Going Back: What Started Coworking?
1. In 1995, the birth of hackerspace began which similarly resembles the notion of a coworking space.
2. In 1999, the term 'coworking' was said to be coined by an American game designer, Bernard DeKoven.
3. In 2002, Schraubenfabrik came into view and was named an entrepreneurial center. It has later expanded with two more branches in Vienna and was under the company Konnex Communities which was the first official local network of coworking spaces.
4. In 2005, the first official coworking space was born in San Francisco and was later replaced as Hat Factory in 2006.
5. In 2007, 'coworking' has trended in search queries among others on Google. In 2013, Wikipedia was officially a page.
6. In 2017, the growth of coworking spaces has continued vastly and remains unstoppable with a predicted number of 13,800 worldwide by October of this year.
Numerous coworking space in Manila has been trending for a while for their chic setups and cool facilities – promoting collaborative working between professionals and aspirants from different industries. With these particular spaces being filled with young innovators, the coworking scene remains unstoppable and yet, it is just beginning as more and more entrepreneurs are setting up coworking spaces to accommodate the younger generation who are aiming for success and fulfillment over their aspirations.
However, as the number grows, little is known about the coworking scene. Yes, one may know what it looks like and how it works, but only a few could tell from where it all started.
To save you time, here's a brief trip to the earlier days of coworking spaces.
In 1995, the birth of hackerspace began. With the founding of C-Base in Berlin, a space provided for hackers to pursue their computer-oriented undertakings, the trend of hacker-community spaces was introduced, hence, the hackerspace. Most likely, what happens in 'hackerspace' is that people who have the same interest in computers gather in an area to collaborate and work in an open environment. This notion particularly resembles the idea of a coworking space that we have today, hence, it was claimed by some as the origin of the said scene.
In 1999, the term 'coworking' was said to be coined by an American game designer, Bernard DeKoven. However, it was not what we thought it was. During that time, what DeKoven meant by coworking is: working together as equals. Back then, he was looking for a way to break down the common hierarchal boundaries that create a gap between people, and ultimately, promote collaborative work between people and computers.
At the same year, the opening of 42 West 24 happened. 42 West 24 is a workspace that is based in New York City. This space offered a great work environment with flexible membership options. However, it lacked emphasis on networking, unlike today, where one of the key elements of a coworking space is building wider networks. Regardless, it was still considered an achievement in the coworking scene and is still present in NYC until now.
In 2002, Schraubenfabrik came into view and was named an entrepreneurial center. It happened when two Austrian entrepreneurs looked for a space where they could gather like-minded people to work, and of course, collaborate. What they used as their space was a former factory, which became the home of various professionals – from freelancers, PR consultants, to start-ups. Today, Schraunbenfabrik and its extended spaces (Hutfabrik in 2004 and Rochuspark in 2007), operates under the company Konnex Communities, which actually became the first among the local networks of coworking spaces in Vienna, Austria.
Later in 2005, the first official coworking space was born in San Francisco. Who's the man? Brad Neuberg. Apparently, the idea of creating a coworking space was due to business centers becoming unsocial and the zero productivity rate at a home office. During that time, the space was hosted by a home for well-being called Spiral Muse, a non-profit co-op. The service was pretty good as there were five to eight desks offered two days a week, shared lunches, massage, meditation breaks, bike tours, and of course, free Wi-Fi. However, the space closes at 5:45 PM sharp, hence, it was not recommended to stay there for too long. After a year, the coworking space closed and was replaced by Hat Factory.
In 2007, 'coworking' has trended in search queries among others on Google. Hence, with its popularity, the idea of coworking has become an aspect of mainstream media in the United States. However, the term was restricted to the United States and can only be used within the state.
Not long after, slightly in 2013, coworking has made its way onto the English version of Wikipedia – and from there, the coworking scene continued to rise and spread around the globe.
In 2017, the growth of coworking spaces has continued vastly and remained unstoppable. According to the 2017 Global Coworking Survey, the estimated or predicted figures has summed up to 13,800 coworking spaces worldwide. That's an additional 2,500 to the 2016's 11,300. Furthermore, the expected number of members for 2017 has summed up to 1,180,000, which was only 835,000 in the 2016 stats. With all these numbers continuously flowing, the coworking space scene may be in it for the long run.
Given these points, coworking spaces are indeed created to be a place for collaborative work and learning regardless of the differences in nature and expertise among people – and continues to aim for the same, even today.


Be sure to supply water for the birds. There are heaters and solar sippers available to keep water open in the winter.
Seeds are plentiful in the fall but insect eaters can suffer. Put out suet along with birdseed. Suet cake in a suet cage is an easy way to supply food for insect eating birds like wrens and titmice. Very few birds, if any, eat millet. Look for good quality seed that contains little or none of this filler.
Clean out birdhouses but put them back up. Small birds especially will huddle together in a house to keep warm. Consider putting up small houses high under the roofs of your porches so birds have a protected area to keep warm.
Add evergreen trees and shrubs to your landscape. Not only do they add to the winter garden scene, they provide a safe place for birds to roost.
Clean plant material out of the vegetable patch. If insects or disease infected your vegetables, then do not compost them unless you are sure your compost will reach at least 150º Fahrenheit. Temperatures this high are very difficult to attain in home compost systems so it is better to trash any infected material. Don't take the chance of re-infecting your garden with contaminated compost.
Dig up the vegetable garden to bring any over-wintering insects to the surface, where the cold and/or birds can finish them off.
Spread compost on your vegetable or flower gardens during any mild winter days. You can dig it in before you plant in the spring.
If your ground isn't frozen, you still have time to plant bulbs. Tulips and daffodils are the most popular bulbs to go in this time of year. Consider planting lily bulbs. They are an easy and spectacular perennial. You can use them in your flower borders or in pots. The white lilies shown here are Casa Blanca lilies. Those flowers are coming from one mature bulb.
Chores in the garden have lessened considerably. Now is a good time to settle back with a good gardening book. Gather your books in November. May isn't far behind.

