Daniel Vukovich teaches postcolonial, literary, and theoretical studies at Hong Kong University, with an emphasis on the PRC and Sino-Western politics. His book China and Orientalism: Western Knowledge Production and the P.R.C. appeared in late 2011. It makes a case for the global reconstitution of orientalism since the 1970s and is a defense of the theoretical and political complexities of Maoist and post-Mao China. He has also published in Cultural CritiqueCultural LogicpositionsNeo-Helicon, and Frontiers of Literary Studies in China and has forthcoming chapters in China and New Left Visions (2012), The Oxford Guide to Post-colonial Studies, and Culture and Social Transformation. He is a generalist.
Cultural Politics (2012) 8 (2): 207-231.
This essay addresses the "demand for humanism, with a nod toward Asia" within current theory and global intellectual political culture. I argue that using humanism as a way to understand China (a habit inside and especially outside the PRC) keeps us within the orientalist tradition; it is also at odds with China's attempted/failed/ongoing revolution and trajectory since 1949. I offer an interdisciplinary analysis of area studies and other representations of China, especially in regard to Tiananmen and the Cultural Revolution. I then contrast this with current intellectual debates in China as well as with an older Maoist or revolutionary discourse. The resurgence or "demand" for humanism is rendered as part of an intellectual and political backlash or depoliticization.


An official did not wish to be named, said that the results would be declared in the last week of April or the first week of May, however, he refused to confirm the exact date for the same.
NEW DELHI: Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) is expected to announce the Class 12 examination results on April 28, 2018, on its official website.
The results of PSEB Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations will be released on the official website pseb.ac.in.
An official did not wish to be named, said that the results would be declared in the last week of April or the first week of May, however, he refused to confirm the exact date for the same. In order to release the results early, the Board could exclude results for vocational students that would be announced couple of days later than the results for the regular students, the official added.
Around 327,159 students had appeared for Class 12 exam this year. The Class 12 exams started on February 28 and ended on March 24, 2018. More than 406,200 students appeared for the board's Class 10 exams from March 12 to March 31, 2018.
The results of Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations conducted by the Punjab School Education Board likely to be declared in the last week of April or first week of May, an official said on Tuesday.
In 2017, 57.50 percent Class 10 students cleared the exam and pass percentage for Class 12 was 65.33%.
The Punjab School Education Board came into existence through a legislative enactment in November 1969 for the development and promotion of school education in the state of Punjab. In 1987, the Vidhan Sabha amended the Board's Act to grant it autonomy.


John Dalton lands his small craft on a platform amidst towering, eerie-looking alien structures. Ne'Ban and Aida are astounded by the high radiation levels and unusual and extreme sensor readings, and advise John to proceed with caution. John loses radio contact with them soon after landing.
NC962VIII features the only planet with no actual name. The name of the mission refers to the designation given to it by the TCA upon discovering it and identifying it as the homeworld of the Drakk, a race of sentient, insect-like machines that exterminated their biological creators. It is unknown what the Drakk call it.
"Another level we saw was set in a world covered with alien technology. The surfaces were covered with ornate metallic surfaces reminiscent of Aliens. Here, the player encounters a mechanical alien creature, the Drakk, which packs lasers that track the player and can be repaired by drones. Such encounters underline another of the game's technical strengths: dynamic music. The audio developers use DirectMusic to match the intensity of the audio to the action on the screen. Between encounters the music fades, so players don't have to hear a blaring soundtrack in the game's calmer moments."
"The third level we saw was set on the planet of a mechanized race called the Drakk. You don't know much about them... only that you should fear them. The level started off with an extended cinematic of the ship approching the planet, colored in lots of glowing blues and greens. This was the first level we saw that sported alien weaponry, and also featured enemy bots that could actually be repaired by smaller bots if you weren't careful."
"The meat and potatoes of Unreal's opposition lies in its dynamic alien races. Mind you these are not just your typical, run of the mill alien races either. Each one has truly inventive strengths, weaknesses and forms of attacks. For instance one mechanical race utilizes shielded drones to raise their fallen soldiers from the dead. You must take out the drones as well of the soldiers, unless you want to take on a perpetually regenerating alien army."

From the Department of "Imagine If Republicans Did this Kind of Thing"
Wow:
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) is riding a compelling Hillary Rodham Clinton story. It's not so much about her quite-possible presidential run. Nor is it about the Clinton family's foundation. Nor Benghazi. It's about how Clinton is attempting the impossible: Turning a speech into something approaching an off-the-record occasion.
This morning, the former secretary of state was in Atlanta for a speaking engagement before the National Association of Convenience and Fuel Retailing (NACS). As the AJC reported yesterday, members of the media were barred from the session. Today it reported that a "cone of silence" had descended on her remarks. "Convention officials banned all video and sound recording, social media, and naturally, journalists," wrote the AJC's Greg Bluestein and Jim Galloway.
I am pretty sure that Hillary Clinton will indeed run for president again in 2016. I am also pretty sure that lots of people in the media share my assessment. Shouldn't they be calling Clinton out on her lack of transparency?

