Vladimir Putin held another meeting with senior Defence Ministry officials and defence industry representatives to continue discussing the drafting of the State Armament Programme for 2018–2025 and the current state of and development outlook for the Aerospace Forces, Navy and Strategic Missile Forces.
The President also congratulated the Baltic Sea Fleet service personnel on Baltic Sea Fleet Day. The Baltic Sea Fleet is celebrating its 314th anniversary.
Today, we will continue discussing the drafting of the State Armament Programme for 2018–2025.
On the agenda today is the current state of and development outlook for the Aerospace Forces, Navy and Strategic Missile Forces.
Incidentally, the Baltic Fleet is celebrating its anniversary today. Let me congratulate the Baltic Fleet commanders and sailors on this occasion.
Let us discuss all of these areas, and examine, too, the Strategic Missile Forces.
The Aerospace Forces continue to receive new planes and helicopters, air defence and missile defence systems, and military-purpose space equipment.
Modern weapons systems and equipment now make up 66 percent of the Aerospace Forces' weapons. This figure should increase slightly and be up to 68 percent by the end of this year.
We continue, too, the Navy's gradual modernisation. In 2016, it received 24 new vessels, including frigates and submarines equipped with long-range Kalibr cruise missiles. Modern equipment and weapons now account for 47 percent of the total in the Navy, and we will increase this to 55 percent by the end of the year.
The Strategic Missile Forces continue as planned the transition to mobile and silo-based Yars systems. Modern weapons systems now account for 62 percent of the total in this branch, and this figure will increase to 72 percent by the end of 2017.
Overall, it is important to maintain the current pace over the coming period and, as we implement the new programme, continue on from what we have accomplished with the current armament programme.

"Never alone in making the world"
Paul Robbins brings unique view of people and environment
Spring/Summer 2012 | By Meghan Lepisto
When Paul Robbins becomes Nelson Institute director on August 1, he'll hit the ground running. With a few worn-down pencils.
Armed with a long list of ideas, he's been fine-tuning his immediate and long-term plans -- putting pencil to paper when a thought emerges, scratching out items that no longer make the cut, and continuously reordering the list.
Paul Robbins, who will begin as director August 1.
He keeps 25 freshly sharpened pencils on standby at his desk, ready to capture the next big idea.
Robbins comes to the institute from the School of Geography and Development at the University of Arizona, where he's served for two years as director. A UW-Madison alumnus, he holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology, along with a master's degree and doctorate in geography, both from Clark University.
Robbins brings years of experience as a researcher, studying human interactions with nature and the politics of natural resource management, and he has taught a range of topics at both the University of Arizona and Ohio State University (where he also sang lead vocals for a local band, "The Distants").
He recently shared his first impressions of the institute, what he's been jotting down on that list of priorities, and what he sees as paths to success for an environmental studies program.
What drew you to seek the Nelson Institute directorship?
Robbins: The interdisciplinary spaces for students and research. Universities around the country are trying to invent places where you can shove people who do literature together with people who do biology and something magical is supposed to happen. It's my impression those are interesting experiments, but they haven't been fully successful.
The Nelson Institute, on the other hand, is ready made and it's been here a long time. Working at a large interdisciplinary school, I'm used to having colleagues who study dirt and who deconstruct policy documents -- you don't get that very often; you can't invent that. Nelson is that, so that was really attractive. The students and the constituencies outside the university are well matched and so is the state of Wisconsin -- it's a perfect match for a tradition in humanities, social science, natural science and public service.
Now that you've had the chance to meet with some of our faculty, staff and students and learn more about the institute, what are some of your first impressions?
See video excerpts
of Robbins' remarks »
What is not immediately apparent from outside is how deep the research center roots are within the institute. The centers are dug deep in the soil in a good way; they touch across campus. The level of talent in the centers is enormous, and the level of enthusiasm for the centers -- for the institute as a whole, by people in the centers and across campus -- is really high. People like Nelson.
Also, maybe the thing that's hard to know if you're from outside Wisconsin, is how well connected the institute is to issues in the state like lakes, water quality and climate change. There are people in Nelson who work in the community, and that's nice in a university that already has a rich tradition of extension. To have Nelson be out in the public in a way that is above and beyond the outreach mission of the university is really cool.
What would you like to see the institute build upon for the future?
As hugely successful as the Nelson Institute is, it's still not interdisciplinary enough. I would like to see more knitting of other disciplines and groups.
The second thing is a much stronger role for international initiatives. If you think about the University of Wisconsin's international traditions -- its language and literature programs across the curriculum, its international opportunities for undergraduates (that's how I started working in India, I was brought there by a UW-Madison professor) -- the Nelson Institute isn't fully integrated into those initiatives and it could be, without sacrificing anything.
Almost anything people are working on here has international potential. And with the Land Tenure Center, there is already a tradition within Nelson of international activities and initiatives, but that could be across the board.
What immediate plans do you have when you begin as director?
This is a huge community and I want to get to know it really, really well. And I want to get to know people who aren't connected to the institute, because there are untapped constituencies of students, faculty and publics.
"The Nelson Institute
for Environmental Studies
is the Nelson Institute for
food, for community, for
health, for energy, for lakes,
for fishing and hunting --
it's the Nelson Institute
for everything that's on
people's minds."
Two, I'm going to take a rambling road tour of Wisconsin. I drove around Wisconsin as a college student in my VW bug (I lived on Mifflin Street, so I had to own a VW bug). I would like to see the state a bit more, and if there are alumni who'd like to host me, I would look forward to that.
Longer-term plans?
One thing I'd really like to see on campus, maybe working with other campuses in the region, is to open the lens of our environmental concerns to urban areas and urban constituencies. Many of the area urban centers are lively environmental spaces and complicated ecosystems.
There is a habituated way of thinking of nature as outside or external, and we've learned from Bill Cronon [Frederick Jackson Turner and Vilas Research Professor of history, geography and environmental studies at UW-Madison] and others that the environment's everywhere. I think a center for urban environmental initiatives that would work with communities and connect into the university as a research resource is a Nelson-worthy enterprise over the long term.
More broadly, Nelson could be a part of more global health initiatives. Environmental health is a way of connecting constituencies around the world. I've just finished some work with mosquitoes (I could talk about mosquitoes a lot; I'm obsessed with them, so I've moved to the right place), and what I learned is the diseases people are facing in Phoenix are diseases people are facing in Mexico City. They're very different places, but not from the mosquito's point of view. A mosquito has no respect for the border fence.
What role do you think alumni can play in advancing the institute?
It would be great to get the alumni in touch with students if for no other reason than to reassure them. Students love science or literature or the environment, but they have a legitimate concern, which is, they don't know what they're going to do with the degree. They don't know who to go to; they're not quite sure where those connections are, and our alumni are those people.
The alumni also know how the program works and what it did and didn't do for them. What other kind of experiences in an undergraduate or graduate degree program could have been enhanced to prepare them better? The alumni are our experts.
I'd also ask what we could be doing for alumni who are out there developing programs, projects or companies. If they could tell us, that would help.
Tell us a bit more about your research.
The overarching theme of my research is anthropogenesis -- how people make the world. But they're never alone in making their world; they're in the world with all these animals, plants and fungi. The idea that you preserve the world by not being a part of it -- by not being a part of the environment -- to me is the problem. People are always coproducing nature.
Robbins discusses a vegetation survey with foresters
in India, where much of his research has focused.
To give you an example, in south India, you can see dozens of endangered and threatened species, particularly bird species. They're living in coffee plantations, rubber plantations, tea plantations -- they're living where people work. Are people saving these animals because they want to? No, they're saving these animals because there's something about the crop pricing and the productivity which configures the coffee plantation and the particular mix of trees.
So how do you save dozens or hundreds of species in India? You can throw everybody off the land and build a big fortress. Or, you can take a look at the price of coffee, which will determine how many species you have. If the price of coffee goes into the toilet, they're going to mow down that forest overnight and put in something that pays. My research is about how many animals plantations can produce, and how can we help producers stay on the land. There's an ethic that underlies that: everyone eats. The birds eat, the farmers eat and you get your coffee.
Another project, on mosquitoes, is the reverse of that same problem -- that anthropogenesis produces hazards, not just benefits. The city is built perfectly for mosquitoes. So how do you remap the city from the point of view of bugs, so you're not exposed to hazards that deal very serious diseases, especially for people who work outside and the global poor. Malaria, dengue, hemorrhagic fever -- this is visited upon millions of people around the world.

