Q: Cython memoryview error - Fatal Python error: Acquisition count is I'm encountering an error with Cython that I find difficult to resolve.
I have a struct ret_val which has a long[:] field called last_visited.
I'm trying to set this but get the following runtime error:
Fatal Python error: Acquisition count is -1753032536 (line 5052)
The following is an extract from the responsible C file at the line above:
/* "cymain.pyx":196
*     last = np.array([1,1,1], dtype=np.int64)
*     ret_val.last_visited = last             # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
*/

__pyx_t_9 = __Pyx_PyObject_to_MemoryviewSlice_ds_long(__pyx_v_last);

if (unlikely(!__pyx_t_9.memview)) {
    __pyx_filename = __pyx_f[0];
    __pyx_lineno = 196;
    __pyx_clineno = __LINE__;
    goto __pyx_L1_error;
}
__PYX_XDEC_MEMVIEW(&__pyx_v_ret_val->last_visited, 0);
__pyx_v_ret_val->last_visited = __pyx_t_9;
__pyx_t_9.memview = NULL;
__pyx_t_9.data = NULL;

I tried making a minimal example to reproduce the error, but then it didn't happen. Then I rewrote the function this is drawn from using the minimal example, and it failed again.
Here's a minimal example which doesn't produce the error but is, as far as I can understand, functionally identical to the error causing code:
cdef struct baz:
    long[:] lv
    othermodule.something* cd

cdef baz* initialise_baz(dict req):
    cdef:
        baz* ret_val = <baz *> malloc(sizeof(baz))
        long nlevels = 3

    ret_val.cd = NULL

    lv = req["key"]
    lv = np.array(lv, dtype=np.int64)
    ret_val.lv = lv

    return ret_val

def test_memview_error(req):
    cdef baz* foo
    foo = initialise_baz(req)
    print "foo.lv[2]", foo.lv[2]

Then call
import cymodule
cymodule.test_memview_error({"key":np.array([1,2,3])})

A: I believe the problem relates to uninitialised memory (as I said in the comments). Looking at the generated C code from your simple example:
/* "code.pyx":5
 * import numpy as np
 *
 * cdef struct baz:             # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 *     long[:] lv
 *     #othermodule.something* cd
 */
struct __pyx_t_4code_baz {
  __Pyx_memviewslice lv;
};

(note that I've commented out othermodule.something for simplicity). __Pyx_memviewslice is defined as
typedef struct {
  struct __pyx_memoryview_obj *memview;
  char *data;
  Py_ssize_t shape[8];
  Py_ssize_t strides[8];
  Py_ssize_t suboffsets[8];
} __Pyx_memviewslice;

Some relevant code from initialise_baz (I've skipped some little bits here)
__pyx_v_ret_val = ((struct __pyx_t_4code_baz *)malloc((sizeof(struct __pyx_t_4code_baz))));

Note that malloc does not (necessarily) zero the memory. Thus the contents of lv (crucially the pointer to memview) are set to something arbitrary (likely what was in memory before - this obviously depends on what other code you've run before). If you use calloc instead of malloc it does zero the memory. initialise_baz continues:
  /* "code.pyx":18
 *     lv = req["key"]
 *     lv = np.array(lv, dtype=np.int64)
 *     ret_val.lv = lv             # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 *
 *     return ret_val
 */
  __pyx_t_6 = __Pyx_PyObject_to_MemoryviewSlice_ds_long(__pyx_v_lv);
  if (unlikely(!__pyx_t_6.memview)) {__pyx_filename = __pyx_f[0]; __pyx_lineno = 18; __pyx_clineno = __LINE__; goto __pyx_L1_error;}
  __PYX_XDEC_MEMVIEW(&__pyx_v_ret_val->lv, 0);
  __pyx_v_ret_val->lv = __pyx_t_6;
  __pyx_t_6.memview = NULL;
  __pyx_t_6.data = NULL;

The key line is __PYX_XDEC_MEMVIEW is called on the previous (arbitrary!) contents of lv. That's where things go wrong. lv.memview points to an arbitrary place, from which it reads what it thinks is an acquisition_count.
A superficial fix is the use calloc instead of malloc. However, even in that case lv never gets properly deallocated when you free baz, which probably causes a memory leak. I really don't think it makes sense to use memoryviews as part of C structures. Can you use them as part of a cdef class instead, where everything is taken care of properly?

How Much Does Tesla Insurance Cost?
Tesla insurance can be expensive, but new coverage options are emerging. To get the best rates, shop around.

Average cost of Tesla Model 3 insurance
What company has the cheapest Tesla car insurance?
How much does Tesla car insurance cost in my state?
Why Tesla insurance is so expensive
What is Tesla Insurance?
A Tesla electric car isn't cheap — the company's lowest-priced vehicle costs roughly $40,000 for the base model — and buying insurance for it isn't either. Despite the cars' high safety ratings, Tesla insurance can be significantly more expensive than the same coverage for other popular vehicles.
To give Tesla fans an idea of what to expect, NerdWallet checked rates for full-coverage auto insurance on the lowest-priced Tesla, the Model 3. Here's what we found.

Get started on Insure.com
Tesla Model 3 insurance costs an average of $2,215 per year, or about $185 a month, our analysis shows. That's nearly 40% higher than the national average cost of car insurance.
But rates vary widely from one insurer to the next. Among the five largest car insurance companies in the U.S., price differences for Tesla car insurance can be more than $1,000 a year.
Progressive has the cheapest rates on average for Tesla Model 3 owners among the nation's largest insurers. Although USAA has lower rates, it was not included in our analysis because it is offered only to military members, veterans and their families.
To find the cheapest Tesla auto insurance, make sure to check smaller regional providers as well. They may beat out the bigger players in your neighborhood.

Maine has the lowest average cost to insure a Tesla Model 3, coming in at $1,245 annually.
Louisiana has the highest average cost to insure a Tesla Model 3, at $3,436.
While the price you pay might vary based on your location, you're likely to spend more than your non-Tesla-owning neighbors for auto insurance. Of the 25 most popular cars in the U.S., the Tesla Model 3 is the most expensive to insure, on average, in every state except New York, where it comes in second to the Toyota Highlander LE.