Q: Inquiry on the Chebyshev $\theta$ function Let
$$\theta(x)=\sum_{p\leq x} \log p$$ be the Chebyshev function over primes $p$.
Computational evidence seems to suggest that $\theta(x) < x$ for every sufficiently large $x$.
But is it true ?

A: No. Littlewood proved that $\theta(x) > x + c \sqrt{x} \log \log \log x$ holds for infinitely many integers $x$, for some $c > 0$. Cf the answer to this Mathoverflow question, noting that $\theta(x) = \psi(x) + O(\sqrt{x})$.

A: In an answer to this question someone speculates that the first time this happens is "basically around the Skewes number  $1.4 \times 10^{316}.$"

Time: 7:31, first quarter
Field position: second-and -7 on the Syracuse 28
On Syracuse's second offensive snap of the game, quarterback Eric Dungey tried to test Alston. Dungey lofted up a jump ball down the N.C. State sideline for receiver Devin C. Butler. Alston, who started the game but split snaps with cornerback Mike Stevens, out-jumped Butler for the ball at the N.C. State 43-yard line.

N.C. State's offense extended its lead to 6-0, after a 48-yard field goal by Carson Wise, on the ensuing drive.
Alston's interception was the only turnover in the game. N.C. State hasn't turned the ball over since fumbling twice in the South Carolina game and is now an ACC-best plus-6 on the season.
2. Kentavius Street's fourth-down stop
Score: N.C. State, 19-7
Time: 7:47, second quarter
Field position: fourth-and-1 on the N.C. State 17
Dungey moved Syracuse inside the Wolfpack 20 and could have tightened the game up earlier with a touchdown on this drive. The play was designed for Dungey to run right, and follow lead blocker Chris Elmore, a 280-pound tight end. Syracuse left tackle Cody Conway didn't even block defensive end Kentavius Street, by design.
So when Dungey, who finished the game as Syracuse's leading rusher with 44 yards, decided to cut back to the left, Street was waiting for him. Defensive tackle B.J. Hill came in with the second hit and made sure Dungey didn't pick up the first down.

3. Devin M. Butler's costly penalty
Field position: third-and-8 on the N.C. State 32
Another missed chance by Syracuse to make this a tighter game in the first half.
Cornerback Scoop Bradshaw, who played well for the Orange defense, jumped a comeback route to N.C. State Stephen Louis. The interception would have given Syracuse the ball at the plus-38 yard line.
Instead, cornerback Devin M. Butler had tackled receiver C.J. Riley in the slot and was flagged for a defensive holding penalty. The interception was wiped out – the second week in a row Ryan Finley's interception-less streak has been saved by a penalty – and six plays later, Samuels ran for a 16-yard touchdown.
Finley hasn't thrown an interception since the Miami game last November. Officially, he has not thrown an interception in 257 pass attempts.
4. Ryan Finley's third-down run
Score: N.C. State, 26-17
Time: 13:00, fourth quarter
Field position: third-and-9 on the 50
With a chance to give the ball back to Dungey, who finished the game with 398 passing yards, Syracuse defensive end Kingsley Jonathan got pressure on Finley. The N.C. State quarterback stepped up in the pocket and then took off. Out in the open field, Finley looked for the marker and dove for it, past linebacker Zaire Franklin, for the first down. Five plays later, Hines scored a 1-yard touchdown to provide the winning margin.

5. Finley's fourth-down run
Time: 2:57, fourth quarter
Field position: fourth-and-1 on the Syracuse 37
For the second game in a row, N.C. State's offense had the ball and needed only a first down to put the game away. Finley picked up 9 yards on a quarterback keep on second down. Samuels looked like he had enough for the first down on a third-down run but was marked short by the officials.
On fourth down, Finley was able to sneak between center Garrett Bradbury and right guard Tony Adams for 2 yards. Syracuse was out of timeouts and N.C. State bled out the clock for the win.

A Taxonomy of David Bowie's Many Personas and Their Many Imitators
By Chris O'Leary
Ziggy Stardust. Photo: Ray Stevenson/Rex/Shutterstock
It doesn't take a rock expert to know that David Bowie's musical influence has cast a large shadow ever since he broke out as a quasi-alien pop star with his 1972 classic The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. But one could have never heard a note of Bowie's music (including his new album) and still be wowed by the extent to which the man's various guises have, as you can see here, inspired a multitude of artists. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Bowie should be blushing.
Bowie's album Blackstar is out January 8.
Starry-Eyed Folkie (ca. 1969)

"Lucifer," Sandman
Neil Gaiman's 1989 comic finds Lucifer abandoning Hell. The character's look was based on "young, folksinger-period Bowie," Gaiman told the Chicago Tribune. "I imagined Lucifer as a junkie angel, and young Bowie was the closest we got."
Ziggy Stardust (ca. 1972)

Photo: Patrick McMullan
The late Stone Temple Pilots singer aped Bowie throughout his career, but the most blatant channeling was when he showed up as a faux Bowie for an all-star tribute to the Beatles at the 2005 Grammy Awards.
The singer for art-pop band Japan was a walking Ziggy revival.
Jagger, as ever keeping an eye on the competition, took cues from Bowie for the Rolling Stones' 1973 tour, sporting glitter, makeup, and spangly bodysuits.
Jobriath
Jobriath (born Bruce Wayne Campbell) was an American who, in 1973, took the idea of Ziggy to its extreme, wearing spacesuits, extravagant sweeps of eyeliner, and hair like a Brancusi sculpture.
Everyone in '70s and '80s goth rock group Bauhaus looked like Bowiespawn, but none more than singer Murphy.
Mike Score
A Flock of Seagulls member Score's most notable haircut, the flapping "winged" look, began as an attempt to shape his coif like Ziggy.
Aladdin Sane (ca. 1973)

"Brian Slade," Velvet Goldmine
Todd Haynes's 1998 cinematic glam homage featured Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Bowie analogue Slade, with Haynes's costume designer Sandy Powell raiding the exotic Aladdin Sane period for ideas, kitting up Slade in platform boots and glitter suits.
"The Music Master," Idoru
The "Music Master," a virtual-reality tutor in William Gibson's 1997 sci-fi novel, is a thinly veiled Bowie, complete with "a penchant for long, flowing coats" and allusions to having two different-colored irises (like D.B.).
Gaga has pillaged Bowie's style throughout her career, but the most obvious homage was the cover image for her single "Applause" in 2013.
Diamond Dogs (ca. 1974)

