How low (code) can you go?
There's an increasing amount of talk in digital circles about low code. These are systems for building systems: ways of using simple drag and drop interfaces to build out workflows and databases to deliver business processes. Some low code platforms of note include Matssoft, Mendix and Outsystems amongst many. There are also a number of more traditional forms and workflow packages that market themselves as low code – whether they are or not I'm never entirely sure. Perhaps it doesn't matter.
At Adur & Worthing, Paul introduced Matssoft. The team there has built a range of apps, including ones handling HR processes, waste services, asset management, FOI and complaints handling, and a range of housing services. There's details on Paul's blog, and it is a great example of how a corporate commitment to a new way of building software to deliver services can see real improvements and innovation.
One of the marketing messages many low code vendors like to trot out is that around the idea of being able to do away with developers. Having managed a rollout of low code and attempted various projects myself, I am not convinced of that. I'm reasonably tech savvy, and yet have never personally been able to build a functioning bit of software with a low code platform. My brain just isn't wired in the right way. Largely this is because, at a fundamental level, most low code is a front end to a database, and designing databases well is a skill, if not an art.
So I don't think low code is a way for organisations to dispense with developers. Instead, it can change what developers do, and speed up the process of getting ideas made into working software. They are especially useful, I think, at the beginning of a transformation programme, perhaps when one is looking for some pilot projects to prototype approaches and methods. Buying handful of licences for a low code platform and churning out a few apps saves a lot of bother compared to procuring some heavy IT designed for some future model that may or may not ever happen.
Low code, in my view, is best suited as a way of quickly building out bespoke workflows that don't fit easily into an existing line of business system or platform.
For example, most organisations are chock full of spreadsheets and databases (whether made in Access, or a Visual Basic/SQL server concoction) doing small but vital pieces of work. These are often stored in network drives and digital or IT teams may not even be aware of their existence. They also don't have the advantage of being cloud native apps, with reduced capability when it comes to mobility, usability on a range of devices and can have a high maintenance overhead.
So overall I am a supporter of low code and encourage organisations to explore how it can help consolidate that morass of unknown Excel and Access based workflows into a more modern, usable and less risky platform. But don't expect necessarily to be replacing big line of business systems overnight, nor saving money by reducing your developer headcount.


Rinse cauliflower and pat dry with a towel. Cut into florets —you want them to be more or less than same size for even cooking.
Place in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
Sprinkle with spices. Toss to coat.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Spread out the florets so they are evenly spaced -- they roast better this way. If you have a really big head of cauliflower you'll need to use two pans.
Roast at 400 degrees F/ 200 C for 15 minutes, remove from oven. Stir the florets. Return to oven for 15 more minutes or until done. Cooking time depends on your oven, so start checking after 10 minutes. Enjoy!

What Is a Liver Hemangioma?
A liverhemangioma is a tangled network of blood vessels in or on the surface of the liver. This tumor is noncancerous and usually doesn't cause symptoms. In fact, most people don't even know they have a liver hemangioma. It's usually only discovered during a test or procedure for an unrelated condition. Even when they're diagnosed, most liver hemangiomas don't require treatment.
A liver hemangioma is noncancerous and doesn't increase your risk of developing cancer. The tumor is usually small, measuring less than 4 centimeters in diameter. In some cases, however, it can grow much larger. A larger tumor is more likely to cause symptoms, such as abdominal pain and nausea. Pregnant women and women using estrogen replacement therapy have a higher risk of developing a large hemangioma. This is because estrogen may contribute to the growth of liver hemangiomas.
Most people only have one liver hemangioma. However, it's possible for several hemangiomas to form on the liver at once.
A liver hemangioma typically doesn't cause complications in adults, but it can be more dangerous when it develops in infants. In babies, the growth is called infantile hemangioendothelioma. It's usually diagnosed before the baby is 6 months old. This is a rare condition in infants. Although the tumor isn't cancerous, it has been linked to higher rates of heart failure.
What Are the Symptoms of a Liver Hemangioma?
In most cases, a liver hemangioma doesn't cause symptoms. However, symptoms can occur if the tumor has been aggravated by an injury or affected by a change in estrogen levels.
Even if you have a liver hemangioma, these symptoms may be caused by something else. Contact your doctor if you have any symptoms that worry you.
Doctors aren't sure why blood vessels clump together and form a liver hemangioma. However, they do believe that it has a genetic component, which means it tends to run in families. Some liver hemangiomas may be birth defects.
Who Is at Risk for a Liver Hemangioma?
People are at an increased for a liver hemangioma if they have family members with liver hemangiomas. Those between ages 30 and 50 are also at a higher risk for a liver hemangioma.
Women are more likely than men to develop a liver hemangioma. Since estrogen is believed to fuel the growth of a hemangioma, the mass may be larger in women as well. Women who use hormone replacement therapy to increase their estrogen levels are also at an increased risk of developing a liver hemangioma.
How Is a Liver Hemangioma Diagnosed?
Since a liver hemangioma usually doesn't cause symptoms, it often goes undiagnosed. It's typically found incidentally during a test or procedure for another medical condition.
A liver hemangioma may be discovered during an imaging test, such as an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI scan. These are low-risk, noninvasive tests that create pictures of various organs and tissues inside the body. They make it possible for your doctor to see the liver and its surrounding structures in more detail. If your doctor is looking for other liver abnormalities, they may find a hemangioma.
How Is a Liver Hemangioma Treated?
Most liver hemangiomas don't require treatment and only need monitoring. However, a hemangioma may need to be removed surgically if it's large and causing symptoms. If it causes significant pain or damage to a part of the liver, your doctor may decide to remove the entire affected section.
A liver hemangioma can grow if there's a significant amount of blood flowing to it. In this case, your doctor may tie off the main artery that's supplying blood to the hemangioma. The areas surrounding the liver will get blood from other arteries and remain healthy. This surgical procedure is known as hepatic artery ligation.
In other cases, your doctor may decide to inject a medication into the hemangioma to block the blood supply, which leads to its eventual destruction. This is called arterial embolization.
In very rare situations, a liver transplant may be required. During this procedure, your damaged liver is replaced with a donor's liver. This is only necessary if the hemangioma is extremely large or if multiple hemangiomas don't respond to other treatments.
Radiation therapy may also be needed to shrink the mass. However, this is also an extremely rare form of treatment.
What Are the Complications of a Liver Hemangioma?
Talk to your doctor about how you can reduce your risk for these complications, especially if you're pregnant, you're using hormone therapy, or you have liver disease.
What Is the Long-Term Outlook for People with a Liver Hemangioma?
A liver hemangioma rarely causes future complications. However, a hemangioma may begin to cause problems if it increases in size. Pay attention to any symptoms that could be related to an enlarged hemangioma, such as nausea, vomiting, and persistent pain in your upper right abdomen.
It's also important to take care of your liver. Drink in moderation, maintain a healthy weight, and quit smoking if you're a smoker. These lifestyle changes can lower your risk of developing other, more serious liver conditions.


