By Thomas Reid, D. D. Todd
Thomas Reid, modern and philosophical foe of David Hume, used to be the manager determine within the workforce of philosophers constituting the Scottish tuition of logic. among 1753 and 1762, Reid brought 4 "Philosophical Orations" at commencement ceremonies at King's collage, Aberdeen. this can be the 1st English translation of these Latin orations, which show Reid's philosophical reviews in the course of his formative years.Reid's impact was once robust in the USA until eventually the center of the nineteenth century. Thomas Jefferson was once a convert to the common sense philosophy of Reid and his college, and for the 1st dozen educational generations after the progressive warfare, American scholars have been steeped within the considered Reid and his affiliates. hence Reid profoundly encouraged American political, literary, and philosophical tradition. His philosophy served as a cornerstone of yankee schooling.

E. self-evident truth, but he certainly does not mean that the self-evident truth of first principles is that of the simple self-evidence of obvious analyticities. Reidian self-evidence seems to decompose analytically into several "marks" of first principles, which he often mentions separately, viz. e. our constitution; (c) a 3. A German translation of Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind appeared in 1782, a year prior to Kant's attack on Reid in the Prolegormena to Any Future Metaphysics. It is not known whether Kant ever read Reid, but his attack is on Reid's views on Hume's analysis of causality, a matter that Reid does not discuss in the Inquiry, and that he discussed in print for the first time in 1785 in the Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man.
With the exception of Oration III, the Orations are too brief to be summarized usefully; indeed, they are summaries. Instead, I shall comment briefly on various matters raised in or by the Orations. Orations I and II Oration I is very sketchy and quite extraordinarily crude. This might be because Reid took charge of the pupils of Alexander Rait during their third year of instruction and so, perhaps, had less to say than he might have, had he been fully in charge of his pupils for the usual period.
According to Shirley Darcus Sullivan, translator for this edition, and W. R. Humphries, editor of the 1937 Latin edition published by the University of Aberdeen Press, Reid's manuscripts are sufficiently full of errors in Latin, and of purely rhetorical punctuation devices, to indicate that Reid did not contemplate publishing Page 13 his Orations. As an academic Scot, Reid would have been much too proud of the renown of Scottish Latinity to have allowed the manuscript to be published in its present state.

21st Century North American Musical Polemics
In North America in the 21st Century we have minimalists & post-minimalists enjoying great success bringing music of living composers to an enthusiastic public. There is now an audience that is no longer afraid of new music, thanks to their breaking of taboos. Phillip Glass speaks of breaking taboos against consonance. The minimalists coexist rather harmoniously with the experimental composers of John Cage lineage; and with the free improv. ethos--John Zorn: never do anything for more than 15 seconds.
I work with a group of composers from a different universe. Milton Babbitt started calling himself a "maximalist", sometime in the '80s. He talked about music doing everything it can do. By this, he implied that the minimalists were creating a new music that carefully avoided doing most of what was of interest to the maximalists. Of course, this cuts both ways. Composers from all over the map invent desire. For example, Steve Reich's Piano Phase teaches us that we are eager to hear 16th notes phase into 32nd notes. We never dreamed that we would want such a thing. The minimalists were great innovators, and they often liked to do one thing at a time, and this was a response to the complexity of Babbitt and others.
I have been and remain fascinated with and devoted to those maximalist composers who lived long enough to become dinosaurs and work in the shadows, in the authenticity of virtual anonymity. In 1986 I joined a group of colleagues and started an ensemble. We eventually called it Cygnus. Cygnus slowly acquired new works, including works by 3 of some beloved name-brand American modernists, and I feel they are very special works:
Milton Babbitt's Swan Song No. 1
Mario Davidovsky's Ladino Songs
Charles Wuorinen's Cygnus
Quietly, American maximalists accepted the challenge to be more effective, more communicative, and to recognize and give up bad habits. The dinosaurs became birds. They took flight. The ending of Babbitt's Swan Song No. 1 barely sounds like Babbitt, and throughout the work diatonic harmonies are heard in just proportion with other harmonies. In fact, there are hard landings in and out of the diatonic space. This is in contrast to his middle period works that avoid diatonic harmonies.
Leibowitz, Darmstadt and Equal Weight
Liebowitz' famous prescription for the future—12 tones *with equal weight*--still has a hold on many composers in the US. Babbitt was never one of them. Schoenberg never thought of his project in terms those terms, but many would agree that his 12-tone works often tended in that direction. I consider op. 9 a paradigmatic 21st Century work. The music moves and lands hard, with all its weight, as it breaks in and out of the interval cycles. Equal weight in Op. 9, as in earlier tonal music, is a prolongation technique.
20th Century Bad Habits
--equal weight
--avoiding diatonic harmonies (habitually dissonant)
--habitually disjunct
--obsessive/compulsive about "intervallic unity", which is confused with modernist contextual clarity and Romantic thematic unity
These are among the problems that led to the minimalists' clean break with all modernisms. It does not have to be. We are not finished with the innovations that arose in the 20th C.
I stand with a group of composers who did not want a clean break. We are the composers and musicians who were not ready to give up anything. The minimalists and post-minimalists walked away from many, many 20th century innovations. We had this vision: maximalism would mellow; minimalism would ripen. We would no longer cling to tired old modernist textures & harmonies. We would follow through on underlying principles that were at the heart of the great profusion of new compositional techniques that emerged in the 20th C., but we would not cling to what we started to feel were bad habits. In the process there have been new discoveries.
Could compositional techniques be de-coupled
from the sound world which the techniques first embodied?
The early 21st Century is a moment for bringing things together. Our job will involve mixing things together that were once thought to be mutually exclusive. Do what a Minimalist is not allowed to do and combine that with what the maximalist is not allowed and make it cohere. No collage. [Frederic Jameson considers collage to be a paradigmatic fixture of postmodern, late industi
The name Terry Riley is inextricably connected with minimalism, yet his recent music is very rich and harmonically adventurous, getting complex. Jonathan Dawe (one of Milton Babbitt's last protégès) is very much a maximalist. He is a pioneer of diverse fractal procedures in music—rotations (following Krenek and Stravisnky), nesting (much associated with Charles Wuorinen), and cellular automata (Dawe was the first to apply this to music.). A most brilliant and surprising mixture of musical elements can be found in is his experiments with fractalized Phillip Glass, in his work for guitar & piano, Glass 'Armonica. Riley is a minimalist getting complicated, and Dawe, a maximalist treating and transforming sounds from an iconic minimalist, Phillip Glass.
For Agustin Castilla-Avila, microtones are the future. Before meeting Agustin, Jonathan Dawe's microtonal works had begun to convince some composer/musicians in the US that microtones could move out of the decorative/ornamental role and into a structural role. The compelling sounds of Agustin's music challenged me to explore this world of microtones. "12-tones, that's been done before!" I understand this argument. I am not finished with 12 tones, nor am I afraid to open that new can of worms. There is another wonderful position that I share with the Salzburg-based Spanish composer. We are both guitarists. Guitarists exist in the cracks of musical culture. It's not a bad place to be. ---William Anderson
William Anderson, composer, guitarist, and ensemble director, began playing chamber music at the Tanglewood Festival at age 19, and later performed with Met Opera Chamber Players, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, NY Philharmonic, and many others. Anderson was a guest on WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show; and on NPR's All Things Considered, Anderson's Djuna Barnes settings were orchestrated and performed by the Riverside Symphony in 2015. Anderson founded the Cygnus Ensemble in 1986. He teaches classical guitar at Sarah Lawrence College and Queens College. He has been Artistic Director of Marysas Productions since 2011.
Joan Forsyth, pianist, is an eclectic artist whose performing career has taken her all over the world. Dr. Forsyth is both a sympathetic chamber musician and commanding soloist. She has made appearances at such venues as the Kennedy Center, Merkin Hall, Zankel and Weil Recital Halls, as well as tours of Europe, Russia, Japan and South America. Her playing has been broadcast on WNYC, WFAS, RAI(Italy), Vermont Public Radio, and New York Public Radio. She has appeared as soloist with the Westchester Chamber Orchestra and the Westchester Philharmonic. Joan Forsyth has recorded for CRI, Albany, Bridge, Soundspells and Furious Artisans. Currently she teaches at Bennington College and is the Chairperson of the Piano Department at Third Street Music School in New York City.
MATTHEW GREENBAUM was born in New York City in 1950. He studied composition with Stefan Wolpe and Mario Davidovsky and holds a Ph.D. from the CUNY Graduate Center.

