Nominations were announced on March 15, 2018.

Black Panther led the nominations for film with fourteen, becoming the second most nominated film in the awards' history behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) with fifteen, as the former scored nominations in every category for eligibility (2019's Avengers: Endgame would also receive fourteen nominations the following ceremony, sharing Black Panthers nomination record as the second/third most nominated film in the awards' history). It was followed by Star Wars: The Last Jedi with thirteen nominations, and Blade Runner 2049 and The Shape of Water with nine nominations each. The Walking Dead led the nominations for television for the fourth year in a row with seven, followed by streaming newcomer Star Trek: Discovery and the limited series Twin Peaks: The Return with five each. Seven individuals earned two nominations each, including double writing nominations for Michael Green (for his work on Blade Runner 2049 and Logan, sharing the nods with other writers), and two acting nominations for both film and television for Danai Gurira (for her performances in Black Panther and The Walking Dead, winning the former).

For film, Black Panther won the most awards with five, including Best Comic-to-Motion Picture Release and Best Film Director (Ryan Coogler), followed by Star Wars: The Last Jedi with three and Coco with two. For television, Better Call Saul and Twin Peaks: The Return won the most awards with three each (ending The Walking Deads four-year long streak as the top-winning series), followed by Star Trek: Discovery and The Walking Dead with two each.

Other notable wins include Mark Hamill's record-tying third Best Actor in a Film win for Star Wars: The Last Jedi (thirty-four years after his second win for 1983's Return of the Jedi), making him the first person to have won three Saturn Awards for the same role in film (Robert Downey Jr. would tie this record the following year for 2019's Avengers: Endgame), and Tom Holland's second consecutive win for Best Performance by a Younger Actor in a Film for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), making him the first performer to win the category twice for the same role or to win it in two consecutive years; Holland won a third the following year for 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home, surpassing his own record.

The Irony of Speaking Truth Strategies
View In Larger Window
The Courage Conference exists to be a refuge for survivors, to educate and empower advocates, and create the conditions where this movement for change can become a Justice Generation that recognizes and resists abuse everywhere.
Now in its third year, this annual gathering of abuse survivors, advocates, and those who love them is an event uniquely poised for this moment in history.
This is a story of a sexual abuse cover up by church leaders, whistle blower bashing, deceit, obfuscation and deflection. What started as an internal church matter ballooned into a local news story complete with a pastor's forced sabbatical, lawsuits, protection orders, police investigations and the downhill slide of a Christian church in North St. Louis County.
The story begins …
"He was a Bible College graduate, a skilled musician, a talented worship leader, a gifted creative arts director, a youth sponsor, a church intern, a church member — and a pedophile."
"On January 26, 2015, in a courtroom in St. Louis County, Brandon Milburn pleaded guilty to seven counts of sodomy with two minors under the age of 12."
"On March 30, 2015, Brandon Milburn was sentenced to three concurrent 25 year terms in prison."
First Christian Church of Florissant
The beginning of the story goes back to a time when Brandon first arrived in St. Louis. He enrolled at Saint Louis Christian College in August of 2005 and began attending and volunteering with the children's ministry at FCCF. The church hired Brandon part-time as a children's intern with two other interns the next year (2006), working with 5th graders. He would continue as a paid intern through December of 2007.
During the 2006-2007 school year, a former staff member reported that
"I had conversations with Brandon about being alone with both (Family Name) boys and the youngest (Family Name) as all 3 boys stated how uncomfortable they had gotten. Notto my surprise, he pushed what I was saying away. I told the (Family Name) about my conversation and how uncomfortable their son was and they asked Brandon to move back to SLCC. From there, I honestly avoided him…because he honestly, avoided me."

Universities must rethink their approach to student digital literacy in the Guardian Higher Education Network puts digital literacy training and critical reflection together in the same sentence. The word 'training' is a bit Pavlovian but applying critical thinking to Internet content and behaviours is an increasingly essential requirement. I've worked in higher education since 2000 and witnessed a growing need to be more proactive in addressing the digital literacies of students and staff, for example in the development of both graduate attributes and teacher education programmes.
When the first virtual learning environments arrived, the sector focused primarily on embedding technology rather than investing in the management of the cultural shift to virtual pedagogic practices. Today, the user-generated content and file-sharing nature of Web 2.0 style technologies, has increased the broader social impact of the Internet, while higher education is currently subject to market forces creating increased interest in online learning, for example the Collaborate to Compete Report to HEFCE. Research findings have raised concerns about levels of digital competence as in the JISC/British Library CIBER Report into the Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future at and the NUS report to HEFCE Student perspectives on Technology. Key areas are still missing like enhanced quality assurance with regard to digital learning (covered in this blog post) and the means of ensuring the appropriate digital literacies, including awareness of the parameters of inclusion, are embedded into both the student and the staff experience.

This doctor refused to spy on the West for Iran — and he was sentenced to death for it
Eugene M. Chudnovsky,
Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali.
On Oct. 21, Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali, a renowned expert on disaster medicine and resident of Sweden, was sentenced to death by the Iranian Revolutionary Court.
Tehran prosecutor Abbas Dolatabadi accused Djalali of providing Mossad with the information about Iran's nuclear sites that led to the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists in 2010-2012.
Accusations of working for Israel and the United States are routinely aired in Iranian revolutionary courts with no material evidence provided.
Djalali was born in Tabriz, Iran, in 1971. He received an M.D. from Tabriz University in 1997, was on the faculty of the Natural Disaster Research Institute, and worked on HAZMAT emergencies for the Ministry of Health of Iran. In 2005-2006 he headed the Disaster Management Section of the Iranian Ministry of Welfare and Social Justice.
In 2008 Djalali moved to Stockholm where he obtained a Ph.D. in disaster medicine from Karolinska Institute in 2012. He settled in Sweden with his wife and two children and held positions at research centers in Belgium and Italy. He published numerous papers in medical journals, frequently gave talks at medical congresses, and was a well-known name among European researchers and practitioners of disaster medicine.
During that time he continued academic visits of Iran, worked for Red Crescent, and served as a coordinator of the Iranian National Center for e-Learning and Simulations in Medical Response to HAZMAT. A source close to Djalali revealed that in 2014 he was approached by agents of the Iranian military intelligence that asked him to collect information on Western chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear sites, as well as on critical infrastructures and counter-terrorism operational plans. Djalali refused.
In 2016 he was invited to participate in a scientific workshop in his field held in Iran. On April 25, 2016, he was on his way from Tehran to Karaj when he was detained by the security forces of the Ministry of Information and taken to Evin prison. At the time of his arrest he was a principal investigator on the European Project on Threat Identification and Emergency Response and on the European Project on Terrorist attacks on Hospitals: Risk and Emergency Assessment Tools.

