July 26, 2018 3 comments on "C++ rules for special member functions"
C++ has several special member functions that are defined by the compiler even if not defined by the user. These special member functions are the default constructor, the copy constructor, the copy assignment operator, the move constructor, the move assignment operator, and the destructor. However, there are many rules for what is defined and in which circumstances. For instance, if no special member function is defined by the user then all of them are implicitly defined by the compiler. On the other hand, if a copy constructor or copy assignment operator is defined by the user, then the move constructor and move assignment operator are not defined by the compiler. To make it easier to comprehend all the rules, the following table describes what is defined by the compiler based on what is defined by the user.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Speaking at the BNEF Summit in New York City, Sunrun's Chief Executive, Lynn Jurich, today called upon energy industry leaders to take bold action to rapidly decarbonize the electric system, empower people to generate clean energy, and quickly scale deployment of local renewable technologies.
In a new report, We Can Decarbonize Rapidly: How Consumers Are Making It Happen, Sunrun details how home solar and battery systems can help create a cleaner, more resilient and affordable energy system. The report demonstrates how these energy resources can replace gas-fired power plants, rebuild the energy system in Puerto Rico, and mitigate wildfire risk in California and other wildfire-prone communities.
Sunrun's analysis includes recommendations for evolving the current utility business model, maximizing the value of batteries, cutting permitting red tape, and expanding access to solar energy in vulnerable communities impacted by climate change and pollution.
"We should boldly scale local energy resources and prove how they can complement and streamline existing centralized power plants and the transmission system. This will help us develop a resilient and decarbonized energy system on a timeline that supports a prosperous and sustainable future," said Lynn Jurich.
The report further details what it means to build a consumer-centered energy system, and how on-the-ground innovation is key to success: "We are on a learning curve with distributed solar, batteries and other consumer-centered energy resources. We need to continue to encourage more adoption so we can prototype with how to share these resources and deliver services to the grid," writes Jurich.
To learn more, read the full report at Sunrun.com/wecandecarbonizenow.
Sunrun (Nasdaq:RUN) is the nation's largest residential solar, battery storage and energy services company. With a mission to create a planet run by the sun, Sunrun has led the industry since 2007 with their solar-as-a-service model, which provides clean energy to households with little to no upfront cost and at a saving compared to traditional electricity.

Reps probing secret dollar account at NPA
Banking Economy News
The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the alleged secret account being kept by the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, with a balance of over $1 billion.
The move followed the unanimous adoption of a motion of urgent public importance moved by Kolawole Lawal at plenary on Thursday.
The motion was entitled: 'The Need to Investigate the Alleged Illegal Secret Account Opened by the Nigerian Ports Authority in Unity Bank to Collect Revenue from Vessels'.
Consequently, the House mandated its Committees on Finance Ports and Harbours to "investigate these allegations and counter-allegations, determine if the Nigerian Ports Authority or any of their personnel committed any infractions."
Lawal, while moving the motion, noted the controversy generated by a whistleblower who claimed that while acting in line with the whistleblower policy of the Federal Government, he duly informed, in confidence, the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, OAGF, about a hidden or secret account operated by NPA in Unity Bank to collect revenue generated from sea vessels.
The lawmaker said the whistleblower alleged that the information he gave to the OAGF led to the exposure of an illegal secret account in a Lagos branch of Unity Bank where the sum of $1,034,516,000 was kept, contrary to financial regulations and the constitution.
He said the whistleblower also alleged that the information was verified and approved by the OAGF as qualified for financial reward as prescribed under the whistleblower policy of the government.
Lawal noted that based on the advice of the OAGF, a written agreement was reached between a representative of the whistleblower, Mamman Maiyaki & Co. Legal Practitioners, and the office as evidence of the transaction.
The lawmaker also noted that NPA, in response to the allegation, admitted that it operates an account with a Lagos branch of Unity Bank with Account Number 0013670344 and a balance of $1,057,772,000.03 as of December 4, 2019, but denied the sum of $1,034,515,000.03 as alleged by the whistleblower.
He added that the NPA admitted that the bank account had not been operated since August 27, 2010, due to a Garnishee Order Nisi given by the Federal High Court which was subsequently affirmed by the Supreme Court eight years after in the case of Aminu Ibrahim & Co VS Nigerian Ports Authority (Suit No. FHC/L/CS/ 582/ 2010).
He stressed that the NPA claimed that upon the determination of the case at the Supreme Court, the judgment creditors continued with the Garnishee process which resulted in the payment of $1,057,772,000.03 from the account to the judgment creditor on December 4, 2019, in line with the Garnishee Order Absolute.
"The House is concerned that the material particulars of the allegations by the whistle-blower have been contradicted by the NPA but since public fund is involved in the matter, it is imperative that the House intervenes in the crisis, with a view to establishing the true situation in public interest.
"The House is concerned also that the NPA may be operating from other accounts in similar situations.
"The House wonders if NPA or any Federal Government ministry, department or agency has authority to pay any public money to any judgment creditor in satisfaction of a judgment debt without obtaining the prior approval of the OAGF, in view of the clear provisions of Section 84 of the Sheriffs and Civil Process Act CAP 56 LFN 2004, which provides that the prior consent of AGF should be obtained before any MDA can transfer public funds to a judgment creditor in satisfaction of a judgment debt.
"The House also wonders if the NPA has authority to keep revenue generated in any commercial bank, in view of the clear provisions of Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution which provides that all revenues collected by government shall be paid into a special account called the Federation Account."

