Nic DePaula
Biography: I am a PhD student in the department of information science at the State University of New York at Albany. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Geography and a Master of Urban Planning from SUNY Albany. I have worked in the areas of geographic information technology, information policy, and information security behavior. My current research is focused on media, politics and online communication. I am interested in how language is used in political contexts and the various strategies governing discourse on social network sites and online communities. I am concerned with issues of knowledge, bias and social conflict as well as the psychological and experienced repercussions of the interaction between humans and machines in the digital age. I am originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, but have resided for many years in upstate New York in the United States. I am a fan of jazz music, tango dance and engaging in diverse and insightful conversations.
Research: I am broadly interested in how language is used in political contexts and the various strategies governing discourse on websites and social media. I am concerned with issues of knowledge and power as well as the human experience in the globalized information society. I am committed to research that addresses social problems associated with bias, control and inequality. My dissertation research is focused on social media information strategies of government agencies and departments. The study of government communication is an under-researched area, but nonetheless interesting and valuable given the current role of online communication in society, the power that government agencies yield (e.g. in bringing legitimacy to information; functioning as a source of patriotism), but also the ability to dissent online against the state. In my research, government is conceived as a political and organizational entity with general qualities, but which must also be assessed in unique circumstances and conditions. Within the context of the United States, government agencies adopt diverse information strategies, which distribute: emotion, knowledge or ideology. I am interested in different methodologies to capture and understand these information strategies and their effects, including natural language processing and social network analysis.
Biography: Hang Dong is a Ph.D. candidate at Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom, based at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China. He received his bachelor degree in Library Science from Wuhan University and master degree in Information Systems from the iSchool in the University of Sheffield. His doctoral study focuses on the automatic derivation of structured knowledge from social media data. In 2016, his team won the first prize of Shanghai Library Open Data Application Development Contest. The team designed a mobile application, Learning Chinese Surnames, leveraging the Linked Open Data cloud and the Genealogical Open Data from the Shanghai Library to support cross-lingual information service of Chinese genealogical resources. He further introduced the research behind this application in iConference 2017 at Wuhan, China. Before started his PhD research, he investigated postgraduate students' information seeking behaviour in a UK university for this master dissertation, and explored the information service model in a Chinese knowledge intensive corporate library as his undergraduate final year project. He also volunteered in the Children's Reading Room of Wuhan Municipal library and was awarded the Excellent Volunteer in 2015.
Research: Social tagging provides an efficient content organisation mechanism to support searching and recommendation of online resources. However, without a semantic backbone, the accumulated user-generated tags (or folksonomies) are no more than a dormant collection of unstructured, noisy and often ambiguous "keywords". Researchers have started to derive structured knowledge from social tags for more than a decade. It is still challenging to generate high quality knowledge structures, because of three problems: (i) the semantic gap between users' terminologies and controlled vocabularies; (ii) the lack of rich contexts to infer relations between tags; (iii) much cognitive effort required to create knowledge structures.
With the recent development of language modelling and semantic analysis in artificial intelligence, it is time to rethink the theories in information organisation and ontology engineering. Can the semantic relations between social tags be correctly inferred using machine learning approaches? How to capture the dynamic structures of folksonomies? So far, I have explored topic models to generate new rules to induce hierarchical relations from tags. Also, I plan to understand the evolution of folksonomies through language modeling using neural network approaches. Finding of this research will enrich our understanding of knowledge organization of massive and noisy social media textual data.
Bryan Dosono
Biography: Bryan Dosono is a PhD Candidate in Information Science and Technology at Syracuse University. He employs social network analysis with qualitative research methods to explore, interpret, and visualize large collections of social media data. He seeks to understand how Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) construct and express their identity in online communities and his dissertation research uncovers the ways in which AAPIs negotiate collective action in the context of online identity work.
A doctoral researcher for the Behavior, Information, Technology, and Society Laboratory, Bryan Dosono's scholarship in human-computer interaction and computer-supported cooperative work identifies impactful design opportunities that improve the quality of life for marginalized citizens. He is a recipient of the Google Policy Fellowship, the Ronald E. McNair Graduate Fellowship, and the iSchool Inclusion Institute Teaching Fellowship. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree with honors in Informatics from the University of Washington.
Research: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are perceived as the "model minority" with a monolithic identity, in contrast to other marginalized racial groups in the United States. In reality, they are composed of different ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, and political ideologies. My research employs social network analysis with qualitative research methods to explore, interpret, and visualize large collections of social media data. I seek to understand how AAPIs construct and express their identity in online communities and my dissertation research uncovers the ways in which AAPIs negotiate collective action in the context of online identity work.
My dissertation draws upon data collected from interviews, participant observation, and content analysis to understand how AAPIs engage in identity work on Reddit—one of the largest and most frequented visited online community platforms. Given AAPI's longstanding history of silence, exclusion, and immigration, my work has significant potential to inform (1) how AAPI involvement in contemporary social movements affect other groups who face similar oppressive challenges, (2) how other marginalized or niche AAPI subgroups come together on online platforms to collaboratively make sense of their intersectional identities, and (3) how collectivist groups develop a sense of community with others that share an identity with them.
Sukaina Ehdeed
Biography: Is currently a third year Ph.D. Libyan student at University of Sheffield working under the supervision of both Dr. Jo Bates and Dr. Andrew Cox. She is a member of the digital society research group in Information School. Her research focuses on exploring young people's social media use and the observed changes in their attitudes in relation to the unfolding events of the Libyan uprising and post-uprising period (2011-2016), engaging with various critiques of Habermas' public sphere concept. Prior to joining Information School, she received her master degree in library and information science in 2009 from University of Tripoli, Libya, and worked as a lecturer assistant in the same department for 4 years. Prior to her time in academia, she worked as a librarian at the Open University in Tripoli for nearly a year and a half.
Research: It is often claimed that social media sites such as Facebook played a key role during the so-called 'Arab Spring'. Yet there have been few attempts to track what happened during and after the Libyan uprising, and how social media are – and are not – contributing to the development of revolutionary and post-revolutionary public sphere in the Libyan context. In Libya, there was an explosive growth in social media use during the post-uprising period. This rapid growth could be seen to potentially form the basis for the emergence of a new democratic, networked public sphere. By engaging with different conceptualizations and various critiques of Habermas' public sphere concept, this study aims to explore the nature of emergent Libyan digital publics, and their possible role in transforming the Libyan public sphere. It does so by exploring young people's social media use and the observed changes in their attitudes in relation to the unfolding events of the Libyan uprising and post-uprising period (2011-2016).
In Cheol Jang
Biography: In Cheol Jang is a postgraduate researcher in the School of International Development at the University of East Anglia. He has also currently worked for the Institute for Educational Research at the Addis Ababa University as a graduate researcher since November 2016. He holds a bachelor's degree in Politics from the University of Bristol. After graduation, In Cheol worked for Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and was in charge of coordinating capacity building training for government officials from developing countries.
Work experience in the government agency provided him affluent practical knowledge and thoughts which encouraged him to study further. He obtained two master's degrees in International Development from Korea University and the University of East Anglia. His research interests of doctoral degree broadly centre on education and development associated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In addition to his research, he recently involves in teaching a postgraduate module called Development Perspectives as an associate tutor.
Research: For his PhD thesis, it focuses on the meanings and practices towards ICT for Ethiopian secondary school teachers. Notwithstanding the fact that there are few studies exploring the role of ICT in education in the Ethiopian context, these studies primarily identify the reasons why the Ethiopian government has been challenged by the integration of ICT into education. By contrast, no study has yet examined the meanings and practices of ICT for Ethiopian teachers.
By understanding the teachers' meanings and practices of ICT, this study aims to construct a baseline of ICT integration into an Ethiopian educational context. To examine meanings and practices, his research looks into both pre-service and in-service teacher professional development programmes of Ethiopia particularly in relation to ICT implementation into the classroom. In addition, the research explores roles of international organisations and development partners which support Ethiopian education and ICT because they influence the curriculum of teacher training and ICT learning environment of schools.
Lyndsey Jenkins
Biography: Lyndsey Jenkins is studying towards a PhD in Information Science at Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, UK. She holds a Bachelor's in Psychology from Northumbria University and also a Masters in Developmental Psychology from Durham University. She has previously worked as a careers adviser for the National Careers Service in England whilst simultaneously completing a nine month research internship. This focused on factors influencing career exploration in young people and adolescents. Lyndsey is currently a Copy Editor for Information Research and a student representative for the Scottish Graduate School of Social Sciences, Scotland, UK.
Lyndsey's research explores how workplace leaning can be used to support the development of 'Innovative Work Behaviour', studied from the information science perspective. This includes how organisations can support learning of innovation from employees through element such as information use, knowledge sharing and the culture and strategy of the organisation. Lyndsey is interested in how organisations can support the development of innovative work behaviour through workplace learning and specific factors that contribute to these relationships. She has a particular interest in how information literacy and information behaviours may enhance the development of 'Innovative Work Behaviour' and how research such as this can be applied to workplace settings.
Research: The Scottish Government and supporting bodies have recognised the importance of innovation for organisations to improve employment growth, increase productivity and competitive advantage within the current labour market. This PhD, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and supported by Skills Development Scotland, investigates innovation and best practice in skills development in the workplace in Scotland, drawing comparisons with the rest of the UK and other countries. It aims to explore how employee-led workplace learning can be encouraged to deliver innovation, with specific focus on the learning of behaviors relevant for individuals to innovate in the workplace.
From the information science perspective, the research explores specific requirements for individuals to develop innovative work behaviour (e.g. information use, knowledge sharing, organisational culture and strategy). By carrying out three case studies of organisations Scotland, North East England and Europe (specifically Finland), the research explores how successful workplace learning (in relation to innovative work behaviours) can be both determined and identified within organisations and explore factors that contribute to this relationship. This will lead to the development of a framework to explain how organisations can support employees to develop innovative work behaviour.
Rebecca Katz
Biography: I am currently a doctoral candidate in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. My research focuses on online fan fiction writers' information behaviour, specifically, their knowledge and experiences of intellectual property laws (primarily copyright) relevant to fan fiction and other derivative fan works. My advisor is Professor Kimiz Dalkir. I am the recipient of a three-year FRQSC grant from the Government of Quebec for my doctoral studies, and the holder of a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Civil Law from McGill University as well as a Master of Law from the University of Ottawa. My Master's thesis focused on the problem of gendered cyberbullying and Ontario's legal responses to it. Additionally, during my Master's studies, I also researched and published on fan fiction and its likely status under the revised Canadian Copyright Act, which helped spark my interest in my doctoral dissertation topic. I have worked with Canada's Library of Parliament, with the Ontario Ministry of Education, Legal Services Division, and with the Secretariat of McGill University. I am passionate about education, and, in my limited free time, enjoy writing, music, travelling, and spending time with my husband.
Research: Fan fiction has been defined as amateur written creativity based on any identifiable segment of popular culture. The genre, which uses characters, settings, and other elements from pre-existing media to tell new and transformative stories, is a vibrant and growing discourse online. Although fan fiction based on popular media franchises predates the Internet, it has seen an explosion in the Internet age and has inspired significant study in recent decades. The growing literature on fan fiction, fan communities, and fan creativity suggests that this form of media engagement can have many benefits for writers and audiences. However, fan fiction raises several intellectual property challenges which writers in this genre should – but may not always – be aware of. My doctoral research investigates the legal information behaviour of Canadian and US fan fiction writers. I anticipate using interviews and grounded theory to explore the benefits fans derive from their involvement in fan fiction and fandom (fan communities), as well as their knowledge of intellectual property law, the sources they use to find out about the law and its impact on their fan activities, and their experiences and perceptions of the law.