His works are published by American Composers Alliance. Recordings are available from Antes and CRI. All-Greenbaum recordings are available on the Centaur and Furious Artisans labels. Greenbaum is also a video animation artist. Works in this medium include Effacement for piano, video animation and electronic sound, and I Saw the Procession of the Empress on First Avenue for fixed media.
Sechs Fügen aus "Der Neuer Musicalischen Lüstgarte" has a double purpose: to challenge myself to write in fugue form, and to try to rethink the tonal answer (the second voice's modified subject). The title is taken from Der Neuer Musicalischen Lüstgarte of Johannes Schultz 1582 –1653), of whom very little is known, but whose music is surprisingly witty and even strange. The work is dedicated to William Anderson and Joan Forsyth, who will premiere the entire piece.
Agustín Castilla-Ávila, vice-president of the International Ekmelic Music Society and director of the symposium "Mikrotöne: Small is beautiful" in Salzburg, worked as a composer in Europe, Asia and USA. His music was conducted by D. Russell-Davies, J. Kalitzke, T. Ceccherini, A. Soriano, H. Lintu and H. Schellenberger among others. He has written solo and chamber music, orchestral, theater plays, choreographies and five chamber operas. He has published for Doblinger Verlag, Joachin Trekel, Da Vinci Edition, Verlag Neue Musik and Bergmann Edition. His music has been recorded on 12 CDs. He has given nearly one hundred lectures about his musical ideas in Europe, Asia and USA. These ideas are published in Austria, Poland, USA, France and Slovenia. In 2013 he receives the Music Prize (Jahresstipendium) from the Region of Salzburg. -"A very high degree of originality, he is always in search for new horizons". Alexander Müllenbach, director of the Sommerakademie Mozarteum Salzburg.
Cerises is a result of an exchange of microtonal ideas for guitar between William Anderson and Agustin Castilla-Ávila using different scordatura. The tuning system of "Cerises" is inspired on William Anderson´s "Les fraises et les framboises".
Terrence Mitchell Riley (born June 24, 1935) is an American composer and performing musician associated with the minimalist school of Western classical music, of which he was a pioneer. His work is deeply influenced by both jazz and Indian classical music, and has utilized innovative tape music techniques and delay systems. He is best known for works such as his 1964 composition In C and the 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air, both considered landmarks of minimalist music.
Ann Southam (February 1937 – 25 November 2010) was a Canadian electronic and classical music composer and music teacher. She is famous for her minimalist, iterative, and lyrical style, for her long-term collaborations with dance choreographers and performers, for her large body of work, and for "blazing a trail for women composers in a notoriously sexist field."
Born in Mexico in 1963, Emil Awad studied composition and conducting at the Juilliard and Manhattan Schools of Music before earning a doctorate at Harvard University. Ensembles such as the Webster Trio, Cygnus, Kolot, Harvard Group of New Music, Manhattan Contemporary Ensemble, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico have played his compositions internationally.
He has received grants from the Roger Shapiro Fund (2018), the National Endowment for the Arts and Culture of Mexico (2001, 2002, 2011-14), National Institute of Arts of Mexico (2000, 2005), and the State of Veracruz Institute of Culture (1999, 2005). His compositions are published by the American Composer Alliance.
Currently, Emil Awad is professor of composition and theory at the University of Veracruz, where he serves as Director of Graduate Studies and fellow of the university's Research Advisory Board. He has been Artistic Director of the International Music Festival Camerata 21 (1998-present).
Fouad was written thanks to a grant by the National Endowment of Culture and the Arts of Mexico and is dedicated to William Anderson. Fouad is an Arabic name that means Heart. The work uses gestures and rhythms that evoke Arabic-Flamenco guitar style, which can be recognized from the very opening. Seven frames of contrasting character evolve out of the post-tonal concert music structure of Fouad; the first and last frames are the question and answer of the musical idea. The second and third frames take the listener and performer into the heart of the work, the asymmetrical middle of the piece. After these, two complementary frames prepare the arrival of the last frame's conclusion.
The highly innovative and conjured world of composer Jonathan Dawe joins Baroque imagery with a modernist mix, cast with dynamic dramatic flair. Cited for his "quirky, fascinating modernist variations on earlier styles" (Time Out) his music involves the recasting of energies and sounds of the past into decisively new expressions, through compositional workings based upon fractal geometry. Recent pieces and productions have been described as "music of such vitality and drama" (New York Times) "a brake-squealing collision of influence" (Boston Globe) and "bound to be provocative." (Time Out) Described as "one of our most talented and distinctive – yet little-known – contemporary composers," (Seen and Heard International) Dawe is the youngest composer to have been commissioned by James Levine and The Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Flowering Arts, a bold fractured transformation of Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Les arts florissants, was hailed in 2005 as a "Powerful Premiere" (Boston Globe).
Recent productions include the Nero and The Fall of Lehman Brothers with BOP Ballet | Opera | Pantomime (Montreal) as well as the premiere with Ensemble Echappe at The Italian Academy (NYC.) Cracked Orlando: dramma per musica e fractals was presented on the 'Beyond the Machine' series at The Juilliard School. In additional productions include Così faran tutti (They'll All Do It!) 2012 –a prequel to Mozart's Così fan tutte- and Cracked Orlando: dramma per musica e fractals 2010 both produced at The Italian Academy in New York City. Commissions from The Boston Symphony Orchestra, The American Composers Orchestra, The Italian Academy of Columbia University, The Wharton Center for Performing Arts, Ensemble Echappe, Da Capo Chamber Players, Load Bang, The Miro Quartet, The Brentano String Quartet, The Manhattan Sinfonietta, Cygnus Ensemble, The New York New Music Ensemble, New Juilliard Ensemble, The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Awards he has received include two recording grants from The Copland Fund for New Music, a Koussevitzky Music Foundation Commission (Library of Congress), a NYSCA commission grant, a Fromm Foundation Grant (Harvard University), a Presser Award (Presser Foundation), The Charles Ives Scholarship (American Academy of Arts and Letters), The Bearns Prize (Columbia University), two ASCAP prizes, two BMI awards, the David Cinnamon Prize and the Herbert Ellwel Prize (Oberlin Conservatory.) Jonathan Dawe was born in Boston Massachusetts in 1965 and studied at the Oberlin Conservatory (BM 1987) with Richard Hoffmann and The Juilliard School (MM 1993, DMA 1995) with Milton Babbitt. Upon graduation he joined the graduate faculty of the Juilliard School where he teaches today.
Robert Pollock has organized over 500 new music concerts. As pianist he has premiered over 100 compositions by composers from around the world. He recently performed solo piano recitals in Honolulu, Hawai'i, Seoul (twice), Xalapa, Mexico (twice), and Tokyo (twice). He participated as composer-in-residence at William Paterson University, and the Festival for New American Music, Sacramento State University (three times).
Some of his one hundred-forty (140) compositions received performances in Israel, Moscow, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Honolulu, Italy, Poland, Germany, Austria, Mexico, Russia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Ireland, New Jersey, California and NYC. Several of his works are recorded for Furious Artisan, CRI, CGNJ and Union of Composers, Tartarstan, Russia, labels. Several works are published by Mobart, E.C. Schirmer, Veritas Musicae and Rosalime Productions.
He received a B. A. in Music from Swarthmore College, and M.F.A. in Musical Composition from Princeton University. He is co-founder of the New York Guild of Composers (1975), and founder/director emeritus of the Composers Guild of New Jersey (1980-1998). Since 1999, Pollock directs a contemporary music and arts presenting organization, Ebb & Flow Arts, Inc., in Hawai'i.
Romance-Fantasy for guitar and piano is dedicated to Joan Forsyth and William Anderson. They have performed it several times. This sane performance practice enables them to give the piece heartfelt, mature renditions. I am deeply grateful for their dedication.
A characteristic 4 eighth note theme begins the piece and pervades throughout. There are lyrical parts that could be called episodic love songs. Other parts are brusque, even boisterous. There are moments in the middle of the piece when the pianist plucks strings inside the piano in order to match the colors of plucked guitar strings. There is an extended transition in order to place the piano stand in position and then replace it. During this transition, the guitar performs sorts of soliloquies. The final, upbeat passage arrives via metric modulation.
Composers Style Pollock Awad 21st Century Musical Practices
William Anderson, composer, guitarist, ensemble director, and champion of new American music, soaked up contemporary American music for 30 years, working directly with composers from all over the map. In the last 15 years Anderson began composing works that draw on that experience, with a particular concern for finding a coherent way to make maximalism and minimalism work together; how to make embarrassingly simple and charming music work with the most complex musical modalities? Pastiche is not an option.

