Woman dies after falling through floor at Ottawa demolition site; friend faces charges
The temporary flooring at the construction site was not secured properly and didn't actually cover the open area.

Tracey Anne Millsop died while helping friend at an Ottawa construction site.	jpg
Tracey Anne Millsop's untimely death on May 3, 2018 never made the news until now.
Mother of two children. Known for helping others, whether as a teacher's aide or shovelling snow. Married to Fonze Latourelle, they spent their free time boating and exploring the outdoors as a family, online photos show.
It was on a Thursday that Millsop, 47, went to help a friend, Cory Peters, clear debris from an interior demolition job he supervised on Cambridge Street South in Ottawa.
Millsop and her husband followed their friend Peters to the site, where they were to help remove debris from the demolition of the three-storey duplex.
The sheathing on the first floor had been removed and there was a makeshift pathway built with wooden planks. According to Ontario Health and Safety Act charges, which have yet to be publicly broadcast, the planks were different lengths and placed overlapped. The planks didn't cover the width of the gaps between the floor joists, meaning there were openings.
It was on this unsafe pathway that Millsop fell through the open gap between two joists.
She hit her ribs on a joist and remained conscious after the fall. Her friends helped her to her feet and she said she didn't want to go to the hospital, so they left Ottawa and her husband started driving home to Gatineau. But when she lost consciousness, he drove her to Gatineau hospital where she died from her injuries.
The coroner concluded Millsop died because her ribs punctured her liver.
The temporary flooring at the construction site was not secured properly and didn't actually cover the open area, which left the joists exposed, according to a Ministry of Labour report.
Peters, a friend of Millsop, was charged under the Ontario Health and Safety Act with failing to ensure a protective covering over the open work surface, and is expected to plead guilty to the non-criminal charge.
"My client, Mr. Peters, feels horribly about the entire situation and the loss of his friend. He is expected to take full responsibility," said defence lawyer Joshua Clarke.
While Peters is expected to plead guilty in 2020 and likely be ordered to pay a fine, his employer, Sucasa Construction Corp. has pleaded not guilty and will take the case to trial.
"This employee (Peters) was not acting on behalf of my client (Sucasa) and we are fighting the charge," said defence lawyer Bruce Engel.
The workplace-safety charge against Sucasa has not been tested in court.

The mystery of how the Dead Sea Scrolls remain legible has puzzled theologians and scientists for years. It is now been confirmed that our ancestors used hitherto-unknown technology.
Despite being almost 2,000 years old, the Dead Sea Scrolls remain in excellent condition. The first of the texts was found by a shepherd a little outside Jerusalem in 1947. Containing texts written in Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew, the scrolls contain elements of the Hebrew Bible.
Many of the scrolls are hugely damaged, as you'd expect with documents of such an age, and have been reproduced so that they can be studied. However, the Temple Scroll, which was found in a cave in 1956, is remarkably well-maintained.
This attracts the interest of scientists, who wonder how such an ancient document could remain in such excellent condition. Despite being damaged by moisture over time, its 8-meter length remains legible to the naked eye. The question is, how?
New evidence suggests that our ancient ancestors had access to more advanced technology than we thought.
How were the Dead Sea Scrolls written?
Typically, a scroll would be crafted from animal flesh. The animal would be skinned, with all traces of fat and fur removed, and the skin left to dry in the sun. It would often be stretched and rubbed with salt. Ink could then be applied to the organic scroll.
Machu Picchu's strange location may have finally been solved
The color of a scroll usually indicates where it was created. Scrolls created in the East typically boast a brown, tan shade, while those from the West are generally a paler white.
After careful consideration, it was discovered the Temple Scroll did not meet these criteria. The material used to make the scroll is not untampered animal skin, and the ink appears to be somewhat raised, as though it has not been applied directly to animal flesh. Naturally, this has piqued the curiosity of experts.
An inch of the master scroll was cut off and investigated, using a range of 21st-century tools and technology. The sample was scanned and inspected in minute detail, so that scientists could pick up anything and everything to do with the manufacturing technique. The results suggested that everything we know about the Dead Sea Scrolls is incorrect.
A chemical compound containing calcium, sodium, and sulfur was found on the surface of the scroll. Added before the text was written, this compound provides a protective coat for the scroll and explains why the text does not appear to be written directly onto the animal skin. This is presumably why the scroll remains legible to this day and could also explain the coloring of the scroll.

The Temple Scroll is considerably lighter than most Eastern scrolls, especially those of this ancient era. This newly discovered technique raises further questions. It appears that the Dead Sea Scrolls were not created using traditional Eastern or Western techniques. What's more, salt traces were found on the scroll – but the salt in question is not found in the Dead Sea.
This suggests that the Temple Scroll could have been written elsewhere. These are questions that merit further investigation. Additional research into the scroll has been promised, as religious scholars and science enthusiasts both search for a satisfying explanation.
Why are these scrolls so important?
The Dead Sea Scrolls are a pivotal element of the Jewish faith. They contain some of the earliest recorded religious writings, which were combined to compile the books of the Hebrew Old Testament. While they do not contain any text that is unavailable elsewhere, the scrolls remain a treasured element of spiritual history.
The most significant and fascinating issue surrounding the scrolls is the fact they remain in such excellent condition. The manuscripts were hidden for centuries, and yet remain legible.
This reassures religious academics that the impact of the meaning of the Old Testament translations has not been lost through the years. In the eyes of the strict followers of Judaism, this ensures that the word of God has not been diluted or paraphrased excessively over time.
If you want to see the scrolls for yourself, get to Washington DC. The Museum of the Bible is home to seventeen fragments of the scrolls – though five have since been announced as suspected forgeries. For a more authentic experience, you'll need to visit Jerusalem. The Shrine of the Book is host to the world's largest collection of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments.

