New York Yankees lose to Twins in Miguel Andujar's return Miguel Andujar returned from the injured list, and DJ LeMahieu re-entered the Yankees' lineup for the first time since Sunday but the Yankees lost Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/mlb/yankees/2019/05/04/new-york-yankees-lose-twins-miguel-andujar-returns/1094851001/

NEW YORK – Miguel Andujar's presence had instantly made the Yankees lineup deeper and more dangerous.
DJ LeMahieu also re-entered the mix on Saturday, an afternoon where some order was finally restored to a batting order that is still missing some big pieces.
Gary Sanchez even drilled another home run, though the Yankees spent all day chasing and never catching up.

And if it weren't for a home run saving catch by Cameron Maybin, lefty starter J.A. Happ would've fared worse in a 7-3 Twins victory before 43,123 fans at Yankee Stadium.
As the cleanup hitter, Andujar's 1-for-3 with a walk and a deep flyout was countered by two errors at third base – a rough return from a month spent on the injured list.
For someone who initially faced the possibility of season-ending surgery due to a small right labrum tear, "I felt better than I expected,'' Andujar said through an interpreter. "Honestly, (I'm) just excited to be back here.''
Opening day II
Andjuar hadn't played in a big-league game since March 31, when he jammed his shoulder while diving back into third base on a pickoff attempt.
He misplayed the first grounder hit to him, an Eddie Rosario grounder to his left.
Andujar also made two good plays charging grounders by C.J. Cron, and he rejected the idea that his throws were tentative.

So did Boone, who felt that Andujar's seventh-inning throwing error – which cost the Yankees an unearned run – was due to poor footwork.
Andujar rushed and threw off the wrong foot as he attempted to start a double play, with a throw that sailed into right field.
"Just moving around felt good,'' said Andujar, adding that he didn't alter his throwing mechanics because of the injury. "Jut a bad throw, bad execution there.''
Of course, throwing has been the one part of Andujar's game that's been under the most scrutiny; he slashed his way to runner-up status in last year's AL Rookie of the Year balloting.

"Feels good, the rhythm is there'' at the plate,'' Andjuar said.
With a superior defensive third baseman on his roster, Boone sees Gio Urshela getting more starts at third base in the coming days, with Andujar seeing increased time at designated hitter.
"He's one of the guys we've been looking forward to getting back,'' Boone said of Andujar. "The rehab process for him has gone as well as we could have hoped.''
Homer Happ
Entering Saturday, Happ was coming off his best start of the year, seven shutout innings at San Francisco.
Still, "I felt about as good (Saturday) as I've felt just about all year,'' Happ said after giving up two homers and nearly a third.
Maybin's leaping grab at the right field fence robbed Jonathan Schoop of a three-run homer to end the fourth.

It also would've been the second patented Yankee Stadium homer of the day, following Mitch Garver's two-run homer to right in the third.
"The game's changed in a way where guys (can) kind of block the ball the other way, especially in this stadium and put a good swing on it. And sometimes that's enough,'' said Happ, who also yielded solo shot to lefty by C.J. Cron.
Minnesota starter Jake Odorizzi (4-2) tossed six scoreless innings, yielding two hits, while Happ (1-3) lasted 5.2 innings, charged with four runs.
Seven of the nine homers off Happ this year have been hit at Yankee Stadium, but "you've got to live with that and move on and try to pitch away from that scenario, which isn't always easy.
"I expect better results, for sure.''

Playing for the first time since suffering right knee inflammation last Sunday, LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with an RBI single.
But Luke Voit's 42-game on-base streak – which dated to last September – ended with an 0-for-4. It was the longest such active streak in the majors, slashing .316/.416/.658 over that span with 16 home runs.
Sanchez, who clubbed two homers on Friday night, hit his team-leading 11th homer of the year in the eighth, a solo shot.
"Feeling good right now, staying away from swinging at bad pitches,'' Sanchez said through in interpreter. "And looking to keep that consistency going.''

Rethinking That Infamous 'Glee' Photo Shoot
Republish Article
Image by gq.com
By Elissa Strauss November 5, 2010
I, too, thought "uh-oh" when I saw the now infamous "Glee" photo shoot in GQ — see our earlier, related post here — nodding my head in agreement to the chorus of critiques deeming it sexist and even pornographic. But then I remembered what I used to dress like in my early 20s and realized that perhaps I had been too quick to judge. Fine, I never wore underwear as pants while suggestively sucking on a lollipop like Lea Michele does in the photo shoot, but you could certainly say that my wardrobe as a married woman is considerably more modest that many of the Friday night get-ups I used to wear in my early 20s.
Because I am slow to learn, I had a similar knee-jerk reaction when reading Dodai Stewart's response to the article "The Truth About Beauty," by Amy Alkon on Pyschologytoday.com. I instantly sided with Stewart that the article, which encourages women to remain mindful of their outer-beauty and promotes the damaging messages put forth by mainstream women's and men's magazines.
Like Stewart, I was revolted by the closing line from Alkon's piece.
The truth is, like knowledge, beauty is power. So, ladies, read lots of books, develop your mind and your character, exercise the rights the heroes of the women's movement fought for us to have, and strive to become somebody who makes a difference in the world. And, pssst…while you're doing all of that, don't forget to wear lipgloss.
But then, again, I realized that this sounds a little like me. I read, I pray, I vote, I blog about feminism — and I also remember to wear lip gloss. Well not literally — I don't think lip color flatters me — but certainly metaphorically.
And so I find myself on that tight rope between sexism and sexuality — the part of me that worries about the unrealistic expectations on women and the ways in which they distract and harm us, and the part of me that seemingly instinctively, loves beauty, adornment, and well, gaining the attention of the male gaze. This is not something I am always conscious of, nor is it something I put a lot of effort into, but it would be dishonest to deny that this never crosses my mind, or to claim, "I am doing it for me."
Frank Bruni, in his response to the GQ photo-shoot in last Sunday's New York Times Style section, pointed out that this about-face from innocent to, well, slutty is a common pattern for young actresses trying to prove their range.
All began their careers with a preponderance of fans in the bubblegum set and traced the same celebrity arc, by which Disney tiara is exchanged for Victoria's Secret teddy and the sweet princess becomes a sweaty temptress. If she's lucky, she then proceeds quickly to some amalgam of the two, her diversifying mission accomplished. If not, she's Lindsay Lohan, Bruni writes.
Bruni makes a good point by explaining these radical shifts as a chance for young women to mix-up their image, and is correct that because of sexism male stars are not expected to engage in a similar about-face. While I am not a fan of Miley Cyrus's pole-dancing, Christina Aguilera's crotch-less chaps, or the influence in general that pornography has had in pop culture, I do think there is some value in young women exploring their femininity and sexuality. There was for me.
Maybe it had to do with growing up in generation Madonna, but in my early 20s feeling sexy was for the most part a source of power and pride. Like many a third-wavers, I took ownership over my short skirts and cleavage, it was a way to say "sex is mine too." Perhaps if these young women weren't forced into the "bubblegum" image in the first place, they would have taken it down a couple notches when it came time for them to declare that sex is theirs, too.
And while I am certainly more discreet now in my early 30s, I can't pretend I am oblivious to, or actively rebel against, how I look to men — including, most importantly, my husband.

