Death Wooed Us
Opening Mar 19, 2015 at 06:00 pm
In her most recent body of work, the Taiwanese-born, Stanford educated and San Francisco based photographer, Donna J. Wan has dedicated herself to exploring an often shuttered and taboo subject - the taking of one's own life.
Abstractly, the images call to mind the "spirit" photographs of the 19th century, not in the artifice of their technique, but in the spirit of their quest to recall the lost – and the losses suffered.
"Death wooed us" has already been recognized as a powerful and controversial statement. Formally exquisite, the emotional resonance of the work slowly reveals itself. The sublime views are positively reaffirming life.

Joseph Beuys multiples
The Reinhard Schlegel Collection
Large‐scale exhibition of Joseph Beuys multiples from the collection of Reinhard Schlegel. Consisting of over 500 works spanning from the early 1960s to his death in 1986 this exhibition is the most significant collection of Beuys multiples to be shown in New York to date.
The multiples carry a special significance in Beuys's oeuvre; he once said: "If you have all my multiples, then you have me completely." Connected to his ambition to affect social change through art, the multiples allowed Beuys an avenue to disseminate his ideas at greater range. Each multiple in the collection encapsulates a specific moment, performance or idea in Beuys's practice, and are laden with symbolic meaning. Capri Battery, for instance, is one of the last multiples Beuys created and connects a natural object (the lemon) with a pinnacle of human innovation (the light bulb), signifying ecological balance between man and nature.
The Exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated publication with an essay by Eugen Blume.

Piotr Uklański
Opening Mar 16, 2015 at 10:00 am
It is the first survey of this provocative Polish-born, New York-based artist's photography.
Known for working in a wide variety of media including installation, fiber art, resin paintings, and collage, Uklański (born 1968) invests overlooked and exhausted styles with new meanings—and similarly explores clichéd or obsolete photographic languages.
Nearly half of the works on display in the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition will be from The Joy of Photography (1997-2007), the artist's seminal yet under-known series.
Also on view will be the related installation, Fatal Attraction: Piotr Uklański Selects from the Met Collection, a lively "artist's choice" of works from 11 different curatorial departments at the Met and 60 works from the Department of Photographs.

Alibis: Sigmar Polke
End date Jul 05, 2015
Sigmar Polke (German, 1941–2010) was one of the most voraciously experimental artists of the twentieth century. This retrospective is the first to encompass the unusually broad range of mediums he worked with during his five-decade career, including painting, photography, film, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, television, performance, and stained glass, as well as his constant, highly innovative blurring of the boundaries between these mediums. Masquerading as many different artists—making cunning figurative paintings at one moment and abstract photographs the next—he always eluded easy categorization.
Beneath Polke's irreverent wit, promiscuous intelligence, and chance operations lay a deep skepticism of all authority—artistic, familial, religious, and governmental.
Polke scrutinized the malleability of vision. Highly attuned to the differences between appearance and reality, he was wary of the notion that there might be one universal truth.
"Alibis: Sigmar Polke" was shown in the MoMA, New York 19/4-3/8, 2014, in the Tate Modern, London 1/10, 2014-8/2, 2015.
The exhibition is made possible by a partnership with Volkswagen.

PSYCHOPROSA
In seiner Ausstellung PSYCHOPROSA setzt der österreichische Künstler Thomas Feuerstein (*1968 in Innsbruck, lebt in Wien) biochemische Prozesse als künstlerisches Ausdrucksmittel ein und schafft eine Installation im Grenzbereich zwischen Kunst und naturwissenschaftlicher Versuchsanordnung.
Er verwandelt die Räume der Galerie im Taxispalais in ein zusammenhängendes Ensemble aus Gewächshaus, Laborküche, Kühlraum und Fabrik. Schläuche verlaufen mäandernd durch die Ausstellung und verbinden Apparaturen und Objekte. Aus Algen und Pilzen wird mittels eines chemischen Prozesses ein synthetisches Halluzinogen gewonnen und zugleich ein zähfließender Schleim produziert. Dicke Fäden und Schlieren formen sich zu einer transparenten, liquiden Skulptur. Die psychotrope Wirkung der halluzinogenen Substanz, die feste Gegenstände in der Wahrnehmung zerfließen lässt, wird als realer Prozess gespiegelt, das Innen der Psyche und das Außen des polymeren Schleims beginnen sich zu überlagern.
Thomas Feuerstein arbeitet in unterschiedlichen Medien wie Skulptur und Installation, Grafik, Malerei, Fotografie und Netzkunst und stellt dabei vielschichtige Bezüge zu Biologie, Wissenschaftstheorie, Ökonomie und europäischer Kulturgeschichte her. Indem er das Faktische mit dem Fiktiven verschränkt, dekonstruiert er den Wahrheitsanspruch wissenschaftlicher Erklärungsmodelle und lässt neue Bedeutungszusammenhänge entstehen.

