The Tate Collection recently released their metadata on github, the first 'big data' set that has piqued my interest enough to download it and have a play.
For the record, I'm a big data skeptic, to me it seems to be a buzzword which translates as: "We've spent all this time and money collecting lots of disparate data, surely there's something interesting in there if we look hard enough?".
However, with that caveat, it was with a mixture of excitement and trepidation that I stepped into the data. The Tate data has all the expected attributes about the artworks, title, artist, date, media etc. but more interestingly there are hierarchical metadata associated with each artwork – effectively a tree of tags.
My first investigation was to see how the top level categories are represented in the data over time, perhaps it would reveal an interesting shift in themes, showing the changing nature of artistic expression (and/or curatorial fashions).
Here's a graph of numbers of artworks tagged with the top level metadata. Be aware this isn't a true representation of the actual numbers of artworks, rather the number of tags (artworks can have multiple tags, or appear in multiple top level categories). There are interesting peaks around the early/mid 19th C. and the 1970s.
Here are the actual numbers of artworks by year.
The graphs are very similar, suggesting that there is a consistent level of tagging for all artworks.
Here's the same view, normalized to show the variation in proportion of main subject over time.
What's interesting in this view is that this is not about the quantity of artworks in each category, per se, but rather about the distribution of the tags. These metadata tags are human curated, someone looked at the artwork and made a judgement about a range of attributes. Some are simple enough, particularly for representational works – people, places, activities etc.
However if we travel deeper into the tree some of the categories are much more subjective, and these categories are often the most interesting to explore.
Imagine how it feels to look at an artwork and decide that it represents any of the above qualities. It seems quite difficult to me, but thankfully The Tate have invested the resources into the endeavour and we get to reap the benefits.
The dataset contains over fifteen thousand subjects, so it's not immediately obvious how to approach the problem of navigating the data.
To get a feel for the data I built a rudimentary tool which allows you to drill down through the categories and find the artworks which match. It's already proving to be a fascinating rabbit hole into the collection, throwing up interesting and exciting juxtapositions of works.
Click the image below to try it out.
This dataset is a machine-readable representation of the artistic space of the Tate Collection. There are meanings implicit in the hierarchy of labels of the artworks. Whilst machines that can truly 'see' artworks remain in the realm of science fiction, the augmentation of these artworks with human-curated metadata massively expands the ways in which a large collection can be automatically navigated.
The data effectively offers a new representational landscape overlaid on top of the collection. There are an infinite number of paths through this landscape. Normally our path through a collection is in the hands of the curator – works are grouped by artist, period, movement or other curatorial perspective and we are to an extent bound by their decisions.
With this metadata, we could curate our own collection based on our personal preferences and desires, or perhaps at the whims of an algorithmic curator. Don't get me wrong, the role of the human curator can be integral to the artistic experience, however these kinds of data open up a new realm of possibilities.
Playing with the dataset so far has prompted a number of ideas about how to auto-curate paths through the collection, but I've also become aware of the dangerously seductive nature of slicing and dicing something as complex as an art collection on the basis of metadata alone. I am navigating a space one level removed from the artworks, a space defined by the Information Architecture decisions of the designers, and the tagging decisions of the humans who actually entered the data.
I can already see how the contours of this landscape can lead to automated decisions about the relative relevance of one artwork over another. Are we looking at a future where poorly marked up artworks effectively condemned to a dusty backroom gallery of the internet? and perhaps the art stars of the machine-readable future are those with the best tag clouds?
I've made an automated version of Sir Nicholas Serota out of the data.
I have only recenly started reading about the big data technologies and applications and it was frankly way beyond me. This whole article was very interesting and I specially liked the last bit about the art stars being those with the best cloud tags.
Full disclosure: I work at Tate as Lead Developer.
This is a fascinating analysis of the Tate data. Thank you for digging so deep—especially into the subject index. This provides a new way for me of approaching our information and I'd like to give it more time in the coming days and weeks. Drop me a line if you have any questions.
Great read! Wondering what tool you used to mine the data and visualise it?
Thank you for this post, it was really interesting! I work in a museum as a digital collection manager and we tag our collection as well, for the same reasons as Tate, I would guess, e.g. to make it possible to navigate an online representation of the collection. To your last questions/remarks/worries: I think that what you describe is not so different from the fate of art and literature always. The works of authors and artists have always been at the mercy of their public, and what lives on in our cultural canon is not so much a result of being the better representatives for their period/culture, but more often of the whims of the public and the ways of the history, and of the politics and ideologies that governs our taste. I guess what I am trying to say is that as always — whether we are tagging, curating an exhibition or writing a course syllable — we need to be aware of our limitations and to make sure that the quality of our work is consistent and that it opens a horizon that is wider than our personal preferences. And as users of data sets we need to know of their limitations, consider for instance the very good project The Republic of Letters, http://republicofletters.stanford.edu — The conclusion on this reflection of mine is that we should welcome this new opportunity and investigate well into it and not be alarmed of consequences that really aren't that different from what has always happened within the world of art and literature. I guess the best thing we can do is keep our eyes open wide while working on as best we can 🙂 Thanks again, it's fascinating to see what can be done with data sets as this!


