🇸🇪 Christer Björkman rushed in the hospital after the contest ended
SWEDEN – The Eurovision veteran had to be taken urgently to the hospital in Tel Aviv – and must not leave Israel until he has undergone surgery. "Not as planned. But I am well taken care of and, fortunately, in time, "he writes on Instagram.
Christer Björkman, 61, was taken urgently to hospital in Tel Aviv after suffering a blood clot in his throat. Björkman, who has been in Israel for almost two months to work with the Eurovision song contest missed the competition's climax, the live final on Saturday night. Instead, he is now being nursed in hospital while waiting for surgery.
According to information provided to Nöjesbladet, the Swedish Melodifestival profile's condition was so serious that it could have become life-threatening, but he was taken to hospital and received care in time. His life is not in danger, but Björkman's condition should still be so serious that he is now forced to stay in Israel on doctor's orders. He cannot travel back to Sweden, but must be operated on site in Tel Aviv.
During Saturday night he was so keen that he could follow the Eurovision broadcast from the hospital bed and on site in Tel Aviv he had his husband, the musical artist Martin Kagemark, 44, by his side. In a post on his instagram, Björkman is shown with a laptop in the lap showing John Lundvik's appearance in the final:
"Not as planned. But I am well taken care of and, fortunately, in time! Congratulations to the Netherlands and thanks to John Lundvik for an exciting drama, "writes Christer Björkman.
He has been to Israel since the Melodifestivalen ended in March, to work with the Eurovision song contest. In recent years, Christer Björkman has shared the work as the Melodifestivalen producer with the prestige assignment for the Eurovision organizer EBU as a competition producer for the European finals.
In this role, Björkman has, among other things, responsibility for how the 41 contestants' contributions look on the stage and is also the one who determines the starting order in semi-finals and finals.
Not at all according to plan! But I am well taken care of – and luckily – in time! 🎉CONGRATS🎉 to the Netherlands and thank's to John Lundvik for a thrilling drama.

Economic evaluation of ribosomal immunotherapy in patients with chronic ear, nose and throat and respiratory tract infections: results for Italy.
Banz K, Thomas AM, Olivieri D. Economic evaluation of ribosomal immunotherapy in patients with chronic ear, nose and throat and respiratory tract infections: results for Italy. BioDrugs. 1998;10(5):385-96.
This study analyses the economic value of ribosomal immunotherapy in patients with chronic ear, nose and throat (ENT) infections and respiratory tract infections (RTI) as compared with patients not receiving prophylaxis. Specifically, the objective was to determine whether the incremental costs of ribosomal immunotherapy could be offset by healthcare savings through a reduction in recurrent episodes of acute infection.
The study was conducted from the payer perspective in the Italian healthcare setting. A 6-month time-frame was used in the decision analysis model, and costs reflect 1995 values. The model incorporated international clinical trial data and Italian resource use data for adult patients with chronic sinusitis and bronchitis and children with recurrent ENT infections.
The findings indicate that ribosomal immunotherapy is capable of generating net direct cost savings over 6 months ranging between 280 000 and 1 100 000 Italian lire (L) per patient (L1700 approximately $US1) depending on the type of chronic disease studied (otitis media or rhinopharyngitis in children, sinusitis or bronchitis in adults). Threshold incremental efficacy of immunoprophylaxis required to achieve cost equivalence compared with no prophylaxis ranged between 2 and 20%, depending on the indication and the magnitude of treatment cost associated with an acute infectious episode (low/best/high estimate) considered. In view of the incremental efficacy rates observed in clinical trials ranging between 40 and 65% for patients with ribosomal immunoprophylaxis, prevention of recurrent ENT infections and RTI appears to be an economically meaningful therapeutic strategy, even when assuming that efficacy rates achievable in real clinical practice may be lower than those reported in clinical trials.
On the basis of these findings for Italy, physicians should give increased attention to ribosomal immunoprophylaxis of chronic respiratory diseases in children and adults.

Southeast Sulawesi Province is part of Indonesia and it offers stunning vacation spots for travelers. For example, there is Tamborasi River, which resides in Wolo District. The name is derived from the village of which the river is located, Tamborasi Village. The river combines serene nature and flawless water, which becomes a perfect location for a relaxation and recreation. It is even possible to explore it using a wooden boat, as long as you approach the villagers appropriately. For many, it is better to hire a tour guide as he may help you to talk to the locals and get around the river in a safe manner.
The color of the river water is green and the current is not quite strong. The river is surrounded by shady bushes, trees, and walls. At noon, the sunray is reflected perfectly on the surface of the river and it emits stunning beauty. Another great feature of the river is the wooden boats and there are many of them, especially in the holidays. It is possible either to ride the boat alone or with the guide. The river is safe, so it won't be difficult to navigate the boat.
The thing is Tamborasi River has short size, which is 20 m in length and 15 meters in width. With this fact, Tamborasi becomes the 2nd shortest river in the world following Georgia's Reprua River. Despite this thing, the river is quite beautiful with its nature scenery. Not to mention the location is considered unique and it appears like a lake. In fact, some people often get confused whether it is a river or not and they come to the river to take some pictures. Thanks to those unique features.
The water comes from a fountain located in the nearby rocky hill. The color is green and it feels quite refreshing, which is similar to that of the lake. In terms of location, the river is located near to Tamborasi Beach (only a few meters of it). That means tourists are able to visit two different tourist spots at once. On top of that, the water feels different from each location. The beach offers warm water, while the river offers cold and fresh water. Thus, you can choose in which location you are going to swim.
Apart from the lush of nature and fresh water, Tamborasi River also holds an urban legend. According to the locals, those who are able to tie a knot to the trees' root located in the river bed would be blessed by a long lasting relationship. Still, it is only a legend. That means no one can prove it. Another interesting attraction is the golden monkeys. They are rarely seen, though. You are considered lucky if you encounter one while exploring the river.
As mentioned before, Tamborasi River is located in Wolo District and it is part of Tamborasi Village. For those who come from Kendari City, it takes about 5 hours and the distance is 227 km. It will be a faster trip if you use Poros Ranteangin-Kolaka Street. When it comes to the best transportation service, you can take either a taxi or rented car. These cost more than regular vehicles, though. For outsiders, an airplane is the most recommended choice and your destination is Haluoleo Airport in Kendari.


