"The Race That Eats It's Young"?!
No 5 mile run should look like this when the first mile and the overall pace of the run match. Perhaps I need to spend more time working on consistency and less on going faster.
Also, ordered a new running watch/GPS/electronic toy thingy for myself today. It'll arrive at the local running shop this week and go straight to the wife for storage until Christmas. That and a new hydration pack that I'll need for the big long runs coming soon. I love my Apple Watch, but it's not going to cut it long term.
I am not planning to make this race a part of my schedule at any point in the future, because it's a realm of craziness I hope not to visit, but if you are looking for something to check out on Netflix, go watch The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young. It doesn't motivate me to want to run 100 miles. Hell, it doesn't motivate me to want to run outside ever again (but I will). No words can describe the insanity that is Barkley. You just have to watch it. It's a documentary that is worth the viewing.
Let me say it another way. The race is 100 miles long (try more like 130, and it changes every year), and the record for the race is 52 hours…52 HOURS!!! I'll have to do Western States in under 30 hours.
Oh, and there have been only 15 humans to finish the course in the race's 31 year history…it took 9 years before someone did it the first time…this is not my race.


Posted March 27, 2018 by Martin Slater & filed under Services.
As a first time ACS delegate and speaker, and first time visitor to New Orleans, these were pretty awesome firsts! And for different reasons both eye opening. The cacophony of night life and live music on Bourbon Street contrasted with the splendour of Royal Street and Decatur Street architecture and many excellent cafés and restaurants. This, together with the hefty pace of an almost overwhelming barrage of scientific presentations, posters and exhibitors, was both exhilarating and exhausting.
Relaxing in my hotel room, as the sun glittered off the wide Mississippi below, I could reflect on the week's events. Here are some of the highlights for me.
We presented in the CINF fragrances, food and cheminformatics session, work we have done to classify odorants using shape and electrostatics generated using the XED force field 1. The less intuitive relationships between structure and olfaction, which are often not correctly attributable using 2D similarity techniques, are adequately described by a 3D field and shape treatment.
In COMP, our poster on the addition of user defined pharmacophoric features to Blaze 2 (giving an additional way for users to influence the results beyond pure electrostatics and shape) received a lot of interest – particularly in the pros and cons of doing so. These new features were released in Blaze V10.3.
One key issue in flavour & fragrance science is the absence of a really robust biological readout for quantifying odour perception. Jack Bicker (IFF) 3 and Joel Mainland (Monell Chemical Senses Center) 4 both discussed the ability to predict the intensity of odorants, and to reconstruct something akin to a full dose response curve, by manipulating 'odour perception data' collated from human panelists. Jack covered a range of predictive modelling techniques used for analysing both property and structure data for odorants. Joel Mainland's remaining time focused on the results of the 'Dream challenge' which provided details of sensory data on a series of diverse odorants and invited 'participants' to predict the variety of odorant properties from structure alone. Surprisingly, this appears to have been most successful via recursive partitioning techniques.
Over the whole ACS there was a revival of interest in GPCRs as targets including Merck presenting on CBR1 5, CCR2 6, GPR40 7 8. All very much on the back of advances in obtaining x-ray crystallography for this important family of proteins.
Oliceridine as an agonist of the μ-Opioid receptor, a brand new drug for quite an established target, was presented by Trevena 9. One of the key issues with the use of agonists of this receptor (e.g., morphine), which behave pharmacologically as analgesics, is an associated respiratory depression effect. Trevena developed their medicine specifically to avoid this side effect and were able to do so by optimizing the drug specifically for the beta arrestin signalling pathway.
Figure 1: Oliceridine in the context of μ-Opioid receptor PDB: 5c1m using Forge to align it to the original bound ligand from this PDB structure.Similarly, this notion resurfaced during Merck 5 and Lilly 6 talks on the effect of glucose lowering for diabetes via engagement with the GPR40 receptor. Again, biased signalling was associated with achieving a beneficial outcome. Lilly described the observed relationship between off rate and signalling bias – suggesting that increasing ligand residency time was associated with an increased engagement of the beta arrestin pathway. However, in this case the relationship between SAR and the pharmacology is complicated further by the observation of two distinct allosteric binding locations for the GPCR ligands.
Figure 2: Merck's two allosteric ligands bound into the GPR40 receptor PDB: 5tzy with the ligands shown in space fill (top structure magenta and bottom green).Thus, the portfolio of allosteric binding sites for GPCRs is duly expanding (numbers in parenthesis); with B2AR (2) GPR40 (2), CCR9 (1), ACM1 (1) all showing allosteric sites including a number where protein lipid interfacial contacts are made with the ligands.
New targets (to me at least) described in the various medicinal chemistry talks include, to mention a few: APOBEC3 10, VMAT2 11, HPGDS 12, Ketohexokinase 13, SH2P 14 and CRB 15. Also, in particular, the DUBS and their corresponding ligase counterparts, which together control ubiquitin mediated signalling, received lots of attention. For instance, a fascinating talk from Michael Clague at Liverpool University's Cellular and Molecular Physiology Department 16, inferred that USP30 has a potential role in neurodegenerative disease. USP30 is involved in regulating mitochondrial autophagy via modulation of the extent of ubiquitin labelling of external membrane proteins on mitochondria.
COMP 192: Adding pharmacophores to shape and electrostatics – too much of a good thing?

Frederick III - German Emperor who could have Stopped the World Wars
Mongols: Zenith of Empire - Siege of Baghdad 1258 and Battle of Ain Jalut 1260 DOCUMENTARY
Ancient Greek Kingdom in India
German Empire lost more than 2.5 million during the I World War. The empire was abolished and the country was set on the path to the II World War. However, there was a turning point three decades before, which could have averted this path. This is the tragic, but interesting story of Frederick III and how his death possibly changed the course of World history.

