A new book documents Europe's loss of humanity as refugees struggle to seek a haven away from wars and degradation.
Woman and child, Lesbos, 2015. Santi Palacios/AP/Press Association Images. All rights reserved.Escaping wars, destruction and poverty is simply human. The unequal world in which we live has always created conditions for desiring escape.
When Europe calls the refugees' desperate attempt to enter the continent a 'migrant crisis', we know that in reality it is a crisis caused by inequality, war and conflict, as a recent briefing released by Global Justice Now points out. With rich countries building up fences and strengthening their borders, the poor of developing countries lose their lives. According to the International Organisation for Migration, over 25,000 people have died in their attempt to reach or stay in Europe since 2000.
Last week, more than 700 refugees drowned in the Mediterranean over three separate crossings from Libya: the highest death toll of sea-crossing refugees in more than a year.
The dehumanising EU-Turkey deal that went into effect on 20 March 2016 to deport refugees reaching Greece back to Turkey has, as predicted, prompted people smugglers to return to dangerous routes through Libya to Italy. More people are expected to take these routes in the coming months.
In Crossing the Sea: With Syrians on the Exodus to Europe, a new book written by Wolfgang Bauer, a reporter for Die Zeit, the story of Europe's loss of humanity is told in refugees' tremendous effort to seek a haven away from wars and degradation. Most of them are from Syria, where the bloody conflict, according to UN, has killed 250,000 people and displaced more than 12 million since 2011.
Bauer and photographer Stanislav Krupar went undercover in an attempt to uncover the harsh reality of sea-crossing for the refugees. They posed as English teachers in 2014, and witnessed the extreme vulnerability of refugees – their personal safety constantly put at great risk by the network of profiteers created by the clandestine crossing arrangements. And this is before they even got on the boat, and set out on their sea journey.
Bauer and Krupar were housed in an apartment in Alexandria, Egypt, by the smuggler, and experienced the desperate period of waiting for their crossing, alongside Syrian refugees whom they befriended. As a group, they were kidnapped by a local gang and were eventually released after their smuggler paid the ransom. But when they were finally about to embark on their sea trip, they were arrested and detained. The two were then deported from Egypt to Turkey. Their fellow-traveller Syrians eventually got on a boat and left for Europe.
What Crossing the Sea does best is give a face to the dehumanised 'refugee crisis' that we read about in everyday news headlines. Someone once told me that after reading about so many drownings of refugees, he sometimes feels numbed about what happened. But when there is a human face behind the news story, it is impossible to turn your attention away from it. It would be impossible to switch off your humanity.
While doing so, Bauer points to Fortress Europe as responsible for the tragic drownings. People smugglers, operating similarly to unscrupulous travel agents, are choosing more and more dangerous routes as a result of the EU stepping up measures to close its borders. As the UN stopped recording the countless death toll of wars in Syria in early 2014, Europe also further tightened its borders, which Bauer said became death strips for refugees. "Europe's birthplace, the Mediterranean, has now become the setting of its greatest failure," he writes.
Bauer and Krupar decided to actively challenge Fortress Europe when, a month after their deportation and return to Germany, they received a call from their fellow traveller Alaa, to tell them that he and his brother Hussan, who finally set out from Alexandria in Egypt, had made it to Europe by sea and were now sitting on an Italian warship.
Bauer and Krupar became the 'smugglers' that they initially set out to investigate, much like the Danish children's rights campaigner Lisbeth Zornig, who was prosecuted under people-trafficking laws, for allowing a Syrian family to hitch a ride with her to Copenhagen. Zornig's husband was also prosecuted for the same 'crime', for taking the family into his home for coffee and biscuits and then driving them to the railway station where he bought them tickets to Sweden.
When acts of humanity break the laws, we know that we are truly in dark times. Indeed, these prosecutions were brought in a country where the centre-right ruling party, Venstre, supported by the anti-immigration Danish Peoples Party (DPP), has recently passed a piece of law that allows authorities to search and seize valuables from asylum seekers, and to deny refugees the right to apply for their family to join them until they have spent over 3 years in the country. Venstre has openly said that these laws are passed mainly to keep people – and to scare people – from seeking asylum in Denmark.
But such regressive tactics of fear will not succeed in keeping fellow human beings from taking the rational decision to seek a safe haven and betterment.
Currently, Europe's elites and corporate media are preventing Europeans from thinking outside of their box. Europeans need to start thinking about the ethics of shutting out the poor of the global south – while extracting resources out of the global south – and at the same time, granting freedom of movement to people, particularly the wealthy, of the global north. As Global Justice Now observes, this is little better than perpetuating apartheid on a global scale.
When reaching the final few pages of Crossing the Sea, you cannot help feeling great relief that the 'characters' in the book have made it to their final destination, and at least will now have the opportunity to rebuild their lives. You feel relieved for them because you understand that they are not just characters in a book. They are flesh and blood, like you and me, and have every right to find security and hope for improvement of their lives.
Crossing the Sea: With Syrians on the Exodus to Europe, by Wolfgang Bauer and Stanislav Krupar, is published by And Other Stories.


I mistakenly asked to review New Tricks thinking it was a new Police drama by the BBC. It was to some surprise when New Tricks Series 7 arrived, and it got me wondering why I had never come across it before, especially as I tend to have a soft spot for British crime drama. A quick bit of research showed me that New Tricks began life as one off episode early in 2003, but attracted a significant enough number of viewers that the BBC commissioned an eight episode season from it. It's popularity only increased and more recently the BBC have announced that they want a ninth and tenth season of the show.
The show's history however, meant nothing to me at this stage, because I was now faced with having to jump into a TV show at the beginning of it's seventh season, which can be very tricky because you know nothing – or very little – of the back-story.
All I really knew about New Tricks was that it was based around the work of the work of the Metropolitan Police Service's Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS), was made up of retired police officers lead by the much younger Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman.
The first thing I noticed, to by relief, was that it was easy to jump in to the show – there seemed to be little back story to catch up on, and the show seemed content to be solving a different unsolved case each week, rather than bothering with a cumbersome bigger story-line running parallel to the cases.
New Ticks is a bit of an odd-ball police drama, with the unit of geriatrics who use out dated methods, a wealth or personal knowledge of historic cases and some very un-PC approaches to crime solving.
It's certainly a character based show, and the characters are varied, but have great chemistry and work well together. A mix of curious cases mixed with a healthy dose of humour and a refreshing absence of tech reliant crime solving solutions – one of the old dogs rides a push bike, sometimes when investigating a case – makes New Tricks a uniquely invigorating experience.