Simply sublime, was the time we spent cruising around the city of London in the new Lexus NX 300h (hybrid).
After a weeks worth of driving, speeding, posing and cruising to beaches, events, and simply driving for the fun of it, we came to the conclusion that WE LOVE THIS CAR!
The Lexus NX 300h (hybrid) comes with an on the road starting price of £29,995.00, however the model we test drove was the satin silver coloured Lexus NX 300h Luxury, which is available in the UK with front or all-wheel-drive and it's Lexus's first compact crossover vehicle.
Here's 10 reasons we and you'll love the Lexus NX 300h (hybrid).
The Lexus NX 300h looks just as good on the inside. From a drivers perspective, everything you need is in your peripheral vision. The steering wheel, dashboard and on board gadgets are all within reachable arms length giving you a sense of comfort and security while driving.
The very soft leather seats within the model we drove feels luxurious and cosy. Unlike some leathers which can feel hard and almost PVC like… The leather within the Lexus is almost cotton like to touch, the kind of leather that if it was cotton, you'd want to ask the owner for the thread count.
Not only is the high grade leather soft to touch, warm and comfortable, the stitching and tailoring is impressive. A you move your hands up and down the leather interior you'll feel like Otis Reading singing "Try A Little Tenderness"… It's the type of interior that makes you want to dress up and drive.
When I test drive a car, the first thing I want to know is 'How fast can it go?'… The Lexus NX 300h can hit 62mph in 9.2 secs which is pretty impressive from such a large vehicle with only a two and half litre engine. In comparison to the fastest SUV's that have to be loaded with a V8 stuffed with 600 horses, the Lexus NX 300h is not your fastest SUV but you'll probably be more than happy with the speed… If you want something a little bit faster, you may want to look at the Lexus RX 450h.
We drove the car at 115mph (along a motorway somewhere) and we could hardly feel the movement. The Lexus holds the road like magnet to steel, you will have to keep checking the speed-o-meter as the cruising feeling from the Lexus easily trick you into not knowing how fast you are really driving… If you're the type of person that looks for a boy-racer feel, you probably will not find it here, however if you want a more sophisticated drive with acceleration when need that you're in for a treat.
Conversely to wanting to find out exactly how fast this car goes, I tended to find myself cruising around town rather than ripping around town. Think D'Angelo 'Cruising' song, while 'Thinking out Aloud' to Ed Sheeran with a sprinkle of Mark Ronson – Uptown Funk ft. Bruno Mars when you switch to sports mode and you'll get my drift. I spent lots of time driving slow, simply cruising and enjoying the ride and hydraulics. It's smooth, it's ever so smooth and the elevated feeling of driving a SUV put's you just a bit higher than other drivers. Never have I driven a car so slowly, I just simply wanted to savour every moment.
The model I drove came with the Panoramic Sunroof which is an optional extra. Worth its weight in gold, I couldn't imagine owning this vehicle without opting for the sunroof. The roof gives the SUV an almost convertible car feel. It lets in lots of light and gives the passengers an impressive sky view. So impressive, that I almost never had anyone ask to ride shotgun. Everyone I drove always wanted to sit in the back and enjoy the spacious ride and the skyline views as we travelled. You may find yourself, driving alone in the front while your friends sit in the back… Oh well, life goes on.
In ECO mode, the car is efficient on petrol, I had an inclination that I would be filling up the tank twice within the week with all the miles I accumulated. Trips to the beach, cruising at night around the city, and simply just driving for no-reason in the daytime, but no, the full tank pretty much handled everything I needed it for. As much as I love an SUV, I do not love queueing in a petrol station two – three times a week and with the Lexus, you hopefully wont need to.
Pop the boot and you'll relish in the fact that you can almost fit anything you need within the boot. Golf clubs, gym equipment, ski equipment, dead bodies… You name it, it can all fit in there, plus if you need even more space, you can always flip the back seats down and free-up more space.
There isn't much to complain about when it comes to the Lexus NX 300h. Yes the in-car-entertainment could have packed a bit more bass, but after driving the fully loaded Pioneer Car, no standard in-car-entertainment system can really compete. The Sat-Nav is easy to use (once you get used to it), plus under the arm rest you'll find extra USB's for connecting and charging your phone as well as a wireless charger pad which my Samsung Galaxy S7 fit snugly.

Tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) is the coordination complex with the formula Co(C5H7O2)3. Often abbreviated Co(acac)3, it is a green, diamagnetic solid that is soluble in organic solvents, but not in water. Owing to its solubility in organic solvents, tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) is used to produce homogeneous catalysts by reduction.

Structure
The structure of the complex has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.  The three acac- ligands bind in a bidentate fashion to cobalt, defining an octahedral complex. The solid is isomorphous with tris(acetylacetonato)iron(III), tris(acetylacetonato)manganese(III), and tris(acetylacetonato)aluminium.  With D3-symmetry, these complexes are chiral and often can be resolved into the individual enantiomers.

Synthesis and reactions
Tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) is prepared by the reaction of cobalt(II) carbonate and acetylacetone in the presence of hydrogen peroxide:
2 CoCO3 + 6 CH3COCH2COCH3 + H2O2 → 2 Co(O2C3Me2H)3 + 2 CO2 + 4 H2O
One distinctive aspect of Co(acac)3 is its susceptibility toward electrophilic aromatic substitution, by which protons on the central carbon are replaced with diverse electrophiles (Me = methyl):
Co(O2C3Me2H)3  +  3NO2+  →   Co(O2C3Me2NO2)3  +  3H+

Eric Bibb "Dear America"
Provogue/Mascot Label Group, 2021
September 15, 2021 David Jarman Album Reviews, Reviews 1
Eric Bibb delivers a powerful, and critical, love letter to America, with his distinctive vocals and acoustic guitar with blues stylings.
Eric Bibb is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary blues and roots music. Born in New York City, but a long-term resident of Sweden and Finland, Bibb has been a regular visitor to the UK, recent touring appearances including Black Deer in 2018 and Ronnie Scotts in 2019. His music has always reflected his deep love of, and empathy for, the blues, especially in its acoustic country and folk blues incarnations, and these influences shine through in his latest release, 'Dear America', along with the social and political awareness which has always been at the heart of his songwriting.
Reflecting on the inspiration for the album, he explains "It's a love letter, because America, for all of its associations with pain and its bloody history, has always been a place of incredible hope and optimism. To be American, and particularly to come from New York City, is to be blessed." Its thirteen tracks do indeed carry a positive spirit, but not without casting a harsh light on the darker corners of America, past and present. On 'Born of a Woman', where vocal duties are shared with Shaneeka Simon, Bibb sings "Walking home one night/ heard somebody screaming/ mans beating his wife/ payday drunk again/cops showed up/ but they never did arrest him / Lord how can a man treat a woman that way", while 'Emmett's Ghost' addresses one of the most notorious racially motivated murders in the US, that of Emmett Till, who was lynched in Money, Mississippi in 1955, aged only 14. Bibb sings of the shock he felt at first seeing a photograph of Till, singing "I recall my first look at his battered face/ a few years younger than Emmett Till/ when he met his brutal fate".
Throughout the album Bibb's exceptional musicality shines through, his acoustic guitar at the front of the songs' arrangements, with guest appearances adding to the strong and varied set, notably on 'Blues on a Train Pt 1', featuring Billy Branch on blues harp, and the soul-flavoured 'Love's Kingdom', with long-standing collaborator Tommy Sims on bass, and Glen Scott on vocals.
Full on, down-dirty blues is at the heart of 'Whole Worlds got the Blues', with fine lead guitar work from Eric Gales, while on 'White and Black', a plea for mutual understanding, a gospel-tinged number with keys and horns, the sincerity of Bibb's message is unmistakable.
Album closer 'One-ness of Love' is a gentle gospel ballad, featuring a vocal duet with Lisa Mills, a hymn to the power of love.
A very fine set of blues-influenced songs, with Bibb's social and political message centre stage, rating amongst his finest work in a long and distinguished career.

