Athens University of Economics Joins World Academic Elite
The Athens University of Economics and Business is among the top 200 universities worldwide according to the prestigious Shanghai International Ranking of World Universities.
The organization, which produces one of the most authoritative lists in the world, ranked more than 4,000 higher education institutions in 52 scientific fields.
The Athens University of Economics and Business was ranked between 151-200 in the field of Social Sciences.
In particular, in the field of Economics, it was assessed as being on par with famous universities such as the Freie University in Berlin, Heidelberg University, Queen Mary in London, the Technological University of Munich, the University College of London and the University of Vienna.
Rankings were based on variables such as the number of publications, citations, international collaborative publications, publications in high-quality scientific journals, and the number of university staff who received scientific prizes.
"The international recognition enjoyed by the Athens University of Economics and Business once again is the result of many years of effort by its members, often in particularly difficult circumstances," Emmanouil Yakoumakis, Rector of the Athens University of Economics, said.
He added that "This recognition encourages all of us to continue this effort. The international good reputation of Greek universities is a springboard for the country's progress."

IDSR guideline manuals are available in 3 languages: The IDSR Technical Guidelines were finalized in 2002 and revised in 2010 to align with the IHR (2005) core capacity requirements. The guidelines are intended for use as a general reference for surveillance activities across all levels of the health system. They explain how to conduct the steps illustrated in the IDSR matrix, including a set of definitions for thresholds that trigger action for responding to specific diseases. The revised IDSR Technical Guidelines (2010) include surveillance guidelines for priority diseases and conditions as well as guidance for collection of data on non-communicable diseases and events of public health concern.
In collaboration with the World Health Organization's Africa Regional Office, CDC developed training modules to support workshop and pre-service training in IDSR skills and knowledge. CDC also collaborated with WHO/AFRO to transform the workshop training materials for Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) into electronic modules. The course includes measurable performance objectives, realistic examples, meaningful practices, and real-time feedback to learners.
To test the course's effectiveness and develop a plan for teaching the course abroad, CDC helped conduct an IDSR e-Learning pre-launch workshop in Blantyre, Malawi. At the end of the workshop, participants completed a draft course guide for Malawi. The guide includes considerations such as target audience, course schedule, and budget that will be useful for other countries that are interested in implementing the course.

With so many moving parts, national disease surveillance and response systems are complex and can be difficult tricky to evaluate. After Ebola hit West Africa in 2014, WHO/AFRO and CDC worked to make IDSR easier to understand and put into practice from the frontline health post to the top level of national public health. The framework uses five key elements to evaluate IDSR use within a public health system and identify any problems.
Ethiopia was one of the first countries to work with CDC and WHO to test out the new evaluation tool to improve health threat detection and response abilities. We hope that Ethiopia's successful pilot of the IDSR evaluation tool can act as a guide for other countries to strengthen health protection efforts across the globe.
SurvCost is a spreadsheet-based tool developed to aid public health officials to estimate the cost of Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) systems at national, region/province, district, and health facility levels.
SurvCost estimates the costs of seven categories of resources: personnel, office operating items, transportation, laboratory materials and supplies, treatment and programmatic response items, media or public awareness campaigns, and capital items. The estimates of costs-by-category will allow surveillance system managers to better understand the resources required to operate IDSR systems.
SurvCost may also be of use to managers of other disease surveillance systems who wish to estimate their costs.


So, you all know how much I love music and enjoy creating playlists. Well, ta-da! Here's a sneak peak at the playlist for the sequel to Rising Shadows. This is just a little taste of the ridiculous number of songs that I'm sorting through until I find the perfect ones for the sequel. It has been so much fun writing the book while selecting music for the playlist, because most of these songs have actually inspired scenes and feelings that I hadn't yet written in or imagined. These are my favorite songs so far that I listen to constantly, and I specially selected these to share because each one inspired something in the book. Music addicts like me honestly have to add these to their iPods or get them on YouTube, just so they can get a feel for the tone of the next book. I'll also be listening to each song as I write about them, and I recommend that you pull them up and listen while you read to get the full effect. Enjoy!
My first possible-scene-obsession-song of the summer. My magical music guru, Katie, led me onto this sweet little morsel. She was listening to it while I was working on the playlist for Rising Shadows and thought the lyric about "the one who creeps in corridors" would be perfect for the Shadow. Then we spent the better part of an hour shooting ideas for the scene back and forth, throwing out characters ideas, and playing with the symbolism for the scene versus the song literally directing it. Like the rest of the book, I already have it written out in my head, but even Katie has no idea what I'm actually going to do with it.
Ohmysweetgoodness! It is going to be a very emotional and intense scene, and you'll get what I mean when you reach about 3:45 in the song (You can stop after 5:30). My sister Liz turned me onto his "Small Bump" song, and we purchased the rest of the CD days later, where "Give Me Love" became our next blare-in-the-car tune. Like the rest of these songs, this one inspired a certain part of a scene that I already planned on writing, but it definitely added more emotional depth to this particular moment. I am so looking forward to writing this one! I love drama! … In books. Real life, not so much.
This song has a really great sound to it—I love the guitar—and it just puts me in one of my very thoughtful, I-must-write! type of moods. When a song inspires me to write or I think it would really fit well with a scene, I become obsessed with it and just leave it on repeat for hours as I play the scene out in my head, trying to match the lyrics or have them affect the tone of the scene. I drove my sister Katie nuts the other day because I listened to it fifteen times in a row, after which she begged me not to make it sixteen. ^__^ This song has a very melancholy sound, which for some reason, I am drawn to when writing. Little spoiler: This is from Sarah's perspective just after someone close to her dies … And that's all I can say. Sorry, it's just a tormenting taste.
I have been a Switchfoot fan for years, and when I heard this song just before the release of Rising Shadows, I knew I had to write something into the second book where this was the "theme" song (it appears fairly quick after "World Spins Madly On"). Every time I listen to this song, I immediately think of Will (sigh) and have this really melancholy moment with him. Plus, this track has the word "shadow" in the title. I mean, come on; I had to add it. I have not typed out this scene yet, but trust me, it is completely written in my head—drafted, revised, and spell checked!—and I cannot wait to be able to finally get this scene down on paper.
My older sister Elizabeth introduced me to this one—thank you, thank you, thank you!—and I have added it to just about every playlist on my iPod so I'm never without it. "How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes, I struggle to find any truth in your lies … But my weakness I feel I must finally show." When I heard these lyrics, I immediately pictured a moment between Will and Sarah; they have this fantastic draw to each other, but they also fight it constantly—Sarah, because she knows she can't stay in the twelfth century, and Will, because he's afraid to let anyone in. There's also the fact that the song talks about truth and trust, which has always been a theme in their relationship, and then the line about weakness completely describes Will opening up to her. Ah. Don't you just love it when a song can sum up your first book in three and a half minutes?
I already have one of their songs, but when I heard "Demons" on a movie trailer, I purchased their new CD without listening to the rest of it. Not recommended, but this time it actually turned out really well! I dedicate this entire song to Will, especially for the sequel. Once again, I got this song three days ago and have listened to it probably twenty or more times.
More scene-inspiring music for the sequel!