DEATH OF SUPERMAN LIVES, THE: WHAT HAPPENED?
THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN LIVES: WHAT HAPPENED?
(director/writer: Jon Schnepp; cinematographer: Carl King; editors: Marie Jamora, Jon Schnepp, Vice Cooler; music: Frederick William Scott; cast: Colleen Atwood, Bill Boes, Brom, Robert Meyer Burnett, Tim Burton, Sylvain Despretz, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Derek Frey, Ian Fried, Kerry Gammill, Dan Gilroy, Rick Heinrichs, Michael Anthony Jackson, Steve Johnson, Grant Morrison, Jon Peters, Kevin Smith, Wesley Strick, Derek Thompson, Pete Von Sholly;Runtime: 104; MPAA Rating: NR; producers: Jon Schnepp, Holly Payne; Showtime; 2015)
"A talky behind the scenes look at the Tim Burton proposed adaptation of Superman Lives."
A talky behind the scenes look at the Tim Burton proposed adaptation of Superman Lives, in which the offbeat actor Nicolas Cage would have played Superman. Warner Bros pulled the plug on it three weeks before its shoot in April 1998. This documentary, also never released in theaters, was directed with great passion by animation director Jon Schnepp ("Cast in Stone"). He looks at the 1996-97 pre-production plans and interviews the creative team behind it. The film's highlight is the numerous conceptual artwork and designs intended for the doomed film. The filmmaker reveals the backstory of why the film never got made. That it is mainly suited for comic book geeks who are superhero fans and Tim Burton followers, and that it will not attract a wide audience. I was mildly interested to see hear the subjects say how afraid Hollywood is of creative types and how difficult it is to get a film made that doesn't conform to its norms. The geeky Schnepp intensively interviews director Tim Burton, producer Jon Peters, and screenwriters Kevin Smith, Wesley Strick, and Dan Gilroy. The different scripts were drawn from The Death of Superman (1992-3), DC's biggest selling Superman title of the 1990s. At the same time Schnepp gets some good insights and anecdotes from people like costume designer Colleen Atwood, former Warner Bros. top executive Lorenzo di Bonaventura, assistant director Derek Frey and about a dozen different comic book concept artists (like Rick Heinrichs & Michael Anthony Jackson) who worked on "Superman Lives" in one fashion or another. Nicolas Cage appears in archival footage posing in costume and comments that it's too bad the project never came to pass because he thinks it would have been a mind-bender. But the truth is we can only speculate on how it would have turned out. Though one thing is certain, such a freaky Superman would alter the way we look at the iconic super-hero. The film leaves us with the mild revelation that Warner Bros. pulled the plug on it because of the big budget and the thought that such a strange film wouldn't be a good investment.

This new publication centres around a small village with a long history, five miles from Buxton in the parish of Quarnford. This is Flash, and that clever title echoes the extensive delvings of Margaret Parker, who intersperses more than 100 photographs and documents with distant events and inhabitants' memories that range from fast-fading to fresh.
Flash seems to have been left 'at the back' more than most. Electricity for the school was generated by a windmill until 1962, while the Travellers Rest (once a place of strange ceremonies and illegal oaths) was lit by Calor gas. It was a further 22 years before mains water reached the village.
Farming has always been the mainstay around here, in fact Flash had a cattle market until thirty years ago. Other hands have turned to coal mining, button making, growing watercress and ochre preparation. All this in the face of Flash's infamous weather - 'nine months of winter and three months of bad weather'. One modern-day vicar, referring to the vicarage, complained that he 'never had such a miserable and uncomfortable three months in my life ...' At least a distant predecessor enjoyed a clutch of distractions, to the point that his flock pleaded for his removal on account of his 'bad morals'.
Bad morals of a financial kind clung to some of the many hawkers and pedlars based in the locality, known as Flash-men.
Whilst Margaret Parker has clearly spent an enormous amount of time amongst the archives, her attention to personal reminiscences brings the story into the present. The famous Flash Tea Pot Day has latterly been revived as Teapot2 and nowhere have volunteers worked harder or more hands-on to provide themselves with a village hall.

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Animal Welfare held a meeting on 20th November 2018 to discuss an update to the Group's England-wide dog strategy (produced in 2015). Angela Smith chaired the meeting, and proposed a focus on responsible dog ownership, before requesting an update from the Canine and Feline Sector Group (CFSG).
Responsible dog ownership
Chris Laurence from the CFSG gave an update presentation on how to get the principles of responsible dog ownership over to dog owners, saying:
A working group on responsible dog ownership has been set up, with 6 basic principles of being a responsible dog owner: microchipping and having up to date details, the protection of dogs' health, happy dogs with suitable diets, sufficient socialisation and training, ensuring the dog is under control, not a threat or nuisance, and respectful dog owners so communities welcome them and their dog.
The CFSG is now looking at how to get those principles over to dog owners, but there is a resistant group. The CFSG is now looking at using behavioural insights techniques, possibly with funds from Defra but there will also be a reliance on other sources of income which CFSG are looking into.
Representatives from Dog's Trust, RSPCA, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and Giles Watling MP discussed the behavioural change campaign and the Scottish Government's work on responsible dog ownership, and it was agreed that the campaign was a good example of best practice, as well as how Government and organisations can work together, but that such a campaign would require a significant amount of funding.
There was also a discussion of how to measure the outcomes of such a campaign, with suggestions including keeping a record of those who have bought puppies and cross referencing that where there is later a reported issue, vets asking questions on how puppies were procured, tracking puppy contracts, and local authorities keeping better records of complaints, which could allow better indicative numbers and trends.
The CFSG acknowledged these suggestions and stated that an outside agency looking into the behavioural change project would be able to offer different ways to measure outcomes. On timelines, the CFSG said that the working group has had 3 meetings on this and a steering group update takes place this week, with the full group approached in early December.
The Chair noted that there was general interest in this topic and that the CFSG should look at the data, the baseline and the measurement of progress, with a further update to be given to the APPG in 6-8 months.
Livestock worrying
The Chair updated the Group on progress in relation to livestock worrying, stating that a meeting with the Minister had taken place over the summer, and a commitment secured to explore issues relating to data and making livestock worrying a recordable crime, as well as an exploration of whether the Dangerous Dogs Act is applicable to livestock worrying incidents and if cases could be brought against individuals.
The APPG then heard from Dave Allen from North Wales Police:
A working group has been set up between Government, police and interested parties to look at livestock worrying and livestock attacks.
It has been suggested that section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 could be used to help prosecute owners in the case of livestock worrying (with reference to s10 defining the term 'dangerously out of control').
The Chair stated that the recordability of the crime is key in this regard, and that the Dangerous Dogs Act may need amending via statutory instrument in order to become applicable to livestock worrying. Representatives from AHWB and CFSG suggested that what was needed was a holistic view of dog control legislation, with prevention being much better than cure, but sufficient punishments being in place to dissuade irresponsible dog ownership.
The Chair agreed that clarifications to the law would need to come from Ministers, and that the Group should write to the relevant Minister seeking that clarification.
The Chair then turned the discussion to the rapid disappearance of small and medium-sized abattoirs, and its knock on effects on animal welfare. Co-Chair Lord Trees provided an update:
This discussion was brought about by the recent requirement for CCTV in abattoirs, with a suggestion it might cost money and lead to closures.
There are also wider issues of financial sustainability of niche abattoirs, with the process being a costly one.
There is scope for the procedure to face changes after Brexit, for example over who needs to be present.
The APPG agreed that they needed a specific working group to provide data across this subject area, evidence that SME abattoirs are good for animal welfare, and some evidence on the impact of CCTV legislation on the broader viability of abattoirs. It was also agreed that a letter reminding the Minister of the APPG's communications on this issue should be drafted, as well as a probing amendment being tabled for the Agriculture Bill in the House of Lords, to get on record a Ministerial response to possibly having money paid out as a public good for animal welfare in abattoirs.
Puppy Smuggling
The Chair asked for an update from the Dog's Trust on the issue of puppy smuggling, with the Trust stating:
The Dog's Trust's 4th report on puppy smuggling included reports from Serbia, a country outside of the EU with different disease control regulations.
Similar issues of falsifying vet passports and declaring puppies older than they are in reality, as well as a variety of other tactics from transporters.
Seizures have plummeted, and Brexit should be used as an opportunity to review the legislation, although domestic legislation, for example on penalties, is also important.
Sir Roger Gale MP asked a question about domestic puppy farming, raising the issue of the plight of the bitches, and suggesting this often takes a backseat to puppies, but that more needs to be done to address the issue of the poor conditions that bitches are kept in in the UK. It was agreed by the Chair, Lord Trees and representatives from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home that standards must be enforced considering the high demand for puppies in this country, but that puppy farming with good standards of health and welfare should be worked towards, in particular telling the story so that the public know where their puppies are from.
The Chair also referenced a recommendation from the EFRA Committee that there should be a central register for training, inspection and licensing.
CFSG to give APPG an update on responsible dog ownership work in 6-8 months.
The APPG to write to the Minister to ask for clarification on where amendments to the law should be made so that s3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act can be applied to livestock worrying.
An APPG working group should be set up to gather evidence on the financial viability of abattoirs, their benefits for animal welfare and the regulatory burden they face.
The APPG to write to the Minister reminding him of an earlier letter on abattoirs and asking for a response.
A probing amendment to be tabled in the House of Lords to look at money being available for abattoirs as a public good under the Agriculture Bill.
Date and topic of next meeting to be agreed and distributed in January.
I've amended these two as I think this is what was meant. Am I right?

