On 27th March 2019, SENDATE, the CELTIC flagship project for secure networking of data centres in Europe, held its closing event. More than 100 high-level representatives from industry and public funding organisations participated at the event, which was held at Ericsson HQ, in the high tech city of Kista close to Stockholm.
The participants discussed SENDATE's achievements. The project created a secure, distributed data centre environment, which meets the requirements of industrial communication, autonomous driving, and more. SENDATE helps to limit cybercrime that causes very high costs for enterprises and the whole society. The project has initiated a new datacentre technology which has the potential to make European suppliers globally more competitive.
The event started with presentations by representatives of ministries and funding agencies from the countries financing SENDATE. After that industry leaders from the consortium presented the achievements of the five SENDATE subprojects. These presentations were complemented by demonstrations of technical results. The event concluded with a panel discussion on SENDATE outcomes and business impacts.
The Event was opened by Mr Magnus Frodigh, Head of Ericsson Research, and Ms Valérie Blavette, CELTIC Chairperson from Orange.
Ms Darja Isaksson, General Director at Vinnova, was the first speaker from the funding agencies. She stated that digital infrastructures may very well be one of the most important areas for human collaboration, as digital infrastructure is now a geopolitical matter and the threat of cyberwarfare is real. She said: "It is fantastic to see even competitors co-creating pre-commercial solutions together and to prove the value of interoperability. SENDATE is an example of not only top class research but also on collaboration that build trust between big and small industry and academia." This has been shown in a common field trial in Stockholm as a joint activity between the two SENDATE subprojects FICUS and SECURE-DCI.
Left: Mr Ole Hitzemann, Officer at BMBF being introduced by, Mr Tor Björn Minde Ericsson, the moderator of the day.
Mr Ole Hitzemann from BMBF stated that SENDATE made the internet more European and contributed to creating a digital world with its own requirements and standards for privacy and data protection. He said: "We can only achieve this goal of digital sovereignty if we do this together." According to Mr Hitzemann, it gives Europe the chance to become a pioneer in privacy and data protection. Furthermore, it offers the opportunity for European ICT providers to create innovations that are data protection friendly and generates a competitive advantage compared to the American and Asian providers. Europe can never be digitally sovereign without its infrastructure. SENDATE has developed ideas and solutions for the Internet and makes Europe more independent from the rest of the world. Innovations in privacy and data protection will strengthen Europe's competitiveness and create new markets.
Ms Outi Keski-Äijö, Head of AI Business at Business Finland, looked into the future, where 5G, IoT and AI will form a new digital critical infrastructure that is essential for the operations of a modern society and businesses. In this world, security will be the biggest challenge. She proposed that AI should be part of the solution that will make digital networks more secure. This will be achieved by recognizing anomalies in digital networks to better protect privacy.
The event continued with presentations by high-level representatives of the SENDATE project partners, including Nokia, Ericsson, Coriant, ADVA, and Thales. These presentations focused on the five subprojects and the four transversal focus themes.
Ms Julie Byrne, Head of External Programs at Nokia Bell Labs, showed that SENDATE PLANETS achieved the first security architecture that supports different data centres. The project realized 26 demonstrators, 12 new products and an open ecosystem based on standardized APIs and open source software. She also explained that SENDATE TANDEM has made data centres more secure with a new integrity monitoring for data centre network elements. It also has realized a new dynamic network interconnection for future data centre network elements.
Mr Tor Björn Minde from Ericsson showed the latest developments in bringing another level of intelligence into the network which enables to predict its failure before it actually happens. In the future this data-driven modelling in dynamic environments technology will help to avoid failures that are very costly for network operators and the whole society. He said that the project was the ignition of a new data-centre technology that brings European suppliers back into the competitive data centre business.
Bernd Sommerkorn-Krombholz from Coriant explained how SENDATE FICUS strived for innovative solutions at the technological edge and how the industry-first multi-vendor SDN field trial was carried out with equipment from ADVA, Coriant, Highstreets Technologies and VPIphotonics. These were integrated in the Telia network in Sweden and the field trial allowed testing the new autonomous intelligent functionality of the optical network elements.
Mr Jörg-Peter Elbers, Vice-President Advanced Technology from ADVA explained the recent developments in a new type of secure data centre interconnect. Among other ground-breaking developments he mentioned the pioneering field trial where ADVA achieved the world-first quantum-safe transport over a 2,800 km fibre network. In another trial Fraunhofer realized a 400 Gb/s super-channel for the connection of data centres with a single diode.
Emmanuel Dotaro (Technical Director, Thales) explained how the work between the subprojects was carried out and explained the main results that were achieved. In a white paper the partners agreed on a high-level security architecture that was shared and agreed among the project partners. This was introduced into the 5G Security Working Group of the 5G Infrastructure Association. He also mentioned the sustainability of the research work and the impact performed through CELTIC.
During the break different demos were shown that generated a high level of interest and lively discussions.
Telia has a big scope in the optical business and SENDATE has helped to establish confidence in new technologies that were still far away only one year ago.
VTT is very active in cybersecurity and could establish new cooperation's with European SMEs that were quite unknown before the SENDATE project.
Airbus implemented the security in critical radio communication systems allowing now fully networked airport services. An aircraft can be considered as a data platform transmitting the relevant data to the different service providers. This allows to increase efficiency.
Orange has used machine learning to allow fibre intrusion detection before fibre actually breaks – example: digging incident during civil works. It is very important for the customers that the traffic can be redirected before the failure actually happens. Orange also worked on automatic reconfiguration of the optical connectivity for the interconnection of data centres.
SENDATE has enabled the consulting firm ArctosLabs, an SME, to offer network optimisation solutions on how to distribute micro services in the cloud by modelling data-centre cost versus transportations costs.
New data centres are installed in the northern part of Sweden. ABB has realised modelling of the cooling of data centres, where an efficiency increase of 10% was achieved.
Thanks to SENDATE the people working in the field of data centres in her company RISE have been increased from 3 to 23 Persons.
Panellists at the SENDATE event (from left): Mr Mauro Costa, Head of planning, strategy & architecture at Telia, Sweden; Mr Pertti Raatikainen, Research Manager – Connectivity at VTT, Finland; Mr Hugues Favin Lévêque, Airbus Connectivity Roadmap Owner at Airbus France; Ms Valerie Blavette, Open Innovation Manager at Orange France; Mr Alf Isaksson, Group Research Manager – Control from ABB Sweden; Mr Mats Eriksson, CEO at ArctosLabs Sweden and Ms Jeanette Nilsson, Industry Relations Manager from RISE, Sweden.
All the speakers who made the SENDATE Closing Event a success.