Tom Edsall on Republican Political Prospects
Tom Edsall's writings make clear that he is on the port side of the partisan divide, but my political differences with him notwithstanding, he is honest and thorough in this piece, which discusses how Republicans can reverse their recent electoral misfortunes. I certainly liked the sentence with which Edsall closed his piece: "The compelling mandate for a national political party in the United States is not to serve as ideological advocate, but to win."
A nice thing for Republicans to remember. Alas, the party is currently in its George McGovern stage, during which time it has sacrificed winning for ideological advocacy. It may well have to pass through its Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis stages before a Republican Leadership Council--or some such vehicle--teaches it how to win again.

This Week in Epistemic Closure
I have argued in the past that those who charge the Republican party with epistemic closure forget (conveniently or not) that there is plenty of epistemic closure in their ranks as well. But this does not mean that epistemic closure amongst Republicans should not be criticized.
So, let me go on record as stating that cherry-picking a convenient media forum for debates between Republican presidential candidates is a bad idea. I recognize that Republicans would like to have friendly moderators ask friendly questions of their candidates, but eventually, those candidates are going to have to confront potentially unfriendly moderators. Best that they learn how to joust successfully with unfriendly moderators early in the campaign; honing that particular skill from the outset could be useful to the candidates and to Republicans in general as the campaign goes on.
And let me also go on record as stating that purging Republicans who happen to disagree with certain planks in the Republican party platform is a really terrible idea. (Link via Charles Lipson.) Winners can afford to purge their ranks. Losers cannot, and given that the Republican party has picked up the unfortunate habit of losing elections, it currently qualifies as a loser party. To win, it has to expand its tent, not shrink it. And incidentally, whether or not one is a same-sex marriage supporter (and I am), who in their right mind thinks that opposing same-sex marriage is a political winner these days?

A War in Syria?
There have been a number of developments regarding the civil war in Syria. For one thing, the Obama administration has come to the conclusion that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against Syrian rebels, and now believes that it must arm the rebels against the regime. It ought to go without saying that the use of chemical weapons is A Bad Thing, but everyone ought to understand that the arming of Syrian rebels may not represent the end of American involvement in Syria. Rather, it may only represent the beginnings of that involvement, and we may not like what comes next. For the moment, as the New York Times story indicates, the Obama administration has ruled out the implementation of a no-fly zone in Syria, which itself would constitute a military action; a no-fly zone is maintained through denying the enemy the ability to fly aircraft in the zone, of course, but it is also maintained by taking out enemy anti-aircraft batteries and missiles, and enemy radar that might undermine the maintenance of a no-fly zone by aircraft flown to enforce the no-fly rule.
The problem with arming the rebels, however, is that we may be arming elements we don't particularly like. I referenced this danger in the past. Forgive the fact that I am quoting myself immediately below, but I think it might be called for in this case:
There are calls for the administration to send arms to the Syrian opposition, but aiding the Free Syrian Army comes with a significant set of risks. There are allegations that armed opposition groups in Syria have engaged in significant human rights abuses, and offering aid to those groups might inadvertently benefit Islamists who are hostile to the United States and to American interests. Indeed, at least one UN official believes that anti-regime forces have used chemical weapons. The United States should not be eager to jump into bed with the Syrian opposition by giving arms and aid to religious fanatics and egregious violators of the laws of warfare.
I am sorry to report that my concerns on this score may have been justified:
When a 14-year-old boy from the Syrian city of Aleppo named Mohammad Qatta was asked to bring one of his customers some coffee, he reportedly refused, saying, "Even if [Prophet] Mohammed comes back to life, I won't."
According to a story reported by two grassroots Syrian opposition groups, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Aleppo Media Center, Qatta's words got him killed. A group of Islamist rebels, driving by in a black car, reportedly heard the exchange. They stopped the car, grabbed the boy and took him away.
Qatta, in refusing to serve a customer coffee – it's not clear why – had used a phrase that the Islamist rebels took as an insult toward the Prophet Mohammed, the most important figure in Islam. That offhand comment, made by a boy, was apparently enough for these rebels to warrant a grisly execution and public warning.
The rebels, according to ABC News' reconstruction of the Syrian groups' reports, appear to have whipped Qatta. When they brought him back to where they'd taken him, his head was wrapped by a shirt.
The rebels waited for a crowd to gather; Qatta's parents were among them. Speaking in classical Arabic, they announced that Qatta had committed blasphemy and that anyone else who dared insult the Prophet Mohammed would share his fate. Then, the shirt still wrapped around the boy's head, the rebels shot him in the mouth and neck.
A Syrian rebel group's pledge of allegiance to al-Qaeda's replacement for Osama bin Laden suggests that the terrorist group's influence is not waning and that it may take a greater role in the Western-backed fight to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The pledge of allegiance by Syrian Jabhat al Nusra Front chief Abou Mohamad al-Joulani to al-Qaeda leader Sheik Ayman al-Zawahri was coupled with an announcement by the al-Qaeda affiliate in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq, that it would work with al Nusra as well.
Lebanese Sheik Omar Bakri, a Salafist who says states must be governed by Muslim religious law, says al-Qaeda has assisted al Nusra for some time.
"They provided them early on with technical, military and financial support , especially when it came to setting up networks of foreign jihadis who were brought into Syria," Bakri says. "There will certainly be greater coordination between the two groups."
The United States, which supports the overthrow of Assad, designated al Nusra a terrorist entity in December. The Obama administration has said it wants to support only those insurgent groups that are not terrorist organizations.
As though it will be easy to ensure that money goes only to those rebel segments that the Obama administration happens to like. More:
When the group Jabhat al Nusra first claimed responsibility for car and suicide bombings in Damascus that killed dozens last January, many of Syria's revolutionaries claimed that the organization was a creation of the Syrian government, designed to discredit those who opposed the regime of President Bashar Assad and to hide the regime's own brutal tactics.
Nearly a year later, however, Jabhat al Nusra, which U.S. officials believe has links to al Qaida, has become essential to the frontline operations of the rebels fighting to topple Assad.
Not only does the group still conduct suicide bombings that have killed hundreds, but they've proved to be critical to the rebels' military advance. In battle after battle across the country, Nusra and similar groups do the heaviest frontline fighting. Groups who call themselves the Free Syrian Army and report to military councils led by defected Syrian army officers move into the captured territory afterward.
The prominence of Nusra in the rebel cause worries U.S. and other Western officials, who say its operations rely on the same people and tactics that fueled al Qaida in Iraq – an assertion that is borne out by interviews with Nusra members in Syria.
Why are we giving arms to rebel elements when there is no guarantee whatsoever that those arms won't end up in the hands of terrorists who have professed hostility towards the United States and towards American interests, and who have actually carried out terrorist operations against the United States?
Policymaking is not made any easier by the fact that former president Bill Clinton is double-dog daring the Obama administration to be tough in Syria, lest President Obama look like "a fool" or "a wuss." I don't even pretend to understand the logic here. Surely, Bill Clinton knows that many of the Syrian rebel groups are non-fans of the United States and don't profess our moral values. Surely, he understands that our willingness to dip our toes into the waters of war in Syria might lead us to wade in those waters further in the future. Surely he realizes that there are no American national security interests at stake here--indeed, from an exceedingly cold realpolitik standpoint, if the United States really wanted to see its interests served, it would do everything within its power to ensure that the civil war in Syria goes on for as long as possible (the better to bleed Iran dry as it seeks to prop up the Assad regime and throws good money after bad in the process). And surely the former president realizes that while the human carnage in Syria is nothing short of horrific, there may be very little that the United States can do about that short of engaging in a full-scale war which would involve boots on the ground--a proposition for which there is no support whatsoever in the United States. Maybe the plan is that Hillary Clinton will eventually embrace all this tough, anti-fool/anti-wuss rhetoric in any run for the presidency, thus making her appear to be strong and resolute in the view of American voters. That may make for great politics, but it would make for a terrible foreign/military policy.

