Nat Friedman and Joseph Hill from Xamarin join us for several big announcements: Xamarin Studio, Xamarin Component Store, iOS development in Visual Studio, and a new free Starter edition.
(00:45) Nat begins by catching us up on Xamarin's first eighteen months.
Xamarin's focus is on helping developers build mobile apps across multiple platforms.
They have 230,000 developers in their community, adding 700-800 per day, with over 12,000 paying customers.
They've had top iPad (Bastion), music apps (Rdio) and some large mission critical line of business apps.
What's special about their platform is that you can target iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, share C# code across all those platforms, and still deliver a native experience.
Nat say's they're the overnight success that took ten years to prepare, referencing the ten years they took to build Mono.
Kevin asks which of their value propositions (.NET based development, cross-platform development) resonates more with users.
Nat says that many developers are initially attracted by C# development, although that's not always the case (referencing an internal app at GitHub written by Objective-C developers who just liked sharing code between platforms).
Nat says there's no real way to be a mobile developer now without having a cross-platform strategy – iOS might have looked like the only platform that mattered a few years ago, but now Android is more popular and Windows Phone is growing in popularity.
Kevin asks how the code reuse happens, since these are true native applications.
Nat talks about different cross-platform strategies and says that they don't believe in write once, run anywhere.
With Xamarin, you separate the backend and UI code and write specific UI code for each platform, although you still write it in C#.
Rdio has over 150,000 lines of code which are shared between iOS, Android and Windows which covers networking, caching, authentication, etc.
(07:55) First big announcement: Joseph Hill announces support for building for iOS applications in Visual Studio.
Nat says that you can have one Visual Studio solution targeting iOS, Android and Windows Phone, and step through the code with the full debugging support you're used to.
How does the Mac support work?
Scott K asks if this means that you have to run Visual Studio on a Mac. Nat says that's not necessary, you just need to pair your Visual Studio instance with a Mac – it just needs to be on the network somewhere. That's required both to be able to sign releases and to meet Apple's license terms.
Jon asks if this would work with a Mac Mini, and Nat says that's a popular option.
Scott K asks about a "Mac in the cloud" option; Nat says they're not planning that.
Kevin asks if several developers could share one Mac. Nat says that Apple's requirement is that each developer is supposed to have a license, and Joseph says that the Apple toolchain is build for single user rather than server support.
Jon ask if he can start playing with iOS support without having a Mac, Joseph explains that you can install and look around a bit, but you can't build or deploy.
Kevin asks about the Interface Builder interaction.
Kevin asks if it was incredibly painful to set up this support for Visual Studio.
(16:14) Second big announcement: Nat announces the release of Xamarin Studio.
Xamarin Studio runs on OSX, Windows, and Linux.
It's based on Mono Develop, but it's a completely new user interface with a lot of great new features.
Visual Studio Express users can't install extensions so Xamarin Studio allows them to do Xamarin development, also it's what all Mac users will be using.
Kevin asks if it's a fork of Mono Develop.
Kevin asks if Xamarin Studio is open source.
Jon asks how it was developed. Joseph says it's still C# Mono code using GTK. Developers write Xamarin Studio in Xamarin Studio.
K. Scott asks if you can target non-mobile scenarios. Joseph says you can still target ASP.NET, console, class libraries, etc.
Kevin asks what happens to Mono Develop. Nat says it continues as an open source project, and they'll contribute back to it as they develop Xamarin Studio.
Jon says it's interesting watching the evolution of the Mono / Xamarin efforts as they've moved from supplying the Mono framework to being both building Mono and building a business on Mono.
Nat says it's great working for a customer base rather than an opinionated crowd. "A really good signal that we're doing good work is that people give us money for it."
Joseph talks about their model, explaining how their Xamarin business works well with their role as stewards of the Mono project.
Nat says they see developers solving the same problems over and over again, giving an example of a common requirement for a signature capture control.
The Xamarin Component Store is a library of pre-built components. Nat gives an example of an Azure Mobile Service component.
It works in both Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio.
Components include documentation, screenshots, and sample projects. Nat says it's conceptually similar to NuGet, but gives you a lot better experience and makes it easier to get started.
There are a lot of component vendors who are contributing both free and paid components, and Xamarin has also contributed several based on their experience in supporting Xamarin developers.
Jon asks how they handle cross platform, native user interface with components.
Kevin asks how people can submit components to the store.
Nat says he thinks this will really be a compelling feature of their platform, since developers won't have to build everything from scratch.
Kevin asks they handle purchases and vender payments.
Kevin asks if the components are curated.
Jon asks about component support for Android and Windows Phone.
Kevin asks if it's possible to create Xamarin components using native Objective-C components. Nat says they support both Objective-C and Java code reuse.
Jon says the design on the Xamarin Component store website looks great and asks about Xamarin's approach to design. Nat says that they're selling a good design experience and design is an important part of that.
Kevin says he like hover screenshots, Nat says he really likes the hover menu control.
You can use Starter Edition to get started, build, and deploy applications.
Starter Edition is limited to 32KB of IL code.
Jon loves the idea of limiting the free edition based on compiled code size.
Kevin asks what kind of app will fit in 32KB. Nat says that using a lot of DLL's will put you over the limit quickly, but images aren't content. About 20% of the apps in the store would fit under the limit.
Joseph says they didn't want to limit based on features. Jon talks about the frustration people see in Visual Studio version based feature limitations. Nat says pricing is hard; ultimately they want to get a lot of people using Xamarin and they think this is a good way to do that.
(44:53) Jon asks about support for languages other than C#.
Nat says they see people using F# and Java (using IKVM).
Joseph says that C# is their main focus – all the documentation is in C# – but they're happy to see people using other languages.
(47:35) Nat talks about their upcoming developer conference.
The first two days are focused completely on training.
The second two days feature some great talks by community leaders, user interface designers, and more. The entire team will be on hand to answer questions.
On this episode of Herding Code, the guys talk to Amir Rajan about his Oak and Gemini projects, which bring Rails-inspired dynamic programming to ASP.NET MVC.
Jon asks Amir to explain his development workflow, including SpecWatcher, NSpec, and Growl.
Jon asks about the File / New Project experience. Amir describes how that's not even required – Oak works with WarmuP to build out a new project.
The next step is using Rake – Amir explains how Rake works. Running Rake builds the application and deploys, then sets up IIS against that instance.
Oak leverages the dynamic keyword. Amir explains how it just augments what's already there in ASP.NET MVC.
Amir explains how Oak works with Gemini, separate library he's built to enable building dynamic objects. It allows you to attach properties and methods through mixins. He gives an example of using Gemini to extend a dynamic object with validation methods.
Amir describes how Oak leverages Gemini to take advantage of these decorated dynamic model objects throughout the different layers.
Scott K asks where the composition happens – is this a pipeline process?
Jon says it sounds like this is a more fleshed out version of some dynamic features that were started in ASP.NET MVC, like dynamic views and ViewBag. He explains how Gemini goes beyond Expando, because it also includes support for method missing.
Jon says Gemini reminds him of the Clay dynamic objects used in Orchard.
Jon asks Amir about Cambium, the data layer. Amir says he customized Rob Conery's Massive library to work with his Gemini objects, and points out that the resulting library uses remarkably little code.
Scott K asks Amir if he's looked at Breeze. Amir says so far he's just worked with standard ASP.NET MVC controllers, but he's interested in looking at Breeze, Dapper, and NoSQL ORMs.
Kevin asks the silly question: why bother bringing Rails idioms to ASP.NET MVC – why not work in Rails?
Jon says the thing he sees Amir's done is eliminate the shift between development and runtime modes in Visual Studio based development.
Jon asks about change tracking support in Cambium.
Amir explains migrations and schema generation in Oak and Cambium.
Amir says that SQL based migrations are important in many development environments.
Jon asks Amir about the Single Page Application story in Oak. Amir explains some of the points of friction that exist in ASP.NET SPAs and explains how Oak is able to round-trip dynamic types.
Scott K. asks why it's so hard to migrate schemas in .NET. Amir says that it's due to our fixation on trying to define our models using code first in .NET types rather than in the database.
Jon asks how the first deployment and upgrade scenarios work in Oak.
Jon asks how Ajax interactions work. Amir explains how this works using the TaskRabbit sample to explain.
Amir explains how he's relying on client-side rendering and templating more and more. He asks if we're seeing that movement as well, and Scott K. agrees with him. They agree that focusing on serving JSON and rendering on the client solves a lot of problems.
Jon asks Amir if he's using one controller to serve HTML and JSON, or if they're split out. Amir says he's got one controller to serve the HTML, then does everything else via a separate controller that serves JSON. He says he's noticed that the ORMs have very little need for state with this approach.
Jon says he's seeing the shift from a little Ajax interaction in mostly HTML focused servers to servers that are almost completely focused on serving JSON.
Jon asks about Canopy. Amir describes how Canopy is a stabilization layer on top of Selinium, and talks about why Canopy is built on top of F#.
Scott K. asks if Amir has looked at OWIN yet.
Jon asks about Async support in Oak.
Twitter question from Bobby Johnson: What do you do to limit the viral nature of dynamic in your code? Amir and Jon talk about how a lot of the assumed safety of static code is an illusion when you think about all the moving parts you've got no control over.
K. Scott and Scott K. think this is a fascinating project and like the code.
Scott K. and Jon joke about variants. Amir mentions that the dynamic nature of Gemini means that all the dynamic properties and methods are case insensitive.
Amir talks about how to get started with Oak.
Jon says the sample apps, documentation and screencasts are really nice.
Jon asks what's next. Amir lists a better SPA story, better file uploads, adding dynamic to ServiceStack and Nancy, and growing the number of Gemini modules.
Kevin asks about the performance impact of this dynamic focus. Amir that he's got an included test, and he's found that dynamic is actually faster in a lot of cases which need to use reflection, such as ORMs, JSON serialization, and model binding.
Amir calls out the NSpec project and references their interview on Hanselminutes.
Oak: Frictionless development for ASP.NET MVC single page web apps. Prototypical and dynamic capabilities brought to C#.

