Official reports of tranquil federal executions don't match witness accounts: AP
By John Bowden - 02/17/21 10:16 AM EST
Federal officials responsible for the executions of 13 people in the final months of the Trump administration did not paint a full picture of the events in official descriptions, according to a report from The Associated Press.
Former President Trump Donald TrumpWendy Sherman takes leading role as Biden's 'hard-nosed' Russia negotiator Senate needs to confirm Deborah Lipstadt as antisemitism envoy — Now Former acting Defense secretary under Trump met with Jan. 6 committee: report MORE's administration announced in 2019 that it would resume federal executions, the first time in 17 years that executions would be conducted at the federal level. Prisoners would die by lethal injection of pentobarbital.
Reports obtained by the wire service describing death row inmates' final moments were sanitized, describing their gurneys as "beds" and their final moments as "snores" and did not mention instances where the inmate appeared to be in severe physical distress during the execution.
"During the entirety of the execution, [William] LeCroy did not appear to be in any sort of distress, discomfort, or pain," wrote executioner Eric Williams in the documents. "A short time after he took a deep breath and snored, it appeared to me that LeCroy was in a deep, comfortable sleep."
However, AP journalists who attended each of the 13 executions in-person said the official accounts differed greatly from the actual experience, in particular during the case of the September execution of LeCroy, 50.
Journalists for the news service said LeCroy heaved violently in a manner that suggested he may have suffered a pulmonary edema. Such a method of execution would be considered inhumane under law.
Reporters for the outlet also said that prisoners' stomachs "shook and shuddered" as the pentobarbital was injected into their veins.
The sworn accounts of the executions by executioners were used as evidence by the government to prove that the injections were going smoothly, according to the wire service.
The news outlet reports, however, that inconsistencies between the documents and the reporters' accounts raise questions about whether the executioners did not report glitches to ensure expediency of the injections before President Biden Joe BidenCarville advises Democrats to 'quit being a whiny party' Wendy Sherman takes leading role as Biden's 'hard-nosed' Russia negotiator Sullivan: 'It's too soon to tell' if Texas synagogue hostage situation part of broader extremist threat MORE's administration took over.
What appeared to be physical distress caused by the lethal injection was an area of focus for prisoners' lawyers during litigation. They argued that the symptoms prisoners were experiencing were inhumane and amounted to "cruel and unusual" punishment.
However, a judge ruled last year that the executions could go forward, citing conflicting statements over whether a pulmonary edema occurred during some federal executions.
In a court filing, a government expert who did not attend the executions relied on executioners' statements to claim that journalists' reports of seeing inmates' chests heave during the process was actually hyperventilation due to stress.
"While the court continues to be concerned at the possibility that inmates will suffer excruciating pain during their executions," Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled, the attorneys for those set to be executed "have not established that flash pulmonary edema is 'certain' or even 'likely' to occur before an inmate is rendered insensate."

Review: Tibbits' 'Odd Couple' good fun
CHRISTOPHER TOWER
Director Charles Burr selected jazzy music reminiscent of the Neal Hefti theme for "The Odd Couple" without actually playing the song itself for the opening production of the Tibbits Summer Theatre's 53rd season.
And yet, the ghosts of the past performances that the audience know so well remain. The young actors filling roles for the classic Neil Simon comedy have to share the stage with the likes of Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, all of whom previously played the roles in the 1968 film or the 1970s ABC-TV comedy.
The greatest challenge of performing in a show that launched such a well-known franchise is distinguishing the roles from the standards set by the previous famous actors who played them. Part of what helps the young professionals on the Tibbits stage is that both the film and TV series played long before any of these actors were born. And yet, the young performers do a fine job in these well-established roles to the delight of audiences during the opening matinee on a rainy Thursday afternoon in Coldwater.
The flaws are few and far between in this stellar and hilarious production. All the performers have theater degrees; it may have been youth, opening day jitters, or direction yet to be given that caused minor hiccups in pace, delivery, and comic timing. But these flaws were the exception and not the rule, and though some performances outshone others, the overall effect was wildly entertaining.
Even before the recent reboot of "The Odd Couple" on CBS, the story is surely well known to most people. Neatnik and chronic hypochondriac Felix Ungar (Isaac Jankowski) moves in with best friend and dedicated slob Oscar Madison (Derek Mallor) after his (Felix's) wife asks for a divorce. Soon all the issues that caused Frances to declare that Felix was impossible to live with begin to irritate Oscar to the limit of his patience. The breaking point occurs when Felix ruins a dinner date with the Pigeon sisters (Allison Canning and Jaclyn Collins). A hilarious row with Oscar, in which he threatens to kill Felix, follows the also hilarious ruining of Felix's London Broil dinner over which he "slaved" and spent a stunning $9.34.
At first, Jankowski seems completely wrong for the role of Felix, so far as he is in looks from the likes of Lemmon or Randall. And yet, quickly, his whining, sinus honking and tearful confessions endear him to the audience and show his acting chops. Mellor seems more suited to the role of Oscar, though he doesn't quite know what to do with the "pussycat" slang of Act One and doesn't really hit his best stride until Act Two's date and subsequent berating of Felix. In the end, Mellor plays a solid and well-rounded Oscar Madison.
Supporting the two leads is a great ensemble assembled as the curtain rises during the opening scene's poker game: Speed (Ben Shimkus), Murray (Vince Orabona), Roy (Davis Wayne), and Vinnie (Joey Gugliemeli). Though the foursome could tweak deliveries and add more authentic New York accents, the four actors deliver some great comedy, especially in the scramble to keep Felix from suicide. Especially hilarious is Joey Gugliemelli as Vinnie. Gugliemeli nearly steals the show with his richly textured and quirky performance.
Sets, costumes, and music all evoke the 1960s-70s era of New York very well. However, having Oscar -- a New Yorker and sports writer -- wear a red baseball cap sporting neither a Yankees nor a Mets logo is very disappointing and ruins suspension of disbelief.
As always, director Charles Burr proves himself a master of theatrical staging and production values, though he has some rough spots to smooth over. He establishes well the rapid banter of the men at their poker game; but they botch the pace several times in the opening scene, and the rapid popping of lines falls flat with a thud. These glitches will be easily fixed, but they were among the only flaws in an otherwise spotless (as if cleaned by Felix) opener.
Burr noted the Tibbits has never staged the original, all-male version of "The Odd Couple," which is a classic comedy of the American theater and one of Neil Simon's finest and best loved shows. It's worth the drive to Coldwater.