Anyone a DOA fan? I know it gets a pretty hard time for being a bit of a masher and not being much of a technical fighter but I've always enjoyed the series and have been spending a bit of time with 4.
I did have 4 but traded it in a while back. It was decent enough for a mashy, not-very-serious fighter, I liked playing as...bugger...Ein?
These new stages are looking pretty damn good.

Эвакуация населения Финской Карелии — проведённое в ноябре—декабре 1939 года перемещение населения Карельского перешейка, Северного Приладожья, крупных городов Выборг и Сортавала и других территорий Финляндии, потенциально способных стать прифронтовыми, вглубь страны. Было эвакуировано 422 тысячи человек, что составило примерно 12 % населения Финляндии.

Предыстория
Массовое переселение жителей началось во время советско-финских войн 1919—1922 годов, когда после подавления антисоветского восстания около 30 тысяч человек финно-карельского населения переселилось в Финляндию.

Ход событий

В октябре 1939 года, в связи с неудачным для финской стороны ходом советско-финляндских переговоров в Москве по территориальному вопросу, началась широкая добровольная эвакуация финского населения из пограничных с СССР территорий, в результате которой выехало в тыл около 50 тыс. человек. 17 октября 1939 года Государственный совет Финляндии отдал приказ о принудительной эвакуации населения из 4–10-километровой зоны в тыловые районы. Несмотря на приказ, эвакуация оттягивалась или не проводилась вообще, ввиду надежды финских властей на мирное урегулирование территориальных претензий СССР..

С началом боевых действий в начале декабря 1939 года, эвакуация началась спешно в сложных зимних условиях. Иногда это приводило к панике и жители были вынуждены зарезать домашний скот. Кроме того, скот погибал в пути. Из некоторых деревень женщины, старики и дети отправились ещё во второй половине ноября, но основная часть собралась в период с 29 ноября по 4 декабря. В это же время навстречу по дорогам двигались финские войска. Большая часть эвакуирующихся собиралась в крупных общественных зданиях, таких как школы или магазины, где можно было переночевать, и дожидалась погрузки на машины, но многим приходилось передвигаться пешком или на лошадях. С собой можно было взять самые необходимые личные вещи и еду на три дня. Детям требовалось носить на шее бирки с именем, выучить дату и место рождения и имена своих отцов и матерей, что не всегда соблюдалось.

Перегонщики скота должны были заботиться о кормлении и дойке и искать сено и зерно. На ночёвку скот загонялся в сараи и коровники.
Население ночевало в школах в Уймахарью и в Калтимо, в частных домах и церкви Эно. Поддержку оказывали отряды самообороны, общества Лотта и Мартта. На станциях люди грузились в вагоны для скота, в которых были по стенкам лавки и скамейки, а в центре — печка и дрова. На вагон было два оцинкованных ведра — одно с питьевой водой, второе для естественных нужд. Для освещения имелось в наличии несколько свечей. Так люди добирались до места назначения по маршруту Калтимо — Контомяки — Иисалми. Из-за бомбёжек и воздушных тревог продвижение было медленным и длилось более двух суток.