CRIDER'S TAKE: Golden Boy MMA the Senior PGA of cage fighting?
Aaron Crider, mmatorch contributor
Chuck Liddell (photo credit Joe Camporeale © USA Today Sports)
With boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya hinting about getting into MMA promoting, Aaron Crider makes the case against using retired MMA icons.
Oscar De La Hoya wants to get into the mixed martial arts game. Only problem is that the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator MMA are the promotional kings of the sport.
However, it looks like De La Hoya is taking a unique approach to getting his promotion off the ground, specifically looking to sign former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell.
There is no questioning the athleticism of Liddell. He's tough and packs a punch, but at 48-years-old is well past his peak fighting days. And, if the rumor mill is true, Liddell's first opponent could be Tito Ortiz, another former UFC champion.
Both men are UFC Hall of Famers. They've given fight fans two wonderful bouts in the UFC. Considering their ages, Ortiz is 43, they might be decent matchups for one another. However, it begs to question who else does Golden Boy MMA sign?
Dan Henderson? Rich Franklin? Perhaps Matt Hughes? Could Golden Boy MMA be the Neverland for formerly retired fighters itching to punch someone? That's a tough sell, especially against the UFC and Bellator.
The UFC has become a juggernaut by gobbling up any threatening competitors and provides a number of ways for fighters to get looked at by UFC brass with The Ultimate Fighter and the popular YouTube series "Dana White: Looking for a fight".
Bellator is the second-best MMA promotion. Its format follows more closely to that of former MMA banner PRIDE FC in that it holds Grand Prix tournaments in each of its weight classes. Its success has come largely from disgruntled former UFC fighters let go from unfavorable contracts, or after having enough of Dana White's brashness.
Where does that leave Golden Boy?
That's not as easy a question to answer as it seems. If its first signee is Liddell and its second would be Ortiz, it almost seems to be a place for fighters 40 and older to go. If De La Hoya is sincere in wanting to break in to the MMA scene, he would do well to stay away from fighters like these.
Unlike other sports where athletes can find success in their golden years, the fight game batters, bruises and breaks down one's body. It's a young man's sport.
Dana White nearly begged for Liddell to retire in 2010 after a series of severe knockout losses. The concern was legitimate considering "The Iceman" had one of the strongest chins ever in the UFC until the end of his career, and, had he continued fighting, increased the risk of becoming punch drunk and left with long term health issues.
One can't ride off into the sunset like Liddell did and work in an office job and then come out of retirement to fight. At his age it would only mean disaster. Would Liddell be a big draw and the sort of thing to get people to take notice of Golden Boy? You bet. Liddell still has the star power to draw fringe MMA fans, but is it worth the risk? No.
Golden Boy's best bet to get going, and eventually become a competitor, is to see how the UFC and Bellator have reached their respective perches. The idea of signing a legend like Liddell is tempting, but it's the wrong path to go.