For a correct evaluation the test should always be used in fullscreen mode.
With the geometric test pattern you can check the resolution and sharpness of the screen. The pattern will be displayed white on black and black one white.
With the black surface you can check for "backlight bleeding" and "IPS glow".
"Backlight bleeding" means that the backlight will radiate unevenly at the edges. Depending on how serious this effect occurs, this can also be considered as a defect.
"IPS glow" is an effect that often occurs on screens with IPS panels for technical reasons. There is a slight brightening, depending on the angle. If A-TW polarizing films are used, this lightening may look greenish to one side and reddish to the other.
With the gray and the white surface you can check the uniform illumination and color purity.
The color surfaces consist of pure primary colors and can be used to locate any pixel errors. The two other surfaces contain a halftone raster, in which all pixels are alternately white and black. If individual subpixels are faulty, they appear as dark or bright spots on one of the surfaces.
Important: if you see a pixel error you should also check if it is not just dust!
The purple surface can be used to check whether the display changes depending on the viewing angle. On screens with TN panel, the surface is often not uniform even when viewed at a straight angle, but appears in an altering hue from top to bottom.
The second surface contains a gray background and a special "+" symbol made of pink and light green stripes. On screens with TN panel, you usually do not see a uniform pattern here, but the "+" symbols disappears to the upper or lower direction in the gray area, which in turn is also not displayed uniformly.
With the gray and colored gradients in different directions you can check the color depth. Devices that only display 6 bits per color channel do not show a uniform gradient but rather clearly visible steps. Sometimes it helps to set the contrast to 50%.

Basquiat first achieved fame as part of SAMO©, an informal graffiti duo who wrote enigmatic epigrams in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 1970s where the hip hop, post-punk, and street art movements had coalesced. By the 1980s, he was exhibiting his neo-expressionist paintings in galleries and museums internationally. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his art in 1992.
Basquiat's art focused on "suggestive dichotomies", such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. He appropriated poetry, drawing, and painting, and married text and image, abstraction, figuration, and historical information mixed with contemporary critique.
Basquiat used social commentary in his paintings as a "springboard to deeper truths about the individual", as well as attacks on power structures and systems of racism, while his poetics were acutely political and direct in their criticism of colonialism and support for class struggle (Wikipedia).

Ray tracing is getting a lot of hype lately. Lots of advanced rendering techniques are emerging that involve scene tracing of some kind, there are several frameworks for high-performance ray tracing, D3D12 is getting integrated support for ray tracing, and there's a proposed Vulkan extension for the same.
Have you ever encountered an exception in your application while debugging, and wanted to know exactly what the state of the app was at that point in time?

A few months back, I wrote a blog post that you guys seemed to love: List of the Best Free Visual Studio Extensions. Extending your IDE is the new black and we do too use a lot of extensions during our daily work. Previously, we used a lot of different development tools (alongside Visual Studio), but that changed when Microsoft launched Visual Studio Code. It hasn't replaced Visual Studio for us, but it's great for some aspects of our development process. We use Code for quick preview of files, writing markdown, other languages than C#, quick prototyping, and much more. This post is a summary of all of the different extensions we've found to make Code even better.

