Clark House Initiative is a curatorial collaborative and a union of artists based in Bombay. It was established in 2010 by Zasha Colah and Sumesh Sharma as a curatorial collaborative and artist union concerned with ideas of freedom. Strategies of equality have informed their work, while experiments in rereading of histories, and concerns of representation and visibility, are ways to imagine alternative economies and freedom. Clark House Initiative intends to actively recall political and artistic figures into contemporaneity, and to question the recent rise of fascism in India based on exaggerated rumors of economic prosperity and nationalist pride. Membership arises from the basic tenets of humanism—friendship, anti-racism, sexual freedom, anti-homophobia, anti-Islamophobia, feminism, secularism, and understanding the project of modernism as an economic and political reality outside the Occident. We draw from the Black Panther Party, Dalit Panthers, Fluxus group, Richard Wright, John Cage, A.A. Raiba, Joseph Beuys, Frantz Fanon, B.R. Ambedkar, Namdeo Dhasal, Cheikh Anta Diop, Nil Yalter, Jean Bhownagary, and Krishna Reddy. Seventeen artists run the union, which gathers many more and is based across many seas. Saviya Lopes is the youngest member of the union, and the most radical in thought and life.

"Chaos" is how an immigrant advocate describes trying to learn more about roughly 200 people sent to a SeaTac Federal Detention Center by immigration authorities. Still unknown: Exactly how many of those at the prison were separated from their children.
As Democrats in the U.S. Senate push a bill that would stop the federal government from separating families at the border, local advocates are trying to learn more about the roughly 200 people recently sent by immigration authorities to SeaTac's Federal Detention Center.
Still unknown: Exactly how many of those at the prison were separated from their children.
"This is, like, chaos," said Jorge L. Barón, executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP).
His organization has been trying to meet with as many of the 200 detainees as it can. Of the 21 people NWIRP has talked to so far, 12 had their children taken from them, according to Barón.
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who met with 174 women at the prison over the weekend, asked those who had been separated from their children to raise their hands. On Monday, she said about 30 to 40 percent did so.
She did not meet with the men held there, but she said she hopes to do so soon.
Children taken from their parents are also beginning to come to Washington. Janet Gwilym, managing attorney of the Seattle office of Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), said her organization has seen eight such children, ranging in age from 12 to 17.
They are being housed at facilities in King and Pierce counties for children in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell are among several dozen senators who have sponsored the Keep Families Together Act, which would prohibit the government from separating parents and children solely to deter immigrants from crossing the border.
"As a mother and grandmother, the idea of having your child taken from you and sent away is an absolute nightmare — and the idea that this administration is using this as a so-called 'deterrent strategy' is horrifying and unacceptable," Murray said in a statement.
In the House, more than 100 representatives, including Jayapal, have asked a subcommittee to cut off funding used to separate families.
But the administration has shown no signs of backing down from its "zero-tolerance" strategy, which involves criminally prosecuting those who cross the border illegally. Federal officials have said that separating parents from children is a byproduct of these prosecutions, rather than an aim in itself.
Barón questions that. He said some of the people his staff have encountered in SeaTac have had their criminal cases closed, after pleading guilty and being sentenced to time served. And yet still, they have not been reunited with their children.
The status of their cases is somewhat confusing, he said.
Most are seeking asylum — a process that often entails an interview with an immigration official to establish if they have "credible fear" of persecution in their home countries. Those interviews are supposed to be done soon after being detained.
Yet some who have been held for a month have not had a credible-fear interview, Barón said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) handles credible-fear interviews. Sharon Rummery, a USCIS spokeswoman, said she had no information about the matter.
Like others seeking asylum, many of those in SeaTac will likely be impacted by a ruling released Monday by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Weighing in personally on an immigration appeals case, he said that victims of domestic abuse and gang violence will not be eligible for asylum.
His decision overturned an earlier decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals, which ruled in favor of a domestic-abuse victim from El Salvador.
Asylum is supposed to be reserved for people who are persecuted because they are members of a particular social group, Sessions wrote.
As their cases wind through the immigration system, many parents and children alike are focusing first on finding those they have lost. Jayapal said the mothers she met were distraught. "None had talked to their children," she said.
Children are also worried about their parents, said KIND's Gwilym. Some of the youth know more Spanish than their parents, who speak mainly indigenous languages. So the kids fear that their parents may not be able to communicate.

