Was there a moment when you knew programming was the right career for you?

Was there a particular instance that influenced you to choose software engineering as your career? Was there one moment in time or did it happen over time?
My impactful moment happened at Cape Canaveral, FL after the Apollo 11 space launch. My dad took me to see the spent launchpad. He had been part of team responsible for the successful launch having designed the gantry supports. It was clear he was in awe of what had been accomplished there. I told him I wanted to be an engineer, too. He told me I could do anything I wanted and he was sure I would make him proud.

I would say that it was when I got my first taste of coding around the mid 1980s on a MicroBee then Amstrad. My career went down another (IT) path but I'm getting back now with a little coding for work. Considering how to get more involved in coding again.

You must be from the UK :) Its good to connect with another dev who remembers the '80s! lol btw I did the same: started in tech and stopped to raise a family. It was a challenge to find the resources to update my skills but not impossible. It's easier today. Good luck!

I didn't really know it until after I had written several programs for various employers. The whole time I was thinking it was too brain-frying and I wanted to do sysadmin (aka ops) instead. I got a job doing linux sysadmin, then moved into HPC (aka supercomputer) admin. About 6 months later, the program manager told me he wanted me to move to a programming project as I was the only one available with the background. I was reluctant, but as I reflected back on what I did in HPC, I realized that I mostly wrote scripts to automate maintenance of the cluster of servers. And the more senior HPC admin was happy to let me do it. So I thought even when I'm doing admin, I choose mostly to automate things by writing code. I decided maybe it was a career path for me after all, and endeavored to figure out how to make it less overwhelming to me. So glad I did.
Great story! Thank you for sharing that. Curious to know what steps you took to make it less overwhelming?
Up until that point, I mostly wrote programs as a jumble of code. They functioned, but to effectively work on it I had to load the whole program into my head. As the program grew larger, it eventually became impossible for my limited faculties to understand exactly what effects any single change would have. And it became frustrating to work on.
So I began to research how to make programs more maintainable, which led me to software architecture patterns. I started with the basics like 3-layer architecture. That was a big help, but eventually I found the rough edges. Throughout my career I've kept researching and striving for the goal of code that I don't dread maintaining.
After almost 2 decades, I feel like I am finally on the right trail. 🤣 But it turns out, on their own, the best tools in the world (if they existed) aren't enough to make good software. The more important part that I missed for many years is actually learning the customer's problem from their perspective. I can't tell you how many times I did exactly what the customer asked, but they were still disappointed with the outcome. Because I was too focused on using the tools instead of getting to the root of their problem.

I kind of slid into it, really - I'd always been an enthusiastic programmer back in the days of 8-bit home computers, so after I finished my degree in French & Communication Arts & completely failed to get a job using any of the skills I'd learned during that course (speaking, reading & writing French, knowing about French history, literature & philosophy, but also how to cost a TV programme, how to write for kids or the stage, knowing about media history & politics, and linguistics, & semiotics) I got a job as a temp at what was then Transco (I think they're part of National Grid now?) & ended up taking care of the ISO9001 quality library, and designing databases & looking after the timesheeting system that Sema Group wrote for them. I figured I could make a lot more money than £10/hour doing this so went through all the companies that had tendered to be in the virtual joint venture that Sema did with Transco, applying for any kind of graduate position. Essentially, I was at home with computers & kinda inspired by some of the IT consultants I ended up working with, and wanted to be a part of that, properly. Capgemini ended up hiring me & giving me a job down in London looking after banking systems like ARTIS and CUTAS, old legacy stuff that involved DEC Alphas & AS/400s. It's been a long & weird journey via dead-end jobs in desktop support & application support, but as I approach 50 I'm a proper Java developer at last. Pretty happy with where I've ended up, although I'm always learning new stuff & would love to get more JS under my belt.
Small world; I work for Cap, too! (Senior Frontend dev NYC). Great story - interesting background.

A site screening exercise identified 41 potential sites to build the new hospital on.
Size – can the site meet the required minimum ground floor hospital footprint?
Site access – has the site got suitable access to roads and infrastructure?
Topology – can the site accept the overall floor area and massing required?

Jawbone's new BIG model improves on already excellent Jawbone, and features an additional five hours of battery power for nearly 15 hours of party-power and 25 more decibels thanks to a second passive subwoofer which hopefully doesn't just sit there being all like "whatever" when you try to kick out some jams. Nearly double the size of the deceptively powerful, super-portable original, it's still small enough that you can tote it off to wherever there's a soiree to be livened up, and the Big shows off Bluetooth capability and built-in mic so you can hook up nearly any smartphone and bring your ventiloquism act to the next level. Since it works with your smartphone is makes for one heck of a badass speakerphone. So whether you're sitting in the conference room getting lectured by your boss or "listening" to your girlfriend while she talks about her day, hearing it through the BIG Jambox will make it at least sound good.

SpringCon was great. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's the larger of the two Minnesota conventions put on by the wonderful folks of the Midwest Comic Book Association. FallCon is a one-day show in October, but SpringCon runs Saturday and Sunday, usually in May. The Minneapolis/Saint Paul area has a great comics scene and the MCBA goes out of its way to treat creators like royalty, so there's always a lot of participation. Both conventions are fantastic, family-friendly shows and highlights of my year.
My wife's out of town for a friend's college graduation, so David and I hung out together all weekend. David made the second issue of Hulkasaurus, his series of mini-comics about his own giant monster, and I had several copies of Kill All Monsters left over from C2E2. KAM did very well and I sold out early on Sunday. A surprise hit for me was Hunt the Winterlands, a fantasy anthology of prose stories that I contributed to a year or so ago. I've had it at a few shows since then and sold some copies, but it sold like hotcakes this time.
David sold most of his copies of Hulkasaurus #2. A couple of other friends of mine were also exhibiting with their kids who also did very well all weekend. It's great to see children getting into making art and comics so early, and even greater to see the local community support them so much.
As usual, we sat near Grant Gould who's always amazing with kids. He and David did an art trade, with Grant's drawing one of David's favorite characters and David's drawing something Grant had mentioned earlier: a dinosaur/scorpion hybrid.
Otis Frampton was on the other side of our table nearest me and I had a great time getting to know him a little better. He's a super-talented artist and was also really welcoming of David. My good friends Jessica Hickman and Darla Ecklund were nearby as well and David and I shared a couple of meals with them.
I also enjoyed finally getting to meet Ron Marz, who was visiting an MCBA show for the first time, and Trevor Von Eeden, who is - no lie - the sweetest person in comics. I had the privilege of being in the audience at San Diego Comic-Con last year when he received the Inkpot Award. Getting to hear him accept it and talk about his career was a highlight not only of that panel, but of the entire convention for me. Getting to tell him so yesterday was a highlight of this weekend. Comics people are the best people.
In addition to talking to people - and I know I'm leaving out so many of you; I'm sorry - I bought a bunch of comics of course and a couple of pieces of art, including this Godzilla silhouette by Jennifer Menken.
One final memory of the show was how humid it was. We had unseasonably hot weather at FallCon a few years ago and it was appropriately dubbed SweatCon. This year, I thought that MoistCon would be appropriate until the torrential rains started coming down on Sunday and it turned into something more like HurriCon.
Not that that "dampened" anyone's fun. It was a great time and thanks again to the MCBA for hosting!
Had a good time meeting you and getting your books. I can't believe they gave us a steak dinner! lol good times.


