Barbara Kruger, Untitled (Your body is a battleground), 1989
Courtesy The Broad Art Foundation, Los Angeles
Barbara Kruger (*1945) is an artist who works with pictures and words in the hopes of revealing and resisting socially ingrained assumptions about power: how it determines who lives and who dies, who is healed and who is housed, who speaks and who is silenced, who is visible and who is marginalized. Since the mid-1970s, she has juxtaposed her own texts with found images in her effort to expose the machinations of capitalism, politics and gender that often go unquestioned. Based in Los Angeles and New York, Kruger has been with the gallery since 1985, represented first by Galerie Monika Sprüth and later by Sprüth Magers.
The artist's oeuvre spans photomontages and complex video and sound projects, as well as installations in the public realm. Frequently working outside the bounds of the museum or art gallery, Kruger has always managed to find new ways to reach the public, from traditional pictorial formats to vast architectural installations that transform the walls, ceilings and floors of entire spaces. Her works may appear in magazines and newspapers, the kind of light boxes usually reserved for advertising, T-shirts, posters, shopping bags, billboards, LED displays, displays on buses and in train stations, and on building facades.
Kruger's texts—often in black or white lettering with brightly colored backgrounds, most often red—can become image elements in their own right. They take the form of evocative statements ("I shop therefore I am," "Your body is a battleground," "We don't need another hero"), questions ("Do I have to give up me to be loved by you?"; "Who will write the history of tears?") and suggestive declarations ("Put your money where your mouth is"; "You are not yourself"). When words pictures appear together, the texts dismantle the found image's pictorial plane, making room for an abundance of echoes, effects, contradictions and implications.
Kruger's emphatically visual conceptual practice draws on the aesthetics of graphic design and magazines (a field in which she briefly worked early in her career), 1970s punk posters and album covers. It plays with ideas informing the language-based conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s, including those underpinning text and image works by artists such as John Baldessari, Jenny Holzer and Ed Ruscha, and it adds to the art historical legacy of German Dadaism and Soviet agitprop art by El Lissitzky and Aleksander Rodchenko. Perhaps the biggest difference between Kruger and her predecessors is her strategy of subversive mimicry: Kruger uses the dominant advertising media of late capitalist consumer society to criticize its patriarchal structures, its hierarchies and dynamics, effectively supplanting the innate purposes of these media with her own singular project.
Her works are political without trying to persuade viewers to adopt any particular system or ideology. Instead they invoke and rattle positions viewers might take innately on account of their gender, social class, nationality, religion, or age, confronting them with often repressed feelings of powerlessness, ignorance, anger, fear, or greed. They exploit the immediacy of images and texts, and the unconscious and semi-conscious reactions evoked in the beholder, and they upend social stereotypes by forcing viewers to consider them in a new light. They are as seductive as successful advertising and as effective as propaganda. Ultimately Kruger subverts systems of cultural representation, turning it back on itself.

Push the Limits
Fondazione Merz, Turin
Through January 31, 2021
The title PUSH THE LIMITS immediately declares the determination to investigate the ability of art constantly to set itself at the edge, to shift the axis of thought, perception and discourse, introducing new elements into the system.
Without forcing, without finalism and with no superfluous elements that are not those of the thinking and creativity of contemporary art itself, PUSH THE LIMITS illustrates a process of striving to find a language that is aware and capable of shedding light on the present.

Presented in conjunction with the Feminist Art Coalition (FAC), a nationwide effort involving more than 50 museums committed to social justice and structural change, this exhibition highlights the diverse and experimental practices of women artists spanning some 50 years through a selection of paintings, sculptures, moving image works, artists' books, and materials from the archives.
Some Day is Now: Women, Art & Social Change
New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT
Some Day is Now features over twenty artists including Yoko Ono, Jenny Holzer, and the Guerrilla Girls, who combine language, text, and image to express hope, enact change, raise awareness, and give voice to their beliefs. Installed with historic ephemera from the women's suffrage movement, and employing similarly direct and impactful visual strategies, their works communicate words of action and empowerment for women as well as people of all genders, races, and ethnicities.

Contemporary Women Artists and the Politics of Scale
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia
Through April 11, 2021
Taking Space: Contemporary Women Artists and the Politics of Scale examines the approaches of women artists for whom space is a critical feature of their work, whether they take the space on a wall, the real estate of a room through sculpture and installation, engage seriality as a spatial visual practice, cast a wide legacy in art history or claim the space of their body. This exhibition invites viewers to consider how size and repetition can be interpreted as political gestures in the practices of many women artists.

Eau de Cologne began as a series of exhibitions and three publications, organized by Monika Sprüth between 1985 and 1989, which sought to create a new dialogue around contemporary art. The exhibitions introduced a select group of young women artists, each of whom individually represented powerful attitudes and practices.
September 16, 2017–January 20, 2018
Sprüth Magers presents FOREVER, a new site-specific work by Barbara Kruger. For this installation, which occupies all four walls and the floor of the Berlin gallery's main exhibition space, the artist has created one of her immersive room-wraps and several new vinyl works. Their boldly designed textual statements on the nature of truth, power, belief and doubt embody the distinctive visual language that Kruger has developed over the course of her forty-year career.

