Lets Rock : Event recap
Just like that, it's all over. So what did we learn? Well first of all we learned that Steves Death was greatly exaggerated. At least Steve has a sense of humor about obituaries going out when they arent supposed to. But in Apple news, we learned were getting new iPod nanos in 8 and 16 gigs for $149 and $199 respectively, available in a rainbow of colors. They are all made of aluminum with glass screens.
The iPod touch was updated with an external speaker and built in Nike+iPod support for $229, $299, and $399 for 8, 16, and 32 gig models.An update to the iPhone firmware to version 2.1 is coming. Supposedly it will fix most of the issues users have been having with crashing apps, hour(s) long backups, and general bugginess. This is the thing I'm looking forward to the most, since there is absolutely no way I'm picking up an iPhone until they fix it.
Of course, with any iPod update comes a bright and shiny new version of iTunes. This event was no exception, and Steve seemed quite set on convincing the crowd that its new genius feature was as cool as he seemed to think it was. Apparently iTunes will now let you opt-in to a database of user generated song ratings and numbers of plays, as well as letting you see what other users who like your types of music tend to enjoy. It's neat, and quite a bit like Pandora.
They also added HD television shows to iTunes and announced the return of NBC, who I guess was really starting to miss the revenue that iTunes generated for them.One thing that surprised me was the way they have skewed the iPod touch and the iPhone. I was surprised to see them go so directly after the gaming companies by advertising the new touch as a gaming device. Though, I can't be surprised considering the ridiculous level of quality they showed off in some of these upcoming games. They absolutely give the PSP and the nintendo DS a run for their money if not surpassing them completely.I'm really curious to see if the mainstream gaming media will begin to embrace the iPod touch as a member of the console market alongside devices like the PSP. Certainly a lot of games have already been downloaded, and the amount of money floating around the App Store is nothing to sneeze over. I think gaming on the iPod touch and iPhone simply needs a great killer app something SO cool that it begins to drive units based on a piece of software alone. That will be the point at which Apple can begin to take hold of the mobile gaming market too. And considering the iPod touchs new tagline is the funnest iPod ever. You can bet your bottom dollar that they are aiming straight for it.
WEAPONS OF THE WORLD: The Rareness of Throwing Knives
Robots in Motion
and the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology are attempting to make humanoid robots move more like real people. "If robots are to become assistive to people, then they need to have the fluidity and flexibility that humans have," says Dr. Howard N. Zelaznik, a Purdue professor.
The aim is not only to create less mechanical-looking motion but also to design robots that can combine basic movements to perform tasks they have not been specifically trained to do. "Imagine that a tennis ball hits a bad piece of grass at Wimbledon," Zelaznik says. "How does the performer quickly and fluidly change his or her stroke?" Using the same type of equipment used to create human animation in movies, the team will put sensors on people's arms and legs to monitor movements in three dimensions. This way, they can track how people learn to perform simple tasks.
Advances in humanoid robot technology may come at a particularly opportune time, since a surge in these robots is expected. One of the best-known humanoid robots is Honda's Asimo, a semiautonomous, astronaut-like creation that greets guests at the Honda plant in Tokyo. And Kawada Industries in Japan recently introduced the HRP-2, a humanoid that can lie down and then get up.
Robot claw gives lie to ripping yarn of Jurassic
Park monsters
In the film Jurassic Park, the vicious velociraptors ran around terrorising everything in sight, ripping open other creatures with their sharp, curved claws. But now it turns out that these dinosaurs did not use their claws for cutting and slashing at all.
By making a robotic reconstruction of a dromaeosaur limb, the dinosaur on which the velociraptor was mostly based, scientists have shown that dromaeosaurs used their claws as tools for clinging on, embedding them into the flesh of their prey. Phillip Manning, from the University of Manchester, and his colleagues were asked to build a robotic reconstruction of a dromaeosaur limb for a BBC TV production, The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs, shown last month. Using a mixture of steel, aluminium, carbon fibre and Kevlar, with a hydraulic system to control movement, Dr Manning and his team built the robotic limb, basing it on information from fossilized dromaeosaur bones.
Using this disembodied limb, the scientists were able to test how the dromaeosaur used its claws. They publish their findings in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters today. First, they stretched chamois leather across a frame. "It cut through this no problem, but this wasn't a very realistic test," says Dr Manning.
Next they made things tougher and replaced the chamois leather with pig hide, and then finally with crocodile skin."The claw only managed to puncture the pig hide and, with the crocodile skin, which is probably the most similar to dinosaur skin, it just bounced off. Using the claw to slash would have been like me trying to disembowel you with a plastic spoon."But that did not mean this was not a strong creature. The dromaeosaur's tactic may have been to pounce on the back of its victim, gripping with its curved claws and ripping into the animal's throat with its sharp teeth, much like big cats.
Robots Move Into Corporate Roles What is a mobile robot? Think of a PC connected wirelessly with wheels on it. That's what it is, with motors connecting the wheels to the PC. Inside we have a server and a client [and] an off-board client, which we call the command and control system.What technology advances have made mobile robots more viable for business use? You can pull [the robot] out of the box, and you start the robot learning the building by driving it around with a joystick. As soon as it has learned the building and created a floor plan, it can drive around on its own. We could not have done that four years ago.
You sell the PatrolBot as a roving security device that includes audio, a navigational laser, a video camera and other sensors. Why would I use that in the enterprise? You would use a robot to increase reliability, to increase flexibility, to increase redundancy, to provide better situational awareness to the staff, to reduce risk to the staff and to save money.[PatrolBot] provides situational awareness to the other guards. To be looking at something and to see the floor plan, see where the robot is in the floor plan and what it's looking at perhaps from a 360 view and a pan-tilt-zoom view, that gives you what's called situational awareness.
How does PatrolBot find and interact with an intruder? The standard PatrolBot has two-way audio. It also has text to speech, and it can play WAV files. The video is pan-tilt-zoom, and we have a 360-degree camera. You can also get a configuration of the robot that will flash startle lights. One thing security loves is that you can see the people walking by the robot because of the laser, even in the dark. So you can see their footprints moving across the floor plan.
The robot can set up what's called a laser checkbox, and if anyone walks through this particular area, the robot will notify the guard. Some of the robots have some sort of access control system, a card reader or iris scanner on them. So they can say, "You must identify yourself now."And if you don't? Well, it has alerted central control, so if central control doesn't get an identifying tag, depending on the facility, all the doors can lock or someone can come racing down and get you.
What other tasks can it perform? For insurance purposes, you have to check tags on fire extinguishers and defibrillators to make sure that they are in operation. The robot can go there, automatically zoom in [and] take a high-resolution photograph. Each of those photographs is time- and location-stamped.If you have the system integration module, you can link up with a third-party control system. In that case, if it's integrated, the Honeywell alarm can call the robot to the door. Eventually you'll be able to follow the person, but now it just tells the person, "You must swipe your card." It can notify the alarm system of its location..
What role can robots play in the data center? Energy optimization, RFID reading for tracking servers and assets within the center, surveillance and troubleshooting, particularly in remote facilities. Also, you may have alarms coming from within the [computer monitoring] systems and the robot can be called automatically to go and investigate.Can it communicate with other IT systems? We've set ours up to communicate with text or XML via our ARCL command language. This is good because it's compatible with both embedded controllers and PCs. Many building-automation systems are functioning with embedded controllers.If you're going to use it for energy conservation,
It's got to be talking to the rest of the building, to your HVAC and the rest of the systems. To move around the building, it may have to talk to your elevators, to electronic doors.In the developer software that comes with it, there's a system integration module that uses simple text that just permits the system to send data into your security system or your Tivoli system or whatever. The interface development module takes things like the floor plan and allows you to export those and the video from the robot into your own application.What does it cost to buy, configure and maintain a mobile robot? It would start around $40,000.There is a 10% per year maintenance fee.
We recommend that you clean the laser cavity and the laser once a month. Quarterly, you should change the batteries and do some other cleaning.How do you envision these robots working with building-automation systems? People are most interested right now in energy optimization because energy is such an issue. The thing people like most is that the robot is moving in the middle of the space where people move. You're not going to hang six sensors in the middle of a hallway, but that's really where you want to know what the temperature is. That's why people like the robot. It goes where the people go.
What will be the next big thing in mobile robot technology? The forefront is in outdoor three-dimensional navigation. We are working on things like, How do I follow a road in a private facility?For the IT community, what they'll want is better manipulation [of objects]. Now we're doing some simple manipulation, what's called a one or two degree of freedom manipulation. Right now we can transport things, we can carry, we can sense, we can look. But being able to adeptly manipulate things is what the next challenge is.