Norman Lear wants to know: Where are the old people on TV?
Rocca asked, "Do you prefer [the term] senior citizens, the elderly, or old people?"
"I prefer 'older,'" Lear replied. "Yeah. Elderly has a connotation. I am clearly older than a lot of people, but am I old? Not yet!"
Which is why last November, during the Austin Film Festival, the King of Television, 93-year-old Norman Lear, was at it again. He brought together a group of actors for a reading of his newest television comedy: "Guess Who Died?" set in a senior living community, is about his contemporaries.
Robert Walden: "Morning, Patricia. How ya' doin'?"
June Squibb: "Terrific. Can't sleep without Xanax. Can't get out of bed without Celebrex. Can't eat without Prilosec. Other than that, I'm terrific."
A reading of Norman Lear's latest comedy, "Guess Who Died?"
"Television executives think that young people only want to watch other young people," said Rocca.
"These are the same television executives that didn't think Archie should say this or that," said Lear. "And you can't deal with menopause, and you can't deal with abortion, and you can't with economic problems, you know? They're not always right."
Finding the funny in the serious began early for Lear, when he was growing up working class in Connecticut. When he was nine years old he learned that his father was going to prison. "It was terrible," he laughed. "I adored him."
His father, convicted of selling fake bonds, was sent away to prison for three years. Lear still remembers a neighbor's "words of wisdom": "Puts his hand on my shoulder and says, 'Well, you're the man of the house now, Norman.' And 'There, there, a man doesn't cry!' Nine years old, I'm hearing that! I thought, well, teaches me a lot about the foolishness of the human condition. Ultimately it taught me that there's humor everywhere, in every situation."
Lear's worldview was also shaped by trips to New York City, looking out the train window into the apartments of Harlem.
"The tenements felt like they were eight feet away. They were probably 30 feet -- they were very close. And the windows leading into the apartments were very visible, and life inside those windows. And they were largely African-American. And I used to wonder about them. Who were these families? What were they thinking? What were their problems?
"I also had something in common with them. I knew by then that as Jewish kid, there were people who hated me simply for that reason. And I understood certainly by then that black people had it worse than I had it."
A few years later, Lear would look out different windows and see African-Americans, this time high in the skies over Europe.
"How amazing is it that the two of us flew the same mission, over Berlin, no less," Lear said.

Q: adding new object value into existing object value over and over again I need to write a code so that result comes out as
{ username: 'Cloud',
  species: 'sheep',
  tagline: 'You can count on me!',
  noises: ['baahhh', 'arrgg', 'chewchewchew'],
  friends: [{username: 'Moo', species: 'cow'...}, {username: 'Zeny', species: 'llama'...}]
}

but my code currently prints first as the new object added onto the existing object and when I try to add another new object onto the existing object and console.log it, it replaces the last object added and only adds the new object values.
{ username: 'Cloud',
  species: 'sheep',
  tagline: 'You can count on me!',
  noises: [ 'baahhh', 'arrgg', 'chewchewchew' ],
  friends:
   { username: 'Moo',
     species: 'cow',
     tagline: 'asdf',
     noises: [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ],
     friends: [] } }
{ username: 'Cloud',
   species: 'sheep',
   tagline: 'You can count on me!',
   noises: [ 'baahhh', 'arrgg', 'chewchewchew' ],
   friends:
    { username: 'Zeny',
      species: 'llama',
      tagline: 'qwerty',
      noises: [ 'z', 'x', 'c' ],
      friends: [] } }

Here is my code so far. I only put animal2 = animal to write that it replaces it so that when adding another new object value it adds it into that object, not the original. Do I need to have a loop here in order to have this work?
function AnimalCreator(username, species, tagline, noises) {
  var list = {
    username: username,
    species: species,
    tagline: tagline,
    noises: noises,
    friends: []
  };

    return list;

}

function addFriend(animal, animal2) {

    animal.friends = animal2;
    animal2 = animal;

}

var sheep = AnimalCreator('Cloud', 'sheep', 'You can count on me!', ['baahhh', 'arrgg', 'chewchewchew']);
var cow =  new AnimalCreator('Moo', 'cow', 'asdf', ['a', 'b','c']);
addFriend(sheep, cow);
console.log(sheep);
var llama = new AnimalCreator('Zeny', 'llama', 'qwerty', ['z', 'x', 'c']);
addFriend(sheep,llama);
console.log(sheep);

What am I doing wrong?

A: Your problem looks to be in addFriend(animal, animal2) where you set animal2 = animal. What I think you are trying to do is append friends which could be done like
function addFriend(animal, animal2) {
    var pastFriends=animal.friends;
    pastFriends.push(animal2);
    animal.friends = pastFriends;
}

Cliff Aeros (eigentlich Julius Jäger; * 4. Juni 1889 in Hamburg; † 18. Februar 1952 in Leipzig) war ein Zirkusunternehmer sowie Sensationsdarsteller, Artist und Dompteur. Er gilt als Gründungsfigur der Zirkusszene der DDR.

Leben
In Hamburg geboren, verbrachte Julius Jäger Kindheit und Jugend in und um Neumünster, wo sein Vater Bahnwärter war. Die Schule besuchte er in Rickling, etwa 12 Kilometer südöstlich von Neumünster. Er erlernte den Beruf des Tischlers und legte 1908 die Gesellenprüfung ab. Der Eintritt in den Turnverein TV Gut-Heil Neumünster im Jahr 1910 mochte schon auf seine spätere Passion hingewiesen haben. Aber zunächst eröffnete er 1915 in Hamburg die Möbelhandlung Möbel-Jäger.

