Q: segmentaion fault in deletion of node in B-tree
Possible Duplicate:
Segmentation fault in btree implementation

I had already posted this question earlier asking for a help and i got some suggestion of how to debug, but still i am stuck in the same segmentation fault problem and not able to remove it please help me out, i have started c coding and i tried my best to debug it before posting it here again
Here M  is the order of the tree, M = 5 means it can have 5 children and 4 keys,
1> press 1 it will insert keys automatically,( here i have input 20 numbers using a loop) so just press 1 data will be entered.
2 > Press 4 it will display.
3> Then go for delete option, if i try deleting either 71/84 it give an segmentation fault or throws memory map.

A: This is a lot to sift through, and this kind of stuff isn't easy (on purpose!)
Something that jumps out at me is this
if (p[0] == NULL)
    {
        if (pos == n || key < key_arr[pos])
            return SearchFailure;
        /*Shift keys and pointers left*/
        for (i=pos+1; i < n; i++)
        {
            key_arr[i-1] = key_arr[i];
            p[i] = p[i+1];
        }
        return --ptr->n >= (ptr==root ? 1 : min) ? Success : LessKeys;
    }/*End of if */

What if p[1] is also null? All that will do is move p[1] into p[0]. Perhaps you need a function called "node reduce" or something that "moves the nodes to the front of the node?"

A: I found the error causing segmentation fault in this case by valgrind, and answered it in your other post. Please have a look at my answer.

Q: Testing for client validations in Rails views In the Rails application that I am working on I have a page that should display an error message when a field is not populated and the form is submitted.
The client side validation on the field is done using jQuery and it works fine from the browser , when I test it manually
The form is stopped from being submitted at all when data for a field is not entered by the user.
What are my options to write a test for this

*

*I looked at Jasmine, but it seems to be more useful when i want to test the javascript function itself , not helpful to test if the event is firing correctly on the page.( let me know if i am wrong on this)

*I looked at rspec and wrote a test like this
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'Sample Test Page' do

   it 'should show error when Some Field is not specified' do
     visit  '/sample_page'
     click_button "Submit"
     page.should have_content 'You forgot to Enter details in Some Field'
  end
end

but what is happening here is that the form gets submitted without the validation firing at all and I get an error ( since the application throws an error for blank value)
What is my best option ? Is there another tools that will help me test this in the Rails philosophy ?

A: If you need to test JavaScript in integration tests, you need to explicitly specify it to pick a web driver supporting JavaScript.
In your case you used Webrat, it is fast but does not support JS, so your test failed.
The default web driver for Javascript is Selenium. To enable it, just change this line
describe 'Sample Test Page' do

To
describe 'Sample Test Page', js: true do

Then all tests under this block will run on Selenium. You'll see a real browser pop up to run your test.

Q: Android AddMarker stop working today I have problem with my apps, 2 weeks ago apps working. Today stop... Google Maps loading but dont addMarkers and dont getlatlong. I try everyting. Here is my code:
private void initilizeMap() {
    if (googleMap == null) {
        googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
                R.id.map)).getMap();

        // check if map is created successfully or not
        if (googleMap == null) {
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Sorry! unable to create maps",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
    lm = (LocationManager)  getActivity().getSystemService(getActivity().LOCATION_SERVICE);
    location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); // <5>
    if (location != null) {
        Log.d(TAG, location.toString());
        this.onLocationChanged(location); // <6>
    }
    }

I add marker like that:
    Marker m = googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                        .title("title")
                        .position(new LatLng(lat, lng)));

I dont know why that stop working.;/ In manifest i got all permission.

Little People, Big Dreams: Marilyn Monroe
Meet Marilyn Monroe, the iconic movie star.
Little Norma Jeane grew up between foster homes, an orphanage, and a family friend's house – where she was forbidden from watching movies. Through her difficult childhood and teen years, she dreamed of becoming an actress. One day a photographer spotted her and gave her a modelling contract, and from this day she was "Marilyn Monroe". She was much-admired but suffered from pre-performance anxiety, which made her late to set and in-and-out of movie contracts. Her films grossed over $200 million but she was known to have said "I don't want to make money. I just want to be wonderful." This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the star's life.

It's a fundraiser! It's a party! It's history (sort of)!
The celebration begins at the Elks Lodge, 40 Maple Street, in Summit at 6 pm with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Enjoy unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks followed by a delicious dinner. At 8 pm the Dreamcatcher ensemble will bring you the History of the Theatre: ABRIDGED, because who has the time for all those details? This highly selective and patently un-scholarly survey will take you from the Greeks through the present day, with all the boring stuff left out.


When New Namek is suddenly attacked by an unidentified planet, Earth's guardian Dende senses the plight of his people. As is often the case, he calls upon Goku for help and the usual band of heroic warriors set out on yet another adventure. After enduring a fairly tedious journey, they arrive on the planet and encounter an army of robots who are looking to use the Namekians as fuel for their spaceship. Goku demands that the robots leave peacefully, but their leader emerges and states himself to be "Cooler". It appears that somehow a powerful enemy has been resurrected, and now Goku will be forced to defeat him all over again.
If you read my review of 'Cooler's Revenge', then you'll no doubt be aware that I wasn't exactly thrilled by the emergence of Frieza's long-lost brother, Cooler. As you can imagine, seeing his name in the title for this follow-up immediately got my gears grinding, especially when you consider that he was completely obliterated by the end of the previous movie. But, seeing as how this is the 'Dragon Ball Z' universe, death rarely seems to be permanent so Cooler is back and he's bigger and badder than ever. Thankfully though, they don't really dwell too much on his reappearance and it's clear that he is just intended as the muscle behind this latest threat to the Earth. Beyond that, the film is really just one giant fight scene that makes for a pleasantly short if somewhat unoriginal outing.
Of course, the main reason that 'The Return of Cooler' manages to entertain is the inclusion of some decently put-together fight scenes. Unsurprisingly, the big battle that takes up most of the running time is Goku versus Cooler, and I'd go so far as to say it's probably one of the best of the movie fights thus far. It features a good amount of regular hand-to-hand combat as well as a number of the over-the-top special moves that we all know and love. It also pushes things up a notch by including Vegeta, and the pair find themselves pushed to their limits as they attempt to find a way to beat this seemingly invincible enemy. Admittedly the climax is a little disappointing but it's still enough to satisfy, and it helps that we get a few mini battles featuring the other characters inbetween.
While I wasn't exactly thrilled to see the return of this particular enemy, 'Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler' is still a solid ride that is a carried by an abundance of action. If you're a fan of the franchise looking to see the gang back in action, then this is definitely a decent time filler.


