Title: A nonlinear version of Bourgain's projection theorem, with applications.
Abstract: Bourgain's projection theorem is an extension of his celebrated discretized sum-product estimate that has found striking applications in ergodic theory and other areas. I will discuss a generalization of the projection theorem from the family of linear projections to parametrized families satisfying a technical but mild condition. I will present some applications to distance sets and direction sets, as well as a relaxation of the hypotheses of the theorem that is new even in the linear case. The proofs are based on applying the original version of the theorem to measures in a suitable multiscale decomposition, that I will describe if time allows.

Title: Arnold Diffusion in Multi-Dimensional Convex Billiards
Abstract: Consider billiard dynamics in a strictly convex domain, and consider a trajectory that begins with the velocity vector making a small positive angle with the boundary. Lazutkin proved in the 70's that in two dimensions, it is impossible for this angle to tend to zero along trajectories. Using the geometric techniques of Arnold diffusion, we show that in three or more dimensions, assuming the geodesic flow on the boundary of the domain has a hyperbolic periodic orbit and a transverse homoclinic, the existence of such trajectories is a generic phenomenon in the real-analytic category.

Title: Partially hyperbolic surface endomorphisms
Abstract: Partially hyperbolic surface endomorphisms are a family of not necessarily invertible surface maps which are associated with interesting dynamics. The dynamical behaviour of these maps is less understood than their invertible counterparts, and existing results show that they can exhibit properties not possible in the invertible setting. In this talk, I will discuss recent results regarding the classification of partially hyperbolic surface endomorphisms. We shall see that either the dynamics of such a map is in some sense similar to a linear map, or that the map falls into a special class of interesting examples. This is joint work with Layne Hall
Joel Moreira (Warwick)
Title: Multicorrelation sequences, nilsequences and primes
Abstract: Multicorrelation sequences are fundamental objects of study in ergodic Ramsey theory. The structure of multicorrelation sequences for a single transformation was described by Bergelson, Host and Kra, up to a negligible error. A similar description was later obtained by Frantzikinakis for several commuting transformations, with an arbitrarily small (but no longer negligible) error. Recently Le proved an analogue of the Bergelson-Host-Kra theorem for averages over the set of prime numbers. In this talk I will explain how to obtain a similar analogue of Frantzikinakis theorem for averages over the primes.
This talk is based on joint work with Anh Le and Florian Richter.

Title: Complex Feigenbaum phenomena with degenerating geometries
Abstract: The renormalisation is one of the main focus of the theory of one-dimensional complex dynamics. It is connected to the central conjectures on the density of hyperbolicity and the local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set. For quadratic polynomials, there are two different types of renormalisations — the primitive and satellite types. The primitive renormalisation has been successfully studied over the past few decades; the corresponding maps exhibit tame dynamical behaviour. The satellite type has a very different nature and remained mostly mysterious until recently. In this talk, we discuss the wide range of possibilities for the dynamics in presence of infinitely many satellite renormalisation structures.
Adrien Boulanger (Marseille)
Title: Counting problems in infinite measure.
Abstract: Given a group acting properly and discontinuously on a metric space, one would like to measure how big is the orbit of a point in counting how many points of such an orbit lie in some ball of large radius.
A simple asymptotic of the above quantity when the radius of the ball goes to infinity would be called a counting result.
In the setting of Kleinian groups, e.g discrete groups of isometries of some hyperbolic space, the question was extensively studied for decades. There is mainly two different approaches to this problem: the analytical one, relying on the Selberg's pre-trace formula, and the dynamical one which relies on the mixing of the geodesic flow. Both of them need a finite measure assumption somewhere to work.
During this talk we shall see how to 'merge' the two methods through the introduction of the Brownian motion in order to drop the finite measure assumption for a weaker one.
Paul Verschueren (Imperial)
Title: Anergodic Birkhoff Sums
Abstract: Anergodic Birkhoff Sums lie in the growing intersection between Number Theory and Dynamical Systems.
A paradigmatic example is given by the final paper by Hardy & Littlewood on Diophantine Approximation. In this paper Hardy & Littlewood deployed many of the advanced techniques they had previously developed in order to analyse the growth of the Birkhoff sum of cosecants. Davenport wrote In his introduction to The Collected Papers of GH Hardy : "The proof of this remarkable result is curiously indirect; it involves contour integration and the use of Cesaro means of arbitrarily high order". He included it in his list of the top 5 unsolved problems from Hardy's work, adding: "The problem is to give a simpler and more direct proof of these results".
A breakthrough was made in 2009 by Sinai and Ulcigrai who proved a result on a related series of cotangents using the "cut and stack" technique of interval dynamics. Although "elementary", the proof was far from simple! We will present another new approach based on circle dynamics, and discuss the challenges remaining.
Mehdi Yazdi (Oxford)
Title: The Perron-Frobenius degrees of Perron algebraic integers
Abstract: A real algebraic number p \geq 1 is called Perron if it is strictly larger than its other Galois conjugates. An important theorem of Lind classified the set of possible entropies of mixing shifts of finite type as the set of logarithms of Perron numbers. Given p, the smallest size of such shift of finite type is defined as the Perron-Frobenius (PF) degree of p. For a Perron number p that is not totally-real, we give a lower bound for its PF degree, in terms of the layout of the Galois conjugates of p in the complex plane. As an application, we obtain a result known to Lind, McMullen and Thurston namely there are cubic Perron numbers whose PF degrees are arbitrary large. I will discuss connections to certain mapping class group problems.
Yan Mary He (Luxembourg)
Title: A Riemannian metric and Hausdorff dimension on the Mandelbrot set
Abstract: In this talk, we introduce a Riemannian metric on hyperbolic components of the Mandelbrot set which is conformal equivalent to the pressure metric. As an application, we show that the Hausdorff dimension function has no local maximum on any hyperbolic component. Along the way, we introduce multiplier functions for invariant probability measures on Julia sets, which is a key ingredient in the construction of our metric. This is joint work with Hongming Nie.

