Jason Gibson's Letter to Michael Jordan
May 12, 2012 May 12, 2012 Scotty & Evan
The official "Bring Back the Buzz" logo
There has been a lot of talk for many years about rebranding the Charlotte Bobcats. I'm sure you've heard it. In fact, you've addressed this subject at least twice that I have read. The first time was in an interview with the Charlotte Business Journal shortly after you were introduced as owner.
Michael Jordan On the Bobcats nickname:
"I'm open for anything. It's a commitment — we have to go through the league. It's a process. It's a financial commitment. Am I willing to look at that and say, "Can we go down that road?" Yeah. If I get the understanding from the public that we need that — and it signifies change, yeah, I would do that. But once again, it's a process. It's a $3 million to $10 million investment to do that. I'm not afraid of that as long as, at the backside of that, I think the public is going to be happy about it, I think it's going to be great for the organization, I think it's going to be a new beginning. I would consider that."
Next in your January, 2012 Chairman's Corner Q & A on Bobcats.com
Carson in Gastonia said that he heard that if enough support was raised we would ask the league about trying to get the Hornets nickname. "That would be a very complicated and expensive process, and judging by what we've heard from fans it does not appear that there is the groundswell of support that many people believe there is."
After reading the first article, I was really excited and hopeful that we could rid ourselves of the Bobcats nickname that has never resonated with very many Charlotte area fans. My hopes took a bit of a hit when I read your Chairman's Corner letter but, I understood that the "Hornets" belonged to another team and getting it back would be next to impossible. I still held out hope that you would make a change but, realized that a name change to anything other than Hornets most likely wasn't worth your investment. I reluctantly began to realize that we were stuck with the "Bobcats" name.
Who would have ever imagined that the owner of the most hated NFL team to most Carolina Panthers fans, could also be the man to breathe life back into our NBA dreams? "We want to change the name from Hornets to something that means New Orleans and Louisiana," Tom Benson said. Just typing that makes me smile. Just typing that stirs emotions from deep within. Emotions that I thought died when my team was taken from me.
The great thing about having those emotions stirred was realizing that I wasn't alone. No, there were many, many other fans that were invigorated by the chance that our first love could really be coming home. Suddenly, the local newscasts, newspaper articles, radio shows, fan message boards, twitter, and facebook were flooded with the excitement that Hugo could be coming home. A grassroots effort coined "Bring Back The Buzz" has organized support rallies, there is even a documentary being filmed to capture the excitement. A recent online poll conducted by the Charlotte Observer had over 10,000 respondents of which, 84% favored the Hornets nickname. Not only did the "Hornets" win in a landslide, those that favored the "Bobcats" came in at only 3%, trailing behind "Cougars" and "I Don't Care."
The groundswell that you didn't believe existed has suddenly and furiously grown into a great Tsunami.
The fans speaking up and pleading for change isn't a new phenomenon in Charlotte's NBA history. You see, the Hornets were originally going to be called the Spirit. When George Shinn and his ownership group announced that Spirit would be the nickname of Charlotte's expansion franchise in 1987, the fans voiced their displeasure. Shinn decided to sponsor another name-the-team contest and had fans vote on six finalists. More than 9,000 ballots were cast and Hornets won by a landslide, beating out Knights, Cougars, Spirit, Crowns, and Stars.
When the "Bobcats" name was chosen, again there was disappointment but, this time the owner didn't offer the fans an alternative. This was Bob's Team, this was Bob's Cats. I think your old teammate summed up what many of us Charlotteans felt. "It sounds like a girls' softball team to me," Steve Kerr told reporters. "I guess it shows there aren't many good nicknames left to be had."
"There's a pride that comes with being here, and a respect for tradition that makes this a special place."… "I want to build a connection between this team and this community"… "I'll be bringing plenty of ideas and resources to the table but, I'm also here to listen. Your feedback is important to me because at the end of the day, this is your team too."
Those are your words, from your letter to fans on March 21, 2010. I was excited by those words because I believed them. I believed that you would do anything you could to ignite this fan base, I believed that if the fans wanted something and it was within your control- that you would make it happen. If this is really our team too, please listen to us, please bring Hugo home, please "Bring Back The Buzz", please bring the Hornets home to Charlotte.
Jason Gibson
(Please see post script below)
Dateline: Nov 15th 1996
This date most likely doesn't stick out in your mind but, I remember it like it was yesterday. I mean who doesn't remember the day that they got to meet the person they idolized? There I was sitting at the baseline for the Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Hornets game; I was watching the team that I had loved for so long playing against the greatest player to ever play the game. I must admit that although I was a diehard Hornets fan, I was pulling for you to score 100 points but, I wanted the Hornets to score 101. You see no matter how much I wanted you to personally succeed; I wanted my Hornets to win even more. Despite a sold-out Hive of 24,042 fans, your Bulls were too much to overcome. As soon as the final buzzer sounded, I was able to sneak past security and to catch up with you right before you made your way into the tunnel… "Excuse me, Mr. Jordan. Can I please have your autograph" I excitedly said. Your reply, "Not right now, maybe next time". I walked away dejected, when would I ever get a chance to have Michael Jordan sign something again?
Michael, I'm ready to cash in my "maybe next time". Only this time I don't want your autograph on something of mine, I want your autograph on the contract that officially makes the Charlotte Hornets a reality again.
Tom Benson has offered up the greatest assist in the history of Charlotte basketball… Can you still finish?