In this process we will describe how the After Effects timeline works and also go through some basic operations with keyframe set up.
The Timeline is one of the most important section in Adobe After Effects. In the Timeline you can edit the sequence in which your animation elements appear on the Main Window . The Timeline allows you to add and modify basic settings of your elements, such as Position , Opacity , Scale , Rotation etc. Also, through the Timeline you can apply and edit effects on your elements. These modifications are possible through the assignment of keyframes , which we will explore below.
You can adjust the length of your timeline if you go to Menu --> Composition --> Composition Settings --> Duration . Notice that the total length of your timeline changes.
You can adjust the scale of the timeline by moving the upper slider. Scaling the timeline works as a zooming procedure that increases resolution, so that you can operate on the keyframes more accurately. Also, you can preview a limited part of your Work Area , in the case that you want to preview a small part of your animation and not run it from the beginning each time you want to test how it looks. The images below show how the two the operation works.
Understanding how keyframes work is fundamental for creating any kind of motion graphics. Keyframes are what an animator uses to indicate key points within an animation. In Adobe After Effects, keyframes are used in exactly the same way as animators used them in all kinds of animations. We set a keyframe when we want to indicate an important moment of our animation and then assign a second keyframe to indicate another moment and After Effects will create the transition from one keyframe to the other. Generally, a motion is indicated by at least two keyframes, one that indicates the initial position of the object and one that indicated its final position.
Now we will go through some basic keyframe settings. One of the most common settings you will be doing in After Effects is animating the Position of an object. Other important settings are the Scale , Rotation , and Opacity . All these settings can be accessed in the same place in After Effects interface. To adjust these settings for any layer in the scene, click on the little arrow next to the Layer icon in the Layer window . A drop down will appear. Click on the arrow next to the Transform option. Notice that a drop down appears that includes all the basic settings.
Position : In order to animate the Position of an object, we first need to assign the starting position of the first Keyframe .To do that, first grab the object and place it to the position where you want your animation to start from. Then, set the Current time indicator to the point on the Timeline where you want your animation to start from (this point could be 0 or any other instance of the timeline). Then, click on the "stopwatch" icon next to the Position . Notice that a little "diamond" appears on the Timeline . This is your first keyframe . Remember that to animate the position you need at least two keyframes. To set the second keyframe, move the Current time indicator to a second point on the Timeline and then drag the object to the position. Notice that a second Template:Keyframe is automatically created.
The process can be followed in exactly the same way for the other setting in the Transform section of the layer.
The animation path is the trajectory that the animated object follows. The animation path includes the keyframes as points along a line. You can modify the positions of your keyframes, manually by dragging the points of the animation path. One interesting thing to notice is that the path curve, is a bezier curve and it allows you to deform it by adjusting the handles that are located in every point (keyframe) on the curve.
In the case that you want your object to move along a certain path, you can use any mask or any paths for instance, from Photoshop, Illustrator or from a shape created in After Effects. In this example we will create an animation path from an Ellipse and paste it to an object on the scene.
To create a Mask Path from an Ellipse shape, create a new Layer, select it and draw an Ellipse on the scene. Notice that a Mask section is created in the attributes of your layer.
Click on the small arrow next to the Mask section, select the Mask Path and paste it to the Position of the layer you want to apply the path to.
Notice that your layer is now moving along the new path theta has several, linear keyframes.
Notice that if you click to one of the Keyframes , you can stretch them, they remain equally spaced.
The Parent Layer operation allows you to link two layers. This means the chill layer obtains all the characteristic of the Parent layer. For instance, in this example the child layers obtains the same animation path as the parent layer. To link two layers check if the Parent column is visible. If it is not, right click on the layer grey bar area and select which columns you want to be visible. Select the layer the you want to link, click on the small icon in the Parent column and drag it to the name of the layer that is going to be the Parent layer. Notice that the name in the drop down menu in the parent column has changed from None to the name of the parent layer.
The Null Object is a layer object that you can link other layers to. In the previous example of the animation path, we pasted an animation path from one object to another. Instead of pasting the animation directly to an object, you can try pasting it the Null Object . So, the Null Object will travel on this path. We can combine this operation with the Parent Layer operation and make our object as child to the Null Object . Take this layer and make it the child of the Null Object same way as we did in the example above. Now the Null Object is going to move along with the layer.

You can add a boat kit with winch mount.
People have been surfing the net and viewed other websites and there letting us know they have found a better price on the same trailer and ask us to price match. Well, that's not the case. The other vendor had NOT given them proper information. If you're buying from another country, firstly they must be Transport Canada Approved. If not you must get them inspected for compliance in Canada and that can cost you up to $240.00 extra. Not all Red or Black folding trailers are the same so buyer beware. Some other vendors have been showing pictures of Salter trailers in their ad's even though they're not authorized to do so or a dealer for I.B.W.! So before you purchase one of their trailers verify that's it's a salter trailer or contact us first.

Jan and Tore were out in the courtyard, talking. Tore was facing east. Suddenly he saw a strong flash towards the east, in the mountainside. It was where the yellow circle is put on the picture below. What was that, said Tore. Jan turned around, and saw a yellow ligh moving sik-sax upwards above the horizon. Everything lasted only some few seconds.

Marilyn Carlisle...I have taken his class before and you are right! It's spot on for us actors!
Carole Wood...So glad you and many others I love had the chance to experience what I've already gotten to from one of my best friends, Alyn Darnay.
Robynn Fredericks...Totally agree, Laurel! Such a fabulous class and great insight from a true actor's director! Thank you so much, Alyn Darnay! I'm looking forward to the next and digging even deeper!
Debbie Baker Robinson... Alyn is very good at his craft.
Karen Aruj ...It was so excellent to be in the presence and work of so many good actors. You were wonderful! I'm looking forward to more classes and an exciting upcoming project!
Phyllis Brown...Thank you for yesterday. I learned more about myself from your insightful direction in both scene work and monologue which will help me to audition more honestly. It's never too late and you're never too old to learn more about yourself. - feeling inspired.
Alyn Darnay. Thank you so much, today was such a growing experience.
Gabrielle Antoinette ...Love it! This workshop was awesome! We really worked those chops! Best actors! Love you guys !
Mary Farah ...Thanks Alyn Darnay for such an extraordinary class. I learned so much. I love you all so much. Some I know, some I just met. You are my family regardless. Acting is a gift. Acting is my passion! Yesterday, I attended an extraordinary workshop by Alyn Darnay and it was amazing in every way! Alyn Darnay took the time with each and every talented individual in that room and help us dig deep into our character, whether it was in a monologue or and a scene. He guided us into truly understanding our purpose in the character. I appreciated that and the whole workshop! Get comfortable into being uncomfortable and let go! Thank you Alyn Darnay. Some I knew in this workshop, others I just met, to me we are all family! Thank you! Keep shining! Lets keep reaching for the stars.
Burton Gazzara... Thank you Alyn Darnay for this extraordinary acting workshop. You shared many pearls of wisdom. I learned a lot.
I teach a method of acting I've developed through my many years of working with actors in my capacity as director, actor and screenwriter. It blends my own training, award-winning experience, and understanding of today's style of acting preparation and performance with elements from the standard methods of Stanislavski, Strasberg, Hagen, Meissner, and Adler.
This method breaks down the psychology of acting study, practice, and style into an easily executable methodology aimed at fostering believable performance from any individual actor. My desire to create inspired actors is aimed at improving their innate abilities and performance, my method of acting develops unique techniques within the individual actor that allows him/her to reach their full potential and discover a new world of deeply compelling sensory acting ability.
As you might imagine, the intense daylong Workshop is a hands -on acting workout, not a lecture and covers several distinct techniques. The Workshop is limited in number to allow a more intimate one-on-one opportunity to absorb the method while providing a safe environment in which to interface and work with the other actors learning along side of you as you identify personal strengths and overcome your weaknesses.
I believe that every actor must be able to create an intense emotional reality and a vibrant imaginary world to inhabit while acting. This is not an easy task, nor does it generally come naturally. It takes practice, training and exercise to bring it into clear focus.
Here's your opportunity to learn how to dissect a character with razor sharp precision, and then utilize that knowledge to reach a level of creative performance that you never imagined you could ever attain.
Don't just be a good actor; master the knowledge to become a great one, this workshop is designed to help you accomplish that...at every level.


