Analysis of Diabetes Apps to Assess Privacy-Related Permissions: Systematic Search of Apps
Mobile health has become a major vehicle of support for people living with diabetes. Accordingly, the availability of mobile apps for diabetes has been steadily increasing. Most of the previous reviews of diabetes apps have focused on the apps' features and their alignment with clinical guidelines. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the actual compliance of diabetes apps with privacy and data security guidelines.

Diabetes Distress and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes: Mediator and Moderator Analysis of a Peer Support Intervention
High levels of psychosocial distress are correlated with worse glycemic control as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c). Some interventions specifically targeting diabetes distress have been shown to lead to lower HbA1c values, but the underlying mechanisms mediating this improvement are unknown. In addition, while type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) disproportionately affects low-income racial and ethnic minority populations, it is unclear whether interventions targeting distress are differentially effective depending on participants' baseline characteristics.
Relationship Between Diabetes, Stress, and Self-Management to Inform Chronic Disease Product Development: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Technology is rapidly advancing our understanding of how people with diabetes mellitus experience stress.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring With Low-Carbohydrate Diet Coaching in Adults With Prediabetes: Mixed Methods Pilot Study
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is preventable; however, few patients with prediabetes participate in prevention programs. The use of user-friendly continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with low-carbohydrate diet coaching is a novel strategy to prevent T2DM.
Mobile Clinical Decision Support System for the Management of Diabetic Patients With Kidney Complications in UK Primary Care Settings: Mixed Methods Feasibility Study
Attempts to utilize eHealth in diabetes mellitus (DM) management have shown promising outcomes, mostly targeted at patients; however, few solutions have been designed for health care providers.
Diabetes Surveillance and Epidemiology
Secondary Impact of Social Media via Text Message Screening for Type 2 Diabetes Risk in Kuwait: Survey Study
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an international problem of alarming epidemic proportions. T2DM can develop due to multiple factors, and it usually begins with prediabetes. Fortunately, this disease can be prevented by following a healthy lifestyle. However, many health care systems fail to properly educate the public on disease prevention and to offer support in embracing behavioral interventions to prevent diabetes. SMS messaging has been combined with cost-effective ways to reach out to the population at risk for medical comorbidities. To our knowledge, the use of nationwide SMS messaging in the Middle East as a screening tool to identify individuals who might be at risk of developing T2DM has not been reported in the literature.
The Diabits App for Smartphone-Assisted Predictive Monitoring of Glycemia in Patients With Diabetes: Retrospective Observational Study
Diabetes mellitus, which causes dysregulation of blood glucose in humans, is a major public health challenge. Patients with diabetes must monitor their glycemic levels to keep them in a healthy range. This task is made easier by using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices and relaying their output to smartphone apps, thus providing users with real-time information on their glycemic fluctuations and possibly predicting future trends.
Social Media for Diabetes
Facebook as a Medium for the Support and Enhancement of Ambulatory Care for People With Diabetes: Qualitative Realist Evaluation of a Real-World Trial
There is a growing focus on the potential uses, benefits, and limitations of social media in the context of health care communication. In this study, we have sought to evaluate an initiative pioneered at a hospital in Denmark that uses Facebook to support and enhance patient-provider communication about diabetes.
Intervention Enhancement Strategies Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes in a Very Low–Carbohydrate Web-Based Program: Evaluating the Impact With a Randomized Trial
Adults with type 2 diabetes may experience health benefits, including glycemic control and weight loss, from following a very low–carbohydrate, ketogenic (VLC) diet. However, it is unclear which ancillary strategies may enhance these effects.
Patient Experiences with Diabetes Technology
Technology-Assisted Self-Monitoring of Lifestyle Behaviors and Health Indicators in Diabetes: Qualitative Study
Self-monitoring is key to successful behavior change in diabetes and obesity, and the use of traditional paper-based methods of self-monitoring may be time-consuming and burdensome.
Internet-Based Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes Through Healthy Habits: Design and 6-Month Usage Results of Randomized Controlled Trial
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented through lifestyle changes, but sustainable and scalable lifestyle interventions are still lacking. Habit-based approaches offer an opportunity to induce long-term behavior changes.
Health Coaching for Diabetes Patients
Evaluation of a Text Messaging Intervention to Support Self-Management of Diabetes During Pregnancy Among Low-Income, Minority Women: Qualitative Study
Given the growing burden of diabetes in underserved communities and the complexity of diabetes self-management during pregnancy, the development of interventions to support low-income pregnant women with diabetes is urgently needed.

Back in 2012, E Ink Corporation filed a lawsuit against Trekstor, an ebook reader distributor based in Germany, for selling various ereaders that used epaper panels from a Chinese contract company, OED Technologies, that supposedly infringed on E Ink's patents for electronic ink.
It's was an interesting case because E Ink Corporation is pretty much a monopoly when it comes to electronic paper displays. They have virtually no competition, and with lawsuits like this one they were hoping to keep it that way.
However, the German Federal Patent Court has ruled in favor of Trekstor.
The full details of the ruling haven't been released yet, but according to the initial explanation by the Federal Patent Court E Ink's patent relating to "electronically addressable microencapsulated ink" has been partially annulled.
It's hard to tell what kind of impact the ruling will have on the epaper industry as a whole. But it's possible that we could start seeing more alternative epaper displays coming on the market in the future. Ultimately that could be a good thing for consumers if it creates a more competitive and innovative industry.
I reviewed the Trekstor Pyrus Mini back in 2013 and it used one of the alternate epaper screens from OED Tech. The screen was so similar to E Ink's screens that you wouldn't know the difference if someone didn't point it out. The overall quality of the screen wasn't quite as good as E Ink, but it wasn't very far off either.
It seems like the epaper screens from OED Tech haven't been used very much lately, probably because companies don't want E Ink coming after them with lawsuits, but now it will be interesting to see where OED Tech goes from here, if they continue to develop their epaper technology further, and if we start to see more ebook readers using their displays.