What administration officials have insisted is only a "trade dispute" appears closer to becoming a trade war.
After Washington slapped 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum from Mexico and Canada, Mexico has retaliated with tariffs on a diverse range of American exports. Canada is said to be considering a similar response.
The Mexican tariffs target U.S. pork, produce, bourbon, and steel – products chosen with a political objective in mind. With midterm elections looming, the tariffs are crafted to affect states and regions of the country where Republican politicians appear most vulnerable.
The tariffs will make those U.S. products more expensive for Mexican consumers. But in an odd twist, American consumers could eventually pay less, especially for pork products.
Mexico is a huge importer of American pork. With tariffs raising the price by 20 percent, Mexican consumers may purchase less of it, meaning the country may end up buying a smaller quantity of U.S. pork products.
American producers would either have to reduce production, find another market, or sell more domestically, which would increase the supply and lower prices in the U.S. In an immediate response, hog futures prices dropped by 2 percent on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Virginia farmers' pain, however, could make it harder for Republicans to capture a U.S. Senate seat from Warner's colleague, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who is seeking reelection.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stepped up his criticism of the Trump administration in recent days, taking special offense to the "national security" rationale Washington used to justify steel and aluminum tariffs on its close ally and trading partner.
The U.S. announced tariffs on Canadian and Mexican steel and aluminum after talks stalled on a renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The Trump administration has held out the possibility of scrapping the treaty entirely and negotiating bilateral trade agreements, something both Canada and Mexico oppose.

THE END OF THE MULTICULTURAL HOAX; REAL DANGER IS VLAAMS BELANG THOUGH.
Last Saturday, June 24, a 54-year old passenger on a commuter bus in Antwerp, Guido Demoor, was beaten to death on a bus by six Moroccans of which several were underage. The reason? The six were running amok and damaging the bus' interior. When Mr. Demoor in a non-agressive tone (according to witnesses) asked them to stop it, the six mercilessly started to kick and beat him. The victim died on the spot from heart failure. Mr. Demoor was a bus driver himself on his way to work. Pray for him.
Although the bus was full of native Belgians, not one interfered. The six young criminals pulled the emergency stop and fled. Although fairly precise descriptions of the perpetrators were broadcast by radio and TV nobody from the Moroccan community stepped forward. On Monday three (some sources speak of five) of the murderers were arrested by officers of the SIE (Speciale Interventie Eenheid - Special Intervention Unit) in an Antwerp North neighborhood barely a few hundred meters from where they boarded the bus, no. 23, on Saturday.
Dendermonde is a sleepy town to the southwest of Antwerp. It appears that the sleepy days are over though. On the edge of town is a housing complex known as "De Serbosblokken" (the Serbos blocs), although some prefer to call them "Klein Chicago" - Little Chicago. Five concrete monsters with 192 flats and 429 inhabitants, white as well as colored. It may not be nice to say it, but the non-white blocs are notorious for drugdealing. Segregation is a fact, and tensions were known to be rising. Last week, afaik for the first time in Dendermondes recent lovely multicultural history, there were violent riots between the two groups, resulting in four wounded, of which one was for some time in mortal danger. Interestingly, all four of them whiteys. The reason? The non-whites were armed with knives, baseball bats and metal rods, the whites only had their bare hands. It appears the flame that lit the powderkeg was an incident whereby a black boy harassed the inhabitants of one white bloc by frantically and simultaneously ringing all apartment bells on the access audio/video unit in the entrance hall, upon which the unit caught fire. Thereupon a fight broke out, but apparently one side was better prepared.
Also last week, bus drivers on the trajectory Antwerp-Recreational Domain De Ster near Sint-Niklaas, roughly between Antwerp and Ghent, went on strike because they feel they can no longer cope with the violence of youngsters of Moroccan origin who board their buses by the tens, terrorize the passengers, and damage the interior. The incident that caused the strike occurred two weeks ago, when a bus driver was once more spit at, insulted, and physically assaulted. The local Christian Union (ACV - Algemeen Christelijk Vakverbond) demands that the Sint-Niklaas City Council implements measures first to guarantee the safety of passengers and bus drivers.
However, according to the tolerant, democratic bigshots of the ruling poitical class and their lackeys in the media, the entertainment world and the countless government organizations meant to "reach out" to the immigrant community, the real danger comes from the xenophobic, hatemongering Vlaams Belang, which should be demonizing our immigrants. The posters below however, with to the left Uncle Adolph and to the right VB-strongman Filip Dewinter, show us that when it comes to demonizing, the PC cabals have nothing to learn from the VB.