The more your car costs, the more it costs to insure. If you're in an accident and need repairs, your collision insurance is going to pay unless it was totally someone else's fault. And if your Tesla is stolen, it'll cost your insurer more to replace it than a less expensive vehicle, so it'll charge you more for that coverage.
How much is a Tesla?
Teslas are expensive compared with many cars, priced similarly to luxury cars and other electric vehicles. For example:
Tesla Model 3. The cheapest Tesla starts at about $40,000 for its basic trim, Standard Range Plus. Upgrade to the Long Range Model 3 for about $49,000 or to the Performance Model 3 for just under $57,000.
Tesla Model Y. This car costs about $52,000 for its base trim.
Tesla Model S. The Model S jumps up in price with a starting cost of nearly $80,000 before add-ons and upgrades.
Tesla Model X. This car's base price starts at nearly $90,000, with upgrades costing tens of thousands.
Upgrading beyond the basic model can send your Tesla cost skyrocketing. For example, you'll pay $10,000 to add self-driving capability, and any paint color other than white will set you back an extra $1,000 to $2,000. The more features you add to your Tesla, the more it will likely cost to insure.
Tesla repair costs
Teslas are made out of expensive parts, contributing to their base cost. For starters, a Model 3 battery costs thousands of dollars to replace.
Tesla repair costs are also higher due to the cars' aluminum bodies, which are much more expensive than those made with traditional materials. If you damage a plastic or steel part on your 2012 sedan, an auto body shop can fix it for relatively little cost. The same isn't true for aluminum.
All of those potential repair costs come back to owners in the form of higher Tesla car insurance prices. To ease the burden, the carmaker is rolling out an insurance option it says will be less expensive called Tesla Insurance.
» MORE: Compare car insurance
Tesla is now a licensed broker providing insurance in California from State National Insurance to Tesla drivers. The company claims drivers can save 20% to 30% over the cost of insurance through other carriers.
You can currently buy Tesla car insurance for the following vehicles: Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y and Roadster.
» MORE: Minimum car insurance requirements by state
How Tesla Insurance works
Tesla says it understands how drivers use its cars and takes all of the vehicles' safety features and crash avoidance systems into account when pricing insurance. The company says it doesn't currently use personalized driving data collected by the vehicles in its pricing.
In addition to liability, collision and comprehensive insurance, Tesla also offers additional coverage for wall chargers, electronic key replacement and identity fraud.
In its initial filings, Tesla Insurance also included collision and liability car insurance discounts for the use of autonomous driving features, ranging from 5% to 30% depending on the level of autonomy in use. Families with multiple Teslas would also be eligible for discounts.
Tesla is currently looking to expand its insurance offering into three additional states — Texas, Illinois and Washington — with the eventual goal of selling policies across the U.S.
Until then, keep rates down by comparing several car insurance quotes to make sure you're getting the best deal.
A brand-new Tesla costs anywhere from about $40,000 to $120,000, depending on which model and trim you choose. Adding self-driving capability, choosing a paint color besides white and other customizations can increase the sticker price.
Is a Tesla expensive to insure?
The average annual cost to insure a Tesla Model 3 — $2,215 — is nearly 40% higher than the average national cost of car insurance, according to NerdWallet's analysis. Tesla says its own insurance can save drivers 20% to 30%, but policies are currently available only in California. If you live elsewhere, check multiple companies to find the best car insurance quotes for you.
What insurance does Tesla offer?
The company currently offers insurance for Tesla owners in California, including a mix of standard coverage (such as liability, comprehensive and collision) and coverage for wall chargers and electronic keys. Tesla plans to roll out its insurance across the country in the future, but for now owners outside of California will have to shop around for car insurance rates from other companies.

New England Premiere of "HOME/SICK" Brings Co-Artistic Directors Back Home to Their Alma Mater (Jan. 30-31)
January 29, 2014 by Andrew Chatfield
CFA Arts Administration Intern Chloe Jones '15 talks to Nick Benacerraf '08, Edward Bauer '08, Jess Chayes '07, and Stephen Aubrey '06 of The Assembly about the work "HOME/SICK," which will receive its New England premiere on Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31, 2014 at 8pm in the CFA Theater.
The Assembly: "HOME/SICK." The Living Theatre, New York, July 2012. Photo by Nick Benacerraf '08.
In the summer of 2006, Stephen Aubrey '06, Jess Chayes '07, Nick Benacerraf '08, and Edward Bauer '08 traveled to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to perform We Can't Reach You, Hartford, an original work of theater which became Ms. Chayes' senior thesis at Wesleyan. Over seven years later, the four Wesleyan alumni are still making work together, and this week they return to campus for the New England premiere of HOME/SICK.
HOME/SICK tells the story of a handful of student activist leaders in the 1960s who, searching for justice and an end to the Vietnam War, became convinced that violence could pave the way toward peace. With ambitions to overthrow the government, they formed the Weather Underground after taking control of the Students for a Democratic Society movement in 1969.
"It is a deeply political work without trying to be didactic," Mr. Benacerraf said when I spoke with the four of them earlier this week in the CFA Theater.
HOME/SICK was co-authored and co-created by the members of The Assembly, a Brooklyn-based theater ensemble co-founded by Mr. Aubrey, Mr. Bauer, and Mr. Benacerraf. "It took a year to develop the original script," explained Mr. Bauer, "and it was written to varying degrees by all of us."
Political and personal histories converge in HOME/SICK. Having identified a number of sub-topics within the larger historical period, the ensemble set about researching, discussing, questioning, writing, and rewriting. According to Ms. Chayes, "HOME/SICK fuses historical sources with deeply personal material," a style that has become the hallmark of The Assembly's artistic process.
They first performed HOME/SICK in 2011 at the Collapsable Hole theater in Williamsburg, only one month before the Occupy Wall Street movement began in Manhattan's Financial District. The production couldn't have been more timely. With Occupy Wall Street at the forefront of local and national news, and quickly garnering international attention, the story told in HOME/SICK suddenly gained a heightened sense of immediacy.
Mr. Benacerraf recounted how the reactions of their audiences changed in accordance with the action unfolding just across the East River. "It was inspirational to a lot of people to know that you could be this committed to trying to change the world," he said, "or that it was even possible to think this way."
One year later, when The Assembly performed HOME/SICK again, they were met with different reactions. "When we did it again, after Occupy Wall Street had mostly fizzled out, we had people who were inspired the first time weeping in our arms, literally weeping, at intermission," Mr. Benacerraf recalled.
Rooted in history yet relevant to the present day, HOME/SICK asks the question: "How far would you go to make the change that you feel is necessary?"
Mr. Aubrey, Mr. Bauer, Mr. Benacerraf, and Ms. Chayes are quick to give credit to Wesleyan for instilling in them a "liberal arts ethos," as Ms. Chayes described it, which has guided and defined their work. "We are interested in finding many different ways of interrogating the same question," she said.
Mr. Benacerraf mentioned the Wesleyan Theater Department for the rigorous theoretical engagement it demands of its students, a practice these alumni have carried with them into the world. He also spoke of Second Stage, the student-run organization that oversees student theater on campus, for having influenced they way they work — collaboration forming the core of their creative process.
"What's it like to be back at Wesleyan?" I asked.
"Wonderful and strange," Mr. Aubrey responded. "Now my mentors, the professors who taught us to make art, are sort of like colleagues, and it's wonderful to think that they want us back, not as students but as artists."
"It still feels like home," Ms. Chayes added, "It feels like where this company was forged."

Spring Events Include New England Premieres and Connecticut Debuts
As winter sets in, the Center for the Arts heats up with many events and experiences designed to inspire, entertain, provoke and delight. We are welcoming two groups who, like the CFA, are also celebrating their 40th anniversary. The first is Margaret Jenkins Dance Company, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's premier dance companies that will perform the New England premiere of Times Bones, an enthralling work that features music by Paul Dresher and poetry by Michael Palmer. Jenkins is one of this country's master choreographers with an astonishing body of work and we are delighted to be bringing her company to Connecticut. We are also bringing members of Sweet Honey in the Rock to Wesleyan. For four decades, this Grammy Award-winning all female African American a cappella group has brought joy to audiences around the world. Three members of Sweet Honey will be teaching workshops that will culminate in a showing on April 17. This is an extraordinary opportunity for both singers and non-singers to enter into their creation and performance practice. Other highlights of the spring include the first major solo exhibition in the U.S. by Paris-based American artist Evan Roth, whose work lives at the intersection of viral media and art, graffiti and technology. You'll also have the opportunity to hear Ukranian Vadym Kholodenko, winner of the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, play a program that includes Frédéric Chopin, Johannes Brahms, and Nikolai Medtner. Wesleyan's Music Department will host the 28th conference of the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States, which will feature a series of concerts where you can immerse yourself in new music by American composers. And Associate Professor of Dance Nicole Stanton will premiere the work Threshold Sites: Feast, which explores how we experience and enact our own corporeality, and how that impacts the way we experience our communities and our environments. At the end of the semester, you'll have the chance to see the culminating works created by Wesleyan students, and be able to put your finger on the pulse of the current generation of art makers. Highlights include a production of Slawomir Mrozek's Vatzlav, directed by Lily Whitsitt '06; thesis performances in music and dance; and three weeks of thesis exhibitions by studio art majors. We have a rich and expansive spring planned for you. Please join us as often as you can.

