Together, they moved to New York City, where Tinsley attended Columbia University and graduated with a degree in art history. As soon as Tinsley landed in New York, her blonde hair, Southern belle charm, and personal branding abilities propelled her into high society. After working at Vogue, she transitioned to a career in public relations. Always an entrepreneur at heart, Tinsley built a successful personal brand that was launched with a line of handbags, Samantha Thavasa by Tinsley Mortimer; a clothing collection, Riccimie by Tinsley Mortimer, which was sold exclusively in Japan; and a tabletop collection.

The Blaenavon Story
Looking after Blaenavon
Step into the heart of iron and coal: virtual reality transports visitors back in time at Blaenavon World Heritage Site
Those interested in industrial history and Welsh heritage will be able to discover the sights and sounds of Victorian Blaenavon this spring, with the unveiling of an advanced digital project at the world-renowned Blaenavon World Heritage Site.
In partnership with Big Pit National Coal Museum, Torfaen County Borough Council launched a brand-new 360⁰ virtual reality experience yesterday (25 March 2019), which allows users to experience life as it was in the Blaenavon World Heritage Site during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Featuring real characters from Blaenavon's industrial past, the 'Time Travel in the Blaenavon World Heritage Site' experience uses audio storytelling and three-dimensional technology to display the town's rich industrial history through three virtual reality films ― showcasing life at Big Pit, the town primary school and the home of a local family in Blaenavon Heritage Town.
Using smart devices, the immersive content can be viewed at three iconic locations across the internationally celebrated region, including Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and Blaenavon Heritage Town ― which all feature in the immersive films.
Available to view via the Blaenavon Digital Passport, the VR features portray the trials and tribulations encountered by Blaenavon's industrial workers, as well as families and communities during the Industrial Revolution ― with each educational film based on real characters and factual information sourced from local history groups and Blaenavon archives.
From experiencing the hardship of working life at Big Pit with local miner, Henry Underwood, to celebrating the opening of St Peter's School ― which was built by Sarah Hopkins in remembrance of her brother and Ironmaster, Samuel Hopkins ― users can watch in real-time as modern-day Blaenavon landmarks and buildings return to a momentous time gone by.
The films can be viewed with or without an accompanying VR headset, which are available to borrow from Big Pit National Coal Museum or Blaenavon World Heritage Centre. Plus, visitors can revisit the on-site experience and view the digital package at home using a desktop browser.
In addition to the arrival of the new digital package, Torfaen County Borough Council and Big Pit National Coal Museum have unveiled three bespoke Time Travellers' benches to support the project ― with a different bench design located at each site for visitors to use while enjoying the immersive VR films.
Created by Welsh artist, Rubin Eynon, each bench has been designed to commemorate Blaenavon's rich heritage and forged out of local materials to represent the area's coal and mining industries.
Internationally recognised as the world's major producer of iron and coal during the 19th century, Blaenavon World Heritage Site is an exceptional testimony to the dynamic forces that drove the Industrial Revolution, and it is hoped that the new immersive experience and Time Travellers' benches will encourage visitors to further engage and take interest in Blaenavon's rich heritage.
Yesterday morning, Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Lord Elis-Thomas and local councillor, Cllr Alan Jones attended Blaenavon World Heritage Centre to announce the opening of the new visitor experience and unveil the commemorative benches.
Local students Leah Seabourne and Maddie Watkins, both age 8, from Ysgol Bryn Onnen were among the first to trial the VR experience, after performing a stunning rendition of Sosban Fach and Daw Hyfyd Fis with their school choir to mark the occasion.
Maddie Watkins, age 8, said "The Time Travel experience is amazing! It was really interesting to hear the stories of real people who lived and worked in Blaenavon and I think it will help lots of people to learn more about its history.
My favourite part of the VR films was watching the buildings right in front of my eyes transform into how they looked all those years ago".
Cllr Alan Jones, Executive Member for Business, Tourism, Leisure and Culture of Torfaen County Borough Council, said: "We would like to thank Welsh Government, Visit Wales and Big Pit National Coal Museum for supporting the funding of this project, which uses cutting-edge technology.
"We hope that everyone visiting the Blaenavon World Heritage Site will enjoy visiting the locations of the Time Travellers' benches and experiencing the virtual reality films ― which will show them what it was like to have lived and worked in Blaenavon during 19th and 20th centuries.
"We hope that the benches will encourage both old and new visitors to visit the site, so they can fully experience the rich industrial heritage it has to offer."
Deputy Minister for Culture and Tourism, Lord Elis-Thomas, said: "I'm delighted that we've been able to support this new development at the Blaenavon World Heritage Site and would like to congratulate all partners involved in this excellent project, which will benefit the town, Torfaen and the South East Wales visitor economy.
"Through their collective effort, visitors can now experience an exceptional journey, where they can walk in the footsteps of our ancestors.
"In order to enhance the visitor experience, it is vital that Wales's rich, cultural heritage attractions are relevant to modern day and provide a uniquely Welsh experience. This project has done exactly that ― and is an excellent way to discover more about Wales's past during our Year of Discovery."

