'Transformers' director walks off stage at CES
LAS VEGAS (AP) --
"Transformers" director Michael Bay says he's embarrassed that he walked off the stage during a presentation of Samsung's new curved ultra-high-definition television.
Video of the cringe-worthy incident at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas circulated on social media sites late Monday and early Tuesday. In a statement posted online and confirmed by Bay's production company, Bay says: "I guess live shows aren't my thing."
The video shows Bay start to speak, then stop when the presenter speaks. Bay resumes speaking, then stops again, saying the teleprompter isn't working correctly.
Bay and the presenter then attempt to talk off-the-cuff about the 105-inch TV, but the flustered director apologizes and abruptly leaves the stage.
Bay directed the first three "Transformers" movies, with "Transformers 4" due in theaters in June 2014.
Sony launches SmartBand with life-logging app
Sony is delving further into the wearable computing market with SmartBand, a waterproof wristband that tracks everything from daily physical activities and nightly sleep patterns to how much you've socialized with friends.
The sensor-packed band has no display and interacts wirelessly with an Android smartphone or tablet through an app called Lifelog. It keeps a daily record of activities and recommends actions for the future.
SmartBand also informs its wearer of incoming calls and messages by vibrating. Users listening to music can use it to play, pause or skip tracks.
The band's core is removable and can be worn in various ways other than with the wristband.
Sony announced SmartBand on Monday and said it would be available this spring, but didn't give pricing. Sony's SmartWatch retails for upward of $70.
Microsoft says it sold 3M Xbox Ones in 2013
Microsoft says it has sold more than 3 million units of the Xbox One, the video game console it launched on Nov. 22, 2013.
That means Microsoft Corp. sold 1 million of the consoles between Dec. 11 and the end of the year. Sony has not disclosed year-end figures for its gaming console, the PlayStation 4, though it may this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The figures are for sales to customers in 13 countries.
Microsoft says demand for the Xbox One has been strong since its launch, selling out in many stores throughout the holidays.
New Dish Hopper set-up can record 8 shows at once

By Ryan Nakashima, Business Writer
Dish Network Corp. has unveiled a new digital recorder system that can record eight TV shows at once and can be controlled by voice.
In a stunt worthy of the annual gadget show, International CES, Dish executive Vivek Khemka also showed off how its Hopper digital video recorder can be set to record shows using Google's high-tech eyewear, Google Glass.
The eight-show system involves Dish's Hopper DVR and a new Super Joey add-on box for separate rooms. The catch is that four of those shows have to be from the broadcast networks ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox.
Dish also unveiled partnerships with LG Corp. and Sony Corp. so that Hopper users can watch recorded shows in a second room without needing a Joey. Instead, the system uses an app on a smart TV or PlayStation game console.
The announcements Monday at the International CES gadget show come a year after Dish's Hopper with Sling was picked by More
Sundance festival cuts the wait for theatergoers
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) --
Waiting for hours in the cold will no longer be necessary to grab a last-minute ticket at the Sundance Film Festival at Park City.
Organizers have created an electronic wait list to resolve the inconvenience.
It allows festivalgoers to check on ticket availability "from the comfort of your home or wherever you are," David Sabour, Sundance's manager of ticketing systems, told the Deseret News of Salt Lake City (http://bit.ly/1dheLSw). "This is just one of the ways we're looking to improve the guest experience at the festival."
For years, people hoping to squeeze into a theater had to arrive two hours early to grab a number and return again to wait for a chance for a seat.
All that will be a thing of the past when the Sundance Festival opens Jan. 16 for a 10-day run.
Festivalgoers can get on the electronic wait list by opening an account at More

