Julia also has autism, which means she does some things a little differently. For instance, upon her introduction to Big Bird, she doesn't make eye contact or speak, but rather continues coloring.
"I thought that maybe she didn't like me," Big Bird told "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, in a recent special about Sesame Street's newest resident.
It is through this spirit of acceptance and friendship that "Sesame Street," the much-heralded children's show, hopes to promote understanding about autism to a new generation. One in 68 children in the United States has been identified with autism spectrum disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Though there is not a one-size-fits-all definition of autism, the CDC notes that the developmental disability can cause social, communication and behavioral challenges.
The show announced Julia's arrival on social media Monday, following the "60 Minutes" special on CBS Sunday, to overwhelmingly positive response.
"Through Julia, we aim to show that all kids are amazing, and that all kids can be friends. #SeeAmazing," the show tweeted.
At one point in her first episode, Julia gets upset by a siren, covering her ears; Alan simply explains to the other Muppets that Julia doesn't like loud noises.
Constructing a new Sesame Street character with autism presented a few challenges. Because Julia flaps her hands when she gets upset — a behavior that is not uncommon among those with autism — her Muppet required two separate sets of arms: ones that could flap and others that didn't, according to CBS.
Emotionally, however, the puppeteer behind Julia has felt like she has been preparing for the role for years. Stacey Gorden, a Phoenix-based puppeteer, has a son who has autism, and used to work as a therapist to children on the autism spectrum.
Julia is not an entirely new character. She first appeared in a 2015 Sesame Street online storybook, titled "We're Amazing, 1, 2, 3!" In it, Julia is introduced as one of Elmo's longtime friends, and the two of them share many favorite activities, even if they approach them differently. Where Elmo enjoys building block towers and then knocking them down, Julia likes to line up her blocks in a row to build a wall. They both play with toy cars, but Julia especially likes to spin the wheels on hers over and over again.
Both of them go to a playground, where Elmo introduces Julia to his other friend Abby. When Julia doesn't answer or make eye contact, Elmo steps in to explain why.
The response to the online storybook character was so positive that show producers began exploring how to bring Julia from the online storybook to the three-dimensional, Muppet world.
"Sesame Street" aired its first episode in 1969, and for decades, it has remained one of the most powerful and effective ways to reach children. In 2015, a landmark study showed that children could benefit as much from watching "Sesame Street" as from going to preschool. The show now runs on HBO as well as PBS.
"Sesame Street" also has a history of tackling difficult life topics for young children where other shows might gloss over them. After the death of Will Lee — the actor who played Mr. Hooper, the beloved proprietor of "Sesame Street's" neighborhood store — producers initially considered simply saying he had moved away. Ultimately, they chose to address the character's death on the show to teach children about death and grieving. "Farewell, Mr. Hooper" remains one of the most memorable and heralded episodes in the show's history, winning a Peabody and Daytime Emmy awards.
As for Julia, it's too early to tell whether she will become a major character, Ferraro told Stahl on "60 Minutes" Sunday. The show writer said she hoped so — but also that Julia's autism would not be such a big deal one day.

Q: update progress bar when download file in android I try to download a file using services in android... I was able to write the program and I can download what ever I want. but the problem is with the progress bar!!!
I'm not able to define the total file length (or size) and the current downloaded size.
I used this code to get the file lenght
            URL url = new URL(urlToDownload);
            URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            int fileLength = connection.getContentLength();

and I used this part of code to define the current downloaded size
           InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
           OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/BarcodeScanner-debug.apk");

           byte data[] = new byte[1024];
           long total = 0;
           int count;
           while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
               total += count;
               int currentValue=(total * 100 / fileLength);
               output.write(data, 0, count);
           }

the problem is that at the end of download I got something like 241% instead of 100% (because the fileLength for ex was around 12226 and the total was 29349)
Do you have any idea about this topic.

Il Silvercraft SH-4 fu un elicottero leggero prodotto in serie dall'azienda italiana Silvercraft S.p.A. negli anni sessanta del XX secolo.

Storia del progetto

Nel 1962 fu costituita a Milano la società Silvecraft S.p.A., per volontà dell'industriale Emilio Bianchi che progettò, e costruì, il prototipo di un elicottero leggero, designato XY, andato in volo per la prima volta nell'ottobre 1963.  Con l'assistenza tecnica e finanziaria della SIAI-Marchetti tale prototipo fu ulteriormente sviluppato nel nuovo elicottero designato SH-4, che presentava alcune innovazioni, come un rotore semirigido, una meccanica semplificata, facilmente accessibile dall'esterno, e con i pezzi di rispetto facilmente installabili al posto di quelli usurati. Il primo prototipo dello SH-4, matricola I-SILX, andò in volo per la prima volta a Vergiate nel marzo 1965 ai comandi del pilota collaudatore Dario Pavan. Nel giugno dello stesso anno fu esibito al Salone dell'aeronautica di Parigi-Le Bourget. Il nuovo modello ottenne la certificazione del RAI (Registro aeronautico italiano) e della FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) nel settembre 1968, e fu il primo elicottero italiano ad ottenere la doppia certificazione italiana e statunitense. Nel modello base lo SH-4 era adatto a svolgere compiti di addestramento al pilotaggio, collegamento, trasporto utility, aeroambulanza, polizia, osservazione e uso agricolo.