Life in the boarding house
We welcome many students from regional Victoria and interstate, along with those who come to Melbourne from overseas. We recognise that moving to Melbourne to become a boarder may be a big change for your son, and offer a range of support mechanisms to make this transition easier.
Living in central Melbourne
Melbourne is often voted the most liveable city in the world. Within minutes of our boarding precinct, students have access to:
the world-famous Melbourne Cricket Ground and nearby AAMI Park.
green spaces including the Tan running track and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
cultural institutions such as the National Gallery of Victoria, the Shrine of Remembrance, Federation Square and the State Library of Victoria.
From our central location on Domain Road, boarders also have public transport access to nearby beaches, parks, shopping and cafés. Supervised weekend excursions and day trips are a regular part of boarders' experience.
The centralised location appealed to me a lot. I love that we're so close to everything.
James, Year 10

Explaining the Metaverse
Paul Swift July 20, 2022
Is the Metaverse a fad or the future of digital, asks Paul Swift, head of Technology, Media and Telecoms at Bank of Ireland. Closer to home, major digital developments are already happening at pace.
The terminology associated with the technology sector may be off-putting for some people as they struggle to keep pace and understand how emerging technologies will impact on their lives.
There is always the latest 'buzzword' being referred to in the press or online regarding the latest or must-have technology which can be daunting for some.
"The Metaverse will likely have become an overused term, perhaps decades before we see its manifestation"
Yet, in reality, much of the time the terminology becomes clichéd well before the technology itself is widely adopted and becomes ubiquitous. In recent weeks references to the "Metaverse" have grown significantly and probably requires a little explaining or at least a view on what it looks like as of today.
The first thing to say here is that, because the concept is still in the early stages, there isn't one accepted definition of the Metaverse, largely because it doesn't exist yet. Rather, instead various commentators are proposing different views of what it could and may look like.
There is consensus however that it is seen as the next iteration of the internet. What will it mean for people? Is it expected that it will be a shared virtual environment where augmented reality and virtual reality technologies become ubiquitous, to further blur the lines between the virtual and the real world experiences, bringing them to life in 3D.
In short, the Metaverse is seen as an immersive world where you can engage with family, friends or work colleagues.
An example could be two clinicians in disparate parts of the world, virtually examining a patient and collectively diagnosing health conditions and will enable patients to access care from healthcare professionals without being hindered by their geographic location.
The potential examples are endless and potential use cases are infinite, but as referred to earlier, the Metaverse will likely have become an overused term, perhaps decades before we see its manifestation.
VisionR receives investment from early stage fund
In May, Delta Partners announced the launch of its latest fund (DeltaIV) to invest in seed and early-stage technology businesses in Ireland. Following the launch, VisionR (formerly known as Glimpse) was announced as one of the first recipients of investment from this new fund.
VisionR specialise in providing valuable, actionable insights to traditional 'bricks and mortar' and omnichannel retailers capturing customer behaviour. Their platform tracks customers who enter the store, how they shop and how they react to purchasing cues. The platform also provides insights to retailers on how they can maximise revenue generation in relation to sales promotions and store layout.
The technology is relatively straightforward to implement and immediately starts to analyse shoppers using facial recognition and behavioural tracking technology, without impacting on privacy as the data that is harvested, is anonymised.
VisionR has already secured a partnership to deploy their technology with Spar International which will see their retail analytics platform rolled out across the company's 13,500 stores in 48 countries. This early-stage investment from Delta Partners is earmarked to support further growth, expansion and recruitment of new staff.
Bank of Ireland is a cornerstone investor in this new fund along with Enterprise Ireland and also includes Fexco and several family offices.
Ireland confirms its support for the Digital Services Act
Following on from political agreement being reached by the European Council and the European Parliament on the Digital Services Act (DSA) text on 23 April 2022 last, EU Ambassadors have in recent days given their support to the Council's approval. The European Parliament is also expected to ratify its approval soon. This now paves the way for the DSA to become EU law in the coming months, to combat and mitigate against illegal and harmful content that is disseminated online.
Those operators of search engines or online platforms that fail to comply with the new Digital Services Act face fines of up to 6% of their global revenue. The provisions of this law will in the first place, target very large online platforms and very large online marketplaces in 2023 and later to all of the other service providers in scope from early 2024. For context, those designated as very large online platforms and search engines are platforms with more that 45 million users throughout the European Union. The Government will now need to ensure that adequate resources are provided to the relevant authorities to ensure they have the necessary capabilities to enforce the implementation of these new laws as they come into force.
Irish Government beefs up cyber protection
Ireland's Government has recently signed up to a partnership with Microsoft's Government Security Program (GSP) joining over 40 countries and international organisations, represented by more than 70 agencies. Following the cyber-attack on Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) in May of last year, a subsequent review undertaken by PwC highlighted weak IT infrastructure and lack of investment in provision of cyber-security expertise. Joining the GSP will now assist the Government in defending against cyber-attacks and protecting Ireland's critical national infrastructure.
Harnessing Digital – The Digital Ireland Framework published earlier this year sets out strong ambitions by Government to ensure widespread access and use of inclusive digital public services, with a target of 90% of services to be consumed online by 2030. In order to meet this ambitious target, it is critical that the State's digital infrastructure must be protected from cyber threats.
This new partnership with Microsoft GSP aims to provide enhanced protection across four key pillars: Online Source Code, Transparency Centre, Information Sharing and Exchange and Technical Data.
Online Source Code: the ability to access and inspect source code for a variety of Microsoft products that enables program members to evaluate individual systems and functionality and check their reliability in relation to quality assurance and understand how certain features work. In simple terms Government representatives get to 'look under the bonnet' and ensure the coding of the technology has nothing hidden inside that shouldn't be there, which provides comfort and de-risks the use of Microsoft suite of products.
Transparency Centre: provides access to GSP program members/Microsoft customers with unprecedented transparency to provide confidence in the integrity and assurance of the Microsoft products and services they rely upon. GSP members can visit any one of five transparency centres around the world and conduct deep inspections of source code and the visit can be tailored to the unique goals of what a GSP member is trying to achieve. In this instance, the Irish Government are seeking to protect critical infrastructure and the inspection will likely focus on that objective.
Information Sharing: crucially being part of the GSP will provide the government/its various agencies with exchange materials concerning threats/ vulnerabilities, malware information, and potential security issues relating to Microsoft products and services. In short, the strength of Microsoft groups and resources are being made available to help governments, such as Ireland, to protect critical infrastructure, their agencies and their citizens.
The type of information that will now be shared includes IP addresses of infected devices, malicious URL directory (links created to promote scams or fraudulent activity), clean file metadata (identifies files that are actually from Microsoft using cryptography signatures of all Microsoft files and access to Forums that discuss cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.
Technical Data: GSP members can access information and ask questions and get tailored information based on their priorities and needs, so they can have trust in Microsoft products and services and their use. This access also includes written material, engagement with Microsoft engineers to discuss practical use cases and potential engineering of specific applications.
Given that Microsoft365, SharePoint, Exchange Server and SQL Server are so widely used by Government agencies, industry and citizens alike, this program will go some way to bringing about trust in the use of their products and services while also leveraging the scale and technological advances being made by Microsoft to enhance the safety and security of Ireland's critical infrastructure in guarding against cyber threats.