How to Latin Dance
How to Combine Easy Samba & House Dance Moves
Learn how to combine easy samba and house moves with this Howcast Latin dance video.
Ashley: Hey, this is Ashley and Henry, and as part of our Latin fusion series we're going to show you how to combine a little bit of samba and a little bit of house.
Henry: That's how it goes.
Ashley: We'll show you first, and then we'll break it down. Starting with the right going across. One, a two, three, a four, spot, a six, seven, a eight. And a front and a back and a front, look, look, and roll. Yeah. Now let's break that down.
It's not as complicated as it seems. Basically, without any kind of hopping of the body we're just going to cross, one, step step, two, step step, and three, step step, and four, step step. Then we're going to take it front. Front lean your body with it, lean your body back, lean your body front. We're going to look to the back, look back to the front, and roll through the chest. Yeah.
Now the roll doesn't have to be big. It could be simple or just be a look. Roll your shoulders. Nod your head. Or you could make a big body roll.
When we make it a little bit more complicated we're going to find a rhythm where we're bouncing into the body, right. So relax. The knees are bent. We're going to cross. Keep the feet from turning. You want to make sure that you're not turning on the angle. You always want to imagine that you're in a little hallway and you're keeping your hips close.
One, and two, three, a four, five, a six, seven eight. And front and back and front, look, look, and roll. Yeah. Let's do it one more time, and then we'll show you what it'll look like when we face each other. Here we go. Six seven and one, a two, a three, a four, a five, a six, a seven eight and front and back and front look look, roll, six, seven, eight. Good.
So now we'll show you what that'll look like when you're facing...
Henry...But guys this bouncy part, that comes from the samba. So we have that little rolling thing going on. In samba they love to bounce so that's...
Ashley: ...And that's why the two are combined so well together. Because in samba you have the bouncing, but in house we also use jacking which comes from the same exact idea.
Henry: Yes. And with much more like sharper, but we're mixing up. Now, guys, here what we're going to do is we're going to do it with the left. We're going to reverse everything. So, all you need to do is start with the other foot and do everything to the other side, so we're working both sides, OK.
Ashley: It's like a mirror, so just make sure you're mirroring your partner. And we go one, a two, a three, a four, a five, a six, a seven eight and one and two and three, and roll. Yeah. And then you go into whatever dance you want to from there and continue with it.
So let's show you that with some music so we can dance along. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, front and back and front, five six seven eight. Good. Let's do it one more time. Five, six, seven and one, two, stay low, let the body stay relaxed, front and back and front, look, six seven eight. Good.
So there you have a basic way to combine samba and house together and have your Latin fusion.