With three major world firsts and a total of 60 new products, IKA, the world market leader in the field of laboratory, analytical and process technology, is proudly presenting itself at this year's ACHEMA in Frankfurt.
IKA is continuing its successful path since ACHEMA six years ago. During this time, scientists, engineers and technicians have developed innovative devices that greatly simplify measuring, stirring, kneading, dispersing and cleaning in various ways. The result is time saving and thus significantly more efficiency in the laboratory.
IKA Starvisc 200-2.5 control, the new torque measuring stirrer / instrument, is a globally unique system: it simultanously measures and displays viscosity during product development. The result can be immediately read on the display. Starvisc therefore has a broad range of applications in research: even during research phase it clearly indicates whether the stirred substance can be used as desired. The device is characterized by high-precision measurement, a user-friendly menu for viscosity calculation, a removable control and a powerful and very intense agitator.
IKA also presents its globally unique MultiDrive crusher for the first time. Thanks to the large number of vessels, the device handles a wide variety of crushing tasks, for hard, soft or fibrous samples. The MultiDrive basic mixes and grinds. With a guaranteed output of 1,000 watts, it ensures excellent crushing performance. The interval mode is a definite advantage for pre-grinding hard samples or for extra-thorough blending. In addition, the device has an integrated cooling connection. This allows the sample material to be cooled without coming into contact with the coolant. The MultiDrive control mixes, grinds and disperses, and is also fitted with a disposable tube. Its clear TFT display ensures user-friendly operation.
MultiDrive control offers temperature measurement and vessel detection via RFID. A temperature limit for temperature-sensitive materials or for certain planned reactions can be configured to protect against overheating. The weighing function is integrated into IKA MultiDrive control's easy-to-use workflow. Weighing is performed before crushing using the same mixing cup, so that no transfer of contents is required.
The IKA T 25 easy clean high-performance disperser is globally without equal, as well. For the first time, it is possible to disperse more quiet and cleaner. Even remote-controlled operation is possible in the proven way. The digital and control versions of the device offer an impressive electronic speed control of 3,000 - 25,000 rpm, a working volume of 1 - 2,000 ml (water), a very long service life both for the drive and tools, as well as a large selection of dispersing tools. Hence, medical samples are perfectly homogenised, cosmetics emulsified and paints suspended. Dispersion under vacuum or pressure is also possible in conjunction with an IKA laboratory reactor.
IKA is working with a new motor technology for the T 25 easy clean series. At just 70 dB, the brushless DC motor significantly reduces noise inside the lab. It also allows operation without carbon dust. The tool can be easily cleaned without dismantling, because the rotor can be extended in one simple step. IKA has also developed a particularly robust housing for the new dispersers. The easy-to-read display convinces with its timer function. Another highlight is the patented, integrated temperature measurement available with the T 25 easy clean control version. The temperature sensor is integrated into the tool and thus enables permanent monitoring of the medium's temperature.
In addition to its world firsts, IKA also presents the new ULTRA-TURRAX® Tube Drive power control disperser with an even stronger motor. It promises to deliver the best stirring, dispersing, grinding and homogenization results and is particularly suitable for the safe processing of infectious, toxic or odor-intensive samples. The hermetically-sealed disposable system minimizes contact with the sample material and speeds up sample preparation. Cross-contamination is thus impossible. The new ROTAVISC series determines the viscosity of liquids in all applications, from the laboratory to quality control. The four devices measure in different viscosity ranges.


For most visitors to Algonquin Park, entrance through the gates on Highway #60 is the preferred way to enter Canada's favourite – and oldest – provincial park. It's a beautiful route dotted with campgrounds, picnic areas, interpretive walking trails, a visitor centre, a museum, and an art gallery. For the folks inclined to a more rugged adventure though, you might enjoy heading to the west side of the Explorers' Edge region – to the Almaguin Highlands – where you'll discover Algonquin from a whole new perspective.
every portage you cross puts more campers behind you to really create a true wilderness experience. With fewer people travelling the lakes and rivers of this part of the park, you'll find that the wildlife seems more plentiful as well. Moose, beavers, otters, and various birds can all be easily spotted along any canoe route – a big draw for photographers too.
Access to this region is by several dirt roads that lead to one of four access points. Just follow Highway #11 and look for the Algonquin Park signs. Many outfitters are also located near or in this side of the park.
Algonquin's west side is not just more adventurous travellers, it's also a great destination for the gentle explorer. Folks can just pack an overnight bag and have everything looked after for them as well. Consider a guided canoe trip with Voyageur Quest and or trips that focus on understanding the wildlife of Algonquin Park, such as Northern Edge Algonquin's guided wilderness safaris. Guests on these experiences are taken to special locations by guides who live and work in the area, and often get to see parts of Algonquin Park that most adventurers don't even know about.
Sleeping on the ground isn't a requirement for enjoying the nature of Algonquin Park either. Both Voyageur Quest and Northern Edge Algonquin offer cabin accommodations, as do plenty of nearby accommodation providers in the nearby Almaguin Highlands.

