the way to make science politics engaging!
Since the MPI-bpc early career researchers fell victims to tu quoque attacks and intimidation stemming from a cultural lack of transparency in academia, I decided to postpone sharing the letter until I explain the events which surrounded its genesis. I hope that people will be able to have a discussion about the issues at hand, rather than about the authors' qualities. Some argued that people might be distracted by the sandbox fight around the letter and make spectators question the MPG scientific excellence. I hope that the letter does not happen as people would see that a talent for science requires a different skill-set than politics. Furthermore, one external observer stated that if the situation surrounding the current letter would not be so controversial, this would be one of the many campaigns nobody cares about as politics is boring on its value alone. MPI-bpc might have found the way to make science politics engaging!
Personally, I disagree with the letter on a number of issues, but I salute it because it started many exciting conversations. We must learn that rather than dividing people on different issues, we need a real open debate on real issues. I intend to make this debate possible across Germany and not only!

How to Use American Rescue Plan Act K-12 Education Funds to Identify and Support Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARP), Congress' most recent package for COVID-19 relief provides nearly $123 billion in aid for K-12 education through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER), including several reservations to support students experiencing homelessness and other marginalized student groups. In addition to the $123 billion in ESSER funds, ARP includes $800 million in funding specifically dedicated to support the identification, enrollment, and school participation of children and youth experiencing homelessness, including through wrap-around services. A summary of the timing, allocation, and uses of these funds is here.

What should we call the debate of N.A.F.A. ?
We feature instruction in two different debate formats: policy debating (extended topic, propositions of policy, use of evidence) and parliamentary debating (extemporaneous topic, any type of proposition, no quoted materials).
policy debate: debate using a policy topic, including high school policy debate and college NDT debate.
The extemporaneous feature of parliamentary debate is one of the primary differences between it and cross-examination debate as practiced in U.S. secondary and post-secondary institutions. Cross-examination debate organizations select one or two topics for debate during an academic season.

The Borno state police command has Thursday issued a 21-day ultimatum to residents of Borno state to surrender all sorts of illegal firearms in their possession or face prosecution.
The Borno State Commissioner of Police, CP Damian Chukwu gave the ultimatum during a monthly press briefing with newsmen, all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers at the police headquarters in Maiduguri.
Chukwu said the ultimatum became necessary following the realization of proliferation of firearms coupled with drug trafficking and porousness of Borno state boarders with neighbouring countries of Niger, Chad and Cameroon Republics among other factors that are responsible for the increasing violent crimes and criminality in the state.
" For the above reasons , the Inspection General Of Police , Ibrahim Idris has directed that a Taskforce be created in the command to check the menace . The Taskforce is saddled with the responsibilities to curb theb proliferation of illegal arms and ammunition.
" Let me make it clear that, while Dane guns may be possessed without approval if any known authorithy, single barrel and double barrel short guns require licencing by the police to legalize.their possession," the CP said.
The commissioner added that while the above mentioned firearms may only be possessed by physically fit and proper persons , it was however for gaming purposes and now that the society was changing , bearers of such firearms use them for Security purposes.
" Please note that anybody found using firearms other than those mentioned above are viewed as breachers of the laws of the land and therefore are liable to arrest and prosecution in the law court.
" Consequently, persons having pump Action shall consider themselves bearing illegal firearms. They are therefore advised to surrender to the nearest police station, the police headquarters and other relevant authorities . In line with the directives of the IGP , they are given grace of 21 days to comply , thereafter , persons found with such arms will be confiscated and will also be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the land.," Chukwu said.
He however called on members of the public to cooperate with the police to ensure that all the important directives of the IGP were complied with without rancour.
" The IGP means well, the Federal government is aware of our curcumstances and that is why unlicenced arms must not be in circulation," Chukwu said.


