The RSSI Location Principle: Why is More Infrastructure Needed for Accuracy?
Sponsored by Extronics LtdNov 30 2020
Image Credit: Extronics Ltd
Received signal strength indication (RSSI) location principle utilizes received signal strength to establish the location of the transmitting device.
A wireless device emits a signal and that signal is received by an access point or gateway. Multiple access points will collect the signal and results in the received signal strength being established by each access point.
The greater the distance between the access point and the transmitting device, the weaker the signal. Comparatively, the closer the device transmitting signal is to an access point, the stronger the strength of the signal being received.
The precise location is decided by receiving the signal from several access points and calculating the various measurements to determine an approximation of location, a process technically known as triangulation or trilateration.
Therefore, the approximate location can be suitably positioned on a map. For instance, an asset or a worker wearing a Wi-Fi RTLS tag can be easily and precisely located using this method.
Wi-Fi Triangulation – Indoor vs. Outdoor
All radio technology, including BLE, have to endure the same fundamental issue – signal strength is not linear to distance. This is particularly true considering distances over fifteen to twenty meters.
At this range, there is an exponential drop-off in signal strength; a weakened signal strength can lead to a ten- or twenty-meter shift in location accuracy.
The challenge with RSSI is the aggregate sum of infrastructure required to maintain sub-ten-meter accuracy.
Built up or indoor processing areas tend to have an advantage over larger outdoor areas when utilizing the RSSI location principle. For instance, walls between different rooms assist and offer significant differences in signal strength. Thus, the signal strength received by the access point will be much stronger in the room where the transmitting device is located in contrast to other rooms.
The Added Cost of Wi-Fi Infrastructure
However, the same cannot be said for outdoor environments. To sustain a good level of accuracy, using Wi-Fi triangulation necessitates a vast investment.
Sub-ten-meter location accuracy would need an access point to be situated every twenty to twenty-five meters. When you contemplate the size of a facility such as a refinery, a tank farm, or a large petrochemical plant, then this would lead to the potential installation of thousands of access points.
The cost alone of installing such a large number of access points is considerably high, particularly when the consideration is made that many areas are hazardous environments. This would necessitate the use of certified enclosures, long cable runs, and the associated installation costs that comes with the work.
Reducing the Need for Dense Wi-Fi with Hybrid Technology
RSSI location is an ideal solution in areas where you would normally observe high-concentrations of Wi-Fi, such as on dense metal infrastructure on processing plants. Typically, these areas require an access point every twenty meters to guarantee the appropriate connectivity for various Wi-Fi devices, including tablets.
A hybrid solution facilitates the use of multiple location technology. In large outdoor environments, GPS can be utilized to sustain location accuracy. In these scenarios, Wi-Fi is only used for GPS location data backhaul, and there is no requirement that necessitates the positioning of access points every twenty meters. This method considerably reduces the level of Wi-Fi infrastructure needed for precisely locating personnel or assets in outdoor environments.
For full functionality of site-wide Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), the connectivity required for RTLS requirements should be taken into consideration. Moreover, additional uses of wireless networking, such as other sensor backhaul, data connectivity, ePermitting, video collaboration, or applications like VOIP, should also be reviewed.
To ensure sub-ten-meter location accuracy across an entire site using RSSI is achieved would necessitate a dense wireless network. RSSI is typically well-suited to built-up or indoor environments where you tend to observe dense Wi-Fi infrastructure for various connectivity reasons. Yet, to sustain an adequate level of accuracy in large outdoor spaces, generally found in processing plants, including refineries and petrochemical works, would need considerable capital investment. Hybrid technology offers a more cost-effective system that accomplishes a high degree of accuracy, no matter where you are on site.

It was London Fashion Week's hottest ticket, and the Burberry Prorsum show this afternoon didn't disappoint.
Kanye West, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Gemma Arterton, Andy Murray, Peaches Geldof and Sienna Miller were just a few of the guests on the label's very star-studded front row.
Samantha Cameron, Sir Philip Green and Anna Wintour made up the fashion heavyweights, while celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe added a touch of Hollywood glamour.
It was an impressive line-up, even for Burberry, which is a favourite with the A-list.
And there was clearly a Burberry uniform among the fash pack in attendance. Gemma, Sienna and Rosie, as well as TV star Donna Air were all sporting the same leather trousers.
Rachel Zoe and Prince Harry's ex Florence Brudenell-Bruce, meanwhile, went for thick checked woollen coats - despite the mild autumn temperature.
But it seems the label was intent on creating a unforgettable collection to match.
The accessory that stole the show was the bobble cap, seen on almost every model but all the pieces were a hit.
Thick coats and chunky knits seem perhaps out of place in a summer collection, but Burberry is a Brit label and the sun rarely shines in the UK, even in summer.
For rainy days, the trench has been given an overhaul - now in bright colours and bold prints.
The tribal theme was unexpected but provided a refreshing change.
And for those who didn't get a chance to attend the show, the collection is available to buy online now to receive next season.
Twitter users had a first look at the Spring Summer collection - before it was even unveiled at the Hyde Park show venue.
Every look was shared on the social networking site, allowing followers to view the collection moments before anyone else.
Burberry CCO Christopher Bailey said: 'Twitter is instantaneous and I love the idea that streaming a show can be in many different forms.

