Port Credit: 72-Acre Imperial Oil Site Slated for Development
share tweet share comment
West of the Credit River, the marina, and the historic Port Credit village, the Mississauga street grid is broken up by an expanse of vacant land. From above, the former Imperial Oil Lands could—depending on the season—be mistaken for a park. The street level tells a different story. A 72-acre stretch of brownfield land remains fenced off to the public; a remnant of 20th century industry. In March of this year, however, the long-vacant site was officaly sold by Imperial Oil to the 'West Village Partners' (WWP) development consortium, who have now revealed a draft plan for the site's mixed-use redevelopment.
The draft plan outlines a vision for the site, image via West Village Partners
Consisting of developers Kilmer Group, Dream, Diamond Corp, and Fram + Slokker, the WWP won an RFP to purchase the lands in December of last year, with the sale finalized in the early months of 2017. Long slated for redevelopment by the City of Mississauga, the site became the subject of a comprehensive City-led evaluation, with extensive public consultation (begun in 2012) informing the publication of 2015's Inspiration Port Credit (IPC) report.
Prioritizing sustainability, green space, and public access to the waterfront, the report envisioned "urban neighbourhood of landscapes, meeting places, living, working, learning and drawing people to the water's edge to play." In particular, maintaining public access to the waterfront was a primary concern, with an aim to avoid the condo-dominated lakefront seen across parts of Toronto.
The site's current context, image via City of Mississauga
Now, a year and a half later, the developers have came forward with a preliminary vision for the site—dubbed 'West Village Port Credit'—which calls for some 2,500 units, as well as approximately 200,000 ft² of combined retail and office space. Set to house about 5,000 residents, the community will be fronted by a new waterfront park, featuring a beach and "ecological gardens," while a series of green corridors will create pedestrian and cycling links through the site, leading to Lakeshore Road.
Incorporating a series of greenscaped public squares, the site will be anchored by a proposed community centre and adjoining public space. To program the facility, the WWP is exploring partnerships with the YMCA and Evergreen, though more concrete information about the nature of the space is not yet available.
The proposed community hub, image via West Village Partners
As it stands, the draft plan outlines a fairly preliminary vision, with programming, site planning, and architectural expression, still to take shape as the planning process gets underway. While plans for the site remain largely conceptual, the provision of affordable housing is also being touted as a crucial element of the community.
Occupied predominantly by mid- and low-rise structures—apparently slated to feature extensive green roof coverage—up to six of the site's buildings will be high-rises. A height peak of 26 storeys has been identified, with the tallest buildings set to be clustered at the south end of the site, adjacent to the community centre and waterfront park.
The site plan will also attempt to incorporate the vacant site–which was decommissioned by Imperial Oil in 1988—into the surrounding street grid. However, since the street grids to the east, north, and west of the site all vary, the the new thoroughfares will have to transition from the tightly packed urban street grid that characterizes the historic Port Credit Village (to the east) towards the much looser suburban grid to the west and north.

With site studies and surveying now underway, preparatory activity is scheduled to being by the end of the year. Pending approvals, the first phase of construction could begin as early as 2019, though the project's ultimate schedule is contingent on what may prove a complex planning process.
Located over a kilometre from the Port Credit GO station, the viability of the West Village community is at least partially contingent on the implementation of all-day RER service, which would significantly enhance connectivity with Downtown Toronto. In addition, the Port Credit station would serve as an intermodal transfer point for the planned Hurontario-Main LRT, further expanding the area's regional connectivity.

