This week's show brings you the following feature interview:
Protecting Ocean Biodiversity (start time: 2:42) In honor of World Environment Day (today), World Oceans Day (Friday) the March for the Ocean (Saturday), and Capitol Hill Ocean Week (all week), we examine one of the biggest marine conservation tools: Marine Protected Areas. What's working? What's not, and why? And what does this have to do with residents of landlocked states such as Colorado? A lot. Hoe On Earth hosts Susan Moran and Sadie Babits interview Dr. Kirsten Grorud-Colvert, an assistant professor of marine ecology at Oregon State University. This interview expands our series called The Ocean Is Us. For info on this week's local March for the Ocean events, go to Colorado Ocean Coalition. National events and resources at Capitol Hill Ocean Week, March for the Ocean, and Blue Frontier Campaign.

The Unnatural World
The Unnatural World (start time: 6:58): It's an audacious topic for a book: the planet, and audacious individuals who are working to save — actually, to remake — human civilization and our home on Earth. David Biello is the science curator at TED and a contributing editor at Scientific American. His debut book, The Unnatural World: The Race to Remake Civilization in Earth's Newest Age (Scribner), will be out in paperback next month. It explores how we have altered "nature" in so many ways, from burning fossil fuels and warming the oceans and atmosphere, to tearing down tropical rain forests, to killing off so many species. In this newest epoch, dubbed by many the Anthropocene, humans are not just messing things up; they are also inventing solutions, as Biello notes. Daring optimists in his book include Elon Musk and his Tesla electric cars and trucks.

Sustainable Seafood: (start time 5:10) This is the fourth feature interview in The Ocean Is Us series, which explores how we in land-locked states are connected to the oceans and what's at stake. Today we discuss sustainable seafood, which to some critics is an oxymoron, given that some 90% of large fish already have been wiped from the sea. To discuss prospects for feeding 9.6 billion people by mid-century, the developments in wild-caught fisheries and aquaculture, and the role of retailers and consumers, we have two guests. John Hocevar is a marine biologist who directs the Oceans Campaign at Greenpeace. Carrie Brownstein develops standards to guide seafood purchasing for the Whole Foods markets throughout the United States, Canada, and the U.K.
All features in The Ocean Is Us series can be found here. Also, check out KGNU's year-long series on Colorado water issues. It's called Connecting the Drops. It's at kgnu.org and yourwatercolorado.org. To learn more or become active in preserving our watershed and the oceans, go to Colorado Ocean Coalition.

Holiday Hack 2022: Appendix A: Exploring KringleCon

Appx A: Exploring KringleCon
Appx B: Hacking KringleCon
Moving around the North Pole at KringleCon led to many interesting discoveries! While many did not have a place in the general solution for the challenges presented, they are interesting, and are worth documenting here.
Don't Lose Your Key
The game goes out of it's way to remind players not to lose their wallet key:
This is true in the real world as well. If you lost the key to your wallet, most likely you've lost access to that wallet, and whatever is associated with it.
Castle Backdoor
There are many ways to identify the hidden backdoor to the castle. I'll show a few.
Walking around the North Pole, there's a little space between the left side of the castle and the NetWars snowmound:
The websocket packet that sets up the North Pole (see Appendix B: Hacking KringleCon) also shows entrances (and exits):
"id": "shenanigansapproach",
"x": -3,
"y": -13
"id": "netwarsapproach",
"x": -11,
"y": -2
"id": "entryapproach",
"x": 7,
"id": "underground1approach",
"y": 4
"id": "reset",
"y": 18
"id": "stagingapproach",
Putting these on the map with the names from that data looks like:
Underground1, NetWars, and Staging are obvious. I suspect Reset is where you start on a new login or refresh. "Entry" will be used once the challenge is completed and the entrance to the castle opens up. Shenanigans is interesting!
Walkable Spaces
Another bit of data that can be pulled from the websocket (see Appendix B: Hacking KringleCon) is the ASCII representation of walkable spaces, the grid variable. For the north pole, this looks like:
111111111 11111                     111111111111
111111111 11                        111111111111

1    1 11111           1            111111111111
11111111         11111                111111
111111111111         11111          111111    11
111111111111        1111111         1111111111