"It's going to save millions of dollars by repurposing an existing sound structure to bring all of these operations under one roof," said Clay Mason, the city's outgoing Public Safety Commissioner.
Mason said that before he took the job in 2011, the city had considered building a new consolidated emergency operations center at Coldstream Research Park. But the cost of building a new center would have exceeded $39 million, consultants had told the city.
Mason looked at the city's available buildings and noticed that the Cisco Road juvenile detention center was largely being used for storage. The 32,000-square-foot building would be ideal to combine all the city's call operations — the 311 system that connects people to city departments, police and fire dispatch and E911, and its emergency management department — under one roof.
The city's emergency management department was spending more than $125,000 a year on a lease for space in a building on Martin Luther King Drive. The department was moved from there to Cisco Road in summer 2012 to save money, Mason said.
While the Cisco Road building is being renovated, emergency management has been moved to a city-owned building on Old Frankfort Pike.
The city has paid for its portion of the renovation — roughly $3 million — through bond money over the past two years, Curtis said.
Mason said public safety will ask for additional money in next year's budget for new communications equipment and furniture.
"We would have had to replace the communications equipment even if we had not moved," Mason said.
In addition, the city is expected to save more money when it moves all departments to Cisco Road. For example, LexCall is in city-owned property on Main Street. The city could use that for other purposes or lease it to a business, Mason said.
He and Curtis said the city needs to have all of its call operations and emergency management under one roof.
"If you have one event that is taking multiple resources, you need to have the ability for fire and police dispatch and emergency operations to be in the same place," Mason said.
In the past, the city has had to scramble to find a place to stage emergency operations during ice storms and other major storm events.
"We would have to stage in one place and then have to go to another place for a press conference," Curtis said. "This will make it so it's inclusive in one building. It just makes sense."


Using an architect seems like a luxury, but with the advent of the volume builders, there's a lot of high produced products at base prices. Subsequently, many people assume that it's the only option besides going to the big architectural firms where you're paying 25,000 a square. "We knew that we could bring volume construction to the architectural world and bring high end product with the efficiencies of a volume building company" explained Mr. Daly Director at Thomas Archer Homes, "We see ourselves as accessible architecture; the everyday mom and dad can build one of these homes and it won't cost them an arm and a leg".
Thomas Archer Homes focuses on boutique custom designs, standard plans, dual occupancy or the client's own designs. Sustainable initiatives are essential within the design of every home, without compromising comfort nevertheless. "We don't just think about six star energy ratings, we also think about the comfort this house provides" states Mr. Daly "not just legislation". Thomas Archer Homes takes their client's comfort seriously and is in fact working closely with CSR on a service called Comfort Tune. Once a house has been designed, clients are taken through a process called Comfort Tune, to ensure that the design meets the client's comfort and not just a 6 start energy rating.


This month the babies have enjoyed getting messy during our sensory play activities. One of the favourites has been investigating the porridge oats. The babies loved exploring the texture as it changed from dry to wet when we added some water. With jugs, bowls and spoons, the babies have great fun filling, emptying, moving and stirring the oats, and also experimenting with the different types of marks we could make in the tray. However, the most fun was had using our hands to explore the texture, and some of the babies even tried a little taste!
This month the Little Toddlers have been enjoying reading the "We're Going on a Bear hunt" story. The children have been creating some sensory bottles reflecting from the different scenes in the story, where we used a variety of resources to create visual and sound themed bottles.
The toddlers have also been introducing musical instruments whilst we read the book, we have been focusing on loud and quiet, fast and slow to mimic the various scenes throughout the story.
We are currently in process on creating a visual display showing the scenes of the story and a special outdoor walk and sensory trays for the children to explore.
Construction workers have been in our car park, working hard to put up a brand new fence. Captivated by the works, the Big Toddlers really enjoyed watching the process take place. The workers have been using lots of different pieces of equipment which made lots of different sounds, and they have also been driving some interesting vehicles, such as excavators, trucks and diggers to complete the job. The kind workers let the children come and take a closer look, and even have a sit in the excavator.
The children have enjoyed learning more about the work that's been taking place, and have been exploring this further in their circle time, reading the "Dazzling Diggers" story, and also playing with the diggers and trucks in our sand play.
The month we have been learning about people who help us. The children have showed a great interest in talking about, and acting out, different types of jobs and occupations. Our local Fire Station kindly borrowed us some fantastic activities and resources, which we have really enjoyed having a go at and trying on some different pieces of equipment. We have also been enjoying being firefighters ourselves and being in charge of putting out "fire's" around the nursery.
Next we moved onto the role of doctors and nurses, where the children wore their uniforms and practiced caring for their patients using various tools. The children used the occupations puzzle to look at the uniforms different jobs require you to wear. This encouraged them to think about safety and the reasons they wear uniform, such as a builder wearing a hard hat for protection and a doctor wearing gloves.
Outside the children experienced being traffic wardens, as they took it in turns to wear a high visibility jacket and control the traffic with their stop and go sign to keep their peers safe.


