Cinedans is a must-go-to international festival for dance, film and media. The Amsterdam-based event is housed at the architecturally stunning Eye, the Dutch film institute, on the north bank of the IJ River, just opposite the city's Central Station. Cinedans is where festival programmers and filmmakers, as well as commissioning editors and producers, from around the world converge.
The festival describes a "dancefilm" as "a true synthesis between two different media — dance and cinematography." The event emphasizes choreographies created specifically for the camera and on-film adaptations of existing dance performances. It's also an opportunity to highlight the expanding new realms for dancefilm dissemination.
In the past, a number of films that I've co-directed with Marlene Millar have been included in the festival. This year our trio of urban dance documentaries, CRU, created for Télé-Québec's Fabrique culturelle web platform, had its theatrical premiere.
During this year's thirteenth edition of Cinedans approximately 100-plus films (shorts, documentaries, retrospectives) from all over the world were screened. If you had the stamina, you could binge-watch from noon to midnight to your heart's content. In addition to the film program, there were talks on funding and co-production, diverse workshops on capturing movement and interfacing with technology as performance, a kids' stop-motion session, as well as installation events including Marloeke van der Vlugt's Chair_Jump_Chute inspired by Merce Cunningham's Antic Meet.
Canadians were well represented. Marites Carino's Crack the Cypher, Brian Johnson's Inheritor Recordings, Jules de Niverville's Twitch, Fréderique Cournoyer-Lessard's Step and Nellie Carrier's Néants were all part of one of the well-attended five competitive short programs. In a particularly captivating special series of films featuring pedestrian movements, Canadian Ryan Larkin's Oscar-winning animation from 1968, Walking, was a standout. Though Canadians didn't win prizes at Cinedans, they made a big impression, based on a wide range of comments I overheard.
An intriguing and ultimately stimulating programming moment featured the work of Mexican filmmaker Teo Hernandez, who lived in Paris until his death in 1992. His films were shot on Super 8 film, and as Centre Pompidou archivist Jonathan Pouthier mentioned in his opening remarks, "[Hernandez's] interactions with his subjects (dancers, landscapes, the streets of Paris) really stretch the concept of moving pictures to the limit," and his trancelike movies "challenge the act of seeing."
Among the feature documentaries, Jaap Flier, Solist by Jellie Decker was a highlight. It is beautifully shot, well researched and follows an incredibly charismatic subject in Flier, one of the co-founders of Nederlands Dans Theater and the eventual head of the Amsterdam School for New Dance Development. Now in his eighties, he's still dancing, and these segments were among the most entrancing segments of the film portrait.
Question and answer periods following a screening are pro forma activities at festivals. I was pleasantly surprised at how engaged the audience was following the "Urban Dance Docs" series of films. It was a great privilege to be present and gauge the response of the racially diverse and mixed-age crowd. Key issues centred on the place of urban dance in the overall dance scene, but especially on how urban dance can find its place in the dancefilm genre. More specifically, what means do dance filmmakers employ to get both accurate renditions of the various styles in the field, but also what does it take to create a project that will be effective and inspiring in communicating the passion of the dance itself?
The experience in travelling to festivals is usually rich in exchange, dialogue and contacts, in addition to providing a wonderful opportunity to show work and express my perspectives to an international audience. Cinedans is top-notch in both its welcome and the platform it affords.

You've been let go from a position you expected to have until retirement, your resume needs updating and you need to tell your spouse of the downturn. This happened to me three times between 2005 and 2008.
The first question you ask yourself is, "Now what? How am I going to pay my mortgage, purchase food or even buy my kids an ice cream cone?"
The process of finding a job is different from what it once was. Potential employers want the application to be completed online. So where do you begin the search for a new career when the job market has become so competitive and impersonal?
Step 1 in finding a new career is to place yourself on your knees in prayer. You will not find a new career without the help of heaven. Be patient. Your Heavenly Father will use this time in your life to teach humility, patience and long-suffering.


The Head of the Tamar Regional Council has stated that it will bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 at Masada.
Dov Litvinoff the Head of the Tamar Regional Council in Eastern Israel has confirmed today that they will be submitting a bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Mr Litvinoff has revealed that the regions bid to host the contest will be centered on Masada, an ancient fortress that overlooks the Dead Sea.
We have 4,000 hotel rooms close to us at the Dead Sea, there are 500 more in the area, and even if more are needed, Jerusalem is within an hour's drive and we will take care for the public transportation and buses. Also the roofing of the compound should not be a problem. So in short- We're ready, and we hope for being taken into considerations too.

The Pima Community College men's and women's track and field teams made some noise in the third day of competition at the Region I Championships on Tuesday.
Sophomores Sam Shoultz (Corona del Sol HS), Treyshon Malone (Yuma Catholic HS), David Fernandez (Ironwood Ridge HS) and freshman Megan Schiffmacher earned their respective top spots and each gave Pima 10 team points.
Shoultz became a two-time Region I champion in the high jump, with a jump of 6-feet, 11.75-inches (2.13 meters).
Malone took first place in the long jump with a mark of 25-1.75 (7.66 meters). He also set a national qualifier in the 200 meter dash prelims with a time of 21.33 seconds which put him third on the all-time Pima list.

Ever since the 2014 debut of emojis, online communication has been a brighter, more joyful experience. Why type out the words "Let's get ice cream" when you simply send a pal the vanilla soft serve emoji? Why not replace archaic hello's and goodbye's with a friendly waving hand or cheeky kissing face? Thankfully, we have a whole day dedicated to celebrating the technological wonder. Today, July 17 (the date permanently displayed on the calendar emoji), marks World Emoji Day. To properly honor these cute characters, N.Y.C.-based bartender and mixologist Matthew Houlihan used Cachaca 51 ($17; wineanthology.com), a Brazillian distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice, to create three real-life cocktails that are identical to the emoji versions. Check out the recipes below [insert clinking beer mugs here]!
Combine ingredients into a glass and stir with ice until cocktail is chilled well. Strain into a coup. Garnish with an olive.