Около 180 тысяч человек вернулось на прежнее место жительства после 1941 года, когда территория Карельского перешейка и Северного Приладожья была занята финскими войсками в ходе советско-финской войны. Однако они были вынуждены повторно эвакуироваться перед тем, как в июне 1944 года эти территории вернулись под контроль СССР.

Парижский мирный договор 1947 года окончательно подтвердил присоединение этих территорий к СССР. Эвакуированное население было расселено во внутренних районах Финляндии. Общее количество переселенцев с 1939 по 1944 год составило 450 тысяч человек.

Yottixel – An Image Search Engine for Large Archives of Histopathology Whole Slide Images
Shivam Kalra, H. R. Tizhoosh, Charles Choi, Sultaan Shah, Phedias Diamandis, Clinton J.V. Campbell, Liron Pantanowitz
Artificial Intelligence and Informatics
With the emergence of digital pathology, searching for similar images in large archives has gained considerable attention. Image retrieval can provide pathologists with unprecedented access to the evidence embodied in already diagnosed and treated cases from the past. This paper proposes a search engine specialized for digital pathology, called Yottixel, a portmanteau for "one yotta pixel," alluding to the big-data nature of histopathology images. The most impressive characteristic of Yottixel is its ability to represent whole slide images (WSIs) in a compact manner. Yottixel can perform millions of searches in real-time with a high search accuracy and low storage profile. Yottixel uses an intelligent indexing algorithm capable of representing WSIs with a mosaic of patches which are then converted into barcodes, called "Bunch of Barcodes" (BoB), the most prominent performance enabler of Yottixel. The performance of the prototype platform is qualitatively tested using 300 WSIs from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and 2,020 WSIs from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) provided by the National Cancer Institute. Both datasets amount to more than 4,000,000 patches of 1000 × 1000 pixels. We report three sets of experiments that show that Yottixel can accurately retrieve organs and malignancies, and its semantic ordering shows good agreement with the subjective evaluation of human observers.

Q: model estimation with feedback loop in variables I have the following problem regarding fitting of a model where some variables can be biased so that their values are based on knowledge or at good guestimate of $Y$ in the past. In other words: some (not all) $X$ in my model are correlated with $Y$ in a sense that their values were selected based on past values of $Y$.
For a longer read, I can give you an example: let's say I want to open a store in a small city, I know a priori my revenues ($Y$) will not be very high (or I am risk averse), therefore I will not rent much space ($X_1$) and will not put much salespeople ($X_2$). And if I was wrong and business is running better than I initially thought ("thought" = previously estimated $Y$), I will put additional salespeople and rent a place with more space after warm-up period.
On the other hand, if I put more salespeople, they are not there only for handling transactions -- they also drive new sales, therefore they should be (somehow) included in my model, but only to the extent they do not include my prior knowledge on $Y$. Same with floor space - I have more stuff to sell so my shop is more attractive now, and revenues ($Y$) should increase.
One constraint to considerations: I am observing only current values of variables, no history.
I was thinking of estimating model without those variables and estimate floor and salespeople effect by doing a second fit on error terms, but if people and floor are correlated to some extent with other variables, their predictive power will be "overshadowed" by variables I included at the first step.
$$
Y = \beta_{01} + \beta_3 \times X_3 + \epsilon_1
$$ $$
\epsilon_1 = \beta_{02}  + \beta_1 \times X_1 + \beta_2 \times X_2 + \epsilon_2
$$
I have also been considering something related to instrument variables, but I admit I lack theoretical grounds here on when and how to use it.