As if you will believe 6 Million and Shrunken Heads and Lampshades and Soap and Gas Chambers, even after it has all been disproven, you are apt to believe anything right?
No need to even STATE that what they are preaching has no back up in reality. You will believe it, just if they say it. Even if all you have to do is to grab the reference material.
Aside from the fact that this quotation does not reflect something Hitler ever said or wrote, it's also false if simply considered as a shorthand version of what Hitler thought and/or did. These words reflect a misperception that Hitler's political maneuvers on his way to seizing dictatorial control over Germany were akin to the legend of the boiled frog, that Hitler supposedly made a series of small, gradual changes in German law and government that chipped away at the rights of the citizenry over an extended period of time, avoiding any single large changes that might provoke resistance from the people until it was too late for them to effectively oppose him.
In fact, this is the historical opposite of what happened. Once he gained a position of political authority in Germany, Hitler quickly headed down the road of consolidating power by making very large changes in a short period of time.
Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. Within a month, Hitler used the occurrence of a fire at the Reichstag building (the assembly location of the German Parliament) as an excuse to urge von Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree (the "Presidential Order for the Protection of People and State") which suspended of civil rights, banned the left-wing press, and authorized the mass arrest of communists and socialists (a move that also allowed the Nazi party to assume a majority in the Reichstag by taking the seats of arrested communist delegates). Before another month had passed, the Nazi-majority Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, which gave the German Cabinet (i.e., Chancellor Hitler) the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. The combination of the Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act effectively transformed Hitler's government into a legal dictatorship within two months of his appointment as chancellor. These actions were not "imperceptible reductions" in freedom and rights — they were a massive change in the established order implemented in a very short period of time.

Q: Convert between timezones and daylightsavings I'm sending date and time, separated, with javascript to a server:
var date = $("#txtDate").toISOString();
var time = $("#txtTime").toISOString();

I get both objects in server side, but my server has a different timezone than mine and is offset by an hour. So decided to convert timezones:
var timeToSave = date.AddHours(time.Hours).addMinutes(time.Minutes);
var timeZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Mountain Standard Time");
var newDateTime = TimeZoneinfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(timeToSave, timeZone);

That was working well until last sunday when daylight savings time ended in my timezone, and I got an hour offset again.
I realized the "timezone" class has a method to know if "datetime" is on daylight savings (IsDaylightSavingtime) but this method always return true no matter what datetime I send as param.
if (timeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(newDateTime))
{
    timeToSave = timeToSave.AddHours(-1);
}

How I can fix it?
Thanks.
Update:
Following the answer by Matt Johnson I was able to add time to date using the momentjs library and send it server side. This is what the new code looks like:
//javascript

//this return a moment object
var dateMoment = row.find(".txtDate").data('DateTimePicker').getDate();
//this return a moment object too
var timeMoment = row.find(".txtTime").data('DateTimePicker').getDate();

//This object I send to server side
var dateToSend = dateMoment.add(timeMoment.format('HH'), 'hours').add(timeMoment.format('mm'), 'minutes');

Then in server side I do the conversion between timezones
var timeZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Mountain Standard Time");

var dateTimeToSave = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(datetimeFromJS.ToUniversalTime(), timeZone);

But I still have an hour offset, I need to have the same date and time the user inputs.

A: Do not use IsDaylightSavingTime to decide whether to add or subtract an hour yourself.  That work is already being done by the ConvertTimeFromUtc method.
Despite the name, "Mountain Standard Time" here does already account for daylight saving.  It is inclusive of both MST and MDT, with North American transitions (such as Denver).
The likely source of problem is with this:
// client-side JS
var date = $("#txtDate").toISOString();
var time = $("#txtTime").toISOString();

// server-side C#
var timeToSave = date.AddHours(time.Hours).addMinutes(time.Minutes);

Instead of sending date and time to the server separately, combine them on the client-side before converting to UTC.  Then you won't need to add them together on the server-side.
In other words, you can't reliably convert from local to UTC with date-only or time-only data.
Update
Based on your edit, (and I believe the function on the date-picker is date() not getDate()), you should change your client-side code to:
var dateToSend = moment(dateMoment).hour(timeMoment.hour()).minute(timeMoment.minute());
var utcString = dateToSend.toISOString();

Do not call .ToUniversalTime() on the server-side code.  The value you receive is already in universal time (as converted by the toISOString() function).

