Northern Irish art: paintings and politics
Posted 18 Jul 2017, by Edwin Coomasaru
If Northern Ireland seemed to slip from British imagination and discourse after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA), which marked an end to the Troubles (1968–1998), it has now returned to play a crucial role in Westminster politics. The confidence and supply arrangement between the Conservative Party and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has brought the province to the forefront of British public attention.
Landscape in Northern Ireland
Fred Balshaw (1860–1936)
Bolton Library & Museum Services, Bolton Council
Brexit negotiations too have been overshadowed by the question of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, and the 2016 referendum has led to renewed calls for a border poll on reunification with the Republic. Land, of course, is at the heart of the conflict. It is in the imaginative terrain of landscape that ideas of war and peace, mastery and powerlessness are mapped.
Sketch near Lisburn c.1915
David Gould (1871–1952)
National Museums Northern Ireland
The Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain were brought into political union through the 1800 Acts of Union. The nineteenth century was a violent, turbulent time for Ireland. The country was ruled by absentee Protestant landlords, over a largely Catholic tenant population.
Agitations for Home Rule and independence increasingly grew in momentum, particularly in the wake of the Great Famine (1845–1852), in which roughly a million died and a million emigrated. On first impression, it might seem that British and Irish landscape painting tells a different story: one of tranquillity and peace.
Falls of Powerscourt, near Bray, Co. Wicklow
Richard Sasse (1774–1849), watercolour on paper, 1818
There is always a politics at play in representing the landscape. In English artist Richard Sasse's Falls of Powerscourt, near Bray, Co. Wicklow, cattle graze peacefully by a waterfall in the golden glow of afternoon sun. A gentle, reassuring image, picturing nature as giving – the trees framing a shelter, the cows promising food.
Other British artists toured Ireland, painting the countryside with similar tranquillity: Alfred Fripp's Galway Woman and Child and Francis Topham's Feeding Chickens romanticise peasant life as simple and harmonious.
From a British perspective the intention is obvious: a picture of Ireland as bounteous, benign and content would have been reassuring to those back home.
Irish artists like Bartholomew Watkins also painted pastoral scenes at times of mass death and violent upheaval, but to different ends. Ruins on Inniscaltra, Lough Derg, for example, casts a scene of cattle grazing amid fragments of early Christian ecclesiastical buildings, a warm light silhouetting them against a spectacular sunset.
Ecclesiastical Ruins on Inniscaltra, or Holy Island, Lough Derg, Co. Galway, after Sunset: "This Island is One of Great Historic Interest" – Petrie c.1863
Bartholomew Colles Watkins (1833–1891)
Like Sasse's watercolour, this work represents the natural world as peaceful and providing. But unlike Sasse, Watkins chose a specific location to evoke an image of Ireland before British rule – to also imagine a future time in which the country regained its sovereignty. A renewed interest in Ireland's past drove the Celtic Revival in the arts, which fed (and was fed by) increasing momentum behind the Home Rule and independence movements.
Dawn, Killary Harbour 1921
Paul Henry (1876–1958)
What can we learn about this earlier historical moment, more than a century and a half later? The UK Leave campaign (supported by the DUP) last year might have had 'take back control' as its slogan, and conjured up images of the white cliffs of Dover in its appeals to a nationalist 'British' landscape – but Northern Irish artists have spent the last couple of decades considering completely different conceptions of nature.
After the GFA, in particular, there was a sense of landscape not as (simply) bounteous and giving – but haunting and violent. Mary MacIntyre's photographic series A Contemporary Sublime, for example, plays self-consciously with a history of pastoral painting. Evoking both sunlit forests or gardens and bodies of water clogged with rubbish and detritus, as well as haunting Gothic fogs devouring a once sturdy-looking land, the series is saturated with a sense of anxiety.
In Willie Doherty's video works too, like Ghost Story, the trauma of the Troubles is described as a spectral flood entombed in the earth but beginning to seep out.
Ghost Story clip from Willie Doherty on Vimeo.
Similarly, Ursula Burke's porcelain sculpture Fáilte (Welcome) imagines the ground as sticky and liquid, cannibalising farmers and their chickens, churning them to a pulp.
If these artists tell us something, perhaps it is this: idealised images of the land are often used as an instrument to fuel militarism and mastery. At a time of Brexit talks, perhaps it is crucial to rethink how traditional ideas of landscape might give us a false sense of power and omnipotence. Recent Northern Irish art points to ways of being that lie beyond jingoistic fantasies, something needed now as much as ever.

The Story Of The Edwin Hawkins Singers' 'Oh Happy Day'
XPN | By Alex Lewis
Published July 30, 2018 at 3:56 PM CDT
Edwin Hawkins, a Grammy Award-winning gospel singer and arranger, passed away this past January at the age of 74. He left behind an unmatched legacy, revolutionizing what it means to be a gospel artist. His crowning achievement was bringing his arrangement of "Oh Happy Day," originally an 18th Century hymn, to wide audiences. The song debuted 50 years ago in 1968 and became the first gospel song to hit the secular charts.
Hawkins' use of contemporary sounds — a Latin groove, synthesizers, a soul-influenced lead vocal performance — created a new model for gospel music. It opened the door for artists like Aretha Franklin, The Winans and Richard Smallwood to bring the Good News into the secular realm. "Oh Happy Day" has become a gospel standard. It's been covered by hundreds of artists across genres.
WXPN's Gospel Roots of Rock and Soul producer Alex Lewis brings us this piece on the history and legacy of Edwin Hawkins' gospel classic. Hear the story of "Oh Happy Day" in the player and watch the 1969 Big Sur Folk Festival performance below.

