Brickworks. An extended body of 8 sculptures made from a single, large set of miniature, hand-made fired clay bricks, each 4cm x 2m x 1cm. Most of the works are conceived as ephemeral pieces, built on-site and broken up after exhibition, the bricks salvaged and re-used in new works. Two works, Jug and Chimney have reached a final 'resolved' form and are now permanently sited in London and Aarhus. As such, the separate sculptures link together over time as a family of pieces, formed from the same physical material and containing residual evidence of their former states. Most sculptures take the form of simple architectural structures such as stells (sheepfolds), buttresses or chimneys.

With people coming and going, public assembly venues are a particular challenge when it comes to safety and security. Traditionally, public spaces make use of a public announcement (PA) system. However, PA systems are only as effective as they are audible. For visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing, this method of communication would fall flat. Even for hearing-abled individuals, a PA system is not effective by itself. In a loud and crowded place, it might not be the case that visitors can detect an important notification. Take, for instance, a shopping mall. It might be that the PA system is not located throughout stores but present only in the common spaces. In any case, tenants and visitors can easily miss a critical message, have it be muffled, and not know what to do when a warning is issued.
People gather at venues like auditoriums, arenas, convention centers, exhibit halls, stadiums, museums, cultural & performing arts centers, zoos & aquariums, houses of worship, and amphitheaters to broaden their minds spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. They seek to enhance their knowledge of different topics from science and history to musicals and plays by attending events or exhibits. The expectation is to learn and enjoy in a safe environment free from harm and injury. These types of venues are often busy. And, more often than not, have an extremely transient population. The efficient spread of information is even more important when we take into consideration that children also frequent these facilities. It is the responsibility of the organization to provide a safe place for each person to visit. Owning or managing a venue requires preparation before, during, and after an emergency takes place.
The answer is multimodality - or Omnimodality - as we call it. Having a mass notification system that allows you to send alerts through multiple channels to notify your people of an emergency is the only option. When you have new patrons coming in the door every single day there's no other choice. You will not reach each person with just a text message or email. Each individual comprehends information differently, so sending alerts through multiple avenues such as email/text, PA Systems, digital signage, emergency notification apps, social media posts, and even audible and visual alarm systems is so important. Having your employees and volunteers registered to receive these notifications and guidance via text is critical. They should be trained to assist those visitors. Remember, those visitors may not be trained or even aware of what is happening.
In light of the past decade's numerous mass shootings, more and more people recognize the need for safety precautions and additional security measures. Still, many don't understand the efficacy and effectiveness of a mass notification system — they may not even know that these systems exist. And they may not realize that a mass notification system is much more than a text messaging system.
Today's public and private venues represent communities unto themselves. Large or small, each is a bustling slice of society that serves a diverse and transient population of people as they live, learn, pray, and play. As a result, venue safety officials must concern themselves with all the potential threats to the people who comprise their entire community — staff, visitors, children, and the larger community.
Venues are also a place of gathering and being together. In a venue such as a place of worship, members expect to attend their services - as well as other events - in a welcome, peaceful environment. Unfortunately, hateful and harmful events have occurred over the last few years which have caused concern for the safety of practicing religions in a sanctuary — or a safe refuge for those who need time for prayer and reflection. What was once considered a safe haven must now prepare for unthinkable emergency situations. This leaves religious leaders with the task of keeping everyone in their house of worship informed and educated for different emergency Scenarios.
Religious venues are known for being 'always open' and accepting of those in need of help, but they must also look out for themselves. It's time that these houses of worship develop an emergency action and response plan. Time and energy must be spent on preparation and automation of emergency response. "It'll never happen to us"' is no longer a valid excuse.
Shopping centers like malls or outlet centers are constantly crowded throughout the year. Not only are these places you go when you want to go shopping, but these are also places you go to dine, see a movie, and even spend time with friends or family. Because these types of venues are so frequented, it's imperative that these locations have a system that allows them to not only keep their constituents safe but also their tenants and workers. With the cyclical shopping trends, not only do shoppers fluctuate but so do store staff — adding workers during peak shopping seasons. With this challenging retail turnover, it can be difficult to familiarize everyone with the safety and security measures set for the facility. Using a mass notification system with omnimodality helps venues like shopping centers and malls get the word out as needed to notify everyone — even if they do not have those people's contact information.
Dustin Jensen, the Public Safety Manager at West Acres Shopping Center located in Fargo, North Dakota, uses unique groups in his mass notification system. Separating his organization into groups allows him to better control whatever situation might come his way. "We have different groups set up, to include a group that will reach all 700 individuals in the system. We also have groups set up for each emergency function — operations, security, media, as well as for mall management. The depth of the Omnilert system is just great; it really allows us to fulfill our communication needs." It's imperative for Jensen, in a public venue like a mall that has thousands of visitors and workers each day - that he be able to communicate emergency messages through more than just a PA system. Jensen is able to send alert to telephones, mobile phones, social media, their website, and desktop computers — which he says is an essential part of any emergency notification system or mass notification system.
Emergencies do not happen on a clock. They can happen at any time, anywhere, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Be proactive and prepare. You cannot continue to live the "that'll never happen at my facility" mentally. The truth is that you don't know if it will or won't. The only precaution you can take to protect your organization and your people is to prepare for every emergency scenario that might happen. And then keep people in-the-know when one does occur.
Each venue is unique in its own way, and their notification methods should align to the communication channels that are in place with the purpose of reaching the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time. You must take time to analyze the possible emergency situations and make a plan with actions for your people and patrons to follow.
Take a look at how these unique venues - Dewees Island and West Acres Shopping Mall - are investing in the safety of their employees, patrons, and visitors. You'll get insight into what challenges they face and how they prepare their emergency notification and response and their people.