← In Defense Of The Thirsty: A Plea For Water At Parties (Not The Burn)
It's Hip To Be Square →
Burners Inspire The New Fight Club
Way back in the early years of this blog, we brought you news of the ultimate art car: Kuratas. A 4-ton, 13-foot tall, $1.3 million art robot, made in Japan.
[Kogoro Kurata, Kuratas Robot Designer]:
"The robots we saw in our generation were always big, always had people riding them. So I don't think those have much meaning in the real world. But it was really my dream to ride in one of those giant robots, and I think that it's a kind of Japanese culture. I kept thinking that it's something that Japanese had to do."
The creator showed off the Kuratas Robot at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo. It is human controlled; from the cockpit, a driver can move the robot's arms and drive it up to 6.2 miles per hour.
The battle mech is just a prototype, but Kurata's website is already taking orders. People have options for weapons, shields, and even an iPhone holder. This prototype was armed with Gatling cannons that can shoot BBs.
But don't break out your wallet just yet. The Kuratas Robot starts at around $1.3 million, and options can send it much higher.
[Wataru Yoshizaki, Kuratas Programmer]:
"If indeed giant robots and cars are being sold at the same price, then I would, of course, choose the giant robot.
[Source: YouTube]
Billionaire's cars have doors that go up, not sideways. I would personally choose this McLaren P1-GTR over the art robot…
Well, America have responded with a robot of their own…and thrown down the gauntlet.
From megabots.com:
"Finally, after millennia of bullshit agriculture and metallurgy and revolutions industrial, political, cultural, whatever, shit's finally getting good." –Jason Torchinsky, Jalopnik
MegaBots, Inc., uses cutting-edge robotics technology to create the giant piloted fighting robots of science fiction, videogames and movies. These robots fight in epic-scale arena combat the likes of which the world has never seen before.
MegaBots are 15-foot-tall, internally piloted humanoid robots that fire cannonball-sized paintballs at each other at speeds of over 120 miles per hour. As the robots battle, armor panels crack and break off, smoke and sparks pour out of the robots, limbs eventually fall off, and robots fall to the ground until only one is left standing.
The giant robots from science fiction are coming.
They sure are. And the big-time Burners at Autodesk are backing it. At least, they put up $2,500 for a design contest:
Winners will walk away with $2,500 cash and your designs built and brought to life by MegaBots. Designs will be unleashed at Bay Area Maker Faire 2015!
I suspect there's a lot more money on the line here than that. The winners have been picked:
Here's the original challenge from MegaBots:
The team behind SuidoBashi Heavy Industries robot Kuratas has responded to the challenge, and the two robots are going to fight. But, they have one stipulation: a more traditional Japanese "hand to hand" melee battle, rather than the "super-American" Big Fucking Guns (shooting paint cannon-balls).
The local team might be getting ahead of themselves. Kuratas looks pretty stable…
…while the MegaBot team's efforts are not yet finished:
We've built an upper body prototype of a MegaBot, a missile turret adversary, and a walking simulation of a to-scale robot by building off of Andreas Hofmann's Ph.D. thesis. We're currently developing a new, tracked version of a MegaBot in partnership with Autodesk in time for Maker Faire Bay Area 2015. Soon, we'll be designing full-scale walking robots that can compete in arena combat.
The tracks are on in these recent photos. Some reconfiguration will be needed for the melee.

Both robots are currently designed to have human operators inside (MegaBot has 2). This may be dangerous when it comes to real melee combat between 4-ton machines.
Mashable reports that the two robots are fairly evenly matched:
MegaBot Mark II is 15 feet tall and rolls around on a pair of giant tank treads. Suidobashi's mech is 13 feet tall and uses four swiveling wheels.
But there are some big differences. MegaBot Mark II cost about $175,000 to build and weighs 12,000 pounds; Suidobashi's sells for more than $1 million and is about 9,000 pounds. "[Suidobashi] is about three times faster than we are," MegaBots cofounder Gui Cavalcanti said. "Their tech is currently more advanced, but we have about a year to catch up. I think it'll even out."
The fight will happen in 2016, in neutral territory.
Some readers have mentioned that this story reminds them of the Hugh Jackman movie, Real Steel.
In fact, that movie was inspired by an earlier prototype version of robot boxing, created by Burners at the same art warehouse on Treasure Island where artists like Marco Cochrane and Peter Hudson create their masterpieces.
Even before that, we had the Hand of Man at Burning Man…and other, off-Playa events.
Going back still further, Burning Man Founder John Law and others were part of Survival Research Labs, an arts collective that made use of big robot-like machines in their shows. These early Burners were also the founders of the Cacophony Society, which inspired member Chuck Pahlaniuk to write Fight Club…the secret society Project Mayhem is supposedly based on their antics and secretive, underworld, revolutionary nature.
From the titles of the SRL shows, you get the gist of the sentiment behind this crew: no love and light hippies, here. Early Burning Man featured a lot of flamethrowers, guns, and explosions…before Helco.

This may have inspired the UK TV series Robot Wars, which started in 1998 and ran for 4 seasons.
Although sort of fun, Roomba fighting is nowhere near as exciting as Giant Freaking Robots. Even an 18 Roomba free-for-all.
Google was founded by Burners and is heavily staffed with Burners, from the Chairman and CEO on down. They were the first company to commodify the Burning Man image in their marketing, beating even Girls Gone Wild. Technically, they didn't "officially" have a business model back then – this technicality seems to set a precedent for any other "pre-revenue" startup that wishes to use Burning Man to similarly promote themselves. Google today are still by far the largest profit-maker from Burner culture, given the lucrative advertising sold whenever anyone is watching Burning Man viral videos on YouTube, talking about BM on GMail, and so on.
Google recently acquired drone maker Titan Aviation, beating off rival Facebook
This $360 billion Burner company are also now the largest manufacturer of military robots on the planet, although they've been tight-lipped about their plans. They are launching their own balloons and drones to create an Internet in the Sky.
When it comes to the other side of SkyNet, the A.I. that connects all the drones and bots together, Google already have by far the most advanced artificial intelligence. One flavor of this is currently captivating the Internet with its twisted dreams.

This is all becoming very real, very fast.
This documentary about AI and robotics is dated May 2015:
Soon we may have robot jousting – or robot polo. Or both. But I'm tipping the knight-to-knight combat will draw a bigger audience than robots pushing a ball around.
Liquid Metal is now real
The new Terminator 5 movie just opened (weakly). Like 1984 and Brave New World, the Terminator series has proved to be amazingly prescient over the 3 decades since it was launched – in 1984. Much of what was science fiction then, is starting to become real today. 2015 is the year in "the Future", that Michael J Fox went back to. His famous hoverboard was quite recently an amusing farce with Tony Hawk and then became a real product with Tony Hawk and now is being promoted by Lexus as a "coming soon" product.
Like Mad Max (also about to get a Part 5), the Terminator franchise is older than either Burning Man or the Web. And SkyNet is older than all of the above.
It seems like Kiwi (these days) James Cameron's other franchise Avatar is priming us for the next revolutionary world. Virtual reality has been building for a long time, and Burning Man has long been immersed in it. They launched their own online world in Second Life in 2003 called Burn 2, and Second Life founder Philip Rosedale said he was inspired to create it by Burning Man. Counter-culture guru Timothy Leary called VR "the new LSD". VR pioneers like Mark Pesce, Howard Rheingold and Jaron Lanier are Burners. Rheingold wrote a book called Virtual Reality and coined the term "Flash Mobs" after street theater activities organized by Burning Man small-f founder Flash Hopkins. More recently, the Microsoft Holo Lens is being created by a Burner-led team.
The cyberspace Regional Burn2 is coming up soon…July 10-12. The theme is "Primordial – a Playa Before Time"
With all the money being spent lately on 3d Facebook immersive realms and self-driving cars and household robot helpers that care and life-like sex dolls... giant fighting war robots probably make a good business case to someone. Hey, there are already 42 different robots you can fuck. Fucking and punching is what it's all about, as Californication fans know.
Robot UFC, bring it on! I'd rather we train these AIs on each other, than testing on humans or animals. However, methinks there is more behind the construction of these things that mere sports and entertainment. Check out this piece at Jay's Analysis for an interesting perspective on where it's all come from and where it may be going.