Irina Bokova Promotes the Arts for Sustainable Cities
DG_Beijing_22Oct_800px_0.jpg
On 22 October, Irina Bokova opened the Beijing Forum on 'Arts – Shaping the Future of the City,' with Honourable Mr Yang Xiao Chao, Vice Mayor of the Beijing Municipal Government and Excellency Mr Hao Ping, Vice Minister for Education of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the National Commission of People's Republic of China for UNESCO.
Held in the Dadu Museum of Art, China's newest private art museum, the Beijing Forum brought together municipal authorities, experts and artists from across the world, to explore the role of the arts as a driver for urban sustainability.
"This requires well-planned, well-designed cities, drawing on sustainable ecosystems," said the Director-General. "We need – as importantly -- cities that safeguard cultural heritage and the diversity of cultural expressions, that support creative industries."
"This is the importance of the arts," continued Irina Bokova. "The arts reflect identities and provide energy to renew them – they are sources of strength and wellsprings of innovation, for individuals and wider communities."
Irina Bokova said that this is essential at a time when all societies are seeking new sources of sustainability and Member States shape a new global development agenda to follow 2015.
In this framework, Director-General signed a strategic partnership agreement with Mr Dong Donghua, Chairman of the Board of the Changqing Investment Group. The Agreement represents 2 million USD and will run until 2017.
The objective of the partnership is to promote culture and development through initiatives and activities, including the Beijing Forum for the Arts and City, to strengthen the role of culture as a driver of sustainable development, mutual understanding and respect.
"I am convinced the private sector has an important role to play in fostering new models of cooperation to support the arts," declared the Director-General. "This is why I am pleased to sign this agreement and look forward to taking this partnership forward."
The Changqing Investment Group Ltd. is a leading Chinese financial, real estate and culture private sector company, supporting major cultural initiatives including artistic performances, media publishing, painting and calligraphy collections as well as exhibitions.

← The World's Most Liveable City: Melbourne, I am coming
This weekend: Prestigious Economics Conference Forthcoming in Umag/Croatia →
Quo vadis? NBER, CEPR, IZA, GLO, ….
Among the large number of scientific organizations, societies, academies of sciences, institutes and think-tanks, in economics some prominent networks are the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) and the Global Labor Organization (GLO).
Why do we need various scientific international organizations?
One simple answer is because the world has become more and more anti-global and increasingly favors evidence-free policy making, which needs a counter-balance. The other is that research and its transfer to society is not a zero-sum game, but a public good that in its core is non-rival. And the pragmatic one is that scientists are independent individuals, they do what they want to engage for anyway.
Facing reality, exchanging, meeting, debating, understanding, sharing, competing, collaborating is what applied science is all about. Yes, we increasingly understand the value of identities, but also that there are always mutual identities in real life fitting together.
This is the spirit upon which the Global Labor Organization (GLO) was created in March 2017 with its website glabor.org. The GLO network currently consists of over 700 individuals and 30 organizations covering 91 countries.
Perhaps it is not surprising that the heads of the two most influential economic networks in economics, Jim Poterba (NBER) and Richard Baldwin (CEPR), early on both welcomed the new initiative. And that Richard Baldwin, President of CEPR, wrote as an endorsement for the GLO:
"Slow growth and rapid economic transformation have pressured labor markets across to world. No two nations have identical problems but many nations share common ills including high youth unemployment, income inequality, skills mismatches, premature retirement and excessively large differences in conditions between temporary and permanent contracts. At the same time, the emergence of big data sets and the microeconometrics to use them has started to produce detailed policy-relevant analysis.
The Global Labor Organization aims to support researchers help each other produce better and more relevant work. This strikes me as a great idea and a much needed initiative."
When I was asked to join the CEPR as a Research Fellow in 1990, a concern was what my university would think about sharing my output with a foreign organization. "All sides will win", was my conclusion at the time, which I think strongly materialized.
I stepped down as a Program Director of CEPR for Labor Economics in 2002 after a decade of service. Already 1998 I created the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) as the Founding Director, operating in key positions in the two networks for a few years. I happily remained a CEPR Research Fellow, thereafter, supporting the CEPR network over the years as I do now.
And also Daniel S. Hamermesh, Network Coordinator of the IZA, frequently writes:
"I see that you are listed as a leader of Klaus Zimmermann's new online, putative network, GLABOR. At IZA we have no problem with someone being a Fellow of that group and the IZA."
Hence, there are no conflicts of being a member in various networks.

