The future paths of population ageing result from specific combinations of declining fertility and increasing life expectancies in different parts of the world1. Here we measure the speed of population ageing by using conventional measures and new ones that take changes in longevity into account for the world as a whole and for 13 major regions. We report on future levels of indicators of ageing and the speed at which they change. We show how these depend on whether changes in life expectancy are taken into account. We also show that the speed of ageing is likely to increase over the coming decades and to decelerate in most regions by mid-century. All our measures indicate a continuous ageing of the world's population throughout the century. The median age of the world's population increases from 26.6 years in 2000 to 37.3 years in 2050 and then to 45.6 years in 2100, when it is not adjusted for longevity increase. When increases in life expectancy are taken into account2,3, the adjusted median age rises from 26.6 in 2000 to 31.1 in 2050 and only to 32.9 in 2100, slightly less than what it was in the China region in 2005. There are large differences in the regional patterns of ageing. In North America, the median age adjusted for life expectancy change falls throughout almost the entire century, whereas the conventional median age increases significantly. Our assessment of trends in ageing is based on new probabilistic population forecasts. The probability that growth in the world's population will end during this century is 88%, somewhat higher than previously assessed4. After mid-century, lower rates of population growth are likely to coincide with slower rates of ageing.

Editorial Summary
Growing old fast
The rate at which the world's population ages is important to policymakers, especially those dealing with pensions and healthcare. In particular, it is vital to anticipate periods of rapid change, when adjustments will be the most difficult. A new estimate of ageing trends in the global population combines traditional measures, based on a fixed age boundary, with new concepts of age. New concepts include a fixed remaining life expectancy, as today's 60 year old is 'younger' than a 60 year old from 1900 and has more years left to live. No matter how you look at it, the estimates are that the world's population is ageing with increasing speed. Global ageing is likely to peak between 2020 and 2030, and then decelerate, although there will be further increases in the level of ageing throughout the century. The timing of 'peak ageing' is based on past patterns of fertility. In the United States and in parts of Western Europe the 'baby boomers' are a big factor. In China, the timing of fertility control policies has a big influence.

For thousands of years, most sugar was consumed in the form of fruit that was only available in the summer months. Our bodies are not designed to process all the refined sugar most of us consume today – on average about 150 grams of sugar daily, or 15 times the amount consumed prior to the Industrial Revolution.
How does all of this sugar end up in our diet? Obvious sources include sodas, pastries and candies as well as sugar from insidious sources such as sauces, dressings and sugar bombs parading as health foods – flavored yogurts, granola bars and fruit juices. The American Heart Association now recommends limiting added sugar intake to 100 calories a day for women and 150 calories a day for men – a more conservative recommendation than the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which advises limiting added sugars to 10 percent of caloric intake.
Why is sugar so detrimental? Excess sugar in the body attaches to proteins, lipids and DNA, forming advanced glycation end products that can impair protein function, damage cellular membranes and lead to genetic instability. Sugar also causes the pancreas to release the hormone insulin, which binds to receptors on the cell surface, allowing glucose to enter the cell and lowering blood sugar levels.
Many people consuming high-sugar diets become insulin-resistant, meaning cells in the body no longer respond to insulin. This prevents glucose from entering cells, and blood sugar levels remain high. A vicious cycle starts, where the pancreas pumps out more insulin in a futile effort to reduce blood sugar levels while the cells starved of fuel needed for energy production send out signals for the body to eat more. All of this results in you feeling tired and hungry. Insulin also signals to the body to store excess sugar as fat, so when insulin is present, the body will not break down stored body fat.
Compared to sugar, fat is burned more efficiently by the energy-producing component of the cell known as the mitochondria. This means you get more energy from your food and fewer of the negative by-products known as reactive oxygen species. In excess, these free radicals can wreak havoc on your body – similar to the way advanced glycation end products do.
It's not just that sugar is bad for you, but dietary fat is actually vital for survival. Fat is needed for production of cell membranes and hormones and aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and beneficial plant metabolites such as polyphenols. However, not all fats are created equal. Contrary to popular belief, saturated fats are good for you and many polyunsaturated oils may actually be harmful.
Polyunsaturated oils from corn, safflower and soybean contain lots of omega-6 fatty acids, which are precursors to inflammatory compounds known as eicosanoids. Saturated fats, like those found in grass-fed butter and coconut oil, contain anti-inflammatory compounds. Other sources of healthy fats include avocados, nuts, seeds, egg yolks and grass-fed beef. And no worries if you can't give up sweets entirely: Natural sugar substitutes such as stevia, xylitol and monkfruit make for suitable replacements.
If you want to lose weight, increase energy levels, reduce inflammation and balance your hormones, you could investigate whether a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet is right for you. Two recently published books, one from Dave Asprey, "Head Strong," and another by Joseph Mercola, "Fat for Fuel," are great resources.