Our best work happens when we collaborate directly with our clients and bring them into the process of telling their story through their space. Every project is unique because every client is unique. We don't impose a house style; we want to get to know you and your lifestyle, and interpret this into a space that enables the experiences you desire.
Every project starts with a 1-2 hour consultation at your home to divine your style. We may take a trip through your closet, check out your favorite dishes or sink into your bookshelves. We'll get to know one another and we'll get to know what you need from the process. If it seems like a good fit we'll draft a contract outlining the budget, timelines and expected deliverables.
When a project is ready to move ahead, we begin by hand drawing 'room boards' that reflect your desired outcome through an artistic rendering. The drawings include details of furniture, color story and fabric choices that describe the new room's look and feel. This step ensures both the design team and homeowners understand the long-term vision of a project including a more detailed breakdown of the budget, timeline and item choices.
Once the client has signed off on the design vision, let the grunt work begin! We take care of all purchasing, fabrication, shipping, installation and trade management. Our team of professionals has worked together seamlessly for years and is 100% conscientious and respectful of your privacy and time.
If your project requires coordination with architects, landscape architects and builders we will gladly facilitate and coordinate those relationships. We believe that good project management is integral to the success of a project and we gladly work with external consultants and professionals as needed.
Working as a team requires balance, which comes to life in the spaces we design. Old/new, soft/hard, masculine/feminine, open/ intimate, positive/negative – through these tensions we find balance between function and beauty for each space.
Hillary Kaplan and Miriam Silver Verga are all about finding the perfect balance in design. After careers in fashion design and interior design publishing they started M&H Design in 2011 to create authentic, unique spaces that speak to their clients' individuality. Their approach as partners balances a room with carefully collected vintage pieces, custom items made for your living space by skilled artisans and affordable accessible items purposefully curated to re ect the homeowner's style.
M&H believe that a home should reflect the diverse individuality that every family has, without comprising cohesion or elegance. It should tell a story—your story—and M&H pride themselves on uncovering the perfect details to create a space expressive of you and your family.
Every surface will be classic and at the same time current. Intimate meetings will function equally as well as raucous parties. The color palette will be clean but rich. Cool colors will adore the balance of their warm counterparts. It will be full of personality but not full of clutter. Stylistically it will be a juxtaposition of modern lines with warm and timeless elements. Most importantly, it will be a reflection of your best self.
A curated collection of inspired finds and design elements to layer into your home or give as the perfect gift. Curated by Mimi & Hill, the shop is filled with an ever-changing array of objects and thoughtful wares to reflect your personal style. The Design Studio + Shop team is committed to helping you find the perfect accessory, lamp, piece of jewelry, blanket – and share their tips on how to style it.
Visit us for glam, bohemian chic, vintage and cutting edge artisan pieces.
Typically we take about a month from our first visit to show you our design. After we agree on the design, the speed is based on availability of the product, speed of payment, and our contractors scheduling.
If I have a question, how long will it take for you to get back to me?
Someone from our team will get back to you within 2 business days.
Will my house look like a magazine at the end?
You better believe it! You will want to throw a party the day of install. And we would love to be invited. Part of our final service is styling the space. We bring a load of curated accessories and play with them until it's perfect. You get to keep the pieces you love and we'll take the ones that aren't quite right!
That's what makes us full service! Our project manager checks with you to see if you can be home for delivery, if you can't, she'll be there to accept delivery and ensure the right products come off the truck. She'll even pet the dog while she's there.
Why is it taking so long for delivery of my item(s)?
Although our project manager makes it her job to know where your products are and how long they'll take for delivery, we're sometimes at the mercy of our vendors. But you'll always know what we know, when we know it. That's a promise.
Do you know a good painter, wallpaper hanger, tile guys, electrician, etc.?
That's exactly who we know. We know the best, most reliable, and kindest trades people out there and maintain great relationships with them. We're happy to connect our customers to our network. That's what you pay for!
What if something you included on my board goes on sale?
With custom ordered pieces, the price rarely changes. However, when we order from catalogue companies it gets a bit trickier. Some companies, like Williams & Sonoma, make sales easy to include in our trade pricing. With other companies the sale pricing may not be reflected in our trade pricing (Restoration Hardware is particularly difficult with this practice).
While this may seem frustrating for you, transparently marking up our product is how our business works. The benefit is that we deal with making the orders, shipping, receiving and installing.
What if I can't justify spending that much on a rug?
We go into a project with very frank discussions about budget, but if there is something you just can't pull the trigger on price- wise we're happy to look for less expensive alternatives. Because we bill hourly, we'll decide together if the savings is worth it. If you're not in a hurry, we can spend some time trolling the sales and showrooms we visit for a better alternative.
I'm in a rush and I needed everything yesterday.
We operate within a Venn diagram that includes; speed, quality and cost. Our job is to figure out where your project fits within those circles. Speeding things up can sometimes mean higher prices or reduced quality. But we'll work with you to make those decisions as they arise. Some clients prefer to hire us on a retainer that we can dip into when we place orders (once the order has been approved by you, of course!). This can help speed up the process.
Most of our clients had never worked with an interior design team before. So we asked them to describe their experience, hoping to help you get a feel for what we do best and how the process works.
What will I get out of working with an interior designer?
How do M&H relate to their clients?
How do Miriam and Hillary work together?
What's my part in the process?
What part of the process do they take care of?

