2021: The social museum

Museum doors may be shut for the time being, but that doesn't mean that culture has ground to a halt. Faced with the pandemic, and in the absence of visitors, museums and cultural institutions have turned to technology to reinvent their roles and missions digitally. Welcome to Episode 9 of the ETX Studio "After Calendar" of incoming trends for 2021.
Strolling alone through the Paris Louvre's Richelieu wing, without the crowds of tourists and school trips, was a dream that was previously out of reach for most of us ... unless you happen to be Beyoncé. But what was previously the reserve of a privileged few became a new kind of reality during the covid-19 pandemic. Feeling the heat from long months of closure, museums the world over turned massively to digital resources to maintain a link with art fans during periods of lockdown. Out went the waiting lines and crowds in front of must-see masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, as curators were forced to rethink the museum experience to enable individuals to enjoy it in their homes. It was a bold gamble for a sector in which social interaction is essential.
Virtual tours: towards a pay-per-visit model?
And it paid off. In fact, according to Google's "Year in Search 2020" report, the phrase "virtual museum tours" was one of the most poplar searches this year, especially following spring's lockdowns. From the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, to the Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw and Museu de Arte de São Paulo, museums showed endless creativity in allowing virtual visitors to get their culture fix in just a few clicks. While most offer 360° virtual tours for a fully immersive experience, others take curious web users to places the public usually don't get to see. Maybe you always wondered what was hiding in museum reserves, for example. At the Guimet Museum of Asian arts in Paris, president Sophie Makariou takes curious visitors behind the scenes in a series of "Guimet Underground" videos, filmed in the French museum's basements.
And while zooming in on an artwork will never evoke the same kind of emotion as contemplating it in a museum, these digital initiatives are an essential means of revitalizing a sector suffering from the drop-off in tourism and strict covid restrictions. According to a study from the International Council of Museums (ICOM), more than one in ten museums may be forced to close permanently due to the covid-19 pandemic. Those in Asia, Africa and the US may be particularly at risk, as the majority of them have private status.
In anticipation of lean years to come, some museums plan to start charging for the kind of virtual tours that they have previously been offering for free. The Design Museum, London, is trying out the idea with its " Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers " exhibition. For the price of GB£7, art fans can explore the history of electronic music through some 400 objects, plus interviews with Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, and the late 'Godfather of House Music,' Frankie Knuckles.
But are visitors under lockdown ready to pay for this kind of virtual experience when Google Arts and Culture offers hundreds of them free of charge? The French entrepreneur and patron Frédéric Jousset certainly hopes so: "The three pillars -- events, sponsorship and ticketing -- are not enough," he explained at a recent virtual symposium on the future of museums, organized by the Louvre Abu Dhabi and New York University Abu Dhabi. For him, the challenge is now to create new sources of revenue, and this may rely on a paradigm shift: moving from an approach centered around artworks to an approach centered around users.
Creativity and engagement on social media
What better place to redefine the museum experience than on social media, where culture vultures came together during lockdown to keep art alive in new and different ways. Their experimenting led to the famous Getty Challenge, which is mentioned in over 65,000 Instagram posts. The idea was simple: participants had to recreate famous artworks with the objects and people immediately available. And the results are well worth a look. Who would have thought that you could recreate "The Cholmondeley Ladies" with a few pieces of fabric and a dog? As well as being fun, this challenge also drew thousands of art fans to the website of the LA's Getty Museum to find artworks to reproduce for their latest real-life still-life. The best creations have even been compiled into a book, " Off the Walls: Inspired Re-Creations of Iconic Artworks ," with proceeds benefiting Artist Relief, an emergency funding initiative for artists in the US.
While the Getty Challenge was originally thought up by three Dutch friends, museums now don't hesitate to use social media to reach out to highly connected audiences. After losing one fifth of visitors this year, the Palace of Versailles in France plans to draw in new ones by means of its new account on the TikTok application. And the institution hasn't done things by halves, with a drone-filmed video of sunset over the Trianon estate, a fast-motion visit of the Palace set to a funky soundtrack, and more. The institution makes use of the social network's codes to modernize its image for a younger audience. "We have lots of families, but we also want teenagers to be able to come visit the Palace [just] with each other. And not only when they're dragged there by their parents or teachers. We hope that they'll think 'why don't we go to Versailles this weekend to chill in the park or visit an exhibition?'" explains Paul Chaine, head of digital development at the Palace of Versailles.
The draw of TikTok
Although many museums and cultural institutions have similar ambitions of achieving newfound popularity on social media, few of them have been brave enough to join TikTok. For the moment, only France's national military museum, the Musée de l'Armée, plus the Rijksmuseum, the Prado and the Uffizi Gallery have taken the plunge, drawing on their collections to make humorous posts and encouraging art fans to do the same. A host more institutions are expected to make the move in 2021. "Getting on TikTok lets us offer a creative platform to our visitors. Lots of people go to the Palace of Versailles to discover the things there, but also to create content. TikTok is a platform which, like Instagram, is relatively well suited to this aspect of the visitor-creator. Our digital strategy seeks to bring the past to life in the present and our visitors can help us do that by taking over the Palace," adds Thomas Garnier, the institution's community manager. Whether with Instagram, TikTok or recreated artworks, in 2021, social media could hold the key to the salvation and the reinvention of museums as we know them.
The "After Calendar"
2020 was an extraordinary year, a year that gave rise to a new, resilient and different world. From fashion and beauty to consumer trends, work and transportation, everything is shifting, everything is changing. Among those changes, Daily Up is focusing on 20 key trends as part of its 'After Calendar' of ways to live 'better, differently and with less' in 2021.