SRL shows were incredible, and where I first learned of Burning Man, in 1992 (didn't make it to the playa until 2007, though). That whole vibe was what really attracted me to BM. Just balls to the wall craziness staged (usually) illegally. Kind of the flip side of the SF rave scene (which was also incredible in the 90s). And man, SRL was LOUD, as in instant permanent damage loud. You were stupid if you didn't have ear protection, and some people didn't. Wonder how their hearing is now.
did they have music? I am imagining Genesis P.Orridge Psychic TV or Spiral Tribe electronica, rather than the Grateful Dead…

Cuisinart recalls food processors after blade pieces end up in food
About 8 million units are impacted by the voluntary recall from Cuisinart's parent company, Conair.
Ashlee Clark Thompson
December 15, 2016 7:18 AM PST
The recall includes Cuisinart food processors with four rivets in the blades as pictured above.
US Consumer Product Safety Commission
Cuisinart has issued a voluntary recall for about 8 million food processors because of a risk of the blade cracking and breaking off into food, according to a release from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued Tuesday. Conair, the company that owns Cuisinart, has received 69 reports of people who found pieces of a blade in their food, and 30 reports of injury, the recall said. About 300,000 food processors in Canada are also affected.
The recall involves food processors with model numbers that begin with the following (the model number's on the bottom of the food processor):
CFP-9
CFP-11
DFP-7
DFP-11
DLC-5
DLC-10
DLC-XP
DLC-2007
EV-10
KFP-7
The blades on the affected units have four rivets, are silver-colored stainless steel and have a beige plastic center. If you have one of the recalled food processors, you should stop using it and contact Cuisinart for a replacement blade by calling 877-339-2534 or going to the company's website, according to the recall.

In de wiskunde, met name de lineaire algebra en de functionaalanalyse, is een spectraalstelling  een uitspraak over voorwaarden waaronder lineaire operatoren of  matrices gediagonaliseerd kunnen worden, dat wil zeggen in enige basis weergegeven kunnen worden in diagonaalvorm. Dit concept van diagonaliseerbaarheid is relatief eenvoudig voor operatoren op eindig-dimensionale ruimten, maar vereist enige aanpassing voor operatoren op oneindig-dimensionale ruimten. In het algemeen identificeert de spectraalstelling een klasse van lineaire operatoren, die kunnen worden gemodelleerd door multiplicatieve operatoren, de eenvoudigste klasse van operatoren om te vinden. In meer abstracte taal is de spectraalstelling een bewering over commutatieve C*-algebra's.

Voorbeelden van operatoren waarop een spectraalstelling van toepassing is, zijn zelftoegevoegde operatoren, en meer in het algemeen normale operatoren op hilbertruimten.

Een spectraalstelling voorziet ook in een kanonieke decompositie, de zogenaamde spectraaldecompositie, eigenwaarde decompositie of eigendecompositie van de onderliggende vectorruimte waarop de operator inwerkt.

De eenvoudigste vorm van een spectraalstelling is die voor een zelftoegevoegde operator op een hilbertruimte. Ook voor normale operatoren op een hilbertruimte geldt echter een spectraalstelling,

REISHI MUSHROOMS are one of the most revered herbs in traditional Chinese Medicine. Reishi, known as "Ling Zhi" in China, was referred to as the "herb of spiritual potency" and the "ten thousand year mushroom." References to reishi extract's use go back as far as 100 B.C.
CHAGA is unique among medicinal mushrooms as it is know to be one of the most important anti-aging supplements yet discovered*. Like all medicinal mushrooms, Chaga contains beta glucans, the non-linear complex polysaccharides that give Chaga extract its potent immune supporting properties. Chaga extract is commonly know to be extremely high ORAC value (anti-oxidant properties), even beyond that of blueberry extracts. In fact, Chaga may be the most potent anti-oxidant ever discovered.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will travel to Beijing for trade negotiations beginning on April 30. In addition, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, who will lead the Beijing talks for China, will travel to Washington for more discussions beginning on May 8.

This week is the busiest week of the first quarter earnings season with 155 companies reporting.
More than a fifth of the S&P 500 companies have reported results, with almost 80% of them producing results that exceeded analysts' consensus estimates. This compares to approximately 65% in the fourth quarter, according to data from Refinitiv.
U.S. dollar is higher, as U.S. economic data continues to hold up relatively well compared to other major economies.
The euro currency fell towards a one month low on news that German business sentiment unexpectedly worsened in April. The Ifo Institute's business climate index slipped to 99.2 from a revised 99.7 in March. Economists had forecast a small increase in the index to 99.9 in April.
The Australian dollar is lower on news that the country's consumer price index rose 0.1% in the first quarter when economists had forecast a 0.2% increase.
On a year-to-year basis, the CPI rose 1.3% after an increase of 1.8% in the previous quarter. Economists had expected a 1.5% rise in inflation. These weaker than expected inflation numbers heightened the prospect of an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Futures are higher as it appears more likely that the Federal Reserve will lower its fed funds rate this year. Much of the pressure on the Fed to ease credit conditions is coming from weaker overseas data rather than from U.S. economic data.
The Treasury will auction $41 billion of five year notes today.
The next Federal Open Market Committee meeting is scheduled for May 1. No change in the fed funds rate is expected at that meeting.
Financial futures are predicting there is a 58% probability that the Federal Open Market Committee will lower its fed funds rate by 25 basis points, or more at its December 11. Late last week the probability was 47%.

On any ordinary day if you walk up to someone and ask them to sing for a camera, chances are you'll get quite a few scared looks, but not at Headwaters Country Jam! We asked groups of fans to help us come up with our own rendition of Big & Rich's hit song 'Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)' in preparation for the duo's performance that night, and they were happy to help. The beers in their hands could have played a small role in helping things along, and making the results pure gold too. Give the sing along video a watch, and make sure you don't miss the bloopers at the very end.