#SelmaForStudents Expands to Indianapolis and West Palm Beach
INDIANAPOLIS AND WEST PALM BEACH JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO BRING "SELMA" TO STUDENTS
MORE THAN 320,000 STUDENTS IN 34 LOCATIONS ACROSS THE U.S. WILL SEE ACADEMY AWARD® BEST PICTURE NOMINEE "SELMA" FOR FREE
ATLANTA, BOSTON, DETROIT, MIAMI, NEW YORK, NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, RALEIGH, DURHAM AND CHAPEL HILL, ST. LOUIS AND WASHINGTON D.C.ARE SOLD OUT
Indianapolis and West Palm Beach have joined the massive national campaign by African-American business leaders to raise funds for free student admission to the Academy Award®-nominated and Golden Globe-winning film "SELMA," expanding the unprecedented movement to a total of 34 locations nationwide.
Following the lead of a team of African-American business leaders in New York and across the U.S., funds have been established in these cities that will allow students to see "SELMA" for free at participating theaters while supplies last.
The Selma for Students program has grown steadily since its launch in New York City on January 8th. To date, African-American business leaders across the U.S. have raised funds for free admission for middle and high school students to see "SELMA." More than 320,000 students nationwide will experience the critically acclaimed film for free.
Due to the program's popularity and the ongoing efforts of the organizers, student tickets in Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Miami, New York, Northern New Jersey, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, St. Louis and Washington D.C. are sold out. Philadelphia expanded its program and added 3,000 more tickets to meet the overwhelming demand, while the business leaders in Northern New Jersey raised additional funds to send 1,000 students in Trenton, NJ to see the film.
The local business leaders who are leading the efforts in the new cities are:
· Derrick Burks, Indianapolis Office, Managing Partner, E&Y; Lacy Johnson Esq., Partner Ice Miller LLP; Kristin Mays-Corbitt, President, Mays Chemical Company, Inc; Alan Mills, Partner, Barnes & Thornburg; Woodrow A. Myers Jr., M.D., CEO, Corizon Correctional Healthcare; Sam Odle, Senior Policy Advisor, Bose Public Affairs, Retired CEO of Methodist and University Hospitals; Derica Rice, CFO, EVP of Global Services, Eli Lilly & Co; and John T. Thompson, CEO, Thompson Distribution Co. in Indianapolis
"Consistent with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s journey from Selma to Montgomery and across this country for freedom and justice for all, we are pleased to join the journey with so many leaders in the U.S. in providing an opportunity for Indianapolis students to be inspired by 'Selma.' This continues the legacy of the late William G. (Bill) Mays as a nationally recognized business leader and philanthropist," said Thompson.
· Edrick Barnes, Sire Archon (President) Epsilon Lambda Boule, Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, and Euclid Walker, Managing Partner, Parkway Investment Management, in West Palm Beach
"The men of Sigma Pi Phi fraternity are excited to support our local community by providing students in West Palm Beach the opportunity to see 'Selma.' The fraternity hopes that viewing the movie will serve as an educational opportunity to foster a greater appreciation of the rights and privileges that were born from the sacrifices of the Civil Rights Movement," said Barnes.
"The film 'Selma' has ignited a national movement of business leaders supporting our youth to see a film which can be used as a teaching tool about the civil rights movement," said Walker. "We've been delighted to work with national leaders and Paramount to ensure that Palm Beach County's youth benefit from this experience!"
These business leaders are following the lead of those in Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Central Florida/Orlando, Champaign-Urbana, IL, Charlotte, Chicago, Connecticut, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Memphis, Miami, Montgomery, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, Northern New Jersey, Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, San Diego, San Francisco, Sarasota, FL, St. Louis, Stockton, CA, Trenton, NJ, Washington D.C. and Westchester.
Viacom's Paramount Pictures, which is distributing "SELMA," is coordinating the programs with participating theaters in the U.S. For a list of participating theaters in select cities offering free admission to students during this program and for information on group sales, visit www.SelmaMovie.com/studenttickets
Middle and high school students who present a current student ID or report card at the box office of any participating theater will receive free admission while tickets last.
The nationwide efforts are inspired by the success of the program in New York City, in which 27 African-American business leaders created a fund for 27,000 of the city's 7th, 8th and 9th grade students to see the film for free. Due to the overwhelming demand, the New York City effort sold out in the very first weekend and was expanded to 75,000 tickets.
To help get the word out about the program, tweet using the hashtag #SelmaForStudents.

So I'd usually refer to a "solid black line" and there are  1,130,000 results (with quotes) for that against 320,000 for "black solid line". So far, so good.
When it comes to "dashed black line" it sounds weird to me though it's the same wording order. There are 214,000 for that against 318,000 results for the reverse order "black dashed line".
So, my question is: dashed black line or black dashed line? (considering that I am also mentioning the solid one, I was going for the first option not to break the pattern)

A: Generally the order of adjectives is: opinion, size, physical quality, shape, age, colour, origin, material, type, purpose - so... I would consider 'solid' and  'dashed' to be adjectives of physical quality, and I would write 'a solid black line' and 'a dashed black line'.

