Women building resilience
by Miguel Arestegui | Giorgio Madueño | Miluska Ordoñez |
In the Andean community San Miguel de Viso a group of women recover a vital space for their people: the community tree nursery. With ingenuity they confront the challenges brought by climate change and water-related hazards in an area where agriculture is the core livelihood.
I would like my community to be wooded to allow a better quality of life, because I understand from the internet that trees call for rain.
Jessica Villagomez, a community member in San Miguel de Viso.
Jessica's concern for water availability is shared by many communities high in the Peruvian Andes. The situation in the Peruvian countryside is increasingly challenging due to changes in weather patterns, degradation of natural resources, and increased risk from extreme events.
San Miguel de Viso, is located in the San Mateo district, Huarochirí province, and provides an example of this situation. Community members mainly sustain themselves through small-scale agriculture (followed by livestock and commerce), in an inherently sustainable way. Still, the quantity and quality of water available to them has been seriously affected by the loss of the glaciers that formerly fed their water supply and this has been further worsened by changing rainfall patterns, and pollution, natural and artificial, from activities such as mining.
Additionally, the community has repeatedly been affected by landslides in the Mayo ravine, causing loss of crops, damage to water supply canals, reduction of pasture for animals, and blocking access roads. The latter is particularly challenging since it results in the isolation of the community – putting their food security at serious risk and eroding their overall quality of life.
The challenging environment has driven increased migration from the countryside to the city. The vast majority of young people have decided to leave San Miguel de Viso, leaving behind an adult population that tries to maintain ancestral and community practices. It is within this population, especially its women, that the hope of the community lies.
A group of women has decided to respond to these challenges by recovering a vital space for the people: the community nursery. The nursery was originally set up in 2000 by the Ministry of Agriculture, through the National Program for the Management of Hydrographic Basins and Soil Conservation (PRONAMACHCS). The decision to restore it arises from their relationship with Practical Action who as part of the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance, and through the use of the Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC) have identified a set of activities that aim to build community resilience against flooding, one of the most important is restoration of the community environment.
Faced with complex challenges, the FRMC guides us on the right path to propose this type of comprehensive intervention, aimed at obtaining multiple benefits and co-benefits.
Lessons for a safer future
The initiative is part of a larger intervention, the Field School for Climate Resilience – a space for interaction and exchange of learning. The objective of the school is to strengthen resilience in San Miguel de Viso through recovery and conservation measures for fragile ecosystems, by diversifying what crops are grown to reduce risks associated with reliability on monoculture, and possibly reduce the risks and impacts of landslides though green infrastructure.
The communal nursery is the first activity of the Field School for Climate Resilience. Some objectives of the nursery are:
Produce native plants that benefit the recharge of aquifers and the reduction of risk against heavy rains and climate change.
Propagation of forest species native to the community for afforestation and reforestation in deteriorated areas.
To develop participants' capacities using techniques of facilitation, action and education, recovering previous knowledge and enriching with new techniques.
Production of tenthousand seedlings each year.
Diversify production and exit monoculture.
Increase the economic income of the participating people.
Replicate the spread of species in home gardens.
Although men and women of different ages are participating in the project, it is the women in the community who have taken on leadership to manage the nursery. Since the idea stage they have shown commitment and have motivated the rest of the community, reiterating the usefulness and benefits of the nursery.
The nursery has value to the community, it allow learning about different plants and what they can be used for. Many community members do not know that having plantations, whether tree or fruit, is good for our well-being.
Jessica Villagomez
This is particularly important because, despite the fact that women in the community participate in activities such as planting and harvesting crops, raising and selling animals, and community assemblies, many times their role is invisible when making decisions. Likewise, when landslides collapse access roads, causing the isolation of the community, it is the women who face extra effort to provide food for their families.
These lived experiences of people of different genders must be taken into account when proposing activities for the community. This intervention seeks to achieve a series of social benefits that are sensitive to differences in experiences between genders:
Increase leadership, participation and decision-making capacity among women in the community.
Empower women through the use and management of the nursery.
Create communication and collaboration mechanisms between communities.
Promote a space for collaboration and companionship.
Allow for individuals of different ages and genders to interact beyond established social norms.
The Ministry of Agriculture is supporting this initiative through the Rural Agricultural Productive Development Program (AGRO RURAL). The intervention has helped strengthen relations between the community and the Municipality of San Mateo, which is also providing facilities for the nursery. If you want to collaborate in any way, personally or as an institution, and for further information you can contact miluska.ordonez@practicalaction.org .
An approach to the emergency
Finally, it is necessary to ask the question: how will the COVID-19 pandemic affect these communities? At the end of March 2020, the possible impacts are still uncertain. What we do know is that people in more vulnerable situations will be hit the hardest. The challenges already facing these communities will undermine their resilience and exacerbate the impacts of the pandemic.
The Field School for Climate Resilience, like all our work as part of the Alliance, proposes systematic change, rather than a short-term response. To the Alliance resilience is the ability of a community to pursue its development despite shocks. We might not have seen this specific shock coming but the resilience we're helping communities to build will allow them to cope better not only with floods but hopefully with the pandemic too.

The most iconic figure in the WWE hanged his gloves yesterday night at Wrestlemania 33. The Undertaker who has been known as The Dead Man finally put up a performance that signified an end to a stellar career that saw him rise to become one of the most feared wrestlers.
The Undertaker wrestled Roman Reigns in his final match which saw him lose to the latter. The loss was only his second almost two decades. The Undertaker has been a favorite among many wrestling fans who loved his performances and fights. His trademark entrances in the ring sometimes using a coffin scared most but they loved him the same.
It is an end of an era to him as he showed yesterday. Wrestlemania 33 ended on an emotional note as The Undertaker took off his gloves and his iconic hat and left them in the ring. This was a sign that he was finally taking a bow.
According to The Huffington Post magazine there were rumors that The Undertaker would retire after his latest injuries and dismal performances that showed the 52 year old was past it. His loss to Roman Reigns only confirmed that it was time to end his wrestling career.
Fans worldwide commented on the retirement through Twitter using the Hashtag #ThanksTaker. We will miss the legend that was The Undertaker.

Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association
SUPRA is an independent representative association providing advice, advocacy and support services to the postgraduate students at the University of Sydney.
Formed in 1970 by Science postgrads, SUPRA was formally acknowledged by the University of Sydney Senate in 1974 after years of debate. Because most postgraduate students at the time were research students, the Students' Representative Council (SRC) considered them to be junior academics and had thus declined to admit them as members. SUPRA is the only organisation that has ever represented postgraduate students at the University of Sydney.
In 1979 SUPRA became a founding member of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations (CAPA), the peak body representing Australian postgraduate students.
Over the years SUPRA has grown from a small volunteer based organisation to a much bigger one. SUPRA now employs a number of staff to assist elected representatives in the work of representing the interests of postgraduate students at all levels within the University and support individual postgraduates through the course of their study.
SUPRA aims:
a. To promote the interests of the University's postgraduate students.
b. To consult the postgraduate students of the University and make appropriate representations on their behalf. It shall seek to defend their needs and uphold their aspirations at all times.
c. To provide independent representation, advocacy and advice to postgraduate students of the University of Sydney.
General Practice Students Network
GPSN seeks to foster interest in General Practice and promote it as a specialty of choice. Each year, our society puts on a variety of awesome events, ranging from practical skills workshops, to trivia and careers nights. Our society offers you opportunities to improve your clinical skills such as suturing, plastering, and otoscopy, along with many others. Just as a taste, last year we held an interactive heart murmur session facilitated by an Emergency Consultant, to further student understanding of rheumatic heart disease and its impact on Aboriginal Health. You will also get to hear from many GPs with decades of experience, who will give you a glimpse into the life of a General Practitioner and the challenges that it encompasses.
North American Medical Students' Association
We are a student-run organisation that helps to inform all medical students (especially those who hail from North America) about their options for practicing after graduation, what to expect during and after university, and most importantly, how to prepare to put yourself in the best position for elective placements and residency programs.
We hold regular meetings and information sessions (most months of the academic year) for all members. Presentations cover topics such as Electives, Residency, North American entrance exams (e.g. USMLE, MCCEE), and even a night to hear the stories, tips, and tricks from Sydney Medical School alumni who are now practicing in North America and Australia. Throughout the year, we also have experienced students teach USMLE preparation lectures to get you ready for the big day (as well as shine on the wards at your hospital and in PBL)!
In March, we have an introductory presentation to get you orientated to everything that NAMSA has to offer. Here you'll be able to sign up for a small fee, which includes access to all meetings/presentations (and free pizza every time for members!) for the next four years of your medical school.
Level Medicine
Currently, the medical profession still confronts issues of gender inequality within its ranks. Across specialties, and among hierarchies, patterns of gender inequality persist. We can no longer sit and wait for change: active and dedicated pursuit of gender equality in medicine is required.
At Level, we're certainly aware that there are a host of wonderful doctors and organisations already committed to improving gender imbalance in medicine. However, what we aim to do is provide a place to inspire women and men to talk about ongoing gender disparity in the medical profession and to advocate for and have a robust discussion around gender equality and gender roles among doctors.
Sydney University Critical Care Society
Sydney University Critical Care Society (SUCCS) aims to facilitate medical student engagement and enthusiasm for all things critical care, including Emergency, Intensive Care, Anaesthetics, Trauma and retrieval medicine.
As a student initiated and governed society founded in 2017, SUCCS hosts lectures and workshops to promote and encourage education in the field of Critical Care medicine, particularly through small group simulation training. SUCCS also runs the annual Emergency Medicine Challenge (EMC) that pits teams from each clinical school against each other in mock clinical scenarios where the winning school claims the highest honour and bragging rights for the year.

May 09 More on Policy and Legislation
President Trump calls for an end to surprise medical bills
AHIP wants reimbursement based on market rates determined by contracted amounts paid by insurers to similar doctors in a geographic area.
President Donald Trump on Thursday called for an end to surprise billing, and said an announcement would be coming out within the next two weeks that would be more comprehensive.
"We are going to be announcing something I think over the next two weeks that's going to bring transparency to all of it. And I think in a way it's going to be as important as a healthcare bill, it's going to be something really special," Trump said, after looking over a $17,000 bill for a urine sample that was brought forward by a constituent.
"In an effort to address surprise billing, what we do is all kinds of health insurance: large group, small group, individual markets, everything; we want everything included," he said. "No one in America should be bankrupted unexpectedly by healthcare costs that are absolutely out of control."
Trump said what was coming over the next two weeks would have a bigger impact than a very good healthcare bill and bigger than when his administration took the individual mandate away from Obamacare. It is being drawn up now in a bipartisan effort.
Surprise medical bills hurt patients, providers and insurers.
Patients receive them when they get care, often unknowingly, from an out-of-network provider.
America's Health Insurance Plans has signed on to a letter urging Congress to pass legislation that would prohibit doctors from sending a surprise medical bill to patients in cases of emergency, involuntary care, or instances where the patient had no choice in their provider. AHIP is also urging Congress to require providers to inform patients of their doctors' network status.
AHIP is asking the government to base provider reimbursement on market rates determined by reasonable, contracted amounts paid by health insurers to similar doctors in a geographic area or a percentage of Medicare.
The reimbursement rates should not increase premiums or impact consumer access, AHIP said.
These protections should apply to all health plans, including self-funded plans governed by ERISA, so consumers are protected regardless of coverage type. Complex, costly and opaque arbitration processes, which keep consumers in the middle and lead to higher premiums, should be avoided.
Trump's comments follow a final rule released Wednesday by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar mandating pharmaceutical companies to post the list prices for drugs that cost over $35 a month, in television ads.
The price and transparency initiatives are based on the President's Blueprint released in 2018 to lower prescription drug prices and healthcare costs.
Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal, a Democrat, and Ranking Member Kevin Brady, a Republican said, "We are committed to working across party lines and with the White House to find a bipartisan solution to protect patients from surprise billing."
"Laying out principles for Congress to address surprise billing is another major step in President Trump's efforts to deliver on this commitment: You, as the American patient, have the right to know what a prescription drug or healthcare service costs before you receive it," Azar said. "We aim to address surprise billing in a way that will protect American patients from this abusive practice and lay a foundation for a system where the patient is put at ease and in control."

