David Smith: Sculpture 1932–1965
As part of Yorkshire Sculpture International
Underground Gallery and Open Air
22 Jun 2019–5 Jan 2020
'David Smith, the Michelangelo of welding...The painters of abstract expressionism didn't reinvent the wheel; Smith did.'
Waldemar Januszczak, The Sunday Times Culture
YSP presents a major exhibition of over 40 works by the pioneering and highly influential American artist David Smith (1906-1965).
Widely hailed as one of the 20th century's outstanding sculptors, this is the first solo exhibition of Smith's work in the UK since Tate Modern's 2006 project and the largest ever outside the capital. This landmark exhibition charts the development of Smith's unique visual language over four decades, crucially bringing together a number of his sculptures in the open-air that are rarely seen in this way outside the USA. Within the Underground Gallery over 30 sculptures trace an unfolding narrative of material, technique and form. Beginning with Smith's earliest constructions from the 1930s that combine wood with elements including mussel and clam shells, wire and nails, the exhibition spans work through to the artist's mature, bold, large-scale painted and stainless steel sculptures of the 1960s.
David Smith: Sculpture 1932-1965 is YSP's headline exhibition for 2019 and our principal contribution to the inaugural Yorkshire Sculpture International, produced in partnership with the Henry Moore Institute, The Hepworth Wakefield, and Leeds Art Gallery. Yorkshire Sculpture International comprises a number of exhibitions exploring artist Phyllida Barlow's statement that "sculpture is the most anthropological of the arts". With Yorkshire's rich history as the birthplace and inspiration for sculptors including Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, our collaboration considers the human impulse to connect with objects, investigating both the physical diversity and the political agency of sculpture in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Smith challenged sculptural conventions and was the first artist in the USA to work with welded metal, becoming known for his mastery of steel. Although hugely influential to the development of abstract sculpture internationally, few of his works are held in non-US public collections, so he is rarely shown in Europe. Displayed at YSP, an incisive selection of sculptures includes major loans from museums and private collections, together with works from the artist's estate, including objects from his home that have not previously been exhibited.
'*** Smith alone is reason enough to visit Yorkshire'
Alastair Smart, The Mail on Sunday
Given the unique indoor-outdoor nature of YSP, a starting point for the exhibition is the importance to Smith of having his work in the open air, which in 1950 Robert Motherwell expressed as, "…an ineffable desire to see his humanness related to exterior reality, to nature at least if not to man." Smith's life was inextricably associated with his rural home and studio at Bolton Landing in upstate New York, where from the mid-1950s onwards, he filled the surrounding fields with sculpture, enjoying seeing them against the landscape, with the play of changing light across their surfaces. These sculptures were his companions, his achievements, and inspiration for future sculptures and by the time of his death in 1965, dozens of sculptures occupied 'the fields'. Primo Piano III (1962), one of only three similar works by Smith, also makes a critical contribution to the open-air display.
Also in the landscape at YSP, three works from the important Voltri series, that the artist made in Italy during a particularly creative and prolific period working in an abandoned steel factory, show the diversity of his approach to found material and to scale. YSP is uniquely placed to draw out Smith's fusion of industry and nature, in a region recognised both for its towering heritage in steel and renowned for its scenic beauty.
The impressive Cubi XIX (1964) made in stainless steel indicates Smith's ability in working this stubborn material, which in his hands becomes fluid while retaining its inherent qualities of tensile strength and durability. For Smith, the burnished, reflective surface of the material made it the perfect foil to explore the interchange of sculpture and painting, and to express the evolving relationship between his work and the natural environment: "I made them and I polished them in such a way that on a dull day, they take on the dull blue, or the color of the sky in the late afternoon sun… They reflect the colors."
Highlights inside the gallery include Smith's earliest sculptures, made in or with materials sourced from the Virgin Islands, which he visited in 1931-32. A selection of mixed media and wire Constructions (1932-33) indicate Smith's evolving understanding of assembled and counterbalanced forms.
Also from the 1930s and reflecting the significant developments in his work over this period are Smith's pivotal first welded pieces comprising found industrial objects. In 1933 he saw images of welded metal sculptures made collaboratively by Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Julio González, and he described this moment as his 'technical liberation', realising that the industrial processes with which he was familiar and the making of art could come together. Created soon afterwards, Saw Head (1933) and Chain Head (1933) are perhaps the first sculptures ever made in this way in the United States.
'The final pieces: gravity-defying and completely abstract juxtapositions of cuboid steel forms that seem to hang weightless over YSP's lawns, still project a dazzling sense of immediacy and sheer newness.'
Mark Hudson, The Telegraph

Smith's understanding of the social practice and role of art is also drawn out. A politically engaged and strident believer in the need for the United States to be outward-facing and connected to the wider world, as well as being relevant to all branches and levels of society, his anti-Fascist stance is vividly illustrated by examples from the Medals for Dishonor series. In a prescient statement he wrote: "The tradition of our art is international, as are American people, customs and science. There is no true American art and there is no true American mind. Our art tradition is that of the Western world, which originally had its tradition in the East. Art cannot be divorced from time, place, or science."
Smith aligned himself to an anthropological thread, embracing a creative continuity from prehistoric artefacts and ethnographic art, to that which is displayed within Eastern and Western art historical cultures. Smith spoke of his 'workstream', with connotations of connecting to an ancient tradition of working material by hand, and this exhibition examines the immediacy of his sculpture; its obdurate yet tactile nature; its shared space with man, machine, and natural forms; and the social and human impulse through which Smith developed abstraction from the automotive factory and foundry. For the first time ever, a number of artefacts that Smith collected whilst in Europe in the 1930s and which fed his imagination and emerging practice, will be shown in a didactic space.
Encapsulating the artist's lyrical, linear work from the 1950s, the iconic Hudson River Landscape is a vital and dynamic sculpture that synthesises and translates a train journey regularly taken by Smith into a captivating, whorled three-dimensional form. Smith deftly captures the essence of movement and memory, melding abstraction with narrative. Within the light-filled central gallery, Smith's striking larger scale sculptures from the 1960s reveal the importance of surface and colour alongside bold and concentrated form; an ever burgeoning output from a life and practice cut short in its prime.
This exhibition has been made possible as a result of the Government Indemnity Scheme. Yorkshire Sculpture Park would like to thank HM Government for providing Government Indemnity and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and Arts Council England for arranging the indemnity.

