Confession: I don't mind it when airlines lose my luggage. Sure, it's inconvenient for a day or two. But at the end of it, I end up with some compensation in my back pocket, and some new clothes in my wardrobe, courtesy of the airline.
But I accept that not everyone feels as I do. For this reason, I think it's kinda cool that Delta has included a real-time luggage tracker in the latest version of its mobile app.
The feature apparently cost $50 million to build. It allows you to see where your stuff is – provided that it's at one of the 84 airports that support Delta's new tracking tech.
Here's how it works. All bags will get an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. This allows Delta to track them in real-time using radio waves.
Scanners positioned throughout the baggage system will allow Delta to monitor where the bag is, and relay that information to the passenger.
Delta has traditionally been one of the best airlines when it comes to handling baggage. During 2012, it lost only 200,000 bags. That sounds like a lot, but bear in mind it carried 98 million passengers during the same period.
You can try the feature on your next Delta flight by grabbing the app from Google Play and the App Store. Oh, and let us know how it works for you

A social science that encompasses teaching and learning specific knowledge, beliefs, and skills. Licensed and practicing teachers in the field use a variety of methods and materials in order to impart a curriculum.
Activity aimed at developing the knowledge, skills, moral values and understanding required to function effectively in a social environment (see training).
education 1. The imparting and acquiring of knowledge through teaching and learning; especially, at a school or similar institution. 2. The system of educating people in a community or society. After all, what is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn? —Peter Ustinov, in Dear Me; 1977.


Whether you are headed just for a short trip by automobile, flying to a unique state, or touring oversees, it will help pack all of the necessities you would possibly want and not to forget issues. I can inform you that with a number of tips, you, can also fly to your favourite vacation spot and benefit from the journey that you simply deserve! Choosing airlines throughout the similar alliance will lower your costs and enhance your community of rewards, especially for those who journey usually all year long. The main airlines will see their networks crippled, whereas smaller U.S. LCC airlines will do nicely and be poised to benefit from opportunities. Singapore Airlines enjoy various aggressive benefits and strengths that has contributed to its success over time. The added competitors, along with pricing freedom, implies that new entrants often take market share with highly reduced rates that, to a limited diploma, full service airlines should match. Every of these uniforms has their very own merits and displays on the company cultures of the airlines.
Gordon Bethune, the former chairman and chief government officer of Continental Airlines (Continental) from 1994-2004 is presented as an example. Lengthy-time period parking: Long-time period parking is simply out there on the KLIA important terminal building. Contact Rand and let him explain the small print, what the noises are and how we train, navigate and fly a flight plan. When you have dreamt of getting a revered job in the reputed airlines company then make it true by enrolling your title in the programs supplied by this firm. Will increase in fuel prices affect the airlines in two methods; the cost of gas has an apparent and direct impact on the price of operation, and gas cost will increase have repeatedly triggered financial recessions, which in flip result in a substantial decline in demand for air journey and air cargo. International airports: Many airlines assist home travel, however just some supply flights to worldwide locations.
Additionally it is now dealing with rising competitors from quite a few native personal airlines and some international carriers. All different low cost carrier airlines such as Air Asia makes use of the low cost provider terminal or generally known as LCCT, in Sepang. Should you're blessed enough to have your organization fly you round for work on Singapore Airlines (even in financial system class), the miles can rack up mighty shortly. Listed here are a few of the airlines which can be hiring flight attendants/managers or have upcoming Open Home Interview(s).
Despite being almost a decade previous, Singapore Airlines Suites is unquestionably still certainly one of, if not the perfect overall experiences you may get in the air. Early boarding: Customers who fly with the identical airline frequently may earn sufficient factors to get additional benefits akin to early boarding or boarding proper after or with first- and enterprise-class passengers. The uniforms should additionally comply with occupational health and safety requirements, as effectively conserving in mind the various climates by which they fly to.
I held many, many roles during my forty plus years of work expertise, but this job needed to be among the many most memorable. Southwest Airlines is reported to have numerous discounts for ages 65 and up. However the ordinary warnings apply: name first, find out about other fees, and many others. It was one of the prime airlines previously, sadly international operation needed to be downsized and fleet was minimize after the 1997 Asian Monetary Crisis. Ayun lang… could mga airlines naman na mababa ang customary.. ndi nila na display screen na mabuti kaya nakapag hire ng sakitin.

Experience the joys of Andrea Bocelli's world by visiting places that the revered tenor and his family own in and around his hometown of Lajatico. Your enlightening journey will begin at the Teatro del Silenzio, an open-air amphitheater that Bocelli's architect brother designed. Andrea performs here but once a year; the rest of the time the theater is silent, filled only by the sounds of nature. The family's influence also extends into wine making, as you will discover while touring the Bocelli wine cellars, which hold classic Italian wines produced on the Tuscan estate that the family has owned since 1730.
You will have the opportunity to sample the wines and indulge in a buffet-style lunch of Tuscan delicacies at the Officine Bocelli restaurant. The wines may include a red made entirely from Sangiovese grapes and a crisp, complex Pinot Grigio. Upstairs, you will find a museum with a collection of awards, photos and memorabilia that celebrates Andrea's musical achievements.

