John Singer Sargent Biography
John Singer Sargent (/ˈsɑːrdʒənt/; January 12, 1856 – April 14, 1925) was an American artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian era luxury. During his career, he created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. His oeuvre documents worldwide travel, from Venice to the Tyrol, Corfu, the Middle East, Montana, Maine, and Florida.
His parents were American, but he was trained in Paris prior to moving to London. Sargent enjoyed international acclaim as a portrait painter, although not without controversy and some critical reservation; an early submission to the Paris Salon, his Portrait of Madame X, was intended to consolidate his position as a society painter, but it resulted in scandal instead. From the beginning his work was characterized by remarkable technical facility, particularly in his ability to draw with a brush, which in later years inspired admiration as well as criticism for a supposed superficiality.
His commissioned works were consistent with the grand manner of portraiture, while his informal studies and landscape paintings displayed a familiarity with Impressionism. In later life Sargent expressed ambivalence about the restrictions of formal portrait work, and devoted much of his energy to mural painting and working en plein air. He lived most of his life in Europe. Art historians generally ignored the society artists such as Sargent until the late 20th century.
Before Sargent's birth, his father, FitzWilliam (b. 1820 Gloucester, Massachusetts), was an eye surgeon at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia 1844–1854. After John's older sister died at the age of two, his mother, Mary (née Singer), suffered a breakdown, and the couple decided to go abroad to recover. They remained nomadic expatriates for the rest of their lives. Although based in Paris, Sargent's parents moved regularly with the seasons to the sea and the mountain resorts in France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. While Mary was pregnant, they stopped in Florence, Tuscany, because of a cholera epidemic. Sargent was born there in 1856. A year later, his sister Mary was born. After her birth, FitzWilliam reluctantly resigned his post in Philadelphia and accepted his wife's entreaties to remain abroad. They lived modestly on a small inheritance and savings, living a quiet life with their children. They generally avoided society and other Americans except for friends in the art world. Four more children were born abroad, of whom only two lived past childhood.
Although his father was a patient teacher of basic subjects, young Sargent was a rambunctious child, more interested in outdoor activities than his studies. As his father wrote home, "He is quite a close observer of animated nature." His mother was convinced that traveling around Europe, and visiting museums and churches, would give young Sargent a satisfactory education. Several attempts to have him formally schooled failed, owing mostly to their itinerant life. Sargent's mother was a fine amateur artist and his father was a skilled medical illustrator. Early on, she gave him sketchbooks and encouraged drawing excursions. Young Sargent worked with care on his drawings, and he enthusiastically copied images from The Illustrated London News of ships and made detailed sketches of landscapes. FitzWilliam had hoped that his son's interest in ships and the sea might lead him toward a naval career.

Why John Singer Sargent?
Realism is not a technique so much as a philosophy. In some ways, Sargent can be considered a generalist, for he mastered and fused various different styles: classical portraits, impressionism, landscapes, watercolors and murals. Sargent believed that styles were techniques to be used rather than an end representation in themselves, and said that knowledge of a particular style: "does not make a man an Artist any more than the knowledge of perspective does – it is merely a refining of one's means towards representing things and one step further away from the hieroglyph".
Sargent was renowned for his portraits of the wealthy and famous. Although he worked within the established style of classical portraiture he used unusual compositions, interesting color palettes, and rarely repeated the same arrangement twice. Sargents' lack of use of under painting and under drawing allowed for more spontaneous, less controlled brush strokes which gave the effect of capturing the sitter in a candid moment. At the same time, he was able to manipulate props to convey the social status of his subjects, particularly in his use of texture to detail fine fabrics.
Sargent used a more brilliant palette for watercolors than he did for his portraits, reserving watercolors for landscapes and non-notable people, such as his friends and the natives he came across during his travels. The Impressionist philosophy of the time was that the effects of sunlight could be best captured outdoors, a philosophy that Sargent followed.
Sargent changed the loose, spontaneous style that he was known for in favor of clearly outlined designs that could be seen from afar. For his murals, he relied on his extensive knowledge of art history as well as equally extensive travel research, which took him across two continents.
This seriousness distinguished Sargent from many other historical muralists of the period. However, he made mural painting his own in the same way that he made classical portraiture his own. Sargent used accurate symbols but sometimes changed their meaning, combined unrelated historical styles and even inserted pop-culture references into the mural.
While striving for historical accuracy with a twist, he also wanted richness of detail which would impress, educate, and entertain visitors as they walked through the public library's hallways over and over again. Many critics thought that what Sargent accomplished with his mural paintings had not been seen since the Renaissance.