If you do many MOSS Publishing Sites for anonymous audiences you may have comes across the interesting artifact of Forms pages being visible to anonymous users. An example of this might be a site which allows anonymous access to the Entire Site, anonymous users will be able to navigate (and may get redirected to) URLs like http://domain/Pages/Forms/AllItems.aspx, or http://domain/Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx. AllItems.aspx could really be any view on the list.
The problem with this is that it leads to a non branded experience for the user. One minute they're browsing your sharp looking Master Page and the next they're seeing a really ugly version of your site (also known as stock SharePoint).
What Does ViewFormPagesLockdown Actually Do?
There's no real easy way to say hide AllItems.aspx or similar views from users if you're running anonymous access on your site. These users run under the Limited Access privilege set, a default set of permissions that you can't change through the UI, which is why we have this Lockdown feature to assist you.
When you activate this feature you change the permissions of the Limited Access privilege group removing the following permissions: View Application Pages (List permission), and Use Remote Interfaces (Site permission). Here's a table of what that privilege set looks like before and after running the lock down feature. It's from the following MS article.
Because we've effectively removed the ability to see Application Pages to everyone who was using Limited Access (ie. Anonymous Users) when users end up visiting one of these pages they'll get challenged for a better credential. The result is that they'll get either an NTLM login box, or redirected to a login page (if you're using forms authentication).
Can we do anything else?
Some stakeholders don't really like the NTLM popups or the Login Pages on a site that is supposed to be anonymous in the first place. These prompts of course only happen because we just stripped out security to content they'd normally have access to in the first place...but life's far from rational.
Another approach would be to write an HttpModule and intercept requests to Application Pages in the form of a regular expression. At that point you can redirect them to a friendly branded page or simply send them back to the sub site root and let the Welcome Page take over. I'll post such code in a future post.
If you have any other thoughts I'd love to hear them.
Can u pls post the HttpModule code for redirect. I want to redirect anonymous user from particular list page, not from all pages.
Will do, I'll post it before end of day Friday.

Trade shows exclusively for the MICE sector – such as airlines, hoteliers, convention centres, professional congress organisers, national tourism organisations, and incentive event organisers. Trade talks at fairs are held on the basis of individual scheduled meetings with Hosted Buyers exhibitors, i.e. selected organisers of business meetings.
Participation in business tourism fairs is important to Krakow as the means of promotion of the City in terms of conference tourism and the tasks undertaken by the Krakow Municipal Office as part of the Congress Bureau.
Trade shows provide the opportunity to present Krakow's business tourism industry offer in foreign markets.
The main point of the trade shows are meetings with exhibitors which are Hosted Buyers, i.e. participants in a special programme run by the fair organisers. This programme is based on the fair inviting representatives of companies and organisations who are exclusively executives looking for specific products from the industry. The organisers of these fairs have the best designed programme, evidence for which is a special individual online calendar for each exhibitor, launched just two months before the fairs with the capability to enter and plan meetings at the trade shows.

London Fashion Week Marked by a Funeral for the Earth
Jocelyn Silver
Despite the barrage of press releases I receive each day about this and that sustainable brand and this and that carbon neutral fashion show and so-and-so designer who is making "green" clothing (though the green clothes tend to mostly come in beige and dusty rose), there is simply no such thing as sustainable fashion. It doesn't exist! Upcycling comes close, but it is basically impossible to buy new clothing without leaving an enormous carbon footprint.
Enter Extinction Rebellion, a British climate change activist group that has staged protests, die-ins, and now a funeral procession throughout London Fashion Week. Earlier this summer, the group urged people to "boycott fashion" by refusing to buy clothing for a year. They also asked the British Fashion Council to cancel LFW altogether, and to hold a conference on climate change instead.

"During fashion month, the industry travels to global destinations to parade, see, and buy fashion, [and] it creates the desire that results in the consumption of fast fashion and beyond," reads a post on the group's Facebook page. "Fashion should be a cultural signifier of our times, and yet the industry still adheres to an archaic system of seasonal fashions, adding pressure to relentlessly create new fashion from new materials."
LFW went on as planned, but Extinction Rebellion made efforts to interrupt it. On the first day of London Fashion Week, September 15th, they staged a "die-in" outside LFW's central venue, 180 The Strand, with protestors dousing themselves in fake blood to symbolize the deaths that have and will come from climate change. Some even glued themselves to the door. And on Tuesday, the group staged a funeral procession, marching from Trafalgar Square to The Strand.
As CNN reports, the funeral was elaborate. The protestors dressed in full mourning garb and carried bouquets of white roses. Pallbearers held up coffins with slogans reading "OUR FUTURE." Marchers carried signs reading "LIFE OR DEATH" and "R.I.P. LFW."
Bel Jacobs, a former fashion editor who now works with Extinction Rebellion, told CNN that the funeral was organized to "mark a hopeful end to London Fashion Week," and to "lay to rest the toxic system that is destroying us all, and to mourn those who have already lost their lives and those still to lose their lives to the effects of climate change."
"The fact is that we have already produced enough clothing to last us all for the next 40 years and beyond — at considerable cost to our planet," she said. "We are hoping that people will look at what they already own and use it in new imaginative, creative and joyful ways."

Q: How to elimitate ssh login delay i have a small (4 seconds) login delay on my 18.04 ubuntu servers, that drives me crazy:
$ time ssh root@gateway exit

real    0m4,066s
user    0m0,015s
sys     0m0,005s

I've already checked the "usual" culprits: DNS, Avahi, pam_systemd.so, they aren't the cause. I've also shorten out /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, /root/.bashrc by putting a "exit 0" in the beginning of these files. It causes a little faster connect of 0m3,915s. So, they aren't the cause, either.
The ssh -vvv shows, the whole time is lost after:
...
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug3: ssh_session2_open: channel_new: 0
debug2: channel 0: send open
debug3: send packet: type 90
debug1: Requesting no-more-sessions@openssh.com
debug3: send packet: type 80
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: pledge: network

So, it seems not a problem with ssh itself. I'am guessing, there are running additional scripts on login that are stealing my time, but which are they and where they get triggerd?

