Building a Fast Transit Network in Toronto
Getting Transit Expansion Back on Track
March 23: Sheppard East LRT gets Council approval
City Council voted 24-19 to build a Light Rail Transit (LRT) line on Sheppard Ave East at a Special Council Meeting held on March 21 and 22nd, 2012. This was a great success for TEA's 14 month campaign to bring rapid transit into the suburbs.
(Learn more.)
February 8: City Council Supports Revised Transit Expansion Plan
In an unprecedented move, a majority of City Councillors request a special meeting to discuss a revised provincially funded LRT Plan that would bring fast, reliable light rail to Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough, effectively killing the Mayor's subway plan. The special Council meeting starts with TEA hand delivering 24,000 letters and petitions. Council sends a clear signal to the Province that City Hall supports the LRT plan and wants the province to proceed.
January: A Year of Canvassing leads to Results
January 2011 to January 2012
TEA sent out front-line campaigners 5 days a week almost every week of the year to knock on doors across the city and talk to people about the LRT plan. Over 13 months, we knocked on over 80,000 doors and had conversations with at least 40,000 Torontonians.
During these months TEA connected with thousands more Torontonians at over 100 community events. TEA also sent emails to our growing membership asking them to sign our online petition.
Twelve months after our conversations started, two things became clear: the more Torontonians learned about the LRT plan and how it compared to the Mayor's subway plan, the more they wanted the LRT plan; Mayor Ford had failed to present any viable way to fund his subway building ideas and people were beginning to question his plan.
January to April: Volunteers Canvass to Spread the Word
Every Friday for the next 12 weeks, 15-20 TEA volunteers come to the TEA office late in the afternoon to get ready for the next week's information canvassing focusing on Finch West and Sheppard East. New volunteers are given simple training about how to talk to people about transit expansion. Experienced volunteers drop off letters and petition signatures they collected from the previous week, pick up blank petitions and flyers and exchange ideas about how best to connect with people.
During the week, teams get together and connect one on one with people. Some go to a TTC bus stop and talk to people as they wait for their bus. Others, get on the Finch West bus and talk to people about the LRT plan that Mayor Ford cancelled. As a result, thousands of people sign petitions and letters asking City Council to bring back the LRT plan.
This intense information canvassing lasts until early April when it becomes clear Council will not be making a decision soon and that we are in a marathon, not sprint.
January 4: TEA launches its public engagement campaign
TEA staff worked extra hours during the holidays to launch a new map comparing the cost of subways vs LRTs and a call to action. Within days volunteers started flooding our office wanting to help.
December 1: TEA Strategizes to keep Transit Expansion Alive
Within minutes of Ford's announcement, TEA staff sat down to figure out how to respond. We decided three things:
1. Mayor Ford had set up the issue as subways vs. Light Rail Transit. We had to focus on this, even though the real choice was LRTs or nothing because there was no funding for Ford's dramatically more expensive subway plan. (Learn more)
2. We had to have one-on-one conversations with Torontonians, especially in neighbourhoods along the LRT lines that would be cut (Finch West, Eglinton, Sheppard East).
3. This would be a lengthy campaign needing hundreds of volunteers to get the word out.
December 1: Mayor Ford derails the Transit Expansion Plan
Newly elected Mayor Rob Ford, on his first day in office, ordered the TTC to stop work on Transit City, a fully funded network of light rail lines that would bring fast, reliable transit to all four corners of the city. Toronto's new Mayor said he would build subways instead, without revealing how this much more expensive option would be financed.
Election Campaign 2010: TEA Supports Transit City
TEA is one of the strongest supporters of Transit City during the 2010 municipal election. This is not surprising since TEA has been a long time advocate of building a LRT network to connect all corners of the city.

I began flight training with Mainland Aviation College in early 2010. In the following 16 months I attained the qualifications of PPL, CPL, Multi-engine Instrument Rating and C-Category Instructors rating. After completing my training I was taken on as an instructor at Mainland and was lucky enough to move through into single-engine charter flying and eventually multi-engine IFR charter flying including air ambulance work. My time at Mainland was both memorable and invaluable in providing me with a wide range of flying experience in an environment that was both stunning and challenging to fly in.
Currently I'm employed by Air Nelson as a first officer flying the Bombardier Q300 for Air New Zealand Link. I get to cover the majority of the domestic network and really enjoy the variation in getting to fly to all corners of New Zealand. Mainland provided me with a fantastic start to my aviation career, both as a great place to complete my training and as a great bunch of people to work with.