Q: GLSL weird '<' syntax error in vertex shader Ok, so i'm starting my adventure with openGL 4 and shaders. And i occured weird syntax error while compiling vertext shader.
Even when i take simple vertex shader:
#version 400
in vec3 vector_position;
void main()
{
    gl_Position = vec4(vector_position, 1.0);
}

i do get this error:

Vertex shader failed to compile with the following errors:
  ERROR: 0:1: error(#132) Syntax error: '<' parse error
  ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors.  No code generated

What is weird about this, my fragment shader is compiling without errors:
#version 400
out vec4 color;
void main()
{
    color = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
}

and gives this message:

compiler_log:
  Fragment shader was successfully compiled to run on hardware.

I tried testing those shaders by putting them as const char* in code, and they work fine.
To make it easier here are some additional informations:

*

*using SDL 2.0

*initializing OpenGL by SDL2.0

*using GLEW to load extensions

*reading text files by this function:
std::ifstream file(path);

if(!file.good())
{
    OutputDebugStringA("File not found");
    return nullptr;
}

std::stringstream stream ;
stream << file.rdbuf();

file.close();

return stream.str();

Edit:
Adding '\0' at the end of string containing shader gave me other error:
compiler_log:
Vertex shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: 0:1: error(#132) Syntax error: '1.0' parse error
ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors.  No code generated

Edit2:
Someone wants to show him how do i handle whole string:
ShaderClass ShaderLoaderClass::createStaticShader(const std::string& file)
{
    ResourceManager manager;
    std::string container = "Just simple container";
    container = manager.loadTextFile(file + ".vs");
    container.push_back('\0');
    //OutputDebugStringA(container.c_str());
    const char* vertex_shader = container.c_str();
    GLint lenVS = container.length();
    container = manager.loadTextFile(file + ".fs");
    container.push_back('\0');
    //OutputDebugStringA(container.c_str());
    const char* fragment_shader = container.c_str();
    GLint lenFS = container.length();

    unsigned int vs = glCreateShader (GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
    unsigned int fs = glCreateShader (GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);
    glShaderSource (vs, 1, &vertex_shader, &lenVS);
    glCompileShader (vs);
    glShaderSource (fs, 1, &fragment_shader, &lenFS);
    glCompileShader (fs);

    checkErrors(vs);
    checkErrors(fs);

    unsigned int shader_programme = glCreateProgram();
    glAttachShader (shader_programme, fs);
    glAttachShader (shader_programme, vs);
    glLinkProgram (shader_programme);

    return ShaderClass(shader_programme);
}

A: here is your problem
const char* vertex_shader = container.c_str();
GLint lenVS = container.length();
container = manager.loadTextFile(file + ".fs");

after this the vertex_shader pointer is not valid anymore, the c_str() pointer is only valid as long as the container doesn't change (assigning to it is changing)
use 2 std::strings instead:
std::string vertex_container = manager.loadTextFile(file + ".vs");
//OutputDebugStringA(vertex_container.c_str());
const char* vertex_shader = vertex_container.c_str();
GLint lenVS = vertex_container.length();

std::string fragment_container = manager.loadTextFile(file + ".fs");
//OutputDebugStringA(fragment_container.c_str());
const char* fragment_shader = fragment_container.c_str();
GLint lenFS = fragment_container.length();