We look forward to creating value for all shareholders as we build out our capabilities to drive future sustainable growth," continued McCutcheon.
The Notes have a three-year term, were issued at an original issue discount of 7.75% and are convertible at the option of the Investor at a price of $2.28 per share (the "Conversion Price"). The Notes amortize through bi-monthly installment payments of approximately $320,000 (the "Bi-Monthly Installment Payments"), payable in Common Shares, subject to the satisfaction of equity conditions, at a price per Common Share equal to 90% of the market price of the Common Shares (being the 5-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX")) or 87% of such market price where that market price is less than $1.00 (each an "Installment Percentage") or, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, in cash. Upon receipt of approval of the Offering by the Company's shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the TSX (the "Shareholder Approval"), the price for such Common Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (i) the then existing Conversion Price; and (ii) the Installment Percentage.
The Warrants expire on October 9, 2023 and are exercisable to acquire Common Shares at a price of $2.28 per share.
The gross proceeds from the placement of the Subscription Receipt have been delivered to a licensed Canadian trust company, in its capacity as subscription receipt agent, and will be delivered to the Company net of certain fees and expenses upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, specifically, the receipt of Shareholder Approval, and there existing no event or pending event of default under the Notes (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Subscription Receipt will convert automatically into the Second Note and the Second Warrant.
In connection with the Offering, Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as sole placement agent and will receive a cash fee equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