Richard Butler
Bowie, meeting the Psychedelic Furs singer Butler in 1983 and noticing his suit, reportedly said, "Didn't I wear that on my Diamond Dogs tour?"
In Eurythmics' 1983 "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" video, singer Lennox deftly displayed a Diamond Dogs–y carrottop hairdo.
David Werner
A now-obscure American rocker who pilfered freely from mid-'70s Bowie. See especially the covers of his Whizz Kid and Imagination Quota albums.
Plastic Soul Man (ca. 1975)

Numan, who scored with the single "Cars," dressed like the machine men Bowie sang about. In 1979, Bowie cracked about Numan in the press: "To be honest, I never meant for cloning to be a part of the '80s."

The Duran Duran keyboardist's early-'80s look was the most Bowie-influenced of the band (quite an achievement), particularly with his ever-changing fluorescent hair colors.
Annie Clark said that dying her hair in 2014 was a partial homage to Young Americans–era Bowie.
Thin White Duke (ca. 1976)

"Albert Wesker"
The Resident Evil video games, which launched in 1996, featured the skeletal Bowie-esque villain Wesker.

Keanan Duffty's "Bowie" line
Designer Duffty offered a limited-edition men's collection for Target in fall 2007, creating, among other items, a tuxedo and vest in homage to the Thin White Duke.

"Lucifer," The Wicked + the Divine
This female reincarnation of the fallen angel was the breakout star of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's 2014 comic-book series.
Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who
The doctor's 2014–15 costume (white shirt, black suit) took cues from Bowie's latter-'70s outfits, reportedly per Capaldi's suggestions.
The Berliner (ca. 1977–80)
Brett Anderson
The louche front man of early-'90s Britpop band Suede was a dead ringer for Bowie during the latter's relatively subdued Berlin period.
Swinton has resembled Bowie so often that there's a Tumblr dedicated to the idea that she and Bowie are the same person. A W magazine shoot, in which she resembled Bowie's '77 incarnation, makes a compelling argument.
Iselin Steiro
This Norwegian model dressed as Bowie incarnations for a David Sims Paris Vogue spread in 2010, then appeared in the video for Bowie's 2013 single "Stars (Are Out Tonight)."
"David," Prometheus
For the Teutonic look of his character in this 2012 Alien spinoff, Michael Fassbender said, "I looked for inspiration in David Bowie and Greg Louganis."

A Taxonomy of David Bowie's Many Imitators


RICHMOND, Ind. – Andrew Kroft missed a few layups in the fourth quarter that could've extended Richmond's lead over Marion Friday.
Rather than getting down on himself, a few plays later, he slammed down a dunk that all but sealed Richmond's 76-66 win over 3A No. 15-ranked Marion.
"Drew missed the layup where it would've put us up maybe 9, and (we missed some) one-and-ones," head coach Shabaz Khaliq said. "But you go back to the guys that could've had those plays. Drew could've got discouraged, he didn't, ended up getting the dunk."
Older brother Lucas had a dunk earlier in the game that brought the crowd to its feet, too. And while his shooting percentage has been a topic of conversation since he debuted as a Red Devil, he keeps playing his game with confidence.
After transferring from Fort Wayne North, the Krofts haven't been in Richmond very long, but they've learned quickly just how important Friday's game was – and they played like it.
Marion, traditionally one of the most successful teams in the state, was a preseason favorite in the NCC, while the Red Devils are still learning their new identity as they adjust to a new head coach, and four new transfers.
For the Krofts, it's adjusting to a new life and new roles.
With Richmond coming off three straight losing seasons, the Krofts come to Richmond with unexpected expectations. Lucas is already a Division I commit, having committed to Ball State University just a few days after learning he was moving to Richmond, while Andrew has played like a top prospect, too, with his all-around game leading the Red Devils on Friday.
But there's a side to their story beyond basketball: When their father got a job in the area, moving to Richmond meant leaving behind their home, and their friends.
Lucas was Richmond's top scorer Friday night, with 27 points, while Andrew added 19 points eight rebounds, six assists and four steals.
Jalen Hillard added 12 points, Koream Jett had nine, Jordan Frye seven and Marquez Thomas two.
Lucas kept his perfect free-throw percentage intact, and is now 17-for-17 on the season, while shooting 53 percent from the field (9-for-17) and 40 percent from the 3-point line (2-for-5).
He also had seven rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots, while Jett had four rebounds, four assists and two steals, and Frye had three rebounds and a pair of blocks.
Andrew's dunk came at a key time. Richmond took a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, but Marion was clawing back from a 10-point deficit. Richmond missed several layups, and free-throws, and Marion responded with 3-pointers, more often from one of the state's leading scorers in sophomore Jalen Blackmon, who had 28 points.
Richmond is 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the NCC following an impressive victory over Marion, but the Red Devils understand there's plenty of season to play.
The Krofts had impressive performances in a win to remember. But what made it so special was how it happened.

One of the things that can separate a good how-to story from a great one is the difference between telling someone (the writer and the audience) how to do something and showing a person how to do it.
Bernie Schultz explains a technique to an audience.
We all learn more and better from a good demonstration, and that includes outdoor writers and communicators. If you have a special technique you want to share, be sure to show it and not just tell it.
Your job as a pro staff angler is very simple: sell product. If you are not helping your sponsor sell product, you are not doing your job. Winning tournaments, getting media exposure and being a traveling billboard are all part of the game, and sometimes they make a difference to the bottom line, but nothing can replace a solid demonstration of a product or technique. Whenever you have a chance to do a meaningful demonstration, take it.
Why? Because it will mean more to your audience. It will make a greater impression. It will sell product.
If your demonstration uses small, relatively inexpensive items (like fishing lures), make sure that you carry plenty of samples around as demo kits. If your sponsor is smart (and not exceptionally cheap), they'll be happy to give them to you. They're inexpensive props and tools that will help to sell product.
And if your sponsor is too cheap or too dumb to create these demo/media kits, do it yourself. Nothing sells like a story told well, and nothing tells a story like a real demonstration.
So when do you offer your demo? Whenever you have the chance!
You certainly want to do the demo when you're being interviewed by a media person, but what about when you're onstage at a tournament weigh-in and you've just had an absolutely stellar day (don't do it when you're mediocre or worse)? That's the perfect time to tell and teach the audience about a method and a sponsor's product.
Get the message out there. Make some sales. Don't just tell … show!
Make sure media and fans are actually learning by showing them what to do and how to do it.
Create a media kit for key baits and techniques.