Being a mom has made me boring.
I randomly discovered an hour of time. The littlest kids were asleep and the oldest wouldn't be home from school for a bit. The laundry was done, dinner was cooking, and the cleanliness of the house would probably pass a CPS inspection. This was a true hour when I could do anything I wanted. I … Continue reading Being a mom has made me boring.
Having kids can be a parasitic relationship. Kids feast on your energy, drain your resources, and deeply compromise your mental health status. These little mites create an environment of chaos. Sometimes I find myself throwing a pity party for one when the stresses of the day simply become overwhelming. I might even put together a … Continue reading Single Moms, I don't know how you do it because this is freaking hard.


Among other challenges thrown by capitalism which have not received a rational answer there is truly fundamental one: are economic crises a part of the essence of the system? The mechanical perception of the problem may explicitly suggest the interpretation of the challenge; which means that the capitalist system - as a societal formula of organization interested in attesting the truth on the path of efficiency - should not go through recursive stages of near-crisis. The base of this positive construction, capitalism, a developer of efficient order in the form of the accumulation of the specific substance called wealth, would never know cyclicity but only progress.


Formatting a USB external hard drive, could be a very easy task when done with proper tools. However, sometimes there are drives which, for whatever reason will not format. For this reason I have decided to divide this guide into two parts. The first part of this guide applies to any type of drive, not only USB external drives. For this first part I will be using a utility called GParted, which in my opinion is the easiest and most practical method to format a hard drive in Linux. The second part could also apply to both external and internal disks, however, it is geared more towards problematic USB external hard drives. It will be unpractical to use it normally due to the amount of steps involved.
1) On the top right, select the drive you wish to partition and format from the drop down menu.
2) On the top menu click on "Partition" and then "New".
3) On the "Create new Partition" window, select "Primary Partition".
4) Then select the type of filesystem you wish to have. In the picture below I have selected the fat32 filesystem. However, even though Linux understands fat32, it is not its native filesystem. A ext2, ext3 or ext4 filesystem will be more appropriate and won't be subjected to the limitations of fat32. One drawback of choosing Linux filesystems is that they are not readable by Windows; not that it really matters that much, since you will still be able to clone any filesystem, but sometimes you want to use the hard drive to store other files beside your Clonezilla images.
5) Click on "Add" button to save changes.
6) Finally, on the main screen, click on the green checkmark to apply changes and start the process.
The process will take a few minutes, depending on the size of the hard drive.
Look for the device file name identifying your drive's partition. For this example lets say we identified it as /dev/sdb1; this means that your drive will be /dev/sdb.
at the "Command (m for help)" prompt, delete the current partition by typing "d", then, save changes by typing "w".
Once done choosing the partition type, enter "w" to save changes and you are done creating your partition table, now you need to format it.
Replace "ext3" with ext2 or ext4 if you wish to format in these filesystems.
The time this process will take to complete will depend on the size of your drive, it is usually a few minutes.
Whenever a drive is formatted in Linux, it reserves about 5% of the total space on the drive for the operating system to continue using the hard drive to operate, even if it get full. This is totally unnecessary for a USB external hard drive if you are only going be using it to store data and not to run an operating system.
I tried your way with fdisk on an LaCie 2 TB and it works. Thx.
But I changed one command: instead of "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb" I typed "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1" to format partition /dev/sdb1 because /dev/sdb is not a partition.
(Notice that the command is umount, not unmount.) Make sure you are selecting the correct hard drive and that you are not formatting anything important.

Rhapsody: Band Concert
Wind Symphony Performs in Concert. Photo by Rosa.
On Tuesday October 19, both Snow College Bands, the Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band, performed in a concert. Both bands are directed by Dr. David Fullmer. The Symphonic Band opened the concert with three songs. The Wind Symphony closed the concert with three songs, ending with "Rhapsody in Blue" featuring Dr. Trent Hanna on the piano.
The students in the band enjoy performing and sharing their talents with each other. Meg Larson, a member of the Symphonic Band says, "I've got to say that my favorite part about the concert was getting to play our music and connecting the audience to us. I also loved getting to play with my new friends on the music we have been working on for a long time." Overall, the concert was a great success! The players felt confident and played well. The next time the bands will play together in a concert will be December 7th at 5:30pm in the Greenwood Student Center. Students are encouraged and welcome to attend.

The Cassisi Inference
Products liability cases can be very difficult to prove. The manufacturers hold almost all of the relevant evidence and often engage in extensive stonewalling and other abusive discovery tactics to prevent you from uncovering the evidence you need. While there are methods to combat stonewalling which we address elsewhere, there are other tools which may apply depending upon the facts and circumstances of your case. One such tool is the inference of defectiveness established by Cassisi v. Maytag Co., 396 So. 2d 1140 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981).
Cassisi involved a dryer that caught on fire and burned the plaintiffs' home down. Id. at 1142. During her deposition, Mrs. Cassisi testified that the dryer had been purchased 19 months prior to the fire, that it had been operated normally, and that it was never serviced or repaired. Id. at 1142-43. Moreover, the Cassisis' expert testified that the fire originated inside the dryer. Id. at 1143. Unfortunately, due to the extensive damage caused by the fire, the plaintiffs' expert was unable to either pinpoint the exact cause of the defect which caused the fire or negate other possible causes of the fire. Id. Based upon this perceived failure, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the manufacturer. Id. The First District Court of Appeal reversed this decision, reasoning that "when a product malfunctions during normal operation, a legal inference . . . arises, and the injured plaintiff thereby establishes a prima facie case for jury consideration." Id. at 1148.
In the decades since Cassisi was decided, Florida courts, as well as Federal courts applying Florida law, have applied this inference to many different cases involving various types of products. Examples of such opinions include:
• Gencorp, Inc. v. Wolfe, 481 So. 2d 109 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985), where the First District held that a case involving a tire that had blown out after 2,500 miles could have properly been resolved by a jury despite the absence of the tire pursuant to the Cassisi inference.
• McCorvey v. Baxter Healthcare Corp., 298 F.3d 1253 (11th Cir. 2002), where the Eleventh Circuit reversed a summary judgment in favor of a catheter manufacturer under the rationale that the plaintiff was entitled to the benefit of the Cassisi inference based upon evidence showing "that the catheter . . . erupted during the course of normal operation."
• Edic ex rel. Edic v. Century Products Co., 364 F. 3d 1276 (11th Cir. 2004), where the Eleventh Circuit reversed the district court's grant of judgment as a matter of law in favor of a child seat manufacturer under the rationale that "the evidence that [the child restraint system] should have restrained [the child] but failed to do so is sufficient to permit the Cassisi inference of defect because it implies that the [child restraint system] malfunctioned during a collision that was within the range of its normal use."
• Jones v. Heil Co., 566 So. 2d 565 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990), where the First District reversed the trial court's directed verdict in a case involving a garbage collection unit which expelled a board that struck the plaintiff in the eye, reasoning that the plaintiff was entitled to a Cassisi inference based upon the testimony showing that: there was nothing improper about placing the boards where they were placed; the unit would not expel those boards if it was operating in accordance with its design; and the unit had expelled objects on two (2) separate occasions.
• Nelson v. Freightliner, LLC, 154 Fed. Appx. 98 (11th Cir. 2005), where the Eleventh Circuit held that the plaintiff was entitled to the benefit of the Cassisi inference in presenting her theory that a defect in a semi-truck caused her husband to die from carbon monoxide poisoning, explaining that "[b]ecause a diesel truck is designed to prevent carbon monoxide and other gases from leaking into the cab of the truck, evidence that carbon monoxide leaked into the cab, during normal use, is evidence of a malfunction."