Anti-junta activist vows to fight on amid risk of heavier sentence
Home » Anti-junta activist vows to fight on amid risk of heavier sentence
Submitted on Fri, 11 Sep 2015 - 04:30 PM
Despite the possibility of heavier jail term, an anti-junta activist charged with violating Thai junta's political gathering ban vows to stand firm on principles and fight on.
The Court of Pathumwan District, Bangkok, on Friday morning, 11 September 2015, held the first plaintiff examination hearing on a case of Apichat P., an anti-coup activist, who has been charged with violating the junta's National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)'s Order No. 7/2014, which prohibits any political gathering of more than five persons.
Apichat, a 26 years-old law graduate student was among the first group of people, who were arrested by the coup-maker in the immediate aftermath of the May 2014 coup d'état.
On 23 May 2014, a day after the coup, he was arrested by military officers in front of Bangkok Art and Cultural Center (BACC) in central Bangkok while he was holding a flyers reads "I will not accept barbaric power" while shouting pro-democracy slogans against the coup maker, such as "return the power to the people".
The military detained him under the martial law declared then for seven days before transferring him to Bangkok Remand Prison for another 23 days of detention. Before his release, Apichat's family requested 1,000,000 baht (about 27,751 USD) bail four times, but the court rejected bail, citing flight risk.
Besides the violation of the junta's assembly ban. The prosecutors also indicted Apichat of offenses under Article 215, 216, and 368 of Thailand's Penal Code.
In brief, Article 215 lays out six months jail term or 1,000 baht fine or both to people assembling with 10 persons upwards who threaten to do an act of violence which breaches public order while Article 216 states that such persons shall receive additional three years imprisonment or 6,000 baht fine or both if they disobey the officials order to disperse.
Moreover, Article 368 could land Apichat in prison for an additional 10 days in jail for refusing to comply with the orders of officials whose authorities are invested by law.
At the court today, Lt Pirapan Sansern, the plaintiff, testified that Apichat clearly defied the NCPO's Order No. 7/2014 which was issued on 22 May 2014, the day of the coup.
"The suspect was carrying an anti-junta flyer among other protesters and walked through the crowd to the front role once he saw a line of military officers. He then shouted the anti-coup slogans and tried to encourage other protesters to shout along with him," said Pirapan.
The officer claimed that he was the one who arrested Apichat himself.
According to the suspect, however, the officer who arrested him was not Pirapan, but Col Burin Thongprapai of the Judge Advocate General's Office, an officer who has been involved in many arrests of suspects under Article 112 of the Penal Code, lese majeste law.
Apichat said that he did not do anything wrong and only expressed his opinion against the coup-maker peacefully. "According to the 2007 Constitution, citizens are entitled to protect the rule of law under the constitution and I did just that," said the defendant.
The judge on the case told Apichat and his lawyers that the case is not serious. Therefore, if proven guilty, the sentence is not heavy. But, Apichat said that he will continue to fight on until the end to prove his innocence even though it might result in heavier sentence.
He told Prachatai "I do not accept the authorities of the junta for they are not legitimate and will continue to fight on."
In an earlier interview with iLaw, an online based NGO which documents cases related to freedom of expressions, Apichat said "this is a case about citizens who stood up to protect the [2007] constitution against the coup-maker, who has assumed power through undemocratic means. [I believe] it is a duty of citizens to do so."
Before the hearing today, Apichat submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court asking the court to rule whether Order No. 7/2014 of the junta is against the 2007 Constitution. The court, however, dismissed the petition.
Besides charges on his anti-coup activities, the police also alleged Apichat for defaming the monarchy through posting two facebook messages prior to the coup. Nonetheless, the prosecutors have not finalised whether to press lese majeste charge against him or not.
Apichat is a law graduate student from Thammasat University and is currently working at the Law Reform Commission of Thailand. He has been active in pushing for laws to protect children and LGBT rights in the country, including, other progressive labor laws.

Our Review 4 / 5
Alfred Molina and Alfred Enoch star the first UK revival of John Logan's Red since Michael Grandage directed the play at the Donmar Warehouse. The production first opened in 2009 and went on to win six Tony Awards following a Broadway transfer, including one for Best Play.
Red is about artist Mark Rothko (Molina) and his young assistant Ken (Enoch), and the up and coming artists of the new generation. Rothko is dealt his toughest challenge to date: paint a number of murals for the lavish Four Seasons restaurant.
Red will run at Wyndham's Theatre until 28th July 2018, and opened in May to a string of positive reviews including one from LondonTheatre.co.uk critic Mark Shenton who said the play is "a tense and occasionally ferocious exploration of the price of making art".
Alfred Molina reprises his role from the original Donmar production, for which he received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Play after the show's New York transfer. Molina is best known for his roles in films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Da Vinci Code and Chocolat. His stage roles include the original Broadway production of Art, and a revival of Fiddler on the Roof.
Alfred Enoch is known for playing the role of Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter film series, as well as a role in the NBC series How to Get Away With Murder. Enoch's previous screen credits include Coriolanus at the Donmar Warehouse, Antigone at the National Theatre and Happy New at the Old Red Lion.
Red has set and costume design by Christopher Oram, lighting by Neil Austin and sound design by Adam Cork.
This production will reunite John Logan and Michael Grandage following Peter and Alice with Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw which formed part of MGC's inaugural season in the West End in 2013. Grandage has also announced a production of The Lieutenant of Inishmore, starring Poldark actor Aidan Turner, at the Noel Coward Theatre in 2018.
Red Tickets at Wyndham's Theatre are available now.
Red Synopsis
Under the watchful gaze of his young assistant, and the threatening presence of a new generation of artists, Mark Rothko takes on his greatest challenge yet: to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.