Q: PostGIS - "parse error - invalid geometry" after using ST_Multi - but ST_IsValid returns true I have a database with OpenStreetMap polygons, points and relations in separate tables. Now I wanted to build selection queries for the different features and created schemas for each zoom level (5k, 10k, 20k and so on). However, I'm unable to insert multipolygons into the "landuse_background" table, even though the geometry column is configured for multipolygons:
CREATE SCHEMA "5k";
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis WITH SCHEMA "5k";
CREATE TABLE "5k"."landuse_background" (
    "id" BIGINT NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY,
    "geom" geometry(MULTIPOLYGON, 4326) NOT NULL,
    "name" TEXT
);

As a test, I wanted to insert every polygon as a multipolygon (so that I can later on combine them):
INSERT INTO "5k"."landuse_background" (
    SELECT osm_id as id, name, ST_Multi(geom)
    FROM "public"."osm_polygon"
    GROUP BY osm_id
);

However, I get the error:
ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry

If I only execute the "select" part of my query, I get valid polygons:
SELECT
    osm_id as id,
    name,
    ST_AsText(ST_Multi(geom)) as geom,
    ST_IsValidReason(ST_Multi(geom)) as is_valid
FROM public.osm_polygon
GROUP BY osm_id;

I get valid geometry:
8023823         "Schlossgarten"             "MULTIPOLYGON(((8.3999983 49.0136811,8.3999971 49.0136871,8.4000414 49.0136908, (...))))"   "Valid Geometry"
8085105         "Alter Flugplatz"           "MULTIPOLYGON(((8.3824917 49.0242842,8.3820936 49.0217043,8.3821084 49.0216129, (...))))"   "Valid Geometry"
19782878        "Hermann-Ehlers-Kolleg"     "MULTIPOLYGON(((8.3971125 49.0156717,8.3971956 49.015771,8.3971811 49.0157767, (...))))"    "Valid Geometry"
20909486        "Augustin-Bea-Haus"         "MULTIPOLYGON(((8.3958855 49.0162626,8.3958992 49.0162606,8.3958896 49.0162402, (...))))"   "Valid Geometry"
20911412        "Reinhold-Schneider-Haus"   "MULTIPOLYGON(((8.3965158 49.0161899,8.396547 49.016189,8.3965608 49.0162083, (...))))"     "Valid Geometry"
23138236        "Domus 7"                   "MULTIPOLYGON(((8.3952316 49.0161717,8.3952569 49.016172,8.3952871 49.0161686, (...))))"    "Valid Geometry"

ALL geometries are valid, selecting invalid polygons returns zero rows.
So I thought, it might be an issue with the CREATE TABLE statement and checked the column types of the landuse_background table:
SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_schema = '5k'
AND table_name   = 'landuse_background';

table_schema    table_name              column_name     data_type       udt_schema     udt_name

"5k"            "landuse_background"    "id"            "bigint"        "pg_catalog"   "int8"
"5k"            "landuse_background"    "geom"          "USER-DEFINED"  "public"       "geometry"
"5k"            "landuse_background"    "name"          "text"          "pg_catalog"   "text"

The only noticable thing is that the geom column has a data type of USER-DEFINED instead of the expected MultiPolygon. I've tried several identifiers in the CREATE TABLE statement, such as MultiPolygon, MULTIPOLYGON, "MultiPolygon", but none seem to work.
I've already looked at the similar answers

*

*PostGIS Update parse error – invalid geometry

*ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry (Postgis)

*parse error - invalid geometry even though ST_ISVALID returns true
... but they don't match my problem.
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.6, PostGIS version: 2.3.1 r15264

A: The error was that the column order in the SELECT query was mixed, it has to be SELECT id, geom, name, not SELECT id, name, geom. Thanks to @ThingumaBob for the solution.

I would like to receive occasional information and updates from Poly Pottery Silent Auction and jumblebee.
Welcome to our charity art and ceramics auction of work from well known Cornish artists and ceramicists like John Howard, Paula Downing, Tim Lake, Michel Francois, Jane Smith, Sue Davis, Dot Serle, Karl Owen, Peter Webster and lots more.
The Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society has had its home in our iconic building in the heart of Falmouth since 1836. We have been at the centre of many innovations and remain true to our original purpose - the pursuit of the inventive arts.
Why are we holding this auction?
We are in the process of setting up Falmouth's Community Pottery here at The Poly.
The pottery will offer studio space for 5 Potters, a kiln firing service, community courses, and pottery tuition.We have the building, kilns, wheels, equipment, pottery manager, but no electric supply so this final £3,500 is to bring power to the pottery and help continue the Falmouth ceramics tradition.
Any art that does not reach its reserve will be returned to the artist.
Postage and packing extra by arrangement with the Poly Guild and Galleries Manager.
Descriptions of work are as accurate as possible and we have listed artist and maker websites for you to discover more about the artists.
Shoreline by Dot Searle. Oil on Card.
Oil on card, framed in a white birch frame.
Dot completed her BA (Hons) at Falmouth College of Art in 1992. On a postgraduate trip to Cyprus in 1994 her interest came alive in the viewing of walls, textures and topographical spaces which left her with impressions of fading murals in sacred places such as churches and monasteries.
'Since then I have used painting and sculpture as a personal commentary on life' as the ravages of time and human conflict come together in her pieces of work.
Stunning porcelain wine carafe by Michel Francois.
Michel graduated from Falmouth University in 2002, then was an artist in residence at the Leach Pottery, St Ives. Following from this, he set up his own studio outside Helston.
Recent projects include co-designing and producing a new range of tableware for the Eden project. This was facilitated with the aid of a research grant from AIR (Academy of Innovation and Research).
His work has been shown in Paris (Gallery Art Présent), London (Gallery 43 Mayfair), Edinburgh and Taipei (International Teabowl Exhibition).
I make a variety of forms, ranging from vases and lidded containers to drinking cups and pouring bowls. All work is stoneware and is thrown and turned on a slow turning kick wheel and fired to between 1280°C–1300°C in a gas kiln.
Image Size 30cm x 30cm; Framed 40cm x 40cm Framed in white metal frame and signed and numbered on the reverse of print.
Part of a series of hand pulled screen-prints based upon algae, ferns, seeds and lichen that abound in Cornwall.
From Jane Howard an exquisite oil on boxed panel.
My Landscapes and seascapes are influenced by the local environment here in Cornwall. I like to go walking and make sketches in pencil and charcoal and sometimes in watercolour. I'm drawn to the unusual and challenging aspects of the Cornish landscape, the energy and dynamics it has. I take the sketches back to the studio to work from. I've recently been working on some large Indian ink paintings using the sketches as a guide/inspiration and I hope to develop these further into oil paintings.
A beautiful necklace from a local jewellery designer. The unusual hex and prehnite design sits on a 20 inch chain.
My current work has been inspired by the research I was doing in the old clay pits around St Austell last year. I collected China clay samples along with various plants, feathers, dried dead moss and manmade materials such as wire and waste materials found on walks in and around Blackpool pit.
I blended the China clay collected into a porcelain and produced a limited range of small thrown vessels on the wheel. They were then highly burnished to produce a glass like surface.
Three were sagger fired using dried moss, grasses and heather. Giving beautiful subtle greys and blacks, with a pink and orange hues.
The second batch were treated with Ferric Chloride and fired using heather,feathers and moss. Creating a surface which is unique each time, in reds and tones of grey and black. The shadows of the heather flowers, feather and moss are clear on the surfaces creating an interesting range of patterning.
The materials and processes I use are really important and relate back to growing up in the Midlands with the surrounding influence of industry and making.
A key element of my work emphasises the importance of balance and harmony, both aesthetically and physically and I enjoy combining the materials and techniques of glass and ceramics to create pieces that emphasise the importance of this balance.
My work is now heavily influenced by the dynamic landscape of Cornwall and my passion for the patterns formed in the natural and man-made environment.

