Ben Chilwell set for move to London with Chelsea?
by Admin June 5, 2020 June 16, 2020
As one of the most exciting young teams in England, Chelsea have a core of players who could be with the club for a decade. Some positions, though, are less sound than others. A fine example of this would be when it comes to left-back. The full-back positions are mostly taken up by experienced players or rotation options who lack week to week consistency. That's why manager Frank Lampard seems set to make a move for Leicester full-back Ben Chilwell.
Chilwell, has been a star for Leicester for the last 18 months, but has exploded into a new level again after working with Brendan Rodgers. With a potential replacement already lined up in Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney, this could see the Blues grab a new young full-back to build around, and Leicester a fantastically committed talent replacing him.
The England international has been linked to several big clubs in the English top flight, but Chelsea are the one who seem to be most keen on a move. For Chilwell, the chance to move to a club playing in the UEFA Champions League on a regular basis could be appealing. While his current side might make the top table of Europe, it's not likely to be a long-term thing.
So, an exit from the Foxes might be a likely event come the summer. There has been talk of an exit for some time, and it looks like London might be his destination.

The first self-driving vehicle you see may have 18 wheels
News // Nation & World
Freightliner unveils its Inspiration self-driving truck during an event at the Hoover Dam Tuesday, May 5, 2015, near Boulder City, Nev.(AP Photo/John Locher)
LAS VEGAS >> Although much attention has been paid to autonomous vehicles being developed by Google and traditional car companies, one truck maker believes that automated tractor-trailers will be rolling along highways before self-driving cars are cruising around the suburbs.
On freeways, there are no intersections, no red lights, no pedestrians, making it a far less complex trip, said Wolfgang Bernhard, a management board member of Daimler AG, at a Tuesday event in Las Vegas.
Daimler Trucks North America showed off a self-driving big rig on the road atop Hoover Dam Tuesday night. But the company says the autonomous truck needs more testing before it is ready to hit the highway.
There are many advantages to autonomous big rigs, which use a combination of features that already are available on high-end passenger cars. A computer-controlled truck never gets drowsy. And eventually a fully autonomous rig could cut expensive driver costs for companies.
Still, there likely will always be a human behind the wheel, more as a logistics manager and to take over in an emergency.
Legal and philosophical questions stand in the way, as does perfecting the technology that links radar sensors and cameras to computers that can brake and accelerate the truck and handle any freeway situation.
Legal issues are among the biggest obstacles. Daimler Trucks North America LLC CEO Martin Daum said society might forgive a number of deaths caused by tired truck drivers at the wheel but they would never forgive a single fatal crash blamed on a fully automated big rig.
For now four states, including Nevada, and the District of Columbia, certify testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads as long as a human driver is behind the wheel, and a few others are keen on allowing the tests.
Bernhard said more states need to allow testing of autonomous driving before fleets of self-driving semi-trucks fill U.S. freeways and interstates anytime soon.
"Then it starts to make sense for our customers," Bernhard said, when states that allow it are linked together. "That will be the point when the tipping point is reached."
Bernhard said the company is still far from taking customer orders for the trucks. "We're just getting people inspired," he said.
The truck shown off Tuesday night is called "Inspiration," and Daum said it was a first step, much like landing on the moon.
Taking a line from astronaut Neil Armstrong, Bernhard told the crowd bused to the site from Las Vegas for the news conference that it was about to witness "a short drive for man and a long haul for mankind."
On Wednesday, the company planned test-drives with invited members of the media to show off the automated technology.

Home / News / Welcome of Executive Director
Welcome of Executive Director
Thank you for visiting our official website. Welcome to the Institute of Science, Trade & Technology (ISTT). I hope that you and your families are healthy and that you have been able to find new ways to appreciate and care for one another during this unprecedented time we are currently facing. In moments like these, I am reminded of the power and importance of the work our technical education that is engaged in to support learning in community organizations locally and around the country. In today's competitive and globalized world, having a technical education becomes an imperative for future success.
We, at ISTT, are committed to providing academic excellence in the fields of business, technology and diplomacy, textile, communication and computer sciences. Our faculty is a community of dedicated scholars and teachers whose research expands the boundaries of our knowledge and imagination, and whose teaching prepares students for wide-ranging careers and lifelong learning.
As COVID-19 continues spreading in many countries of the world, how to keep learning in disruption has become a major challenge to the global education community. Covid-19 has forced universities across the country to suspend physical classrooms and shift to online classes. ISTT is taking the lead so that the studies are not conceded, and students do not fall back on academics. We have decided to implement an online education system, taking the initiative to provide education with utmost sincerity to our students.
"Excellence is never an accident; it's always the result of high intention, sincere efforts, intelligent direction and skillful execution." I have always believed in these words of wisdom, now more than ever.
With the blessings of the Almighty, in His divine benevolence, I pray that ISTT continues to lead and guide our pupils to build the bridges of language, technology and culture that connect Bangladesh and the rest of the world, and to become leaders in global development! I am grateful for everyone's work thus far and look forward to building on our successes in subsequent years.

