New formats, new technologies, new business models – and the creative solutions required to bring them to life.
Within this seminar, delegates from different children's media backgrounds came together to discuss modern practices and inventive functions of children's apps and media content.
Trevor Klein, Digital Strategist and Producer, kicked off by showcasing a short form, the CBBC series 'Secret Life of Boys', an interactive comedy for the touchscreen generation. It enables children to interact with a linear story by making onscreen buttons available that lead to extra gags or dialogue. As it was essential to enhance the interactivity and heighten the overall quality for the genre, the team conducted screen tests and ran focus groups to help polish the product.
Suzanne Kelly, Series Producer at RTÉ, followed with RTÉ's new app, Swipe TV. She explained how kids aged 7-12 weren't using traditional websites and were using more app technology so RTÉ had to capitalise. With development help from Amuzo and The Little Big Partnership, Swipe TV averages "120,000 views per month" and boasts a range of single short-form content that can be turned full series through tracking demographics.
Nick Marsh, Head of Product, Lost My Name, discussed working with the Lost My Name books and how they have created their own 'Full Stack Publishing' model of business meaning they do the entire process of publishing. He emphasised how customer interaction and satisfaction was top priority, so much so that through great service and sales, they are currently organising a deal with the Chinese market.
The talk came to a conclusion as Stephen Scott, Managing Director of Bigmouth Audio, walked us through 'Once Upon a Time in Zombieville', a new audio series that provides children with visual impairments a new experience to enjoy with their family. Not many audio series are marketed for kids so with development assistance from the BBC and ample funding, this series works toward bridging the gap. To further enrich the experience, Stephen will introduce sensory toys into the stories as the series develops.
On the whole, the seminar demonstrated that with the right team of people and innovative thinking, you can create something diverse and ground-breaking for children to enjoy.

Q: Python, syntax error using "if, elif" I'm new to Python and while trying to write a scrip that will keep asking questions about the user until the scrip gets FALSE,
I decided to check the scrip,of course it gave me an syntax error that told me the mistake was on the fifth lane, `a.
Now on that lane I tried to change the old value of a to a new value.
sadly, I can't understand the mistake that I made, can some one please check it and explain me what went wrong ?
    #!/usr/bin/python

print "Hello, I'm wilfred and I'm an Artificial Intelligence\n"

a=str(raw_input("Do you want to be my friend? \n"))

if a=="yes":
a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?\n"))
    if a==str :
        print "Nice name man!"
    elif a==int :
        print "bye!"
elif a=="no":
    print "Well, nice to meet you anway, good bye now \n"

A: Your line
a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?\n")

*

*Indent this line so it is inside the 'if' statement

*Add a ')' at the end of this line

A: You just need to indent the line. Your code should work fine. Keep learning python. It's awesome!!!!
#!/usr/bin/python

print "Hello, I'm wilfred and I'm an Artificial Intelligence\n"

a=str(raw_input("Do you want to be my friend? \n"))

if a=="yes":
    a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?\n"))
    if a==str :
        print "Nice name man!"
    elif a==int :
        print "bye!"
elif a=="no":
    print "Well, nice to meet you anway, good bye now \n"

To further help with the test cases, I changed your string and int tests for you. "==" test is for value btw.
#!/usr/bin/python

print "Hello, I'm wilfred and I'm an Artificial Intelligence\n"

a=str(raw_input("Do you want to be my friend? \n"))

if a=="yes":
    a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?\n"))
    if a.isalpha() :
        print "Nice name man!"
    elif a.isdigit() :
        print "bye!"
elif a=="no":
    print "Well, nice to meet you anway, good bye now \n"

A: A general structure for this kind of repeating loop is

NCEA Level 1 changes give students a broader foundation
Hon Chris Hipkins
The Government is making changes to NCEA Level 1 to ensure it remains a strong, credible qualification that supports young people into employment and further education, Education Minister Chris Hipkins said today.
"Last term, the Government initiated a wide-scale review of the National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA), involving consultation with thousands of New Zealanders, both in the education sector and more widely," Chris Hipkins said.
"Having listened carefully to those voices, the Ministry of Education is now in a position to begin implementing changes to the subjects that will be offered for assessment at NCEA Level 1 from 2023.
"It's become clear that over the years, greater specialisation has crept into Level 1, which has led to students narrowing their options too soon.
"These subject changes are carefully designed to give students a broader foundation at the start of NCEA and more pathways for their learning, as well as reducing workload for teachers and students.
"They will support learners to gain the key skills, knowledge and competencies needed for a strong foundation before more specialised learning starts from Level 2.
"The Ministry looked at whether a subject provides broad, foundational learning, prepares learners for more advanced study on related subjects, and supports the Crown's commitments under the Treaty of Waitangi."
Chris Hipkins said the finalisation of the subjects marked the beginning of one of a series of modifications that will be made gradually over the next four years, and comes after the Government made NCEA free to sit for all New Zealanders.
The number of subjects offered for assessment will be reduced by 10 to 32.
Key changes at Level 1 include:
Broadening access to a strong science curriculum by consolidating Physics with Earth & Space Science, and Chemistry with Biology, along with a new general nature of science subject. This will provide for more coherent learning, and reduce the number of standards from 41 to 16. Agricultural and Horticultural science remains unchanged, but will have new standards developed.
Latin will be removed at all NCEA levels due to low and steadily declining enrolments. Less than 200 students from around 10 schools study Latin per year, with only 25 students continuing through to Level 3.
Māori Performing Arts is a new subject at Level 1.
Specialised subjects such as Art History, Classical Studies, Media Studies and Psychology will no longer be offered at Level 1. However, these subjects can be offered from Level 2, which allows for more specialisation.
"All Level 1 subjects are expected to be developed by the end of 2021 so they can be piloted in schools in 2022 and offered to all students from 2023."
Chris Hipkins said the Ministry continues to develop the subjects derived from Te Marautanga ō Aotearoa (TMoA), the Māori medium curriculum. These subjects include Pāngarau, Hauora, Pūtaiao, Te Reo Rangatira, Tikanga-ā-iwi, Hangarau and Ngā Toi.
No changes were proposed to those subjects during public engagement on the provisional subject list and final confirmation of TMoA subjects is expected in early 2021.
As part of the wider NCEA Change Programme, mandatory literacy and numeracy standards will be introduced from 2023 to help ensure everyone who has an NCEA qualification has a good level of foundational literacy and numeracy. The standards will be externally assessed and students will need to achieve them in order to be awarded any level of NCEA qualification.
The draft literacy and numeracy standards will be piloted in Terms 3 and 4 of the 2021 school year. A wider pilot of the standards will take place in 2022 to ensure the sector is ready for the change before implementation in 2023.