For three months Djalali was kept in a solitary confinement, interrogated daily with no lawyer present, and tortured to extract false confessions. Later he was placed in an 80 sq. ft. cell with three other prisoners. He was not allowed to speak with a lawyer. In December 2016 he began a hunger strike. It lasted 42 days. In February 2017 he started another hunger strike that lasted 43 days. His health has deteriorated. In July 2017 he was taken to a solitary confinement to prevent his contact with ambassadors from European countries that came to visit him in Evin prison.
Numerous professional societies, national science academies, health and human rights organizations, political leaders appealed to the leaders of Iran on behalf of Djalali. No response was ever received. Two closed trial sessions took place on August 22 and September 24 in the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Judge Abolqasem Salavati, who is known to human rights organizations for being an instrument of Iran's security apparatus. On October 21, Judge Salavati informed Djalali's lawyer that he sentenced his client to death. The lawyer was given 20 days to appeal the sentence.
The case of Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali is the most horrific among recent cases of scientists accused by Iran of "collaboration with a hostile government". In 2011 Omid Kokabee, a doctoral student at the University of Texas - Austin, was arrested during a family visit to Iran and sentenced to 10 years in prison by Judge Salavati after he refused to work for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. He was released in 2016 after developing kidney cancer in Evin prison. Princeton doctoral student Xiyue Wang, who went to Iran to study ancient manuscripts, was arrested in August 2016, accused of spying for the United States, and sentenced to 10 years in prison in July 2017.
Eugene M. Chudnovsky is a Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York and Co-Chair of the Committee of Concerned Scientists.

Convalescence… it's sweet time when life comes back. The things around me exude a vibrancy that I've never recognized before. Senses become alive. As an infant finds the smell of the world, my nose seeks the new wonder of scents, eyes for sights, and the fingers stretch out to touch.
The citrus fruit water my mouth with their tangy freshness, the texture of bread hugs my tongue with its soft warmth, the air surges into my skull when I step out of the door. Wonder whispers at every moment. Anything with a beating heart comes with new meaning to me just by their existence.
Another chance of discovering life. I say my gratitude to the unknown, the unknown force beyond my ability and understanding, the force behind the sprouting vigor after a violent sickness or a long illness.
The cyclamen flower on my desk blooms throughout the year. The pink petals take turns in the blooming process. None of the petals is the same. The presence of the one now includes the withered, the one which once existed. One after another, they made the blooming of my room for the whole winter… for the year… opening the delicate wings purposefully, contributing the wholeness of blooming, even after they are long gone, their lives exist in blossom, now and ever.

Q: UISplitViewController in portrait: how to hide master popover programmatically? In my UISplitViewController the master controller is a UINavigationController.
When in portrait mode I would like to keep the navigation controller visible as long as the user navigates upwards (using the back button). As soon as an item from the table view of the navigation controller is selected, I want to dismiss the popover.
How can I achieve this? How can my UITableViewController know if it is inside a popover, and if yes, dismiss itself?

A: Make your main view controller a UISplitViewControllerDelegate (if it isn't already) and wire it up to the UISplitViewController's delegate outlet.
Create a UIPopoverController variable in your main view controller:
// MyViewController.h
@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UISplitViewControllerDelegate> {
    UIPopoverController *popoverController;
}
@property (retain, nonatomic) UIPopoverController *popoverController;

// MyViewController.m
@synthesize popoverController;

Implement the following UISplitViewControllerDelegate methods:
// Called when rotating to portrait
- (void)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController*)svc
     willHideViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController
          withBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem*)barButtonItem
       forPopoverController:(UIPopoverController*)pc {

    // Popover controller is visible in portrait
    self.popoverController = pc;
}

// Called when rotating to landscape
- (void)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController*)svc
     willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController
  invalidatingBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)barButtonItem {

    // No popover controller in landscape view
    self.popoverController = nil;
}

In your own handler in the main view controller (the one that gets called when a naviation item is selected in the table view):
- (void)navigationControllerSelectedItem:(id)item {
    // If a popover controller is visible, hide it
    if (popoverController) {
        [popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
    }
}

And don't forget to release that variable:
- (void)dealloc {
    self.popoverController = nil;
    [super dealloc];
}

Hope that helps!

A: The standard iPad sample for SplitViewController in iOS5 does about the same as the elaborate answer, but the popoverController is called masterPopoverController.
And creating the property iOS5 style as _popoverController does not work, because there as already an ivar with that name in UIViewController.h.