Like it or not, you spend a great deal of time washing your clothes, towels, bed sheets and other linens.
You owe it to yourself to have a practical and efficient workspace in your home to carry out these tasks. Maybe it's time for a laundry renovation?
While some people choose a laundromat to take care of their dirty laundry, this takes time, effort and money that could be better spent in life. Instead invest in a laundry renovation to save time and money in the long run.
While not the most glamorous of activities, a laundry makeover can make this daily (or weekly) activity more enjoyable.
Also modern domestic laundries can be hidden away with intelligent design and only called upon when required.
Half a century ago a household laundry required a large room in your home. A place where you could fit a multitude of devices for washing, drying, ironing and storing clothes and other garments.
While big laundries are still great to have in large family homes they are not essential these days. Fortunately for residents in small Sydney homes laundry options are now more accessible.
Washing machines are smaller and can even be combined with a dryer to reduce the space required for both appliances.
With clever design concepts a washing machine may be hidden behind sliding doors in a hallway with a small sink build next to it. You can even add a foldaway ironing board that pulls out from the wall.
Before you know it you have a fully functional laundry that can be hidden away out of sight from guests and visitors.
Top Loader or Front Loader to suit your Laundry Design.
Soak and scrub hard to remove stains before washing.
Indoor clothes drying options for when it's raining.
Dry clothes, towels and bed sheets fast without hang drying.
Remove wrinkles from clothing after washing and drying.
Perfect storage areas to organise your home and laundry.
Our expert design team will help you create the perfect laundry renovation plans suited to you and your home.
If space is not on your side we can create a custom layout to perfectly fit your appliances. In such cases we will need to know if you prefer a front or top loader washing machine and if you want a wall hanging dryer.
You may also choose to incorporate your laundry with an existing bathroom or even your kitchen. Of course you also want to make sure you have adequate space for storing ironing facilities, towels and bed linens.
For this reason sometimes it is more appropriate to remodel and renovate your homes bathrooms, laundry and kitchen at the same time. Our experienced designers will ensure a fluid and consistent approach is maintained throughout each of these areas of your home.
Once you are happy with our laundry renovation plans we will get to work. By only using superior quality materials in all our renovations we ensure they will serve you well, year after year. As always our quality of work is of utmost importance.
Have fun doing the laundry with an innovative laundry renovation designed for you and your home.

Pilgrimage, prayer, pain on Good Friday
A Palestinian man is symbolically strapped to a cross in re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ during a demonstration against the ongoing construction of the Israeli separation barrier in Al-Ma'sara village south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem on Friday.Fadi Tanas / AP
April 6, 2007, 11:28 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
Some in agony, others in ecstasy, Christians around the world marked Good Friday with prayer, processions and pleas for peace.
Thousands of pilgrims, some carrying large wooden crosses and others holding candles, wound their way through the narrow lanes of Jerusalem's Old City, retracing the route the Bible says Jesus took on the way to his crucifixion.
And in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI carried the cross at the beginning of the traditional Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum.
He described the procession as, "a journey into pain, solitude and cruelty, into evil and death."
"But it will also be a path trod in faith, hope and love, because the tomb which is the final stop on our way will not remain sealed for ever," the pope said of Easter Sunday, when Jesus is believed to have risen from the dead.
Benedict handed over the cross to Rome Cardinal Camillo Ruini, his vicar for Rome. Other faithful, including a young Congolese woman and a family from Rome, took turns carrying the cross for a few steps.
Half-million turn out in Mexico City
In Mexico City, meanwhile, more than 500,000 people turned out for the annual Passion play in the capital's working class Iztapalapa neighborhood. Thousands participated in the procession, many lugging heavy crosses through the streets.
Officials said it was the 164th year that the Passion play has been enacted in the neighborhood, although there are references to earlier performances in Mexico City going back to the 16th century.
In the Mexican silver-mining town of Taxco, hooded men belonging to a Catholic brotherhood slapped their backs bloody with nail-studded whips and dragged their shackled bare feet across rough cobblestone streets. Others carried thorny blackberry branches tied across their outstretched arms.
On Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa — or Way of Sorrows — visitors from the United States, India, South Korea, the Philippines, Russia and many other countries followed the traditional route of Christ's final walk, stopping at 14 stations, each marking an event that befell Jesus on the way to his death.
The final five stations are inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where tradition says Jesus was stripped, crucified and finally laid to rest before being resurrected on Easter Sunday.
Re-enacting Christ's last hours
In a re-enactment of those last hours, a Korean pilgrim played the role of Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns, dragging a cross and covered with fake blood. He was escorted by other pilgrims dressed as Roman legionnaires.
"The Lord moves us to come here," said Bob Payton of Orange County, Calif., playing the part of a Roman soldier in his third Good Friday visit.
Israeli police said "thousands" took part.
In the Philippines, seven penitents in the northern village of San Pedro Cutud were nailed to crosses in an annual rite that is frowned upon by religious leaders but has become a major spectator attraction. Dozens of half-naked men hit their bloodied backs with bamboo sticks in an atonement rite.
In his traditional Good Friday message, Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, head of the Roman Catholic Church in the Holy Land, appealed to politicians of all faiths to bring an end to the region's ongoing violence.
"What's happening now, in our Holy Land here, is believers in God killing each other in the name of God; Jews Muslims, Christians," he said. "We hope, we wish, for political leaders who will have the courage to go and find the right ways for peace."
Calendar convergence
The calendars of five major Christian faiths coincide with one another this year, something that happens only once every four years.
Clergymen of different Christian denominations, some dressed in colorful robes, filed early Friday into the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
The various groups, who have feuded in the past, put aside their rivalries and the ceremonies passed smoothly. At one point, Catholic and Greek Orthodox worshippers quietly held simultaneous prayers in different parts of the church.
In accordance with tradition, the church's doors were unlocked by a member of a Muslim family that has held the key for centuries.
Easter this year also falls during the weeklong Jewish festival of Passover, which brings thousands of Jews into the cramped Old City to worship at the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site.
'Faith ... can bring us together'
"Faith shouldn't necessarily divide us, but in fact can bring us together," said Catholic pilgrim Michael Murphy, a San Francisco native who lives in Paris.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said hundreds of police were deployed in and around the Old City to maintain order and protect all visitors.
Among the Easter pilgrims on Friday, some could be heard singing hymns in English, Latin and Hindi.
Slavko Stojic, an electrical engineer from Serbia, walked with three large crosses on his shoulders, which he wanted to have blessed before taking them back home.
The pilgrimage, Stojic said, transformed him.
"I'm now a full man," he said.

AUSTIN, Texas — One of the country's premier graduate awards, the Harry S. Truman Scholarship, has been awarded to Alyssa Ashcraft, a government and humanities junior at The University of Texas at Austin, who will use the award to pursue a dual degree in law and public policy.
As a 2019 Truman scholar, Ashcraft will receive $30,000 toward graduate school and the opportunity to participate in professional development programming to help prepare for a career in public service leadership.
Ashcraft was inspired to advocate for education equity by her upbringing in Nederland, Texas, as the daughter of two public school teachers. As a freshman, she founded the Campus Closet and obtained funding from the Office of the Dean of Students to provide professional clothing to low-income students. Now named UT Outpost, it has become a permanent campus resource and has expanded to include a food pantry to address food insecurity. UT Outpost has served more than 500 undergraduates so far.
Since its establishment in 1975, the award has become one of the most prestigious national scholarships in the United States.
Ashcraft was one of 62 Truman scholars named this year, selected from 840 candidates nominated by 346 colleges and universities, a record number of both applications and institutions. The 2019 recipients will be recognized in a ceremony at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri, on May 26.
During her time on campus, Ashcraft has also been the Academic Affairs chair of the Liberal Arts Council, a member of the Texas Orange Jackets, a Rapoport Service scholar and an Archer fellow, which currently has her working and studying in Washington, D.C.
Since the program was established by Congress as the nation's living memorial to President Harry S. Truman, 22 UT Austin students have been named Truman scholars.