There are products used in every building not referenced by the codes or standards.
These products can impact safety, public health and general welfare through their effect on structural strength, stability, fire resistance and other building performance attributes. I-code Section 104.11 (Alternative materials, design, and methods of construction and equipment) provides guidance on how these products are approved for use in the built environment and identifies the Building Official as the decision-maker. This is similar to a referee determining a player's compliance with the rules.
Building Officials see submittals for a wide variety of alternative building products ranging from the simple to the very complex. The amount of data included in these submittals and their relevance and completeness varies significantly from insufficient and minimal to complete and very thorough. In the absence of publicly developed and majority-approved provisions, the Building Official is tasked to ensure the data provided is appropriate and adequately proves the alternative product meets code intent to protect public safety, no matter the product type or complexity. This is compared to the robust code and standards process in which committees with balanced representation publicly develop and deliberate on provisions in order to protect public safety. The question arises whether the 104.11 requirement implies that a similar robust process be used in the development of test and evaluation requirements for alternative products as is used for the development of code and standard provisions where there is public debate, resolution of negative opinions and a majority approval of the requirements. Requiring a similar code development process for alternative products would seems to make sense. Otherwise, a less rigorous process might be employed by those seeking to avoid a more robust code and standard process so as to achieve quicker and less stringent approval for their alternative products.
Some may argue that having to use a "code-like" evaluation process for alternative products would add too much of a burden in time and cost, and that it's not necessary since individual registered design professionals and building officials have enough time, resources and expertise to determine acceptability. But this begs the question of why a similar public majority-approval process should not be required for new products as it is required for code-referenced products. Another question that comes up is ongoing acceptance of an alternative product, as their manufacture may have changed since their approval. Additionally, different jurisdictions have different expertise and resources and this can lead to different standards for approval for alternative products, leading to inconsistency.
Is there a solution which balances providing innovative and cost-effective alternative building product solutions to the industry in a timely manner with providing a thorough product assessment using a process similar to the codes and standards to better ensure consistency and public safety? Accredited building product certification companies, or evaluation service companies, that use a publicly developed and majority-approved acceptance or evaluation criteria and publish an evaluation report with the product's description, design and installation requirements and limitations provide such a solution. These evaluation service companies are a third-party resource for building officials to assist in their determination of whether an alternative product meets code intent and should be approved for use in their jurisdiction.
The number of evaluation service companies has been increasing. The ICC Evaluation Service and the IAPMO Uniform Evaluation Service, two of the better-known such companies, are both ANSI accredited to ISO/IEC 17065 (Conformity Assessment – Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services) to provide building-code product certifications (ICC-ES, IAPMO UES). However, accreditation by itself mainly verifies a certain process is implemented to ensure consistency and confidentiality. Both companies also have a public acceptance or evaluation criteria process. This process includes an evaluation committee made up of building enforcement officials. These officials evaluate the proposed criteria, listen to expert and industry input and only approve the criteria by a majority vote if products evaluated to those criteria will meet code intent. This is similar to how the codes and standards are developed — a transparent public process and a majority approval of requirements and not just an opinion of one or a couple of individuals.
The alternative building product review process for ICC-ES and IAPMO UES is similar and has the following important components.
CRITERIA: The accredited product evaluation service develops an acceptance or evaluation criteria, with the manufacturer's and public's input, that is publicly debated, revised and ultimately approved by a majority vote of a committee of building enforcement officials.
TESTING: The manufacturer contracts out to an accredited independent third-party test laboratory to either perform or witness the product testing in accordance with the criteria.
REVIEW: Registered design professionals with the accredited product evaluation service evaluate the testing and analyses performed and sealed by registered design professionals with the manufacturers or their representatives. The product evaluation service then publishes the evaluation report to their website, and the report typically contains the product description, design and installation requirements and limitations.
inspection agency to ensure that the product currently being manufactured is the same as that which was evaluated.
While the term "product evaluation" is sometimes used, it is often "product certification" or "product conformity assessment." ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004 defines "conformity assessment" as "Any activity concerned with determining directly or indirectly that relevant requirements are fulfilled. Some "product certification" companies also provide "product listing" services for when testing and evaluation requirements for the product are already in code-referenced consensus standards, making the development of acceptance criteria unnecessary, thus simplifying the process.
A couple of previous blog posts on evaluation or code reports that you may find informative discuss steps to obtain an evaluation or code report and provide a checklist to determine adequacy of a report.
A mechanism is available to the building industry to provide innovative and cost-effective alternative building products in a timely manner that implements a public and majority product acceptance criteria process, similar to the codes and standards development process. This solution involves the Building Official referencing building product evaluation service reports, based on acceptance criteria, offering a robust evaluation better ensuring that an alternative product meets code intent, thus protecting the public. In fact, several jurisdictions do require evaluation service reports for alternative products.
Should there be an easier path to approval for alternative products than for code-referenced products? What is a reasonable path to product approval? What basis do you use in reviewing evaluation or code reports to determine whether an alternative product is "in or out of -bounds"? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Looking for a small present I came across these awesome peace handgranates. Friendly bombs filled with flower power!
The bombs are made of biodegradable materials and flower seeds. Soak them in water and throw them over the hedge in your neighbours dull backyard or in public areas that are in urgent need for some guerilla gardening!
Kabloom is a small company designing eco-friendly products that bring people and nature together. Scottish owner and designer Darren has been a guerilla gardener for years.
I am in love with the concept ánd the design: this is the first war I actually like.
I would say: throw it and grow it!
Ok, I know: this is not a stylish blog photo and I can't even credit it, because I couldn't find out who took it (sorry).
Still I would like to show this to you. I saw this picture on Pinterest and I immediately pinned it to my board called 'Great Ideas'.
I find it actually a little sad that we need reminders like this, but I'm happy someone made the effort to wake us up at this stunning outlook on the mountains.
It must be because of Instagram (YES, you can follow me ;-) that I am intrigued by still life photography more and more. This morning I tried to analyze why some still life photo's fascinate me and others don't.
Queen of still lives, if you ask me, is Dietlind Wolf .
And this is another nice way to spice up the graphic top view 'trend' a little: adding tape, or illustration, or different backgrounds etc.
Simple life, daylight, no slick styling or lay out.
We know there must be more - a complete arrangement, a vase, a table - but this is all we get to see.
Like the flower picture above, this food styling doesn't look balanced at first sight, the items fall off the picture on the right. But therefore I love it so much.
ps. click on the pictures to link back to their sources.

From ninject download page, there are 2 version of ninject :

*

*.NET Framework

*.NET Framework  for non web applications

I have several questions :

*

*What are the differences between those two?

*If I want to develop desktop application, can I use the standard version or I must use the "for non web applications" version ?

*What are the consequences if I use the "for non web applications" version of ninject on web application project such as ASP.NET ?

A: None Web is for Client Profile applications. It has no InRequestScope

A former Police Minister has issued a stark warning to the Government – rebuild the police force to safe levels or see communities suffer.
Delyn MP David Hanson (Labour) says the 'best police officers in the world' have been let down by successive Governments who have continuously failed to invest in the force.
By doing so, the Government was shirking its responsibility to keep people safe, he wrote on Politicshome.com, adding that an increase in violent crime set against a drop in officer numbers was hardly surprising.
"Crime has risen while police numbers have declined," he said.
"The Government must invest in neighbourhood policing or public safety and communities will pay the price.
A cut of over 22,000 police officers and a loss of 40% of police community support officers has hit the force since 2010.
"Combine that with the record number of experienced officers leaving and we have entered a perfect storm of the UK Government's own making," Mr Hanson wrote.
""It is clear to all, especially the police themselves, that the cut in police numbers by the current Government, and the previous coalition Government, is simply unsustainable.
"Crime has risen, with violent offences and sexual offences seeing the sharpest rise.
"The thin blue line is already stretched and when you consider that of the 122,000 police officers currently employed there will only be a third on the frontline as the others will be either working in the back-office, on annual leave, or not at work that day due to the way their rota falls, the thinness of the blue line becomes ever starker.
"The Government contends that it is putting in new money; it is not," he added.
"It says it has put in £460m a year, including the police precept. In reality this is a shift from central Government to funding by local police and crime commissioners.
"The impact of this means that very often the areas with highest crime have to raise more money from local taxpayers to compensate for central government cuts.
"The UK Government is simply shirking its responsibility."
The Home Office's announcement that £970m has been found for police coffers next year will be examined closely by MPs he said.
"The pension gap may be met by this revised announcement. The devil is in the detail and there is still a massive requirement for additional frontline funding to support the recruitment of new police.
"This settlement will be studied hard before it ultimately is voted on in February," he added.

