Emergent Tech
Japan testing sandwiches that discount themselves as they age
Snacks will ID themselves using RFID and an app will tell punters when there's cheap chow to be chomped
Simon Sharwood, APAC Editor Fri 30 Oct 2020 // 05:56 UTC
Japan will conduct a test of sandwiches and other snacks that discount themselves as they age.
Trials due to run in two convenience stores starting next week will see RFID tags attached to perishable snacks such as sandwiches, rice balls and lunch sets. The RFID tags will be encoded with information including expiration dates.
"Smart shelves" that include RFID readers will keep track of the snacks and may also feature signage that advertises the reduced price of some of the goods they carry.
A smartphone app called "Ecobuy" is also part of the scheme and will allow customers to scan nearby stores to learn if any cut-price inventory is on offer. There's also a loyalty scheme that will reward snackers for splashing on soon-to-be-expired goods rather than fresher fare.
Japan's aim in this experiment is to avoid food waste, but also to avoid unnecessary labour. In its announcement of the trial the nation's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry points out that Japan has labour shortage due to a falling birth-rate and ageing population. If fewer snacks are thrown away, it has the potential to make industry more efficient.
The Register also imagines that a little more info about how long seafood has been on the shelf could also improve productivity.
This idea's been around for a while: NTT has helped to develop the tech used in trials during 2018.
That the Ministry is now backing further tests suggests it is closer to finding favour among policy-makers, which is timely as Japan's new prime minister Yoshihide Suga has made digitising the nation a key part of his platform. ®

Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York
Luc SanteMar 2016
Sold by Farrar, Straus and Giroux
$11.99 Ebook
Luc Sante's Low Life is a portrait of America's greatest city, the riotous and anarchic breeding ground of modernity. This is not the familiar saga of mansions, avenues, and robber barons, but the messy, turbulent, often murderous story of the city's slums; the teeming streets--scene of innumerable cons and crimes whose cramped and overcrowded housing is still a prominent feature of the cityscape.
Low Life voyages through Manhattan from four different directions. Part One examines the actual topography of Manhattan from 1840 to 1919; Part Two, the era's opportunities for vice and entertainment--theaters and saloons, opium and cocaine dens, gambling and prostitution; Part Three investigates the forces of law and order which did and didn't work to contain the illegalities; Part Four counterposes the city's tides of revolt and idealism against the city as it actually was.
Low Life provides an arresting and entertaining view of what New York was actually like in its salad days. But it's more than simpy a book about New York. It's one of the most provocative books about urban life ever written--an evocation of the mythology of the quintessential modern metropolis, which has much to say not only about New York's past but about the present and future of all cities.
Luc Sante was born in Verviers, Belgium, and now lives in New York City. He is the author of Evidence, The Factory of Facts, and Walker Evans, and his work has appeared in The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, and Harper's, among other publications. He teaches writing and the history of photography at Bard College.

Smugglers, Bootleggers, and Scofflaws: Prohibition and New York City
Ellen NicKenzie Lawson
Uses previously unstudied Coast Guard records for New York City and environs to examine the development of Rum Row and smuggling in New York City during Prohibition.
With the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, "drying up" New York City promised to be the greatest triumph of the proponents of Prohibition. Instead, the city remained the nation's greatest liquor market. Smugglers, Bootleggers, and Scofflaws focuses on liquor smuggling to tell the story of Prohibition in New York City. Using previously unstudied Coast Guard records from 1920 to 1933 for New York City and environs, Ellen NicKenzie Lawson examines the development of Rum Row and smuggling via the coasts of Long Island, the Long Island Sound, the Jersey shore, and along the Hudson and East Rivers. Lawson demonstrates how smuggling syndicates on the Lower East Side, the West Side, and Little Italy contributed to the emergence of the Broadway Mob. She also explores New York City's scofflaw population—patrons of thirty thousand speakeasies and five hundred nightclubs—as well as how politicians Fiorello La Guardia, James "Jimmy" Walker, Nicholas Murray Butler, Pauline Morton Sabin, and Al Smith articulated their views on Prohibition to the nation. Lawson argues that in their assertion of the freedom to drink alcohol for enjoyment, New York's smugglers, bootleggers, and scofflaws belong in the American tradition of defending liberty. The result was the historically unprecedented step of repeal of a constitutional amendment with passage of the Twenty-first Amendment in 1933.
Ellen NicKenzie Lawson is a retired professional historian and the editor of The Three Sarahs: Documents of Antebellum Black College Women (transcribed with Marlene D. Merrill). She lives in Loveland, Colorado.
Murder & Mayhem in Mendon and Honeoye Falls: "Murderville" in Victorian New York
Diane Ham
The notorious history of two nineteenth-century hamlets in western New York, famous for an era of bustling commerce—and criminality.
The Town of Mendon and the Village of Honeoye Falls are today quiet western New York suburbs, but they weren't always so idyllic. In years past, the village was a center of commerce, manufacturing and railroads, and by the mid-nineteenth century, this prosperity brought with it an element of mayhem. Horse stealing was commonplace. Saloons and taverns were abundant. Street scuffles and barroom brawls were regular, especially on Saturday nights, after the laborers were paid. By Sunday morning, numerous drunks—like Manley Locke, who would eventually go on to kill another man in a fight—were confined to the lockup in the village hall. It was at this time that the Village of Honeoye Falls earned the name "Murderville." As the town and village turn two hundred, join local historians Diane Ham and Lynne Menz as they explore the peaceful region's vicious history.