1917 begann er seine Artistenlaufbahn als "Todesspringer Todero". Er baute selbst einen Sprungapparat und übte an seiner Nummer über zwei Jahre. Zunächst nur in Schleswig-Holstein unterwegs, wurde nach einer Vorstellung im Zirkus Hagenbeck die Presse auf ihn aufmerksam, und er kam im Berliner Circus Busch als "Cliff Aeros" unter Vertrag. Es folgten internationale Gastspiele. Den Todessprung vollführte er von einem 24 Meter hohen Mast über vier Gleitbahnen, zwischen denen er frei stürzte, die Richtung änderte und mitunter auch einen bajonettgespickten Reifen mit 75 cm freiem Durchmesser passierte. Der 500. Sprung ist für den 27. Juli 1924 im Luna-Park am Auensee in Leipzig belegt.

Anfang der 1930er Jahre wechselte Cliff Aeros vom Artisten zum Dompteur und zeigte einmalige Raubtierdressuren, insbesondere mit Löwen. Berühmt war sein Lieblingslöwe Cäsar, der mehrere Meter über ein Doppeldrahtseil lief und auf einer Plattform schaukelte.

1940 heiratete Cliff Aeros Babette Belli vom Zirkus Belli, in dem er zu dieser Zeit engagiert war. 1942 gründete er im schlesischen Strehlen einen eigenen Wanderzirkus, den Zirkus Aeros. Wegen zweier stromlinienförmiger Wohnwagen, die er selbst gebaut hatte, wurde der Zirkus mitunter auch "schlesischer Stromlinienzirkus" genannt. Als 1944 das Winterquartier in Strehlen von der Wehrmacht beschlagnahmt wurde, wich Aeros in das Varieté Zwei Linden in Görlitz aus.

1945 errichtete Cliff Aeros auf dem Trümmergelände des ehemaligen Krystallpalasts in Leipzig nach eigenen Entwürfen und in dreimonatiger Bauzeit einen hölzernen Kuppelbau für seinen Zirkus, in dem am 7. Dezember 1945 die Eröffnungsvorstellung stattfand. Seine beiden Stromlinienwagen flankierten den Eingangsbereich. Nach leichten Anfangsschwierigkeiten konnte Aeros aber bald expandieren. Er bespielte ab 1946 seinen Zweigbetrieb in Dresden, das Circus-Varieté AEROS im Reichsadler in Dresden-Neustadt. Außerdem kooperierte er mit dem Zirkus Busch-Berlin im Berliner Zoo und dem Ostberliner Zirkus Barlay.

1949 konnte wieder ein Reisebetrieb auf Tournee durch die sowjetische Besatzungszone gehen, während die monatlich wechselnden Programme im festen Haus weiterliefen. Besonderes Aufsehen erregte das Programm vom November/Dezember 1949 "Warum weinst Du, Bambino?", das fast 100.000 Besucher verzeichnete. Aeros hatte die zirzensischen Nummern in ein literarisches Gerüst um einen alt gewordenen Clown und Raubtierdompteur, den er selbst spielte, eingebaut. Hauptattraktion war der Sprung eines jungen Artisten aus der Zirkuskuppel in den Raubtierkäfig.

Am 18. Februar 1952 starb Cliff Aeros im Alter von 62 Jahren an einer vereiterten Rippenfellentzündung. Er wurde auf dem Leipziger Südfriedhof beigesetzt.

Weiterer Fortgang
Nach dem Tod von Cliff Aeros wurde sein Zirkus wegen nie bewiesener Steuerschulden den Erben vorenthalten und unter Treuhandverwaltung durch die Stadt Leipzig gestellt. 1956 wurde der Holzbau abgerissen und durch einen Stahlkuppelbau (Franz-Althoff-Bau) ersetzt,  der ehemals in Stuttgart gestanden hatte und von dort gekauft worden war. Dieser Bau wurde während der Reisezeit des Zirkus als Varieté genutzt. Außerdem wurde ein zweiter Reisebetrieb als Eisrevue gegründet.

Am 1. Januar 1961 wurde der Zirkus Aeros dann dem VEB Zentral-Zirkus (später Staatszirkus der DDR) zugeordnet, dem bereits die beiden Zirkusse Barlay und Busch angehörten.

Der Leipziger Bau wurde zum Veranstaltungsort Haus der heiteren Muse, 1971 vom Fernsehfunk der DDR übernommen und als Vorproduktionsstudio genutzt. 1992 brannte der leerstehende Bau ab.

Nach der Wende 1990 wurde der Staatszirkus aufgelöst. Vom Zirkus Aeros blieb nur der Name, der zeitweilig von kleineren privaten Zirkussen geführt wurde.

Witt O'Brien's
Other critical infrastructure
Louisiana recovers from Hurricane Katrina
Resilience challenge
Hurricane Katrina was the costliest natural disaster and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. At least 1,245 people died, and damages were estimated over $105 billion.
Witt O'Brien's solution
The Governor of Louisiana turned to Witt O'Brien's for immediate assistance. Our team was on site within 48 hours, to share strategic advice on response and recovery efforts.
Over the ensuing decade, we helped the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) to build its organization structure, policies and procedures. We initially provided 250 "surge" specialists to support GOHSEP's small staff, and then worked to "flip" the numbers by expanding GOHSEP's team to 300, while reducing contractor staff to less than 40. We helped secure FEMA disaster recovery grants in support of over 35,000 projects state-wide, and reviewed over 800 hazard mitigation applications.
Resilience delivered
The numbers speak for themselves:
We helped win and administer over $13 billion in FEMA recovery grants
We helped win and administer over $2.2 billion in FEMA hazard mitigation funding
We helped Louisiana appeal 400 funding denials, winning an additional $1.1 billion (with an industry-leading 83% success rate)
Texas raises the preparedness bar for infectious disease
Joplin School District overcomes massive tornado damage
Iowa Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives recovers from ice storms

