ADL Letter to Congressional Leaders…
ADL Letter to Congressional Leaders Regarding the Politicization of Anti-Semitism
In a letter to Congressional leaders, ADL called for both sides to work together to stop the growing partisan weaponization of anti-Semitism, and instead work together to combat the scourge.
The Honorable Chuck Schumer
The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
United States House of Representatives
The Honorable Kevin McCarthy
Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy:
Over the past several weeks, the Congress has expressed that it does not countenance anti-Semitism in any way. For that, I thank you.
However, I am writing because I am concerned that the fight against anti-Semitism is becoming politicized. As the leaders of Congress, I urge you to work together to stop the growing partisan weaponization of anti-Semitism, and instead work together to combat this scourge.
Indeed, attempts to use anti-Semitism for political gain, both within and between our political parties, risk undermining efforts to join together to combat anti-Semitic incidents and violence and other forms of hate. The use of anti-Semitism to embarrass political opponents allows anti-Semites to hide behind politics. It causes something that must remain apolitical – the fight against hate, especially anti-Semitism – to become hyper-political. The leadership of both parties, supported by strong coalitions representing different communities, must work to call out and oppose such cynical ploys.
ADL has been working with the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism for several years and sees it as a model of how to come together to address anti-Semitism. Republicans and Democrats have chosen to use this vehicle to look for common ground in fighting this scourge. We strongly urge members of both parties in the House and the Senate to look for ways to come together, rather than work at cross purposes, in what is a real fight against a real threat targeting Americans across the political spectrum. At ADL, we can offer training, materials, and other resources to help members and their staff understand modern anti-Semitism and how to combat it.
We know the cost of unbridled hatred in our society – Christchurch, Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, and Charleston are just recent examples of the direct line between hate and violence. As a society, and as a country, we cannot allow anti-Semitism to be used to drive a wedge between the Jewish community and other Americans, or to divide the Jewish community itself.
ADL therefore calls on you to use your positions of leadership to call out and reject any efforts to politicize the fight against anti-Semitism and unite in a bipartisan way to combat anti-Semitism.

On show till July 10th, the "5 Stars: Art Reflects on Peace, Justice, Equality, Democracy and Progress" exhibition at Singapore Art Museum salutes the Singapore Golden Jubilee, its 50th year of independence, and the five stars on the Singapore flag, which represent universal humanist values.
In inviting and commissioning five art luminaries of the nation – Ho Tzu Nyen, Matthew Ngui, T.K. Sabapathy, Suzann Victor, and Zulkifle Mahmod – to ponder and respond to each of the values, SAM gives scope to these extraordinary Singaporeans, whose life-long commitment to art as a discipline is inimitable and exemplary.
Through the creative and curatorial process, these abstract, intangible concepts are made manifest, and each unique artistic expression and presentation offers nuanced and layered interpretations of the nation's core values, which resonate with Singapore's multifaceted, complex identity. New 'thought-spaces' unfold: from one island nation's conscious reflections on its ideals, we recognize the humanist foundations of today's world.
The 5 Stars exhibition is curated to encourage diverse individuals and audiences to come together to contemplate what these shared human ideals mean in the present day, and how they might continue to help us envision our futures.

SAN FRANCISCO—Construction on the for-lease multi-family high-rise began in April 2014 and is on schedule to be completed in July 2016.
SAN FRANCISCO—A topping-out ceremony for 340 Fremont, the 40-story residential community in SoMa was held recently ahead of schedule, according to Jim Kelly, first vice president of development for Equity Residential. Construction on the for-lease multifamily high-rise began in April 2014 and is on schedule to be completed in July 2016. There will be 348 units in the building when completed.
Here's a look at the trends, announcements and deals you may have missed in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and Arkansas.


I'm going to start out by saying that broadly speaking I enjoyed it and in terms of studio blockbusters this still feels a cut above the norm, however there's no escaping the fact that this is by far the most problematic of Jackson's forays into Middle Earth, making significant changes to the structure of the book and potentially painting themselves into some difficult corners come the third film. Having sat and re-watched An Unexpected Journey over the Christmas break, this feels like it belongs in a different film series altogether, the change in tone is so noticeable.
gravity; noun. 1 Physics the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass. the degree of intensity of gravity, measured by acceleration 2. extreme importance; seriousness: crimes of the utmost gravity 3. solemnity of manner: has the poet ever spoken with greater eloquence or gravity?
Alfonso Caurón's Gravity arrives on a wave of hype and critical applause that for once justifies the end result – Gravity is a genuine masterpiece, not in the urgent, timely manner that many modern ones take but in its commitment to the bolting the old fashioned principles to cutting edge technique. What's more surprising it this is the first film where the 3D is not an additional tool in the filmmaker's toolbox but an integral part of the narrative, not enhancing the story but telling it. The 3D does not add to the viewing experience, the 3D is an essential part of the viewing experience. Gravity is a genuine game changer, visually astonishing, thematically relevant, a rare film led by a woman with mass appeal, a film by adults and for adults. That last fact alone means it is worthy of your time, but it's genuinely more than that.
Thor's back, but he's pissed because someone's forgotten the plot.
Okay that isn't completely fair, but Thor: The Dark World (henceforth T:TDW) spends much of its slim running time getting by on the Hiddleston factor, using a hugely charismatic actor to do the emotional heavy lifting when there isn't much else to do. The film noticeably improves whenever he's on the screen, and the director realises that he's both the star and the villain everyone wants to see, effectively reducing Christopher Ecclestone (clearly in "Cheque Please!" mode or being given very short shrift by the director) to a series of walk on cameos as he tries to progress the meagre plot.
(This in no way constitutes a return to normal service – I saw this nearly a month ago now and have only just gotten around to writing about it…).
Somewhere along the line, Ron Howard seems to have developed a career in telling stories where we already know the ending (but making us not care that we do). Here he adds a further complication to the equation by choosing a subject that a good chunk of the population finds as dull a dishwater – Formula One – and two protagonists that do nothing to elicit audience sympathy. Despite all of this film is a minor triumph, unlikely to worry anything outside of the technical categories (more of which later) but decent enough to be respected.
The final part of the supposed "Cornetto Trilogy" finishes off what the earlier two films managed to do, and hopefully shows that Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World was just a blip on the landscape in terms of Edgar Wrights direction (it remains one of the most disappointing films of the last few years). Once again its success is down to a mixture of script, cast and direction rather than a single factor, and its rare to see a film as well constructed as this (and so well constructed that it doesn't feel constructed – a rare feat).
Normally my tolerance for big, stupid, virtually plot-less movies is somewhat limited. Whilst they can be enjoyable, ultimately they're not really satisfying because they lack all of the things that I've begun to expect as I get older and grumpier. By normal standards then Pacific Rim would be off to a bad start – big, stupid and virtually plot-less just about covers all of the essentials in this film, but somehow it's all done with enough style & wit to make you forget about the fact that you can feel your brain dribbling out of your ear.
It also helps that it's one of the prettiest movies for a long time.

