Does Corn Still Need Rescuing?
The 2015 Illinois corn crop continues to develop on schedule, with 75 percent of the crop having reached silking by July 19. But the crop condition rating continues its steady downward trend, with the good plus excellent percentage now at 55 percent, down from its high of 79 percent at the end of May, said a University of Illinois crop scientist.
"Virtually all of this decline is due to standing water, past or present," said Emerson Nafziger. "Rainfall frequency and amount has moderated some, but parts of western Illinois have received more than 6 inches so far in July."
Nafziger added that growing degree accumulations since May 1 are running close to average for the whole state. "With planting a little ahead of normal this year, we can expect the crop to reach maturity beginning in early September or even late August," he said.
Soil samples taken at tasseling at several sites from a nitrogen tracking project (funded by the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council) show that soil nitrogen levels have fallen considerably in recent weeks to levels at or below 50 lb nitrogen per acre in the top two feet of soil.
For the crop that is well past pollination, the number of kernels developing per ear is an indicator of maximum yield potential. According to Nafziger, crops with badly damaged root systems have, in most cases been showing pale or yellow leaves, death of lower leaves, and stunting, and either show no ears at all or have very low numbers of kernels.
"Their yield potential is low and can't be improved," he said.
In some cases, Nafziger said that the crop is only now starting to show loss of green color or yellowing, including lower leaf firing that may be moving up the plant. Some of this is occurring in parts of Illinois that have started to dry out where crops are expected to start recovering. This still seems to be occurring mostly in lower parts of fields, where water may have stood temporarily, perhaps several weeks ago, he noted.
"It seems logical to think that nitrogen deficiency developing now in fields where standing water hasn't been a big concern is due to loss of nitrogen finally showing up as the plant continues to take up nitrogen," Nafziger said. "There certainly might be some of that happening."
Another possibility, he added, is that limitations of the root system from earlier damage are only now showing up, especially as surface soils start to dry and roots start to draw water from a little deeper in the soil.
Can we know which is the case, and is there anything we can still do about it?
"Either of the situations might mean the crop could respond to nitrogen applied to the surface, as long as the nitrogen can get into the plant. Before spending the equivalent of about 10 bushels of corn to apply urea by air, though, it would be good to try to assess the yield potential and to try to figure out if the crop is in good enough condition with enough kernels to make a return on the investment likely," Nafziger said. "There's no sure indicator of the potential of the crop to respond, but as a start, it should have most leaves still intact and around 450 to 500 kernels developing per ear."
If a decision is made to apply more nitrogen to a field, the rate should be restricted to no more than 40-45 lb and the nitrogen should be applied as soon as possible, he added. "Protecting urea with Agrotain should help reduce volatility, but if urea stays on the surface long enough (without enough rain to move it into the soil), it is not going to get into the plant to do much good anyway."
Foliar nitrogen is another possible source of nitrogen. The lower rate of nitrogen applied (usually 10 lb per acre or less) might be enough to carry the crop until its roots can take up more nitrogen from the soil, Nafziger explained. "With any source, the idea is to keep deficiency from advancing. The amount of green leaf area is closely tied to grainfilling rate. Dribbling UAN could work, but getting it into tall corn without delay in fields with wet spots might be difficult."
Even if temporary nitrogen deficiency can be relieved by supplemental nitrogen applied this late, Nafziger added that nitrogen will not prove to be the most limiting factor in most fields. "Yield prospects will depend mostly on the ability of the root system to continue to take up water, and along with it some nitrogen, through the next month to 6 weeks," he said. "Some of the developing nitrogen deficiency that we are seeing now may be the result of root systems that are damaged more than we think. In that case, even moderate stress as surface soils dry out might send plants into a downward spiral.
"There's no good diagnostic for root system intactness, but pulling a few plants might provide a hint. If root systems seem small, shallow, or have darkened areas and dead root tips, the prognosis isn't great," he added.
"Things are looking better in parts of the state or fields where water hasn't stood recently and where roots are getting some oxygen. Aside from the downpours, the weather continues to be good, without high temperatures so far. More low-humidity days would help, but humid days with sunshine are still helping the crop," Nafziger said. "It's not 2014, when temperatures this time of year were well below normal. But kernel set should at least be normal in undamaged parts of fields. That means they have the potential for good yields at least."

Q: Moving sprite from point to point I want to move a sprite between two points.
first point is x=0 and y=0 and the second point is a point where the user touched the screen.
To move, I want to use an equation to go through the two points which is y=ax+b.
I have attempted this in the method move() but the sprite does not move.

Thank You!

A: You need  Bresenham's line algorithm to move your player.  You can even cut it short that you only need to calculate the next movement (not the whole line).  It's a simple/easy and low-calorie-algorithm.
You must adjust it to your needs.
public static ArrayList<Point> getLine(Point start, Point target) {
    ArrayList<Point> ret = new ArrayList<Point>();

    int x0 =  start.x;
    int y0 =  start.y;

    int x1 = target.x;
    int y1 = target.y;

    int sx = 0;
    int sy = 0;

    int dx =  Math.abs(x1-x0);
    sx = x0<x1 ? 1 : -1;
    int dy = -1*Math.abs(y1-y0);
    sy = y0<y1 ? 1 : -1;
    int err = dx+dy, e2; /* error value e_xy */

