Q: Trouble setting up dynamic bit-rate RTMP streaming via Cloudfront I'm trying to set up RTMP dynamic streaming via Coudfront but getting "Error loading stream: Manifest not found or invalid" in JWPlayer.
The link to the webiste is http://testiranje7.tk/video_cdn.html and the code that is trying to load the .smil file is:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Loading the player...

The .smil file is in Amazon S3 bucket and it holds the following code:
<smil>

    <meta base="rtmp://s2as2xpom4wy97.cloudfront.net:1935/cfx/st/"/>

    <switch>
        <video src="HD_MOV_2_1600.mp4" system-bitrate="1600000" />
        <video src="HD_MOV_2_1200.mp4" system-bitrate="1200000" />
        <video src="HD_MOV_2_800.mp4" system-bitrate="800000" />
        <video src="HD_MOV_2_400.mp4" system-bitrate="400000" />
    </switch>

</smil>

I got the syntax from a site where dynamic streaming appears to be working, but it doesn't work on my site and I can't figure out why....

A: I copied your html file and smil file and saved them in a same directory.
Then instead of loading the playlist file through http protocal i.e.
file:"http://oregonvedro.s3.amazonaws.com/videos_playlist.smil",
I loaded it  as
file: "videos_playlist.smil"
and it worked fine in my computer.
To run it in a domain/ip you might have to use a premium license of jwplayer.


Unfortunatly he's old school, "you must fear open source"
>I guess part of your job is education.
pretty much any Unix but Netscape DS only runs on solaris.
on essentially. Basically I am looking for real world testimonials.
Thanks for any help you can offer..

HEARING ON
"IRAN AND HEZBOLLAH IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE"
Wednesday, March 18, 2015 2177 Rayburn House Office Building Washington D.C.
Chairman Duncan, Chairwoman Ros-Lehtinen, Ranking Members Sires and Deutch, distinguished members of both subcommittees.
Good morning, and it's a privilege to appear before you today.
The death of Dr. Alberto Nisman on January 18th, shocked us all. I remember receiving the news on a late Sunday afternoon in quit disbelief. Hoping this was just another internet rumor. Unfortunately, several hours later, his death was confirmed.
Aside from the shock—at the time—my initial reaction was that Iran was involved.
Of course, this is not proven—and most likely we'll never know all the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death. But as time goes by, and more evidence is revealed—we DO know more about the extent to which Iran has infiltrated Argentina.

Chairman Duncan, Chairwoman Ros-Lehtinen, Ranking Members Sires and Deutch, and distinguished members of both subcommittee's. Good morning, and thank you for your leadership on this issue and inviting me to appear before you today.
Almost two years ago, I testified before another committee that Iran's influence in the Western Hemisphere had grown tremendously over the last 30 years since the dawn of the Iranian revolution. At the time, there was sufficient evidence to make this statement; however, there was also evidence to suggest that Iran was reassessing its priorities, presence and activities in Latin America, due to the considerable political and economic changes happening both in the region and in Tehran….

Subcommittee Hearing: The President's New Cuba Policy and U.S. National Security Publications, Speech / Presentations
Senior Fellow, Center for a Secure Free Society
Committee on Foreign Affairs:
Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere
"The President's New Cuba Policy and U.S. National Security"
Chairman Duncan, ranking member Sires, distinguished committee members, thank you for the opportunity to share my analysis of Cuban events and U.S.-Cuban relations with you in my capacity as an economist and as an observer of Cuba in the hemisphere.It is an honor to be here.
Mr. Chairman, of events in Cuba it can be truly stated that the more things change the more they stay the same. The chronic economic woes, the political control by a ruling elite and the alliances with nefarious and extra-regional actors have underscored, and often overturned, whatever possible economic and political reforms appear from time to time or the best intentions for normal relations.
Today, as the U.S. considers a new policy toward Cuba it is imperative that we separate intentions from realities and neither underestimate nor overestimate Cuba's strength and threats. My testimony will focus on three areas of concern: economic, political and foreign policy/national security.

Introducing Nikki Yanofsky, the 15-year-old singing sensation set to take the world by storm. Raised on jazz, Nikki has been singing all her life and has been compared to greats Billie Holliday, Judy Garland, and Ella Fitzgerald. Her hometown newspaper, the Montreal Gazette, says of her voice, "there is a richness and a maturity and a heart and an effortlessness that divas twice or three times her age would kill for."
Now, this energetic and gifted teenager - with a smile as big as her voice - is preparing a new album full of re-imagined jazz standards, folk classics and original material. Set for an early 2010 release, Nikki's album was produced by Phil Ramone and Jesse Harris (Norah Jones), and will showcase her songwriting collaborations with Harris and lengendary singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith. Another highlight includes a song written for her by the indie darling Feist. For a taste of what is to come, check out videos from Nikki's RawSessions, where she performs her original song "For Another Day" and covers the Beatles, Norah Jones and more.

Q: Does Files.createTempDirectory remove the directory after JVM exits normally? Does Files.createTempDirectory remove the directory after JVM exits normally? Or do I need to manually recursively remove the temporary directory content?

A: Temporary directories created by Files.createTempDirectory() are not deleted upon system exit (JVM termination), unless you configure them to do so:

A shutdown-hook, or the File.deleteOnExit() mechanism may be used to delete the directory automatically.

Meaning you could call:
Path tmp = Files.createTempDirectory(null);
tmp.toFile().deleteOnExit();

However you cannot delete a directory unless it's empty, as document by File.delete():

Deletes the file or directory denoted by this abstract pathname. If
this pathname denotes a directory, then the directory must be empty in
order to be deleted.

