Runaway plots now rare post-Cup path
by Brad Bishop - racing.com
Many might be surprised to see Runaway engaged when they cast the eye over this Saturday's Sportsbet Pakenham Cup (2500m) field.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained four-year-old will be having his first start since finishing 19th, beaten a tick over 28 lengths, in last month's Melbourne Cup.
The surprise would come because of how rare it is to see Australian or New Zealand-trained horses campaign on more than a month after contesting the world's premier 3200-metre race.
Horses often push on to either the Zipping Classic or Sandown Cup 11 days after the Melbourne Cup, as Ventura Storm, Who Shot Thebarman and Vengeur Masque did this year, but it's rare to race on any longer.
It wasn't that long ago it was commonplace. As recently as 2009, four Melbourne Cup runners had a start in December.
Newport (10th in the Melbourne Cup) headed to WA, contesting the Cox Stakes (December 19) en route to the Perth Cup, Gallions Reach (13th) headed home to New Zealand for a crack at the Avondale Cup (December 2), Ista Kareem (15th) used the Lord Stakes (December 26) as a launching pad to the Hobart Cup and Spin Around also contested the Avondale Cup before winning at Te Rapa on December 19.
Another, Zavite (19th), trialled midway through December before contesting the Tatt's Cup at Randwick on New Year's Day.
The year before, Guyno came out of the Melbourne Cup to win the Perth Cup, via the Cox Stakes, and in 2006 there were also four Australasian horses who campaigned on in December.
Red Ruler raced several times in New Zealand throughout December and January after finishing 19th in the 2010 Melbourne Cup, but it has been six years since a horse trained in these parts ran in Australia or New Zealand in December.
That was Unusual Suspect, who won the Werribee Cup on December 16 after finishing 21st in the 2012 Melbourne Cup, won by Green Moon.
The only Australian-trained Melbourne Cup horse to have started in December since 2012 was Lindsay Park's Criterion, who ran ninth in the Hong Kong Cup (2000m) after finishing third in Prince Of Penzance's Melbourne Cup.
Criterion is one of many horses to have headed to Hong Kong off the back of Melbourne Cup campaigns, with Dunaden (2011) and Red Cadeaux (2012) both winning the Hong Kong Vase (2400m) and placing in that race on at least one other occasion.
Americain also finished third in the Vase after winning the 2010 Melbourne Cup.
Those performances are proof that horses can perform well in December off Melbourne Cup preparations and while Runaway is not in the league of Americain, Dunaden or Red Cadeaux, the Listed Pakenham Cup is a few rungs below the G1 Hong Kong Vase.
One thing Runaway does have in common with Americain and Dunaden is that he won the G3 Geelong Cup (2400m) the start contesting the Melbourne Cup.
The son of Manhattan Rain will carry 59kg - most of which will be made up of Stephen Baster, who also rode the gelding in the Melbourne Cup - and they will start from barrier nine in the 13-horse field.
Runaway is a $13 chance in BetEasy's Pakenham Cup market, which is headed by last-start Zipping Classic runner-up Dal Harraild ($2.60), with Ballarat Cup winner Kiwia on the $4.60 second line.

Sadly, I have closed this site down. Although it has been visited by many, many thousands over the years, the demand for a relatively unknown brand of Chocolates, very good but also expensive, is now simply not enough to support the cost of rebuilding the site to conform with modern equipment, let alone the huge marketing costs.
During the last 17 years, I am extremely glad to have met some very nice people who have been very loyal customers: It has been great to get so many messages of thanks and support: Too many to name individually, I thank you all for your past orders and often highly amusing comments.
Many of you have contacted me and, as a result, we may re-open our shop, Minerva in Colchester and this web site, modified, in November to trade until Christmas only. I will keep you advised!


With the assistance of the minerals industry, students are introduced to current equipment and mining practices, enabling them to develop an understanding of some of the engineering problems that occur in actual mining situations. Students in the surveying class, for example, gain "hands-on" experience with a variety of equipment and techniques and encounter the actual problems of time limitation and weather. In addition, mining and geological engineering students are able to design, drill and blast drift openings; test their mental and physical skills; and obtain an understanding of the various situations involved in a working mine.
This new facility houses three new classrooms which can be converted into a large meeting space, offices, warehouse space, a historic center for the mining industry, a new Mine Rescue Station for the school's Gold and Black Mine Rescue teams, and separate mine dry houses for men and women. The generous donations from industry partners will ensure we continue to have excellent equipment for educating our students.
The mine also serves as an introduction to the mineral industry in Missouri for the public through guided tours and various informational programs. It is the filming site for the lab portions of the Discovery series "The Detonators". Each summer Explosives Camp is offered for rising 11th and 12th grade students. It is the first and only camp geared to students interested in explosives engineering.
The expanded activity at the mine brought about the need for additional surface and underground space. Twelve acres of adjacent land were purchased from the Long estate in 1949, completing the 19 acres of the current site. About six acres of land was reserved as a right of way for the Frisco Railroad (Burlington-Northern).


The number of university presidents receiving salaries more than $ 1 million is rising, according to a report by The Chronicle for Higher Education that analyzed federal tax documents from the 2008-2009 fiscal year.
Of 448 institutions of higher learning survey, 30 presidents earned in the seven-figures range in 2008, including former USC president Steven B. Sample.
Sample had the fifth highest income of university presidents surveyed, reporting $1,913,927 in earnings.
However, this number was probably inflated, as top-earners are often university presidents who receive payouts when stepping down, according to the Los Angeles Times. Two of the top 10 earners had died and one president, in addition to Sample, was retired. In November 2009, the L.A. Times said Sample's salary was approximately $800,000 a year.
The highest paid sitting president was Southern Methodist University's Gerald R. Turner at just under $2.8 million in total compensation. But, according to the university, Turner cashed out a life-insurance policy and bought his own policy, increasing his total pay by $1.5 million.
Other schools with high-earning sitting presidents include Vanderbilt University (just more than $2.4 million), Columbia University (just less than $1.8 million) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (more than $1.6 million).
Raymond D. Cotton, a lawyer who specializes in presidential contracts, told The Chronicle of Higher Education that he expects executive salaries to rise because more boards consist of businesspeople adopting practices from the for-profit sector. Many baby boomers who are college presidents are retiring, he said, and the boards will compete against each other for the best, making them more willing to offer larger salaries.

