\section{Introduction}
Complex networks have attracted an increasing interest recently.
The main reason is that they play an important role in the
understanding of complex behaviors in real world networks \cite
{Strogatz, Barabasi_1, Dorogovtsev, Newman_0}, including the
structure of language \cite {Cancho, Sigman}, scientific
collaboration networks \cite {Newman_1, Barabasi_2}, the Internet
\cite {Albert, Huberman_1} and World Wide Web \cite {Huberman_2,
Caldarelli}, power grids \cite {Amaral}, food webs \cite {McCann,
Williams}, chemical reaction networks \cite {Alon}, metabolic
\cite {Jeong_1} and protein networks \cite {Jeong_2}, etc. The
highly heterogeneous topology of these networks is mainly
reflected in two characters, the small average path lengths among
any two nodes (small-world property) \cite {Watts_1} and a power
law distribution (scale-free property), $P(k)\sim k^{- \gamma}$
with $2 \leq \gamma \leq 3$, for the probability that any node has
$k$ connections to other nodes \cite {Barabasi_3}.

Most of these networks that have been studied in the physics
literature have been binary in nature; that is, the edges between
vertices are either present or not.  Such networks can be
represented by $(0,1)$ or binary matrices.  A network with $N$
vertices is represented by an $N \times N$ adjacency matrix
\textbf{W} with elements
\begin{equation}
w_{ij}=\biggl\lbrace
\begin{array}{ll}
1 & \quad \mbox{if $i$ and $j$ are connected,}\\
0 & \quad \mbox{otherwise.}
\end{array}\tag{1}\label{eq1}
\end{equation}
However, many networks are intrinsically weighted, their edges
having differing strengths. In a social network there may be
stronger or weaker social ties between individuals.  In a
metabolic network there may be more or less flux along particular
reaction pathways.  In a food web there may be more or less energy
or carbon flow between predator-prey pairs.  Edge weights in
networks have received relatively little attention in the physics
literature for the excellent reason that in any field one is well
advised to look at the simple cases first (unweighted networks)
before moving on to more complex ones (weighted networks).

On the other hand, there are many cases where edge weights are
known for networks, and to ignore them is to throw out a lot of
data that, in theory at least, could help us to understand these
systems better. Recently some weighted network models are
proposed. In Ref. \cite {Yook}, a weighted network model was
presented, in which both the structure and the connection weights
are driven by the connectivity according to the preferential
attachment rule. In Ref. \cite {Zheng}, a weighted evolving
network model with stochastic weight assignments was suggested. In
Ref. \cite {Barrat_1}, it was also found that the strengths of
nodes in complex networks obey a power-law distribution. In Ref.
\cite{Park}, a weighted network was introduced to account for
possible distinct functional roles played by different nodes and
links in complex networks by utilizing the concept of betweenness.

It should be noted that, most of these existing weighted network
models are driven entirely by the preferential attachment scheme
in structure and the preferential strengthening scheme in
connection weights. In this paper, we will introduce a class of
weight to two prototype complex networks, the Watts-Strogatz (WS)
model and the Barab\'{a}si-Albert (BA) model, considering link
weights depending on the \lq\lq popularity\rq\rq of the nodes
represented by their connectivity. We shall show that the two
weighted networks, weighted WS (WWS) and weighted BA (WBA), have
broad distributions on characterization their structures and new
results of the spread of infectious diseases.

\section{The model}
In real systems, a link's weight reflect the familiarity between
two nodes, which can be regarded as the combination of the nodes'
\lq\lq popularity\rq\rq. For example, in the airport network, each
given weight $w_{ij}$ is the number of available seats on direct
flight connections between the airports $i$ and $j$; in the
scientific collaboration network, the nodes are identified with
authors and the weight depends on the number of coauthored papers.
Based on this simple mechanism, we will assign weights to links in
two prototype complex networks, the WS and BA graphs. The two
models, which reveal the small-world and scale-free properties
respectively, have become the most popular models to be used to
study the statistics of many real networks and explore the
dynamics on the network structures.

\emph{WS graph}: Starting with a ring of $N$ vertices, each
connected to its $2K$ nearest neighbors by undirected edges, and
then each local link is visited once with the rewiring probability
$p$ it is removed and reconnected to a randomly chosen node.
Duplicate and self-connected edges are forbidden. After the whole
sweep of the entire network, a small-world graph is constructed
with an average connectivity $\langle k \rangle = 2K$ (in the
present work we will consider the parameters $p=0.1$ and $K=5$).

\emph{BA graph}: Starting from a small number $m_{0}$ of nodes,
every time step a new vertex is added, with $m$ links that are
connected to an old node $i$ with probability
\begin{equation}
\Pi_{i}=\frac{k_{i}}{\sum_{j}k_{j}},\tag{2}\label{eq2}
\end{equation}
where $k_{i}$ is the connectivity of the $i$th node. After
iterating this scheme a sufficient number of times, we obtain a
network composed by $N$ nodes with connectivity distribution $P(k)
\sim k^{-3}$ and average connectivity $\langle k \rangle =2m$ (in
the present work we will consider the parameters $m_{0}=m=3$).