Open Range is a Kevin Costner movie and a pleasant surprise. It seems like a millennia since he's made anything that didn't fall off the screen and flop around on the floor like a slowly suffocating trout, destined only for an elderly man's dinner plate tomorrow night at Long John Silvers. Open Range though, fits Costner's on screen sensibilities like a glove, making him seem as if he were born to play a craggy faced cowboy and nothing else.
Yes, Open Range is a Western, something scarce in a modern cinema world of bad cop dramas and stereotyped comedies. Unlike this summer's huge hit, Pirates of the Caribbean, which also took on a somewhat dead genre, Open Range isn't likely to bring about a revitalization of the Hollywood Western. What it does do is bring one of the most crystal clear recreations of the period to absolutely stunning life, complete with lively characterizations and all the usual Old West, revenge-bent cliche's.
Opening with a beautiful and irresistibly realistic portrayal of trail riding life, Open Range goes out of its way to bring depth to the cowpoke world of its aging lead characters Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) and Charley Wait (Kevin Costner). Some might call the opening overlong, but I found it impossible to turn away from, a slow and deliberate peek into the true world of the oft glossed over cowboy legend. Together with their two helpers, Charlie and the Boss travel the prairies of the Old West herding cattle from one place to another, living off the land with no one for company but each other. Hey! It's Larry Kubiak! He's playing Mose, one of Boss Spearman's hands, and a big hulk of an actor who never seems to get enough respect.
Sadly, times are changing. Ranching has taken hold and the world has quickly grown too small for their brand of free range cattle raising. So, as in any good western, trouble finds them, when a free-grazer hating rancher refuses to let them pass through his town. The typically greedy rancher raids the free-ranger camp, murdering and injuring their young hands. Boss takes it personal and together he and Charley set out to seek revenge and set things right in a town all but held hostage.
What sets Open Range apart from the hundreds of other genre favorites that have come before it isn't its story, which in general terms, seems to cover all the same basics you'd expect from any classic Western. But there's an element of realism here that I can't recall feeling so strongly in any similar film. Costner in particular cuts a striking 19th century figure, flashing guns and stoicism, while attempting to come to grips with misdeeds of the past. Character developing moments between Costner and Duvall, are unmistakably the highlights of Open Range, their interplay coming easy and slow, with a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching chemistry that would normally seem impossible to achieve with two such staunchly stoic characters. What was most surprising to me is that in among all this seriousness and drama, Costner and Duvall also manage to make this a fairly funny film. They do so, without taking away from the intensity of the subject matter... maybe that's only possible when you have this kind of perfect chemistry between two such veteran actors.
Eventually things get very out of hand, and Open Range delivers a classic gunfight, filling in the genre's revenge-bent need on every level. Here, as in every aspect of the film, the cinematography and strikingly sharp sound effects of gunfire, thunder, and rain are simply gorgeous. Defending a town may be old hat, but under Costner's directorial hand it looks decidedly fresh and renewed. Violence is used, but with regret. Once Costner's character turns it on though, he has a hard time turning it off. What stood out for me was the way he telegraphed his emotions through body language rather than expression. Even though Charley's face remains carefully blank, his movements scream of anger and hate as he coolly defends the woman he loves.
The only serious flaw facing Open Range is the somewhat overextended romance between Costner and Bening. Initially it serves the wonderful purpose of bringing something new to Costner's character, but in the end tends to be drawn out a little too long, giving the movie a somewhat unwieldy and uncertain feel. This is admittedly a nitpick, but one that weighs things down at all the wrong moments, just when things should be wrapping up.
Open Range proves itself one of the most picturesque and enjoyable stints of the summer. This is Costner's third stop behind the director's chair and the one where he proves it wasn't a fluke; he may actually know what he's doing there. Most impressive is that he does it without shoving his personally affinity for Old West minutiae down our throats and without weighing the flick down in an avalanche of Americana. Coming out as it does, amidst the final flush of summer movie-making, Open Range may not be able to revitalize the Old West genre or even Costner's career... but it should.


A shot rings out somewhere in West Palm Beach. A Scary thing, but now at lease police have a way to quickly locate victims and perpetrators alike. A new series of microphones, place around the city can pinpoint where the shots came from, in just 45 seconds. The price tag of 1.2 mil seems worth it if it can live up to the hype. Let's hope so!

Post #6 – How do we lose vitality?
So, just to be sure, my goal (and hopefully your goal) is to purposely live to 120 (or the maximum possible lifespan) with the highest attainable vitality. To achieve that, I feel, I must understand about anything that might get in the way.
In the posts so far, I have been talking about achieving the lifespan of 120 and thereby about a subject that might have sounded morbid to some of you. That is about death and dying.
Let us change our focus to the second part of the goal: Maintaining Vitality. More specifically understanding the potential hurdles to maintaining vitality, i.e., answering the question: how do we lose vitality?
A good definition of vitality I have seen is in the Free Dictionary, as "the capacity to live, grow or develop." A good synonym of vitality for our purpose here is vigor, including physical, mental, intellectual vigor.
You have seen it. A fried or a family member is full of vitality and then you notice that he/she starts "going downhill". The person used to be out and about all the time, went running, then started merely walking, then walking but not as often, and then stared to just hang around the house, then on the couch more and more and then … – you get the idea. Decline happens, at times very slowly, and other times rather rapidly.
Another scenario could be that someone you know experiences a physical, mental or emotional traumatic experience and then never really recovers from it, with increasing physical pain or mental/emotional aguish rapidly goes downhill.
So, what can cause such a decline?
Well, as I started to compile a list of causes for losing vitality, I noticed that there are three broad categories: 1) acute illness, 2) chronic diseases, and 3) senescence or aging related causes. As you would suspect, there is much overlap between these categories, especially among lists for 2 and 3.
It is interesting to ponder the implication of the overlaps between the lists.
For example, if you have known someone to have had a heart attack, it was definitely an acute illness event that probably changed their vitality curve and sent that person downhill.
Then again, may be that person was already going downhill since he/she had been losing cardio capacity due to chronic coronary disease.
And, may be the heart attack was in-part the result of hardening of the arteries due to old age.
To achieve longevity and vitality, we must overcome acute illnesses, chronic diseases and also slow the aging /senescence process.
What I am really excited about is first and foremost looking for those lifestyle activities that positively impact items on all three lists at the same time.
And, my search so far, indicates that there are such activities. The most challenging part seems to be picking through the controversies to find the optimal activities.
In any case, I think it will be an exciting journey. I look forward to sharing results of my search in the future posts.
Do you feel there are other hurdles that one must overcome to maintaining optimum vitality?

General Maritime Corporation and Navig8 Crude Tankers have entered into a definitive agreement to merge and form Gener8 Maritime Inc., creating one of the world's largest Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) operators.
Gener8 Maritime will have a combined fully-delivered fleet of 46 vessels, comprised of 21 VLCC newbuildings and 25 vessels in operation including seven VLCCs, 11 Suezmaxes, four Aframaxes, two Panamax tankers, and one Handymax tanker, together comprising over 11 million deadweight tons with an average age of less than 5.5 years upon delivery of the newbuildings.
It is expected that Gener8 Maritime will contribute its crude tankers to established commercial pools managed by Navig8 Group. Gener8 Maritime will be incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and headquartered in New York.
The existing General Maritime management team is expected to remain in place retaining executive management roles including Peter Georgiopoulos as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, John Tavlarios who will become Chief Operating Officer and Leo Vrondissis who will remain the Chief Financial Officer of the combined company.
Two key members of Navig8 Crude, Gary Brocklesby and Nicolas Busch, are expected to become senior consultants to the board of directors and the management team focusing on strategic and commercial matters.
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015, subject to approval by the shareholders of each company and customary closing conditions.
"We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Navig8 Crude, which we believe will combine an established owner and highly-respected commercial operator on an unprecedented scale," said Peter Georgiopoulos, General Maritime's Chairman.