Title: Anomalous diffusion in deterministic systems
Abstract: In sufficiently slowly mixing dynamical systems, the classical central limit theorem breaks down and may lead to convergence to a superdiffusive Levy process.
After reviewing older work on Pomeau-Manneville intermittent maps, we will describe recent results on
(i) convergence to Levy processes in billiards,
(ii) convergence to superdiffusive stochastic processes in fast-slow systems.
The results cast light upon, and raise questions about, the various Skorokhod topologies used in the analysis of superdiffusive phenomena.
Disheng Xu (Imperial)
Title: Pathology and asymmetry: centralizer rigidity for partially hyperbolic system
Abstract: In this talk we will discuss some results and some open problems on the subject the classifications of the centralizer of partially hyperbolic systems. For example, conservative perturbation of discretized geodesic flow over negatively curved surface, partially hyperbolic skew product or DA system on tori, etc. Joint work with D. Damjanovic and A. Wilkinson and joint work with S. Gan, Y. Shi and J. Zhang.
Arturo Viero (Barcelona)
Title: Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcation under a periodic forcing.
Abstract: We consider a Hamiltonian with an equilibrium having a Hopf
bifurcation such that it becomes a complex saddle with compact invariant
manifolds. We add a very simple non-autonomous periodic perturbation
that contains infinitely many terms.
We study the splitting of the invariant 2-dimensional stable/unstable manifolds
after the perturbation using a first order Poincaré-Melnikov approach. Due to
the interaction of the intrinsic angle and the periodic perturbation the
splitting behaves quasi-periodically on two angles. We are interested in the
relevant harmonics of the splitting functions and in the detection of harmonics
associated to best approximants which never dominate the splitting (hidden
harmonics). Different frequencies of the time periodic perturbation will be
considered: quadratic irrationals, frequencies having continuous fraction
expansion with bounded and unbounded quotients, and "typical" frequencies in
measure theoretical sense.
This is a joint work with Ernest Fontich and Carles Simó.
Victor Kleptsyn (Rennes). This seminar will take place at 4pm in room MS.02
Title:The Furstenberg theorem: adding a parameter and removing the stationarity.
Abstract: The classical Furstenberg theorem describes the (almost sure) behaviour of a random product of independent matrices from SL(n,R); their norms turn out to grow exponentially. In our joint work with A. Gorodetski, we study what happens if the random matrices from SL(2,R) depend on an additional parameter. It turns out that in this new situation, the conclusion changes. Namely, under some natural conditions, there almost surely exists a (random) "exceptional" set on parameters where the lower limit for the Lyapunov exponent vanishes.
Another direction of the generalization of the classical Furstenberg theorem is removing the stationarity assumption. That is, the matrices that are multiplied are still independent, but no longer identically distributed. Though in this setting most of the standard tools are no longer applicable (no more stationary measure, no more Birkhoff ergodic theorem, etc.), it turns out that the Furstenberg theorem can (under the appropriate assumptions) still be generalized to this setting, with a deterministic sequence replacing the Lyapunov exponent.
The two generalizations can be mixed together, providing the Anderson localization conclusions for the non-stationary 1D random Schrödinger operators.
Olivier Glorieux (IHES)
Title : Random paths on negatively curved manifolds.
Abstract : Simple random walks have been studied in many different contexts. However they often rely on a fixed measure on a group that one iterates. In this talk we will describes a random process on Hadamard manifolds, defined through the use of Dirichlet fundamental domains, that does not come from a simple random walk.
We will explain how the spectral theory can help us to understand the problem and will show converging properties for this Markov process.
Polina Vytnova (Warwick)
Title : Dimension of Bernoulli convolutions: computer assisted estimates.
Abstract: Bernoulli convolutions is a family of self-similar probability measures on the unit interval. The question of computing the Hausdorff dimension for specific parameter values has recently received lots of attention. We will present several computer-assisted methods addressing tricky values, such as Salem numbers. Based on the joint work with M. Pollicott and V. Kleptsyn
Catherine Bruce (Manchester)
Title: Projections of random measures on products of $\times m,\times n$-invariant sets and a random Furstenberg sumset conjecture
Abstract: In 2012 Hochman and Shmerkin proved that, given Borel probability measures on [0,1] invariant under multiplication by 2 and 3 respectively, the Hausdorff dimension of the orthogonal projection of the product of these measures is equal to the maximum possible value in every direction except the horizontal and vertical directions. Their result holds beyond multiplication by 2,3 to natural numbers m,n which are multiplicatively independent. We discuss a generalisation of this theorem to include random cascade measures on subsets of [0,1] invariant under multiplication by multiplicatively independent m,n. We will define random cascade measures in a heuristic way, as a natural randomisation of invariant measures on symbolic space. The theorem of Hochman and Shmerkin fully resolved a conjecture of Furstenberg originating in the late 1960s concerning sumsets of these invariant sets. We apply our main result to present a random version of this conjecture which holds for products of percolations on $\times m, \times n$-invariant sets.
Natalia Jurga (Surrey)
Title: Dimension spectrum of non-conformal iterated function systems
Abstract: Given an infinite iterated function system (IFS) $\Phi=\{\phi_i: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d\}_{i \in \N}$ of contractions, one can define the dimension spectrum $D(\Phi):=\{\dim F_I : I \subset \mathbb{N}\}$, where $F_I$ denotes the attractor of the subsystem $\{\phi_i\}_{i \in I}$.
Dimension spectra were introduced by Kessebohmer and Zhu (Journal of Number Theory, 2006) alongside their proof of the Texan conjecture, which asserted that $D(\Phi)=[0,1]$ when the associated IFS is given by the inverse branches of the Gauss map. Recently there has been interest in the topological properties of $D(\Phi)$ in the case that the maps in $\Phi$ are conformal, (eg. Chousionis, Leykekhman & Urbanski, Transactions of the AMS, 2019 & Selecta Mathematica, to appear; Das & Simmons, preprint, 2019).
In this talk we'll discuss the challenges that arise when investigating the dimension spectrum of IFS consisting of non-conformal maps and interesting new phenomena that emerge in this setting.
Reem Yassawi (Open University)
Title: The Ellis semigroup of some nontame shifts
Abstract: Let (X, σ) be a topological dynamical system, where X is a compact metric space
and σ : X → X is a homeomorphism. Its Ellis semigroup is the compactification
of the group action generated by σ in the topology of pointwise convergence on the
space $X^X$. The Ellis semigroup is, typically, a huge beast, and its computation has
been restricted mainly to systems (X, σ) which are metrically equicontinuous; such
systems are called tame.
In this talk we describe a complete description of the Ellis semigroup for a
family of nontame shifts (X, σ). These are shifts defined by bijective substitutions,
of which the Thue-Morse shift is an example. (X, σ) admits an equicontinuous