A: Thanks for the hint with /etc/update-motd.d/, i've quashed most of these buggers there one by one. Problem is solved.
Hall of shame:
50-landscape-sysinfo -> 2,6sec loss
80-esm -> 0,5sec loss
95-hwe-eol -> 0,5sec loss

A: I just had the same problem, but the existing solutions didn't solve it. The timing was even worse:
user@my_machine ~
$ time ssh my_server exit

real    0m25.724s
user    0m0.031s
sys     0m0.062s

user@my_machine ~
$ time ssh my_server exit

real    0m25.444s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.077s

To debug what was taking so long, I increased the ssh verbosity via the -vvv option as in
time ssh -vvv my_server exit

...which made it obvious that the time was taken during the pledge: network stage, which allowed me to search for that specific problem.
What helped in the end was to

*

*set UsePAM to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config as suggested on ServerFault,

*followed by sudo service sshd restart.

According to this post on ubuntuforums, disabling PAM should be fine when using keys:

If you are using keys you should disable password authentication
  (PAM).
This will increase security.

A: I once had a similar problem. It turned out that it was a printer that had a fault and was blasting the network with job requests or something. Replaced the printer and most of the network problems evaporated.

You've heard of planking, owling, Tebow-ing, and other such fads, camera poses, and methods of trolling. Now prepare yourself for the newest one: "Alienating". With this new trend, you go around doing the popular pose that Giorgio Tsoukalos (guy from Ancient Aliens with the crazy hair) does and yell "ALIENS!" because let's face it, he tends to come up with the single most hilarious explanations to life's questions.
The fad was created by a meme that pictured two guys on a rollercoaster doing the pose and yelling "ALIENS!" to the people below, using the speed of the ride to mimic his crazy hairstyle, but alienating can be used to interrupt the conversations of random strangers when a question is asked as well, answering with the obvious reason "ALIENS"!
You are walking along when you notice two random people having a conversation and decide to mess with them since there are few consequences seeing as they are complete strangers.
Person A: "Yeah man, I don't even know where I could have left my keys."
Person B: "I don't get it dude, you are usually so organized with everything, but now you've been misplacing stuff all the time: your watch, wallet, phone, laptop, and now your keys?"
Person A: "I know, I know. I just don't understand why it keeps happening lately."
At this point, you decide to make your move and pick up speed to run past them to ensure a clean getaway so that you aren't left awkwardly standing there.
You (troll making the pose while running): "ALIENS!"
Person A: "...Okay...what's with that guy?"
Person B: "Aw crap, we just got 'alienated'! I have to admit though, he got us good haha."
Person A: "A new trend, huh? I'm gonna look up this Alienating thing so I can use it on people."
Get a Alienating mug for your mate Jerry.

MFAS Symposiums are intended as an alternative to the adversarial mode of dialectical debate that all too often leaves the participants none-the-wiser. Therefore, the aim of these Symposiums is to recover the ancient scholastic tradition of inviting teachers, experts, students and other interested parties to an appropriately conducive setting in order to collectively examine and reflect upon selected themes in a purposeful atmosphere of collaboration and convivial company. Each event is recorded on film and where appropriate the proceedings are issued as a combined package of audio-visual and written materials.
The Symposium as a recovery of the rhetorical tradition in practice
Rhetorical Competence, Collaborative Deliberation and Reflective Enquiry:
'Knowing Together'
"… associating rhetorical competence with the creation and preservation of a community's moral ecology is a commonplace of the rhetorical tradition…
"Beginning with the Sophists, training in rhetorical competence has had as one of its internal goals increasing people's chances of getting an equal hearing for their ideas such that they and their contributions might be recognised and respected as important to the sociopolitical workings of a community. Moreover, as Aristotle would have us understand in expanding on this point, the service provided to the community by its members' rhetorical competence extends beyond mere persuasion to include the development of judgment (krisis) and practical wisdom (phronesis). Rhetorical competence lends itself to collaborative deliberation and collective inquiry (including the self-deliberations of individual members)…
"In the rhetorical situation an audience is not set at a distance. Rather, it is acknowledged, engaged, and called into the space of practical concerns. By facilitating civic engagement, rhetorical competence helps sustain and enrich the knowledge of any public, and thus a community's own competence. Through the deliberative rationality of rhetorical practices, a community can recognise itself and judge whether to admit the epistemological and moral claims of those who are attempting to influence it. Hence, in its very functioning, rhetorical competence gives expression to the communal character of the self's existence and in so doing allows all concerned to 'know together' (con-scientia). For us as for the Greeks, maintaining the health of our communal existence requires nothing less."
"There is another art, however, in addition to rhetoric, that asks us to attend to the nature and importance of rhetorical competence… It is the art of understanding, or hermeneutics, an art that, as the philologist and founder of modern hermeneutic theory Friedrich Schleiermacher points out, "at once depends upon and presupposes composition," whether spoken or written. Here Schleiermacher associates the composition of a text with the art of presentation (rhetoric), an art that enables the author to explicate his subject matter so that it may be understood by others. Hence, […] every act of understanding is the reverse side of an act of speaking [or writing], and one must grasp the thinking that underlies a given statement."