Ronny Tong (resigned)
Nonpartisan
Elected Legislative Councillor
Alvin Yeung
The 2016 New Territories East by-election was held on 28 February 2016 after the incumbent Legislative Councillor Ronny Tong Ka-wah of New Territories East quit the Civic Party and resigned from the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (LegCo), effective on 1 October 2015.
The winning candidate in the by-election serves a term of only around five months, as the session of legislature ends in July 2016.[1] Though the term is short, the pan-democrats saw the seat as crucial, fearing that the pro-Beijing camp would modify the rules of procedure if they gained a majority of the geographical constituency seats to block pan-democrats' filibustering, as the seats in the geographical constituencies commanded by two camps were evenly 17-17 before the election.
Alvin Yeung Ngok-kiu of the pan-democracy camp held the seat for the Civic Party with 37 percent of the popular vote. Holden Chow Ho-ding of the Beijing-loyalist Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) came second, and Edward Leung Tin-kei of the localist Hong Kong Indigenous - who took a leading role in the 9 February Mong Kok civil unrest - came third.[2]
Edward Leung Tin-kei was involved in the Mong Kok civil unrest broke out on 8 January in which the Hong Kong Indigenous called for actions online to defend the unlicensed street hawkers from being cracked down by Food and Environmental Hygiene Department inspectors

On 22 June 2015, few days after the legislative vote on the 2015 Hong Kong electoral reform over the electoral method of the 2017 Chief Executive election, moderate democrat Ronny Tong Ka-wah, who had campaigned for his mid-way reform proposal, announced that he would quit the Civic party that he co-founded and would also resign from the Legislative Council as he said it was inappropriate for him to retain his seat in the legislature because he stood for election as a Civic Party member which was effective on 1 October 2015.[3]
After the resignation of Ronny Tong, the seats commanded by the pan-democrats and pro-Beijing camp in the geographical constituencies became 17-17. If the pro-Beijing camp had gained the majority of the seats, the pan-democrats feared that they would have modified the rules of procedure, which require a majority in both geographical and functional constituencies, in order to block filibustering, which had been used by pan-democrats as a tool against legislative bills by the Leung Chun-ying administration that they saw as unreasonable.

Beast from the east making its comeback, get ready for the whiteout
By George Rushworth on November 13th, 2018 / Views
Beast from the east 2.0, heading your way
The met office has confirmed snow is forecast to cover almost all of Britain in a heavy layer, sending temperatures plummeting. Cold weather is due to sweep in from Siberia and Scandinavia causing freezing temperatures giving us all the first tastes of what's set to be a long, icy winter.
A yellow weather warning has been put in place with it expecting to change to red for most of the UK as the horrifying weather creeps in. The met office uses three colors to warn us about extream weather, yellow, amber and red. The red warning meaning you should take action to keep safe. The Environmental Agency has also issued flood warnings for the south west of England and Northern Ireland, as heavy rainfall is expected on Wednesday and Thursday.
The snow is expected to hit the UK from Sunday into early next week, making the record-breaking hot summer seem like a distant memory. Temperatures in some places are set to drop by 17 degrees making the UK feel more like Moscow. Meteorologists are claiming this winter will be the coldest the UK has seen for years, long-range weather predictors have shown there will be a number of widespread snow events this winter.
The best things you can do to prepare for the cold weather are to stay indoors and keep warm, prepare for power cuts, keep up to date with weather information and keep a check on others in your community especially the very young and elderly.

One of the less palatable consequences of deflation is of course the reality that what goes up can also come down, that systems where wages and pensions are effectively indexed to prices mean, that when prices come down, wages and pensions come down too. Of course, what is less well studied is how such reductions will be received and understood by those on the receiving end. Among other important consequences of today's decision to reduce indexed pensions in Japan must be the implictation that, in the eyes of many with responsibility for decision making in Japan, deflation is now settling in for the long haul.
Japan's retired population will for the first time suffer the consequences of deflation when the government cuts the monthly pension by 0.9 per cent in line with the falling consumer price index. Until now, retired people in Japan have been largely shielded from the effects of deflation, since a political decision to decouple their benefits from the CPI when prices began to fall three years ago. Most retired people, few of whom are exposed directly to the stock market, have benefited from deflation, which has boosted their real spending power. The government's decision to make pensioners share some of the burden amid a stagnating economy and sharply worsening demographics is highly symbolic. It could well presage aggressive moves to renege substantially on promised pension benefits, analysts said.
On Friday, the cabinet re-established the link between prices and pensions, which were first indexed in 1973. As a result, the state pension for an average head of household will be cut by �2,140 ($18, �17, �11) to �235,980 a month. The move could change the psychology of deflation, Jeffrey Young, senior economist at Nikko Salomon Smith Barney, said. "The relinking of benefit back to the CPI may start to convince seniors that deflation is not the greatest thing in the world," he said. "This is the first time that, in a very direct and visible fashion, they can see: 'Oh, falling prices means my income is going to be cut as well'." Explaining the change of policy, a government official said it was necessary to prevent the deterioration of the social security system's finances. The system fell into deficit for the first time last year, a situation that will get significantly worse. The labour force is shrinking by 0.6 per cent each year as baby boomers retire, reducing the size of total premiums and raising the amount that must be paid out in pensions.