Vitamin E benefit Alzheimer's patients
A high dose of vitamin E daily has in a double - blind, placebo-controlled study shown to reduce the progression of Alzheimer's disease by 19% compared with placebo in elderly people who had the disease in mild to moderate degree.
Researchers from Chicago, Illinois recruited 613 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's to participate in their study. The participants were randomly divided into one of four groups: The first group received 1000 international units (IU) of vitamin E twice daily, the second group received 20 mg per day of the Alzheimer's drug Memantine, the third group received the combination of vitamin E and Memantine and the last group received a corresponding placebo.
Monotherapy best
There were 561 patients who completed the study which showed that during nearly 2.5 years, the grup that only received vitamin E, experienced a slower functional decline compared with the placebo group. The patient's need of caregiver time was also lower in the vitamin E group, compared with the placebo group. These improvements corresponded to a period of 6.2 months. There was no observed difference between the placebo group and the group only receiving the Alzheimer's medication. However, more surprising was that there was not found a difference between the group receiving the combination of Alzheimer's medication and vitamin E and the placebo group.
No increased mortality was found in the vitamin E group. On the contrary, the mortality from all causes was 7.3% in the vitamin E group versus 9.4% in the placebo group.
The study is one of the longest and largest treatment studies of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is also the first study on a larger scale that have examined the effectiveness of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E ) in this patient population. With this study we see an example of a vitamin used in a therapeutic dose that works better than a drug. The study also shows that vitamin E is a very safe preparation.
Dysken MW, et al. Effect of Vitamin E and Memantine on Functional Decline in Alzheimer Disease - The TEAM-AD VA Cooperative Randomized Trial. JAMA 2014:311(1):33-44.
About Alzheimer's Disease
The disease results in declining brain function and dementia. Symptoms often develop slowly, often beginning with poor memory and impaired ability to function in everyday life. Personality changes, behavioral disorders and depression often increases as the disease progresses. The disease process has an average duration of approx. 8-10 years.

Q10 goes by many names
Q10 is known by so many different names that one easily gets confused. Here is a list of the many synonyms for Q10 in its two forms:
Ubiquinone:
◊ Oxidized Q10 ◊ Normal Q10 ◊ CoQ10 ◊ Ubikinon ◊ Ubiquinone ◊ Ubidecarenone ◊ 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinone
Ubiquinol:
◊ Reduced Q10 ◊ Active Q10 ◊ CoQH ◊ Ubikinol ◊ Ubiquinol ◊ QH ◊ QH2 ◊ QX ◊ 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol
Is there really a difference? Is ubiquinol better than ubiquinone?
Ubiquinone or Ubiquinol - does it really matter?
Check this before you buy a Q10 product
Bio-availability and documentation are key points
Studies show that the best bio-availability is obtained when the active compound is dissolved in an oil of some sort and encapsulated in soft, light-protected (light destroys Q10) gelatin. There are many products out there that meet these requirements. However, this is not in any way a guarantee that they are absorbed well. The only way to make sure that a product has good bio-availability and is safe for consumption is to contact the manufacturer and ask for documentation for the following:
- that the product is non-crystalline
Q10 as a raw material consists of crystals which are not easily absorbed in the digestive system. It is therefore vital to transform the Q10 raw material to a homogenous and assimilable form that can ensure good bio-availability in the body. This would require the Q10 to be dispersed in oil, just like it would require the manufacturer to be familiar with the technique and patented method employed to change the Q10 molecules into a non-crystalline form.
- that the product is nature-identical
This entails that the Q10 molecules in the product are completely identical with the Q10 that the human body synthesizes in relatively small quantities. The body is not able to distinguish between nature-identical Q10 and the endogenously synthesized Q10.