Pour grenadine to the bottom of a hurricane glass and fill with crushed ice. Combine Cachaça 51, orange juice, and passion fruit juice into a shaker and shake lightly. Pour over ice. Garnish with lime wedge.


NATIONAL retailers are in talks with Barnsley Council about becoming part of the new town centre under the major redevelopment plans.
Tony Baker, Director of 1249 Regeneration Partnership which is looking after the scheme, said: "Last year we announced the formal signing of Debenhams to this flagship £125 million scheme.
This project will regenerate almost a quarter of the town centre and will help create 1,300 jobs, including several hundred construction jobs.
The Marketplace Barnsley will be anchored by Debenhams department store, an Odeon seven-screen cinema, 35 retail and leisure units as well as ample car parking for shoppers.
Debenhams will be taking 75,000sq ft on a 25-year lease – it will have two stores and a restaurant.
If you are interested in reading more about the plans, go here.
This is a marvellous opportunity to elevate Barnsley to the status it ought to be for a town of its size. Hopefully this means it's finally moving.
Interesting the Odeon have signed up to run the cinema - apart from that I can't see any new news.
The council really must pull out all the stops to keep the town alive during the building work. Hopefully Barnsley folk will keep shopping in town during the works, though I suspect many might just go to Meadowhell instead. Sheffield never recovered from the tram building works - the message needs to be loud and clear that Barnsley will stay open for business.
they have been saying this for years and in 20 years barnsley will still look rubbish.

1st place in Derby #274: Monsters, Robots, and Aliens!, with 590 votes!
It was just a costume for a Halloween party at first.
In the past, I'd gone the clever route, the weird route, and the lazy route, but I'd never worn anything that was traditionally scary. So I thought, this year, I'd challenge myself. I would put together something that might scare people. And what could be better than a mythical monster who feeds on our kind?
I spent many painstaking hours constructing it, putting in far more work than ever before. I don't know why; it just felt right. And I must say, when I put it on and looked in the mirror, I was terrified of myself.
It was dark by the time that I arrived at the party. I was standing outside finishing my cigarette before going in, when the door opened and a couple exited: a molasses cookie done up as a cat and a snicker doodle dressed as a professor.
The glow of my cigarette caught their attention. They looked at me. I nodded, a simple greeting, but they didn't even see, because they were already running away, screaming. That was it. That was all that happened. That's where the story would end it if it were theirs. But it was not. It was mine, and it was just the beginning. You see, their screams filled me with a certain satisfaction I had not, until that moment, ever felt before. I wanted more of it. A lot more.
So, I never went into that party, nor did I go back home. I began roaming the streets, terrorizing the city at night. My passion was fueled by the shrieks and cries of passersby as they scurried away in fear.
I felt sated, happy. Each morning, I'd sneak out of whatever alleyway I was hiding in to steal a newspaper and read about myself. "Monster on the loose," the front page of one would say. "Creature sighted again," said another. I limited myself to two at a time, or else I'd be too giddy to get any sleep.
But recently, the press seems to have taken a new view of me. In fact, just yesterday, I read an article proposing there was nothing to be afraid of. The author argued that, if I were truly a monster, I would have attacked someone by now.
And you know what, he brings up a good point. If I am to be as feared as I desire to be, I must claim a victim. Just like the mythical creature on whom my costume is based, I must consume one of my own kind.
And I'm sorry to say, it's you.
Wear this shirt: if you're going as a cookie dressed as a cookie monster who himself is dressed as a cookie for Halloween.
Don't wear this shirt: if you're going as Big Bird for Halloween. Because we're not going to touch that. Too political.
This shirt tells the world: "Civilized society is crumbling."
We call this color: Royal Blue-kie Crisp!
If Tony Centeno's name is pronounced how I think it is, than I'm really jealous of how awesome his name sounds.

Allan Barton had a key role in the establishment of the Oil Mallee Company, following his research into the properties of eucalyptus oil, particularly cineole, in the early 1980s. He has been teaching at Murdoch University, Western Australia, including resources recycling and forensic science, inorganic chemistry, and physical and industrial chemistry.
In the early 1990s, Professor Alan Barton approached the Western Australia Department of Conservation and Land management to examine the potential of planting oil mallees across the Western Australian wheat belt to assist in overcoming the serious presence of high salinity. With the cooperation of local farmers, the Oil Mallee Association was formed and in 1998 it received a $2.2 million grant from the Australian Government's Natural Heritage Trust to propagate and maintain mallees for planting in the Western Australian wheat belt. The Association now has over 900 growers throughout the region. Today, the Oil Mallee Project has target plantings of 500 million mallees, to be planted over 1 million hectares, by the year 2025.While high-quality eucalyptus oil production is one of the expected outcomes from the project, other by-products are likely to be of equal or even greater benefit.

Comments about documentary «Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower» (836)
When the Chinese Communist Party backtracks on its promise of autonomy to Hong Kong, teenager Joshua Wong decides to save his city. Rallying thousands of kids to skip school and occupy the streets, Joshua becomes an unlikely leader in Hong Kong and one of China's most notorious dissidents.

I thought this movie was very cool. I watch it again and again!
This is one rocking movie and Joshua 'Chi-Fung' Wong once again proves why he's the best man for the job.
Like the movie and would recommend it.
One of the best movies I have ever seen. Written well, directed well and told well. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Great movie! The concept behind Joshua contre une superpuissance is brilliant. You've gotta watch this!
Crime Moderator• Tuesday, 17 Jan 2023 05:35
The best movie I've seen in a long long time. Beautifully written and executed. Seriously. Amazing.
Didn't really care about the weak plot and tropes. Good visuals and you'll probably enjoy it if you like Documentary.
Pretty good Documentary movie. It was good most of the time
Was a great blend of talent and action !
Joshua contre une superpuissance is nothing like your average Hollywood movie. It is really something you should see for yourself.
Little cheezy at times but I do like it.