See, what I like about Early Years Resources' little pincer play pack bundle is the fact that it contains exactly the kinda things my sisters and I played with when we were growing up: marbles on the manhole cover on the driveway that we shared with our Auntie next door (not that we were posh enough to have a car like); pick-up sticks that I was pretty rubbish at but Dad was really, really great at; the little toys that collapsed when you pushed the base up and stood erect again when you let go; and those lovely little spinning tops. But what's better is that apart from the marbles (obviously) these are all made from wood – not 1970s plastic. The spinning tops in particular are pretty special as they are surprisingly weighty and I loved that the wheels on the little wooden animals and vehicles actually do turn around – I really hadn't expected that at all. For me, the only things not completely dragging me back to my childhood days is the absence of elastic bands and jacks. Remember them? And sadly, I don't have any of those either – or at least I didn't until about 25 minutes ago when I found some on amazon and banged an order straight in. Which got me to remembering playing two-sy with tennis balls either freestyle or against a wall and – sometimes – stuffed down a pair of Mam's tights I'd cut in half up through the crotch (not while she was wearing them). She didn't mind if they were already laddered and in the bin but it was pushing it somewhat when a pair of American Tans were taken straight from the pretty polly packet. How I loved standing with my back against a wall and thrashing that side to side across my body as fast and as hard as I could. It. was. exhausting. So yeah, this pack really does hark back to my own early years.
And as is often the case, the kids go pr-etty quiet when they discover new fiddly bits in their loose parts areas. And it's cool when you see them stop…and stare…and think…and then off they go to find something that makes playing with them that little bit more interesting. Like a cutlery caddy to thread the pick-up sticks through à la Kerplunk. How clever is that? And it would have been even more like Kerplunk if I'd been able to add marbles to the provision but couldn't on this occasion as Manky Franky is in that quirky little phase of pushing small objects up his nostrils and then having them surgically removed soon after his parents notice that his nose hasn't been discharging thick gloopy snot for a few days because, like, his nose is never not discharging that stuff. (He's not called Manky Franky for nowt you know? Jeez, you could hang wallpaper with it). And those little geniuses (genii? genuises? anyone?) who went off to cut up squares of foil to wrap the little cars in and give to each other as presents? Aaaaaw. Oh, and a piece of guttering for a car ramp and my best metal tray to thrash out a drum solo with pick-up sticks. Exactly the same kinda things scavenged from the garden and the kitchen cupboards that I used to play with while messing about at my Mam's feet as she cooked a full roast, Yorkshire puds and veggies from scratch and the same kinda things my own son played with too while I slopped out a vegetarian casserole I'd been over-cooking in my Eternal Beau slow cooker since 6.45am that he's never gonna eat in a month of Sundays. The only thing the kids didn't make was a den from my clothes horse and table cloth but then it was 2.15 by the time we got back from the woods and the little tinkers start going home at 2.30. Maybe tomorrow huh?
Seriously guys, I'm loving this movement back into days gone by. Authentic, honest, natural, open-ended, sustainable & well-made stuff for our little imaginators. (Maaaan, I so wish I'd coined that word myself). The only thing for me is that the pack seems a bit pricey at £29.95 (ex VAT) but then again, the quality is especially nice. Mind, the little blue bi-plane didn't last 2 minutes but that was because my puppy took off with it before I had chance to put him in his crate soooooo yeah. Overall, the kids and I [and Loki] enjoyed the resources – in fact – I might have enjoyed them just a little bit more than they did.

I am looking for a way to make my AIs climb walls.
I know I could place some NavLinkProxy with specific NavArea which trigger a special move to my AIs. But I seek better solution.
Firstly, placing all the NavLinkProxy is a fastidious work for the LD (And is not an exact science).
Secondly, the NavLinkProxy link two edges in a unique point, and the AI cross the edges by this point instead of use all the width of the edges.
So if anybody know a solution I take it.
I'm also looking for any information on NavLinkProxy and NPC climbing.
Finaly the way I use is to hack Recast library to add automatically segment nav link between contours. It took me 5 weeks to implement this solution. It is not perfect but it works.

Here's our first look at the new Chrome OS animated screensaver feature
You are here: Home / Chrome OS / Here's our first look at the new Chrome OS animated screensaver feature
February 18, 2022 By Michael Perrigo Leave a Comment
Thanks to Kevin Tofel over at About Chromebooks, we now have our very first look at the animated screensavers Google recently promised us that would eventually make their way to the new Personalization Hub.
After updating his Acer Spin 713 to Chrome OS Dev Channel 100 – the first three-digit version of Google's operating system – he was met with a new setting to enable the screensaver you see below. In order to get this working though, he also had to enable a new Chrome developer flag called Ambient Mode Animation.
Launch the Lottie animated ChromeOS Screensaver
Launches the animated screensaver (as opposed to the existing photo slideshow) when entering ambient mode. Currently, there is only one animation theme available (feel the breeze). – Chrome OS
#ambient-mode-animation
As we previously discussed, Google is currently utilizing a web-based tool called Lottie. In the future, it may be possible for users to upload their own GIF or something to make their own screensaver, but at this time, the only one available is called "Feel the Breeze", and looks like six polaroid photos hanging on a line blowing in the wind.
What's super interesting is that even in its earliest form, the animated screensaver for Chrome OS is taking the user's photos from a Google Photos album they specify and plugging them into the polaroids in real-time. As you can see in the video, our Google Photos do currently populate the frames out of the box, which is a very exciting start.
I know many of you previously expressed interest in animated backgrounds for your Chromebook, and it's long since been something customers have asked me about in stores, so I believe that as far as personalization features go for Chrome OS, this is going to be a hit.

Die Flagge Mandschukuos war zwischen 1932 und 1945 die Nationalflagge des japanischen Marionettenstaates Mandschukuo.