Last Season's Most Underrated Rookie
by Jeff Sullivan
I got to participate in the voting for last season's American League Rookie of the Year award. Like almost everyone else, I agonized over whether to go with Gary Sanchez or Michael Fulmer, before ultimately settling on the latter. Tyler Naquin rounded out my ballot. It was the most common ballot — there were a dozen, out of 30, that read like mine.
If I had a fourth-place slot, I would've found room for Christopher Devenski. As is, Devenski showed up on five ballots, finishing third on four and second on one. There were many rookies last year who were pretty good. Devenski, somehow, has seemingly flown under the radar. He was so good!
If I wanted, I could leave it at this — there were 142 different pitchers in all of baseball who threw at least 100 innings. Here are the best of them, by ERA-:
Clayton Kershaw, 43
Kyle Hendricks, 51
Chris Devenski, 52
But you could look at the fact that Devenski allowed just four homers and conclude he got lucky. He probably did. Doesn't mean he didn't get better and better. It's Devenski's second half that really stands out. After the All-Star break, he threw 49.2 innings. Here are some percentile rankings out of everyone who cleared 25 post-ASB frames.
Down the stretch, Devenski threw strikes like Max Scherzer, and he missed bats like…well, also Max Scherzer. He compelled hitters to constantly chase out of the zone, in part a testament to his outstanding changeup. But you shouldn't come away believing Devenski was some kind of soft-tosser; by September he was throwing his average fastball around 94 miles per hour.
Devenski was underrated because he wasn't really a starting pitcher. He did start a few times, but he predominantly relieved, without closing. As you know, statistically speaking, relievers have it easier. Yet Devenski wasn't a reliever of the conventional sort. The last bar in the plot above reads PA/GR. That's out of a different sample pool — all relievers with at least 10 appearances in the second half. The category itself refers to average plate appearances per relief appearance. Devenski was close to the top. He wasn't a matchup guy, or a one-inning guy. He was more of a multi-inning swingman, which makes his numbers all the more remarkable. He was that good, for dozens of pitches at a time.
Borrowing from Texas Leaguers, Devenski made a midseason change that could've driven his greater success.
As the season wore on, Devenski all but abandoned his curveball, replacing it with a sharper slider. He showed excellent command of the pitch, and opponents missed it nearly half of the time they swung. Here's Devenski using the slider to get back in the count:
The slider gave Devenski a consistent third pitch. In the second half, he threw it 22% of the time. He threw his fastball 40% of the time. And he threw his changeup — this changeup — 32% of the time.
Lefties would see all three pitches. Righties would see all three pitches. And Devenski's over-the-top delivery presumably added some measure of deception. His fastball comes with a good amount of rise, and the changeup plays off of it perfectly. The slider is why the Astros are still thinking about Devenski as potentially becoming a starter. He might work well for five or six innings at a time. It's already clear he can work well for two or three.
Devenski is going to be a key part of the Astros' enviable pitching depth, no matter his role. Whether he's rotation insurance or a steady presence in the bullpen, he'll provide something every manager wants. As he showed over last season's final three months, he can pitch as well as almost anyone else, and this from someone who was a completely unheralded prospect. A 25th-round draft pick who was included as a PTBNL for Brett Myers. You can give the White Sox some credit for identifying and developing Jose Quintana. In a similar but opposite way, I guess Devenski was an oversight.

Here's Where the Projections Disagree
Jeff made Lookout Landing a thing, but he does not still write there about the Mariners. He does write here, sometimes about the Mariners, but usually not.

I was blown away when I first heard of him in the Kershaw article the other day. Can't believe I had never even seen his name.

Update 1: The deactivated page is back. According to an email received by the page admin, "After reviewing your situation, we have reinstated the page, and you should now be able to see it online." a facebook representative said.
Screenshot of the deactivated Facebook page – from Google Cache.
The page administrator utilized the page to post updates on the flow of the case before the court and relevant information related to the incident that happened on the 6th of June 2010, as well as mobilizing people to join peaceful assemblies that took place against torture in Egypt and supporting victims of violence.
Facebook blocked the largest fan page defending human rights in Egypt. The ugly side of censorship!
It's worth to mention that in August 2009, a Kuwaiti newspaper published a story on a new security department to monitor Facebook in Egypt.
It's still not clear why the Facebook administration took this sudden step and whether there was any consultation that took place with the Egyptian company Connect Ads, the Facebook.com official representative for Middle East and North Africa.
The latest event on the page was inviting people to join the "Angry Friday" that will take place tomorrow, Friday 26 November, to support victims of torture and violence.

Self-sabotage is "any behavior, action, or thought-pattern that prevents you from getting what you want or being the person you want to be." Most of us self-sabotage at one time or another: we decline an opportunity because we don't feel we're worthy, we continue a bad habit, we stay at a crummy job, we hang on to people who aren't good for us. We let our self discipline go on hiatus. Sometimes we maintain or repeat these behaviors, creating a destructive cycle which jeopardizes any chance of future success.
Even when we do realize we are stuck in the cycle, we can be distracted away from simple things that will allow us to jump off the hamster wheel of self-sabotage. For example, if we are focused on beating ourselves up for the repetitive mistakes, it can be overwhelming to change them. Maybe we save face by justifying our behavior to ourselves and others, allowing the cycle to continue. Or we continue to make poor decisions because, subconsciously, we feel we don't deserve the results that would occur from making better ones. These compensating behaviors may seem like simple things to change, but they manifest in such complex ways that we're overpowered.
It's human nature to avoid negative circumstances, but if we perceive anything less than perfection as undesirable, we're in big trouble. Why, then, do so many of us aim for completely perfect circumstances before we'll take a risk? Hello? No one is perfect, but there is someone who could be perfect for you if you're still single. The timing for a new business venture will never be as perfect as right now. You or the next guy will never be perfectly prepared to make that sales cold call, but the person who does call the prospect has a better chance of making the sale.
Here's why Pete and I don't worry about money so much anymore: When you're worried about money, you don't do your best work. Business or personal, you can't focus on giving your best to building a relationship in which you'll be an ally or a trusted adviser if you're thinking about how much you're going to make out of the deal. If you just "have to make this sale," your buyer can smell that a mile away and you'll exit the meeting empty-handed. Whether you're a believer in the Law of Attraction or not, it pays to have faith that there will always be enough provided you are doing your best with your "right people." While "do what you love and the money will follow" may be too simplistic, we can tell you from personal experience that feeling desperate about money will compromise behavior and decisions.
Simple things that we've always understood to be truisms deserve a second look now. Are you really more secure in a corporate job? Is it always safer to keep your options open? Many times we tell ourselves that more research = more choices = more freedom when we're really avoiding commitment. Playing it safe is more often procrastinating against growth and progress in our book. Stop coming from a place of lack – feeling like you should protect what you have – and practice coming from a place of abundance – in which you realize there is always more available if needed, which will give you more confidence to proceed.
A lot of the messaging we've internalized is irrelevant. We've been conditioned to believe that we should get a certain amount of education, pursue certain types of careers, live in certain kinds of places, and behave in certain ways. If all this is so great, why are we so unhappy? Donna Freedman thinks other people's ideas are keeping us where we don't want to be.
I was quite focused spending my 20's trying to set my life up to live like I 'should' – to have things, own homes, find someone to settle down with, and be like everyone else. On top of this quest to acquire things and fit into the responsible adult lifestyle that I thought was necessary, I also realized that I never really had a travel mentor. No one in my extended family or friends traveled abroad, and essentially I had no one to ignite my dream. – Sherry Ott, Co-Founder – Meet, Plan, Go!
How many of us have been told that we should settle down? What does that mean, anyway? Stop being disruptive by comparison with an average or something? We should make a bunch of money so that we could buy a house, a couple of cars, send the kids to college and be set to retire, right? This work-spend cycle is a hamster wheel, too. How's that working out for you?
Too often we're finding that what may have worked in the past has no bearing on today's reality. Wishing things were different doesn't make them so. Yet, so many people self-sabotage because they act as though their idealized version of life is reality. If things really are so great, why is it that you don't want to wake up and go to work in the morning?
An honest assessment of conditions in Stockdale's POW experience would be far more than most people could withstand. Yet, it was imperative to muster the self discipline he describes in order to distinguish false hope from faith in oneself. Someone who is married to the wrong person may go on for years expecting their spouse to change, a form of self-sabotage that ensures their own happiness is on the back burner. Why should one spouse have so much power over the other's lack of fulfillment? Others tell themselves that "someday" they'll start their own business. If things are good enough to consider doing in the future, ask yourself what's wrong with now?
Any playwright will tell you Act I merely sets the stage. What do you really want to do? What does your ideal lifestyle look like? Consider yourself in Intermission. Think of simple things you can change right now to get where you'd like to be, and then incorporate an extended vision. Go for what Ramit Sethi describes as "Quick Wins" – the initial positive feedback that is so motivating. Then, he advises, focus on a Big Win: one of two or three things that would give you disproportionate rewards.
When we first thought about achieving location independence, we looked short and long term. Identifying the steps we had to take right now and where we wanted to be in several years kept our eye on the prize, but also allowed us to feel like we were regularly accomplishing. If you are having trouble translating your dreams into a concrete blueprint, consider hiring a coach to give you the necessary focus to write your Second Act.
This is an opportunity to make a transformation. You are the one who is responsible for your own life. Seek a new career, act on a dream you've deferred, experience the adventure you crave! Stop the self-sabotage cycle and make your break!
There is SO much a book in this…awesome post Betsy!! AWESOME!!