NEW YORK – Harley-Davidson Inc. said Thursday it will begin selling motorcycles next year in India, the world's second-largest motorcycle market, where the company hopes its iconic, heavyweight bikes will find a niche among the country's rising middle class.
The Milwaukee-based company said it has established a subsidiary near Delhi and has begun scouting the country for dealers.
"Given the rapid development of India's economy and physical infrastructure, this is exactly the right time to bring the world's greatest motorcycles to one of the world's largest motorcycling nations," said Mark Levatich, Harley's chief operating officer, in a statement.
India is the world's largest market for motorcycles behind China, but it is overwhelmingly dominated by smaller, inexpensive bikes used primarily for transportation, said Dilip Chenoy, director general of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.
Still, Harley said the country's growing economy, rising middle class and expanded highway construction has created a market for leisure motorcycle riders.
The move marks Harley's latest push into developing markets overseas, where it hopes rising incomes and the company's strong brand identity will spur sales and help offset flagging business at home.
International sales have made up a growing part of Harley's business. In 2008, motorcycle shipments in the U.S. fell 15 percent to 206,000 units while international shipments climbed 9 percent to 97,107.
Shares of Harley-Davidson fell 23 cents to $21.72 in morning trading. The stock has gained 29 percent since the start of the year, as investors begin to see a recovery in demand after a wrenching drop in sales during the U.S. recession.

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is a Membership organisation, which means that anybody can become a Member of the trust and help shape its future and the quality of care and services it delivers.
Membership is free and is open to anyone over the age of 14 years old: all we ask is that you complete our online membership form which you can find at www.sussexpartnership.nhs.uk/membership or if you have not got access to the internet call 0800 015 3357.
Our Members play a vital role and here we celebrate their roles and find out more about why they became Members.
Mel Smith
Mel Smith is a Member of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Service User Governor, representing West Sussex.
Mel has had a neurological condition since she was young, but over the last 6 years has developed a mental health illness.
In her own words, here is Mel's inspiring story about how she came to be a Member and why she is encouraging more people to get involved with their local NHS mental health trust.
Membership really does matter.
"Seven years ago I contracted a virus. This virus left me near death, in a coma, for months. Suddenly (and most unexpectedly) I came out of the coma. My family had been prepared for me to never recover. However, the virus caused a mental health problem. For the next five years I was in hospital. For every moment of those years I tried my very best at every single thing I was asked to do, at every single thing I was told to do and at every single thing I needed to do. For not one moment did I feel accepted for who I was, nor did I feel liked for who I was. But then I got involved in voluntary work where the patient is turned to and asked to give their perspective on the services within the hospital where they are receiving care and treatment. This work was greatly enjoyable – I finally had a feeling of self-value. And when I left the hospital I had been in I missed it greatly.
I moved to Sussex and I looked around for things to do. I discovered the voluntary work one can do with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and I signed up straight away. I knew this opportunity would be a way of doing the kind of work I had been doing before in the hospital. This voluntary work led me to hearing about the Governorship elections for the Trust. I was unsure of my abilities and when I addressed this with staff I had been working with in my voluntary role I was very greatly encouraged.
Now, I am a Service User Governor for West Sussex and I must tell you that joining the Membership of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust really does matter. You are wanted, needed and heard – your opinions and experiences (both bad and good) are totally wanted. Your opinions count, they matter. Please join as a Member; then you can see how they are heard, and you can see that we pay attention and act on what we hear. My old boss from years ago said to me "We are all like computers Mel….. Some might be wired a little differently but still make valuable contributions."
So please do join as a Member – your contribution will be valued."
"As a carer I wanted to make sure carer issues were at the forefront of the Trust's thoughts and by joining the Trust as a Member and, subsequently standing as a governor, this has allowed me to influence policy and represent carers at the highest levels."
Mark Hughes, Carer Governor
Amy Herring
"There's no better time to become involved in mental health in the NHS than now. The NHS is considered a complex organisation, but we need the strong accountable voice from Governors to help us and our partners move forward in providing the high standards of compassionate care to our local community."
Amy Herring, Lead Governor
Elizabeth Hall
"Having had mental health needs for years, and worked for NHS, I joined as a Member to give something back. I went on to become a Governor and the role is fulfilling, rewarding and satisfying. As a member with an interest in mental health I urge you to consider standing for Governor; mental health needs you."
Elizabeth Hall, West Sussex, Public Governor