Pulling imagery and motif from organic form, architecture, media and design I create densely layered, mixed-media paintings that are deeply invested in process. I'm interested in the overlap of nature and culture and the patterns present in both; the tension between them drives my exploration of color, surface and materiality.
Employing labor-intensive technique, I blend painting, collage and printmaking processes. I primarily work on wood and paper in multiple panels, incorporating paint, charcoal, ink, paper, graphite, pen, canvas and metal. Simultaneously free and constrained, my paintings are composed of numerous overlapping layers, many of which are obscured in the cumulative evolution of a finished piece. Often a prominent element of my work is the application of thousands of beads of paint, painstakingly and individually applied with a brush and used to create screens, patterns and color gradations.


Try the simple act of baking your eggs in muffin tins, not only is it a nice diversion, they are also portable for a nice picnic or snack on the go. These egg cups are packed with vitamins and minerals, featuring kale and shiitake mushrooms. Kale has been extensively studied for its role in cancer prevention, it also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, as well as vitamins such as K, A and C and minerals such as manganese and copper. Shiitake mushrooms have been used medicinally in Asia for 6000 years, and are only recently becoming known in the west for their abundant benefits. They are a great non-animal source of iron, as well as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and selenium.
Distribute mushroom mixture to 10 muffin tins. Crack an egg into each tin. Distribute cheese among tins. Bake for 12 minutes at 400°.

Unity AI 2021 interns: Graduating to better gameplay
Anthony Navarro
September 22, 2021 in Technology | 11 min. read
AIGame simulation
The Unity AI organization is working on amazing research and products in the areas of robotics, computer vision, and machine learning. Our AI summer interns all worked on relevant, AI-related projects that actually impact our products.
Launching high-quality and balanced games is hard, especially when there are numerous variables such as character attributes, level design and difficulty progression. Automated Quality Assurance (QA), one of the many products that Unity offers, automates and runs various simulations in order to balance a game and find the most optimal parameters. Automated QA can shorten the development feedback loop and increase team productivity.
During the summer of 2021, our interns worked diligently to create valuable contributions to our work at Unity. Read about their projects and experiences in the following sections.
Visual Simulations
Matthew Yang, BSc. Computer Science, Simon Fraser University
The purpose of the Visual Simulations package is to generate visualizations in Unity which are easy to digest and analyze. Users specify which events to record and the package generates a visualization based on the positions of all the recorded events. There are two visualizations which can be generated by this package: discrete markers and heatmaps.
For discrete markers, as each event is recorded during a playthrough, a marker is placed in the scene where it occurred. Markers for events will be placed sequentially which shows the order in which events occurred. In the following example, I will be using a game where players play as tanks who try to shoot and destroy each other. There are two events being visualized: the yellow markers are for when the player moves, and the purple markers for when the player shoots. In the visualization, we are able to see the path the player is moving along and where they shoot.
Instead of specifying an event once with discrete event markers in the scene, heatmaps aggregate events together by position. Users can customize the heatmap by setting the granularity of the heatmap, the colors for varying frequencies and the thresholds that determine these frequencies. The ML-Agents dodgeball environment in elimination mode was used as a demonstration with events being recorded whenever agents are hit, and the areas of the map changing color to exhibit where the most activity occurred.
The demonstration above shows how this package and ML-Agents benefit each other. Trained agents automatically produce event data which generates visualizations, and the visualizations themselves provide insight on how agents behave in different scenarios. Simulation is a powerful tool that allows for the comparison between different runs with the ability to easily view differences in performance as parameters change. The Visual Simulations package can be used for creating better tested and more balanced games, but also for other applications in Unity such as evaluating the navigation performance on a robotics system.
Flexible Test Planner
Oscar Lin, Computer Science, University of Toronto
Quality assurance (QA) plans currently support writing linear test paths. QA teams often have test plans involving commonly repeated steps, such as setups and teardowns. In a linear representation, these repeated steps clutter the overview of the test plan. To address this, I implemented a test generator with a feature that allowed for the compression of visualizations in a test path.
Utilizing the Automator feature in the Automated QA package for Unity, I implemented test generation with editable parts. While the individual tests are easily customizable, the problem of test plan inflation still existed as every single test had to be managed manually.
I addressed this by implementing Staged Run, which is a test generator that solves the cluttering problem by supporting a simplified overview. The resulting product can generate tests rapidly with minimal coding as well as an improved view for duplicated procedures.
The Automator test generator and Staged Run tools are available for download in the Automated QA package for Unity.
Sprawl Metrics
Karen Chen, Computer Science, University of Toronto
Sprawl is an internal framework at Unity for running distributed machine learning experiments on your local machine and the cloud. Like with other machine learning systems, engineers wanted more insight into how their Sprawl jobs ran to better understand their experiments' performance. However, no metrics were being collected in the Sprawl framework. My summer internship project focused on providing out-of-the-box metrics in an intuitive form for Sprawl users to get a better understanding of their machine learning jobs.
I first researched different design alternatives and created a design doc with the help of my mentor. After several iterations on the doc, I finalized the details and hosted a meeting with the team to gain feedback on the project's overall design and architecture. I quickly moved onto the implementation phase following the design review and focused on developing the solution to the problem. The Sprawl metrics feature is made of two major components: a Prometheus profiler and a Grafana dashboard. The Prometheus profiler scrapes metrics from each process in the Sprawl run and displays the result in a pre-configured Grafana dashboard. Sprawl users can view the performance of their runs on Grafana in real-time, both locally and in the cloud. We have also defined different profiling levels based on our user's needs.
Building a Compute Graph for Game Simulation
Stephanie Wang, Computer Science, Carleton University
For my internship, I leveraged a framework and scheduling system for distributed computing experimentation being built inside Unity. The goal is to use the system to balance a parameterized game, just as our users do with Game Simulation, to learn how well the development experience and the overall system work for this use case.
The scheduler is a framework developed to enable building large scale simulations locally and in the cloud. It allows users to design compute graphs and facilitates communication amongst nodes. The framework allows more flexibility in computation and data processing. The project will test out the new scheduler and provide valuable insights about the process of implementing the compute graph and how it will work for end-users.
During my internship, I built and executed a GameSim workload with the framework. This workload was able to scale up to 50 simultaneous simulations and is expected to scale even further if more computing resources were allocated. The plan consists of 3 types of nodes that run in parallel; a loader node, simulation nodes, and an uploader node. The loader node reads a configuration file that holds the parameters of the game and parses through them. Then, the simulation nodes pull each parameter and perform the simulations while accumulating important statistics. Finally, an uploader node aggregates the data and uploads them to the cloud.
The compute graph provides the capability to easily scale up to 45 simulation nodes in a container, and well over 10 containers in a pool. With more nodes running simultaneously, we notice a large drop in the total time it takes to run all simulations. Furthermore, users can easily switch from local to cloud execution with a single command-line flag.
I had the opportunity to utilize the Unity Engine to enhance the game used in the simulations. I worked on rebuilding some of the GameSim features including how metrics were accumulated and gathered. The data was aggregated in a stream-processing fashion, meaning aggregation was calculated as new data arrives. I worked with Kubernetes and Docker when trying to deploy my plan to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Familiarizing myself with the various Kubernetes commands really came in handy when testing and debugging the compute graph.
The best part of working on this project is providing a proof of concept for how well the scheduler worked for the Game Simulation use case. The framework has so much more potential for many other use cases including computer vision and robotics while facilitating scalability and migration to the cloud.