4 Big Changes in Downtown Bozeman You Need to Know About
Jesse James Published: January 25, 2023
Some big changes are coming to downtown Bozeman. Several businesses are closing, and new businesses are expected to open this year.
https://www.facebook.com/elcaminobarbozeman
www.facebook.com/elcaminobarbozeman
If you wander downtown, you may notice some businesses being renovated. Smoke, Fire, and Coal, a BBQ restaurant downtown recently closed and it seems a few other businesses have closed as well.
According to an article in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, two popular downtown bars are being listed for sale. El Camino and the Kitty Warren Social Club will be sold together for $400,000. That's right, you can buy two businesses for less than a house in Bozeman. An option to concession, or rent, the businesses' liquor license will be available to potential buyers. Both businesses are owned by the Okay Cool Group, which owns and operates a few other restaurants in Bozeman and the surrounding area. For more information, click here.
www.facebook.com/kittywarrenbzn
Happy Box, another bar in downtown Bozeman was also sold to a new owner. Renovations are being made, and the business is expected to reopen in the spring.
In total, four businesses have closed downtown in recent months. None of the businesses have been open for more than five years. The downtown area has seen a lot of change recently. Cactus Records moved out of its downtown location last year and moved further west on Main Street. It's safe to say we haven't seen the last of the changes.
While it saddens me to see any business close, I'm excited to see what types of businesses fill the vacant spaces in downtown Bozeman.

In the beginning, everything was green.
… or one big squash, depending on the month.
Our food started to turn purple.
It started with purple kohlrabi and purple potatoes.
I came home one day to find purple bell peppers, garlic, and eggplant.
And more purple potatoes with striped beets.
On it went, with purple cabbage, purple lettuce, purple onions. My skin even started to turn purple.
Somebody had to do something about this madness.
Luckily, hope is on the way.
Life has just become more interesting.
Brilliant. And what's with these purple tomatoes that are always a little split and oozing liquid matter?

Along the way, Jiang Chen and Tyrant could obviously feel the turbulent qi floating everywhere, thus it could be seen that the Golden Horizon was really getting more and more chaotic. Apart from the geniuses who were fighting the evil creatures, and were trapped in the ma.s.sacre of the immortal vaults, most of them were heading towards the centre of the Golden Horizon, which caused the density of geniuses to be greater compared to the start of the expedition. Allies that came from the same domain would likely meet again, and many of those with deep grudges would also come here to solve it.
This was a very common phenomenon. Who would let go of the chance of killing their enemy knowing that their enemy would come to this place?
Thousands of miles of haze and ashes, a silhouette was fleeing in panic with three people in hot pursuit. Their murderous intent was overwhelming. The face of the youth that was being pursued was unsightly. One of his arms was already gone. Blood gushed out of his body continuously. He was putting another palm to cover his wound while escaping. The people behind him were quick, seemingly about to catch up to their target soon.
"*Jie…* *Jie…*……brat, continue to run for your life. Let's see how long you can run."
One of them let out a malicious laugh which instantly caused the other two to burst into laughter. Judging from their relaxed faces, they had completely regarded that man as prey. If they were serious about pursuing the man, they would have caught up with him long ago. Clearly, they were just toying with him. They wanted to watch the despair in their prey magnify infinitely before killing him. Only then would they be incomparably delighted and satisfied.
On the other side, Jiang Chen was chit-chatting with Tyrant while heading towards their destination. Coincidentally, they encountered the man who was running for his life.
When the despairing man saw the two silhouettes, he felt a s.h.i.+ver down his spine, but after he saw clearly who the two were, his face revealed joy.
That youth roared hoa.r.s.ely, almost shedding tears. He knew that he was safe now. No one would be able to give him such certainty like Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was stunned because this was Dong Fei of Genius Prefecture. When Jiang Chen first arrived at Genius Prefecture, it was Dong Fei who brought him to the registration building. Then, they had come to Golden Horizon together. Dong Fei had also gotten a Blood Dragon Fruit, but soon parted company. The two of them didn't think that they would meet again here.
The current Dong Fei looked incomparably fl.u.s.tered. Injuries were all over his body. Although his cultivation base has already reached the peak of half-step Immortal Emperor realm, only one more step was needed to reach the next realm. But now, he looked utterly exhausted.
Dong Fei came to Jiang Chen's side. His body was trembling continuously, seemingly not able to hold his stance any longer.
Before he could speak, Jiang Chen turned his palm and produced a pill. The pill was saint pill that was specially made for treating injuries. He handed it to Dong Fei and said, "Consume it."
"Many thanks Senior Brother Jiang."
Dong Fei took the pill and swallowed it without looking at it. Jiang Chen was the person he trusted the most. Jiang Chen would never do anything to harm him.
At this time, the three people caught up. The three of them emanated a gloomy and cold qi. There were skulls attached to their uniforms. This was the symbol of Corpse Yin Sect. It went without saying that the injuries of Dong Fei were caused by these three b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.
These three seemed like peak half-step Immortal Emperors. Although Dong Fei's cultivation base was on par with them, the three of them were fighting one man. Plus, the people of Corpse Yin Sect had very evil methods. It was common that Dong Fei couldn't resist them.
"Are you the ones that hurt him?" aasked Jiang Chen coldly.
"Brat, I advise you not to meddle in our business. Hurry up and leave now if you don't wish to die. You can't interfere in the business of Corpse Yin Sect."
The leader spoke, totally not putting Jiang Chen in his eyes because Jiang Chen and Tyrant had kept their qi. Without looking closely, it would be hard to determine their true cultivation base. Furthermore, the people of Corpse Yin Sect had always been arrogant. They didn't have the intention of checking their opponents thoroughly.
"I'm called Jiang Chen. I wonder if you have heard of my name before." Jiang Chen said plainly.
"What? You are Jiang Chen?"
The face of the incomparably arrogant disciple changed. He might not know about the names of the other popular figures, but when he heard Jiang Chen's name, it pierced his ears like thunder.
The three men acted in harmony. Without a second word, they turned and fled. Their speed was many times faster than before. They no longer had the arrogance that they used to have a moment ago. The three of them began to curse themselves for encountering this unfortunate star, Jiang Chen.
There was no reason for them not to run. Even the genius Hei Kui died in Jiang Chen's hands. In a real fight, Jiang Chen could turn them into a lump of meat paste with just a slap.
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and then clawed at where the three were running to. That piece of void solidified. Their fleeing bodies had completely been imprisoned.
Jiang Chen struck out his big palm. That piece of spatial zone was crushed to pieces. The three of them let out miserable screams. Their bodies were blasted into a huge fog of blood. It could be described as an extremely miserable death.
He would never show the slightest mercy to the people of Corpse Yin Sect. If Jiang Chen had sufficient strength one day, he would break into Corpse Yin Sect and slaughter all of them, leaving none of them alive. This type of evil sect should never exist in the Heavens and Earth. Their method of using other people's corpse for their refinement was defying the Heavenly Dao and was worse than the Devil Cult.
Seeing the three of them being killed so easily, Dong Fei's face gradually recovered and was replaced by shock.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you have become stronger again."
Dong Fei sighed. The changes in Jiang Chen from the time they separated until now was inconceivable. He had also advanced during this period, his cultivation base has already reached the peak of Immortal Emperor realm.
"Dong Fei, how did you meet the people of Corpse Yin Sect?" asked Jiang Chen.
Speaking of Corpse Yin Sect, Dong Fei's expression changed instantly.
"Not good, Senior Brother Jiang, quickly go and save King Fan!" Dong Fei exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly. Judging from Dong Fei's reaction, things probably weren't as simple as he imagined. The current King Fan, had no doubt, fallen into a dangerous situation.

