Why do images fascinate us? Do they have power over us?
School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies event Tuesday 7 February 2017
Date: Tuesday 7 February 2017, 17:15 –
Location: Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies
Do we see images or do images remake us? Do images make us see the world, and how? Our world is not only the age of information; it is the age of the image.
In 2016 we live in an ever-changing ocean of images. Images are the world for many of us because of the constant flow of images that we make and post, that trend or do not get picked up.
In art and art history, we question images and try to make sense of what they do to us. Why do images fascinate us? Do they have power over us? Do we remodel ourselves to look like the images in art or on instagram? Has this always been the case?
In this lecture art historian and cultural analyst Griselda Pollock, School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, will think about the recent political events like Brexit and the American election in terms of images: images of power, of men in power or women in power, of images of white and black men and women in power, of images of migrants, refugees, people of various religions and ethnicities.
The lecture is for teachers and Key Stage 5 students with an interest in art, art history, English, culture, politics, history or philosophy.
Professor Griselda Pollock is a prominent feminist art historian and cultural theorist whose interests include, feminist, social and postcolonial studies in art's histories, feminist interventions in psychoanalytical aesthetics and trauma and cultural memory and the Holocaust. Griselda recently spoke on BBC Radio 4's Front Row championing the new History of Art A Level, her interview is available to download here. More information about Griselda can be found here.

What Will Happen to the Tesla SpaceX Shot Into Space?
A NASA physicist estimated that the Roadster has traveled about 450,000 miles from Earth
Published February 7, 2018 • Updated on February 7, 2018 at 1:44 pm
After the Tesla Roadster hitched a ride into orbit on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket Tuesday, experts are predicting smooth sailing for the cherry red convertible, NBC News reported.
The car's current trajectory will take it beyond mars and into the asteroid belt in its planned orbit around the sun, according to a diagram tweeted by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. But scientists say it is unlikely the car will encounter anything beyond ultraviolet radiation, cosmic rays, other highly charged particles or an occasional micrometeoroid.
As a result, ongoing exposure to UV light will cause the car's paint to fade over time, just as cars here on Erth do.
A NASA physicist estimated that the Roadster has traveled about 450,000 miles from Earth, or roughly twice the distance from Earth to the moon, as of Wednesday afternoon.

Home Newsroom DPM Heng Swee Keat at the Launch of the Expansion of Code in the Community
DPM Heng Swee Keat at the Launch of the Expansion of Code in the Community
DPM Heng Swee Keat | 4 January 2020
Speech by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat at the Launch of the Expansion of Code in the Community on 4 January 2020.
Mr Caesar Sengupta,
General Manager of Payments and
Vice President of the Next Billion Users, Google,
Partners, volunteers and graduates of Code in the Community,
Starting young in our Smart Nation journey
A very good morning and a Happy New Year!
I am pleased to join you today to launch the expanded Code in the Community programme. When Caesar first announced Code in the Community in 2016, he said that Google wanted to inspire more Singaporeans to become future technologists, and leave their mark on the world.
As a society, we share this aspiration too. Here in Singapore, we have been working hard to become a Smart Nation.
We know that digital technology will have a pervasive and transformational effect on our economy and society. It is already changing the way we live and work, and we can see it powering the next revolution in engineering, finance, healthcare and many other fields.
When we embarked on our Smart Nation journey, we made it a key priority to better prepare our people for the possibilities of technology.We want every person and business in Singapore to not only have access to technology, but be empowered to use technology to seize opportunities and improve lives regardless of background.
To do this, we have to start young, by equipping our children and students with the skills to use technology confidently and safely.
The Code@SG movement was started by IMDA in 2014 with this objective in mind. Code@SG has programmes for students at all levels from pre-school, all the way to our ITEs, polytechnics and universities. At the primary and secondary school levels, we have the "Code for Fun" programme. This is a ten-hour programme where students learn basic coding and computational thinking skills. From this year, we will be conducting Code for Fun classes for all primary schools, for all upper primary students. Since Code@SG began, more than 345,000 students have benefitted from its programmes. But we can and must do more, to empower a new generation of digital innovators and creators among our young.
Code in the Community
Our efforts therefore have to extend beyond schools to the community, and I am very encouraged to see the community doing its part.
The Code in the Community programme is a good example of a program by the community, for the community. This program was initiated by Google in partnership with Saturday Kids and 21C Girls and with our Self-Help Groups. Since 2017, Code in the Community has helped about 2,300 students from disadvantaged backgrounds learn the basics of coding. At the same time, the program has not only sparked an abiding interest in technology among many of its participants, but also helped them gain confidence in problem-solving, taught them not to be afraid of failure, and helped them gain concrete skills to work towards their goals, and eventually, fulfil their dreams.
15-year old Sean Lim is one such participant. Through Code in the Community's Python course, Sean was able to develop a better appreciation for the fundamentals and logic of coding. But he did not stop there. Having graduated from this programme, Sean continued to hone his coding skills. In fact, he recently developed an app to help drivers track car park availability in real time, using LTA's open data on carpark availability. Drivers can pull out a list of car parks in their vicinity, and find out the number of available lots and parking rates. Sean now wants to continue developing new solutions to solve other real-world problems and he hopes to be a programmer in the future. Sean has also volunteered his time and expertise to help other students, serving as a teaching assistant at a coding camp.
To Sean, and all the other graduates – Congratulations on your achievements! Your parents and instructors are very proud of you, and I wish you all the best, and hope that you will continue to stay open to learn, level up your skills, and improve the lives of those around you.
I hope that Sean's story will also encourage and inspire all of us here today, especially the teams from Saturday Kids and 21C Girls, who run the Code in the Community programs, as well as the volunteer instructors, many of whom are from Google and GovTech. Thank you for your generosity, and in giving your time to invest in our young.
Thank you also to the partners from the four Self-Help Groups for reaching out to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and enrolling them on this programme.
Many thanks also to the People's Association and the National Library Board for offering their spaces, so that Code in the Community classes can take place in the community.
I am confident that the seeds you have planted in our students will continue to bear fruit for many years to come.
An expanded Code in the Community
Given how much Code in the Community has achieved in three short years, I am very happy that Google has decided to expand this programme, in partnership with IMDA. The expansion will benefit another 6,700 students by 2022 – almost three times the number that you have reached so far. In addition to funding support, IMDA will also be mobilising your partners on the Singapore Digital Friends movement. Under this movement, corporate organisations and individuals sign up to help their fellow Singaporeans acquire digital skills. IMDA hopes to mobilise some of these existing volunteers to become instructors with the expanded Code in the Community programme, so this is a very good multiplier effect.
Code in the Community will also tie up with MOE to reach even more students from disadvantaged families, who are currently receiving help under UPLIFT1. This is an extension of your strong commitment to make coding accessible to students from all backgrounds.
Last, but certainly not least, I am glad that many more volunteers from our tech companies and educational institutions have also come forward to support this next phase. I was told that you will be training 1,000 more volunteer instructors, including some who will be learning coding for the first time!
Working together in our Smart Nation journey
This dynamism and strong community spirit behind Code in the Community is core to our Smart Nation journey.
A Smart Nation is not just about having 5G internet, artificial intelligence (AI) or driverless cars. At its heart, becoming a Smart Nation is about the community working together, so that no one – regardless of their age or background – is left behind by technology.
As we venture ahead in our Smart Nation journey, let us keep with this spirit of our Singapore Together movement – and do everything we can to progress together, giving our best for each other.
Let me provide some practical suggestions on what this could look like for us. To the volunteers and partners of Code in the Community, I hope you will continue to be a part of the expanded programme, and encourage others to sign up as volunteers too! To our students, Singapore's future lies in your hands. Do continue to deepen your skills, and apply what you know to improve the lives of those around you. No matter where we are on our tech journey, all of us must stay open to learning new skills, and help those around us to make better use of technology.
By taking charge of our own learning, and by partnering one another, we can achieve our vision of a Smart Nation together. I wish all of you many more years of fun, learning and growth ahead!

