Q: Reading specific row or column - phpExcel Using phpExcel, I have managed to read the whole worksheet. Is there a way I can read only certain values say from cell C15:C18, to insert them into the database?

A: There are plenty of methods:
$cellValue = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('C15')->getValue();

will read the value of a specific cell (C15 in this case) into the variable $cellValue
or
$cellValues = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->rangeToArray('C15:C18');

will read a range of values to an array.
Once you've retrieved the contents of a cell to a normal PHP variable, it's easy enough to insert them into a database as you'd insert any data avalues into a database.

Indigenous World 2020: African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR)
Written on 11 May 2020 . Posted in International Processes & Initiatives
The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) was established in accordance with Article 30 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights with a mandate to promote and protect human and peoples' rights on the continent. It was officially inaugurated on 2 November 1987 and is the premier human rights monitoring body of the African Union (AU). In 2001, the ACHPR established a Working Group on Indigenous Populations/Communities in Africa (WGIP), marking a milestone in the promotion and protection of the rights of Indigenous Peoples in Africa.
Indigenous World 2020: European Union Engagement with Indigenous Issues
The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 Member States established in 1951. Its legislative and executive powers are divided between the EU's three main institutions: the European Parliament (co-legislative authority - EP), the Council of the European Union (co-legislative and executive authority - CoEU) and the European Commission (executive authority - EC). In addition, the EU has its own diplomatic service: the European External Action Service (with EU "embassies" throughout the world).
Indigenous World 2020: Indigenous Data Sovereignty
Indigenous Peoples have always been 'data warriors'. Our ancient traditions recorded and protected information and knowledge through art, carving, song, chants and other practises. Deliberate efforts to expunge these knowledge systems were part and parcel of colonisation, along with state-imposed practices of counting and classifying Indigenous populations. As a result, Indigenous Peoples often encounter severe data deficits when trying to access high quality, culturally relevant data to pursue their goals, but an abundance of data that reflects and serves government interests regarding Indigenous Peoples and their lands.
Indigenous World 2020: Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) established on 8 August 1967 with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration) by its founding member states: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam and Myanmar later joined, making ASEAN a 10-member state institution.
The ASEAN Charter was adopted in November 2007 and came into force in December 2008. It is the legally binding agreement among the member states that provides ASEAN with a legal status and institutional framework.
Indigenous World 2020: Global Indigenous Youth Caucus
It is estimated that there are 370 million Indigenous persons in the world, approximately 45% of whom are between 15 and 30 years of age. This group of Indigenous Peoples face numerous challenges, including marginalisation, migration and premature maternity. Despite these problems, Indigenous youth continue organising to attain their rights and bring their situation to the light of day.
Indigenous World 2020: Indigenous Women at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and empowerment of women. It is a functional commission of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
The CSW is instrumental in promoting women's rights, documenting the reality of women's lives throughout the world, and shaping global standards of gender equality and empowerment of women.

Q: Neo4j: Create nodes via CYPHER/REST slow I try to create/update nodes via the REST API with Cypher's MERGE-statement. Each node has attributes of ca. 1kb (sum of all sizes). I create/update 1 node per request. (I know there are other ways to create lots of nodes in a batch, but this is not the question here.)
I use Neo4j community 2.1.6 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (24 CPUs, 64GB) and the database directory resides on a SAN drive. I get a rate of 4 - 6 nodes per second. Or in other words, a single create or update takes around 200ms. This seems rather slow for me.
The query looks like this:
MERGE (a:TYP1 { name: {name}, version: {version} })
SET
    a.ATTR1={param1},
    a.ATTR2={param2},
    a.ATTR3={param3},
    a.ATTR4={param4},
    a.ATTR5={param5}
return id(a)

There is an index on name, version and two of the attributes.
Why does it take so long? And what can I try to improve the situation?
I could imagine that one problem is that every request must create a new connection? Is there a way to keep the http connection open for multiple requests?

A: For a query I'm pretty sure you can only use one index per query per label, so depending on your data they index usage might not be efficient.
As far as a persistent connection, that is possible, though I think it would depend on the library you're using to connect to the REST API.  In the ruby neo4j gem we use the Faraday gem which has a NetHttpPersistent adapter.

A: *

*The index is only used when you use ONE attribute with MERGE

*If you need to merge on both, create a compound property, index it (or better use a constraint) and merge on that compound property

*Use ON CREATE SET otherwise you (over-)write the attributes everytime, even if you didn't actually create the node.

Adapted Statement
MERGE (a:TYP1 { name_version: {name_version} })
ON CREATE SET
    a.version = {version}
    a.name = {name}
    a.ATTR1={param1},
    a.ATTR2={param2},
    a.ATTR3={param3},
    a.ATTR4={param4},
    a.ATTR5={param5}
return id(a)

A: This is an example of how you can execute a batch of cypher queries from nodejs in one communication with the Neo4j.
To run it,

*

*get nodejs installed (if you don't have it already)

*get a token from  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer giving you access to user_groups

*run it as > node {yourFileName}.js {yourToken}

prerequisites:
var request=require("request") ;
var graph = require('fbgraph');
graph.setAccessToken(process.argv[2]);

function now() {
    instant = new Date();
    return instant.getHours()
        +':'+ instant.getMinutes()
        +':'+ instant.getSeconds()
        +'.'+ instant.getMilliseconds();
}

Get facebook data:
graph.get('me?fields=groups,friends', function(err,res) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        throw now() +' Could not get groups from faceBook';
    }

Create cypher statements
    var batchCypher = [];
    res.groups.data.forEach(function(group) {
        var singleCypher = {
            "statement" : "CREATE (n:group{group}) RETURN n, id(n)",
            "parameters" : { "group" : group }
        }
        batchCypher.push(singleCypher);

Run them one by  one
        var fromNow = now();
        request.post({
            uri:"http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/commit",
            json:{statements:singleCypher}
        }, function(err,res) {
            if (err) {
                console.log('Could not commit '+ group.name);
                throw err;
            }
            console.log('Used '+ fromNow +' - '+ now() +' to commit '+ group.name);
            res.body.results.forEach(function(cypherRes) {
                console.log(cypherRes.data[0].row);
            });
        })
    });

Run them in batch
    var fromNow = now();
    request.post({
        uri:"http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/commit",
        json:{statements:batchCypher}
    }, function(err,res) {
        if (err) {
            console.log('Could not commit the batch');
            throw err;
        }
        console.log('Used '+ fromNow +' - '+ now() +' to commit the batch');
    })
});

The log shows that a transaction for 5 groups is significantly slower than a transactions for 1 group but significantly faster than 5 transactions for 1 group each.