I have experimented with Lisp (actually Scheme) and found it to be a very beautiful language that I am interested in learning more about. However, it appears that Lisp is never used in serious projects, and I haven't seen it listed as a desired skill on any job posting. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has used Lisp or seen it used in the "real world", or who knows whether it is considered a purely academic language.
Does Emacs' elisp count? That's the most "real world" use that I am familiar with (although I'm not sure that Emacs counts as "real world" either).
ITA Software uses Common Lisp for its QPX low-fare search engine which powers sites like Orbitz, Kayak, and American and United Airlines among many others. It's also used in part for its upcoming passenger reservation system for Air Canada. Paul Graham has written a little bit about Lisp at ITA in the past.
using that we have developed and operate a web application for the hungarian government that collect data from the local governments and calculates the relevant part of the budget of the country. this is the second budget we are planning now.
it has about 4000 users, and it runs on a cluster of computers.
as of "academic language": we are playing with things like persistent continuations for business process modelling. it's some random lisp code with a few extra process-related primitives and a few constraints. it can stop at random points in the code and fall asleep (get comitted into the database) while it waits for some external event.
Reddit was originally written in Lisp and then later rewritten in Python. There's a good analysis of the switch and what it means for Lisp over at Finding Lisp.
ITA software uses a fair amount of CL.
A fairly recent open-source project that is still enjoying consistent and considerable development activity is LilyPond.
It's a music notation program that takes a easy-to-write text file as input and converts it into beautiful sheet music (pdf files). Offers all kinds of ways to fiddle with the output if you want to. It can even produce decent sounding midi files. I use it whenever I need to produce nice sheet music that other musicians will read from. I think it's better than Finale and it's free!
In the commercial category, there is also Notehead's Igor Engraver. Unfortunately, the site doesn't allow me to post a direct link to the page that talks about Lisp, so go to downloads and look at the bottom for a "Lisp" link.
There's also Naughty Dog (a computer game company) who use Lisp in their games. This article talks about that and even shows some code.
And there are many others that have been mentioned and linked to, but these are the main ones that resonate with me (being a composer/programmer/gamer/... type).
The first three of those were written using Weblocks, a CL web framework. Wigflip and Clutu use pure Hunchentoot.
I believe Autocad has extensions that use Lisp to extend the product. See AutoLISP.
Peter Christensen has compiled a great list of (financially) successful lisp companies.
There are plenty of companies, projects, and products that use Lisp in a variety of roles — I've done work for several of them.
you may never know that your latest piece of consumer electronics was built with, or even programmed in, Common Lisp, or that some service you use is powered by a Lisp server. It would be incorrect to conclude that Lisp is "never used".
… and, like so many domains, those jobs never appeared on Monster.com. Just because you've never seen a job posting for it doesn't mean that there are no Lisp-required or right-tool-for-the-job opportunities out there.
The GIMP's plug-in system is based on Scheme, I believe. I don't know if this is completely "real world", but it seems to be a practical application of Lisp, at the very least.
Look up ACL2. It's a lisp based formal logic engine that has been used for a number of "real world" project like formal methods in software security and proofs of correctness for Floating point hardware.
I was quite impressed when I found out that the PRISM («The Prism project is a long term project to build software tools for radiation therapy planning, including artificial intelligence tools as well as manual simulation systems.») is written in Common Lisp.
At my job I am writing software that uses DICOM and I must say that writing good DICOM implementation is a hard task. In their report they describe how Common Lisp let them build a good DICOM implementation that is better (at least in some ways) than other implementation with lesser effort.
Lisp is used in real-world algorithmic music composition with the Common Music library. Rick Taube's Notes from the Metalevel is a great introductory text to the subject which has a bunch of examples in Lisp for composing. See the examples directory here and a copy of the text here.
Well, it's hardly mainstream, but I use lisp for as much of my research code as is manageable. It's by far the best language I've found for the balance of dynamism & expressiveness while still generating decent performance for numerics, etc..
I just realized now that Maxima, a program for symbolic algebra, is written in Common Lisp. I've been using that for quite some time and I think it's also a very good real life example.
Scheme programming language is used as a scripting language by FLUENT Flow Modelling Software (computational fluid dynamics, CFD).
For the AutoCAD application AutoLISP/Visual LISP are used a lot for real projects and there is a large community of users.
I see a few people have already mentioned it but lisp is widely used in custom Autocad development. Autocad includes a built-in lisp interpreter. It is one of the simplest ways to extend the product and provides the ability to quickly enhance your productivity.
No compiling is required, on the user side, and 1, or more, line lisp expressions can be entered on the command line and executed immediately on the drawing. For designers and draftsman willing to take even a small step to learning the basics of lisp it can provide a huge productivity boon.
Autocad does provide a number of other ways to customize their products; ObjectARX (C++), VB, C#, etc.. The lisp interface is by far the easiest to learn and implement. And the majority of other dev environments use lisp in some fashion.
The lisp interpreter was made available in a very early version of Autocad and was called Variables and expressions. It was fairly limited but was such a success with the users that additional functionality was quickly added. A full blown visual IDE was later on (in version 2000 I think).
I would hate to guess how many millions (billions?) of lines of lisp code are available for Autocad. A google search on "autocad .lsp" returns 2.3 million hits.

But the pips of apples are also a favourite dainty, and it is recorded by the old chronicler Matthew Paris (Hist.
The mulundo bears a fruit about the size of a cricket ball covered with a hard green shell and containing scarlet pips like a pomegranate.
The pear may be readily raised by sowing the pips of ordinary cultivated or of wilding kinds, these forming what are known as free or pear stocks, on which the choicer varieties are grafted for increase.


"Back in 1947, a pair of physicists demonstrated that when a beam of light reflects off a surface, the point of reflection can shift forward when parts of the beam interfere with each other. 60 years later, another group of physicists discovered that this so-called Goos-Hanchen effect could sometimes be negative so the point of reflection would go back toward the source rather than away from it. They even suggested that if the negative effect could be made big enough, it could cancel out the forward movement of the light. In other words, the light would become trapped at a single location. Now, physicists have demonstrated this effect for the first time using light reflected off a sheet of silica. The trick they've employed is to place a silicon diffraction grating in contact with the silica to make the interference effect large enough to counteract the forward motion of the light. And by using several gratings with different spacings, they've trapped an entire rainbow. The light can be easily released by removing the grating. Until now, it has only been possible to trap light efficiently inside Bose Einstein Condensates at temperatures close to absolute zero. The new technique could be used as a cheap optical buffer or memory, making it an enabling technology for purely optical computing."

Dead bodies. There have to be dead bodies in there. Or maybe a lifetime supply of orange vests, lightly splattered with inconspicuous blood for good measure. I'm not sure what's in his work shed, but I do know fifteen minutes ago I felt like the world was ending. And now my lungs are pumping and my blood is warming and I'm walking toward the thing he's motioning to.
He steps all the way inside, and I follow him in. After he flips the light switch, I make out a lumpy figure on the dirt floor, covered by a burlap blanket.
"Can I trust you?" he asks.
He bends down, knees creaking, and pulls back the blanket.
I gasp when I see what he's revealed. A Titan like I've never seen before, with smooth black steel and silver hooves dirtied by years of neglect. The animal's legs bend at awkward angles, and its head is thrown back as if in pain. Though its eyes are closed, soft faux lashes encircle the sockets, giving the horse a kind appearance despite its intimidating black coat.
I circle the creature, and my eyes land on the control panel at the base of its neck. The dials are different from today's Titans, but I could figure them out.
I could figure them out.
That's how quickly I go from studying this broken-down Titan to thinking about the one rider who will be allowed to enter the circuit this year, free of charge.
I could race in the Titan Derby.
I could win and save my family's home.

