On you, God, that we are worthless: Greece sent AstraZeneca vaccine to Ukraine
Greece has sent hundreds of thousands of doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to Kenya, Libya and (to) Ukraine, the civil protection ministry spokeswoman said on Twitter on August 18.
The assistance was provided within the framework of the European Civil Protection Mechanism. 180 thousand doses were sent to Kenya, 200 thousand doses to Libya, and 100 thousand doses to (to) Ukraine.
The Greek newspaper To Vima, in connection with this announcement, emphasized that experts say: it is more beneficial for humanity that all people receive two doses of the coronavirus vaccine than to introduce three doses only in the most developed countries.
We will remind, 200 thousand doses of the drug AstraZeneca were delivered to Libya on August 17. The Greek media associated the gift with the restoration of relations with Libya and, in particular, with the establishment in Benghazi of the Consulate General of Greece.
180,000 doses were sent to Kenya on August 6. The plans to send one hundred thousand doses of the vaccine to Ukraine were announced on August 11.
In addition, at the end of July, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that the country would send 150,000 doses to Jordan. It did not specify which vaccine and by which mechanism.
Recall that in Greece itself, recommendations for the use of the drug AstraZeneca revised several times due to reported side effects. In February, the vaccine was recommended before the age of 64, but in June, the Greek National Vaccination Committee said it should not be used for people under 60. And later, after numerous complaints and several deaths, her stopped using for vaccinations…
Well, since the money has been paid, and the validity period has already expired, then you can pose as benefactors and send to the countries of the 4th world, to those who are ready to use the Indian clone of AstraZeneca covishield… Or, as the saying goes, "on you, O God, what is useless for us."
It is worth noting that not only Greece is getting rid of AstraZeneca, but also Poland, which on August 18 sent to (to) Ukraine another 650 thousand doses of this vaccine.

Offers "crystal-clear" image quality and compression rates for a lower total cost of ownership.
Pelco™ by Schneider Electric has released the GFC Professional 4K, a video camera delivering 8 MP resolution detail for demanding video security applications with heavy foot and vehicular traffic. The GFC Professional 4K is also designed to support challenging lighting conditions which are typical in city surveillance, airports, seaports, traffic, gaming facilities, corrections, commercial, and hospitality deployments.
The GFC Professional 4K Camera delivers high definition, crystal clear video at 30 Frames Per Second (FPS) for industries whose operations demand 24/7 surveillance. With this level of clarity, customers can use one camera to cover a large area and digitally zoom-in for detailed information like license plate numbers and faces. By pairing 4K video resolution with H.265 video coding and Pelco's Smart Compression technology, the GFC Professional 4K Camera minimizes network bandwidth and storage costs.
"Pelco has successfully applied 4K technology to solve real security video challenges – providing more detail even in scenes with low light or overly bright areas, and doing this cost-effectively without unduly burdening storage costs," said Sophie Wang, Sr. Global Product Line Manager. "Unlike other vendors' 4K cameras, the robust Pelco Pro firmware feature set on the GFC Professional 4K maximizes image quality, light sensitivity, and much more," she concluded.
In comparative tests using the ISO standard for evaluating a camera's true dynamic range (tone contrast within an image), and not a proprietary vendor test with undisclosed "forensic" conditions, the GFC Professional 4K consistently tested 5 to 9% higher than the competitor's 4K camera. Additionally, the GFC Professional 4K delivers category-leading 0.2 lux light sensitivity performance at 30FPS in color mode.
Up to 4K/8MP Resolution in 30FPS: Contains up to four times the resolution of 1080p, a single fixed camera can cover a wide area with highly accurate and clear details.
H.265 video coding & Pelco Smart Compression: Decrease bandwidth and video recording costs.
Wide Temperature Range: This camera operates in extreme temperature environments with a temperature range between –40° to 60°C (–40°F to 162.5°F), and up to 65°C (149°F) at four hours/day.
100dB True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): Brings out the detail in both very bright and dark areas to maximize visibility and is useful in scenes where there are dark and bright areas in the image; lobby areas with streaming sunlight and nighttime traffic with headlights and taillights that obscure license plates.
IR Illumination: The built-in IR Illuminator produces detailed images in zero light, and the adaptive IR Illuminator avoids overexposure that can hinder detection.
Motorized Lens with P-Iris: In addition to remotely zoom and focus control, the P-Iris enables more precise control on the light reaching the sensor resulting in better image clarity and depth-of-field in all lighting conditions.
IK10, IP66 rating & metal construction: Both indoor and outdoor cameras are rugged, vandal resistant, and waterproof.
Three Independent, Configurable Streams: All three streams are configurable with video coding (H.265/H.264/MJEPG), resolution, and frame rate. This enables more flexibility in recording and viewing video.
Audio and alarm functions: Operators can interface with other systems and the camera to promptly react to events and incidents. Real-time Audio enhances the security information captured by the camera.
Dome versions will be available for purchase in late November, and Bullet versions will be available in December. A video featuring the GFC 4K Professional Camera can be viewed here. For more information about how Pelco is meeting today's security and surveillance challenges, visit www.securityinsights.pelco.com or follow Pelco on Twitter (@PelcoVideo).
Pelco™ by Schneider Electric is a global leader in professional video surveillance system products and technologies with a local presence in 136 countries and over 1,500 channel partners worldwide.