Murder & Mayhem on Staten Island
Patricia M. Salmon
New York City's own Lizzie Borden, and eleven other true crimes "as ghastly as anything in American Horror Story" (SILive.com).
Today, Polly Bodine's name is lost to history. But on Christmas night of 1843, she was accused of murdering her sister-in-law and infant niece in ways so heinous that the great showman P.T. Barnum, proclaimed her "The Witch of Staten Island." Even Edgar Allan Poe weighed in on the female fiend, fearing she'd escape justice. He was right. Polly was tried three times, finally acquitted, and disappeared into anonymity—and legend—until her death fifty years later.
Her story is just one of a dozen horrific murders unearthed by historian Patricia M. Salmon in this fascinating peek into the gruesome history of the New York borough. Among the other headline-making cases: The Baby Farm Murders, The Jazz Age Kiss Slayer, The Body in the Barrel, and more. These turn-of-the century tabloid tales of serial killers and psychopaths, love gone wrong, cold-blooded revenge, and unsolved mysteries are still the stuff of nightmares.
Wicked Niagara: The Sinister Side of the Niagara Frontier
Lorna MacDonald Czarnota
Born of glaciers and turbulent waters, wars and struggles of native peoples, Niagara was powered by the dreams of men and women seeking refuge in a new land. Yet for all its rare beauty and rugged pioneering spirit, the Niagara region has sometimes drifted into shadows, affording its seedier citizens the cover they needed to do their dastardly deeds. A plot to invade Canada, a Mafia stronghold, madness, murder and savagery all lie hidden in the region's past. From the blood-soaked grounds of battle, local storyteller Lorna MacDonald Czarnota brings Wicked Niagara and grim tales of the region's early struggles into the light.
Wicked Georgetown: Scoundrels, Sinners and Spies
Canden Schwantes
Georgetown has long been home to the most affluent and influential residents of the capital--but it has also played host to its fair share of high-end misdeeds and wickedly amusing scandals. Culprits range from Confederate spies to the prankster students who stole the clock hands of Georgetown University's Healy Hall, while crime scenes include murder on the C&O Canal and floating brothels on the Potomac. Navigating her way through Cold War-era intrigues and the true-ish story of an exorcism, author Canden Schwantes guides readers through the tawdry and downright devilish side of Georgetown.
The Factory of Facts
The acclaimed author of Low Life reinvents the memoir in a cunning, lyrical book that is at once a personal history and a meditation on the construction of identity.
Born in Belgium but raised in New Jersey, Luc Sante transformed himself from a pious, timid Belgian boy into a loutish American adolescent, who eschewed French while fantasizing about the pop star Françoise Hardy. To show how this transformation came about--and why it remained incomplete--The Factory of Facts combines family anecdote and ancestral legend; detailed forays into Belgian history, language, and religion; and deft synopses of the American character.
George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution
Brian Kilmeade
*Now with a new afterword containing never-before-seen research on the identity of the spy ring's most secret member, Agent 355
"This is my kind of history book. Get ready. Here's the action." —BRAD MELTZER, bestselling author of The Fifth Assassin and host of Decoded
When George Washington beat a hasty retreat from New York City in August 1776, many thought the American Revolution might soon be over. Instead, Washington rallied—thanks in large part to a little-known, top-secret group called the Culper Spy Ring. He realized that he couldn't defeat the British with military might, so he recruited a sophisticated and deeply secretive intelligence network to infiltrate New York.
Drawing on extensive research, Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger have offered fascinating portraits of these spies: a reserved Quaker merchant, a tavern keeper, a brash young longshoreman, a curmudgeonly Long Island bachelor, a coffeehouse owner, and a mysterious woman. Long unrecognized, the secret six are finally receiving their due among the pantheon of American heroes.
"Dawdler." "Layabout." "Shit-heel." "Loser." For as long as mankind has had to work for a living, which is to say ever since the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, people who work have disparaged those who prefer not to. Mark Kingwell's introductory essay offers a playful defence of the idler as homo superior, while Joshua Glenn's glossary playfully explores the etymology and history of hundreds of idler-specific terms and phrases, while offering both a corrective to popular misconceptions about idling and a foundation for a new mode of thinking about working and not working. The Idler's Glossary is destined to become The Devil's Dictionary for the idling classes, necessary reading for any and all who wish to introduce more truly "free" time into their daily lives.
Kill All Your Darlings: Pieces 1990-2005
In his books and in a string of wide-ranging and inventive essays, Luc Sante has shown himself to be not only one of our pre-eminent stylists, but also a critic of uncommon power and range. He is "one of the handful of living masters of the American language, as well as a singular historian and philosopher of American experience," says the New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl. Kill All Your Darlings is the first collection of Sante's articles—many of which first appeared in the New York Review of Books and the Village Voice—and offers ample justification for such high praise. Sante is best known for his groundbreaking work in urban history (Low Life), and for a particularly penetrating form of autobiography (The Factory of Facts). These subjects are also reflected in several essays here, but it is the author's intense and scrupulous writing about music, painting, photography, and poetry that takes center stage. Alongside meditations on cigarettes, factory work, and hipness, and his critical tour de force, "The Invention of the Blues," Sante offers his incomparable take on icons from Arthur Rimbaud to Bob Dylan, René Magritte to Tintin, Buddy Bolden to Walker Evans, Allen Ginsberg to Robert Mapplethorpe.
Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Faimly, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt
The National Book Award–winning biography that tells the story of how young Teddy Roosevelt transformed himself from a sickly boy into the vigorous man who would become a war hero and ultimately president of the United States, told by master historian David McCullough.
Mornings on Horseback is the brilliant biography of the young Theodore Roosevelt. Hailed as "a masterpiece" (John A. Gable, Newsday), it is the winner of the Los Angeles Times 1981 Book Prize for Biography and the National Book Award for Biography. Written by David McCullough, the author of Truman, this is the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood: an amazing metamorphosis seen in the context of the very uncommon household in which he was raised.
The father is the first Theodore Roosevelt, a figure of unbounded energy, enormously attractive and selfless, a god in the eyes of his small, frail namesake. The mother, Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt, is a Southerner and a celebrated beauty, but also considerably more, which the book makes clear as never before. There are sisters Anna and Corinne, brother Elliott (who becomes the father of Eleanor Roosevelt), and the lovely, tragic Alice Lee, TR's first love. All are brought to life to make "a beautifully told story, filled with fresh detail" (The New York Times Book Review).
A book to be read on many levels, it is at once an enthralling story, a brilliant social history and a work of important scholarship which does away with several old myths and breaks entirely new ground. It is a book about life intensely lived, about family love and loyalty, about grief and courage, about "blessed" mornings on horseback beneath the wide blue skies of the Badlands.