What is not immediately confirming the ruling theories about the VB as a racist party is the fact that lately one can observe a greater appeal of the VB towards... immigrants. One of these is Aisha Van Zele, a 21-year old student of Sri Lankan origin from Lokeren, northwest Flanders. She was active in the liberal VLD party (just as my immigrantbabyblooddrinking myself) and recently shifted her allegiance to the Vlaams Belang. Miss Van Zele motivates this step as follows: "I am very interested in politics, but in the VLD I got the feeling I only had to be pretty and keep my mouth shut. I have a clear opinon on safety and migrants and in the VB I am allowed to bring it forward." Miss Van Zele said too, however, that what finally made her do what she had been considering for some time was the fact that Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht had called ALL the VB voters responsible for a racist murder in Antwerp one month ago, whereby an 18-year old lunatic killed a toddler and her Malinese nanny and severely wounded a Turkish woman.
After outing herself as a VB member, Miss Van Zele, who worked part-time in a fashion shop, was fired. Probably not because the shop owner is himself hostile to the (business-friendly) VB, but because having an adherent of a party that has been stigmatised for almost 30 years as Nazis might harm sales you know.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that the following article contains images of deceased persons.
The death of Malcolm Charles Smith on 29 December, 1982, shocked the entire country.
Taken from his family as a child and having lived a life of institutionalisation and deprivation, he took his own life while he was a prisoner in NSW.
Ten years later, Richard Frankland tried to make sense of the man's tragic passing in the documentary film Who Killed Malcolm Smith?
In the process, Frankland was deeply critical of the state government for not taking the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody seriously.
In the film, Frankland (who originally helped investigate Malcolm's death for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody) revisits Malcolm's family and friends 10 years after his death. Through them, we hear the story of this man's life and by extension, how the Indigenous prison population doubled between 1987 and 1991.
In the seminal book Living Black,1978, Kevin Gilbert wrote, "The real horror story of Aboriginal Australia today is locked in police files and child welfare reports. It is a story of private misery and degradation, caused by a complex chain of historical circumstance, that continues into the present." It is this quote that officially opens the Report of the Inquiry into the Death of Malcolm Charles Smith.
The full report describes 'two Malcolms': the Malcolm loved by his friends and family, the real Malcolm; and the Malcolm created by the assessment of experts, full of stereotypes and assumptions.
The following passage from that report enunciates this idea, and the message that is also captured in the film: that Malcolm Smith's death was pointless and fit within a pattern that tragically still occurs.
There is an extraordinary contrast between the Malcolm Smith of real life and the Malcolm Smith of the official files. Everyone except those who sat down to write reports on his intelligence found him, despite his illiteracy, intelligent, talented, able to converse on many subjects, a natural leader, an outstanding sportsman and a person of generous spirit. This is the picture that one gets from listening to such diverse sources as a chief inspector of police, a sergeant of police, prisoners who shared cells with Malcolm, his family, his solicitor, a nurse, an occupational therapist, and a parole officer who took the trouble to interview him on a number of occasions and win his confidence.
Yet the official files, compiled by the experts who tested him or assessed him, show a person at best of low average intelligence and in the view of some, a mental defective. There appear to be a number of reasons for this - stereotyping, the use of inappropriate tests, the confusion of illiteracy with intelligence, the failure to recognise the effects of extreme emotional and intellectual deprivation, and Malcolm's non co-operation with those whose attentions he apparently resented, ranging from outright refusal to be interviewed to outrageous leg-pulling with fanciful stories of his past or teasing of the interviewer, A lot of it was probably also due to simple uncritical acceptance and repetition of what was already on the files.
Malcolm's files start at Kinchela which was notorious for stereotyping its Aboriginal boys as of low intelligence. In his discharge report the manager deduced that 'Malcolm's IQ would be in a very low range, as he can do very little academically.', not pausing to consider that Malcolm's academic deficiencies might have been due to Kinchela itself. He was then given a WISC test which found him mildly mentally retarded on a verbal level of functioning and in the dull normal range on the non-verbal level.
Such tests have been found to be greatly misleading when used to evaluate the intellectual potential of children of poor, cultural and ethnic minority groups. But this initial evaluation dogged Malcolm in the files for the rest of his life, sometimes with the lower figure for verbal ability being treated as a general statement about his intelligence. A psychiatrist, with whom Malcolm may have been playing games in the interview, found him on 'rough clinical testing' to be a mental defective, a description which was thought by a psychologist to be confirmed when Malcolm politely indicated that he did not wish to see him.
The description was taken up most enthusiastically by a parole officer to whom Malcolm behaved in an agitated, teasing and belittling manner. She said that the psychiatrist's report 'indicates what is fairly obvious, that this lad is mentally defective, he is also aggressive by nature and no doubt not only born mentally deficient but what brains he may have had have probably been further damaged by his involvement in boxing and his heavy consumption of alcohol'. Malcolm's mythical career in boxing and his heavy consumption of alcohol seem to be part of the fiction which he foisted on unwelcome interviewers, as he was never out of custody long enough to claim either distinction.
The evidence provides a case study in the dangers of accepting 'expert' assessments at their face value. It illustrates too the danger of readiness to accept stereotypes, something which obviously affects many judgments on Aboriginal people.