Africa reaches 100,000 known COVID-19 deaths as danger grows
Africa surpassed 100,000 confirmed deaths from COVID-19 as the continent praised for its early response to the pandemic now struggles with a dangerous resurgence and medical oxygen often runs desperately short.
"We are more vulnerable than we thought," the director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, John Nkengasong, told The Associated Press in an interview reflecting on the pandemic and a milestone he called "remarkably painful".
He worried that "we are beginning to normalize deaths," while health workers are overwhelmed.
The 54-nation continent of some 1.3 billion people has barely seen the arrival of large-scale supplies of COVID-19 vaccines, but a variant of the virus dominant in South Africa is already posing a challenge to vaccination efforts. Still, if doses are available, the continent should be able to vaccinate 35% to 40% of its population before the end of 2021 and 60% by the end of 2022, Nkengasong said.
In a significant development on Friday, an African Union-created task force said Russia has offered 300 million doses of the country's Sputnik V vaccine, to be available in May. The AU previously secured 270 million doses from AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.
Health officials who breathed a sigh of relief last year when African countries did not see a huge number of COVID-19 deaths are now reporting a jump in fatalities. The Africa CDC on Friday said overall deaths are at 100,294.
Deaths from COVID-19 increased by 40% in Africa in the past month compared to the previous month, the World Health Organization's Africa chief, Matshidiso Moeti, told reporters last week. That's more than 22,000 people dying in the past four weeks.
The increase is a "tragic warning that health workers and health systems in many countries in Africa are dangerously overstretched," she said, and preventing severe cases and hospitalizations is crucial.
But the latest trend shows a slowdown. In the week ending on Sunday, the continent saw a 28% decrease in deaths, the Africa CDC said Thursday.
Africa has reached 100,000 confirmed deaths shortly after marking a year since the first coronavirus infection was confirmed on the continent, in Egypt on Feb. 14, 2020.
But many more people across Africa have died of COVID-19, even though they are not included in the official toll.
South Africa, the hardest-hit country on the continent, saw over 125,000 excess deaths from natural causes between May 3 and Jan. 23. While it is not clear how many were from the virus, there was a "close correspondence of the time of the excess deaths with the increases in confirmed COVID-19 cases in each province," the South African Medical Research Council said.
Since most countries in Africa lack the means to track mortality data, it is not clear how many excess deaths have occurred across the continent since the pandemic began.