11111111111111111111111111111      1111111111111
11111111111111111111 11111 1    1   111111111111
1111     1111111  111111111111111111111111111111
11  111   11111111111111111111111111111111111111
11111111111111111111 11 111111111111111111 11111
11111111111111111111 11 111111111 1111111   1111
11111111 111111111111111111111111111111111111111
111111111 11111111111111111111111111111111111111
111111111111111111111  1  1111111111111111111111
There's two sections that can't be reached, at the top left and top right. With some image editing, I can make that into a mask and play with the perspective until it mostly lines up over the North Pole map:
I've colors the top left and top right seconds red, as they can't be walked directly to. The path up the left side of the castle is clear!
Key Recovery
Entering the castle backdoor puts me in some bizarro version of Santa's castle entry:
This room was present in 2021, through now it has a terminal in it.
The background image is a pretty awesome rendition of the World Turtle:
Santa Magic
The single item in this room is a terminal called Santa Magic. It opens a window with Santa, who speaks very slowly. Each speech bubble lingers for a few seconds, before disappearing, waiting for me to click to get the next. This is clearly mean to be a painful process, but it does allow players to recover their wallet keys.
So, I've heard a rumor that you lost the Private Key to your KringleCoin wallet.
I must admit, I'm more than a little disappointed in you.
I'm sure that you were told that if you lose your Private Key, it CAN'T be recovered…
Well, I suppose that isn't entirely true…
Christmas Magic can do even those things that are, otherwise, impossible.
But you've been naughty, and before I'll use Christmas Magic to recover your key, you need to prove yourself!
I'm going to need you to go on a quest…
First, you'll need to find Yukon Cornelius, and help him track down what he calls a Bumble.
Take a tooth from the Bumble and carry it deep into the Misty Mountains, and trade it with Gwairhair, Windlord of the Great Eagles, for one of his feathers.
If Gwairhair is reluctant to trade, tell him that I have sent you.
With that feather, you must scale the walls of Sombertown, and find the home of Burgermeister Meisterburger.
Take the feather, and tickle Burgermeister Meisterburger, so that he may laugh and feel joy!
Once he feels joy, he'll happily give you safe passage to the Isle of Misfit Toys…
There, you must find Dolly, and tell her that a horrible mistake has been made and she's perfectly fine…
Not a misfit at all…
Thus, having set right one of the greatest wrongs of the Christmas season, you will have proved yourself worthy!
Then, if you come back here, I will tell you…
…that your key is 0x848aab77182*****************************************************
Write it down, NOW, mmmmmkay?
There are some fun items to pick out around the world in 2022.
There are four canaries in bird cages at different levels in the tunnels. Historically, Canaries were used as sentinel species, as they were sensitive to carbon monoxide, and would get sick and die before humans would.
The four canaries are on the Tolkien Ring level, between the Elfen and Web Ring levels, on the Cloud Ring level, and at the entrance to the Burning Ring of Fire, circled in yellow here:
The first canary makes a Tweety Bird reference:
I tot I taw a Grinchum…
I did, I did!
The second gives the history of canaries:
Did you know us canaries have a very storied history?
We were once considered fashionable, and only owned by royalty who cherished us for our beautiful songs.
Oh, and have you ever heard the saying "Canary in a coal mine"?
The third greets me with a meme:
ello poppet!
cough cough
The last one appears dead, but it's just Jason making his annual appearance:
Hey! It's me, Jason!
I'm not dead. I'm merely resting.
Look at my beautiful yellow plumage!
Looking at the websocket (see Appendix B: Hacking KringleCon)), it is a interesting that the npc values in the underground only show three canaries:
Jason is actually labeled as "handle", showing some effort to obfuscate this from snooping eyes like mine.
Some of the artwork from previous years in the castle is still up! I'll find them hanging in Talks track 1 (f6) and track 3 (f4), and four more in the finale (f19, f28, f37, and f39). For example, Talks track 1:
I can download all of these with a loop:
for i in $(seq 1 39); do wget https://2022.kringlecon.com/images/art/f${i}.png; done
And assemble them as pieces of a Jack Frost picture (sourced here):

Arddangosfeydd / Exhibitions
Wrexham Heritage > Exhibitions > Wrexham Museum > Back To School | Gallery 3
From February 17th 2020
Wrexham Museum's latest exhibition, Back To School, chronicles how school locally has changed over the past two centuries through memories, mementos, archives and old photographs.
It's a celebration of one of those life stages we all pass through – the best days of our lives, the prison from which we longed to escape, the start of lifelong friendships and the source of fond memories and funny stories – with larger than life teachers who inspired our imagination or drove us to prove them wrong.
The exhibition includes:
Historic artefacts and archival material connected to local schools from the past two hundred years, both from the museum collection and loans from members of the community
A series of oral history recordings about life as a teacher and as a pupil at St David's, Cartrefle, Grove Park Boys, Grove Park Girls, the board schools and the first Welsh medium schools.
A presentation made up of the many school photographs brought in during the museum's photo appeal sessions in Wrexham, Chirk, Ruabon, Brynteg and Overton.
Children's activity trail including a Do-it-Yourself Board School 'Drill' exercise. Beat the flab! Suitable for adults too.
Over the next few months, visitors to the exhibition will be able to enjoy the many school memories that are being gathered and recorded by the volunteers at Calon FM's oral history project, School Days: Stories from the Schoolyard. The recordings will form the basis of six programmes on Wrexham's school history. Staff at the museum are still recruiting volunteers to help this project.
The exhibition opened on February 17th and runs until March 5th 2021.
For more information, call 01978 297 460 or follow the museum on facebook.
February 17, 2020 - July 1, 2021
Wrexham Museum tells the story of Wrexham and surrrounding area through interactive and family friendly displays.

We have had the best day in our house because Bennett slept through the night for the very first time last night!!! I put him to bed at 8:00, gave him a dreamfeed at 11:00, then he didn't wake up this morning until a few minutes before 7:00. Woo Hoo! Go Bennett!!
Bennett's middle of the night feedings have been stretching out longer and longer just in the last week. He was waking up really consistently at 2:00 then we've slowly gone to 2:30, 3:00, and 3:30. Bennett took a really good dreamfeed last night (he usually just halfway eats) so I had a feeling we would get to 4:00 but I never dreamed he would go all night! I woke up on my own at about 6:15 this morning and my first thought was "oh my gosh it's daylight!" Then I was like "wait, did I feed Bennett last night?....No! No I didn't. Oh my gosh he did it! He did it!" I just sat and starred at the monitor with a smile on my face and it was all I could do to not shake Scott awake to tell him the good news!
I'm aware that this probably isn't going to be the consistent new thing from here on out. Bennett will most likely wake up tonight and maybe even tomorrow night. But from my experience, I also know that he's proven that he can sleep through the night now. I have a feeling that in a few weeks he will start doing it consistently and that makes me so very excited!! If you want your baby to sleep through the night put them on a schedule. It's as easy and simple as that. Babywise is everything to me!!! I want to find the people who wrote the book and kiss them.
Needless to say, our weekend is off to a good start! Let's hope is stays awesome!

