Arts Collaboratory is an ecosystem of twenty-five like-minded organizations situated predominantly in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, all of whom are focused on collective governance. The organizations engage in expanded artistic and curatorial practices for social change, as well as sustainability practices in their respective contexts, with the aim of being effective in and beyond the field of art. The network operates as an active ecosystem, where knowledge and strengths are brought together and harvested in processes of collective organization. It is a radical experiment in exploring the potentiality of art and social transformation when the experiences, dreams, and critical reflections of cultural practitioners from across the globe are allowed to meet.
Founded in 2007 and currently in its third phase of life, the network strives for horizontality among members. Each of the participating organizations commits to common ethical principles and contributes to the ecosystem's health by way of translocal triangles made up of three organizations. An annual assembly for collective decision-making and knowledge exchange is hosted rotationally by the members. Otherwise the ecosystem regenerates itself through collective projects and small-scale meetings called Bangas, which are based on a "call for gathering" for friendship, reciprocal support, collective study on a particular subject/issue, and tooling. Arts Collaboratory is a place for self-care and working in common across territories to form a community of solidarity based on mutualism, empathy, and vulnerability. The aim of unlearning capital- and productivity-driven working methods is central to the way the network thinks but also lives. Instead of filing reports, members participate in collective and consistent study practices that prioritize process and openness over success.
These principles are given form in collaborative artistic projects that range from residencies, exchanges, and curatorial enquiry, to grassroots action and co-publications across the ecosystem. Such projects create tools that allow for new channels of creation and "radical imagination" beyond geographic, political, and linguistic divides.
Arts Collaboratory was established in 2007 by two Dutch foundations, DOEN and Hivos, as a funding program and as a platform for knowledge-sharing among artist initiatives in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Its aim was to support the growing number of artistic organizations providing alternatives to the oft-lacking or inflexible arts scenes in their local context, and to strengthen the South–South connections between these initiatives. Soon the Mondriaan Fund joined, supporting the exchange between Arts Collaboratory–linked organizations and the Dutch arts field. In 2013 the program of Arts Collaboratory was redesigned with a revised mission to promote sustainable, collaborative, and open visual arts practices that contribute to social innovation and emphasize building translocal communities among participants. From here, twenty-three participating organizations were selected by the funders to constitute the core of the community. To better facilitate the knowledge-sharing and relation-building process within the network, DOEN and Hivos initiated a collaboration with the arts organization Casco Art Institute in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
The phase following 2013 focused on building trust and sharing through face-to-face meetings in assemblies, "tents", and institutional residencies. These gatherings produce and develop collaborative projects between the participating organizations. From 2015 Banga meetings merged the previous tent and institutional residencies strategies as a method for organizational care, knowledge exchange and tooling. Following the 2015 Senegal Assembly, Arts Collaboratory members agreed to go further in their collaboration and develop a common vision, articulated in the Future Plan. The Future Plan was also used to negotiate self-governance and mutual accountability that values transparency around struggles and failures instead of dressed-up reports that satisfy trajectories of progress, selection, and evaluation. In light of the paradigm shifts, the position of DOEN, Hivos, and Casco were revisited. Both DOEN and Casco became members of the ecosystem. Hivos remains as an observer for the time being with potential interest in joining in the future. In this process, key areas of enquiry are the rethinking of funding models; methodologies of working with art locally and transnationally while unlearning the current modalities of working; and, most importantly, devising a self-sustainable and open system of translocal collectivity.

Q: Best way to execute an huge query Let me share a very simple question for you. Imagine this situation.
Table 1: pk1, field11, field12,field13,field14
Table 2: pk2,field21, field2,field23,field24
Table 3: pk3, field31,field32,field33,field34
and this relationship:
field11 = pk2
field24=pk3
And we need: field11, field12, field, 23,field24, field 31,field34
In this 3 tables can be 1 million of nodes in each one.
I was thinking about to solve it with 2 inner join but maybe any other solution for this kind of huge query?
Regards,
Jose

A: Even if you torture your query by a contorted code, the fact that a query is translated in an algebraic formulae will produce the same execution plan because the mathematical simplification process will ends up to the same mathematical expression (the optimizer do the job for you).
So, do not torture your mind, simplify your life, and write simple queries without thinking what is expected to be the best !