The South West of England is brimming with heritage; from country parks, to historic houses, castles and rugged coastlines. It's here to be enjoyed by everyone - but not everyone can.
Disabled and Deaf people (who use British Sign Language) struggle to experience these places because of physical barriers, a lack of accessible interpretation and untrained staff and volunteers.
That's where Heritage Ability comes in. We're unlocking the heritage at over 20 destinations across Devon, Dorset, Cornwall, Somerset and Gloucester so that disabled people and British Sign Language users can have engaging experiences with the places that we love. We're creating Easy Read guides to large print formats, BSL tours and more - connecting people with places. It's thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund that we can make heritage accessible - for everyone.
Heritage Ability is delivered by the team at South West disability charity, Living Options Devon.

home | News | B.C. Court of Appea . . .
The British Columbia Court of Appeal has recently confirmed its approach to discrimination on the basis of family status.
Campbell River has been criticized for imposing a different and higher standard for establishing discrimination on the basis of family status as compared to other protected grounds. Different tests have also emerged in other Canadian jurisdictions.
In the recent decision of Envirocon Environmental Services, ULC v. Suen, 2019 BCCA 46 ("Envirocon v. Suen"), the Court of Appeal had an opportunity to re-consider Campbell River.
The case involved an individual, Mr. Suen, who was employed by Envirocon as a project manager in Burnaby. From time to time he was required to travel for work. In September 2015, Mr. Suen and his wife welcomed their first child. Mr. Suen worked from home and took some holidays after his daughter's birth. In January 2016, Mr. Suen was assigned to a project in Manitoba which would require that he be away for 8-10 weeks. Mr. Suen advised Envirocon he would not go to Manitoba in order to remain close to his family. Envirocon ultimately terminated Mr. Suen's employment for cause.
Mr. Suen filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of family status. Envirocon filed an application to dismiss the complaint without a hearing. The Human Rights Tribunal declined to dismiss any aspect of Mr. Suen's complaint. The Tribunal held that the facts as alleged could constitute adverse effect discrimination on the basis of family status and there was a reasonable prospect the complaint could succeed. The Tribunal applied Campbell River but also raised a question concerning the continuing applicability of the Campbell River test.
Envirocon applied for judicial review of the Tribunal's decision. The Chambers Judge upheld the Tribunal's decision finding that the Tribunal's decision was not patently unreasonable.
Envirocon ultimately appealed the decision of the Chambers Judge to the British Columbia Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal declined the opportunity to re-consider the Campbell River test and confirmed its continued application in British Columbia. The Court of Appeal ultimately found that the Tribunal's decision was patently unreasonable and arbitrary because the facts alleged by Mr. Suen could not satisfy the second step of the Campbell River test – a serious interference with a substantial parental or other family duty or obligation.
This is an important case as it clarifies that Campbell River continues to be the applicable test to meet for family status discrimination in British Columbia. It further demonstrates that something more than a parent's desire to be close to home to assist with parenting obligations will be necessary to meet the test.
If you have any questions about family status discrimination, or any other workplace issue, please contact Nicole Toye.

Sarah nodded and teleported away.
They found Dalrydan at the pool. He was sitting on the rocks, trailing his feet in the water and watching Laxmi, who was swimming in the underground lake. He looked around when they entered and raised an eyebrow.
"Can I help you, Sonia-ida?" he asked.
"I don't see why not," he said. "As long as she's doesn't mind." He looked over to where Laxmi had stopped swimming at the mention of her name and was treading water.
"You know about that?" Sonia said.

Dombrowski, Chris
Body of Water : A Sage, a Seeker, and the World's Most Alluring Fish
Minneapolis, MN: Milkweed, 2016.
2nd Printing. Hardcover. Signed by the author on title page with inscription to previous owner. An otherwise bright, clean, like new copy.
From the dust jacket flap: Chris Dombrowski was playing a numbers game: two passions poetry and fly-fishing; one child, with another on the way; and an income hovering perilously close to zero. Enter a miraculous email: Can't go, it's all paid for, just book a flight to Miami.
Thus began a journey that would lead to the Bahamas and to David Pinder, a legendary bonefishing guide. Bonefish are prized for their elusiveness and their tenacity. And no one was better at hunting them than Pinder, a Bahamian whose accuracy and intuition were virtuosic.
By the time Dombrowski meets Pinder, however, he has been abandoned by the industry he helped build, watching as the world of his beloved bonefish is degraded by tourists he himself did so much to attract. But as Pinder's stories unfold, Dombrowski discovers a profound integrity and wisdom in his life. Fine / fine. Item #5853

Trimec Southern was formulated for sensitive southern turf grasses, but it also will control tough weeds anywhere else. In fact, recent research has shown that Trimec Southern is one of the most effective amine Trimec complex for clover control.
Trimec Southern is formulated with less 2,4-D to accommodate sensitive warm-season grasses, and higher in MCPP to maintain the performance. The adjustment in formulation is the optimum ratio for knocking out clover. Trimec Southern is not just for the south, it is also for tough weed control anywhere, especially where clover or chickweed is the primary target.
Trimec Southern is labeled for use on cool-season bluegrass and fescues as well as bermuda grass, bent grass, zoysia grass, centipede grass and St. Augustine grass. This product provides a very wide spectrum broadleaf weed control.


In what could have been the 2018 title-deciding race for Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, the United States Grand Prix turned out to be rather dramatic and saw Kimi Raikkonen victorious instead, ending the Ferrari's veteran's race-win drought and creating a new record.
It has been more than 2040 days since the Iceman's last win, and it was well-deserved.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo suffered a DNF, but then team mate Max Verstappen got the driver of the day award for his stellar performance. Verstappen started the race in P18 and finished second on the podium, refusing to give Lewis Hamilton any chance to overtake him. Both drivers donned 'cowboy' race suits in a nod to their hosts in Texas.
Sebastian Vettel spun out on the first Lap, but then managed to drive through the pack and finished in fourth place. If he is to have a shot at the title, he will have to win each of the three remaining races.
Hamilton needs to finish in the top seven at the Mexican Grand Prix this coming weekend if he is going to win his 5th title.