A: The IOS 6.0 SplitView template has this built in. The detail view tracks the orientation and the MasterViewController popover.
Simply set the detailItem and the popover disappears if appropriate. There is even a check if you are using the same detaiItem so no page setup and refresh work gets done.
self.detailViewController.detailItem = self.detailViewController.detailItem;

Gigantic tower erected on the site of the Burnaby Mall
James M. Cadena
A public hearing on June 29 will allow Burnaby council to hear from the public about another proposed tower at the Amazing Brentwood Mall site.
The purpose of the rezoning application in question is to obtain approval for the detailed design and construction of tower six in phase 2 of the mall's master plan and, if approved, it would be built on the west edge of property, along Willingdon Avenue. The proposed development plan, by Shape Properties, is for a single 39-story apartment tower, including a 4-story rental podium with commercial space.
A total of 443 apartment units is proposed, comprising 369 market stratum units, 21 market rental units using district C3 density, and 53 non-market rental units in accordance with the rental use zoning policy.
"The development has a relatively high proportion of larger, family-sized units with a generous set of amenities including meeting rooms, a fitness center, a guest suite and an outdoor patio," it says. a report from city staff.
More than 13,000 square feet of amenity spaces are available.
Common facilities for residents of the strata include a lobby, as well as a fitness center, multimedia and games room, business / study center, kitchen and dining room , a living room and a guest suite located on level 5. The adjoining outdoor amenity area includes an outdoor terrace, children's games, vegetable patch, dining room and extensive rooftop landscaping. "
The Amazing Brentwood recently reached a milestone when an airlift opened, connecting the new mall expansion to the old section of the mall that includes the new Tables food court.
The Amazing Brentwood has built three residential towers, but will ultimately have 13 in total on the 28-acre property in Lougheed and Willingdon. As part of the first phase, 1.45 million square feet of retail space was built.
On the north side of the skybridge is Tables, a 780-seat restaurant. The north side also includes the oldest wing of the mall which includes London Drugs. Below are new companies such as Nike and Adidas.
The South Side is a whole new build, with Cineplex's new five-screen VIP cinema room and Rec Room entertainment complex that includes everything from video games and pool tables to virtual reality.
There are lifestyle features like a fitness center, brow bar, and hair salon.
Then if you step outside you'll find the huge outdoor plaza that features stores like the new Sephora that just opened, a large Starbucks, as well as restaurants like La Taqueria and Gram pancakes.

Good Tuesday everyone and thanks for making us your stop for online weather. We have a wild weather day taking place out there. A rain storm is bringing the possibility of early day high water to parts of central and eastern Kentucky. The rain will finally end before gusty winds and chilly temps will take over.
Winds will gust up this afternoon and evening as the chilly air rushes in. Gusts may approach 35mph at times. Our temps will generally stay in the low and mod 60s for highs then drop quickly into the 50s by early evening.
Skies will slowly clear overnight and this will allow temps to tank. Our traditional cold spots may hit the upper 30s as everyone else hits the low 40s. Wednesday looks great with readings in the 60s.
We hit the 70s again Thursday and Friday ahead of our next plunge of chilly air. That arrives by Saturday as a strong front slams in here. Showers and storms will accompany this front and the air behind it should be even colder than what we see the next few days.


Is Intel's Processor Monopoly over?
The development wars between AMD and Intel are as old as time. Over the last few years we've seen a lot of divergence between the two manufacturers as they've both been trying to reach different market segments. AMD has seemed to make their focus about delivering graphics performance to a low end market where cost savings and budget consciousness reigned king. The gaming world was let down but Intel did deliver very good performance so as not to throttle the tech world with weak processors. Now we're seeing some new technology from AMD indicating some real contenders for Intel's top of the line processors. In fact they've parted ways with a lot of their old designs and one of the big sellers is a technology SMT which stands for Simultaneous Multi-Threading. SMT permits multiple independent threads of execution from single processing cores. Early clock speed tests we've seen online indicate 8.0Ghz frequencies with 2.0V+ on the chip.

Een transient recorder is een oscilloscoop met een geheugen, die in staat is om een eenmalig voorkomend elektrisch signaal vast te leggen. Een goed Nederlands woord lijkt hiervoor niet te zijn.

Bij een normale oscilloscoop moet het signaal repeterend zijn om op het het scherm zichtbaar te zijn. Om bijzondere signalen vast te leggen die zelden voorkomen is dat niet geschikt. De transient recorder kan dergelijke signalen in zijn geheugen vasthouden en ze vanuit het geheugen zichtbaar maken.

Inherent aan de transient recorder is de uitgebreide manier om eenmalige signalen te detecteren. Vaak kunnen ingewikkelde combinaties van triggerpunten opgegeven worden. Bijvoorbeeld: een signaal moet eerst boven een bepaalde waarde komen en vervolgens beneden een bepaalde waarde, voordat het opgeslagen wordt.
Het grote voordeel van de transient recorder is de mogelijkheid om een signaal te bekijken vóór het triggerpunt. Dit wordt bereikt door het signaal constant in het geheugen op te nemen, en bij een trigger de opname te stoppen. Het deel dat op dat moment in het geheugen zit, was van voor het triggerpunt.

Transient recorders kunnen meestal meerdere signalen tegelijkertijd opnemen, dat kan variëren van 8 kanalen tot meer dan 100.

Doogie Howser female led reboot in works at Disney+ – Doogie Kealoha, M.D.
Tags:disney plusdoogie howserdoogie kealohaNeil Patrick HarrisrebootTelevision
Disney+ is ready to don the stethoscope again with a reboot of the Doogie Howser M.D., but with a new twist.
From 1989 to 1993, Doogie Howser M.D. was a half hour medical dramedy on ABC. It featured a cherubic Neil Patrick Harris as the wonder-kid Douglas "Doogie" Howser who became a practicing doctor as a teenager.
The new show would be set in Hawaii and feature a 16-year-old girl with mixed Asian and white ancestry, who uses her genius to work as a doctor. The working title for this show is "Doogie Kealoha, M.D."
The show is being developed by How I Met Your Mother and Fresh Off the Boat writer/producer Kourtney Kang in partnership with Dayna Bochco. Bochco is the widow of the late Steven Bocho, who co-created the original series with David Kelley. Also on board is their son Jesse Bochco, plus Jake Kasdan and Melvin Mar.
Kang wrote the idea for "Doogie Kealoha, M.D." based on her own experiences growing up in a mixed-race family.
Part of what made Doogie Howser work was the great casting and its cross-generational appeal. Adults appreciated the medical drama while teens could identify with Howser's typical teenage problems.
The show helped launch Neil Patrick Harris' career and also featured Max Casella, Belinda Montgomery, Lawrence Pressman, Mitchell Anderson, Kathryn Layng, Lisa Dean Ryan, Lucy Boryer, Markus Redmond, and James B. Sikking.