Monroe toggle pads provide a solid clamping of uneven, irregular, and/or angled surfaces. Monroe toggle pads are self-aligning and self-leveling toggle pads. Our 10 degree angle of movement allows the toggle pad to self-align to the workpiece surface when force is applied. A toggle pad with self-aligning properties prevents binding and distortion of the toggle pad. Monroe toggle pads also aid in reducing and/or eliminating clamp slippage.


The British yachting industry is all but invisible to those not in the know. Yet the craft skills, artistic invention and technological know-how behind the design and manufacture of some of the world's most sophisticated private vessels continues to thrive in discreet studios scattered throughout the capital and along the South coast.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Redman Whiteley Dixon, now known as RWD; one of the country's leading designers — interior and exterior — of classic grand sail and motor yachts. From the studio's early days in Chelsea to its current bucolic position in the converted and restored Old Electric Light Station on the banks of the Beaulieu River, the 35-strong team can lay claim to being the biggest dedicated superyacht design consultancy in the UK.
In that time, RWD has shaped the appearance of around 75 yachts that range from 35m to 155m. Even bigger projects are in development, but although the superyacht industry is awfully fond of superlatives, the RWD approach is not about shouting loudest.
One clue to the studio's success and longevity is its approach to design. "Our work is not outlandish — we look for a cleanness of line and a beauty of form," says Redman. "The beauty of a line is much more important than stuck-on detail or confrontational design," he adds, explaining how RWD projects encompass every conceivable detail, from designing the superstructure down to supervising the stitching on the seats of the on-board helicopter.
Even lighting design has undergone several revolutions in this time, although you won't find some of the gaudy, Wurlitzer-style set-ups on any of the boats designed by RWD; "integrity, quietness and cleanness" are its watchwords.
As a full-service firm providing both interior and exterior design, RWD has worked with shipyards and fitters all over the world. Redman is particularly proud of the studio's relationship with Feadship, the Netherlands-based shipyard with more than 150 years of history and a reputation for excellence in craftsmanship and technology, pioneering the use of aluminium and, most recently, hybrid-drive yachts.
Projects built by the yard include the 96.55m Vertigo, launched earlier this year. "She's characterised by a glass pool that also forms the ceiling of the beach club. You couldn't have done this 25 years ago. The technology, materials and complexity have changed so much," Redman says of the five layers of glass and foil that make up this remarkable feature.
There are currently five major RWD projects on the go at Feadship's Dutch yards. "Our owners appreciate that level of quality and detail," Redman says, "and I'm told that our uniqueness is the way we look after our owners." This is another component of the studio's essential appeal; the ability to manage the lengthy, multi-year design and build process and keep it fresh, engaging and exciting.
A journey of a different kind forms the final facet of the RWD experience. Over a long pub lunch a decade ago, the partners came up with an alternative way of making the trek down to Monaco for the annual Yacht Show each autumn — an essential industry event. In 2008, the first Redman Whiteley Dixon Auto Tour took place, as the team's most enthusiastic drivers took to the road rather than the air.
A yacht might be designed to sail the world unencumbered, but as RWD demonstrates, each boat is a voyage of discovery, with enduring values supporting it every step of the way.

Documentary filmmaker Liz Garbus '92 reflects on finding filmmaking, the power of a true story
Liz Garbus '92 initially saw herself pursuing a career in law. But as a semiotics and history student at Brown, she had long studied the ability of images to impart social, political, and emotional messages. So, inspired by the scenes she encountered working on a voter registration drive soon after graduation, she began pursuing filmmaking.
Now, Garbus has multiple Emmy awards and two Academy Award nominations under her belt. Her films have covered topics from the New York Times' coverage of Trump's first year in office, the life of Nina Simone, to the stories of inmates at the largest maximum security prison in the United States. She co-founded Story Syndicate in 2019, a film and television production company that supports established and up-and-coming filmmakers in pursuing projects that inspire social good. And following that mission, she is now executive producing a documentary for National Geographic about Dr. Anthony Fauci.
In this Q&A, Garbus, one of the inaugural speakers in Watson's John F. Kennedy Jr. Initiative for Documentary Film and Social Progress, discusses documentary as a medium for social change, her narrative drama debut, and how her time at Brown continues to influence her work today.
Why were you drawn to documentary as a filmmaking medium?
When I graduated from Brown, I thought that I would go to law school. The summer after I graduated, I worked on a voter registration drive modeled after the Freedom Riders. Driving across America, I was out in the world in a way that I really hadn't been before. I was talking to people who had not been a part of my immediate experience at Brown or growing up in New York City. After that experience, I found that I wanted to find a way to be more of a direct mouthpiece, or megaphone, for the voices that couldn't do that themselves.
I had made films when I was at Brown, but my first foray into developing my own film project involved a collaboration that I formed with an inmate journalist at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, a maximum security prison in Louisiana. He had been writing stories about the lives of people behind bars. Through this collaboration with him, I started making films. I had always been interested in the criminal justice system, and had considered pursuing a path in law, but here was another way of telling those stories and advocating for a more compassionate, a more nuanced understanding of the justice system. The films that I've made since are on a wide range of subjects but that's how it all began.
This fall, you spoke with Stacey Abrams at a virtual event hosted by the Watson Institute about your documentary, All In: The Fight for Democracy. At the event, Abrams reflected on watching the film with her 14-year-old niece and said that the chief purpose of a documentary like this is "to give you an hour and 30 minutes of information that makes you want to spend a lifetime trying to act." How do you think documentary films can be used as a medium to affect social change?
Once you pull the curtain back on issues which have been largely hidden or issues that you know people really have to seek out if they wanted to understand — for instance, understanding the various factors that go into giving someone a life or death sentence, or the various factors that have contributed to your polling place closing — and you show the kind of the history and politics of race and class that go into those experiences, you can change the way a person experiences their own life. Because when you're armed with information, it can change your behavior.
Your first narrative studio film, Lost Girls, was released on Netflix in March of last year. Based on the true story of a string of murders of young female sex workers told in Robert Kolker's book, Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery, the film follows a mother as she looks for her missing daughter. Could you describe the process of shifting into narrative work, and how that felt different or similar to working on a documentary?
There are a lot of similarities in the shaping of a story. When you're making a fiction narrative film based on a true story, or even when you're making a doc, which is a true story, there is this process of shaping your story into a 90 minute or two hour piece of work. You have to find your story, through a process of eliminating some sets of circumstances and highlighting others.
The crucial process of finding that North Star that guides your story — one that is informed by an understanding of truth and the themes of the story — teaches you what you can include, what you can excavate, what you should emotionally highlight, and what you should not. You have to get very close to the core of the story in order to find the truth of it, because those decisions of what is included and left out both are crucial in the narrative and the documentary form. All of that amounts to the filmmakers point of view, which is what dominates each genre. And in both genres, the huge responsibility of telling the stories of real people is one that I do not take lightly.
In 2019, you founded Story Syndicate with your husband, filmmaker Dan Cogan. What is the mission of Story Syndicate?
I founded Story Syndicate with my husband, who was running a social impact film fund called Impact Partners. With the multiplication of streaming platforms we saw that there was a real appetite for documentary films. Projects would come to us that we could not take on, but we were really interested in supporting filmmakers, and felt that with our history in the business we could give other filmmakers a real leg up. Our mission with Story Syndicate was to nurture other talents, other directors, to kind of create a constellation of storytellers who care about the world and want to do something good, while also looking to entertain.
Earlier this month, it was announced that you would Executive Produce a documentary about Anthony Fauci for National Geographic. How does it feel to work on this project that is about a figure who has played such an important role in the COVID-19 pandemic?
It has been really exciting to have cruised by his side throughout this process. I can't say too much about the project yet, but I've been really excited to support the filmmakers who are there with him. It's an honor to tell his story — he is quite a fascinating man, from his work during the AIDS epidemic to today during COVID, being one of the few trusted voices in a very polarized environment. Telling his story is really an awesome responsibility.
How does your time at Brown continue to influence your work today?
When I was at Brown I majored in History and Semiotics. And in many ways, my career is an outgrowth of those interests. In Semiotics we studied the cultural and social and political meaning of images, or their juxtaposition to text. That kind of critical thinking still informs my filmmaking, and my love of history of course also informs my filmmaking. In that way, my time at Brown was actually quite a potent cocktail for my career. I was introduced to so many radical filmmakers that I had never heard of, and was taught by amazing filmmakers. I really, really had my mind blown often.
Just that I think that documentary filmmaking and nonfiction journalism is a really fulfilling field. And the JFK Jr. film initiative at the Watson Institute, which brings together these topics through conversations with filmmakers, is terrific.
--Elise Ryan '21