Bramhavidya or Bramhajnanam means only the identification of the alive human form of God(Shri Dattaswami) present before your eyes. The whole difficulty in this identification lies in the point that the alive human incarnation (Shri Dattaswami) is just before your eyes, talking and moving with you like your friend. You are searching for the Kohinoor diamond everywhere but it is just present on your table acting as a paper weight! You are neglecting the paper weight and searching for the diamond everywhere in the sky. If it is hidden somewhere, the search and research become meaningful.
Krishna was present before Arjuna from the childhood. Arjuna asked Krishna about the possibility of Krishna preaching the Sun in the beginning of the world since Krishna was recently born. Arjuna went to Himalayas to do long penance for Lord Shiva for the future victory in the war. He was unable to know the value of Krishna present before his eyes. He was unable to know that Krishna Himself was Shiva. Therefore, the whole problem in finding out God does not lie in finding out some specific special place of God. It lies only in the point that you are searching for that specific and special place of God while God (Shri Dattaswami) is standing before your eyes!

The Morning After: No Pill, Just Hard Work
(Published in Between The Lines Newspaper November 7, 2018)
One of the lasting lessons I learned from Detroit's legendary activist Jeff Montgomery was no matter what the outcome was of an election, we must prepare for the morning after. As I write this before knowing the results, I know that things could go either for or against us, but we have to be prepared. When he said this advice, Montgomery was talking about the 2004 Michigan vote that made it unconstitutional for the state to recognize or perform same-sex marriages or civil unions. So much was at stake.
The 2018 midterm elections are much the same. So much is at stake, not just for the LGBTQIA community, but for immigrants, education, fair wages, survivors of sexual assault, reproductive rights, voting rights and so much more.
And, no matter what the outcome of the midterm election, we still have a lot of work to do. There are no quick fixes. There's no morning-after pill to fix all that's wrong in our communities, our state, our country and in our world.
And as much as I want to believe that rainbow and blue waves can turn the tide on the bright orange tsunami that's hell-bent on destroying all we hold dear, the reality is things didn't just get bad since 45 took office; they just got real. Really real.
Racism, homophobia, and transphobia have only been emboldened under 45 but were nothing new for communities of color or members of the LGBTQIA community. We knew we weren't entering a post-racial period in America with the election of Barack Obama. There was still Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, and others.
Black Lives Matter but everyday reports of shootings and social and economic disparities said they didn't. At the same time, rhetoric against other communities of color and immigrants was ratcheted up in daily tweets
And even with the end of "don't ask, don't tell," marriage equality and markedly increased support for LGBTQIA rights across the country and in the White House, the gay community knew there would still be haters.
Despite Trump's promise to defend LGBTQ rights, his health agency has blocked efforts to combat discrimination. Political appointees have halted or rolled back regulations intended to protect LGBTQ workers and patients, removed LGBTQ-friendly language from documents and reassigned the senior adviser dedicated to LGBTQ health.
In 2017, at least 29 deaths of transgender people in the U.S. due to fatal violence were reported. Right now, 2018 is on track to be even worse for deadly assaults against transgender Americans.
We've endured the travel bans, revelations of sexual misconduct and assault that gave life to the #MeToo movement and were reminded again during the Kavanaugh confirmations.
We were appalled by the shootings at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and inspired by the protests led by the Parkland students.
All of this brought us to the 2018 midterms. Many again had a fire lit in their belly – a burning for justice, equality, freedom, and hope. We've marched, rallied, registered voters and rallied some more.
Our mailboxes – electronic and real-world, have been jammed with flyers, pamphlets, and fundraising letters. And we've responded showing up and shelling out record numbers to turn the tide with our rainbow and blue waves.
But now what? We still have a lot of work to do.
Unfortunately, when asked why they didn't vote, there are those who will tell you their vote doesn't count, that their one vote won't make a difference. Some have never voted, and others have stopped voting and still use these same excuses.
Democracy is not a sport. There are no slam dunks, Hail Mary passes or home runs. It also is not a spectator sport where we can sit on the sidelines, cheer, hope and pray that our team will win.
Democracy is a living, participative work in progress that takes all of our efforts not only at the polls but every day.
There will be wounds to heal and fences to mend, but let's commit to doing the work.
Let's get beyond partisan politics and fight for a system that puts people first. Let's re-commit to the promise of America that has historically brought immigrants to this country, celebrate their contributions and not let our borders be ruled by fear and hate-mongering.
Let's provide our children with a safe space to learn, where they'll learn to think critically, feel safe and recognize they can differ with someone without vilifying them. But most importantly, let them know that they should be respected and free to be their authentic selves, especially if they are LGBTQIA.
Let's not forget the environment, income inequality, jobs with fair wages, health care and so much more just in this country. But we're also part of the global community. There's only one earth and our actions/inactions have global implications.
There's no morning-after pill to fix all that's wrong in our communities, our state, our country and in our world, but maybe now that we've seen just how ugly things can get, we're ready to get it done!