Slow down—don't turn off the heat just yet. Check back in a month; we'll be ready then, I'll bet.
The grass isn't ready and the leaves aren't so bright. The trails are still perfect and the rivers are all right.
Just one more hike without wearing a coat; three more trail rides and a dozen-mile float.
A nice warm spell and a few sunlit days—if it keeps the cold away, we can handle the haze.
Throw in a late-summer sunset and one big full moon. It's not quite time, though it will be soon.
We still want our seasons, and of course need the snow. But we're having too much fun to just let summer go.
Then again, we can't skip autumn—the crisp mornings feel right. And if it snowed in the mountains, we wouldn't put up a fight.
I suppose a bit of color would please the eye, and some frost on the grass left from last night's sky.
The shorter days give us less time to play; but even fun gets old when you do it every day.
There's nothing we can do to stop it at all. I guess we're stuck with it—bring on the fall.


This, after more than two decades of research failed to establish that the same benefits accrue to the recipients of such help.
"This study offers a significant contribution to the research literature on the relationship between social environment and health, and specifically to our understanding of how giving assistance to others may offer health benefits to the giver by buffering the negative effects of stress," says principal investigator Michael J. Poulin, UB assistant professor of psychology.
Poulin, along with colleagues at Stony Brook University and Grand Valley State University, produced the study, "Giving to Others and the Association between Stress and Mortality," which was posted online on Jan. 17 by the American Journal of Public Health. The study also will be published in an upcoming print issue.
"As the title of our study indicates," Poulin explains, "we tested the hypothesis that providing help to others would predict a reduced association between stress and mortality for the helpers. Specifically, over the five years of the study, we found that when dealing with stressful situations, those who had helped others during the previous year were less likely to die than those who had not helped others," he says.
The study's 846 subjects, all from the Detroit area, completed baseline interviews that assessed stressful events they had experienced in the previous year and whether they had provided tangible assistance to friends or family members in the past year.
"When we adjusted for age, baseline health and functioning, and key psychosocial variables," Poulin says, "the Cox proportional hazard models (the most widely used method of survival analysis) for mortality revealed a significant interaction between helping behavior, stressful events, morbidity and mortality.
Poulin's co-authors are Stephanie L. Brown and Dylan M. Smith, associate professors of preventive medicine, Stony Brook University, and Amanda J. Dillard, assistant professor of psychology, Grand Valley State University.