S. Pearl Brilmyer
Assistant Professor of English
Fisher-Bennett Hall 218
Mondays 3:30-5 and by appointment
S. Pearl Brilmyer's work lies at the intersection of literature, philosophy, and science with a focus on the nineteenth-century English novel. Other areas of research include theories of will and drive in nineteenth-century German philosophy and science (Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Wundt), problems of sex and relationality in feminist and queer theory, and materialisms old and new.
Prior to joining the faculty at Penn, Brilmyer was assistant professor at The University of Oregon and adjunct instructor at New York University, Pratt Institute, and the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. She has also held fellowships from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the ICI Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry, the DAAD (German Exchange Service), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, the Wolf Humanities Center, and the Trustees' Council of Penn Women Faculty Research.
Her current book project, The Science of Character: Human Objecthood and the Ends of Victorian Realism asks what the realist novel, especially as it developed in the hands of turn-of-the-century women writers, can tell us about what it is like to experience another person as a material body with dynamic, aesthetic effects. With Filippo Trentin and Zairong Xiang, she is the editor of a special issue of GLQ: A Journal of Gay and Lesbian Studies entitled "The Ontology of the Couple" (2019). Her essays have been published in PMLA, Representations, Criticism, and Victorian Studies, among other venues.

Over the last 8 years I have been floating around aimlessly in the world of craft, creation and innovation. I don't what what has changed lately for me, but I have suddenly unearthed an enormous 'want' to make some positive change in my life. I am not sure if it has been spurred on by my kids getting older and idea of passing lifetime knowledge on to them, or just that I want to make some kind of difference in how we live and be able to take pride in achieving something again.
I started listening to a podcast. This was the gateway drug for me. On my walks home from work I took a break from my totally awesome escapism D&D live-play podcasts (Drunks & Dragons and The Adventure Zone) and started listening to a humble podcast called "Living Homegrown" by Theresa Loe. This podcast is a great balance of enthusiastic master knowledge on canning and preserving, and, relevant interviews with others making there way in the world of homesteading, permaculture and sustainable living. Theresa is a down-to-earth, patient and thorough teacher, and her podcasts (and blog) are perfect for anyone out there wanting and introduction to understanding the basics in preserving, canning, gardening, chicken keeping …. etc. I found myself looking forward to my walk home just so I could listen to more inspiring insider information she had to offer.
Go listen to her now.

F1: Massa gets test boost, Vettel in third
Feb 8, 2013, 6:24 am SGT
http://str.sg/vRo
JEREZ, Spain (AFP) - Brazil's Felipe Massa topped the time charts on the third day of pre-season Formula One testing on Thursday as world champion Sebastian Vettel marked his first appearance of the winter with third place.
Massa, whose future at Ferrari had been the subject of much speculation after his disappointing eighth place finish last season, clocked 1min 17.879s as he thrived in the absence of teammate Fernando Alonso, who is sitting out the four-day session.
His time just edged the week's previous best set by Lotus driver Romain Grosjean on Wednesday.
Massa was the only driver on Thursday to dip below the 1min 18sec mark with Mercedes' Nico Rosberg setting the second fastest time of 1:18.766 and Vettel, in the new Red Bull RB9, clocking 1:19.052.
Rosberg's performance was a welcome relief after the German had managed just 15 laps on Tuesday, his track time limited by mechanical trouble.
His Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton's car had suffered a brake failure on its first outing on Wednesday.
"I'm very happy with today and I think it was probably a personal record for me to do almost 150 laps," said Rosberg, whose 148 laps beat the Mercedes record of 132 in a day set by Michael Schumacher last year.
"I've never been so well-prepared physically as I am this season; I feel on top form and it was no problem to complete the programme. To drive the distance from Silverstone to Spa in one day with no problems whatsoever is a fantastic achievement from the team."
Vettel did over 100 laps before heading back to the pits where his mechanics quickly erected a black screen to frustrate the prying eyes of rival teams eager for a look at the team who have guided the German to three successive world titles.
"So far, I think we can be pretty happy," said Vettel, as he builds towards the season-opener in Melbourne on March 7.
"(Teammate) Mark (Webber) had a good couple of days to start with and I took over today. It was great to get back in the car, to get rid of the rust and to get back in the groove again.
"At this stage it's very difficult to judge anything else. It could be that there is a favourite after these three tests, but it could turn out to be completely different in Australia because it's a different track with different characteristics.
"I expect the championship to be at least as tight as last year, as the regulations haven't changed so much." The day's most dramatic incident occured when British driver James Rossiter accidentally collided with one of his Force India mechanics, who escaped serious injury.

Q: Get JSON Data from Cherrypy Server with jQuery/AJAX and python/cherrypy server
@cherrypy.tools.json_out()
@cherrypy.tools.json_in()
def get_data(self):
    cherrypy.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
    datas = {"ABCDEF"}
    return datas

but I get a Internal Server Error (500), where is my mistake?
I get work to post data to server, but with getting data is my problem..