ERA WESTBALKAN+ project fully operational
The ERA WESTBALKAN+ project started its operation in January 2007, having as main objective during FP7 to accelerate the opening up of the European Research Area to the Western Balkan Countries (WBCs), i.e. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYROM, Montenegro and Serbia.
The ERA WESTBALKAN+ project (Specific Support Action, funded by the EC under FP6) started its operation in January 2007, having as main objective during the Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7) to accelerate the opening up of the European Research Area to the Western Balkan Countries (WBCs), i.e. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYROM, Montenegro and Serbia. The two leading goals of the ERA WESTBALKAN+ project are on the one hand to strengthen the position of National Contact Points (NCPs) by deepening and enlarging their network with their counterparts in the European Union, and on the other hand the Western Balkan RTD community shall be supported in its participation in FP7 by offering researchers and research institutions hands-on information and trainings on FP7 relevant issues. After the project kick-off in Vienna on 17 January 2007, the project consortium organised an NCP workshop in Belgrade on 8-9 May 2007 for round 40 NCPs from WBCs, and a Life Sciences researcher visit and partnering event for round 30 West Balkan researchers on 19-20 June 2007 in Vienna. A valuable database was created in the previous project ERA WESTBALKAN and is still actively pooling profiles from researchers, as well as universities and organisations active in R&D in WBCs. The Western Balkan Research Database aims at increasing the visibility of the scientific R&D community in WBCs allowing researchers to present their expertise and their research ideas/projects to other European R&D communities and players, who themselves benefit from a broad pool of R&D experts from WBCs for potential strategic partnerships and international R&D cooperation. Using the tool, the region's scientific community can be searched by thematic area, as defined within FP7, by organisation type and by geographical region. For registration and further information please visit http://www.westbalkanresearch.net .

B-17 flight brings back memories of service
Brian Blansett, Shawnee News-Star
When the e-mail came across offering media flights aboard a restored B-17 bomber on Memorial Day, it seemed like a good way to honor the thousands of American airmen who died in World War II.
I also knew it would interest one other special B-17 crewman: my dad, a flight engineer on B-17s during the war.
So, I reserved two seats on the Liberty Belle flight and called Dad to tell him he'd be taking off again in a B-17.
En route to meet the Liberty Belle at Wiley Post Airport in Oklahoma City Monday, Dad calculated that the last time he was aboard a B-17 was December 1945, a couple of months before he was sent home and discharged after two years in the Army.
It didn't take long around the plane for the 65 years to begin melting away.
Soon he was like a kid reunited with an old toy, pointing out features on the Liberty Belle, giving a quick tour of the interior and striking up a friendship with a former sailor who said he'd had half a flight in a B-17. He'd had to hit the silk when the plane was shot down.
By the time we were ready to take off and Dad had assumed his old position on the flight deck, it really wasn't hard to imagine him a 20- year-old gone off to fight a war.
The good thing was that he'd gone off and then come back home alive.
Thousands of other airmen didn't, sacrificing themselves to bring an end to Hitler's Reich and the Japanese Empire.
I thought about that as the Liberty Belle circled peacefully around Oklahoma City and tried to imagine what it would have been like for the crews of the 4,735 B-17s that went down in the war.
Many died and others — like Fred Fehr's father — survived but spent the rest of the war in prison camps.
That's the purpose of the Liberty Belle, to make us think of those sacrifices and help bring some of the reality of World War II to the generations of us who enjoy the benefits of the peace it brought without the suffering it

Q: JQuery Multidimensional Array not picking up val in the array I have a table with ~26 td and they are all checkboxes with a value defined for each one. There could be an infinite number of rows.
Here is an example of what one of the td looks like:
<input type="checkbox" class="largerCheckbox" id="Missing Date" value="true"'+ZMISSDATE+'>

I want to create of an array in JQuery where the array will show the value on each row. I got the array completed but when I console log it, all my td's for each row is coming out blank.
Here is my JQuery to create the array:
        var mainArray = [];
        $("table#dt-multi-checkbox tr ").each(function(){   /* Loop through all rows of the table(id='dt-multi-checkbox') */
            var tempArray = [];                        /* Declare a temporary array */
            $(this).find('td').each(function(){        /* Loop through all elements inside a row */
                tempArray.push($(this).val());        /* Use array push() function to add an element to the array */
            });
            mainArray.push(tempArray);
        });

        console.log(mainArray);

Can somebody tell me where I am going wrong? Why is the value ="true not showing in my array (from the example td I mentioned above) and how can I make it show the value in the array?
Here is an example of what it looks like when I console log it:
Array(26)
0: ""
1: ""
2: ""
3: ""
4: ""
5: ""
6: ""
7: ""
8: ""
9: ""

17: ""
18: ""
19: ""
20: ""
21: ""
22: ""
23: ""
24: ""
25: ""

Thank you and I appreciate any direction you can guide me.

A: Change your jquery function to:
var mainArray = [];
    $("table#dt-multi-checkbox tr ").each(function(){   /* Loop through all rows of the table(id='dt-multi-checkbox') */
        var tempArray = [];                        /* Declare a temporary array */
        $(this).find("input[type='checkbox']").each(function(){        /* Loop through all elements inside a row */
            tempArray.push($(this).val());        /* Use array push() function to add an element to the array */
        });
        mainArray.push(tempArray);
    });

    console.log(mainArray);

Oslo, 5 August 2014: Yara International ASA has entered into an agreement to acquire a 60% stake in Galvani Indústria, Comércio e Serviços S/A ("Galvani"), for an enterprise value of USD 318 million.
Galvani is an independent, privately held fertilizer company, controlled by Mr. Rodolfo Galvani Jr., a Brazilian entrepreneur. The company is engaged in phosphate mining, Single Super Phosphate (SSP) production and distribution of fertilizers in the center and northeast of Brazil. Galvani also owns licenses for two new greenfield phosphate mine projects in Brazil.
The acquisition is in line with Yara's strategy for growth in Latin America, seeking to develop a production footprint in Brazil to complement its established position, following the recent acquisition of the Bunge fertilizer business in Brazil.
"This acquisition represents another significant step in realizing our Latin American growth strategy, further establishing our position in Brazil as a long-term industry player, committed to developing and investing in Brazilian agribusiness," said Jørgen Ole Haslestad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yara.
"The Galvani acquisition will help secure phosphate fertilizer capacity in the center of the country and in the attractive and fast growing agri frontiers of Brazil. Furthermore Galvani brings excellent industry competence with cost-effective solutions for mining, production, blending and warehousing facilities," said Jørgen Ole Haslestad.
Galvani 2013 revenues amounted to USD 352 million, with an EBITDA of USD 48 million.
In addition to phosphate rock production, the projects under development include new upgrading capacity for phosphate fertilizer. Start-up for the various projects is expected between 3 and 5 years from closing date.
The enterprise value of USD 318 million for 60% of Galvani comprises USD 132 million for the existing business and USD 186 million for the mining/production projects, and will be adjusted for any deviation from normalized working capital (USD 42 million) at the time of closing. As part of the agreement, Yara will also, based on certain conditions, inject a total of USD 165 million as equity. With Yara's share of the company's debt being USD 93 million, the resulting total equity exposure for Yara will be USD 390 million. Furthermore, given certain project-related conditions are met, the agreements with Galvani will commit Yara to support the company's development of three specific mining and associated production projects with a total capital expenditure of USD 920 million (Yara's share USD 552 million) until 2019, the funding of which will be decided based on maximizing value for the company.
To reflect the uncertainty of the future projects, the agreement includes several risk reduction elements such as payment conditional upon successful project studies and milestones as well as guarantees related to capital expenditures and operating expense levels.
The transaction is subject to the approval of Brazilian competition authorities (CADE) and other customary approvals. Closing is expected to take place in fourth quarter this year.