All competencies can be seen here, what did I learn for every competency.
At the start of this project we began to do some research in Woensel because that was the advice from our coach. This research was unfunded and not really informative because we didn't knew where we were looking for. This is something I am going to change the next time when I start at ta project, first determine what do we want to accomplish. Furthermore we needed a target group to focus on but that took a lot of time because of the project description. This project was focused on the cultural aspect and there was no clear direction to go to. I learned that eventually it doesn't really matter what target group you chose, every target group has it pro's and con's. You should be able to design for anything and anyone. Off course when the project description gives you a target group it would be different.
The iterative process we've had in the project was disturbing and demotivating. This was due to the unfinished phases. We've started with a research phase but we actually almost never ended it. There was no real hard conclusion because we or I was afraid to take a choice. To say where we we're going to. Also this brought us into trouble for the final exhibition because we needed a product to deliver and only research is not an excellent product. This did me realize, make your phases clear and not too long. This will help you to continue with the project and will help you to improve the final deliverable because you've simply got more time to work on it.
This project is really aimed at the Social Cultural Awareness part. I learned several important things. At the street I had an interview with someone and I realized that I never can understand and know other cultures, by looking to my own reference. I have to dive into the other culture to know all the important things. Otherwise I'm just making prejudices based on wrong parameters.
In a presentation I realized that especially as a designer you have to look real carefully to all you thoughts about other cultures, on what evidence is every statement about them based. For example, it is really simple but you have to realize it, when you take young children a few black and a few white they don't make a distinction. Why should we make it? I can't think of one reason. Most people know that you shouldn't discriminate but what if you take that away, don't even think about discrimination. They are the same, really!
In a video about smart city's where Adam Greenfield was giving a lecture he told a story about Willie Sutton. Willie Sutton was a bank robber and when someone asked him "why do you rob banks?" He answered "Because that's where the money is". This realized me that this statement is applicable at so many things. Also on this Social Cultural aspect. You have to design something where there is need for it. Of course there are exceptions but I think that this is really important for most new designs.
Because of this small assignment I dived into companies and realized what their cultural part was, why are giving people a like, to a company with a simple design, or an online shop who becomes an offline shop? This is interesting for me to take it with me with new design challenges into the social cultural awareness part. I realized that there is another Social Cultural Awareness. The one of the business man who are afraid of innovation and flexibility because they are afraid to lose what they have. That's one of the reasons startup companies are often so good. They have nothing to lose and totally go for the new and innovative products.
Before the mid-term exhibition there wasn't that much to do with form and senses in our project but for the mid-term exhibition we made a prototype so people could see how it would be placed and to help people to get a visual in their head. I guess I'm not the only one who finds it important to have a picture in my head about the situation.
Furthermore when we were thinking about form and senses I found something real interesting, the past. The past can bring back memories and feelings that were special. They can bring Goosebumps or tears in your eyes. Emotion is great to have for a product. I know that this is extremely hard to realize in your product but well I need something to aim for.
For this assignment I had a meeting about form and senses and I had to prepare something. I started to think and I couldn't think about anything useful for or project so I decided to make something special for this expert meeting. I wanted to improve the feeling about the drink water bottle everyone has in their bag. I used foam to test it myself which experience is better than the existing ones. This was new for me to test a product for how it feels, right now I know that this is an important part of design you have to take every aspect into account to deliver a total product that fits the user the best.
For this video it was important that the sense was right. It needed the sense of the presentation given at that moment. I'm not quite sure if that worked out as planned, or if this was the intention of Out of Office. I learned that sometimes you need extra raw material from the presentation or from a different location to make the video more attracting to see.