Jooho Lee
Biography: Jooho Lee is a PhD candidate in the School of Information at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She holds degrees from Sungshin Women's University (B.A. in English language and literature), Yonsei University (M.S. in information management), and University of Illinois (MLIS). She is nearing to completion of her doctoral degree. Her research focuses on biomedical scientific claims made in grant funded projects. Especially, she is interested in analyzing the effect of collaboration on evolution of scientific claims made in multiple projects. Textual analyses are the major methods used in her research, and she is applying various techniques including information retrieval, semantic similarity, natural language processing, and text mining to structured and unstructured text.
Research: The collaboration in funding award has become more common and mandatory for creating innovative products or obtaining knowledge. Many studies analyzed large-scale data to discover collaborative patterns of entire population and/or groups in diverse science disciplines, but we still have much to learn about how collaboration affects an individual's scientific progress. My dissertation is started with a simple question, "does collaboration make difference in research progression and research productivity of individual scholars?" In this study, we focus on unpacking the properties of collaboration and collaborators of biomedical research grants with semantic similarity and statistical analysis on abstract text. We investigate what are the conditions necessary for investigators to initiate collaboration, and what is the relationship between these conditions and subsequent productivity? As a first step of the study, it is necessary to explore NIH grant dataset to find different collaborative patterns between two co-principal investigators on awarded grant projects. Currently, nine distinct collaborative patterns are manually identified and annotated for revealing difference of PIs in different collaboration types, and statistical analysis of PIs in diverse research interests are being interpreted. In future analysis, individual's research progress will be examined in full-text articles.
Myeong Lee
Biography: Myeong Lee is a PhD candidate at the University of Maryland's iSchool at College Park. His research interests are in understanding how community-level forces shape individual and organizational behavior; how the information landscape of a local community is affected by community factors/features; and how community problems can be solved through implementing socio-technical strategies. Through research studies, he strives to further conceptualize the dynamics of a city and people's access to local information, and ultimately contribute to civic engagement, policy-making, and organizational and/or information accessibility theories. The relevant fields to his research interests include, but are not limited to, HCI for community, community informatics, and urban computing. Myeong is a Junior Fellow at the Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) in the iSchool, and a Data Science & Technology Fellow at The Center for Open Data Enterprise, a non-profit that advocates for open data movements, where he advises the SDG National Reporting Initiative on data management and technical strategy. He has experiences in IT start-ups, and holds a BS in Electrical Engineering and MS in Software Engineering from Seoul National University, and a Master of Information Management degree from the University of Maryland College Park.
Research: To understand issues about information accessibility within local communities, it is necessary to consider not only human information behavior, but also how information is created and provided to social entities and infrastructures. This need for a holistic approach is necessary in local community settings where local information is largely embedded in material entities, such as urban places and technical infrastructures. Myeong's dissertation develops a theory of local information landscapes (LIL) to better understand the phenomena and issues surrounding information accessibility within local communities. By complementing existing theories such as information worlds (Jaeger & Burnett, 2010) and information grounds (Fisher & Naumer, 2006), the LIL theory provides a new perspective on how we can understand information inequality in a local community as information deserts. Building upon these theoretical framework and theory, his research studies (1) quantify community-level information characteristics by computationally modeling the phenomena; (2) conduct empirical studies on how these community-level information characteristics affect civic engagement using local event data; and (3) visualize these community-level information inequalities by implementing an interactive tool. These studies are expected not only to prove the LIL concepts, but also to provide a new matric and frameworks for understanding information inequality in the community level.
Kahina Le Louvier
Biography: Kahina Le Louvier is a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Northumbria (Newcastle, UK), working under the supervision of Dr Perla Innocenti and Prof Gobinda Chowdhury. Her doctoral research combines Information Science and Cultural Heritage with the aim of finding new ways to facilitate the social inclusion of people who resettled in England after seeking asylum. Before joining the ISchool at Northumbria, she earned a BA in Art History from the University Paris VII – Denis Diderot, and an Erasmus Mundus masters in Cultural Identity Studies awarded by the University of St Andrews and the Universidade Nova Lisboa. She has a special interest in migration, issues of culture and identity, social justice and participatory approaches to research. Kahina is also involved in various local community organisations working with refugees. She is the president of Northumbria University Postgraduate Research Society and is part of the board of trustee of the Student Union.
Research: This doctoral research aims at understanding how social inclusion of people who have been forcibly displaced can be more holistically promoted. Social inclusion is a complex process that builds on both the capacity to fully engage with the cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions of society, and the development of a sense of belonging and recognition. To capture the multiple dimensions of this process, this research combines the perspectives of both Information Science and Cultural Heritage and investigates how people who have resettled in the North East of England after seeking asylum renegotiate their information and heritage practices, and what may facilitate their inclusion in the region. To explore these questions, a qualitative study based on a partnership with local civil society organizations which work with refugees is conducted. In this scheme, ethnographic and participatory methods are used to study the cultural renegotiation, adaptation and transformation of refugees and asylum seekers in an everyday life environment.
Nathaniel Ramos
Biography: Nathaniel Ramos is a PhD candidate from Florida State University. Nathaniel has a bachelors degree in journalism from Colorado State University and a Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Denver.
Nathaniel studies how innovations diffuse within a community and the implications of adoption for that community. His dissertation explores marathon runners and the factors of adopting smartwatches, the role of information amongst marathon runners and the impact of adopting smartwatches in the lives of marathon runners. In addition the diffusion of smartwatches, Nathaniel also exploring smartwatches and their potential uses in healthcare, case studies in failed diffusion in multiple disciplines, NFL injury data and Thursday Night Football games and performing sentiment analysis on tweets.
When not researching, Nathaniel can be found going on long drives, trying to come up with the perfect comeback to something snarky somebody said to him two days ago, cooking, debating on whether or not to adopt a puppy from an animal shelter and debating the virtues of taking a nap. For additional information visit http://nathanielramos.com
Research: Currently, I am researching the role of wearables in the marathon running community. Wearables have been playing an increasingly important role in the marathon running community as technologies have become more ubiquitous and capable of collecting increasing amounts of data. Starting with heart rate monitors in the 1970s and 1980s, athletes have been utilizing information to augment their training regiment. As more devices have been created that more accurately measure movement via the addition of accelerometers, altimeters, gyroscopes, pedometers, heart rate sensors and various other sensors, there is an increasing need to understand the factors involved in adoption, the value of this new information and the impact it has on how athletes train.
In regards to future research, I plan on further exploring factors of adoption, how innovations diffuse and the impact of those innovations within those societies. The societies that interest me the most are athletic communities and health related communities.
Kirsten Schlebbe
Biography: Kirsten Schlebbe is a doctoral student at the Berlin School of Library and Information Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany. She started working on her PhD in 2016 and is advised by Prof. Elke Greifeneder. Her research focuses on young children's digital information behaviour. In particular, she studies how young children use and interact with digital and especially mobile technologies. Through her research, she hopes to involve children's own perspectives and views more strongly in information behaviour research. Her other areas of interest include qualitative research methodology in general and different methodological, methodical and ethical aspects of conducting research with children and families. She holds both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Library and Information Science from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where she started working as a research assistant and lecturer in 2015.
Research: Whereas we notice an increasing omnipresence of digital and mobile technology in young children's daily live, so far we know little about how they actually use and interact with these technologies in detail. Therefore, my primary research interest revolves around young children's digital information behaviour, especially in connection with mobile devices. The preliminary research questions of my dissertation are: Which digital everyday life information behaviour do young children show, especially in connection with mobile devices? And how does this behaviour develop over time? To answer these questions, I am conducting different studies between spring 2017 and autumn 2018. In 2017, I conducted a qualitative interview study with parents of pre-school children who have already gained experience with the use of digital devices. This study is supposed to provide a first exploratory insight into the digital everyday life information behaviour of young children. Based on this research, the main study of my dissertation should focus more on children's own perspectives and views. Therefore, I am planning to adopt a multimethod research approach following the Mosaic approach of Clark and Moss for another study in 2018.
Brian Sutherland
Biography: You might say educational communication in science and technology by means of manipulative objects was a strong interest from an early age: Brian graduated from the Ontario Science Centre (museum) Science School, worked at Deep River Science Academy and studied Engineering Science at the University of Toronto, graduating with a BA in English and Physics. Brian also holds primary and elementary teacher's certifications in the Montessori Method. This involves learning by the manipulation of specially designed objects with sensorial and pedagogical properties. After teaching elementary and middle school Montessori for seven years, Brian moved into instructional design and e-learning in post-secondary environments. He now develops advanced digital objects and systems, with some research work in augmented reality for the University of Toronto. Brian also has a Master's Degree in Education from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, where he has taught "HSC402H5: E-Learning Environments in Health Care" and various other graduate courses for over ten years in the Biomedical Communications program. He is concurrently a Flex-Time student at the UofT Faculty of Information in the third year, studying at the Semaphore Lab with Matt Ratto. When he's not working or studying, Brian is out paddling a canoe around the Toronto watersheds or on Lake Ontario with his spouse Monique, who is an academic research librarian.
Research: It was suggested that the computer of the 21st century, (Weiser, 1991) would be a network of thousands of sensing computing devices, coordinating activity and providing care and support in the background of human societies. As the cost, energy, and network requirements for sensing computing (IoT) approach zero, the way we experience objects and environments is changing. Through the design, development and testing ("living labs" style) of speculative energy harvesting (or neutral) information services, Brian hopes to invite questions as to how sustainable pervasive computing might alter existing information-use practices. Theoretical questions include: what is the fundamental relation between energy and information? Could energy harvesting computing objects, many referred to as "perpetual" have a role in information preservation? What are the implications of information services that harvest ambient energy in order to operate, deep sleep for long periods of time before they are used, and can be embedded in physical structures, such as lighting standards, sidewalks and concrete? What role should these information services serve within the rapidly evolving technical and political environments of smart cities and open data portals?
Maor Weinberger
Biography: My name is Maor Weinberger, I am a second year doctoral student at the Department of Information Science, Bar-Ilan University, Israel. I am also a Web-intelligent analyst for an established start-up company (Evercompliant), which harvests big data tools for the monitoring and detection of online transaction laundering.
I find the fields of information security and online information behavior, to be prominent for academic research.
After investigating the field of user online privacy and anonymity behavior on my MA thesis, entitled "User Online Anonymity Awareness among Students" that produced three publications (Weinberger, Bouhnik & Zhitomirsky-Geffet, 2017; Weinberger, Zhitomirsky-Geffet & Bouhnik, 2017a; Weinberger, Zhitomirsky-Geffet & Bouhnik, 2017b), I was motivated to further examine the field of information security from other angles. Hence, in my doctoral dissertation I intend to explore the views and perceptions of information security professionals, specializing in big data applications, regarding the challenges and solutions of information security and privacy issues within enterprise systems in the age of big data.
Research: My doctoral dissertation titled "Professional Views and Perceptions regarding the Challenges and Solutions of Information Security and Privacy Issues within Enterprise Systems at the Age of Big Data" aims to comprehensively map and analyze the views and perceptions of information system administrators about the challenges faced by the information security field at the age of big data. In addition, I will strive to build a broad map of current solutions designated to cope with these challenges.
The research will be conducted using a mixed methodology combining a qualitative and a quantitative phase. In both phases, the data would be collected in a reactive manner; that is, at the quantitative phase – using semi-structured interviews and at the quantitative phase – using closed-ended questionnaires. In addition, there will be a parallel quantitative phase of content analysis of privacy policy pages, aim to corroborate the findings of the first and second phases.
At the qualitative phase, the study will be conducted among 20-25 information system administrators in organizations from various fields (infrastructure, finances, academia and government). At the quantitative phase, the study will be conducted among 150-200 information security employees from the participating organizations. These employees will be approached through the administrator that was being interviewed at the first phase of data collection.