Thanks to everyone who braved the weather on Saturday to take part in Vancouver Draw Down!
Our event was called Time/Line, and through various drawing activities, participants explored the question, "Can time be drawn?" This theme ties into our current exhibition, Timescapes, which features artwork by young people exploring natural indicators of time.
There were several time-based drawing experiments throughout the ArtStarts Gallery.
On the front window of the gallery, people were asked "How old are you in tree?" They then drew a ring for each year of their life, to mimic how a tree records the passage of time as it grows.
In "Draw O''Clock", visitors thought about what they did at a particular hour of the day, then drew their answers on a collaborative piece shaped like a giant clock.
"Scribbling Machines" were fun little robots that drew marks while they moved about. From three-legged motor-controlled pen creatures to a slow, but hard working wind-up turtle dragging a pen, each scribbling machine had it's own personality and drawing style.
Upstairs in the Lab, visitors had fun "Drawing with Light". Armed with various coloured flashlights and glow sticks, people drew in the air while the lights were turned off in the room. A long-exposure camera caught the fabulous results of 15 creative seconds in the dark.
Visit VancouverDrawDown.com to check out other creative events that took place across the city.

B.C. begins reopening plan as COVID-19 risk drops to lowest point since March
Justine Hunter and Mike Hager
Victoria and Vancouver
This article was published more than 6 months ago. Some information in it may no longer be current.
B.C. restaurants, pubs, hair salons – Frank's Barbershop owner Rosanna Petan seen here with Jack Willis in Vancouver on May 19, 2020 – and schools begin to reopen their doors.
DARRYL DYCK/The Canadian Press
British Columbia's reopening begins this week, and with the easing of pandemic restrictions comes new expectations for residents and businesses to comply with myriad safety measures.
Restaurant operators are being asked to collect contact information from patrons, magazine racks will disappear from waiting rooms, elevator access will be curtailed, plexiglass barriers will separate workspaces, and customers can expect to be turned away if they have a sniffle or cough.
The changes are being made as the B.C. Centre for Disease Control declares the risk of COVID-19 in the province to be the lowest it has been since early March.
The province's rate of new cases – just two were reported on Tuesday – and the number of people dying from COVID-19 have flattened. And for weeks now, B.C. has been able to trace the source of almost every new COVID-19 case – a critical development as restaurants, pubs, hair salons and schools begin to reopen their doors.
British Columbia's shutdown was less rigid than some other provinces. It did not shut down construction and many retail stores were permitted to stay open, while the children of essential services workers could still attend school. But the first stage of the restart plan has put the onus on businesses and facilities, such as gyms, to devise plans to meet new safety orders from the Provincial Health Officer.
For many smaller restaurants, the layout or overall size just don't make economic sense, given the physical-distancing rules.
Edward Geekiyanage said his Pink Peppercorn Seafood House in East Vancouver could realistically hold four tables if it had opened Tuesday, when the new rules took effect. As long as different guests must dine at least two metres apart, he will not be reopening his 75-seat restaurant on the busy Kingsway thoroughfare. Instead, he will continue to cook, package and sell take-out lunch and dinner options with the help of his wife and two children.
"My kids are so good," said Mr. Geekiyanage, a long-time restaurateur who had to lay off eight staff members in mid-March. "Because I'm the person who pays for their tuition fees and everything, so [they see] daddy is in trouble and they come and help me out."
Ian Tostenson, president and chief executive of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association, estimates about 10 per cent of all restaurants opened for dining-in on Tuesday. He predicted that just 60 per cent of all establishments would open up by the end of the month.

Self-screening is a critical piece of B.C.'s reopening plan. Individuals are required to stay home if they develop symptoms of a cold, flu or COVID-19 – or if they live with someone who is confirmed or suspected of COVID-19. While schools reopen on a voluntary basis in June, students will be sent home if they appear to be ill.
In a novel new measure, operators of restaurants, cafés and bars are expected to collect contact information for one member of every party of patrons for 30 days, in the event there is a need for contact tracing by public health officials. Anyone who is contacted by their regional health authority's public health team because they have been in contact with a confirmed case – meaning they have been or could have been exposed to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 – are required to self-isolate.
Bonnie Henry, B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer, said the provincial workers' safety watchdog, as well as local health authorities, have the ability to investigate customer or employee complaints about a business not following the "practical, sensible and safe" guidelines aimed at stopping another wave of infections.
"Our first line of action is not to fine people or shut them down, it is to ensure that they are taking the necessary actions that we need to keep people safe," Dr. Henry said Tuesday at her daily briefing. "It's not something we've done before, so we need to make sure everyone is being thoughtful about it."
The province expects to move to the next phase of reopening, including fewer restrictions for domestic travel, in the summer, if the rate of transmission remains low.
Still, health officials are cautiously optimistic about B.C.'s progress against the disease.
Since the province recorded its first COVID-19 case in January, the BCCDC has tracked the majority of cases to either international travel or to community cases and clusters where the point of transmission is known. That information allows health officials to respond to exposures quickly to control outbreaks.
"At this point, we're in a very reassuring place. We have a high level of control of transmission in British Columbia," said Reka Gustafson, Deputy Provincial Health Officer and vice-president for public health at the Provincial Health Services Authority.
"The risk is about as low as it can get in British Columbia right now."
Globe health columnist André Picard examines the complex issues around reopening schools and businesses after the coronavirus lockdown. He says whatever happens as provinces reopen, there's also a second wave of COVID-19 illnesses looming in the fall. André was talking via Instagram Live with The Globe's Madeleine White.

