We'll be posting results from this survey to the frontpage one at a time, since a few people asked us not to share all of them at once and risk flooding the Forum. You can see the full set of results at our sequence.
This post is part of a series on Open Phil's 2020 survey of a subset of people doing (or interested in) longtermist priority work. See the first post for an introduction and a discussion of the high-level takeaways from this survey. Previous posts discussed the survey's methodology, background statistics about our respondent pool, our findings on what helped and hindered our respondents' positive impact on the world, and our findings on impact from EA groups specifically. This post discusses results about how and when our respondents first came into contact with EA, rationalist, etc. ideas.
You can read this whole sequence as a single Google Doc here, if you prefer having everything in one place. Feel free to comment either on the doc or on the Forum. Comments on the Forum are likely better for substantive discussion, while comments on the doc may be better for quick, localized questions.
See our graph of how our respondents said they first learned about EA/EA-adjacent ideas.
On average, our respondents reported first hearing about EA/EA-adjacent ideas when they were 20 years old. In particular, just 9% of respondents who reported first hearing about EA/EA-adjacent ideas said they heard about them when they were 16 or younger. So even our very-engaged respondent pool is not often being exposed extremely early in life. This might indicate that there's substantial room for broad outreach or awareness-raising work which could reach these people sooner.
We asked about our respondents' "origin stories," as well as specifically how they first learned about EA/EA-adjacent ideas.
Briefly (in 1-2 paragraphs), how did you come to be a person who pursues or might potentially pursue longtermist priority work? What is your "origin story"? (You'll get more opportunities to elaborate on this later in this section.)
Tell us about how you first learned about EA/EA-adjacent ideas. (No need to repeat anything you've already said in a previous part of the survey.)
I then went through each respondent's answers to these questions, with the intent of categorizing our respondents by how they first learned about each of these ideas.
It would have been convenient to be able to put everyone in just one category, but some of our respondents didn't fit neatly into just one category. So I tagged respondents as having been exposed to EA/EA-adjacent ideas with up to three tags, though most people got only one tag. Here is the distribution, showing each tag by how many respondents it applied to.
The "EA-adjacent ideas" here were most often rationality and Bostromian x-risk, and occasionally futurism/transhumanism, e.g. Kurzweil.
I applied multiple tags in about 15% of cases. These were situations where the respondent either didn't remember or didn't clarify which of several sources was their first exposure, or they described independently encountering multiple sources of EA/EA-adjacent ideas at around the same time — for example, reading Superintelligence and separately encountering 80,000 Hours' website. In the second case, I only applied multiple tags if I was pretty sure the sources were actually independent.
Most respondents answered these questions. Those who didn't, or who did but didn't provide enough information for me to make a judgment, got an "unclear" rating.
Some notes on the tags:
Personal contact: This tag refers to a 1:1 relationship such as one with a friend, partner, or family member (rather than e.g. listening to someone give an in-person talk). I was somewhat discriminating with this tag, since a lot of exposures are aided by other people without them being a central feature of the exposure. It's hard to draw a clear line, but if your friend casually mentions "Hey, you should check out this thing called Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, you'd probably like it" and you check it out, love it, read the whole thing, and end up spending a bunch of time on LessWrong, I think that "I got into it via HPMOR" is a better description than "I got into it via my friend." "Via my friend" would seem like a better description to me if the friend was contributing a lot to the experience[1].
I also, separately, tracked the broader "did this exposure involve another person?" question, since it seemed interesting too — see below. About 36% of first exposures involved another person in the broad sense, so the difference between these was about 10 percentage points.
It's perhaps notable that no name shows up here more than twice. That is, no one person was mentioned by more than 2 of our respondents as having introduced them to EA/EA-adjacent ideas.
80,000 Hours: This is all the 80,000 Hours website, as opposed to its other programs. Many respondents didn't describe how they found the 80,000 Hours website, and some said they didn't remember. Four respondents described encountering 80k via googling something related to impactful careers. Two described having it recommended to them by a friend.
Peter Singer's work: Since Peter Singer predates the modern EA movement by so much, a number of respondents described having encounters with those of his works that do not directly mention EA (for example, Animal Liberation or Famine, Affluence, and Morality), and discovering "EA" later independently. Other respondents encountered works of his that do mention EA (for example, his TED talk) which were their gateway into the movement. I used this tag only to refer to the latter situation.
School class includes university and secondary-level classes, though all but one of the mentions were at the university level. All but one of these were philosophy classes — one was a computer science class. Peter Singer's class at Princeton in particular was two respondents' introduction to EA.