The Revival Of Leo Tolstoy: The Great Russian Writer
19.02.2021 Reece Choules
2012 saw the release of Joe Wright's blockbuster Anna Karenina, a re-imaging of Leo Tolstoy's 19th century novel. Tolstoy is an iconic figure in Russian Literature who has influenced literary culture on an international scale. With the recent trend of British classics being rejuvenated on our big and small screens, Reece Choules looks into the work and life of Tolstoy, and questions whether a Russian revival is next in line, with Tolstoy leading the way.
Are we witnessing a second coming? The BBC has announced the production of a six part mini-series of War and Peace. The Last Station, released in 2009, depicts the last years of Tolstoy's life, as he battled with ill health and attempted to control his legacy. 2012 saw the release of Anna Karenina starring Keira Knightley. Could we be forgiven for thinking that this is the beginning of a trend, a sign of things to come? In recent years we have seen no less than three stage, television and film adaptations of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, as well as a mini-series of Bleak House. We have had adaptations of Thomas Hardy's Tess Of The D'Urbervilles, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. Is it possible that having drained this particular well dry, that we may now be set to enjoy a host of adaptations from Russian literature's 19th century Golden Age? Will Dostoyevsky's The Idiot be next? Can we expect to see Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, or is Tolstoy the exception? In the BBC's 2003 Big Read survey, of all the greats from Russia's Golden Age only Tolstoy appeared in the top 200, with War and Peace and Anna Karenina. So if a wave of Russian adaptions aren't coming, could this just be appreciation for the work of an exemplary writer, considered by everybody from Virginia Woolf to Thomas Mann to be the greatest of all?

A Celebration From Hell
April 4, 2011 Wallace FordCivil War, Confederate States of America, genocide, holocaust, Jefferson Davis, Jim Crow Laws, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Tutsis 3 Comments
I do not generally engage in forecasting and prognostication, but I can safely predict that on Thursday, April 7, 2011, there will be multiple celebrations throughout the southern states of this country noting the commencement of the Civil War. That such appalling and offensive revelry will be done in full view of the American public and the world is shameful.
Yet, this Thursday fools, buffoons and adherents to a cruel, vile and false version of history will parade down streets and in "secessionist balls" reveling in some romantic notion of states' rights and the preservation of the "southern way of life". In no other country on this planet is treason celebrated without censure and punishment.
Yet in the United States traitors, war criminals and slave owners like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis are honored with their names on streets, boulevards and universities – indeed their portraits are still hanging in state capitols rather than being strewn on the trash heap of history where they belong.
And all the while black Americans are treated like the non-persons that the original Constitution of the Confederate States of America proclaimed them to be.
This is not simply a matter of racial sensitivity or political correctness. The mindset that celebrates treachery and treason cannot be fully committed to a truly united United States of America. The man or woman who believes that the "southern way of life" should be honored and glorified cannot also believe in racial equality or diversity in the twenty first century. There is simply no middle ground.
At the outset of the Civil War there were nine million people living in the South and four million of them were slaves. Four million black men, women and children were owned by white men, women and children and they had the same status as horses, cattle or other chattel.
Slaves were routinely beaten, tortured, killed and abused. Families were torn asunder to satisfy gambling debts, settle estates or to liquidate assets for an investment.
There was nothing good, pleasant, uplifting or ennobling about the peculiar institution of slavery in the United States. And the Confederate States of America was formed in order to protect and preserve the institution of slavery.
The Civil War had many ancillary factors that contributed to the bloodiest conflict in American history but there should be no doubt that slavery was the central cause. All sane and honest historians agree that but for slavery there would not have been a civil war.
And we should be clear that while slavery ended with the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States the spirit and heart of the South barely changed for more than a century. The Ku Klux Klan and its adherents tortured maimed and massacred black people with impunity throughout the South and beyond. Jim Crow laws not only segregated just about every aspect of life in the South, it degraded and debased the dignity of black men, women and children as a matter of law.
And it has only been in the last fifty years that real progress has been made although if you scratch beneath the surface in too many corners and nooks and crannies in the South the vile stench of racial hatred and white superiority wafts into the political atmosphere barely disguised with fig leaf phrases like "states' rights" and "taking America back".
It is amazingly sad that men and women of good will sit by idly while this celebration from hell takes place. We do not have to be Jewish to abhor the Holocaust. We do not have to be Native Americans to decry the genocide perpetrated against the original residents of this continent. We do not have to be Tutsis to denounce the mass killings in Rwanda.
Why then is there such deafening silence in the face of this ghoulish perpetration of the myth of the Confederate States of America and the celebration of a way of life that trafficked in human flesh and blood for centuries? I would hope that people – regardless of their political persuasion, could coalesce around the basic principles of decency and justice.
It is not right for the secessionist celebrants to dance on the graves of the men, women and children who suffered and died because of the southern "way of life" Their celebration is indeed ghoulish and mawkish and all the more wrong because they know better.
Their celebration is truly a celebration from Hell.

Remembering Debbie Friedman
To the many thousands of words of tribute that have been written about Debbie Friedman this week as the Jewish world mourns her untimely death, I humbly add these few…
The process of my transition from the Orthodox Jewish world of my youth and education to a proud and very publicly identified Conservative rabbi has been a long and sometimes painful one. When I was growing up in the sheltered cocoon of my little shteibel in Bayonne, New Jersey, I barely knew where the Conservative and Reform synagogues were, much less did I ever go to them. Those Jews and their practices were strange to me. I stayed very much within my comfort zone.
As I grew and matured, my horizons began to expand. Camp Ramah was a major change agent, broadening my sphere of friends and introducing me for the first time to Conservative Jews who were – mirabile dictu– very much like me. My years in the Zamir Chorale continued that broadening experience, as did meeting Robin, the woman who would, eventually, become my wife. No shteibel product was she, and more than anyone or anything else, Robin encouraged me to appreciate the wide diversity of the spectrum of Jews "out there." She was one of them. And thirty-five years later, I am still appreciating that diversity, with her at my side.
One thing I was never particularly comfortable with at the beginning of my exposure to the non-Orthodox world was the differences in the ways we prayed. My experience growing up was what my wife referred to- still does- as the "buzz buzz" approach to prayer. You start off, go as quickly as you can, making a kind of buzzing sound as you go along, and you finish when you get to the end. There was some singing along the way- at least on Shabbat and holidays- but speed was an essential component, and actually reciting the prayers regularly was considered much more important than the intent and focus with which you recited them.
As I met increasing numbers of Jews in the non-Orthodox world, I noticed that their prayer habits were substantially different. They tended to go more slowly- it used to drive me crazy!- and they sang a whole lot more. And then I heard what was, for me, something I could never imagine myself getting used to… singing a prayer aloud, in English, as part of a daily prayer service. "So Waspy," I remember thinking to myself. "That's what Protestants do in church- they sing hymns aloud together in English. I could never do that."
One day, someone played me Debbie Friedman's Mishebeirach– the prayer for those who are ill. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before, mixing Hebrew and English, playing with the wording in some places to make the prayer more gender sensitive, and using a melody that was positively haunting but decidedly not Eastern European. I fell in love with the piece, and immediately asked a friend in the business what he thought Debbie's best album was. He recommended "And You Shall Be a Blessing." I promptly bought it, and my wife and I began playing it in the car when we traveled with our children on summer vacation days. That led to more albums purchased, and more hours listening.
Long story short- I became a Debbie Friedman devotee, as did my family. Concerts, tapes (pre-CD'S!)… the whole nine yards.
And then, I made what was for me the greatest symbolic leap forward in my ongoing religious and spiritual development. I remember asking myself why it was that we couldn't sing Debbie's Mishebeirach in my very traditional Conservative synagogue here in Queens. I could certainly sing it, though as often as not, it moves me so that it chokes me up. And I could teach my congregation to sing it, too.
And so it was that one Shabbat, with more than a little trepidation, I changed the way we did our prayer for those in the congregation and community who were ill. It was more than a little strange singing in English the first few times, but I quickly came to appreciate how much more quiet and reflective the congregation was when we sang Debbie's version, and what a prayerful moment it had become… so different from the "buzz buzz," quickly recited version of the prayer that I was used to from my days growing up.
In the years to come, I reached out to Debbie for comfort myself during a particularly painful moment of loss and bereavement in my rabbinate – and she was there for me. We spoke a few times thereafter, and I always thought of her as a friend, and revered colleague.
The news of Debbie's death was extraordinarily sad for me, and for my family. She was a presence in our lives in a unique way, and as much as anyone else, she helped make me the person, and rabbi, that I am. We mourn with entire household of Israel.
T'he nishmatah tzrurah b'tzror hahayyim; may her soul be bound up in the bond of everlasting life…