Western Digital 6TB Black and 6TB Red Pro Review - Bigger and Faster!
It has been a while since we took a look at some hard drives here at PC Perspective. While seemingly everyone is pushing hard into Solid State Storage, those spinning platters have gotten the computer industry by for several decades, and they won't be going away any time soon so long as magnetic domains can store bits for cheaper than electrons can. SSDs have been eating away at the market for OS and single drive mobile needs, but when it comes to bulk storage, nothing beats a great hard drive for the money. Since many users would rather avoid maintaining a large array of drives, getting the capacity of each 3.5" unit higher is still a need, especially for storage hungry consumers. Enterprise units have been pushing into 8TB territory lately, but the consumer sweet spot currently remains at 6TB. Western Digital entered this area in July of last year, pushing their popular Green and Red lines up to 6TB. While the capacity was great, those two lines are mean to be power saving, slower spinning drives. When platter speeds are low, the laws of physics (and of rotational latency) kick in and dictate that they could never perform as well as their 7200 RPM counterparts.
For comparison, the slower spinning 6TB Red and Green models run at 5.3W/3.4W/0.4W. Lesson learned - moving from ~5400 RPM to 7200 RPM roughly doubles the power draw of a high capacity 3.5" HDD. Other manufacturers are doing things like hermetically sealing their drives and filling them with Helium, but that is a prohibitively expensive proposition for consumer / small business drives, which is what the Black and Red Pro lines are meant to satisfy. It has also been proven that Helium filled drives are not the best if their track geometry is not optimized as well as it could be.
It's been a while since Western Digital updated their Black series of HDDs, with their 4TB release taking place over two years ago. I'm happy to say that for those looking for a massive HDD suited for holding that enormous games folder too large to fit on your SSD, your wait is finally over, as today WD has updated the Black line to include 5TB and 6TB capacity units.
The Black series introduced that nifty dual stage actuator technology nearly five years ago, and has added a few more bells and whistles along the way. These new models include a 128MB cache and run on dual-core processors.
Along with that news also comes an update to their Red Pro series, which was also limited to 4TB in capacity when they launched last year. Red Pro models will now also include 5TB and 6TB units, so those wanting the most performance and lowest response time from their NAS can now also enjoy that performance at a 50% gain in capacity.
The new 6TB Red Pro also includes a 128MB cache and can peak at 214MB/sec (at the start of the disk). Also included in these is WD's NASware 3.0 firmware, which is specifically tuned to enable packs of these operating in packs while minimizing the effects of vibration on performance.
The 5TB Black comes in at $264 while the 6TB comes in at $294. The Red Pro's come at only an additional $5 over the Black, respectively (small price to pay for better compatibility with larger arrays). Both the Red Pro and Black carry a 5-year warranty.
Press blasts for the 5/6TB Black and Red Pro appear after the break.
Western Digital has extended its Red line with 5 and 6TB models, sporting 1.2TB per platter. Performance is expected to be slightly improved over the older / smaller capacities of the Red. The upgraded line will use an improved 'NASware 3.0' firmware, which makes improvements to Western Digital's software based vibration compensation. These improvements mean WD can now support up to 8 Reds in a single chassis (up from 5 with NASware 2.0).
We typically have our WD reviews post right at the NDA. On this piece, we opted to hold back as we've been working with Western Digital on some abnormal performance results we saw with the 6TB Red. Below are the results seen in Iometer. Note that the 6TB Red failed to demonstrate the expected 'ramp up' seen with other drives. HDDs normally show increased performance as Queue Depth increases. This is because the HDD controller is able to see multiple pending requests and optimize its access pattern. The more commands in the queue (higher QD), the more the HDD can optimize the pattern, and therefore the higher resulting IOPS seen.
As you can see above, the 6TB Red appears to behave as if NCQ is disabled. Some might argue (in reviews that have already published) that the drive still performs well, but the plain truth of the matter is that a HDD effectively operating without NCQ removes the drives ability to scale when multiple commands are issued. Any test issuing more than one command simultaneously will see a lesser result as compared to a properly configured drive, so things like streaming multiple videos or several users actively simultaneously accessing a NAS will see a negative impact on performance.
WD has learned that initial production units of WD Red 5* and 6 TB drives perform below our expectations in random-read benchmark tests when measured with specific testing software. We have found a configuration setting to be causing these particular test results, for which we are developing a firmware update to correct the configuration setting. In the intended application -- multi-drive NAS systems -- the drives have performed to our high expectations in WD's labs and by our system partners; users will experience normal WD Red performance.