Established in 1997, we are consciously a small firm, employing five highly experienced consultants. Each of us has years of experience leading fundraising teams and major appeals, and we have all personally solicited seven figure gifts. We feel this gives us a unique perspective; we have personally tackled the challenges that you are facing and we have walked in your shoes.
Our speciality is major gift fundraising, both supporting on-going programmes and helping establish specific major appeals and new programmes.We work with a wide range of clients primarily in the social care, health and education sectors, and have recently supported the major gift teams of national charities including Cancer Research UK, the MS Society, Diabetes UK, RNIB, Save the Children, Prostate Cancer UK, Kings College London, RSPCA, OnSide and the Anna Freud Centre. In addition to this charity consultancy, we also advise a number of major donors who engage us to assist them deliver their philanthropic activities, again giving us a helpful insight into the donor perspective.
We work incredibly flexibly, delivering consultancy tailored to each clients' specific needs. This support includes working alongside in-house teams to develop cases for support, establish development boards and create and implement major gift fundraising strategies. We take a very practical and realistic approach to our work and we are known for our ability to establish rigorous infrastructure and help make big ideas a reality.
Our approach is always to coach and mentor executive teams, to ensure they are the best they can be. Carrying our fundraising reviews to see if organisations are 'major donor ready' as well as exploring potential for creating at 'step change' in this area of work. We also deliver a significant amount of training to staff and board members. Further information about the training courses we run, can be found on the training page.
Although we commonly work alongside our clients for long periods of time, certainly through the life of major appeals, we offer the flexibility to increase or decrease the level of our input and work on a one month notice period. We genuinely want to ensure that we offer value at all times and as such we feel it is important to offer our clients this flexibility. All of our consultants are London-based and it is important to us that we are regularly present in our clients' offices.

Leistikow's Week 6 Big Ten picks: Hawkeyes' big hogs will hoist a bronze pig in Minnesota
The Iowa football season is about to look and feel a lot different.
For four of the next five Saturdays, the Hawkeyes will be wearing their road white uniforms. For the first time in 2018, they'll be playing outside the friendly confines of Kinnick Stadium — and the road grind starts with Saturday's matchup at Minnesota (2:30 p.m., Big Ten Network).
"It's the opposite of Kinnick," senior wide receiver Nick Easley said. "In Kinnick, you've got to feed off the energy of the crowd sometimes. When you go on the road, you've got to provide that yourself."
This matches the latest road opener for Iowa football since 2001, when the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks postponed an early-season trip to Iowa State.
How the 2018 Hawkeyes handle life on the road will go a long way in shaping their season as a success or disappointment. After this, trips to Indiana (Oct. 13), Penn State (Oct. 27) and Purdue (Nov. 4) loom, with a tricky Homecoming game against Maryland (Oct. 20) sandwiched in between.
It's a critical stretch of four road games out of five. Can Iowa go 4-1 or even 5-0 and set the stage for a 10-win season?
Or will it stumble to something like 2-3 on an underachieving path?
A year ago, Iowa lost its first three Big Ten road games. It scored just two offensive touchdowns in games at Michigan State, Northwestern and Wisconsin.
That needs to change.
This year's road starts at TCF Bank Stadium, where inside you will hear the chants from Gophers fans in this long-running rivalry.
"Who hates Iowa? WE hate Iowa!"
"I haven't heard that," Easley, a Newton native, chuckled. "If you want to be a guy that feeds off that and enjoys silencing the crowd, that's a good thing. Just stay focused on the game plan, stay focused on what you can control."
What can Iowa control?
Preferably for Kirk Ferentz, the line of scrimmage.
The Hawkeyes' best matchup is when their defensive line — perhaps the deepest in Ferentz's 20 years — goes against the Gophers' offensive line. Minnesota is averaging just 3.67 yards per carry despite facing average-at-best defenses.
Minnesota will nonetheless try to move the chains, little by little. The Gophers rank first in the Big Ten and ninth nationally in time of possession. They'll try like heck to shorten the game, and steal a win at the end.
Saturday's biggest key for Iowa is forcing three-and-outs. Do that enough, and the offense (which hasn't scored on its opening drive this season) can take the lead. Build a double-digit lead, and that long, strong D-line can start attacking true freshman quarterback Zack Annexstad.
That's how I see this one unfolding. The Hawkeyes are 7-point favorites. With disciplined play and a sharp road focus, they will hoist the Floyd of Rosedale trophy for the fourth straight year.
Prediction: Iowa 28, Minnesota 10
Before we get to the rest of the Big Ten, a quick comment: Nebraska and Rutgers are foiling (better yet, fooling) me. No matter which way I've picked their games against the spread, I've lost — 0-9 overall.
Just consistently bad reads on bad teams.
The rest of the Big Ten? I'm 18-16. Much more acceptable.
So, keep that in mind as we get to Saturday's picks (times CT):
Maryland (3-1, 1-0) at No. 16 Michigan (4-1, 2-0)
Time, TV: 11 a.m., ABC
Vegas line: Michigan by 17½
Prediction: Speaking of hard-to-read teams, which Terrapins team shows up in Ann Arbor? The one that couldn't score an offensive touchdown against Temple? Or the one that beat an improved Texas and blitzed Minnesota by 29 points? Michigan won't be burned by Maryland's impressive team speed. But with Wisconsin, Michigan State and Penn State in succession on deck, the Wolverines might be content to win this one ugly. Michigan 35, Maryland 21
Northwestern (1-3, 1-1) at No. 19 Michigan State (3-1, 1-0)
Time, TV: 11 a.m., Fox Sports 1
Vegas line: Michigan State by 10½
Prediction: Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson has thrown for 637 yards and five touchdowns with one interception in 54-40 and 39-31 wins against Michigan State the past two seasons. The Spartans have been unimpressive to date, in part because quarterback Brian Lewerke has been sacked nine times and thrown five interceptions. Michigan State 20, Northwestern 17
Illinois (2-2, 0-1) at Rutgers (1-4, 0-2)
Time, TV: 11 a.m., Big Ten Network
Vegas line: Illinois by 5½
Prediction: This is a battle for mild respectability. Whichever team loses is the clear front-runner for worst team in the Big Ten. The Illini are on a 13-game Big Ten losing streak, can play the revenge card after losing to the Scarlet Knights in 2017 and actually have a credible offense (409 yards per game to Rutgers' league-worst 281.2). Illinois 31, Rutgers 20
Indiana (4-1, 1-1) at No. 3 Ohio State (5-0, 2-0)
Time, TV: 3 p.m., Fox
Vegas line: Ohio State by 25
Prediction: Last year, a week after escaping by one point against Big Ten East rival Penn State, the Buckeyes … went to Iowa City and got taken to the woodshed, 55-24. This year, a week after escaping by one point against Penn State … I suspect Urban Meyer will be reminding his team to stay laser-focused on the task at hand. Ohio State has won its last five home games by an average of 44.2 points. Ohio State 52, Indiana 21
Nebraska (0-4, 0-2) at No. 12 Wisconsin (3-1, 1-0)
Time, TV: 6:30 p.m., Big Ten Network
Vegas line: Wisconsin by 18
Prediction: In these teams' most recent meeting in Madison, an evenly matched contest went to overtime, with the Badgers scoring a 23-17 win. What a difference in the programs, two years later. Nebraska entered that game in 2016 with a 7-0 record, but is 6-15 overall since (and currently riding an eight-game, 11¼-month losing streak). Paul Chryst's Badgers entered 5-2, and they're 22-3 since ... with zero Big Ten regular-season losses. Wisconsin 42, Nebraska 17
Leistikow's ledger
Last week: 2-3 against the spread (3-2 straight up)
Season: 18-25 ATS (27-16 SU)
2017 record: 53-41-1 ATS (73-23 SU)