Chevy Bolt Delayed Through February
General Motors said it is extending a production halt at its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan, which makes the Chevrolet Bolt EV, through the end of February.
The largest U.S. automaker in August widened its recall of the Bolt to more than 140,000 vehicles to replace battery modules after a series of fires. Earlier this month it extended its production shutdown through late January. GM has also indefinitely halted retail sales of new Bolt vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has an ongoing investigation into the battery fires. The agency noted in August that all Chevrolet Bolt EVs had been recalled due to the risk of the high-voltage battery pack catching fire.

In companies today, intuition has a big role to play in adding value. Managers need to learn how to harness it and take the time to learn how to listen to it without interference from emotion, like fear. Like our 5 senses, this "6th sense" is no less valid in helping make the right decisions.

Intel's 9th-Gen CPUs: What Gamers Need to Know
By Michael Andronico
Intel's new 9th-Gen desktop processors promise a ton of extra power for gaming and streaming.
The next generation of desktop processors is officially here. Intel just took the wraps off of its 9th-Gen Core CPU series, which promise to deliver a whole ton of extra power, particularly for gamers and content creators.
(Image credit: Intel)
Whether you're a PC enthusiast or are just trying to make sense of all the jargon, here's what you need to know about Intel's CPUs, and why they matter for gaming.
What are Intel's new 9th-Gen processors?
Intel's 9th-generation Core series is the company's latest family of desktop CPUs, led by the flagship Core i9-9900K. The new processors will be available in Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9 variations.
What are the 9th-Gen CPUs' key specs, and what do they mean for gamers?
Dubbed the "world's best gaming processor" by Intel, the Core i9-9900K is the first 5.0-GHz broad volume CPU, and the company's first mainstream processor with 8 cores and 16 threads.
If that all sounds like another language to you, know that the new processors will run CPU-intensive games better than ever, particularly if you're playing and streaming to Twitch at the same time.
At its Oct. 8. reveal event, Intel showcased a single PC running PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and World of Tanks simultaneously while also broadcasting both games, and the titles ran without a hitch.
Intel also promises up to 10 percent better performance on games such as Hitman 2 and World of Tanks over the previous generation, and says to expect up to 34 percent better video editing. So if you're a content creator, you should have these new chips on your radar.
For a more nitty-gritty breakdown of every 9th-Gen Core variation and their complete specs, check out the full rundown from our pals at Tom's Hardware.
When will Intel 9th-Gen be available?
Intel's 9th-Gen Core processors will be available for pre-order starting on Oct. 19.
The line starts at $262 for the Core i5-9600K, $374 for the Core i7-9700K and $488 for the 9900K.
What desktops will utilize Intel 9th-Gen CPUs?
(Image credit: MSI)
You can expect Intel's latest CPUs to show up in most mainstream gaming PCs this fall, including the Alienware Aurora, Lenovo's Legion series and the all-new MSI Trident X. Other key partners include Acer, Asus, HP Digital Storm and Origin.
Should I buy a system with Intel 9th-Gen?
If you're rocking a CPU that's from three years ago or older, 9th-Gen seems like a great excuse to upgrade. The new processors seem specifically aimed at those who play and stream at the same time, and don't want to spring for a separate dedicated PC just for broadcasting. We'll have a better idea of how 9th-Gen Core stacks up when the wave of new Intel-powered systems hit our labs this fall, so stay tuned for full reviews.

I was asked to write a response to this article; I did.
If teaching is an art, then it is no more rigid and concrete than it is abstract and fluid. Therefore, Polya's outlined tenants of teaching and learning are no more than his own teaching philosophy. Polya even supports this by saying, "Yet it is far from me to say that you must accept these principles," because he knows how subjective teaching is, "…it does not matter much what your philosophy is or is not. It matters more whether you have a philosophy or not." I do have a philosophy, which I have submitted, and one can clearly see that Polya and I agree on many stances. However, there is no need to convolute teaching with such subjective abstractions. We should try to reduce the role of a teacher to a single idea that can apply to all teachers, similar to the golden rule.
Polya and I both believe a teacher should do more than regurgitate information. A teacher must develop students. But, in what way? In regards to mathematical educators, Polya believes teachers should develop their students by teaching purposeful thinking, thought processes, and applications of concepts. I firmly believe these attributes to be necessary for all subjects. Some forgiveness is needed because I have taken Polya's words out of context—this article was published in a mathematics journal. Nevertheless, it begs the definition of a teacher.
What is the purpose of reading and discussing To Kill a Mocking Bird or mastering hyperbolic geodesics? The importance of these pursuits is the development of critical thinking. The language arts focus on critical thinking for subjective matters, whereas the STEM subjects focus on the objective topics. The two pursuits are equally important because they develop our inductive and deductive logic—critical thinking—which is a necessary requirement for independent thinking. Without critical thinking one cannot understand. Richard Feynman exemplifies the difference between knowing and understanding with this quote from his father, "You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing—that's what counts." Without understanding one cannot be an independent thinker, else all conclusions are simply borrowed, which can be found in the full context of Feynman's anecdote. When we understand something we are then able to form conclusions from our own perspective, the best way to learn anything is to discover it by yourself.
Polya says the "principles of learning" can be regarded as the "principles of teaching," and I agree. Polya provides the principle of active learning, the principle of best motivation, and the principle of consecutive phases. The same are given to teaching. I agree that one cannot understand without these principles, but I contend that these principles alone do not define learning. Furthermore, Polya provides some pedagogical approaches to incentivize students. Again, I argue that the pedagogy is more or less his own teaching philosophy. I think a more appropriate claim is to say that the act of learning and the act of teaching are synonymous. I also argue that Polya has erroneously presented the role of a teacher.
sell motivation. Wild animals don't even have teachers per se. In other words, a teacher is not necessary for learning, and I believe students to be oblivious to this fact. A teacher cannot learn for a student. A teacher can only expedite the learning process. And, now we have a hint at the synonymy of learning and teaching.
One is only capable of teaching after having mastered a topic. A teacher by definition has previously undergone the learning process. In the classroom a teacher revisits the learning process again, but this intending to build maximum conceptual connections in a shortened time. From another perspective, the teacher intends to present the material in such a way that the amount of effort required is significantly reduced when compared to individual learning. A learner without a teacher builds conceptual understanding one concept at a time. Moreover, learners teach themselves and teachers relearn material.
Polya's pedagogy can now easily be seen as his own approach to motivate a student to learn a particular subject when the material seems peripheral. It goes without saying that humans are more likely to pursue learning when benefits of that knowledge are known. We are lazy creatures, no different from the rest of nature. So, it is only natural that a student refrain from learning if there is no benefit. It should seem obvious now that figuring out the benefit of learning a subject is part of the process. In fact, this is often how new branches of fields are established, for example, applying advanced physics and psychology to economics to birth econometrics and behavioral economics. A teacher did not tell the student of this value—it was discovered!
I can further philosophize about the role of a teacher and suggest that they should constantly challenge, support, and motivate. However, this adds no more value that one golden rule for teaching. I mean, how does one define something with infinitely many characteristics? It is like defining "table" with colors, textures, shapes, and dimensions. This is preposterous because a table is more than that. Sure, a table can have all of those qualities, but it can be none of those things as well. Must a table have four legs? Must a table be made of wood? A table serves a purpose. Anything that serves the purpose of a table could be classified as a table. Similarly, anything that supports the role of teaching can be considered a principle of teaching.
In conclusion, I conjecture that a teacher is anyone or anything that expedites one's learning process; learning is the act of understanding.