Q: Depth First Search Python Game Solver I have a basic maze game in python "*" are walls, "W" water buckets which allow you to travel through fire "F" (if you have none you lose), "A" is the player and " " is air and "X" and "Y" are start and endpoints. There are also numbers from 1 - 9 which have 1 other matching number so the player can teleport. Example map:
*X**********
*   1 W   F*
* FFFF  1  *
**********Y*

So I have a graph (dictionary) where I go through each character in the maze and find their neighbours like {"0,0": [None, "0,1", None, "0,1"]}
{"node": "LeftNeighbour", "RightNeighbour", "NeighbourAbove", "NeighbourBelow"}

and I am using coordinates "x,y" to denote neighbours.
Then the DFS code is ...
visited = []
def DFS_recursive(graph, node, nodeToFind):
    global visited
    for neighbour in graph[node]:
        if neighbour == nodeToFind:
            visited.append(neighbour)
            break
        if neighbour not in visited and neighbour != None:

            # get x and y by breaking up the string
            x = ""
            y = ""
            yFlag = False
            for char in neighbour:
                if char == ",":
                    yFlag = True
                elif yFlag == False:
                    x += str(char)
                else:
                    y += str(char)
            x, y = int(x), int(y)

            if grid[y][x].display == "*": # if the neighbour's display property is a wall, append the neighbour but don't call the function again ...
                visited.append(neighbour)
            else:
                visited.append(neighbour)
                DFS_recursive(graph, neighbour, nodeToFind)

So this works until I add teleport pad code.
if neighbour == (number from 1 - 9):
     find the coordinates of the other teleport pad and make the coordinates the new node
     DFS_recursive(graph, newNode, nodeToFind)

And yes I haven't added in the "nodeToFind" bit yet, couldn't quite get that to work so I added a separate function to deal with that. Probably should remove the parameter but anyway that's not the point.
So 1. Not sure if this is the right way to go about it (am new to programming)
and 2. No idea how to handle the teleport pads.
Thanks in advance!

Winnipeggers participate in India fundraising competition
By MYRON LOVE It was a moment of pure terror for Winnipeggers Adam Sawyer, Jenna Brown and Jenna's father, Bobby. There they were, driving down on a two-lane highway in a tuktuk – a motorized three-wheeled rickshaw – when a huge oil tanker approached them in the opposite lane – and another huge oil tanker came out from behind the first one, attempting to pass, and was barrelling right toward the three Winnipeggers.
Fortunately, they had just enough room on the side of the narrow road to get out of the way in time.
The Browns, father and daughter, and Sawyer were participating in the annual Mallaber Rampage, a competition in which foreign tourists have to drive 1100 kilometers in seven days in motorized rickshaws with Goa, the former Portuguese enclave on the coast in west central India as their destination.
The purpose of the Mallabar Rampage is twofold, Bobby Brown explains. One goal is to encourage tourism in southern India, a part of India that attracts very few tourists. The other purpose is to raise money primarily for the Mangalore Round Table, which helps support local causes in the region.
Participants can help support other charities as well. Jenna Brown notes that one team was raising money for cancer research while a second group was collecting funds to help succor abused women in India.
It was Jenna Brown who first learned about the Mallabar Rampage challenge. Two years ago, Jenna , having completed university, headed off to Australia to teach special needs children. She left Australia at the beginning of the year to travel in Asia.
"I found out about the rickshaw challenge," she says, "and contacted my dad to see if he wanted to join me in this adventure."
Bobby Brown, who had last been in India 35 years before, readily agreed - as did Adam Sawyer, a friend of Jenna's from Winnipeg who was also traveling in Asia.
There were 17 teams in the competition. The Winnipeggers dubbed their vehicle the "Polar Bears" and decorated it with an image of a polar bear and a Canadian flag.
"We were given two days training and sent on our way (on April 4)," Jenna reports.
"It was mentally and physically challenging," says Adam Sawyer. "We were riding in a glorified lawnmower. I was terrified the entire time. It was the scariest thing I have ever done in my life – and the most rewarding."
In India, Jenna Brown points out, there are no rules of the road – and no lanes. "We were sharing the narrow roads with cars and trucks, bicycles and cows and oxen."
Bobby Brown comments on the constant honking: "The horns spoke their own language," he says. "A car honking from behind would be trying to pass while other honkers were trying to cut into traffic. The buses were the worst for honking."
Jenna Brown notes that there were people everywhere along the roads living and working.
The Winnipeggers did find the local people to be very friendly and helpful. "Any time we had a problem (such as a flat tire and getting lost), up to a dozen men would rush over to help us," Jenna says. "We didn't see many women out and about though."
Now the competition wasn't simply a matter of seeing who could reach Goa the fastest. There were also such things as finding an India temple or visiting a school for underprivileged kids (where Sawyer put on a show with his ukulele), or finding a synagogue.
"We didn't know there were any Jewish people in India," Adam Sawyer says. "It was interesting going into Jewtown and seeing Hebrew writing."
The money that the Winnipeggers raised helped the Mangalore Round Table buy a dialysis unit for a government hospital for the poor, Sawyer reports.
While Sawyer is looking for a job back in Winnipeg and not sure what he wants to do in the future, his experience in India, he says, has shown him the importance of giving back to the community.
Jenna Brown is considering enrolling in the fall in a Masters program at the University of Toronto.
Bobby Brown is looking forward to returning to India next year with his wife, Debbie, for a third visit.