Behold the natural attractions of Cephalonia, including those beneath the surface, such as the Drogarati Cave and subterranean Melissani Lake.
Departing from the pier, you'll drive toward the eastern shore of Cephalonia, the largest Ionian island. Arriving at the Drogarati Cave, you'll descend a flight of stairs into a large cavern which is lighted for dramatic effect. Stalactites hang from the ceiling like jagged curtains, and ancient stalagmites reach up from the rocky floor. The colors are predominately red, orange, yellow and white, from the iron content in the rock and the layers of chalk and limestone.
Although estimated to be 100 million years old, the cave wasn't discovered until about 300 years ago when a violent earthquake opened an entrance. Inside the cave's Chamber of Exaltation, the acoustics are considered near perfect, and concert events are often held in its voluminous interior. Even the famed opera soprano, Maria Callas, sang here.
Continuing on, you will travel in a northerly direction, passing the town of Sami en route to the renowned Melissani Lake. This underground phenomenon looks absolutely magical in the shafts of light that come from 100 feet above, where parts of the ceiling collapsed decades ago. You'll enter the lake by small boat, paddled in so it hardly disturbs the surface of the water, which is a brackish mix of saltwater from the Ionian Sea and freshwater that originated back in Argostoli and then flowed across the island. The stalactites hanging from the ceiling here are estimated to be at least 20,000 years old.
Afterwards, you'll return to Argostoli via a picturesque coastal route that offers spectacular views across the strait to the island of Ithaca, and further along, Myrtos and its dramatic, sheer white cliffs.

Visit three meticulously excavated cities whose ruins reveal their splendor and prosperity in ancient times.
After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a picturesque drive to the excavated ruins of Miletus, an ancient city that the Greeks founded near the Menderes River. Although the city was abandoned in the 6th century when its harbors silted up, Miletus once prospered, as you will discover by wandering through its remains.
Among the highlights are a Greco-Roman theater that held 25,000 spectators and the Baths of Faustina, a complex with water fountains shaped like the river god Meander. Despite the relevance of the historical sites, it is hard to imagine that Miletus was once on a peninsula with four harbors, as it is now on a plain that lies five miles inland.
Not far away, you will find the ruins of Didyma, whose key landmark is the Temple of Apollo. One of the largest temples in the ancient world, it was a magnificent monument whose sacred oracle rivaled that of the more famed one in Delphi.
More fabulous ruins await your exploration in the World Heritage site Ephesus, where you will behold one excavated building after another. They include the theater where St. Paul preached, the Church of the Virgin Mary and the Library of Celsus, a monument constructed as a mausoleum with a separate library for scrolls and codexes.
Back in Kusadasi, you might spend free time shopping or stay in town longer for an enlightening carpet lecture.

On December 3-4, 2018, IPHI facilitated a 2-day workshop on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) with state and local leaders in early childhood education in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The workshop supported Nemours Children's Health System Project HOPE: Harnessing Opportunity for Positive Equitable Early Childhood Development, which is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to assist state partners in strengthening their early childhood education systems to promote equity. IPHI adapted their existing curriculum to the needs of state partners in Oklahoma. Content included an overview of definitions and concepts related to EDI utilizing a public health lens, in-depth exploration of a multi-level framework for understanding and undoing structural racism and other forms of oppression, strategies for equitable engagement of partners by analyzing power dynamics, and action planning for the participants to begin integrating equity concepts and strategies into their workplans. IPHI will conduct similar workshops in 2019 with partners in other state-level coalitions that are participating in Project HOPE.