Khoi and San burn ID's in bold demand for recognition
By Afikile Lugunya - Jul 18, 2018
A group of Khoi and San residents commemorated what would have been the late former President Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday by burning their Identity Documents on Wednesday at Port Elizabeth's Donkin Hill.
They said that they no longer want to be classified as 'coloured people' anymore.
Despite South Africa attaining democracy in 1994, the Khoi-San say that they have no reason to celebrate as long as they are classified as coloureds while their language is not officially recognised.
There has been rising discontentment among various Khoi and San communities as they also feel they have been neglected by government despite history showing them as the first inhabitants of the land in Southern Africa.
Speaking to RNEWS, Chief Gaob Crawford Fraser said that "According to this government, we are still not born in this country because according to the Population Registration Act (Act No. 30 of 1950), a coloured person means a person, who is not a white person or a native - and a native means a person born in a particular place."
He added; "The apartheid government classified us as people who were not born in South Africa and this government continues with the laws of the apartheid government and say that we are not born in South Africa."
By burning their IDs, Chief Fraser said that they wanted to show the government that they mean business when they asked that they not be classified as 'coloured' as they are not coloured, but Africans.
When asked if they'd rather be called Khoi and San, Chief Fraser said: "We can't be called Khoi and San because that is, who we are, the word Khoi means 'human being' so I can't be called 'human being' because I am already a human being.
"We want to be called Africans for the sake of the population registration; we want to be referred to as the first indigenous people of Southern Africa."
Chief Fraser added that they have been marginalised and discriminated against for long.
"I don't want to live like that anymore and we want the government to understand that and if I don't want to be discriminated against, I want to be respected and treated with dignity as a fellow citizen of this country because 'coloured' means you are not a fellow citizen of this country."
They plan to visit government offices to inform officials that they must change the details on their system.
"On Thursday, we will go to Home Affairs to re-apply for new identity documents that do not label us coloured," he said.
"If they refuse, then we are prepared to stage a sleep in at Home Affairs until they change the classification."
Although there were a few Khoi and San, who came to join the protest, one of the organisers, Christian Martin, said that not everyone was in prison when Nelson Mandela was arrested.
"As I remember, it was not the whole of South Africa that was in prison before 1994, it was Mandela and a few others - so numbers are just numbers.
"We are representing all Khoi's that could not make it here," he described.
Meanwhile, the Chief of the Nama in Eastern Cape, Chief Vernon Hennings, said, "70% of the Xhosa language comes from our language and 50% of the Zulu language comes from our language, yet our language is not officially recognised."
Janine Human added; "We are the oldest race in Africa, the first people in Africa and the world, but still we are fighting for recognition. It is time the government give us what we want because we are from this country, we didn't come here by fate."

Firefighters responded to an-authorised burn off in Devon Meadows on Wednesday 10 April.
CFA firefighters were called to the blaze, which covered an area of about 15 metres by 10 metres in size at the North Road property just after 5pm.
Six trucks from Pearcedale, Devon Meadows, and Cranbourne battled the fire which was contained about 6.45pm.
Devon Meadows fire brigade Captain Andrew Swain said the fire, believed to have been a pile of timber, was well alight when crews arrived at the rear of the property.
"When we turned into North Road we could actually see the flames over the top of the building," he said.
"He must be on a few acres. It wasn't going to go anywhere; a couple of his workers had hoses keeping a few things damp," he said.
Mr Swain said the fire had been lit while fire restrictions were still in place.
"He must have some sort of demolition business. He brings a lot of his wood and all that home, and decided to light it up thinking the (fire) restrictions were off," he said.
Mr Swain said crews pulled apart the rubble to tackle the fire with the help of the owner's tractor.
Devon Meadows brigade were also called to burn-offs on the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne and Browns Road in Devon Meadows on the same evening.
Despite being April and cooler temperatures, Mr Swain reminded everyone that burn-offs were illegal during fire restrictions.
According to the Casey Council website, CFA declared the fire danger period would run until 1 May: "During this period, they restrict the use of fire in the community to stop bush fires from starting," it said.
Anyone wishing to burn on their property during this period must apply for a fire permit with the CFA.