Why can't carbon form an ionic bond?
My textbook says that a $\ce{C^{4+}}$ cation cannot be formed because it requires a lot of energy to remove 4 electrons. Formation of ionic bonds involve "removing" electrons and there seems to be enough energy there. So what's different for carbon?
The textbook also mentions that a $\ce{C^{4-}}$ anion cannot be formed because 6 protons cannot hold on to 10 electrons. Elements like chlorine form ionic bonds and end up with 18 electrons and 17 protons. I know there's just one more electron. So is $\ce{NaCl}$ possible because it's not very hard to hold on to 1 extra electron? In that case at what exact point does it become hard to hold onto the extra electrons?

$\begingroup$ Do you know about carbides? Some of them formally contain $\ce{C^{4-}}$. $\endgroup$ – Philipp Oct 13 '14 at 17:23
$\ce{C^{4+}}$ ions:
Single ions are really only observed in the gas phase. There is absolutely nothing that prevents a C4+ ion from being generated in the gas phase, given sufficient energy. Each successive electron removal requires additional energy though, so by the time you get to 4 electrons removed, you're looking at quite a lot of energy required. Note that this does not mean that $\ce{C^{4+}}$ ions are seen in compounds, just that they can be made in the gas phase. Any cation you can imagine can be produced in gas phase.
The difficulty arises when we want to do something with that carbon cation. If I want to make a compound with it, it can bond with other substances and make new bonds. Once that is done we can evaluate those compounds to tell whether the bond is truly ionic or not. In condensed phases or in solution, we look at how the parts of a compound interact with the particles surrounding them to decide whether to treat them as ions or not.
The best chance at making a C4+ ion would be to bond it to fluorine, which is an extremely electron-hungry element. When I actually try this, I find that the C-F bond is very polar, but the $\ce{CF_4}$ molecule that forms behaves as a covalent compound normally would. For example, it does not dissociate into ions when dissolved or melted and it doesn't form an ionic crystal in its solid form. As much as fluorine wants electrons, it doesn't want them enough to completely steal 4 of them from carbon, because the energy required to remove each electron becomes greater than the energy required to remove the one before it. It never gets to the point of $\ce{C^{4+}}$ and $\ce{F^{-}}$ ions being bonded.
Lead can form a +4 ion, $\ce{Pb^{4+}}$, in compounds such as lead fluoride. The reason that this can happen but carbon cations cannot is that the outermost electrons in a lead atom are much farther from the nucleus than those of a carbon atom and are easier to remove as a result.
$\ce{C^{4-}}$ ions:
In gas form this does not happen. Carbon's first electron affinity is positive, so we would expect to see it form $\ce{C-}$ ions in the gas phase if given free electrons to attract. Adding a second electron to this substance would require it to attract an electron against its already negative overall charge, and that is not energetically favorable.
In order to make the $\ce{C^{4-}}$ion in a compound, a species would have to donate 4 electrons to carbon. The attraction of carbon's nucleus to other atoms' electrons is just too low for that to happen. The best candidates for a cation in an ionic compound of this type would be either lithium or cesium, however, when we try to actually make this compound we get another class of ions, the carbides, which feature $\ce{C2^{2-}}$ ions. In short, it doesn't happen.
Phillip's comment regarding the carbides is a good one. There are a few metal carbides that feature carbon atoms bonding to a metal in the ratios we would expect if it were purely ionic, like $\ce{Mg2C}$. In these compounds the carbon does have a formal charge of -4, but the properties of the substance are such that it behaves like a covalent network compound rather than an ionic compound.
What is the limit of this process? Anions with -3 charge, like nitride or phosphide, do exist, though they require a very weakly electronegative species, like an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, to form an ionic compound.
Carbon atoms can carry a charge as part of an ion, but only when they are part of a larger species (again, like $\ce{C2^{2-}}$) and they do not carry 4 additional electrons per atom. Check out cyanide as another good example of this type of polyatomic ion.
Jason PattersonJason Patterson
$\begingroup$ Just a tiny nitpick: The electron affinity of carbon is positive according to its definition, the energy required to detach an electron from the singly charged negative ion. This of course does not affect anything in your logic. $\endgroup$ – Martin - マーチン♦ Oct 14 '14 at 7:30
$\begingroup$ Lead fluoride isn't ionic. $\endgroup$ – permeakra Feb 29 '16 at 9:20
$\begingroup$ @permeakra I'm not saying you're wrong, but can you provide a source for this? The only sources I can find say that it has "appreciable ionic character" unlike PbCl4, which is predominately covalent. $\endgroup$ – Jason Patterson Feb 29 '16 at 21:53
$\begingroup$ @JasonPatterson I guess, this belief comes from population analysis for PbF4 and PbCl4 that gives Pb charge +3.2 and +1.9 respectively. This analysis should not be trusted, since similar analysis for CH4 and CLi4 may give -0.47 and -0.50 respectively for carbon; and +0.2 for Li in LiH; which is an obvious BS. This comes from the flaws in calculation schemes for atomic charges. $\endgroup$ – permeakra Mar 1 '16 at 6:01

John McCallum had embarrassed Trudeau's Liberal government by saying Huawei Technologies Co Ltd Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou could make a strong argument against being sent to the United States.
In an unprecedented move, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on January 26 said he had fired his ambassador to China, who prompted a political furor with comments about Huawei's high-profile extradition case.
Trudeau said as recently as January 24 that he had no plans to replace McCallum, who apologized the same day for his remarks earlier in the week.
But the Toronto Star newspaper on January 25 quoted the envoy as saying that if Washington dropped the extradition request "that would be great for Canada". McCallum, 68, a long-time former Liberal cabinet minister, is not a trained diplomat.

A pet door in your home can provide both you and your pet with a great deal of freedom and convenience. No more will you need to interrupt your favorite television show, or get up in the middle of the night to let your dog out. Dinners will be more relaxed, knowing that you can just sit there, relax, eat, and hold conversations without having to let your dog in.
Many pet experts agree that pet doors are actually good for your dog. It gives your dog self esteem by giving him or her the freedom to move about the house as he pleases. It also assists in overcoming common behavioral issues such as housebreaking, destructive chewing, excessive barking, and clawing and scratching at furniture.
Remember though, that just because you have a dog door doesn't mean that you have an excuse not to exercise your dog. Nor does it mean that you can leave your dog alone for extended periods of time. Just because he has access to the yard doesn't mean that he doesn't crave attention, and to get out and see new things and smell new smells.
A dog door does have benefits that are very worthwhile, even if it doesn't exercise your dog for you. Here are some of the better ones.
No more interruptions in the evening, early morning, or any other time that you've got your hands full and can't let your dog out.
No more scratched up doors or chewed up carpets.
No more rude awakenings in the middle of the night.
No more feeling guilty if you are stuck in traffic on your way home.
No more "accidents" in the house because you couldn't get to the door in time.
When he's ready to come in, he does. No more waiting when it's too hot, cold, or lonely outside.
Growth of confidence because he can move about freely, deciding when and where he'd like to be.
Now that you know how the dog door will benefit you and your pooch, it's time to get to the store and pick one or buy it online. There are lots of different kinds of dog doors out there. The main thing to consider is the right size. Beyond that, you can purchase everything from a basic plastic flap, to a whole range of automatic and patio doors.
Since almost every dog door on the market is a rectangle, all you really need to work out is the width of the opening, and the height of the opening. The dog door must be just a bit wider than the widest part of your dog, and be a bit higher than your dog from his toes to his shoulders (on the back just behind the front legs). Remember also that puppies grow, so account for the adult size of your dog, not the size it is as a pup.
After that, it's a simple in and out procedure!

Countless clients, colleagues and friends have said something like this to me: "My job is good; not great. It pays the bills. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't do this. Maybe I'm not supposed to be in love with my career; lots of people don't love their job. I'm bored. It's okay for now."