Gartner re-affirms Nutanix leadership in HCI category
By Paul Updike
[G1] Gartner scores Nutanix Enterprise Cloud on the solution criteria for HCI
Gartner, Inc., one of the world's most respected research and advisory firms, released its 2021 Gartner® Solution Scorecard for Nutanix® Enterprise Cloud[2] [3] [G4] . This report scores Nutanix based on criteria for HCI solutions. Nutanix continues to build its HCI stack, extend capabilities to Hybrid Multi-cloud, and grow and extend its partnerships in enterprise data centers with HPE Greenlake® and in Cloud Native and container capabilities with Red Hat OpenShift®, Google Anthos™, and Microsoft ARC™ solutions. Through this growth and extension we are reminded that the core HCI capabilities of the Nutanix solution remains a strong and evolving foundation.
One of the main values of HCI is the abstraction of hardware and the resulting simplification in daily use. This has been a strength since Nutanix first shipped a product in 2012. [G5] This continues to be a design goal at Nutanix that is consistent across the product portfolio.
At the core of Nutanix's operations model is the user interface, Prism™. Prism manages resources within a cluster as well as cross-cluster capabilities. From a single UI, a user can create VMs, manage networking, set DR policies, automate tasks, perform AI driven capacity planning, and many other tasks. [G6]
The Nutanix attention to detail and user experience continues to drive the product ahead. Prism remains a focus and one of the first things a customer will notice that sets Nutanix apart.
If you wish to read the report, it is available from Gartner. To see how Nutanix compares with other HCI vendors you can review the Dec 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant [G7] [G8] for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software. Finally, to see first-hand why Nutanix continues to be a Leader in HCI, you can take a Nutanix Test Drive for free.

A typographical error is responsible for bringing an Arizona man on an improbable ski trip to Vermont this upcoming MLK weekend. The story has drawn national attention, and Bonnie MacPherson can't help but laugh at the irony.
The man at the center of the story, Will Novak, received an invitation in error to a bachelor party being thrown at Okemo (the invitation was meant for a New York man with the same name). Rather than dismiss the opportunity, Novak embraced it – striking up a correspondence with the total strangers organizing the party and ultimately earning an invitation in earnest.
Novak then mounted a successful crowdsourcing campaign to finance his trip, raising more than $3,000 of a $750 goal as of Tuesday afternoon. Novak joked in his crowdsourcing post that he would likely need a ski lesson due to the fact that "being a desert dweller, I've only been skiing once and I was real bad at it." The timing for that aspect couldn't have been more perfect, according to MacPherson.
"What a gift it is to have crowd funding and social media bring Will Novak, the one from Phoenix, to Vermont, and specifically to Okemo to learn how to ski during National Learn-to-Ski Month," she said.
MacPherson said Okemo Ski + Ride School Director Chris Saylor "caught wind of the story" and reached out to Novak directly, setting up a private lesson that will help the unlikely visitor shake the rust off his skiing ability after a 19-year hiatus.
"Will Novak will be making his first turns in Okemo's Clock Tower base area this weekend," MacPherson said.
The notoriety Novak earned when his story went viral has resulted in a slew of offers of gifts, services and other perks during his trip. MacPherson said the Vermont Department of Travel and Tourism is sending a gift basket of Vermont-made products to present to Novak, and a Vermont-based tattoo artist offered to give him and the groom-to-be, Angelo, matching tattoos according to a story in the Washington Post.
MacPherson said as great as the tale is now, there is one final detail that would truly give it a storybook ending.
"The only thing that could make Angelo's bachelor party any better would be if Angelo and his bride returned to Vermont for an Okemo wedding," she said.