Why We Need More Charter Cities
Written by Joe Lonsdale
@JTLonsdale

Over the last few centuries, most of our world has become incredibly prosperous relative to the past. When entrepreneurs compete to offer better goods and services, good ideas "win" and spread. Older, less effective ways of doing things wither and die. As basic research and scientific breakthroughs advance what's possible, entrepreneurs with ambitious visions introduce new and better ways of doing things. In an open society with a market system, each of us is incentivized to learn from what works and creatively solve problems for each other. This is why our economy continues to grow, and goods and services continue to improve over time.
As the world's economy has grown more and more dynamic, governments haven't kept up. Competition has destroyed many lumbering corporate bureaucracies; government bureaucracies have only grown. Automobile speed, safety, and reliability have increased by countless orders of magnitude since the invention of the Model T Ford; the time it takes government to build needed infrastructure has skyrocketed. Decades of innovation in infotech and logistics have brought us just-in-time supply chains and efficient procurement. Government procurement in America hasn't kept up with these best practices because it lacks transparency, incentives, and accountability. One example – out of thousands – that is particularly salient and frustrating today is that the US government spent millions on a contract for in- case-of-emergency ventilators that were never delivered even as COVID-19 became a national crisis. It's obvious that the forces tied to our growing prosperity haven't trickled over to public policy.
I am an American patriot and continue to spend much of my career helping to fix the government we have. Thousands of governments work with software companies I have founded such as OpenGov, Esper, and Palantir, which help better allocate trillions of taxpayer dollars, bring data and transparency to the regulatory state, or use cutting-edge technology to enable new workflows to achieve public policy goals and save billions of dollars compared to how things were done before. We're proud to have partnered with extraordinary people in government to achieve great things. But fixing government from the inside is not enough; American government is too big and too entrenched in outmoded processes and only loosely accountable to the American public.
This is why I'm attracted to the concept of "charter cities": legally independent city-states, or "special economic zones" which are free to innovate and establish better modes and methods of government than existing players. We should combine the lessons from the past century with new technologies to improve transparency, hold public servants accountable, and make government work better. The best way to drive innovative governance is for governments or aspects of governments to compete for citizens just as companies compete for customers. Governments must constantly innovate, respond to changing circumstances, and invent or adopt better ways of doing things – or else lose out to competitors.
I support the work of Patri Friedman at Pronomos Capital, Mark Lutter at the Charter Cities Institute, Balaji Srinivasan, and others in the space on the conviction that the concept of a charter city is revolutionary. Layers and layers of bureaucracy, lack of accountability, and other mistakes have enabled cost disease and crony capitalism in critical sectors, reduced the dynamism of our economy, and made the cost of living skyrocket for our middle and working classes. We need a revolution in governance.
(An example of a charter city set in rural America. Renders by The Cicero Institute / Joe Lonsdale)
It's difficult for human beings to understand the idea of positive-sum growth. Intuitively, anything my neighbor gains is a loss for me. In one sense, that's true. As Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Romer explains, the world of physical objects – or collections of atoms – is finite and zero-sum. Any object I obtain is a loss for you and vice versa. So how is positive-sum growth possible? Ideas. Good ideas rearrange the world in ways that make the things in it more valuable.
The practice of farming, for example, didn't create new atoms even as it dramatically expanded the food supply. It was a good idea that changed the world to make it more useful, allowing humanity to support a larger population at less cost. Bad ideas do the opposite. Soviet collectivized farms, for example, cost millions of lives.
Markets are positive-sum because good ideas are valuable. If I buy something from you, I'm telling you that I value what you've made. If you make a profit, it means you've increased the value of whatever raw supplies you started with. If you make a loss, you've destroyed value. A free market without cronyism is a machine that increases the value of the world by rewarding good ideas and punishing bad ones. When ideas compete, we all win because the best ideas change the world in ways that make all of us more prosperous.
Some of the most powerful ideas find expression in our laws and shape the actions of entire communities. The best collections of ideas – such as the United States constitution or English common law – don't just change the physical world but establish frameworks within which people may act. Good laws make for a more prosperous society. Bad laws, such as those in Venezuela or North Korea, can have disastrous effects on everyone.
Unfortunately, governments improve more slowly than individuals and corporations because they face much less competition and their citizens have little choice. When a company does things badly, consumers punish it by buying a competitor's product. But if your government taxes you to pay for something that's wasteful or inefficient, you can't respond by not paying taxes. You can try to help design and support a more efficient version of the scheme, but politics, unlike markets, are not generally a place where the best ideas win or where the relevant ideas are even discussed. Ultimately, bad policies reduce economic growth and decrease tax revenues, but this takes years or decades, and government today is such a giant kludge of disparate aspects that it's hard to tell which policies were at fault.
In theory, people can always move from one country to another. One might think that the threat of political "exit" would force countries to compete for citizens just as companies compete for customers – and to some degree this does happen at extremes. Countries with better laws attract more citizens and tax revenue and prosper over time [such as net inflow into the US]. Countries with bad laws lose population and power [such as Venezuela]. But there are serious barriers to political exit. It's time- consuming and expensive to move, and it's sometimes difficult to get permission to enter a new jurisdiction. Further, many countries have distinct advantages – such as tremendous natural resource endowments – that shelter them from the consequences of mismanagement. Finally, the best countries attract talented individuals who themselves attract others, and though laws make a difference over the long-run, network effects can persist for a long time even when beset by poor government.
(Set in rural America. Renders by The Cicero Institute / Joe Lonsdale)
Charter cities are new cities, founded on unpopulated land [we are lucky – the vast majority of land is still open!], which are allowed autonomous commercial law and semi-autonomous governments and justice systems. The idea is simple: found new cities, free from old bureaucratic and legal structures, and explore bold new visions of how government should work. Market them to people who choose to join and see what the world learns.
Charter cities must attract new residents to survive. This is a powerful incentive to make laws clear and fair, build responsive public institutions, provide economic opportunity, and come up with new ideas to outcompete incumbent competitors. There's no one way to achieve these ends, so charter cities will also compete with each other to design and implement innovative governance regimes.
We know that competition in government works because it's been done before. The United States, for example, is prosperous in part due to a federalist system that forces each state to compete as a laboratory of democracy within a federal framework that makes it easy to move from state-to-state. 1846, for example, New York became the first state to fully abolish rules for corporate charters under which corruption was rampant because the legislature used to decide which businesses were allowed to incorporate. Over the latter half of that century, this measure spread from state to state and became ubiquitous.
Of course, the biggest success stories come from the most radical experiments. Over the course of a century, Hong Kong developed from a standard port city into one of the most prosperous cities in the world – even as mainland China stagnated under communism. Good laws made Hong Kong wealthy. The Chinese, recognizing this, set up in 1980 a special economic zone in the Shenzhen area nearby where some normal economic restrictions were waived to more closely resemble Hong Kong. The area grew by more than an order of magnitude in population and prosperity in the first 20 years of its existence. Deng Xiaoping's special economic zone experiments were the basis for China's gradual liberalization. By showing what kinds of laws attract capital and commerce, Hong Kong and Shenzhen transformed all of China.
The most successful charter cities will likely guarantee and protect individual liberties, have a fair legal system with clear and just laws and decisions based on precedent, and treat businesses and workers fairly with a transparent regulatory structure. These features have made several small cities like Hong Kong and Singapore incredibly prosperous and have brought them countless new citizens. I expect that broadly similar systems would do the same for other new cities, aided by new types of transparency and accountability in government, and I have a lot of ideas. But the amazing potential of charter cities is that I might be wrong. Perhaps there's a much better way to do things – a fairer way of making judicial decisions, of taxing corporations, or of ordering society. If there is, competition will prove it and the world will benefit.
Despite the incredible potential of charter cities, there are serious challenges to their practical success. First is the problem of violence or "national defense." It's hard to make sure that a charter city will remain independent. Investors rightly fear that money spent on new infrastructure will be wasted if the local government revokes the prospective city's rights and seizes control – a serious problem in general as governments don't like more successful competition! Second, building any new city is very expensive. It costs a lot of money up-front to build roads and bridges and other infrastructure. Building a city on new land that has few established connections to other cities, or connections that couldn't bear a huge influx of new citizens, is even costlier. Third, cities have amazing network effects – it's difficult to grow a new city from scratch. Big cities attract talented people who attract other talented people in what economists call "agglomeration effects." Cities don't just compete on the quality of their governments but on the quality of their private citizens. In that respect, new charter cities start off at a serious disadvantage.
These problems will plague any attempt to establish new cities. But there are ways to ameliorate them. Building near an existing city, for example, would reduce the early deficits of amenities and people – problems two and three. A charter city could start as a satellite of a larger city or near a good airport. In this way, the city would directly compete with and attract citizens from nearby. And though this early challenge is substantial, it is less substantial now than at any point in history. It has never been easier to move elsewhere, and communication technology helps us profit from the expertise and ideas of other people from thousands of miles away.
In my view, the best way to get a charter city off the ground is for a strong nation with a stable and fair political system to "sponsor" and protect the charter city on the model of Hong Kong – initially protected by the United Kingdom. This city enriched the world with its goods and taught the world about how to build effective institutions and design good laws. But the most lucrative benefits accrued to the UK and mainland China. Both benefited from Hong Kong's goods and the prosperity it created, and China thrived after instating sweeping economic reforms inspired by Hong Kong's model. It would be in the interest of a powerful state sponsor to provide some of the capital necessary for a new city to thrive and to protect that city in its infancy. And charter cities will only thrive if they are able to defend their wealth with military force.
Imagine, for a moment, a world in which hundreds of legally independent city-states compete to attract citizens. In this world, charter cities would bring the powerful positive-sum dynamics of markets to governance. People would enter and exit jurisdictions freely, and charter cities would compete with each other for citizens by offering better services and fairer laws. Those that succeed would create incredible prosperity for their citizens and set the standard for the rest of the world. Those with below-average laws and institutions would quickly fall behind and be forced to adapt or lose population and become irrelevant.
We should draw inspiration from the concept of the charter city in crafting policy frameworks, and celebrate the efforts of the people who have embraced the thankless and too quickly mocked task of working to make these cities real. Like any ambitious idea, there are serious challenges to making a new charter city successful in practice. Building one of these is likely at least 1000 times harder than building a big company. But if we succeed, we'll inspire other governments and start a new renaissance that will improve billions of lives.