Looking out over the ocean in the small hours
Saturn and Mars are in Sagittarius, above the centaur's bow targeting its arrow at the scorpion's heart. The ocean lies below: follow it in a straight line beyond Scorpio and there'd be no disturbance before Antarctica.
The stars sit in their own perfect harmony, and long ago we imposed our own small skirmishes. Another centaur (there are two centaurs in the sky, Sagittarius and Centaurus – blame the Greeks and the Sumerians, each with their own stories), low and to the right of the scorpion's whiplash, prepares to kill, aiming a spear at the heart of the wolf (the constellation Lupus).
Adjacent to the scorpion's head lies Jupiter. Extending down behind them runs the Milky Way. Above lie the eagle, lyre and swan. They rest easy in the skies, as if disdainful of the violence.
The proximity of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn to each other tonight is a happy accident.
All the while, on the low rugged cliffs below, the shearwaters call, groan and wail into the night, I'm told it's a mating call, an unreal sound, owing out of the silence. There seems to be no special time of night for the shearwater. They open up when they will, only quieten as dawn approaches.
Last night there was a small church service, maybe eight people singing hymns to tunes on a soft harmonium which had a quiet almost valedictory quality. The average age of the audience would be late seventies, and the lady leading the service of similar antiquity. I thought maybe unkindly that it wouldn't be too long before they were joining the silence of ocean and sky.
As I write the Turks are strengthening their hold on Afrin, and under semi-desert skies the stars I'm watching now circle as they have done on timescales unimaginable to human conflict. I chanced last night (ask not why) on descriptions of the burying alive of whole armies by the victors in the period of the Warring States which ended in the victory of the Qin dynasty. We're talking of China, over two thousand years ago.
The Chinese poet LiPo caught the same mood:
The bright moon lifts from the Mountain of Heaven/In an infinite haze of cloud and sea,/And the wind, that has come a thousand miles,/Beats at the Jade Pass battlements…./China marches its men down Baideng Road/While Tartar troops peer across blue waters of the bay….
A point of difference: no moon tonight. And no Tartar hordes.
A satellite on a circumpolar orbit moves slowly overhead, flashing maybe every five seconds, the brightest object in the sky. I assume it's rotating slowly, with a mirror side that picks up the sun's rays.
Other nights there have been small single-manned fishing boats out on the night ocean, revealing themselves every so often by a bright light, soon extinguished.
The stars circle on a time scale imaginable to modern man, and millennia ago we placed our own small-scale conflicts in the sky, bearing arrows and spears, taking on the scorpion , keeping it well away from the heels it could sting. Modern conflict is brutal and earthbound, and has no place other than the hard earth, and the dust of the debris.

Irreversibility – and the British experience
History is, arguably, about continuity, but there are discontinuities, irreversible events which turn countries and civilisations before their due time.
Take, for example, the sudden and irreversible though predictable demise of Constantinople, taken down by the scimitars of the Ottomans, the last great assertion of Islamic power which finally ended before the gates of Vienna in 1685. 1685 could have been another irreversible event. Almost a thousand years before, what if the Muslim invader had won at Poitiers in 735?
What of Carthage, Nineveh, and many another ancient city, destroyed by invaders who tore down walls and buildings determined that none should rise again? The Sassanid empire, its borders and eminence taken over by Islam. ….
The slow demise of empires, most famously the Roman Empire, frontiers slowly eroded. Empires that had long sown their own seeds of destruction. We could add Christian Russia, or the Chinese empire under the Qing dynasty. ….
Countries, or, better, peoples, which we might consider blameless, who suffered in the backwash of history, Hungary, at Versailles in 1919, Greece post 1922. Hungary had the misfortune to be second string in a great and tired empire. Greece thought its moment had come, invaded Asia Minor, and reaped a whirlwind.
Greece's was a catastrophic error of judgement. So too the British attempt to regain control of the Suez Canal in 1956. If any event symbolises the end of the British Empire, that was it.
And we have another, a very British category. Humdrum by comparison. We could argue a British speciality. Self-willed catastrophic errors of judgement. Misreading the current world order and our place in it, and misreading history, cocooned within notions of imperial sway and influence which simply are no more, failing to recognise that we operate today within spheres of influence, economic and political.
The current vehicle for such unwisdom – one could say stupidity – a referendum. Which by definition is irreversible. Maybe the greatest British contribution to the world has been reversibility. Policy has to persuade, cannot be implemented by diktat, can always be reversed. Compare Xi Jinping, Erdogan, Putin, all with their own imperial aspirations.
We gave to the world, and we now take away, by our own hand.
Spring, Michele Hanson, Pinker, Kahneman, Brexit, Ursula LeGuin – a few one-sentence blogs
Time is pressing and I'm off on holiday to an island where I'll face south across the ocean and follow the sun, and climb up to the cloud forest behind. But there are blogs that I've wanted to write. So I thought – how about a blog of single sentence. (Max two, but you'll see how this expands.)
Brexit: in his speech to his party's spring conference yesterday, LibDem leader Vince Cable argued that "nostalgia for a world where passports were blue, faces were white and the map was coloured imperial pink" had driven some older voters to Brexit. In response to the uproar from some in the Tory ranks I'd simply say that some truths are self-evident – and add the reminder that without anti-immigrant sentiment Brexit would have been decisively defeated.
Michele Hanson: the Guardian columnist died a few days ago, after 34 years (I think) of writing a column for the Guardian. I knew her a little back in the 70s, we had mutual friends, and I've caught up today with a few of the columns I didn't read, and found them both downbeat and upbeat, wise, warm and rather wonderful – whether she's writing on care homes, dogs, family, personal hygiene – she engaged so many people with moments and issues in life they could connect with.
At the other extreme my old bete noir, the fluffy-white-haired guru Steven Pinker, paired in this instance with the 18th century Scottish genius-philosopher, David Hume, whom Pinker neglects to mention when talking about the enlightenment – and who stated clearly and succinctly that "reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions". In other words, don't give reason space which it oughtn't to have – give it, I'd argue, shared space, let one inform the other, and take both out beyond our private lives into the public sphere.
Thoughts from Tim Harford in the FT, quoting Daniel Kahneman: "When faced with a difficult question we often answer an easier one instead, usually without noticing the substitution." In the case of the referendum the difficult question being "Should the UK remain in the EU", and the easier substitution "Do I like the way this country is going".
The last item was two sentences – so I'm adding a third from Harford as a separate item – a rather obvious cheat. "No voter can master every issue … referendums instead invite us to ignore the question, give the snake-oil peddlars an edge, concentrate our ignorance into a tightly-focused beam, and hold nobody accountable for results." Right on.
For something completely different … Alexander Harris in the Tate Etc Magazine: "So I became a collector of early autumn evenings. In the ancient analogy … the time of youth is spring. But I remember only one or two spring days from my childhood – it is all autumn: the orange of the late crocosmia flowers meets the spotted yellow fringes of hawthorn leaves; blue skies deepen above glowing stone walls, and then it all softens to a yellowy grey haze…" That set me thinking, and I only half-agree, and maybe that's because my pre-eminent spring memory is of a day in May walking in the Cheshire hills with my first girlfriend, and spring was suffused with birdsong and a funny feeling of elation, of walking on air, that I've never quite recaptured …
(Treating Alexander Harris' quote as one sentence …)
A quote from Neil Collins, an old-friend from the 70s who I haven't seen in maybe forty years, in the FT, in the context of the collapse of Toys R Us and Maplins: "Is yours a zombie company… [zombie being] defined as a company that has failed to earn its interest cost for two consecutive years and is valued at less than three times sales. …[The Deutsche Bank] comprehensive analysis of the world's 3000 biggest businesses implies that more of them [this year than last] have discovered a strategy for survival – [instead of just] clinging on, merely waiting a mercy killing from rising interest rates." Two reasons for including: one, a reminder to me and anyone who enjoys abstruse speculation that there's a hard business world out there, and if we choose to rant against capitalism we have to remember how bloody hard and ruthless the business world is … and, two, whatever's happening in High Street retail, things are getting slightly better – are they???
Rediscovering Ursula LeGuin, someone else who's died recently: there's a new book which collects together her non-fiction, 'Dreams Must Explain Themselves'. She had Taoist beliefs … that established an instant bond – the Tao, or Dao, the way, is the wisest, simplest yet most all-encompassing of notions; and she admired Calvino, Borges, Woolf, Twain, Tolstoy and Tolkien. And how about: "To think that realistic fiction is by definition superior to imaginative fiction is to think that imitation is superior to invention." I'll add my own comment – never curtail that sense of wonder, of fantasy and myth – walk on the wild as well as the wise side.
Four sentences. Time to exit.