Q: How do I display an image in a Xamarin Forms ImageCell from an image source? I'm trying to display an image at the front of my image cell in Xamarin Form. Specifically I'm trying this in iOS at the moment and I have added an image to my iOS project's resource folder and have ensured that the image file is set to 'BundledResource. The image is not any particular size (it's quite large at the moment).
I'm creating all of my table cells via an MVVM approach so I have a factory that creates the cell as follows:
return new ImageCell() { ImageSource = "logo.png" };

I have hardcoded the image source or now as a local png image which is NOT 60x60 (does this matter?).
When displayed, no placeholder for the image, or the image itself appears. Do I need to set an additional flag somewhere to display it? There is no margin to display it in my table view.
EDIT: My image cell factory code looks like this:
public class ImageCellFactory : CellFactory<ImageCellViewModel>
{
    protected override Cell OnCreateCell(ImageCellViewModel model)
    {
        return new ImageCell();
    }

    protected override void OnSetBindings(Cell cell)
    {

        cell.SetBinding(TextCell.TextProperty, "Text");
        cell.SetBinding(TextCell.DetailProperty, "Detail");
        cell.SetBinding(ImageCell.ImageSourceProperty, new Binding("Icon", BindingMode.OneWay));
    }
}

I've tried directly setting the image source as per my previous code (thus removing the bindings and so on). I've tried with and without binding mode being set. I can see that the ImageSource is creating an instance of the FileImageSource and I've even set the icon to be 30x30 just in case that helps.
For the 'Icon' property of the view model I have tried ImageSource and just a straight string to invoke the standard converter.
Even with a direct TableView definition set up in Xaml with no funny business in the code-behind my images do not appear.
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" x:Class="TesterApp.CodedTableView">
<ContentPage.Content>
    <TableView>
        <TableSection>
            <ImageCell Text="My Logo" ImageSource="logo.jpg"/>
        </TableSection>
    </TableView>
</ContentPage.Content>

My logo is in the 'Resources' folder of my iOS application project And is set to a bundled resource. The above image source is the exact casing for the filename and extension.

On the move with: Avneet Soin, a medical student at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.
What inspired me to pursue a career in medicine: When I saw physicians taking an active role in shaping discussions on public health and health policy. The impact they had on individual lives in a clinical setting and on population health from a systemic lens was incredible. I wanted to be in that role one day to advocate for better care of minority populations in particular.
How I move medicine: I am working with the Boston Public Health Commission this summer to increase access to programs targeting housing instability, food insecurity, lack of health insurance and substance abuse. My hope is to use this experience to learn how to be a better advocate for the homeless population in the Boston area.
I'd also like to help remove some of the stigma within the medical world around this vulnerable group of patients. I am an active member of the AMA Medical Student Section and the Asian Pacific American Medical Students Association, where I look to move medicine through helping with policy development and creation through my time in medical school.
Career highlights: I have done a lot of work with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) population in the last few years. Those projects include researching cultural competency standards for South Asian patients, analyzing the public health needs of the Sikh-American population and working closely with a mental health campaign focused on young Asian-American women. I hope to continue learning and educating myself on how to be a strong voice for the AAPI community in medicine and public health.
Advice I'd give to those interested in pursuing a career in medicine: Although I am still early in my career, I have quickly seen the diversity of opportunity in medicine. For anyone considering a profession in this field, I would advise them to keep an open mind and think about how a career in medicine can also mean a career in policy, public health, law, research and so much more!
Aspect of my work that means the most: I've been extremely humbled by the amount of trust that patients put in us, even as a medical student. It is an honor and a privilege to be with people when they feel most vulnerable, and these moments are when I understand why being a physician is much more than just a job. It is the conversations I have and the connections I have made on an individual level that motivate me to keep working hard and to train to be the best physician I can.

ROME (Reuters) - Deaths from the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy climbed by 65 on Monday against 53 the day before, the Civil Protection Agency said, while the daily tally of new cases rose to 280 from 197 on Sunday.
The total death toll since the outbreak came to light on Feb. 21 now stands at 33,964, the agency said, the fourth highest in the world after those of the United States, Brazil and Britain.
The number of confirmed cases amounts to 235,278, the seventh highest global tally behind those of the United States, Russia, Brazil, Spain, Britain and India.
People registered as currently carrying the illness fell to 34,730 from 35,262 the day before.
The northern region of Lombardy, where the outbreak was first identified, remains by far the worst affected of Italy's 20 regions, accounting for 194 of the 280 new cases reported on Monday.
There were 283 people in intensive care on Monday, down from 287 on Sunday, maintaining a long-running decline. Of those originally infected, 166,584 were declared recovered against 165,837 a day earlier.
The agency said some 2.643 million people had been tested for the virus as of Monday against 2.627 million on Sunday, out of a population of around 60 million.

Flock pre-registration closing
by Paul W. Frields
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Pre-registration for the Flock conference (August 2-5 in Kraków) will close at 1700 UTC (1:00pm US-Eastern, 7:00pm Central Europe) on Wednesday, 2016-Jul-13. If you *are* pre-registered, and do not intend to come to Flock, please email <flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org> to notify the team. FAQ === Q: What does pre-registration cutoff mean? A: We will accept attendees for Flock even on the days of the conference without a registration. However, we need to set a cutoff point to calculate budget for swag, meals, etc. If you are not registered to attend Flock before Wednesday, we cannot guarantee meals, a T-shirt, or the ability to attend evening events. Q: Can I still attend Flock if I'm not pre-registered? A: Absolutely. Attendance is free and open even if you're not pre-registered. You may get, for example, a hand-printed badge, and you may not get swag. But you are still welcome to attend. Q: If I didn't pre-register, can I attend social events? A: The Flock team will try to accommodate everyone, and this has worked out in the past. However, because some social events are paid based on the number of pre-registrations, spots cannot be guaranteed for those who don't pre-register. Q: If I'm a speaker, should I be pre-registered? A: Yes, you should be, but *YOU* are responsible for pre-registering. Visit <https://register.flocktofedora.org> to pre-register before the deadline! A reminder is also going out to speakers via their mailing list. If you have other questions, email <flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org> and the friendly Flock staff will do their best to answer. - -- Paul W.