It's frustrating when a contractor comes to fix something in your house, and then breaks something else, or leaves a mess behind.
But one Northern Kentucky man is dealing with an even nastier issue: a contractor who left a real mess in his toilet.
Eric Yates says a Spectrum Cable installer was apparently all pooped out, after performing his duty fixing the cable.
Yates says that's when the installer decided to do another kind of duty.
"He asked to use the restroom, he caused damage in the restroom, but didn't tell me about it, and he left," Yates said.
He says the toilet was completely clogged.
"I tried unclogging it with a plunger for a half hour, and after no success decided to call a plumber," Yates said.
As his receipt shows, it took a Roto Rooter visit and a $230 payment to undo the cable guy's deposit.
But when he called the cable company to try to get reimbursed for the cleanup, that's when the real problems began.
"Every time I called there was a different story, this department is going to handle your claim, a technician needs to handle your claim one on one, etcetera," Yates said.
Despite multiple calls, Yates says he's still waiting for reimbursement.
"Unfortunately we are 6 months down the road, and have still not received my refund check," he said.
We contacted Spectrum Cable, where a company spokesman promised to make things right, saying "if we cause damage, we will take care of the issue and cover all costs."
Number one: Take photos and report any damage left "behind" by a contractor.
Number two...if it's number two, you might politely ask him to go to a gas station. That's what Yates plans to do next time.

At 36 years young, Justin Kauflin has already produced eight albums as a leader, has appeared on at least 25 additional albums as sideman or guest artist and has recorded 48 original compositions for albums and film. It's no surprise that Justin is both a Quincy Jones Artist and Yamaha artist.
While a student at William Paterson University in New Jersey, Justin not only had the great fortune of studying with piano icons Mulgrew Miller and Harold Mabern, but was also taken under the wings of legendary trumpeter, Clark Terry, who subsequently asked Justin to join his band. Justin's relationship with Mr. Terry was chronicled for five years to create the award-winning film, Keep On Keepin' On, a documentary that even made the Oscar's Short List.
Clark Terry is also responsible for having introduced Justin to one of his first students, legendary producer and music icon, Quincy Jones, who quickly signed Justin for management with the Quincy Jones Agency and has since been an integral figure in Justin's musical journey.
"Something that I've really grown to cherish about music is its ability to heal and its ability to help us transition in difficult times. After losing my sight by the age of 11, I noticed that the power of the music to transport me was incredible.
Fast-forward to this last year... we're just not sure what to make of everything going on around us. And again, I've found that music is… the best! It really is. There's just no replacement for it. There's no comparing what music and sharing music can do."

Nexus forms Xenia Broking Group to consolidate broking activities
29th March 2019 - Author: Luke Gallin
Nexus Group has revealed the establishment of Xenia Broking Group Limited, a London-based entity launched to consolidate Nexus' broking activities.
The consolidated broking activities will remain independent and segregated from the Group's underwriting operations, and Xenia will have Nexus Group Non-Executive Director, Jeremy Adams as Chairman of its Board of Directors.
He brings extensive industry experience to the role, having previously been Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Novae Syndicates, being one of the founding directors of Special Risk Services, and has also held senior positions at Willis and Aon.
Tim Coles, current Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Nexus Group, will also assume the role of CEO of Xenia.
Joining Adams and Coles on the Board of Directors, is Mike Clark, Hayden Tennant, and Lisa Humphries, the three directors of Credit Risk Solutions, an independent Trade Credit brokerage acquired by Nexus in 2017. Nexus Group CEO Colin Thompson and Nexus Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Stuart Rose, complete the initial Board of Directors composition.
Coles commented: "Xenia was formed in order for us initially to continue building our trade credit broking capability and to do so independently of Nexus' underwriting divisions.
"We are very excited for Xenia's future as we have a rich pipeline of new opportunities to explore and believe we are offering an ideal platform for those specialists that want to retain independence whilst unifying with similarly ambitious teams and benefitting from expert insight and invaluable industry experience."

Police (1985) – Two Faces, Neither of Them Real
Crime, Film, Pialat
film criticism, Gerard Depardieu, Masters of Cinema, Maurice Pialat, Nouvelle Vague, Police, review
Can art ever articulate the truth? The films of Maurice Pialat display a grave ambivalence towards that question. With his first film, L'Enfance Nue (1968) Pialat showed a real animosity towards not only traditional forms of cinematic story-telling, but the very conceit and artificiality of fiction itself. Pialat is a director who wants to put the real world on the screen without the traditional intermediaries of editorial or narrative. However, despite this hostility to the artificiality of artistic representation, Pialat never returned to his roots as a documentary film-maker. Instead, he produced films such as Nous Ne Vieillirons Pas Ensemble (1972) and La Gueule Ouverte (1974). Films that presented themselves as traditional dramas, but which were in fact elaborately dramatised autobiographical meditations upon his own life.
Police is a film that continues Pialat's tradition of ontological uncertainty. It is a work of genre by a film-maker who loathed fiction and a character study by a man who seemed to believe that there was no such thing as the self. Unsurprisingly, Police is a film that exists under a permanent ontological fog.

1968, Cinematic Realism, film criticism, L'Enfance Nue, Marxism, Maurice Pialat, Naked Childhood, Nouvelle Vague, Social Class
Back in the early 00s, I was studying the philosophy of science. Studying philosophy is very similar to being one of the generals, comfy in a French chateau miles away from the front and seeing the world purely in terms of previous wars fought by previous generations. I was taught the history of philosophy in terms of rationalism vs. empiricism rather than within a proper historical context (I did not truly understand the point of Leibniz's philosophy until I read Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle). Sometimes we would hear news of young South American Logicians doing wonderful things with multi-variant logical systems and the smarter kids had sensed a shift in academia's prevailing winds and hitched their philosophical wagon to actual scientific research rather than debates held by angry young graduate students who were now port-soaked emeritus professors. However, one battle I was all too eager to fight was the one between science and continental philosophy, part of the wider academic clash of empires known as the Science Wars. In all the books, all the arguments and all the pages of incommensurable bickering that went on, I still remember someone pointing out that, for all the political anger of critical theorists, no member of the working class had ever actually benefited from a piece of critical theory. This is something of a cheap shot as the suggestion is that, as academic debate is an irredeemably bourgeois activity, leftist critical theorists are all hypocrites of the highest order. One might well quibble with this rather haughty and dismissive comment but it does seem to be close to the opinions held by Maurice Pialat.