Units of the Local: AFT-NEROP
WBNG Members Protest Denial Of Contractually Required Training Opportunity
February 3, 2017 February 3, 2017 -
In a show of solidarity for members of their unit who were denied participation in training staged by their employer, WBNG members wore protest buttons on Jan. 31, the second day of a four-day American Federation of Teachers organizing workshop.
Nearly a quarter of the 46 members of the Guild-represented Northeast Region Organizing Project were missing from a four-day employer-sponsored workshop in late January. What wasn't missing was a provision in the Washington-Baltimore News Guild contract stipulating that the American Federation of Teachers has to provide annual training to every member of the NEROP shop.
Fellow WBNG members had their back. In protest of the absent colleagues assigned to the Cornell Higher Education campaign, the other three-quarters of the NEROP unit took "button action" at the training session, wearing Ithaca-support badges all day and posting related images on social media. For the purposes of News Guild solidarity It was anything but "too little too late."
AFT-NEROP workers in Ithaca and Philadelphia had been told in early January that they would not be going to the training sessions (Jan. 30-Feb. 2) near Washington, D.C. even though all other NEROP organizers – including those based in Buffalo, New York City, Long Island, Vermont, and Massachusetts – would be in attendance.
The reason given by management? As a NEROP Guild member put it in a statement on Jan. 9: "The Ithaca shop is being denied access to attend the NEROP training on the grounds that the Cornell Higher Education Project takes precedence."
"Since a representation election will not be conducted until late March at the earliest," noted Mark Friedman, NEROP unit chair and chief steward, "we were not convinced by management's argument that a four-day training would undermine the success of the Cornell campaign."
On Jan. 13, a Friday, Guild members filed a grievance against AFT management in Ithaca, noting that the refusal to provide such training violated the three-year contract signed in July 2015. On the following Monday, nearly every member of the Ithaca shop faced some form of intimidation, with one being disciplined for taking personal days and another having a per-diem revoked.
Friedman, speaking from the workshop site in Silver Spring, Md., said that the training violation and other issues finally and for the most part have been resolved.
Meanwhile, there's no question that the unit members have grown closer. The early-January protest statement emphasized that training "not only serves as an important source of our professional development, but also is a chance for our entire unit to meet and grow stronger."
And as it turned out, the rest of the unit made the best of its chance. "Despite management's efforts to intimidate us, their tactics failed," the Ithaca Guild members said in an email. "In fact, they made us stronger and more united than before."
WBNG Brings 'Beyond the Beltway(s)' Shops Into the Fold
February 20, 2016 October 19, 2016 -
Mergers with locals based in North Carolina and New York have expanded WBNG's membership and geographical reach.
To the south of Washington and Baltimore, the two shops that comprise the former IUE-CWA Local 83188 are the North Carolina AFL-CIO and the Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF) organization, both of which are based in the Research Triangle.
And in the other direction from WBNG headquarters – mostly north of the local's traditional jurisdiction – the American Federation of Teachers' Northeast Regional Organizing Project members in 2015 voted 29-2 to affiliate with WBNG. The shop had been represented by an OPEIU local that had disclaimed its bargaining rights.
Headquartered in Durham, the farmworkers' rights group traces its current mission to 1992. Since then, the organization has brought "more than 700 young people into social justice work and has supported 80,000 farmworkers' efforts to gain access to a more just agricultural system."
Among SAF's honors are a Research Triangle Cross-Class Bridge Builder award for "work with people of diverse classes and races," and a Diamante Award for making significant contributions to the Latino/Hispanic community.
Nadeen Bir, the organization's Advocacy & Organizing director, heads up the unit at SAF. The shop's current contract, now serviced by WBNG, expires at the end of July.
At the state federation office in Raleigh, Jeremy Sprinkle is the unit chairperson. The three-year contract there expires Dec. 31, 2016.
The AFT-NEROP shop, the former Office and Professional Employees International Union unit, has about three dozen organizers-in-training, organizers, and senior organizers.
Shortly after affiliating with WBNG, the NEROP bargaining team was formed: new Guild members Malcolm Emerich, Sara Gordon, Jessie Leiken, and Local 32035 Executive Director Cet Parks.
Bargaining began in New York City in June 2015, and a three-year deal was reached relatively quickly. The new agreement runs from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018.

It takes so much time because of reading from memory every time. I have enough gpu memory to load the whole dataset at once. It will be much faster. What is the best way to do it?