Our Review of Red
Review - Red starring Alfred Molina and Alfred Enoch at Wyndham's Theatre
In Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's majestic, Pulitzer-Prize winning musical Sunday in the Park with George, a person says of French impressionist painter Georges Seurat: "White. A blank page or canvas. His favourite. So many possibilities." (These may just be my favourite lines from any musical). Another song also contains this provocation to any artist: "Anything you do, let it come from you. Then it will be new. Give us more to see." Read more

Just after the Paris attacks on Friday a new notification possibility appeared on Facebook. Users who were in the targeted areas could tell their loved ones that they were safe simply by tapping on the "I'm safe" button the Safety Check feature offered them. If they weren't near the areas where the attacks were conducted, they could simply reassure their loved ones of their safety bu stating that they were elsewhere. This seems to be a feature that could come in extremely handy when there are major catastrophes, such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, or in the case of terrorist attacks, like it was the case on Friday. In these kinds of moments, telecommunications usually can't face the demand, signal drops and users can't communicate, making their loved ones extremely impatient. The Facebook feature allows them to let their friends know they are OK, so they don't have to worry anymore.
Although the Safety Check notification is incredibly useful, and the fact that Facebook decided to make it available after the Paris attacks made it possible for a lot of people to calm their loved ones, the first criticisms didn't take a long time to show up. Some people were incredibly unsatisfied by the fact that it was used after the Paris attacks, but it wasn't made available after the twin suicide bombings in Beirut, saying that Facebook considered it more important to make it available for the Western European countries than for the Western Asian ones.
Facebook chose to answer these allegations on Saturday in a blog post in which they showed that the Safety Check was first created with natural disasters in mind and ever since the first version of the tool was developed in October of 2014, it was only activated when these kinds of events occurred. The notifications were activated following a set of earthquakes, tropical cyclones and a typhoon. According to the representatives of the social network, each time the tool was activated, they had the chance to further improve it. As for the reason why they decided to activate the notifications feature following the Paris attacks even though there weren't any natural disaster, they stated that there was an incredibly intense Facebook activity in the area following the attacks and that at the moment it seemed appropriate for them to activate the notifications. This way people could let everyone know that they were all right in a much simpler way than posting reports on their Facebook pages.
It was the first time they thought of activating the tool in cases other than natural disasters and they will probably use these notifications in similar cases in the future. It has nothing to do with how they evaluate life or the fact that they think that European lives are more valuable than Asian ones, it just wasn't used before in similar cases and this was a first. According to the aforementioned blog post, the activation of the tool following the Paris attacks will change the company's policy around the tool and the situations in which they will activate it in the future. It probably will be activated in similar tragic situations, helping people to stay in touch with their friends and family in difficult moments.
Since we've seen first hand the effect of these Safety Check notifications, having friends in Paris who were in the affected area, we hope that Facebook will activate their tool in every situation the safety of a large number of people is jeopardized. It is extremely reassuring to see that our loved ones are all right, instead of worrying because we can't get a hold of them.

Being surrounded by nature can conjure an appreciation of natural beauty and inner stillness. Tiny moments may be more readily noticed. Sometimes, the experience fosters a connection to something bigger than ourselves.
Artist Dawn Lee takes her experiences and contemplations from her personal excursions into natural habitats and brings them back to her Sayville studio. There, she channels impressions into her art; like the way energy radiates from moving waters or how plant life can dominate the surroundings.
Lee's art is abstract but her work is recognizable as intimate moments from the natural world. Her compositions invoke the sensation of being surrounded by the setting. This is true whether she's making paintings, monoprints or drawings.
For instance, the Resonance painting series captures wild riverbanks reflected in pale waters. Local grasses and phragmites stand tall and form a commanding space in some paintings. Equally prominent are the reflections cast by the aquatic grasses on still water. In these areas, looser brushstrokes impart a relaxed and even lazy mood contrasting against the solid portrayal of the waterside grasses.
In Lee's art, the viewer feels as if they are just outside the scene, standing nearby, perhaps on a wooded bank looking across the water. This is purposeful, said Lee. The compositions conjure her vantage point while kayaking. Lee frequents the Carmans and Peconic Rivers on Long Island. An avid nature enthusiast, Lee goes on wilderness excursions like backpacking in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and kayaking in Alaska with humpback whales.
Her last trip into the Alaskan wilderness got her thinking about the way inland water ebbs and flows. Tidal exchanges on Long Island are around two to three feet. In Alaska, she observed exchanges around 15 feet. Contemplating the slower and expansive water motion resulted in a recent series from Shore to Shore; To Here to There.
Equally important as the subject matter is Lee's exploration of "the integrity of form within an environment" and the visual realization of form. The quality of the lines is another important aspect of her work.
"Each line is an expression of energy," she said.
Lee's latest series combines her love of lines with a close-up of nature's handiwork found in bladderworts, an aquatic plant. The dark plants have "air pots" that cause them to float, Lee said. It also makes them visually interesting. The artworks in this series highlight the bladderwort shapes instead of abstracted landscapes.
They also seem to approach portraiture despite the fact the image is part of an abstract work. Bladderworts are selected by Lee to draw. She gravitates towards those with "an awkward grace" that channel beauty of creation in nature.
Dawn Lee's work will be exhibited at three venues in the upcoming months. Her work is the subject of a two-person show at the C2 Gallery in Patchogue from May 5 to May 31. Her work is included in the exhibition, Eastern Shores, at the Hillwood Museum at C.W. Post in Brookville held from June 5 to July 15. Her art will also appear in Marked Differences at the Kentler International Drawing Space in Brooklyn from June 5 to July 24.
Lee is Chair of the Art Department at St. Joseph's College in Patchogue. She is the Director/Curator of the Omni Gallery in Uniondale and is an independent curator. Lee's work has been shown at the Islip Art Museum, the Alpan Gallery International Invitational, Adelphi University and galleries in New York and Colorado. Lee's artwork can be viewed online at http://www.dawnleeart.com.