You hear about clubs from day one of uni, sometimes even before then at Open Days, O-Week, or through older students. But you never really hear about how they run, who organises these events, and what it's like being on a committee.
At the end of the first semester of my second year, I managed to get a spot on the Arts Student Society committee. This led to two years in two different positions, working in a huge, wild and wonderful team of students from various majors.
Most Clubs have somewhere between 5-15 spots on their committee: A President, Secretary and Events Coordinators to name a few. At an Annual General Meeting (AGM), you're able to present a speech, answer a few questions and nominate yourself for a position if you'd like to help organise the events that this club or society hold. The people in each position changes year to year, in order to ensure that new skills and faces were being brought to the club.
In 2016, I was the General Committee Representative for the Arts Student Society. I was basically a spokesperson for the general committee who got to tell members when events were happening and ask for their feedback. I always knew what was going on in the society and was able to connect with lots of people, often the odd confused jaffy as we created a community for our society.
It was an opportunity where I got to know a lot of people and increase my social skills as I communicated with all kinds of people. I was also able to welcome newcomers to something where I'd had a lot of fun, especially in my first year.
In 2017, I went up again at the AGM for Education Coordinator. This was a position that required you to think about strengthening the educational and academic elements of a faculty society. I won the votes and had the opportunity to work in a partnership with another Education Coordinator. Developing a great partnership with him and communicating with faculty really felt worthwhile, not to mention the Writing Competition with all its entries and wonder. A lot of emails and reading were involved, but it was always worth it.
As education is always changing, this role also meant creating new things to keep up with students—for instance, a student-led Lecture Series on internships was one of our first new additions.
Being on a clubs committee is one of those incredible experiences that I'm glad to have had the opportunity to take part in not once, but twice. It provides an opportunity to do some volunteer work (yes that's another thing, none of the positions are paid) that contributes to the lives of other students around you with similar interests, and really helps you in making some great new friends, working together with others and creating exciting events for members.
As with everything however, there are always cons of being on a clubs committee.
· You have to put in the hard work alongside your degree, it's purely voluntary, and how much you put in influences how members of your club feel, so you decide the experience.
· You are expected to attend a lot of club events, which can sometimes interfere with other things you have going on in your life.
· The AGM itself counts as a con because they often go for hours and sometimes you won't even get the position that you're interested in. Long speeches, questions and standing in front of an audience of people voting? Intimidating.
· Sometimes there can be a lot of paperwork and emailing that goes around in circles until you finally work out what the answer is to the question you're asking. · It's something to put on your CV, volunteering looks great on the resume.
· Depending on the society, sometimes you get to go on Orientation Camps – this is one of the greatest university experiences even I had as an introverted first year.
· Free or discounted tickets to all of your events that you're organising! Nothing better than a free party!
· Opportunities and connections: sometimes clubs might get approached by businesses for sponsorships, discounts, or even just free stuff (I got to attend the Melbourne premier of Ready Player One).
· Skipping the BBQ line at your own BBQ.
· Being part of one club often means you create connections with other clubs as well, which enriches your university experience!
· You can try new things, create new events that you think students might be interested in.
· You learn who knows what and where you can ask for help if you need it.
· Great new friends and relationships can come out of club committees!
Joining a club and trying out for committee really is worth it. Without my time on the Arts Student Society, I think it would've taken a lot longer for me to feel comfortable at uni, confident and being more involved than I ever thought I would be.
If you're interested in joining a club check out the Clubs and Societies Page to find the right one for you, and who knows, maybe one day you'll be President of your favourite?


A man shot and killed in Downsview Thursday afternoon has been identified as Roy Zamora, a 26-year-old Ryerson student.
Police responded to a call shortly after 2 p.m., to sounds of gunshots at Camborne Ave. and Dalraith Rd., in the area of Sheppard Ave. W. and Keele St. in North York.
Police found the victim unresponsive and with gunshots to his upper body. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say two male suspects were last seen leaving the area in a grey vehicle, driving east.
City councillor for Ward 9, Maria Augimeri, spoke to the victim's mother and family members after the shooting. The victim's mother, who lost her husband to cancer almost nine years ago, said she's alone now, Augimeri said.
The killing is Toronto's 85th homicide of the year. The city's record for annual homicides is 89, a mark set in 1991.
Correction — Oct. 12, 2017: An earlier version of this article misspelled the name of Ward 9 Councillor Maria Augimeri.


The masses of displaced farmers are no longer farmers: they are migrants. These migrants have been changed by the industrialization that pushed them from their territory, and are united by the hostility they experience in the places to which they migrate.
A new identity for Okies has been forged from the hardships they have endured together.
The migrants terrify comfortable men, because these migrants hunger more strongly than the comfortable men can feel anything.
Human greed is no match for human desperation.
Industrialists gain monopolies on the cultivation and canning of fruit, which drives smaller farmers out of business, and creates more migrants, desperate for work.
The cycle of greed and extortion produces more desperate people, suggesting that the cruel rich create the conditions that will lead to their own eventual downfall.
The banks work against themselves. The money they spend trying to suppress rebellion in the laborers could have instead been directed towards enhancing the laborers' quality of life.
Enterprise becomes preoccupied with preserving its selfish ways, and overlooks the value—to itself included—of basic altruism.

Munich, February 7th, 2019 – The sunniest regions of the world are located in Africa and the Middle East. So it's particularly surprising that these regions are home to less than five of a total of 450 gigawatts of photovoltaics (PV) capacity worldwide. Africa holds enormous potential for renewable energies. Renowned experts will be exploring just how great this potential is with presentations at the Intersolar Europe Conference on May 14 and 15. The organizers of Intersolar Europe and the conference of the same name will also be presenting the results of their latest market study, the Intersolar Solarize Africa Market Report, which was carried out by the German Solar Association (BSW-Solar) on their behalf. In the exhibition halls themselves, visitors will also have the chance to learn everything worth knowing about solutions that are tailored to local conditions. Intersolar Europe will take place from May 15 –17 at Messe München – in parallel to three other leading energy exhibitions as part of The smarter E Europe, the innovation hub for empowering new energy solutions.
Intersolar Europe and the parallel exhibitions will take place from May 15–17, 2019 as part of the innovation hub The smarter E Europe at Messe München.
In 2019, ees Europe, Europe's largest exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems, will take place in parallel to Intersolar Europe for the sixth time. The two exhibitions will be complemented by the Power2Drive Europe and EM-Power exhibitions, which both debuted in 2018. Power2Drive Europe is dedicated to traction batteries for e-mobility and topics relating to charging infrastructure, while EM-Power focuses on intelligent energy use in industry and buildings. All four exhibitions are being held at the innovation hub for empowering new energy solutions: The smarter E Europe.