Michael Hastings dead at 33: Rolling Stone journalist dead in car crash.
BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith delivers some sad news: Michael Hastings died early Tuesday in a car crash in Los Angeles. He was 33.
Hastings is probably best known for his Rolling Stone piece that ultimately cost Gen. Stanley McChrystal his job as the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Hastings made a name for himself covering the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and previously worked for GQ and Newsweek. You can find his Rolling Stone archives here, his BuzzFeed stuff here, and his IAm Reddit thread from last year here.
Update at 7:46 p.m.: Rolling Stone has its obit up, which you can check out here.


The number of children identified as Out of School Children (OoSC) this year, is said to have increased by three times as compared to the previous year. This year as per a new methodology by the State Government, the number of students out of school is 44,000 while last year it was approximately at 13,000.
And these 44,000 have been identified even as the process is just under way, and officials say the numbers might go up by a few thousand by the end.
Earlier the State Government's methodology to find out how many students were out of school was sketchy. It was done at the school level wherein the teachers used to give the data to the department. Even a few non-profit organisations started giving out these numbers as they have been implementing various initiatives in schools. These numbers for over the last few years were around 13,000-17,000, considering only government and aided schools.
Recently, the government decided to take up all schools in the State including unaided schools because since the inception of Students Achievement Tracking System (SATS) all schools in the State can be tracked. The government started the work in November last year and was supposed to complete it by December 31, but the work is still going on.
Officials say that the drop-outs are always seen after a child completes higher primary but does not enrol for high school education.
A detailed action plan is going to be prepared by the State Government after the survey is done. The department wants to analyse the reasons why these numbers are not tallying in their SATS software and how by the next academic year these children can be brought back to school.
The State Government decided to do a more rigorous count after a calculation revealed that 17,66, 294 students in the state were actually out of school. BM even reported about this in April 2018. This number was arrived at on basis of the following: The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development released a projected number that in the age group of 6-17, the population of school children was 1,26,95,148. The Unified District Information System for Education (U-DISE) enrolment data for Karnataka showed that 1,09,28,854 children had enrolled in schools in 2016. This meant that 17,66,294 students were out of school.

'Sall Good, Man
Better Call Saul: The Truth About Chuck's Fate
Season 3's finale was ambiguous—but Michael McKean knows what happened to his character.
By Hillary Busis
Michele K. Short/AMC/Sony Pictures Television
This post contains spoilers for the third-season finale of Better Call Saul.
It's a rule as old as time, or at least as old as soap operas: never, ever, ever believe that a character is really, most sincerely dead unless you see the body. By that logic, it seems possible that Chuck McGill—who ended this year's Better Call Saul finale by spiraling out of recovery, then dramatically surrounding himself with flammable objects and setting his own house on fire—could survive to see Season 4. Saul show-runner Peter Gould certainly seems to want audiences to think this could be a possibility; he wouldn't confirm Chuck's death either on AMC's Talking Saul after-show or in a postmortem interview with Variety. "I don't want to define anything more than what's on screen," he explained, before pointing out that his show does what it can to avoid "schmuck bait"—i.e., "making it look like something really big happened to get people to keep watching, and then as soon as they keep watching you take it off the table."
Then again, by that logic, it'd be impossible for the show to move forward without definitively killing Chuck. (Unless he's just very badly burned.) And though Gould may be reluctant to confirm the fallen lawyer's demise—he wouldn't do it in a Deadline interview, either—the actor who plays Chuck, Michael McKean, is not. As he told Vulture, McKean learned Chuck's fate while driving: "I got a call on my cell from Peter [and] Vince [Gilligan]. I said, 'If this is the death call, I'm going to pull over.' And that's what I did. I pulled into the parking lot of the bookstore and I called them back and they told me what they had planned. They told me they had laughed about what I had said, but they had to deliver it."
And when asked by The New York Times whether Chuck is "definitely a goner," McKean replied bluntly: "I am. I know they want to bring me in for some flashbacks this coming season, but that's kind of beside the point."
So yes: after three seasons of scowling, scheming, and questionably verifiable electricity-induced psychosis, Chuck McGill—one of the most compellingly odious characters on television, Jimmy's brother and burden and greatest antagonist—has died, in a particularly horrible fashion.
Dark as it was, though, his death was always something of an inevitability. As McKean told Vulture, "It seemed like this was kind of the end of Chuck's chapter in the life of Jimmy McGill-slash-Saul Goodman. It's almost like the rock and a hard place—they can't be too comfy together for too long or else you have to ask, what is the point of having Chuck?" Now that Chuck is gone, Jimmy has one less anchor holding him back from breaking bad himself—especially given his last conversation with his brother, a particularly nasty interaction in which Chuck expertly listed Jimmy's flaws ("You're just going to keep hurting people, it's what you do") before sending him off with a particularly nasty lie: "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but the truth is you never meant all that much to me."
Yeesh. If you're eager for more of that, know, at least, that McKean will be back on Saul in some form when the show returns: "We're not done with the character Chuck McGill. But on our show, that could mean a lot of things, because we have the ability to go back and forth in time," Gould told Variety. Which means Chuck will live to sneer again in flashbacks—fire or no fire.