Wait But Why: Both this blog's post on AGI and superintelligence (based on Bostrom and Kurzweil's work) and its post on careers (which links to 80,000 Hours) were cited by respondents as their introduction to EA/EA-adjacent ideas.
Local or university EA group: A plurality of the time, the exposure happened through the respondent attending an event organized by the group. Some other respondents were exposed via a university mailing list, attending an extracurricular fair, or just by looking at the list of extracurriculars on the university website. One respondent found their local group via Meetup.com.
Will MacAskill's work: We can further break this down.
It's interesting that podcast interviews were about half as many respondents' first exposure as Doing Good Better, but the low sample size makes this weak evidence of anything.
Peter Unger's work: This is another philosopher with a "Drowning Child"-style argument — the "Vintage Sedan" argument presented in his book Living High and Letting Die. Both respondents who mention his work also mention Peter Singer's work.
Wait But Why seems surprisingly effective at introducing folks to EA/EA-adjacent ideas; e.g. half as many people give it credit for introducing them as give credit to Giving What We Can.
"School class" being more popular than Slate Star Codex or Nick Bostrom's work was also a surprise to me.
Here's the equivalent chart from the 2020 EA Survey. (Note that theirs is a multiple-choice question, and did not allow multiple answers — so their percentages sum to 100%, while ours do not.)
Doing a quick eyeball of the two charts, they look pretty similar insofar as they're comparable. "Peter Singer's work" doesn't appear, but it's because they didn't have that category — that would fall under "Book, article, or blog post" or "TED talk." "Personal contact" leads in both, though by somewhat more in ours. A somewhat larger percentage of our respondents came from LessWrong and from HPMOR (not a category on the 2020 EA Survey, but free-text analysis shows that it appears as part of their LessWrong category).
One clear difference is that only about 2% of our respondents mention being introduced via podcasts, while ~7% of the 2020 EA Survey respondents do. I think this is due to our survey having a sampling bias against people who got into EA/EA-adjacent ideas very recently, as described in here (while the 2020 EA Survey has less of that bias). Only 3% of EA Survey respondents who got involved before 2017 say they were first exposed via a podcast. There was a huge uptick in people getting exposed to EA via podcasts in 2020, which seems to have been driven mostly by Sam Harris's podcast[2]; also, the 80k podcast started in 2017, though the EA Survey doesn't record many people saying they first heard of EA that way.
Our respondents also look about 2x more likely than EA Survey respondents to have been introduced via a class at school, though I'm not sure how much of this is noise. (4% of our respondents gave this answer, vs. 2% for the EA Survey.)
Separately from the "personal contact" tag (see above), I tracked yes/no for whether the exposure involved a personal contact (as in a 1:1 relationship, such as one with a friend, not counting e.g. a workshop) in any way, vs. being entirely self-directed. 36% of the cases (79/217) seemed to involve a personal contact in this way.
As I looked through the data, I was interested to see people remark that they had encountered e.g. LessWrong and GiveWell separately and independently, only later discovering any connection between the two. Out of curiosity, I went back and tracked yes/no for whether people discovered two clusters independently as well. 6% of the cases (13/217) described something like this, though we were not really asking questions about it, so I'd guess this is much lower than the real incidence. The two different clusters were often rationality and EA, or Bostrom and EA.
We asked our respondents how old they were when they first learned about EA/EA-adjacent ideas.
How old were you when you first learned about EA/EA-adjacent ideas?
90% of our respondents answered this question. The distribution of responses is below.
The mean was at age ~21.25, and the median was age 20. So our respondents on average first heard of EA/EA-adjacent ideas when they were college-aged. 27% of respondents reported first being exposed at age 18 or below. These results don't change substantially taking into account respondent weight.
Here's our respondents by (approximate) year of first exposure to EA/EA-adjacent ideas, calculated from age at first exposure and age.
The median year of first exposure was 2015[3].
So despite our emphasis on the last three years in our selection process, our respondents on average got involved before that — those who "came to the attention" of our advisors in the last 3 years took some time to do so. Since we asked our advisors to suggest people who had come to their attention since 2017, it looks like this took between 2 - 4 years for these respondents on average.
I think this intuition is tracking replaceability — the friend is playing a role that anyone could play, while HPMOR has to be HPMOR — but that's not something we're otherwise trying to capture here. So this distinction may be ill-advised and inconsistent. Nevertheless, I applied this tag in situations where it seemed to me that the personal contact was a central feature of the exposure. Some examples of cases that involved other people but didn't meet this bar: "my friend showed me the drowning child thought experiment," "my friend recommended I check out the Sequences." ↩
In 2020 he did an interview with Will MacAskill and publicly signed the GWWC Pledge. The 2020 EA Survey's free-text analysis shows that for ~60% of its respondents selecting "podcast" as the way they first heard about EA, the podcast in question was Sam Harris's. ↩
Because this calculation is based on subtracting two numeric ages, and not on birth date, it's just an approximation. ↩