High Resolution Mockups of the Lower-Cost iPhone [PICS]
by István Fekete – Tue, July 2, 2013
Rumours of a lower-cost iPhone have been around for several years now. This year these whispers have really gained traction. People familiar with the matter and analysts all say that the lower-cost iPhone will come in multiple colours with a plastic shell.
We have recently seen alleged images showing a coloured plastic shell of a budget iPhone, rumoured to be priced between $300 and $350 and targeting the mid-end market, rather than the low-end. There have also been leaked design drawings showing measurements of the forthcoming handset.
Reuters also did an exclusive article two years ago claiming that a cheaper iPhone is coming. Back then the news agency obtained information that Apple was manufacturing a cheaper version of the iPhone 4.
Although the rumour didn't materialize, iLounge's Jeremy Horwitz broke the ice this year in January when he shared details of the lower-cost iPhone. He said the handset will look a lot like the iPhone 5 and feature the same 4-inch screen size. Notable differences are that the lower-cost handset's curves will be similar to the iPod classic's.
Now based on the above information and other recent information leaks, MacRumors has commissioned Ciccarese Design to produce high-resolution renderings which aim to capture the size, shape and texture of the lower-cost iPhone.
The handset is said to be thicker and slightly taller than the iPhone 5: it is 8.5 mm thick. As we mentioned before, the physical features will be similar to those of the currently available iPhone. A notable change will be the pill-shaped volume buttons.
Apple's budget iPhone is rumoured to launch after the iPhone 5S which is predicted to be unveiled in September or October.

Re-grouting is a curse. Caponi® is a cure.
Re-grouting causes the same burden again and you mean within months. It is a process where a contractor replaces the old grout with new grout. Instead of performing a tile regrouting in NYC, we seal all the grout lines using Caponi® – a two part pigmented solvent titanium epoxy/resin sealer.
Sealing grout instead of re-grouting.
Caponi® – a patented sealer developed by our experts in the lab, color seals all the grout lines with its titanium coating, waterproofing the surface to prevent stains. Re-grouting – peeling and wears off the grout, causes stains within months. We always seal the grout with Caponi®, offering a permanent solution.
Most contractors perform a tile regrouting in NYC not knowing about the latest advancements in the restoration industry. But we have a better technique which will prevent the occurrence of stains and mold. Once we repair your grout with Sentura and seal the grout with Caponi®, you will be free for years. Both of these products work with each other and protect the grout from stains with a 5 year labor warranty.
Re-grouting peels in a short order and gives birth to mold, growing over the entire surface. It makes the shower look worse and also causes health issues. This is the reason why we don't perform a tile regrouting in NYC. If there's mold in the shower grout, we remove it with Imperia, which soaks deep into the grout to eliminate all the mold at the bottom. Then, we prevent its occurrence with Sentura and Caponi®, waterproofing the shower.
is here with no re-grouting.
We have a complete new way to restore your shower. We never re-grout as it is just a temporary fix. We always protect the grout with Caponi®.
Now, with a better alternative.
No. We would use Caponi® to seal your grout with a 5 year warranty. Re-grouting only protects the grout for a short period of time and within six months, you will get the same issue.
No. We avoid performing a shower tile regrouting in NYC, as its a temporary fix. Instead, we would use Sentura to repair the bad areas. Sentura looks like grout and protects the area for a long time. It is stronger than grout.