In 1996 we joined the Gold & Silversmiths Guild of Australia, which accepts only members who meet and maintain the high standards set out under their constitution.
The jewellery items had to be principally hand-crafted in Gold and/or Silver.
The items had to be both functionally and aesthetically well designed.
As a member of the Guild in NSW, Martin is now registered to use the Guild Membership Mark, a Kangaroo Head, a symbol of excellence in Design and Craftsmanship in Australian handmade precious metal articles.
This special mark will be used to mark his products out of precious metal accompanied by his Makers Mark. The Makers Mark is always a distinctive device which is the signature of the Maker.
You or your descendants will always be able to identify Martin Planert as the Designer and Maker of the article you have purchased.
You will know that the maker is a professional who will guarantee the quality of materials and craftsmanship.
Our hallmarks signify our trustworthiness and credibility, and it's these attributes which assures every piece of jewellery is crafted to the highest quality standard.
You will know that the article is made of refined precious metals that meet the standards recommended by the Standards Association of Australia.
The Australian Standards in precious metal jewellery were set to regulate and control the carat of precious metal in jewellery pieces for Australia.
It requires a stamp which ensures quality and purity of metal.
4.Your jewellery will be manufactured by International Standard- Experienced goldsmith and restorer, Martin Planert, who has worked in Germany and Australia for over 30 years.
5.Your restored Jewellery will look like new through using antique tested as well as the latest restoration techniques.
6.Your personal needs are important to us and we will do everything we can to understand your needs.
8.Jewellery manufacture is probably the oldest form of recycling practiced for centuries as every gram of gold can be remodelled, re-melted and re-used, even polishing dust. Your piece of jewellery could contain gold of Aztec crowns.
9.We assist clients in finding a healing gemstone and set it as appealing jewellery fulfilling special requirements such as the gemstone touching the skin.
12.We buy certified conflict-free diamonds Russian cut from an Australian Supplier and Australian Opals directly from a miner. This certifies that a fair price is paid to the miners to support their work.
13.Ask around: we produce highest quality Fine Jewellery in an ecologically responsible way lasting longer than cars or computers which can be handed down through generations. Diamonds are Forever.

International Markets Live Targeting Belgium Investors in Pyramid Scheme
Belgium's FSMA has warned the public against the fraudulent targeting of domestic clients by the company.
Jeff Patterson | Regulation ( Retail FX ) | Thursday, 25/01/2018 | 12:27 GMT+2 2018-01-25T10:27:15+00:00 2018-01-25T11:28:57+00:00
Belgium's Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) has issued its latest regulatory warning to the public. The announcement involves the unauthorized activities of International Markets Live LTD, which has been attempting to solicit FX and contracts-for-difference (CFDs) services to domestic individuals.
Belgium has been one of the more stringent countries regarding FX and CFDs offering – since 2016 the country has effectively curtailed this type of investment offering, which has not stopped brokers or companies from pursuing Belgian clients. Of note, the regulatory edict also forbids companies from giving clients a reward for bringing in new clients or for recommending these types of products.
Subsequently, the FSMA's warning against International Markets Live LTD is the latest example of a company attempting to circumvent these regulations. The group, operating from the website www.imarketslive.com, has been offering Belgian consumers tools and training that are supposed to help them trade in forex products and CFDs.
However, these offerings have been mainly targeting younger individuals, many of whom are poorly educated about the risks concerning these types of instruments. Many brokers and regulators have routinely pointed to a lack of education as a paramount issue in the retail space. Their consequent handling of high leverage or risk products in recent years has underscored this trend.
In the case of International Markets Live however, the group had been enticing its members with a number of advantages and compensation, thereby soliciting new members to recruit. By and large this is indicative of a pyramid scheme, with more details of this type of fraud being explicitly outlined in full on the FSMA's website.
Such scams are highly dangerous and should be avoided by any individuals, or would-be investors. International Markets Live is no stranger to Europe, having already drawn regulatory scrutiny in two other countries.
The group has been the subject of multiple warnings by the French supervisory authority (AMF) and by the Spanish supervisory authority (CNMV). With the company now shifting its focus to Belgium, the FSMA has taken action. Investors are urged to always consult the FSMA's website for authorized service providers' status.
It is also important to note the public can contact the FSMA in the case of any queries. Offers of unrealistic returns, or requests to transfer funds to a country with no connection with the financial group, should serve as red flags.

UK adds 111 MW of solar in Q1 2017
Great Britain installed 111 MW of new PV systems in the first three months of this year, according to provisional BEIS statistics. The country's cumulative capacity now surpasses 11.85 GW.

The United Kingdom registered a newly installed PV capacity of 111 MW in the first quarter of 2017, according to provisional statistics released by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
In the first quarter of 2016, new additions totaled 1,543 MW. It must be remembered, however, that most of the country's new PV capacity for last year was installed in March, just before the Renewable Obligation (RO) scheme for large-scale renewable energy projects was closed to installations smaller than 5 MW.
New additions for March 2017 reached 41 MW, while new capacity for February and January was 30 MW and 40 MW, respectively. These numbers, however, are only provisional and will likely be revised upwards in the next monthly statistics. The main driver for last month's growth, BEIS said, was the segment for PV projects ranging in size from 50 kW to 5 MW.
At the end of March, the country's cumulative installed power was 11,858 MW, of which 11,963 MW is located in Great Britain, while another 151 MW is connected to North Ireland's grid.
Most of this capacity was in the form of PV projects larger than 25 MW (1,399 MW), PV plants with a power range of 5 MW to 25 MW (4,201 MW) and systems ranging in size from 50 kW to 5 MW (2,829 MW). As for the residential and commercial segments, PV installations with a power of up to 4 kW represented the largest share with 2,481 MW, while PV systems with a power range of 4 kW to 50 kW account for the remaining capacity.
The cumulative PV capacity also comprises the first PV plant installed under the country's Contracts for Differences (CfD) scheme, the Charity solar farm (11.9 MW).