Descrizione tecnica
Elicottero triposto di costruzione interamente metallica. La struttura si compone di tre elementi, cabina, sezione centrale e trave di coda, tutte costruite in lega leggera d'alluminio. La trave di coda è costituita da una serie di ordinate circolari di vario diametro direttamente collegate al rivestimento lavorante in lega leggera. Le paratie parafiamma erano in lega di titanio. Il propulsore era un motore Franklin 6A-350-D a 6 cilindri, raffreddati ad aria, erogante la potenza di 235 hp (175 kW depotenziato a 170 hp (130 kW). Il rotore era bipala, e disponeva di una barra stabilizzatrice per il bilanciamento della barra trasversale simile a quella del Bell 47. Le pale erano in legno con tessuto di vetro e incorporavano una bandella di acciaio con masse di estremità aumentanti l'inerzia del rotore. Il carrello di atterraggio si presentava sotto forma di semplici pattini.
La velocità di salita era di 6,0 m/sec, e l'elicottero poteva restare in effetto suolo a una quota di 3.000 m. La capacità carburante era pari a 200 litri.

Impiego operativo
Il modello SH-4 entrò in produzione presso lo stabilimento SIAI di Vergiate, provincia di Varese, dove furono prodotti i primi dieci esemplari, e poi il montaggio fu avviato presso lo stabilimento di Legnate, per i rimanenti 40 esemplari della prima serie produttiva. Tale stabilimento disponeva di una piazzola di decollo per il collaudo degli elicotteri. A causa di problemi riscontrati dalla Fiat Aviazione per la fornitura dei propulsori Franklin, dato che la ditta statunitense lo aveva messo fuori produzione, risultano completati un totale di 21 esemplari, venduti ed esportati in Brasile, Sudafrica, Francia e Paesi Bassi. Alcuni SH-4 vennero equipaggiati con il motore Lycoming LHIO-360-C1A erogante 205 hp (153 kW). Due esemplari di SH-4 furono acquistati per valutazione dall'Aeronautica Militare Italiana, utilizzati per l'addestramento tra il 1969 e il 1972. La produzione cessò completamente nel 1977, in quanto previsto fosse sostituita dallo SH-200. A nulla valse il tentativo dell'Aermeccanica, qualche anno dopo, di riavviare il programma SH-4.

Versioni
SH-4:versione di produzione standard.
SH-4A: versione per uso agricolo.
SH-4C: versione con motore Franklin 6AS-350-D1 sovralimentato.
SH-4L:versione con propulsore Lycoming LHIO-360-C1A.

Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, Biography, Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi Quotes, Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi Career, Awards, Achievements.
Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi was born in 1207 in Balkh, today's Afghanistan. At a young age his family abandoned Balkh because of the risk of the invading Mongols and settled in Konya, Turkey, which was at that time the capital of the Seljuk Empire. Bahauddin, was the father of Rumi, who was a religious teacher at the university in Konya.
Mevlana's initial spiritual education was given by his father Bahauddin and later under his father's friend Sayyid Burhaneddin. His father taught him "the science of the prophets and states," beginning with a strict forty day retreat followed by several prohibitions of meditation and fasting. During this time, Jalaluddin also lived for four years in Aleppo and Damascus taking lessons from some of the greatest religious minds of the time.
At the age of thirty-seven, Mevlana visited the spiritual vagabond Shams. Before his tryst with Shams, Rumi had been an accomplished professor of religion and a highly proclaimed mystic; after this he transformed into an inspired poet and a great humanity supporter.
Husameddin was very happy and encouraged Mevlana to write more volumes. Mevlana in his early fifties started the dictation of this monumental work. The Mathnawi can worldwide be acknowledged as the greatest spiritual masterpiece ever penned by a human being. It encompasses the complete spectrum of life on earth, all types of human activity: religious, cultural, sexual, domestic, political, traditional - every kind of human characteristics form the vulgar to the defined; along with copious and specific details of the natural beauty, history and geography.
In Rumi's world, the Islamic life had created a high quality of spiritual development among the common population. The normal person would be someone who conduct regular ablutions and prayed five times a day, shunned away from food and drink for at least one month a year. Nevertheless, the Mathnawi can attract us on many phases with a rather greater level of spiritual awareness as an initial phase and stretches to the highest levels of spiritual understanding.


Coconut milk, fresh ginger, and red curry paste (a blend of chiles, garlic, onion, lemongrass, and spices) are staples in Thai cuisine.
Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place on a plate. Place a heavy saucepan on top and let it stand for 20 minutes to press out the excess liquid. Cut the tofu into 1⁄4-inch cubes.
Heat 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
Heat the remaining 1 1⁄2 teaspoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and curry paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5–6 minutes. Add the bag of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots and the tofu. Cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 18–20 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the cilantro and salt. Serve with the bowties. Yields 1 1⁄4 cups sauce and 3⁄4 cup pasta per serving.
The light coconut milk adds sweetness (with little fat) and the ginger and curry paste add fire. Look for coconut milk and red curry paste in the ethnic section of your supermarket. You'll need about 6 ounces dry bowtie pasta to get 3 cups cooked.


As smooth as his singing, Marco McKinnis began his set with casual conversation about how he is originally from Virginia right before asked the crowd if it was ok if he could sing a song. Thirty seconds later my cynicism to the Banter drifted away and I was hypnotized. In fact, I believe that hypnotizing is the perfect adjective to summarize the entire performance. The audience clearly felt so, several times was there a noticeable sway in the crowd and I often caught myself wishing that each song would go on for longer. The velvet in his voice combined with luxurious sample filled backing tracks really created a mood that I believe anyone can vibe with. This was my first time ever seeing or hearing of Marco McKinnis but I believe that one of the great things about his music is the attentiveness of it. His music seems to coexist with as much attention as you want to put into it, and I wouldn't be surprised if he planned it that way.
« Dizzy Fae's "Free Form" Release Show!!