WD is committed to providing optimally performing storage products, designed for intended applications, and we will have a firmware update available through the WD Red Product Customer Service support line as it becomes available.
*Limited quantities of 5 TB have shipped with the earlier configuration setting.
We have decided to publish the full article covering both new drives, including the 6TB Red in its (currently shipping) misconfigured form. It will go live once I add the necessary verbiage explaining the misconfiguration seen on the 5TB and 6TB Red. Stay tuned for that piece later tonight (**EDIT** our review is now live **EDIT**), as well as a follow-on piece to be published as soon as we have the updated firmware from Western Digital.
Full press blast on the 6TB Red and 4TB Red Pro appears after the break.
For many users the purchase of a 6TB SSD is out of their price range and for many businesses who need long term storage the return on investment simply doesn't justify an SSD. In some cases tape backup is sufficient but not always which is where products like Seagate's 6TB Enterprise drive excel, a 7200 RPM with an impressive 216MB/s stated sustained transfer rate. It comes with a 5 year warranty and is rated at 550TB per year which means that even if it is heavily used you should not expect failure rates to be high. It does cost a bit at $480 which makes the SAS 4TB model a bit more attractive but when your data needs its space it is hard to find a larger drive. Check out the benchmarks at Overclockers Club.
Western Digital-owned Hitachi Global Storage (HGST) recently announced that it is pursuing the mass production of helium-filled hard drives. The culmination of six-plus years of research and development, Hitachi's engineers have come up with a workable solution to craft a sealed enclosure to contain the helium and internal drive hardware over the long term and in a way that can be mass produced. While the company is not ready to talk specifics or announce individual products, HGST (Western Digital) is going on record in stating that its helium-filled "hard drive platform" will offer up performance, power efficiency, and capacity improvements in a 3.5" form factor (with up to seven platters) sometime in 2013.
Don't try this at home folks, it won't actually work :).
But why exactly is helium better for hard drives? In short, the gas is one-seventh (1/7) as dense as the air around us. This reduction in density allows for the platters to spin faster, or at the same spindle speeds at today's drives while experiencing less resistance and turbulance from versus an air-filled hard drive. Thanks to the reduced drag force, Hitachi can pack the platters closer together, which means that it can place more platters into the 3.5" hard drive form factor than ever before – up to seven with the current design. Further, the motor does not have to work as hard to drive the platters which results in quieter operation and more power savings. HGST also claims that using helium allows for better thermal conductivity, and allows the helium-filled hard drives to run up to 4°C cooler than an equivalently-configured air-equalized drive. Granted, 4°C is not that much of an improvement when looking at a single drive (or even a few in a desktop system), but it can add up to some decent cooling savings when these drives are utilized in datacenters.
Hitachi Global Storage does not yet have any specific products to announce publicly, but the company did offer up a few performance numbers that certainly seem promising – an in line with the company's goal of reducing the "total cost of ownership," or TCO. In addition tot he temperature improvements, the company claims up to 23% power reduction versus air. And when HGST factors in its seven-platter design, they have managed to bring the Watts-per-Terabyte (W/TB) 45% versus current drives. Assuming the helium-aided hard drives use the same (or more) amount of platter area as the company's previous drives, Hitachi/Western Digital could offer up to 7TB hard drives when combined with the company's 1TB per platter areal density improvements.
It has the potential to get even better, however. Should the engineers be able to integrate Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) – similar to what Seagate is pursuing – helium hard drives could offer up approximately 85TB 3.5" drives thanks to the additional two platters. Previously, Seagate envisioned up to 60TB HAMR hard drives in the 3.5" form factor. Those numbers are fairly far off in the future (and theoretical), however. On the other hand, Seagate believes that 6TB HAMR hard drives are reasonably close to public consumption, and if a HAMR drive could also benefit from the extra platters, potential spindle speed improvements, and power savings of using helium, I think 8TB+ is not out of the question while using less power than a traditional air-equalized (not sealed) 6TB HAMR-equipped hard drive.
Extremetech does bring up an interestng point about pricing, though. Mainly that helium is much more expensive than simply using the air around us! And as it is used up, it will only get more expensive, which are likely costs that will be passed onto consumers. Fortunately, it should not be too much of a premium that customers would have to pay (over a traditional hard drive) because a 3.5" hard drive will need only a small amount of the helium gas to realize the benefits, according to PC Perspective's resident storage guru Allyn Malventano.
What do you think about the prospects of a heluim-filled hard drive? Will we see such devices within our lifetimes, and just how much will these things cost? I suppose we'll have to wait until next year to find out!

