Video: Elon Musk talks about the future development of China's electric vehicle market
Robert Pierson September 18, 2021	Electric Vehicles Leave a comment 18 Views
Elon Musk was invited to the 2021 World New Energy Vehicle Congress in Hainan, China. Although he did not attend in person, he did so via a pre-recorded video and spoke about the future development of the Chinese electric vehicle market, the safety of autonomous driving and the security of data. JayInShanghai shared the video on YouTube. There were three questions he answered.
What are your expectations for the future development of the Chinese electric vehicle market?
"China is the world's largest and most dynamic new energy vehicle market. Chinese consumers want a car with better connected and smarter features, so we see great potential for the growth of connected fully autonomous vehicles in China. Public sentiment and support for electric vehicles is at an inflection point never seen before, because they know it's the future.
"We continue to work hard to reduce costs and increase our production rate to make electric vehicles as affordable as possible. I have great respect for many Chinese car manufacturers who use these technologies. My frank observation is that Chinese automakers are the most competitive in the world, not least because some are very good at software. And it's the software that will shape the future of the automotive industry the most, from design to manufacturing to autonomous driving.
How Autonomous Driving Technology Improves Vehicle Safety
"Tesla is much more than a manufacturer of electric cars. We are developing fully autonomous vehicles with practical vision-based artificial intelligence, including the development of inference-level and training-level chips. I must stress that we believe that autonomous driving can be fully achieved by neural networks of vision. After all, humans use a biological vision neural network to drive. So it makes sense that computers would be able to drive using a silicon camera neural network.
"That said, safety is the top priority when we design Tesla vehicles and I have no doubts that we can achieve fully autonomous driving with 10 times the safety of the average human driver."
How do autonomous vehicles ensure data security?
"Data security is not only the responsibility of one company, but also the cornerstone of the development of the entire industry. Tesla will work with national authorities in all countries to ensure the data security of smart and connected vehicles. Tesla hopes to contribute to both a digitized future of shared benefits, responsibilities and governance.
"With the rapid growth of autonomous driving technologies, vehicle data security is becoming more of a concern than ever before. We believe there is a need to address public concerns by applying appropriate technical measures. "
Chinese automakers are the most competitive in the world
One thing that really struck me while watching the video is Elon's observation that Chinese automakers are the most competitive in the world. President Biden recently said:
"We are competing with China and many other countries for the 21st century.
"At the moment, China is leading the race. "
He also mentioned that the Chinese electric vehicle market is much larger than the US electric vehicle market at present. He is.
In June, MarketWatch noted that the United States has lagged behind China and Europe in recent years in manufacturing electric cars, and we are the third-largest manufacturer of electric vehicles. The United States' share of cumulative global electric vehicle production has fallen to 18 percent, from 20 percent since 2010, according to a report by the International Clean Transportation Council (ICCT).
Nic Lutsey, Director of ICCT, said: "The reality of investing and producing electric vehicles stands in stark contrast to the posture of US automakers. Lutsey added that strong government policies are needed to make up for lost ground.
"The US auto industry cannot afford to be consistently five years behind the rest of the world in one of the most promising and strategically important areas. "
The article notes that China is the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles and accounted for about 44% of electric vehicle production until 2020. In 2020, the United States produced more than 450,000 electric vehicles, and Tesla accounted for some. about 85%. The United States also offers fewer incentives to buyers of electric vehicles than other countries.

More people die from polluted water every year than from all forms of violence, including war, the U.N. said in a report Monday that highlights the need for clean drinking water.
The report, launched Monday to coincide with World Water Day, said an estimated 2 billion tons of waste water — including fertilizer run-off, sewage and industrial waste — is being discharged daily. That waste fuels the spread of disease and damages ecosystems.
"Sick Water" — the report from the U.N. Environment Program — said that 3.7 percent of all deaths are attributed to water-related diseases, translating into millions of deaths. More than half of the world's hospital beds are filled by people suffering from water-related illnesses, it said.
"If we are not able to manage our waste, then that means more people dying from waterborne diseases," said Achim Steiner, the U.N. Undersecretary General and executive director of UNEP.
The report says that it takes 3 liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water, and that bottled water in the U.S. requires the consumption of some 17 million barrels of oil yearly.
Improved wastewater management in Europe has resulted in significant environmental improvements there, the UNEP said, but that dead zones in oceans are still spreading worldwide. Dead zones are oxygen-deprived areas caused by pollution.
"If the world is to thrive, let alone to survive on a planet of 6 billion people heading to over 9 billion by 2050, we need to get collectively smarter and more intelligent about how we manage waste, including wastewaters," Steiner said.