Commission gets to the heart of Creative State
A ground-breaking First Nations theatre project that will bring to life the stories of generations of Victorian Koorie women has received the state's largest ever grant for a single creative project through the Victorian Government's Creative State Commissions program.

ILBIJERRI Theatre Company, in partnership with Boonwurrung Custodian Caroline Martin (Director and Founder, Yalukit Marnang), is the recipient of $931,470 in funding for the multifaceted Bagurrk (woman) project which will forge new methods for making art based on First Peoples history and experiences.
Bagurrk will celebrate the untold stories of Victorian Koorie women from before colonisation to the present day. The work is based on source material including Board of Protection records, the hundreds of letters written by Koorie women in the 1800s and oral histories that will be collected from Koorie women and their families across the state. Bagurrk will pay tribute to the tenacious women who defied great odds to keep their families, community and culture alive.
As well as creating a dynamic theatre production that will premiere at Arts Centre Melbourne in 2021, ILBIJERRI and Yalukit Marnang will research and establish innovative consultation protocols and create a blueprint that can be used by other projects in the theatre and broader creative sectors that tell First Nations stories.
The project will utilise the skills of Yalukit Marnang and ILBIJERRI's Elders in Residence Arweet Carolyn Briggs and Uncle Larry Walsh to bring together descendants of the women behind the records and letters who will act as advisors in every aspect of the work, ensuring that self- determination and cultural authority are the driving forces of the project.
First Nations artists and practitioners will lead all stages of the production and a range of attachments and work placements will be available to upskill our next generation of First Peoples theatre makers.
In December, the Victorian Government called on creative practitioners and organisations across the state for ambitious creative ideas that had the potential to create an enduring legacy. ILBIJERRI and Yalukit Marnang's impassioned proposal was selected from a total field of 27 applications and a shortlist of seven impressive projects.
Two further projects from the shortlist have also received support to undertake further development.
Malthouse Theatre will receive $100,000 to continue development on an immersive theatrical experience based on producer Jason Tamiru's own experiences of reclaiming and reburying the ancestral remains of First Nations people.
A project led by Matthew Bird, Charity Edwards and Tom Morgan from MADA (Monash Art, Design & Architecture), in partnership with Ross Turnbull and Clare Chandler at Working Heritage, that aims to transform the former Warracknabeal Courthouse into a vibrant artist residency space and art hotel has also received $75,000 to undertake further development.
From the team behind Bagurrk
"My great, great grandmother, Louisa Briggs was known as a vocal activist, described in an 1872 edition of the Melbourne Argus as 'a most resolute lady'. Louisa was often spoken about as being strong-minded, hard working, known for her kindness, her love of children, her humour, fearlessness and courage.
"In 1876, Louisa led a rebellion against government plans to sell Coranderrk and relocate its residents by writing numerous letters of protest to the Aborigines Protection Board. It is through the sheer strength and resilience of Louisa and the many other of our Matriarchal Ancestors that we are reminded, that women are not the silent partners in history - we all come from strong sovereign women; our Matriarchs defined history and because of them, we will continue to do so. 'Bargurrk' provides us our genetic responsibility to ensure that our murni-gurrk's (old wise women's) legacy is carried forward for many generations: just as it has been, so may it continue to be." - Caroline Martin, Managing Director and Founder, Yalukit Marnang.
"When we embarked on exploring the feasibility of this work, we only knew one thing; that we have never felt more ready to tell a significant, Victorian story that shows the country and the world the resilience, benevolence and strength of Koorie people." – Rachael Maza, Artistic Director/Co-CEO, ILBIJERRI Theatre Company
"Bagurrk is a story that has never been told but one that has shaped a nation. It will be a legacy piece for all Victorians; a landmark work that will shape the way that we move forward together as a people." – Lydia Fairhall, Executive Producer/Co-CEO, ILBIJERRI Theatre Company.

The Wentworth at Parklane is a assisted living community located in Salt Lake City that offers senior living and care services.
FamilyAssets has estimated the cost of The Wentworth at Parklane assisted living Facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Wentworth at Parklane is 100% the cost of assisted living in Salt Lake City and 100% the cost of assisted living in Utah.
Assisted living and memory care services can be helpful for many older adults, but some retirees prefer a "less is more" approach to senior care. The Wentworth at Parklane understands the Salt Lake City community's need for quality independent living programs and aims to provide with their long-term care services.
Like an assisted living facility, the Wentworth at Parklane services home-style, nutritious meals in their three dining rooms daily. When residents choose not to prepare meals in their independent living apartments, they can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in a dining room with their friends.
In addition to the Wentworth at Parklane's dining rooms, the community offers an in-house theater, an activity room, and a library. Residents can go to the facility's on-site barbershop and beauty salon for a quick trim without leaving the campus. These amenities take senior living at the Wentworth to the next level, making it stand apart from other independent living communities in the area.
Independent living communities like the Wentworth at Parklane offer an exceptional alternative to assisted living services for older adults who want to downsize, but short-term care programs are available by request for those who receive personal care at home. When a person receives care from a family member, they may need a temporary caregiver while theirs is away. Individuals who need short-term care can stay at the Wentworth at Parklane, enjoying the retirement community while they receive temporary personal care.
When a person decides to sell their home and wants to downsize, community-based living can be an excellent next step. Communities like the Wentworth at Parklane aim to bridge the gap between living at home and living in an assisted living community with their approach to senior care. To learn more about the Wentworth at Parklane retirement community, their housekeeping services, their senior housing options, or their community-based living programs, prospective residents can tour the facility and see it in-person. The community's staff are happy to answer questions about their long-term care programs and explain how their senior living community differs from a memory care or assisted living community. Touring the facility is free, and prospective residents can enjoy a complimentary lunch during the experience.
Great community, love working here.