The group show Eau de Cologne at Sprüth Magers in Los Angeles features work from the late 1970s to 2016 by Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman and Rosemarie Trockel. The exhibition at Sprüth Magers' recently-opened Los Angeles gallery is a follow–up to its predecessor in Berlin last year. It sheds light on key topics in these artists' works, but also the specific history of the gallery and its connection to these important female figures of an art that subtly addresses women's roles in very different ways.
Rosemarie Trockel, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler
September 17–October 21, 2015
This group exhibition at Sprüth Magers Berlin shows works from the early 1980s to 2015 by Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman and Rosemarie Trockel. These five artists have been working with Monika Sprüth since the foundation of her gallery in Cologne in the early 1980s and have been closely connected to the gallery ever since.
The Globe Shrinks

Uneasy Angel / Imagine Los Angeles is a thematic exhibition comprising the creative production of contemporary artists, writers, and filmmakers living and working in Los Angeles. In light of Umberto Eco's and Jean Baudrillard's notion of hyperreality, the exhibition perceives Los Angeles as just such a place—with unclear boundaries separating reality and the imaginary.
In her solo exhibition Barbara Kruger shows the film installation TWELVE, in which the viewer becomes an observer and involuntary participant in twelve conversations.

A falácia do termo médio não distribuído é uma falácia formal cometida quando o termo médio das premissas de um silogismo categórico não é distribuído na premissa menor nem na premissa maior. Entende-se como um termo não distribuído quando há elementos de sua classe que não são afetados pela proposição. Essa falácia possui caráter silogístico.

Formulação Clássica
Nos silogismos clássicos, todas as proposições consistem em dois termos. Cada proposição, por sua vez, possui uma das quatro possíveis distribuições de termos. São elas das formas: "A" (todo), "E" (nenhum), "I" (algum) ou "O" (algum não). O primeiro termo é distribuído nas sentenças da forma A; o segundo termo é distribuído nas sentenças da forma O; ambos são distribuídos nas sentenças da forma E; e nenhum dos termos é distribuído em sentenças da forma I.

A falácia do termo médio não distribuído ocorre quando o termo que liga as duas premissas não abrange toda a classe a qual pertence.

Neste exemplo, a distribuição está em negrito:

Todo Z é B
Todo y é B
Portanto, todo y é Z

B é o termo comum entre as duas premissas (o termo médio), mas em nenhum momento ele é distribuído, portanto, esse silogismo é inválido.

Outra regra da lógica pertinente ao assunto enuncia que todo termo distribuído na conclusão deve ser distribuído em ao menos uma das premissas.

Todo Z é B
Algum Y é Z
Portanto, todo Y é B

O termo médio – Z – é distribuído, porém, Y é distribuído na conclusão e não em uma premissa. Por esse motivo tal silogismo é inválido.

Padrão
A falácia do termo médio não distribuído possui a seguinte forma:

Todo Z é B
Y é B
Portanto, Y é Z

Nesse argumento, B é o termo médio e não é distribuído na premissa maior "Todo Z é B".

Pode ser ou pode não ser o caso de que "Todo Z é B", mas isso é irrelevante para a conclusão. O que é relevante é quando pode-se afirmar que "Todo B é Z", situação desconsiderada no argumento. Essa falácia é semelhante a afirmar o consequente e negar o antecedente. Entretanto, ela pode ser corrigida com a troca dos termos na conclusão ou na primeira co-premissa. É bem verdade que na perspectiva da Lógica de primeira ordem, todos os casos de falácia do termo médio não distribuído são, de fato, exemplos de afirmação do consequente ou negação do antecedente, dependendo da estrutura do argumento falacioso.

Exemplos
Por exemplo:

Todos os estudantes carregam mochilas.
Meu avô carrega uma mochila.
Portanto, meu avô é um estudante.

Todos os estudantes carregam mochilas.
Meu avô carrega uma mochila.
Toda pessoa que carrega uma mochila é um estudante.
Portanto, meu avô é um estudante.

O termo médio é aquele que aparece em ambas premissas – nesse caso, é a classe dos carregadores de mochila. Não está distribuído porque nenhum de seus usos aplica-se a todos os carregadores de mochila. Portanto, não pode ser usado para interligar "estudantes" e "meu avô" – ambos poderiam ser divisões separadas e desconectadas da classe dos carregadores de mochila. Perceba abaixo como "carrega uma mochila" é de fato não distribuído:

avô é alguém que carrega uma mochila; estudante é alguém que carrega uma mochila

A estrutura desse exemplo resulta especificamente em afirmar o consequente.

No entanto, se as duas últimas proposições fossem trocadas, o silogismo se tornaria válido:

Todos os estudantes carregam mochilas.
Meu avô é um estudante.
Portanto, meu avô carrega uma mochila.

Nesse caso, o termo médio é a classe dos estudantes e seu primeiro uso refere-se claramente a "todos os estudantes". Dessa maneira, esse termo é distribuído por toda sua classe e pode, portanto, ser usado para interligar os outros dois termos (carregadores de mochila e meu avô). Novamente, note que "estudante" é distribuído:

avô é um estudante e, portanto, carrega uma mochila

Extreme Heat, Driven By Climate Change, Threatens Postal Workers
Extreme heat, driven by climate change, is setting records across the globe. Combinations of high heat and humidity in the American South and Southwest continued this week and was expected to move north and east into the eastern U.S. and High Plains where they could be exacerbated by elevated humidity caused by corn crops. The combination of heat and humidity drove heat indexes well into triple digits, making it "really dangerous to spend any time outdoors in, unless you're standing under a cool waterfall somewhere," Greg Carbin, the chief of the forecast operations branch at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Weather Prediction Center, told the Times. The extreme heat is especially dangerous for U.S. Postal Service workers, which has failed to take adequate steps to protect mail carriers in dangerous temperatures after multiple hyperthermia deaths, according to Huffington Post reporting. Climate change is also fueling the Siberian heatwave that has pushed temperatures there over 100 degrees. A study released Wednesday by a team of international scientists found climate change made the region's prolonged heatwave 600-times more likely, and would have been "effectively impossible without human influence," lead author Andrew Ciavarella, a scientist at the UK Met Office told the AP.