For reference, I think the 95% CI for your figures would be about 2.1-7.7%, and 1.3-2.5% for the EAS.
Doing a quick eyeball of the two [OP and EAS] charts, they look pretty similar insofar as they're comparable. "Peter Singer's work" doesn't appear, but it's because they didn't have that category — that would fall under "Book, article, or blog post" or "TED talk." "Personal contact" leads in both, though by somewhat more in ours.
Notably, if we look at the EAS open comment data which I mentioned here, we can see that when Peter Singer references are counted as a single category, he's among the top-mentioned. 80,000 Hours don't appear among the top mentions in this analysis, most likely because they were a fixed category and respondents didn't feel the need to select 80,000 Hours and then write "80,000 Hours" in the further details box (personal contacts and EA groups often appeared in the further details of other categories, in contrast).

Carlos Martinez and Mariachi Vargas celebrate 'the music of life'
The music directors of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán — known far and wide as "The World's Greatest Mariachi" — cast a wide-brimmed shadow. Since its founding in 1898 in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the group has had only five music directors. The fourth, Don Jose "Pepe" Martinez, led the group from 1975 to 2014. Rubén Fuentes, who joined Mariachi Vargas as a violinist at age 18 in 1944, became the third music director in 1950. Though he stepped down from active duty 30 years ago, Fuentes at 89 continues to serve as the group's owner, producer and arranger.
So when violinist Carlos Martinez, 35, who has 20 years of professional experience as a mariachi performer, took over last year from his Uncle Pepe, he knew he had a tough act to follow. Not just as the successor of greats — as the leader of Mariachi Vargas, he's upholding a century of tradition and safeguarding mariachi's status as Mexico's national music. Ahead of the group's concert Oct. 31 at Symphony Center, Martinez spoke about Mariachi Vargas' past and future:
How does it feel to be following in the footsteps of giants?
I feel very fortunate to be responsible for the best mariachi in the world. I've tried to bring all my heart, talent and ability to the job. It is a great responsibility, but I feel comfortable in the role.
Carlos Martinez, music director of Mariachi Vargas.
What has your first year as music director been like?
Actually, very complicated [he laughs]. Logistically, I've always been based out of Guadalajara, while Mariachi Vargas is based in Mexico City. So that has been hard on me. Musically, Mariachi Vargas performs often with symphonies, which is another level of difficulty when performing. There are lots of moving parts [laughs].
Mariachi Vargas has introduced many songs into the repertoire; do you have a favorite?
"Son de la Negra" [often called "La Negra" and written by Rubén Fuentes] because it's very important to our history and to mariachi music in general, so it must be a part of every show. It's so well-known, almost every mariachi group will play it in concert.
What else can your Chicago fans expect to hear at Symphony Center?
We will perform songs from our latest album, titled "16 Razones Para Cortarse Las Venas" ["16 Reasons to Cut Your Veins" — that is, songs of heartbreak]. It includes songs like "Se Me Hizo Fácil" and "Por Tu Maldito Amor," which were popularized by [ranchera music icon] Vicente Fernandez.
And of course songs by Rubén Fuentes. How is he doing?
He's doing well. Although he's almost 90, in many ways, he's the youngster of the group. After a long recording session, when everyone's dragging, he will challenge us to keep up. He can go a whole week like that. He has amazing energy.
Last year brought the death of Miguel Martinez, a member of Mariachi Vargas in the '50s and a pivotal figure in introducing the trumpet to mariachi. Did you ever work with him?
No, but he was a very important musician in our history. [They were not related.] He died on Dec. 5, which happened to be the [61st] anniversary of the death of Jorge Negrete, Don Miguel's favorite singer. They were close friends, and he had performed with him during his years in Mariachi Vargas. After watching two Negrete movies on television [in which he appeared with the singer], Don Miguel died of a massive heart attack at age 93.
Speaking of Jorge Negrete, he's one of the many legendary singers Mariachi Vargas has accompanied over its long career. Who else would you like to collaborate with?
It would be great to perform with Vicente Fernandez [who retired from the stage in 2013], and of course, El Último, Juan Gabriel [with whom Mariachi Vargas has recorded and appeared in concert over the years]. But we're doing our second disc with [Latin pop superstar] Luis Miguel. It's a follow-up to the 2004 album "Mexico en la Piel." Among the younger artists, he has really done much to bring mariachi to new generations.
Very few popular music forms have endured for more than a century. How does mariachi continue to thrive?
It's music that is close to the heart and soul, especially the compositions of José Alfredo Jiménez [widely regarded as the most important composer of ranchera music in the 20th century]. Mariachi has gained respect not just in Mexico but also in the United States, South America and all over the world. It all goes back to great writers. Most important is how the music was written. True emotion is what resonates with people. Mariachi is part of every stage of existence, from birthdays to weddings to funerals. In essence, it is the music of one's life.
Note: A pre-concert performance from 2:15-2:45 p.m. in Symphony Center's first floor rotunda will feature students from the Chicago Mariachi Project's Mariachi Academy.

Apparently, it took some time for me to warm up to the idea of being a daddy's girl, but Dad hung in there. I'm told ice cream on demand helped.
To all the dads who hang in there, keep up the good work. It pays off. Long after you're gone, it pays off.

SACRAMENTO — Federal judges in all four California districts reinforced federal drug laws outlawing marijuana by dismissing lawsuits advocating for medical marijuana dispensaries, the U.S. Department of Justice reported today.
Medical marijuana supporters sought to stop the federal government from prosecuting them but the judges upheld the Controlled Substances Act that lists the drug as illegal, said spokeswoman Lauren Horwood of the DOJ.
In the Eastern District of California that encompasses Butte County and 33 others, U.S. District Court Judge Garland Burrell Jr. dismissed a lawsuit Feb. 28 filed by the Sacramento Nonprofit Collective doing business as El Camino Wellness Center and Ryan Landers.

Hey I was hoping some one could help me, by sending me a link to a template promissory note, and a template coving letter that goes with it. I've tried downloading them from the links on this site but none of the links work anymore unfortunetly.
Be carefull sending a promissory note because its an acknowlegement of the debt and a promise to pay it . A prom note is not a payment but is a binding promise to pay the debt when the crediter demands payment. So if you dont' have the means to pay it when the crediter calls in the prom note, you might find yourself in a hole.
thanks for the advise but dont worrie I have researched the subject and have more research to do, and I'm not going to do anything till I'm completely sure about it.

When to get certain heavy vehicles tested if they stopped being exempt from testing on 20 May 2018, records to keep, and safety inspections that must be done.
Some heavy vehicles (based on a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) chassis) stopped being exempt from needing an annual test on 20 May 2018.
For some of these vehicles, you have up until the date your vehicle tax renewal is due to get it tested for the first time. This is known as the 'phased approach'.
However, other vehicles need to have an annual test certificate from 20 May 2018.
The vehicle must pass an annual test before its next vehicle tax renewal is due.
The safety inspection must follow the guidance in the guide to maintaining roadworthiness.
The vehicle must always be safe to drive (roadworthy) .
Enforcement action can be taken if the vehicle is not in a roadworthy condition.

UN says more than 130 countries will sign climate agreement April 22
By Edith M. Lederer The Associated Press
Posted April 7, 2016 4:51 pm
World leaders celebrating after reaching a climate agreement on December 12, 2015, in Paris.	 STRNEWZ
A record number of more than 130 countries will sign the landmark agreement to tackle climate change at a ceremony at U.N. headquarters on April 22, the United Nations said Thursday.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is hosting the signing ceremony on the first day that the agreement reached in Paris in December opens for signature.
The U.N. chief, French President Francois Hollande and French Environment Minister Segolene Royal, who is in charge of global climate negotiations, have invited leaders from all 193 U.N. member states to the event.

The U.N. said signatures from over 130 countries, including more than 60 heads of state and government, would surpass the previous record of 119 signatures on the opening day for signing an international agreement. That record is held by the opening day signing of the Law of the Sea treaty in 1994.
The U.N. stressed that the signing ceremony is the first step in ensuring that the agreement enters into force as soon as possible. It will take effect 30 days after at least 55 countries, accounting for 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, deposit their instruments of ratification or acceptance with the secretary-general.
A number of countries have indicated that they will deposit their instruments of ratification immediately after signing the agreement, the U.N. said.