A survival guide for the fintech era of banking.
"FinTech Innovation: From Robo-Advisors to Goal Based Investing and Gamification" examines the rise of financial technology and its growing impact on the global banking industry. Wealth managers are standing at the epicenter of a tectonic shift, as the balance of power between offering and demand undergoes a dramatic upheaval. Regulators are pushing toward a "constrained offering" norm while private clients and independent advisors demand a more proactive role; practitioners need examine this banking evolution in detail to understand the mechanisms at work.
This book presents analysis of the current shift and offers clear insight into what happens when established economic interests collide with social transformation. Business models are changing in profound ways, and the impact reaches further than many expect; the democratisation of banking is revolutionising the wealth management industry toward more efficient and client-centric advisory processes, and keeping pace with these changes has become a survival skill for financial advisors around the world.
Information asymmetry has dominated the banking industry for centuries, keeping the bank/investor liability neatly aligned – but this is changing, and understanding and preparing for the repercussions must be a top priority for wealth managers everywhere. Financial Innovation shows you where the bar is being reset and gives you the insight you need to keep up.

By ThePlanetMark Thursday, February 6, 2014
At K&N's networking group for women in design, property and facilities management, Kath Cockshaw, the Enterprise Director here at Planet First described the difficulties of using the word 'sustainability', how leadership is not currently working to combat climate change and how each of us has an individual responsibility to act now.
Kath hit home issues to really inspire the audience into action rather than lifelessly listening. Asking them to consider the huge social and economic fall-out that will occur due to environmental change, she made it clear that whilst the situation may be unthinkable, it is not fantasy.
Using her background in art as an influence and means of expression, Kath asked the audience to realise the need for better, more imaginative and personal communications around sustainability as well as the need to change dominant perceptions and attitudes about climate change.
'A better relationship between man and nature is the keystone to environmental and economic recovery. The subject is far from 'dry''
Where so many people fail to inspire action by talking so generally about ice caps and polar bears, doom and gloom, Kath presented hard facts and showed the audience how the responsibility falls on the shoulders of each and every one of us.
WE CAN USE OUR OWN INITIATIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY;
Thinking about nature and about actively caring about nature every day, think about what you are buying, about packaging, recycling, your energy, waste, water use, and chemicals you pour down the sink.
Talking about environmental issues to your colleagues, your friends and even your mum.
Thinking about how your company can spread the word that it, and the people in it are taking better care of the planet.
Join 2 degrees, the sustainable business network, and read up about what other companies are doing to meet some of the challenges they face.
Use your skills, your position, both your personal and business social media accounts, and talk to your CEO, your marketing department and the communications agency you use.
Even changing your communications agency to one that 'gets it', because at the moment the thought leadership still sits with you, their client.
Kath concluded the evening with a message to make people sit up in their seats and get ready to spring into action:
'We will only make a difference when we stop talking and start doing. '

Actemra a breakthrough for systemic sclerosis, says FDA
Roche's rheumatoid arthritis (RA) drug Actemra/RoActemra could be an important therapy for the life-threatening autoimmune disease systemic sclerosis (SSc), according to the US FDA.
The US regulator has just awarded breakthrough status to Actemra (tocilizumab) for SSc, also known as systemic scleroderma, which is characterised by skin thickening and, in severe cases, damage to the circulatory system and organs.
SSc has the highest mortality rate of any rheumatic disease, according to Roche, which notes that there are no approved disease-modifying drugs for the condition. Patients are typically managed with drugs to treat symptoms, including emollients for itchy and flaky skin, ACE inhibitors for those with kidney complications and calcium antagonists in cases where the disease affects the lungs.
Roche has started preparing for a placebo-controlled phase III trial of Actemra in patients with SSc. Recruitment is due to get underway in September, with an enrolment target of 210 subjects, and the trial is due to complete in 2019.
The news comes just as the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) annual conference gets underway in Rome, at which Roche will present new data from a phase II study of Actemra in SSc called faSScinate.
The results – due for presentation tomorrow – will show that, while the primary outcome objective in the trial was not reached, there was a positive trend towards efficacy in terms of skin thickening that warrants further study, according to Roche. The 48-week trial is using the Rodnan skin score as a primary endpoint.
Actemra was first launched a decade ago for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and has been a big success for the Swiss pharma major. An extension of its approved indications to include early RA in the EU last year and approval of a subcutaneous formulation to replace the older infusion helped the drug grow 23 per cent to 1.22 billion Swiss francs, making it one of the fastest growing drugs in Roche's portfolio.
Roche is also developing its Esbriet (pirfenidone) product as a treatment for interstitial lung disease in patients with SSc, with a phase II trial ongoing. Esbriet is already approved to treat the deadly lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The incidence of SSc is difficult to measure, but it is estimated to affect approximately 2.5 million people worldwide, the company states.
Meanwhile, Roche will also present new data at EULAR 2015 on Actemra in early-stage RA showing almost double sustained remission rates in recently-diagnosed patients, as well as results showing sustained efficacy in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis after five years' treatment with the drug.
Roche tipped to lead Boehringer in IPF head-to-head