OLYMPIA — Former state Rep. Ross Hunter remembers tough calls he had to make as a House budget writer to balance Washington's books in the wake of the Great Recession.
Now, Hunter is secretary of the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families — and he's on the other end, asking for a big funding boost.
Washington has struggled to pay for group homes for high-needs foster youth who typically have "complex behavioral health challenges that require 24-hour care not feasible in individual foster homes" according to a department statement.
The state doesn't pay enough to cover costs of such care, partly due to cuts during the recession, according to Hunter and others. More recently, the state's rising minimum wage has made it more expensive to staff those facilities.
A report by Disability Rights Washington last October presented some alarming consequences of the shortage of beds here: The state had sent about 80 foster youth to facilities as far away as New Jersey and South Carolina, and at one location, according to the organization's report, kids sent to Clarinda Academy in Iowa were physically abused, and mostly segregated from the world outside.
Meanwhile, other foster kids wind up staying in hotel rooms because of a lack of beds.
As state lawmakers write a new two-year state budget, they're considering requests to boost funding for group homes to keep foster youth in state and in more stable situations.
In an interview, which has been edited and condensed for space, Hunter discusses the problems — and the cost — of a solution.
Q: When did you first hear of the abuse allegations at the Clarinda Academy detailed in the Disability Rights Washington report — and what was your reaction?
A: I got a draft copy of that report in August. I froze admissions to that program. We removed all of the children except for one, who begged to stay because he was turning 18 in January and didn't want the disruption. He was comfortable with the system and he had a plan and I agreed. I thought that was the right call.
I sent all of my senior staff, all the people who report directly to me, went out with a caseworker and we visited every single out-of-state facility. Because I wanted to visit every single child who was in an out-of-state placement, because our model did not have us visiting them. We can't really do social work out-of-state.
We contract with a caseworker who's in the state where the facility is, to visit the kid at least monthly. And my people are now going out and visiting every child quarterly and we are having regular phone calls with the child, where they are in a private room where the staff at the facility can't hear them.
At the time we had 82 children out of state, we are now down to 55, as of last week.
So we're working on bringing them home. But in order to bring them home, I have to have capacity for them. I have no place to put them. I don't have any beds today. This is causing this system to be dysfunctional.
Q: The Legislature commissioned a study, which was conducted by an independent firm, to examine how the state pays foster-care providers that operate these homes. What did it find?
A: They found that they needed an enormous increase. It's $50 million over two years [roughly 46 percent more than the current annual amount], big rate increases. But that is just enough to get them to be solvent, to get them to break even. What we've found is we've lost a lot of beds in that system, because they're losing money on each bed. Now these are nonprofit providers, but they can't run the service and lose money at the same time.
Q: What does increased state rate pay for?
A: It pays for a staffing level of one adult for every three youth. It has a counselor always in contact with those young people. When you think about the K-12 [school] system as being expensive, there's one teacher for every 25 or 30 children. Here it's 1-to-3. And it's 24/7. So, it's three shifts around the clock. I think we do 1-to-8 at night when they're sleeping. And it's weekends. These are children that have very challenging issues.
Q: Without those beds, what's happening with these high-needs foster kids right now?
A: What happens is, we have the kid in a hotel with two caseworkers and a security guard, which is more expensive. We'll send the kid to an out-of-state placement … We'll put the kid in a foster home and they can't manage the behavior. We'll be desperate, we'll put the kid somewhere, but they'll blow out of that placement in a week. This is how kids get placement after placement after placement, which is incredibly traumatic and damaging to the child.
Q: Lawmakers are expected to release their budget proposals this coming week — do you think they'll fund the extra $50 million?
A: I don't know what they're going to do. We're certainly working with them closely. And we're certainly hopeful that they recognize the severity of the problem.


Not only is it a reminder to stay humble, but it reminds us how to get back to the heart of humility. Through constant prayer and submission, we can trust God to steer our hearts back in the way we should go. As you wear this shirt in public, this message can remind fellow believers to live out their faith with humility and prayer.

10 Science Fiction Works That Inspired Real-Life Inventions
Geeks appreciate
science fiction because it allows them to fulfill their dorky desire
to, for instance, travel through space vicariously through their
favorite Star Trek fleet commander or make friends with robots that
they can program to be as socially awkward as they are. But the rest
of us non-nerds owe science fiction a lot of gratitude – however
grudgingly – because without this genre, the world would have far
fewer cool inventions. Initially, the types of technology that exist
in science fiction might sound unrealistic, and then at some point
human civilization reaches a stage where it actually becomes
possible. Check out this list of 10 works of science fiction that
inspired real inventions.
1. Rossum's
Universal Robots by Karel Čapek
Predictions about
robot butlers and maids haven't come to fruition quite yet, but
there's no question that AI technology is becoming more advanced by
the day, and that we have become heavily dependent on industrial
automation. But back in 1920, Karel Čapek wrote a play about
blissfully ignorant human-like robots who proceed to rebel against
and overthrow the human race. His ideas were utterly remarkable and
far ahead of its time, especially when you consider that the spoon
was pretty as high-tech as things got in those days.
2. Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vernes
Vernes' classic
1870 novel about underwater sea explorers who traveled more leagues
than you could possibly imagine captured the imagination of American
inventor Simon Lake, who couldn't have been born with a more ironic
last name. The story inspired him to invent the first submarine in
1898, dubbed the Argonaut. For his efforts, Vernes even sent
him a congratulatory letter. Jealous?
3. War
of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
Stories about aliens
invading Earth and being greeted with a punch to the face courtesy of
Will Smith is something we all take for granted now, but in 1897 when
Wells published his book about Martians attempting to conquer Earth,
it's not a scenario that had ever been conceived before. Clearly
aiming to have humans be the aliens that invade rather than the
victims of said invasion, American scientist Robert H. Goddard was
inspired to invent the liquid fueled rocket. Rest of the Universe,
consider yourselves warned.
4. The
Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith
The Lensman novels,
published in the 1930s and 40s, chronicled the space adventures of
the Galactic Patrol, which featured a ship known as Directrix that
served as the command center for the fleet. A U.S. navy officer
thought it sounded like a pretty nifty idea and as a result
implemented the concept of placing command centers aboard warships in
5. Waldo
by Robert Heinlein
This 1942 short
story was about Waldo Farthingwaite-Jones, a man with a brilliant
mind but who was so physically weak that he wasn't even able to
lift a spoon. This led him to develop a device consisting of a glove
and harness which allowed him to control a powerful mechanic hand
with a mere movement of his fingers. With the wealth he acquired from
his invention, he built a home in space because, duh, what else was
he going to do with all that money? This story led to the creation of
those remotely operated mechanical hands that are used in nuclear
power plants today.
World Set Free by H.G. Wells
This disturbing 1914
work of science fiction was certain prophetic. In this story, humans
have developed the ability to harness atomic power, resulting in a
weapon that was potentially far more destructive than the world had
ever seen. It's been said that Leo Szilard, a physicist whose last
name is impossible to pronounce so don't even try, was inspired to
conceive the nuclear chain reaction, leading to the atomic bomb that
leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and thereby proving that if human
civilization wants to destroy itself, all it takes is a few launch
codes.
7. Tom
Swift and His Electric Rifle by Edward Stratemeyer
Fans of "People
getting tasered" YouTube complication videos have author Edward
Stratemeyer to thank. The electric rifle featured in his young adult
Tom Swift novel lead NASA scientist Jack Cover to invent the TASER,
which is an acronym for – you guessed it – Thomas A. Swift's
Electric Rifle.
8. Robur
the Conqueror by Jules Vernes
Vernes wasn't just
inspiring his fans to make his underwater exploration vessels a
reality, his stories lead to breakthroughs in aviation. Robur the
Conqueror – published in 1886 when the idea of flight was still
seen as unachievable – was about an airship called the Albatross.
Igor Sikorsky, who enjoyed reading this book as a boy, would
eventually become the father of the helicopter.
9. Snow
Crash by Neal Stephenson
When Stephenson wrote a fiction novel about a vast online virtual world back in 1992, nobody had any clue that in just a few short years, the technology would exist to make such a game possible. Philip Rosedale, who would go on to create the once-popular Second Life, has stated that Stephenson's vivid description of what a virtual world could look like served as his inspiration.
10. The original Star Trek TV series
Cellphones were nowhere close to being a thing in the 1960s when Mr. Spoke used a handheld device to communicate remotely with the starship crew, but Martin Cooper of Motorola has credited the show with providing him with inspiration when he designed the first mobile phone in the 1970s.