« Spitzer's Upstate Follies, Part II – By George J. Marlin
Rudy Giuliani: Life Long Liberal — Edited by George J. Marlin »
Michael Balboni: Governor Spitzer's Homeland Security Lackey – By George J. Marlin
Republican Michael Balboni believed a stint in the Spitzer Administration as Homeland Security Deputy Secretary would enhance his image as an anti-terrorist expert and enable him to rake in the dollars as a security consultant in his next life.
Recent events, however, had to deflate Balboni's future financial expectations.
First there was Balboni's failure to detect a security problem in his own office. Balboni had to banish his top aide, William Howard, when it was revealed that he was a key plotter in the Troopergate scandal.
Now Balboni must be the chief cheerleader for Spitzer's ill-conceived plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
Despite the fact that Mayor Bloomberg, most law enforcement officials and county clerks, and 72 percent of New Yorkers oppose the plan, Balboni must shout "right on" when Spitzer labels opponents as immoral, unethical or on the fringe of society.
Balboni looked like a fool when he returned from Washington last week with a revised three-tier program which permits issuance of driver's licenses to illegal aliens; an enhanced license for citizens to cross the Canadian border without a passport; and a license that will be accepted as valid I.D. for citizens to enter airports and federal buildings.
To rationalize the need for this ridiculous "compromise" program (which will be confusing and a nightmare to administer) Balboni whined that it was the feds fault. "[They were] ready to say [Spitzer's original plan] was a threat to national security," Balboni said.
But the Feds quickly blew Balboni's cover. U.S. Homeland Secretary Michael Chertoff, when asked to comment on the new plan, said, "I don't endorse giving driver's licenses to people who are not here legally [but] federal law does allow states to make the choice."
Sent on the road to promote this new policy, Balboni fell flat on his face at a meeting of the Sheriff's Association. The organization rejected Balboni's argument that it was really a security enhancement, stating "…we do not feel that providing a driver's license to illegal immigrants is appropriate and, as an association, we do not support that program."
Livingston County Sheriff, John York, reflected the views of his colleagues saying, "When you allow people you know are lawbreakers to be legitimized with a New York license, what kind of example are you setting?"
By defending the indefensible, Michael Balboni is viewed by federal and local law enforcement officials as a laughing stock. And when he leaves the Spitzer Administration, he will not be hailed as the new Giuliani of the safety industry.