Fotomuseum Winterthur
Master of Modern Photography
This major retrospective presents the work of a critical figure in the history of modern art, American photographer and filmmaker Paul Strand (1890–1976), whose archive of nearly 4,000 prints stands as a cornerstone of the Museum's collection. Emphasizing the influential artist's most important projects from the 1910s through the 1960s, the exhibition surveys Strand's entire life's work, including his breakthrough trials in abstraction and candid street portraits, close-ups of natural and machine forms, and extended explorations of the American Southwest, Mexico, New England, France, Italy, Scotland, Egypt, Morocco, Ghana, and Romania.
This exhibition includes approximately 250 of Strand's finest prints, selected primarily from the Museum's holdings, with important early prints from public and private collections. The wide range of imagery highlights how Strand radically changed his work at several key moments in an effort to identify photography's pivotal role as a means of understanding and describing the modern world. The exhibition also features works by fellow artists from the Alfred Stieglitz circle (Georgia O'Keeffe, John Marin, and Arthur Dove), screenings of Strand's films, and a selection of archival materials.
Organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in collaboration with Fundación MAPFRE.
Made possible by the Terra Foundation for American Art

Structures of Existence: The Cells
Opening Feb 26, 2015 at 07:00 pm
"Space does not exist; it is just a metaphor for the structure of our existence." Louise Bourgeois
Among the most innovative and sophisticated sculptural works in her extensive OEuvre are the Cells, a series of architectural spaces that deal with a range of emotions. Created over a span of two decades, the Cell series presents individual microcosms: each Cell is an enclosure that separates the internal world from the external world. In these unique spaces, the artist composes found objects, clothes, fabric, furniture and distinctive sculptures into emotionally charged, theatrical sets.
As a new sculptural category, Louise Bourgeois's Cells "occupy a place somewhere between museum panoramic, theatrical staging, environment, installation, and sculpture, which, in this form and quantity, is without precedent in the history of art" (Julienne Lorz). The Haus der Kunst is pleased to present such an extraordinary body of work.

Deimantas Narkevičius
Maureen Paley is pleased to announce a solo project by Deimantas Narkevičius at the gallery that will present two films - The Role of a Lifetime (2003) and Into the Unknown (2009). Narkevičius' work examines and proposes interpretations of history and the passing of time within the context of a post-1989 Europe. Edited together footage from found, archival and original sources is often accompanied by soundtracks composed from interviews and appropriated material. By allowing multiple timelines and narratives to co-exist within individual works Narkevičius questions how personal and collective memories are constructed and how they resonate in the present.

Premières Photographies
En 1932, à l'âge de 24 ans, Henri-Cartier Bresson acquiert un Leica, un appareil de photo léger et maniable. L'appareil - devenu mythique grâce à lui - devient l'extension de son œil et ne le quittera plus. Il voyage, transporte son Leica partout, et observe le monde à travers lui. C'est ainsi que "l'œil du siècle", Henri Cartier-Bresson (Chanteloup-en-Brie 1908 – 2004 Monjustin), l'un des photographes les plus influents du 20e siècle, co-fondateur de la célèbre agence Magnum, a débuté sa carrière.
Apres s'être essayé au dessin et à la peinture, "la photographie lui permet de saisir ces instants du réel", le Leica représentant à ses yeux "l'instrument parfait pour le dessin accélère et l'exercice du regard sur la vie". Il photographie abondamment, d'abord en Côte d'Ivoire où il passe un an et dit y prendre ses premières images, puis, envoûté par le surréalisme, voyage en France, en Italie, en Espagne, au Maroc, au Mexique, puis à New York. En trois ans, il pose sa grammaire visuelle et crée l'une des Œuvres les plus originales et influentes de l'histoire de la photographie.

Z6B3R – Legion 63
by Sam Freissler | Sep 25, 2017 | Reviews | 0 comments
Artist: Z6B3R
Album: Legion 63
Released: September 15, 2017
Legion 63 by Z6B3R
The cryptically named Z6B3R is back with his first full-length album Legion 63. It's the follow-up to his debut EP Telestar 12, which came out two years ago. Listening to both releases back to back, one will notice the progression Z6B3R has made production-wise. The hard hitting beats and heavy basslines that appeared on Telestar 12 are also represented on this record, but Legion 63 comes with a much heavier and louder sound. On the opening track (which is also the title track of the record), Z6B3R pushes the stylistics of Synthwave to a level, where the music comes close to not being a usual piece music anymore, but rather an unstoppable, robotic and unnerving groove, which fits perfectly with the albums Terminator-inspired themes. It doesn't sound man-made. It doesn't sound beautiful. It's not there to please human ears. The machines have taken over. The following 2-minute-long track "Four" falls into the same category.
The rest of Legion 63 is more melody-driven, like one of my favorites of the album, the epic "2020", which is instantly followed by one of my other favs, "Impulse". Both are by far the most melodic tracks on the LP and the easiest to connect with on an emotional level. Both are placed at the centre, the heart of the album. After that, Z6B3R goes back to the beginning with more robotic and technology-driven sounds on "Saturn" and "Below". The album comes full circle when the closing track "Rise" starts with the ominous sounds of an approaching thunderstorm, before fading into another soul destroying and unstoppable groove. The loop closes. The machines have won.
Legion 63 is now available on Lazerdiscs Records.

Toaster was behind a kitchen fire in Norfolk home

A toaster is believed to have been behind a fire which broke out at a home in North Walsham.
Fire crews from Stalham and Aylsham were called to the incident in Cooper Road at 9.55am this morning (November 23).
Firefighters wore masks and used hoses to put out the blaze. No-one is believed to have been hurt in the fire.
A Norfolk Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "We had two appliances attending a kitchen fire. It was a toaster fire, I believe, at a private property. We were there from 10am until 10.41am."
Afterwards, crews used thermal image cameras to check the fire was completely out and positive pressure ventilation fans to clear the property of smoke.

Atom Araullo uses his pants as a floatation device in 'Red lert'
Be it in Palawan, Boracay, Puerto Galera, or wherever beach destination you're going to this summer, you can never be sure that you'll have a safe and accident-free vacation.