Peer-to-Peer Mentoring: How to Set It Up
Read part one here: Peer-to-peer Mentoring: What is it?
In 2005, I was serving in a church where my lead pastor, Kevin, said to me: "If we were a factory that made cars, how would we make cars?" It went on for a couple of moments, and then he told me to think about church in the same way. "John, we are a factory that makes disciples. How do we do that?" He rocked my world with the question. All of a sudden, my mission and task became very clear.
Jesus called the 12 men around him disciples. These guys did life together. The word "disciple" means "one who is a learner or understudy." These guys were to be imitators of Jesus, and that's why we are called Christians, today. Peer-to-peer (P2P) mentoring is a lot like that. Mentors are students whose character, attitude, and actions should be imitated. We intentionally place them in groups where they can help guide their peers.
Here are three steps to setting up peer-to-peer mentoring in your area:
Understand the program. – The first step in setting up P2P is having a clear understanding of the program yourself. You will be the lead communicator for bringing this to your area, which means you are going to be telling a lot of people about it.
Seek counsel. – Before you begin anything new or add another thing to your plate, seek out the counsel and support of your spouse (if married), your church, and other leaders you are accountable to. Write down questions as they arise.
Bring it to school influencers. – After you have the support of those around you, take the conversation to principals and guidance counselors in your area. During the meeting with a principal, there are a few things you want to cover: You will need to let them know the mission of P2P, the time that it will require, the curriculum that you will use, and what content the curriculum covers.
With any program that involves a group of people, there are many moving parts. But no worries, I'm here to help coach you all the way through it. As an example, our P2P programs are 25 weeks long, directors meet with mentors for training, and then mentors meet with their mentee groups. We use the B.E.L.I.E.V.E. curriculum. It covers standards in character education, is built on the framework of human development (social/emotional, physical, intellect, etc.), and addresses topics like bullying, suicide, sexual abstinence, and drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.
There's more after that, but getting the ball rolling is the first major step to setting up a peer-to-peer mentoring program in your area. You can connect with me for more information if you are interested in setting up P2P mentoring at a school in your area. My email is john@lifethatcounts.com.

January 10, 1954 -- Chicago Mansions Disappearing as Suburbs Beckon
chuckmanchicago.wordpress.com
January 10, 1954 – The Chicago Daily Tribune features the ninth in a series of articles discussing "the origin, history, and significance of some of Chicago's principal thorofares." [Chicago Daily Tribune, January 9, 1945] This feature covers some of the mansions that once graced the wealthiest areas of the city, residences that are disappearing, victims of "The automobile age, which has dispersed the very wealthy on country estates in the suburbs, the substitution of gadgets and self-service for costly or unobtainable domestic help, and a change in social values [that] have made the Lake Shore dr. that was a relic of the past." Just in the preceding year two of the most impressive mansions on Lake Shore Drive have been lost to the wrecking ball – the home of Edith Rockefeller McCormick at 1000 Lake Shore Drive and the Potter Palmer "castle" a few blocks to the north. Also notable vanished relics are the home which Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd, lived at 1234 Lake Shore Drive and another at 1020 built by a lawyer and mining engineer by the name of William Borden. The article labels Astor Street, just to the west of Lake Shore Drive, as "the last fashionable residence street left within the city proper and singles out the residences at 1430 and 1365 as particularly noteworthy. The home at 1430 Astor was the home of Joseph T. Bowen who built a mansion with 40 rooms in 1891. The home of James Charnley, a lumberman, at 1365 Astor "is now taken for an early specimen of the style made world famous by Frank Lloyd Wright" with plans drawn by Adler and Sullivan. There also was a "millionaires' row" on South Michigan Avenue, starting at about Twenty-Sixth Street. Of the homes in this area the one designed for Ferdinand Wythe Peck by William LeBaron Jenney, was perhaps the most impressive. Also notable were the Charles W. Brega house at 2816 South Michigan, the mansion of John W. Gates at 2944, and the brownstone mansion of John Cudahy, the meat packer, at 3254. Ashland Avenue, named after the Lexington, Kentucky home of Henry Clay in 1859, also had its day as "the finest residence street of the west side." The Cudahy mansion on South Michigan Avenue is pictured in the black and white photo. The corner as it appears today is shown in the second photo.
January 10, 1965 – Shareholders of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific approve a merger with the Union Pacific Railroad by a margin of 8 to 1. This end-to-end merger would give the Union Pacific entry into the Chicago market, but the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad led a number of railroads that objected to the deal to such an extent that the government took ten years to make a decision on whether or not to allow the merger. During that crucial ten-year period the "Rock," a railroad that began in 1851 on trackage between Chicago and Joliet, hemorrhaged money … 1965 would be the last year the railroad would show a profit. Between 1965 and 1974, the road's management, hoping for the merger to be approved sooner rather than later, conserved cash by scrimping on track maintenance and locomotive servicing. Rolling stock began to look tired, and derailments occurred with increasing frequency. By the time the merger was approved in 1974 the railroad had deteriorated so much that Union Pacific ended up walking away from the deal. On January 24,1980, a federal judge announced his decision not to approve the railroad's plan for reorganization, and the last train on the line tied up in Denver on March 31,1980. In the above photo a "dead line" of Electro Motive Division E-8's waits for final disposition in 1981 after the shut-down of the railroad in the preceding year.
January 10, 1956 – Plans are announced for a $5,000,000 building program that will give the Armour Research Foundation at the Illinois Institute of Technology "one of the most complete industrial research centers in the world," according to foundation vice-president Dr. Haldon A. Leedy. The plans call for three new buildings on the I. I. T. campus with "extensive additions" made to two other buildings on the south side campus of the school. The buildings will include a physics and engineering research building, a chemistry research building, an administration building at 10 West Thirty-Fifth Street, a mechanical engineering research building and a metal research building. According to Leedy, "The building plans are based on the assumption that the foundation will have a research volume of $16,000,000 a year and a staff of 1,600 by 1961. [Chicago Daily Tribune, January 11, 1956] Leedy says that since the foundation was established in 1936, it has conducted 70 million dollars of research in more than 3,000 projects for industry and the government. The Richard D. Irwin Publishing Company building at 3201 South Michigan Avenue, pictured above, was the original home of the electrical engineering research labs when the Armour Research Foundation opened in 1936.
January 10, 1951 -- Claiming that he had "important architect-engineer projects involving the national defense" and, with a year still remaining in his tenure as the chairman of Chicago's Plan Commission, Nathaniel A. Owings submits his letter of resignation. The decision came 48 hours before a city council committee was to deliberate over a resolution demanding that the principal in Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill be forced to step down because of contracts the firm had obtained for the design of the 100-acre, 1,870-unit public housing site that came to be known as Lake Meadows.