Unhurried Conversations are free and open to the public. They are hosted by unhurried enthusiasts in different parts of the world. We also use them in work with organisations.
We pick an everyday object, like a sugar bowl, and whoever holds it gets to talk. And everyone else listens. Which means the speaker won't get interrupted. (And they can hold the object and not speak… so they can hold silence until they're ready to speak.) When the speaker has finished, they return the object to the table, and someone else then takes a turn. Sometimes there are long pauses between speakers, sometimes not.
Unhurried Conversations locations and hosts around the world. Scroll using the arrows to the right. Click the city to find full details.
If you're interested in hosting where you live, we'd be happy to offer advice - get in touch.
The conversations often move between light topics and more personal and profound ones. And in the end, we often find that all these are connected. Sometimes there are long silences, sometimes not.
There are sometimes concerns expressed at the start of the process. "What if someone grabs the object and talks for an hour?" Well, we find that doesn't actually happen... but if people talk for a long time we have lots of choices about how to respond. Generally, the best thing is to relax, listen, and be interested in what is happening.
When people know they aren't going to be interrupted, they worry less and express themselves more clearly. Also, when people really feel listened to, it seems to increase their focus and the sense that their speech has meaning. They can slow down, and they tend not to repeat themselves. Unhurried conversations are rich and complex, with much less of the battling for attention we often experience.
Johnnie describes his experience hosting them here. He has also written this short Guide to Hosting an Unhurried Conversation.

Shooting for Success
Pelicans revert to their old ways on offense with moderate success
It isn't pretty yet, but it is successful.
By David Fisher@Fish_TBW Dec 31, 2015, 6:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Pelicans revert to their old ways on offense with moderate success
Alvin Gentry was brought on to modernize the New Orleans Pelicans offense. Space and pace would rule the day as the Pelicans whirred about with brilliant passing and ball movement around Anthony Davis as the fulcrum. High hopes were dashed as injuries ruined training camp and the first 12 games of the season; the Pelicans went 1-11 and obituaries were already being penned.
Since that time the Pels are 9-10 and have shown brief flashes of reaching those expectations. Included in those nine victories are triumphs over the San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Houston Rockets. However, when things have gone poorly it has been an utter disaster. Blowout losses to the Clippers, Jazz, Celtics, Suns, and Magic have kept New Orleans from building any kind of momentum to climb out of the depths of a suddenly mediocre Western Conference.
Offensively this team has demonstrated significant improvement, although not along the desired course. Sets progress haphazardly as players point and shrug at each other. Gentry called a timeout just five seconds after a timeout ended because Tyreke Evans failed to execute the designed play in crunch time against the Miami Heat on Christmas Day.
Despite all of that the Pelicans are fielding the 9th best offense in the league since November 20th. New Orleans is accomplishing that in large part thanks to attacking the basket and finally making open shots.
Caveman basketball
In early November I said the Pelicans offense was going to be fine. They were creating open looks for their very best shooters and that would logically result in quality results. Sure enough the Pelicans eFG% increased from 52.25% on open threes in the first 12 games to 58.66% in the last 19. Ryan Anderson (41% from deep, 44.7% when open) and Eric Gordon (39.1% from three, 40.6% when open) have predictably turned it on.
However, the big change on offense is where the Pelicans are shooting from. In the first 12 games this team shot jump shots by the truck load and failed to attack the basket. No more.
Above Break
Corner 3
Thru Nov 19 30.54% (1.19) 13.68% (0.73) 24.37% (0.85) 23.80% (1.08) 7.61% (0.87) 99.8 (21st)
After Nov 20 35.12% (1.11) 11.26% (0.86) 26.23% (0.80) 20.15% (1.13) 7.23% (1.09) 104.3 (9th)
That is a pretty significant increase in attempts at the rim, even though the Pelicans have become less efficient at converting those looks. Shots at the basket, even converted poorly compared to league average, turn into more points than most open jump shots. New Orleans is not attempting shots at the basket approaching last year's incredible 38.93%; largely due to a significant decline in offensive rebounding. Last season's version collected 27.1% of their own misses, good for 4th in the league. This season, even during the good offense spurt in the last 19 games, is posting the worst offensive rebounding rate in the league at just 20%.
Passing without assisting
Even with all the dribbling the Pelicans are actually passing the ball more in the last 19 games overall. Those passes, however, have been much less effective.
Passes per Game
Potential Assists
Avg Speed Off
Thru Nov 19 99.8 (21st) 110.0 (30th) -10.3 (29th) 100.18 (12th) 307.8 (16th) 43.3 (17th) 4.71 (6th)
After Nov 20 104.3 (7th) 106.5 (26th) -2.3 (19th) 97.76 (13th) 315.0 (9th) 41.5 (23rd) 4.64 (6th)
Simply counting passes is not enough. Those passes are turning into assists less frequently as the Pelicans resort to more isolation. Tyreke Evans leads the team in isolation frequency; over 19% of his total used possessions are considered isolation. Already Evans has used 46 isolation possessions which is second on the team to AD's 57. Davis has played in TWICE as many games.
Those Evans isolation possessions are terribly inefficient as well; scoring just 34 total points. Jrue Holiday, who leads the team in such efficiency, has scored 53 points on 37 possessions. Nine fewer possessions and 19 more points. Of course, Holiday currently leads the league in isolation efficiency by a significant margin.
Still not pretty, but effective
The Pelicans are not playing the way Alvin Gentry wants them to play. They are not executing the kind of free wheeling style fans, bloggers, and national writers alike expected after a summer of hope. Like last year the process is ugly but the results appear to be an offense that could finish in the top 10 of the league.

In today's look back, I'm going to Arches. I've been there a few times, but one of the best visits included the hike to Delicate Arch in 2010. This was back when I was still pretty inexperienced with hiking, so I remember the trek getting to the arch pretty vividly. We hiked over expansive red rock surfaces, across streams of melting snow, and through snow that still existed in the shade.
Once at the arch, you realize that rock formation you saw from distance is HUGE. It's overwhelmingly large, actually. Stand there, at Delicate Arch, you feel small in only a way the best things in nature can do. The red rock swirls around, there are formations in the distance, and mountains through the clouds. We were lucky, the sun came out and it didn't rain/snow on us like it was off in the distance.
A year prior, my friend and I camped at Arches NP and hiked to many of the other popular landscapes, but the hike to Delicate Arch always sticks with me. For more information on the hike, history, etc, check out this link to the NPS website.
Where have you hiked that left a particularly memorable impression?