Die Flagge ähnelt der 5-streifigen ersten Flagge der Republik China von 1912, in der die einzelnen Farben für die Völker Chinas standen:

 Rot: Han-Chinesen
 Blau: Mongolen
 Weiß: Hui und Uiguren
 Schwarz: Tibeter

Die Farbe der Mandschu war Gelb, was durch das gelbe Grundtuch der Flagge betont wird, obwohl auch in Mandschukuo die eigentlichen Mandschuren eine kleine Minderheit darstellten.

Die Farbe Gelb war auch eine Farbe der mandschurischen letzten Dynastie des Kaiserreichs China, der Qing-Dynastie (清朝), deren letzter Herrscher Puyi zwischen 1934 und 1945 auch Kaiser Mandschukuos war.

Laut den Memoiren Puyis standen die fünf Farben im Falle Mandschukuos jedoch nicht mehr für die fünf Völker Han, Mongolen, Hui und Tibeter, sondern für die fünf per Verfassung definierten "Staatsvölker" Mandschukuos: Mandschu, Mongolen, Chinesen (Han), Koreaner und Japaner (Japan hatte sich Siedlungsrechte für Kolonisten gesichert).

After two flights, hardly any sleep, and an over priced train fare into the city, I made it to Brisbane late in the afternoon. Lucky enough for me, my accommodation (Nomads Brisbane) in the city was directly opposite the station, so after a quick check in process and a shower I set out to do a little exploring. Which led me to discover that the city had a firework display that night that could be viewed from the edge of the City Botanic Gardens. So before the display started I bought some blueberries and some freeze dried strawberries that were on offer in Woolies and picked a place to sit to watch the display. No don't get me wrong the display was good it even featured a Harry Potter element but it was no Bonfire night in the UK… Once the display had finished I headed back to the hostel, where a couple guys from my room were planning on going to a bar nearby so naturally I joined them for a while until they went to a club at which point I headed back and tried to get some sleep.
This was my only full day in Brisbane, so before a breakfast I went to explore the City Botanic Gardens in the daylight. Once I had explored as much of the gardens as I could before I began to get hungry I headed out in pursuit of brunch. Enter The Bagel Bar, where not only did I find a great Vegan bagel on the menu, I also found a bottle of Aloe and Pear juice. I took my food to takeaway and found a spot in the middle of the city where I could eat and people watch.
After a short nap, and some journal writing I got up in search of something to do. Now this might sound crazy but I used Tinder, now wait before you all go judging me I changed my bio to make it clear I was only looking to hang out for a few hours (aka not hook up). After a bit of swiping I had some luck. A guy was in the city and wanted to go bowling, so off I went to play a round of bowling. Too my surprise I scored pretty well considering the barriers were down, I even got a strike (a rare event let me tell you). This was also the day I learnt that the state Queensland doesn't participate in daylight savings. Yup you read that right every other state in Australia uses daylight savings and they don't. I continued to be mildly irritated by how silly that is while I made myself some instant noodles for dinner with a side of blueberries.

DENSO will build electronic products plant in Japan for $19 million
DENSO Corp. says it will build a new facility on the premises of its Agui plant in Agui-cho, Chita-gun, Aichi prefecture, Japan. DENSO ELECS Co. Ltd., the corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, will transfer its headquarters and electronic product manufacturing plant from the DENSO Takatana plant in Anjo, Aichi prefecture, to the new facility.
The building area will be 12,800 square meters; the total building investment will be approximately 2.2 billion yen (approximately $19 million).
"With this move, all of DENSO ELECS functions will be centered at the Agui Plant, including the existing production facilities for industrial robots," says Masatoshi Ano, senior managing director in charge of DENSO's corporate and administration centers.
Construction of the new facility is set to start in July. It will be completed in March 2007. Production of electronic products, including bar-code readers, IC card readers, and programmable controllers, is scheduled to start in May 2007.
The products produced by DENSO ELECS are developed by DENSO WAVE Inc., a DENSO group company that manufactures industrial products.
"Following the relocation of DENSO ELECS, we plan to move the development division of DENSO WAVE, currently located on the same premises as DENSO headquarters, to the Agui plant," says Ano. "We anticipate that will take place in fiscal 2007 or later and will help increase production and development efficiency."
DENSO Corp., headquartered in Kariya, Aichi prefecture, Japan, is a global supplier of advanced technology, systems and components. For more information, go to www.globaldenso.com.

Doctors in Tamil Nadu are all for reservation
Dalits&TribalsJune 3, 2006
Why the state loves it
Doctors in Tamil Nadu are all for reserved medical seats for OBC and SC/ST students
By PC Vinoj Kumar
Going against the dominant anti-reservation sentiment among medical students and professionals nationwide, doctors in Tamil Nadu are actually agitating in favour of increased quotas for backward caste candidates in medical colleges. The progressive Doctors' Association for Social Equality (DASE), whose members include doctors and medical students, has been instrumental in forming a Campaign Committee for Reservation (CCR) that is spearheading the pro-quota struggle.
DASE has the support of political parties, lawyers, and various doctors' associations, including the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association (TNGDA) and the state branch of Indian Medical Association (IMA). DASE has organised demonstrations and human chains in support of reservations in the state, and its members are drawing plans to work with likeminded outfits at the national level. "The Central government should implement the 27 percent quota for OBCs at the earliest without any dilution. It should not yield to pressures," says Dr GR Ravindranath, general secretary, DASE and convenor of the CCR.