After the networks have been constructed, we shall define the
weight $w$ of a link between nodes $i$ and $j$ in the network to
be the product of endpoint node degrees
\begin{equation}
w_{ij}=\biggl\lbrace
\begin{array}{ll}
(k_{i}k_{j})^{\theta} & \quad \mbox{if $i$ and $j$ are connected,}\\
0 & \quad \mbox{otherwise}
\end{array}\tag{3}\label{eq3}
\end{equation}
where $\theta$ is a positive constant. In contrast to adding
weights to links during networks being constructed, we only
consider weights depending on the nodes connectivity.

\section{Structural properties}
The standard topological characterization of networks is obtained
by the analysis of the probability distribution $P(k)$ that a
vertex has degree $k$. Similarly, the first topological
characterization of weights is obtained by the distribution
$P(w)$, which is defined as the probability that a randomly
selected link between two nodes has a weight value $w$. In Fig.
\ref{fig1}(a)-(b), we plot the cumulative distribution
$P(x>w/w_{max})$ on linear-log scale for WWS networks. The
cumulative distribution is defined as
\begin{equation}
P(>x)=\sum_{x^{\prime}=x}p(x^{\prime}).\tag{4}\label{eq4}
\end{equation}
The both distributions decay faster than an exponential decay
would. In Fig. \ref{fig1}(c)-(d), we plot the distribution
$P(w/w_{max})$ on log-log scale for WBA networks. Fig.
\ref{fig1}(c) shows a truncated power law behavior with the
apparent exponent $\alpha = -7.10 \pm 0.08$. Fig. \ref{fig1}(d)
shows a double power law behavior with the apparent exponent
$\alpha = -2.45 \pm 0.03$ (for small-$w$) and $\alpha = -3.08 \pm
0.06$ (for large-$w$).

Along with the degree of a node, a very significative measure of
the network in terms of the actual weights is obtained by looking
at the vertex strength $s_{i}$ defined as
\begin{equation}
s_{i}=\sum_{j \in U(i)}w_{ij}\tag{5}\label{eq5}
\end{equation}
where the sum runs over the set $U(i)$ of neighbors of $i$. The
strength of a node integrates the information both about its
connectivity and the importance of the weights of its links, and
can be considered as the natural generalization of the
connectivity. In Fig. \ref{fig2}(a)-(b), we plot the cumulative
distribution $P(x>s/s_{max})$ on linear-log scale for WWS
networks. The both distributions follow a roughly exponential
decay. In Fig. \ref{fig2}(c)-(d), we plot the distribution
$P(w/w_{max})$ on log-log scale for WBA networks. The both
distributions follow a power-law behavior with the apparent
exponent $\alpha = -2.66 \pm 0.02$ (Fig. \ref{fig2}(c)) and
$\alpha = -2.31 \pm 0.02$ (Fig. \ref{fig2}(d)).

The shortest path plays an important role for the transport within
a network \cite {Goh_1, Szabo}. A path denotes a sequence of
vertices, successive pairs of which are connected via edges. In
general there exist many paths connecting two given vertices. The
shortest path is the one with minimum path length among all the
paths. In weighted networks, the average shortest path length can
be defined as
\begin{equation}
L= \frac{2}{N(N-1)}\sum_{i,j}w_{i,j} \tag{6}\label{eq6}
\end{equation}
where $w_{i,j}$ is the the minimum value of the sum of weights
among all the paths between node $i$ and $j$. In Fig. \ref{fig3}
scaling average shortest path lengths of the weighted WS and
weighted BA networks are shown. The best linear fit in Fig.
\ref{fig3}(a) yields a slope $0.250 \pm 0.001$, which implies that
the behavior of the average shortest path length of the weighted
WS network remain invariable. Whereas, Fig. \ref{fig3}(b) yields
that the slope of the linear fit of the weighted BA network is
about $\langle k \rangle^{2\theta}$ times as that of the SF
network.

\section{Epidemic spreading}
In the study of complex networks, a good example is to inspect the
effect of their complex features on the dynamics of epidemic and
disease spreading. It is easy to foresee that the characterization
and understanding of epidemic dynamics on these networks can find
immediate applications to a large number of problems, such as
computer virus infections, distribution of wealth, transmission of
public opinion, etc. Recent papers \cite {Kuperman, Pastor,
Newman_3} have given some valuable insights of that: for
small-world networks, there is a critical threshold below which an
infection with a spreading rate dies out; on the contrary, for
scale-free networks, even an infection with a low spreading rate
will prevalence the entire population. However, so far, studies of
epidemic spreading just focus on unweighted networks, and a
detailed inspection of epidemic spreading in weighted networks is
missing.

To study the dynamics of infectious diseases spreading on weighted
networks, we shall study the standard \emph{susceptible-infected}
(SI) model \cite{Murray}. In this model individuals can only exist
in two different states: susceptible (or healthy) and infected.
The model can be described in terms of the densities of
susceptible and infected individuals, $s(t)$ and $i(t)$,
respectively, then $s(t)+i(t)=1$. Each individual is represented
by a vertex of the network and the links are the connections
between individuals along which the infection may spread. In
weighted networks, according to Ref. \cite {Yan}, the spreading
rate can be defined as
\begin{equation}
\lambda_{ij}=\frac{w_{ij}}{w_{max}}\tag{6}\label{eq6}
\end{equation}
at which susceptible individual $i$ acquire the infection from the
infected neighbor $j$, where $w_{max}$ is the largest value of
$w_{ij}$ in the network. In this model, infected individuals
remain always infective, an approximation that is useful to
describe early epidemic stages in which no control measures are
deployed.