Finalists of the 2018 Community Impact Awards Include North Star and CEO Ed Deutschlander
The winners of Minnesota Business magazine's 2018 Community Impact Awards will be announced at a ceremony on February 22, 2018.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN—Minnesota Business magazine announced the finalists for their 2018 Community Impact Awards, including North Star Resource Group for "Best in Class: 101-300 employees" and North Star CEO Ed Deutschlander for "Paragon of Leadership."
The Community Impact Awards honor Minnesota-based businesses, social enterprise organizations, nonprofits, initiatives and individuals making a significant impact to benefit their surrounding communities. The "Best in Class" categories, separated by number of employees in an organization, recognize for-profit companies for "overall excellence in making a substantial and positive impact on Minnesota communities." North Star was previously the winner of the Best in Class: Midsize Company category at the 2016 Community Impact Awards. The "Paragon of Leadership" award, one of only two categories recognizing specific individuals, recognizes a Minnesota-based for-profit business leader for "making a positive impact through service, character and leadership."
North Star is honored to be represented in two categories for this year's awards. In 2004, North Star established the Scott Richards North Star Charitable Foundation (SRNSCF) in order to maximize charitable contributions as a firm and support causes close to the North Star team. North Star has consistently donated 10% of profits annually to the SRNSCF which, to date, has contributed nearly $4 million to the communities in which North Star individuals live and work in. As a founding board member of the SRNSCF, North Star CEO Ed Deutschlander has long been one of the biggest and most active advocates of charitable efforts throughout the firm. Deutschlander is particularly involved with the SRNSCF's Bikes for Kids event, which he and his wife Toni founded in 2004, and with efforts to raise awareness and funds for a cure for Alzheimer's disease. To date, he has walked over 300 miles with the non-profit organization Stop Alzheimer's Now, founded in 2013 by North Star Senior Vice President Shaun McDuffee.
Winners of the Community Impact Awards will be announced at a ceremony in Minneapolis on February 22, 2018, honoring all finalists as well. For more on the details on the awards, visit http://minnesotabusiness.com/2018-community-impact-awards.

Mote Marine scientists test products to battle red tide
SARASOTA, Fla. (FOX 13) - Inside a lab at Mote Marine, scientists are testing compounds to battle red tide.
"We will be able to tell how much toxins and what type of those brevetoxins are," said Mark Leone, an intern with Florida Gulf Coast University.
They're testing different compounds to reduce and eliminate the toxins.
"The first rule of mitigation is do no more harm than the bloom has done itself," said Dr.Cynthia Heil, the director of the Mote Red Tide Institute. "We need to be absolutely sure whatever compounds we use are not negatively impacting the system further."
They're testing just about everything.
"It can be everything from the seaweeds that are out there to things you buy in health food stores to chemical compounds," she said.
Doctor Heil said killing red tide cells is easy. But even when they're gone, the toxins they release are still lurking.
That's the tricky part. The toxin is what kills fish, birds and other marine animals, and causes respiratory problems for human.
"When the cells die they release the toxins and the water becomes much more toxic. You have to come up with a compound to kill the cells and eliminates the toxins too," said Dr. Heil.
Less than 10% of the compounds they've tested do both. They hope within a year to have a compound ready to test.
"The ultimate hope is that all of these compounds that we test that prove effective have a use and an application," said Dr.Heil.
They eventually hope to create an assortment of products that can neutralize the toxins; everything from a spray that can be used outside restaurants to tablets dissolved in water.
"It would be a tool in the arsenal that they could use to potentially alleviate the impacts," said Dr. Heil.


Johnny Flynn stars as young Albert Einstein and Samantha Colley stars as Mileva Marić in National Geographic's "Genius."
Albert Einstein may have been a genius in the sciences, but when it came to women, he couldn't have been more clueless.
In the second episode of "Genius" – which airs tonight (May 2) at 9 p.m. ET on the National Geographic Channel – watch young Einstein make the first of many mistakes that would characterize his messy love life.
Nat Geo's 10-part global event series shines a light on the more tumultuous side of Einstein's personal life. Last week's series premiere dove right in to the chaos with violent scenes of Nazi Germany and a taste of Einstein's lifelong debauchery.
At the end of Episode 1, we met Mileva Marić – the only person who scored higher than Einstein on the math portion of the entrance exam at Zürich Polytechnic in 1896. Marić shared Einstein's love and affinity for science, and Einstein was instantly drawn to her brilliant mind.
Marić was the only woman enrolled at Zürich Polytechnic at the time and became the second woman to complete a full course of study at the university's department of math and physics. But she never received her diploma after failing the exit exams twice. Marić felt Einstein was at least partially to blame for these failures, as he distracted her and encouraged her to skip lectures.
The real Albert Einstein and Mileva Marić in 1912.
As Einstein courts his new love interest, he fails to notify his previous girlfriend, Marie Winteler (played by Shannon Tarbet), that he has moved on to a new relationship. Einstein and Winteler had become an item one year earlier while he completed secondary school – essentially, high school – at the Argovian cantonal school in Aarau, Switzerland.
Though she was beautiful and endearing, Winteler was no scientist. Einstein wanted a partner who could have stimulating conversations about physics, and Marić fulfilled that desire. But Einstein didn't know how to break things off with Winteler when he met someone new, so he, well, didn't. When the women finally figure out what's going on, things get a little awkward.
See how Einstein's first big love triangle goes awry on the National Geographic Channel tonight. If you haven't seen last week's episode, you can stream it online here (for free).