Reality TV meets the Internet in new Web series
FILE - In this Aug. 27, 2010 file photo, actor Seth Green arrives at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards Performers Nominee Reception in West Hollywood, Calif. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, file)
By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment Writer
Seth Green promises his new Web series "Control TV" isn't a Dr. Evil kind of thing.
"Control TV," which launches Wednesday, is a new reality Web series that is billing itself as a "a real life `Truman Show.'" Like the Jim Carrey movie, Tristan Couvares will have cameras following him all day long, but with "Control TV," viewers on the Web vote to make Couvares' decisions.
It may sound slightly dystopic, but Green, who is producing the show with Matthew Senreich, says "Control TV" is "part entertainment and part vicarious improvement of another human being."
"It's not Gerard Butler in `Gamer,' it's not `The Running Man,'" Green says, referring to two films where lives are sacrificed for entertainment. "We're doing something a little less malicious than that."
Instead, Green sees the show as a chance for an uncertain, 25-year-old man to be propelled by the Web-watching masses. In his view, the Internet can be a benevolent god.
"We're going to guide it so that none of the decisions are really detrimental to him," says Green. "It could be as simple as putting him in funny clothes when he goes to a job interview or insisting that he has a hidden agenda when he speaks to a girl for the first time, or whether he's going to eat oatmeal or an English muffin to start his day."
Viewers, who can follow at https://controlTV.com and sign up for cell phone alerts, will get the opportunity to decide things for Couvares approximately 10-15 times a day. Voting will be for multiple choice options - A, B or C - which means Couvares won't be forced to do anything the show's producers haven't already prepared.
"Based on what his life starts to become, we're going to have to adapt as producers," says Senreich, who co-created the Adult Swim animated series "Robot Chicken" with Green, who has appeared in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Austin Powers."
Couvares, who was chosen from many applicants, will be streamed live 24 hours a day. A webisode will also run daily summarizing each day's events.
In his audition tape, Couvares said he grew up in Manchester, Conn., and moved to Los Angeles about two years ago.
"At the end of the day, if I'm in a situation, I'm going to know what makes good TV," he says. "I'm going to know what's going to be funny, what people are going to want to see. That's what I bring to the table."
"It isn't like we're pretending there's no camera," says Green. "It isn't like we're saying that this is real life. Everyone is acknowledging how strange and bizarre this situation is."
Though many have experimented in streaming their lives live on the Internet, "Control TV" hopes the interactivity with the audience will set the show apart. There are also clear parallels to CBS' "Big Brother," which also includes live webcasts and viewer multiple choice voting options for certain aspects of the show. Green admits he's addicted to "Big Brother."
Green and Senreich - and producer Richard Saperstein, formerly president of Dimension Films - managed to persuade Ford and Sprint to back the project. Couvares will drive a Ford car and use a Sprint phone.
Green acknowledges he has some concerns about how such an experiment might play out.
"Strangers. Crazy people," he says. "We're going to be out there, he's going to have a camera following. People can react bizarrely when they cameras out in public. So we're hoping that no one is going to go out of their way to hurt our guy."
But Green maintains his optimism in the wisdom of the crowd.
"We're just testing the boundaries of it," says Green. "We really want to see what can come of it. There's things that are exclusive to this medium and we want to play around."

Facing (Owning) Ourselves Is The Only Way Forward
We're in a moment where who we are at our core has been exposed, scales have fallen from our eyes, and we see ourselves and each other for who we truly are. Our character is standing out in the open, raw, vulnerable, stripped bare of pretense or fantasy. Some of us have been jarred awake by a reality we have been avoiding, a reality that we thought was not ours to own or find ourselves a part of. What's been exposed are the implicit things in our hearts and minds we've suppressed or ignored as we've been deluded by the fantasy of "but that's not me". And many of us, too many of us, have been branded in a new way by this delusion as our brothers and sisters placed their delusion and fantasies above our lived realities, marking us as soft targets. It's in these moments that the awakened are presented with a set of choices: allow the jarring to keep us awake and embolden us to resist the normalization of hate, or allow it to fortify our defenses of self-interest and retreat even further into the fantasy that we are not the Other, and their fight is not our own. My challenge to those newly awake: resist the siren call to turn away from or suppress what's shifting inside of you. Turn instead to face your true self. Look at what has shaped you/your worldview (family, culture, lived experience) and ask yourself how all of it has shaped your core values. What can you keep? What needs refining? What needs to be abandoned? What are you for? What's rooting itself inside you as you react to impact of last week and how can you use it to dismantle and erect?
And my challenge to those who live life branded Other by social constructs and norms that threaten our existence: Who are you? How can you show up for yourself? What keeps you rooted to your fullest self in moments like these? Where are your supports? What are you for? What is rooting itself inside of you as you react to the impact of last week and how can you use it to fortify & fight for yourself & your community? This is the moment we are facing: how will you (and I) respond?