I spent a lot of time listing what you should consider before getting a pet but there are many positives. I grew up in a home with a beloved dog and my own children always had pets so I find it hard to believe that families can be happy without them. Our current dog, Yo, is curled up next to my desk as I write this.
Children get a very special type of unconditional love and affection from a dog. Mom can yell at you for not picking up your toys but the dog still wags its tail! Grownups may be busy but the pet is always ready to play. A pet is great to talk to. Some children tell their pet their sad or lonely thoughts; others seem to "rehearse" speeches they later will make to friends.
A pet can be the one non-stressful fact in a child's stressful world. A child can have a best friend, always available and ready to play, from the moment a puppy or kitten is brought into the house.
Pets can help young children deal with fears. Our dog always joined the children in crawling in our bed when a thunder storm started. My son would tell the dog not to be scared — it was only thunder. By telling this to the dog he began to master his own fears.
Pets can help children separate reality from fantasy. Pets can be important pretend figures. My daughter stuffed our remarkably cooperative cat into doll clothes and wheeled her around in the buggy. But pets are not inert like a doll–they tell you when you have gone too far or they have had enough.
Pets can help children learn about being gentle and can help them develop responsibility and respect for a living creature.
Research confirms that the presence of a pet has a positive effect on children. One study reported lower blood pressures in children who were in the presence of their dog. Children (and adults) who live with pets have higher morale and better health status than those without pets.
Finally the death of a pet, though very sad, can help children learn about death, recognize that we all die, and begin to understand how wonderful life is though it ends in death.
If you decide to get a dog, some breeds are better suited to live with children than other breeds. Ask a veterinarian for advice or go see a variety of breeds at a dog show where you can talk to owners and judges about breed-specific behavior. Don't overlook the mixed-breed, medium-sized dog that you can often find at the Humane Society. Many of these are excellent with children.