No Shadow of a Doubt
The 1919 Eclipse That Confirmed Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Autor: Daniel Kennefick
In 1919, British scientists led extraordinary expeditions to Brazil and Africa to test Albert Einstein's revolutionary new theory of general relativity in what became the century's most celebrated scientific experiment. The result ushered in a new era and made Einstein a global celebrity by confirming his dramatic prediction that the path of light rays would be bent by gravity. Today, Einstein's theory is scientific fact. Yet the effort to "weigh light" by measuring the gravitational deflection of starlight during the May 29, 1919, solar eclipse has been clouded by myth and skepticism.
Life at the Dakota
New York's Most Unusual Address
Autor: Stephen Birmingham
When Singer sewing machine tycoon Edward Clark built a luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side in the late 1800s, it was derisively dubbed "the Dakota" for being as far from the center of the downtown action as its namesake territory on the nation's western frontier. Despite its remote location, the quirky German Renaissance-style castle, with its intricate façade, peculiar interior design, and gargoyle guardians peering down on Central Park, was an immediate hit, particularly among the city's well-heeled intellectuals and artists.

The Telling Room
A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese
Autor: Michael Paterniti
In the picturesque village of Guzmán, Spain, in a cave dug into a hillside on the edge of town, an ancient door leads to a cramped limestone chamber known as "the telling room". Containing nothing but a wooden table and two benches, this is where villagers have gathered for centuries to share their stories and secrets - usually accompanied by copious amounts of wine. It was here, in the summer of 2000, that Michael Paterniti found himself listening to a larger-than-life Spanish cheesemaker named Ambrosio Molinos de las Heras as he spun an odd and compelling tale about a piece of cheese.

When we found this post we were so excited, having searched for over a year for this, finding it on this site was an exciting time for yours truly.
Gilberto Vazquez, 40, of 160 Euclid Ave., was busted after a struggle with a K-9 officer near Fargo Street just before midnight Saturday, according to Springfield police Sgt. John Delaney.
Officers responded to a complaint of a "prowler" wearing dark clothing near the back of a house on Gilbert Avenue, which has been the scene of several breaking and entering incidents over the past few months, Delaney said.
The K-9 officer located a man matching the description of the suspect running down the street. The man resisted arrest and struggled with the officer when he caught up with the suspect near Fargo Street, Delaney said.
"The presence and barking of (K-9) Kira stopped the suspect from carrying it any further," Delaney said.
The officer requested immediate assistance and described his location on his portable radio when he was startled to hear his own voice on a delay as he struggled with the suspect, Delaney said.
Police found that the alleged burglar was equipped with an earpiece that was wired into a portable police scanner, Delaney said. The scanner was tuned to the Springfield police and Massachusetts state police radio channel. The alleged burglar also had a cell phone with the Springfield police dispatch smartphone application tuned in to hear police dispatches, Delaney said.
The officer also found a metal crowbar and a knife on Vazquez. He had a small flashlight attached to his wrist by a string and was wearing gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints behind, Delaney said.
Vazquez was charged with possession of burglar tools, assault and battery on a police officer and trespassing, according to an arrest report. Vazquez will be arraigned in Springfield District Court Monday.
The investigation is open and detectives assigned to other house breaks in the immediate area are attempting to tie this suspect to those burglaries, Delaney said.

