As you can see from the images below the venue of this year's EuRuKo,
Badminton Theatre, is being renovated. To be honest, we knew such works were
planned, yet we chose to book this amazing [venue](/#venue) because it was impressive,
and with the recently planned renovation it would be really awesome. It was a
bold and risky move due to the recent economic difficulties Greece is facing
right now (including workers' strikes). What we wanted, was to have the greatest and
biggest venue [EuRuKo](http://euruko2013.org) had ever seen.

![Badminton Scene Renovation](/images/blog/badminton_scene_renovation.jpg "Badminton scene renovation")

We were promised that the venue would be ready by April, yet when we went there
earlier today to inspect the premises we where dumbfounded to discover that the
works are midway, with an estimate of late August finish at best!

The organising committee, along with all of our the amazing volunteers and venue
construction crews are working hard to help with construction works. However, we
can't make any promises yet. We will inform you of our progress as we approach
the June deadline. In the mean time [follow us on twitter](http://twitter.com/euruko)
and [sign up for our newsletter](http://eepurl.com/w3D21) in order to stay informed.

![Badminton Floor Renovation](/images/blog/badminton_floor_renovation.jpg "Badminton floor renovation")

The committee promises to pull its sleeves up and dive into hard work with the shovel
in order to organize EuRuKo 2013 on time.

Thank you for your support.

When one of our clients was looking to have something to remind staff of the reuse/recycling initiative, we came up with this rather sweet concept - a desktop wheelie bin (made from recycled plastic, of course) filled with a selection of sweeties!
Not only did the wheelie bin effectively remind staff of the seminar, but the fact that it was filled with long lasting boiled sweeties meant that they sat on people's desks for quite some time.
The client was very pleased with the end results too, saying: "It looks absolutely fabulous – thank you sooo much 😊". All in all, a wheelie good result!

A story of Fear..... of not finding forever after and questioning your heart. Naina has always been a strong headed, lively and carefree person. She always felt that there was a reason for everything. She believed in love, commitment and sacrifice, but when her three year old relationship crumble down in front of her she lost all the hope in love and marriage forever. With time and help of her friend, Naina starts afresh in a new city with a new job and people around. For the first time in her life she was not looking for love but a deep urge to stand on her own feet made its way in her life. Little did Naina know her life was going to change? Nothing could prepare her for the storm of love in the shape of Nihal, the confident, persistent and handsome guy she met at her boss housewarming party. Read on to know, will Nihal be able to penetrate the cold walls covered around Naina's heart or her insecurities are more than enough to lead them on different paths in life. A story where thinking that questioning your heart with "Should I", can stop you from "Falling In Love".
Review- Should I.... Fall In Love is a simple, realistic love story of emotional yet strong Naina and Nihal. Shradha has done amazing work with her debut book by keeping it simple and realistic. Kudos to the author for her amazing debut.
Book Cover and Title- Book Cover is intriguing and attracts readers. Title is appropriate with the content and gives us hint about the content. Blurb is interesting and further discloses about the story.
Language and Narration- Language of the book is simple and easy to comprehend. Writing style of Shradha is lucid and binds readers with the book. Few quotes in the book are worth noting.
There are few editing errors in the book which should be improved in next edition of the book.
Characterization- The two main characters of book are Naina and Nihal. Naina is a workaholic who uses work to be busy and ignore her painful past. She is happy with her life but deep inside misses 'Love' whereas Nihal is dashing, flirtatious guy who meets Naina during work.
The way Shradha has sketched her characters is beautiful. Characters are realistic to most, thus story connects with the readers.
Theme- Theme of the book is Friendship, Love and self realisation while fighting with self insecurity.
Storyline and Plot- Though plot is not so unique and predictable at most of the times, the perfectly woven sub-plots and connecting characters binds readers with the book. Story is fast paced where scenes are happening quickly which makes book reading an interesting experience.
Note- I received this book from Kalamos Literary Services in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.


Max. The warrior Max. Haunted by his past and fated to wander the brutal Wasteland in search of his better self.

Faber (bürgerlich Julian Pollina; * 18. April 1993 in Zürich) ist ein Schweizer Singer-Songwriter.

Leben und Wirken
Fabers Mutter ist die Fernsehjournalistin Christina Pollina-Roos, sein Vater der italienischstämmige Schweizer Cantautore Pippo Pollina. Seine Schwester Madlaina Pollina bildet mit Nora Steiner das Zürcher Duo Steiner & Madlaina.

Seine Band Goran Koč y Vocalist Orkestar Band besteht aus den Musikern Tillmann Ostendarp (Posaune, Schlagzeug), Goran Koč (bürgerlich Silvan Koch, Klavier, Orgel), Janos Mijnssen (E-Bass, Cello) und Max Kämmerling (E-Gitarre, Darbuka, Bouzouki, Saxophon). Am 7. Juli 2017 erschien Fabers Debütalbum Sei ein Faber im Wind, wofür auch einige Lieder seiner beiden zuvor erschienenen EPs (2015 und 2016) neu eingespielt wurden.

Etwas mehr als zwei Jahre später veröffentlichte Faber am 1. November 2019 mit I Fucking Love My Life sein zweites Album. Am 11. Dezember 2020 veröffentlichte er gemeinsam mit Sophie Hunger und Dino Brandão als Brandão Faber Hunger das Album Ich liebe dich, das zwölf gemeinsame Kompositionen in Mundart enthält. Als "grandios" wurde diese Veröffentlichung in der Süddeutschen Zeitung bezeichnet.

Kontroverse
Im Lied Das Boot ist voll wurde die Stelle "Nimm ihn in den Volksmund, blond, blöd, blau und rein" als Vergewaltigungsphantasie gegen Rechte interpretiert. Nach der Kritik hat Faber das Lied umgeschrieben, neu hochgeladen und sich entschuldigt.

