17.00-18.00 Discussion What can Super Linguistics do?
In recent years, formal linguistic methodology and methodology inspired by formal linguistics have been systematically applied to non-standard objects of study. Three core areas that have been explored encompass the syntax/semantics of gestures (Lascarides & Stone 2009, Giorgolo 2010, Ebert and Ebert 2014, Tieu et al. 2017, Schlenker 2018), the syntax/semantics of body movement beyond gestures, such as dance (Napoli & Kraus 2015, Charnavel 2016, Patel-Grosz et al. 2018), and the calls and gestures of non-human animals, in particular primates (Fitch and Hauser 2004, Yip 2006, Berwick et al. 2011, Schlenker et al. 2016).
All of these domains are structured systems of communication that are 'outside' of language, whether that be because they are performed by humans who do not use language for functional or expressive reasons (gesture and dance) or because they are performed by nonhuman primates without the capacity for human language. The workshop's emphasis on body movements in particular allows a potential bridge between the communicative and narrative actions by humans and their evolutionary antecedents in primate gestures (Kersken et al. 2018).

Q: Can't open SQL 2005 Express database from solution explorer We are having a problem with Visual Studio 2008 Professional, where opening a SQL express database from Solution explorer only opens the file in binary form.
We thought that the wrong application might be set, but using open with and selecting SQL express bootstrapper still yields the same result.
We can open the database file if we use the server explorer data connections window and connect to the file.
Any ideas?

A: Well as far as I know you can't view the database in the solution explorer.
Use the server explorer or SQL Server Management Studio Express.
If you have a mdf file you want to include into your project, place it into the App_Data folder.

Kenosha Sheriff deputy's widow upset about portable toilets placed on monument
Widow upset about portable toilets placed on monument
By: Rebecca Klopf
The widow of a fallen Kenosha County Sheriff deputy is hurt and demanding an apology after portable toilets were placed near a law enforcement memorial during Fourth of July celebrations.
There are now only outlines and trash left where the portable toilets stood along the bricks of the Kenosha Public Safety Monument.
"I come here all the time. They shouldn't have done it," said Amy Fabiano, pausing to choke back tears. "It disrespectful."
Amy's husband's name, Frank Fabiano Jr., has been etched into the memorial for 10 years.
"They protected and served the community," Amy said.
She shakes her head, seeing the mess left behind.
"You put porta potties and there's garbage all over," she said.
Frank Fabiano served as a deputy for 18 years before he was killed during a traffic stop, leaving behind a wife and young daughter. Amy says it was their daughter who told her what happened.
"I got a call, 'Mom how could they do this,'" Amy said. She could not give her a good answer.
PATS Service, who put up the portable toilets, said the city determined where they would be placed.
"We just do what the city of Kenosha tells us. We meet them out here every year in the morning and they drive us to every location," said driver and employee Dakota Siegler.
People in Kenosha were surprised by the choice.
"That's not right," said resident Justice Smith.
"It's a memorial so it should be recognized and given respect," said Areliz Ramirez, who lives just across the border in Illinois.
Amy has a message now for those responsible.
"I think everybody for every name that is on that wall deserves an apology," Amy said.
TODAY'S TMJ4 did reach out to the mayor's office for a comment but he did not return our call or email. He did tell the Kenosha News that the placement was an oversight and the porta potties would be put somewhere else next year.
Amy was also upset to see all the trash still left surrounding the memorial, a day later.

All eyes and ears will be on Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve tomorrow as it wraps up its two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and updates us on the direction of monetary policy.
Investors and traders will be listening for any clues regarding the "tapering," or gradual reduction, of the Fed's quantitative easing, or bond-buying, program.
In a research note to clients today, Societe Generale's Alain Bokobza looks back at Japan's experience with QE tapering in 2006.
"In March 2006, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced the exit from QE, amid signs that activity was accelerating and the economy was emerging from deflation," noted Bokobza. "The BoJ exit provides interesting insights regarding what we may expect from the Fed in the coming quarters."
During the quarters around the end of QE, 10y Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yields increased by almost 100bp; from 1.1% at mid-2005 to 2.0% in May 2006.
The Nikkei declined by 20% between April and June 2006 after having increased by 60% in the preceding 12 months (see chart). The sell-off was nonetheless short lived.
The exit from QE in Japan was conducted in just 3-4 months, mainly by reducing the amount of bills purchased from private banks, i.e. the most flexible asset on the BoJ's balance sheet. Holdings of longer-term JGBs were reduced very slowly and moderately; the BoJ actually kept in place its regular purchases of longer-term JGBs. The BoJ also implemented liquidity operations to ensure the stability of interbank money markets.

Sound & Light (Physics): How are They Different?
How to Label a Binocular Microscope
••• Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images
How Do Bright Light Microscopes Work?
By David Chandler
A distinguishing feature of the binocular microscope is the use of two eyepieces rather than the monocular microscopes' use of just one. As a compound microscope, binocular microscopes use two lenses to magnify the image: an ocular lenses and objective lenses. Simple microscopes, by comparison, have only one lens through which the image is magnified. Understanding the parts and features of a binocular microscope allows greater use of the microscope in the examination of specimens.
Identify the eyepieces at the top of the microscope. Binocular microscopes feature two separate eyepieces each with an ocular lens. Both the distance between the eyepieces and the focus of each eyepiece may be adjusted. Label the eyepieces.
Find the nosepiece and objective lenses located beneath the eyepiece. Rotation of the nosepiece allows different objective lenses to be selected, changing the magnification of the specimen. The objective lenses may be changed and usually vary in magnification from 10X to 100X (oil immersion). The total magnification of the specimen is determined by the magnification of the ocular lens in the eyepiece and the magnification of the objective lens being used. Label the nosepiece and objective lenses.
Locate the structure connecting the base of the microscope with the nosepiece. This structure is the arm of the microscope. In addition to providing structural support to the microscope, the arm is used when carrying the microscope. Label the arm.
Identify the stage. The stage is located beneath the objective lenses and holds the specimen at the appropriate distance from the objective lens. The stage is equipped with stage clips to hold the specimen in place. Label the stage.
Locate the iris diaphragm underneath the stage. The diaphragm allows the amount of light passing through the stage to be regulated. Label the iris diaphragm.
Find the coarse and fine adjustment knobs on the side of the microscope. These adjustment knobs allow the image of the specimen to be focused by adjusting the distance between the specimen and the objective lens. The larger of the two knobs is the coarse adjustment knob and allows broad changes in focus. The smaller of the two is the fine adjustment knob. To prevent damage to the specimen or the objective lenses, the coarse adjustment knob should only be used under lower magnification. Label the coarse adjustment knob and the fine adjustment knob.
Identify the light source at the bottom of the microscope. The light source is an electrically powered lamp that provides the light used to view the specimen. Many binocular microscopes are equipped with a lamp rheostat that allows the intensity of the light to be adjusted. A high setting may produce heat sufficient to adversely affect the specimen. Label the light source.
Find the base of the microscope. The base provides structural support to the microscope and is used to safely carry the microscope while the other hand is holding the arm.