❯Juventus ❯ Jan-Klaas Huntelaar – Who Will Sign Him Next Summer?
Jan-Klaas Huntelaar – Who Will Sign Him Next Summer?
1 Oct 2007 7 min read
The past several days have been absolutely hectic in football, with Manchester United and Chelsea making most of the headlines. Mourinho's departure was almost as shocking as Mike Dean's performance and nearly as expected as Manchester United's loss to Coventry while Avram Grant has shown that he is not really a football manager. But, just to shift the attention away from the top two in England, Ajax sensation Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has put himself on the transfer market as he announced he will leave the Dutch capital in the coming summer (if not sooner than that).
Huntelaar has made a name for himself in the season and a half he has spent at Ajax and was poised to leave at the end of last season. So, in characteristic style, the English media drew up a never ending list of possible suitors for the young (but not too young) striker. In the end, the summer passed and Huntelaar was still wearing the Ajax colours. It looked as if all the speculation was utterly pointless — which is hardly ever the case in the English media, right? But now a new list has to be drawn up; a list with all the likely candidates for the Dutchman's signature.
Who else could be top of the list? The Premier League champions were among the most popular destination for Huntelaar in the media this summer. And it is not hard to see why. Manchester United have struggled for goals as most of their strikers have been unfit for the start of the current campaign, but even as Rooney and Saha have returned, it looks unlikely that they will manage to match last season's 83 goals. Huntelaar will give that extra dimension in attack; he will be a more mobile version of van Nisterlooy and he might be able to combine well with either Rooney or Tevez.
The main dilemma that Sir Alex will face is whether to sell or bench Saha. The French striker is vital for the team, but since he has moved to Old Trafford he has been hampered by injuries. There is no reason that he would not be among the top players in that squad and the top goal scorer if he stays fit, but because of his injury problems he might have to go and make way for another talented player.
Huntelaar fits the bill for that talented player perfectly and if he does not have an exceptional season (like his previous at Ajax) his price tag might not too high for Sir Alex's budget which will be much thinner than this summer's. Finally there is the question over his adaptability: his performances in Holland in recent years have been unbelievable, but will he manage to replicate that for in the Premier League? If other transfers from the Erendivisie to the English league are to be any indication, than he will fit right in.
The Spanish champions will look to bolster their attacking options next summer as their best two — van Nisterlooy and Raul — are getting too old to be as effective as they were in the past. Huntelaar would not be a bad option for them, as he has proved that he can score many goals and he might be tempted to the Spanish capital for a couple of reasons. The first is that every player — more or less — wants to play for Real Madrid; the second is that Schuster has built a Dutch party at Santiago Bernabeu with four Dutch players coming in this summer to join van Nisterlooy. If he is not a very adaptable person, he will be highly encouraged by this as his fellow countrymen could help him fell more comfortable.
There is really no reason for Real Madrid to be reluctant to buy Huntelaar, provided they need him. The men at Santiago Bernabeu have not shown much loyalty in the past and if another player comes in than somebody needs to make room. At the moment the most likely to be out the door is former Barcelona hit man Saviola who has not put on the best performances of his career so far, but let's give him time. As far as the price tag is concerned: when has Real Madrid ever had any limitation on their budget? This is a sure destination for Huntelaar if they decide they want him.
Benitez does not like a quiet summer, especially if he has money to spend. As he has shown in the past, if there is any one player who has not performed well during the season, he will be out the door. So look out for Vronin or Crouch, because if they fail to impress, Benitez will try to bring someone else to replace them and Huntelaar is one possible target. Tall, strong, is a good target man, the list goes on. In short he is a more efficient version Crouch.
Benitez might have a more limited budget than the two previous candidates for Huntelaar's signature and the club owners might not be very much interested to give him money to buy another striker provided that Torres can score for Liverpool. Despite this, Liverpool does need someone like Huntelaar currently. When Torres is not there, or he is not playing well it is hard to see where the goals might come from. On the other hand the strike force of Kuyt and Huntelaar could petrify opposition defences as the two seem to complement each other perfectly. Liverpool might not be the only beneficiaries from such a deal as the Dutch national team will also greatly benefit if their two main strikers play together week-in, week-out (or at least train together, provided Benitez is the manager).
Having lost several of their best players following automatic relegation form Seria A for a match fixing scandal (an easy punishment in my opinion), Juventus are looking to rebuild their squad to challenge for top honours like they used to when they were fixing games. They have bought several good players and their squad looks good enough to challenge for a UEFA Cup spot next year, but naturally they want more and Huntelaar would give them much more quality.
The Dutch striker could well be considered better than current Juventus striker Iaquinta and could be used to fill in for the ageing Del Piero and Trezeguet. SkySports reckons that a deal has already been put in place for a transfer which would take place next summer. This could be a major boost for Juventus who will continue to make their team stronger and stronger until they become champions of Italy again (and maybe top the fair play league as well!).
In my opinion these four are the most likely to compete for the signature of Huntelaar and if they all move for the striker than Real might well be the next destination, however, I think that the most likely club to make a move will be Manchester United. They, more than any other team needs reinforcements in attack while the other three would look to expand on already prolific strike forces. So who do you think needs Klass-Jan Huntelaar most? Will he suceed at the highest level?