Home Ethereum Bakkt To Allow Customers Buy And Sell Ethereum For The First Time
Bakkt To Allow Customers Buy And Sell Ethereum For The First Time
Aliyu Pokima
Bakkt is set to allow its customers to trade Ethereum as it seeks to cast a wider net.
This is the first foray of the digital asset manager outside of Bitcoin.
Ethereum's popularity in recent weeks has shot through the roof as it cements its place as the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world.
Institutional investors are wading into Ethereum in droves and the latest is Bakkt's decision to offer Ethereum services to its customers. This gives Bakkt's customers a measure of diversity for the first time.
Welcome Ethereum
Digital asset manager, Bakkt, has announced that it will be enabling consumers to buy, sell, and hold ETH on its platform. The firm stated that users will be given the functionality of transferring ETH through its mobile app, introducing the cryptocurrency to its over 10 million customers.
"Bakkt users have already enjoyed the app's capabilities to leverage bitcoin and we are confident that our addition of Ethereum will be a complement to our growing ecosystem of partners and assets," said Gavin Michael, Bakkt CEO.
Previously, Bakkt only offered Bitcoin crypto services to its customer base and a recent survey conducted by the firm may have reinforced the decision to expand the scope of its offerings. The survey revealed that almost 50% of the participants had purchased some form of cryptocurrency in the last 12 months and individuals that were yet to make a purchase indicated a desire to experiment with cryptocurrency.
Ethereum has had a blistering run since it was launched, rising to become the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world. Its use cases have ballooned as it is now widely considered as the home of DeFi, Dapps, NFTs, and the Metaverse. Bitcoin and Ethereum make up more than half of the cryptocurrency market cap with the combined figure standing at $1.6 trillion.
"At Bakkt, providing flexible opportunities for users to enjoy their digital assets is a top consideration, and adding Ethereum brings a popular and growing cryptocurrency to our roster," says Michael. Aside from retail investors, institutions can now leverage on the new offering to use Bakkt Warehouse for the safe custody of their ether.
Bakkt Continues The Drive
Bakkt was founded in August 2018 and has served as a platform for users to buy, sell and purchase digital assets. The firm became a publicly listed company trading in the NYSE with the symbol BKKT.
Its recent partnership with Mastercard sent its stock soaring by over 100% last month. The partnership allows Mastercard's banks and merchants to issue debit or credit cards that will allow customers to buy and sell assets through wallets supported by Bakkt.
Bakkt plans to increase the number of its users to 18 million in 2022 and expects the figure to climb to 27 million by 2024. It hinges on the "conservative growth assumption on the trajectory of popular financial apps, Robinhood and Cash App."

What Happens To Miners After The Last Bitcoin Has Been Mined? — Big Reveal January 19, 2022


What a year 2017 was! We had our first athlete compete at the California Regionals, our first athlete to compete nationally through USA Weightlifting, our first two preteens to compete and win their division and classes at AAU Worlds for powerlifting, and so many new PRs and movements achieved. I am quite pleased with the continual growth of our community, which is why the past few months have been difficult for me with regard to decisions that I needed to make. After much deliberation, I have decided to step back from running the operations of CFSB and to sell a majority of my share to long-time member, Matt Fossati.
When I took over ownership of the gym in May of 2016, I had three main goals in mind – one was obvious and the other two were secrets of mine. The first and main goal was to keep our community together. I know I say this often, but we really do have a unique community at CFSB. We have been through so much together and have grown both physically and mentally together, and there is no doubt in my mind that we will remain a tight-knit community for years to come. My second (sort of secret) goal was to get Julian to Regionals. It didn't matter who, what, or how we did it, his potential was and is obvious and we had to get him there. He was born to CrossFit. My third (secret) goal was to get Janyce competing in Olympic weightlifting. She was built to Oly lift. It was also my hope with the Max Aita seminar that she would get to work with him, and he took it to another level and asked her join his competition team. By no means am I taking credit for all of the hard work that Julian and Janyce have put into their training. My goal was to provide a space for them to do what they needed to do to get the job done, and they did it and exceeded (and continue to exceed) my expectations. I am so unbelievably proud of them and our community's support of them.
As such, I feel like my purpose for the gym is now complete, and it is my turn to take care of me. Although I have only been official owner for just under two years, we all know that Casey and my role in the gym has been a prominent one for about three years leading up to the transfer of ownership. For the past five years, I have poured my heart and soul into the gym, not allowing much time for me. The gym was never about me or my ego; it was always about our community.
I will still be around to coach and bring Matt up to speed on all things operations. However, once we get him and the coaching schedule settled, I won't be around as often as there are some areas of my life that I need to focus on and grow and to heal, and unfortunately, I need to step away from the gym to do so. I am very much looking forward to the next chapter of my life, but CFSB will always be part of it. Of course I will be around for The Open to judge and support. I wouldn't dare miss it.
I am excited to have Matt join our team as he has a fantastic and successful background at running and growing his mobile gaming business, Game Masons. Not many people know this, but Matt was part of a small team that created one of the first WOD-tracking apps called PocketWOD. He's been in the CrossFit game for a while and understands what is needed for the business to grow and thrive. I am confident he will take CFSB to the next level.
From the bottom of my goofy little heart, I am beyond grateful for your support, your belief in me to take over this wonderful community and your trust. This has been an exciting, challenging, and kickass experience. Thank you.
Hey gang, hope everyone is staying sane from being indoors! We are on a limited schedule again due to the air quality.