I can say with some bit of certainty that on the evening of Sloan's newborn session, I was probably her least favorite person. Cute and sweet as she is, she was anything but pleased with me and showed it. But to be fair to Miss Sloan, I should have known better about the time of day, the flash because we had no sun, the environment. All in all, though, I think they turned out well, and I hope to see her again in the spring when we can be outside in the beautiful, warm sunshine! I can't wait to see how she's grown! It was so fun and beautiful to see Jake and Brittany as parents, as I've photographed their engagement, wedding and maternity photos. What an amazing little family!
I take a lot of photos in a session. Like, seriously. A lot. I'm talkin' hundreds. One of the most difficult parts of photography for me is cutting back, because every photo becomes so personal to me that I can't bear to cut it from the edit batch. Maybe it's something little like the way her hair looked in that photo or that he had a really good smirk, or perhaps a child with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. When clients are as awesome and perfect together as Lexi and Kyle, it makes the task of cutting back near impossible. This session was a dream to edit, and I greatly enjoyed our session together. Isn't she going to make a gorgeous bride? Congrats and best wishes to the engaged couple as they start their life together!


Hallstatt is a World Heritage Site for Cultural Heritage and has one of the oldest salt mines in the world (800 BCE). The small town and the lake it faces are very picturesque. You can see the whole town in about 15 minutes not including the Salt Mine tour. The Salt Mine tour is well worth seeing and takes you deep underground and along narrow passages and larger caverns. Since there is so little space in the cemetery, every ten years bones are removed into an Ossuary to make room for new burials. The Ossuary has on display a collection of elaborately decorated skulls with owners' names, professions, death dates inscribed on them.

The Old City of Jerusalem is in the East of the city and thus part of the Occupied Territories.
There are four historic quarters. The Muslim Quarter in the north-east is the largest in size and population. The Christian Quarter, next door in the north-west, is the second largest, followed by the Jewish Quarter in the south-east and the Armenian in the south-west. There used to be a fifth, the Moroccan Quarter, but that was absorbed into the Jewish Quarter in 1967 following the Six Day War and its buildings largely demolished to improve access to the Western Wall of the now ruined Second Jewish Temple (the "Wailing Wall").
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is on the reputed site where Jesus's body was laid to rest after his crucifixion, and thus also the site of his resurrection. It's the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, but several other Christian sects own parts of it, including the Roman Catholics and several Eastern Churches (but no Protestants).

President Donald Trump has said his administration will release a full report in the next two days about the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Reporters asked Mr Trump about the death of Mr Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who was killed on October 2 inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
Earlier reports said American intelligence agencies concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing in the Saudi Consulate in Turkey, according to a US official familiar with that assessment.
The conclusion was first reported by The Washington Post however Saudi Arabia's top diplomat has said the crown prince had "absolutely" nothing to do with it.
The Post, citing unnamed sources, also reported that US intelligence agencies reviewed a phone call that the prince's brother, Khalid bin Salman, had with Mr Khashoggi.
The newspaper said the prince's brother, who is the current Saudi ambassador to the United States, told Mr Khashoggi he would be safe in going to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents he needed to get married.
The newspaper said it was not known whether the ambassador knew Mr Khashoggi would be killed. But it said he made the call at the direction the crown prince, and the call was intercepted by US intelligence.
"The United States government is determined to hold all those responsible for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi accountable," the State Department said in a statement.
Intelligence officials have been providing information to Mr Trump about the death for weeks and he was briefed again by phone Saturday by CIA director Gina Haspel and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as he flew to California.

A HOARSE VOICE OR VOCAL NODULES?
HELP! DO I HAVE VOCAL NODULES?
MY CHILD HAS AUTISM, DOES HE NEED SPEECH THERAPY?
Confidence is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child. Here are some ways you can try to build your kid's confidence.
Music and songs can be used to encourage language! Research evidence shows that children with language delays and verbal dyspraxia benefit from shared neural connections and a structured predictable rhythm which music offers.
💙 Frequent repetition in chains of 3 (e.g. Red red red, the tractor is red..).
💙 Learn to say new words by using familiar song tunes (but substitute them with the target word) E.g. "If you're happy and you know it, say Hallooo!/ Say Rrrr!" (instead of 'clap hands').
Here are some easy ways to praise your children constructively.
Gadgets have their place in education but they're no substitute for knowledge that children can learn from playing physically together.


While hospitality-related businesses can be unpredictable, there's one thing that for sure: peak party season is in December.
Even within peak party season, the patterns are consistent. In early December, the number of events starts rising. Each weekend, there are more parties than the week before, and then you hit peak party night on the Friday before Christmas. In 2017, that's December 22.
For the people throwing parties, the earlier the venue is secured the better. In fact, data from Tripleseat, a cloud-based sales and event management software company, shows that those peak party season bookings start right after Labor Day and hit critical mass in mid-November. For example, on November 14 this year, there were twice as many bookings then on the average day. Then, about the third week of November, it all slows way way down.
And most of the venues for most of the nights? They're already booked.
Now, imagine you're in charge of planning your company party. You totally had your act together this year and you got that hot spot for a prime night. Everything is going along great.
And then … disaster. Your venue falls through.