Aug 15 The Tanning Tax is a Public Health Success Story [from Health Affairs Blog]
Elisabeth Ryan wrote a piece about the "tanning tax," posted today on the Health Affairs Blog.
Among the lesser known provisions in the now-rejected Republican House and Senate health care bills was a plan to eliminate an excise tax on tanning bed use. Tanning first became fashionable when Coco Chanel popularized the practice in the 1920s, making lounging outside in the sun a symbol of leisure, relaxation, and health. In the late 1970s, pioneering businesses began to offer ultraviolet (UV) radiation beds as a shortcut to fashionable tanned skin; by the 1990s, indoor UV tanning services were ubiquitous staples of the American beauty industry.
Despite its popularity, research has shown that exposure to UV radiation is the primary environmental cause of skin cancer and tanning beds are "the main source of deliberate exposure to artificial UV radiation." Melanoma risk is particularly high among individuals who use tanning beds for the first time before age 35. The practice remains most common with female college students in the United States, with more than 50 percent reporting having used indoor tanning beds. Furthermore, despite their higher risk for melanoma, tanning companies aggressively target this demographic through the use of tailored marketing and advertising techniques.
Both the House and Senate health care bills would have repealed the Affordable Care Act's so-called "tanning tax," a 10 percent consumer-paid tax on non-medical, UV light indoor tanning services. When the tax was enacted in 2010, the non-partisan Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that it would bring in $2.7 billion in revenue over 10 years, and would offset some of the costs of the ACA overall. After four years, however, the tax had only brought in about $367 million, far less than the approximate $1 billion originally projected by that time. Some detractors then declared the tax a "failure" and blamed it for the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.
Yet these arguments discount the notion that the revenue was perhaps a secondary goal of the tax, behind its ability to deter people from engaging in the dangerous pursuit of indoor tanning. Per medical and public health groups, the creation of the tax was "a clear signal from the federal government that indoor tanning is a dangerous and potentially lethal activity that Americans should avoid." The American Academy of Dermatology hailed it as helping to "reduce health costs by discouraging indoor tanning and thereby reducing the future costs of treating skin cancers." From the public health perspective, a lower-than-expected revenue could be indicative of a significant victory.
Unsurprisingly, the indoor tanning industry criticized the tax from the beginning and now blames the tax for closing upwards of 10,000 salon businesses. Salons have the option of collecting the tax directly from consumers or absorbing the tax themselves; one survey of tanning salon owners in Illinois showed that about 80 percent chose the former, adding 10 percent to the consumer charge up front. The owners in that survey also reported that younger clients were more likely to "notice or care" about the price increase than older clients. Indeed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the number of high school students who reported having artificially tanned has decreased by more than half since the enactment of the ACA, from 15.6 percent in 2009 to 7.3 percent in 2015. While this may signify a downturn from a business perspective, deterring younger clients from beginning or continuing indoor tanning is a particularly desirable public health goal, as "young women under the age of 25 who engage in indoor tanning have been shown to be over 60 percent more likely to develop skin cancers such as basal or squamous cell carcinoma compared to those who have never engaged in the behavior."
Given Congressional Republicans' failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the elimination of the tanning tax appears to be off the table, at least for now. But the industry may well push for repeal again, possibly through the tax reform initiative Congress seems poised to address. Before Congress acts, however, it should recall that although the revenues raised by the tax may be relatively small, its true goal should be to reduce indoor tanning, especially among young people. Although far more research is needed to establish causation, the apparent reduction in rates of tanning that has occurred since the tax's enactment suggests that the tax may well be doing its job.