Understanding technical data and computer software regulations is one of the most challenging steps in contracting with the U.S. Government. An often overlooked – and one of the most important – facets of working with data and software is how best to mark and protect your intellectual property assets. Failure to mark your IP properly, with the appropriate restrictive legends, can lead to forfeiture of your IP rights. This class will explore not only how to understand the myriad of IP regulations regarding data and software protection, but also how to properly and effectively mark all of your data and software to avoid inadvertant disclosure to the U.S. Government or any third parties. We will examine, among other topics, (i) various types of restrictive legends and licensing approaches; (ii) a host of real-world examples of how best to mark drawings, specifications and software; and (iii) how to implement steps within your company to manage successfully data and software that is going to be delivered to the U.S. Government.

Canada's faulty COVID alert app for most of Nov bars a few in exposure checks
#Ottawa; #COVIDAlertGlitch; #ExposureNotification; #GooglePlayStore; #AppleAppStore
Ottawa/Canadian-Media: Canada's COVID Alert app glitch, that left some Canadian users without exposure notifications for much of November, was fixed last week by the developers, media reports said.
Covid Alert app. Image credit: Twitter handle
A glitch in the COVID Alert prevented the app from checking for potential exposure to the coronavirus on certain devices for at least two weeks in November.
An update to the app released on Nov. 23 said it would fix a "bug causing gaps in exposure checks for some users."
The uncertainty of the number of people who missed exposure notifications due to the glitch, raises the prospect that certain people were not advised to self-isolate or seek a COVID-19 test in a timely manner, presumably delaying diagnosis.
This episode highlights how the app could provide users with a false sense of security, said Kelly Bronson, a Canada Research Chair in science and society and serves on the Global Pandemic App Watch program at the University of Ottawa, which tracks the uptake of similar tools around the world, pointed out "automation bias" -- human tendency to rely on automated decision-making, which can reduce personal vigilance and warned that the apps
"are not a panacea."
"I think it's really important that people know the limitations of these technologies," she said, CBC News reported.
The process of receipt by a smartphone codes from a central server of exposure to Covid 19 is supposed to take place several times a day.
Several users said on the social media that their devices did not show any exposure checks from Nov. 9 to 23 .
The problem was presumably first been reported by commenters in the Google Play Store as early as Nov. 12 "I noticed today that COVID Alert has done no exposure checks for the last two weeks," a user wrote in Apple's App Store on Nov. 20. "What good is this?," reported by CBC News.
Users of Android devices are requested to check their the Google Play App Store, and users of iPhones should check with their Apple's App Store to ensure their Covid19 Alert app is updated.

This journey has been remarkable thanks to the guidance, support, and encouragement provided by every one of you – the donors, volunteers, and the national executive team. In addition to being a tremendous learning experience for me personally, it has also given me the opportunity to connect with so many of you who are similarly passionate about serving the underprivileged. I want to take this opportunity to thank the many donors and Ekal volunteers from across the world with whom I have had the privilege of working, as well as the Ekal office staff whose support has been critical in helping this organization achieve the remarkable growth it has seen.
It is time for me to pass on the baton and it is with great pleasure that I welcome Dr. Subra Dravida as the new President of Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of USA effective January 1, 2023. Dr. Dravida is no stranger to Ekal, having served in several capacities over the years in support of the organization.

Vanyatra experience by Shri Lingraj Patil who recently visited Karnataka Ekal village from San Francisco Chapter on Dec 1st, 2022
- Lingraj Patil, San Francisco
We invite you to come and experience the school presence firsthand, through a Vanyatra which will take you through our schools, programs, and more.
Preparation to visit an Ekal village -
Lingada Halli, Gangavathi Taluka, Koppal District, Karnataka. It is 30 minutes from the UNESCO heritage site, Hampi, capital of the legendary Vijayanagara empire. This used to be an empire where precious stones, pearls and diamonds used to be sold by the kilos and pounds on the streets. But then it all fell when the foreign forces invaded it. Now Ekal is helping rebuild some of that lost glory.
Preparing to visit Ekal Village is quite simple but it requires some pre-planning. You need to find a school you want to visit and fill a form. You can do that here: https://www.ekal.org/visit-a-school
The organizers in India will put you in touch with the local Ekal coordinators. I received my response within 24 hours and others have had similar experiences.
My local coordinators were very pleasant and I found them to be very helpful. However you need to keep in mind that things in India move a little slower and also the fact that they need to coordinate with local villages where connectivity might be challenging. So, a two week heads up is recommended. In case you are not able to provide 2 week notice, you can still try, it may work out. Once you decide time and date, please try to stick to that since villagers, kids, and Ekal coordinators eagerly plan for your visit. What touched me the most was the way I was received and welcomed to their village. They will treat you like a rock star, you may not think you are one, but for them you are one. In my case they were so excited that they gave me a traditional Indian welcome with flowers, aarti, and lots of kids eager to meet you.
Though you are not required to take anything with you, still in my case, I purchased some books on Swami Vivekananda, leadership development, character development. I also took some sports equipment - cricket bat and ball, and volleyball turned out to be quite popular among boys and tennikoit ring and skipping ropes were a big hit among girls.