Claire lives and works in Falmouth. She is a photographic artist inspired by Cornwall's natural beauty and traditional industries.
This limited edition work is from a series called "Beach Figures" created using a photographic technique called Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) where the camera is intentionally moved as the shutter is released to create blurs, layers and textures in the final image. The image was captured at Poldhu on the Lizard in Cornwall in July 2017.
Mixed Media on canvas. Narrow white frame.
Size: 32cm x 24cm Framed in black birch.
John was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) in 1995 and a Member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) in 1996.
John runs the John Howard Print Studio in Penryn and teaches at University College Falmouth.
John's early work drew heavily on his experiences in industry, with a series of prints and drawings based on his work in Birmingham and Black Country foundries, evoking the dramatic lighting effects created by blast furnaces in the dark and sombre interiors.
His work then focused on architectural themes, exploring relationships between space, structure and light, both internal and external.
Since moving to Cornwall John has been able to develop his interest in discovering unusual and different perspectives on the natural environment. His particular expertise is in exploiting the qualities of light and experimenting with form and structure, both natural and man-made.
A chance to own a piece of highly collectable, limited edition ceramics from Karl Owen (only 20 pieces in the collection.
This piece is Ferric Chloride and was fired in heather and moss.
Karl's current work has been inspired by research he in the old clay pits around St Austell last year.After collecting china clay samples along with various plants, feathers, dried dead moss and manmade materials such as wire and waste materials found on walks in and around Blackpool pit he blended the China clay into a porcelain and produced a limited range of small thrown vessels on the wheel. They were then highly burnished to produce a glass like surface.

John runs the John Howard Print Studios in Penryn in an iconic eco-building, offering courses, workshops and open access to other printmakers and is a lecturer at Falmouth University.
Tregony Tree, by Amy Cooper. Porcelain.
Slipcast and sandblasted porcelain tea light holder or vase.
An atmospheric painting by Vicki Clark.
This is a stunning original print by local artist Felix Packer.
Felix is a craftsman and artist who works from his studio in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. You can find his work dotted across Cornwall and further afield, from the Eden Project to the homes of art lovers nationwide and beyond. Felix specialises in wood and lino cuts, with prints ranging from 10 x 10cm to 1.6 x 2 metres.
He also works in a variety of other media such as pen&ink, acrylic, oil, gouache and mixed media. He is also becoming well known for his sculptures in wood and beautiful mosaics. After many years of carving furniture and sculpting in wood, he now attracts commissions for larger works in both private and public settings.
I make contemporary maritime art, combining the process of photo silkscreen with painting and found materials taken from the landscape, notably my walks along the Peryn river. The boats included in the constructed paintings often resemble traditional working boats as I try to connect some historical context with a more modern practice.
Mixed Media work on Canvas by renowned local artist Sue Davis.
I have made a conscious decision to work on abstraction as it releases me from considerations of myth, history, politics, aesthetics, morality, religion or recognition. It is my belief that abstraction comes from the subconscious mind which is fuelled by the events and visions of the day.
Visual awareness is important but it is the dessicated fragments of light when it touches a surface - translucent, moving or static that is of interest, not how it forms an object. To think in this detached way opens new vistas of speculation and this is the reason I work experimentally with mixed media. The outcome of different materials can be unexpected and unpredictable. Experience with this manipulation, coupled with ones sensitivity which is gained over time, enables balanced decisions about the images.
Phase 5 by Peter Webster. Pencil and Ink.
Graphite and ink on archival paper.
Original drawing , float mounted and framed in a white birch frame.
Part of a series of 5 works exhibited in the RWA exhibition in 2009, and donated by the artists from his personal collection.