Grimes: Weird Science
MusicProfile
After three years of intense highs and lows, the quixotic auteur explains why she's coming back down to earth with her most personal album to date
TextOwen MyersPhotographyRoe EthridgeStylingRobbie Spencer
We partnered with Genius to create this annotated version of our Grimes autumn/winter 2015 cover story. Click the yellow highlights for new insights from Grimes and her collaborators
The last time Grimes saw me, I was dressed as a chicken gimp. I'd responded to her Twitter call-out for fans to dance at her upcoming shows, and at London's 2012 Field Day festival I downed a vodka, shoved on a fluffy white dress and PVC mask and bounded on stage as the space-gun synths of Claire Boucher's bedroom pop project blasted out to 7,000 Londoners and hit them in the heart. To witness her metamorphosis was incredible: she'd arrived a couple of hours before, bundled up in her parka with sunglasses on, having had no sleep and in desperate need of coffee, and now she was like a pop idol from another dimension with the magnetism of Morgan le Fay. Flinging off her cap, Boucher seemed to have gained a new life-force from the screams, lights and smoke as she drenched her burnt-orange hair with water, offering another bottle to me. She smacked her hand down on the sampler to drop the beat, and grinned like an eccentric engineer having a eureka moment.
Three years later, I've ditched the clucky costume and am reunited with Boucher in New York. Walking down Fifth Avenue towards the Guggenheim Museum, she wears a once-bright, now-faded loose vest depicting the comic book superhero Ms Marvel, and a plaid shirt that she'll later pull off to use as a makeshift blanket. To glance at her, perhaps the only clue that the 27-year-old isn't still a punk playing basement shows in Montreal is an Alexander Wang sneaker bag slung over her shoulder, an item created from classics reworked for a new purpose. In hindsight, it may not have been the best idea to visit one of New York's top tourist destinations on a Sunday in summer, but it's easy to forget that the low-key Boucher is kind-of famous.
The queue snakes out the door at the museum, and she starts getting asked for selfies before we can even get inside. "I can't believe you're here!" gasps a blonde teenager from Europe, pulling out her iPhone as the DIY pop powerhouse pulls a nervy 'Where do you want me?' grin. Does this happen often? "If you go to certain parts of Brooklyn it can be weird," says Boucher. "You get recognised but you're not in danger. There's not going to be a swarming. I've only had swarmings a few times." She's looking forward to playing a Dior-sponsored gala at the Guggenheim in November, and quickly darts past a bottleneck of tourists to peer up into the spiralling chasm of the atrium. It is epic in scale, but imperfectly suited to live acoustics. "I see what they were saying about the sound," she frowns.
Grimes9
Boucher has always had a perfectionist bent, and is in the habit of pushing herself to extremes to realise her musical multiverse, whether sneaking into the motocross to mosh with jocks for her breakout video, "Oblivion", or cloistering herself within blacked-out windows to record her last album, Visions. With a wildly creative and often subversive aesthetic, she's created some of the most unique records and videos of the decade, drawing from easily recognisable and esoteric styles to create an ultra-modern audio-visual amalgam. As a result, she's become an icon for those that like to blur boundaries, binaries or both, speaking to an audience unusual in scope for an artist on an indie label. In pop's hallowed hall, Boucher may be the one with the home-dyed fringe and odd socks, but it's hard to deny that she electrifies the room.
As we cross Central Park, Boucher happily chats away, words spilling from her mouth like a cranked-open jelly bean machine. She always seems to be testing out new connections and configurations of ideas, prefacing grand political statements with "I don't know if this is an argument I believe in, but…", or describing a new song as "if No Doubt did Studio Ghibli". Talking to her isn't stressful, but her pace can feel intense. Apparently the human brain has 100 trillion synaptic connections; with Boucher you can believe it.
If you look through her millefeuille of vocals, you'll find a highly attuned eco-consciousness on Grimes' new album, which has been through working titles of Fairy, Avalon, and Queen of the Night (after Mozart's supernatural anti-heroine from The Magic Flute, not the Whitney Houston classic). Boucher can't reveal the final name of the album, planning to make this announcement the day before it hits iTunes in October. "Lyrically, it's more political and less abstract than before," she explains. "Like, really trippy free association about nature and shit. There's a song that's from the perspective of a butterfly in the Amazon as people are cutting down trees; there's a song that's from the perspective of angels who are polluted, so they're crying polluted tears. I feel like it's more about the Earth. I think I was more in society when I was making it, so it feels more grounded."
"I think my music used to be more escapist. Visions didn't really acknowledge reality, but this record is more about looking reality in the face" – Claire Boucher
Most artists on the verge of global success see dollar signs. Boucher saw the devil. "Just before the Visions cycle started, I had my tarot done three times in a week," she says. Every time, the cards showed the devil – a powerful arcane symbol of excess, overindulgence and bondage of any kind. As the release of her career-defining album propelled her to worldwide prominence as Grimes, the prophecy was realised before her eyes. In a sense, she'd always thrived on being too pop for indie and too indie for pop; now, the world was catching up. In a series of short, sharp shocks to the system, she played sold-out shows around the world, partied with politically dubious princes and, with her eclectic pool-slides style feted by the fashion community, DJed for Donatella. As Boucher's visibility increased, suggestions that she relinquish creative control of her music came pouring in from, say, dance producers who wanted "an indie chick on their beat". She always declined.
Boucher has collaborated with artists in the past, such as Mike Tucker (AKA Blood Diamonds) on EDM summer jam "Go", Jack Antonoff, and ex-boyfriend Devon Welsh of Majical Cloudz, but a track falls short of being "Grimes canon" if it's not written and produced by her alone. Sitting in the mottled shade by Central Park's Belvedere Castle, the sunlight catches Boucher's face as she sips her citrus cooler. "If I was just doing vocals it would be, like, bang-bang-bang," she says. "The production is what takes a long time. I'm a weird artist, because I'm held up to the standard of a bunch of pop singers by my fanbase. A lot of people who love Grimes love Lana (Del Rey), or Charli (XCX). I don't want Grimes to be some kind of pristine pop star when I'm not. I don't think the music was ever that pop."
Yet judging by her new song, "Flesh Without Blood", Boucher may have a problem on her hands. Following this year's hook-driven demo "REALiTi", it's a soaring, instantly replayable power-pop kiss-off (actually directed at a female) that could well have been written by a crack team of Swedish pop masterminds. "I don't think it sounds like the current Top 40," she says, sceptically. "You're the first person who's said that." Whether she likes it or not, it seems primed to be her "Umbrella" moment, cementing her trajectory from cult phenomenon into a pop superstar. The question is: does she want it to be? "OK, so this is how I feel." She takes a deep breath. "I hate that all music right now has to exist in the context of the Top 40. I just want to make music that's good. Some good music is pop, some good music is not pop. Everyone is so driven by career stuff now – 'Can you reach the most people? Can you get on the radio?' It's just like, maybe I don't give a fuck?"
All clothes Miu MiuAll clothes Miu Miu
A self-ruling spirit runs in the Boucher family's blood. The second-oldest of five siblings, Grimes Jr spent much of her childhood in the mountainous wilds of British Columbia. "My grandparents live out there," she says. "They are survivalists. They have their garden where all their shit comes from in case there's a war from America." Describing herself as a "weird kid who drew a lot", Boucher attended a strict Catholic school with a blanket ban on the teaching of science – let alone evolution. Always inquisitive, she remembers "getting in trouble very early on because I questioned God and shit like that".