Governments are out of money, and museums, historical sites and cultural institutions are turning to the private sector and to consumers to keep their doors open and visitors moving through the turnstiles.
Shiny electric cars sit outside one Rome museum after a business paid $110,000 for a sponsorship.
The Louvre in Paris is exploring licensing its name to a line of elegant watches.
In Spain an art museum is saving money on electricity by promoting its electric company partners.
Everyone talks about the growing reliance on corporate partnerships, but it's only the beginning of the commerce and consumerism nonprofits will have to adopt to survive.
And cause marketing will be part of the vanguard.
With government funding decreasing annually and limits on how much donors will pay for tickets to a gala or an exhibition, nonprofits have to be more creative than ever in generating revenue, exploring untapped assets and watching expenses.
Beautifully situated on the left side of the Siene, the Musée d'Orsay has leveraged its location for profit by displaying giant posters for Air France and even H&M Clothing.
The days of going hat-in-hand are over as nonprofits have to hold onto their hats--and keep their heads--amid charges and retreats, victories and setbacks. Cause marketing may straddle both cause and commerce, but consumerism and elitism will always be wary of the other.
Will my favorite painting at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, Watson & the Shark, soon be sponsored by Charlie the Tuna?
Will I really care? I'm not sure. But I am sure of this. Resistance is futile.