What do Hedge Funds Think of Actua Corp (ACTA)?
Many investors, including Carl Icahn or Stan Druckenmiller, have been saying for a while now that the current market is overvalued due to a low interest rate environment that leads to companies swapping their equity for debt and focusing mostly on short-term performance such as beating the quarterly earnings estimates. In the third quarter, many investors lost money due to unpredictable events such as the concerns over Valeant's drug pricing policy that led to an overall drop among pharma stocks. Nevertheless, many of the stocks that tanked in the third quarter still sport strong fundamentals and their decline was more related to the general market sentiment rather than their individual performance and hedge funds kept their bullish stance. In this article we will find out how hedge fund sentiment to Actua Corp (NASDAQ:ACTA) changed recently.

That's why at the end of this article we will examine companies such as Intralinks Holdings Inc (NYSE:IL), Vera Bradley, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRA), and Fidelity Southern Corporation (NASDAQ:LION) to gather more data points.
Keeping this in mind, let's view the fresh action encompassing Actua Corp (NASDAQ:ACTA).

Being in prison can be an experience that fills you with rage at the injustices that can be seen daily or even minute by minute. When doing time in prisons for peace actions, Voices activists have tried to befriend and advocate for the people they find themselves living with for a short time. Other prisoners rarely have the outside support system that activists enjoy. The pervasive belief in U.S. society that prisoners are supposed to be punished is most likely a hypocritical sentiment. Selective prosecution and lack of relative opportunities are reflected in the population which is overwhelmingly Black and Hispanic, and almost all poor.
Last summer, Voices organized a 2 week campaign calling attention to the prison system. Specifically, activists from around the country walked on foot from Chicago to Thomson prison, a new supermax prison in western Illinois.

Dennis Hong: Technology That Makes People Happy
(Please see corresponding articles from UCLA Newsroom and UCLA Magazine.)
They are all shapes and sizes, with all numbers of legs. They can put out fires on ships, shimmy up construction sites to do dangerous inspections, safely traverse battlefields and enter power plants to plug radiation leaks.
Oh, and they play soccer, too. One tiny one even break-dances.
These are just some of the products of the endlessly creative mind of UCLA's Dennis Hong, director of the legendary RoMeLa (Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory), and his intrepid band of robot-loving graduate and undergraduate students.
When he was 7 years old, Hong's parents took him to see "Star Wars: A New Hope." He was mesmerized by the movie's iconic robots, R2-D2 and C-3PO. On the ride home, Hong announced that he was going to be a robot scientist. That sense of wonder and joy is still with him, and it's a big reason why fledgling roboticists flock to RoMeLa. Quick to laugh, enthusiastic and a mesmerizing spinner of stories, Hong is one of the most famous and most written-about roboticists in the world.
He's also as much artist as scientist. This is an engineer who says he always carries a notebook and pencil with him because inspiration can come from "everywhere and everything."
When Hong was a graduate student, he took a study break in a park. "On the bench in front of me was a lady braiding her daughter's hair," he remembers. "Of course, I'd seen braided hair before, but that was the first time I had seen the process of braiding. Three strands of hair, one goes between two. So I sketched the process. Ten years later, the U.S. Navy had a call for a proposal; they were interested in a new type of mobility robot. So I opened my sketchbook and saw the hair-braiding process. Suddenly, the strands of hair started to look like legs."
Out of that was born the three-legged STriDER (Self-excited Tripedal Dynamic Experimental Robot), which can change directions, is more stable than other walking robots and is easier to implement.
This kind of imagination, not surprisingly, draws hordes of talented would-be robot engineers from around the world. Hong's RoMeLa team includes 20 graduate and 18 undergraduate students, building and testing their creations with a passion and exuberance only the truly dedicated can muster.
RoMeLa grad student Mike Bradley, who came to UCLA from Connecticut to pursue his robot dreams, explains that "Dr. Hong always preaches [that] if you're not having fun, you're not using all of your potential."
"If you like robots," says Hong about his lab, "this is like Disneyland."
Hong's method of choosing who gains access to his magic kingdom is as iconoclastic as his approach to engineering robots. "I do not like 4.0 students," he declares. "I like 3.75 students. If you want a 4.0, you need to focus only on getting good grades. The 3.75 students — those are the ones who are creative. They're hands-on, they like building things, and they really like solving problems."
Mechanism makers of Westwood
Since 2011, Tsu-Chin Tsao, chair of the mechanical and aerospace engineering department, and his team at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have brought onboard three robotics superstars to build one of the great robotics programs in the world. Besides Hong, UCLA has welcomed Jacob Rosen, whose specialty is surgical robots, and Veronica Santos, who leads the Biomechatronics Lab, which works on artificial hands.
Adding to the momentum in robotics are the achievements of other UCLA engineering faculty, including Tsao's work on dynamic systems and controls; Stefano Soatto and Demetri Terzopoulos' work on how computers "see" the world around them; and Judea Pearl and Richard Korf's pioneering work on artificial intelligence.
"At UCLA Engineering, we are fortunate to have leaders in all the disciplines — mechanical engineering, computer vision, artificial intelligence and so forth — required for a world-class robotics program," says Jayathi Murthy, dean of the engineering school. "The field is advancing at lightning speed, and our students and faculty are at the forefront."
The people's robots
On the third floor of UCLA's Engineering Building IV, Hong sits cross-legged in front of a seamless backdrop for a photo shoot, cradling a ridiculously adorable, 18-inch-tall robot called DARwin–OP (officially, Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence–Open Platform, but everyone just calls it "DARwin"). It is a teaching and research robot created by Hong as open-source technology.
Thousands of DARwins are in use around the world, helping to teach robotic locomotion and autonomous actions, and generally tinkered with by roboticists everywhere. The little robot that break-dances is DARwin's 10-inch sibling, DARwin Mini, which is controlled by an app.
Then there is the big boy on the block: humanoid robot THOR (for Tactical Hazardous Operations Robot). Just under 5 feet tall, THOR is an imposing metal presence designed for disaster-relief scenarios, such as going into an irradiated nuclear plant.
Hong is often asked which of his robots is his favorite. He responds by paraphrasing a saying: "If you bite all 10 fingers, they all hurt."
The creation he's most proud of isn't really a robot at all. It's a car that can be driven by the blind. "It's not an autonomous car," Hong explains. "This is a car that a visually impaired person can make active decisions in and drive."
The blind-driver car is the first of its kind in the world. A lot of firsts come out of a Dennis Hong team, some humanoid (Before he came to UCLA, Hong created the very first autonomous humanoid robot in the U.S.), some employing novel robot engineering ideas, and many that look nothing like the robots envisioned by Isaac Asimov: the snake robot that can climb structures at construction sites. The low-cost prosthetic hand that uses compressed air. Chemically actuated soft robots. And, of course, STriDER, among many others.
RoMeLa may be Disneyland for roboticists, but its leader insists that, all the fun notwithstanding, practical makes perfect.
"The more I study and research, the more I realize how far we are from the science-fiction robots — Rosie from 'The Jetsons,' C-3PO from 'Star Wars' and all the scary 'Terminator' robots," concludes Hong. "Only when it becomes a research program and finds its application does [a robot] idea become valuable. … If you look at all our robots, it's technology that will help society and make people happy, give them independence and freedom. That's what we do."