Also with this video it was important to get the story clear. The sense is really important. When is it going to be thrilling or when is it over. Music together with video has to deliver emotions to you as watching person. In this production it was hard to say how I wanted it because it was a group project but I would have done it differently. When there is action I would have cut some shots and more switching between cameras and perspectives. This will increase the tension of the viewer.
This project was different than what I was used to. We were placed in this team together and at almost all other projects I've done I worked with people I knew. This has a huge advantage but also a disadvantage. You know the people and know what you can expect from them but also you don't know how I would be with others and what the effect would be if you would work with 'strangers'. Well this happened right here and it was informative. I learned that especially at the start of a study there are people not at their right spot so you have to deal with different interests. Also motivation and hobbies are different and you have to take that into account. But on the positive side I was surprised by the new and interesting points of view and that's the biggest advantage when you are working with others. You shouldn't prejudice anything they are saying and you should think twice about everything they say because their way of thinking can be totally different than yours so you don't directly understand the essence of what they mean.
For Out of Office I was asked to make a video about their presentation, I did this together with Yannick Brouwer. This video should communicate the style of Out of Office. This is new for me and a whole new challenge. First you have to get a feeling with the company after that you should edit it in such a way that others can see what the environment is about the presentation. I realized that it is not easy to edit video in such a way to cover the style of a company next time I will take notes before the shooting so I can adept the raw material to what I need instead of shooting and after that look for the right pictures to include. Also for communicating the steps between the final deliverable I have to find something that works good for the company and for myself. Now we used dropbox, skype and vimeo but there has to be a way that is easier for the company.
This movie was mostly promoted by use of twitter. This was the first time a noticed and experienced how a viral works and can be generated. This is real handy when you want something to get published but you don't have the money to buy some advertorials at websites. Also the whole making of this project was mostly done by use of skype, an online forum and email. Cause of the open project everyone had to be involved but some decisions had to be made so there is also a team who makes the decisions. For me it was good to learn how teams and tasks are divided to increase the efficiency.
In the expert meeting about self-reflecting I've learned that it should be personal, it is all about me. Also the self-reflection is not for the assessor. Well maybe a little bit, but most important it is for me. By use of the self-reflection I'm able to improve myself, to see where the weak points are, what I've learned, why some things went wrong or good and to give new inspiration.
I realized that before on VWO I wasn't used to self-reflection. I've done some things but I never reflected it in such a way as we have to do right now. I'm convinced that this type of self-reflection is hard to master but great to use.
In the expert meeting he told us something about "AH" the expression you have when you realize something you've never realized before. I realized (an AH moment) that this was great to have. This are important steps in my development because they let me think different on new ways so my mind gets wider and I've got more possibilities to reach when looking for something in my brain.
I learned in the past weeks that self-reflecting is great and especially in combination with errors/mistakes. As soon as I make a mistake and you start reflecting it you learn from it. In my daily life there are so many mistakes but as you start to love them they are becoming much more attractive and useful.
I followed several online HTML5 tutorials to increase the knowledge to build my own websites, also with use of Adobe Fireworks. This was new for me and I liked it. It is not on the original code based way but more on a visual way. This is real handy when you need a sketch up for a website or a not so important website.
Of course I've been to the Dutch Design Week to increase the awareness of my social part but even more to train my attitude to think about other ideas, to evaluate them, to see new markets and analyze that. It is mostly an training about a vision I have that if you stay up to date with the newest innovations you have to do less research to come up with new ideas for a project and you can act quicker.