"I honestly don't know who is leading the charge for change".
Again, it wouldn't take much research to find out that City Councillor Josh Morgan has been publicly supporting ranked ballots for years. In fact, a large contingent of the current London City Council included ranked ballots in their 2014 platform. More recently, we've seen loud and vocal support from groups like the Urban League of London and Women in Politics. All Macartney needed to do was Google "ranked ballots" and "London, Ontario".
"I would first like to see empirical evidence that ranked balloting works and, more importantly, makes any difference."
No problem. Here you go. But... why didn't you ask for evidence before you wrote the op-ed?
For a more informed op-ed, here's a great piece co-authored by Sameer Vasta of the Urban League of London and Shawna Lewkowitz of Women & Politics.
Hey thank you very much sharing it here.
The people of Canada were much friendly and they were living a prosper life but this election campaign was not good enough to revive any new opponent and this time they have messed up all the stuff which they were wondering to do.

Virginia Joins Six States in Requiring Ultrasound Before Abortion
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell on Wednesday signed into law a bill requiring women to obtain an ultrasound before having an abortion, making Virginia the seventh state to adopt such a law, the Christian Post reports. The bill exempts women who were raped or victims of incest, if the incident was reported to police. Pro-abortion advocates called the bill "state-required rape," but pro-life advocates applauded it as a "gold standard" in medical care. "Abortion advocates have engaged in a vicious campaign of misinformation against a proposal that would require a life-saving ultrasound test before giving women an abortion-inducing drug or an abortion procedure," said Dr. Charmaine Yoest, CEO of Americans United for Life. "It [is] particularly egregious that abortion advocates fought to prevent women from having all the medical information they need for informed consent."

Down's Syndrome Chromosome Yields More Cancer-Blocking Genes
Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have discovered cancer-blocking activity for genes carried on chromosome 21 - an extra copy of which is carried by people with Down's syndrome.
Professor Kairbaan Hodivala-Dilke
The study, published in Nature*, investigated why the extra copy of chromosome 21 provides protection against the development of solid cancers.
The team found that tumour growth was reduced significantly in mice with three copies of genes from chromosome 21, compared with mice carrying two copies – the extra set of these genes boosting protection against cancer development.
They identified that a number of genes called ADAMTS1; ERG; JAM-B and PTTG11P can block the formation of blood vessels to tumours - a process called angiogenesis. This prevents nutrients reaching the tumour, in effect 'starving it,' stopping the cancer from growing. Two of these genes JAM-B and PTTG11P were previously unlinked to angiogenesis.
The discovery that these new genes block a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which triggers new blood vessel growth, presents new targets for research into potential cancer drugs.
Lead author, Kairbaan Hodivala-Dilke, Professor of Angiogenesis at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry's Institute of Cancer, part of Queen Mary, University of London, said: "These exciting results provide new evidence to confirm that having three copies of certain genes on chromosome 21 is sufficient to protect against tumour growth.
"The next stage is to think about how we might be able to exploit this and use it to develop cancer treatments in the future to block tumour growth."
Professor Kairbaan Hodivala-Dilke and her team have been studying why people with Down's syndrome have a lower risk of developing some types of cancer for a number of years.
She added: "It's incredibly inspiring to know that by studying the genetic make-up of people with Down's syndrome we have been able to make important discoveries that help us understand far more about the intricate processes involved in cancer tumour growth."
Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK said: "Investigating potential drugs that 'starve' tumours of their blood supply is an exciting area of research and one that we are investing heavily in.
"The exciting discovery that more genes have been located on chromosome 21 which are natural cancer protectors opens up a new store of gene therapy opportunities to beat the disease."

Le Lycée technologique régional Dhuoda est un édifice civil et un établissement d'enseignement secondaire de la ville de Nîmes, dans le département du Gard et la région Languedoc-Roussillon. Il est inscrit monument historique depuis 2002.

Dhuoda était une princesse du , épouse du duc de Septimanie Bernard. Reléguée à Uzès par le duc, elle a rédigé un traité d'éducation chrétienne pour son fils aîné.

Localisation
L'édifice est situé 17 rue Duhoda et rue Clovis.

Historique
 1927 : le maire Hubert Rouger a proposé de construire une nouvelle Ecole Pratique de Commerce et d'Industrie, celle de 1835-1836 située place de la Calade étant insuffisante.
 1931 : élaboration des plans par les architectes Jean Christol et Léonce Salles et l'ingénieur Dufour.
 1933-1936 : construction du Groupe Scolaire Hubert Rouger.
 après 1945 : il devient "Collège Technique et Moderne de Nîmes et Centre d'Apprentissage Annexe".
 années 1960 : construction d'un .
 en 2012 : le Lycée Technologique régional Dhuoda ou Lycée des métiers du Bâtiment et du Développement Durable Dhuoda, le grand Lycée Technologique de l'Académie de Montpellier, accueille plus de 1600 élèves. Il héberge aussi le GRETA Nîmes-Camargue (un réseau de formation continue), le CFA public DHUODA (sections d'apprentissage), et la Plate Forme Technologique (PFT) du Gard (qui met des moyens matériels et humains à disposition des entreprises).

