A Slant of Light, Wang Yahui's solo exhibition at TKG+ in four years since 2012, is a continuation of her exploration of the concept of time and space through mediums of image expression. In constantly pondering the artist seeks to narrate in the visual language the outside world, universal experiences, and intangible feelings. The exhibition title "A Slant of Light" is inspired by Italian painter Giorgio Morandi and Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei.
"A Slant of Light" is a play on a verse in The Deer Range by Wang Wei. A poet and a painter, Wang Wei was praised by Song Dynasty literary giant Su Shi, who regarded Wang's work as "painting within poetry, poetry within painting." The portrayal in Wang Wei's poetry runs parallel to the composition of a painting, where emotions interweave with landscapes in varying shades. His writing conjures microcosmic changes in scenery that not only reflect the macrocosmic whole, but leave room for imagination. His use of contrast creates dramatic scenarios, while his depiction of dynamic scenes brings poetic imagery to life. Wang Wei interpreted what he perceived through the medium of text (or image composition). A process that resonates with Wang Yahui's art practice, which seeks poetry within the visual language.
Wang Yahui tests the boundary of visual perception by delving into concepts of empty and solid, inside and outside, the elasticity of time, and the field of vision, later on incorporating elements of memory and life experience. On view at Wang's solo exhibition are a photography series, two video installations, a kinetic installation, and one sculpture, where the artist tracks the trajectory of movement in a space in the form of minimalist graphics, eliminating real-life scenarios and past experiences. Lines and squares of ink occupy a labyrinthine space where imagery of ink transports viewers to an unreachable land in prolonged time, every minute change a narrative about procreation, recurrence, and demise. Each photographic work is a space of its own, while the subtle movement of the kinetic installation and the moving image of the video works percolate an energy of life, rippling in the seemingly quiet space. The element of time becomes less relevant in Wang's new body of work, where the element of space is instead accentuated and magnified. Reconfiguring the concept of space, Wang invites viewers to reconsider its fluid, impalpable nature, as they become immersed in where they are and riveted by what they see.
A Slant of Light mirrors the thought process of Wang Yahui, just as Wang Wei' poetry reflects his inner landscape, solitary yet lurking with life. Spectators are lured into Wang Yahui's work as visual clues beckon them to scrutinize her thoughts, inspiring them to contemplate the exterior world. Before the day's remaining light disappears silently on the green moss, the audience are encouraged to redefine the simple act of seeing.

Q: Converting Date time formats What's the best way to convert date time formats using javascript?
I have this..  "2015-08-06T00:39:08Z"
and would like to change it to
"06/08/2015 12:39pm"

A: You could do it manually by instantiating a Date object:
var d = new Date('2015-08-06T00:39:08Z');

Then using the Date methods (like getDay or getUTCFullYear) to get the information needed and build the formatted string.
Or, if you don't mind relying on a library, you could use http://momentjs.com/ that provides a lot of methods, and particularly the format method: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/
// Example with moment.js
var formattedDate = moment('2015-08-06T00:39:08Z').format("MM/DD/YYYY hh:mma");
alert(formattedDate);

A: Use newDate() method, then Date Get Methods. Examples are explained on w3Schools
Method  Description
            getDate()   Get the day as a number (1-31)
            getDay()    Get the weekday as a number (0-6)
            getFullYear()   Get the four digit year (yyyy)
            getHours()  Get the hour (0-23)
            getMilliseconds()   Get the milliseconds (0-999)
            getMinutes()    Get the minutes (0-59)
            getMonth()  Get the month (0-11)
            getSeconds()    Get the seconds (0-59)
            getTime()   Get the time (milliseconds since January 1, 1970)

A: With pure javascript:
code:
function formatDate(input) {
    var datePart = input.match(/\d+/g),
        year = datePart[0], // get only two digits
        month = datePart[1],
        day = datePart[2];
    var h = parseInt(input.substr(input.indexOf("T") + 1, 2));
    var m = parseInt(input.substr(input.indexOf(":") + 1, 2));
    var dd = "AM";
    if (h >= 12) {
        h = hh - 12;
        dd = "PM";
    }
    if (h == 0) {
        h = 12;
    }
    m = m < 10 ? "0" + m : m;
    alert(day + '/' + month + '/' + year + ' ' + h.toString() + ':' + m.toString() + dd);
}

formatDate('2015-08-06T00:39:08Z'); // "18/01/10"

