A Whole New World: Twisted Tales #1 by Liz Braswell
I love reimagined stories, and this new series of Twisted Tales is a new offering in that genre. Welcome to my review of A Whole New World by Liz Braswell.
I was intrigued by the premise: taking a well-known Disney film and retelling it with a switch. Starting with the Aladdin story, Braswell is flipping it so Jaffar is the star: he gets the genie, he becomes the Sultan.
The concept was unique. The world building was sufficient, if very reminiscent of the film. Action was almost never-ending, and it did manage to reference solidly to the movie. The writing tone is far darker, not a bad thing considering the story is Jaffar's, but the darkness often became overpowering, taking away from characters and the joy. It was a heavy read, if fast paced, with a mission centric theme, and everything feeds to that mission.
Characters were broad brushstrokes, not particularly detailed and never given a solid chance to develop as complete. Sadly, what looked to be unique in concept (and succeeded in some ways) failed horribly to create a story that was both intriguing and engaging. This read more like fan fiction, yet never quite taking on a life of its own that would allow it to stand as a solid title.
I'm left feeling disappointed and slightly misled by both the synopsis and cover – both beautiful and evocative with plenty of room for goodness within. Certainly not a title that inspires me to read more from this series.

Welcome to a new YA series that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. Each book asks the question: What if one key moment from a familiar Disney film was changed? This dark and daring version of Aladdin twists the original story with the question: What if Jafar was the first one to summon the Genie?
When Jafar steals the Genie's lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third and final wish.To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed Princess Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war.
What happens next? A Street Rat becomes a leader. A princess becomes a revolutionary. And readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again.

We are officially two weeks away from the Open.
Dave Castro has started his Instagram hints. Friday Night Lights events are in full-swing planning mode. And if you're at my gym, your lungs are burning from all the crazy conditioning we've been doing the past month.
As always though, I want to ask what the Open means at your Box, Affiliate. Is it just a five-week workout compilation your members will do to give you a baseline for your gym's programming? Or is it something more?
Personally, I think the Open is an incredible idea. For five weeks, thousands of people around the world will test their fitness skills against one another by doing the same five workouts. It's not every day I get to throwdown with an athlete in Russia and China. Heck, I hardly ever test my WODing abilities outside of Kentucky!
Even more than that, I think how Affiliates are utilizing the Open to build community is fascinating. Gyms around the world are going to host screenings on Thursdays. On Fridays, dozens of athletes will take on whatever madness was announced the night before, typically as other members cheer on. There's going to be a whole lot of PRing and some friendly trash talk.
So, how are you using the Open to build community? There's a plethora of ideas out there on how to go about utilizing the five-week competition in your gym. Whether it's running Open heats all weekend, hosting a party on Friday night, screening the workout on Thursday or creating a team-challenge around the competition, you can find a way to make the Open about building community.
Because that is one of the powers of your business: community. It's why your members come back. It's why your Coaches stay. It's why people rave about you to their coworkers and the other parents at the PTA meeting. Why wouldn't you stock that community with fuel and give it the chance to burn brightly?


Now this is what we call a fat burning drink! DMHA-powered (the strong version of it too), it feels absolutely fantastic, and worked even better! Why take capsules when you can enjoy a fat burning drink?!
Stimulates Fat Loss! Thermogenic Compound!
Outbreak Reclaim is the ultimate fat-stripping formula for post-apocalyptic survivors who don't want to get left behind. It was designed to harness multiple ingredients that contain thermogenic causing properties. Thermogenesis is the production of heat within the human body, which in turn consumes calories and stimulates fat loss. Simply put the better the thermogenic effect, the more calories that are used by the body.
While there are many weight loss products out there, these days very few can claim to focus on this most effective method of actual fat loss. This is what separates Reclaim from the pack.

Also we used to just play Sim City 2000 in economics class at high school and I thought it would be cool if the individuals in the city followed rules – something they talked about for the latest Sim City but didn't really do. So remember any model we build to explain this is sort of like that, just maybe less entertaining with a dearth of colourful sounds.

There is nothing I can control more directly than my own experience—and I strive to live a creative life. When it comes to my style, I'm an explorer. I love discovering new things, creating new combinations, and I tend to change my look often.
Life is always changing and I think my style reflects that. The Canali and Prada suits I wore five years ago were awesome at the time, but have now been replaced by new finds Varvatos and Hugo Boss. That said, there are some items in my closet that seem to accumulate, like button-up shirts (you can never have too many) and shoes (I might have too many). Even with the constant evolution of my personal style, there are still a few general rules I live by.
For me, establishing a look is all about balancing the right elements. I like clothes that are fitted, but not too tight, and light materials that give me some structure but are also flexible enough for layering. And lucky for me, I'm blessed with being exactly the right height and weight to perfectly fit into the industry-standard clothing designed for my size.
As for balancing things from a visual standpoint, I have fun mashing up different combos in my closet—there is an eclectic nature to men's fashion that I really dig. The key for me is picking pieces that establish a good color palette, create some contrast and just look cool. However, when people try too hard to make everything about their outfit look cool, it never works. I always try to pick a single statement piece and build my outfit around that.
As a creative business professional, I always want to be dressed appropriately for whatever event I'm attending, but I also want to stand out. To do that, I always dress one step above what I expect everyone else to wear. And following that rule, I have never once felt overdressed for any occasion. Plus, if I show up in something different, it makes me unique.
Also, shoes seem to dictate how formal an outfit is for me. If I'm dressed casual and want to take it up a notch, I'll grab my Armani loafers, and if I want to take my look down a notch, I go for everyday shoes like Common Projects or Nisolos.
I always want my look to be a unique expression; so I try to create that by continually exploring different trends. I'm inspired by brands that evolve with the times and do a lot of modern, creative and innovative things. I also subscribe to GQ and enjoy flipping through pages and finding things I didn't expect. Trends will always come and go, but that's the beauty of fashion—there is always something new to try.
Lately, I've been experimenting with men's accessories, specifically bracelets, and am finding many different styles and ways to wear them—figuring out exactly how to pull them off has been a fun challenge for me. Oh, and I'm really into glasses and enjoy trying out new frames, especially ones from Morgenthal Frederics.
I tend to spend money on the things that I love that I think reflect my style, and I value craftsmanship when it comes to design. I look for fine materials, precision construction and things that appear to be meticulously made. Varvatos does this cool contrast stitching on their t-shirts; King Baby does amazing metal etching; Shinola produces the highest possible quality. The point is, I don't just buy something I like, I notice the details and hold out for something I love—something unique.
Most of all, I dress for myself, not for other people. When I'm comfortable, I'm far more confident, and confidence is the best addition to any outfit.