Amazon US shows a price of $4.98, while in the UK Wow HD is showing a price of £4.88. CD artwork is not yet available.
thanks Jim, seems ages since we had a CD release. Good price, I will be ordering it.
Well that's a very strange mix of tracks to act as an introduction to Dusty. 'Memphis' top heavy! This would be my selection and has no bearing on personal likes otherwise 'Preacher Man' would be excluded. I've never liked it and find it very irritating!
12. Where Is a Woman to Go?
John, the selection on the Flashback CD is limited to tracks that Atlantic has the US rights to, which accounts for the reliance on tracks from Memphis. Based on the US retail price of $5.00, Atlantic's share would not be enough to pay for licensing tracks from other companies.
Of the twelve tracks you chose, John, Atlantic has the US rights to only three of them, ie SOAPM, Brand New Me and Spooky.
I never thought that I would end up being an apologist for a record company. i must go and lie down.
b. to remove the track listing I copied on to here yesterday.
This CD has now appeared on UK Amazon, showing a price of £3.89 but no track listing.
Certainly a most excellent price.
Nice photo but wrong in the context of what the contents will be!
A bit odd to choose a 1964 photo for a CD of material from 1968 to 1970.
Soundwise the cd is excellent despite the fact the version of Spooky is the one with the out of synch finger snaps and minus the echo which I always though enhanced the track.
Surprisingly enough on the sleeve it states Atlantic Recording Corporation after the titles Spooky, How Can I Be Sure & Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart, I would have thought they belong to Universal?
While the tracks you mention were all recorded in the UK by Philips, the US rights to them are owned by Atlantic under the deal that Dusty signed with the two companies in 1968. For the period of the contract, Atlantic would have the North American rights to the UK recordings made by Philips. Conversely, for recordings made in the US by Atlantic, Atlantic would own the North American rights and Philips would own the rights for the rest of the world.

Magic, Nike and the Future of Advertising
Denise Horton
My most vivid memory of Dan was walking into our classroom at Boulder Digital Works and seeing him kick a soccer ball across the room. Taking aim at a six-foot tall stack of chairs, he nailed it on his first attempt. At the moment of impact, I saw a mischievous smile and heard a laugh that lit up the room. As his classmate, I came to know him as a bold, fearless, playful, perpetual optimist…and one hell of a "chair league" soccer player.
Four years later, Dan is Interactive Director on the Nike account for Wieden + Kennedy. Winner of 49 advertising awards between 2012 and 2014, W + K is known for hiring the world's most creative, fearless people to build the success of global brands like Nike, Facebook, Proctor & Gamble and Coca-Cola.
Wieden + Kennedy hit the jackpot when they hired Dan.
Q. "Live in the future and build what's missing." is one of my favorite quotes. For me, this is the key to true innovation – products, services, advertising. Thoughts? I am most interested in technology that pushes us one step forward. I see a lot of people who fetishize bleeding edge and scorn the masses for not moving fast enough. I get most excited about innovation that solves a problem for people versus products designed to just gain attention. The iPod® is an example of smart innovation that evolved from existing human behavior. People were already carrying Walkmans®, so it wasn't a huge leap to wear an iPod on your arm while running. The GoPro® was designed and built by surfers who couldn't get good pictures of themselves surfing. I think start-ups and brands should ask themselves, "What is an interesting next step?" At W & K, we think of ourselves as innovators, but we always connect our ideas to human needs and interests.
Q. Fast forward 5 years from now, what will digital advertising look like? I fear for digital advertising right now. It's so precise and highly targeted. We've become driven by re-targeting and hammering people with advertising. Digital advertising is an unbelievably pragmatic, boring medium. The biggest trend today? A massive glut of practicality. I want digital advertising to be responsive and leverage technology to deliver real time, highly contextual stories. For Nike's 2014 World Cup campaign, Risk Everything, W + K created a digital ad experience that instantly delivered stories about Nike's athletes directly into digital advertising and social media networks. W + K and Nike set up war rooms in Portland and Brazil and partnered with a number of partners to pull it off.
The story behind Nike's "Phenomenal Shot" campaign:
Q. How does your team think about social media when designing campaigns? What do you love about social? Any concerns? We're super excited about getting people involved. That said, I think social media has dulled the Internet. Before social media, people would interact, play and explore online. Now, we look, like, share and write light commentary. I also think social media analytics offer an incomplete picture for brands. Data can't tell you how much a consumer genuinely loves your product or service. When we're creating new Nike campaigns, we shoot for active versus passive engagement. Nike wants to connect with people on a deeply emotional level.
Q. Leo Burnett once said: "Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people." How do you stay curious? How are you evolving your craft? I'm working in an industry where, I wake up each morning, and I'm worried I'm going to miss something. I try to embrace being terrified. I'm always asking myself "If I love something this much, what else is out there that I'm missing?" Is there an artist on Spotify, a book, a great new restaurant that I'm missing out on? The world is an interesting place and I'm culturally curious. That kind of curiosity drives me every day. I remember, in 1994, waiting in line overnight for Phish tickets. Technology has gotten rid of most ticket lines, but I hope everyone has something in their life they're willing to wait in line for.
Q. What is @ the heart of it all for you? Magic. I want to create unexpected, surprising and magical experiences for people. I think brands are trying too hard right now to create content that says something versus creating characters and crafting stories that compel people to explore new relationships with brands. I hope people will continue to open to smart, interesting and real conversations. I think that is where the magic lies.