Official mod tools on the way for Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Warhorse Studios has revealed that it is working on official mod tools for Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
In a recent interview with Gamepressure (via PC Gamer), PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling revealed that the tools will let players create much more than is currently possible with Steam Workshop, such as quests.
"Mod support is the last thing we are doing right now, the last thing we want to release for Kingdom Come Deliverance," he said. "Right now, we are working on modding tools so that people can do their own stuff – Steam Workshop is already working, but only with the tools you can write your own quest, for example. We are thinking of a way out to cleverly release that."
The tools will only be available on PC at launch due to Sony and Microsoft not agreeing to support mods for the game yet.
"Unfortunately, consoles are out because they're not supporting this – it's not because we don't want to, but because Microsoft and Sony haven't agreed on anything yet, so I can tell you: PC – yes, and we'll see about the rest, I'm not sure," he explained.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is available now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Me & Nintendo
A grown-up gamer chronicles his lifelong love affair with the peculiar little company from Kyoto.
ABOUT ME/LINKS
Boxy Fox McCloud
Polygons are funny things. Basic, elementary math defines them as "flat, two-dimensional objects," and though they are by definition 2D shapes, in gaming history polygons are representational of the leap AWAY from 2D gaming and INTO 3D gaming.
It makes little sense. But as the processors of home gaming consoles grew in power, designers found that one of the easiest ways to give gamers the sensation of watching physical objects moving through a 3D world was to take polygonal shapes and fold them together like digital origami, a simile that is far more literal than one might imagine. More on that in a bit.
I'm not much qualified to either lecture or opine on the mechanics of game design or the creation of digital images; odds are someone will tell me that modern 3D games are STILL polygonal, but the polygons themselves are microscopic. I don't know; call me a Luddite. What I DO know is that the 3D revolution came in a box, or (more accurately) in many boxes stacked into cubes and other feasible simulations of length, width, and depth.
The polygonal look has not aged well. Classics done up in the low-poly art-style, games particularly from the N64 and PS1 era, are painful and even a little embarrassing to look at now. "I was wowed by THAT?!" we exclaim while looking at screenshots of Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy VII. Yes, we were. The joy of guiding our favorite characters through fully (well, partially) realized three-dimensional spaces was enough to make us forget that the avatars we controlled looked less like our favorite characters and more like something Picasso might have dreamed up in his Cubist phase.
Star Fox, though, was a gaming franchise that was born at a time when it was way hip to be square. The second 3D game developed by Nintendo (the first was a game called X, a little-known FPS for, of all things, the original Game Boy), Star Fox was an on-rails shooter that placed you in the cockpit, or just behind the ship depending on your viewing preference, of an Arwing space fighter piloted by Fox McCloud, the leader of a anthropomorphic quartet of fighter pilots battling against evil space monkeys.
(Never change, Nintendo.)
Star Fox was the first game developed with what Nintendo branded the Super FX chip, a processor that could be inserted into the cartridge of a Super Nintendo game which would allow the game's engine to generate and display 3D polygonal graphics. A full console generation before the launch of the polygon machine known as N64, the boxy design of Fox's fighter and world was as basic a 3D polygonal rendering as could be commercially produced and packaged and sold to consumers… and it was stunning. We knew it was stunning because official propaganda literature, aka Nintendo Power, told us as such, even going so far as to include an actual origami (there it is!) Arwing in one of its many issues devoted to Star Fox.
Razzle-dazzle aside, the truth was that in a sense gamers were suddenly free, no longer confined to digital worlds, controlling characters composed of a series of sprites that in many ways were glorified 2D flip-book art. Even though Star Fox's spaceships and mechs and buildings were barely recognizable as such, the world sped towards us and past us at such a clip that we, the gaming public, scarcely took notice, lest we be distracted from the perpetual thrust of adventure that's characteristic of the on-rail shooter genre. In hindsight, of course, the never-stop on-rails design of Star Fox was likely chosen to distract gamers from the plainness of the world. The second Super FX title, Stunt Race FX, allowed its players to stop and examine the bland emptiness of its 3D world, which could be at least part of the reason why Stunt Race FX was barely a blip on the radar screen while Star Fox launched a respectable (and still running) Nintendo franchise.
Being birthed in polygons, though, has arguably held Star Fox back. The visuals of the latest Star Fox game, Star Fox Zero, hearken back to designs once thought revolutionary but now less attractive to many than old-school 8-bit pixel art. No, the Wii U is not a visual powerhouse, but there was clearly a choice made by Nintendo to maintain the boxy Super FX feel of the Arwings and entire Star Fox universe. True, the biggest criticisms of Zero may be the controversial "aim with the Gamepad" control scheme (full disclosure: I like the controls, though I'm not in a large company in that), but visuals that originated in a twenty-three year old game are a close second.
The irony, of course, is that Star Fox's simple, boxy polygons have arguably aged better than the pretending-to-be-the-future Cubist paintings of the following generation's Ocarina and Mario 64. The difference is, that A.) Star Fox simply is not the game those two masterpieces are, and B.) the visuals in the Mario and Zelda franchises evolve with every iteration. Then why can't Star Fox? Why is Star Fox the franchise that must hold fast to its old look? So throw the one-and-done Star Fox Zero controls aside. The real question facing Nintendo as they move forward with the franchise, I think, goes something like this: must Star Fox remain Star Box to remain Star Fox?

Freedom and truth (Vaera 5777)
The thorny question of why Moses lies to Pharoah condemns a system in which the truth may risk one's life (Vaera)
Jan 26, 2017, 2:02 PM
Why did Moses tell Pharaoh, if not a lie, then less than the full truth? Here is the conversation between him and Pharaoh after the fourth plague, arov, "swarms of insects" (some say "wild animals"):
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God here in the land." But Moses said, "That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? We must take a three-day journey into the wilderness  to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, as He commands us." (Ex. 8:21-23)
Not just here but throughout, Moses makes it seem as if all he is asking is for permission for the people to undertake a three-day journey, to offer sacrifices to God and (by implication) then to return. So, in their first appearance before Pharaoh, Moses and Aaron say:
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Let My people go, so that they may hold a festival to Me in the wilderness.'"
Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey Him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go."
Then they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take  a three-day journey into the wilderness  to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or He may strike us with plagues or with the sword." (Ex. 5:1-3)
God even specifies this before the mission has begun, saying to Moses at the burning bush: "You and the elders of Israel will then go to the king of Egypt. You must tell him, 'The Lord, God of the Hebrews, revealed Himself to us. Now we request that you allow us to take a three day journey into the desert, to sacrifice to the Lord our God'" (3:18).
The impression remains to the very end. After the Israelites have left, we read:
The king of Egypt received news that the people were  escaping. Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds regarding the people, and said, "What have we done? How could we have released Israel from doing our work?" (14:5)
At no stage does Moses say explicitly that he is proposing that the people should be allowed to leave permanently, never to return. He talks of a three day journey. There is an argument between him and Pharaoh as to who is to go. Only the adult males? Only the people, not the cattle? Moses consistently asks for permission to worship God, at some place that is not Egypt. But he does not speak about freedom or the promised land. Why not? Why does he create, and not correct, a false impression? Why can he not say openly what he means?
The commentators offer various explanations. R. Shmuel David Luzzatto (Italy, 1800-1865) says that it was impossible for Moses to tell the truth to a tyrant like Pharaoh. R. Yaakov Mecklenburg (Germany, 1785-1865, Ha-Ktav veha-Kabbalah) says that technically Moses did not tell a lie. He did indeed mean that he wanted the people to be free to make a journey to worship God, and he never said explicitly that they would return.
The Abarbanel (Lisbon 1437 – Venice 1508) says that God told Moses deliberately to make a small request, to demonstrate Pharaoh's cruelty and indifference to his slaves. All they were asking was for a brief respite from their labours to offer sacrifices to God. If he refused this, he was indeed a tyrant. Rav Elhanan Samet (Iyyunim be-Parshot Ha-Shevua, Exodus, 189) cites an unnamed commentator who says simply that this was war between Pharaoh and the Jewish people, and it war it is permitted, indeed sometimes necessary, to deceive.
Actually, however, the terms of the encounter between Moses and Pharaoh are part of a wider pattern that we have already observed in the Torah. When Jacob leaves Laban we read: "Jacob decided to go behind the back of Laban the Aramean, and did not tell him that he was leaving" (Gen. 31:20). Laban protests this behaviour: "How could you do this? You went behind my back and led my daughters away like prisoners of war! Why did you have to leave so secretly? You went behind my back and told me nothing!" (31:26-27).
Jacob again has to tell at best a half-truth when Esau suggests that they travel together: "You know that the children are weak, and I have responsibility for the nursing sheep and cattle. If they are driven hard for even one day, all the sheep will die. Please go ahead of me, my lord" (33:13-14). This, though not strictly a lie, is a diplomatic excuse.
When Jacob's sons are trying to rescue their sister Dina who has been raped and abducted by Shechem the Hivite, they "replied deceitfully" (34:13) when Shechem and his father proposed that the entire family should come and settle with them, telling them that they could only do so if all the males of the town underwent circumcision.
Earlier still we find that three times, Abraham and Isaac, forced to leave home because of famine, have to pretend that they are their wives' brothers not their husbands because they fear that otherwise they will be killed so that Sarah or Rebecca could be taken into the king's harem (Gen. 12, 20, 26).
These six episodes cannot be entirely accidental or coincidental to the biblical narrative as a whole. The implication seems to be this. Outside the Promised Land, Jews in the biblical age are in danger if they tell the truth. They are at constant risk of being killed or at best enslaved.
Why? Because they are powerless in an age of power. They are a small family, at best a small nation, in an age of empires. They have to use their wits to survive. By and large they do not tell lies but they can create a false impression. This is not how things should be. But it is how they were before Jews had their own land, their one and only defensible space. It is how people in impossible situations are forced to be if they are to exist at all.
No one should be forced to live a lie. In Judaism, truth is the seal of God and the essential precondition of trust between human beings. But when your people is being enslaved, its male children murdered, you have to liberate them by whatever means are possible. Moses, who had already seen that his first encounter with Pharaoh made things worse for his people — they still had to make the same quota of bricks but now also had to gather their own straw (5:6-8) — did not want to risk making them worse still.
The Torah here is not justifying deceit. To the contrary, it is condemning a system in which telling the truth may put your life at risk, as it still does in many tyrannical or totalitarian societies today. Judaism — a religion of dissent, questioning and "arguments for the sake of heaven" — is a faith that values intellectual honesty and moral truthfulness above all things. The Psalmist says: "Who shall ascend the mountain of the Lord and who shall stand in His holy place? One who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken My name in vain nor sworn deceitfully" (Ps. 24:3-4). Malachi says of one who speaks in God's name: "The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips" (Mal. 2:6). Every Amidah ends with the prayer, "My God, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from deceitful speech."
What the Torah is telling us in these six narratives in Genesis and the seventh in Exodus is the connection between freedom and truth. Where there is freedom there can be truth. Otherwise there cannot. A society where people are forced to be less than fully honest merely to survive and not provoke further oppression is not the kind of society God wants us to make.