A: One problem is in your fifth line of your second code block. Change
datas = {"ABCDEF"}

to something like
datas = { "somedata" : "ABCDEF"}

And if this is all of your cherrypy server code, you're not exposing your route. Then you have to add the
@cherrypy.expose

annotation. You can consult the docs for this as well.

A: Your datas variable is a Python set, and those are not directly serialisable to JSON. Perhaps you meant to create a dictionary or list?

M'sian Company Shares The Struggles of The Temuan Orang Asli Community, Here's Their Story
May Lyn
Source: Provided to WOB
Damansara Perdana is typically known for its flourishing township, upscale neighbourhood and accessibility to malls and cafes galore. But before it became one of the best selling townships in Petaling Jaya, the land was home to the Desa Temuan indigenous (Orang Asli) community. Often referred to by KL-goers as DP, Damansara Perdana was initially occupied by these indigenous community settlers up until 1995 when property developers took over the site under a privatisation scheme and forced these Orang Asli families out of their land and into the houses that they built.
Children who are part of the desa temuan orang asli community.
WORLD OF BUZZ recently had the opportunity of visiting the Desa Temuan indigenous community thanks to #ForestCares, a CSR outreach programme held by Forest Interactive. We sat down with Persatuan Kebajikan & Pengurusan Islam Orang Asli (PKPIOA) Selangor Chairman, Norazam, to discuss how this Orang Asli community has been coping throughout the MCO:
"We have about 147 households and 1,100 people in the Desa Temuan indigenous community. Many families are affected because they can no longer work or collect resources like we used to from the forest."
Desa temuan village community management council chairman, norazman jamalim, is seated on the far right.
While the government is trying their best to provide aid to these indigenous people, Norazman says that aid is only given when requested. "The government doesn't give us aid unless we appeal for it as there are so many communities in need of assistance right now. But when tragedies like these happen and things get really bad, we ask for NGOs to help us appeal to the government for assistance. Right now as the MCO is going on, we could really use the help any way we come by it."
#ForestCares under Forest Interactive
Upon hearing the outcry of this struggling community, #ForestCares, the CSR arm of Forest Interactive, in collaboration with Mojo Films Sdn Bhd, took a team of 8-10 volunteers on a Saturday morning (4th June), to distribute food and basic necessities worth up to RM12,208 to a 147 of the Orang Asli households with over 1,100 people.
#forestcares representatives volunteering to distribute food to the orang asli community on a sunny saturday afternoon.
"The Orang Asli communities nationwide have been greatly impacted as much as we have by the current pandemic, if not more. I've been informed that some households have up to three generations living under one roof, and during these difficult times, with their livelihoods at risk, it's been harder for the families to sustain themselves," told Forest Interactive CEO, Johary Mustapha, to WORLD OF BUZZ.
Despite the ease of restrictions under the new RMCO, the Orang Asli community is still living in isolation and trying hard to make ends meet. A large concern of the ingenious community is how their children are going to find a better future for themselves during a time of economic uncertainty caused by the current global health crisis.
Forest interactive ceo, johary mustapha, giving an educational talk to the orang asli kids about pursuing careers in digital industries.
Hence on top of donating basic necessities, #ForestCares also organised an educational talk for the students of Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Lanjan (Asli) in Damansara Perdana to inspire these kids to explore careers in tech and digital industries. "Education has the potential to enable today's youths, the next generation of leaders, to rise above poverty and overcome their struggles," said Johary, who delivered the talk.
Village chairman, Norazman, expressed his gratitude for Forest Interactive's initiative, "We are very thankful for both the donation and the motivational talk to our students. The talk, especially, is much needed to inspire the kids to study hard and be successful in the future, and to lift their spirits to go to school after staying at home for more than three months since the MCO".
How You Can Help The Orang Asli Community
"We're really thankful for organisations like Forest who lighten the burden borne by the Orang Asli community because there are many who have faced salary cuts and retrenchment during the MCO. The economy of the OA community has greatly deteriorated."
WORLD OF BUZZ took the opportunity to ask Norazman about the current issues they're facing that needs serious attention and what readers could do if they wanted to offer assistance to the Desa Temuan community.
Some of the orang asli kids who attended the talk.
"We are extremely thankful for any help we can get. Right now, it's crucial that we have access to resources relating to health and hygiene. Whenever we receive aid, it's always food but we really need cleaning equipment such as soaps and toothpastes as well. And of course, donations are welcome too."
If you're interested in helping the Desa Temuan community in their plight, you can visit the Persatuan Kebajikan Dan Pengurusan Islam Orang Asli Selangor (PKPI)'s Facebook page and message the admin of the group on how you can help out.
"Either I or other members of the community will respond", said Norazman. "We need to properly communicate with those who want to help in order to organise outreach or donation programmes to ensure there are enough resources to accommodate everybody."
If you are in a position to help those in need, do consider lending a hand to the Desa Temuan community.