Archive for Richard Jewell
The Tragedy of the Great American Hero
Richard Jewell, 1962-2007
Five'll gitcha ten, you don't remember who this guy was. Heck, there are people who would really prefer that you forget him. He's an embarrassment, a reminder of their own failure and foolishness and hate.
And you might be wondering why the guy running the comic book blog is writing about a guy you've never heard of.
Let me refresh your memory.
In 1996, Atlanta was playing host to the Summer Olympics. Big money, big TV audience, big publicity. The U.S. picked up 101 medals. Muhammad Ali lit the torch in the opening ceremonies, and everyone thought that was pretty much awesome. Kerri Strug injured her ankle and still landed a near-perfect score on the vault. Kurt Angle, before he became a professional wrestler, won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling with a severely injured neck.
Richard Jewell was a nobody, overweight, unremarkable, unsuccessful, living with his mother. He got a job as a lowly security guard at Centennial Olympic Park during a concert on July 27. He noticed a stray knapsack lying under a bench, got suspicious, called it in, and started moving people away from the area. Three pipe bombs inside the knapsack exploded, killing one woman and injuring 111 people. A Turkish cameraman died of a heart attack while rushing to film the incident.
Jewell was hailed as a hero who certainly prevented the deaths of dozens of people. But after four days, the FBI decided he might be a suspect. They tipped off the media. And for the next several weeks, while the feds repeatedly searched his mother's house, many media companies all but declared him guilty of the bombing.
The FBI eventually had to announce that he wasn't a suspect, and the press slinked away, probably looking for some small cute animal they could stab. Jewell had gone from nobody to hero to villain… but instead of being hailed, again, as the hero of the Olympic Park bombing, he just went back to being a nobody. He had trouble getting jobs because many still believed he was the bomber. He got settlements from the New York Post and NBC, though the Atlanta Journal-Constitution fought his suit clear 'til his death.
Turns out the bomber was a psychotic "Christian Identity" terrorist named Eric Rudolph. Rudolph later bombed a lesbian bar and two abortion clinics, setting secondary bombs that would target police, fire, and emergency medical personnel. When the cops finally identified him, he went into hiding for over five years. When he was caught, he took a plea bargain solely to avoid the death penalty. He's expressed no regrets, and he sends out letters that are generally considered harassment against his victims and incitement for his supporters to commit more violence. He's scum, a racist, and a terrorist, and I'm thoroughly happy that he'll die in prison.
Last year, Georgia governor Sonny Perdue officially commended Jewell for his heroism. I gotta tell you, from what I've read, Perdue hasn't been the greatest governor around, but when I heard that he'd done that for Jewell, my admiration for him jumped sky-high. He got the chance to take a guy who's been dumped on by life, despite the good he'd done, he brought him back before the public, and said, "This guy's a hero. Give him the respect he deserves." That's a beautiful thing to do for someone. It doesn't make up for all the crap he'd had to put up with, but it was great to see that someone remembered him.
Jewell was diagnosed with diabetes early this year, and his kidneys were failing. He died on August 29th. The media reported his death, but too many omitted their parts in trying to put a hero in prison.
If we lived in the Marvel Universe, Captain America would've shaken Richard Jewell's hand on national TV, lectured us about our fickle loyalties, and made sure Nick Fury gave Jewell a good job in SHIELD. If we lived in the DC Universe, Batman would've cleared Jewell in two days, had Rudolph in custody in three, and the Wayne Foundation would've made sure Jewell and his mom spent the rest of the rest of their lives comfortably well-off and suitably respected by everyone.
We live in the real world, where people have fan websites for murderous terrorists like Eric Rudolph, and where there are no statues honoring heroes like Richard Jewell.
That's insane, and that's all there is to say about it.