From the Middle Ages to the 17th century there were sugar-cane refineries in the province of Mogador. Other local products was fish and cereals but Mogador exported also items coming from Africa with the caravan trade.
gold, slaves........for European cloth and Chinese tea.
Essaouira attracted pirates and the inhabitants of Diabet lived close to the sea and the bay and was used by the Sultan to fight the pirates.
For this task they were supplied with goods and military services.
Important Moroccan Jewish merchant families were recruited by the sultan to take charge of developing trade and relations in Mogador in relation to Europe.
The extraordinary and privileged Jewish tujjar elite controlled all of the major imports of Mogador and other Moroccan trade centers where their influence was gradually extended. These included sugar, tea, metals, gunpowder, and tobacco. The tujjar also managed such vital exports as wheat, hides, cereals, and wool, items which became government monopolies at the time.
The one exception was all artisan work connected to wood, directly linked to the vast forests around the town.
The tujjar declined in influence after the 1890s with the aggressive penetration of the European powers into the Sharifian Empire of Morocco. By the early part of the 20th century, and certainly following the formation of the French protectorate (1912), they disappeared from the scene. A new elite of Jewish entrepreneurs, recruited by the French, Spaniards, Italians, and British commercial houses replaced them, as did foreign merchants who settled in Mogador and other parts of the country, controlling commerce until Moroccan independence in 1956.

For some time I have struggled with the challenge of getting my network into my living room. Sure, I went wireless – a long time ago – but not everything can be connected. Here's the problem: I bought a Gateway Connected Music Player a few years ago intending to blare the music shared on my network drives. Then I realized I had concrete walls.
Well, it worked great in my office across the room from me, but I really wanted it where it was supposed to be – in my entertainment center connected to my stereo. Since the only connection options are HPNA and Ethernet, there are no wireless adapters available to connect. This was frustrating!
Finally, the DWL-810 Ethernet to Wireless Bridge was announced. Joy! Here's the basic idea: any device with a standard ethernet connection can be wireless in minutes. A small cube with an adjustable antenna connects to the device by an ethernet cable – and you are wireless!
This unit runs on the 802.11b standard, 11Mbps, 2.4GHz band. For most any device 11Mbps is more then enough bandwidth. This unit works with nearly any device, including Macintosh, Linux and others. So, I connected it to the music player, now in my entertainment center, with the supplies RJ-45 connection. Turned it on. Guess what, I've got an IP address!
Using resources from several different computers in the house the network connection remained solid and there was not "skipping" in the music. There was no lack of bandwidth from our testing. Also, any "radio" type device inside my entertainment center wiring nightmare is bound to be getting interference from all the electronic components, stereos, DVD and vhs players, converter box and television – but no problems at all!
Other applications for this device include any broadband-ready gaming system. The major game system manufacturers have each launched an on-line gaming center to enhance your playing pleasure. With a standard ethernet connection, you can now wirelessly connect your existing home network. No running cables or using dial-up — worry and wire free.
If you have advanced configuration needs, a web-based utility provides easy setup. Although most people would use as a client to an access point, ad-hoc operation is also an option.
Being able to connect literally any device with an RJ45 connection is very exciting. I can finally put Audrey in the bathroom and be online! There are more and more network-connected devices every day, so for those non-pc based products, use the DWL-810 to do the trick.
Need examples of how to use this product?
2. Connect any "network appliance" with broadband/ethernet adapter. Believe it or not, there are hundreds of thousands of network appliance users right now! (Don't know what a network appliance is?) A "Network Appliance" would be msnTV (formerly WebTV), Audrey, i-opener, Intel DotStation, MSN Companion, AOL Connected TouchPad, AudioTron (from TurtleBeach) and even the Compaq iPaq Music Center. These are all devices with a specific function and are generally connected through a dial-up connection or network connection. (Many devices without ethernet adapters offer USB support for an ethernet adapter.) Either using a USB Ethernet adapter or with any available ethernet port – connect to the DWL-810 for high-speed access to your network and the internet!
3. Connect any network-ready printer wirelessly! Have a printer without any local ethernet connection? No problem! Plug the DWL-810 directly into the ethernet port, and your printer is on the network!
4. Add a network cluster to a remote area in your office or home. If you have a workgroup of 2 or more computers that are not able to connect to your primary office network that are perhaps in the rear of the building or on another floor? Perhaps the two computers in your kids' playroom in the basement? Simply plug the DWL-810 into a standard switch (5, 8, 16 port and more are available), and then connect all the computers to the switch. With one wireless adapter you can connect multiple computers!
For individuals who are challenged in getting wiring to specific areas, have ethernet-only devices which need connected to the network, or like the "no-driver-required" feature, the D-Link DWL-810 Ethernet to Wireless Adapter is the choice for you!
This unit gets an EXCELLENT rating for functionality and ease-of-use. There is little you need to do but plug it in! The only "missing" feature from this unit is the 22Mbps chipset, which would be consistent with today's products.
Price on this item is often higher than $100 and out of stock at many vendors. Check sites like TigerDirect.com or PriceGrabber for pricing and availability.