Thomas Jefferson's Accomplishments U.S. History Research
Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States. He favored limited central government. He approved of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, sent out the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore this territory and, helped pass The Embargo Act of 1807
The U.S., under Jefferson, bought the Louisiana territory from France in 1803. The U.S. paid $15 million for the vast amount of land, which literally doubled the size of the country at that time. The land purchase also allowed the U.S. to gain control of the Mississippi trade route. This new territory extended from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. The territory was made up of an area that covers 15 present-day states and some parts of Canada. Jefferson won his presidential campaign by advocating for "small government" and strict adherence to the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't authorize the executive branch to use public funds to increase the nation's territorial size. Jefferson would claim that the power to increase the country's land size was implied in the treaty-making clause of the Constitution.
From 1804-1806 an expedition was sent by Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. It had 3 main goals: map and study the land (geography); make contact with Native Americans; and see if waterway exists between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean. The expedition included 45 men, and was lead by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The explorers moved from the Mississippi River, over the Rocky Mountains, and finally reached the Pacific Ocean in November of 1805. In the end, the team discovered that there was no wa...

Although it's not nearly as bad as it was in the 1800's. We still have a long way to go. Angelina only seemed to want to help women and slaves because of her own childhood. I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

Democrat Mayor Ted Wheeler Vows: 'There Will Be No Autonomous Zone in Portland'
Nathan Howard/Getty Images
Joel B. Pollak
Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) of Portland, Oregon, promised Tuesday that police would remove radical left-wing protesters from an area they had occupied in the city: "There will be no autonomous zone in Portland."
As Breitbart News reported, anti-eviction protesters attacked police officers on Tuesday and set up an "autonomous zone" at the "Red House" Tuesday, setting up barricades.
Wheeler, who supported the violent Black Lives Matter protest outside a federal courthouse this summer, and who had to move away from the city after rioters targeted his apartment building, sent a signal that he will not allow Portland to repeat Seattle's "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ) experience. He tweeted:
I am authorizing the Portland Police to use all lawful means to end the illegal occupation on North Mississippi Avenue and to hold those violating our community's laws accountable. There will be no autonomous zone in Portland.
— Mayor Ted Wheeler (@tedwheeler) December 9, 2020
We all agree many of our nation's systems and structures are fundamentally racist and require significant reform. There's a housing crisis, a health care crisis, an education crisis, an employment crisis, a mental health crisis, and an addiction crisis.
All of these crises are magnified in urban areas, including Portland. And, these crises disproportionately impact Black people.
It's also true that illegal trespassing, ignoring lawful orders from police, blocking sidewalks and streets, and intimidating neighbors inflame these crises and make them more difficult to solve. That is what's happening on North Mississippi Avenue right now.
There was a lengthy, thorough judicial proceeding resulting in a lawful judge's order to evict people illegally occupying a home. Multnomah County chose the time, place and manner of the eviction and Portland Police provided support.
It's time for the encampment and occupation to end. There are many ways to protest and work toward needed reform. Illegally occupying private property, openly carrying weapons, threatening and intimidating people are not among them.
The CHAZ (or CHOP, for Capitol Hill Occupied Protest) took over six blocks in Seattle for several weeks allowing lawlessness — even homicide — before it was finally cleared by police after local officials decided to act.

I'm A Celebrity star Matty Lee lashes out at 'annoying' Naughty Boy as 'rice wars' erupt again
MATTY Lee hit out at Naughty Boy and Danny Miller after they criticised his rice cooking during last night's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The 23-year-old Olympian was assigned as camp chef alongside Corrie's Simon Gregson, 47, after Louise Minchin, 53, was voted as the new leader.
And in light of the change of camp duties, Naughty Boy, who had previously been camp cook, criticised Matty's rice cooking with Danny in agreement.
Speaking to her campmates, Louise said: "I love the swapping of jobs as everything gets better, doesn't it?"
However, Matty admitted: "I don't know if the cheffing gets better!" which left Louise asking: "Oh Matty, are you not enjoying your own cooking?"
Looking downcast, Matty said: "No, it's just different…"
Despite the sports star's clear stress over his cooking duties, Naughty Boy criticised how Matty prepared the rice and claimed it was "mushy".
The producer said: "I don't enjoy the rice now as much as I used to.

"That's not because I was cooking it, it's just because of the way it has been cooked. It's a bit mushy and a bit over watered."
Adding flames to the fire, former Emmerdale star Danny Miller agreed and said: "I do agree with him because sometimes when it's over watered, it's just, you can taste the blandness in it.
"But when it's fried with the oil… I really like it, but it's personal preference."
🔵 Read our I'm A Celeb 2021 live blog for the latest updates
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, a frustrated Matty shared: "Everyone has the right to have their own opinion but it's so God damn annoying when you're cooking.
"People will be like: 'Oh, I like my rice this way, I like my rice that way,' I'm like: 'Ah!'
"I struggle because I'm just like look, I'm trying to please, I'm not trying to make it not nice!"
Back in camp, Snoochie Shy said: "I really liked rice pudding!" to which Naughty Boy cuttingly quipped: "What you called rice pudding, I call over watered rice."
It's not the first time Naughty Boy has passed comment on the cooking, having sounded off with Frankie Bridge over her cooking methods at the beginning of the series.
She broke down in tears as she complained to Snoochie about getting involved in a confrontation over rice.
The music producer, 36, was one of the five celebrities who moved into Gwrych Castle after previously being banished to The Clink.
Main Camp had been using their rice rations to create a kind of sticky pudding but the music man – real name Shahid Khan – hated their approach.
So when Frankie, 32, argued that was just how Main Camp liked to prepare rice, Naughty Boy kicked off.
Naughty Boy then had a second kitchen showdown with Kadeena Cox after she and Arlene Phillips got the camp some oxtail.
Naughty Boy told the Paralympian to chill while he prepared the meat, but she started to give him tips.
He said: "Kadeena please, I'm just working it out."
Then he said to Snoochie Shy, 29: "I've never cut oxtail. Before I've even got into it Kadeena's telling me, 'Naughty you need to…'"
Kadeena, 30, interrupted: "If he's going to moan about it, just say it to me. I was just trying to help."
The music man replied: "The thing is, before I've even cut it, you're telling me what to do."
And the athlete said: "I was just letting you know there was a bone that was going to be hard to get through. I'm cool not helping, I was just like, whatever…"