factor π : (X, σ) → (Y, δ), and so the Ellis semigroup E(X) is an extension of
Y by its subsemigroup $E^{fib}(X)$ of elements which preserve the fibres of π; this
includes all idempotents. We give a complete description of $E^{fib}(X)$, expressing it
as an uncountable product of the finite group G, defined to be the normal closure
of the group generated by the idempotents, with a semigroup Σ. We illustrate
with examples all the possibilities that can occur. This is joint work with Johannes
Kellendonk.
Jon Chaika (Utah)
Title: There exists a weakly mixing billiard in a polygon.
Abstract: This main result of this talk is that there exists a billiard flow in a polygon that is weakly mixing with respect to Liouville measure (on the unit tangent bundle to the billiard). This strengthens Kerckhoff, Masur and Smillie's result that there exists ergodic billiard flows in polygons. The existence of a weakly mixing billiard follows, via a Baire category argument, from showing that for any translation surface the product of the flows in almost every pair of directions is ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure. This in turn is proven by showing that for every translation surface the flows in almost every pair of directions do not share non-trivial common eigenvalues. This talk will explain the problem, related results, and approach. Time permitting it will present a bit of the argument to rule out shared eigenvalues. The talk will not assume familiarity with translation surfaces. This is joint work with Giovanni Forni.
Cagri Sert (Zürich) Zoom link
Title: The joint spectrum and spectral radius of random products of matrices
Abstract: I will survey some recent progress on random matrix products theory. In a first part, I will talk about the recently introduced notion of joint spectrum, an asymptotic limit shape associated to a bounded set of invertible matrices, and its relevance in random matrix products theory. In a second part, I will focus on the spectral radius of random products and mention some recent limit theorems. Based on joint works with Richard Aoun and Emmanuel Breuillard.
Florian Richter (Northwestern)
Title: Dynamical generalizations of the Prime Number Theorem and disjointness of additive and multiplicative actions
Abstract: One of the fundamental challenges in number theory is to understand the intricate way in which the additive and multiplicative structures in the integers intertwine. We will explore a dynamical approach to this topic. After introducing a new dynamical framework for treating questions in multiplicative number theory, we will present an ergodic theorem which contains various classical number-theoretic results, such as the Prime Number Theorem, as special cases. This naturally leads to a formulation of an extended form of Sarnak's conjecture, which deals with the disjointness of actions of $(\mathbb{N},+)$ and $(\mathbb{N},\times)$. This talk is based on joint work with Vitaly Bergelson.
Jungwon Lee (Paris)
Title: Dynamics of continued fractions and conjecture of Mazur-Rubin Zoom link
Abstract: Mazur and Rubin established several conjectural statistics for modular symbols. We show that the conjecture holds on average. We plan to introduce the approach based on spectral analysis of transfer operator associated to a certain skew-product Gauss map and consequent result on mod p non-vanishing of modular L-values with Dirichlet twists (joint with Hae-Sang Sun).
Han Yu (Cambridge)
Title: Arithmetical independence between doubling sequences and distal sequences.
Abstract: On the one-dimensional torus, consider the doubling map and the irrational rotation map. Those two maps behave very differently. In this talk, we shall see that these two maps are in some sense independent to each other. More precisely, given any pair of numbers (a,b) with b being irrational, the closure of $\{2^n a+nb\}_{n\geq 0}$ has full Hausdorff dimension.
Charles Fougeron (Paris)
Title: Dynamics of multidimensional continued fraction algorithms and simplicial systems Zoom link
Abstract: By using a randomized approach to multidimensional continued fraction algorithms we can study their dynamics using random walks methods.
These techniques enables us to introduce a graph criterion to show ergodicity of such algorithms. Moreover it provides us with a convenient tool to prove exponential tail results and start a thermodynamical study of their dynamics. I will start by explaining how one can give a graph description of a multidimensional continued fraction algorithm called a simplicial system. Then I will explain the random walk point of view on these objects and how it implies dynamical results.
I will finish by explaining some applications on fractal dimensions (e.g. for the Rauzy gasket) using thermodynamic formalism.
Daniel Glasscock (University of Massachusetts, Lowell)
Title: Uniformity in the dimension of sumsets of p- and q-invariant sets, with applications in the integers Zoom link
Abstract: : Harry Furstenberg made a number of conjectures in the 60's and 70s seeking to make precise the heuristic that there is no common structure between digit expansions of real numbers in different bases. Recent solutions to his conjectures concerning the dimension of sumsets and intersections of times p- and q-invariant sets now shed new light on old problems. In this talk, I will explain how to use tools from fractal geometry and uniform distribution to get uniform estimates on the Hausdorff dimension of sumsets of times p- and q-invariant sets. I will explain how these uniform estimates lead to applications in the integers: the dimension of a sumset of a p-invariant set and a q-invariant set in the integers is as large as it can be. This talk is based on joint work with Joel Moreira and Florian Richter
Bassam Fayad (Paris)
Title : Multilple Borel Cantelli lemma and applications Zoom link
Abstract : The Borel Cantelli lemma is a classical tool to decide whether almost surely an infinite number of rare events are realized. It does not give however any information on the repartition in time of the realizations. We extend the Borel Cantelli lemma to characterize the realization infinitely many times, of multiple events in a same time scale.
Dynamical versions of this extension allow to characterize multiple recurrence and multiple hitting of shrinking targets for exponentially dynamical mixing systems. Among the applications are multilog laws for geodesic excursions (generalizing Sullivan's logarithm law) as well as for Diophantine approximations (generalizing the Khintchine-Groshev theorems).
This is a joint work with Dmitry Dolgopyat et Sixu Liu.
Sylvain Crovisier (Orsay)
Title: Renormalization of Hénon maps Zoom link
Abstract: For surface diffeomorphisms, a strictly positive entropy is associated with the existence of 'horseshoes'. I will focus on surface diffeomorphisms with zero entropy: can the dynamics of these 'simple' systems be described? how does it bifurcate to positive entropy systems? These questions will be discussed for a class of volume-contracting surface diffeomorphisms whose dynamics is intermediate between one-dimensional dynamics and general surface dynamics. It includes the dynamics of any Hénon diffeomorphism with Jacobian smaller than 1/4.
De Carvalho, Lyubich and Martens have built a renormalization for the (real) Hénon maps with Jacobian close to 0 and described the boundary of the parameters with zero entropy. With E. Pujals and C. Tresser we extend some of these results up to Jacobian 1/4: any Hénon map with zero entropy can be renormalized. As a consequence, we obtained a two-dimensional version of Sharkovsky's theorem about the set of periods of interval maps.