La Gueule Ouverte (1974) – Part of the Furniture
Death, film criticism, La Gueule Ouverte, Loss, Masters of Cinema, Maurice Pialat
One of the things that is most fascinating about Pialat as a director is that though completely devoid of sentimentality, his work also shows a perpetual awareness of the temptations that it offers. This lack of sentimentality applies abstractly to broad topics such as childhood but also, more concretely, to his own life. It is said that The Mouth Agape is one of Pialat's most 'autobiographical' works but this is not a particularly useful distinction to make with regards to Pialat's work as so many of his films – including Nous Ne Vieillirons Pas Ensemble (1972) and Loulou (1980) – are effectively just dramatisations of real events from his own life. A better way of thinking about La Gueule Ouverte is that it is one of his more intrusive works. It shines a light into places where we would rather not look. An unflattering and unsentimental light right onto the death of Pialat's mother and the lives of both himself and his womanising father. It is a film about death without being about loss and a film about grief without being about sadness. It is, in a word, pitiless.
Passe Ton Bac D'Abord (1979) – The Ordered Nature of Chaotic Lives
film criticism, Masters of Cinema, Maurice Pialat, Passe Ton Bac D'Abord, review
For his fifth feature film, Maurice Pialat returned to northern France to take a second look at the disaffected youth that inspired him to make his first full-length film L'Enfance Nue (1968). A spiritual successor to that film, Graduate First initially comes across as a work that is almost free form. A work that takes its pseudo-documentary, cinema verite stylings to their logical conclusion by refusing to place a coherent narrative onto the lives of Pialat's characters. However, as with Nous Ne Vieillirons Pas Ensemble (1972), Passe Ton Bac D'Abord is a film that draws upon a deep, narrative structure that suggests that, while the lives of these young people may seem chaotic and random, these are the kinds of lives that people have always lived.

Videovista has my review of Maurice Pialat's splendid We Won't Grow Old Together.
I absolutely adored this film, so much so that I went out and purchased the rest of the Pialat films that Masters of Cinema/Eureka have released. Aside from the fantastic performances and the brutality of the relationship dynamic on display, I was also struck by how much Pialat's style is reminiscent of that of Claude Chabrol. Keep an eye out for more Pialat pieces in the near future.


That's the Yuracrumiyoc Pass in the Urubamba region of the Andes in Peru. It was a breathless view from the top. Mainly because it's nearly 4700m above sea level and we'd got there through a foot of snow.
The descent was just as hard going, picking our way down the other side, until I worked out there was a much easier way. I sat on a plastic bag, my walking pole across my knees and slid down it on my backside. Thus proving to yet another new group of friends that I am completely out of my mind.

Sounds like fun! I found going down mountains harder than going up, but you found an easier way!!
A couple of them did follow suit, actually, so maybe I wasn't seen as quite all that mad. Such a lark.
Ouch…..I did a natural water slide once and it was not comfy. I think 4700m would be a bit much to do on one's bottom! Glad you made it okay!
Sounds like you were the smart one! What an adventure!
It sound a bit like a hard-drive to me. Did the alpacas stare at you in your way down or did they spit?
The llamas had run away by then (true story). We only had a horse. It gave me a long hard look down its nose.
Damn .. I have a sudden craving ….
I so admire this accomplishment. It's a special sort of person that climbs mountains…in the snow.
But Heather, darling, this sounds completely terrifying. How does one steer an out-of-control plastic bag down a Peruvian mountain? I'm sticking to windy airplane landings….
Well, Barbara, a sturdy wooden walking pole (complete with decorative Peruvian woven handle of course) is an absolutely essential item in such manoeuvres.
COL!!!! And does one shriek the whole way down?
I think I would do the same 🙂 This is a breathtaking view and photo!

Q: Inject Instance : Spring and CDI compatibility I am wondering how can I use the Instance in JUnit4 with Spring
@Inject
Instance<IMyInterface> interfaces;

If I use
@Inject
List<IMyInterface> interfaces;

It works in Spring but not with CDI.
Also, we can use Provider with both CDI and Spring but it's not Iterable.

A: The @Inject annotation comes from JSR-330-Dependency Injection for Java. Spring knows this annotation and briefly said, Spring treats it as an alternative to @Autowired. That's it.
However, the Instance is part of JSR 299 - Contexts & Dependency Injection. You can have a look at the definition in CDI specifications.
Spring DI is absolutely different and does not implement JSR-299 (CDI) or any other standard. It does not even have a separate API and implementations and everything is just glued together. Therefore, injecting an Instace is not possible with Spring.

Tree of Knowledge (Elective Affinities IV)
Larry Gottheim
1981United States58 minColour
It started with filming the tree. Something was released in that manner of filming seemingly farthest removed from the procedure of the early films. I first thought a simple ordering of this rich material might be enough, something related to BARN RUSHES. But the essential feelings and meanings of that filmiming held themselves back. So I pursued sounds of comparable texture and richness, from which material the 'deaf bar" (thanks to Roger Jacoby and Pittsburgh Filmmakers) and stockyard (thanks to Alan Berliner and U. of Oklahoma) sounds attached themselves to the work. But the film only came into its form-life with the idea of linking this deep-rooted and far-outreaching tree material with that film on paranoia that had fascinated me for many years. (…)–L. G
Larry Gottheim is a key figure in the history and development of American avant-garde cinema through the 1970s, born in 1936. In the first period of his work in the early 1970s, the films were made as sequence-shots (continuous or semi-continuous shooting. Constantly evolving throughout his career, his film work gradually transformed into a cinema of presence and observation. While addressing the genres of landscape, diary and found-footage film, Gottheim's cinema is constructed on a direct and sensual experience that collides with complex repetitive structures.