6. primary resistance form This is that shape and placement of cavity walls that best enables both the restoration and tooth to withstand without fracture the masticatory forces delivered principally along the long axis of the tooth. Measure the coil's primary winding resistance with ohmmeter. z e1 = r e1 + jx e1. The Pythagorean theorem is written: c 2 = a 2 + b 2. In many areas of German-occupied Europe, resistance took other forms such as aid, rescue, and spiritual resistance. Normal resistance must be less than 1Ω. Therefore the total resistance of primary circuit. (a) Primary (Main): Nominal Voltage Amps Overcurrent Protection: Type Amps Location (of Primary Supply Panelboard): Disconnecting Means Location: (b) Secondary (Standby): Storage Battery: Amp-Hr Rating Calculated capacity in Amp-Hrs to operate system for hours Engine-driven generator dedicated to fire alarm system: Location of fuel storage: This form of resistance included sabotage, such as breaking tools or setting fire to buildings. Primary resistance: Lower internal resistance raises output—but get too low, and you can damage the ignition system. Thus, the total leakage impedance of transformer referred to primary side is given as. acts of resistance. Resistance to Japanese American Internment: Gordon Hirabayashi, Fred Korematsu and the No-No Boys (1940s – 1990s) Use a voltmeter to check whether battery voltage is applied to the coil's positive terminal (usually "2") and chassis ground. Turns ratio: Up to a point, … Transformer Winding Resistance The ideal transformer has no resistance, but in the actual transformer, there is always some resistance to the primary and secondary windings. Another often-cited example of Chinese resistance to exclusionary immigration laws was the 'paper son' phenomenon, which is also well-documented in Salyer's book. Logistic management resistance This category of resistance consists of behavior patterns clients engage in that violate the basics rules underlying the practice of counseling. Since the lines form a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length (value) of the impedance line. x e1 = x 1 + x 2 ' x e1 is called the equivalent reactance of transformer referred to primary side. To qualify, taxpayers must sell only their primary residence. Switch ignition on but do not start the engine. Organized armed resistance was the most direct form of oppo-sition to the Nazis. For this application, the variable, a is equal to the resistance, b is equal to the inductive reactance, and c is equal to the impedance. For making the calculation easy the resistance of the transformer can be transferred to the either side. Resistance by partisan fighters using "hit-and-run" guerilla tactics during the war Other methods of day-to-day resistance were feigning illness, playing dumb, or slowing down work.