European lawmakers are undertaking important steps towards the harmonization, unification, and possible codification of some areas of European private law. In doing so they can choose to craft laws with different levels of detail to guide judges in their decision-making process, incorporating rules or standards into the laws they write. The optimal degree of specificity of legal rules under different environmental conditions and the functionality of these rules or standards are the subject of the present study. First, a basic model of optimal specificity of laws is presented, clarifying the relevance of legal obsolescence and volume of litigation in the optimal choice. We further consider the important influence of codification style, judges' specialization, and complexity of reality on the optimal choice of legislative instrument. The results shed some light on the historical patterns of legislation in various areas of the law, and provide some policy recommendations for the ongoing process of codification in the European context.

A football coach from south London has spoken of his shock that a boy he mentored has gone to Syria to join Islamic State.
The young footballer, Fabio Pocas, was one of five Portuguese men who apparently adopted extremist views after arriving in east London.
Ewemade Orobator, of UK Foortball Finder FC, remembers him as a talented striker who joined the team two years ago.
BBC London's Katharine Carpenter also spoke to Jonathan Russell, of the Quilliam Foundation and Hugo Franco, Expresso journalist.

CSM Commemorates 22nd Winter Commencement During Virtual Graduation Ceremony and Watch Party
January 15, 2021 Angela Small Academics, All News, Continuing Education, Faculty, Foundation, Graduation, Partnerships, Staff, Students 0
The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) celebrated 754 candidates for 403 degrees and 500 certificates during its 22nd Winter Commencement ceremony Jan. 15, 2021 via Facebook Live.
Of the students celebrated during the online ceremony, 306 are from Charles County, 229 are from St. Mary's County, 167 are from Calvert County and 52 are from outside of the region. Twenty percent of the associate degree candidates graduated with honors. Sixty-five percent of the graduates are women and 35 percent are men.
The majority of degrees, or 26.6 percent, were in the field of arts and sciences, nursing (11.7 percent), criminal justice (7.2 percent) and business administration (6.9 percent). General study transfers, accounting, business management and cybersecurity were the primary certificates awarded. The oldest graduate is 63 years young and the youngest graduate is 18 years old.
The virtual ceremony drew more than 1,400 viewers. The annual tradition was marked with themes of perseverance, survival and resiliency – as students were recognized for succeeding despite the challenges of the global pandemic and a charged environment surrounding race relations and politics.
CSM student Domonique Rinaldi kicked off the event with a beautiful and riveting rendition of the national anthem followed by speeches, graduate photos and quotes, and a web page filled with well-wishes from local, regional and state politicians — including Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan.
"It is with great pleasure that I congratulate the College of Southern Maryland's graduating Winter Class of 2021!" the governor offered. "I am delighted to contribute on this joyous occasion. In a year that has been so challenging for students, your graduation is a testament to your remarkable perseverance and resilience. Each and every one of you worked hard and accomplished so much while making important sacrifices. Achieving this important milestone will open doors and allow you to pursue the dreams you've worked so hard to attain. We are very proud of you! I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating this great accomplishment and I wish you all the very best in your future endeavors."
In addition, Facebook viewers users left more than 411 comments and clicked their love, like and hug reaction buttons more than 150 times. Within an hour of the event, more than 1,117 people had interacted with the online ceremony.
'You are the Role Models'
CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy
"Students gathered here today at graduation navigated a global pandemic along with the rest of the world that turned our lives upside down," began CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy. "Many of us felt the impact the pandemic has had on mental health and finances. Members of our community experienced food and housing insecurity – perhaps for the first time. And students, amid all this, you dealt with an emotionally charged environment around race relations and politics. But you decided what success would like for you and you chose the College of Southern Maryland. For that, I thank you. You've worked hard and you've earned the right to feel pride in your successes.
"We've entered a new world, and I find hope for all of us … in you," Murphy continued. "You have proven you know how to overcome adversity. You are the role models for those who come after you. You have rewritten the story of success and you are now uniquely prepared to become the pioneers in our new post-pandemic world. I know you are ready. It is with great excitement that I will watch where you will take us."
Christine R. Wray, FACHE, president of MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center and MedStar St. Mary's Hospital ~ delivered the keynote speech at CSM's 2021 virtual Winter Commencement.
Plot Twist and Opportunities
The keynote address was delivered by Christine Wray, FACHE, president of MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center and MedStar St. Mary's Hospital. She also serves as a senior vice president for MedStar Health.
Explaining that she is a huge movie buff, she shared that she can't wait for the day she and her husband can settle into the local movie theater and enjoy a new plot twist.
"The COVID 19 pandemic has been a plot twist for all of us," Wray told the students. "Thankfully, the fact that you're joining us now means that you were able to view this crisis as an opportunity to innovate and adapt. So much has been asked of our teachers and students this year. It is amazing to see the ways in which you have all collaborated toward common goals and remained committed to your education.
"You don't have to have all the answers now," she added. "You simply have to be ready to work hard and be the hero of your own story. How do I know you can do it? Because I see it every day in the bright committed people who have graduated from CSM and come to work at our hospitals. Their work ethic and willingness to go the extra mile for our patients is a testament to the skills and values instilled in you by your own families and experiences, and by your professors, fellow students and your college programs."
Wray acknowledged that obstacles in lives are unavoidable, but she hoped the graduates could "keep finding a way to turn a plot twist like COVID-19 into an opportunity to grow and touch the lives of others."
'You've Taught Me to Persevere'
Recalling that her two years at CSM flew by "in the blink of an eye," student speaker Joan Popoola shared how her time at the college shaped and molded her; taught her to think critically as an engineer; and succeed, fail, and work as a team. And it taught her how to 'inspire and aspire' as a leader while keeping her faith foremost in all her actions.
Joan Popoola