AUTHENTIC BRANDS, SPARC GROUP ACQUIRE EDDIE BAUER
by Stephen Garner May 07, 2021
Authentic Brands Group (ABG) and SPARC Group have come together to purchase Eddie Bauer from PSEB Group, an operating company owned by Golden Gate Capital.
Under the terms of the deal, ABG will own Eddie Bauer's intellectual property and the brand's core operating business will become a part of the SPARC portfolio of brands. Following the close of the transaction, SPARC's operating platform will include Eddie Bauer, Brooks Brothers, Lucky Brand, Nautica, Aéropostale, and Forever 21, which collectively generate nearly $8.6 billion in systemwide retail sales annually.
The transaction is expected to close by June 1, 2021. No financial terms were disclosed.
"Eddie Bauer has a 100-year history of unparalleled authority in the outdoor space," said Jamie Salter, founder, chairman, and CEO of ABG. "The global outdoor market opportunity has grown exponentially over the last year and we are ready to hit the ground running and guide this brand into new frontiers in partnership with SPARC, Damien, and the rest of the Eddie Bauer team."
After the acquisition is complete, Eddie Bauer will become part of the SPARC organization. Eddie Bauer will remain headquartered in the Seattle area under the leadership of current president Damien Huang. The Eddie Bauer team, in partnership with SPARC, will manage the brand's sourcing, product design and development, wholesale, planning and allocation, and e-commerce as well as its 300 stores, which are principally located in the U.S. and Canada. Eddie Bauer has a robust and growing e-commerce business, which drove nearly half of the brand's annual retail sales last year.
"The addition of Eddie Bauer introduces a new and highly-differentiated expertise to the SPARC organization," added Marc Miller, CEO of SPARC. "The brand pushes the boundaries of technical innovation and performance with award-winning outdoor product offerings, bringing an entirely new component to our fashion and lifestyle brand portfolio. We are excited to work closely with the Eddie Bauer team as we help drive the brand forward."
"As an iconic brand dedicated to making the outdoors more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, Eddie Bauer has built up great momentum," commented Huang.