The Member Magazine Of The American society for biochemistry and molecular biology
ASBMB Today Opinions Why graduate students should join scientific societies
Why graduate students should
join scientific societies
By Shea Feeney
Scientific societies — I'm sure you've heard of them. They're the standard for how scientists band together. Scientific societies serve an important purpose, whether it be to exchange ideas among members or to rally together to advocate as a unified voice for government support. But are you a member of one? Being a part of a scientific society as a graduate student communicates a specific message.
Let's take me, for example. I'm a graduate student member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. When I was an undergraduate at San Francisco State University, I helped found an ASBMB Student Chapter and was involved in K-12 outreach in my community. As a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Davis, I became a member of the ASBMB Educational and Professional Development Committee; I serve on the graduate and postdoc subcommittee, which focuses on enhancing the ASBMB's service on issues related to training and career development for these groups. I identify as an American scientist in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology who has chosen to be affiliated with a community of like scientists at various career stages.
Society membership shows an interest and willingness to be involved in your scientific community. You do not want to communicate an unintended message by not joining any scientific society as a graduate student. Inaction here does you no favors. And as I hope to prove to you with this article, a plethora of benefits are available if you get involved in a scientific society. If you are a graduate student (or know a graduate student), please read this (or give this to them) for a list of reasons that should serve as a catalyst to get you past that activation barrier, if you will. Shea Feeney, second from left, and other members of the ASBMB Student Chapter she helped found at San Francisco State University pose at the Bay Area Science Festival at AT&T Park. photos courtesy of Shea Feeney
Be a scientist within a community of scientists
As mentioned above, by joining a society, you are communicating to your field (and on your CV) what kind of scientist you identify as and what community of scientists you are affiliated with. And by joining a community of scientists in a field you care about, you can enhance the power of their collective voice.
Network, network, network
Now that you have identified your community, you should leverage this by building your network. By being a part of a scientific society, you already have built a link, but you also have opportunities to meet people face-to-face at the annual meeting and smaller conferences held throughout the year. Being a part of a society enables you to grow a large network — which is good, because you never know when you may need to turn to someone for more in-depth advice and have them become a mentor, which brings us to …
Find new mentors
Take advantage of a mentorship program or leverage your network to gain a new mentor from your scientific society. Your PI is, hopefully, not the end of the line when you seek advice. Building out your mentorship can be particularly helpful if you want to pursue a career path outside the traditional tenure-track faculty position. For instance, I have been expanding my own network by being involved with the ASBMB, and I have asked several of my new contacts informally to do informational interviews. This has helped me to gain new insights into and advice about nontraditional career paths.
Develop professionally
Feeney and other members of the San Francisco State University ASBMB Student Chapter showed children how to make DNA double helices out of licorice and marshmallows during the Bay Area Science Festival. Resources for career and professional development are priceless for graduate students. The ASBMB has many resources — from an entire course about the art of science communication to career development webinars on a range of topics from building your CV to the future of the biomedical research workforce. If you want to work on building your skill set (and now is always the time to do so), you need this kind of resource to sharpen your competitive edge. Please don't fall into the trap of thinking you can delay working on your professional development until you start looking for a job while the rest of your peers are starting now. Working on skills such as communication will help you at any stage. I speak from my direct experience with using the ASBMB's professional development resources and can vouch that they have been incredibly helpful and gave me new insight into different career paths, from careers in science writing to science policy, so I feel more informed about the options available. Moreover, I believe these resources help give a strong foundation for skill sets needed for any career path (for example, science communication and building a strong CV are important for most careers in science).
Get involved beyond the bench
As a member of a scientific society, you can become involved in activities beyond your bench work. Perhaps you'd find it rewarding to advocate for the science in your field. The ASBMB offers a policy fellowship that brings graduate students to Capitol Hill (if you are interested in science policy, I encourage you look up the ASBMB's Capitol Hill Day or the ASBMB policy blotter). The societies also offers opportunities to get involved as a graduate student in its committees or in specific student leadership positions. This is the pathway I took by joining the Education and Professional Development Committee as a Ph.D. student. After being involved in a Student Chapter for undergraduates, I wanted to continue with the ASBMB and do some form of outreach. Improving and increasing access to science education is particularly meaningful to me, and being on this committee gives me experience beyond my bench work in the lab in an area that is personally important and professionally relevant.
Get more perks
Although you pay nominal dues to join the ASBMB as a graduate student, you can recoup this cost through all the intangible benefits listed above and also the tangible benefits of direct discounts on conferences and opportunities to apply for travel awards and fellowships. The 2019 ASBMB annual meeting will be held in balmy Orlando, April 6-10. Registration is discounted for graduate student members, and travel awards are available — so do remember to apply. The ASBMB also offers members free online subscriptions to its journals, including the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and the monthly magazine ASBMB Today (the awesome magazine you are reading right now, which welcomes personal essays from all ASBMB members, including grad students).
These have been the direct benefits of my own membership with the ASBMB. I strongly believe that any Ph.D. student can leverage these same advantages and more. It really boils down to a simple cost-benefit analysis. If you are interested in all that the ASBMB has to offer, I hope you will rest your weary lab-trotting feet for a few minutes and sign up on their website to join a community of more than 11,000 ASBMB scientists.

'The five love languages'
in science mentoring
The five love languages helped Scott Aoki become a better, more present husband and father. He thinks they can also help researchers in academia.
"As I approached age 58 in 2010, I realized I was entering a zone full of health dangers. I decided to take matters into my own hands and start exercising more frequently and more rigorously."
"From failed experiments to weak presentations, I sometimes doubt myself as a researcher. Science outreach boosts my spirits in these times of self-doubt."
What I Wish People Understood
"I got pregnant with twins during the last part of my postdoctoral training. The pregnancy was planned, but the two-for-one special was a shock and wreaked havoc on my detailed financial and career plans."
When the going gets tough,
I go to the gym
"I needed something to ease my mind — something that I could do for myself every single day that would relieve some of the pressure."