Stewart International Relay Trophy will be staged again at Great Edinburgh International XCountry 2017
Scottish Athletics | 22/01/2016 |
Organisers of the Great Edinburgh International XCountry have confirmed that the victorious home team will have the opportunity to defend their title next year. The Scotland A team stormed to victory in the 4x1k mixed relay to win the Stewart International Relay trophy on 9 January in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh.
The relay was staged as part of the BBC televised event. The trophy, which is named after two Scottish running legends Ian and Lachie Stewart, was awarded to the Scotland A team made up of Laura Muir, Steph Twell, Jake Wightman and Cameron Boyek.
The innovative format was popular with the crowds and gave local supporters the chance to cheer on athletes out on the course.
Laura Muir, who was recently named 'Scottish Athlete of the Year' said, "I raced this event last year but it was only two legs and fewer teams. The format today was ideal and the crowd seemed to love it. With four runners, two men and two women, and eight teams it was just about set-up perfectly.
"It was just brilliant to win the trophy in front of a home crowd and the atmosphere around the park was terrific. The Great Edinburgh International XCountry is such an exciting event.
"It was a really good team with I think good runs by all four athletes."
The event also included an international team competition between G.B.&NI, Team USA and Team Europe, which featured senior men and women's races around the park.
Team G.B.& NI were the overall winners, even though Double Olympic and World Champion Mo Farah just missed out on a win to experienced XCountry specialist Garrett Heath of the USA.
The event also includes the popular Pure Gym Great Edinburgh Winter Run 5k which had a record field of over 3000 amateur participants this year. It has been confirmed the event will continue to take place at Holyrood Park until at least 2018.
Great Run will be back in the city on Sunday 17th April for the 10 mile Great Edinburgh Run, which takes in some of the city's most iconic sites. The event is open for entry now at greatrun.org/edinburgh.

Q: jquery, jqplot change option value im using jquery: http://www.jqplot.com/ and i made a nice chart.
the only problem i got is this:
when im over 300 pixels of the chart, i want the highlighter tooltiplocation go's to 'nw' if its smaller its 'ne'.
current options:
  highlighter: {
       tooltipLocation: 'ne',
       useAxesFormatters: true,
   },

does anybody know how to change te location after its rendered?

A: I think you have to save the return value of jQPlot function in a variable:
targetPlot = $.jqplot(...your diagram...)

and can then set different options this way and replot:
targetPlot['legend']['location'] = "ne";
targetPlot.replot();

A: It is explained very well here:
Google Groups
You can use:
$("#your_jqplot_target").empty();

and create new
$.jqplot('...your diagram options here...');

in the same target (your_jqplot_target).
Like Sandro L said, if you save the return value of jQPlot function in a variable:
targetPlot = $.jqplot('...your diagram...');

Then you can set new series or options to it and targetPlot.redraw(); or targetPlot.replot(); it later. Please read more on the page linked above.

Q: Challenging Big O I have a problem with the Big O:
for i:=1 to n do
for j:=1 to i*i do
begin
  k:=1; m:=n;
  while m>=k do
  begin
    k:=k*3;
    m:=m/2
  end
end

Teacher gave the answer - n*n*n*log(n). However, I can't get there. That is supposed to be log for the basis 2. Please help.

A: Here you see where the parts come from:
for i:=1 to n do      <-- n
for j:=1 to i*i do    <-- n*n
begin
  k:=1; m:=n;
  while m>=k do       <-- log(n)
  begin                    /
    k:=k*3;               /
    m:=m/2            <--+
  end
end

the loops are nested so you multiply their complexities
To understand the base 2 log, let's start with a simpler example:
  while m>=k do
  begin
    k:=k*2;
    m:=m/2
  end

this loop runs exactly ⌈(log n)/2⌉ times (base 2) because simply spoken m and k meet in the middle (not the exact middle of course!) after half of the time. The constant factor 0.5 is ignored in Big-O.
For k:=k*3the case is similar, but the result will be between (log n)/2 (base 3) and (log n)/2 (base 2).
I'll leave the math up to you, but you will understand that m:=m/2 has more significance because it starts from top to bottom.

God and the Gun: Religion and Violence in Ireland
While media representations of the contemporary conflicts in Northern Ireland characterize the violence as sectarian (Protestant vs. Catholic), Danine Farquharson will speak about some of the historical circumstances of armed rebellion in Ireland and Northern Ireland that make us question the belief that "the Troubles are all about religion". Farquharson also explores the representation of Irish gunmen in 20th-Century fiction and film, and the development of stereotypes such as the Irish rebel and the Ulster paramilitary.

I was clearing a music folder in my external drive and found a directory I can't delete no matter what I try.
The operation can't be completed because the item "folder" is in use.
drwxrwxrwx  1 user  staff  131072 Jan  3  2017 .
drwxrwxrwx  1 user  staff  131072 Jan  3  2017 ..
Nothing returns on program exit.
Health check passed so no repair was initiated.
I can move the folder within the drive, but not to another drive.
I can rename the folder.
ls -i *.mp3 returns ls: 03 - Ēlusion.mp3: No such file or directory, same as rm -i *.mp3.
The file doesn't show up in Finder, that's confusing part, whatever filename display issue Terminal could have (I always set it to use Unicode - UTF-8), I think there are more force at play.
In response to questions, nope, ls -ib doesn't return anything.
2762318 drwxrwxrwx  1 user  staff  131072 Jan  3  2017 .
2685260 drwxrwxrwx  1 user  staff  131072 Jan  3  2017 ..
So apparently there is something in it but ls -la couldn't see it, while rm -i is being weird with filename?
get info via GUI context menu did confirm there is 1 item in the folder, but with zero byte, and certainly doesn't show up in finder.
I am not sure what to do at this point. Help much appreciated!
The problem appears to be caused by a file named 03 - Ēlusion.mp3 located within the directory named folder.
--giving you the file "deletemenow" in the folder "folder," both of which you may dispose of in whatever way best suits your fancy.
It took me a long time to come to this summary, but I think it's the definitive answer.
OS X is the odd one out, both in that it normalizes file names and in that it uses NFD instead of the more common NFC.
Historically (not that old, pre 10.11 era), OS X + HFS+ enforces NFD form on all filenames, and you will only get NFD result from commands and system calls.
Then things starts to change, in 10.11, some system call results are normalized to NFC, which puts it inline with Windows and Linux, but at the expense of breaking some programs that expect NFD on OS X.
But since the introduction of macOS 10.13 + AFPS, the behavior changes again: Apple decides it wants to normalize to NFD on display and system calls, but leave the original filenames as it is (so both NFC and NFD are supported, but if you select the filename in Finder or copy ls result in Terminal, you get NFD form).
This is all great, until you put a file with NFD filename in an external drive using exFAT (as it's the only cross-macOS/Windows format with 4GB+ file size support): macOS 10.13 somehow believe your file must be in NFC format, so it bugged out.
2762318 drwxrwxrwx  1 user  staff    131072 Jan  3  2017 .
2685260 drwxrwxrwx  1 user  staff    131072 Jan  3  2017 ..
As you can see, the NFC file is present but NFD file is missing.
Even if you are aware of the NFC/NFD problem on OS X, you might not expect exFAT external drive to face this issue in the opposite way (NFC is fine, but NFD is pant-on-fire).
I originally downloaded this music file on 10.9/10.10 with an older Mac, which enforces NFD filename.
At some point I move them away to a Windows + NTFS drive, which doesn't enforce NFC/NFD, so original NFD filename is preserved.
Now I want to move this file back to my macOS 10.13 + APFS using an exFAT drive (exFAT supports the same UTF-16 convention as NTFS).
I could have copied the file via networked drive or TeamViewer, and it would be fine, but exFAT is triggering this bug on macOS.
Unicode filename is still a threat.
You actually need an Windows/Linux to fix this issue (if the situation is your file are on an exFAT external drive).