More than a mere horse show, the Réal Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre in Jerez de la Frontera is a combination of riding school and entertainment wonder. If you can pronounce the name, you are ahead of the game.
Housed in a building that alone makes a visit worthwhile, the famed dancing stallions will do more than amaze. They will transform your idea of what these magnificent creatures can do.
While still outside, take time to admire the outstanding domes and extraordinary carvings on this delightful mixture of Moorish and Spanish Renaissance, the Recreo de las Cadenas Palace. Then travel up the short series of steps and be prepared to have all your expectations overturned.
Arrive early to spend time enjoying the fine gardens and other features while you watch the horses and trainers casually warm up behind the arena.
Take a stroll through the Horse Carriage Museum, housed in 7,000 square meters of what used to be a Permartin sherry warehouse. Drink in the sights and aromas of bougainvillea and orange blossom as you walk along the specially maintained albero sand.
Within this section are a dozen carriages that were drawn by the forbears of the awe-inspiring animals that will soon perform. Each transport served a special purpose. There was the Milord, the Phaeton and many others used for different occasions. Alongside are displays of harnesses and other equipment that served both a functional and decorative purpose. Some is Andalucian in origin, others hail from as far away as Russia.
Next, move on to the washing area to see some of the horses being cleaned for a later performance. Multimedia displays all around explain the role of the ritual, very similar to how it has been done for thousands of years.
Ahead are the stables where the carriage horses have their beds. Visitors are allowed to stroke their necks and interact with these gentle creatures. Next along the way is the area where the horses are harnessed and prepared to pull the carriages.
Coming full circle, guests arrive back at the forecourt and exit through another sherry warehouse called Bodega 1810, after the date it was first erected. The aroma of the former winery is still very much present.
Nearby is the Museum of Equestrian Arts, very much a part of the show. Housing living Przewalski horses (descendants from a breed over 12,000 years old), a harness workshop and more, the museum is a must-see part of the total experience.
Here one can see scale models of the Cadenas Palace that houses the facilities. There are numerous interactive displays explaining the evolution of the Andalucian horse and world championship equestrian events. Others discuss the history of the school, dressage and provide explanations of the horses' ability to 'dance'.
One of the highlights of the objects on display is an actual harness dating from the 7th century BC, discovered in the lower section of the Guadalquivir River. There are also Iberian and Punican coins thousands of years old stamped with images of horses.
Then it's on to the live dancing stallion show where visitors will see behavior that is scarcely believable to anyone who has never seen it live. Here horses and trainers show how in tune they are by executing moves as if they were in telepathic communication. So precise are the movements, they might easily be called an actual ballet.
Visit the Réal Escuela and see for yourself.

NORSEMEN DROP HARD-FOUGHT SERIES AT ABERDEEN
Aberdeen, S.D. — The St. Cloud Norsemen closed 2021 and opened 2022 with a pair of losses to the Aberdeen Wings, 5-3 on Friday and 2-1 on Saturday.
Friday night, Evan Murr, Nik Hong, Christopher Lynch all scored for the Norsemen.
Aberdeen got the jump, as Owen DuBois scored just 17 seconds into the game. The Wings made it 2-0 midway through the period with a goal by Hugo Gustafsson.
Murr, a defenseman from Stillwater, scored his sixth goal of the season to make it a 2-1 game for the Norsemen at 12:32 of the first. Logan Kittleson and Gunnar Johnson earned assists on the goal.
But Aberdeen added a goal with 9 seconds left in the first period to take a 3-1 lead into the second.
The Norsemen didn't let that last long. Hong, the Minneapolis native forward, scored his eighth goal of the season less than a minute into the second. His 26 points make Hong second on the team in scoring. Brandon Lajoie picked up an assist on the tally.
The Wings extended their lead back to two with a goal by Seamus Campbell three minutes later.
Lynch, the Swedish defenseman, pulled the Norsemen back within one with his first career goal, assisted by Jackson Bisson and Kittleson.
In the third, the Norsemen couldn't find the equalizer, despite late chances with a two-man advantage.
St. Cloud outshot the Wings 38-28. Goaltender Tomas Bolo returned from World Juniors to backstop the Norsemen, making 23 saves in Friday's loss, bringing his record in goal to 9-4-0.
On Saturday, the Norsemen dominated the opening frame with a 15-3 advantage in shots on goal and didn't allow a shot by Aberdeen in the first 12:21 of the game. But the first shot for the Wings found the back of the net from Wings leading scorer Cade Neilson.
St. Cloud answered with its leading scorer before the period came to a close. Ryan O'Neill took a feed from Blake Perbix and Blake Mesenburg to net his 11th goal of the season and tie the game 1-1.
Aberdeen took the lead in the second period on a power play goal by Seamus Campbell. The Norsemen couldn't take advantage of extended power play time and the late-game extra attacker, and fell to the Wings, 2-1.
The Norsemen (14-11-0-1) are back home at the St. Cloud Municipal Athletic Complex January 7-8 against Bismarck and tickets can be purchased online at tickets.stcloudnorsemen.com