So we need to get a bit fancier if you want the directory and its contents deleted.  You can recursively register a directory and its children for deletion like so:
public static void recursiveDeleteOnExit(Path path) throws IOException {
  Files.walkFileTree(path, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
    @Override
    public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file,
        @SuppressWarnings("unused") BasicFileAttributes attrs) {
      file.toFile().deleteOnExit();
      return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
    }
    @Override
    public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path dir,
        @SuppressWarnings("unused") BasicFileAttributes attrs) {
      dir.toFile().deleteOnExit();
      return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
    }
  });
}

Take note however, this registers all currently existing files for deletion - if after calling this method you create new files, they and their parent directories will not be deleted per the documented behavior of File.delete().
If you want to delete a directory upon exit, regardless of the contents of said directory, you can use a shutdown-hook in an almost identical manner:
public static void recursiveDeleteOnShutdownHook(final Path path) {
  Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(
    new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        try {
          Files.walkFileTree(path, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
            @Override
            public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file,
                @SuppressWarnings("unused") BasicFileAttributes attrs)
                throws IOException {
              Files.delete(file);
              return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
        }
        @Override
        public FileVisitResult postVisitDirectory(Path dir, IOException e)
            throws IOException {
          if (e == null) {
            Files.delete(dir);
            return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
          }
          // directory iteration failed
          throw e;
        }
        });
      } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Failed to delete "+path, e);
      }
    }}));
}

Note however that calling this repeatedly registers a new shutdown thread each time, which could potentially cause problems at scale.  File.deleteOnExit() stores a set of registered files, and deletes all of them in one shutdown hook.  If you need to delete many directories in this manner, you'd want to implement something similar.

A: As per the API, no it doesn't, you need to manually remove the directory, using file.deleteOnExit() method.

As with the createTempFile methods, this method is only part of a temporary-file
  facility.
  A shutdown-hook, or the File.deleteOnExit() mechanism may be used to
  delete the directory automatically.

A: You can add apache commons io dependency to your project and then use FileUtils.deleteDirectory() to do something like:
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            FileUtils.deleteDirectory(tmp_dir_path.toFile());
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
});

For more information about apache commons check:
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/

A: No it doesn't - createTempDirectory

As with the createTempFile methods, this method is only part of a
  temporary-file facility. A shutdown-hook, or the File.deleteOnExit()
  mechanism may be used to delete the directory automatically.

A: No, it doesn't. You have to do it on your own. Or use java.io.File.deleteOnExit() but I guess it doesn't work for non-empty directories

A: If using JUnit 5, the @TempDir annotation is super nice. It also recursively deletes the created directory when the test or test-class ends (depending on the scope of the annotation).
For example:
@BeforeAll
public static void setup(@TempDir Path tempDir) {
    // The dir will be deleted when the class ends, ala @AfterClass
}

Or
@Test
public static void myTest(@TempDir Path tempDir) {
    // The dir will be deleted when this test method ends
}

Taiwan's Executive Yuan (Cabinet) recently approved the new "Smart EV Development Strategy and Action Plan" proposed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), confirming that future development direction of the island's EV industry will focus on electric cars, electric buses, and electric scooters.
Industry insiders point out that the original electric vehicle (EV) development plan of the Taiwan government allotted the lion's share of subsidies and resources to the electric car segment.
The new action plan will extend different electric car pilot projects throughout Taiwan to 2016, with an eye on achieving a local-content ratio of 55% for key electric car systems and parts two years later.
Regarding the newly targeted electric bus segment, all related government authorities, including the MOEA, Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), and Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) will jointly try to achieve a "10-year, 10,000 e-buses" goal on the island. The required local-content ratio will be 50% in 2016. The plan also calls for the export of some key parts.
Many major cities in Taiwan have adopted pure-electric and hybrid buses.
The government will also continue to nourish the e-scooter segment on the island, aiming to set up a sound and more comprehensive e-scooter supply chain and boost the performance of Taiwan-made e-scooters. The action plan aims to increase the the number of e-scooters running on Taiwan's roads to 37,000 by 2017, with a self-content ratio of 93%.
The original "Smart EV Development Strategy and Action Plan" was approved by the Executive Yuan in April, 2010 and is expected to help prod the development of the EV industry in Taiwan, and set up several EV pilot projects to evaluate possible operation modes and business models for assembled-EV makers. According to some government officials, the collaboration between different government units has achieved some initial success, and many Taiwanese EV-related makers have also accumulated abundant technical capacity or formed cooperation ties with international customers/partners. However, the penetration of EVs in Taiwan, as well as worldwide, is still very low due mainly to lack of major breakthroughs in battery technologies, higher costs for EVs, and consumer concern over EV cruise range and battery safety.
Many other nations and cities have also mapped out EV-adoption goals in the past few years, but few have achieved their goals. Shanghai of China, for example, brought 1,633 EVs to their roads between 2009 and 2012, achieving only 2% of its targeted volume of 80,000 (by 2015). L.A. of the U.S. introduced some 2,000 EVs into operation during the same period, only 2.5% of targeted volume of 80,000 units in 2015. Berlin of Germany and Amsterdam of the Netherlands, during the same period, targeted to achieve 15,000 and 10,000 unit goals, and the achievement ratios now are 2.4% (350 units) and 7.5% (750), respectively.
Among all similar EV promotion goals worldwide, Taiwan aimed to introduce only 3,000 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by the end of 2013, and now the achievement ratio is 9.6%, or 287 units.
Though the market has fallen far short of expectations, international automakers, EV makers and governments have been continuously advancing in related fields, while also incorporating plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and extended range electric vehicle (EREV) models into their R&D or subsidizing targets.
A BEV model developed and produced by Taiwan's Yulon Group.
The Chinese government, for example, added BEV and PHEVs to its subsidy program in late 2013, providing RMB300,000 to 500,000 for each pure-electric bus and RMB250,000 for each plug-in hybrid bus. For passenger EVs, the Chinese government offers RMB35,000 to 60,000 for each BEV, or RMB35,000 for a PHEV. The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has also provided various incentives to EV buyers, including cash subsidies and tax credits. The department has also set up an Energy Innovation Hub for big-scale EV and battery-technology R&D works.
On the other hand, most international research institutes are optimistic about future sales of EVs. The International Energy Agency (IEA), for example, forecasts that global sales of pure electric cars and PHEVs will outstrip one million units in 2015 and grow to some six million in 2020. Frost & Sullivan also estimates that sales of extended range electric vehicles (EREVs) will reach some 100,000 units in 2014, and the annual volume will top 350,000 in 2018.
Taiwan has many makers of high-quality e-scooters.
1. The MOEA, MOTC and EPA will jointly promote the replacement of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) buses with electric buses, including tourism coaches and shuttle buses.
2. The government will continue to provide incentives such as commodity- and license-tax holidays for EVs to boost consumers' purchase willingness.
3. The government is carrying out projects to "electrify" cargo vehicles used at fruit and vegetable wholesale market, as well as promote battery recycling systems.
4. Government-sponsored research institutes (such as Industrial Technology Research Institute, Automotive Research & Testing Center, Metal Industries Research & Development Centre, etc.) are developing EREV and PHEV models to encourage commercialization by private makers.
5. The government will continue to promulgate new regulations and industrial standards to more effectively integrate upstream and downstream sectors, as well as set up local industry value chains.
The government also plans to further expand the regional scope of e-scooter pilot projects, as well as set up demonstration operations in the local express delivery, home delivery and postal service sectors. On the other hand, the government will continue to provide commodity-tax breaks for new e-scooters sold in Taiwan and commission related research institutes to develop high-performance e-scooter models to tap into major e-scooter markets and expand Taiwan's e-scooter exports.
To meet the increasingly strong consensus on carbon reduction and environment protection, Taiwanese government expects its Smart EV Development Strategy and Action Plan to make e-buses, e-cars and e-scooters play a much bigger role in Taiwan's transportation system. The higher EV penetration is also expected to fuel the rise of an EV value-chain and position Taiwan as a major exporter of assembled EVs and key systems and parts.