From the Shrimp Food Challenge video. If you follow this link it will take you straight to mommy shrimp.
The YouTube channel Shrimp Stop started an eating challenge.
The challenge is to eat something you feed your shrimp. It got to be pretty gross pretty quickly, but see what I did when I was nominated into the challenge.
Do You Need A Heater For a Shrimp Tank?
The short answer is "maybe". Check out the video for more, and read the discussion in the comments on it too!
Not a beginner shrimp keeper anymore? Play this and you will feel like you are. You are greeted with a message in another language (Japanese) and that sets the tone for this sim... Just like in real life the shrimp care products in this game are poorly translated from another language and you will have no clue what to do. You will need a community to help you out just like I said in my recent tips video, but there is none to be found. You will want to do research and there is an encyclopedia button but all you can find in it is that Red Bee shrimp (hint, that's another name for Crystal Reds) are the most basic shrimp in the game and everything else you will need to unlock by playing. You just have to jump in and experiment I guess.
I recently got an RO Buddie Reverse Osmosis filter system because the overwhelming majority of you shrimp keepers out there said that RO water and GH+ remineralizer was going to be the best bet to get my Crystals breeding. Ensuring that the water was right at exactly what they want to have.
I'd been using a mix of Tap water and Distilled to get the TDS/GH and KH down from what's in my tap to the range they like, but this is a more accurate way, starting with RO or distilled and adding the minerals they want and only what they want back in with a remineralizer product. And in the long run this is cheaper than buying jugs of distilled water at the grocery store.
I'll show you all how it works.

Trading in traditions: transforming the Navy
An effective management operating solution, underpinned by collaborative behaviour internally and across the supply chain, helps break the mould of a very traditional approach to maintenance in the Australian Navy.
"It was more than change management. It was a fundamental analysis of our business culture: how we do business and how we behave with our industry counterparts. We realised that the old way couldn't continue, as it was part of the problem."
– Dr Bruce McLennan, Director of Maritime Strategic Industry Engagement, Australian Department of Defence
The upkeep and maintenance of Australia's Defence ships has long been a costly and problematic game, resulting in suboptimal outcomes for both the Navy and industry at large. Traditionally, Defence outsourced the maintenance of their ships to multiple suppliers on a piecemeal basis, tendering to a panel of pre-qualified suppliers. However, due to its short-term outlook, this approach provided suboptimal outcomes – and instead incentivised a strong focus on growth for individual contractors. Significant schedule delays, excess administration and cost blow-outs were run of the mill.
The establishment of a collaborative supplier engagement model. This new model saw all the work on the class of Adelaide class frigates given to one contractor for a period 5 years.
KEY OUTCOMES
$1 million savings per month to Commonwealth
Ships sent out on time, every time (unprecedented)
Greater ability to predict contractors and end customers
Brooke's approach
Brooke's initial review was more than just a typical review. The teams' extensive and trusted knowledge base, coupled with a mentoring partnership approach, meant they were fully connected and committed to the project's outcomes. With this deep trust and motivation for change, plus the confidence to bring about transformation in the industry, the partnership saw the Department steer away from their highly transactional and process-driven approach, which resulted in large costs and time overruns.
Working closely at all levels within Department, Brooke first took time to fully understand gaps in strategy, such as collaboration both internally and with external suppliers. A tailored strategy was developed to assess engagement and integration. A transitional program was then implemented. It started with a focus on contracting, but eventually extended to all areas of the Department.
The program's governance structure was second to none and helped key stakeholders to identify what needed to be done. It focused upon how the Department could engage collaboratively and reduce excess administration in favour of a more predictable management operating system.
"We needed to look at how the Department did business, how they visualised what they did, and how they visualised what suppliers did for them. We helped them to see that if they worked collaboratively with industry they could improve overall system performance in ways that they, acting alone would never have been able to achieve."

We were incredibly excited when Battle for the Grid was revealed. An approachable, competitive fighting game set in a Power Rangers multiverse is a dream come true – especially for us 90s kids – and nWay has already proven that it's more than capable of handling this license with respect.
Even the fighting game elitists are stopping to stare. Don't let the claim of approachability scare you. Here we have assist takeovers, multi-part combos and juggles, and the kind of dynamic defense you'd expect to see from flagship fighters. What's more, nWay is promising cross-play and cross-progression between Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Did we mention that the game nWay employed the aid of multiple fighting game pros to make Battle for the Grid as balanced and fun as possible? Did we mention that it's launching for $19.99?
This is unironically one of our most anticipated launches of the year. Stay tuned for more updates.

Q: htaccess does not redirect when uploading Wordpress Yesterday, I uploaded a Wordpress site on "public_html/wordpress" folder for testing purpose. It worked fine. The URL was "mysite/wordpress".
But today, I deleted the "wordpress" folder, uploaded Wordpress src again to the upper level "public_html" folder. However when I went to "mysite.com", it still redirects to "mysite/wordpress". And of course, a 404 error appears because I had previously deleted the "wordpress" folder.
Even if I typed "mysite.com/index.php", it still redirected to the wrong place "public_html/wordpress"
This is ALL the content of the .htaccess file on "public_html".
DirectoryIndex index.php

I'm completely new to wordpress, please helps me ASAP.

A: This is due to permalink configuration in Wordpress. If WP admin is loading then visit permalink setting page and change all links to remove /wordpress from URLs.
If WP admin is not coming up then via PHPMyAdmin update wp_options table to fix all URLs that have /wordpress in them. (option_id=39 is one of them).

I'm still getting the hang of video editing but I took a video of this little guy yesterday. I manage to reduce the camera shake to a minimum as I was leaning over a pond (after a rather horrible work out so holding a camera at arm's length was painful) to take this.
It's been slowed down by 50% and I overlaid sound from the same spot today so you can't hear my extremely noisy auto focus (I miss my silent Nikon)!
Very nice video! I'm too lazy to do editing so my videos are usually shaky loud messes. Some stills!
Looks like you have a Celastrina sp. butterfly (a type of Blue). Tried to find the species but this babe is either not in my Euro butterfly book or the species has a lot of variation in patterning.
Interestingly, I found some close matches in my North America book, and the fact that the two best matches I could find were both in Celastrina makes me think I may actually be right!