For $29, $99 or $299 (depending on which tier you want), Watch Gang ships you a new watch that you KEEP worth up to 5x what you pay. It works like many other monthly clubs where you pay a low membership fee and get products worth more than you paid. Watch Gang is doing things a bit differently, though. One member of Watch Gang wins a Rolex every Friday and one member wins a TAG every Tuesday! That is something worth checking out, so I did. The $29 tier gets you fashion watches worth up to $150. The $99 membership, Watch Gang Black, gets you watches worth $500+. They partner with major brands (Citizen, Seiko, etc) as well as craft brands that only produce a handful of pieces.
I signed up pretty easily at watchgang.com. I love watches and my style always changes, so I signed up for a year. That got me my membership for only $91 a month... pretty cheap (I signed up for the mid level watch tier). I thought I might be renting these watches, but it turns out - you keep everything they send you!
This thing is awesome. I'm definitely a fan of this watch! I searched for it and found it on Jomashop for $599. I'm amazed at the value.
So even though I didn't get a Rolex, I am SO happy with the watch I got! It is $800 MSRP ($599 on Jomashop) so I definitely feel like I got a great deal for my low membership fee.
This is a Heritor Morrison Japanese Automatic. It is so beautiful in person.
Watch Gang gives away free months, free cases and kits, multiple Rolex and TAG watches and more.
So... what if you don't love the watch? - Great question. Watch Gang actually offers an exchange program! So if you get a watch that doesn't fit your style, you can easily trade it for something else you love! What an amazing company!
I have to say, I am 100% behind this company. They have an amazing community of watch lovers and they truly care about their customers. I'm getting nice, expensive watches for a super low membership fee and a chance to get a Rolex every week. They used to do one Rolex a month, and as they've grown, they keep adding more! They giveaway one Rolex every Friday and one TAG every Tuesday - live on their Facebook page.