The CPFP application period is now CLOSED.
If you would like to apply for the cohort entering in June 2023, the application period will open on May 1, 2022.
Coming from a basic science background, this fellowship has given me a tremendous opportunity to apply my knowledge and integrate it into the world of cancer epidemiology.

Shakira Nelson, Ph.D., M.P.H.
Sr. Scientific Program Administrator, American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)
One of the unique features of the CPFP is the opportunity to receive formal, academic training in public health. By pursuing an M.P.H. or equivalent degree, fellows learn about the current role and historical context of cancer prevention in public health. The M.P.H. provides individuals with a strong foundation in population health sciences, particularly the quantitative sciences of epidemiology and biostatistics.
Fellows who already possess an M.P.H., a Dr.P.H., or a Ph.D. degree in biostatistics, or epidemiology, or other public health discipline typically come directly into the fellowship with support for up to four years. Other fellows without this prior training (e.g., those trained primarily in the basic sciences, medicine, behavioral sciences, or other disciplines) would need to obtain an M.P.H. during the first year of their fellowship. These decisions are generally straightforward and are made by the CPFP Director during the application process.
Once accepted into the CPFP, each fellow pursuing an M.P.H. is responsible for arranging admission to a university offering an M.P.H. program that can be completed in 12 months or less. NCI will pay tuition, mandatory fees, book allowance, and the fellow's stipend during the year. Fellows must complete M.P.H. requirements by the start of orientation the following June.
Based on the fellow's research interests, and in consultation with CPFP leadership, a fellow may pursue an "M.P.H.-equivalent" degree such as a one-year Masters in Healthcare Research or a Masters in Clinical Investigation.
Fellows must check with the university about admission, prerequisite courses, GRE requirements, and ensure that the M.P.H. can be completed within 12 months. Typically, universities require mathematics, biology, and chemistry courses at the undergraduate level; a current (usually within 5 years) GRE score; and completion of the TOEFL (for foreign education) before acceptance into an M.P.H. program. The MCAT is the equivalent GRE requirement for physicians.

Anyways, the gametype was where all the players were on one side (usually CT) with only knives, and the other team consisted of roughly twice as many bots armed to the teeth.


Later part of 2017 saw a rollout of Android O to various devices and rising demand for the same. While the official versions are still coming steadily, custom ROMs are subbing for it quite well. In that context, now Android Oreo for Huawei Honor 9 is being deployed and available for download, all thanks to developer OldDroid. This ROM is based on EMUI 8 and comes with latest Huawei UX, and Oreo goodies.
This update will move the firmware build number to STF-LO9 8.0.0.321(C900log) for the global variants of Honor 9. Like most of the custom build ROMs, this might not have all the features working perfectly. There might be some glitch but we can expect a fixed build from the developer side. We have included the active download link and also put up the details on how to install Oreo on Huawei Honor 9.
This has been tested working on the Huawei Honor 9 STF-L09C432 variant. We has v already seen Huawei rolling out Oreo Beta program and and available for Mate 9 (Pro). It is also officially available for Huawei V9.
How to install Android 8.0 Oreo onto Huawei Honor 9?
Note 1: The downloads are listed at the end. So make sure to download them first before proceeding.
Note 2: Download all the files and transfer them to PC and also make a copy to Android phone's internal storage. This includes the SuperSU.
Step 1: Make sure to OEM Unlock the phone, enable USB debugging, and Advanced Reboot from Developer Options.
Step 1.1: Ensure that the Bootloader is unlocked on your Huawei Honor 9 on the Nougat firmware.
Step 2: First, flash the TWRP for Nougat via Fastboot. Read: How to flash TWRP on Android phones?
Step 3: Reboot into TWRP recovery mode and connect the phone to the PC. Choose ADB option in TWRP.
Note: The code can also be found in the comments for those who want to copy the code.
Step 6: Now we need to fix system issues like boot animation, ringtones etc. For that, you will need to install TWRP for Oreo and flash a package to fix it.