Have you heard that your favorite flavor of things can often unlock hidden, or not so hidden, personality traits? I thought it might be fun to do a little article about our top five most requested cake flavors and also include a small tidbit about what those flavors say about you. You might be surprised by the number one flavor and of course the flavors change over time but it was a lot of fun to look back at our records to find out what you all are loving right now in terms of cake flavors. What's your favorite from out list and does the description match some aspect of your personality? Let us know your favorite cake flavor in the comments below.
We like to call it coffee-chocolate but this can also be known as mocha. Our fifth most popular cake flavor. This one tends to appeal to the go-getter, or power couple types. Maybe it's because there is that hint of caffeine that lends to the idea of getting things done!
Berries are tart and sweet, bright and delicious. Those who choose berries and cream as their primary cake flavor tend to be a little spunky. According to the experts, people attracted to berry flavors are colorful in character and embrace life in every way they can.
A unique flavor in and of itself, our third most requested cake flavor is passion fruit. Experts say those that choose to go with this flavor are bold and take risks. If you are one who would choose to go with this flavor you are often known to be the life of the party.
Our second most ordered cake flavor is no surprise as there are a ton of red velvet lovers out there. If this is your favorite cake flavor you tend to be a romantic. The red color of the cake screams love. The experts say that those who choose this color are ready to share life with that special someone.
Currently our most requested cake flavor, chocolate-salted caramel often appeals to those who love the perfect combination of salty and sweet. The experts say those who love chocolate salted caramel tend to be a little impulsive, sometimes caught between two sides they tend to jump in and take risks.

Letter to the Connecticut Governor's Council on Climate Change
This letter was submitted by Acadia Center to the Governor's Council on Climate Change (GC3). With greenhouse gas emissions increasing since 2012, Connecticut must act quickly to meet its mandatory 2020 emissions cap. Acadia Center proposes three short-term mitigation strategies that Connecticut could pursue almost immediately to reverse the current emissions trend: electrification of building heating and vehicles, increased solar PV deployment, and expanded energy efficiency.

Q: Label alignment to top when UIImage is nil Using AutoLayout I am trying to designing dynamic UI , I trying to move label to the top sometimes when image view image will be empty using auto layout[![enter image description here][1]][1]

A: Take IBOutlet of hight constant of image view.
Check programatically in cell for row if image is null then set constant to 0 otherwise whatever you set before.

A: I suggest you to use a vertical UIStackView for the image and the label. The UIStackView will automatically align the elements the correct way.
At the end you could do the whole cell with stackviews:
UIStackView (vertical)
  UIStackView (horizontal)  // header
    UIImage                 // icon
    UIStackView (vertical)
      UIImage               // mAdvisor
      UILabel               // description
      UIView                // empty 'spacer' view
  UILabel                   // content

The 'spacer' view is needed to move the label to top if no image is provided.

Google's new "Sponsored Email" feature – is it CASL-compliant?
Google's new "Sponsored Email" feature is being rolled out and tested slowly across many areas. The program has been in some states in the United States for at least a year, but now it's coming to Canada. Much like a "sponsored tweet/post", it's a type of paid advertisement disguised as a normal feature of the site.
While details are thin about what the final product will look like, early pictures show the 'sponsored email' sitting in the user's inbox, and having the ability to be saved, deleted or forwarded. The project has been in development for a few years now, and it stands ready to completely change how direct email marketing works, if it doesn't run afoul of anti-spam legislation first.
The difference between direct email marketing and spam is tricky to draw. I love the weekly newsletters I get from a number of community organizations around my city, but I couldn't care less for the seasonal updates I get from Amazon telling me about their Father's Day deals. To me, Amazon's updates feels like spam, but from a legal point of view, it's not.
Spam has historically been viewed as unsolicited email, and legislation aimed at stopping it has until recently looked at the 'source' of the problem. By asking the question, 'where did you get that email address from?' early efforts to legislate against spam have done so from a privacy perspective. Your email address was 'private' information, so a third party buying or selling that information was restricted.
Google's new feature, 'Sponsored Email,' is a great idea to get around that issue. Now instead of needing to buy 10,000 Canadian email addresses and hope that some of them contain real live people, a company can in theory contact Google and ask for their mail to show up in 10,000 Canadians' inboxes. The company never needs to have access to the email addresses, so no private information is shared.
The problem is that a new generation of anti-spam legislation is taking hold. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) doesn't tackle spam from a privacy point of view, but from a consent point of view. Under CASL, it matters less how you got the email address, and more that you had permission to contact it, and that's a problem for Google's new program.
Sponsored mail behaves similarly to regular mail.
Google's sponsored email program, like 'sponsored posts' before it, is walking a delicate line of trying to blend advertisements into people's use of the site. It also highlights the restrictions created by CASL. The more email-like the sponsored emails look and feel, the more effective they will be as advertisements, but the more likely users will be to rebel and more likely to run afoul of the new legislation.
Additionally, while it's difficult to imagine a Twitter feed or Facebook page as being the type of 'electronic address' as described by CASL, your inbox is an area that is clearly intended to be protected. Google is going to need to tread extra carefully if it tries to move ads off of the sidebar and into Canadians' inboxes.