Is Kendall Roy dead in Succession season 3? Fans spot clue


Albany, NY - April 25, 2014 - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced $1.4 million in Conservation Partnership Program grants for 50 nonprofit land trusts across the State. Representatives of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Land Trust Alliance unveiled the grantees at an event today at Indian Ladder Farms in Albany County as part of a weeklong celebration of Earth Day. The grants, funded through the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), will be matched by nearly $1.1 million in private and local funding and will support projects to protect farmland, enhance public access and recreational opportunities, and conserve open space.
The Conservation Partnership Program grants, administered by DEC, will help local land trusts sustain and expand community and landowner outreach initiatives and develop an array of conservation, stewardship and education programs. The grants will advance regional economic development goals by strengthening partnerships with local and state governments and advancing locally supported efforts to protect prime farmland, enhance public access and recreation opportunities, and conserve private lands prioritized in New York State's Open Space Conservation Plan and state wildlife action plan. Land trusts will also apply grant funds to prepare for accreditation, supporting New York land trust commitments to rigorous national standards for organizational excellence.
"We commend Governor Cuomo, Commissioner Martens and the New York State Legislature for their tremendous support of this initiative and for increasing the EPF in this year's state budget. Time and time again we see how the EPF and the Conservation Partnership Program are cost-effective investments that pay vital dividends for public health, local communities and New York's economy," said Rand Wentworth, president of the Land Trust Alliance.
"The Conservation Partnership Program has demonstrated impressive statewide success by supporting land trusts in our local communities," said Seth McKee, chair of the Land Trust Alliance's New York Advisory Board and land conservation director for Scenic Hudson. "Together with state funding for land conservation and farmland protection, this program helps to protect and care for New York's natural heritage and working lands, and create trails, preserves and community gardens. It also benefits our economy, from tourism and outdoor recreation to farming and forestry. The program continues to be a model for the EPF because it unites the goals of New York's Open Space Conservation Plan, meets the needs and desires of local municipalities, and enables private landowners and land trusts to achieve their goals," he added.
Grant awards range from $2,450 to $75,000. Among the 50 land trusts awarded grants were Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy, Agricultural Stewardship Association, North Shore Land Alliance, Hudson Highlands Land Trust, Columbia Land Conservancy, Saratoga PLAN, Otsego Land Trust, Lake George Land Conservancy, Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust, Genesee Land Trust, Western New York Land Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited and Open Space Institute.
For a summary of this round of grant awards and awardee directory, please click here.
The EPF-funded grants will also support urban trails and community garden programs administered by the Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn-Queens Land Trusts in New York City, as well as the Kingston Land Trust, and Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo.
Since the program's inception in 2002, the Conservation Partnership Program has awarded more than 570 grants totaling $9.5 million in EPF funds to 85 different land trust organizations across the state. The state's investment has leveraged more than $11 million in additional funding from local communities and private donors. The Land Trust Alliance administers the Conservation Partnership Program in coordination with DEC.
Recent research underscores how New York's investment in land conservation and open space boosts property values, supports local businesses, saves taxpayer dollars and protects public health.
A 2011 study by the Trust for Public Land found that every dollar of investment from New York's Environmental Protection Fund generates $7 in total economic benefits from tourism, reduced government costs and public health.

Q: How do I get the image file to be properly labeled when trying to produce topk predictions on an image? I am trying to produce a graph of the top 5 predictions from a image classifier for any given image.  My files are organized as such:

*

*Test/ --> class_name/ --> image_number
for example,

*Test/ --> chocolate/ --> 0015254.jpg

When I use the following code, I can't get the class name to redirect to print, it gives an error that results in every class being outputted (shown below).
class_to_idx:
classes = os.listdir(train_folder)
classes.sort()
#print(classes)
label_mapping = {k: v for v, k in enumerate(classes)}

class_to_idx = {classes[i]: i for i in range(len(classes))}

Here is the code to generate an image and print its top5 predictions:
def sanity_check(path):

  imagepath = test_folder + path
  image = process_image(imagepath)

  plot = imshow(image, ax = plt)
  plot.axis('off')
  plot.title(class_to_idx[str(classes)])
  plot.show()

  axes = predict(imagepath, model)

  yaxis = [class_to_idx[str(i)] for i in np.array(axes[1][0].cpu())]
  y_pos = np.arange(len(yaxis))
  xaxis = np.array(axes[0][0].cpu().numpy())

  plt.barh(y_pos, xaxis)
  plt.xlabel('probability')
  plt.yticks(y_pos, yaxis)
  plt.title('probability of {} classification'.format(name))

  plt.show()

path = '/chocolate_mousse/1379570.jpg'
sanity_check(path)

Here is the error:

Inspection Report published 5 April 2013 PDF | 81.2 KB
People should be cared for in a clean environment and protected from the risk of infection (outcome 8)
Providers of services comply with the requirements of regulation 12, with regard to the Code of Practice for health and adult social care on the prevention and control of infections and related guidance.
We looked at the personal care or treatment records of people who use the service, carried out a visit on 12 March 2013, observed how people were being cared for and checked how people were cared for at each stage of their treatment and care. We talked with people who use the service and talked with staff.
People were protected from the risk of infection because appropriate guidance had been followed.
People we spoke with had no concerns about the overall cleanliness of the service. One person said "The place is always spotless." All the people we spoke with confirmed that the dental staff wore protective equipment. And all said they were provided with goggles and a clothes protector when receiving care. Good infection control measures help to minimise the risk of the spread of infection.
We noted there was infection prevention literature in the waiting room, for people to read, or take away. This included a colouring booklet for small children, which highlighted the importance of always washing your hands properly.
We saw there were effective systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection. The practice had policies and procedures in place for the prevention and control of infection. The practice had cleaning and sterilisation processes that followed best practice guidelines and we saw that these were regularly monitored and audited to ensure these processes were maintained.
We spoke with one staff member who was very clear about what they would do should they get a puncture wound from equipment that had been used. They confirmed they were up-to-date with relevant immunisations, which were required to minimise the risk of the spread of infection. We noted the provider kept an immunisation record to be satisfied that the risk of harm to staff in those circumstances was minimised.
Three members of staff also told us all the clinical staff at the service were attending refresher infection control training later that week. This helped to ensure their practice and infection control knowledge was kept updated.

Q: Compare months (string) in two workbooks and loop I've created a macro that compares a cell in a master/main workbook (sheet "Basis") with approx 20 workbooks in a fixed folder. If there is a match, a cell value is copied to the master workbook. This process continues for each workbook in the folder. The macro works fine. Now, I would like to expand the macro also to recognize for which month data has to be copied in the main workbook. Every workbook from the fixed folder has the month in cell B9, fx "February - 2016". The B9cells have to be compared to the first row of the Basis sheet in the main workbook. When there is a match between the dates, then the macro that I've created so far is initiated.
Currently the code is fixed to loop through cells in column I of the main workbook, but should recognize whether the workbooks are in February, March, April and so on. I imagine I need to use InStr() and Offset(), but I'm not sure how especially because the months in the main workbook are inside merged cells.
This is the "Basis" sheet of the main/master workbook:

This is my code so far:

Transfers result from internal decisions to move resources between funds.
Where management decides to allocate unrestricted contributions to restricted funds, the unrestricted revenue would first be presented as revenue of the general fund and then transferred to the restricted fund.
Transfers need not be disclosed individually if similar transfers can be grouped together.
Interfund loans would be disclosed in the statement of financial position where the organization uses a multi-column format, otherwise disclosure of these loans would be in the notes.

Art Project: Forging Identity
"A safe Haven"
On Monday 10 June 2019 The Exhibition of the project Forging Identity was opened at the Jorge Rando Museum in Málaga. This year our art project was in collaboration with SOS Children´s Villages in El Palo, Málaga.
There were paintings on canvas by the mothers and one father who had participated, works on paper made by the children and works on canvas made by the group of adolescents.
As well as the children, adolescents and parents, also present were the director of the Jorge Rando Museum, Vanessa Diez, who suggested this project to us, Pablo Serrato who works for the museum, who was responsible for our project, Antonio Rodriguez, the director of SOS Children´s Villages, the 3 teachers who were involved, Virginia, Geronomo and Enrique, and the 3 Arts Societies who contributed financially: The Arts Society Costa del Sol (Yvonne Sjokvist), Benhavis (Jane Norrie) and Nerja (Helen Sijsling) and many of their members.
It was obvious that the 3 teachers are the real Champions. With themes like: your place within the family and your identity, the participants all went through quite a process, a real rollercoaster, before arriving at the works that were exhibited. The teachers are really suited for this job of giving art classes to vulnerable people and wanting to take them through a process.
The parents:
6 parents were involved: 5 mothers and one father, all struggling with serious problems. Only one mother who participated was present, Pepa. She was delighted with Children´s Villages and the possibility of the parents to have their own class. She was very enthusiastic about the teacher Enrique, who was really cut out for the job. She said the art class was like a safe haven, a moment to be alone and far away from the problems at home, Pepa hugged her teacher, she was so greatful.
The paintings of the mothers were quite cheerful, some still lifes. Some of the parents had never before painted but turned out a still life like a Matisse!.
The painting of the father was very interesting: a man surrounded by his thoughts and his shadow, and in the corner people falling into the flames of hell.!!! A Dantesque scene.
The adolescents:
Their paintings on canvas give food for thought and make you stop and think. They are all so profound. Obviously the teacher has prompted them with questions, with themes like their role in the family and their identity. Some of the paintings are quite dark, a lot of black is used. I was especially struck by Inma´s paintings: a whole circle of stick like figures in red with their arms waving in the air, and one in the middle black and arms at the side. I asked if that was her and she said yes. Her mother was there too, saying she was going through a difficult period. There was another girl who had painted a nearly all grey painting called Niebla (mist). Her teacher told me that there was a whole building underneath but she painted over it and hid it in the mist.
There is painting of a girl called Judith who has painted her motto across it: Vive y deja vivir. Live and let live
Another girl gave her painting the title: Amor y odio. Love and hate.
She made a second painting which was a portrait of Frida Kahlo!
Food for thought.....She said it was wonderful how you can express your feelings in a painting.
This was not just an art class, killing time, it has caused very interesting thought processes said the teacher, found obviously some dark sides, hopefully they will eventually forge their identity.
The children:
There was a child, Camille, who had only recently joined the group.
The children had worked on paper and with plasticine and the end result was a collage of cuttings from their works, glued to a big piece of paper as a final collective work. This girl only joined the class in time to help glue the pieces of art into the whole and she was so happy and proud showing the parts she had glued on to the paper, little rosettes and hands. She was so happy to be there and would love to be part of the painting group after the summer.
After the speeches there was a performance by a young man giving a violin concert, all organised by the Jorge Rando team.
It was wonderful to see so much happiness and greatfulness together, the mothers and children, but also the director of SOS and the 3 teachers. All real champions!
It was a pleasure and honour for us to collaborate on this project. It was great to realise we were making a difference in someone´s life. I think it actually is one of our most important objectives as The Arts Society Nerja.
After the summer this project will continue and finish before Christmas.
On behalf of SOS Children´s Villages we would like to thank all our members and all our visitors for having made this project possible. The exhibition will be in the SUR in English this week, on the Canal SUR and we will be sending an article to the Review, the magazine of The Arts Society in the UK.
In May 2019 there was an article in Sur in English about the exhibition:


The Apollo Program launched numerous missions to the Moon, Earth's nearest and only natural satellite. NASA is now planning new Moon missions as a first step toward human exploration of Mars and other planets. However, the Moon has an extreme environment for humans. In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) construction must be used on the Moon to build habitable structures. Previous studies on polymeric lunar concrete investigated top-down heating for stabilizing the surface. This study investigates bottom-up heating with manufacturing temperatures as low as 200 degrees C in a vacuum chamber that simulates the lunar environment. A maximum compressive strength of 5.7 MPa is attained; this is suitable for constructing habitable structures. Furthermore, the bottom-up heating approach achieves solidification two times faster than does the top-down heating approach. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of COSPAR.


This demo illustrates the connection between KIMEME, Matlab, and a generic Windows process, in this case Infolytica Magnet. This demo optimizes the geometry and dimensions of an electric motordrive to reach minimum weight and cost. Torque and efficiency values are calculated by means of FEM analysis carried on by Infolytica Magnet. The motor geometry is defined and modified by using the Matlab API. Cost and weight are estimated using an Excel spreadsheet.
600 FEM evaluations, with parallel execution on 4 workstations using KIMEME Network. Execution time: 35 minutes.


Wildcats Season Opener. The Arizona Wildcats kick off the Kevin Sumlin era at 7:45 p.m. Arizona time on Saturday, Sept. 1, against the official institution of higher knowledge for the disciples of Joseph Smith and his band of merry men, the Brigham Young Cougars. What better way to celebrate Smith and the Latter-day Saints than by tossing back a few cold ones? Well, lucky for you, Arizona Stadium will unveil its newest beverage at the season opener, with beer and wine being dispensed at the Labor Day weekend contest. For those of you who care more about the on-field product than the libations being slung on the concourse, you'll be happy to know that Heisman Trophy hopeful Khalil Tate returns as quarterback for the Wildcats, looking to one-up the 3,002 offensive yards and 26 touchdowns he accumulated as a sophomore. The Wildcats will look to get off to a solid start against a Cougars club that went 4-9 in 2017, ahead of a difficult game against Houston on the road on Sept. 8.
Bike Art Auction. The Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists are holding this auction at the Catalina Brewing Company for all things bicycle art! David Grant is the featured artists, but you'll also see works from Rudi Cycling Art, Bicibits, Lisa Reeves, V. Valdez Photography and DukesSaguaros. Artists will donate part of their sales for the night to SDMB, and Catalina Brewing Company will donate $1 per pint between 6 and 9 p.m. SDMB hopes to use the funds to build some new trails. Plus, the Jersey Grill food truck will be on hand serving up hoagies. There's bike art! There's brews! There's Boar's Head meat! Don't live with the regret you'll feel if you decide to sit this one out. 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30. Catalina Brewing Company, 6918 N. Camino Martin, #120, Marana.
Wonders of Worlds–Real and Imaginary. A new month means a new show from the Wilde Meyer Gallery, and this time around they're focusing on work that transports you away, both visually and mentally. With works that emphasize the beauty and wonder of good ol' nature as well as secret invented places created by artists, this is an exhibit with an effect that's almost as good as an actual weekend getaway. You'll see works by Linda Carter Holman, Ka Fisher, Connie Townsend and Andrea Peterson, just to name a few. Showing throughout September, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays and Fridays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. Don't miss the art walks from 5 to 7 p.m. every Thursday as well. Wilde Meyer Gallery, 2870 E. Skyline Drive. Free.
The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey. The Invisible Theatre is kicking off its 2018-2019 season with the Arizona premiere of this play by James Lecesne. You could call it a one-man show but only in a sense: There's one actor portraying every character in a small Jersey Shore town. The plot concerns the disappearance of 14-year-old Leonard Pelkey, a tenacious and flamboyant force of nature who drives home for the whole town the lesson that you don't know what you have until it's gone. As the search goes on, the town's residents find themselves questioning what means the most to them and what they leave behind. Tuesday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 16 with showtimes at 3 and 7:30 p.m., depending on the day. The Invisible Theatre, 1400 N. First Ave. $35 GA.
Les Miserables. Do you hear the people sing? Oh, you will. And the people will hear you sing too because you're going to have "Look Down" and "On My Own" stuck in your head for probably the rest of your life. This story of the peasant Jean Valjean and his journey to redemption, Eponine's unrequited love and Javert truly harshing everyone's vibes is set amid the 18th-century French Revolution and is the second longest-running musical in the world (after the Fantasticks). It's a theatrical experience that's always riveting, and a production of the show just finished an acclaimed two-and-a-half-year run on Broadway, so it's not to be missed when Broadway in Tucson kicks off its fall season. Tuesday, Sept. 4 to Sunday, Sept. 9. 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd. $19 to $160.
Every Brilliant Thing. When the 6-year-old protagonist of this story learns his mom is in the hospital because she tried to hurt herself, he leaves a note on her bed to remind her of all the things that make life worth living. "Ice cream" and "Kung Fu" movies, for example. "Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose," is an excellent one, and "me" is perhaps the saddest. This look at mental illness through a child's eyes is somehow poignant and funny all at once, and it breaks your heart and stitches it back together in exactly the way theatre is supposed to. Runs Thursday, Aug. 30, through Saturday, Oct. 6, 7:30 p.m. Fridays through Sundays and 3 p.m. on Sundays. Live Theatre Workshop, 5317 E. Speedway Blvd. $18 to $20.
The Dating Scene + TBD. The Tucson Improv Movement has exactly the same attitude toward dating that you'd probably expect them to: "Bad date, good story." And isn't that the truth? If your bad date was long enough ago, or just outrageous enough, for you to be ready to share it, you can share your story with the improv team, and they'll use it as inspiration to create a completely made-up-on-the-spot comedy show. Finally, that guy who offered to order an appetizer and refused to share it or that girl who left in the middle of the date because she got a call from her ex will make themselves useful by providing a roomful of people with entertainment. And you'll have the last laugh! 9 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Tucson Improv Movement, 414 E. Ninth St. $5.
Say Goodbye to the Dog Days of Summer. Goodbyes can be hard. But saying goodbye to the summer in Tucson? Not the hardest one. To make the transition to fall even more joyful, Old Tucson is throwing this event where kids 11 and under get in free, and DockDogs will be presenting dog diving competitions. You can even bring your own dog to see how they do at diving and to give them a chance to cool down. (After all, the dog days of summer aren't over quite yet). Register your dog for the competition online in advance if you're interested. Otherwise, just come prepared to watch and to enjoy games and prizes, vendors and nonprofit exhibitors, and special canine demonstrations. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1 through Monday, Sept. 3. Old Tucson, 201 S. Kinney Road. Normal admission is $19.95 for adults, with discounts for seniors, military and Pima County residents.
103rd Annual Sonoita Labor Day Rodeo. Billed as "the best little rodeo in Arizona," this event has more than 700 entries and $40,000+ in cash and buckles awarded to the top contestants of the Southwest. There's a junior rodeo at noon every day, the main performance at 2 p.m. and a steak fry and free rodeo dance Saturday and Sunday nights. Check out the merchandise and concessions, or, if you're into that sort of thing, consider camping for $10 a day or $25 for the three-day weekend. Gates open at 10 a.m. every day. Saturday, Sept. 1, through Monday, Sept. 3. Sonoita Fairgrounds, 3142 S. Highway 83. $15 for adults, $10 for kids ages 6 to 12 and free for kids under 6.