Moving to Montreal at 18 to study psychology (with a minor in electroacoustics) at McGill University, Boucher was not particularly dedicated to academia, but found an education in the city's burgeoning indie community, particularly the scene around local loft venue Lab Synthèse. "She was fun to be around," recalls Emily Kai Bock, who started a zine with Boucher called Beaubien and went on to co-direct her phenomenal "Oblivion" video. "She was shy and creative, smart and interested in weird things like deep space and learning Russian. I lived at Lab Synthèse at the time, where I made performance-art pieces using our friends as actors, and Claire played violin behind the stage."
In addition to singing backing vocals for lo-fi pop prince Sean Nicholas Savage, Boucher began to create music of her own around this time, lifting the name 'Grimes' from a Myspace genre she'd never heard of and putting out the Dune-inspired Geidi Primes in 2010 on Arbutus Records. But in a city where everyone mildly left-of-centre seemed to be in a band, Grimes was in danger of getting lost amid the noise. Still developing her sound, Boucher took speed while making music with a friend one day. When he came down, she was still up, so she pulled an all-nighter on GarageBand, crafting the shuffling, spectral "Weregild", which opens with her enticing her cat to mew ("Say something for me, Voignamir!") and would later appear on her next album Halfaxa. Finding a sweet spot between her lo-fi aesthetic and pop structure, all of Grimes' sonic signatures were in place. "I was like, 'Wow, this song's so much better than anything I've ever made!'" she told Dummy at the time.
"I wouldn't want to be responsible for anyone taking drugs as an important part of being creative, or feel that it's necessary," she says today. "Because it's not. Sometimes I play shows and there are a bunch of 15-year-olds in the audience with their parents and I'm like, 'I can't continue to romanticise this in public.'" All the same, she doesn't mind people knowing that narcotics played a part in kick-starting her creative process. "I think it's good to be a little transparent. It's the truth. If anything, I actually feel really proud that I've gotten to a lot healthier place in my life. You can either keep being a dick and fucking around with your health, or you can get healthy because you need to play shows every day and it's really hard. I think it's good that there's an obvious trajectory. You can look at pictures of me from two years ago and I look so much less healthy than I do now. I'm not trying to pretend that anything didn't happen."
Transparency comes easily to Boucher, as quickly becomes clear if you follow her online, where she's always keen to start a dialogue with those that may or may not be like her. Sometimes she'll give practical advice, like when she wrote an Ableton tutorial for amateur musicians, or sometimes it's more political, as in the Instagramming of her body hair. She follows through in her work, too, whether giving a platform to internet kids like Brooke Candy in her "Genesis" video, putting unknown Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes on the beat (riotous new track "Scream") or inviting fans to dance on stage with her. "Claire has started a cultural revolution of sorts," says Candy. "Rather than ripping us off, she shone light on us."
Boucher is secure enough in her position not to be threatened by others, but it continues to be a private battle. Following the success of Visions, she attended a number of sessions at Californian 'writer camps', where teams of songwriting wizards shape the sound of next year's Billboard Hot 100. In an environment where it felt like art could play second fiddle to commerce, she not only hit a creative impasse, but was disrespected and sidelined by male co-workers. "You get good people, but there are just some bad people," she says, looking downcast. "I went into a work situation with people being sexually creepy. It was more the engineers at the studio. You might be in there with someone cool, and then an engineer says, 'Here's my number,' and I'm like, 'Can you not give me your number while I'm at work and you're supposed to be working for me? For real?' I'd like to be able to go to work and not be asked on a date. I'd like to go to work and be allowed to touch the computer." The experience inspired a 'diss track' on the new album. She will, at least, have the last word.
"Feminism is not what motivated me to become a musician. The reason I have fucking armpit hair is… I don't actually like it, aesthetically! I'm just too busy to deal with it. I am a working woman" – Claire Boucher
"The fact that I have to fight to be allowed to do my own work is crazy," she says. "I became super-feminist in reaction to the industry. It's not like I came in and said, 'This is my thing.' I mean, I fucking love Kathleen Hanna, but feminism is not what motivated me to become a musician. The reason I have fucking armpit hair is… I don't actually like it, aesthetically! I'm just too busy to deal with it. I am a working woman." She says her "life has been significantly easier" since Miley Cyrus started posting pictures of her armpit hair this year.
Like Cyrus and her high-profile Happy Hippie Foundation, which helps homeless and LGBTQ youth, Boucher's views seem to align most closely with intersectional feminism, which accounts for other cultural factors such as gender, sexuality, race and class. On a personal level, she doesn't relate that strongly to female gender identity in a traditional sense, writing earlier this year on Twitter, "I vibe in a gender-neutral space so I'm kinda impartial to pronouns." Today, she echoes that statement. "I just want to be a human being. I don't want to have to be gendered all the time, and having the constant discussion about feminism really genders me and makes me just feel so much of… something that I have never really identified with."
Hyper-aware of how her presentation is perceived, on any given day Boucher may remind you of a thrift-store Juggalette, the telekinetic daughter in Tarkovsky's Stalker clad in her babushka, or David Bowie circa Aladdin Sane. "She's pluricultural in the way she dresses," says Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière of Boucher's unpredictable eye. "She's a hybrid girl: techno and hard, but at the same time classical and soft." While she's never relied on a stylist to shape her image, Boucher has a synergistic relationship with designers. "As a musician, I get where they are coming from, because they're on rolling deadlines and have to create new shit all the time. Fashion as a whole can be a corporate entity, but the actual designers behind it are creative people who are under a lot of pressure, making stuff and then being judged for it publicly. I mean, when people judge my shit they aren't judging a song I bought" – the writer camps are still playing on her mind – "they're judging my life." Does it feel like laying your heart out on the table? "Yeah. It's your heart, and your skills, and your ability to perform, and your charisma."
The lyrics of Boucher's songs are often emotionally charged, but sometimes the cloak is so iridescent that you don't immediately notice the dagger lurking beneath. "Oblivion" was written after an incident of sexual abuse that she experienced in Montreal a few years ago. "I was literally in tears when I sat down to make that song," she says. Four hours later, she had translated her trauma into a digital-age cult smash with a message that reached millions (18m on YouTube and counting). "For me, that's the best motivation for music. You're turning emotional existence into a product that people can understand, and you get a high off that. I think the first reason I make music is that it's a therapeutic way to deal with things. I always make the best shit when I'm upset. If you start off really upset and you work and work till the sun is rising and you are finishing, you can tell it's really universal and it's this great thing... That high is unbeatable; that's the greatest fucking high on planet Earth."
A week later on Skype, Boucher is at home in LA and appears pink-haired in front of a wall collage of pop-culture heroines: Pamela Anderson snarling, Beyoncé in a balaclava, Lady Gaga regally reclining. She's putting the finishing touches to an art book inspired by tarot cards to accompany the vinyl release of her new album – and this time, the devil won't be rearing his horned head. She quickly turns round her sketchbook for a flash of a graphic illustration that still has the old album title, Fairy, at the top. The self-created ecosystem around her work may be as eclectic as ever, but on her new experimental pop odyssey, the gloves are off as never before. "I think my music used to be more escapist," she says. Visions didn't really acknowledge reality, but this record is more about looking reality in the face." Leaving Claire Boucher in her shrine to pop icons, there's a look in her eye that tells me this may not be reality as we know it. She returns to working on the arcana of her own design.

