sd recap:
Kelly Sarber
President & CEO of Strategic Management Group
On October 30, we sat down with Kelly Sarber, President & CEO of Strategic Management, a nationally renowned environmental development company specializing in renewable energy, waste disposal and recycling, sustainability and water technologies.
Kelly has a successful and varied path. We found out how she navigated her career and her tips for success.
Find Out What You Are Both Good At And Enjoy – Kelly initially started her career in comedy but then got a job working for the Olympic committee. This position required her to manage lots of logistics, run campaigns, and get along with different types of people, including police, mayors, and other city officials. She realized she was great at both logistics and relationships and really enjoys meeting people and understanding their needs. Having realized this early, these skills have been consistent through her career.
Leverage A Unique Set of Skills To Stand Out·- Subsequently Kelly got an MBA in finance and then collectedly leveraged her skills in relationship building, logistics and finance to enter the garbage business in NYC. She was often one of the only women in the room but the combination of her experience and relationship skills allowed her to standout and create a strong reputation for herself.
Humiliation Can Be Powerful Driver – One day, she found out two of her male colleagues made $150,000 more each. When she asked why, she was told it was because they had families to support. She was so humiliated that she'd been in that position that she knew she couldn't stay any longer. She quit that day and called one of her clients to tell them why. They were furious, and she negotiated a deal with them to become her first client, along with securing a pay increase.
Taking a Break Can Lead to More Success – She and her team later took a company public and had a great exit but she realized she was burned out and couldn't continue in that manner. So, when a friend called her and said she's going to massage school in a tropical location, Kelly followed. She said it was the best thing she ever did, as it allowed her to take a step back and focus on what she really wanted. She then moved back to California and again leveraged her skills for a new industry, creating a life that was more true to her values.
Conferences Are A Great Way To Establish Yourself In A New Industry – When Kelly moved back to California, she wanted to pivot again and chose the renewables space. She started attending conferences to understand the industry and make connections in the space. She then started speaking on panels to gain credibility, and transferred her knowledge in trash and wastewater to be helpful in the renewables space. She reiterated that each of us should keep in mind our transferable skill sets that we can leverage to change your circumstance. With a transferable skill set, there's no need to feel stuck or like you have to start over.
Other Insights include:
Unique Skills Can Provide The Type of Life You Want – Picking a career in a traditionally unsexy business, as well as acquiring multiple transferable skills throughout her career (relationship building, finance, logistics, and campaign management) has been the basis to her success. She was the first person to take political campaign tactics to develop solid waste facilities and she continues to use these political/regulatory/media strategies in her business today. This combination of skills has allowed her to win huge contracts such as a $5 billion renewable energy project she's currently working on. This has given her flexibility in when and where she works which has been important in helping her raise her daughter and give her the time and attention she wants to. She is also able to pick and choose her clients and refuses to work with anyone she doesn't like.
When Building A Team, Find People With Different Skills – Kelly encouraged us to find people to work with that have complementary skills. She knows she's a high level strategic thinker, so she looks for people that are really strong with details. She is also a fan of maintaining the same team for multiple endeavors. She and her team were able to recreate similar successes over multiple companies as they understood how to work together. This team continuity is also something she looks for when angel investing.
Learn The Art Of Saying No – Kelly said it is vital to make time for yourself, and to learn how to no nicely. She now weighs every potential commitment against time with her daughter, working out, or her existing commitments. This creates a high bar for what she agrees to. She is also adamant about scheduling workouts and treats her calendar invites for workouts as any other meeting.
Initiation Can Be Vital For Decisions – Kelly says intuition and spirituality has been a strong part of her success. She started doing tarot cards a long time ago, and does it for herself, on her competitors, and for friends. She finds this a vital part of her decision making. She also is a huge believer in the power of visualization and recommends the book Creative Visualization By Shakti Gawain.
When Picking An Opportunity, Try It Out – When asked about how she decides on opportunities, Kelly suggested micro steps. Before making a huge decision, Kelly tries to take smaller steps, and immerses herself in whatever arena it is in. She meets people, goes to conferences, and tries it out to see if it feels right and she likes it. She suggests that to the extent possible, try out each path and see what you think.
We thank Kelly for her time and her wise insights!