Surveillance Technology That Uses AI To Track Social Distancing And Mask Wearing In Workplace Raises Serious Concerns
Source: Mayukh Saha, truth theory
Workplaces are eager to avoid the spread of the coronavirus and are equipping their security camera with AI software that can track their workers' compliance with health guidelines, which includes wearing a mask or social distancing.
The software is deemed to be quite crucial, while COVID-19 is on a rampage all around the world. The surveillance technology allows the company to showcase how they are monitoring their workers and enforcing the mandates safely.
"You already are hearing about things like 'Waze for occupancy and people movement,' as opposed to vehicle movements—not just self-reporting, but automated reporting on traffic information of people in different indoor locations and public areas," says Mahesh Saptharishi, the CTO of Motorola Solutions, which is developing a system of this kind. "I think that's just going to be more common until people feel safe enough." He added that things like fever detection could be useful for the masses but people also need to practice social distancing and wearing masks often.
Motorola's Avigilon subsidiary, for example, is developing software for its latest-generation security cameras that will detect when people are standing too close or not wearing masks. Take a look at the technology here. The company hopes to start implementing this by the end of June, for the factories and offices and believes that such tech can be beneficial for the retail stores and supermarkets.
"The last thing we want is for the governor to shut all our projects down because no one is behaving," said Jen Suerth, vice president at Chicago-based Pepper Construction, which introduced software from SmartVid.io this month to detect workers grouping at an Oracle Corp project in Deerfield, Illinois.
Samarth Diamond intends to deploy the intelligence from Glimpse Analytics as soon as their polishing factory reopens in Gujarat, India. Two shopping centers based in Michigan, owned by RPT Realty, will initiate distance tracking from RE Insight in just 2 weeks.
Buyers are expecting the tech to work as they believe that similar tools were previously used to profile the shoppers entering their stores and find helmet scofflaws on construction sites.
Some tech consultants have advised their clients that they should not implement this AI technology and should invest in tools that would be required for a few months. Privacy activists are concerned with the increase of tracking people and are urging businesses to limit the use of Artificial Intelligence.
The Ethical Questions Asked About The AI
"The question becomes whether the tech remains after the public health problem goes away, and that is the real privacy fear," said Al Gidari, a privacy expert at Stanford Law School. "Video in the store today to ensure social distancing remains to identify shoplifters tomorrow."
According to a survey, it was found out that several customers were of the opinion that such security cameras were cheaper than having people who would stand guard to check the practices.
Pepper Construction's Suerth said its SmartVid system has not flagged crowding issues yet because staffing has been limited. But Suerth said that as more crews arrive, the company will look at trends to issue reminders at "toolbox talks."
"It's another set of eyes on the site," Suerth said, adding that software is less prone to mistakes than people and the "accuracy we're seeing is really high."
Parth Patel Discusses His Ideas About The Software
Parth Patel, who is the manager of Samarth Diamond, stated that he could adjust the procedures when the AI software would identify spots where his 4,000 workers were clumping in busy areas. People who were tagged as not wearing their masks would be offered one by a review team.
"It will surely be helpful for the safety of employees and their comfort level, and it will be helpful to show it to authorities that we are adhering" to regulations, Patel said.
The calculations if people are really 6 feet away from one another and detecting face masks are all being tested now and are being launched on accelerated schedules. Some startups have even promised to spot coughing and sneezing.
"Most solutions will be in uncharted territory, without a proven track record, and likely susceptible to false positives and bugs," said Vinay Goel, a former Google Maps product leader who is now chief digital products officer at the tech unit of real estate services giant Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.

Traditionally, each Sunday in Advent has a theme, often: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Your church may use these themes in a different order or choose different themes based on the selected Scripture readings for those Sundays. Regardless, there is often some sort of progression through the four weeks of Advent, marked by the four candles in the Advent wreath, culminating in a service on Christmas Eve, where we light the Christ Candle in the middle.
Like the holiday season, in general, your church likely has a set of traditions tied to Advent - things you always do. Traditions are wonderful, but sometimes, doing the same things, the same way, in the same order, year after year can begin to feel a bit stale. You may feel like you're going through the motions without pausing to reflect and experience the journey anymore. If you can relate, perhaps it's time to consider a few new things you can do in worship to help bring this season to life once more.
Most of you probably include a moment in worship to light the Advent wreath. This is usually accompanied with some sort of spoken liturgy - a reminder about what each candle signifies and a prayer for it to be so in our lives. Some liturgy may be short and sweet, no more than a few sentences. Others may include a passage of Scripture and a prayer, and still others may include a responsive element to be spoken by the congregation.
Adding a musical underscore to this part of the service is a simple and meaningful way to make this moment stand out, to help everyone focus on the words being read, the prayers being offered, the light being shared. Start the underscore as the reading begins and continue through the lighting of the candle(s).
Use the singing bell technique with a few handbells or a simple keyboard chord progression.
Keep it very simple and unhurried. Leave lots of space.
Choose a key and meter for your underscore that connects to whatever music came before or a piece that will come after.
Choose a register that will complement (not compete with) the voice of the person reading.
For more suggestions and ideas, see Creating Unique Musical Underscores for Worship: My Step-By-Step Process.
One of my favorite responses to sing during Advent is the Taize hymn, "Gloria, Gloria" (UMH #72). Side note: If you choose to incorporate no. 1 above into your worship services, this is a great way to prepare the congregation for the response they're about to sing. Be sure to create a musical underscore in the same key and meter as the response.
You can do something similar with a hymn like, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." Add handbells, flute, or another solo instrument; sing a different verse with the chorus each week; and play it in a different style (and perhaps, with different harmonizations).
Use the three wise men from the nativity set and have them travel through the sanctuary, moving a little closer to the stable and the Christ Child (presumably at the front of the church) each week. Draw attention to the wise men's journey during children's time each week and talk about times when we've had to travel a long distance or wait a long time for something special. Tie this in to the Advent themes: hope, peace, joy, and love, or whatever your church is choosing to focus on this season.
Use a simple handbell acclamation or processional (like Glorioso - available for free in the Resource Library!), each week getting closer to the front of the sanctuary. For instance, the first week, you might play the acclamation from the narthex. The second week, you might play from the back of the church. The third week, you might play standing in the center aisle. The fourth week, you might play processing in all the way to the front, and on Christmas Eve, you might play standing in a semicircle in the chancel.
Weave reminders into the liturgy each week about the parts of the journey you've experienced together during this season. Remind the congregation what it means to hold on to hope and live in peace, experience joy and walk in love.
Reflecting on where you've come from and what you've learned along the way brings new purpose and understanding to where you're going.
Advent calendars are a great way to mark each day of this special season. Build anticipation for the season to come, when we'll celebrate God's gift of love, light, and redemption for the world.
A few years ago, I wrote a post featuring eight festive Advent calendars in all shapes and sizes - all tangible ways to experience and share the journey of Advent.
Last year, I designed one myself - a simple, printable Advent Hymn Calendar based on your favorite Advent hymns and Christmas carols. Each set includes 25 double-sided cards and four mini art prints that match the themes from the Sundays in Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love.
season of hope and anticipation leading up to Christmas.
Print and display it at home, in your choir room, your church office, or in a central location in the church for all to see and experience together. Use it in children's choir or Sunday School as a way to talk about the season of Advent and what it means.
How does your church celebrate Advent? What special traditions do you have as a congregation?