Ginny and Marcus [SPOILER] at the End of 'Ginny & Georgia' Season 2 (EXCLUSIVE)
By Jamie Lerner
Jan. 10 2023, Updated 11:03 a.m. ET
Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Ginny & Georgia Season 2.
Season 2 of Ginny & Georgia is progressing for many of us, and we have basically no complaints (except for that weird relationship between Cynthia and Joe). Even still, whenever things are too good, we know that something bad is bound to happen. So although Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Marcus (Felix Mallard) seem like endgame, we can't help but wonder if they break up.
Their passionate teen romance is one that many of us are familiar with, either from television and movies, or from our own lives. But we know that first loves don't always last forever, especially in the world of Netflix's Ginny & Georgia. Georgia's (Brianne Howey) relationship with Zion (Nathan Mitchell) is proof of that. So do Ginny and Marcus break up, and if so, why? Matt Press actor Damian Romeo dishes on what goes down.
Do Ginny and Marcus break up in 'Ginny & Georgia'? We have some bad news.
Look, we love Ginny and Marcus together as much as the next person, but we're not surprised that they don't make it through an entire season as a couple. Ginny is dealing with her mental health whilst covering up her mother's murder schemes, and Marcus is struggling with his own mental health. We can see the passion and love between them, but their relationship had a toxic beginning, and has its elements of textbook toxicity.
But all high school relationships are toxic in some way, right? At least we know that Georgia's relationship with Zion wasn't any more successful (although it did lead to a teenage pregnancy … so it was longer lasting). Even still, Ginny and Marcus's love, which we really do believe in, isn't enough. This theme that love isn't enough (or is it?) appears throughout the second season.
"When Ginny does her speech during the breakup, that essentially broke my heart," Damian said exclusively to Distractify.
"I think we've all felt that before. Like, 'You don't love me. What did I do?' That chokes me up just to see that and I love Toni to death. Watching her perform that scene was so heavy for me and that was one of my favorite scenes from Season 2 because it struck a chord with me," he continued. "I've had my heart broken. And I think anybody who's had their heart broken will really resonate with that scene."
Source: Ian Pettigrew
Why do Ginny and Marcus break up? It's complicated.
We first see hints of Ginny and Marcus's break up in Season 2, Episode 8, which is told from the perspective of the men in Ginny & Georgia. Marcus gives us a voiceover about what it's like to have depression as he feels detached from everything and everyone.
He feels alone even when spending time with Ginny, who he loves. As he talks to Padma and Max, he starts to come to the conclusion that he shouldn't be in a relationship, especially with Ginny.
Because he loves her so much, he has no interest in anyone or anything else and finds himself relying on her for his own happiness. Plus, his spiral toward using alcohol to numb his pain and difficulty with his meds makes him think he's not good enough for Ginny. What we don't see in Episode 8 before their breakup fight is that Ginny overhears Marcus talking to Max, and all she hears is that he's not sure he wants to be in a relationship with Ginny.
The two of them seem perfect together, but when Ginny confronts him about this, the conversation turns quickly into a breakup. Marcus, being depressed, doesn't really fight for Ginny, who wants someone who will fight for her. She's utterly distraught by their break-up, but in Episode 10, she learns what's really been going on with Marcus when she talks to Max.
While Marcus tries to find Ginny, she manages to find him and hold him, proving that she's there for him no matter what. Throughout the series, Ginny has had a case of "main character syndrome," which many viewers are quick to point out.
But this also meant that she couldn't see Marcus's depression beyond her own issues — and when she realizes that he just needs someone to be there for him, she's able to overcome her hurt and be a friend to him.

Programowanie intencyjne lub intencjonalne PI ( Intentional programming IP) – koncepcja programowania komputerowego stanowiąca próbę ułatwienia pisania i pielęgnowania programów komputerowych. Nazwa ta jest związana ze sposobem, w jaki systemy usiłują pojąć dodatkowe znaczenia – zamysły (intencje programistów) – niezależnie od tego jak kody źródłowe prezentują te zamysły. Robiąc tak system pozwala się programiście znacznie łatwiej śledzić rozwlekły kod. Termin wprowadził Charles Simonyi, wieloletni pracownik firmy Microsoft i kierownik zespołu badawczo-rozwojowego pracującego nad systemem znanym jako IP.

W "normalnym" programowaniu operuje się pewną liczbą zbiorów tekstowych zwanych kodami źródłowymi. Kody źródłowe są przetwarzane przez programy takie jak kompilatory (lub interpretery), co można obrazowo opisać jako łączenie i przekształcenie wielu programów źródłowych do pewnej specyficznej postaci, która w wyniku innych koniecznych zmian tworzy w końcu wykonywalny program komputerowy. W sensie ogólnym kod (program) źródłowy zawiera w sobie zamiary (intencje) programisty, ale na bardzo niskim poziomie, głęboko ukryte.

Przypuśćmy na przykład, że zamierzamy napisać program wypisujący liczby od 1 do 10. Przy użyciu syntaktyki języka Java program taki można napisać jak poniżej:

 for (int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
   System.out.println("liczba " + i);
 }

Powyższy kod zawiera jedną z najbardziej rozpowszechnionych w większości języków programowania konstrukcję – pętlę zamkniętą – reprezentowaną przez instrukcję for. Kod ten, po skompilowaniu, otrzymaniu następnie programu wykonywalnego i jego uruchomieniu wykona 10 iteracji, w każdej drukując aktualną wartość zmiennej i zwiększając wartość tej zmiennej o 1 za każdym razem.

Tym niemniej kod ten nie w pełni obrazuje zamysł programisty – było nim proste "wydrukuj liczby od 1 do 10". Jeśli ktoś będzie miał się zajmował tym kodem, to prawdopodobnie odtworzy tę prostą intencję, ale nie zawsze jest to tak oczywiste.

W systemach PI powyższa pętla lub podobna do niej będzie skutkiem translacji powyższej intencji "wydrukuj liczby od 1 do 10". Kluczową różnicę stanowi to, że tak wygenerowany kod będzie pozbawiony poziomu semantycznego, gdyż jest on domeną zarządzaną przez system PI, co pozwala, zwłaszcza dla wielkich (długich) programów drastycznie zwiększyć ich czytelność.