    for(;;){  /* loop */
        ret.add( new Point(x0,y0) );
        if (x0==x1 && y0==y1) break;
        e2 = 2*err;
        if (e2 >= dy) { err += dy; x0 += sx; } /* e_xy+e_x > 0 */
        if (e2 <= dx) { err += dx; y0 += sy; } /* e_xy+e_y < 0 */
    }

    return ret;
}

A: Here is an example of code I use to move an object between two points.
Math.atan2 calculates the theta angle (-pi to +pi) which is the trajectory the object needs to travel. Delta is the time between this this update and the last update and velocity is the desired speed of the object. These all need to be multiplied together and then added to the current position to get the new position.
@Override
protected void update(float delta) {
        double theta = Math.atan2(targetPos.y - pos.y, targetPos.x - pos.x);

        double valX = (delta * velocity) * Math.cos(theta);
        double valY = (delta * velocity) * Math.sin(theta);

        pos.x += valX;
        pos.y += valY;
}

Apple has been accused of hindering competition after telling an app development company its voice control app Evi is to be pulled from the app store for being 'confusingly similar' to Apple's own Siri.
Evi was approved for the app store on January 17, well after Siri was touted as one of the key additions in the launch of the new iPhone 4S last October.
However, Evi's publisher True Knowledge has told TechCrunch he received a call from Apple last week to say Evi is to be pulled from the app store, due to rule 8.3 in the app store Terms & Conditions which states that 'Apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product or advertising theme will be rejected'.
Evi and Siri both use voice recognition technology from Nuance, but Evi uses True Knowledge's own search engine.
Evi is also available on Android, and this version will of course be unaffected.
Customer ratings for Evi are not great – in New Zealand, reviewers say the app has trouble with the kiwi accent, while internationally users complain about constant server errors. The app costs $1.29 and is currently still available here.
Is Apple hindering competition, or just trying to squeeze out an underperforming app? Is voice recognition in its current state anything more than a gimmick anyway? Post your comments below.

ROCKPORT, Texas - Sunday marks six months since Hurricane Harvey swept through the Rockport area. Even though some began the rebuilding process immediately after the storm, not much has changed.
A week after Harvey hit, Chilton Moore and Magen Berry came back to nothing. Moore said they grabbed what the could and left, but returned to an uninhabitable apartment.
"It was a months process to tear it down," Moore said.
Moore and Berry have been living in a trailer on a friend's nearby property since then. Despite losing all of their belongings, they consider themselves among the lucky ones.
"It's sad that you lose all your stuff, but at least we didn't have to pick it up and we have somewhere to live," Berry said.
Moore does construction and was able to help rebuild his friend's home next to their trailer. And, working as a fence builder, Moore said there are now plenty jobs available.
The couple said they're hoping to move closer to town, but with the setback they faced following Hurricane Harvey, they're not sure when that will be possible.
"A lot of the apartments around here are destroyed or I wouldn't say low income," Berry said. "But, if you don't want to spend your whole paycheck on rent, there's nowhere to live."

With the declining number of priests available, many Catholic dioceses are investigating various ways of organising their parishes. The issue is similar to that faced by many denominations. Catholic parishes, however, have some issues not faced by some Protestant denominations in that priests have an irreplaceable role in celebrating the sacraments. Priests are central to parish life in the Catholic Church and there has not been a tradition of lay people as leaders of worship services. However, two case studies suggest that the patterns of leadership can change and may even strengthen parish life as they do so.
In February 2010, the Christian Research Association undertook a case study in the far west of Victoria. In 2006, Fr Andrew Hayes had been appointed to serve as the sole priest across what had once been four parishes: Coleraine, Casterton, Edenhope and Balmoral-Harrow-Tarryoukyan. The area for which Fr Andrew was responsible is more than 250 kms from one end to the other. It involved ten centres where Mass is said.
Fr Andrew's method of dealing with the task had been to focus on the roles that he alone could fulfil. He had worked out a timetable of Masses throughout the ten centres so that, in the major Mass centres, there was one Sunday and one week-day Mass each week. In this, Fr Andrew had the assistance of one retired priest. The Masses were supplemented by ten lay-led assemblies with six of the Mass centres holding one or two such services each month.
One of these areas was administration. Fr Andrew made it clear to the various parish committees that he could not attend all of their meetings and they would need to make decisions without him. There was a long tradition that the priest's approval was needed for any administrative decision, such as the repair of property or a special social evening for the church. Hence, some parish members were reluctant to take that responsibility.
Another area in which lay responsibility could be developed was in pastoral care. While the priest might be available for emergencies, his work needed to be supplemented by the pastoral care offered by others. Certainly much pastoral care occurs throughout rural areas through the natural bonds in small communities. However, between the emergency care provided by the priest and the natural care offered in rural communities, there was a need for something more structured, with people taking time of the lay people to lead them.
Not surprisingly, given the long tradition of emphasis on the centrality of the Mass in Catholic life, a number of people in the region had misgivings about lay-led Assemblies. Some would travel many kilometres every week in order to attend Mass, often far outside their local communities.

Captain Marvel's Website Teases Obscure Villain Annihilus, Here's What You Need to Know

The first bit of the URL Marvel initially sent out to guide people to Captain Marvel's webpage isn't a place you'd expect to find clues about the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, and yet it's something to take note of.
https://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/movies/captain-marvel/#multimedia
It appears to be a reference to the classic Marvel villain Annihilus, but his presence in the URL begs the question: Who the hell is Annihilus and why should anyone care?