On Monday 21st May, pupils arrived to school greeted by the news that the 3g football field was nearing completion. Excited to use the field children were given the opportunity to test the new surface at break time.
Primary one pupil Manus Meehan was the first to enter the field followed by children from P1 to P7. Having spent 15 minutes playing on the field it was fair to say that the new field received a massive "thumbs up".

Flying a spacecraft to the sun has been an objective of NASA since the very beginning.
In October 1958, just months after NASA was founded, a committee headed by physicists John Simpson and James Van Allen (for whom the radiation belts around the Earth are named) outlined some long-term goals for the new civil space agency. One of the principle missions identified by the committee was «a solar probe to pass inside the orbit of Mercury to study the particles and fields in the vicinity of the Sun.»
Additional missions were identified as well, such as a lunar spacecraft and probes to explore the outer planets. While most of these missions were accomplished within a few short decades, the solar spacecraft required a level of technological expertise that humanity just hadn't achieved—until now.
«Solar Probe is the only one of those missions not to have launched," says Andrew Driesman of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). Driesman serves as the Project Manager of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, a mission 60 years in the making, destined to fly faster and closer to the sun than anything ever conceived.
Fly Me to the Sun
At 3:48 a.m. EDT on Saturday, August 11, the Parker Solar Probe will begin its journey to the sun atop the second most powerful rocket in operation: the Delta IV Heavy. It may seem strange, but launching to the sun is as challenging, if not more, than launching to Pluto or beyond.
Despite being relatively light as far as spacecraft go, only about 700 kg including fuel, Parker Solar Probe will need to launch at an incredibly high velocity to make its rendezvous with the sun. The Earth itself is flying around the sun at immense speeds, so to avoid simply orbiting the sun at the same distance as the Earth, the rocket must launch against the velocity of the planet.

NASA/JOHNS HOPKINS APL/ED WHITMAN
«Unlike going to the outer solar system, where you have to speed the spacecraft up, going into the inner solar system you have to slow it down—but from the perspective of the spacecraft it's all changes in velocity,» Driesman says. «The Earth travels through the solar system at about 30 km/s… so we have to shed the Earth's velocity in order to get close to the sun.»
Even the mighty Delta IV Heavy isn't quite enough to get Parker on its way, so NASA has provided a third «kick stage» for the launch that will ignite its rocket engine in space after the primary three-core booster and second stage have burned through all their fuel. The spacecraft will then fly by Venus for a gravity assist, which will decelerate the probe further so it can fall in toward the sun.
Over the course of 24 orbits, the craft will swing by Venus a total of 7 times to continue shedding velocity and falling closer and closer to the sun, ultimately descending to within 4 million miles of the solar surface—about 7 times closer than a spacecraft has ever ventured before.

And yet, for all this slowing down, the Parker Solar Probe will «be the fastest human-made object in existence,» says Driesman. When Parker slings around the sun at closest approach, it will hit a blistering speed of 430,000 mph relative to the sun.
A Shield to Take on Helios
The Parker Solar Probe's journey takes it into the sun's corona, a bubble of superheated plasma stretching millions of miles from the solar surface. To survive in such a hellish environment, the spacecraft will carry a composite heat shield that would not have been possible to build even 10 years ago—light enough to launch, strong enough to withstand the launch, and with enough heat resistance to guard the spacecraft from the face of the sun.
On Sept. 21, 2017, engineers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, lowered the thermal protection system—the heat shield—onto the spacecraft for a test of alignment as part of integration and testing.
NASA/JHUAPL
«If you were a satellite in Earth orbit… and your face were a meter by a meter, it's about 1,350 watts [of energy],» Driesman says. «Where we're going, it's about 500 times that. So it's roughly 3 million watts of energy on the heat shield at closest approach.»
The spacecraft's heat shield, known as the thermal protection system (TPS), is a sandwich of carbon-reinforced-carbon sheets with about 4.5 inches of carbon foam in between—a structure that will heat to about 2,500 degrees F.
«If you had tried to do this mission in the 60s or the 70s, I would even say the 80s, you'd be talking about flying high temperature metals,» Driesman says. «You'd be building heat shields out of some metals that have very high melting points, and you would never get it off the ground because it would be so heavy.»
Unlike most commercial carbon fiber, carbon-carbon structures are not held together by hardened resin—which would evaporate in the vicinity of the sun like gasoline on hot pavement. To build the heat shield, NASA manufactured sheets of carbon fiber and impregnative the substance with resin filled with «chopped up carbon fibers,» Driesman says, letting the resin harden before burning it off in a 3,000-degree oven and repeating the process four or five times.
«You're left with these carbon fibers that are intertwined. … So when we talk about a carbon-carbon structure, it is pure carbon. There is no resin, there ain't nothing else.»
Solar Panels—Up Close and Personal
The spacecraft will be powered by solar panels—there will certainly be plenty of solar energy where it's going—but a robust cooling system is required to keep the panels from shattering in the heat.
«For every watt of electrical energy we generate, we have to deal with about 13 watts of heat,» Driesman says. «So the cooling system on the spacecraft has got about 6,000 watts of cooling capacity, which is enough to cool a living room in the average house.»
Some clever engineering was required to construct what is perhaps to most efficient liquid cooling system ever devised.
The solar array cooling system for the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft—one element of which is the large, square black radiator visible at center, one of two that will be installed—is shown undergoing thermal testing at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland in late February.
«Most solar panels are laid up on an aluminum or carbon or a honeycomb composite, and that's what provides the structure for the glass cells,» Driesman says. «In this case, they're laid up on a titanium platen, and the titanium platen has these very thin tubes built into them… where the water circulates… back through a manifold and then through a pump and up into radiators that pick up the heat from the solar panel and radiate that heat to deep space.»
Interestingly, the cooling system will use water, deionized to prevent corrosion and pressurized to raise the boiling point to about 150 degrees Celsius. The water, about a gallon of it, will be contained in something that looks like a «a very small scuba tank,» where the team has taken care to prevent it from boiling off near the sun or freezing in the frigid conditions immediately following launch. «There were something like 50 coolants looked at, and water turned out to be the best,» Driesman says. «It has a great heat capacity [and] it's not toxic.»
Even with such a robust cooling system, the solar panels will need to hide from the direct fury of the sun as the spacecraft loops in for its 24 close passes. Mounted on actuators, the solar panels will fold behind the heat shield on closest approach, exposing only a small portion of the cells to the sun at a sharp angle—and that will be plenty of power to run the critical science and navigation equipment.
Kevlar Armor Against Micrometeorites and Orbital Debris
For all the hazards of flying in the vicinity of the sun, perhaps the least discussed is a barrage of tiny rocks waiting to shred any vulnerable object that ventures too close. So-called «sungrazing comets» are often broken to bits when they fly near the sun, ripped apart the by the immense gravity to leave behind a field of micrometeorites and orbital debris (MMOD).
Parker Solar Probe being integrated into the payload fairing of the Delta IV Heavy rocket in preparation for launch.
«So in close to the sun, there's hypothesized a hypervelocity dust environment where you've got these very small grains of dust moving at very high speeds, 200 or 300 km/s,» Driesman says. «It's not uncommon for a spacecraft to have what they call micrometeorite protection, but in the outer solar system the velocities of the particles are much more tame… so [the spacecraft] has got this overwrap of Kevlar and blanket material that protects the cooling lines from punctures.»
As if the heat and the extreme velocities weren't enough, NASA's newest spacecraft will have to shield itself from impacts with rocky debris that is smaller, but «much more extreme» than debris in the outer solar system. Add up all the advanced defense mechanisms required, and it's no surprise that it took NASA six decades after proposing a solar probe to finally «touch the sun.»
«There are still areas of the heliosphere that are unexplored,» Driesman says, referring to the entire solar system where solar wind holds influence. «And this is in many ways the last of them.»