Q: Setting a shell variable from stdout *or* fallback if command fails My script calls an external command (e.g. readlink) which will either:

*

*write a useful string to its stdout on success, or…

*return a non-zero exit status on failure

I know how to do each individually, e.g. to capture the stdout I can use
MY_VAR=$(readlink /)

Or to check the result I could use:
if readlink /tmp; then
   echo "Success"
fi

But is there a clean/clear way to do both ± simultaneously? I'm not sure the following would work:
if MY_VAL=`readlink "$MY_ARG"`; then
    echo "Value is ${MY_VAL}"
else
    echo "Not found"
fi

UPDATE: so I tried that, and it did work. But is it only a coincidence, e.g. happens to work because readlink's output is empty at the same time it errors?
As a particular constraint, I need to do this in an environment where set -e is specified, i.e. if other commands return an error the overall script will fail. Generic shell preferred, unless bash has a better mechanism.

A: Just:
if MY_VAR=$(readlink /); then
   echo "Success"
fi

Command substitution return status is the return status of the last command executed (or the return status of the subshell executed inside). So $(true; false;) returns nonzero status. The return status of a line with command substitution is equal to the last executed command. So:
 a=$(true)$(false)

will always return nonzero return status. But:
 a=$(false)$(true)

will return a zero return status, because the last executed command substitution command is true which returns a zero status.
It's normal in scripts to do if var=$(...); then which allows for checking the return status of a command while saving it's standard output.
Don't use backticks `. They are the same as $( .. ) but are less readable, can't be nested and are deprecated.

A: You can check the exit status of your last command executed with $?  In shell and see if it holds 0 for success or 1 for failure

A: So my "wish it worked like this example" is correct!
if MY_VAL=$(readlink "$MY_ARG"); then
    echo "Value is ${MY_VAL}"
else
    echo "Not found"
fi

The reason is that the "exit code" of a variable assignment like this is the exit code of the command inside. The variable assignment happens and the exit status is propagated, on both success and failure.

Ranch company faulted
By Pacific Coast Business Times Staff Thursday, August 21st, 2008
A Ventura County jury found that the La Conchita Ranch Co.'s failure to build a sufficient drainage system was partly to blame for a 2005 landslide that killed 10 people and caused major disruption to Highway 101, the Tri-Counties' main transportation artery, according to published reports.
The ranch manager and the county were cleared. Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that the ranch, which grows lemons and avocados above the tiny town of La Conchita, allowed too much of that year's rains to soak into its soil. The ranch argued that the area isn't stable, pointing to previous mud slides.
The ranch won't face punitive damages because the jury found it wasn't reckless. It could take as long as a month for the jury to decide on damages.

Q: Angular 6 ngb-bootstrap modal not showing because of bootstrap css contained for a div I know there are lots of questions regarding modal not showing and I have it working in places already, but this one is different!
I have a Wordpress project where I am showing an Angular app in the admin. The app has Bootstrap 4 used. So I did not want to effect the Wordpress admin with the Bootstrap 4 css when the Angular app loads.
To make it work, I used a method where the app is wrapped by a div with a class="bootstrap" and I used less to convert the bootstrap css such that it all is surrounded by the .bootstrap class. Therefore a class .text-danger is written like .bootstrap .text-danger and it works perfect! My admin is not effected by the bootstrap css and yet the angular app inside the admin is isolated.
Now the problem is when I try to add ngb-modal to the game! It apparently adds the modal and its backdrop elements right before the body tag which is outside the bootstrap wrapper div and therefore the isolated css does not apply on these elements.
Is there a way that when I call the modal like below, it is added with a wrapping div element like this
...ngb-modal code here...
?
const modalRef = this.modalService.open(MyModalComponent);

I hope I explained the issue well!