A World Forever Changed
A crisis on the scale of COVID-19 permeates all aspects of society, for better or worse. We asked 12 Hamilton alumni and professors to share their predictions for what lies ahead.
Edvige Jean-François '90, an international journalist and media consultant, is a former CNN senior producer and White House producer at Associated Press Television News
In the time of coronavirus, even going to the grocery store requires a battle plan: What to wear? When to go? How to safely retreat? Fear, confusion, and upheaval have led to a hunger for news. In March, news consumption globally rose 36 percent, according to one report.
Journalists are accustomed to reporting in extraordinary times, but COVID-19 is a singular moment in our lifetime. We have seen the virus batter our hospitals, ravage our nursing homes, and lay bare racial disparities long ignored. There are countless important stories to tell, as the industry faces job losses, financial pressures, and increased hostilities, including by the president who disparages the media and the First Amendment.
The killing of George Floyd has led to a seismic shift in America — will the reckoning lead to meaningful and lasting reforms? It is just one of the big questions that will be before us. Journalists are part of the transformation America is undergoing; the industry will also need to address the lack of diversity in its ranks.
When this is over, I hope we do not forget those who were invisible before COVID-19, those with sweat, tears, and backbreak in this pandemic. At the height of the coronavirus, it was de rigueur to pause and clap for our frontline workers at evening time, as a "thank you." I hope after the pandemic, somewhere in the world, people will still gather on any given evening to remember them and clap. How wonderful, if it makes news.
Richard Bernstein '80, CEO of the investment management firm Richard Bernstein Advisors LLC
Many say the economy after COVID-19 will be different, but few forecasters suggest what the changes might be. The U.S. and global economies were already starting to change before coronavirus, and the pandemic will likely exacerbate and accelerate those changes. The biggest change could be the end of globalization. Globalization has historically resembled an accordion: expanding and contracting through time. The accordion has been expanding over the past several decades, but it is starting to contract. It's popular to blame this contraction on President Trump, and his policies and verbiage have certainly contributed to the contraction, but nationalistic tendencies are growing in many countries. In fact, finance ministers from the world's 20 largest economies jointly suggested that globalization may be a growing risk to their countries' sovereignty.
Globalization had both positive and negative effects on the U.S. economy. On the positive side, increased levels of competition kept prices under check, and inflation hasn't been a meaningful concern in the U.S. for many years. Although nominal wage gains have been rather paltry for some workers, consumers' purchasing power increased significantly. On the negative side, the U.S. lost jobs from the combination of a globally increasing labor pool and the U.S.'s failure to invest and improve its infrastructure.
If globalization reverses, the biggest change to the U.S. economy could be higher inflation. Disrupting the global flow of goods and services reduces competition, the U.S. does not have a globally competitive infrastructure, and wages will likely rise as labor availability decreases. A secular multi-year period of higher-than-expected inflation would be a meaningful change for the U.S. economy. Global political winds blowing as they are, one should consider how such a change might alter one's business, one's investment portfolio, and one's overall lifestyle.
Christie Bell Vilsack K'72, editor/journalist, former librarian, and teacher who, as first lady of Iowa, focused on education and literacy issues
For eight years, Alberto Carvalho, Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools, led an effort to invest in preparing for the worst. He trained teachers and educated parents and his community about distance learning. They invested in technology. They were ready when COVID-19 closed their schools. Students and teachers made a seamless transition. Carvalho built resilience into his system. Now, he says, our country can't go back. Parents have had a hand at teaching. They've had a window into their children's classrooms. Educators have "leaned in." They've innovated. My question is, "How do we continue adapting?"
I face this resilience question as a college board member, as a grandmother, as a classroom volunteer, and as an adviser to the chancellor of Colorado State University involving K-12 programming for Denver's new National Western Center.
We know in-person learning is best, but how do we continue to offer stellar education under any circumstances to every student? If we capture what worked and what didn't for educators, parents, and kids over the past three months, we'll have a wealth of information to direct us. Each community will determine what works locally. Sharing will help decision-makers decide where to focus resources. Leader communities like Miami-Dade can point the way.
Small colleges in rural places will provide safe, personalized education in person and online. Small community schools might choose a hybrid model — keeping some kids home with parents, while others with greater needs may attend in person where they'll benefit from teacher attention. With help from technology, CSU will create virtual STEM experiences for K-12 students who may have to wait to visit their new water, food, and health buildings.
This pandemic will push us to challenge the status quo and find better ways to teach and learn.
Celeste Day Moore, assistant professor of history
The COVID-19 pandemic has provoked a profound reckoning with the failure of the American state to protect people's health. While this fact of American life is newly resonant for some, it's important to underscore that African Americans have long recognized and resisted the state's continued defense of private property at the expense of Black lives: in the abandonment of Reconstruction, the federal government's role in institutionalizing residential segregation, the massive expansion of the carceral state, or the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. The current crisis has deepened these inequalities and further imperiled those who were already marginalized in terms of employment, health, housing, and participation in civil society.
Looking forward (but still thinking historically), I think it's possible that this expanding precarity and the breakdown of state capacity will deepen the racist resentment in the United States and beyond. However, this moment could also more clearly show that our current economic system fundamentally depends on racial inequality, a phenomenon that scholars have termed racial capitalism.
As people make sense of these linkages, I think it's possible that we will see ever more expanding modes of protest and rebellion on a global scale. In this regard, I see direct links to the rich intellectual and political traditions that have defined African-American history, and the work of people like Ida B. Wells, Claudia Jones, Ella Baker, Robert Williams, the Combahee River Collective, and Angela Davis, whose "freedom dreams" (to borrow Robin D.G. Kelley's phrasing) have sustained Black life and might likewise show a path forward.
For more on this history, I would point readers to the work of Associate Professor of Africana Studies Nigel Westmaas and Erik McDuffie '92, now associate professor in the Department of African American Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Richard Nelson '72, Tony Award-winning playwright
The theatre will survive, but this pandemic will have taken a deep toll. Theatre means live actors and live audiences in the same room at the same time. No social distancing here. So we will be one of the last businesses to reopen, and even then will people want to sit close together, for hours at a time? What happens with the first cough?
Few non-profit theatres have serious or healthy endowments; a number will undoubtedly close and so less work for theatre artists. Getting back to where we were will take a long time. That's, of course, if we choose to go back to where we were.
A friend of mine in the foundation world believes what could happen is like after a forest fire; with the heavy underbrush burned away, new shoots are now possible. Perhaps there will be something like that and new ideas or new types of theatres, perhaps those less tied to bricks and mortar and set seasons and subscriptions, will emerge as these shoots.
Every 50 years or so for the last 100 years, the American theatre has reimagined itself, usually as a reaction to a stultifying commercial theatre. Around 1910, a Little Theater Movement sprang up, from which emerged American's first great playwright, Eugene O'Neill. Fifty years later, the American non-profit theatre erupted bringing professional permanent theatres to much of the country for the first time. Now 50 years later, and in the wake of this pandemic, are we about to witness new efforts at re-imagining what it means to be an American Theatre?
Phil Klinkner, the James S. Sherman Memorial Professor of Political Science and professor of government; director, Washington, D.C., Program
Many Americans believed that the pandemic might serve to unite us. They hoped that a shared sense of sacrifice and empathy, much like that seen during World War II or natural disasters, would cause Americans to overcome our growing social and partisan rifts. Instead of the pandemic shaping how we view our politics, our politics has shaped how we view the pandemic. Partisan blinders led many to ignore science and common sense in favor of quackery and conspiracy theories. Instead of focusing on keeping people healthy and financially secure, many of our leaders saw the pandemic as just another opportunity to distract and divide Americans for their own political advantage. In addition, America's governing institutions at the federal, state, and local levels have failed, alone among advanced industrialized democracies, to perform the basic functions of providing for the well-being of the population. As a result, the burden of the pandemic has fallen disproportionately on the poorest and most vulnerable among us. The result is 143,000 (so far) dead Americans, a staggering economy, and even more divisiveness and inequality.
For many years whenever I've spoken about the state of American politics, someone always asks me, "When will it get better? When will America start coming together, rather than apart?" The sad fact is that there is no miracle cure. There is no leader who can use his or her eloquence to move us to a higher purpose. America is irrevocably divided between competing political and social visions.
At another moment of great division, Abraham Lincoln warned, "A house divided against itself cannot stand. ... It will become all one thing or all the other." Today, Americans must again choose what our house shall be.