Easy RI Divorces With Coaching
6 Steps to an Easier RI Divorce

Rhode Island Divorce Law
Uncontested Divorce Blog
Why Are More People Handling their Uncontested RI Divorces without a Lawyer?
By: Christopher A. Pearsall
The why is relatively easy to answer.
The Rhode Island family court system recently has taken a dramatic turn since the appointment of the newest Chief Judge Haiganush Bedrosian.
Judges previously expected parties in a divorce know what they are doing when processing their divorce hearings. There has been a substantial trend in judges helping people through the divorce proceeding.
So many people are doing a passable job on their initial filings to make it passable with the clerk's office. Then people are counting on the judge to help them through the actual proceeding.
This trend started when the Courts began providing divorce packets containing rough questions that may or may not be asked during an uncontested divorce proceeding.
Well, that's what people are thinking and it would seem to make sense now wouldn't it? Is it that easy? Based upon rough estimates about 75 to 80% think that it is. That seems to be approximately the number of "Pro Se" individuals that are filing their own divorces with the court.
Do you have the right to file your own divorce? Certainly you do. You have the right to represent yourself.
Yet 90% of the callers who contact me each week assume they have an uncontested divorce. Usually I hear something like this.
"We don't have anything to argue about. Everything is agreed to. It should be so easy that a lawyer should have to do almost nothing so it should be really cheap."
The next question that usually follows is "How much do you charge for an uncontested divorce?"
But usually they don't have an uncontested divorce and they have misunderstood the concept entirely because they really don't know what an "uncontested divorce" really is.
To this point we know why people are filing their own divorces without the help of a lawyer. They know it's cheaper and they think it's easy so they don't think they need a lawyer.
But what are these folks missing? Check out my next article.

Home Society Energy Trends – 4 Reasons to be Hopeful About Renewables and Solar
Energy Trends – 4 Reasons to be Hopeful About Renewables and Solar
Posted By nikolas-badminton on September 11, 2018
In this week's Energy Trends – 4 Reasons to be Hopeful About Renewables & Solar we take a look at some trends in renewable energy and solar and focus on some of the positive news coming out of the industry.
The last week has been buzzing with Elon Musk's appearance on a chat show, the Joe Rogan Experience. On the show, Musk rails against the fossil fuel industry, calling what we're doing the 'dumbest experiment in human history'.
Obviously, his appearance has attracted attention for other reasons, specifically smoking a blunt. However, don't let that distract you. What Musk is saying about our addiction to fossil fuels is critical. By using fossil fuels and not transitioning to renewables, Musk argues we are subsidizing oil and gas since the pollution they cause has to be paid for by us all in the long run.
He could've elaborated more on how fossil fuels are subsidized directly and indirectly by governments and taxpayers. For example, oil companies receive tax deductibles depending on their agreements with specific governments for things such as exploration costs in searching out new deposits. Canada alone gives $3.3 billion in subsidies via extraction incentives and research and development policies as detailed in this article from 2016.
We need to move away from using fossil fuels today. As Musk points out, if we know that one day there will be no oil, why procrastinate and cause more damage to our planet by waiting? It's because of people chasing easy money according to Musk. We need a system where renewables are subsidized, fossil fuels are not, and one where polluter pays for externalities, such as pollution.
So given all this ranting and raving… and fretting over the future of our beautiful planet, do we have any reasons to be cheerful on this weekday in September? How about five reasons with a focus on solar?
1. California's Response to Record Wildfires: Shift to 100% Clean Energy
We start with news that politicians in California are responding to their huge climate problems by embracing science and speeding up its transition to 100% renewable energy.
The last five years contain the five hottest on record for California, and their wildfire season is devastating the state every year and becoming longer and intensifying in size and scale. The result has been politicians taking action:
Last week, California state lawmakers passed State Senator (and candidate for US Senate) Kevin de León's SB 100, which amps up the target to 50% renewables by 2026, 60% by 2030, and 100% from "renewable energy resources and zero-carbon resources" by 2045.
California faces some huge challenges when it comes to climate but at least its politicians are facing up to them. It might not be a reason to be cheerful, exactly, since 2045 is still a long way away, but it's a step in the right direction. Hope springs eternal!
2. Sony to Source All Its Energy From Renewables by 2040
We have cities like Vancouver and states like California committing to 100% renewable energy. We also have Scandinavian countries like Iceland and Denmark leading the way in green energy production. Island nations like Samoa have also promised a move to 100% renewables. Now we have corporations taking a stand when it comes to energy production and usage.
Sony currently only sources 7% of its energy usage from renewables. This is no longer good enough. Due to pressure from stakeholders and investors corporations are going green.
Sony has gone 100% green in Europe but 80% of its energy usage is in Japan due to its semiconductor production. This will also now be greenified with Sony taking a lead in solar energy.
Globally, more companies are pledging to use only renewable energy and are joining the RE100 initiative, which includes big names like Apple, Fujitsu, Ricoh and Aeon. The push for renewables is now spreading to large manufacturers like Sony that use massive amounts of power.