Locating the 'big hole' in HCI research

Locating the 'big hole' in HCI research
Stuart Reeves
In a recent Interactions article, "The Big Hole in HCI Research," [1] Vassilis Kostakos argued that HCI lacks persistent "motor themes," based on a co-word analysis [2] of keywords sections from the past 20 years of CHI papers [3]. HCI as a discipline, it is argued, "simply roll[s] from topic to topic, year after year, without developing any of them substantially."
In this analysis, motor themes—based on clusters of recurring keywords over time—are described as a critical feature of healthy disciplines. Motor themes represent commonly addressed topics that constitute the research mainstream and therefore are essential to creating a disciplinary core. After summarizing his work from a recent CHI paper, Kostakos characterizes the absence of these themes from HCI as "a very worrying prospect for a scientific community."
These concerns seem to be echoed by events at recent CHI conferences, such as the appearance since 2011 of yearly panels or workshops on "replication" (RepliCHI), and the Interaction Science SIG of CHI 2014. While my view contrasts with the proponents of what one might label as the "scientific program," [4] the emergence of increased debate about the very idea of HCI—what its work does, could, or should look like academically—feels like a valuable activity and is probably long overdue.
Here, I want to talk about two matters that are core to the discussion: the relationship between science and HCI, and, more broadly, the disciplinarity of HCI [5].
HCI and Science
Claims about the big hole in HCI Research invoke science quite directly, with Kostakos warning that HCI's apparent lack of motor themes should concern a scientific community. Yet all is not lost, Kostakos argues, for "new initiatives have sprung up in our field to make it more scientific in the sense of repeating studies, incremental research, and reusable findings."
But this invocation of science and the desire to make HCI "more scientific" is not a new concern. HCI's early emergence was oriented strongly by many researchers from cognitive and broader psychological sciences, the academic communities of which have, themselves, often been at pains to demonstrate scientific credentials through the application of methods from the natural sciences. So, I would argue that the cultural foundations for HCI's desire to "become scientific" have always been present.
Like the programs of Interaction Science and RepliCHI, the expressed desire for a scientific disciplinarity is typically thought to be achievable by adherence to a set of signature scientific qualities that are seen as gold standards of being a science. I summarize these qualities as follows:
Accumulation: Science's work is that of cumulative progress.
Replication: Science's work gains rigor from its replicability.
Generalization: Science's cumulative work builds toward transcendent knowledge.
Attempts to reorder HCI back into accord with these scientific qualities have been suggested before. For instance, in 2000, Whittaker et al. called for a similar program, arguing that the development of various standardized "reference tasks" could be achieved in order to establish accumulation and generalization in HCI, and therefore scientific legitimacy [6].
However, I see two problems with these appeals to science and scientific qualities. The first is that science as a term is problematic. The second is that I think it is mistaken to imply—or not guard against an implication even if unintended—that these qualities are properties of science itself.
On the first point, science is a linguistic chimera. Within HCI alone the term is diversely and nebulously applied. This is unhelpful, for science is often employed to do very different kinds of things that have little to do with pursuing scientific qualities. For instance, it is often used as a rhetorical strategy to assert epistemic or moral authority (science as "good work" and/or "transcendent truth"). Employed in this way, science is a linguistic method for legitimizing certain kinds of work—as a matter of categorizing things as science and not science. Science is also often used as an aspirational label to request peer recognition—for example, computer science rather than informatics. This means that the term science can create significant confusion: Hence, the term comes to be deployed in place of appropriate, relevant assessments of the rigor of research work.
This leads to my second point: that accumulation, replication, and generalization of findings are not intrinsic properties of some broad domain of science, but rather are specific methodical practices conducted by specific communities of researchers. Hence, I would argue that the standards of what counts as a generalization, what is a relevant process of accumulation (which I take as the establishing within researchers' discourse of particular motor themes), and what motivates the conduct of replications should be decided upon as a matter of agreement between relevant researchers. I do not think these things can be determined through adherence to an external and nebulous set of "scientific standards" adopted from a textbook of formal descriptions of the approaches of the natural sciences.
I have a great deal of sympathy for proponents of the scientific program in HCI, especially where they seek to increase the rigor of the HCI community—such a motivation can only be encouraged. Yet I feel that this cannot come at the expense of demanding singular yet unspecifiable approaches such as making HCI "more scientific." In other words, this veneration of the classic tropes of the scientific method will not assist us in firming up how researchers engage in various shared practices to establish agreement and disagreement over findings. If by science we mean "demonstrating a rigor agreed upon by practitioners of the relevant and particular genre of reasoning the work pertains to" then I might consider it a useful term. But this meaning seems unlikely (it's definitely very unwieldy!).
HCI as a Discipline
The discussions of scientific models relate, I think, to broader debates about HCI's disciplinarity that have recently emerged. Kostakos's work provides an account of CHI's—and therefore (perhaps tenuously) HCI's—disciplinary architecture according to co-word analysis. The organization of knowledge in HCI is described by various quadrants. These quadrants (Figure 1) trace themes as they are born ("Quadrant III: Emerging or declining themes"), begin to stabilize ("Quadrant IV: Basic and transversal themes"), "go mainstream" as motor themes ("Quadrant I: Motor themes") and then die off (back to Quadrant III) or perhaps decline ("Quadrant II: Developed but isolated themes"). Themes may never reach Quadrant I or may go straight to Quadrant II, or perhaps get stuck in Quadrant IV or never make it past Quadrant III. But the basic idea is that of charting the disciplinary lifecycle; with this, detecting appropriate movement of themes across the graph, and at the same time performing a kind of health check on HCI's disciplinary coherence.
It seems that HCI is often referred to as a discipline. For Kostakos's arguments in "The Big Hole in HCI Research," conceptualizing HCI as a discipline is necessary to ensure that it becomes comparable with the other disciplinary objects held as reference points. Thus, the co-word analysis of HCI is placed alongside extant analyses of psychology, consumer behavior, software engineering, and stem cell research. These reference points are then used to show the absence of Quadrant I keyword clusters in HCI. When compared with these other disciplines, the scientific deficiencies of HCI are revealed.
But I think there is something wrong with this picture. Assertions—both explicit and implicit—of HCI's disciplinarity are frequently made, often alongside notes about its interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary character. Yet the core concept of HCI as a discipline (never mind as a scientific discipline) raises serious questions. The unstated assumption driving the assertions and implications of Kostakos's work is that disciplinary objects are transcendentally comparable. However, it is hard to see how, say, the activities of stem cell researchers have any bearing on the activities of HCI researchers, and it is not clear whether it is reasonable to assume that their paper-writing practices, let alone their everyday research work practices, are in some way similar. It is also unclear why it might be that specialisms like stem cell research should be compared with all of psychology—a broad church to say the least. Why not social psychology or cognitive psychology?
My alternative view would be that each discipline works with phenomena particular to it, and also has methods of reasoning and research practices also particular to it. What counts as relevant research questions in one discipline may have nothing necessarily to do with what counts in another. At its most basic, the notion of a discipline is an attempt at finding a way of ordering knowledge [7]. In this sense, it is not a "natural fact"; instead, disciplinary order is an epiphenomenon of the particular practices of a particular community of researchers.
The very idea that HCI is a discipline is also itself contentious. Yvonne Rogers has suggested that HCI is an "eclectic interdiscipline" [8]. By implication, I take this to mean that in being an interdiscipline, HCI should, indeed, have the big hole Kostakos identifies, because the very nature of an interdiscipline would be centered on an absence of a disciplinary core. Alan Blackwell has recently advanced this argument, asking whether HCI is actually best suited to occupying a catalytic role between disciplines as opposed to engaging in the development and maintenance of a stable body of knowledge [9]. If there were some essential disciplinary core to HCI, it would struggle in this role as an interdiscipline.
Being an Interdiscipline
It seems trite to point out that much has been written about implications for design or to highlight how they are also seen as a problematic nervous tic of the HCI paper-writing genre. Kostakos, drawing out the "skewed ways in which our community values research," pins the absence of HCI's engagement with scientific qualities (i.e., of generalization, replication, and accumulation) to this drive to embed implications for design in HCI papers.
While I have sympathy for this argument, I also think a reassessment has to be made as to why implications for design have even emerged in the first place. What work is being done in writing implications for design? I would argue that they may be read as implicit recognition that gestures toward being an interdiscipline are normative in HCI. Hence, it would be a mistake to assume that we need not be accountable to the "interdisciplinary other" in HCI. At the same time, implications for design are also an effort to answer the question "why should I (the reader) care about this work?"—a question that is in no way unique to HCI. Thus, although they are often deficient in their form, as rightly pointed out by Kostakos and others, implications sections nevertheless can be an attempt to meet others at the interface of disciplines.
In closing, I think if we take Rogers's and Blackwell's challenge of being an interdiscipline seriously, we could be looking for two characteristic kinds of rigor in HCI research work.
First, I feel we should expect a rigor commensurate with the research's own disciplinary wellsprings, whether this is (cognitive, social, etc.) psychology, anthropology, software engineering, or, more recently, the designerly disciplines. Rare examples of such internal rigor being taken to task are found in the "damaged merchandise" [10] or "ethnography considered harmful" [11] debates. What this means is that the adoption of materials, approaches, and perspectives from disciplines that contribute to HCI's interdisciplinary interface should not result in lax implementations of such imported materials, approaches, and perspectives within the HCI community. The "magpie-ism" of HCI research is a double-edged sword: increasing vigor and research creativity, yet often resulting in violence being done to the origins of imported approaches and concepts. And without specialist attention, weak strains are sustained/incubated within HCI; the controversies outlined above are manifestations of this problem.
Second, we should expect a rigor in HCI research's engagement with the very notion of being an interdiscipline. The tenor of implications for design sections is often problematic, a point picked up by Kostakos. Instead, I would suggest that we should perhaps start considering implications for HCI, rather than implications for design, as better suited for working at the interface of disciplines.

Can't wait to see it! So excited!
Loved putting together this gallery. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.