Anyone who still sees libraries primarily as places to borrow books certainly wasn't onsite for the opening general session of the American Library Association (ALA) 2015 Annual Conference here in San Francisco last Friday afternoon. It was an event that set the tone for the entire conference for many of us. It reminded us how interwoven libraries and library staff members are with the communities they serve. And it was a perfect way to celebrate the larger events unfolding around us.
Those of us arriving onsite early in the day for a variety of preconference activities and informal conversations with friends and colleagues were primed for certain levels of excitement. We were about to see more than 22,000 members of our community from all over the United States and other parts of the world. We knew there would be plenty of festivities centered on SF Pride activities (including the Pride Parade) all weekend. And we knew that ALA staff was doing its usual first-rate job of creating a conference guaranteed to inspire onsite as well as offsite Association members by offering more than 2,400 learning opportunities over a five-day period.
We could not, however, have anticipated that we would be together here in San Francisco on the morning that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality would be announced and the afternoon that Roberta Kaplan, a key player in the efforts to achieve marriage equality, would be serving as a keynote speaker onsite. News about the ruling quickly spread around the conference site—Moscone Center—that morning, priming us for a major celebration at the opening session—and Kaplan didn't let us down with her from-the-heart description of her personal and professional investments in promoting marriage equality.
Drawing heavily from the opening pages of her upcoming (October 2015) book (with Lisa Dickey), Then Comes Marriage: United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA [the Defense of Marriage Act], she recalled the far-from-encouraging moment when she abruptly and unexpectedly came out to her parents. Visiting her in New York City (in 1991) during the weekend of the annual Gay Pride Parade, they were in her apartment as her mother became increasingly, openly critical of the parade and those who supported it. After Kaplan repeatedly, unsuccessfully told her mother to stop offering those unwelcome comments, Kaplan ended up coming out to her parents by responding to her mother's question, "What's the matter? Are you gay or something?" with a blunt "Yes," and then walked out of her own apartment as her mother continued literally beating her own head against one of the walls.
The overall story she briefly told us (and which remains available, in part, on the American Libraries website), of how she went from being a closeted lesbian to being the litigator who successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Windsor, unfolds nicely and in much more detail in Then Comes Marriage, as many of us who received advance uncorrected proofs of the book at the ALA Annual Conference are learning now that we have time to read it. And the ample causes for celebration that afternoon—and now—included Kaplan's comment that the entire struggle for marriage equality has left us with something significant to celebrate: our ability to grow and change just as—she noted—her mother has grown and changed in coming to accept Kaplan as a lesbian and, again, a cherished daughter.
It would have been difficult to predict that there could have been anything to rival the power and inspiration of Kaplan's presentation on that particular day, in this particular city. Our ALA staff colleagues, however, managed to find it by concluding the opening general session with the first-ever People First Award, sponsored by Tech Logic and given to the Pennsylvania Avenue Branch of Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and ALA 2014-2015 President Courtney Young were onsite to deliver the award to Melanie Townsend-Diggs (whose extraordinary commitment to the library and her community earned the award) and to Carla Hayden, Chief Executive Officer of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
Tech Logic's press release captures the thought behind the award: Staff demonstrated "exemplary leadership during several days of riots, which were concentrated at the intersection of North and Pennsylvania Avenues. On April 27, violence ensued after the funeral of Freddie Gray, an African American man who died in police custody earlier that month. As tensions increased and buildings surrounding the library burned, Enoch Pratt Library remained open, providing a safe haven for patrons inside.
There's plenty more to say about the conference and the people who contributed to its success, and I was still thinking about that opening general session a few days later after repeatedly running into and talking with a wonderful colleague with whom I usually have all too little time to sit and chat. As our third extended conversation in one day was drawing to a close, I told him how much I had enjoyed the exchanges we had had, and he immediately responded by suggesting "a 20-second hug"—a concept new to me and that quite literally is nothing more than an embrace that, in lasting for at least 20 seconds, seems to magically slow us down, deliver a sense of comfort and trust, and reminds us that some things—like enjoying the company of those we love—just cannot be rushed.
As we reluctantly disengaged from the initial 20-second hug—and then, for good measure, immediately fell into another—I couldn't help but think about how the interweaving of community, pride, and hugs combined to create a sort of tapestry of what ALA 2015 meant to me and to so many colleagues with whom I have spoken during the past several days. It was also yet another reminder that libraries always have been and always will be about far more than books and other elements of the collections. ALA members and guests came together, worked to be sure we included those who would otherwise have been left behind, and left that conference with an even stronger sense of community and pride than any of us could have imagined having—which is, of course, one of the greatest gifts an association can give its members as those members contribute to the making of the gift itself.
N.B. – This is the second in a series of reflections inspired by the American Library Association 2015 Annual Conference in San Francisco.
Kudos, once again, to our colleagues in the American Library Association (ALA). Where many professional associations that offer onsite conferences focus their attention almost exclusively on the paying members who are physically attending, ALA's commitment to use social media tools to include those who would otherwise be left behind is again on display this week.
This is clearly an association that is interested in long-term relationships with all its members even if not all of them can support the Association through payment of conference registration fees; expenditures for food, travel, and lodgings; time spent preparing for and participating in conference activities including countless hours of work on committees; and other volunteer efforts that contribute to the strength of the Association and its work.
It's tremendously encouraging to see the various levels at which conference attendees and Association staff members work to support their offsite as well as their onsite colleagues. Dozens of onsite participants set aside at least two or three hours to volunteer as Ambassadors in the Annual Conference program I manage for ALA Membership Development. Available side-by-side with ALA staff members in the ALA Lounge onsite as well as in a variety of conference areas as "Roaming Ambassadors," they work enthusiastically to answer logistical questions (e.g., where events are taking place, where conference shuttle buses arrive and depart, where coat check and first aid stations are) as well as deeper questions about the Association's numerous divisions, round tables, sections, and other opportunities for involvement in sustaining the Association and preparing it for its future. A few also contribute resources available to first-time as well as experienced conference attendees.
But it's not just the organized efforts that make this work. Hundreds of onsite participants will reach each other and their offsite colleagues through tweets ranging from whimsical observations to solid 140-character reports summarizing content from many of the more than 2,400 sessions that will be offered while the conference is underway—in essence drawing offsite colleagues into the room and encouraging offsite colleagues to participate through responses as well as questions that occasionally are passed on to presenters so the size of the room extends well beyond what we see here in Moscone Center. And there are always signs of new innovations: large electronic boards displaying the latest tweets from the conference Twitter feed were, for the first time, spread throughout the conference halls today as if to remind us that part of the conference is happening in rooms housing individual sessions, part of the conference is happening though interactions via Twitter among onsite participants, and part of the conference is happening via the interactions between onsite and offsite colleagues.
There seems to be something for everyone, and those of us lucky enough to live here in the city that is hosting the conference are the luckiest of all in that we have already been reaping the benefits of having much-cherished additional time with friends and colleagues who arrived a few days early. Our conversations are magnificent opportunities to share information and to catch up with friends and colleagues we see all too rarely. Our conversations are also the individual moments that, like the bricks in an enormous and attractive structure, serve as the raw materials shaping the vitality of the entire Association itself.
I'm looking forward to contributing—via tweets, blog postings, and other online offerings—to the continuing strength and growth of this professional family, and hope onsite and offsite colleagues will do the same so no one will be left behind.