Q: Why can we replace $|f|$ with $r+s$ subject to $f = r-s$ and $r,s \geq 0$ in Linear Programming/Optimization? Why can we replace $|f(x_1, \cdots, x_{j\geq 1})|$ with $r+s$ subject to the constraints $f(x_1, \cdots, x_{j \geq 1}) = r-s$ and $r,s \geq 0$ in LP? $f(x_1, \cdots, x_j)$ is either present in the objective function or in the constraints or both.
I have seen ample number of problems where this technique is being followed and I have not come across a proof in support of this. How do I prove that this this works in general (for both maximization and minimization problems)?

A: Crucially it only works for convex use of the operator, e.g., minimization with it entering with  positive constant, or in a constraint entering with a positive constant (to the left of $\leq$). The general case is nonconvex and is not LP-representable (although MIlP-representable).
Let $x = a - b$ and replace $|x| = a-b$ where the intention is that optimality implies $a = \max(x,0)$ and $b = \max(-x,0)$.
Now assume you instead obtain a solution with $a = \max(x,0) + \epsilon $ and $b = \max(-x,0) + \epsilon $ and study what happens if you assume this is an optimal solution (hint: if $|x|$ enters the minimization with a positive sign, how does $\epsilon$ enter the objective, and what does a non-zero $\epsilon$ tell you about optimality...)
If the term only is used in the constraints, and the constraint is inactive at optimality, correctness is not important. If the constraint is tight at optimality, using the same principle as for the objective, $\epsilon$ will be driven to 0.

Q: Connections to SQL Server database files (.mdf) require LocalDB or SQL Server Express to be installed and running on the local computer I am using Visual Studio 2015 professional. When I tried to add Service-based Database to my project I got this error.

Connections to SQL Server database files (.mdf) require LocalDB or SQL Server Express to be installed and running on the local computer. You may need to modify the setup and ensure Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools is selected and install the current version at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=125883

I also have Microsoft SQL Sever 2014 installed on my computer.
really need help.

A: Just do this. On Visual Studio, go to Tools > Options > Database Tools > Data Connections. Here clear the "SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default)" option and write SQLEXPRESS

A: Just in case it helps others, I recently received this error in Visual Studio. The error states to go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=125883. When going to this URL, it now redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server/. The new URL do not seems to have an obvious instructions on how to get Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. Here is what worked for me.

*

*In Visual Studio, select Tools > Extensions and Updates

*In the Extensions and Updates pop-up box, select Installed > Updates

*Highlight Microsoft SQL Server Update for database... and click the Update button. If Microsoft SQL Server Update for database... is not listed, you can download SSDTSetup.exe from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.

*Your default Web browser will prompt a download of SSDTSetup.exe

*In your Downloads folder, run SSDTSetup

*Follow the prompts of the installer

After doing this, just to play it safe, I restarted Visual Studio. This might not be necessary. I then did the following in Visual Studio.

*

*In Visual Studio, if you do not already have a folder named App_Data, in the Solution Explorer panel, right-click the name of your site and select Add > New Folder. Name the new folder App_Data.

*With the App_Data folder highlighted, press Ctrl + Shift + A (or right-click and select Add > New Item)

*In the Add New Item pop-up box, select Visual Basic or C# > Data > SQL Server Database.  Click Add.

The error should not appear, and in Solution Explorer should now be a file named database1.mdf.

A: The error message is quite clear. You need to have either LocalDB or SQL Server Express installed and running on the local computer, and you apparently don't.
Do as the error message instructs, go to the link provided in that error message, select Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, and install the latest version.