Still at JFK airport after an awesome cruise. All of you going on the getaway in the next weeks can look forward to it. Nothing really to complain about and especially with the low passenger count the best service I ever encountered on a cruise. Totally worth every dollar.
Does anyone have pictures of the menus at O'Sheehan's available to post?
Would appreciate pictures of menus at any of the Getaway restaurants.
Hey everyone! Does anyone know when the Getaway arrives in Miami??? I want to drive out to the port to see her come in! Thanks!
I just noticed a Getaway app for apple and android devices. It lists the Miami events and has lots of other features.
FYI - I created a thread with lots of pictures of Getaway and some thoughts about the ship. It's focused mainly on the differences between Breakaway and Getaway. Anyone who is sailing her is in for a treat!
That app is specifically for folks who sailed on the Jan. 27-29 CTN out of NYC and those who will be onboard for the christening Feb. 7-8. It just lists the scheduled press events and such. It does have really handy deck plans and lists of all the venues, though.
I am looking forward to reviews of Illusionarium and the menu. The Cirque shows never interested me on the Epic or Breakaway.
The Illusionarium show itself was fantastic. I was disappointed to learn, however, that the menu is fixed -- surf 'n' turf. The steak was decent, but I didn't try the deep-fried shrimp that came with it, as I'm not a seafood eater. I'd say the show alone is worth the cost, and I almost think it would be better without the dinner. The staff kept interrupting while I was watching to fill my water, ask if I was finished eating, etc. It's not their fault, of course, since that's what they're supposed to do, but I found it a little irritating. Menu photos coming. Stay tuned.
Does anyone know on what deck we board the ship?
Did you happen to get an entertainment schedule for The Grammy Experience?
I wish CC had a "like" button LOL. I was wondering the same thing.
Thanks for being so patient, SissasMomE. Just heard back from Norwegian, and there's no official schedule yet. I'm told it'll be released soon, so I'll update you as soon as I hear anything.

Amal Clooney accuses Turkey of hypocrisy on freedom of speech in Armenian genocide trial
The human rights lawyer, representing Armenia, criticised Turkey's double standards on freedom of expression
Amal Clooney accused Turkey of hypocrisy during a hearing at Strasbourg court's 17-member Grand Chamber Photo: ECHR
By Bruno Waterfield, Strasbourg and Raziye Akkoc
12:03PM GMT 28 Jan 2015
Amal Clooney, the human rights barrister, has accused Turkey of double standards on freedom of expression for defending a Turkish Leftist who described the Armenian genocide an "international lie".
Mrs Clooney, who is representing Armenia on behalf of Doughty Street Chambers along with Geoffrey Robertson QC, said Turkey's stance was hypocritical "because of its disgraceful record on freedom of expression", including prosecutions of Turkish-Armenians who campaign for the1915 massacres to be called a genocide.
She took on the case against Doğu Perinçek, chairman of the Turkish Workers' Party and an MP, who was found guilty of genocide denial and racial discrimination in Switzerland in 2007, but had his conviction overturned by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after being defended by Turkey's government.
The ECHR upheld his right to question in a "debate of clear public interest" and questioned if it was possible to define as a genocide, a policy of deliberate extermination, the massacres and deportations of Armenians by the Turks a century ago.
The human rights lawyer, who married George Clooney her Hollywood film star husband last September, accused the Strasbourg court's judges of being "simply wrong".

Amal Clooney takes on Armenia genocide case12 Jan 2015
"It cast doubt of the reality of genocide that Armenian people suffered a century ago," she said
"Armenia must have its day in court. The stakes could not be higher for the Armenian people."
Switzerland has laws against the denial of all genocide as part of its anti-racism laws but the ECHR ruled that Mr Perinçek's right to freedom of speech was violated when he was convicted as a criminal by a Swiss court for his claims.
In a December 2013 judgement, the European court concluded that there was not a "general consensus" that the massacres of Armenians had constituted genocide and that only 20 countries out of 190 worldwide classed it as such.
Amal Clooney and Geoffrey Robertson QC in court
Only three European countries, Greece, Slovakia and Switzerland, ban the Armenian genocide denial. A French law was overturned on free speech grounds in the country's constitutional court three years ago.
Speaking in Lausanne in 2005, Mr Perinçek had said that the legal definition of Armenian genocide was an "international lie", but did not dispute that the killings and deportations had taken place.
Four and half minutes into her evidence of the historical record concerning events in 1915, including Ottoman Empire admissions of war crimes, the barrister was asked to conclude by the judges.
"Mrs Clooney may I draw your attention to the fact that the Armenian government has gone over the time allocated, so I ask you to conclude," said Dean Spielmann, the president of the court.
She went on to insist that Armenia did not want to limit free speech or historical debate and accused Turkey of having double standards because of it's own poor record on freedom of expression.
"Armenia is not here to argue against freedom of expression anymore than Turkey is here to defend it. This court knows very well how disgraceful Turkey's record on freedom of expression is," she said.
"You have found against the Turkish government in 224 separate cases on freedom of expression grounds."
The Lebanese lawyer made a reference to Hrant Dink, the Turkish-Armenian newspaper editor, who was prosecuted by Turkey for arguing that the 1915 massacres were genocide.
Mr Dink was then assassinated by a Turkish nationalist in 2007 for his views and ethnicity as an Armenian.