STAGES OF RECESSION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN ICE-SHEET. THE
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE
[THIRD SERIES.]
ART. I.-Late Glacial or Champlain Subsidence and Reëleva
tion of the St. Lawrence river basin; by WARREN UPHAM. (With Plate I.)
The accompanying map (Plate I) shows the maximum area covered by the ice-sheet in the St. Lawrence basin and adjoining portions of the United States and southern Canada, with approximate outlines of the glacial boundary at successive stages of its retreat. The Champlain epoch or part of the Pleistocene period including these stages of glacial recession was begun and ended, respectively, by downward and upward epeirogenic movements. Ît comprised the time of departure of the ice-sheet, with many small and large glacial lakes temporarily formed by its receding barrier, and with marine submergence to hundreds of feet above the present shore lines. The Late Glacial subsidence appears to have been principally completed before the retreat of the ice and deposition of the Champlain lacustrine and marine beds; but the following uplift was in progress, advancing as fast as the ice receded, from the beginning to the end of Champlain time.* Indeed, considerable parts of the glaciated areas of North America and Scandinavia are still undergoing small and slow oscillatory movements, not having yet, during the short Postglacial period, fully reached isostatic repose.
* For a discussion of the part of this movement reëlevating the upper Mississippi region, the area of the glacial Lake Agassiz in the basin of the Red river of the North and Lake Winnipeg, and the country surrounding Hudson Bay, see the Journal of Geology, vol. i1, pp. 383–395, May-June, 1894. The dynamic causes of epeirogenic movements, and their relations to the Glacial period as the probable causes of both its beginning and end, are partly considered in that paper, but more fully in an appendix of Wright's Ice Age in North America, 1889, pp. 573-595, this Journal, III, vol. xlvi, pp. 114-121, Aug., 1893, and the Geol. Magazine, IV, vol. I, pp. 340–349, Aug., 1894.
Au. JOUR. Sci.—THIRD SERIES, Vol. XLIX, No. 289.—Jan., 1895.
Evidence from the Beaches of the Glacial Lakes in the St.
Lawrence basin. Well marked old channels of outflow are found extending southward, at the levels of the deserted beaches, from Lake Agassiz and from the glacial lakes which are now represented by the diminished, but still large, modern lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario, and Champlain. The ontlets prove that the great Pleistocene water bodies which occupied these basins were lakes, not gulfs or arms of the sea ; and the differential uplifts of the basins, increasing toward the central part of the area of the continental ice-sheet, show that no land barriers, but the ice itself in its retreat, held in these lakes on their northward sides.
The basin of the St. Lawrence during the glacial recession held successively, and in part contemporaneously, no less than eight important glacial lakes, distinguished by their different areas, heights, and places of outlet. They are named the Western Superior and Western Erie glacial lakes; Lake Warren, the most extensive, into which the two foregoing were merged; Lake Algonquin, the successor of Lake Warren in the basins of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior ; Lake Lundy, the glacial representative of Lake Erie ; Lake Iroquois, in the basin of Lake Ontario; Lake Hudson-Champlain ; and Lake St. Lawrence, into which the two last named became merged. The glacial Lake St. Lawrence, which is the only one of the series hitherto unnamed, extended over the Ottawa, Champlain, and St. Lawrence valleys previous to the melting away of the ice barrier, remaining latest in the vicinity of Quebec, by which event the sea, at a lower level than the former lake, was admitted to these valleys.
The Western Superior glacial lake.* - In the west part of the basin of Lake Superior the receding ice-sheet held a lake which outflowed southward through northwestern Wisconsin, across the present watershed between the Bois Brulé and St. Croix rivers. The highest shore line of this lake at Duluth is 535 feet above Lake Superior (which has a mean level 602 feet above the sea); on Mt. Josephine, about 130 miles northeast from Duluth, its height, according to leveling by Dr. A. C. Lawson,t is 607 feet; and at L'Anse and Marquette, Mich., 175 and 225 miles east of Duluth, it is found by Mr. F. B. Taylorf about 590 feet above the lake. The northeastward

uplift averages seven inches per mile; and the eastward ascent is approximately three inches per mile. The latest and lowest of the Western Superior lake beaches observed at Duluth, occupied by the "boulevard" or pleasure driveway, 475 feet above the lake, on the bluffs back of the city, appears to have an ascent of only about 35 feet in the distance to Mt. Josephine, showing that the uplift of the land was quite rapidly in progress while the ice front still maintained the lake at the St. Croix outlet. Not long after the glacial retreat passed eastward beyond Mt. Josephine and Marquette, this lake was lowered and merged with Lake Warren across the lowlands of the northern peninsula of Michigan. The vertical interval between the final stage of the Western Superior Lake and the level of Lake Warren shown by its earliest beach at Duluth was about 60 feet. Thenceforward the outlet of Lake Warren past Chicago carried away the drainage from the glacial melting and rainfall of the Superior basin.
The Western Erie glacial lake.* -Outflowing from the southwestern end of the Lake Erie basin by a large abandoned watercourse, which reaches from Ft. Wayne, Ind., where the St. Joseph's and St. Mary's rivers unite to form the Maumee, across the present watershed to the Wabash river, this glacial lake formed two distinct beaches, named by N. II. Winchell the Van Wert and Leipsic ridges, separated by a vertical interval of 15 to 20 or 25 feet. The upper or Van Wert beach, with its crest varying in altitude from 200 to 220 feet above Lake Erie (whose mean height is 573 feet above the sea), extends about 75 miles east to Findlay, Ohio, and nearly an equal distance northeast past Bryan, Ohio, to the vicinity of Adrian, Mich., if not farther. At Findlay the lake while forming this beach, as Winchell and Leverett have shown, was bounded on the north by the ice-sheet then forming the Blanchard moraine. The second or Leipsic beach of the Western Erie Lake, ranging in height from 190 to 210 feet, runs from Ft. Wayne eastward 175 miles to its termination, as described by Leverett, at the line of a later moraine close south west of