The Record: Letters, Monday, July 25
Blame people,
not the geese
I spend a lot of time in Edgewater observing and photographing the geese, seagulls, ducks and any wildlife I am graced to see. A major problem I've witnessed many times is people feeding the birds.
I've politely approached people who are feeding and have informed them that feeding is illegal and is also detrimental to the health of the geese. Unnatural food, such as bread, causes a deformity called "angel wing" that renders geese unable to fly. Feeding the geese also accustoms them to handouts and discourages them from seeking natural food sources, thus creating the issue of their congregating in certain areas.
At a recent council meeting, I suggested a campaign to educate the public against feeding geese and wildlife. The Animal Protection League of New Jersey once again generously offered its assistance, time, money and expertise to institute non-lethal humane solutions and to work with the borough to make Edgewater a better place for both animals and the public.
So many people were willing to volunteer, but the suggestions, ideas and help were discounted and flatly refused.
Mayor Michael McPartland said seven geese were killed through a program run by the federal government. The total amount of the contract was $11,998, with Edgewater splitting the cost with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Did they get their money's worth? How do Edgewater residents feel about their tax dollars being used to gas to death the geese?
Why have these beautiful birds been vilified? If people opened their eyes, they would learn so much from animals — like strong family values. Watch how the geese protect and nurture their young, how beautiful they are in flight and how peacefully they rest in the grass, with beaks tucked in wings.

Don't overlook
the family unit
Regarding "A hero emerges in Dallas" and "Does the Pokémon generation have no common sense?" (both Opinion, July 17):
One column spoke about the police being asked to do too much. The column stated "Every societal failure, we put it off on the cops to solve."
Another column spoke about Pokémon Go being played in some of the most "sacred" locations in our country.
I would also add that in the state of New Jersey, our urban schools have been placed in the same situation of trying to solve the societal ills of those communities. Maybe I am wrong, but I see a common thread here.
I would make a case that the thread missing is the family unit. Without thread, the basic fabric cannot be made. Nothing in our society today can replace that basic and necessary unit. I find myself in a similar situation as one of the writers today.
I have pushed 60 and have seen the other side of it. Looking out of these pair of eyes, sometimes it simply is not pretty. Parenting is a tough job. As parents, you are not your child's buddy. My wife and I were foster parents for many years, and we had 23 children come through our home over the years.
To become foster parents we were required to attend 20 hours of classroom instruction. My question at the time was: I don't recall ever having to be pre-approved to become a parent; why now? Maybe a pre-approved process is what society needs.

Two tales
of failed leadership
Supporters of Governor Christie and Donald Trump mistake bombast for strength, demagoguery for leadership and insults for candor.
Christie's failed leadership in New Jersey has resulted in nine state credit downgrades, a bankrupt Transportation Trust Fund, crumbling infrastructure and an underfunded public employee pension fund.
Trump's improbable grandiose pronouncements in lieu of detailed policy proposals portend a national domestic disaster analogous to Christie's failed policies with one added worry. Foreign policy and diplomacy require nuanced resolve and patient execution — charitably speaking, not Trump's forte.
His recent comments on NATO, for instance, indicate a superficial understanding of geopolitics. New Jerseyans now rue Christie's election and Americans will rue Trump's election should it, heaven forbid, come to pass. I do agree with Trump on one point, however. The stakes for America could not be higher.