The Social Science Centre (SSC), Lincoln is hosting an event to look back at its activities since it was founded in 2011 and to make plans for its future.
A chance for all past and present members of the Social Science Centre to reflect on their experiences in the Centre, our activities, roads we have not taken, changes we should make and hopes for the future. Highlights to be shared with others later in the day.
The SSC organises higher education that explores the everyday experiences of its members – who are both students and teachers – through concepts and ideas developed in the social sciences. This includes making critical sense of social problems (like 'austerity', racism and nationalism or the privatisation of schools) and important local and global events like 'Brexit', learning how they affect us and how we might have an effect on them. Our past courses – The Social Science Imagination, Co-operation and Education, and Know How: Do-It-Ourselves Higher Education – all offered different approaches to this learning.
We are a co-operative organisation that is owned and run by our members. This means that we not only have an experience of higher education, but can decide together what this education should be, how it works and why it matters. All our members can help run the Centre by taking part in democratic decision-making processes and collective ownership and responsibility. No one pays for learning or gets paid for teaching at the SSC because we do not believe knowledge should be for sale. Members with financial means make small monthly contributions to the co-operative to pay for room hire and other running costs.


Turns out that vacation with a toddler and an infant is a lot of work.
We went off on vacation and are finally home. I still am not unpacked -- why bother when the dryer is broken and there's nothing but dirty clothes in the bags? I also haven't downloaded new photos from the camera and cell phone. So.much.to.do.
But since I left without saying anything (kind of like not leaving "We are out of town" on the answering machine), I thought I would at least mention that we made it home alive.


This survey produced by Ofsted, is taken from visits to 44 schools. All the schools had been judged good or outstanding in their most recent inspection in terms of their pupils' enjoyment of learning, their preparation for future economic well-being and the curriculum.
In schools with good teaching, there is not a conflict between the National Curriculum, national standards in core subjects and creative approaches to learning.

S1, EPISODE 6: THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN FLORIDA (PART 2)
27 Mar S1, EPISODE 6: THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN FLORIDA (PART 2)
Posted at 14:47h in episodes, season1 by tbeunfiltered_i37ddt
S1, Episode 4 of Through Black Eyes: Unfiltered is back with its final episode, Part 2 of The Civil Rights Movement in Miami, Tallahassee, and St. Augustine, Florida, featuring our podcast stars and brothers, Doctors Marvin Dunn and Raymond Dunn, Sr., along with moderator, Tomeka Napper. Episode 6 also introduces two new guests: Mrs. Delores Davis Hills– who joins us in the studio, and Mrs. Carolyn Reed Abrams— who joins us by phone, to add more to the conversation by sharing their stories of activism during the movement in the 1960s in Tallahassee, Florida.
The episode begins with the historical background of the beginning of the "modern" civil rights movement in Miami in 1946, which lead to beach wade-ins that lead to the establishment of the first negro beach and more. As according to Dr. Marvin Dunn, the "modern" civil rights movement actually began in Miami in 1946 when a group of blacks, mostly World War II Veterans, held a wade-in the all-white Virginia Key public beach each to force Dade County to open a beach for Negroes to swim. This beach is now famously known as Virginia Key Beach, in Miami, FL. Dr. Marvin Dunn, goes on to share that even before the student sit-ins in North Carolina that "supposedly" began the movement (which is a "mistaken view"), in Miami, the first training camps for non-violent civil rights demonstrators were being conducted by a group called "Congress on Racial Equality" also formally known as "CORE". Core was first established in 1942, in Chicago IL by James Farmer, Bayard Rustin, George Houser, Bernice Fisher. Also, in Miami, we discuss civil rights legends, Father Theodore Gibson, who led the wade-in to establish Virginia Key Beach; Miami Times Newspaper Publisher Garth Reeves; M. Nathalie Range, the first black women to be elected to the Miami City Commission; Virgil Hawkins, who was the first black attorney who took his case all the way to the Florida Supreme Court; and more who were instrumental in helping blacks in Miami be treated fairly and equally.
Moreover, as the movement in Florida bloomed in the early 1960s two cities in the state of Florida: Tallahassee and St Augustine, experienced the most wide-spread demonstrations. Those activities were led by Rev. C.K. Steele, and college students (i.e. Sisters Patricia Stephens Due and Priscilla Stephens Kruize, John Due, and others, etc.) particularly from Florida A&M University (i.e. FAMU) in Tallahassee. Our very own, Dr. Raymond Dunn, along with his classmates: Delores Davis Hills and Carol Reed-Abrams, were arrested during those activities and share their moving experiences with us. Their recollections of those events, particularly of how one incident where hundreds of arrested students, organized themselves and survived under such stressful conditions during those egregious times, is a highlight our audience does not want to miss.
As the conversation turns to the civil rights movement in St. Augustine, we discuss the heroic efforts of Dr. Robert Haylings who, along with Rev/Dr. Martin Luther King were instrumental in staging public demonstrations with children, and wade-ins at public beaches and at the infamous Monson Motor Lodge pool, which was operated by Robert "Jimmy" Brock who poured acid in the pool. In addition, the Dunn Brothers share the significance of St. Augustine in terms of being the oldest city in the United States of America, and its long history with being a free establishment for blacks, going all the way back to the late 1500s.
Stay tuned to the conclusion of Season 1, Episode 6 and to hear directly from Dr. Marvin and Dr. Raymond, as to why they choose to end our first season of Through Black Eyes: Unfiltered with The Civil Rights Movement in Florida.
It has been our pleasure.

Original-IBM-5150 or IBM-Clone Memory Experimentation Thread

They don't "scramble" anything. The '244 is literally just a valve. (Or maybe "two valves" because it has a separate control "handle" for each 4 bits of the total 8 bits it handles.) The inputs, usually designated "1A(1-4)" and "2A(1-4)" on the datasheets, are controlled by the signals "1G" and "2G" respectively. If the "G" for those four bits is low the input state (high or low) is presented on "1Y(1-4)" or "2Y(1-4)" respectively; if "G" is high the outputs assume a "high impedance" state which essentially renders the device invisible. (Which means a downstream device either gets high or low from another device, a pull up/pull down resistor, or just floats.) When you see a '244 in a circuit the "G"s are often tied to ground, which means it's basically just acting like an "amplifier" for the input signal. If it *is* controlled it's usually because there's something else connected to the output side and the 244' is acting as part of a multiplexer.
(For instance, a pair of '244s could be used to do roughly the same job as a pair of 74LS157 Quad 2-input multiplexers, IE, either could be used to decide if the 8 bits to be asserted on "Bus Z" were sourced from "source X" or "source Y". The control circuitry would just be slightly different.)
A '373 does the same thing (IE, it can act as a "valve" because it has an output enable signal to tri-state the output, although in its case it applies to all 8 outputs simultaneously, not two groups of four) except it can also "latch" what's coming out the other side. IE, if output enable is "low" then what comes out on the "O" outputs matches the "D" inputs in real time if latch is "high", but if latch goes "low" the value on D0-7 is latched into into registers "Q0-7", and that value is what comes out on "O0-7" for as long as latch is held low, regardless of what happens to "D0-7". Again, nothing gets "scrambled"
I'm just contemplating if tying the A16 and A17 data lines into a free spot in the logic circuitry will make it work, like changing how a floppy drive interprets grounded setting pins. (This is tentative, though. I know it might not be as simple as that.) The other data lines seem to be added already.
No. A16 and A17 are not "data lines", they're address lines, and they're no doubt already "connected to the logic circuitry" that's used to select which set of RAS/CAS lines are active because decoding A16 and A17 is how you tell which page of 64k you're on. (IE, like this: 64K takes 16 bits to represent; IE, if the smallest chips the Sanyo supports are 64K we can completely ignore A0-15. That leaves A16-A19. That's 4 bits, which allows 16 possibilities, which means a total of 16 possible pages of 64k to think about. When you only have 4 banks and they all have 64k then this is what your decoding needs to care about to decode your RAM, which should reside in the bottom 256k of the possible 1024k of address space:
A19 - Has to be a zero
(This is what U48 does on the 256k 5150 board does. If A19 and or A18 are not a zero then the '138s that decide what bank is selected don't do anything.)
A17 and A16: Again referencing the 5150 schematics, these are decoded by U47 and U65. These are set up to act as 1-in-4 decoders (see how half the outputs are "wasted"; looking at the IBM schematics it looks like IBM used them instead of '139s because they're relying on the multi-conditional output enable gates to add additional conditions beyond the address to gate the assertion of these signals) and which set of CAS/RAS signals is active, IE, which bank is enabled, is *directly based* on the state of A17 and A16. There's nothing more to do with them.
To make your Sanyo access 256k in a bank you actually need to disconnect A16 and A17 directly from the CAS/RAS decoders (assuming that's how they're actually wired, that's why I said you need to figure out if there's a PROM, additional decoding, or *what* there) and instead generate a truth table something like this:
(x = "don't care".)
A19 A18 A17 A16 : Desired state
0     0     x     x   : Enable RAS/CAS for bank 1 (256k, starting address 00000h)
1     0     0     0   : Enable RAS/CAS for bank 3 (64k, starting address 80000h)
All other states      : Nothing enabled.
Note also that the first layer of decoding, U48 on the 5150, which is "active low" when *any* of the banks should be active, was also used as a control signal for several items, including a bidirectional '245 buffer in front of the RAM data lines, so whatever you do on the Sanyo to fix the RAS/CAS decoding also still needs to produce that total "memory is active, period" signal. So, again, it's A18 and A19 that you need to start decoding in more detail to get more than 256k, and that is where it matters critically how the Sanyo is doing it *now*.