"Paris was historic," Ban said in a statement. "But it's only the beginning. We must urgently accelerate our efforts to tackle climate change."
The agreement sets a collective goal of keeping global warming below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial times, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Maarten Heijkamp's first exhibition at Galerie de Witte Voet aims to introduce the viewer to the intensive four-year long period of transitioning his work from photography into ceramics.
Since graduating from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, Maarten Heijkamp has been creating monumental photographic works using self-built camera obscuras. In his workshop which has been converted into a camera obscura he makes staged compositions. To photograph objects on location, he converts available structures such as sheds or shipping containers into cameras. The method enables him to give the image a specific scale and to define the skin of the photograph. Sitting inside the camera he contemplates the projected image before fixing it onto paper. By exposing at night and in negative he forces himself to redefine the scene into a painterly concept.
Inspired by the ceramic surfaces of his father's work he decided to research parallels between ceramic glazes and the photographic emulsion. At the European Ceramic Work Centre, he developed a method to make photographic ceramic reliefs inside a camera obscura. That research was awarded with a prestigious prize at the Gyeonggi Biennale in South Korea.
At his studio he further evolves his newly acquired photographic ceramic vocabulary. Whereas the translation of the projection inside the camera onto wet clay started out by engraving by hand, he subsequently developed the Photographic Hammer; a device that engraves the projected image into clay using light sensors and pneumatic actuators. The first prototype of the Photographic Hammer was moved by hand over the ceramic surface in the darkness of the camera, a very slow and noisy process. The intensity of this method forced him to focus on every single indentation the hammer makes in the clay, ploughing the surface like a farmer ploughs the land, slowly becoming part of the machine.
Looking towards integrating the new works into architecture, for example as facades, he decided to scale up the method. His studio in Zaandam is converted into a large format camera in which the projection is translated into ceramics using a combination of high tech CNC and light sensors with traditional ceramics and optics. Now it's possible to create photographic ceramic reliefs up to 3x4 meter, but more importantly, the research of the past years has led him to the point where the ceramic works can use the specific scale and materiality that his photographic works on paper do.
The works on show in de Witte Voet tell a story of trial and error, perseverance, but most of all a deep fascination for the representation of one material by the other.

The 2014 United States Senate election in North Carolina took place on November 4, 2014, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of North Carolina, concurrently with other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. On May 6, 2014, the primary took place.

Incumbent Democratic Senator Kay Hagan ran for re-election to a second term in office. She faced Republican Thom Tillis, the Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, and Libertarian Sean Haugh, his party's nominee for the U.S. Senate in 2002, in the general election. Tillis defeated Hagan by about 45,000 votes and a margin of 1.6%. This made the election the second-closest race of the 2014 Senate election cycle, behind only the election in Virginia.

Outside spending
In July 2014, Jim Morrill of The Charlotte Observer calculated that as of the end of June, more than $26 million had been spent by outside advocacy groups on the election, with $17 million of it attacking Hagan or supporting Tillis and less than $9 million supporting Hagan or attacking Tillis. By contrast, outside groups spent $25 million during the entire 2008 election. He reported that only $11.4 million had been reported to the FEC, with the rest of the "dark money" coming from groups that did not have to disclose their donors. 27% of the money spent supporting Tillis came from groups required to disclose their donors whereas 69% of the money supporting Hagan did so.

OpenSecrets placed the final cost of outside spending at $8.5 million for Hagan and $35.5 million attacking Tillis, and $13.7 million for Tillis and $20.9 million attacking Hagan, placing the totals by candidate at $44 million for Hagan, and $34.6 million for Tillis.

Debates
Three televised debates between the candidates were held: the first on September 3 moderated by Norah O'Donnell of CBS, the second on October 7 moderated by George Stephanopoulos of ABC, and the third (the only one to feature Sean Haugh) on October 9 moderated by Jon Evans of WECT-TV.

Video of the first debate is available here, with the second here and the third here.

The winner of the Global Kiwis Young Achiever Award is Hayley Westenra, a 20 year old, New Zealand soprano who has been a singing sensation since first releasing an album at 16 years of age. Her debut album Pure, reached number one in the UK classical charts in 2003, making her the fastest-selling debut classical artist of all time.
The award was established to recognise a young Kiwi under the age of 35, at the start of their career, who has made remarkable achievements in their field of endeavour in the UK achieving recognition on at least a national scale if not on a European or global scale.
NZ Society incoming president Helen Campbell said Westenra's name was synonymous with New Zealand and she is recognised as one of the most exciting young voices globally.
``Hayley has participated in significant New Zealand sporting and cultural events here in the UK and on the international stage and we are delighted to have such a worthy young achiever of this new award."
The award will be presented at the annual New Zealand Society's Waitangi Day Dinner at the Drapers' Hall in London on February 8.
At 20 year old, New Zealand soprano who has been a singing sensation since first releasing an album at 16 years of age. Her first album Pure, reached number one in the UK classical charts in 2003, making her the fastest-selling debut classical artist of all time. It is also the best selling classical album of the 21st Century and to date, Hayley has sold 4 million albums worldwide. Last year, Hayley released her third album in which she interprets the traditional songs of New Zealand and Ireland.
Hayley has performed for dignitaries around the world, including the Queen (three times in one week!) and sang at the dedication of the New Zealand Memorial in London in 2006. She is one of the youngest UNICEF ambassadors, is involved in the Women's Environmental Network and regularly sings the national anthem at All Black matches in the northern hemisphere.

It is also the best selling classical album of the 21st Century and to date, Hayley has sold 4 million albums worldwide.
Already 4000000 copies sold! Another milestone it is!

Hi Stephany
Incidentally, this is the first time we've heard worldwide album sales quoted as'four million'. Do we know if this is an official figure?

Hello Grant and everybody!
I expect the four million sales quoted is an estimate of the total sales of all Hayley's albums worldwide, and it's probably a pretty good guess.

A big metropolis with a small town feel, Boston buzzes with an intimate energy.