3. Beijing Sees Renewable Energy Growth
Although this doesn't sound like much, Beijing just increased its renewable energy output to 7.6% of consumption (up from 3.3% in 2010). This is slow especially from a city and a country where change can happen at a much quicker rate. See last year's decision to cancel 103 coal plants due to risks of smog, pollution, and wasted capacity.
Where this news is hopeful is in its results when it comes to pollution in the city:
Beijing has been cutting coal consumption and promoting the use of gas and renewable energy for better air quality in recent years. Remarkable results have been achieved.The average density of PM2.5, a key indicator of air pollution, was 58 micrograms per cubic meter in Beijing last year, meeting the target set by the State Council, and 20.5 percent less than in 2016.
The Chinese government is more worried about the effects of pollution and what this means to stable government than potentially any other issue. The general public will protest on mass for clean air and water but will generally tolerate a restriction on individual freedoms and privacy providing the country and economy are strong. This is perhaps the biggest reason to be hopeful on renewables. China is financially capable of and has the political motivation to completely change the map when it comes to renewable energy growth. We may all have a huge stake in China's success and prosperity.

4. Changing the Type of Silicon Etching Drops Solar Power Costs by more than 10 Percent
Now we get a bit geeky about solar tech.
It's worth noting that solar and renewables, in general, are constantly getting better and more efficient. This is good news in that it makes energy production cheaper in comparison to fossil fuels. It does bring challenges in terms of retrofitting existing equipment or making it redundant.
Solar has made great progress. This latest research shows that using dry etched black silicon for passive emitter rear cell (PERC) solar cells reduces the cost per unit power by 10.8 per cent over those for industrial Czochralski silicon. This is in spite of increasing the costs of production of each unit by around 15-25%.
"For the people that think coal technology is going to be able to compete with solar, they should know solar costs are still coming down. Most coal companies are already, or near, bankrupt now. There's no way coal's going to be able to compete with solar in the future." – Joshua Pearce, Professor of Material Sciences and Electrical Engineering at Michigan Tech

I love the convenience of living in a city where everything I needed is right outside my door — literally. The bank, Whole Foods, Barnes & Nobel, Bed, Bath & Beyond, gym, newsstand, restaurants and hookers (I live down the street from a strip joint) are a few flights down the stairs and around the corner. If it wasn't for work, I'd be one of those pathetic New Yorkers who never leaves their 'hood.
Being great with directions but horrible at parallel parking and not fond of driving, I thank God I live in a walkable city and don't own a car.

I have good news and bad news
By Bloomsbury Admin | March 6, 2019
Guest post by Andrew Bomback
We had friends over for brunch. Because they're doctors, inevitably the conversation turned to medicine. I don't remember how we got on the subject of nurses, but somehow we did, and we were all trying to out-do each other's bad nursing stories.
My wife, Xenia, won: "I had finally convinced this family that the right thing to do was withdraw care on their father, and we were going to do a terminal extubation. I always like to give a morphine bolus before doing that, so the patient isn't gasping for air as soon as the tube comes out. It just looks bad for the family. I looked around for his nurse to get the morphine and couldn't find her. So I asked another nurse to help me, but she refused because the patient's nurse wasn't supposed to be on break. So, instead of helping me with the morphine, she helped me find the missing nurse, who was sitting in the break room eating an egg sandwich. And then the two nurses started arguing while I'm just waiting around for the morphine, and this poor old man's family is waiting for me. Finally, I said, 'Look, someone just needs to get me morphine so I can attend to a dying patient.' And the patient's nurse, in a huff, said, 'Fine, I'll do it, and I'll just let my egg sandwich get cold.' It was absolutely ridiculous."
I should add that Xenia told her story as a joke, just as I had told mine, just as our friends had told theirs.
Malcolm Gladwell, discussing why people tell jokes about themselves (his specific reference was engineers making engineering jokes), said that jokes are "grievances." Jokes are a way for a group of people to complain: This is the way we think! Why doesn't everyone else think like us?
The doctor takes his patient into a room and says, "I have some good news and some bad news."
"I can't take any more bad news," the distraught patient says. "Just give me the good news."
The doctor replies, "They're going to name this disease after you!"
I think the grievance in that joke is that doctors want their patients to laugh, like them, at how hard this profession can be. Whenever I have a patient who's also a physician, I end up telling some version of a doctor joke during our encounters. Let's grieve together, I'm communicating with these jokes. Recently I saw an orthopedic surgeon whose kidney disease, according to his labs, was in complete remission; still, he felt unusually weak and had to cancel some operations. "To me, it seems very different from when –" his wife said.
"It's the same weakness I've had for years," he interrupted, "and it's not as big a deal as you're making it out to be." He glared at his wife.
"Now, wait a minute," I said, trying to defuse the situation. "You know what we say – if you're at the track and the jockey wants to give you a tip, you never interrupt the jockey." I smiled. He relented and let his wife explain why she was worried that a stroke had been missed at some point.
"Okay," the patient said when she finished, "now can the horse speak for itself?"
A 7-year-old girl told her mom, "A boy in my class asked me to play doctor today."
"Tell me exactly what happened," the nervous mother said.
"Not much. He made me wait 45 minutes and then double-billed the insurance company."
Doctor jokes are grievances: The system is broken, and a broken system runs the risk of breaking the doctor. During residency, an emergency room doctor told me, "I save lives first, then ask questions later," when I pointed out to him that the patient he'd just coded, the patient who was now barely alive on a ventilator and whom I was being asked to admit to the medical intensive care unit, had a clear advanced directive in her chart that she didn't want to be resuscitated or intubated. "We're going to extubate her as soon as she gets up to the ICU," I told him in parting. "That's your call," he said to my retreating figure. In retrospect, I wish I had turned around and said, "No, that was her call." Instead, later that night, I sat in the residents lounge and laughed about his "I save lives first" quote with the other overnight residents. We found it hilarious that this doctor actually thought he saved lives.
A patient asks a doctor what he can do to live longer. The doctor replies with a long list of "don't"s, including nearly everything the patient enjoys.
The patient asks, "If I deny myself all those things, will I live longer?"
The doctor answers, "No, but it will feel that way."
My father admitted to me that it hurts to see some of his patients switching to his junior partners. "I can understand new patients not wanting to see me," he said. "They're looking for at least an 18-year relationship out of their pediatrician, and I know I won't be in the office for another 18 years. But the 10-year-olds and the 13-year-olds who've switched – that still makes me feel bad when I see them going into someone else's office." He stopped himself for a moment and then tried to make a joke. "Forget about the office, I may not even be alive in 18 years." The joke signaled that our conversation was not intended to be a father-son talk, but rather a doctor-doctor conversation. He was giving me permission to laugh.
And I will pass along that favor to my daughter, Juno, if she follows through on her current plans to become a doctor. In daycare, she and her classmates did an art project based on the phrase "When I grow up, I want to be a…" She'd chosen "teacher" as her profession but now wanted to change to "doctor," so she could go to work with Xenia and me. As a hospitalist, Xenia works in shifts and can reliably leave the hospital at 4:00 PM to pick up the kids from daycare. We have a system: I drop them off, she picks them up. Recently, Juno asked if I could pick her up instead of her mother.
"No puedo," I said.
"Because I have to work late," I said.
"But why?" she asked.
"Porque hay muchos enfermos en mi consulta," I said with a smile, proud of my Spanish and the simple truth of my answer.
"Wooooooooooo," Juno said with her own smile.
And then we both laughed.