"Most importantly," the Great Mills resident shared, "You – fellow CSM graduates – have taught me how to persevere."
Calling her attendance at CSM the best decision she ever made, she said her academic journey also taught her about service leadership.
"Attending CSM, I was able to join a few clubs such as the Engineering Club and the National Society of Black Engineers both of which work to help people in our community, whether it be mentoring girl and boy scout troops; giving coffee and doughnuts to first responders and police officers; or helping female students at CSM who don't know if engineering is the right field for them," she said. "Part of being empowered as a female engineer has been empowering other female students and letting them know how women and their unique strengths and perspectives are needed in the global engineering industry.
"I think my biggest takeaway from my time shared with you at CSM is that the myth that community colleges aren't as good as the bigger universities is false," she said. "CSM has an abundance of opportunities, but you have to be the one to take them."
'We are Proud of You'
CSM Vice President of Student Equity and Success Dr. Tracy Harris
Referring to the graduates as 'accomplished, survivors and completers,' CSM Vice President of Student Equity and Success Dr. Tracy Harris told the graduates he admired them for facing unrelenting challenges in both their personal and academic journeys over the last year.
"You may not understand completely – yet – what you've been through," he shared. "But we know what we witnessed of you. You were flexible, patient, resilient, and understanding that we all were adjusting to a new normal: Wearing masks, isolating and then only reuniting to small gatherings, and then Zooming, online proctoring, [having] study sessions on Microsoft Teams. Surviving unimaginable losses; but still making the grades.
"We are proud of you on this day because you forged ahead and got the job done," he said.
CSM Faculty Senate President Dr. Sarah E. Merranko
'Making a Difference'
CSM Professor of Communications and Faculty Senate President Dr. Sarah Merranko told the graduates to continue to be compassionate, caring, and contributors to the greater good.
"The world becomes a better place when we do good," said Merranko. "However, most people focus on individual success, rather than contributing to the greater good. Today you are graduating and going on to your next great adventures. Some of you will be continuing your education elsewhere, while others may be heading off into the workforce, or the military. The late President at Illinois Wesleyan University, Minor Myers Jr. said it best when he said, 'go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.'"
Oldest Graduate Finishes with Double Major
Jackie Curry
At 63, Waldorf resident Jackie Curry said she wasn't surprised she was the oldest graduate in her class, but she was a little surprised when she looked back to realize it took her 14 years to earn two degrees; one in Arts and Sciences and one in General Studies.
"When I turned 50, I decided to make a change after a career in mortgage banking," Curry said. "After taking some time off for myself, I took a job as a high school instructional assistant with Charles County Public Schools ~ with no experience at all ~ and I quickly realized I needed to catch up with what was being taught in the classrooms. Then I switched to middle school, and was put in an eighth-grade algebra class and had no idea what was going on, so I enrolled at CSM."
Plus, Curry said she wanted to get her degree because everyone else in her family had one. "And I helped every one of them [husband, daughter, son] get through school," she laughed. And like the majority of students enrolled at CSM, Curry could only attend college on a part-time basis as she balanced her job and her family.
"It's funny," she reflected. "I ended up having some of my students I taught in public schools, in my college classes over the years."
Curry said she had a 'thorough' experience at CSM and over the years discovered a new fondness for the knowledge she gained in her Irish Literature class and her all-time favorite class: The History of Rock and Roll.
"The things I've done since I started working in the public school system really helped me at CSM, and vice versa," she said. "And being a student at CSM helped me look at things from the students' perspective when I was teaching. Every professor and teacher I had at CSM was understanding and helpful. I had a really great experience. I am able to use what I learned in my own classroom. I loved every minute of my time at CSM."
'CSM: 110% Best Decision I've Ever Made'
Miranda Shipman, 18, of Charlotte Hall, earned the title of the Class of 2020's youngest graduate. Graduating early however, is not new for Shipman. She graduated early at the age of 17 from Chopticon High School, too.
Miranda Shipman
"I was already dual enrolled at CSM when I graduated from high school so I started going full time and taking eight classes a semester, including over the summer, and signed up for all the mini-sessions I could," Shipman explained. "I was determined to get it done in one year instead of two. And I did!"
Shipman is currently enrolled at George Mason University after transferring there over winter break with her associate's degree in Arts and Sciences. She continues her drive to succeed taking a full schedule of classes and working two jobs at two different law firms ~ in pursuit of her career in law.
"I had a wonderful experience at CSM," Shipman said, adding that CSM is a family affair. Her mom is currently enrolled in CSM's nursing program; her older sister attended; and her younger sister – currently attending Chopticon High School will be dual enrolling.
"My advisor [CSM Academic and Career Advisor] Martha Maratta helped me every step of the way and helped me plan every semester," Shipman continued. "I was working two jobs while attending CSM and it was tough, but CSM made it doable, affordable and worth every minute. I would recommend CSM over and over because I know that CSM was 110 percent the best decision I ever made."

Q: C# - First step with Amazon MWS I'm an Amazon FBA seller and I would like to begin to upload data regarding my sales in a more automated process using Amazon MWS. I just made an amazon MWS account and received my different IDs (Access Key Id, secret Access Key, ...).
I have the impression that most MWS developers use C#. I have a lot of Excel VBA experience but not in C#. Therefore, I'm not sure of the steps I have to follow.
On the webpage below, you can find a C# code that I would like to run:
http://www.samswiches.com/2011/02/how-to-use-amazon-mws-to-download-unshipped-order-reports/
Could you confirm the steps below are correct? :
1) Download Visual Studio => Do I need to download any extra package from Amazon?
2) In Visual Studio: File => New Project => C# console application
3) Erase all code and replace it by a copy-paste of the code found on above website => Do I need to put the code Inside something like "Sub - end Sub" in VBA?
4) Change "YourSecretKey", "YourSecretAccessKey", "YourSecretAccessKey",  "YourMerchantID",  "YourMarketplaceID" by my IDs.
5) Hit the run button
If it works, what will be the output like: An array inside Visual studio? A text file? A csv file? Where will it be stored?
I realize this is a very newbie question. However, I think that once I have a first code running correctly, my VBA experience will allow me to start efficiently from there.
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