Tax on Sex Workers in Germany
Germany councils demand a cut of the action
Nightlife Latest
Update: Flawed Floor Tax...
Tax inspectors set task of measure the areas of Stuttgart businesses set aside for pleasure
See article from thelocal.de
Stuttgart tax inspectors are facing the task of measuring the floor space in all the Stuggart's brothels, after a new per square metre tax was introduced on the oldest profession.
The collectors initially resorted to extensive internet research to find all the sex businesses in the city, but found their computers blocked from the relevant sites. Once the necessary special permission was granted, taxman Rolf Kiener and his colleagues were initially shocked. It's rather eye-opening what's out there, he said.
The new tax means that all spaces in the city used to sell erotic pleasures will be taxed by the square metre, including strip clubs, porn cinemas and brothels. Establishments that offer both initial approach and completion of a transaction will be forced to pay as much as EUR10 per square metre per month.
To save embarrassment, tax inspectors will be measuring up the premises by appointment rather than turning up unannounced.
Update: Meter Maids...
Bonn judges scheme to tax street walkers to be a success
A sex meter scheme, taxing prostitutes 6 euros a night to work the streets of Bonn has raised more than 35,000 euros for public coffers in its first year.
Prostitutes working the streets have to buy themselves a ticket from the converted parking meters each night, or face a fine. In fact wardens have only handed out about 20 fines so far.
The sex tax has been accepted by the prostitutes, said city spokeswoman Elke Palm. The idea, introduced last August, was an extension of a tax imposed on brothels in the city at the beginning of 2011, Die Welt newspaper reported.
The tax scheme includes the provision of performance huts where prostitutes and their customers can conduct business. This has reduced the number of complaints from people living near the areas where prostitutes work, said Palm.
Mechthild Eickel, chairwoman of the sexworkers' association Bufas, said it was unfair that prostitutes rather than their customers should have to pay the tax. It is a pleasure for the customers. Why don't they put the money in? she asked the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper.
Update: No Flat Rates for Room Rates...
German brothel owner thwarted from charging the discounted VAT rate for hotel rooms
See article from skynews.com.au
Rooms rented out for prostitution in Germany don't qualify for a tax break granted to hotels, a federal court said.
A VAT rate of 19% applies when rooms are used for commercial purposes, including sex work, the Federal Fiscal Court ruled from the southern city of Munich. The reduced tax rate for hotels is 7%.
The owner of the Eros Centre in Duesseldorf, rented out 13 erotic rooms equipped with jacuzzis to sex workers on a daily or weekly basis. He argued the rooms were eligible for the tax break because they were not specifically designed for the provision of sexual services, but operated as regular hotel rooms.
However the court ruled:
From the location of the building in a red-light district, it is clear that the plaintiff did not keep the premises for accommodation, but for the practice of prostitution.

Posted September 10th, 2018 by Media Heroes.
For many years, cycling to work has received a bit of a bad rap. People seem to associate early morning exercise with sweatiness and exhaustion. But that's simply not the case! Early morning is the time to exercise, and it's certainly the best time to cycle. And thankfully, more and more people are coming around to this view and cycling to work. There are so many good reasons to cycle to work, and if you try it they will all become apparent. Still on the fence? Take a look at these compelling reasons to cycle to work – they'll surely convince you!
Cycling and fitness go hand in hand. In fact, cycling is one of the best cardiac and muscle building sports on offer. So it's no surprise that our first reason to cycle to work is all about fitness. You don't have to go flat out and arrive at work exhausted either. Even a light cycle, with no hills or challenges, will have an amazing effect on your physical fitness. Cycling to work, even once a week, will help lower your chances of ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, and many of the other risks that can come with a sedentary lifestyle. So start with one day a week, and we guarantee you'll see the light!
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health – maybe even more so! That's why the long morning commute can be a drain on a lot of us. Sitting in traffic drearily waiting to start the day is not always good for our state of mind. Cycling to work, on the other hand, will promote the release of endorphins and help lift your state of mind. Chances are, you'll never have felt better arriving at work than you will after cycling there. As far as we're concerned, that's a pretty good reason to cycle to work.
Whether you're burning fuel, or burning up your Gocard, vehicular transport costs money. It might be much per trip, but it adds up. In fact, chances are you can save money in the long run by purchasing a good quality bike and cycling to work. A good quality bike and a big healthy breakfast is all you need each morning to get yourself to work. And by doing so, you can alleviate a potential financial burden in transport expenses. It's a win-win, and another of our main reasons to cycle to work.
Environmental awareness is higher than ever now, and it means more and more of us are looking for ways to reduce our carbon emissions. Luckily, the answer is sitting in the garage: your bike! Cycling to work uses no fossil fuels; it's completely carbon neutral and sustainable. Saving the planet: it's one of our favourite big-picture reasons to cycle to work. And you can enjoy the other benefits as well.
If the endorphin rush of cycling isn't enough for you, why not add a social element? Like an office carpool, cycling to work can be a great social activity. It promotes cohesion in the workplace, sustainable practices, and social connection. And that's before you've even arrived at the office! If these reasons have convinced you to cycle to work, maybe you can convince someone else and both enjoy the advantages.
For the best tips and tricks of cycling, get in touch with our team!