These comments make me cringe. Most of us spend more waking hours at our jobs than with our families. Most of us also spend 40 years (or more) of our lives working. Shouldn't we all have a job we truly love? Shouldn't we all find work that lights us up inside? Shouldn't we enjoy being at work? I think so.
Since becoming a professional coach, I've encouraged clients to truly swing for the fences when it comes to their work. If you're not in love with your job and would like to improve it, here are four places you can start. Grab a pen.

1. What do you love to do?
If you could do anything at all, what would you do? If you had to work for no pay, what would you do? In the moments where you feel most happy at work, what are you doing? Is it the filing of reports; pouring over the financials; negotiating with clients; coaching your employees; or making presentations?
Often, people like some part of their job, just not all of it. What if you could love all of it? Honing in on the parts you love will help you identify the kind of work that lights you up. Once you know what it is, you can consider roles where you'd do more of the work you love.
In the past, when I did this exercise myself, I realized I loved coaching and mentoring others. I also loved writing and creating things like board reports or training manuals. I got to do those things often, but not always. My job also required me to spend time in risk, audit, compliance and technology.
While I loved my boss and the organization, I realized that for me to truly love my role, I'd need to be coaching more. That's where my idea of becoming a coach was born. Asking yourself what you truly love and what you don't is the first place to start.

2. What are your natural talents?
What have you been praised for doing well? What compliments have you received about your work? What are you naturally better than others at? All of us have natural talents — things that our brains and bodies are naturally more inclined to do better than others. When we practice and apply effort to our natural gifts, we often become superstars. Being a superstar feels good.
A job that utilizes your natural talents and gifts will fit like a glove. For example, communicating, teaching and building relationships have always come easily to me — technology, computer science and engineering have not.
Over the years, the praise I've gotten at work has all centered around my ability to inspire and engage people, but I've never once been complimented on my ability to solve technical problems. I'd be a terrible IT employee. It would take months or years for me to learn skills in space because I know I don't have a predisposition for it and I also am not interested in it. Doing what we're naturally good at feels great. Figuring out what you can be the best at is a great place to start.

3. What can you get paid well to do?
When we love our work and are naturally gifted at it, we tend to excel at it. When we excel, we contribute a tremendous amount of meaningful value. The right job will pay us for that value accordingly.
If you're pursuing your passion and are talented at it, you shouldn't be in a situation where you're just scraping by or barely making ends meet. If you're with the right company and you have the right boss, you should be able to command more than just a modest income — you should be able to thrive. If you're a top performer and crushing metrics, your pay should be commensurate. If it isn't, I encourage you to have a conversation with your boss or HR.
Perhaps others don't see you as you see yourself. Perhaps you need additional training or certification. Great! Do those things. But if you've had the conversation more than once and nobody cares, it's likely time to look for a role that sees your value and will pay you for it. The truly ideal job for you won't have you clipping coupons, so speak up and believe in worth.

4. What jobs work with your life?
Some companies have great reputations for being the first or the best. They're reputable organizations with well-known names. But some of them are also known for burning folks out. Work-life balance isn't a "thing" everywhere.
Some organizations expect their employees to work around the clock, even on weekends. While these companies are incredible training camps, especially for young people, they often struggle to retain long-term talent because most people want to have a personal life. If you've got a family or hobbies that are important to you, it's crucial that you don't settle for a job that restricts this. If you want a balanced and meaningful life, but have to regularly work nights and weekends, you're probably in the wrong job.
At some point, you'll feel that you're sacrificing something (like your family or those hobbies) and you'll feel incongruent and misaligned. Over time, that will breed resentment towards the job itself. A job that makes it nearly impossible to see your kids, stay in shape, take a class, join a club or see your friends isn't a very good job. I feel confident that you really can "have it all," and the right job is going to value your personal life as much as your professional one.
Finding the perfect job can be tough, but if you consider these four factors, it'll be within reach.

Georgia-Pacific to upgrade facility
ATLANTA - Georgia-Pacific announced that it is investing in its Madison, Georgia, plywood operations, with recent and planned investments expected to total $65 million.
This includes a planned $26 million upgrade to the mill's veneer dryers that will increase drying capacity by approximately 35 percent. Project completion is expected by the third quarter of 2015. This follows the replacement of the mill's wood yard in June totaling approximately $19 million.
Plans are also under way to modernize other equipment at the Madison facility, which would total approximately $20 million and include an upgrade of a lathe and expansion of a glue line and pressing operations. Decisions for those investments are anticipated to be made before the end of 2014.
"We're committed to serving our customers as the housing market and economy show a slow and steady improvement," said Andy Konieczka, vice president and general manager for Georgia-Pacific's plywood business. "The investments at Madison will allow us to continue to meet our customers' growing needs, help to sustain our operations and give the mill the opportunity to be in the top tier of plywood operations across the country."
"Georgia-Pacific's investment and expansion in Morgan County is a testament to our state's pro-business climate and top-ranked workforce," said Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal. "Companies such as this one are moving aggressively to meet demand, and Georgia stands ready to equip them with the resources they need to remain competitive in the global marketplace."
"We are pleased that Georgia-Pacific is continuing to invest in their operations here in Morgan County," added Andy Ainslie, chairman of the Morgan County Board of Commissioners. "As our largest employer, Georgia-Pacific's impact on our economy is significant. We look forward to maintaining our excellent working relationship well into the future."
Georgia-Pacific is also evaluating the potential restart of an idled plywood mill either in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida or North Carolina. Potential restart of an idled operation will be determined by market conditions, access to wood supply, an engineering analysis for required permitting, installation of equipment and facility upgrades. Following review and site selection, a restart could occur in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Georgia Pacific has 13 plywood facilities across the United States, two of which are located in Madison and Warm Springs, Georgia. The company employs approximately 6,200 people directly in the state of Georgia, with approximately 450 people located at the Madison operations. Total compensation and benefits for Georgia-Pacific employees located in Georgia is approximately $680 million directly, resulting in approximately $1.7 billion in indirect wages and benefits for the state.
Since 2006, Georgia-Pacific building products has invested nearly $2.5 billion in capital for property and equipment upgrades and acquisitions, including the 2007 purchase of several International Paper building products assets, the 2010 Grant Forest Products acquisition, and most recently, the $710 million acquisition of the former Temple-Inland Building Products assets.