Paul George breaks out of 'dark place' to score 35, spark Clippers Game 5 win
By Kurt HelinAug 26, 2020, 2:47 AM EDT
Ashley Landis-Pool/Getty Images
It wasn't just a shooting slump Paul George was dealing with the past three games — the bubble had effected his mind. He described himself as being in a "dark place."
"I underestimated mental health, honestly. I had anxiety, a little bit of depression," George said after Game 5. "Just being locked in here. I just wasn't there. I checked out. Games two, three, four, I felt like I wasn't there."
He was there for Game 5, scoring 35 points on 12-of-18 shooting as the Clippers routed the Mavericks 154-111 to take a 3-2 series lead. Game 6 is Thursday at 9 p.m.
George looked like an All-Star player again.
The all-basketball, no family experience of the bubble began to wear on George, he said after the game.
"This is really hard being in here. It's not easy. All day it's just basketball. It's hard to get away from it," George said. "You see guys on other teams. Shout out to the NBA for creating this environment, but at the same time, it's rough. I just got to find what's going to get me able to check out of the game and check out of just constantly being in that mode."
Everything went the Clippers way in this win. They started to pull away with a 19-0 run in the first quarter, and kept building on the lead from there, a lead that at one point reached 33 points. Kawhi Leonard played a big part in that first-quarter run and he finished the game with 31 points. Montrezl Harrell added 19.
More importantly, the Clippers upped their defensive pressure on Luka Doncic — it was Leonard and George on him to start the game, and Los Angeles as a team pressured him and was more physical with him. Doncic's rolled ankle from Game 3 also seemed to bother him more than the last game. The result was a 6-of-17 shooting night for Doncic – and words with Marcus Morris after the Clipper stepped on his shoe. The Mavs got so frustrated coach Rick Carlisle was thrown out of the game.
Without Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Doncic missed a good pick-and-pop partner. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 19 for Dallas.
This was by far the Clippers best performance of the bubble, and if they can replicate it on Thursday the Mavericks are in trouble. Consistency, however, has not been the hallmark of this Clippers team.

Parents say using Alexa to entertain kids comes with problems

Big Tech is listening and tracking your voice recordings -- here's how to make it stop
Hey parents: What if there was a machine that could respond to your kids' every command, never tiring, even if they ask it to tell jokes for two hours or answer all their homework questions?
It's a blessing and a curse for moms and dads that machines kind of like that do exist in the form of Google's Assistant and Amazon's Alexa.
These in-house digital assistants don't always understand questions or serve up useful answers (which some parents say is a good thing). But they do create challenges and opportunities for parents — especially those raising younger kids. Even as Amazon and Google are adding options that control access and require kids to speak politely to their voice-controlled speakers, devices like the Echo Dot and Google Home can make a big and unexpected impact.
It took Mary Beth Foster a few days to notice, but it was undeniable: Her son's first words weren't "goo goo." Her 1-year-old was saying, "Ok, Google," after hearing his parents say it over and over. When she realized that, Foster says, "my husband thought I was nuts. Babies say 'goo' all the time, right? Until he heard him mimic us talking at the Google Home in context."
Meanwhile Foster, who lives in Mint Hill, North Carolina, says the device has created some confusion for her 4-year-old daughter over who, exactly, is in charge. Because the family accesses Netflix, Amazon Prime content and YouTube TV through their Google Home, their daughter has begun asking questions like, "Mom, can you ask Google if we can watch 'Beauty and the Beast'?"
Speed bumps like this have led some parents to avoid these devices.
Suzanne Brown, mother of two boys ages 7 and 4, is keeping Alexa's seemingly easy answers out of her Austin, Texas, home while her boys are young. She'd prefer to visit the library or search the internet together with her kids to build their "curiosity and problem-solving muscles." When they have a question, she says, "we try to work through it or go figure out how to find the answer. And we actually go searching for the answer, and sometimes that leads us to other questions."
But for parents who have invited a digital assistant into their home, here are some of the challenges:
Amazon EchoAP
Answers can come quickly, but might be wrong or incomplete
Are the kids calling out questions and accepting a single response as the entire story, without questioning where that answer comes from? Alexa's info most often comes from Wikipedia, which kids may not know isn't always accurate.
On the bright side, if a child is calling out a question — rather than silently typing it into a device — a parent can hear it and engage.
Also, it's a welcome change in some households if the child isn't looking at a screen (though some devices, including the Echo Show, include a screen that shows question prompts and video). Without screens, children have to process information aurally, which "could make you think a little bit more because you don't have the visual," says Erin Boyd-Soisson, professor of human development and family science at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
Kids can get frustrated because digital assistants don't always hear high-pitched voices correctly, or might be confused by a child's diction or phrasing.
Parents can use this to encourage clearer use of language and better diction. But be aware that digital assistants "may privilege some dialects over others," says Shannon Audley, assistant professor of education and child study at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.
Short answers won't encourage critical thinking, but parents can
If a child is asking Alexa to answer a math problem, that instant answer "takes away their own strategies for problem-solving," says Audley. One option is to use parenting controls so kids can't access the device during their homework session.
Teach young kids that they need to be able to arrive at answers and synthesize information through their own methods and thinking, says Boyd-Soisson.
As children get older, this naturally gets easier.
Amber Norwood, who is raising two children in the United Kingdom, says she loves that her 8-year-old son engages with both Google and Alexa. "He watches a lot of videos about rockets and space, requests cool music, and connects with buddies from school," says Norwood. He's also building some research skills, she says.
"I think he's going to be ready for the kind of world he'll grow up in. I'm a writer, a teacher of writing, and a lover of books, but I also feel like this is what the future of learning and engagement looks like," she says. "I want to teach him to do it well, and critically."
Google HomeAP
You can hear it all, and sometimes that's too much
It's delightful to see a kid discover just how much incredible music and information is floating in the virtual cloud. But all that access can induce overload.
"This spring we stayed with my parents for six weeks while we did house renovations," says Jillian Kirby, who lives in Burlington, Vermont. Her son is not quite 3 and was delighted that his grandparents had Alexa at their house. "If we had ever entertained any ideas of getting one," Kirby says, "they would have been extinguished by that experience."
Soon after meeting Alexa, Kirby's "music-loving son became power-hungry and impatient, and wanted to change the song the moment it came on, yelling 'Alexa! Nex' song!'"
It took several weeks back home and away from digital assistance to start getting through whole albums again.
"We have had a similar issue when people have handed him tablets or phones to play with. We aren't a no-screen-time family, but we stick to co-watching of movies and kids shows," Kirby says. "With both access to Alexa and with the tablets, he has gotten really irritable, and behavior takes a nosedive."
The key to parenting in the age of Alexa and Google, according to parents and child-development experts, is making sure the machine doesn't replace good, inquisitive interaction between parents and kids.
"It's not that the technology is good or bad," says Audley. "It's essentially how we use it."