Here are some haunted and other attractions that the niagara region offers its visitors and locals to enjoy for this season. There are lots to see and do to 'celebrate' halloween apart from trick or treating.
This tunnel was originally used by farmers. Legend has it that a young girl met her death here. It is believed her restless, lost spirit roams the tunnel looking to for someone to show her how to get out of the tunnel and move on. Because it is thought she died a gruesome and tragic death, Some even believe that she is in the tunnel seeking to avenge her death.
Where to find it : 224 Regent St,Niagara On the Lake.

The Blue Ghost Tunnel, better known as the Merritton Tunnel and The Great Western Railway Tunnel was built in the 1870's.In the early 1900's, there was a major train wreckage adjacent to the tunnel claiming the life of two men. By the 1920's, accidents close-by at the canal claimed anywhere from 20-28 more lives. For decades, people visiting the tunnel claimed to see a bluish foggy mist swirl in and around the mouth of the tunnel.

One other issue that produces the storage consistently looks messy and complete could be your package deal. So, it is better if you remove the box or plastic or cardboard and also keep the item only. You can shift them to the other jar that's flexible and easier to be more coordinated.
Why do we also need to buy a fresh new geo camo steel blue gray camouflage bedding kid when we could always use the still-good-old-one? Sure, remember . Even a superb state means that it does not have any gap at one or even more than just one sides (or we can consistently coating that using some woods, also!) . Scratches continue to be fine because we are going to accomplish two things for it. Both points will require some paint, paint brush, and also some very simple ornament we love.

The greatest natural rock tiles seem to be the granite. It's perhaps not just famous in the bedding but in addition from the kitchen as well. You may observe that as you understand exactly how popular granite countertop is. When choosing granite tile because the back splash tile for the bedding, select the granite tile having beautiful collection of shade. Usually, granite countertops really are multi colored and have glistening end. That is why it is quite ideal to be used for the counter area from the bedding. Granite tiles are also tough. Just like it's genuinely tough. That's the reason it is durable and sometimes it's even watertight. That's the idea of having a new geo camo steel blue gray camouflage bedding kid and that is why granite operates great in your Zen bedding.

2018: the year of multimodality, masterplans and strikes
Source: FlickrNo license mentioned
2018 was the European year of multimodality and many events have taken place around this motto. The importance of rail in reducing CO2 emissions gained more attention and the lessons learnt from last year's Rastatt disaster translated into meaningful actions taken to improve the European railway network.
At the same time, 2018 was also the year of the Genoa bridge collapse, three months of French railway strikes, uncompromising discussions about the approaching Brexit and new sanctions on the potentially important transit country Iran. This is an overview of some of the most important trends and events in the rail freight industry.
Rail freight on the rise
Global rail freight volumes rise with 2.8 per cent in 2018, accounting for an additional 1.3 million tonnes. That as the prediction of Panteia, a Dutch research institute in August. Although actual figures usually come after the first quarter of the next year, the prediction is that freight movement was in the lift this year.
The research firm cited the prospective lowering of track access charges in the Netherlands and Germany in 2019 as a key factor stimulating growth. In addition, there are several initiatives likely to push the sector further, such as experiments to operate longer trains (740-metre trains) on an international level, they argued.
German and Dutch masterplan
The European Commission this month approved the German aid scheme meant to compensate rail freight operators for up to 45 per cent of their track access charges (TAC's). This is part of the larger German Masterplan for Rail Freight, aimed at boosting its rail freight industry over the next few years. In November the German government selected 29 rail projects to be prioritised and implemented by 2030.
The German initiatives ignited the ambitions of the Dutch counterparts. If Germany reduces the costs of rail, similar measures must be taken in the Netherlands in order to guarantee a level playing field, argued Dutch stakeholders. In June, this plea received positive response. A measure package was presented. With a grant of 12 to 14 million Euros per year starting in 2019 and up until 2023, the Dutch TAC's should be considerably reduced. Moreover, funds are allocated to the transition to ERTMS and modifications to enable driving with longer trains.
Cost of rail
According to Ralf-Charley Schultze, President of the International Union for Road-Rail Combined Transport (UIRR), these developments are crucial for the success of rail freight as they respond to the need to compensate rail freight's disadvantage over road. propositions. "While rail freight must improve its performance, and it has been working on it, all efforts will be futile if the price is not right."
Although similar programmes have been implemented in Austria, France and Italy, this year also marked developments in an other direction. The UK government presented its 5-year plan, including a recommendation for a charge increase after a two-year freeze. This year was also the first time the track access charges for Swedish railway were under review, leading to a critical stance towards the relatively low marginal cost in the country. The cost of rail may change, depending on the outcome of the debate.
Shift to Rail
This year important agreements were signed to protect the environment on a global level, which opened an opportunity for rail to distinguish itself from other modes of transport. "Rail is the most carbon-efficient motorised way to travel: CO2 emissions from rail account for less than 3 per cent of CO2 emissions from transport although it carries 17 per cent of inland freight", noted the European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) in October. This message seems to have gained further recognition in 2018, when several deals were signed.
On 14 December, the Rail Freight Forward coalition was launched in Katowice, Poland. European rail freight companies committed to reducing the negative impact of freight transport on the planet, embracing the objective to reach a modal share of 30 per cent for rail by 2030. A month earlier the Graz Declaration was adopted by the EU. This 'green deal' for Europe' represents the commitment to complete the TEN-T rail core network, increase the efficiency and attractiveness of rail transport by removing all the barriers to interoperability, and strengthening the digitalisation and automation in the sector.
The shift to rail was further encouraged by the amendments enabling a wider charging regime for road vehicles, adopted by European Parliament in November. Furthermore, efforts were taken to increase the scope of the Combined Transport Directive, which should encourage multimodality and hence the shift to rail. "In today's environment the simple defense of rail freight's market share is an achievement in itself", commented Schultze.
2018 was the year of the 'lessons learnt' from the Rastatt incident. Although the 7-week disruption of railway services between Karlsruhe and Basel took place in 2017, the aftereffect was surely felt this year in a positive manner. The most important lesson learnt -according to Silvia de Rocchi of the European Rail Freight Association (ERFA) – is that the rail freight sector should think more European, instead of focusing on the national level. "In 2018 rail freight took stock of the weakness of the sector and the actions needed to improve it. A new handbook for managing rail traffic in case of unplanned disruptions was adopted, lessons were learnt and positive steps were taken", she commented.
A major milestone was the adoption of English as the main language of communication between infrastructure managers and railway undertakings during international disruptions. At least one English speaking dispatcher in national traffic control centres will be guaranteed in every shift from 2020. But the rail freight sector also learnt about the need for alternative language requirements, as there are too many drivers that are currently not able to operate a train in another country. "It is necessary to explore alternative options to the current language requirements allowing for greater flexibility but ensuring an equivalent level of safety with the current requirements", the European Commission concluded, allowing for pilot projects in 2019.
TEN-T network
Further progress was made this year, implementing the Sector Statement agreed at the 2016 TEN-T Days in Rotterdam. The ELETA project seems to be on track, providing estimated time of arrival information for twelve selected intermodal train runs with the objective to demonstrate the efficiency gained when sharing train run information. The lack of harmonised timetabling procedures between European countries is being addressed with the ambitious project Re-design of the International Timetabling Process." These are just two of the ten projects in progress.
The TEN-T network was also developed in terms of infrastructure. Spanish regional governments increasingly took the lead in the completion of the Mediterranean Corridor, connects the Spanish coast to France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. Another important project, Rail Baltica, was given a timeframe this year. Linking Poland and the Baltic states by rail, the construction should commence in 2020, while the entire project should be delivered by end 2025.
Focus on the east
The European core transport network was for the first time been extended towards Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, when in November the European Commission presented new maps of the TEN-T network. This is to better connect the continent to Asia, it commented.
The focus on the east also became evident with the stance towards the Chinese Belt and Road initiative. When the European Commission revises the TEN-T network in 2023 it should consider the possibilities that the Belt and Road initiative (BRI) offers, said Alain Baron of the Directorate General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) in June. "For example, what could the development of the Port of Piraeus mean? Maybe we should prioritise a good connection from this port into central Europe", Baron said.
Last but not least, the rail freight sector took big and many steps towards the innovation of the industry, a task which is considered key in improving the attractiveness of the modality. Several key players launched innovative concepts; from bogies to wheelsets, from brakes to tank containers. SBB Cargo launched operations of its 5L Demonstrator, DB Cargo and VTG ran trials of another innovative freight car and BASF increased its collection of innovative tank containers.
On 19 December, a successful test drive was carried out with a self-driving locomotive on the Betuweroute, the freight dedicated railway line in the Netherlands. In September, French railway operator SNCF announced to introduce prototypes of driverless mainline trains for freight and passengers services by 2023. Innovation Manager Chris Verstegen from ProRail called this the "era of automatic driving.
High-speed freight train
While high-speed train traffic was previously an innovation mainly reserved for passenger traffic, 2018 saw two rail freight operators launch a high-speed service in Italy. On 7 November, the world's first high-speed railway service was launched by Mercitalia, connecting Caserta and Bologna. It was followed by another high-speed service by Interporto Servizi Cargo (ISC) between Florence and Bologna.
Even faster than high-speed will be the Hyperloop, an innovation that prior to 2018 only existed on paper. Several initiatives were launched this year, mostly concerning research centres for future technologies. Hyperloop Technologies settled in Toulouse in April, and in August Virgin Hyperloop One signed with Spanish rail infrastructure manager Adif to build a research centre in Malaga. That same month, Transpod announced its plans to set up a centre in the French village of Droux.
With such important steps, the groundwork has been laid for an even more innovative 2019. There is a large variety of concepts on the shelf ready to be explored. Regular operations of long freight trains up to 1,500 metres, the next generation of bogies, paperless rail freight journeys and more driverless train operations can be expected. And this is good, as rail still requires a lot of progress in order to compete with the other modalities.