Anders Karlsson (Genève)
Title: An ergodic theorem for noncommuting random products Zoom link
Abstract: The composition of random maps that do not commute was perhaps first discussed by Poincaré, but also studied from the 1950s and onward with the need to solve linear difference equations with random coefficients, giving rise to products of random matrices. It also appears in differentiable dynamics, with the derivative cocycle. In both these settings a basic fundamental theorem is the multiplicative ergodic theorem of Oseledets from 1968 asserting the existence of Lyapunov exponents. But there are also several non-linear settings of interests, such as random walks on groups, surface homeomorphisms, holomorphic maps, and deep learning. In joint works, first with Margulis, then with Ledrappier and finally with Gouëzel, we establish a general extension of the multiplicative ergodic theorem, that in a way responds to a question raised by Furstenberg in 1963. It is given in terms of metric functionals (which include horofunctions) and suggests a (non-linear) metric functional analysis and spectral theory.

Portuguese director de Oliveira offers his assured style to 'The Strange Case of Angelica.'
De Oliveira's 'Angelica' Balming, Enlivening
Dennis Harvey January 7, 2011
Let's face it, there's a certain morbidity to awards of the "lifetime achievement" variety. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may not have spies in Southern California doctors' offices, but you know they've got their ears to the ground somehow—eager not to wait too long, lest that beloved industry veteran who's never won a regular Oscar evade getting his or her special one before their next red carpet event leads to Pearly Gates.
There probably aren't any such awards left to give Manoel de Oliveira; he's already collected them all, and still refuses to stop creating. In 1994 he received the Film Society Award for Lifetime Achievement in Directing (then called the Akira Kurosawa Award, in honor of its first recipient) at the San Francisco International Film Festival—adding to a shelf already cluttered with similar totems from Cannes, Venice, Montreal and elsewhere. It is a safe bet that no one hereabouts thought the then 86-year-old director would have too many more active years in which to further fill out his already lengthy resume.
Yet here we are, in the second decade of a brand new millennium, and what's opening at the Roxie this Friday? The latest feature by Manoel de Oliveira, who by now has continued chugging along against all odds for so long it no longer seems strange that he is the oldest working filmmaker in the world. It's just another peculiar fact of life. Yes, just another 102-year-old busy making art with a full crew and the coproduction funding of France, Portugal, Spain and Brazil at his disposal.
The Strange Case of Angelica is his 22nd film since that San Francisco visit—a late bloomer, you might say, de Oliveira only made three features in his career's first four decades, partly because he was not in sympathy to the dictatorship of Antonio Salazar, who inconveniently came into power a year after the director's first completed short. He occupied many long years of artistic dormancy in various capacities, doing everything from racing cars to running a vineyard. Gathering material, perhaps.
"All my films are religious," he's said, and Angelica manages to muse upon death and the afterlife without any of the autumnal feel one might expect from an artist who must be feeling pretty dang close to those topics. Instead, it's droll, placid and alluring, an enigmatic and ambiguous expression of bemused contentment at the miraculous. Its playfulness is a little like late Bunuel—only this filmmaker, far from being the scourge of the church, was actually invited to meet Pope in Lisbon just last year. (You know you've arrived when the Pope comes to visit you.)
Strange Case is a nearly all-Portuguese affair, unlike some recent de Oliveira joints in which he's shot abroad (New York, Paris) or used foreign marquee actors (Catherine Deneuve, John Malkovich). Its protagonist Isaac (the director's grandson Ricardo Trepa) is a somber young photographer summoned by chance to snap pictures of a bride who's died tragically young. He first encounters the late Angelica (Spanish star Pilar Lopez de Ayala) surrounded by mourners at her wake, a gorgeous redhead with beatific smile reclining on a chaise lounge—as if merely dozing, dreaming of a lover.
When he peers through his lens, Isaac is started to see her open her eyes to grin at him. No one else seems to notice, however. Later in his apartment, the developed prints likewise become animated under his gaze; sleeping, he's taken flying through the night air (via charmingly primitive FX) by this luminous specter. Is Isaac mad, haunted, or blessed by a love that transcends this mortal coil? Is his discomfiting infatuation Angelica's way of lingering in the realm of the living?
Leisurely but never lax, Strange Case has room for lengthy philosophical discussions—amongst the very civil fellow boarders at Isaac's boarding house—and several church visits as well as more fanciful events. Its images (Sabine Marcelin is the director of photography) are unshowy yet lovely; our hero grows ever more hapless and hysterical, yet the film's composure is unshakeable. The Chopin piano strains which seem to herald gracious melancholy at Strange Case's start become an ode to tranquil joy by its end.
At one point Isaac, looking every inch the Sephardic Jew amongst devout Catholics in his dignified black suit and hat, revisits the deceased's estate and while waiting for her mother studies a goldfish in a bowl. Its shape and size distorted by the circular glass, this swimming splash of vivid color in a monochrome setting is pure de Oliveira: Something at once surreal, sophisticated, slightly silly and serene. One expects nothing less from a director who, confounding all logic, soldiers on eight decades after making his cinematic debut at the tail end of the silent era. His latest film is a tale of amour fou that's contrarily as balming yet enlivening as a warm bath of Epsom salts.