Illegally Downloaded Music Has Artists Singing the Blues
Area Border Collie Hates His Name
Blues,
Downloaded,
Has Artists,
Illegally,
Singing,
By Jeremy Hoodaman
In recent years, the emergence of illegal file-sharing services, which enable the instant download of nearly every song ever released, have left consumers with a difficult decision: "Should I spend ten dollars on an album, or spend zero dollars on an album?" Consequently, US sales of CDs fell almost 20% in 2008, according to Nielsen Co.'s SoundScan service. Unfortunately for musicians, most people prefer logic to ethics.
This business just ain't the same as it used to be," says veteran performer and songwriter Miley Cyrus, "and back in my day, us real musicians would have been appreciated and respected for our hefty contributions to society. "Artists are still reeling from the blow to their livelihood, and many are experiencing their lowest record sales in history. Musicians now have to settle for smaller private airlines, which do not have room for master bedrooms and dance clubs, and they are rightly upset about this drastic change in lifestyle.
"The thing that people don't understand is that not only is stealing our music unfair to us musicians, it's just flat-out illegal," says rapper Jay-Z, who was arrested in 1999 for the stabbing of a record executive and who raps primarily about his days as a crack cocaine dealer in Brooklyn, "and these people are soon going to realize that it's just not okay to mess with the law."
Countless musicians have taken to picketing outside the White House, voicing their opinions in a more beautiful and emotionally driven way than we mere mortals could ever hope to imitate. The members of My Chemical Romance stood sullenly in the middle of the street, perfecting the sad faces they'd spent hours practicing in the mirror. Rapper Lil Wayne, rock star Ozzy Osbourne and the legendary Bob Dylan chanted indistinguishable nonsense for several hours, prompting several noise disturbance calls to the local police department. Jack Johnson uncharacteristically smashed his acoustic guitar on the ground, prompting several thousand pre-teens to break down in tears. Musicians are even threatening to withhold future albums if the public is not willing to pay for them.
Most everybody agrees that illegal downloading is unethical, and we at The Flipside completely agrees, with the exception of Nickelback, who is the worst band ever to have massacred our poor eardrums. Stealing artists' music is wrong. But remember: do not buy Nickelback albums. Don't even listen to them. Nickelback is the reason why we can't have nice things.

Det sista slagfältet är en amerikansk långfilm från 1987 i regi av Francis Ford Coppola.

Handling
Året är 1968 och den unge Jackie Willow tar värvning i USA:s armé. Hans högsta dröm är att få åka till Vietnamkriget och genomgå OCS, men han placeras istället hos 3rd US Infantry Regiment, infanteriregementet som huvudsakligen genomför ceremoniella uppgifter vid krigskyrkogården i Arlington. Willow får problem med att anpassa sig men får stöd av två underofficerare som kände hans far.

Rollista (urval)
James Caan - Clell Hazard
D.B. Sweeney - Jackie Willow
Dean Stockwell - Kapten Homer Thomas
Anjelica Huston - Samantha Davis
Mary Stuart Masterson - Rachel Feld
James Earl Jones - Goody Nelson
Laurence Fishburne - Korpral Flanagan

Om produktionen
Filmen bygger på en delvis självbiografisk roman av Nicholas Proffitt. Filmen inspelades på Arlingtonkyrkogården, Fort Myer och Fort Belvoir och utan stödet från armén med över 600 statister så hade produktionskostnaden varit det dubbla än den beräknade på 13,5 miljoner dollar. Regissörens son Gian-Carlo Coppola, som hade en mindre roll i filmen, omkom under inspelningen i en båtolycka. Det sista slagfältet fick inte särdeles god kritik och spelade in endast 5,6 miljoner dollar (mindre än hälften av budgeten) på biograferna i USA.

Over the last several weeks, I've been working on my fantasy setting of Mystamyr. Originally begun as a setting in which to place Castle Mystamyr, as part of my Red Box Dungeons & Dragons game, the area has recently been converted over for play using Mythras Classic Fantasy.
Because I'm also writing a scenario for The Design Mechanism, I needed to convert my hand-drawn campaign map over to the scale utilised in Classic Fantasy: 4 miles to the hex, and 10 hexes (40 miles) to the regional hex. Today, I got that map (some 240 miles by 240 miles) done using Hexographer.
Originally, Woodfell was centred within its own regional hex because it was the starting point for the campaign.
It's been quite a task to get the map done. That said, it's now much more useful as a tool because I can not only use it as a whole regional atlas map but also drill down into individual 40-mile regional hexes for use during play. I also plan, as part of detailing some of the other locations in my setting, to drill down into individual hexes and map them at 1 mile per subhex.
For now, the map is done. Now it's time to get back to some writing.
6 miles to the hex is best since point to opposite point is approx 7 which is great for quick rough calculations.