Trump's EPA Signs 'Deadly' Clean Power Plan Replacement
Posted by admin3 on Jun 22, 2019 in Air quality, Climate change, Coal, Environmental aspects, Featured, Fossil Fuels, Government policy, Law and legislation, Location, National - USA, Renewable energy | 1 comment
Former coal lobbyist and Trump-appointed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler signed a rule Wednesday that officially replaces the Obama-era Clean Power Plan with a new regulation that Wheeler said could lead to the opening of more coal plants, the Associated Press reported.
While the Obama administration plan would have established national limits on greenhouse gas emissions and mandated utilities move away from coal, the Trump administration's Affordable Clean Energy Rule allows states to decide whether and how much to reduce emissions, The New York Times explained.
"I don't know who is going to invest in a new coal fired power plant, but we're leveling the playing field to allow that investment to occur," Wheeler said, as The New York Times reported.
The announcement was roundly criticized by environmental groups, and the attorneys general of California, Oregon, Washington State, Iowa, Colorado and New York all vowed to sue to stop it. Opponents say the plan does not do enough to reduce emissions at a time of growing climate crisis and puts more Americans at risk from air pollution.
The new rule would reduce electricity emissions by less than half of what experts say is needed to stop global temperatures from rising above two degrees Celsius, The Washington Post reported. And the EPA's own initial estimate found the new rule would lead to between 470 and 1,400 premature deaths a year by 2030 due to increased particulate matter pollution. The new rule also comes as U.S. greenhouse gas emissions began to rise again in 2018 after a three-year decline, according to The New York Times. It was also signed a day after the Associated Press reported that U.S. progress on air pollution has stalled.
"This deadly rule rejects science in a groveling effort to satisfy the fossil fuel lobby," Center for Biological Diversity senior attorney Clare Lakewood said in a statement to EcoWatch. "Trump's EPA is hell-bent on propping up coal at the expense of human health, the survival of endangered species and a livable climate. But we're confident this attack on our lungs and our planet won't survive in the courts."
However, some legal experts told The New York Times there is a danger in suing to stop the rule. The Obama administration's plan assumed that the EPA had the power to regulate greenhouse gas emissions on the national level, while the Trump administration plan argues it can only regulate environmental violations at individual plants. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Trump administration plan and interpretation, it could restrict what future presidents are able to do to fight climate change under existing law.
"It could foreclose a new administration from doing something more ambitious," Harvard University environmental law professor and Obama administration legal counsel Jody Freeman told The New York Times.
The Clean Power Plan itself was suspended by the Supreme Court after it was challenged by hundreds of companies and 28 states.
Bracewell LLP partner Jeff Holmstead, who led the EPA's air office under President George W. Bush, recommended pushing Congress to pass climate legislation.
"If Trump isn't reelected and the next president makes climate change a priority, I think there's a good chance that we'll see a climate change bill enacted into law, even if Republicans control both houses of Congress," Holmstead told The Washington Post.
Some argued that the electricity sector is shifting away from coal despite the administration's attempts to boost the power source.
Beyond Carbon, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new initiative to shut down all U.S. coal plants by 2030, acknowledged the damage that could be done by the Trump administration's plan while also arguing that it could not stop the national shift away from fossil fuels. Campaign manager Brynne Craig explained in a statement to EcoWatch:
"Each passing month brings new evidence of the climate crisis and the Trump Administration continues to demonstrate its contempt for science and its subversion of fact-based environmental policies. By scrapping the Clean Power Plan, our country's first ever attempt to cut carbon pollution at the national level, President Trump has weakened climate and air pollution standards and threatened the health and safety of Americans.
"Yet the Trump Administration's attempts to revive obsolete industries like coal have proven futile: since he has taken office, over 50 coal plants have closed, putting us over halfway to retiring the U.S. coal fleet and showing the undeniable momentum among U.S. markets, organizations, and communities in moving off of dirty, deadly, and costly fossil fuels. American cities, states, and businesses are also inspiring great hope with their work to combat the climate crisis, regardless of the federal government. Beyond Carbon will accelerate these efforts and further the country's transition toward a clean energy future."
DTE Chairman and CEO Gerry Anderson told The Washington Post the plan would not change his pledge to cut emissions 80 percent by 2040 and close 14 of 18 coal plants by 2030.
"The industry's in motion, and it's got its own life," Anderson told The Washington Post. "We're moving on, and the rest of the industry is in a similar direction."

E.P.A. Finalizes Its Plan to Replace Obama-Era Climate Rules

By Lisa Friedman
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Wednesday replaced former President Barack Obama's effort to reduce planet-warming pollution from coal plants with a new rule that would keep plants open longer and undercut progress on reducing carbon emissions.
The rule represents the Trump administration's most direct effort to protect the coal industry. It is also another significant step in dismantling measures aimed at combating global warming, including the rollback of tailpipe emissions standards and the planned withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.
The move largely gives states the authority to decide how far to scale back emissions, or not to do it all, and significantly reduces the federal government's role in setting standards. The Obama plan would have set national emissions limits and required the reconstruction of power grids to move utilities away from coal.
The new regulation, known as the Affordable Clean Energy rule, immediately drew a flurry of challenges, with attorneys general in California, Oregon, Washington State, Iowa, Colorado and New York saying they intended to sue to block the measure.
Those cases could have far-reaching implications for global warming. If the Supreme Court ultimately upholds the administration's approach to pollution regulation, it would shut down a key avenue that future presidents could use to address climate change.
At issue is whether the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to set national restrictions on carbon emissions and force states to move away from coal, as assumed under Mr. Obama's rule. Under the Trump administration's interpretation, the agency only has authority over environmental infractions at individual plants, like chemical spills and improper handling of hazardous materials.
Andrew Wheeler, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, argued that the Obama administration had overreached its authority with its rule. That regulation, known as the Clean Power Plan, was suspended by the Supreme Court after challenges from 28 states and hundreds of companies.
America's Skies Have Gotten Clearer, but Millions Still Breathe Unhealthy Air
Air pollution has improved dramatically over the past four decades, in a large part because of federal regulations. But many areas of the country still have high levels of pollution, and climate change may make them worse.
Jody Freeman, a professor of environmental law at Harvard University and a former legal counsel in the Obama administration, said it would be "a blockbuster" if the Trump rule reached the Supreme Court and justices endorsed the administration approach. "It could foreclose a new administration from doing something more ambitious," she said.
The new rule, which is expected to come into effect within 30 days, assumes that the forces of the market will guide the country to a future of cleaner energy by naturally phasing out coal over time. It imposes only modest requirements on coal plants.
While it instructs states to reduce emissions, the new measure sets no targets. Instead, it lets states decide how much carbon reduction they consider reasonable and suggests ways to improve efficiency at individual power plants.
Jeffrey R. Holmstead, who served in the E.P.A. during both Bush administrations and now represents utility companies as a lawyer for the firm Bracewell, said he thought the current Supreme Court would be skeptical of any presidential effort to regulate carbon emissions under existing law.
"It will establish what the E.P.A. can and can't do," Mr. Holmstead said of the new Trump rule. "I think it really will tie the hands of future administrations."
Environmental groups say the Trump rule will slow the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at a time when scientists warn that countries must rapidly decarbonize to avoid the most severe effects of climate change, including heat waves, extreme storms, droughts and floods.
Mr. Wheeler has said the Trump administration's plan is legally sound, will not damage the economy and will still go a long way toward reducing carbon.
He maintained that, when the new measure is fully implemented, it will reduce carbon emissions in the power sector by 34 percent below 2005 levels, roughly equal to the goals of the Clean Power Plan.
Mr. Wheeler also said the rule could lead to new coal plants in the United States. "I don't know who is going to invest in a new coal fired power plant, but we're leveling the playing field to allow that investment to occur," he said.
Mr. Wheeler noted, as he has in the past that, from 2005 to 2017, the United States reduced its energy-related carbon emissions by 14 percent. He did not mention that they rose in 2018 and are on track to continue growing this year. Asked about the upward trend of emissions, Mr. Wheeler said he remained confident that the Trump administration was taking the right approach and should not overstep its authority to address climate change.
"We're on the right side of history," he said. "Its Congress' role to draft statutes, not the regulatory agencies."