Buffalo Clover. Lupine. Wolf flower. El conejo.
Along with the Lone Star, the Alamo, and the Gonzales cannon, the bluebonnet stands as a symbol of the beauty and wild spirit of Texas. On March 7, 1901, the 27th Texas Legislature adopted the bluebonnet as the state's official flower, and families have been posing for photos in patches of them ever since.
It's difficult to imagine any other flower representing what we love most about our state, but it almost happened.
In Legends & Lore of Texas Wildflowers, Elizabeth Silverthorne of Salado writes that the bluebonnet faced stiff competition from the open cotton boll and the blossom of the prickly pear cactus.
"In 1901 when a resolution proposed by the Colonial Dames of Texas to adopt the bluebonnet as the state flower was introduced in the Texas House of Representatives, a business leader suggested that the open cotton boll, "the white flower of commerce," be adopted instead. Jack Garner, future vice president of the United States, rose to support with glowing praise the prickly pear, a prominent inhabitant of the area near his Uvalde home. The Dames marshaled their forces to lobby the representatives, and as a visual aid they brought into the House a bluebonnet picture painted by Miss Mode Walker of Austin. The opposition, including "Cactus Jack", was overwhelmed, and the bluebonnet won the day."
However, Silverthorne points out, the matter still wasn't settled. The bluebonnet named in the resolution was Lupinus subcarnosus, which, while pretty, wasn't considered by many to be the most attractive of the six known species in the state. So, in 1971, lawmakers passed a new resolution that added Lupinus texensis (the now-iconic Texas Bluebonnet), as well as "any other variety of Bluebonnet not heretofore recorded."
So, technically, Texas has six state flowers.
In her book, Silverthorne presents some fantastic legends about the origin of bluebonnets, but my favorite has to be the idea that Native Americans gone to the Happy Hunting Grounds fought in a titanic battle, shaking loose pieces of the sky that fell to the earth and blossomed.
Legends & Lore of Texas Wildflowers is a wonderful read. I found my copy on the local author shelf at Belton's McWha Book Store about two years ago. The book, along with more of Silverthorne's work, is also available online.

Beginning at the northwest corner of section 2, in township 65, range 32; thence running east six miles, to the northeast corner of section 2, township 65, range 31; thence south six miles to the southeast corner of section 24, township 65, range 31; thence west six miles, to the southwest corner of section 35. township 65, range 32; thence north six miles. to the place of beginning, containing thirty-six square miles.
About one-third of Allen Township is timber land. The prairies generally are high and rolling, with numerous fertile valleys bordering the water courses. The township is well watered. The streams, in fact, are so admirably distributed that every portion of the township is supplied with living water. The East Fork of Grand River, with its tributaries. passes through the western part of the township. Big Rock Creek flows through the central part, in a southwesterly direction, finally uniting with the East Fork of the Grand. Little Rock enters the northeastern part of the township, meanders towards the southwest, and empties into the East Fork of the Grand, while Little Muddy rolls its turbid waters across the southeastern corner of the same, thus carrying moisture and fructification from the center to the entire circumference.
Fletchall Township was named in honor of john Fletchall, who settled in Fletchall's Grove, in I846, and is bounded as follows: Beginning at the northwest corner of section 31, township 67, range 31, and running east six miles; thence south about six and three-fourths of a mile, thence west six miles, thence north six and three fourths ofa mile to the place of beginning.
The township contains about one-third timber. The prairie is generally uneven in surface, the land in the vicinity of Grant City, being characterized by high swelling ridges and low depressions, but exceedingly fertile.
The township has an abundance of water, which flows convenient to almost every quarter section. Prominent, among the streams which meander in various directions, are the Middle Fork of Grand River, with its affluents, and Marlow Branch, which is formed by the union of its two branches, near the southwestern corner of the township.
Beginning at the northwest corner of section l, township 65, range 33; thence running east seven miles, to the northeast corner of section 3, township 65, range 32; thence south six miles to the southeast corner of section 34, township 65, range 32; thence west seven miles, to the southwest corner of section 34, township 65. range 33; thence north six miles, to the place of beginning.
About one-fourth of Greene Township is timber, consisting of the usual variety indigenous to this climate. The land away from the streams is generally quite rolling, but exceedingly productive. The West Fork of Grand River flows centrally and southwest through the township; its affluents water the western part of the township, and Bear Creek flows through the northeast.
As an agricultural district, Greene Township is not, perhaps, excelled by any other in the county. It is the home of a number of large farmers and stock raisers, and is settled up with a thrifty class of citizens.
Beginning at the northwest corner of section 2, range 31, township 63; thence running east six miles; thence south six miles; thence west six miles; thence north six miles, to the place of beginning.
About one-third of the township is timber. Some fine valleys. The prairie land is high and rolling, but well adapted to agricultural purposes. The surface of the township is admirably veined with water courses, among which are the Middle Fork of Grand River (after which the township was called), Marlow Branch, and Bear Creek. Bear Creek is in the west part of the township, while Marlow Branch, the Middle Fork of Grand River, and the tributaries of the East Fork of Grand River pass through the center and eastern portions.
Beginning at the northwest corner of section 31, township 67, range 30, thence running east six miles to the northeast corner of section 36, township 67, range 30; thence running south seven miles to the southeast corner of section 36, township 66, range 30; thence west six miles to the southwest corner of section 31, township 66, range 30; thence north seven miles to the place of beginning.
One-third of the township is timber, consisting of oak, hickory, elm, cottonwood, ash and other varieties. Much of the prairie is high and rolling. The country, however, surrounding Allendale is more level and stretches out into a broader and more gently undulating surface.
The township is permeated by a number of streams, among which are the East Fork of Grand River, which enters the township near the northeast corner and passes out near the southwest corner; Lot's Creek, which enters the township on the east and near the center, and Big Rock Creek, which flows through the extreme southeast corner.
Rock for building purposes is found along the banks of the East Fork of Grand River, and is seen cropping out elsewhere in the township.
Beginning at the northwest corner of section 34, township 67, range 33, and running east nine miles; thence south six and three-quarter miles; thence west nine miles; thence north six and three-quarter miles, to the place of beginning.
About one-third of Union Township consists of timber land, which borders the water courses. The timber is generally of a good quality, and grows about as rapidly as it is cut down and utilized. A large portion of the prairie is high and rolling. There is, however, much magnificent bottom land lying upon each side of Platte River and the West Fork of Grand River, both of which flow through the township. The East Fork of Grand River, entering the township at the northeast corner, flows in a southwest direction until it reaches section 16, township 66, range 32, thence flowing almost due south. Platte River enters the township on the north about the center, flowing in a southwesterly direction for a distance of about three miles, when it flows due south. The two streams above named, with their tributaries, furnish an inexhaustible supply of good water.
The soil of this township is everywhere rich and productive. No quarries of stone and no coal have as yet been discovered in the township.