fermented coconut sap*, purified water, sea salt*.
Use as a soy-free, gluten-free, reduced salt version of teriyaki sauce, soy sauce or tamari. It is also great as a marinade and as a base to use in salad dressings due to its natural sweetness.
The coconut sap is naturally fermented in barrels along with sea salt and water.
ROAR Coconut Teriyaki Sauce is soy-free, gluten-free and reduced salt (half the amount as leading brands of Teriyaki sauce).
Our tantalising teriyaki sauce is made from fermented coconut sap – rather than a traditional blend of soybeans and wheat – making it a tasty, soy-free, gluten-free and reduced-salt alternative to the classic Japanese condiment and cooking sauce.
ROAR Coconut Teriyaki Sauce contains over half the amount of salt than other brands of teriyaki sauce… But just like a traditional teriyaki it is satisfyingly sweet and high in umami flavour boosters, which add a rich, savoury taste to any dish.
Fantastic in stir-fries, sushi, salad dressings or simply as a lovely, light seasoning. Use this soy-free pantry staple as you would any soy or teriyaki sauce. It is also great as a substitute in any soy and honey dish given its naturally 'salty and sweet' flavour profile.

Leading companies focus on health, financial wellbeing and careers of employees
27th Mar 2020 by Ben Poole
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent uncertainty are accelerating changes in the way organisations around the world are working and will continue to work into the future. Particularly in challenging times, leading employers are focusing on their workforce, specifically fostering healthy lifestyles, supporting financial wellness and providing skills and training as careers change due to AI and technology developments. The reasoning is clear: According to Mercer's 2020 Global Talent Trends study, 34% of employees expect their jobs to be replaced in three years, 61% of employees believe their employers are preparing them for the future of work and 55% trust their organisation to reskill them if their job changes as a result of automation. As employers transform to tackle these matters, they should reconsider their company's purpose and their responsibilities to employees and employees' future earnings, since 63% of HR leaders predict stagnant wage growth. And, they need to do so while facing unforeseen challenges like COVID-19 and a likely economic softening that could impact the adoption of new workforce strategies.
"Balancing economics and empathy in all people decisions is important, even more so now as we face questions, concerns and the uncertainty of a global pandemic," said Ilya Bonic, president, Career and head of Strategy at Mercer. "Organisations need to have a financial model and cultural mindset that enables them to prepare for and invest in the future. This rethinking of purpose and priorities is vital across the organisation, but especially for HR. The findings from this year's study make it clear that transformation of the HR function is a key component to creating a sustainable organisation."
The four trends that Mercer's study identifies for 2020 are:
Focus on futures: Work together to ensure people thrive now and in the future. With a new mandate for business, 85% of executives agree that the organisation's purpose should extend beyond shareholder primacy, yet only 35% of companies deliver on this today. Meanwhile, one in three employees say they would prefer to work for an employer that shows responsibility towards all stakeholders, beyond just shareholders and investors. Furthermore, much of an organisation's success depends on whether it can support its talent to grow and shape a sustainable business. This is on the executive agenda - with 68% wanting to focus more on environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. While 61% of employees trust their employer to prepare them for the future of work, 63% feel at risk of burnout. Career pipelines have tightened as 72% of experienced workers say they plan to work past retirement age, and 55% of those in 'Gen X' say opportunities to advance are limited because of longevity in the workplace. Better management of older workers is part of creating shared value. More than three-quarters (78%) of employees want long-term financial planning, yet just 23% of companies say they provide financial education for employees today.
"It's wrong to assume that shareholder interests cannot be aligned with those of a company's wider stakeholders," said Laura McKim, partner and UK Career Business Leader at Mercer. "Organisations that successfully navigate the turbulent times ahead will be those who champion empathy to maximise returns for all shareholders, employees and society alike."
In most regions, employees' most valued career support is personal and professional growth opportunities (73%). In Asia, knowing what skills will become important or obsolete in the future tops the list (71%), while in Africa employees value managers who can have useful career conversations no matter their life stage (72%). The UK is aligned to the global trend in that 70% of employees feel that their company gives them the space to learn and grow, both professionally and personally.
Race to reskill: Transform the workforce by reskilling for a new world economy. Reskilling is the talent investment most capable of driving business success, and 99% of all organisations are embarking on transformation and report significant skill gaps. Workforce capability and lack of future skills was the top reason transformations failed. Although 78% of employees globally say they are ready to learn new skills, 38% claim they do not have enough time for training. Moreover, just 34% of HR leaders are investing in workforce learning and reskilling as part of their strategy to prepare for the future of work and 40% do not know what skills their workforce has today.
"Job requirements are changing and the responsibility for upskilling, reskilling and redeployment needs to be shared between employers and employees," said Lisa Lyons, UK Leadership and Workforce Transformation Practice Lead at Mercer. "Where organisations see less demand for certain skills and increased demand for others, they should look to identify people with transferable skills and provide reskilling opportunities."
Across regions, employees say innovation will be the top in-demand skill in the next 12 months. HR leaders in North America and Latin America agree with their employees. The United Kingdom follows this trend, with employees and HR leaders agreeing that innovation is a top priority. Elsewhere, however, HR leaders put digital marketing (Africa, Europe, Middle East, Pacific) and data visualisation at the top (Asia).
Sense with science: See ahead by augmenting AI with human intuition. Advances in machine learning continue to permeate across industries and ways of life: Use of predictive analytics has nearly quadrupled in five years (from 10% in 2016 to 39% today). Yet, only 43% of organisations use metrics to identify employees likely to leave, 41% know when critical talent is likely to retire, 18% know the impact of pay strategies on performance, 15% can determine if it is better to buy/build/borrow employees and 12% are using analytics to correct inequities and prevent them recurring. Other forms of employee engagement data gathering are on the rise too; 62% of companies are using pulse surveys today, and 33% plan to invest in this in 2020. While machines outperform humans at tasks related to scale and speed, humans outpace machines at sense-checking and judgement, which are critical elements of ethical decision-making. Yet while 67% of HR leaders are confident they can ensure AI is not institutionalising bias, ethics codes about the collection, application and implications of people analytics are still in their infancy. Talent assessment is equally an area where human intuition is needed along with the digital assessments – today only one in two employees (52%) had a positive assessment experience and found it useful.
"The availability of data and capability of analytics has increased but with great data comes great responsibility, the challenge is for organisations to use it effectively to inform strategy through ethical means," said McKim. "The challenge for companies lies in balancing the protection of personal data and the interrogation of this data to drive strategic decision making."
Across regions, disconnects exist between the analytics the C-suite prioritises and those HR leaders provide. In the Pacific, 53% of HR leaders provide analytics on the C-suite's second top priority as to why one team is high performing and another struggles. Yet, only 39% are providing analytics on the top priority around key drivers of engagement. In mature markets, like the United Kingdom, only 49% are using analytics to identify the key drivers of pay inequities - the C-suite's top priority.
Energise the experience: Inspire and invigorate people by redesigning their work experience. Delivering on the employee experience is HR's top priority, and 58% of organisations are redesigning to become more people-centric. Yet, only 27% of executives believe employee experience will yield a business return. And, even though 61% of employees trust their employer to look after their well-being and 48% of executives rank it as a top workforce concern, only 29% of HR leaders have a health and well-being strategy. This is not an area to be missed as employees whose company is focused on employee health and well-being are four times more likely to be energised.
Energised employees are essential to realise organisations' transformation agenda: they are more likely to stay, more resilient, and more ready to reskill. HR transformation is high on organisations' agenda and delivering on the employee experience requires HR to step out of its functional silos, yet only 40% of HR leaders say they have an integrated people strategy.
"Interactions with employees matter, but often our focus on HR process and efficiency creates an unappealing candidate and employee experience," said McKim. "Organisations that approach the employee experience in the same way they would the customer experience, where a premium is placed on employee interactions and system and process design comes second, will have better success in engaging employees. Never more than now has placing employees' interests at the heart of our businesses been more timely or important."