Update: Right now, I'm setting up a new pin map to see if I can find a pattern in how the logic lines are connected.

At first glance, the memory decoding seems to be controlled by four 224 chips, and two 373 chips. (Along with the 158s and 138s)
I had a longer reply to this typed up, but then I accidentally trashed it because backspace is evil, so here's a shorter version: it feels like you're a little confused what a '244 and '373 do. Neither of these things are "controllers". A '244 is just a unidirectional buffer/line driver; whether it's asserting what it sees on the input or goes into an invisible "tri-state" condition can be switched on and off, but that's it, it doesn't care at all about the contents of the data/address lines piped through it. (Note also that control lines like MEMR/MEMW/whatever are also commonly piped through '244s because a '244 is often employed to increase the TTL "fan out" of a signal that's tapped by many consumers.) A '373 is likewise just a latch; based on the status of a control signal it either transparently rebroadcasts on its output what it sees on its input, or it "freeze-frame"'s it and holds an instantaneous state on the output until the latch signal is released. (The reason the 373's are there is because of the multiplexed bus of the 8088; the same pins are used for addresses and data/status signals at different parts of bus cycle.)
The "decoder", IE, the thing that decided what bank of memory is active when address "X" appears on the buffered/latched address lines in the 5160 is chip U44, which is a programmed 24S10 1024x4 bit PROM. It's pretty literally a "black box"; its inputs are A16-A19 (which means it has 64k granularity), the state of a couple DIP switches saying whether a given pair of sockets is enabled at all, and some jumpers which I *think* say whether a given pair of banks has 64k or 256k chips in it, and what comes out are some signals that say which of bank 1 through 4 (or none) are turned on. (This part of the schematic is pretty confusing because the four outputs from the PROM are gated in several odd ways and go to both the "Q" inputs and the output enables of the RAS/CAS '138s.) If the Sanyo has a similar PROM, or possibly another programmable device like an early PAL, in this position then your best option is probably to find a compatible part and program it how you need.
If there is no PROM on the Sanyo board then you need to figure out if they *did* actually make full allowances on the board for the 640k option. This is where putting the manual for the 64k/256k 5150 alongside the 5160's manual will probably be instructive. Compare the memory decoding circuitry and *basically* the difference is instead of the RAS/CAS '138s being directly linked to A16 and A17 (also note they get an input from another '138, U48 who's *actually* ultimately the thing that says RAM should be active in the lowest 256k of space by sitting on A18 and A19) they are "abstracted" through that PROM. IBM didn't have to do it this way; to expand the 5150's decoding to support 256k on a pair of the sockets they could have, for instance, used additional outputs on '138 as inputs to U47 and U65. (I'd need to sit down with a piece of paper to work this out, but I think you could reshuffle it to work, possibly with the addition of a couple of NAND gates.)
Long story short, I think you need to bite the bullet and actually draw out the schematic of how the Sanyo derives the CAS/RAS signals for each memory bank. If it doesn't use a PROM like the 5160, which there's a good chance it doesn't, you'll need the complete layout of how it is *now* to figure out how to hack it properly.

Here's what I've found so far, based on my continuity checks:
The resistors that are on Address line 8 for the 256k (64kilobyte) chips are where they should be and at proper values. (They're in the schematic with the 158s below) The buffer delay line is where it should be.
However, the chips and their setup in decoding the contents of memory seems different, somehow.
Here's my routing of the pins between the chips (I may have gotten some wrong, because as I routed them, some don't make sense):

And the IBM 5160's first stage of the memory-decoding circuitry (158s):

And its second stage (244s and 373s):

Ok, there's three 158 chips, two 138s, four 244s (yeah, I called them 224s by accident), THREE 373s, and three 245s.
The thing with this setup is, the way they are wired does not match the schematics of the 5160. Probing the pins of the chips and checking continuity doesn't show the same pathways as the schematics. (I can post my findings later, if you want.)
(Again, this is at first glance. I'm not saying that there are more yet.)
Right now, and for the past day or so, I've been mapping out the connections between the LS158s and the LS244s. (based on the schematics in the 5160 Technical Reference)
Some of the pins on the 158s don't go anywhere. I'm wondering if I can use a free LS244 input-pair to tie the memory in properly...

You were talking about this? Guess what I happened to find over near the buffer delay line IC? A footprint for an LS139. That may be what I need.
Ok, I've run into a small problem. The A/B inputs of the extra 158 are not connected to any of the Y outputs of any 244 chip.
According to the schematic, they should be tied to a 244 chip that is grounded. I don't know what ICs they are on my Sanyo yet, but it's easy to figure out. On the IBM, though, they are U14 and U16
EDIT: Ok, it seems they are all grounded on the Sanyo.