Amazon Fires seen from space. Credit: NASA Worldview.
More than 26,000 fires ravaged Brazil's rainforest during the month of August – the highest number of fires since 2010. Satellite images of the fires caught the attention of news outlets around the world, with the story garnering headlines for many days.
There are annual burns in Brazil during the dry season. While some may be accidental, the vast majority are caused deliberately in order to clear land for farming – mainly cattle grazing and soy, palm oil and timber production.
The Amazon rainforest generates more than 20% of the world's oxygen and is home to 10% of the world's known biodiversity. The region is referred to as the "lungs of the planet" and plays a major role in regulating the world's climate. The Amazon basin covers 7 million square miles and covers the territory of 9 countries – 60% is located in Brazil where president Jair Bolsonaro has vowed to open the region up for development.
To date 17% of the Amazon rainforest has already been destroyed, with forests being cut down at the rate of one football field every minute. 91% of land deforested since 1970 has been used for livestock pasture. Brazil is the world's largest beef producer and exporter. It is also the world's second largest producer of soybeans, with 25 million hectares devoted to this crop, 90% of which is exported worldwide as animal feed for cattle, pigs and chickens. Less than 1% of agricultural land is used for palm oil.
Environmentalists are concerned about loss of biodiversity that will result from destruction of the forest, and also about the release of the carbon contained within the vegetation, which could accelerate global warming.
The rainforest is also home to many indigenous people who are being pushed off their land to make room for large soy and beef operations. You can read more about soy in our article here.
The EU–Mercosur Free Trade Agreement has been denounced by environmental activists and indigenous rights campaigners because they fear the deal could lead to more deforestation of the Amazon rainforest as it expands markets for Brazilian beef. Finland's Ministry of Finance has urged the European Union to consider banning the import of Brazilian beef in view of the recent fires.
The G7 countries at their meeting at the end of August agreed on a $20 million aid package to help Brazil and its neighbours fight the fires. Brazil rejected the offer, telling Emmanuel Macron to take care of "his home and his colonies". Richard George, head of forests for Greenpeace UK, said: "The offer of $20m is chump change, especially as the crisis in the Amazon is directly linked to overconsumption of meat and dairy in the UK and other G7 countries".
Brazil and Indonesia spent over 100 times more in subsidies to industries that cause deforestation than they received in international conservation aid to prevent it, according to a report by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI). The two countries handed out over $40bn (£27bn) in subsidies to the beef, soy, palm oil, timber, and biofuels sectors between 2009 and 2012 – 126 times more than the $346m they received to preserve their rainforests from the United Nations' (UN) REDD+ scheme, mostly from Norway and Germany. In comparison the €20 million offered by the EU is just a bad joke.
What is the solution?
Going vegan is the single most powerful action you can take. It will eliminate your demand for beef and for other animal products like pork and chicken that depend on soy imports from Brazil. While the vegan diet does consist of many products that are soy-based, it is worth noting that 85-90% of the soy grown on the planet is fed to animals. The remainder is used as an ingredient in common everyday foods. You can read more about soy production here.
You can also donate to the following charities which are fighting deforestation in the Amazon:
(1) The Amazon Forest Fund was set up by Hollywood actor Leonardo diCaprio. The charity recently announced a $5 million pledge to help reduce the number of fires in the Amazon.
(2) Rainforest Trust was founded in 1988 and buys land to save it from deforestation and development and to preserve habitat. Its previous campaigns have included raising $100,000 to buy 1,992 acres of rainforest to help protect the Southern Woolly Spider Monkey.
(3) Rainforest Alliance is a non-profit working with local communities as well as companies, and certifies businesses that engage in sustainable practices. In just two days this group raised $310,670 for five Brazilian organizations on the front lines of the fight to protect the Amazon and the human rights of the indigenous people who live there.
(4) Amazon Conservation says its focuses on preventing fires by partnering with local landowners to implement sustainable forestry practices. The charity says: "Continuous uncontrolled fires of this scale will bring the forest closer to an irreversible tipping point — a degree of deforestation at which the Amazon basin will no longer be able to generate its own rainfall and will become a fire-prone savanna. Some estimates place the level of deforestation needed to reach this tipping point at 20% to 25%. Current deforestation is at 17%"

Q: Gradle won't allow multiple includeBuild statements with the same endpoint name in their paths I'm trying to include modules from my own library in settings.gradle:
rootProject.name = "MyApp"
include ':app'

includeBuild '/usr/local/library/Android/Event/code'
includeBuild '/usr/local/library/Android/Location/code'
includeBuild '/usr/local/library/Android/Widget/code'

But gradle complains:

Included build /usr/local/library/Android/Event/code has build path :code which is the same as included build /usr/local/library/Android/Location/code

I'd really like to keep all Android/gradle related files in code for each library module, instead of one level up, e.g.:
/usr/local/library/Android/Event
... or one level down, e.g.:
/usr/local/library/Android/Event/code/event
Is there any way to achieve this? Perhaps by specifying a different build path or alias (or something to that effect) for each includeBuild directive?