Here at South Crescent Construction, we provide roofing solutions for new and existing residential buildings, including repairs, replacement, and new construction installation in Columbia, South Columbia and all the surrounding communities.
Certain parts of your roof, like the flashing around your vents and chimney, wear out faster than the roofing material. When this happens, your roof can develop leaks, leading to water damage. By having your roof regularly inspected and repaired, you can help stop roof leaks before they happen.
If your roof develops a leak after a storm or because of normal wear and tear, our roofing professionals in West Columbia can diagnose and repair the leak before it becomes a costly roof replacement. When we come out to your home to perform a roofing repair, we will assess and repair the damage and we'll locate the cause and repair it. By repairing the cause as well as the damage, we are helping to ensure that your roof performs up to your expectations.
Each roofing material has its own expected useful life. Shingles can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years. Metal roofs last between 40 and 50 years, when properly maintained. Concrete tile roofs can last up to 50 years, and slate can last more than 100 years when properly maintained. As your roof ages, it will need periodic maintenance in order to reach its maximum useful life. If the roof is not maintained, it may need to be replaced much sooner than expected.
Here at South Crescent Construction, our professional roofers can replace your roof with the same type of material that you currently have, or we can recommend a new roofing system that better meets your needs and budget.
If you are building a new home, garage, or other type of building, we can install your new roof. We offer complete roofing systems from some of the most well-known and trusted brands, including CertainTeed, IKO, Owens Corning, Tamko, and Timberland GAF.
The most popular roofing choice for most homeowners is asphalt shingle, which comes in a variety of colors and styles. Popular styles include 3-tab traditional shingles and architectural shingles. Three-tab traditional shingles are flat while architectural shingles have different depths, which are more eye-catching and can increase your home's curb appeal. We also offer metal roofs, metal shingles, and glass seal shingles.

The community consists of women living the monastic tradition of a Christ-centered prayer life for the monastic members.
In 1980, a new chapel was begun at St. Eugene's Hermitage. This chapel was to incorporate a cupola from the belltower of Holy Trinity Cathedral in San Francisco, California. Three years later, Mother Barbara (Johnson), the former abbess of Holy Assumption Monastery, took up residence with a number of nuns at St. Eugene's Hermitage. This sisterhood was called the Community of the Holy Cross. Work on the chapel was completed in 1988, and was consecrated in memory of St. Sergius of Radonezh. Coincidentally, the completion was in the same year as the Milennium of Russian Orthodoxy.
After 13 years of monastic struggle at St. Eugene's Hermitage, the Community of the Holy Cross moved to Santa Rosa, and were placed under the patronage of Our Lady of Kazan. Soon after, the newly-founded Monastery of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco moved into St. Eugene's Hermitage.