A: After looking the code from http://www.samswiches.com/2011/02/how-to-use-amazon-mws-to-download-unshipped-order-reports/
I tried and changed something, and it works. Here is my solution:

*

*Download the C# MWS Reports API Client Library: https://developer.amazonservices.com/doc/bde/reports/v20090101/cSharp.html

*Use Visual Studio to create a project to get reports using MWS Reports API Client Library

Here is the code.
using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using MarketplaceWebService;
using MarketplaceWebService.Mock;
using MarketplaceWebService.Model;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;

public void testReport()
{
String accessKeyId = "Your Access Key ID";
String secretAccessKey = "Your Secret Access Key";
const string merchantId = "Merchant ID";
const string marketplaceId = "Marketplace ID";

MarketplaceWebServiceConfig config = new MarketplaceWebServiceConfig();
config.ServiceURL = "https://mws.amazonservices.com";
const string applicationName = "ApplicationName";
const string applicationVersion = "0.01";

MarketplaceWebServiceClient service =
        new MarketplaceWebServiceClient(
               accessKeyId,
               secretAccessKey,
               applicationName,
               applicationVersion,
               config);

RequestReportRequest reportRequestRequest = new RequestReportRequest();
reportRequestRequest.Merchant = merchantId;

// you can change ReportType here:
//http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_IN/reports/Reports_ReportType.html
reportRequestRequest.ReportType = "_GET_FLAT_FILE_ACTIONABLE_ORDER_DATA_";

 RequestReportResponse requestResponse = service.RequestReport(reportRequestRequest);
 IdList lstRequestID = new IdList();

 lstRequestID.Id.Add
      (requestResponse.RequestReportResult.ReportRequestInfo.ReportRequestId);

  GetReportRequestListRequest reportRequestListRequest = new
  GetReportRequestListRequest();
        reportRequestListRequest.Merchant = merchantId;
        reportRequestListRequest.ReportRequestIdList = lstRequestID;

        List<ReportRequestInfo> myListzz = new List<ReportRequestInfo>();

        GetReportRequestListResponse reportRequestListResponse = new
GetReportRequestListResponse();
        reportRequestListResponse =
service.GetReportRequestList(reportRequestListRequest);
        GetReportRequestListResult reportRequestListResult = new
GetReportRequestListResult();
        reportRequestListResult =
reportRequestListResponse.GetReportRequestListResult;
        myListzz = reportRequestListResult.ReportRequestInfo;

        if (myListzz.Count > 0)
        {
            while (myListzz[0].ReportProcessingStatus.ToString() != "_DONE_")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Waiting for Report");
                Thread.Sleep(61000);
                reportRequestListResponse =
                service.GetReportRequestList(reportRequestListRequest);
                reportRequestListResult =
                reportRequestListResponse.GetReportRequestListResult;
                myListzz = reportRequestListResult.ReportRequestInfo;
            }

            if (myListzz[0].GeneratedReportId !=null)
            {
                GetReportRequest reportRequest = new GetReportRequest();
                reportRequest.Merchant = merchantId;

                String source = "C:\\myreport.txt";
                reportRequest.ReportId = myListzz[0].GeneratedReportId;
                reportRequest.Report = File.Open(source, FileMode.Create,
                FileAccess.ReadWrite);
                service.GetReport(reportRequest);
            }
        }
  }

A: You are missing step 1b) Download the C# MWS Reports API Client Library. You may need other libraries to access other parts of the MWS API, but from a quick glance at that code above library is the main one.
Note that it refers to a lblStatus, which seems to be a label on a form, but nowhere in that post does it say anything else about that form. So step 2) probably is not a "console" style application, but a form based one, which also means, you shouldn't erase all code in step 3, but paste the code into whatever is the equivalent of a main() function (I've only ever used C and C++, but not C#, so I have no clue)


Look at us, getting everybody's approval. It's an illusion, this media we call "social". Look up and see, it's a world of confusion. It's a device of delusion to promote social seclusion.
We've changed the way we interact, we've changed the way we see how our grandparents socialise was never behind a screen.
Look at us, we've learned to live under people's approval and learned to suffocate by their disapproval. We've depend on the number of "likes" to control our happiness to feel accepted by society- we feel gifted.
We actually disconnect from reality and connect to the virtual world without the knowledge we're damaging our lives and our sense of self worth.
It is easy to achieve that virtual kind of beauty; we've been linked with apps to look like everybody. Have we forgotten how amazing we can be without concentrating on those measured assets to look like celebrities? When did we put social media as a priority rather than being with those who we used to be genuinely happy to meet?
We cannot aspire to look the same, talk the same and then have the audacity to body shame. I personally prefer 'different' because somewhere in that crowd- that 'different beauty' is loud; Louder than those dull colours that stereotypes talk about.
Where have the minds of the people gone? We've become slaves to our own invention~ money, social media- How did this go wrong?
From what I remember, cameras were invented to create memories, it wasn't meant for that perfect 'selfie'. Always look forward for a face- to- face conversation rather than looking down on your phone to tap to a wifi connection.
Flaunt your body or shallowness- portray talent or politics but I prefer having a glimpse of your personality on your feed- when I confirm your request. I'd rather "love" who you are than the person you're trying to be- to me that's pretty hilarious because you don't know what's it like to be free.
The world constantly feels pressured to look a particular way, they drop low on their self esteem to the point, they even throw their lives away? Be in control, make the most of your life- fall in love with your personality- that's my simple advice.
Be the master of your choices, experience a surreal living- be original, be yourself and turn a deaf ear to judgement.
Give life attention, create moments, fall in love, work on yourselves because the quality of life does not pop up and say "Storage Almost Full".
I really liked how you connect different aspects of our life with a single platform which was meant to socialize us but instead it was nothing but the virtual world to which we are connected and even to some extent made us introvert. So thanks for throwing light in this subject.
Well said, thank you so much Akash. Thank you for connecting with my writing.
Wow! This is beautifully crafted. God Bless You!
Social media is meant to be used only for promotion of useful stuff. But we are now so concerned about a fake reputation that is virtually built by the so called social media,we are missing out the real life fact that "This is all virtual". I request you guys to start small and quit social media.First step you can take is by turning down the notifications off for all social media apps.I have done it and it feels awesome.
I use facebook only for promotion of my website.And I would like to use your blog to promote my website as well .Do give it a look.
First of all dont be shocked because this comes to you from an aunt…But hey I'm not here to advice you but rather to congratulate you DEAREST MEL for the thoughts you shared.You wont imagine what an impact it would make on young parents like us.Raising up a 7 year old little girl I seriously understand the implications of the so called virtual world of technology!!! I for one would'nt want to raise my child as a robot .Lets all make time for singing a lullabye before they sleep,for reading fairy tales to them ,for nature walking with them,for grandma's tales,and definitely as you said for experiencing a surreal living- lets be original, be yourself and turn a deaf ear to judgement. helping them love themselves. Congrats Mel keep up the good work !!!!
Thank you so much Aunty Rani for always being such a huge support in everything I do. Means a lot to me. Thank you for giving my work a read and always being able to connect to my writing. 🙂 Have a great day!
Reading your posts makes me wonder about things which were confined within my subconscious being. It's like everytime I read your newest post, I feel "this is gonna be my favorite,".. but thanks for proving me wrong everytime by raising the standard of what you write and how you think. Somehow a part of me feels the pic you chose for this "login" post , differs from the message you want to send across but , right then the other part of me thinks it's ok enough to show that we humans are all about laptops and internet nowadays. I mean I feel the irony that we need to use the very "internet" & " Social media" to criticise it's overwhelming interference in our lives. But then putting it to good use is what it's all about ,ain't it? Ahem.. must be thinking where I'm going with all this..Doesn't matter sis.. Do keep posting … I love all of your posts.
Spot on! It's nice to see someone from Shillong to be writing on something that's been bothering me and many others too I'm sure. The misuse of social media in Shillong has grown rapidly without anyone noticing it and the sad part is that people are actually accepting it, saying its a lifestyle! So, thank you for the beautiful message. This is my first time reading a blog and how glad I am to have read yours. So thank you for the beautiful message. You are making a difference!