I was glad there was a summit between North Korea's President Kim Jung-un and Donald Trump. They signed an agreement to work towards "denuclearization" of the Korean peninsula. That's a positive step forward. North Korea released 3 American prisoners prior to the summit. More good news.
Donald Trump went to Grand Falls, Montana fora "Make American Great Again" rally. Notably absent from Trump's entourage was Ryan Zinke, Secretary of the Interior, who served in Congress representing Montana. Known as Scott Pruitt's evil twin, he immediately cosied up to the fossil fuel industry. Like Pruitt, he is under investigation by the Office of Inspector General for his spending. See link below.
Trump was right on message, slammed the media in general as being dishonest and fake. (note, last I looked, Trump statements were rated "true" about 5% of the time according to Politico). He endorse US senator candidate Matt Rosendale, and bashed his opponent, current Senator Jon Tester. Tester had discovered that the President's nominee for the VA Secretary Ronnie Jackson, was known as the "candy man" for over prescribing medications and there was evidence that Jackson was drinking on the job. Hearings were postponed and then cancelled as Trump withdrew the nomination.
No mention of Scott Pruitt, who had just moments before, was forced to resign amid a slew of scandals. It would explain why Ryan Zinke, Secretary of Interior, wasn't there.
Since Mike Pompeo was in North Korea, it was time for Trump to start bragging at he got the prisoners free without spending 1.8 billion dollars like Obama had done, and the peace treaty with North Korea. All bluster and brag – and on top of it untrue.
This was an old Republican allegation – and a false claim right from the get-go. A payment of 400 million dollars was made to Iran. It wasn't ransom, but Iran's money which we had frozen, after the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. in 1979. Iran's claim was valid, and they were chasing after the US in World Court. They wanted 10 billion from the US. We couldn't really keep holding on to their money. What we did, was make the payment only after Iran had released American prisoners. There was no bargaining for prisoners, but the timing looked bad. See links below.
Then Trump launched into how the North Korea problem was a slam dunk because he was the man in charge. It was this very old, muy macho stunt, with the US Space Force, which I guess is supposed to intimidate people around the globe every time they look up at the sky.
Per CNN – see link below: This statement was made yesterday, in a 2020 campaign rally. Crowds loved it. Trump's assertion that North Korea has agreed to denuclearize and that "it's going to all happen" is a massive overstatement of the facts. What Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed in Singapore last month was a sort of outline of an agreement. There was nothing binding in it. And this week we got word that satellites have picked up what looks to be more construction at a ballistic missile site in North Korea. So yeah, this version of the North Korea story via Trump misses some major points.
Then came Mike Pompeo claim that the meetings were "productive." The reason why Kim Jong Un signed the agreement with Trump was because he considers South Korea to be a nuclear power, due to the US bases in South Korea, and that we have nuclear weapons ready to defend South Korea. Of course, we're not going to trade our bases for nuclear disarmament in the North. But of course, to make the summit look like a success for both leaders, the word "denuclearization" was left undefined.
Politics is one thing, diplomacy another. His bragging about how great a negotiator is, may in the end, cause the talks to fail.
But, if there is one take away from the Grand Falls, Montana rally, it is that Donald Trump is trying to set some kind of Guinness book of records, for the most lies in less than an hour. And his only competition is himself.
Trump may uncancel the Summit. But when he did cancel it, he wanted to make sure to point the blame at North Korea. At least, that is what President Trump wanted to hear from other world leaders. And of course, none of them are saying this.
President Moon of South Korea, said the cancellation of the Summit was regrettable. Others have said leaders in Seoul are perplexed.
It was Churchill's famous quote, "To jaw-jaw is always better than war-war." If history has shown us anything, it is that long term enemies can first learn to co-exist, and then become friends. It doesn't happen overnight. Animosity doesn't have to end in bloodshed.
Nobody really knew how the planned summit was going to turn out. Many experts on North Korea seemed surprised at Kim Jong Un sudden willingness to seek some kind of discussion on nuclear disarmament and reconciliation with South Korea after showing so much hostility and threats mainly to the US. From their perspective, they were achieving parity with South Korea, which they consider to be a nuclear power, given the strong military support from the US.
Certainly, much of the credit for bringing North Korea leader to the summit goes to the newly elected South Korean President Moon Joe-in. The invitation by President Moon to the Olympic games was the first real diplomatic outreach. This was followed by the inter-Korean summit, in April 27, 2018, which was the first summit in eleven years, and the first time President Moon and Chairman Kim have met in person.
The cancellation seems outright weird and dumb. Weird is the right word, because it has to do with an exchange of words between Vice President Pence that North Korea could end up like Libya (North Korea could follow the Libyan model) really made no sense. This weird Libyan comment started with John Bolton, then Donald Trump and then Pence said the same thing. The leader of Libya was killed in 2011 by his own people in the city of Sirte, during the Libyan civil war. However, there was covert aerial support by NATO including the US in spotting the convoy that Qaddafi was in.
The actions taken by the US and our European allies, in support of the Libyan civil war, have nothing in common with nuclear disarmament. Qaddafi had already given up his nuclear program and dismantled terrorist training sites in 2003. The Bush administration took Libya off of the list of state sponsored supporters of terrorism. This was an enormous help to the Qaddafi regime. Many (including myself) believe Qaddafi did this for economic reasons. I also believed he was becoming more worried about unrest in eastern part of the country, centered around Benghazi, as a potential future threat. Benghazi is where the first hostilities broke out in 2011.
The intervention in Libya occurred after UN Resolution 1973 (17-Mar-2011) during the Obama administration, was presumably to protect civilian lives. At the time, it was highly likely that Qaddafi would have bombed Benghazi and other cities which were rebelling against his authority. If he had bombed Benghazi, a city with a population of over 600,000 inhabitants, the death toll would have been enormous. Putin and others were highly critical of the US implementation of the Resolution, as we used it as a rationale to bomb Qaddafi's compound in Tripoli, late in 2011.
Many consider Hillary Clinton's support of the intervention in Libya, and demonstrations against Putin in Moscow 2011 as the reason for Russia's interference in US elections in 2016. The Arab Spring uprisings were against many autocratic regimes, including the Russian government.
The aftermath of the civil war and Libya's "Arab Spring" rebellion, is a long drawn out disaster, and none of relates to North Korea. I think the only fair take away message from Libya, is that the outcome of intervention, can be very unpredictable.
Perhaps what is so obvious to the North Korean regime, is the "Iran Model" where the US unilaterally pulled out of a nuclear disarmament deal, even though Iran was in compliance.
The day the talks were cancelled, the New York Times printed a story, about how China would likely be the greatest beneficiary as more acceptance of North Korea with other countries, is not in their game plan.
Diplomacy requires careful driving, and a clear focus on acceptable outcomes. Mike Pence following John Bolton's inflammatory rhetoric is the quickest way to veer off the road and slam into a telephone pole.
Yes. North Korea's nuclear ambitions are scary. This has been a problem passed from Clinton to Bush to Obama and now to Trump. Problem is any easy solution, like direct military action, is only likely to make things a lot worse. Imagine a solution that everyone in the area, South Korea, Japan and China, to name a few, are strongly opposed to, and that South Korea is the likely target of retaliatory strikes. Trump ran a campaign of full of themes. Now the reality sets in. North Korea is not solved by tweets.
Kim Jong Un's regime takes paranoia to extreme levels, maybe because their leader believes in an eventual war with the US or because it works. I believe it is the latter, because it distracts from the collapsing economy. Trump, much more than other presidents are playing right into the regime's game of paranoia and nationalism.
Diplomacy has to be a back door, quiet process of compromise, to lift sanctions.