Q: Posting JSON object with array through Symfony API I'm trying to post a JSON objet like the following to my backend app developed with Symfony (using API Plateform, front-end App with VueJS) :
{
    "weight": "10",
    "category": ["/api/categories/2", "/api/categories/79"]
}

Here what I've tried for my HTML form (which is in a VueJS template):
<form action="/api/data" method="post" axiosMethod="post">
   <input type="text" name="weight"> <!-- value=1 -->
   <input type="text" name="category[1]"> <!-- value="/api/categories/2" -->
   <input type="text" name="category[1]"> <!-- value="/api/categories/79" -->
</form>

Here is the JSON file this form actually sends, which is not the one I want :
{
    "weight": "1",
    "category[1]": "/api/categories/79"
}

I've also tried this (which does not work either, same result as the previous one) :
<form action="/api/data" method="post" axiosMethod="post">
   <input type="text" name="weight"> <!-- value=1 -->
   <input type="text" name="category[]"> <!-- value="/api/categories/2" -->
   <input type="text" name="category[]"> <!-- value="/api/categories/79" -->
</form>

Does anyone know I could put the two category values together in a single array ? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Colorado State vs. CU basketball rivalry is in…
Colorado State vs. CU basketball rivalry is in jeopardy, and why the Buffs could kiss all in-state games goodbye
The CU-CSU series could extend through 2022 — but only if the Rams meet certain RPI parameters next winter.
Cliff Grassmick, Staff Photographer
Evan Battey, of CU drives on Nico Carvacho, of CSU, during the Colorado and Colorado State men's basketball game.
PUBLISHED: May 23, 2019 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: May 23, 2019 at 9:26 am
If you happened to witness the Colorado Buffaloes' men's basketball win at Air Force last November, best hang on to those pictures, whether they're on your phone or in the back of your mind. Because those type of in-state college basketball matchups figure to become rarer for the Buffs in the years to come.
The Pac-12's new scheduling mandate, handed down Monday, could put the kibosh on CU seeking future games with the likes of Air Force, Northern Colorado and Denver, three of the Buffs' nearest in-state Division I brethren. And the future of the CU-Colorado State series was in flux even before the Pac-12 demanded each league member upgrade its respective men's hoops dance cards.
"It's a struggle with some of the haves and have-nots," CSU men's basketball coach Niko Medved said. "And it really affects those lower-level teams, where it's just like, because (the Power 5 leagues) are looking at the data and they're looking at the money, they say, 'Listen, if we play 20 conference games and we completely block out the bottom half (of Division I), that just means that many more bids for the NCAA Tournament, more money, more exposure.'"
The current CU-CSU contract, which was obtained this week by The Denver Post, features a rollover extension whose length is dependent entirely on the Rams' RPI for 2018-19 and 2019-20. Summing up:
• If CSU's average RPI over last season and the next averages out between 1 and 150, the contracted two-game series extends to another home-and-home, with a contest in Boulder in 2020-21 and a return game in Fort Collins in 2021-22.
• If CSU's average RPI checks in between Nos. 151 and 351, the series would roll over into a one-game extension, played in Boulder during the 2020-21 season.
• Any new games in the series will be played the first Saturday of December, "unless mutually agreed upon by both parties in writing."
The contract stipulates that RPI determinations will be based on the final rankings "provided by the NCAA at the end of each season." The NCAA canned the RPI as its official metric last year, replacing it with the NET for the 2018-19 season and beyond. A CSU official said there hasn't been a formal discussion on what the standard would be moving forward, but it's clear, regardless, that the Rams would have some lifting to do.
CSU ranked 232nd nationally in CBS.com's final RPI rankings for 2018-19, Medved's first season at the helm. Which means the Rams would need to rank No. 68 or better in next season's final RPI for the CU-CSU series to return to Moby Arena in 2021-22 under the current contract.
"A series is two programs playing each other and both programs have to want to play each other, and that's what it comes down to," Medved said. "Neither side can make the other side do anything. We obviously want to continue to play CU; I think it's great for the state, I think it's great for basketball.
"Do we plan on getting better? Yeah. We need to get better. But I think, at the end of the day, in order to play a series, it takes two people who want to play. And thankfully, right now, we have an agreement and I hope we can continue doing it."
Because of new Pac-12 scheduling standards, CU from the 2020-21 season and beyond is required to produce a non-conference slate that averages out to a five-year NET ranking average of 175 or better among all its dance partners. And after next season, the Buffs can't schedule road games against non-conference teams with a five-year average NET ranking of 200 or worse. As the NET has only been in use for a year, Pac-12 officials said KenPom.com rankings will be used for the other seasons in the sample.
In either case, most of Colorado's Division I basketball schools don't project to make that cut. Based on one year of NET rankings (2018-19) and the previous four seasons of KenPom.com, only one in-state men's basketball program other than CU meets the sub-200 threshold: CSU, with a five-year average of 143.8.
Northern Colorado's five-year average is 224.0, while Denver and Air Force have posted a 228.0 and 229.8, respectively. The Buffs have played at least two in-state Division I programs in each of the last eight seasons, and visited the Academy last November to close out an eight-game series — but the rivalry won't be renewed again unless the Falcons' average NET ratings improve significantly. AFA ranked 244th in Division I this past winter, the second-worst in-state ranking behind DU's 324.
Wyoming is safe for now with an average of 168.6, and would have to finish next season at 263 or worse to miss the cut. The Buffs and Cowboys most recently played a four-game series from 2011-14 with two games in Boulder and two in Laramie.
RPI tumblin'
The Pac-12 will not allow member schools to schedule road games against opponents that have a five-year average NET ranking of 200 or worse beginning in 2020-21, which jeopardizes some regional rivalries for CU. Here's a look at how well teams need to finish next season to be eligible to host the Buffs.
Team … 5-year average … Needed 2019-20 NET
Air Force … 228.0 … 52
Northern Colorado … 229.8 … 129