A Famous Prophet of Science Looks Into the Future
by Alden P. Armagnac
Popular Science Monthly
Page number(s):
16, 17, 170 & 171
Peering into the future is, for most of us, mighty chancy business. For Nikola Tesla, world-famous electrical wizard and inventor extraordinary, it is second nature.
He is an enigma, this man Tesla. His astonishing discoveries and his prophetic visions have established him in the popular mind as a genius and as fantastic dreamer. Turned into practical form in his induction motor, high voltage transformer, and system of alternating current transmission, his fancies have brought him fame, fortune, and a place among the immortals.
Dreamer, prophet, and practical inventor, Nikola Tesla hold a high place among the world's creative geniuses. At the age of seventy-one, he still labors in the laboratory to turn his visions into useful forms.
At times they have subjected him to ridicule. In the dozen years since a catastrophe halted his last great project — to supply the world with power by wireless — he has spoken only rarely of his projects. But at last he has broken his silence for the readers of Popular Science Monthly.
Within three years, he told me, his "World-system" for transmission of wireless power through the earth should be in commercial operation. Other wonders, too, he described — a "flivver airplane," his latest invention; and a powerful new turbine motor which, he said, has but one twentieth the weight of an engine as now designed. It was a staggering word picture of the future that Tesla gave me.
Crackling artificial lightning of millions of volts produced by Tesla at Colorado Springs in 1899. The noise of it was heard thirteen miles away.
But thirty-fine years ago people decried as impossible Tesla's prophecy before scientific societies that ships in distress at sea would call for help by wireless apparatus. It was characterized as "inventive lunacy." Many of these unbelievers lived to see wireless summon rescuers to lost explorers stranded on an Arctic ice cake.
Thirty years ago people thought Tesla was indulging in a wild fancy when he built a model for a crewless vessel. Yet today the British Navy is experimenting with H.M.S. Centurion, a full-size warship without a crew, controlled entirely by wireless. Germany is doing the same with the former battleship Zachringen.
Twenty years ago, when Tesla designed an automobile to be propelled on water, land, or through the air by explosive jets from rockets, men who otherwise respected his genius thought he had gone crazy. Today, in Germany, rocket cars have sped 156 miles an hour in trials; and the principle is to be applied to air machines.
Realizing Tesla's dream — our artist's conception of the crewless warship in action, based on the actual test of the British warship Centurion. On the stern is the wireless control receiving apparatus.
So this man, past three score and ten, commands attention as a scientific forecaster; for, he says, his predictions are simply the logical conclusions from facts already known or ascertainable. A world enjoying the fruits of his basic researches in power transmission, propulsion, wireless, and other fields is compelled to give heed as he predicts greater wonders to come. Here are some that he sees:
Houses will be lighted and powered by wireless, as will be airplanes and other vehicles on land and sea. You will be able to go anywhere, desert or mountain-top, valley or farm, and set up a compact equipment, small enough to be carried in a suitcase, that will give you heat to cook with and light to read by. Flivver airplanes will buzz directly upward and dart across country at many miles a minute. Jet-driven airships will cross oceans, but Tesla draws the line at moon rockets.
To talk with Dr. Tesla is to become acquainted with an extraordinary life packed with adventure into uncharted realms of knowledge. Ever since his boyhood, in the village of Smiljan, Jugo-Slavia, his mind has been hunting in unexplored places. As a student at Gratz, Austria, he astounded professors by his prodigious mental feats. Once he won a wager with a fellow-student by reciting an entire volume from memory!
Tesla's model for the crewless vessel, built thirty years ago. It was called a "wild fancy."
One day the students received from Paris a Gramme motor, an early type that sparked badly. Tesla suggested that a motor might be produced without the brushes that transmit electricity to the spinning rotor, thus eliminating the trouble. It couldn't be done, his professor of physics told him. His classmates jeered.
Less than five years later, Tesla invented just such a machine, the "induction motor" which brought him fame. Without brushes, it operates on the principle of the "rotating magnetic field" — a sort of magnetic cyclone, discovered by Tesla, that grips the armature and whirls it.
After this discovery, described by such a hard-headed engineer as H. W. Buck, president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, as "one of the greatest feats ever performed by human mind," Tesla came to America. He invented the "Tesla coil" or "Tesla oscillation transformer." Today every wireless transmitter and receiver embodies this great principle, which has also been put to innumerable other uses in science and industry.
With it, he turned ordinary electricity into crackling lightning of millions of volts. Noises of thunderous discharges smote the ears of visitors to his Colorado Springs, Colo., wireless plant erected early in 1899; they could even be heard in Cripple Creek, Colo., thirteen miles away!
It was there that Dr. Tesla carried out his scheme of sending power by wireless through the earth. No "wireless" such as we know today as radio, was this. He transmitted, not radio waves through the air, mostly wasted, but electric currents through the ground. By this method, he told me, he transmitted enough power around the earth to light several hundred incandescent lamps, and proved that power in industrial amounts could be transmitted to any distance with an efficiency as high as ninety-nine and a half percent.
The 200-foot "Tesla's tower" at Shoreham, Long Island, destroyed by dynamite blast in 1914. Its purpose, Tesla explains, was to feed tremendous electric currents into the earth for transmission.
As a result of these experiments, residents of Shoreham, L.I., New York, were mystified in 1902 by a massive tower of steel rising nearly 200 feet in an open field. "Tesla's tower," they called it; for rumor had it that from it Tesla would hurl thunderbolts into the earth.
In reality the tower was Dr. Tesla's "Magnifying Transmitter," intended to feed electric power into the earth. At its top, a globular dome was to store momentarily, before hurling into the earth, tremendous currents produced by a "Tesla oscillation transformer" in the tower's center. Nearly completed was the odd structure, when a dynamite blast of unknown origin turned it into a twisted mass of ruins.
Today he is ready to build a new and larger plant. And he is confident that by 1931 it will be in commercial operation. This plant was also to broadcast speech, and pictures by a system of daylight television without moving devices outlined by him in 1893.
The original Tesla coil or "oscillation transformer," whose principle is embodied today in every wireless transmitting and receiving set.
"Contrary to popular opinion, which has identified my 'Magnifying Transmitter' with thunder and lightning," Dr. Tesla said, "it operates in silence. There is no halo of escaping electric flames, or other visible evidence of activity — except that a person within a hundred feet of the tower will notice small sparks, prickling of the skin, and bristling of the hair."
A fantastic dream? Perhaps — but Tesla has dreamed such dreams before and seen them come true.
Besides his world power scheme, Dr. Tesla says he is devoting his time chiefly to his vertically rising flying machine. This aerial flivver is to weigh less than 200 pounds, and to occupy no more space than a seven-foot cube. It is to rise to a great height at a rate of from one to two miles a minute, and may attain a horizontal speed as high as 400 miles an hour, power being supplied by an exceedingly light oil-burning motor, a modification of a steam turbine Tesla invented. An all-metal framework and the absence of gasoline guard against fire hazard. Additional safety is to be attained by a parachute of new construction.