Albert Camus: The rise of a literary icon
This week, we're putting the focus on Nobel Prize-winning French author Albert Camus. As 2020 saw France mark 60 years since his death in a car crash, Camus's seminal work "The Plague" was unexpectedly thrust back into the spotlight by the Covid-19 pandemic. From the UK to Japan, the 1947 novel established itself as a global sensation, topping sales charts and pushing publishers into a rushed reprint. But Camus's prolific and multi-faceted career extends far beyond this viral hit. We tell you more about the author's life, starting with his humble beginnings in French-ruled Algeria.

Unified Payment Interface (UPI) transactions have become immensely popular. In 2018, its volume increased by 400%. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is focussed on updated the BHIM app and had recently launched UPI 2.0 with features such as increased transaction limits, overdraft account and more.
The latest feature added to BHIM app is the one-time mandate feature that allows you to schedule payment for a future date. It is a great feature for merchants, businessmen, and loan payers. It is very useful for people who require making an auto payment of rent or EMI. Some amazing benefits of this feature include fixing a maximum limit for the payment, blocking an amount for scheduled payment to a later date, earning interest of the blocked/saved amount and with just a single approval you can approve one-time mandate request from a merchant. You can even modify the UPI mandate.
There are some rules to be followed for using UPI one-time mandate.
Check the new UPI Mandate displayed below the Bill Pay option.
See the four tabs — My Mandates, Create, Scan, and Gift.
Tap on Create to select the UPI contact or add a new UPI ID you need to send money.
Enter the amount to be transferred and frequency is set by default to one time.
Select the validity of the mandate i.e. start and end date.
Add remarks to have a record of where the funds are getting transferred.