I'm now a PADI-certified Divemaster and Assistant Instructor Candidate. "Divemaster" is a professional certification allowing me to lead certified divers on dives, instruct refresher courses, and assist in teaching Open Water Diver courses. I started the Divemaster program for two reasons: 1) to become a better diver and 2) be prepared to manage the challenges and risks of diving on film sets at which water scenes are being shot. I'm so happy with the results that I've immediately signed up to on to become a PADI Assistant Instructor.
In the near future, I hope to organize group dive trips to the Caribbean and elsewhere, as well as use my skills in film and tv, as the opportunity arises.


Probate is the process that transfers legal title of property from the estate of the person who has died (the "decedent") to his or her proper beneficiaries. The term "probate" refers to a "proving" of the existence of a valid Will, or determining who the legal heirs are if there is no Will.
The probate process also provides for the collection of any taxes due by reason of the deceased's death or on the transfer of his or her property. Additionally, it provides a mechanism for payment of outstanding debts owed by the decedent.


The other day I saw a friend post on Facebook that the Boston Marathon bombing was a "government conspiracy." Confused by (a) how that could have been a conspiracy and (b) why anyone would post something like that, I checked out his Facebook profile. Not surprisingly, everything is a conspiracy to this guy. Burger King and KFC are conspiracies. Television is a conspiracy. Gum is a conspiracy.
So when my buddy Brandon said he was writing a book on the "End Times," I was a little wary. After all, the "Left Behind" video game and the end-of-the-world blitz of 2012 was probably enough apocalyptic zaniness for a few decades.
As it turns out, this was just Brandon's point in his new book "And Then The End Will Come." Brandon talks about how we sometimes get so obsessed with the "ends" that we forget to live in the "means" as Christians. We get so pumped about End Times minutia that we forget to live as students of Jesus in the here-and-now.
I asked Brandon if I could share about his new book and ask him a few questions about it. After reading the interview below, I hope you'll be as psyched as I was to check the book out. You can get the book on Amazon in a variety of formats (paper, hardback, Kindle, etc) and stay in touch at Brandon's blog.
The book opens with talking about our culture's obsession with the "end times." Did you ever have a weird Christian phase where you got sucked into end-times conspiracy theories yourself?
I love conspiracy theories! And yes, I was neck deep in "End Times" conspiracies for about a decade of my life. I never missed a History Channel special that discussed Armageddon, Nostradamus, or the identity of the Anti-Christ! I'm not so sure that I was wrapped up in it for it's religious appeal, as much as I was just curious about anything esoteric. And that is where my book begins- and where I thought a great diving in point would be- with our natural tendency toward curiosity about the unknown. We are all curious at some level. We have a desire and hunger to "want to know." And that makes this book incredibly relatable to everyone.
Yeah, that hunger seems to have its pros and cons maybe? On one hand, it drives us toward the mysteries of God, and on the other, it drives us toward wanting to know Snookie's baby's middle name. How do you find the balance, or the right channels for that curiosity?
That is exactly the point I am driving at in the book. Engrained in each of us is a deep, innate sense of "wanting to know," of longing for something more. And you are right, this can be directed in healthy, life-giving ways or in ways that are shallow and less-than-life-giving. But you really get a sense from Jesus and his parables that a life defined by curiosity is a really good thing. In regards to finding "life" Jesus uses terms like asking, seeking, and knocking. He also uses parables about searching for treasure in a field and looking for a prized piece of jewelry in a jewelry store. So Jesus is all about the path of curiosity in pursuit of something greater, in this case the Kingdom of God or that which gives eternal life. The interesting thing is that even when his disciples' curiosity of the "End Times" was directed the wrong way, toward "when is this going to happen" and "how is this going to go down," Jesus didn't punish their curiosity. Instead, he lovingly and patiently re-framed and reoriented them toward who they (and we) should be right now in anticipation of what is to come. It is a beautiful thing. Hopefully I have done the same thing within my book.
Was there a specific moment that caused you to say, "I need to write this book…"? What was the importance for you- at this time- to write "And Then the End Will Come"?
Not to be too freaky, but I had a very bizarre dream about a year ago. It really affected me after I woke up because I never dream, and it was so real and vivid and spooky. Because of the political nature of the dream I didn't tell anyone about it. I was afraid people would try to use it for their own political agenda. And being that I am so apolitical, I just couldn't stand the thought of that happening. As a result, I just let it go. But about six months ago it came back to me again. And man, it just sat on me like an elephant. The burden of it would not leave me alone. So I reached out to an amazingly Spirit-led person who I really trust and respect, and who also interprets dreams, and gave her the low down and all the specifics. After a couple of weeks she wrote back to me. Her interpretation of my dream was completely opposite of what I expected… but it really pushed me in the direction I took with this book. Sorry to be so general and vague about the dream. I am not sure if it is the right time to share it.
Wow….I had no idea. So this isn't the first time that you've sensed God speaking to you in a big way. You shared a little about your "Nehemiah" story in your first book "Unearthed." Not to get too off topic, but…I'm a big believer in hearing directly from God. I think that's the idea behind of the Holy Spirit. Care to share any wisdom you've learned about how to process those times when you feel God speaking to you directly?
I am very reluctant to ascribe every single thing that happens in my life to "God speaking to me." That has been abused and mishandled in too many instances and has caused quite a bit of damage for Church and for Christianity, in general. I do believe, however, that God speaks in a variety of ways to a variety of people, if we are willing to listen. In my life, more times than not, I know God is speaking to me when it is completely opposite from what I want to do myself. And specific to the conversation we are having about my book and the "End Times," the last thing I wanted to do was write a book about this topic. But in a split second I went from not having any idea for a book to write to having the entire content of this book "downloaded" into my head chapter by chapter. It is a very strange, but amazing thing.
So how has your perception of the "end times" changed in recent years? It seems like your focus on it isn't less important, but just from a different angle?
It seems like there is sort of a shift with the younger, Millenial generation to not care about what happens in the future. Its seems that post-modern relativity and cynicism has sort of brought with it a relaxed attitude about Christ's return. This sort of, "I don't care what happens in the future, I know God is with me now" attitude. How can the iPod generation regain our sense of hope and mystery in the return of Christ?
There are million things to say, and a million directions we could go, specific to the topic of Millenials and the Church. But I want to focus specifically on the idea of narrative and how our lack of narrative within the Church has distanced a generation.
In my book I discuss how, in many ways, we in the Church have set our focus so much toward resolution, or the end of the story that we have neglected the middle part of the story. Or, that Jesus is good for us to "get to heaven," but he is of really little use, or of very little consequence, for us in our daily lives.
But here we are, right now, in the middle part of the story, living and breathing and thinking and contemplating… dealing with immense conflict all around us… and we want to know about TODAY.
So a narrative narrowly telling us that we have to endure the hell around us and wait for heaven one day for things to be right, seems irrelevant and pointless to many because it neglects today.
However, if our hope for the future is tied directly to our present identity and purpose, then that becomes incredibly relevant and life-giving right now. If we have our eyes set toward how things will be one day when God restores all things, then we can actually, presently begin to participate in that kind of life right now. And it looks like loving everyone and serving our fellow man and being those who bring peace around the world and those who work for reconciliation presently in all things. And people, especially the Millennials, are hungry for something with meaning and substance and purpose and life.
That kind of narrative embraces the middle two-thirds of the book we have neglected by focusing too specifically on the end. Being able to articulate and embody this will re-engage those who have dismissed Christianity as being out of touch with present reality. Younger generations are cynical and skeptical for a good reason- there isn't a lot of substance in our world. I believe that my book addresses this head on- Christians have to be a people of substance presently, even when the world seems to be coming apart at the hinges.
So I haven't read the end of the book yet, but I'm guessing it ends with "The Walking Dead" right? Some sort of zombie apocalypse anyway?
I admit that I watch The Walking Dead. And while there are a great many theological discussions that could arise from The Walking Dead, I would say that my book ends quite a bit differently than that show. In fact, my last chapter is the antithesis of The Walking Dead. It's more like The Walking Alive! It is a hope for the future that is not abandoned to death and decay, but one of resurrection, healing, and restoration. It is exquisite and beautiful. And I think people will be excited about, not just with how God is working to redeem things in the future, but how we can join and participate in that life and hope presently.