Update 20th July 2018. The Zhiyun Smooth 4 is now in stock.
The Zhiyun Smooth 4 is NOT currently compatible with Samsung Note 8 , despite Zhiyun-Tech officially supporting it in their Android app.
The issue is the Samsung Note 8 phone is too heavy so that the gravity point of the phone cannot be adjusted to the centre of the Smooth 4's holder.
The Smooth 4 cuts off due to balance protection.
Zhiyun are currently working on the issue.
The following 3 paragraphs are our frank assessment of the Smooth 4 as of 19th July 2018. "With its follow focus feature courtesy a dedicated focus wheel the smooth 4 offers a few unique features yet to be found on a similar device. The Zy Play app may not be as polished as the DJI Go app but of course this could be updated in the future."
"The Mad Dog mode (Phone Go Mode) allows you to quickly focus on action without waiting for the gimble to slowly pan, instead it locks the gimble quickly from the touch of a button also allowing you to switch back to gimble mode just as quick. This is a great feature if you do not know where the next shot will need to be as it allows you to quickly move your point of focus whilst still shooting."
"The smooth 4 comes with a tripod stand which means no extra purchase if you want to sit your gimbal on a flat surface instead of carrying. The smooth 4 feels a little more robust and the gimbal motors seem beefier to the point where some users have successfully managed to use a small light point and shoot camera on the gimbal."
We have two video tutorials / reviews from Zhiyun-Tech. In this video, Brett shows us Smooth 4 functions like Zooming, Follow Focus, Vertigo Shot Presetting and Cool Phone Go Mode Scene Transitions. As for more other creative ways of playing, please stay tuned to Part II of ZHIYUN Smooth 4 Official Tutorial. I particularly like the transition mode.
The next of the tutorials will show you how to turn on and set up the Smooth 4 and then go on from there.
Can you use the Smooth 4 with your GoPro? View from 12.45 to see this specifically.
Please note that our Smooth 4 doesn't support every type of smartphone for Android. Since there are too many versions and it's very difficult to support all the Android phones.
We are working on modifying the APP now to support more models of Android phones.
So please note below information and let your dealers or end customers be aware of it before order.
1. Please be aware that the customers can download the ZY Play app to check out if their phones are compatible with the Smooth 4, and below we provide link of the list of smartphone types that support the Smooth 4.
2. Updating the Firmware to the latest version 1.76 could solve most of possible problems.
This video is superb with all of its Hints and Tips.
And this video is here coz iz rully luv dis geeza.
The Zhiyun-Tech Smooth 4 Smartphone Gimbal comes with a full Australian warranty.

Downes, Storer & Wright to remain with the Robins
Reaction from the players and Gary
We are pleased to announce that Aaron Downes, Kyle Storer and Danny Wright will remain with the Robins for another year.
All three men joined the club in the summer of 2015 and helped restore our our Football League status at the first time of asking.
The Gaffer Gary Johnson commented, "Stoz and Wrighty were two of the first to commit themselves to the club after being offered a contract. They'd agreed very early on and I'm pleased that all of the forms are now signed and they'll both be with us for another year.
"Danny, for a first season in the EFL after many years outside of it, proved his goal scoring prowess with 11 goals. He had a fantastic work rate, even at his age! There's still work to do but it's mainly just making sure he's got confidence which I'm he will. Next season can only be better.
"Kyle played in a lot of games that we got results in. That is no coincidence. He was unlucky to be suspended a couple of times. Some say unlucky some say stupid but he also proved that he can effect a game at EFL level. They are two players who help lead this team, one who leads by example in Danny and one who is a leader and great talker in Kyle, he's a great vice-captain.
"I'm also pleased to announce that we're keeping the experience and leadership of Aaron Downes at the club. Keeping these three means we keep our identity and DNA for another year. They know the culture of our club and will encourage other players to adhere to our training and philosophy."
Downes added, "I'm obviously very happy to stay on at Cheltenham. Me and my wife have grown very fond of the area and the fans. I'm also grateful to the Gaffer & Chairman for keeping their belief in me. I'm really looking forward to the season ahead and imparting my experience onto our very good players that we have in the squad as well as helping the team and the squad to be successful."
Kyle and Danny both made their EFL debuts last season and are looking forward to taking on the challenge again come August.
Storer said, "I was delighted to be offered another contract. I can't wait to have another crack at the league after working so hard to get there.
"I missed games this year but managed to establish myself in the team towards the end. This year I'll be able to have a full go at it! I really appreciate all of the support I've been given over these two years and can't wait to play in front of them all again."
Danny, who helped us to surprise the first 'Join Our Squad' prize winner last week, is keen to get back playing again, "Of course I was delighted to agree a new extension with the club. I can't wait for next season now. We want to put a few things right and will learn from last year.
"My experience so far is that this is a fantastic club to play for. The players, staff and fans are close-knit and I'm so happy to be staying. It was great to surprise Alan last week and it's great to see so many fans joining our squad. Hopefully we can hit our target and become stronger as a club. I'm just ready to kick on now!
To sign up to the Join Our Squad campaign, buy your season ticket and get your name into the hat for some great prize draws to come. Read the full details here.