Knowing the right minerals and vitamins your body should take each day is very important to keeping yourself in a healthy state. The truth is, most people don't know the vitamins and minerals that are important, nor how get the proper ones. The following advice will help you determine which supplements are most important for you.
Make certain you are getting enough vitamins to allow your body to recover from working out. You'll recover faster, nourish your muscles, and burn more fat.
Minerals and vitamins often affect each other so it's important to know how each nutrient is best absorbed by the body. Calcium and iron do not mix that well. If you take an iron supplement, avoid ingesting dairy for at least half an hour before or afterwards.
The first step to proper nutrition is eating a balanced, healthy, whole foods diet. Target seven servings of vegetables and fruits, along with some protein in small amounts. If you can't do this, you should try supplements to get some your vitamins and minerals.
Make your diet more healthier and balanced by getting the proper amount of minerals and vitamins each day. You should eat fruits and veggies at least five times a day. You should also have adequate amounts of lean protein. If you can't do this, add vitamins and minerals to your day.
Calcium facilitated bone strength. In order for the body to be able to readily absorb calcium, your body must have ample levels of vitamin D. This vitamin can be obtained through food, supplements and sunlight. Any way you get vitamin D, it'll help you take in calcium efficiently.
Supplements that contain fat should be taken with food, so schedule those doses around mealtime. Several vitamins, including E, K, and A are best absorbed by your body when taken with a meal. They work their best when you've eaten fatty foods.
Calcium facilitated bone strength. You need to have lots of vitamin D to absorb calcium, though. You can get vitamin D through food, of course, as well as supplements or just spending time in the sun. Each of these things is a good way to make sure your body will absorb calcium.
Iron is the key mineral to helping build healthy red blood cells. This helps to transport oxygen through the body. Women will require a higher dose of iron. If you suffer from fatigue, you may need to have an iron deficiency.
Asparagus, dairy products, and bananas are rich sources of riboflavin. Deficiency can cause a host of symptoms, including decreased red blood cell counts and hemoglobin content, cracked lips and scaly skin. Patients who get enough riboflavin may face a decreased risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome, cancer, anemia, and cataracts.
Sun and milk represent two great sources of vitamin D. If you aren't a sun person or milk drinker, a Vitamin D supplement may be for you. This vitamin helps protect bones from becoming brittle.
Though most people want to eat healthy, they don't have the money to do so. But, a good way to get thing healthier things we want into our bodies is through the help of vitamins and minerals. These things are not all that expensive, and some people say they feel healthier by taking them regularly.
Vitamin A is great for reducing wrinkles and red spots. Do not exceed the RDA of 2300 IU because large quantities can be toxic. A great way to get vitamin A would be through squash, carrots, and dark leafy greens.
If you've wondered if taking your children's gummy supplements would help you, you'll need to know that you may need to take more than one at a time. One gummy vitamin will not do the trick. Determine the right nutrition for you and multiply accordingly. Don't err on the side of excess as this can be detrimental.
Your body needs vitamins and nutrients daily in order to stay healthy. Health problems start arising if your body is vitamin deficient in certain ways. Applying your newly acquired understanding of supplements should change your life for the better.
Are you confused about how to improve your health? Do you feel less-than-ideal but are unsure of how to improve? This article can help you move forward.
Sun and milk represent two great sources of vitamin D. Take a supplement if you do not prefer milk. This vitamin is good for keeping your bones from becoming brittle, so they don't break as easily.
Iron is crucial to red blood cell production. These red blood cells deliver oxygen through your system. Women need larger doses of iron than men, and many vitamin supplements are formulated specifically for women with higher concentrations of iron. If you're tired and lethargic, you may lack iron.
Two of the best sources for vitamin D are exposure to the sun and milk. If you don't care for milk or don't get any sun, try taking a vitamin D supplement. This will keep your bones strong.
If you happen to be looking for a lifestyle change to promote better health during these times where medical costs are through the roof whether insured or not, try adding some vitamins and minerals to your daily routines. The addition of vitamins to an already healthy diet maximizes health for less money than a visit to a physician.
Supplements are very important in today's world. A lot of food you purchase from a supermarket are over-processed, meaning they don't contain the nutrients they originally had. Taking a good, natural multivitamin will replace what your food might be lacking.
When you have gone through menopause, don't take prenatal vitamins. These vitamins are often taken by non-pregnant women for improved hair and nail growth. This is not a great idea for postmenopausal women because they are typically too high in iron.
Do you like your child's gummy vitamins? You may need more than one. Adults need more vitamins and minerals than kids, so you'll need more than one. Although, you should still use caution because taking more than the intended amount could be harmful.
Since today it is much easier to eat cheap fast foods because of the poor economy, many people fail to get the proper vitamins and minerals that our bodies requires each day. Essential vitamins and minerals not only boost your immune system, they can also boost your energy levels.
Use caution when it comes to supplements. While supplements can be helpful, it is possible to overdose. This occurs when too many are taken, which is dangerous. The side effects can be uncomfortable or lethal.
Riboflavin and Vitamin B2 are usually found in green beans, asparagus, popcorn and bananas. If you don't get enough vitamin B2, you could experience scaly sin, dry lips and even lowered red blood cells. This nutrient also stops cancer, carpal tunnel, and anemia.
Take calcium carbonate with your meals. While calcium citrate can be taken on an empty stomach, calcium carbonate needs to be taken with food. If you don't eat, there is really no point in taking the supplement as it can't be absorbed.
B12 absorption varies from person to person. Taking B12 may help; however, some people cannot properly absorb vitamin B12. You should get tested every year to make sure you have good B12 levels, and if they are low you may want to get a shot.
It's not uncommon for most people want to eat foods that have the best nutrients in them, but many of those types of foods an be costly. When you take minerals and vitamins, you will be helping yourself to rid the fats from your system. It will also let you digest foods that have a bunch of chemicals in it that can make you unhealthy.
Eat only vegetables which have been lightly cooked or are raw. Cooking often depletes food of vitamins. If you want to cook veggies, steam them. Flash frozen vegetables contain their high vitamin content.
Are you aware that a diet low in magnesium, vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acid may cause depression? Omega-3 is fast becoming the most popular supplement around. This particular item actually promotes a healthy mind as well as overall organ performance. Magnesium is one supplement that helps keep you calm.
When you don't feel great, you can feel alone in a sea of despair. There are many different solutions, though. This information will certainly be of benefit to you. Best of luck to you!
Vitamin A is crucial for your body. It keeps your immune system healthy, helps out your eyes, keeps you looking younger and cuts back on your chances of heart disease. Taking too much of it, however, is toxic. The recommended dose is 2300 IUs a day. Carrots are one of the best sources for Vitamin A.
How do you feel today? Are you full of energy, or are those the days gone by? Is it easy to step out of bed? Is your body fit and strong? If you don't feel that you are completely healthy, then think about minerals and vitamins. We have all the tips you need below.
Vitamins and minerals must be synthesized to be utilized by the body. For example, calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb iron. Try to avoid dairy or a calcium supplement within half an hour of taking iron.
Your bones need calcium to stay strong. You need to have lots of vitamin D to absorb calcium, though. You can get out in the sun, take a supplement or eat a fortified food. All of these things allow your body to take in more calcium.
A lot of us have body aches but don't know why we do. Before going to the doctor, try a supplement regimen that is packed with vitamins. Vitamin E is a great vitamin to start out with because it is safe and can help reduce the amount of toxins in your body.
Iron is great for maintenance of red blood cells. These cells are what transports oxygen in your body. Women will require a higher dose of iron. You may be iron deficient if you feel exhausted or have trouble breathing.
Vitamins and minerals, as part of a healthy diet, can help you maintain better health. Better health can save on those medical costs, too. Getting the proper amount of vitamins and minerals can help stave off serious medical conditions as well as improve your quality of life in general.
Your body cannot always absorb nutrients as-is. Sometimes it need a little help from other nutrients. You can consider the example of iron not being easily absorbed by the body when you are also supplementing your diet with calcium. Therefore, avoid dairy products, antacids and calcium supplements for at least 30 minutes.
Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is found in popcorn, asparagus, bananas, green beans, and dairy products. A lower red blood cell count, scaly skin, and cracks on the lips can signal a deficiency of vitamin B2. This nutrient also stops cancer, carpal tunnel, and anemia.
We often try to eat healthy, but our budgets often make it difficult to do so. Adding supplements to your diet helps to counteract the harmful effects of fats, preservatives, and other harmful substances.
Drinking milk and mild sun exposure can help a person get more vitamin D. If you do not drink milk or spend time outdoors, you may need to take a vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D helps your bones to be protected, while stopping them from getting brittle on you.
It's never been more important to receive the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and nutrients. Many of the items in a grocery store are over-processed, removing many of the nutrients contained in the original ingredients. Taking a good, natural multivitamin will replace what your food might be lacking.
Do not take any prenatal vitamins if you are already past the age of menopause. Some women think it's a good idea to take them to grow their nails and hair. For post-menopausal women, these vitamins contain too much iron.