Architecture
La façade rue Dhuoda est très décorée : les grandes frises sont du sculpteur André Méric et les trois bas reliefs du porche de l'entrée principale du sculpteur Henri Calvet. Les peintures de Paul Christol, André Vidal et Armand Coussens ornent la salle des fêtes, à droite de l'entrée principale. Henri Pertus a peint le parloir. Les vitraux sont du maître verrier Georges Janin. Avec l'extension rue Clovis (entrées secondaires) cinq cours sont entourées de bâtiments.
Cependant, la façade rue Clovis est bien moins enjolivée, construite en simples murs de béton.

L'architecture du lycée Dhuoda a cependant un défaut majeur, qui est l'engouffrement important du vent par l'ouverture Nord menant au GRETA. Il existe également des problèmes liés à l'ancienneté du lycée, tels que l'absence de fenêtre en double vitrage et d'importants écarts entre les portes et le sol, engendrant de grandes pertes de chauffage dans le bâtiment originel. Par ailleurs, l'absence de système d'aération digne de ce nom (nombreuses sont les fenêtres qui, de par leur ancienneté, sont comme condamnées; absence d'air conditionné...) occasionne de graves problèmes sanitaires dans les classes du bâtiment originel, où l'air est vicié.

Direction

 années 2000 : Georges de Haro
 2011-2016 : Mireille Gandin
 2016-2020 : Patrice Bousquet
 depuis 2020 : François Martinez

15 days ago I bought a lenovo W540 and during the upgrade bios and operation has failed ( Bios upgrade failure).
after more than an hour, since the total system downtime, I removed the power to perform a reboot but nothing to do (black screen and beep beep ....).
I contacted Lenovo Italy and they told me that ' update bios without their consent invalidate the warranty.
I would like to suggest that you contact support once more, and again request a fix under warranty, if on this occasion you also receive no satisfaction you should then simply state that you are not satisfied and wish to register a complaint, the CSR will be able to do this for you.
Please ensure that you note the name of the CSR you speak to and also request a call number, the call number will possibly be of help at a later date.
Please give it another go yourself before contacting Mark and please let us know how you get on.
According to our Engineers if the process is done through the automatic update all the process steps and safety measures are well explained. When correctly followed these instructions the process should occur flawlessly.
It's assumed if these instructions and other that are shown during the update process are not followed, the System Board may be replaced due to incorrect procedure at your own cost (Not covered by our Lenovo Limited Warranty).
In your specific case the solution I can offer you is a billable repair and give you all the assistance needed in order to accelerate the process.
I've removed the solution flag because I don't feel that a billable repair is a solution in this case. I don't work for Lenovo and in your situation wouldn't give up on this yet.
I don't know if you have tried the following, but it's worth a go: Remove the battery and AC adapter, press and hold the start button for 10 seconds and then repeat this ten times. What this does is discharge the system of any residue power. Afterwards just attach the AC adapter and see if the system starts.
If that doesn't help I would ask Pablo how long they consider it reasonable to wait for a hung system during a BIOS update before turning it off and calling service. These processes should not fail, but sometimes for unknown reasons, they do.
Which operating system is installed on your W540 and did you receive the BIOS update through ThinkVantage SystemUpdate?
Taking in consideration all the information gathered on your complaint over the ThinkPad W540 with MT#20BG001 / SN#xxxxxxxx I would suggest a further investigation in Depot.
This alternative would allow us to make an assessment of the current state of the machine and determine the root cause of the issue.
Could you please confirm your agreement with this solution and I will make sure to organize the machine collection as soon as possible.
The results of this investigation will be shared with you in order to decide what should be the next action.
problem solved (replacement motherboard in warranty ).
Interesting to read of BIOS update problems. August, 2016, my T-P W530 went black-screen on bootup at the windows logo. Panicked, I called warrantee service since I had weeks left on my expensive 4-yr extended warrantee. Nice rep told me it was serious and I had to send it in. Box came in a few days, unit returned. About a week later, phone call relayed that there was no problem with any hardware, and it is a software problem --- their only offer was to scrub the hard drive. This was not acceptable due to various programs I owned which would be difficult for me to find (discs) and license numbers, etc. I asked that it be sent back to me, unrepaired. When it arrived a week later, I took it to a local repair facility, where they mirror the drive and reinstall. When my turn came in line to submit the laptop and explain the problem, the fellow right behind me says "Are you having boot-up problems with your W530 also?"
No such thing as coincidences. I searched the forums that night and found this has been a Lenovo problem for years (since at least 2014) with Lenovo BIOS updates. Sent this info to the shop, and they fixed the two W530s by resolving a display driver conflict caused by the BIOS update. THey set things to not automatically install any more Lenovo updates.
WHY did not the factory-authorized warrantee repair facility know this and fix it --- they had my password. One month of not having my laptop, and paying for a repair even though I had factory warrantee coverage.
Thinkpad W530, Win 7 Pro, SSD, i7 (>$3K with all Lenovo peripherals and extended/expiring warrantee, for all the good that did me).
Lenovo really think this process works without errors?
It happened to me exactly the same and have the same answer, CID possible.
I do not understand why you installed the software that suggests update the BIOS laptop, if this does not do well? LENOVO is really offensive to suggest that the client turn off the computer. But even worse, they do not tell the customer to make that update was not looking to do, but was suggested by the LENOVO software, in case of failure, will not be covered by the warranty. This is LENOVO?