Anger, #MeToo, charities and a whole lot else
Too much anger out there. Too many hardened positions. We've focused down on issues which polarise, divide families. If it came to war, would we fight each other? We did in our own English civil war, in the USA, in the Balkans.
We're never so confident in our own opinions, if we're on our own, most of us anyway. But find support within a group, and there's an identifiable 'severity shift' to use the term that Daniel Kahneman and others have applied. And it's not just opinions: 'We don't know how we feel until we see how other people feel.' (Tim Harford, FT.) Feelings and opinions are elided.
Opinions and feelings have always differed radically, but we've mostly kept our more extreme opinions to ourselves. Not least our xenophobic attitudes. But post 2016, post referendum, post Trump, the gloves are off. Referenda are yes and no, and no comeback. You're the victor or the loser. No live-to-fight-another-day – no next election four or five years down the road. And Trump – it could have been a referendum, was a referendum, on two ever more polarised approaches to life. We're also now feeding off America. We've our own rust belt, though we're spared the bible belt.
We've happily talked of social groups down the years. Now we talk of tribes. Tribal loyalties. Without the common ground the share space inbetween politics is a whole lot more risky. And if money piles in…
I'm thinking race, refugees, immigration, resistance to globalisation, ideas of sovereignty…
But there are other issues, including gender, sex and charities, out there, generating strong opinions, new divisions, new solidarities, and the press piling in often with little regard for rational examination or perspectives.
#MeToo – we have Weinstein, a serial offender. We have Woody Allen put alongside him, on the basis of an offence where he's been cleared by two enquiries. Which isn't to say he's not guilty… But he is being damned by association. Likewise his films.
But – as a man – this is one issue where I tread carefully. The severity shift (see above) is reaping big dividends. When the individual is reinforced by the group, and finds space to speak out as they never did before. Sometimes this works for good. Minor offenders get swept up, but it was ever thus.
But what of charities, and Oxfam in particular? Damned out of sight by many, reported as if sex and charity were interwoven. Aid workers generally, not least Oxfam aid workers, do extraordinary work, under sometimes extreme conditions. The same human impulses, individuals mapping out their own space, finding a role, exercising power – they will always exist. Sex is another matter altogether. Oxfam in the Haiti case dealt with that, but not ruthlessly enough. But who imagined running an aid agency was easy? This is not for a moment to excuse – but it is to argue for, to demand, that we employ perspective, and not ride too readily with an eye-catching story.
There's another side to this of course – the excuse it's given to many with axes to grind on the subject of foreign aid to pile in, using scandal to try and subvert the whole process – arguing that countries would be better off without subventions from outside, without the help of aid workers. There have long been arguments over how aid should be distributed – whether through governments, or channelled direct to local industries, at one level – and as emergency relief, at another level. The sex scandal is now being used to attack the whole aid edifice. We're back to the closed border, devil-take-the-refugees, approach that corrupted Brexit.
I argued in my last blog for reason and the pursuit of reason, and the importance of compassion to drive that pursuit. I fear reason is being misapplied, and compassion is running short. But that of course is one trouble with 'reason'. It can be used to support both sides in an argument. The more we know about a subject often means not a wiser more balanced view, but a more strident approach – the information you choose and use to support your argument has been gathered for just that purpose. It's called confirmation bias.
I argued in my recent post on Orwell for perspective and self-awareness. But they are in short supply just now. Confirmation bias has always been out there, but surely never as stridently as now.

the crucible vs real life
the crucible vs reality
Learning From the Past The Salem Witch Trials were an extremely controversial amount of time in our history. This was a time of suspicion and allegation of lots of innocent women and guys that caused hysteria and total turmoil in Salem Village. The Crucible depicts the Salem Witch Trials in a significant sense, however there are many similarities between the movie and the actual occasions. We can utilize these uncommon events to compare to our own lives and gain from the mistakes of our past. I've found that although many differences are displayed between the motion picture and the real events, the general theme of The Crucible was accurate.
Among the differences was the relationship in between John Proctor and Abigail Williams. In the film, their relationship had a far more intimate history than what actually happened. They portrayed the set to have had romantic relations, which developed a large shift in the plot of the film. In real life, Proctor and Williams had no connection other than residing in the exact same town prior to the witch trials. Likewise, another significant difference was the character of Giles Corey. In the film, he was pressed to death because he would not quit a name.
In the actual events, Giles survived, however he was excommunicated from the church. He was really against the hangings that happened, nevertheless, his name was re-entered onto the church scrolls in later years. The very first resemblance I saw was the character of Reverend Hale. In the beginning, all he wanted was to utilize his church authority to assist the people, but after the events left hand, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with the Salem Witch Trials. He was a big fan of John Proctor. Another resemblance was that all of this hysteria started in the home of Mr.
Samuel Parris, involving his children and their good friends after events of witchcraft in the woods. Arthur Miller, the director of The Crucible, used an "artistic license" to dramatize the events, and to make the general movie more interesting to the audiences. Some may discover this method unfair, nevertheless, I discover that the changes he made didn't display an unreliable variation of the Salem Witch Trials. The largest modification that he made to the story was the love connection in between Abigail Williams and John Proctor, and although that was false to the ctual events, I discovered that it offered the movie an interesting twist. Besides the couple of distinctions, Miller remained along the lines of the real story when it came to the actual hangings, character significances, and the tale of how the hysteria really started along with who was mainly included. When comparing the similarities and distinctions, many situations exist where the motion picture was area on with the trials in 1692. Although there are significant differences, I think that this did not remove from the historic facts, which Miller appropriately utilized his creative license.
The serious lies and accusations which occurred in Salem during these trials appear so extreme that it would be difficult to compare to life today. However, constantly in our modern day, it seems that some still haven't gained from the errors of the past. Although not as severe as the hangings and incorrect accusations that were shown in the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, the "breaking of charity" still proves to damage relationships and relationships today. An example of this sort of situation could be an envious good friend beginning a nasty rumour.

Although it might seem harmless in the beginning, the wildfire of chatter can travel even quicker the good friend might imagine. If sufficient individuals think and continue to spread the lie, this person could possibly lose numerous buddies and have an enduring impact on their life, causing unhappiness and unfair treatment. Not to point out, the relationship in between the victim and the rumour-starter would be severed until the circumstance is fully dissolved. Regardless of the truth that events of this today hardly ever lead to death or the destruction of a close-knit town, the consequences of lies can take an extreme impact on relationships to many individuals.
In conclusion, the details of the real Salem Trials and the motion picture The Crucible have lots of resemblances and differences that are depicted throughout history. I think that Miller's use of an "creative license" is reasonable, and likewise think that the events of the witch trials can even compare to situations in life today. It's possible to discover many lessons from this serious spiritual type of control, and many different opinions are portrayed throughout both the motion picture and the real happenings.