Sailing the seas of the world, green-powered
Two years after the round-the-world flight of Solar Impulse, the green journey continues over the seas with the catamaran Energy Observer
Achieving sustainable growth through advanced technological solutions and a responsible business model has always been a keystone in Prysmian industrial evolution. Always aware of the responsibility Prysmian has to the planet, the company's constantly aiming to help renewable industry partners by delivering cables that benefit the future of both our world and their businesses.
Prysmian has a long-standing leadership and expertise in providing sustainable solutions for energy production
Exploiting Solar energy is the next field in which testing the ability of the Group to provide efficient solutions for every possible application.
Prysmian has a long-standing leadership and expertise in providing sustainable solutions for energy production, being a strategic business partner for the biggest TSO companies involved in the development of the solar and the offshore industry, as well as the most important developers.
A commitment in the field proven by long-lasting and trouble-free attributes, offering innovative, sustainable and cost-effective cable solutions for the offshore renewable power sector. For instance, Prysmian cables have been used by the company's partner TenneT to connect five wind farms in the North Sea to mainland Europe: SylWin1, BorWin2, HelWin1, HelWin2, BorWin3.
In the last three years, Prysmian entered as a Specialised Partner in the Solar Impulse project, in which a special solar-powered plane landed in Abu Dhabi after successfully ending the first ever round-the-world flight using only the power of the sun. The Group was a crucial contributor to the milestone achievement in aviation by supplying of 150 km of special aerospace cables that distribute power around the aircraft. The epic journey of Solar Impulse began in 2015 from the same Abu Dhabi airport and touched Asia, Japan, Hawaii, the United States and North Africa, completing a world-round trip without burning a single drop of fuel.
The 17,000 solar cells integrated into the wings of this revolutionary airplane provided renewable energy to each of its four electric engines via the 150km of special aerospace cables made by Prysmian.
Today, the challenge moves to the seas, with Energy Observer, the world's first catamaran powered solely by renewable sources, presented at the Paris Air Show on 20 June 2017. Energy Observer and CEA Liten, the research institute that developed the project, have chosen Prysmian as the official supplier of cables which, through a high level of performance, reliability and light weight, provide energy generated from renewable sources – both wind and solar – to the vessel's motor.
Today, the challenge moves to the seas, with Energy Observer, the world's first catamaran powered solely by renewable sources
Victorien Erussard, a former merchant navy officer and a French sailing champion, has been appointed as the boat's captain, and said he wanted to circumnavigate the world with a powerful message, similar to the philosophy that drove the Solar Impulse 2 team. "We want to demonstrate the use of renewable, green, zero-pollution fuel technologies and spread the message all over the world. It is for this reason that we will be visiting 50 countries, stopping at 101 ports," he says.
The transformation of the catamaran in Energy Observer is the last chapter in a decade-long story. As a matter of fact, the boat was originally built in 1983 and named Formule Tag. It won the Trophéé Jules Vernes for the team Enza New Zealand skippered by Sir Peter Blake. "It was then the biggest catamaran of all time. Sir Blake was also a sailor committed to environmental issues. So we are proud to navigate this boat. The Energy Observer team decided to give this legendary boat a new life. And now, we hope to build another legend around this boat," added Jerome Delafosse, 45-year-old, French documentary maker and member of the on-board crew.
The catamaran is 30.5 meters long and 12,8 meters wide and is powered only by renewable energy, drawing on 130m2 of photovoltaic panels, two vertical axis wind turbines and a sophisticated system that desalinates water, transforming it into hydrogen through electrolysis. The boat is currently at sea, having left the port of Saint Malo last 13 April for this six-year trip around the world: an opportunity to convey and build consensus about new solutions for a cleaner future.
"We are extremely proud to take part in the Energy Observer project and provide our contribution in the form of our knowledge and technology," explained Alain Jeanguillame
"We are extremely proud to take part in the Energy Observer project and provide our contribution in the form of our knowledge and technology," explained Alain Jeanguillame, Director of the Aerospace Business Unit of Prysmian Group, at Salon du Bourget (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace, Paris, 19-25 June), at which the partnership with the Energy Observer was officially presented. "After having equipped the Solar Impulse, this partnership allows us to continue down the path towards clean energy to which we have committed, by once again taking part in an ambitious and compelling project."
A partnership that further strengthens the commitment of Prysmian Group in the environmental responsibility, both in projects and in production processes. Every day, the company champions efficient use of natural resources, optimises logistics flows and practises responsible waste management.

myfile = open("derp.csv", "wb")
writer = csv.writer(myfile)
bla = car + finish + time
writer.writerow(bla)
myfile.close()

Here is the output I get from excel

A: The Python documentation states that for the csv.writer() function the ...

"optional dialect parameter can be given which is used to define
  a set of parameters specific to a particular CSV dialect".

... and that ...

"the other optional fmtparams keyword arguments can be given to override individual formatting parameters in the current dialect".

The problem you are experiencing is a consequence of writing a string representation of the time list to file and writing to file using a whitespace delimiter. If you were to view Informationen.csv as a plain text file the problem becomes apparent.
Firstly, writing to file having passed a whitespace delimiter as an argument in csv.writer(myfile, dialect='excel', delimiter=' ') overrides the default delimiter as defined in the Excel dialect and results in the elements of list bla being written to file with the format element1 element2 element3 as opposed to element1,element2,element3.
Secondly, although the majority of the elements in the time list are allocated their own columns in a spreadsheet as desired, writing the list to file as a string representation of itself has contributed to the overall undesired formatting.
When you open the file created with your script as an Excel file, Excel reads in two initial values based on the first two commas it finds which happen to be in the center of the string 'Landhaus , Nord' and within the string representation of the time list.
You can achieve the column separation you require firstly by appending the elements of the time list to the bla list, as opposed to nesting the former within the latter. You then need to omit delimiter=' ' in csv.writer(myfile, dialect='excel', delimiter=' '), thus avoiding the delimiter overriding effect when writing to file:
import csv

car = ['car 11']
finish = ['Landhaus , Nord']
time = ["['05:36']", "['06:06']", "['06:36']", "['07:06']", "['07:36']"]
try:
    with open('Informationen.csv', 'w') as myfile:
        writer = csv.writer(myfile, dialect='excel')
        bla = [car, finish]
        for each_time in time:
            bla.append(each_time)
        writer.writerow(bla)
except IOError as ioe:
    print('Error: ' + str(ioe))

producing the following output in Excel:

Q: Google Web Toolkit -- only for Gmail type applications? I am trying to build a web application, similar in feel to something like GMail, with one persistent AJAXy page.
I am told that GWT is the way to do this most effectively. However, I also want a framework that I can use for other things besides single AJAXy pages. Is GWT more scalable than this, or should I spend the time and build this thing in ASP.net MVC or Django?
I should mention, I'm trying to LEARN a framework that will be suitable for me to do whatever in.