Sharing germs? Twitter can predict disease outbreaks, give early warning
Published time: 11 Nov, 2015 16:36 Edited time: 11 Nov, 2015 17:14
© Maksim Blinov © RIA Novosti
Monitoring the Twitter accounts of people who feel ill has been used to create an early-warning system for outbreaks of illnesses such as norovirus, the chief scientist of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has revealed.
Professor Guy Poppy told an audience at the Wellcome Trust on Wednesday the new monitoring system could be used to help hospitals prepare for outbreaks.
The project tracked hashtags related to illness, and used software to discover spikes in similar uses of language.
Poppy said the software had predicted "several" outbreaks of norovirus up to two weeks before Public Health England.
Rise of 'chemsex' could spark massive HIV outbreak, experts warn
"Twitter could be a good way of picking up early indications of issues surrounding food," he said.
"We can use it to provide a causal link between people tweeting and the outbreaks happening.
"The next stage is to start predicting outbreaks and then working with organizations such as the NHS [National Health Service] towards what we can do about that.
"This can help prepare hospitals and we are working with PhD students to explore what else we might be able to use the information for in terms of food and business."
The professor said the "big data" generated by tweets and social media posts could also be useful when examining people's cooking and eating habits.
The FSA is responsible for maintaining food safety and hygiene in the UK.
"It is important to know what food appliances people are using," he said. "Cookers that cook at different temperatures will affect food safety.
"This project has been a fascinating learning curve into who the consumer is."
The project could also save the government money. A report released by the Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology in 2014 estimated that infectious diseases cost the NHS, labor market and the individual £30 billion each year.
The report called infectious diseases "a major health and economic burden."
Currently, the report notes, surveillance is one of the main ways infectious diseases are monitored.
"It involves monitoring symptoms reported to doctors and NHS Direct, reports of microbes isolated by laboratories, and information on the spread of antimicrobial resistance," it states.
It adds that "traditional methods" used in surveillance "can be time consuming and [don't] always provide information on transmission chains."

He and his wife Katie have been summering on the Jersey Shore for five years and moved here permanently with their son last year. Robert has been a self-directed learner with a love of math his whole life. He knew all of his multiplication tables at age 4 and no one knew how he learned them! He was bored when he had to sit and be 'taught' at school. He is thrilled that his son is going to get the opportunity to flourish in this environment.
Ashley Helgesen Quirk
was first introduced to the Sudbury philosophy when she met Michael in Portland, ME. She was instantly intrigued, as she has always been a strong believer in freedom in education. Ashley and Michael are now married and have two baby boys together. Ashley says her life was forever changed when her parents moved the family to Nagoya, Japan for a year when she was 13. Her experiences in Japan opened her mind and her heart to the rest of the world. She studied abroad in Italy, taught English in Thailand, and traveled everywhere in between. She has a bachelor's degree in English from Oakland University, as well a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certificate. Just before coming to JSFS, she worked in International Education where her experiences ranged from helping international high school students achieve their dreams of studying in the US to the nitty-gritty of exchange visitor visa regulations.
Michael Quirk
resigned from a 12 year career in the banking industry to become the first full time male staff at the Jersey Shore Free School. Educated at Milton Academy, Noble and Greenough School and Emory University, Michael has been described by teen students as "the smartest person we've ever known." His athletic prowess and coaching skills are equally admired and appreciated. Michael's personal experiences from Alaska to Fiji to France and from the Grand Tetons to Acadia underscore his adventurous spirit and his love of the great outdoors. Michael has always been a supporter of Sudbury education, but his interest intensified after his daughter Gracie was born. Watching her learn and explore during her early years, he realized that freedom might even be more important to children than adults. Michael is a supporter of children's rights and he's never been happier at work than in his position at the Jersey Shore Free School.
Debbie Peterson
graduated from Muhlenberg College with a bachelor's degree in psychology and completed her master's degree program in writing and publication design from the University of Baltimore in 1995. She has taught literature and writing classes at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, Brookdale Community College and Monmouth University. With her husband, Doug and two children, Ty and Jamie, Debbie resides in Oceanport. Certified in health and nutrition counseling from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and Columbia University, Debbie is co-owner of Nourish Coaches , a business dedicated to helping the world become a healthier place and spreading awareness of a healthy lifestyle. In 2013, she published the cookbook, Nourish, a whole foods community supported project with her co-author and business partner, Wendy Bright-Fallon. Debbie's personal mission, to inspire positive change in the world, has also been a driving motivation in her helping to start the Jersey Shore Free School.
Dr. Douglas Peterson
originally from Nutley, NJ, is as a general family dentist at Little Silver Dental Care in Little Silver, NJ. Prior to receiving his doctorate degree from the University of Maryland at Baltimore, he obtained his undergraduate bachelors degree in Mathematics and Natural Science from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. Dr. Peterson was the Director of Dental Services for the East Bay Community Action Program in Newport, RI, a branch of the US Public Health Service. Dr. Peterson became inspired to help start the Jersey Shore Free School after attending one of Dr. Quirk's talks about the more positive academic and psychological development of children in the Sudbury education model. He wants the absolute best for his children and believes their self esteem will soar as they follow their inner passions in learning and life.