Q: Simplest Schrödinger equation with both continuous and residual spectrum Consider a Schrödinger equation:
$$-\frac{\text{d}^2}{\text{d}x^2}f(x)+U(x)f(x)=Ef(x),$$
I need a $U(x)$ satisfying the following:

*

*The Schrödinger equation with it must be solvable purely analytically, without need for any numerics (but using special functions, integrals or series is acceptable — the main point is that they must be explicit, not yet another equation to solve)

*$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} U(\pm x)=0$

*$\exists a,b: U(x)<0\;\forall x\in[a,b]$

I.e. $U(x)$ should represent some potential well, which would have both free and bound states.
Boundary conditions are imposed at some points $q$, $r$. Changing locations of these points shouldn't affect analytical solvability of the BVP.
Are there any such $U(x)$? If yes, what are examples?
Examples of what does not answer the question are:

*

*finite square potential well, because to solve it one has to solve transcendental equations, which need numerics

*$\delta$-shaped potential well, since despite it can be solved analytically for infinite space, it still results in transcendental equation when $x\in[q,r]$

A: Although one can't solve a problem of finite square well in closed form, it's still possible to give an explicit expression for the solution in terms of series or integrals. First, the solution in terms of series for the problem in infinite space is given in R Blümel 2005 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 38 L673.
Here I'll present my solution in terms of integrals for the case when boundary conditions are set symmetrically at $x=\pm b$ and the potential well's steps are at $x=\pm a$, $a<b$. For details of derivation, see this page (press "Download PDF" in the bottom right corner to get a readable local version). Here I'll only list the results.
So, here's the potential:
$$U(x)=\begin{cases}
+\infty & |x|>b,\\
U_0 & a\le|x|\le b,\\
0 & |x|<a,
\end{cases}$$
where $U_0>0$, $a>0$, $b>a$. I'll use the following variables (with $k_I$ being "wavevector" in space where $|x|<a$):
$$\xi=k_I a,\;\gamma=\sqrt{U_0} a,\;\beta=\frac b a,\;z=\frac xa.$$
Wavefunctions in general form
Then the wavefunction for odd parity states for $x\ge0$ will be
$$\begin{align}
\psi_I(z)&=\sin\xi z,\\
\psi_{II}(z)&=\frac{\sin\xi}{\sin\left(\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}(\beta-1)\right)}\sin\left(\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}\left(\beta-z\right)\right).
\end{align}$$
For even parity states, it takes this form for $x\ge0$:
$$\begin{aligned}
\psi_I(z)&=\cos\xi z,\\
\psi_{II}(z)&=\frac{\cos\xi}{\sin\left(\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}(\beta-1)\right)}\sin\left(\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}\left(\beta-z\right)\right).
\end{aligned}$$
For $x<0$ this should be reflected according to the parity of state (i.e. even state wavefunctions obey $\psi(-x)=\psi(x)$, odd ones $\psi(-x)=-\psi(x)$).
The spectral equation for $\xi$ will take the form
$$f^\pm(\xi)=0,$$
where
$$\newcommand{\sinc}{\operatorname{sinc}}
\newcommand{\floor}[1]{\lfloor#1\rfloor}
\newcommand{\ceil}[1]{\lceil#1\rceil}
\newcommand{\hfloor}[1]{\left\lfloor#1\right\rfloor}
\newcommand{\hceil}[1]{\left\lceil#1\right\rceil}
f^-(\xi)=(\beta-1)\sinc\left((\beta-1)\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}\right)\cos\xi+\cos\left((\beta-1)\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}\right)\sinc\xi$$
for odd parity states, and
$$f^+(\xi)=(\beta-1)\xi\sinc\left((\beta-1)\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}\right)\sin\xi-\cos\left((\beta-1)\sqrt{\xi^2-\gamma^2}\right)\cos\xi$$
for even parity states.
Root separators
Now we'll find root separators for even and odd parity states.
Odd case
Define
$$\xi^-_a(m)=\begin{cases}
\frac{-\pi m+(\beta-1)\sqrt{(\beta-2)\beta\gamma^2+\pi^2m^2}}{\beta(\beta-2)}&\mathrm{if}\;\;\pi m\ge\gamma\\
\pi m&\mathrm{otherwise}
\end{cases},$$
$$\begin{align}
m^-_{1c}(m)&=\hceil{\frac{\xi^-_a(m)}{\pi}},\\
m^-_{2c}(m)&=\hceil{\Re\left\{\frac{\beta-1}\pi\sqrt{(\xi^-_a(m))^2-\gamma^2}\right\}},
\end{align}$$
$$\begin{align}
\xi^-_{1c}(m)&=\pi m^-_{1c}(m)\\
\xi^-_{2c}(m)&=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\pi m^-_{2c}(m)}{\beta-1}\right)^2+\gamma^2},
\end{align}$$
Now this is the root separator for the odd case
$$\xi^-(m)=\min(\xi^-_{1c}(m),\xi^-_{2c}(m)),$$
where $m=0,1,2,...$.
Even case
Define
$$\xi^+_a(m)=\begin{cases}
\frac{-\pi(2m+1)+(\beta-1)\sqrt{4(\beta-2)\beta\gamma^2+\pi^2(2m+1)^2}}{2(\beta-2)\beta}&\mathrm{if}\;\;\pi m+\frac\pi2\ge\gamma\\
\pi m+\frac\pi2&\mathrm{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
$$\begin{align}
m^+_{1c}(m)&=\hceil{\frac{\xi^+_a}\pi-\frac12},\\
m^+_{2c}(m)&=\hceil{\Re\left\{\frac{\beta-1}\pi\sqrt{(\xi^+_a)^2-\gamma^2}\right\}},
\end{align}$$
$$\begin{align}
\xi^+_{1c}(m)&=\frac\pi2+\pi m^+_{1c},\\
\xi^+_{2c}(m)&=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\pi m^+_{2c}}{\beta-1}\right)^2+\gamma^2}.
\end{align}$$
The root separator in the even case will be
$$\xi^+(m)=\begin{cases}0&\mathrm{if}\;\;n=-1\\
\min(\xi^+_{1c}(m),\xi^+_{2c}(m))&\mathrm{otherwise},
\end{cases}$$
where $m=-1,0,1,2,...$.
Locating the roots of spectral equations
If we define
$$R=\frac{B-A}2,$$
$$h=\frac{A+B}2,$$
$$z(\varphi)=Re^{i\varphi}+h,$$
where $A$ and $B$ are $m$th and $(m+1)$th root separators, then the root can be found using
$$\xi'=h+R\left[\frac
{\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi} w(\varphi)e^{2i\varphi}d\varphi}
{\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi} w(\varphi)e^{i\varphi}d\varphi}\right],$$
where $w(\varphi)=1/f^\pm(z(\varphi))$.
Summary of computation procedure
Given the number $n$ of the state we want to compute wavefunction for, we do the following:

*

*Select $\xi^+$ for odd $n$ or $\xi^-$ for even $n$, use all the expressions of odd parity states for even $n$ and even parity for odd $n$

*Compute root separators $A=\xi^\pm(\floor{n/2}-1)$ and $b=\xi^\pm(\floor{n/2})$

*Compute the root $\xi'$ of spectral equation

*Substitute the root of spectral equation into expression for wavefunction

*Optionally normalize the wavefunction

If you're trying to determine how well your Website it optimized or if your SEO strategy is going to get you results, then you're going to get a lot out of our SEO Analysis services.
There are two key areas that we look at to ensure that you have a sound SEO strategy in place to achieve results. The first area is the on-page optimization of your Website and the second is the off-page optimization. Let's take a look at each area of SEO analysis starting with the on-page optimization.
From an on-page perspective, we perform a 10-step on-page SEO analysis as part of your SEO services. Let's take a look at each step.
The foundation of any strong SEO campaign is the selection of the right keywords. It is for this reason that we begin by analyzing the keywords that your Website is optimized for. If changes are required to the keywords that your site is optimized for, we will make recommended changes to ensure that you are going after the right keywords for your business.
Once we have confirmed the right keyword list for your business, we ensure that you have the right keyword hierarchy for your Website from your main keyword to your secondary keywords.
After confirming the structure of your Website, we review if your Website has separate Web pages that are properly optimized for each of your keywords.
After reviewing your Web pages, we determine if you have enough keywords and search volume to drive adequate traffic to your Website. Quite often, we see that a site is optimized for certain keywords, but the volume of keywords and the associated search volume are inadequate. As a result, the site does not rank well and fails to drive enough Website visitors even though the site is ranking relatively well.
Once we review the pages of your Website, we then review the internal linking of your pages. It's vital to properly link the pages within your Website to ensure that you share the page rank of your various pages, while making it easy for Google and users to navigate through your site.
At this point, we have a pretty good understanding of the structure of your Website. Next, we look at how often you are producing fresh content. Specifically, we review the volume of fresh content that is being produced on your Website as well as your blog. And we provide recommended changes to maximize results.
Since you have to beat your competition to win the ranking war, we look at the number of pages on your Website versus your competitors. This is a good indication of how much content your site has versus your competitors and how well you are contributing to your market. Generally, the higher the volume of pages the better.
Although your Web pages should be written from an SEO perspective, it's also vital to have well written pages that will maximize the conversion of Website visitors into leads and sales. It is for this reason that we look at how well your pages are written from both an SEO and copywriting perspective.
From an SEO perspective, we check if your Web pages include your keywords in the right places including your URL; page titles; meta descriptions; H1 and H2 headings; body copy; internal links; and other key areas.
We then determine if you have a site map and how it's constructed to ensure that your site can be easily crawled by Google and other search engines, while getting your Web pages indexed and ranking as fast as possible.
Lastly, we check to see how fast your pages are loading, which Google and other search engines take into consideration when ranking your site.
Once we have a good understanding of how your site is performing from an on-page optimization perspective, we then look at the off-page optimization of your site. Specifically, we look at the volume of links that are linking to your Website as well as the quality of those links. And we compare you to your competition.
The bottom line is that if you want to win the ranking war, you have to produce better quality content than them and acquire more high quality links. Through our analysis, we get a good understanding of the types of links that you have versus your competition and make recommended changes from a link-building perspective.
We then review your activity level in social media versus your competitors. More and more, the various search engines are taking social media into consideration when ranking Websites. It's for this reason that we do a complete review of both your social media activity and your competitors.
The bottom line is if you want to succeed in SEO today, you really have to focus on quality to win the ranking war. It's all about creating value for your market and building relationships that will result in good quality links on a monthly basis. And you want to integrate social media as part of your SEO campaign. Shares, likes, and +1's influence your ranking and if you're not engaging with your audience, your competition will.
Through our SEO Analysis, you will gain a complete understanding of what you need to do to outrank your competitors.

Q: strange reuslt when adding integers in JAVA I have some questions about adding integer in JAVA. I have in my code here to add the four numbers: i1, i2, i3, and i4 and put them in i5. But I got a very strange result. Could someone comments?
    int t1 = ((byte) 0xfe) << 24; // equals to -33554432
    int t2 = (((byte) 0xcf) & 0xff) << 16; // equals to 13565952
    int t3 = (((byte) 0x81) & 0xff) << 8; // equals to 33024
    int t4 = (byte) 0x31; // equals to 49
    int t5 = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4; // NOW: why this sum equals to 16711680? I thought
    // this should match the decimal number given by 0xfecf8131 which
    // should be -19955407 (i.e. -19955407 = -33554432 + 13565952 + 33024 + 49)
    int total = 0xfecf8131; // this gives -19955407, so this is printed correctly
    System.out.println("t1: " + t1);
    System.out.println("t2: " + t2);
    System.out.println("t3: " + t3);
    System.out.println("t4: " + t4);
    System.out.println("This should be expected result of i5: " + total);
    System.out.println("i5 = i1 + i2 + i3 + i4 is equal to : " + i5); // this gives 16711680 which seems not correct

Basically what I was trying to do is to output the decimal of a hexadecimal form number like 0xfecf8131. But doing it by adding the contribution of 0xfe00000
and then 0x00cf0000, then 0x000081, then 0x00000031 since I have a program that would requires entering four bytes numbers such as:
0xfe, 0xcf, 0x81, 0x31
and those four will be taken as coming from the first position in memory, second in memory, third position  in memory and fourth position in memory.
But I guess my main question is what is wrong with adding the 4 integers: t1, t2, t3, t4
using this way:
int t5 = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4?

A: Works as expected on my computer. Are you sure you are not mixing i variables and t variables? On the last line you are using i5 and not t5.

Q: what's the difference between redirect and dispatch in phalcon? When I want to change to a page from another, I can find both $this->dispatcher->forward() and $this->response->redirect(). Both seem to work ok.
What's the difference between them, and when should I use one over the other?

A: Broadly speaking, Redirect will do an http redirection (with the header location). It means that the browser of the client will change the page. It processes to a new routing (it can also be used to go to another website) and the actual script will end.
Whereas Forward is internal, the browser of the client wont see any difference, you just execute a different controller.The dispatch loop allows the user to forward the execution flow to another controller/action. This is very useful to check if the user can access to certain options, redirect users to other screens or simply reuse code. But, Keep in mind that making a "forward" is not the same as making an HTTP redirect. Although they apparently got the same result. The "forward" doesn't reload the current page, all the redirection occurs in a single request, while the HTTP redirect needs two requests to complete the process.
Similar analogy can be shown in JSP as well,
The sendRedirect(String path) method of HttpServletResponse will tell the client that it should send a request to the specified path. So the client will build a new request and submit it to the server. The client's history will be updated so the forward and back buttons will work. This method is useful for redirecting to pages on other servers and domains.
The forward method of RequestDispatcher will forward the ServletRequest and ServletResponse that it is passed to the path that was specified in getRequestDispatcher(String path). The response will not be sent back to the client and so the client will not know about this change of resource on the server. This method is useful for communicating between server resources, (servlet to servlet). This method is faster than using sendRedirect as no network round trip to the server and back is required.