Concerning 'The Science of Art': Commentary on Ramachandran and Hirstein.E. H. Gombrich - 2000 - Journal of Consciousness Studies 7 (8-9):8-9.details
To the historian of art, it is evident that the two authors' notion of 'art' is of very recent date, and not shared by everybody. They claim: 'The purpose of art, surely, is not merely to depict or represent reality -- for that can be accomplished very easily with a camera -- but to enhance, transcend, or even to distort reality' . They do not explain how one could photograph Paradise or Hell, the Creation of the World, the Passion of (...) Christ, or the escapades of the ancient gods -- all subjects that can be found represented in our museums. Nor is it more legitimate to generalize from certain Indian conventions of representing the female nude than it is for the academic tradition to take the Venus de Medici for the same purpose. Even a fleeting visit to one of the great museums might serve to convince the authors that few of the exhibits conform to the laws of art they postulate. [followed by response from V.S. Ramachandran]. (shrink)

Art, Perception, and Reality. [REVIEW]A. F. W., J. Hochberg & E. H. Gombrich - 1973 - Review of Metaphysics 26 (3):525-526.details
This book contains three essays: "The Mask and the Face: The Perception of Physiognomic Likeness in Life and Art" by Gombrich, the renowned art historian and critic; "The Representation of Things and People" by psychologist, Julian Hochberg; and "How Do Pictures Represent" by philosopher, Max Black. The book is based upon lectures delivered in the Johns Hopkins 1970 Thalheimer Lectures, where, taking off from the question "how there can be an underlying identity in the manifold and changing facial expression of (...) a single individual," there is an interdisciplinary attempt at clarifying the problem of representation. Gombrich's central thesis is that the key to artistic representation is empathy and projection, which is guided by the interlocking display of the permanent and mobile features of the object represented. Perceptual activity and empathy rely more on the muscular imitation than on passive visual reception. He holds that what is singled out as the likeness-factor uniting the permanent and mobile features in, for example, the photograph of the four-year old Lord Russell and such factors in the ninety-year old Russell is the "general tonus, the melody of transition from given ranges of relaxations to forms of tenseness." Hochberg's essay spells out the position that perception is purposive behavior, wherein the purpose is the information sought and behavior is the "succession of glances in different directions." Holding that perceptual activity is grounded in expectations, he lays aside Gombrich's muscularity-thesis in favor of a learned expectation of feature characteristics. Black's essay is a conceptual analysis of "depiction," or more precisely, of "P displays a subject S if and only if R, where R 'will constitute the necessary and sufficient condition for P displaying S'." The essay, which proceeds in a Wittgensteinian Investigations-type fashion ends where the reader would hope it begin. He concludes that the problem can only be adequately answered by moving from logical investigation to the world of the artisan and art lover. To arrive at this conclusion he debunks six candidates that claim to meet the depiction conditions: causal history, selective information, intention, mimesis, resemblance, and "looking-like." At best, depiction may be considered a "cluster" concept of all six. Further determination, he holds, requires knowledge of the purpose of a particular depiction, and this takes us out of logic and into art; and so Black stops, unfortunately.—W. A. F. (shrink)

I hope you will agree, however, that the purpose of the museum should ultimately be to teach the difference between pencils and works of art. What I have called the shrine was set up and visited by people who thought that they knew this difference. You approached the exhibits with an almost religious awe, an awe which certainly was sometimes misplaced but which secured concentration. Our egalitarian age wants to take the awe out of the museum. It should be a (...) friendly place, welcoming to everyone. Of course it should be. Nobody should feel afraid to enter it or for that matter be kept away by his inability to pay. But as far as I can see the real psychological problem here is how to lift the burden of fear, which is the fear of the outsider who feels he does not belong, without also killing what for want of a better word I must still call respect. Such respect seems to me inseparable from the thrill of genuine admiration which belongs to our enjoyment of art. This admiration is a precious heritage which is in danger of being killed with kindness. E. H. Gombrich was director of the Warburg Institute and Professor of the History of the Classical Tradition at the University of London from 1959 to 1976.

"They Were All Human Beings: So Much Is Plain": Reflections on Cultural Relativism in the Humanities.E. H. Gombrich - 1987 - Critical Inquiry 13 (4):686-699.details
In the fourth section of Goethe's Zahme Xenien we find the quatrain from which I have taken the theme of such an old and new controversy, which, as I hope, concerns both Germanic studies and the other humanities: "What was it that kept you from us so apart?" I always read Plutarch again and again. "And what was the lesson he did impart?" "They were all human beings—so much is plain."1 In the very years when Goethe wrote these lines, that (...) is in the 1820s, Hegel repeatedly gave his lectures on the philosophy of history. Right at the beginning he formulated the opposite view which I should like briefly to characterize as "cultural relativism."Every age has such peculiar circumstances, such individual conditions that it must be interpreted, and can only be interpreted, by reference to itself…. Nothing is shallower in this respect than the frequent appeal to Greek and Roman example which so often occurred among the French at the time of their Revolution. Nothing could be more different than the nature of these peoples and the nature of our own times.2 What is at issue here is not, of course, Hegel's assertion that ages and peoples differ from each other. We all know that, and Goethe, the attentive reader and traveler, also knew, for instance, that the Roman carnival differed in its character from the celebrations of the Feast of Saint Rochus at Bingen, both of which he had described so lovingly. What makes the cultural historian into a cultural relativist is only the conclusion which we saw Hegel draw, that cultures and styles of life are not only different but wholly incommensurable, in other words that it is absurd to compare the peoples of a region or an age with human beings of other zones because there is no common denominator that would justify us in doing so. 1.

I have stressed here and elsewhere that perspective cannot and need not claim to represent the world "as we see it." The perceptual constancies which make us underrate the degree of objective diminutions with distance, it turns out, constitute only one of the factors refuting this claim. The selectivity of vision can now be seen to be another. There are many ways of "seeing the world," but obviously the claim would have to relate to the "snapshot vision" of the stationary (...) single eye. To ask, as it has so often been asked, whether this eye sees the world in the form of a hollow sphere or of a projection plane makes little sense, for it sees neither. The one point in focus can hardly be said to be either curved or flat, and the remainder of the field of vision is too indistinct to permit a decision. True, we can shift the point of focus at will, but in doing so we lose the previous perception, and all that remains is its memory. Can we, and do we, compare the exact extension of these changing percepts in scanning a row of columns extended at right angles from the central line of vision—to mention the most recalcitrant of the posers of perspectival theory?1 I very much doubt it. The question refers to the convenient choice of projection planes, not to the experience of vision.· 1. I now prefer this formulation to my somewhat laboured discussion in Art and Illusion, chap. 8, sec. 4.E.H.