Humanoid robot
Body shape similar to a human
A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble the human body. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.

iCub robot at the Genoa Science Festival, Italy, in 2009
Humanoid robots are now used as research tools in several scientific areas. Researchers study the human body structure and behavior (biomechanics) to build humanoid robots. On the other side, the attempt to simulate the human body leads to a better understanding of it. Human cognition is a field of study which is focused on how humans learn from sensory information in order to acquire perceptual and motor skills. This knowledge is used to develop computational models of human behavior and it has been improving over time.
It has been suggested that very advanced robotics will facilitate the enhancement of ordinary humans. See transhumanism.
Although the initial aim of humanoid research was to build better orthosis and prosthesis for human beings, knowledge has been transferred between both disciplines. A few examples are powered leg prosthesis for neuromuscularly impaired, ankle-foot orthosis, biological realistic leg prosthesis and forearm prosthesis.
Valkyrie,[1] from NASA
Besides the research, humanoid robots are being developed to perform human tasks like personal assistance, through which they should be able to assist the sick and elderly, and dirty or dangerous jobs. Humanoids are also suitable for some procedurally-based vocations, such as reception-desk administrators and automotive manufacturing line workers. In essence, since they can use tools and operate equipment and vehicles designed for the human form, humanoids could theoretically perform any task a human being can, so long as they have the proper software. However, the complexity of doing so is immense.
They are also becoming increasingly popular as entertainers. For example, Ursula, a female robot, sings, plays music, dances and speaks to her audiences at Universal Studios. Several Disney theme park shows utilize animatronic robots that look, move and speak much like human beings. Although these robots look realistic, they have no cognition or physical autonomy. Various humanoid robots and their possible applications in daily life are featured in an independent documentary film called Plug & Pray, which was released in 2010.
Humanoid robots, especially those with artificial intelligence algorithms, could be useful for future dangerous and/or distant space exploration missions, without having the need to turn back around again and return to Earth once the mission is completed.
Sensors[edit]

A sensor is a device that measures some attribute of the world. Being one of the three primitives of robotics (besides planning and control), sensing plays an important role in robotic paradigms.
Sensors can be classified according to the physical process with which they work or according to the type of measurement information that they give as output. In this case, the second approach was used.
Proprioceptive[edit]
Proprioceptive sensors sense the position, the orientation and the speed of the humanoid's body and joints.
In human beings the otoliths and semi-circular canals (in the inner ear) are used to maintain balance and orientation. In addition humans use their own proprioceptive sensors (e.g. touch, muscle extension, limb position) to help with their orientation. Humanoid robots use accelerometers to measure the acceleration, from which velocity can be calculated by integration; tilt sensors to measure inclination; force sensors placed in robot's hands and feet to measure contact force with environment; position sensors, that indicate the actual position of the robot (from which the velocity can be calculated by derivation) or even speed sensors.
Exteroceptive[edit]
An artificial hand holding a lightbulb
Arrays of tactels can be used to provide data on what has been touched. The Shadow Hand uses an array of 34 tactels arranged beneath its polyurethane skin on each finger tip.[2] Tactile sensors also provide information about forces and torques transferred between the robot and other objects.
Vision refers to processing data from any modality which uses the electromagnetic spectrum to produce an image. In humanoid robots it is used to recognize objects and determine their properties. Vision sensors work most similarly to the eyes of human beings. Most humanoid robots use CCD cameras as vision sensors.
Sound sensors allow humanoid robots to hear speech and environmental sounds, and perform as the ears of the human being. Microphones are usually used for this task.
Actuators[edit]
Actuators are the motors responsible for motion in the robot.
Humanoid robots are constructed in such a way that they mimic the human body, so they use actuators that perform like muscles and joints, though with a different structure. To achieve the same effect as human motion, humanoid robots use mainly rotary actuators. They can be either electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, piezoelectric or ultrasonic.
Hydraulic and electric actuators have a very rigid behavior and can only be made to act in a compliant manner through the use of relatively complex feedback control strategies. While electric coreless motor actuators are better suited for high speed and low load applications, hydraulic ones operate well at low speed and high load applications.
Piezoelectric actuators generate a small movement with a high force capability when voltage is applied. They can be used for ultra-precise positioning and for generating and handling high forces or pressures in static or dynamic situations.
Ultrasonic actuators are designed to produce movements in a micrometer order at ultrasonic frequencies (over 20 kHz). They are useful for controlling vibration, positioning applications and quick switching.
Pneumatic actuators operate on the basis of gas compressibility. As they are inflated, they expand along the axis, and as they deflate, they contract. If one end is fixed, the other will move in a linear trajectory. These actuators are intended for low speed and low/medium load applications. Between pneumatic actuators there are: cylinders, bellows, pneumatic engines, pneumatic stepper motors and pneumatic artificial muscles.
Planning and control[edit]
Rashmi-an Indian realistic lip-syncing multilingual humanoid robot
In planning and control, the essential difference between humanoids and other kinds of robots (like industrial ones) is that the movement of the robot must be human-like, using legged locomotion, especially biped gait. The ideal planning for humanoid movements during normal walking should result in minimum energy consumption, as it does in the human body. For this reason, studies on dynamics and control of these kinds of structures has become increasingly important.
The question of walking biped robots stabilization on the surface is of great importance. Maintenance of the robot's gravity center over the center of bearing area for providing a stable position can be chosen as a goal of control.[3]
To maintain dynamic balance during the walk, a robot needs information about contact force and its current and desired motion. The solution to this problem relies on a major concept, the Zero Moment Point (ZMP).
Another characteristic of humanoid robots is that they move, gather information (using sensors) on the "real world" and interact with it. They don't stay still like factory manipulators and other robots that work in highly structured environments. To allow humanoids to move in complex environments, planning and control must focus on self-collision detection, path planning and obstacle avoidance.
Humanoid robots do not yet have some features of the human body. They include structures with variable flexibility, which provide safety (to the robot itself and to the people), and redundancy of movements, i.e. more degrees of freedom and therefore wide task availability. Although these characteristics are desirable to humanoid robots, they will bring more complexity and new problems to planning and control. The field of whole-body control deals with these issues and addresses the proper coordination of numerous degrees of freedom, e.g. to realize several control tasks simultaneously while following a given order of priority.[4]