Industry leaders welcomed the new rule, saying it grants states and utilities the flexibility to reduce emissions in ways best suited to their individual circumstances. Phil Smith, a spokesman for the United Mine Workers of America, said the Trump administration plan would save jobs in coal country.
The Obama plan, he said, prevented the construction of new plants and led to the closing of existing plants. The Trump rule, by contrast, "is going to reduce emissions while not immediately putting an end to our industry," he said.
Scientific and environmental organizations, though, maintain that the Trump rule could cause emissions to rise compared with what the Clean Power Plan would have done and that the Trump rule would be only slightly better than doing nothing at all.
That's in large part because of a phenomenon known as the emissions rebound effect. While plants that make efficiency improvements like those suggested under the Trump plan will become slightly cleaner, those improvements will generally allow them to operate longer, too. The overall effect is to increase the amount of emissions generated over the lifetime of a particular plant.
According to a joint study produced last year by Harvard University, Syracuse University and Resources for the Future, a research organization, 18 states and the District of Columbia would see higher greenhouse emissions from the Trump rule. In 19 states, pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions would rise.
An early Trump administration analysis of its own plan also found that it would lead to hundreds more premature deaths and hospitalizations because of that increased air pollution.
On Wednesday, the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, issued a new analysis that estimated, based on established E.P.A. methods of calculating the harm from pollution and industry trends, that the new plan could lead to as many as 5,200 premature deaths annually by 2030.
"No matter how you slice it, this is a dramatic retrenchment" Ms. Freeman said. "It's not just that they're doing very small, modest steps to reduce emissions. It's that they're not creating momentum to substitute renewables and substitute natural gas for coal. That's what the Obama rule was doing, and it had a long-term view to bigger emission cuts over time."
Mr. Wheeler, though, continued to push back against the perception that the Trump administration was disregarding the threat posed by rising emissions.
"We are addressing climate change," Mr. Wheeler said. "We have limited authority but we're doing a lot."

Glee from the opposition:
Goodbye to Obama's "Clean" Power Plan
The Obama presidency was an era of bureaucratic overreach.
No bureaucratic agency was more arrogant, or heedless of its legal boundaries than EPA. No Obama regulation would have been more ruinous than the so-called "Clean" Power Plan. The "CPP" was so egregious that the Supreme Court put it on hold. Good thing.
This week Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced that EPA is scrapping the CPP.This is big.
CFACT has been been exposing and fighting this destructive plan since its inception.
EPA devised its authority for the CPP by converting 80 words in the Clean Air Act into 2,690 pages of regulations and appendices. The unprecedented plan required that utilities return the nation's overall CO2 emissions almost to 1975 levels, while our population grows by a projected 40 million.
The CPP would have cost a fortune to tax and ratepayers and would have chased still more American manufacturing jobs overseas.
CFACT's Adam Houser attended the announcement and posted details at CFACT.org:"The Affordable Clean Energy rule — ACE — gives states the regulatory certainty they need to continue to reduce emissions and provide affordable and reliable energy for all Americans… The contrast between our approach and the Green New Deal, or plans like it, couldn't be clearer. Rather than Washington telling Americans what type of energy they can use, or how they can travel, or even what they can eat, we are working cooperatively with the states to provide affordable, dependable, and diverse supply of energy that continues to get cleaner and more efficient."
While the federal government loosens the regulatory screws on our energy economy, state and local governments are moving in the wrong direction.
The New York legislature adopted a whopper. We posted details at CFACT.org:The New York State Legislature just passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to sign the bill into law. This measure contains new mandates for the state to eliminate net carbon emissions in the next thirty years, by 2050, equal to just 15 percent of the 1990 levels. By 2040, just two decades from now, 100 percent of the state's electricity generation is supposed to come from "renewable" resources, such solar and wind power.
The new law also authorizes numerous state agencies to issue regulations to achieve greenhouse gas emission limits that govern nearly every aspect of the private economy, including energy, health, housing, transportation, agriculture, economic development, and utilities. And, the new climate law also must be considered when agencies issue any permits, contracts, licenses "and other administrative approvals and decisions."
Climate change policy now governs everything in the state of New York.
New York had better watch out. Business owners and the middle class are fleeing states like California that impose unaffordable energy and climate policies. If New York's not careful Wall Street and the rest of it producers could very well shrug and bid the Empire State adieu.
In short, this week saw a huge step in the right direction at the federal level and a huge step in the wrong direction in New York.
America needs an affordable, abundant energy future. When energy costs rise, people and businesses vote with their feet.
Policymakers take notice.
For nature and people too,

Just a suggestion.. wouldn't want to be thought of as being "bossy" but now we all have our tickets, shall we move off the pre-sale thread, and onto a Dublin thread?
It was a pre recorded ad and I think they expected the 1st 2 shows to sell a lot quicker than they have. Hopefully we will get our third date.

over the weekend. she also said "thats not to say things could change on Monday"
Leonard Cohen gig if she she gets to go, we checked out ticket master but only tickets now in the furthest block.
did someone on here say they purchased tickets and is selling at face value, cant find that mail now.

I see the POD site claims that the first concert sold out in 10 minutes, and the other "within hours".
Still not marked "sold out" on Ticketmaster, though; very confusing for those still trying to get tickets.
Well POD are full of crap because the second concert sold out first and it was well after lunch as I kept checking back in the hope of getting better tickets. At 5.28pm there was still tickets available for the 1st concert, however only when doing searches for one ticket. Searches for 2 or more tickets came back as unavailable.
musicmania wrote: Well POD are full of crap .
No wonder POD and Ticketmaster couldn't get their act together to have seating charts available on time.
No wonder some posts express cynicism and disillusionment with the whole process.
And yet.... And yet... Kyla's post on this thread: "Cannot wait for LC " is hard to disagree with!