I like to image the reddest stars in the sky, and these are usually carbon stars, having more carbon than oxygen in their outer layers. Carbon stars are always variable stars, and by stellar standards they're cool and thus appear red.
The Kemble's Cascade region boasts two carbon stars, an S-type star, and a beautiful little open cluster (NGC 1502) that looks like a splash pool at the bottom of the starry cascade. Moving to the right from the center of the cascade we find carbon star V Camelopardalis, SAO 12870. This star has a color index (B-V index) of nearly 5. The B-V index gives an indication of the redness of a star -- anything over 2 is very red, so 5 is extremely red. At the bottom of the cascade is carbon star UV Camelopardalis, SAO 13009. UV Camelopardalis has a B-V index of 2.54. Sitting just above V Camelopardalis is another very red star, BD Camelopardalis, SAO 12874. This unusual S-type star exhibits the unique spectral features of zirconium oxide. Also a variable star, BD Camelopardalis can at times be the brightest S-type star in the sky. It has a B-V index of 1.97.
Kemble's Cascade was just recently discovered. It was first noted in 1980, by Father Lucian J. Kemble. He used binoculars while viewing from Alberta, Canada to make his discovery. The above photo was taken from the New Forest Observatory on February 13, 2015.

How do companies fit into this cycle?
Some product companies maybe making good profits, but the manufacturing arm is under huge pressure, mainly driven by the consumer wanting cheaper product, but also by global competition and mechanisation. This of course is not a bad thing, but re-tooling factories is expensive, and inevitably moving away from products or packaging containing single use to more sustainable substrates or components, can involve significant capital. When margins are tight and getting tighter, how do you generate the revenue to release capital or get loans? This is not an easy conundrum, especially with AI and advancing mechanisation, e.g.which tooling do you invest in? Furthermore, your new machine could be outdated and inefficient soon.
All these factors generate a complex problem. There is no doubt that purchasing habits must change, and possibly raising the price for the end product which some have mooted, might help. The further conundrum is where does this extra money go? If it is in the form of a "Tax", does this go for awareness campaigns, better recycling/processing or R&D into sustainable components ?All of these help, but if we follow the principle that the money/help should go to the companies that are most squeezed, then this should be the manufacturers. There is central funding for new machinery administered by the Local Enterprise Partnership and other bodies, and "UK plc" needs to fund mechanisms post Brexit. However, if you follow the principle, that necessity is the mother of invention, then manufacturers have the opportunity to take more control, and take hidden wastes out of their own processes. If we further follow the Lean mindset, i.e. the customer is only prepared to pay for what they have value for, then manufacturers must look at all their internal processes with a "Lean Approach". As Lean has been around for 40+ years, significant gains have already been made, but it is all too easy to declare victory early, and not seek continuous improvement and reinvention. There is also a tendency to only look at one aspect or dimension of waste. At L2S, we see four distinct dimensions of waste. We deliberately call them dimensions not categories, because it is not just lean tools /approaches, that will reduce them, it is the mindset. Our dimensions are Process, Energy, Environmental and Transaction Based. The key point is that they are all interrelated, and if you attack one, it is likely you will positively impact the others directly or indirectly. It is also critical that manufacturers don't forget all the dimensions when approaching one or two, as the risk of sub-optimisation rears it ugly head. With this approach, we have the greatest chance of continued success, but it takes commitment and employee engagement.
All sorts of elements and agencies in the value chain can help, but ultimately the best and most effective approach is what we can control and influence, or simply let's not try and "boil the ocean".
P.S. We are aware of the recent plastic eating enzyme which could solve planet's plastic pollution issue long term.