Q: Removing row from a table if a matching element exists elsewhere on my page I have a table list which displays a list of users that are linked to an organization:

On the same page I also have a section which provides a list of users that can be associated with the organization:

This is all working fine when it comes to affiliating users with the organization. My issue, however, is that once a user has been selected from the second extract and added to the list in my first snippet, I would like to ensure that the same item is no longer rendered in the selectable list in the future. What would be the best way to go about this? I assume I should be looking at comparing the data-userid value in the list of linked users and the list of selectable users.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Taken from a garden tub of different coloured pansies.
Shooting this wide open has severely restricted the amount of in-focus petal. Had you focussed on the nearest edge and set it at (say) f6.3 all of the frilly bits towards the front would have been in focus and you would still have retained the nice OOF colours in the background. Pity, because the colours are really nice.
Lovely shot. Really like the OOF colours. But have to agree with davidwozhere's comment.
Thanks for your honest appraisal davidwozhere and jockey1. I can now see exactly what I did wrong and will hopefully choose the correct focusing point and f-stop in future floral shots.Thanks for taking the time to view and comment, it is really appreciated and hope I can put it to good use...Kind regards..tommyt.


Back in April I spent a weekend on the Lincolnshire Coast with my mum. We'd been invited by the Lincolnshire Coast tourist board to come up north and experience the beaches, the restaurants and the scenery for ourselves.
Lincoln is a cool city, so I'm told, but that wasn't what we there for, we wanted THE COAST. The Lincolnshire Coast is a popular area for retirees, for caravan parks, and for anyone wanting to experience the great British countryside – but I'd never been.
Our first port of call was the Seaside Lodge at Anderby Creek, right by the beach. Lincolnshire is a long way (6 hours drive) from me in Southsea, so I was ready to chill by the time I got all the way up there. And that's exactly what this place is for.
The Seaside Lodge is family-owned and set right by a fishing lake. It's also just a three-minute walk from a huge (and amazingly sandy) beach, and the UK's only Cloud Bar at Anderby Creek. When I read 'Cloud Bar' I totally thought it was a bar on the beach with a cloud theme – it's not.
It's actually a viewing point for you to admire the clouds around the beach, and to learn more about the formations.
We spent the evening watching the sunset from said Cloud Bar on the beach, trying to work it out, listening to music in the lodge and cooking up some Lincolnshire sausages for dinner, along with some wine. We were ready for the weekend to begin.
Let's start with one of the busiest places on the Lincolnshire Coast, Mablethorpe. It's a typical seaside town with arcades, fish and chip shops, sweet shops and fudge and candy everywhere. Again, I was genuinely amazed by the beach here as I didn't know Lincolnshire had such big sandy ones. Amazing on a summer's day.
In Mablethorpe we sat by the beach with a coffee, played in the arcades for two hours, went in and out of the cheapo and charity shops and then sat and had fish and chips from the famous Salty's by the sea.
Depending on the weather and how much you want to spend in the arcades you can expect to spend half to a full day here.
In the afternoon we drove to the Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre, just a few minutes up the road, to see some of the many seals they rescue each year. There were SO many animals there, from meerkats to monkeys to emus and of course, the seals.
If the weather is playing fair, you can wander Mablethorpe's six-miles of blue-flag award-winning beach. It wasn't for us, so I didn't, but I did get out of the car to check out the landmark beach huts. Colourful and lining the beach you can rent the beach huts out for the day so you have somewhere to store your stuff, and to retreat to with a kettle if the weather turns.
If you're looking for more beach action nearby you can check out Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe dunes Beach National Nature Reserve, a 10-minute drive away. Here you'll find unspoilt marshlands, quiet trails and, apparently, a lesser spotted natterjack toad or two hopping about.
That night we stayed at the Petwood Hotel – check out my review below.
My mum loves a charity shop, so we spent the route from Woodhall Spa to the Gunby Estate popping in to the little villages and seeing what their charity shops were like. To be honest, expensive. I was going to buy a Wagamama cookbook to satisfy my regular yaki soba cravings but it was £7.99!
Anyway, we had fun and it was nice to see the little villages and towns. Make sure to visit the Old School House in Horncastle for a nice cup of tea.
If that's not your thing, and you'd rather soak up a bit more of the history of the area then drive to St Margaret's Church in Bag Enderby. This is the best starting point for a 2-mile walk around Bag Enderby and Somersby. Here you can explore the countryside which inspired much of Poet Laureate, Lord Alfred Tennyson's early work, including 'The Poet's Tree' and the bridge over the River Lymn. On route you'll also pass Somersby House, where Tennyson was born and spent most of his childhood. It's a gentle 2-mile walk that thanks to admiring the Petwood Hotel we didn't have time to do.
Instead we drove straight to the Gunby Estate, a National Trust property over 100 years old.
The Gunby Estate was great. A nice manageable sized house for small attention spans and a real house where up until quite recently, a family actually lived. We were taken on a private tour around the rooms – mainly left as they were, with the original features, so you can imagine living there yourself.
We saw the toilet with a view, the basic bath facilities, the beautifully decorated old rooms and the kitchens and service quarters. One of the most interesting quirks was the exhibition of clocks they're currently showing in the basement. Artist Luke Jerram collated hundreds of unwanted clocks together and now you can hear the unique sound of them ticking together – sounded a bit like water rushing.
The grounds of the Gunby Estate were impressive, with cherry blossom trees, a Spring Walkway to follow and a karp pool, as well as outhouses. If you like plants, and cats, you're gonna love it.
Seaside Lodge is a two bedroomed, two bathroomed cottage-like lodge with outdoors table and chairs, a BBQ and a seating area. Inside you have two lounge areas, a kitchen table and all the mod cons of a kitchen so you can save money by cooking your own food.
We stayed one night and were very comfortable listening to music, drinking wine and eating a Lincolnshire sausage sandwich. It was so peaceful I think I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Anderby Creek, Lincolnshire PE24 5XS.
From the centre of Lincoln to the Seaside Lodge took around 1hr 15 mins through beautiful country roads.
The Petwood Hotel is an hour's drive from Mablethorpe in the little village of Woodhall Spa. I got totally confused and thought there was some sort of spa nearby, telling my mum to bring her swimming costume. 'Spa' is just what they call places round here. Silly me.
We had a huge room and bathroom, in the luxury hotel. I'll confess that I'd never even heard of the Dambusters before – I've learnt some things, go on, challenge me. The Petwood Hotel was used as an Officer's Mess during the Second World War and it was used in the Dambusters film too. The hotel is now like a living museum in dedication to it, although it is confined to the hotel walls and the Squadron Bar, so if that's not your thing, don't let it put you off.
We enjoyed a three-course meal – the main and dessert were absolutely delicious – and felt right at home in the dining room, with a little gin aperitif at the bar first.
The next day we had a choice of a hot breakfast, where I went for kippers, of course, alongside their continental offerings.
The Kinema is just up the road from the Petwood Hotel, and it's the only full time cinema in the UK still using rear projection. It's over 100 years old. Oh and while you're visiting the Petwood Hotel check out the village of Woodhall Spa, with all its pubs, cafes and charity shops.
Should you spend a weekend in Lincolnshire?
After the craziness of the weeks before I decided that a weekend in Lincolnshire is the perfect place to actually relax. There's all the traditional British seaside you could want, shops to keep you busy and a few quirky things like the Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and the Gunby Estate to keep it unique.
Driving around the Lincolnshire Wolds was beautiful, especially on the third morning when we were up by the Petwood Hotel and the RAF air space, seeing the planes in the sky. I'd definitely recommend checking the area out – try and pick a sunny weekend for it, or you might just end up in the arcades and chippy instead of on the beach (loved it!).
Who knew there were such nice beaches up there! I love the little Sea lodge, looked so cosy and cute. I bet your mum and you had a lovely trip!
Yeah, she loved it. We had a great time exploring Lincoln. It's not really somewhere I'd thought about before so always good to challenge opinions!