Toni Elías loses in Alabama and the second MotoAmerica title will be played in the last race
The recent history of MV Agusta is a constellation of strange movements and proitalian dreams that has ended up in Russian hands. The magnate Giovanni Castiglioni has had to give in his intention to create a 100% Italian brand of halo and the new address with CEO Timur Sardarov backed by Black Ocean Group and ComStar Invest have got to work.
The first thing they needed in Varese to strengthen the future of the brand is capital. First they have looked for it by turning their business model and now, even more importantly, they have secured sufficient financing to operate during the next five years .
A lot of work to do for MV Agusta
MV Agusta's finances in recent years have followed an extremely erratic trajectory. Production cuts, creation of ultra-exclusive models at an exorbitant price to look for cash , times on the verge of bankruptcy … Giovanni Castiglioni, son of the famous Claudio Castiglioni, sought in his megalomaniac way to push the brand forward and time has proved that his plan was not correct .
After expelling Mercedes-AMG from the shareholder (25% of the share capital), Timur Sadarov is the new CEO , and Castiglioni has remained a shadow advisor. The changes have not been expected with the emergence of new models such as the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Gold Series and the Superveloce 800 Gold Series , which should be followed by more accessible and less exotic versions.
The directive has set an annual target of 25,000 units sold , with the sights set no longer on high displacement motorcycles, but on average on its 800 cc platform. Another fundamental part of the new MV Agusta plan is the reconstruction of its commercial network and services focusing on the United States, Europe and Asia.
For this, money is needed and MV Agusta has achieved enough to sustain his plan in the short term over the next five years. In the press release provided by the brand, neither the amount of capital raised nor its source is mentioned .
In any case, it must be a fairly remarkable amount, since the sales figures of MV Agusta are practically inert. The brand does not offer sales figures, but in 2018 according to the Statista portal they sold 518 motorcycles in Italy , one of its main markets.
They have a lot to improve their motorcycles beyond aesthetics to reach 21,000 units, an amount that is almost half of Ducati's sales figures. In addition, the new MV Agusta models should also be more affordable to get more volume, because for now the new Brutale 1000 Gold Series costs 42,990 euros and the Superveloce 800 Gold Series 27,990 euros , both limited to 300 units and all awarded.
Another interesting change in the MV Agusta directive is the signing of Massimo Bordi and Paolo Bettin . Both will be sitting next to Sadarov and will be in charge of guiding the direction of the brand. They may not sound like you, but Bordi (vice president) is the father of Ducati's water-cooled four-valve, desmodromic engine and was already part of the MV Agusta management team at the time of Claudio Castiglioni. Bettin will be the chief financial officer and has extensive experience in the finance sector.