Q: Does riding Lloid cause it to deal more damage on impact? With Villager's side B, does actually riding the rocket powered gyroid cause it to be stronger/blast the opponent further?

A: Yes it does. Riding it will cause around 10-20 percent more damage depending on the distance away. After I tested it in training mode, riding it caused 16 percent damage as opposed to 7 percent when not riding it.


The point of all this blabbering on, is that no matter how much information you have about the value and quality of this somewhat expensive piece of equipment, it really is meaningless. Why? Because so many people, including myself, tend to add filters and effects in post-production to make the pictures you just took, look off-color, scratched, over or underexposed, and out of focus. Thank you Instagram for that.
It's just funny how you research to get the best possible camera, then make the results less than optimal. Now obviously, I am only speaking for myself. There are professionals who need the best and shoot the best. I'm just talking about the everyday photo jock (again, myself included) who is lured by the number of megapixels and marketing to spend money on something you really might not need.
I love my T5i, and when I want to take incredible pictures that don't need to resemble a 1970s Polaroid, I can. 12 MP is amazing for me (it's all about the lenses anyway, am I right?) The video camera is very, very good (the magic happens in Premiere Pro anyway, am I right?) I'm just saying, take a look at yourself and decide if you really need to spend thousands on a camera that will give you a $1000 image, when all you're going to create is a 50 cent image.
I have also attached a screen shot of a map of our travels based on the GPS tagging of the photos I took on the trip.


Target is placing a bet: Urban millennials ages 18–34 will drive its next major phase of growth.
A slew of new "City Targets" are scheduled to open in 2016, bringing the pared-down Target experience to more urbanites in the hopes of boosting sales for the big box retailer.
According to Philly.com, Philadelphia's Center City will be getting at least three of the new City Target locations. Two of the new stores, scheduled to open in summer 2016, will include only a pharmacy, Target Mobile with cellphones and tech accessories and pickup for online orders.
The urban push began for Target, attests the Philly.com story, back in 2012 and has gradually expanded to 18 flexible format stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and San Diego.
But Target may not only be targeting millennials with its urban expansion plans. The chain also "[has] to appeal to shoppers of all ages to be successful," James Cook, Americas director of research and retail at consultant Jones Lang LaSalle, remarked to Philly.com.
This may be doubly true in Philadelphia, where 42 percent of the city's population is over the age of 40.


Click here to read several recent articles pertaining to the involvement of EMU with the Educational Achievment Authority (EAA).
We find the undermining of democratic processes represented in the creation of a district outside the purview of public decision-making and oversight to be in direct conflict with this university's mission and our legacy as a champion of public education. This violation of our principles is now beginning to affect our historically strong relationship with local schools, as local districts have begun to respond. In a strong protest of EMU's involvement in the EAA, the leadership of the Michigan Education Association in Washtenaw County is now moving to boycott placement of our student teachers in their schools. They have plans to work with unions in other nearby counties to do the same. Obviously this response will have detrimental impacts on enrollment and student credit hour production as the effects of this teacher-led action undermine our ability to attract students to our programs, and carry out necessary aspects of our national accreditation.
Two independent pension studies appear to back Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr's position that the city's retirement funds are seriously underfunded and based on optimistic assumptions — major reasons Orr has given for pushing the city into bankruptcy — the Free Press has learned.
The Milliman reports, dated June 4 and obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests filed by the Free Press, offer projections of the financial liabilities of the General Retirement System and the Police and Fire Retirement System under several potential scenarios. A more complete report from Milliman will be released next week. The city commissioned the $350,000 Milliman report.