"In the prior charge [against Graham], Stokes was referenced but he was not charged," Assistant U.S. Attorney Marlene Fernandez-Karavetsos said.
Cay Clubs founder Fred "Dave" Clark, 56, and wife Cristal Coleman Clark, 41, a former company executive, have been in custody on multiple federal counts since June. They were charged in September with committing fraud in the Cay Clubs failure.
"Fred Davis Clark Jr., Cristal R. Clark, Barry J. Graham, Ricky Lynn Scopes and their conspirators would reap the financial benefits of their scheme by obtaining millions of dollars in remuneration and disbursements from various Cay Clubs entities, which proceeds were derived from fraudulently obtained bank loans," prosecutors wrote.
Stokes was described as "one of Cay Clubs' highest producing sales agents" and director of investor relations before he took over Graham's post as director of sales in late 2007.
Cay Clubs acquired a network of resorts in the Florida Keys, Clearwater and Las Vegas beginning in 2004, and sought to sell individual units to investors as condo-hotels.
The firm, based in the Upper Keys, collapsed in 2008 under pressure to meet financial commitments and failure to perform promised renovations. Banks and about 1,400 investors lost an estimated total of $300 million, according to court records.
Prosecutors wrote that Cay Clubs became a Ponzi scheme when money from new investors was used to make "leaseback" payments promised to early investors. The firm had no way to pay contractual commitments or renovate the "dilapidated" resorts, prosecution documents say.
Federal prosecutors contend the Clarks and Graham sold units to each other to "artificially inflate prices of the Cay Clubs units in order to get the proceeds of larger bank loans...and to set benchmarks that would be used for future marketing."
A civil case lodged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against several Cay Clubs executives was dismissed under a statute-of-limitations rule.
However, crimes that harm banks or other financial institutions have a longer period for potential prosecution.
On Oct. 20, U.S. District Judge Jose E. Martinez ruled that the Clarks must remain in custody until their trial, now delayed until March, at the federal courthouse in Key West.
The trial previously was scheduled to begin in early November. The Clarks opposed the continuance.
Prosecutors said new charges against the couple, combined with a lack of hotel space in Key West's busy season, require the postponement.
Martinez also ruled Oct. 20 that he agrees with U.S. Magistrate Judge Lurana Snow's decision from July that found "there are no conditions or combination of conditions which reasonably will assure the defendants' appearance" in court if released on bond.
The Clarks left the Keys for the Cayman Islands shortly after Cay Clubs ceased operations in 2008. They later moved to Roatan, Honduras, when a civil case lodged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was imminent.
The SEC case was dismissed last May under a statute-of-limitations rule. However, crimes that harm banks or other financial institutions have a longer period for potential prosecution.

Wisconsin sex offenders won't be allowed name changes, even if they declare a 'trans' identity
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley wrote that the man's 'right to free speech does not encompass the power to compel the State to facilitate a change' of his legal identity.

MADISON, Wisconsin (LifeSiteNews) – A Wisconsin law forbidding individuals registered as sex offenders from legally changing their names will not be suspended for so-called "transgender" offenders, the state's conservative Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that a 22-year-old man who was convicted seven years ago of sexually assaulting a disabled teenage boy now wishes to identify as a woman and has petitioned courts to change his name and evade listing as a sex offender.
Though just 15 years old at the time of the conviction, the man – who is referred to as "Ella" in court documents – stood at six feet, five inches and weighed over 300 pounds. His victim was blind in one eye, weighed around 110 pounds, and autistic, court records show.
The court emphasized that "Ella's" proportions highlight the "forceful nature of the sexual assault."
Part of "Ella's" sentence was to be enlisted on the sex offender's register for 15 years, at which time he was registered as a male. State law forbids sex offenders from changing their name in any way from that which is recorded on the registry, according to the Associated Press.
After a lower court had ruled that the man's filing for a name change could not be lawfully made while on the register, an appeal in Wisconsin's Supreme Court was rejected 4–3.
The man's lawyers argued that the original ruling constituted a violation of his First and Eighth Amendment rights, supposedly infringing upon his free speech while representing a cruel or unusual punishment.
However, the Supreme Court disregarded the claim, with Justice Rebecca Bradley stating that "Ella's placement on the sex offender registry is not a 'punishment' under the Eighth Amendment, and that "[e]ven if it were, sex offender registration is neither cruel nor unusual."
Stand with the MLB players who refuse to wear Pride colors
13466 have signed the petition.
Let's get to 15000!
Five Tampa Bay Rays pitchers are now subject to a media witch-hunt after refusing to wear LGBT symbols on their hats and shirts because of their faith in God.
One ESPN commentator called the men "bigoted" for supposedly using "religious exemption BS" to say "no" to the Pride Month clothing.
It's time to stand with these men against the intolerance of the radical left.
SIGN the petition to support the MLB players opposing LGBT Pride
The careers and lives of the five pitchers — Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson — will be greatly harmed if we abandon them to the cancel culture of their critics, like ESPN's Sarah Spain.
"That religious exemption BS is used in sports and otherwise also allows for people to be denied health care, jobs, apartments, children, prescriptions, all sorts of rights," Spain claimed.
"We have to stop tiptoeing around it because we're trying to protect people who are trying to be bigoted..." she continued.
Now they're trying to cancel people for not wearing a gay pride patch. This is always the trajectory for the Left. First they demand tolerance, then acceptance, then celebration, then participation. Learn to say no to these people or it will never end. https://t.co/02zAKDJx77
— Best selling LGBT children's author Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) June 8, 2022
These men should be celebrated for their bravery, but instead are being derided for sticking up for their Christian beliefs.
SIGN the petition to stand with these five brave Christian players
People are being bullied into conformity by an LGBT movement that claims to be about tolerance and diversity, unless you're a devout Christian.
"Now they're trying to cancel people for not wearing a gay pride patch," the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh remarked.
"This is always the trajectory for the Left. First they demand tolerance, then acceptance, then celebration, then participation. Learn to say no to these people or it will never end."
It's hard to imagine sports columnists like Nancy Armour of USA Today attacking Muslims for their rejection of Pride propaganda, but she sees no problem in attacking these devout Christians.
Oh for God's sake. These folks who bastardize religion to suit their bigotry would do well to actually READ the New Testament. I'd recommend starting with Matthew. https://t.co/qAK875xDhZ
— Nancy Armour (@nrarmour) June 5, 2022
We hope Nancy Armour's reading of the New Testament extends to Romans 1:25-27.
Most commentators simply don't understand that loving everyone as a Christian means telling people certain actions are extremely harmful to the soul.
SIGN: These men were right to reject the LGBT Pride insignias on their hats and jerseys.
Indeed, by peeling off the rainbow logo from their jerseys and wearing the standard team hat, the five pitchers have taken a stand against an ideology that's antithetical to Christianity.
Major League Baseball (MLB) and every other professional sports league have promoted LGBTQ causes in recent years, including showcasing a "marriage" proposal between two homosexuals in front of a stadium packed with families.
Sports are no longer safe from the tenticles of the LGBT movement, with players being strong-armed into virtue signaling for causes they disagree with.
It's time for people to stand up and say "Enough".
SIGN the petition and play your part in resisting the advances of intolerant wokeism into every sphere of public life.
Thank you for signing and sharing this petition.