Roku Inc. is launching a line of TVs that play video from services like Netflix without requiring a set-top box. While similar to smart TVs on the market already, the company's Internet streaming platform offers some 1,200 apps and more comprehensive niche content choices.
The Saratoga, Calif.-based streaming set-top box pioneer is partnering with two of the biggest Chinese TV makers in the world, TCL Corp. and Hisense International Co. Ltd. on six models. It plans to showcase them on the sidelines of the annual International CES gadget show in Las Vegas, starting Monday.
The Roku TV will also provide users a way to access feeds from regular live TV providers and to connect to other devices such as Blu-ray disc players.
Roku launched its first streaming video player in May 2008, when the box only played content from Netflix. Since then, the company has sold nearly 8 million units and claims More
SNL adds black woman to cast
By David Bauder, Television Writer
NEW YORK --
NBC's comic institution "Saturday Night Live," criticized recently for a lack of diversity, said on Monday that it was adding a black woman to its repertory cast when new episodes start again later this month.
Sasheer Zamata, who graduated from the University of Virginia in 2008 and has worked with the New York Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe, will join for the Jan. 18 episode, for which Drake is the host and the musical guest. Zamata, 27, is from Indianapolis.
The 137 regular cast members who have been part of "Saturday Night Live" since its 1975 debut have been mostly white and have included only four black women. The most recent was biracial Maya Rudolph, who left in 2007. Black men, including Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock, have played more prominent roles.
The lack of a black woman among the 16 regular or featured players became an issue this season when the two black More

After SARS: A New Virus in Saudi Arabia Underscores the Need to Police Disease in Animals
A new and deadly coronavirus emerges in Saudi Arabia. When will we learn to predict emerging diseases in animals before they make the jump to humans.
By Bryan Walsh March 19, 2013
Christian Keenan / Getty Images
Train passengers wearing free masks handed out by the Kowloon-Canton Railway on March 26, 2003. A total of 299 people died in the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong in 2003
I became a science writer — well, at least a part-time one — because I lived through SARS. I was a reporter for TIME's Hong Kong office 10 years ago, mostly covering books, films and whichever exotic destination I could convince my editors to send me to. (Like … Guangzhou!) But when SARS started spreading in Hong Kong in the spring of 2003 — from where it leapt to much of the rest of the world — I was hooked immediately. Experiencing science in real time, with human lives and billions of dollars on the line, was pure cut excitement. I remember getting a glimpse through an electron microscope of the coronavirus that caused SARS, not long after researchers at Hong Kong University had identified it, and being fascinated that a packet of genes, just 100 nanometers in diameter, could cause so much trouble. (For the best book on the SARS outbreak, check out former TIME Asia editor Karl Greenfeld's China Syndrome — and not just because I'm in the index.)
But my conversion wasn't just about the rush of following an outbreak in real time. An emerging infectious disease like SARS pulls back the curtain on our world and demonstrates just how interconnected we all are, in more ways than just the global economy or international air travel. SARS, like most new diseases, started in an animal before jumping across the species barrier to human beings. The original reservoir for SARS was actually a bat, and it's still not clear how the virus managed to cross from them to us, though the anything-goes standards of the live markets of southern China, where wild animals of all sorts are available for consumption and where the SARS outbreak began, definitely played a role. Researchers initially thought that civet cats transmitted the virus to human beings — Chinese officials even culled thousands of civet cats in the months after SARS to prevent a resurgence — though now it seems possible that the cats caught it from us. No matter how the virus jumped, it made one thing clear: virologically speaking, we're connected not just to humans, but to many other species. Their health is ours.
(MORE: WHO Offers Countries Guidance for Identifying SARS-like Virus)
That's worth keeping in mind as health officials grapple with another new coronavirus. Since the new pathogen first came to light in Saudi Arabia last fall, at least 15 people have been infected and more than half have died. Like SARS, it causes severe respiratory illness — and like SARS, there's no ideal treatment. So far the new coronavirus hasn't been able to spread easily among human beings, and it's possible that — like the vast majority of emerging pathogens, including SARS itself — it will never fully establish itself in our species. But as the virologist Ron Fouchier of Erasmus University in the Netherlands told the Guardian's Ian Semple:
We don't know whether this virus has the capability to trigger a full epidemic. We are completely in the dark about it. We think what we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg, but we don't know how big the iceberg is, or where the iceberg is.
What Fouchier is saying is true for emerging pathogens more generally. Animal health gets just a fraction of the resources that human health does, which is why we are rarely able to detect new viruses before it's too late and they've already crossed the species barrier. In the wake of SARS and the avian flu flare-ups over the past decade, however, that is beginning to change. I've written before about the virologist Nathan Wolfe and his Global Viral Forecasting group, which tries to use on-the-ground surveillance and computer modeling to predict when and where new viruses will emerge to threaten the human race. But there other groups working to police the boundaries between human and animal health, and one of them — the New York City–based EcoHealth Alliance — has a new paper out that demonstrates just how many unknown coronaviruses are out there, competing to be the next SARS. "This is really critical stuff," says Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth. "It was on the back burner, but with SARS and everything after, it's become a major concern."
(MORE: New SARS-like Virus Detected: Should We Be Worried?)
Researchers from the group screened more than 600 bats from 42 species in Mexico, looking for new viruses. (Bats, for reasons that aren't clear, seem to play a critical role in spreading new viruses to humans; besides SARS, bats were also the reservoir for the Nipah virus, which causes a neurological and respiratory disease that's infected hundreds of people, chiefly in Southeast Asia.) The investigators were able to identify 13 distinct coronaviruses, and all but one had never been characterized before. As viral-fishing expeditions go, this was very, very good — and very, very scary; the fact that there are that many new viruses in a relatively small sample of bats is a sign of just how little we know about the microbial threats on the horizon. "If you start looking around, you'd find hundreds of thousands of unknown viruses waiting to be discovered," says Daszak. "Most will be harmless — but some will be lethal."
Daszak notes that the Saudi coronavirus seems unlikely to be anything more than an isolated threat. But as more and more people crowd the planet — and as we push back forests and other wildlife habitats, putting us in ever closer contact with a range of new and potentially germ-filled species — the danger from emerging diseases is only likely to grow. "You have five new diseases emerging each year, and that rate is increasing," says Daszak. "We have to be able to increase our surveillance." The truth is that as bad as SARS was — the disease killed nearly 1,000 people and cost tens of billions of dollars worth of damage — we were lucky that the outbreak was as mild as it was, just as we were lucky with the relatively weak influenza pandemic of 2009 (which, don't forget, initially spread to human beings from pigs). It's unlikely we'll be so lucky every time.