About Spotters
What to Report
Real-time reports are critical in issuing warnings and saving lives. That's an indisputable fact. Spotters are provide this real-time ground-truth of local conditions - such as hail size, wind speed, tornado development, and local damage - to help warn the public. Even as new technology allows the National Weather Service to issue warnings with greater lead time, spotters will always serve as a critical link between radar indications of severe weather and what's happening on the ground.
Who are spotters?
Virtually every community has some form of spotter network. Often, local fire and police personnel are trained to observe and report severe weather, partly due to their extensive radio communication and 24-hour operations. Citizens may also be an active part of the spotter network, some with an avid interest in the weather and many without. Some spotters are amateur radio operators. All share a sense of responsibility to their neighbors.
What is Skywarn?
SKYWARN is a program sponsored by the National Weather Service. The program is made up of thousands of volunteers who attend regular training and then scan the skies of their communities identifying and reporting critical storm information. These volunteers, sometimes organized under the SKYWARN banner in the U.S., are typically trained by NWS forecasters to be the eyes and ears of both the warning forecasters and the local public safety networks.
NWS Chicago is pleased to host in-person and virtual Storm Spotter training sessions from winter to spring 2023!
The in-person and virtual training will be exactly the same, and cover severe weather hazards including thunderstorms and tornadoes. This includes safety concerns, planning for and anticipating severe thunderstorms, general storm structure and movement, and identification of important storm features.
All sessions last about 2 hours.
They are free and open to the public.
Classes are appropriate for all ages. Ages 10 and up will likely get the most out of the training.
Pre-registration is required to access the virtual sessions and certain in-person sessions. Registration information, if needed, is included when clicking on a date and location in the calendar below.
You may attend a class offered by any NWS office, regardless of where you live.
A few additional training sessions will be added to our calendar over the coming weeks.
Note: Please click on calendar entry below to view more information about the training session including registration information, if needed.
Online Spotter Training Course
The online course is a great introduction to storm spotting and can also be used as a refresher or a way to reinforce what you have learned in an in-person class.
Important points to remember during severe weather:
The NWS Chicago Forecast Office service area covers 23 counties in Illinois and Indiana. Because of this large coverage area, it is important to maintain efficient and effective communication.
Take the time to be sure of your observation.
Take the time to formulate your report before calling.
If you are mobile, make sure you know where you are at all times.
Remain CALM. Speak slowly and clearly.
Please do not relay second-hand reports from TV, scanners, etc.