After Raising $2.1M, TiKL Opens Their Mobile Chat/Voice Calling API To Developers
Greg Kumparak	@grg / 8 years
For a company that has somehow stayed mostly off the tech press' radar, TiKL has had a pretty friggin' good year.
With $0 spent on marketing, its two mobile apps, TiKL Touch To Talk and Talkray, have nabbed a total of 28 million downloads. After taking part in Y Combinator's Winter 2012 class, they raised a $2.1 million Series A from some of the biggest names in the Valley.
Today TiKL is unveiling the other half of its business strategy: the Talkray API.
(Before we dive much deeper, a quick bit of background on what their apps actually do: TiKL Touch To Talk is a walkie-talkie app, bringing cross-platform push-to-talk-functionality to Android and iPhone. Talkray is a broader communications app, with things like group calling and voice mail.)
Using their new API, TiKL says mobile developers will be able to easily add text chats (both one-on-one and group chats), voice calling for groups as large as 25, voice mail, image and video transfers, and just about any other feature from the Talkray app into their own applications and games on iOS or Android.
Speaking of games, that's actually where TiKL says they've seen the most demand for an API like this — hence the timing of the launch, which coincides with this week's Game Developer Conference. They're keeping the API generic enough to work in any app, but they expect a pretty big chunk of their customers to be game devs.
TiKL still hasn't settled on exactly how they'll charge for the use of their API, but it'll be completely free during the initial beta stage. Interested developers can sign up for an invite to the private beta here.
Now, about that $2.1 million Series A: TiKL actually closed the round a few months ago but kept it under wraps until mentioning it in passing during our phone call. TiKL says the round was funded primarily by General Catalyst, and was backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Lerer Ventures and SV Angel.
Of their 28 million app downloads, their first app, TiKL Walkie-Talkie, accounts for 27 million and has found most of its user base in the U.S. and South Korea. Their second app, the Talkray app from which their new API gets its name, makes up the other million and is most popular in the Middle East. Alas, TiKL declined to comment on how many of their 28 million downloads were active users.

Absalom, Absalom!
Absalom, Absalom! is a novel by the American author William Faulkner, first published in 1936. Taking place before, during, and after the Civil War, it is a story about three families of the American South, with a focus on the life of Thomas Sutpen.
First edition cover
George Salter[1]
Southern Gothic
LC Class
The Unvanquished
Plot summaryEdit
Absalom, Absalom! details the rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen, a white man born into poverty in West Virginia who comes to Mississippi with the complementary aims of gaining wealth and becoming a powerful family patriarch. The story is told entirely in flashbacks narrated mostly by Quentin Compson to his roommate at Harvard University, Shreve, who frequently contributes his own suggestions and surmises. The narration of Rosa Coldfield, and Quentin's father and grandfather, are also included and re-interpreted by Shreve and Quentin, with the total events of the story unfolding in nonchronological order and often with differing details. This results in a peeling-back-the-onion revelation of the true story of the Sutpens. Rosa initially narrates the story, with long digressions and a biased memory, to Quentin Compson, whose grandfather was a friend of Sutpen's. Quentin's father then fills in some of the details to Quentin. Finally, Quentin relates the story to his roommate Shreve, and in each retelling, the reader receives more details as the parties flesh out the story by adding layers. The final effect leaves the reader more certain about the attitudes and biases of the characters than about the facts of Sutpen's story.
Thomas Sutpen arrives in Jefferson, Mississippi, with some slaves and a French architect who has been somehow forced into working for him. Sutpen obtains one hundred square miles of land from a local Native American tribe and immediately begins building a large plantation called Sutpen's Hundred, including an ostentatious mansion. All he needs to complete his plan is a wife to bear him a few children (particularly a son to be his heir), so he ingratiates himself with a local merchant and marries the man's daughter, Ellen Coldfield. Ellen bears Sutpen two children, a son named Henry and a daughter named Judith, both of whom are destined for tragedy.
Henry goes to the University of Mississippi and meets fellow student Charles Bon, who is ten years his senior. Henry brings Charles home for Christmas, and Charles and Judith begin a quiet romance that leads to a presumed engagement. However, Thomas Sutpen realizes that Charles Bon is his son from an earlier marriage and moves to stop the proposed union.
Sutpen had worked on a plantation in the French West Indies as overseer and, after subduing a slave uprising, was offered the hand of the plantation owner's daughter, Eulalia Bon. She bore him a son, Charles. Sutpen had not known that Eulalia was of mixed race until after the marriage and birth of Charles, but when he found out that he had been deceived, he renounced the marriage as void and left his wife and child (though leaving them his fortune as part of his own moral recompense). The reader also later learns of Sutpen's childhood, when young Thomas learned that society could base human worth on material worth. It is this episode that sets into motion Thomas' plan to start a dynasty.
When Sutpen tells Henry that Charles is his half-brother and that Judith must not be allowed to marry him, Henry refuses to believe it, repudiates his birthright, and accompanies Charles to his home in New Orleans. They then return to Mississippi to enlist in their University company, joining the Confederate Army to fight in the Civil War. During the war, Henry wrestles with his conscience until he presumably resolves to allow the marriage of half-brother and sister; this resolution changes, however, when Sutpen reveals to Henry that Charles is part black. At the conclusion of the war, Henry enacts his father's interdiction of marriage between Charles and Judith, killing Charles at the gates to the mansion and then fleeing into self-exile.
Thomas Sutpen returns from the war and begins to repair his dynasty and his home, whose hundred square miles have been reduced by carpetbaggers and punitive northern action to one square mile. He proposes to Rosa Coldfield, his dead wife's younger sister, and she accepts. However, Sutpen insults Rosa by demanding that she bear him a son before the wedding takes place, prompting her to leave Sutpen's Hundred. Sutpen then begins an affair with Milly, the 15-year-old granddaughter of Wash Jones, a squatter who lives on the Sutpen property. The affair continues until Milly becomes pregnant and gives birth to a daughter. Sutpen is terribly disappointed, because the last hope of repairing his Sutpen dynasty rested on Milly giving birth to a son. Sutpen casts Milly and the child aside, telling them that they are not worthy of sleeping in the stables with his horse, who had just sired a male. An enraged Wash Jones kills Sutpen, his own granddaughter, Sutpen's newborn daughter, and finally himself by resisting arrest.
The story of Thomas Sutpen's legacy ends with Quentin taking Rosa back to the seemingly abandoned Sutpen's Hundred plantation, where they find Henry Sutpen and Clytemnestra (Clytie), the daughter of Thomas Sutpen by a slave woman. Henry has returned to the estate to die. Three months later, when Rosa returns with medical help for Henry, Clytie mistakes them for law enforcement and starts a fire that consumes the plantation and kills Henry and herself. The only remaining Sutpen is Jim Bond, Charles Bon's black grandson, a young man with severe mental handicaps, who remains on Sutpen's Hundred.
AnalysisEdit
Like other Faulkner novels, Absalom, Absalom! allegorizes Southern history; the title itself is an allusion to a wayward son fighting the empire his father built, much like the Biblical story of King David and Absalom.[2] The history of Thomas Sutpen mirrors the rise and fall of Southern plantation culture. Sutpen's failures necessarily reflect the weaknesses of an idealistic South. Rigidly committed to his "design," Sutpen proves unwilling to honor his marriage to a part-black woman, setting in motion his own destruction. Discussing Absalom, Absalom!, Faulkner stated that the curse under which the South labors is slavery, and Thomas Sutpen's personal curse, or flaw, was his belief that he was too strong to need to be a part of the human family.[3]
Absalom, Absalom! juxtaposes ostensible fact, informed guesswork, and outright speculation, with the implication that reconstructions of the past remain irretrievable and therefore imaginative[citation needed]. Faulkner stated that although none of the narrators got the facts right, since "no one individual can look at truth," there is a truth and the reader can ultimately know it.[4] Most critics have tried to reconstruct this truth behind the shifting narratives, or to show that such a reconstruction cannot be done with certainty or even to prove that there are factual and logical inconsistencies that cannot be overcome. But some critics have stated that, fictional truth being an oxymoron, it is best to take the story as a given, and regard it on the level of myth and archetype, a fable that allows us to glimpse the deepest levels of the unconscious and thus better understand the people who accept (and are ruled by) that myth—Southerners in general and Quentin Compson in particular.[5]
By using various narrators expressing their interpretations, the novel alludes to the historical cultural zeitgeist of Faulkner's South, where the past is always present and constantly in states of revision by the people who tell and retell the story over time; it thus also explores the process of myth-making and the questioning of truth.
The use of Quentin Compson as the primary perspective (if not exactly the focus) of the novel makes it something of a companion piece to Faulkner's earlier work The Sound and the Fury, which tells the story of the Compson Family, with Quentin as a main character. Although the action of that novel is never explicitly referenced, the Sutpen family's struggle with dynasty, downfall, and potential incest parallel the familial events and obsessions that drive Quentin and Miss Rosa Coldfield to witness the burning of Sutpen's Hundred.[6]
Influence and significanceEdit
Absalom, Absalom, along with The Sound and the Fury, helped Faulkner win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 2009, a panel of judges called Absalom, Absalom! the best Southern novel of all time.[7]
The title refers to the Biblical story of Absalom, a son of David who rebelled against his father (then King of Kingdom of Israel) and who was killed by David's general Joab in violation of David's order to deal gently with his son, causing heartbreak to David.
The 1983 Guinness Book of World Records says the "Longest Sentence in Literature" is a sentence from Absalom, Absalom! containing 1,288 words.[8] The sentence can be found in Chapter 6; it begins with the words "Just exactly like father", and ends with "the eye could not see from any point". The passage is entirely italicized and incomplete.
The final lyric of Distant Early Warning, a single released by the Canadian rock band Rush, is the word 'Absalom' repeated three times. Drummer Neil Peart, the band's lyricist, said he "loved the sound of" the title of Faulkner's novel and was inspired to look up the Biblical story of Absalom after reading the novel. "Since one of the main themes of the song was compassion, it occurred to me that the Biblical story was applicable."[9]