This wonderful vitamin helps with acne, stomach issues, treats colds, and so much more. It can also help anyone who has ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia.
Iron is great for maintenance of red blood cells. These cells are most important; they carry oxygen to each cell in your body. Women need larger doses of iron than men, and many vitamin supplements are formulated specifically for women with higher concentrations of iron. If you are feeling exhausted or having trouble breathing, you may not be getting enough iron.
Increase your manganese intake. This helps bones grow and heal. It also helps wounds heal. This mineral boosts your carbohydarte, protein and cholesterol metabolisms. This substance can be found in black and green teas, whole grains, beans and almonds. You can find manganese supplements on the Internet or in stores where vitamins are sold.

Eat only raw or steamed veggies. Try to remember that the best ways to consume this is uncooked or lightly steamed. If they are cooked any longer, the nutritional value will simply be null and void as the vitamins are cooked away. Steaming vegetables will increase the heat without eliminating the nutrients. Vegetables that have been flash frozen contain high levels of vitamins as well as long as you do not cook them too long.

On-chain data from Santiment suggests that XRP remains "suppressed" at its present price and, therefore, has the potential to grow. Recent volatility in the crypto market caused short-term price extremes, pushing the XRP price to the brink of the low of $0.57.
In terms of on-chain analytics, Santiment's ''strong and oversold'' indicates that XRP is showing signs of having an ''undervalued'' price in comparison to its fundamentals. XRP was marginally up at $0.83 as of press time.

When the price of an asset has decreased abruptly and to a level below where its true value resides, it is said to be oversold. This usually happens as a result of overreaction in the market or panic selling. Assets that have witnessed large decreases over a short period are often considered to be oversold in this instance.

XRP began this year trading at $0.21 after a drastic drop to the low of $0.16 in December 2020 when the SEC announced its lawsuit against Ripple. According to the SEC lawsuit, Ripple began raising funds in 2013 by selling unregistered securities of digital assets known as XRP.
Since then, it has been a challenging road for the cross-border token as crypto exchanges have delisted the XRP token. Despite these setbacks, Ripple seems undeterred, highlighting the "significant growth and traction of ODL" in its Q3 report.
The year 2021 has seen significant partnerships as Ripple's on-demand liquidity (ODL) solutions expanded into the Middle East. In November, Ripple announced its partnership with the Republic of Palau to explore the country's first national digital currency using the XRPL. The $250 million "Creator Fund" was launched to rope in NFT creators to XRP Ledger, which may result in the onboarding of new users.
Investors await a positive outcome on the XRP price in the aftermath of the SEC lawsuit, which Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse states would likely conclude by next year.

The Billion Year Archive
Humanity's Gift to the Future
Sponsor this Mission →
The Billion Year Archive™ is an Arch Mission Foundation initiative that seeks to build a solar-system scale archive of human civilization that will last for at least billions of years.
The Billion Year Archive is the largest footprint and longest duration engineering project in human history. It is also the first practical initiative with potential to guarantee that our species and civilization will never be lost.
The more locations that Arch Libraries that are sent to, the greater the probability that at least some of them will survive to be discovered in the distant future.
Long after the Pyramids have turned to dust, and no matter what transpires on Earth, The Billion Year Archive will remain.
The Billion Year Archive is comprised of ultra long-term storage devices called Arch™ Libraries (pronounced "Arks").
Arch Libraries are the most durable records of human civilization ever built. Using new technologies, they preserve more knowledge for more time, than anything ever created.
Arch Libraries are being designed in a variety of form factors to persist on Earth, as well as in other locations across our solar system and beyond.
The Billion Year Archive initiative is the primary objective of the Arch Mission's ongoing series of missions around the solar system.
The first installment was in 2018, when the Arch Mission and SpaceX delivered Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy on a 14B year durability disc of quartz, in the glove compartment of Elon Musk's Tesla. It is now orbiting the Sun for at least 30 million years.
The second installment was inauguration of a ring orbital archives around planet Earth, in which the Arch Mission and SpaceChain delivered the Wikipedia in low-earth orbit in October of 2018.
The next big installment is the opening of the Lunar Library,™ starting with a 30 million page backup of civilization, that is landing on the Moon with SpaceIL in April of 2019.
The Billion Year Archive is humanity's gift to the future, and like the Encyclopedia Galactica, it will never be completed.
There will always be more to learn, chronicle and share as our civilization extends its footprints and handprints to the stars.
We invite and need your support and contributions. Join us to preserve, connect and share the memories and heritage of our species.