Channel Islands Dive Adventures has the Magician chartered for a single day trip to dive the oil rigs (Eureka, Elley & Ellen) and the wreck of the Olympic ll on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2019 and Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019. Diving rigs & wrecks can be an awesome experience. Whether you want to take pictures, get scallops or just sightseeing there is just something mystifying about diving a man-made object out in the open ocean!
The plan is to board at 6:00 am or after 8:00 pm Friday evening and depart at 7:00 am with us getting back about 4:00 pm.
Diving the oil rigs Eureka, Elley and Ellen can be an awesome experience. Eureka (about 700' deep) is the furthest out of the 3 and in most divers opinion it is the best to dive. Then you have Elley and Ellen (around 260' deep) which are not far from Eureka and are about 8 miles out of Long Beach. Elley and Ellen are connected together by a bridge making them more into an oil rig complex. What makes an oil rig so much fun to dive is the amount of life that has called the legs and cross braces home plus you then have the schooling fish and sea lions swimming around the structure. The rigs legs and cross braces are covered with things like nudibranches, anemones (including metridiums), lots of fish like rockfish, Cabazon and sheephead, brittle stars and more. The rigs are photographer's dreams come true. The visibility can vary depending on conditions and depth from 20'-100'. Generally the best vis is 60' or deeper.
The Olympic started her life as the Star of France. She was built in Ireland in 1877 as a 3 masted ship and was 258′ x 38′. She was later sold and relocated to Washington State in the early 1900's to haul lumber and later worked in Alaska. She then sat for many years before becoming a fishing barge in 1934. She was then renamed the Olympic ll and moved to San Pedro. She served as a fishing barge for many years until the morning of September 4, 1940 when she was hit by another boat, the Sakito. It was tragic as she sunk fast with the loss of some lives. The Olympic now sits a few miles out of Los Angeles Harbor in 100′ of water.
This trip is best suited for Advanced divers and above that have experience in cold water conditions including; current, swell, possible limited visibility and deep water. The oil rigs visited are unique and interesting and inherently have more hazards and may not necessarily have the best dive conditions. Most importantly, good buoyancy control is needed and surface signal tubes are always recommended.

Q: SQL select resultOfSelect from table I'm a beginner to SQL and am struggling with the following:
I have two tables with the same columns except one column from table A is not a column of table B and table B has a column that table A doesn't have. I want to copy data from
one into the other table.
I got the following SQL, that gives me the column-names of my table B:
SELECT name
FROM sys.columns
WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('TABLEB')
  AND name <> COLUMNNOTINA

I want to use that select as a query:
SELECT
    (SELECT name
     FROM sys.columns
     WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('TABLEB')
       AND name <> COLUMNNOTINA), 0
FROM
    TABLEA

This does not work, but how do I make this work?
Thank you in advance!

A: Let's say there is some common thing connecting the two tables
For example, ORDINAL_POSITION
T1.ORDINAL_POSITION = T2.ORDINAL_POSITION

Is there a description or property to compare each column?
select * from (
(SELECT name FROM sys.columns WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('TABLEA') ) as T1
Inner join
(SELECT name FROM sys.columns WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('TABLEB') ) as T2
ON T1.ORDINAL_POSITION = T2.ORDINAL_POSITION
)
Where T1.ColName <> T2.ColName

After weeks of tension throughout the world as Kim Jong Il and North Korea conducted nuclear warhead tests, Kim announced that he would return to bilateral or six-party talks with America. The self-proclaimed dictator of the Communist nation reportedly claimed that he 'regrets' conducting any nuclear tests, which is why he agreed to resume negotiations.
Before passing any judgments, one should look at the history of Kim as a leader. He continued economic policies that led to the poverty of North Korea and the death of millions of his people. In 2001, he spent $340 million on military arms by selling North Korean political prisoners as laborers to Russia. He also received $120 million in foreign aid, which was directed at financing his military. In multiple situations, he continued to terrorize South Korean and Japanese citizens. After all this, Kim openly stated that he was not in possession of nuclear weapons. A few weeks ago, we all learned what a lie that was.
From an American point of view, why would anyone trust this man? A conservative would say that we should just resume the talks peacefully and try to make the best out of it. That was President George W. Bush's agenda for North Korea during most of his administration. Look where we are now: After multiple nuclear warhead tests, Kim seemingly wants peace negotiations.
America should not trust this man. Based on his record, he could easily be stalling for time while mass producing nuclear warheads just as easily as he could be 'regretting' his decision to test them in the first place. Unless his tests were complete failures and he killed all his scientists in retaliation (which he is probably very liable to do), there is no reason to put a large amount of American effort and resources into negotiations with this man.
Bush has repeatedly declared that Osama bin Laden is 'evil.' Although this word is used loosely in present times, the connotation should not be forgotten. Reagan had previously referred to the Soviet Union as evil because they were illegitimate in their actions. Thus, it should be seen that Kim is 'evil.' What kind of a dictator starves his own people and orders Italian chefs to make gourmet pizzas at the height of the famine? What kind of leader imprisons three generations of families simply because they were descendents of Christians? An evil leader does. And it has never been an American policy to adhere to the wishes of an evil man.
The primary reason why America should proceed with caution, however, is the high tensions throughout the continent of Asia, which are unfortunately centered around North Korea. Taiwan recently declared itself an independent country and is trying to earn a separate seat in the U.N. council, resulting in anger from a Chinese government which is still trying to adapt to its new capitalist economy. Japan, one of America's top economic partners in Asia, has a tense relationship with both China and North Korea. Finally, the 38th parallel still exists for a reason. A simple spark among any one of these countries could result in World War III, and, considering how many ties Asia has around the world, that is not an understatement.
There is always the conservative approach toward the present situation and one can't ignore the possibility, however unlikely, that Jong Il is serious in his statements regarding the nuclear tests. However, the sanest approach would be not to trust the dictator, at least not fully. America should not doubt the fact that Jong Il has a primary objective and that these negotiations are either part of his plan or a secondary part of his agenda.

I have been painting with oils for about four years. This has been a very organic process of trial and error, of experimentation with a palette knife, texture and contrast. I have a small easel set up on my kitchen counter, and much of what I paint is inspired by what I see outside my windows: the Ossipee Mountains, muy chickens, our fields. I like that the palette knife lets me work quickly, and also that using oils slows me down. It's a balancing act that both embraces and pushes against my nature. At this point in my life I am self-taught, though I am blessed to have many artists as friends who are generous with their support, and whse work is inspirational and motivating.