We start simulations by selecting one vertex randomly and assuming
it is infected. The disease will spread in the network in
according with the rule of Eq. (\ref{eq6}). In Fig. \ref{fig4} we
plot the density of infected individuals versus time in both
weighted networks. Since $\frac{w_{ij}}{w_{max}} \leq 1$, the
smaller $\theta$ is, the more quickly the infection spreads. All
the individuals will be infected in the limit of long time as
$\lim_{t \rightarrow \infty}i(t)=1$. We will study the detail of
spreading velocity at the outbreak moment which is defined as
\begin{equation}
V_{inf}(t)=\frac{di(t)}{dt} \approx i(t)-i(t-1).\tag{7}\label{eq7}
\end{equation}
We account the number of newly infected vertices at each time step
and report the spreading velocity in Fig. \ref{fig5}. Apparently,
the spreading velocity goes up to a peak quickly and leave us very
short response time to develop control measures. At the moment of
infection outbreaks, the number of infected individuals is very
small, as well as a very long time from the outbreak, the number
of susceptible individuals is very small. Thus when $t$ is very
small (or large), the spreading velocity is close to zero.
Moreover, in contrast to trivial velocity decay for the WWS
network (see Fig. \ref{fig5}(a)), an exponential decay was found
for the WBA network (see Fig. \ref{fig5}(b)).

\section{Conclusions}
A more complete view of complex networks is provided by the study
of the interactions defining the links of the system. In real
systems, a link's weight reflect the familiarity between two
nodes, which can be regarded as the combination of the nodes'
\lq\lq popularity\rq\rq. Based on this simple mechanism, we study
two kinds of weighted networks, weighted small-world and weighted
scale-free, in which each link $ij$ in the network has an
associated weight $(k_{i}k_{j})^{\theta}$, where $k_{i}$ and
$k_{j}$ are the node degrees at the endpoint of the link $ij$. In
contrast to adding weights to links during networks being
constructed, we only consider weights depending on the \lq\lq
popularity\rq\rq of the nodes represented by their connectivity.
It was found that the both weighted networks have broad
distributions on characterization their link weights and vertex
strength, an exponential decay for the WWS network and a power law
behavior for the WBA network. The average shortest path length of
the WWS network remain invariable comparing with the WS network.
Whereas, the average shortest path length of the WBA network is
about $\langle k \rangle^{2\theta}$ times as that of the BA
network. Furthermore, as a survey of the model, we investigated
the spread of infectious diseases in both weighted networks based
on the standard SI model. The spreading velocity reaches a peak
very quickly after the infection outbreaks in both weighted
networks. Moreover, in contrast to trivial velocity decay for the
WWS network, an exponential decay was found for the WBA network.

As networks play an increasing role in the exploration of complex
systems, there is an imminent need to understand the interplay
between network dynamics and topology. We model the weights as
solely dependent on the topology, potentially overlooking
correlations among the weights themselves and the coupled
evolution in time. Recently, Barrat \emph{et al.} presented a
model \cite {Barrat_2} to study the dynamical evolution of weights
according to the topological variations, which is a good starting
point towards uncovering the role of such mechanisms.

This is one of those recipes that you can't really write a recipe for because it's all about what you have on hand.
Naturally, My Man would go with him as often as school would allow, and he remembers eating this. It is one of his favorite memories of his dad, and he asks for it a lot, especially on chilly fall days.
The original "recipe" was cooked in a big dutch oven over a campfire, so that probably added just a touch more flavour to it than cooking it on a stovetop.
Pasta - use whatever you have on hand. Poppa used elbow macaroni, and I usually do as well, but I have used other pasta shapes if elbow isn't on hand. Some that I have used are bows, penne, rigatoni and shells.All work great!
Cook the pasta according to pkg directions and drain well when done. Set aside.
Brown the meat in a dutch oven until no longer pink. I toss in a couple of chopped onions (1 is good if that's all you have), about a tablespoon (more or less) minced garlic and up to a cup of chopped celery, and 2 large carrots, grated.
When the onions and celery are softened, add the pasta to the meat/veggie mixture in the dutch oven.
Clean out your fridge of any leftover veggies or add whatever your family likes. My Man doesn't like a whole lot of veggies, so this is a recipe where I can sneak in whatever I can by grating them up. I have added grated zucchini, a bit of grated parsnip, etc. I add finely chopped green, red, orange and yellow peppers to the mix as well, if I have them in the fridge. My Man does like mushrooms, so I toss those in, canned if I don't have fresh. You can use whatever you have. Use up those partial bags of frozen mixed veggies if that's what you have.
Once you get all that mixed together, you can gauge how much tomato sauce you need to add to bind it all together. I use just regular tomato sauce. I have often run short of enough tomato sauce and have added a can of tomato soup, or a can of diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes - I have even added a bit of tomato juice if needed.
Again, mix all this together and then add whatever herbs you have. I add a couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce, basil, and oregano. If I have thyme, rosemary and tarragon, I use those. Add to your taste. I don't add salt or pepper, because My Man is on a salt restricted diet and he doesn't like pepper. I love pepper and so I just add it on my serving at the table.
Heat to bubbling and simmer, covered, until whatever veggies you added are cooked through.
I have been known to toss it all together in my roaster and pop it into the oven (325 degrees F) for a couple of hours, stirring often.
There you have it. Poppa J's Goulash. Add crusty rolls and a tossed salad for a hearty meal on a cold day!