In what we call a praise-worthy move, AAMISH Underground, who is India's first differently-abled DJ, will be opening Time Out 72 in Vagator, Goa.
Between 27th to 29th this December, gear up as Time Out 72 is all set to host multi-platinum recording artist Jason Derulo and World No. 1 DJ, Martin Garrix as it marks its debut in Vagator, Goa. Apart from a spectacular lineup of artists, Time Out 72, in a rather noteworthy development, has roped in Varun Khullar aka AAMISH Underground, who is India's first and the world's second, differently-abled DJ to open the music festival.
AAMISH Underground, a 26-year-old Delhi-based DJ, met with a fatal road accident in Manali back in 2014. After getting himself certified as an Electronic Music DJ/Producer from ILM Academy, Gurgaon and Point Blank Music School, London, AAMISH Underground went on to living his dream as he became a resident DJ at the popular nightclub Kitty Su. Taking inspiration from Sir Paul Johnson, a wheelchair-bound American DJ, AAMISH Underground has broken all stereotypes by being one of the few DJs who play on a wheelchair.
While the full lineup is not out as yet, the early bird tickets are available here. Also, check out Timeout72 Hours' Facebook page here for more news and updates.

Libraries in the Czech Republic are sharing and re-using a specialised open source content management system, Kramerius, to preserve historic documents and make them available online. The Kramerius software is developed with the support of the Library of the Academy of Sciences, the National Library, both in Prague, and the Moravian Library in the city of Brno.
A case study on Kramerius was published this week on Joinup.
The software is intended to be used for digitized library collections, monographs and periodicals. It can be used for maps, musical scores and illustrations and to provide access to selections of documents, articles and chapters.
Kramerius is part of a larger 'Czech Digital Library Project', aiming to digitise, help preserve for the long-term and make accessible the greater part of the resources of the National Library and the Moravian Library. "With the help of robotic scanners, over 50 million pages, or approximately 300 thousand volumes, should be digitized by 2019."
The Czech Digital Library project has a budget of CZK 20 million (about 800,000 euro), for the next three years.
System Kramerius is part of a larger National Digital Library Project, that aims to digitise, help preserve for the long-term and make accessible the greater part of the resources of the National Library and the Moravian State Library. "With the help of robotic scanners, over 50 million pages, or approximately 300 thousand volumes, should be digitized by 2019."
"One of the impulses that led to the creation of the Kramerius system was the floods of 2002", the case study shows. This flood damaged a large number of books in Czech archives and libraries. "In the process of recovering the damaged documents it was decided to make digital copies publicly accessible."
The open source solution is proving popular because it was originally built for the National Library and the Library of the Academy of Sciences, says its director, Martin Lhoták. "Other libraries considered this a good reason to start adopting the software for their own needs. Trust in open source products is based on who develops them and how many users already use them."

A recent surge in the cost of food has pushed a number of families further into poverty with Columbia Valley residents struggling to put food on their tables due to unexpected increases.
The Columbia Valley Food Bank recently reported a 14 per cent increase in use among local families between September and November 2015 compared to the same time period recorded locally from the last three years.
"We seem to be having a bit more of an increase than the national average," said Ronald Stainthorpe, board chair of the Columbia Valley Food Bank, while noting the use of Canadian food banks has increased by 26 per cent since 2008, according to the HungerCount 2015.
According to Food Banks Canada's annual report, more than 850,000 Canadians used food banks during March 2015, and of those, nearly 80,000 accessed a food bank for the first time.
But Stainthorpe added March is an unusually busy month at food banks everywhere.
He stated that Alberta had also seen an increase of 23.4 per cent (67,443 people assisted) in March 2015 according to the HungerCount 2015, and believes the economic downturn in Alberta and the East Kootenay region may be comparable.
"Alberta has gone up 23.4 per cent from one year to the next, which is much more than any other province so maybe the economic situation over there trickles over here," explained Stainthorpe.
But there's no such a thing as a typical food bank user.
Food Banks Canada data indicates that one in six food bank users are employed, and 67 per cent of households are helped by food banks live in rental housing and pay market-level rent.
Schwartz encourages the "financially vulnerable" to assess their situation, create a budget, prioritize needs and forget wants as well as to use the tools that are available.
Stainthorpe said the food bank typically needs canned fruit and veggies, meat, soup, rice, pasta and school snacks before the holidays.
The Columbia Valley Food Bank is open Tuesday and Thursday every week between 1 and 2 p.m., as well as 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday each month at a small space in the basement of the Invermere Public Library at 201-7th Avenue. It offers people access to food, safe handling procedures and healthy meal information. To make a donation or access programming, call the Columbia Valley Food Bank at 250-342-0850.

Inget nytt under solen (schwedisch für 'Nichts neues unter der Sonne') ist das zweite Studioalbum der schwedischen Progressive-Rock-Band Kaipa. Es erschien im Jahr 1976 bei Decca Records.