FEELS Share Video For Find A Way + Start European Tour This Week! Mar 6, 2019
FEELS today shared the video to Find A Way, the latest song to be taken from their recent, much acclaimed second album, Post Earth.
Talking about the track, the band said: So much is at stake right now! We're all wondering what's gonna happen. Scientists have all these grim predictions for the future if we continue down the path we're headed...there's still hope but humanity really has to step it up and make some drastic changes. Will we?
Find A Way is the fourth song released from the new album, following Awful Need ("quietly anthemic" -- Clash Magazine), Car ("The track has a rebellious attitude" -- Stereogum), and Post Earth and follows some stand-out praise from the likes of The LA Times, The Financial Times and Pitchfork amongst others.
The track was produced by Tim Green (the former guitarist of punk iconoclasts Nation of Ulysses, who has worked with Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Joanna Newsom, and Jawbreaker, among others).
Their latest album, Post Earth, is a call to arms, interspersed with frustration and hope. "It wasn't intentional to write a politically charged record," says bassist Amy Allen, who constitutes FEELS with Laena Geronimo (guitar/vocals), Lay (guitar/vocals), and Michael Perry Rudes (drums). "But the way the world is functioning right now made it impossible to write about anything else. We all need to figure it out; we're running out of time. The golden age is over."
Maybe FEELS did not start their second album with a conceptual agenda, but they definitely intended to speak out: "If you have any kind of platform, you should use it for good," Lay states. Geronimo continues, "If our wildest dreams came true, the album would sound exciting to people while also inspiring awareness and action against hate, prejudice, greed, the destruction of our environment…apathy's not cool and toppling oppression could be fun if we do it together!"
Finally, having completed a short U.S. tour in December of last year and most recently an incendiary home-town album launch show at the Echo in Los Angeles, the band head over to Europe and the U.K. this week to begin an extensive run of shows before which they play a Marc Riley session on 6Music this evening. They then return to the U.S. for a tour with Ex Hex between April 17th – May 5th.

Recent praise for Post Earth: A precision Sleater Kinney-ish rewiring of new wave guitar with cool, no-wave delivery – 4/5 Mojo
The LA quartet's second album is more musically focused and emotionally unsettled, its once shaggy sound sculpted into post-punk precision.-- Pitchfork, 8/10
Geronimo and Lay are standout guitarists, with wide genre interests...and a combustible, captivating stage presence. Rudes and Allen lock into assertive rhythms that nod to the Stooges and Black Sabbath, with detours into dreamier Cure terrain and, occasionally, pure grinding noise. -- The Los Angeles Times
They've crafted a terrific out and out rock record – 4/5 DIY