Middle finger often in the middle of sports controversy
Erik Brady
Corrections/clarifications: A previous version of this story included an incorrect nickname for Don Meredith.
A football player from the University of Tennessee raised a pair of middle fingers to the University of Alabama student section Saturday. A Michigan player offered the same twin salute to the Penn State crowd on the same night.
Their double-digit discourtesies were sophomoric in tone but historic in nature: The middle finger predates the Middle Ages. Diogenes raised his to Demosthenes in ancient Greece. The Romans had a name for the obscene insult: digitus impudicus — impudent finger.
So the finger form for F-you goes back two millennia and more. Ah, but the first known photograph of someone flipping the bird comes from American sports. That means Tennessee's Rashaan Gaulden and Michigan's Lavert Hill are the latest exemplars of an uncivil sporting tradition begun at least as far back as 1886 by workhorse pitcher Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn.

On opening day at New York's Polo Grounds that year, Radbourn's Boston Beaneaters met their National League rival New York Giants. Take a careful look at the joint team photo taken that day. There's Radbourn in the back row, far left, with his middle finger slyly extended. It's hard to notice at first — and then there it is. Once seen, it can't be unseen: Old Hoss giving the ol' middle finger to the Giants, or maybe the world, a timeless insult frozen in time.
"If Old Hoss can appear in a photograph from the 19th Century," Robert Thompson tells USA TODAY Sports, "that's enough tradition for me to say that the middle finger is a part of the great American pastime."
Thompson is founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University — and one of the great moments of sports-television history intersects with one of the great moments of middle-finger history.
The Oakland Raiders were pummeling the Houston Oilers 34-0 at the Astrodome on Monday Night Football in 1972 when cameras panning the crowd found an unhappy Oilers fan who offered a middle-fingered hello. Color analyst Don Meredith delivered a colorful riposte: He thinks his team "is No. 1."
"That belongs in the middle finger Hall of Fame," Thompson says. "And we know what the trophy will look like."
Old Hoss is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He won a record 59 games for the Providence Grays in 1884, just a couple of seasons before his hide-in-plain-sight middle-finger photo. And lest you think that the placement of his digit could have been some sort of benign accident, Radbourn went rogue again in 1887, when he appeared on an early baseball card with hand on hip, middle finger extended.
Radbourn biographer Edward Achorn chose that image for the cover of his book Fifty-Nine in '84: Old Hoss Radbourn, Barehanded Baseball and the Greatest Season a Pitcher Ever Had.
"He's got this innocent expression on his face and then he's doing that on the side," Achorn says. "They airbrushed out the finger from some of the cards that were released, but obviously the image survived."
Achorn, editorial page editor of the Providence Journal, says Radbourn was known for a sense of humor and a taste for drink: "One of his relatives claimed he drank up to a quart of whiskey a day at the height of his career." And now Old Hoss is sometimes better known for a single finger on his left hand than for winning 59 games in a single season with his right.
Night of so many fingers
On the same night that the Tennessee and Michigan players delivered double-barreled salutes, Kevin Durant flashed a single finger at the Memphis crowd in the closing seconds of Golden State's loss to the Grizzlies. At first observers saw it as a middle finger but — upon further review — it turned out he'd actually extended his ring finger, apparently as a way of saying he and his Warriors have NBA championship rings and the Grizzlies don't.
"It's not the middle finger," Thompson says, "but it's middle-finger adjacent."
Also on the same Saturday — the night of so many fingers — Josh Jackson of the Phoenix Suns got into trouble by responding to a Los Angeles Clippers fan who'd been heckling him. Jackson appeared to aim an imaginary weapon — not a handgun, but a hand gun — at the heckler. Jackson's explanation is a classic. He hadn't meant to simulate a gun at all.
"I kind of wanted to put up the middle finger to him," Jackson said, "but I didn't do that because I felt like I was really being watched so I kind of halfway did it."
Jackson got fined $35,000 for making "a menacing gesture" and for "inappropriate language," since he'd also mouthed a profanity, the one so often associated with the middle finger.
The gesture, like the profanity, is obscene. Still, these days the gesture is common enough to have lost much of its original meaning. Thompson says when a middle schooler sneaks a middle finger into a photo (shades of Old Hoss) it's meant as trickster stunt — naughtier than G-rated bunny ears but not necessarily X-rated in intent.
Middle finger today, apology tomorrow
Diogenes is the Greek philosopher — and middle-finger flipper — who, according to legend, carried a lamp in daylight as he searched in vain for an honest man. He wouldn't need his lamp to find fellow flippers in the world of sports. The internet is awash with them.
Award extra points to those who flip off their own fans. New Orleans Saints coach Mike Ditka did it at a game in 1999. New York Yankees pitcher Jack McDowell did it at a game in 1995 — and the tabloids dubbed him "The Yankee Flipper."
Rex Ryan gave a one-finger salute to Miami Dolphins fans at a mixed martial arts event in South Florida in 2010. The New York Post gleefully ran the photo on its front page under the headline: REX-RATED.
Dolphins running backs Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in August 1972. Csonka is seated on his helmet under a goal post with a middle finger extended on his sock above the ankle. (Old Hoss would have approved.) Bad karma did not follow: That year the Dolphins went on to the only undefeated season in NFL history.
Players are by no means the only transgressors. Fans have been known to flip off opposing players, and each other. (Yes, we're looking at you, Oakland Raiders fans.)
Double birds bedevil the Buffalo Bills. Dolphins linebacker Bryan Cox unleashed a pair before a 1993 game in Buffalo; he got fined $10,000, apparently establishing a price of $5,000 per finger. The late Bud Adams, then owner of the Tennessee Titans, aimed a pair at the Bills' sideline during a 2009 game in Nashville; he got fined $250,000, or $125,000 per digit, which is a fair amount of inflation.
You might think Adams should have known better. He owned the Oilers when Dandy Don got off his "No. 1" one-liner on Monday Night Football. Adams apologized, said he'd gotten carried away. That's often the arc of these things: Middle finger today, apology tomorrow.
Sure enough, this week the Tennessee and Michigan college football players offered apologies for flipping off opposing crowds in anger. That begs a question: Which emotion — anger or apology — is the honest one?
We'll leave that to Diogenes.