RN3 is 30R = 30 Ohms.
Looked in my 5160 at Rn3
IBM_5160_RN3-Weerstand-Waarde30.jpg
(This will expand as I look at the schematics)
Ok, on the memory banks, Pin 1 of all the memory chips ( Address Line 8 ) goes to a resistor that is marked "30". (It's on PDF Page 74 / Book Page 1-52 of the 5160 Technical Reference) I'm a bit confused because I don't know if that means just ohms or kilo-ohms.
EDIT: Never Mind, the resistor is indeed 30 ohms. (I measured it with a multimeter)
Update: It does indeed seem that Sanyo had intended to make the MBC-775 or (maybe) similar models expandable to 640k. Address Line 8 is attached to the 30 ohm resistor, which is tied to pin 4 of the additional LS158 chip, just like on the 5160 schematic. I'll check the rest of the circuit upwind from that, then see where the buffer delay line needs to go. (I detached that because the factory patch wire leading from the buffer delay line to the LS158 seems to be in a different place on the schematic, and I needed to detach it to clean the final through-hole and insert the chip socket for the LS158.)
Update 2: Ok, the 158-to-buffer-delay-line wire should stay where it was. (It's ok, I've been taking pictures before I change anything, to prevent problems in reversing small mistakes)
On the other hand, it's odd, because the delay line IC in my Sanyo does not match the schematic exactly. It's actually supposed to be on Pin 3 (IBM) instead of Pin 4 (Sanyo), but the pin for that delay (60ns) is not present:
IBM's Pins (TTLDL-20):
12: 20ns
4: 40ns
5: 100ns
Sanyo's Pins ( 201JHT1006L, assuming equal divisions, because the datasheet does not have delay markings, and this was the only datasheet I could find!):
EDIT: I'm also assuming that the memory bank CLOSEST to the CPU is bank 0? (I'm checking if I have the memory ICs in the correct sockets.)
Good news! I've completed the mask repair (The ultraviolet flashlight worked perfectly!) and inserted the memory sockets.
Not so good news, I don't have a display yet, because the memory (512kb at the moment) won't work. (I still have to look at the 5160 schematics to redirect the proper signals.) But for now, my mind is fried, and I can't retain the schematic tracings mentally yet.
I do see quite a few 138 chips. Also, I see jumpers on the board that are either unpopulated or unshorted.
I'll figure it out when I refurbish the board mask.
On the first decoder use the outputs corresponding with 0-256k and 256k-512k directly to enable the two 256k banks.
Use the output for 512k-768k as enable for the second decoder.
Use the lines that correspond to 512k-576k and 576k-640k as enables for the two 64k banks.
Not saying Sanyo did that, but it's a method that could be achieved with just a few jumpers.
I'm curious to know one thing, did any XT/AT clones have PLAs installed?
Yes, but of course that doesn't mean all of them did. And this is where you're going to have to bite the bullet and suss out exactly how the memory addressing circuitry on your machine works because, as I noted earlier, if you don't tweak that then the 256kb chips will just be enabled for the same address ranges as the 64kb ones were.
The most straightforward methods of decoding memory without PLAs tend to involve 74LS138 and 74LS139 decoder/demultiplexers. For instance, just spitballing here's how you could do the chip selects for 256k of RAM made up of 4164's in an 8088 with a single '139:
Connect pins 2 and 3 to A18 and A19 and pin 1, chip enable for the first decoder, to ground
Connect the output at pin 4, which will go low when the computer is in the lowest 256k of address space, to pin 15, enable for the second decoder.
Connect pins 14 and 15, inputs for the second decoder, to A16 and A17.
Use the four outputs on pins 9-12 as the chip select for each bank of 64k. (This will run to the multiplexing circuitry that handles the RAS/CAS generation.)
The fact that Sanyo *seemingly* built the board with the intention of allowing the option to hold 640k implies that they probably at least ran the traces for something more sophisticated, but the pieces might not be populated and there might be either switches that need to be changed or jumpers/traces that have to be cut to reconfigure it. Look for "something" that's connected to the high address lines that has outputs that ultimately lead to the RAS/CAS circuitry and map it out.

Buzzcocks ready to return to the road
The Buzzcocks are set to return to the road again for a tour that is sure to please their longtime fans. The Iconic English rockers will bring their "Another…Bites" tour to Boston's Paradise Rock Club on Tuesday, May 17th at the Paradise Rock Club. Tickets for the 18+ show are $16.50 and now on sale through Live Nation. Pop-punk rockers The Dollyrots will open the show.
Led by singer-guitarist Pete Shelley and best known for their influence on the early punk rock scene, the Buzzcoks will hit the United States this spring to clebrate two of their most acclaimed albums. Throughout the entire tour, the band will be performing their 1978 debut album Another Music in a Different Kitchen and their 1978 sophomore album Love Bites in their entirety. Fans can also expect to hear several hits from their other albums.

Q: Prometheus ServletRegistrationBean does not work in some Workspace I want to monitor some apps and i am using Prometheus. It works well in some apps but when i tried to implement it in another app i am facing some problems.
It says:
The constructor ServletRegistrationBean(MetricsServlet, String) is undefined
What can cause this problem and how to fix this.
This is my class.
import java.util.Collection;

import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.PublicMetrics;

        SpringBootMetricsCollector springBootMetricsCollector = new SpringBootMetricsCollector(publicMetrics);
        springBootMetricsCollector.register();

        return springBootMetricsCollector;
    }

    @Bean
    public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean() {
        DefaultExports.initialize();
        return new ServletRegistrationBean(new MetricsServlet(), "/prometheus");
    }

In some apps it works but in one i stacked with this:
The constructor ServletRegistrationBean(MetricsServlet, String) is undefined

A: The MetricsServlet should implement javax.servlet.Servlet . Make sure you have that class(i.e javax.servlet.Servlet) in your project/classpath.

Sharing anticipation and interest, Native Plant Society members and guests gathered for our society's first program of the new year to learn about The Cleveland Museum of Natural History herbarium. Objects, details, and facts of plants, people, and current affairs were displayed and discussed. Through sharing his life experience, recounting the life experiences of others, presenting plant specimens to observe and touch, and talking about habitat, geology, and conservation, what we also learned more about that afternoon through Jim Bissell was our heritage.
The information Jim Bissell shared with us during our afternoon visit was comprehensive. Many wanted to stay and learn more. The narrative by Judy Barnhart captures the afternoon's program well. The added graphics and links supplement key points discussed and provide further sources of study.
The Native Plant Society wishes to express our appreciation to Jim Bissell for sharing his knowledge and time. We also wish to express appreciation to members and guests who were able to join us.
We look forward to seeing you at future programs and outings!
Please join us. We look forward to seeing you!! And, please remember to register with Judy for this program.
NPS Event: Holden Arboretum Canopy Walk is this coming Saturday October 10th!!
Please join us. We look forward to seeing you!!
too much and too hard.
For our first wildflower walk of 2015, we witnessed a sampling of the sights and sounds of spring's awakening.
"... to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring ...."
In Ms. Barnhart's narrative of the Sherwin Preserve Walk, she describes the many visual delights: plant, animal, and geology, we encountered during our walk on a mighty fine May morning.
"The acorn is the only seed I can think of which is left by nature to take care of itself. It matures without protection, falls heavily and helplessly to the ground to be eaten and trodden on by animals, yet the few which escape and those which are trodden under are well able to compete in the race for life. ... It drives its tap root into the earth in spite of grass and brush and litter...."
One of the most deeply meaningful experiences of being out in nature is the feeling of being connected -- in and through time. You are not only witnessing the present, but the past and future as well. Those who participated in the Thompson Ledges walk observed the many hundreds of sprouting, broken, and trodded upon acorns similar to those Robert Douglas observed and wrote about in 1889.
The "what" experienced in nature can be anything. The importance is the experience itself.

Auto ID technologies are used extensively in the automotive industry to manage assets, track the movement of parts and materials throughout the supply chain and document their use in production. This is done by reading 1D or 2D bar-codes or RFID tags at various stages in the logistics process and the product life-cycle.
Although the current Excel based MMOG/LE tool has served the industry well over the past decade, Odette has now launched a modern browser based application called MMOG.np (new platform) to take its place.
These prestigious speakers will be sharing their insights on the drive to digital of the automotive supply chain.
The current version of Global MMOG (Version 4) was first released in 2014 and now needs to be reviewed in order to ensure that it takes account of the constant evolutions in supply chain processes and technology. A team of supply chain experts from Odette and AIAG member companies has therefore been assembled and is meeting on a weekly basis to define the new requirements for Version 5 of the tool.
Although the current Excel based MMOG/LE tool has served the industry well over the past decade, Odette has now developed a modern browser based application called MMOG.np (new platform) to take its place. MMOG/LE users from both sides of the Atlantic have been involved in the development and testing of this new platform to ensure that it meets not only the current needs but also the 'wish lists' of both customers and suppliers in the automotive supply chain.
While the digitalisation of supply chain processes upstream from vehicle manufacturers has been underway for many years, the processes downstream from the manufacturer have been somewhat neglected up to now. The increasing implementation of on-board telematics in new cars has, however, given a fresh impetus to the digitalisation of finished vehicle logistics.
Many companies in Germany are still using the original version of the Odette File Transfer Protocol (OFTP) over ISDN to exchange commercial and engineering information with their business partners but the ISDN service will soon no longer be available.
Automotive OEMs encourage the use of Returnable Packaging, generally known as Returnable Transport Items (RTI), to move parts from their suppliers to their production lines or after-sales facilities. RTIs enable companies to eliminate the costs involved in the disposal of one-way packaging such as cardboard boxes and also help to reduce the environmental footprint of the automotive industry.


