Discussion. Art in 'Exclusion Zones'
Garage Triennial of Russian Contemporary Art Events
Garage Auditorium
In response to the growing interest in the intersections between art and politics, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art invites visitors to a discussion of aesthetic means of resistance, trauma mitigation and artistic collaboration in a situation of growing tension.
The map of the world is changing, and as borders between the states are being redefined, 'zones of exclusion' emerge in areas of greatest political and cultural tension.
Regardless of the roots of social conflicts, they tend to result in growing xenophobia, which can put contemporary art on the brink of survival.
What can an artist do to overcome the alienation and disregard for contemporary art in an increasingly conservative society? How can our cultural policies help people who inhabit these 'exclusion zones'?
Discussing these questions will be art theorists and practitioners from Russia, neighboring countries, and Eastern Europe, affected by recent geopolitical conflicts.

WESTPORT, Conn., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — A C-shaped neck collar based on patented technology from Q30 Innovations provides early evidence that it may reduce brain injury in separate studies of high-school football and hockey players published today in peer-reviewed journals. The studies, performed by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, constitute the first research of the effectiveness of the collar on human subjects.
The Q-Collar, which facilitates the body's own physiology to create a bubble-wrap effect for the brain, is being developed by Q30 Innovations for athletes, soldiers and industrial workers. It gently compresses the jugular vein to mildly increase blood volume in the cranium, creating a "tighter fit" of the brain in the cranium. This action is proposed to reduce "slosh" – i.e., the twisting and slamming of the brain against the skull's interior walls which is one cause of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion.
In the preliminary hockey study, researchers followed players through the first half of the season. As in the football study, each head impact was measured and recorded. Fifteen players were randomly assigned to two groups: one wearing the collar for the first half of the season, and the other group not wearing the collar. MRI scans before, during and after the season indicated that changes in the brain's white matter (an indication of brain injury) were significantly ameliorated when the Q-Collar was worn. In fact, as in the football study, players wearing the collar showed no statistically significant changes in their brains' white matter. The study was published in Frontiers in Neurology.
In the football study, researchers followed Cincinnati high school players through the fall 2015 season. The players wearing the collar showed no statistically significant alterations over the season in their brains' white matter, which connects the processing centers of the brain. By contrast, the athletes who did not wear the collar showed statistically significant alterations consistent with brain injury. The two groups sustained similar levels of head impacts measured by helmet-mounted accelerometers worn in all games and practices. The study is detailed in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
The lead author of the football and hockey studies is Dr. Greg Myer, PhD, director of sports medicine research at Cincinnati Children's. The Q-Collar was inspired by research from David Smith, PhD, visiting scientist at Cincinnati Children's, a co-inventor of the collar. Smith conceived the idea of the Q-Collar after determining that woodpeckers and head-ramming sheep employ natural biological mechanisms to prevent brain damage from concussive hits. The migration patterns of head-ramming sheep show they are hitting at high altitudes, which are believed to increase blood volume in the skull. Woodpeckers have a long tongue that wraps around the top of their head and lassos the jugular vein, creating a bubble-wrap effect similar to the Q-Collar.
A global company based in Westport, Conn., Q30 Innovations, LLC, uses independent scientific research and innovative thinking to design products intended to reduce traumatic brain injury in athletes, soldiers, and industry workers. Products using Q30's technology have not yet received regulatory approval and are not available for purchase in the United States.

when I use this code instead, it gets me the right result with no error
c = Counter()
for i,pair in a:
    c+=Counter(pair)

I tried to play with the partitions in the rdd map.
Nothing works.
The two code sections should work in the same way, what is the difference? why would the first not work?
Thanks

A: The issue was the lack of memory on the driver, i solved it using
conf = SparkConf()
conf.set("spark.driver.memory", "3G")
sc = SparkContext(conf=conf)

before staring the spark context

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – June 3, 2018 -- Genomic Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: GHDX) today announced that the Trial Assigning IndividuaLized Options for Treatment (Rx), or TAILORx, successfully defined the benefit of chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer patients with Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® results of 11 to 25. The long-awaited results of the TAILORx study, the largest ever breast cancer treatment trial, sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and led by the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN), provided definitive evidence that the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test identified 70 percent of early-stage breast cancer patients who receive no benefit from chemotherapy, and can be effectively treated with endocrine therapy alone. Additionally, the trial established that chemotherapy may provide life-saving benefit to 30 percent of patients.
The TAILORx results will be published today in The New England Journal of Medicine in conjunction with a presentation during the Plenary Session at the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.