Q: Extend list to json file in Python I've got a array saved in a json file looking like this [4.810,-75.700,0.020,11,5.070,-75.520,0.010,11]. I'm using Python to append new 4-tuples to this array.
globe_list = [18.110,-66.170,0.000,11]
json_array = json.dumps(globe_list)
    with open(webgl_file_path + 'tweet_locations.json', 'a') as tf:
        tf.write(json_array)

The problem is, when the file already exists, what I get after the appending is two arrays:
[4.810,-75.700,0.020,11,5.070,-75.520,0.010,11][18.110,-66.170,0.000,11]
Whereas what I want is one array:
[4.810,-75.700,0.020,11,5.070,-75.520,0.010,11, 18.110,-66.170,0.000,11]

If I would load the json array in a list first a could just extend it, but the file is huge and I'm worrying performance issues.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

A: You could try moving the file pointer to the position of the final "]", and then writing the additional json, without the initial "[", like this:
>>> import io
>>> with open('example.json', 'rb+') as f:
...     f.seek(-1, io.SEEK_END)
...     f.write(b', ' + new_json[1:].encode())

Note that this must be done with the file in binary mode.  The above code assumes that the filesystem encoding encodes "]" as a single byte, and that there isn't a newline character(s) and the end of the file.  If either of these conditions hold you would need to adjust the offset passed to seek.

A: You could read the file as a string, remove the last ']', convert globe_list to string, remove its first '[' and write back the appended string.
f = open(webgl_file_path + 'tweet_locations.json')
cont = f.read()
del f[len(f) - 1]
jsonstr = str(globe_list)[1:]
final_cont = cont + jsonstr
close(f)
w = open(webgl_file_path + 'tweet_locations.json', 'w')
w.write(final_cont)

I suppose this won't be very fast, but it would be definitely more performant than using json.load / json.dump and extending the list, since this involves only string read/write and manipulation.

Much has been said and written about the scourge of child labour, worldwide as well as in India. The malady has had a chequered history for centuries, with societies and governments adopting approaches suited to the ethos and culture of their environments at different times.
rom the second half of the previous century, however, it has been accepted universally that employing children for work is a pernicious practice. As a result, several measures have been taken, legal, policy and operational, by various countries including our own.
More than 19 million children in Bangladesh, from 20 of the country's 64 districts, are most vulnerable to the disastrous consequences of climate change, warned the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in a new report.

Q: How can I theme the remaining epsilon of my Wordpress site? I am working on a Wordpress site, presently at http://dev.cjshayward.com, with a child theme of twentysixteen. For now the only customization I have is the style.css, although slightly down the road I want to edit e.g. the 404 page to include the interesting parts of https://cjshayward.com/missing.html. The two changes I am most interested in now are meant to be usable and boring in the best sense of the term: underlined blue links for unvisited pages and underlined purple for visited, and no text smaller than the default font size.
My changes have affected most text as desired, but the logo link "CJS Hayward" at the top left is black unless you hover over it, and some internal links are a different shade of blue (N.B. different from where they were copied, where they are the default color). I've tried inspecting the elements in question from Chrome's debugger, and Chrome shows my overrides as active and (with a little help from !important) contrary colorings and sizings as inactive, but those holdouts look like plain old untweaked twentysixteen.

How can I get the top "CJS Hayward" link, and the widget h2's in the right column, to be respectively colored and sized by rules I define in the child style.css?

A: If I understand you correctly, you want all your links (include .site-branding) to be blue, and all visited to be red for example.
If so, your css rules must be:
body, button, .entry-footer, input, select, .site-title, textarea, .widget, .widget-title, h2.widget, h2.widget-title
{
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans !important;
    font-size: 20px !important;
}
a, a:link {
    text-decoration: underline;
    color: blue;
}
a:visited {
    color: red;
}
a:hover {
    //color for cover;
}
a:active {
    color: #800000
}

The link states must be defined in this order, according w3schools
If you want to style your logo differently, then you can use .site-branding .site-title a

A: If you want to style the logo and the widget title, add this in child's style.css
.site-branding .site-title a,
.widget .widget-title {
   background: #0000ee;
}