The ball should not at any point remain constant and should always be in motion. Players use different parts of their bodies to kick the ball. The ultimate move is at the scoreline where a player bounces the ball or touches it on the line. At this point, it cannot be moved, and another round begins.
The game involves pushing the opponents using hips, chest, open hands, arms, and shoulders. It is therefore important to be strong enough to face the opponents. This game is not suitable for weaklings and having a well-built body is necessary. A lot of energy is also required since players push their opponents as they run with the ball. Having weak players increases the chances of losing to the opponents.
Penalties are attracted by breaking rules of the game. A player can evade these penalties since the regulations involved in this game are simple. There are certain parts of the body of the opponent a player should not touch. A player should not also run with the ball for so long without bouncing or touching it on the ground. Having many penalties pulls down a team's points and makes it prone to defeat.
This game requires a lot of teamwork. A player should not feel they should take all credit by themselves. Trying to be the hero of the game is likely to attract penalties for holding the ball for long. A player who does not value this virtue is not likely to be successful in this game.
Australian Rules in football requires regular training. It helps players identify their strengths and weaknesses. Players should always look forward to the exercises rather than putting them off. Training helps in preparing for the opponents by keeping the body active and less passive. There are new developments that are added to games now and then. One can only learn of them when they attend such training.
A healthy diet is important to players of the game. They require energy to keep them on the move. They also need building their bodies to remain fit for the game. Thus, a player should not overlook the important role played by a healthy diet. They should take enough food in a day, but be careful not to overfeed themselves.
The body loses a lot of water in the form of sweat when playing this game. Players should, therefore, drink a lot of fresh water to nourish their bodies. Dehydration in the body may lead to complications which may deem such players unfit for participating in the game.
Players should make sure they take some time to rest. It helps in repairing the body and clears the mind. Resting improves the productivity of a player and their general well-being.
Success in every game a player participates in gives them maximum satisfaction. Adhering to these tips is one way of finding this satisfaction.

Jack Rose - Kensington Blues
Artist: Jack Rose
Album: Kensington Blues
Label: VHF
Review date: Oct. 3, 2005
Jack Rose has been going places lately, and the evidence is all over this splendid record. The names of six of its eight tunes refer to places, some easy to find on a map ("Calais To Dover"), some harder to pin down ("Cross the North Fork"). Another brings up the journey we all must eventually take ("Flirtin' with the Undertaker").
The guitarist has toured like a demon in the year that preceded this recording, and it shows in the best possible ways. Every track is a first take, and each radiates the confidence of a man who knows he can just sit down and nail it, no problem. Rose has never sounded better; some credit must go to engineer Mike Chaffin for an exceptionally bright and present recording job, but more must go to the artist for the clarity, strength and purposefulness of his finger picking.
He also forges ahead in his material, sometimes by turning back the clock. Working backwards is part of his MO – remember that he recorded crumbling rock, acoustic trance, and full-on noise with Pelt for half a dozen years before he laid down his first finger-style performances. Kensington Blues includes a couple delightful ragtime tunes, his first compositions in that ancient but honorable style. It also features several winding, quasi-narrative fantasias, pieces that will lose you in the sheer gorgeousness of their sound without ever really getting lost; go ahead, try and stay rooted in this time and place whilst listening to "North Fork" or "Cathedral et Chartres" (forgive his French – you'd do the same for Chic). If you do, you've got some serious karmic baggage weighing down your soul.
"Now that I'm a Man Full Grown II," his latest Indian-style slide piece, picks up where Rose's side of the By The Fruits You Shall Know The Roots compilation left off. It accelerates slowly, affording plenty of time to appreciate his voluptuous tone on the lap steel before he builds to a thrilling breakneck climax and elegant denouement.
Rose also travels to the mountain. He's dedicated music to John Fahey, but here he finally records one of the man's compositions. His version of "Sunflower River Blues" sounds regal, unflappable and complete in the way that, say, Rose's pleasant but somewhat hurried cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground" on his first album was not. Truly he is a man full grown, and this is one of the best albums in any genre to come out in 2005.