Car history check provider Motorcheck.ie today announced the results of an in-depth study into the number of clocked cars in Ireland.
The study is the first of its kind to publish the top twenty makes and models of cars on the road that are potentially clocked. Given that thirty eight individual manufacturers were identified as having fallen victim to the fraud, it is clear that the vast majority of cars are susceptible to the practice and no individual brand is immune.
The study examined six thousand individual reports that were produced by Motorcheck.ie this year for private consumers.
Of the selection analysed, Motorcheck.ie found one thousand two hundred and twenty four vehicles (20%) were uncovered as having a discrepancy with the vehicles reported odometer reading.
The study found that cars registered new outside Ireland only had a slightly greater chance of returning an odometer discrepancy than those registered in Ireland. Of those linked to a UK registration plate 55% were returned with a warning whereas vehicles first registered in Ireland returned a mileage problem in 45% of cases.
Motorcheck.ie operates the Irish National Mileage Register (INMR) which currently holds in excess of 3.9 million odometer readings. For UK registered vehicles the service has access to a database of over 50 million records. Motorcheck.ie claims that the ongoing improvement in its detection rate is directly linked to the quantity and quality of readings compiled by its research team.
The Top 20 Makes & Models listed below was extrapolated from the Motorcheck.ie study where the affected vehicles are represented as a percentage of the total vehicles active on Irish roads.
An odometer discrepancy occurs on a Motorcheck.ie report when the documented mileage reading (current or historic) for a car conflicts with a previous reading(s) recorded by the Irish National Mileage Register (INMR). The INMR currently holds just under four million records, each of which are audited by the service and available to every Motorcheck.ie report requested.
In addition, Motorcheck.ie has access to over fifty million odometer readings in the UK that are consulted daily when verifying the history of an Irish car that has been imported from Britain.
New data released by Motorcheck.ie sees 400% surge in 'car clocking'.
Speaking ahead of RTE's 1 Buyer Beware programme on Wednesday the 18th at 8:30pm, Shane Teskey of Motorcheck.ie highlights the massive increase in car clocking (tampering with the mileage of a car).
"In the past 9 months the number of mileage discrepancies identified by the Motorcheck database has risen by 400% from March 2009 to today's date. We believe poor sales in the new car market as well as attractive second hand options from abroad have meant that the Irish motor industry is finding the current recession very difficult to survive. There is always going to be a degree of car clocking by unscrupulous sellers but the numbers for 2009 are just staggering and we fear that even some car dealers are now utilising this dangerous practice.
In the programme to be aired Wednesday the 18th at 8:30pm on RTE1 Shane Teskey helps journalist Philip Boucher Hayes of RTÉ's Investigative Unit find out the real story behind some cars that have recently appeared on the Irish market.
The real danger associated with a clocked car is not the modified odometer but the false impression a prospective buyer may have of the vehicles mechanical condition. Interfering with a vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) can lead to malfunctions with other vital safety equipment. Problems that the the new owner may not be aware of until it's too late and an accident is caused.
• Ensure that the vehicle has a fully documented service history. Phone the garage/s that stamped the book and verify the odometer recorded at the time the work was carried out.
• Ask for previous NCT records if available from the owner. The mileage reading taken at the test should be evident on the results.
• If the vehicle doesn't have a service history look around the interior. You'd be surprised at what you might find. Some service garages put stickers on the inside top right of the windscreen to indicate – "next service due at" – look for these stickers and call the garage detailed. If you find evidence that a sticker was previously there and has since been removed – be cautious!
• Check the badge in the rear windscreen for a dealer logo or sometimes you'll find out who has worked on the car by looking a the rear number plate. A lot of garages put 'Number plate surrounds' on the actual number plate to advertise their business. Any clues as to who's been maintaining the car are invaluable and need to be confirmed.
• High mileage generally leaves a number of physical indicators. Look for wear on the gear stick and steering wheel. Lower mileage cars (>50k) should have very little wear. On higher mileage vehicles you would expect to see a smoothing/shining effect on the plastic or leather due to usage. If the clock is the old style cylindrical shaped dials (Non-digital), make sure all of the numbers line up in a straight horizontal line. With clocked vehicles sometimes these dials go slightly off centre. For digital clocks a diagnostic check of the vehicle engine control unit (ECU) could indicate if the mileage has been reprogrammed (this is part of the Motorcheck pre-purchase inspection).
• Look for excessive wear on the carpets, mats and pedals. If there are new carpet mats look under the mats for wear on the original carpet. Under the bonnet – look for a "greasy" or "creamy like" substance under the water cap (this is the cover on the radiator / expansion bottle) could indicate that the head gasket is failing. This would be common on cars with high mileage.
Motorcheck's Irish National Mileage Register can be accessed by anyone carrying out a car history check on the revamped Motorcheck.ie website. The site now includes car history data for vehicles registered in the UK and Northern Ireland as well as Irish registered vehicles that have been previously imported from the UK thereby providing car buyers with comprehensive vehicle information from both sides of the Irish Sea.