Atul Basu (22 February 1898 – 10 July 1977) was an Indian painter. He was an expert in portraying realistic landscapes, portraits and village scenery. He used oil colors for painting.

Early life and education
Atul was born in 1898 at Mymensingh in the then Bengal Presidency. He spent his childhood in Mymensingh town. He started his primary education in the National Council of Education, Mymensingh branch. Then he studied in Jubilee Art Academy of Kolkata. The syllabus of this academy was not same as other academies.

A sketch of the educationist Asutosh Mukherjee, 'Bengal Tiger', won Bose a scholarship from the University of Calcutta to study art at the Royal Academy in London from 1924 to 1926. While studying there, Bose was influenced by the post-impressionist Walter Sickert. He refused an invitation to help Mukul Dey decorate the pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition.

Career
Bose helped Hemen Majumdar to establish Indian Academy of Art in 1919. He was the founder member of the academy and he had also been the principal of the Government Art School, Calcutta during 1945–1948. Afterwards he became the director of the Government College of Art & Craft.

Bose painted portraits from the original collections at the Windsor Castle and the Buckingham Palace under the commission of the Indian government. His notable works include Sphinx (oil on plywood) and Self Portrait (1945).

In 1921, Bose along with Bhabani Charan Laha set up Indian School of Oriental Art.

Rabindra Bharati University, Calcutta honored Bose with a D.Litt degree in 1970.

Object detection is considered one of the most challenging problems in this field of computer vision, as it involves the combination of object classification and object localization within a scene. Recently, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been demonstrated to achieve superior object detection performance compared to other approaches, with YOLOv2 (an improved You Only Look Once model) being one of the state-of-the-art in DNN-based object detection methods in terms of both speed and accuracy. Although YOLOv2 can achieve real-time performance on a powerful GPU, it still remains very challenging for leveraging this approach for real-time object detection in video on embedded computing devices with limited computational power and limited memory. In this paper, we propose a new framework called Fast YOLO, a fast You Only Look Once framework which accelerates YOLOv2 to be able to perform object detection in video on embedded devices in a real-time manner. First, we leverage the evolutionary deep intelligence framework to evolve the YOLOv2 network architecture and produce an optimized architecture (referred to as O-YOLOv2 here) that has 2.8X fewer parameters with just a ~2% IOU drop. To further reduce power consumption on embedded devices while maintaining performance, a motion-adaptive inference method is introduced into the proposed Fast YOLO framework to reduce the frequency of deep inference with O-YOLOv2 based on temporal motion characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed Fast YOLO framework can reduce the number of deep inferences by an average of 38.13%, and an average speedup of ~3.3X for objection detection in video compared to the original YOLOv2, leading Fast YOLO to run an average of ~18FPS on a Nvidia Jetson TX1 embedded system.


Home | Events | Trump's Economy: Boom or Bust?
Is the US economy headed for a boom or bust under the Trump administration? Now almost 90 days into his presidency, Donald Trump promised healthcare reform, big tax cuts, immigration restrictions, and a protectionist approach to creating new domestic jobs. The equities markets have shown strong gains since the election, but investors are nervous: Congress is a mess, and the world seems more and more chaotic. The Fed appears set on raising interest rates and bringing an end to its asset-buying spree, which may cause heartburn for debt-laden businesses and individuals.
What does it mean for the US economy in the new Trump era? We invite you to join us for a seminar and panel discussion to make sense of it all. Speakers include Dr. Bob Murphy from Texas Tech University, Dr. Yuri Maltsev from Carthage College, and Jeff Deist from the Mises Institute.
7:00 p.m. Yuri Maltsev "Trump and Russia"
7:20 p.m. Bob Murphy "Austrians, the Chicago School, and the Trump Economy"

Aaaahhh. My feet are loving this, and after the recent beating they took, they deserve it. Hanging around the town today and killing time at Dave's Hostel with Mo, Camel, Nails, Dances with Scarf, and Condor. The sky is clear, and the sun is shining–we're back to shorts and t-shirt weather. "The friendliest town on the AT" is a great place to spend a zero with friends. I hope to be back here in another month for the legendary Trail Days Festival!