Carbon budgets unattainable without bioenergy
Carbon budgets will be very difficult to achieve without the use of bioenergy, and the successful development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology, according to a review of bioenergy by the UK's Committee on Climate Change (CCC). However, the Committee warns bioenergy use must be limited to ensure sustainability.
The review concludes that a 10% share of bioenergy in total energy could be required to meet the UK's 2050 emissions target, compared to the current share of 2%. Bioenergy would ideally be used with CCS, which would allow for the removal of carbon from the atmosphere and for higher emissions reductions to be achieved. The review suggests that a 10% share in 2050 could be feasible within sustainability limits, but any higher than this could be unsafe given sustainability concerns – and even at the 10% level, there may be trade-offs with wider environmental and social objectives.
"The extent to which bioenergy should contribute to economy decarbonisation is highly controversial," says David Kennedy, Chief Executive of the Committee on Climate Change. "Our analysis shows that there is a crucial role for bioenergy in meeting carbon budgets, but within strict sustainability limits – and trade-offs with wider environmental and social objectives may be needed."
Stronger regulation and CCS needed
In the report the Committee makes five key recommendations to the Government:
Regulatory frameworks should be strengthened to ensure sustainability of bioenergy. Under current approaches, use of bioenergy could result in emissions increases rather than emission reductions; particularly due to indirect land use impacts (i.e. growth of bioenergy feedstocks can displace agriculture production to carbon rich land). Therefore EU and UK frameworks should be extended to cover these impacts. At the UK level, the emissions benchmark for use of biomass in power generation should be made more stretching (i.e. reduced from 285g CO2/kWh to 200g CO2/kWh). These changes should be complemented by agreement at the climate change conference in Durban on accounting for land use change emissions under the Kyoto Protocol and any successor agreement.
CCS should be demonstrated as a matter of urgency. This is not just because of its potential application with fossil fuels, but because of its use with biomass, which would effectively allow the removal of carbon from the atmosphere. Without CCS, carbon budgets would be significantly more difficult to achieve, and would require currently unforeseen technology breakthroughs or significant behaviour change. Therefore the Government should move forward with its four proposed demonstration projects without delay, setting clear milestones to provide confidence that these will be delivered on time.
Government should regard targets on biofuels and biomass as flexible and should delay setting any new targets until new regulatory arrangements have been put in place to ensure the sustainable supply of bioenergy. In particular, if it becomes clear that sustainable supply is below levels currently targeted, targets should be adjusted downwards, rather than delivered in an unsustainable fashion.
Subsidies should not be provided to new large scale biomass power generation under the Renewables Obligation. Such subsidies, recently proposed by the Government, would be costly and unsustainable. The focus in power generation should be on co-firing and conversion of existing coal plant, and new small-scale generation, using sustainable local bioenergy supplies.
Other low carbon options should be developed given limited sustainable supply of bioenergy. These include energy efficiency improvement, nuclear and wind power generation, electric vehicles (battery and hydrogen) and electric heating. Bioenergy refers to combusting solid, liquid or gas fuels made from biomass feedstocks, which may or may not have undergone some form of conversion process.
The Committee assessed the role of bioenergy both globally and in the UK and considered how it might best be applied to help meet climate targets. The role of bioenergy in climate change mitigation is controversial and the review illustrates significant uncertainties around its use, in relation to:
The emissions reductions that can be achieved through using it – It is hard to account fully for all emissions resulting from the use of bioenergy and often lifecycle emissions are excluded – so higher than anticipated emissions may be produced.
The sustainable supply of bioenergy - Population growth, coupled with increasing wealth, means that in the next decades there will be an increasing need for land to grow food. Growth of bioenergy feedstocks could risk displacing food production. In addition, there are wider environmental and social impacts associated with the use of bioenergy e.g. negative impacts on biodiversity, natural habitats and deforestation.
Taking these concerns into account, the Committee assessed where bioenergy might best be used to support the UK in building a prosperous low-carbon economy, recommending that the following approach be taken across sectors:
Power generation – biomass could be used alongside or instead of coal in existing coal-fired plants. However, any role for new dedicated biomass without CCS should be very limited given its high cost.
Industry – There is scope to significantly reduce emissions from buildings by using wood in construction as this would lock in carbon and replace high emission building materials e.g. concrete, steel and cement. Biomass can also be used in energy-intensive industries, alongside CCS, as an alternative to coal – this would result in negative emissions.
Aviation – Biofuels could play a role through the 2020s and beyond in supporting emission reductions from aviation, but this should not be seen as a 'silver bullet'. Efficiency improvements and constrained demand growth will also be required.
Surface transport –there is likely to be only niche use of biofuels in surface transport, which will predominantly require use of electric technologies to decarbonise cars, vans and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). This underscores the need for Government to support development of electric vehicle markets now.
A range of sensible smaller-scale local uses for bioenergy- this includes using old cooking oil to run buses, making use of food or farm waste in anaerobic digestion plants, or using woodchip from tree surgery waste in biomass boilers.
"Strengthening of regulatory arrangements is required both here and in Europe to provide confidence that bioenergy used over the next decade is sustainable. CCS should be demonstrated and demonstration projects commenced given the crucial role of this technology when used with bioenergy to meet carbon budgets," Kennedy concludes. "The Government should change its approach to supporting new biomass power generation, which as proposed could raise costs with limited carbon benefits."
The findings of the bioenergy review will feed in to the UK Government's new bioenergy strategy and to the Committee's advice on the inclusion of international aviation and shipping in carbon budgets which will be published in Spring 2012.

One day, according to ancient Greek legend, a poor peasant called Gordius arrived with his wife in a public square of Phrygia in an ox cart. As chance would have it, so the legend continues, an oracle had previously informed the populace that their future king would come into town riding in a wagon. Seeing Gordius, therefore, the people made him king. In gratitude, Gordius dedicated his ox cart to Zeus, tying it up with a highly intricate knot - - the Gordian knot. Another oracle -- or maybe the same one, the legend is not specific, but oracles are plentiful in Greek mythology -- foretold that the person who untied the knot would rule all of Asia.
The problem of untying the Gordian knot resisted all attempted solutions until the year 333 B.C., when Alexander the Great -- not known for his lack of ambition when it came to ruling Asia -- cut through it with a sword. "Cheat!" you might cry. And although you might have been unwise to have pointed it out in Alexander's presence, his method did seem to go against the spirit of the problem. Surely, the challenge was to solve the puzzle solely by manipulating the knot, not by cutting it.
But wait a minute. Alexander was no dummy. As a former student of Aristotle, he would have been no stranger to logical puzzles. After all, the ancient Greek problem of squaring the circle is easy to solve if you do not restrict yourself to the stipulated tools of ruler and compass. Today we know that the circle-squaring problem as posed by the Greeks is indeed unsolvable. Using ruler and compass you cannot construct a square with the same area as a given circle. Perhaps Alexander was able to see that the Gordian knot could not be untied simply by manipulating the rope.
If so, then the knot surely could not have had any free ends. The two ends of the rope must have been spliced together. This, of course, would have made it a knot in the technical sense of modern mathematicians.
Now, when modern topologists study knots, they assume the knots are constructed out of perfectly flexible, perfectly stretchable, infinitely thin string. Under those assumptions, if the Gordian knot were really an unkotted loop, then it would have been possible to untie it, i.e., to manipulate it so it was in the form of a simple loop that does not cross itself.
Thus, the only thing that could make it absolutely necessary to resort to a sword to untie it would be that the physical thickness of the actual rope prevented the necessary manipulations being carried out. In principle, this could have been done. The rope could have been thoroughly wetted prior to tying, then dried rapidly in the sun after tying to make it shrink.
This is the explanation proposed recently by physicist Piotr Pieranski of the Poznan University of Technology in Poland and the biologist Andrzej Stasiak of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. Physicists are interested in knots because the latest theories of matter postulate that everything is made up of tightly coiled (and maybe knotted) loops of space-time, and biologists are interested in knots because the long, string-like molecules of DNA coil themselves up tightly to fit inside the cell.
Pieranski and Stasiak have been studying knots that can be constructed from real, physical material, that has, in particular, a fixed diameter. This restriction makes the subject very different from the knot theory traditionally studied by mathematicians. Pieranski has developed a computer program, called SONO (Shrink-On-No-Overlaps) to simulate the manipulation of such knots.
To construct Pieranski's knot, you fold a circular loop of rope and tie two multiple overhand knots in it. You then pass the end loops over the entangled domains. Then you shrink the rope until it is tight. With this structure, there is not enough rope to allow the manipulations necessary to unravel it.
Further details about Pieranski's Gordian Knot construction will be given in the paper Gordian Unknots, by Pieranski, Stasiak, and Sylwester Przybyl, currently in preparation.