Hope you're all in the mood for a mini novel packed full with all sorts of info. Last week we posted a little teaser of what we've been up to, a little sneak peek if you will. I'm about to let the cat out of the bag a little. So here we are... the beginning of our second season, and start of 2017. We're off to an awesome start, and really... we're panning out to have a pretty incredible year. There's only one thing truly standing in our way of Akron Food Truck greatness, and well... its actually the current legislation set in place in regards to food trucks IN Akron. This is something some of you may know about, but most of you probably are not as fluent with. We get asked all the time why there aren't more food trucks in Akron, and that is precisely why. Haha... we're apparently the only ones crazy enough to pursue this.
A quick brief down of what exactly we are talking about here: The current legislation in place for Akron Food Trucks was constructed about 5 years ago, a different time, a different perception, and a different mayor. Times have changed pretty dramatically around here since then, yet the legislation hasn't been revisited since that point and time. To nutshell what is currently in place right now... its essentially and literally almost impossible to operate a food truck freely within the city limits of Akron, like you see in so many of our neighboring cities. There are some "loop holes" such as private property and public sanctioned events which in turn does umbrella us... however... anything in regards to city property (again... aside from a sanctioned event) in a no go. Period. Yes, for a mere (nearly) $2,000 a year, you can obtain a "downtown Akron city permit" (quick reference: Downtown Cleveland Permits are around $365 a year, and food trucks pretty much have free range within reason.) BUT what isn't always fully disclosed there, is that that permit actually means to obtain one spot in a specific location that is painted, and is designated to you / your truck... and thats it. Thats all you receive, a painted spot in a really not exactly foot traffic friendly location tucked away from everything. Now... here's where things get a little more interesting in two parts. 1.) An argument currently used to rebuttal the pleas for a new food truck legislation is that obviously it is something that isn't in high demand, since said Akron Food Truck permits have not been purchased.. and comically enough part 2.) Those spots are not even available at this point and time anymore. They have been promised off for another (non food truck) reason. (And really... I'm not even going to bother with starting to list the crazy amount of rules and regulations, you're already reading a novel as it is...) So there you have it, as "briefly" and fact filled that I can put this. Basically, the Akron permit fees are insanely high, for a single painted spot difficult to pull people to, which also actually isn't even available for said food truck permits. And no, we can't make this up - this is legit. NOW with ALL this being said, our point is not to make you angry or to revolt against the city with hungry fists of fury, but to further explain and educate about what we are currently up against and fighting for such changes.
You see the sides of our truck right.... ? "MADE WITH PRIDE IN AKRON OHIO" our pride in our city, and what we do is literally plastered onto the sides of Betty. To further prove this point, Akron is in our name. Scullery essentially means "small kitchen" - and Square meaning Highland Square of course. (our neighborhood, and where our hearts thrive.) Our name in full translates to "Highland Square's Small Kitchen (on wheels)" - that is about as genuinely "Akroncentic" as you can get. Akron is part of our brand, who we are, and where our hearts are. We are a part of Akron, like Akron is a part of us. I can't tell you how many people (of all sides) have told us pursuing Akron (and almost exclusively) would ultimately make us fail... "it's not worth it...", "things will never change...", "you should be up in Cleveland.", "Maybe you should open a restaurant instead..", "You'll never thrive in Akron." the list goes on... and on.... and on. The sacrifices that we alone have made to continue pushing through the barriers are pretty extreme. There's no doubt that we would absolutely thrive in Cleveland, we both know that we would. But thats not the point - or the route for us, we've made that pretty clear since day one. Those of us who know us well enough, know all too well that we have never EVER chosen the easy route. (I say this slightly comically... but its true... we're completely nuts.) When we tell you that we've put it all on the line to chase our dreams, we really have, and doesn't just end with "get a food truck on the road." Thats a very small portion of what we're all about, and our mission.
Last year we made a promise to our city, and our people that we would fight for changes, we didn't take those promises lightly. Last week, last Monday to be exact, we had an extremely positive meeting at the City of Akron Mayor's Office with two pretty incredible city officials (that I will leave unnamed for the time being.) Not only were our voices heard, understood, and processed, but we left that meeting a couple steps closer to making those promises. The road ahead of us is still lengthy, this certainly isn't just a wham bam thank you ma'am type of situation, but it is one that I know has a positive future. It's worth the fight and pull to get to that point. Things are starting to change, and will continue to do so - its pretty incredible to be a part of to say the least. We are taking this on predominately lone wolf style currently, but also have the undying support of some of our most favorite Akron people. Seriously, the love and support we have both collectively received makes me all sappy and mushy. You all are so amazing. To get to where we are standing at now is a huge accomplishment for us personally, and professionally, but we certainly couldn't be here without our people. We are Akron, this is us... this is where we belong, and where we will continue to stay. We are proudly an Akron Food Truck, even if it may not be the most "popular route" it's the route we are pursuing. So thats it, thats the majority of our secretive big news that we've been keeping under wraps. There of course is plenty of news to come... but we gotta keep you guys hanging around somehow. ;) BUT step by step, brick by brick...the start of 2017 is indeed turning out to be pretty damn awesome.