Hélio Oiticica returns to London
Oiticica returns to London
The Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro, 1937-1980) used to say that he was not a 'career artist', reflecting his wish not to be categorised under an established label. Oiticica's early works were influenced by the Brazilian neo-Concretists and fell within the framework of geometric abstractionism, but his particular political aesthetic regarding the liberation of the viewer, which spurred his interests in the experience of art, set him apart from them. Soon, he was creating works that went beyond the two-dimensional picture plane and addressed ubiquitous social and political realities in his native Brazil. The artist's works are, indeed, difficult to place within any one movement or style, from those he made during the fifties and sixties when he was associated with Constructivism in Brazil and participated in the Grupo Frente and, later, the neo-Concrete group, to the architectural environments he experimented with in the sixties and early seventies, and on to the 'Quasi Cinemas' he developed after having won a Guggenheim fellowship in 1971 and moved to New York.
The son of entomologist, photographer and painter José Oiticica Filho and the grandson of the intellectual anarchist José Oiticica, Hélio was acutely aware of his political environment and deeply engaged with concerns against naturalistic representation of the exterior world. His multifaceted production has challenged curators; most recently, the curators at Tate Modern, who have endeavoured to find a cohesive structure in which to show and discuss his works. The result is two exhibitions: the major retrospective 'Hélio Oiticica: The Body of Colour' on view at Tate Modern from 6 June to 23 September 2007 and 'Oiticica in London - Tate Collection', which is being shown on the fifth floor of the museum from 19 May to 21 October 2007. Taken together, the two exhibits present a complete portrait of the artist and his works, from the most formalist to the most conceptual.
In 'Hélio Oiticica: The Body of Colour', Mari Carmen Ramirez, curator of Latin American art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where the show premiered,1 arranged a view of Oiticica's works distinct from the typical discourses circulating about him in Europe. Ramirez has gathered 150 works and focused on the visual aspects of his creations, particularly Oiticica's expansive handling of colour. In many ways, Ramirez's approach is successful but, however innovative it may be, it tends to eclipse the dimensional complexity of Oiticica's spatial project.
The majority of the works in 'The Body of Colour' are gouaches on paper and paintings. The display begins with two-dimensional works and moves into the spatial objects. The exhibition conceives colour in Oiticica's works as the means for him to attain space perception. The discussion does not project colour here as a kind of chromatic grammar or raise questions related to the characteristics of Oiticica's palette. In fact, the embodiment of colour as a dimensional property is the point. Oiticica became well known internationally during the sixties as one of the pioneers of 'intervention', 'installation' and 'spectator participation'.2 But the formalist facet of his early works must not be forgotten. In the first years of his artistic practice, when he was connected to the Brazilian Constructivists, Oiticica's works, like any other artist from the Constructivist movement, addressed the abstract geometric form and how it could represent universal ideas. Clearly, from the range of perspectives that could be pursued under the Constructivist umbrella, Oiticica determined that using colour to develop a space would be the foremost pictorial component of his investigations.3
The works in gouache on cardboard explore the relation between geometric forms and chromatic elements. One work from the 'Metaesquemas' series (1959), for instance, consists of a collection of red rectangles combined together. The painted structure is not closed and reveals an irregular, cardboard coloured grid created from the background of the paper and the 'hollows' between the rectangles. The expressive power of this example of 'Metaesquema' (1957-1958) is accomplished by the emptiness in the structure rather than by the physicality of the painted objects.
Following the Metaesquemas series are the 'Bilateral' group of works (1959). In this series, Oiticica's forms and colours can be seen in paintings and in objects suspended in the room in which they are displayed. The artist's gestures are repeated in different dimensions simultaneously: as flat images on the walls as well as in geometric plates of wood that hang from the ceiling and are placed orthogonally to each other, defining different planes and, as a consequence, creating different images. The slight gradation of white and beige conveys the impression of depth and spatial property through the effect of the shading.
The 'Bilateral' group leads into the 'Spatial Reliefs' series (1960). The works here are concerned with geometric forms and colour as well, but are no longer related to Oiticica's paintings. 'Spatial Reliefs' are red or yellow plywood cut in geometric shapes that are, like the works in the 'Bilateral' group, hung from the gallery ceiling. Visitors will be able to walk through the set and affect the space around the works by their personal displacement in the room. Once again, it is not the objects that impart the aesthetic experience, but rather the invisible dimensional structure that exists in relation to them.
It might appear that these works were the next logical step in Oiticica's exploration of spatial relationships through the use of colour, but for him the process was not a matter of merely increasing the number of dimensions. When Oiticica was making his art on paper or canvas, he was already experimenting with expanding spatial potential through colour. In fact, all of his spatial investigations came from a very specific objective: a desire to achieve a sensory experience for the viewer.
One of the most important ideas of the neo-Concretist group was the non-object theory, which defined a non-object as an object that intends to be a pure appearance.4 Under this premise, art manifestation is considered to be a synthesis of sensory and mental experiences. As a member of the Grupo Frente, the most innovative tendency within the Brazilian Constructivist movement, Oiticica embraced this concept. His study of colour furthered this aim. For the artist, any colour was a kind of universal language with which he could 'activate' a space, not only by visual impression, but mainly by highlighting the object's position in space. Oiticica wanted to stimulate other senses that could raise viewers' state of consciousness through their perception of themselves as relevant entities in the space.
In his two-dimensional works, Oiticica manipulated perception by giving space precedence over the singular entities, by conferring rhythm or movement to his forms and by distinguishing his purpose with colour. Later, with the interactive sculpture series 'Bólides' (1963-1965), he provoked bodily faculties, gathering a variety of materials that were to be revealed by the public. When the 'Bólides' were made, they were mostly small boxes constructed with drawers or divisions that could be touched, smelled and sometimes listened to. For example, 'Bólide number 16' is a coloured wooden box containing glass, charcoal and beach shells. At the Tate, the public cannot touch the 'Bólides', but the works are opened to allow viewers to see what each contains.
The last two rooms of the exhibit display Oiticica's 'Grand Nucleus'. This conglomerate of more than 30 pieces of fibreboard in different shades of yellow appears to be floating. Rectangles and squares hung from the ceiling and placed orthogonally to each other are 'drawn' in the air. Like 'Bilaterals' and the 'Space Reliefs', this work employs the position of the viewer as a key to realise Oiticica's purposes. A game of shifting between three-dimensional and two-dimensional images is generated by real physical depth as well as by changes in colour from a lighter to a darker yellow. In the same room, the single example of Oiticica's 'Penetrables' - square, man-sized cabins that one can enter - is not as convincing as it might be; the idea is that once inside the cabin, one can alter the position of the two doors that cross the box.
The display of Oiticica's famous 'Parangolés', colourful capes made for wearing and dancing that became his trademark, is also disappointing. They are in the show but cannot be worn. Consequently, they lose their strength. They are hung on hangers attached to the walls in a room that is also the site of a screening of the 1979 film 'HO', directed by the Brazilian filmmaker Ivan Cardoso, who was a close friend of Oiticica's.5 In 'HO', Oiticica appears dancing wearing the 'Parangolés' and discussing his interests and objectives.
Regarding Oiticica's works through a formalist lens, Ramirez has provided an organisation that is not in sync with the Brazilian artist's process. She offers an evolutionary line that makes a practical distinction between the works on paper and other works developing up to the 'Parangolés'. The artist's works can also be perceived as examples of his continuous investigation, not merely as a progression towards the sensorial. For example, 'Grand Nucleus' has elements that can be found in the early abstract paintings. The creation of space through colour in his works is effected through different procedures. Moreover, by creating an evolutionary line, Ramirez has 'disciplined' the transformation in Oiticica's works. On the one hand, Ramirez's frame does provide a way to discuss Oiticica's development as an artist and his role as a thinker. On the other hand, visitors may begin to notice that no mention is made of the political issues that were so important to him. It seems as if the artist who sought to liberate viewers for a total experience has been captured inside the museum, petrified behind the window glass. Considering Oiticica's stance against any type of standardisation, this is unfortunate. During his exhibition in Whitechapel in 1969, for example, he said, 'I am going to make an experience with this London show … not "an art exhibition" as all artists do … but something that will have a new form of seeing, of behaviour, not an artificial prestige as an "artist of the world", although this can't easily be controlled.'6
To commemorate the time that Oiticica spent in London, the Tate has prepared, 'Oiticica in London' as an adjunct to the main exhibition. Ramirez's art-historical approach is balanced here by a look at the revolutionary and singular nature of Oiticica's vision. Curated by Guy Brett (a personal friend of Oiticica and co-author of the book Oiticica in London published by the Tate) and Tanya Barson, the exhibit displays works in five rooms, including some in the Tate's collection by artists who participated in the Signals project. Founded in 1964, the Signals project was run by a group of avant-garde artists and intellectuals. In the sixties, the gallery was an underground meeting place for British and foreign artists, including: Brazilian artists Sergio Camargo, Lygia Clark and Mira Schendel; Venezuelan artist Jesus Soto; Chinese artist Li Yuan-Chia; and Philippine artist David Medalla. By including these artists with similar aims, Oiticica's aesthetics are connected to what was happening in the late sixties in the UK.
One of the five rooms dedicated to 'Oiticica in London' contains the artist's installation 'Tropicália' (1967), an oasis with sand, coloured parrots, tents and including 'Penetrables' with a television inside exhibiting any TV channel. The work is considered to be the turning point in Oiticica's oeuvre and has just been acquired by the Tate. The installation was made at the start of the Tropicália movement, in which Oiticica participated. A response to political dictatorship, the movement encompassed popular music and the arts in Brazil and was considered to be revolutionary in its scope and aspirations. Although the movement was squashed by the military regime, its influence on music and art has been acknowledged by artists around the world. To view the 'Tropicália' installation, the public must queue up to enter this multisensory experience. If visitors have not, by this point, gained a complete grasp of Oiticica's range as an artist, Tropicália may just open a window onto the artist's vision of total participation gained through liberation from established concepts, labels and perceptions and cultural clichés.
Oiticica died at the age of 43. His passion for art and obsession with colour was matched by his equally strong addictions. The immediate cause of his death, according to his family, was a brain stroke due to high blood pressure. The loss of an artist who dedicated himself to experimentation, the liberation of the viewer and to art as an open-ended conversation raises questions of what he might have done had he lived. Certainly, there is enough in these two exhibits to spark visitors' own imaginations, liberating them as Oiticica might have wished, to see beyond what they see before them.