Become a Spotter in the NWS Chicago Area
So you are interested in becoming a storm spotter for the National Weather Service in the Chicago area. That's great! Now you are wondering how to get started. Well, you've come to the right place! Here are the steps:
1. Read some brief background about storm spotting.
About the Skywarn spotter program
2. Attend a storm spotter training class.
Classes are free, last about 2 hours, and are open to the public. In the WFO Chicago area, spotter training classes are conducted from early February through early April. Scheduling of spotter training classes begins around the New Year. Spotter training classes cover the basics of severe weather, including storm structure, feature identification, spotter positioning, safety, and severe weather communication.
3. Find out about the local storm spotting network in your community.
If possible, attend a class in your local area so you will gain the most information about the Skywarn activities in your own community. If you are not able to attend a class in your community, contact your county emergency manager to learn more about local storm spotting efforts.
4. Retrain.
The NWS Chicago requires that spotters retrain every 2 years to remain active.
Q. What is a storm spotter?
A. The National Weather Service's (NWS) primary mission is to save lives and protect property through the issuance of warnings for hazardous weather. The WSR-88D Doppler Weather Radar is a great tool for detecting and tracking potentially severe storms and essentially all strong and violent tornadoes. However, NWS meteorologists also depend on real-time reports from trained spotters to know exactly what is occurring on the ground under a storm. The NWS trains people to identify severe storms and tornadoes and report them via organized communications networks (primarily local and county emergency management, law enforcement and amateur radio).
Q. What is the difference between a storm spotter and a storm chaser?
A. A storm spotter is volunteer or paid county or municipal employee who is spotting as a community service. Most spotters work as part of an organized network and are in communication with their community or organization, which is in turn in communication with the NWS. Some spotters are "mobile" spotters in vehicles, but most spot from fixed, strategic locations around the community or county. The purpose of spotting is to alert community officials and the NWS and assist them in warning the public. Schools, hospitals, and other facilities are encouraged to have spotters to alert people in their care of impending severe weather.
Storm chasing involves following a developing thunderstorm to view or photograph severe weather phenomena. Chasing may be done for educational purposes or scientific research but is mostly done for personal fulfillment.
Q. I want to be a storm chaser. What should I do?
A. College of DuPage in Glen Ellen offers storm chasing field trips that are open to students and the public. The Valparaiso University Meteorology Department offers storm chasing as an educational tool to 3rd and 4th year meteorology students. There are private firms, mostly in the Great Plains, that offer storm chase tours/vacations. Many can be found through an internet search.
Q. How do I become a spotter?
A. Attend a basic tornado and severe weather spotter class. Classes are held throughout the area, they are free and open to the public. The class takes about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Most classes are held weekday evenings, but there are a few daytime and Saturday classes. The training is generally done in late winter and early spring - before severe weather season. The training consists of a slide and video program which teaches potential spotters about severe storm structure, and how to identify cloud features and other environmental clues to identify severe storms and tornadoes. Communications systems and spotter networks are explained so the spotter knows where to report, and how that information is used by the NWS and local officials. A complete schedule of classes can be found on our website from about late January through April.
Q. Is there a minimum age requirement to become a spotter?
A. Because of the complexity of severe thunderstorm structure and development, and the potential danger involved, spotting is recommended for adults. People of all ages attend spotter training classes. Those ages 10 and up are likely to get the most from the class. Youth who are interested in attending a spotter training class are welcome to attend with a parent or other adult.
Q. I have already taken a spotter class. Where can I learn more?
A. The National Weather Service encourages spotters to be retrained every 2 years. In addition, spotters can attend the Advanced Severe Weather Spotter Workshop at Lisle . The Advanced Spotter class is usually held on a Saturday in early March. It is an all-day class. There is a registration fee that covers the cost of the speakers, lunch and refreshments. More information will be given when the date is set.
Q. Does the NWS issue a certificate or spotter ID number?
A. The NWS does not issue spotter ID numbers. Certificates are available on request. Some county emergency management agencies issue IDs and/or certificates. Please check with your local officials.
Q. Does the NWS have any training material?
A. In the past, the NWS has been able to hand out copies of the Basic Spotters' Field Guide. However, due to limited printing this year, the NWS has made the Field Guide available online. You can find it at: https://www.weather.gov/media/lot/spotter/basicspotterguide.pdf. There is also a version of the Weather Spotter's Field Guide in Spanish too.

Traditionally, family-focused care extends to parents and siblings of children with life-limiting conditions. Only a few studies have focused on the needs of grandparents, who play an important role in the families of children with illness and with life-limiting conditions, in particular. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used as the methodological framework for the study. Seven bereaved grandparents participated in this study. Semistructured, individual, face-to-face interviews were conducted. A number of contextual factors affected the experience of bereaved grandparents, including intergenerational bonds and perceived changes in role following the death of their grandchild. The primary motivation of grandparents stemmed from their role as a parent, not a grandparent. The breadth of pain experienced by grandparents was complicated by the multigenerational positions grandparents occupy within the family. Transition from before to after the death of a grandchild exacerbated the experience of pain. These findings about the unique footprint of grandparent grief suggest the development of family nursing practice to better understand and support grandparents during the illness of a grandchild, in addition to bereavement support.

The use of solid core technology has seen a quiet revolution in the way that chromatography has been performed in many laboratories. However, although this technology has been around for more than 40 years, it is only recently that the design and application of these types of stationary phases have been thoroughly investigated. This has led to a better understanding of how these phases work and also resulted in the design of phases aligned to the structure of the analytes being separated.
In this webinar, we will focus on ways to optimize the performance of solid core technology, paying particular attention to the range of columns that are currently available both in terms of selectivities and morphologies. Using real-life examples coupled with advanced modeling, we will provide a thorough explanation of the effects of the particle size and morphology for both small and large molecules. The goal is to shed light on the future of solid core technology, looking at the generation of unique topological structures that could have a dramatic effect on the separation of large biomolecules.
• Those who want a better understanding of solid core technology.
• Chromatogtaphers developing separations of very complex mixtures in the 'omic' markets.
• Scientists working in generic high throughput laboratories in the pharmaceutical and clinical industries.


Always a pleasure to see Batman using the Hellbat, which was created with help from members of the Justice League. Batman was able to use it against Darkseid but this issue shows it can also be used against demons, or the magical.
Interesting to see that new feature, the Devastator. The two chips symbolizing Superman and Wonder Woman combined together and gave the Hellbat suit a massive power surge.