LTE Coverage Area For AT&T Network And FirstNet Public Safety Platform Increased By More Than 50,000 Square Miles
AT&T customers and FirstNet subscribers got a big boost in wireless connectivity last year. FirstNet increased the LTE coverage area for the AT&T network and FirstNet public safety communications platform by more than 50,000 square miles nationwide, covering an additional 1 million individuals.
Need a reference mark for the square miles? That's bigger than the size of Louisiana.
The added LTE coverage is a result of our ongoing network build initiatives to expand and enhance connectivity for consumers and first responders in both urban and rural areas – on both indoor and outdoor sites.
Increased Network Speeds And Connectivity
They've also deployed Band 14 spectrum in over 500 markets, further increasing the platform's coverage and capacity across the country"The demand for data has been on a nonstop, upward trajectory for years," said Marachel Knight, senior vice president, wireless and access engineering, construction and operations, AT&T. "Our ongoing work to launch new sites and build out our LTE network is delivering increased network speeds and capacity. By the end of this year, we expect our network capacity to increase by 50% since the end of 2017 while simultaneously laying the foundation for a 5G future."
They've also deployed Band 14 spectrum in over 500 markets, further increasing the platform's coverage and capacity across the country. That's a major plus for the more than 5,250 public safety agencies using 425,000+ connections on FirstNet today. That's also more than a 60% increase in the number of connections since the end of October 2018.
Covering The Country With Band 14 Spectrum
"We're moving fast to bring the unique features and benefits of FirstNet to life. We're less than a year into the Band 14 build and months ahead of schedule. And we already cover more than 40% of our total FirstNet Band 14 rural and non-rural coverage targets. That's about a 10% jump in the FirstNet square miles covered since last October," said Chris Sambar, senior vice president, FirstNet at AT&T.
Witnessing the real, tangible and life-saving impacts that FirstNet had in 2018 fuels us to keep moving quickly to blanket the country with reliable connectivity"
"Witnessing the real, tangible and – at times – life-saving impacts that FirstNet had in 2018 fuels us to keep moving quickly to blanket the country with reliable connectivity. And we're set for the explosive growth ahead."
"With FirstNet, AT&T is focused on delivering a network that's second to none, and the quick progress they've made with their accelerated build shows that they're taking this mission seriously," said Roger Entner, founder and analyst at Recon Analytics. "Both rural and urban communities will be able to benefit from the added connectivity."
When it comes to building out the FirstNet communications platform, these are the 3 areas of focus:
Connecting rural and remote responders. FirstNet is for all first responders. That's why reaching rural and remote parts of America is one of our top priorities. Areas that are underway and currently benefitting from our build include the Black Hills of South Dakota where nearly half a million people gather for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the farming communities of Tulare County, Calif., and tribal lands within the Chickasaw Nation in south-central Oklahoma.
Increasing capacity for urban responders. In areas where coverage already exists, they're helping first responders get the capacity they need to get the job done. That's why urban and suburban centres in markets like Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco and more got a Band 14 boost.
Keeping public safety connected with innovative solutions. They offer innovative solutions to help public safety communicate no matter where their mission takes them. This includes the nationwide fleet of 72 FirstNet dedicated deployable assets – available 24/7 upon request and at no additional charge. FirstNet subscribers can also purchase their own deployable network assets from our First Responders Mobility Zone program. Or they can get a Rapid Deployment Kit, which is a portable briefcase that allows first responders to quickly establish connectivity where they need it.
Meeting The Needs Of Public Safety Community
It's an incredible testament to the need first responders have for a dedicated, purpose-built network as well as the unparalleled capabilities"FirstNet is being built in public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority). This helps to ensure that the FirstNet communications platform and service offerings meet the short- and long-term needs of the public safety community.
"FirstNet is advancing quickly – both in terms of progress and adoption. It's an incredible testament to the need first responders have for a dedicated, purpose-built network as well as the unparalleled capabilities FirstNet has already delivered.
"We are looking forward to the further expansion of FirstNet in the year ahead and will continue to work closely with first responders and AT&T to ensure FirstNet is being built to their specifications – coverage and capacity included," said FirstNet Authority Acting CEO Edward Parkinson.
"With the Band 14 buildout validated thus far, we're pleased that more first responders in rural and urban areas have even more access to the connectivity and modern communications tools they need."
Better Support For Rural Communities
Band 14 is high-quality spectrum provided by the FirstNet Authority. Its signal covers larger geographic areas with less infrastructure to better support rural communities, and it can better penetrate buildings and walls in more urban areas as compared to higher-MHz spectrum. When not in use by FirstNet subscribers, AT&T customers can enjoy Band 14's added coverage and capacity.