Managing the energy and other needs in buildings efficiently and intelligently can have considerable benefits. A building energy management system (BEMS) is a sophisticated method to monitor and control the building's energy needs.
Next to energy management, the system can control and monitor a large variety of other aspects of the building regardless of whether it is residential or commercial. Examples of these functions are heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting or security measures.
BEMS technology can be applied in both residential and commercial buildings.

Nietzsche and the Drama of Historiobiography.Roberto Alejandro - 2011 - University of Notre Dame Press.details
In this extraordinary contribution to Nietzsche studies, Robert Alejandro offers an original interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy viewed as a complete whole. Alejandro painstakingly traces the different ways in which Nietzsche reconfigured and shifted his analyses of morality and of the human condition, until he was content with the final result: nothing was dispensable; everything was necessary. This is a philosophy of reconciliation--hardly nihilism--and it is a perspective that is not adequately addressed elsewhere in the literature on Nietzsche. Alejandro traces (...) the evolution of Nietzsche's thought by identifying the different layers of his philosophy, expressed in a complex array of stories and historical narratives. Alejandro analyzes the different stories of Nietzsche, places those stories within a tradition of genealogical theorizing, and interprets both the stories and the genealogy in terms of one of Nietzsche's unique features, his use of "historiobiography." According to Alejandro, historiobiography blends the idea of an attunement with all history and one's awareness of this attunement. As a mode of philosophizing, historiobiography allows Nietzsche to view all human history as if it runs through his own life and thoughts. Alejandro argues that Nietzsche deployed three strategies to find relief from his sense of the meaninglessness of life: his magnified concept of what he himself represented in human history, his doctrine of the eternal recurrence, and his philosophy of reconciliation. "I am confident that this book will be considered essential reading for any scholar doing serious research into Nietzsche's thought and its implications.... The author carefully traces the shifts and turns and occasionally the contradictions and dead-ends in the development of Nietzsche's major themes. I have never read an account of Nietzsche's thought as fully and convincingly supported by textual reference as this book. Others will disagree with the author's readings of Nietzsche, that is the nature of scholarship, but I cannot see how they could be ignored." --_Edward Portis, Texas A & M University_ "This is a major work on Nietzsche. Robert Alejandro offers us a reading of Nietzsche's Herculean efforts that Nietzsche scholars and scholars who write about modernity and postmodernity will be unable to ignore. This wide ranging and deep book addresses major issues in cultural history, psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology, and the vast literature on modernity and secularization. I expect this to be a book that generates debate and discussion for years to come." --_Robert Hollinger, Iowa State University_ "Robert Alejandro delivers a rich, lively account of Nietzsche's quest for meaning. By focusing on the theme of _historiobiography_, Alejandro illuminates Nietzsche's bold attempt to place himself at the center of a comprehensive account of the rise and fall of Western civilization. A thoughtful, well-crafted book, written very much in the spirit of Nietzsche himself." --_Daniel Conway, Texas A & M University_. (shrink)

Newly efficient assembly methods should lower the price tag of NASA's giant new rocket for deep space missions, agency officials say.
Engineers at ATK Space Systems in Utah are putting together the solid rocket boosters for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lifter, which is designed to blast astronauts toward near-Earth asteroids, Mars and other destinations beyond Earth orbit.
The new boosters are similar to the ones that helped loft NASA's now-retired space shuttles to orbit. But several new upgrades and improvements should allow the new boosters to be built more cheaply and efficiently, officials said.
"We are embracing innovation both technically and in our management processes as we design and build SLS," Alex Priskos, SLS booster manager at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., said in a statement. "Through the use of new streamlined approaches and techniques, we have been able to drive down costs and enhance the reliability of the hardware." [ Video: Building SLS More Efficiently ]
For example, ATK replaced traditional X-ray inspections with an ultrasonic examination of the booster's nozzle, allowing technicians to evaluate the hardware on the production floor, officials said. And the company reduced the number of moves during one stage of booster assembly from 47 to seven, decreasing both the time required to complete the process and the chance of damage to parts in transit.
In all, new handling methodologies can reduce the booster's total assembly time by 46 percent, ATK engineers estimate.
"As we were challenged with decreased budgets and a more streamlined workforce, we knew we had to make changes in order to stay competitive, but we also know the importance of ensuring we deliver a safe and reliable product for America's human space flight program," said former astronaut Charlie Precourt, general manager and vice president of ATK's Space Launch Division, in a statement.
The improvements have been implemented throughout the manufacturing of Qualification Motor-1, the next full-scale test article for the SLS booster, NASA officials said. Engineers are preparing the motor for a ground test in the spring of 2013.
The SLS first stage will be powered by four RS-25 engines — which served as the main engines for the space shuttle fleet — flanked by two five-segment solid rocket boosters.
In its initial configuration, the SLS will be capable of launching 70 metric tons of payload and will generate 10 percent more thrust than NASA's Saturn 5 rocket, which blasted Apollo astronauts toward the moon. It will stand about 320 feet tall (97.5 meters).
However, NASA wants to scale SLS up eventually, creating variants that can loft 105 and 130 metric tons, respectively. That booster version would stand 400 feet tall (122 m), making the world's largest and most powerful rocket. Manned missions to Mars will require the 130-ton version, NASA officials have said.
SLS is designed to launch NASA's Orion crew capsule. The first test flight of the huge rocket is slated for 2017, and NASA wants the SLS-Orion combo to be launching astronauts by 2021. The agency is targeting a $500 million per-launch cost for SLS once it's flying regularly, though things could change as the rocket program matures.