Tom Sachs on Switzerland, LSD, and the cult of organisation

Tom Sachs has more in common with the Swiss than he would have you believe. The American artist runs a decidedly precise operation in New York governed by a rigorous framework of ten rules – or 'bullets' – outlined in the studio's video manual. And just like the Swiss, above all else, Sachs values punctuality, efficiency, order and fines ('monetary sacrifices', as decreed in the manual, for breaking the aforementioned rules). 'Switzerland has always been in the forefront of my thinking,' says Sachs, whose current show at Vito Schnabel Gallery in St Moritz rethinks the 'Swiss brand'.
'Ever since I went there I always have been fascinated with the "organisation cult" of Switzerland – it's the kind of thing I've always aspired to,' explains the artist, who issued mock Swiss passports for 24 hours last year during London's Frieze Week. 'One of the things we do as human beings to face the inevitable entropy that is our demise, is to spend time organising materials into systems so that we can have rich lives. The horror isn't that the universe is cruel, but that it's indifferent.' (Cue Sachsian bullet #8: Always be Knolling.)
The St Moritz exhibition takes its name from a 1969 Joseph Beuys installation, The Pack, comprising a VW van with 24 wooden sleds trailing behind, each equipped with a felt blanket, a flashlight, and a lump of animal fat. Sachs' homage slyly references the Pontifical Swiss Guard, with a trio of electric motorcycles named for cities in the African states (Lagos, Mogadishu, Kinshasha) and rigged with weapons and a postmodern survival kit complete with snacks.