Issue 25: #25
All Content is Useful
Ramy Raoof
25: BIDOUN: We held a meeting last night. An email was sent out to something like two thousand people. Twelve people showed up. We were hesitant… we had no idea if our questions were, like, boring. We were not clear on what we wanted among ourselves, but we all wanted to get started. We wanted to find out, eg, who they would want to talk to, or what conversations they wanted to listen in on… what would make this issue of _Bidoun_ exciting for them as Cairenes.
A conversation with human rights activist Ramy Raoof, who set up a multimedia tent in Tahrir Square in late January, where people could share their video footage, photos, and testimonies from the revolution.
Bidoun: How did people find you?
Ramy Raoof: I just went and hung out in Tahrir Square for long hours. We had big signs in different languages saying our purpose was to gather images. So people just came to us with their memory cards and cellphones with Bluetooth and different cables. We had a team of six or more with five-hundred-gigabyte hard disks. I had a huge bag with laptops and cameras and cables and everything. It was like Radio Shack in a bag. We provided a place for everyone around us to charge their cellphones and cameras. Every few hours, we'd send our friends to an access point where there was internet, and we'd put the data online. Or when the internet was down, we'd transfer it to DVDs.
B: The army didn't give you any problems?
RR: The problems were not only from the army. I don't look Egyptian — I was beaten many times in the revolution because I look foreign. Even when they see my passport and my Egyptian ID, they think that it's fake. So officers would either take my camera away from me or hand me to a military checkpoint. And there, if an officer is wise enough, he would just let me go.
B: So if I go online right now, how do I find this stuff?
RR: We've put everything on a torrent — you can find a link on the website of the Egyptian Blog for Human Rights.
B: Do you ever throw anything away?
RR: Never. All content during the revolution is useful. It doesn't matter how good the quality is; what matters is the content. A seemingly useless video might show you the rank of a police officer, the kind of weapon he's using, his name tag, a car's license plate number, the name of a police station. That's why the people who are investigating what is happening, they call us. We give them thousands of gigs of stuff.
B: Do you know if the investigators learned anything helpful from it?
RR: Yeah they did, especially from the sniper videos. There were very few videos of snipers shooting people — until I met many people who had seen the snipers themselves. One of our friends from the Al Jazeera crew was at the Ramses Hotel, and he filmed a sniper targeting with a green laser. When he first told me, I didn't believe him. Lasers? Then he showed me the video. I also have bultugaeah (thugs), at least twelve interviews with them. I took the videos myself, in Tahrir Square. We had this kind of prison in Tahrir that we built for people that we catch, and the next morning we hand them in to the military. So of course once we catch someone, people keep beating him like shit, and then at 4am when everything is calm I go inside with my camera and tell him, My name is blah blah, and I do this, and, Can I interview you. If he says yes, I ask him if he wants his face shown or not. If he says yes, I just film him talking, and if he says no, I put the camera on his leg and that's it.
B: Some thugs said yes to having their faces shown?
RR: Many said yes. Because at some point they felt that the officials cheated them and lied to them and they wanted revenge. So, here is my face, here is my name, here's what happened to me. There were some people in suits in the neighborhood saying they're from the NDP, and handing out two hundred pounds. And they told people there are some Americans in Tahrir Square trying to destroy stuff — we need you to go tomorrow morning to beat them up.
B: Did they actually say, "Go beat them up"?
RR: Yeah, just go beat them up. The meeting point was at the Ramses Hotel and they told them that they'd find a truck full of stones. They said, just keep beating people with stones from the bridge. Very simple.
B: Did you talk to any police officers?
RR: I spoke with one ex-army officer and with two police officers. The army officer kept saying he's not a thug, he was just caught by mistake and people are wrongly accusing him. And the other two, they said, Yes we were using Molotov cocktails, we were paid money to do this. It's hard to say who is honest and who is not, but it's good to just get all the information out to everyone. And then, if it makes sense, we put it into a legal case. We have all these documents from this union of doctors who were in Tahrir; they have an initiative to document all cases of violence they saw, how many bullets, the names of victims. They agreed to share it with me and I told them I'd make it available online to everyone, though I would remove any private or personal information.
The only content I lost — I didn't throw anything away — was from the 26th of February, when protestors were again attacked by the military. They were beating us. I had a live stream of the whole thing. They were beating me and I was live streaming it. And I am tweeting. They were just like, put away that stuff. Just run for your life.
B: You tweeted while you were running?
RR: Yeah, I had the keypad going — it's not like I need to look. [Laughs] At some point I was running and just put the camera up and pointed it backward. When I got home and saw the video, they were exactly behind me and chasing me with sticks.
B: What did you do before the revolution?
RR: I worked with human rights NGOs on how they can use cellphones and online platforms in order to spread information and raise people's awareness, and how human rights defenders can maintain their privacy and security online.
B: What do you think about Facebook?
RR: I hate Facebook. I don't expect anything good from them. Twitter, they are much better. I also hate Flickr. They removed our pictures. Our friend was working security somewhere and he found two DVDs with all the police officers' pictures, their names, ID numbers, passport numbers, everything. We put them online and in forty-eight hours, Flickr removed it all, and sent an email saying I'd violated copyrights. They're public-domain pictures, there are no copyrights, and they're of people involved in torture and kidnapping. How can you remove them?
B: Is there still a steady stream of media, given the pressure from the military and everything that's happened in Tahrir since the revolution?
RR: The army is of course putting extreme pressure on all local newspapers. They sent a message from the ministry consul to every newspaper in Egypt telling them not to cover or publish anything unless you have our permission. In the last twenty days there were three human rights reports and five statements about the actions of the army and not a single newspaper or TV channel covered it. If the army could control online platforms, they would put limits on them, too.
B: Do you think what people are saying is true, that state security has been disbanded?
RR: It's still the same. We have many leaks from state security and we are going to put them online soon. The leaks say they own software worth millions of Egyptian from that company to state security, and state security to them. They were learning how to monitor SMS, how to stop SMS, how to interfere with the content of each SMS, how to block the internet in each street and city. They were training for this.
B: So there's an official contact for this company?
RR: There is.
B: Do you want to contact him?
RR: No, I don't want to contact him. I want to fuck him.
B: Having worked with technology and human rights for so long, do you think this revolution was unique in terms of the role played by the internet?
RR: People keep calling it the Facebook revolution. There's no truth to that. These are just sexy words made up by the American administration and newspapers, but they don't have real meaning. Define "Facebook revolution." We didn't have Facebook from January 25 to February 6. Facebook didn't mobilize people. Very few people on the streets were on Twitter.
Facebook did help in spreading our ideas. It was the only way we could deliver the facts on the ground, because the government was controlling all state media and kept publishing fake videos and spreading false information. Pick any particular date, and Channel 1, the state media, was showing a video of Tahrir Square nearly empty: a fake picture with the label "LIVE" on it.
B: That was amazing. Al Jazeera actually decided to show what was on state media.
RR: Yeah! It was very rude of them. [Laughs]
B: Just to clarify: you don't think the ability to create and share content via the internet is a part of why now — rather than five, ten years ago?
RR: People, for the first time, agreed on something. They didn't agree before. For example, in Tunisia, with Mohamed Bouazizi — it wasn't the first time someone set himself on fire. In Egypt, we had torture all the time, but people didn't speak about it.
B: But you would agree that something shifted, with those first videos of torture?
RR: The difference was the content.
B: It's interesting to meet someone whose work is all about propagating information on the internet yet who doesn't believe the internet is an essential part…
RR: Because it's not!
B: So why do you work so hard?
RR: It would still happen without the internet! It helps but it's not a basic tool. That's the point.
B: What's a basic tool?
RR: Demonstrations. Offline tools are the best. If you want to fight, go on the ground and then use the tools around you. Use newspapers, use colors, use graffiti, use cellphones with internet, use your camera, use dancing. But the basic tool is peaceful assembly on the ground. That's what made us successful, even after the internet was shut down.
Though there were a few of us who still had access after they shut it down — forty or fifty of us. It was nice actually: I'm online in Egypt! [Laughing]
B: How?
RR: We had one company who said no, we won't shut down the internet. They were attacked for it. The others could have refused as well. The mobile companies could have said, no, we won't kill people. Many people are dead because there were no cellphones.
B: So how do you approach this as something real and not just a collection of images and facts and narratives?
RR: Whenever there is a question raised in the media nowadays, I find a picture about it. People are saying there were no girls with hijab in Tahrir Square, and I have hundreds of pictures of girls with hijab. People were saying that there were no small kids playing around in Tahrir Square, and I have pictures of many kids — like, a small school — playing in Tahrir. Whatever people say and discuss, there is multimedia content that can prove or disprove it. There is too much content.