Welcome to the August 2, 2017 edition of ACM TechNews, providing timely information for IT professionals three times a week.
Why Was MacronLeaks' Influence Limited in the French Election?
Imperial College London professor Erol Gelenbe says artificial neural networks can ease language translation by executing a three-step process. The process includes word translations, syntax mapping, and contextual translation, which Gelenbe, recipient of the 2008 ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award, says the neural networks can achieve by storing and matching patterns. A key element of the translation process is long short-term memories (LSTMs), which support machine learning and can learn from experience. Swiss Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence president Jurgen Schmidhuber expects LSTM recurrent neural networks to eventually enable "end-to-end video-based speech recognition and translation, including lip-reading and face animation." Meanwhile, Google Brain recently announced its researchers are using neural networks to improve speech-to-text translation. Microsoft Research's Rick Rashid says the creation and deployment of deep-learning neural networks by his company's researchers has significantly reduced word error rates in transcribed translations, which he notes could be useful to international business dealings, and have a major effect on cross-industry learning.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge in the U.K. analyzed Twitter data to determine whether celebrity-level accounts with more than 10 million followers exhibit more bot-like retweeting behavior than users with fewer followers. The team's bot detection algorithm achieved about 86-percent accuracy in detecting bots on Twitter using a classifier known as Random Forests, which employs 21 features to identify bots. The classifier is trained on the original dataset annotated by human researchers. Differences between bot accounts and those run by humans include the former generating more tweets than the latter, while also retweeting far more frequently, and redirecting users to external websites far more often. Still, humans' tweets are more engaging, receiving on average 19 times more likes and 10 times more retweets than bot accounts. The research will be presented this month at the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) in Sydney, Australia.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Germany have developed ClothCapture (ClothCap), technology that can digitally capture clothing on moving people, turn it into a three-dimensional digital platform, and dress virtual avatars with it. ClothCap uses four-dimensional movies of people recorded with a high-resolution scanner and computes body shape and motion under their clothing while separately tracking the garments. "The software turns the captured scans into separate meshes corresponding to the clothing and the body," says MPI-IS' Sergi Pujades. ClothCap could lead to systems enabling users to virtually try on clothes. "First a retailer needs to scan a professional model in a variety of poses and clothing to create a digital wardrobe of clothing items," says MPI-IS' Michael Black. "Then a user can select an item and visualize how it looks on their virtual avatar." The researchers presented their findings this week at the ACM SIGGRAPH Conference in Los Angeles.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada have created FlowRep, software that can create a design sketch of an everyday object. The researchers developed FlowRep using insights from Gestalt psychology, which explains how humans interpret visual content and understand depth from two-dimensional drawings. "This program answers the question about which surface curves we need to trace so that human observers can imagine a shape," says UBC professor Alla Sheffer. The research builds on earlier algorithms that can turn sketches and drawings into three-dimensional (3D) shapes. The programs can be used in conjunction to recreate objects, and could be applied to fields such as 3D printing and fabrication. During testing, the sketches and 3D curves produced by FlowRep were deemed comparable to those produced by professional designers. The researchers presented the program this week at the ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 conference in Los Angeles.
A German journalist and data scientist say they were able to easily obtain the "anonymous" online browsing information of more than 3 million Germans by setting up a bogus company complete with a website, a LinkedIn page for its CEO, and a careers site. They used the fake company to test a hypothetical machine-learning marketing algorithm. "We wrote and called nearly a hundred companies, and asked if we could have the raw [browsing] data, the clickstream from people's lives," says journalist Svea Eckert. Eckert and fellow researcher Andreas Dewes eventually were able to secure the data from a single broker for free. Eckert and Dewes presented their findings last week at the DEF CON hacking conference in Las Vegas, noting the 3 billion URLs they acquired were diffused over 9 million different websites. Some site users were infrequent, with only a few dozen sites visited, while others had tens of thousands of data points.
The University of Texas at Austin's (UT Austin) Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) has launched Stampede2, the most powerful supercomputer at any U.S. university, which UT Austin president Gregory L. Fenves says will enable researchers "to take on the greatest challenges facing society." Stampede2 was built with a $30-million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, and its applications will include large-scale models and data analyses using thousands of processors simultaneously, and smaller computations or interactions via Web-based community platforms. TACC executive director Dan Stanzione predicts Stampede2 "will serve as the workhorse for our nation's scientists and engineers, allowing them to improve our competitiveness and ensure that UT Austin remains a leader in computational research for the national open science community." Stampede2 will have a peak performance of 18 petaflops while consuming half the power of Stampede1. It will be made available to researchers via NSF's Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Google have developed a cellphone-based system that can automatically retouch images. The researchers say the energy-efficient, machine-learning system can display the retouched pictures in real time and accelerate existing image-processing algorithms. For every new task the system learned, it was trained on thousands of pairs of images, both raw and retouched. The research builds on an earlier MIT project in which a cellphone would transmit a low-resolution version of an image to a Web server, which would return a "transform recipe" that could be used to retouch the high-resolution version of the image on the phone, lowering bandwidth consumption. Most of the image processing is handled on a low-resolution image to further boost efficiency. "This technology has the potential to be very useful for real-time image enhancement on mobile platforms," says Google's Jon Barron. The research will be presented this week at the ACM SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles.
Robots capable of feeling tactile sensations from multiple stimuli is the focus of the European SmartCore project, which is researching how to embed highly sensitive sensor arrays at nanoscale that can pick up temperature, humidity, and pressure. "They will be made of a smart polymer core which expands depending on the humidity and temperature, and a piezoelectric shell, which produces an electric current when pressure is applied," says Graz University of Technology in Austria professor Anna Maria Coclite. She notes a successful prototype of the technology will be an artificial skin for robots, and says it could potentially scale down to a level at which the material could sense the presence of bacteria, or acidity in perspiration. Coclite says the first prototype should be ready in 2019, once the challenge of differentiating between multiple senses is tackled. National University of Ireland Galway professor Michel Destrade says enabling such a breakthough will require greater knowledge of biological tissue mechanics.
Researchers at the University of Southern California examined the timeline of the 2017 French presidential election and used previous experience studying Twitter bots during elections to identify anomalies, patterns, and profiles of those who shared, consumed, and revived links to content meant to undermine the Macron campaign. The researchers found the disinformation campaign targeting Macron was limited in its scope and impact because the campaign itself was mostly shared by foreigners outside of France. The team analyzed a dataset of nearly 17 million Twitter posts from April 27, 2017, through May 7, 2017, and used a combination of machine learning and other modeling techniques to discern bots from humans with more than 80-percent accuracy. The researchers estimated that 18 percent of the MacronLeaks promoters were bots, and that "#MacronLeaks" was tweeted about more often in English than in French, which could be a significant reason the disinformation campaign was not more detrimental to the Macron campaign.
Researchers working on the European Union-funded Tunable Photonic Structures via Photomechanical Actuation (PHOTOTUNE) project have created an artificial iris that can react to light to the same degree as a human eye. The study harnessed photoalignment technology in conjunction with light-sensitive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) to build the iris. The research's key breakthrough is the artificial iris' ability to function more autonomously than previous efforts. "An autonomous iris that can independently adjust its shape and the size of its aperture in response to the amount of incoming light is a new innovation in the field of light deformable materials," says PHOTOTUNE researcher Arri Priimagi. The artificial iris, which looks like a contact lens, opens and closes its center based on the amount of light that strikes it. Priimagi says the PHOTOTUNE project highlights the potential of photonics technology for use in medical applications and the next generation of robotics.
Researchers at Texas A&M University have devised a predictive risk analysis framework that can forecast a potential vulnerability to utility assets and map out the location and time of a possible outage. The researchers say this feature enables the trees in the most critical areas with the highest risk to be felled first. "Dealing with aging infrastructure assets adds another layer of complexity that utility companies face," says Texas A&M professor Mladen Kezunovic. "Any kind of environmental data that has some relevance to the power system can be fed into this prediction framework." The model's applications can be tailored by feeding it data such as a utility company's operational records, weather forecasts, altitude, and foliage around the power systems. The team says they use the goals of the power system to select a large volume of input data from multiple sources and conduct a risk analysis, adding to the reliability of the system and its operations.
Researchers at the University of Warwick in the U.K. have conducted a study suggesting Google searches more effectively track Type 2 diabetes. The team proposes that keywords entered into search engines, or posted on social media, related to symptoms or risk factors of the disease can yield accurate real-time data on diabetes' speculative or actual prevalence in specific regions, along with the underlying conditions. The researchers examined risk factors extracted from two U.K. diabetes monitoring models, and then analyzed Google Trends data from persons in the Central London area, comparing weekly fluctuation rates of searched keywords connected with these risk factors. "Unlike quickly spreading diseases, such slowly developing conditions are largely dependent on the personal and community lifestyles...which are currently unaccounted for in the screening models," says Warwick professor Nataliya Tkachenko. "Human online behaviors could help to bridge the gap between real-world human health landscape and synthetic, predominantly bio-centric monitoring tools."
Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) note they currently hold the record (200 MB) for the amount of information stored in and retrieved from DNA molecules. The general methodology involves assigning digital data patterns to DNA nucleotides, and individual DNA strands must be significantly shorter than digital computer files--about 20 bytes of storage capacity for each strand--as lengthier strands complicate chemical synthesis. Following assignment of letter order, the DNA sequences are fabricated on a letter-by-letter basis with chemical reactions. A benefit of this process is the simultaneous generation of many identical sequences, which ensures sufficient backup copies. A sequencing machine that analyzes genomic DNA in cells is employed to read the data back out of storage, with the many backup copies guaranteeing data preservation even as the process destroys the DNA being read. The UW researchers have developed methods enabling identification and reading of only the specific pieces of information needed for retrieval from DNA storage.