Technology and the society essays
dissatation
One may see this function of humour illustrated in that instinctive readiness of one who has had a perfect social training to dismiss laughingly from conversation the first appearance of an allusion to himself and his claims. The late King sought but one interview with Dr. The supposition would not be utterly wrong. to induce Edward II. In the fine pages which Remy de Gourmont devotes to Flaubert in his _Probleme du Style_, the great critic declares: La vie est un depouillement. But when to the hurtfulness of the action is technology and the society essays joined the impropriety of the affection from whence it proceeds, when our heart rejects with {68} abhorrence all fellow-feeling with the motives of the agent, we then heartily and entirely sympathize with the resentment of the sufferer. It is, however, not the control of details but rather the watching of general methods and results. Possibly this is a good opportunity to say a word for a method of testing the adequacy of one's collection which has scarcely been used as it deserves. Dutton's Case, as they appeared on this trial.—Price 3_s._ "A series of Facts very material to all having care of the Insane." * * * * * The above Works may be had of JOHN TAYLOR, Upper Gower-street; or through the medium of any country bookseller. _Vuch_, the last member of this compound name, is understood by both to mean the opossum. Complete as this is in all the forms of prosecution and defence, the allusions to conjurators are so slight as to show that already they were employed rather on collateral points than on main questions. Having been once gulled, they are not soon _ungulled_. The women were then examined one by one, by passing a rope under the arms and tossing them in, without divesting them of their clothes. Several other astronomical difficulties, which encumbered this account of things, were removed by the same philosopher. The fact is, as most impartial students of psychology admit, that both religious and political ethics owe far more of their character to the "emotional cravings" combined with the interested propaganda current in the age, than to any real value they may possess from a utilitarian or, assuming the Divinity to be rational, from a Divine point of view. They demonstrated, that Venus and Mercury were sometimes above, and sometimes below the Sun; and that, consequently, the Sun, and not the Earth, was the centre of their periodical revolutions. She was an established veteran, when I was an unfledged novice; and, perhaps, played those scenes without emotion, which filled me, and so many others, with delight and awe. How many battles have I had in my own mind, and compunctious visitings of criticism to stick to my old favourite, because Coleridge thought nothing of it! Dunstan's clock,' while I held an umbrella over his head (the friendly protection of which he was unwilling to quit to walk in the rain to Camberwell) to prove to me that Richard Pinch was neither a fives-player nor a pleasing singer. During the years of school attendance, it works with the school, and it recognizes the fact that its use is a habit best acquired early. This fall in the collective outburst, already touched on, and recognised by all students of the past, is largely due to a toning down of the simpler and heartier utterances of the common people. The increase of muscular activity shown in the laughing romps leads to the extension of mirthful enjoyment in another way. Specific injuries done by ribald jests, _e.g._, to religious convictions, may have to be dealt with by the magistrate. Our critics are often interested in extracting something from their subject which is not fairly in it. 26.—A caricature of a masculine female 193 Case No. And so far this account is undoubtedly true, that we frequently have occasion to confirm our natural sense of the propriety and fitness of punishment, by reflecting how necessary it is for preserving the order of society. The newspaper, fully alive to the value of things new, gives welcome to the self-revelations of human folly, perverted ingenuity, and uncontrollable vanity. At the same time he tells us that a prolonged loud laughter, recognisable as such by a person not looking at what was going on, first occurred in the eighth month when the boy was playing with his mother. In quiet and peaceable times, when the storm is at a distance, the prince, or great man, wishes only to be amused, and is even apt to fancy that he has scarce any occasion for the service of any body, or that those who amuse him are sufficiently able to serve him. The haughtiness of her pretensions at present, 'full of wise saws and modern instances,' is not the most unequivocal pledge of her abandonment of her old errors. The analogy is, in fact, somewhat closer than most persons realize, and its consideration reveals some mistaken ideas about the use of music in a library and may give rise to suggestions for the improvement of that use. the essays and technology society.
Rock-salt, nitre, alum, and hard clay, owed that quality to the absence of moisture, and were therefore, dissolvable in water. But I know that I can get there what I get nowhere else—a welcome, as if one was expected to drop in just at that moment, a total absence of all respect of persons and of airs of self-consequence, endless topics of discourse, refined thoughts, made more striking by ease and simplicity of manner—the husk, the shell of humanity is left at the door, and the spirit, mellowed by time, resides within! For though those celestial beings were, by the revolutions of their several Spheres, the original causes of the generation and corruption of all sublunary forms, they were causes who neither knew nor intended the effects which they produced. Such are those of generation, corruption, and alteration; of mixture, condensation, and rarefaction. If our own misery pinches us very severely, we have no leisure to attend to that of our neighbour: and all savages are too much occupied with their own wants and necessities, to give much attention to those of another person. The modern library is concerned, much more largely than the old, with contemporary relations, with what is happening and what is just going to happen. _xayumuakayayu_, I make myself crazy, etc. The world and its inhabitants turn round, and we forget one change of scene in another. In the same way receipts from fines have become a very considerable source of income in large libraries, and are not to be neglected even in small ones. Our obsequiousness to our superiors more frequently arises from our admiration for the advantages of their situation, than from any private expectations of benefit from their goodwill. It will be one of our chief problems to determine the characteristics of this field of the laughable, and to define its boundaries. The whole now comprises a few cottages, with the church tower, and one hundred and fifty acres of land. The true impulse to voluntary action can only exist in the mind of a being capable of foreseeing the consequences of things, of being interested in them from the imaginary impression thus made upon his mind, and of making choice of the means necessary to produce, or prevent what he desires or dreads. So were Titian, Raphael, and Michael Angelo. To deprive man of sentiment, is to deprive him of all that is interesting to himself or others, except the present object and a routine of cant-phrases, and to turn him into a savage, an automaton, technology and the society essays or a Political Economist. The type is interesting and will probably become extinct. Footnote 70: Mr. majestatis_," and no instance is on record to disprove the assertion.[1833] In one class of offences, however, torture was frequently used to a later date, and without requiring the royal intervention. _Antony and Cleopatra_ is the most wonderful, I think, of all Shakespeare's plays…. Y. Every prosecution and defence required relics to give validity to the oaths of both parties, and even in the fifteenth century a collection of laws declares that a plaintiff coming into court without a relic on which to make his oath, not only lost his cause, but incurred a fine of nine-score pence. So: _yot-gua_, light here; from _yotti_, to light, _nugua_, here. We find tongues in which the primary sounds are themselves significant, and yet at the same time are highly variable; and we find many examples in which they are inadequate to convey the sense of the articulate sound. The profounder study of language, however, leads to a different conclusion—to one which, as cautiously expressed by a recent writer, teaches that "every large, connected, terrestrial area developed only one, or scarcely more than one, fundamental linguistic type, and this with such marked individuality that rarely did any of its languages depart from the general scheme."[287] This similarity is not to be looked for in likeness between words, but in the inner structural development of tongues. Still, the decline seems to be much more than any such artificial restraint would account for. In philosophic scepticism, with its insistence on the relativity of our knowledge and on the impossibility of attaining to rational certainty, we seem to find a denial of all philosophy rather than a particular species of it; nevertheless, as the history of the subject shows, it is the outcome of a distinct and recurrent attitude of the philosophic mind. I wished, _da nee_. Even here, however, the argument against money transactions with a free institution seems to hold good. He, therefore, appears to deserve reward, who, to some person or persons, is the natural object of a gratitude which every human heart is disposed to beat time to, and thereby applaud: and he, on the other hand, appears to deserve punishment, who in the same manner is to some person or persons the natural object of a resentment which the breast of every reasonable man is ready to adopt and sympathize with. If men have endowed their deities with mirth they have also endowed their fiends.

Skyfall's credit oddities
Bérénice (Lim) Marlohe, unable to solve the mystery of the different Skyfall poster and movie credits, has a sip of Jameson's.
So, Skyfall has been out for a few weeks and is about to become the highest-grossing James Bond movie of all time. But there are a couple of oddities that nobody has explained and, to be honest, almost no fans are talking about.
What are those? The odd differences in credits between the movie poster for the 23rd James Bond movie and the main titles of the film itself.
Exhibit A: Actress Berenice Marlohe. Or is it actress Berenice Lim Marlohe?
On the poster and regular advertisements (such as the one on page C13 of the national edition of The New York Times on Nov. 16), she's billed as Berenice Marlohe. But, in the main titles designed by Daniel Kleinman, she is listed as Berenice Lim Marlohe. During the publicity buildup to Skyfall, she was also listed as Berenice Marlohe. Most people didn't know she had a middle name until they saw the movie.
Exhibit B: the different film editing credit between movie poster and movie.
On the poster, it's "STUART BAIRD A.C.E." (That's American Cinema Editors to you civilians.) The movie? Something a bit different. It says "Editors" (plural) and lists Stuart Baird in BIG LETTERS with a second name, Kate Baird in small letters.
Kate Baird's IMDB.com entry doesn't list any specific relationship to 65-year-old Stuart Baird. Kate Baird was also as assistant editor on 2006's Casino Royale, where Stuart Baird was the editor.
Meanwhile, this arrangement in the main titles seems to be something of a first for the Bond series. A number of 007 films has two or three credited film editors (Diamonds Are Forever, Live And Let Die, The Man With the Golden Gun and Quantum of Solace among them). But with those 007 films, the name of the editors were all in the same size of type.
So, did Kate Baird do more work than an assistant editor (thus meriting a place in the main titles) but perform substantially less than Stuart Baird (thus accounting for her name being smaller)? While this is trivial, agents spends lots of time and effort negotiating these details concerning the credits of major movies.
One final note, that's not an oddity but is worth mentioning. Gregg Wilson, the son of Michael G. Wilson, the 70-year-old co-boss of Eon Productions, got a promotion on Skyfall. The younger Wilson's title on Quantum of Solace was assistant producer (his on-screen credit appeared with four other credits) while it was associate producer on Skyfall (sharing the screen with only one other name).
Presumably, this is an indication Gregg Wilson is positioning himself among the next generation of the Wilson-Broccoli clan for a bigger role in the future.