Ron Paul and Barney Frank presented charge HR 5767 so as to preclude the US government to boycott online gambling in the United States, this after the presentation of the real boycott itself called the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act). The bill as of late came to vote in the US government and lost. Its point was to stop this boycott and have the US government manage national gambling, which would thusly produce billions in income for the legislature through the span of 10 years.
It is entirely stunning and pitiful to see that the bill did not go in congress. Above all else, the bill would have been an extraordinary help to the officially harmed US economy as the incomes the administration control would bring into the legislature are in the billions through the span of 10 years, and that is only the begin. Another positive actuality is that if the bill were to have passed, the administration would have the capacity to effectively, or enhance its observing on US residents making wagers online, as the present circumstance obviously expresses that Americans are as yet gambling in spite of the way that there is a present prohibition on internet gambling operations, and that the UIGEA law has fizzled. It is vastly improved for the legislature to control and quit obstructing Americans to bet online than to boycott the entire procedure through and through and come up short in the boycott itself while not taking in incomes from online gambling operations.
The bill was turned down to a limited extent because of the Las Vegas business visionaries and administrators campaigning the legislature keeping in mind the end goal to succeed in the boycott because of the thinking that since Americans won't have the capacity to bet online, where else than Vegas to make wagers, bets, and have a decent time as a rule, along these lines advancing tourism and monetary movement in the city.
What's to come is entirely bleak after HR 5767 neglected to go as now the boycott remains, and Americans won't have the capacity to bet online, at any rate for quite a while until another bill like this one goes to the senate floor for exchange. It would have been exceptional for the legislature to lift the boycott, and advance the Las Vegas business visionaries to contend with each other over the internet than to boycott the gambling operation and prevent from increasing billions in assessments and profit from control.
In spots like most European nations, this kind of gambling has gotten to be satisfactory, and has developed in amazing fame. Governments take in income from online gambling operations, and punters are upbeat performing wagers online in reasonable managed markets. USA based casino administrators ought to gain from these effectively fruitful strategies for gambling operation s and attempt to advance it in their own particular nation as opposed to attempting to hinder it with a specific end goal to make their customers go in a physical way to their casinos. It is much less expensive and a great deal more viable to have online virtual entrances than to burn through billions in physical framework.

Using Biochar to Boost Soil Moisture
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are leading the way in learning more about "biochar," the charred biomass created from wood, other plant material, and manure.
The studies by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists at laboratories across the country support the USDA priorities of promoting international food security and responding to global climate change. ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency.
Soil scientist Jeff Novak at the ARS Coastal Plains Soil, Water and Plant Research Center in Florence, S.C., is coordinating the multi-location effort. In one project, he led a laboratory study to see if different biochars could improve the sandy soils found on the Carolina coastal plain, and Pacific Northwest silt loam soils derived from volcanic ash.
Novak's team used peanut hulls, pecan shells, poultry litter, switchgrass and hardwood waste products to produce nine different types of biochars. All the feedstocks were pyrolysed at two different temperatures to produce the biochars. Pyrolysis is a process of chemical decomposition that results from rapid heating of the raw feedstocks in the absence of oxygen. Then the biochars were mixed into one type of sandy soil and two silt loam soils at the rate of about 20 tons per acre.
After four months, the team found that biochars produced from switchgrass and hardwoods increased soil moisture storage in all three soils. They saw the greatest increase in soils amended with switchgrass biochar produced via high-temperature pyrolysis -- almost 3 to 6 percent higher than a control soil sample.
Biochars produced at higher temperatures also increased soil pH levels, and biochar made from poultry litter greatly increased soil levels of available phosphorus and sodium. The scientists also calculated that the switchgrass biochar amendments could extend the window of soil water availability by 1.0 to 3.6 days for a soybean crop in Florence, and could increase soil water availability for crops grown in Pacific Northwest silt loam soils by 0.4 to 2.5 days.
Given their results, the team believes that agricultural producers could someday select feedstocks and pyrolysis processes to make "designer" biochars with characteristics that target specific deficiencies in soil types.