LONDON — The audience at St. John's Notting Hill was a restless bunch. Some drooled and yelped while others slurped their drinks loudly. A few others grabbed each other to dance to the pieces by Beethoven, Dvorak and Vivaldi, and one even stealthily lifted a credit card out of another audience member's handbag.
It certainly was not the usual staid affair that many expect from chamber music events, but that is the whole point behind Bach to Baby concerts, which are geared toward babies, toddlers, and their parents and caregivers.
For people who spent their pre-child-rearing years attending operas, symphonies and concerts, having a baby can put a damper on accessing cultural events. Bach to Baby, created by the Chinese-Canadian concert pianist Miaomiao Yu in 2009, was set up to address this issue, giving parents the opportunity to enjoy quality music without stares and shushing. Bach to Baby's other mission is to expose children to classical music (the group also holds concerts for other musical genres including opera, jazz and traditional folk) from an early age. Ms. Yu said babies as young as a few weeks old had attended shows.
From a first concert in London (where Ms. Yu lives with her husband and two young sons) in February 2011 where 300 people showed up, the program has grown exponentially. Now, across all of London's boroughs, as well as in surrounding counties, there are about 50 Bach to Baby concerts each month, totaling around 600 live performances a year. This includes several concerts at the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace (tickets often sell out within 20 minutes). The schedule is online at www.bachtobaby.com/calendar/.
According to Ms. Yu, tens of thousands of children and parents have been to a Bach to Baby show over the last seven years, and this year the program expanded to Birmingham, England. Concerts in Oxford and Cambridge start next month. In January, Bach to School was started so that children who do not live near London or in the Midlands can have professional musicians come to their schools and perform. Ticket prices range from 8 to 12 pounds for an adult, or about $10.60 to $16 (children get in free).
Ms. Yu, who holds a master's degree from London's Royal Academy of Music, was inspired to start Bach to Baby when she was pregnant with her first son in 2009. She knew that a number of venues did not allow small children into performances, and she was concerned that becoming a mother could stifle her attendance at artistic happenings.
However, she persevered, and after that first concert, Bach to Baby took off.
"We had that concert, then we had another and then 10 others so it grew like that," Ms. Yu, who is also a professor of piano at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, said with a chuckle.
While Bach to Baby approaches professional musicians to perform in concerts, musicians also often reach out to Bach to Baby.
Philip Smith, an English baritone who has sung at London's Royal Opera House, has also enjoyed performing for Bach to Baby. Ms. Yu recalled one program where he "deftly moved" from excerpts from "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Magic Flute" to "The Hippopotamus Song" by Flanders and Swann.
There have been requests from the United States and Canada and across Europe to open up Bach to Baby programs, but Ms. Yu said they don't want to expand too rapidly because they are determined to ensure the quality of the performances. But that does not rule out plans for expansion down the road.


Actress Lena Headey of Game of Thrones is the latest actress to accuse fallen filmmaker Harvey Weinstein of being sexually inappropriate toward her.
In a stunning set of tweets published Tuesday, the 44-year-old performer shared two separate interactions she apparently had with Weinstein, with the first taking place at the premiere of The Brothers Grimm at the 62nd Venice Film Festival in 2005.
"I said something like, 'oh, come on mate! It'd be like kissing my dad!'" Lena went on.
Years later, according to Lena, the two met again in Los Angeles, although Headey assumed that their past meeting would lead Weinstein to fully understand that she wanted their relationship to remain professional.
"I had always carried the thought that he'd never try anything with me again, not after I laughed and said never in a million years," she wrote.
Despite the brush-off, Headey alleges that Harvey did, in fact, make another move to make their relationship more personal following a meeting over breakfast.
"We ate breakfast [and] we talked about films [and] film making," Headey wrote.
When Harvey returned, he mentioned to Lena that he had a script she might be interested in, inside of his hotel room.
On a whim, Lena claims she reiterated to Weinstein that she did not want anything more than a professional relationship with him.
"Please don't think I got in [this elevator] for any other reason. Nothing is going to happen," Lena expressed in her letter.
Headey says her response infuriated Harvey into silence.
Harvey then allegedly used his key card to open his hotel room door, to no avail, which made him even angrier.
After paying for a ride for Lena, Harvey warned the actress not to repeat any of what occurred to anyone, including her manager or agent.
Read Lena Headey's full account against Harvey Weinstein below.
Reps for Harvey Weinstein have not yet commented on Lena Headey's story.