Art students draw human physique
November 14, 2018 November 15, 2018 Taylor Walding

Variety Editor
In life drawing class, one of the required courses for a bachelor of fine arts degree, students learn to draw the human physique by sketching undressed models during class.
According to Pam Allen, the chair of the art department, this is the most important class for art students, as they learn to draw what they see as accurately as possible.
"It's not an easy skill," Allen said. "It takes practice, sometimes years." She said working with a live model gives a unique perspective to the artist, which is far better than working from a photograph.
"The human form is the best way to learn your own style," Allen said.
The class is set up with a model posed in the middle of the classroom, with students gathered around him or her in a circle. The models are often students, but the position is open to anyone.
Ivey Vinson, a senior fine arts major from Clanton, took the class in a previous semester. "As far as drawing goes, this is the only class we have that uses real-life, flesh-and-blood models who are usually Troy students, who are posing for us," Vinson said. "It's really interesting, really cool to be able to be able to draw all different kinds of people, all different kinds of body types."
Vinson said the models typically have athletic and strong body types, but she wishes there were more diversity, so they could learn to draw various shapes and sizes.
She said she prefers drawing from a photograph but sees the value in drawing real people.
"I think it is preferred to have a live model because there are just certain things that a camera can't capture," Vinson said. "I don't know. It's like asking a medical student, 'Why can't you just practice on dummies?' like you have to practice on real people in order to see how the human body works the way that it does."
She said the professor, Russell Everett, taught the students to draw people the same way they draw a rock, focusing on shading and skill rather than the intimacy of it.
"When a naked person walks in there, you are literally supposed to objectify them," Vinson said. "Not in a sexual sense, but you are supposed to sit there and think, 'Huh, that's a cool plane. Shade shade shade. Oh, that's a cool line there."
The class is set up professionally with strict regulations and guidelines to protect models and artists. Vinson said while the artists in her class handled things professionally, it was sometimes uncomfortable seeing the models on campus and occasionally hearing their jokes about posing for her.
"I love the relationships with the models," Vinson said. "I did not realize when I went into this class that I would know so many of the people that were modeling. And I knew about six or seven of them … of maybe 10."
She said her favorite things to draw on the human body are the eyes, as they can create a deeper connection with the piece for the viewer.
"Even if it's a full body shot, I love focusing on their face and trying to get their eyes … so that when you look at the drawing I did, no one is going to notice so much if the arm is a little bit off."
One of the models, who asked to remain anonymous, said he wanted to make money and help the class out.
"I was an athlete in high school, and I was used to being around others while not having on full clothing, so it wasn't that big of a jump for me," the model said.
He said his first couple of classes he wore underwear to ease into it and thinks this helped the artists feel more comfortable as well.
"It wasn't just, 'Oh, here's a naked dude in front of you.' It was a gradual progression."
His favorite part about the class was seeing the drawings on paper.
"I always made a point to look at their drawings after class. Some people got really creative. One guy even drew antlers on me."
He also said it was sometimes difficult to sit still in a wide variety of poses. He once held a hammer over his head for the duration of the class, with short breaks in between.
Other poses were easier to hold, where he simply had to sit in a chair and prop his feet up.
"You don't realize how hard it is to stay perfectly still, especially if you're normally a fidgeter."
The job pays minimum wage for models who are clothed in a camisole and bike shorts, and pays $14 per hour for those willing to fully disrobe.

Nice. But, I think I don't quite understand it. is return value always to the point we iterate ?

koborC on Dec. 17, 2020, 12:46 a.m.

A function which has yield expressions is called generator.

Calling it returns a generator iterator, .__next__() of which returns(yields) value of yield statement.

Reading Progress:
Compassion in Action Student Spotlight
What would it look like to serve young people, those at the forefront of changing the world while also embarking on a journey of waking up?
To answer this question and support the next generation of change-makers, we launched the Compassion in Action Fellowship— a yearlong inner & outer change journey that helps undergraduate students learn meditation practice, build community, and engage in meaningful social change.
This year, we are joined by 15 students leading campus and community-based chapters that host weekly or bi-weekly learning circles, social events, team meetings, and opportunities to help create a more just, compassionate, and connected world.
You can read all about the program HERE. Over the coming weeks and months we will feature the students who are the heart of Compassion in Action.
With immense joy and admiration, we introduce you to Priya, a fellow at Temple University.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm a Senior completing my final year at Temple! I possibly want to pursue law school after graduation so I can become a civil rights attorney.
What's your major and why did you choose it?
I'm pursuing a Bachelor's in Communication and Social Influence. I chose this major because I longed to be a part of something larger than myself. I'm passionate about advocating for people who may not have a voice due to systemic oppression, and I really wanted to get involved with a community of like-minded people also interested in social justice. I specifically focus on the lens of conflict resolution.
What drew you to the CiA Fellowship?
The word "compassion" is what initially drew me to this program. I was seeking out a loving space to cultivate a more positive life for myself and others.
What are your goals for the semester?
As I approach the final couple weeks of the semester, I'm just trying to get through finals! My chapter was fortunate enough to have 10 Learning Circle meetings, and I'm happy to see how much we've all flourished. I hope I can end the semester stress-free and on a strong note.
What's been happening in your chapter (if your chapter is underway)?
Our chapter hosted our closing ceremony for the semester at the end of November.
What types of meditations are currently resonating with you and why?
I love practicing Tonglen meditation, because it brings me back to my most grounded, intentional, and loving self. Extending compassion to others brings me great joy and when I practice Tonglen, I feel so in touch with the collective consciousness.
What social causes do you feel passionate about and why?
The #MeToo movement is close to my heart, as well as advocating for victims of domestic violence.
If you could invite anyone to dinner alive or deceased who would that be?
The singer FKA Twigs.
What does a more compassionate world look like to you?
A more compassionate world to me is one that swaps out power, competition, and greed for kindness, love, and boundless altruism.
Do you have a favorite quote or mantra?
"If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete." Jack Kornfield
How can people join your chapter?
Reach out to info@namchak.org and ask about Compassion in Action at Temple University.
Thank you for sharing, Priya! We hope your semester ended on a strong note!
Stay tuned to meet more of the fellows and learn about how they are changing the world!