Kluczem do zrozumienia PI (IP) jest koncepcja tożsamości (deklaracji lub typu) zmiennych. W powyższym kodzie mamy symbol "i", który w tym przypadku jest licznikiem pętli. W wielkich programach symbol ten może być użyty wiele razy, i do tego do różnych celów. Rozważmy na przykład taki kod:

 String i = "Jestem Polką/Polakiem";
 for (int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
   System.out.println(i);
 }
 System.out.println(i);

Jest on całkowicie poprawny, nawet jeśli wygląda dość ułomnie. Znaczenie symbolu "i" zmienia się – na górze i na dole wskazuje na znakowy (string) obiekt zawierający wartość "Jestem Polką/Polakiem", a w pętli oznacza jak poprzednio wartość licznika typu integer. Tożsamość "i" zmienia się zgodnie z ogólną cechą większości języków programowania – definiowania tożsamości na podstawie tego, gdzie jest zawarty symbol, czyli jego zasięgu, jak też innych różnych reguł. W kodzie ciągnącym się przez wiele stron trudnym staje się określenie, który symbol odnosi się do jakiego obiektu. Jeśli podejmie się decyzje o zmianie nazwy jednego z nich, to należy starannie sprawdzić cały kod, aby stwierdzić gdzie jest on używany.

W systemie PI (IP) oba powyższe symbole "i" będą reprezentowane przez oddzielne, prywatne identyfikatory. System PI będzie śledził każdy z nich, i potrafi w każdej chwili wskazać jaki obiekt odnosi się do jakiej definicji. Jeśli zostanie podjęta decyzja o przenazwaniu, np. dość nieszczęśliwej zmiennej znakowej, to system PI "wiedząc" o wszystkich użyciach tego identyfikatora, potrafi zmienić go we wszystkich tych miejscach na przykład na "mojeZnaki" bez problemów.

Systemy PI oferują ponadto kilka poziomów szczegółowości, pozwalając programiście niejako włączać lub wyłączać powiększanie (zoom) w postrzeganiu kodu. W powyższym przykładzie programista może wejść na poziom, który "oznajmi" coś w rodzaju:

 <<wydrukuj liczby od 1 do 10>>
 <<wydrukuj "Jestem Polką/Polakiem">>

Tak więc systemy PI w wielkim stopniu samodokumentują się, co pozwala programiście postrzegać program w postaci obrazu na wysokim poziomie uogólnienia.

Faktycznie systemy IP zawierają bazę symboli i ich definicji, oraz operacji (manipulacji) nad nimi. System generuje z takiej bazy kod źródłowy, który jest następnie kompilowany jak zwykle, itd. Możliwe jest wygenerowanie dowolnego rodzaju źródła wymaganego przez użytkownika, o ile jest dostępny odpowiedni translator. Pod tym względem systemy PI stanowią rodzaj generatorów kodu.

Microsoft nigdy nie utworzył takiego systemu, ale Simonyi po opuszczeniu Microsoftu założył własną firmę i kontynuował prace rozwojowe.

Jerald's Secret HQ
Character check | Ghost in the Shell's Major
Tony and BAFTA winner and four-time Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson leads the highly diverse cast of Paramount Pictures' Ghost in the Shell, the live-action adaptation of the internally acclaimed Japanese manga.
In the near future, Major (Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others.
Johansson brings the central character an inner life that director Rupert Sanders felt was largely absent in her animated incarnation. "In the anime, the Major is quite distant and that's beguiling and mysterious," he says. "But with this film, we need to understand what she's going through. Our story brings the audience into what is happening with her internally and allows the character to grow.
"Scarlett brought a childlike quality to the character, which is very important because this is a Pinocchio story in a way," the director continues. "Scarlett's very clever at allowing us little moments where we're able to get into the character, then she pushes us away again. To me, Scarlett is the cyberpunk queen."
Producer Ari Arad notes that of all the film's characters, Major is the one whose life has been transformed the most by technology. "She revels in being the most extraordinary person in the world, but at the same time you get a real sense of the weight that she carries. Scarlett perfectly captures Major's emotion, humor and intensity."
Fighting cyberterrorism unexpectedly puts Major on a path to self-discovery, says Johansson. "Rupert and I talked a lot about her quest for self-identity and the need to know the truth about where she came from. This character comes to believe that she has both a life she's been given, and a life that she chooses. That's the real reason I wanted to do this film. Finding one's true identity, the feeling of isolation that is part of the human experience, as well as the connection that we all share — these are always relevant themes."
The actress was also drawn to the extraordinary visuals Sanders developed for the film. "That's what clinched the deal for me," says Johansson. "What he has created is not just an homage for the fans. There's a new feeling to this film. It's not the pristine future that we sometimes imagine. Humanity has engulfed itself, like a snake eating its tail. Cities are built upon cities, people made out of other people and computers."
Producer Michael Costigan says that Johansson was the only actress he ever envisioned in the role. "This character has to have humanity and yet also this otherness to her," says the producer. "She has to both connect with the audience and keep them at a distance. We could not think of anyone other than Scarlett who could do that. We really campaigned to get her into the film."
Mamoru Oshii, who directed the Ghost in the Shell anime, praises the actress for her ability to portray a character whose mind and body are not in synch. "Major has a fierce, combative side, but she is also plagued by insecurity. She's not entirely human, but not a robot either. Scarlett can say so much with her eyes. She is so close to my original vision for the character. This role was for her, and nobody else could have played it."