Q: Validating input with Joi - Express and using it in React I'm trying to validate a form using Redux Form, Thunk and then Joi on the backend.
What I'd like to do is when the user submits the form, I'd like to dispatch my action, which calls my API, and then if the Joi middleware catches a problem with the form, react on the frontend accordingly based on what the error is.
The problem I'm having is I don't know how to access the json that follows on from the error status code sent back by Joi.
Here's my dispatch action on the frontend:
export const signUp = (
  newUser: User
): ThunkAction<void, AppState, null, Action<string>> => async dispatch => {
  try {
    const res = await axios.post("http://localhost:2000/users/signup", newUser);
  } catch (error) {
     console.log("THE ERROR", error)
  }
};

And then on the backend, this is my joi middleware:
validateBody: (schema) => {
        return (req, res, next) => {
            const result = Joi.validate(req.body, schema);
            if (result.error)  {
                return res.status(400).json({ error: "this is your error" })
            }

            // validated values are in req.value.body if it's there
            if (!req.value) {
                req.value = {};
            }
            req.value['body'] = result.value;
            // the next allows the middleware to pass through
            next();
        }

    },

If I run this with a problem in the form, I get
THE ERROR Error: Request failed with status code 400
    at createError (createError.js:17)
    at settle (settle.js:19)
    at XMLHttpRequest.handleLoad (xhr.js:60)

But I can't find how to access the json ("this is your error") in the catch block. Any help would be really appreciated. Many thanks.

A: Axios error is inside error.response.
You can access the error like this:
  try {
    const res = await axios.post("http://localhost:2000/users/signup", newUser);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.response) {
      /*The request was made and the server responded with a
        status code that falls out of the range of 2xx  */
      console.log(error.response.data);
      console.log(error.response.status);
      console.log(error.response.headers);
    } else if (error.request) {
      /* The request was made but no response was received, `error.request`
       * is an instance of XMLHttpRequest in the browser and an instance
       * of http.ClientRequest in Node.js */
      console.log(error.request);
    } else {
      // Something happened in setting up the request and triggered an Error
      console.log("Error", error.message);
    }
  }

Acacia melanoxylon R. Br.
An evergreen tree reaching in a wild state heights of 60 to 80, sometimes 100 to 120 ft; young shoots angular, minutely downy. True leaves are comparatively rarely present on old trees, but in the juvenile state they are quite frequently mixed up with phyllodes. They are doubly pinnate, the leaflets oblong, shortly and abruptly pointed, and 1⁄4 in. long. Phyllodes scimitar-shaped, tapered at both ends; 21⁄2 to 51⁄2 in. long, 3⁄4 to 11⁄8 in. wide; with three to five prominent veins running lengthwise; minutely downy when young. Flowers yellow, produced in spring in globose heads 1⁄4 in. wide; they occur, a few together, in axillary racemes. Pods flat, 2 to 4 in. long, 1⁄3 in. wide, often much curved. Bot. Mag., t. 1659.
Native of Tasmania and the southern parts of Australia; introduced from the former in 1808. It grows quite well in the open air in southern England from Dorset westward, in S.W. Scotland and in Ireland. At Abbotsbury, near Weymouth, it used to be 40 to 50 ft high; at Boslowick in Cornwall it reached 70 ft. At the present time there are no specimens of this size in England, so far as is known, but there are many flourishing trees in Eire. At Rossdohan in Co. Kerry the two best examples are 81 × 73⁄4 and 80 × 6 ft (1966) with others of 50 ft; self-sown seedlings occur there. At Ilnacullin (Garinish Island), in Bantry Bay, Co. Cork, the best is 55 × 6 ft. In Scotland there are two examples at Brodick, Isle of Arran, about 25 ft high.
Although not so decorative in flower as the other acacias described here, it makes the finest tree. It yields a valuable timber, hard and close-grained, and has some value in forestry in the warmer parts of the world. It is naturalised in Madeira, where it is one of the commonest trees around Funchal.

The Rug Company's New Manhattan Showroom
The Rug Company's recent move to a building half a block down East 59th Street from its previous Manhattan spot

The old real-estate maxim "Location, location, location" figured in the Rug Company's recent move to a building half a block down East 59th Street from its previous Manhattan spot. "It was important to stay in the city's design hub—we're just steps from the D&D Building," says the firm's cofounder Christopher Sharp, referring to the collective of showrooms across the street. The new space, in a brick-fronted low-rise with a steel-framed glass entry, has a kicky, inviting vibe. Velvet-upholstered vintage and midcentury-inspired furnishings are joined here and there by metallic touches: half-dome fiberglass lamps lined in gold leaf, reception desks embellished with brass studs in a Greek-key motif. Meanwhile, the vibrant handmade rugs of the brand's contemporary collection are arrayed on walls as well as floors—from Alexander McQueen's brilliant butterfly patterns to Diane von Furstenberg's slinky leopard design to the swirl variations of Paul Smith. "Ultimately it's about product, service, and convenience," Sharp says. "We aim to deliver on all three." At 219 E. 59th St., New York, NY; therugcompany.com

Q: Candlestick/Financial Charts in Ruby Are there any good libraries available for plotting candlestick and other types of financial charts in Ruby?  I saw this similar post from over a year ago. The presented options that fit my needs from that post were Python, however.
EDIT:
One requirement is that I need real-time charts, updating multiple times a second.