Tractors are the employees of modern agriculture. These powerful and iconic machines, thanks to their legendary versatility, play a role in today's farms, from plowing to planting to grading and mowing. But what makes them tick? To find out, check out the main components of tractors.
The engine is the heart and soul of the tractor. When invented for the first time, tractors used steam engines that were unreliable, not to mention hazardous materials. However, since the 20th century, tractors have been using multiple-fuel internal combustion engines ranging from petroleum to ethanol and petrol. Most modern tractors are powered by diesel and biodiesel. These high-performance engines typically range between 18 and 575 horsepower so they have all the incredible power they need to handle any job in today's farms.
In agriculture, tractor services have grown dramatically over the past century thanks to their legendary strength and durability. Because of their simple yet hard design, they still use many older traders who provide manual transmission. Unfortunately, these older broadcasts are typically not synchronized, which means that the tractor must be stopped before the gearboxes change, which can be very uncomfortable. On the other hand, modern tractors use synchronized or continuously changing transmissions (CVTs), which not only allow better fuel efficiency, but also allow CVT to move in an unlimited number of efficient gears.
Today's tractors do not always fit the classic design with two large rear wheels and two smaller front wheels. Over time, different configurations have emerged that correspond to the environment in which they are used. For example, in wet or heavy areas, tractors typically use tracks such as "Caterpillar" or tanks, because they have excellent traction. Other modern tractors are four-wheel drive or classic (with two large, two small) or four large wheels.
Tractor engines emit powerful energy, but in order to be useful, performance must be utilized. This is one of the tractor's couplings. These are drawbar, fixed bracket or three-point strokes and quick strokes, which allow the engine to be transferred to the tractor or the tractor in general for rolled implements, and may include such plows, seeders, tillers, mowers and many more.

Plans for 50 new homes in small Somerset village near A303
The new homes will be just a quarter of a mile from the arterial road

Up to 50 new homes could soon be built in a small Somerset village just a short distance from the A303.
Glastonbury-based developer Galion has submitted plans for a new housing development on Broadway Hill in Horton, near Ilminster.
The new homes will be built at the western end of the small village, with the new homes being just over a quarter of a mile from the A303, just west of the Southfields roundabout.
South Somerset District Council is expected to make a decision on the plans later in the year.
The new homes will be built to the east of Horton Village Hall, on agricultural grazing land between Broadway Hill and Forest Mill Lane.
Access to the new development will be from Broadway Hill, with up to 161 car parking spaces being provided across the site.
Of the 50 homes planned for the site, 19 will be affordable - comprising 12 social rent properties and seven affordable homes to buy.
The site has not been allocated within the council's current Local Plan - but it was listed within the council's own Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) in 2018.
A spokesman for Weinerberger (representing the applicant) said: "The hedgerows around the site are to be protected from construction machinery and materials, with a protective fence being erected inside the hedge and the area between that fence and the hedge will be allowed to go undisturbed.
"There are no playing field or open spaces within the site although the majority of the properties have substantial private amenity space.

"However, the village has an active playing field committee and Galion will discuss what can be done to assist in the enhancement of existing facilities."
Avon and Somerset Constabulary has stated that the plans are "not acceptable in their current format", arguing the design of the proposed footpaths through the site could put the public at risk.
Katy Waterman, the force's designing out crime officer, stated: "Where segregated footpaths are unavoidable, designers should consider making the footpath a focus of the development and ensure they are as straight as possible, at least three metres wide to allow people to pass without infringing personal space (and to accommodate passing wheelchairs, pushchairs and cycles), and devoid of potential hiding places.
"Public open space should be designed with natural surveillance from surrounding properties with safe and accessible routes for users to come and go with clear boundaries between public and private space.

"Secure bicycle storage should be provided for each dwelling in a robust shed within the private rear gardens."
The council will make a ruling on the plans later in the year. It is not clear at this junction whether the application will be considered in public by the council's area west committee.