"Armenia has every interest in ensuring that its own citizens do not get caught in a net that criminalises speech too broadly. As the family of Hrant Dink know about all too well," she said.
In his evidence to the court, Mr Perinçek denied any motivation to incite hatred against Armenians, telling judges that he had been imprisoned for speaking up for one of Turkey's other ethnic minorities, the Kurds.
"We are here for the liberty of Europeans," he said. "Liberty for those who criticise the established status quo.
"I share the pain of Armenian citizens, you can not find a word of mine that expresses antagonism against them. I hold the great powers responsible for what happened in 1915. There should be no taboos for the right to speak."
His arguments were dismissed by Armenia's legal team which was supporting Switzerland in defending the "unshakable" conviction.
Geoffrey Robertson QC accused Mr Perincek of being an admirer of Talaat Pasha, one of the organisers of the Armenian genocide, a man he said was the "Ottoman's Empire's Hitler".
Mr Robertson argued that the Turkish Left-wing nationalist had travelled Europe deliberately trying to provoke a conviction for genocide denial in order to "arouse his supporters in Turkey".
"It was made by a man who only came to Switzerland in order to be convicted. That was his purpose. He went to Germany, France, at the end of the day he tried to go Greece to expostulate but was turned away. He is genocide denier forum shopper," he said.
"He is an incorrigible genocide denier, a criminal and a vexatious litigant."
Asked by the Telegraph about the presence of dozens of photographers and fevered speculation on what she would be wearing for the court appearance, Mrs Clooney laughed and pointed to her black barrister's robes.
"I'm wearing Ede and Ravenscroft," she joked, in a reference to the famous English company of legal robe makers and tailors since 1689.
Mr Robertson said he was was surprised at the rows of "papparazi" when legal teams entered the court, which does not generally excite press attention or attract packs of photographers.
He said he was pleased that coverage of the case would focus attention on Mrs Clooney's career as a lawyer rather than her private life as the wife of a film celebrity, Hollywood actor and director.
"It is not about white gloves or yachts. It puts the record straight, she is a human rights lawyer," he said.

The entryway in your home shouldn't be empty just be empty just because this is an area to enter the main area of your home. You can make a good welcoming in your entryway by adding furniture. This can be a good idea to enhance the look of your entryway while providing functionality. The most common furniture used in entry way is cabinet. Entryway cabinet specially designed to fill the empty space in the entryway with aesthetic and functionality. Since it is specially designed, the cabinet is not in the regular size of normal cabinet. It is typically smaller in order to fit in any entryway so that you can still have enough walk area.
Since this piece is still a cabinet, surely the main purpose of entryway cabinet is to store items. It gives you a reachable storage when you are entering your home. You can directly put off your shoes and organize them in the cabinet. This is a good way rather than bringing your shoes inside your home. Also, the cabinet can be used to store more items since it is usually featured with more than one storage area, but some areas to store different things. You can also store your kids' toys such as ball so that they can easily take it and place it before and after playing outside. If the cabinet completed with an organizer, you can hang your coat to be easily worn before you go outside. The storage provided of entryway cabinet is varied in order to give various purposes. So, you can choose the one that suit to your need. It can drawer, organizer, or open storage areas.
If you want to buy an entryway cabinet to fill the empty space of your foyer, you can purchase it from The Find. There are a wide selection of entryway cabinet with different finish, color and storage that you can suit to your need.

Hi Spark, thanks for your reply. (what means 'gub-mint'?) I understand what you mean and I will work on that one. Another thought is, I yust listened to 'You are free TV' and she stated that we have to protest, I live in an area with a lot of farmers who don't treat the earth, the animals, etc. well. Besides teaching the children, I wanted to bring in a way of caring for the earth, which I am passionate about, as an example, how it can be done. I can feel the resistance, which made me hesitant to start with the project. And the resistance shows also in the way the local government treats me. How to deal with that? I may write an article for the local newspaper, I have to do something to make it visible for everybody.


Because clearly this image immediately makes you think about the Olympic Games, right? No? Oh.
*sigh* I'm sending a contesting letter, but I don't expect it to help. Apparently the IOC managed to get some pretty ridiculous laws passed about copyrighted use of Olympic words, symbols, et al during the London Olympics and some bot came across my Redbubble page and found this. So in the interim this shirt will no longer be available on Redbubble, sorry.

Q: Spring Data JPA Many to Many with extra column User and Roles I want to use many-to-many relationships using spring boot JPA between User and Role entity.
I was able to achieve this using code below BUT in my requirement, I need one extra column in the pivot table(users_to_role).
@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(
        name = "users_to_roles",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(
                name = "user_id", referencedColumnName = "id"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(
                name = "role_id", referencedColumnName = "id"))
private List<Role> roles;

Here is my new code
User.java
@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class User {

   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   private Long id;

   private String username;

   @OneToMany(mappedBy="users", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   private List<Role> roles;

   //getters and setters here
}

Role.java
@Entity
@Table(name = "roles")
public class Role {

   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   private Long id;

   private String name;

   @OneToMany(mappedBy="roles", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   private List<User> users;

   //getters and setters here
}

UserRole.java
@Entity
@Table(name = "users_to_role")
public class UserRole {

   @Id
   @ManyToOne
   @JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
   private User user;

   @Id
   @ManyToOne
   @JoinColumn(name = "role_id")
   private Role role;

   private Date createdAt;

  //getters and setters here
}

Could someone help me to point out what I am doing wrong?
Here is error stack:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.AnnotationException: Illegal use of mappedBy on both sides of the relationship: com.example.entities.Role.users

A: It is because in your User Entity in @OneToMany you are specifying mappedBy as users while in your UserRole  Entity , User Entity is represented by the object user (not users).
Similar is the case with Role Entity.
Just synchronize the value in mappedBy attribute with name of objects you are mentioning in UserRole .
Secondly in both User and Role Entities you should have List<UserRole>  (not the list of User or Role)because you will have foreign key in users_to_role table.
The following change will work
User.java
@OneToMany(mappedBy="user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List<UserRole> roles;

Role.java
@OneToMany(mappedBy="role", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List<UserRole> users;