Ross Ulbricht Found Guilty on All Charges
Ross Ulbricht is the man behind the alias "Dread Pirate Roberts", known to be the creator and owner of the digital black market Silk Road. On February 4, 2015, he was found guilty on all seven federal charges, and faces up to a lifetime in prison.
1564 Total views
For the past four weeks, prosecutors in New York have sought to prove that Ulbricht is the (in)famous Dread Pirate Roberts, and is therefore guilty of drug trafficking, running a criminal enterprise, orchestrating a conspiracy to sell fake IDs, conspiring to sell hacking tools, and involvement in money laundering. A mountain of evidence was presented throughout the sittings, including Ulbricht's personal diary, loads of chat logs, a trail of hundreds of thousands of bitcoins from the Silk Road to his laptop, confessions of an old friend, and public details about Ulbricht's life.
The heaps of evidence brought against Ulbricht seemed almost incontrovertible. But false nonetheless, the defense contended. In his final closing statements on Tuesday, Ulbricht's lawyer Joshua Dratel maintained that Ulbricht did indeed create the Silk Road, but merely did so as an experimental free marketplace.
He never intended for it to become the digital drug bazaar that it turned out to be, nor was he involved with the website for most of its existence. Instead, he sold it to someone bearing the alias Dread Pirate Roberts, or DPR, who in turn made the Silk Road into the phenomenon it was. After having ran the website for several years, DPR's exit plan was said to be cunning as it was dirty: he lured Ulbricht back to the Silk Road, planted evidence on his computer through BitTorrent, and perhaps even pointed three-letter-agencies in his direction. Or so Dratel wanted the jury to believe – to no avail.
Although the verdict came as no surprise to many onlookers, Ulbricht's defense contended that this was in large part because evidence favorable to Ulbricht was blocked from the courtroom by judge Katherine Forrest. Most notable of all, Forrest denied the appearance of Andreas Antonopoulos as an expert witness on Bitcoin, as well as that of Columbia University computer science professor Steven Bellovin (PDF).
On top of that – according to Ulbricht's defense as well as his supporters and some journalists – Forrest sustained a disproportionate amount of the prosecutor's objections against almost all of Dratel's input ever since he suggested Ulbricht might have been framed. "The defense was shackled. It's not fair," Ulbricht's mother Lyn told reporters. The defense will go into higher appeal.
For now, however, with only two days of sittings in this fourth and final week, the Silk Road trial comes to an end. After the prosecution had concluded their allegations of Ulbricht's involvement in attempted murder-for-hire plots – itself not one of the charges of this New York trial but part of another trial in Baltimore – the defense's rebuttal of the weeks-long stacking of evidence turned out to be surprisingly short.
This was probably in part because the judge blocked some of the expert witnesses – such as Antonopoulos – from appearing. But also because Ulbricht himself declined to testify in his own defense. The only witnesses that did appear on behalf of the defense were three of Ulbricht's old friends, who told the jury that Ulbricht was a kind and gentle guy.
As a key part of his closing statements before the jury went into deliberation, Dratel had urged them not to trust any digital evidence, which of course constituted the bulk of all of the evidence. This digital evidence could after all easily have been manipulated, distorted, or indeed even planted, Dratel explained. "The Internet is not what it seems," he said. "We experience with our senses, with our perceptions. We make decisions based on facts we can rely on. There is a distinction between the Internet and IRL." According to Dratel, the chat logs were "edited, and sprinkled with facts about Mr. Ulbricht's life."
The jury had none of it.

The Monsanto Tribunal: A Report-Back
The Monsanto Tribunal was held from October 14th to October 16th in The Hague, Netherlands at the headquarters of the International Court of Justice. For two days, victims, experts, and witnesses from around the world shared their experiences with five internationally renowned judges in order to assess Monsanto's activities, particularly in terms of the right to food, the right to health, the right to a healthy environment, and the right to information.