Bad Outfit, Great Lipstick: What's in your "OH CRAP MAKEUP EMERGENCY" kit?
What's in your "OH CRAP MAKEUP EMERGENCY" kit?
For the most part, I am not obsessive about wearing makeup every time I go in public. On days when I wear it, I take my time putting it on at home; on days when I don't wear it, I just say, "Eh, screw it," and go about my life. No big.
But there are times when I wake up way too late for work and have to rush to the bus stop looking like the Night of the Living Dead. (What sadist invented snooze alarms, anyway?!) And there are times when I'm bumming around the house with a few friends when they suddenly decide to traipse out to the city for a big party or a major event. And at moments like that, I'm glad I have an "emergency kit."
1. Buxom Some Show Skin in Tickle the Ivory -- Hidden in that little NARS pot is roughly 2-3 applications of my current favorite tinted moisturizer. Not only does it contain SPF30 (so I don't have to carry an extra satchet of sunscreen), it's also very easy to apply in a rush.
2. any decent mascara sample -- Mascara does a great job of making me look more awake and put-together with very minimal effort. I just toss in whatever sample I have handy, provided said sample isn't of a mascara I absolutely abhor. I'm currently carrying around a mascara that I love: NARS Audacious.
3. Anastasia Perfect Brow pencil in Medium Brown -- Somebody sold me this sample-sized pencil for a few dollars. It doesn't top my Shu Uemura Hard Formula pencil, and my favorite Becca brow products are actually the Brow Wiz and the clear brow gel. But it's still a really good pencil with plenty of pigment, and the size makes it a perfect fit for my emergency kit.

In this post I explain how I used Node.js streams to parse and transform data text files.
This means that we can have small, focused programs that are easily assembled together to tackle more complex problems. Sort of like building awesome things with Lego blocks.
This is also possible in Node.js thanks to the Stream interface, and its .pipe() method.
I won't go over the general aspects of streams and pipes in Unix and Node.js. For that, I strongly recommend reading @substack's excellent Stream Handbook. In this post, I'd like to show how I started using them.
During one of my projects, I had to parse text files containing data from some "legacy" system in order to make it more usable and load it into a database. The parsing had a few different steps to it (translate the file to JSON, add and modify data for each record, etc.), and the files varied in size and could get relatively big.
I thought this would be an ideal candidate for streams. I could split each step into its own "streaming program", assemble them, and pipe the data through the resulting chain. It would also be fast and memory-efficient, even with bigger files. With streams, the whole file isn't loaded into memory, rather the data is "buffered" to each program of the chain and throttled to the speed at which they can process the data.
You can follow along with the code for the example in this article at https://github.com/nicolashery/example-stream-parser.
In this example, I'm going to use some silly made-up data (its format inspired by some files I've had to parse).
Let's create a first Node.js stream to pipe our data file to. This stream will do nothing really, just pass the data as-is to the next stream in the chain.
For that, we will be using the very handy Transform stream, which is both Writable and Readable (in other words, data comes in and also comes out).
All we need is to create a Transform stream and implement its _transform method. For now we'll just push data without doing anything with it.
We should see our data being streamed through the parser correctly!
The first thing I'd like to do is split those comma-separated values into objects I can manipulate.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, an npm search brings up csv-streamify which I can use. It will be easy to plug in my own parser logic on top of it, thanks to .pipe(). This is the beauty of streams.
Now that we have some basic streams wired up, it's time to add some data manipulation to the parser.
I won't describe the rest of the transform logic to get to the result mentioned at the beginning of this post, but you can find the full code on GitHub.
From here, there are many things we might want to do with our parsed data. Again, thanks to the composable and elegant interface of Node.js streams, this is very easy to do.
We already have a command line tool working (examples/cmd.js), which allows us to use it with other Unix tools, such as cat, head, wc, etc.
We could also pipe the parser into another stream that would manipulate the data further and possibly save it to a database or HTTP API (examples/transform.js).
Another usage could be to include the parser into a server (request and response passed by http.Server are also streams!). This way we could provide a "parser-as-a-service" through HTTP (examples/server.js), like what @maxogden describes in "Gut: Hosted Open Data Filet Knives".
Streams made it really pleasant to build a relatively complex data file parser out of small and simple components. On top of that, I don't have to worry about how big the data files get. The parser will remain fast and memory-efficient thanks to the pipe interface between the streams.
If you weren't familiar with streams before, I hope this example made you curious and want to give them a try.
Or maybe you've already worked with Node.js streams to process data? Feel free to share your experience!