De Aston Martin V8 Vantage is een compacte sportwagen van het Britse merk Aston Martin. De V8 Vantage werd voor het eerst aan het publiek getoond tijdens de North American International Auto Show van 2003. Waar het in Detroit nog ging om een conceptmodel werd tijdens de Autosalon van Genève van 2005 het productiemodel onthuld.

Model
Met de V8 Vantage betrad Aston Martin een markt waarin zij nog niet eerder actief was geweest. De compacte sportwagen met een V8-motor is een groot succes voor het Britse merk.
Een jaar na de introductie kwam er ook een V8 Vantage Roadster met een inklapbaar dak op de markt. In 2011 is er een sportievere versie van de auto gepresenteerd op de autosalon van Genève, de V8 Vantage S.

Motorwijziging
In mei 2008 maakte Aston Martin bekend een motorwijziging door te voeren. De 4.3L V8 werd vervangen door een 4.7L V8 om de auto beter te laten presteren. Dit zorgde voor een vermogenstoename van 50pk en een daling van de 0–100 km/h tijd van 5 naar 4,8 seconden.

Q: Writing Junit Test case for merging files in sftp server I am using apache commons VFS to connect to sftp server and write the content of files in /input directory into a single file in /output directory.The names of files in input directory is provided as a List. I am struggling to write Junit  test case for it.My intention is that once the code gets executed, I will compare the contents of file in /input against content of file in /output
public void exportFile(List<String> fileNamesList){
for (String file : fileNamesList){
            try(FileObject fileObject= //getsFileObject
                OutputStream fileOutputStream= fileObject.resolveFile("/output/"+"exportfile.txt").getContent().getOutputStream(true);
            )
                                            fileObject.resolveFile("/input/"+file).getContent().getInputStream().transferTo(fileOutputStream);

            }
            }

I want to write Junit test case for the above. The below is my setup for test case
            @BeforeAll
                  static void setUpSftpServer() throws IOException {
                System.out.println("inside setup ssh");
                sshd= SshServer.setUpDefaultServer();
                    sshd.setPort(1234);
                    sshd.setKeyPairProvider(new SimpleGeneratorHostKeyProvider());
                    sshd.setPublickeyAuthenticator(AcceptAllPublickeyAuthenticator.INSTANCE);
                    sshd.setSubsystemFactories(Arrays.asList(new SftpSubsystemFactory()));
                    sshd.start();
            }

         @Test
            void exportFileTest() throws IOException, URISyntaxException {

                System.out.println("Inside exportFile test");
                FileObject fileObject=getFileObject();
                when(sftpConfiguration.connect()).thenReturn(fileObject);
                myobject.exportFile(Arrays.asList("a.txt"));
               String actualContent=fileObject.resolveFile("/input/a.txt").getContentContent().getString("UTF-8");
 String expectedContent=fileObject.resolveFile("/output/exportFile.txt").getContentContent().getString("UTF-8");
                assertTrue(actualContent.equals(expectedContent));

            }
    static FileObject getFileObject() throws URISyntaxException, FileSystemException {
            String userInfo = "uname" + ":" + "pwd";
            SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder sftpConfigBuilder = SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance();
            FileSystemOptions options = new FileSystemOptions();
            IdentityProvider identityInfo = new IdentityInfo(new File("/fake/path/to/key"), "test".getBytes());
            sftpConfigBuilder.setIdentityProvider(options, identityInfo);
            URI uri=  new URI("sftp", userInfo, "127.0.0.1", Objects.requireNonNullElse(1234, -1), null, null, null);
           FileObject fileObject= VFS.getManager().resolveFile(uri.toString(),options);
           System.out.println("creating file object complete");
           fileObject.resolveFile("/input").createFolder(); //create a folder in the path
           fileObject.resolveFile("/output").createFolder();
           //code  to create a file called a.txt inside /input and write the string "abc" to the file
            return  fileObject;
        }

But I am getting an exception like below
org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException: Unknown message with code "Could not get the user id of the current user (error code: -1)".

This exception I am getting at the line
FileObject fileObject= VFS.getManager().resolveFile(uri.toString(),options);
How do I write the unittest for this case correctly?

A: This is caused by the SftpFileSystem failing to run the command id -u which doesn't exist on some SSH connections such as Windows OpenSSH. It runs this command when attempting to detect the exec channel. Resolve this by adding the following SFTP configuration:
sftpConfigBuilder.setDisableDetectExecChannel(options, true);

Col the Cool One beat me to the punch on this one by a few days, however I saw it today.
I'm afraid this film did not a great deal for me: it's a deliberately gaudy romp with a blatantly 'edgy' outlook, and as such unspools sort of like The Dirty Dozen for those with short attention spans. Not a great deal of originality on view here, with too many characters [never a good idea at the best of times ] and [seemingly deliberate] stilted performances from the cast.
On the plus side, it rattles along at a rapid pace for nearly all the running time, and the Harley Quinn character is nicely subversive. So, in the Grand Scheme of the modern glut of comic-book live-action adaptations, where does this one stand? Well, just say if this were to be compared to the first two Terminator films, this one is the equivalent of Universal Soldier in comparison.
Not a bad film by any means, but there is no real cinematic glue holding the ingredients together strong enough to truly bond with this viewer at least.
Not terrible, but not terribly good either.

Deadpool is Marvel, not DC. Will's character is called Deadshot.