Don't skimp on the agua: The name "air plant" is misconceiving as tillandsias don't thrive just by being exposed to air. They need to be watered regularly — two or three times a week — and by watered I mean soaked; periodic light misting usually won't cut it especially if you live in a dry area. Make sure there's no standing water.
Seeing the light: Air plants also need ample light to survive. They thrive best in bright but filtered light. Direct sunlight during the summer months isn't recommended. Artificial lights (grow lights or fluorescents) work well, too.
Not too hot (or cold): Air plants are hardy and not entirely picky about what kind of temperatures they're kept in although 50° to 90° F is considered optimum. Avoid frost and be sure the area around your air plant has decent air circulation.
For more details on caring for an air plant check out this great FAQ page, eHow, and Air Plant City. Interested in ordering one? Head on over to Air Plant Supply Co. or Etsy (home to the awe-inspiring Live Lamp) where you'll find a decent selection or air plants.
Do you keep air plants in your home? Any tillandsia tips and tidbits you'd like to share?


Entrepreneurship is a process of forming a new venture out of opportunities that are neglected in the current and old-fashioned economy and imagined by entrepreneurs. This course covers (1) the macro-level policy issues such as the role of entrepreneurial activities in the growth of national economy and (2) individual and organizational level antecedents of entrepreneurial activities together with detailed case study as well as in-depth understanding of relevant managerial theories. Accordingly, this course is not about running a mom and pop store but about forming and managing a high growing venture for novel opportunities.
Lecture notes will serve as a basic template for introducing key concepts. Yet, this course is not for those who expect a simple summary of a textbook. For this, you should consult a publisher, who has various and well-made summaries of a textbook. Rather, each session will be dedicated to the collective discovery of "design problems", which cannot be described and conveyed in a single textbook. Nonetheless, you may consult the following materials for the course.
- Blank, S. & Dorf, B. 2012. The Startup Owner's Manual. CA: K&S Ranch.
- Ries, E. 2011. The Lean Startup. NY: Crown Business.
- 노암 와서먼. 2013. 창업자의 딜레마(The Founder's Dilemmas). 에코리브르(출간).
B.Session 2) Four Different Views on Entrepreneurship: What is Entrepreneurship?
Topics: Classical (i.e., contractual), Austrian (i.e., Schumpeterian), Institutional and Relational (i.e., Doriot Way); Social Enterprise, Invention, and Innovation; Franchisor versus Franchisee.

Commentary & Interviews
Adventure Explorer: Mike O'Shea Biography
February 24, 2019 December 27, 2021 ArrivalsHall
Post updated December 2021
Many people comment on my unusual choice of destinations for my solo travels. My own adventures pale into insignificance when I compare my travels to that of fellow parishioner, Mike O'Shea, a well-known Irish adventure explorer.
Mike O'Shea on his North Pole trip
Mike's travels have taken him to the most inhospitable parts of the world and he enjoys recounting his endeavours to audiences. Having seen him talk at the TBEX Blogging conference, I caught up with Mike as he gave a talk in our local community hall here in Kerry. In recognition for his contribution to exploration, Mike is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
THE ICE PROJECT
He started by discussing his involvement in The Ice Project, a series of adventures crossing the main ice regions of the world. Fellow Irish explorer, Dr. Clare O'Leary, has accompanied him on these travels. Clare is the first Irish woman to summit Mount Everest and has climbed the highest peaks on all continents.
Mike outlined the main challenges that the North Pole can present an adventure explorer which are the weather conditions and the ever-shifting terrain. The North Pole is located in the centre of the Arctic Ocean and is composed of moving ice as opposed to the South Pole which is located on a landmass.
Progress made on the North Pole was often undone by the moving ice. Sometimes the ice packs split which meant progress could only be made by swimming between the broken packs. Mike explained that swimming in the icy Arctic was bliss in comparison to the -55°C temperature on the surface.
Mike swimming in North Pole's Arctic Ocean
Mike's crossing of the Greenland Icecap involved working with a dog and sleigh system. Again, the weather wasn't his friend with the team going non-stop for 48 hours to outrun a severe storm. The local method of tethering the dogs for the sleigh meant regular stops to unravel the ropes.
Mike and Clare successfully crossed the frozen Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, in a north to south direction. Lake Baikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is both the largest freshwater lake in the world by volume and the deepest lake in the world.
As we don't get ice in Ireland, Mike's lack of skating experience for the trip was compensated by specially-designed sleighs with balance handles. Staying upright during the severe wind and snow storms was a huge test. Temperatures hovered around -30°C.
Lake Baikal is a rift zone and subject to tremors and earthquakes. For Mike and Clare this meant skating and sleeping to the sounds of cracking ice. The upside of the trip was the local hospitality and accompanying vodka.
Mike's expedition over the North Patagonian Icecap was his dream trip, describing it as "one of the most beautiful places in the world…untamed land", praising the beauty of the San Rafael Glacier as a highlight. The trip involved a mix of activities and transport options including boats and horses.