Reigate and Banstead renews contract with Civica Xpress
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council renews Civica Xpress partnership
Surrey-based council returns to Civica's Xpress electoral management software to ensure complete and accurate management of full election process
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council is improving the election experience for its 108,000 electorate via a new partnership with Civica's Xpress election management system.
The Council has returned to public sector software provider Civica in a new long-term contract to ensure a complete and accurate electoral register and smooth elections process, ahead of the 2023 elections.
The Xpress platform will improve the efficiency of managing elections and registration as well as giving administrators an insight into how the electorate is changing and assist with potential boundary changes.
The software will efficiently manage the large volume of applications and comprehensive checking procedures handled by the election staff, allowing the team to administer complex and sensitive data in a GDPR compliant and secure manner.
Reigate can maximise flexibility within the platform to meet future legislation and challenges such as voter ID, changes to the postal vote refresh period and the overseas voting franchise.
Alex Vine,
Democratic and Electoral Services Manager,
Reigate and Banstead
It's vital that our register remains accurate and complete to ensure voters remain as engaged as possible with elections. Our renewed partnership with Civica's Xpress platform will mean we can offer a highly reliable service. Ultimately this will mean a better experience at the polling station for our electorate and confidence in the results
Civica worked with Reigate and Banstead to convert both current and historical electoral registration data over to the new system, all complete within two months to allow a smooth transition back to the Xpress platform in time for the start of the 2022 canvass.
Sian Roberts,
Councils need a trusted system to deliver elections with integrity and accuracy, in an ever-changing electoral landscape. We're delighted to continue supporting Reigate and Banstead to ensure its electoral processes run smoothly into 2023 and beyond.
This latest news follows Warrington Borough Council also returning to Civica Xpress in 2022.

I drink margaritas year-round, but they taste best in the summer. Apples come into season in the U.S. in the fall, but can (and I think should) also be enjoyed year-round. Thus, there's no reason why the tart brightness of a Granny Smith apple can't find it's way into a refreshing margarita.
While you can buy a sour apple liqueur, I find it unappealing (a friend recently likened it to a Jolly Rancher). It's pretty easy to extract fresh apple flavor. Here, I've used a blender to puree Granny Smith apples while also mixing them with agave nectar to form a syrup--basically an agave-sweetened apple cider. You don't have to peel the apples--the peel reminds behind with the pulp during the straining. If you want, you could strain with cheesecloth, but it would take longer, and I don't mind a little cloudiness in this drink.
This technique was inspired by Jeffrey Morgenthaler's recipe for making ginger syrup, which uses a similar technique to blend fresh ginger with sugar. Morgenthaler just released a great cocktail book, The Bar Book, which I'll talk more about soon.
I used blanco tequila (sometimes called silver tequila) for its clean profile. Instead of the usual orange liqueur, I went with ginger, which complements apple so well, and a couple dashes of Fee Brothers whiskey barrel-aged bitters, which have a noticeable cinnamon flavor that's perfect in this drink.
Enjoy an apple margarita while eating Chicken and Apple Tacos.
Combine ingredients (except the garnish) in a shaker with ice. Shake until cold and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with lemon wheel.
Combine apples, agave and boiling water in a blender. Blend at high speed until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Yields about 1 cup (8 oz.).
This post reminds me how margarita-deficient I feel these days. Let's change that this weekend.

Share this Story: No ticket turnaround
No ticket turnaround
Ian MacAlpine
A local woman is upset she received a parking ticket in downtown Kingston recently because, she alleges, the ticket was flipped around making it difficult for the bylaw officer to read.
Janet Gollan, a retired public school teacher and grandmother, was parked on Ontario Street on Sept. 25 visiting a friend in the Landmark Condominium.
Gollan said she paid the maximum amount on the machine for about two hours parking for her car.
She said the ticket may have moved when she put the receipt on her dashboard.
"It was a windy day so when you shut the doors it spins," she said.
When she came back to her car to see the ticket tucked under her windshield wiper she thought she
was over her limit of parking time.
"It was only when I was paying it on the computer that I read it and this isn't over time at all," she said.
On the ticket, which Gollan still has, says "park fail to display pay display receipt" and in the note portion of the ticket it says "receipt upside down no time visible."
"I thought it was perfectly silly," Gollan said.
She maintains that the ticket was not placed on the dashboard upside down.
"I don't know which way the ticket has to be turned," she said. "I assume they wanted it turned so they don't have to twist their head around."
She said she rarely gets parking tickets.
"I can't remember the last time I got a ticket."
Gollan said she's waiting for her next trip downtown to check out the fine print on her next pay-and-display receipt.
Kim Leonard, manager of licensing and enforcement at the City of Kingston said as long as the ticket is facing up the bylaw officer will be able to read it, spun around or not.
"Our officers would look at the ticket upside down, they'd look at it sideways, they'd look at it as long as it was facing up and can see the time and date," Leonard said.
"Often when you close the door it will blow over and you can't read it and when they can't read it or can't see it then they would issue a ticket."
In that situation, said Leonard, all you would have to do is to go to City Hall with the pay-and-display receipt and the parking ticket and if it can be proved that the ticket was issued while there was still time on the receipt, the ticket will be cancelled.
She said about a dozen tickets are refunded daily due to the pay-and-display receipts flipping over.
After speaking to The Whig-Standard Leonard spoke to the bylaw officer who maintained that the ticket was facing down and unreadable.
Leonard said the city would refund the payment to Gollan if she still had the receipt.
But Gollan is out of luck for a refund as she no longer has the receipt.
"I can't stand them on my windshield when I'm driving," she said.