For a while now I have been having an intermittent problem with some of my drives. They seem to be working but stop responding to SMART. If I reboot they don't show up any more but if I power off and back on they work fine.
I have two 640Gig WD Green drives in a software RAID1 and another WD Blue drive. After a suspend/resume, sometimes one of the drives is MIA. The kernel thinks it is still there but my SMART tools can't talk to it and start to complain.
So for some reason, the disk is not responding when the computer resumes. I guess it is a timeout (and I wonder if I can extend it?) Anyway, now I have the situation where my disk is not working even though I know there is nothing actually wrong with it.
You must remove the existing (sda) device first or the disk will be re-detected and added with a new name (sde in my case).
Because I have a write-intent bitmap, the RAID set knows what has changed since the drive was failed and only the changes must be re-synced which is quite fast.
There seems to be a 'vibe' that green drives are not good for RAID. I don't really think this is a problem because the drive is green, I think it is a problem because the driver is not trying hard enough to restart the disk.
So in the end this was not a SMART problem after all. Not there there are no bugs to fix there. Particularly in udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect which keeps running and locking up sending the load average into the hundreds. For a tool designed to detect error conditions it probably needs a bit more work.
The first device I hooked to my Raspberry Pi is based on the PCF8591 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). This chip has 4 analog inputs (ADC) and one analog output or Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
I am using a pre-assembled board from Deal Extreme which comes with the chip, a temperature sensor, light sensor, variable resistor and LED. This provides a simple showcase for the chip and more importantly, it has a light sensor which is important to my project. The board was only a few dollars http://dx.com/p/pcf8591-8-bit-a-d-d-a-converter-module-150190 there are also other similar boards on there.
PCF8591 demo board. GPIO pins are visible on the right.
Raspberry Pi showing GPIO cables connected.
My demo board has a red power indicator LED which came on once I powered up.
The next big test is to see if the i2c driver can talk to your chip. The Raspberry Pi actually comes configured with two I2C buses and for reasons unknown, on my system the bus labelled I2C0 is allocated the Linux device i2c-1.
Scanning both buses won't hurt.
You can see here that a device has been detected at address 0x48. This is the expected address for my chip so that means we are in business.
Reading and writing to the chip is quite straight forward but the chip does have a few nuances. The first read after power on will return 0x80. The analog to digital conversion is performed when you make a read request but the read will return the previous sample so it is always one sample behind. This is not too confusing unless you are switching to read a different input.
I will show how to read the data using the command line tools i2cget and i2cset. In another blog post I will show how you can interface with the chip from c code.
All these commands take a parameter 1 to specify which i2c bus and I pass -y which skips the safety warning. (We know what we are doing so this is OK. On other hardware such as your PC, things can and do go wrong by using these commands).
The most basic read is the default channel (input 0).
That is the value that was sampled when we made our first read (the one that returned 0x80).
Now we get the new value.
First we get an old value.
We can repeat to select channel 2 and 3.
And the indicator LED turns off. You can of course set it to any value between 0x00 and 0xff and see the LED dim and turn off. (You can also see why LEDs don't make good analog indicators).
For some time I have been using FlashCache on my PC at home. Of course I did it the hard way because I wanted it seamlessly integrated at boot time so I could use the cache on my root filesystem.
Now CentOS-6 users can get started with FlashCache with (hopefully) a minimum of fuss.
Just as soon as I get time to upgrade my machine at work I will be running it there too.

Budapest Spa – Thermal Baths in Budapest
Budapest Spa City
Budapest is well known for its numerous medicinal baths, which constitute one of its main tourist attractions. Some of the thermal springs were already being used as early as the 2nd century by the Romans.
A number of the medicinal baths built along the bank of the Danube by the Turks – the Király, Rudas, Császár and Rác Baths – are still being used today. Budapest was officially declared an International Spa in 1934.
The thermal springs, the temperatures of which vary between 21°C and 78°C, yield up to 70 mega-litres of water per day. The dissolved salts and minerals present in these waters, derived from 118 different sources (either natural springs or bores), render them suitable for treating a diversity of illnesses – ranging from circulatory problems to joint and muscle damage, and menstrual pain.
Besides bathing, most of the baths in Budapest provide facilities for therapeutic massages, physiotherapy exercises and mud-pack treatments.
In the vicinity of the baths, one can find wells and arrays of drinking-water fountains, providing spring-water rich in minerals.
Most popular Baths in Budapest

Military begins discharging service members for refusing COVID vax; more to follow
About 97% of active-duty Air and Space Force members have been vaccinated so far, but more than 1,000 have refused and another 4,700 have religious exemption requests pending.
Wed Dec 15, 2021 - 6:48 pm EST
(LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has officially begun terminating service members for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccines, discharging 27 airmen on Monday.
In August, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin directedthe secretaries of all military branches to "immediately begin full [COVID] vaccination of all members of the Armed Forces" and "impose ambitious timelines for implementation." NBC News reported that these 27 Air Force discharges are believed to be the first fallout from that order, as the Air Force had the earliest deadline along with the U.S. Space Force.
Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said the discharges may have had other contributing factors as well, but vaccination refusal was a factor in all of them. Every terminated airman had served for less than six years.
USAF statistics say approximately 97% of active-duty Air and Space Force members have been vaccinated so far, though more than 1,000 have refused and another 4,700 have religious exemption requests pending.
President Joe Biden has dismissed concerns that COVID vaccine mandates will force a significant number of Americans to leave or not apply for critical jobs, but many remain concerned.
I hear this all time. My show emails are full of them.
"I'm getting out. Didn't join for this."
"Finishing my 20 and I'm gone."
"My son wants to join. I talked him out of it."
The men we need are leaving. We NEED these men. And they're leaving. I don't blame them. https://t.co/9qyLo68SEn
— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) December 14, 2021
While defenders of vaccine mandates are quick to point out that the military has long required soldiers to vaccinate against a range of diseases, the fact remains that previous vaccines were subjected to far more evaluation and development time before being put into widespread use than the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson COVID shots receive during their accelerated clinical trials.
Vaccine defenders also note that this one-year development period was not starting from scratch, but rather relied on years of prior research into mRNA technology; and that one of the innovations of the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed was conducting various aspects of the development process concurrently rather than sequentially, eliminating delays unrelated to safety. However, those factors do not fully account for the condensing of clinical trial phases — each of which can take anywhere from 1-3 years on their own — to just three months apiece.
While cases of severe harm reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) after taking COVID shots represent less than one percent of total doses administered in the United States, a 2010 report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) warned that VAERS caught "fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events." May reporting from NBC News quotes several mainstream experts acknowledging "gaps" in federal vaccine monitoring.
Further, the premise that vaccination is necessary to protect others rests on false assumptions about asymptomatic spread being a significant driver of COVID and disregard of natural immunity following COVID recovery, and flies in the face of data indicating widespread dissemination of the vaccines has failed to end the pandemic.
The federal government considers more than 202 million Americans (almot 61% of the eligible) to be "fully vaccinated" (a moving target given the vaccines' temporary nature), yet data from Johns Hopkins University reported in October shows that more Americans died of COVID-19 by that point in 2021 (353,000) than in all of 2020 (352,000).