Organisations replicate military structures. A general sits atop a hierarchy focused on strategy, supported by lieutenants responsible for implementation. Yet this is the military structure in peace time. In times of war it transforms into a fluid set of connected crews taking real-time decisions in a dynamic context without waiting for permission from HQ. So why do organisations copy a structure designed for training rather than one designed for action?
'Conway's Law' suggests that organisations are 'constrained to design systems which are copies of the communication structures in these organisations.' In other words, form (the org. chart) follows function (how people actually communicate with each other). The General and lieutenants sit atop a peacetime hierarchy to train how to work within constraints on communication in times of war. But why do CEOs and senior managers sit aloofly atop their hierachies — even in times of 'war'?
Does leadership choose not to speak to people on the frontline?Fundamental changes in how we communicate represent a danger and an opportunity that the military is aware of: "Like war itself, our approach to war fighting must evolve. If we cease to refine, expand, and improve our profession, we risk being outdated, stagnant, and defeated" announced General Dunford, Marine Corp Commandant in 2015. Yet, non-military organisations remain wedded to 'peacetime military structures' despite the fluidity around them being more like a time of war than peace. Why?
Organisations are designed for power, not effectiveness. People continue to be 'promoted to their own personal level of incompetence' — a great sales person will be promoted to manager, but if they lack managerial competence they'll go no further. However, they won't re-join the 'ranks' either and the organisation not only loses a great 'soldier' but gains a mediocre lieutenant — increasing performance pressure on the entire organisation. People accept this misalignment between their own personal capabilities and role as this is where the power (and rewards) are.
Crews offer an alternative to entrenched hierarchyCrews differ from teams. They fluidly self-form (rather than being appointed by 'the Centre') to meet a defined need — then disband again once the objective is met. The 'process' of formation links members' identities (aptitudes and attitudes) with the specific roles to perform — the leader may be the one who has a particular capability needed rather than merely being the more senior in the hierarchy. Sales teams have been doing this for years: dividing into 'hunters' — who land a client — and 'farmers' — who nurture the relationship thereafter.
'Town Planners' who are no less brilliant as they industrialise things and take advantage of scale economies — you trust what they build.
These are silos: crucial to the rapid knowledge sharing and learning innovative and agile organisations require. Yet 'the Centre' today remains fixated on trying to destroy silos (despite a failure to do so everywhere) as they appear unaligned with the organisation (read: 'the Centre'). Rather than destroying this most effective knowledge transfer system (Sharepoint doesn't compare!) 'the Centre' needs to start creating the connections between silos to scale the breakthroughs these tight knit crews often make.
Pioneers start to develop brand new concepts on top of the platforms Planners have built — kick-starting the entire loop again.
If the 'Centre' needs to justify it's wage bill then it should concentrate on creating the conditions for crews to form, (think of 'scrubbing up' that cognitively activates surgeons) interact and develop each other — rather than breaking them down into atomised parts just to make them easier to control.The changing nature of how we communicate — where the entire world is inter-connected at essentially zero-cost — is changing the structure of human systems. How quickly organisations 'refine, expand and improve' their structures will distinguish those who succeed from those who quickly become 'outdated, stagnant and defeated'. Working with how people really are should become a priority. Disrupt yourselves before others disrupt you.

Angry Video Game Nerd (Episode 93)
Zelda 2 was one of the first most highly anticipated games back in the NES days, along with the likes of Super Mario Bros 3, but what happened? It isn't a bad game is it? Many fans were split by the decision of taking a beloved overhead adventure game and making it a side scroller.
In this episode the Nerd picks up his sword and shield to go on an adventure into Hyrule. We'll see the Nerd give his honest opinion on Zelda 2 as he fights to the end, but can he beat it? Watch him rage as he dukes it out with Moblins, collects bags of Pee, travel treacherous terrain and after all that get some "hot coffee" from grateful townsfolk.
Originally released in Japan in 1987 on the Family Computer Disk System and 1988 on the Nintendo Entertainment System in both America and Europe, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link was the first and only official side scrolling Zelda game in the series. Going on to become known as one of the worst, if not the worst Zelda games amongst fans due to its radical change and difficulty from the previous Zelda game.
Series creator Shigeru Miyamoto said in an interview that whilst he didn't think Zelda 2 was a "bad game", he thought that they (Nintendo) could have made it a better experience but were held back by hardware limitations. To this day the Zelda franchise has experimented with different ideas over the years, with Zelda 2 being one of the more drastic but necessary steps into making one of the most beloved franchises of all time.

Famous Musicians with Hearing Loss
Home/News/Hearing Loss Blog Posts/Famous Musicians with Hearing Loss
Get in tune with these talented music-makers who also experienced hearing loss.
Music and hearing are so closely intertwined that it can be difficult to imagine one without the other. But throughout history, many talented musicians with hearing loss harnessed their immense love of their craft as they continued to compose and perform incredible masterpieces despite their personal challenges. Here are a few notable music-makers with hearing loss who left their mark on the industry:
Christa Päffgen (stage name: Nico)

Find out more about each of these famous musicians with hearing loss below.
Classical Composer and Pianist | 1770-1827
Of all the musicians with hearing loss, this German maestro is perhaps the most well-known. The exact cause of Beethoven's hearing loss remains a mystery, but some theorists suggest lead poisoning, typhus, or possibly his habit of dunking his head in cold water to help him stay awake. His autopsy revealed a distended inner ear with lesions.
According to Beethoven's biography, his hearing loss symptoms began during his late 20s when he heard buzzing and ringing and noticed that some sounds were becoming increasingly difficult to hear. Even as his hearing slowly deteriorated over time, Beethoven resolved to live for and through his art, and devote all his energy to music. Rather than relying on his hearing, he would use his mastery of skill to feel vibrations and imagine how the composition of instrumental and voice tones would sound together. The results of this remarkable talent are reflected in his powerfully moving orchestral symphonies that remain classics of today.
In the last decade of his life, Beethoven was almost completely deaf, but he continued to produce some of his best work over this period, including his Ninth Symphony, which is regarded by musicologists as one of the chief accomplishments in the history of Western music.
Rock Singer, Songwriter, Musician| 1938-1988