The coronavirus lockdowns accelerated the pace of change as individuals and organizations turned to the internet to socialize, collaborate, create, publish, transact, be entertained, visit their doctors, and do so much more. The question we now face is whether these changes will be long-lasting, or will we return to the old-normal after the virus is behind us. Undoubtedly, when it is safe to do so, we will fill classrooms, religious facilities, auditoriums, concert halls, stadiums, theaters, galleries, and restaurants. We will even shake hands, hug, touch, and kiss again. But, it will not be the same. Societal norms, government regulations, individual choice, and organizational restructurings will create a new-normal. As companies encourage employees to work-from-home and individuals embrace telemedicine, online grocery delivery, and many other services enabled by technology, society will clearly be different from what it was before the lockdowns.
While these changes may have negative consequences such as increased isolation or elimination of certain jobs, they may also deliver meaningful benefits such as reduced stress, closer family bonds, significant cost savings, a reduced carbon footprint, more time for hobbies and exercise, and the creation of new jobs. While technology can deliver extraordinary benefits, it never comes without a cost. To capture the benefits, while minimizing the costs, will still require good personal decision-making and parenting, as well as sound government and organizational policies. That will never change.
Dan Becker '77, director of the Safe Climate Transport Campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity
COVID-19 is changing our environment and peoples' attitudes toward it. We've learned that air pollution worsens the virus' death rate, that people of color are at greater risk from the disease. We've confirmed that when we turn off polluting cars, factories, and power plants, air quality improves.
Science matters. Americans need to pay more attention to scientists' warnings about climate change, just as many have followed medical advice to shelter in place, social distance, and wear masks. We must demand more government action to protect us from carbon pollution that exacerbates droughts, floods, heat waves, and the spread of infectious disease vectors. The pandemic has demonstrated the necessity that governments at all levels act to protect their people. Unfortunately, our federal government fell down on the job.
The pandemic shows we're all in this together. It is striking that despite overwhelming attention focused on the outbreak, people have risen up to rally together against the infliction of police violence on African Americans. Young people of all races have turned out to protest, demonstrating that with the disease of racism, like the virus, there is no place for American exceptionalism.
I find hope for the future in the grandchildren who wave through windows to cheer their relatives without infecting them and in the resilience of young protesters who demand an end to our nation's racism. Young people will be the most affected by the climate crisis and they know it. We need to follow their lead to secure the clean cars and clean energy that must be our future if we are to leave a safe climate to our children and their children.
Jaime Kucinskas, assistant professor of sociology
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the religious landscape in the United States had already been undergoing considerable changes. Mainstream Christianity has been on the decline. Increasing Americans, and especially young people, identify as spiritual but not religious and/or religiously non-affiliated atheists, agnostics or "nones" (Pew Research Center 2019). The COVID-19 epidemic will likely exacerbate these changes, making it unlikely that some older people, who typically attend church, continue to do so. Instead, many regular churchgoers are already turning to watch services online or on TV (Pew Research Center 2020). Such changes will inevitably lead some people to realize they can practice their religion in other ways, through small virtual or in-person groups or simply by watching services virtually. This will most likely deepen fiscal deficits for many Protestant and Catholic congregations, which have been experiencing diminishing contributions from members for decades. Some churches may go under. As churches have long been a social cornerstone of American society, and important source of community support and aid, it is my hope that as the religious and spiritual landscape reconfigures in a society more reliant on digital technologies and focused on individual spiritual development, that we do not forget the importance of collectively working to better our communities and sharing resources with those in need.