When it comes to physical fitness, every fire department's approach is different. Some have invested in a fitness initiative, others haven't. Some struggle to create culture change and an environment where physical fitness is a priority and not an afterthought. Other departments don't know where to begin, or they approach the issue of health and fitness randomly with approaches that may not be based on science. Firefighters physical health Worse, some departments embrace systems that are too strenuous or likely to cause injury. Using heavy weights can cause harm. Sometimes firefighters exercise beyond the point of fatigue. Basketball may be good exercise, but the risk of ankle sprains and other injuries outweighs the benefits. Any exercise program should be science-based and should "engineer out" the likelihood of injury" "Any exercise program should be science-based and should "engineer out" the likelihood of injury", says Bryan Fass, Founder and President of Injury Prevention Systems and the Fit Responder. He works nationally with departments to reduce injuries and improve fitness for first responders. Need for a fitness policy at fire stations "Some departments have a 'fitness policy' that says firemen should work out whenever they can," says Fass. "Others have no policy at all, and some have to deal with cities, command staff and unions – it's hard to have a focused goal because everybody wants something different." Some departments have built a centrally located fitness facility that crews from multiple firehouses can use on a rotating basis. Others may simply have an arrangement with a local health club that is agreeable to a fire truck being parked out front. A principal benefit of a physical fitness program is avoidance of on-the-job injuries Avoiding on-the-job physical injuries A principal benefit of a physical fitness program is avoidance of on-the-job injuries. The number one physical affliction for firefighters and EMTs is low-back injury. Firefighters also suffer shoulder injuries from pulling; or knee injuries from tripping, stepping in a hole, or climbing in and out of a truck. Injuries also tend to be less severe – and to heal more quickly – among physically fit patients. Fit firefighters are less likely to suffer from heart attacks in a high-stress/high-heat environment. Fitness also helps to offset fatigue. Research shows that a "fit but fatigued" firefighter will outperform, have less risk of injury and better cardiac health than an "unfit but fresh" firefighter in a high-stress/high-heat environment. In short, better fitness equates to better work capacity and fewer injuries. Addressing wide fitness level disparities When it comes to fitness, a concern is the wide disparity among fitness levels of firefighters When it comes to fitness, a concern is the wide disparity among fitness levels of firefighters. There are young firefighters who are relatively fit working out side-by-side with an aging workforce that isn't equipped for the same level of activity. In the middle are some motivated souls who are more health-conscious. An approach that works for all three groups is to introduce activities with a low-risk-high-reward ratio. Regularly scheduled exercises should cater to the lowest-common-denominator participants. Exercise programs should be risk-averse. Importance of physical fitness programs A big need for fire departments is to have more structure in their physical fitness programs. "The need for structure is there, but every department is different," says Fass. In fact, a misconception about firefighter fitness is that they have to train all the time. Rather, a balanced approach works best. When scheduling exercise routines for each shift, different kinds of workouts should be scheduled about two days apart. One day might be high intensity; another might be a mobility/recovery workout; a third might be primal lifting, squats and deadlifts; and a fourth might be stability/mild cardio (core training). The light schedule assumes that more fitness-conscious firefighters would work out more strenuously on their own time. A big need for fire departments is to have more structure in their physical fitness programs Incorporating high nutrition in firefighters' diet Some departments embrace the concepts of good nutrition and how they can impact everything from a firefighter's fatigue to their ability to survive on the fire ground; others revolt and won't even listen. There are geographical differences, too: The West Coast is more health-conscious than the Northwest or South. Eliminating pain, increasing mobility and fighting fatigue are prerequisites for an exercise program Eliminating pain, increasing mobility and fighting fatigue are prerequisites for an exercise program. Participants should be taught to self-treat pain in the 16 "trigger points" around the body using therapeutic tools, such as a foam roller or tennis ball. There are tools to target each area of pain. Adopting a "mobility program" involves stretching for greater flexibility and mobility. And combatting fatigue means ensuring that firefighters get enough sleep. Incentives for fit firefighters Fears for their job security may be an unspoken but real concern among firemen presented with a new fitness program: "Get fit, or else…." Fitness programs should allow plenty of time for participants to get back into shape," says Fass. Some departments offer incentives to employees who achieve better fitness, such as a cash award, gift card, or extra time off. Some offer incentives to do tests based on NFPA 1582, which outlines an occupational medical program to reduce risks and provide for the health, safety, and effectiveness of firefighters.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is setting the standard for the use of drones in firefighting applications. As one of the first major metropolitan fire departments to have a significant drone program, LAFD has flown more than 175 missions in less than two years, including the Skirball fire that burned the Bel Air neighborhood in December 2017. Since Skyfire Consulting, a drone services and training company, helped LAFD secure a Certificate of Authorization (COA) for the drone program, the agency has established a training regimen, secured new products and equipment and grown their program to 17 licensed pilots and a fleet of nine drones. When privacy worries created a backlash in the community, the LAFD met the concerns head-on and ensured their standard operating procedures (SOPs) addressed any privacy issues. Incorporate Drone Technology LAFD started a Pilots Training and Ground School Course earlier in 2019 A report to the Board of Fire Commissioners in March from LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas outlined the program's progress. LAFD started a Pilots Training and Ground School Course earlier in 2019 to teach flight skills concepts and legal aspects. LAFD Battalion Chief Richard Fields told the commission the LAFD's drone program has become a national standard. "We are mentioned in literature, we are mentioned in conferences, we are mentioned across the city family as well as outside agencies," Fields commented, as reported by NBC4 in Los Angeles. In April, drone technology company DJI announced a Solution Development Partnership with the LAFD to create, test and deploy DJI drones as an emergency response and preparedness tool. The agreement will provide the LAFD with access to new technologies, training and support to incorporate drone technology in its operations. Thermal Imaging Cameras LAFD flies DJI Matrice 600 Series and DJI Phantom 4 Pro drones equipped with visual and thermal imaging cameras that provide real-time video and data transmission to incident commanders. LAFD will continue to use DJI drone technology across a variety of situations including hot-spot identification and aerial mapping to help manage wildfire response, as well as incident response for swiftwater rescues, hazmat operations, and urban search and rescue missions. LAFD will continue to use DJI drone technology across a variety of situations "The LAFD has been working through a pragmatic approach to adopting drone technology for several years, including developing policies and procedures that define clear use case scenarios and building awareness among the general public about the positive life- and property-saving benefits drone technology can provide," says Fields. "[The partnership with DJI] gives the Department access to developments such as drones equipped with thermal cameras that will give incident commanders a real-time bird's-eye perspective," he adds. Complex Urban Environments When considering the benefits of drones, departments of any size can be inspired by LAFD's example "Combining advanced drone technology with new software tools will help bridge the gap between [the capabilities of] helicopters and [those of] firefighters on the ground, allowing us to address life-threatening situations faster and more effectively than ever before." The LAFD's drone program is one of 910 public safety organizations in the U.S. deploying drones for life saving activities, according to the Bard Center for the Study of the Drone (May 2018). "While the LAFD program shows how drones can succeed when operated within expansive, urban areas by a large department, drone technology is valuable to municipalities of any size," says Romeo Durscher, Director of Public Safety Integration at DJI. "Through our two-way collaboration [with LAFD], we will receive valuable insight into the complexities of deploying drones for emergency situations in one of the most complex urban environments in the nation," says Bill Chen, Enterprise Partnerships Manager at DJI. When considering the benefits of drones, departments of any size can be inspired by LAFD's example.