Technology from the startup Primer helps analysts find even the most obscure events they need to know about in a sea of data.
Last July, more than two dozen people were hurt during a shooting at a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas, an incident that was gang-related, according to local and national media coverage.
If you were an analyst in the American intelligence community covering terrorism issues related to Russia, that conclusion wouldn't have interested you. What would have stopped you in your tracks, though, was that the next day the Russian consulate tweeted that the attack may have been terrorism involving Russians.
In the flood of news coverage of the attack and the countless other developments in the world, you might have missed the terrorism theory. After all, humans can only process so much information manually. But if you'd been using a new visualization tool from the artificial intelligence startup Primer, you would seen the intense interest in Russian media about the Little Rock attack. Though that theory eventually proved to be incorrect, you'd at least have been aware of the possibility, and been able to make some decisions about what you wanted to report to your superiors.
Today, Primer is coming out of stealth. The 35-person startup, which has raised $14.7 million to date and recently closed a Series A round of funding, has developed a machine learning system that is able to quickly search through tens of millions of data sources–news articles, academic papers, social media posts, and so on–to surface the kinds of information that is essential to both intelligence analysts and corporate analysts alike. The system is also capable of delivering the most salient data points in natural language that approaches the level of what a human analyst might write.
Primer's initial customers are In-Q-Tel, a nonprofit venture capital firm that invests in companies developing technologies useful to the CIA and other intelligence agencies; Walmart, and Singapore's $100 billion sovereign wealth fund, GIC.
Primer's pitch to corporate and government clients is its technology's ability to sift through immense quantities of data. According to IDC, the total amount of data produced globally will grow from 16.1 zettabytes (a trillion gigabytes) in 2016 to 163 zettabytes by 2025. Of that, 5.2 zettabytes will be subject to data analysis by 2025, 50 times more than last year. Artificial intelligence systems are expected to touch about 1.4 zettabytes by 2025, 100 times more than last year.
Those are big numbers, and Primer believes its technology can help its customers find the meaningful information that lives at the far end of the long tail, things that might be hidden in, as Gourley puts it, the seventh paragraph on page 163 of an obscure report. A human analyst might never have the time in her day to uncover something so deep in the stack, but Primer's system is meant to highlight it if matches the analyst's interests–and do so in a way that's easy to digest and pass on to others.
Part of what Primer is unveiling today is its visualization tool–built by a former New York Times infographic artist. As shown, the tool shows the evolution, over time, of tens of millions of Russian- and English-language articles on a map of the world, with color-coded geographical hotspots indicating media interest in topics related to terrorism. That's how an American intelligence analyst might have first noticed Russian interest in the Little Rock attack.
Similarly, the tool can easily show how, in September 2016, there were a significant number of articles written in Beslan, Russia, about a new documentary film that reports on a massive hostage crisis that took place there in 2004. Or how last January, Russian media was obsessed with coverage of a court case in The Hague brought by the Ukrainian government alleging support by Moscow for terrorism in Crimea.
The visualization tool–which Primer clients can use to search for numerous topics of interest–is meant to be advanced day by day, which allows analysts to see, at a glance, where the daily hotspots of interest were in both Russian and English media. In essence, it's about being able to quickly triage the most important pieces of information in a very messy mountain of unstructured data.
The same strategy applies to corporations, Gourley says. Although he wouldn't spell out exactly how Walmart is using Primer's tools, he explained that, for example, the retail giant might have an internal analyst covering the snacks or beverages businesses. That person would likely be spending part of every day searching for data on organic beef, or looking for consumer trends, new behaviors, or health studies that could help produce internal reports.
As with those in the intelligence world, these corporate analysts face an overwhelming amount of data on a daily basis, and Primer believes its tools can give its customers a leg up on those who rely on more manual approaches to sifting through the innumerable sources of information.
The system is also meant to be quick. Depending on how much computing power a customer wants to devote to it, Primer's tools can generate reports in between five to 30 minutes.
Ultimately, Gourley argues, customers using Primer's technology will find themselves with more time to devote to following hunches–something they may not have been able to do previously because they'd have had to be heads-down trying to digest the never-ending flood of data.

