The commission investigating the September 11 attacks has released tape recordings of some of the conversations from that day. Among them was one of the most powerful pieces of dialogue I've heard in years. I have no jokes or political points to make here; I just want to talk about the actual words.
The situation was this: within the last 50 minutes, two hijacked airlines had struck the World Trade Center in New York, a third had crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and a fourth was being tracked. The national Air Traffic Control System Command Center contacted the FAA headquarters to suggest military jets be used to intercept this fourth aircraft.
two F-15s screaming off a runway.
You don't run the FAA, Mr. Ryan. I do.
got a point to prove!
This is popcorn entertainment, escapism. There is nothing wrong with that; I often enjoy a good dose. But what I love even more are tiny moments of realistic human failing: when a person does something unthinking, or gets confused. These are touching simply because they're real and recognizable. Humans make a lot of mistakes. Our lives are not scripted, and if we could yell "cut" and do over every bit of our lives we weren't happy with, we'd all still be in our teens.
That's why this little exchange is, for me, almost heart-breakingly tragic.


In Design Study Methodology: Reflections from the Trenches to the Stacks, Sedlmair et al. (2012) use a reflective methodology to establish a much used framework for applied visualization research, which in itself generates knowledge through reflective practice.
This paper claims that "reflection is where research emerges from engineering", and provides this guidance for reporting on design study research: "a careful selection of decisions made, and their justification, is imperative for narrating a compelling story about a design study and are worth discussing as part of the reflections on lessons learned."
What does reflection in the context of design studies actually involve? How does it work? How do we use it to generate and report on research findings in which we can have trust? How is it done well, and not so well? How does experience inform this? In short - what have we as a community of researchers and practitioners learned from the many design studies that have been undertaken?
We think it's time to reflect upon this.
In advance, we will ask a series of visualization researchers from academia and industry, with a range of backgrounds and experience in a different application areas to answer five key questions in short position statements.
When and how do you reflect when conducting a design study?
How do you record the process and results of any reflection during a design study?
How might we make the contributions generated through reflection in design studies more trustworthy and useful?
How and when does cross-study reflection occur?
do you learn from or transfer knowledge to other design studies, beyond your own experience?
Has this reflection on your own practice resulted in any thoughts or ideas?
Structured discussion will seek commonalities and differences in experience and suggestions for ways in which experiences gained through applied visualization work can be harnessed to establish research findings that are valid, trustworthy and usable.
We anticipate the panel informing the next generation of applied visualization research through reflection on reflection in design studies.

TURING: Alan Turing, (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was a pioneering computer scientist, mathematician, logician and cryptanalyst. He was highly influential in the development of computer science. During the Second World War, Turing played a pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements. It has been estimated that this work shortened the war in Europe by as many as two to four years.
SANGER: Frederick Sanger, (13 August 1918 – 19 November 2013) was a British biochemist, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry twice (1958, 1980) "for his work on the structure of proteins, especially that of insulin". Sanger set out to determine the structure of insulin, a hormone crucial to regulating our blood sugar levels. Many of the disease treatments currently being developed for diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer and cystic fibrosis, would not be possible without Sanger's work.
BRONTE: Charlotte Bronte (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, who left behind a rich legacy of written work that includes classic novels such as 'Jane Eyre', 'Shirley' and 'Villette'. A dominant and ambitious woman from a young age, she was someone who refused to blindly follow the norms that society demanded of women during her time. She was a fiercely independent woman who introduced to the literary world a new kind of heroine who defied age-old societal expectations, to emerge as a courageous and virtuous individual in her own right.
HARGREAVES: Alison Hargreaves (17 February 1962 – 13 August 1995) was an English mountain climber from Derbyshire. Her accomplishments included scaling Mount Everest alone without supplementary oxygen in 1995. She solo climbed all the great north faces of the Alps in a single season. Hargreaves also climbed 6,813 metre (22,349 ft) Ama Dablam in Nepal. In 1995 Alison Hargreaves intended to climb the three highest mountains in the world: Mount Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga unaided. On 13 August, she was killed while descending from the summit of K2.