An on-site or nearby health center will work alongside with any plan design and is not mandatory. It simply compliments the existing health plan, providing a zero-cost option for the eligible employees and their dependents. Some employers may choose to increase steerage by adjusting co-pays or deductibles within their existing health plan.
Because these services will be performed by a contracted third-party administrator and not company employees, medical services are provided at arm's length, similar to what they are now with health plans. Furthermore, hold harmless agreements are in place and malpractice coverage is required to be carried by medical staff, not the employer.
An on-site health center can be strategically located within an existing facility in close proximity to the majority of the employees and dependents. By reaching as few as 25% of the members, significant savings can be realized.
An on-site or nearby health center can provide occupational, primary care, and Rx at a lower price point than what employers are currently paying through insurance plans. By shifting the delivery of a portion of these services to the health center and avoiding claims being processed through the insurance program for these expenses, there will be a reduction to the claims experience. As a result, the overall cost to implement an on-site or nearby health center is usually included in already allocated healthcare and occupational budgets, so it is just a matter of shifting budgeted dollars.
This strategy is offered as a turnkey operation for employers, which minimizes the impact on staff. The health center administrator handles the recruitment and management of the medical staff, the ordering of supplies, disease management, wellness initiatives, as well as all other operational requirements of the health center.
The health and wellness center strategy is completely customizable. The hours and staffing levels may be scaled down to efficiently serve populations as small as a couple hundred employees and robust enough to serve several thousand.
In a world of passing on increased healthcare costs to employees, on-site or near-site medical services allow employers to provide primary and occupational care services at no out-of-pocket cost to your employees, dependents, and retirees, while giving employers a competitive edge by increasing benefits and saving money.
The average office visit typically requires 4 hours away from work and includes long waiting times for patients due to overbooking/under-staffing. With the convenience of an on-site or near-site health center, employees can schedule a dedicated 20-minute time-slot for their visit and often walk away with their prescriptions, returning to work within one hour.


More than 17 species has been identified as causative agent of candidaemia. Identification of Candida species may help in selecting antifungal agents in severely ill ICU patients as the drug resistance continues to be a potential risk factor for cost effectiveness of treatment and outcome. This prospective study was conducted to identify the pattern of prevalence and drug resistance in Candida species. Total 60 isolates were identified and screened for drug resistance from ICU patients. Most commonly isolated species was C. albicans (41.66%) followed by C. Tropicalis (23.33%). Highest drug resistance was seen towards Itraconazole and Fluconazole. All Candida isolates remain susceptible to Voriconazole. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can help in patient management and improve treatment outcome.

Q: Specialize template for a set of values I can specialize a template:
template <class T> T f(T x){ ... }
template <> int f(T x) { ... }

As far as i know, I can not specialize it for a whole set of T? For example for several numerical types, like:
template <class T> T f(T x){ ... }
template <> (int, double) f(T x) { ... }

The round parantheses (int, double) would then represent a whole set of types.

A: I'd write a type trait class for convenience (because there isn't one in standard library) to check if a type is the same as one of a list of types:
template<typename T, typename U, typename... Ts>
struct is_any_of : is_any_of<T,Ts...> { };

template<typename T, typename... Ts>
struct is_any_of<T,T, Ts...> : std::true_type { };

template<typename T, typename U>
struct is_any_of<T,U> : std::false_type { };

Now you can use it with enable_if to conditionaly enable the overload (not specialization):
template <class T> T f() { /* ... */ }

// unlike normal functions, function templates can be overloaded on return types!

template<typename T>
std::enable_if<
    is_any_of< T, int, double, float, short, std::complex<double> >::value,
    T
>::type
f() { /* ... */ }

This unfortunately means that the call to f is ambiguous if T is found in the list of types. If you really need two overloads you can fix this by doing the same thing with the other overload, only with the condition of enable_if reversed (efectively doing "disable_if").

The country has about 137 police personnel to secure every one lakh people, the government told Parliament on Tuesday.
It added that a total of 298 VIPs and VVIPs are also being provided central security cover under various categories.
Minister of State for Home Hansraj G Ahir told Lok Sabha in a written reply that as per data on police organisations published by the Bureau of Police Research and Development, the police-public ratio (per lakh of population) in the country as on January 1, 2016 is 180.59.
However, the elaborate data provided by Ahir in this regard stated that the "actual" strength of the police personnel (per one lakh people) is 137.11.
Talking about VVIP security, he said out of the total 298 such protectees under the central cover, 26 are under the top category of 'Z+', 58 under 'Z', 144 in 'Y+', 2 in 'Y' and 68 in the lowest categorisation of 'X'.
Ahir also said 14 protectees under the 'Z+' category are under the cover of the black cats commando force National Security Guard (NSG).
"NSG has deployed 551 security personnel for the protection of these protectees," he said. Ahir added the total data on expenditure made for VIP security is not maintained centrally.