Talk more about Tolkien. Do it now. Your fans demand it.

The next time Tolkien does a gig in Bristol, I will certainly review it. In fact, I will travel as far Cheltenham Spa.
The non-snarky answer is that I'm still putting together the "everything I've written on the interwebs about the Inklings" book, which may very well have some new material in it. Though prolly more on Lewis than Tolkien.

Een pixel shader is een stuk programmacode dat geavanceerde kleuring in rasterizers (waaronder huidige videokaarten) mogelijk maakt. Dit stuk programmacode wordt voor elke pixel die er getekend wordt uitgevoerd en heeft tot taak om de kleur van die pixel te berekenen. Het is verwant aan de vertex shader, dat een stuk programmacode is dat voor elke vertex uitgevoerd wordt.

Pixel shaders worden al sinds jaar en dag in niet-realtimerendering gebruikt en zijn dan meestal een plugin voor 3D-pakketten zoals Maya en 3D Studio MAX, die gewoon in C of C++ geschreven kunnen worden. Ze worden immers uitgevoerd op de normale processor, dus alle functionaliteit van de processor is beschikbaar.

Sinds de DirectX 8 generatie videokaarten zijn pixel shaders ook voor realtimerendering beschikbaar. Er is op de videokaart een speciale programmeerbare processor aangebracht, die de pixel shader uitvoert. Deze processor heeft echter veel minder mogelijkheden dan een normale processor. Hij is specifiek toegespitst op het berekenen van de kleur van een pixel en heeft functionaliteit zoals het uitlezen van textures, de invalshoek van een lichtstraal berekenen (dp3) en de gebruikelijke rekenkundige instructies zoals optellen, aftrekken, vermenigvuldigen enz. De nieuwere versies, Shading Model 2.0 en Shading Model 3.0, hebben er steeds meer functionaliteit bijgekregen, zoals vertakking (wat programmalussen mogelijk maakt) en het uitlezen van textures met willekeurige coördinaten.

Pixel shaders kunnen geprogrammeerd worden in een assemblertaal, een taal die veel lijkt op hoe het in de hardware geïmplementeerd is. Moeilijk te programmeren, maar wel het meest efficiënt als je kijkt naar de performance. Een voorbeeld van een stukje pixel shader assembly:

ps_2_0

dcl_2d s0
dcl t0.xy

texld r1, t0, s0
mov oC0, r1

Pixel shaders kunnen ook geprogrammeerd worden in een taal van een hoger niveau, wat betekent dat je minder te maken hebt met hoe de hardware werkt en die voor mensen vaak duidelijker te lezen is. Een voorbeeld van zo'n taal is NVIDIA's Cg, (C for graphics). Een stukje Cg:

float4 brightLightMapDecal(float4 color : COLOR,
 float4 decalCoord : TEXCOORD0,
 float4 lightMapCoord : TEXCOORD1,
 uniform sampler2D decal,
 uniform sampler2D lightMap) : COLOR
{
 float4 d = tex2Dproj(decal, decalCoord);
 float4 lm = tex2Dproj(lightMap, lightMapCoord);
 return 2.0 * color * d * lm;
}