Pitching is a fascinating aspect of the game of baseball. Talent is required, but a lot of the results that come after the ball leaves the pitcher's hand are luck. Defense plays an important role as well. Rosters are not constructed in the same way, so defense isn't uniform accross the league. Many pitchers that don't miss many bats need the help of the defense behind them in order to get solid results. Other pitchers, such as Matt Harvey, can rely on themselves a little more due to their ability to strike out more batters. I decided to look at which pitchers have been fortunate in 2013 and the ones whose fate has been a little less positive. I took xFIP and subtracted ERA from it to get my data. The range was from 2.1 to -1.85.
Jeff Locke – J.P. Breen has a good post up about how fortunate Locke has been to pitch with the Pittsburgh Pirates defense behind him. He had the largest gap in xFIP and ERA of anyone in the 2013 sample at 2.10. His ERA currently sits at 2.15 while xFIP sees him at 4.25. While he does pitch in front of a very good defense he has also been very lucky regarding the home-run ball. His HR/FB rate currently sits at 6.7%. I'd bet on that regressing to at least the 10% xFIP uses in the second half. Luckily for him, the defense isn't going anywhere.
Travis Wood – Wood essentially came out of career purgatory for the 2013 campaign. After spending most of his career being yo-yoed back and forth between AAA and the bigs he put together a solid first half. Currently his xFIP is 1.61 points higher than his ERA. Like Locke, Wood also has seen his HR/FB rate decrease dramatically this season to 5.7%. While that looks extremely low he posted HR/FB percentages of 6.3% and 6.7% in 2010 and 2011 before it jumped to 12.7% last season. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I lean towards his home-run rate settling in closer to 12.7% than I do the rates in other seasons. He might have a knack for keeping the ball in the park though. The Cubs defense is actually quite good according to their UZR so that also helps Wood keep his stats much lower than his peripherals. I'm interested to see how he fares in the 2nd half.
Mike Leake – Leake's put together another Mike Leake-type season. His ERA is currently at 2.69, which will definitely regress to his career norms. Unlike the two pitchers above we have plenty of Major League data on Leake. His LOB% is at a career high along with a HR/FB that would be the best of his career. Leake's 2013 campaign looks pretty similar to his 2011 except he is striking out less batters while also getting a few more fly balls. Leake is hurt by his home park and the Great American's effect on his ability to keep balls in the yard is pretty incredible. His HR/FB rate at home is 5% higher than it is away, but this season the split is nearly 13 percentage points. His 4.6% HR/FB rate away from home this year should regress to settle a little closer to his career split of 11.0%.
I won't go straight down the list of the unluckiest because the first few names are, to put it mildly, not very good pitchers currently. Those pitchers were: Wade Davis, Joe Blanton, and Edinson Volquez.
Rick Porcello – Porcello checked in at number 3 on the unluckiest pitchers. His xFIP sits at 3.07 compared to his 4.80 ERA. He's seemingly made a habit out of his peripherals constantly being much better than the stats that show in their traditional form. It's no secret that the Tigers are not very good on defense. Porcello has shown some signs of life this season with his K% trending up while his BB% is trending down a tad. He's gotten a little unlucky with his HR/FB% this season (15.7%) compared with his career average coming into 2013 (11.4%). Porcello does get a ton of groundballs though, and it's likely we'll always consider him "unlucky" as long as he has the Tigers defense behind him.
Edwin Jackson – Jackson is an interesting case to me. Every year I'll watch him have a few electric games and expect him to finally make a jump into a more consistent front of the rotation of the starter, but it never happens. Jackson is simply who he is at this point. This season his xFIP is 3.74 compared to his ERA of 5.11. The first thing I noticed was his LOB%; currently at 62.3% this season compared with 70.8% in his career. His batted-ball profile is very strange. He's actually getting more groundballs than any time in his career. He has come around of late, so maybe his luck is turning more in his favor.
Matt Cain – Cain's struggles have been well documented this season, by many people including Fangraphs' own Eno Sarris. Cain's ERA is currently1.16 points worse than his xFIP. Unlike Porcello, Cain has made a career out of always outperforming his peripheral stats. Eno's piece can explain the reasoning on why 2013 has been somewhat of a bust for Cain infinitely better than I would be able to. The Giants continue to insist that Cain is healthy, so unless something changes it's safe to assume they'll keep running him out there every fifth day. Hopefully adjustments can be made to get back his career norms.
Adam Wainwright has been absolutely phenomenal this season. If you prefer old school stats: 12-5, 2.30 ERA, with an 8.06 K/9 ratio. If you prefer advanced statistics, he looks even better: 2.12 FIP to go along with a 2.69 xFIP. My favorite stat about his season so far though is his K/BB ratio which in mid July now stands at a staggering 9. For every 9 strikeouts he walks 1 batter. You don't need me to tell you how good that is. The pitcher nearest his efficiency is Cliff Lee and he isn't even close. I decided to compare Adam Wainwright's impeccable ratio to some of the greatest pitchers in the past 20 years. I'll take their best season (regarding K/BB) and see how it stacks up to the masterful performance Wainwright is putting up this season.
Adam Wainwright is having a phenomenal year. His 9.00 K/BB is surpassed only by Cliff Lee's and Curt Schilling's most efficient seasons, respectively. I'm not really counting Smoltz, due to his best K/BB ratio coming as a closer with only 60+ innings pitched. Here are the following seasons since 1900 where someone had a K/BB greater than or equal to 9.
That's it. Adam Wainwright is on pace to have the 4th best season since 1900 in regards to strikeouts-to-walks. Three pitchers have accomplished this feat in last 113 years. It's hard to fully recognize in the moment, but you truly are witnessing greatness when watching Adam Wainwright go to work this season.
What is making him this successful?
For one thing, control is the last aspect of a pitcher's game to return after Tommy John. Wainwright had a mediocre season in 2012. (his words, not mine) This season the control is completely back to match the velocity. In a podcast visit with Matthew Berry and Nate Ravtiz, he credited his efficiency to first-pitch strikes. He said he made a concerted effort to get ahead, because batters gradually get statistically worse the further down in the count they get. Adam Wainwright does a great job of getting ahead; according to FanGraphs he throws a first pitch strike 65.6% of the time. That 65.6% is the best for starting pitchers in the MLB. Wainwright's recipe seems pretty simple once you look at the data: get ahead early then force hitters to chase out of the zone. He also leads the majors in O-Swing% (swings at pitches out of the zone) with a 38.2% rate.
How Hard Is It To Be Successful Without Drawing Walks?
Yasiel Puig has been in the news a lot lately. He's had phenomenal start to his career, well aside from the Diamondbacks' catcher Miguel Montero hating him. He's also had most of his success without drawing many walks, which inevitably has sent him sliding down a mountain into inevitable comparison to known hacker Jeff Francouer. Francouer never tore up the minors the way Puig did, but it's somewhat of a fair comparison due to how much fanfare Frenchy had after such a quick start to an otherwise poor career. As Jeff Sullivan from FanGraphs noted, the league is beginning to adjust to Puig, now he has prove he can counter those adjustments.
Fangraphs lists the BB% of 7% to be below average, 5.5% is poor, and 4% and lower is awful. Puig's current BB% in the majors after 36 games is 4.5%. He did post a 9% walk rate in AA this year before his call up, so there's a little reason to believe he is capable of being more patient than he is right now. I'll take a look at some guys who had solid careers while also sustaining low walk rates. I took the leader-board at FanGraphs, sorted for year 2000-2013, removed everyone with a walk rate north of 8%, and removed everyone with an ISO (isolated power) below .175. The following players have compiled 15 fWAR since 2000 (players in bold are still active).
That isn't very many names. Of the 202 position players that accumulated 15 fWAR from 2000-2013 only 58 or 28.7% had walk rates less than or equal to 8%. Adam Jones fell slightly below on a few parameters, but for comparison's sake he felt pretty accurate. Here is Yasiel Puig at the moment. I included his AA stats and his projections for the rest of the season.
We've noticed you can be successful without walks, but it isn't easy. All of the players from the first table were all good to phenomenal players in their own right. It's unfair to say Yasiel Puig has to turn out to be as good of a hitter as Carlos Gonzalez or Adrian Beltre to be successful, but he'll have to follow their lead if he can't learn to draw walks as he gets experience. Personally I see Puig as a .270/30 homer/15+ steal guy in the future. If he can manage that he should be fine, but I'm sure he'll never meet the expectations some people have for him at this point. Any player on that list would be a win (maybe aside from Vernon Wells because…ugh). Anything on top of the production these guys have managed is just gravy.