Businesswoman gives her daughter's teacher a new car: "So she won't have to spend hours on the bus anymore" (+ VIDEO)
Mark Bennett
School Altruism Moving
Very often, the people we hang out with on a daily basis can have difficult moments which we are completely unaware of. Maybe we could do something to help them, but the daily grind distracts us from paying heed to other people's problems. Fortunately, however, there are people who still stop for a second to listen to and see the discomfort of those around them. Some also look for an effective way to help. An example of this, is this touching story that we are about to tell you about here:
via Instagram / ourtneyadeleye
Instagram / ourtneyadeleye
Ms. Courtney Adeleye, CEO and founder of beauty products company, The Mane Choice, recently found out that her daughter's teacher took numerous buses to and from work every day. So, Courtney decided that she should do something. The businesswoman and her husband, a doctor, went to a Ford dealership in Alabama to buy a brand new Ford Focus car.
"When my husband told me that the teacher who taught my girls was forced to take multiple buses every day to and from school, he asked me if we could do something. I answered: Say no more! So, the next day, we went to the car dealership to get a surprise for her," said Courtney.
In a video, shot by the couple's 11-year-old daughter, Courtney and her husband are seen escorting the teacher to the school parking lot. Awaiting her is a Ford Focus with a bow on the hood. "Are you really sure?" asks the teacher, dissolving into tears of joy and extreme gratitude for the great gift. "She is the sweetest person you could ever meet! She said she had never had a new car before!", explained Courtney.
Un post condiviso da "COURT" is always in session! (@courtneyadeleye)
This isn't the first time Courtney has helped someone in need. According to Forbes, the beauty products entrepreneur has financially helped more than 150 of her social media fans.
What can we say? This was a truly generous gesture!
Airline reimburses a passenger $4,800: they forgot to load his wheelchair
Students surprise their teacher by giving him a car: "you will no longer have to wait for the bus for hours"
Little girl brings shoes she no longer wears to class: "They are so beautiful and I would like to give them to someone who doesn't have any"
Teenager loses his parents in an accident a few days before his graduation: the policeman assigned to the case goes to the ceremony to support him
Stranger pays off the $1000 debt of a school canteen: no child will go hungry
A regular customer does not order anything for more than 10 days: the employees suspect something is wrong
Young student bursts into tears because she can no longer afford to study: donors give her 14,000 euros


Is there a concept of a rational God that we can believe in? One of the greatest obstacles to a belief in a divine being in this scientific age is the apparent conflict of belief with reason. It seems like a lot of people compartmentalize their lives into the rational part that believes in the dictates of science, and the religious part that believes in magical beings. They switch their consciousness effortlessly between these "compartments" depending on the circumstances, perhaps only vaguely aware of the inherent conflicts betweens them.
Knowing what one is talking about is of inestimable value in any dialogue, so the theist, before he sets out to explain why we should believe in god, must first explain what he means by the word "god".

Noel Gallo, Oakland City Council Member
"I first started using International Contact three jobs ago when I worked for U.C. Berkeley. At that time we had a big job finding reliable translators. I was working in the Dept. of Public Health, and we were looking for people in Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and various communities throughout California. So we started looking for a company that would be more reliable; we wanted someone local, someone minority-owned, and International Contact fit the bill. I met with Carla and was really impressed with the range of services that International Contact offers, and with our working relationship. We've been using them at Health Plan of San Mateo for the last 5 years, and we're very, very pleased with the results."

The staff at International Contact was very professional and the quality of the translation was the best we have ever had! I highly recommend them."

Rory McIlroy News • Ryder Cup • Tiger Woods News
McIlroy concerned for Woods' health after becoming Ryder Cup assistant captain
"You mean, he's not playing?"
That was Rory McIlroy's reaction Thursday when he was told Tiger Woods, along with Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker, had agreed to become an assistant captain for Davis Love III's 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup team.
The news was a surprise -- first, because it was announced 10 months ahead of the biennial matches in Minnesota and, second, because Woods' return to golf after a pair of back surgeries in the last two months. It led to a lot out-loud wondering if Woods already knew he wouldn't be able to come back in 2016 until it was way too late to mount a charge to make the team on points. McIlroy voiced a similar concern on Thursday when he was apprised of Woods' appointment after the first round of the European Tour's season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
"It's great that he wants to help the U.S. team in any way that he can, and if that's not in a playing capacity, then as a vice-captain. Just sort of makes me think what really his health is like and how he feels like he's going to come back from that," McIlroy said.
"I'd rather see him on the course at Hazeltine but if not, at least he'll be there and it will be a good addition for them."
However, McIlroy thought the idea was brilliant. He called Love's move "one of the smarter ones" he could or has made.

Students unclear about free and reduced lunch options

For most students, a trip to the cafeteria is routine and does not inspire much stress or concern. However, students who qualify for free or reduced lunch face the risk of confusion and embarrassment because they are uncertain of which foods are available to them on their meal plans.
Senior Karina Da Rosa has been on the free and reduced lunch program for all of her time at the high school. However, after four years, she still does not feel informed on what lunch items are available to her through the program.
"You can't get sushi or edamame," Da Rosa said. "I can't have anything in those fridges, none of the drinks unless it is the milk in the center, none of the chips or snacks in front of the registers, and with tea and coffee, unless I pay for them myself they don't qualify as free and reduced lunch. Or maybe they do, and I'm just wrong."
Acting Assistant Director of the Brookline Food Services Teresa Vidette agrees that the system is confusing.
"I have asked numerous times if maybe during the freshman orientation they could have an orientation with the cafeteria so that they have a little bit more understanding," Vidette said. "And it's not just people who are on the program; it's everybody. It is a bit confusing."
According to Da Rosa, the lack of communication about what students can get on free lunch has led some students to go without food rather than face the confusion in the cafeteria.
"There are kids who haven't eaten lunch all year because they don't know they have free lunch or they don't know what they get, so they just don't eat at all," Da Rosa said.
According to Brookline Director of Food Services Alden Cadwell, 11 percent of students in Brookline receive free or reduced lunch. Students qualify if their family's income is within a certain range or if they receive other forms of government assistance.
Students on free and reduced lunch are entitled to two meals per school day: breakfast and lunch. A breakfast consists of a main dish, one side and a milk or drink, while a lunch consists of a main dish, two sides and a milk or drink. According to Cadwell, a meal counts automatically as breakfast until 10:30. If breakfast is purchased after that time a student must specify that they want their meal to count as breakfast.