A: You can use GWT also for parts of the page (a single widget or two), but yes, you are right,
even then it is geared towards the case where you do not refresh the page it lives on.

A: GWT works fine for both cases.  I've written a couple applications at work with it, and I haven't had any trouble with multi-page navigation.  As Thilo also mentioned, you can use as much or as little of GWT for manipulating your page(s) as you need or want.

A: You can do both styles of applications in ASP.NET MVC or GWT.
GWT makes it easier for GMail-type applications eg: web applications which mimic desktop application functionality.
On the other side, ASP.NET MVC is easier for dynamic sites. EG: This site is built on ASP.NET MVC, and if you look at it, its behaves more like a dynamic and interactive web site rather than a desktop-like application.
So its just easier to do web sites in one, and web applications in the other. So I'd think about what type of app you'd rather spend your time on and choose the framework accordingly - Realising, of course, that you can do both types of applications in either.

A: The nice thing of GWT is that in the end all you have is HTML and JavaScript. You can combine it with any other technology.
You can use GWT for the one page that needs ajaxy stuff and the rest with something more traditional.
Or you could even write everything with another framework and then put a GWT widget that needs more AJAX behaviours in a dedicated location of your page.
If you want to stay in the Java world you can use JSP,JSF, Struts, Wicket, or any other framework.
If you want you could even just combine GWT with a .NET or PHP. Just don't use the GWT RPC in that case (use JSON or some simple XML encoding instead).

Helle (gr.  Héllē, łac. Helle) – w mitologii greckiej córka Atamasa i Nefele, siostra Fryksosa.

Jej ojciec Atamas za namową drugiej żony Ino postanowił złożyć ją wraz z bratem w ofierze Zeusowi. Władca Olimpu niezadowolony jednak z tej ofiary, zesłał skrzydlatego barana o złotym runie, by pomógł dzieciom uciec (według innej wersji przysłała go ich matka), unosząc je w powietrze. Helle nie przeżyła podróży spadając  do cieśniny Hellespont, której nazwa miała powstać od jej imienia. Jej brat, który dotarł do Kolchidy, złożył barana w ofierze Zeusowi (jego złote runo stało się później celem wyprawy Argonautów).

Według innej wersji mitu rodzeństwo ocalone zostało przez Dionizosa, oboje jednak popadli w obłęd, błąkając się odtąd po lasach z barankiem – posłańcem ich matki.

Sergey Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, saw the reports of a suppressed mutiny in Georgia as a provocation.
"I see this as another provocation, it is no coincidence that it occurred just a day before NATO exercises in Georgia, that are proceeding despite all our premonitions," Lavrov said, speaking to Euronews channel.
"If this is an attempt to pull the exercises' participants into the political struggle, then it shows that we were 100% right to warn those who organised the exercises that it would lead to an increase in tensions," he added.


Astana EXPO-2017 NC's delegation took part in the forum for development and international cooperation themed around "Innovations, Cooperation and Development - World Expo towards the Future" in Shanghai (PRC).
The national company presented to forum participants its concept of post-exhibition use of EXPO facilities and creation of the capital city's new business center in the EXPO territory, which includes global projects such as Astana International Financial Center, Astana-Hub International IT Technopark, IT University , International Center for Green Technologies and Investment Projects, Business Center, etc.
Furthermore, as part of the forum Astana EXPO 2017 opened its exposition themed "Energy of the Future" with the participation of the Secretary General of the International Exhibition Bureau (BIE), Vicente G. Loscertales, Chairman of the World EXPO Museum's Board of Directors, Hong Hao, and representatives of the Chinese business community.

Q: How to get request details and table name in custom repository - Loopback 4? I am using LB4 and I am extending all repositories from a Custom BaseRepository which extends the DefaultCrudRepository, I haven't done anything special in this repo, just called the super.methods(), one method is:
create(entity: DataObject<T>, options?: Options): Promise<T> {
  return super.create(entity, options);
}

Now, I need to create a log entry whenever the record is saved, updated or deleted. Log entry will have something like this:
{
  tableName: string,
  ip: string,
  browser: string
}

Now, I am confused how to get table name and the request details in the repository.
I have @inject(RestBindings.Http.REQUEST) public request: Request in my controller but I don't know how to use it, any suggestions?

A: First import Request from @loopback/rest
Second, @inject(RestBindings.Http.REQUEST) public request: Request at controller constructor

*

*request.headers["user-agent"] has browser data.

*request.ip has IP. But note that you have to put this directive proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; into your nginx configuration in case you are using your own reverse proxy. For apache, do accordingly.

*Table name is obvious as you know where you create record.