Martin Heidegger in Continental Philosophy
Representation and Misrepresentation.E. H. Gombrich - 1984 - Critical Inquiry 11 (2):195.details
It is a thankless task to have to reply to Professor Murray Krieger's "Retrospective." Qui s'excuse, s'accuse, and since I cannot ask my readers to embark on their own retrospective of my writings and test them for consistency, I have little chance of restoring my reputation in their eyes. Hence I would have been happier to leave Professor Krieger to his agonizing, if he did not present himself the "spokesman" for a significant body of theorists who appear to have acclaimed (...) my book on Art and Illusion without ever having read it. The followers of this school of criticism—of which Professor Krieger is a prominent member—had apparently convinced themselves that the book lent support to an aesthetics in which the notions of reality and of nature had no place. They thought that I had subverted the old idea of mimesis and that all that remained were different systems of conventional signs which were made to stand for an unknowable reality. True, professor Krieger admits that I never endorsed such an interpretation of my views, and he even concedes that there are passages in Art and Illusion which contradict such an out-and-out relativism, but he wants to convince his readers that these contradictions lead precisely to the ambiguities he now proposes to analyse.If he were right that the book encourages such a misreading, all I could do would be to express my regrets for having failed to make myself sufficiently clear. Luckily I can draw comfort from the fact that unlike these literary critics, the leading archaeologist of this country, Professor Stuart Piggott, had no difficulty at all in discerning my meaning and profiting from my arguments. In his Walter Neurath Memorial Lecture of 1978, entitled Antiquity Depicted: Aspects of Archaeological Illustration, the author did me the honour of taking a statement from my book as his starting point. It is the passage at the end of part I in which I recapitulate the content of the first two chapters:What matters to us is that the correct portrait, like the useful map, is an end product on a long road through schema and correction. It is not a faithful record of a visual experience but the faithful construction of a relational mode.Neither the subjectivity of vision nor the sway of conventions need lead us to deny that such a model can be constructed to any required degree of accuracy. What is decisive here is clearly the word "required." The form of a representation cannot be divorced from its purpose and the requirements of the society in which the given visual language gains currency.1 1. E. H.

Red River Valley – 3-string Open G GDG – Tablature for Cigar Box Guitars
Red River Valley is one of the top cowboy songs of all time, and also one of the first songs learned by any aspiring guitar player who went through the classic Mel Bay Guitar Method Volume 1 instruction book. More info about the song can be found in the Wiki article here.
This version of it has been arranged and tabbed by Glenn Watt. Glenn gives us three versions of the song – the basic melody line, and then the tabbed version with the chords, and finally a "double stop" version that provides an interesting take on a two-part harmony.
You can view the printable tablature sheets by clicking on the link or images below. You can also watch the video below where Glenn shows you how he plays (and sings!) the song on his 3-string cigar box guitar tuned to Open G "GDG".

Richard Johnston
Musical style: Hill country blues
Handmade instruments played: Cigar box guitar, Lowebow
As a ten year old boy Richard Johnston was given his first six string guitar. The gift, being strung with only four strings, presented Richard with his first taste of playing droning notes, something that later in life re-emerged in his style of hill country blues.
Richard was introduced to the open G tuning and playing style of Robert Johnson while in university in southern California. He was smitten and incorporated what he heard into his own guitar playing. Richard continued his education in Japan for a spell, playing his Robert Johnson influenced blues guitar at a local watering hole.
His passion for playing slide guitar stuck with him and he stayed in Japan, eventually finding a regular paying gig. That gig got him noticed by a writer from Memphis, TN who encouraged Richard to come back to the States to play his first blues festival in Memphis.
There Richard found and fell in love with Beale Street. With that Richard moved to the Music City where he found a living busking. Busking in Memphis put Richard in close proximity to the north Mississippi hill country blues with its driving drones that would ultimately shape his playing style.
Memphis also put him close to John Lowe. John was making unique handmade instruments and selling them in his Memphis store. After playing a couple of his instruments, Richard asked John make a custom cigar box guitar. This eventually turned into a creative collaboration that produced the storied Lowebow.
By this time, Richard had become accustomed to playing percussion with his feet while busking. He took the double stick-necked cigar box guitar that Lowe had made and won first place in the 2001 International Blues Challenge along with the Albert King Guitar Award.
Richard has gone on to play his foot-stomping brand of hill country blues in 13 different countries at some of the biggest music festivals in the world. Along with establishing himself as a soulful singing one man band Richard has also been the impetus for an instrument that helped to change the way music on the cigar box guitar is played.

Rod Piezo Primer
When looking at the use of piezo elements as pickups in acoustic instruments, and specifically in cigar box guitars, there are two main types that get used – disk-style piezos, and rod-style piezos
While disk piezos are perhaps more prevalent, because they tend to be cheaper and easier to find, many builders feel that the rod-style piezos offer superior sound and tonal quality. This article delves into the differences between disk and rod-style piezos, and takes a close look at how rod piezos are put together.
Don't forget that you can find all sorts of great rod and disk piezos in various sizes and configurations (and at great prices!) over at C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply.
First, a little bit of piezo basics. Piezoelectric elements, whatever the type, are based around layered ceramic wafers and conductive metal. Continue reading "Rod Piezo Primer"