A letter written to Justin Trudeau by a B.C. woman has gone viral, as thousands of people across Canada respond to her call for positive change.
Casandra Fletcher told the Star she cast a strategic vote for Trudeau, in hopes of ousting the Conservatives from power. But, as she watched early election results coming in on Monday, she began to worry about the political direction of the country.
"I was watching the map of Canada turn red in the Atlantic provinces and I thought 'Oh my god look at this…What have we all done? Did we all just get snowballed by fear?" said Fletcher.
The self-described average West Coast mom began writing a letter to Trudeau. And, by the time the majority had been announced, Fletcher said, the letter was finished.
Fletcher posted the letter on Facebook Monday night, along with a photo of her mailing it to Trudeau. As of Wednesday evening, the post had garnered more than 33,000 likes and 30,000 shares.
In addition to the avalanche of likes and shares her post has gotten, Fletcher said she has received hundreds of messages from people who had read her letter feel the same things she does.
Others praised the respectful way Fletcher communicated her feelings — something she said she wants more Canadians to learn to do.

Garbage dispute Just recently, the environment triggered by the waste incineration controversy, has actually ended up being a hot topic of China's public environment. Over the previous year, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Panyu, Nanjing, Shanghai and Beijing and other cities all have varying scale break out of mass events, some individuals freely revealed their concerns about incineration plant influence the living environment. However, appropriate government departments to provide the message that waste incineration will certainly be the brand-new trend of China's big cities waste. Beijing, for example, early in the year "
2 ", The 283 deputies of the waste movement, directed at the critical scenario in Beijing and waste disposal issue. After the Beijing community government through research to reach a consensus, clearly stated," accelerate the Strong Waste Incineration and extensive treatment plants. "According to the strategy Beijing will invest 10 billion yuan in 2015, the building of 40 garbage disposal centers, consisting of nine incineration plant. then, has actually been operating for a year in addition to the high security outside Tuen incineration plant, incineration plant Aso Wei, Beijing South Incineration Plant, Dong Town, incineration and incineration plants Liulitun, North heaven incineration plant, Nangong incineration plant, incineration plant and the beam, Shunyi District, home incineration plant will be gradually put into operation, the waste therapy capacity will reach 8,200 tons daily garbage incineration ratio from the present 2 % to 40 %.
Behind this project is to improve the speed of the Beijing Community waste disposal capability of the severe lag. Data from the community government of Beijing's garbage in 1990, total less than 200 tons, in 2008 soared to 6.72 million tons, 18,400 heaps daily. If according to today rate of about 8 % a year remained to enhance, in 2012, Beijing garbage output will reach 9.14 million tons in 2015 to reach 11.52 million heaps, everyday average of 30,000 loads. At present the city a total amount of 23 municipal solid waste centers, the design everyday capability of 10,400 tons, the real capacity has actually reached 17,400 loads daily, the average rate of 67 % overload.
All China's situation is comparable to Beijing. According to statistics, the nation of trash in 1981 was about 30 million heaps, to the rapid growth in 2004 was 1.6 million lots, annual development rate of about 7 % to 10 %, and GDP development rate of roughly the same.
Follow-up processing power because of absence of the trash if you do not burn, it just into the garbage dump. Incredible to say, till 1993 when Beijing still take garbage out of the city, open an easy stacking approach. Beijing 1994 constructed the very first modern garbage dump, and lastly have the ability to refuse to do sound processing. Nevertheless, with rapid financial development, was soon faced with the scenario not to be buried. Chen, director of Beijing Municipal Administration Commission, said in a meeting: "Beijing is overwhelmed garbage dump operation, less than 5 years, 4 years no location to decline to fill, so the building of incineration plants for us stresses is needed. "
However, waste incineration, if dealt with appropriately, will produce extremely hazardous substance dioxin, can not be said to be a perfect technique. The problem is, give all garbage dump will not last for life. Long-distance transport of garbage from the economic terms is clearly really uneconomical, near the city garbage dump will occupy useful land resources, if the landfill technical imperfections, it will certainly likewise generate a great deal of damaging gases, as well as pollute underground water. In recent years, the groups associated with land fill is an endless stream of events, social impact is also no less than incineration.
In the end is incineration or land fill? Stiff trash issue in here. To break the stalemate, first concern is to minimize trash.
"To resolve the general principle of municipal solid waste issue is '5 of' very first concern is the reduction, to minimize garbage volume." Deputy chief engineer of Beijing Municipal Administration Commission, stated Wang Weiping told BusinessWeek, "The second is resource, that is waste recycling. The third is the noise, such as garbage dump or burned. Fourth, the neighborhood, government and public business need to be involved. Fifth, industrialization, to encourage ventures to run.