The Reilly T325 provides a very smooth ride with the sort of handling that will allow sporty types to indulge their performance aspirations. It's fast and very direct. It's a worthy alternative to a carbon fibre race bike.
Mark Reilly has been designing and building frames for 30 years, but this is the first time he has put his own name to a frame. There's also steel and carbon fibre frames on offer too. I've been riding the T325, the most affordable in his range of titanium frames.
It costs £1,599 for the frame or £1,978 with a Reilly carbon fork and Chris King Inset 7 headset. There's also an Enve fork option, which pushes the price up to £2,099. And if you want disc brakes there is a model with discs. Reilly supplied a bike equipped with Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset and matching Shimano wheels and a mix of Deda, 3T and Fizik finishing kit. Complete bike weight is 7.86kg (17.33lb).
For the T325, Reilly has used 3Al/2.5V double butted seamless titanium. You can see where the name has come from. It's a very common flavour of titanium amongst frame builders. Reilly has looked to increase the stiffness factor by oversizing the main tubes and the head tube, which is 44mm. These design details make sense for a frame that is intended to be at home in a road race or fast sportive. Frame weight is a claimed 1,275g. It's only giving away a few hundred grams to a carbon fibre alternative. If you're buying titanium, though, weight likely isn't top of your list of priorities.
With increasing requests for wider tyres from the cycling community, the T325 will accommodate 28mm tyres. Despite the racy intentions and oversized main tubes, Reilly has retained a traditional English threaded bottom bracket. The seat tube accepts a 31.6mm seat post keeping with the clear stiffness message this frame communicates, instead of the more common 27.2mm seat post to provide additional comfort benefits. This frame is Di2-specific as well, but you can opt for regular mechanical cable routing if you don't want an electronic drivetrain.
Titanium has become a lot more affordable in the last decade, and the quality on offer even at this price is commendable. The frame is beautifully finished, with compact cowled dropouts and shapely rear stays. It's all finished with an elegant typeface on the down tube that provides a visually seductive appearance.
The Reilly T325 gives a sprightly ride once you stop admiring its appearance and get it out on the road. Escape the busy city streets and get it into the countryside and the T325 really starts to win you over. There's the smoothness you expect of a titanium frame, but it's not at all soft or vague, if anything it's stiffer and more direct than many titanium bikes I've ridden over the years.
Where the T325 most impresses is on the descents. The sensation when you bank it into a wide fast turn is quite exceptional. The small amount of initial flex helps to smooth out rough road surfaces that can unsettle a stiffer bike mid-corner. It's no slouch on the climbs, and the front-end doesn't is reassuringly stiff under load. I didn't get to race the T325, but I reckon it would be right at home in a race, maybe with some deep section wheels to boost the speed.
Titanium has a distinctive ride character, and cycling journalists can easily get too wrapped up in the 'magical properties of titanium' and its 'springy ride'. Not all titanium bikes ride the same, and that's the case here: the T325 rides very differently to the Van Nicholas Chinook I reviewed recently, a bike that is arguably showing its age. In comparison, the Reilly is stiffer and more direct. A more favourable comparison is the Enigma Evade Ti. It really helps you when you're trying hard to extract every last watt out of your legs in top gear when chasing you mates up a hill or racing for the village sign.
Helping to give a focus on going fast is the geometry. With the short head tube, it puts you in a head-down position, and the compact rear triangle keeps the handling sharp and pointy. It's not as relaxing or stable to ride as the Chinook, but it's more eager to indulge your desire to go fast. If you're reading this and thinking it's not for you, Reilly will do a bespoke geometry to better suit your riding requirements.
Titanium might not be a cutting-edge material, and it's a long time since Greg LeMond raced a Merlin Extra Light in the early 90s, but the material is getting more popular all the time with cyclists who yearn for something different. While many people look to harness titanium in an endurance bike designed for all-day comfort, the Reilly T325 goes in the other direction and is full of speed, sharp handling and playfulness. If riding fast is high on your list of priorities, be sure to check out the T325.

OPINION: Is the future renewable for China?
by Brian Wilson
China is the world's biggest polluter, yet also the world's biggest investor in renewable energy
China's dash for world leadership in clean energy technologies has been one of the most significant developments in the global energy scene over the past few years and its implications are insufficiently recognised.
I well remember my own visits to China in the last decade when the prevailing mantra was still that coal was the fuel of the future as well as the past, and the world could like it or lump it.
China was then building new coal-fired power stations by the hundreds.
This created a sense close to despair about the whole climate change agenda.
All the efforts to reduce emissions seemed forlorn when set against the continuing attitude of the Chinese, which was essentially that coal is what we have, so coal is what we will use. The best hope was that the new plants would be less dirty than the old ones.
The policy shift since then has been dramatic and has been led from the top. The country's own awful problems with coal-generated pollution have been hugely influential.
So too has been the identification of a massive economic opportunity – to achieve world leadership in technologies like solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles.
A report by Australia's Institute for Energy Economics concluded that the move away from coal has disposed of "a strategic posture which has burdened China's power companies and limited their appetite for innovative new clean energy technologies". All that has changed and the appetite for global as well as domestic transition is voracious.
Domestically, China is now by far the world's biggest investor in renewable energy. In 2016 it was, according to the International Energy Agency, responsible for 41% of additional renewable capacity, with a figure of 50% for solar.
Having created this massive domestic market, supported by its own manufacturing capacity, China is in an extremely strong position to export worldwide.
Last year Chinese companies invested £33 billion in clean energy projects all over the world.
By setting itself up as a global leader in green technologies, it is gaining political as well as economic influence in regions which are also rich in natural resources such as nickel and cobalt, which China is eager to acquire for its own production needs.
And so the cycle has developed at an extraordinary pace within the space of just a few years.
The Chinese government is now committed to creating the world's largest carbon market in which about 1,700 utilities will be required to pay for the right to release carbon dioxide.
The initiative is meant to encourage further transition from fossil fuels to renewables. It will cover more carbon emissions than the European Union's entire carbon market and will increase the proportion of global carbon emissions covered by some kind of pricing mechanism by 25%.
China's move is highly significant as it joins the EU in placing a price on carbon while the US, under its current administration, retreats from action on emissions and seeks desperately to sustain and expand reliance on coal.
Once again, this plays straight into a political narrative that is favourable to China. Perceptions are in the process of being reversed. Instead of being identified as the world's most guilty polluter, China can now present an image of responsibility by embracing the challenge of climate change and putting its money where its mouth is. In contrast, the US under Trump has reneged on the Paris Agreement.
This is far from being the whole story. China has not given up on coal and has been criticised for exporting new coal plants, particularly to its near neighbours. It continues to be the world's leading polluter with carbon emissions still destined to rise, albeit much more slowly, because of the drive for economic growth.
However, perception counts for a lot – and on that score, China is now winning the environmental battle which seemed impossible a decade ago.
The new direction of travel is also a good fit with the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to generate an infrastructure boom along ancient land and sea silk trading routes which link China to Central and South Asia as well as the Middle East.
This extraordinarily ambitious masterplan aims to tie together more than half the world's population in 28 countries and mobilise vast investment potential, creating a vast sphere of political and economic influence.
As the IEE report notes: "China has been laying the groundwork for this initiative for years, earmarking large state-owned enterprises for internationalisation… the nation's power companies have been turning their attention increasingly overseas in search of renewable energy investment opportunities. Belt and Road gives this shift momentum".
The Belt and Road Initiative presents a huge dilemma for Western governments.
Either they embrace it and work to share in the investment opportunities it will create – which was the strategy pursued by David Cameron when he was Prime Minister – or else they can try to undermine it for fear that it will lead to a massive economic and political shift towards China.
However, the problem with the latter approach – which is the one favoured by both the United States and Theresa May – is that they may be trying to thwart something that is largely outside their control and that most of the countries potentially involved will succumb to the prospect of large-scale Chinese investment.
With clean energy projects now in the vanguard of the Chinese offensive and, specifically of the Belt and Road Initiative, the transformation proceeds apace.
China may still be the world's biggest polluter, and its most coal-dependent economy, but it is the direction of travel that matters – and the Chinese government of today are showing themselves to be as astute as the silk traders of the past.