Music and Wellbeing – a sociological perspective
by Nuné Nikoghosyan · Published 20/01/2017 · Updated 20/01/2017
By Nuné Nikoghosyan
This contribution is based on a talk at the panel "Music and wellbeing – an interdisciplinary approach" together with participants Marc Scialom (musician, therapist) and Denis Chappuis (sound therapist) on the 27.09.2016, during the week themed "Arts and health: the role of music in the promotion of health and wellbeing" of the Master of Advanced Studies in Public Health at the Institute of Global Health, University of Geneva.
In the context of an interdisciplinary panel discussion, in front of an audience that consists mainly of medical practitioners, what may sociology have to say about the link between music and health? It must perhaps first of all be mentioned that the link between music (or culture) and health is somewhat less studied to this day from a sociological perspective compared to other disciplines, such as psychology, medicine, psychotherapy, and neurosciences. Sociology has quite abundant studies and writings in these two fields separately – sociology of music, and sociology of health – but much fewer that combine the two. Sociologist Tia DeNora is one of the few to have done this, and to have built a research group around such questions and to "examine music and the arts in situations of action". There are also sociological studies that discuss these two aspects (music and wellbeing), though the link remains more implicit and needs to be carved out. Pity, because from the few studies we have today, there seems indeed to be much more to be said on this from a sociological viewpoint. The field remains most fruitful for sociology.
To explain the reasons why, let us make use of the list of arguments justifying "Why music?" in the introduction of the edited book Music, Health, and Wellbeing (eds R. MacDonald, G. Kreutz, L. Mitchell, 2012).
First of all, because music is everywhere, it is ubiquitous. It is on the street, in our headphones, on the radio, in supermarkets, train stations… Anywhere where there might otherwise have been noise or, worse yet, silence. As Anahid Kassabian argues in Ubiquitous Listening (2013), we don't even notice this music anymore, but we still listen to it – it still gets inside our brains and affects our perception, be it for the better or worse. But, as much as music is everywhere nowadays, so are questions of health and wellbeing. The number of magazines, websites, blogs, TV shows etc. that give us advice on how to live better (eat, drink, move, relax…) has become abundant nowadays, and is probably growing by the hour. Everyday, "sensational diets" and "scientific discoveries" flood in with the best way to live longer and healthier. We may even have got to a point where we don't notice these anymore, or not as much, being now too used to the idea. Our smartphones now even keep count of the number of steps we've walked during the day, without even us knowing! We can then compare and contrast our physical activity with others', beat our own personal records and generally make sure we move enough to stay healthy.
Second, both health and music have an emotional side to them. Both can stir feelings, to say the least. But emotions are more social and sociological than we may think. In fact, they most often guide us in our social practices and interactions, according to what our "gut tells" us to do, with whom to talk, how to behave, etc., bringing us to sociological basics. This brings us to another point: music can both engage us with and distract from others, hence with an imminent effect on wellbeing, especially psychological. Engagement itself, again, brings us to social interactions, networks, collectives, and other sociological notions.
Third, music is a social production and activity – it takes more than one to make music. There is a strong need to communicate, interact, understand one another, come to an agreement… work together, that is. Let us not forget the works of Howard S. Becker on art as collective action in his famous Art worlds (1982). All art is the result of cooperation, according to the author, though this does not necessarily imply pleasure in doing so. Even when we think the artist is alone, the final work is always the result of a chain of actions done by different people. A musician who, technically, may be playing alone still needs this cooperation and a background work done collectively and/or by others: someone invented the instrument to play on, someone else produced it, someone has surely sold it somewhere for the musician to buy, someone taught the technique (be it a teacher or the author of a written manual), not to mention that the whole notation system pre-exists musicians today. Listening to music has a similar chain of actions and cooperation, for a number of material objects, actions, social procedures and instances are needed for someone to listen to a piece of music, recorded or live. Whether we play or listen to music alone or in groups, we are always doing it with others. Mutual understanding, as implied by the notion of collective action, is essential for social wellbeing, or for the individual's wellbeing in a social context, for if we don't understand one another, the dissonance will undoubtedly not only affect our psychological wellbeing, but also make all things social and collective harder to do. Furthermore, from a sociological perspective, wellbeing in itself can be said to be a social activity rooted in mundane everyday occupations (DeNora 2007) – what we do, and don't do or avoid, for our health.
Fourth, music in itself can be a communication tool, hence as such cannot and shall not escape rigorous analysis by the social sciences. But health and wellbeing also depend on communication between individuals, not only to pass viruses to each other, but also to find and learn how to cure illness, what to do and what to avoid for a better health, etc. We may not find the answers in music itself, but… the communicative dimension of both gives food for thought.
Fifth, both music and wellbeing represent a physical dimension. Playing an instrument or singing are already physical activities, some more intense than others, depending on the instrument. This can even lead to problems of health for professionals who spend long working hours practising (Gembris 2012). But listening also quickly becomes a physical activity: tapping our fingers or feet, getting up to dance and move to the rhythm, eventually leading to distraction and a sense of lightness if stressed (DeNora 2007). The link with wellbeing is apparent here. But, sociology also intervenes as soon as we consider the social side of the human body – how we see, work and control our bodies, especially when music becomes a tool in doing so. Moreover, music, be it through playing or listening, requires embodied knowledge from us, one that we may not even be aware of, as Pierre Bourdieu (1979) explains in his concept of habitus. Music may literally become part of our body by the knowledge it requires and what it makes us do (move, dance, hum, distract ourselves…).
Sixth, and related to the previous point: music can influence behaviour. We find ourselves between different disciplines here – psychology, medicine, neurosciences, sociology, etc. Again, the link between behaviour and wellbeing should be clear enough for us not to detail it further, not to say the least because most often behaviour affects health and health affects behaviour. But behaviour is as much individual as social, implying social interactions, our relations to others, social norms, ways of thinking, and much more that lie in the realm of sociology.
Lastly, music influences identities. When we meet someone for the first time, especially at a younger age, and we try to make out what the person is like (in terms of personality, behaviour, etc.), one of the first questions we ask, if not the first question, is "What do you listen to?" It is perhaps more rare to ask from the beginning "What do you read?" or "What do you watch?" In fact, we often use elements of cultural taste to judge and categorize people and their personalities (even sociologists do it in private!). But music seems to be the most influential item in cultural taste for doing this. According to our judgement of the artist or musical genre the person listens to ("cool", "modern", "nerdy", "outdated" etc.), we categorize the individual similarly. There perhaps should be no doubt that such categorization, of which music is only one example, has its own influence on the individual's wellbeing, especially at a psychological level. Let us not forget sociologist Erving Goffman's writings on the perception of self (1956), arguing that individuals act according to what they think is expected of them within a given social situation, hence how they think others see them. How the shaping of identity relates to the perception of the self and the body should be apparent enough if we think of the example of what is commonly known as body image disorders, which in turn can easily lead to both psychological and physical ill health.
Before going further, let us briefly stop to highlight the need to differentiate between certain notions for a better understanding of what music can and can not do for health, especially from a sociological viewpoint (on this, see DeNora & Ansdell 2014). We must first and foremost differentiate between the activities being discussed: are we talking about listening to, playing or composing music? Then, the degree of practice: there is a vast palette, or rather a continuum, between "amateur" and "professional" in any cultural activity. This becomes even more important when we consider that the benefits may surpass drawbacks in the case of amateurs who listen to, play or compose for leisure, but the effect may even be reversed in the case of professionals (Gembris 2012). The third distinction concerns the type of music: is it a song or an instrumental piece? In case of a song, what language are the lyrics in? Do we understand the language and the lyrics? Would we have liked or disliked the same song if the lyrics were written in another language or translated? And so on… Lastly, we must be clear on the musical genre in question, from pop to classical, not forgetting all the hundreds of sub-genres in-between.
Let us now turn our attention to the practices of cultural activities, because health and wellbeing, as mentioned above, are rooted in everyday actions, including cultural ones (Macdonald et al. 2012b: 6). In fact, music is the most consumed form of culture today. Around 2,5 billion CDs were shipped around the world in 1999 (Kassabian 2013: 1) and online streaming services make music even easier to find today. Switzerland is no exception in terms of the importance of music in the people's cultural activities. According to the statistical data on cultural practices and activities in Switzerland, in 2008 every one in five people played a musical instrument, and around 16% of the population practised singing (OFS 2011). Some years later, in 2014, the numbers are still quite high, though the tendency is reversed and there are now more people who sing (19%) than play an instrument (17%) (OFS 2016). But, the approximate proportion of 16-20% of individuals that practice music more or less regularly is high enough for us to consider its effects seriously. In fact, some studies in psychology argue that people who regularly engage in a cultural activity declare feeling less lonely than those who don't (Kreutz et al. 2012: 458), which should not surprise us considering the social aspects of cultural activities, especially music, or art as collective action as discussed above.
We can thus further argue, following Tia DeNora's writings (2007), that music is a "technology of self", or a technology that allows us to consciously regulate our mood, feelings, interactions, etc. It is a tool for the active construction of identity. The examples are numerous when it comes to our everyday use of music for such ends, from putting music on to dance to, to cook and clean up to, to do aerobics to, etc. Music is what helps keep the rhythm, for everyone to do the same movement at the same time and in the same way during aerobics classes, for example. But it can also help us do our work! Some 80% of people say they listen to music at work, about 35% of the time (Hallam 2016: 496). Listening to music during work may help concentrate, cut off the noise, create a pleasant atmosphere in the office, avoid boredom, etc. (Kassabian 2013: 9). This brings us back to the argument of music as "technology of self", especially in certain social contexts such as when we use music to calm ourselves before speaking in public or participating in an event that may cause stress and anxiety.
To sum up, music is not only in itself a social activity, requiring shared understandings and ways of doing, but may further help regulate individual behaviour, collective activities and social situations. Health, too, can be seen as a social activity that is carried out in everyday situations and through mundane activities, including cultural. While the mutual influences between music and health have been studied from different disciplinary perspectives, still more work remains to be done, especially for the social sciences.