Seville was once the largest city in all of Spain, a key city of Islamic Al-Andalus and of medieval Castile, and later the primary port which connected Spain with its American colonies. Even today the culture and the language spoken in the city recall those connections. Many aspects of the culture of Seville are among the most celebrated of Spain, such as Flamenco dance/music, bullfighting and "tapas". In contrast, Salamanca is the "Oxford" or "Cambridge" of the Hispanic world. The Universidad de Salamanca was founded in the year 1218 and retains a worldwide reputation in Spanish language teaching and Hispanic studies. Its 40,000 Spanish, European and Latin American students make Salamanca a very young city with a wide offering of cultural activities (theater, concerts, art exhibitions, local festivals) and an active social life for students and non-students alike.
This program, hosted by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, is open to all interested students: Spanish majors & minors as well as students interested in developing their proficiency in Spanish and knowledge of Hispanic culture.

Q: table borders in the pdf are of uneven color I am generating a pdf using java and doing the formatting with XSL ..I have few tables that are being generated in the pdf . Problem is the border of the tables are not of even darkness . somepart of the line is dark and some part is light .
How can I correct this formatting .
Thanks

A: Sometimes a table border might look lighter depending on your Zoom level. If you zoom in and the borders are displaying weird it must be your code to display borders.
Check all of your border settings for:

*

*table

*header row

*body row

*footer row

All of these can be set with different border-top, border-bottom, border-left, and border-right thicknesses.

A: Print the document. If they are all the same then it is the viewer and resolution of the monitor that is the issue. Many FO renderers use polygons to represent borders so that corners are mitered as they should be for different colors or sizes. Some PDF viewers (especially Reader on Windows) cannot handle thin polygons when the screen representation is but one or two pixels.
Likely there is nothing wrong with the file,  it is only the view application.

A: Best way to set the table properties like color ,font ,alignment is to set those in the <xsl:attribute-set> and then later call this using <use-attribute-sets>.This way you would not have to set the properties at every table cell ,just need to call the attribute set .

While diversity is the buzzword at premier management institutes worldwide, there seems to be little change in the student profile of Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) this year, with engineering graduates still dominating the composition of new batches.
Of the candidates joining IIM-Calcutta this year, 90.4 per cent are from an engineering background. At IIM-Bangalore, this percentage is as high as 91.09 in the 2013-15 batch — up from 88.84 per cent in the previous batch.
Other streams, such as commerce, science, management and the arts have seen only 21, 8, 4 and 2 students respectively in the total batch-size of 404 students at IIM-Bangalore.
While premier management institutes in India have always had a skewed representation of engineers, internationally acclaimed business schools have made a conscious effort to include diverse candidates from various backgrounds.
For instance, Harvard Business School's 2015 class comprises 43 per cent economics and business undergraduate majors, 39 per cent of science, technology, engineering and mathematics students and 18 per cent students studying humanities and social sciences.
In the 2014 batch of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, 46 per cent of students are from the humanities and social sciences background, 37 per cent from engineering, mathematics and natural sciences and 17 per cent from business, while 18 per cent are advanced degree holders.
Prof M. Jayadev, Chairperson, Admissions and International Aid, IIM-Bangalore, says: "The number of engineers appearing for the CAT (Common Admission Test) entrance is much higher than the non-engineering stream candidates. This, Jayadev said, tends to ensure a higher proportion of engineering students get into the IIMs. Traditionally, IIMs have given higher weightage to CAT, which places greater emphasis on quantitative skills, and not on other sciences. This puts prospective students with a social science background at a disadvantage.
Some years ago, the admission weightages given by IIMs were an internal matter known only to the relevant institutes. But things started changing after the Right to Information (RTI) Act came into force. "Before the RTI Act came into existence, most IIMs used to modify the admission process a bit to add diversity to the student profile. At that time, the strength of engineering students was only around 60-65 per cent in the batches. However, with too many questions being asked about the admission process, IIMs do not have the liberty to tweak the admission process," said the CEO of a leading financial institution and an IIM-A graduate.