The classic American road trip awaits, search for your car rental with easyCar to get your trip started.
Boston is one of the oldest cities in the USA. It's situated on the east coast, and is the capital of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England.
Boston is known for its walking trails and can also be explored on a trolley tour or a riverboat cruise. However, to really see New England, hire a car. This area of the USA is famous for its scenery and is particularly beautiful in the autumn. Use your hire car to drive through the countryside, head for the coast or to visit other cities and towns near Boston.
Boston – The City
Boston is an attractive city and is divided into 21 neighbourhoods, which include South Boston, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Dorchester and Cambridge. It's steeped in history and this is reflected in its architecture. Historic buildings include the Old State House, Old City Hall and Trinity Church.
There are a number of walking trails that you can follow in Boston, the best-known of which is the Freedom Trail. Learn about the history of Boston and the American Revolution on this 2.5km tour, which will take you past 16 of the city's key sites, including the site of the Boston Massacre, Faneuil Hall and Bunker Hill Monument.

You can also use your rental car to get to Salem, which is about 30 minutes' drive from Boston.

Park your hire car and learn more about the trials in the Salem Witch Museum, explore the New England Pirate Museum and take a tour of the House of the Seven Gables, which was made famous by Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel.

Scarlat Struțeanu () a fost un estetician, critic și istoric literar român.

Biografie
S-a născut la București, ca fiu al funcționarului de origine germană Alexandru Strauss-Struțeanu, și al soției sale, Olimpia (n. Bitowonsky), care avea origine poloneză. Tatăl lui își schimbase numele din Strauss în Struțeanu și se trăgea dintr-un Joseph Strauss care a trăit prin secolul al XVIII-lea. Scarlat a urmat studii secundare la liceele "Sf. Sava" și "Gh. Lazăr" din București, iar, după absolvirea lor în 1912, a urmat o carieră militară meteorică pe care a încheiat-o cu gradul de căpitan. A studiat apoi la Facultatea de Litere și Filosofie a Universității din București, absolvind studiile de licență în 1919 și obținându-și doctoratul în filologie în 1924 cu teza Încercarea critică asupra comicului dramatic la Caragiale, elaborată sub coordonarea lui Mihail Dragomirescu. S-a căsătorit cu Fulvia (n. 1892), fiica lui Ioan Slavici.

După absolvirea facultății, a lucrat ca asistent al lui Mihail Dragomirescu (1919-1927) la catedra de estetică a Universității din București și ca profesor la liceele "Mihai Viteazul" și "Sfântul Andrei" din București.

Activitatea publicistică
A colaborat la publicațiile Adevărul literar și artistic, Convorbiri literare, Flacăra, Letopiseți (pe care a fondat-o împreună cu Perpessicius și Dragoș Protopopescu), Mișcarea literară, Mugurul, Ramuri, Revista Fundațiilor Regale, Universul literar ș.a. A devenit membru al Societății Scriitorilor Români în 1923.

Struțeanu a semnat începând din noiembrie 1924 cronica literară din Mișcarea literară (condusă de Liviu Rebreanu), fiind însă o alegere "nefericită", potrivit criticului Zigu Ornea, deoarece făcea parte din anturajul lui Mihail Dragomirescu, ceea ce a determinat înlocuirea sa de la nr. 15 al revistei cu Ion Marin Sadoveanu și apoi de la nr. 20 cu Perpessicius. A urmat apoi o direcție critică istoricistă și comparatistă, opusă direcției metafizice a lui Dragomirescu.

A publicat câteva lucrări de estetică și de critică literară (Încercare critică asupra comicului dramatic la Caragiale, 1924; Teoria imitațiunii și a clarului confuz în estetică, 1925; Istoria națională romanțată în opera lui Al. Odobescu, 1936) și a îngrijit ediții din scrierile lui Ioan Slavici (Nuvele. Comentarii asupra omului și operei, 1930), Alexandru Odobescu (Opere literare, 1938), I. L. Caragiale (Opere alese, I-II, 1940) și Petre Ispirescu (Legendele sau basmele românilor, 1942). Ediția scrierilor lui Odobescu era considerată de George Călinescu a fi "foarte puțin critică". Intenționa să elaboreze un studiu asupra "supraviețuirii cultului lui Zalmoxis în poezia noastră poporană".

Criticul Eugen Lovinescu îl considera pe Scarlat Struțeanu un "simbol al necinstei profesionale și al lipsei de constrângere în fața evidenței", deoarece într-o cronică literară din 1921 a atribuit schița "Legea progresului" de Gheorghe Brăescu lui I.L.

Though the Abolition Movement of the 19th Century had emancipated African Americans, lifting them from the shackles of slavery, they were still denied the basic civil rights. Discrimination based on colour and racial segregation was common in America, especially in its southern states, the traditional slave states of America before slavery was abolished by US President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
Years of struggle by African Americans to secure federal protection for their basic rights and to end the humiliating practice of segregation based on race led to the non-violent American Civil Rights Mass Movement in 1950s and 60s.
The long years of the movement saw series of non-violent protests, civil disobedience and boycotts and its culmination is seen in Martin Luther King's 'March on Washington' on August 28, 1963 when he delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech demanding justice and equality for African Americans.
As a result of the American Civil Rights Movement, the US government passed a series of legislation during 1960s, i.e., Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965 and Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), which effectively ended the discriminatory practises based on colour and the racial segregation of public facilities in the years ahead.