Gary Numan, né Gary Anthony James Webb le  à Hammersmith, Londres, est un chanteur, guitariste et claviériste britannique révélé en 1979, avec son groupe Tubeway Army, grâce à l'album Replicas, et remarqué grâce au hit Are 'Friends' Electric?. Il a enchaîné plusieurs succès dans la veine « synthpop », avec des chansons comme Cars, She's Got Claws, We Take Mystery (To Bed) ou I Die:You Die. Le titre I Dream of Wires  (album Telekon) a été repris par Robert Palmer (album Clues). Son style s'est fait plus violent à la fin des années 1990 et se rapproche même de la nouvelle scène du rock industriel représentée par des groupes comme Nine Inch Nails, dont un batteur a fait quelques tournées avec lui, ou Ministry. De nombreux groupes de reprises sont dédiés au musicien.

Biographie

Débuts et création de Tubeway Army (1958-1978)
Gary Anthony James Webb est né le  à Hammersmith, à l'ouest de Londres, fils d'un chauffeur d'autobus employé par British Airways à l'aéroport d'Heathrow. À l'âge de 15 ans, son père lui achète une Gibson Les Paul Sunburst, qu'il considère comme son bien le plus précieux. Il joue dans différents groupes, dont Mean Street et Lasers, avant de former Tubeway Army avec son oncle Jess Lidyard à la batterie et Paul Gardiner à la basse. Il découvre alors le synthétiseur Moog. Son nom de scène était initialement « Valériun ».

Mêlant punk et new wave moderne (notamment celle d'Ultravox), le groupe a joué parmi la scène punk et a signé un contrat chez Beggars Banquet, enregistrant ainsi leur premier album, intitulé Tubeway Army. Sorti le 14 novembre 1978, ce premier opus a été tiré à . Si l'album n'a pas eu le succès escompté, il a permis de développer la fascination de Numan pour l'univers de la science-fiction.

La trilogie "machinale" (1979-1980)
Ce n'est qu'à partir de 1979 qu'ils se font connaître du grand public avec leur second album, Replicas, paru en avril. Numan s'inspire des écrits de Philip K. Dick (notamment Les androïdes rêvent-ils de moutons électriques ?) pour composer les singles Down in the Park et surtout Are 'Friends' Electric?, qui triomphe en se classant premier du hit-parade britannique. L'album Replicas fut un énorme succès au Royaume-Uni avec plus de  écoulées. Ce fut également le premier album de ce que Numan appela plus tard la phase « machinale » de sa carrière, précédant The Pleasure Principle et Telekon. Cette « phase » relie les albums par des thèmes communs comme la science-fiction, le futur, les transmutations de l'homme en machine, appuyée par une imagerie androgyne et des sonorités basiques, garage, synthétiques.

Le , à peine cinq mois après le succès de Replicas, Gary Numan publie The Pleasure Principle, cette fois-ci sous son nom et non plus celui du groupe, même si les musiciens restent les mêmes. Ce premier album « solo » reste le plus gros succès commercial et critique de Numan, notamment grâce au tube Cars qui est n° 1 en France, au Royaume-Uni et au Canada. D'autres titres comme Films ou Metal, bien qu'ils ne soient jamais sortis en single, deviennent des classiques souvent joués sur scène. Durant la tournée qui suit, The Touring Principle, Numan affirme son style synthétique et robotique sur scène. Au cours de cette période, la musique de Numan a généré une base de fans appelés "Numanoids", qui l'ont soutenu à travers la seconde moitié des années 1980. La captation live de la tournée est considérée comme étant la première à avoir été commercialisée.

Un an plus tard, Telekon clôt la trilogie « machinale » et fut son troisième numéro 1 consécutif au Royaume-Uni. L'album réintroduit les guitares et Numan y évoque son mal-être face à cette popularité grandissante. Dans la foulée, il annonce une tournée d'adieu qui culmine avec trois dates au Wembley Arena de Londres.

Expérimentations et déclin commercial (1981-1993)
La décision de prendre sa retraite est de courte durée : en 1981, Numan sort Dance, un album plus expérimental qui navigue entre jazz, funk et pop. L'album connaît un succès moindre que ses prédécesseurs, bien que le single She's Got Claws se classe 6e. Numan est vite submergé par la vague new wave qui grandit en Angleterre avec Duran Duran ou Depeche Mode et l'imagerie de Numan devient galvaudée. Dans la même veine, I, Assassin marque la dernière tournée que Numan donne aux États-Unis avant 1996.

Par la suite, Gary Numan essaye de changer de style sans pour autant réussir à renouer avec le succès d'antan : en guerrier type Mad Max sur Warriors (1983), peinturluré de blanc et de bleu sur Berseker (1984) ou en costume 3 pièces blanc sur The Fury (1985). À partir de 1984, ses albums sont désormais produits par sa propre maison de disques, Numa, et non plus Beggars Banquet Records. S'ajoutant à l'échec commercial de Numa Records et de ses différents albums, la fortune en propre de Numan, qu'il a amassée depuis la fin des années 1970, s'amenuise. Se tournant vers une synthpop plus simpliste, Numan est confronté à une sérieuse traversée du désert, entre les multiples échecs commerciaux de ses albums (Strange Charm en 1986, Metal Rhythm en 1988, Outland en 1991) et les moqueries qu'il suscite désormais. De l'aveu du chanteur, Machine + Soul (1992) est son « pire album, [sa] pire période et [sa] pire vente ».