Geraldine Page Birthday, Date of Birth
Geraldine Sue Page (November 22, 1924 – June 13, 1987) was an American actress. She earned acclaim for her work on Broadway as well as in major Hollywood films and television productions, garnering an Oscar (from eight nominations), two Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes, one BAFTA Award, and four nominations for the Tony Award.
A native of Kirksville, Missouri, Page studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and with Uta Hagen and Lee Strasberg in New York City before being cast in her first credited part in the Western film Hondo (1953), which earned her her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She was subsequently blacklisted in Hollywood based on her association with Hagen and did not work in film for eight years. Page continued to appear in television and on stage and earned her first Tony Award nomination for her performance in Sweet Bird of Youth (1959–60), a role she reprised in the 1962 film adaptation, the latter of which earned her a Golden Globe Award.
She earned additional Academy Award nominations for her roles in You're a Big Boy Now (1966) and Pete 'n' Tillie (1972), followed by a Tony nomination for her performance in the stage production of Absurd Person Singular (1974–75). Other film appearances during this time included in the thrillers What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice? (1969) opposite Ruth Gordon, and The Beguiled (1971) opposite Clint Eastwood. In 1977, she provided the voice of Madam Medusa in Walt Disney's The Rescuers, followed by a role in Woody Allen's Interiors (1978), which earned her a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
After being inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1979 for her stage work, Page returned to Broadway with a lead role in Agnes of God (1982), earning her her third Tony Award nomination. Page was nominated for Academy Awards for her performances in The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) and The Trip to Bountiful (1985), the latter of which earned her the award for Academy Award for Best Actress. Page died in New York City 1987 in the midst of a Broadway run of Blithe Spirit, for which she earned her fourth Tony Award nomination.

On our cell phone's Kindle, we mostly keep books that we can open anywhere to get a chunk of insight during short periods that pepper our day, like waiting on line at the post office or riding the subway. Pema Chodron's When Things Fall Apart is a particularly potent one; recently we opened to this rich hunk. We were stunned at how perfect it is for this very unsettling time in our country when many people we know are casting about for paths of action, and how much it teaches on a purely personal level.
When we realize that the path is the goal, there's a sense of workability. Trungpa Rinpoche said, "Whatever occurs in the confused mind is regarded as the path. Everything is workable. It is a fearless proclamation, the lion's roar." Everything that occurs in our confused mind we can regard as the path. Everything is workable.
It is also an approach to learning/healing/growing out of our confused mind when we find we've made mistakes (which we do, a lot). Trungpa Rimpoche's words are at once gentle, fierce, forgiving.
Whatever occurs in the confused mind is regarded as the path. Everything is workable. It is a fearless proclamation, the lion's roar.

If you knew who Alfonzo McKinnie was before the start of Warriors' training camp, congratulations.
Or perhaps I should ask: what has happened in your life to make you watch that much G-League basketball?
Either way, there was no way you predicted the kind of impact McKinnie would make in his first season with the Warriors.
The Wisconsin-Green Bay product had a huge week for the Dubs — playing an average of 22 minutes over the last three contests, including nine points per game. He's not only solidified himself in the Warriors' rotation, he's become an impact player for them.
Will it continue?
Well, he's not going to shoot 60 percent from 3 for the rest of the season — not even Stephen Curry can do that.
But he can certainly hustle, rebound, and space the floor.
And that is more than enough to be a viable NBA contributor.