Grant agreement signed for the protection of Arctic bird populations
NEFCO, as fund manager for the Arctic Council Project Support Instrument (PSI), and the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), the biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council, have signed a grant agreement to improve the status of declining Arctic breeding migratory bird populations.
The Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI) identifies actions that will be undertaken over a four-year period between 2015-2019, protecting Arctic lifestyles and peoples through migratory bird conservation. The aim is to improve the conservation status and secure the long-term sustainability of declining Arctic migratory bird populations.
Arctic breeding birds use as many as eight different flyways to migrate from Arctic breeding grounds to overwintering or stopover sites. The PSI grant will be used to develop an implementation plan regarding the African-Eurasian Flyway and the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. The aim is to highlight on-the-ground actions for habitat protection, including pollution prevention. The project will promote the establishment of a network of protected areas at important breeding, overwintering and stopover sites.
Migratory birds are an important indicator of ecosystem health and seabirds in the Arctic can indicate the health of the oceans. Today, many bird populations, such as the Black- and Bar-tailed Godwit, Red Knot, Dunlin, Spoon-billed Sandpiper and Lesser White-fronted goose, are declining at an unprecedented rate. Declining populations are due to the destruction of coastal wetlands, habitat loss, marine bycatch, unsustainable harvesting, as well as to climate change in the Arctic region and at the overwintering and stopover sites.
As declining species cross international borders, the initiative also seeks to actively engage Arctic Council Observer states, especially focusing on cooperation with China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain and theUK. In addition, AMBI aims to work both with NGOs and IGOs to ensure collaboration along the flyways to maximize global conservation efforts for Arctic-breeding birds.
"Declining Arctic migratory bird populations is a challenging issue and given that these birds are shared by countries all over the globe, research and conservation action cannot be undertaken solely by Arctic countries. Since safeguarding bird conservation affects both Arctic and non-Arctic countries, it is important for us to combine forces for this crucial work," says Tom Barry, Executive Secretary at CAFF.
"We are very happy to be able to fund this important initiative through PSI and to broaden our Arctic project portfolio to include a project managed by CAFF," comments Henrik G. Forsström, Senior Adviser at NEFCO.
CAFF is the biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council and consists of national representatives assigned by each of the eight Arctic Council Member States, representatives of Indigenous Peoples' organisations and Arctic Council observer countries and organisations. CAFF's mandate is to address the conservation of Arctic biodiversity, and to communicate its findings to the governments and residents of the Arctic, helping to promote practices which ensure the sustainability of the Arctic's living resources.
The Arctic Council Project Support Instrument is a funding mechanism managed by NEFCO. The instrument is intended to finance environmental initiatives aimed at preventing and mitigating pollution of the Arctic Region. PSI funding is available to projects proposed by all of the Arctic Council's working groups, once they are approved by the Arctic Council. The current contributions to PSI funds in the form of deposits, pledges and indications stand at EUR 15.9 million. Since 2014, the PSI's governing body, the PSI Committee, has approved or expressed interest in 76 environmental Arctic Council project proposals.

Anna ParkOn Tilt
Anna Park (South Korea, 1996) presents at T293, for her first solo show in Europe, a new series of charcoal drawings that weaves in and out of representation to abstraction.
Anna Park – as she describes herself – is a natural people-watcher. In her childhood, by constantly moving from one city to another, she developed a voyeuristic approach to life that later became evident in her artistic practice. The careful observation of those contrasting experienced environments serves as an investigation of human and social behaviour, that the artist then translates into a personal level through her distinct style.
Park's creative process begins with the selection from her own stock imagery of a photograph, usually of a crowded place. The artist uses the sharp lines and cutting shapes of the crowd as guiding elements to set up the architecture of the composition. After visualizing the image in black and white, Park initiates a second, more instinctive approach. The creative power flows now spontaneously from the charcoal through the paper, filling the space with a seductive rhythm. The result is an ever striking composition, orchestrated with a refined use of light and shadow.
The exhibition title On Tilt suggests being on the edge of an emotional breakdown. The highly elaborated scenes depicted on the drawings are claustrophobic compositions built on an undefined number of elements. Images are freezed in their most impactful moments, and time seems to have stopped at its most dramatic instant. By creating these ephemeral frames of ecstasy, the artist offers an opportunity to slowly unveil the powerful imagery that lies underneath them, instigating an absorbing discovery experience.
Through her black and white powerful lines, we can find noteworthy references that derive from sources as diverse as Hollywood productions of the Twenties, passing through comics language and culminating into interesting Futuristic mentions. The deformities that characterizes Anna Park's works – though pervaded with distinct old-school references – are a reflection of our own time. Unpretentiously, her paintings end up being precise observations of the sense of ecstasy and anxiety the last generation has been dealing with in a crescendo stream, standing as an often disturbing but always impeccable insight of contemporaneity.
Anna Park sees narrative, figurative situations as if they'd been put in a blender. The bodies she draws in charcoal extend from edge to edge on a paper surface, twisting, bending, overlapping, the background becomes one with the foreground —hands, mouths, legs, hair. The way she uses the medium, soft and hard edges come together merging histories and traditions. Gestures utilized by the Mannerists and evident in the distorted, abstracted figures in paintings by Francis Bacon, communicate to an audience today years after the language was invented and continues to evolve. The content of her drawings, such as "This is America" (2020), could be undefined shapes strewn into a pile, a mosh pit seen from above, or a woman (many?) hands stretched, felt, grabbed, pulled or just hanging out with friends. Park's exhibition at T293, "On Tilt" could be described as a series of universes that are connected to time or particular moments, the absence of others, and a global quarantine. Her world, our world, is on tilt. Our experiences are in a blender, decomposed and reassembled in unfamiliar forms.
Park's work is a portrait of a strange time, masked, but also chaotically beautiful. The surface level environments resemble an abyss, but could also be the most delightful place we've ever been. Look at every tone, every shade of black and grey, every space defined by light— grisaille— and be open to read in between the lines. Whether subjectively portraying grief, chance, such as in "Coin Flip" (2020) or celebration, Park's drawings are a secure if warped mirror, reflecting the universal anxiety of the unknown.

This method was called from the web and either AllowNoOutstandingRequest or AllowUntrustedCertificate was specified in the Restrictions parameter.

A: After two days of research on the net, I finally find out how to get this script working. The only solution I found for IE 11, is to enable following option in the IE settings box.