A favourite holiday tradition has been shelved at CFB Esquimalt due to ongoing construction at the base's dockyard.
The annual Navy Lighting Contest, where decorated ships and buildings are displayed and the public may vote for their favourites, attracted nearly 5,800 visitors last December.
"I fully recognize that the (event) has become a tradition for many of us, including our neighbours in the community," said base commander Capt. (Navy) Bob Auchterlonie.
The lighting contest has also seen the base act as a cash and food drop-off point for the Mustard Seed Food Bank. Upwards of $20,000 worth of annual donations was collected in recent years.
Officials hope the event will be revived in 2013.


Static Wave is a study of unfixed materials. Electricity becomes organic, shifting from the chaos of static signals to the transient substance of a wave. Both forms are instantly recognizable, but neither is constant. Initially, they might suggest a dissolution of the material world into the digital present. This is a seductively pessimistic take on today's technological climate. My aim, however, is for Static Wave to complicate this idea, by reversing the equation. Digital dissolution becomes physical. The immaterial screen constructs a material world, alien to the natural but fully embodied.

Trump calls Erdogan congratulates him over Turkish referendum
Published by Family Writers
US President Donald Trump has called his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to congratulate him on victory in a referendum that boosts his power and plays a key role in the future of the country and the rest of the region.
He made the call Monday after the 'Yes' campaign won over 51 percent of the votes during Sunday's referendum, while the 'No' campaign gained nearly 49 percent.
The reforms will change Turkey's parliamentary system into a presidential one; the office of the prime minister will be abolished; the president will appoint the cabinet and an undefined number of vice-presidents, and will be able to select and remove senior civil servants without parliamentary approval.
The changes would also potentially keep Erdogan in power until 2029.
The American president's congratulatory tone appears to run counter to an earlier statement by the US State Department, asserting that the referendum took place in an environment where "fundamental freedoms essential to a genuinely democratic process were curtailed."
Apart from congratulating, thanking and voicing support for Erdogan, Trump also talked about his recent missile attack against the Syrian government.
He made the call to "congratulate him on his recent referendum victory and to discuss the United States' action in response to the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons," according to a White House release.
Two US Navy destroyers fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Mediterranean Sea at Syria's al-Shayrat airfield late on April 7 in retaliation for a suspected chemical attack that Washington blamed on Syrian fighter jets operating from the base.
Syria has denied carrying out the attack, maintaining that it was a false-flag one to criminalize Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Q: Git backups: can I copy a git bare repository while it's being pushed to? At our firm, we're experimenting with moving from svn to git. We want to make this simple for teams, while not burdening the sysadmins too much.
We've found a way to do this by making a bare repository on a (Windows) network drive that each team has, and push/pull to/from that. Authentication is arranged through file access permissions, so no need to set up https and the whole auth stuff. Great! (and we can access the drive remotely via VPN, so it's really almost as good as a https or git+ssh solution)
Better yet, we'll even get backups for free, because the network share is already being backed up. However, this backup runs rather unpredictably (backup up lasts several hours, so might continue onto the next working day).
Thus, it is possible that the drive is being backed up while a developer is pushing to the repository. With SVN, this could cause problems, which is why svn hotcopy exists.
Does the same risk exist with git? Can I copy a bare repository somewhere while someone is pushing to it? Naturally, it's all right if the push-being-done cannot be restored. It's also fine if some work has to be done to restore a backup that was made while it was pushed to (i.e. by removing the half-done push residue data). But if the entire bare repository becomes broken and unusable, then that's a problem.
I've done some experiments and couldn't see problems, but this does not mean that there can't be any.
Edit: I accepted a 'do it the right way' answer, because that's what I intend doing in the long run. For now, however, for us a simple solution has been to git clone the entire bare repository (onto the same drive) about an hour before the automated backup kicks in. The automated backup may incorrectly copy the "real" repository if it has been in use at that point, but it will not have trouble with the recently cloned copy. We know when the backup starts, just not when it ends, so that's good enough for us.