Christa Päffgen, known by her stage name Nico, recorded vocals for three songs on one of the most pivotal albums of the 20th century, The Velvet Underground & Nico (listed as number 13 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time). Nico experienced deafness in one ear as a result of a perforated eardrum, and her hearing loss was so severe that it would sometimes cause her to sing off-key, prompting ridicule from her bandmates.
Instead of becoming discouraged, Nico used it to her advantage. Her uncanny and haunting vocal style proved profoundly influential to subsequent musicians. Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, The Cure, Morrissey, and Björk all cited Nico as a formative influence on their own musical inclinations.
Nico went on to have a highly successful career as a solo artist as well. She collaborated with many of the most prominent musicians of the latter half of the century, including Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, and Jimmy Page, before her death in 1988.
Rock Musician, Singer, Songwriter | 1945-present
Photo credit: The Who
Several members of English rock giants, The Who, developed hearing loss later in their careers. Their reputation for playing at incredibly loud volumes is well-known, and in fact, their London performance in 1976 was officially listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "Loudest Concert Ever."
The exposure to high decibel levels at these concerts has perhaps affected guitarist and singer, Pete Townshend, most acutely. He attributes the onset of his hearing loss to a 1967 performance where drummer Keith Moon detonated his own drum set using gunpowder. The explosion was so intense and in such close proximity that Townshend's hair was singed, and his hearing was permanently damaged. Over the years, Townshend learned how to deal with his partial hearing loss that included tinnitus and sought assistance from younger musicians and audio engineers to help him continue to record and produce music.
If you're attending a live concert or music festival, be sure to review these concert hearing protection tips to help protect yourself from noise-induced hearing loss.
Broadway, Pop, and Disco Singer and Songwriter | 1942-present
Photo credit: NPR
During a conversation with Barbara Walters in 1985, Barbra Streisand divulged that she has experienced tinnitus since the age of nine. The persistent high-pitched noise she heard as a result made her feel alienated from other children, and she tried to cope by wrapping scarfs tightly around her head.
Despite her challenges with hearing loss, Streisand went on to have an incredibly prolific career. She has been nominated for the Grammy Award an astonishing 44 times and won eight times. To this day, she is considered one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of the 20th century.
These famous musicians with hearing loss are only a few of the many who contributed their talents to the music industry for everyone to enjoy. While they each experienced personal challenges with hearing loss, these musicians never stopped pursuing their passions and will be honored for their talent and ambition for decades to come.

Q: How to verify text present with a special content using Selenium IDE? How can I verify that some text contains a particular word using regular expressions in Selenium IDE? For example-if our text is
 JavaScript Book

how can I detect it using
 JavaScript

with a regular expression?

A: Regular expressions aren't necessary here. Selenium-IDE's verifyText command can do this using wildcards, which are denoted by an asterisk (*). Example script:
open | http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/02_selenium_ide.jsp#verifying-page-elements
assertText | xpath=id('verifying-page-elements')/h2 | *Page*
assertText | xpath=id('verifying-page-elements')/h2 | *some text*

The first assertText passes, while the second does not.
If you do want to use a regex, the syntax becomes:
assertText | xpath=id('verifying-page-elements')/h2 | regexp:.*Page.*

Long back, there used to be an advertisement for steel which used to say 'There is a little bit of steel in everyone's life". Today this is true for technology. I can say from the moment we wake up we use technology, but that's not true, as we even use it during our sleep. There are sleep trackers to ensure how sound a sleep you get, tracker to measure how much water we drank in a day, how much calories we consumed, which route to take, what places to visit, where to eat, where to shop, hail a cab , book a bus/train/flight tickets, rooms, talk to family, find stars in the night sky and so on. There is no place without technology, in fact it has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe.
The child in us, which explored the insides of a radio and a clock, looks at these things with a lot of awe, but also an equal dose of bewilderment at the same time. Since adapting to use the technology for our needs is challenging enough, we often restrict our learning to the usage of the technology only. The grand iron curtain of haves and have nots in today's world is in this field of technology. On one side we have the extremely brilliant techies who are instrumental in bringing about this brilliant technologies to life. And then other side, well we have everybody else, the vast majority of people. This vast majority of people including early adopters and students of technology often get drowned in the wordy jargons of the technology world. Big Data, cloud, plugins, extensions, open source, not to mention more recently jelly bean, marshmallow, KitKat which have obtained new meanings lately.
On one hand, to be fair to the techies, jargons are generally shorter (in their mind may be simpler) description of an idea which may take many words to explain in plain language. So, on a day to day basis, a techie uses jargon to speak to others in his world of technology. However, on the other hand, even the most helpful and well meaning techie jargonises his explanation so much that the normal people give up sooner or later while trying to understand the behind-the-scene jobs.
Let me try and explain the predicament of both the sides with a simple example. A techie will often declare that s/he always backs up his/her data to the 'XYZ cloud' on a daily basis. It makes more sense for him/her to use the single convenient word 'cloud' instead of saying, 'a system of computers owned by company XYZ, from which they offer several gigabytes of storage space to you and me for our personal use'. However on hearing that word, a normal person looks up to the skies to try to find cloud XYZ and continues to look up to the sky to pray that a bolt of lightning should not burn his/her precious data, nor should a sudden unexpected shower send his/her data crashing to the ground.
My simple analogy to explain cloud storage would be that it is like a bank safety vault in which a customer locks away his / her valuables for safe-keeping. The valuables are yours, but the vault belongs to the bank and you entrust the bank with the job of keeping your valuables safe. This simple analogy and real world examples would help most people understand and appreciate technology and not continue to feign knowledge.
Why is this so important for a non-tech person to understand technology? It is not the prerogative of a techie to change this world for the better. Everyday I see non-technical people with great ideas who want to use technology as a tool in bringing their idea to life to change the world, e.g. students of technology who are afraid of asking the so called 'dumb' questions that are so pertinent to build the knowledge in the underlying technology and to answer the question 'What does this technology make possible'. Or take the case of doctors who Google Cardboard to visualise a complex operation before performing it on a 4-year old.
Another reason why a non-tech person should understand technology is to take informed decisions while investing in technology. Everyone buys phones, desktops and laptops and soon will be strapping on the latest wearables. Without understanding technology, it is difficult to recognise what key points to look for to select and reject among thousands, even millions, of products. Without the relevant knowledge, it is paralysing even to imagine which points are worth investing more money on and which features are just hype and worth saving money on. For instance, to buy a laptop, processor and RAM are the cornerstones on which no compromises should be made. Most of the time should be spent on researching which combination is best for your needs. Too little and you will have a slouch of a machine, freezing and hanging all the time. But too much and you will have a machine which is an overkill for your needs, like using a race car to go to the grocery shop less than a kilometre away. All other features like colour, display size and quality and sound quality can be considered as good-to-haves which can be tweaked based on your budget.
As a teen, I was deeply inspired by the late Michael Crichton. Here was a man, who wrote about nano technology, biomedical field and quantum physics in such simple language that inspired many budding students like me. His concepts created block buster movies and best seller books consistently. In fact some of these concepts like quantum physics was considered so complex that the genius of Einstein was unable to elucidate well enough to fellow scientists. Compared to this great man, here we are, jargonising simple and important technology, keeping millions away from reaching their potential and enabling them in changing the world for the better.
Technology is a vast subject. Too vast for one person to know and do everything. I do not claim so for myself. In fact, you have to be suspicious of anyone who claims so. But my self proclaimed love for technology as a tech smitten youth and a software professional has given me rich experience in this field for over a decade and this blog is my sincere endeavour to demystify technology and create a more inclusive tribe of people who are equipped to take better decisions and use technology to create a dent in the universe.