Other familiar Alpine tropes – the Swiss Army Knife, wholesome folklore heroine Heidi, the nation's flag – are reconfigured in Sachs' alternative Switzerland. Is the image of Swiss perfection a myth? 'The idea of Switzerland also brings up all kinds of questions about banking and hiding economic resources. But the idea of Switzerland, including its flag (which is the inversion of the Red Cross) and its island-nation status in Europe, has always been this symbol of prestige.' Sure, Sachs' sculptures are inherently parodical, but they also invite deeper reflection upon an imbalance that's become systemic of rich and poor countries alike.
'People in Switzerland appreciate the depth of Tom's work, the sincerity of his fascination with Switzerland and his love for a place that leads him to critique,' says gallerist Vito Schnabel, who has worked with Sachs for more than 15 years. Over the past six months the pair have collaborated on a number of projects, including a fully-functioning mezcaleria in New York that served as a prelude to Sachs' outing in St Moritz. 'The physical presence of the sculptures in the exhibition are very compelling – beautiful and strange and sometimes disturbing. But their conceptual framework is just as strong.'
'LSD is important because it's a window into another world, it's a window to what we can achieve through work.'
Sachs has long been drawn to Switzerland's reputation as a global model of financial prowess, scientific progression, political neutrality, and world-class infrastructure. 'When you have economic resources as rich as Switzerland you are in a position to mitigate nature in a way that's unmatched,' says Sachs. 'Harnessing the power of nature is the ultimate act of mankind. There's no place on earth where nature is better cultivated. But that's not even limited to what we do with the things that we can see in nature.'
The artist continues: 'The greatest particle collider [in the world] – the laboratory at CERN – has investigated nature on a sub-atomic level and is going deeper than even the Americans have gone. It is unusual for a small European country to lead in such a profound area, literally going farther than anyone else has gone in, and the opposite of the space programme, which is going out.' Several other works in the show reflect the NASA-obsessed artist's ongoing fixation with expedition, including the lunar odyssey-inspired Moon (2018).
His work similarly finds itself intertwined with industrial invention, another idiosyncrasy he shares with the Swiss. After all, velcro, cellophane and LSD were invented in Switzerland. 'It's amazing that LSD was invented in Switzerland because it's such a strong symbol of counterculture. I think LSD is important because it's a window into another world, it's a window to what we can achieve through work. I'm not a huge advocate of recreational drugs but I do believe it's important to use anything available to explore. And going inside the mind is one of the least understood sciences and areas of exploration that there is.'

Sachs poses pointed questions about global identity and colonial destabilisation too. In Switzerland (2018), the artist renames the 26 cantons of the Swiss Confederation after Africa's sovereign states, proposing a redistribution of wealth both economically and culturally. 'I almost want to invert the most soulful and the most soulless, or the most affluent and the poorest,' he notes. 'The main influence of being an American is the art of the African diaspora – we're built on slavery.' It's a stark and sobering reminder of man's violent history, at odds with the gallery's pristine Alpine surrounds.
'Everything in this show – everything the studio makes – is for, or part of, a ritual experience of making the thing itself or another activity in the studio, like something as simple as having a cup of coffee.' Though Sachs insists his 'anarchistic workshop' is more like Cuba than Switzerland, 'The Pack' has us convinced otherwise. Drinking coffee poured from a busty, robotised Heidi allows us to revel, just for a moment, in the absurdity of it all. §

Q: Between And Greater Than Date Should Be Implement In Same Query I have two DateTime columns like start_datetime and end_datetime. these fields contain DateTime value.