524 Gallowgate, Glasgow. G40 2DU. Demolished.
The image above was taken on a Sunday morning as the pubs closed on Sunday's back in the day. Most of the pubs in those days had a holiday fund, which the customers and staff would put a small amount of money away each week and the licensee would keep it safe until the holiday mostly to the seaside or in the countryside.
Michael Cairns owned this well established Gallowgate howff from the 1930s, it stayed in the family until the 1960s.
Michael's son Desmond F Cairns assisted his father in the running of the business, Michael Joseph another son occasionally helped out in the bar.
In 1949 Michael senior organised a bus run for the staff and customers, this was a popular outing amongst many other pubs in the city, usually on a Sunday when the pubs in Glasgow were closed. Mr Cairns and the customers went to Fife on this occasion on August of 1949, Kirkcaldy was their centre for the day, where they would play games such as football, the three legged race and sprinting. They had lunch and high tea in the Dunnikier Arms, where Mrs Grace Penman was licensee for many years. The guests of Mr Cairns were looked after by her daughter in-law Mrs Adam Penman, she was a well known variety stage performer in her day, known as Rita Halkett.
The following year Desmond was married in Our Lady of Lourdes, Cardonald to Miss Bridie Agnes Mulhern an Irish lass from Breenagh, Co. Donegal. Desmond's brother Joseph was best man.
The history of the pub can be traced back to the 1860s when Robert Clugston a wine & spirit merchant owned the pub, he also owned premises on Howard Street which became known as the Snaffle Bit. William Gardner then took over the pub, he also ran a public house on London Road, many will remember this old bar as "Jack's Bar.".
In 1878 David Thomson took over the licence, he continued in the pub until the early 1900s.
William McGregor Watt took over the business before the First World War, after a long illness his wife had to run the pub, William died in 1920 at his residence 14 Kyle Park, Uddingston. Mrs Norris sold the pub to Alexander Norris in 1926. Mr Norris was a thirty year old manager who ran a shop on Argyle Street, prior to this he managed his mother public house at 180 French Street, Bridgeton.
Mr Michael Cairns took over in the 1930s, his son Desmond took over the licence and ran the pub until the 1960s. The other son Michael ran a pub at 63 Shamrock Street at the corner of Garnethill Street.
The last owner of Cairns bar was Elizabeth McCormick Callaghan, the pub was finally demolished along with other pubs on the Gallowgate in the early 1970s. This was the result of the City Council's redevelopment scheme which saw many of our famous Gallowgate landmarks disappear.
The customers and staff of Cairns bar, on their way to Ayr. 1950.
Desmond F Cairns wedding day with bride Miss Bridie Agnes Mulhern. Bridesmaids were Miss Annie Teresa Mulhern and Miss Eileen Selina Mulhern, the best man was Desmond's brother Michael. The ceremony was performed by Canon George Galbraith. M.C. 1950.

Q: Use vue.js component to count up a data value I am using vue.js and try to recreate the "Listening to Events" example. They use the following code:
HTML

  <button v-on:click="counter += 1">Add 1</button>

The button above has been clicked {{ counter }} times.

JS
var example1 = new Vue({
  el: '#example-1',
    data: {
    counter: 0
  }
})

I want to do the same, but as its something I will do more often I want to create a component:
HTML

  <counterButton></counterButton>

The button above has been clicked {{ counter }} times.

JS
Vue.component('counterButton', {
  template: '<button v-on:click="counter += 1">Add 1</button>'
})

var example1 = new Vue({
  el: '#example-1',
    data: {
    counter: 0
  }
})

This does not seem to be working, while I receive the following warning:

[Vue warn]: Property or method "nextPage" is not defined on the
instance but referenced during render. Make sure to declare reactive
data properties in the data option.

As I am not used to javascript too much, I am simply not able to understand the error. I guess I have to somehow "link" the data value to my component?

A: Your component should be called like below.
<counter-button></counter-button>

This will fix the warning and the button will appear. However, your counter will not change (not the way you are expecting it at least).
Reason
This is because now a button is a standalone component and it does not know about the counter of the parent component.
I recommend to take a look at the official documentation of VueJs about the components and they have a nice example of a counter.
Side note:
If you wish to reuse one button at multiple components to increase only one counter you will have to implement events or use Vuex. These are, however, a bit advanced topics and you should cover the basics first.

Acrolith: Gods In The Material World
Posted by Alexandra Lamont
The Acrolith statuary of ancient Greece with its contrasting marriage of materials is one of the inspirations behind Alexander Lamont's 2018 Spring collection of furniture and lighting, Intarsia.
An Acrolith is a sculpture made of stone and other materials. To enhance the most beautiful features of the statue - the face, the exposed arms, feet and neck - smooth, precious stone such as marble would be used while the body would be sculpted in a "lesser" material such as wood or metal and then swathed in drapery or gilding. Acrolith sculpture was practiced at least until the 4th century BC and focussed on religious/cult figures. While it is rare for Acroliths to have survived intact (often all that remains are the marble sections of the sculpture) they are frequently mentioned in the writings of Pausanias, a Greek travel writer and geographer who published 10 volumes recounting his travels around Greece during the 2nd Century AD. Pausanias had a particular interest in the antiquarian and sacred world and his travel writings centred on the discovery of temples, statues, sacred rites and deities of ancient Greece. Much of our knowledge of the acrolith statues of ancient Greece comes from his writings which reveal that the materials to make these sacred sculptures were often sourced from the spoils of battles and mixed with local or more readily available ones. One statue that has remained largely intact is the Goddess of Morgantina, now housed in Aidone, Sicily after its repatriation by The Getty. In this larger than life statue of a goddess the head, arms and feet are carved in Parian marble while the veil and headdress – now missing – are thought to have been made in gilded bronze. The elaborately carved body with its sumptuous folds of drapery on the other hand is made from local limestone. It is a wonderful example of how a precious material such as marble can be used to highlight a simpler but equally beautiful one such as limestone, wood or metal.