ScienceWe need a global geoengineering watchdog, researchers say
SCIENCE | August 14. 2013. 15:00
We need a global geoengineering watchdog, researchers say
A new international organisation will be needed to help nations manage geoengineering efforts, new research predicts, because trying to deliberately alter the planet's climate raises a raft of tricky issues.
Climate engineering (or geoengineering) technologies aim to manipulate the earth's climate, generally either by taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere or reflecting sunlight away from the earth.
Most of the technologies work in theory and some have been tested on a small scale. But at the moment, issues of cost, unforeseen consequences and politics mean geoengineering remains a largely untried area.
Nonetheless, the new study's authors from the Berlin Social Science Research Centre are convinced such climate engineering will play an important role in future efforts to address climate change. With that in mind, they're thinking about not just which technologies could work, but what systems of governance will be needed to make geoengineering happen.
Climate engineering paradox
The researchers concentrate on two technologies which they say could have a big impact on global temperatures, and which could be cheap enough for a single or small group of countries to implement: 'stratospheric particle injection' and 'marine cloud brightening'.
Stratospheric particle injection requires spraying tiny airborne particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the earth, and reduce warming. The system works by attaching a pipe to a balloon that is tethered to a boat, as the picture below shows. Not totally sci-fi, then, (although it would be the largest man-made structure in the world).
Source: Cambridge University, Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering press release
The second option is also relatively low-tech. Cloud brightening involves spraying sea water into clouds to scatter micro-droplets which reflect more sunlight, and reduce warming. The main piece of kit is a ship that can spray water high into the sky.
Both of these methods are relatively cheap – certainly within the range of governments to carry out. That makes them worth thinking about, the authors say. They also argue – perhaps because they would be relatively easy to implement – that these are the technologies most likely to meet political opposition.
Both techniques raise some tricky legal and political questions. The technologies need to be sited in international waters, which no one country has control over. That makes it harder for any nation take the leap to fund the research and construction and deploy the technologies, the researchers say. And the potential side-effects of the technologies are also still uncertain, meaning environmental campaigners and governments not involved in building the technologies may object to their use.
So even if the technologies work in a technical sense, there could be political obstacles to rolling them out on a large-scale.
International climate engineering agency
The researchers suggest the answer to these issues is to create a new international climate engineering agency. The agency's job would be to coordinate countries' efforts and manage research funding.
The researchers suggest the agency could put climate engineering regulations in place through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which currently oversees the Kyoto protocol and other international climate treaties. It also suggests the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – which is currently tasked with amalgamating climate science research – could help bring the best climate engineering research together, and the papers authors point out to us that the IPCC is expected to include a chapter on climate engineering in its upcoming Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
Some climate policy wonks may shudder at the thought of giving responsibility for geoengineering to either of these bodies. But creating a new institutional structure isn't easy. The UNFCCC has been criticised for being ineffective, and the IPCC has a narrow remit to synthesise climate science research.
But one of the paper's authors, Stefan Schäfer, argues that in the absence of any concrete guidance on climate engineering practices, this institutional setup is the most likely to work. He says:
"The triangular set up between UNFCCC, IPCC and climate engineering agency is intended to address the expected resistance to climate engineering by providing a governance structure that can deal with the many worrisome issues associated with this topic. Setting up such an agency from scratch would be difficult, but this would not necessarily have to be the case; it could also evolve from existing structures".
Setting up rules and regulations to guide government actions is always a tricky business. So when a new issue comes along, it's worth looking ahead.
This study considers future political obstacles now in the hope it will prevent climate engineering solutions being shot down before they've even got off the ground. Creating a new international agency could be one way to keep the plans alive.


Beside of bay window furniture, at first, you must know the sort of windows. The initial form is called double put windows. It's characterized by their two sashes which slip vertically up and down in the frame. It is exclusive, generally within the European homes because a lot of the European properties are accomplished by this excellent window. They really can open wide from either the utmost effective or the bottom but nonetheless stay in the frame. This unique screen design makes themselves do not protrude out to the interior and outer of the house. This style makes just the underside the main screen works while the top part however unchanged.
While for different kinds of screen, be sure to match the area decor with the measurement along with windows style. If your bay window furniture are large or large, do not exhibit a lot of material in your wall, because it'll properly produce your space looks packed and uncomfortable. Ensure that you just hung or present essential forms of material which do not cover within the sunlight brought by windows.
Another important facet of bay window furniture is really a wall color option, generally most of windows models may benefit several wall colors. Thanks for their simple window resources which will make sure they are simply mixed and matched to the absolute most space decoration. Products much used on windows commonly come from wooden resources or steels. While for cast sills may also be readily available for you nonetheless it isn't advised because this kind of cast sills are often damaged when the floor moves. It doesn't have expansion and insufficient aesthetic feature. This is exactly why wooden or material materials are good for a strong construction.
While for minimalist house bay window furniture can also be need to be considered. That typical screen can be simply mounted in most little or small rooms. It can be obtained both small and big measurement, even custom measurement can be obtained for you really to match your room. We know that contemporary house generally breaks the principle, more special of the design, indicates more modern. Therefore do not hesitate to utilize this type of bay window furniture if you want to try the newest thing.
To know more about bay window furniture let's take a look at our galleries to see the most effective window models and types. Hopefully why these photographs below can motivate you to have the most effective a few ideas to construct, renovate or remodeling your home.
The main element of bay window furniture is located in the word of design. How to create your room on the basis of the type of your window is actually needed seriously to consider. Each kind of window has the initial quality, this is exactly why you should address your room different than the others, and it should match your windows style.