Tanque Verde Ranch Breakfast Ride. Sometimes you just need to take a step back from the real world and reset. And what better way to do it than get up early and take a horse ride through the gorgeous, cacti-ridden Sonoran desert to Destination: Blueberry Pancakes? Seriously, this is a thing at the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch. You can either do an all-skills-welcome walking ride or try the more challenging loping ride over to the Old Homestead, and then feast on ranch eggs, potatoes, bacon and the ranch's famous blueberry pancakes, all made right before your eyes. Then you can remount your horse and walk on back to the corral. Wear close-toed shoes and long pants, turn off cell phones, don't feed the horses, only wear hats if they have stampede strings and don't bring loose cameras or backpacks. Ages 12 and up. Sundays and Thursdays. Loping ride begins at 7 a.m. and walking ride begins at 7:15 a.m., and rides last about two-and-a-half hours. Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, 14301 E. Speedway. $75.
Science Saturday: Milk and Wool. The Wheeler Taft Abbett Sr. Library's first-Saturday science program is extra fuzzy this month. Guests ages 6 and up will learn all about how wool is made and about how it's not just cows who make milk—goats do it too. The Tucson Petting Zoo is presenting the event, and they're bringing a real sheep and goat for everyone to learn about and pet to their heart's content. It's always nice when opportunities to learn more about science and opportunities to pet soft animals overlap. 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Wheeler Taft Abbett Sr. Library, 7800 N. Schisler Drive. Free, but registration required.
Goldfishing at the Last Resort. Our friends over at the Last Resort, a local nonprofit animal rescue, have a pond full of goldfish—too much goldfish, in fact. So they're offering up this opportunity to local kids to come catch as many of the baby goldfish as they want (they're so young, they're not even gold yet). They'll provide nets, but visitors should bring their own containers to transport the fish home in. They're charging just 10 cents a fish. While you're on the small property, you'll also see some cats and bunnies—after all, it's an animal rescue. Due to the small staff's busy schedule and a need to rein in some sometimes overly friendly dogs, call ahead to make an appointment. Organization president Louise Chernetz can be reached at 792-9290. 923 N. Anita Ave.
Bilingual Living Lab and Learning Center Tour. The Watershed Management Group is back at it again, educating Tucsonans about water harvesting and sustainable living practices for arid landscape living like there's no tomorrow. They'll be giving a tour of their site, where they meet almost all of their water needs with rainwater, greywater and storm water, including having rainwater on tap. Bring the kids so they can enjoy the Raindrop retreat—a children's playhouse with a rain tank, a play kitchen with greywater and a sandbox. Dress prepared for the heat, as this tour takes place outside. And yes, the whole thing will be conducted in both Spanish and English. 8 to 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Watershed Management Group, 1137 N. Dodge Blvd. Free.
Cool Summer Nights at the Desert Museum. Happy birthday to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum! To celebrate, they're keeping things nice and low key for the final "Cool Summer Nights" of the summer. Stroll through the grounds as the sun sets, and bring a blacklight if you have one—you'll be fascinated (and maybe horrified) by how many scorpions there are wandering around. Museum docents will be on hand to talk about live animals, fluorescent minerals, kissing bugs, the desert skies and more. And, as usual, the stingray touch exhibit is open. Be sure to make reservations for the kids to check out the Packrat Playhouse, or just be ready to wait in line. We can't wait to see what's in store for the museum over the next year. 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, 2021 N. Kinney Road. $22 GA, $20 seniors 65 and up, $9 kids 2 to 12, $18 military, $17 Arizona/Sonora resident.
JourneyDance First Saturdays. JourneyDance is back! If you haven't had a chance to check out this monthly dance class with Joanna Carichner at Tucson Yoga Studio, why not try it this week? With both freestyle and structured movement and a whole lotta breath, sweat and expression, you'll (hopefully) come out the other side feeling like you're in your mind and out of your body. It's the sort of dance class that might make you hate the idea of taking a dance class a little less. For example, you get to be barefoot, you don't have to have any dance training and there are no mirrors, so it really, really doesn't matter what you look like. 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Tucson Yoga Studio, 150 S. Fourth Ave. $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
JOGS Gem and Jewelry Show. Got a minute this weekend? Why not check out one of the leading jewelry events in North America and one of the world's key jewelry markets? Exhibitors and buyers all over the world are converging to look for new products, exciting artist, unique resources and innovative ideas. Take a look at Amberman, an amber jewelry supplier based in L.A. Or how about Another Time and Place, which makes handmade sterling silver Turkish jewelry? Swiss watches! Antique sculptures! Turquoise and opals! Precious gems! They've got all sorts of stuff going on, which means you're sure to see something you like. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31, Saturday, Sept. 1 and Sunday, Sept. 2 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3. Tucson Expo Center, 3750 E. Irvington Road. $12.
Meditation for Modern Times. It's funny: Sometimes we tend to think of meditation as a practice that was most popular a long time ago, when, with the pace of today's world, it's something we ought to practice now more than ever. In fact, modern studies show that meditation is a fantastic way to regain a sense of calmness, happiness and optimism. The Core at La Encantada offers a monthly guided meditation with Amanda Freed, a certified meditation coach. All levels are welcome! When you leave, you might just feel a little more ready to take on the week. 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. The Core at La Encantada, 2905 E. Skyline Drive. $5.
MSA Annex Summer Night Market. Birds fly south for the winter, but with an event like this one, Tucsons should be flying west for the summer, or at least driving to western Tucson. All the new MSA Annex shops will be open, and there will be tons of vendors selling vintage and handmade goods as well. Have a drink at Westbound's outdoor bar if you need something to keep you going, and then you can get right back to shopping for all those upcoming fall birthdays. (Or you could just treat yourself!) Don't miss your last chance of the summer to make it to this event. 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31. MSA Annex, 267 S. Avenida del Convento.
Ladies Night at Cobra Arcade Bar. What could make an arcade bar full of specialty drinks even better? How about FREE TOKENS? That's right, ladies of Tucson, you'd better get ready to get your nostalgia on, because every Wednesday at Cobra, y'all are getting free tokens, all night long. Stop by from 4 to 7 p.m. if you want to hit happy hour, but if you're just focused on getting some good gaming time in, come whenever you want. 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4. Cobra Arcade Tucson, 63 E. Congress St. Free.
Star Party and Live Music at Oracle State Park. Let's get this party star-ted! It's bring-your-own-picnic to Oracle State Park for this event, but the Tucson Amateur Astronomer's Association and the Saddlebrooke SkyGazers Club are donating the use of their telescopes. Live music goes from 5 to 7 p.m., and the star party is from 7 to 9 p.m. And fun will be had all night long! Especially because it's slightly cooler up in Oracle. 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Kannally Ranch House at Oracle State Park. Event is free with entry to the park, which is $7 per vehicle.