Tim McGraw Is Getting Into Character for His Role In '1883'
Billy Dukes Published: August 20, 2021
Tim McGraw looks to be rehearsing for his role in the new television series 1883. On Instagram, the singer and actor offered evidence by way of a pair of black powder-stained blue jeans and James Dutton's journal.
James Dutton is McGraw's character on the Paramount+ show, which is set to premiere on Dec. 19. He is the patriarch of the Dutton family who moves to Montana, eventually leading to events seen through three seasons of Yellowstone (starring Kevin Costner as John Dutton). The matriarch is Margaret Dutton, played by Faith Hill. Sam Elliott is the only other cast member announced for 1883; he is playing a long-haired Shea Brennan who is leading a group on their journey west.
From this Instagram post, fans can gleam two things: the first is that McGraw's character can read and write (not a given in the late 19th century). The second is that there is gonna be some shooting. Based on the tone of Yellowstone, that seemed certain already — in fact, fans would be surprised if there wasn't a whole lot more than shooting through Season 1 of the prequel.
"Gettin in the groove for #1883," McGraw writes, "as for the jeans ... black powder blanks from quick draw practice!!!"
Poverty is a central theme of the new series, which makes a leather-bound journal something of great value to a man like James Dutton. We couldn't track the cost of leather in 1883, but some research shows that a yard of cotton flannel would set you back 16 cents. That's a little less than a pound of coffee (19 cents), but about equal to a pound of lard. Luxurious fabrics like satin were 54 cents a yard.
A quick draw is essential to Western movies, and McGraw's mastery would add one more tool to his cowboy tool belt. He already knows how to ride horses and lasso a wild bull — there's a whole set of skills most fans of his music didn't know he had. We've compiled them in this video:

Q: Output HTML in Angular, from C# Controller I have some HTML being built in my C# controller, and I'm feeding it into the result to be used on an Angular page. It gets to the page, but when it does, the html is unencoded, and shows up as text, not html.
In the C#:
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Details(Guid id)
    {
        return HandleRequest(() =>
        {
            var customer = _csa.GetCustomer(id);

            var bc = (isMobile) ? string.Empty : CreateBreadCrumbDisplay(id);

            return new
            {
                customer,
                bc
            };
        });
    }

In the html:

        {{history.bc}}

What appears on the page:

Employee Dashboard /

Customer Information and History

What should appear:

*

*Employe Dashboard

*Customer Information and History

(but styled by Bootstrap so it's a nice Breadcrumb, and not visually an actual bulleted list)
So, basically, I need to know if there's a way in the html to tell it to display history.bc as actual HTML, and not as text?