PRAXIS Publishing
Publications PRAXIS Publishing Books Breviary CD
Order Form/
Wisdom texts for 21st century contemplatives
A subscription of contemplative readings, meditations and images that blends what we are calling "Visio Divina" (a mandala like gaze at iconic images) with Lectio Divina, the heart's listening to and contemplation of sacred texts and questions for reflection and inquiry. Think of this as a virtual or imaginal Breviary—a prayer book for wisdom seekers distributed to your inbox. Each month we will send at least three and usually four complete meditations for your use in contemplative prayer. You would treat it like any other reading and prayer form with sacred texts and icons, but these would be virtual and organized around particular mediations with many dimensions. Perhaps you would want to work with one meditation of the Breviary per week, and sit with the readings, gaze on the image(s), and respond deeply to the questions using personal forms of meditation and journaling until your own eye, heart and mind became illumined. In this way the Breviary would become a kind of monthly GPS (spiritual guidance system for your life and contemplative path). The subscription is $10 per month with 3, 6 and 12 month packages available.

Tiger Woods says he's unlikely to play full time again
Tiger Woods holds his first press conference since his Feb. 23 car crash in Los Angeles at the Hero World Challenge golf tournament in Nassau, Bahamas, on Tuesday.
(Doug Ferguson / Associated Press)
Nov. 30, 2021 Updated 8:35 AM PT
NASSAU, Bahamas —
Tiger Woods had nothing to say about the February car crash that shattered his right leg and even less of an idea what his future in golf holds for him, except that he's a long way from deciding whether he can compete against the best.
"I can show up here and I can host an event, I can play a par-3 course, I can hit a few shots, I can chip and putt," he said Tuesday. "But we're talking about going out there and playing against the world's best on the most difficult golf courses under the most difficult conditions.
"I'm so far from that."
Woods addressed the media for the first time since his Feb. 23 crash on a winding road in Rolling Hills Estates. Police said he was driving at least 84 mph when he crossed a median and his SUV tumbled down a hill.
Asked his recollection of the accident, Woods said curtly, "All those answers have been answered in the investigation, so you can read about all that there in the police report." When asked whether he had any flashbacks to the trauma, he replied: "I don't, no. Very lucky in that way."
Tiger Woods moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for recovery after rollover crash
The golf star was seriously injured in a crash Tuesday in Rancho Palos Verdes.
He also felt lucky to be alive and to still have his right leg, and to be able to walk into the press center at Albany Golf Club without a noticeable limp.
Woods is the tournament host of the Hero World Challenge, which starts Thursday for 20 elite players in an unofficial holiday event he has held for two decades.
Woods had said he will never play a full-time schedule again, but he could still pick and choose a few tournaments a year. He said returning the Masters, which he won in 2019 after fusion surgery on his lower back, was too far away to know he could play.
"I don't foresee this leg ever being what it used to be, hence I'll never have the back what it used to be, and clock's ticking," said Woods, who turns 46 on Dec. 30.

The rollover crash on a steep road in Rancho Palos Verdes that badly broke legendary golfer Tiger Woods' leg and may have jeopardized his career was an accident, and no criminal charges will be filed against Woods
"I've come off surgeries before, I've come off long layoffs and I've won or come close to winning before. So I know the recipe for it," he said. "I've just got to get to a point where I feel comfortable enough where I can do that again."

About John Kinder: A transfer from Syracuse University, Kinder already graduated from Syracuse in 2014 and is using his final year of college eligibility at Stony Brook to obtain a masters degree in higher education administration. A wide receiver and quarterback at Syracuse who appeared in four games, Kinder already had experience with Uplifting Athletes at his former school and is working hard to get the Stony Brook Chapter established. He's appeared in five games this season for the Seawolves at quarterback, throwing for 356 yards and one touchdown. A standout high school quarterback, Kinder was the 2009 New York Class A Player of the Year and threw for more than 5,000 yards during his prep career.
KINDER: As a player my favorite part of the game day experience is simply the feeling I get when I wake up in the morning knowing that it's game day. As a football player you train extremely hard, from winter workouts into spring ball, then summer camp, and then in-season practices. We as football players appreciate game day so much because we put so much into it only to have a few opportunities to showcase all of this hard work.
KINDER: My former teammate at Syracuse University, Eric Morris insisted I get involved with Uplifting Athletes when he discovered I was coming to Stony Brook. He knew I had a passion for serving others and he thought that along with it going toward a good cause, it would be a great way to jump right in and begin being a leader for my fellow teammates. It was an excellent suggestion on his part and I'm glad I got involved with Uplifting Athletes.
KINDER: My most memorable experience as a college football player didn't come on the playing field, it came in the classroom. As a freshman I struggled academically, I worked and worked to dig myself out of the hole I dug for myself in that first semester of my freshman year. My most memorable moment as a college football player came when I had my first 3.0 semester.
KINDER: The toughest team I've ever faced would have to be USC, they had tons of talent all over the field and although we gave them a great game, in the end they were just too much for us to keep up with.
KINDER: I enjoy watching Everett Golson, the quarterback of Notre Dame play. I think he throws the ball very well and what makes him an excellent player are those intangibles that you can't coach such as his natural feel for the pocket and his running ability.
KINDER: My favorite NFL player is Marshawn Lynch, because he plays every single snap with a passion and energy that you don't often see his opponents match. I think he instills a fear in opposing defenses because of his aggressive, "dog mentality," and demeanor on the field.
KINDER: My favorite road stadium to play in is MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and Jets.
KINDER: Some things that I look forward to in life after football are having a family and one day being a great husband and father. In terms of a career, I look forward to helping facilitate growth and development in college students as they embark on their journey of self-discovery.