Q: How to get the HTML of a page in C# when headers are set to HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found Any way to get the html of a webpage even when the header is set to 404? Some pages still have text on them, and in my case I need to read that text.
Example C# code for getting HTML:
 public static string GetHtmlFromUri(string resource)
        {
            string html = string.Empty;
            HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(resource); //Errors here.
            using (HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse())
            {
                bool isSuccess = (int)resp.StatusCode < 299 && (int)resp.StatusCode >= 200;
                if (isSuccess)
                {
                    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream()))
                    {
                        html = reader.ReadToEnd();
                    }
                }
            }
            return html;
        }

And here is a page that i've created to test this with 404 errors: http://bypass.rd.to/headertest.php
If you look in the header, you will see that it is a 404, but text can be read. Now try to get the page in C#...
MessageBox.Show(GetHtmlFromUri("http://bypass.rd.to/headertest.php"));

System.Net.WebException was unhandled
  Message="The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."
  Source="System"
  StackTrace: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

A: The exception contains the HttpWebResponse from which you can access everything that was sent back. See this answer for an example.

MUST PLAY Week 17 NFL DFS Value Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel Sunday Main Slate Lineups
Billy Ward
It is always important to find value for DFS lineups. What is also important is finding value with a reasonable upside, especially for tournaments. This article digs into the cheap players in the Awesemo NFL DFS projections that have the best points-per-dollar ratings. Using those projections, here are the top Week 17 NFL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel lineups.
Best Low-Priced NFL DFS Value Picks for Week 17
FanDuel Value Quarterback: Mac Jones — $6,800
DraftKings Value Quarterback: Trey Lance — $4,800
FanDuel Value Running Back: David Montgomery — $7,200
DraftKings Value Running Back: Sony Michel — $5,800
FanDuel Value Wide Receiver: Tee Higgins — $7,000
DraftKings Value Wide Receiver: Antonio Brown — $6,100
To be clear, Trey Lance (see below) is the best value on both sites this week. However, Lance is a better relative deal on DraftKings, making him the pick there. Anytime a player is likely to be as popular as Lance, finding reasonable pivots for tournaments is important. Lance is far from a sure thing, so a player like Jones outscoring him would go a long way towards tournament success.
Jones has been a better quarterback in real life than in fantasy this season, completing a high rate of passes and taking care of the ball but not pushing it downfield. He has a matchup with Jacksonville this week, though, which boosts his chance for success. Jacksonville is the second-worst pass defense by DVOA in the NFL. The only team worse (the Jets) allowed 300 yards and two touchdowns to Jones in their last meeting. Jacksonville also features a tougher run defense than New York, which could tilt volume towards the pass a bit for the Patriots.
Jones' Patriots also are tied for the highest team total on the slate. That is always a good sign for quarterbacks. He is fourth in overall value in Awesemo's projections for Week 17. However, he is the cheapest option outside of Lance in the top 18 quarterbacks.
Lance is still priced like a backup on DraftKings, just $300 above the minimum salary for quarterbacks. Lance is expected to start for the first time since Week 5 and is in a great matchup with Houston. While Lance struggled in limited action this season, that was a long time ago. He has had almost three months since his last game action. There is certainly reason to believe he is improved since then, as rookies tend to do as the season goes on.
Lance is a true dual-threat quarterback who should be able to find success against the Texans. Betting markets are not viewing Lance as much of a downgrade — San Francisco has a top-five team total this week and is one of the heaviest favorites. Lance is a must-play for cash games and the clear leader in value score in Awesemo's projections.
Montgomery has quietly transformed into a three-down back for the Bears as of late. Prior to his midseason injury, he had only nine targets in four games. Over his last four games, though, he has 31 — an average of almost eight per game. The talent-thin Bears have realized getting the ball in Montgomery's hands by any means necessary is the best plan for them, giving him over 25 opportunities (targets plus carries) per game over the last month.
That should continue this week, as the Bears are favored by 6 against the Giants. New York features a mediocre passing defense but ranks 27th against the run on the year. Coupled with the Giants' terrible offense that is unlikely to hold the ball for long, that is a recipe for a ton of Montgomery volume and decent efficiency. His red-zone role is also notable — he is tied for fifth on the slate in red zone opportunities (among running backs.) He is the top value in Awesemo's projections for FanDuel backs in Week 17.
While the FanDuel pick (Montgomery) is the better overall value on DraftKings, Michel is close this week. Michel should have a near every-down role with Darrel Henderson on injured reserve. Michel has at least 20 opportunities in each of the Rams' games in December, with Henderson missing or being limited in all of them. They clearly trust Michel as a lead back, and he has not disappointed, rushing for almost 5 yards per carry and over 100 yards per game. Cam Akers is active for the first time this season but tore his Achilles tendon in the preseason. It is unlikely Akers will see much, if any, work in his first game back from such a significant injury.
The matchup this week is a good one, as the Rams are facing Denver's 28th-ranked overall defense by DVOA. They are also favored and have shown a desire to lean on the run when they are controlling games. Michel is a top-three option in value in Awesemo's projections this week.
For some reason Higgins is still priced as if he is the No. 2 option. Since the Bengals Week 10 bye, Higgins has outscored Ja'Marr Chase by over 40 fantasy points. Tyler Boyd has even outscored Chase in that timeframe. Higgins has more targets, receptions, air yards, and touchdowns. He is the true alpha receiver here, yet still coming at a discount.
That makes him a clear value in one of the best game environments on the week 17 slate. The Bengals are playing in one of only two games with a total of 50 points or more, as they take on the Chiefs at home. The underdog Bengals will need a lot of passing volume to keep up with the Chiefs offense, and Higgins is their best weapon in the passing game. He is not exactly low priced, but he is a value this week, with the best value score in Awesemo's projections for any receiver under $8,000
With Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette all inactive last week, Brown was targeted on half of Brady's pass attempts. He caught 10 of 15 looks for over 100 yards. All three players are out again this week. Despite that, his salary remains fairly low on DraftKings. While it is doubtful he will continue with a 50%-plus target share, another 10 or more targets is not unreasonable. The Buccaneers are also playing the Jets, the league's worst pass defense by DVOA and the fourth worst by opponent plus/minus allowed to receivers.
Brown is not quite low priced in the strictest sense. However, nowhere else on the slate are there double-digit targets against the league's worst defense. That makes him a screaming value at his current salary. He leads all receivers on DraftKings in value in Awesemo's projections this week.