Annihilus first appeared in Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four Annual #6 when Reed Richards, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm ventured into the Negative Zone in search of an element that's the key to saving the lives of Sue Storm and the baby she's delivering. As the de facto ruler of the Negative Zone, Annihilus sees the Fantastic Four's intrusion into his realm as a threat and launches an assault against them that, unsurprisingly, they're able to overcome.
From that point on, the insectoid villain became a frequent foe of the Fantastic Four and a number of Earth's other heroes, making multiple attempts at invading various dimensions. For the most part, Annihilus' attacks amount to the sort of inconveniences that Earth's mightiest heroes deal with on a regular basis, but the villain shows his true might in Marvel's Annihilation event that focuses on a number of cosmic heroes dealing with an invasion from the Negative Zone that's larger than anything they've seen before.
While most of Annihilus' previous attacks result in relatively minimal damage, in Annihilation, he's able to completely destroy the planet Xandar and the vast majority of the Nova Corps (you know, those folks from Guardians of the Galaxy). As the enormous fleet known as the Annihilation Wave makes it way across the galaxy, the threat it poses to the universe becomes so great that both the Kree and Skrull (soon to be seen in Captain Marvel) empires are forced to take action, along with many of Galactus' heralds, to stop it.
Ultimately, Annihilus is stopped by Richard Rider of the Nova Corps and the half-Kree, half-Titan Phyla-Vell after they get ahold of the Quantum Bands that are part of what make him so powerful. But the devastation left in his wake is something that can never be undone.

Annihilus' impact on the Kree, and Phyla-Vell's hand in his demise, make him the sort of villain that fits into the bit of world-building Captain Marvel is doing for the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, but at the same time, name-dropping him raises a number of questions about the future of Marvel's films. Because Annihilus' comics origins and canon involve the Fantastic Four, it would have been unlikely that he'd ever be mentioned in relation to the MCU (let alone make an appearance) up until very recently, but with Marvel's deal to buy back the rights to those characters from Fox, stories about Annihilus and people associated with him are very much back in play.
Captain Marvel, in a sense, embodies the future of the MCU – it's a bigger, more space-faring place populated by the kinds of villains whose plans for domination are universal rather than global. Carol and the Avengers are almost certainly going to wallop Thanos when Engame hits cinemas later this year, but Marvel Studios has every intention of continuing to make films, which means that eventually, there's going to have to be another Big Bad™ that brings all of the heroes together to save the day.
Judging from what we've seen about Captain Marvel, it's unlikely that Annihilus is due to make his big screen debut any time soon, but he's the kind of villain that might play a key role in the MCU for years to come.

Shoes maintenance
Strugar history
In 1967, exactly half a century ago, in Ilica 33rd passage in Zagreb, the story of the Strugar shoes production began.
Shoemaking master Alojz Strugar, after ten years of apprenticeship and the acquisition of knowledge and master's exam, opened his own business for making men's shoes.
He knew from the start that he wanted to produce shoes in the style of the latest trends in the world, although it was a rare case in Croatia at that time. He wanted to produce shoes which would also attract very young people, instead only making an old-fashioned models which were suitable only for the middle-aged and older people. It was a brave decision because at that time all the other shoemakers were producing classic shoes which they were producing for decades.
In order to follow fashion, new materials and processes in handmade shoes at the time when there were no Internet, fashion magazines or specialized press, he had to travel to learn about new fashion.
In the late 60's, the center of world fashion for clothing and footwear was Italy: Milan, Bologna, Florence, Padua. So the founder of the Strugar craft, mr. Alojz, traveled by train to Italy to the fashion Fair and decided to stay there for 8 days. Everyone asked him, why was he going there, and what would he do there for 8 days?
But when he returned with new models and new ideas that were fresh trends and than made the first samples – everyone went silent.
He still had only one motto: Do only men's shoes, shoes for young people, and in accordance with the latest trends. And it worked. Very quickly Strugar shoes won the symphaties of almost the whole showbiz of former Yugoslavia, so many opera singers, politicians started to order shoes.
Strugar Shoes became the synonym of quality made to measure and trendy shoes, and they still are theese days.
The 70's were marked by even greater progress and Strugar craft participated in every Zagreb Fair which was then the main exposure for the manufacturers and the window to the world.
As it was almost impossible to buy quality materials in Croatia, Strugar traveled to Italy to get them, aiming to make higher quality shoes. Strugar craft always made first steps in any kind of new ideas and novelties as far as shoes manufacture in Zagreb is concerned. It never copied others in Zagreb, but due to it's great ideas and quality, was often copied by the others.
Except of the elegant black evening shoes, another popular style which made a boom, were the so-called. "špagerice" - lightweight shoes made of natural string, and were produced in the way not only to suit for gentlemen but also for young people who liked casual and more relaxed style. In Zagreb in the end of the 60' and 70' domestic rock scene flourished, city halls were are filled with mega rock stars, Strugar craft has not forgotten the rockers. In the 70', leather boots with gently cut front part, with a metal buckle on the side were very popular. Almost every single rock bands wore them.
The 80' were marked by the growing number of orders so it became usual that customers stood outside in line in front of the salon. But it was unusual image by one, on a European scale small craft. Especially in the time of increasing imports and other global brands in our country. Despite that, the product remained high quality, instead of going for quantity, and oreders were rather refused if the shoes could not be made in the time deadline which some customers requested.
Despite years of war in Croatia in the first half of the 90' the craft was not in a crisis because loyal customers did not loose interest so easily, and an interesting fact is that Stugar made shoes for the guard of honor which were suitable with their ceremonial uniforms.
In the beginning of this century g. Neno Strugar continued to lead the craft, on the solid foundations of his father, with the same passion and quality craftsmanship where quality handmade prouduct is still a primary goal.
Today the trends are more complex and next to Italy's models, the guidelines are London, Paris and Vienna. Croatian capital city Zagreb is now full with foreign tourists and business people, and they are increasingly ordering shoes.
Although in these 50 years, a lot has changed seemingly - the essence remained the same:
"Fashion shoes custom-made, comfortable and durable, producted by top masters of shoe manufacture "