Personal Shopper resists easy answers. As Olivier Assayas' follow-up to Clouds of Sils Maria, which entered its final chapter on a note of perplexing ambiguity, that's not necessarily a surprise. Sils Maria refused to explain the apparent disappearance of Kristen Stewart's character, while Personal Shopper sees Stewart struggle to understand her own existence. Playing Maureen, a medium who works part-time as a personal shopper for an internationally-renowned model (Nora von Waldstätten), she drifts through a film that refuses to take one shape – assuming, variously, the form of a ghost movie, a murder mystery, a psychological thriller, an art film – with a wispy, eroding sense of self.
The film's fundamental ambiguity is integral to its success (and almost makes it nigh impossible to intelligibly synopsise, so I won't even try). The questions asked within the narrative aren't necessarily relatable – unless you, too, have tried to make contact with the ghost of your dead twin brother or unravel who's sending you mysterious text messages (and whether they're dead or alive) – but they're driven by essential themes of identity and spirituality. Questions about who you are, who you should be, what happens after death … these don't have easy answers, and Assayas is more preoccupied with asking than answering.
When I first saw Personal Shopper – at the Sydney Film Festival earlier this year – I was preoccupied with trying to puzzle out the answers to the film's ambiguities. Rewatching the film at the Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival, I took a more meditative approach, allowing the film to wash over me. Each experience was equally satisfying, but the latter feels more attuned to Assayas' intentions. The film might be multifaceted, but it also feels specific to certain experiences: questions of identity (particularly in your mid-20s) and questions of faith.
The thematic focus on identity is enriched by Stewart's casting. That's in large part because of the performance she delivers, which amplifies her tendency to punctuate her dialogue with mumbling and fidgeting. It's an actorly performance that serves to accentuate her character's discomfort within her own skin, accumulating over the course of the film into the sense that she's 'playing herself' – and it's not a role she's happy to play.
"Do you want to be someone else?" her unknown texter asks.
This exchange encapsulates Personal Shopper's view of identity as something amorphous and uncertain. (Much like the wispy apparitions that loom around Stewart as she explores her dead brother's sprawling house.) In the 21st century developed world, it feels as though our coming of age rituals have been deferred later and later into life. We enter our mid-20s contemplating questions of gender identity and sexuality and politics and religion, with the barest understanding of who we are even as we apparently assume the mantle of adulthood.
These themes are clarified by Stewart's extratextual resonance. As Bella Swan in the Twilight franchise, the actress became an icon of teenage femininity for countless youngsters, an iconography complicated by her subsequent public image: an image of queerness, of challenges to traditional conceptions of femininity and celebrity. Moments in Personal Shopper – her eroticised experimentation with a high fashion wardrobe (a stark contrast to her otherwise normcore aesthetic), the exchange of "Are you a man or woman?"/"Does it matter?", the synchronicity between Maureen and her dead twin brother – operate as an indirect commentary on Stewart's fluid public persona.
It's becoming increasingly clear that Stewart is a new kind of movie star, and Personal Shopper is at once a response to and a furtherance of Stewart's image. She's able to convey the traditional image of Hollywood glamour – whether on the red carpet or as an object of affection in Café Society. But primarily, she represents something distinctly millennial, something queer, something not-so-easily defined, whether on-screen (in films like Certain Women or American Ultra) or off, dating women and sporting grungy fashion.
Such questions of self are intertwined with questions of spirituality within the film. There's a matter-of-factness to the way Personal Shopper's characters discuss spirits, but Assayas is disinterested in taking the same approach to the representation of said spirits. Ghosts are certainly real within the diegesis – they're seen on screen on more than one occasion – but their precise intentions and identity remains unclear throughout. That might frustrate mainstream audiences (assuming the films secures a mainstream release), but it's entirely consistent with the film's approach to questions without easy – or any – answers.

In Part 1, we introduced the concept of Digital Twins and the Quantum Digital Twin standard for buildings.
In Part 2, we dove into semantic labeling systems as they compare to ontology systems. A comprehensive, physics-based ontology is a baseline requirement for full autonomy in buildings.
In Part 3, we're going to get into practical real-world applications for Quantum Digital Twins, and finally answer the question of "why does all of this matter?" by explaining how PassiveLogic's Quantum Creator and Autonomy Studio software works, and some of the cool things you can do with those solutions.
First, it's worth answering "Why does Quantum matter to you"? Quantum addresses a number of challenges in industry and fills several gaps in today's workflow. Fundamentally, Quantum is the industry's first and only description language for autonomous systems. Not only that, Quantum provides a single unified language for industry — end-to-end. It enables manufacturers to define equipment at the factory, embedding profiles right into equipment. It enables the real-time control and operation of a system. And finally Quantum provides the industry's first high-level API for buildings, enabling plug-and-play services for analytics, analysis, energy monitoring, building management, maintenance and smart grid interactivity.
We also need to take one more dive into concepts that span building science and physics. We began with some conceptual ideas around how to make controls technology autonomous: the role of quanta (packets of information relayed within a system) and actors (the defined roles on each piece of equipment: to store, transport, etc). Next we explain how these concepts become real.
Quantum Digital Twins
Where we previously described the abstract underpinnings of the Quantum Standard, these ideas become tangible once we explore additional concepts: Quantum's behaviors, components, equipment and assemblies. In systems theory, one can think of these as the foundational building blocks of any complex system. An equipment digital twin defines a real world counterpart, like a valve. Equipment is made up of components. For instance, a valve is made of a valve body, an actuator, and a control interface. Behaviors define what components physically do, at the deepest layer. Behaviors are composed into compute graphs that act upon quanta, and they define the same meaning regardless of their context. For example, resistance —whether from a pipe, wire or duct — is a measurable behavior.
Finally, equipment can be composed into assemblies, just like an actuator can be coupled to a mechanical damper into a single assembly.