Once again, the terrain and the weather were the challenges. The undulating surface of the icepack meant the constant climbing and descending of large crevices. The weather came in the form of severe wind which is the undoing of many explorers undertaking this trip.
DINGLE TO CAPETOWN
Away from the Ice Project, Mike's latest trip involved a different kind of danger, that of human nature. Driving a Land Rover, Mike travelled from his home in Dingle to Capetown in South Africa via West Africa and was accompanied by fellow Kerryman, David Gleeson.
The plan was to travel via East Africa but an inability to cross Libya meant a change of route. Mike described it as his most dangerous trip to date, regularly encountering unsavoury characters and waking three times to a machine gun pointed at his head. Police checks were frequent but he refused to pay bribes, instead pleading the poor mouth.
WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN ADVENTURE EXPLORER
There is very little that can prepare a traveller for this type of challenge but for the physically demanding expeditions, Mike says preparation is key. He focuses on training his body to pull heavy weights and incorporates this into his daily work life, carrying 40kg weights in his rucksack between business meetings. He also pulls tyres around the local Kerry terrain.
The physical demand of expeditions means burning 6,000 to 8,000 calories daily. Boiled water from melted ice is poured into dehydrated food packs. Protein bars are pre-chopped into bit-sizes and left to defrost in the mouth.
Travelling in Mongolia
Some of the countries he travels through, particularly on the West Africa trip, are on the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs no-go list. As regular travel insurance will not cover such trips, Mike gets special insurance to cover all eventualities.
OTHER WORK AND TRAVEL
For his current adventure, Mike is involved with the Poles Project which comprises of accessing the points on the world's largest landmasses which are furthest from the coastline. Some points are proving more difficult than others, again for the human factor.
Risk and its assessment is Mike's day job as his Work at Height business is a heights, rescue and difficult access consultancy. He has worked with construction companies, government organisations and film crews. Work at Height provided safety and logistical services to Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, both of which were filmed in Ireland. Mike also oversaw the re-erection of the steel cross on Carrauntoohil in 2014 after it was cut down.
Closer to home…Mike staring out to sea on Skellig Michael in Kerry
Despite his busy schedule Mike does charity work, building an orphanage in Africa and a school in Nepal. He is also involved in the Himalayan Stove Project.
So what inspired Mike to become an adventure explorer? He grew up near the McGillycuddy Reeks so was introduced to a beautiful and exploratory environment from a young age. He volunteered with Kerry Mountain Rescue and learned an immense amount including the ability to use pulley systems involved in all aspects of climbing.
Mike's appetite for exploration is immense, and his accounts of his trips are as amusing as they are inspiring. Our local community wish Mike the best of luck in his endeavours and look forward to the next chapter in Mike's story.

Nice looking on the outside, although the hips are too wide . The last time I was looking at a car I wanted something with a hatch. I looked at the Crosstour, wanted to like it, realized I was repulsed, and walked away.
Slightly wider than "perfect" hips can sometimes be a wonderful thing as long as the curves are in the right places.
GM: WE MAKE SPORTBAK U BUY NOW?
World: ...eh, maybe later...but, um...good...job?
GM: U buy sportbak now?
Really love the rig, and how all-in they are with it. Buick is still not firing on all cylinders with their interior design - still looks at least a generation behind - but it's a totally cool, very attractive, very liveable choice. Glad it DOESN'T look like an old Buick, but is still recognizable. I hope the entire Regal line sells well.
the interior is essentialy the same as the Opel Insignia- it's not really a "Buick" interior. In fact, it's substantially different from the Lacrosse interior and that car has no European counterpart.
So this source says that a bone stock 2017 Malibu fitted with same engine produced 251 peak HP - AT THE WHEELS!
If so, significantly more power is being produced at the crank, which is the manner in which all engines are rated per the SAE specs.
That's some 30 more HP than what my new 2018 GTI Autobahn produces. Good thing I have a Neuspeed Power Module on order. Looks like I'm going to need it just keep pace with bone stock Malibus and Regals!
That is not SAE corrected which usually reads in STD correction.
Our 2018 TourX 2.0T is datalogging 26 lb/min and seeing 298 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpms on 87 octane.
What is your increase with Nuespeed?
With all the gnarly designs out there (Camry, Accord, Civic), I find myself being attracted to the conservative and crisp designs of the Regal and LaCrosse. I'm terrified that just means I'm getting old.
With all the gnarly designs out there (Camry, Accord, Civic), I find myself being attractive to the conservative and crisp designs of the Regal and LaCrosse. I'm terrified that just means I'm getting old.
I'm right there with ya, and don't consider myself too old as a late genX'er. I don't mind a bold design that's well executed, (I actually like the Accord, just wish it was an actual fastback) but the Civic is just way too over the top, especially the hatch in Type R form.
it probably means you are mature and appreciate understated good looks.
We are maturing, like fine wine.
This is a great design. Buick's main challenge is getting people to actually check them out. Once they do, they'll realize what a value it is.
I say this as someone who sells vehicles that are NOT Buicks.
This thing is peppy for a 3400lbs, 250HP FWD car. More telling is the 5-60 mph only 0.5 secs off. Consider my self impressed. Now I wonder how the GS will do?
It'd be a miracle for the GS to be much faster. I think the turbo 4's 250HP is pretty conservative rating. Consider the Camaro V6 tested by Car and Driver - 0 to 60 in 5.5s, 1/4 14.2@99. If the GS apes the Camaro, it's not much faster than the regular Sportback.
And the GS has less hp than the Camaro (310 vs 335).
It is getting harder and harder to define that area since the regular brands keep upping their game. 10 years ago there was a huge difference between an Accord interior and an Audi one. Now, not quite as vast a difference.
As the top trim level regular cars close in on the luxury car feel Buick's world shrinks.
Daring to be different? Its still a 4-door. Checking now to see if its available with a manual transmission. Umm...not seeing it. Oh...but a Driver Confidence Package is available! And its has an 8 inch infotainment touchscreen! How wow is that? Kewl!
I would consider a Buick Regal if it were a 2-door, had a little power coupled to a 6-speed manual. I would LOVE to buy American. Just can't find what I want.
A year or so ago my wife's Lexus was in the shop for the airbag. Lexus paid for a rental car. We got hold of a couple of Chevy Malibus. The previous gen models. It was the worst driver experience I might have ever had. 2-liter engine, though very smooth, had to rev astoundingly high to gain power. Then there was the stop/start. Don't get me started on that one.
Sounds like you want an Ecoboost Mustang.
This is a lot of car for the money. For 36k you would get a stripped down BMW 3 series with the base 180 hp.
Addtionally, the Sportback tested tires, the 245/45R-18 Continental ProContact TX all-season, pull 0.87 in the skidpad compared to the Accord 2.0 Turbo's larger 235/40R-19 Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires at 0.88.
You can get into a Regal 2.0T for u der $20K on autotrader.
I have yet to drive an Accord 2T but on looks alone the Regal Sportback is a better looking car. The Tour X? I like it, a lot and they are pretty big. But a guy driving a wagon who does not wear earth shoes and has granola every day? Buick? The name just conjures up grandparents cars and even though I am a grandfather I am not ready to completely play the part Well maybe in black with the boost turned up and if it had a GNX badge.
Most of us TourX owners are barely graying and still in good enough shape for outdoorsy activities.