Mrs Ng (Veronica Yip) is diagnosed as being temporarily blind for three days, her husband (Anthony Chan) has to be out of town for this period, leaving her to fend for herself. Sam (Anthony Wong) visits Mrs Ng as an acquaintance of her husband and is friendly at first but his true intentions soon surface and he takes advantage of the situation to terrorise her, but is there more to it than meets the eye?
3 Days of a blind girl a.k.a Retribution sight unseen looks every part the category III opus, thanks to a very exploitable storyline and the casting of Veronica Yip and Anthony Wong in the lead roles. It actually received a category II rating, which in places it pushes very hard.
Veronica Yip is excellent as the blind woman and she generates considerable sympathy for her plight, while Anthony Wong is great again in a role that he could probably do in his sleep, his character is given even more colour by the amazing hair and wardrobe job he received for this film, it's quite something!
Director Chan Wing Chiu also does an excellent job, maximising the space in the limited location with great use of camera angles, all of which helps to keep the suspense building. He also shows admirable restraint in allowing Yip and Wong to carry the movie without having to resort to cat III depravities to keep your attention. That isn't to say the film is for everyone however, Yip's assets are used to keep the viewers interest on numerous occasions with low cut tops and floaty dresses shot from fan service style angles. Perhaps the most famous scene in the film is with Yip naked in the shower, unaware she has been joined by Wong behind her, miming washing along with her and worse! It manages to be horrifying and extremely funny at the same time.
3 Days of a blind girl is a fun and very effective thriller, alternating between suspense and horror throughout the running time and unusually for a 1993 film in this genre it's relatively restrained. I do think it's probably a better film for it's restraint but as a final thought, it did make me wonder where it might have gone if the filmmakers had decided to go completely balls out (No I don't mean Anthony Wong, that's a terrible mental image!) and really gone for that category III badge.
Excellent review...yeah it sounds like an interesting film alrite, I kinda like these voyeuristic subjects.
Thanks Wes, It certainly has a voyeuristic feel to it, I'm sure you would get a kick out of it.

Incentivizing More Sustainable Behavior Change
Editors note on our Sustainable Cities series:
2012 marked the first time in human history a majority of the world's population lived in urban areas. Cities can be major drivers of economic growth and human development, and because city governments are often more politically flexible than national or international institutions, they can also act as laboratories for social innovation. But they can at the same time be centers of disease outbreaks and poverty traps. How successfully cities are able to generate sustainable solutions to their challenges will determine development outcomes for billions of the world's population. Over the next year our series on Sustainable Cities will showcase how some cities are tackling this problem.
Poor Little Fishbowl Sink. Dancing Crosswalk Signal.
These are not the results of a strange word game. Instead they are two examples of recently unveiled, thought-provoking sustainable design projects.
The first, Poor Little Fishbowl Sink is at its core addressing environmental sustainability: it features a fairly average looking sink with a goldfish in a decorative fishbowl perched atop. As soon as the tap is turned on, the water level in the fishbowl begins to drop. The message is clear: finish washing your hands before the goldfish is left gasping in an empty fishbowl. In the words of the designer Yan Lu, it "offers an emotional way to persuade consumers to think about saving water, by making consumption tangible." It points to wider issues of excessive water consumption, and future scarcity in our urban water resources.
The second, Dancing Crosswalk Signal refers to an experimental set-up piloted in Portugal this past summer. Instead of an ordinary crosswalk light, featuring the typical stationary little man made of red LED lights, the stop signal instead displayed a happily dancing man. This dancing man was linked to a real-time dance box located a short distance away, in which passers-by could perform any dance moves of their choice, and the red light man would follow suit. The results included an increased number of pedestrians that actually stopped at the crosswalk for the duration of the red light, with dramatically reduced incidence of jay-walking. The intent here was focused on another facet of urban sustainability: attempting to reduce the number of accidents that occur between cars and pedestrians at these busy crosswalks.
The gasping fish and dancing crosswalk man have in common that they are both visually and emotionally appealing ways aimed at helping people change their behavior, encouraging more sustainable use of natural resources and sustainable co-existence of pedestrians and cars in busy urban areas respectively. The wider discussion this stimulates is one of motivations and outcomes, one of how to create lasting sustainable behavior change. When striving to elicit more desirable behavior from society, to what extent can behavior change result from self-driven, purely ethics-based reasons- that is doing something simply because it is right? Can lasting change realistically come from clever gimmicks like the dancing traffic light? How does the effectiveness of these innovative but unusual strategies compare to more traditional approaches that focus on (de-)incentivizing (un)desirable behavior? Furthermore, if people are doing the "right thing", how much should the underlying reason or their true personal motivation matter?
First, we examine this question of self-driven behavior change, or the extent to which we do something simply because we think we should, because it seems like the right thing to do. It seems not illogical to ask why we cannot simply teach people to care about the environment, and then presume that sustainable behavior change will follow. For instance, prior to 2008, policies aimed at changing environmental behavior in the United Kingdom included a focus on providing the public with relevant environmental information. Unfortunately, research has since indicated that this typically has little to no effect on people's actual behavior. This could suggest two things: either people did not learn from the information provided; or they did learn what more environmentally-friendly behavior could entail, but did not act on this newfound knowledge. In fact, both of these factors are responsible for contributing to the lack of observable behavior change. Informational campaigns have frequently been shown to be less effective than alternative forms of learning, such as observing other people's behavior. However, even among people who do possess the necessary information about the relative benefit of one course of action over another, increased awareness does not necessarily lead to action. Hence, changing attitudes and providing information, without directly focusing on changing behavior, unfortunately proves to be a relatively ineffective strategy for widespread change.
So what methods of initiating social change have proven effective on a large scale? While an entire article could be dedicated to this particular group of tools that encourage behavior change, the large-scale success of economic incentive and disincentive measures is mentioned just briefly here. Incentives such as subsidies to support desired activities and the imposition of taxes on undesirable activities have been used widely around the world and often to great success. For instance, the imposition of a gasoline tax in the US has been correlated with decreased fuel consumption per capita and increased use of more fuel efficient vehicles. In Germany, a mandatory deposit to be paid on drink cans incentivized the return of these cans to recycling facilities, radically changing consumer recycling behavior in Germany and subsequently around the world.
So, where do novel strategies such as the dancing traffic light fit into this spectrum of drivers for sustainable change? Can lasting change realistically come from these sorts of unusual approaches? There have been numerous studies that try to pinpoint a robust and generally applicable sequence of steps that result in sustained behavior change. While details vary, typical components include attracting people's attention; uncovering barriers preventing action; using persuasive messages tailored to the audience; provide concrete strategies for action; enhancing motivation to act as well as building social and community support to maintain the changed behavior. The fishbowl and dancing man both fit neatly into one of these steps, namely that of attracting people's attention to an issue on the societal agenda. A comparable example is the introduction of public litter bins in Berlin which say thank you when passers-by put something in the bin. No long-term research results are available for these particular examples, but knowledge of the wider field of behavior change would suggest that this momentary catching of people's attention will alone not be enough to create lasting change, without the support of additional motivation, education, practical guidance and follow-through. Eliciting lasting change in people's environmental behavior requires novel and at times complex practical interventions that stretch across a range of different sectors and are operative at every level of society. These kinds of attention grabbing strategies form only the first step in a longer transformative process.
Having looked briefly at some of the research that is being conducted around the world in this field of eliciting desirable behavior change, the final question considered here is a rhetorical one; one that escapes the reach of science, public policy and even human psychology; one that delves into the realm of ethics and one that every human must decide for themselves: should it matter whether we are driven by true personal motivation, by a rational economic incentive, or because of a catchy and appealing gimmick, so long as we are doing the "right thing"?