congratulations! That is wonderful news. I have been to the Gaylord in Florida and fell in love with it. I love lemon everything yet I never just eat them like Clancy.


One major barrier, everyone complains about is time. We don't seem to have enough of it. How many hours are there in a day and night? 24. Point being, time doesn't increase or decrease for a person, it's all about how we utilize it - develop time management skills.
"By independency, by travelling through cities, by having patience like that of a donkey and by rising early like the rising of crows" - Uluww al-Himmah by Shaykh Muhammad Isma'il al-Muqaddam.
Regarding Imam Sulaym ibn Ayyub al-Razi, it was narrated that he used to account himself even for the number of breaths he took. He never let a moment pass by him without gaining some benefit - he would write, teach or read. One of his students said that one day he (the shaykh) traveled to his house and then returned saying: "I managed to read a Juz on my way".
Another barrier is thinking that a task is impossible, nothing is impossible - the word itself tells you otherwise!
Ibn 'Ata'illah: "Nothing is difficult if you seek it through your Lord, and nothing is easy if you seek it through yourself".
Ibn 'Abdil-Barr said: "The Qur'an is the foundation of knowledge, so whoever memorized it before his coming of age (i.e. puberty), then he went along to study whatever would aid his understanding of it from language, then that would be a great help for him in attaining his objective from it (i.e. knowledge)" - Saheeh Jaami' Bayaan al 'Ilm wa Fadhlih 454.
Some people tend to have a low opinion of themselves, which acts as another barrier. This doesn't befit the Muslim. Always have a high opinion of yourself and have good expectations from Allah 'azza wa jall and He will in turn fulfill your expectations.
NOTE: there is a difference between high aspirations and arrogance.
Value your efforts and capability.
Thinking that you don't possess the mental capacity for hifdh is in reality a mental barrier. Break it. Human beings have been blessed with a vast, complex and incredibly amazing brain - it is designed to grow with usage. The more you utilize aspects of your brain, memory etc the more it's capacity will grow.
Be truthful to yourself and to your Lord, and have sidq al-niyyah (true/sincere intention).
So he said, "To take governship over 'Iraaq, to marry Sukainah bint al-Husayn and 'Aisha bint Talha ibn 'Ubayd'Allaah." And so he achieved that and each one of them (the wives) was given five hundred thousand dirhams in mahr and the like in provision.
'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr wished for Fiqh and that hadeeth be taken from him – and he achieved that.
'Abdul-Malik wished for Khilaafah – and he achieved that.
Al-Bukhari reported, the Messenger of Allah (salah allah 'alayhi wa salam) said: "So when you ask Allah (for something), then ask for Al-Firdaws, which is the middle-most and highest part of Paradise. Above it is the Throne of ar-Rahman and from it originate the rivers of paradise".
Imam al-Zuhri said: "Whoever attains knowledge all at once, knowledge will leave him all at once. Indeed, knowledge is only sought throughout the bitter (or passing of) days and nights".
It's a journey that takes you through paths you never thought you'd ever tread. A breath-taking trip that will throw you into a sea of knowledge, cast you under the shade of guidance, ascend you to lofty clouds, and bring you back to the harsh realities of life – but as a hakim (wise one). It will take you through paradigm shifts, open your eyes to the unseen and the unheard, it will challenge you, test your limits, break you down and then rebuild you from new.
It is a journey designed so specifically for you, so unique to you. Don't run lest you stumble, don't dally lest you miss the signs, and don't stop lest the gale winds throw you off.
You will be tested and taught your boundaries not as a punishment but as the greatest act of kindness you will ever witness: being shown that your barriers are just that; your barriers. And not Allah's. He will truly show you your strengths and increase them for you, show you your weaknesses and help you overcome them. He will make sure that you witness all the battlefields known to the Son of Adam; you will battle forces from Shaytan, forces from your surroundings, forces from your emotions, and you will battle the greatest force to reckon with: your mind and soul. Allah will let you fight in these plains, but He will make sure that you not only win the battle, but that you win the entire war.
As you endure and develop grip on this path you will start to feel physically, mentally, and spiritually stronger. You breathe on a deeper level, you see further than you did before, your heart captures what it could not before, and it dawns on you that you are emerging as a completely different person. Your mind is alarmingly clearer, your knowledge more vast, and your ability to understand and comprehend is more than you thought. The blessings in your life don't stop coming, you see the responses to your du'a, you feel the secure presence and serenity of Allah in your life, you are continuously being taught and continuously improving and the signs all seem to point in one direction: Go forward.
As you arrive in the end, you arrive as a musafir (traveller) arrives home, as a hero returns from the front line, as a beloved comes back home. You arrive with the greatest smile on your face, and a radiant glow in your heart. You look back and see that you've crossed over a realm and a world you didn't know existed.
As an enlightened believer you emerge walking with light upon a lighted path… Your name is the same, but you? No, you will never be the same. What just took place is a transformation like no other; promised to all who decide to take this route. Don't leave this world without treading this glorious path. Don't leave without memorising, learning, rather living this Qur'an. Angels align with you as your brothers, and Allah is guiding you back to Him for rewards that no eye has seen, no ear has heard of and no heart of yours ever thought possible. Wa billahi tawfiq.