Lomonosov Moscow State University is rightfully considered to be the oldest Russian University. It was founded in 1755. The establishment of a University in Moscow became possible thanks to the work of the outstanding scientist-encyclopedist, the first Russian academician Mikhail Lomonosov. At the present time Lomonosov Moscow State University comprises 15 research institutes, 42 faculties, more than 300 sub-faculties and 5 branches. Lomonosov MSU has at its disposal more than 600 buildings, including the Main Building on Sparrow Hills. The development of the university campus on the other side of Lomonosovsky Avenue began with the construction of the Intellectual Center with the main library, Shuvalov and Lomonosov buildings, as well as the Department of Fundamental Medicine and university-preparatory school.
The program at the territory of Lomonosov MSU is under discussion to select the visiting sites that might be included (e.g., Historic museum, Supercomputing center, Laser center, Nanotechnology center, Department of the Fundamental Medicine).
Moscow is the main city of the Russian State, the political, economic, cultural and scientific center of the country. The founder of Moscow is the Rostov-Suzdal Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, and the first mention of Moscow in Chronicles dates back to 1147. Many of the most valuable history and architectural monuments of world importance are concentrated here: the Kremlin, Red Square, Novodevichy Convent and the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The reconstructed Cathedral of Christ the Saviour on Kropotkinskaya Embankment became the city's main Cathedral. Numerous city parks are always ready to offer their guests an interesting and healthy recreation.
The cultural program is under discussion to select among plenty of possibilities (e.g., Moscow Kremlin museums, Palaces of the czars, Tsaricino Ensemble, Kuskovo Mansion).

Transdev launches 3rd autonomous shuttle program in Fla.
May 30, 2018 • by Metro Magazine Staff • Bookmark +
Transdev understands the future potential of AVs and the company is actively pursuing optimal ways to integrate them with public transportation, bring value to clients, and enhance the passenger experience.
Transdev launched its third autonomous vehicle operation in Florida, in partnership with the Gainesville Regional Transit System (RTS), the Florida Department of Transportation, and the University of Florida.
Gainesville will become the latest city in Florida to launch AV operations with a new route connecting passengers from the University of Florida to Downtown Gainesville. The new service will serve as a public transit supplement and will not replace any current route. Regular service is expected to begin this summer with a dedicated operator on board to ensure a smooth startup, with eventual plans to have the vehicle operate with full autonomy. The EZ10 Shuttle can hold up to 12 people and will travel in mixed-use traffic at speeds of up to 15mph.
RELATED: Video of Transdev's autonomous shuttle in operation
"Autonomous vehicles are expanding the mobility ecosystem. We are using the vehicles to supplement existing transit options and form new and better connections that did not exist before," said Dick Alexander, executive VP, business development, at Transdev. "Gainesville is the latest visionary city to understand how AVs can revolutionize urban transit and we are looking forward to delivering these next-era solutions for residents and visitors throughout Florida."
Transdev's autonomous vehicle network is already well established in Florida with operations currently running in Babcock Ranch; a master planned development near Ft. Myers, and in a pilot for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority focused on demonstrating the feasibility of AV technology for their planned "Ultimate Urban Circulator" (U2C) project. In Babcock Ranch, Transdev has partnered with developer Kitson and Partners to develop a fleet of autonomous vehicles for on-demand use in and around the planned town of 50,000 residents to reduce dependency on multiple-car homes.