Innisfree charges very high admission fee and term fees. Over 2 years the term fee is almost doubled. The facilities are not in par with the fee/admission fee that they charge. For instance they have only 2 small toiltes for the entire school,there is no safe fencing around the school. Also the non teaching/teaching staff is very RUDE. Parents are not allowed to talk to management(Bolar,principal) if they have any concerns. This school has very similar ICSE X class results like any other schools around this area and don't see any extraordinary results compared to the fees that they collect.We discontinued our kid from this school and joined her in an other school on Bannerghatta raod and we are very happy with this new school.Compared to Innisfree it is better in many ways.
Innisfree school filters children from a young age and makes them feel unworthy of life - i know one child who was asked to leave in the first std! Imagine the plight of the child and the parents. This child has not yet come to terms with herself. Only the naturally academic oriented kids are encouraged in all aspects and the school takes their credit! My child is highly creative, bubbly and above avg is studies. She was turning into an introvert and started having aversion for education and teachers. We removed her at the right time and are very happy with this move.
the school is excellent . there are only 25 students in a class.
How is Innisfree House School in J P Nagar?
which is the best school?


Happy New Year and with the turning to a new calendar year, comes many traditions of forecasting . As this winter gets firmly established, placing us in its icy grip, the weather is not what I am about to forecast. I thought it would be more fun to talk about forecasting of colour, and believe it or not, this is Big Business as it translates to what motivates people to purchase, everything from fashion, to home décor, lifestyle and Yes even in gardening!
The Pantone Colour Institute out of the U.S. is a consulting service that forecasts colour trends and advises companies on colour in brand identity and product development – it is global marketing machine and once a year this Institute chooses a colour of the year. Looking forward to the future , engendering creativity and ingenuity, Pantone's 2018 colour of the year is Ultraviolet .
According to Pantone, ultraviolet is a colour that " communicates originality, and visionary thinking". It renders too, almost a cosmic image or a mystical feel, and many who look to the heavens may ponder if one day we may live beyond this planet we call Earth , given the fight for resources we wage everyday. It will take creative ideas to ensure that day does not come too soon, or alternatively, that we get there safely – ultraviolet personifies in colour, this type of "out of this world" thinking.
If you are like me and love to press the reset button on your garden plans with a new gardening season ahead , I will be looking to incorporate this colour into our outside spaces, ( because here in 2017 we had our fill of red and white). Expect that a hot selling plant this year will be Petunia Headliner Night Sky , whose blooms are the poster plant for this year's colour with its vibrant purple- blue hue and Milky Way starry white blotches, and our favourite Supertunia Bordeaux. As gardeners, it may become a goal to incorporate more purple – blue plants either through flower colour or foliage in a garden bed, or container. Check back for future blogs on plants that we will be growing this season that will provide that pleasingly purple look to keep your outdoor spaces right on trend.
Purple will show up more in our foods that we eat as well, and according to the 2018 Garden Media Group report, purple veggies, high in anthocyanins, are all the rage – beets, purple cauliflower, purple kale, cabbage, eggplant and blackberries will have "foodies" on the lookout to deepen the colour on their plates.
Purple is often a colour embraced for its artistic symbolism, think musician Prince or David Bowie. And a a colour that suggests mindfulness, a pleasingly private place that many people will seek out, to escape from our overstimulated, techno – crammed world. Our need for "breathing room" is becoming more important today, and it is this mindfulness that is" top of mind" for 18-34 year olds who are now making mental health a priority, as published in the 2018 Garden Media Report. Again this is truly important and interesting stuff, and something that will be discussed in a future blog, and how gardening both indoors and out, has captivated this demographic to achieve this end.
So if you did not know how important colour is to our societal conscience, just observe how purple will parlay its way into all forms of media over the coming months – after all, with all of this wintry white, we are buried in now, it may be nice to envision a bit of colour as we put another log on the fire.


High administration and translation fees are discouraging European companies from filing patents, reveals a survey by the European Patent Office in Munich (Germany). The EPO is keen to reduce the costs of patenting, particularly as small- and medium-sized companies have filed ever fewer patents in recent years. Fees are lower in the US (USPTO), Japan (JPO) and through national patent offices in Europe. The average cost of an EPO patent, including translation and administration fees is DM 45,510 ($32,000) says Nature (May 25th, 1995).