We knew they would be busy putting the finishing touches to their interiors for the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel (see W*196), but we had to ask: would Roman and Williams, the creative duo behind the wave of industrial-edged interiors that have taken over the world and the holders of a prestigious 2014 Cooper-Hewitt Museum Design Award, be so kind as to contribute to our Handmade project? They said they would.
Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer, who set up Roman and Williams (the studio is named after their grandfathers) in 2002, found inspiration for their contribution, a credenza, in the design principles of the American Arts and Crafts movement. We paired them with Olollo, a young Brooklyn-based studio with another intriguing name, this time based on its birthdate, 01/01/10. Founded by Regan Chen, it collaborates with creative visionaries to refine the aesthetics and fabrication techniques of their works. 'This hefty and challenging credenza demanded that we employ traditional craftsmanship while being mindful of the interaction between all the different elements,' says Chen.
The sideboard is made from sapele, a subtly grained African wood similar to mahogany, and features an open storage and display area, two side doors and removable shelves to accommodate a special curation of porcelain by Bavarian brand Nymphenburg. The credenza is completed with custom brass hardware, brass pulls from Roman and Williams' RW Atlas collection, and black leather-lined drawers that perfectly complement the delicate Nymphenburg tableware.

Q: Android/Java. Как добавлять / удалять фрагменты в Scrollview? Добавляю по клику на кнопкe фрагменты (new fragment) в scrollview.. Каждому фрагменту присваиваю тэг scrollview.getchildcount(), т.е. на единицу увеличиваю...
Но проблема в том, что, когда начинаю удалять в разброс фрагменты, то получается несоответствие: было 1234, удалил фрагмент с тэгом 2, и стало 134; но тройка теперь стоит на 2м индексе в scrollview getchildcount()!
Как можно поправить алгоритм, чтобы фрагменты добавлялись и удалялись нормально??

A: Проблема в том, что вы удаляете по индексу, а не по позиции. Когда вы добавляете фрагменты каждому из них присваивается свой индекс, они не будут изменяться, даже если вы их удаляете, т.е. Удаленик 2 из набора 1234 приведёт к 134, это норма, но изменятся позиции, были 1234, станет 123, где 2 с индексом 3, а 4 с индексом 3. Работайте с позициями и всё будет удаляться "Нормально".
Хотел ещё добавить, что, если ваши методы будут высоко нагружены, т.е. каждый фрагмент будет содержать большое количество данных, то ваша задумка может сильно нагрузить систему, в таком случае идеальным выходом будет использование ViewPager, в нём можно задать количество фрагментов одновременно загруженных в память, остальные же будут "Висеть" и подгрузяться, когда вы к ним будете адресовываться, также можете наследоваться от адаптера и написать свой адаптер и сделать список из фрагментов.
Почитайте этот урок: startandroid.ru/ru/uroki/vse-uroki-spiskom/… Там описано создание своего Adapter-а, так вот, чтобы реализовать удаление по нажатию на кнопку, вы можете в методе getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) добавить обработчик для вашей кнопки и по нажатию на эту кнопку сделать parent.removeView(convertView); Только не забудьте обновить список методом notifyDataSetChanger();

Breathtaking Van Cleef & Arpels jewels on view in Southeast Asia
Makis Necklace
Last October, French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels launched during the Biennale des Antiquaires Les Voyages Extraordinaires de Jules Verne, a new collection inspired by the celebrated science-fiction writer. Not all the pieces were ready though with many still under production. Some pieces that have just come out of production, plus some existing pieces that were showcased at the biannale are now on show in Singapore until August 15, before moving to Kuala Lumpur from August 19th.
The company selected four of Jules Verne's books – Five Weeks in a Balloon, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, and these fantastic adventures are the canvas for Van Cleef to show its artistics craftsmanship at its best.
There are some many wonderful examples it's hard to choose.
Here are my picks from "Five weeks in a Balloon"

From Italy with Love: A Look at the Collecting Path of the Maramotti Family
At 27, Hungarian artist Mona Osman is still at the early stage of her career and while the Royal College of Art student has had a solo exhibition at an artist-led contemporary gallery in London and was part of group show at Saatchi Gallery last year, perhaps her biggest break will come later this year: The young painter will have a solo exhibition at the Collezione Maramotti, one of Italy's top private art museums, which presents the ever-growing art collection of the family that founded the upmarket ready-to-wear company Max Mara.
"To have this opportunity is a huge honour and an amazing chance to expand and visually showcase my research," Osman says, adding her challenging project will compared the Bible to notions of existential philosophy.
Over recent years, the museum has increasingly been supporting young artists and each year gives three or four emerging or mid-career artists carte blanche to create works that will later form part of the museum's collection.