I kicked off the new year on January 2nd with a private lesson in The Boom Boom Room with my Gold Star student Leslie Hughes from from Grand Junction CO, who stops by Rancho Improvisoso for new insights into the world of pan-global percussion whenever her globe-trotting quest for the perfect groove brings her to Baja Arizona. As always in a genuine student-teacher relationship, I learned as much from her as she did from me: so much so that we had to schedule a second session on January 10th when Leslie and her husband Pat came back through the Old Pueblo on their way home from San Diego.
On January 5th, R. Carlos Nakai & Will Clipman performed as part of the Grand Opening of the new Summit Room at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula CA, along with the traditional Pechanga Bird Singers, the Fancy Moccasins inter-tribal dancers and the 1491s comedy troupe. We had a ball inaugurating the huge new ballroom, as did the audience.

The XX: XX (2009)
César Lozano May 5, 2010 May 24, 2018 Reviews
(Young Turks)
The XX are not blazing new musical or lyrical paths. When you first hear their debut record, "XX", it does not immediately jump out and grab your attention and shake you into realization that this is a great record. It does not do it, not because of some failure of these South-Londoners but because that is not the intention. You will not find any party tracks here that will be played ad nauseam for a couple months until the drunken and drugged out kids grow tired of it's once novel hook. However, this all does not mean that "XX" is a mediocre record. Quite the opposite. Even though it songs tell tales of longing, deceit, and other common lost love subject matter, these four (now three) really young musicians manage to pull off a record usually crafted after numerous releases.
Yes, the members for the band (Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim, Jamie Smith, and formerly Baria Qureshi) are quite young but within the eleven tracks presented here we get an unspoiled unsought to a damaged relationship as it goes from barely getting on to downright destructive and finally to acceptance of each other. The two singers routinely travel the songs with a call and response that grounds the narrative of the record. They hardly ever sing above a calm whisper and Oliver's voice isn't always the perfect compliment to Romy's but it works in a way that let's the listener truly believe these are feelings and experiences they've lived through and are currently going through and not just something they thought would be cool to write a song or two about.
The instrumentation is fairly stripped down, consisting mainly of a drum machine, bass, two guitars and a keyboard sprinkled throughout but it really is this stripped back feel that gives the record it's quality since the tracks are not hidden behind layers of production. You hear Romy's quavering vocal take as she keeps repeating in "Shelter", "Maybe I said something that was wrong, Can I make it better with the lights turned on." When a song ends mid-bar and a guitar note is left hanging as in "Infinity" you notice.
The record itself is definitely a "headphone" record, something to put on and enjoy through from beginning to end and hear how in it's simplicity it accomplishes more than many other records that cover lack of talent with layers of instruments and effects. There is nothing wrong with placing layer upon layer of sounds if done with reason, but there is definitely something to be said about a band that can create something sound grand with the essentials.
This might not be a perfect record, keeping a very monotonous feel, similar stylings, beats per minute, and vocals throughout. But it somehow all works and creates one of the more intimate and "real" record narratives I've personally heard in a while. As has probably been said many times. If this is their debut, I am truly excited for a fantastic career to come.