A: You'll need to use $sce.trustAsHtml(myhtml) to wrap your data, angular disallows this otherwise.  Then you need to use the ng-bind-html in your html, bound to the variable you've use the trustAshtml function on.
Something like:
vm.bcHtml = $sce.trustAsHtml(myhtml);

Note you'll need to inject the $sce service.
Angular JS Api - $sce
Here's some info on ng-bind-html.
Angular JS Api - ngBindHtml
Finally, you'll need to use the angular $compile service to register inclusion in the angular pipeline.  Here's a SO post that describes it well.  They use ng-bind-html-unsafe, but I believe the preferred method is the one I described above.
Compiling dynamic HTML strings from database

Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13
Cover of the Lost Moon first Edition
Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger
1994 (Houghton Mifflin Company)
1995 (Pocket Books)
378 (first edition)
Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 (published in paperback as Apollo 13), is a non-fiction book first published in 1994 by astronaut Jim Lovell and journalist Jeffrey Kluger, about the failed April 1970 Apollo 13 lunar landing mission which Lovell commanded. The book is the basis of the 1995 film adaptation Apollo 13, directed by Ron Howard.
Lovell was initially approached by Kluger in 1991 about collaborating on the book. Fred Haise was not interested in the collaboration, and Jack Swigert had died of cancer in 1982.[1]
2 Physical description
Apollo 13 was the third mission of the Apollo program intended to land men on the Moon. An explosion of an onboard liquid oxygen tank in the Service Module, when the craft was close to reaching the Moon, crippled the electrical power generation and propulsion systems for the Command Module Odyssey. This necessitated the abort of the lunar landing, and placed the lives of astronauts Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in serious jeopardy. The mission became famous for the safe return of the men, made possible by the flight controllers' resourceful adaptation of the electrical, propulsion, and life support systems of the LM (Lunar Module) Aquarius as a "lifeboat".

Overdue Redress: Surveying and Explaining the Shifting Japanese Jurisprudence on Victims' Compensation Claims
By: William Gao
Victims of Japanese war crimes have historically faced many difficulties in their attempts to secure legal redress. Japanese courts traditionally employ a body of technical defenses to dismiss victims' suits without reaching the merits of the individual complaint. Similarly, compensation suits filed in American courts against Japanese defendants have been dismissed with the encouragement of the American executive branch. This Note addresses a surprising shift in Japanese compensation jurisprudence away from the mechanical application of technical limitations. The new approach attempts to weigh the culpability of the defendant's conduct in an effort to determine whether the technical defenses should apply. As to the impetus for this change in judicial attitude, this Note argues that it is motivated, at least in part, by judicial reconsiderations of Japanese national interest in light of the shifting power dynamic in East Asia.

Architect 1st prize for Wilanow
Miasteczko Wilanów won the prestigious award - "Award for Excellence" from the Urban Land Institute.
In the same time Miasteczo Wilanów beat more than 40 rivals from nearly 20 countries around the world.
Receiving the prestigious award Miasteczko Wilanów was considered as the excellent because of its openness. Project Miasteczko Wilanów is specyfic because of no hedge even there is the wide area of 169 hectares.
Miasteczko Wilanow is opposed to widely practice phenomenon in the world, called urban sprawl - uncontrolled growing of towns. Housing estate is built with harmony with two other, very important features, Wilanowski Palace and Świątynia Opatrzności Bożej (Temple of the God's Providence). The goal, which was given at the very beginning, and achieved by now is fact that none of the buildings do not destroy the view of these two objects and is not overwhelming them by architecture style or height of buildings.
The town was designed by several excellent Polish architects' offices. It is Polish, authentic project. You can not also copy the Miasteczko Wilanów and build in any other country in the world.
Projects from around the world
To win the final was not easy, because the Miasteczko Wilanów had to defeat their opponents from Europe or Africa. This year 43 notifications from 17 countries were sent. But only 14 facilities were qualified for the finals including: shopping mall Istinye Park in Turkey or housing estate Yas Island Development in the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi.

Employment Search – (Sources of Income)
Any basic asset investigation includes an employment search. Most people work for a living, and those that own businesses leave multiple tracks to follow as well. The goal is always to find a source of revenue—whether it be to collect a debt, file a personal injury lawsuit, or even enforce an old judgment with a wage garnishment (called an Earnings Withholding Order in California).
And in family law cases, there may be issues involving health insurance coverage, 401k retirement plan contributions, and continuance of health insurance after spouses split.
This search will also include a search for self-employment, unemployment benefits or disability. If we find any of these sources of income on a subject we consider this a positive result, and the fee is earned.
All of these issues can be the subject of one of our employment searches. We can usually obtain a current work telephone number, and with a variety of techniques can confirm current employment. Obtaining benefits information can take a little longer, but we can usually find out the coverage available to and/or in place for the individual who is the target of your investigation.
Our Employment Searches always includes a written report of our findings.