"We further hold Ella's right to free speech does not encompass the power to compel the State to facilitate a change of her legal name," Bradley added.
The judge noted that "Ella" is not legally prohibited from "dressing in women's clothing, wearing make-up, growing out her [sic] hair, or using a feminine alias" if he wishes. "The State has not branded Ella with her legal name, and when Ella presents a government-issued identification card, she [sic] is free to say nothing at all or to say, 'I go by Ella.'"
Bowing to "Ella's" preferred gender identity and despite being a biological male, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley wrote in dissent that requiring the sexual abuser "to maintain a name that is inconsistent with her [sic] gender identity and forcing her to out herself every time she presents official documents exposes her to discrimination and abuse."
Walsh Bradley agreed with the majority, however, that no cruel or unusual punishment had occurred.

Q: Time intelligence in BI tools In a language such as DAX, there is an entire page of functions related to (more-or-less) creating date tables of various start/end dates. For example:

DATESMTD    Returns a table that contains a column of the dates for the month to date, in the current context.

What are the main uses of this?

A: Suppose you want to create a slicer where you select a date and want to show the month-to-date, quarter-to-date, and year-to-date totals as separate metrics.
Instead of having to write the logic for these period-to-date metrics by hand, you can simply write:
TotalMTD = CALCULATE ( [Total], DATESMTD ( 'Date'[Date] )
TotalQTD = CALCULATE ( [Total], DATESQTD ( 'Date'[Date] )
TotalYTD = CALCULATE ( [Total], DATESYTD ( 'Date'[Date] )

Instead of having to write something more like this:
TotalQTD =
VAR SelectedDate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR QuarterStart =
    EOMONTH ( SelectedDate, - MOD ( MONTH ( SelectedDate ) - 1, 3 ) - 1 )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [Total],
        'Date'[Date] <= SelectedDate,
        'Date'[Date] > QuarterStart
)

Intricately carved doorways studded with brass and white walls draped with bougainvillea distinguish the towns that dot Kenya's coastline. Arab traders who landed on these shores in the 9th century brought their own culture, creating a different style of dress and architecture from what you see in other parts of Kenya.
Men stroll the streets wearing traditional caps called kofias and billowing caftans known as khanzus, while women cover their faces with black veils called bui-buis that reveal only their eyes. The creation of the Swahili language, a combination of Arabic and African Bantu, came about when Arab traders married African women. The term "Swahili" comes from the Arabic words sahil, meaning "coast," and i, meaning "of the." As seductive as the rhythm of the sea, Swahili is one of the most melodic tongues on earth. The coastal communities of Lamu, Malindi, and Mombasa are strongholds of this language and culture that once dominated communities from Somalia to Mozambique.
Mombasa, the country's second-largest city, was once the gateway to East. Mombasa's harbor still attracts a few large cruise ships, but nothing like the hundreds that sailed here before World War I. In Lamu, a Swahili proverb prevails: Haraka haraka haina baraka (Haste, haste, brings no blessing). The best-preserved Swahili town in Kenya, Lamu has streets hardly wide enough for a donkey cart. Winding alleyways are lined with houses set tight against one another. It's said that the beautifully carved doors found here are built first, then the house constructed around them. By the same token, a mosque is built first, and the town follows.
Azure waters from Lamu to Wasini are protected by the 240-km (150-mile) coral reef that runs parallel to the coast. The beaches have calm and clear surf that hovers around 27°C (80°F). As Ernest Hemingway put it, "The endless sand, the reefs, the lot, are completely unmatched in the world."

"It is a time when one is filled with vague longings; when one dreams of flight to peaceful islands in the remote solitudes of the sea, or folds his hands and says, What is the use of struggling, and toiling and worrying any more? let us give it all up." – Mark Twain
Heather James Fine Art presents an intimate exhibition of American art created by artists of the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age was an important moment in American history. Stretching from the end of the Civil War, overlapping with Reconstruction, and ending roughly with the outbreak of WWI, the Gilded Age is the period in which the character of the modern U.S. was formed. Industrialization, population shifts, immigration, political unrest and more shaped the era.
AN ERA OF GROWTH
During this period, the U.S. factory output increased by nearly 600 percent. A sense of enthusiasm and optimism spread but even as wealth boomed, the numbers of people trapped in poverty. New waves of immigrants came to the country in search of opportunities, helping to contribute to the economic prosperity even as laws were enacted to restrict not just immigration but specific groups of people. New technology including electrification and skyscrapers swept the country but in its shadow were the impoverished workers that built it. This tension of progress and retrogression is neatly surmised by a world's fair.
The World's Columbian Exposition, tied to the 400th anniversary of Columbus's voyage, occurred in 1893 towards the end of the age and is a microcosm of the U.S. and time. The fair placed the U.S. on a new level. With 27 million visitors and 65,000 exhibits, the fair introduced a variety of art and architecture, new technological innovations, and complicated cultural touchstones like Aunt Jemima with which we still grapple. Even at the time, great thinkers like Frederick Douglass and Ida B. Wells, pondered the history of the U.S. as it was told. Politically, it opened up the idea of the U.S. as an imperialist power. Thus, the fair, like the era, was both grand and turbulent, the roots of our current nation sprouting in that time.