preferred citation: Merle Hansen Papers, MS 595, Special Collections Department, Iowa State University Library.
Merle Elwin Hansen, grandson of a Norwegian immigrant, was born on his family's farmstead just north of Newman Grove, Nebraska on November 11, 1919. Hansen enlisted in the U.S. Navy on December 8, 1941 and served during World War II. Hansen attained the rank of Chief Yeoman and was honorably discharged in 1945. After military service, Hansen returned to Newman Grove and farming. Hansen farmed, owned a fertilizer business, and was active in Charolais cattle buying and breeding.
Hansen has held a lifelong interest in politics. Hansen's father and grandfather operated a garage in the Newman Grove area that became a gathering place during Depression years for farmers frustrated with their economic plight. In the early 1970's, Hansen joined and became President of Nebraskans For Peace, a group whose main focus was stopping the United States' involvement in Vietnam. Hansen ran unsuccessfully for University of Nebraska Regent in 1976 and for the Nebraska Legislature in 1978.
By the early 1980's, Hansen's energies as a social activist focused on rural issues, particularly the economic struggles of farmers and the fate of the American family farm. By 1978 Hansen was the second ranking member of the Nebraska Chapter of the American Agricultural Movement. Hansen rose to the office of Vice-President of the United States Farmers Association (USFA) in 1982.
In 1983, a number of USFA members, including Hansen, met and created another organization, the North American Farm Alliance (NAFA), with Hansen as its first elected Chairman. NAFA was a loose coalition of pro-farm organizations and labor and community organizations. In addition to USFA and NAFA, Hansen was active in numerous other farm protest activist organizations, including The Farmers Union and the Nebraska National Farmers Organization.
Hansen was active in the Reverend Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition movement and by the mid-1980's became Reverend Jackson's Agricultural Advisor. Hansen worked for the Rev. Jackson for President campaign in 1984 and again in 1988. In 1984, Hansen addressed the Democratic National Convention when he seconded the nomination of the Rev. Jackson for President.
Among the many awards Hansen has received were the Conservation Farm Award for Madison County, Nebraska; the 1990 FDR award from the Nebraska Democratic Party; and one of two inaugural Dixon Terry Tom Saunders Rainbow Rural Leadership Awards from the National Rainbow Coalition in 1990.
This collection (1932-1999, n.d.) documents the life of Merle Hansen and the activities of various farmers' organizations and pro-farm protest groups and contains correspondence, legal records, news clippings, creative works, publications, photographs, two reels of magnetic audiotape, and a small number of artifacts relating to farm protest groups and the Reverend Jesse Jackson for President Campaign. The collection also contains records of the North American Farmers Alliance including correspondence, memorandums, financial records, meeting materials, publications, subject files and artifacts.
The photographs depict Honduran agriculture, livestock and livestock equipment, individuals, and groups. There are twelve black and white stills from the motion picture Country. The two reels of audiotape document speeches by Dan Turner and George Christopher at a National Farmers Organization convention (no date).
Family papers and records include legal documents, news clippings, press releases, and demographic research documenting Hansen's campaigns for State Regent and State Legislator. These files portray Hansen and his family and their involvement in events in and around their home town of Newman Grove, Nebraska.
Creative works of Hansen include: articles, editorials, essays, speeches, and testimony before the U.S. House and Senate. Also present are creative works of Homer Ayres and George Levin, two of Hansen's farm activist associates. These creative works lend insight into Hansen's thoughts and sociopolitical philosophies.
General correspondence files include correspondence to and from Hansen. This correspondence provides a look into the "behind the scenes" activities and relationships of many prominent pro-farm and farm protest leaders. Correspondence in files assigned specific proper names or subjects remain as originally labeled and organized by Hansen. Files arranged chronologically represent files arranged by repository staff.
Files about farmers' organizations and pro-farm protest groups document the activities of most major U.S. farmers' organizations and many important smaller Midwestern farm groups. These files include correspondence, internal communications, event ephemera, clippings, mail-outs, publications, and other printed material. The files remain as organized by Hansen and his family.
Publications and printed literature document the activities of a variety of organizations and their stance on farm issues of the day. In addition to the literature of pro-farm organizations, literature of non-farm organizations, right-wing organizations, and counter-right organizations are also included. Printed materials from right-wing groups show how these groups attempted to use farm issues and recruit disgruntled farmers to their own purposes. Similar materials from counter-right groups document those organizations' attempts to negate such efforts.
Hansen's political activities on a national level are documented by correspondence, news clippings, and materials associated with his work for the Rev. Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988. Hansen developed a close personal relationship with the Rev. Jackson and became his primary advisor on agricultural affairs.
The collection includes as a distinct sub-group the institutional records of the North American Farm Alliance. These documents and records came into Hansen's possession as a result of his serving this organization as its first President and include educational pamphlets, meeting minutes, committee materials, correspondence, reports, newsletters, publications and subject files.
These files remain as labeled and organized by Hansen and his family.
For a closely related collection, please see the North American Farm Alliance Records (MS 501). ISU Special Collections holdings also include the records of numerous other agricultural and farm organizations and associations.