Leen_van_velden_compass
Flower grower Leen van Velden about the new Priva Compass
Priva has developed a new sustainable process computer for precise crop control. With Priva Compass, the crop is on the steering wheel for controlling irrigation, climate, light and CO2. Flower grower Van Velden shares his experiences.
A user-friendly computer that fits my business perfectly
Everything can be controlled remotely
It felt good, right from the start
In all honesty he says: "I realize a grower has to have a climate computer, but I mostly see it as a necessary evil." Leen van Velden from 's-Gravenzande (NL) grows a variety of seasonal flowers, ranging from dis-budded chrysanthemums to ranunculus. To precisely control the climate and water dosage in the four sections of his specialized horticultural company, he has been using the new Priva Compass since March of this year. "A user-friendly computer that fits my business perfectly."
Flower grower Van Velden purchased his first Priva computer in 2000. "Because I have four sections, often with different crops, I had no choice but to buy a very advanced computer. But that version was too complicated for me. After all, I'm not the techie type, I don't grow on substrate and I don't have CHP. So it had lots of functions I never even used. And when it comes to computers, my kids already know far more than I do," the flower grower says laughingly.
Currently he mainly grows dis-budded chrysanthemums, but that could change next year. "Trips and the loss of necessary resources certainly don't make growing chrysanthemums any easier. So we are going to think carefully about which cut flowers will be included in our cultivation program next year." Among them there will certainly be ranunculus, which will be grown in the coming months under growing lights for the first time, so they can be harvested several months earlier than usual.
What Van Velden expects from a growing computer can be summarized in a short list. "Air open or closed, control of the boiler, water dosage and, since recently, a bit of lighting; I really don't need anything else." When Dirk Prins from Priva showed him the new Priva Compass, the grower didn't need much time to think it over. "I'm an exact match for the profile Priva had in mind with this computer, both domestically and abroad, and the Priva Compass checks every box on my wish list."
His expectations have been fully met during the first six months. "The computer is very user-friendly and, above all, gives everyone in the company lots of peace of mind. Moreover, everything can be controlled remotely. Setting the watering schedule from a vacation spot in Greece, that is truly amazing, not to mention convenient."
More straightforward
He points to the accurate water dosage as an important upside. "Metering in liters instead of minutes is much more reliable. Another advantage is that all the functions respond much more quickly; you set it and it responds. It does exactly what you want and is easy to configure via the various intuitive screens."
Looking back, Van Velden is rather surprised he agreed to switch to the Priva Compass so quickly. "I'm generally a late adopter when it comes to new things, especially when it comes to automation. The computer was so new that I didn't even have the chance to see how it was working out for other growers. But the sales pitch was convincing – it felt good, right from the start. The app will soon also be available too, making it even easier to use, and then I will be 100% satisfied."
Optimal control of processes
The Priva Compass process computer was developed with the idea that a computer should be able to control irrigation, climate and light, and CO2. The computer consists of small, flexible hardware and software modules, and has a very user-friendly interface. This allows growers to monitor their process at any time of the day. Priva Compass, with its affordable state-of-the-art technology, is unique in the market. With its built-in Wi-Fi network, the computer can be operated from any device, whenever and wherever the grower wishes.
The computer can be used for various crops, such as vegetables, fruit, potted plants and ornamentals, and it is available in two basic versions: Priva Compass 2S and Priva Compass 4S. The grower chooses the version that is most suitable for their needs based on the required number of measurements and controls. With this compact computer, Priva focuses not only on small and medium-sized growing companies in the Netherlands – such as Van Velden's business – but also on entrepreneurs in new growing areas around the world.

The highest yielding part of the market for investors
By Daniel Lanyon on 19th October 2017
Investors in closed-ended funds looking for high yields will find only two sectors where the average yield is above 6 per cent.
Investment trusts in the Leasing and Debt markets have the highest average yields in the universe of the Association of Investment Companies.
With interest rates still low and investors on the search for income, the Association of Investment Companies' (AIC) universe of closed-ended funds is popular route for investors looking for alternative sources of income.
The top two sectors are yielding well over 6 per cent, with Sector Specialist: Leasing topping the list with an average yield of 6.9 per cent, while Sector Specialist: Debt follows close behind with an average yield of 6.5 per cent.
Both are key areas of the non-banking lending private debt world, also often called Alternative Credit. The debt sector includes a wide variety of funds such as BioPharma Credit, Funding Circle SME Income Fund, GCP Asset Backed Income, Hadrian's Wall Secured Investments, Honeycomb and P2P Global Investments. The leasing sector has just three funds Amedeo Air Four Plus, DP Aircraft I and SQN Asset Finance Income.
Annabel Brodie-Smith, communications director of the AIC says speculation that an interest rate rise may take place in November but even if this happens interest rates remain historically low.
"This is reflected by the strong investor appetite for income and a number of higher yielding specialist sectors are on a premium. The closed-ended structure is particularly well suited to investing in illiquid assets and these benefits were highlighted by the problems of the open-ended property funds after last year's referendum." she said.
"Investors should be aware that sentiment can change and that income from investment companies is not guaranteed. Investors should not buy on the basis of the headline yield alone. There's a broad spectrum of risk and reward, so it's crucial that investors do their homework, take a long-term view and if necessary, seek financial advice," she added.

Artist of the Week: Before You Exit
Image Source: blogspot.com
Before You Exit is a fairly new American pop rock band from Florida. They began to gain recognition around 2013 when they released songs such as A Little More You and Three Perfect Days.
The band is currently taking a break from their concert they did earlier this year. In the meanwhile, they are spending their time to promote their new single Find Yourself, a collaboration with Great Good Fine Ok. You can listen to the track below.
Back in February, Before You Exit went to Manila in support for their brand new EP album, All The Lights. The band has been to the Philippines many times, but during their tour here earlier this year, they almost had to cancel.
According to reports, Before You Exit almost did not make it to the Philippines because one of its member, Tony McDonough, just had his appendix removed. However, they did push through with their concert, with Toby explaining during a briefing in Pasig City, "I'm feeling great right now. I'm nervous to go up the stage because I know we'll be crazy up there. There'll be a lot of energy!"
#rhythmofthecity #y101fm #alwaysfirst #artistoftheweek


Very tough piece to value and sell as it's such a huge item, in terms of displaying it you'd need serious space. That puts it in a very tough spot to sell and it probably won't be as much as you think.
My advice would be to auction it with a 99p start and see where it gets to. I'd hazard a guess at about £250-300.

Home Briefing Another Preventable Death
Another Preventable Death
Your daily briefing for Saturday, April 7, 2018. Translated by Javier Liendo.
This Friday and for a third day straight, parents and patients of the JM de los Ríos Children's Hospital protested demanding medical supplies to treat their children. Last night, Richard Daniel González, a child with acute leukemia interned in that hospital, died for lack of treatment, raising the protest signs and the demand for a humanitarian channel to another level. This was another preventable death, but the government's indifference is disproportionate now. In fact, Nicolás decided to use the start of the National Vaccination Plan as an event of his electoral campaign –a master of embezzlement- and announced this obligation of the State as a personal donation and, to worsen the abuse, Health minister Luis López remarked that they'll "keep a better record of administered vaccines" with the carnet de la patria. Our humanitarian emergency is complex and the magnitude of ongoing epidemics, demand combined actions far beyond the distribution of vaccines and the offer of fumigations. Previous vaccination campaigns haven't kept measles and diphtheria epidemics at bay, and without data, since the epidemiological bulletin is now as opaque as our economic indicators, it's impossible to develop a proper strategy.
Panama-Venezuela crisis