On the evening of April 7, 1940, two days before the Nazis invaded Sigrid Undset's homeland, the Nobel prizewinner was in Oslo speaking at a meeting of the Norwegian Students' Association. The guest of honor was Catholic Worker co-founder Dorothy Day. Neither woman could have imagined that they'd meet again, but two nights after the event, Nazi forces invaded Norway and Undset would soon flee to America where she would again encounter Day.
To avoid being detained and possibly used as a puppet of Nazi propaganda, Undset and her son made a desperate and dramatic crossing into neutral Sweden. When she learned that her oldest son, Anders, had been killed in action near her Lillehammer home, she and Hans fled to America. Undset would settle in Brooklyn Heights for the remainder of the war.
Undset had been offered lecture tours in America, writes Yola Miller Sigerson in The Art of Compassion: A Biography of Sigrid Undset, and she hoped her speaking might convince the Americans to enter World War II.
One aches for the heartbroken struggle of this accomplished woman whose griefs in just a few years had included the death of her daughter, mother and oldest son. Undset needed to provide for herself and her son and had to brush up on her English to do so.
The defeat of Hitler was all that mattered to her and she wanted to make a good impression on her audience so that she could convince them of the importance of winning the war.
The Algonquin was a hub for writers and socialites, but it didn't suit Undset. She settled in an apartment in Brooklyn's Norwegian community, with a church she could attend nearby.
Depending on her audience, Undset lectured not only on the European situation, but on literature and history, cooking, gardening and the saints, though she always maintained her underlying purpose.
"I am working so that the chips fly from my fingernails," she wrote in a letter home.
Undset attended dinners at the Knopf's home as well as the annual banquets "where she and other Nobel Prize winners were expected to be 'on display.'" She disliked the opulence of fundraisers. "There was something obscene about having to serve people dinner in an elegant hotel in order to move them to donate money to those who were starving," Sigerson notes.
[Dorothy Day] is not in the least bit beautiful, but in her simple, nearly poor little party dress she was one of the most beautiful people that I have ever seen. Heroine and Saint, that is what one feels when one is close to her. She is worth the whole trip just to have met her again.
Meanwhile, the fate of Norway and those she loved was a constant worry. Undset learned that the Gestapo had taken over her Lillehammer home. They had taken down trees in order to pave the front for a parking lot.
It must have given Undset immense satisfaction when First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt gave her a secret assignment.
She and Arne Skoen were asked to compile a list with exact locations of Norway's libraries, historic buildings, and artistic and scientific repositories which would be protected should the Allies save her country, but which in German hands would become targets of destruction. Undset spent days at libraries and archives, devotedly preparing the requested document for her homeland's protection.
News that the Germans were taking hostages, maiming, imprisoning and burning in the land she loved was a constant strain. In addition to speaking and writing, Undset was filling her apartment with crates of items purchased on sale that would be in short supply at home: bedding, clothes and household goods. As soon as the war was over, she boarded a ship for the journey home and arranged for the crates to follow as soon as possible.
In her final years Undset, a lay Dominican, stayed for a time with the Dominican Sisters in Oslo and worked on a biography of St. Catherine of Siena.
"Doing her life is not easy when you are no saint yourself," she confided to a friend. The well-honored author of 39 books received another crushing blow when the book she'd labored to write was rejected.
But Undset was honored as well, receiving The Grand Cross of the Order of St. Olav "for eminent services to literature and to the nation." She died in 1949 at the age of 67. Norway still reveres her. Undset's portrait appears on postage stamps and on a Norwegian banknote. Her home is a national monument.
St. Catherine of Siena was published in Norway in 1951 and in the United States in 1954. It is still in print, offered by Ignatius Press, which has also released a new edition of her novel, Ida Elisabeth.
Undset is also among the celebrated women whose names were approved by the International Astronomical Union to identify the craters on the planet Venus.
That's right. A crater on Venus bears the name Undset.
The novelist herself had a more enduring destiny as her highest hope, however. She was alone when she died, but her life was a quest for the Love that spoke the stars and planets into being.
Undset's is a life worth celebrating. A life worth sharing with every girl you know.