While the British manufacturing industry may have suffered significant decline during the recent global recession, a tentative recovery has been triggered by wider economic growth. Although this is excellent news for individual firms, the pivotal nature of manufacturing in the UK means that it also bodes well for the chances of a sustained economic recovery. The nature of manufacturing is largely determined by the impact of technological innovation, which continues to create new and increasingly cost effective techniques.
What is Aluminum Die Casting and How Does it Benefit Businesses?
The Capacity to Create Complex Designs and Forms: In fundamental terms, aluminum die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal into a mold cavity under extreme pressure. It has numerous applications in the manufacturing industry, thanks largely to the fact that it has the capacity to create a series of complex shapes and forms. This means that manufacturers can easily order customized castings that can suit a range of complex production needs, saving them time and money in the process.
A Fast and Efficient Production Process: One of the key benefits of aluminum die casting is that enables manufacturers to produce parts and components at an extremely fast rate. This improved level of efficiency is particularly noticeable when compared with other alloy metals, so it has considerable appeal in a strained and unstable economy. Another key point is that this rapid pace of production does not compromise on the quality of the finished article, as aluminum die casting actually creates far more accurate shapes and negates the need for further refinement.
Aluminum Die Casting Creates More Durable Components: Another interesting facet of aluminum die casting is that it produces artifacts with incredible strength and durability, without compromising on the overall visual aesthetic. Despite boasting the strength of steel, aluminum castings are notoriously lightweight and this can lend itself to a number of applications and design projects. Given the importance of value for money in today's world, this is an crucial factor that enables manufacturers to sell durable and long lasting components.
The course of the manufacturing industry is steered by technological innovation, and how this is applied to improve production efficiency. Aluminum die casting is one procedure that has had a significant impact within the marketplace, as it has improved the speed of manufacturing and helped firms to create a more cost effective operation. Firms such as RD Castings have been prominent in the application of aluminum die casting, and provide an affordable solution for numerous manufacturing needs.

The Dock scales back its menu, but spirits and beer are bright
Food // Restaurants
Feb. 3, 2016 Updated: Feb. 3, 2016 12:11 p.m.
Interior view of the Dock restaurant in Oakland, CA, Tuesday June 10, 2014.Michael Short/The Chronicle
The sunomono was a harbinger of the changes taking place at the Dock at Linden Street. Not only has the price of the Japanese cucumber salad increased from $8 to $10 since I reviewed the restaurant about 18 months ago, but the combination had a different look and taste.
In the original three-star review, I wrote: "The chunks of cucumber start sweet, then the salt and spice emerge, tamed by cubes of avocado that balance the intensity of the pickles and reset the palate so it's ready for another bite."
On a revisit last week, the salt and spice never overtook the sweetness of the pickles. Mashed avocados served as a bed for the other ingredients and were under-seasoned, making the dish come across as one-dimensional. It was still good, but lacked the fine balance that so captivated me and earned the restaurant a place in the Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants guide.