Greece-Russia Year of Language and Literature
In the course of the 16th TBF, Greece and Russia are going to announce a Year of Language and Literature in both countries. As a result, the presence of Russia in the Thessaloniki Book Fair will be vibrant in a 200 sq.m. hall that will host quite a number of events and happenings. The year of Language and Literature will be concluded at the 33rd Moscow International Book Fair in September 2020.
Greek authors
The Thessaloniki Book Fair will also attract numerous Greek writers; some of the most renown Greek authors will participate either by presenting their books or as speakers in scheduled events. Here are some of the participants given in alphabetical order: Kostas Akrivos, Mimis Androulakis, Alexandros Asonitis, Nikos Vatopoulos, Christos Yannaras, Theodoros Grigoriadis, Nikos Davvetas, Alexandra Deligiorgi, Dimitris Dimitriadis, Lena Divani, Minos Efstathiadis, Stavros Zouboulakis, Isidoros Zourgos, Takis Theodoropoulos, Dimitris Kalokyris, Katerina Karizoni, Ioanna Karystiani, Kostas Katsoularis Dimitra Kolliakou, Thomas Korovinis, Dimosthenis Kourtovik, Auguste Corteau, Achilleas Kyriakidis, Dimitris Maniatis, Petros Markaris, Andreas Mitsou, Amanda Michalopoulou, Leon Nar, Sophia Nikolaidou, Yiannis Palavos, Nikos Panagiotopoulos, Hilda Papadimitriou, Jorgos Skampardonis, Sakis Serefas, Dimitris Sotakis, Ersi Sotiropoulos, Vasilis Tzanakaris, Fotini Tsalikoglou, Michel Fais, Maria Fakinou, Elena Chouzouri, Yiorgos Chouliaras, Christos Chryssopoulos, Soloup (Antonis Nikolopoulos), etc.
Main Topic
The main topic of the 16th TBF is "The Crowd as a Protagonist in Literature and History." In most cases, the crowd has been portrayed as a silent presence. Sometimes, however, it has come dynamically into the foreground. This thematic approach seeks to establish the role of the crowd, either as a background actor or, rather, as a protagonist on the social stage. It aspires to detect the way that literature and historical research have dealt with the crowd throughout time, while attempting to highlight the crucial ideological conflict of our day and age; namely, the one between the advocates of collective action –and consequently of social solidarity practices– and the supporters of individualism. In other words, it demonstrates the controversy between the proponents of civil society and those who believe that there is no society at all, just mere individuals.
Furthermore, the 16th TBF focuses on the following thematic areas:
Literature and Memory
Literature as a vehicle of the collective, individual and cultural memory defines the historical consciousness and consequently our present. Within this context, a number of events will take place, such as a tribute to the literary satire entitled "Satire Smile and Remembrance" on the occasion of the death or birth anniversaries of Georgios Souris, Nikos Tsiforos, Dimitris Psathas, Kleanthis Triantafyllou. In view of the thematic framework "Literature and Thessaloniki," there will be events dedicated to Nikos Bakolas, Leonidas Christakis and Kostis Moscov. With regard to the thematic area "Writing and Politics," attention will be focused on the works of Michalis Katsaros, Elli Pappa, Nikos Nikolaidis, Miltos Sachtouris. Last but not least, the works of Maria Iordanidou, Dido Sotiriou and Margarita Lyberaki will be presented and discussed upon in the thematic cluster "Women Greek Writers in the 20th Century."
Distinct homage will be paid to the linguistic contributions of Manolis Triantafyllidis, as 60 years have passed since his death.
"I, the Woman Man"* – Gender and Literary Performance
Does gender identity come naturally? How do contemporary writers and performers perceive the concept of gender? Do performative acts contain a political dimension that could function as a resistance to the norms and lead to the individual's happiness? Is there a women's literature? The relation of books to the performing arts and more specifically to performance will be presented through avant-garde readings, interactive workshops, theatrical adaptations of works of prose and verse, and actions based on classical or more recent literary works.
*Title of a Poem by Zoe Karelli
Imagine All the People: A Tribute to the Refugee Experience
For the fourth consecutive year, the program of the TBF incorporates actions, experiential workshops and book presentations for both children and adults, whose main focus will be the refugees' way of living, their voice, their needs, and their contribution to our country. Regarding this crucial issue, the 16th TBF has cooperated with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Greece, which will stage four workshops with refugee children and one event with the participation of Philippe Leclerc, the head of the UNHCR Greek office.
Children and Teenagers' Corner
As is the case with the previous years, theevents destined for children, teenagers and educators constitute one of the most powerful attractions of the TBF. Since its main objective is to make children, teenagers and educators familiar with engaged reading, the Thessaloniki Book Fair organizes various events, that involve not only presentations of recently published books, but also discussions of critical issues pertaining to the school and social life of all parties of the education process, the parents and of course the children and teenagers.
Festivals, Events and Actions
The TBF will also host its well-established program of events, which includes the 6th New Writers' Festival, the 4th Translation Festival, presentations of new publications, as well as discussions with authors, meetings among professionals of the book industry, thematic exhibitions and film screenings.
Priority to Professional Issues of the Publishing Industry
Great emphasis is given to the professional part of the publishing sector. The five-hour workshop on the future of the book, which will be held on Friday, May 10, at 10 am-3 pm, at the "Don Quixote" Hall in Pavilion 14, will focus on international market issues, modern business models and the new technologies. Publishing experts from Greece as well as England, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Brazil will take part in the workshop. In addition to this, a meeting corner will be in full swing at the International Pavilion 14, where Greek publishers and book professionals will have the opportunity to meet and discuss with publishers from abroad various issues concerning books and copyrights. Moreover, the Goethe Institute of Athens in cooperation with the Berlin headquarters will present the German literary translation program Litrix (http://www.litrix.de/el/index.cfm?), which is dedicated for the next two years to the translation of German books into Greek.
Exhibitions – Homage to Yannis Behrakis
The 16th Thessaloniki Book Fair also includes a large number of exhibitions. Not to be missed is the photo exhibition in memory of Pulitzer winning Reuters photojournalist Yannis Behrakis, who died recently; a man who featured the crucial moments of the refugee crisis through his capturing images. The exhibition is comprised of material granted from the Reuters agency, where Behrakis worked for more than three decades.
Other exhibitions involve: a part of the exhibition "Fighting for Peace: Greece-Italy-Spain in the 1980s," organized by the Hellenic Parliament Foundation, a group exhibition of twelve artists and poets under the title "Thinking together" organized by theFaculty of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the exhibition "Souvenirs de Salonique: French Stories from the past and the present" staged by the French Institute of Thessaloniki, an exhibition of awarded book illustrations in cooperation with the Greek Graphic Design and Illustration Awards (EBGE) and the Design Week.
The 16th Thessaloniki Book Fair is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund in the framework of the Regional Operational Program of Central Macedonia 2014-2020.