39 deviants said I should ignore those comments completely, and not even consider trading with them. I would feature comments with correct information instead, for me to pick from.
33 deviants said I should reply to them telling them to actually read the journal and then comment again.
11 deviants said I should simply hide all comments with wrong or no information.
- The kind of picture they would make (examples appreciated).
Last time I opened art trades, a glorious 50% of all comments did it wrong, and it was a pain to ask for people to actually read what I typed. Same thing with other things I organize or journals, people just. Don't. Bother. To. Read.
Thing is, I want to know what I will have to draw and get in return before I'd accept the trade, and people still commented with "I'll tell you what I want as soon as you accept!" NO???
That's not even a lot of info either like are people that lazy and feel like that they need to be quick not correct?
I even wrote in the journal that it was NOT first come first serve, but they didn't bother to read that either.

Choose and Defend: Beauty or Savage Beast?
You're in line at the Golden Arches when you notice an odd looking fellow staring at you. He's wearing a wise smile and a trucker cap with "Muff Dive" silk screened across the front.
"What's with the hat, buddy?" you ask.
"It's ironic," he says. "Do you like it?"
"Honestly, it's a little tacky, but whatever. It's not like we're somewhere classy like Red Lobster."
He laughs and pockets a handful of ketchup packets. "You know I'm a genie, right?" he says.
"Of course you are. That's why you're waiting for a takeout order at Mickey D's."
"Well, my powers are very limited," he says. "My only two moves are to make people incredibly beautiful or hideously ugly."
"Why the hell would anybody ask you to make them hideously ugly?" you ask.
"Oh, there's always a catch with these things," the McGenie says. "With the beauty comes a series of chronic but non-fatal maladies: uncontrollable flatulence, halitosis, an inexplicable obsession with Antonio Fargas, that kind of thing. With the ugly you're really ugly — I mean, "don't leave the house" ugly. You'll scare children. Dogs will hate you. You're pretty much guaranteed a life of loneliness, but your inner life will be rich beyond your wildest dreams. I'm talking creativity, faith, whatever floats your self-satisfaction boat."
"Tough choice," you say.
"So you can see why I don't get a lot of work," the genie says. "Also — once you choose, there's no turning back. So, how about it?"
The cashier wipes his nose with his palm then hands the genie a white bag containing his filet-o-fish. "See you tomorrow, Jerry," he says. The cashier is easily the most handsome man you've ever seen, but his nose will not stop dripping.
The genie stops at the door. "Last chance," he says. "What's it going to be?"
Make your choice and defend it in the comments section below, and come on people, Let's make Laura B. proud.

msmollyflores says:
Well, if I'm beautiful with halitosis and flatulence I'll probably end up pretty lonely no matter how beautiful I am. So I'll go with ugly. If I'm going to be alone, sounds like a way better deal to be fulfilled.
A well reasoned defense….
I've seen lots of beautiful people. They are invariably popular in that we average folks tend to flock around them. But beauty seems to not necessarily bring love and spiritual peace, just a lot of attention. I vote for the aesthetically challenged but fulfilling life.
I guess I'd have to go with ugly too. Then I'd get jobs acting in horror movies and save up enough cash for some plastic surgery.
Robbo — always with the loophole!
Ugly, 100% – not only because I love all of the little extras it comes with, but frankly, I like making little kids cry. So there's that.
All of my beautiful friends choose ugly. That's interesting…


On a recent outing to celebrate St. Patrick's day weekend I spent time with with a diverse group of people, in a typically RED state. It was during my many conversations I discovered as much as this president has polarized the country and divided many of us. Civil discourse still exists in this country.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that regardless of the differences among democrats and republicans regarding policy, most all Americans want civility. Most all Americans will not tolerate alienating people You may try but you can't take away the core beliefs of people, that all persons are created equal and treating people with such ugliness is not in our DNA…I'm sorry but enough is enough echo's the message from America's heartland. God bless America and all it's diverse people, from the Irish to the Jews to Italians and Scottish and Hispanic, African American, German, to women to sexual orientation, and so many more…..
Learning that made this Saint Patricks day special!!!!

In this time of great change and upheaval, you may presently feel the need to make significant life, career and family decisions. Like many others, you are now beginning to question the values of a purely materialistic, status-obsessed and goal-orientated society and wish to move toward regaining your own true self-awareness and authentic sense of vocation. Tiredness has become the new norm, as many individuals who are physically healthy experience difficulty in falling asleep, and/or find themselves often waking up at intervals during the night. This chronic insomnia inevitably leads to a daytime experience of stress or depression. Medications may relieve symptoms in the short term, but can lead to dependence or addiction if taken over a longer period.

It's costly and has unpredictable consequences
"It's costly and has unpredictable consequences. That makes it a very bad business model. I suppose both companies have agendas that are not visible in court and perhaps Apple is signaling to other parties, and perhaps Samsung is using it to raise its profile. It still seems that unintended consequences may arise and the result could be very bad for everybody,'' said Horace Dediu, founder of equity-research firm Asymco, in an e-mail interview with The Korea Times.
The above was a quote from the article Samsung can't afford to lose Apple fight by Yoo-chul Kim from The Korea Times. Yoo-chul contacted me via email with a series of questions. I want to share all his questions and my answers as well:
Samsung wides market gap with Apple, according to research firms.
You think the gap will further be widen and please tell me why
As Samsung converts its phone portfolio to be all smartphones, it is very likely to reach much higher smartphone volumes. One year ago Samsung sold about 56 million feature phones. Last quarter it sold about 43 million. The smartphone portion increased from 20 million to 50 million. At the same time, Apple has maintained a growth in its smartphone business of about 100% on a yearly basis. I expect that to continue into 2013 as well. Therefore it's possible that Samsung could sell 290 million smartphones in the next 12 months and Apple could sell about 200 million in the same time frame.
However, it's important to understand that the companies compete on different bases. What I mean is that what generates a profit (i.e. payment by the consumer above what a product costs) is different for each company. Apple is a platform company that sells access to the iOS ecosystem across many other device types. Samsung sells consumer electronics with limited "network effects" but desirable features. In this view, the gap in device sales is "asymmetric" and not reflective of the actual competition which is between Google's Android and Apple's iOS as forms of access.

via Apple Makes Good on Steve Jobs's Promise, Invites Other Advertisers. But What About Google's AdMob? | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD.
Apple is stating that user data must be handled by organizations that are strictly independent. If the ad service provider is part of an organization that either competes with Apple's devices or platform, it's not independent.
AdMob would have been allowed to operate unhindered on iOS but AdMob as part of Google is not.
Conversely, if Google were to abandon Android, the path to riches would be open again. As shown several times already, by pursuing a mobile device platform Google strategically abandoned some significant revenue opportunities in exchange for some extraordinarily high costs.
Readers of this blog should not be surprised.

HTC to pay Microsoft for Android
While Apple's patent lawsuit against HTC remains ongoing, the Taiwanese handset maker has reached a licensing agreement with Microsoft to avoid another lawsuit over its Android-powered handsets.