If, as England's players said, this was the first of three knockout matches, then they have been eliminated in the quarter-finals. Australia sealed the Ashes with a commanding defeat of in the first Twenty20 match at North Sydney Oval, dictating terms from the beginning to allow Beth Mooney to settle the matter with the bat.
After the delayed and ultimately denied resolution of the one-off Test match at the same venue, this was an encounter that moved in fast forward almost from the start. Winning the toss and sending England in, the Australians had the wicket of the visiting captain Heather Knight second ball of the match and seldom looked back thereafter.
This result was a triumph for Australia and their stand-in captain Rachael Haynes, not least because they were never able to call upon the talents and leadership of Meg Lanning due to her rehabilitation from shoulder surgery. Unlike the World Cup, where Haynes stood in at short notice, the hosts had the chance to plan for the Ashes, and have emerged the better, and better organised, side.
Opening the face of the bat, Knight got a thin edge to Jess Jonassen's second delivery, which was ruled to have been cleanly taken by Alyssa Healy behind the stumps and before she reflexively moved her gloves forward to remove the bails.
When Megan Schutt won an lbw verdict against Sarah Taylor with the first ball of the second over of the night, England were already stuck in the sort of ravine it is seldom easy to get out of in the game's most truncated format. Two more quick wickets to Ellyse Perry duly followed, leaving England a sorry 4 for 16.
That they made a partial recovery from such depths was largely down to Danni Wyatt, who played with freedom and no little intelligence to run up a half century from just 36 balls. Hers was the sort of strike rate England had needed collectively to set a sufficient target, but the early losses made this impossible.
Australia's chase was only going to run into difficulty with a similar rush of wickets to the new ball, but while Healy did not last long, Mooney played with a clinical kind of aggression that quickly turned a small target miniscule. The visiting spin bowlers Sophie Ecclestone, Danielle Hazell and Alex Hartley all chimed in on a slowing pitch, but their wicket apiece served primarily to bring Haynes to the wicket for the last joyous yards of the chase.
Australian celebrations at the finish were rapturous and rightly so. Having given up ownership of the World Cup, they have retained possession of the key bilateral garland on which they stake their careers and reputations. In some style, too.

i use is_test variable to choose the env,  to privsion the vm
now , i want to delete the value of inputs arguments from main.tf and make them in terraform.tfvars .
How i can do that ? How i can make the value of input arguments dynamically based on condition ?
i mean : if the env is dev , the size of vm is small , the region is in us-central1-b ..
if the env is prod , the size of vm is medium , ...
Thanks

A: main.tf

  name         = var.name
  machine_type = var.machine_type
  zone         = var.zone

run the command
terraform apply -var-file="dev.tfvars"

A: I would do it this way, so you dont have to repeat the code and tfvars file:
resource "google_compute_instance" "instance" {
  name         = var.is_test == false ? "vm-prod" : "vm-dev"
  machine_type = var.is_test == false ? "e2-medium" : "e2-small"

  boot_disk {
    initialize_params {
      image = "debian-cloud/debian-9"
    }
  }
    network_interface {
        network = "default"
    access_config {
    }
  }
}

Despite the innovative technology display in Google Glass, a major deterrent for prospective customers, besides the availability, is the ridiculous price tag of $1500. However experts now show that individual parts hardly cost 5 percent of the total cost.
According to initial estimates of the components of Google Glass released by a company which is known for analysing new consumer gadgets by tearing them apart, the Glass cost just $79.78 on its components. The major costs involved include the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 applications processor priced at $13.96, the 16 GB Toshiba NAND flash memory priced at $8.18 and the display with the touchscreen and glass priced at just $3.
While a Google spokesman claimed that the cost estimate is completely wrong, industry experts believe that the additional costs could be incurred on assembling the components on a small wearable device, not to forget the high production costs in California. However that still doesn't seem to account for the remaining 95 percent of the price.

Saturday Recap: Denver Holds off Utah, Bellarmine Tops Mercer
Published on 30 Jan 2021 30 Jan 2021 by Tanner Demling

We can officially say it. Lacrosse is back, Y'all!
It was a much slower first weekend of action than usual with only two games on the docket, but college lacrosse officially returned on Saturday. Bellarmine took down Mercer on in the first game of the season and just a few hours later we saw Denver best Utah.
Denver 9, Utah 8
The Denver Pioneers overcame missing 12 players, including Schuyler Blair, Alex Simmons, and Colin Squires, struggling heavily on the power play (1-for-8), and going 8-for-20 at the faceoff dot, to get hot in the second half and put away the visiting Utah Utes, 9-8, in their home opener.
It was a sleepy first half in Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. A Jordan Hyde goal put Utah up 1-0 at the end of the first. While Denver did get a goal from Ethan Walker early in the second, Hyde got his second just minutes later and Sammy Cabere converted in transition late in the half to put Utah up 3-1 at the half.
Despite a slow first half, both teams really started to find their footing in the third quarter. And while the two sides traded goals midway through the quarter, it's how Denver bookended the third that made the difference. Jack Hannah got the second half started with two straight to tie things up early in the third and Ethan Walker ended the third with two straight to put Pioneers up 6-5, giving them their first lead of the game heading into the final period.
A JJ Sillstrop behind-the-back goal in side proved to be the game winner for the Pioneers, capping off a 3-1 Denver run early in the fourth. Utah was able to get two goals late in the game, but Denver won the ensuing faceoff and held on for the victory.
Ethan Walker led Denver with four points (3G/1A). Jackson Hannah also had three points (2G/1A) in the contest while Jackson Morrill had one goals and two assists in his Pioneers debut.
Utah was led by Tyler Bradbury with five points (3G/2A). Cole Brams went 12-for-20 at the faceoff dot and Zack Johns recorded 16 saves.
Bellarmine 9, Mercer 7
In what was the first game of the college lacrosse season, the Bellarmine Knights were able to lean on a second half spark to lead them to victory over the Mercer Bears, which marks the Knights' first season-opening win since 2016.
After being blanked in the second quarter and finding themselves down 4-2 entering heading into halftime and seemingly having no clear advantage anywhere, especially at the faceoff dot where Mercer's Ashton Wood ended the day going 18-for-19, Bellarmine was able to find their feet in the third quarter and catch some fire. A three-goal Knights run, which included two from Jesse Roth, helped push Bellarmine out to a 6-4 lead with 3:18 in the third.
Mercer answered with two straight from Collin Stewart and Patrick Marks late in the third to tie things up at 6-6 heading into the final period. However, Bellarmine got two quick goals early in the fourth from Eric Rubak and Benny O'Rouk to put the back ahead. A Brayden Brown goal with 3:55 in the game sealed the deal for the Knights.
LSM Eric Rubak looked like the best player on the field for Bellarmine most of the contest, ending the game with two goals, six ground balls, and three caused turnovers. Jesse Roth (2G), Brayden Brown (1G/1A), and Kyle Playsted (1G/1A) also tallied two points each.
In addition to Wood's dominance at the faceoff dot, he was one of five for Mercer who found the back of the net once. Collin Stewart led Mercer and the game with four points (2G/2A).
Ian Reilly made 10 saves with a .588% save percentage for Bellarmine and Colin Kelley made six saves with a 40% save percentage.
Bellarmine host Utah next Saturday while Mercer host DII Lenoir-Rhyne.

The Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF) is going to develop a draft law which will allow for a free circulation of user data. Russians will be able to sell their personal data to large companies and earn up to RUR 60K ($900) per year.
The fund suggests making amendments to the Law on Information to determine the owner of personal data. At the moment, the law does not clarify the ownership rights. As a result, mobile network operators can use customers' personal data without their consent, and sell it to marketing services and advertising agencies. IIDF suggests introducing the term 'depersonalized data' with be a free movement of this data on the market. Users will be able to sell their personal information to businesses and receive a percentage of deal value that involved their data. IIDF experts believe that with the new law, citizens will be able to receive from RUR 15K ($230) to RUR 60K ($900) every year, and the budget will receive money from new taxes, Kommersant daily writes. However, experts are less optimistic: they believe that the biggest sum users can count on will not exceed some several thousand rubles per year.


Until the passage of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (STAA), North Carolina did not allow the use of twin trailers, 48-foot trailers, or 102-inch wide trailers as a matter of routine practice. With the advent of the STAA, all of these configurations must be allowed on the interstate system and certain designated routes. This change in practice elicited some concern regarding the safety of these larger configurations on North Carolina roads and highways, and the project reported in this publication was undertaken to examine potential problems that may arise in their use and how such problems may be minimized or avoided altogether. A survey was conducted of motor carriers who operate in the State and who were likely candidates for the use of the larger configurations. In addition, a very small group of drivers was interviewed. The motor carriers and the drivers provided information freely, and it is on the basis of their input, as well as on information gleaned from the literature and professional organizations, that this report is based.

Relationship between drug overdose mortality and coverage of drug-related issues in us television political campaign advertising in the 2012 and 2016 election cycles

Context: Understanding the role of drug-related issues in political campaign advertising can provide insight on the salience of this issue and the priorities of candidates for elected office. This study sought to quantify the share of campaign advertising mentioning drugs in the 2012 and 2016 election cycles and to estimate the association between local drug overdose mortality and drug mentions in campaign advertising across US media markets. Methods: The analysis used descriptive and spatial statistics to examine geographic variation in campaign advertising mentions of drugs across all 210 US media markets, and it used multivariable regression to assess area-level factors associated with that variation. Findings: The share of campaign ads mentioning drugs grewfrom0.5%in the 2012 election cycle to 1.6% in the 2016 cycle. In the 2016 cycle, ads airing in media markets with overdose mortality rates in the 95th percentile were more than three times as likely to mention drugs as ads airing in areas with overdose mortality rates in the 5th percentile. Conclusions: A small proportion of campaign advertising mentioned drug-related issues. In the 2016 cycle, the issue was more prominent in advertising in areas hardest hit by the drug overdose crisis and in advertising for local races.

N2 - Context: Understanding the role of drug-related issues in political campaign advertising can provide insight on the salience of this issue and the priorities of candidates for elected office. This study sought to quantify the share of campaign advertising mentioning drugs in the 2012 and 2016 election cycles and to estimate the association between local drug overdose mortality and drug mentions in campaign advertising across US media markets. Methods: The analysis used descriptive and spatial statistics to examine geographic variation in campaign advertising mentions of drugs across all 210 US media markets, and it used multivariable regression to assess area-level factors associated with that variation. Findings: The share of campaign ads mentioning drugs grewfrom0.5%in the 2012 election cycle to 1.6% in the 2016 cycle. In the 2016 cycle, ads airing in media markets with overdose mortality rates in the 95th percentile were more than three times as likely to mention drugs as ads airing in areas with overdose mortality rates in the 5th percentile. Conclusions: A small proportion of campaign advertising mentioned drug-related issues. In the 2016 cycle, the issue was more prominent in advertising in areas hardest hit by the drug overdose crisis and in advertising for local races.

The former executive chef of Public House and Imperial in Ferndale started his new job at Rising Stars Academy in Centerline in August, leaving behind the kitchens he had spent the last three years in. "I was kind of looking for a change of pace," Zarb said. "I really love the restaurants, and I've really enjoyed working with them, but I knew at some point I was going to want to get involved with something different." After going on a tour of the academy, Zarb fell in love and wanted to be a part of it. "It's hard to put into words but if you see it you'll understand why," he said. "I'll put it this way, everyone I've ever taken there, or I've known that's gone there, before you leave you're already asking, 'Ok, how can I get involved?'" Zarb's involvement will be in the academy's restaurant and lunch service, as well as classroom demonstrations ranging from knife to sanitation skills. As far as his association with the forthcoming restaurant Antihero, another restaurant being planned by Working Class Outlaws, the restaurant group behind Public House and Imperial, also on Nine Mile, Zarb said his understanding is that they've already begun the hiring process to replace him.

Q: Does Visual Studio support C++ code indexing? Does Visual Studio have a source code indexing feature for C++?  That is, it statically parses your project, storing symbols in an index, such that you can easily and quickly jump to a definition of a symbol or see uses of it (i.e. call hierarchy)?
From what I can tell, in Visual Studio 2010, it has "Go to Definition" and "View Call Hierarchy" functions (if you right-click a symbol), but it takes a long time (a minute on my project) to find the info and do the action.  It seems to be doing a crude text search in some cases.
I'm used to using Eclipse, which has an indexer, so those actions are almost instantaneous (after the indexing has completed).