This section provides a set of technical resources to guide you through the processes of creating, issuing and displaying Open Badges. The Specification provides technical documentation and code examples. These guides will build on those examples.
An Issuer Profile describing the individual or organization awarding badges. The information in the profile will appear in the metadata for all badges, including name, description, contact email address, and website URI. One Issuer profile is typically shared between all the badges an organization awards, though Issuers may choose to operate several Issuer profiles in order to serve specific audiences better. For example, a complex issuing organization like a university may choose to allow individual departments or staff to define their own issuing profiles so badges appear as awarded by a specific program or professor. Read more about the required and optional properties of the Issuer profile ».
A BadgeClass, the formal description of a single achievement the Issuer recognizes. This includes information such as the name, description, and of course the graphic image that's the visual face of the badge, but also links to detailed criteria for how the badge may be earned and the Issuer profile that created it. A human readable criteria page and an image file visually symbolizing the accomplishment must be published at a stable URLs. Optionally, badges may be organized by tags or alignments to educational standards, and if included, that information appears in the BadgeClass. Read more about the required and optional properties of the BadgeClass ».
An Assertion, the record of an individual's achievement of the badge. The Assertion links to one BadgeClass and contains the information specific to one Recipient's achievement of the badge's criteria, like the date it was awarded, the encoded Recipient identifier it was awarded to, and optionally a link to evidence and an expiration date. An Assertion is the entry point for badge verification, and it may be delivered either as a hosted object with an accessible URL alongside the BadgeClass and Issuer profile resources, or as a cryptographically signed document given to the Recipient in order to distribute to relevant Consumers. A single BadgeClass may be awarded to many different individuals by creating an Assertion for each Recipient. Read more about the required and optional properties of the Assertion » A single Open Badge (sometimes called a "badge instance") consists of a unique set of one each of an Issuer, BadgeClass and an Assertion, though the Issuer and BadgeClass are often shared across many Badge Instances. When each resource has been created, the Assertion may be "baked" into a copy of the badge image, and the badge may be delivered to the Recipient and stored anywhere that can keep image files. Open Badges are typically stored in Recipients' accounts at Open Badges backpack services, from which Recipients may share them with Consumers whenever the verifiable badges are relevant.
Some consequential updates to this structure are coming with the next version of the Specification, particularly enabling embedding of complete BadgeClass and Issuer Profile documents into an Assertion (and into baked badges). See current issues in progress for details.
The techniques described here work for building one or two complete badges, but when you want to scale up to offering hundreds, you can embed these practices into code or start working with a hosted platform or web application software to handle creating badges.
New Issuers: Give Yourself a Badge - This tutorial includes step-by-step instructions to create a badge, award it, bake it, then upload it into a backpack.
Issuers deliver a Recipient baked Open Badge images, which she stores in a Backpack or other displayer, which verifies the content and display verified metadata to many Consumers who are interested in her accomplishments.
Publish the Issuer Profile and BadgeClass, start assessing students' achievement, and awarding the badge to individual Recipients.
Send the awarded badges to Recipients by email, following the instructions in the program's chosen issuing software.
Other system designs for programs offering badges may involve students applying for badges by submitting evidence and program staff reviewing applications. Badge systems may integrate with online learning environments and award some badges automatically as a result of interactions that meet defined criteria. But, however badge systems are designed, if the Issuer uses Open Badges, students can combine the badges they've earned into collections together with all the Open Badges they've earned in other parts of their lifelong learning journeys.
You can design a badge issuing flow to suit your organization and community of badge Recipients. The Open Badges tools and Specifications support the creation, validation, publication, assessment, issuing, and display of badges.
Issuer has already defined and hosted an Issuer Profile and at least one BadgeClass.
Issuer creates and hosts (or cryptographically signs) a badge Assertion.
Issuer delivers the badge to the Recipient, either as a baked image file or by offering to push the Recipient's badge to his/her backpack account. The Mozilla Backpack Issuer API will bake the image automatically for the Recipient. Other backpack platforms' capabilities vary. See open source bakery software in Tools and Code ».
From within the backpack, the Recipient decides whether to make the badge part of a public collection or page.
Many badge Recipients use the Mozilla Backpack to store their badges, which features a Displayer API to integrate with external applications who may query the Recipient's backpack account for badge Assertion info and other options for Recipients to share their badges with Consumers like employers, college admissions offices, managers, and peers.
Sharing, embedding, and display options vary slightly for users of different backpack platforms.
Displayers can only query for badges the Recipient has chosen to make public.
Identity can be verified by Consumers, as can signatures where appropriate.
Images should be PNGs (or SVGs).
Images should be square and not exceed 256kb for maximum compatibility. They should have dimensions not smaller than 90 x 90px. View badge images at small sizes to ensure that the content remains legible when scaled.
An image must exist for the BadgeClass.
Additionally, baked images may be linked from Assertions via URL to the image on the Issuer server, stored within the metadata if you opt to bake badges locally.
BadgeClass images may be published as Data URIs embedded in the BadgeClass definition itself, but baked Assertion images may not (because it's a circular reference).
Badge Assertions may be revoked if the Issuer determines they were issued in error or no longer should be valid. For a hosted Assertion, revocation entails replacing the Assertion with a note declaring the reason for revocation. For signed Assertions, Issuers may create a revocation list with keys for each of the UIDs they wish to revoke. A revocation list is a single JSON document for the entire issuer.
See notes on revocation in the Open Badges Specification for more information.
Declare your support for Open Badges with Issuer insignia for your website. Show the world your badges align with the Open Badges and that they should expect the full range of Open Badges features when they see badges referenced on your site.
Verification is the process of ensuring that a badge meets the requirements of the Open Badges Specification. Although as an Issuer you may not be displaying earned badges, proper implementation of the Open Badges Specification allows those who seek to understand badges to justify placing trust in these records through strong verification.
The identity section of a badge Assertion includes the Recipient's email address, a hash of the Recipient's email address, or a salted hash of the Recipient's email address. A Displayer can compare this value to the expected email(s) of the Recipient claiming the badge to establish authenticity. This facilitates verification, while preventing the need to store the earner's email explicitly within the badge Assertion, providing protection against routine forms of unauthorized access.
For signed Assertions, validators use the public key to carry out a verification check. Issuers can also revoke signed badges, in which case a revocation list is created, including the UIDs for revoked badges - Displayers can check this list in case a badge has been revoked. See Revoking Issued Signed Badges.
To determine the credibility of an Open Badge, Consumers can inspect and validate the badge with an Open Badges validator tool, often one built into the display platform where they see a badge, to determine whether it's valid, and that it belongs to the expected Recipient.
Validation that the badge is awarded to the expected email address of the Recipient: Badge verification tools can inform a Consumer whether a badge matches an expected Recipient, but it's up to the Consumer to determine that the expected email address belongs to the person presenting the badge to them.
Validation of expiration: Open Badges may have expiration dates, allowing organizations to issue badges for skills or authorizations which are only valid for a set period of time. Validators will check that a badge hasn't expired.
Validation of Structural validity: Badge metadata should be properly structured according to the Open Badges Specification, including relationships between components to detect integrity problems that may indicate foul play.
Validation of Issuer identity: Open Badges contain profile information about the Issuer who awarded the credential, including contact information if additional questions arise. Good validators make it easy for Consumers to see the relevant information about the Issuer profile and the issuing platform, software, or service used by the Issuer.
Validation of cryptographic integrity: For badges containing cryptographic signatures, these signatures are validated and information is displayed about the provided public key and relationship to the Issuer profile.
Read more about validation in the Open Badges Specification.
Mozilla Open Badges Validator - This software is available open source here.
BadgeCheck - BadgeCheck also allows you to check the recipient of badge.
Badges are meant to be shared. Through the process of badge Recipients sharing information about their achievements with selected Consumers, those Recipients can turn their badges into new opportunities, promotions, informal recognition, and other forms of value in their work and recreational relationships. Badge Displayers create opportunities for Recipients to share the badges they've earned. With the Recipient's email address, the Displayer can retrieve badges the Recipient's been awarded and chosen to make public. How the Displayer processes a badge is determined by how it was retrieved and what form its Assertion takes. The Displayer can parse the data associated with each badge, verify it for authenticity, and display it in websites, applications, or social media posts. The displaying of badges can benefit and connect Recipients and Consumers. For example, a Recipient's badges can signal achievement to a potential employer, which may be seeking an individual with the credentials and skills displayed by the Recipients.
Seek help from our developer community.
Displayer capability from different backpacks varies per application.
Mozilla Backpack - Recipients upload badges, create groups of related badges, then share them through websites, blogs, and social media sites. The Mozilla Backpack is also available as open source software. Users can share their badges by including them in collections and sharing via URL.
Badgr - Badgr provides Open Badges issuing and earner badge management all from one account. Free accounts are available on badgr.io, and the software is also available open source for users who wish to run their own server. With Badgr, users may upload badges they have earned via multiple confirmed email addresses and share them by making collections. All of these functions are available to connected applications who authenticate with recipient credentials.
Open Badge Passport - Badges issued from Open Badges Factory are automatically transferred into Open Badge Passport if the Recipient's email address used for issuing the badge was saved to the Recipient's Open Badge Passport account setting. Other badges can be uploaded as files from a computer or imported from a Mozilla Backpack. The application backing OBP is available open source as Salava by Discendum. Users can share their badges by building pages that include badges, text, and portfolio items.