Public Health in the Developing World: Tackling Vector-Borne Diseases
By Matthew O. Geldard.
One of the most pressing policy issues of the modern era is how to improve public health in the world's poorest regions. Of particular concern are those diseases spread by mosquitos: the World Health Organisation estimates a total of 96 million cases of dengue and, in 2017 alone, 219 million cases of malaria. Policies targeting such vector-borne diseases (VBDs) represent nothing new. However, there seems to be a continuing inability to move the agenda from one of disease reduction to eradication: clearly, current policy initiatives are not proving effective enough.
This report aims to tackle this issue by outlining the problems associated with current policies and how they can be addressed through epidemiological innovation, with need to not only improve the efficacy of such policies, but also their cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Two innovative policies will be presented: that of manipulating the urban environment to reduce mosquito habitat and of harnessing predation pressure to better regulate mosquito populations.

A Cutting-edge IP Litigation: the European Front of CRISPR Patent War
By Michele Sanguanini
CRISPR/Cas9 is a gene editing technology that is revolutionising the way that scientists design biomedical research. In addition to this, CRISPR/Cas9 is opening promising avenues for applications in gene therapy, manufacturing, and agriculture. The commercial and disruptive potential of this invention is so promising that it sparked a 'gold rush' towards patenting CRISPR/Cas technologies. Two principal players weighed in to define the CRISPR/Cas9 patent landscape in the US: the University of California Berkeley (UCB) and the Broad Institute, a joint MIT-Harvard research institute. This ultimately led to a high-profile patent battle in front of the US Patent Trial and Appeal Board, where the Broad Institute prevailed in the first instance. The dispute, however, continues worldwide. In this Communication, I will focus on the European front of this litigation; the problem being not only who owns this technology in Europe, but also what are the potential impacts of patent conflicts between academic institutions on European policy and law.
Data Governance in the Genomics Era
By Emma Lawrence
In recent years, the volume of data generated from all aspects of our lives has been increasing, in parallel with the sophistication of analytical techniques used to process this data. This shift toward a 'data-driven' society has the potential to yield insights that can benefit many sectors of public life, but it has also prompted concerns related to privacy. A recent report by the Royal Society on data management and use is a recognition that the fast pace of all areas of data growth requires careful consideration.
Innovation in the Fight Against Infectious Diseases
By Daniela Rodriguez-Rincon
The discovery of antibiotics in 1928 led the world to believe that the fight against infectious diseases was one to be won within a few years. Nowadays, nearly 90 years following the discovery of penicillin, infectious diseases remain one of the main causes of mortality worldwide, with lower respiratory tract infections, diarrhoeal diseases, and tuberculosis ranking among the top 10 causes of death according to the World Health Organization (WHO) [1]. In recent years, the advent of antibiotic resistance, the anti-vaccination movement, and humanitarian crises have seen a rise in infectious diseases that were once thought to be nearly eradicated, such as polio, tuberculosis and measles.
On the Road to 2025: The Global Dementia Decline
Most diseases have sudden well-defined symptoms, but isn't forgetfulness just a part of ageing? How do you know when you should be concerned?
by Philip Lindstedt
With the increasing life expectancy of the global population age-associated diseases stand to become the greatest plague of the 21st century. Indeed, in the U.K. dementia has recently overtaken heart disease as the leading cause of death. While not through a lack of effort, the development of effective therapies for dementias, especially Alzheimer's disease, the most prevalent form, has been woefully unsuccessful. Policy makers around the globe have settled on a deadline of 2025 for a single effective therapy against Alzheimer's in order to mitigate the potentially immense cost of the care burden. Although some candidates appear promising, recent high-profile failures showcase the difficult path towards 2025, casting doubt on the possibility for researchers to meet their deadline in the current policy paradigm.