UserRole.java
public class UserRole implements Serializable {}

UTRGV professor named outstanding alumnus
Dr. Diana Delinda Ruiz
HARLINGEN — Diana Delinda Ruiz is passionate about her work.
As a professor for 11 years, she has played an important role in molding the next generation of counselors.
Her contributions to the counseling profession were recognized by her students and colleagues as the recipient of the 2019 Emmette R. Hutto Outstanding Alumnus Award, recently presented by the UTRGV Brownsville Counseling Student Association & the Edinburg Counseling Student Association.
"It means the world to me that this year's graduates of the counseling programs of the UTRGV Brownsville and Edinburg campuses chose me to receive this coveted award," Ruiz, Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Counseling at UTRGV, stated via email. "They, along with my colleagues, are the motivation and drive that activate me daily to find strategies, techniques and already proven methods to help each student succeed."
With more than 24 years as an educator, Ruiz is also a trained Make-a-Wish Granter, a former board member of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Board of Directors and currently serves as the Committee Chair for the UTRGV Department of Counseling Advisory Committee.
In 2013, she was the recipient of the Outstanding New Faculty Teaching Award for the UTPA College of Education.
"I'm very grateful for the recognition, which I share with all involved," she stated. "The strong support that the professors in my department share is extremely productive and makes us a family whose goal is to prepare our students to be the best counselors in our schools."

Q: Mock a multipart/form-data Express.JS request object I would like to unit test an Express middleware function which, in turn, uses node-formidable to process a multipart file upload.
Here's a contrived example:
function doUpload(req, res, next) {
    const form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
    form.uploadDir = this.mediaDir;
    form.keepExtensions = true;
    form.type = 'multipart';
    form.multiples = true;

    form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
        res.writeHead(200, {'content-type': 'text/plain'});
        res.write('received upload:\n\n');
        res.end(util.inspect({fields: fields, files: files}));
    });
}

This code works for me when tested with Chrome and a running Express app.
I want my test code to look like the following where I am mocking the request object, but I can't figure out how to mock the request object with the form data. The formidable callback is not firing:
it('handles uploads', (done) => {
    const mockReq = http.request({
        host: 'example.org',
    });
    mockReq.url = '/upload';

    const res = jasmine.createSpyObj('response', [ 'json', 'send', 'status', 'render', 'header', 'redirect', 'end', 'write;]);
    const next = jasmine.createSpy('next');

    //*how to emulate a request with a multipart file upload)

    doUpload(req, res, next);
    res.write.and.callFake(done);
});

I've tried using the form-data library to create a FormData object and pipe it to the request, but no luck, I'm not sure if I'm on the right track or way off. Something like this:
var form = new FormData();

const buff = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '../fixtures/logo.png'));

form.append('file', buff, {
    filename: 'logo.jpg',
    contentType: 'image/png',
    knownLength: buff.length
});
form.append('name', 'Logo');

req.headers = form.getHeaders();

form.pipe(req);
doUpload(req, res, next);

A: You could use some request tester like supertest, to do it. Here is an example, assuming that your main file is named app.js:
const request = require('supertest');
const app = require('app.js');

it('Uploads a file', function(){
    request(app)
      .post('/upload')
      .field('name', 'Logo') //adds a field 'name' and sets its value to 'Logo'
      .attach('file', '/path/to/file') // attaches the file to the form
      .then(function(response){
          // response from the server
          console.log(response.status);
          console.log(response.body);
      })

})

A: Use combination of form-data and mock-express-request. This has worked for me:
const fs = require('fs');
const MockExpressRequest = require('mock-express-request');
const FormData = require('form-data');

const form = new FormData();
form.append('my_file',
  fs.createReadStream(path.join(__dirname, 'fixtures', 'file-upload-test.txt'))
);
const request = new MockExpressRequest({
  method: 'POST',
  host: 'localhost',
  url: '/upload',
  headers: form.getHeaders()
});

form.pipe(request);
doUpload(request, response, next);

Samsung Galaxy S8's unusual screen resolution revealed
Vlad 27 January 2017
Samsung Rumors Android
Samsung and LG have been competing for decades now, and the two companies are always trying to one up each other in whatever way possible. This year, both will put out impressive new flagship smartphones, both of those with minimal bezels as countless rumors have told us so far.
However, in the battle between Samsung's Galaxy S8 and LG's G6, the former has managed to best the latter in at least two areas. First, there's the chipset, which is rumored to be Snapdragon 835 for Samsung yet only last year's Snapdragon 821 for the LG - and that's a direct consequence of Samsung 'hoarding' all available SD835 units at launch.
Another area where the Galaxy S8 will beat the LG G6 at the spec game is display resolution and size, though in both cases only just. The latter was already obvious from yesterday's huge leak about the S8, which once again confirmed that the smaller model will have a 5.8-inch screen, while the larger model will come with a 6.2-inch panel - compared to the G6's 5.7-inch one. That's obviously a very small difference, but it is a difference.
The same goes for the resolution of those screens. LG has already announced that its G6 will come with a 2,880x1,440 panel with the unusual 2:1 aspect ratio (or 18:9), something that was chosen in order to give people a bigger display area but at the same time make the phone possible to hold with one hand.
Now a new rumor from China says the Galaxy S8's screen will have 2,960x1,440 resolution, and this fits perfectly with yesterday's report which said the next Samsung flagship will have the even more unusual 18.5:9 aspect ratio. 2,960x1,440 is 18.5:9, and it also beats the G6's 2,880x1,440 by a few pixels. Will that matter in the end? Probably not. It's likely that Samsung's rumored record marketing budget for the S8 will put a lot more of these devices in people's pockets than any such minor spec differentiators.
The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will become official at an event in New York on March 29, and they will be in stores on April 21. The LG G6, on the other hand, will be unveiled on February 26 and should go on sale in March.