Greece : When was democracy last seen at the negotiation table ? On irrational behavior of technocrats and democratic leaders
By Pierre Massat
Cathérine Korachais
Dear readers, if you are only interested in global health, this post is probably not for you. But if you have been following the Greek crisis more or less closely, and you feel that the logic behind it has been escaping you, read on. Be aware though that this post will leave you with more questions than answers.
Creditors have been imposing austerity measures on Greece in exchange for loan extensions for more than 5 years. While it can be argued that at the onset of the debt crisis in Europe some economists did genuinely believe that austerity was the answer, over the past two years the opposing camp, the ones who never thought austerity was the way to go in the first place, have won the intellectual debate. Given the flaws in some of the key papers used to defend the pro-austerity position, and the evidence from the figures on the Greek economy, there is no doubt today that austerity doesn't work in the context of Greece.
Recent quotes from the following prominent economists speak for themselves :
* Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize in Economics, thinks the most reasonable solution is "a write-off of Greece's debt" (Time, June 29, 2015).
* Paul Krugman, another Nobel Prize : "Given reports from the negotiations in Brussels, something must be said — namely, what do the creditors, and in particular the IMF, think they're doing?" (New York Times blog, June 25, 2015).
* Thomas Piketty, author of "Capital in the Twenty-First Century": "We have single-handedly turned an American private finance crisis into a European public debt one."(in French, Libération, June 7, 2015)
* Jeffrey Sachs, author of "To End Poverty", "Europe's demands – ostensibly aimed at ensuring that Greece can service its foreign debt – are petulant, naive, and fundamentally self-destructive." (Project Syndicate, June 15, 2015)
* (and one from a few years ago) Olivier Blanchard, IMF's Chief Economist, acknowledged in 2013 "that the fund blew its forecasts for Greece and other European economies because it did not fully understand how government austerity efforts would undermine economic growth." (The Washington Post, January 3, 2013).
Now let's pretend for a moment that it's not democratically elected European leaders who are in charge at the "negotiation" table. To simplify things a bit, let's say it's the "technocrats" of the European Commission, the ECB and the IMF calling the shots. Technocrats don't care much about European citizens' opinion, because they can't lose their job if people are angry. Yet, technocrats do believe in economic science.
From the above quotes it is clear that 2 Nobel Prizes, 1 chief economist at IMF, and 2 world-class professors and authors all agree nowadays that what has been imposed on Greece for over 5 years was plain wrong. Some of them have been saying (or shouting in at least one case) that for nearly 3 years, actually.
Now, rational technocrats would listen to these guys. After all, you'd expect technocrats, of all people, to be rational. We doubt that many of the people who drafted proposals made to Greece have 1/10th of the legitimacy of Stiglitz and Krugman when it comes to macro-economics. So if it were up to them they would probably listen.
Yet that's not what is happening. What has been happening, especially in the past few years (when the intellectual debate was more or less over, and the huge damage inflicted on the Greek society clear for everybody with eyes), goes against technocratic reasoning. Moreover, the whole process has been systematically made as opaque as possible to outsiders (i.e. anybody outside the "Troïka" (now called "the institutions"), it seems). We witness a seemingly endless sequence of so-called "last chance" meetings in Brussels. Yet, the arguments we hear and read in the news feel like those of 4-year-old kids trying to explain who started the fight to their teacher. It is almost never about the content of the proposals, or only in a way that tries to equate a country's budget with that of a household. The issue is never put into perspective. Nobody seems to remember that the global crisis started with the finance industry in 2007/2008, and that it was not a public debt problem in the first place. "The institutions" obviously don't want anybody to understand what is happening, and the media have their own laws, focusing on the polarization, shocks & potential meltdowns. Nobel Prizes seem puzzled by the utter stupidity of austerity measures, as we noticed, but they are mainly used to spice up the op-ed pages of quality newspapers; it's not like the ones in charge seem to be paying much attention. (Granted, some Nobel prizes do say not-so-clever things publicly sometimes, but in principle they can be trusted on their core expertise.)
What is happening also goes against all democratic reasoning : in addition to the lack of transparency and the almost childish framing of the whole battle mentioned above, no population in Europe would be happy to witness this kind of intrusion in their own country, and the resulting suffering. If it were clearly explained to them, no citizens in the EU would back what their leaders are trying to do with Greece, purposefully or not. Also, the risks for the EU of an exit of Greece are too high in terms of credibility (both inside and outside the "Union") for rational democratic leaders to take the chance. Stiglitz and many others go even further by arguing that the Eurozone "was never a very democratic project" in the first place.
So it doesn't make sense, neither from a democratic nor a technocratic point of view. And it can't possibly be collective lunacy.
What is it then ? Who's holding the steering wheel ? Answering this question will not help the Greek people nor will it give us the answer to what might happen if Greece remains in the EU or if it quits. But we'd love to know. It might shed a whole new (and possibly frightening) light on European "high-level" politics. If democratic leaders and technocrats were really in charge, they could have changed their minds when strong evidence against austerity started being published. It would have been 'rational' for them to do so. Yet no such change occurred. Which suggests that "the institutions" have somehow been manipulated all along, possibly by people who made them "an offer they couldn't refuse". So they've stuck to the plan, despite the risk that this might eventually lead to the end of the Eurozone which European leaders of the generation of Merkel and Hollande cherish so much. This may sound far-fetched, but the Institutions' stubbornness is simply staggering.
Anyhow, no matter who is really pulling the strings, Tsipras' government challenges the current balance of powers. By calling on Greek citizens to decide whether they should accept the latest austerity measures imposed by creditors (or not), Tsipras actually poses the right question: do the Greek people want to regain their sovereignty by backing up a government which legitimately represents them? Or do they accept to hand it over completely to the group of non-democratic institutions and individuals who are to a large extent responsible for their current suffering ? Next Sunday's referendum will be a symbolic battle for democracy. It might create a great opportunity not only for the Greeks, but for all European citizens to recover the democratic power they have lost without noticing.