Q: UIPickerView pickerView:titleForRow:rowforComponent method not called I have a UIPickerView in my storyboard.
The UIViewController containing it has interface declarations set
@interface ContactDetail : UIViewController <ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource, UIPickerViewDelegate,UIAlertViewDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate>

on view Load, pickerview delegation set
pickerView_RelationshipType.dataSource=self;
pickerView_RelationshipType.delegate = self;
pickerView_RelationshipType.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;

all UIPickerView datasource and delegate methods are triggered except those 2
pickerView:titleForRow:rowforComponent
and
pickerView:viewForRow:forComponent:reusingView

those following are called, no problem
    - (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component
    - (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
    - (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow: (NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
    - (CGFloat)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView widthForComponent:(NSInteger)component

A: what's in numberOfComponentsInPickerView ?
If your numberOfRows returning 0, then your delegate method will never be called - the picker won't ask for the title of a row if it doesn't think it has any rows to display.

A: Make sure your data source array is allocated and initialized.  I ran into this problem when everything was hooked up correctly (I set the data source and delegates and was conforming to the protocols), but I forgot to initialize my data source arrays before adding objects to them.  My code was hitting numberOfComponentsInPickerView and numberOfRowsInComponent but not titleForRow and I couldn't figure out why.  Make sure your data source is not returning nil.
Kind of a stupid edge case, but I figured I'd add my answer in case someone else runs into the same issue.

Making Mobile Apps as a Web Developer
By Philip Belcher
Get more articles like this:
It's all about the technology
There are a couple of cross-platform, mobile app development frameworks out there to solve these problems and the biggest two by far are React Native by Facebook and Ionic by Ionic. The beauty of cross-platform frameworks is that you build the app once and it runs on both platforms.
Both are created with web technologies; heavily relying on the main programming language we use to add advanced features to web pages: Javascript.
React Native is built with React and Ionic built with Angular. React and Angular are massively popular Javascript frameworks for building reactive, responsive, powerful web applications and so it is very likely you've used them when building websites/web apps in the past. Therefore, as a web developer, the first method of deciding which of the two mobile frameworks to learn is easy; have you used either of the underlying technologies, React or Angular, in any of your previous projects? If so, it would be relatively easy to pick up the mobile equivalent.
At JUMP, we had to decide which framework to go with to build a new, modern, cross-platform mobile application, due for release soon.
We went with React Native for development for the following reasons:
React Native code compiles down to native code, meaning speedy performance almost as good as if you'd built it with native tools. Ionic uses WebView (effectively the mobile devices browser) and is noticeably slower.
Javascript Purity
It's very easy to write pure ES6 Javascript and mix it in with React Native JSX components, importing and exporting code wherever you need it - indeed, one of the primary modules in our app is written in pure Javascript and can even be run independently of the mobile app.
We were using React already
To accompany our mobile app, we also built a web backend so our client could manage the data generation for the app to consume. We chose React to build the frontend so choosing React Native for the app meant we could not only share some elements of the codebase but also share the same programming principles and patterns.
Some drawbacks
Using React Native wasn't all smooth sailing however; here are some of the main problems we came across:
Steep Learning Curve
The documentation for React Native is not as strong as it could be which can make it more difficult to learn some of the more advanced concepts.
Limited Styled Components
There are actually very few styled components in React Native (especially compared to Ionic) meaning you have to make pixel perfect recreations of the user interface for both Android and iOS - this can eat into development time.
As web developers, we're used to testing our websites on mobile/tablet/desktop screen sizes and various web browsers, but it's another thing altogether when you have a plethora of phones to test your app against (we're looking at you Android!). This is especially difficult when you're testing multiple hardware features across multiple hardware devices, some running different operating system versions.
These frameworks don't do everything - so if you're developing an advanced app, don't think you can get away without learning some native programming (Objective C/Swift for iOS - and Java/Kotlin for Android). There were several instances during development where we've had to build some of our own native modules; which involves writing an Android module, an iOS module and then a Javascript bridge to tie the native to the Javascript!
So, it is possible to use web based languages to build mobile apps, but be certain to weigh up the pros and cons at the beginning of the project. As with all the projects we design and develop at Jump, time invested in the scoping and planning stages pay dividends.
Keep an eye out on our website and social media for the launch of the new cross-platform app.