Apple customers may be familiar with the option of walking into an Apple retail store, purchasing a product with the Apple Store app, and walking out without checking out or even speaking to a single employee, and now Amazon seeks to one-up that experience with a new concept called Amazon Go.
Amazon Go provides a checkout-free shopping experience that, to the naked eye, looks exactly like shoplifting. After scanning a smartphone upon entering a store, the app automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart.
Amazon Go says the app utilizes computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning, allowing customers to simply take what they want and go with no checkouts or lines required. Shortly after, Amazon will charge a customer's Amazon account and send a receipt, meaning that, unlike the Apple Store app, shoppers do not even need to be in the store during the actual payment process.
Amazon did not provide any further details, so beyond that it remains unclear exactly how the process works.
For now, Amazon Go is limited to Amazon employees in the company's beta program, while only one Amazon Go food store in the company's hometown of Seattle—at 2131 7th Ave—currently supports the app. Amazon Go will open to the public in early 2017, possibly signaling the app's expansion to other stores.
All customers need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app. Amazon informed MacRumors the app will likely support iPhone, and presumably Android-based smartphones as well.
Just what America needs....less jobs.
But doesn't Amazon help create jobs as they have to have people maintain these stores, developed the technology, R&D jobs, construction jobs to built these places etc...? Not being a smartass but seriously asking.
You'd rather have more people working in shopping centers at tills and more queues? Those people could be educated and serve the world far better than scanning in groceries.
Uh, why does Amazon need to know what groceries I buy now?
What's the difference in Amazon or Tesco knowing?
This is exactly where technology should be taking us: ever closer to Marxist ideals while maintaining open democracy and free markets. Communism fails largely due to a lack of abundance and necessary incentives, not because it is "wrong" or "bad." If technology can take care of the **** jobs, a society is then free to develop specialized pursuits.
To posit the reverse as you imply, that America needs more jobs, is an unqualified statement at Best and foolishly short-sighted at worst. What we really need is more higher-skilled and/or knowledge-based jobs with more challenge and higher reward. We need a more robust education model that won't fail the majority of students and a focus on communities to create a natural support system.
There's more and more to go with that, but simply crying out against the destruction of low-skill jobs is a vote against progress. It's a plea for change without the willingness to change anything.
All those whining about $15/hr min wage out there, this is what happens.
Know your preferences, targeting with more accurate marketing.
I, for one, actually miss Steve Jobs. Less Jobs is what is hurting Apple and the world.
And when businesses do things like this I'll take my money to their competitors who actually employ real people and pay them a living wage.
Do you also refuse to use elevators that have buttons instead of elevator operators?
That might seem comical, but really, where does it start and where does it end?
* 200 people can dig a ditch with their bare hands.
* Invent a shovel, and 20 people can dig the ditch.
* Invent a backhoe, and 2 people can dig the ditch.
* Invent a robot, and nobody digs the ditch.
Everyone will complain about the robot, but the inventions causing the greatest job loss already occurred long ago.
Impact on jobs shouldn't be that different from the self-checkouts that more and more stores are already deploying. Of course, people will still be required to maintain the stores.
Then you shouldn't make any phone calls because telecom company had taken away jobs from operators.
They'll only know what you buy when you shop there. And how is it any different than your local grocery store chain knowing what you buy when you scan your club card at checkout?