I love reading this thread for motivation when I'm feeling stressed.
There's an even more inspirational story about an 82 year old grandma who completed her hifdh made me emotional - the amount of dedication compared to some of us youngsters.
Aww mashaAllah I started hearing a lot of stories like since I started this journey mashaAllah I felt it was Allah Showing me all these signs :) Its sooo exciting!! I heard of a sister just last week I think it was she memorised the Quran within 3 days subhanAllah and then she passed away in sujood!! May we end in such a state Ya Rabb!!
It is important for the person who is memorising the Qur'an to have consistency. Therefore, as a basis, it's important to read and memorise from the same mushaf (copy of the Qur'an) as this will give consistency and mental focus.
- Every page begins and ends with a complete verse.
- Certain tajweed rules (the Tanwin and Nun Sakinah) are incorporated into the script.
In the course of your Hifdh, watch out for the "Hubut" moments - those days when you can't seem to memorise anything and you seem to have a mental block. These 'down moments' can be worrying and frustrating, and they can sometimes throw you off-course if you don't know how to deal with them.
Why do we face these obstacles?
These moments can occur randomly for different reasons. As a student, you'll have always been told to steer clear of sins and this is because sins bring about these moments of hubut faster and more frequently than anything else - and once you begin to suffer from it, it creates the perfect atmosphere for one to abandon and forget the Qur'an. It's a major tool of Shaytan which he uses to mislead the slaves of Allah from becoming constant in good deeds.
Imām ash-Shafi'ī undoubtedly had a powerful memory, he is said to have had one of the best memories. At times, he would run out of equipment to write on, so wrote with his saliva and before the saliva had dried, he'd have memorised it.
And he said to me that knowledge is a light, and the light of Allah is not granted to a sinner.
Point being is that Allah is Tayyib (good) and He accepts only that which is tayyib (good). Sins on the other hand are a form of oppression (as the sinner only oppresses themselves) and this represents darkness as deduced from the hadith of the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) when he said, الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة "Oppression is darkness on the Day of Judgement." [Agreed upon] The knowledge which Allah `azza wa jall has revealed and taught to His Messenger (of Qur'an and Islamic 'ilm) is enshrouded in light and is in fact light itself – so it's not proper for this light to remain in the dark caverns of a sinner's heart. Darkness and light cannot co-exist.
- Emotions running high or low/emotional instability (such as anger, over-excitement, depression, mood-swings, giddiness etc).
- For sisters, you may notice hubut near the times of your menstrual cycle and hence you face mental blocks either before, during or after your cycle or generally when you are hormonal.
1. When you've hit your moment of 'hubut', it's important that whatever happens, you do not end up stopping your Hifdh altogether. You can decrease your portion if necessary, but never halt it.
2. If your moment of hubut is due to something physical (e.g. you're tired, hungry, or stressed etc) then you need to address this first and overcome it.
3. Stay away from anything which will lower your spirits or demotivate you – be it junk food (this is crime I say), loneliness, laziness, boredom, lack of support, friends/family who may criticize your efforts.
4. Have some organisation in your life. It does wonders to be tidy, neat and organised – and it actually leads you to become more organised and focused at mind. With Hifdh of Qur'an, you need space. That means physical space (periods of solitude to contemplate and memorise) as well as giving yourself mental 'space' – if you overwhelm your brain with a hundred tasks or scatter it with stick-it notes, you just won't find the focus, motivation or time for Hifdh.
5. Routines are the best! Sometimes you need those 'mundane' routines in life to ground you. If for example, you have a regular routine of coming home from work, showering, eating and then sitting down for half an hour to memorise half a page, then when you're hit by hubut one day, you will naturally still be composed and find it easier to continue with that routine compared to someone who has no routine for their Hifdh. And were you to miss that daily half an hour of Hifdh, you will feel weird and like something is missing.
6. Stay active. Physically exercise your body – it'll make you more alert and creates a sense of passion/ambition in you.
7. Have a deadline, always. Set one deadline for overall Hifdh and have another deadline for every commencing week or month etc. Make sure you write these deadlines in different places – on your work desk, in the kitchen, as a reminder on your phone. This way, whenever you are faced with hubut, you still have a focus and something to work towards.
A point to consider If you look back at the pre-mentioned causes of hubut, you'll notice a common factor - they are mainly causes which preoccupy and affect one's heart and state of mind. Hence, to avoid hubut, avoid anything which affects the healthy state of your heart, e.g. having too much attachment to this world.
Realise that through the course of memorising Qur'an you will be undergoing a form of training whereby you attain strong characteristics of a believer :insha: – e.g. a firm and correct belief, patience, zuhd, gratitude, contemplation, determination, courage, humbleness, you gain good judgement, sound mind, kindness & ease in character (riqqa), and so on bi'ithnillah.
So, it's a training period to see you through life, and naturally any form of training will consist of testing moments/obstacles and hence hubut. It actually serves a purpose in the long run - so don't be disheartened and do not give up your goal.
1. The Mauritanian method - Repetition, repetition and more repetition.
Write out a page/portion (what you wish to memorise), repeat the page roughly 20 times from the board, repeat off by heart 500 times.
Repeat day 1 for the new portion, repeat the last portion 500 times.
1. Listen to a recitation of the Qur'an portion you wish to memorise.
2. Read the verse you intend to memorise, making sure to correct all pronounciation.
3. Repeat until fluency is gained in reading.
4. Recite with the rules of tajweed.
5. Repeat recitation at least 5 times.
When that verse is solid and memorised, proceed to the next verse and follow the same steps above. When that has been committed to memory, recite the two verses linking them. Do this for all the verses you intend to memorise until you've completed your portion for the day.
It's important to have set portions everyday to build a momentum, a flow to keep you going.
Take the VARK test to find out your best learning method.
As you progress in your hifdh, the amount you need to review will increase along with the amount you're able to memorise.
It's important that you develop a good strategy to help you review the Qur'an and the portions you've already memorised. This becomes easier with time, steadiness and consistency.
Sub'is - a group of huffadh sit and recite (off by heart) in turns the part of the Qur'an they have memorised (ayah by ayah) - never stopping, at a fast pace, if one makes 3 mistakes, they're out of the circle.
The secret of having a good review program is to do as many 'rounds' of recitation (off by heart) as possible. This means trying to complete your memorised portion over and over again in short periods of time.
"My hifdh became like Surah al-Fatiha when I completed by 80th khatmah - Anon"
Q1: "What was the reason that drove you to memorize the Qur'aan after so many years?"
She said, "I always hoped to memorize the Qur'aan from the time I was young. My father always used to invoke Allaah for me to become one of the memorizers of the Qur'aan, like himself and like the elder brothers of my family who memorized it. So I memorized in the beginning about three parts and then after I completed the age of thirteen, I got married and became busy with the household and the children. After I had seven children, my husband died. They (the children) were all young so I took the time to raise them and educate them, and then after they grew up and got married, I had more time for myself. Therefore, the first thing I directed myself to focus upon was the Qur'aan.
Q2: "Tell us about your journey with the Noble Qur'aan."
She said, "My younger daughter was going to high school and she was the closest of my children to me and the most beloved, because she stayed with me after her older sisters got married and got busy with their lives, and because she was a quiet girl, upright, loving, and good. In addition, she was interested in learning the Noble Qur'aan, and her teachers encouraged her.
Furthermore, she was very enthusiastic and always told me of many women who were driven by this great motivation to memorize the Qur'aan, and this is where I started."
Q3: "Tell me about your way of memorization."
She said, "We assigned ten verses (meaning her and her daughter who was going to high school). So each day after Asr, we used to sit together. She reads and I repeat after her three times. Then she explains the meaning to me, and after a while, she repeats that three times. On the next morning, she repeats them to me before she goes to school.
She recorded also the recitations of Ash Shaykh al Husary, Rahimuhullaah, repeating each verse three times and thus I continued to listen most of the time. Therefore, the next day we would go to the next ten verses if my memorization was good. Otherwise, we would postpone taking additional verses until the day after. Moreover, we assigned the day of Friday to review the memorizations of the entire week. And this was the journey from the beginning."
Then she said, "Over four years and a half, I memorized twelve juz" according to the way I described to you. Then this young daughter got married. When her husband knew of our task concerning the memorization, he rented a house close to me, close to my house, so that he could allow the continuation of the memorization. In addition, he, May Allah reward him used to encourage us and sometimes sit with us listening, explaining and teaching.
Then after three years of her marriage, my daughter got busy with the children and the household and our schedule was interrupted, but that did not make her give up. To the contrary, she sensed that my eagerness for the memorization was still established so she looked for a special good teacher to continue the journey under her supervision. So, I completed the memorization by the success of Allaah and my daughter is still working to finish the memorization of the Glorious Qur'aan. She has a little left, In Shaa Allaah Ta'aala.
Q4: "This motivation of yours, did it have an effect on other women around you?"
She said, "It really had a good strong effect. My daughters and stepdaughters were all encouraged and worked on learning and teaching the Qur'aan to their children and learning it themselves.
Q5: "After finishing the Noble Qur'aan, don't you think about working on memorizing hadith?"
She said, "Now I have memorized ninety hadith and In Shaa Allaah I will continue the journey. I depend, in my memorization, upon the tapes and upon the Qur'aan radio station. At the end of each week, my daughter comes and checks for me the memorization of three hadith, and I am trying now to memorize more.
Q6: "Over this period of memorization of the Qur'aan, did your life change? Was it affected in one way or another?"
She said, "Yes, I went through a major change and I tried always, all praise is due to Allaah, to obey Allaah before I started the memorization. However, after I started the task of memorization, I began to feel a self-comfort, a great self-comfort and all worries began to move away from me. I even reached the stage of freeing myself from all these excessive worries concerning fearing for the children and their affairs, and my morale was boosted.
I had a noble objective to work for and this is a great Ni'mah (Favor) from Allaah . upon me, since we know that some women, when they get old and they do not have a husband, and their children got married, may be destroyed by the empty time, thoughts, worries, and so forth. But, AlHamdulillaah, I didn't go through this and I made myself busy with a great task and a great objective.
Q7: "Didn't you think at one point, to join one of the circles focusing on teaching the Noble Qur'aan?"
The answer was, "Yes, some of the women suggested this to me, but I am a woman who got used to staying at home, and I don't like to go out everyday, and Al Hamdulillaah, my daughter sufficed me from all difficulty and I was so happy while I was learning from her. My daughter had set an example in goodness and righteousness which we rarely find in our days.
She started this task and journey with me while she was an adolescent and this is a critical age many people complain of. She used to pressure herself so that she could have spare time to teach me, and she used to teach me with kindness and wisdom. Her husband was a good help to her and he exerted a lot of effort. I ask Allaah . to give them success and to bring their children up on uprightness."
Q8: "What do you say to a woman of your age who wishes to learn and memorize the Qur'aan yet she is worried about it and feeling unable to?"
She said, "I say to her there their shall be no despair with the firm, sincere and truthful determination. Begin with sincerity, firm determination and dependence on Allaah at each time. And remember that at this age you should have the time for yourself. However, do not use your time to only go out or to sleep and so forth. Rather, busy yourself with righteous work.
Q9: "Now what would you say to a woman who is still young? What would you advise her?"
She, may Allaah preserve her, said: "Preserve Allaah and He will preserve you. Make use of the favor of Allaah bestowed upon you from health and ways and means of comfort. Use that to memorize the Book of Allaah. This is the light which enlivens your heart, your life and your grave after you die.
And if you have a mother then exert the effort to teach her, and there is no better favor upon a mother than one of her righteous children aiding her to be close to Allaah."