The story of the early Acrolith sculptures captured Alexander's imagination. Keeping the fluid forms and shapes of the ancient world in mind Alexander created a group of lighting and small furniture in which two materials meet to form one beautiful whole. Using materials of deliberately contrasting colours and textures – dark patinated bronze against pale shagreen or crystal calcite stone or sleek parchment – Alexander and his team of artisans found ingenious ways to solve the challenge of bringing two very different materials together in one seamless form so that a precious material enhances the other simpler one to maximum effect.
The Acrolith Floor Lamp and The Aphrodite Table Lamp - Photo by John Hennequin
The simple column shape of the Acrolith Floor Lamp is cast in dark bronze-patina with one section replaced by a shaped and polished piece of turned natural calcite crystal. Cool, precious stone and warm bronze patina sit together in harmony and generously enhance the other's characteristics. The realisation of this piece takes meticulous attention to detail from the selection of the stone which is handpicked from the quarry before it is cut and turned, to the fitting of the stone to the cast base of the lamp. This process can be done only once the stone has been carved and turned. Each piece is sent to the foundry where our artisans fit each one individually to the column of cast bronze and oversee the chasing and finishing of the piece.
The Aphrodite Table Lamps have delicate, fluid forms reminiscent of an ancient Greek amphora. Again the bronze-patina base must be individually cast to fit the top half which is turned hardwood finished with polished, ivory shagreen. It takes the expert hand and eye of our shagreen artisans to inlay the skins so smoothly onto the curved radius of the lamp base, and finish the edge so accurately that the two materials join together to make a perfect mirror image one of the other.
The Ovum Spot Side Table in Three Finishes - Photo by John Hennequin
The Ovum Spot Table is as sculptural as it is functional. The three tiered shape is reminiscent of the primitive idols of ancient Minoan culture bringing together two voluptuous polished bronze-patina forms with an egg at the centre in stone or eggshell lacquer. These precious materials in a simple round form – rich onyx marble with natural variations, cool calcite crystal and delicate pale eggshell swathed in natural black lacquer –highlight the beautiful curve and sheen of the cast bronze-patina base and surface of the table. As with the lamps each centrepiece must be selected, turned and finished before the rest of the structure is cast to fit each individual stone or lacquered globe.
Perhaps nothing matches the imperfect beauty and might of the Goddess of Morgantina, but the spirit of that ancient world lives on in Alexander Lamont's pieces - in the precious, natural materials that he selects for his designs, that are hued, sculpted, cast and finished using the ageless methods of the past.

Composer: Wagner
Tags: Lohengrin, Wagner
› Telramund
March 16, 2013 - 07:00 PM:
Also on March 21
Role: Friedrich von Telramund, Count of Brabant
"Telramund is a politician, a strong and decisive character. He is also a nobleman who is proud to stand up for what he feels is his rightful position to rule over Brabant. His singing is powerful and strong, yet never forced or overbearing.
One must always listen for the noble character in the sound. I particularly enjoy displaying this noble character with a vocally commanding and distinguished quality, never forced or pushed. These qualities always shine through."
Wagners Lohengrin is a romantic, fairy-tale opera. The story is taken from medieval German romance and the Knight of the Swan tradition. Among those deeply moved by it was the young King Ludwig II of Bavaria. And it was King Ludwig's patronage that later gave Wagner the means and opportunity to compose, build a theatre for, and stage his epic cycle, the Ring of the Nibelung. The most popular and recognizable part of the opera is the Bridal Chorus, better known as "Here Comes the Bride", often played as a processional at weddings in the West.
Count Friedrich von Telramund is a Duke's guardian. In his mind, he brings a just case against Elsa, the Duke's sister, of murdering her brother. Telramund calls upon the King to punish Elsa and to make him the new Duke of Brabant – not her. In the end, the person that allows her to become heir (Lohengrin) does not come from this earthly realm at all.

Vernon Reid Serves Up "Artificial Afrika"
Vernon Reid, photo by Bill Berstein.
Virtuoso guitarist, composer and multimedia artist Vernon Reid explores the vicissitudes of identity and authenticity in "Artificial Afrika – A Tale of Lost Cities," a new performance piece commissioned and presented by Dixon Place.
Premiering Feb. 10, the piece is being performed in a limited run on Feb. 11, 17-18, 24-25. In "Artificial Afrika" the two-time Grammy Award-winner leverages hip hop, computer animation, video and dance to challenge conventional assumptions about the idea of Africa. This latest creation has Reid, best known for his band Living Colour, collaborating with hip hop performance artist Akim Funk Buddha, who's also a throat-singer, among other talents, and DJ/drummer/filmmaker/producer Leon Lamont.
"Artificial Afrika" is a meditation on and journey through Africa, a continent brimming with diverse cultures, languages and peoples — and what Reid describes as "a notional landscape," encompassing everything from Aunt Jemima to Tarzan, "filled with our fear and desire and hope and despair."
The piece is "about the Africa in our minds," Reid offered in an interview with The Lo-Down. "We walk around with all these ideas about Africa—deepest darkest Africa, mother Africa, heart of darkness, Tarzan, Aunt Jemima—this piece explores the question of what do they all mean."

Join CCLR for this first in a series of webinars that explore what different local jurisdictions are doing to mitigate the risk of displacement as a result of land recycling. Note: It is highly recommended that you read the Color of Law, available at local libraries and from book sellers, prior to this webinar. Register HERE.
Choosing the right words is key if you want approval for your grant request, or to secure any financial contribution. Your case should define and describe WHY you do what you do, WHO you do it for, HOW your work is relevant, and WHAT IT TAKES financially to do it. A powerful, well-written case inspires action. Too often a case for support is dry, long-winded, written by committee, and rarely read after it is created. This high-energy, interactive webinar, presented by Lori Jacobwith, will shift how you craft a case for support. By the time this session is over, you will (1) understand what a case for support is and why it's critical to craft before asking for money; (2) identify key words to include in your case for support; and (3) learn how to succinctly answer seven simple questions that must be answered in any case for support. This webinar is ideal for new and intermediate grantwriters. $69 per person. Sign-up HERE.
Nutrient trading is a tool that offers both risks and opportunities for meeting Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), the pollution limits established in certain waterways. Trading allows dischargers that have exceeded their nutrient discharge reduction goals to sell their excess reductions as credits to other dischargers. Some states have established nutrient trading or offset programs, with varying degrees of participation. In this webcast, we will look at the increasing exploration of nutrient trading, review case studies of trading programs, and discuss the future of nutrient trading in meeting pollution reduction regulations. Center for Watershed Protection Non-member webcast admission $159. Register HERE.
APRIL 10th & 11th, 2019: NutrientSmart Webinar.