I migliori episodi della serie Resident Evil
Resident Evil Village 23 Ottobre 2022
Resident Evil is a tough series to create a list for. At times horrifying, frustrating, and drenched in camp in equal measure, the series is so prolific that you can find both genre-defining masterpieces and forgettable misfires sporting the RE name. It's a series so foundational to the growth of video games and we as gamers that quirks some may find charming and nostalgic can make certain titles simply painful for the rest of the fanbase. But make no mistake about it, the joy of working in volume is that there's a Resident Evil game for everyone. So with that said, here's our list of the 10 best Resident Evil games.
For our criteria, we took into account our overall opinion on the quality of the games, the ease of access to play them today, and their importance to the video game industry overall.
10. Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil has always struggled with multiplayer. Many entries have tried, but few have succeeded. Resident Evil 5 took the series further away from its horror roots and deeper into the action genre, but it did so with a remarkable co-op campaign. Assuming you are playing with a friend and not the terrible AI, there was a lot of fun to be had machine-gunning and boulder-punching your way through this ridiculous campaign. While we wouldn't recommend it as a traditional Resident Evil experience, it's still a fantastic time with a buddy. -- Tate Fiebing
9. Resident Evil 4 VR
Resident Evil 4 is one of the most important games in history. And it is also one of the most ported games in the series. While Resident Evil 4 VR is still the same RE4 game that came out back in 2005, it deserves a spot on this list because of the new (albeit VR-exclusive) additions it brings to the table.
Resident Evil 4 VR excels in the medium even though it was never meant for it. While RE4 was not inherently a scary game, the VR variant adds a level of tension and suspense you would otherwise not get in the non-VR versions. With so many different play options to accommodate various VR play styles and the fact you can do things such as dual-wield two weapons, shoot two-handed weapons with one, or actually move and not stay in one place are some welcome changes that made exploring RE4 in virtual reality a true breath of fresh air.
Resident Evil 4 VR has been rebuilt from the ground up and plays almost like a completely new game. Even if it is missing the Separate Ways story mode, the addition of Mercenaries Mode and unlockable weapons and items (including the classic Chicago Typewriter) in a post-launch update has increased the value of RE 4 VR and helped strengthen the case that it's one of the best RE4 ports yet. -- Taylor Lyles
8. Resident Evil
While the original Resident Evil may not be the prettiest, most intuitive, or even the best version of Resident Evil, it's undeniable how important the original title is not only to Resident Evil as a series but also to survival horror games as a whole. From its unintentionally campy dialogue, so-bad-it's-good voice acting, and offbeat but iconic score, the original Resident Evil is one of those must-play titles that still holds up well against its various remakes, remasters, and sequels.
The graphics might be hard to look at when compared to the GameCube remake, and there are definitely areas of its short campaign that can be a bit of a hassle. But its overall charm and extremely campy presentation make playing this not only an itchy and tasty experience, but a memorable journey into the roots of one of the most prolific survival horror franchises. -- Nick Maillet
7. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis remains one of the most unique games in the series. It introduced many new gameplay elements that would shape the series moving forward. RE3 was the first game with ammo crafting, a mechanic that would continue to be expanded upon throughout the series. It also explored branching story paths with quick time events that forced players to choose between different options, making each playthrough feel unique.
However, its crowning achievement was the introduction of Nemesis, perhaps the most revered enemy in the entire series. The stalker enemy has seen many forms throughout the years, but Nemesis remains a fan favorite due to his incredible design and persistence throughout RE3. -- Tate Fiebing
6. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
How do you reinvent a franchise that has already been reinvented several times before, all while retaining the core ideologies of what made it so great to begin with? Well, you do what games like Metroid, Fallout, and Warhammer did before it: You jump to first person! Resident Evil VII brought the series' signature survival horror framework to a new perspective and lost shockingly little along the way.
Sure, the third act is a bit lackluster and the enemy variety is slim, but otherwise, Resident Evil VII's setting, characters, puzzles, resource management, and story are just as fun, campy, and creepy as some of the best games in the series. Oh, and if you've got a compatible VR headset sitting around, playing through the campaign like that makes for one of the most tense and terrifying experiences the franchise has ever offered. -- Brian Altano
5. Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village traded VII's claustrophobia, padded length, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-esque family for a healthy dose of action, camp, and a return to a setting reminiscent of Resident Evil 4. And while Lady D certainly dominated the marketing material and meme generation, she only occupies a fraction of the playtime. There's much more to Resident Evil Village, including House Beneviento (which stands among the scariest sequences in any Resident Evil game) and new archetypes of enemies (with gothic creatures such as werewolves and vampires replacing zombies).
With charismatic villains, an eminently replayable story, great action, and stellar locations, the most recent Resident Evil game proves this series is anything but a shambling corpse. -- Ronny Barrier
4. Resident Evil 2
The original Resident Evil remains one of the most important games in history. But Resident Evil 2 is just as, if not more, important than its predecessor. The original Resident Evil 2 established a lot of precedents that have come to be expected in a typical Resident Evil formula. That includes playing the main campaign with multiple characters from branching paths who have their own story that made those experiences stand out (and added increased replayability along the way).
While the remake is just as good and arguably the more accessible (and approachable) way to experience Leon and Claire's hellish night in Raccoon City, the original Resident Evil 2 still offers a lot of distinction, charm, and fear that deserves to be experienced at least once in your lifetime. -- Taylor Lyles
3. Resident Evil (Remake)
If there is one game in the series that perfected the tank control playstyle, it's 2002's remake of the original Resident Evil, the cream of the crop when it comes to an authentic Resident Evil experience before the shift to third and first-person perspectives.
Not only does the remake ditch the cheesiness found in the original game in favor of making it darker and more serious, but Resident Evil Remake also added plenty of new content that you otherwise would not experience in the original, such as the Lisa Trevor subplot. More importantly, the Resident Evil Remake takes a page from the handbook of the original Resident Evil 2 in making it a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you turn every corner, thanks to the atmosphere and ambiance of the Spencer Mansion along with the inclusion of a new enemy called Crimson Heads. -- Taylor Lyles
2. Resident Evil 2 Remake
While Resident Evil VII brought the series back to its horror roots, Resident Evil 2 Remake perfected it. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at and contains some of the series' best pacing to date. It modernizes all the best parts of classic Resident Evil games for newcomers, as RE2R is updated with many of the best features from the newer installments: ammo crafting, an over-the-shoulder camera, and expandable inventory slots. For series veterans, it feeds off your familiarity with the iconic RPD and circumvents expectations in unique and horrifying ways. It's designed with so much care and intent. Easter Eggs are sprinkled throughout the station, accompanied by so many updates that fit so perfectly it's easy to forget they weren't present in the original.
Of course, police officers would get between floors of the department with stairs instead of a ladder, like in the original. It also makes too much sense that a precinct this size would have bathrooms! Perhaps its best achievement was the organic way in which Mr. X chases you through the police station. The tension he creates is palpable, and his mechanics make for some of the series' best-unscripted scares that catch you off guard during exploration. His presence alone keeps additional playthroughs from getting repetitive and maintaining the horror. -- Tate Fiebing
The Resident Evil series has transitioned perspectives and genres a lot, but no single entry was as revolutionary of a jump as Resident Evil 4. Evolving the Resident Evil games from locked camera angle survival horror games with tank controls to a third-person survival horror action game was nothing short of brilliant. Resident Evil 4 was and still is an absolutely incredible, near-perfect video game. The campaign is massive and packed with gigantic bosses, epic setpieces, and locales, matched only by the precision-perfect gameplay that gives the player a ton of weapons and actions to utilize against hordes of horrible enemies.
There was really nothing like it at the time and it not only changed the course of survival horror games forever, it also inspired the third-person action game genre - and eventually, Resident Evil Village. Modern players approaching it for the first time today might be slightly put off by its lack of run-and-gun gameplay, but if they can adapt to the stop-and-shoot (and kick, grenade, knife, and suplex) style of action, they'll be rewarded with one of the greatest single player campaigns to ever grace a video game. -- Brian Altano