Donald Trump has suggested postponement of 2020 US presidential election and said "Universal Mail-In Voting" could lead to fraud and inaccurate results.
Trump also fears that using the mail-in-voting system would be the most erroneous and fraudulent election in the US history.
The US president in a twitter post advised people to wait for the situation when they can vote properly, safely and securely.
It will be a great embarrassment to the USA, Trump said in the post. "Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???," he said.
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???
However, there is no evidence of widespread fraud, BBC reports citing numerous nationwide and state-level studies over the years.

Most nonprofits struggle to achieve these three goals. Few struggle more than youth service providers. Even Karen Pittman, co-founder and CEO of the Forum for Youth Investment, a national nonprofit that's been around since 1998. In this piece for Youth Today, Karen offers up her own advice on how to achieve those three goals.


Never-dried sulfite wood pulp was beaten and subsequently microfibrillated before being submitted to periodate oxidation for various times. The oxidation progress, which was followed by 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with degree of oxidation (DO) measurements together with ultrastructural observations, revealed that the cellulose crystallinity and microfibrillar integrity were kept intact until a DO of 0.3/0.4, indicating that at that level, the cellulose microfibrils had been oxidized exclusively at their surface. Beyond this DO value, the sample crystallinity started to deteriorate, as the oxidation progressed toward the core of the microfibrils. Remarkably, throughout the oxidation, the created carbonyl moieties were never observed, as they were readily recombined into hemiacetals by cyclization either within the same anhydro glucose unit (AGU) or with the adjacent un-oxidized AGUs of the same cellulose chain. At DO below 0.3/0.4, hemiacetal coupling with adjacent cellulose chains was also considered, but it appeared unlikely in view of the interchain distance imposed by the crystalline lattice. The oxidized samples were subjected to a reductive amination with benzylamine in order to convert their hydrophilic surfaces into hydrophobic ones. Despite the ease of this derivatization, the analysis of the 13C solid-state NMR spectra of the aminated products showed that, below a DO of 0.3, only half of the hemiacetal moieties could be converted into secondary amine products, whereas the other half remained untouched, likely for steric reasons.
The authors thank H. Chanzy for fruitful discussions during the writing of this work, as well as C. Lancelon-Pin for her assistance in the TEM observation of the cellulose samples.


If you're like me – a result-oriented person and lover of ticking off that task that's been scheduled in my bullet journal – then you're likely to understand this tension. It's the tension of there is lots to do today AND I need to spend time alone seeking and hearing God.
If you were to google the question What does it mean to live a spiritual life? you'd get a variety of opinions. For me, I think living a spiritual life is a couple of things. First, it's the yes response to Jesus' invitation to come and follow Him. Second, it's a way of life (habits and practices and beliefs and choices) that we learn about through our interaction with the Scriptures (Bible) and by being in a Christian community. Third, it's attentiveness to our living relationship with Jesus Christ. And fourth, it's attentiveness to our soul and its needs.
Jesus modelled the need to create space for time alone with the Father.
I find it fascinating that Jesus got up before the crack of dawn, the typical time the entire household would awake, and he left the house, going off to a solitary place. Isn't it interesting that he had to leave the house and go off to a solitary place? Was that because the house was full of people and distractions? We don't really know why he chose to the leave the house. I feel fortunate to have spaces within my home where in the colder months I can retreat to. But in the summer, I love to sit on the deck in my backyard. I especially like to be up watching the sunrise in the summer months.
But wherever that "go to" place is, it's important for us to find it and to be intentional to prioritize time alone with our loving Heavenly Father – the one who "speaks peace to his faithful people" (Ps 85:8). The one from whom our joy and strength and refreshing springs come (Ps 84:5).
Curiously, the text in Mark does not tell us what Jesus' prayers comprised of that day or what the Father may have communicated to him or how the fellowship in that time was within the Triune God. Oh, how sweet and hard those times must have been. We can only imagine!
Now if Nouwen is right, and I think he is, if we do not have a practice of Solitude in our life, it is virtually impossible to live a spiritual life. And if you find yourself longing for more and have been unable to put your finger on what's missing, perhaps this is it.
Am I living the spiritual life I long to be living? Why or why not?
Is God calling me deeper and inviting me to come away and be with Him? What does that look like?
Do I have a place to go or do I need to create a space to go to?
Do I need to get up earlier in order to have solitude or might I need to make some other adjustments in my schedule because the hustle of life isn't slowing down any time soon? What adjusments might I need to make?
In keeping with the principle of just start and start small when making changes, what can I start doing, based on what the Spirit has revealed during my reflection time, that will put me on the path of living the spiritual life I long to be living?
When making adjustments in our life, it can be challenging. Hence the reason to just start and start small. I would suggest that you set up a goal for yourself for the next six weeks (that should be doable by us all!). Pick your start and end date. And as part of this small change you'll be making, make it a practice to weekly review your commitment to the goal and make adjustments as needed to keep you on track. If you're a tracker like me, make it a daily practice to tick the box!
And if you want to learn more about Solitude, there are a number of authors that write on it. Authors such as Henri Nouwen, Ruth Haley Barton, and Richard Foster, to name a few.

Jarjacha
The Jarjacha is a nocturnal Peruvian beast, quadrupedal, with a long neck and glowing eyes. It lives on a diet of human flesh, but has very specific preferences: it feeds solely on incestuous men and women, or those who have committed carnal sins towards their spiritual compadres. It itself may be born from the soul of an incestuous person or taboo-breaker.
A jarjacha manifests primarily in its call, a loud rattling cry that echoes through the hills. "Jar-jar-jar-jar-jar"… It repeats, over and over. The villagers shiver, cross themselves, and lock their doors.
By morning the atmosphere is tense. Everyone knows there is a sinner among them, some incestuous wretch who has brought judgment down on themselves. The parish priest decries the existence of the son of Satan in their midst, one who will be punished by divine retribution. Eventually the shamed culprit is brought to light, and given an auto-da-fé in the public square.
Jarjacha is the worst insult that can be leveled at someone.