Huge Economic Attack Against Russia – Ukraine's Fate
What will be Ukraine's fate? The costs to the Ukrainian economy of the Russian invasion are enormous. The World Bank warns that by 2022 the country's GDP could shrink to 45 percent. According to the Kyiv School of Economics, Russian aggression's damage to direct infrastructure is currently about $80 billion. And the total cost of rebuilding the country is likely to be much higher. The former governor of Ukraine issued a warning that it is already approaching $600 billion and may exceed $ trillion.
Despite the ever-increasing costs of the invasion – not only for Ukraine but also for Russia; The Russian president does not seem ready for de-escalation. On April 12, Putin said peace talks reached a "dead end." He said he wouldn't end his so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine until he achieved all his goals. Three days later, Russia launched a new round of rocket attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. For the first time since withdrawing its troops from the region. Since then, attacks in Kharkiv intensified; Russian soldiers are preparing for a new attack on the Donbas region. Putin decided to destroy all the cities in Ukraine that resisted his invasion. He cares little about the lives of civilians and the economic future of the country he seems to be trying to save.
The Fate of Ukraine and Russia
It seems that an even worse fate awaits Mariupol now in the hands of Russia. The population of the strategic port city was always in favor of Moscow. Even after the start of the 2014 war, It continued to vote for parties close to Russia. However, although they were not enthusiastic about Ukraine gradually moving away from Russia, Mariupol residents never wanted to conduct a Russian military operation in the city.
After nearly two months of indiscriminate bombing and heavy fighting, Mariupol is in ruins. Thousand people died, and almost no infrastructure was left to survive after the battle. All Ukrainians living in Ukrainian-controlled and Russian-occupied territories will continue to have the devastating economic impact of Russian aggression for a very long time. The Western economic war against Russia will undoubtedly continue, not limited to a significant change in Russian policy or leadership – and will complicate these financial challenges.
However, the West can punish Russia economically for its current aggression. Also, ensure that it compensates for its damage to Ukraine and the economy. In order to achieve this, Western countries must seize Russian assets and compile a book of costs incurred from the Ukrainian invasion, both direct and indirect damage. Of course, Moscow will fight any such effort with a nail-biter, and it has experience. For example, under existing law, Moscow successfully avoided paying more than $50 billion in compensation to former shareholders of its once-leading oil company Yukos, which it nationalized in 2004.
In addition, Ukraine's foreign debts must review on Russia's balance sheet; To expose the economic bleeding in the country. These debts should not stay there forever. However, when Moscow aspires to a dirty default, despite the low debt-to-GDP ratio, which makes them responsible for Moscow, At least for now – Moscow may encourage to make concessions. While all these measures will implement, restoring Ukraine will require investment and support from the West. Therefore, besides Russia paying for what it did, Western countries should also develop a "Marshall Plan" for Ukraine.
Marshall's first plan revived the European economy after World War II and created lucrative investment opportunities for American firms, finally, for new capital markets. The goal of the Marshal of Ukraine will do the same. Investors damaged by Ukraine's crisis may get advantageous terms. More countries can join Poland in offering swap lines in Ukrainian currency. State-sponsored long-term investment programs can also be established; they will receive support from official development financial institutions.
The West is assuredly waging an economic war contra Russia. However, there is a legitimate concern that some countries, including the US, are still not fully committed to this "war effort." If Ukraine wants to withstand this invasion and rebuild its economy, the West must do everything to help Ukraine and weaken Russia – at least economically. To this end, a new "financial NATO" must be formed to help minimize the cost of imposing Russian sanctions on Ukraine's allies.
None of these steps will resume growth and stop the constant pain caused by the Russian war. However, they can ensure that the Western economic war against Russia will cause maximum damage to the Kremlin and provide the necessary assistance to the Ukrainians.

When the very first Congress created by the Constitution adjourned, which it did this week (Sept. 30) in 1789, it had faced — and miraculously passed — its first great test. That test, naturally, had to do with power — who had it and in what form.
Recall that when the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 finally produced our Constitution, many of the more controversial issues dealing with government power had been papered over with vague Constitutional language, or no language at all. The expectation was that, once the Constitution was ratified and a government was in place, those thorny issues would be resolved.
Small wonder that in 1789 America's government was called "George Washington and a blank piece of paper." Filling in the blanks would take work, and practically everything done would set a precedent that would be followed for years, if not centuries, to come.
Including the "executive departments," or what today we call the president's Cabinet. The Constitution says that the heads of these departments will be appointed by the president but with the consent of the Senate, a procedure that still exists today. What the Constitution does not say, however, is whether or not — given that the Senate has the power to approve a department head's appointment — it also has the power to veto his (or her) dismissal.
In 1789, the Senate thought it did have that power. George Washington did not.
Washington feared that if the Senate could keep in power a department head — say, the secretary of state — even though the president wanted him dismissed because he was pursuing policies contrary to the president's wishes, then the presidency would be a figurehead. The real power would belong to Congress, and the president's own Cabinet members would be more beholden to the legislative branch than the executive.
When the issue came before the House of Representatives, Washington's great ally (and my hero) James Madison persuaded its members that empowering the Senate to veto presidential dismissals of department heads was a bad idea, but — unsurprisingly — the Senate saw the issue differently.
There the debate was passionate and fractious, and after much politicking the final vote produced a tie, which — as the Constitution also directs — Vice President John Adams broke by voting against Senate veto power over a president's decision to dismiss Cabinet heads.
A crisis was averted, but imagine if someone other than George Washington, the most trusted and popular man in America, had been president at the time. The debate surely would have gone the other way, both fundamentally altering the balance of power among the three branches of government and changing forever our political process.
Yet another example of Washington's critical importance to the birth of our nation.