The film begins with a family spending a pleasant day on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California. The young daughter, Adelaide, separates from the family and finds herself in an abandoned hall of mirrors shack. She sees her doppelgänger. This terrifies her. She is in shock. The film shifts many years later. Adelaide is married to Gabe Wilson and has two kids. The Wilsons head to their lakeside vacation home near Santa Cruz. Adelaide is rather nervous about returning to the area that so traumatized her as a little girl. Gabe hopes to ease her anxiety by inviting another family, the Tylers, to join them. After some strange happenings on the beach, the Wilsons return to the cabin for what they are hoping will be a quiet, restful evening. However, the peace is broken by a group of intruders, doppelgängers of the Wilson family. The challenge now is to determine what all these terror-filled events really mean.

Why Stream This Film?
It's another Jordan Peele gem. But you'll also want to see the brilliant performance of Lupita Nyong'o. Hannah Giorgis, in her review in The Atlantic wrote, "That it has taken the actor, an acclaimed talent, this long to land so meaty a leading role is disappointing, but the quality of her performance is undeniable. Her rise has been a long time coming."
Rotten Tomatoes Score (Critics Consensus): 93%
MTV Movie & TV Awards: Nominated, Best Performance (Lupita Nyong'o)
Saturn Awards: Winner, Best Director (Jordan Peele); Nominated, Best Horror Film, Best Actress (Lupita Nyong'o)
Peele's film, which he directed, wrote and produced, will likely reward audiences on multiple viewings, each visit revealing a new secret, showing you something you missed before in a new light. US is another thrilling exploration of the past and oppression this country is still too afraid to bring up. Peele wants us to talk, and he's giving audiences the material to think, to feel our way through some of the darker sides of the human condition and the American experience.
Writer, director, and producer Jordan Peele offers a sharp, often funny meditation on the terrifying power of human connection. Bonds are broken, ties are severed. No relationship, even the most fundamental, is quite what it seems.
Hannah Giorgis
In US, Peele uses the metaphor of the divided self to explore what lies beneath contemporary America, its double consciousness, its identity, sins and terrors. The results are messy, brilliant, sobering, even bleak—the final scene is a gut punch delivered with a queasy smile—but Jordan Peele isn't here just to play.
Manohla Dargis
US is a work of directorial virtuosity, in which Peele invests every moment, every twist, every diabolically conceived and gleefully invoked detail with graphic, psychological resonance and controlled tone, in performance and gesture.

Social Selling: What Can the West Learn From China?
Having only recently jumped on the social selling bandwagon, what lessons can Western tech giants like Facebook and Google learn from their more established Chinese counterparts?
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the offline retail environment over the past few months, brands have gradually discovered the power of short videos, livestreaming and simple text-image messaging. In the absence of physical stores and access to products, these digital channels are proving to be effective in reaching and activating consumers, consequently boosting e-commerce performance – especially in China, where its digital natives are no stranger to such online behaviours. Now, Western tech giants are following in their footsteps.
Late last year, WhatsApp debuted a shopping catalogue feature. In May 2020, Facebook and Instagram launched Shops, a feature that allows users to purchase products directly within the Facebook or Instagram ecosystem. More recently, Google introduced its Shoploop platform that introduces users to products with short videos (within 90 seconds). Users can then click on in-video links to make a purchase via the product's official e-commerce page.
While the integration of e-commerce and social media could be seen as a radical move for Western platforms, such features have already been realised and widely rolled out in China. Short video platforms (Douyin, Kuaishou), instant messaging platforms (WeChat), social media (XiaoHongShu, Weibo) have leveraged their social reach to snap up a share of the e-commerce pie across different categories. What can Western companies looking to develop their social selling businesses learn from these Chinese platforms?
Fresh Content Concepts
Due to COVID-19, many brick-and-mortar stores have been faced with prolonged closures and even after reopening, low foot traffic. Consumers have been spending inordinate amounts of time online – much more than ever before – and are, for lack of a better expression, getting bored. Brands need to produce new and varied types of content to recapture the attention of these consumers.
A good example of an alternative content focus is that of XiaoHongShu (RED). While it started out as a platform primarily focused on travel and shopping reviews, RED eventually evolved to include a wide range of customer reviews (products or otherwise). As the number of product reviews on the platform grew, the social platform pivoted to e-commerce – users could shop products directly reviewed by other users. By focusing on user generated content instead of brand created content, product descriptions come across as more authentic and relatable. This helps to build consumer confidence and drive conversions.
Frictionless Purchase Journeys
With Instagram and Facebook Shop, shoppers are now able to directly buy items within Instagram instead of being redirected to an external page to complete the transaction. Just a few months ago, this was not the case for most social media platforms in the West trying to engage in selling. More often than not, social media platforms end up acting as conduits rather than actual selling channels due to technical limitations.
Credit: Instagram
That is not to say that social media outlets in China do not face the same issue. Platforms such as Douyin and Weibo are not unlike their Western counterparts. Without in-built e-commerce capabilities, these platforms are only able to link content to relevant product pages on e-commerce marketplaces like Tmall or JD.com.
The exception here is WeChat. Besides being China's most ubiquitous social platform, it is also a self-sustaining one with a myriad of in-built functions. The platform covers all touchpoints throughout the typical consumer journey: Awareness and Interest (Official Account, Channels), Purchase (WeChat Pay), and even Loyalty. Here, consumers are able to discover a product through a brand's communications on WeChat, directly shop the item via its WeChat store, and purchase it – all without leaving the app environment.
Consumer Retention and Reactivation
One thing that is universally lacking on Western social selling platforms today is CRM functionality. In China, this is something that brands largely build on WeChat. Besides setting up a loyalty programme for clients on WeChat, brands can also opt to attach a CRM and clienteling solution to their accounts to scale up operations. This added layer of infrastructure allows them to better manage and track client communications, and build richer client profiles with the transactional and behavioural data tracked on WeChat.
Fundamentally, this approach relies on the willingness of consumers to give up some degree of personal data. In exchange, they receive a far more customised experience on the platform. However, given the strict data and privacy laws that govern digital platforms in the West, this is an unlikely reality.
At the end of the day, what works in one society might not necessarily take off in another. However, understanding the capabilities and limitations of the different platforms will allow Western platforms to better adapt and evolve existing social selling models. And when that happens, everyone wins.