Interview: Erwin Wurm on his Humanoid Sculptures
Erwin Wurm likes to distort forms. Over the years, he has slimmed down houses, fattened up cars, and used his own body to redesign the shape of furniture. "A lot of my work is about destroying one thing to create another," the Austrian artist says of his process. One of his latest series, Stone, continues this exploration by setting small rocks on a pair of legs, giving a twist to the expression "carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders". The small humanoid sculptures recall the Hypnosis series Wurm created in 2008, when Wurm used potato-like shapes to form the torso and head of a body in a highly polished aluminium finish on top of legs, in a contrasting matte finish. In the Stone series, the shiny aluminium potato shape has been replaced by a rock covered in greenish moss. Each work has a distinct and expressive personality due to the treatment of the white acrylic resin legs (variously posed, either standing, running, barefoot, or dressed).

Singapore Art Scene 2.0: Can new art fairs help establish Singapore as a commercial art hub?
In January, the Singapore art scene received a shock to the system. Eight days before it was due to start, Art Stage Singapore, the city state's premier annual art fair and the anchor event of Singapore Art Week, was abruptly cancelled. Citing the "very difficult market situation in Singapore as well as unequal competition," Art Stage's President Lorenzo Rudolf pulled the plug, noting that while the fair had brought over 500 galleries to Singapore over the previous eight years, relatively few returned due to the lack of local sales.
An archetypal Singapore can-do spirit immediately swung into motion including a Facebook page set up by Plural Art Mag that helped galleries find alternative exhibition spaces while non-profit entity Art Outreach, with the support of various government agencies and the Marina Bay Sands (MBS), set up a pop-up event — at the MBS's exhibition space now abandoned by the fair — which brought together 14 galleries that had intended to show at Art Stage.

New research will examine how to protect our coasts in a sustainable way
Published 24 Aug 2021
Press release number PR-AGRI-21-94
Scientists at Cranfield University are working with partners at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), the University of Liverpool and St Andrews University to develop environmentally sustainable solutions for future coastal and shoreline management.
The £1.6 million UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)-funded Co-Opt project will develop new tools to allow better decisions to be made to both protect coasts from changing climate and help deliver net zero ambitions.
Coastal flooding was the second highest risk after pandemic flu on the UK government's risk register in 2017 and over 1.8 million homes are at risk of coastal flooding and erosion in England alone.
Protecting the coast by maintaining hard 'grey' defences against flooding and erosion such as traditional sea walls is not always cost-effective. Sustainable coastal management will require a broader range of actions, and greater use of softer 'green' solutions that work with nature, including the restoration of coastal habitats such as saltmarshes or vegetated dunes.
Dr Anil Graves, Senior Lecturer - Land Use Systems, Centre for Environmental and Agricultural Informatics, Cranfield University, said: "Cranfield is delighted to be part of the Co-Opt project and we are looking forward to working on this important topic with such a diverse research team. The project will apply ecological, economic, and social science methods to evaluate the benefits and responses associated with different coastal management options."
Dr Laurent Amoudry, Associate Head of Marine Physics and Ocean Climate at the National Oceanography Centre, said: "NOC will quantify the positive and negative environmental impacts of different management approaches under future climate scenarios. We are excited to work with coastal managers in England, Wales and Scotland, as well as international partners, to establish new tools to quantify social and economic values of approaches that work with nature. Our results will allow better decisions to be made that both protect our coasts from the changing climate and also help deliver other key objectives, such as net zero."
The overall aim of the Co-Opt project is to develop a new integrated, interdisciplinary system-based framework that will allow decision-makers to consider the full system context around coastal systems and how they interact and respond to different coastal management solutions.
Within the project, Cranfield University will focus on applying economic and social sciences to value ecosystem services under different scenarios and work with stakeholders to identify how people respond to grey and green approaches to coastal zone management.
The research will draw on the unique mix of expertise in Cranfield's Centre for Environmental and Agricultural Informatics team, covering economic modelling, land use systems, foresight and future planning, spatial analysis, and risk and resilience analysis.

Statewide, the case total hit 124,844, an increase of 384 cases since the day before. Because of a delay in reporting, new cases in Philadelphia County were not included and will be added to Tuesday's numbers.
About 79% of positive patients in the state have recovered.
There were no new deaths reported in the state, leaving the death toll at 7,468. York County's death toll remained at 105.
There have been 1,342,475 patients in the state who have tested negative for COVID-19, 41,361 of whom reside in York County.

The number of positive patients who are ages 19-24 has increased "significantly" recently, according to the Health Department.
Statewide, nearly 10% of all positive patients have fallen into that age group. In the South-Central region of the state, that demographic comprises nearly 12% of all cases, up from 5% in April.
It was not immediately clear whether county-level demographic data is available.
"An alert was sent to healthcare providers about the changing COVID-19 case demographics, as there are more cases in younger age groups than in those 50-64 and 65," according to a Monday news release.
The complete age breakdown of those who have tested positive in Pennsylvania is as follows, according to the state Health Department:
1% are ages 0-4
1% are ages 5-12
Nearly 4% are ages 13-18
Nearly 10% are ages 19-24
Nearly 24% are ages 65 or older
As of Monday morning, there were 21.7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, with 776,100 deaths linked to the virus, according to Johns Hopkins University.
About 5.4 million cases had been confirmed in the U.S. — with cases spiking in some states, particularly across the Sun Belt and in the West — and the death toll has hit 170,000.