Unlike inventors who work with the tedious process of trial and error, Tesla visualizes his inventions, full-fledged, even to the smallest detail. One evening he was walking with a friend through the City Park of Budapest, quoting from a book of poems he had learned by heart. In the middle of a line he broke off, seized a small stick, and scratched a rough picture on the sand. It was his induction motor, revealed to him in its entirety! And the plan he drew was the same that, seven years later, he presented to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.
Equally spectacular was his demonstration of a wireless lamp, at his Grand Street laboratory in New York City. At three o'clock one morning, when he and his workmen were ready to quit for the night, Tesla decided that a certain high-frequency generator he had been constructing was ready for the test of a new lamp that would light without wires. He sent his workmen outside while he made ready the apparatus. All that remained was to close a switch.
When the workmen returned, Tesla strode to the middle of the laboratory. In each hand he held a long glass tube, exhausted of air. "If my theory is correct," he told his assistants, "when the switch is thrown in, these tubes will become swords of fire. Darken the room and close the switch."
The lights went out, and there was a faint click. Instantly the tubes became fiery blades in the darkness! His men stared, open-mouthed. The half believed him a magician.
In his Houston Street laboratory in New York, he exhibited a two-hundred-horsepower "Tesla Coil" carrying currents oscillating eighty million times a second. When Tesla placed a disk of lead on a stick and swung it over this coil, the lead exploded with a report like that of a canon. Visitors to the laboratory, carrying keys and other conducting objects in their pockets, would cry out in pain as the metal became burning hot. But so confident was Tesla that the terrific electric force of this coil would not harm a human being, that one day he terrified spectators by placing his own head repeatedly inside it! He is alive, thanks to the correctness of his theory; but he tells me now that the mere recollection of his folly still sends a shiver down his spine.
The induction motor, one of Tesla's greatest discoveries.
Tesla's inventions cover many fields, including even an automobile speedometer based on a unique principle, in use today on high-priced cars, and a new pocket-size revolution counter soon to be seen. He even delved into the super-speed "sound" vibrations, recently produced in the laboratory of Alfred L. Loomis, at Tuxedo Park, N. Y., which kill small animals. He once built an apparatus, intended to sterilize water, which produced vibrations powerful enough to paralyze the hand, plunged in a tank of liquid.
At the time I talked to Dr. Tesla the newspapers were discussing the possibility of the flight of a rocket to the moon.
"No rocket," he insisted, "will reach the moon save by a miraculous discovery of an explosive far more energetic than any known. And even if the requisite fuel were produced, it would still have to be shown that the rocket machine would operate at four hundred and fifty-nine degrees below zero — the temperature of interplanetary space.
"The mean distance of the moon," he explained, "is 238,862 miles, and its mass 1/81.8 that of the earth's. Travel 215,085 miles away from the earth, and the gravitational attraction of earth and moon will be equal."
"To project a missile as far as that point will mean starting at an initial velocity of 6.8815 miles a second — not making additional allowance for the atmosphere's retarding action. And irrespective of this speed, which might be less in a rocket than a projectile from a gun, the actual work performed in lifting each pound of weight skyward would be 20,499,712 footpounds of energy, requiring 26,346 B. t. u., or heat units, produced by the burning of the fuel. Even if the rocket weighed only a pound for every pound of fuel it carried, just twice this amount, or 52,692 B. t. u., must be developed for every pound of fuel.
"Now when you consider that the thermal efficiency could hardly exceed forty percent, and the mean propulsive efficiency fifty percent, 263,460 B. t. u. must be evolved by every pound of fuel —an enormous quantity of energy, about sixty times greater than that of dynamite! Although diminishing fuel weight and weakening gravity would make the rocket's path easier as it progressed, it is evident that no known fuel could drive it clear to the moon."
This discussion of tremendous power suggested the possibility of harnessing atomic energy.
"The scheme is worse than that of a perpetual motion machine — for the latter will almost work!" he exclaimed. "A motor driven by atomic power is unrational because it would take far more energy to break up an atom's structure than can be recovered in more useful work."
On the whole subject of matter, in fact, Dr. Tesla holds views that are startlingly original. He disagrees with the accepted atomic theory of matter, and does not believe in the existence of an "electron" as pictured by science — or, he maintains, if it can exist at all, it does so only in perfect vacuum.
"To account for its apparently small mass, science conceives the electron as a hollow sphere, a sort of bubble," Tesla says. "Now, a bubble can exist in such a medium as a gas or liquid because its internal pressure is not altered by deformation. But if, as supposed, the internal pressure of an electron is due to the repulsion of electric masses, the slightest conceivable deformation must result in the destruction of the bubble!
"Just to mention another improbability, the force tending to tear an electron apart is, in pounds per square inch, represented by the staggering figure of 256,899 followed by twenty-one zeros — and this is 513,798,000,000,000,000,000 times greater that the tension that tungsten wire can withstand! And yet it does not burst! Not even when it is hurled against an obstacle with a speed hundreds of thousands times greater than that of a bullet!
And — more widely interesting in this day of radio — this strange, many-sided man clings to the opinion he expressed in his scientific investigations published from 1896-1898, that the source of all rays we know is always a stream of tangible particles or "corpuscles," rather than waves or vibrations. Even before the discovery of radium, Tesla expressed his belief that radioactive rays were of this sort, a view ridiculed at that time. When radium was discovered it was found actually to emit particles of matter — flying nuclei of helium atoms, called "alpha" rays. Tesla has maintained ever since that radium is not a generator but a transformer of energy, the emanations being caused by cosmic rays of immense power capable of penetrating all obstacles however thick. The existence of this radiation — which, he says, should not be confounded with the comparatively very feeble "cosmic rays" observed more recently — he has proved by mathematical theory agreeing closely with experiment.
These conclusions Tesla has drawn from experiments with a remarkable vacuum tube of his own invention, with a single electrode, operated at millions of volts.
I asked Tesla what part of his life work lay closest to his heart. And the answer surprised me. It was not the world wireless system, nor the airplane. It was not the induction motor, today the basis of industries in which billions of dollars are invested all over the world. Instead, it was the discovery of the principle that preceded the induction motor — the "rotating magnetic field."
"When I made the discovery of the rotating magnetic field," Dr. Tesla said, "I was a very young man. The revelation came after years of concentrated thought and it was my first great thrill.
"It was not only a valuable discovery, capable of extensive practical applications. It was a revelation of new forces and new phenomena unknown to science before.
"No," Dr. Tesla said with some feeling, "I would not give my rotating field discovery for a thousand inventions, however valuable, designed merely as mechanical contraptions to deceive the eye and the ear. A thousand years hence, the telephone and the motion picture camera may be obsolete, but the principle of the rotating magnetic field will remain a vital, living thing for all time to come."