For the vast majority of people's day-to-day work, it's only necessary to understand equipment. To define a controllable system, all you need to do is compose equipment into a complete system. But, if you are an engineer, manufacturer, or researcher, you might take any one of those layers and edit the finer grain constituents.
Because physics is the universal language that describes the function and "purpose" of every element in the physical world, it forms the foundation of how we can describe anything. When used as a definitional standard, it allows for progressive disclosure, and for easy access and management by ordinary users.
Comparing Digital Twin Approaches
There are a few emerging technologies defining themselves as digital twins. Most of these are better defined as "CAD in the cloud." These cloud-based semantic tools enable the tagging or data mapping of CAD components, but they lack a true understanding of the fundamental physics or operational behavior of things. Quantum Standard, in contrast, meets this physics-based criterion.
We talked about semantic systems (knowing what a thing is called) and ontology systems (knowing what a thing is meant to do) in Part 2, so I won't go too far into it here, but perhaps a simple analogy will help.
Most of us are familiar with robots that vacuum our homes. Some of these are smarter than others, using a laser scanner to ensure that they don't bump blindly into objects around the house. That's a level of sophistication that we call protocol semantics. The robot is given a basic instruction, "move around the house without bumping into things," and is given a tool to do it.
You can program that robot with more sophisticated conceptual semantics by mounting a camera and giving labels to these obstacles: door, chair, couch. A conceptual semantic system offers another layer beyond protocol semantics, but it's not a Quantum digital twin. The robot still doesn't know what a chair is.
To give that robot an ontology, and something like a Quantum-digital-twin view of your home, you'd have to arm the robot with knowledge about what these obstacles are. A door is now a router. If it's open, the robot can move from one space to the next, and if it's closed it can't. A couch is a fixed obstacle, while a chair is an obstacle that moves — residing in one place on one encounter, but moving a few inches before the next encounter.
Knowing what "door" and "chair" do is the starting point for a Quantum digital twin view of your home, enabling something approaching autonomy.
In the building industry, many semantic-based systems that call themselves digital twins are really just robots who've been given a camera and some tagging. They encounter something they call "door," without knowledge of what a door is. Most building information models (BIMs) only get to the level of semantic definition: labels and tags might have been applied, but the system lacks knowledge of the meaning behind those tags and labels.
Quantum Creator (pre-Design)
The challenge facing Quantum digital twins and ontology standards is that these ideas are abstract pursuits even among scientists and engineers. The complexity itself is a hurdle to adoption. And that's a problem! If you need a room full of PhD's to understand digital twins, or to interface to semantic standards, how will it ever be possible to scale?
We take a two-phased approach to make Quantum digital twins accessible to a wide audience. The first phase is defining the digital twin itself, using a tool called Quantum Creator. This is the first software in any industry that enables simple graphical definition of a digital twinning in an accessible way. This enables equipment manufacturers, designers, and engineers to easily define the fundamental physical properties of assemblies and their components. In this pre-design phase you can create a Quantum digital twin of literally any device, by measuring its fundamental behaviors. And yet, a small number of components define almost all equipment in the world. Rearranging components allows easy definition of other equipment.
Left Image: Quantum digital twin of a building
If this work is done ahead of time, then you won't need an advanced degree to begin assembling your building's design. A non-expert can wield a drag and drop interface and a catalog of existing components — the physics of which are encapsulated in the model — to begin their design.
At PassiveLogic, we are about technology inclusion: how can we ensure that the coolest advancements are accessible to the largest numbers of people? We do it with a true Quantum digital twin creating tool that enables novices to do more while making experts more expert.
Autonomy Studio (Design, Build, Operate, Maintain)
Once a Quantum digital twin of each component and device is generated, we're in the design and build phase. This is where we have an opportunity to use the complexity of Quantum digital twins to make them viable for system controls.
Autonomy Studio is the first tool that allows a non-scientist to create a true, physics-based digital twin of a complex system like an office building. Beginners can pick up the Autonomy Studio tool easily, while experienced architects and engineers will find greater depth and faster workflow compared to conventional tools. Our motto is "draw, don't code": instead of manually programming control systems, users drag and drop in an intuitive interface to create designs of their building's floor plan and mechanical systems.
Users have the ability to fully define the parts of a building — from the envelope, floor plan, and mechanical systems, to the occupancy schedule, internal environment, and external weather patterns. That information is used to build a Quantum digital twin of the entire system and its components in a queryable format.
We call this generative design. From their drawings, users can automatically generate the needed controls and wiring layout for the building. A bill of materials is assembled, and project managers can get parts orders out the door right away instead of spending days in product requisition. Autonomy Studio acts as an electrical engineer, parts catalog, and blueprint for installers.
Because it generated its own wiring layout, Autonomy Studio knows exactly how everything is supposed to connect together. Installers get a real-time view of digital blueprints, which helps them turn virtual plans into physical implementations right at the point of install. If a wiring mistake is made, Autonomy Studio now knows immediately and can help technicians get it right.
Without the ontology protocol that the Quantum Standard enables, a building is correctly commissioned only once: the day of the install. After that, the manually programmed static sequences become irrelevant over time, as conditions and use cases change in and around a building.
Combining Quantum digital twins with a lightning fast simulation engine brings the necessary speed to model predictive control in a way that makes these techniques viable and scalable for ongoing use (and continuous commissioning). We have built an auto-differentiable AI control engine that simulates possible future scenarios millions of times per second — and then picks the most optimal controls sequences in real time to realize that future. When conditions change, the simulation runs again, re-optimizing the control sequences of the building while in operation without any manual tweaking and tuning.
Along with making the controls decisions for the building, Quantum digital twins can be leveraged to automate the process of maintenance and keep all systems running smoothly. With a physics-based understanding of the system, the goal shifts from emergency care to preventative maintenance. Deviations from expected behavior are detected much earlier because a whole-systems approach allows accurate inferences to be made even where sensors are not providing data. The end result is a fault detection system with wider coverage and earlier warnings — with automatic task delegation to facilities staff when repairs need to be done.
We are entering the next phase of interconnected autonomous systems. Quantum is an organizing intelligence for this growing complexity, offering facility managers an effective way to wrangle complexity across an entire building portfolio. In Autonomy Studio, professionals gain a portfolio-wide view of all their buildings, complete with automated projections of their most important chosen metrics. They can hop into a single building view as needed, and quickly pick up additional insights at a finer level of detail.
Larger organizations also need to translate complex building data within their enterprise systems and infrastructure. The Quantum Standard is exposed as an open API data layer that allows it to be integrated with in-house or third-party applications — meaning that ERP systems finally have a full data window into the whole enterprise and all its functions.
Partners to the Industry
PassiveLogic has developed Quantum Creator and Autonomy Studio to be a core toolset for building Quantum digital twins. This toolset is available to partners and industry players to extend the library of components, equipment, assemblies, and systems templates. The API for Quantum Standard is available to all to expand this toolkit to additional applications and use cases. When it comes to autonomous control, there are unlimited possibilities with Quantum.
We are partnering with third-party software and hardware companies who are interested in being part of the evolution of what's possible for autonomous systems. We solve the integration challenges of getting into buildings and extracting the right data, while expanding the number of applications available to customers through the Autonomy Studio marketplace.
At PassiveLogic, we believe a building's digital twin is as important as its roof or its walls — the building simply won't function as intended without it. And through Quantum Creator and Autonomy Studio, we can design and interact with true Quantum digital twins throughout a building's life span.
Creating next-generation Autonomous Buildings is a community effort! We are working with the most innovative and forward thinking people in the industry to usher in this reality. If you are interested in joining the revolution, please get in touch and build the future with us!