Born in Puerto Rico, Mari Carmen Ramirez is Wortham Curator of Latin American Art and director of the International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where 'Hélio Oiticica: The Body of Colour' was displayed from December 2006 to April 2007. Ramirez edited the exhibition catalogue, Oiticica: The Body of Colour.
2. At the end of the sixites, Oiticica spent a year in London and, in 1969, was the subject of an exhibit at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. The largest show ever held for the artist, it was organized as a continuous participatory environment for visitors to interact with his paintings, sculptures and installations.
3. The Brazilian Constructivist Movement had two divergent tendencies. The first one, exemplified by the São Paulo-based Grupo Ruptura, was predominantly influenced by Geometric Abstractionism and the theory of pure visibility. The artists working in this mode had a single style and strict creative process rules. The second group, the neo-Concretists, in Rio de Janeiro, was against strong rationalism, and their techniques were more innovative. Both groups shared as their main aesthetic concern the pictorial elements in art, such as colour, shapes and lines, without figurative references.
4. The non-object theory was first published in 1960 in the Suplemento Dominical, the Sunday cultural supplement of Jornal do Brasil, one of the most important Brazilian newspapers at the time, as a contribution to the second neo-Concretist exhibition. Written by the poet and art critic Ferreira Gullar, the text compiled the main thoughts that were guiding the artistic group.
5. Oiticica worked as actor in minor roles in some of Ivan Cardoso's horror films. In fact, Cardoso shot a second documentary on Oiticica, Meia noite com Glauber, in 1997. Cardoso is developing a third documentary on the artist, focusing on Oiticica's biography.

Awesome the group has been, for they have become a 20th century phenomenon. The total revision of architecture since the 1970s could not have happened so readily without this exuberant, intellectually fizzing, irreverent band of six. It was a long haul, and could not have happened without a remarkable, ingenious and dogged persistence to hold the course. The group, or at least those still alive in 2002, received the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Gold Medal for Architecture, indissolubly as a group.