In January and March 2018, 15 Lambda students won the Crescendo International Competition and the Golden Classical Music Award. They are all invited to perform at New York's prestigious Carnegie Hall. Once again, Lambda breaks its own record of success.
In 2017, 12 of Lambda's student were invited to perform at New York's Carnegie Hall.
As director of Lambda School, I am very happy to see every year, we have more students achieve at the national and international level. I am so proud to see our little ones grow, many of which started from scratch, who knew nothing about music and piano. And within a year or so, we see them flourish, excel in their performances and competitions. In the last 6 consecutive years, we have a growing number of students winning national and international competitions, and on an annual basis, students frequent world-class performance venues like Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and soon at Place des Arts in Montreal.
When asked about what is the philosophy of Lambda, director Dr. Angela Chan said, "We are very proud at the achievement of our students. Many graduates even have moved on to become professional musicians, entering bachelor's music performance program at McGill, and now some of our students are applying for American universities such as Curtis, Peabody and Juilliard. Some alumni, still in their teens have developed an early career, performing in the Metropolitan orchestra, winning attention on the limelight, such as winning contests on Virtuose for two years in a row.
But this is only the "side effect" of outstanding training. Dr. Chan said, "The goal of Lambda is to edify, and help students develop an enjoyment and passion towards music. In the process, to enculturate a sense of discipline, focus, patience, and perseverance – and along with the successes and failures experienced, students learn to face challenging situations with a positive attitude. They become empowered through their hard work, and they get a glimpse of success and recognition. This helps them learn how to handle recognition, and not to feel excessively overwhelmed by self-importance. Ultimately, learning music is a discipline, and one becomes humble, more self reflective, and also develop a stronger sense of self-awareness. One aims for excellence, constantly improve to challenge oneself to reach the next level. One is competing with one's highest possible standard. This is the Lambda spirit, and these are also very important elements that a young person needs to learn. And these are useful tools for young people to develop in order to excel in life, no matter what discipline they embark upon. Through music, one can gain these experiences in a positive atmosphere at Lambda School.
When Dr. Chan is asked if her prize winning students will become concert pianists, she adamantly remarked that one has be to really careful that one does not pigeon hole these early achievers. They can outstanding in their music performance, but the bottom line is that, they are still kids. They have not yet developed the level of self-understanding and experience to decide on taking music as a career at such a young age. Also, it is dangerous to channel these students at an early age simply because they display early achievement. The fact is that, pursuing a musical career is not necessary the path for everyone. The truth is that, the classical music industry is already saturated. They have not yet developed the level of self-understanding and experience to decide on taking music as a career at such a young age. Also, it is dangerous to channel these students at an early age simply because they display early achievement. The fact is that, pursuing a musical career is not necessary the path for everyone. The truth is that, the classical music industry is already saturated. How many Lang Langs, Yundi Lis and Yuja Wangs can this world of classic music support? Surviving a livelihood as a classical solo concert pianist is a very difficult path. And it is not necessarily for everyone. I would not channel children exclusively to musical performance just because they did well in performance. They all have multifaceted potential. I would encourage them to develop in a more all rounded manner. They should experience life, all areas of studies and then pick an area of their choice. Life will be more fulfilling that way. Our young Lambda music students, although they play like experienced concert veterans, they are still very young. We encourage them to do things they love – besides piano, they read widely, learn skiing, skating, drawing, painting, swimming, go to the gym to work out… In fact, I suggest boys to go to the gym when they reach puberty, and girls do a lot of swimming to work out the body.
In the last 3 decades of my teaching, many of my former students have become professionals. They spread all over the world, some are doctors, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers, university professors, researchers, but they share a common life long passion, that is, to play the piano. My goal is to share with them the passion of a lifetime. Piano performance is a lifetime's passion, as Rubinstein said "It takes a whole life time to refine your art".
The danger of channeling at too early an age into music performance exclusively is that, the young person has denounced other possibilities in development. Life becomes exclusively locked up in the practice room, coping with demands of examinations, auditions, and competitions at the conservatory. There is much more outside. At an early age, one is supposed to develop and experience the world, and learn. Ultimately, one is able to learn, and integrate what one has experienced into their music.
There are practical elements too. In this current world, it is difficult to make a secure livelihood working exclusively as a musician. Opportunities are limited and it is a risky investment. I have seen some musicians graduate from doctoral program and can barely make ends meet. I don't want my students to suffer. Rather, I would hope to see that they do well in life being a professional, and that they can afford the time and energy to play music and perform, and maintain that as a lifetime passion. There is a common misunderstanding that if you don't study music as a performance major, then you preclude your chances of being a top-notch performer. This is furthest from the truth. Every year, outstanding professionals win competitions such as the Van Cliburn Amateur piano competition. They are by no means any lesser musicians. In fact, many of them play at a world class level and even better than many professionals. The word "amateur" does not mean that one is second rate – rather that from the word, "amateur" meaning one does it for the love of it. I hope that our Lambda graduates will pursue music as a lifetime passion, and live a life full of music that goes beyond Carnegie Hall.