Berkeley's Cesar still tops with tapas, but not service
The Dock is set in an 1890s warehouse building near Jack London Square that also houses the Beer Shed and Linden Street Brewery, which in 2009 became the first production brewery to open in Oakland in more than 50 years.
The restaurant space, like the food, had a rustic yet refined appeal, with scarred wood floors and an open ceiling unified by keen attention to detail.
In September, chef-owner James Syhabout, who also owns Commis and Hawker Fare, brought on a new chef de cuisine, Geoff Davis, and earlier this year they implemented a new menu. Not only have the combinations been simplified, but the menu was shortened by about a third. Maybe the original style wasn't sustainable in a casual beer-centric environment, but I was mildly disappointed by the current offerings.
What I remembered on my initial visits were the pairings of crisp, fried cranberry beans with grilled Monterey squid and purslane; skillet-fried oyster po' boys with sorrel-spiked tartar sauce; and steamed clams in a smoky shoyu broth with fresh kimchi and chrysanthemums.
Those types of unusual flavorings have been scaled back, but the food is not always a disappointment. The menu kicks off with three snacks — roasted peanuts ($4), the must-order Caesar popcorn ($6) and house-made potato bread with a choice of three toppings ($6). The creamy pork rillettes were spiked with tiny coins of fermented carrots and a few sprigs of arugula; the play of creamy and sharp, warm and cool held attention.
The menu used to incorporate a half dozen vegetable dishes under a separate heading; now those are folded into the six starters. On the night I was there, they were out of the tuna tartare ($15), making it five. Jerk-spiced chicken wings ($13), in a sweet pineapple vinegar sauce with habanero, a holdover from the original menu, were as good as I remember.
The new dish most reminiscent of my visits in 2014 was the Salt Spring mussels ($16), where the seafood is bathed in a pot liquor sauce with smoked ham hock, collard greens and corn bread croutons that absorbed the liquor from the seafood. The dish was accompanied by packets of Crystal hot sauce, which were highly recommended by the waiter. It did add a bold dimension to the blend.
There are three main courses: a meatless medley of toasted farro porridge with brown butter, mushrooms and cured egg yolk ($19); choucroute garnie ($26) with duck, pork belly and bockwurst sausage on braised sauerkraut that lacked crunch and personality; and the Shed burger ($14) with mustard and mayonnaise sauce, shredded iceberg lettuce, American cheese and sauteed onions. It was fine, but it paled in comparison to what you'll find at places such as Kronnerburger.
Service continues to be attentive. The staff changes out plates and serving utensils without prompting. However, on our visit, the waiter appeared to have too many tables, so there were some lags, especially in checking back for cocktails and dessert orders.
The staff is knowledgeable on the bar menu, which includes a full cocktail list, wine and 10 beers on draft. You won't find a Heineken, Corona or Bud Light in the lineup. Instead, nine out of 10 drafts are from California, such as Woodfour Sour Farmhouse ($7) and Moonlight Tipple ($5) from Santa Rosa. Bottles include Off Color Apex Predator ($7) from Chicago and St. Bernardus Prior 8 from Belgium.
The restaurant also features a bottled Negroni ($24), with more than two servings; a well-crafted Americano highball ($8) with vermouth, Campari and seltzer; and a rum and house-made tonic ($9). It's clear that they take pride in what's crafted behind the bar.
While the food is still good, and I would recommend it to many people for a casual night out, the Dock's beer and spirits offerings now outshine the food. Maybe that's the way they want it to be.

Understanding insulators with conducting edges
Important mineral named after Professor Gerhard Brey
What happened 4,000 years ago in the Urals?
Environmental protection in outer space
Frankfurt theoreticians investigate puzzling phenomenon in a quantum gas
FRANKFURT. Insulators that are conducting at their edges hold promise for interesting technological applications. However, until now their characteristics have not been fully understood. Physicists at Goethe University have now modelled what are known as topological insulators with the help of ultracold quantum gases. In the current issue of Physical Review Letters, they demonstrate how the edge states could be experimentally detected.
Imagine a disc made of an insulator with a conducting edge along which a current always flows in the same direction. "This makes it impossible for a quantum particle to be impeded, because the state of flowing in the other direction simply doesn't exist," explains Bernhard Irsigler, the first author of the study. In other words: in the edge state, the current flows without resistance. This could be used, for example, to increase the stability and energy efficiency of mobile devices. Research is also being done on how to use this to construct lasers that are more efficient.
In recent years, topological insulators have also been produced in ultracold quantum gases in order to better understand their behaviour. These gases result when a normal gas is cooled down to temperatures between a millionth and billionth of a degree above absolute zero. This makes ultracold quantum gases the coldest places in the universe. If an ultracold quantum gas is also produced in an optical lattice made of laser light, the gas atoms arrange themselves as regularly as in the crystal lattice of a solid. However, unlike a solid, many parameters can be varied, allowing artificial quantum states to be studied.
"We like to call it a quantum simulator because this kind of system reveals many things that take place in solids. Using ultracold quantum gases in optical lattices, we can understand the basic physics of topological insulators," explains co-author Jun-Hui Zheng.
A significant difference between a solid and a quantum gas, however, is that the cloud-shaped gases do not have defined edges. So how does a topological insulator in an ultracold gas decide where its edge states are? The researchers in Professor Walter Hofstetter's research group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Goethe University answer this question in their study. They modelled an artificial barrier between a topological isolator and a normal isolator. This represents the edge of the topological insulator along which the conducting edge state forms.
"We demonstrate that the edge state is characterized through quantum correlations that could be measured in an experiment using a quantum gas microscope. Harvard University, MIT and the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich all carry out these kinds of measurements," says Hofstetter. A quantum gas microscope is an instrument with which individual atoms can be detected in experiments. "For our work, it is critical that we explicitly take into account the interaction between the particles of the quantum gas. That makes the investigation more realistic, but also much more complicated. The complex calculations could not be carried out without a supercomputer. The close collaboration with leading European scientists within the context of the DFG Research Unit 'Artificial Gauge Fields and Interacting Topological Phases in Ultracold Atoms' is also of particular importance for us," Hofstetter adds.