A folding, telescopic style stand that is lightweight and takes up little room when folded. Unfolds to full height in seconds and copes equally well with my light road bike or my heavy mountain bike. Height adjustment of stand gives easy access to all parts of a bike, both sides without a problem, and overall is great value for money.
A lightweight work stand which strong and well balanced it is easy to erect and the jaws are very robust and adjust to fit any frame Because of the 'v' leg construction when a bike is clamped on it's very study and will not tip over,Great product for price.
I dont know how I've managed over the years without a workstand. I bought this after seeing it in the flesh after a friend bought one and I couldn't be more pleased with it. Very robust, infinitely adjustable and at a bargain price of £55 you can't go wrong.
Takes anything from road bikes to heavy ebike stable legs easy to set up folds away very compact. Great asset to my garage!

if I press button start, it make new polyline, and press button stop to stop it, but it's not work. the button stop not warking.

A: You are currently append all points at once, instead you should use a PolyLine array. Assuming that coordinates1 and coordinates2 are the LatLng[] type of arrays that is previously appended from KML file or some other source. You should write something like below;
int size=3 //determine the size of array.

Polyline[] polyLine;
polyLine = new Polyline[size];

int i =0;
while (i<size)
{
polyLine[i] = map.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
                            .clickable(true)
                            .add(coordinates1[i],coordinates1[i+1]));
i++;
}

A: List<LatLng> latLngList = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.size(); i++) {
            latLngList.add(i, new LatLng(arrayList.get(i).getLocation_lat(), arrayList.get(i).getLocation_lang()));
           }

 Polyline polyline = mMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
                .clickable(true)
                .addAll(latLngList)
                .width(2).color(Color.BLUE).geodesic(true));

A: List<LatLng> latLngList = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.size(); i++) {
            latLngList.add(i, new LatLng(arrayList.get(i).getLocation_lat(), arrayList.get(i).getLocation_lang()));
            }
 Polyline polyline = googleMaps.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
                .clickable(true)
                .addAll(latLngList)

Q: NodeJs caching with Redis I am new to NodeJs and Redis and would like to implement the caching feature proposed by Redis.
I am trying with the below query but I'm not sure how to go forward after a lot of google searches. The query is as per below :
module.exports = function(app) {

app.get('/api/data', function(req, res) {
 Subjects.find({}, {'_id': 0, 'school_state': 1, 'resource_type': 1, 'poverty_level': 1, 'date_posted': 1, 'total_donations': 1, 'funding_status': 1, 'grade_level': 1},
  function(err, subjectDetails) {
   if (err)
   res.send(err);
    res.json(subjectDetails);
  });
 });
 }

Can you please advise how to go forward?