Previous Previous post: Introduction to tractability and approximability of by Chen J.


Suppose we wish to approximate either a mean or a proportion with level of confidence r. However we wish to have a reasonably small margin of error in order to obtain a useful interval. For a specified level of confidence, what random sample size n will guarantee a margin of error no more than e regardless of the measurement or proportion we are studying?
If we know the range of the possible measurements under study, then we can determine the required sample size. Suppose the measurements X are bounded by c and d. For example, suppose a minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4-point scale is required of applicants into the Business College. Then 2.5 <= X <= 4.0, where X is the GPA of all successful applicants.
For "large" populations, a confidence interval for µ is given by Xbar +/- z s / Sqrt(n), where where s is the true population standard deviation, n is the sample size, and z is the z-score such that P(-z <= Z <= z) = r. If we want the error to be no more than e, then we can set z s / Sqrt(n) <= e and solve for n. In doing so, we obtain (z s / e)^2 <= n.
However, we still do not know the true standard deviation s. We do not want to use the sample deviation S at this point because S may be an underestimate of s. In that case, we would also underestimate the required sample size n. Instead, we should replace s with an upper bound for s.
Since c <= X <= d, we can find an upper bound for s. Among all random variables with range [c, d], the one with the largest variance is the random variable Y that equals c with probability 1 / 2 and equals d with probability 1 / 2. In that case Var(Y) = (d - c)^2 / 4. Thus for our measurement X, Var(X) <= (d - c)^2 / 4 and s <= (d - c) / 2. We can then replace s by (d - c) / 2 in the formula for n.
where n is always rounded up to the nearest integer.
Example. Suppose we want a maximum margin of error of 0.05 when finding a 95% confidence interval for the average GPA of Business College applicants, where GPA's range from 2.5 to 4.0. Find the required random sample size for such a confidence interval.
Solution. Using a z-score of 1.96 for a 95% confidence interval, we must choose n at least as large as [1.96* (4.0 - 2.5) / (2 *.05 ) ] ^ 2 = 864.36. So we require a random sample of size 865.
Example. Suppose there are 900 applicants to the business college. We want to find a 95% confidence interval for the GPA that has no more than a 0.05 margin of error. Find the required random sample size for such a confidence interval.
Solution. Using a z-score of 1.96 for a 95% confidence interval and the range of [2.5, 4.0], we must choose n at least as large as 900(1.96*1.5 / (2*.05))^2 / [899 +(1.96* 1.5 / (2*.05))^2 ] = 441.16. So we require a random sample of size 442 from the 900 applicants.
We can quickly find these required sample sizes using the SAMPSIZE program. When prompted, first enter either 1 or 2 to specify a "large" or a finite population. Then enter the parameters to obtain the sample size.
where again n is always rounded up to the nearest integer. Here we are assuming a relatively large population which does not require the finite population correction factor for the standard deviation s.
Example. What sample size will guarantee a maximum margin of error of 0.035 for any 90% confidence interval of a proportion?
Solution. Using a z-score of 1.645 for a 90% confidence interval, we see that n must be at least [1.645 / (2 *.035 ) ] ^ 2 = 552.25. So we require a random sample of size 553.
Example. From a population of size 600, what random sample size is required to have a margin of error of no more than 0.035 with 98% confidence for any proportion estimate?
Solution. Using a z-score of 2.326 for a 98% confidence interval, we must choose n at least as large as 600*(2.326 / (2*.035))^2 / [599 +(2.326 / (2*.035))^2 ] = 388.98. So we require a random sample of size 389 from the 600 members of the population.
We also can find the required sample sizes for proportions with the PSAMPSZE program. When prompted, first enter either 1 or 2 to specify a "large" or a finite population. Then enter the parameters to obtain the sample size.
As with the SAMPSIZE program, the z-scores are not rounded off, so results may differ by +/- 1 as compared to working the problems "by hand."
(a) Among a huge pool of applicants nationwide.
(b) Among a select pool of 500 applicants.
(b) a population of size 2000?