Renaissance et reconnaissance (1994-2012)
En 1994, Numan décide de ne plus tenter de revenir sur le marché de la pop et de se concentrer plutôt sur des thèmes plus personnels, y compris son athéisme affiché. Sa future épouse Gemma l'encourage à se débarrasser des influences de ses dernières années et lui fait notamment découvrir les derniers albums de Depeche Mode ou de Nine Inch Nails. Numan réévalue sa carrière et s'oriente vers une direction plus dure, plus industrielle avec les chansons de l'album Sacrifice, sur lequel il joue presque tous les instruments. Le son plus dur et plus sombre est très bien accueilli par la critique, même si les ventes ne suivent pas. Petit à petit, Numan gagne une nouvelle génération de fans. En effet, en pleine vague rock industriel, beaucoup de groupes phares du mouvement comme Nine Inch Nails ou Marilyn Manson ont clamé leur amour de la musique de Numan, influence première de leur propre musique. L'influence est allée dans les deux sens ; Numan a affirmé que la chanson " Closer " de Nine Inch Nails, son single préféré, a influencé sa musique. Sacrifice a été le dernier album fait par Numan avant de fermer définitivement Numa Records. Ses deux albums studio suivants, Exile (1997) et Pure (2000), bien accueillis par la critique, ont grandement contribué à restaurer sa réputation. Il y évoque des thèmes plus religieux et mystiques. Numan a fait une tournée aux États-Unis pour promouvoir Exile, s'y produisant pour la première fois depuis 1983.

Au début des années 2000, beaucoup d'artistes, comme Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters ou Afrika Bambaataa, reprennent les classiques du chanteur. C'est aussi à cette époque que ses anciens albums commencent à être réédités. En 2006, Jagged permet au chanteur d'organiser une tournée mondiale d'envergure, la première depuis plus de vingt ans. Entre 2008 et 2010, pour fêter les 30 ans respectifs de ces albums, Numan réinterprète Replicas, The Pleasure Principle et Telekon en intégralité sur scène ; et il continue à le faire jusqu'en 2016... Parallèlement, il sort son dix-neuvième album Dead Son Rising en 2011, qui confirme sa popularité renaissante.

Confirmation de la « légende Numan » (2013-)

À partir de 2013, Gary Numan renoue avec le succès commercial : Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind) est son premier album depuis trente ans à atteindre le top 20 anglais. Une tournée de 96 dates se conclut en beauté au Hammersmith Apollo devant  fans.

En 2017, c'est avec Savage (Songs from a Broken World) que Numan fait son retour. La conception de l'album a commencé 2015, par un financement participatif via Pledge Music invitant les donateurs à donner leurs avis sur une chanson, et leur proposant d'obtenir l'album avant sa sortie officielle. Le premier single, My Name Is Ruin, est chanté en duo avec sa fille Persia, qui vient par la suite accompagner son père sur quelques dates. L'album développe un thème post-apocalyptique dans lequel Numan imagine un monde désertique, aux perspectives incertaines. Savage démarre à la deuxième place du top albums anglais et est suivi par une tournée de deux ans et 70 dates.

Attractive Van der Waals Speaker Crowdfunder Promises Nine Inches of Ferrofluid Visualization
A blob of ferrofluid and a clever algorithm provides eye-catching visualization in this smart Bluetooth speaker design.
Gareth Halfacree
2 months ago • Displays / Art / Music
Sergei Kuznetsov and colleagues are looking to bring ferrofluid music visualization mainstream, launching a crowdfunding campaign for an artsy speaker they call the Van der Waals — and boasting a nine-inch ferromagnetic fluid visualization system built-in.
"With Van der Waals, you can get the ultimate audio-visual listening experience — upping the ante and delivering a new dimension to your music experience," claims Kuznetsov. The name of the speaker is a tribute to the memory of the Dutch physicist and Nobel laureate Johannes Diderik van der Waals. He derived an equation of state that proved that the aggregation states of gas and liquid are based on the same level."
The Van der Waals packs ferrofluid visualization into an attractive four-speaker housing — but exists only as renders, for now. (📹: Van der Waals)
As the speaker receives music, a glob of ferrofluid — magnetic fluid - reacts to the movement of magnetic fields, providing a visualization element as it dances and warps. Devices connect via Bluetooth and drive four speakers with a claimed total 50W output power — with USB Type-C Power Delivery as the power source.
"With fluid control algorithms," Kuznetsov claims, "our users can immerse in a breath-taking visual spectacle which can adapt no matter your taste in music. This visualization adjusts according to the overarching frequencies and music volume, and the liquid itself can be seen from near and far."
As well as flashy renders, the team has shown off a functional prototype of the visualization element. (📹: Van der Waals)
It's not an entirely original idea: Earlier this year maker Dadk Jung showed off a 3D-printed ferrofluid visualization speaker which used the very same techniques, right down to Bluetooth connectivity, while the FerroPet eschewed audio functionality in favor of a manually-controlled ferrofluid "pet."
Kuznetsov — whose Kickstarter account is, for some reason, registered under the name "Daniel Feltsman," which does not appear in the list of people involved in the project — has yet to showcase a finished product, leaning heavily on computer-generated renders of the proposed design. The team has, however, shown the ferrofluid blob itself in action — outside the planned speaker housing.
The Van der Walls crowdfunding campaign is now live on Kickstarter, with physical rewards starting at $349 for Super Early Bird backers and $449 for regular backers, with delivery expected to take place in November next year.