For road closures and other flood updates, please visit our Newsroom.
Heavy precipitation, combined with snowmelt and frozen ground conditions are resulting in significant runoff. Water levels in local rivers and streams are currently rapidly increasing and are expected to exceed their bankfull conditions in multiple locations. Smaller steams are responding faster, while it takes longer for larger watercourses to react.
Flooding in low lying areas, areas adjacent to streams and road ditches is anticipated. Roads overtopping have been reported in several locations. Ponding of water on urban surfaces may occur as storm sewer systems can become overwhelmed by high runoff or clogged with snow, ice and debris. Rapid deterioration of the ice cover on local rivers and streams has been observed.
Under these watershed conditions all local watercourses should be considered extremely dangerous. Kawartha Conservation is warning all residents to stay away from all water bodies, as well as water structures such as bridges, culverts, and dams. Riverbanks are slippery and unsafe; ice cover where it exists is unstable and hazardous. Children should be warned of dangerous conditions and caregivers should maintain a close watch on children who are outside.
Trent-Severn Waterway officials are closely watching this current situation and will be adjusting dam settings throughout the system when the situation warrants. Staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry are monitoring water levels of the Burnt and Gull rivers.
This Flood Watch will be in effect until Friday February 23, 2018.

A350 wiring made by women in Morocco.
Labinal Power Systems Morocco (subsidiary of the Safran Group) has celebrated the 10th anniversary of its site at Aïn Atiq in Temara with an annual growth of 30% and 1.300 employees.
Safran CEO Jean Paul Herteman visited the Aïn Atiq site that currently is one of the most important factories for aeronautical wiring-manufacturing in the world.
"The social climate that prevails and energy that emanates leave me speechless," said Moulay Hafid Elalamy, Minister of industry who took part in the ceremony.
Labinal Morocco has successively hosted the transfers of production of wiring systems and electrical furniture of the Airbus programs like A320, the A330 and the A400M, which had been originally developed in France.
The A350 wiring have been the first electric wiring system workpackage that has been industrialized in Labinal Morocco. Patrick Gaillard, Managing Director of Labinal-Morocco, noted that "the A350 wiring have been manufactured in Morocco with Moroccan managers and staff."
"Morocco is our 4th country in the world after France, United States and Mexico" said Jean-Paul Herteman, Safran CEO. "Our growth targets for Morocco site are of around 5% every year. We will open a new plant in Casablanca in the coming weeks, specializing in brain mechanisms for flight control, which is something highly technological."
"We are also investing in the training because our requirements of employees are important. We are very pleased with the quality of our employees both engineers and operators."
The site employs 1.300 people, including 91% women, more than half are graduates of higher education.

2nd A350 delivery to Qatar on Friday 27/Feb during Airbus Group press conference.
Airbus is preparing the second A350-900 (MSN7) for delivery to Qatar Airways on Friday.
The airline got its first A350 on 22/Dec/2014 and started flying the daily Doha-Frankfurt route on 15/Jan/2015.
Qatar CEO Akbar Al Baker said at the Frankfurt ceremony last month that he expected to take delivery of the 2nd aircraft within 3 weeks, but more than 6 weeks have passed since then.
A Qatar Airways official said on Monday that the aircraft is "on schedule to begin on the Frankfurt route on Sunday 1/March as indicated earlier."
It is unclear what caused the current slippage, and Airbus & Qatar are not revealing details of the progress in the delivery process and why the aircraft has not been handed over earlier.
Qatar Airways has replaced a Boeing 787-8 on the Doha-Frankfurt route with its first A350 and it is making Frankfurt the initial destination for the 2nd aircraft.
Qatar Airways is currently lobbying for better access to the German market and has used the A350 to showcase what it perceives as its superior product compared to Lufthansa.
Al Baker is in Berlin next week for the ITB, the world's largest travel and tourism show. He is expected to reveal initial operating data for the A350 and to advertise the arrival of the MSN7.
Airbus also has an incentive to finalize the delivery this week, as Airbus Group, the company's parent, holds its annual press conference on Friday 27/Feb.

Titanium parts from USA for A350 XWB
Ducommun Incorporated has reported that it has been awarded its first direct contract from Airbus for the A350 XWB wide-body aircraft.
Ducommun will provide titanium components for titanium assemblies that will be installed on the aft fuselage section of the jet.
The components are already in production at Ducommun's Coxsackie, N.Y. operations center, which specializes in forming technology for shaping titanium, steel and other hard metals for challenging aerospace requirements.
"This new contract establishes the baseline for Ducommun to continue expanding its support of Airbus in North America" said Anthony J. Reardon, chairman and chief executive officer.