Nothing can be compared to the joys of parenthood– it is indeed a blissful feeling. But after a few months you need to think about your little one's progress in the big world. When your child starts taking baby steps to explore the environment why not make it a foundation by admitting your child in a good Montessori nursery Petersfield. By inculcating the principle of Maria Montessori, these schools will train your toddlers to become confident little individuals. Maria Montessori's famous quote "to assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely" can truly be applied to a good nursery school Petersfield that caters to the needs of children aged between 4 months to 5 years.
A nursery school Petersfield will help your child to interact with other toddlers of his/her age and with the staff. Doing so will enhance the social and communicative skills of the child. These schools provide the child with an at-home feeling so that the child can feel secure and upbeat about the surroundings. The kids are provided with a secure outdoor environment wherein they can play and explore the environment in between indoor sessions. With such additions like a green garden and outdoor gaming kits, your baby can find a suitable environment much to his or her pleasure. A reputed Montessori nursery Petersfield boasts of having trained teachers.
Handling little kids can be a challenge at times. But, at a professional Montessori nursery Petersfield you are going to get the services of qualified, caring, innovative and extremely patient teachers. These teachers are all trained under the Montessori method and their aim is to establish a safe environment for the children. In turn, your child will develop a high self-esteem and emerge as a confident individual by socially getting involved with adults and other children within the school premises. This trait is much required when dealing with the world at large. A nursery school Petersfield encourages your child to take part in various social and sports activities.
Parents are actively involved when it comes to monitoring the child's progress. A nursery school Petersfield encourages inputs from parents regarding a child's activities. The school will keep you informed about your child's progress through active contact methods. Get in touch with such schools and visit their website to know more about them. A Montessori nursery Petersfield encourages a child to develop his or her own decision making abilities and encourage children to learn through play sessions.
A Montessori nursery Petersfield inspires your child to become a strong individual by honing his emotional, intellectual and physical skills. By promoting a playful environment these schools inculcate moral and social values in your child. A nursery school Petersfield teacher will help the children to express their spontaneity and then will take a step back to allow them to exercise their freedom by accessing activities on their own. All these efforts from the staff go a long way in developing the cognitive skills of a child. Choose with care a nursery that scores high on such resources. You are then assured that your child would be in good hands.
Help your kids explore the world outside through secured and structured learning processed practised by good Montessori nursery Petersfield ( http://jigsaw-nursery.co.uk ). To know more about a reputed nursery school Petersfield ( http://jigsaw-nursery.co.uk ) visit its website and get going.

In this municipality of Costa Vicentina, mysticism, nature and history blend with each other. For millennia, Sagres and Cape St. Vincent, under a dramatic natural backdrop of cliffs and raging sea, were places dedicated to local gods. The menhirs of prehistoric rites are yet another testament to the devotion of the peoples who occupied the territory.
In Costa Vicentina, the Corvo Church and its Convent, dedicated to St. Vincent, were an important centre of Mozarabic pilgrimage in the Umayyad period, from where we get abundant reports providing an account of the great mystic and spiritual value of the site. Geographer al-Idrīsī believed that it was prior to the arrival of the Muslims to the Peninsula.
It was during the 15th century that Vila do Bispo gained greater importance due to the stays of Infante D. Henrique in Sagres.


Belgium is one of those countries with a lot to discover. Take their mountains for example.
Coming from a country with real mountains, I find the Belgian passion for Ardennes rather cute and I don't really have the heart to tell them that well... that they're just hills.
But the Ardennes are definitely worth visiting. They are in Wallonia, the French part of the country. You can get there quite easily with public transport but make sure you check beforehand the timetables of the local buses, especially if you're headed to a small village.
Like Gedinne - apart from two buses every weekday there is no other way to get there than by foot/car/hitchhiking.
The good thing about the Ardennes s is that you're surrounded by green hills and forests. If you head more towards the countryside, you're very likely to see more cows and sheep than people. What I like about them is that they are peaceful and relaxing, even in bad weather.
On a nice day, you can enjoy doing sports, from cycling or walking to canoeing. On the last note, there's only one river in Belgium where you can do canoeing and from what I've seen it's like a highway on weekends -busy and gets jammed often.
The little town village of Gedinne is surrounded by many little ponds and lakes, so on a sunny day, this is how your morning looks like.
Croix Scaille, the 9th highest mountain in Belgium (505 m) is less than 9 km away and quite a nice walk. There aren't many signs on the way, but if you stick to the main road, you should have no trouble getting there. On the top you can climb 50 m tower to enjoy the nice view of the valley (France and Belgium) and some tasty local beers.
As any small village, Gedinne too has its cute little quirks that make it worth visiting, from restaurants that serve food only during meal times to local bars and festivals that involve competition of plowing tractors. And of course adoring houses and gardens.
It's quite likely you will see everything Gedinne has to offer in one day. But to be honest, delicious food and nice people, makes it totally worth to stay an extra day..