Mood: wtf
My hair, instead of being brown and white, is black and yellow. While there is obviously a streak in it, it does not look sufficiently like the desired effect to actually be recognizeable as such. Yet it's not quite *totally* wrong, either.
Really. The whole damned thing is like my hair: the idea is there, but something went wrong. Not critically wrong. I can't scream and rail and be infuriated at how they screwed it up. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was not *good*. It was probably worth a matinee price, but certainly not worth more. It did not rise to the, "It didn't suck!" level of X-Men; it wasn't that good, and it sure wasn't that *shockingly*, *unexpectedly* good. I went in with even lower expectations than I thought I had, so I'm not disappointed, because I thought it was going to suck. I'm not thrilled, either. It's like, y'know how the first two movies obviously belonged to a similar but different Marvel universe from the comic books? Well, X3 belongs to yet another universe.
It did start out well. I thought, early on, "Hey, maybe they're going to pull it off." For those of you who saw Highlander: Endgame in the theatres, X3 has a similar problem: it starts out looking like it might be a pretty darned good movie, and then partway through everything inexplicably falls apart. In Endgame, the point where it all went to hell was after the sex scene.
In X3, the point where it all goes to hell is a BIG FAT HUGE SPOILER, so if you do not want to know about the BIG FAT HUGE SPOILER, stop reading now.
You're still reading, aren't you. Well, fine. I did warn you.
Early on, I was going with the flow. I went with the flow through the first big fat huge spoiler, which is that the newly reborn Phoenix apparently obliterates Scott Summers. I'd been warned about that, so I was prepared for it. And while I don't think it was a good idea, I don't actually believe he's dead, you know, because Phoenix-force obliterations are the sort of thing you come back from.
Bizarrely, nobody in the movie seemed to give the slightest shit about this obliteration. Even so, that's not really where it fell apart. It fell apart when Jean obliterated Xavier.
This should have been an incredibly shocking moment with huge power. Instead it's followed by a funeral scene that totally lacked emotional integrity. Logan, standing apart from the actual funeral, was the only one who seemed affected. And things...did keep going from there, but I kept thinking I was watching six actors in search of a plot, or possibly a lot of special effects in search of a story.
Nobody seems to have much emotional reaction to anything. There's no *heart* to it. Jean...stands around looking scary a lot, but does *nothing* else. The Phoenix effect is...cool, but there was no fiery phoenix payoff at the end, which was one thing I was actively disappointed with. Wolvie goes all Leadership Dude, which is just ... weird. There were so many cameos it stopped being fun. Rogue goes off to get the cure and disappears for half a movie. I kept waiting for her to show up and help save the day. Nope. No day-saving here. Beast was...like my hair. He was big and blue and furry and didn't use enough big words, or twinkle enough. The fastball special wasn't a fastball special. Colossus threw Wolvie, yeah, but he spun around a couple times to do it. Shit, if you're going to spend as much as you did on special effects, why not do the fastball special right? Angel was a *total* throwaway character. I mean, *no point at all*. It was just...
...like my hair.
There *were* some nice moments, honestly. Bobby iced up. That made me really, really happy, 'cause I've been waiting to see that for three movies. Jean held back Scott's optic blasts, and we got to see the effect of her doing that, and it was really cool. Logan had some good moments. Rogue did not. Beast did say, "Oh my stars and garters," which was nice. Kitty was pretty good. I didn't hate it. It just...meh. Like my hair. Meh.

L.I.S.D. Votes in Favor of Proposed 67.9 Million Dollar Construction of New High School, LIVINGSTON, January 22, 2008 - In a business meeting at the Livingston Independent School District administrative office, the L.I.S.D. Board of Trustees voted in favor of a proposed 67.9 million dollar plan for construction of a new high school. The vote was a unanimous 7 - 0 in favor of the proposal. The board of trustees which consists of: Henry Ager, Frank Henderson, Ben Ogletree III, Bea Ellis, Brian Bounds, Jeff Galloway, and Mike Nettles followed the advice of LISD Superintendent, Dr. Darrell Myers. Their decision came after studying the issue for nearly 3 years. According to project manager, architects and building constructors, the cost of construction is going up 1percent a month which comes to 12 percent a year.
Among other things, Dr. Myers said that while swapping the high school and jr. high would cost less, it would do nothing to relieve the growing population of the elementary school. Dr. Myers also stated that while other parts of the country aren't doing so well economically, the Gulf Coast and East Texas economies (which include Livingston) are balooning strong economies.
The board will meet in February to set a bond election which will probably be scheduled for May which will likely fall on the second Tuesday in May (May 13).


In my spare time, I organize workshops with other philosophers. This January, Anne Jeffrey, Chris Tweedt, Allison Thornton Krile, Jesse Schupack, Liz Jackson, and I are launching the 1st Annual Junior Workshop in Philosophy of Religion. The theme for this workshop is friendship, and you can check out the schedule here.

Piano Practice Tips For Parents — Part 1 of 2
So you have a child learning piano, and he or she says that they don't want to practice. What do you do?
Normally with questions like this, there is no one right answer, but on this occasion you're in luck because at least part of the answer is clear and unequivocal and, in my opinion, beyond dispute.
When I was young piano student growing up in Dublin, my piano teacher Prof Anthony Glavin, a Chopin specialist at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, introduced me and my family to a wonderful Hungarian pianist by the name of George Feyer. What was unusual about Feyer was that he was a classically trained pianist with the most incredible technique that enabled him to play blisteringly fast passages with a seemingly effortlessly light touch.
Upon graduating, he turned to 'light' music upon graduating, and released a series of top-selling "Echoes of..." records on Vox Records. (e.g. Echoes of Paris, Echoes of Italy, Echoes of Latin Americ, etc.). Basically he would take well known tunes and string them together into elaborate medleys that would show off his technique. We would often listen to his records in awe.
But a little known fact about Feyer is that when he was a child he hated piano practice so much that his mother (herself a piano teacher) used to tie his legs to the piano stool to stop him from running away.
Now, in today's climate of political correctness I am not for one second advocating that parents should choose to tie their children to the piano stool.
However, I am 1,000% certain that if Feyer were still alive today, he would tell you that his mother did him and the rest of the world the most wonderful service by insisting that he continue with his piano studies. Not only did Feyer's obviously profound love of piano and music shine through his playing and bring joy to countless fans around the world, it was also through his piano playing that he was able to support his family through what was at times a very difficult life.
You can read more about George Feyer here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Feyer_(pianist). To hear his playing, just search on George Feyer on YouTube. (Echoes of Latin America Side 2 is an excellent place to start).
But what about you and your child?
Well, I can tell you from experience that the vast majority of piano students want to give up their lessons/practice at some stage. I myself as a child/teenager went through at least five significant phases of wanting to give up piano lessons, and I can honestly tell you that STARTING ME ON PIANO LESSONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY NOT LETTING ME GIVE UP WAS THE GREATEST THING MY PARENTS EVERY DID FOR ME (and they were very good parents).
So the answer to the question, what do you do when your child wants to give up piano really falls into two parts:
Part 1: Firstly remember that as the parent, YOU are the one responsible for making important decisions for your child - decisions that the child cannot possibly have sufficient insight to make for themselves. - THE DECISION IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE. That is the unequivocal part.
Part 2: Now that you have made your decision, you'll need to consider how best to implement it. While I do have some suggestions, ultimately this second part is up to you (but hey, at least I've helped you with the most important part, i.e. making the right decision).
Every parent and every child is unique. As long as your decision and the method you choose to action it are out of love for your child, your child will thank you one day, believe me.
My next blog article will delve more into Part 2, i.e. some of the things you can do to encourage and support your child in their piano lessons and piano practice.

YG considering adding a new member to 2NE1
With YG Entertainment finally going forward on debuting their new girl group, many fans were left asking about the future of 2NE1.
With Minzy's departure from the top girl group, 2NE1 is now left with only three member, leaving fans to wonder whether or not they would be adding a new member to the group (much like KARA did after Nicole and Jiyoung's departure.)
In fact, in a recent interview with X Sports News, YG Entertainment's Yang Hyun Suk addressed the question, and clarified that he is still considering if they will keep the group as three or if they would be adding a new member. Although he didn't confirm that 2NE1 will be adding a member, the confession that nothing was finally and that there was a possibility of a lineup change definitely shocked fans.