Duncan Norvelle (born 2 April 1958, Hoton, Loughborough, Leicestershire, England) is an English comedian in the variety tradition, who appeared on British television from the early 1980s. He was often referred to as Duncan "Chase me" Norvelle, stemming from his catchphrase "Chase me!". His act was based on appearing to be a stereotypical camp homosexual.

Entertainment career
In the mid 80s, he hosted an unscreened pilot dating show called It's a Hoot for London Weekend Television. The series was eventually re-titled Blind Date and hosted by Liverpudlian singer and entertainer Cilla Black. In 1991, Duncan appeared on the ITV comedy panel game show Through the Keyhole. 2008 saw him go out on tour as part of the Ricky Tomlinson Laughter Show. Norvelle spent the 2009 pantomime season playing Buttons in Cinderella in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

In 2011, he appeared on Celebrity Come Dine with Me with Sean Hughes, Gina Yashere and Paul Tonkinson.

Health
Norvelle was hospitalised in 2012 after suffering a stroke, leaving him paralysed down the left side of his body. After nine weeks in hospital, he cancelled his summer season with comedy duo Cannon and Ball, and was replaced by Stu Francis.

In 2015, Norvelle chose the Embassy Theatre, Skegness, as his first performance after over three years off-stage, promising that funds from his show would be allocated to the Stroke Association.

Untethered Magnetic Micromanipulation
Diller, E., Sitti, M.
In Micro-and Nanomanipulation Tools, 13, 10, Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, November 2015 (inbook)
This chapter discusses the methods and state of the art in microscale manipulation in remote environments using untethered microrobotic devices. It focuses on manipulation at the size scale of tens to hundreds of microns, where small size leads to a dominance of microscale physical effects and challenges in fabrication and actuation. To motivate the challenges of operating at this size scale, the chapter includes coverage of the physical forces relevant to microrobot motion and manipulation below the millimeter-size scale. It then introduces the actuation methods commonly used in untethered manipulation schemes, with particular focus on magnetic actuation due to its wide use in the field. The chapter divides these manipulation techniques into two types: contact manipulation, which relies on direct pushing or grasping of objects for motion, and noncontact manipulation, which relies indirectly on induced fluid flow from the microrobot motion to move objects without any direct contact.

Introduction: Robots with Cognition?
Franz, MO.
6, pages: 38, (Editors: H.H. Bülthoff, K.R. Gegenfurtner, H.A. Mallot, R. Ulrich, F.A. Wichmann), 6. T{\"u}binger Wahrnehmungskonferenz (TWK), February 2003 (talk)
Using robots as models of cognitive behaviour has a long tradition in robotics. Parallel to the historical development in cognitive science, one observes two major, subsequent waves in cognitive robotics. The first is based on ideas of classical, cognitivist Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to the AI view of cognition as rule-based symbol manipulation, these robots typically try to extract symbolic descriptions of the environment from their sensors that are used to update a common, global world representation from which, in turn, the next action of the robot is derived. The AI approach has been successful in strongly restricted and controlled environments requiring well-defined tasks, e.g. in industrial assembly lines. AI-based robots mostly failed, however, in the unpredictable and unstructured environments that have to be faced by mobile robots. This has provoked the second wave in cognitive robotics which tries to achieve cognitive behaviour as an emergent property from the interaction of simple, low-level modules. Robots of the second wave are called animats as their architecture is designed to closely model aspects of real animals. Using only simple reactive mechanisms and Hebbian-type or evolutionary learning, the resulting animats often outperformed the highly complex AI-based robots in tasks such as obstacle avoidance, corridor following etc. While successful in generating robust, insect-like behaviour, typical animats are limited to stereotyped, fixed stimulus-response associations. If one adopts the view that cognition requires a flexible, goal-dependent choice of behaviours and planning capabilities (H.A. Mallot, Kognitionswissenschaft, 1999, 40-48) then it appears that cognitive behaviour cannot emerge from a collection of purely reactive modules. It rather requires environmentally decoupled structures that work without directly engaging the actions that it is concerned with. This poses the current challenge to cognitive robotics: How can we build cognitive robots that show the robustness and the learning capabilities of animats without falling back into the representational paradigm of AI? The speakers of the symposium present their approaches to this question in the context of robot navigation and sensorimotor learning. In the first talk, Prof. Helge Ritter introduces a robot system for imitation learning capable of exploring various alternatives in simulation before actually performing a task. The second speaker, Angelo Arleo, develops a model of spatial memory in rat navigation based on his electrophysiological experiments. He validates the model on a mobile robot which, in some navigation tasks, shows a performance comparable to that of the real rat. A similar model of spatial memory is used to investigate the mechanisms of territory formation in a series of robot experiments presented by Prof. Hanspeter Mallot. In the last talk, we return to the domain of sensorimotor learning where Ralf M{\"o}ller introduces his approach to generate anticipatory behaviour by learning forward models of sensorimotor relationships.