Mason Ashe '85, a sports attorney and NBA- and FIBA-certified sports agent and adjunct professor who teaches sports law at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the Howard University School of Law
The coronavirus may have changed where and how sports competitions are played, packaged, and consumed forever. The business of sports is often studied in three segments: amateur, Olympic, and professional. This past March, all three of these distinct ecosystems were forced to cease conducting business as usual and pay attention to what the scientific evidence about the pandemic informed us. This is true in the United States, as well as across the globe.
When the NCAA cancelled basketball's March Madness, fans of amateur sports knew something serious was going on that should not be ignored. It was hard to believe the Olympics would be postponed, but it had to happen given the various levels of success countries around the world experienced with containing COVID-19. The professional leagues globally had millions of dollars at stake when they were forced to cancel play or postponed seasons due to their players and executives testing positive.
The future of sports will follow science. Until the coronavirus is defeated or there is an effective vaccine, amateur sports organizations will host competitions when and where the science allows. Youth travel teams will wait until it is safe to gather, and then develop protocols to keep players, families, coaches, and organizers safe. Most collegiate athletes will wait, but some elite athletes with potential professional careers in the balance may seek alternative places to play where the coronavirus is better managed; even if that is in another country. Professional leagues will create "bubble zones" to resume competitions and deliver a return on investment to stakeholders; even without spectators.
Aron Ain '79, CEO of Kronos Inc. and Ultimate Software, two companies (merged on April 1, 2020) known for their award-winning workplace cultures. Ain is also author of WorkInspired: How to Build an Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work.
When I hear predictions for how the pandemic will change work forever, I think, "How do you know that!?" While it has felt like a lifetime, 90-120 days of work upheaval is not enough to draw conclusions about the future of virtual work, online learning, workplace layouts, or anything else. The resilience and creativity shown by organizations and their employees under intense pressure has been remarkable. Yet the tunnel we are traveling through today won't be completely reflective of what to expect on the other side.
There are opportunities, of course, and three things are clear:
Trust is the magic glue
Employees who feel trusted are more engaged and perform better. COVID-19 has been an eye opener for organizations yet to take the leap into remote work or empowering workers in new and independent ways. We can now move more comfortably into a world of what employees do, not where or when they do it.
Support systems are critical
Childcare is integral to our economic success. The availability of schools, daycares, and camps have greatly impacted reopening plans. Eldercare and access to reliable transportation are also crucial. Organizations and societies must work to create and protect the support systems vital to keeping the economic engine running.
Care and compassion must redefine leadership
I have long believed that people managers have the biggest impact on overall success. Now I'm doubling down. Thoughtful listeners, over communicators, and leaders who extend trust and honesty have put their organizations in position to not just survive, but thrive. Those who have built a culture of caring have a distinct advantage in hiring and retention as the economy begins to thrive again.

Assessing the future of America's post-COVID-19 relationship with the rest of the world begins — as all good forecasting does — with looking at historical priors: in 1949, the North Atlantic treaty was signed. It ushered in American primacy and history's most stable international alliance. Now to our present: in the three years leading to the treaty's 70th anniversary, America's reputation and image have altered significantly in the eyes of both its allies and its adversaries. With coronavirus now gripping the globe, America is further reduced to a status reserved for unstable and unreliable nations. Blocked from European borders, Americans are shunned for insufficient precautionary competence by the countries the North Atlantic Treaty aimed to safeguard.
Extrapolating from the present into the post-COVID future, even conditional to a change in governance, American authority and prestige on the world stage are not assured. At home, the hollowing of the U.S. Department of State will require both restoring a seasoned and diverse diplomatic corps and refashioning a body known for being "pale, male, and Yale." Abroad, absence of American leadership has created a vacuum into which the old monsters of Europe — fascism, racism, ethnic conflict — have crept. The stability of both NATO and the EU are in question. As China, India, and Russia seek to preserve dominance in their near-abroad with force if necessary, Latin America and Africa face the traps of corruption and resource capitalism.
The post-COVID landscape the United States faces internationally necessitates ingenuity, new models, and resolve to repair. And above all, time. Adjusting overly rosy predictions to the reality of progress' slow, incremental change will distinguish the most accurate of our post-COVID forecasts.

The Parent Table and Chair combo from Dutch company Moooi is the amalgamation of whimsical elements (reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason) and modern design. It's unlike anything I've ever seen and that in itself is Moooi's signature. Their designs are diverse and original.
The Parent Table and Chair was designed by renowned Dutch designer Marcel Wanders who drew inspiration from the style of adult-sized furniture. It may look like a mini version of a regular dining table and chairs, but the materials used are most definitely for our littlies. Soft and light expanding polypropelene makes it a perfect play companion; no bumps or bruises from this table.
If you can envision this Moooi fanciful design in your home, go to Dutch webshop Questo Design. The Parent table is $244 and each chair $129 (ex VAT) plus postage to Australia.

How to Play New PUBG Map Miramar on Xbox One
PUBG is the global gaming phenomenon which takes 100 players and drops them all onto an island to battle it out. Despite having launched out of Early Access this year, the game continues to receive new features and support. The battle royale game is now available on PC, Xbox One and mobile, with different features being available for each platform. One example of this is that the Xbox One version of the game is only just getting the game's second map Miramar. The map is the large desert area added to the PC game months ago.
And while the map is now available to Xbox One players, it is not currently a part of the main game. In order to play the new PUBG map on Xbox One you must first download the PUBG test server. We have a guide which details exactly how to do this, but in short you need to head to the Microsoft store and search for it. Once you have it downloaded you'll be able to test out the new map, which is the game's largest so far. It's worth noting that you'll have to create a whole new character for the test servers and that they are only live during set periods of time.
Developer Bluehole often adds new features to the test servers first before making them live for all players. Recently, they announced that they are adding a map selector feature which will definitely come in handy once Xbox One has multiple maps to choose from. To stay up to date with when new features are being added to test servers, head to the game's Steam Community page.
For more on PUBG be sure to check out our wiki guide and stay tuned for any news.

Arenarock, stadionrock, corporate rock, är en svagt definierad inriktning inom rockmusik som oftast är medeltung hårdrock, ibland heavy metal. Glam metal brukar också räknas in, då många arenarockstationer också brukar spela glam metal. Namnet kommer av de pop- och rockkonserter som hållits på sportanläggningar. Enkel rytm, akustisk gitarr, elgitarr och keyboards är berömda instrumentljud, och sångstilen är lik den som brukar användas i vanlig pop snarare än i hårdrock eller metal. Populariteten var stor från slutet av 1970-talet och under 1980-talet, då hårdrock och heavy metal nådde popularitet. Inom arenarock blev musiken mer "kommersiellt orienterad och radiovänlig", med slät produktion och hymnliknande refränger, både i hårdrocksnumren och de genomgripande powerballaderna.