Failing to get investor, lenders take Jet to insolvency court – The Hindu BusinessLine
18 Jun 2019 ART IBC, News of interest Leave a comment
It's too late in the day to revive the airline, say observers
After five months of trying to find an investor to salvage Jet Airways, lenders to the airline on Monday decided to refer the debt-laden company to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to start insolvency proceedings. The move comes after the lenders failed to get a suitable offer from any of the potential investors.
A meeting of lenders was held on Monday to decide on the way forward. After the meeting, State Bank of India, the lead lender, in a statement said: "After due deliberations, the lenders have decided to seek resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) since only a conditional bid was received and the requirement of the iInvestor for SEBI exemptions and resolution of all creditors is possible under the IBC."
Only one bid received
The lenders had received only one bid from Etihad Airways, which had offered to take a minority stake but had set conditions. There was an attempt to rope in the Hinduja Group as the other significant investor but the talks did not materialise.
"Lenders led by SBI have been taking efforts to find a resolution for Jet Airways outside the IBC, but in view of the above, the lenders have decided to seek a resolution within the IBC process," the statement added.
The move to drag the company to the NCLT is a last ditch effort by the lenders to recover their dues. Jet Airways owes over ₹14,000 crore to financial and operational creditors. However, industry analysts and employees of the company are not hopeful of a revival of the airline.
Ravi Kini, Managing Partner, MV Kini & Co, said: "In the current situation, it is very unlikely that Jet will get a buyer as a going concern, so most likely it will be liquidated."
Asim Vailani, Vice-President, National Aviators Guild (NAG), the association representing Jet pilots, said: "This has come as a disappointment. This could have been done almost three months back. I don't know why there was so much wastage of time, effort and energy for everyone."
NAG and other employees are hoping to at least recover their salary dues by joining the NCLT-led process. The company owes nearly ₹400 crore in salaries.
Captain Parikshit Joshi, a NAG committee member, said: "If this is being done to salvage the airline and revive it, it's too late. We don't know what will be left with the airline post this."
According to sources, both Etihad and Hindujas wanted to start on a clean slate with the company debt wiped out from the books. According to one estimate, the investors needed to pump in ₹Rs. 5,600 crore immediately to get the airline operational.
The NCLT's Mumbai Bench last week had adjourned hearings in insolvency cases filed by two operational creditors — Shaman Wheels and Gaggar Enterprises — against Jet Airways to June 20, as representatives of the grounded airline were not present. The lenders will now join the two operational creditors.
'Bids were frivolous'
Jet Airways had temporarily shut operation on April 17. At its peak, the airline had 22,000 employees, including 6,000 contract staff.
"I think government should have acted much faster, much earlier I think. Lenders should not have spent so much time in trying to identify a potential suitor. They were all frivolous bids," said Arvind Gupta, a minority shareholder.

Hans Christian Andersen (en España, El fabuloso Andersen; en Hispanoamérica, Hans Christian Andersen) es un musical dirigido por Charles Vidor con letra y música de Frank Loesser. Es una historia ficticia y romántica que gira alrededor de la vida del famoso poeta y cuentacuentos danés Hans Christian Andersen, personaje interpretado por Danny Kaye.

La película fue un éxito internacional de la época. No es una película biográfica, y se presenta como un cuento de hadas sobre el escritor. La mayor parte de la historia se cuenta por medio de canciones y bailes, e incluye los más famosos cuentos de Andersen.

Uno de los responsables de los decorados y del vestuario fue el pintor español Antoni Clavé.

Sinopsis
Hans Christian Andersen es un zapatero en una pequeña ciudad de Dinamarca al que le gusta contar historias fantásticas a los niños, que lo adoran. Un día decide ir a Copenhague buscando fama y riqueza como escritor, y allí se enamora de Doro, una bella bailarina. Ella lo rechaza, pero antes le ha inspirado bellos cuentos, así que Hans vuelve a su ciudad, ahora ya como un escritor famoso.

The Multiemployer Health Plan Landscape: 10 Takeaways
Justin Held, CEBSOctober 14, 2019Employee Benefits, Health Care, Multiemployermultiemployer health plans
The median cost of benefits for multiemployer health plans increased by 54% over the ten-year period from 2007 to 2016, reaching $10,853 per participant per year (PPPY), according to a new International Foundation report. The consistent increases in costs over the ten-year period required increases in employer and worker/retiree contributions.
Plan demographics also shifted during this time period, with the number of covered retirees increasing by 22%, while the number of active participants increased by only 1%. This increase in the number of retirees can make it increasingly difficult for plan trustees to manage the financial shortfall.
Despite these trends, the financial condition of many of the 1,560 multiemployer health plans has improved. These are among some of the key findings from The Multiemployer Health Plan Landscape: A Ten-Year Look (2007-2016), the third annual report in a series.
Here are 10 key takeaways from the extensive report on multiemployer health plans.
Plans in the Study
The majority of health plans (between 61.5% and 70.1%, depending on the plan year) offer dental, vision and life benefits in addition to health benefits.
Health plans may cover active participants, retired participants or both. The percentage of multiemployer health plans covering retirees increased slightly over the ten-year period, from 71.1% to 72.8%.
The plans in the study have more than five million covered participants. The median number of participants per plan is 980, while the average number of participants per plan is 3,340. In addition, the plans in the study reported having more than 200,000 contributing employers. The median number of employers per plan is 45, and the average number of employers per plan is 149.
Plan Demographics
Demographics are a key factor in the long-term sustainability of a health plan. In general, it is better for a plan's financial outlook to have a higher proportion of younger, working participants than older, retired participants. Although the overall total participant counts have remained largely unchanged, the mix of actives and retirees has shifted. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of retired participants increased by 34.0% (from 805,799 to 1,079,958). The retired participant count has remained at a similar level since that time; however, it declined by 5.9% between 2014 and 2016.
The report also analyzed plan demographics as a ratio of active to retired participants. In 2008, the median ratio peaked at 4.96, meaning there were almost 50 active participants to every ten retired participants. In 2009, the median ratio began to decline and hit its lowest point, 3.84, in 2011. By the end of 2016, the median ratio had increased back to 4.65.
Benefit Costs
Median benefit costs have increased each year during the ten-year period. The median benefit cost was $7,040 PPPY in 2007, and it increased to $10,853 in 2016, with variations each year. Changes in benefit costs could result from a number of factors, including fluctuations in the providers' underlying billed costs, variations in health care use or patterns by the plan participants, new health care services or products offered to the market, or changes in the demographics of the participants covered by the plans.
The financial intake, or income, of multiemployer health plans can be broken into four primary components: employer contributions, worker/retiree contributions, investment income and other income. Employer contributions, which represent the largest source of income, are made on behalf of a participant if all eligibility criteria are met. The median plan's PPPY employer contribution is $10,802, while the average plan's employer contribution is $11,129. The median plan's PPPY worker/retiree contribution is $416, while the average is larger, at $862.
Plan Cash Flows
To the extent that income exceeds expenses in a given plan year, the plan's financial status is expected to improve. Conversely, to the extent that income falls short of plan expenses, the plan's financial status will likely deteriorate. Aggregate income increased over the ten-year period, from $38.5 billion in 2007 to $58.2 billion in 2016. At the same time, expenses also increased from $33.5 billion in 2007 to $52.5 billion in 2016. Net cash flows were positive for 2007 before dropping to –0.9% in 2008. Cash flows rebounded beginning in 2009 and have been positive every year since.
Another way to evaluate the effects of positive or negative cash flows is to express the income and expenses as a ratio. The ratio of income to expenses has been above 1.00, meaning that income has exceeded expenses and cash flow has been positive, for every year in the past decade except 2008. More recently, the ratio fluctuated from 1.06 to 1.11 from 2009 to 2016.
A final measure of plan health is plan assets in terms of the number of months of expenses assets can cover. A higher number of months indicates that plan has a greater ability to withstand financial uncertainties including claim variability, changes in the total number covered, changes in demographics of covered participants, and work levels. The median level of assets measured as months of expenses is 13.4, while the average level of assets measured as months of expenses is 23.7.