An online retail expert says New Zealand can be a lucrative market for start-ups as long as they localise their offering, after online shoe store StyleTread announced its New Zealand launch.
StyleTread, founded in 2010 by Mark Rowland and Bjorn Behrendt, is an online shoe store featuring more than 65,000 shoes and accessories, and has grown to more than 70 staff.
The Sydney-based business prides itself on service, attracting more than one million visitors per month and 60,000 Facebook fans, as well as having a repeat buyer rate of more than 40%.
It has also introduced a three-hour delivery service in Sydney.
Earlier this year, StyleTread attracted a $12 million investment from Melbourne-based venture capital firm Starfish Ventures.
StyleTread has now launched in New Zealand, offering free next day delivery, a 365-day free returns policy and a dedicated website.
According to Rowland, "New Zealand shoe lovers have told us they want StyleTread operating on their shores, and we have listened".
"We are excited to offer free next day delivery and a 365-day free returns policy to our Kiwi friends. There is something for everyone," Rowland said in a statement.
Michael Fox, co-founder of online shoe store Shoes of Prey, also in Sydney, says his business expanded into New Zealand and Asia simultaneously.
"For us, because we ship directly from China, we can ship to anywhere in the world," he says.
Fox says New Zealand is an attractive market because of its cultural similarities to Australia. He also believes a lot of media coverage is "shared" between the two countries.
In addition, Fox says New Zealand consumers are generally more appreciative of new services than, say, consumers in the United States.
"It's amazing to compare the difference between US consumers and New Zealand consumers," he says.
However, that's not to say there aren't challenges associated with the New Zealand market.
"I used to work for Super Cheap Auto. They launched in New Zealand and one of the mistakes they made early on was assuming it was identical to the Australian market," he says.
Fox says it's important to research your particular product category before entering a new market, and to tweak your offering accordingly.
"Facebook and some other businesses use New Zealand as a testing market – it has a western population and is a relatively small size," he says.

National parks hit visitation records
Felicia Fonseca
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Many of the country's most prominent national parks, including Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Zion, set new visitation records in 2015 and are bracing for what could be an even busier new year.
The National Park Service celebrates its 100th birthday in 2016 and has been urging Americans to rediscover the country's scenic wonders or find new parks to visit through marketing campaigns that include giving free passes to every fourth-grader and their families.
So the attendance records could be short lived, with even bigger crowds expected next year.
"Everybody's getting psyched and ready for it," said Yellowstone spokeswoman Sandra Snell-Dobert. "We want people to have a good experience when it comes to our national parks. We're trying to keep that wonderful experience while managing large numbers of people."
On track for 300M
Overall visitation to national parks is on track to hit 300 million in 2015, besting last year's all-time high of nearly 293 million. Absent December totals, Grand Canyon in northern Arizona hit almost 5.3 million visits. Zion in Utah is over 3.5 million. Yellowstone, which stretches into Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is nearing 4.1 million. Yosemite in California is about 220,000 visits shy of the 1996 record—4.2 million — with November and December still left to count.
The past year has meant some adjusting for parks as they manage the crowds. Yosemite lowered the entrance fees during the late fall and winter partly to encourage visitors to consider times other than the busy summer. Zion extended its shuttle bus service when the parking lots became too full for people to access the canyon. It also brought in interns to help study peak times.
The Grand Canyon opened up its residential and employee entrance at the South Rim to those who already had passes over holiday weekends and plans to do the same in 2016. It's also ramped up hiring for entrance gate employees but will move them around jobs so they don't get burned out, said Grand Canyon revenue and fee business manager Marlon Avantyr.
"We survived this year pretty much unscathed, just tired, but in a good way," he said. "We have a good plan and a good idea of what to expect, so we're hoping to stay ahead of the curve."
Managing crowds
More signs around national parks will help direct traffic and officials plan to use social media to help visitors better plan their trips. Park officials say they'll rely more on seasonal workers, interns and volunteers who might suggest less-busy areas to visit or alternate times. The Park Service's fiscal year 2016 budget includes $8 million for seasonal employees during the centennial, the agency said.
Some decisions on crowd-management will be made on the fly, said Zion spokeswoman Aly Baltrus.
"We're constantly looking for what's needed," she said. "But at this point we don't have an influx of funds, so we're rearranging things as best as we can."
At nearly 2,000 square miles, the Grand Canyon has plenty of room for visitors to branch out for river trips, backcountry hikes and to dozens of lookout points. However, the South Rim remains the most popular tourist spot. Just this year, the park proposed charging at least $5 for day hikes beyond 5 miles on major trails from the north and south rims to ease congestion.
The upcoming year will bring dark skies programs, a Theodore Roosevelt impersonator and historical steam engines to the Grand Canyon. But it won't be all about the Grand Canyon. Workers will be talking up other Arizona parks that don't get as much attention.
"Grand Canyon promotes itself," said Vanessa Ceja-Cervantes, the park's centennial community outreach assistant. "We have to do very little to get people to come out to the park."