Jean Paul Richter School
P.S. 81Q Annex
The Annex is a two story brick masonry and wood frame building with a hipped roof and full basement. Due to water infiltration and brick deterioration, the NYC SCA proceeded with an extensive exterior masonry repair and flood elimination project. The extent of water damage, combined with the accumulation of coatings from years of repainting, made it necessary to replace a significant portion of the exterior brick. This provided an opportunity to restore the building to its original state, in a combination of brick repair and replacement. The details once hidden by paint and metal were uncovered and rejuvenated during the process.
This complete exterior renovation of a New York City public primary school annex preserves the character of the historic building and saves an example of Colonial Revival civic architecture in Queens County, New York. The Annex has been deemed eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic places by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

India is sending hydroxychloroquine to 55 coronavirus-hit countries
India is in the process of supplying anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine to 55 coronavirus-hit countries as grants as well as on commercial basis, official sources said on Thursday.
A number of countries including the US, Mauritius and Seychelles have already received the drug in the past few days while several others will get it by the weekend, they said.
Hydroxychloroquine has been identified by the US Food and Drug Administration as a possible treatment for the COVID-19 and it is being tested on more than 1,500 coronavirus patients in New York.
The demand for the drug has swelled rapidly in the last few days after India decided to lift a ban on its export.
In the neighbourhood, India is sending the drug to Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh Nepal, Maldives, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Myanmar, sources said.
It is not immediately known whether Pakistan sought to procure the drug.
India is also supplying hydroxychloroquine to Zambia, Dominican Republic, Madagascar, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali Congo, Egypt, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ecuador, Jamaica, Syria, Ukraine, Chad, Zimbabwe, France, Jordan, Kenya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Oman and Peru, the sources said.
They said it is being sent to the Philippines, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Urugway, Columbia, Algeria Bahamas, Mauritius and the United Kingdom.
The sources said the drug is being sent to several countries on a commercial basis while many others are getting it as India's grants.
In a recent telephonic conversation, US President Donald Trump requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow the sale of hydroxychloroquine tablets ordered by the US to treat the growing number of coronavirus patients in his country.
India lifted the ban on export of the drug last week, nearly two weeks after imposing a ban on its export.
The announcement on lifting of the ban came hours after Trump warned India of retaliatory action if the drug is not supplied to the US. Indian officials claimed that the ban was lifted before Trump's remarks.