A: You can store the images as an attribute of the dataset, put it on the GPU at initialization, and let __getitem__ return images from this directly.
import torch
from torch.utils.data import Dataset, DataLoader

class GPUDataset(Dataset):
    def __init__(self):
        self.len = 1550
        self.data = torch.randn(self.len, 3, 112, 112).cuda()  # ~ 223 MB

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        return self.data[index]

    def __len__(self):
        return self.len

dataset = GPUDataset()
loader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=4)

batch = next(iter(loader))
print(batch.device, batch.shape)    # cuda:0 torch.Size([4, 3, 112, 112])

This is meant to be a quick fix for small datasets. For larger datasets, consider more advanced solutions such as lmdb.


We have been working with young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) for many years now and have just completed delivery of our second film production training course for The Prince's Trust.
1. Set an informal contract at the beginning of the work. This will include timetables and time-keeping, behaviour and language. This is worked out in partnership so that everyone is on board.
2. Create a clear beginning, middle and end so there is a complete creative process. Ensure that this process does not last too long so that concentration levels are maintained and participants remain committed.
3. Give the participants creative control, facilitate their learning and do not take over. You should not be holding the camera and you should be the one editing!
4. Focus on the process and not the end product, if the participants enjoy the process, are learning and feel in control they will ensure that the end product is good.
5. Allow people to learning from their mistakes.
6. Ensure that there are clear learning outcomes at the end of each session, for people with low levels of concentration this will ensure that they come back for the next session.
7. Understand that some people will flourish and others will take time. Make sure that there are enough tasks to keep everyone involved and that the strongest one in the group has not taken over.
8. Be encouraging, if people are not confident one negative comment can make them disconnect from the process.
9. Be yourself, people want authenticity, they want to trust you and to feel that you can connect with them. It doesn't matter what age you are or what you look like, I have found that young people are much more accepting and open than adults. If you can teach them something that they want to learn, then they will listen.
10. Celebrate their work, with a certificate, screening or event at the end of the process.

Added Episode 1: Til Death Do Us Part
Til Death Do Us Par
Finally a solid season premiere that didn't suck. A lot went down in this one and I for sure thought they were going to kill Dixon off for a few seconds. But when they were dragging out Annie identifying Dixon at the morgue, I knew he would be revealed to be at the hospital. Interesting turn of events with Liam burning down his Bar. It's just a question of just how fast his crazy Manager/Ex Girlfriend will use the information to blackmail him back into a relationship. Was kinda surprised to see Lori Loughlin return to the show. With Dixon being laid up for the foreseeable future, she will be around for the time being. I don't like Max's business partner which means he is going to add some much needed drama to the show as he tries to break up Max and Naomi.
« Last Edit: October 23, 2012, 10:07:38 pm by Chiprocks1 »
Added Episode 2: The Sea Change
The Sea Change
This was a very odd episode and a lot of things just did not sit well with me because it was absurd. First, I just don't buy that anyone, no matter how low their self esteem may be, can bang a complete stranger in Vegas and then suddenly have "feelings" that Adriana apparently has for the Promoter Guy, The longing looks and jealousy at Naomi's party just did not ring true at all. Dixon in a wheelchair, already at home and able to go to the party also doesn't make sense given the devastating car crash he just survived. Annie "teaching" Dixon a lesson by giving him the slient treatment so soon after begging and praying that he would survive and live. False!
Now for the best part of the entire episode: Vanessa and Liam. A lot of people getting tossed off balconies this week. First it was Amanda on Revenge and now Vanessa takes a flying leap, courtesy of Liam. Speaking of hard to swallow character turns. Suddenly he has no problems burning down his bar and taking the insurance money and now he is willing to retract his 911 call so that Vanessa for all intents and purposes can drown. Well, we all know she will pop up down the road. I like this new crazy psycho! She is a cross between Emily Valentine and Jen Clark.
FYI, the money shot to end all money shots happens in the first 1 minute of the episode. Good God, did you see Naomi rockin' that bikini?! Yowzza!!!
Added Episode 3: It's All Fun and Games
It's All Fun and Games
Look, I don't expect a show like 90210 to stay true to the realities of the world, but this arc with Dixon is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever come across. So, he is in a major car accident that leaves him confined to a wheel chair for the first two episodes and now, all he needs is some guy to yell at him and to kick his ass to prompt him out of said chair? Which by the way, he did pretty quickly with no problems. And now he is surfing the very same day? You don't see anything wrong with this picture? They way he was hopping around the bar, you'd think the worst he suffered in the crash was a sprained ankle. Sheesh!!
And now for Silver. How much you wanna bet that the negatives for her **** photos are going to leak out a lot sooner than you think, branding her in a way she doesn't want to be branded. The twist with Vanessa was somewhat interesting. I don't think for one second she has fled the states. Duh.
Oh, and I just realized just now, this very second. Where the f*ck is Ivy?!
Added Episode 4: Into the Wild
How can such a weak episode leaves such a lasting impression on my impressionable mind? The whole Naomi/Max and Navid/Dixon/Liam story taking place out in the woods was booooooooring! And don't even get me started on Liam's new co-star for him upcoming movie. But, she did rock that bikini for sure. Not to be outdone was Adrianna's strip dress rehearsal that she performed. Hated the song, loved the moves. And it seems like the sleaze won't be stopping anytime soon. It looks like Silver will be shaking her moneymaker soon since we see her signing up to do just that. Wheeeeeee!!
Added Episode 5: Hate 2 Love
Hate 2 Love
I wonder who Colin is working with? Perhaps it's Alex and he is just trying to steal everything from Max so that he can get 100% of the profits. This episode did have two sucky moments. Dixon "rapping" was one of them. But I think the viewers that watch this show would agree that we got gypped when they didn't even show Silver doing his strip thang. Bah!! Also, they kinda trampled all over Nelly Furtado's cameo with talking head scenes.
Added Episode 6: The Con
The Con
I know these are fictional characters and characters that I shouldn't even waste my time with, but I felt bad that Max got his intellectual property stolen from him so easily by Colin. I think that is the last we see from both Colin and Alec and I'm A-Ok with that. Good riddance. Now for the best scene of the entire episode: Naomi as Slave Leia! Ka-Ching!!!! The scenes at the Con were fun.
Added Episode 7: 99 Problems
99 Problems
Meh. Kind of a boring episode with the lame Annie/Riley subplot still going. End this story-line now. Also, the whole Dixon/Adriana thing needs to hurry up and self implode. It's only a question of WHEN that video of Adriana doing that stip tease music video and then doing what's his face will surface and Dixon finds out. The only good thing about this episode was the most obvious regarding Liam's "Security Guard". I knew that she was just a Stalker posing as a Cop to get close to him. I found it very humorous when we see her getting a tattoo of his face on his back. Hahaha.