Learn more about how HCN is transforming Learning & Development in engineering organiaztions.
Human-centered Instruction (HCN) is an instructional model that brings the methodologies of HCD and Instructional Design together under a single discipline. It's utilized by large corporate Learning & Development groups in partnership with the organizations they support and by smaller companies looking to create a talent advantage through growing and developing their teams.
Human-centered design (HCD) "starts with the people you're designing for and ends with new solutions that are tailor-made to suit their needs." It places a focus on building empathy for the individuals served through inspiration, ideation, and implementation.
Instructional Design (ID) is designed to make "instruction more efficient, effective, and appealing." Backed by cognitive and adult learning theory, it focuses on improving both the act of instruction and its outcome.
Modern Learning and Development cannot rely exclusively on HCD or ID alone in developing instructional material. In creating a symbiotic relationship between human-centered design and instructional design, it is possible to take the strengths of both systems and apply the resulting system to create excellent corporate training.
First published in 1999, human-centered design (HCD) gave designers a formal system by which to bring empathy for the end user into the design of interaction. Since its inception, HCD has been adopted by organizations as varied as IDEO, Google, and Stanford's d.school.
HCD and it's higher level parent, Design Thinking, contain strategies for assessing learner needs and exploring alternative methods of instruction. HCD equips educators with the tools to create meaningful custom instruction with higher relevance by building empathy for the learner. HCD methodologies such as effective interviews, immersion, and rapid prototyping enable educators to undertake instructional development process free of preconceptions, while methods such as piloting allow for fast iteration while risk is minimal.
HCD and Design Thinking are not without flaws. Human-centered design offers precisely one method for determining the success of created instruction and remains vague on tools for collecting and processing feedback. Another system is required to help HCD realize its full potential; one that focuses on the effectiveness of the instruction itself.
While the HCD methodologies focus almost exclusively on empathy for the learner, modern instructional design systems emphasize goals, performance, outcomes, and empirical measurements of success. Based on cognitive theory and adult learning principles, the discipline of instructional design focuses on how and why we learn.
Instructional design on its own lacks the strategies to build empathy. In spite of all modern instructional design systems being learner-centered, few offer the techniques, tactics, and tools necessary to create compassion for the learner. Though most ID systems champion an iterative process, few provide practical frameworks for managing learnings uncovered during the development phase of instruction.
Just as human-centered design needs instructional design, so too does ID need HCD.
Saying "human-centered design informed instructional design" is too verbose to be practical. When HCD and ID come together, the shortened term is "human-centered instruction." HCN consists of three distinct phases: Exploration, Creation, and Integration. Drawing from Kemp's model of instructional creation, these phases are non-linear and iterative.
Every step of human-centered instruction applies ideas, tactics, and techniques from both traditional instructional models and HCD methods.
The Exploration phase defines itself through information gathering and determining realistic outcomes for the instruction. HCD's Inspiration methods and ID's analysis methods work together to identify the problem better and set expectations for success.
The Creation phase defines itself as a need to achieve a testable model of instruction for iteration quickly. HCD's collection of Ideation methods and ID's sequencing and development models create an environment for fast learning on how education can be built, delivered, and extended.
The Integration phase defines itself by not only the delivery of instruction but requires that there exists the necessary support to train the next generation of instructors. ID's evaluative systems ensure the success of goals from the Exploration phase, while several HCD methods give educators the tools to guarantee empathy for the learner remains throughout the process.
From custom technical training to leadership onboarding bootcamps, it's possible for companies of any size to bring together HCD and instructional design to begin practicing human-centered instruction in all training solutions.