A tough and reliable fleet of trucks is critical to providing our customers with exceptional service. Wherever possible, Emterra works with community partners to identify appropriate green technologies to reduce emissions and protect air quality while providing the same top quality collection services that our customers have come to expect. Emterra also went a step further by choosing green technology to reduce our emissions and protect air quality.
In the Region of Niagara, Ontario, our fleet of 70 trucks has been running on biodiesel since 2011. Biodiesel is a biodegradable, clean-burning fuel that replaces traditional diesel. It can be made from renewable sources such as canola, soybeans, animal fats, other natural oils, and greases. According to the National Biodiesel Board it's less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar!
Our decision to use biodiesel for the entire fleet is driven by a strong commitment to creating green jobs, improving our environment and working with our partners to achieve new standards in environmentally sound waste and recycling collection services.
Industry analysts suggest that for every gallon of biodiesel used, trucks may reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 75%.
Thinking about a truck that consumes a weekly average of about 80 gallons of fuel, we calculate that this single vehicle could reduce its CO2 emissions by nearly 8 tons per year using biodiesel fuel instead of diesel.
When you consider that the average tree removes about 1 ton of CO2 per year* it means that keeping just 25 biodiesel trucks in regular service can free up nearly 200 trees to scrub out CO2 from other sources to help reduce greenhouse gases. Multiply that by an entire fleet and it's easy to see why we're excited about the impact of Emterra's biodiesel vehicles.
In 2012, Emterra made the bold commitment to use compressed natural gas trucks in our operations in Winnipeg, Manitoba. With nearly 60 natural gas-powered, heavy duty waste and recycling trucks in operation, Emterra Environmental set a new standard in green fleet management.
These trucks are cutting greenhouse gas emissions by about 20% compared to traditional diesel waste vehicles, according to the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance. After five years of service, 2,400 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide and pollutants will be prevented!
Not only is the compressed natural gas fleet reducing carbon emissions, it's also quieter than diesel trucks. This allows us to provide quality service to our customers without noise pollution!
Our fleet in Winnipeg has gained widespread recognition for being largest green solid waste fleet in Canada and also the largest cold climate compressed natural gas fleet in the world.

lost in transmutation
(originally posted 3/9/2014)
If people hibernated then I'm sure there would be a medical term for what Greg had but as Greg was a frog and people don't hibernate I'll just have to describe it as best I can.
Disappointed in the name Greg for a frog? Expecting him to be called something whimsical like Gribbit?
Be reasonable. First of all, there are literally millions and millions of frogs and they can't have all names that are whimsical. Second, if you take a moment to examine the existence of a frog you'll find a decided lack of whimsy in their lives. Granted they start off as tadpoles and it's tough to top that if you're looking for whimsy, what with the tail and the swimming around and all, but eventually the tail departs, to be replaced by legs, as they move from an aquatic lifestyle to a more half and half land approach, and after that they are strictly business.
So, the condition Greg was afflicted with …
Although perhaps the word afflicted is a bit harsh. While it did drive him a bit mad, it could be argued that the thoughts that run through the heads of both people and frogs are really the only proof that we exist at all and thus this so-called "affliction" added at least thirty five to forty percent to Greg's existence.
His condition was this: while all of his amphibious comrades slipped deep into the mud and went to sleep for the winter months, Greg slipped into the mud and was awake the entire time.
A bit of a mixed blessing.
It made him a very odd frog when he eventually popped out of the mud and rejoined his brethren but nobody could argue that he wasn't a pretty bright frog. He'd had plenty of time to think through some issues that in the course of a typical frog year most frogs didn't have time to mull over. Frogs seem to be on the menu for almost every animal out and about in the warmer months so much of their time is spent hopping for their lives and trying to squeeze in a few worms and flies when the opportunities present themselves. Buried safely in the mud allowed Greg some peace and quiet his slimy pals didn't have available to them.
I realize at this juncture that you might be guilty of anthropomorphizing Greg to such a degree that you have him inventing things and walking erect and such but let me slow your roll a bit and remind you that he was still a frog. A really smart frog is still not as smart as really dumb raccoon and I've yet to be walking through a wooded area and see a small raccoon factory belching out black smoke and producing tiny wheelbarrows or raccoon footwear.
You're still probably dizzy with the earlier whimsy of tadpole imagery and thinking this story is destined to end up a Disney flick.
Let's try to collect ourselves and get back to Greg shall we?
For although nothing about his condition indicated that he would end up the beloved star of an animated movie, Greg had seen some things that no other frog, that he was aware of, had seen.
Snow for starters.
Every few years the ground would warm up noticeably and he would slither up topside while the rest of his frog compatriots slept blissfully unaware that there was a break in the cold action. Greg would emerge and see the grey skies and naked trees of winter but the temperature made it safe to sluggishly move around.
And while sluggishly moving around, he would occasionally see lumps of this white stuff he'd never seen before. When he got closer he could feel the chill radiating off it. Being a very wise frog he knew not to get too close because there were still hawks flying around and they could, whether it would make sense to them at the time or not, see a green frog against a white background from miles away.
The first time he'd seen it he couldn't wait to report back to all the other frogs but the following spring, when he told them of his discovery, they laughed and croaked derisive things about him so he never said another word about it.
So seasons came and went and Greg spent his winter months deep in mud and thought while simultaneously trying not to go out of his mind.
Then one December the temperatures suddenly shot up and he emerged to find the air temperature similar to a typical spring day. His blood started to flow more quickly and he made short work of exploring the frog-less world around him.
Or so he thought anyway.
For there, sitting on a section of pond still covered in ice, was another frog.
A young lady frog.
And quite a looker. Legs that went on for days. He thought he remembered her name was Amy and she had just lost her tail the previous spring.
Almost on queue he saw a hawk high above them take notice of her and he leapt into action. Please note that the fact that Greg was a frog and he happened to be leaping into action was entirely accidental and one of the more pleasant side-effects of not knowing what the next word in the story might be until it's typed.
He let out a well-timed croak and Amy was able to slip safely into the chilly water and make her escape. Moments later she slowly crawled up to Greg to croak back her thanks. Greg could think of no better way to get introduced to a female and felt his confidence grow with each suave observation he made about their winter environment. She took it all in like an eager student. They spent two solid days above ground before the temperatures started to sink again and signaled it was time to once again slide deep into the earth and wait things out.
Two magical days.
Amy was just happy to know that she wasn't the only frog who couldn't get to sleep.
Greg found himself appreciating probability and circumstances more than he could ever remember.
It was the first time he could remember burrowing where he was already anticipating the trip back topside. His heart was fluttering away, remembering sliding up to Amy just before they went their separate ways. If ever a frog felt debonair it was then. Their enormous eyes almost touching. Whispering to her and hoping that she understood.
"I have to be leaving … but I won't let that come between us, okay?"