Home Research > Members > 1790-1820 > ATHERLEY, Arthur (?1771-1844)
ATHERLEY, Arthur (?1771-1844), of Southampton and Tower House, Arundel, Suss.
Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1790-1820, ed. R. Thorne, 1986
b. ?1771, 1st s. of Arthur Atherley, banker, of Southampton by Susannah, da. of John Carter of Portsmouth, Hants. educ. Eton 1787; Trinity Coll. Camb. 6 May 1790, aged 18; L. Inn 1791. m. 2 June 1793, Lady Louisa Kerr, da. of William John, 5th Mq. of Lothian [S], 3s. 3da. suc. fa. 1820.
Lt. Winchester suburbs vols. 1803, capt. 1804, maj. commdt. 1807.
The Atherley family prospered in trade in Southampton in the early 18th century. Atherley's father was a partner in the local banking house of Atherley and Fall, regarded as a Whig bank. His mother's family dominated Portsmouth politics. He received a gentleman's education and married a marquess's daughter. His father joined Brooks's Club in 1795, he on 18 Jan. 1807, and he was also a member of the Whig Club. He was a friend of Lord Holland, whom he informed after the election of 1802 that 'a singular piece of ill fortune' had prevented his return for Southampton. He had been proposed by his friends on the corporation, but withdrew rather than 'disturb the harmony of the town'. By 1805 it was clear that he would try again. At that time he was 'adverse to Mr Pitt's measures, and ministry'.1
In 1806 Atherley headed the poll with the support of the Grenville ministry. He was listed among the 'staunch friends' of their abolition of the slave trade and after their dismissal voted for Brand's motion, 9 Apr. 1807. At the ensuing election he warned Holland, 'I fear I shall fall a martyr to the cry of No Popery ... however, I shall die in a good cause'. Yet, 'a week had not passed after the election before those who had refused him their votes were expressing their regrets, at what they had done'. His father would not allow him to stand a contest.2 Local politics may have contributed to his setback as well, but by 1812 he was again in a strong position, thanks to the growth of hostility towards the interest of George Rose*, the ministerial manager. He was successful in the contest.
Atherley voted steadily with the Whig opposition when present in the Parliament of 1812 and seems to have paired when unable to attend. He supported Catholic relief throughout, except in 1815. He opposed the corn bill, 3 and 10 Mar. 1815. He voted against the resumption of war with Buonaparte, 28 Apr., 25 May 1815, and thereafter opposed continental entanglements, 20 Feb. 1816, and voted steadily for retrenchment. His first known speech, 13 Mar. 1816, was a complaint of the theft from an inn of his constituents' petition against the property tax— he duly presented it five days later. He opposed the Bank restriction and the suspension of civil liberties. He voted for parliamentary reform on Burdett's motion, 20 May 1817. He was absent in March and April 1818 but appeared in opposition to the aliens bill, 5 and 7 May.
Atherley withdrew in the face of a contest in 1818, revealing his intention in March and pleading the 'interest and comfort' of his family.3 At a by-election in 1819 and in the general election of 1820 he contested Arundel, where he then resided. In 1831 he regained his seat for Southampton, as a reformer. He died 21 Oct. 1844, 'aged 74', having adopted Fox's principles 'throughout his whole life'.4

Arsene Wenger is said to be an admirer of the Argentina international and tried to sign him two seasons ago when he was a Real Madrid player, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says that if the Gunners want the 27-year-old they must pay his £66m buyout clause.
The problem I have with Higuain is that I don't think that he is a big improvement over Oliver Giroud, and the stats seems to show that they are actually pretty similar.
For that kind of money you would expect to sign a world class striker at the top of his game, but I don't see Higuain in that category.
He has a nasty habit of missing goals at crucial points in a game. The Copa America final is a prime example of that where he missed gilt-edged chance to score the winner in the 92nd minute with goalkeeper Claudio Bravo already beaten.
He then followed that up by blasting his penalty in the shootout into row Z. Higuaín's previous horror moments include the one on one he failed to convert against Manuel Neuer in the World Cup final, hitting the post with an open goal against Lyon in the 2009-10 Champions League, and his penalty miss against Lazio that cost Napoli a place in next year's Champions League.
What do you think of Higuain? Is he worth that kind of money?


Today, L choked on some orange at the table. I honestly don't completely know exactly what happened, even though I was sitting right next to her. I noticed her start kicking her legs, she was making a sound every few seconds, so I don't know if she was choking and then managed to breathe again or what, but her lips were purple Absolutely terrifying.
Coincidentally, while she was choking, our neighbors stopped by with a welcome basket. Now, I almost never ever yell or shout. But seeing L's lips purple scared me and I was yelling at her and at H. Not a good moment. We obviously ignored the bell, but they hung around, and I eventually got the door. They probably heard me yelling and think I'm some angry abusive mother / wife. Lovely.
We have had three scary moments with L. This was the third. The second was during her apparent reaction to the MMR vaccine when I took her temperature, and it was 103.7 twenty minutes after giving Tylenol. She was burning up. Ug. That was also a very bad moment. The first was when we weighed her at her two-week appointment and discovered she was more than half a pound below her birth weight. 6.5 pounds is just not much. I was so afraid for my little baby. I love the newborn period, but it's also just so reassuring when they put a little weight on. Honestly, if I could change one thing about my children, I would have them be fatter babies. B's weight gain is just not fast enough for my taste.

Quilt number three is a present for a friend having a baby boy this December in Texas. I followed this pattern (blog), which was very well written and easy to follow and also free.
I made the quilt exactly as described in the pattern, except I used the blue fabric line rather than the pink. Both are very nice, but I think I actually prefer the blue, regardless of gender. But then, blue and green are my favorite colors.
Binding: Radiant Threads 40 in light blue. Double fold binding hand stitched to the back. Cut from selvage to selvage, not on the bias.