People often tell me in hushed tones that they delight in book sniffing. These confessions are wrapped in happy, faux-guilt-laden shrugs of pleasure. There's something magical in that almond and vanilla odor that wafts from books, with pages sometimes yellow-edged, finger-smudged, marred by the occasional coffee or wine ring, a store-branded bookmark, a price label peeling off, a flower or ticket stub tucked inside. A teardrop wrinkles a page—was it joy, or sorrow, or both? In summer, when the days stretch long, we too stretch out with books in our hands, to read and sniff, perhaps to nap. We digest books in a more leisurely way. The lighter the read, the faster we turn the pages. But there is nothing hurried about summer reading; it is nourishing, not rushed, as we prolong the tangible experience.
For many, new popular fiction is retrieved from the public library. As we know them today, public libraries appeared first in the nineteenth century, where collections could be used freely and exuberantly by the public. Demand was met by (or driven by) production ability; in 1814 the London Times was pulling up to 250 sheets an hour, up from the former 100 sheets pulled manually in preceding years. Rising affluence allowed for more frequent recreational book buying and reading. Voracious readers consumed unprecedented amounts of leisure reading, seen in sales of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, which sold copies in the hundreds of thousands. We in the 21st century have inherited this insatiable appetite.
And isn't this at the heart of our summer reading? When we traipse off to the beach with our blanket, hunting for a weathered Adirondack, we have a book in our tote, a book that will both whisk us away into the "other" while focusing us even more precisely on ourselves, in the chair, feeling the breeze, sipping the umbrella-ed drink.
The author of the novel—popular or elevated—has created for us, the readers, a portal to other worlds. We are transported and transformed. As C. S. Lewis said, we do this so we "know we are not alone." And for this summer pleasure, we are granted longer days, with earlier sunrises and later sunsets, so that we might indulge our desires to read, to sniff, to dream.

Celtics Officially Sign Maten, Gates; Camp Roster Set
September 30th 2019 at 11:04am CST by Luke Adams
The Celtics have made a handful of roster moves to set their roster for training camp, the team announced today in a press release. Boston waived recently-signed players Bryce Brown and John Bohannon, officially signing Yante Maten and Kaiser Gates using the newly-created openings.
Maten, 23, spent most of the 2018/19 season on a two-way contract with the Heat. He appeared in just two games for Miami but thrived for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G League. The rookie power forward averaged 23.5 PPG and 9.7 RPG in 30 games for Sioux Falls, earning a spot on the All-NBAGL Second Team. After being waived by Miami this summer, he reached an agreement with Boston.
Gates, who will turn 23 in November, joined the Bulls for training camp last fall after going undrafted out of Xavier. He was waived by Chicago before the season began and reported to the team's G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls. In 50 NBAGL games, the forward recorded 12.7 PPG and 6.4 RPG with a .408/.375/.786 shooting line. Earlier this month, he agreed to sign with the Celtics.
As for the Celtics' waived players, Brown is expected to become an affiliate player for the Maine Red Claws, while Bohannon will likely rejoin to Boston's G League team as a returning rights player.
The Celtics now have a full 20-man roster heading into camp, including 14 players on guaranteed salaries. Assuming Boston plans on carrying a 15th man, Maten and Gates figure to compete with Tacko Fall and Javonte Green for that spot.

The vehicle had historical plates from Arizona, even though it was not a historical vehicle. When deputies asked him about the plates, he said he stole the car in Arizona so he could return to Pennsylvania. However, he said he ran out of gas on the spot deputies found him and planned on sleeping before trying to get gas money later in the morning.
Deputies said the man admitted to stealing the car from a Phoenix business. He said he was not impaired by drugs or alcohol, and passed field sobriety tests.

Once the festivities were winding down and the sun was setting on Hollywood Boulevard, it was time to make our way into the theatre to see the movie that the sports world has been buzzing about, "Million Dollar Arm". Imagine my excitement when I realized that not only did I have one of the best seats in the house, we were also seated among the actors who made this film so special. (Madhur Mittal who plays Dinesh Patel was a few seats away, and the hilarious and talented Pitobash who portrays the quirky Indian baseball coach, Amit, was directly behind me.) It was unreal, and the whole theatre buzzed with excitement.