I read it somewhere, waiting eagerly for the answer!
Most of you have probably already heard/seen the "Traveller with the Qur'an" series. Below is a small snippet just to serve as a reminder.. if that doesn't motivate us, I don't know what else will. May Allah protect him and grant him entrance into Jannat ul Firdaws, Ameen.
Good question. First, it won't help your memory if it is already functioning at its best level.
However, if you are deficient in fatty acids such as omega 3 then it will help to bring your brain function to its optimal level.
There are Vitamin D receptors in the Hippocampus. This is the part of the brain responsible for memory. The Vitamin D cod liver oil provides protects the neurons in this area of the brain.
"Electrical signals used in thought, memory and processing bounce around in your brain and get transferred from one brain cell (neuron) to another via a point called a synapse, where the signals cross a physical channel before moving on to the next neuron. The walls that these signals need to pass through are comprised of cell membranes made up of about 20% essential fatty acids – like the Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil."
I wish to recite 3 hours daily. Any good timings to do it. Yesterday i could only do it for 20 minutes.

Nov. 8 - Dec. 20, 2019
"This body of work are visual explorations dealing with the subject matters of living value, harmony, dystopia, passing from life to death, weather patterns, serenity. I dry brush using as little paint as possible on to raw canvas (recycled clothe mostly). The process is slow and deliberate, and because of that creates a calm meditative headspace. These paintings are meditation documents.)"
– Chris Johanson
Galleri Nicolai Wallner is pleased to present Paintings, a solo exhibition of new works by Chris Johanson. This exhibition marks the first time that the gallery has exhibited textile works by Johanson, who in the past year has begun working with found studio drop cloths.
To inquire about the exhibition, please click here
Untitled (Painting 12 of 12) (2019)
121 x 201 cm | 47.6 x 79 in
Since the 1990s, Chris Johanson has put forward an ongoing commentary on the realities and disparities present in contemporary American society. Taking as his starting point the people, social situations, ecosystems, and politics that inhabit the West Coast alongside him, Johanson's works are honest, immersive, provocative and insistent. What we have become accustomed to and what we deal with on a regular basis is put into question as Johanson asks us whether or not we are comfortable with the truths of our existence and daily lives.
Acrylic on drop cloth and found wood
70 x 82 cm | 27.5 x 32.2 in
Equally political and integral to this practice is his use of found materials, which further anchors Johanson within his community. This is done in the light of environmental reasons, but at the same time introduces elements of both chance and connectivity. Colours and materials are dictated by what Johanson can source, and as such speak very much to the specific time and the place in which he finds himself and furthermore the time and place in which we find ourselves.
63 x 71.5 cm | 24.8 x 28 in
The paintings that form the exhibition are therefore linked through their materials, but also in subject matter—speaking to Johanson's insistence on exploring the world he finds himself in. Compared to previous works, the use of paint feels more sparse and decisive. Certain elements repeat themselves throughout the works—people in profile, ants in a line, colourful energy fields—in a way that feels almost meditative.
Untitled (Painting 3 of 12) (2019)
Acrylic on drop cloth
56.5 x 69.5 cm | 22.2 x 27.3 in
41.5 x 54 cm | 16.3 x 21.2 in
With the same hand that Johanson very directly asks us to question our way of life, he also creates an open and free environment in which this discussion is able to take place, a space where we are able to think and feel. The studio drop cloths that make the base of the paintings are stretched like canvas on thin wood frames, echoing the importance of space as the works almost melt into the walls.
162 x 256 cm | 63.7 x 100.7 in
41.5 x 61 cm | 16.3 x 24 in
76 x 60 cm | 30 x 23.6 in
There is a sense of peacefulness that is associated with clarity felt throughout Paintings, and this is precisely what Chris Johanson is trying to create not only for himself, but for us, giving us a means of thinking forward.
101.5 x 232 cm | 40 x 91 in
139 x 174 cm | 54.7 x 68.5 in
Chris Johanson (b. 1968, USA) has become one of America's most challenging painters. A fundamental figure within the San Francisco Mission School, he has had recent solo presentations at LA MOCA Pacific Design Center (Los Angeles), the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery (Saratoga Springs), Portland Museum of Art (Portland) and Malmö Konsthall (Malmö), as well as group presentations at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk), SFMOMA (San Francisco), Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary (San Francisco), MCA Chicago (Chicago), and the Whitney Biennial (New York), Istanbul Biennial (Istanbul) and the Berlin Biennale (Berlin). Johanson's works can be found in the public collections of Hammer Museum (Los Angeles), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) among others.