Slum Village :: Villa Manifesto
Steve 'Flash' Juon July 27, 2010
LPReview
Who is Slum Village in 2010? It's not a question one asks lightly given two-thirds of the group as it was formed in the 1990's is no longer with us in the physical essence. J Dilla passed on in 2006 and Baatin left his body behind in 2009, leaving T3 the only true and living member of the original crew. Open and shut case – there's no group any more – T3 is just using the name since he's the last survivor but it's a solo release. Well, no. As other writershave noted on this website, the lineup of SV was fairly fluid well before two of the founders met an untimely demise. Elzhi was brought into the group in 2002 when Dilla left to pursue a solo career, while Baatin was an on-and-off member throughout the last decade due to mental health problems. While only one-third of the original lineup is still alive, Elzhi has enough tenure with SV to credibly release an album together under the name should they so choose – and they have.
That's not the whole story though. "Villa Manifesto" is not simply T3 and Elzhi working together to keep the Slum Village name and legacy alive, it's the seemingly impossible REUNION of the entire SV lineup. A look at the artwork inside this new CD reveals a five man crew that even includes Dilla's younger brother Illa J. The press release that accompanies this album refers to a fantastic foursome that doesn't include Dilla Jr. but there he is anyway, confirming the stories and interviews that named him as a group member dating back to 2008.
It's a slightly mind-blowing idea that past, present and even FUTURE Slum Village members could collaborate on one album; the precedent is there though as hip-hop has pulled off seemingly impossible resurrections before. Name the deceased rapper and the odds are you can also name at least one posthumous album – not just superstars like Biggie and 'Pac but rappers like Big L who were on the verge of being mega-large before being gunned down. As long as you laid down vocals on tape at some point before death, a producer can put it to a beat while an opportunistic record label can put in into stores. Now the trick here is that Dilla's passing has already been celebrated with an unyielding assortment of posthumous releases, putting nearly every beat or rhyme he crafted out to the masses already.
Nevertheless Dilla's spirit still works its way directly into the album in the form of instrumental backdrops for "Lock it Down" and "We'll Show You." Indirectly it's there regardless as Young RJ a/k/a RJ Rice has always fashioned his production for SV by following in Dilla's large Detroit boot print. Therefore it seems wholly natural and not like a clumsily glued together pastiche listening to tracks like "Scheming," when Dilla can be heard on the opening verse, only to be joined with Pos from De La Soul and Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest. Other producers could have botched this posthumous collaboration but RJ makes it sound like everybody met on a spiritual plane and there just happened to be a mic nearby. His tasteful production is the glue that holds "Villa Manifesto" together, from the snap and clap of "Earl Flinn," to the layered production of the crossover single "Faster" with Colin Munroe, to super collaborations like "The Reunion Pt. 2" featuring Little Brother. T3 owes him big time.
That's not to say other producers don't get a bite of this fruit – as Hi-Tek leaves his teeth on "The Set Up" and Mr. Porter contributes one of the best imitations of a Dilla beat possible on the silky smooth "Don't Fight the Feeling" featuring Dwele. The bottom line on "Villa Manifesto" should be that despite the overwhelming odds against it, this is not only an authentic Slum Village album it's actually one of the BEST albums in their entire catalogue. Perhaps that's because nobody producing what could arguably be the last chance to bring everybody together in one place at one time wanted to fuck it up. Perhaps that's because at only 13 tracks long there's not enough time for (no offense brothers) sometimes unimpressive performances of Baatin or T3 to drag the overall average down after an entire CD. Perhaps it's simply the right place and time to get that old SV feel back, the one that had the underground so hyped back when "Fantastic Vol. 1" was so heavily bootlegged in the 1990's. It only took 15 years for them to come full circle back to greatness, but here they'll go out on a high note.

Excursions to Saona Island are probably the most popular trips. Thousand of tourists from Punta Cana resorts come here every year to see the beautiful coast and the island. And why? Because they don't have the Caribbean sea on the east side, that's why! The Atlantic ocean is not as calm and as crystal clear as the waters around Bayahibe. So if you are in Bayahibe resorts, you have it right there, no need to go anywhere far.
There are many tour operators and excursion companies offering a day trip to Saona Island, you can choose the one that suits you the best. Some prefer speed boats, some prefer catamarans or some prefer sail boats.
Leaving in the morning from the village you will sail towards Saona Island, admiring the beautiful coast in Bayahibe area on the way. Either in the way there or back you will stop at interesting spots including El Peñon, Mangrove and of course the famous Piscina Natural. You will return to Bayahibe around 5 PM.
The Saona Island trip is also available as a private trip for groups of different sizes where you can plan the trip the way you want – contact us to arrange.


Home » Zoro's Connection to Wano!!
One Piece Volume 92 is releasing on 4th March. And with new Volume comes a new SBS where we get to know a lot of inside details.
In the SBS of Vol.92 Oda has hinted at Zoro's possible connection to Wano.
It was revealed in one of the answers Oda gave to one of the Questions.
Oda: Yes he is!! Back then, he was fixing the broken door to the bar in Foosha Village. He was introduced as Carpenter Minatomo-san, exclaiming "Who did this!?". And now, he somehow ended up in the New World in the closed bordered country of Wano!!
Isn't that weird!? That's right, they actually aren't the same person! They have the same last name because they're related by blood.
The fact of the matter is, a ship from Wano reached East Blue a few decades ago.
This part might be featured later in the main story so I won't mention any more than that.
It isn't going to be a major plot line, it will just be a minor story.
So that was Oda's answer to the Question.
Who is that person with whom we are so familiar with?? It's Zoro, he is 21 years old and we don't know his past.
Besides this we don't know anything about his past, his parents, or where is he actually from?
Oda himself has hinted towards it.
It's really going to be interesting if this ends up being true.
But the sentence Oda mentioned at the end 'It isn't going to be a major plot line, it will just be a minor story.' has made me a little bit uneasy.
I mean Oda is saying that it won't be a major plot in the story, so are we getting just tiny bits of flashbacks that's all?
We won't be getting a separate story like Sanji??
If it's so, then it would be disappointing.
Anyway what do you guys think about it.
There was another interesting question where a reader asked Oda to personify Zoro's swords.
D: Hello Oda-sensei!! It's my first time contributing to SBS!! Zoro is in possession of the three swords Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Shusui. If the power of these three took the form of people, what would they look like?
Besides this one another request in the SBS was to draw Nami's sketch at the age of 40 and 60.
Age 40: Hand over the money I tell you!!!
Age 60: Won't you buy my magic pot?