I've been feeling a little scattered inside, lately. A little off, a little stressed. Since I already have plans to go to my Happy Place (Nordstrom) later this week, I decide to do the next best thing: organize.
I read somewhere, and I can't for the life of me remember where, that a hanging shoe organizer makes a great catch-all for the downstairs. So I buy one and yes, yes it does. The compartments are perfect for random camera cords, address labels, envelopes, and ipod cables. Even better, I have ample labeling opportunities. If there were no shoes to buy, I have no doubt I would spend all of my free time labeling. "Safety Pins." "Curry Mix." "Husband."
I hang my fantastic organizational specimen on the back of the basement door, right by the kitchen. It makes me a little sad, to be honest. The whole thing is so calming and orderly that it really deserves to be seen. I sigh peacefully.
I believe it was in Real Simple, because I've read that in the last few weeks.
Brilliant-- I'm copying this idea.
I'm sure you're right, Amber, they have the best suggestions!
Bought a shoe organizer last night. Considered buying a label maker. Should I?
Yes. You guys are making me want to label things. Except I'm not buying anything household-y unless I absolutely need it. Because if I move, that's less to take.
I think the label-maker is a good investment. I've gotten a lot of use out of it, and it's more convenient than printing and gluing. But of course, I do have "obsessive tendencies."

UML election schedule delayed amid last minute struggle to find consensus
https://kathmandupost.com/politics/2021/11/28/uml-election-schedule-delayed-amid-last-minute-struggle-to-find-consensus
The CPN-UML's scheduled election has been delayed after the party leadership struggled to find consensus, with too many aspirants, mostly from chair KP Sharma Oli's side, refusing to budge from their stance.
On Saturday, delegates during the closed session authorised Oli to pick office bearers and Central Committee members for the next five years. The decision, however, has met with severe criticism with some within the party, including Bhim Rawal, calling it an undemocratic process.
Rawal has decided to throw his hat in the ring against Oli for the post of party chair and has already started his election campaign. Similarly, there are too many aspirants for 19 office bearers.
For the one post of senior vice-chair, Subas Nembang and Ishwor Pokhrel are in the race. Both are considered Oli's close aides.
The Central Committee meeting of the party late on Friday night had revised its statute to increase the number of office bearers from 15 to 19 and the number of Central Committee members from 225 to 301 in a bid to select the leadership through consensus.
As per the revised statute, there will be one chair, seven vice-chairs including one senior vice-chair, one general secretary, three deputy-general secretaries and seven secretaries.
The party statute envisions one general secretary but there are at least two claimants from Oli's side–Bishnu Poudel and Shanker Pokhrel.
Leaders say Oli wants Shankar Pokhrel, the former chief minister of Lumbini Province, as the new general secretary of the party. But Bishnu Poudel, who was elevated to the post of general secretary after the UML and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) merged in May 2018 to form the Nepal Communist Party (NCP), too has laid claim to the post. Poudel was made deputy general secretary after the Supreme Court invalidated the NCP in March this year and revived the UML and the Maoist Centre to the pre-May 2018 stage.
For three posts of deputy-general secretary and seven posts of secretary also there are too many aspirants.
Pradeep Gyawali, Binda Pandey, Prithvi Subba Gurung, Yogesh Bhattarai and Top Bahadur Rayamajhi among others are in the race.
For seven posts of secretary, there are at least a dozen aspirants, all from Oli's camp.
If the party had followed its earlier schedule, voting should have started early on Sunday morning. Since electronic voting machines are being used, results were expected by evening.
"We are all prepared for the polls and waiting for the presidium to give the nod," said Bijay Subba, chairperson of the Central Election Commission of the party. "Leaders are still trying to forge consensus."

Plan to fix chip shortage stalls in Congress
By: Joe St. George
WASHINGTON — President Biden has said the shelves will not be empty this Christmas, however, his administration is admitting they have work to do when it comes to another shortfall in the country: computer chips.
IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE
They are tiny but the chips can impact an economy.
The Semiconductor Industry Association describes them as "the brains of modern electronics," allowing the technology in everything from a car to a child's toys to work.
The Secretary of Commerce said last week electric cars use around 2,000 different chips.
That's double the number used in a non-electric car.
It's one reason why there are vehicle buying delays nationwide.
"We are talking about the most critical issue facing Michigan right now," said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) during an event last week.
It is estimated that the auto industry lost over $200 million this year because of the shortage.
HELP STALLED IN CONGRESS
Congress has attempted to address the issue this year, but action has stalled.
The CHIPS ACT passed the Senate with Democratic and Republican votes in June.
However, it has since stalled in the House with some members wanting to write their own version of the bill instead.
The Senate bill creates a new National Semiconductor Technology Center and invests over $50 billion to create more chips in the U.S.
Currently, the U.S. only makes around 12% of the global chip supply.
PATH FORWARD
It is possible, the CHIPS Act gets passed this year, but so far it has not been much of a priority of leadership.
Speaker Pelosi said last week the House and Senate were set to go to a conference to work out differences in the legislation, which was included in a much bigger China competitiveness bill the Senate passed.
It's also possible a version of the CHIPS Act is included in the National Defense Authorization Act which still needs a vote in Congress.
Passing the legislation wouldn't solve the chip problem overnight. It would still take years for many chip-making factories to be built and come online.