Johan Ackermann felt mixed emotions after Gloucester chalked up their fifth straight Premiership win to move up to second in the table.
Despite scoring five tries to beat bottom side London Irish 39-15 at Kingsholm, head coach Ackermann was disappointed with his side's performance.
"I won't lie if I say I wasn't happy with how we played," said Ackermann.
"We played with a lack of intensity and inaccuracy but it is mixed emotions because one must be grateful that we got over the winning line and scored 39 points.
"It keeps the momentum there, it keeps the belief there but the biggest thing is we grinded it out tonight. It wasn't pretty so we showed we can go down in arm wrestle as well.
"We played in glimpses. We had opportunities but never finished all of them, especially in the 22.
"I think there were almost times when we went back to one dimensional rugby.
London Irish were reduced to 14 men when David Paice was sent off for a shoulder charge on Willi Heinz just before half-time with Gloucester leading 20-8 at the time and they went onto complete a comfortable victory.
It was their seventh Premiership win of the season from 10 games and their fifth out of five at Kingsholm, both equalling their tally from the whole of last season with Ackermann's revolution in full swing.
"It's everybody, it's not just one individual," said Ackermann.
"You've got to look at the work the assistant coaches put in, you have to look at the work the fitness coaches have put in, you have to look at the work the conditioner put in.
"Since pre-season he knew the style we wanted to play, I said to him the guys have to be well conditioned and credit to everybody.
"We can't do it without our medical staff, we can't do it without the manager, anybody so it's not just me and the players are willing to work hard and I think that's the secret.
Ackermann also paid tribute to the supporters with Kingsholm beginning to resemble something of a fortress again.
He said: "We want to make this place a tough place to come so it's our duty on the field but we can't do it without the supporters off the field that really gets the players fired up to enjoy this moment.

Dr. Andrew Gordon has seen fit to tar Jackson with all manner of calumnies. Gordon claims that Jackson "disliked the miscellany of gifted amateurs who comprised the Room's crew [Room 40], and resented the notion that such people could contribute anything of use to naval affairs."<ref>Gordon. p. 72.</ref> He labels him as a "ridiculous, blustering officer", a "buffoon", and "execrable."<ref>Gordon. pp. 72, 416, 486, respectively.</ref> Massie, based on nothing more than Gordon, wrote that "Jackson exemplified those British naval officers who scorned such modern capabilities and techniques as deciphering secret codes."<ref>Massie. p. 580.</ref> Referring to Jackson's appointment as S.N.O., Egypt, Lieutenant-Commander Patrick Beesly wrote: "Some relief may have been provided by the despatch of the ineffable Thomas Jackson to Alexandria, where he attempted to reverse the the reforms introduced by Admiral Wemyss, until suppressed by Wemyss's successor, Gough-Calthorpe."<ref>Beesly. p. 178.</ref> Beesly provided no evidence or source for any of these comments. He also ignored the fact that Jackson was Wemyss's successor in the Mediterranean and not Gough-Calthorpe. Michael Clemmesen has described Jackson as "limited" in his capacity as D.O.D.,<ref>Clemessen. p. 31.</ref> yet naturally gives no context or evidence for this. Jackson's reputation has been salvaged somewhat by more searching minds, for example Captain Jason Hines, U.S.N., in his article on Jutland signals intelligence, and Dr. Norman Friedman in his work on naval command and control. ==See Also== {{refbegin}} {{WP|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jackson_(Royal_Navy_officer)}} {{refend}} ==Bibliography== {{refbegin}} *"Admiral Sir Thomas Jackson" (Obituaries).

The new trailer for Warcraft—a movie that feels a lot more exciting when we think of it as "the third film from Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones" than "a video game cutscene stretched to two hours"—hit the internet today. Legendary showed the new footage off to the blood-crazed hordes at Activision Blizzard's annual BlizzCon event this morning, before crying havoc and letting loose the dogs of online distribution.
Still, fans of the franchise looking to fill out their checklist of recognizable elements should be happy. Orcs? Check. Humans? Check. Gryphons? Yup. Little baby orc Moses, floating down the river in a basket? You betcha. Attractive orc ladies making eyes at the guy from Vikings? Sure, why not. June 10, 2016 release date? It's not in the games, but yeah, that seems like it could work.