A: Yes, Visual Studio Intellisense does just this.  If your "go to definition" is taking a long time, it indicates that the project is not set up properly inside Visual Studio.  You should be able to hover the mouse over a symbol (function name, variable name, etc.) and Intellisense should pop up instantly.
One cause of slow or incorrect Intellisense is creating a new project from a folder structure.  If you have a bunch of .cpp and .h files in a complicated folder hierarchy, sometimes the project does not get created in a way that Intellisense can easily do symbol indexing.  Also, if your project uses a lot of third party libraries, you need to make sure the header files are included in your project or else Intellisense will not be able to do anything with those symbols.

\section{Introduction}
The project which we initiated eighteen months ago to study
the gluon excitations of the QCD vacuum in the presence
of a static quark-antiquark source has two distinct goals.
Our first objective
was to determine the spectrum of hybrid $\mathrm c\bar c g$
and $\mathrm b\bar b g$ states with
results reported in Ref.~\cite{JKM1}.
Early predictions of these states in the
Born-Oppenheimer approximation were based on the bag picture
of the QCD vacuum in Ref.~\cite{HHKR}, and additional
phenomenological observations were made
in Ref.~\cite{Ono}.

The investigation of gluon
excitations around a static quark-antiquark pair in the QCD vacuum
has important implications on our conceptual
understanding of the quark confinement mechanism about
which very little is known at the present.
In this talk we will address this second goal within the context
of a simplified picture of the QCD vacuum which in the first tests
appears to agree surprisingly well with simulation results.

\section{Diaelectric vacuum and bag formation}

There is little doubt that some sort of a bag is formed when a
static $\mathrm Q\bar Q$ pair is inserted in the physical vacuum
at a separation $\mathrm r\ll 1~fm$ where asymptotic freedom holds.
The strong chromoelectric dipole field,
$\mathrm E_\theta = \frac{2cos\theta}{\sqrt 3}g(r)/R^3$,
at a distance $\mathrm R$ from the dipole source,
suppresses the microscopic nonperturbative condensate before
the field strength drops to some typical confinement
scale $\mathrm E_{critical} \sim \Lambda^2_{QCD}$
at a distance $\mathrm R_b$ which we will identify
qualitatively as the bag radius of confinement (g(r) is the coupling
constant, or color charge).
At the confinement scale, the perturbative vacuum bubble
which is sustained by the strong dipole field
has to be replaced by the nonperturbative condensate of the physical vacuum.
Within the bubble (bag) we should be able to apply perturbation theory
for gluonic corrections to the dipole field to recover the running Coulomb law.
The size of the bubble $\mathrm R_b$ can be
estimated from the relation
$\mathrm \frac{2}{\sqrt 3}g(r)/R_b^3 \sim \Lambda^2_{QCD}$.

In the bag model, as explained in Refs.~\cite{HK} and~\cite{HHKR},
we assume a simple confinement picture for the interface between the two
phases of the vacuum.
Inside the bag the chromoelectric vacuum permeability $\epsilon$
is set to one (perturbative vacuum). In the confining gluon
condensate of the physical vacuum $\epsilon=0$
is assumed (diaelectric vacuum) which is expected to
emerge from the microscopic theory of a dual nonabelian
superconductor in QCD.
A sharp boundary is assumed to separate the bag from the physical vacuum
with surface energy $\sigma$ per unit area
and volume energy B per unit volume.
The value of B is related to the gluon vacuum condensate by the
relation $\mathrm B = -\frac{9}{32}\langle|\frac{\alpha_s}{\pi}F^a_{\mu\nu}
F^a_{\mu\nu}|\rangle$~\cite{Shifman}. Based on QCD sum rules and heavy $\mathrm Q\bar Q$
spectroscopy, the value of B is determined to be in the range
$\mathrm B^{1/4} \sim 250-350~MeV$~\cite{Shifman}.
The interface energy at the deconfining
transition temperature of quenched QCD has been determined in the
$\mathrm \sigma\sim 5-10~MeV/fm^2$ range~\cite{HPRS}
which is small in comparison
with the volume energy and neglected in the calculations we present.

\section{Adiabatic bag picture}
The adiabatic method we apply here is a variational principle
for the total energy of the bag (for details we refer to
Refs.~\cite{HHKR} and ~\cite{HK}). In the results we present here
an ellipsoidal shape is used in the variational calculations which
is adequate within a few percent accuracy.
With an effective coupling constant $\alpha_s$ inside the bag, and
with the choice of B given in Fig.~\ref{fig:x1}, we first solve
the bag equations in Coulomb gauge for the ground state when
dynamical gluons are
not excited. The variation of the minimal bag shape as a function
of the $\mathrm Q\bar Q$ separation is depicted in
Fig.~\ref{fig:x1}.

ground state is depicted

approximation. The black dots designate the locations of the Q and
$\mathrm\bar Q$ sources. The oblate shape at small separation is
determined by the dominant dipole field.
The transverse size of the asymptotic vortex
solution is reached at $\mathrm r \sim 1~fm$ separation. }}

\end{figure}
Various bag shapes in the presence of gluon excitations are shown
in Fig.~\ref{fig:x3}. The notation for the gluon quantum numbers is explained
in Ref.~\cite{JKM1}.

The bag model in the adiabatic approximation predicts the gluon excitations
without free parameters. Fig.~\ref{fig:bag1} and Fig.~\ref{fig:bag2}
compare the bag model predictions with our simulation results. The
agreements are quite remarkable.

\label{fig:bag2}
\end{figure}

\section{Chromoelectric vortex (string) limit}

In the adiabatic approximation there is an exact vortex solution
to the bag equations which describes a homogeneous chromoelectric
flux with an intrinsic radius
$\mathrm R_{vortex}=(8\alpha_s/3\pi B)^{1/4}$, where $\alpha_s$ and
B are the only two parameters of the model. The vortex energy per unit length
(string tension, or slope of the linear part of the
$\mathrm Q\bar Q$ potential) is given by
$\mathrm \kappa=\sqrt{32\pi\alpha_s B/3}$. The vortex limit
is illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:x2}.
As it was shown in Ref.~\cite{HK} this vortex has massive intrinsic
gluon excitations along the ``waveguide" of the vortex
and collective string excitations which correspond to the low energy
Goldstone modes of the soliton~\cite{Luscher}.