The town of Brookline is reimbursed by the government after the free and reduced meals are served. The cafeteria also sells other items which the government does not reimburse the town for, such as chips and most drinks. According to Vidette, these additional items are sold to help the cafeteria pay its expenses.
"Even though we are part of the school we pay our own bills," Vidette said. "The Brookline Food Service, on top of the free and reduced program, we also have to sell products so that we can be a business to make money."
According to Vidette, some items are not reimbursed because of their lack of nutritional value.
"There are items that are not on the list of foods considered to have the right nutritional values, like water. We cannot give you water on our meal but we can give you fruit and juice because those have the nutrients."
According to senior Athalia Lopez, the students on free and reduced lunch who do buy food from the cafeteria are often unsure about what food they are eligible for. As a result they become confined to only choosing the foods that they are sure they can get, such as pizza, in order to avoid embarrassment.
"Every time you go to the cafeteria to get something, it's embarrassing when they tell you, 'Hey, you can't get that. Go to the back of the line' or 'Put it back,'" Lopez said. "Or they just take it from you, and I think a lot of the time it restricts the students and confines them to 'I know I can get this, I'm going to stick to getting it.'"
Vidette explained that what students are being denied is not the meal itself, but the items which do not count on the meal plan.
"A lot of times they are so embarrassed hearing 'no' that they aren't asking why," Vidette said. "For example, they would be denied water, chips, snacks or coffee. It's unfortunate when they aren't asking, because they aren't denied the meal, they are denied what they are taking."
Confusion may stem from inconsistencies among the exceptions the cafeteria workers make.
"Sometimes a kid might grab something that isn't on the program but the register person might let it slide the first time," Vidette said. "But then they'll go back a second time and it is a different person there."
Lopez said that being called out in the lunch line in front of one's peers can be embarrassing.
"You go into the caf and there is a long line, and those people are so quick to yell in your face and say 'you can't grab that, hey, that's not free,'" Lopez said. "I don't care if someone says that out loud, but I know a lot of people who if you tell them their business, especially if they are going through a financial issue, it's embarrassing."
According to Vidette, all that comes up when a student pays for their lunch is a name and a number, so the person at the register doesn't know who is or isn't on free or reduced lunch. If the student on free or reduced lunch attempts to purchase items which exceed or do not count towards their two meals, and don't have the balance to pay for them, the cafeteria worker is simply informed that they don't have enough money in their account.
"We don't look at people who are on the program; we don't really know that," Vidette said. "It's a blind system. If kids are coming to the register saying that they are being denied, we just see a dummy number. We aren't singling out free and reduced people because we don't know."
The cafeteria is taking steps to curb the confusion, such as creating the fliers they have begun to display and distribute recently describing what constitutes a meal and what counts as sides.
Vidette said she is eager to work with students to improve their experience and hopes they reach out to cafeteria staff.
"We're really here for you," she said. "Communicate with us more; we really aren't the bad guys."

Maybe it started out ah-mazing, like soulmates amazing, but then it went sideways and now you're trying to figure out how to get that initial awesomeness back?
Maybe it goes in cycles where everything seems great for a while but you've started to realize that even on the good days you're holding your breath and wondering when the other shoe will drop? Is it really all your fault?
If you're like most women, you probably wouldn't describe your relationship as "abusive". It's just extra difficult. More passionate than other people's relationships. More chaotic sometimes… On the really tough days, you might be brave and call it toxic, but then you feel so guilty for labeling it and you take it back.
What you do know, is that you've caught yourself wondering if it's really supposed to be this difficult, this much work? You've caught yourself making excuses to friends, and taking more than your share of the blame, so nobody thinks badly of your partner. You've done some google searches once or twice, trying to find answers, but you'd hate for anyone to think negatively of the two of you as a couple, so you deleted the search history.
Girl, this article is for you. For the one who knows something isn't right, but you really really don't want to admit just how wrong it all is. I'm writing to you, darlin'.
I want to give you the gift of some understanding and some truth, and maybe eventually… some freedom and healing. Speaking the truth out loud isn't easy — believe me, I know. It took me years. When I finally did, the words were hard to form in my mouth. Even harder to put out into the air. There was so much shame and self-doubt and anguished self-recrimination and fear that speaking them somehow made them truer than they already had been before.
Sometimes it helps to see the facts on paper (or a screen). Something about seeing it in black and white makes a huge difference on your journey of acceptance and healing.
But How Can I Tell if it's Actually Abusive?
NOTE: These are only a few of the behavior patterns that may indicate an abusive relationship. If many or most of these patterns are present in your situation, it is very possible that extreme narcissism or full-blown addiction is a significant factor. These do not get better without professional treatment, and sometimes not even then.
You're not losing your mind.
And there is help. I have resources to guide you out of the wilderness of an abusive environment and into the wild freedom God designed for your life.
If you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.
For anonymous, confidential help 24/7, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

Digital Addiction, Electronic Fetish, and Paola Rocchetti [Animation of the Week]
Peter Kirn - May 29, 2012
In "Addictions," screens explode with glitchy, vibrating textures and faces become deconstructed masses, propped up in fetish-like guises and interlaced movement. We're witnessing the work of Paola Rocchetti, who sends over examples and showreels that easily qualify as this week's animated inspiration. Her work extends from motion and animation into the more traditional realms of makeup, hair, and styling – essential elements into remaking the faces and corporeal material that makes up her visual aesthetic. (It's significant that she also works with wigs.)
First, at top, "Addictions," directed by Giovanni Bucci; Paola Rocchetti contributed animation, styling, and makeup. More info:
Addictions official page: http://www.giovannibucci.com/addictions.htm
This video is about addictions, mainly to technology, but it's open to various interpretations.
Years ago the idea behind technology was to give people more free time from work and give us a better life. So nowadays, with the possibility for the majority of people to have access to electronics and hi tech, is it true that we have more spare time and a better quality of life? Or have we become addicted to the technology that surrounds us everyday and it has suck us into it? But humans get addicted really easily to a lot of things in life and this video is also a metaphor about addictions in general, about being manipulated without even realizing it or without reacting.
This is an audio/visual project where sound and images were developed synchronically from the beginning and where one was guide to the other and vice-versa until final completion.
In order to do this, for director Giovanni Bucci was very important to be involved with writing the track together with sound designer/music producer Marco Morano.
The team came up with the concept and started researching music and visuals that would suit the mood and atmosphere they wanted for the video, experimenting with sound, graphic styles and techniques.
To produce this project many different disciplines and elements were used: green screen, stop motion animation, filming with macro, editing, motion graphics, visual effects, styling, make up, sound design.
In a promo for fetish diva Marnie Scarlet, the body becomes both fetish object and abstraction, mixed up with animated graphic elements. Rocchetti describes the subject, star, and costume designer as "renowned for her fabulously larger-than-life complex latex outfits and twistedly deviant shows." Rocchetti recasts that in design and animation.
Some of Rocchetti's work falls into more traditional motion graphics areas; I love the pacing of her showreel. And, since a motion graphics animator can't live on fetish promos alone, there's plenty of commercial work. (Well, I'll leave you to consider the fetish element in advertising.) Have a look:
Software: After Effects, C4D, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere.
Music by: Risqué – I want your number – www.risquemusic.com
Rocchetti is now LA- (and London-) based, having moved from Rome. More:

Takanori Gomi Hints at Return to Japan for New Year's Eve Fight via Instagram
By Jordan Breen	Oct 23, 2017
They say you can't go home again but that appears to be what Japanese MMA legend Takanori Gomi is trying to do.
Monday, the all-time lightweight great posted a message to his Instagram account, suggesting that he was angling to return to his native Japan for a fight on New Year's Eve.
"Return to the Japanese ring soon #NewYearsEve," Gomi wrote in Japanese.
そろそろ日本のリングに戻ろ#大晦日
A post shared by 五味隆典 (@takanorigomi) on Oct 23, 2017 at 1:09am PDT
Gomi last fought at UFC Fight Night 117 on Sept. 23 in Saitama, Japan, a day after his 39th birthday, where was knocked out in 90 seconds by South Korea's Dong Hyun "Maestro" Kim. An Ultimate Fighting Championship source confirmed to Sherdog.com Monday that the Kim bout was the last on Gomi's contract.
The loss to Kim was Gomi's fifth straight first-round stoppage loss inside the Octagon, four of which have come by way of knockout. Prior to his September 2014 loss to Myles Jury to begin that losing skid, "The Fireball Kid" had never been finished via strikes in his 16-year, 45-fight career.
A former Pride Fighting Championship and Shooto world champion, Gomi signed with the UFC in 2010, debuting in a March 2010 third-round submission loss to Kenny Florian. Over his seven-year Octagon tenure, marking the twilight of his career, Gomi posted a 4-9 UFC record.
Gomi's social media hinting would seem to suggest a desire to sign with the Rizin Fighting Federation, which has scheduled dates on Dec. 29 and 31 at Saitama Super Arena, as the company has done for the previous two years. Antonio Inoki's hybrid pro-wrestling and MMA promotion, Inoki Genome Federation, promoted its "Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye" series on Dec. 31 from 2011 to 2015 but didn't produce a New Year's Eve show last year.
Gomi has not fought an MMA bout on New Year's Eve since brutally knocking out Mitsuhiro Ishida in 74 seconds at Pride's "Shockwave 2006." However, last Dec. 31, Gomi did take on former K-1 Max star Masato Kobayashi in an exhibition kickboxing bout as part of the Tokyo Broadcasting System's "Kyokugen 2016" event.

This applet introduces the notions of chromaticity diagrams and color gamuts.
point and click with the mouse on three different locations within the diagram.
This will create a triangular gamut.
Below the diagram is a proportional mixer control, that enables you to additively mix colors of the gamut vertices in various proportions to produce a mixture. The initial proportion is set to 1/3 for each of the three values. To operate the mixer, simply drag a slider or click on any colored strip.
An interesting property of the chromaticity diagram is that for any gamut (not only triangular) an additive mixture of the vertices' colors always lies inside the gamut. Note: The marker is confined within the gamut.


*shudder* I hope Huckabee doesn't win.
I don't know if this speaks worse for Huckabee, or for the journalist that chose this quote but use these phrase and envision them as the summary of American government and people. I hope that's not the basis behind Huckabees supporters… America would be come the scariest place on the planet. I would volunteer to join a civil war if it meant saving my girl from that sort of world. Luckily this wont be the commonality driving all Republicans. They aren't all so selfish as to vote based on narrow, superficial opinions.
The constitution may have been mostly founded by Christians (Franklin and Jefferson were deist) but they all agreed on a document that protected the personal liberty of ALL from the federal government. We were also established as a republic to keep one bias from creating liberties for themselves… which is what marriage currently is.

ABC is about to step into the costume drama lane with Shonda Rhimes' upcoming series, Still Star-Crossed. The show, which takes on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, starts where the play ends—after Romeo and Juliet have committed suicide in order to be with each other forever.
The warring families they hail from—the Montagues and Capulets—still try to tear each other apart, but for the sake of the Italian city of Verona, they are forced to come together in an arranged marriage between Rosaline Capulet (Lashana Lynch) and Benvolio Montague (Wade Briggs). Of course, high drama, romance and scandal will be a huge part of the proceedings.
This show is going to be a must-watch when it premieres on May 29, and not just for the Shondaland factor. If you're anything like me, you're probably a huge costume or historical drama fan. I love seeing all the trappings of a good soap opera played out in sumptuous clothes and beautiful surroundings. It's escapist entertainment at its best and most fashionable.
From my time on the internet, there have been many Twitter live tweets of PBS' historical dramas, from Downton Abbey to Granchester, led by Black women. Yet, the historical drama genre frequently leaves Black women and other women of color out of the storyline. Instead, many marginalized communities are forced to align themselves with stories that view them as either on the outskirts of society or removed from society altogether.
Films based on the works of Jane Austen come to mind, seeing how we're in the age of racebending, it'd be really interesting to see how a director or screenwriter would interpret Pride and Prejudice with a non-White Elizabeth. It would add another level of nuance, possibly, and it would also provide non-White audience members an outlet to finally see someone they can identify with on a more personal level in the genre they love.
On the other hand, instead of racebending every costume drama character, it would be great if studios didn't whitewash the characters of color who are in these classic stories. Take Wuthering Heights for instance. The character of Heathcliff isn't White like he's been portrayed in the movies. Instead, he's described as a lascar, which is an antiquated term referring to Indian sailors. Also, further description provided by Emily Brontë—which includes a now-offensive term—could also mean Heathcliff is of the Roma people, who did originate from India and went on to migrate to other parts of the world. In any event, he's not White. However, he's routinely played by White actors, at least until the 2011 indie adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which starred then-unknown actor James Howson as Heathcliff.
Another example of keeping non-White characters' racial integrity intact would be The Count of Monte Cristo. The book itself is written by Alexandre Dumas, a Black French author. Incidentally, it should be said that Cary Fukunaga and John Legend are currently working on adapting the book The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, And The Real Count of Monte Cristo, into a film. The book is about Dumas' father and inspiration for Edmond Dantès—the main character in The Count of Monte Cristo—French Revolution-era general Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. With that inspiration in mind, wouldn't it have been great to have the many film adaptations of The Count of Monte Cristo actually respect Dumas' original vision?
UCLA Study Discovers That TV Viewers Prefer Diverse Shows
The lack of Black and non-White characters in prominent roles in historical fiction has led too many viewers and creators to believe that it's not historically accurate to have non-White characters as lords and ladies of the manor. Instead, non-White characters are relegated to either slave and servant roles or roles depicting the poor. That's not to say that those roles are invalid, but there was more to Europe's population of color than just existing as laborers for White society. There were royal musicians, military elite and indeed, queens. Furthermore, Europe has been a multicultural society for as long as there have been people in existence, so the idea that Europe was at one point a safe haven for pure Whiteness is a dangerous and limiting falsehood.
This brings me back to Still Star-Crossed. It's high time we as Black women have more than just Belle, the story of Black English aristocrat Dido Elizabeth Belle, to hang our hats on. We need to have a variety of images of Black women in historical European society, and Still Star-Crossed is helping carry the load Belle has had to carry all by itself. There will be no finer day in Shondaland than when I'll be able to sit down with my various TV-viewing snacks and watch the premiere episode of Still Star-Crossed, excited to see a dark-skinned Black woman and her family ooze regality on my screen. The fact that audiences across America will see the same thing will be icing on the cake; finally, everyone will have the opportunity to realize that yes, Black women were everywhere, even 1300s Italy.