A new film commemorates 'one of Chichester's heroes' 200 years after he served as city mayor.
Sir George Murray was hugely respected in the city where he is remembered for his association with what later became the Ship Hotel.
But it was on the wider stage that he found his true place in history, as one of Nelson's closest friends and confidantes.
In fact, but for the death of a his father-in-law, the chances are that Murray would have been standing next to Horatio Nelson on that fateful day at the Battle of Trafalgar.
A popular naval saying still recalls the trust Nelson placed in Murray. "Murray or none" still means "no one else will do" in naval circles. The phrase was first spoken by Nelson himself – testament to his faith in his Chichester friend.
The film was made by Clive Hand after Richard approached Chichester Film and Video Makers. The 17-minute movie, entitled My Dear Murray, has already been shown in the Chichester by the city's Murray Club.
The film has been released to coincide with a new edition of My Dear Murray, Barry Aldridge's biography of the man. The biography provides the basis for the film.
The 200th anniversary of Murray's mayoralty, combined with the 250th anniversary of the commissioning of HMS Victory on which Murray served, provided the perfect spur to bring Murray back to Chichester's attention.
For this and plenty of other reasons Richard was keen that Chichester should mark him: "Here was a Chichester man, born in Chichester and died in Chichester, a very brave man who was one of Chichester's heroes.
The film includes some re-enactment and also includes some scenes shot on board HMS Victory, featuring Philip Robinson as Sir George and 12-year-old Ollie Martin as a young George at the age he joined the navy as a midshipman.
The film comes as part of an intended programme of events which will include exhibitions in the summer and also a model-ship re-enactment of the Battle of Trafalgar on Chichester Canal, probably at the beginning of August.
Richard is delighted with film which sets the ball rolling – a film which cost a mere £365 to produce: £300 to film on the Victory and £65 for the costumes.
The DVD and the reissued My Dear Murray biography are available from the City Council offices in North Street; the book is available from Kim's bookshop in South Street.

Q: Is there a number prefix like '0' or '0x' for base 10? I just wrote a script which parses numbers of a defined length, which often include leading 0s
Of course, if I don't remove those 0s, they are interpreted as a prefix meaning my number is written in octal, which isn't handy at all (and already caused me troubles, in other contexts).
i.e.  011 is read as "9" in decimal
For that reason, I was wondering whether such a prefix exists, and in which languages.
Seems to me that "obviousness" led to incompletness.
I thought prefixing numbers with a "d" would make them read as base 10, but it doesn't seem to be the case in bash. (Maybe in C or Java ?)
Octal and hexadecimal prefixes work about everywhere, and thinking about it, I'm quite surprised such a prefix doesn't seem to exist for decimal number.
Is that a fact, or do I ignore an easy way of avoiding such parsing problems ?

Q: Using environment variable in create-react-app package.json proxy I would like to set the "proxy"-property in the package.json file of a create-react-app project to the value of an environment variable called "REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL". The variable is stored in the .env.development.local file. I can't find the right way to do this. What is the right notation to access the variable? Each way I tried ended in the following error, when starting the app with npm start:
When "proxy" is specified in package.json it must start with either http:// or https://

This error probably occurred because the value isn't accessed correct.

A: If you specify in your .env.development.local:
REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL=[your url]

you can use source .env.development.local to store the value and then use it using $REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL.
For example in your package.json you could do this:
"scripts": {
   "deploy": "react-scripts build; source .env; ./scripts/deploy.sh $REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL"
}

Heathcote Pursuit	Australian Actresses, Sylvia Breamer	 December 23, 2018 June 15, 2019 2 Minutes
Enlargement of a photo of Sylvia Bremer, from Witzel Studios, Los Angeles. c 1918. Author's Collection.
Of course, Sylvia Bremer is not a forgotten Australian at all, I just wanted an excuse to include this photo from my collection! Ralph Marsden's biography Who was Sylvia? was published in 2016 – making use of hitherto unseen private photos of Bremer – and including a great deal of painstaking new research. Copies are available from bookshops – also Amazon and ebay.
Bremer was born into a comfortable family home in Double Bay, a harbour-side suburb of Sydney, in June 1897. Following several years of stage work in Australia, in 1916 she travelled to the US with her first husband and there she stayed – her first film for Thomas H. Ince was The Pinch Hitter, released in 1917. But as Ralph Marsden recounts, her story was not a happy one at all. Her career in film did not last – it was over well before the coming of sound in 1927 (she made over 40 films in just ten years). She was active on stage from 1926 -1930, her performances with the Bainbridge Players in Minneapolis in late 1930 appear to be her last, except for a small role in the 1936 talkie Too Many Parents, a Paramount kid picture with Billy Lee and Frances Farmer. Possibly her widely published criticisms of the shallowness of work and life in Hollywood had not endeared her to key figures in the industry – including the powerful film producers who otherwise might have employed her.
https://forgottenaustralianactresses.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/Sylvia-Breamer5.wav
Here is part of Sylvia Breamer's only scene in "Too Many Parents"(1936), as the mother of the insufferable Billy Miller (Billy Lee). Twenty years after arriving in the US, her accent is an English one. Copyright held by Universal films.
She married three times, but each relationship ended acrimoniously or abruptly. There were no children from any of the marriages.
Below: A postcard of Bremer, produced about 1920. Ironically, it appears to have been printed in Germany. Author's Collection
This author can claim some small contribution to the unusually accurate Wikipedia article on her – I found and added her interview with Julian Johnson for Photoplay magazine in 1918. In this interview she tied herself in knots to emphasize (or exaggerate) her British naval connections. Her father was not a battle-ship captain as she claimed, but a hard working public servant. She was obviously sensitive to accusations of German ancestry, as only a year before, she had changed the spelling of her surname from Bremer to Breamer, apparently to make her sound less German in the midst of war.
She died in New York aged only 45, in 1943. Perhaps one of the most moving photos in Marsden's book is a grainy photo of Sylvia and her sister on the streets of New York, taken shortly before she died. Her passing appears to have gone unnoticed in Australia. Her mother, step father, sister and brother all moved to the US. For a time, her brother Jack worked as a cinematographer.