The best books on art and creativity
By Cat Bennett
I've been an artist all my life. In childhood, I was always drawing and after graduating from university I became an illustrator doing hundreds of drawings for major newspapers and publishers in the United States for over 25 years. It was my mission, no matter what was going on in the world, to find some humor and lightness to share through my drawings. About 15 years ago, I also began to teach drawing to adults and was amazed to discover that everyone can draw. When I saw how people seemed to become happier and bolder making art I became passionate about sharing how we can grow our creativity by developing an art practice. It makes for a beautiful life and quite possibly a more beautiful world.
The Confident Creative: Drawing to Free the Hand and Mind
The simple act of drawing can connect us with our true creative selves and this book shows how. Everyone can draw and use drawing as both a means to make art and a way to explore creative ideas. The book shows how to deepen our focus in a yogic way by immersing ourselves in the moment and letting everything else fall away. In this place we find inspiration. The book encourages us to take chances, observe the world and our work with clear eyes, stay open and respond to inspiration when it comes. And just be who we are as artists. It also looks at how by going to the edge of our abilities and mindset we grow our ideas and creative confidence. The book also offers practical drawing exercises for the reader to try and is illustrated with full-color examples from a variety of artists.
The Confident Creative was a 2011 gold medal winner in the Nautilus Book Awards.
Spring Cannot Be Cancelled: David Hockney in Normandy
By David Hockney, Martin Gayford
I adore David Hockney. He draws so beautifully, and in so many different ways, and is always inventive in his art-making. He makes me see more through his art and was a major inspiration for me when I was starting out as an editorial illustrator years ago. This book is a 2020 pandemic conversation between Hockney, now living in Normandy, and his good friend, the art critic Martin Gayford in the UK. It really speaks to the devotion that artists have to observing life and creating something beautiful from it. I love the joy Hockney brings to his work and see that as a powerful energy to create from.
David Hockney: Drawing from Life
By David Hockney, Sarah Howgate
This is a purely visual book of portraits by David Hockney from the beginning of his career until he is nearly 80. It's full of different styles of drawing and painting and, for that reason, is the kind of book that stimulates visual ideas and makes me want to go straight to the drawing board. In other words, it really gets us thinking in some new ways about how we interpret the world around us in drawing and painting. It's a good reminder of the pleasures of looking and making.
Feck Perfuction: Dangerous Ideas on the Business of Life
By James Victore
Artist, designer, writer James Victore urges us to be ourselves without hesitation. Artists don't fit in, we can't. We're observers and makers and require a certain distance from the mainstream to refine our vision and do our work. But we can be afraid to express ourselves fully and stand out from the crowd. This book dishes out confidence like candy. It's a great place to replenish flagging spirits when they descend as they will from time to time. It's energizing and makes you want to open your eyes and do what you can to further the unfolding of your truth and spirit. Written in short pithy chapters, you can dip in and out of it whenever you need a boost.
By Anne Montfort
Sonia Delaunay's work with color and abstraction in the first part of the 20th century was groundbreaking as was her ability to also bring her art into the world of the applied arts of fashion, set design, mosaics, tapestries, and lithographs. The book has excellent essays about creative life in Paris at the time and over 250 illustrations. For women, it's especially inspiring to learn how Delaunay managed to be a wife and mother as well as a respected and prolific artist. It's also inspiring to see how she made a huge creative leap from representational art to her distinctive abstract art. From the perspective of creativity, I love how she was inventive in her art and then brought it into the world in inventive ways too.
Stranger Than Kindness
By Nick Cave
While Nick Cave is primarily a musician/songwriter, this book is a visual record of Cave's creative journey filled with his early sketchbooks, photos, drawings, and typewritten song lyrics annotated by hand. Many of us artists work in sketchbooks where we can feel free to be messy and exploratory and pour our hearts onto the page. Some of us need words as well as images to explore the world around us, decipher our feelings and uncover our work. I love musing over Nick's here—so messy and wild to begin and a little more ordered as he ages as one might expect. The book is filled with photos of different parts of his life, drawings and doodles, tight handwritten scripts and taped over typewritten lyrics gone yellow with age. It's a compendium of a wonderful artist's creative process. A real joy to sit down with and muse over.

Great Alaska Adventure: Wet and Wonderful
Recently my younger daughter Hilary went to Greece on vacation. She had an ear-to-ear smile for a week before she left and during the entire ten days she was there. I suspect it's still stretching her face into an abnormally happy shape. I know how she feels.
When I got the the bikes loaded early this morning I knew this great adventure had really begun. Finally.
And MY idiot grin distorted my fuzzy face for the entire 380-mile ride from Orange Park to Homestead, even though we went in and out of rain more than a dozen times from Cocoa Beach to today's destination south of Miami.
We were out of the rain more than we were in it, but we stayed in rain suits for about 5 of the 8 hours we were on the road. Only occasionally did the precipitation precipitate butt-cheek clenching concerns when I couldn't see the car in front of me, but those heavy rains only lasted five minutes or so at a time. I've ridden in a lot worse and will no doubt ride in worse again during the next two months. Marilyn, with a death grip on her grips, soldiered on without complaint. What a trouper.
We had some equipment to dehydrate after we checked in to our hotel, as the picture of Marilyn drying the hair in her boots with the hotel's Conair suggests. But we stayed dry for the most part in our new Harley Davidson rain suits (money well spent) and I was especially happy with my dry feet ensconced in my new AlpineStarts Gor-Tex boots.
Marilyn had to choose between slightly damp feet and awkward gaiters and opted for the former. I think tomorrow (which is predicted to be a lot like today) she may choose gaiters and dry feet.
We walked across the highway from hotel to a decent Cuban restaurant where I ate more vaca frita than I had a natural right to. But along with the fried plantains, hot, fresh bread and black beans and rice, it hit the spot. Good Cuban food in south Florida. Who'd have thought…?
Tomorrow we reach the southern most point on our journey to the Great White North. I'm looking forward to playing tourist for a few hours in what the Spanish originally called Cayo Hueso and what we now know as the home of Sloppy Joes and Papa Hemingway: Key West.
Location:Homestead, FL

Anthem tries to embrace its own Destiny

During yesterday's EA's press conference for E3 (which seemed at times like an hour-long apology for microtransactions) we saw a bit more of Anthem, the upcoming shooter from BioWare.

Q: What is the difference between file:/, file://, file:/// Today I saw in a Java application several different approaches to load a file.

*

*file:/

*file://

*file:///

What is the difference of these three URL beginnings and what is the preferred way of using them?
Thanks a lot
Stefan

A: file:/ is invalid, and shouldn't work
file:/// is a shorthand for: file://localhost/
file:// is the recommended method

A: *

*file:/ is invalid as far as I know

*file:// is the prefix for the file protocol

*file:/// is the prefix for the file protocol, plus a leading / pointing to the root directory of the current drive (On Windows) or the overall root directory (On Linux / Unix).

Neighborhood Housing Services is a willing participant in the Slavic Village "Recovery" math. So flagrantly willing that one might even call it a fraudulent use of federal, state and county funds (that's tax $$$$$$$$ for those who pay into the system), they have gone above and beyond to help these "sales" happen. EVEN overriding their own "assistance" maximums.