Please see my other two posts in this series on The Gimp and Open Office/Libre Office.
The Audacity audio application is one of the most widely downloaded open source applications today. Audacity was originally developed in the year 2000 and has grown a lot in terms of its functionality and flexibility since that time.
Audacity is a full-featured audio editing and creation tool. It is great for everything from simple recordings and edits to more complex projects involving virtual instruments, compression, and advanced plugin support. Audacity can also export audio to a variety of formats including FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV, and less common formats as well. It is truly a fully-featured audio editing application with none of the cost.
I personally use Audacity for editing the podcast Tanya and I record — (shameless plug) the Life on Fire Podcast. It is easy to make quick cuts, import audio from other files as new tracks, and to adjust the overall gain or audio levels in order to ensure everything mixes together well. From there I simply choose the export option to create the MP3 file for the episode. That being said, I only personally scratch the surface with Audacity myself.
Audacity also has advanced multi-track recording and editing features. There are an incredible amount of plugins, both free and paid, that will allow an artist to tweak every possible aspect of their sound. There is click and noise removal for those who want to capture their vinyl records in lossless quality. There is even compatibility for VST plugins and instruments which allow users to simulate older amplifiers, microphones, and other cool things. Audacity actually has a pretty sizable list of artists who have used the program to produce professional level audio. Anyone who wants to check it out can find the list here.
However, for the everyday user, Audacity is a simple-to-use audio recording and editing option. The only slight annoyance is that in order to export to MP3 users must also install the free LAME codec and tell the program where the codec is hiding. This is actually a fairly simple thing to do and there are step-by-step instructions on the Audacity website.
So, if you are a musician, a vinyl archivist, a podcaster, or just someone who wants to have a simple way to record and edit audio files, Audacity is for you. It is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows and, like the rest of the applications in the FOSS application series, it is 100% free.
If you are a musician or audio artist, why should you have to worry about expensive software instead of experiencing the joy of creating something?
Have I ever mentioned God is amazing! NO like truly awesome. JUST TODAY, I was contemplating the fact that Radio Cor Mariae uses Audacity to record/produce my show Catholic 24/7 (my turn to shamelessly plug lol). I was wondering if this was the best choice – I guess it is the silly consumer mentality if it is free how can it really be worthwhile. The timing of this column and of the Holy Spirit leading me to it– dumbfounding BUT.. question answered. NOW I need to figure out how to do all those cool stuff you mentioned (and more). Thanks Christopher!!!

Fact check: Here's what actually happens to SF's sewage
By Liz Kreutz
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump made a new claim about San Francisco: that the city's homeless population is polluting oceans with needles and other debris.
He said the city is "in serious violation" of environmental laws and warned the city will soon be getting a citation from the Environmental Protection Agency.
RELATED: Mayor London Breed reacts to Pres. Donald Trump's threat of EPA action against San Francisco
President Trump's comments drew swift condemnation from local San Francisco officials, including Mayor London Breed who brushed them off as "more lies."
So, what actually happens to San Francisco's sewage?
We all know there are all kinds of things on city streets that sometimes do go down the drain.
According to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission website, a few parts of the city (Ocean Beach, Lake Merced, and Mission Bay) are served by a sewer system where stormwater "goes directly into the Bay and Ocean with minimal treatment."
But SFPUC says that most of the city is serviced by a combined sewer system that "collects and treats both wastewater from homes and businesses and stormwater that falls on the city's streets and into the catch basins."
There are two main treatment plants that process any solid waste that goes down stormdrains in those areas.
RELATED: California vows to fight Trump administration to keep higher car emission standards
We went inside the city's largest water treatment plant to learn this step-by-step process of where it all goes (Spoiler Alert: For that system we didn't find much evidence to prove debris, like needles, can easily make their into the ocean).
Step 1: The first line of defense for waste around the city is catch basins. There are roughly 23,000 of them and anything a street sweeper doesn't clean up will likely go down there.
Step 2: From there, the sewage goes through the 1,000 mile underground sewer system to make its way to one of two water treatment plants in the city. The largest is the Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant in Bayview -- that's where roughly 80 percent of the city's sewage goes.
Step 3: Inside, the sewage is sorted and screened. Any solids -- such as construction material, baby wipes, even needles -- that made it through the catch basins and into the treatment plant are filtered out through two different machines.
Step 4: If any debris makes it through that, there's even another line of defense. "Then we go into the primary tank," Andrew Clark the plant's operations superintendent explained. "The primary tanks are designed to have more detention time to allow settables to settle and floatables to float."
Step 5: Eventually, the filtered solid debris is sorted, taken to a dump, and then to a landfill. The treated water then flows into the bay or ocean.
We asked Karri Ving with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission if it's different during storms. She said while some debris can get into the ocean during a storm, there's another filtering system in place -- called "primary treatment" -- that stops most of it.
"We're very proud of the system that does a great job separating out solids, including needles," Ving said. "And there are multiple lines of defense before we reach the bay and the ocean."