History Divided: Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte's Legacy in Three Buildings
More: Native American History
By: Colleen Truskey

The Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte Memorial Hospital, late 2000s.
Standing quietly on a hill in the northwest corner of Walthill, Nebraska, a small village on the Omaha Indian Reservation, is a 105-year-old hospital.
The hospital bears little resemblance to contemporary medical centers. Only one-and-a-half stories tall, the American Craftsman-style building holds two general wards, a maternity ward, an operating studio, and five private rooms, in addition to a kitchen, an office, and staff quarters.
When the hospital first opened in January 1913, however, it was a marvel: the first modern hospital on the Omaha Reservation, built without government support—financial or otherwise. Funding, supplies, and medical equipment came from public charities and private donors across the country. A benefit concert was held at Carnegie Hall to raise money for the new facility, and architect William Steele of Sioux City, Iowa, was brought in to draft its plans.
Remarkably, the entire campaign was the result of tireless crusading on the part of Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte—the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree, and the Walthill Hospital's greatest champion.
Raised on the Omaha Reservation, Dr. Picotte had dreamed of building a hospital for her people since her time as a medical student on the East Coast. Indeed, the reservation hospital is often described as the capstone of Dr. Picotte's life—a final, monumental triumph after decades of spotless charity and advocacy.
This, however, is only part of her story.
"The Omaha word for 'hospital' literally means 'a place where I go to die,'" says Dr. Margery Coffey, assistant co-director of the Omaha Tribal Historical Research Project (OTHRP), a nonprofit dedicated to researching Omaha culture, language, religion, and history. "The hospital was Dr. Picotte's dream, but it was never really used by the tribal people."

The Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte Memorial Hospital, added to the National Trust's 11 Most Endangered List in 2018, in Walthill, Nebraska, circa 1910.
Nevertheless, today the Walthill Hospital, also known as the Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte Memorial Hospital (added to the National Trust's 11 Most Endangered List in 2018), is a designated National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is, undoubtedly, the most prominent memorial to the woman popularly known as "Dr. Sue."
According to Jill Dolberg, the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer at Nebraska State Historical Society, "there are few places in Nebraska dedicated to the memory of a woman like her who, so early in history, had such an impact. Any woman, regardless of ethnicity, who traveled across the country so she could return to help her community is a woman worth remembering."
Ironically, Dr. Picotte herself never worked at the hospital she helped realize. She died only two years after it was completed at the age of 50, following decades of chronic illness and disability that rendered her too frail to practice medicine in the final years of her life.
Instead, the care the Omaha received from Dr. Picotte often occurred inside their own homes. Even when she was in poor health herself, Dr. Sue, sometimes accompanied by her two sons, would travel miles by horse and buggy to visit and care for the ailing, often cooking meals for her patients. Her busiest months were usually during the winter, frequently brutal in the Midwest, but even then Dr. Picotte made herself available.
The first true "hospital," in fact, was inside her sister Marguerite's garage, where the critically ill would receive more complex treatments, including surgery. Later, following her own home's construction across the street, Dr. Picotte's basement served as the second "hospital." For those she was unable to return to health, it also served as a morgue.
Both of these structures—Dr. Picotte's home and her sister's garage—still stand. The home was only recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the effort to include the garage in the 1988 nomination that resulted in the Walthill Hospital's listing on the NRHP failed. Its history remains largely unknown to this day.