The Evolution OF Pump Design Although you'll find countless styles of pumps shoes today, in 1960's it had a very classic design with a medium or high heel, comfortable toe area cut fairly low at both the sides and front. It was higher on top to reveal a bit of toe cleavage. To confuse matters further, some styles in the mid 60's were designed with an open heel and ankle strap.

Even Bong Joon Ho's wildly entertaining thriller "Parasite" has some basis in its director's personal experience. Like the character who sets the story in motion, Bong worked as a tutor in South Korea as a young man, though he and his family have never infiltrated and wreaked havoc on a wealthy household, to the best of my knowledge. Bong, unlike Julie in "The Souvenir," has few questions about his rights as a storyteller; his characters, who hail from across the entire South Korean class spectrum, are at once recognizable and surprising, endearing and unbearable.

The Cork Museum of Palafrugell, Spain, is a museum about the cork industry in Catalonia.  Founded in 1972, the Cork Museum is part of the Costa Brava Museum Network and the Network of Local Museums of Catalonia in Girona.

The Cork Museum is located in a modernist factory around a small cork forest. The exhibition consists of an audiovisual space, a journey from the forest to work at the factory to obtain plugs, discs, paper and agglomerate, a space to experiment and a space for participation.

The building
The Cork Museum is divided into three spaces. Two of them are heritage buildings (recognized as Bé Cultural d'Interès Local - BCIL, that means a cultural heritage of local interest): the industrial buildings and Cal Ganxó. The third space, newly constructed, is a reception hall, installation space and warehouse.

Spaces
 Permanent exhibition -located in the ground floor and first floor.
 Manufactures space. - exhibition space.
 Reception hall - welcome location for visitors and gift shop
 Geminus" space - workshops.
 Miquel Auditorium

History
In 1972, archaeologist Miquel Oliva and local researchers Joan Badia and Albert Recasens founded the Palafrugell Museum. At the beginning of the 1980s, the museum was divided to create the current Palafrugell archive, including a new monographic specialization on the cork industry.

In 1986, the first conservative square was created. In 1989, the Palafrugell Cork Museum became part of the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia (mNACTEC). In 1991, the first permanent exhibition spaces were opened at the Tarongeta street building.

On June 29, 2012 the Palafrugell Cork Museum opened a new headquarters in the modernist cork factory of Can Mario.  It was now the largest cork museum in the world.

Other spaces
The Cork Museum also manages the Centre d'Interpretació del Dipòsit Modernista de Can Mario and the Conjunt Monumental de Sant Sebastià de la Guardia.

The Centre d'Interpretació del Dipòsit Modernista de Can Mario shows how that facility regulated the water supply and water pressure in the Can Mario cork factory. It is a Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional - BCIN (cultural heritage of national interest) in Spain.

The Conjunt Monumental de Sant Sebastià de la Guarda is an historic site with a watchtower, an 18th-century hermitage and a 19th-century lighthouse.

In this April 22, 2014 file photo, job seekers line up for a job fair at Columbia-Greene Community College in Hudson, N.Y. A far more durable U.S. economy has emerged from the wreckage of the Great Recession. And_tragically_ that has been a problem for the now five-year recovery.
WASHINGTON — Out of a seemingly hollow recovery from the Great Recession, a more durable if still slow-growing U.S. economy has emerged.
That conclusion, one held by a growing number of economists, might surprise many people. After all, in the five years since the recession officially ended, Americans' pay has basically stagnated. Millions remain unemployed or have abandoned their job searches. Economic growth is merely plodding along.
— Fewer people are piling up credit card debt or taking on risky mortgages. This should make growth more sustainable and avoid a cycle of extreme booms and busts.
— Banks are more profitable and holding additional cash to help protect against a repeat of the 2008 market meltdown.
— More workers hold advanced degrees. Education typically leads to higher wages and greater job security, reducing the likelihood of unemployment.
— Inflation is under control. Runaway price increases would be destructive. Low inflation can lay a foundation for growth.
— Millions who have reached retirement age are staying on the job. This lessens the economic drag from retiring baby boomers and helps sustain consumer spending.
Over the long run, such trends could help produce a sturdier economy, one less prone to the kind of runaway growth that often ends in a steep and sudden slump.
The downside? At least in the short term, these same trends have prevented the economy from accelerating. When consumers borrow and spend less freely, for example, they restrain growth.
And when people seek to work longer or become more educated, often there aren't enough jobs for all of them, at least not right away. People with advanced degrees can often find lower-paying jobs that don't require much education. But when they do, they tend to push some people with only a high school education into unemployment.
Kevin Quigley, a massage therapist, found that by the time the recession struck, his card balance had ballooned to as much as $35,000. The 33-year old from University City, Missouri ascribed that to "thinking that I needed a lot of things."
Beginning in 2010, he consolidated his card debt and reduced it by $300 a month until it disappeared.
"Peace of mind became more important to me than stuff," Quigley said.
Two primary factors explain the decline in card debt: Lending standards were tightened, and consumers "just kind of froze in place," said Jelena Ewart, general manager of credit cards and banking at Nerd Wallet.
The American Bankers Association says card debt as a share of people's income has reached its lowest level in more than a decade. People increasingly pay off balances each month. And just 2.44 percent of card accounts are delinquent, compared with the 15-year average of 3.82 percent.
Researchers at the Cleveland Fed found that after adjusting for inflation, debt from mortgage and auto loans remains below pre-recession levels. Applications for credit by "deep subprime" borrowers — those most at risk of defaulting — have dropped 36 percent from pre-recession highs.
Because people are taking on less debt, they're also spending less. That phenomenon has slowed growth because consumers fuel most of the U.S. economy.
Consumer spending has risen just 10.8 percent during the five-year recovery — the smallest increase among expansions in the last 55 years, said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust.
But after the frugality of the past half-decade, money that once went to repaying credit cards can now be spent in ways that boost growth.
"There are some families who can contemplate vacations for the first time in a while, who can contemplate replacing their jalopies," Tannenbaum said.
Declining debt loads have coincided with stronger cash buffers that banks have built up to protect against possible losses. More than 30 percent of banks were unprofitable in 2009, a share that sank to 7.28 percent through the first three months of 2014, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said she no longer sees a "systemic threat" from over-extended banks.
Inflation has also been running below the Fed's 2 percent target. Not only have consumers enjoyed relatively stable prices, but the Fed has been able to stimulate growth by holding interest rates down without risking any immediate threat of igniting inflation.
Americans have also used the recovery to return to school. The share of adults with advanced degrees jumped to 11.7 percent from 9.9 percent in 2007, according to the Census Bureau. During the recovery, the number of Americans with a college degree surpassed the number with only a high school diploma for the first time.
The unemployment rate for college graduates is 3.3 percent vs. 5.8 percent for high school graduates and 9.1 percent for high school dropouts. Someone with a master's degree earns on average $69,108 a year, more than double what someone with only a high school diploma earns.
Over time, more people with advanced degrees should put a greater percentage of Americans into better-paying skilled jobs. For now, though, some educated Americans have moved into jobs requiring only a high school degree and left many of those without degrees jobless. Just 54 of high school graduates are employed, compared with 60 percent before the recession.
A similar development has occurred as workers have delayed retirement. The proportion of Americans older than 65 who are working has risen to 22.7 percent from roughly 20 percent during the recession.
These older workers tend to be better educated, so they command higher pay than the broader population, Gary Burtless, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has concluded. And by continuing to draw a paycheck, they pay taxes, which should ease the budgetary pressures on younger generations.
Still, the rising proportion of older workers has kept some younger workers from receiving promotions or being hired.
"For lot of folks in their 20s and 30s looking to get established in their careers, it does represent a hardship," Burtless said.
That hardship should gradually diminish on the strength of continued job growth. Employers have added more than 200,000 jobs a month for five straight months — the best such stretch since the late 1990s.
"If the economy gets close to its full employment potential, it's a great thing," Burtless said.