Few artists are as extraordinary as Claptone. With a knack for the theatrical and a career shrouded in mystery, researching Claptone can often raise more questions than it answers. Ahead of his headline appearance this Saturday, we attempt to chart his journey to superstardom and highlight some of the most significant talking points from his spiralling career.
For an artist with such an iconic look, it's unusual perhaps that when Claptone first emerged the visual identity was as stripped back as on debut EP She Loves You. The plague doctor mask was nowhere to be seen, but the tracks were straight fire. Almost immediately, fans began to look for answers from the faceless producer, but as time went on the mystery would only grow.
After debuting the remix on his Essential Mix, Claptone's take on the Gregory Porter original went on to top the Beatport chart. Success wasn't just a oneway street, however, as jazz magazine, The Jazz Line would note that the remix prompted music lovers to seek out more of Porter's work. Porter's Liquid Spirit album was certified Gold in the UK, in part due to the popularity of the remix.
The first full body of work from the mind of Claptone. Charmer is one of the key releases from the Deep House revival of 2015. The 13 tracks within would go on to become the bedrock of Claptone's Immortal live show.
After months of speculation and reports of Claptone DJing in two countries at the same time, Claptone finally wowed the world be unveiling that there are at least two people behind the mask. The duo appeared for the first time at Coachella Music Festival in 2016. Whether more men answer to 'Claptone' remains to be seen.
Undoubtedly one of the most impressive album reveals in dance music history. The prank involved a mysterious find at an archaeological dig in rural Ireland and culminated in mask-wearing gangs descending on capital cities around the world.

Write Club Hyderabad just published 3 pm Tales with stories that came up during their weekly meetups, Check it out!
The group meets every Saturday and this book is made of content that came up during these impromptu meetings. The book is a result of all those meetings and the magic that happened therein

November 17 was a special day for folks who are a part of the Write Club Hyderabad because they launched their third anthology, 3 pm Tales at Phoenix Arena, HITEC City. And if you can't wait to get your hands on it, be patient, because their first edition was already sold out at the event. When we spoke to Sravanthi Talluri, Founder of the Write Club Hyderabad, she told us how their first book was a collection of short stories and poems and their second one was a theme-based book, but 3 pm Tales contains those works which were developed at their regular Saturday 3 pm meets at Lamakaan.
Some of the regular participants of the club are director Aparna Malladi, poet Rebecca Vedavathy, poet Paresh Tiwari and several others
Since three years, participants of Write Club Hyderabad have been meeting to write more and write better. At every meet, Talluri, or a host participant, provides the group with prompts, themes or a storyline which the participants take up and create their own pieces. Best of these pieces, whether haikus, haibuns, flash fiction, poetry or short stories, have been distilled for 3 pm Tales. "This year, we wanted the anthology to be about what we do in the club. So we published the best works of participants," says the 27-year-old Talluri.
Say cheese: Club members and Kalpna Singh-Chitnis, an Indo-American writer and filmmaker, at the book launch
But sustaining a club for three years is no easy task, we assume. So we ask Talluri how she has managed to keep the club going. "Well, am a stickler for rules, some of which, I think, has really helped us with consistency," says Talluri, who is a Senior Analyst at Deloitte. One of these rules being that if you have attended the meet more than twice, you are eligible to host a meet, for which, you will provide a prompt of your own. Then, the same prompt is used by other participants to write their piece of the day. Usually, their sessions include a warm-up for the first 15 minutes, wherein, people are asked to do various things - from physical exercises, doodling to group exercises. Then the prompts and guidelines are given and the writing begins. Towards the end, participants are free to read out what they have written and fellow participants offer suggestions for the piece.
They also conduct workshops for both members and non-members. Their membership fee is `250 per annum
"Next, we want to be able to target audience as per their age, for example, we would like to conduct workshops for 13 to 19-year-olds and help refine their skills so that they can be steered in the right direction," says the alumna of Vignana Bharathi Institute of Technology. "I still remember that I started this club because I wanted to hone my own writing skills. My aim was also to build a community of writers," says Talluri, adding that she is working on something independently too.

Yesterday I needed to test a local copy of my client's site with SSL enabled. I'm running the site locally on a Macbook Air using MAMP Pro 2.0.5. There didn't appear to be any online instructions for enabling SSL in MAMP Pro, at least not in 2.0.5.
The user interface for MAMP Pro makes SSL options available, including an "SSL" checkbox on the "General" tab of the default host "localhost", and a dedicated "SSL" tab for each host, but this is all disabled for "localhost".
After experiencing a few roadblocks, including MAMP Pro locking up every time I loaded it, which I corrected by deleting the settings file in ~/library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/settings.plist , I finally came up with a set of steps that work.
Select the "SSL" tab for your new host and create a "Self signed certificate"
You can setup another host with the same name, and aliases if you have added any, but you * must * explicitly set the port on the non-SSL host to 80. I was never successful at getting SSL on the "localhost" host, even after setting the ports appropriately for both "localhost" instances I had in my list.

I have a computer at both my workbench, where I program my engines, and one at my layout location. They are not portable, but all the PC's at my house are networked together (Windows XP clients and a Windows 2000 Server). I would like to store the roster and all else that is needed on the Windows 2000 server and be able to run copies of Decoder Pro on at lease two of the Windows XP PC's. Is that possible?
Configure the Windows machines so there's a shared directory, and then you can set the JMRI "advanced preferences" to put the roster information inside that.
Set up a shared directory.
Select which roster you want to start with (since there might be separate ones on different machines already). On that machine, find the "roster.xml" file and "roster" directory in the preferences directory.
For more information, please see the DecoderPro pages on the roster files and file locations.
Copy, _do not move_, the roster.xml file and roster folder to the shared folder. You must copy the _entire_ contents of the roster directory!
On each machine that is to use the shared roster, start DecoderPro, select Preferences from the Edit menu, and click "Show Advanced Preferences". The window will get bigger. Press "Set" under "Roster:" and follow directions.


One year later, we travelled to Indonesia for our honeymoon. We visited the places where we grew up, together with the places where the internment camps once were. It has always been my wish to do this. On 21 April 1992, Easter Tuesday, our plane leaves for our journey to the past at 20 minutes past three!
Jakarta (to us Batavia) was very big. The skyscrapers on the one side of the Pasar Ikan (the fishers market) and the slums on the other side immediately caught our eye. The ring road of Jakarta was extremely busy. Our taxi often stood still during traffic jams. The begging, extremely disabled persons were walking on the pavements, which we noticed more due to the traffic jams.
This was the last internment camp for both of us. A broad street was now where the porch used to be, without any gedek! You could just walk right through! On the right side, I was looking for the house with the garage in which I was cared for with the other sick children. A lot of students came out and I told them my story. They were very surprised to hear that they were living in a place that used to be the place of prisoners during WWII. It was an interesting meeting. We were also looking for the house where Jacques used to live with his mother, brother and a couple of families.