The most jaw-dropping new art space in Chicago isn't a multimillion-dollar museum expansion designed by a five-star architect and funded by a major capital campaign.
That may be the international trend inaugurated in 1997 by Frank Gehry's Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, and which continues unabated on Saadiyat Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, where the Louvre is building a subsidiary by Jean Nouvel. Chicago's entries into the category include Renzo Piano's elegant but dull Modern Wing for the Art Institute and, most recently, the MCA's smart and hip renovation of its public spaces by Johnston and Marklee.
No, the venue that everyone and their mother should visit right away is the Roundhouse, a former horse stable in Washington Park that's been closed to the public for decades. It's hardly a barn, though. Built in 1880 by architect and planner Daniel Burnham, the 61,000-square-foot stone structure extends off a monumental central gallery crowned with pretty windows and a wooden starburst ceiling that rises atop impossibly narrow steel columns.
Until Oct. 29, the Roundhouse will be filled with "Singing Stones," an exhibition by a group of 11 artists and one collective from France and Chicago. Curated by Katell Jaffres of the Palais de Tokyo, the famed contemporary art center in Paris, there isn't too much to make of the French connection, other than bilingual wall texts, awkward translations and the notable fact that it works. "Singing Stones" offers an unpredictable variety of artworks, by a unique array of emerging artists, installed just so in an extraordinary space. If only most exhibitions could get that much right.
Highlights include Andrew Schachman's "Observatory," a plain wooden podium that visitors can ascend to get a good look around. From it, bask in the glory of Cauleen Smith's "The Right Time, Before and After," an ever-changing rainbow of light that streams through the rotunda's windows thanks to mismatched cinema filters. Follow Smith's prism as it casts its colors around the space, marking time and artworks as it passes.
Wind sensuously through Thomas Teurlai's "Scores for Bodies and Machines," a dense tangle of black-and-white paper scrolls hung from above. At its center sit three photocopiers, upon whose glass two dancers pressed their bodies during opening-day performances in order to generate the hundreds of facsimiles that make up the installation.
Pause to be baffled by Guillaume Leblon's five white curtains, hard wavy walls cast from resin that resemble giant sheets of lasagna and hover magically an inch above the concrete floor. Caught between their folds are sculptures of an orange, a child's torso, a slice of watermelon, a fish and other items that a surrealist might have encountered on an urban stroll.
Rest for a moment on Raphael Zarka's "Paving Space," a dozen angular solid oak shapes that intertwine in innumerable reconfigurations to form seats, nooks, benches and a bespoke skateboarding ramp. (A video shows skaters performing tricks atop the artwork in other venues.) Wish for a skateboard and some related skills.
Wander tentatively through Wilfrid Almendra's maze of mottled glass pavilions. Find among them a stack of ethereally concrete poems written by a Portuguese friend of the artist and a pair of rocks mysteriously connected to the building via copper wires. Wonder what's being transmitted. Be careful not to bump into the scrappy sculptures of Dorian Gaudin, all spindly metal, plastic plants and simple motors. Don't be too startled when they move.
Finally, circle around the Floating Museum's "Echo Location," a ring of steel shelves that displays a show within the show. It's all about reflection: a video by Florian Pugnaire and David Raffini bounces off plexiglass sheets that angle above horizontal monitors; 3-D printed copies of busts from the collection of the DuSable Museum of African American History begin with precision but progress through doubling and tripling; more traditional models of architectural elements of the Roundhouse enshrine the surroundings. The Floating Museum — a collective made up of Schachman, Avery R. Young, Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford and Faheem Majeed — proposes an idea of museums for today: adaptive, communal, open, temporary.
It's a bold gesture to make from inside "Singing Stones," which marks the first and for now the only public use that has been made of the Roundhouse since the Park District turned it into a storage facility in the 1930s. The DuSable, across the street, took over the lease of the building in the early aughts with plans for an ambitious expansion that has started and stopped and now, hopefully, started again. The space remains a grand and beautiful shell in need of millions of dollars of work.
That's money that visual arts museums seem constantly able to raise for their own shiny new building projects — from Chicago to Saadiyat Island — thanks in part to the vast prestige of contemporary art and the deep pockets and excellent connections of those individuals, corporations and governmental figures who wish to be associated with it.
Maybe the all-consuming force of gentrification that so often follows in art's wake can here be wielded for something better. Maybe some of the attention brought to the Roundhouse via "Singing Stones" — and its partnerships with Expo Chicago, the Architecture Biennial, the Institut Francais and the French Embassy — can be diverted from the pure pleasure of seeing good art in a great place to seeing that great place become the extended home of an institution that really needs it: the DuSable.
"Singing Stones" runs through Oct. 29 at the Roundhouse, 740 E. 56th Place, 773-947-0600, www.expochicago.com/programs/palais-de-tokyo-hors-les-murs.


Boundaries Part 2 - Why Do We Need Boundaries in Our Life?
As you consider setting a boundary in your life, you need to first have a reason or an understanding of why a boundary would be beneficial. To do this, we must understand how one relationship affects us and all other relationships in our life. As we invest in someone or something, such as a friend, a volunteer position, or our job, the energy and the time we spend takes from the resources that we have available.
Take a few minutes to map out your relationships. Draw a circle for yourself. If you are married or have children, draw circles that intersect yours. These represent the fundamental and most important relationships in your life. Now, around your central circles, draw a circle for every person in your life that you have invested emtional energy in. For each friend, relative, student, mentor, family member, etc, in your life that you invest emotional energy into, draw a circle. Once you are done, draw lines from every circle and connect them to yourself. Now, put a percentage of your energy that you routinely invest into each person, and write that number in each circle. For example, if 25% of all your energy goes into your children, write "25" in the circle for children. If 50% of your energy goes into your spouse, put "50" in that circle. Fill in all the circles with the percentage of your energy you invest into each one. We will refer back to this map in a bit.
How many times have you heard people say something similar to "give it 110%," or maybe even "give it 200%!" This is a myth that we must dispel, because believing in it will lead you to a state of exhaustion and burnout.
You have a limit! All people are finite human beings with limits. Each of us has only 100% to give each day, each week, in our life. While we may like to think "I can give 110%", just as a glass of water has a limit that it can be filled to, so do we as people have limits in what we can offer to others. Our 100% is unique to us and will be different from person to person based on our physical abilities, our emotional resources, and our cognitive understandings. If we are able to understand these limits, we will be a huge step ahead in developing a healthy environment and establishing healthy boundaries for our life and family.
Now here is a question for you: when you drew your map, did you total more than 100? If so, you should re-analyze your totals, because you can not give more than 100%. Secondly, how much did you reserve for yourself? Did you put everything into everyone else, and reserve nothing for yourself? How can we give to people, in a healthy way, when we sacrifice everything? For example, some parents believe in the idea of "100% self sacrifice". They would put 100 into the circle with their children. For people that do this, how much is left over for their spouse? Their family? Their friends? Themselves? The answer is zero. As you can see, this is clearly an unhealthy way to parent. Unless we leave some resources for ourselves, we have nothing to model, we are left drained, and exhausted.
Imagine that you have allocated, in a healthy way, all of your energy to your relationships so that everyone is healthy and growing. Imagine one little circle, say an in-law, is currently getting 5% of your total. Now imagine this in-law, who is getting 5%, starts demanding more. "More, more, more!" they demand as they insert and assert themselves into your marriage, and life. Feeling guilty, you allow this in-law to get more and more from you....the 5 percent grows to 10, then grows to 20 percent. My question to you is: if you start giving one relationship more of your resources, where are those resources coming from? Remember, 100% is our maximum limit, so unless you have deliberately reserved some of your energy, the only place it can come from is another relationship. As one relationship demands more from us, we have to take away from other relationships, and in the end everyone can suffer. In order to give that in-law 20% of us, we have to reduce what we give to our spouse, children, friends, and family- we have to take from them in order to accomodate the deamnding in-law. So in the end, all of your relationships can suffer simply from one bad apple whom you have not set boundaries with.
Another aspect to consider in recognizing we have limits is to look at the long term implications of trying to give more than 100%. When we extend ourselves and try to meet the needs and demands of those around us, we start to develop a sense of fatigue. As our body lets us know it is tired and we ignore it we move towards a chronic state of fatigue, burnout. This feeling of burnout, where we are not able to finish a task, always feeling tired, sense of living in a fog, or of running in circles and not moving forward in life leaves us with a lessened sense of enjoyment, fulfillment, and accomplishment in our life. These feelings can lead to sadness and depression.
Even at this stage we can recognize and begin to make changes by placing limits people that utilize our emotional resources. However, if we choose to continue to push through this sense of exhaustion, refusing to say "no" to people and instead just keep giving and giving, other relationships in our lives will suffer, and we face the possibility of further complications to our health. Stress and anxiety from the attempts to fulfill the needs and demands of others leaves us in a chronic state of burnout. Common ailments from stress and anxiety include abdominal issues, headaches, and lowered immune response to name a few. In order to best manage stress and the demands on our life, we need to look at setting healthy boundaries.
Additionally, by setting healthy boundaries we also have an opportunity to have a better relationship with those around us. When we have healthy limits on what we can offer to others, or how much of our emotional resources and time we can give, we create a healthy environment where we feel energized and motivated by the friendship. This establishes an important balance in our relationships where there is a give and take of who we are and what we want to share and invest in each other.
If we are chronically over giving to someone, or filling an excessive amount of their needs, always saying "yes" rather than saying "no", we actually thwart and hurt the relationship, hindering the person from growing and developing on their own. Whether it is one person in our life, or if it is our own need to "be needed" and help out, by recognizing these aspects, we are able to identify where a healthy boundary will grow the relationship rather than limit it.
So, as you consider setting boundaries and wonder "why bother", consider your own personal health and the health of the relationships in your life as significant reasons to place parameters, to define, or to better identify your role in the world around you.
Next Week, we will delve into the task to creating boundaries. Now that we know what they are, and why we need them, we may ask the question "How do I set them?" We will explore the answer to this in the next article.