The author of this personal experience has had an old car for many, many years. Over this time, there have been many occasions when the inextricable happened. For example, on one occasion, the car continued to run for hundreds of kilometres, even though the fuel tank was close to empty. Now, unfortunately, the old vehicle has finally been put to rest.
In this story, the author describes another of these events.
It was time for registration of my car, and I had to find a new mechanic as I had moved. I knew I had to get the brake pads replaced because at the previous inspection for registration I had been told that they would definitely have to be replaced to pass the next inspection. I had also had a safety check that revealed the same thing. I was a bit concerned, as I had experienced dishonest mechanics in the past and it had cost me a lot of money. This time I went thoughtless, as I knew that this was the way to make the best decisions. I chose the closest mechanic.
I had to book the vehicle in for inspection on the same day that a film about Shri Mataji was being shown in Newcastle. The job would take about an hour and a half. I was a little bit worried that I might not make it to the cinema on time. So I said to myself, "Not this thought," a few times, and the worries stopped. I settled down for the wait.
Only twenty minutes had passed when I saw my car appear from the workshop. I was sure that something major must have been wrong for it to re-appear so quickly. I waited for the bad news. The owner of the workshop called me over, and once again I could not believe my ears.
The owner smiled and told me that they were a family business and would never be dishonest. She asked if I wanted the inspection report needed for the registration, as the car was fine. Of course I agreed, as I still had plenty of time to get to the cinema for the film.
Obviously, I had picked the right mechanic. Once again, I was helped to make the right decision through Sahaja Yoga.
Editor's note: You can find more stories by Lisa by searching for "Lisa Barron".
I met an elderly couple whilst doing my junk mail run. We started chatting whenever I reached their letter box, until they stopped being in their garden when I walked past.
Weeks went by before Mr Jones called out to me and came to talk. He told me that his wife had been very sick and since then she had "terrible nerves and couldn't do anything". She wasn't even leaving the house and just wanted to stay in bed. He said that he had been told that I taught meditation and asked me if I would come to their house and teach his wife to meditate to see if that would help her. Normally, I would never agree, but these people were in their 80s, and I could feel how much concern and love he had for his wife. So I agreed.
Mrs Jones invited me to sit next to her on the lounge. We began talking, and I explained how Sahaja Yoga worked. I showed her the green meditation card with the photograph of Shri Mataji and explained the process of Self-realisation. I put the card down as I showed her where to place her hands and explained the affirmations. I felt the vibrations flowing as we closed our eyes for her to receive her realisation. The vibrations became very strong, and so I guided her through a short meditation. Finally, we opened our eyes. I looked at Mrs Jones. Her eyes were filled with tears. I asked her how she felt. She replied with a smile, "I feel relaxed for the first time since…" She never finished the sentence but just took hold of my hand.
We sat and enjoyed another short meditation. Then I left, telling her that I would come back in a week. When I returned Mrs Jones told me that she had been meditating twice a day and that she felt a lot better.
A few days later I saw the local doctor.
This experience reminded me that it is just pure desire and thoughtless awareness that enables Self-realisation and nothing more. We actually do nothing. I also learned that you are never too old to be transformed. Mrs Jones was proof that Sahaja Yoga absolutely transforms a person, including the person "giving" realisation.
I have been practising Sahaja Yoga for more than twenty years, and I am still amazed and humbled by the experiences that it brings. Sahaja Yoga truly connects us to an entirely new dimension. Our brains wrestle with this concept. We still think that we have to solve our problems, especially the mundane ones. However, if we surrender and truly believe that, just as Shri Mataji says, we are protected and that the Divine is just waiting to help us, then every little thing that is good for our ascent is taken care of in ways that our brains could not even imagine. These two experiences show just how the Divine is aware of everything, even our most basic, mundane needs.
I am on what I used to call "a very tight budget". As a result, I found myself with two very hungry dogs and no money to feed them. I also desired to eat chicken soup from the local Malaysian restaurant. I had no money to buy either and began to feel stressed about the dogs (not so much about the soup).
I realised that I had forgotten once more that our needs are taken care of. I drove to the local pet shop and stopped my negative thoughts. I stood in the aisle where the dog food was. Just as I began to wonder what on earth I expected to happen, the owner of the store approached me.
The old me would have panicked and blurted out the fact that I couldn't afford it, but this new me just stayed silent and let him do all the speaking.
I walked out feeling totally humble and filled with joy. My ignorant brain was thinking that things could not get any better. Little did it know!
I started driving home when I received a text message. I stopped the car to read it. The text was from a friend who lived above the local restaurant that made the soup which, by now, I had forgotten all about. The restaurant had made too much of this soup that I desired and had given her the surplus which was too much for her to eat. She wanted me to come to her house to get some! I drove home, totally humbled, with enough soup for two and enough dog food to last for two weeks.
The other experience involved a food processor. I hadn't had one for more than twelve months, and I really wanted to buy one as I missed the meals I used to prepare with it.
Finally, I had enough money to buy one and they were on special. I felt that another desire was being taken care of, but somehow it didn't feel right to go ahead with buying it.
The next morning a lady who had been coming to the Sahaja Yoga programs at the local library rang and asked me to go to an exhibition at an art gallery. The following morning, we met at my house for meditation. We were chatting over a cup of tea when she began to talk about cooking and recipes. I mentioned my plans to buy a food processor. She asked why I wanted one, and I explained that I missed making hummus and falafels. She said that she had a food processor that she never used and that she would like me to have it because she always felt bad that it was never used.
Within half an hour I owned a food processor! My gut feelings had been correct: I wasn't meant to buy a food processor; I was simply meant to "get" one.
Since then I never refer to my tight budget. I don't have a tight budget at all. I simply have a Divine one!


Just to keep you posted re. this year's Seeing Sound..
2) Many thanks to those of you who have already submitted. We've had a fantastic number and range of submissions, and are excited that we have such a wealth to choose from in putting together what is looking set to be a fantastic event.
3) A particularly exciting development: We're delighted to announce that we're able to include a reasonably comprehensive programme of works by John and James Whitney. These wonderful works are very rarely screened in the UK (or indeed elsewhere), so it'll be a fantastic opportunity to see some seminal visual music works from some of the pioneers of motion graphics. The full programme will be revealed soon, but it will be pretty spectacular. Where available, the works will be shown in recent and beautiful HD digital transfers; otherwise in original 16mm format. You won't want to miss it!