Use Tesla Autopilot, Lower Your Car Insurance Rates?
One of England's largest auto insurers, Direct Line, has started offering a 5 percent discount to Tesla owners with Autopilot-equipped cars. Is it a sign of things to come?
By Doug Newcomb
https://www.pcmag.com/news/use-tesla-autopilot-lower-your-car-insurance-rates
Self-driving cars elicit a strong emotional response from people. Hardcore car enthusiasts swear they'll never give up control to machines, while safety advocates believe that the number of lives that can be saved justifies removing humans from behind the wheel.
Autonomous tech true believers, meanwhile, envision self-driving cars leading to everything from the end of parking hassles to a complete remake of cities and streets. While no one knows what will happen, insurers have a big stake in figuring it out, and they look at the issue using cold, hard stats.
In what could be a milestone for autonomous technology, one of England's largest auto insurers, Direct Line, has started offering a 5 percent discount to Tesla owners with Autopilot-equipped cars, Reuters reported. While the discount and number of cars affected is small, the program is designed to help Direct Line learn about the habits of drivers with the semi-autonomous technology onboard.
"At present, the driver is firmly in charge so it's just like insuring other cars," Dan Freedman, head of Motor Development at Direct Line, told Reuters.
"But it does offer Direct Line a great opportunity to learn and prepare for the future," he added. And it could set a precedent for how the insurance industry handles self-driving cars.
Tesla Owners Paying Higher Premiums
Earlier this year, data revealed that some Tesla owners were paying higher-than-average premiums than drivers of other cars. CEO Elon Musk responded by calling on auto insurers to take into consideration his vehicles' active safety features. While Musk is known for his bravado, data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed that "vehicles crash rate dropped by almost 40 percent after Autosteer installation," which is a feature of the Autopilot suite of active safety technology.
"Crash rates across all Tesla models have fallen by 40 percent since the introduction of the Autopilot system," Daniel Pearce, a financial analyst at GlobalData, told Reuters. "However, when owners seek to insure their Tesla vehicles, this is not reflected in the pricing of premiums.
Tesla Roadster Revealed as the Quickest Car in the World
Musk declared earlier this year that Tesla would work closely with auto insurers to make sure that rates for owners of its cars are fair, and the first example of that is the Direct Line discount. In a win-win arrangement, Reuters noted that Direct Line sells insurance policies to customers introduced to it by Tesla, and Tesla provides information on the features and capabilities of its vehicles to help Direct Line set insurance prices based on standard risk factors such as age, driving experience, and claim history.
Going a step further, Tesla has even started insuring its own cars. In August, the company quietly launched a car insurance program under its own brand in Australia and Hong Kong, and expanded the program to several more countries, including the US and Canada.
Tesla is once again setting the pace in autonomous technology. "The insurance industry will gradually respond to these developments," Pearce added. Sounds like they already have.

Behind Bars: What Happened When a Russian Activist and a Journalist Collaborated
By Ilya Kudinov | June 26, 2019

Screenshot of the English version of "Outcasts," a story by the Women in Prison project.
Three years ago, Leonid Agafonov, a veteran human rights activist, participated in a workshop about producing investigative multimedia projects in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. For one of the exercises, participants were asked to break into groups. There weren't enough people in Agafonov's group so journalist Natalia Donskova joined him. It didn't take long for the two of them to meet again to start working on "Women in Prison," an independent project which produces investigative stories around the lives of women behind bars. The series covers taboo topics which span health issues such as the treatment of cancer patients and childbirth in prison to sexual abuse and LGBTQI relationships.
The project has been nominated for the prestigious independent journalism prize Redkollegia and the Sakharov Prize, and was the winner of the Civil Initiative prize. It also won a competition of cultural and social projects concerning LGBTQI issues in Russia. Ilya Kudinov, who led the workshop for the Russian-based media development group Tak-tak-tak, spoke to Agafonov and Donskova for GIJN about their chance meeting and how it transformed into a high-profile investigative project, which now employs five staff members who have produced 13 investigations.
Here's an edited version of their conversation.
Tell us more about how you started to work together.
Leonid Agafonov: Several months before the Tak-tak-tak training, I had gathered a lot of data proving that when migrants were placed in detention centers, children were removed from families. During the course of the workshop, Natalia and I used some of that data to create our first project, "Where is My Mother?"
But after the training I realized I needed the help of a journalist. I could prepare a lot of reports but I had neither journalism skills nor the desire to write. So I called Natalia and proposed we work together. She agreed.