Here itself I need three different outputs. while you search, "15-09-2020 00:00:00" to "26-09-2020 23:59:59" it will display the first two lines. if you search like "26-09-2020 00:00:00" to "13-10-2020 23:59:59", it should result in three rows.
Instead of if you search, "10-09-2020 00:00:00" to "18-09-2020 23:59:59", it will show the first two rows.
In this case, I am stuck at the query. if I am using between some results won't come. if I am using greater than a symbol, some results won't come.

A: store the date time format in YYYY-MM-DD H:I:S, so you can easily

      FROM table_name
      WHERE start_datetime BETWEEN value1 AND value2 AND end_datetime BETWEEN value1 AND value2;

Johnston Police swear in three new officers
READY RECRUITS: Johnston Police Chief Richard S. Tamburini, Mayor Joseph Polisena and Deputy Chief Joseph P. Razza join the Department's three new recruits – Nicholas Manocchio, Kayleigh Cooper and Michael Schiappa – at their official swearing in ceremony inside JPD headquarters. (Photo courtesy of the JPD)
Posted Friday, June 8, 2018 3:49 pm
Johnston Police Chief Richard S. Tamburini looked at the town's newest police officers and declared, "These three new recruits are a welcomed addition to the proud ranks of the Johnston Police."
Tamburini, who is known as Rhode Island's longest-serving law enforcement official, actually issued that statement twice on a recent Thursday afternoon; once inside the Community College of Rhode Island Flanagan Fieldhouse in Lincoln and the other at JPD headquarters off Atwood Avenue.
"These officers will fill a void left by the retirement of three officers," the veteran JPD chief explained. "After an extensive and competitive testing process these recruits were selected because they were head and shoulders above their competitors."
The recruits – Nicholas Manocchio, Kayleigh Cooper and Michael Schiappa – graduated from the Rhode Island Municipal Training Academy upon completion of an intense 22-week course during which all facets of police work was covered.
"Now, these three recruits will ride with a seasoned officer for 14 weeks before they are deployed," Tamburini said. "Again, they are a welcomed addition to the JPD."
Tamburini also issued "congratulations to all three recruits" and emphasized "you have completed the transformation from citizen to law enforcement officer. You have sacrificed a lot or the last 20 plus weeks and successfully arrived at this moment in your life. Do not get complacent. This is an exciting career; stay sharp."
Following the graduation ceremony at CCRI in Lincoln, the new recruits and members of their families went to JPD headquarters where they were sworn into office by Mayor Joseph Polisena during a brief yet impressive ceremony.
The Mayor, as well as Tamburni, heaped words of praise upon Cooper, for her extraordinary effort in reciting the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics on graduation day at the RI Municipal Training Academy.
"It was rewarding for me to hear Officer Cooper recite the Code of Ethics," Tamburini said. "She impressed everyone … her classmates, the audience … and she didn't just read it, she memorized it and that was part of the requirement for the ceremony."

Q: Rails - can't make database migration on Heroku for app using Devise authentication My application uses Devise authentication gem.
When i do
rake db:migrate

locally, everything is going well, but when I do this on Heroku:
heroku run rake db:migrate --app myappname

I get
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Devise::Encryptors::Base

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate => environment
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I have no Idea what could go wrong.

A: I run into the same issue because I implemented a custom encryptor. Since version 2.1 of devise custom encryptors have been extracted to a separate gem. To get it working do the following.
Add the devise-encryptable gem to your Gemfile.
gem 'devise-encryptable'
Subclass from Devise::Encryptable::Encryptors::Base instead of Devise::Encryptors::Base.
# lib/devise/encryptors/md5.rb
require 'digest/md5'

module Devise
  module Encryptable
    module Encryptors
      class Md5 < Base
        def self.digest(password, stretches, salt, pepper)
          str = [password, salt].flatten.compact.join
          Digest::MD5.hexdigest(str)
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

I updated the how-to page of devise as well. I hope this solves your problem.