While it might not exactly be considered a science fiction film, Hot Tub Time Machine does involve some time travel. If your looking for a guilty pleasure this weekend, check out the HTTM. It's pretty much what you would expect, it's funny and I loved the concept of re-living the 80's. While seeing the movie, there are a few scenes in the 80's that make me think to myself...."what the hell did people do before cell phones and text messaging". While I wouldn't want to give up my tech gadgets to go back to the 80's it was kind of funny to see it played out thru the characters of the Hot Tub Time Machine.

A third Firefly actor will guest-star on Warehouse 13! This time it's Gina Torres (Zoe)
I'm starting to think the writers and producers of Warehouse 13 have a strong liking for Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity.
In addition to Kaylee (Jewel Staite) and Sean Maher (Simon Tam), Gina Torres (Zoe) will be the third Firefly actor to guest-star on the SyFy channel original show which returns in July.
Read the full press release below:
SYFY LOADS WAREHOUSE 13 WITH EXCITING NEW GUEST STARS The Second Season of the Channel's Most Successful Series Ever Will Feature Firefly Alums Jewel Staite and Sean Maher, Gina Torres as well as Philip Winchester (Crusoe), Paula Garces (Defying Gravity)
New York, NY - March 25, 2010 - Warehouse 13, the most successful series in Syfy history, today announced that Gina Torres will join Firefly alums Jewel Staite and Sean Maher as guest stars during the second season, which kicks off in July. The series is currently in production in Toronto.
Philip Winchester (Crusoe) and Paula Garces (Defying Gravity) will also appear as guest stars this year.
Torres and Garces' roles are both love interests for Pete (Eddie McClintock)
Torres, who portrayed "Zoe Washburne" in Firefly, plays "Kate," an agent from Pete's past.
Garces, who played "Paula Morales" in Defying Gravity and "Officer Tina Hanlon" in The Shield, assumes the recurring role of "Kelly," a sexy, spunky, headstrong veterinarian in the Warehouse town of Univille who catches Pete's eye.
In the episode featuring Philip Winchester ("Jack Chase" in Alice), Pete and Myka discover an object in the Warehouse town of Univille is transmitting increasingly dangerous scenes from old Hollywood movies. Winchester plays 1950s matinee idol "Raymond St. James," the star of these movies, in roles which include a Cowboy, a Marine, a Gladiator and a Mad Scientist.
Warehouse 13 follows two Secret Service agents who find themselves abruptly transferred to a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse's caretaker Artie (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the Warehouse itself.
In its first season, Warehouse 13 became the all-time Syfy leader in total viewers (4.1 million), Adults 25-54 (2.1 million) and Household ratings (2.9), as measured by 7-Day DVR data.
Warehouse 13 is produced for Syfy by Universal Cable Productions. Jack Kenny (The Book of Daniel) returns as showrunner.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog 2 might be a movie! according to Neil Patrick Harris
According to an MTV.com interview with Neil Patrick Harris (aka Dr. Horrible):
"Apparently they're making a 'Dr. Horrible' sequel—a feature film, I hope," laughed Harris. "I hope they cast me in it—we'll see."
"That's their plan," he reiterated when asked whether a feature-film was indeed the preferred format for the sequel. "I don't know of what scale. They're talking all options, because they made the first 'Dr. Horrible' in five days on no budget at all—that was its intention."
A Dr. Horrible movie would be EPIC!
Here's the full interview where you can see the news for yourself!

Tiniest U.S.S. Enterprise EVER! 1-billionth-scale model of the ship
This model of the U.S.S Enterprise is the smallest, ever!
Yes, it's got a couple mis-formed sections, but it's 8.8 microns! Wow!
8.8 microns is the size of a human red blood cell. That's how big, err small, this model is.
From Screenrant:
Back in 2003, Takayuki Hoshino and Shinji Matsui of the Himeji Institute of Technology in Japan created a one-of-a-kind scale model of the Star Trek Starship Enterprise NCC-1701D.
What made the model so unique? It was made of phenanthrene gas and it was exactly 8.8 microns long. For a sense of scale, one micron is 1,000th of a millimeter.
I don't think we'll be seeing another model beat this record anytime soon!