MGM may bend on Bond 24's schedule
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer signaled this week it may bend on the schedule for Bond 24, with the movie coming out in 2015, rather than 2014.
The studio held a conference call this week after releasing financial results. (You can listen to it, at least for now, by accessing a link at THE INVESTORS RELATION PART OF MGM'S WEB SITE.) Studio Chief Gary Barber was asked if Bond 24 would be out in 2014. MGM, as part of its 2010 bankruptcy, said it planned to get the 007 films back on an every-other-year schedule. Sony Corp.'s Sony Pictures unit (which co-financed Skyfall and will do the same for Bond 24) has said it expects Bond 24 to be out in two years.
"We're always hopeful on that," the studio boss said. At the same time, he said, "We'll put our best foot forward" on a script for the next 007 film. "If not in '14, certainly in '15," he said of when Bond 24 will come out.
Earlier, in prepared remarks at the start of the call, Barber confirmed that John Logan, co-scripter of Skyfall, is working on the storyline for Bond 24 and Bond 25. He also said MGM expects Skyfall's worldwide ticket ticket sales to exceed $800 million. They totaled $550 million earlier this week.
This is the first public show of flexibility by the studio, which controls half the Bond franchise with the Broccoli-Wilson family. Barbara Broccoli told the Los Angeles Times IN A STORY YOU CAN VIEW BY CLICKING HERE she was in no hurry. An excerpt:
"Sometimes there are external pressures from a studio who want you to make it in a certain time frame or for their own benefit, and sometimes we've given into that," Broccoli said. "But following what we hope will be a tremendous success with 'Skyfall,' we have to try to keep the deadlines within our own time limits and not cave in to external pressures." (emphasis added)
Part of the reason why Broccoli and Wilson would wait before moving on to another Bond movie is because they've yet to settle on a future direction. "We like Daniel [Craig], obviously, and we like the way he portrays the Bond character," Wilson said. "Our challenge is to find situations that will feel different and fresh and new and put Daniel and that character into those situations. It's daunting."
Neither Broccoli nor Wilson reference Logan working on the scripts for Bond 24 and Bond 25.

Seven Students Killed In Flash Floods In Aravah Region: Multiple Still Missing
A horrific tragedy is unfolding in Eretz Yisroel on Thursday afternoon.
A group of 25 youths traveling on a bus in Nachal Tzafit in the Aravah found themselves trapped, during flash flooding on Wednesday. Police and volunteers from the Aravah Search & Rescue Unit, working in cooperation with military helicopters began the search for the missing youths.
ZAKA is reporting that the death toll in the flash flood disaster has reached seven R"L. (Earlier reports that the victims are from a Hesder Yeshiva are inaccurate.)
At one point, the students got off the bus they were in, entering the nachal and began walking. It was then that they were literally swept away by the powerful flashflood.
It is confirmed that there were both males and females on the trip to the Aravah area nachal.
It is yet confirmed that seven victims remain in critical condition, two others in serious condition, and three others are in moderate condition.
There are still three or four persons missing. Their general area is known to rescue officials but that have to be found.
Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva has declared a multicausality incident, mobilizing all emergency services in the emergency and trauma rooms accordingly. Soroka is the southern area Level 1 trauma center.
Two IDF rescue helicopters were searching the area in an attempt to locate the others still missing.
Search & Rescue units from Dimona, Beersheva, Yerucham, Beit Shemesh and fire department divers are involved in the efforts to find the missing youths. Rafts and other marine rescue craft stand by to respond to rescue those still missing from the flash flood. The operation is being overseen by area Israel Police commanders.
Rescue personnel are doing their utmost, as visibility begins to wane with shekiya and nightfall approaching. The IDF's elite 669 search & rescue choppers have been involved in the operation since it was realized just how many persons were involved. The experts explain that once the sun drops, the situation will become far more difficult and rescue efforts will be complicated at best.
A MDA chopper is also operating in the area.,
At least one person rescued is B'chasdei Hashem reported in only light-to-moderate condition, as s/he succeeded in finding safety by holding on to and then climbing onto large boulders.
KAN News reports the victims are all about 18-years-old, all from the same educational institution, located in the center of the country.
Israel Chief Rabbi Dovid Lau has spoken with leaders of the school that the students attend. Rav Lau is calling on the tzibur at large to be mispallel on behalf of the victims, who are in need of Rachmei Shomayim. Rav Lau calls on those who can to recite Tehillim.
Police state that they continue overseeing the operation, which everyone davens will be a rescue operation and not chas v'sholom recovery. An emergency information number has been established for the families – 050-507-3789.
Soroka Hospital has established emergency information numbers:
08-624-4434 (fax for hearing impaired)
Meanwhile, Tamar Regional Council officials urge the general public not to come to the Dead Sea and Aravah areas due to the inclement weather condition and flash floods in the area. As a result of the nature of the area topography, visiting and hiking during these weather conditions can be extremely dangers. Schools in the area were closed on Thursday, 11 Iyar, due to roads be closed or blocked as a result of the stormy condition.
The Education Ministry Situation Room reports this trip was not filed or cleared by the ministry and therefore, it was unauthorized.

As I've said before, KEXP rocks.
Latest find, courtesy of KEXP's live performances podcast, which recorded them at SXSW, is a Danish band called Under Byen. They remind me of the Sugarcubes crossed with Sigur Rós – and not just because they sing in Danish, which is as incomprehensible to me as Icelandic, but because they create beautiful, atmospheric, alternative pop songs.
Thanks Lars – I should have figured there were better translations out there.
Many thanks for posting that fantastic track 🙂 I really enjoy listening to it!


30 March 2015 – In response to recent attacks on cultural sites, UNESCO has launched a campaign to mobilise support for the preservation of cultural heritage. Titled #Unite4Heritage, the campaign asks everyone to send in photo contributions, thereby using the power of social media networks to build support for the global protection of heritage. Photos and selected comments will be shared through the campaign's designated website.
Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, highlighted the importance of the initiative during the campaign's launch at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Baghdad in Iraq.
The campaign harnesses public interest and social media networks to share values of tolerance, diversity and respect.
By doing this, #Unite4Heritage builds upon international treaties protecting culture, e.g. the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property. It also underlines UNESCO's work to use culture as means of reconciling and uniting us all.
"Together, we will put forward a new humanist narrative of shared values, of humanity as a single family, holding a past and a future in common. Unity will be our strength," Irina Bokova declared.
The campaign invites everyone to send in photos of their favourite artefact, sharing it on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #Unite4Heritage.
You can also post a selfie while you are holding a sign with #Unite4Heritage on it.

Unfair commerce practices: Non-authorized retailers do not respect the obligation our authorized retailers have to market and sell our products properly. You could be exposed to bait and switch, where one product is advertised but not available, and where you are directed to buy another product, possibly from another brand.
You could also see non-authorized retailers advertising products they do not have in stock. This tactic is sometimes used by unscrupulous retailers to build traffic on the reputation of higher-end brands, which they are not authorized to carry.