Compelling Energy Journalism

Good Governance can Work
By admin • September 24, 2010 • Filed in: Uncategorized
The rancor permeating Washington is getting to me. While the loyal opposition is encouraged to vigorously present its ideas, it is not supposed to vilify and continually obstruct the party in power.
This is not a political statement. It's a civics statement. Compromise is the art of politics. But as the parties are being pulled to their respective fringes, governance has become a nightmare and average people are feeling alienated.
Witness lately what has happened with the health care bill. Certainly, no one is satisfied with how their premiums keep going up while the benefits are always being cut. So, there must be some things that the two sides can do together? But the more vitriol that is spewed, the less likely it is that anything positive can occur.
It's also counterproductive for the party out of power. Do the Republicans, for example, think they can win with only their Tea Party activists? Or do you think it more reasonable that they try to appeal to moderates who make up the majority of the electorate? Their lawmakers need to act like statesmen and stateswomen, standing up for their causes without using the kind of disturbing language that leads to illicit acts.
It's not just the right wing fringe that does this. It's also the radical left. If their mutual goals are to destroy each other then it should not be a mystery why the typical American holds their elected representation in such disrepute. The system, no doubt, works more efficiently when party leaders cross the aisle and craft the solutions necessary to address society's ills.
The backlash from the health care debate is starting to have some resonance. Members of the two parties, for instance, are at least talking in earnest with respect to a banking bill or an energy bill that would take a more modest approach to curbing carbon emissions.
Believe me, I understand the strong sentiments on all sides of these issues – and have the reader responses to show for it. But it's not about winning at all costs. It's about generating rules and regulations that are workable and ones in which all sides can stake a claim. Americans will then take more pride in their system of government. ###

This tip comes from Dav Glass, whose work on YUI at GitHub requires him to bring in commits frequently. So, he's created a helpful alias so he can merge in changes easily.
Now git pu will grab all of the latest changes from both remotes, and then merge in the commits from upstream.
How is this different from just doing a git pull upstream master? This brings in changes from two different sources: his own fork and the main repository (the upstream). Doing a pull usually only brings changes in from one source. If you're confused about how this works, check out the History section of Git for Computer Scientists for some graphs on how the fetching and merging process works.
Of course, there's plenty of different ways you could tackle this problem. For example, you could use rebase or even pull with rebase instead of merging. It all depends on how you want to organize your repository's history, and what's easiest for you.
If you have aliases or suggestions to make this process easier, let us know!

To name Frank Lloyd Wright is to speak of a true visionary who created more than a thousand structures and authored 20 books dedicated to his great passion, organic architecture. As he said, we should put a capital N on Nature and go there: everything should spring from it and end with it, giving forth buildings that are integrated to their environment, as well as synergic, fluid interiors.
Wright is considered a pioneer in the use of materials and technologies, an avant-gardist and one of the main theoricians of urban planning. We can pin him down as the father of organicism and the champion of an "architecture for everyman".
MoMA AND FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AT 150
MoMA | Frank Lloyd Wright
It has now been two years since Frank Lloyd Wright would have hit the 150-year mark. As an icon of architecture and design, New York's MoMA made him the subject of a celebration with the exhibit Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive, consisting of more than 450 works, including models, blueprints, sketches, drawings, photographs, published articles, furniture pieces, textiles and even building fragments, all of them created by the visionary between 1890 and 1950.
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT | ICONIC WORKS
Frank Lloyd Wright | wtop
There is no better way to recall this legendary architect than evoking four of his most iconic creations:
LARKIN COMPANY
Frank Lloyd Wright | Larkin Company Administration Building
One of the works in which Wright began to cultivate organicism, this project sprang from its owners' ideal of providing an atomosphere of great efficience, but also of great cooperation, among its workers. This theme resulted in a design in which the building's central space was left void from the ground floor up to the ceiling, with open floorspaces featuring balconies that, besides providing a natural system of ventilation and lighting, functioned as a permanent reminder of the company's ideals and values, ornamented as they were by plaques and ironwork with work-related mottos.
The interior design and furnishings responded to the daily workings of the enterprise but also –a highly innovative notion for the time– to the well-being needs of the workers by offering communal dining rooms, public rooms and a lounge outfitted with a fireplace for the fostering of community culture. With this project, Wright anticipated today's workplace standards.
KAUFMANN OR FALLINGWATER HOUSE
Probably Wright's most iconic and important work, this building redefined the relationship between man, architecture and nature by incorporating the waterfall it takes its name from as an essential element of the project and not a mere object for contemplation.
In his quest for a union between nature and man, Wright found his starting point: his admiration for Japanese architecture and his ideal of harmony with the environment led him to lay the house's foundations on the site's very rocks and to design it around a nucleus that brought the waterfall inside the house, even going as far as to conceive steps leading directly into the water.
The beauty of this house comes from the extension of its spaces into nature, through large cantilevered terraces that are project as a sculptural element, the site of a cult to harmony between man and nature to be renewed each day.
TALIESIN WEST
Frank Lloyd Wright | Taliesin West
This work, considered the epitome of organic architecture, was conceived by Wright from a strong conviction of the need of a link with the desert through building with local materials, principal among which are rocks.
Every space respects its environment, belies an almost natural fusion, as if the house had sprung spontaneously from the terrain.
SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM
Frank Lloyd Wright | Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
This new interpretation of the organic comes from an abstraction of curved and circular planes, in a continuum that breaks with New York's urban grid. Today, it constitutes an iconic point of reference for lovers of art and architecture.
Outside stands the vortex of reinforced concrete. Inside, its whirls mount around a great void, finished by a glass dome. Fluid and sinuous from bottom to top, its majesty commands.
Frank Lloyd Wright is not only an icon of his time but also of the visionary and creative spirit of mankind: an indispensable architect.
My buildings see clearly not only the color, drift and inclination
of my own day, but feed its spirit. All of them seek
to provide forms adequate to integrate and harmonize
our new materials, tools and shapes
with the democratic life-ideal of my own day and time.