Chemistry Teacher Training invites people from a variety of scientific backgrounds. Whether you have worked in the chemical industry, or are a recent graduate in Chemistry (or in a degree with a substantial element of which is Chemistry, such as Biochemistry or Pharmacy) the course will allow you to develop your subject knowledge and pedagogy, ready to inspire young people in schools.
Chemistry is a core subject in Secondary Schools, forming one third of science taught to 11-16 year olds. Moreover, it is an exciting yet unique subject, as chemical ideas underpin everything that we know about the world, yet are not tangible and often cannot be seen. The use of practicals and demonstrations in a Chemistry lesson makes the subject stand out in young people's minds, and the OAKS course will allow you to discover the best way to use such practicals to flourish your individual classroom style.
These sessions are delivered by a Chemistry Subject Expert in Schools, therefore you are required to travel to Stafford for the delivery of these sessions.
o	successful completion of a minimum of 10 days teaching experience in a secondary school/college during the last two years. This could be either before or after selection (undertaking this before the selection process commences will strengthen your application).

The city of Seattle has chosen a new vendor to completely replace the bike share program it bailed out for $1.4 million earlier this year, and the new electric-assist fleet will likely cost about $5 million more.
It will begin negotiations with Bewegen, a Canada-based company that recently signed a contract to roll out the bikes in Baltimore.
"Some people look at it and say, 'You're throwing good money after bad.' How do you respond to that?" KIRO 7 asked SDOT's Transportation and Mobility director, Andrew Glass Hastings.
Related: Will Seattle officials be able to electrify struggling bike program?
"I'd say, give us a chance to see if we can come to a contract that really resets bike share in Seattle," he said.
He said if the city moves forward with the new system, the city would try to sell the equipment it purchased, which includes about 500 bikes and about 50 docking stations, to a college, a corporation with a large campus, or another city to try to recoup the costs.
The new bikes have electric motors that assist riders as they pedal. Some like the idea.
"It takes a lot of energy going up these hills, so why not just make it electric," Shawn Toor said.
"There's lots of data that shows that electric assist bikes are a more attractive bike share option for the common user," Glass Hastings said.
"OK, but not a study in Seattle?" KIRO 7 asked.
"I'll have to find out whether there's been a study done in Seattle," he said.
Glass Hastings said later that a study exists and that he will provide a copy of the study to KIRO 7 next week.
There are two financial proposals. In one, Glass Hastings explained, the city pays for the equipment but Bewegen assumes the financial risk. It would be responsible for operating costs, get the profits, and use 50 percent of the profits generated to further expand the system.
In the other, the city assumes risk but gets the profits, which Bewegen estimates at $600,000.
The city's goal was to roll out the new bike share system in summer of 2017, but depending on how long negotiations take, it could be much longer than that. Glass Hastings said SDOT does not plan to make the same mistake that Pronto did by launching in the fall. If summer 2017 does not work, he said the city would launch in the spring of the following year.
Glass Hastings said SDOT will need City Council approval before it can move forward.