Famous neighbours
aving famous neighbours can be a problem. Sandwiched between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny it does not quite help having as many as five grand crus – Clos-de-la-Roche, Clos-Saint-Denis, Clos-de-Lambrays, Clos-de-Tart and Bonnes Mares (in part only, the rest belongs to Chambolle-Musigny) within the commune. Morey-Saint-Denis still finds itself a bit in the shadow of its more well-known neighbours. In the early 1970's a bottle of Morey-Saint-Denis sold for only half the price of a Gevrey-Chambertin or a Chambolle-Musigny. In this respect things has improved considerably for the Morey winegrowers since then, with prices closing in on the neighbours'.
Its origins are Gallo-Roman, first known as Moriacum or Muriacum. It was first mentioned in writing back in 1120. Over the centuries ownership of the land changed between the Abbeys of Citeaux, St. Germain-des-Prés and La Bussières-sur-Oche.
In 1023 a college of canons was installed up in the Hautes Cotes de Nuits, behind Morey-Saint-Denis. Among the relics in their possession was the cranium of Saint-Denis, Paris' first bishop who was beheaded after having irritated the tempers of pagan priests for his many conversions. This was during the third century and legend has it that after he had had his head chopped off he picked it up and walked the three kilometres/two miles where you today find the Saint Denis Basilica.
Documents show that the canons owned a cellar in Morey in 1242 and it is therefore thought that it was they who began production at the Clos-Saint-Denis (first mentioned in 1367) just north of the village. The original Clos-Saint-Denis only accounted for slightly more than 2 ha. Today's clos is 6.6 ha, according to a decree dated December 8, 1936.
Also the Bernardines at the Abbaye de Tart owned vines in Morey, hence Clos-de-Tart. Ever since 1251 it has remained a monopole and unaltered. Today it is owned by Mommessin.
During the 30 year war, in 1636, Morey was completely destroyed by fire.
In 1927 Morey en Montagne became Morey-Saint-Denis, 80 years after their neighbour Gevrey-Chambertin started the trend started the trend of adding the name of one of its vineyards to the village name. It took the locals several years to agree on what the village should be called. Neither Morey-Tart nor Morey-la-Roche quite had what was required. Morey-les-Ormes and Morey-Chambertin were also dismissed and even though Morey-Saint-Denis won in the end the anti-clerical lobby disapproved of it for quite some time.
Entering Morey-Saint-Denis from the north on the Route des Grand Crus after the first bend one arrives at the village square. Apart from the boulanger Guery there is not much here. But there is a nice view overlooking Le Village (both premier cru and village) and the other plots down towards the RN74. Continuing through the village one passes the church and a bit further down the road is the, for the region, somewhat oddly named hotel Cote-Rotie. There is however a premier cru plot at the top of the vineyards called Côte-Rôtie, not quite as famous as its namesake in the northern Rhône. In the village you will also find another hotel/restaurant – Castel Tres Girard.
In 2006 the Caveau des Vignerons was opened in what was once the village café opposite the church. This little shop represents a dozen or so of the winegrowers in the village. It was initiated by the local council and mayor Pierre Boisset and is managed by Sylvie and Thierry Beaumont of Domaine des Beaumont. A selection of wines is available for tasting and the total number of available wines is well over a hundred.
– As winegrowers we are often out in the vineyards and don't have the time to receive customers, explains Thierry Beaumont. We wanted to set up a shop so we can receive people on holidays and when we are out working. The prices are the same as at the domaines and the shop is open seven days a week. This far we have had good results and the customers return every year.
The appellation of Morey-Saint-Denis not only applies for red wine but for white as well. Still the production of white Morey-Saint-Denis is minimal. Only a few hundred cases are made each year.
The area under vines is less than a third of Gevrey-Chambertin's. With its 150 ha Morey-Saint-Denis is even 30 ha behind Chambolle-Musigny. Still there are a total of 20 premier crus, most of them very small. Only Les Millandes, Les Monts-Luisants, Clos-des-Ormes and Clos Sorbé are larger than 3 ha.

Congress Hasn't Given up on Nuclear Power
Two bills that could revitalize the nuclear energy industry moved forward this week.

Two Congressional acts focused on nuclear power seem poised to land on the president's desk sometime soon, potentially jump-starting an industry that has of late struggled in the United States and around the world.
The Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA), which passed in the Senate on March 7, will provide private companies the license to work with national laboratories on new nuclear reactor designs. Because a similar bill has already passed in the House, MIT Technology Review estimates it won't be long before this bill moves to the White House.
"NEICA will help the U.S. get the most out of our world-class R&D infrastructure and our talented pool of innovators and entrepreneurs," said Josh Freed, Vice President of the Clean Energy Program at think Tank Third Way, in a statement. "We need the private and public sectors working together if we are to bring these important low-carbon technologies to market. This bill will move us a big step closer."
During the same week, the Senate energy committee also passed Advanced Nuclear Energy Technologies Act, which directs the Secretary of Energy to coordinate at least four demonstration projects for advanced nuclear reactors over the next decade. This bill still needs to pass the full Senate.
Before the bills are fully implemented, they both must be approved by the House and signed by the president. Yet if they are, the U.S. could take a very different direction in clean energy policy than the rest of the world.
In the aftermath of nuclear accidents like that at Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011, nuclear power has continued to fall in favor. According to the Energy Information Association, the U.S. currently has 61 nuclear power plants in operation, though plants are closing up shop all over the country.