It may be called as a mysterious and impossible story, that a young boy from Konkan goes to Aurangabad for secondary education, where he participates in revolutionary activities, lands his hands on a revolver brought from London by Svatantyaveer Savarkar, and kills a high ranking cunning British officer ! However, this happened, and the name of the boy who achieved this impossible task is Anant Laxman Kanhere !
Anantarao was born in 1891 in a place named Aayani-mete in Ratnagiri district. He went to Aurangabad for English education and stayed there with his uncle. After a few years, he started living in a room rented from Gangaram Marwadi. Kashinath Tonape a member of a Secret Freedom Fighter's Organisation of Nasik administered the oath of secrecy of the Secret Organisation to Gangaram and Anantarao. After the incident of murder of Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie by Madanlal Dhingra as a revenge, Anantrao too became impatient to perform a similar task. Later, Gangaram tested Anatarao's tenacity; initially by keeping a red hot iron fork on his hands, and later, by making him hold a heated glass of a lit lantern with both hands. Anantarao remained unaffected during both the tests.
During this time, Nasik district was headed by a very cruel and cunning District administrator named Jackson. He sent freedom fighters such as Advocate Khare, singer of kirtans, Tambeshastri, Babarao Sawarkar etc. into prison. Jackson, in a way, signed on his own death warrant through such cruel deeds. Destiny chose Ananatrao to carry out this task. Anantrao practiced shooting for killing Jackson. He had a good look at Jackson by visiting the office of the District administrator. He got himself photographed to keep a memoir for his parents in case he was hanged after murdering Jackson.
On 21st December 1909, a stage play, 'Sharada' was organised by Kirloskar Theatre group at Vijayanand Theatre, Nasik to honour Jackson. Anantrao was already present in the theatre hall. As soon as Jackson entered the theatre, he fired a bullet at him, but it missed. So he came forward and fired four more bullets at him. Jackson died on the spot, and Anantrao calmly surrendered to the Police.
Anantarao and his colleagues, Anna Karve and Vinayak Deshpande were sentenced to death for the killing of Jackson. On 19th April 1910, at 7 a.m., these three brave freedom fighters faced their death courageously in Thane prison. The British government did not heed to the plea of their relatives and cremated the dead bodies at the bank of a pond. The ashes were immersed in the pond so that the relatives should not even get hold of the ashes.
Children, remember, we have attained freedom because of the sacrifice of such martyrs like Anant Kanhere, who at the age of 18 years sacrificed his life for the country.

Why Dogecoin Continues to Trend
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange. It's complicated cryptography that allows for the creation and processing of digital currencies and their transactions across decentralized systems. For centuries, people have used money as a method of exchange. However, as society moves towards a more technological infrastructure, it makes perfect sense that it'd consider a digital currency as its main method of exchange which is free from government manipulation and control.
There are several other cryptocurrencies that are popular. It's trending on the news recently because of its increased value. Furthermore, it helps that Elon Musk and other giants in the financial industry are starting to voice their opinions on the trends.
Digital currencies are becoming more commonly accepted. In the mainstream, Bitcoin and Ethereum aren't the only digital currencies that are hitting record highs this week. Dogecoin, or as some may pronounce it "doggie coin" is a cryptocurrency that was invented by engineers named Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. They wanted to create a payment system that was free and fun from traditional banking systems.
There are some exchanges that offer DOGE/BTC and DOGE/LTC trading. Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency that features the face of a Shiba Inu dog, has surpassed 10 cents for the first time. It's not trending necessarily because of its usability though. It has a large following on Reddit which is one of the major reasons it continues to surge as they are major supporters of the dog. Musk is Dogecoin's richest fan, however, since Coinbase becoming public, dogecoin surged along with it.
Coinbase is an American company that operates a cryptocurrency exchange where you can purchase bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. With its recent announcement and surge in media, this caused a chain reaction bringing more attention to all cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin. While Dogecoin cannot be purchased via Coinbase's app, there is a demand for crypto and it's fan status continues to rise.