Q: too many IActorRefs in Akka.net lets say i have the following Actor hierarchy :
user
|____A___|---E
|        |---F
|        |---G
|
|____B___I
|____C___J
|____D___K

Lets say Actor E Needs to have IActorRef's of Actors I,J,K, passing the Actor Ref's in the constructor gets messy if the the system scales and needs more Actors , and user ActorSelection not advised to use locally.
is there A proper and dynamic way of getting ActorRef's as the system scales?
i have thought a lot about whether i should ask this question or not as it can interpreted as opinion based question , but im really strugling with this problem as i have searched a lot and it is not yet clear what is the best practice to this problem as the code can get really messy and unreadable in time.

A: Just start sending messages, instead of trying to pre-configure Actors with (many) other Actors. It makes initialisation complicated indeed, when there are many different Actors. Also: you cannot regard IActorRef handles passed to a constructor as static and eternally valid: when an Actor goes offline, you need a mechanism to detect that and null its handle, or delete it. The other Actors in the cluster need to watch Akka log messages.. which are not guaranteed.. etc..
Instead: when you connect a new Actor to the cluster, emit (push) your Identity through a pubsub. Your new Actor message could be: ActorSytem.Name+IActorRef+RoleString.
https://getakka.net/articles/clustering/distributed-publish-subscribe.html
The RoleString is a descriptor for the task of your Actor. Other actors can decide to register your IActorRef, based upon RoleString.
In the process, other subscribers (Actors) to the pubsub will pick up your identity and store your identity. Then, they emit their identity in the same way, through the same pubsub. As a result, you'll receive the RoleString identities you need in responses.. and the other cluster nodes (Actors) know you exist.
When the Actor needs to disconnect, emit a pubsub message first, before actually disconnecting the Actor from the Cluster. Doing so, other actors know the Actor went off line.
One pitfall with this strategy: preventing endless pubsub loops (I/O avalange). Solution I use: prevent an Actor from sending too many messages by testing the time since its previous pubsub message. Put e.g. 1 message per minute, regardless of other Actors.. this will result in a heartbeat, rather than an avalange of messages. And you'll be informed in regular intervals of the online status of all Actors. An exit/offline message is not needed in this case.

A: So i looked up The documentation And read it thoroughly and i found that there are Two ways of obtaining IActorRef's in a clean way.
The default way is Is to Use ActorSelection and wait for a reply, From that Reply you use The Sender property and store the IactorRef . You can Use The builtIn MessageIdentify, once sent to an actor the Receiver will automatically reply with ActorIdentity Message containing IActorRef

Pure cacao medicine is a guide through the Heart Center. Experience a magical blend of pure wild harvested Ecuadorian cacao and spices, to awaken the bliss body and connect to our inner being, our beauty, our creative center.
Sourced from Ecuador, the wild harvested cacao used in ceremony is from 100 yr old trees in the highland mountains, fed by spring water and harvested by hand. This cacao is then processed by fermenting, washing, winnowing & stone grinding the cacao into a pure paste. It is tested for purity and is free from toxins that can occur in improperly processed cacao. This is the form that is used in ceremony, where the paste is dissolved back into its liquid state through heat and alchemized with spring water and a special blend of herbs and spices.
If you are interested in hosting cacao ceremony at your retreat, workshop, or local studio, contact me!
Julia Corbett & Greg Papania will guide us through the medicine, into the heart, and attune the mind, body and spirit. Here we connect with our inner beauty, our Love that expresses itself through a spectrum of emotional states. Let the medicine run through you, breathing into Being.
What to bring : a cup or mug that holds at least 6oz, warm clothes, a blanket to keep you cozy, flowers or other objects for our altar, a journal.
Join us in community on a mountain ridge in the sacred land of Ojai for an evening of deep connection to your inner being, your heart, vast nature, and the cosmos. Share in the heart medicine of cacao ceremony, kirtan, communal dinner, and end the evening with a soundbath under the stars! Come for the evening, or stay and camp on the mountain top.
Julia guides us through the Heart with pure cacao medicine. Drink a blend of pure cacao and spices to awaken the bliss body and connect to our inner being. As we drink, be guided in meditation, sound and a sharing in this space of expansion into the heart.
Following, Kat leads kirtan, call and response chanting of mantras. In this Bhakti yoga practice, we explore chanting as a form of devotion and meditation, taking us deeper as the sacred sounds harmonize and amplify the effects of cacao.
Greg then creates a soundbath with crystal bowls, bells, chimes, nature sounds and analog synthesizers all tuned to 432 hz interwoven with binaural tones ~ a tapestry of music to harmonize your energy field and balance your chakras. Receive deep healing and rest, as we are bathed in sacred sounds and guided through the inner realms of the subtle body and outward into the great expanse.
There will be dinner. Please bring a small nourishing offering for our table ~ fruit, salad, sweet.