Artist Ellsworth Kelly, Master Of Colorful Abstraction, Dies At 92
By Neda Ulaby
Ellsworth Kelly, shown before one of his huge pieces at Peter Carlson Enterprises, Sun Valley, in 1996, has died at the age of 92.
Ellsworth Kelly, one of the greatest American artists of the past century, has died at 92.
Kelly died at his home in Spencertown, N.Y., says gallery owner Matthew Marks, who has represented the artist for two decades. Kelly is survived by his longtime partner Jack Shear.
For seven decades, Kelly created pure, strong shapes and colors, immersive and brilliant. His vivid geometric blocks, in sculpture and paintings, are displayed at modern art museums from Paris to Houston to Boston to Berlin.
He started his artistic career in France — but not by wearing a beret and standing behind an easel. He was in a U.S. Army uniform during World War II, serving in a special unit made mostly of artists. Their job was to fool the Germans into thinking there were more Allied forces than there actually were.
Kelly told NPR in 2007 they did it partly by building fake tanks and trucks from wood and burlap.
"But later they were made in rubber — inflatable and they looked like the real thing," he said.

A visitor looks at the artwork Two Panels — Blue-Yellow (1970) by Ellsworth Kelly as part of the exhibition "J'aime les panoramas" (I love the panoramas) at the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations in Marseille, southern France, on Nov. 2.
After the war, Kelly lived in Paris. Art historian Sarah Rich says he'd walk around snapping photographs.
"And not photographs of famous places, like the Eiffel Tower, but photos of an alleyway" — or a plain old window, or the side of an unassuming building.
In that photograph, Kelly would see a square. And he would use that black square as the basis of a painting.
Of course, you don't need a photo to paint a black square. You just need a ruler. But Ellsworth Kelly wanted to bring scraps of the world almost mystically onto his canvas.

In this 2007 Ellsworth Kelly piece, four separate oil-painted canvases combine to form a single work, Green Blue Black Red.
He boiled shadows and shapes down into abstractions — monochromes, just one strong, pure, bright color. Kelly said that came from his boyhood in New Jersey surrounded by nature.
"I've always been a colorist," he said. "I think I started when I was very young, being a birdwatcher fascinated by the bird colors."
The way Kelly used colors made them feel almost alive. Just to face a giant red rectangle by Ellsworth Kelly is to come to red in a fresh and profound way.
"I feel that I like color in its strongest sense," Kelly told NPR in 2013. "I don't like mixed colors that much, like plum color or deep, deep colors that are hard to define. I liked red, yellow, blue, black and white — [that] was what I started with."
When Kelly moved to New York in the 1950s, abstract expressionism was all the rage. He did not fit in, says Sarah Rich, with all the cooler-than-cool artists flinging paint at canvases — or dripping it, or standing in it.
"He was really not interested in their corny expressionism and epic self-importance," she says. "All of that stuff just seemed burdensome and dull."
Forging a new aesthetic language in that environment was not easy, Kelly said.
"It was a very hard job doing it all by myself, getting to where I am," he told NPR.

A visitor looks at an installation by artist Ellsworth Kelly on June 18, 2010, as part of an exhibition at Villa Medici, the headquarters of the French Academy in Rome.
Where Ellsworth Kelly was, when he died, was the position of a universally recognized master of contemporary art. He influenced minimalism and pop art with his bold, spare paintings, drawings and sculptures, which are in virtually every major museum of modern art.
When Kelly was 90, NPR asked what he enjoyed most about being very old.
"I feel like I'm 20 in my head," he said. "My painting makes me feel good and I just feel like I can live on.
"If you just keep working, maybe that's possible."