I will never forget Ferguson. I spent about 20 minutes of my 90 minute labor listening to coverage outside the birth center.
I would like to know why it took a concern about discrimination for an investigation to occur. Why is unjustified use of excessive force acceptable until it's discriminatory? Excessive police force should never be OK.
Based on reading those, it seems to me that the officer was possibly or even probably justified in firing his gun while he and the youth were tussling in his vehicle. After all, Brown's DNA was found on his gun. However, those were not the shots that were fatal. They didn't even cause significant injury, if you read the articles above. Then Brown ran away, and the officer pursued him. Couldn't he have waited for backup? Wouldn't backup have allowed him to bring Brown in safely? Brown then moved toward the officer. I think it's unjustified to kill him, but I can see why the officer felt he was in a dangerous situation. The key is that if he hadn't exited the cruiser, Brown would likely have just run off and could have been apprehended later. Is there a good reason why he should have exited the vehicle and pursued? No matter how you slice it, the matter seems far from cut and dried.
The NYT article brings up a number of differences between the way this grand jury proceeded and the way they typically proceed. This seems odd to me.
An officer has to have malice or willfully bad intent to be convicted, she wrote. It's an incredibly high bar. "Accident, mistake, fear, negligence or bad judgment is not sufficient," Durkan wrote when declining to charge Birk.
The Seattle case was completely clear, in my opinion. The behavior of the officer was absolutely unnecessary and unacceptable. Everyone agreed. And yet – no indictment. The Missouri case is far less clear, so of course there is no indictment.
There's a fantastic article in the Seattle Times describing an additional two other cases here in which police violence resulted in loss of life or severe injury. Basically, the police can do whatever they please.
I grant you, at long last, there was a DOJ investigation, as I linked at the top. But again, the investigation was only called based on concerns about discrimination. Fortunately, whatever, the reason, it seems likely there will be some changes in the department. But until there are consequences for going around and shooting people, I can't see there being real change.
In Ireland and the UK, most police do not carry firearms. I don't want to go on at length about the pros and cons of this, but it seems to me that in general, we have way to many guns in this country. Isn't it ironic that the only life-threatening risk Brown posed to the officer was because of the officer's own gun?

I'm in the process of hand-sewing the binding to the back of quilt number three.
If I were to do this again, I'd use a lighter colored thread on the bottom section. I used a blue that matched the blue on the bottom and the top, and it showed up way too darkly on the green and on the back. If I could go back in time, I'd use a lighter blue. I discovered that light thread on dark fabric doesn't show up nearly as well as dark thread on light fabric.
I used a lighter colored thread on the pinwheels, and I liked the effect a lot more.
Because this quilt is intended for a Texas recipient, I used Quilter's Dream Orient rather than wool batting. It is so much easier to work with! I miss that lovely wooly smell and the lovely loft of the wool batting, but wow, it's like night and day. Nevertheless, quilting is still by far the hardest part of the project for me. I do feel like I'm gaining some proficiency versus when I started, but it's still an exercise in hunched shoulders, gritted teeth, and a finished product that does not look like what I see in my mind's eye. This time, I again did some practice runs on smaller quilt sandwiches, but it becomes so much harder when I'm trying to move the entire quilt around.

Late night Gilmore Girls has made me reminisce about my Europe trip. 11 weeks. $1200 or thereabouts. 22 years old. A 30 pound pack with the bare essentials. I was in such amazing shape by the end of the summer after hauling that thing around! Limerick, the Aran Islands, Dingle, Dunquin, Castlegregory, other points in Kerry , Dublin, Castledermot, Dinan, Cap Frehel, Rennes, Bourdeaux, Nimes, Arles, Avignon, Girona, Cuenca, Morella, Caceres, Trujillo, Arcos de la Ventura, Sevilla, Granada and Malaga. Will I ever do anything like that again? I hope so. But when?

I finished sewing the binding onto Briony's quilt yesterday and washed it this morning. I read somewhere that a quilt always looks better after washing, and in this case, I concur. It also brought out that wonderful wooly smell.
My spirals look wonky up close, but fine from a distance. Overall, I like the effect.
I pieced together the backing using leftover fabric.
The quilt is 36 x 54″, perfect crib size for Briony.
For piecing, I used Radiant Threads 40-weight thread. For quilting, I used Aurifil Mako 28-weight for the top thread and Aurifil Mako 50-weight for the bobbin thread in 5006, Light Turquoise. I used my closed-toe darning foot. To sew on the binding, I used Aurufil Mako 50-weight in white. I hand-sewed the binding to the back of the quilt with Aurufil 28-weight in light turqoise.
For batting, I used Quilter's Dream 100% wool, which I absolutely loved. It has beautiful drape, and is light and fluffy and warm. Wonderful! The only downside was that the high loft made it a bit hard to work with. I'll definitely use it again.

I've been interested in two types of quilts in my late night quilt wanderings lately. (B woke up every two to three hours last night, so I had plenty of chances to look.) I'm looking at these quilts with an eye to something I might be able to make myself.
There's something about it which I think just makes it really stunning. The color, I suppose. Anyway, creating all those geese doesn't look technically challenging to me, just a whole lot of work. There are about 400 geese, each consisting of three pieces of fabric, on this quilt. Choosing colors is another matter – that would definitely be challenging. I think that is the hardest part of quilting, and maybe the most important part.
I would love to try and make a quilt like this, but I think it's going to have to wait a few months or a year until I have a bit more time.
I think a quilt like this might be more realistic for me to attempt right now as opposed to the flying geese.
I finally got the fabric I want to use for binding for my quilt for Briony in the mail, so I need to get to work on that. Hopefully, I'll finish that in the next week or so.