1.5m-diameter titanium 3D-printed part to be flight-test on A350-1000 engine.
Rolls-Royce will flight-test later this year a Trent XWB-97 engine fitted with what it claims is the largest component ever built using additive layer manufacturing (ALM).
The titanium structure is a 1.5m-diameter and 0.5m-thick front bearing housing containing 48 aerofoils, manufactured using the ALM technique, also known as 3D printing.
The UK propulsion giant has already ground-tested several XWB-97s – the sole engine for the in-development Airbus A350-1000 – containing the tractor-tyre-sized part, but no engine including such a large ALM component has ever powered an aircraft in flight, said Rolls-Royce.
Although production XWB-97s will not contain the ALM component – at least not initially – the Derby-based company says the project is a key step towards proving the industrial viability of the process, which it says could trim 30% from "like-for-like manufacturing lead time".
"It is ideal for prototyping. Shortening the manufacturing time by almost a third gives us more time to design, which is always a benefit," said Alan Newby, chief engineer for future programs and technology. "We are also able to produce designs that we wouldn't otherwise be able to do."
Rolls-Royce is not new to ALM – a technique by which metal powder is melted by electron beam and built ultra-thin layer by layer into complex shapes – having used it to repair components for at least five years. "We are using this knowledge now to build up to bigger components," said Newby.

Air Caraïbes will order 3+2 additional A350 XWB
In the context of the purchase of Corsair, Dubreuil group has decided to increase its commitments on the Airbus A350.
Jean-Paul Dubreuil, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Group and Air Caraïbes, has announced last week that it has planned to acquire 3 additional A350-900 and 2 additional A350-1000.
The initial order in 2013, was for 3+3 A350 XWB.
Three A350-900 (with 389 seats in a high-density seat configuration) leased from ILFC (absorbed by AerCap) to be delivered between 2016 and 2018.

The new order for 3+2 aircraft will be as follows:
Additional 3 A350-900s will be again leased and deliveries are scheduled between 2017 and 2019.
Additional two A350-1000 are conversion of options form the 2013 order done by Air Caraïbes. Air Caraïbes is trying to get earlier delivery dates that for the time being are planned for 2023 and 2024.

In 2024, Air Caraïbes and Corsair should operate 11 A350 XWB on the Caribbean and Reunion Island, "where they will be terribly effective", according to Marc Rochet, Chairman of Air Caraïbes.

Innovative & easy-to-use non-destructive testing device for A350 customer support.
Airbus Group Innovations' structural health engineering capabilities have been deployed in coordination with Airbus and TESTIA to prepare an easy-to-use, non-destructive testing (NDT) device in support of the A350 XWB's commercial service entry.
The Line Tool – developed with Airbus Group Innovations' "smart NDT" expertise – provides a straightforward "go" or "no-go" decision for airline maintenance personnel in the event of an impact to a composite component.
"When exposed to impacts, composite materials are subject to delamination – the loss of cohesion between constitutive layers – which can cause a significant reduction in mechanical strength with surface indications barely visible," explained Sébastien Rolet, Head of Airbus Group Innovations' Structure Health Engineering Department. "In support of the A350 XWB's entry into service, Airbus identified a need for efficient testing of areas on the aircraft that are potentially exposed to impacts, such as the fuselage skin near doors for loading passengers, baggage or cargo."
Once the possible-impact area identified, water is sprayed onto the area of the aircraft to be inspected. Water acts as a coupling medium to ensure the efficient transfer of ultrasound waves from the sensor to the test material and back. Finally, the Line Tool's wheel probe is rolled over the composite section to be inspected, sending ultrasound waves through the material.
The Line Tool interprets ultrasonic signals to determine both the reliability of the diagnosis and the presence (red) or absence of delamination. In case a red "no-go" signal, further assessment from a certified NDT expert is required to study the delamination.
Able to be operated by airline maintenance personnel, this innovative non-destructive testing device saves time and money compared to previous non-destructive testing protocols that required a certified expert.
"After a successful development phase, the first production units were assembled in late 2014. Airlines already have had the opportunity to test our prototype, and they were very impressed with its ease-of-use and the speed with which it can deliver a diagnosis," added Sébastien Rolet.

Design authority delegation for KAI's A350 workpackage
Korea Aerospace Industries has received from Airbus the Design Approval Authority (AP1020) delegation over the wing ribs for the A350-900.
This is the first time such rights are granted to an Asian aircraft parts supplier.
The rights give KAI a broad degree of autonomy in relation to the design, testing, and certification on the A350X wing rib structure.
The company will apply the rights to the ongoing wing rib development of the A350-1000 aircraft and expects to cut design time and cost.
The wing ribs are exclusively produced at the "A350 Factory", located at the headquarters in Sacheon, Gyeongnam Province. The factory was completed in 2010 to build the automation production lines 100%.
Bruno Hernandez Airbus Wing-Ribs Program Manager said KAI has excellent processes and the capabilities of its management team is "impressive".