A GOSPEL OF WEALTH
During the Gilded Age, art flourished, bolstered by the newly rich and reflecting the seismic shifts in the socio-political spheres. Artists of this time looked to capture the changes in America, solidifying the country's thoughts of itself as it grew and took an increasing global role. New York became the focus of American art. Bolstered by the burgeoning collectors and proliferation of auctions, galleries, and art clubs, New York established itself on the international scene. From the Vanderbilts to the Rockefellers and even those on a more modest budget, collectors amassed major works by international and American artists. Industrialists like Henry Clay Frick and as seen below, John and Lewis Wanamaker, would amass art collections surpassing many American museums of the time. They would donate works or leave their important collections to form museums.

Some artists, like Frederick Frieseke, became influenced by French Impressionism, formulating a uniquely American take. His works depicted the rich and growing middle class. Paintings highlighted the beautiful, the opulent, the elegant. Up until now, there was no better period for American artists to depict the rich and elite. The wealthy pumped their money and time into opera, theatre, and art, and they had money to spare. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish once threw a party for her dog; the dog arrived to the affair wearing a $15,000 diamond collar.
The exquisite painting in this exhibition demonstrates Frieseke as one of the leaders of the American Impressionists and exemplifies his primacy amongst the Giverny Group. Celebrated for his light dappled paintings, Frieseke utilizes a combination of brushstrokes to create distinctions of pattern and light in this work. This piece was commissioned by department store magnate and founder of the Professional Golfers Association Rodman Wanamaker as part of a mural for the Grand Deluxe Shelburn hotel in Atlantic City. The mural was later divided into seven pieces that were displayed in the hotel dining room. Frieseke and his contemporaries proved the point that America could produce art and artists at the same level as Europe.
FROM COAST TO COAST
The Gilded Age aligns with the so-called taming and closing of the American West. Artists headed out to document the landscape, giving shape to a country's ideas of itself as it settled lands and displaced original Native Americans. These paintings give both a sense of something gained and something lost. Many including William Wendt in this show would form the exceptional California Impressionists.
Many of the California Impressionists were immigrants like Wendt, showcasing another marker of the time period which saw a new wave of migration to the US and from coast to coast. California provided dramatic landscapes and a sense of freedom away from the rigidity of the East Coast and Europe. For more about the California Impressionists, visit our exhibition, California Here We Come: The California Impressionists which challenges the idea of New York as the center of American art.

FORGING AN IDENTITY
Others, including Winslow Homer and N.C. Wyeth, forged a new American identity in searching for the character of the nation through its people and its landscapes. Homer is considered one of the greatest of American realists; his influence and recognition is widespread, and his process marked a turn away from the divinely infused works of earlier landscape artists.
One of most noteworthy American illustrators and himself influenced by Homer, N.C. Wyeth is also the patriarch of one of the most esteemed artistic dynasties including his son Andrew and grandson Jamie. Wyeth produced around 3,000 paintings and illustrated 112 books; his popular illustrated series for publishing company Charles Scribner's Sons came to be known as Scribner's Classics and remain in print to this day filling our imaginations. For more about Wyeth and the forging of American identity, visit our exhibition, Meeting Life: N.C. Wyeth and the Met Life Murals.
A Beautiful Time: American Art in the Gilded Age brings together some of the best and brightest in art. These paintings offer a vision of America as it faced new opportunities and new challenges. If the nickname for the era hints at a thin veneer hiding a tumultuous time, these paintings offer both the surface beauty and profound meaning that characterized the era.

JKLF Chairman addresses people at Masjid Imam-I-Zaman at the bund Srinagar
Home » Kashmir » JKLF Chairman addresses people at Masjid Imam-I-Zaman at the bund Srinagar
By FK WEB DESK on 25/05/2018.
Unity is a Key to our success and only weapon with which we can triumph over falsehood. Slogans of development and economic growth have always been used by India to deny our freedom and right to self determination. Distance from religion has corrupted our society and put our social fabric in jeopardy// Muhammad Yasin Malik
Srinagar, 25 May: Unity is key to our success and only weapon with which we can triumph over falsehood. Slogans of development and economic growth have always been used by India to deny our freedom and right to self determination. Distance from religion has corrupted our society and put our social fabric in jeopardy. This was stated by the chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik while addressing a gathering at Masjid Imam-U-Zaman, the bund Srinagar today.
Stressing upon the need of strengthening unity among the ranks and files of Muslim Ummah, JKLF chairman in his speech said that we all believe in one Allah and his last Messenger (SAW), recite one Kalima, pray towards one Kaabah and follow one Quran and hence should stand united in all aspects of life. He said that enemy wants to divide us in the name of sects and creed and it is the duty of Ulema and Imams to forge and strengthen unity among our ranks.
While referring to recent statement of Indian Prime Minister Nerander Modi during his Kashmir visit in which he talked about development and peace, JKLF chairman said that every occupational power talks about peace, progress and development of the occupied land and lures oppressed people with the slogans of development, government jobs, quality life and other materialistic things like these. India from last seventy years has been doing the same and trying to pacify or deny our right to freedom and self-determination by various means of corruption like stated above but all this has yielded India nothing but shame, said JKLF chairman. In fact this delay in resolving the basic issue of Jammu Kashmir by talks of development and progress has turned Kashmiris more brave more resilient and more passionate for their freedom and right to self determination, asserted Yasin Malik. He said that without the resolution of Jammu Kashmir dispute, talks of peace, stability, progress and development are and will remain a distant dream and hence wasting time in camouflaging and denial can only add to more instability and decline and hence should be shunned as soon as possible. He said that Kashmir issue is a reality and no camouflaging or luring can deny or ridicule this reality. Therefore it is necessary to accept this reality and resolve the dispute on Jammu Kashmir in accordance to the wishes, aspirations, sacrifices and demands of the people of Kashmir as this can only ensure peace, stability and progress of south Asia and the world. On Modi Jee remarks about prosper Kashmir, JKLF chairman asked that how can Kashmiri who receive body bags of their loved ones on daily bases remain prosperous and happy and how can one be happy with his eye sight lost or body bruised by pellets.
Taking a dig on capitalism, JKLF chairman said that it has in fact ruined the very basic of our society and today we all have turned so worldly that morality and ethics are of no value for us. This urge for more money and more luxuries has taken away humility and modesty from us and today we see worst kind of anarchy and social disposition in our society which is really heartbreaking. He said that our Ulema, religious scholars, Imams and social leaders need to sit together and deliberate upon this situation and work for the betterment of our society on priority basis.
JKLF chairman said that every one of us knows about the importance of Zakat as it is one of the basic pillars of our faith. Zakat is to be utilized for needy, downtrodden, prisoners and other means like these and today our society is full of orphans, kith and kin of martyrs, needy people, prisoners and those who are in dire need of our help. We all should give priority to these people and try to utilize our Zakat and other contributions for these deserving so that no one among us remains hungry or without basic necessities of life.
Meanwhile JKLF chairman has strongly condemned the use of pellets and bullets by Indian forces and police at Nowhata and parts of Sher-I-Khas in which dozens of young boys have been injured among whom many have received pellets in their eyes. Terming this as police highhandedness, JKLF chairman prayed for the early recovery of those injured.