27 monkeys were "humanely euthanized" on a single day ; Nasa reports revealed !!!
A total of 27 monkeys maintained by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) were slaughtered on a single day in 2019, as per the records accessed by the Guardian disclosed. The documents were acquired through a Freedom of Information Act plea. All the monkeys were "humanely euthanized" on February 2, 2019, at Nasa's Ames research center in California's Silicon Valley. The action has angered animal welfare campaigners. The monkeys were killed last year were more geriatric, and most of them had Parkinson's illness. They weren't utilized in any space missions or even for analysis. Rather, they were kept at the Ames facility in a joint care agreement between Nasa and LifeSource BioMedical a confidential drug research company leasing slot at Ames.
"Nasa does not have any non-human primates in Nasa or Nasa-funded facilities," a Nasa spokesperson told. Meanwhile, LifeSource BioMedical director Stephanie Solis stated that the company had decided to bring the monkeys years ago when their age and deteriorating health made finding a home for them unattainable.'We approved to obtain the animals, serving as a sanctuary and delivering all care at our own expense, until their advanced age and worsening health resulted in a determination to humanely euthanize to dodge the low grade of life,' she said.
She also said that LifeSource never executed any analysis on the animals. The news about Nasa killing 27 primates has initiated anger among animal rights activists. The US space agency was even criticized for its "obsolete behavior".An expert in animal ethics at the University of New Mexico as saying that the monkeys "were suffering the ethological deprivations and frustrations inherent in laboratory life".
The primates were "apparently not considered worthy of a chance at a sanctuary life. Not even a try? Disposal instead of the expression of simple decency. Shame on those responsible," Gluck said. Mike Ryan, spokesman for Rising for Animals the group that brought the freedom of information documents was cited by the Guardian as saying, "What tragic afterthoughts these lives were, Nasa has many strengths, but when it comes to animal welfare practices, they're ancient."This comes in disparity to the truth that a record 74,000 monkeys were used in n US research and experiments in 2017. But, the US withheld from using primates in experiments after. This directed to a shortage for testing potential Covid-19 vaccines.
"The number of monkeys used in U.S biomedical research reached an all-time high last year, according to data released in late September by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)," a report in Science Magazine, published in 2018, stated. The US first slew a monkey in 1948 in the name of space quest a full decade before Nasa's formation. Albert, a rhesus monkey, was embarked aboard a V2 rocket. He died of suffocation during his journey. Regardless, scientists said that it could enable them to learn about the physiological consequences of space travel, a report in Daily Mail conveyed. Another rhesus monkey, Albert II, survived his 83-mile-high rocket flight a year later but died after a parachute failure caused his capsule to hit down to Earth.

Language in Songwriting
In your songwriting, remember to first be musical. Use words in a way that enhances the emotion you are trying to communicate, not in a way that solves a philosophical argument or a Biblical interpretation problem. Leave that up to the professional scholars.
By Burke Ingraffia | February 23, 2021
Imagine there are two civilizations living in proximity to each other. Let's call one the Red People and other the Blue People. You see, they have agreed with one another to live side by side in peace, based on this simple premise: The Red People have a right to all of the things that are red, and the Blue People have a right to own all of the things that are blue. When a red object shows up in the Blue People's land, it is gladly turned over to the other side, its rightful owners, and vice versa.
One day there appeared an object that was purple. The trouble was, that the Red People did not have a word for purple, and neither did the Blue People. The Red People called the purple object red, and the Blue People called it blue. They tried having diplomatic debates about the true ownership of the purple object, and academic specialties grew out of this one problem. But without the word for purple there could be no resolution. In the end, the peace between the two civilizations ended when they went to war with each other to fight for the purple object, something that they both thought was rightfully theirs.
The specificity of language is very, very important to peace in the world. In theory, it is the job that lawyers do. Also, it is the job of theologians and philosophers. When we can rely on words to have an exact meaning, and when we have a larger quantity of nuanced and specific words that we can agree upon, it is a better and a more communicative world, one that is less likely to have to resort to violence and war.
In fact it is every person's civic responsibility to improve and expand his or her vocabulary. This not only includes listening to how words are being used in other neighborhoods and by other sub-cultures, but the root origins of words, how they were used historically, and how they relate to similar words that are cognate or share a similar etymology. When we don't actively improve our vocabulary, as individuals and as a people, we are passively contributing to the potential for violence. Overusing the words "awesome," "crazy," or "ridiculous," or replacing the word "you" with "u" in a text message will have negative consequences as this laziness snowballs into the future.
Much of our lazy language habits in the United States comes from the bombardment of advertising. Advertising marketeers know that they have to reach the widest audience of consumers (you read that right, they are not "people," they are "consumers"), and so advertisers are only going to use words that the lowest common denominator of people will understand. Their job is to communicate in the most simplified way to the largest quantity of people (rich, poor, educated, uneducated, etc), a positive image of the thing they are selling. Most of us who do not know how to actively listen or really care about active listening start to talk and think in the terms of these advertisers. So the scope and specificity of the words we are in the habit of using becomes smaller and smaller.
Songwriting is Different
Songwriting, like poetry, is not primarily about rational communication. Songwriting has to primarily connect with audiences emotionally. It has to be, simply stated, musical. Instrumental music can be so inspiring and beautiful and point towards God without using words. If you are going to add lyrical words to music, don't detract from that. Use words to enhance the music with imagery and ideas, but don't try to cram in philosophical treatises into melodies and song structures where the words don't fit pleasantly.
I'm going to demonstrate this with an example by a master of the simple acoustic folk song and a master of lyrics. His name is John Prine (r.i.p.), and he is most well-known for some of his songs such as Dear Abby and Paradise, but this particular song comes from his tune I Wish You All The Best.
The narrator of the song (and I don't always presume that the singer/songwriter is the narrator, who might be a fictional character in the song) is singing to a former love interest, saying he forgives her and wishes her the best, but how difficult that can be. Here's the verse:
I guess that love – is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree – you throw it in the yard
It decays and dies – and the snowmen melt
Well, I once knew love – I knew how love felt
The first line is a simile: "Love is like a Christmas card." However, in the following lines, he abandons this simile to describe how love is like other aspects of the Christmas season. The fact that there is not a rational connection and train of thought from line to line does not matter. John Prine uses the word "card" as a way to rhyme with "yard" in the next line, and it works beautifully. It is simple and makes for a pleasant, enjoyable, and memorable lyric.
It helps that John Prine's fan base knows that he is often silly and not exact and have come to expect that from him, but even for someone who is new to his songs, his writing is accessible and universal in a great way.
In your songwriting, remember to first be musical. Don't write anything blatantly evil and mean or words that hurt or harm people, but try to use words in a way that enhances the emotion you are trying to communicate, not in a way that solves a philosophical argument or a Biblical interpretation problem. Leave that up to the professional scholars.