Hollywood's oldest working actress, Connie Sawyer, has passed.
The longstanding actress who enjoyed a career that spanned almost nine decades passed on Monday at her Woodland Hills home in Los Angeles.
According to Deadline, Sawyer began her career in show business as a teen before notching memorable roles on TV and movies for over 87 years.
Her TV acting resume included classics from the 60s like Bonanza, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Fugitive. In the 70s, her acting abilities landed her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Starsky & Hutch, All in the Family, Kojak, and Welcome Back, Kotter.
Connie Sawyer was still very much around in the 80s and was on Dynasty, Laverne & Shirley as well as Silver Spoons. The hardworking actress also got recurring roles on shows from the 90s like ER, Seinfeld, and Home Improvement.
Her most recent TV features were Ray Donovan, The Office, 2 Broke Girls in 2012, NCIS: Los Angeles in 2013 and New Girl in 2014.
Sawyer's most notable movies included 1989's When Harry Met Sally, 1994's Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carey, and 2008's Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.
Connie Sawyer, born in 1912, credited the good genes she inherited from her parents for her longevity.
Sawyer granted her last interview to People magazine when she turned 105, explaining that an active lifestyle also helped to contribute to her long-standing health.
When she was not working, Sawyer functioned as a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She also ensured that she voted during the Oscars. According to her, she watched some of the contending movies twice before casting her vote.
A reminiscing Sawyer revealed that there was plenty of love working in the earlier times, adding that the present Hollywood was very cold and distant.
Connie Sawyer is survived by two daughters, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Legendary Leopolitans No. 5: Mozart's forgotten son
Issue 24, May 2010.
Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart (26 July 1791 – 29 July 1844), also known as F. X. Mozart or simply Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jr., was the youngest child of six born to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his wife Constanze. He was spend much of life in the shadow of his father's greatness while making a major contribution to the growth of musical education in 19th century Habsburg Lviv
Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart was actually born in Vienna just five months before his illustrious father's death and was the younger of his parents' two surviving sons. He was a composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher. The reason he is known to history by a number of different names is the fact that while he was originally named in honour of his father and his father's student and close friend, Franz Xaver Sussmayr, at some later point in life his mother Constanze changed Franz Xaver's name legally to Wolfgang Amadeus. Whatever drove her to do so, it was a fair reflection of the dominating role his dead father would play in Mozart junior's life.
Wolfgang possessed a good musical talent and received the best musical tuition which money could buy or which influence could secure. Haydn himself took great interest in his education and taught him without remuneration, firmly believed in Wolfgang's ability. At the age of eleven Wolfgang delighted Constanze by composing a Rondo for piano for her name-day. In 1805 Constanze decided to present the fourteen year old Wolfgang to the public with his first concert. The theatre in Vienna was full and Constanze herself led Wolfgang onto the stage where they were greeted with thunderous applause. Wolfgang's concert brought forth many favourable reviews but the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung struck a cautionary note: "May he not forget that for while now the name Mozart will inspire leniency, in the future it will entail great expectations." Over the next two years Wolfgang became a highly successful performer and was much sought after in Vienna. A number of his early compositions were published at this time by Andre and Breitkopf & Hartel. In May 1808, an overview of the state of music in Vienna, published by Ignaz von Mosel, named Wolfgang amongst the outstanding pianists and composers of the time. He was included in the list with such luminaries as Beethoven, Streicher and the blind pianist, Theresia Paradis. As he grew older, however, Wolfgang realised that as a musician, he would forever be compared to his immortal father. It was a crippling discovery that thwarted his musical development and prevented him from discovering his own individuality. In the era of Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt and Schumann, Wolfgang floundered, imprisoned by his father's musical legacy.
At the age of seventeen Wolfgang accepted a position as music teacher in Halychyna (modern-day West Ukraine). He travelled first to Pidkamin where he gave music lessons to the daughters of Count Baworowski. Although the pay was good, Wolfgang is said to have felt lonely in the rural backwater, so in 1809 he accepted an offer from the imperial representative, von Janiszewski to teach his daughters music in the West Ukrainian town of Burshtyn. Besides
teaching, he gave local concerts, playing his own and his father's pieces. These concerts introduced him to the mportant people in Halychyna and within two years he had moved to Lviv (then known as Lemberg) where he was to spend more than 20 years teaching.
In early 19th century Lviv Wolfgang became the teacher to the two young daughters of the Chief Government Councillor, Ludwig Cajetan von Baroni-Cavalcabo. Their mother, Josephine was three years older than Wolfgang. She was a beautiful woman who had married to a man many years her senior – a 19th century imperial trophy wife, in other words. Josephine also possessed a beautiful singing voice and Wolfgang often accompanied her on the piano. The Baroni-Cavalcabos gave musical soirees which needed rehearsals. Alone during these sessions, Wolfgang and Josephine fell in love, a love which would last all their lives. Except for two concert tours, undertaken by Wolfgang to test the waters of a concert career, Josephine and Wolfgang never parted. Thus Wolfgang became locked in a soul-destroying menage a trios for the rest of his life. While in Lviv he lived in the apartment on Kurbas street, but this building has unfortunately since been demolished so there is no memorial or information about his life for modern generations to remember him by. Nevertheless, his influence spread wider than teaching aristocratic daughters and seducing oligarchs' wives. Between 1826 and 1829, he conducted the choir of Saint Cecilia, which consisted of 400 amateur singers. In 1826, he conducted his father's Requem during a concert at the Greek Catholic cathedral of Saint George. From this choir, he created the musical brotherhood of Saint Cecilia, and thus the first school of music in Lviv.
In 1838, he left for Vienna and then for Salzburg, where he was chosen the Kappellmeister of the Mozarteum. From 1841, he taught the pianist Ernst Pauer. During the winter of 1843 Wolfgang became ill with a stomach ailment and in the spring of 1844 went to Karlsbad seeking a cure. He was accompanied by his friend and pupil, Ernest Pauer. Wolfgang's condition worsened and Josephine hurried to Karlsbad to be at his bedside. He died in Karlsbad, with Josephine by his side on July 29, 1844. Memorial services, with performances of Mozart's Requiem were held in his memory in Salzburg, Vienna and Lemberg. He left his entire estate, most of it inherited fro m his mother, to Josephine who in turn donated all Mozart memorabilia to the Mozarteum. The shadow of his father loomed large over him even in death. The following inscription was etched on his tombstone: "May the name of his father be his epitaph, as his veneration for him was the essence of his life."