The Tale of the Spitzer Bullet Patent Lawsuit
Apropos the IP lawsuit between Apple and HTC, it's perhaps instructive to look back at memorable patent suits. The following excerpt tells the story of how patent royalties were litigated for weapons that the litigants also used as belligerents against each other.
The tale shows that not even global war can affect the outcome of patent law.
From American Rifle http://www.amazon.com/American-Rifle-Biography-Alexander-Rose/dp/0553805177, Roosevelt's Rifle Chapter, Pages 271-278.
On April 5 1905 the Treasury approved royalty payments of 75 cents per rifle plus 50 cents per thousand clips, up to a ceiling of $200,000. Seven months later, on Novemeber 6, Mauser's accountants were pleased to receive the first (for $11,367.53) in a four-year-long series of checks adding up to the $200,000 maximum.
[General William Crozier who became Chief of Ordance of the Army in 1901 overseeing production for the nation's weapons] made an energetic start on the new .30-06 bullet, introduced on October 15, 1906. Early the following year he received an ominous visit from a very polite but insistent representative of Deutsche Waffen Munitionsfabriken (DWM), maker of the Spitzer bullets for the Mauser rifle. The .30-06, he said, was a near-copy of DWM's "projectile for hand-firearms", which had been submitted to the Patent Office on February 20, 1905–about the same time, suspiciously, that Crozier had been finalizing the financial details of the settlement with Mauser–and approved on January 22, 1907.
The good news was that DWM had a far weaker case than Mauser's–it was difficult to demonstrate that the shape and dimensions of such a common item as a bullet were unique–and Crozier's patent attorneys advised him to fight the case. Crozier, again fearful that the newspapers would find out about this charge (even if it was trumped up by an opportunistic DWM), decided to fend off the accusers by stalling. He appointed his deputy, Lieutenant Colonel John Thompson (inventor-to-be of the famous tommy gun), to take care of the negotiations in the hope that they would go on for years.
In the summer of 1914 [8 years after the accusation] his deputy Thompson had finally run out the clock regarding Ordnance's alleged infringement of DWM bullet patents. DWM had made repeated offers to Thompson asking him to settle quickly, and each time they had been rebuffed. On July 18, 1914, less than a month before the outbreak of the cataclysmic Great War, in which millions of men would be killed by pointed bullets, DWM finally lost its patience and sued the government in the U.S. Court of Claims for royalties on 250 million Spitzer bullets totaling $250,000. Ten days later, when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, the suit was deferred.
Crozier's position was saved by the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and the U.S. declaration of war on Germany in April 1917. Upon entry to the war, under authority of the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government created the Office of Alien Property Custodian to oversee the seizure of enemy-owned or enemy-controlled assets. To Crozier's immense relief, the DWM patent was ruled to be U.S. property, and the attorney general dismissed the company's suit out of hand.
Crozier retired in 1919 and escaped the censure for the fallout from a reinvigorated lawsuit launched by DWM in 1920 [two years after the WWI ended]. Having given up on obtaining a favorable patent-infringement judgement, DWM's lawyers focused on whether the alien property custodian's seizure of the patent had been lawful. Impressed by DWM's argument that its bullet was protected by previous treaty, a tribunal ruled the U.S. government in violation and awarded DWM damages of $300,000.
Washington immediately appealed the decision, and the case lurched on interminably, for another seven and a half years, until it was finally settled on the last day of 1928, a generation after its beginning. The judgement stood. With interest added on the original $300,000, the United States owed a German company $412,520.55 [for the rights to the bullet they used against Germany in two World Wars].
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_1903 "Still, the 1903's used so many design features from the German Mauser that the U.S. government paid royalties to Mauserwerke"

Why HTC?
In the suit against HTC, Apple's listed infringing phones include HD2, Touch Pro2, Tilt2, Imagio, Pure and Touch Diamond. These all run Windows Mobile and not Android. HTC shipped 80% of the Windows Mobile units in the field, a far larger volume than Android so it stands to reason that the law suit is as much targeting Windows Mobile as Android.
In 2006 Microsoft announced that their partners/OEMs/Operators will get indemnification on IP suits regarding their OS. It's not a sure thing that Apple's patents cover any part of the Windows Mobile stack–vs. whatever parts HTC layered on top. However, there is a high probability that Microsoft will join Google in HTC's defense.
I should also point out that the media's emphasis on Google as the exclusive target of the suit is sensationalistic. Focusing on Google possibly misses a hidden agenda.
Namely that Apple is attacking the hub of the modular approach to mobile computing while largely leaving the integrated vendors like Palm and RIM alone (the dispute with Nokia is over license terms for GSM patents and not yet about UI patents).
Therefore it's entirely likely that HTC was singled out to disrupt the business logic of modular mobile software. HTC is the pioneer and the hub as the largest licensee for both WinMo/WinP and Android and the inspiration for hundreds of OEM/ODMs to make modular products.
HTC's defense will be complicated and difficult due to these dependencies. Legal risk weighs heavily on large corporations, especially when the payoff is marginal at best. Other vendors looking at this licensing model might think harder about participating, and that may be the whole point.

Suiting Up
Well, I don't want to talk about any specific company. I'm just making a general statement that we think competition is good. It makes us all better. And we are ready to suit up and go against anyone. However, we will not stand for having our IP ripped off, and we'll use whatever weapons that we have at our disposal. I don't know that I could be more clear than that.
Tim Cook, my favorite Apple exec, in January 2009.
One thing should be obvious: the accusations against HTC are aimed at Google and Microsoft or more broadly still, they are aimed at any mobile software competitor that intends to use touch and gesture inputs.
When Jobs said in 2007
We've been pushing the state of the art in every facet of this design. We've got the multi-touch screen, miniaturization, OS X in a mobile device, precision enclosures, three advanced sensors, desktop class applications, and the widescreen video iPod. We filed for over 200 patents for all the inventions in iPhone and we intend to protect them.
he implied that Apple had approached this new input method with much more care than when they introduced the mouse and windowing interfaces in 1984.
Unlike the fight over Windows, which was a copyright debate, this will be all about patents. Apple ultimately lost the GUI fight over the MasOS windowing interface, which is why I think they are much more prepared this time.
Given this strategic intent, the only questions were how the war would be engaged and on what terms. A few skirmishes caused some head fakes.
First, came apparent threats against Palm. Apple was certainly debating going after Palm, but I think they realized it would not be a good strategy. Mostly because the signal would be weak. There would be few consequences to Palm being punished. Palm's integrated model is not employed by many of the larger device vendors. Except for Nokia, all other vendors license their OS, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and Motorola would not be infused with anxiety over Plam taking a hit.
Second, came the pre-emptive attack from Nokia. Apple was not ready to go after Nokia last year because Nokia did not yet have a UI "worthy of being infringing". In other words, there was no target to shoot at. Nokia's suit was pre-emptive in that it centered on their desperate wish to have a cross-license agreement–trading GSM patents for touch patents.
That skirmish should not detract from what's the real goal here: securing monopoly rights to mobile computing interfaces.