A: I found the solution!
It is to call the modal like this:
// Create modal options
const modalOptions: NgbModalOptions = {
    container: '#id_my_bootstrap_container'
};

// Show the modal
const modalRef = this.modalService.open(MyModalComponent, modalOptions);

The div should have the id applied:

...ngb-modal code here...

This will create the modal inside that div instead of creating it under body tag and thus the modal css applies to it even if it is prefixed by bootstrap class.

At a construction site in Mexico City, a fatal workplace accident triggers a chain of events involving the wealthy owner of the house being built and Francisco (Luis Alberti), brother of the dead man and also a worker on the site.

115 minutes (not reviewed)
PHOTO: LUCASFILM
This year is the 40th anniversary of the movie that opens with an action sequence that is seared into the memories of those who saw it in a cinema for the first time in 1981.
Raiders, directed by Steven Spielberg, spawned three more films and a television series but none of the follow-ups enjoyed the first film's impact or fan adulation. This re-release, the latest in a series of collaborations between the Singapore Film Society (SFS), Golden Village Cineplexes and film distributors Park Circus, comes in a restored 4K format.
Where: GV VivoCity
When: July 17, 24 and 31, 7pm

121 minutes, streaming on Netflix, 5 stars
PHOTO: NETFLIX
Just added to Netflix is this ground-breaking 1973 film that became the first work of horror to receive a nomination for an Academy Award in the Best Picture category. Not only was it a massive commercial success and a cultural phenomenon, but it also triggered debates over its explicit depictions of demonic possession involving child actress Linda Blair. Director William Friedkin, working with a screenplay by William Peter Blatty based on the latter's best-selling novel, also made the inspired choice of using progressive rock musician Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells in the soundtrack.

Jeremy Meciaz Vows Never To Quit At ONE: TOTAL VICTORY
If fans want to know about Indonesian martial artist Jeremy "Predator" Meciaz's family tree, they had better stay focused and take good notes.
His great-grandfather was a Japanese soldier who married a Dutch-Indonesian woman in Java during Japan's World War II occupation of Indonesia.
Also, his grandfather married an ethnic-Chinese Indonesian woman, and Meciaz himself grew up in the historic Central Java city of Surakarta.
"We had mixed influences – Japanese, Chinese and Javanese," he says. "But I am all about local wisdom. I am an all-Indonesia person."
The 25-year-old grappling champion's Indonesian pride will soon be stronger than ever, as he steps into the cage at ONE: TOTAL VICTORY. Taking place at the Jakarta Convention Center on Saturday, 16 September, Meciaz will perform in front of a raucous home crowd.
The Indonesian grappling champion will face Asian boxing champion Hisyam "Zephyrus" Samsudin of Malaysia, who is also seeking his first promotional win.
"Competing in Indonesia means I have more responsibility than in another country. And a bit more pressure," Meciaz says. "I will never give up in this bout. I will not tap out. I would rather die than lose here in Indonesia."
"Predator" neither gave up nor tapped out in his debut at ONE: DYNASTY OF HEROES this past May in Singapore, but he still lost by TKO in round one to "Rock Man" Chen Lei (6-0), in what was a furious battle from the opening bell.
Meciaz had Chen in a heel hook less than 30 seconds into the stanza, and desperately tried to score a quick submission win. However, "Rock Man" showed incredible toughness to escape, before taking the Indonesian to the ground and ending the match with a flurry of hammer fists.
"I ran out of gas. I was too focused on his leg, and he was stronger than me," Meciaz explains, adding that nerves might have played a role, given that it was his professional debut.
While Meciaz has learned many things in life from his mixed ancestry, he only recently learned about his familial connection to martial arts.
His great-grandfather was a judo practitioner who studied under Jigoro Kano, the legendary founder of judo, while growing up in Japan. He would later help introduce judo into Central Java during the war, but the "Predator" himself never took a lesson during his childhood.
Born into a middle class family in Surakarta, Meciaz's father works as a construction contractor, while his mother owns a hair and beauty salon. He had a relatively normal upbringing, for which he remains extremely thankful.
"We were not poor, but we were not rich," he says. "I was thankful to God for what we had."
Although his parents and younger brother never trained in the martial arts, Meciaz fell in love with it after the first time he saw it on television in 2002.
Three years later, having viewed Indonesian martial arts icons such as his hero Linson Simanjuntak, a 13-year-old Meciaz started going to a local gym in Surakarta.
He brought with him, however, a reputation as a teenaged street brawler, something that his first trainer Yohan Mulia Legowo, who is also an athlete competing in ONE Championship, quickly put an end to.
"I was still fighting on the streets, but once he found out, he got really angry, and forbade me to brawl anymore," Meciaz explains. "After that, I was more disciplined, and I started entering competitions. For me, without competition, there is really no point in training."
Meciaz was fortunate that Legowo lived in Surakarta, and believed in second chances. He was also lucky to have another positive influence in his life in his hometown: Joko Widodo, the President of Indonesia.
Back in 2005, Widodo, a native of Surakarta, was the city's popular mayor.
"I grew up in the same neighborhood that he did," Meciaz says. "When he was the mayor, he would see me on the street cutting school, and told me to get back to class."
Evidently, those positive influences have made a difference in his life, as "Predator" is now on the right track, and representing his country on the global stage in ONE Championship.
While Saturday's bout, is a classic striker versus grappler match-up on paper, "Predator" is more than ready to stand against Samsudin.
"I am not afraid to box. If I can take him to the ground, I will, of course," he says, adding that he is also prepared to handle the pressure of competing before a partisan Indonesian audience.
"I am already used to the crowd from my first match, so I do not think it will affect me this time."