The bag model provides a first attempt for a unified
low energy effective theory
to capture the physics of quark confinement at small {\em and} large
$\mathrm Q\bar Q$ separations. Effective string models focus on the long range
part of the picture~\cite{PS}. It remains a challenge to understand
the more detailed connection between the two approaches.

Nestlé along with the rest of New Zealand and the world were shocked at the damage, devastation and loss of life in Christchurch earthquakes.
The MILO and MAGGI sampling vans were sent to Christchurch during September 2010, February 2011 and June 2011 where they gave out hot and cold drinks plus KIT KAT and MILKYBAR to homeless people and the army of volunteers involved in the clean-up.
After the February quake, Nestlé immediately supported the people of Christchurch by donating over $100,000 of food and beverages (coffee, MILO, noodles and confectionery) to Salvation Army and petfood to Pet Rescue centres. This was coordinated by the New Zealand Food and Grocery Council to ensure that appropriate food was delivered in a timely manner to the right people.
On 5th October 2011, the container ship Rena ran aground on Astrolabe Reef off the coast of Tauranga. In the massive effort to assist the volunteers and workers clean up the beautiful beaches of the Bay of Plenty, the MAGGI and MILO vans were despatched on 3 separate weekends to help feed and hydrate the workers. The initiative was most appreciated with comments such as " Great to see our local businesses supporting their countryfolk in need".

Soon after His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej received the crown in 1950, and had settled into Ambhorn Sathan Villa, a modest residence hall in the Dusit Palace complex, he formed a musical group called Lay Kram consisting of himself on saxophone, clarinet and trumpet, and local Bangkok musicians—sometimes university students—on piano, guitar, double-bass, and brass. Few Thai musicians played jazz in the early 1950s, so the King would introduce them to songs from his record collection and, where necessary, teach visiting players the parts to be played. Some of the musicians in this band, and the later Aw Saw Friday Band, received all of their musical training, from the very beginning, from His Majesty.
The King soon had the idea to establish a radio station at Ambhorn Sathan so that jazz could be broadcast to the public. As a child in Switzerland, he had absorbed himself in radio technology and built his own ham radio. Bringing that knowledge to bear, and with consultation from radio experts, he submitted a plan to the Cabinet. Under decree by the Cabinet, the Public Relations Department presented the King with a powerful Johnson Viking 100-watt transmitter, and on 15 September 1952 the palace radio station began daily broadcasts of jazz pieces—including musical compositions by His Majesty—from 11am to noon.
It was known as Withayu Aw Saw (withayu means 'radio', with aw saw being the Thai initials for Ambhorn Sathan), and programming was decided by the King, who sometimes also acted as announcer and disc jockey. Later, when the station had a regular volunteer DJ and began taking phone requests, sometimes the King himself would answer the phone. The King also utilized the radio station as a platform for raising funds for charitable purposes, such as the Polio Assistance Fund (1952), Cholera Eradication Fund (1958-1959), and relief fund for flood victims in the north (1961) and storm victims in the south (1962).
Once the Lay Kram band began playing live Friday performances for the radio station, the name was changed to Wong Aw Saw Wan Suk (Aw Saw Friday Band), which eventually numbered 14 persons. All of the members were volunteers, and included bankers, students, professors, admirals, and even former Prime Minister Seni Pramoj, who played bass and trombone.
Sunday evenings the band would meet at the palace and practice for the following Friday's broadcast performance. Pianist Manrat Srikaranonda, a Chulalongkorn University student whom the King had met while visiting the university, became the King's chief assistant and remained the band's secondary leader until His Majesty King Bhumibol's passing. Professional musicians would occasionally join the group as well.
Dr. Pathorn Srikaranonda, Manrat's son, had the highest musical education of any band member in the group's history, having earned a bachelor of music in composition from the University of Michigan, followed by a master's degree in musical composition at Yale University, and a doctorate in musical composition at the University of Edinburgh.
When the royal family moved to the Chitralada Villa in Dusit Palace in 1966, the radio station was relocated there as well. By this time the King's duties were so involved that daily broadcasts were reduced to Wednesday afternoons for Western music, Friday evenings for the Aw Saw Band, and Sunday morning and afternoons, when one hour of Thai music was followed by one hour of Western music. At its peak in the 1960s, the Friday broadcasts reached an average 22 million listeners in central Thailand.
The Sunday evening rehearsals and Friday evening broadcasts continued without change. According to Manrat, if the King had ceremonial duties outside the palace, he might arrive at a session direct from the occasion, pick up his saxophone, and began playing while still dressed in his royal uniform and regalia. Only urgent state matters, illness, or travel abroad would interrupt the weekly schedule.