The Tribunal of Monsanto was held from October 14th to October 16th in The Hague, Netherlands at the headquarters of the International Court of Justice.
For two days, agrochemical victims, experts, and witnesses from around the world shared their experiences with five internationally renowned judges in order to assess Monsanto's activities, particularly in terms of the right to food, the right to health, the right to a healthy environment, and the right to information.
Corinne Lepage, the former French Minister of the Environment, had the honor of opening the trial by stating the purpose of the Tribunal and its symbolic nature: "Its function isn't to condemn Monsanto under either criminal or civil law, but instead to state the law and answer questions regarding the compliance or non-compliance of Monsanto's behavior with the rules of international law."
While Monsanto did not attend the tribunal nor bring witnesses (and even wrote a letter in reply to the tribunal claiming its nonsense), the tribunal, by many accounts, was a success. Several hundred participants gathered for the proceedings, including 30 witnesses from Bangladesh, the United States, Colombia, Burkina Faso, and Argentina, to name a few. FromÂÂÂ transgenic corn in Mexico to transgenic soy in Argentina; from cotton in India to Glyphosate product contaminations worldwide – the tribunal explored a wide range of testimonies and evidence.
Sabine Grataloup was the first witness before tribunal judges. She made a moving speech on behalf of her nine-year-old son, Théo, who is suffering from esophagus and trachea malformations; Sabine used to spray glyphosate products in her backyard during her pregnancy. Theo had been through 50 surgeries since his birth.
Another witness was Paul François, a French farmer who was poisoned by Lasso, one of Monsanto's herbicides, and won a court case against Monsanto afterwards. He attended the tribunal to give hope to victims that are willing to sue Monsanto, but also to talk about the unbearable pressure that he went through during the legal proceeding because of Monsanto's threats.
The tribunal also welcomed several legal and scientific experts, including Timothy Litzenburg, an American lawyer who represented Americans that developed non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma correlated with glyphosate product exposure. He witnessed at Christine Sheppard's side, a coffee producer with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.[1] Other experts were also present, such as Damian Verzeñassi, an Argentinian socio-environmental health teacher who spoke about the impact of GMOs and Roundup on human health, and the American biologist Don Huber, who demonstrated the impact of Monsanto's activities on soils and plants.
Monsanto's impact on farmers and the right to food were also represented by several witnesses, including Farida Akher, a spokesperson for the Nayakrishi Andolor farmers' movement in Bangladesh, who discussed how Monsanto is taking Bangladeshi farmers' seeds and attempting to impose its GM eggplants without their consent.
The second day, many experts, toxicologists, agronomists, and academic researchers witnessed the pressure that Monsanto is placing on institutions and stakeholders in order to protect its interests. Perhaps one of the most emblematic examples is the case of Claire Robinson, a British editor at GM Watch who talked about Monsanto's smear campaigns against scientists who cast doubt on the safety of Monsanto's products, especially about the study, the study of a French scientist demonstrating the long-term toxicity of the Roundup and which have been censored by Food and Chemical Toxicology in 2013.
What are the benefits and the goals of the tribunal? What can we expect from it?
Through two days of testimonies and debates, the tribunal provided a common space where victims could meet and exchange their experiences. It enabled them to identify themselves with other people who went through a similar situation. "For some victims it was also an opportunity to escape from massive loneliness. When you are a rice farmer in the depths of Sri Lanka, it's hard to imagine you could ever get to speak in front of real judges," explained Marie-Monique Robin, the tribunal's convener pointed out during her concluding speech. Since the tribunal was independent and impartial and was constituted with well-known and experienced judges, it helped to restore trust between civil society and the legal system – a point that was highlighted several times within those two days.
The original objective of the tribunal was to get an "advisory opinion" from the judges, which would give legal tools to the victims, the judges, and the lawyers – ultimately enabling them to pursue corporate liability in the future. Additionally, the tribunal is meant to advance international law towards the recognition of the crime of Ecocide as a fifth crime that would be add to the four crimes already recognized by the international court: the crime against humanity, the crime of genocide, the crime of aggression and the war crime. In her closing speech, the Judge Tulkens, chairwoman of the Tribunal and former vice-President of the European Court of Human Rights, made it clear that throughout the two days, the judges did understand the need to recognize the crime of Ecocide. Nonetheless, she emphasized the role of the civil society in this change: "But it's up to civil society. The law follows things and events, so it will be thanks to you that the law could change, and thanks to your movements." Marie-Monique Robin concluded in the same spirit, making a particular point about the role of glyphosate in this issue, "I hope the crime of Ecocide will be recognized and preparing the program of these auditions, it seemed to me obvious that glyphosate, as such, this herbicide, is an instrument of ecocide, because it damages the health of soils, plants, animals and humans. Isn't it a good definition for Ecocide?"
When will the Advisory Opinion be issued?
The Judge Tulkens' answer was straightforward: "Neither too early, nor too late." According to her, an opinion could be issued on December 10th for Human Rights Day, or even in April for Earth Day – she wasn't able to set a date. One thing is sure, however – the community will be kept informed in order to "keep both the tension and the intention."
[1] Christine Sheppard is a coffee producer in Hawai that used to spray her fields with Roundup. She was the first farmer to sue Monsanto after being diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma; her case was emblematic, linking non-Hodgkin lymphoma glyphosate.


Lucky in Love Blog Hop – Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
Lucky in Love? Well, are you? It's a time of luck and wealth…or not. With each romance we find ourselves in a new world of love and memories. Are these just by chance? Is it luck? Welcome to the second annual Lucky in Love Blog Hop where we want to hear about your love, your romance, and how much you love St. Patrick's Day!!! Are you wearing green?

Of course, when he won, he always attributed it to skill and not luck! So when I hear the phrase, "Lucky in love," I always think of him.
St. Patrick's Day is also a reminder that I've been very lucky in love. My wedding anniversary is March 12, just a few days before. Galen and I have been married 8 years this March, and I couldn't ask for a better partner, friend and husband. As you can see from the picture, I'm also lucky in my friends.
We were married in Anchorage, while we lived there. Alaska still operates under some frontier laws. Any adult can get a one-day license to officiate at a wedding. So we had one of our friends conduct the ceremony, using vows that we wrote. It was much more personal for us, but I think Michael was probably even more nervous than we were!

I spent most of the evening telling him what I would and would not put up with in a relationship. He asked me out in spite of my attitude, and the rest is history. We got married 5 years later and are still very much in love. I would say I am very lucky in love. Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.

A single ministry will now oversee social and health-related services for seniors, in a bid to improve and streamline the delivery of services, announced Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat in his Budget speech on Monday (Feb 19).
SINGAPORE: A single ministry will now oversee social and health-related services for seniors, in a bid to improve and streamline the delivery of services, announced Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat in his Budget speech on Monday (Feb 19).
He said where some social aged care programmes were previously administered by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), they will be transferred to the Health Ministry from Apr 1.
These social programmes include those that come under the MSF's Senior Cluster Networks, including Senior Activity Centres (SACs), Cluster Support and other programmes such as its befriending services.
According to the Fei Yue Family Service Centre's website, the Senior Cluster Networks allow authorities to better reach out and support vulnerable seniors within each HDB town, help them stay engaged and receive more coordinated care.
The MSF currently assigns operators such as voluntary welfare organisations to carry out programmes under the Network.
Mr Heng said the move to have one ministry handling both health and social programmes for seniors will also allow such services to be "planned and delivered holistically".
He added that the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) will be designated the central implementation agency to coordinate services for seniors and their caregivers.
In a joint media release with the Ministry of Health, MSF said it will still retain oversight of senior group homes and sheltered homes, which are in line with its core role of looking after low-income and vulnerable Singaporeans.
It said the transfer follows an earlier exercise in 2013, where the oversight of social care services for frail seniors, including social daycare, home-based personal care and deliver meals, was transferred to the Health Ministry.
Mr Heng also said the Government would expand nationwide a pilot programme that brings together various government agencies and community partners to encourage seniors to remain active, link lonely seniors with new friends and care for the frail and vulnerable.
The programme will be progressively expanded to nationwide coverage by 2020, according to the joint media statement.
The Community Networks for Seniors (CNS) was announced during Budget 2016 and as a start, rolled out at to three pilot sites at Tampines, Marine Parade and Chua Chu Kang.
MSF said some 70 Residents' Committees (RCs) have been activated as part of CNS to hold regular preventive health and active ageing activities. As a result, more than 70,000 seniors have benefited from the programme.
It said work has already started to expand the programme to locations such as East Coast, Ang Mo Kio and Jurong.
He said the Pioneer Generation Office (PGO) will merge with the AIC to support the nationwide expansion of the network, and serve as AIC's arm in implementing the programme across the island.
The PGO was initially formed in 2014 to reach out to Pioneer Generation Singaporeans to explain government policies such as the Pioneer Generation Package and MediShield Life.
Additionally, it will reach out to all seniors aged 65 years and above.
"To reflect its enhanced role, the PGO will be renamed the Silver Generation Office," Mr Heng said.
Mr Heng also spoke about injecting funds to support seniors in ageing confidently within the community. He said the Community Silver Trust (CST) will be provided with a S$300 million top-up. The trust provides dollar-for-dollar matching for donations to eligible voluntary welfare organisations (VWOs) providing seniors with long-term care services.
The trust has matched some S$500 million in donations raised by more than 80 VWOs in the last six years.
Mr Heng said the trust will also be expanded to match donations raised for active ageing programmes, in a bid to support more initiatives.
In addition, the government will also provide a S$100 million top-up to the Seniors' Mobility and Enabling Fund (SMF), which provides subsidies for assistive devices and consumables.
"Another S$150 million will be spent over the next five years for transport to subsidised eldercare and dialysis centres," Mr Heng said.
Besides improving support for seniors, Mr Heng also touched on the delivery of social services to other groups. Thus, he said the role and capabilities of Social Services Offices (SSOs) will be strengthened in order to better coordinate the efforts of government agencies, VWOs and community partners.