The survey is designed to gather information from families with young children and their familiarity with and utilization of local literacy resources like the Flagstaff Public Library, Reach Out and Read, and the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
Data from the survey, which will be administered by FUSD during the week of February 4th, will be used along with other analysis of local literacy programs to help form the foundation for future strategic coordination among local literacy programs.
Coordination will be in collaboration with FUSD based on the K-3 literacy plans for the district's elementary schools.
Early Learning Network team members will meet in mid-February to review the survey data and begin discussion of next steps that will lead to improved community coordination.

How do Peg and Cat measure up? Mailing some important letters proves a tall order as the two friends learn about height.
Peg's mom has given her and Cat five important letters to mail. "She says it's because we're growing up," says Peg. And sure enough, the height marks on the wall show that they're getting taller! But there's a problem: when they get to the mailbox, they find a very big dog sitting in front of it. How can they get around or behind this scary-looking canine to mail the letters? Or could it be that they're jumping to conclusions — and the obstacle itself might help them reach a solution?
Autumn '17 sees the first two titles in a new format for Peg + Cat: 6x9 readers!

Wineglass Steps Up Its Giving
CORNING – Wineglass Marathon race directors Sheila Sutton and Mark Landin announced the three local charitable organizations which will receive donations from runners signing up for this year's Wineglass Full and Half Marathons and GlassFest 8K. During the online registration process, runners will have the option to donate to Girls on the Run of the Southern Tier, Food Bank of the Southern Tier and the Wineglass College Scholarships.
Linking local charities to race registration is a common practice in major races. "We started last year with the OneFund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and had an overwhelming response," said Sutton. "We wanted to continue the support from the runner community this year."
The Southern Tier chapter of Girls on the Run was established in 2012 for girls in 3rd through 8th grades across four counties. The 24-lesson curriculum combines training for a 5K running event with lessons that inspire girls to become independent thinkers, enhance their problem-solving skills and make healthy decisions.
"With women making up 75 percent of our half marathon field and 55 percent of our full marathon field, Girls on the Run was a natural choice for us," Sutton said.
Contributions to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier will fund the BackPack ProgramTM for children in Steuben County. The Food Bank's BackPack ProgramTM provides children who are at risk of hunger with a bag of nutritious, easy-to-prepare food each Friday during the school year. This program helps feed children over weekends and breaks when they do not have access to school meal programs. During the 2012-2013 school year, more than 18,300 packs of food were distributed to 550+ children in Steuben County. Food Bank President & CEO Natasha Thompson said they were delighted to be selected. "This will be the first targeted, ongoing funding stream for this program in Steuben County."
The Wineglass College Scholarships will be established at the Community Foundation with proceeds benefiting one female and one male runner graduating from Corning, Bath-Haverling and Campbell-Savona High Schools – the three high schools along the Wineglass route.
"We have long wanted to find a way to help local runners in their college pursuits," said Landin. "Establishing these scholarships reinforces how important education and achieving life goals is to the Wineglass."
Selection of the three charities was approved by the Wineglass Board of Directors in February. Runners can choose to donate any amount to any or all of the listed charities.
Nearly $50,000 from race proceeds was donated to more than 40 local organizations which helped with planning and execution of the 2013 races. Officials expect those donations to continue in future years.
Wineglass Marathon weekend is Oct. 3-5, 2014, and more than 5,000 runners are expected to run the 5K, full and half marathons. The races draw runners from 40+ states and several foreign countries and have closed out to registrants months before the races for the last two years.


Did You Know? Message Color There is a fantastic (yet hard-to-find) feature that enables you to set the color of your email messages to match the color of the applied tag. So, if you apply a yellow tag to a message, the message will be displayed in yellow in your inbox.
1. Click the Preferences tab, and select Mail. In the Displaying Messages area, select the Message Color option, as shown below.
Note: Don't forget to click Save.
Now it looks like this, with the tag color applied to the entire message.
Would be nice to have that in the desktop client (not to mention an actual native desktop client).
I would have to agree with that. I hope it will be available soon.
I've been doing this for quite some time now…if something isn't colored in my inbox then it doesn't belong in my inbox.

Localization can provide a huge boost to your app — increasing your reach, downloads and amplifying your exposure. Especially if your app has strong universal appeal, expanding beyond your home market and into the great beyond can potentially yield huge profits. That said, localization is an investment and you don't want to devote the time, effort and resources into a process that's not going to return the very best outcome. But the value of localization isn't up for question, it's how to harness it to improve your app's reach and expansion.
Good news! We're introducing an exciting new feature to ensure your localization venture, whether it's your first or you're a seasoned pro, is as successful and profitable as possible. This latest addition, found in the Recommended Actions section of the dashboard, aggregates app store data, including views and conversions, and filters it through a geographic lense — enabling users to pinpoint specific markets that will convert well. This is the only drilled-down localization feature on the market, so get excited for stronger, actionable insights that translate into increased conversions and improved ROI.
Mobile Action's latest feature makes localization transparent through actionable data. Once users integrate their accounts, Mobile Action can pull stats on app store page views and downloads. By leveraging these key metrics, Mobile Action Localization can tell you which markets are converting well and which are getting views, but not converting to downloads. In its simplest form, the feature tells you which markets will be most advantageous to enter. Not only does it help users determine where to expand next, it can also help predict ROI.
Before a tool like this, app marketers or publishers were forced to make educated guesses about which country would be best to localize in, often by looking at traffic sources. Without clear-cut data to inform these decisions, predictions about ROI were especially murky. But with the help of Mobile Action, you no longer have to cross your fingers and hope for the best when it comes to localization.
Now, with this latest addition to the Recommended Actions section, you can see what percentage of your daily views and downloads are coming from each country before you expand to other markets. By informing you of the gap between your views and downloads — your conversion rate — and helping you close it, you will be saving yourself a great deal of time, money and worry.
Additionally, we'll give you our best estimate on your localization ROI, meaning, how much your app's daily downloads and conversion rate will improve after you've localized.
When Does it Come Out? Can I Use it With My Plan?
The localization feature is available with all levels of Mobile Action plans — as long as your account is integrated.