When Adobe introduced Experience Design as a Public Preview, the company accomplished two rather amazing feats at the same time. First, they staked out a space in the emerging prototyping software market. Second, they created an opportunity for users to play with a "work-in-progress" and is letting the users influence that progress. Now that the application has been available for a few months, We thought it would be a good time to share some Experience Design tricks, tips, and techniques.
But first, you may be wondering what is meant by Prototyping Software. Among the major players in this space are Proto.io, Principle, UXPin, Atomic.io, Experience Design, and InVision. Unlike applications such as Sketch 3, Photoshop and Illustrator where static designs are produced, these graphical editors introduce interactivity, motion and other features common in today's mobile and web design space.
With the rise of mobile and the inevitable, laser-like focus on the User, it is no longer sufficient for a designer to whip up a few sketches, pull together a few comps and then release the project or upload it to a web server. The UI/UX workflow has fundamentally changed things. Every step of the process, from identifying the user, sketches, wireframes, mockups, and prototyping are now subject to extensive user testing.
It is that last stage – prototyping - where the pain points are discovered and fixed before the project moves into final production. This is where interactivity, motion, screen transitions and placement of everything on the screen are so critical. Issues and problems can't simply be shown as a static image or explained verbally. After all, these products are for real humans. Rather than move all of that to code, the prototyping process is increasingly being undertaken by graphics software designed just for that purpose. It is easier to fix a mistake, replace an image, rewrite some text, move a button and so on using a visual editor than constantly rewriting and debugging code.
In fact, this software has become a key component in today's "Rapid Prototyping" Design and Development environment.
With that said, let's have some fun with Experience Design.
Select the Ellipse Tool and, with the Option/Alt-Shift keys pressed, draw a circle.
With the circle selected, set the Fill color to FF0000 and the Border to "none" in the properties.
Double-click the circle to show the anchor points. Drag the bottom anchor downwards.
Double-click the selected Anchor Point and the curves are replaced with lines.
Draw another small circle with a white fill and no stroke. Move it into position and select the pin and the circle. In the Align panel at the top of the Properties click the Horizontal Center button and the Pin is created.
Create a new artboard and add your background image.
Select the Rectangle Tool and draw a rectangle over the image. With the Rectangle selected, set the Fill to White and the Stroke to None.
Blur Amount: Adjusts blurriness of the image beneath the shape. The maximum value is +50.
Brightness: Adjusts the highlights and shadows in the image. The Minimum value is -50 and the Maximum value is +50.
Opacity: Affects the transparency of the shape and the visibility of the image under the shape. The values range from 0% to 100%.
If you really want to "switch things up", change the color of the shape and play with the Opacity value to change the "look" of the image.
Use gradients to provovide contrast when images and color get in the way of interface elements.
Create your artboard in XD, add an image and copy and paste in interface elements from the appropriate UI Kit – File >Open UI Kit … – into the artboard. In the above image, the photo makes the Status bar and the App Bar difficult to see.
Select the Rectangle Tool and draw out a rectangle. In the Properties Panel select Fill and select Gradient from the pop down in the Color Picker. Set the gradient colors to Black and White. Set the A value – Opacity- to 60% and the White A value to 0%.
With the Rectangle selected, select Object>Arrange>Send Backward. The interface elements are now visible over the image.
You start with an image and a circle or other shape on the artboard. You can fill the circle with any color. What you don't need to do is to add a stroke color. It will disappear when you create the effect, so why bother. If you do need to stroke the circle, copy it to the clipboard.
Move the circle on to the image and select both the image and the circle. With both objects selected, select Object >Mask with Shape. When you release the mouse, the Avatar is created. From there you can resize it.
If you need to add a stroke, paste the circle sitting on your clipboard onto the artboard. With the copy selected turn off the fill in the Properties and add a stroke color and width. To line them up, select both objects and click the Center Align buttons in the Align options at the top of the properties panel.
If you want to move the photo around in the mask, double click the mask. This will show the image and the mask shape. Click on the image and drag it into position. When you release the mouse, the image will be in its new position inside the mask.
If you need Landscape and Portrait versions of an artboard, duplicate the artboard and, with the duplicate selected, click the landscape button in the Properties panel. The Artboard will change to Landscape orientation. If the Artboard has content on it, click the Artboard's name and the Artboard properties will appear in the Properties Panel.
To add a custom color to the Artboard, and the project for that matter, select the Artboard and click the Fill color chip in the Appearance section of the Properties Panel. Enter the hexadecimal value for the color and click the + sign. The color will be added as a Custom Color. To apply that color elsewhere, select an object and click the Custom Color chip to apply the color.
Artboards can be made vertically scrollable. To do this, select the artboard and change its height either on the Properties Panels or by dragging the bottom of the artboard downwards. In the Scrollable area of the properties panel, select vertical from the pop-down menu and enter the viewport height for the screen. That dashed blue line shows you the bottom of the viewport. To test it, click the Play button and scroll away. To turn off scrolling, select None in the Scrolling pop down.
Experience Design contains a UI Kit for developing iOS, Android and Windows UI's. When you first open them, you may think they are pretty well set in place. Not quite—each of the bits and pieces in those kits is fully editable. Let's find out by building an Android wireframe.
You start by selecting the Artboard tool and selecting Android Mobile in the Google section of the Properties Panel.
Select File> Open UI Kit> Google Material. This opens the Material Design UI Kit. Select the Magnifying Glass and marquee the Screen Guides artboard. We like to start with this one because it gives us the guides for proper on-screen placement of the interface elements. If you click on one of the Blue bars you will see it is locked. Click the lock attached to each of them to unlock it. Marquee the artboard and copy the selection to the clipboard. Return to your document and paste the screen into your artboard.
Click once on the App bar that the top of the artboard. Notice how you can select it. Select Object>Arrange>Bring to Front. Your selection is now above the Screen Guides. This should tell you each of the elements on the screen is able to be edited.
Double click the Status Bar at the top and, in the Properties Panel set the Fill color to 455A64. Double click the App Bar and set its fill to 607D8B. This should tell you each element in a UI kit can be edited to meet the project's color specifications.
What about the icons? Here's how to change their color. Double click the heart to select it. If you look at the Properties Panel, you may assume you can't edit the selection. Not quite. Double click the heart one more time. The Properties open and you change the fill color to FF0000. Repeat this double-double-click trick for the remaining icons and the text.