Beautifully written 🌸, Mel !
Technology has overtaken the very essence of human interaction/connections. Instead of meeting in person over a cup of coffee, we instead interact through texting back and forth and we lose the sense of connection. Its never as good as we interact face to face giving out each other's positive energy.
I know, an emoticon is cute, but it could never replace the ear-splitting grin and smiling eyes of our friends or loved ones.
I'm not here to say virtual connections are a waste , what trying to say is let's not rely fully on technology to do the connection for us.

Shiite Protesters Accuse Nigerian Police Of Firing On Them
lanrenews January 15, 2020
Police in the Nigerian capital Abuja fired live rounds to disperse protesters from a banned Shiite group on Tuesday, the demonstrators said, but police denied the claim.
It was the latest confrontation between a pro-Iran group, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), and security forces.
The Nigerian army killed 350 IMN Shiites, with many gunned down and burned alive according to rights groups, during a religious procession in northern Nigeria in December 2015.
Tuesday's protesters were demanding the release of their detained leader, Muslim cleric Ibrahim El Zakzaky, who is facing terror charges.
He and his wife have been held since the 2015 clash.
"Five people were shot, two of them are our members. I am trying to confirm their names," an IMN spokesman said.
"It is live bullets they shot. They come and shoot indiscriminately," he said.
"We are out to also protest against the recent statement by the Kaduna State governor that as far as he remains governor, Zakzaky will not be released.
"This coming from a governor is unacceptable because, what it means is that even if a court of competent jurisdiction frees him, he can stall the process."
Abuja police spokesman Anjugurl Manza denied the claim.
"There were no gunshots by the police. I don't know where you got your information from," he told AFP.
Founded by Zakzaky in the late 1970s and inspired by the Iranian Revolution, the IMN has been at loggerheads with the Nigerian authorities for decades.
In July the Nigerian government listed the IMN as a proscribed terror group, banning their activities, yet protests have continued.
Waves of clashes with security forces have claimed hundreds of lives.

Source: Henry Melton Is In Dallas This Morning; "Talks Are Heating Up"
Henry Melton is in Dallas today, now it's up to Jerry Jones to seal the deal.
By One.Cool.Customer@OCC44 Mar 16, 2014, 8:55am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Source: Henry Melton Is In Dallas This Morning; "Talks Are Heating Up"
Henry Melton made it to Dallas, where he'll visit with the #Cowboys this week. Was negotiating with #Seahawks last night, others in the mix
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 16, 2014
It briefly looked like the Seahawks had gotten Henry Melton to stay in Seattle last night following their contract negotiations with him.
But per Rapoport, Melton is following through on his plan to visit the Cowboys (probably on Monday), which likely means the Seahawks were unable to close the deal with Melton. To use a popular free agency euphemism, the Seahawks "let him leave the building without signing a contract", which now opens the door for the Cowboys to agree to a contract with Melton. However, such a contract is unlikely to come cheap, as both the Vikings and Seahawks likely remain in the mix for his services, and the Dallas Morning News is reporting that "talks are heating up with several teams". But given that Melton is still a relatively young at 27 years of age, the Cowboys may feel comfortable giving him a long-term contract.
In Dallas, Melton would be reunited with his former defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, and would be coming back to his hometown.
Melton must be considered to be at the very top of the Cowboys' admittedly slim list of free agency targets, despite the fact that he is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season. For the Cowboys, Melton would be a key piece in rebuilding their defensive line. In 2012, Pro Football Focus ranked Melton the fifth best pass-rushing defensive tackle and had him ranked number one in run stop percentage. He is easily the best remaining defensive tackle on the market.
Now it's time for Jerry Jones to fly him over AT&T Stadium in the Cowboys private jet, have him play Madden on the scoreboard at the stadium, give him a virtual tour of the new practice facilities, let him hold all five Lombardi Trophies - and to not let him leave the building without signing a contract.
.@HenMel did NOT 'finalize deal' w #Seahawks last nite. Is back in DFW. #Cowboys w tentative Mon/Tue visit plan. Other bidders, too