The Type 75 Giant LED floor lamp is a striking, modern alternative to the Original 1227 light. Launched on the market in 2016 and created by the industrial designer Sir Kenneth Grange, who has been the Design Director at Anglepoise® since 2003, the floor lamp captivates people not only with a variety of adjustment options, but also with a very attractive look.
Whilst Grange's basic design has a timeless appearance, the well-known designer achieves a modern effect in Edition 1 with summer colours. A floor lamp which lends itself to being combined with a wide variety of interior design styles.
The Original 1227 Giant floor lamp is equipped with the convenient constant tension spring mechanism of the Anglepoise® work light which was developed in 1930 by the industrial designer George Carwardine. The springs in this mechanism imitate the action of the human arm muscles and thus provide the light with an incredible flexibility, making the floor lamp an indispensable companion for your everyday life.
Before working for Anglepoise®, Sir Kenneth Grange was already well known for designing everyday products such as cigarette lighters, razors, writing utensils and cameras for notable companies such as Wilkinson, Parker and Kodak. He was also responsible for the external design of the English InterCity 125 train.

Well, no one saw this one coming! Mike Sorrentino's best man at his wedding will be none other than Ronnie Ortiz-Magro! Out of all people, the Sitch chose the one 'Jersey Shore' star he's feuded the most with!
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, 36, is making plans for the future! Not only did he ask Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, 32, to be his best man at his wedding, but, he wants to be Ronnie's best man when and if the new dad ever gets married! The Jersey Shore stars were spotted chatting together on Wednesday night (October 31) at the Westin Governor Morris Hotel in Morristown, NJ. In the video below, you can clearly hear Mike talking to Ronnie about being his best man at his wedding. The Sitch then says he hopes the roles will be reversed one day.
Mike and his fiancee, Lauren Pesce, 33, arrived to the hotel in an SUV on Wednesday night, and headed straight to their room, TMZ reports. Ronnie was already there when the couple checked in. Sitch and Ronnie had their best man chat in the lobby of the hotel a few hours after he arrived with Lauren. It's interesting that Mike would choose Ronnie to his right hand man on his wedding day, seeing as the two have had a rocky past, as seen on Jersey Shore. However, it's clear these two have moved past their issues. The two are set to marry on Thursday, November 1. The rest of the Jersey Shore cast was not yet spotted at the Morristown hotel.
Mike took to Instagram on his wedding day with a sweet message for his bride-to-be, alongside a photo of the two kissing. "Today I marry my best friend , My College Sweetheart, My everything," Sitch wrote. "Together as a team we can accomplish anything. I am so grateful that you are by my side. I promise to be my best self everyday & make you proud to call yourself Mrs. Sorrentino. Love you with all my heart. Here's to our big day".
As promised, Sitch and Lauren will say "I do" before he heads to prison for tax evasion. Mike pleaded guilty to tax evasion in January, and could have faced a maximum of five years in prison. However, he was sentenced to eight months behind bars. His brother Marc Sorrentino, who also pleaded guilty to aiding in the preparation of a false and fraudulent tax return, was sentenced to 24 months in prison. They both attended a court hearing in early October in Newark NJ.
Mike and Lauren announced their engagement on social media on April 26. He popped the question in Miami with a 3-carat cushion cut diamond, set in an 18-karat rose gold and platinum setting, accented with pink diamonds, worth around $65,000.
The college sweethearts have been together for nearly a decade, and she stuck by his side as he battled prescription drug abuse, which led to two rehab stints over the years.

As a fan of new anything from Linkin Park, I'm happy, yet not surprised, to hear about their upcoming album, The Hunting Party. The new title, cover art, and release date (June 17th) are all revealed today on the heels of their 1st single featuring Rakim released last month. The cover, per usual with LP, is pretty badass and in the reveal/interview with Noisey, Mike Shinoda spills some details about the album's creative process. Here's an excerpt about working with Rakim.
Tell me about Rakim.
There were no shortcuts. When he wrote to the song, he told me it was going to take some time; it took like a week and a half. At a certain point he said, "I've got 16 bars, but I want more. Can we do 24?" And he drove out—he doesn't fly—from the East Coast to L.A., set up a couple shows on the way, canceled them, and then basically came out and recorded the song. He was still writing on it the weekend before he came in, and was even still editing it on paper. It's not on his phone, it's not on his laptop, he was sitting there at the dinner table of the studio still working it out.
Do you feel like you learned anything from him?
Any time we're in the studio with anybody, I try to see what I can learn from them. What I learned from his style was to appreciate the difference between writing in a free-form way—like guys like Jay Z and Kanye who freestyle and free-associate into the mic—and Rakim's the opposite. He spends a lot of time perfecting the verse. His verse is almost the rap equivalent of a shredding guitar solo, like you listen to it and you can't even tell the notes because it's so crazy. When you read the words you can follow along and see how the rhyme pattern and got built out. The rhyme pattern is constantly established and taken apart and re-established. That was the awakening—that form of writing is totally timeless. Even though it's a little complex and a little much for people in modern pop to digest, when you hear it done well it still resonates. There are people who do complex shit and it doesn't really hit you, because they're just doing it for the sake of being complex. But Rakim's verse is about hitting an emotional connection.
Do you still have the paper he wrote the verse on?
He took it with him. We couldn't even get a picture of it. He took it out, put it in his jacket, and left with it. I felt like that was part of his routine; like he would never leave that laying around. He probably has a folder of those, or he immediately goes home and burns them.