When we we're shooting this video there were several questions to us if we had a business card or something to get in touch with us because maybe they had an order to make another video. Also from our coach and director of Out of Office I've learned that you can become a brand of yourself. This is handy for promotion and to be recognized.
This taught me how to analyze existing innovative companies in certain markets. After that to abstract their most valuable parts and reflect it on the situation in a different scenario at a different company. It also made me realize how a research can be done if you are a company and you need new information. This is a great way to get new insights as a company, ask students to come up with ideas and information cause you can't be in every market and up to date with every innovation.
When we started with this project we started to do some research. I didn't liked this way of working. I've learned in the expert meeting User focus and Perspective that there are 2 types of people those who start reading the design brief and come up with an idea and those who first need to do some research and then generate an idea. The research is limiting me in the start, if I want to look for things that aren't existing the research is obstructing. Offcourse after you've got an idea you have to do some research about the idea to support it.
Furthermore in a lecture about ideas and concepts I learned the main difference about prototypes and a design. I think it is important to know this cause you have to know what you're talking about. A prototype is something to make clear how your concept works. A design is about the looks of your concept.
A small ah moment during the project is about a moodboard. A moodboard is perfect to give an overview of your research/location/project but it is also perfect to give you new inspiration throughout the whole project just by looking at it.
At this workshop I've learned how to make a realistic 3d product/environment which is great to use to make a final deliverable when you are unable to make a real object you can feel.
At this assignment I learned how to make a circuit when you have an rough explanation of what It has to do. So abstracting information and analyze it to the right parts you need like a resistor, capacitor, led, transistor, wires, etc. I learned how to write and read an electronic circuit and maybe even more important how to discuss about it with someone who has experience in this field. I noticed that you can do so many things and so many things can go wrong that I have to do many more assignments to get the idea that I understand it all but in the mean time I will ask questions when I don't get it. Something I should do more often.
In our project we used Kinect from the Xbox360 to scan a person in real time and translate the 3d image into a new 3d image of a character. This was all to illustrate the principle of a 3d character in the train of the person sitting next to the window. At the exhibition there were so many people walking around that Kinect sometimes froze and didn't know where user1 was. This did me realize that the final exhibition needs some additional changes to show how things could work in real.
At this assignment you get a complicated situation and out of that situation you have to abstract one clear electrical circuit. Also I had to unravel the principle patterns and mechanics of the parts I was working with. Why do I have to connect an LED in series with a resistor.
Also an understanding of systems and their parameters was new for example the water cooker we had to build. The water cooker used a parameter, the potmeter to set the value when the heating element should turn on or off.
For research we were doing interviews at the street with people and the first one went as planned all the questions were answered. When I looked at the information I realized that the information was useful but not really what I needed. But I couldn't really say what I missed. This learned me that interviewing isn't the hardest part. Setting up the question is. How to come up with all the questions you need to provide you with the right information for the project. This is hard but I now know take your time to set up real careful all the questions otherwise you are wasting your time.
The next interview the same day was more productive but mainly because it wasn't a real interview. I asked a security guard if he had some time for me. His first answer was no but when I walked next to him he started to talk and after 40 minutes I said goodbye and thanked him for the information. This conversation was real useful for my own knowledge about other cultures and how users are using products in different cultures but also for the project. I realized that for an interview it isn't really important how the interview goes as long as you get the information you need.
Also in the video about the lecture of Adam Greenfield he told something about CCTV's. The CCTV's weren't working because they destroyed the existing safety net. People took less responsibility for others because they assumed that the CCTV's we're taking the responsibility for the situation. This realized me that when you want to integrate a product into an existing situation with users you have to be real careful to don't damage the situation and or to make it worse.