Same campaign, differing agendas : analysing news media coverage of the 2005 General Election
posted on 2008-01-28, 17:29 authored by David Deacon, Dominic Wring, Peter Golding
This analysis of the 2005 general election focuses on the way the formal campaign was reported, in their different ways, by national and local broadcasters and newspapers. Having assessed how much attention the various news media devoted to the election, Norris et al's (1999) tri-partite distinction between the so-called 'stop watch', 'agenda' and 'directional' balances is applied to explore the relative prominence and positive/negative attention given to competing actors and issues. The analysis also compares how the major respective broadcasters and newspapers covered the campaign from their national (UK wide, Scottish and Welsh) and local (East Midlands) perspectives. There is further discussion of how the rival sectors (i.e. 'popular', 'mid-market' and 'quality' press, radio and television) reported the election in quite distinctive ways for their particular audiences. Various other themes, notably the 'presidential', 'soundbite', partisan and gendered nature of the coverage are considered. It is demonstrated how certain news media promoted the issues of 'Iraq', 'Immigration and Asylum' and 'Impropriety' onto the agenda at different stages during the campaign. By comparison other important policy areas were largely neglected. The conclusion discusses whether it is still possible to conceive of a singular 'media agenda' during a general election campaign.

Under camber on the U/S requires paying close attention when ironing on the covering. Tack at trailing edge, sides, and leading edge. Do not pull tight, just as placed flat on surface is good enough. Then slowly feed in heat with a sock covered iron, slowly you will see the wrinkles disappear as you nail the covering to the under cambered portion first of the underside.
With time work towards the edges, and finally the edges can be finished and trimmed out.
Note: tack all round only or else you will have a mess and can start over with a new sheet, but don't seal the edges as they may need to give away as you work there later.
I'm going to add a neoprene wear strip on the belly forward of the tow hook.
The leading edge on the inner panel of the right wing is in place and shaped.
That wraps things up, yup there's glue in there and I have it held together. Watch for the uneventful picture of the wing as one piece, soon !!
Oops, put the top sheet on the last inner panel and forgot to cut the opening for the spoiler in the bottom sheet beforehand.
The original Sagitta's had springs between a couple hooks anchored in the roots of the wings.
A day later I can move on.
Oh yes there's some detail here of the rudder with a couple hinges in place.
I decided to add a bit of a guide for the canopy, to control left right movement.
inner panel , I'm happy so far, there's a few more steps to go, and these darn things have to be handled with care.
Flat tip panel will be the way this is done.
CF spar 6 mm, cf trailing edge. 10 Inch extensions.
Tow hook, CG behind the center of wingrod by 3/8 inch. I have slotted app 3/4 inch just forward of the CG and then back.
1/64 plywood sheet for the inner and outer wing panels. The outer panels will get extended or replaced perhaps to extend this to a 120 Inch wingspan plane.
Not sure what needs to be hacked off, don't have a good enough picture.
Yes, It would be nice to do a Canopy like on the Airtronics 900 Kits, that also secures the cover between the wings.
Not a fan of springs, thoughts on wing retention would also be appreciated?
I went with Option C when I extended the Elio tips to create the Elio X.
I also like option C, but Option A is appealing as well esthetically…..
As for the pushrods – please use a set of the extra carbon rods I sent you. I was thinking that very thought this morning as I was going through my mental checklist (which is usually very short).
I have some thoughts on how to pass the servo spoiler wire through the fuse and hooking up to a lead coming out of the RX….anyway, we can chat about that later.
I was also thinking of hacking off part of the fiberglass nose decking to make a wood nose cover similar to the wood 900 kits – I like how it slides onto fuse and meets the wing turtle deck.
I would like something similar done to the Oly III too……it gives complete access to the whole nose section.
Just my 2 cents – your mileage may vary….