Entstehung und Veröffentlichung
Nach dem selbstbetitelten Debütalbum im Dezember 1975 und einer Tour im Frühjahr 1976 soll sich die Band mehrfach kurz vor der Auflösung befunden haben, da die Musiker von Perfektionismus getrieben waren und sich bei Proben nicht auf rhythmische Details einigen konnten. Doch Ende Juni gingen Kaipa ins Studio, um sämtliches neues Material seit dem Debütalbum aufzunehmen. Die Kompositionen stammten fast ausschließlich von Hans Lundin und Roine Stolt. Der Titel des Albums geht auf eine Frage des Präsidenten von Kaipas früherem Label Elektra zurück.

Musea legte Inget nytt under solen 1993 neu auf. Die Bonus-Titel bestanden aus englischsprachigen Neuaufnahmen anderer Stücke des Albums, einer Live-Version und einem älteren unveröffentlichten Stück. Das Album war 2005 auch in dem Boxset The Decca Years 1975–1978 von InsideOut Music enthalten.

Stil
Kaipa spielen auf dem Album abwechslungsreichen symphonischen Progressive Rock mit Clavinet, Fender Rhodes, Hammond-Orgel, Mellotron und markantem Rickenbacker-Bass. Es finden sich viele melodische Soli sowie elegante, "spacige" (oder "schräge") und bombastische Passagen. Trotz gelegentlicher Breaks sind die Strukturen meist nicht sehr komplex. Die Stimmung ist oft schwermütig.

Rezeption
Inget nytt under solen gilt heute als Klassiker des schwedischen Progressive Rock. Udo Gerhards von den Babyblauen Seiten lobt die "abwechslungs- und einfallsreich[en]" Kompositionen und sieht eine Stärke Kaipas "im geschickten und selbstverständlichen Zusammenfügen der verschiedenen Teile, von denen jeder eine eigene Stimmung und einen eigenen Charakter hat, aber dennoch alles eine Einheit bildet". Horst Straske urteilt: "Das ist traumhafter Progressive Rock und er beinhaltet all das, was diese schwedische Band so einzigartig macht."

A light nutty flavour that adds to the taste of the cooked food, its adaptability to various types of cooking and, above all, the answer to the Indian penchant for deep-fried foods. Thanks to the high temperature it can reach, peanut oil is here to stay. And what better can you expect from the house of Idhayam than Idhayam Mantra, the unrefined and filtered peanut oil.
Among the world's traditional deep-frying oils, it produces food with a crispy exterior and a moist interior. As it does not absorb the flavour of other foods cooked in the oil, you can dish up different items and each retains its individual taste. Is it any wonder then that this oil has been the choice of restaurants over the years? In India, filtered groundnut or peanut oil has been used for generations.

I think that's the big change. You see Poe dealing with somebody who's got his number, understands how he operates, is at least five steps ahead of him at all times. And there's a lesson to be learned. One of the fascinating things is the impact that this character has on Poe and how it shapes him. I think for this movie and also for the next one going on, it's I would say probably when Poe's on his deathbed looking back thinking this was the pivotal moment of his life, is meeting this person and the interaction that he had.
Even during his encounter with Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Poe Dameron always seems to have a certain amount of control. However, according to Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern's Vice Admiral Holdo (the anti-General Leia, in a sense) will be one of the few characters who can out think and outplay him - which will put him in vulnerable positions that he's not used to experiencing. As a result, Holdo may have one of the biggest impacts on Poe (both good and bad) during the events of The Last Jedi, and that could spill over into the events of Episode IX as well.
The way that Laura plays this character is so incredible because it's so complex. There's so many layers to it, and what you think is happening is not what you think. It's definitely not what Poe thinks is happening. And so that's a really fun thing.
George Lucas set out to tell a hero's journey. That's what he always spoke about loving in mythology, and I feel like Poe is like Rey. They're such extraordinary characters in that this is not a legacy that gives you your heroes. This gives you human beings on that journey and searching toward self and heroism and faith and nobility and all of those things. So I love the path, the journey. It's why this is such a perfect film and you go, 'Oh, this everything I want.' You want to stay on the journey because we want to see where you're going to go.
Check out a clip from my interview with Laura Dern and Oscar Isaac below to see what they had to say about Vice Admiral Holdo's impact on Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
Audiences will get to see how Vice Admiral Holdo impacts Poe Dameron when Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi blasts its way into theaters on December 15th. Get your tickets for the highly-anticipated blockbuster now, and start gearing up for the next adventure in the galaxy far, far away.

Small town characters/sometime heroes are sometimes an odd lot. My husband and I swap stories about the characters from our respective small towns - his in West Virginia, mine in SE Oklahoma. Those characters, as we call them, were a bit different, marched to the beat of a not-so-audible drum, hardworking, kind, and talkative. In a small town these individuals are part of the community's colorful tapestry. They are a clean stamped part of the puzzle, fitting in while not being forced to lose their identity. And while this is commendable of small towns, they are at the same time frequently guilty of speaking from both sides of their mouth. On the intake they can welcome uniqueness with invitations to "come here" while on the exhale uttering whispers of displeasure and not-so-silent "get aways."
Gary Greff is a small town character. I only hesitate to say "hero" as I feel I don't know enough of the story. However if you judge such things based not on the outcome but intent and the effort expended, then Gary qualifies. Near 60, Gary hails from a small town to which he was never able to break the tether (Regent, ND), lives below the poverty line but is tenaciously steeped in hope for his own life and for the survival of his hometown, and has spent the past 20 years fighting for a vision of betterment for his community. His young life in Regent was re-directed by tragedy. At 16, driving a motorbike with his 15 year old brother on back, Gary hit a curb in town. His brother died at the scene. People's lives are shaped by such.