Kirk Sorensen has pointed to another article on Utah's energy future in this morning's Salt Lack City Deseret Morning News. This article drives home something I have been increasingly aware of for some time, the fact that the materials that will go into new electrical generating capacity will become increasingly expensive over time. This is already happening, and is already beginning to increase the cost of both renewable energy sources, and traditional power generating technology. Competition for steel and concrete with Europe and China are driving the cost of those basic building materials higher and higher. The Deseret Morning News reports that in 2000 steel cost $425 per ton, and in 2007 it was $893 per ton. Material costs are increasingly increasing the price of renewable generating capacity. The report quotes Dave Eskelsen, of the Rocky Mountain Power in Salt Lake City: "In 2003 you could get a wind turbine for $1 million. Now it will cost you $2 million, and almost all of this is for the cost of steel and concrete." The cost of wind generation projects will quickly becoming their limiting factor if such inflation continues, and it is expected too.
The story offers Rocky Mountain Power's recent price estimates for new generating capacity. Eskelsen pointed to the inflation in price of new coal fired power plants: "The current cost of Rocky Mountain Power's generation is around $35 a megawatt-hour," Eskelsen said. But if the utility were to build a new coal-fired plant, using the efficient pulverized-coal technology, "that would cost you $60 to $65 a megawatt-hour."
New geothermal systems would cost more than $60 per megawatt-hour; new wind farms at Class 5 sites would boost the price of power by a few more dollars per megawatt-hour, and new nuclear plants would cost around $75 per megawatt-hour.
The "concentrating solar" system, like that used in the California desert, comes in at an estimated $180-plus per megawatt-hour.
This statement invites several comments. First, the price of wind-generated electricity refers to the price of wind as supplemental power. If fossil fuel generation is phased out, intermittent wind generation will be of little use without an energy storage system. Storing wind energy will raise the cost. The materials inflation will most certainly continue to raise the cost of new wind generated electrical capacity.
Secondly, the price of coal fired steam plants appears to not include a carbon penalty.
Carbon penalties should be included in risk assessment with fossil fuel fired electrical plants.
Thirdly the cost of Geothermal should be noted with the understanding that Utah has some geothermal resources at fairly shallow depths. The limits of those resources are not discussed in the article, but many Utah geothermal power plants are small.
Finally, the we ought to note the estimated cost of nuclear power. Early last tear Westinghouse was quoting figures as low as $1 per KW for an AP-1000. This figure was actually the cost of a reactor kit. Assembling the reactor and building the installation was expected to cost at least a billion more in the United States. Some independent estimates put that figure at more like two billion dollars, and estimates run even higher. To that we can add the cost of money. Now the design of the AP-1000 has many advantages over past reactors. Fewer parts go into the reactor, so less material is used. The reactor kit contains pre-assembled modules, shifting assembled costs away from the reactor construction site. The reactor is designed for rapid construction, thus limiting the accumulation of pre-startup interest. Finally the reactor installation has been designed for rapid construction and to decrease material demands. Still materials inflation has influenced Westinghouse to back off from their earlier price expectations. The $75 per megawatt-hour is in line with recent reactor cost experiences in Europe. However, European reactors have not gone through the Westinghouse materials diet.
We ought, however, look carefully at the materials demand of even the AP-1000. It is clear that light water reactors will always require far more steel, concrete and other materials than some other reactor designs. In particular the Pebble Bed Reactor and the Molten Salt Reactor require far less materials in both the reactors themselves and in their installation. Both reactor designs are inherently safer than Light Water Reactors. Much of the material requirement for light water reactors is safety related. Light Water Reactors heat water under pressure. The pressure means that each LWR needs a massive steel pressure container, which contains the reactor and its inner plumbing. The pressure container is a production bottleneck for LWRs.
Because they are safer, make far less materials demands, and are less expensive to build, the PBR and the MSR are clearly the best options for the American energy future. Both reactor designs can be built in factories, thus bringing economies of scale to production costs. Both can be produced in relatively small compact packages. Mass produced reactors like these can be quickly installed, without the massive buildings required by LWRs.
The MSR has several notable advantages over the PBR. It is a breeder, and thus far less fuel than the PBR. The MSR can breed thorium a material that is so abundant, that an economy base on energy from MSRs can provide all the electricity we need for thousands of years. Finally the MSR virtually solves the problem of nuclear waste, since it produces 0,1% pf the waste produced by light water reactors. The RBR produces waste at similar rates to LWRs.
I believe that rising material costs, and the many advantages of the MSR will make it the inevitable choice for America's and indeed the worlds future source of energy.