Q: How do I change a table value in daisyui? I have the following table, made with daisyui and tailwind. category.urgency holds a boolean value, true/false.
Is there any way to change the boolean value once it is clicked (eg from true to false)?

            Category
            Urgency

          {#each categories as category, i}

              {i+1}
              {category.name}
              {category.urgency}

          {/each}

I have trouble changing this value. on:click doesn't work as it is table data.

A: It's not a great idea to do on:click events on non clickable elemnents like td or div. Svelte warns you about this too.
It would be better to wrap the category in a button element.
Example: https://svelte.dev/repl/581b2f9931ce480584f0aa868f937904?version=3.55.0

Best Song Ever performed live?
Post subject: Re: Best Song Ever performed live?
This is an impossible exercise that changes on a daily basis.
"Disease of Conceit on piano, London, February 1990 is a candidate"
Full disclosure : this thread was the result of an accident.
I smoked a joint yesterday at work and then decided to do a political thread on the new war on pot by the Trump/Sessions crime syndicate. As I was at work, I moved a little too fast and after I posted the thread(it was good!), I realized I had posted it in this section - the general discussion. I tried to delete it but could only erase the title and content, and as there is a small window of time to edit it, I had to quickly think of new easy thread to replace it with - bingo, this is it.
Worked out nice though - have seen a few videos that are terrific! My favorite so far is one Dylanswife posted - the "Pressin' On" one - superb!! The Japanese concert with the full symphony orchestra on "Hard Rain" was a pleasant surprise too.
And of course, this is an exercise in recycling - there have probably been ten threads on this subject. However, can one have too many great live Bob videos? Me thinks not.
"I make more mistakes in a day than most people are willing to deal with in a lifetime," Kamen said. "I learned a long time ago it doesn't matter how many times you fall down as long as you stand up one more time than you fell down, you're doing just fine."
Such an incredibly personal song!
I cannot fathom the damage to one's brain that would be necessary to agree with that... Or anything from that era. Most anything from the Gospel tours would be infinitely better candidates and of course, the Never Ending Tour probably has over 4,000 to 5,000 songs one could argue as the greatest song performed live.
Go back and listen to the guitar intro (!) and the vocal delivery of Just Like A Woman from a good 1966 show.
The gospel tours? Good Lord. I can't stand being preached at.
"Mama You´ve Bin On My Mind" from the 1992 fall tour!
Go back and listen to the guitar intro (!
Good call for the live Bitter End rendition. Right up there with Idiot Wind for me.
Finally someone throws down a real contender.
^ For the most self-pitying song ever performed live?
Why should he be allowed to feel a love he's about to abandon?
Do you mean Bob's best song he's performed live?
'Cause to me Desolation Row is Bob's greatest song, which would be the best song ever performed live.
Or is it best performance of a song live?
'Cause then I'd maybe pick a song that's had an ever-changing arrangement and lyric swapping.
-> best live performance ever: sometime in May 1966, RAH 1, Manchester,..
I believe two more that should be thrown into the mix are the Newport performance of Chimes Of Freedom and a modern choice of the 2004 Sam Cook tribute at the Apollo Theater, A Change Is Gonna Come. ... Both have been long term go-to's in my world. ... Also, same goes for the vevo offered 75 Tangled & the Masked & Anonymous Cold Irons Bound.
.... Then there's the '75 Isis & Romance In Durango ..... Then there's that 80's one from that Gershwin tribute & that Dignity from MTV Unplugged .... Ect.
Any one of these from the March 20, 2004 show in Toronto with Freddy Koella and Larry Campbell on guitars. The five songs were done in succession and are without question the best series of songs Bob has ever performed in a row. Even though there was a sound problem with Bob's mic for All Along the Watchtower it is the best performance of the song in this planetary system ever recorded.
This is at the top of my list too. Also, the acoustic Visions of Johanna from the '66 tour. Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts in '76--oh, wait, haven't heard that one. One more: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning, Clarkston, MI, July 14, 2013 was a really good one.
Disease of Conceit on piano, London, February 1990 is a candidate, in my opinion (assuming the thread is about the best performance of a song, live; as opposed to the best song per se that he has performed-which might imply the best song performed atrociously).
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. Biograph.
I am infinitely more a NET fan but this is just something else.
There's a phenomenon on ER that you often see exhibited in middle management, where individuals have to display (quite vocally and publicly) how they are adding value. After all, if you just say 'yeah, I agree'....why...anyone can do that. Posters here aren't even good at coming up with plausible alternatives. It's as if they were charged with reviewing Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and changed 'four score and seven' to 87.