IN THE MATTER OF N.L.
Present: Hadley, P.J., Poehler & D'Angelo, JJ.
Melanie S. Lewis for the respondent.
D'ANGELO, J. On March 29, 2017, a petition for commitment pursuant to G.L. c. 123, § 35 was filed by the respondent's father. After a hearing, an order of commitment was issued and the respondent appealed. We have considered this appeal and have determined that the order of commitment was not supported by clear and convincing evidence and must be vacated.
At the hearing on the petition, Dr. Alan Schonberger ("Schonberger"), a licensed psychologist and a designated forensic psychologist, was the only witness. Prior to testifying, the doctor interviewed the petitioner, spoke to the respondent's mother by telephone, and interviewed the respondent. Dr. Schonberger testified that the respondent's parents reported that their daughter was unemployed, was homeless, and was in a physically abusive relationship. The respondent's parents recently had only limited contact with her. The petitioner said he had not had any direct contact for approximately a month prior to the hearing. The respondent's mother indicated that over the past month, she had been in the respondent's presence only on the day prior to the hearing. However, the respondent's mother stated that she had received four telephone calls from the respondent in the past month. The mother told the doctor that the respondent had acknowledged over the telephone that she had a drug problem and said that she wanted help. The mother had also reported that in the course of the same day, the respondent had climbed a ladder to the second floor of the home and had been outside banging on the second-floor window, and had fallen down some stairs. It was unclear based on the testimony what the condition of the respondent was during this episode the day prior to the hearing.
drugs in her body. The respondent declined to sign a release, and the doctor could not verify any of this information with DCF.
Under G.L. c. 123, § 35, a petition for an order of commitment of a person believed to have a substance use disorder may be filed by a police officer, physician, spouse, blood relative, guardian, or court official in any division of the District Court or the Juvenile Court. Id. When the respondent appears in court, a qualified physician, psychologist, or social worker must examine her. Id. The hearing on the petition follows the examination, and it must include competent medical testimony and the petitioner may testify and introduce evidence. Id. If the judge finds, based on clear and convincing evidence, that (1) the respondent has a substance use disorder as defined in § 35, and (2) there is a "likelihood of serious harm" as a result of the respondent's substance use disorder, the judge may order the respondent committed to a suitable facility for a period not to exceed ninety days. Id.
Likelihood of serious harm may be established by a showing of: "(1) a substantial risk of serious physical harm to the respondent; (2) a substantial risk of serious physical harm to other persons; or (3) a very substantial risk of physical 'impairment or injury' to the respondent resulting from an inability to protect himself or herself in the community." Matter of G.P., 473 Mass. 112, 117 (2015), citing G.L. c. 123, § 1. The first prong requires a showing of "'evidence of, threats of, or attempts at, suicide or serious bodily harm' to the respondent." Id. at 125, quoting G.L. c. 123, § 1. The second prong requires "homicidal or other violent behavior or evidence that others are placed in reasonable fear of violent behavior and serious physical harm to them." Id. at 126, quoting G.L. c. 123, § 1. The third prong requires a higher level of proof than the first two. "[A] 'very substantial' risk is not the same as a 'substantial' risk, and requires more certainty that the threatened harm will occur." Id. at 128. "[P]roof that the respondent is a chronic alcoholic or substance abuser, by itself, is insufficient to establish a very substantial risk." Id. Very substantial risk is "to be shown by evidence that (1) the respondent's judgment is so adversely affected by the abuse of alcohol or drugs that the respondent cannot protect himself or herself from physical harm, and (2) the respondent's community does not include any reasonably available external source of adequate protection." Id. at 128-129.
Also, to establish a likelihood of serious harm, a showing of imminence is required. See Matter of G.P., supra at 127, 129. A "petitioner must demonstrate a substantial and imminent risk of serious injury to the respondent or to others on account of the respondent's alcohol or substance abuse, or both." Id. at 127. When a court determines whether a substance use disorder presents a "very substantial risk" under the third prong of the statute, the imminence of the risk is a factor that is given greater consideration than with respect to the other two prongs. Id. at 129.
In this case, there was no evidence of threats of or attempts at suicide or serious bodily harm to the respondent. Therefore, a commitment order under the first prong was not supported by the evidence. Similarly, there was no evidence that established a substantial risk of serious physical harm to others under the second prong. Therefore, the issue to be determined on appeal is whether there was sufficient evidence to support a finding of a very substantial risk of physical impairment or injury to the respondent resulting from her inability to protect herself in the community.
We note, as we did in Matter of D.S., 2017 Mass. App. Div. 157, that there is no statutory requirement for a judge at a hearing pursuant to G.L. c. 123, § 35 to issue findings, written or otherwise. Id. at 159. The hearing judge could have relied on the testimony of Dr. Schonberger. The credibility and weight of the evidence are for the fact finder. Demoulas v. Demoulas, 428 Mass. 555, 565 (1998). How a hearing judge weighs the evidence and gauges the credibility of witnesses is entitled to deference by this Division. Custody of Eleanor, 414 Mass. 795, 800 (1993) (because trial judge has opportunity to observe witness demeanor and assess candor, appellate courts are especially reluctant to review trial judge's assessment of witness credibility). The only evidence presented at the hearing on this issue was the information the doctor learned from the respondent's mother and father. In summary, the judge who presided at the commitment hearing could have found that the respondent was homeless and unemployed; that she had a history of past opiate use; and that she had in the past month expressed to her mother a desire for some type of help regarding her drug use. The judge also could have found that on the day before the hearing, the respondent had climbed a ladder and had banged on a second-floor window, and that she had fallen down some stairs.
An order of commitment under G.L. c. 123, § 35 results in a substantial curtailment of liberty, and therefore, there must be evidence that the danger or risk of harm on account of the alcohol or substance abuse at issue was imminent and that the person's judgment is so affected that she is unable to protect herself in the community. See Matter of G.P., supra at 128. The fact that a respondent is a chronic alcoholic or substance abuser, by itself, is insufficient to establish a "very substantial risk" of harm under the third prong. Id. In the case at bar, the evidence was unclear as to when the respondent last abused drugs, and the only evidence of recent "risk" was the episode from the day before where the respondent tripped on some stairs.
[Note 1] Although the respondent's commitment order has ended, this appeal is not moot. The Supreme Judicial Court has recently stated, "Appeals from expired or terminated commitment . . . orders . . ., like appeals from expired harassment prevention orders (G.L. c. 258E) or expired abuse prevention orders (G.L. c. 209A), 'should not be dismissed as moot where the parties have a continuing interest in the case.' At the very least a person who has been wrongfully committed or treated involuntarily has 'a surviving interest in establishing that the orders were not lawfully issued'" (citations omitted). Matter of F.C., 479 Mass. 1029 (2018). The same analysis applies to G.L. c. 123, § 35 commitments.
[Note 2] Because we reverse the order of commitment on the sufficiency of the evidence, we do not need to reach other issues raised by the respondent.