Wako
Variations: Waco
The Wako are tsawekuri, animal spirits in the folklore of the Cuiva of Colombia and Venezuela. They look like pacas, with spots and long vicious fangs. Wako dig caves with many small exits and hiding-places, and live there in large numbers. Their call sounds like ao, ao, ao, ao.
Wako are carnivorous and anthropophagous. Anyone who ventures into their caves is hunted down and devoured. However, they refuse to chase anyone who is naked.
A Cuiva man who was left by his wife once made the suicidal decision to dig into a wako nest. Despite his son's entreaties, he dug into the hole where a wako had been seen, feeling around with his hand and pulling it out quickly. His actions startled the wako, who ran out of their burrow calling ao, ao, ao, ao. There was nothing left of him after they were done.
Another man descended into a wako cave to avenge his pregnant wife, who had been eaten by the wako. He successfully exterminated the entire nest of wako.

Pira-nu
The Pira-nu, "black fish", is born in old timber canoes lost in the rapids. This Argentinian fish is of great size, with a horse-like head and big eyes. It swims at the surface of the water to capsize canoes, and it quickly devours humans and livestock that have fallen into the water.

Falajitax
Variations: Leile, Leile, Liwo
The Falajitax snakes are both violent ogres and benevolent rain-bringers. The Makka of Paraguay believe that they come from humid areas and bring the water with them wherever they go. Most falajitax live in the Chaco forests.
A falajitax has a head like that of a rhea. When it rears up with its body out of sight, it looks exactly like a rhea, and fools many hunters into coming too close. It wears earrings. Its massive serpent body is beautifully colored with eye-catching stripes. But a falajitax need not stick to one form, as it can assume any appearance it wishes, including human and equine guises. A falajitax disguised as a horse can tempt people into riding it, galloping with them into a lake where they drown.
At best, the falajitax are intelligent creatures that can be reasoned with by shamans. Falajitax often protect sources of honey in the forest, and the shaman can placate them by singing and soothing them with a sort of balm. A group of Makka and their shaman were permitted to harvest honey, and the falajitax next guided them to their secret stores of honey. The snakes finally appeared in the shaman's dreams, telling him that they would live in peace with the Makka.
The falajitax that chased a rhea-hunter was much less friendly. With its head raised, it would beckon him to approach, then lie down and roll up as he came closer. When he discovered the deception, he rode off at full speed, with the falajitax following close behind, jumping from branch to branch like a monkey. When the hunter reached a burned field, the falajitax stopped moving, for such places are unpleasant to the snake. The man returned with other villagers and killed the helpless falajitax, taking its beautiful skin, but after they hung it out to dry it started to rain. The torrential downpour stopped only after they had thrown the skin away.
At worst, the falajitax are little more than anthropophagous monsters. They often swallow people alive, but victims can escape by cutting out the serpent's heart from within – a difficult proposition, considering that a falajitax has multiple decoy hearts around its neck, with the real heart located in its tail. It took two days for one hunter to find the falajitax's heart and slay it; by then, his hair and clothes had been dissolved and his skin was decomposing. Fortunately for him, his wife's magic comb restored him to health. But if the falajitax decides to kill first, then there is no escape. The snake constricts its prey to death and then introduces its tail in its victim's anus, making it walk like a macabre puppet.

Ix-hunpedzkin
Variations: Ix-hunpedɔkin, Hunpedzkin, Hunpedɔkin; Mexican Beaded Lizard, Heloderma horridum
Mexican beaded lizards are large, sluggish, and colorful Central American lizards. They have a venomous bite, and popular Yucatec Maya folklore has exaggerated their toxic qualities.
The Mayan beaded lizard, or Ix-hunpedzkin, is 3 to 4 inches long, with black, rose, and ash-colored bands across their bodies and a pink underbelly. It strikes with both its mouth and its tail. In fact, its entire body is virulently toxic, and it can kill a grown man if it so much as touches his clothes. Even that is not the ix-hunpedzkin's most infamous activity.
Ix-hunpedzkins frequently enter houses and come in contact with humans. They can cause severe, debilitating headaches merely by biting the shadow of one's head. These headaches are lethal if not treated immediately.
To heal a hunpedzkin-headache, the plant hunpedzkin or hunpedzkin-ak (or ix-hunpedzkin or ix-hunpedzkin-ak, the names are shared) must be used. It is a climbing plant found in association with Sabal japa, and its long, narrow, and yellow leaves resemble those of the henequen, except it is smaller and has soft spines. It is probably a Tillandsia. The leaves should be crushed or burned to ashes, poulticed, and applied to the patient's head.