Five reasons why the tech industry cares about the trade debate
The Washington Post, June 12, 2015
Steven Overly
Edward Snowden's revelation that the U.S. government had been secretly collecting reams of consumer information made it decidedly more difficult for American tech companies to expand abroad, as countries raised concerns about privacy and security.
But tech leaders are hoping that Congress will soon make that path easier if the House on Friday passes fast-track trade legislation, which would help the Obama administration complete pending international trade deals. Tech companies such as AT&T, IBM, Microsoft and eBay have mobilized behind a so-called trade promotion authority (TPA) bill and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal under consideration between the United States and 11 other countries, as both would specifically address intellectual property, data storage and Internet commerce concerns.

Adds compressed BC1 & BC3 image formats for gfx_device_gl/opengl. Image data is expected to be already compressed.
Each supports rgb & srgb.
I've been investigating texture compression to reduce VRAM usage in my game Robo Instructus. For this end I wanted more efficient 8-bit channel rgb & rgba storage with good opengl driver & hardware support.
S3TC is old and the best supported compression available (see https://opengl.gpuinfo.org/listcompressedformats.php). Patent issues are now history (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression). For testing I used GPUOpen-Tools/Compressonator for encoding, which is quite fast and seems to have decent quality.
I didn't include BC2/DXT3, or BC7 as I don't plan to use it. However, support for this format can be trivially added on top of this change.
I did investigate ETC2 compression too which is newer yet features wide support. However, I found actual hardware support for ETC2 on the desktop is much more limited that it may appear. It was a bit of a downer to see no VRAM usage reduction on my polaris RX480 when using ETC2 compressed textures. ETC2 formats also didn't seem to work without the GL_ARB_texture_storage/immutable storage code paths, whereas I've tested the BC1 & BC3 formats working either way. That can probably be addressed, but I didn't.
For the above reasons I decided against using ETC2 in the game & adding it here. Note though; similarly to BC2, this change will make it simpler to support ETC2 formats in future if desired.
Extensions now available in gfx_gl 0.6.
Robo Instructus is an OpenGL 3.3 game so I'm not personally interested in other API support for these formats at the moment. Also considering pre-ll code is in support mode, and unsupported formats already seem common I thought it wasn't a big deal not supporting other APIs.
I went with Vulkan naming style ie prefix with BC1. Maybe you guys have a better idea of what you'd like to name the formats. I'm not hugely fussed here.
It would be nice to have documentation for the new formats. Mentioning there various other pseudonyms & API support will probably help people wondering what BC1 does & means. However, the impl_formats! macro prevents easy documentation. I've added this. Other formats can now be fairly easily documented too.
Yep with gfx-rs/gfx_gl#38 merged & released I can update to refer to that gfx_gl version.
Ok the extensions are in gfx_gl and documentation for the new formats is there. I don't see only supporting OpenGL as an issue, as other backends could be added later anyway.
I've been using these formats for all the textures in Robo Instructus for the last two beta updates and everything seems fine with my testers.
Let me know if you have better ideas for the format names, otherwise this is ready to go I think.
This looks great, amazing work!
Left one suggestion. Feel free to merge otherwise.
Yeah that probably will make sense when the formats are supported in more backends. Right now this is really just an implementation detail of the gl backend, not part of the public API. I'm not sure if it even will be useful in other backends, so it makes sense to leave it private for now (it's not exactly complicated either).
S3TC is old and the best supported compression available (see https://opengl.gpuinfo.org/listcompressedformats.php). Patent issues are now history (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression). For testing I used [GPUOpen-Tools/Compressonator](https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/Compressonator) for encoding, which is quite fast and seems to have decent quality.