Q: Why does grep show me different output depending on my input file size? I'm a little puzzled by the output of my grep command, it seems to be truncating results based on the size of -f FILE. For instance, consider a 1000-line file of strings, patterns.txt, e.g.:
adkgjwofjdjglkadjglkjasdfahdg
dsklfjsldkfjaghwioeghsdlkjfld
sdkljfsdkljghsdlfhkwhfklshdfo
...
sdklfjsdklfjsdklfjslkjghdfkjj

and a 1Gb queryfile.txt to search for my patterns. When I run
grep -F -o -f patterns.txt queryfile.txt | grep -c adkgjwofjdjglkadjglkjasdfahdg

In this case, the command reports 0 matches for the 1st line, (adkgjwofjdjglkadjglkjasdfahdg) of patterns.txt, even though there are 35 occurrences in queryfile.txt. I verified this by reducing the patterns.txt file to its first 10 lines. Rerunning
grep -F -o -f patterns_reduced-list.txt queryfile.txt | grep -c adkgjwofjdjglkadjglkjasdfahdg

Properly reports the 35 occurrences of adkgjwofjdjglkadjglkjasdfahdg.
What's happening?

A: This shouldn't happen unless... your patterns overlap.
Check this example:
echo "xyxx" | grep -o -F yx$'\n'xy   # output: xy

This finds the second pattern (xy), and because of that it won't find the first pattern (yx).
echo "xyxx" | grep -o -F yx          # output: yx

Групповая скорость — это величина, характеризующая скорость распространения «группы волн» — то есть более или менее хорошо локализованной квазимонохроматической волны (волны с достаточно узким спектром). Обычно интерпретируется как скорость перемещения максимума амплитудной огибающей квазимонохроматического волнового пакета (или цуга волн). В случае рассмотрения распространения волн в пространстве размерностью больше единицы подразумевается, как правило, волновой пакет, близкий по форме к плоской волне.

Групповая скорость во многих важных случаях определяет скорость переноса энергии и информации квазисинусоидальной волной (хотя это утверждение в общем случае требует серьёзных уточнений и оговорок).

Групповая скорость определяется динамикой физической системы, в которой распространяется волна (конкретной среды, конкретного поля и т.п.). В большинстве случаев подразумевается линейность этой системы (точно или приближенно).

Для одномерных волн групповая скорость вычисляется из закона дисперсии:
 ,
где  — угловая частота,  — волновое число.

Групповая скорость волн в пространстве (например, трехмерном или двумерном) определяется градиентом частоты по волновому вектору :

или (для трехмерного пространства):

 Замечание: групповая скорость, вообще говоря, зависит от волнового вектора (в одномерном случае — от волнового числа), то есть различна для разной величины и для разных направлений волнового вектора.

Частные случаи
В одномерных средах без дисперсии групповая скорость формально совпадает с фазовой скоростью лишь в случае одномерных волн.

В диссипативных (поглощающих) средах групповая скорость уменьшается с увеличением частоты в случае нормальной дисперсии фазовой скорости и, наоборот, увеличивается в средах с аномальной дисперсией. При этом возможно преодоление групповой скоростью скорости света в выбранной среде,  а также отрицательная аномальная дисперсия, когда групповая скорость противоположна фазовой. В диссипативных структурах (например, плазмонных) групповая скорость может иметь любое значение: меньше скорости света, больше скорости света, быть отрицательной по отношению к фазовой скорости, переходить через бесконечность. Такая групповая скорость есть величина кинематическая (как и фазовая скорость) и определяет скорость переноса биений двух бесконечно близких по частоте монохроматических волн (как ее рассматривал Стокс). Для Гамильтоновых систем (замкнутых систем без диссипации) в общем случае С.М. Рытовым (ЖЭТФ, 7, 930, 1947) доказана теорема, утверждающая, что групповая скорость совпадает со скоростью переноса электромагнитной энергии монохроматической волной (теорема Леонтовича-Лайтхилла-Рытова). Отрицательная (по отношению к фазовой скорости) групповая скорость в таких недиссипативных средах и структурах соответствует обратным волнам. В диссипативных средах и структурах направление движения энергии определяет вектор Пойнтинга или направление затухания волны.

Если дисперсионные свойства среды таковы, что волновой пакет распространяется в ней без существенных изменений формы своей огибающей, групповая скорость обычно может быть интерпретирована как скорость переноса «энергии» волны и скорость, с которой могут быть переданы с помощью волнового пакета сигналы, несущие информацию, (то есть «скорость распространения причинности»).

В классическом пределе квантовомеханических уравнений скорость классической частицы представляет собой значение групповой скорости соответствующей квантовомеханической волновой функции. Одно из пары канонических уравнений Гамильтона:

— есть, таким образом, классический предел приведенного выше выражения для групповой скорости; это особенно ясно в декартовых координатах, учитывая

История

Идея групповой скорости, отличающейся от фазовой скорости волны, впервые предложена Гамильтоном в 1839 году. Первое достаточно полное рассмотрение сделано Рэлеем в его «Теории звука» («Theory of Sound») в 1877.