EDINBURGH LABOUR MPS CALL ON PUBLIC TO BACK HIGH SPEED RAIL
Edinburgh Labour MPs Ian Murray, Sheila Gilmore and•Mark Lazarowicz have today called on residents to show their support for high speed rail.
This follows a report in The Spectator that predicted the Government was set to make a U-turn on its commitment to build HS2. It asserted that there was 'a lack of enthusiasm among the people it was supposed to impress: northerners, Midlanders and business.'
Under the Government's current plans an initial line from London to the West Midlands will be up and running by 2026. This will be extended to Leeds and Manchester by 2033/34. Trains will travel at speeds of up to 225mph.
Passengers in Scotland will benefit immediately as the high speed network will be linked to existing lines, meaning trains will continue up to Edinburgh and Glasgow at conventional speeds. Once the second phase is complete, the Edinburgh to London journey will be cut by an hour to 3 hours 30 minutes.
Sheila Gilmore said:
'Recent media reports have suggested that the Government is set to make a U-turn on its commitment to build HS2 because there is 'a lack of enthusiasm among the people it was supposed to impress'.
'This is completely untrue.'
'Passengers in Scotland support high speed rail because of the journey time savings and the economic benefits it will bring.'
Mark Lazarowicz said:
'Scottish Labour MPs have been calling on the Government to build the second phase beyond Leeds and Manchester and on to Edinburgh and Glasgow. While it would be disappointing if the Government fails to do so, it would be a disaster if the project were dropped altogether.'
'From my discussions with businesses, council representatives, and individual constituents, I can say with confidence that support for HS2 and its early extension to Scotland is as strong as ever'
Ian Murray said:
'HS2 will benefit Scotland from the outset, and those benefits will be boosted if the project is extended to Edinburgh Glasgow.'
'Following these false and inaccurate media reports, people in places that stand to gain from high speed rail need to send a clear signal to Government that they back the project.'
'That's why today we are encouraging Edinburgh residents to show their support by going to•www.campaignforhsr.com/signup<http://www.campaignforhsr.com/signup><http://www.campaignforhsr.com/signup>.'

GETTING TRIPLE HELIX SYSTEMS TO WORK IN EMERGING MARKETS
The talk covered the following themes, using South Africa as an example of an emerging market struggling (from our perspective) to create a coherent national system of innovation:
 Overview of the THS and OI activities RIIS is undertaking;
 Organic vs synthetic development of triple helix interactions;
 Resource allocation by TH actors in emerging markets (as seen
in Southern Africa), and impact on innovation activities
 Constraints on effective interactions, and impact on
collaborative innovation efforts;
 Potential solutions to dealing with each of constraint.

TRIPLE HELIX COLLABORATION IN THE MAKING? – CASE STUDIES FROM SOUTHERN AFRICA
Innovation is widely seen as the driver and catalyst of economic growth and well-being in modern societies. Innovation ecosystems describe the diverse array of participants and resources that are interrelated, contribute to, and are necessary for innovation advancement towards and in a knowledge-based economy. This ecosystem encompasses companies, entrepreneurs, investors/financiers, researchers, universities/higher education units and the public sector in different forms and levels. In many cases the University-Industry-Government collaboration mechanism triangle forms an anchor and a key approach to the functioning of these ecosystems.
It can be argued that in Southern Africa to a large extent the national and regional innovation ecosystems are still largely emerging and to some extent in infant phase. For the region and countries to move towards innovation and knowledge-driven economies, these innovation ecosystems needs to be built up and operations enhanced.
This presentation strived to respond to the following questions:
 How is University-Industry-Government (Triple Helix) collaboration portrayed in Southern Africa?
 What are the key challenges and opportunities related to Triple Helix interactions and collaboration in an emerging innovation ecosystem?
 What policy, funding and implementation instruments should
be developed and used to strengthen University-Industry- Government collaboration in emerging innovation ecosystems?
The material has been compiled around a regional innovation development programme, The Southern Africa Innovation Support programme (SAIS, www.saisprogramme.com), aiming at supporting national and regional innovation systems in the SADC region by bringing together the elements of the systems of innovation in each participating pilot country: Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia. The duration of the programme phase I has been April 2011 up to December 2015. The total budget mainly financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland is about 8 MEUR.

Dr Rideout holds the MPP from the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy, and a PhD in Psychology from NC State University, where she is a Kauffman Fellow, a Kauffman Emerging Scholar, and Adjunct Professor.
INNOVATION U 2.0 REINVENTING UNIVERSITY ROLES IN A KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
While all successful universities can point to entrepreneurial ventures that have spun out from university research to the benefit of local economies and society in general, nonetheless it's surprising how much research universities vary in their ability to commercialize their own scientific and technological breakthroughs. Many US universities capitalize on core research competencies to help grow technology clusters, others, not so much. Similarly, there exists an astonishing variation in curricular offerings in entrepreneurship and student venturing. As co-author of Innovation U 2.0, Reinventing University Roles in a Knowledge Economy, Dr Rideout highlighted how successful universities catalyze venturing both at the faculty, student, and community levels. What strategies, practices and policies can universities adapt to up their innovation production and economic impacts?
PROFESSOR RICCARDO FINI
Professor Riccardo Fini is an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Management and CIG Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Bologna (UNIBO), and Fellow at Imperial College London. He is serving as Associate Dean and Director of the Master in Entrepreneurship and of the Global MBA (Innovation) at the Bologna Business School.

Dr Fini has given three keynotes on science and public policy in Brisbane, Porto, and Singapore, and invited to present his research in thirty universities and business schools in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. He was featured in Nature, Times Higher Education and The New York Times.
ENGAGEMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION: DISCUSSING THE IMPACT OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH, THE CASE OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
The talk focussed on recent findings emerging from an innovative study of academic engagement and commercialisation at Imperial College London. The study combines a wide range of data to provide insights into the extent of collaboration with industry, consulting, patenting and entrepreneurship by Imperial academics, as well as individuals' motivations and perceived barriers to engagement. One of the most interesting insights coming from the research is how patenting, licensing, and spin-outs capture only a small component of the pathwa ys to University' s impact. The presentation shed light coming from the Imperial College London case on how to transform the way Universities measure, manage, and organise research in order to generate higher impact.