Technological Telepathy: Direct Brain-to-Brain Communication Achieved for the First Time
Janey Tracey
Friday, 05 September 2014 - 11:23AM
Two brains have directly said "hello" to each other for the first time. In an experiment conducted by Harvard researchers, "digital telepathy" was achieved when two people in India and France, respectively, said the words "hola" and "ciao" to each other using only their minds.
[Credit: PLOS One]
For the experiment, the subjects were outfitted with electrode caps that received EEG signals from their brains. They then moved their hands and feet in order to spell out words using binary code (moving hands for "1" and feet for "0"). The associated electrical signals were then transmitted directly to the receiver's brain via an internet connection. The transmissions stimulated the receiver's visual cortex in order to make the 1's and 0's appear as points of light in different places in the receiver's field of vision. The receiver would then translate the binary into letters.
"It is kind of technological realisation of the dream of telepathy, but it is definitely not magical," said Giulio Ruffini, theoretical physicist and co-author. "We are using technology to interact electromagnetically with the brain."
The researchers admit that this technology is a long way from "telepathic" devices that can transmit words or entire sentences without any action on the part of the transmitter, but this study is still groundbreaking, as it is the first direct brain-to-brain communication that resulted from conscious thought.
"We wanted to find out if one could communicate directly between two people by reading out the brain activity from one person and injecting brain activity into the second person," said co- author Alvaro Pascual-Leone, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School. "One such pathway is, of course, the internet, so our question became, 'Could we develop an experiment that would bypass the talking or typing part of Internet and establish direct brain-to-brain communication between subjects located far away from each other in India and France?'"
"We hope that in the longer term this could radically change the way we communicate with each other," said Ruffini.
The researchers also acknowledge in their paper that advancements in this technology could have profound social implications: "We anticipate that computers in the not-so-distant future will interact directly with the human brain in a fluent manner, supporting both computer- and brain-to-brain communication routinely. The widespread use of human brain-to-brain technologically mediated communication will create novel possibilities for human interrelation with broad social implications that will require new ethical and legislative responses."

Cool Stuff: 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' Poster By Gabz
Posted on Wednesday, April 29th, 2015 by Germain Lussier
There's a very fine line between making a poster that's artistic and beautiful, but also recognizable as something from a movie. If you go too far one way, it might be obscure. The other way? A lazy, photoshop mashup. It's a true talent to be able to ride that line, and the latest piece by Grey Matter Art shows that talent.
The company has been releasing posters for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the latest one is by Grzegorz Domaradzki, aka Gabz. He goes the untraditional route of doing something kind of traditional – a huge title logo – but gives it his own spin with amazing detail within that space. The poster goes on sale Thursday in three different editions. Read more about it below.
Here are the three different versions of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre poster by Gabz:
Gabz – Texas Chainsaw Massacre poster
This totally could have been a theatrical one sheet, right? But at the same time, it's a truly great and artistic pop culture poster. What a great blend.
These are all 24 x 36 inch screenprints. The Regular edition (muted tan) is an edition of 150 and costs $50. The variant (brighter tan) is an edition of 100 and costs $65. Then there's the foil variant, an edition of 75 which costs $115.
All three go on sale on Thursday April 30 between 1-2 p.m. EST at greymatterart.com.
Here's what the artist had to say about the poster.
Being a huge fan of what Jason Edmiston and Florian Bertmer did for the same title before me, as hard is it was, I wanted my piece to be something completely different. I've been wanting to work on something more editorial-looking for months, and with a title as long as this one, I felt it's a perfect opportunity not to be wasted.
Since viewers of this classic horror flick are meant to believe it's based on a true story, custom-designed typo that looks like a front page of some crazy newspaper seemed like a right thing to do.Instead of focusing on just one scene or character, I included several plot points and all the essential characters destined (or not) to end up on Sawyer's dining table.

It had much potential. Decoded Science. The "working conditions" were excellent, and it was one of the few paying sites. And they were interested in the quality of the writers and each article offered. Articles were to be written with expertise and solid references. Editing was taken seriously. It was a pleasure to have a "woman boss".
But Google seems intent on forcing the small writing site (and some larger less competent sites) out of existence.