A: Here is the solution from the above gist that was posted. API request passes a callback to getSubjects. getSubjects checks the redis cache prior to making a database call for the data.
var redis = require('redis')

var cache = redis.createClient()

var subjectQueryParams = {'_id': 0, 'school_state': 1, 'resource_type': 1, 'poverty_level': 1, 'date_posted': 1, 'total_donations': 1, 'funding_status': 1, 'grade_level': 1}

var getSubjects = function(done) {
     cache.get('subjects', function(err, data){
        if(err) return done(err)
     if(data)
       return done(null, JSON.parse(data))
     Subjects.find({}, subjectQueryParams, function(err, results) {
       if(err) return done(err)
       if(results) {
         cache.set('subjects', JSON.stringify(results))
       }
       done(null, results) // no results
    })
  })
}

app.get('/api/data', function(req, res) {
 getSubjects(function(err, data) {
   if (err) return res.send(err);
   res.json(data);
});

With async / await (assuming cache.get and Subjects.find return a promises)
const redis = require('redis')
const cache = redis.createClient()

const subjectQueryParams = {'_id': 0, 'school_state': 1, 'resource_type': 1, 'poverty_level': 1, 'date_posted': 1, 'total_donations': 1, 'funding_status': 1, 'grade_level': 1}

async function getSubjects() {
     const data = await cache.get('subjects')
     if(data)
       return JSON.parse(data)
     const results = await Subjects.find({}, subjectQueryParams)
     if(results) {
        cache.set('subjects', JSON.stringify(results))
     }
     return results
  })
}

app.get('/api/data', async function(req, res) {
   const data = await getSubjects()
   res.json(data)
})

Consultancy – Consultant, Talent Engagement Programme Developer BMS/OHR/UNDP
Additional Category : Management
(date when the selected candidate is expected to start) 01-Feb-2021
Duration of Initial Contract : 60 Working days during 4 months
Expected Duration of Assignment : 60 Working days during 4 months
UNDP is the UN Development Programme and works in more than 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. UNDP helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results. UNDP supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as they help shape global sustainable development.
In May 2019 UNDP launched its new people strategy called People for 2030. The vision of People for 2030 is to:
Build a "One UNDP" culture and employer brand that generates continuing fitness for the future characterized by high performance and employee engagement, creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement, attracting and retaining talent,
Ensure that managers at all levels are oriented towards, and capable of, leading and developing personnel, and managing performance effectively – and fully own their part of People for 2030,
Incorporate a talent perspective into all aspects of management and organisational development,
Develop organisational and digital capabilities that enable personnel to strive for excellence and adapt to future challenges,
Transform HR into a function that drives organisational effectiveness, capability and value generation in partnership with managers – in contrast to the cost-based and administrative focus of the past.
One of the key People for 2030 objectives is to enhance UNDP's capacity to attract, assess and select people with the right skills, knowledge, and attitude. In order to achieve this, UNDP is developing strategies to attract and select the best talent, including offering a seamless candidate experience and positioning the organization as an employer of choice.
An Employer Value Proposition has been developed with a clear and compelling statement for why people would come and work with UNDP and will be used as a platform for recruitment communication and marketing campaigns. A social media strategy aimed at engaging and attracting talent is being developed for roll-out in early 2021, and a new UNDP Careers website is being developed and will be launched in 2021.
Targeted outreach strategies are being developed to source candidates from under-represented groups (people with disabilities, nationalities, gender etc), professional groups, and passive candidates, leveraging digital platforms, social media and networks (professional, alumni, universities).
In light of the above work context and as part of the Employer Value Proposition communication and social media strategy and talent attraction strategy, UNDP will launch new outreach and network initiatives in 2021 as follows:
UNDP Brand Ambassador initiative, where identified UNDP employees will engage in sharing stories and other experiences/content on the social media to help promoting UNDP as an Employer of Choice.

Have you heard of the EHC crew? No? Well, after this video you're not going to forget about those three letters. Spray Daily released this dense 14 minute production which compiles this graffiti crew's vacation experiences in Barcelona. "Extreme Holidays" is the title, seeing as though it promotes a type of extreme tourism by squeezing out every drop of ludic potential that the Catalan capital has to offer. Subterranean missions all over the map, street bombing, "correfocs", the classic pool, The Subway Party… they didn't miss out on any of the must-do events for any visitor who wants to experience the most authentic side of Barcelona.