'Chasing the Light': Mild Stone
Oliver Stone, 1987
While increasingly forgotten today, writer-director Oliver Stone might have been the most talked-about figure in American popular culture from 1986 through 1992, when the press suddenly went to war against him over his JFK conspiracy-theory movie.
Stone's new memoir Chasing the Light recounts his first four decades from his birth in 1946 (not surprisingly, the first year of the baby boom) through his annus mirabilis in 1986. Staring at the fact that few directors get a chance to break through after age 40, he suddenly delivered the wildly entertaining Salvador and the universally admired Vietnam War movie Platoon.
I've always felt that Stone, who enlisted as a private in the Army after dropping out of Yale and was wounded twice in Vietnam, was more than entitled to be a critic of his country's invade-the-world foreign policy.
Interestingly, before emerging in movies such as Wall Street and Born on the Fourth of July as a celebrated critic of Ronald Reagan's policies, military and economic, Stone admits in his book that he voted for Reagan in 1980, just as he had supported Barry Goldwater as a preppie in 1964.
There isn't much detail on Stone's political change of heart in Chasing the Light. My guess is that Stone's politics, like those of old-time science-fiction author Robert Heinlein, may be influenced by whoever is his current wife. His first wife back in the 1970s was assistant to the U.N. ambassador appointed by the king of Morocco, a U.S. ally during the Cold War, while his Texas-born second wife, whom he married in 1981, was more leftist.
With his South Korean third wife since the 1990s, he's become more of an idiosyncratic centrist, making moderately sympathetic biopics of Republican presidents Nixon and W. Lately, Stone has been especially hated by the mainstream press for interviewing Vladimir Putin for a documentary.
Chasing the Light is striking for a 2020 book for its lack of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The current president, who so tediously obsesses the rest of the cultural industry, is mentioned only once, in passing, when Stone observes that Italian movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis, like Donald Trump, treated lawsuits like traffic tickets. Even America's most notorious conspiracy theorist doesn't take the media's Russiagate conspiracy theory seriously.
"Even America's most notorious conspiracy theorist doesn't take the media's Russiagate conspiracy theory seriously."
There aren't too many inside-Hollywood revelations in Chasing the Light, perhaps because Stone has been interviewed over the years as much as anybody in America.
He mentions a couple of casting regrets: Tom Cruise would have been ideal for his 1987 Wall Street (he ended up going back to his Platoon star Charlie Sheen), but Cruise was waiting around for Dustin Hoffman to start filming Rain Man. In turn, while Cruise was fine in Stone's 1989 Born on the Fourth of July as wheelchair-bound Vietnam vet Ron Kovic, Stone regrets that few ever saw Al Pacino's rehearsals in the late 1970s for a Born that was called off for lack of financing.
Stone began his career as a screenwriter. He's proud that he wrote six days per week while hacking a cab in Taxi Driver-era Manhattan. After a half decade of rejection, he suddenly won the Best Adaptation Oscar for 1978's Midnight Express.
But what Stone really wanted to do was direct. Yet his 1981 psychological horror movie The Hand bombed. And while his script for Conan the Barbarian was a nice payday, the final film was far more the work of John Milius.
So sitting for six months on the set of Scarface while director Brian De Palma slowly fiddled with making Stone's story was a frustrating but educational experience. When Scarface was finally released in 1983 to mixed reviews, critics such as Pauline Kael, who worshiped De Palma and therefore would not blame the director, slammed Stone's script. But I can recall sitting in the theater not expecting much out of Scarface, then wondering after the first thirty minutes, "Who wrote this freight train of a screenplay?"
Eventually, Scarface became a favorite of gangsters, rappers, and the Central American death-squad leaders he interviewed as background for Salvador.
The eventful filming of his low-budget epic Salvador takes up the largest chunk of his autobiography. Stone's starting idea for Salvador was lifted from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, except instead of Raoul Duke (James Woods) and Dr. Gonzo (Jim Belushi) driving from California to Nevada, they drive from California to El Salvador to report on the civil war. It's Stone's funniest movie (an earnest man, he doesn't normally have much of a sense of humor). His on-set battles in Mexico with Woods (playing lowlife war correspondent Richard Boyle) are the most vivid in his book.
Although Stone is insistent that Woods' character is based on Boyle, it's hard not to see Stone and Woods as doppelgängers, especially after Woods became an outspoken conservative following his August 2001 experience flying in first class from Boston to Los Angeles with what appeared to him to be four Arab terrorists on a practice run for what turned out to be 9/11.
So, after the endless conflicts between the two obnoxious alpha males during the chaotic filming, it's touching when Woods tells Stone at the end, "I want this to be the one they put on our gravestones."
Woods tweeted on Monday:
Though I am most certainly the "villain of the piece," I accept that role with glee, because his portrayal is truly funny and partly true!