Last summer at the dog park in Clark Field rumors circulated about soil samples having been taken by the City of Cleveland health department. Several long time park visitors were expecting the park to be shut down because dangerous toxins had been found throughout the field. The city of Cleveland shut down any questions about these results, keeping the high levels of toxins found there a secret.

And now they are selling them 6608 Gertrude for $6000 and $3661.11 in back taxes mysteriously disappeared thanks to those of us in Cleveland who actually PAY their taxes. Or 6705 Clement also for $6,000 and the back taxes of $1784.24 ALSO were wiped clean without payment by the generousity of we the taxpayer.

Orchard School "of Science" was to be RENOVATED according to the Master Facility Plan. Without asking anyone's permission, like for example THE TAXPAYERS, it was torn down instead. On the plan page devoted to this school, in a glaringly different typeface, without bothering to delete the word "renovated" from the top of the page on the original plan, the school will "open NEW in 2012". Unless it will be opening in transformational tents this is unlikely since the lot sits empty as of today May 26, 2012.

Many investors may not realize it, but uranium was the only commodity that went up in price last year. The uranium price is a pure function of demand and the number of reactors in China is set to reach 38 by the end of this year. The cost of uranium is trivial compared to a reactor's other running costs, leaving plenty of room for upward movement in the spot price. With the bear market in uranium going on five years, there are very few quality uranium companies still around vying for your investment dollar.
This week, we talk to Dev Randhawa, Founder and CEO of Fission Uranium.

In this interview, we discuss the failed merger between Denison and Fission Uranium, as well as the more recent investment by Chinese group, CGM Mining Company.
Fission Uranium won an award for having the best mining project in the world, but with the Patterson Lake South Project reaching PEA level, what kind of upside remains for investors?

92. Cliff Richard and the Shadows – Travellin' Light (1959)
March 9, 2018 April 7, 2018 / robbarker
On 30 October, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club opened in Soho, London. One of the most renowned venues of its kind, some of the artists who later played there include Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Curtis Mayfield, Prince and Jimi Hendrix, in his final public performance. Two days later, the first section of the M1 opened, between Watford and Rugby. London Transport. 17 November saw Prestwick and Renfrew become the first UK airports to feature duty free shops.
During this period, and beyond, Cliff Richard enjoyed his second lengthy stay at number 1 of the year, after Living Doll had become the biggest-selling single of 1959. Since Living Doll, his backing band, the Drifters, had run into trouble. Unlike most backing bands at the time, they had signed a separate contract to Cliff, meaning they could release material on their own. Their first single, Feelin' Fine, had to be withdrawn in the US when the manager of the famous soul group with the same name threatened legal action. The second single, Jet Black, was credited to The Four Jets, but manager Norrie Paramor suggested they needed to find a name and stick to it. That July while in a pub in Ruslip, bassist Jet Harris suggested to guitarist Hank Marvin they should be called The Shadows, and thus the name of one of the most famous bands of the next few years was finally settled. Ironically, Bobby Vee's backing group were also called the Shadows, but Marvin and co didn't know this, so tough. Travellin' Light, written by Sid Tepper & Roy C Bennett, became their first single with their new name. Tepper and Bennett became two of Richards' most frequent collaborators, and they also wrote many songs for Elvis Presley, particularly for his films.
Travellin' Light is pretty much a rewrite of Living Doll, as close as you can get to following up a number 1 with a repeat of the same formula. It's also quite similar to Roger Miller's 1965 number 1, King of the Road – had he been listening to this? The production is also similar to before, but this time Cliff's voice has been treated with a strong echo effect, and there's some welcome twangy guitar flourishes from Marvin, that could have done to be louder in the mix. Cliff is on his way to see his girl, and he's so excited he's taken nothing with him. He can't even be bothered with a comb or toothbrush, the dirty beggar. It's an average country tune that would be better remembered if they'd at least tried to make it sound different to what had come before, but five weeks at number 1 suggests their fans were happy with more of the same.

Cabinet heats up over IGP
October 3, 2018 Lankanewspapers 0 Comments
The Cabinet meeting yesterday heated up as President Maithripala Sirisena raised concerns over the conduct of the current Inspector General of Police (IGP), describing the high-ranking official as an "embarrassment to the current Government."
Sirisena launched a scathing attack against IGP Pujith Jayasundara, claiming that his behaviour had embarrassed both the President and Prime Minister as well as the entire Government.
"The President highlighted that the IGP's behaviour had made a joke of the entire police department and embarrassed the Government," one Cabinet source told Daily FT.
However, neither Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe nor Law and Order Minister Ranjith Madduma Bandara had given any input during the discussion, Daily FT learns.
When Cabinet ministers spoke of difficulties they were facing due to cutbacks in funding allocations by the Finance Ministry,Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera had maintained his position.
"Minister Mangala Samaraweera said that the situation could not be helped due to the current economic situation," one Cabinet source told Daily FT.
Megapolis and Western Development Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka however insisted on obtaining funding for the establishment of a special centre and waste management project his ministry was involved in. Nevertheless, Samaraweera was not ready to accommodate his request.
Receiving a negative reply from the Finance Minister, Minister Ranawaka had responded that he would "find the funds needed for the project, but don't try and stop the project", a highly-placed source told Daily FT.
Provincial Council and Local Government Minister Faiszer Musthapha also received the same reply when he presented a paper to amend the vehicle permit given to Northern Province Chief Minister C.V Vigneswaran to be on par with the permit given to chief ministers of other provincial councils.
While the permit issued to all other chief ministers in the country was on par with the concessions granted to a Deputy Minister, the one issued to the Northern Province Chief Minister had fewer concessions and was equal to a provincial councillor's permit. The Minister presented a paper seeking approval to rectify the matter. However, the Minister's proposal was met with a negative response from the Finance Minister who reminded Musthapha of the moratorium imposed on the importation of vehicles through permits only two days ago.

This is a list of former monarchs of sovereign states who are living to date. While most monarchs retain their position for their lifetime, some choose to abdicate in favour of a younger heir, while other monarchs are deposed when their monarchies are abolished or when another ruler seizes power by force. By international courtesy, these individuals are usually still addressed by their monarchical titles.