A: It may be worth changing your backup policy to ignore backing up the whole Git repository and instead backup a Git bundle. From Git's Little Bundle of Joy:

The bundle command will package up everything that would normally be pushed over the wire with a git push command into a binary file that you can email or sneakernet around, then unbundle into another repository.

This approach is also discussed in Backup of github repo and Backup a Local Git Repository.
A quick test of a local repo reveals the following creates a single file that contains everything one would typically want in a full repo backup:
$ git bundle create ../my.bundle --all

Creating a clone from the bundle file is simply:
$ git clone my.bundle my-repo

Using git ls-remote my.bundle shows that all tags and branches are in the bundle.
However, to backup things that are probably not in the bundle file (like configuration, hooks, grafts, alternates, etc.), I would take the backup a few steps further and backup the Git repository (short the objects, refs and logs directories) and the bundle file (the contents of the objects and refs repository directories are in the bundle and not needed). Unless the bundle does contain these files; then you only need to backup the bundle.

A: How do you deal with other files what could be modified during backup procedure?
If you handle this situation already, you could use the same approach here. Otherwise you might get broken files anywhere, either in git, or in svn, or even in bare TXT.

Chips & SoCs
And, the winner is eFPGA
By Alok Sanghavi
Often, a standalone FPGA cannot deliver the needed performance or meet system power and cost goals. Enter the embedded FPGA (eFPGA), the SoC designer?s secret weapon to meet design goals.
The biggest concern of any system or SoC architect is risk and how to mitigate it. They are left to wonder:
Will standards change before their product with hardened system functions hits the market?
What if newly introduced features don't quite address the need?
How can the design be future-proofed?
Traditionally, a system architect would try to isolate at-risk portions of the design to programmable logic. Often, a standalone FPGA cannot deliver the needed performance or meet system power and cost goals. Enter the embedded FPGA (eFPGA), the SoC designer's secret weapon to meet design goals while mitigating risk. Compared to using a standalone FPGA, adding an eFPGA to an SoC achieves a more flexible design, lower power, higher performance and lower overall system costs.
Advantages of selecting an eFPGA over an FPGA are numerous. First, eFPGAs deliver smaller die areas when compared to standalone FPGAs because the entire I/O functionality that allows chip-to-chip connectivity on a PCB is eliminated and the embedded fabric is sized specifically to application requirements. Because the die area for an eFPGA is minimized, additional cost to the SoC is small.
By foregoing a standalone FPGA and embedding programmable logic functionality as a personalized combination of look-up tables, memory, and DSP blocks, eFPGAs offer fundamental improvements in signal delays, bandwidth, latency, power, and cost. Board design becomes easier while power and cooling requirements are reduced, and system reliability improves. The system BoM is improved from both a cost and component count standpoint, as the discrete FPGA along with all its supporting devices – including level shifters, voltage regulators, and bypass capacitors – are eliminated, and there is significant savings in PCB real estate.
In many instances, the system architect will define his or her own custom block functions to be included in the eFPGA along with the standard logic, embedded memory, and DSP blocks. These customized blocks are integrated into the logic fabric alongside the traditional building blocks of LUTs, RAMs, and DSPs, increasing the capability of the eFPGA by adding functions optimized to decrease area and/or increase performance of targeted applications.
In artificial intelligence (AI) applications where there is a considerable compute workload, requirements on both training and inference side are evolving. It takes significant resources, both financial and in terms of time to market, to get a custom ASIC out in the market dedicated to a specific application. By the time the chip is out in the market, the system architect may already be looking into implementing an optimized version of the current AI algorithm that would not be possible post-tapeout in the ASIC. Traditional FPGAs, even though not ideally suited to meet tomorrow's AI requirements, will continue to fill that gap with increased flexibility and programmability compared to ASICs.
System architects agree that eFPGA integration is a winning proposition that can make an SoC or ASIC adaptable to a wide range of high-performance compute intensive applications ranging from AI and machine learning, 5G wireless, data center, automotive and high-performance computing (HPC).

I hope everyone had a happy Easter and a good Passover.
For me the past week or so has been pretty busy to be honest. The weekend before Easter Andy and I headed west to Somerset, I dropped him off in Glastonbury on the Friday (it's his favourite place), then I headed off for a girly weekend at Langtry Country House in Watchet, which could only mean one thing...lots of good food and dozing off on the sofa - we're not exactly young or energetic girlies!!
I arrived on the day and was greeted by them all at the door together with their trusty cookbook open at the page with a recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies. As you can imagine, juggling scales, flour, eggs etc. and four kids under ten is not an easy task. I was advised by five year old twins Ruby and Amy, that they were good at breaking eggs, Ellie (eight) wanted to do the flour and sugar and Joe (ten) wanted to do everything else. I have to say, they were all great...and very enthusiastic, if you get my meaning! We did however manage to bake a pretty good batch of cookies, so they were all very pleased with themselves.
The next day Andy and I went to see Wagner's Parsifal, which is one of his favourite operas. I'v decided that this was the last Wagner opera I am going to see for a very long time! We've been to three since Christmas, and I really need to to see something a bit more light hearted!! I've told Andy he owes me at least three musicals, now I just need to work out what the cheesiest ones are and get them booked!!
So, after a two day working week (I could get used to those!!) it was time on Good Friday for me to get baking for the afternoon tea I had arranged for Saturday, with my brother and future sister-in-law. The menu included mini sandwiches and rolls, warm scones with Langtry Country House damson jam and clotted cream and a selction of cakes and biscuits.
I'm pleased to say it all went down well and we spent the rest of the evening talking about Stephen and Denise's upcoming wedding in the summer...all very chilled.
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and line a 10-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Whizz the chocolate into small pieces in a food processor. Put the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, 100ml soured cream, eggs, vanilla and 100ml water into a large bowl. Whisk everything together until smooth, then quickly stir in 100g of the chocolate bits. Divide between the 10 cases, then bake for 20 mins until a skewer inserted comes out clean (make sure you don't poke it into a chocolate chip bit). Cool on a wire rack.