Q: Export .csv file (with headers) from PostgreSQL table using PHP PDO, first data row missing sorry for the probably pretty easy question but I'm very new to PHP and SQL in general.
I'm trying to export a CSV file form a PostgreSQL table using PHP PDO. Everything is working fine a part from the missing first data row.
This is my code:
<?php

function bb()
{
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "postgres";
$password = "mypassword";
$dbname = "mydb";

$conn = new PDO("pgsql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM foundation");
$stmt->execute();

$filename = 'test_postgres.csv';

header('Content-type: application/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: UTF-8");

$head = fopen($filename, 'w');

$headers = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
fputcsv($head, array_keys($headers));

fclose($head);

$data = fopen($filename, 'a');

    while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
        fputcsv($data, $row);
    }

fclose($data);
}

bb();

?>

This is what I should have:

while this is what I can see:

I think I'm writing the headers in place of the first data row but I cannot find a way to avoid this issue. Any idea?
Thanks, Stefano.

A: The problem is that when you read the row for the header, that is the first row of the data, so you need to write the data from here to the data file as well...
$headers = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
fputcsv($head, array_keys($headers));

fclose($head);

$data = fopen($filename, 'a');
fputcsv($data, $headers);  // This adds the data from the header row

    while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
        fputcsv($data, $row);
    }


"I first worked with All For Love Ltd at Chiswick House back in 2015 on a number of incredible client weddings and events. From the first time I met Ruth and her team at All For Love, saw the way they operated and the floral masterpieces they produced I just knew we would have a long standing relationship!
I work with many flower suppliers across the events industry, but All For Love are by far the most thoughtful, creative and consistent I have ever worked with. As a result, I asked All For London to create my wedding flowers, there was only word to describe what they did… WOW!
All for Love, allowed me to bring to life my fantasy wedding, and for that I will be eternally grateful. I have worked with All for London for many years and know this will continue for many years to come, it has been a dream to watch them grow from strength to strength.

Ukrainian Railways Employees Caught Mining Bitcoin Using State Electricity
Cryptocurrencies mining requires a huge amount of power. And since it has become increasingly harder to mine, the cost can be just be too high.
As a solution to this, branch employees of the Ukrainian Railways in the western city of Lviv have been secretly using the power from Ukrzaliznytsia, the country's state-owned rail transport provider, to operate a Bitcoin mining farm.
The mine was set up in the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil, according to Yevhen Kravtsov, the CEO of Ukrzaliznytsia.
The farm had more than 100 mining equipment, which stole electricity from the power grid of Ukrzaliznytsia, by bypassing the electricity meter in the building, making the energy-intensive process of mining virtually free for the culprits.
This mining operation was said to have cost Ukrzaliznytsia more than $40,000 in electricity bill.
Credit: Ukrainian Railways
According to the statement on Ukrzaliznytsia's website:
"During the inspection of the premises where the so-called farm was located, more than 100 pieces of computer equipment were identified that were generating Bitcoins. The aforementioned equipment was connected to the Ukrzaliznytsia power grid. The estimated amount of losses since the beginning of the year is 1 million hryvnias [$40,000]."
The surreptitious cryptocurrency mining operation was reported by Oleg Nazaruk, the company's director of the department of economic and information security, and the verification materials were sent to the Ternopil Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Ternopil Oblast.
In its notice, Ukrzaliznytsia highlighted that devising and circulating cryptocurrency is prohibited by the country's central bank.
The use of cryptocurrencies is not allowed in Ukraine, but mining is under-regulated and remains more attractive than in most European countries, due to the fact that Ukraine has cheaper electricity costs.
As a result, many illegal miners have made a home in the country, despite the government prohibited them from operating.
In the week preceding the cryptomining bust, the volume of Bitcoins traded in Ukraine was over $340,000, according to Coin Dance, a community-driven Bitcoin statistics and services. The annual revenue generated by the Ukrainian cryptocurrency mining industry amounts to over $100 million, according to Bitcoin.com.
Previously, it was reported that an individual with high-level access to parts of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant placed mining machines at one of its administrative buildings and powered the machines by stealing electricity from the local grid.
Ukraine has been working on bringing in comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance was said to be assisting Ukraine with developing rules for the industry.