Rosie – the Rose Voucher Recording System for Traders
The Rose Voucher Recording System for Traders (hereby referred to as 'Rosie') is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) – for more information about PWAs, please see https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/
Rosie is owned by Alexandra Rose Charity (referred to here as ARC or "we") whose registered office is Suite 5B, The Oast House, 5 Mead Lane, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7DY. ARC is registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales – Charity Number 211535.
ARC takes your privacy very seriously. The policies and procedures we have in place are to protect the integrity and confidentiality of personal data, to comply with data protection legislation including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from 25th May 2018.
The GDPR applies to 'personal data' meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. This definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers to constitute personal data, including name, identification number, location data or online identifier, reflecting changes in technology and the way organisations collect information about people.
Rosie has four user-categories to which this Privacy Policy applies:
Trader - People or Organisations which operate market stalls or other retail outlets
User - People who can log in to the site & are authorised to use it on behalf of Traders
Admin – staff from ARC and its technology partners who will support Rosie
System Administrator – staff from technology services that maintain our data servers
This Privacy Policy also forms part of our Terms of Use – please see section 2 below.
Under GDPR, we have determined that the lawful basis for ARC processing Rosie users' personal data is 'Legitimate Interests'. Broadly speaking, Legitimate Interests means that we can process personal information of Rosie users if we have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming any of their rights and interests.
In practice, this means that when you provide your personal data to us for Rosie, we process your data as part of the day-to-day management the Rose Voucher Project, which is part of our legitimate business interests to carry out our charitable mission & purposes, including tackling poverty and diet related ill-health, strengthening local markets and helping to build more sustainable local food economies.
We also carefully consider your interests as a Rosie user and the impact of ARC processing your personal data, including how you benefit from Rosie, how important those benefits are and if the processing of your personal data is necessary, proportionate and reasonable.
Our balanced assessment is that ARC processing the personal data of Rosie users is necessary, proportionate and reasonable, and is clearly in the interests of ARC for its charitable purposes and, crucially, it is clearly in the interests of Traders for the important economic benefits of the Rose Voucher Project, including increased income, customers & trade for their businesses.
How and Why We Collect Personal Data
Signing up for a Rosie account requires a user to provide certain basic information to set up & operate the account:
Providing this information means that ARC and its technology partners can effectively manage and develop Rosie and keep users up-to-date with useful reminders and notifications. Providing an email address also means that users have a means of resetting their password. Personal financial information such as bank account details are not gathered or stored in Rosie (although Traders need to supply bank account details separately to ARC, so they can receive payment for Rose Vouchers via BACS).
The GDPR contains important rights for individuals:
The right to be informed – ARC has an obligation to provide 'fair processing information', typically through a Privacy Notice such as this document. This is about ARC being transparent about how we use people's personal data.
The right of access – ARC will provide, on request by an individual, a copy of the personal data ARC holds about them free of charge. This is called a 'subject access request' and ARC will respond as soon as we possibly can, but at the latest within one month of receipt of a request.
The right to rectification - Individuals are entitled to have personal data rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
The right to erasure - This also known as 'the right to be forgotten'. The broad principle underpinning this right is to enable an individual to request the entire deletion or removal of all personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. The right to erasure does not provide an absolute 'right to be forgotten', but individuals have a right to have personal data erased and to prevent processing in specific circumstances:
Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected/processed.
When the individual withdraws consent.
When the individual objects to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing.
The right to restrict processing - Individuals have a right to 'block' or suppress processing of personal data. When processing is restricted, ARC is permitted to store the personal data, but not further process it. ARC can retain just enough information about the individual to ensure that the restriction is respected in future.
The right to object - Individuals have the right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) and processing for purposes of historical research and statistics. The GDPR defines "profiling" as any form of automated processing intended to evaluate certain personal aspects of an individual, in particular to analyse or predict their economic situation, health, personal preferences, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling - The GDPR provides safeguards for individuals against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken without human intervention.
Please note, the Right to data portability under GDPR does not apply when Legitimate Interests is used as the lawful basis for data processing.
To contact ARC about exercising any of these rights, e.g. to make a subject access request or to rectify personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete, please email [email protected] To find out more about your rights you can also visit https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/
Surveys and Evaluation Activities
From time to time, ARC may run surveys through Rosie. Surveys may offer you the option to provide your email address for further contact from ARC's evaluation team.

If you choose to receive electronic communications from ARC (such as newsletters and fundraising information by email), then we will need your consent to communicate with you in this way. This is because such communications may be deemed to be 'marketing' for which your explicit consent would be required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), which sit alongside the GDPR.
Our website contains all the necessary information regarding consent and opting in to receive electronic communications. ARC only uses email addresses to send relevant information. We do not pass on personal data to third parties unconnected with ARC. Recipients can unsubscribe simply by clicking the link at the foot of ARC's emails or by emailing [email protected]
Disclosure and Transfer of Your Personal Data
We do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose personal data with any other parties other than as set out in this Privacy Policy. Your data is stored securely and in line with data protection law. Legislation does however permit certain disclosures without consent when the information is requested for one or more of the following purposes:
To safeguard national security;
Prevention or detection of crime including the apprehension or prosecution of offenders;
Assessment or collection of tax duty;
Discharge of regulatory functions (includes health, safety and welfare of persons at work);
To prevent serious harm to a third party;
To protect the vital interests of the individual - this refers to life and death situations.
All requests to provide personal data for one of the above reasons will be specifically authorised by ARC's Business Administrator.
We may make changes to Rosie to add new features. As a result of these changes & if there are any changes in the law, we may make changes to how we process your Personal Data. If and when we make such changes, we will update this Privacy Policy, so please check it regularly.

Q: Swift 5.2 and UnsafePointer In Swift 5.2, there is an issue that triggers UB for using UnsafePointer. ( https://github.com/TakeScoop/SwiftyRSA/issues/183 and https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/415437#415437 )
I would like to know why it happened and what changes trigger this issue, though I am not an expert on LLVM nor swift.
After searching, https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/27695 emits new warnings about unsound pointer conversions but I don't understand what it means.
Consider this code that triggers warning on Swift 5.2:
import Foundation

func copy(items: Array<UInt8>) -> Data {
    puts("Hello")
    // First version, using UnsafePointer conversion
    let result = Data(bytes: UnsafePointer<UInt8>(items), count: items.count)
    // Second version, without UnsafePointer
   // let result = Data(items)
    puts("World")
    return result
}

In https://godbolt.org/z/jq8KZN , with optimization enabled, the second version calls the constructor of (Foundation)Data with surrounded by swift_retain / swift_release pair. However, the first version doesn't have such codes:
First Version:
    lea     rdi, [r13 + 32]
    mov     rsi, qword ptr [r13 + 16]
    add     rsi, rdi
    call    ($s10Foundation4DataV15_RepresentationOyAESWcfCTf4nd_n)
    mov     r12, rax

Second Version:
    mov     rdi, r13
    call    swift_retain@PLT
    lea     rdi, [rip + ($sSays5UInt8VGMD)]
    call    __swift_project_boxed_opaque_existential_1
    mov     rax, qword ptr [rax]
    lea     r12, [rax + 32]
    mov     r14, qword ptr [rax + 16]
    add     r14, r12
    mov     rdi, r13
    call    swift_retain@PLT
    mov     rdi, r12
    mov     rsi, r14
    call    ($s10Foundation4DataV15_RepresentationOyAESWcfCTf4nd_n)
    mov     r14, rax
    mov     r12, rdx
    mov     rdi, rbx
    call    __swift_destroy_boxed_opaque_existential_1
    mov     rdi, r13
    call    swift_release@PLT

How can I interpret these differences?