FREDDIE Ladapo has capped a wonderful October, in which he scored six times and laid on another two for team-mates, by scooping the Sky Bet League One player of the month award.
"It's a very big deal for me," said Freddie. "This is probably the first proper award that I have actually received, it's probably one of the best moments I've had so far.
"It's a fantastic month for me. Obviously, it took a while to start off at a new club – I just signed this summer – but the players, the fans, the management, they've made it easy for me to settle in.
It had been a tough start to life at Argyle for the striker, especially after missing some gilt-edged chances in the midweek 1-1 draw at Barnsley on October 2.
Freddie's first goal of the month came in our first League win against Wimbledon on the following weekend at Home Park, when he headed home from no more than a yard out to give us a vital 1-0 victory. A goal, which he says, was a relief to get.
Back at the Theatre of Greens, two weeks later, Freddie started from where he left off against Burton Albion. Despite losing that game, he says he has been waiting a long time to score a goal like the one he notched to open the scoring in that fixture.
Freddie would score again against the Brewers, rounding the keeper to tap into an empty net to put us ahead again. Despite losing that game 3-2, Freddie was the talking point in the next home match against Gillingham just three days later.
A thunderous right-footed shot gave us the lead and a cushioned header 10 minutes before half-time put us two up. In the second half, he turned provider for Ruben Lameiras. Then one more goal was to follow on the 27th of the month away to Scunthorpe in a very convincing 4-1 win, in which, Freddie opened the scoring.
"We go into games more confident now," he said. "The team chemistry and the banter is good, it's more like a family. We've always been working for things to go in the right direction; these results have showed that we have turned a corner.

5 Thousand Rockets Launched at Once for World Record Attempt
Fatima Sheikh 2 years ago No Comments
Today, the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama launched 5000 rockets simultaneously to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. It was like an attempt to remember the time when the US was able to record history by sending people on the Moon.
One of the officials of US Space and Rocket Center, Randall Robinson, told Inside Edition that they use to work in the rocket city known as Hostel. They design engines, work on the propulsion, and design all those things that are needed to send the rockets into space.
So, they decided to break the world record for launching the most rockets simultaneously on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo mission.
They spent years in planning for this day. More than 100 volunteers were part of this mission who assembled real rockets for the mission.
They were very small in size about 14.5-15 inches long. Their weight was less than an ounce and half. Each rocket was equipped with a motor for propulsion.
More than 2500 people witnessed the new world record of launching 5000 rockets at a time. They included astronauts, NASA engineers, and hundreds of kids who got enrolled in the youth camp of the center.
End-note:
The center has submitted all of its record-breaking evidence to be added in the Guinness book of world record. The mission of this launch was to encourage potential space travelers for their upcoming missions by showing them that dreams could be achieved. This would encourage them to be part of future record-breaking missions like being the first person on Mars.

Pretty solid year-end view of our fake president in action.
This Black man was on the phone in a hotel lobby — so, staff called the police!
❝ A guest at a Portland hotel is alleging he was harassed by staff when he was asked to leave the property after taking a phone call in the hotel lobby late Saturday night.
Washington state resident Jermaine Massey was in the lobby of the Portland DoubleTree when a security guard informed him that police were on their way to escort him off the property.
❝ In a series of Instagram videos of the incident recorded by Massey and obtained by CNN, he is heard asking the guard, "But why? But I'm staying here." "Not anymore," the security guard replies…
❝ DoubleTree General Manager Paul Peralta issued a statement about the incident Wednesday, calling it, "unfortunate"…Massey accused the guard of "harassing" him, and in a statement provided to CNN by his attorneys, characterized the incident as "calling his mother while black."
Every now and then I say to myself, "Self! I don't believe there is any new and original way Americans might illustrate the racism so deeply rooted in this society? And, then, I am proven wrong."

Well, since there's no way we can really answer that question, how about another one?
What WAS the worst NBA draft ever?
At least state any reasons for why you think so. I mean, don't tell me you have no further opinions, conclusions nor reasons than "Hell yeah".
Try contributing, not posting the first fart that came out of your head.
Randy Foye and Brandon Roy are going to be superstars.
Adam Morrison won't be the next Larry Bird, but he should be better than Wally Z.
If Aldridge can add a little bit more muscle and refine his offensive game, he could be a very good power forward or center in this league.
If Rudy Gay gets with a team with a great motivator as head coach, he could be a really good player.
Tyrus Thomas could be a star if he works hard on his game and improves his perimeter shot, strength, and post game. He has come a long way in his basketball career. He should develop those skills in college, but he has a chance to develop in the NBA. I hope he does.
Shelden Williams is going to be a very effective player. His career should be very much like Emeka Okafor's, without all the injuries though.
Guys like Shannon Brown, Maurice Ager, Rodney Carney, Patrick O'Bryant and others have a lot of potential to be very good players.
I'm not as down on the talent in this draft as other people are. It may take a little bit more time for these players to come into their own as compared to previous classes with players who are a little more ready to be stars right away.
2001 was pretty crappy...i think that ranks #1 as the worst draft ever.
2000 is also pretty crappy...so 2000, or 2001 take your pick.
It's a bad draft but it doesn't come near the atrocity that was the 2000 draft (see above post).