Think about this in the context of trying to lose fifteen pounds. Maybe your doctor has told you that the extra weight is unhealthy. How might making the tough, daily decisions to maintain a healthy diet depend on your story about why you eat?
Consider your choice between a healthy salad and a pizza for lunch after the fourth day on your diet. If you tell yourself a low-level construal story of why you eat, you would focus on how your body feels. This story would focus you on your physical sensation of a gnawing tummy and the unpleasant psychological sensation of being hungry. And then you look at the salad. It looks lame. As Wharton professor, Katherine Milkman, and her colleagues say, "A low-level construal of a salad would focus on its taste and its likelihood of leaving you hungry." If your story of why you eat centres on your body, right now, and you are thinking about the salad's ability to fulfill your immediate physical prompts, you will likely get the pizza. And most diets end this way— unsuccessfully.
The story you tell yourself about eating changes your behavior and you are more likely to choose the salad. 20 minutes later, when your snarling belly is appeased, you feel pride instead of guilt.
When we personally understand and believe in the why of our actions, we have greater resilience and stamina when the going gets tough. Read more of this excerpt from Alive At Work.

Specialized inclusive programming design for cultural institutions
The Ikouii Creative will promote inclusive practices, knowledge, and support, to ensure that individuals with disabilities have enriching experiences in arts and cultural institutions and opportunities for creative expression as artists, leaders, and audiences.
Five principles guide The Ikouii Creative programs and affiliates:
Artists with a disability deserve equal opportunity to showcase artwork
All individuals with a disability deserve access to quality arts and culture experiences.
All arts and cultural institutions should be prepared to include audiences with disabilities.
All children, youth, and adults with disabilities should have complete access to cultural facilities and programming.
All individuals with disabilities who aspire to careers in the arts should have the opportunity to develop appropriate skills.
HOW IKOUII HELPS
Research has shown that even the most severely disabled can, through their senses appreciate the joys of art. Exposure to the arts has a tremendous positive impact on the mental and developmental state of every individual. Yet all too often individuals with disabilities are shortchanged of this life enrichment when they do not have access. The loss of art exposure is especially stifling for individuals with disabilities. By providing inclusive accessibility in cultural institutions and opportunities for artists with disabilities, Ikouii is playing an instrumental role in increasing access to the benefits of arts enrichment for all individuals.
We believe access and exposure to the arts and culture is a fundamental right of all people. Everyone has the right of access to cultural heritage, and museums need to promote equal access and to ensure a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to inspire visitors regardless of personal circumstances. Museums and galleries can provide safe, dynamic learning environments that contribute positively to the quality of life of all individuals regardless of physical, intellectual, and social barriers. Improving access cultural institutions, while incorporating inclusion and diversity, involves using creative ideas to tackle disability related barriers that prevent individuals from an immersive experience.

In the Future, Your Home May Be Powered by a Tesla Battery
The rise of home batteries is driven by a powerful need.

The Battery-Powered Future
Battery technology has essentially been the same over the past years, albeit with a bunch of improvements that increase battery capacity and prolong battery life. Lithium ion batteries remain the popular choice, and they're found in all of today's battery-powered mobile devices and in many electric cars. Soon, these batteries might also be powering your houses, thanks to the likes of Tesla and other startups that now sell these home batteries to utility providers.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, homes located in New York, California, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Arizona, and in other states are working on new ways to make their electric grids battery-powered, an infrastructural switch which Ravi Manghani of GTM Research says is a "powerful need." Without home batteries, the ability of utility companies to deliver power is in danger.
Utilities often have difficulty allocating excess power, particularly those on interstate markets where at certain times the price of electricity tends to dip into the negative. Usually, utilities resort to dumping excess electricity or paying others to take it. With the rise of solar power, the same issue happens. Energy generated by solar panels depend on certain conditions and, more often, generation doesn't match the needs of homes.
In California and Arizona, the Journal reports, there's lost of solar electricity during the day at cool times of the year and too little at night, when usage spikes. "This is not a long-term theoretical issue that might happen—this is now," Marc Romito, Arizona Public Service director of customer technology, told the Journal. Home batteries are sorely needed.
In a Time of Need
There's wisdom in keeping spare batteries at home, or in this case, keeping your home plugged into one. Particularly during times of disasters, home batteries can be really useful. When the grid is down, home batteries coupled with solar panels can provide much needed electricity, as was the case in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, where customers of Tesla and German battery-maker Sonen were able to keep their houses powered. Tesla has also, in fact, started shipping batteries to Puerto Rico, which has been largely without power since Hurricane Maria.

It's this self-sustaining energy ecosystem that Tesla's been working on thanks to their Powerwall and Powerpack batteries. Both work as electricity storage units, with the former designed for homes, while the latter is meant for utilities. Instead of relying on the grid, the home batteries like the Powerwall allow households to source out electricity, so to speak, following what some have called a "grid defection." It's enough to even power a small island.
The likes of Tesla, Sonen, and even Ikea in the U.K., are making this grid defection into a reality, in the U.S. and abroad. For example, both companies have partnered with Green Mountain Power in Vermont, which offers 2,000 home owners the chance to install a Powerwall for just $15 a month. Meanwhile, real-estate developer Mandalay Homes recently announced plans to build some 4,000 energy-efficient homes each with an 8-kilowatt-hour battery from Sonen — 2,900 of which would be built in Prescott, Arizona.
In short, as the market for electricity undergoes a radical shift thanks to the availability of renewable energy sources — especially the increasing popularity of cheaper solar home panels — power storage is becoming an important factor. Home batteries are the future.