The central role of glutathione in the pathophysiology of human diseases
R. Franco, O. J. Schoneveld, A. Pappa, M. I. Panayiotidis
Reduced glutathione (L - glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is the prevalent low-molecular-weight thiol in mammalian cells. It is formed in a two-step enzymatic process including, first, the formation of -glutamylcysteine from glutamate and cysteine, by the activity of the -glutamylcysteine synthetase; and second, the formation of GSH by the activity of GSH sythetase which uses -glutamylcysteine and glycine as substrates. While its synthesis and metabolism occur intracellularly, its catabolism occurs extracellularly by a series of enzymatic and plasma membrane transport steps. Glutathione metabolism and transport participates in many cellular reactions including: antioxidant defense of the cell, drug detoxification and cell signaling (involved in the regulation of gene expression, apoptosis and cell proliferation). Alterations in its concentration have also been demonstrated to be a common feature of many pathological conditions including diabetes, cancer, AIDS, neurodegenerative and liver diseases. Additionally, GSH catabolism has been recently reported to modulate redox-sensitive components of signal transduction cascades. In this manuscript, we review the current state of knowledge on the role of GSH in the pathogenesis of human diseases with the aim to underscore its relevance in translational research for future therapeutic treatment design.

The Murky Truth About the Meowing French Nuns
The idea of an outbreak of nuns trading their hymns for the sounds of wailing felines – especially in a medieval French convent – is not only creepy but it also feels like the premise of a film in the Conjuring universe. But where did this story come from? Do we have any proof that it actually happened?
The Chaotic Life of Saint Christina the Astonishing: Levitator, Tomb Dweller, Icon
Christina the Astonishing lived her life in what appeared to be constant, unapologetic chaos. Was she chosen by God? Clinically insane? Deeply eccentric? Possessed by a demon? No one knew what to make of her 900 years ago, and there's certainly no point trying to make sense of her today. Because as her story shows, she wasn't called Christina the Astonishing for nothing.
Religious Heresy and Public Executions: The History of the Amersham Martyrs Memorial, Buckinghamshire

Q: Equational theory of $\varepsilon_0$ under the signature $(+,*,exp,0,1)$ I want to know if there is a finite set of identities that characterize the equational theory of the ordinal $\varepsilon_0$ under addition, multiplication, exponentiation, $0$, and $1$. $\varepsilon_0$ is understood to be the set of ordinals less than $\varepsilon_0$. I conjecture that these identities are sufficient:

*

*$x+0=x$

*$0+x=x$

*$(x+y)+z=x+(y+z)$

*$x*0=0$

*$0*x=0$

*$x*1=x$

*$1*x=x$

*$(x*y)*z=x*(y*z)$

*$x*(y+z)=(x*y)+(x*z)$

*$x^0=1$

*$x^1=x$

*$1^x=1$

*$x^y*x^z=x^{y+z}$

*$(x^y)^z=x^{y*z}$
Are these sufficient, or do we need a few more identities? Or is it not in fact finitely axiomatizable?

Congressman Price Announces Volunteer Generation Fund Grant to North Carolina
Washington, DC (July 10, 2020) – Congressman David Price announced that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) awarded a $270,875 Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) competitive grant to the North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service. This VGF grant will support efforts to expand, strengthen, and enhance the capacity of volunteer-based organizations in North Carolina.
"The North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service serves a vital role in supporting volunteer capacity in communities across the state," said Representative David Price. "It is often local volunteer organizations who provide nutritious food, public health services, educational opportunities, and other critical services to their communities, which is especially important as we continue to face the dire impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's for this reason that I recently introduced legislation to expand national service to meet the most pressing challenges confronting our nation. I am pleased that the Volunteer Generation Fund grant will enhance volunteer capacity and programming to respond to the increased demand for services in North Carolina during this time of need."
Representative Price has a long background uplifting service organizations and recently introduced the Pandemic Response and Opportunity Through National Service Act in his capacity as Co-Chair of the National Service Caucus. This bipartisan legislation would provide a comprehensive, locally-focused strategy to assist our national service infrastructure, including organizations such as AmeriCorps and Senior Corps, in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A one pager on the bill can be found here. A copy of the legislative text can be found here.

Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft has signed a contract with a subsidiary of French oil major Total to export more oil to Europe despite Western sanctions.
Speculation has been growing that companies working with Rosneft might have to reconsider deals after the United States imposed major new sanctions against Russia last month. In March, Exxon Mobil Corp cited Western sanctions first imposed in 2014 in announcing that it would exit some joint ventures with Rosneft.
Rosneft announced Monday it would supply between 4.8 million and 10.8 million metric tons of crude oil to Germany under a two-year deal with Total's Swiss-based subsidiary.
"As part of international crude trading development and maintaining supplies through high-marginal channels, the Company concluded a contract with TOTAL OIL TRADING SA to supply crude via the Druzhba [Friendship] pipeline," Rosneft said in its first-quarter operating results.
A late 2016 output-cutting agreement with the global organization of oil exporters has caused Rosneft's oil and gas condensate production to drop by 1.2 percent in the first three months of 2018.
Eni, one of Europe's biggest importers of Russian gas, extended a cooperation agreement with Rosneft last year to explore the Barents and Black Seas and to consider further opportunities together.

The Meditation Handbook is a practical guide to meditation that teaches us how to make ourself and others happy by developing inner peace, and in this way making our lives more meaningful.
Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all. Problems, suffering and unhappiness do not exist outside the mind; they are feelings and thus part of our mind. Therefore, it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make ourself and others truly happy.