SAUSAGE PARTY *****

----Now, then: I usually avoid reviewing CGI-computer animated cartoons because they are so ten-a-penny nowadays. I do get to see most of them, but the vast majority are forgettable fluff with poor characterization, despite the obvious talent and effort pored into these works.
However! THIS ONE got my full attention: it is a deliciously dark, warped premise: living, cartoon products in Supermarkets are duped by misleading advertising into being brainwashed by into thinking they are heading for a divine, heaven-like existence once they get picked by customers from the shelves: the reality, of course, is the brutal torture and murder of the foodstuffs [from their point of view, of course] once they reach the kitchens of suburbia.
Great imagination and sight-gags in this, and some of the scenarios are clearly very adult and near-the-knuckle: in fact I heard the c-word used at least one time here. There is a vast cast of characters [totally justified in this supermarket setting ] and the not-very-streetwise innocence of the naive cartoon characters' outlook is a major strength here.
Some of the scenes are pretty disturbing, especially the brutality inflicted onto the living vegetables by an unsuspecting housewife once the characters realize the Horror they are subjected to.
A really refreshing change I thought, and yes, it is dark and creepy in many scenes...... and not surprizingly it was tough getting this film the green light.
The over-the-top design and attitude of the living produce-product characters looks like early 30s Max Fleischer cartooning on LSD-laced steroids.
EXCELLENT STUFF, if not for everyone: 5 out of 5
Well I have just returned from my latest cinematic adventure and I can honestly say that Doctor Strange is a 5 out of 5 for me.
Nobody did anything wrong for the entire movie. Benedict Cumberbatch and Tilda Swinton proved why they are top drawer actors and each scene with them was a joy. The CGI was a little overdone, but only by a smidgeon, but the pace of the delivery, the pace of the plot were spot on and a lesson for any other superhero movie makers.
It doesn't get much better than this and I am already thinking that I might sneak back and watch it again.
I liked all the warping cityblock backgrounds, Col---the stuff of MARVEL to be sure.
I might go back and see it also.
FOUR OUT OF FIVE
STAR WARS Rogue One ****
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9abcLLQpI
I am not exactly the worlds' biggest Star Wars fan and to be honest in these films [since 1977 til now] I cannot be bothered to follow the story--which has always seemed to me to be a lot of mystical tosh---however this series always had the top cutting-edge visuals, which probably went a bit too far with the three Star Wars films released from 1999 onwards, and ended up becoming digital effects just for the sake of it.
Happily, the last two films including this one are deliberately holding back on the overdone FX which is now probably polluting most big-budget sci-fi films in the visuals--and in fact, this unspools more like a pared-back, made-for-TV version of Star Wars, harking back to the pre-CGI days when the big-bang climax sequence is anticipated by the audience.
Two flesh-and-blood character actors from the first 1977 film are recreated in pretty impressive CGI and appear in their recognizable original form in newly-minted scenes. I thought this was well-done at any rate.
Other than that, nothing new here has really been constructed from scratch and really this is an opportunity to see famous hardware from the first 1977 film especially recreated from different viewpoints.
Not bad at all and I am sure the devout fans will lap this up.
Rab beat me with Rogue One and it was brilliant.
I am not going to say too much as there are still a lot of people that have yet to see it, but I would put it at 4.8/5. The tie in with the other Star Wars movies was brilliant. The CGI was not too intrusive and the acting throughout was first class.
The only thing that was off for me was the pacing at the start of the movie and the fact that the lighting levels seemed to be aimed at those even more photosensitive than I! However, after the first 20 minutes, either I got used to it or the production team sorted it.
Impressive performances by all, but shout outs to Forest Whittaker, Alan Tudyk, Baze Malbus and Donnie Yen for supporting performances that had two of us SW fans blubbering as we watched it.
And the ending. Oh my god, it was a perfect segue into... well I can't say what but once you watch it, you will realise.
To sum up, the force was strong in this one.
I can't believe none of us posted on the movies of 2017, but I am going to post on the movies of 2018 and the first I have seen is The Shape Of Water. This is the classic B-movie Creature From The Black Lagoon done as a romantic film noir but it is oh so much more than that.
Beautifully shot with not a wasted scene. It is perfectly paced and feels a lot shorter than the 123 minutes running time. Well worth going back for a second showing.
5/5 for me. Now I am going to log into my Coral account and see how much I have to put on that movie for Best Picture!

Q: Updating upload fingerprint in keystore We needed to request new keys from Google for signing our Android app due to an administrative issue in the company. We still have the original keystore used to upload the original version of the app to Google Play.
Google issued a new upload key for our app and their email includes an MD5 and a SHA1 fingerprint. When I run keytool -list -keystore myapp.keystore command against the original keystore, I see the following:

How do I proceed from here? I'm a bit confused because the original keystore only contains one entry which is the SHA-256.
Do I need to generate a new keystore or do I need to import the new MD5 and SHA1 and remove the old SHA-256? I'd appreciate help with this.

Happy Sunday! I really enjoy breezy outfits that you can wear on the weekend from a party to a picnic, and all you have to do is change your shoes. I didn't do those things, but I did end up at a national park near my house, and I changed my shoes. This look has a chilled and natural vibe going on, and it totally worked with the setting. With all of the beautiful foliage, the chirping birds and the grazing deer, I felt like I was in the right place, at the right time, and in the right clothes.

The importance of evidence-based nursing and the need to be research-minded means that all nurses must be aware of research and use it to inform their practice. But how can you find out what research is available? How do you find your way around reports? And how can you decide what research is relevant to your practice? This book will help. Thousands of nurses found the first 2 editions' down-to-earth style and step-by-step guidance invaluable. The new edition will retain and enhance this straightforward approach, but reflect changes in locating and reading research, including the impact of new technologies such as CDROM, Medline and the Internet.

Congress and the Pentagon continue to review the controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of gays in the military. But several U.S. allies have already implemented policies allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the military. Peter Singer is the director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution. He says they found that singling gays out actually makes the issue much worse.

Just wanted to share these, I have a few mechs in mind to make, and was looking for some ideas, when i came across these, I thought they were very cool.
I think the second is my favorite.
Clanky! Gotta love steampunk Mechs! Love the helmets used, just great creativity in that one!
love em... but i'm wondering what that cutesy little bear is doing on that robot chest on the first pic.
Awesome. These have clearly had alot of work put in to them. The second one is the best. Love the steam pieces on the pipes.
It is like a teddy bear tied to the radiator of a semi can.
I like them both, but the econd one is phenomenal.
Makes sense to me. Arent toys tied to radiators on a regular basis?
Yes, actually they are. I see them every time I take a road trip. Used it as a traveling game once even.
Really like these. Dad you going to build me one?
My son up way past his bedtime couldn't sleep, begged me to let him respond, so he has,lol.


The pupils, aged between 16 and 18, work as Red Caps alongside over 200 other young people from all over the diocese. Red Caps carry out a number of important roles throughout the pilgrimage including pushing the wheelchairs of the "malades", guiding the crowds, welcoming people to all the services and handing out water (it is July!). Throughout the week the pilgrims attend Mass in various venues - in Lourdes parish church where Bernadette was baptised, at the Grotto, in the Underground Basilica and up in the Cathedral of the Trees (where it can take 4 Red Caps to pull each wheelchair up the hill to where Mass is celebrated!). We also attend a variety of other services including: healing and penitential services, Torchlight and Blessed Sacrament Processions, the Stations of the Cross and of course the recitation of the rosary. The Red Caps are on duty at all diocesan events as well as attending catechesis sessions with the Cardinal, events laid on by Westminster Youth Ministry, visiting the Grotto and going to the Baths! In Lourdes the days are long, the work is physically and emotionally exhausting but the Red Caps carry out their duties with the utmost respect and humility. These young people could be off partying with their friends in Magaluf or Malia but they choose to come to Lourdes and give selflessly of their time and energy.

More recently, Ardaman participated in the APWA Florida Expo held in Jacksonville Florida, April 16th to 19th. Mark Mongeau represented the Company and presented a well-received educational session on professional practice and leadership titled Everything I Know about Being a Good Engineer I Learned from My Dogs. Ardaman also was an exhibitor in the Exhibition Hall and was visited by a steady stream of public works officials and employees from around Florida to meet our staff, learn about our capabilities and scoop up the traditionally popular Ardaman "giveaways" (the supply of which was exhausted by lunchtime on the exhibit day).
Ardaman & Associates, Inc. serves over 100 public entities in Florida and Louisiana including cities, counties and parishes, and state agencies, and our participation in various APWA events is one way of supporting the valuable work of the many dedicated public servants in our communities.