Tried to withdraw $ 22,500 from fraudulent bank account in Florida
(NOTICIAS YA) .- A Florida woman faces multiple criminal charges, after trying to withdraw thousands of dollars from an account that did not belong to her and which she had opened fraudulently. according to official information. But this is not all.
About 42,000 families will need food and toys this holiday season
Shannon Kurrie, 56, went to a bank in Chase in Winter Haven, Polk County this Monday morning and tried to withdraw $ 22,500 from a business account. However, when the bank staff gave him the retirement form, Kurrie wrote the data of a 75-year-old woman living in Texas.
However, he showed a credit card and a Texas ID with his photo, but with the name and information of the victim.
When the signatures did not match, the bank agent asked him a series of questions that Kurrie could not answer and called the police.

Kurrie did not give up and continued to provide false information about her, while authorities contacted the victim, who claimed to be in Texas and sent his information to corroborate his identity.
Finally, Kurrie informed the officers his real name and confessed to opening a business account in the victim's name, transferring funds from the personal account to the business account in order to withdraw his money.
As if that wasn't enough, when searching Kurrie's belongings, the police found a social security card, a credit card, and a driver's license in her purse, none of which were hers.

Kurrie was arrested on charges of grand theft, criminal use of personal identification, possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, illegal possession of 4 or fewer IDs, and handing a false ID to a law enforcement officer. She was booked into the Polk County Jail on $ 8,500 bond.
The Winter Have Police Department calls on citizens who could also fall victims of this type of crime, to request their credit report totally free in the 3 companies that issue these credit documents to consumers, visiting the Federal Trade Commission website CLICKING HERE: consumer.ftc.gov and thus detect possible suspicious activities that you do not recognize or have not carried out in your bank accounts.
Unfortunately, many times the identity of people is stolen and unscrupulous people use your data, damaging it without you knowing.

I ordered a chair mat for my home office and the the carpet is very plush with thick padding. The mat I ordered was .250 thick and just the right one for my carpet. I had called to make sure I was ordering the correct mat for the job and was treated very well by knowledgeable customer service. The mat came rolled up upon fast delivery and flattened out very quickly by laying it out on my patio in the sun for about 2 hours. I would highly recommend Just Chairs and would definitely or from you again!


The Orange Seal Versa-valves are the best tubeless valves I've tried so far. They're well designed, easy to seal and sturdy. If you're struggling to seal your rims with other valves on the market it might be worth forking out the rather salty £19.99 for a set of these.
These valves specifically address some issues I've had with other valves. Firstly, you generally need to do them up tight to get a seal. That can be hard with the small lockring that you normally get, which often has me resorting to pliers, which can scuff the ring. The Versa-valve locking ring has flats machined on each side so you can do it up with a 9mm spanner, making the job a whole lot easier.
Secondly, I've had valves fail when the rubber grommet that seals the rim has pulled away from the shaft, having been bonded on. That can't happen here: the alloy shaft has an extended flat section the top, and the grommet just slides on and is held in place by that. You can choose from two types of grommet – conical and half-cylinder – and both are included, as are spare valve cores and a valve core tool.
The choice of grommets means they should fit pretty much any rim; I fitted them to Hunt rims and Reynolds rims and got a seal easily in both cases. The only issue was on the Hunt rim, where the asymmetric rim shape meant that the locking ring didn't sit flush and the rubber O-ring poked out a bit, but it still sealed fine.
The Versa-valves are available in four lengths up to 80mm so you should be fine with anything up to a 50mm section road rim. Orange Seal has clearly considered the issues with current valves and its solutions are very neat and work very well. They're expensive – £19.99 is more or less top dollar for tubeless valves – but they perform very well, and if you struggle with sealing your rims they're probably worth the extra tenner over a cheaper set.
Orange Seal says, "VersaValve consists of a valve stem with a large, sturdy base plate that can be fitted with different shaped rubber grommets. The large base plate ensures a solid contact with the rim bed and the adaptable grommets guarantee an airtight fit on all shapes and depths of rim. VersaValve will work on most rims: mountain, road or CX. Grommets are easily replaceable and the various stem lengths mean valve extenders are no longer necessary on deep section wheels."
Very well: sealed every time and easy to use.
Design addresses three problems very well.
They're more or less the most expensive ones out there; basic tubeless valves can be had for less than half this.
They're the best designed tubeless valves I've used, but you pay for that privilege.

'Birdman', Superhero Films and Spectacle
Riggan: How about Jeremy Renner?
Jake: Who?
Riggan: Jeremy Renner. He was nominated. He was the Hurt Locker guy.
Jake: Oh, okay. He's an Avenger.
Riggan: Fuck, they put him in a cape too?
One of the best and most inspired films I've seen recently is Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), a fantastic multi-layered meta commentary on hollywood and the creation of art. It features Michael Keaton as an middle-aged actor struggling to make what he sees as 'real art', after playing a superhero called 'Birdman' twenty years ago. This superhero, or possibly his diseased mind, torments him throughout the film. It taunts him about his perceived lack of talent and asking why he's bothering to attempt a serious play on Broadway. Near the film's climax, the Birdman appears and directly taunts the audience, showing them explosions and fast action, before turning directly into the camera and saying:
'That's what I'm talking about. Bones rattling! Big, loud, fast! Look at these people, at their eyes… they're sparkling. They love this shit. They love blood. They love action. Not this talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit.
With it's strange direction and constant drumming soundtrack, the film is the complete antithesis of the modern superhero blockbuster. Those films aren't clever, but they are fun, popular and commercially successful. Birdman on the other hand is a full frontal attack on the modern ideal of superheroes. Why bother with proper art, the film seems to be saying, just settle for the safe, popular and commercial. In this way, the film provides a commentary on itself, but also challenges Hollywood's lust for popularity and money and films made solely for profit. The film argues that film-making has become all spectacle with no content or philosophy to back it up
Coincidentally, in the last couple of weeks I also watched_Captain America: The Winter Soldier_ and Ant Man. Both are pretty decent films in their own right. Ant Man is a fun little heist flick that happens to star superheroes. Captain America is probably one of the better Marvel films, a political thriller with superheroes being hunted by the government across the United States. But after watching Birdman they seem quite forgetful and hollow. They are popcorn films, not designed to linger long in the mind. Captain America in particular raises lots of interesting points about the abuses of power, how far the government can go in keeping the population safe and questions about the pervasive role of surveillance in the modern world. However, instead of interrogating these questions in the drama, it seems to discard them in favour of spectacle.
Before I saw Birdman, I was growing increasingly dis-satisfied with the modern blockbuster. Jurassic World was one of the final nails in the coffin for me. The issue is not that these films are loud or full of action or even that they mostly deal with superheros. Instead, it is a problem that they all have a homogeneity of tone and theme. It is possible to create interesting, different stories with superheroes, the graphic novel of Watchmen is clear proof of that. What we seem to be getting in the worst cases is spectacle with nothing to back it up, no interesting character motivation or plot twists, just the same story.
I'm not a massive fan of the Heroes' Journey, but it can be used as the underpinning of a huge variety of stories. Increasingly though, there is a lack of imagination in translating this monomyth to the screen. It has become a straight jacket instead of a suggestion for structure. We end up with endless variations of one man overcoming the odds to become a hero, a disappointing villain and a big fight at the end where everything is resolved. One man against the odds, fighting evil to bring order to a chaotic world. Good wins out. No consequences. This is completely in line with the underlying myth, but it feels hollow because it's too much of a rigid template. There are no lessons to learn or consequences to the actions.
The big studios keep going though, because it works. It sells and is incredibly successful. For all the humour, the Birdman is right. People don't want to see "talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit." They want explosions and action, simple answers and spectacle for a chaotic time.
Birdman also spends equal amounts of time attacking the pretentious bollocks that actors think are important. Arty side projects and self important vanity projects all come under the satirical gaze of the film. Sometimes these end up touching upon exactly the same themes as the big commercial blockbusters. Sometimes they also focus on spectacle and have nothing underpinning them. But I think it's important to not just develop films as commercial enterprises. These arty side projects are required for a diversity of stories, that don't just support the status quo and tell us everything is alright. We need films like Birdman to shock us out of our complacency.
I'll probably still see Marvel films. I still enjoy spectacle in cinema, which even Birdman has in spades, with it's showy 'one take' style. It's just refreshing to see a film that backs up the spectacle with imagination and which takes the extra effort to explore ideas. Perhaps that is why I am so frustrated with modern blockbusters, as they seem to lack imagination and consequences.
But hey, as Riggan says in Birdman:
What has to happen in a person's life to become a critic anyway?
In Art from Others, Film