Classes are approximately 1 hour. The first 15-20 minutes are dedicated to warm-up and mobility work. We then go over the WOD, review the movements and help you scale (if needed). Finally the group WOD is performed (this lasts between 5-25 min depending on the WOD). The remainder of the time is for cool-down and/or skill work.
This really depends on how hard YOU are willing to work. Someone that is dedicated and wants results instantly can achieve it them fast. If you are willing to change your nutrition and start exercising immediately, then you could achieve results in just a few short weeks. The average person can start to see physical changes in 4 weeks. Members often get other changes much quicker. They experience more energy throughout the day, better sleep, better focus, and less stress after only a few sessions.
Do I have to be in great shape to take CrossFit classes?
No, not at all, there is a common misconception that CrossFit is for elite athletes. The truth is that it is for everyone. Sure, we say that we are "forging elite fitness" and we are. This means that you start the journey where you are today. And, if you stay on our path it's likely that you will get in to the best physical and emotional shape of your life.
Our community is comprised of competitive athletes, former athletes, working professionals, people that had never stepped foot into a gym before and people with physical ailments and limitations. Allow us to guide you in the journey to the best shape of your life.
CrossFit is perfect for athletes. Our goal is to make you a complete athlete by targeting all 10 general physical skills: Cardio- Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Speed, Power, Coordination, Accuracy, Agility and Balance. Most traditional training methods only target a few of these skills. The most important part of CrossFit for athletes, is that we use functional movements, Olympic lifts, and gymnastics to propel you to your next level. CrossFit will also improve your mental toughness. Our workouts will push you mentally every time, which gives you an advantage over non-CrossFitters. CrossFit is known as the "sport of fitness." Each training session will feel like a competition; which carries over into your sport. Being able to perform while you hit that mental wall and when fatigue sets in can be trained. Learn how to eat right, get stronger, more explosive, move faster, increase flexibility, and increase mental toughness to become a complete Athlete!
Also, testosterone is required for a person to develop large muscles. Women have 1/10 the testosterone as men, which makes it impossible to develop huge muscles naturally. The huge and buff women you see in body building magazines are taking testosterone injections, eating a diet geared towards "bulking", and working very differently than we do here at Polarize CrossFit. Have no fear of getting bulky, I promise you it won't happen; just Google search CrossFit Women and take a look.
Many people hurt their lower backs, knees, shoulders, etc. and are afraid to exercise those areas. The problem with avoiding those previously hurt areas forever is that they never get strengthened. This is a disaster waiting to happen. You create muscular imbalances by training other areas of your body and avoiding the problem area. You become stronger everywhere else but at the same time that problem area gets weaker in comparison. This actually increases your chance for that area to be reinjured.
CrossFit is safe when done correctly. In the Fundamentals course we teach you proper mechanics for these functional movements, and continue to review them in the regular group setting, as safety is a priority for us. We first teach you proper mechanics, we drill them consistently, then we add the intensity.
Remember, any activity can result in injury. CrossFit is safer than most activities because we incorporate movements your body is MEANT to do. When was the last time you saw someone outside of the gym doing a bicep curl? Never! This movement isn't really used in real life. Now, when was the last time you saw someone deadlift in real life? Pretty recently I bet. Picking up anything from the ground and bringing it to your waist? Yep, that's a deadlift!
What is the difference between doing the workouts on my own and doing them at Polarize CrossFit?
The most important part is coaching. Having a knowledgeable coach with you during your WOD will reduce the risk of injury, improve your fitness faster, and help fix bad mechanics. You can't see yourself while you train. This leads to bad form and bad habits. These problems will actually be harder to correct in the future as the bad habits are ingrained in your muscle memory.
You may be missing the warm-up, cool down, and fun time. We focus on warm-up, skills and cool-down daily. We also work on mobility and stretching for re-habilitation and injury prevention.
A big part of CrossFit is the community, family, and camaraderie. Having a good base of positive people around you is the best environment to train in. Not only will you be pushed harder because of the support from everyone, but you will have a great time doing it. Take a look at your chain gym. When you walk in, you will see a bunch of people with I-pods. Everyone is secluded and not interacting with anyone else. This leads to boring workouts that have no intensity (which means ineffective) and eventually pushes people to quit exercising. It is a sad sight to see. If you go to any CrossFit gym, you will see that the energy is high, everyone is encouraging, and everyone really cares about each other.
CrossFit is about variance and adaptation. We "program" our workouts for General Physical Preparedness, or GPP. We don't have leg days, back- and bicep days, or cardio days. We believe the body is a whole system, and we strengthen it as a whole.
So for you, in a short time, this means that you'll be a better runner than the best weightlifter, a better lifter than the best marathoner, and more physically prepared for anything in your everyday life. Plus you'll live in a healthy body with a strong, lean physique.
The best part is that every workout is led by a qualified coach and you're joined by like-minded people who want to be and feel better.
You will feel successful and be part of a community of athletes, many of whom you did NOT expect to be CrossFitters. You'll have a better understanding of how classes are run and the method behind what we do. And it's likely you will have learned new things, be a little bit "sore" and excited to come back for more.
What's the drop in policy for out of town guests?
Just come in and we'll take good care of you. Our drop in fee is $15 or if you are going to be in and out of town frequently we can do a 10 workout punch card. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before classes to complete your paperwork. That's it! Be sure to let your coach know your level of experience with CrossFit-style training, if you have any limitations or are still at a beginner level. Call us for more details.. We are flexible!
What is your policy for membership cancellations?
Polarize CrossFit allows you to cancel your membership at any time for any reason, provided you give us 30-days' notice.
What's your Lost/Stolen Item Policy?
Polarize CrossFit cannot be held responsible for the loss or theft of personal items left in the facility or your car while parked in our out of our parking lot. We keep lost item in a Lost and Found Basket at the Front Reception Desk. Ask a staff member to sift through it if you've lost something. Unclaimed items left for more than 60 days will be donated to a local shelter/charity.

Metrodome heated up to melt snow
By The Associated Press | ap@ap.com |
PUBLISHED: December 8, 2012 at 11:01 p.m. | UPDATED: November 10, 2015 at 9:26 a.m.
Metrodome officials are making sure the heavy snow in downtown Minneapolis doesn't bring the roof down.
It's been almost two years to the day since 17 inches of snow in 24 hours tore holes in the inflatable dome, forcing the Vikings to play the final two games of the season elsewhere. The repair project cost $22.7 million.
Steve Maki, director of facilities for the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Authority, confirmed that the heat was cranked after Sunday's Vikings-Bears game. And he said it would stay that way until the storm passes. All well so far, he said.
Maki also said jokingly that sportswriters complaining about the heat up in the press box could have a pretty nice sauna if they splash some water on the rocks.