Learn about 'Bold Women in Indiana History'
Vivian Carter
Margaret Ringenberg
Louise Hillery
Did you know that a record company based in Gary, Indiana, was the first U.S. distributor of Beatles records? That same label also had such legendary artists as the Four Seasons, Jimmy Reed and John Lee Hooker. That company, Vee-Jay Records was owned by the husband/wife team of Vivian Carter and James C. Bracken.
I have the honor of reading a portion of Vivian Carter's story at a book release party for Louise Hillery's "Bold Women in Indiana History" on Sunday, April 3 at Hotel Indigo in Columbus, Indiana. The event starts at 7 p.m. Local authors will read a little about some of the women Hillery profiles in the book. Hillery's book will be available for purchase, as will books by other authors in attendance (yes, I will have my book there).
Hillery's book is part of a series by Mountain Press. This will be the fifth such book, with offerings also in Texas, Michigan, Colorado and Alaska. Among the women featured in the book are important women from the Miami tribe; Mother Theodora Guerin, frontier educator and Catholic saint; Lillian T. Fox, the first African-American to be employed at a mainstream Indiana newspaper; Madam C.J. Walker, the foremost black businesswoman of the early 20th century; Margaret Ringenberg, a pilot who flew in the U.S. Army's secret WASP program during World War II; and he woman I'm going to speak on, Vivian Carter, a radio deejay who ended up starting her own record company.
Stop by. Have a beverage. Learn something about Indiana's bold women. Support your local authors.

Juan Manuel Díaz (Rosario, 16 de mayo de 1974) es un diseñador argentino de automóviles.

Biografía
Juan Manuel Díaz empezó su carrera con un curso de diseño industrial de tres años en Argentina dictado por el reconocido diseñador López Arenas 1998, consiguiendo ingresar al prestigioso Istituto Europeo di Design, en Turín (Italia). Tras otros tres años de estudio, realizó una pasantía de tres meses en Renault, en la división de vehículos industriales. Luego pasó cuatro meses en Pininfarina donde obtuvo gran experiencia en el manejo de diseño de turismos y finalmente en el 2002 ingresó a Alfa Romeo, convocado por Wolfgang Egger, quien entonces era director de diseño de Alfa Romeo, a quien considera como uno de sus grandes maestros.

Se inició en Alfa Romeo en el departamento de Diseño de Interiores, donde estuvo a cargo del interior del deportivo Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, del que sólo se construyeron 500 unidades. Luego en el 2006 fue promovido al área de diseño exterior, donde firmó los diseños exteriores de los automóviles concepto Diva y Kamal, además de intervenir en los inicios del diseño del Alfa Romeo Giulietta
En 2006 presenta el Alfa Romeo Diva en el Concorso dEleganza Villa dEste, que obtiene el  premio, detrás del Alfa Romeo 8C spider.
Su propuesta de diseño para el Alfa Romeo MiTo fue seleccionada por Sergio Marchionne entre otras que se presentaron, en un concurso interno de la compañía. La capacidad de Díaz de sintetizar algunas de las mejores líneas del cupé Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione en el modelo más accesible de Alfa convencieron al directorio de llevarlo a la producción. Siendo un éxito rotundo.

Tras el lanzamiento del MiTo, Díaz asumió en enero del 2010 la responsabilidad de Advanced Design Fiat, donde se encargó de realizar propuestas, finalizar proyectos encaminados y competir de manera interna con las propuestas de diseño de otros departamentos del Grupo Fiat.

A finales de febrero del 2010 fue ascendido a responsable de diseño exterior de la marca, donde estará a cargo de los futuros diseños de la marca, junto al director de diseño de Alfa Romeo Marco Tencone. Hacia el segundo cuarto de 2010, Díaz rechaza la oferta de ser director de diseño de Alfa Romeo y, en septiembre de 2010, se une al grupo VW, con paso en Seat hasta septiembre de 2013, donde fue Team Leader bajo la dirección de Luk Donkerwolke, allí concibió el suv compacto Seat IBX mostrado como Concept en Ginebra de 2010, el derivado de este concept es el Seat Ateca que salió a la producción en 2016. Entre otros proyectos de los que participó para la marca española, fue líder en los inicios del nuevo Seat Ibiza, que estará en producción a fines del decenio actual
Desde septiembre de 2013 ocupa un cargo managerial en el estudio de diseño de Audi Ingolstatd, bajo la dirección de Wolfgang Egger hasta marzo de 2014 y actualmente bajo la dirección de Marc Lichte.Junto a un reducido grupo de diseñadores, el AUDI R8 spyder presentado en el salón de Nueva York en 2016 y actualmente en producción fue uno de sus últimos trabajos de autos de producción en ver la luz. Además fue líder del proyecto A1 de última generación y diseño para la marca de los cuatro anillos el Q2 Etron que la marca comercializa solo en China.
A partir de mayo de 2016 , el diseñador es mánager team leader del grupo de diseñadores encargados de llevar a cabo los proyectos de Audi Motorpsort, bajo la dirección de Dirk Van Braeckel, quien fue director de Bentley, cuya obra principal fue el Bentley Continental presentado a inicios de 2003.
En el año 2018 presentó el diseño del nuevo R8 Gt3 LMS,  vencedor de la competición de 24hs en el circuito de Nurburgring en 2019, y en 2019 presentó el diseño del Audi R8 GT2 LMS en el Festival of Speed en el circuito de Goodwood.En 2020 vio la luz el GT4 LMS, en 2021 el RS3 LMS que corre en la categoría TCR y se anunció el desarrollo de un vehículo especial con el que la marca pretende correr el Dakar en 2022, todos estos diseños llevan la firma del rosarino