— Canal de Panamá (@canaldepanama) April 6, 2018
Clarifying the point about the Panama Canal's neutrality, and with the confirmation that Wingo will continue operating in Venezuela, just like Venezuelan airlines will continue operating in Panama, vice-president Tareck El Aissami said that Nicolás had called ambassador Jorge Durán for consultation. Additionally, president Juan Carlos Varela said he'll implement more measures concerning Venezuela if the government continues to restrict Panama's commercial rights: "We don't want to be involved in a diplomatic escalation. We hope reason will prevail," said Varela, adding that the Foreign Ministry is studying the measures that could be taken in the coming days and weeks, saying that they're coherent with Panama's foreign policy. Varela emphasized: "We won't allow restrictions to our country's rights, such as barring Panamanian companies from transporting passengers to Venezuela."
What else happened?
To season the statement, Varela admitted that he understands the political attacks against him because chavismo is "a month away of elections that won't be recognized by the international community, but I do think that suspending the flights doubtlessly affects the Venezuelan people the most," demanding an end to measures against Venezuelans. The Lima Group expressed their support for Panama, while the U.S. government celebrated the measures taken by Panama regarding Venezuela for their "vigorous defense of democracy and human rights." Additionally, a trio of lawmakers held a meeting with Panama's vice-president Isabel De Saint Malo, to discuss the immigration and political crisis, as well as to request information about Venezuelan companies with records in Panama and of Panamanian companies with Venezuelan ties, and "the list of assets that are the product of money stolen from the country."
A great loss
No les voy a dar clases de psicología pero la depresión clínica no juega carritos.
— Cristal Palacios Y. (@CristalPalacios) April 6, 2018
Journalist Alejandro Cañizales, a voice that accompanied Caraqueños for many years, killed himself yesterday. His unexpected death opened important conversations on social media, about depression, therapy and suicide, which are currently taboo, as Alejandro himself did so many times while on the air. They were discussed with personal or close experiences; to unblock the necessary study of how the crisis we're living through affects us in ways that are hard to detect and to confess. Psychologist Cristal Palacios shared on Twitter a thread summarizing the key points about clinical depression, describing it as "an alteration of the brain's biochemistry that causes physical and psychological symptoms (…) that requires professional attention and monitoring," also saying that people take their own lives for various reasons. There's research about suicide rates in Venezuela, but it's crucial that we keep discussing about them. Cañizales' voice and the quality of his work will be impossible to forget. May his decision keep opening bridges to discuss important matters.
SEBIN's autonomy

The 31st court of control issued a released warrant for the directors of the Community Ambassadors Foundation, Gregory Hinds and Geraldine Chacón, who've been arbitrarily detained and isolated for two months. The Bolivarian Service of National Intelligence (SEBIN) must immediately release them, but as we've previously denounced, SEBIN operates as a sort of State within the State, an instance with an inexplicable autonomy that violates decisions from higher instances without consequences. And so, SEBIN officers refuse to receive the release warrant, in which judge Freddy Pérez Alvarado details that in view of the lack of a formal accusation against Chacón and Hinds, they're released with precautionary measures: they must report to court every 15 days and are barred from leaving the country. Once again, the Prosecutor's Office is an accomplice to another human rights violation by omission, but we're supposed to celebrate the dismantling of a drug-trafficking network in Anzoátegui.
– The number of Venezuelans who have requested asylum in the European Union increased by almost 800% in the last two years, becoming the tenth nationality with the most requests during this period, as reported by the European Office of Asylum Support. According to the data presented by this institution, request for international protection for Venezuelans in the EU increased by 3,500% between 2014 and 2017 and Spain was by far the country with the most asylum requests from Venezuelans.
– Former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva didn't comply with the arrest warrant issued against him by judge Sergio Moro. Before turning himself in, he chose to hide in the offices of the Sao Paulo's Union of Metallurgic Workers, with militants of the Workers Party acting as a praetorian guard, complicating the work of the Federal Police and strengthening the epic of his campaign. Yesterday, Lula da Silva's defense submitted a precautionary measure before the UN Human Rights Committee, which includes a request for the Brazilian government to prevent Lula's imprisonment until all judicial avenues are exhausted.
– Spain will pay attention to "the different stances" in the May 20 election and will base its actions on that analysis, said Spanish government spokesman Íñigo Méndez de Vigo this Friday, adding that they'll be advancing "the common stance" in the EU.
– A Committee of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (EuroLat) approved the urgent discussion regarding the humanitarian crisis caused by the high levels Venezuelan immigration during the institution's next meeting to be held in September. Spanish euro-lawmaker and EuroLat co-Speaker Ramón Jáuregui said: "the Venezuelan crisis isn't just a democratic crisis, but a humanitarian crisis of the highest order.

Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Janice K. Fedarcyk, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced three more arrests arising out of the largest coordinated international law enforcement action in history directed at "carding" crimes—offenses in which the Internet is used to traffic in and exploit the stolen credit card, bank account, and other personal identification information of hundreds of thousands of victims globally.
As part of a coordinated international takedown involving more than 12 countries, 24 individuals were arrested on June 26, 2010. Federal and local authorities arrested 11 individuals in the United States, foreign law enforcement authorities arrested 13 individuals in seven countries.
Since the June 26 takedown, three more individuals have been arrested on federal charges unsealed in the Southern District of New York, bringing the total number of arrests to 27.
Nikhil Kolbekar, a/k/a "HellsAngel," was arrested July 11, 2012 by Indian authorities in Mumbai, India; Eric Bogle, a/k/a "Swat Runs Train," was arrested on July 2, 2012, by Canadian authorities in Red Deer, Alberta; and Justin Mills, a/k/a "xTGxKAKAROT," was arrested by the FBI on June 27, 2012, in Aurora, Colorado.
Mills appeared in Manhattan federal court and was released on bail. The United States will seek to extradite Kolbekar and Bogle to the United States for prosecution.
Carding refers to various criminal activities associated with stealing personal identification information and financial information belonging to other individuals—including the account information associated with credit cards, bank cards, debit cards, or other access devices—and using that information to obtain money, goods, or services without the victims' authorization or consent. For example, a criminal might gain unauthorized access to (or hack) a database maintained on a computer server and steal credit card numbers and other personal information stored in that database.
The criminal can then use the stolen information to, among other things: buy goods or services online; manufacture counterfeit credit cards by encoding them with the stolen account information; manufacture false identification documents (which can be used in turn to facilitate fraudulent purchases); or sell the stolen information to others who intend to use it for criminal purposes.
Carding refers to the foregoing criminal activity generally and encompasses a variety of federal offenses, including, but not limited to, identification document fraud, aggravated identity theft, access device fraud, computer hacking, and wire fraud.
"Carding forums" are websites used by criminals engaged in carding ("carders") to facilitate their criminal activity. Carders use carding forums to, among other things: exchange information related to carding, such as information concerning hacking methods or computer-security vulnerabilities that could be used to obtain personal identification information; and to buy and sell goods and services related to carding, for example, stolen credit or debit card account numbers, hardware for creating counterfeit credit or debit cards, or goods bought with compromised credit card or debit card accounts.
Carding forums often permit users to post public messages—postings that can be viewed by all users of the site—sometimes referred to as "threads." For example, a user who has stolen credit card numbers may post a public thread offering to sell the numbers. Carding forums also often permit users to communicate one-to-one through so-called private messages. Because carding forums are, in essence, marketplaces for illegal activities, access is typically restricted to avoid law enforcement surveillance.
Typically, a prospective user seeking to join a carding forum can only do so if other, already established users "vouch" for him or her, or if he or she pays a sum of money to the operators of the carding forum. User accounts are typically identified by a username and access is restricted by password. Users of carding forums typically identify themselves on such forums using aliases or online nicknames ("nics").
Individuals who use stolen credit card information to purchase goods on the Internet are typically reluctant to ship the goods to their own home addresses, for fear that law enforcement could easily trace the purchases. Accordingly, carders often seek out "drop addresses"—addresses with which they have no association, such as vacant houses or apartments, where carded goods can be shipped and retrieved without leaving evidence of their involvement in the shipment.
Some individuals used carding forums to sell "drop services" to other forum members, usually in exchange for some form of compensation. One frequently used form of compensation is a "1-to-1" arrangement in which the carder wishing to ship to the drop must ship two of whatever items he has carded—one for the provider of the drop to forward to the carder, and the other for the provider of the drop to keep as payment in kind for the carder's use of the drop.
Another frequently used compensation arrangement is for the carder and the drop provider to agree to resell the carded items shipped to the drop and to split the proceeds between them.
In June 2010, the FBI established an undercover carding forum, called "Carder Profit" (the "site"), enabling users to discuss various topics related to carding and to communicate offers to buy, sell, and exchange goods and services related to carding, among other things. Since individuals engaged in these unlawful activities on one of many other carding websites on the Internet, the FBI established the site in an effort to identify these cyber criminals, investigate their crimes, and prevent harm to innocent victims.
The site was configured to allow the FBI to monitor and to record the discussion threads posted to the site, as well as private messages sent through the site between registered users. The site also allowed the FBI to record the Internet protocol (IP) addresses of users' computers when they accessed the site. The IP address is the unique number that identifies a computer on the Internet and allows information to be routed properly between computers.
Access to the site, which was taken offline in May 2012, was limited to registered members and required a username and password to gain entry. Various membership requirements were imposed from time to time to restrict site membership to individuals with established knowledge of carding techniques or interest in criminal activity. For example, at times, new users were prevented from joining the site unless they were recommended by two existing users who had registered with the site, or unless they paid a registration fee.
New users registering with the site were required to provide a valid e-mail address as part of the registration process. The e-mail addresses entered by registered members of the site were collected by the FBI.
As alleged in the complaints filed in the Southern District of New York, the defendants charged to date engaged in a variety of online carding offenses, in which they sought to profit through, among other means, the sale of hacked victim account information, personal identification information, hacking tools, "drop" services, and other services that could facilitate carding activity.
Nikhil Kolbekar, a/k/a "HellsAngel," also allegedly trafficked in fulls. In an effort to enhance his reputation as a carder, Kolbekar "dumped," or provided free access to, more than 75 usernames and passwords for stolen accounts at Facebook, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, MySpace, and other online services on the site in June 2010. Kolbekar also offered to sell "RDPs" to assist others in hacking computers internationally. RDP is a reference to "remote desktop protocol," a program that hackers sometimes use to access and gain control of another person's computer remotely. In April 2011, Kolbekar offered to sell RDPs—specifically, the computer IP address, username, and password combinations—that could be used to hack into computers in Spain, Sweden, Italy, France, Gernmany, Brazil, South Africa, the Czech Republic, India, and Turkey.
This case is being handled by the Office's Complex Frauds Unit. AUSAs James Pastore, Serrin Turner, Timothy Howard, Rosemary Nidiry, Alexander Wilson, and Sarah McCallum are in charge of the prosecution.