Cattle numbers shrank at Manitoba auction marts for the week ended March 30, as the latest U.S. Cattle on Feed report left an unsavoury taste in sellers' mouths.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Cattle on Feed report, released March 23, showed ranchers sent seven per cent more cattle to feedlots in February, compared to February last year. Persistent drought in the U.S. Plains has limited winter grazing in pastures, forcing cattle into feedlots.
Approximately 5,300 cattle ran through the province's major auction marts for the week ended March 30, down from the previous week when roughly 12,000 head were sold. On average, most auction marts had 600 head on offer; Heartland Livestock Services at Virden was an outlier, with 2,885 head. Three out of the eight major Manitoba auction marts did not hold sales due to the Easter holiday weekend.
Producers who bought calves back in the fall are trying to sell them, only to find out the price has dropped significantly, Munroe said.
Munroe thought the market was starting to stabilize a few weeks ago, but as Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures continued to drop, so did the price at Manitoba auction marts. On average, he estimated, prices dropped five cents per pound over the last week.
Munroe expects there aren't many surprises left for the market. There had been predictions for a large summer run; USDA's report supported those, with 11.7 million head in U.S. feedlots.
Feedlots around Lethbridge are full following the large fall run, dragging the market down. This is now carrying over to grass-fed calves, which is surprising, according to Munroe.
"It looked like (grass-fed calves) were where they were going to be (for price). But the six-weight steers were certainly down this week compared to last week," he said.
A low Canadian dollar is lending support to the Manitoba cattle market. Munroe said he has seen interest from U.S. buyers starting again.
"We are starting to see significant cattle go south again. For a long time… very few went and we are starting to see some of these buyers use their U.S. numbers through the sale," he said.
There has also been continued interest from Ontario buyers, which has been supportive for the market.

Double-Duty Means Double Fun for Dilbeck in Georgia
Racing at Crisp Motorsports Park in Cordele, Georgia is typically a fun occasion for Chris Dilbeck, a born and raised Georgia boy. But on Saturday he's scheduled to have double the fun as he'll be pulling double-duty, racing his Pro Late Model and a Super Late Model in the 125-lap Southern Super Series presented by Sunoco feature.
Running two races in one night is something that excites Dilbeck. The man in charge of sales at PFC Brakes at the NASCAR and Short Track levels doesn't exactly get to race very often, so racing twice in one night is especially rare.
One would think that two races in one night in the heat of southern Georgia in August would be exhausting, tiring and downright difficult, but Dilbeck said that isn't the hard part at all.
"It kind of gets you warmed up for the second race," Dilbeck said. "I think it helps you in a lot of ways. During practice it's a little daunting because you're back and forth from each car and have to remember the changes to each car. Once it's time for the race to come we focus on 50 laps for the Pro car and 125 for the Super. At that point the hard work is done."
The other hard part, according to Dilbeck, is getting the cars dialed in for the race. Saturday's Pro Late Model race is a make-up race from an earlier rain-out, so Dilbeck said the team will instead be focusing on getting the Super where it needs to be for that night's longer race.
"We're going to focus on the Super and get it dialed in and get the driver dialed in because I'm not as used to racing a Super as I am a Pro car. We're just going to work on it the majority of the time in practice and hope the Pro car is still where it needs to be."
One of the main reasons Dilbeck is running the Southern Super Series race at Cordele is to get their race car ready for the inaugural Speed51 Super Select event at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, Indiana on September 8. Dilbeck received an invite to the $10,000-to-win, winner-take-all event by virtue of winning the CARS Tour race at Hickory Motor Speedway (NC) back in May.
Dilbeck said the car he is taking is a brand-new race car prepared for Ronnie Whitlock of Whitlock Driver Development.
"He has a good relationship with Dawson Fletcher and he's been racing his Pro car some. We're going to run some races and get the Super dialed in for whenever Dawson is ready for it and get tuned up for the Super Select in a few weeks."
Like any race car driver, of course Dilbeck would like to win. That's always the ultimate goal. However, Dilbeck said there's other things that can happen on Saturday night that would have him feeling like it was a successful evening.
"If we can just keep the nose clean and be fairly competitive and run top five or so then we'll call it a success. We need to be able to make changes to the car and see how they fail and how it reacts to changes. That'll be a success and then we'll know that we're ready for Indy."
Dilbeck and the Southern Super Series will be in action this Saturday at Crisp Motorsports Park in Cordele, Georgia. Fans will be able to watch the event live via a pay-per-view broadcast on Speed51.com. Details will be announced soon.

I am finding there are so many ways that gratitude can be a comfort and a strength. It can be a place of stability. It can provide a sense of connection. It can bring to mind kindness.
Practicing gratitude is a way of consciously opening the flow of awareness and energy toward the foundational, nourishing aspects of my life.
It is a way of getting in touch with my needs, and often discovering that they are being met in ways I can easily overlook.
It is discovering a deep appreciation for aspects of my life that I can otherwise take for granted because they seem ordinary.
Forgoing appreciating all these things now feels like missing out on a deep and profound wellspring of sweetness. A wellspring of joy that's just waiting to be tapped in to, to be sipped and savored.

India is one of the fastest growing markets for electronics. The demand is projected to reach USD 400 Billion by 2020. Government of India (GoI) has launched the National Policy on Electronics 2012 (NPE 12) with the vision to make India a globally competitive destination for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) for both domestic as well as to serve the International market. The objectives of the Policy include significantly enhancing the availability of skilled manpower in the ESDM sector. Besides, India has large young talent and low wage costs.
The National Skill Development Policy which targets skilling of 500 million persons by 2022 has set a target for the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) to skill 10 million persons by 2022 in the domain of Electronics & ICT.
The NPE 2012 envisages employment for about 28 million at various levels. The Electronics Manufacturing sector has a lot of potential for large-scale employment of ITI graduates, Diploma holders, etc. Further, semi-skilled persons with appropriate training can also be employed/made readily employable. However, the present education/skill development system at both formal as well as non-formal level is not vibrant enough to meet the emerging requirement of the ESDM sector. Hence, it is essential for the Government to intervene and create an enabling environment for increasing the numbers of skill providers (both in public and private domain) to address the emerging human resource requirements for ESDM sector.
Keeping the above in view, the Government has launched two schemes for facilitating skill development in ESDM sector focussing on students/school drop-outs at 9-10th standard onwards, ITI, Diploma, Non-engineering graduates, unemployed youth, etc. (in-line with NVEQF) to increase their employability to work in 'Manufacturing' and 'Service support' functions. These schemes will run concurrently and are:
Scheme for Financial Assistance to select 06 (six) States/UTs for Skill Development in Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector.
Skill Development in ESDM for Digital India (for the rest of the country)
The instant schemes are an initiative which aims at facilitating creation of an eco-system of Skill Development in ESDM sector in the country to meet the emerging requirements of skilled human resource in this sector.
The schemes are targeted to cover 4,18,000 candidates in all the States/UTs
The total Grant-in-Aid id Rs 455 crores (approx) and the total outlay for both the schemes is Rs 524 c