The memoir's title of Chasing the Light comes from Stone's compulsion as a director to cram as much shooting as possible into the last two or three hours of daytime to maximize the number of shots with the ideal National Geographic-style low-angle sunlight. Stone's aesthetics aren't theoretically advanced: He likes beautiful images.
Was Stone a great visual director during his peak? Or did he make a great choice for cameraman on Salvador when he hired a young documentarian named Robert Richardson, who went on to be one of the all-time great cinematographers, later working for Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino?
Perhaps Stone's strong suit as a director was his willingness to cut his own screenplay on the fly in the field, ruthlessly eliminating his not-quite-necessary bits in order to shoot more pages of the script before the sun went down. This contributed to the energy of Stone's prime movies (well, that and the drugs). Liking to make decisions is why Stone has filmed so many movies about presidents: He can imagine himself in the role.
In contrast to Salvador, the shooting of Platoon that immediately followed in the Philippines went surprisingly smoothly, with little of the bungle in the jungle that beset Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now in the 1970s.
Platoon combined Stone's memories of his fifteen months in Vietnam, much of it in combat, with Homer: Tom Berenger's Sergeant Barnes represents the wrath of Achilles, Willem Dafoe's Sergeant Elias the humanity of Hector, and Charlie Sheen's Private Taylor the survival instincts of Odysseus.
Although Salvador had drawn mostly grudging reviews when it opened in New York in March 1986 (the poor orchestral score didn't help), the political climate had changed by the time Platoon premiered that December. This was largely due to Oliver North's Iran-Contra scandal in which PLO guns captured by the Israelis in Lebanon were sold to Iran to raise funds for anti-communist Nicaraguan rebels (I think I have that straight), which you have to admit sounds like the plot for an Oliver Stone movie. I called 1986 The Year of the Three Olivers for how often people talked about Oliver Stone, Oliver North, and Oliver Sacks, the literary doctor who wrote the best-seller The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat; and how frequently their names were confused.
With the Reagan administration seemingly on the brink of toppling, Stone was suddenly immensely respectable. Platoon won him Best Director and Best Picture, setting him off on a half-decade run as the philosopher-king of Hollywood, the bard of the baby boomers.
Everybody loved Platoon: According to Stone, even the Reagan White House screened Platoon four times.
But then the winds changed again. While Chasing the Light tells a seemingly happy story of a man on the way up, Stone's tale is shadowed by foreknowledge of his downfall, when the media that had been so supportive of him from Platoon onward suddenly turned on him en masse in early 1992.
Initially, Stone's JFK had opened to the usual acclaim in December 1991.
Of course, the plot for JFK was ridiculous, even by movie standards. Stone merged two contradictory conspiracy theories. Fletcher Prouty (Donald Sutherland) argued that the assassination of JFK was a vast, meticulously planned operation carried out by the omnipotent Deep State. Meanwhile, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) asserted that Kennedy had been murdered by some French Quarter flaming gay boys (including Joe Pesci in a tangerine toupee) who he'd long suspected were up to no good. Hence in Stone's telling, the entire military-industrial complex with its infinite resources had mobilized to…hire the homosexuals.
But the lightweights of the entertainment press weren't going to point out little problems like that in a prestigious Oliver Stone movie.
In the winter of 1992 JFK earned eight Oscar nominations, putting Stone on a path for a Frank Capra-like third Best Director trophy in six years. Then the heavyweights of the serious news media struck back; 1991 had been the annus mirabilis of Republican foreign policy, with the U.S. winning the Gulf War in February and the Soviet Union collapsing in August. The American empire was at its peak.
The prestige press, with its dependence upon Deep State sources, turned on Stone with a vengeance, denouncing him as a "conspiracy theorist." Today, after nearly three decades of the Establishment demonizing conspiracy theorizing, it's hard to remember that in the 1970s and 1980s dreaming up paranoid conspiracies had been considered rather cool.
In response to the endless criticism of his silly script for JFK, Stone came to adopt a just-the-facts policy of almost pedantic correctness. For example, in W, 95 percent of the dialogue is direct quotes of public, not private, statements by principals of the George W. Bush administration. This worked better than one might expect, but it's still a comedown from the inventive imagination of his early years.
The point of reading movie memoirs, however, is less to find out precisely what happened than to listen to the world's greatest storytellers recount their most polished anecdotes. Hollywood personal histories like John Huston's An Open Book and David Niven's Bring on the Empty Horses are better than the mere truth.
Stone's autobiography, in contrast, strikes me as scrupulously accurate (the only mistake I noticed was that he confuses the 1960s F-4 fighter jet with the 1970s F-16). But in ensuring his book is truthful, reasonable, and fair, Stone made it less entertaining than it could have been.