Accurate oculomotor control is one of the essential pre-requisites for successful visuomotor coordination. In this paper, we suggest a biologically inspired control system for learning gaze stabilization with a biomimetic robotic oculomotor system. In a stepwise fashion, we develop a control circuit for the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and the opto-kinetic response (OKR), and add a nonlinear learning network to allow adaptivity. We discuss the parallels and differences of our system with biological oculomotor control and suggest solutions how to deal with nonlinearities and time delays in the control system. In simulation and actual robot studies, we demonstrate that our system can learn gaze stabilization in real time in only a few seconds with high final accuracy.

This study investigates learning passive motor control strategies. Passive control is understood as control without active error correction; the movement is stabilized by particular properties of the controlling dynamics. We analyze the task of juggling a ball on a racket. An approximation to the optimal solution of the task is derived by means of optimization theory. In order to model the learning process, the problem is coded for a genetic algorithm in representations without sensory or with sensory information. For all representations the genetic algorithm is able to find passive control strategies, but learning speed and the quality of the outcome are significantly different. A comparison with data from human subjects shows that humans seem to apply yet different movement strategies to the ones proposed. For the feedback representation some implications arise for learning from demonstration.

A genetic algorithm for evolution from an ecological perspective
Sternad, D., Schaal, S.
In the population model presented, an evolutionary dynamic is explored which is based on the operator characteristics of genetic algorithms. An essential modification in the genetic algorithms is the inclusion of a constraint in the mixing of the gene pool. The pairing for the crossover is governed by a selection principle based on a complementarity criterion derived from the theoretical tenet of perception-action (P-A) mutuality of ecological psychology. According to Swenson and Turvey [37] P-A mutuality underlies evolution and is an integral part of its thermodynamics. The present simulation tested the contribution of P-A-cycles in evolutionary dynamics. A numerical experiment compares the population's evolution with and without this intentional component. The effect is measured in the difference of the rate of energy dissipation, as well as in three operationalized aspects of complexity. The results support the predicted increase in the rate of energy dissipation, paralleled by an increase in the average heterogeneity of the population. Furthermore, the spatio-temporal evolution of the system is tested for the characteristic power-law relations of a nonlinear system poised in a critical state. The frequency distribution of consecutive increases in population size shows a significantly different exponent in functional relationship.

Pitbull is our first model, which is specially designed for F3F competition. However it can also be used in F3B category and some pilots use it in F3B successfully.
Idea of Pitbull came from tests of one F3B profile. During the hundreds hours of testing we noticed that the profile is incredible fast in turns. So it suggested itself that the profile is ideal for task in F3F with large number of turns, where the turning performance is essentials.
The model is produced in both F3F and F3B lay-up. Please see details of standard versions - F3F strong, F3F light and F3B. Double or triplecarbon F3F version on special request.
Pitbull is flown by some pilots in season 2014 and the results are fantastic. Pilots flying with Pitbull like Lukas Gaubatz, Filip Kalensky and Martin Ziegler are top ranked.
Construction of model is fully composite with carbon in all stressed parts. For wingspar is used high modular carbon with very low ductility and kevlar honeycomb, which resulted in light and very stiff construction.
Also fuselage is almost 100% carbon composite with 2,4 GHz friendly nose and nosecone. If requested we are able to prepare extra strong fuselage with double UHM carbon.
Also possible to order completed model with installed servos, cables, battery pack, etc. - you only put receiver and fly.

Q: Dimensions of Orthogonal Group Representations I'm aware that the irreducible representations of the orthogonal group $O(n;\mathbb{C})$ are labeled by partitions $\lambda$ such that the sum of the first two columns of $\lambda$ is at most $n$. Is there a way to determine the dimension of the $\lambda$ representation? Perhaps by counting some kind of tableau, similar to how we do for the symmetric group $S_n$?

A: Yes there is a tableau way but it doesn't involve counting tableaux.   The dimensionality is best computed using the method exposed by Ron King in

King RC. The dimensions of irreducible tensor representations of the orthogonal and symplectic groups. Canadian Journal of Mathematics. 1971 Feb;23(1):176-88.