ГЕС Romaine 4 — гідроелектростанція, що споруджується у канадській провінції Квебек. Знаходячись перед ГЕС Romaine 3, становитиме верхній ступінь каскаду на річці Romaine, яка впадає з півночі до протоки Жака Карт'є (сполучає устя річки Святого Лаврентія з її естуарієм — затокою Святого Лаврентія).

У межах проекту річку перекриють кам'яно-накидною греблею висотою 87 метрів та довжиною 435 метрів, котра потребуватиме 3 млн м3 матеріалу. На час будівництва вода відводиться за допомогою тунелю довжиною 0,5 км з перетином 11х16 метрів. Гребля утримуватиме водосховище з площею поверхні від 77,4 км2 до 142,2 км2 та об'ємом 2710 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 1762 млн м3), в якому припустиме коливання рівня у операційному режимі між позначками 442,1 та 458,6 метра НРМ (у випадку повені останній показник може підвищуватись до 459,6 метра НРМ).

Зі сховища по правобережжю прокладуть дериваційний тунель завдовжки 1,4 км з перетином 11,5х13,5 метра, який переходитиме у два напірні водоводи. Останні живитимуть дві турбіни типу Френсіс потужністю по 122,5 МВт, які при чистому напорі у 88 метрів повинні забезпечувати виробництво 1,3 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік.

Your guide in English to films showing in Germany.
U.S.A. 2007
Opening 7 Feb 2008
Directed by: Kasi Lemmons
Writing credits: Michael Genet, Rick Famuyiwa
Principal actors: Don Cheadle, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Bruce McFee, Mike Epps, Peter MacNeill
Dewey Hughes (Chiwetel Ejiofor) visits his brother Milo in prison. There he has a confrontation with another convict, or "miscreant" as Hughes calls them, namely, Ralph Waldo Petey Greene (Don Cheadle). Greene is serving time for drugs and armed robbery; he is also the prison's radio DJ. Dewey is manager at WOL radio, so obviously, they are destined to meet. "I need you to say the things I'm afraid to say, and you need me to do the things you're afraid to do," says Greene. Upon release from prison, he becomes the radio's most successful commentator due to his loud-mouthed, biting opinions on social conditions in the Washington D.C. area, especially when they concern African-Americans. At the death of Martin Luther King, the whole city explodes in flames and looting. Radio WOL, with Greene, broadcasts throughout the night, directing the people off the streets and home to bed, thus preventing a worse situation. With Dewey Hughes as manager, Petey Greene seems destined for national fame: talk shows with Johnny Carson, television, movies. Insecure, he is unable to meet everyone's ambitious expectations. Just as his star is rising, he falls back into old habits, drink/drugs, outlandish behavior, and finally death at age 53.
This is based on the true story of Petey Greene, who was all of the above as well as an activist and Korean War veteran. Don Cheadle exudes charisma in this role, dressed in flashy clothes and accompanied by a very hot, flamboyant girlfriend with a motor mouth of her own named Vernell (the wonderful Tajaji P. Henson). The music from the '60s by Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, to name just two, helps set the scene. There are flippant remarks about Berry Gordy of Motown and former president Lyndon Johnson. Emotions run high in this film by Kasi Lemmons, and I cried when King died in the film – although I never shed a tear over him in real life. More than 8000 mourners attended the funeral of the real Petey Greene in 1984 because they felt personally touched by him. This good movie personally touched me, which I truly was not expecting when I walked into the cinema. (Becky Tan)

The Chicago Blackhawks Select Kirby Dach 3rd Overall
Jack Bushman
Stan Bowman and the Blackhawks front office made a surprising decision with the 3rd pick.
Well, there it is Blackhawks fans. The long wait is finally over. The newest member of the Chicago Blackhawks is center Kirby Dach!
What's up, Dach?!
The #Blackhawks are proud to select the 6-foot-4, 198-pound center Kirby Dach! pic.twitter.com/sT3wAHmeOs
— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) June 22, 2019
Kirby Dach is the sixth player in Blackhawks history to be drafted third overall. While Dach wasn't the favorite (or even the second favorite), he has the potential to become a stud power forward at the NHL level. He's a big boy for an 18-year-old, at 6-foot-4, 197 pounds. Dach has a lot of skill to his game and is a solid playmaker as well.
Dach's Offensive Abilities
Last season for the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL, Kirby Dach recorded 73 points (25G, 48A) in 62 games. He also recorded five goals and three assists in 10 WHL playoff games. While Dach has been dubbed as a pass-first player in the past, he responded with a career-high in goals last year. He's been compared to current NHL player Ryan Getzlaf due to his size and offensive tendencies.
Dach is extremely elusive for a big man, and he frequently uses his large frame to shield the puck away from opponents. He loves to lower his shoulder and drive the puck to the net. Dach isn't afraid to go to the dirty areas to score goals. He uses his size to his advantage. If Kirby Dach can keep up with the speed of the NHL, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Blackhawks fans, it's time to celebrate!
Some fans may be upset with the decision, but this is not the time to pout. This is a HUGE opportunity for the Blackhawks to get back on track. Kirby Dach has a serious chance to become a franchise-altering player. Just because he wasn't the favorite doesn't mean it's a bad pick. Stan Bowman and the front office wouldn't have selected Dach if they weren't confident in his abilities.
Don't waste this special time being upset because the Blackhawks didn't draft Bowen Byram OR Alex Turcotte. Hell, the Blackhawks just came away with a 6-foot-4, 200-pound 18-year-old. That type of player doesn't come around too often. The Blackhawks do need to add size to their top-six forwards, and Dach is a perfect fit.
Hopefully, Kirby Dach will have as much success as the last guy the Blackhawks took 3rd overall.