Nuclear has become wildly unpopular in Japan over the last seven years, despite previous plans for the country to lean heavily on nuclear to reduce its emissions. In Europe, Vox reports that Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland are all shuttering their facilities; however, Sweden has found it difficult to do the same in the face of difficulties meeting their energy needs with wind and solar power.
Indeed, though there are still huge questions remaining about the high costs and safety risks of nuclear energy, the fact remains that nuclear is one of the few proven emissions-free sources of power that run rain or shine, wind or no wind. Bills like NEICA could be invaluable in compelling research on how to use nuclear power more safely, exploring smaller plants and technology like molten salt reactors that run on alternatives to uranium.
In the face of global climate change, there's no question that clean energy is the future. While solar and wind power are growing fast, it may behoove us to revisit all of our options.

In addition to computing fatigue lives, these fatigue analyzers are used to transform finite element model stress contours into fatigue life or safety factor contours. Just upload your FEA results file and let eFatigue do the analysis.
There are two primary methods for estimating the fatigue resistance of components and structures from Finite Element Model results. Stress-Life analysis assumes that the stresses always remain elastic even at the stress concentrators. Most of the life is consumed nucleating small microcracks. This is typical for long life situations (millions of cycles) where the fatigue resistance is controlled by nominal stresses and material strength. Strain-Life is used for situations where plastic deformation occurs around the stress concentrations. An example would be in a structure that has one major load cycle every day. Both stress-life and strain-life provide an estimate of how long it will take to form a crack about 1mm long. We suggest that you first review the constant amplitude section if you are unfamiliar with the basic methods and terminology.
eFatigue provides analytical tools for processing FEA data for both of the methods. Fatigue analysis from a finite element model is essentially the same as constant or variable amplitude fatigue analysis with two major differences. First, multiaxial stresses must be considered in the fatigue assessment. In ductile materials, multiaxial stresses considerations are particularly important because shear stresses, not principle stresses, are responsible for the nucleation and initial growth of fatigue cracks. The simple uniaxial approach contained in many other fatigue post processors is simply inadequate. Second, eFatigue includes stress gradient effects for an accurate fatigue life estimate.
The ANSYS *.rst file, ABAQUS *.fil, Pro Mechanica ASCII, and Solidworks ASCII file formats are currently supported.
Results from the fatigue analysis are summarized in contour plots and a series of bar charts. You may download a results text file for viewing in an editor. The format is compatable with the open source graphical viewer Paraview. To use Paraview just change the file extension from *.txt to *.vtk. eFatigue also returns an *.rst or *.fil file with the fatigue results for more detailed display with your own plotting software.
Finders are provided to obtain the necessary input information for material properties.
This analysis is used for situations where both the strain and temperature vary with time.

Rats learn to sense infrared in hours thanks to brain implants
Rat brains quickly adapted to use data from four infrared sensors, allowing them to "see" in the dark and paving the way for augmenting the human brain

BRAINS get data about the world through senses – sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. In a lab in North Carolina, a group of rats is getting an extra one. Thanks to implants in their brains, they have learned to sense and react to infrared light. The rats show the brain's ability to process unfamiliar data– an early step towards augmenting the human brain.
Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University School of Medicine is leading the experiment. His team implanted four clusters of electrodes in the rats' barrel cortex – the part of the brain that handles whisker sensation (doi.org/bdb6). Each cluster is connected to a sensor that converts infrared light into an electrical signal. Feeding stations placed at the four corners of the rats' cage take turns emitting infrared signals that guide the rats to them, releasing a reward only when the rats press a button on the feeding station that is emiting the infrared signal.
In an older, single sensor version of the experiment, it took the rats one month to adapt. With four sensors, it took them just three days.
"This is a truly remarkable demonstration of the plasticity of the mammalian brain," says Christopher James of the University of Warwick, UK.
All the extra data that goes into making the rats' new sense doesn't appear to diminish their original senses. "The results show that nature has apparently designed the adult mammalian brain with the possibility of upgrades, and Nicolelis' team is leading the way showing how to do it," says Andrea Stocco of the University of Washington in Seattle.
Nicolelis says unpublished data from a follow-up experiment shows that rats learn even faster when the sensors feed directly into their visual cortex, taking just 6 or 7 hours. Nicolelis thinks the speed-up comes from using a part of the brain that already interprets light. He is planning a subsequent experiment in which the rats can only get a reward if they "see" both parts of the spectrum at once, visual and infrared.
And if it could be done with infrared, why not with ultraviolet light, microwaves, or other inputs? "It would be a fusion, total vision," says Nicolelis.
"It seems that nature designed the adult mammalian brain with the possibility of upgrades"
"Now there's no doubt that it's easy for the mammalian brain, even in adulthood, to adaptively use a novel, never-experienced sense, such as infrared," says Yuji Ikegaya of the University of Tokyo in Japan.
Nicolelis' brain interfaces will probably find their first application in the medical world, but they are part of a trend that erodes the boundary between our brain and the outside world. Human beings already implant sensors and chips in their flesh, and although implanting in the brain is dangerous, the benefits may outweigh the risks someday.
"Is it safe, and are these capabilities we necessarily want to develop?" asks Filippa Lentzos of King's College London. "Could it be abused by the military, to enhance battlefield performance or degrade enemy performance?"
But Lentzos points out that implants such as hearing aids are widely offered to patients. "We do a lot of this already, so whether completely new senses would be acceptable is a very interesting debate."