Q: Reversibly encrypting filenames so that result is valid filename How do I reversibly (symmetrically) encrypt a filename (with or
without directory path, I'm OK w/ either) so that the result is also a
valid filename (less than 64 characters [or whatever the limit is], no
funny characters, ideally no spaces [but not a requirement], etc)?
Googling finds only filename encryption algorithms where the result is
a long string of binary characters (using MIME64, converting to
non-binary is easy, but this just makes the filename longer) and/or
non-symmetric one-way encrption schemes (eg, salted MD5, SHA1, DES,
etc). I don't want to store a table of hashes: I want to decrypt the
filename with a simple key I've memorized.
My own attempts with things like "mcrypt -b" failed too: the resulting
output (even before converting to ASCII) grows in size very rapidly as
the filename and key length increase.
Reasoning: I plan to use an "infinite backup" service (like mozy,
blazebackup, etc), but none encrypt filenames (just file
content). I'll create a directory that consists of encrypted filenames
with symlinks (or even hard links) to the real file. I'll back up only
that directory (and choose my own private key), and have
filename-encrypted and filecontent-encrypted backups.
EDIT: Petey's method worked like a charm!
# "-b 512" yields "Bits has bad value 512 (too small)"
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 768 -f /tmp/test.rsa
echo "thisisareallylongfilenameknightswhosayniioratleastusedto" |\
 openssl rsautl -inkey /tmp/test.rsa -encrypt | base64 |\
 perl -0777 -pnle 's/\//-/isg;s/\n//isg'

yields a 130 character result that should always be a filename!

A: You could use an RSA key pair to do this. Generate an rsa key pair plus certificate, then import that into your cert store. Use the public key to encrypt your file name, then base64 encode the result. The maximum file name length for ntfs is 255 characters, so a 1024 bit RSA key should be fine, if you need shorter file names, use a 512 bit key. When you want to decrypt the file name: base64 decode the encrypted file name, then use the private key to decrypt back to the actual file name.
Not sure if there is any freeware available to do this. If you don't want to write the program yourself, I'll do it in .Net for you (for a small fee ;).

A: How strong do you need your encryption to be?  You could use one of the classical alphabet based cyphers, such as Vigenère which will produce strictly alphabetical output, though it won't handle non-alphanumeric characters well if you want a valid filename as output.  The result will still have "/" and "." where they were before.

A: If you are very concerned about security, it's worth noting that high entropy filenames may get more attention than just "file000001", ... "fileNNNNNNN".  A separate file that maps from fileNNNN to the correct name can be encrypted separately and stored in duplicate in multiple locations.  Both methods leak zero information about the original filenames.  Alternatively, you could add a short header to every unencrypted file that encrypts the filename, thereby dispensing with a separate index.
What's more, the ability to do error detection of corrupted filenames is easier when the list of names is both known and in a pre-determined order.

7 Hidden Details On The Weeknd's Starboy
Some finer points behind the Toronto singer's new album, including a production credit from A Tribe Called Quest's Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
By Jordan Darville
The Weeknd's fourth album Starboy dropped late last night, and as you'd expect from one of the biggest pop stars in the world, a lot of people put in work to make it happen. Frequent collaborators like Belly and Ben Billions plus mega-producers like Max Martin and Diplo are all on the new record. Doc McKinney, who was a driving force on The Weeknd's 2011 mixtape, House of Balloons, also returns to shape Starboy's sound. But through listening — as well as scanning the album's credits on TIDAL and Apple Music — we were able to spot some interesting details that went into the making of the album. Check them out below.
1. Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest co-produced the Kendrick Lamar-featuring "Sidewalks."
2. "Secrets" features a sample of "Talking In Your Sleep" by The Romantics
3. The lyrics "Thank the Lord for the day" on "Party Monster" could be a version of Metro Boomin's daily Twitter prayer. Metro Boomin is also credited as producer on "Six Feet Under."

4. Future is named as a composer on "Six Feet Under," and yes, that's him on the hook.
Epic Records / YouTube
5. "Attention" features an appearance from Mustafa The Poet, a 20-year old artist and activist from Toronto.

I am writing this article of my actual experience in the last few days. There is an old Cantonese saying "kor qui lai pan". It literally means that you have placed a plank for a friend to cross a stream and after he has crossed, he removed the plank and left stranded.
As you know, I have posted a few days ago namely "Forced Selling" in which I openly said that I lost a huge sum of money. I am shocked to learn that among all my friends, only one came forward to help me. As an English saying: a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Many of my friends have asked me to manage their investment accounts. I selected 2 friends who deserved my assistance.
After reading my article "Forced Selling", they knew I am desperate for financial help. One immediately asked me to return all his capital including the paper profit when the market was good. The other told me not worry because he believes I can make back some money with my skill.
As I said, I had to sell 20 million Jaks shares on the previous trading day. The total volume changed hands was nearly 130 million shares. There must be many other investors who had to sell 110 million shares. The closing price was 50 sen. I think it was overdone. It is a good opportunity for day traders to make money.
1 When you are rich and famous, many people want to be your friend.
2 When you are desperate for help, very few people will help you.
3 Don't be shocked to know that when you are down, your so-called friend will step on you.
4 Do not expect the people whom you have helped to show gratitude.
5 When you are depressed, think of something that can make you happy. You need a diversion.