The paper is very clear so let me just provide you with an elementary example for $O(n)$.  Suppose you have a valid partition with $p$ parts - say $(3,1)$  with $p=2$ parts.
One first construct the tableau for $(3,1)$, placing at the end of the first row $n-1$, at the end of the second row $n-3$ etc.  In this case, this first step yields
$$
\begin{array}{cccccc}
*&*&n-1\\
n-3&&
\end{array}
$$
and then fill the * by adding one for every step in towards the left:
$$
\begin{array}{cccccc}
n+1&n&n-1\\
n-3&&
\end{array}\, .  \tag{1}
$$
For your partition of $p$ parts, construct now a triangular diagram with
$p$ boxes in the first row, $p-1$ in the second row etc, and fill the entries antidiagonally with the entries of your partition.  Here, our partition has two parts: $3$ and $1$; so we construct a triangular tableau with two boxes on the first row, and fill up as indicated to obtain
$$
\begin{array}{cccccc}
3&1\\
1&\\
\end{array} \tag{2}
$$
Add the entries in the partitions (1) and (2):
$$
\begin{array}{cccccc}
n+1+3&n+1&n-1\\
n-3+1
\end{array}
$$
and then proceed as usual, including hook lengths in the denominator, to obtain (if I didn't mess up too much)
$$
(n-1)\frac{(n+1)}{2}\frac{(n+4)}{4}(n-2)
\, .
$$
There is an additional twist if the triangular tableau has some rows greater than your original partition, and King shows how to handle this case (using what are now known as the King numbers).

BREAKING NEWS – Groom Lake, Nevada – The "Storm Area 51 event" event that went viral last month as people pledged to crash the secret military base in an attempt to "see them aliens" has only grown in scale in recent weeks. More than 2 million Facebook users have now said they are going, up from slightly more than 400,000 two weeks ago and 1.5 million people as of July 17. U.S. Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews recently issued a statement saying the Air Force "would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces," adding that it [the U.S. Air Force] "always stands ready to protect America and its assets." She then added, "If large amounts of people try to rush the facility, we have authorized the military to use their ray guns to disintegrate the masses. Any people attempting to flee after breaching security, will not escape because the aircraft patrolling the facility can fly at warp speed. And finally for the record, humanoids that are housed there are being treated respectfully, we even recently gave E.T. a cell phone."

Levomilnacipran binds with high affinity to human serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) transporters (Ki = 11 and 91 nM, respectively). It potently inhibits 5-HT and NE reuptake (IC50 = 16 - 19 and 11 nM, respectively). Levomilnacipran does not bind to any other receptors, ion channels, or transporters, including serotonergic (5HT1-7), α- and β adrenergic, muscarinic, or histaminergic receptors and Ca2+, Na+, K+ or Cl- channels to a significant degree. Levomilnacipran did not inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO). Furthermore, levomilnacipran does not prolong the QTc interval to a clinically relevant extent.
The relative bioavailability after administration of the extended-release capsule was 92% when compared to oral solution. Food does not affect the concentration of levomilnacipran. After daily dosing of levomilnacipran (extended-release capsule) the mean Cmax is 341 ng/mL, and the mean steady-state AUC value is 5196 ng·h/mL. The Tmax is 6 - 8 hours after oral administration. Interconversion of stereoisomers does not occur in humans.
22% bound to human plasma protein over concentration range of 10 to 1000 ng/mL.
Hepatic. Levomilnacipran undergoes desethylation to form desethyl levomilnacipran and hydroxylation to form p-hydroxy-levomilnacipran. Desethylation is facilitated primarily by CYP3A4 and by CYP2C8, 2C19, 2D6, and 2J2 to a lesser extent. Both metabolites undergo further conjugation with glucuronide to form conjugates.
Levomilnacipran and its metabolites are eliminated primarily by renal excretion. 58% of the dose is excreted in urine as unchanged levomilnacipran. N-desethyl levomilnacipran is the major metabolite excreted in the urine and accounted for approximately 18% of the dose. Other identifiable metabolites excreted in the urine are levomilnacipran glucuronide (4%), desethyl-levomilnacipran glucuronide (3%), p-hydroxy levomilnacipran glucuronide (1%), and p-hydroxylevomilnacipran (1%). The metabolites are inactive.
(R)-warfarin Levomilnacipran may increase the antiplatelet activities of (R)-warfarin.
(S)-Warfarin Levomilnacipran may increase the antiplatelet activities of (S)-Warfarin.
2,4-thiazolidinedione The risk or severity of hypoglycemia can be increased when Levomilnacipran is combined with 2,4-thiazolidinedione.
2,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethylthioamphetamine The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethylthioamphetamine is combined with Levomilnacipran.
3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid The therapeutic efficacy of 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid can be decreased when used in combination with Levomilnacipran.
4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when 4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine is combined with Levomilnacipran.
4-hydroxycoumarin The metabolism of 4-hydroxycoumarin can be decreased when combined with Levomilnacipran.
4-Methoxyamphetamine The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when 4-Methoxyamphetamine is combined with Levomilnacipran.
5-androstenedione The metabolism of Levomilnacipran can be decreased when combined with 5-androstenedione.
5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine is combined with Levomilnacipran.