If you're a Travis-CI user, like many projects are, you'll find this new post from Raphael Stolt very interesting. In it he provides "eight knobs" you can use to improve your use of the service and optimize your test runs.
For each item on the list he includes the updates you'll need to make to your .travis.yml configuration to enable/disable the feature.
In this new post to his site Matthew Weier O'Phinney details the process they (Zend) used to create the documentation for the latest release of their Expressive PSR-7 compatible framework (now in v1.0).
While they decided on MkDocs for the actual document generation (written in Python) Matthew how he integrated it with the builds they'd already created for the Expressive framework. He talks about reusability for the process, eventually using it again on the Zend Framework side. He also shows the full process for creating the resulting documentation and pushing it over to GitHub Pages including the setup of the credentials, which events should trigger the build and handling environment variables and software dependencies. It's a great post with plenty of details on each step of the process - I'd highly recommend it if you're looking into building these sorts of documents for your project.
In a post to his site Cees-Jan Kiewiet shows you how to get an authentication token from GitHub to use in your testing on the Travis-CI continuous integration service.
The composer cache greatly speeds up your composer part of the build by only going to Github for new downloads. When combined with test lowest, current, and highest possible on Travis you only reach out to Github for new versions. Most likely to happen during the highest possible set of builds, but also when you've updated composer.*. This normally isn't an issue unless you hit Github's rate limit. And since composer is running on a 'public' travis box with a 'public' IP address that has been use by many builds before it there is a very very high chance it already hit the 60 requests per hour limit.
[...] To counter this problem we have to set a Github authentication token as environment variable in Travis for each project. And update .travis.yml so the token is used by composer.
Each step includes either a screenshot of where to go or the configuration example you'll need to use (like in the yml file).

In the the third installment of the series, we head to Santiago de Cuba, to see how dance music's path through the decades has resulted in the scene's most vibrant moment.
In the first two episodes of Sub.Culture:Cuba, our three-part look into the development of dance music on the island, we learned how early electroacoustic music built a bridge for Cuba's first wave of DJs to cross into a new era of machine-led sound, followed by a dive into how those first selectors channeled the socialist country's economic turbulence to develop a nightlife scene. Now, in the the third and final installment of the series, we head to present-day Santiago de Cuba, where MANANA festival took place in May of this year, to see how dance music's journey through the decades has paved the way for the scene's most vibrant moment.
In the episode, two of MANANA's founders, local MC Alain Garcia Artola, and British nightlife organizer, Harry Follet, discuss how collaboration is at the core of the festival's ethos. They explain the event's initial vision, which is to explore and present on stage, the space where Afro-Cuban music (a style native to Santiago de Cuba) and contemporary electronic music intersect—filling their bill with the likes of international talents like Quantic, Nicolas Jaar, and A Guy Called Gerald, as well Cuban acts like Wichy De Vedado and rumba band Okkubuté. Working with talents both international and local, the event connected the music of Santiago de Cuba with dance music in a broader context—and it worked.
We later catch up with Alain, a heron on the local music scene, who invites us to sit on the roof of the house he grew up in and tells us he got involved with the festival. Harry, who met Alain when he first traveled to Cuba to help build a collaborative music studio, helps trace the festival's long journey toward success. In closing, we hear once again from local Cuban DJs like Djoy de Cuba, who expresses the importance of an event like MANANA to his career and life's journey. He also explains how Major Lazer's recent blowout street performance in Havana, a spectacle that took place shortly before MANANA, further cements the fact that dance music is here to stay on the island.