Huayramama
Huayramama, "Mother of the Wind", is one of the three ancient snake mothers of the Peruvian Amazon. She has no direct biological counterpart, but is believed to be an enormous boa with an old woman's face and very long hair that tangles in the clouds – in comparison, her counterparts the Sachamama and the Yakumama are the boa constrictor and the anaconda, respectively.
The guardian of the air and the daughter of the red huayracaspi or "wind tree", she is herself the mother of all the good and evil winds. Huayramama also grants power to deserving healers and shamans, giving them control over the weather.
Don Emilio Shuña was one such man. After fasting for nine days and drinking ayahuasca tea brewed from the huayracaspi, he was rewarded by the appearance of Huayramama, her long body billowing in the sky and her hair trailing behind her. She landed on his house and proclaimed "OK, man, here I am. What is it you wish?" "I want to control the wind, the rain, and anything from the sky", said Don Emilio. Huayramama granted him his wish on condition he fasted for an additional forty-five days. At the end of that period of fasting, Don Emilio gained the magical powers he asked for, and was taught songs by the Huayramama herself. He could control weather, heal those afflicted by evil winds, return crops to life, and revitalize dying fisheries. When the Huayramama's malevolent children tried to stir up trouble, he drove those winds under the trees through fasting, singing, drinking huayracaspi tea and blowing tobacco smoke. Huayramama would touch his head to strengthen him in times of need. He also used his powers for simpler blessings, such as preventing rain to allow local boys to play football in peace.
At the end of a long and charmed life, Don Emilio finally died. Perhaps it was rival sorcerers who murdered him, or perhaps the evil winds finally won. All who knew him wept. He was buried under the huayracaspi in the middle of the forest, for as he said, "that tree is my mother".

Yakumama
Variations: Yakumaman, Yacumama, Yacumaman; Puragua; Anaconda
Yakumama, "Mother of the Waters", is one of the three ancient snake mothers of the Peruvian Amazon. She is the anaconda magnified and empowered, in the same way as the Sachamama is the boa constrictor. She appears as a gigantic anaconda with blue scales and eyes glowing like the headlights of a boat. Yakumama is the same creature known as Boíuna or Cobra Grande in Brazil.
The Yakumama can often be found resting on the banks of the river, her tail trailing away into the water. She is capable of entrancing prey into immobility with her gaze and drawing victims to her like a magnet. When happy, she blesses people with plentiful rain and abundant fish. When angry – which can happen for no discernible reason – she summons storms, fogs, and whirlpools in addition to putting her enormous bulk to destructive use. Sometimes Yakumama swallows all the fish and prevents fishermen from catching them, or flies into the sky and causes downpours that ruin crops. Offerings of food and aguardiente can placate her.
After years of work in the forest, a man decided to returnt to Iquitos. He set off down the Napo River on a large boat, bringing with him his family, servants, lumber, and livestock. Soon a storm broke, and he ignored warnings from native fishermen that Yakumama was around, only to get caught in a whirlpool. Prayer to God did nothing, but tossing food and aguardiente in calmed the whirlpool. But still the man pressed on, into a sticky, bluish fog that all other animals avoided. The storm raged until an enormous wave lifted the boat and lodged it in the branches of a capirona tree. Then they saw Yakumama rise from the river, water flowing off her glistening coils as yaras rode her back and laughed at the humans. Yakumama proceeded to gobble up the lumber, the livestock, the cargo raft, several trees, and an island before going back under. The man, his life's work obliterated, limped back to the native village with his family. He was greeted warmly and offered food and a place by the fire, and there he was told of Yakumama the ever-changing.
The presence of outboard motors and large ships have driven Yakumama away. She is hardly seen nowadays.

To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big, but Eddie got special dividends, as well.. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block.
He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. But, he testified.
Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street . But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine.
Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.


Using a database-centric, model-driven approach for building hybrid mobile and HTML5-based Web apps that allows for hand-coding when needed, Alpha Anywhere 4.3 reportedly features enhancements in performance, security, data integration and UX capabilities.
However, its offline functionality -- providing apps that work even when a network connection isn't available -- is of special interest to developers creating apps designed for field work where connectivity might be spotty. Such functionality is an especially difficult problem in Web apps, which are seeking to close the gap in performance compared with native apps.
Like Mendix and other low-code competitors, Alpha Anywhere addresses the problem with techniques such as persisting local data, including unsynchronized transactions and app state; propagating mobile transactions back to a corporate database; synchronizing data on the server; resolving conflicts; and so on.
In version 4.3, that functionality has been extended, the Alpha Software Corp. said in a statement yesterday. It now supports the Application Cache HTML5 feature, which is supported by many browsers (though the Mozilla Developer Network says it's being deprecated in favor of Service Workers).
"Version 4.3 speeds application delivery with two new ways to test and deploy apps, while maintaining Alpha Anywhere's market lead in robust offline capabilities," the company said. "The Application Cache (an HTML5 feature widely supported by various browsers) allows you to build Web apps that are loaded into the browser and can continue to function even if an Internet connection is lost."
Enhanced security via new Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) drivers that work with SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, MariaDB and other platforms, used to encrypt/decrypt data moving between the server-based application layer and the back-end SQL database.
Expanded data integration with the inclusion of two new lightweight database engines, REDIS and SQL Server LocalDB.
A new PhoneGap shell that "allows developers to load UX components for testing without the need to rewrap the component in PhoneGap. By using this method, developers save significant time usually required to rewrap the app, downloading it to a mobile device and install it."
The actual low-code development experience also sees several new features, the company said.
"The new ControlBar control for UX components includes a powerful builder for controls bars, menus, and disclosures which enable efficient, elegant, and effective user experiences to be built rapidly. SVG Icons have been added, which offer more design and color options to developers, are lighter weight than bitmaps, scale to any size and look crisp at any resolution.
In addition, the new self-titled Alpha Stylesheet offers a clean, modern, and quickly adjustable look across all devices and platforms. The new SASS Variable Editor speeds app design changes by allowing developers to quickly adjust the color palette of an entire application at once."
Alpha Anywhere 4.3 is now available and provided at no charge to current subscribers. Pricing details for the offering -- which is available in a free trial -- can be found here.