Successful small businesses do whatever it takes to keep their customers happy. In good times, a loyal customer base helps your business thrive. In bad times, loyal customers can keep you afloat. Developing loyalty might be difficult at first, but the long-term benefits of having a happy customer base are well worth the effort. Two ways to keep a loyal customer base are to continually strengthen your customer relationships and to offer consistently good service.
Your continual goal in business should be to foster and strengthen long-term relationships with your customers. Each interaction you have with your customers should make it clear you value their patronage and look forward to seeing them again. If your customers believe you care about them individually, they will progress from preferring your brand to insisting on your brand. The emotional attachment they have to your business will make it hard for your competitors to lure them away.
Maintaining open lines of communication is vital for strengthening relationships with your customers, according to the book "Building Customer Loyalty," by JoAnna Brandi. Encourage your customers to communicate pressing concerns to you or a staff member. Solicit feedback through customer surveys, and incorporate the best suggestions so your customers know you're listening. Offer newsletters to keep your customers posted about notable changes.
Customer loyalty also depends on your business's consistency. If your product or service is great one day but terrible the next, you will never enjoy a loyal customer base. Developing consistency starts with establishing your brand identity. For example, if you own several stores, each should offer the same product lines, service quality and design scheme. All your employees should receive extensive training to ensure organization-wide consistency of service.
Despite your best efforts, inconsistencies in your customer's experiences are bound to emerge. For example, hotel chains know the bad practices of just a few individual franchises can threaten the reputation of the entire chain, according to the book "Managing Marketing in the Twenty-first Century," by Noel Capon and James M. Hulbert. But you don't have to let inconsistencies destroy your chances of building a loyal customer base. Solicit customer feedback with targeted questions concerning the consistency of their experiences. Then take immediate steps to remedy the problems your customers identified.