In previous issues we have discussed the influence of G2/07 and G1/08, also known as the 'broccoli' and 'tomato' cases, on the patentability of plants which have been, or could have been, obtained by methods excluded from patentability.
These cases both related to the production of plants in which a trait was introduced into the plants by crossing and selection steps.
The Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) decided that since crossing and selection necessarily involve human intervention, the conclusion to be drawn is that a process for the production of plants which is based on the sexual crossing of whole genomes and on the subsequent selection of plants, in which human intervention, including the provision of a technical means, serves to enable or assist the performance of the process steps, is excluded from patentability as being "essentially biological" within the meaning of Article 53(b) of the European Patent Convention (EPC).
On this basis, if a patent claim is related to a process for obtaining plants based on sexual crossing and selection, these claims are not patentable irrespective of what other steps may be included in the claims.


Top-30 accounting firm PKF O'Connor Davies competes with the Big 4 in the hyper-competitive audit and advisory space, and it needed a brand so that it could also contend with the giants.
We developed a new insight that focused on value over service, which we used to build a high-impact brand story. With a well-designed look and feel to make it come to life, the revamped brand and ongoing content campaign have been integral in growing the firm's national reputation and bottom line.

Report on Shishaldin (United States) — 22 July-28 July 2015
Shishaldin
Global Volcanism Program, 2015. Report on Shishaldin (United States). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 22 July-28 July 2015. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
AVO reported that seismicity at Shishaldin continued to be elevated over background levels 22-28 July, indicating that low-level eruptive activity confined to the summit crater likely continued. Cloud cover prevented satellite and webcam observations. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange and the Volcano Alert Level remained at Watch.
Geological Summary. The symmetrical glacier-covered Shishaldin is the highest and one of the most active volcanoes of the Aleutian Islands. It is the westernmost of three large stratovolcanoes in the eastern half of Unimak Island. The Aleuts named the volcano Sisquk, meaning "mountain which points the way when I am lost." Constructed atop an older glacially dissected edifice, it is largely basaltic in composition. Remnants of an older ancestral volcano are exposed on the W and NE sides at 1,500-1,800 m elevation. There are over two dozen pyroclastic cones on its NW flank, which is blanketed by massive aa lava flows. Frequent explosive activity, primarily consisting of Strombolian ash eruptions from the small summit crater, but sometimes producing lava flows, has been recorded since the 18th century. A steam plume often rises from the summit crater.

Great Expectations (Movie Tie-In) (Kobo eBook)
Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and starring Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham, Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, and Jeremy Irvine as Pip
A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor-these form a series of events that change the orphan Pip's life forever, as he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman. Dickens's haunting novel depicts Pip's education and development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his great expectations. Published nine years before Dickens's death, it remains one of his most celebrated works.

Q: kineticjs, should stage.setWidth(), stage.setHeight() and stage.draw(); resize everything? Im trying to resize everything on window resize.
I have this function but only seems to resize one layer ( graphLayer.add(drawGraph);)
I thought the code below should resize everything??
function onResize(){
        var widowWidth = (window.innerWidth) -yPadding; // width - the padding
        var widowHeight = (window.innerHeight) -xPadding;  // Height - the padding
        stage.setWidth((window.innerWidth) -yPadding);
        stage.setHeight((window.innerHeight) -xPadding);
        stage.draw();
    }

here is a the basics of my code
$(window).resize(onResize);
    var graph;
    var graphLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var BubbleLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var tooltipLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var widowWidth = (window.innerWidth) -yPadding; // width - the padding
    var widowHeight = (window.innerHeight) -xPadding;  // Height - the padding

    var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
      container: 'graph',
      width: widowWidth,  // width - the padding
      height: widowHeight,  // Height - the padding
    });

    var tooltip = new Kinetic.Label({
      opacity: 0.75,
      visible: false,
      listening: false
    });

    tooltip.add(new Kinetic.Tag({
      .........
    }));

    tooltip.add(new Kinetic.Text({
      .........
    }));

    var drawGraph = new Kinetic.Shape ({
      sceneFunc: function(ctx){
          .........
        }
        ctx.fillStrokeShape(this);
      },
      stroke: 'black',
      strokeWidth: 1
    });

    var drawGraphquarter = new Kinetic.Shape ({
      sceneFunc: function(ctx){
        .........
        }
      },
      stroke: 'red',
      strokeWidth: 3
    });