FACE MASKS, OPEN WINDOWS ON BUSES REDUCE POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS PARTICLES IN THE AIR
Findings show these mitigations may help reduce the spread of COVID-19
Colorado Springs, Colo., December 10, 2020—Opening windows and using existing fans on a bus was shown to reduce exhaled airborne particles by up to 84%, and thereby could lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure, according to research by MITRE using buses provided by the City of Colorado Springs Mountain Metro Transit and Colorado Springs School District 11. Wearing a mask alone can also reduce the spread of potentially infectious particles by 50% or more depending on the quality of the mask.
Those are the key findings of a MITRE study to test aerosol dispersion on buses and determine the best methods to control potentially infectious airborne particles such as COVID-19. When an infected person exhales, sneezes, or coughs, they create small aerosol particles containing the disease, which then spreads or is dispersed throughout the air space in the bus.
The study included more than 84 test runs on both school buses and low-floor transit buses using a mechanical cough simulator that dispersed the test aerosol while the buses drove normal routes over 10 days between August 3 and September 4, 2020. The safe sodium chloride test aerosol generated a variety of particle sizes down to 300 nanometers—similar to a human cough—and were detected by 28 sensors placed throughout the passenger areas.
No passengers were on the buses during the study. Unlike a highly engineered passenger cabin of a commercial aircraft, buses have turbulent environments where the airflow is not steady, making this kind of study complex. MITRE has also posted a video that shows the experiments in action.
After 78.3 million data points and 124 miles of on-the-road testing, key results include:
Wearing of masks reduced the overall particle count released into the bus by an average of 50% or more and reduced the dispersion distance by several feet.
When masks were NOT worn, dispersed particles spread through the whole bus.
Having all the windows open and dashboard fans running reduced the particle counts by an average of 84% on school buses and 50% on transit buses.
Likewise, the windows and fans also reduced the time that particles remain aloft by 80% in school buses and 60% on transit buses.
Bus HVAC systems when used with MERV-13 air filters eliminated airborne particles within 4 minutes. (applicable only to transit buses)
The back row of seats tend to accumulate more particles.
The MITRE team, led by scientist Nathan Edwards, worked to understand the risk of airborne particle transmission while riding on school and public transportation buses, and to bring scientific clarity of the best options for all public transportation systems.
While the results and recommendations seem intuitive, the data may help inform decisions on the best COVID-19 risk mitigation options for public transit.
The key findings and recommendations from this study are:
Require all passengers and drivers to wear masks on buses.
Open windows partially or fully to make a significant difference in reducing airborne risks.
Drivers and operators can reduce their risk of exposure by using a dashboard fan to create airflow in the driver seat area.
Consider seating arrangements that only allow for same-household passengers to sit together.
Social distancing of six feet is not practical on most buses, but any extra distance allows the air movement to reduce exposure to infectious particles.
When it is safe and possible to do so, open transit bus doors at every stop to allow for better air exchange.
When it is not possible to open windows and doors due to weather, or to add better filtration to the buses, consider cancelling bus services.

Q: Detect whether a pixel is red or not We can define the range of red color in HSV as below. I want to detect that whether a certain pixel is red or not? How can I do that in Python? I spend whole day, but unable to find solution. Please resolve my problem. I'm very new to Python. Code that I'm using is:
img=cv2.imread("img.png")
img_hsv=cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

# lower mask (0-10)
lower_red = np.array([0,50,50])
upper_red = np.array([10,255,255])
mask0 = cv2.inRange(img_hsv, lower_red, upper_red)

# upper mask (170-180)
lower_red = np.array([170,50,50])
upper_red = np.array([180,255,255])
mask1 = cv2.inRange(img_hsv, lower_red, upper_red)
image_height,image_width,_=img.shape
for i in range(image_height):
   for j in range(image_width):
       if img_hsv[i][j][1]>=lower_red and img_hsv[i][j][1]<=upper_red:
          print("Found red")

A: You are almost right. You can merge the masks of lower RED and higher RED together to a single mask.

For this ColorChecker.png:

My Steps to find the RED:

*

*Read the image and convert to hsv.

*I choose the red ranges (lower 0~5, upper 175~180) using this colormap:

*Then merge the masks, you can judge whether the pixel is red or not by the mask. Or "crop" the region(s) for visualization:

#!/usr/bin/python3
# 2018.07.08 10:39:15 CST
# 2018.07.08 11:09:44 CST
import cv2
import numpy as np
## Read and merge
img = cv2.imread("ColorChecker.png")
img_hsv = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

## Gen lower mask (0-5) and upper mask (175-180) of RED
mask1 = cv2.inRange(img_hsv, (0,50,20), (5,255,255))
mask2 = cv2.inRange(img_hsv, (175,50,20), (180,255,255))

## Merge the mask and crop the red regions
mask = cv2.bitwise_or(mask1, mask2 )
croped = cv2.bitwise_and(img, img, mask=mask)

## Display
cv2.imshow("mask", mask)
cv2.imshow("croped", croped)
cv2.waitKey()

*

*Choosing the correct upper and lower HSV boundaries for color detection with`cv::inRange` (OpenCV)

*How to detect two different colors using `cv2.inRange` in Python-OpenCV?

State supports expansion plans for increased production
Bielefeld, 22.01.2021
State supports expansion plans for increased production of Bielefeld's PlasmidFactory GmbH & Co. KG
The biotechnological company from East Westphalia moves into focus by expanding its capacity to take part in vaccine production.
PlasmidFactory GmbH & Co. KG (Bielefeld), based in Bielefeld since 2000, has been working closely with world-leading mRNA manufacturers for many years and produces plasmid DNA as an essential starting material for their vaccine production, which has proven to be extremely effective in the corresponding (pre-)clinical studies.
Accepting the invitation, Minister Prof. Pinkwart from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalization and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIDE) will be getting to know the company on January 22 – unfortunately only virtually due to the coronavirus – and take a virtual tour of the production and see the expansion areas that will be used for new production capacities for the manufacture of plasmid DNA, as a key substrate for the production of mRNA vaccines - e.g. Covid19 vaccines.
Since the onset of the Covid19 pandemic, PlasmidFactory has postponed numerous regular DNA production projects planned for 2020 to immediately help meet the enormous demand for DNA of this quality level.
New capacity through expansion
PlasmidFactory is therefore now planning to establish a production facility, in an exceptionally short time, which is capable of producing the enormous quantities of plasmid DNA that are currently urgently needed to support the pharmaceutical manufacture of the Covid19 vaccine and to enable an expansion of the customers' manufacturing capacities.
The prospective funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia will help make these enormous efforts and expenses here in the region of East-Westphalia-Lippe possible in such a short time.
From the company's standpoint, there is no alternative to the strategy, which has come to be known as the mRNA vaccine, for the protection against not only the CoV-2 virus but also against other pandemics caused by viral pathogens that may be expected in the future, when taking into account expected patient safety. Particular attention is also being paid here to the speed of development, since the mRNA vaccine is based on DNA that could be produced very quickly in the past, but not on the scale now required, whilst adhering to the high quality standards.
Specifically, a modular facility for plasmid DNA production is to be built on the site next to PlasmidFactory. Within a few months, this facility is to be equipped as a high-performance facility for DNA production, so that the - constantly increasing - demand for starting substrate for vaccine production can be met in Bielefeld from the summer onwards.
Due to the modular construction, pre-built room parts can be combined to construct a production unit in a short amount of time, in which the production process with fermentation, extraction and purification of the plasmid DNA including media preparation and storage capacity can take place.
Worldwide long-term demand
Since 2000, PlasmidFactory has specialized in producing DNA in extremely high purity for research in the field of gene therapy and genetic vaccines and works both scientifically and as a worldwide supplier for universities, biotechnological and pharmaceutical companies. All manufacturing as well as research and development are pooled at the Bielefeld location. There is a very close cooperation with Bielefeld University, which ensures the availability of highly-motivated, young employees and integration into current research topics and technologies.
Due to the extremely challenging availability of auxiliary and starting materials worldwide and especially the key substance DNA for pharmaceutical production of the vaccine, there is an exceptional and very long-lasting need, which could be covered within North Rhine-Westphalia (as well as Germany and the European Community) and could provide an independent supply of the currently most important raw material for mRNA production or ensure its availability.