Gyula Kosice vagy Fernando Fallik, eredeti neve: Falk Gyula (Kassa, 1924. április 26. – Buenos Aires, 2016. május 25.) magyar gyökerekkel rendelkező argentin író, költő, szobrász és teoretikus, a kinetikus szobrászat és a fényművészet egyik úttörője, a MADI művészeti mozgalom egyik elindítója.

Életpályája

1924-ben született Kassán egy magyar-zsidó családban, három fiú közül a másodikként. Anyja Berger Eta, apja Falk József szabó volt, távolabbi felmenői svájci órások voltak. Neve felvett művésznév szülőhelye iránti tiszteletből. Apja a csehszlovák állam megalakulása után egy újabb világháborútól való félelmében emigrált. A család 1928-ban követte Argentínába, Buenos Airesbe.  A hosszú tengeri út az akkor négyéves Kosiceban életre szóló élményeket keltett. Tízéves korában elvesztette a szüleit, munkába állt, elemi tanulmányait sem fejezte be. Autodidaktának tartja magát.

A művészeti világba Alberto Hidalgo költő vezette be, aki támogatta a versírásban, és más művészeknek, szobrászoknak, festőknek, zenészeknek is bemutatta.

1944-ben jelent meg az Arturo művészeti magazin, ami később a MADI mozgalom egyik alapdokumentuma lett. Az egyetlen számot megélt lapot Carmelo Arden Quin, Edgard Bayley és Kosice szerkesztette, a borítóját Tomas Maldonado tervezte. Ugyanebben az évben készítette első mozgó, kinetikus szobrát Röyi címmel. A szerkesztők a MADI csoportot 1946-ban alapították meg, többek között Martin Blaszkóval, Rhod Rothfuss-szal és Lucio Fontanaval. Kosice részt vett a MADI manifesztum kidolgozásában, s máig éles vita van közte és Arden Quin között, hogy a kiáltványt melyikőjük fogalmazta meg. Bár 1948-ban még résztvevője volt a párizsi Salón des Réalités Nouvelles kiállításnak, ahol a dél-amerikai MADI művészek mutatkoztak be az európai közönségnek, a csoport tagjai hamarosan elváltak. Pályáját azóta egyedül folytatja.

A negyvenes években a világon először használt neont objektjeihez. Kidolgozta a hydrokinetizmus elméletét, monumentális vízsétányokat, vízfalakat, vízszobrokat tervez. Munkáiban ötvözi mindezt a fényművészettel, amit luminal art-nak nevez. 1971-ben publikálta újabb kiáltványát The Hydrospatial City Manifest címmel. Ebben egy fenntarthatóbb fejlődés érdekében újfajta építészeti és városfejlesztési koncepciót javasol azzal együtt, hogy a művészet még inkább hatoljon be a mindennapi életbe.

Az elmúlt évtizedekben félszáz egyéni és félezer csoportos kiállításon szerepelt. Alkotásai köztereken, múzeumokban és gyűjteményekben minden földrészen megtalálhatók. 15 esszé- és irodalmi, verses könyvet publikált.