Airborne Collision Avoidance System X
A next-generation collision avoidance system will help pilots and unmanned aircraft safely navigate the airspace.
ACAS-X alerts pilots to nearby traffic and issues actions to avoid collisions with other aircraft.
To help maintain the safety of commercial and military aircraft, we have been developing the Airborne Collision Avoidance System X (ACAS X), an onboard flight safety system that is designed to replace the current Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II. ACAS X is fully compatible with the new airspace procedures and technologies of the Federal Aviation Administration's Next-Generation Air Transportation System, which aims to reduce gridlock in the sky and at airports with new surveillance and navigation technologies. ACAS X detects nearby aircraft by receiving sensor measurements from onboard surveillance systems and estimates the relative position and speed of these aircraft by using tracking algorithms. The system then weighs the costs of all actions the pilot could take and decides on a single best action. If a collision avoidance alert is necessary, ACAS X sends this information directly to the pilot via the flight deck displays. A version of this system, ACAS Xu, is tailored for use on unmanned aircraft. Unmanned aircraft equipped with collision avoidance protection – a prerequisite to enter shared airspace – would be eligible for unrestricted access to the National Airspace System for the very first time.

Replacing the regular grass in traffic roundabouts, road verges and public car parks is becoming more and more popular and makes perfect sense. Cities and commercial property owners can save hundreds of pounds on up keep and maintenance by installing artificial grass in traffic meridians. Artificial turf will help to conserve water, eliminate mowing, edging, trimming hedges, and chemical applications. The local council workers will no longer be at risk with heavy traffic whizzing by on both sides while trying to maintain the medians. Therefore, liability costs will now be reduced without the need for council workers to work as regularly on an area that is surrounded on either side by traffic. By cleverly investing in artificial grass, it will not only reduce landscaping costs, but also air pollution from petrol powered mowers and equipment. This will also lead to a reduction in the noise attributed to the noisy engines that lawn mowers and machinery produce.
Using an artificial turf from Go Artificial Grass will leave a lush no maintenance area to help sanctify your community or commercial property. Synthetic grass is extremely durable and provides a soft smooth surface, whereas regular grass cannot keep up with constant pedestrian traffic walking over the medians. The medians turn into worn out dust tracks or muddy ponds, mounds can form causing tripping hazards to pedestrians. Go Artificial Grass synthetic grass provides for an even walking surface that looks great year round! Please contact Go Artificial Grass today to get started saving money in landscaping costs, liability costs, and providing your town, city or commercial property a maintenance free clean green space.


Sebastopol is a suburb of Ballarat, about 4 km south-west of the city centre.
Much of the suburb is situated on a plateau in which mining began in 1854 after the easier alluvial gold had been taken from the Ballarat gold fields during the previous three years. Several tent camps were established and the miners named the place after the Crimean War siege location, Sebastopol, (October 1854 - September 1855). Another locality, partly included in Sebastopol, was named Redan, also a place in Crimea.
Many of the miners were Welsh or Cornish. There were Sebastopol and Cambrian Hill Welsh Choirs which competed at a Ballarat Eisteddfod in 1858, a forerunner of the Royal South Street competitions. A Welsh chapel was opened in 1858, and in 1861 the Welsh Presbyterian and the Zion Congregational churches were opened. Sebastopol had an estimated population of 20,000 people.
The district's first school (1857) was some distance south in Magpie Gully, but in 1861 an Anglican school was opened in Sebastopol. A mechanics' institute was built in 1864, and the Welsh/Methodist influence was further enlarged with a Wesleyan church. On 1 November 1864, Sebastopol was proclaimed a borough. By then, however mining settled down to processing material from deep leads.
Despite the influence of Methodism, Sebastopol and Magpie Gully had upwards of ninety hotels licensed during 1856-70, but not all at the one time. Until 1873 there were several private schools, which were substantially absorbed by the government schools opened at Redan (1874) and Sebastopol (1873). At about this time many of the gold claims approached exhaustion, and Sebastopol's population fell by 62% during 1871-81. Gold production actually ceased during 1883-85, but new shafts sunk in 1886 renewed production. The best days were past however, and local option polls closed several hotels in 1892. Sebastopol's sense of separateness was debated in 1893 when a horse tram service connected it to Ballarat, and electrification of the line in 1913 probably ended any such notion.
Between 1947 and 1961 the population more than doubled to about 4700. Steady growth brought the figure to 7500 in 1991. A Catholic primary school was opened in 1956 and a coeducational technical school was opened in 1962.
Sebastopol's main street is Albert Street/Midland Highway, where there are the former borough offices, the main churches (including the Zion and Wesleyan churches which combined as the Uniting) and the shops. There are also two public reserves, the larger one with ovals and a velodrome, a bowling club, a swimming pool and an equestrian centre. A community centre was opened in the old Sebastopol school building in 1979, and there are two community health centres. Two hotels continue, both in Albert Street. Sebastopol primary school had 112 pupils in 2014.
Sebastopol's eastern boundary is the Yarrawee River where there is a linear park with a walking trail. There are also two wetlands, Redan and Yuille's. Near the latter there is also Yuille's Station park, named after William Yuille who took up the pastoral run named Ballarat in 1838.


In November of 1777, the Royal Fuziliers were sent to Philadelphia as part of a large reinforcement. The regiment manned various redoubts protecting the city, conducted foraging expeditions and participated in the failed assault on Fort Red Bank.
To help defend against the cold, this Fuzilier is wearing his black wool leggings over his wool breeches. An entry in George Crawford's [7th Regiment] Orderly Book dated May 3rd, 1778 indicated, "The Black Leggins are not to be worn, only on duties, or Field days."