    // build data

    $.getJSON( "bubble_data.json", function( data ) {

        $.each( data.projects, function(i) {
            var bubbleData = [];

            .........

            bubbleData.push({
              .........
            });

            .........

            for(var n = 0; n < bubbleData.length; n++) {
              addBubble(bubbleData[n], BubbleLayer);
              stage.add(BubbleLayer);
            }

        });

        graphLayer.add(drawGraph);
        graphLayer.add(drawGraphquarter);
        stage.add(BubbleLayer);
        stage.add(graphLayer);
        graphLayer.moveToBottom();
        tooltipLayer.add(tooltip);
        stage.add(tooltipLayer);
        });
    });

    // add bubles to layer
    function addBubble(obj, BubbleLayer) {
      var bubble = new Kinetic.Shape({
        sceneFunc: function(ctx) {
          .........
      });
      BubbleLayer.add(bubble);
    }

    // calendar quarter
    function getQuarter(d) {
      .........
    }

     function onResize(){
        var widowWidth = (window.innerWidth) -yPadding; // width - the padding
        var widowHeight = (window.innerHeight) -xPadding;  // Height - the padding
        stage.setWidth((window.innerWidth) -yPadding);
        stage.setHeight((window.innerHeight) -xPadding);
        stage.draw();
    }

A: Updated my code to this.
var graph;
    var xPadding = 10;
    var yPadding = 10;
    var graphLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var graphLayerQuater = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var BubbleLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var tooltipLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var widowWidth =  (window.innerWidth) -yPadding; // width - the padding
    var widowHeight = (window.innerHeight) -xPadding;  // Height - the padding
    var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
      container: 'graph',
      width: widowWidth,
      height: widowHeight,
    });

    var initialScale = stage.scale(); //returns {x: 1, y: 1}
    var initialWidth = (window.innerWidth) -yPadding; // width - the padding
    var initialHeight = (window.innerHeight) -xPadding;  // Height - the padding

onresize function
window.onresize = function(event) {
      var width = (window.innerWidth) -yPadding;
      var height =(window.innerHeight) -xPadding;
      var xScale =  (width  / initialWidth) * initialScale.x;
      var yScale = (height / initialHeight) * initialScale.y;
      var newScale = {x: xScale, y: yScale};
      stage.setAttr('width', width);
      stage.setAttr('height', height);
      stage.setAttr('scale', newScale );
      stage.draw();
    }

On January 23, the East China Regional Administration of Civil Aviation announced the results of the runway intrusion incident at Pudong Airport, which had attracted much attention before.
According to the Civil Aviation Administrative Punishment Decision No. 3 and No. 4 of the East China Bureau of Civil Aviation in 2019, on November 13, 2018, two air traffic controllers, Jiang Momou and Cui Momou, at Shanghai Pudong Airport, were warned and punished by the East China Bureau of Civil Aviation for failing to find the pilots of JAL 873 repeating the control instructions.

Bocci was founded in 2005 in a rustic barn in Vancouver, Canada. The brand initially launched with an item which was simply called "14," a chandelier that the founder says is a product of his original design and science's way of surprising us with wonderful accidents. This one product instantly became a huge hit, and, to this day, 14 remains a staple in the brand's product catalog. The company has continued in the tradition of naming its products numerically. Their line has grown to include several light fixtures, including furniture and electrical sockets. Naming these by the number according to the company's creative director, Omer Arbel, allows them to track their progress in a chronological order, making it easier for them to critique their work. Today, the company has expanded to include electrical sockets, other lighting installations, and an entire indoor furniture line that continues to grow increasingly popular with every passing year.
At LuxeDecor, we carry the 22 series of Bocci outlets. This collection is monochrome in color, featuring optic white; however, black and almond color options are also available. In this series, your data outlet, plug, switch, USB, cable, or telephone jack can now be seen as a mounted piece instead of a protruding element on drywall. This creates a much cleaner look which allows your eyes to feast only on the decorative elements inside a space. The brand's "Alternate 2-plug 20A Tamper Resistant Outlet Assembly" is perfect for those who want to expose their wall surface, and hide the cover plate. Also available in 15A, the brand creates products that can successfully function in multiple settings. Sometimes, a cover plate can be tacky or stand out excessively. Avoid this problem and give your walls a touch of modern cleanliness with this highly unique product. Bocci lighting outlets also feature telephone and cable receptacles that have the ability to camouflage with your environment and act very subtle. The 22 series operative component removal tool makes it helpful and easy to install and remove your outlets when you are moving or relocating through rooms.
The brand has been a leader in the lighting world for over 10 years. The brand not only specializes in outlets, but also lighting fixtures, furniture, and a few art-deco pieces. Its focus remains aimed towards contemporary styles and interior fashion. As the field of interior design continues to progress and develop, the brand has introduced new styles and types of home accessories that blend with virtually any modern setting. Even the most rustic of homes look ravishing with a slight hint of modernity. The 22 series is ideal for wooden lodges and traditional style homes that lack a clean, neat look. Because the 22 series makes it easy to hide the covering plate of your outlets, any home can appear tidier and more organized.
You can be confident in your product selection when shopping with the brand. LuxeDecor is excited to announce our partnership with such a recognized, prestigious establishment, as we take pride in working with fine brands that place outstanding quality and customer service above all. We guarantee that your outlets from the brand will look incredible in your walls or floors, providing you with the convenience and concise display that your home deserves. Shop Bocci at LuxeDecor!