Everything Google Announced At I/O 2019 That Matters
May 8, 2019, 9:00am
It's Google I/O time, the annual smorgasboard of all things Android. This includes updates to the mobile operating system, newer (and cheaper) smartphones, various smarthome gadgets that are helpful (with a few caveats), and news about the latest additions to Google's plate—including its much-anticipated Stadia game-streaming platform and the debut of Android Auto that's finally front-and-center in a real, you-can-buy-it vehicle!
The Biggest News From The Google I/O Opening Keynote
Google I/O kicked off this morning, with the search giant showing off a bunch of new tech. Although the event is pitched at developers, it gives a strong indication of the kinds of things we will see in the near future. Here are some of the highlights.

All The New Features Coming To Google Lens
Harrison Weber
May 10, 2018, 12:15pm
Lens is Google's experimental, camera-powered search engine, but up until today, the service was buried inside Google's Assistant and the Google Photos app. Lens still isn't getting its own standalone app, but now Google is merging the feature into the default camera apps on a handful of Android devices, including the Pixel. With new prominence, Google is updating Lens with a handful of features that should land on your phone sometime "over the next few weeks".
Google Maps Is About To Get Way Smarter
Google's annual I/O developer's conference always provides an exciting swathe of Google-related updates and improvements to their services and so far, it's delivering. Their key messaging this year is solving problems with AI and with the incoming upgrades to Google Maps, their advanced AI and algorithms will help you find things to do, places to eat and organise getting together with your friends.
Everything We Learned About Android P Today At Google I/O

Is it going to be called Pumpkin Pie or Peppermint Patty? Or how about Popsicle? Well, whatever Google ends up deciding on, if history is any indication, we're not going to know for sure until spring. So to hold us over, why don't we take a look at all the new updates and features Google showed off for Android at I/O 2018?
Google's Coolest Tech Is Getting Harder And Harder To See
Michael Nunez
Google always uses its annual I/O developer conference as a place to trot out some of its biggest and most exciting product updates. You'd be forgiven for feeling like this year was kind of a dud. There were no new gadgets, no new moonshot projects, and not even cool new swag like Google Cardboard headsets. The keynote was essentially just a boring two-hour lecture about small, incremental updates to existing products.
Four things You Need To Know From Google I/O
Google I/O is the search and advertising giant's annual shindig for developers. This year, you could tick a few items off your buzzword bingo cards as they made a number of big announcements about mobile, security, AI - even Gmail received some love. Here are a few of the key announcements.
Everything New About Android From Google I/O
May 18, 2017, 11:00am
Today at the annual Google I/O developer conference, we learned about all the updates coming to the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, dubbed Android O for now -- at least until its official release later this year. This is the eighth version of the OS (Android 8.0), and even though we've seen some of the additions in the developer preview that launched in March, there's a whole swath of new goodies that Google highlighted at the show. So, without further adieu, here are all the new updates coming to Android.
The Best And Worst Of Google I/O 2017 (So Far...)
Another Google I/O keynote has happened and, again, we have mixed feelings about what we saw. Apparently, the search giant is shifting from being mobile-first to being AI-first. What does that mean? Who the hell knows.
Here's The Schedule For Google I/O 2017

Google I/O 2014: Everything You Need To Know
Angus Kidman
Jun 26, 2014, 6:00am
Google's I/O 2014 conference today saw a host of new announcements, from the next version of Android to the new Android TV platform. We've rounded up all the crucial details in one handy post.
All The New Stuff In Android L
The next version of Android is on its way. Unveiled at Google I/O 2014, the new version is called Android L. Here's a roundup of what it will offer.
The Best Improvements Coming To The Chromecast This Year
Google showed off some upcoming improvements to the Chromecast at Google I/O 2014 today. Here's what's coming.
Chrome OS Will Run Android Apps Natively, Sync With Android Devices
At its Google I/O 2014 developer conference, Google announced that Chrome OS will now support Android apps natively. Chromebooks will run them on-screen in their own windows. Notifications from phones and tablets such as new messages and low-battery warnings will sync as well.
Google Unveils Android TV, Brings Android To The Big Screen
At its Google I/O 2014 developer conference today, Google unveiled Android TV, an embedded platform that will come preinstalled on HDTVs and other devices, allowing you to control your big screen with your Android phone or tablet.
How Google I/O Is Trying To Make Registration Fairer
The announcement of Google's annual I/O developer conference has uusally resulted in a mad scramble as developers race to register. This year, Google is trying to eliminate that issue by randomly selecting attendees for the event, which takes place on 25 and 26 June in San Francisco.
Four Features We Want To See In Android (And How To Get Them)
Google didn't announce a new version of Android at Google I/O, its annual developer conference last week, leaving our devices feeling sad and unloved. Android 4.3 may still be on the way soon, but for now, here's what we wish Google had announced -- and how you can get many of these features right now.
Google Compute Engine Now Open To All Users
A backend change from Google that snuck in amongst all the high-profile changes to search, Google+ and Google Now at Google I/O: its Google Compute Engine (GCE) infrastructure-as-a-service offering is now open to anyone.

Q: angular не работает в HTML из сервера PHP Я начинающий web-программист, не судите строго с:
Не работает angular в HTML из сервера PHP,код HTML приходит с сервера, а angular не читает свои директивы в этом куске кода к примеру:
   вот на сервере я отдаю HTML с angular выражением
echo "
{{1+2}}
";

вот frontend
app.controller('btnCtrl',function($scope,$http,$sce){

       $scope.sce = $sce;
       $scope.showBlock = function(e){

          $http({url:"/product/form",method:"post"}).then(
             function success(res){

               //в dataHtml хранится
{{1+2}}
 строка из PhP
               $scope.dataHtml = res.data;
               console.log(res);
             },
            function error(res){
              console.log(res);
            });
     }
});

вот index.html

выводится у меня что-то типа {{1+2}}
а хочется что бы 3
думал может есть какая нибудь функция в angular на такой случай. Функция которая говорит: angular!!! смотри у тебя появились еще выражения прочти их! и он такой Ок бро и выводит 3 вместо {{1+2}} ))))
angularjs/1.7.2
всё на фрэймврке Yii2 .
надеюсь вопрос понятный )

A: Вам для этого надо сообщить анугляру, что пришел текст с выражением и его надо обрабатывать. Для этого существует $compile сервис.
Пример.

angular
  .module("myModule", [])
  .controller("myController", ['$scope', '$compile', function($scope, $compile) {
    $scope.txt = "result = {{1+2}}";
    $scope.submit = function() {
      var html = $compile($scope.txt)($scope);
      var $elem =  angular.element(display);
      $elem.empty();
      $elem.append(html);
    }
  }]);

    <textarea ng-model="txt"></textarea>
    <input type="button" value="submit" ng-click="submit()" />

P.S. Хоть данный ответ и решает вашу проблему, то что вы хотите сделать, делается в ангуляре совсем не так. Что бы показать блок, не надо запрашивать html у сервера. Данный html должен загружаться по роутингу как компонент или уже быть на странице.