Project description (Phase 1 Outline Masterplan): Greenfield, in partnership with BRE conduct an Outline Heat Master Planning study for Oxford City Council. The Master Plan and appraisal work focused on overall heat mapping and outline masterplanning in several parts of the city. The city comprises quite distinct areas and it emerged that potential exists in a number of prominent areas.
An outline master plan has been delivered for Oxford. The idea for this was to obtain an overview for a city that hitherto did not have any district heating networks. For this purpose the National Heat Map was initially used to assess areas with significant heat demand density, and this was augmented by means of a series of interviews with potentially interested stakeholders. The work involved an investigation of existing energy centres and local sources of surplus and renewable energy. By developing this strategic view, likely opportunities for future expansion were examined, including the possibility of developing a wider (city wide) scheme in future.
The major heat loads and current and likely future areas of high heat demand density were identified and included in an outline masterplan, which together with existing energy centres could form the core for heat network development. An indication was provided of the possible sequence and phasing for their development and potential future linkage. Preliminary heat network layouts were configured, together with the indicative heat demand, possible energy supply and network length.
Gas fired CHP is envisaged as the principal heat source, but a range of other sources including biomass, industrial waste heat, and waste heat from sewage via heat pumps, are also under scrutiny.
Project description (Phase 2 Feasibility): Following from the masterplanning full feasibility work has been commissioned to consider three key network opportunities in the city centre, a hospital zone to the east and an area within the vicinity of the BMW Mini plant in Cowley. The study will deliver full feasibility for city centre scheme with adapted studies in the other areas, to account for particular constraints.

Security researcher and Google employee Michal Zalewski is warning of a potentially serious security hole that affects the three major Web browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google's Chrome browser and that could make it easy for attackers to push malicious downloads from domains other than that being visited by unsuspecting Web users.
Attackers could take advantage of a widely supported feature that allows a document loaded in one instance of a Web browser to point other active browser windows to arbitrary URLs. The feature also allows a malicious Web page to push a download to a target window that is open to another domain using the widely supported Content-Disposition: attachment header feature.
In his blog post, Zalewski said that most popular browsers do a poor job of indicating to users that the download does not come from the domain they have browsed to – if they inform them at all. Misuse of that feature could support sophisticated Web based attacks in which rogue downloads are seemingly launched from legitimate sites. He included a proof of concept attack in which a button on one Web page seems to launch a download of an Adobe Flash Player update from the official Flash Player download site. In fact, the download is a fake pushed by Zalewski, not Adobe.
"The problem also poses an interesting challenge to sites that frame gadgets, games, or advertisements from third-party sources; even HTML5 sandboxed frames permit the initiation of rogue downloads (oops!)," he wrote.
Microsoft, Google and Mozilla Foundation, which makes the Firefox browser, have all acknowledged the hole. Google plans a fix for it, but hasn't indicated when it might be available. Microsoft said that it will not address the issue with a security patch for current versions of IE, which suggests that it may address it as a feature in forthcoming IE releases> Finally, the Mozilla Foundation hasn't made a commitment to fix the issue, Zalewski wrote.
Users commenting on the post also note that most versions of Apple's Safari Web browser support the same insecure operations.
Zalewski is the Obi-Wan Kenobe of browser security, and author of The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications. That means: when Zalewski throws down on a new security hole that he finds "amusing," folks in Redmond, Mountain View and Cupertino go scrambling. Zalewski has uncovered a wide range of security flaws in common Web browsers in recent years, many of them exploitable. He has also authored a number of fuzzing and security research tools, including cross-fuzz and Pof. He was at the center of controversy after Microsoft accused him of irresponsible disclosure of a critical security hole in Internet Explorer in January, 2011.
Commenting on the vendors' responses to the vulnerability, he said that they are "fine, given the sorry state of browser UI security in general." However, the vulnerability -if left unaddressed – could pose problems. "In good conscience, I can't dismiss the problem as completely insignificant," he wrote.

Not so funny when it happens in Dorchester
No, no ...
Storrowing will never not be funny, no matter where it is.
At least as long as nobody is hurt and it doesn't take out the Red Line with it, that is.
So Glad No Spill

Poop is not a laughing matter. Ok, it actually is, but not when it's all over the place.
Hopefully, it's just a honey wagon.

I do have concerns whenever I see a bunch of cylindrical objects get damaged...
Plus, I don't see much in the way of placards.
I give it 7.5/10
There was no tearing off of roofs nor a flip over.
Well, he tried
It's not his fault he's driving some solidly built contraption instead of a tissue-paper-thin box truck ...
Looks like one of those
Looks like one of those trucks that clears out sewer pipes. Despite not tipping over, I bet the dollar value of the damage is far greater than any box truck.

What kind of truck equipment is it?
I was passing nearby around
By dvg on Thu, 09/27/2018 - 11:19am.
I was passing nearby around 10:30 and went to look at what was going on -the road was still closed and the truck about to be towed away. Interestingly, there is a sign that clearly states 13'6" on the bridge and the vacuum truck has a decal on it (not visible on the pictures above) that says 13'6". One of these things had to be a little off.
Sometimes they forget to
Sometimes they forget to adjust the sign after repaving, which could add a few inches to the road surface. I know a trucker this happened to. He said he got out of his truck with a can of spray paint and painted over the "6"" on the sign himself while he waited.
The truck's height could also change a few inches depending on the load it's carrying (although I would hope that the height they put on the sticker is what was measured when the truck was completely unladen, plus a couple inches for a safety margin).
13.6 vs 13.6
By Just Saying on Thu, 09/27/2018 - 5:39pm.
If the bridge in the truck were the same height would you have driven under it?
Who's the company ? Where
By Chadbro on Thu, 09/27/2018 - 11:06pm.
Who's the company ? Where are their DOT serial numbers on truck?
Hopefully MSP or BPD. Didn't let them get away not having that.