Innovation in Digital Publishing
Digital Publishing – Are the best things in life free?
Digital Publishing – Open Access
Digital Publishing – Experimentation
Digital Publishing – Communities
This post is one of a series from participants in the Innovation in Digital Publishing in the Humanities session at the American Historical Association 2015 Annual Meeting in New York, co-presented by the Wellcome Trust and The New York Academy of Medicine's Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health.
By Lisa Norberg, Dean, Barnard Library and Academic Information Services
Open Access (OA), despite all the questions, issues, and anxieties it evokes, presents the biggest opportunity for innovation in digital publishing. OA offers scholars the opportunity to leverage digital networked technologies in ways that expand the distribution of their scholarship, generate new ideas, build knowledge, and enrich society. It has the potential to foster and deepen the connections between the academy and the wider public, support new forms of education delivery, and help address in part some of higher education's current funding crises.
How OA provides opportunities for innovation may be less obvious. Typically, we rely on market forces to drive innovation, but let's look at how at least one segment of the market is working for us these days. Commercial journal publishers are reaping some pretty healthy profits, but aside from the competition to develop an overly complicated user-interface (often in response to pressure from librarians), I haven't seen a great deal of innovation. Nor am I seeing a lot of innovation coming out of the average university press. As Mark Edington of Amherst College Press points out, "What was never intended to be a system left to the vicissitudes of the market has become exactly that."
I might even go so far as to suggest that, in the case of scholarly publishing, the market has inhibited innovation. In the same way most people prefer to buy a song or two rather than an entire album, most researchers really only care about one or two articles in any given journal issue or a chapter or two of any given book. At a time when the customer is demanding unbundling, publishers have continued to push collections of journals, the so-called "big deal"—innovative, yes, but not in a good way. Even in the broader economy, the "firm-based" or "closed innovation" model (i.e., one reliant on internal R&D) is giving way to models of "open innovation" where firms partner with other firms, institutions, and individuals to generate new ideas and fuel innovation.
If OA presents an opportunity for digital innovation, perhaps the answer to the second half of this question—"what is the biggest challenge to digital publishing?"—is how we make OA-driven innovation sustainable. We could start by looking at Silicon Valley, a region synonymous with sustained innovation, having survived numerous cycles of boom and bust. According to Henton and Held, the secret sauce is serious investments in the broader social, educational, and network infrastructure needed to support technological innovation. One could argue this is just the kind of investment that digital publishing could use. Instead, the majority of the funding for scholarly communication currently comes from academic and research library subscriptions (see Figure 1).
Global Funding Sources for Journal Article Publishing and Distribution Current funding for the estimated global costs of $10.3 billion (£6.4bn) for the publishing and distribution of journals comes almost entirely from subscriptions by academic (52%) and other (11%) libraries and the (often unpaid) labor of researchers themselves, who do the peer review (29%). Other sources of funding—from advertising (3%), from individual memberships and subscriptions (2%), and from "author-side" (e.g., APC) payments—is comparatively minimal. Source: Research Information Network, "Activities, Costs and Funding Flows in the Scholarly Communications System: Key Findings" (Nov. 2008) (Copyright: CC BY-NC-SA)
What if academic publishing adopted a new model of funding built on collaborative alliances across a wide variety of institutions and a range of stakeholders? What if those funds were raised to invest in the infrastructure needed to sustain digital publishing innovation over time? My colleague Rebecca Kennison and I describe just such a model in a white paper we authored in 2014. Our idea is to take a "social innovation" approach to developing a sustainable digital publishing infrastructure that supports innovation. We call it the Open Access Network (OAN). It encourages partnerships among scholarly societies, research libraries, and other institutional partners (e.g., collaborative e-archives and university presses) that share a common mission to support the creation, distribution, and preservation of research and scholarship. The OAN acts as an incubator of sorts to fund collaborative projects that enable scholarly societies and university presses to make their publications open and ideally reusable. These funds would provide a steady and reliable source of income so stakeholders can innovate and begin to develop the social, educational, and network infrastructure needed to sustain a vibrant, innovative and open digital publishing enterprise. It is a bold plan—some say audacious—but at the same time is incremental, even conservative. Just like the academy.
So I end where I began. OA does offer enormous opportunities for innovation in digital publishing—if we have the resolve to tackle the challenge of developing the infrastructure needed to sustain it.

by Ed Biggs Last Thursday's announcement of a new Blur album triggered an avalanche of excited social media reaction. Not only are they the most fondly-remembered band from the Britpop era alongside their great rivals Oasis, but they left behind a body of work that, by and large, has stood up to the test of time. Their summer reunion tours of 2009 and 2012 are the stuff of legend, but

Q: Create a list from a dictioanary I have a dictionary
{'about': {'advertise.html': True, 'staff.html': True, 'vacancy.html': True},
 'articles': {'2017': {'12': {'19': {'900588.html': True}}}},
 'columns': {'2016': {'8': {'5': {'825413.html': True}}},
             '2017': {'9': {'8': {'886260.html': True}}}},
 'culture': {'2012': {'8': {'28': {'595498.html': True}}}},
 'economy': {'2013': {'5': {'23': {'633905.html': True}}},
             '2017': {'12': {'22': {'900782.html': True}}},
             '2018': {'7': {'27': {'934361.html': True},
                            '28': {"1111111.html"}}}},
 'hournews': True
 }

It is necessary to write down all the paths on the list.
In this example, it should be like this:
["about","advertise.html"]
["about","staff.html"]
["about", ,"vacancy.html"]
["articles","2017","12","19","900588.html"]
["columns","2016","8","5","825413.html"]
["columns","2017","9","8","886260.html"]
["culture","2012","8","28","595498.html"]
["hournews"]

How can I do that?
my code:
def get_node(path,tree):
    for name,val in tree.items():
        if type(val) == dict:
            path.append(name)
            get_node(path,val)
            path = path[:-1]
    else:
        print(path)
get_node([],tree)

it returns me something like this
['redir', '?source=vz_hour_news', 'news', '2018', '7', 'economy', '2018', '7', 'politics', '2018', '7', 'society', '2018', '7', 'world', '2018', '7', 'incidents', '2018', '6', 'opinions', '2018', '7', 'video', '2018', '6', 'photo', '2018', '7', 'vote', 'sport', '2018', '7', 'columns', '2017', '9', 'culture', '2012', '8', 'articles', '2017', '12']

but must return
["redir","?source=vz_hour_news","&id=934685","&vzurl=news/2018/7/29/934685.html"]
["redir","?source=vz_index_author", "&id=934134", "'&vzurl=opinions/2018/7/25/934134.html"]

A: Here is a solution using a generator: we explore the dict recursively, building the path while going down. Each time we hit a leaf of the structure, we yield the current path.
d = {'about': {'advertise.html': True, 'staff.html': True, 'vacancy.html': True},
 'articles': {'2017': {'12': {'19': {'900588.html': True}}}},
 'columns': {'2016': {'8': {'5': {'825413.html': True}}},
             '2017': {'9': {'8': {'886260.html': True}}}},
 'culture': {'2012': {'8': {'28': {'595498.html': True}}}},
 'economy': {'2013': {'5': {'23': {'633905.html': True}}},
             '2017': {'12': {'22': {'900782.html': True}}},
             '2018': {'7': {'27': {'934361.html': True},
                            '28': {"1111111.html":True}}}},
 'hournews': True
 }

def paths(d, current_path=None):
    if current_path is None:
        current_path = []

    if isinstance(d, dict):
        for key, value in d.items():
            yield from paths(value, current_path + [key])
    else:
        yield current_path

print(list(paths(d)))