Australia's plantation boom has gone bust, so let's make them carbon farms
Jason Alexandra, Charles Darwin University
In the rolling hills of Victoria's Strzelecki Ranges, among paddocks of pasture and potatoes, stands a simple steel monument to the world's tallest tree. The tree itself, which stood a mighty 115 m tall, was chopped down in the 1880s so that a registered surveyor could measure it.
Almost a century and a half later, Australia's attitude to its forests is seemingly no less perverse.
Not chopping it down might have been a more fitting tribute.
Author provided
Not far north of where the tree once stood is the Latrobe Valley, dominated by some of Australia's most carbon-intensive coalmines and power stations. Covering much of the surrounding hills are timber plantations, which store tonnes of carbon. Plantations can be used to soak up emissions – except the current rules don't officially recognise this.
Intensive plantations don't count as carbon sinks under Australia's carbon farming rules. The boom that led to the creation of almost a million hectares of new plantation timber died with the global financial crisis – but with a bit of smart thinking these could be put to use as carbon farms, rather than being allowed to die off and returned to pasture.
The see-sawing fortunes of Australian forestry have largely been driven by government policy. The 1990s saw major policy reforms, which spawned protests (including log trucks blockading the national parliament) and ultimately resulted in a widespread expansion of timber plantations.
The area of eucalyptus plantations grew from almost nothing in 1998 to about 1 million hectares by 2008, spurred by a massive influx of finance encouraged by the Managed Investments Act (1998), which turned plantations into tax-effective investments.
But then came the global financial crisis, which saw Managed Investment Scheme (MIS) companies like Timbercorp and Great Southern Plantations go bust. Shareholders and investors lost out, but the plantations themselves were in the ground.
Since then, plantation ownership has been consolidated into the hands of a few dominant players such as NewForests, which acquired more than 700,000 ha, and Global Forest Partners (more than 150,000 ha).
An expensive experiment
Some MIS plantations were poorly sited, in terms of climate and soils, used inappropriate species, or suffered pest or disease problems. Some have been written off, bulldozed and returned to pasture. Many more are likely to be.
Current estimates suggest that a third of the eucalyptus plantations are uneconomic with harvesting unlikely, another third will probably be harvested but are unlikely to be replanted. The rest will form Australia's future hardwood estate. In this sense it has been a massive and expensive experiment.
This story shows the power of financial incentives, but reflects the problem of using tax inducements to fund an industry. For investors, tax deductions became the primary goal, rather than the quality of the investment.
The plantations' boom and bust, with its focus on using fast money for fast-growing eucalypts, mostly for pulpwood, has obscured other important opportunities.
First, it shifted the focus away from the opportunities of integrating forestry into farming systems.
Second, the reputation of Australian forestry and forestry investments has almost certainly suffered.
Third, it may have blinded us to the potential of using Australia's rich diversity of tree species for other purposes. Australia's genetic gifts to the world include trees that grow prolifically in poor soils, can withstand fire and drought, store carbon, and produce hard, strong, richly coloured timbers.
A treasure trove for carbon farmers.
T. Grove/CSIRO/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY
Already planted across millions of hectares throughout the world, Australia's eucalypts, acacias and casuarinas offer a genetic treasure trove for carbon farming.
With much to learn about Australia's diverse and productive flora – including how to farm it for carbon – it seems perverse that investment in Australian forestry research and education is now declining.
Carbon crops
Carbon markets and emerging technologies could fundamentally alter the way we conceive of trees as crops.
With a million hectares of eucalyptus plantation approaching maturity, there is almost certainly an active search for commercial markets for the standing timber – as wood fibre, for bioenergy fuel, or for non-wood products.
Nonetheless, large areas are likely to be reconverted to pasture, resulting in less carbon being stored in these landscapes. But there's another, even simpler option for what to do with these plantations.
Perhaps it is time to reconsider whether to credit the carbon captured by these trees, given that their plantings were sponsored by our taxes. Changes to the carbon farming rules might make these and other multi-use plantations more viable.
The Australian Forest Industry estimates that Australia's Kyoto-compliant forestry plantations (those established on cleared land since 1990) offset about 4.5% of Australia's total emissions, but these are not credited under Australia's Carbon Farming Initiative.
There are no approved CFI methodologies for plantations that sequester carbon and produce commercial timbers, but if there were, multipurpose plantations could form a key plank of Australia's Direct Action carbon abatement policy.
In addition to carbon, there is potential for plantings that deliver economic development and ecological benefits in terms of restoring landscapes. But new models of plantations are needed, supported with different policy setting that drive their development.
Any large-scale bio-energy or carbon plantings in the future need to heed the lessons from Australia's plantation boom and bust. In emerging carbon-constrained economies, how we define resources in rural landscapes, including carbon credits, will literally shape our future.

As an expressionistic print maker I compose with digital technology and merge the resulting designs into traditional printing making. I create prints in a variety of techniques that includes solar etching, lithography and silkscreen. In my creative process I use distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect. I apply vivid and dynamic color, overlapping transparent color with opaque color. I combine flat space with cubical space. My work interweaves, juxtaposes and superimposes images from American and Mexican popular cultures that include icons, symbols, art history and the contemporary world to foster opportunities for the bending of meaning.

Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables projects a thirteenfold increase in grid-scale storage over the next six years. Here's a market-by-market breakdown.
By: Jeff St. John
For the energy storage industry, the past five years have been something of a stage rehearsal for a market explosion to come, led by the U.S. and China, but expanding to cover markets across the globe.
That's the picture painted by Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewable's latest report, Global Energy Storage Outlook 2019: 2018 Year in Review and Outlook to 2024. Tuesday's report projects that energy storage deployments will grow thirteenfold over the next six years, from a 12 gigawatt-hour market in 2018 to a 158 gigawatt-hour market in 2024.
That equates to $71 billion in investment into storage systems excluding pumped hydro, with $14 billion of that coming in 2024 alone. This growth will be concentrated in the United States and China, which will account for 54 percent of global deployments by 2024, followed by Japan, Australia and South Korea in a second tier of growth markets, and Germany, Canada, India and the U.K. rounding out the list.
Each of these markets is taking its own approach to integrating energy storage into its grid operations and market structures, from the state-by-state development in the U.S. to China's five-year plan. But they share a commitment to relatively aggressive renewables growth targets, along with the attendant challenges of integrating an increasing share of intermittent wind and solar power into the grid.
And much like the renewables that are driving their growth, the batteries that make up the lion's share of new storage systems being deployed are falling in price. That's positioning them for a much broader integration into grid operations beyond renewables integration, Ravi Manghani, WoodMac's head of storage research, noted in a Tuesday interview: "Over the last five years, the world began to experiment with storage; in the next five, storage will become a key grid asset."
Last year saw global energy storage deployments grow 147 percent year-over-year to reach 3.3 gigawatts, or 6 gigawatt-hours, the report states. That's nearly double the average 74 percent compound annual growth rate for the industry from 2013 to 2018. In fact, last year's deployments made up more than half of the total amount of storage deployed in the past five years, "indicating an inflection in storage demand," Manghani said.
This inflection point is measured not only in terms of project volume, but in the variety of regulatory and market structures allowing these projects to be financed and built, he noted. The past half-decade of energy storage growth has been driven by a relatively limited and isolated set of revenue streams, as well as government incentives designed to jump-start development in advance of the market structures to unlock the value of storage, he said.
From 2019 to 2024, WoodMac projects a more mature but still early-stage compound annual growth rate of 38 percent for key storage markets, but with a far broader set of money-making opportunities for the systems being installed. This will include a shift from short-duration systems providing high-value, but limited-size markets such as frequency regulation, to long-duration systems that can start to displace diesel, oil and natural-gas peaker plants.
A market-by-market breakdown
We've already covered WoodMac's growth projections for the U.S. energy storage market, the world's biggest at present, and still expected to retain that position by 2024, if only just ahead of China. The U.S. deployed a record 311 megawatts and 777 megawatt-hours of energy storage in 2018, but that market is expected to double in 2019 and triple in 2020, according to last month's Energy Storage Monitor from WoodMac and the Energy Storage Association.
This growth will continue to be driven by key markets like California, the country's leader in behind-the-meter batteries, and other states with gigawatt-scale energy storage deployment mandates such as New York and Massachusetts. But it will also be driven by utilities adopting storage for capacity or as part of large-scale solar projects, as with recent large-scale contracts in Hawaii, Texas, Minnesota and Colorado.
And of course, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order 841, which orders the country's regional wholesale market operators to open up energy, capacity and ancillary services markets to energy storage, will create new market opportunities.
Turning to Asia, "we've seen China wake up in terms of energy storage, and slightly ahead of schedule," Manghani said. China saw a 40 percent year-over-year energy storage market growth in 2018, driven by more than 300 megawatts, or nearly 500 megawatt-hours, of utility-scale deployment.
In November 2017, China's government announced a 10-year plan for developing its own grid-scale energy storage industry. This was partly a means of supporting and building upon its already massive dominance in battery manufacturing for electric vehicles, but it's also a response to China's mounting grid challenges — namely, integrating the massive amounts of wind and solar power being built in remote western regions to the country's urban east.
And when China decides to build grid batteries, it builds them at scale. "The majority of the deployments are currently pilot-scale projects — but when China does pilot-scale projects, we're talking about tens of megawatt-hours," Manghani said. Last year saw one 101-megawatt/202-megawatt-hour energy storage project come online in Jiangsu, and another 240-megawatt/720 megawatt-hour project approved in Gansu to reduce renewables curtailment.
In the next five years, several more large-scale energy storage projects to support grid reliability and flexibility are expected to come online. About 65 percent of China's 2018 installed capacity was developed by the State Grid Corporation of China for ancillary services purposes, indicating the importance of central planning for growth.
South Korea represents a similar story of how government planning can drive massive energy storage market growth, with a new policy to allow storage-backed wind and solar projects to earn renewable energy certificates worth five times their capacity value driving a massive boom in 2018. From less than 10 megawatt-hours deployed in 2017, South Korea's utility-scale and commercial-industrial behind-the-meter deployments boomed to 1,100 megawatt-hours in 2018, with nearly $400 million in energy storage investments and a pipeline of projects that's already overshot its goal of 800 megawatt-hours by 2020.
Australia, by contrast, has been driven by solar-plus-storage projects on the residential side of the market, due to its competitive energy markets and the increasingly attractive economics of self-generated solar power. Australia led the world in residential storage in 2018 with 150 megawatts, or 300 megawatt-hours, of systems deployed. Japan ranked a close second in residential storage, taking a slight lead over Germany in terms of 2018 deployments, although Germany still retains the lead in total number of systems deployed, at about 860 megawatt-hours.
At the same time, policy shifts can have an impact on global energy storage markets. The U.K. installed its own record-setting 408 megawatts/325 megawatt-hours of utility-scale storage in 2018. But as these figures indicate, this boom was largely in the form of shorter-duration battery systems, which could see their value decrease significantly under changes to the U.K.'s capacity market mechanism to de-rate shorter-duration systems in favor of multi-hour storage.
At the same time, a November European court ruling against the U.K.'s capacity market mechanism — along with the broader uncertainty over how the country's departure from the EU under Brexit could affect its energy future — has created challenges for the market.
Likewise, in Canada, last year's efforts to incorporate energy storage into wholesale markets in Ontario and Alberta have been counterbalanced somewhat by the new Ontario government's decision to cancel hundreds of renewable energy projects.