«Hispano-Lusophone» community media: identity, cultural politics and difference

In recent years, the issue of identity has been the subject of an intensive analysis across different fields and disciplines. Indeed, in an era of accelerated social and technological changes under the phenomenon of globalization, with the rapid internationalization and expansion of urban centres across the world, this is of little surprise. According to Lyotard (2006), these sweeping changes have set a crucial moment in a much longer process of displacement, through which dominant narratives, traditions and structures have progressively lost their historic power. As a part of this social reconfiguration, institutions have dematerialized, while beliefs, traditions and cultural practices have gained flexibility through rapid and frequent changes. In such a context, we witness the advent of a new subject, whose identity is no longer fixed, as well as the development of new forms of inequality, as it all converges to modify the contemporary social and political landscape. In these terms, Arjun Appadurai (1996) uses the expression «global cultural economy» to describe the myriad of cultural meeting points and flows underpinning this new modern, globalized world. As the author explains, «the new global cultural economy has to be seen as a complex, overlapping, disjunctive order that cannot any longer be understood in terms of existing centre-periphery models» (Appadurai, 1996:32). Indeed, the ongoing renegotiation and traversal of traditional borders point towards a multiplicity of new, non-monolithic membership forms: collectivities in which the local and the global, as experiential entities, are intimately intertwined (Featherstone & Lash, 2002). With this in mind, we have operationalized the concept of 'multi-territoriality' as a guide for this book. Such an expression, initially proposed by Haesbaert (1994) but further developed by Augé (1995), Albagli and Maciel (2010), refers to the intensification of multiple territorial re-imaginings and repossessions. In this context, displacement does not mean the abandonment of already established territorial references, but rather the addition of new references, which come together to form a complex matrix of feelings of belonging and ownership, towards a multiplicity of places and spaces. The intense flow of people and information appears pivotal to this panorama. Hence, the proliferation of 'differences' establishes a strategic space for intervention, which goes beyond and onto a broader, non-universalizing understanding of culture. In this process, the differences and experiences are taken into consideration, creating the basic conditions for societies to be transformed and improved. One of the most notable consequences of these shifts is the current social reconfiguration, with the consequent surfacing of groups that were previously marginalized. Indeed, these groups find themselves now able to capitalize on new flows of information, communication and expertise. Consequently, novel social categories and relations of belonging are forged, extending both within and across national boundaries (Santos & Rodríguez, 2003). Inspired by the idea of 'territory' as a cultural construct, created, contested and transformed in various ways by media technologies (Canclini, 2001; Appadurai, 2001; Haesbaert, 1994), the works collected in this edition span and explore several of the community media projects, parts of a 'space'1 named the 'Hispano-Lusophone' sphere. By mapping and exploring the creative and intellectual production in the context of the Hispano-Lusophone imaginary, this project consciously endeavours to disarm and overturn certain cultural and raced hierarchies within the global knowledge production. Its authors come from a large array of professional backgrounds: they have worked intensively to overcome the significant linguistic and geographical barriers to intellectual collaboration. In this respect, the authors draw into critical examination the established frontiers of knowledge production, as well as the main agents and processes that create and legitimate those borders.

Q: reference datatype javascript In javascript, what is the difference in applying a toString() method to the primitive datatype, number like this
var myString = myNumber.toString();

and applying the same toString() method by creating a reference datatype equivalent, the Number class like this
var numberObject = new Number(myNumber);
var myString = numberObject.toString();

A: In a chrome console if you type:
new Number(10).toString === (10).toString

It returns true, so I suppose there is no difference between the two since both functions refers to the same reference.

A: Both are equivalent and give the same result.
JavaScript allows to create objects without using new keyword.
For example, you may create an array using new Array(1, 2, 3), but you may also use the shorter syntax [1, 2, 3].
Use shorter notations ((123).toString(), "hello ".trim(), [1, 2, 3].reverse(), etc.) whenever possible. They are explicit enough, so there is no need to pass by a verbose new <Type>() notation.