Living former monarchs of sovereign states

Besides these, there are three living former holders of the title Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Sirajuddin of Perlis, Mizan Zainal Abidin of Terengganu and Muhammad V of Kelantan) in Malaysia (who are not listed because they remain leaders of one of the nine subnational Malay states), as well as two living former Presidents of France (Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande) who served as Co-Princes of Andorra. The most recent former monarch to die was King Constantine II of Greece, on 10 January 2023.

Q: Using Lattice Isomorphism Theorem I am working on this for my algebra class and I am stuck at the very end.
$\textbf{QUESTION:}$
Let $p$ be a prime and let $G$ be a group of order $p^\alpha$. Prove that $G$ has a subgroup of order $p^\beta$, for every $\beta$ with $0\le\beta\le\alpha$.
$\textbf{SOLUTION:}$
We will proceed with induction on $\alpha$. When $\alpha=1$, we have $\lvert G\rvert = p$. So $1$ and $G$ are subgroups of order $1$ and $p$, respectively. Hence $G$ has a subgroup of order $p^\beta$ for all $0 \le \beta \leq 1$. Thus our basis is established.
Next, we assume that a group of order $p^\alpha$ has a subgroup of order $p^\beta$ for every $\beta$ with $0\le\beta\le\alpha$.
Now let $G$ be a group of order $\alpha+1$. By Theorem 8, page 125, we know that $G$ has a nontrivial center $Z(G)$. We have two cases to consider: if $Z(G)=G$, then $G$ is abelian and we let $H\le G$ with $\lvert H\rvert=p$ by Cauchy's Theorem; if $Z(G)\ne G$, then let $H=Z(G)$ which is nontrivial and normal in $G$.
In either case, we consider the two groups $H$ and $G/H$. By Lagrange's Theorem, both $H$ and $G/H$ are groups of order $p^\beta$ for some $0\le\beta\le\alpha$. So by the induction hypothesis, both $H$ and $G/H$ have subgroups of $p^\gamma$ for all $0\le\gamma\le\beta$.

Then by Fourth Isomorphism Theorem, $G$ has a subgroup of order $p^\beta$ for all $0\le\beta\le\alpha+1$?

A: Suppose that $|H|=p^\beta$, where $1\le\beta\le\alpha$. Every subgroup of $H$ is a subgroup of $G$, so by the induction hypothesis $G$ has subgroups of every order $p^\gamma$ with $0\le\gamma\le\beta$. Now suppose that $\beta<\gamma\le\alpha+1$, and let $\delta=\gamma-\beta$. $|G/H|=p^{(\alpha+1)-\beta}$, and $\delta\le(\alpha+1)-\beta\le\alpha$, so by the induction hypothesis $G/H$ has a subgroup $K$ of order $p^\delta$. The fourth isomorphism theorem says that $K=L/H$ for some subgroup $L$ of $G$ that contains $H$, and clearly $|L|=|K||H|=p^{\delta+\beta}=p^\gamma$. Thus, $G$ has subgroups of order $p^\gamma$ for all $\gamma\le\alpha+1$.

Turkey's 1 GW PV tender more than eight times oversubscribed
The Turkish authorities revealed that 131 project proposals, with a combined capacity of 9,440 MW, will compete in the tender.

Turkey's Ministry of Energy has published the list of the pre-qualified bidders of the 1 GW PV tender it launched on March 8.
The tender was more than eight times oversubscribed as 131 project proposals with a combined capacity of 9,440 MW were submitted for review.
"This was a record level of applications," Eren Engur, a board member of the energy storage committee at the Turkish PV association Günder, told pv magazine. The trade body represents the Turkish Republic in the programs of IEA PVPS (International Energy Agency Photovoltaic Power Systems) and includes public and private companies and the Ministry of Energy itself.
The application documents are currently being reviewed and those developers that will be selected in the pre-qualification process will be invited to the bidding final phase soon, according to Engur.
Through the tender, the Turkish authorities want to build PV projects ranging in size from 10 to 20 MW. The projects will be located in 36 cities. The cities of Van, Antalya, Gaziantep, and Mardi will each see 50 MW of allocated capacity, while Ankara and Diyarbakır will be assigned 40 MW each. For Usak, Erzurum, Burdur, Mersin, Osmaniye, Yozgat, Batman, Agri, Aksaray and Adiyaman, the respective allocated capacity is 30 MW each. Other cities will see the remaining portion of the installed solar power.
In a document published in January in the country's official journal, the Turkish government specified that it set a ceiling price of TRY0.35/kWh ($0.047) for the procurement exercise and that winners will receive a 15-year power purchase guarantee. Domestic content requirements for equipment selection will play an important role in the tender.

I thought at first glance that Colinux was a new rival to Linus' open-source behemoth, but written by someone called Colin; until I realized it's camel-cased as coLinux (short for CooperativeLinux).
What it actually is, is an incredibly neat way to run Linux in a window on your Windows PC. (Pause to re-read that – yes, it really is possible). It's a bit like getting a remote desktop on a Linux box, except it's all happening on the one workstation.
The use cases for this kind of setup are many: developing and testing on multiple operating systems with a single PC; copying and pasting between applications in different operating systems; demoing multi-platform apps on a single laptop; luring tentative users for whom even trying out Linux on a bootable LiveCD would be too adventurous; and so on.
There's a page describing how to get coLinux working with Gentoo.
Unfortunately, I encountered some problems with coLinux/Gentoo on my ancient-ish Windows 2000 machine. It mostly worked, but for the life of me I couldn't work out how to get networking to behave. To be fair, coLinux is open source and is currently at version 0.6.3 (although as I've been reminded on these pages before, in the open source world, a low version number doesn't necessarily mean an immature release).
As is often the case with open source, I was referred to a maze of Wiki pages and how-to's, which basically didn't have the answers I needed. coLinux does show promise though: I'll be keeping an eye on its progress.
If you're prepared to cough up a little dough (so to speak), an alternative solution is to use the commercial VMware. With VMWare Workstation 5.5, you can have a virtual PC on which to run Linux. The nice thing is, it simply works. I can now bring up Knoppix in a little window, with full X Windows/KDE etc. All very cool.