Q: How do I add jquery-mobile to a rails 4 app My goal is moving between previous and next photos in mobile browser with a finger swipe:
https://api.jquerymobile.com/swipeleft/
https://api.jquerymobile.com/swiperight/
Since I am only going to be using it in a few areas of the website, I decided to place:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css" />

at the top of my show.html.erb view.
However, it completely destroys/crashed the way that my web app looks and functions. For example, buttons that I had hidden were displayed. Elements were over and undersized, etc.
In this topic it is suggested that Turbolinks must be removed. I am not sure if that is the source of these problems.

A: According to the post you referenced, Turbolinks and jQuery are not meant to be used together.  On top of that, if you're just using the jQuery Mobile swipe functions, you don't need any styling, so remove the CSS file for jQueryMobile and try that.

Year after year, 15+ Israeli's come to Camp Newman to spend their summer engaging in a Jewish community across the globe. We call them our Mishlachat, our Israeli delegation. Although it may be a daunting task, their experience results in countless memories and a new perspective of Judaism. They come not only to build lifelong friendships but to help break down barriers and illuminate for our entire camp community what their lives are like back in Israel.
We are all so lucky that these passionate Israeli individuals come every year to share their love of Israel and to give us a glimpse of their home.
Read this poem written by one of our Mishlachat, reminiscing of their time here at #NewmanByTheBay.
To fly 15 hours to a place you couldn't begin to imagine, and then to land and find out you didn't bring enough jackets.
To be asked "can you do an American accent?" To ask a thousand times, "ma?" And to start speaking Hebrew in an American accent: kikar, beit t'fila, ulam hasport.
To break common beliefs about the IDF, to form new opinions about the IDF, and to talk only about the IDF.
To have Bat Mitzvah when you are 20 years old, to make new friends, and to know that we have so much in common even though we come from different places.
To explain that Noa is a girl's name, to learn to play Frisbee; it's to love the mac 'n' cheese and hate the falafel in the dining hall.
To tell my family what I do here and know they will never understand.
To be an ambassador in everything you do, to scream for the first time "I LOVE BEING JEWISH," and to be the best version of yourself just because you can.
Each session, our campers participate in Yom Israel – a half day of engaging programming led by our Mischlachat to give campers insight into Israeli culture, geography and history.

He grew up at a six-generation dairy in Michigan, and ended up studying international business at NHH. In this month's re-examined we have talked with Aric Nesbitt about his camping trip to the top of Ulriken, the friends he made at Kramboden, and how he ended up as the Republican Majority Floor Leader in the Michigan House of Representatives.
Since an early age I have wanted to study in Europe to explore and learn more about our world. After graduating with my Bachelors in Economics, I began looking at business schools all over Europe. Having visited Norway before and having several friends from Norway, it was at the top of my list. NHH had a good reputation among European business schools, provided a beautiful setting, and was a great opportunity to study and learn with students from around the world.
What was your major, and who was your favorite professor?
I earned an MSc in Economics and Business Administration with a specialization in International Business. I really enjoyed taking the International Management Course with Paul Gooderham. He challenged us to think outside our comfort zone. Also, Tor Aase Johannessen was always available and helpful with projects.
I always found the right balance of being involved academically and socially, while also finding time to travel and explore Norway. I enjoyed studying with other international students in the library; however, I would typically end up reading the latest Economist Magazine and Wall Street Journal, or reading a biography that interested me.
What was the best thing about studying at NHH and in Norway?
Studying in Norway provided me the opportunity to investigate problems and issues I would not have otherwise had the opportunity to research. Bergen was a beautiful town that provided the amenities of a modern urban area, while giving me opportunities to explore the mountains and fjords that surround it. The Norwegian School of Economics was challenging, the professors where involved, and the students were knowledgeable and friendly.
What is your most vivid NHH memory?
From staying at the student council cabin in the mountains, making friends from around the world, skiing in Voss, and nights spent with friends downtown, I have many great memories of my time at NHH.
However, I would say that the most vivid memory would be camping at the top of Ulriken with a group of friends from Scotland, Germany, Canada, France, and the United States. It was the end of May/June, and one of those early summer, perfect weekends. We hiked up to the top of Ulriken, made a campsite, saw the sun set into the ocean, and stayed up most of the night telling stories around the campfire, and woke up just in time to watch the sunrise as we made breakfast over the fire.
I grew up on a six-generation family dairy and grape farm in Southwest Michigan. After attending NHH and working for a time in Congress, Washington DC I moved back home to run for the Michigan House of Representatives. I'm currently serving my third, two-year term, and was elected by my colleagues to serve as the Majority Floor Leader (when bills come out of committee I decide when they get scheduled for floor action) and appointed by the Speaker of the House as the Chair of the Energy Committee. I have become known for my work on energy, tax, and telecommunication issues.
What is the largest obstacle you are facing in your job today?
Working with colleagues to ensure Michigan is internationally competitive in taxes, regulation, and career training to make Michigan the best place to invest, work, and raise a family.
What are you reading, listening to, and watching?
I regularly read The Economist and The Wall Street Journal. Two books I am reading are Daniel Yergin's The Quest: Energy Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World and Paul Oreffice's autobiography Only in America: From Immigrant to CEO. I enjoy watching the television series Madam Secretary on CBS and looking forward to the fourth season of House of Cards. Also, Family Guy and The Simpsons are regularly on my watch list.
I would not change my career choice. I truly enjoy public service and look forward to continuing to work on behalf of my constituents to improve Michigan and the USA.