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
The band releases their song, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, from their album, Armageddon: The Album. Perry:
At the time, we just didn't have the time to settle down and do it. We were out on the road, so they brought us in to see the movie and said 'here's the song, this is where it fits into the movie, you can do it if you want.' So we were in the studio within the next three days cutting it. And yeah, we do wish that we'd had a little more time, so that we could have had a shot at writing it, but it was perfect timing. The song was great, people loved it, and I don't think people care that much who wrote it.

Vatican Nativity creche inspired by Peru's Andean region
The Nativity is from the Huancavelica region and will be unveiled to the public during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony
A general view of the Nativity scene made by Peruvian artists exhibited at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican on Dec. 9. (Photo: AFP)
By Junno Arocho Esteves, Catholic News Service

Updated: December 10, 2021 05:02 AM GMT
The representation of Peru's diverse indigenous communities in this year's Nativity scene in St. Peter's Square embodies the joy and hope of their faith, said Peruvian Bishop Carlos Alberto Salcedo Ojeda of Huancavelica, Peru.
Bishop Salcedo joined Jorge Eduardo Román Morey, the Peruvian ambassador to the Vatican, and other Peruvians to show journalists around the Vatican Nativity scene on Dec. 9.
In October, the Vatican City State governing office said the 30-piece Nativity scene from Peru's Huancavelica region was chosen, in part, to mark the 200th anniversary of Peru's independence.
Statues of Joseph and Mary, as well as the Three Kings, are dressed in the traditional bright, multicolored garments of the region's indigenous Chopcca people.
Unlike more traditional depictions of the Magi, trudging to Bethlehem with camels and gifts of gold, incense and myrrh, the Andean interpretation has them accompanied by llamas and bearing sacks of food from the region, including corn, quinoa and potatoes.
In front of the llamas, an angel, dressed in traditional Andean clothing, hails the birth of the Messiah by playing a flute in one hand while banging a drum with the other. Overlooking the Peruvian Nativity scene atop a tree is an Andean condor, the country's national symbol, with its massive wings spread preparing to soar the heavens.
The people are happy and celebrate their faith with joy, and it is expressed in their community life
Bishop Salcedo told reporters the creche "represents the Chopcca people's faith in Jesus" as well as the hope they share "despite the difficulties, such as the pandemic as well as the other 'pandemics,' like poverty, corruption or the neglect of government authorities."
The Peruvian bishop, who was appointed by Pope Francis in May to lead the Diocese of Huancavelica, said he continues "to learn from the hope and faith" of the Chopcca people which "helps me very much with the work that I am fulfilling at a pastoral level."
"The people are happy and celebrate their faith with joy, and it is expressed in their community life," he said. "That is something very beautiful, and as a new bishop, little by little, I am learning more."
As Peru's ambassador to the Vatican, Román told journalists the Nativity scene is "a representation of the richness of Peru's culture."
"It is an honor for Peru to be represented here in St. Peter's Square this Christmas, after we, and the whole world, have been closed," he said. "After two years, today we can be present, and being here in the square is a privilege for Peruvians."
The garments as well as the multicultural characteristics of the statues in the Nativity scene, he added, are not only representative of Peru's diversity but also a testament to the faith of the Chopcca people who "are a very great and fervently religious people who celebrate Christmas in a special way."
The Chopcca people "observe the festivities with much devotion. So, what you see here is their interpretation of what the tradition of Christmas and the Nativity would be," Román said.
The Vatican Nativity scene was to be unveiled the evening of Dec. 10, along with the lighting of the 90-foot-tall spruce tree. They will remain in the square through Jan. 9, the feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