Applied mathematics (combined basic mathematics) is a first-batch National Key Discipline, while in 2001, basic mathematics and applied mathematics were again rated as National Key Disciplines. Mathematics Department's post doctoral mobile station and PhD Program of First-Level Discipline are the among the key discipline construction projects in the 9th FYP, 10th FYP, and "211" projects, and are also the founders and backbones of University of Zhejiang's CAD & CG National Key Laboratory.
The mathematics base has registered remarkable accomplishment both in scientific research and the personnel training. Since 1990, it has obtained 4 items in the National Natural Sciences prize (1 item being second prize winner), 2 in the State Teaching Achievement Award, and over 40 items in the provincial or ministerial level teaching & research achievement award. In addition, it has over 40 on-going state-level research projects every year. In recent years, a substantial number of Zhejiang University Math Department's graduates have distinguished themselves both in domestic and international arena; Lin Fanghua, Li Jianshu,Wang Xujia, Shao Qiman and Fu Jixiang have been invited to speak at the international mathematician congresses respectively; 6 graduates are honored as Yangtze-River professors, 8 have been awarded the National Excellent Youth fund, 2 attained "Qiushi" the prize, 1 won the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize, one's paper was awarded as the national outstanding doctorate paper. All these have had the tremendous influence in China's mathematics circles.
Outstanding results have also been recorded in "mathematics model" winning in 1999 and 2003 the highest prize in international mathematics model (American Operation and Management Science Society Award, which have been won twice by candidates from Asia, both from University of Zhejiang), and maintaining a leading position nationwide.

Trump Admin Pushes Back Hard on Reports They Are Fighting For Whites (It's Asians!)
Rachel StockmanAug 3rd, 2017, 10:18 am
Who to believe, The New York Times or the Trump administration? Well, they both have totally different stories about the reported efforts to tackle affirmative action at universities. The Times claims that the Department of Justice is planning to fight affirmative action admissions policies "deemed to discriminate against white applicants."
The Times reporter said he obtained an internal memo showing that the DOJ was seeking attorneys for "investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions."
The Trump admin says that is fake news. In a statement released by the DOJ, a spokesperson claims the DOJ sought volunteers to investigate one administrative complaint filed by a coalition of 64 Asian-American associations that the Obama administration left unresolved. They called reports otherwise "inaccurate."
The DOJ statement continues:
"The complaint alleges racial discrimination against Asian Americans in a university's admissions policy and practices. The Department of Justice has not received or issued any directive, memorandum, initiative, or policy related to university admissions in general. The Department of Justice is committed to protecting all Americans from all forms of illegal race-based discrimination."
Well, The New York Times, which first reported the news, is basically sticking with their story. A new NYT report published on Thursday said that some Civil Rights Division employees "greeted" the department's statement with "skepticism."
"I am skeptical of the explanation that this detail announcement would be for the investigation of one single complaint," said Justin M. Levitt, a former deputy assistant attorney general in the division in the Obama administration told The Times. "To have that structure to investigate a single complaint, outside the normal chain of command for career attorneys who investigate these sorts of complaints all the time, that's quite weird."

Beyond CSR and philanthropy, SAP's Africa Code Week is a shared-value initiative that fulfils the needs of every society stakeholder. Spearheaded by SAP in 2015 to drive sustainable growth in Africa, Africa Code Week (ACW) is the story of schools, teachers, governments and non-profits getting together to bridge the digital skills gap in Africa by training young Africans to code.
Over the next 25 years, Africa's working-age population will double to one billion. But, the digital skills gap is widening. Coding has the power to put millions of young Africans on the path to successful careers and empower them to build sustainable growth.
Showcasing SAP's leadership and commitment to creating sustainable growth through its investment in skills development, in collaboration with a wide network of international and local partners from government, NGOs and the private sector.
Effectively engaging SAP's priority audience (policy makers, government, opinion leaders, youth, and SAP employees, customers and partners) by developing interesting and newsworthy content throughout the campaign.
Launch Event: ACW facilitated live events across 35 countries with opening and closing ceremonies attended by media and supplemented by interviews with key role players across local, pan-African and international platforms.
To support the media awareness campaign, an influencer programme was developed by creatively using the voice of others to tell the ACW story. These 'voices' included business leaders, young entrepreneurs, female coders, NGOs, SAP employees, and government and international blue-chip partners.
Media releases were translated into local languages and distributed to ACW's pan-African media networks. Social media messaging utilised SAP staff and volunteers, NGOs and partners as ambassadors to promote the digital skills messaging further.
Africa comprises 52 countries, with a plethora of cultures and languages. In just two years, ACW has empowered over a million youth across 35 countries to either write their first lines of code or to simply touch a computer for the first time.
Key partners: UNESCO YouthMobile, the CT Science Centre, and the Galway Education Centre.
Strategic partners: Google, openSAP, ALink Telecom.
NGO partners: Code For Change, which involved 100 secondary schools in SA.
ACW joined the #eSkills4girls initiative resulting in awarding grants to 20 organisations, thus improving digital skills and employment perspectives for 8,259 girls and women in emerging and developing countries. ACW also secured an average ratio of 43% female participation in coding workshops.
60 Google Micro Grants were awarded to community organisations in 10 African countries that are running initiatives to expose over 83,800 students to computer science.
The communications team surpassed its target by 15%, heightening ACW's strong collaboration efforts with its partners.