My mp3 player says it has no files on it but when i hook it up to the computer it says its full and need to erase some files. but it wont show that i have any files on my mp3 player. i went into my computer and right clicked on the sandisk icon and went to format and it still didn't help. its just not letting me add songs or anything.
I have two Centrios Digital Voice Recorders, both of which are full. I need to know how to erase the contents. I know there is a user manual for the product but have been unable to locate one online.
BE SURE NOT TO DELETE YOUR FIRWARE, ONLY THE SONGS,FILES,ETC.
To put songs on your mp3 player you need to install Windows Media Player on your computer, after you install it hook up your mp3 player to the computer and download your songs to the player.
Try my solution to your problem.
right click and then click on "Delete"
I would like to know how you can format the memory to eliminate everything. I have connected it to my computer and erased manually all the songs. But when i disconnect it, the songs are still there.
I've erased all songs but when i tried to download new ones, the mpg player is telling me that the disk is full and that i needed to erased some memory. how do i clear this problem?
You can do a reformat of your Sansa MP3 player. Hook up your mp3 player to your computer's usb port.

When i try to put music on it, it says that it is already full how do i erase what ever is on it.
If you have the cable to hook to a computer it will show up as an additional hard drive and you can delete files like any windows file.

Q: nodejs npm mysql return single row handle Im using node and npm mysql to do some database work.
Is there any way to avoid using the result[0] , if i know Im only going to receive a single row?
connection.query({
    sql: "SELECT spend FROM `account` WHERE `name` = ? order by date desc limit 1",
    values: [market.name]
    }, function (error, results, fields) {
        market.fee = results[0].age;
        resolve(market);
    });

A: You can also use array destructuring to unpack the first row from the results parameter:
const sql = "SELECT age FROM `account` WHERE `name` = ? order by date desc limit 1";

connection.query({ sql, values: [market.name] }, function (error, [account], fields) {
    market.fee = account.age;
    resolve(market);
});

Or go wild and throw some object destructuring into the mix:
const sql = "SELECT age FROM `account` WHERE `name` = ? order by date desc limit 1";

connection.query({ sql, values: [market.name] }, function (error, [{ age }], fields) {
    market.fee = age;
    resolve(market);
});

Another refactor, does the same thing but uses a concise body arrow function and spreads market into a new object which has fee, mapped in the input parameters [{ age: fee }].
connection.query(
  {
    sql: "SELECT age FROM `account` where `name` = ? order by date desc limit 1",
    values: [market.name]
  },
  (error, [{ age: fee }], fields) => resolve({ ...market, fee })
);

A: The callback function of connection.query returns three values out of which the second one, is the resultset of query and hence an array of values.
Therefore, you must use result[0] even if you are sure that the resultset would contain just a single record.
Moreover, its somewhat query's own specification that decides what kind of data is supposed to be returned. mysql's SELECT is made to work this way(though you can limit the records) unlike mongodb's db.collection.findOne() where the query itself know it'll always return a single record

Video continues to be one of the most powerful driving forces in today's marketing arena, equally essential for established businesses as well as startups. A recent study by Demand Metric determined that video content converts better than any other medium, yet only 15% of businesses are making use of it as part of their marketing strategy. In order to remain competitive in today's aggressive marketplace, it is essential that you incorporate video into your marketing strategy.
Here are five compelling reasons you need to use video marketing in order to remain competitive.
You know the power of the internet and work to harness it as your business's marketing message carrier. But are you using to greatest effect? By 2019, 80% of online traffic will include video, and video accounted for more than half of all mobile data usage in 2015. Marketers not incorporating video into their marketing plan will simply be left in the dust of those who do. And remaining mindful of your target market's mobile usage will help you incorporate video strategically.
Video marketing has changed from simple brand messaging to relationship marketing, from first contact through sales and followup. No longer is video simply an afterthought on a company's website. According to a recent report by Ascend2, video marketing is moving toward being the driving force behind true customer relationship building, starting with customer testimonials through product information and even interviews with thought leaders to help drive brand awareness and conversions.
Statistics show video CTR to be more than double that of any other marketing medium. Within limits, the shorter and more direct the video, the higher the engagement and conversion. With the rising popularity of video marketing, accurately measuring video ROI is becoming simpler to track as relationship marketing incorporates video at every level of engagement.
By November 2015, Facebook reported 8 billion average daily video views, and engagement with brand videos is growing exponentially and overtaking YouTube. To put that in perspective, there are 6 billion hours of video watched on YouTube every month, yet only 9% of small businesses actively use YouTube as part of their marketing strategy. By strategically using video on your website as well as on multiple social media platforms, you will solidify your brand's competitive position in the marketplace.
With video content at least 50 times more likely to show up on Google's first page of search, you can't afford not to use this powerful strategy in your marketing plan. However, compelling SEO is more than a few key words thrown in to your video title. 2016 brings integration of Google's algorithm update that, in part, ranks higher based on time visitors remain engaged on your site. Want to take full advantage of this new time ranking system? Keep your videos short, which will increase viewer retention to help increase your search ranking. More generally, Google's updated search algorithm means a greater emphasis on quality content – and video can be the ultimate measure that helps propel your site to page one of search.