Let's talk visas. After 90 glorious days in Colombia I thought why not 90 more? Here, 180 calendar days a year is what someone is allowed without obtaining a work visa or well, getting married, which I don't think is going to happen in the next few months.
There's a lot of great blogs online about the process which I combed and combed over as I prepared/super dreaded my trip into the main office in the capital city of Bogotá. However, in the end it was reeeeally easy and a little bit different than what I read so I thought I would make a little update.


So many typos, it's ridiculous. Especially for such a short story. Also, there wasn't much of a plot other than Deuce and Venice having sexual tension. It was still entertaining, so I wouldnt give it a 1 star. I was just underwhelmed.

Personal Loan Nandyal, 17 January 2020 from Punjab & Sind Bank
Wedding Loan from Punjab & Sind Bank in Nandyal
The city of Nandyal is situated in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. It functions as a municipality as well as the headquarter of the Nandyal Mandal in the Nandyal revenue division. There are over 2 lakh residents in this city and they speak in Telugu. The City was earlier known as Nandalluru. It receives its name from Nandi, the vehicle or "vahana" of Lord Shiva. The word Aalaya means house or abode in Sanskrit. The city of Nandyal is surrounded by nine Nandis. Hence, it was named as Nandi Aalaya. Over the time, the name got modified to Nandyala or Nandyal, which is the present name of the city. Nandyal is surrounded by nine temples of Nandi, the bull. These bull temples are collectively known as the Nava Nandi. The largest Nandi idol in the city is in Sri Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple. The Archaeological Survey of India claims that the rock grows at a rate of 1 inch in 20 years. Nandyal is a major hub of industries as well as agriculture. The city is rich in natural resources like marble. Additionally, there are numerous rice mills and oil mills in the area apart from a few industries that produce milk, soft drinks, sugar, PVC pipes, etc. A few famous companies like Milk Dairy, Nandi Polymers, S. P. Y. Agro and Nandi Steels have set up their units in the city.
Low interest rate Wedding Loan in Nandyal, 17 January 2020 from Punjab & Sind Bank
The Punjab and Sind Bank was established on 24th June 1908 with an idea to uplift the weaker section with the far-sighted vision of luminaries like Sir Sunder Singh Majitha, Bhai Vir Singh, and Sardar Tarlochan Singh. As on 31st March 2015, the net worth of the bank is Rs. 4812 crore. A Punjab & Sind Bank branch was established in London in the 1960s. In 1991, the Bank of Baroda acquired the Punjab & Sind Banks London branch on the request of the RBI based on the Punjab & Sinds involvement in the Sethia fraud. The Bank confirmed to have a network of 920 branches or extension counters and 63 ATMs spread across the country as of July 31, 2010. Notably, they have 49 specialized departments, out of the 920 offices. The government owns Punjab & Sind Bank, and it is based in New Delhi. Its 623 offices are in Punjab state out of 1554 branches spread all over India. The Punjab & Sind Bank sponsored a regional rural bank known as Sutlej Gramin Bank. The products of Punjab and Sind bank includes Debit Card, ATM, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, SMS Banking, BHIM, UPI, POS Machine, AADHAR PAY and BHARAT QR.


Launching a new automation project is challenging. There is a lot of pressure on your head to get it right and make sure it's a success. There's pressure to pick the project that makes the best use of resources. There's pressure to prove to others that your choice of project is the right one. There's pressure to demonstrate that the project was a success after it has been up and running for a while.
The problem is that you can't build a project by guesswork alone. You need data at every single stage of the process.
By using the right software. Insights is our cloud-based collaborative robot monitoring software. It allows you to monitor and analyze your robot's performance both in real-time and using historical data. It provides you with a reliable method to collect a lot of the data will need to build your new project.
In this article, I'll show how you can use Insights data throughout the entire process of building a new automation project.
Where does Insights fit into robot deployment?
During Design — This first phase is where you pick your robot application and plan the deployment. Data is most often used here to analyze the existing manual operation of a task, which means you have to record it manually instead of using software. However, you may be able to use Insights data if you have access to a collaborative robot during this phase. That way, you can run tests before you begin deployment as you'll see in the case study example below.
During Integration — Data can be very useful while you are integrating the robot into your process. In Insights, short-term time periods (e.g. daily view and hourly view) provide an immediate and clear visualization of the effects of any changes you make to the robot's programming.
During Operation — Insights really comes into its own when you are using it during the Operate phase of robot deployment. Data collected when your robot is running in production mode helps to ensure optimal use of the robot. Insights helps you to spot problems when they occur and allows you to improve the robot's productivity over time. Data collected at this stage is invaluable for proving the effectiveness of the robot.
Some people only consider the Integrate phase when they think of building a new automation project. However, as will see in the following case study, Insights data can be invaluable in the other two phases as well.
Let's take a couple of examples from our Case Study Library to show how Insights can be applied at every stage of a robot deployment.
Continental Automotive Spain — At the time this case study was produced, Insights didn't exist yet. However, it is a perfect example of the type of new project which can benefit from the data that Insights collects during the Design and Integrate phases of robot deployment.
Walt Machine Inc — By contrast, this case study does use Insights. It's is a great example of how the software's notifications are effective during the Operate phase of robot deployment. Although Insights wasn't available when they first began using robotics in 2016, they have easily integrated it into their process and, by doing so, saved themselves a lot of time.
Continental Automotive Spain is always looking for ways to innovate their production processes. In this case study, they were looking for ways to incorporate Industry 4.0 and to improve productivity. Their first collaborative robot project was to incorporate two UR10 robots into their PCB production process for quality testing and machine tending tasks.
Engineer Victor Cantón was chosen to lead the new project, a role which he accepted despite not having any experience using robots. With his solution, they were able to move workers away from non-value-added tasks and reduce the changeover time by 50%, allowing them to convert the line from one product model to another in only 20 minutes.
Here's how the team could have used Insights data during the Design and Integrate phases of the deployment.
Data during the Design phase is most useful for exploration and validation. At the time that the project was proposed, the company had already acquired a UR10 robot. This meant that Victor was able to run tests before the application was integrated into the line.
Insights can be very helpful during such exploratory tests. Victor could have run Insights on the test robot and used the real-time visual feedback to validate his design ideas and collect data to gradually improve the design of the robot cell.
Since Continental's first project, they have added eight more cobots to their line. For these subsequent projects, they could also have used the data they had collected from the first application to inform their choices about new projects.
Insights is very helpful during the Integrate phase. Participants of our RUC 24 Hour Challenge back in September — in which eight teams integrated a robotic production line in just one day — used Insights to monitor and tweak their robot application as it was developed. Insights data used at this stage can help you to quickly identify problems in the robot programming and see where the robot is wasting time.
Continental could have used Insights during this early stage of deployment to closely monitor the robot's operation and iron out any teething problems with the design. Also, one of the biggest challenges during integration occurs when robots are not communicating properly. Insights can help to overcome this challenge, as we discussed in the article How to Ensure Your Cells Are Talking to Each Other.
WALT Machine Inc's president, Tommy Caughey, first saw Universal Robots about 4 to 6 years ago and was very impressed. However, it wasn't until 2016 that he decided to make the jump and buy one for his business. What was it that convinced him? The Robotiq Plug + Play Wrist Camera that we brought out that year!
The robot allowed him to go away for 4-6 hours and leave the robot running, unattended, overnight. Most of the time, the robot easily achieved this and there were no break-downs. However, he was always a little bit worried that the robot make down.
That was, until Insights came along!
The Operate phase is when Insight's instant SMS and email notifications become a real help. When we released the software, Tommy Caughey added Insights to his robot. He now receives updates from the robot, sent straight to his mobile phone, when he's at his desk.
His team no longer have to manually count the number of parts made during the night shift, which frees up time to learn new skills and develop new robot applications using the data from Insights.
Validate the project — Both Continental and Walt Machine Inc, could have used Insights to demonstrate that the project was success. While they were able to show a 50% changeover time improvement using their existing analytics, they could also have shown more detail by analyzing the cobot-specific KPIs used in Insights.
Continuous improvement — There are always improvements that can be made to a robot process. Insights provides a simple way to analyze and identify areas for improvement. Both companies could have tracked their robot cell and improved productivity even further.
Seek out new projects — Finally, as the Continental case study showed, your first robot application is often only the start. The data you collect from Insights can help you to start building your next automation project and ensure it will be a success.
You can try out Insights for yourself within a matter of minutes by going to the Insights Demo at insights.robotiq.com.
Also, if you are considering a new automation project, Blueprints is a great way to get started as it will help you to clarify the application before you begin designing the robot cell.