Skarsgard happened to be in Los Angeles auditioning for unrelated roles when he was given the opportunity to audition for Pennywise. He showed up without any makeup and believed the audition went well. Sure enough, Skarsgard found himself as one of the final four contenders for the part. Still, it would take a callback while wearing make up, a screen test, and sending in a self-tape once he was back in Stockholm before landing the infamous part. "I was equally as excited as I was terrified when I booked the job because now these people expected me to pull it off. It was a nervous time," he admitted.
To prepare, Bill experimented with makeup and costumes, and he consulted with a clown coach. Knowing his character feeds on fear and detests children, he decided to portray "It" with animalistic and childlike physicality. He delved into the dark recesses of his mind attempting to play an entity that enjoys doing evil. "I think I've gone through every sort of emotion on the way of prepping for this character–sort of terror and doubt and excitement," he said.
Skarsgard comes from a large acting family. His father is Stellan Skarsgard who starred in Good Will Hunting opposite Robin Williams. Of the eight kids in the family, four of them including Bill have gone on to become actors thanks to the encouragement of their dad. While movie goers see Bill dressed as a horrific clown, his older brother, Alexander, sees something quite different.
Bill was understandably concerned that he might be traumatizing the child actors with whom he shared gruesome scenes. Fortunately, the children describe him as a "really nice guy in real life." But they do admit that it was "really, really terrifying" to perform in scenes together. Probably safe to assume they won't want clowns to perform at their future birthday parties.
Bill Skarsgard's previous roles include the sci-fi film Allegiant and the Netflix horror series Hemlock Grove. And it should be no surprise he's currently working on a number of projects including the film Assassination Nation and Hulu's psychological horror web series Castle Rock.


I'm feeling a little withdrawn today. It's an unusual feeling for me as I am constantly yapping away and engaging others. I've talked to NYC roaches for God's sake. Mostly yelling while I'm spraying them to death with Raid.
But I know this stillness is good for me. So many things are changing. My life is evolving. For the first time, I know where I am going, even though the road is unclear.
Los Angeles in July. That's where I will be.
After? Who knows. I do know it will be freeing and that I am confident in my path wherever the next place may be. There's something about this new adventure, packing my bags and going out West that just feels right.
So, as I sit here, in the stillness, I embrace what is to come. So much has occurred already in 2012. So much is happening behind the scenes that I have yet to share.
Mami always said to keep the big things to myself.
El mal de ojo is real.
So, I embrace the quiet. It is quite different. So refreshing. It is needed. Because soon I will live out loud.


The Architectural Digest Design Show is currently ongoing. The fair is held from March 16th to 19th in New York City at Piers 92/94. For this 16th edition, more than 400 brands are covering all parts of the home from the living room to the kitchen through the bathroom. I am attending my first trade show in the city. Let's have a closer look at it!
In all kind of BtoB shows, you will always need to unearth the nuggets. But before focusing on my selection, the AD Apartment caught people's attention while I was expecting more consistency and harmony. The working space embraces a minimalist aesthetic close to a Scandinavian style that I appreciate, but unfortunately the overall does not have a real identity. Even though I seem to talk about appearance only, I am still learning about the differences between each material which I am honestly not an expert in… yet.
Ronbow showcased this super-instagrammable sun mirror that everyone is looking for nowadays. But what makes it different is the intensity of the LED that you can regulate by touching the circle. Part of the Amora collection, the storage under the sink features a puzzled aspect in a stunning navy blue color. Back to 2016, the brand won the Good Design Award for its Vento collection. Its mirror integrates Bluetooth to pair with any smartphone to play music while taking a shower. In addition, the lighting can be turn on and off by a no-touch sensor system. Next comes Workstead. This lighting company also focuses on architectural and interior design as well as furnitures and bespoke projects. The lamps are amazing and quite similar to what I've seen in Nordic countries in Europe – but they are American. Combining brass and marble with greeneries is very in vogue at the moment! When I was wandering through the alleys, the Love Happens Lounge by Koket stroke me. The dark salon has this intimate feel where men and women could enjoy some wine and discuss about life.
Moving on into DIFFA Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS. DIFFA's Dining By Design features top of the notch table installations. Blue Ocean Design & Charleston Limewash opted for neutral tones mixing tableware looking like shells and knots that are either tied around curtain-like stools or sailor inspired. I'll let you choose. The whole creation makes sense and the color range matches perfectly the big idea.
Ralph Lauren Home's table is so American and jet-set like. With a blue, white and red choice, nothing really surprising. Nevertheless I won't ignore the fact that there is a joyful vibe. While the New York School of Interior Design plays around with geometrical rectangles, stretched silhouettes and a modern plastic Japanese style futuristic/robot-like general impression, Twyla presents Edward Granger is all about dusty pink and off-white. The set-up remains very feminine and delicate with a touch of Asian feel.
Rockwell Group with Ovando and Gensler + KNOLL both bet on a blend between ultraviolet and green plants which is quite interesting. One would look more like a fantasy desert and the other, a surreal life appearance. There is a story to tell when I look back on these pictures. Supernatural? Somehow.
Fancy a meal upside down? Pratt Institute plays with neons and a disco ball somehow referring to night life. School competition seems harsh! Parsons The New School for Design relies on an abstract concept: all white everything at the borders of anxiety. The creative process remains very impressive which is closer to art work than anything else. In a total different atmosphere, The New York Times designed by Liaigre with Douglas Little highlights mountains and mountains of glasses. You wouldn't want to get too close, we never know… Last but not least, a masterpiece, very conceptual, imagined by Language Dept. named Design Within Reach. It is an invitation, a welcome to nature, into the woods, somewhere hidden in the flora, where life is at the epicenter of all interests.
Eventually all of these set-ups demonstrated a confirmed level of creativity that kept me silent with sparkling eyes. I would've loved to hear all the designers telling about their inspiration and stories. Well, I guess my imagination helped me quite a bit. That was a wrap! Until next time!