As there are so many older and relatively obscure whiskies on my list of potential reviews for January, I thought I'd begin with a more recognizable name: Glenfiddich. However, this is not, alas, one of their regular releases in the US. It used to be but was pulled a few years ago. It can still be found outside the US and at duty-free stores. It is a vatting of whisky matured in bourbon and sherry casks (in what proportion, I do not know) and is, unusually for Glenfiddich, bottled at the higher strength of 51%. My sample came from Michael K.'s bottle (you can read his review here).
Tangentially: does anyone know which distilleries with official releases that were hitherto sans tangible peat have not jumped on the peated whisky train in recent years? Other than Glengoyne, that is. Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure Macallan haven't and probably not Glen Grant, Glenrothes or Glenlivet.
Continuing with my mini series of reviews of classic single malts here is perhaps the most famous, certainly the most ubiquitous of them all: the Glenfiddich 12. This sample is from a bottle released in 2002 though, and so is probably very like the first ever Glenfiddich 12 I ever had, which as for so many people (whether we like to admit it or not), is probably the first single malt whisky I ever had. I haven't really had it very many times since then and so am intrigued to go back (in a sense) and see what I make of it now.
Here is my first review of a malt from the best known of all the Scottish distilleries, Glenfiddich. I have already recorded my thoughts about the low reputation of Glenfiddich (and Glenlivet) among whisky geeks and so will not repeat myself here. The Snow Phoenix may in fact be their most lauded malt in recent years among said whisky geeks and that's despite it being a NAS ("No Age Stated") release.

LLAP01 New director appointment on 2014/06/27.


We have a Teensy and we know how to write program that could type something. What we can do with that? We can input some system commands.
Most simple example would be to open notepad and then type something in it.
We have Teensy and know how to program it. So its time to do write some code that allow us to… write something 😉 Good place to start would be usb_keyboard example from official Teensy website. There is some simple API for using keyboard that we can later modify for our needs.
where first argument is number of key (like A or 5), and second one is modifier (like Shift or Ctrl). To get key number, you can check usb_keyboard.h file, where all keys are defined as KEY*. There is also lower level functions, that allow you to, for example, to keep pressed Ctrl while pressing other keys. But I didn't need it, so lets leave it alone.
Recently I bought something called Teensy 2.0. I'm still not sure why would I need it, but I will figure it out soon. What is Teensy? It is small USB Development Board that could be programmed as USB HID recognized by PC (so it can pretend to be keyboard or mouse).
I'm not an expert in such stuff, so it is new challenge to learn how to do something with it.
at first look everything looks fine. But, why there 27 as result, and not 22?
C# made it easier, you can either use ref or out, and you have to add this modifier when function is called. So much easier to read.
I'm working on some project, where I use F# TypeProviders to connect with some legacy database. And each time I built my project, I was reloading database scheme. So each build took too long. At first, I've moved my F# code to new solution, so I didn't have to wait for it each time I was testing my app. But sometimes I still have to fix and rebuild part of the code with data access. I it still took a lot of time. And today comes realization: "Maybe there is some way to cache database scheme?".
Of course it is, it is F#!
As they say: you live and learn. Some time ago I wrote about why I don't like VB.NET, where I was complaining about strange VB.NET behaviour with implementing interfaces. And recently I found out that in C# there is also something called Explicit Interface Implementation.
It is quite similar to VB.NET, but for me it much more clearer and there are less possibilities for create obfuscated code (like defining private method which is actually public).
Recently I started playing with F#. And when I looked up for a way of accessing data, I found something called TypeProvider. And I have to say it is amazing tool. Then I realized that I was looking for some simple way to dump part of my database to CSV file, so I can use this data in automated testing (I might write something about that in near future). And I could use F# to just do it!
The result of my work was code that could dump selected tables (or part of selected tables) into separate CSV files (or in any other format, if you change function that dumps data). It will automatically get all columns in your database, so you have to only list tables that you want to dump (or write some simple F# query to get only data you want – useful if you have tables with millions of records, and don't want to dump all of them).
Here is description of how it is done: (or you can just look on full source code).
I don't like standard way of calling stored procedures in .NET with SqlCommand. So when I was starting one of projects, I thought that maybe I could use some helper that would allow me to easier way of calling procedures. As I didn't find anything interesting, I've created one by myself. And this is one of this moments, when you feel why dynamics in C# are so great thing.
In my work, I have to work quite often with Visual Basic. This language have some advantages over C#, but most of the time, it is very annoying.
CakePHP convention require to declare in each controller which model we want to use in it by declaring $uses array.
But there is another option: I could write some code that will auto load required models, when they are needed.
It is using one of PHP 5 magic functions – __get(). This functions is used when you try to access some nonexistent property in class. So if you add this code, and then you will try to access some undefined model in code, PHP will try to create this model then.
In similar way you can achieve components auto loading. But there could be one more thing needed. I will write about it soon.