-All four #1 seeds are still alive and kicking. I ended up going 7-1 with my Sweet Sixteen picks, which puts me at 46-14 for the tournament so far. Out of my original bracket, I have six of the Elite Eight correct, including Davidson. UCLA and Memphis were the two teams that I had going out prior to now. Somehow, all of my Final Four are still alive. One of them is Xavier, though, who I'm not picking to win today.
-#3. XAVIER VS #1. UCLA (pick – UCLA). The guard play in this game is dead even, but UCLA just has a huge advantage in the post with Kevin Love. Xavier held on to beat West Virginia, but it seemed as though they struggled to score every time they went inside and didn't spread out the defense. They'll struggle even more underneath against a team that's as strong as UCLA. Xavier does have a chance, and there is reason to hope. UCLA has been winning, but some of the games have been struggles against teams that aren't as good as Xavier. Still, I believe UCLA's post play will be the difference.
-#3. LOUISVILLE VS #1. NORTH CAROLINA (pick – North Carolina). These are the two teams in the tournament that have impressed me the most. Right now, I'd have to say that the winner of this game would be my pick to win the national championship. Both teams have simply looked incredible in their first three tournament games. They haven't even been games, but rather exhibitions. Both teams will probably experience something today that they haven't experienced in the tournament yet, and that's a close game. Louisville is certainly capable of winning, but I can only pick one team and I just think UNC is a little bit better. Both teams do everything well. It's hard to point to a weakness for either team. Clash of the Titans. It should be a great basketball game.
-#2. TEXAS VS #1. MEMPHIS (pick – Texas). For the third straight year, Memphis is playing a team with a huge geographic advantage in the Regionals despite the fact that they have the better seed. I had Michigan State winning the other night and couldn't have been more wrong. Free-throws don't come into play when a team is up thirty at the half. If Memphis plays like that again they'll be in the Final Four. However, Texas was equally as impressive with a decisive win over a very good Stanford team. Texas has looked great for the past several weeks and I believe they'll get it done. Having said that, Texas is a great defensive team, but so was Michigan State and they did absolutely nothing to slow down the Tigers in the Sweet Sixteen game.
-#10. DAVIDSON VS #1. KANSAS (pick – Davidson). In my original bracket I had Davidson losing to Kansas in this game, but after seeing them the other night I believe Davidson is good enough to win, and will win. Kansas is outstanding. They've blown by virtually everyone they've faced up to this point, but I believe Davidson is better than anyone they've played despite not having the big brand name. Steffan Curry has been hands down the best player in the NCAA Tournament. I believe he steps up big once again and helps Davidson advance to the Final Four.