Das Unterwasserlabor "Helgoland" ist eine ehemalige deutsche Unterwasserstation und das erste stationäre Tauchsystem zum Sättigungstauchen für den Einsatz in kälteren Gewässern.

Geschichte

Das Unterwasserlabor (UWL) wurde 1969 von der Firma Dräger in Lübeck im Auftrag der Biologischen Anstalt Helgoland gebaut.

Erste Station des Einsatzes war 1969 vor Helgoland. Bei diesem Einsatz kamen Karl-Heinz Schumann und der Student Winfried Kreytenberg am 6. Dezember 1969 in 25 Meter Tiefe südöstlich der Insel Düne bei Arbeiten am Unterwasserlabor ums Leben; sie sollten die Verbindung zwischen Unterwasserlabor und Versorgungstonne lösen. Das Labor wurde im April 1970 vom Schwimmkran Magnus 4 gehoben und auf die Mole im Helgoländer Südhafen gesetzt.

Nach Erfahrungen aus dem ersten Einsatz wurde 1971 ein Nassraum angebaut. Es erfolgte ein weiterer Einsatz vor Eckernförde in neun Meter Tiefe.

Im Jahr 1972 wurde die Station an das GKSS-Forschungszentrum in Geesthacht übergeben. Von diesem wurde es bis 1981 in der Ostsee, der Nordsee und dem Nordatlantik eingesetzt.

Weitere Einsätze waren 1973 erneut vor Helgoland in 23 Meter Tiefe, 1974 in der Lübecker Bucht in 15 Meter Tiefe, 1975 vor Rockport in 33 Meter Tiefe sowie in den Jahren 1975 bis 1981 jeweils in der Lübecker Bucht in Wassertiefen zwischen elf und 15 Metern.

1998 übergab das GKSS-Forschungszentrum das UWL als Geschenk an das Deutsche Meeresmuseum. Es wurde auf dem Wasserweg von Geesthacht nach Stralsund transportiert, wo es seitdem im Nautineum Stralsund ausgestellt wird.

Technische Daten

Der Innenbereich des UWL Helgoland bestand aus einem Wohnbereich von 2,5 m Länge, einem Instrumentierungs- und Maschinenraum von 6,5 m Länge und ab 1973 einem Nassbereich von 4 m Länge. Bei einem Durchmesser von 2,5 m ergibt sich daraus eine nutzbare Grundfläche von 32,5 m².

Das UWL enthielt auf relativ engem Raum alle notwendigen Einrichtungen für einen mehrwöchigen Aufenthalt der Meeresforscher auf dem Meeresboden. Der Druck im Inneren entsprach dem Außendruck; die  Dekompression erfolgte am Ende des Einsatzes.

Das Unterwasserlabor besitzt eine Klimaanlage und eine gute Wärmedämmung. Durch Flutung der Ballasttanks mit Seewasser wurde das Labor abgesenkt; zum Auftauchen wurde das Wasser mittels Druckluft aus den Tanks gepresst.

 Länge: 14 Meter
 Breite: 7 Meter
 Höhe: 7 Meter
 Gesamtmasse (mit Ballast): 110 Tonnen

The Alpha Scholars played host to a group of 31 students and staff from Skive College, Denmark. Members of the group were eager to see our building and find out about student life in a cosmopolitan global capital.
After a tour of the college, the Danish students delivered a presentation on Denmark. The Scholars enhanced their understanding on a wide range of topics including demographics, economic affairs and the strong culture of design in Denmark. It was then the turn of the DLD students to present. Adam Linert, Dayana Chumburidze and Cody O'Connor presented their ideas on 'Collaborative Learning in the Digital Age'. The presentation explored issues such as appropriate 'Netiquette' and also offered practical suggestions for maximising learning online. The final part of the visit involved the Alpha Scholars chairing an open discussion on collaborative learning. The event provided a learning opportunity for all those involved.
We wish the staff and students of Skive a safe trip back to Denmark and hope to continue our conversation online.