Google Reader retires on 1 July
Posted by Francois Muscat on Mar 15, 2013 in Google |
On 13 March, Google announced that it will retire Google Reader as of 1 July 2013. The reason for this is simple: "Usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company we are pouring all of our energy into fewer products," said Google.
Google Reader was launched in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favourite websites. The web giant has urged users interested in RSS (which stands for Rich Site Summary) alternatives to export their data (including all their subscription) with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.
"Twitter and social sites have already replaced RSS feeds"
The RSS icon – a distinctive orange button – has become a familiar fixture on websites, blogs and especially news sites. Even though there are still many users, social networks and content aggregator systems like Twitter and Flipboard have already started to replace the traditional RSS subscription.
"The writing has been on the wall for RSS clients in general as Twitter and other social networks have grown better at delivering the news," says Gizmodo.
Tech website The Verge agreed and also speculated that Google Reader's retirement could mean the end of RSS protocol.
"The death of Google Reader could spell doom for the RSS protocol itself, which has seen waning popularity since the rise of social sharing services," comments The Verge.
Protests and petitions
The announcement has sparked a number of online protest sites and petitions. Since Wednesday, an online petition has already reeled in 75,000 signatures. The user who started the petition, Daniel Lewis, said he started the petition because he still uses Google Reader several times a week.
"This isn't just about our data in Reader. This is about us using your product because we love it, because it makes our lives better, and because we trust you not to nuke it," writes Lewis on the petition site Change.org.
While users like Lewis are upset, there are a few people who are taking a more light-hearted approach. Check out this funny video that was posted on YouTube about Hitler's reaction to Google Reader shutting down.

Health Care Reform and Massage Therapy?
I received an email from President Obama today. Actually I am one of probably a few million fellow citizens who got his email today regarding the Health Care Reform issue that our government is wrestling over.
In it, he encouraged me to stay informed and make my voice heard, so that together, our society can come up with desirable and effective strategies to make health care work better for everyone. To me, a health care system that works better is not only one that is more affordable and accessible to everyone, but also one that offers a: treatment options that people want, and b: wellness program options that help people avoid preventable diseases and illnesses that cost more down the road to treat and cure.
As someone who has been in the Holistic Health Care field for the past 8 years (focusing on therapeutic massage), I have seen how effective "alternative" treatments like massage therapy can be in treating a wide variety of health conditions, as well as preventing illnesses by strengthening immune systems and relieving stress that can lead to many common health problems.
The good news is that therapeutic massage is recognized by many insurers as a valid medical procedure that is eligible for reimbursement. In fact, Body Well is now able to accept many PPO health insurance plans for in home massage therapy (click here for a free benefits analysis of your own policy).
However, the insurance companies don't make it easy, and many policies do not provide benefits at all. Perhaps most sadly, Medicare does not cover any in home therapeutic massage, and it is the elderly, who can benefit so much from massage therapy, who are the most likely to have mobility problems and difficulty getting to a facility to receive these effective treatments.
If you are like me and you would like to see our nation become smarter about health care, and encourage insurance companies to cover cost-effective therapies like massage, please make your voice heard as well! Use the contacts and links at left and let the government know that it's time to move forward in our thinking, and to make massage therapy a universally recognized therapeutic treatment that should be covered by any smart insurance policy. In doing so you will be doing your small part in fostering a healthier America and a more progressive view of modern health care.