NATO chief attends EU Commission college meeting
NATO chief on Tuesday attended a college meeting of the European Commission to discuss matters pertaining to cybersecurity, climate change, and resilience.
Following the meeting, Jens Stoltenberg and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen held a news conference marking the first visit of a NATO secretary-general to a EU college meeting in the history.
"The European Commission, and NATO are good partners, but we could do more. We could be more strategic and we could prioritize better. So, it's about topics like cybersecurity and emerging technologies. It's about climate change and resilience," von der Leyen said at the news conference.
"Today, in college, we are adopting a strategy to enhance cybersecurity. We have a common interest to ensure that the hardware we rely on is safe. And we both want to fight disinformation that threatens our democracies," she added.
Stoltenberg, for his part said, NATO has seen "more frequent and more sophisticated cyberattacks" and "established cyber as a military domain, alongside air, land and sea."
On climate change, the both leaders emphasized the importance of the impacts of climate change in the area of defense and security.
"Global warming, climate change is a crisis multiplier, and NATO has to address the security consequences of climate change," said Stoltenberg.
"Resilience is another area where I strongly believe that we can work even more closely together. We need strong societies, strong and resilient infrastructure to make sure that we have strong defense," he added.
Von der Leyen said: "It's [resilience] also a key to mitigate possible threats such as those threats in hybrid warfare. So, there's a close link between the two organizations' potential to re-energize the partnership between the European Commission and NATO."
The NATO chief also said it is important to enhance transatlantic relations.
"We have a unique opportunity to strengthen, to re-energize the transatlantic bond. And I strongly believe that we need to work together. I don't believe in the US alone, I don't believe in Europe alone, I strongly believe in North America and Europe working together. Because we share the same values we need to stand together in a more unpredictable world," he said.

Artificial intelligence is transforming our society, powering innovations from self-driving cars to immunotherapy treatments for cancer. It's being embraced by business leaders in nearly every industry, and by universities who want their students to thrive, knowing that an understanding of AI will be crucial to careers in computer science and engineering.
With that in mind, the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is building its new Dwight and Dian Diercks Computational Science Hall which will house a uniquely powerful computing device based on the NVIDIA DGX-1 GPU. The project was made possible by a $34 million gift from alumnus Dwight Diercks, Executive Vice President of NVIDIA, and his wife Dian.
MSOE administrators intend to use the gift to propel the school to the forefront in AI, deep learning, cybersecurity, robotics, cloud computing and other next-generation technologies.
i2 Technology & Design, teaming with Uihlein/Wilson-Ramlow/Stein and SmithGroupJJR, is planning the data center in which the GPU-based supercomputer will be housed, together with the network, storage and ancillary equipment needed to support it.
NVIDIA has been a leader in the design and manufacturer of the graphics processing units, or GPUs, that power the video cards in computer workstations and gaming computers. The firm developed these devices to very rapidly manipulate the memory needed for high-speed, high-resolution 3D graphics—but they realized that their highly parallel structure makes them an ideal choice for processing large blocks of data. Thus NVIDIA has become the leader in developing GPUs intended not for graphics but for high-speed computing.
The DGX-1, released in November 2017, makes possible a new kind of supercomputer, built specifically for artificial intelligence applications. Each DGX-1 GPU provides 1 petaflop of processing power. At MSOE, up to 48 of these GPUs will be combined to reach remarkable speeds.
According to Tim Johnson, Principal and Senior Designer at i2, an important advantage of the DGX-1 design is that it can be housed in a data center similar to any other, with the GPUs taking the place of standard servers. "Of course our infrastructure will require a robust design and be exponentially faster to enhance the potential of the AI GPUs," he explains.
The four-story, 64,000 square-foot Diercks Hall will also include eight classrooms, 13 innovative teaching laboratories, a 250-seat auditorium, staff offices, and spaces to support companies who partner with MSOE.
In addition to the supercomputer data center, Johnson and his team will design all of the IT infrastructure and structured cabling for the building. Chris Stowers, Documentation Manager at i2, will work closely with the architect of record, UWRS, to add the team's designs to a 3D Revit model of the building. Brian Rener, Electrical Discipline Leader at SmithGroupJJR, will lead the electrical and mechanical design teams.
MSOE administrators expect the supercomputer to be of benefit not only to their students but to a range of organizations in their own research and product designs.
Groundbreaking took place on April 23, with the building to open in the fall of 2019.