The Proprietas Network is an initiative created by a team of researchers who come from different areas, History, Law and the Arts. It aims to foster discussions about the idea of common good, historicizing and problematizing the notion of private property, which is often taken as natural and absolute, as some of the best-known interpreters of liberalism have argued. The Proprietas Network has the objective of working as a means for debate and reflection on the subject of property, for the production and dissemination of research as well as for the exchange and interaction among researchers whose work is concerned about the preservation and defense of collective interests.
The research projects developed by Proprietas Network are coordinated by the historian Márcia Motta, professor of the History Department of the Fluminense Federal University [Universidade Federal Fluminense – UFF], CNPq researcher and "Nosso Estado Scientist" [Cientista do Nosso Estado] with the support of Faperj.
What is property? This apparently quite simple question has, by itself a history and writing about it is one of the most inglorious tasks. In 1840, while publishing a book with the title of Qu'est-ce que la propriété?, Proudhon, one of the most important anarchist thinkers, criticized the idea of private property assuring it was "le suicide de la societé". When advocating in defense of property, Proudhon brought an issue that permeated throughout all history of humanity into debate. Confronting such theme aroused western intellectuality's appetite and caused the emergency of new ideas and values, which were translated in innumerous pieces. Arguments on the function and the historical necessity of property were many times answered with deduction, which highlighted the relation between property and poverty. Some authors tried to unveil the siamese relation between property and freedom, while the first is responsible for the conservation of the later, as John Locke emphasizes. Others, following Friedrich Engels' paths discussed the historical process that allowed the social division of labor and the property of means of production in its relation with the formation of the monogamous family and the State. Ultimately, the property theme gains relevance in the XIXth century and its problematization is still alive today.
The work made by the Proprietas Network is centered in three main thematic areas, each one is divided in two lines of research.
This line is centered in studies, which come from a reflection about the role of the State in the processes of innovation, favoring the analysis of the public policies which, aimed and aim to protect collective interests before individual interests or hegemonic groups.
In the interface between History and Law, this line focuses on the battles and relations between the individual and collective rights' dimensions. It specifically centers the construction in the legal field of the legitimizing and delegitimizing processes of properties and common goods.
This line analyses the production of knowledge, the democratization and access to information. It was first originated in the NEDAC research group. It is interested in the dialogue between Law, Cultural Production and what is called Creative Economy.
This line recovers the multiple sides of the author's rights and the scales of rights regarding the same cultural product. In the interface between Art, Law and History the construction process of art production is deconstructed.
In the interface between History and Economy, this line of research favors the studies that analyze the transference of patrimony, emphasizing the process of fortune building and its opposite, the formalizing of properties and the disputes and quarrels which involve patrimonial goods.
One of the important lines of the Rural History nucleus focuses on the agrarian laws in its relation with the social conflicts and movements in the country. Given that the land, a non reproducible good by nature and the historical discussion's main point about the concept of property, it is concentrated on the historical dimension – although it's not continuous – of the quarrels between individual and collective interests.


Introduction—What is a modular construction?
Modular construction refers to a building method wherein sections of pre-fabricated buildings are manufactured in a plant. Then later delivered to the customer in single or more complete modular sections. Modular construction enhances top-quality production and cost efficiency. Every unit of the pre-fabricated building is constructed in an enclosed facility. Wherein negative environmental factors are not allowed to weigh against the construction timeline.
Modular construction is becoming popular among homeowners due to some reasons.
Modular construction uses a strict control process that generates less waste, minimize site disturbance, reduce dust and other contaminants while enhancing tighter structure without damaging the environment.
The various components used in modular buildings can easily be expanded, relocated or reused at any time. Such flexibility enables you to adapt to future changes or expansions at your place of business or domicile.
Components of modular buildings are pre-engineered to pave the way for quick assembly during installation. A faster installation time results in a minimized cost of plant productivity.
Modular building components are installed quickly and efficiently. This results in a lower cost of labor when compared to traditional construction.
Modular homes are designed to be much more energy-efficient. Therefore means your monthly expense will be substantially reduced.
About 60-90% of modular building construction occurs in a secure factory. This efficiently eliminates weather barrier while allowing timely completion of projects.
Modular construction incorporates durable prefabricated materials that require very little maintenance beyond the occasional surface cleaning. This effectively eliminates the cost of surface repairs, repainting and other maintenance that bedevils the conventional building method.
Does Every Modular Home Look Alike?
The popular misconception is that all modular homes look alike, but that isn't the case. Modular homes have no limitations in construction. You can suggest and create any style of your choice. Almost every host plan can be converted into a modular home. This means you can build your ideal modular home. Here is a great video from Intermodal Structures, that shows how modular construction is put together.
Homes built using modular construction appraises similarly as their on-site built counterparts. They do not depreciate.
Most building companies that offer modular home construction has a department dedicated to CAD (Computer Aided Design).
Concerning taxation, depreciation for modular construction is just 7 years while that of conventional construction is 39 years.
Modular construction has a lot of benefits and uses for your comfort, and you can always acquire the best with the right information and company. Your budget aside, you can obtain a special construction loan valid for one year to aid your modular construction needs.

Erich Strenger (1922-1993) - an author, photographer, designer and illustrator - left his mark on the look of Porsche during the company's formative years in the early '50s and '60s with a design language that, for the most part, continues to bear his signature to this day, along with countless print products for the successful maker of sports cars, including Christophorus - Zeitschrift für die Freunde des Hauses Porsche, the brainchild of Erich Strenger and Richard von Frankenberg. Over the course of a collaborative relationship with Porsche spanning more than thirty years, the graphic artist, who started out working alone, founded an advertising agency in the heart of Stuttgart with a staff of up to eleven permament employees. There, Strenger would later create countless racing posters, much like he had designed in his early days of working for Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche KG as a freelancer in the early '50s.
Through his work, he was instrumental in influecing and molding the image of the Porsche brand as we know it today. This book about Erich Strenger showcases a first-ever comprehensive collection of his work created over the course of his collaboration with Porsche between 1951 and 1988. However, this monographic and monothematic publication does not claim to be an all-encompassing catalog of his body of work. It brings the noteworthy highlights of his work to the forefront to focus attention on the designer's approaches and methods.