Summer Glau joins NBC's new superhero show "The Cape"
Summer Glau has been around TV a lot, going from Angel, to Firefly/Serenity, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse... and now will be making her way to NBC via a new pilot for "The Cape".
Yes, NBC is doing another superhero show.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news:
"In the pilot, directed by Simon West, a former cop (David Lyons) is set up as a criminal and becomes a masked hero, the Cape, to clear his name.
Glau will play Orwell, a cute and intrepid investigative blogger who fearlessly goes after corrupt cops and costumed bad guys."
What does this mean for Heroes? Is NBC looking for a replacement for their show that dropped dramatically in ratings this last season? I still believe NBC can capture a strong scifi/superhero audience (look at Chuck for example), but will "The Cape" be it?
Do you think NBC can recover in the scifi scene with this new pilot? Are you excited to see Summer Glau again? I am!

Frakkin' awesome! Fidgit reports that Norwegian game developer Artplant is building Battlestar Galactica Online for massively multiplayer online gaming publisher Bigpoint.
"Leading [MMO publisher Bigpoint's] product slate for 2010 will be Battlestar Galactica Online, a tactical space combat and adventure MMOG based upon Syfy's Battlestar Galactica series. The game, inspired by one of the most popular science fiction series in television history, will launch worldwide exclusively this fall on Syfy.com for a 30 day period. The Unity co-developed MMOG will offer state of the art graphics that can be played directly in an Internet browser.
Players will be able to choose to play as cylons or humans in a constant struggle to control the universe or just survive its perils. A blend of tactical space combat, exploration, and mission-based gameplay will provide a diverse experience. The dramatic missions will define the game's overall storyline, enabling the player to delve into mysteries of the Battlestar universe. Battlestar Galactica Online will create a new standard for web games, with beautiful 3d graphics and innovative game mechanics bringing a new level of game play to browser based MMOG. Assets from the television production will be integrated into the game to deliver an even more authentic experience."
Definitely awesome! I can't wait to see how this progresses, and what it looks like. I've played some browser based games (Quake Live) and they're really good with 3D graphics and everything I'd expect from a game. Hopefully this will be the same!

Disney World turns monorails into Tron light cycles
To help promote Disney's upcoming Tron Legacy movie, they are repainting the monorails as light cycles from the movie!
From Disney: "The transformed trains will be visible on the Epcot monorail line as early as this month. And if you look close, you'll notice that the design of the futuristic motorcycle-like vehicles from the upcoming film Tron: Legacy also includes walls of trailing colored light."
So far there's no news on if Disneyland in California will receive the same Tron treatment.

Make your own "Ice-Planet" dessert like River Tam eats on Firefly
Remember River Tam's attempt to eat the dessert on a string called an "Ice-Planet"?
Well I just came across a recipe where someone actually made one!
But wait, wouldn't it melt and be really messy? That's what I thought, but the article explains otherwise: "What's so great about this dessert, is that is it super fun to eat. There are several methods to consumption. You can try to bite the planet from the side (never getting much); lick the planet (which yields little, but is less messy); or attack from the southern pole (which is most effective because the gravity of Earth-that-is is helping the process)."
You know you want to try it! Check it out at the link below:

Neil Patrick Harris is starting his next project...
...but it's not Dr. Horrible. :(
Taken from SciFiWire: "Because hosting the Tony Awards and the Emmy Awards, starring in a hit sitcom and channeling a singing supervillain apparently aren't enough for Neil Patrick Harris, the actor just signed on to star in Smurfs: The Movie, according to deadline.com."
I REALLY hope that this will not prevent work from being done on the next Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
WHY NEIL, WHY SMURFS?!

What Will - And Won't - Be Revealed In Lost's Final Episodes
From io9: "At last night's panel, part of the 27th annual William S. Paley Television Festival in LA, the show's creators talked about what a Disney - which owns ABC, the network that Lost airs on - park Lost ride would be like (Damon Lindelof imagined "a dark room in which you spin around repeatedly before getting hit in the face"), potential spin-offs (Writer Eddy Kitsis joked about a show about a real estate broker trying to sell property on the island) and an unexpected attitude towards post-finale publicity: Co-Showrunner Carlton Cuse told the audience that they do not plan to comment on the finale once it's been broadcast."
They also teased a lot about questions we're still waiting on answers to - and what will and won't be answered in the finale.
Without spoilers, some of the questions are...
Will we learn why women can't have babies on the island?
Will we see Walt again?
Will we learn if Desmond was really on the plane?
Was Jacob telling the truth when he said someone was coming to the island?

James Cameron doesn't want next movie to be called "Avatar 2", offers different title.
via SciFiWire: "Certainly I don't want to call it Avatar 2," Cameron said at the Visual Effects Society Awards ceremony in Century City, Calif., on Sunday, where he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. "He's not an avatar anymore, is he? Maybe we'll call it Na'vi."
It makes sense to me, although from a marketing standpoint you already have everything set with Avatar already. Maybe instead they could name it "Avatar 2: Rise of the Na'vi"? Sounds similar to how Hollywood has been naming their movies as of late.
Cameron went on to talk about the angle of the new movie, putting more weight on the culture by saying, "I think we can see that there's a greater receptivity to it on the part of the audience than certainly the studio originally imagined. We pared back on it a fair bit in the first film, and I think we can go farther in that direction and not alienate people."
What do you think they should name the next Avatar?

Q: What is the function of \noalign? The use of \noalign is quite common.
For example here \noalign is used with \vskip{}to control the height of a table cell.

How does \noalign work in general, and how does it work with \vskip?
What is the logic behind the use of \noalign{\vskip}?