Once upon a time in central Greece ... a small town fell in love with famed film composer Ennio Morricone and painted a huge mural in his honor.
In the latest sign of their appreciation, they have commissioned a mural of Morricone's bespectacled profile on a five-story residential block, about 1,000 km (620 miles) away from his birthplace in Rome.
"It is very visible, we wanted a clear illustration of him, so it could always remain here in our town, magnificent, like him and his large body of work," said society president Konstantinos Papakostas.
"I am completely in awe of him and his music," Papakostas said.
Morricone, who turns 90 this year, is still composing music and has a series of performances lined up as part of "The 60 Years in Music" tour.


Stamford Hospital is pleased to announce its Orthopedic & Spine Institute at Chelsea Piers Connecticut (CPCT) will open on April 1. The facility provides patients with convenient access to a range of services including consultation with orthopedic and spine surgeons, imaging and integrative medicine. In addition, the 18,500-square-foot space offers motion analysis and a special program dedicated to athletes and performing artists.
The Orthopedic & Spine Institute offers advanced and comprehensive care for patients with injuries affecting their bones, joints and muscles. With expertise in total joint replacement and complex spine surgery, it became the first in the region to receive Joint Commission certification for total hip and total knee replacement and spine fusion.
The program also offers orthopedic services to treat injuries and conditions affecting the hand and upper extremity as well as the foot and ankle. It also specializes in the practice of sports medicine, treating athletes of all ages and skill levels.
In the Motion Analysis Program, experts will provide patients with motion and biomechanical analysis for specific movement. The dual assessment utilizes eight cameras and leading-edge optical technologies as well as a powerful software tool to analyze any type of movement with a dynamic, 3D avatar that can be viewed by any angle and any speed. The reports generated by the analysis can be used by a practitioner, coach or trainer who may recommend training programs that may enhance movement and/or sports performance. This program will be available beginning in June.
Athletes and the Arts, a collaborative effort of Stamford Hospital's Orthopedic & Spine Institute and Center for Integrative Medicine and Wellness, is designed to optimize performance in competitive sports and the performing arts including gymnastics. Physicians will address issues including nutrition, performance anxiety and pain management using modalities such as acupuncture, trigger point injections, guided imagery and counseling on nutrition and supplements. Promoted by the American College of Sports Medicine and Performing Arts Medicine Association, this national program creates opportunities for athletes and performing artists to access and benefit from established research, training and education.
Stamford Hospital's relationship with CPCT extends beyond it orthopedic and spine services. The Hospital is a facility-wide sponsor and Official Hospital of CPCT.


Starmobile enters the entry-level smartphone market with its newly released Starmobile HIT. This Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)-powered smartphone will also sport a mobile TV feature - something that most of its competitors don't have!
Likewise, this handset is only priced at Php 3,590. Considering that it is powered with a capable 1GHz CPU and framed at 3.5 inch makes it a good catch. Other essential internals include a 256MB of RAM, 512MB of internal memory (up to 32GB micro SD support), a 3MP rear shooter and a VGA front shooter.
As of this writing, this is the most affordable Android phone with mobile TV. So it's safe to say that its 3.5-inch screen will boost up your TV experience on the road. It'll be out this month. In the meantime, you could "hit" the rest of Starmobile HIT specs after the break.