Abby Penados: State Bound
Sophomore Abby Penados
By Julie Abelson, Staff Writer
For many athletes here at Niles West, making it to state is a hefty goal. Many work towards that goal throughout their four years on the team and still only a select few achieve it. However, for sophomore Abby Penados, this is not the case. Even though the 2019 tennis season is only her second season competing at the high school level, this will be her second year going to state.
Penados had a humble beginning to her tennis career. She began practicing at the age of five, with her father coaching her until she began to play at a competitive level. With her parents playing as well, it was really only a matter of time before Penados would grow a love and passion for the sport. At eight years old, Penados began playing tournaments. By gaining experience along with winning the tournaments, she became extremely dedicated and motivated. From that point on, she practiced her tennis skills as a club sport of about 40 girls. The girls were divided into different levels based on skill, and it did not take Penados long before she began to climb to the top steadily. At that point, it looked like nothing could stop her.
However, when Penados reached the age of 12, she found herself unhappy about where she was in terms of skill level and accomplishments. Because of this disappointment, she was leaning towards taking a break from the sport. It wasn't until she became exhausted from countless practices and tournaments that she officially decided to take a break of 4 months.
"I felt worn out. I played tournaments almost every week, and I was tired. I didn't want to play anymore," Penados said.
Penados eventually decided to return to tennis, but it definitely was not easy.
"When I returned, I was losing, but I feel that practice and determination is what made me better," Penados said.
Fast forward to high school, and the athlete that climbed her way to the top was back, making state for tennis in her freshman year as a Lane Tech student. Penados transferred from Lane Tech to Niles West this year, and she did not hesitate to make her mark on the courts.
With ease, Penados placed 3rd in sectionals and placed 9th in state, moving up from where she placed the year before. In Penados's eyes, it was her coaches and inspirational team that got her where she was.
"If my team wasn't there, I feel that I would get in my head too much," Penados said.
When she first started at Niles West, Penados was met with the typical challenges a student finds when entering a new school.
"I was really nervous. I saw all the courts they had and all the girls. At Lane Tech, the team was really small. The West team intimidated me," Penados said.
Penados did not back down this time though. Instead, she persevered until she was able to make lasting bonds with her new team.
"At first, it was really hard. Season helped a lot though because my team introduced me to others. I met people, and they introduced me to their friends. They all helped me navigate West. Now, they're really close to me, and I connected to everyone really fast," Penados said.
For the future, Penados looks to become an all-state tennis athlete, eventually securing a scholarship for a D1 or D2 college. Regardless of what the future holds, Penados is constantly looking to improve. She does not back down, a strength that is noticed by her teammates. Senior Tegan Bollinger is impressed with what Penados has already accomplished.
"Practicing with Abby is mind-blowing. I honestly didn't know it was humanly possible for someone to be as good as she is at her age," Bollinger said.
Her coaches also continue to be impressed by her skill as a teammate daily. Coach George Bravos admits that he has been very lucky to have her as a team member because of her positive influence on the team.
"She made the entire team better. Her athleticism and competitiveness had trickled down to the rest of the team where [they] were better because of her practice habits and her leadership," Bravos said.
Penados is looking forward to competing next year, with her eyes glued to her main goal: being an all-state athlete in tennis.

Turkington takes race two win at Donington
Latest News posted 19th April 2015
Colin Turkington has continued his championship defence in fine style by taking a near lights-to-flag victory in race two at Donington Park.
Turkington's VW made it by the pole-sitting machine of Gordon Shedden on the opening lap, and although the pair scrapped relentlessly early on, the VW eventually pulled away to take a comfortable victory.
Such has been the competitiveness to the start of the 2015 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship that Turkington becomes the fifth different driver to win in the opening five rounds.
The battle behind the Ulsterman was far from straight forward as a number of drivers held second at different stages of the race. Honda's Matt Neal won the war after scrapping his way from seventh on the grid, underlining his own impressive start to the campaign.
The telling moment came on lap 14 when Neal's Civic Type R and the Mercedes of Adam Morgan went side-by-side on the exit of the Esses. Morgan's A-Class bounced across the grass as Andrew Jordan eyed his own opportunity in the Pirtek MG. Morgan lost out and Jordan briefly tucked into second, albeit with a slight touch to Neal's Honda. Triple champ Neal replied instantly to grab the position back into Redgate before pulling away to take second.
WIX Racing's Morgan wouldn't be denied his podium after further contact with Jordan's MG at the Craner Curves saw the latter's car slide luridly sideways. The 2013 champion recovered to finish fourth ahead of the battling VW of Jason Plato.
The fight for sixth went down to the wire with Rob Collard's BMW crossing the line 0.009s ahead of Josh Cook's Chevrolet. It was a sensational climax to the race with Cook's consolation being pole position for this afternoon's finale, having been chosen at random during the reverse grid draw live on ITV4. Triple Eight's Jack Goff took eighth ahead of the WSR duo of Sam Tordoff and Andy Priaulx.
There was a brief safety car period early on when the Ford Focus of Alex Martin made heavy contact with the VW CC of Warren Scott, sending the Team BMR boss into the gravel and out of the race.
Turkington now leads the championship by 14 points from both Neal and Goff. Shedden is a further two points back with Plato another two clicks adrift. MG lead the Manufacturer/Constructor standings with Team BMR heading the teams table.