Opera Philadelphia Performs a Philadelphia First
Opera Philadelphia was awarded FEDORA's prestigious Fedora Generali award on June 28, 2019, for its innovative opera, Denis & Katya. Presented to the company during a ceremony in Venice, Opera Philadelphia is the first American company to receive this award. The Philadelphia premiere of Denis & Katya will take place on September 18th in the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, running for a total of eight performances.
A European program, FEDORA was established with the goal of supporting the next generation of opera and ballet artists. Under the presidency of Jérôme-François Zieseniss, the organization awards three prizes to teams that collaborate to produce a promising new opera or ballet, or educate new audiences. Of these, the Fedora Generali prize is awarded to an innovative international opera co-production.
Composed by Philip Venables and directed by Ted Huffman, Denis & Katya was co-produced by Opera Philadelphia, Music Theatre Wales and Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier. The opera tells the tragic real-life story of two Russian teenagers and covers their love, deaths, and the technology that permeated every moment in between.
Denis & Katya caught critics' attention largely in part to the video and text interwoven throughout the performance. The opera will feature both an American cast and one from Music Theatre Wales when it runs in Philadelphia in September. The show will then travel to the UK in February and March of 2020 before moving on to Montpellier.
Opera Philadelphia is a pioneer in the development of Philadelphia's high-end arts scene. Drawn to the historic neighborhood of the city, visitors from across the region travel to see shows at Opera Philadelphia. This is all thanks to the efforts of Dave Davan, the general director of Opera Philadelphia who has focused on using metrics to drive decisions, lasting partnerships and relationships with the worldwide opera community. In fact, The New York Times described Opera Philadelphia as "one of American opera's success stories."
Tickets are available online. Be sure not to miss this award-winning show!

Who is Who in EP committees?
The labour market is not ready for the future
Lucia Duris Nicholsonova (ECR, Slovakia) is the president of the EMPL committee (Photo: Lucia Duris Nicholsonova)
By Koert Debeuf
Brussels, 20. Nov 2019, 08:47
The president of the committee for employment and social affairs (EMPL), Lucia Duris Nicholsonova (ECR, Slovakia), writes in her welcome to the committee website that EMPL is "responsible for employment and all aspects of social policy including working conditions, social security, social inclusion and social protection; the free movement of workers and pensioners; workers' rights; health and safety measures at the workplace; the European Social Fund; vocational training policy, including professional qualifications; social dialogue; and all forms of discrimination at the workplace and in the labour market except those based on sex."
However, her most important worry is that "we are not ready for the challenge of ageing population, climate and digital transformation."
Duris Nicholsonova quotes figures from the European Commission saying that "around 17 percent of jobs in the EU are at risk of being automated and nearly one-in-three jobs will change significantly. The jobs threat from automation is varying from less than 10 percent in Finland to shocking 33 percent in Slovakia.
"Moreover," she continues, "in spite of a downward trend in the last years, still a shocking 22.4 percent of the Union population was at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the Union in 2017, and 24.9 percent of children are concerned by poverty and social exclusion (from 14.2 percent in Czech Republic to 41.7 percent in Romania)."
These figures summarise the challenges of the EMPL committee.
With the commission, the committee will discuss the European Pillar of Social Rights and a number of initiatives within it, such as Child Guarantee and full implementation of the Work-Life Balance Directive.
On top of that, Duris Nicholsonova promises to "keep on fighting poverty more efficiently and guarantee children access to basic services such as childcare," and to work on the pay and pension gap of female workers.
Despite the fact that all these dossiers seem to be consensual challenges, several political parties see different solutions.
But probably more important will be the divide between 'eastern' and 'western' member states.
According to Duris Nicholsonova "the differing level of employment social standards and rules on the cross-border provision of services, where they have a significant effect as competitive factors" have proved to be divisive between those states.
Here she hopes that as a president of the EMPL committee and as an "elected member of a 'new member state'" to play a role in bridging that gap.
The committee will also try to "have more efficient EU funding and avoid misusing of the funds on clearly inefficient or fraudulent projects".
An interesting new point on the agenda might come from the commission, as the committee called on it "to examine the possibility for a proposal for a European Social Security Number without undue delay."
It is clear that the EMPL committee will be one to watch in the years to come.
Coordinators: Dennis Radtke (EPP, Germany), Agnes Jongerius (S&D, Netherlands), Dragos Pislaru (Renew, Romania), Kira Marie Peter-Hansen (Greens/EFA, Denmark), France Jamet (ID, France), Elzbieta Rafalska (ECR, Poland), Nikolaj Villumsen (GUE/NGL, Denmark).
This article first appeared in EUobserver's latest magazine, Who's Who in European Parliament Committees, which you can now read in full online.
Automation threat to jobs will hit EU unevenly
MEPs excluded from deciding new EU labour agency HQ
Commission social security rules hit cross-border workers
New technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, have the potential "to displace some workers from their tasks, even causing some jobs to disappear entirely", affecting the work nature of millions of jobs in Europe, according to a new report.
29. Mar 2019, 11:33
A ministerial vote will determine the seat of the new European Labour Authority - leaving MEPs excluded from the selection process. Infamously, the new HQs for the European Medicines Agency and European Banking Authority were only decided by drawing lots.
The Commission's proposal to revise the rules on which social security system covers workers when they cross borders, originally a technical clarification, has opened the floodgates for national interests to be put above workers' rights.
Six priorities for human rights
Belgian socialist MEP Marie Arena is chairing the European Parliament's sub-committee on human rights. Her biggest challenge? Finding ways to reach objectives that cover an enormous spectrum of issues - from climate to child protection.
EU must manage climate and industry together
For Romanian centre-right MEP Adina-Ioana Valean, the previous chair of environment committee and current chair of industry, research and energy (ITRE), climate and industrial policy-making must go hand-in-hand to bring sustainability and prosperity to Europe.
ENVI to deliver 'Green Deal' as main priority
9. Dec 2019, 08:49
The French liberal MEP Pascal Canfin, who is chairing the European Parliament's committee on environment, public health, and food safety, is adamant to deliver the Green Deal quickly - because "we cannot afford to waste time".
Welcome to the EU engine room
Welcome to the EU engine room: the European Parliament (EP's) 22 committees, which churn out hundreds of new laws and non-binding reports each year and which keep an eye on other European institutions.
Which parties and countries chair the EP committees?
Although the European Parliament tries to keep a geopolitical balance within the committees, the breakdown of the actual chairs of the committees by political party and nationality is uneven - with a clear under-representation of central and eastern EU countries.