The FARMERS School is a ToT platform which offers 16 modular courses on rice-based integrated farming and marketing to boost the training capacities of agricultural extension workers, local farmer technicians, and farmer leaders. Each module was developed by assigned partner agencies as expert contribution to the project. The development of the ToT modules was based on the adult learning framework of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) as part of the private sector's contribution to the project.
IFC's adult learning approach builds on the learning cycle of adult learners as crucial aspects in the training to optimize learning. It offers a facilitation guide in conducting training or a meeting based on the four-quadrant learning cycle – GLOSS, EASE, FEED, and OFF. GLOSS stands for Get attention, Link topics to experience or knowledge, learning Outcomes, Structure or outline of the topic, and Stimulate interest; EASE, Explain, Activity, Summary, and Examples; FEED, Frame positive intent, Evidence, Effect, and Diagnosis; and OFF, review Outcomes, Feedback, and Future link.

While publishers visiting from abroad are delighted by the level of traffic at BEA, there is a growing chorus of disapproval that the show was cut from three days to two without consultation with overseas publishers and without offer of a refund. The discontent is fueled by what's perceived to be a lack of clarity on the Web site (which refers to a three-day event) and elsewhere as to what precisely is happening when. Some publishers arrived for meetings Tuesday only to find they were unable to gain access to the floor without an exhibitor pass.
Sara Ballard, deputy managing director and rights director of Amber Books, has been coming to BEA for 15 years. She and her colleagues would normally have back-to-back appointments for two-and-a-half days, which left sufficient time for follow-up meetings and for the Amber team to walk the floor. "Now it's very intense. There is no time for follow-up and no time to wander," she said. Indeed, a number of publishers reported being unable to find a slot for all those who wanted a meeting, let alone accommodate new clients. Bookshop buyers were similarly time-strapped.
In common with many others, Ballard feels that three full days are needed in order not simply to deal with existing partners and planned appointments but also to prospect for new clients. She is considering taking a table in the IRC as well next year but worried that having a presence in two places would simply confuse international clients. "And anyway you can't display your books up there. We spend a fortune shipping 200 books out and we want people to be able to see them." Moreover, the mid-week timing jacks up flight costs for those arriving from London: even in January, economy returns on both BA and Virgin were going for around £1,000, in part because the dates coincided with a school holiday, which puts pressure on seat availability which means airlines increase their prices.
With the exchange rate no longer as favourable for the British – a few years ago the pound bought almost two dollars – many said they would need to consider their options: "We are now starting to question whether it is worth continuing to exhibit as it has become extremely expensive for just two days' of meetings," said one publisher who declined to be named. Anne Dolamore of cookery specialist Grub Street , a long-time BEA stalwart, decided ahead of time that it wasn't, "especially since American publishers are buying diddly-squat".
The irony is of course that, with London buried under the ash cloud and many publishers scrambling to make late bookings for New York, BookExpo could really have cleaned up and perhaps whetted the appetite of new exhibitors for the years ahead. As it is, Reed Exhibitions may have played in to the hands of their sworn enemies – Frankfurt.