Highway and Roadway Design Experience Project Summary for Alfred G. Handy, P.E.
Design Project: Developed location study and preliminary design of a proposed mainline barrier toll plaza to replace the existing Interchange 1 Toll Plaza facility on the New Jersey Turnpike. Environmental and engineering constraints were identified. AASHTO and the Turnpike Authority geometric design criteria were followed.
Design Project/Project Management: Responsible for roadway design and for overall project management including schedule, budget and quality for replacement of the bridge structure over Route 46 at Union Blvd. including the ramp system accessing Union Blvd. Standard NJDOT Metric Design Standards were applied to the project.
Design Project / Project Management: Redesign of the Peddie Street/West Runyon Street ramp system with I-78 and overall project management including schedule, budget and quality. Project included traffic studies, corridor analysis, public meetings, topographic survey, horizontal and vertical design of the ramp system, environmental concerns, and retaining wall design.
Design Project: Project implemented safety improvements through upgrading the approximate four (4) mile length of Applegarth Road. The project upgraded an existing signalized intersection, resurfaced Applegarth Road, and removed the existing roadside ditches replacing them with an innovative infiltration trench to meet the desired water quality and quantity criteria.
Transportation Study: Project developed an Access Management Plan for Washington Township, NJ in connection with a planned Town Center Development. The project includes traffic analysis, bandwidth analysis, corridor analysis, preliminary design for five intersections, by-pass and widening of Route 130, along with access determination for Route 130.
Project Review & Design: Responsible for the review and comment on NJDOT projects regarding pedestrian and bicycle safety and compatibility. Pedestrian and bicycle improvements based on AASHTO and NJDOT guidelines were recommended on over 30 projects. In addition, the project included the review of the 100 highest pedestrian accident sites throughout the state. Five of the worst sites were chosen, and studied with engineering and planning solutions then developed to increase pedestrian safety at each of the studied intersections.
Design Project: The project for Hunterdon County consisted of realignment and reconstruction of approximately 3,500 linear feet of municipal roadway, one "T" intersection and the replacement of the one lane bridge known as Q-40. The roadway modifications included installation of new catch basins, new horizontal and vertical geometry, new pavement, and pavement markings. The bridge was designed in accordance with the NJDOT, AASHTO, and Hunterdon County standards. Specifications and Cost Estimates were developed.
Design Project: Project contained approximately 2,200 linear feet of municipal roadway with four intersections. The intersection of Kings Road, Waverly Place, and Green Avenue is the major intersection of the project just outside of the Madison Rail Station. The improvements consisted of the construction of new sidewalks, placement of granite curbing, milling and/or the removal of the existing pavement, resurfacing with bituminous pavement, striping, and replacement of the traffic signal at Kings Road and Green Avenue.
Design Project: Project consisted of the complete reconstruction of an un-signalized "T" intersection into a signalized intersection. The work performed included redesigning the profile to increase the sight distance on both roads along with new curb profiles developed as well as typical sections, sidewalks, and the traffic signal. The traffic signal and the signage were designed in accordance with the MUTCD and the applicable NJDOT Standards. The project was reviewed and approved by the NJDOT.
Design Project: Responsible for the development and delivery of the Phase I design package for approximately two (2) miles of dualization of Route 33 (Corlies Ave.). Project included the widening of Route 33 and the upgrading of five (5) intersections, three of which required new traffic control signals. The upgrades to Route 33 include the addition of a small shoulder, dedicated turning lanes, property access, utility work, environmental permitting and Historical Society concerns. Route 33 was designed to not impact the surrounding buildings and properties.
Design Project: Culvert 4-C-528, Friendship Road Spanning a Tributary to Devils Brook located in both Plainsboro and South Brunswick Townships, was replaced by Middlesex County. The design included adjusting the vertical and horizontal alignment of Friendship Road to meet the new culvert opening.
Design Project / Project Management: Responsible for the overall project management including schedule, budget and quality. Project consisted of replacement of the bridge structure over Route 46 at Union Blvd. including the ramp system accessing Union Blvd. The NJDOT Structures Group was responsible for designing the bridge structure. Coordination with the Structures Group was an essential part of the project. Standard NJDOT Metric Design Standards were applied to this project.
Design Project / Project Management: Responsible for the overall project management including schedule, budget and quality. Project consisted of intersection improvement, which included geometrics, drainage, signalization, resurfacing, etc.
Design Project: The project consisted of the preliminary design of approximately two miles of bike path along the Delaware River front for the Town of Phillipsburg. The preliminary design included providing the client with the necessary permit documents to satisfy NJDEP requirements. The documents produced included 106 historic studies, Wetland permit, Stream Encroachment Permit, 4f and 6f studies and a final alternative report. The bike path geometry was designed in accordance with the NJDOT Bicycle Design Manual.
Design Project: Responsible for the development of the Phase III and Phase IV final submission to Morris County and the NJDOT for the Edwards Road Interchange with Route 280 (Interchange 1). The project included reconfiguration of the current interchange, the addition of two new ramps, and reconfiguration of the local roadways. Stream encroachment and wetlands permits were obtained.
Design Projects: For the open-ended agreement with NJDOT to develop preliminary concept design throughout Region I of New Jersey. The various tasks performed included the coordination of concept designs of several four-way intersections, drainage studies, and traffic studies for approximately 19 project areas, including the Route 31 corridor, Route 206, and Route 15.
Design Project: Responsible for the development of the preliminary 200-scale design, Phase I and Phase II Submissions for a 1.5 mile main line relocation of Route 120. The project includes seven (7) miles of ramps, two new interchanges, reconfiguration of the existing Route 120/Route 3 interchange, grade separated access ramp to New Jersey Meadowlands Sports Complex circulation roads, and parking facilities and realignment of the Route 3 eastbound roadway. The proposed Route 120 relocation includes three bridge replacements, one bridge widening and seven new bridges.
Design Projects: The design and contract plan preparation for 15 roadway rehabilitation projects ranging in size from four intersecting residential roads to a network of interconnecting secondary and primary roadways within a one mile radius. The rehabilitation designs included horizontal and vertical alignment improvements, typical section improvements, pavement reconstruction and replacement of the existing stormwater drainage systems. Meeting the existing adjacent property profiles placed numerous design constraints on each of the projects located in the western section of Long Island.
Study: Constructability review and preparation of cost estimate for timber sound barriers located at the Interchange of the Northern State Parkway and the Meadowbrook Parkway in Westbury, NY.
Design Projects: Prepared construction staging plans, performed constructability reviews, and prepared final cost estimate for construction of the final four miles of the Sunrise Highway (NYS Route 27).

Chicago 17th/Turabian 9th
Citation Styles: APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, IEEE: Chicago 17th/Turabian 9th
Online Version of Chicago
Chicago Manual of Style Online
Fully searchable version of the standard Chicago Manual of Style, including a Quick Guide for sample citations. Chicago Style Q&A as well as examples of style sheets, letters, and forms are also available on the site.
Chicago Manual of Style
The most recent edition is available at the Hillman Library Donald S. Wood Service Desk, and at the circulation desk at most departmental and regional libraries.
What is Chicago Style?
Chicago is a documentation syle that has been published by the Chicago University Press since 1906. This citation style incorporates rules of grammar and punctuation common in American English. Typically, Chicago style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars.
The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography.
Notes/Bibliography Style

The author-date style has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author's last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided.