Even in the absence of excisional loss of the associated Mu transposons, some Mu-induced mutant alleles of maize can lose their capacity to condition a mutant phenotype. Three of five Mu-derived rf2a alleles are susceptible to such Mu suppression. The suppressible rf2a-m9437 allele has a novel Mu transposon insertion (Mu10) in its 5′ untranslated region (UTR). The suppressible rf2a-m9390 allele has a Mu1 insertion in its 5′ UTR. During suppression, alternative transcription initiation sites flanking the Mu1 transposon yield functional transcripts. The suppressible rf2a-m8110 allele has an rcy/Mu7 insertion in its 3′ UTR. Suppression of this allele occurs via a previously unreported mechanism; sequences in the terminal inverted repeats of rcy/Mu7 function as alternative polyadenylation sites such that the suppressed rf2a-m8110 allele yields functional rf2a transcripts. No significant differences were observed in the nucleotide compositions of these alternative polyadenylation sites as compared with 94 other polyadenylation sites from maize genes.

Australia's first Robotics Roadmap launched
18/06/2018 Posted by Brian Hartigan 2240 Views 0 Comments Robotics Roadmap
Share the post "Australia's first Robotics Roadmap launched"
Launched today at Parliament House, Australia's very first Robotics Roadmap is set to strengthen national defence through guiding and supporting the development of critical robotic technology to assist Australia's defence forces.

Leaders in academia, industry and government across the defence sector all helped shape the roadmap through submissions and workshops held in late 2017.
The world-leading Australian Centre for Robotic Vision pioneered the Robotics Roadmap concept, collated submissions and co-ordinated the vital national roadshow across five Australian capital cities ahead of producing the report.
"We are thrilled to officially present Australia's first Robotics Roadmap today in Canberra," the Centre's Chief Operating Officer Sue Keay said.
"The Robotics Roadmap is a critical tool in strategically planning how we as a nation best invest in robotic technology to create and support a vibrant economy, community and nation.
"Australia's defence sector is world class. With the growth of the national Defence budget to two percent of Australia's GDP by 2020-21, we are seeing more investment in the development of defence technology and there are significant opportunities in robotic technology."
Dr Keay said Australia's Robotics Roadmap highlights how robotic technology can strengthen intelligence and reconnaissance, and enhance targeting capacity through greater access to strengthened analytical capability, enhanced support and space-based capabilities.
"Investment in new technology will enhance Australia's ability to contribute to border protection with the introduction of more capable offshore patrol vessels, new manned and unmanned aircraft and a new large-hulled multi- purpose patrol vessel.
"These platforms have the potential to become robotic and autonomous, and to be augmented by off-platform robotic systems.
"Robotics can help strengthen and support Australia's highly valued human workforce in Defence enabling more precise and persistent, wide-area operations in air, land, sea, subsurface, space and cyber domains.
"With Australia currently ranked 18th in the world for global automation by the International Federation of Robotics, it's time we start understanding robots as everyday problem solvers rather than scientific fantasy.
"As a community, we need to build on Australia's strengths in developing new robotic technologies to help the Defence sector become more agile and responsive."
Australia's Chief Scientist Alan Finkel emphasised the importance of the roadmap to unlocking Australia's robotic potential.
"When I was a child, robots were the realm of science fiction alone," Dr Finkel said.
"Even through the decades that followed, simple automation and machines failed to fill the grand promises made by my favourite books.
"But in the past few years, that's all changed – robots and artificial intelligence are appearing in every industry sector, with huge practical impact on the way we live, work, and plan for the future.
"This roadmap shows just how quickly this field is moving, and the rewards available to a robot-ready Australia."
Australia's first Robotics Roadmap was pioneered by The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision with contributions from defence, industry, academia, research agencies and international partners.
About The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision
The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision is an ARC Centre of Excellence, funded for $25.6 million over seven years to form the largest collaborative group of its kind generating internationally impactful science and new technologies that will transform important Australian industries and provide solutions to some of the hard challenges facing Australia and the globe.
Formed in 2014, The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision is the world's first research centre specialising in robotic vision. They are a group of researchers on a mission to develop new robotic vision technologies to expand the capabilities of robots. Their work will give robots the ability to see and understand for the sustainable well-being of people and the environments we live in.
The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision has assembled an interdisciplinary research team from four leading Australian research universities: QUT, The University of Adelaide (UoA), The Australian National University (ANU), and Monash University as well as CSIRO's Data61and overseas universities and research organisations including INRIA Rennes Bretagne, Georgia Institute of Technology, Imperial College London, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, University of Toronto, and the University of Oxford.

Her visit came as momentum is building in Washington for a national privacy law that could sharply rein in the ability of the largest tech companies to collect and make money from people's personal data. A federal law, the first of its kind in the U.S., could allow people to see or prohibit the use of their data. Companies would need permission to release such information.
Jourova said questions came from senators and industry officials regarding the impact of the EU law on small and startup businesses, on citizens' ability to exercise their new privacy rights and on whether it will hinder innovation.
"Our answer to this is (the EU law) tries to be future-proof and cover the new situations in the world of technologies which consume citizens' data," she said. "We have the principle that the data can be used for research and business and artificial intelligence" after they are made anonymous.
The EU regulators stepped up scrutiny of Facebook's terms after the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal, in which data on 87 million Facebook users was allegedly improperly harvested. The regulators also want tech companies to bring their terms in line with European consumer law.
"This can only be done by checking whether they are investigating the complaints of the people, following the cases, and this is the job of the data-protection authorities in the EU," she said.