Q: show and hide Span/Label text in textbox I am trying to implement a simple trick which would hide span/label inside textbox when user starts entering text in respective textbox, and show it, on blur if textbox is empty.
(It is implemented on user sign in form)
This thing is working okay so far and here is the demo
But it fails in following scenario:
1) If user enters username, previously entered username list (the form data stored by browser when auto-complete is turned off) appears. And if user selects username with mouse-click from the list, password field gets auto-populated. Now though password field has value in it, it won't hide the span.
(keydown/focus/click/change event over textbox not helping in this case)

2) When the username/password is wrong, page reloads, username textbox has last entered value. But still the span over it is being displayed.
(I tried to check if username textbox is empty on pageload. It didn't work)

Can anyone help me fix these things?
Thanks in advance... :)

A: What you need i s a placholder. Placeholder have been standardized by html5
 and can be easily implemented via various jquery plugin (here is one).
i suggest you use those solutions, as they are standards. the ideal solution is to use html5 and than fallback to javascript for older browsers.
Look ath this form where i implemented placholders: http://www.consiglio.regione.lombardia.it/web/crl/BancheDati/atti_si
When you insert a letter in an input field, the text disappears. It's done with the help of that plugin.

A: It seems that you are attempting to reinvent the wheel here.  Check this already answered question on what appears to be the same subject:
how do I make an html text box show a hint when empty

A: Usability-wise, I don't think it would be terrible to hide the watermarks of both inputs regardless of which on was clicked/keydowned etc. Now this next option is controversial, so you have been warned...
<input name="first_name" type="text" autocomplete="off">

Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that - most often used to prevent credit card fields from autocompleting. Hope something in here this helps.

VIDEA's Fair Trade Fair - Nov. 12th - Dec. 12th, 2020
Once a year, VIDEA gathers with other socially conscious, fair trade community members to put on the Fair Trade Fair. The fair has grown substantially since its beginnings over 20 years ago! This year, you can explore the Fair Trade Fair virtually! Visit each vendors' page and learn about their history, their impact, the communities and artisans they are partnered with, and, of course, shop their stunning fair trade goods. By doing so, you are directly supporting small businesses and communities around the world.
The Fair Trade Fair isn't just about adding yet another day of shopping to an already consumer-packed season though! Take a moment to learn about the different projects many of the vendors support; how they first got involved in fair trade and why it is important to them. Learning from one another and sharing stories and concerns regarding trade is also an important part of the Fair Trade Fair! Thank you for joining us to support our fair trade community!
VIDEA has been a strong supporter of fair trade over the last few decades - supporting the development of fair trade initiatives in Zambia and producing learning resources including "Trade my Way, the Coffee Trade - a teacher's Guide" and "Deceptive Beauty: the story of Fair Flowers".