F1 can teach lessons on data analytics, conference told
Do not overburden people with data if you want them to operate efficiently, a conference was told.
Mike Phillips, business director at McLaren Applied Technologies, said collecting data was important but it was necessary to only give people the information they needed.
Speaking at the IGD Supply Chain Summit, Phillips presented an example of a real F1 incident in which Lewis Hamilton suffered damage to a tyre.
Phillips said the incident was one of many scenarios that had been modelled prior to the race, with data used to identify the optimum response in terms of the replacement tyre and how much refuelling should take place during the pit stop. However, to drive the car efficiently, Hamilton did not need to know all this data.
"We bring data-led design analytics and operational excellence to a range of industries," said Phillips.
"Crunch with the big data, but people can't cope with it: present them with small dashboards."
Phillips said it was important to identify clear goals in a business setting, as opposed to F1 where it was obvious who crossed the line first. "What does winning look like?" he said.
He said plans were necessary but they had to be flexible in the face of unpredictable events. "Have a plan, but realise it's wrong," he said.
Phillips also made clear that using technology and data was not automation, but it did require new ways of working. "We are giving people the right information to make decisions," he said.
"Technology always requires new ways of working, otherwise it's just an expense. If it doesn't change the way you do things, there's no point using it."


I went to university at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where I met Terry Gensbigler. Terry and I were married in 1971, We graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1972.. In the fall of 1973 we went into the Peace Corps and lived in the Kingdom of Tonga until January of 1977, In August 1977 we moved to Houston where I started graduate school and Terry started teaching. Our wonderful daughter was born in 1985. Terry and I both obtained our doctorates, Terry in education in 1986 and Charlie in biostatistics in 1988. Charlie went on to join the faculty of neurosurgery at Baylor College of Medicine, doing research in neurotrauma. Terry became nationally known in elementary school science education. Heather obtained a BA and MA from New School University in New York City, She is about to be granted her PhD from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
Terry and I moved to Connecticut in 2004 so I could take a job at Pfizer. After five years, I moved to Harvard Medical School, then Novartis. Terry worked for a regional educational center until last year. We are both "semi-retired". Terry consults and keeps active in the elementary science curriculum community.. I was diagnosed with a meningioma two years ago, and am not working.
Terry and i have had good careers. Terry has multiple accomplishments in education including a very successful science education textbooks. I had a good time doing research and ended up an author on 115 or so peer reviewed papers. Most importantly, our daughter is an intelligent, kind thoughtful young woman who is building a beautiful life of her own. We are so very proud of her.

Peggy was an intelligent, lovely and kind person. She had a fascination with Russian language. Unfortunately, I lost contact with her after I moved to Houston, but knew she had married. She will always exist in my memory as a wonderful person. The world is poorer for her absence.


Step ladders are a further common ladder, however may offer many extra features most people might not exactly think of. The standard design of a step ladder is pretty much general. But you can get them with a major that is designed to hold various tools. When you are working from one step ladder to install a light, paint or any other task you require this ladder for, it usually is cumbersome to have to hold onto all the tools you will need. There are step ladders designed for different types of job. Some have top ideas designed to hold painting tools such as brushes and tape. Others are designed to hold twist drivers, electric screw weapons, pliers and other hand tools. This feature can make any kind of job much easier and working from the ladder much less dangerous.

Whitney – the Chicago-based band led by vocalist/drummer Julien Ehrlich and guitarist Max Kakacek – will embark on their first major tour since 2017 this autumn.
These mark some of their largest headline shows to date. Whitney released their debut album, Light Upon The Lake, in June 2016 via Secretly Canadian. Light Upon The Lake's exceptional, unfussy combination of soul and breezy sixties/seventies-inspired rock led to television performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS This Morning: Saturday, an interview between Elton John and Whitney's Ehrlich for The New York Times, and countless year-end accolades from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Pitchfork, SPIN, Noisey, Consequence of Sound, Paste, Gorilla vs Bear and more.
The band is currently in the studio wrapping up their second album and will release new music later this year. The fall tour will showcase many of the songs live for the first time ever.

Q: qsub job array (-t), wait finish previews task "Linux Server"
I have this code
for i in *.sh; do echo "bash $i ZMV" | qsub -N ZMV -t 1-7 -cwd -l h_vmem=2G; done

The point is that I don't want to start all qsub together but one by one (the second after the first finished, the third when the second finished)
In a "normal" situation (without -t), I use -hold_jid but in this case I don't know what to do.

A: The qsub switch "-tc" is supposed to control the maximum number of concurrent jobs.
I think you want to add "-tc 1" to your qsub command line.

The last winter and this summer collaboratively made way for a festive metallic trend! I have seen so many bloggers and celebrities don this trend in a fresh and innovative way. Owing to the fact I am petite I realized wearing a jumper or a long silk white shirt with a belt didn't quite suit my frame. I wanted to go with a baseball cap and white/ white floral sneakers but stuck to the classic old black sandals instead.
During my hunt for a photographer; I did bump into the owner of pure leather handbags- Tatai and two awesome photographers (Sunny & Pravin) who were kind enough to help me out for my lookbook shoot!
I love the idea of wearing a metallic pleated skirt with a crop top and a bomber jacket. Take out these sneakers for a walk and a backpack to get set and rock the day.
A leather jacket along with plain white shoes and a large envelope clutch could add a twist to the pleats.
Plain crop top, a plain classic choker necklace and a cap to compliment a slip-on and a rucksack.
A sweater/ Plush Jumper with heeled sandals with a large clutch bag- A classic runway look.
Mix an urban twist by throwing a long plain or an embroidered kurti/ silk tunic; waist belt, heeled shoes, sleek pulled back pony, a small plain hand clutch and a big jeweled necklace/ lot of metallic bracelets on one hand.
Off-shoulder (Another SS16 trend I can not have enough of) crop top (plain), classic stilettos and a small crossover messenger bag.
Tye and Dye buttoned Tunic ( SS16), a choker necklace, Waist belt, Shoes and a Beret along with a cross-body big bag.
If metallics are too strong for you then opt for satin finish pleated skirts- they give a brilliant glaze effect and prove out to be the perfect substitute!
So how did you don your metallic pleats?