Design Ops Sprint Review #1
The first Design Ops Sprint Review took place on Sept. 27 where the team delivered a preview of the visual direction the application will be taking. This included a preliminary mockup of the landing page header and dashboard. The Design Ops team is applying universal design elements for building the component library and style guide that will be shared across all the digital services teams. This component library provides a holistic design approach yet allows each digital services team the flexibility to build, implement and test new functionality, iteratively.
The goals of this first Sprint included conducting visual design studies to identify and adopt a consistent look and feel and an inventory of core components for what still needs to be completed. Based on the feedback we received, it was agreed to adopt the 'professional' template as the primary look and feel while also including elements that were both 'warm' and 'confident'. Based on preliminary digital design study and a mockup of an intake screen role and were able to achieve consensus on a single design direction going forward. The ultimate goal being a look and feel that is completely accessible yet professional.
Watch a webinar of the first sprint review below:
User-Centered Design Follow Our Progress
How we put users at the heart of our work
The Child Welfare Digital Service (CWDS) is a groundbreaking collaborative, a mix of vendors and state technologists working together, using agile software development methods, with child welfare practice experts across the state. As a nonprofit social venture focused on improving outcomes for children and families, Case Commons is excited to join forces with the Technology Platform, DevOps, Policy, Data, Implementation and other CWDS teams to deliver the Intake Digital Service.
Case Commons is deeply invested in the state's commitment to user-centered design. User-centered design puts caseworkers and supervisors at the heart of our work. Meeting compliance and reporting requirements is, of course, crucial; our starting point, however, is the flow of work and organization of information that best support day-to-day operational decision making.
On past projects this user-centered approach has helped us measurably improve both practice fidelity and data quality. In Indiana, for example, we implemented, as key features of a new child welfare system, "embedded" operational metrics on caseworker dashboards; these metrics contributed to a 13.8% increase in the share of children seen by their caseworkers in the last 30 days, and an 81% increase in recorded visits between children and their birth parents.
What sets our work with CWDS apart is that the state has arranged an unprecedented level of direct access to our users. We began with intensive discovery, interviewing and shadowing caseworkers and supervisors across our six core counties: Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Cruz, Fresno, Yolo and Butte. We not only listened to county users to understand their pain points and aspirations, but also observed them as they did their jobs - in the office and out in the field - to see the problems they didn't think to share with us because they've become so used to them.
Such careful user research helps Wendy Christian, the Intake Digital Service Manager, and Jeff Dent, the Intake Product Owner, rethink the Intake process and shape the Intake Product Roadmap [https://cwds.storiesonboard.com/m/cwds]. The Product Roadmap evolves iteratively as we learn from our users. Much of that learning flows from numerous rounds of usability testing. A central goal of usability testing is to experiment, to challenge our ideas and gauge if we got it right or if we have further work to do. This means we put a prototype - either mockups or actual working software - into users' hands and ask them to perform a series of tasks with it. Often users will talk out loud and explain what they are trying to accomplish as they play with the prototype. Between that narration and what we observe, we glean rich and nuanced information. Wherever the user struggles we spot opportunities to improve, because we're testing the design, not the user, after all. We regularly share summaries of our usability testing findings at Sprint Reviews and other checkpoints with core county representatives. Here is an example report on some testing, involving 149 users in 6 counties, we conducted earlier this year:
How are we able to reach out to and do testing with so many users? The answer brings us to the most exciting aspect of our approach to user-centered design: Our core county representatives (13, across 6 counties) not only coordinate site visits, but also, after a bit of training and practice, conduct the testing themselves! Because of their backgrounds in social work they are great listeners, exceptional testers and full partners in design thinking. They make sure caseworkers and supervisors stay right where they belong: at the heart of our work.
Core County Representatives Show Their Skill at Conducting Usability Testing
Case Commons https://www.casecommons.org is privileged to be part of CWDS, working in partnership with a mix of vendors to deliver an open source digital service for California's child welfare system. Case Commons is a nonprofit social venture. We build user-centered software for human services. Our motto is "Helping the helpers." Our mission is to promote best practice and improve outcomes for at-need children, families and populations.

Blueprints and Rumors in Sinuiju and Dandong
Last week Christopher Green and I assessed the outlook for concerted Chinese-North Korean development in the critical corridor for trade between Dandong (PRC) and Sinuiju (DPRK). Using the October bilateral trade fair in Dandong as the test case and a number of Chinese-language press releases as sources, we argued that the trade fair should not be interpreted as evidence of a new receptivity by North Korea to Chinese investment. In a subsequent post piquantly entitled "We'll Always Have Dandong," Marcus Noland saw the trade fair (and North Korea's refusal to open the road to a $300 million bridge) within a historical continuity where "the economic development that we have observed in North Korea over the past 25 years has, for the most part, come in spite of the state, not because of it."
To summarize the bad news: The Hwanggumpyeong Island SEZ (once the crown jewel in the plans for joint economic management and development) is more or less withering, the North Korean side refuses to open the magnificent existing bridge over the Yalu, the delegations sent to Dandong are more or less the same as they have been in the past, and Jang Song-taek is dead. The baseline ambition for the Dandong-Sinuiju corridor as laid out by Premier Wen Jiabao in Pyongyang exactly six years ago seems to have been unfulfilled, and is languishing alongside a Liaoning province which itself could very much use more investment.
Given the lack of coordination between North Korea and China, it seems rather odd, then, that a new blueprint for massive Chinese investment in infrastructure in Sinuiju would surface at this moment. The JoongAng Ilbo (中央日报) in Seoul reports that it has gotten its hands on a comprehensive plan which would, if implemented, in the next 5-10 years, lead to all sorts of changes in the border region.

One object of interest in the plans is Ryucho-do [柳草岛/유초도], or Ryucho Island. If the emerging South Korean narrative of possible development on Ryucho as a signal for a broader opening-up and reform of the North Korean economy sounds familiar, it's because an essentially similar story was circulating in 2009, after which time essentially nothing was done.
Chinese state media is hardly some oracle of absolute correctness when it comes to confirming or denying this story. There has been precisely one mention of it which I have been able to find in print state media today, in the China Daily, which essentially repeats the JoongAng content without any comment or inference — other than to mention Yang Bin, the unfortunate tycoon handpicked by Kim Jong-il to put forward a similarly unilaterally-considered plan back in 2001-02, before his arrest by Chinese authorities.
In short, the Liu Yunshan visit to Pyongyang did not appear to break the logjam of overlapping plans, agendas, and North Korean strategic passivity and resistance in Sinuiju. The Dandong trade fair had been in the planning for over a year, and was itself not symbolic of anything other than an ongoing lack of coordination on existing problematic issues in and near Dandong such as the Hwanggumpyeong Island SEZ and the unopened modern bridge.
Perhaps in allowing word of this rumored plan to spread, China is simply playing along with what may be a South Korean misinformation campaign intended to prod North Korean development across the river from Dandong. As ever, the plans — assuming they actually exist — may be beautiful, but there is already no lack of plans for this region. In the meantime, optimists can take comfort in the announcement of more tourist routes from Dandong to Sinuiju, something which is announced every year after the trade fair, and which the government in Pyongyang can shut off at a moment's notice.