The Rise and Fall of Nokia 3310, the Funnest Phone Ever
How a team of Finnish twentysomethings created an iconic, indestructible device.
by Katherine Gillespie
28 November 2017, 2:36am
Illustration by Ben Thomson
Maybe it's crazy to get nostalgic for tech. After all, we're constantly replacing our suddenly obsolete devices with superior versions that are faster and cooler-looking and easier to use. This is particularly true of mobile phones—in 2017, it's difficult to function in the worlds of business or pleasure without owning one that came out of the factory within the past one or two years.
But even though my slightly cracked iPhone 6 is objectively better than any model I've owned before it, I do get a little misty eyed when it comes to the telecommunications trends of my early youth. The Motorola Razr comes to mind, as do any of those phones with the sliding QWERTY keyboards. The most special place in my heart, though, is reserved for Nokia's 3310: at once the smartphone's complete antithesis and most influential predecessor.
Released in September 2000, the 3310 swiftly achieved total world domination thanks to a melding of form and function that was nothing short of Jobsian. It was both nice to look at and fun to use, and offered a suite of quirky and useful new features its users had never even thought to ask for.
"It was my first baby," says Lone Tram Middleton, former Nokia 3310 Product Manager and, effectively, the phone's inventor. Middleton was in her early twenties when she was tasked with creating and launching the phone—plucked fresh from business school, it was actually her very first job out of university. Leading the phone's product development team of 40 people over two years, she signed off on Snake II and ringtone composer, chose the colourways for the phone's casing.
I've tracked her down on LinkedIn; she's long since left Nokia but has nothing but fond memories of her time there. "It's very close to my heart. I still remember when we had the launch, following the media write ups. It's probably a bit similar to being an artist or a singer—when things are first released you watch, because it's so personal," she says.
The 3310 was forecast to sell 20 million units, but ended up selling 126 million. To put that into perspective, the first iPhone sold 35 million. Even now, a decade after smartphones took over the market, six of the ten best selling mobile phones of all time are still those early Nokia models—the 3310 and its family members, with their interchangeable covers, in-built emoticons, amazing battery life (one recharge per week!), and near-indestructibility. In Finland, where Nokia was founded, its phones were once owned by 90 percent of citizens. In 2000, the telecommunications company was responsible for four percent of the country's entire GDP.
While the 3310 was actually slightly outsold by its immediate predecessor, the Nokia 3110 (the first Nokia phone with an internal antenna, beloved by yuppie business types of the late 1990s) its developers were far from disappointed. They believed, correctly, that their device had captured and revolutionised a brand new market.
"We had quite a specific target," Middleton explains. "We wanted it to feel more youthful than what Nokia had done before."
In this ambition, they were successful. The 3310 now possesses a nostalgic cultural value that similar devices do not. Some of its memey longevity is derived from that famous indestructibility, which places it at odds with today's fragile glass devices. More crucially, the 3310 was the first phone designed explicitly for twenty-somethings and teenagers. It kickstarted a revolution of rapid-fire SMS exchange, custom wallpapers and covers, and janky monophonic versions of your favourite songs.
Everything about the 3310 was fun. Each Nokia in development was given a nickname, and the friendly-looking and compact 3310 was christened "Beetle". Its iconic T9 keypad, which curved gently upwards to frame a small backlit display, was meant to subtly resemble a smiling face. Months of thought went into said keypad, Middleton says. It was explicitly designed for texting and painstakingly tuned to create the right amount of satisfying clickiness for its user as they thumbed out a message or arrowed through menu items. "It was the first time we had changeable covers front and back so you could really get the phone to look completely different, and we put a lot of focus on messaging because it was quite clear that was what young people wanted to do."
It's almost impossible now to imagine texting without being able to see your previous string of messages to the same recipient, but until the 3310 came along, threadless SMS was the norm. Nokia's official press release announcing the 3310's launch on September 1, 2000, spruiked a "unique chat function" as its biggest selling point. Nokia compared the feature to desktop instant messaging services like MSN and AIM that were becoming increasingly popular at the time. Not only did the 3310 invent texting as we know it, it also laid groundwork for the most fundamental millennial method of communication: the group chat.
Oddly, teens didn't quite catch on back in 2000. While the phone's other youth-centric features—the games, the ringtones, the wallpapers, the interchangeable covers—immediately proved a hit, nobody quite understood what "chat" was for.
"It just didn't pick up," recalls Henri Holm, the 3310's marketing manager. Like Middleton, he was instrumental in the phone's success—she developed it, and he sold it to the public. Holm remembers being blown away by the potential of chat, but rues that it was "way too advanced for its time."
How did a bunch of twentysomethings come up with the idea for texting as we know it? Most of the 3310 development team were in their mid-twenties, and just starting out in their careers. But the atmosphere at Nokia was exhilarating, Holm says. The company allowed its young employees a large amount of freedom to innovate.
"You could take risks there," says Holm. "We could put small interesting details into the product which may have not mattered to anyone else, but mattered a lot to us. But those features we were able to try out, like gaming and chat, became mainstream features later on."
Middleton's particular specialty was consumer insights—she's still working in this field today—and she led meticulous studies to discover what young mobile phone users wanted, and what they might want in the future. This was another of Nokia's strengths: an earnest commitment to predicting and riding trends.
"We commanded that knowledge as a mobile phone company," says Holm. "We did the research. You couldn't go and learn it from any other company—there was no one else who had that insight. You literally graduated from the school of Nokia, which was the school to graduate from, where later you could go into the other companies and claim your rightful position."
The Nokia 3310, hopelessly outdated as it is now, has a lesson to teach anyone in Silicon Valley. No matter how technologically advanced your product, it should respond to the needs of the customer first. "When you work with technology it's so easy to get carried away with its potential," Middleton explains. "While forgetting to make it relevant."
Nokia remained relevant for a good decade, during which its phones achieved total ubiquity. The company would build on the 3310's success with similarly popular phones that eventually integrated colour screens and cameras, and put a larger emphasis on multimedia. There was the Nokia 3300, which supported Mp3 audio, and the Nokia N-Gage—essentially a phone merged with a handheld gaming device. When Nokia ruled the market, it had no true competitor. And when Nokia left, its phones were still the best version of what they purported to be: devices for calling and texting. It's just that consumers were becoming aware of a new kind of device that could do more than that.
Somewhere along the line, Nokia's sense of fearless innovation disappeared. To make the inevitable comparison, Apple eventually let go of the iPod's clickwheel and, most recently, the iPhone's home button navigation system. But even when Nokia began, at the last minute, to produce smartphones, it clung to the same 3310-style interface that had forged its initial success.
"Phones are not phones anymore," says Holm wistfully. "They are life devices. Back then, if you wanted to talk to a person you'd have to dial their number. Now our phone numbers are just for ID."
As its market share in the West waned toward the end of the 2000s, the 3310's no-frills functionality still gave Nokia an edge in the developing world—where the phone's low price point, endless battery life, and durability were assets. But by the time the company was sold to Microsoft in late 2013, its reign was over. Nokia—which has a surprisingly long history dating back to 1865, when it was founded as a pulp mill and rubber manufacturer—was a shadow of its former self. Even a nostalgic attempt to reboot the 3310 this year with a colour screen and camera proved unsuccessful.
You can't blame them for trying, though. The 3310 was one of the first phones to feel addictive, but it was also one of the last to possess a benign innocence that feels far away now—it embodied the spirit of technology that existed to serve rather than enslave, that was designed to last for years rather than be regularly and expensively upgraded. Recall, for a moment, the rapture of holding a piece of cutting edge technology in your hand—but also being able to put it down again.

Q: Catalina 10.15 removing Spotlight icon from menu bar went wrong I've done csrutil disable and went into Terminal and put
cd /System/Library/CoreServices
sudo mv Search.bundle/ Search2.bundle/
I rebooted and it removed the Spotlight icon from the menu bar but I could no longer use command-R to open Spotlight. I tried undoing via
sudo mv Search2.bundle/ Search.bundle/
but it returns
mv: rename Search2.bundle/ to Search.bundle/: Read-only file system.
Rebooted but still no functioning Spotlight. What can I do?

A: Reinstall the OS from Recovery.
It should restore any missing or corrupt system files whilst leaving user data untouched.