Q: how to php in stream publish -->facebook I'm trying to implement an array in the publishStream() function, but the code below is creating problems.
Any idea what's going wrong?
Thanks a lot
function publishStream(){
  <?php foreach($usernames as $username){ ?>
  streamPublish("Vote for me here", 'Please vote for me', 'Checkout', '<?php echo  $link.$username; ?>\n', "Facebook Application");
  <?php } ?>
}

A: I'm not sure but I see this as a problem
streamPublish("Vote for me here", 'Please vote for me', 'Checkout', '<?php echo  $link.$username; ?>\n', "Facebook Application");

Do you think you need quotes around '<?php echo  $link.$username; ?>\n' and why \n.
And moreover what is this $link.$username;. $something.$something. Is it a string concatenation or what is the data type?. If it is string concatenation, then quotes are not properly ended.


**Umit Benan Sahin'**s first women's collection for Trussardi happens to coincide with the Italian house's 100th anniversary, so rather than showing the clothes at a low-wattage presentation per the brand's custom, he has the good fortune (or misfortune, depending on how much he likes the spotlight) to send them down a major runway in front of a capacity crowd at Castello Sforzesco, a massive 15th-century castle and one of Milan's biggest landmarks. Not that there's any pressure.
Sahin's measured confidence stems from the countless hours he spent with members of the Trussardi clan shaping and shifting that middle. How traditional is the new Trussardi woman, how old is she, what are her interests? The answer: "Imagine **Diane Keaton'**s granddaughter having access to her grandmother's wardrobe," Sahin says. In other words, expect menswear.
One can't help but wonder how long Sahin can sustain that tune should his star continue to rise and responsibilities to multiply. In the meantime, he's creating women's looks like the one he reveals exclusively to Vogue a few days before the big event: a short-sleeved, slightly oversize crisp blue shirt paired with belted and pleated baggy cotton khakis and stacked-heel sandals with a tangerine-tinged python strap. "I want girls to look more intellectual," he says, "less hip, less rock 'n' roll." If that's the case, then showing at a national historical site might be a good place to start.