Értékelése

Korai éveiben a Bauhaus és az orosz konstruktivizmus hatott rá, Moholy-Nagy Lászlót egyik mesterének tartja. Vonzódott a szürrealizmushoz is, különösen Aragon és Lautréamont költészetéhez. Victor Vasarelyt közelről ismerte. Művészete a magyar származású Nicolas Schöfferével mutat rokonságot. Ligeti György zenéjét gyakran hallgatja. Munkáiban a fény, a víz és a mozgás jelenik meg, részben mint terek és felületek, részben mint szimbólumok, amelyek a gyermekkori tengeri utazást idézik.

1943-ban az elsők között készített mobil szobrot, 1946-ban a világon elsőként jelentkezett neon-szobrokkal és objektekkel, 1949-ben pedig hidrokinetikus alkotásokkal. Számtalan díjat és kitüntetést szerzett, köztük a francia állam Művészet és Irodalom Lovagja díjat, valamint Buenos Aires díszpolgári címét. Mozgalom alapító tevékenységét Magyarországon a MADI art periodical több cikke is méltatta.

Among the group was Paul Law, MD, an American doctor who was returning to his roots. His grandparents served at Wembo-Nyama from 1950 to 1964, and constructed the hospital. The aging building is decaying, and he and the group were there to assess what repairs needed to be made.
The hospital serves the village of 19,000 and, on a wider scale, the entire Wembo-Nyama Health Zone, which consists of 100,000 people. In its current state, the hospital only has enough beds for 60 patients, but it has potential capacity for 200. While the structure was deemed solid, there's a lot of work to be done. The group determined the rehabilitation project will take two or three years to complete—and propel the hospital closer to its full potential.
These improvements will allow the hospital to meet requirements for Congo Protestant University's (UPC) rural hospital internship program. More importantly, the upgrades will benefit the area residents, as it will allow the hospital to serve more people.
It's likely that 9Q-CMO will be called on again for future flights related to this ongoing project, and later as it brings in UPC students to prepare for serving this vast country. The Cessna Caravan is more than happy to oblige, since it means health care will be available for more people in this remote village, surrounding area, and throughout Congo as a whole. And your adoption is making this possible! Thank you for supporting 9Q-CMO and, in turn, blessing the Congolese people.
Please continue to pray for 9Q-CMO's pilots and passengers, as well as the Methodist Mission hospital and this important project.

Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch's credit rating companies recently completed the 2017 annual re-evaluation on Sinochem Hong Kong (Group) Company Limited (SHK). All of the three international rating companies agreed that SHK's position as a core subsidiary of Sinochem Group maintained the original credit rating unchanged, i.e. A-/A-/A respectively and the outlook was stable.
The rating agencies stated in their report that as the only overseas investment and financing platform of Sinochem Group, SHK plays a key role in the overall strategic development of Sinochem Group and would continue to serve as an important platform for Sinochem Group's overseas investment and business development.

UCSF's Preliminary Utility Plant (PUP) serves 4 research lab buildings. It had common problems: low delta-T and inefficient staging. It also lacked sufficient capacity for a planned 5th lab building. Four projects solved these problems. The first improved plant staging, reset pressure/temperature using building feedback, and optimized pumps. Three additional projects retro-commissioned buildings, focusing on reducing CHW flow. Results: significant efficiency improvement and deferral of capacity investment. Data analytics help ensure ongoing performance.

A Robust Multiple Watermarking Scheme for Still Image using DWT, DCT and Spread Spectrum
Wen Yuan Chen, Chin-Hsing Chen, Jzau Sheng Lin
In this paper, the spread spectrum (SS) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT) are used to construct a robust multiple image watermarking scheme. The wavelet decomposition algorithm subdivided the frequency of the host image into low-low, low-high, high-low, high-high frequency bands. However, the low-low frequency band is the most important band, because the energy of the image is concentrated within it. Further we let the low-low band transfer by DCT, then the watermarks bits stream modulated by SS are concealed into those coefficients of DCT block. Before embedding, the watermarks are chaotic by toral automorphism firstly then rearrange into bits stream. While the SS processing, the pseudo-random number (PN) sequence is employed to finish the job. From experiment results shown that our proposed scheme is robust, imperceptible, unambiguous, and non-removable under attacks such as JPEG lossy compression, cropping, rotation, painting, and resizing.