Today's guest post is from Susan McKee, a print and digital writer who is also a blogger. She attended TBEX in Keystone.
I originally wrote this column for the "Freelance Writing" section of the April 2007 issue of The Quill (the magazine of the Society of Professional Journalists). When I was at TBEX in Keystone last month, there were many discussions of ethics regarding bloggers vs. journalists – discussions that have continued in other places where travel writers gather. Seems to me that my commentary from back then is even more true now that online publications have (more or less) replaced the traditional travel markets of magazines and newspapers.
As a professional travel writer, I occupy a place in the journalistic hierarchy somewhere just above pond scum. It's tricky territory for a freelancer for two major reasons: press trips and poseurs.
Almost all newspapers and magazines still buying freelance will not pick up a writer's expenses, and the rates they pay don't come close to making up that shortfall. Freelancers are responsible for their own health insurance and other costs that are typically part of the benefits package for an employed journalist. Add in travel time and, as one writer put it, the profit margin shrivels like salted leeches in the sun.
If you don't have a trust fund to underwrite your travel writing specialty, two solutions beckon: write only about your own hometown (yawn!) or take press trips.
Like many freelancers, I started out as a general assignment reporter for a major metropolitan daily back in the days when budgets were reasonably flush. If I had to travel somewhere for a story, the editor would approve expenses and send me on my way.
In a perfect world, editors and publishers would cover travel costs. However, it's not a perfect world, and they don't. I make a reasonable return combining trips hosted by PR companies and tourist boards with assignments for which my expenses are reimbursed by publications.
The major reason I accept media jaunts is logistics. I have limited time in a given destination, so I rely on the experts for scheduling. During my free time, I can revisit places I need to see more in depth. Occasionally I've used the press trips as scouting missions for later returns on my own nickel.
Of course, the risk I run is that the hosts will show me only what they want me to see, something I try to minimize through advance research.
The purists scoff that a writer can't possibly be independent if traveling on someone else's money. Yet, in my days as a newspaper staffer, freebies abounded.
Business writers were guests for lunch in corporate dining rooms. Entertainment writers were feted at Hollywood galas. Fashion editors bought designer clothing at "discount." Automotive and electronics writers "tested" expensive equipment. And the sports guys – well, you know that life in the press box isn't spartan.
A good journalist does not slant a story based on who paid for what.
Travel writing is devalued partly because everyone thinks they can just dash off "what I did on my summer vacation" and send it to the local paper.
I'm a journalist specializing in travel. I try to inform, entertain and educate my readers about some aspect of the wider world, accurately reflecting the destination or concept. Geography matters, so there's information on land forms and weather. Weaving in history helps provide context for the present. Interviews with locals remind my readers that the human condition is universal.
As Mark Twain noted, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness." Most of my readers will never get to the places I've seen except through my words. I owe them honesty, good research and good writing.
However, much of the travel writing out there is written by amateurs – heavy on travel cliches and breathless epiphanies but light on reporting and fact-checking. These writers often think "the trip" is payment enough. Journalists in other fields usually don't have to worry about competing against hordes that are willing to do their jobs for free.
The well-established practice of "don't ask, don't tell" also creates problems. Most of the articles you read in newspapers and magazines can be traced back to sponsored travel. Every travel journalist I know has been on a press trip with a writer for a publication that forbids taking press trips. Editors don't ask, and writers don't tell.
I, for one, am tired of the subterfuge. Political reporters attend politicians' cocktail parties. Theater reviewers sit in box seats. Travel writers sometimes get discounted plane tickets and hotel rooms, free meals and more souvenir coffee mugs than will fit in the kitchen cupboard.
Travel writing is not like being on vacation. It's work any journalist would recognize, filled with reams of notes, countless digital photos and hours spent fact-checking every detail. Nothing replaces good old-fashioned reporting and editing – or a journalist's ethics.
I have been doing travel writing for the past 4-5 years, and been on numerous press trips, as well as travelled on my own dime and written about it. The number of people I know who *think* they do travel writing, and instead all they're looking for is freebies is overwhelming (in both realms, journalists and bloggers). However, I have to say that most of the recognized, well-established travel writers I know are extremely ethical. I recently did a trip sponsored by the Mexican Tourism Board and was INCREDIBLY impressed with my fellow international travel writers. Their ethics were bar none, especially when it came to disclosure (and the PR agency that organized said press trip was VERY clear on not demanding coverage AND requesting that if we wrote about it, we disclosed it was a sponsored trip).
I have taken to task many "travel writers" (and food writers) for not disclosing when a trip is sponsored or a meal is sponsored. The reality is, your credibility is your currency as a blogger. And being on someone else's payroll (or appearing to be) is something that may detract.
In any trip (or meal) I get comp'd, I always make sure to give my actual opinions. If my review is negative (which may lead to never get invited back again), then so be it. My ethics and my reputation are WAY more important than any press trip or free meal or free tickets to anything. I wish all my fellow bloggers and journalists thought the same and valued their ethics as much as I value mine. Not the case.
The key word is disclosure. I have been so fortunate and blessed to end up with the job I currently have (running TBEX and New Media Expo). This is a dream job for me which is why I can read and comment on your post at 9 pm on a Friday night. This isn't work for me.
Anyone who has ever interacted with the media which I have been able to do for many years knows just how much free stuff and perks "journalists" get and demand. Every tradeshow organizer knows you have to feed the reporters to put them in a good mood to give you an opportunity for coverage and hopefully good reviews.
Companies in every industry give them product and you have listed many more examples of similar perks that apply to every single vertical of the media world Susan.
There is nothing wrong with this and as you point out so well, it is mandatory for modern journalists and bloggers to receive these kinds of benefits in order to pay their bills.
What is also mandatory is disclosure. Every free trip, meal, hotel room, monogrammed gift bag you receive should be disclosed so you reader knows how you have been compensated and make their own judgement as to your objectivity.
Traditional media failed to do this at least for the decades I have been aware of and maybe even centuries. New media was born due to technology and a desire from both content creators and content consumers for something better.
We all owe it to our communities, readers, audiences or whatever you want to call them to do better. To disclose and do our very best to be objective.
The consumer is the always the ultimate judge when it comes to us earning and retaining their trust.
This writer has done a great job of explaining what I do, and how I feel about it. I earn about 25% of a modest living from travel writing, even though it takes up most of my time. Most magazines these days pay about the same as newspapers, which is often as low as 15 cents a word. If I get one 800-word story plus a few photos at $20 each in a monthly magazine, that isn't going to cover the cost of even one night's stay in a decent hotel. Yes, I accept press trips and sponsored travel, and in part I accept that I don't earn much money, but I get to take great trips. In return I write as responsibly, as powerfully, as honestly as I can. I write essays, fiction, memoir, non-fiction journalism, and interviews for serious magazines like THE SUN from Chapel Hill, and sometimes I also do travel writing. My travel writing isn't as deep or serious as my other work, but it's still writing I care about and work hard on. No travel cliches in my work!

HomeInhumanityOver 66% children malnourished in Plateau – Nutritionist
Over 66% children malnourished in Plateau – Nutritionist
by - Unknown on - 07:54:00
Moses Yusuf, the Chief Nutrition Officer for Plateau State, said on Saturday that 66 per cent of children in the state were malnourished.
Yusuf made the disclosure at the United Nation's Children Fund mid-year review meeting in Jos.
He explained that the figure was arrived at following the Standardised Monitoring of Relief and Transition survey conducted by the Federal Government in 2015.
Yusuf described as very "alarming" the level of malnutrition among children, adding that five out of 10 children in the state remain malnourished.
He said: "According to the SMART report of 2015, over 66 per cent of children in Plateau are totally malnourished.
"The reports shows that 43.7 suffer from stunting, 18.1 per cent are underweight, while 4.6 per cent are wasting.
"When you compare the 2014 with 2015 SMART survey, you will realise that the situation in Plateau is getting worse.
"So, the need for government and other relevant agencies to put all hands on deck so as to arrest this ugly trend before it gets out hand, becomes necessary."
Yusuf further explained that with the high level of stunting in the state, children were prone to kidney, skin, eye and other endemic diseases, which might be very expensive to treat.
He said: "Stunting is a very serious issue now in Nigeria and it is irreversible after 1000 days, meaning that it may be expensive treating it in the future.
"So, if we don't treat preventable diseases now, it may be a serious issue handling it in the near future."
Yusuf challenged mothers and parents in general to take the nutrition of their wards with utmost seriousness.