tv Andy Warhol's Meta and Morbid Message Haunted the Super Bowl Ads
In the future, everyone will have 15 minutes of selling fast food from beyond the grave.
February 10, 2019 Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic
, Burger King
A man walks to an old farmhouse, his hands grazing stalks of grass, in a primal American image: something out of an Andrew Wyeth painting, or Days of Heaven. He's greeted by his grandpa, whom he hasn't seen in a long time. Inside the house sits a beautiful car. Is this real life? No, it is the hallucination of an office worker with a cashew blocking his airway. A colleague Heimlichs him back to reality, and he appears bummed to discover that he is not, in fact, dead.
This was Audi's way of announcing that it would electrify its cars by 2025, part of a Super Bowl ad class that not-so-gently warned the viewer that consumer products would shape not only their life, but also their death. The commercial-break culture war of the past few years—brands image-washing themselves with gender-role reversals, multiculti montages, and Kendall Jenner wandering into a protest—seemed somewhat on pause, perhaps with the blowback to Gillette's masculinity lecture too fresh. What instead emerged was a lurid, almost putrid sensibility, culminating in the eerie resurrection of Andy Warhol smearing ketchup on a soggy hamburger bun. Chunky milk, murderous nuts, flying reptiles barbecuing a barbecue: The end will be nasty, and it will not be in your control.
"IT'S WORSE THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY" read a fake newspaper headline in the home-security gizmo SimpliSafe's Super Bowl spot, an explicit work of fearmongering that also featured an Amazon Echo–type device that malevolently spied on users. Amazon, meanwhile, advertised itself with an oddly chipper affirmation of the nightmares people have about its AI-adjacent products. The company infiltrated private spaces, as per Forest Whitaker's Alexa-enabled toothbrush. It took command of a user's credit card when Harrison Ford's dog, wearing an Echo collar, stocked up on kibble. It hijacked civilization at a supervillain scale, with an Alexa-rigged space station taking down the country's power grids. The point was that Amazon would never actually allow these things. But also, definitely, that it could.
The sense of mutating capitalism—of products gaining sentience then running amok with horrifying results—also defined one of Sunday's more effective WTF moments. Bud Light has branded itself with a medieval shtick for years now, but on Sunday night a campy joust of beverage-affiliated warriors turned gruesome, with the reenactment of a Game of Thrones scene in which a hero had his eyes gouged out. Then a dragon swooped in and roasted Bud Light's royal court, and the Thrones theme song started to play. Twist: This was an ad both for beer and for HBO's biggest hit show. Another wall between discrete cultural-commercial kingdoms has fallen, and not even the stupidest mascots are safe from the ensuing chaos.
Bud Knight will be back, though, as no one—fictional or otherwise—dies in ad land. Hence Martin Luther King Jr. returned to the Super Bowl in arguably an even dicier context than the much-loathed Dodge spot from last year. The NFL has been buffeted by fans and celebs swearing it off in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, who accused team owners of blacklisting him for his anti-racism protests. The league, on Sunday, tried to strike back with an ad-like montage of King's words preceding the coin toss, which was overseen by King's daughter Bernice King, U.S. Representative John Lewis, and former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young.
"Humanity is turning the tide and our efforts must include bridge builders, strategic negotiators and ambassadors," Bernice King tweeted on Sunday, an implicit response to critics on Kaepernick's side. Social-justice leaders can and obviously do disagree tactically about when to build bridges and when to refuse to participate with alleged oppressors. But MLK's words were being used, more than anything, for football's own PR efforts against dissenters. They were, in effect, being weaponized against supporters of his own cause.
But the spookiest haunting, still, was by Andy Warhol's ghost. The late artist's spiel about the universality of Coca-Cola—"A Coke is a Coke, and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking"—provided the seed for a decidedly un-Warholian bit of doggerel used to hawk that drink. Warhol himself made an appearance, too, in a Burger King commercial that showed him sitting at a table and eating a Whopper on camera, at length. A pioneer of the postmodern blurring between art and ads, Warhol is an apt figure for such treatment, but also an ominous one. Count off another vertebrae engulfed by the snake eating its own tail.
The Warhol footage came from the Danish filmmaker Jørgen Leth's 1982 documentary, 66 Scenes From America, and the original clip—of Warhol unwrapping the burger, eating it, sitting in uncomfortable silence, and then saying his name—made the kind of gnomic statement on consumerism that Warhol specialized in. Burger King rebroadcast it undoctored, save for, in both the 45-second TV spot and the nearly five-minute internet version, a flash of text: #EatLikeAndy. It also tried to mascot-ify him by handing out "mystery boxes" containing white-bob wigs before the game. Said the brand's marketing materials: "You'll know exactly what to do with everything that's inside the box, and you'll have your own 15 minutes of fame, or should we say, flame."
The Warhol ad did make for one of the most arresting spots of the night, with silence and mystery cutting against the game's loudness. And it'd certainly be hard to argue impropriety in a fast-food chain decontextualizing and commodifying a pop-art adman who famously admired Madison Avenue's talents for … decontextualization and commodification. "Warhol's great advance was collapsing any distinction between commercial and noncommercial modes of experience," Stephen Metcalf wrote recently in The Atlantic, elsewhere citing his quote "Making money is art, and working is art, and good business is the best art."
Even so, a line is being crossed. Warhol said that the ad-swaddled surfaces of modern life were canvases; now a corporation has taken not only his art but also his own likeness in the act of art making, and represented it as an ad. If he is the prime target for such treatment, there is no reason to think he'd be the only one. In an almost visceral way, the morbid mood of Sunday's ads hinted at an expansion of Warhol's 15-minutes-of-fame principle past the truism it's already become. One day we will each leave this Earth, but our image no longer will. If gods or accomplishments or loved ones do not ensure immortality, at least the corporations might, as there's no buyer that can't also become a seller.