What you need to know about the new job training programs in the federal budget
globalnews.ca 19 Mar 2019 at 13:14
It does this through two main programs. The first is called the Canada Training Benefit. It's a program designed to provide Canadians with funding to help pay for retraining courses.
Every year, workers who are between the ages of 25 and 64 and who make between $10,000 and $150,000 will get a tax break for job retraining. They will earn a maximum tax credit of $250 a year, up to a lifetime limit of $5,000.
This can be used to cover up to half of the cost of training – like fees for a college course or other professional training programs.
The other piece of the job retraining program is focused on the time it takes workers to take those courses. A new benefit, administered through employment insurance, will give people up to four weeks of income support every four years.
This means that workers would get up to 55 per cent of their average weekly earnings during that time period. They would also be entitled to leave and job protection during that time, so that their jobs are waiting for them when they come back.
Both programs are expected to launch in 2020 – after the next federal election.
Beata Caranci, chief economist of TD Bank, thinks these measures are good for workers and the economy. The "social contract" of going to school, getting a degree and getting a long-term job based on that education doesn't really exist anymore, she said.
In some of her research, she said, parents told her they were concerned about their children's future. They told her, "I'm encouraging my child to go to university or to college but yet I can't say with certainty or confidence to them that they are going to have these great jobs at the end of it and whether that degree will have a shelf life of two years, versus ten years previously."
Now, she said, careers are all about lifelong learning. "The career trajectory is not just up and down as it used to be. It's these lateral moves to the shifts in the economy."
She thinks that these programs will help employees learn new skills. "What [the government is] trying to do is give people the opportunity and put the decision in their hands to be able to do it."
David Macdonald, of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, is more critical of the measures. "Fundamentally, the big problem for students is that they are going to university, they are going to college, they are paying high fees and they've got the debt to show for it," he said.
"And after they graduate, they're expected to continue to incur these ever-larger fees for tuition for lifetime training."
Caranci said that larger firms currently offer training programs, so these measures are targeted more at people working for small and medium-sized firms.
"Ultimately I think it's to the benefit of the labour market. The more people are encouraged to keep their skills up to date, the better-off both the firm and the broader economy's going to be."
The federal budget also includes reduced interest rates for the Canada Student Loan program, as well as expanding the Student Work Placement Program.

Q: jquery AJAX function issue I'm trying to run a function that executes a spinner while a PHP script is loading and also refreshes a PHP file that counts the number of rows inserted to show the script's progress.
This is what I have so far:

Right now the updateProgress() function starts after the first interval is over even if the button hasn't been pushed, so I'm assuming I have to tie it in with the spinner function but I'm just not entirely sure how to make that work.
EDIT: Here's the HTML that displays the button and the div's:

Click to Import New Data into AssetData Table

      <input type="button" id="driver" value="Load Data" onClick="this.disabled=true;">

A: You need:

*

*Load page with button. When you push button file execute.php should upload.

*After user push button, spinner appearing and browser starts make ajax request to progress.php.

*When execute.php uploaded, spinner disappears, progress results disappears.

jQuery code below doing this:
var myTimer;

$(document).ready(function () {
    // Execute the primary function
    $("#driver").click(function (event) {
        $.ajax({
            url: 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat=35&lon=139',
            success: function (data) {
                //$("#someField").html(data); // you put result of executting `execute.php` into #someField field by uncommenting this string
                $("#spinner").toggle();
                $("#content").fadeOut("fast");
                clearInterval(myTimer);
            },
            error: function (bob) {
                // show error
                console.log('get error');
                clearInterval(myTimer);
            },
            beforeSend: function () {
                myTimer = setInterval(function () {
                    /* // uncomment this when you will use it with real files and server
                    $.ajax({
                        url: 'progress.php',
                        success: function (data) {
                            $("#content").html(data);
                        }
                    });
                    */

                    $("#content").append("progress data
");
                    console.log('progress executed');
                }, 1); // change delay, when you work with real files and server
                $("#spinner").toggle();

                console.log('ajaxSend handler executed');
            }
        });
        console.log('main function executed');
    });

});

Look this example (this example for code above), please.
Now, this code do all what you need. Right?
Don't forget to uncomment some lines (ajax requests), change intervals, remove debug outputs (line 29, for example) etc.
Notice (and change it, when you will use my code) url field of execute.php ajax-requst. I had used weather api (just for example, you musth change it to progress.php because download this data takes some time, so you can see results. Remove weather url and put url to progress.php.
Also, you can check this example. Code is tided up and this version allows to load file and after that load another. And after that load another. + now myTimer+setInterval+function progress synergizes better, I suppose.
Hope, this will help you.

Advance Book Review: Eight World Cups by George Vecsey
Eight World Cups on Amazon (Release Date: May 13)
In Eight World Cups, New York Times sportswriter George Vecsey reflects upon over twenty years of covering soccer's biggest event. Vecsey has spent over four decades writing for The Grey Lady and wrote the "Sports of the Times" column from 1982 through 2011, which largely focused on the broader off-field impacts and aspects of athletics. His new book offers a very personal account of covering the World Cup and his experiences following legendary teams and players such as Diego Maradona and Socrates. It is an intelligently-written recent history of the World Cup and while it is likely to tread upon some familiar territory for most readers, it is still a worthwhile pickup for soccer fans and those interested in the international phenomenon of the event.
Eight World Cups is largely structured chronologically with Vecsey describing highlights from the 1982 World Cup onwards. The book is largely a personal recounting of Vecsey's experiences at various World Cups rather than a broad overview of the events. Due to some fundamental laws of physics, he wasn't able to be at every game and he had to be selective in what games he attended. I found this "limitation" to help prevent the book from becoming a collection of basic summaries of each World Cup. He often becomes attached to certain teams and cities and tries to catch as many of their games as possible. Additionally, he generally chooses well (i.e. interesting/good teams with interesting/good players) and its not like the reader is ever mired in absurdly detailed descriptions of the rather inept Greece team in 1994 or something. Vecsey shares personal encounters with English hooligans and other fans, interviews with players and referees and anecdotes about the culture and quirks of the hosting countries. He strikes a very nice balance between describing the games themselves as well as off-field issues such as refereeing, the treatment of players, and the murky internal politics of FIFA. Writing for an American newspaper, Vecsey pays a good bit of attention to the American squads as well. He also weaves the history of the U.S. National Men's and Women's teams between the World Cup chapters and their remarkable evolution since he started covering the sport.
Vecsey is a gifted writer who describes the matches with lyrical and detailed prose that showcases his knowledge and passion for the sport. I especially enjoyed the chapters on the earlier World Cups that I was much less familiar with. His recollections of more recent events contained fewer new insights as they covered events I was already pretty familiar due to the humongous amount of press coverage and scrutiny garnered by the World Cup. I still enjoyed these portions, just not as much as those that preceded them.
In Sum
A recommended read for soccer fans looking for a fun read with some intellectual heft. Die-hard soccer fans well-versed in the history of the sport may not find that many new insights, but casual fans and those just interested in the spectacle of the World Cup should pick up Eight World Cups.