Stop Making Nonsense
Rachel Getting Married (2008)
By MARTIN TSAI
Bob Vergara/Sony Pictures Classics
Dear Jonathan Demme,
You made one heck of a thriller, "The Silence of the Lambs," back in 1991 and inspired a slew of hyper-stylized detective thrillers such as "Seven." But whatever cache or goodwill you earned with critics and moviegoers you've surely squandered away in the ensuing 17 years. It's understandable that the mechanisms of the genre probably bore you to death. But if "The Manchurian Candidate" remake is any indication, thrillers are seemingly the only kind of films you excel at. Unfortunately, you've allowed your bleeding liberal heart to get the best of you.
The phrase "a Jonathan Demme picture" used to evoke the visage of Anthony Hopkins having a couple of prison guards for dinner, but now it stands for something far more nauseating and much less arresting. We get it. Really, we do. You have compassion for gays and blacks. Especially blacks. You were willing to overlook reputed homophobe Denzel Washington talking Will Smith out of lip-locking a dude in "Six Degrees of Separation" to cast him in your gay/AIDS/Maria Callas opus, "Philadelphia." Then you went all Steven Spielberg on us with "Beloved," presumably drunk on the Oprah-fed Toni Morrison Kool-Aid. Then you made "The Truth about Charlie," the whole point of which was to make a case for Thandie Newton to be this generation's Audrey Hepburn.
Which brings us to your latest, "Rachel Getting Married." It's mind-boggling that Jenny Lumet's sorry cliché-ridden excuse for a screenplay actually caught your fancy in the first place, unless you saw it as yet another opportunity to live out your fantasy of a utopian colorblind world. In fact, your treatment of a mixed-race couple and its large, interracial extended family is the only thing remotely noteworthy about this film, the obnoxiously petulant Anne Hathaway character notwithstanding.
You've depicted the holy union between Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) and Sidney (Tunde Adebimpe) so matter-of-factly that they are as boring and nondescript as any monoracial couple, save for the fact that they wear Indian saris to the wedding, and the evening's entertainment includes jazz and slam poetry. Indeed, the conflicts in the film arise not from race, but from Rachel's attention-starved, they-tried-to-make-me-go-to-rehab-but-I-said-no-no-no sister Kym (Ms. Hathaway). Aside from this lovely façade of racial harmony, your picture is really just another trite chick flick about sisterhood. Mr. Demme, perhaps you were prescient, and maybe we are seeing the first glimpses of a world where race isn't an issue. After all, the country has elected its first "mutt" president, so hopefully you can from now on turn your attention to finding material better suited for your talent.

A Global Jewish Service Corps Fellow re:entwines
By Lauren Gross, former Global Jewish Service Corps Fellow at the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda
I chose to spend a year as a JDC Entwine Global Jewish Service Corps Fellow in Rwanda because I knew it would transform the way I think and behave – as a life-long traveler, a female, a millennial, a friend and family member, and as a Jewish person. And it did that, and more.

They say that if you give a person a fish, she'll eat for a day. But if you teach her how to fish, she'll eat for a lifetime. But the creator of this idiom overlooked a critical question: how do you get someone to want to fish?

Over the past 10 years, there has been huge growth in the number of travel programs for Jewish young adults, focusing on everything from culture and tradition to tourism. Out of a personal desire to seek new challenges, I discovered The Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), and their young adult initiative, JDC Entwine who works to connect young Jews to the global Jewish community and foster a sense of global responsibility through their programs.
Finding The Unexpected in Rwanda
By Bobby Gross, Inside Rwanda alum
I wasn't sure what to expect from my trip to Rwanda. It was difficult to see past the long list of shots I needed to get, and the upcoming 24 hours of travel to get to the country. I looked forward to seeing my sister, Lauren, who has been serving as a Global Jewish Service Corps Fellow with Agahozo Shalom Youth Village (ASYV), but wasn't sure what to expect.


It should be noted that current target user communities for the wordpress sight (nycga.cc) that are coming out look manageable based on current planning, but these scaling discussion items should be considered as any further large scale wordpress solutions are planned.
We can start with a single site (EC2 backend or whatever for HW) and if its needs grow we can increase processing/capacity.
Mirroring will work well if the communication is from the admin side outward. If you are using WP to collect audience input, such as comments, you start needing to jump through hoops to synch back to a master database. This usually involves some form of clustering. Clustering leads to its own unexpected issues, such as modules for RSS feeds overwriting post IDs.
Net: if you are rolling with mirroring and you want engagement features like commenting, offload those features to an external service. a profile-based system link Disqus is pretty antithetical to the goals of the movement - is there an open-source solution for anonymous commenting that someone could recommend?
I am reaching out to the list to help identify administrators familiar with running a multi-site wordpress configuration. The goal will be to run this wordpress configuration across mirrored locations.
If you are experienced with the migration/setup/mirroring of wordpress infrastructure and you are NOT currently working on the NYCGA.CC site update. Please announce to the list your availability, skillset/background and we will contact you ASAP.
MySql Administration is also a needed skillset, DB admins please check in as well.
Thanks everyone for your ongoing hard work across all online operations teams!

In the Nineteen Nineties, the fifty-four million contributors of India's tribal colonies accounted for seven percentage of the country's overall population—yet little or no approximately them was once recorded. Norman Lewis depicts India's jungles as being endangered via "progress," and his feel of urgency in recording what he can concerning the country's particular tribes ends up in a compelling and fascinating narrative. From the poetic Muria humans whose vitamin comprises monkeys, purple ants, and crocodiles, to the tranquil mountain tribes who should be relating to the Australian Aborigines, to the bare Mundas those who may perhaps shoot, with bow and arrow, someone who laughs of their course, Lewis chronicles the original features of the numerous tribes that locate their lifestyle more and more threatened by way of the encroachment of modernity.

Drawing on his greater than forty years of in-depth examine of Indian Philosophy below the tutelage of his guru, Nitya Chaitanya Yati, writer Scott Teitsworth explores the medical method of self-transformation and religious enlightenment encoded in Krishna's recommendation to Arjuna within the Bhagavad Gita. supplying a verse-by-verse exam of the 1st chapters, he finds the Gita's classes to organize the seeker to satisfy and effectively paintings with a guru--whether an outdoor instructor or the intuitive wisdom that arises from overcoming the psyche's realized boundaries.
The writer exhibits that the Gita doesn't recommend blind devotion to a guru or god yet really own improvement, victory over your fears, and liberation of the psyche. He demonstrates how Krishna's suggestion offers instruments to steer us out of our fear-based stories to reconnect with the suppressed elements of our internal being. He explains how Arjuna's doubts and confusions symbolize the plight of each person--we are born loose yet progressively turn into slowed down through the calls for of our society, constantly depending on outdoor authority for solutions and disconnected from our real internal nature. He unearths how Krishna's recommendation deals assistance for facing life's conflicts, which societal barriers to reject, and the way to work out throughout the polarizing thought of fine as opposed to evil to shape a balanced mind set more advantageous to either.
Restoring the fearless imaginative and prescient of the traditional rishis, who, like today's scientists, prized skepticism as a tremendous process for having access to fact, Teitsworth finds the Gita as a consultant to an actual guru-disciple dating in addition to to developing a lifetime of value, freedom, and real sovereign maturity.