At the urging of neighbors, city councilors killed Auburn Concrete's proposal for a zone change to allow it to blast rock at its Civic Center Drive plant.
AUGUSTA — At the urging of neighbors, city councilors killed a concrete company's proposal for a zone change to allow it to blast rock at its Civic Center Drive plant.
Councilors and neighbors of the site, including the developers of the multimillion-dollar Central Maine Commerce Center across the street, had expressed fear that blasting would be disruptive and damaging to an area they said is the economic engine for the entire city.
Auburn Concrete sought a zone change that would have allowed it to apply for a mineral extraction permit to blast rock both to create more usable space and provide raw material to make concrete at the Civic Center Drive plant it opened in Augusta in 2011.
However, city councilors Thursday declined to send the proposal to the Planning Board for a recommendation, instead opting to take no action, which essentially kills the proposal.
That's precisely what some neighbors asked them to do.
Lawyer and lobbyist Severin Beliveau, a partner in the firm that owns the Central Maine Commerce Center, which has an entrance directly across Civic Center Drive from the concrete plant, said the commerce center is home not just to offices but also to Maine State Police and federal Homeland Security operations that use costly, sensitive equipment relying on wiring running from Civic Center Drive to the commerce center.
"Anything that could potentially disrupt the services provided to that area could be devastating," Beliveau said.
He said having a plant blasting in the area is inappropriate and a hindrance as the area is developed with other businesses. He said the prospect of the blasting has become an issue as commerce center officials negotiate with potential new tenants.
Ward 3 Councilor Patrick Paradis, whose ward includes the site, said that part of north Augusta is the engine driving economic development in the city.
"This item, if approved, would be one of the biggest anti-business decisions by this council in decades," Paradis said.
Joel Cummings, one of three family members who own Auburn Concrete, said Friday they will drop their effort to win permission to blast at the site. Doing so probably will scuttle company plans to build large concrete bridge spans for the logging industry in Augusta, because the site is too small to accommodate that work, without blasting to make more room.
Cummings said Auburn Concrete "absolutely" will continue its regular concrete-making operations at the Augusta plant.
Ward 1 Councilor Michael Byron made a motion to send the issue to the Planning Board for a recommendation, but no other councilor seconded the motion. Byron said he felt the proper process would be to get a recommendation from planners, regardless of how councilors and neighbors initially viewed the project.
Other councilors said the proposed blasting was clearly incompatible with other uses in the area and already is banned by the current zoning there. Sending the issue to planners would cause needless worry and delay, they said.

Gloucestershire STP 'One Place' Programme
Proposing developments across elements of the urgent care pathway
"SCW built a flexible whole-system financial model that enabled Gloucestershire to test a number of key scenarios, and complete the One Place business case on time. The support ranged from technical financial modelling expertise right through to stakeholder engagement and relationship building – the support provided by Stephen and SCW has been invaluable." - Haydn Jones, Associate Director of Finance (Business Intelligence), NHS Gloucestershire CCG
The Gloucestershire 'One Place' programme was developed in response to Gloucestershire STP's performance in urgent care and some elements of elective care in the local health system; there was a need for the system to work differently to deliver against key constitution standards and provide more responsive and joined-up services for their population. The One Place programme proposed developments across all four elements of the urgent care pathway:
Urgent access, advice and support – proposals for NHS111, and clinical assessment and advice services
Urgent treatment - development of urgent care centres and extended primary Care
Care in hospital – redesign of emergency departments, redeveloped acute assessment pathways and centres of excellence
Onwards care and recovery - a proposal for rehabilitation services in Gloucestershire
What we delivered
Due to staffing changes, SCW was asked to take over and develop the part-completed financial model for the One Place programme. The model outputs had to be included within the One Place programme business case to be signed off by individual STP boards and the Gloucestershire STP board itself, in advance of approval by NHS England and NHS Improvement.
Working with provider and commissioner subject matter experts and stakeholders, the whole-system financial model was developed and improved as the scope of the programme and scenarios within it changed, with the outputs presented to senior decision-makers as the programme progressed.
We developed and produced a financial model for the One Place programme to meet the needs of stakeholders and the structure of the programme's business case. The model was able to present financial outputs as a whole, as well as by programme element.
We contributed to the financial areas of the programme business case, ensuring that the financial elements within it that resulted from the financial modelling were aligned to the principles of and the guidance within HM Treasury's 'Five Case Model' ('The Green Book').
As the programme scope and potential future scenarios changed, we ensured the financial model was robust and adaptable enough to deal with these changes.
We were fully involved in participating in meetings with programme decision-makers and other stakeholders, giving professional advice and knowledge, and sharing experience from similar work in other health systems.
We engaged with both commissioners and providers to explore various alternative payment mechanisms and funding flows to ensure that no individual organisations or the STP as a whole would be financially worse off due to the model of care and pathway models delivered by the One Place programme.

A YORKSHIRE Photographer has published a limited edition book to commemorate the 160th Great Yorkshire Show in July.
The 160th Great Yorkshire Show: A Photographer's View includes a Foreword by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal who visited the Show and a Preface by His Grace The Duke of Devonshire who launched the Craven Heifer sculpture at Bolton Abbey. The sculpture, created by Emma Stothard, went on a journey across Yorkshire to spread the word about the Show.
Simon Hill was given special access to the Yorkshire Agricultural Society as the staff worked to organise the annual three-day event, which attracts more than 130,000 visitors every year.
From magical moments as dawn breaks on the Showground to the excitement in the judging rings, Simon captures a flavour of the three-day event that is all brought together in this limited edition book. The glossy soft cover book is on sale in Fodder, the Showground's farm shop & café priced at £7.50.