Indolamin 2,3-dioxygenáza (IDO nebo INDO EC 1.13.11.52) je enzym obsahující hemovou skupinu, který za fyziologických podmínek exprimuje řada tkání, mezi které patří například tenké střevo, plíce, ženský pohlavní trakt či placenta. U lidí je kódován genem IDO1. Tento enzym se účastní metabolismu tryptofanu, přičemž katalyzuje první limitující krok přeměny tryptofanu na formylkynurenin. K enzymům zahajujícím takzvanou kynureninovou dráhu metabolismu tryptofanu patří také indolamin 2,3–dioxygenáza–like protein (IDO2) a tryptofan 2,3-dioxygenáza (TDO). IDO je důležitou součástí přirozené obrany těla proti patogenům. Má imunosupresivní funkci a jeho působení může vést k anergii efektorových T lymfocytů, aktivaci T regulačních buněk a může stimulovat dendritické buňky k diferenciaci na imunosupresivní fenotyp. Exprese IDO byla prokázána také u různých typů nádorových linií, jako jsou akutní myeloidní leukémie, rakovina vaječníků či kolorektální karcinom.

Fyziologická funkce
Enzym IDO hraje důležitou roli v imunitním systému a zároveň je jedním z mechanismů maligní transformace přispívajícím ke vzniku nádorového bujení. Exprese IDO je indukovaná IFNγ, což vysvětluje, proč je jeho aktivita zvýšená při zánětlivých onemocněních, jak infekčních, tak autoimunitních, stejně jako při tumorigenezi. Jelikož je tryptofan pro přežití patogenů nezbytný, působení IDO je dokáže spolehlivě zničit. Mezi mikroorganismy citlivé na nedostatek tryptofanu patří například bakterie rodu Streptococcus nebo viry jako herpes simplex nebo spalničky. IDO je důležitá molekula v mechanismech tolerance a mezi jeho fyziologické funkce patří potlačení potenciálně nebezpečných zánětlivých procesů v těle. Tento enzym může být produkován alternativně aktivovanými M2 makrofágy a jinými imunoregulačními buňkami. Aktivita IDO inhibuje funkci a proliferaci cytotoxických T lymfocytů, stimuluje T regulační lymfocyty a také aktivuje myeloidní supresorové buňky, velmi často přítomné v nádoru.

Klinický význam
Dnes již s jistotou víme, že exprese IDO umožňuje nádorovým buňkám uniknout imunitnímu systému dvěma hlavními mechanismy. Prvním z nich je deplece tryptofanu z nádorového mikroprostředí, druhým je pak produkce katabolických produktů, takzvaných kynureninů, které působí cytotoxicky nejen na T lymfocyty, ale například i NK buňky. Nadměrnou expresi lidského enzymu IDO (hIDO) pozorujeme u celé řady lidských nádorových linií a tato skutečnost je často spojována s horší prognózou pacientů. Mezi nádory spojovanými se zvýšenou produkcí IDO patří například karcinom prostaty, vaječníků či pankreatu, nádory žaludku, hlavy, plic anebo akutní myeloidní leukémie. V nádorových buňkách je exprese IDO za normálních podmínek řízena genem Bin1, který je nádorovou transformací poškozen. Dnes již existují klinické studie, které naznačují, že kombinací inhibitorů IDO s klasickou chemoterapií a radioterapií, by mohlo být dosaženo obnovení imunitní kontroly a zajištění terapeutické odezvy jinak rezistentních nádorů.

Inhibitory
Norharman vykazuje neuroprotektivní vlastnosti prostřednictvím inhibice IDO a zabráněním vzniku neurotoxických metabolitů, jako je kyselina chinolinová, 3-hydroxy-kynurenin a syntáza oxidu dusnatého. Kyselina rosmarinová inhibuje expresi IDO prostřednictvím inhibice cyklooxygenázy. Inhibitory COX2 snižují aktivitu IDO, což vede ke snížení hladiny kynureninů a aktivity prozánětlivých cytokinů. Racemická směs 1-methyltryptofanu je dobrým inhibitorem IDO, ale přímé porovnání stereoizomerů v myších experimentálních modelech ukázalo, že D forma 1-methyltryptofanu lépe brání supresi T lymfocytů a je tedy vhodnější k posílení protinádorové imunitní odpovědi. 1-methyl-D-tryptofan označovaný také jako indoximod je běžně používanou látkou v klinických studiích různých typů lidských malignit. Mezi další inhibitory aktivity IDO patří látky epacadostat (INCB024360), navoximod (GDC-0919) a BMS-986205, které byly nebo právě jsou testovány v první či druhé fázi klinických zkoušek. Některé se dostaly dokonce do třetí fáze klinických testů a v kombinaci s moderní imunoterapií či klasickou léčbou představují nový způsob kombinované protinádorové terapie.