What is the famous line 20 Beware the Ides of March in reference to?
What do you say on the Ides of March?
Where is this quote from Beware the Ides of March?
What did Calpurnia see in her dream?
Did Julius Caesar have a child with Cleopatra?
Is March 15 cursed?
Shakespeare's famous line from the play Julius Caesar, "beware the Ides of March," has cemented itself in culture, and has since become a warning of the doom and gloom that is experienced between 13 and 15 March.
Beware the
The ides of March is March 15. The phrase telling us to be wary comes from Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," in which a soothsayer emerges from a crowd to warn the Roman dictator with the now-famous words: "Beware the ides of March."
"Beware the ides of March." In Act 1, Scene 2 of the bard's tragedy "Julius Caesar," a soothsayer appears in a crowd as Brutus and Caesar are pushed by the press of people. It would become, in the play at least, a prophecy, as on the "ides," March 15, Caesar was assassinated.
Who was killed on the Ides of March?
Julius Caesar, dictator of Rome, is stabbed to death in the Roman Senate house by 60 conspirators led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus on March 15. The day later became infamous as the Ides of March.
Why is the Ides of March bad luck?
If you want to avoid bad luck, beware the ides of March. The date was certainly unlucky for Julius Caesar, who was assassinated in front of the Roman senate on March 15. William Shakespeare dramatized the event in his play about Caesar with the famous quote, 'beware the ides of March."
He adds that Calpurnia has had a dream in which she saw his statue run with blood like a fountain, while many smiling Romans bathed their hands in the blood; she has taken this to portend danger for Caesar.
Caesarion was the child of Cleopatra and Caesar, although a few Classical authors, perhaps for political reasons, expressed doubts about his paternity. After Cleopatra's arrival in Rome in 46, Caesar himself, officially recognized the child as his son.
It's known as the deadline for settling debts in Roman times and the day William Shakespeare warned you about. And if you're superstitious, don't worry, you're not alone. About 25% of Americans consider themselves superstitious. Here's the history of March 15 and why it's considered a day full of bad luck.

New York Times-bestselling series: The War of the Lance has ended, and the darkness has passed. Or has it?
Sequestered in the blackness of the dreaded Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas, and surrounded by nameless creatures of evil, archmage Raistlin Majere weaves a plan to conquer the darkness-to bring it under his control.
Two people alone can stop him. One is Crysania, a beautiful and devoted cleric of Paladine, who tries to use her faith to lead Raistlin from the darkness. She is blind to his shadowed designs, and he draws her slowly into his neatly woven trap.
The other is Raistlin's twin, Caramon. Made aware of his brother's plan, a distraught Caramon travels back in time to the doomed city of Istar in the days before the Cataclysm. There, together with the ever-present kender Tasslehoff, Caramon will make his stand to save Raistlin's soul.
Or so he believes.