For those most familiar with Dr. Picotte's life and legacy, the lack of recognition for these more humble structures is vexing, but not surprising. Ideally, OTHRP would like to see all three of these buildings be incorporated into a historic district, along with a hotel, jail, and several other properties in and around Walthill that date back to the turn of the 20th century. It is the hope of OTHRP that the development of a historic district would allow for a more comprehensive retelling of the period in Omaha and American history that shaped Dr. Picotte and her generation.
"Dr. Picotte was an educated and assimilated woman, who was able to do what she did at the height of the Victorian era in an intensely patriarchal society," says Richard Chilton, OTHRP's project facilitator. "We need to revisit the indigenous side of that history."
"During her time there were more highly educated Indians than white people in Walthill," says Dr. Dennis Hastings (Omaha), the founder and co-director of OTHRP, whose grandparents were well-acquainted with the LaFlesche family. "That generation produced a lot of educated and capable people, doing just as much good as Dr. Sue."
Indeed, Dr. Picotte, renowned for her intelligence and work ethic, was no anomaly. Her father, Iron Eyes (Joseph LaFlesche), was a prominent leader during a tumultuous period in American Indian history when many tribal peoples, the Omaha included, found themselves swept up in the ferocious politics and unrelenting upheaval associated with American expansion. Although he never learned to speak English, Joseph LaFlesche came to believe that assimilation and integration were the only ways to ensure the survival of the Omaha people. All of his children, encouraged to pursue advanced educations, went on to carve out noteworthy places for themselves in their rapidly changing world.
Preservation Reads: Learn More About Dr. Picotte
Joe Starita's 2016 book, "A Warrior of the People," tells the story of the Nebraska woman who became the first Native American to earn a medical degree. In 2019, it was announced as the first selection for "One Book for North Platte: Lincoln County Reads."
Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte.
Susette LaFlesche Tibbles, an author, artist, and activist who, alongside others, helped those injured at Wounded Knee shortly after the 1890 massacre, was interpreter for the Ponca Leader Standing Bear during the precedent-setting 1879 case Standing Bear v. Crook, which formally established that Native peoples are indeed "persons within the meaning of the law."
Rosalie LaFlesche Farley, the namesake of nearby Rosalie, Nebraska, partially managed the Omaha tribe's finances, sometimes for her family's benefit. Marguerite LaFlesche Diddock often gave speeches on behalf of an ailing Dr. Sue and later donated the land upon which the Walthill Hospital was built. Francis LaFlesche became the first indigenous ethnologist, writing extensively on his own life and people.
Susan's sons, Caryl and Pierre, both served in World War I. Caryl Picotte also served in the Philippines during World War II, where he was captured and spent 3 ½ years as a Japanese prisoner of war. Caryl's son, unable to join the American military, enlisted in the Canadian military during WWII.
Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte's home in Walthill, Nebraska, circa 1908.
Dr. Picotte, however, made a name for herself by pursuing medicine in an era when few women were able to pursue work in any professional capacity. In addition to her labor as a physician, Dr. Picotte tackled some of the biggest public health issues of the day, including tuberculosis, and promoted cleanliness and hygiene. In a letter to her sisters in the years following her return to the reservation, Dr. Picotte wrote, "I'm not accomplishing miracles, but I'm beginning to see some of the results of better hygiene and health habits. And we're losing fewer babies and fewer cases to infection."
Later in her life, Dr. Picotte expanded the scope of her work. She began to advocate for the Omaha in increasingly tense land disputes, frequently writing to the Bureau of Indian Affairs to complain of underhanded dealings and petition for Omaha interests. She also took a more meditative perspective on the Omaha themselves, according to Dr. Coffey: "She wrote letters where she talked about Omaha gardens, Omaha beliefs, probably picking up on her sister Suzette's work—trying to make the Omaha people appear human to those who thought they were monsters."
"There are few places in Nebraska dedicated to the memory of a woman like her who, so early in history, had such an impact. Any woman, regardless of ethnicity, who traveled across the country so she could return to help her community is a woman worth remembering."
Jill Dolberg
Dr. Picotte is not without controversy. Her missionary zeal alienated her from her people, and her ardent campaign for temperance, along with her disdain of time-honored Omaha medicinal practices, has complicated her legacy.
"She probably thought she was bringing 'truth' and curative powers to her people," says Dr. Coffey. "To a certain degree she was, but she was bringing the white experience of medicine, not the Indian experience of medicine. The Indians weren't without medicine. They had medicine, their own medicine, and it was very good, but they weren't prepared for the white man's disease."
The complex narrative of Dr. Picotte is reflected in the equally complex dealings surrounding the historic sites tied to her life and work in Walthill. The hospital where she never saw a patient stands as the most prominent monument to her legacy. Meanwhile, the significance of the nearby home and garage where ailing Omaha sought out the care of Dr. Sue for years is known to only a few.
Today, the Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte Memorial Hospital stands vacant, but thanks in part to its 2018 inclusion on the 11 Most list, the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs (NCIA) received a $100,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to embark on the hospital's restoration process.
While preserving the Memorial Hospital restores only a portion of Dr. Picotte's history, it marks the first step in a long-overdue process of adequately remembering all the places that reflect her legacy.

Hist Kicks off the Year with This House Would Get High
The Hist's drug-themed debate took place in the GMB on Wednesday night
Sinéad Harrington
The Hist's first debate of the year took place on Wednesday 21 September on the motion "This House Would Get High". As with typical GMB debates, the event featured both student and guest speakers.
The late start, which came about as the result of a guest failing to show, was soon forgotten as Record Secretary Meg Beare delivered an excellently funny set of minutes. This set the tone for the rest of the debate, which was full of anecdotes that have come about as a result of the consumption of mind-altering substances – most memorably the time that one speaker sneezed into a joint, thereby emptying it of its contents – as well as the all-important Phil-bashing that is to be expected from a Hist opening event.
Deputy Bríd Smith giver her chair speech
The event was not without serious argument and engagement though, with the issues of current drug regulations, the importance of life's "natural highs", and the ethical question of funding criminal gangs through drug consumption all appearing as key issues of contention throughout the evening.
Oscar Tuohy opened the debate for the proposition side with a well-received speech, in which he argued that life is hard, and that we should allow ourselves more enjoyment by altering our minds when the opportunity presents itself. However, as many of the opposition speakers later responded, this nice idea becomes a lot less clear cut when we acknowledges that in the consumption of these drugs, we become complicit in the criminal activities that they fund.
Oscar Tuohy addressing the chamber
By far the strongest argument for the proposition side was the failure of current drug regulations, with guest speaker Olaf Tyaransen most eloquently impressing on the house the importance of the issue, saying: "Most drugs aren't prohibited because they're dangerous, but they're very dangerous because they're illegal." He argued for the consumption of drugs in protest at these laws, though opposition speaker Rory O'Sullivan expressed his doubt that the best way to protest drug laws is to "get high and eat wafers".
Rory O'Sullivan opposing the motion
In short, it was an entertaining, enjoyable debate, with humour and intellect coming from both student and guest speakers. It was followed by a rave-themed reception in the conversation rooms, complete with alcohol-filled syringes and lines of sugar for snorting.