April 23rd, 2019, 11am-12pm: Webinar - Water Meter Replacement through Performance Contracting with Colorado WaterWise. Water meter replacement projects can be done when meters age or proactively to improve water meter accuracy, water use data, water leak detection, and even increase utility revenue when under-reading meters are replaced. Performance contracting is one way to implement and finance the costs of this work; water utilities can hire companies (i.e. energy service companies, or ESCOs) to do the work of replacing water meters, and these companies will guarantee the performance of the new meters installed. While many of these projects have happened around the country, only recently have utilities been able to do so in Colorado.

Citigroup's new CEO has a lot to tackle
BYStephen Gandel
October 17, 2012, 12:34 AM UTC
FORTUNE — Citigroup's new CEO Michael Corbat was an ivy league football star, who turned heads in the Harvard cafeteria.
"He was extremely well rounded," says Andrew Doctoroff, a fellow Harvard student, who wrote about the then All-Ivy offensive lineman in The Harvard Crimson in 1982. "He kept his athletic prowess in perspective."
Even back then, the 6'3", 230-pound Corbat had his sights on tackling investment banking. He's now landed in one of the biggest jobs on Wall Street, and perhaps the toughest.
On Tuesday, Citigroup (C) said Corbat, 52, would take over from Vikram Pandit as the firm's new CEO. Pandit brought Citi back from its near death experience, when it had to be bailed out twice by the government. It has since paid Uncle Sam back. But the bank has struggled to grow. Recently, Citi missed out on a boom in the mortgage market. What's more, Citi is still stuck with billions of dollars of assets that the bank says it no longer wants to own, but can't seem to figure out how to get rid of. The troubled assets have continued to drag down Citi's earnings.
"We have the right footprint and the right resources," Corbat told analysts on conference call on Tuesday afternoon. "It's up to us to make sure we use these properly."

Unlike Pandit, who was brought into the bank in a controversial acquisition shortly before being picked as CEO, Corbat is a lifer of the Citi organization. "He's had a broader range of roles leading up to the job than Pandit," says a former Citi executive who worked with Corbat. "He's a capable guy and a good salesman."
Corbat's first job was working for Salomon Brothers in Atlanta. But by 1987, he had been transferred to Solly's legendary New York office, which later became the subject of Michael Lewis' famous Wall Street book Liar's Poker. A debt specialist, Corbat rose to be the head of high-yield bonds and emerging markets at Solly, before the firm was merged in a series of acquisitions with Citibank to form Citigroup.
Sandy Weill, the former CEO of Citigroup, said that he knows Corbat well and thought Citi's board had made a good choice. "He has been a great manager for Citi in all of the important positions he has held," said Weill. "He is respected by the people within the company and he will be a good leader for the team in the future."
MORE: Housing: The final nail in Pandit's coffin?
Since the Citigroup merger, Corbat has headed up a number of businesses at the firm, including corporate bank and its wealth management division, and has spent time in London and Hong Kong. Shortly after the financial crisis, Pandit named Corbat the head of Citi Holdings, the group of businesses, including subprime lending and the Salomon Smith Barney brokerage division, that bank was looking to get rid of. As head of that division, Corbat helped the firm dispose of $500 billion of unwanted assets in a little over three years. At the beginning of this year, he took over the firm's Europe, Middle East and Africa opperations.
"Pandit put Corbat in charge of the bad bank and the sense is that he did a good job with it," says an executive recruiter who has worked with Citi.
MORE: Bailout CEO: 7 gone, 2 left
Corbat is a Connecticut native. He is listed as the owner of a 4-bedroom, 1-and-a-half-bath, 3,500 square foot Manhattan apartment on Central Park West. The apartment has a fireplace and exposed wood beams in the living room. But Corbat doesn't appear to live there. According to the real estate website Streeteasy, the apartment was rented out in March for $33,000 a month. Corbat also owns a 6,300-square-foot house in Wilson, Wyoming. That house was estimated to be worth $3.7 million in 2010, according to real estate website Trulia.
Pay seems to be part of the reason for Pandit's department. Earlier this year, shareholders voted to reject a $15 million pay package for the Citi's former CEO. Corbat said he will take $1.5 million as a base salary, plus a bonus to be determined later.

Q: Rails: How to load images right after upload without new HTTP request? I'm currently trying to create a site using RoR where you can upload pics and have them load on the bottom right after you upload them without going to a new page. Could someone guide me on how I would do this?
Would it be possible? Since uploading would require a form, which is more of a "new" controller action, while displaying the uploaded images are more of a "show" controller action.

A: You would have to do that with ajax. Have a look at this article on how to create remote forms in rails 3.
To show the image that was uploaded, you'd have to:

*

*get rails to respond to the request (in say the create action) and return a json object with the link to the image that was just added

*add some logic to the javascript response handler to append the image returned from rails to the page

To explain all the details of this would be a bit too much for one answer, but I think that's basically the skeleton of what you'd have to do.


Shortly after becoming an American citizen in 1918, Irving Berlin, already a highly successful popular lyricist and composer, was inducted and stationed at Camp Upton in Yaphank, Long Island, New York. He beguiled his commanding officers into allowing him to write a rousing musical comedy review which would serve to raise both funds and Army morale. For the finale of this production, Yip, Yip, Yaphank, Berlin wrote the original "God Bless America." But he felt the song was too solemn for a comedy and put it aside for twenty years.
In the fall of 1938, as fascism and war threatened Europe, Irving Berlin decided to write a peace song. He recalled an unpublished version of a song that he had set aside in a trunk, took it out and shaped it into a second national anthem, "God Bless America."
Once Berlin decided to re-work the song, he worked in typical style: with speed and attention to detail. The first manuscript of "God Bless America" (in the hand of musical secretary Helmy Kresa) is dated October 31, 1938, and the earliest "final" version of the song is dated November 2.
It is said in show business that "timing is everything." During the three days Berlin revised "God Bless America," the singer Kate Smith asked him for a patriotic song to perform on her CBS radio program, to be broadcast from the New York World's Fair on November 10 to honor Armistice Day. Berlin wanted his song introduced by Smith's fine contralto voice and the combination created an instant hit. Berlin generously signed over his royalty money from the song to charity and the revenues went to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts of America.
Irving Berlin lived a long life, one hundred and one years, and built a catalog of over 1,000 songs. His first published song was "Marie from Sunny Italy" (1907) and his first major hit was "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (1911). He also wrote for Broadway and the movies. Among his most recognized songs are "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody," "Mandy," "White Christmas," "Always," "Cheek to Cheek," "Blue Skies," and "There's No Business Like Show Business."