Natalia Donskova: Leonid impressed me with his dedication and the level of his knowledge around prisoners' rights. Journalists often look for a suitable investigation for years, and I was lucky enough to meet an experienced specialist with perfect data and documents.
His proposal to work together happened at the perfect time. I had just decided to give up my job working for a TV news group. I was tired of one-day spots; I wanted to work on deeper stories. And I had been given a significant bonus before my resignation which is what allowed me to work pro bono for a period of time.

When did you decide to turn your initial collaboration into a long-term project?
Agafonov: We had already collected material on other topics. I had been a member of the public oversight commission for detention centers, and had visited many of them. When I left that job, I decided to continue working on the topic, focusing on gender and children's issues in detention centers. It is a serious issue. Compared with other countries, we have a huge number of women in detention. But no one was dealing with the issue. So while our project started out as a rights protection initiative, it became an investigative one as well.
How did you succeed in implementing the project without any initial financing?
Agafonov: Initially, we worked without pay. Natasha worked in the Rostov Region, and I was in Saint Petersburg. I applied for a grant from a Russian nonprofit to work on our next project about oncology patients in prison hospitals. While we received the grant, it was so small that it didn't even cover our costs. But we managed. Natasha used my air miles so she could come to Saint Petersburg and we could work together, while she stayed with a friend. It was difficult, but we managed to get things moving. By the time we completed our investigation, we had a resolution from the European Court of Human Rights confirming that the conditions of oncology patient care in prison hospitals were torture-like.
About a year ago, we participated in an event in Poland and were happy to obtain a traveling allowance of $200! Now, we have stable financial support from international and local partners. We received five big prizes and grants this year.
Is your project currently the only one in Russia that covers issues around women, children, and the infirm in detention facilities?
Agafonov: That's right. When Natasha started to work for the project on a permanent basis, we expanded its subject matter. Now, we also examine the problem of LGBTQIs and those exposed to sexual abuse in prisons.
You hadn't worked on investigations on the subject of prisons before, Natasha. What drew you to the subject?
"When we conduct interviews, we try to do it in a way that we can use that same material in the next two or three investigations." — Leonid Agafonov
Donskova: Let's start from a purely pragmatic standpoint. Over the years, Leonid has accumulated a huge amount of research and documents which could be analyzed. It was an excellent opportunity for personal and professional growth. But our work is not just about the investigation – it is an examination of serious issues. Nobody is immune to violations by law enforcement. I don't want to feel helpless in such cases. I want to know that some action is being taken to improve the situation. And I like working with Leonid. He's a real professional.
How do you break up your work?
Donskova: Leonid is responsible for the expert assessment of a problem, while my task is to prepare material for the viewer. Production issues – organizing shoots, bringing in external experts, negotiating interviews – are shared between us. Leonid communicates with rights activists, advocates, and any other experts.
Agafonov: When we conduct interviews, we try to do it in a way that we can use that same material in the next two or three investigations. For example, during the story around oncology patients in prisons and prison hospitals, we decided to arrange two additional shoots; the woman at the center of our investigation was dying and we needed to make sure we had all aspects of her story. Now we are going to make a movie about it based on these interviews.

How do you decide on your topics?
Agafonov: We always have something ready to investigate that we think will resonate with people, and sometimes we cover something requested by the public. We also have topics that we examine on an ongoing basis; these are complicated and slow-paced, such as the stories on oncology or about the rights of LGBTQIs in prisons.
"Children are usually imprisoned together with their mothers. It's not a child daycare center; the children stay in standard cells." — Leonid Agafonov
The most difficult part about our work is finding central characters who can help us tell a story. People in detention are afraid. We always take their security into account and consider whether it is possible to disclose a person's history or not. For example, if we write about HIV and a person does not want to be named, we put that story aside and wait until a better time.
Also, some of our sources can be very shifty. If the person is ready to give us an interview today, we have to go and take it, even if it's midnight. Because tomorrow it could be too late. That person can disappear, be imprisoned, or be on the run. We deal with a very unstable group.
Are there ever any disagreements about approaches to investigations because of your different backgrounds?
Donskova: We often have serious disputes. But we listen to each other's arguments and then come to a mutual decision. For example, I often want to start a story as soon as possible. So, we discuss why it might be better to work on something else. We also argue about the structure of a story, or certain visuals or text. In Leonid's opinion, the material could be inappropriate or change the story's essence. But I might think that the material is innovative.
What is the main goal of the project?
Agafonov: We are focused on changing the system. For example, we have launched a petition about childbirth in prisons that has already been signed by more than 90,000 people!
Few people know how pregnant women and their children are treated in prison. Children are usually imprisoned together with their mothers. It's not a child daycare center; the children stay in standard cells. The floor is not soft; the beds are not wooden, they are made of iron. There are a lot of problems, including injuries and overcrowding.
Thanks to our investigations, there have been some legislative initiatives. While the authorities don't credit us, we publish our stories and they react to them. The Ministry of Justice has already ordered that pregnant women be set free in cases of non-violent crimes.
Are there specific cases that you are particularly proud of?
"When others join us, we are happy. Now is not the time for people to work alone." — Natalia Donskova
Donskova: Our oncology project has resulted in legislative changes. The authorities have expanded a list of people to be discharged due to illnesses, and the number of discharged oncology patients has increased. So people don't die in the prisons now; they can say goodbye to their family.
The Gaaz Hospital in Saint Petersburg, which treats those in detention, has shown a three-fold increase in the number of people discharged due to illnesses. Before our reporting, the court would not set them free. But following the deaths of young women who were left untreated because their illness was not detected, changes were made at the federal level and other journalists covered that story.
But legislative changes are not only our achievements. We've become an accelerator; we've started a process. When others join us, we are happy. Now is not the time for people to work alone.
Donskova: I am proud that since we started up we have published 13 investigative stories in both Russian and English. We have had the most significant response to the story about gay women in Russian prisons; it has been read by nearly 150,000 people and the video has had almost 1 million views.
Have you covered stories which produced no results?
"Our experience has shown us that journalists don't know how to work on these stories. They always ask us to give them a good 'hero' for their stories. But we are not a provider of heroes!" — Leonid Agafonov
Agafonov: We also tried to initiate legislative changes around our first project, "Where is My Mother?" We wrote to government officials and they made some amendments so that women with children would be entitled to unlimited walks. But the petition was signed by just 80 people, while the petition about childbearing in prison has already received 90,000 signatures. Our first project had no public support … perhaps because the topic was related to migrants.
What's next for your project?
Agafonov: We would like to cooperate with traditional media more efficiently. Our experience has shown us that journalists don't know how to work on these stories. They always ask us to give them a good "hero" for their stories. But we are not a provider of heroes! Sometimes, we have to work with people for years to get them to talk with us. Other journalists may impair our work because they don't operate prudently, and are too hasty. You need to lead the other person to the question you want them to answer.
We would like to train journalists and rights activists in communicating with such groups. In general, we would also like to do more serious investigations, obtain stable funding, and continue to systematically and scientifically examine the issues of women and LGBTQIs in prisons.