Is is possible to redefine the orientation of an imported model?
I am trying to see if I can replace some CircuitWorks library parts with downloaded connector models but the default planes for the 2 parts don't match up. The detailed connector model ends up being incorrectly mated on the PCB. So I am wondering if anyone knows how to redefine the orientation of an imported step file? Or if it's even possible. Thanks!
Re: Is is possible to redefine the orientation of an imported model?
there are 2 basic approaches I have seen used.
1) insert part into assembly mate it into the orientaion you desire, the assmebly planes will be your new part planes. save as a part. save the part as a step, parisolid, or other "dumb" solid. open step file, confirm plane orientation and save as a SW part.
2) use "move/copy body" to re-orient the part with respect to your planes.
I like to import model, create a coordinate system where I want it, and export to parasolid using the new coordinate sytem. Now when you import, it will be in the position you want.
The parasolid will use the new UCS as it's default when re-imported.
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your rapid responses.
I used the Move/Copy Body command like Jeremy suggested and it worked like a charm. But I will definitely keep the other methods in mind for later use as well.

IPL 2020: Mumbai Indians (MI) schedule for the season

The much-awaited IPL 2020 is finally set to hit the floors from September 19th in the UAE, with the final being locked on November 10th. After many delays, the BCCI eventually identified the gulf nation as a viable option to host the cash-rich league. Considering the COVID-19 situation, all players are going to reside in a bio-secure bubble during the course of the tournament.
The BCCI finally ended the wait of IPL 2020 fans and released the schedule of the tournament on Sunday. Defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will be facing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening game at Abu Dhabi on September 19th.
Mumbai Indians, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will be aiming to add another IPL title to their name. Rohit is currently the most successful skipper in the history of the IPL, having led the Mumbai franchise to four titles. With match-winners like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Jasprit Bumrah in their side, MI will certainly put up a strong show in this year's IPL. They've already started their outdoor training sessions after serving the mandatory quarantine period.
Mumbai Indians is currently the most successful IPL side
After the opening fixture against MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, MI will face Kolkata Knight Riders on 23rd September at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. On 28th September, the world will witness Rohit Sharma's men battling against Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore.

MI's next two encounters in the league stage will be against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals on 28th and 31st October respectively. Rohit Sharma's men will play their final league stage encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 3rd November at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Latest Crisis Shows the Only Job Scott Walker Cares About Is His Own
'Scott Walker Covering His Political Backside Doesn't Add Up To a Successful Economic Development Strategy'
MADISON, Wis. — According to media reports, alarm bells were being raised about paper industry job losses by a local official in the Fox Valley last year. But Gov. Scott Walker waited until nearly a week after an announcement 600 jobs would be lost and mere minutes before a Democratic press conference, to declare, via Twitter, he would consider doing something.
"The only Wisconsin job Scott Walker cares about saving is his own," said One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross. "The fact is he has sat idly by while hundreds of jobs were being lost."
As reported in the Capital Times, Outagamie County Executive Thomas Nelson wrote to Walker in October 2017 to raise concerns about the struggles of the paper industry in the Fox Valley. He followed up with additional correspondence in November 2017 and again in February 2018.
In late January Kimberly-Clark announced that they would be shedding 600 jobs in the Fox Valley, after taking their massive windfall from the Donald Trump-Paul Ryan tax giveaway to boost shareholders' and executives' bottom lines.
But the first signs Walker was even considering taking some action would not come for nearly another week. Mere minutes before Northeastern Wisconsin Democrats and local officials were to announce a comprehensive plan to try to help the paper industry and save Wisconsin jobs, Walker announced, via Twitter, he was directing his scandal plagued Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to discuss the proposed mass job losses.
Walker's last minute attempt to save face, suggesting a "Foxconn style" giveaway to just one large corporation, ignores the previous losses of nearly 1,000 other Fox Valley paper industry jobs, and the long-term structural challenges faced by the entire industry.
Ross concluded, "You only need to look at the last eight years, during which Wisconsin has lagged most of the nation and the Midwest in jobs, to understand that Scott Walker covering his political backside doesn't add up to a successful economic development strategy."
One Wisconsin Now specializes in effective earned media and online organizing to advance progressive leadership and values.

Radio Lab: Sperm
Hosts, Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich.
Alan Klein
Radio Lab, airing Saturdays, March 7, 14, 21, and 28 at 3 p.m. on AM 1370 and WXXI-FM HD 91.5-2, returns for its fifth season with all new programs. This season includes stories about making choices, race, and diagnoses.
Radio Lab is an experiential investigation that explores themes and ideas through a patchwork of people, sounds, and stories. In each episode, Radio Lab experiments with sound and style allowing science to fuse with culture and information to sound like music.
Hosted by Jad Abumrad with co-host Robert Krulwich, Radio Lab is designed for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder; who are curious about the world, but also want to be moved and surprised.
Choice aired Saturday March 7 at 3 p.m.
Having an abundance of choices is the hallmark of freedom, but does it make you happy? Just because we have more choices doesn't mean we're better at choosing. We scan rows upon rows upon rows of brilliantly colored, sensuously textured fruits in an upscale market seeking the peak of gustatory delight. We jostle through the sensory overload of the ding! ding! ding! place your bets of an Atlantic City casino calibrated to overwhelm and overpower our cool, calm logic. Then escape into the quiet mind of a perfectly rational man on our journey to understand how emotion and logic interact to guide us through a million decisions a day. We turn up the volume on the voices in our heads and try to make sense of the babble. Forget free will, some important decisions could come down to a steaming cup of coffee.
Sperm airs Saturday, March 14 at 3 p.m.
Peering through his microscope at the seeds of human life, the discoverer of sperm thought he was seeing the smallest incarnation of a human soul. If that was the case, why so many wasted souls? We turn to the animal kingdom to answer that question, which lands us on a tour of sperm battles in ducks, flying pig sperm, and promiscuous whippoorwills. We ponder the necessity of males in a world where sperm can be frozen and kept for all eternity. And we sit quietly in the stark sonic space with a widow struggling to keep some essence of her husband alive through sperm collected from his body minutes after his death.
Race airs Saturday, March 21 at 3 p.m.
At the turn of the millennium, researchers succeeded in sequencing the entirety of the human genome and our President exulted in announcing that humans, regardless of race, are more than 99.9 percent the same. But as scientists continue to parse the genome into smaller fragments, is turns out that maybe race, or rather ancestry, does have a genetic signature. We find ourselves at the scene of a crime swamped by news reporters and fearful citizens, and visit a DNA lab where machines hiss and thump as they map out the identity of a single human. We migrate with our ancestors across geographic and cultural boundaries, and wind up in the lunchroom of one of the country's most diverse middle schools to talk about the rainbow of hyphenated ethnic distinctions in teenage life. Finally, we follow an Iraqi man back through his memories of the narrow divisions between Sunni and Shi'a that terrorized daily life in Baghdad.
Diagnosis airs Saturday, March 28 at 3 p.m.
What's in a name? Everything, if that name is carcinoma, or Alzheimer's, or AIDS. Diagnosis comes with a tangled entourage of emotional, social, and medical implications for patient and diagnostician alike. We ride along on the subways and streets of NYC with a young man who's been keeping his mental disorder a secret from his family. We step behind the curtain that separates patients from doctors and find a roller coaster of detachment, empathy, and Gallows humor that accompanies the responsibilities of medical professionals. And we lose ourselves in a historical mystery racing to find our way back from a wrong turn that led to the fatal radiation treatment of healthy babies.