Following up on our CAGED system for the guitar video, I am pleased to announce a new video exploring the CAGED system and major scales. This video deals with the second part of using the CAGED system, building a scale on top of a CAGED pattern. It does not cover the first part of the system, finding the location of CAGED patterns.
This entry was posted on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 at 7:26 pm	and is filed under CAGED. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
The C chaged shape is the first major scale shape, right? If i start the scale on a g root ( 6th string), it is a g major chord? How can one learn what chords are within this shape? Can one use the scale trainer to do this? Also, what minor or major pentatonic scales can you play at a c shaped major scale? Is it the c minor pentatonic and __ major?
What is the best way to intergrate the major scale with the pentatonic scales and chords.
Yes, the C shape is the first major scale shape. When you say start the scale on a g root, do you mean start the C major scale on the note "G"? In that case you would be playing the G Mixolydian mode.
The CAGED system is usually approached as a relationship between one chord and one scale, which is the beauty of the system. Although there are of course other chords contained within the scales, they're usually thought of in regards to their own pattern.
In Super Scale Trainer I would choose the follow CAGED mode and concentrate on one CAGED shape at a time. I would select the major, major pentaonic, major 7 arpeggio, etc. and get used to the similarities and differences between those. Then I would move on to the Aeolian mode (Natural Minor), minor pentatnoic, and minor 7 arpeggios. Again staying within one CAGED shape but in various places on the neck.
Thank you. I will try your suggestion and i am sure i will have more quetions.
How do I use any combination of the games to help me learn the g minor pentatonic scale across the fret boad with all the appropriate chords also. That is, I know the scales fairly well, but I have problems knowing the right chords and where they are. I would like to use the games to set up a practice series with the games.

Q: Excel 2010 how can I calculate percentile of numbers in a column only if there is a specified number in a different column Please forgive me but I'm at best a good intermediate excel user.  I'm trying to calculate call time data for fire department responses organized by station number.
column c is station number and column L is the times.  I need to calculate 0.9 percentile of column L only if column C is 27.
I know it's a nested formula starting with =PERCENTILE( but from there that is where I can't seem to find the right path.  I have tried if, ifs, countif, vlookup and a few others.  can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks all.
Mike

A: You'll have to do an array formula =PERCENTILE.INC(IF(C:C=2,l:l),0.9) and then hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTR to enter the formula

A: If you want the percentile for the line that you are working on, simply change C=2 to c=c2.  I'm assuming that you are working in row 2.  This will change the percentile answers to be relevant to the station in that row.
In other words, lets say column M is your 'Percentile' column.  In M2, you input the array formula
      =PERCENTILE.INC(IF(C:C=C2,L:L),0.9)

Then, as you copy down the column, it will give you the percentile information for the station number in that row.  For example, say 27 is in row 2.  M2 gives percentile information for station 27.  Say 111 is in row 3.  M3 gives information on station 111.  Make sense?

Crossing the beauty in a rush
Ischia DREAM RUN / ON OCTOBER 25
Running makes me feel baby, the child runs when he is happy, I'm running and I'm happy. Many people ask me why I run without music, I prefer to listen to my body and the feelings I feel running. I prefer to have no distractions, to find the place I walk, living it as protagonist and not as a spectator. I listen to silences, sounds and noises like those of a city that slowly awakes at dawn smelling the smells, such as grass wet after a rain or the aroma of coffee coming out of the house early in the morning.
Every time I am traveling, I bring with me the shoes and usually early in the morning I like to discover or rediscover the place where I am, just running.
After the first youth running, for a long time, in the last years of high school and university, I abandoned sport, and then in 2003 I began to run again to regain a state of form and well-being that in time I was starting to lose. I wanted to continue to feel me young and efficient, and then I began to participate in races of 10 km also to have a goal: to run without purpose did not give me the sufficient motivation to engage with perseverance. In 2004, I sped my first half marathon, from then on in 2007, I sped my first complete marathon, that one of the "Eternal City", the Rome marathon and for me it was a great success, closing it in 2 hours and 58 minutes. From then to now I ran 17. All races have left me so many feelings and emotions that I feel fueling the enthusiasm and the desire to program the next race, where surely there will be new sensations and new emotions to live!
In this spirit, I am committed, after the last edition held in 2001, to co-organize with Neil MacLeod the return of jogging around the island of Ischia. It will take place on October 25: there are 30 km to race along the roads bordering the green island, with breathtaking views of the sea and hills, vineyards and beaches. The "Ischia Dream Run" (this is the name of the race) will start at nine from the square of Soccorso in Forio and athletes, after running around the island going from the slope of Serrara Fontana, will return to the starting point. The toughest stretch, the climb of about 9 km to the brow in Fontana will be braved immediately: they will have to manage their forces down to Ischia Porto to find themselves in front of the steep of Montevico and to Cavallaro. The dream will be fulfilled at the finish line, in front of the magnificent Church of Soccorso, in a marvelous scenery. At a time in history when the road racing has become mass sport, and sees every tourist and every citizen to link their name to a competition, from the famous New York Marathon to the small Italian town of the province, also our island can go back to having a role of prestige in the national and international jogging.