Blog Kiosk: 3/8/2017 - Dodgers Links - Some Spring Odds and Ends
Clayton Kershaw is so good he even dominates during spring training. So far he has thrown in three games, pitched a total of six innings and has allowed no hits. Sure, I get that these games don't really count, but you gotta love the results. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
"To see him work both sides of the plate with his fastball, that was good to see," said manager Dave Roberts, who noticed that Kershaw pitched out of the stretch to the final batter he faced with nobody on base, just for practice. "Even when he's not right from pitch to pitch, he expects perfection. That's the competitor that is Clayton. We all have expectations, but none higher than himself."
Kershaw adds:
"I feel good physically and feel like the ball is coming out OK, so I think I'm where I need to be," said Kershaw, who walked the first batter he faced on a 3-2 pitch. "Results really don't matter, but I guess it's good to see how hitters react to certain pitches, and if you're not giving up hits, that's a good thing."

Princeton, N.J. (June 23, 2016) – Celebrate the Christmas season with festive journeys aboard a Christmas Market river cruise and bask in the holiday atmosphere. Christmas Markets are generally open from the beginning of Advent (late November) until right before Christmas, but you have to plan ahead as these river cruises tend to sell out early, says Crown Cruise Vacations President Ross Spalding.
Medieval in appearance, they are held in the town square. You have never seen Christmas lights until you have been to the European Christmas markets. There are unusual handmade gifts such as nativity scenes, handmade children's toys and unique art. Experience master glassblowers selling baubles and find idiosyncratic decorations that surely will be treasured for years. Pass Gothic Churches scented of frankincense and myrrh while all of your senses are awakened to the smells of gingerbread, cloves, sugar cakes and ale. At the same time, a generous amount of festive singing and dancing will warm your soul.


Legal advice is always beneficial, but especially so when it comes to setting up a new business. From finances to the legalities of hiring people, there is an array of advice which you might require. Which is why, in many cases, it is best to get such advice before you actually need it. As chances are by the time you look for it naturally it might have already cost you a great deal of money.
So, what areas can a solicitor be an invaluable aid when setting up a new business?
A business plan is one of the biggest necessities when it comes to starting a new business from scratch. After all, this is the document which will outline your initial road to success and it will continue to grow and adapt as your business does. Failing to create a structured, realistic, business plan can cause any number of issues for your business – perhaps not today, but certainly tomorrow.

Bargain Hunt fans may soon be able to dine in this auction house -if plans for a tearoom are given the go-ahead
Hansons Auctioneers - which regularly appears on BBC's Bargain Hunt - are hoping to have a tearoom at their Staffordshire auction house
Bishton Hall, the home of Hansons Auctioneers
Former stables turned classrooms in the Staffordshire countryside could soon be taking on a new role for thirsty auction house visitors.
Bishton Hall, a Grade II* Listed manor house that dates back to the 18th century, was previously home to the independent St Bede's School near Colwich.
In March, Hansons Auctioneers was granted planning permission to change the use of the site, which has become home to its Staffordshire salerooms.
Now the Etwall-based firm is looking to offer visitors refreshments on site by opening a tearoom.
A fresh planning application has been put forward to Stafford Borough Council for change of use of some of the buildings on the site to provide café, retail and office space. There are no alterations proposed for the hall itself however.
Charles Hanson, the owner of Hansons Auctioneers
A design and access statement submitted as part of the application said: "The change of use is proposed for a low range of buildings behind Bishton Hall. They were formerly stables, then classrooms, then auction rooms - currently part of the whole site which is being used by Hanson's Auctioneers. The buildings will not be altered externally, the proposal is for a change of use.
"The change of use is also proposed for the former auction room, which was a stable and coach house, then chapel and vestry. Its current use is as an auction room.