We went to "The Little Mermaid Live" and it was magical

For three nights only, Disney's The Little Mermaid in Concert will perform at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. If you suddenly find yourself in the presence of a Genie (or, a Sea Witch) you should most definitely wish for a ticket to this event, because it was amazing. I know this because I was there. I've seen The Little Mermaid hundreds of times before, going all the way back to the days of VHS, but I've never seen it quite like THIS before.
Sara Bareilles as Ariel
Beautiful human Bareilles took to the stage in a gorgeous sparkly greenish, blueish dress and had even dyed the tips of her hair RED. She looked like a princess, and she sure belted out "Part of Your World" like a princess. Let me be honest with you: I cried. If you're listening, Disney, Bareilles needs to be the face and voice of your next animated princess. false
Rebel Wilson as Ursula
It's so cool that Wilson is 100% going to EGOT for her role as Ursula!! Because it's going to happen!! Because she is a goddess!! false
Tituss Burgess as Sebastian
We all love Kimmy Schmidt a lot, but let's be honest: Tituss completely steals the show. He also completely steals The Little Mermaid with his powerhouse vocals. Also fun fact that you need to know: Burgess originated the role of Sebastian in the Broadway production of The Little Mermaid. false
Darren Criss as Prince Eric
You're thinking: "But wait a second, Prince Eric doesn't sing in the movie, he just plays his little flute thing." Yes, you are correct. But in this version of The Little Mermaid, Prince Eric gets to sing and his flute has been swapped out for a guitar. false
John Stamos as Chef Louis
And then you're thinking, "OMG, this Little Mermaid show can't get any better," Uncle Jesse comes out and just like, destroys it. He also wore a really great, giant mustache on his face. false
There were also fireworks
And Wilson 100% gives the best performance of her career (so far)
Someone just give her an Oscar/Tony/Grammy/Emmy/Pulitzer/Nobel Peace Prize, ANYTHING.
OG Ariel showed up, too
Jodi Benson made a surprise appearance at the end of the show. She sang, "Part of Your World." She got really emotional towards the end of it, and then I got really emotional towards the end of it, and then Benson started crying, and then I started crying, and it was like we had a moment together (even though she was on the stage and I was in the middle of the audience, so no we didn't really have a moment).
IN CONCLUSION: It was magical, and every day should include a Little Mermaid concert.


It can be a stressful time of year. It can be much more stressful when those that are already shouldering multiple responsibilities are taking on the care of a loved one or family member. Care providers burn out at an alarming rate. There are only so many hours in a day and only so much time with which we can support others' health as well as our own. Here are the best tips to help keep life balanced and healthy, in situations where we are also looking out for those less fortunate in their health.
Most Important-Keep things in perspective! Too often stress creates a feeling of being overwhelmed. The intensity of medical care or support can ratchet-up this inability to see any light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Stop and take a deep breath, then go through the list that you have in your head of all the things you need to do. Which ones are most essential? Which ones can you ask for help with? Are there any that are more a figment of your imagination or that are serving the ego? Sometimes we let our pride get in the way of reducing our list of responsibilities. Remind yourself that you are doing the best you can to meet everyone's needs and that there may be some sorting required in order to keep it real.
Stay nourished. Don't let your immune system get run down or become inflamed because you are always eating on the run or out of convenience. Take the time to prepare at least one home cooked meal each day. Hopefully it can be shared with someone you care about and possibly even those that you provide care for. Include a fresh vegetable and herbs or spices with this meal, as well as a good source of protein such as fish, eggs, or a legume. Make this meal and any others that you are able to prepare an enjoyable process as opposed to a dreaded task. Cooking should appeal to both our creativity and our senses. When this happens, we are nourished on more than one level.
Take the time to get outdoors. There is no better way to drop your stress levels than to go for a walk in the woods or to simply sit in the sunshine. Both shift our nervous system activity towards the parasympathetic division, which is responsible for rest and repair. Too much time indoors is, in itself, a source of stress. Find nature for at least 30 minutes per day whether in a park or on a mountain. It can really help us find an inner peace and can quiet the mind in a profound way.
Stay hydrated. Be sure to drink enough water, water with fresh lemon, or tea throughout the day. Avoid sweetened beverages, which don't help as much with this and can also create a sugar-fix dependency. Keep your urine lighter in color throughout the day and try to front-load your intake of fluid earlier in the day so that staying well hydrated doesn't compromise your sleep.
Shut it down at least an hour before bedtime. Unplug from the list of emails and your smart phone. If you are inclined to watch something, watch a movie from a distance as opposed to having a laptop immediately in front of your face. The blue and white light generated from computer screens, especially when at close range, can significantly impair quality of sleep, as it is counterproductive to melatonin production. Find a movie that you can get lost in, much like with a good book, as opposed to a documentary that might leave you feeling lost or depressed. So in summary, watch from a distance and keep it light or entertaining.
Take a moment to give gratitude. I have always found the greatest solace in being grateful. We almost always have a number of people and experiences which we can be thankful for. This is one of the best ways to close the day or to start a meal. Remember that many of the responsibilities we feel burdened with could actually be looked at as great opportunities. Time shared with others, especially those who are in critical situations, is such an opportunity. As are those experiences that may be difficult, the present situation will not last forever, and will help us grow as individuals. This may take some time to shift our perspective away from "why me?" to "what a gift".