Dr. Nkrumah, President of the Republic of Ghana, First Citizen and Founder of the State, was born in a small village in Western Ghana in 1909. He was educated in a Catholic Mission school, and became a pupil teacher.
Later on, he joined Achimota College and received his teaching diploma. His belief in education never betrays him. When he could have taken a money-bringing job, he taught his people in the hours of their need, as he is still doing.
Then he went to the United States and joined Lincoln University, where he received his degree, majoring in Economics and Sociology. In the University of Pennsylvania, he received his Master of Arts degree in Philosophy and Education. For some time, he also lectured in political Science at the Lincoln University. In 1945 he went to London to read Law and write a thesis.
The Giant of Africa, as a man of remarkable qualities, has won the respect and admiration of the world by his meteoric and dramatic assent and unwavering strength.
President Nkrumah, the symbol of a sincere and dedicated African, true to his pledge said once: "Bury me alive, if I do not give Ghana her independence." When Ethiopia was devastated by the Italian Vikings of the 20th century, indeed when they came to civilize Ethiopia with bombs and poison gas, he earnestly prayed to God, that "the day might come, when he would play a part in the liquidation of colonialism."
Wherever he went, he never forgot his burning love for Ghana and Africa at large. Even in his capacities as a student, he organized conferences and unions - the main purpose being the freedom of Mother Africa, the blood stream of agricultural riches - and yet, a continent where her sons and daughters lived in poverty, indignation and maltreatment. In Manchester, with the help of the Honorable Jomo Kenyatta, George Padmore, T.R. Mekonnen, and the half-blooded Ethiopian novelist Peter Abrahams, he organized the Pan African Conference.
In 1946, he went to West Africa and became the General Secretary of the United Gold Coast Convention's Party. Though, the then British government kept him twice in prison, on charges of sedition, and of his so called, "communistic tendencies", that was not the end of the rising tide of Africa's liberation movement. He fought for what he believed was right, and for what he was dedicated to perform. Through his writings, his personal magnetism, and patriotically inspiring oratory, he instilled in the minds of his people, the sacrifices to be made for freedom's sake, and the lasting rewards to be achieved from it.
To say that the party which he organized triumphed in the elections that -were held, that he became a prime minister, that through a universal election he became a President, that he made Ghana partly what it is "forward ever, backwards never," to a glorious era of liberty, peace, honor and prestige, is not much to a man of his caliber and capacity.
President Nkrumah is a mouth-piece of Mother Africa, and a devoted Panafricanist .In one of his autobiographies he says: "I have never regarded the struggles for the independence of the Gold Coast, as an isolated objective, but always as a part of a general world historical pattern."
In one of his memoirs again he says: "Ghana's independence is meaningless, unless it is linked with every inch of African territory." In order to promote the cause of Pan-Africanism, "Conferences of Independent African States," and "all African People's Conferences" have been held in Accra. The Ghana-Guinea-Mali Union has been achieved. When President Kwame Nkrumah paid an official state visit to Ethiopia in 1956, exchange of diplomatic missions, trade pacts, and air service agreements were signed. Among other things, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, and President Nkrumah also agreed to continue their fights for African liberation and world peace.
When the imperialists attempted to revive the dead fashion of colonialism such as in the Congo, Dr. Nkrumah suggested that an African Military High Command should be organized. When he found out that the European Common Market is designed to enslave and exploit Africa economically, using the continent as dumping grounds for European surplus mass production, he suggested an African Common Market.
Many African leaders think of the United States of Africa as a distant goal for the far future. Instead of political unity, they suggest economic unity. But President Nkrumah believes that unless political unity is formed first, "Africa may be Balkanized, divided permanently into dozens of small states, some leaning towards the West, some to the East, and others neutral in the international struggle." Even economic unity may not be effective, since the materials produced by African States are in the majority of cases, basically the same.
President Nkrumah stands for the entire liquidation of colonialism and imperialism, in all of their manifestations, and last but not least, for peace, prosperity and happiness of the human race.
As far as Ghana is concerned, under his leadership, the country has become "dynamic, alive and bursting with energy," a country fully prepared to emancipate Africa, and will never rest until the last "vestiges of colonialism and discrimination have been obliterated" forever from African soil. The Ghanaians live today better, happier, and fuller life, than ever before.

Q: Final touchups to a word doc I have a completed PhD thesis in word and I need to finalize it.  I don't want a minor edit (like a change to a page #) to throw all the other pages off -  I want to freely edit the word doc.
Is there a way to turn it into a "touch" up doc, so I can finalize my changes?

A: If all of your tables and references are inserted as fields (EG the table of contents and tables of figures) then no matter what changes you make, an update will resolve any references so long as the fields are unlocked (the default).

'Mein Kampf' signed by Hitler sold at auction
Feb 28, 2014, 10:56 PM
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Two rare, early editions of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" have sold for $64,850 at a Los Angeles auction.
There were 11 bids Thursday for the 1925 and 1926 editions of the book, both of which were signed by Hitler.
Auction manager Laura Yntema (Ein-teh-ma) at Nate D. Sanders Auctions says the books were purchased by an anonymous U.S. buyer.
According to the auction house, Hitler gave the books to Josef Bauer, an early follower who participated in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch in Munich.
Volumes of "Mein Kampf" from the 1930s are common, but a copy signed by the author is rare.
The volumes feature Hitler's signature with best wishes to his friend for the Christmas season.
The sale price includes a 25 percent commission paid to the auction house.


We had been hearing for a while that the IWA show in Nuremberg Germany was Europe's version of SHOT show. Always looking to gain more dealers and distributors, we decided to check it out for ourselves. Mike Perrin attended the show in 2018 as a scouting mission, and he and Jeff felt that there was only one way to find out if it was worth our while, and that was to set up a booth there.
Chief Operating Officer Bruce Bramlett, Marketing Director Shane Adams, and I flew from Atlanta to Frankfurt. From there we took a two-hour train ride to Nuremberg, and then another short train to the convention center. We located our booth space and set everything up. Since we were traveling light, set up wasn't a big undertaking like it is at SHOT and Blade show.
There were many recognizable brands present and we ran into several familiar faces from Condor Knife and Tool, TOPS, Cold Steel, Casstrom, Helle, Mora and so on.
Over the next four days we confirmed our thoughts that ESEE is a very popular brand in Europe. Many fans came by showing us their Izulas, telling us which knife was their favorite, and even two that showed us their ESEE tattoos! We talked with many folks interested in becoming dealers and a few possible distributors. Catalogs, stickers, and patches all flew off the counters as fast as we could restock them.
IWA was a great show for us and our European fans should look for us to be there in the future!

Q: IServiceCollection does not contain definition for AddQuartz I'm trying to use Quartz sheduker in my asp core 2.0 project.
I downloaded Quartz 3.0.4 using nuget and after that i added services.AddQuartz(new QuartezOptions {});
to ConfigureService function in Startup.cs
I also have the same problem with app.UseQuartz()
Thats, how Startup.cs is looking now:
using AspProj.Map;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;
using Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Quartz;

namespace AspProj
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Configuration = configuration;
        }

    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddDbContext<CacheDbContext>(opt => opt.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DB")));
        services.AddScoped<CacheDbContext>();
        services.AddMvc();

        services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
        {
            c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Info { Title = "API", Version = "v1" });
        });

        services.AddQuartz(new QuartezOptions { });
    }

    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
        }
        else
        {
            app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
        }

        app.UseSwagger();
        app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
        {
            c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "DbApi V1");
        });

        app.UseStaticFiles();

        app.UseMvc(routes =>
        {
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "default",
                template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
        });

        app.UseQuartz();
    }
}

}
I tried to connect different Quartz namespaces through using, but it has no use.
I just keep getting "IServiceCollection does not contain definition for AddQuartz" from visual studio 2017.
error screenshot
I cant find any information about someone with the same problem as me.
Did sombody knows, how can i fix this?

A: Try to add the Quartz namespace in your dependencies and this should work:
using Quartz;
Also ensure that the proper package has been installed:
dotnet add package Quartz.Extensions.Hosting

A: need to install package Quartz.NET Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