Q: django-ratings proving frustrating; need insight I've been trying for two weeks to implement the highly regarded django-ratings with zero success.
I've followed all directions, which are not that detailed, and cannot figure out how to actually present a means for a user to submit a rating with the template.
There are no directions on how to load template tags associated with it, so it resulted in errors. After looking through the code, it appears "ratings" was the proper way to load the tags within the template, so I employed that.
I added 'djangoratings' to settings.py.
The following to my model:
    rating = RatingField(range=5)

I also did the following to urls.py:
from djangoratings.views import AddRatingFromModel

url(r'rate-my-post/(?P<object_id>\d*)/(?P<score>\d*)/', AddRatingFromModel(), {
    'app_label': 'report',
    'model': 'story',
    'field_name': 'rating',
}),

Added this to the template:
{% rating_by_user user on story.rating as vote %}

And nothing appears. No means for the user to vote. Nothing.
I cannot figure out what may be wrong here and after two weeks of tweaking and trying different methods, nothing works.
If anyone has an idea of what is required to present some interface for a user to vote using this app, I would be extremely grateful.
This link to the app is here https://github.com/dcramer/django-ratings#rating_by_user

Раи́са Солтамура́довна Ахма́това () — чеченская советская поэтесса, Народная поэтесса Чечено-Ингушской АССР (1977), председатель Союза писателей Чечено-Ингушской АССР (1961—1983), председатель Верховного Совета Чечено-Ингушской АССР (1963—1985).

Биография
Родилась в семье рабочего 13 декабря 1928 года. В 1943 году окончила Грозненское педагогическое училище. В годы депортации, с 1946 по 1956 годы, работала учительницей в Казахстане. С 1956 году стала работать журналисткой. В 1958 году поступила на Высшие литературные курсы литературного института им. А. М. Горького.

Издавались и переиздавались десятки её книг. Она — единственная женщина, которая была удостоена звания «Народная поэтесса Чечено-Ингушетии». Впервые в чеченской литературе её героини были показаны как личности, активно участвующие в жизни общества. В цикле «Самое дорогое» (сборник «Откровение») Ахматова пишет о Родине, мире и дружбе. Её книги были изданы на языках многих народов СССР, а также были переведены на хинди, английский, французский, польский и немецкий языки.

Принимала активное участие в общественной жизни. Была председателем Союза писателей Чечено-Ингушской АССР (1961—1983), председателем Верховного Совета ЧИАССР (1963—1985), делегатом XXII съезда КПСС, участницей Всемирного конгресса за всеобщее разоружение и мир. Многие годы была членом Советского Комитета защиты мира. В последние годы своей жизни возглавляла республиканское отделение Советского фонда культуры.

Ряд исследователей предполагает, что полный архив (более 600 папок) её произведений был уничтожен во время Первой чеченской войны.

Награды
 орден Дружбы народов (02.01.1979)
 орден «Знак Почёта»
 медали

В искусства
В 1972 году Иван Бекичев создал скульптурный портрет Раисы Ахматовой.

Память

Q: Allow user only to change first digit This is my fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/foucpgkL/
<input type="text" value=""/>

I need to have my textbox containing same value as given i.e 000 not 0
Also I have requirement to allow user to edit only first digit.i.e user should only input like 100,200,500 and not like 123,110 etc.
How can I achieve this using jquery.
I am using Angular Js so angular directive could be best option.

A: var elem="000";
$('input').val(elem);
$(".text").keyup(function(){
    console.log($(this).val());
    $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0,1)+"00");
});

Demo

A: jsfiddle
var elem='000';
$('input').val(elem);
$("input").on('change',function(){
   $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0,1)+'00');
});

A: Try this:
<input type="text" value="" step="100" />

EDIT:
FIDDLE
My answer was not sufficent so I made a short fiddle.
HTML:
<input type="number" step="100" value="000" min="0" max="900" onchange="checkZero(this)">
JS:
function checkZero(input) {
    if (!parseInt(input.value)){  // if value is not in format "000", is "0" or 0
        input.value = "000";
    }
}
Use ng-model and ng-change. I suggest wrapping it in a directive. Feel free to ask for a snippet if you need.

A: I would suggest Jquery Mask for this
<input type="text" id="myInput" />

jQuery(function($){
  $("#myInput").mask("900",{placeholder:"000"});
}