Guild Wars 2 › News
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons now available for PC
by Adam Vitale on 28 February, 2022
NCSoft and ArenaNet have today released Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons, the third expansion to the MMORPG.
A new trailer can be found below alongside details via ArenaNet. More information and screenshots for the game can be seen in its July 2021 reveal.
End of Dragons, the eagerly-awaited third expansion to the award-winning MMORPG Guild Wars 2, launches today on Windows PC. Introducing a plethora of exciting new gameplay features, an epic adventure set on the enigmatic continent of Cantha, and innovative ways to play collaboratively online with friends, End of Dragons will expand and enrich the vast, subscription-free online world of one of the most enduring and beloved PC games of all time.
End of Dragons will feature an all-new story set in Cantha, a multi-cultural land of magic and intrigue that was first seen in 2006's Guild Wars Factions. This lush region dotted by islands and exotic architecture has been closed off and isolated from the rest of Tyria but will open its borders for the first time in over 200 years as players get the opportunity to discover its secrets. Thanks to a vast store of magical energy provided by the material known as dragonjade, Canthan technological achievements have transformed its tranquil beaches and temples into a mechanized center of industry. But the dragon cycle that has sustained the power of magic while blighting Tyria for ages is collapsing, and the secrets of the elder dragons will come full circle as players race to prevent a dire threat from destroying everything that Cantha has built.
"End of Dragons represents a multi-year expression of passion, talent, and creativity from the entire team at ArenaNet and NCSOFT," said Amy Liu, Guild Wars 2 executive producer. "It's been 16 years since players last got to explore Cantha, and we're very excited to take that return journey with the community as we tell the next amazing chapter of the Guild Wars 2 story."
End of Dragons will launch with a wide array of new content, including:
Four new, distinct open world maps full of Guild Wars 2's signature public events that showcase the various cultures and settings of Cantha while vastly expanding the world
A new cast of NPC characters that will join players on their quest, featuring voice talent like Erika Ishii, Noshir Dalal, Ry Chase, Rina Hoshino, Kelly Hu, Tina Huang, and Sarah Sokolovic
The debut of the game's first multiplayer mount, the siege turtle. Part mobile artillery platform and part all-terrain vehicle, this walking war machine can host two riders and brings co-op gameplay to Guild Wars 2's renowned and acclaimed selection of game-changing mounted beasts.
New personal watercraft called skiffs that serve as a mobile ferry for friends and guildmates, allowing groups of players to partake in fishing, a new activity that gives new opportunities for cooking, and big rewards for those committed to seeking out the rarest aquatic fauna
Nine new elite specializations, one for each of Guild Wars 2's character professions, providing new ways to play even maximum level characters, presenting new gameplay mechanics to master, and multiplying the possibilities for character builds.
Jade Bots, erstwhile companions that bring utility to Guild Wars 2's philosophy of horizontal progression. These versatile helpers can give your mounts a boost, enable new ways to traverse the game world, and provide a pick-me-up in the heat of battle. Players can customize the parts of their Jade Bots for a wide variety of different effects.
A new selection of Strike Missions, challenging boss encounters that can be tackled with a squad of up to 10 players and give the most daring and skilled heroes an opportunity at valuable loot.
Other new additions in End of Dragons include the upgradeable settlement of Arborstone, a haven among the dark canopy of the Echovald Wilds that players can rebuild through the course of their adventure; a new Guild Hall they can decorate with their friends; and a new suite of third generation Legendary Weapons inspired by the iconic Elder Dragon Aurene, offering the ultimate heroic character reward.
To celebrate the launch, anyone who purchases a large beverage at participating Carl's Jr. and Hardee's U.S. locations March 2-29, will get a special End of Dragons collector's cup.
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons is available for purchase at guildwars2.com/end-of-dragons for $29.99. The Deluxe Edition ($54.99) adds an additional character slot and an Identity Repair Kit. The End of Dragons Ultimate Edition ($79.99) includes the exclusive Standard and Deluxe Edition items, plus 4,000 Gems, Guild Wars 2's premium in-game store currency.

AC Slater teams up with Tchami and Rome Fortune on "Dealer"
The two House masterminds just teamed up for the second time.
Konstantinos Karakolis
When two names like OWSLA's star AC Slater and Confession label-head Tchami work together on a release, the result is bound to be impressive, to say the least. And that's exactly what "Dealer", their collaborative effort with rapper Rome Fortune is; a hybrid mixture between Hip-Hop and House, accompanied by a stunning music video
This is not the first time the two pioneers have worked on music together; AC Slater was featured on "Missing You" featuring Kaleem Taylor off Tchami's 2015 EP After Life. This collaboration, however, is different, as they both artists' sounds have matured, and they seem much more versatile and confident in their productions.
Rome Fortune is another versatile artist, who has worked with people from SEVDALIZA and Pouya to What So Not and George Maple. His autotuned singing voice supports the track's vibe and adds a lighter, more relaxed dimension to it, before it drops into a sequence of groovy 4-on-the-floor drums and heavy basslines.
The track's music video is up to the standards OWSLA has set throughout the years, as the label is known for their trippy and weird, but aesthetically perfect music videos.
Stay connected as AC Slater is said to be gearing up for the release of his debut album Outsiders this September, while Tchami recently announced his Revelations EP is coming soon!

Have you met George the penguin at the Lady Lever Art Gallery? George is currently donning his festive garb and greeting our visitors throughout the Christmas period.
He loves to dress up and over the years has wowed visitors with many different costumes including an Olympic and a para Olympic athlete, St. George, Frankenstein, the Easter Bunny, the Queen (for the Royal Wedding) and his latest costume, which is a Christmas Dickensian character.


The Mawson's Huts Foundation would like to acknowledge the important support given to the Australian Antarctic Festival by the Tasmanian Government through Events Tasmania, by the City of Hobart and by Chimu Adventures, representing the Antarctic tourism sector. Without these foundation partners, the festival could not have taken shape.
We thank the Australian Antarctic Division for contributing resources for the Festival and acknowledge contributions made by the Australian Defence Force, IMAS, CSIRO, P&O Maritime, Clennett's Mitre 10, the Tasmanian Polar Network, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and numerous organisations and individuals.
Funding is provided by special grants from Events Tasmania, the Hobart City Council and Chimu Adventures, the Foundation's major sponsor and one of Australia's leading Antarctic tour companies which is developing closer links with Hobart. In addition, members of the Tasmanian Polar Network have given their backing to the Festival in many ways to ensure its success. Their support is enthusiastic and generous.