EU calls for reforms to World Trade Organization
Home /European Union, Projects/EU calls for reforms to World Trade Organization
The European Commission is seeking a comprehensive modernization of the World Trade Organization (WTO), according to an official statement on Tuesday.
The commission said its reform plan covers three fundamental principles: updating the rulebook on international trade for today's global economy, strengthening the WTO's monitoring role, and overcoming an imminent deadlock on the WTO dispute settlement system.
"The multilateral trading system has for the past decades provided a stable, predictable and effective framework for companies across the world, helping many economies to grow rapidly," Cecilia Malmstrom, trade commissioner, said in a statement.
"Also today, the WTO is indispensable in ensuring open, fair and rules-based trade," Malmstrom said.
"But despite its success, the WTO has not been able to adapt sufficiently to the rapidly changing global economy," she added, saying that as the world has changed the WTO has not.
"It's high time to act to make the system able to address challenges of the today's global economy and work for everyone again," she said. "And the EU must take a lead role in that."
According to the official statement, the EU will continue discussing these first ideas with various WTO partners in the coming weeks with a view to preparing concrete proposals to the global trade body.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to take anything away from the the aforementioned group above. They deserve the accolades and the success. They bought into an established path academically and will presumably reap the appropriate rewards professionally. They have demonstrated their dedication and are entering career paths that statistically bode well for them. Outside of the possible debt, they will incur, I have little doubt about their future success.
But again, what about their peers? What about the 85% - 90+% of the rest of the students? What is their future pathway or success? And how could we celebrate it?
* Of the half of that graduate from a four-year university, only about half will find careers in areas that required their level of college education. They will essentially be underemployed or part of the new Gray Economy (Video: Success In The New Economy).
What will happen to those that didn't go on to college or graduate from college? The truth is a litany of things that can be cast as a negative outlook.
* Some will go to community college and complete a certificate or technical degree and get one of the good jobs in our economy (7 of the 10 jobs in our economy are connected to this level of education). But not nearly enough of them.
* Some will find success in the military, family businesses or other avenues. But not nearly enough of them.
* Some could be part of the future where 40% of our workforce will made up independent contractors and entrepreneurs. However, most won't be prepared skill-wise for that as their school and our educational system does not have a pathway for this.
The problem is that we have put them through a singular high school pathway and told them all to go to college. We have not focused on skill development or appropriate success pathways for all.
In the end, many will be lost, frustrated, direction-less. Many will face insurmountable employment challenges and skyrocketing higher education costs - especially in the new global economy.
So, again, I'm proud of the top 10%-12% and what they've accomplished and where they are going. But what about the rest? What could we have done or what can we do going forward?
We need to create pathways, systems and mindsets where all of our students are part of successful educational and career pathways, not just the top 10%. Now, more than the 10% above will be successful, but we don't know about it or celebrate them.
That's right. We need to have celebrations and recognition for the Top 50 Entrepreneurs, Top 50 Creative and Innovative, Top 50 Designers, Top 50 Problems Solvers, Top 50 Technologists, Top 50 Builders, etc. You get the idea. We need to create unique, but equally recognized pathways for all students.
We need to examine the future of work and match our curriculum and pathways appropriately. For example, if 40% of future work is independent or contract work, should we offer Entrepreneurial pathways at all of our high schools?
If 7 of 10 jobs in our economy are matched to two-year career and technical degrees and programs, why are not 7 of our 10 high schools classes aligned or correlated that way? Instead we have the AP pathway for the top 10% and sometimes CTE pathways for another 10%. What about the other 80%? Where is their pathway to success?
There is nothing wrong with celebrating success. We need to do it for all that we can. Our top 10% in the traditional academic wing of our schools are our most successful. But they are the most successful based on a singular pathway or program. It works for them and we work for them. But our economy or society cannot survive if we don't create equally successful, as well as celebrated and regarded, pathways for all.
Whether we call it Career Technical Education, Career Pathways, Academies, Small Learning Communities or dozens of other names, it doesn't matter. Our system has been too narrow and is failing too many. We may not have a more important national challenge. I hope we heed the call.

Home buyers and sellers have a lot to lose from hiring the wrong agent: a timely sale, a shot at a dream home, a pleasant transaction.
But how do you know if you've hired the right real estate agent for your needs?
Whether you're on the hunt for an agent or wondering if you need to hire a replacement, keep these five pointers in mind.
Choosing the right real estate agent can lead to a pleasant transaction.
First of all, how much effort did you put into the hiring process? Did you settle on the first name in the phone book? Did you pick the guy with the largest billboard in town?
Or did you take the more difficult (and effective) route? Did you get recommendations from others? Did you look at your agent's website? Did you check out your agent's current listings?
As consumer advocates often say, "You get what you pay for." A similar theorem applies to the hiring of a professional. Clients who perform their due diligence are often rewarded with a quality service provider.
Did you interview your agent before hiring?
Even if you've heard great things about a particular agent, make sure to conduct an interview before signing an agreement. It doesn't need to be an extremely formal interview, but you should at least gain a sense of an agent's work ethic and personality before agreeing to work together.
Make sure to read the agency agreement before signing.
Did you review your agreement before signing?
Whether you're buying or selling, most agents will ask you to sign a representation agreement. That agreement usually restricts clients to working with one agent (and is also known as an exclusive agreement).
Make sure you carefully review any agreement prior to signing. Look for opt-out clauses, and make sure you're comfortable with the length of the agreement.
Is your agent going above and beyond?
Once you've started working with an agent, ask yourself how you're feeling about the process. Is your agent returning your calls, keeping you informed, and doing their very best to ensure your satisfaction?
Or is your agent limping along the Bare Minimum Trail? Real estate is a competitive field, and subpar agents simply can't produce good results for their clients.
If you're feeling unsatisfied, don't hesitate to discuss your concerns with your agent. Perhaps there is a valid reason that your agent is not showing you a certain property or hosting another open house.
But if your agent continues to disappoint, it's time to think about hiring someone new. Some agreements allow you to opt-out of a contract at any time, while others mandate that you wait until the contract's term is up. If your agent refuses to let you out of the agreement, yet has failed to live up to contractural obligations, you can also attempt to break out of the agreement via the legal system. Talk to an attorney if you decide to pursue this option.
Is your gut smiling or cringing?
What is your gut reaction?
In the end, a big portion of client satisfaction boils down to gut reaction. Only you can know what feels right to you.
Continue to measure your intuition at several points along the real estate journey. Don't hesitate to address your concerns if something feels off. A real estate transaction is an important process, and you need to feel validated by your professional partners.
Rest assured: The world is full of excellent real estate agents. Find one today!