Tundra Swan ( Cygne siffleur )
Cygnus columbianus
Description: Tundra Swan adult
Maybrook Road, Casey Township
The Tundra Swan used to be known as the Whistling Swan in North America. In 1983 it was merged with the Eurasian swan formerly known as Bewick's Swan. Both are now considered to be subspecies of the Tundra Swan. Both nest on the arctic and sub-arctic tundra. During the breeding season the Tundra Swan sleeps almost entirely on land, but in the winter it sleeps more often on water. It is the most abundant of two native and one non-native species of swan in North America.
Although Trumpeter Swans are slightly larger than Tundra Swans, it is very difficult to tell the two species apart. At close range, a small yellow mark at the base of the bill can be seen on the Tundra Swan, but not on the Trumpeter Swan. Unlike the Mute Swan which normally bends its neck in a graceful curve, the Tundra Swan usually holds its neck straight up. The voice of the Tundra Swan is soft and melodious. The former name "whistling swan" referred to the sound made by the slow, powerful beating of the wings in flight, and not to the bird's vocalizations. The call is lower pitched than a whistle, often described as sounding like a blowing or tearing sound.
Since being afforded complete protection from hunting by the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty, populations of North America's Tundra Swan have increased to the point where a limited hunt by permit was begun on the western wintering population in 1962 and on the eastern wintering population in 1984.
The Tundra Swan breeds from Hudson's Bay west to Alaska and winters in the Chesapeake Bay marshes of the United States. The Tundra Swan typically stays in flocks except when on a breeding territory. After a brief respite on the lower Great Lakes in southern Ontario, they generally complete the rest of their spring migration to their arctic breeding grounds without stopping, unless impeded by inclement weather. They are often detected when passing over Timiskaming flying high overhead on bright, clear nights in the first half of May.
The principal factor limiting Tundra Swan populations is the adverse weather the swans often face on all parts of their range, but particularly on the breeding grounds. A late spring may prevent nesting; an early freeze-up may cause heavy casualties among the young. Consequently, the size of wintering populations may swing widely, with the number of young birds varying from less than 10 percent to more than 30 percent of the total.
Abundance: Occasional Earliest observed:
Typical spring arrival: Apr. 6
Typical fall arrival: Oct. 14
Breeding Status: Migrant Latest observed:
Typical spring departure: May 10
Typical fall departure: Nov. 4

Tests find elevated lead levels at 5 more Chicago schools
PUBLISHED: June 14, 2016 at 12:23 a.m. | UPDATED: May 18, 2018 at 11:52 a.m.
CHICAGO (AP) — Elevated lead levels have been found in water in five more Chicago public schools, bringing to 19 the number of buildings where tests have uncovered levels that exceed a federal standard of 15 parts per billion.
Chicago Public Schools officials say the district has tested water at 224 of 324 school buildings that were constructed prior to 1986. So far, the district said it has received test results for 74 schools.
In the latest results, water from one sink at the Blair Early Childhood Center, a specialty school for disabled children between the ages of 3 and 6, showed lead levels as high as 1,100 parts per billion, while the water fountain showed levels as high as 357 parts per billion.
District officials say water at all public schools will be tested.

Technical Training: What is the secret to Germany's success?
Germany is considered to be a leader in vocational education. Here's why students in Germany are still eager to pursue technical training in a digital world.
Technical skills have become unfashionable in the digital age, but skilled tradesmen and women are critical to the success of any economy.
In South Africa technical skills shortages are a major challenge. Despite the government's efforts to promote vocational training the majority of students still pursue university degrees.
This is true for many countries around the world. However Germany has managed to maintain a balance between technical and academic training. So what is their secret?
According to the video 'Dual VET - Vocational Education and Training in Germany' the reason why Germany continues to thrive economically is largely due to its dual training system.
In this training model students complete 70% of their training in a company or sector that relates to their coursework.
This means that only 30% of training time is spent at a vocational school.
In this system the companies and vocational institutions work together to ensure that the training is relevant to the industry.
In addition employers can adapt the training programme to incorporate the company's specific needs.
Students who complete their training are therefore more likely to find permanent employment because they have in fact been trained by their future employers.
Because employment levels in the artisan industry are high, school leavers are motivated to pursue a career in one of these fields.

Agustín Valido (Buenos Aires, 31 de janeiro de 1914 - 23 de fevereiro de 1998) foi um ex-futebolista argentino. Defendeu o Flamengo por 143 jogos, de 1937 a 1944, e marcou 45 gols, sendo o mais importante aquele na final do Campeonato Carioca de 1944 que garantiu o primeiro Tricampeonato ao Flamengo. O jogador era pura simpatia e afirmou que o Flamengo foi a maior emoção de sua vida. Em 2020, em um ranking elaborado por especialistas dos jornais O Globo e Extra, figurou na 27ª posição entre os maiores ídolos de futebol da história do Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, sendo um dos 4 estrangeiros da lista.

Antes de vir para o Flamengo e se tornar ídolo, Valido jogou pelo Boca Juniors.

Mas sua história é bastante curiosa. Em 1944, já aposentado, ele foi à Gávea para disputar uma pelada com operários da sua gráfica. Ao vê-lo atuar, o técnico Flávio Costa o convidou para voltar ao time para a reta final do Campeonato Carioca daquele ano. Relutante, Valido aceitou convite e voltou aos gramados marcando presença na goleada de 6x1 contra o Fluminense. No jogo seguinte, a decisão contra o Vasco da Gama, Valido, apesar de atuar com 39 graus de febre, marcou o gol da vitória rubro-negra por 1x0 aos 41 minutos do segundo tempo, garantindo para o Flamengo o Tricampeonato Carioca de 42-43-44.

Valido começou sua carreira no Boca Juniors, onde foi campeão nacional em 1934. Posteriormente jogou pelo Lanús até 1937, ano em que atuou pelo Combinado Becar-Varella em excursão pelo Rio de Janeiro, jogando inclusive contra o Flamengo. Nessa excursão Valido chamou a atenção dos dirigentes do rubro-negro que acabaram por trazê-lo para a Gávea, onde permaneceu até o encerramento de sua carreira em 1943.