a glance at its architectural heritage
balkrishna doshi: remembering the indian dreamer
For the past seven years, Pritzker Laureate 2018 Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi (1927 – 2023) created a body of work that is highly praised for its poetry, its motives and its deep appreciation of the context of the subject. From affordable social housing to public space, Doshi's works have such an impact on India's native architecture and environment as they are teaching early about it By Corbusier and Louis Kahn — mentors he describes as his gurus and yogis, respectively. In 2022, he was formally awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal for Architecture in recognition of his outstanding contribution to architecture.
Doshi was born in 1927 in Pune, India. Growing up, he was close to following in his family's footsteps as furniture makers, but eventually his interest in architecture became a passion. In 1947, he graduated from the JJ School of Architecture in Bombay and went on to work with By Corbusier for four years as senior designer in Paris (1951-54), and another four years in India to supervise projects in Ahmedabad. He then worked with Louis Kahn as an associate in building the Indian Institute of Management in that same city, and they continued to collaborate for more than ten years.
Doshi eventually established his own practice, Vastushilpa, in 1956, together with two architects. Now known as Vastushilpa Consultants, the multidisciplinary practice has grown to five partners over three generations, and sixty employees, with a portfolio of over 100 completed projects — each of which has made a significant impact on India's architectural landscape and the surrounding regions. In the 1960s, Doshi settled with his wife Kamala in Ahmedabad, where he built their house in 1963 and later his studio, Sangath, in 1981.

plowing into the architect's twenty-seven-year career
Beyond this early Western influence, Doshi developed a design philosophy that blended industrialism and primitivism, as well as modern architecture and traditional form. His practice integrates environmentally sustainable and climate-conscious ideals and architecture roots within the larger context of the surrounding culture, and its social, ethical and religious beliefs. A very humane attitude also complements his very sensitive approach. Indeed, Doshi sees architecture as an extension of the body, embedded in its own essence. 'This is my philosophy then, asking the question, What is the essence of architecture? A building is a living organism. A building is alive. It is not a product, it is a process in which things happen. It is a reflection of life and architecture is a background to life,' the architect shared with RIBA President Simon Allford.

In addition to being an active architect and urban planner, Doshi was a respected educator who taught his department at universities and through his Vastushilpa Foundation, dedicated to improving indigenous design and planning in India. Reflecting his passion for education, Doshi founded and established School of Architecture in Ahmedabad in 1966. Featuring a dramatic brick and concrete shell, the structure shows strong influences from Le Corbusier's 20th century modernist features. Complementing its Western inspiration is a careful consideration of the Indian climate through slanted skylights, sliding doors and sunken plazas with tree silhouettes. The school complex was later expanded to accommodate the School of Planning (1970), the Visual Arts Center (1978), and the School of Interior Design (1982); it was renamed as CEPT University in 2002.
In 1992, Doshi furthered his passion for education by completing the Indian Institute of Management (1977 – 1992), a business school brought to life through interconnected courtyards, high corridors and a series of shrines and temples to provide breaks for personal and social activities. 'The varied landscapes in the courtyards and pergolas, with their changing color and light, give a sense of time. Likewise, the outer stone walls are covered with creepers,' he notes the practice of the architect.

Another notable project of his is Aranya Low Cost Housing (1989), designed as a minimalist township for the economically weaker sections (EWS) in Indore. The master plan reveals clusters of 10 EWS households clustered around a central courtyard; Each unit is allocated a 30 square meter plot with a brick plinth, built-in toilet, water and electricity. 'With the possibility of further growth as new options, these typologies found ways to improve the quality of life for each respective family. In thirty years, the fully developed township harmonizes the virtues of choice, freedom and social unity. As imagined, the EWS groups emulate maximizing multiple uses of space with little effort,' writes Studio Sangath.
In the same spirit, Doshi completed the Life Insurance Corporation Housing (1973) in Ahmedabad. He was described as 'an experiment to combine three income groups on three floors of a pyramid-shaped housing block accessed by a common staircase.'
A few years later, Doshi entered the world of arts with Amdavad Ni Gufa gallery in Ahmedabad (1994). Designed as an underground space, the center takes on an eerie quality, with warped columns resembling geological formations, and walls covered with works of art noting with the imprints of early civilizations. Here, visitors get to enjoy a cool climate while learning about each featured artist.

Other popular works include the Shreyas Comprehensive School Campus (1958-63), Ahmedabad, India; the Institute of Indology (1962), Ahmedabad, building containing rare documents; Tagore Hall & Memorial Theatre (1967), a brutal 700-seat auditorium in Ahmedabad; Premabhai Hall (1976), Ahmedabad, India; Sangath (1981), the studio for his architectural practice, Vastu Shilpa; Ompuri Temple (1998), Matar, sport-like shape; the Science Center and Environment (2005), New Delhi; the Flame University (2007), Pune, is imagined as a bazaar-like complex.