Inconsistent behavior with long labels and rotation.
I have a chart where I needed to rotate the labels (since I couldn't figure out how to wrap long lines, please add this), however one label is only three characters long, and so it centers on its column, while the rest are longer labels and align themselves to the left of their columns. Anyway to make this consistent?
I am afraid the desired behavior of the labels in Kendo UI Chart is not supported and there is no suitable workaround. I would suggest to send this idea as a feature request at our UserVoice forum - this way the community would be able to evaluate it and if this suggestion turns out to be popular we will consider its implementation for future releases of the product. Thank you in advance.


In order to be able to use the Fablabs.io API you must first register your application in the [Fablabs.io Developer Console].
Once logged-in on Fablabs.io, you can access the Console, by clicking your username on the upper right of the screen, and selecting Developer Console from the dropdown.
The API uses OAuth2 for authentication and authorization.
You register an Application in your fablabs.io account, the system will create for you an Application Identifier and a shared Secret.
Your application redirects the user to obtain an Authorization Code from the API, passing the Application Identifier, a callback URL, and optionally an unique identifier which represents the user in your app. The shared secret is used for signing the request, so the API knows that it's really your app.
Once authenticated, the user is redirected to the callback URL specified before, passing a code parameter containing the Authorization Code.
There are a few client libraries for most programming languages that simplify the OAuth process, please see the OAuth client and server implementations list.
Check the API reference, based on swagger definition, to try out the API from your browser.
The documentation uses the JSON API standard, which defines a number of conventions concerning status codes, response format, pagination and so on. Many software libraries allow to interact with the JSON-API compliant APIs in a seamless way. The following page contains a list of all JSON-API clients.
The Fablabs.io platform is open for contributions from the community.
The Fablabs.io issue tracker is the right place to flag issues and to propose new features.
Pull requests are welcome, all the pull requests are tested using Travis-CI.
On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the (forked) repository.
In the "Branch" menu, choose the branch that contains your commits.
Always make sure the test suite is passing locally before sending a pull request.
This documentation is open-source as well, so you can send pull requests for enhancing it or fixing any error.
Similar to the above, fork the Github docs.fablabs.io repository and follow the instructions in the README on how to build the documentation.
In order to be able to edit the code and contribute, you first need to setup your development environment replicating the production version of Fablabs.io.
This will allow to run tests and develop new features with ease.
The development environment is now fully ported to docker, which is the recommended way, taking only few minutes.
You will need the latest version of Docker and Docker compose installed on your machine. Docker runs on most modern OSes.
The code is mounted from the local filesystem, so any change you make to it, will be reflected immediately in the app when started in development mode.
You can also install Fablabs.io on a clean Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system.
Edit the /etc/hosts file and append the following lines, defining aliases for localhost. This way you will be able to access the web frontend and the main web interface.
Check everything is working by running the test suite.
If tests fail, check you followed all the instructions or open an issue.

Die Zuse Z23 war ein erstmals 1961 ausgelieferter Transistorcomputer, konstruiert von der Zuse KG in Bad Hersfeld. Bis 1967 wurden insgesamt 98 Einheiten an gewerbliche Kunden (Reaktorphysik, Ballistik, Vermessungstechnik, Energieversorgung, Verkehrstechnik, Bergbau) sowie an Behörden und an Hoch- und Fachhochschulen verkauft.

Technische Daten
Die Z23 hatte eine Wortlänge von 40 Bit, verwendete einen 8192-Worte-Trommelspeicher als Hauptspeicher, einen Ferritkernspeicher mit 243 Worten à 41 Bit, je nach Quelle auch 248 Worte à 40 Bit und arbeitete mit Fest- und Gleitkomma-Binärzahlen. Eine Festkomma-Addition dauerte 0,3 ms, eine Festkomma-Multiplikation dauerte 10,3 ms, eine Festkomma-Division dauerte 13 ms, eine Gleitkomma-Addition 10,6 ms und eine Gleitkomma-Division 20 ms. Die Zuse Z23 arbeitete etwa dreimal so schnell wie die Zuse Z22. Der Rechner hatte eine Grundtaktfrequenz von ca. 140 kHz und verbrauchte etwa 4000 Watt elektrische Leistung. Der bewährte Freiburger Code (eine Assembler-ähnliche und an mathematische Formeln angepasste Maschinensprache) war wie bei der Z22 ebenfalls vorhanden, genauso wie ein Algol-60-Compiler. In der Z23 wurden etwa 2700 Transistoren und 6800 Dioden verbaut, der Speicher war ein Magnetkernspeicher. Die gesamte Z23 wog ca. eine Tonne.

Die Z23 ähnelte im inneren Design dem früheren Röhrenrechner Z22. Verwandte Varianten waren die Modelle Z25 und Z26. Eine verbesserte Version mit erweitertem Speicher und einer höheren Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit kam 1965 als Z23V heraus.

Geschichte
Anwendung an deutschen Hochschulen fand die Z23 unter anderem bei Heinz Bittel an der Universität Münster, der dort eine Professur innehatte und Gründungsdirektor des Instituts für Angewandte Physik war. Bereits 1958 erhielt die Universität die erste elektronische Rechenanlage Zuse Z22. 1962 wurde die röhrenbestückte Anlage gegen die transistorisierte Zuse Z23 ausgetauscht, sie ging 1966 an das 1964 gegründete Institut für Numerische und Instrumentelle Mathematik. Auch am Institut für Physikalische Chemie der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main wurde die "elektronische Rechenmaschine" Z23 bereits 1964 von Hermann Hartmann eingesetzt. Am Institut Boris Kidrič in Belgrad (damaliges Jugoslawien) nutzten Forscher das Gerät um dieselbe Zeit. Der Rechner wurde zum Preis von 180.000 DM verkauft. Er war der am weitesten verbreitete Transistorrechner in Deutschland.