"The café/tearoom proposed is to have 60 covers and be situated in the former chapel now auction room. The operating times for the café will coincide with that of the auction house so as to work in tandem with it and provide a place for refreshments.
"The proposed retail bothes are to be for craft shop with offices on the first floor. All proposed units will be used within the working hours of the auction house.
"The proposal will make the current space around the courtyard (a) charming place for visitors to the auction house. The auction house is already an appropriate and pleasing use of the Grade II* listed building and the change of use to a tearoom, craft bothes and offices will be a sympathetic and appropriate use."


Sixty-five per cent of all money spent on advertising in digital media in 2019 will be traded programmatically, according to Zenith's Programmatic Marketing Forecasts, published today.
Advertisers will spend US$84bn programmatically next year, up from US$70bn this year, which represents 62% of digital media expenditure. We predict that in 2020 advertisers will spend US$98bn on programmatic advertising, representing 68% of their expenditure on digital media advertising. By digital media we mean all forms of paid-for advertising within online content, including online video and social media, but excluding paid search and classified advertising.
In Australia, programmatic spend has grown from just US$61m (AU$83.7m) in 2012, to US$1.27bn (AU$1.74bn) this year. By 2020, Zenith predicts it will rise to US$2.13bn (AU$2.92bn), representing 67% growth between 2018 and 2020. Programmatic now comprises 46.8% of digital display advertising, which is predicted to jump to 67.2% by 2020. Programmatic spend will represent 27% of all digital ad spend by 2020, from only 18% in 2018.
"In Australia we anticipate that a number of new channels will be transacted programmatically, such as audio (music & podcast), radio and addressable TV, which is why we are seeing continued programmatic growth," Zenith Australia CEO, Nickie Scriven, said.
Globally, the growth in programmatic advertising is slowing as it cements its position as the most important method of digital trading. Zenith estimates that global programmatic ad spend will grow 24% in 2018, down from 32% growth in 2017, and forecast 19% growth in 2019, followed by 17% growth in 2020. Zenith Australia estimates that local programmatic ad spend will grow 59% in 2018, up from 54% growth in 2017, and forecasts 29% growth in 2019, and 30% in 2020.
In dollar terms, the biggest programmatic market is the US, where we expect US$40.6bn to be spent programmatically in 2018 – 58% of the total. China is in a distant second place, spending US$7.9bn on programmatic advertising this year, followed by the UK, with US$5.6bn of programmatic ad spend. Australia sits at sixth position.
Zenith expects all markets to follow Canada and use programmatic trading for all digital media transactions eventually. Indeed, it's only a matter of time before programmatic trading becomes the default method of trading for all media. However, the transition is taking slightly longer than we expected – last year we forecast that 64% of digital media would be programmatic in 2018, and 67% would be programmatic in 2019, so we have pulled back both forecasts by two percentage points.
The introduction of privacy legislation such as the EU's GDPR has had some chilling effect by making certain data previously used in programmatic transactions unavailable, and making other data more costly to process. But we think the main reason for the slowdown in spending on programmatic media is that advertisers are investing more in infrastructure and data to make their programmatic activity more effective.
The most valuable data is first-party data, either explicitly provided by consumers or gained by tracking their activity on owned websites. It is also becoming more common to use second-party data, by forming data sharing partnerships, between – for example – brands and online retailers. Third-party data is widely available but does not give advertisers a competitive advantage, since all advertising can use it to target the same segments.
Advertisers should continually vet and interrogate third-party data to ensure they are truly adding incremental reach. By combining all this data with their own CRM systems, advertisers can model consumer behaviour, and the more advanced are using machine learning to predict it. Data and new technology is enabling brands to move from tracking cookies to communicating with individuals.

Just give yourself a break. If there is a mantra of wisdom, giving yourself a break from all too much devouring self-criticism should be in it.
Sitting behind your computer screen or staring absent-mindedly at that empty sheet of paper, awaiting a spark of inspiration that gets our fingers going – we don't need to describe it like a glossy journalist would to express what we mean. Sometimes we are eager to write something, but nothing comes. We have fallen silent. What if we write anyway? What if we produce just any sentence, anything that pops up in our mind. Why? Because those random sentences will talk back to you. They will turn from meaningless utterances into the material of your next essay or story. If you write "the lazy cat will never find the mice hiding under the sink" without scratching your chin and pondering like I just did, this sentence can turn into a starting point of just about anything. The lazy cat could need a more exact description, the mice are actually on their way to a small hole in the baseboard because they live behind it. The cat could wake up any moment when the birds start to sing so the mice have to prevent the birds from singing. A children's story already emerges. You can think through the characters of mice and men more thoroughly and look! a grown-up story sees the light of day. The lazy cat will lose its hair and its attributes and turn into a mere abstraction; the mice will become daring thoughts hiding underneath the veil of reason and – the beginning of an essay about subversive and revolutionary thinking sprouts in your mind. The lazy cat might also become a very clear image in your mind, thus fueling a more poetic description. The lazy cat is stretching her legs / at ease with the world in a purr / draping herself between the rags / a content whorl, made of fur. I'm sure this could be much better, but the idea is clear. You can go in any direction. The random sentence you started with is something to chew on, and once you're chewing, you'll mix in the saliva of your faded inspiration, that will thus come back.