The way we do, share and communicate science is changing. Science has never been more relevant to daily life, yet so often misunderstood, distrusted or even ignored. Meanwhile, swissnex San Francisco has identified a number of critical new trends in science communication and public engagement: immersive, two-way, visual, data-driven, decentralized, actionable, interdisciplinary, story-rich, fun, and live. It is our task at swissnex to ensure that Switzerland benefits and makes use of these trends in pursuit of the public understanding of science. This is particularly important in a country where people vote on highly complex scientific issues in a direct democracy.
The Pier 17 Science Studio is a fellowship that supports emerging talents in science communication and public engagement to develop new ideas, practices, and models aimed at building open dialogues around science, society, and the wider challenges facing us today. Fellows traveling from Switzerland spend up to three months working within swissnex San Francisco's new creative hub at Pier 17. They produce projects that are novel and interdisciplinary in nature, which both challenge and inform audiences. The program offers them exposure to the Bay Area's dynamism and creativity, an extensive network of local mentors and partners, visibility, and financial aid. We aim to spark a new generation of science advocates working to drive public dialogue and promote new ways of thinking about science.
Dedicated to Swiss-based participants, the Pier 17 Science Studio focuses on cross-disciplinary, collaborative approaches that take advantage of the Bay Area's ecosystem of science organizations, but also its technology, creative, artistic industries. Fellows have access to technical expertise to build a wireframe, or a tinkering studio to build a robot. They can meet with artists-in-residence at Autodesk's Pier 9 to discuss how design and art connect with technology and science. Scientists at UC Berkeley, journalists at Wired, designers at IDEO, developers at Google, and exhibit builders at the Exploratorium can help them develop their ideas. And at Pier 17, fellows can test their project with live audiences in our exhibition and event spaces, as well as discuss it with the various technologists, academics, entrepreneurs, and creatives sharing our offices. The focus of the program is exactly to foster exchange and innovation for the next step in science communication.

Maximum of 44 outputs for CA's upto 27 bits now confirmed. (which means that 25 and 27 have 44 outputs since the number cannot go down). I don't expect to finish processing 29. I don't think the answer would be a shock anyway.
The chips, known as Trusted Platform Modules, generally include a 16-bit microprocessor, a random number generator, hashing capabilities and a significant amount of non-volatile memory. Among the security features TPMs provide are an ability to generate and securely store digital certificates and private keys on-chip, hardware support for multiple authentication schemes and the encryption/decryption of files on demand.

According to information collected and reported in Dr. Sanjaya Kumar's book, "Fatal Care: Survive in the U.S. Health System," 98,000 people die annually due to hospital error. In the case of surgical errors, poor preoperative planning, lack of proper sterilization, surgeon negligence and wrong-site surgery are often to blame. Surgeons can make serious mistakes in all types of surgery, including organ transplants, LASIK eye surgery, gastric bypass, orthopedic surgery, spinal surgery and routine gallbladder removal.
At Tolmage, Peskin, Harris, Falick, our attorneys expose negligence on the part of surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists and orderlies in cases involving surgical errors. We review operating room (OR) video footage when available, the patient's vital signs charting, medical records, and communications between doctors and staff, as well as a doctor's schedule and work history. We look for signs of surgeon fatigue, miscommunication, deviations from standard treatment protocols and errors in judgment or technique that can constitute medical malpractice.
Suspect Surgery Malpractice? Call 866-502-9091 Today.
Don't let a doctor or hospital tell you that your medical complications or injuries are the result of inherent risks associated with the surgical procedure you had. Demand answers and accountability. Contact Tolmage, Peskin, Harris, Falick today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
Surgical errors often result in serious medical complications that lead to disfigurement, organ failure, infections and even death. At Tolmage, Peskin, Harris, Falick, our attorneys consult medical economists and life care planners in determining the financial impact of surgical errors on our clients. We take into account the cost of additional surgery that is often needed to correct surgical mistakes as well as the costs of hospitalization, medication and lost wages. In addition to compensation for financial losses, we seek compensation for the physical and emotional losses caused by medical malpractice such as permanent disability, pain, suffering and emotional distress. When gross negligence is evident, we may seek punitive damages as well.
When you go under the knife for surgery, you trust that skilled and qualified surgeons and medical staff will be taking care of your from start to finish. But if you are injured as a result of a surgical error, the results can haunt you for the rest of your life.
Surgery is dangerous, no matter what you are told by hospital personnel. It is not routine, and a lot can go wrong, even with the best operating room staff. When negligence is the cause of operating room errors, victims should find out about their rights and options.
When vital organs are involved, a slip of the knife is not acceptable. We provide the victims of surgical errors with an aggressive pursuit of justice. When mistakes are made that change your life forever, people need to be held accountable for their negligence.
Hospital-caused infections can be the result a lack of preventive practices such as handwashing. Failing to administer prophylactic antibiotics after risky surgery can be another.
While infections are a part of life and no hospital can guarantee there won't be infections, medical professionals have a responsibility to closely monitor patients and to use best practices to avoid the spread of infection. When infections are discovered, they need to be treated aggressively to prevent major complications. When that doesn't happen, those responsible need to be held accountable.
While often not mentioned very much, anesthesiologists play a huge role in the success or failure of medial procedures. The anesthesiologist is the medical professional charged with the overall safety of the patient during surgical or other medical procedures that require general anesthesia. Too much, too little or the wrong type of anesthesia, along with failing to monitor the condition of the patient, are the most common anesthesia errors. Mistakes by an anesthesiologist can not only cause a bad surgical outcome, but can also threaten the life of a patient.
No matter how qualified a professional is, mistakes are bound to happen. But there is no excuse for failing to pay attention. Far too many anesthesia-related problems could be prevented by monitoring patients more closely. When anesthesiologists, doctors, surgeons or nurses fail to monitor vital readings and react accordingly, they need to be held accountable.
It doesn't matter how prominent the surgeon or how big the HMO - we have the resources to establish a balance of power in the courtroom and hold negligent surgeons financially accountable for their mistakes. To schedule a free consultation and discuss your case, contact us online or call us at 866-502-9091 to speak with the law office of Tolmage, Peskin, Harris, Falick today.