A: Basically \noalign (which is a TeX primitive and not a supported LaTeX command) has to come as the first thing in a table row and its argument is evaluated as vertical mode material that is placed between rather than in the table rows. So \vspace just inserts vertical space. (If the table had vertical rules from | they would be broken by this additional space.)

Game of Thrones Star Sophie Turner Is Engaged to Joe Jonas
The couple have been dating just under a year.
By Joanna Robinson
Left, by Victor Chavez/Getty Images; right, courtesy of FilmMagic/Getty Images
Hot on the heels of the engagement betwen long-time Game of Thrones couple Kit Harington and Rose Leslie comes news that their 21 year-old cast mate, Sophie Turner, is also engaged to her boyfriend of just under a year, singer Joe Jonas. While Harington and Leslie announced their news in a very old-fashioned and traditional way (a notice in The Times!), the social media-savvy Jonas and Turner revealed their news Sunday via carefully coordinated Instagram posts.
Jonas and Turner have been dating since at least last November and went public just this past January. Playing coy about her relationship at the Golden Globes that month, Turner flashed a bejeweled finger for the camera and joked: "And my engagement ring that isn't really an engagement ring." The very famous couple have kept their relationship low key ever since; Jonas attended the Los Angeles premiere of Game of Thrones this past summer with Turner but didn't walk the red carpet by her side. In fact, the pair have never been photographed together in any official capacity and have only appeared together very rarely on each other's social media accounts and in paparazzi shots.
Given their private nature, the couple have not revealed any further details on their engagement—as in how long they are going to wait to tie the knot. Game of Thrones Season 8 will be shooting until summer of 2018 and Harington has reportedly asked production to be put on a brief hold next year so the cast can attend his wedding to Leslie. Perhaps he wants to make it a double wedding with Turner? A double Game of Thrones wedding, what could possibly go wrong?

Indian state bans online gaming over 'suicides and gambling debts'
Namita Singh
File image: Several southern Indian states have looked into cracking down on gaming online
(AFP via Getty Images)
An Indian state has passed a law banning online gaming, citing what it said were several reported cases of youngsters taking their own lives after they were pushed into debt by playing e-games.
Explaining the need for the legislation, the Andhra Pradesh government said the expansion of access to new technology and the internet had opened up many opportunities for dangerous and illicit online activity.
"Many internet websites which claim to provide gambling services are not authentic and there are no regulatory measures to check the legitimacy of these sites," said state home minister M Sucharitha.
"That makes it really easy for these sites to defraud the customers and it also raises a lot of security and privacy issues," Ms Sucharitha was quoted as saying by the national news agency Press Trust of India.
The details of the bill are not yet available on the website of the state, despite the fact that it was reportedly passed into law by the state's assembly on Tuesday.
Earlier in October, the state government had notified of its intention to bring in an ordinance "to include online gaming, online gambling and online betting as an offence".
The state had also urged the Narendra Modi-led central government to direct internet service providers to block access to 132 websites and apps that provide such services in India.
Online gaming is seen as a menace not only by Andhra Pradesh, but also by three neighbouring southern Indian states that have attempted similar crackdowns.
The Telangana and Tamil Nadu governments have already banned online gaming, and the Karnataka government says it is considering a similar law of its own.
Gambling and betting are ultimately matters for state jurisdiction, with every state in India having its own legislation on gambling, and most states having an exemption for games of skill. While there has been debate on whether certain online games are a matter of pure luck or skill, the inclusion of money with the rising prevalence of in-app or in-game purchases has complicated matters.
Jay Satya, who has tracked issues pertaining to the gaming industry and gaming laws in India for years, told The Hindu that most statutes are already out-dated and do not clearly define or enumerate which games fall within the skill-based category. Ultimately it comes down to the courts to decide on a case by case basis whether a particular game is skill-based or not, he said.

Washington State is an "at-will" employment state, which means that employers are allowed to fire employees for any reason, so long as the reason isn't prohibited by law. Still, employees are terminated around the state for reasons that are not only unethical but illegal.
If you believe you were wrongly terminated, speak to an attorney to know your legal rights.

the employer violated terms in the employment contract.
An unlawful cause for termination – the reason the company terminated you must be unlawful, not necessarily just unethical or unfair. What is and isn't considered wrongful termination under the law can be determined by your lawyer; ethical isn't always synonymous with legal. For instance, it may seem unethical for a company to fire you for refusing to work mandatory overtime week after week, but it's not necessarily illegal.
Actual damages – you must have suffered demonstrable loss or harm as the result of being terminated. Clear evidence will be required to substantiate your case. Your attorney can explain what types of evidence are admissible and how to go about collecting the information.
To determine whether or not you have a valid case against your employer for wrongful termination, your first step will be to consult an attorney for a case evaluation.
Your lawyer will help you decide if litigation is cost effective.

Due to COVID-19, the event has been postponed until 2021. Details forthcoming.
Where will the AI revolution take pharmaceutical science?
Conference Co-Chairs: Demissie Alemayehu, Pfizer Inc. and David Madigan, Columbia University
The Pfizer/ASA/Columbia University Symposium on Risks and Opportunities of AI in Clinical Drug Development is an event jointly sponsored by Pfizer Inc., the American Statistical Association (ASA), and the Statistics Department and Data Science Institute at Columbia University.
Our world increasingly relies on data and computing to create knowledge, to make critical decisions, and to better predict the future. Data science has emerged to support these data-driven activities by integrating and developing ideas, concepts, and tools from computer science, engineering, information science, statistics, and domain fields. Data science now drives fields as diverse as biology, astronomy, material science, political science, and medicine—not to mention vast tracts of the global economy, key government activities, and quotidian social and societal functions.
The pharmaceutical enterprise has been slower to respond, especially to the rapid developments in AI, but tectonic shifts are underway in approaches to the discovery, development, evaluation, registration, monitoring, and marketing of medicines for the benefit of patients and the health of the community.