Dans le domaine du traitement automatique des langues, l'allocation de Dirichlet latente (de l'anglais ) ou LDA est un modèle génératif probabiliste permettant d'expliquer des ensembles d'observations, par le moyen de groupes non observés, eux-mêmes définis par des similarités de données.

Thèmes en LDA

Par exemple, si les observations () sont les mots collectés dans un ensemble de documents textuels (), le modèle LDA suppose que chaque document () est un mélange () d'un petit nombre de sujets ou thèmes ( ), et que la génération de chaque occurrence d'un mot () est attribuable (probabilité) à l'un des thèmes () du document. Le modèle LDA est un exemple de « modèle de sujet » . Il a d'abord été présenté comme un modèle graphique pour la détection de thématiques d'un document, par David Blei, Andrew Ng et Michael Jordan en . Les applications de la LDA sont nombreuses, notamment en fouille de données et en traitement automatique des langues.

Fonctionnement

On fixe un nombre K de thèmes et on cherche à apprendre les thèmes représentés dans chaque document et les mots associés à ces thèmes.

Initialisation

On attribue un thème à chaque mot de chaque document, selon une distribution de Dirichlet sur un ensemble de K thèmes.

, avec  et
 est une distribution de Dirichlet avec un paramètre symétrique  creux ()

Ceci génère un premier « modèle de sujet » : des thèmes présents dans les documents et les mots définissant les thèmes. Ce modèle de sujet est très peu vraisemblable car généré aléatoirement.

Apprentissage

On cherche à améliorer le modèle de sujet généré aléatoirement en initialisation.
Pour cela, dans chaque document, on prend chaque mot et on met à jour le thème auquel il est lié. Ce nouveau thème est celui qui aurait la plus forte probabilité de le générer dans ce document. On fait donc l'hypothèse que tous les thèmes sont corrects, sauf pour le mot en question.

Plus précisément : pour chaque mot () de chaque document (), on calcule deux quantités pour chaque thème () :
  : la probabilité que le document  soit assigné au thème
 : la probabilité que le thème  dans le corpus soit assigné au mot
On choisit alors le nouveau thème t avec la probabilité . Ceci correspond à la probabilité que le thème  génère le mot  dans le document .

En répétant les étapes précédentes un grand nombre de fois, les assignations se stabilisent. On obtient le mélange de thème présent dans chaque document en comptant chaque représentation d'un thème (assigné aux mots du document). On obtient les mots associés à chaque thème en comptant les mots qui y sont associés dans le corpus.

Showtime Beats 'Billions' Lawsuit
Jeff Neumann/SHOWTIME
A performance coach claimed one of the characters is based on her, but the court isn't convinced.
Showtime has convinced a New York federal judge to cancel a lawsuit from a performance coach who claimed that Billions copied her story.
Denise Shull in January sued the network, claiming Maggie Siff's character Wendy Rhoades is based on her book Market Mind Games and that series co-creator Andrew Ross Sorkin asked her to help develop the character and she was never compensated. Showtime asked U.S. District Judge George Daniels to toss the complaint, arguing, among other things that the works and the women are nothing alike.
Daniels on Friday sided with the network — finding that the nature of the works (an academic book that uses fiction to ease reader comprehension and a series about the age old trifecta of money, power and sex) and Shull/Rhoades aren't substantially similar.
"[T]his Court cannot identify any copying," writes the judge, who goes on to explain that in-house performance coaches like the fictional Rhoades aren't rare on Wall Street.
"Although Shull is well known in the performance coaching world, it cannot be said that she can copyright the idea of a female in-house performance coach," writes Daniels, explaining that a finding of copyright infringement would essentially grant Shull a monopoly on the concept and would be even more troubling because "the characters of Denise and Wendy do not resemble one another in the slightest."
The judge also tossed Shull's state law claims because they arise from the alleged copying, and claims for breach of implied-in-fact contract and unjust enrichment because they fail on the merits. (Read the full decision, below.)
A Showtime spokesperson on Monday sent The Hollywood Reporter this statement in response to the decision: "We are pleased that the court agreed with our position all along that Billions did not infringe on Denise Shull's book and that the characters of Wendy Rhoades and Denise Shull 'do not resemble one another in the slightest.'"
Shull on October 14 issued a lengthy statement that said, in part, she intends to appeal the decision "to fight for what is fair for me but also to advocate on behalf of everyone who has had their work co-opted by those with more wealth and power."
Oct. 15, 6:45 a.m. Updated with a statement from Denise Shull.