Saving energy may be one of the simplest things you can do to go green. While you may spend a little money for some of these ideas, many are simply a change of habit.
1. Switch to CFLs as old bulbs burn out.
While compact fluorescent bulbs do typically cost more than incandescent bulbs, you can get them more affordably in many places.
Some electric companies offer discounts on them. These may be available in local stores. I can often get my CFLs for about $1 per bulb. This is of course just for the basic ones, and if you have dimmer switches, ceiling fan lights or closed fixtures you may have to pay more.
However, each CFL should save you money over the life of the bulb. They use significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs and last longer in most cases.
2. Turn off unneeded lights.
Old advice, but still good. Even young children can be taught to turn off lights in rooms that aren't being used. Takes just a moment, it's free to do, saves money and energy.
Many appliances use power even when they're turned off. Many of them really don't need it, unless you need the clock still running or something.
If unplugging is too much effort, consider buying a smart power strip. These will shut down the power to electronics that are connected to each other. You can set one up so that shutting down the computer cuts to power to your monitor, printer and any other accessories, for example. Or turn off the TV and have the DVD player shut completely down. You'll probably want cable boxes and/or DVRs on a separate strip if they need power while the TV is off.
4. Use fans instead of the air conditioner.
Summer's over in some places, but not near me. We're still getting plenty of weather into the 90s.
A good fan works wonders for cutting down our use of air conditioning. It still gets plenty hot in the house, but by combining existing fans with building a tolerance for warmer weather we use the AC relatively little.
You can also figure out which of the windows allow the worst of the heat in. We block those windows with Mylar, and in one case even have a shade on the outside of the house to keep the heat out. Simple, but it makes a huge difference.
Similarly, in winter you can cut down on your heater use by dressing more warmly.
5. Buy Energy Star appliances when you need new ones.
It can be hard to say when it's worthwhile to replace an appliance that hasn't yet broken down. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. But when it's time, get the most efficient one that meets your needs. Energy Star products cost you a bit more upfront, but over time they will save you money.
Yes, old fashioned, and yes, it is forbidden in some areas to have clotheslines in your back yard. Silly rule in my opinion, but a reality some people have to deal with.
When the weather permits, a clothesline dries clothes fairly quickly and can be gentler on them than the dryer. It takes a bit of extra effort to get everything on the line and back down when it's dry, but you're not using any electricity by doing so.
Some people put clotheslines in their garage as well. This means you can line dry clothes regardless of the weather or HOA regulations.
It's amazing what you can do to save energy without spending a lot of money. But even more amazing is how quickly you can save enough to pay for what you've spent. Doing your bit for the environment can have some great advantages.
Published by Stephanie, in Eco Friendly Home, Environmentally Friendly. Tagged with cfls, saving energy.
There are some great ideas here; like you, I like to hang clothes on the line when the weather's being kind.
We've also had some success in keeping our heating bills down by improving the insulation in our attic. Have you tried that?
We rent, not own. I have no doubt it would help, though, especially in my son's room, which is the hottest in the house. When we finally own, energy efficient improvements will be a consideration.
You can only do so much if you are renting. You're lucky that you can have a clothesline when you are renting. Some landlords don't like that kind of thing!
My landlord's pretty tolerant. Then again, he's quite the do-it-yourselfer himself, which hasn't always been a good thing. He's not exactly good at it.
His comment on our yard and all the things we've done to make it more fun for the kids is that he's glad it's being used.
Like Stephine, we rent as well. We use a clothesline all year long, and use a fan whenever possible. When we move everything will be energy star-ed. I can't wait.

We'll punish aspirants who undermine incumbent MPs – Asiedu Nketia
The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has said that the party will sanction aspiring Members of Parliament who sabotage sitting MPs in their quest to capture their seats.
According to him, some aspirants are taking advantage of the absence of NDC MPs in their constituencies, to court disaffection for them.
Addressing the press on the party's Electoral timetable on Thursday, Mr. Nketia said although the party encourages competition, it will not countenance indiscipline from its ranks.
"The party is aware that even as they spend time undertaking this difficult task in Parliament, individuals have already taken advantage of their absence in the constituency to undermine them with the hope of unseating them in 2020…"
"I wish on behalf of the party to indicate that, while we accept the right of NDC members to aspire to any positions of the party including Member of Parliament, we send a note of caution to all aspirants at all levels to refrain from any act or conduct calculated to undermine our sitting members of parliament before the season for campaigning is formally opened," he said.
The NDC is undertaking series of activities as part of what it terms of a healing and re-conciliatory process to prepare it for electoral victory in the next general elections in 2020.
Some of the recent activities include series of peace walks led by former president, John Mahama, and a re-registration of members of the party.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said that the NDC is ready to take over power from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), following the latter's poor show of leadership and good governance of the country since it won the 2016 general elections.