Income inequality, the gap between people at the top of the income scale and those at the bottom, has been growing bigger in the U.S. for several decades. And if you break down income inequality by race and ethnicity, large variations emerge, even within some of those groups. The Pew Research Center crunched the income numbers from 1970 to 2016, and found that Asians now have the widest inequality gap — with higher income-inequality than blacks, Hispanics and whites. So what is driving this disparity?

Press Release: New Year - New Manufacturing Startups Calling Allentown Home
|In Press Releases
|By Scott Unger
Three Early Stage Businesses to Join Bridgeworks Enterprise Center in 2014
Allentown, Pennsylvania – The Allentown Economic Development Corporation (AEDC), following its December 19th Board of Directors meeting, announced that three early stage manufacturing companies will join the business incubation program, housed at the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center, in early 2014.
"We are very excited to bring these companies into our business incubation program as we kick-off our 25th Silver Anniversary year," said Scott Unger, Executive Director of AEDC. "These three diverse ventures have very promising business plans and represent the next generation of manufacturing for Allentown and the Lehigh Valley."
The companies represent a wide range of manufacturing specialties.
Gonzo Pockets manufactures specialized mesh for lacrosse stick heads using a proprietary rubberized coating. Brothers Lou and Desi Gonzalez, both highly successful and recognized collegiate lacrosse players, founded the company after being frustrated by products that were currently on the market. They teamed up with Naval Academy graduate and proven entrepreneur Tom Schmitt, who already had startup experience of his own, to get the Gonzo Mesh prototype finalized and distributed into more than 100 specialty lacrosse stores across the U.S. and Canada in just nine months. Gonzo Pockets will move into the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center in January.
Tom explains, "Lacrosse players are passionate about getting any edge they can. Our mesh is one of those advantages. The lacrosse community has embraced us and we look forward to our local community sharing in our success as we expand. Collaborating with other entrepreneurs and having the wealth of manufacturing and business knowledge Bridgeworks provides at our fingertips is such a great opportunity for us. We are proud to be invited to join the Bridgeworks business community."
HiJinx Brewing Company, currently based in South Whitehall Township, was literally started in a garage. By carefully complying with the township's home-based business laws, founders Curt Keck and Chris Becker have been able to launch the nano-brewery and get their beers into more than a dozen Lehigh Valley bars and restaurants. In just over one year, Keck and Becker have squeezed everything they can out of their equipment and are unable to keep up with the demand for their beers. A new 10-barrel brewing system will be purchased and installed at the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center, fulfilling the founders' lifelong dream of owning their own production brewery.
"We chose the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center because we feel that the resources provided, along with the access to professional guidance, will help us grow our business," explained Keck. "The wisdom of seasoned business professionals will help us to avoid common pitfalls and unforeseen problems.
Zzyzx Polymers (pronounced ziz-icks), the third company to be joining the incubator, has secured exclusive rights to nearly 20 patents revolving around new technology to create plastic compounds. The founders have applied for funding from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania to further develop their revolutionary processes. The company's goal is to commercialize its novel mixing technology to create plastics with unique properties that no one else can make. The company also hopes to disrupt the recycling industry by reusing plastics that today get sent to landfills by other waste management companies.
"When we started our company, we had a founder in Silicon Valley, one in Chicago and one in Pennsylvania," explained Mike Janse, CEO of Zzyzx Polymers. "There were good reasons to establish manufacturing in any of those locations, but the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center and Ben Franklin Technology Partners program made Allentown an easy choice."
"AEDC will spend the next several years providing mentorship and training to these companies in a concentrated effort to have them grow rapidly into profitable and self-sustaining organizations that are creating jobs for Lehigh Valley residents," explained Anthony Durante, Economic Development Specialist at AEDC, who is responsible for the business incubation program.
"Our job is to recruit new ventures, help to grow them and then launch them back into the Lehigh Valley over a span of four to seven years so that we can do it again with another batch of startups," said Durante. "If we, as a business incubator, do our jobs well, the incubator should be creating a steady stream of successful companies for the community."
Over the course of its 25-year existence, the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center has done just that. Founded in the refurbished Mack Trucks Plant 4A in 1989, the business incubator has helped launch 44 companies in Allentown that have created more than 285 jobs. It is a member of the Ben Franklin Business Incubator Network. Today, some of its current incubator clients include ColdEdge Technologies, MTS Ventures and The Colony Meadery, its most recent addition.
About the Allentown Economic Development Corporation
AEDC is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to a mission of identifying, encouraging, developing and managing strategic business opportunities for the benefit of Allentown, its citizens, and the Lehigh Valley.
Our goal is to improve vacant and underutilized properties by assisting manufacturers, business owners and entrepreneurs in obtaining the resources and opportunities they require for success in the City of Allentown. AEDC offers access to financing and incentives, assistance with brownfield remediation, and support for growing businesses within the City.

Does your mascara contain high levels of mercury?
Are you unwittingly buying toxic make-up? Now, you can check your pile of eyeliners, shadows, blushers and mascara against the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety database.
Mercury is considered particularly toxic to the developing brain during pregnancy, infancy and childhood. The use of mercury compounds is banned in all cosmetics except those used around the eyes, where levels are limited to 65 parts per million (ppm).
In EWG's complex hazard rating system, you can score your beauty products for their hazardous potential.
One reason products may rate a high hazard score in the EWG database is that they contain a chemical that is thought to be cancer-causing or endocrine-disrupting.