A: The google chart API supports candlestick charts, among other things.
There are a few gems that automate this: googlecharts, gchartrb. I haven't used them but they look like a good first cut.

U.S Senator Russ Feingold, Chairman of the Subcommittee on African Affairs
I have served on the Subcommittee on African Affairs since first coming to the Senate in 1993, and have served as both Chairman and Ranking Member. As the current Chairman, I am continuing my efforts to make sure we seriously address the region's conflicts, humanitarian and health crises, and governance challenges.
I have had the opportunity to visit a number of African nations, where I have met with government officials and members of civil society to examine the complex problems they face, and to evaluate how the United States can support their political, economic, and social development.
I have been particularly active in speaking out against the genocide in Darfur. I have cosponsored legislation, including a resolution declaring the atrocities in Darfur as genocide and the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act. I have also consistently pressed the Administration to ensure that the perpetrators of the genocide be held accountable, and to expand the existing peacekeeping mission to secure a lasting peace.
Africa's weak and failing states provide havens for international criminals. Lawless areas, corrupt officials, and inadequate infrastructure present favorable conditions for terrorist training and financing, which presents a serious and far-reaching security threat. I have pressed the Administration to address weak and failing states, particularly Somalia.
Recently, I chaired a hearing of the African Affairs Subcommittee on the immediate and underlying causes and consequences of Kenya's flawed election. View the transcript here.

Congress Authorizes Accelerated Hypersonics Plan
By Daryl G. Kimball
Within weeks of taking office, President Joe Biden and his team will be confronted with dozens of pivotal choices. An under-the-radar but consequential decision facing the new administration will be whether and how to move forward with Trump-era plans to expand the U.S. national missile defense footprint with new sea-based missiles that can shoot down long-range ballistic missiles.
Although the new interceptor, known as the Aegis Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA, may help mitigate the ballistic missile threat from North Korea in the near term, it will undoubtedly encourage Russia and China to believe they need to continue to enhance the capability and quantity of their offensive nuclear-armed missiles—and undoubtedly complicate progress on arms control.
Nuclear strategists have long understood that the development and deployment of strategic missile interceptors are ineffective against determined nuclear-armed adversaries but could lead them nonetheless to build more numerous and sophisticated offensive missile systems to overwhelm and evade missile defenses.
To prevent costly and destabilizing missile competition, Washington and Moscow agreed to cap strategic missile interceptors to no more than 100 each under the terms of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. Those limits facilitated progress on arms control and steep reductions in U.S. and Soviet nuclear forces.
Even after the U.S. withdrawal from the ABM Treaty in 2002, U.S. policymakers have focused for the most part on improving capabilities to address limited missile threats from rogue states. To date, the Pentagon has only managed to field 44 strategic interceptors as part of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system. This system would be ineffective against Russia's arsenal of some 450 land- and sea-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and China's arsenal of some 100 ICBMs.
As North Korea has improved its ballistic missile capabilities in recent years, however, Congress has poured billions of dollars more into the Missile Defense Agency to develop, procure, and test additional missile defense capabilities and explore new technologies.
In 2019, the Trump administration's Missile Defense Review recommended a more robust approach "to further thicken defensive capabilities for the U.S. homeland" to defend against the rogue-state threat. But President Donald Trump declared that the goal is to "ensure we can detect and destroy any missile launched against the United States anywhere, anytime, anyplace."
Such an approach, if pursued, would represent a major departure from the traditional policy of defending against limited attacks from North Korea or possibly Iran.
The Trump administration's fiscal year 2021 defense budget request sought nearly $180 million to adapt the Aegis missile defense system and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system to intercept ICBMs.
On Nov. 17, the Missile Defense Agency tested the SM-3 Block IIA against an ICBM-type target. Current Pentagon plans call for building hundreds of SM-3 Block IIA interceptors by 2030 and deploying them on land and at sea across the globe.
James Miller, a former undersecretary of defense for policy and Biden campaign adviser, told Arms Control Today last year that if the SM-3 Block IIA missile becomes part of the U.S. national missile defense architecture, "we should expect the Chinese nuclear arsenal to grow substantially and Russia to resist reductions—and to prepare seriously to break out."
As a first step, the new administration should reiterate that U.S. homeland missile defense capabilities will be sized to defend against third-party offensive missile threats, not against more sophisticated Russian and Chinese capabilities.
Such a clarification alone will not be sufficient. Moscow has conditioned further offensive nuclear cuts on future limits on U.S. missile defenses. Russia claims its efforts to develop new intercontinental-range nuclear delivery systems such as an undersea torpedo, hypersonic glide vehicle, and nuclear-powered cruise missile are designed to overcome U.S. missile defenses.
China has already begun to respond to U.S. missile defense capabilities by diversifying its nuclear strike capabilities, including by increasing the number of silo-based ICBMs that are armed with multiple warheads.
U.S. efforts to further limit Russian nuclear weapons and bring China into the arms control process are unlikely to gain traction unless Washington agrees to seriously discuss its long-range missile defense capabilities, including the SM-3 Block IIA. Fielding sufficient missile defenses to defend against limited ballistic attacks from North Korea or Iran and agreeing to binding limits on the quantity, location, and capability of such defenses should not be mutually exclusive.
But doing so will require the Biden administration to move away from the simplistic notion that there should never be any limits on U.S. missile defenses.
Twenty years ago, then-Senator Biden argued for the "development of a theater missile defense that enhances regional stability" and against a strategic missile defense system that "would be seen as threatening by both Russia and China." Now, as president, Biden has a responsibility to adjust the U.S. missile defense strategy so that it strikes the right balance.