This is a brass artillery shell casing from a German 77mm cannon. The 77mm was the most common WW I German artillery piece. They were very effective. A well-trained crew could fire the shells in very rapid succession. Various shell casings were used by German soldiers to make a number of useful items for the home front. These items were fashioned by soldiers at the front during their spare time. They were also fashioned by wounded soldiers recuperating in hospitals. These shell casings were fashioned into any number of useful items, such as vases, bowls, ashtrays, etc. This example stands 13.75" tall. It measures 77mm at the rim and at the base. A band of oak leaves is etched onto the shell casing's rim. It displays an image of a 1914 Iron Cross on two sides. Below one of the Iron Crosses is the word "Hamel" and the date "1916." Hamel is a section of the infamous 1916 Battle of the Somme.

Redding police announced Wednesday night on its Facebook page that it wants the public's help in identifying a man who's suspected of stealing packages from outside homes.
Police posted a photo of the suspected package thief along with a photo of a white car that he's associated with.
The man is suspected of taking packages from residential doorsteps in northeast Redding, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call officer Bland at (530) 225-4200.


Since june 1998 Freebird released hours of heavy groove rock for you to enjoy. These are our most recent ones.
Freebird Records is proud to present the second full length album by the Dutch psychedelic drone band TONER LOW. Released on November 27th 2008 in a double vinyl edition.
Toner Low are a band from Leiden (Holland), celebrating their ten year aniversary in 2008 with a brand new album, simply called "II". The band has gradually evolved into doomy psychedelic droners that emphasize on repetitive riffing and minimalism with an overwhelming massive and heavy sound.
The new album is released on a double 12" LP but we do have a CD as well. Four epic tracks each fill one side of vinyl, giving you an idea about the sheer size of the droners on this one.
A must have for those who are into... naah, it's simply a must have. The silver foil artwork alone is worth it.
Stefan Persaud, Willem Stevense and Guido Debrichy met in the mid 90's and in 2003 3Speed Automatic (3SA) was born. With 3SA they were on a mission, as Stefan explains: "We wanted to make music that would ignite a new revolution of raunchy rock 'n roll that is sorely missing from the music landscape nowadays." 3SA set out to make music that would be fat yet spherical, with a raw impact while maintaining a recognizable melodic sense to it.
At the end of 2003, 3SA chose a 150 year old villa on the shores of the Maas in Rotterdam as their headquarters, using the library as a rehearsal studio. Their first album "No Man's Land" didn't go by unnoticed.
Originally released as a vinyl album by Nasoni, the album finally will come in a CD version. And a DVD version. At the same time... One disc, two ways to use it to retrieve 3SA's pretty intense brew of stoner rock, raunchy wah-wah propelled biker rock, sleazy hard rock and psychedelics. The video features the exclusively recorded soundtrack of the Dutch cult movie "Horizonica": heavy soundscapes, accentuated by some flamenco-blend accoustic guitars, organ and spaced-out effects, appropriately accompanied by a road-movie styled video. The live video is a bonus, and so is the Dolby 5.1 version of the album on DVD.
The new, second album from Zeus contains 10 tracks that deliver a cocktail of old school heavy rock, melodic groove and even some doom. Pure rock music that tastes best when consumed live and loud. Like the debut album, "07" was mixed and produced by Marcel vd Vondervoort and mastered by Alan Ward.


Working every day for an organization that promotes ideological conservatism, and therefore being hyper aware of that particular frame, one of the more interesting facts about the 2016 Republican primary (to me) is that the winner of that contest was by far the least conservative of the group.
The winner of the Republican primary ran against almost every single position of the Republican platform. It was always a bit head scratching to me when "Republicans" would accuse me of being a socialist for quoting Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, or George Will's complaints against the candidate's anti-conservative policy positions which were in stark contrast to the party's platform.
Many commentators have pointed this out and observed that when it comes to actual Republican voters, unlike the elite punditry class, only a small fraction are ideological conservatives.
So when the candidate said the most important job of the federal government was to provide public education and health care, when he promised to raise taxes on the wealthy, when he could not be distinguished from leftist progressives on free trade policies and big government spending on infrastructure, when he ran against his party on entitlement reform, when he blamed his party for its foreign policy orthodoxy, "conservatives" were shocked and outraged – but it turns out that Republican voters and "conservatives" were two very distinct groups who held surprisingly different views.
This book is full of data. Tons and tons of data. There are more graphs in this book than I can count. Enough findings to shake your understanding of politics. Very revealing. If you want to get beyond punditry, empirical data has some lessons to teach.
The core message of this book is that policy is downstream from identity.
Who are you? The way you answer that question has very important implications for political science. In other words, in order to really understand political science, you must first understand social science.
According to Pew research, in 2007 whites were just as likely to identify as Democrat as Republican, with 44% on each side. After the 2008 election this began to change dramatically as whites began pouring into the Republican party. By 2010 the number of whites self identifying with the Republican party had already increased by 12%. The trend continued and by 2016 the number had increased to 16%. These are huge numbers. A very big and important shift was happening here.
The candidate may not have been conservative and may not have agreed with very many Republican ideas, but he did represent and connect with something very real and that something had a lot to do with a certain identity, and as it turns out, as we are all learning lately, identity can be more powerful than policy.
It is pretty to think that politics can be viewed as a high minded clash of ideas. This is the view of the professional punditry class. It is the view I had adopted from as early as high school, reading Cicero. But there is a more down to earth, vulgar view of politics as a clash of identities. The last 10 years have been a wake up call for many, myself included.