It was a bit of a downer to see no VRAM usage reduction on my polaris RX480 when using ETC2 compressed textures. ETC2 formats also didn't seem to work without the `GL_ARB_texture_storage`/immutable storage code paths, whereas I've tested the BC1 & BC3 formats working either way. That can probably be addressed, but I didn't.
Extensions now available in gfx_gl `0.6`.
~It would be nice to have documentation for the new formats. Mentioning there various other pseudonyms & API support will probably help people wondering what BC1 does & means. However, the `impl_formats!` macro prevents easy documentation.~ I've added this. Other formats can now be fairly easily documented too.
@kvark can this be released in v0.18? I guess gfx-core will need a breaking bump, but I'm not sure if gfx "soaks" that bump or has to step with it.
Saying that, it would only be breaking for code that has a comprehensive match statement across the surface types, which I don't know any (for pre-ll), so in practice this would be a breaking change, especially considering that 0.18 was released relatively recent and hasn't gotten that many users.
Therefore, my weak preference would be on releasing this as a patch to 0.18 rather than the new version. @msiglreith @grovesNL @alexheretic opinions?
Yes I'd have thought the only users matching on all surface types would be the gfx backends themselves. That along with the fairly recent v0.18 version I'd also favour sticking with 0.18 & yanking on complaint.
But either way will work in the end.
I've raised #2755 as a minimally breaking release proposal.
This change merges in pre-ll changes into v0.18, as the simplest method of getting BCn texture format & glutin 0.21 support there released.
The addition of the BC1 & BC3 texture `SurfaceType`s is technically a breaking change for gfx_core, this change instead treats it as a non-breaking change taking the view that it will only break the `gfx_device_*` backends which can be updated and released alongside.
**All** these crates should be released to prevent external breakage.
Alternatively if it's desired to treat the changes as an external breakage this pr should be closed in favour of planning the release of v0.19.

Q: Universal store app getting data from server I want to build an app that gets data from a server and it displays it in xaml. I'm new to universal programs and in windows store apps in general. I haven't found anything useful yet as ms sql solutions require libraries that is not allowed for universal store apps :(
P.S.: The answer in how to connect sql server 2008 R2 with windows store application did not answer my question, but Jeffery's answer did.

A: You can't connect to a MS SQL Server directly from the Windows App. The common way is host a data service and the app query the data through the REST API.
App -> data service (e.g. OData service) -> database (e.g. MS SQL Server)
In this case, you can deploy the SQL Server Data Service on IIS.
How to: Deploying OData Services using IIS & SQL Server
Then you use the HttpClient to retrieve the data from service.

Q: Building an web app to run inside other apps through a JS code-snippet I was given the task to develop sliders/pop-ups for customers of the company I work for. This works a bit like chatbots (ie. Intercom). The user sees a small bubble on the bottom-right corner, clicks on it and it shows some information from our (Rails) app.
What's the best way to create a javascript code to share with those clients? Should I add my code to a public js file and send those clients a script targeting my app? (like the example below?)
<script src='https://www.myapp.com/script.js'></script>

I've tried to do so, but it looks like the script doesn't link to my CSS files, so styles are broken. So I am not sure if it's the best way to go.

A: You're using the right approach.
To fix your missing CSS you could adjust your script to add the required CSS references to the head of the page.
let externalCssLink = document.createElement('link')
externalCssLink.rel = 'stylesheet'
externalCssLink.href = 'https://some-external-domain.com/some-css.css'

document.head.appendChild(externalCssLink)


Ah…as far as we are concerned it is now Summer. I know that the official date is the 21st of June and I will celebrate that also but today it officially started for us.
The day started with us both working and then an early lunch. After lunch we packed the beach chairs into the car and loaded up the towels, bottle of water, sunscreen, and our Kindles and headed to the BEACH!
Yesterday we finally had our first 80°F (26.6°C) and today we were determined to take advantage of the second one. It has been a cold and wet Winter and Spring here in Spain so we are embracing the warm sunny weather like never before!
It was breezy but warm and beautiful blue sky and the waves crashing and the sun glistening on the water. Sigh. It was paradise. It was one of the reasons we wanted to live here. To live close to the beach. To be able to go to the beach daily and swim in the sea.
The sea temperature is 70°F (21.1°C) but for some strange reason it felt just perfect so we had our first swim of the season. Sigh. Oh the feeling of sun-kissed skin that has been caressed by the sea.
Life is good. Life is better than good.
This was my daily calendar this morning. So true.


White Box based but skill based rather than class based and d6-only.
What I really like is that I mentioned to the designer (via RPGNOW) that like all the other WB based games, wilderness adventures and travel is ignored. He responded by immediately adding 5 pages of extra content focusing on just that.
At first glance the integration of skills and six-siders into the system is very nicely done. $3 (ish) for the PDF and quite spendy for the hard cover at Lulu but I believe there's a paperback on the horizon.


I came across this phrase recently as something said by soldiers who survived the horrors of the First World War. Their intention was surely to protect people who had not experienced the horrors of the trenches. They also wanted to protect themselves as far as was possible from their traumatic memories of friends they had lost, things they had seen, and sounds that threatened to haunt them.
That phrase rang a bell because that was the gist of the answer my grandfather gave when asked about the war.
That was about 50 years after the war had ended, but he still felt the desire to protect, and the need to leave memories unstirred.
Yet there were those who did tell, because they felt they had to. Letters home from the front were censored, because the truth would have been unbearable. But there was poetry, somehow less direct, and yet so powerful both in helping soldiers unburden themselves (at least in part) and in conveying something of what war meant. Novels came to be written, and plays, some of which were turned into films.
They spoke with emotion, remembering their fallen comrades, yet they still protected their hearers from the worst of what they had seen and heard. Protection of home and loved ones, that was one of the motives that kept those in the front line going, it was their duty.
If we ask "Why?", we can be grateful for that motive of protecting home and loved ones from the threat posed by the enemy. If we ask "How?", then we can grasp the obvious (but easily overlooked) fact that men were fighting for peace.
WW1 was meant to be the "war that ended all war." Sadly, it wasn't, but it is no contradiction, nor a dishonouring of those who served in both world wars, to remind ourselves of that motive of protection and the overall desire for peace.
I have been impressed by the thought and imaginative planning that has gone into the marking of this centenary in King's Stanley. Do take the opportunity to be part of what has been organised. We are the beneficiaries of those who risked and gave their lives in past conflicts, so it behoves us to remember with gratitude.
Meanwhile, as always, a warm welcome awaits you at our Sunday services in the village hall.