Q: Update wordpress menu with woocommerce products For aesthetics purposes, i chose to keep the menu from my theme (twentyfifteen).
I have a large catalog of products and i use Woocommerce to keep them into categories and products.
Everytime I add a new product I also have to add the product manually into the wordpress menu. Now that the website is getting bigger, i'll have a lot of new products and i'll always have to keep that up to date.
The Woocommerce widget "Woocommerce product category" adds automatically new products when they are set as child of a category.
Pictures to make it more understandable :

This is the menu i have. If i add a product in "storage cabinets" i will still have to go on the back-end and add it manually for it to show as a child of "storage cabinets".

Is there a way to add automatically a product into his right category
  as when i create it i set the category "storage cabinets" ?

Hope I could keep it clear and thank you for your replies. Don't hesitate to ask for clarifications as English is not my first language.

The Exchange: Canada x Namibia
For The Commonwealth Fashion Exchange 2018, designer Lucian Matis exchanged with artisans Omba Arts Trust to create a look that was inspired by manmade disasters. The look was unveiled at Buckingham Palace on February 19, 2018, and later moved to the Australian High Commission, London, where it was open to the public in the run up to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit, April 2018.

Canada: Designer Lucian Matis
Lucian Matis is a Toronto-based womenswear designer whose eponymous label features elegant daywear and eveningwear with couture-quality embellishment. Born in Romania, he perfected these intricate hand-sewing techniques working alongside his mother in her tailor shop. Matis studied fine arts in Europe before immigrating to Canada in 2007, where he attended Ryerson's fashion design program in Toronto. Since the launch of his first collection in 2007, his designs have been featured in national and international publications, including FASHION and WWD, and worn by celebrities and VIPs like Nelly Furtado, Iman and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Among his many industry accolades, Matis has been nominated three times for the CAFAs Womenswear Designer of the Year award.

Namibia: Artisans Omba Arts Trust
Founded in 1991, Omba Arts Trust is an NGO that supports sustainable livelihoods in marginalized communities, through craft development and marketing. To create the Fashion Exchange look, the Trust looked to the San community, living in the eastern region of Namibia, living on either government managed 'Resettlement farms' or in 'Communal conservancy' areas. The San are indigenous hunger-gatherers representing the first nation of Southern Africa, which spans Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

The gown was created with wool blend fabric.
The look was embellished with black Swarovski upcycled crystals.
To accompany the gown, a classic roll necklace was created by three Ju/'hoansi groups living in the eastern region of Namibia.

Traditional techniques
The method for creating the beads is believed to date back 60,000 years, using ostrich eggshells that are broken in to small pieces, clipped into circles and pierced with a hole. The beads have been heated to create different colours, from a pale grass tone through to black.

Does anyone can point me in the direction how to simulate/creating a plug in renderer to simulate radiosity in Vizard?
Well, radiosity is a very compute-intensive way of determining the diffuse-to-diffuse light transport from surface to surface. There's no "real time" way to compute this, and as objects move, any computation would have to be done over. Each polygon in a scene affects every other polygon in a scene, and the effect is proportional to their surface areas. So for a scene with N polygons, you are talking at least N*N complex calculations to determine any extra lighting effects.
To emulate either radiosity in a static scene, or ambient occlusion on each individual object in a scene, the typical approach would be to divide your geometry mesh into smallish polygons, and precompute a UV texture map or a set of vertex colors that can be applied to the mesh during rendering.
This precomputed information is just like a color texture image or vertex colors, except it affects the lighting values on the model instead of the surface color.
I hope that's enough to start googling.
I'm just a user, not a representative of WorldViz. Hope I've been helpful.

I have received extensive training beyond my doctorate in relevant development areas including: executive coaching, organizational change, mediation, high performance management, assessment delivery and related leadership topics.
I coach executives who are interested in expanding their leadership capabilities. Typically I work with a leader who is successful in his or her business arena, has strong business, technical or scientific expertise, and wants to improve in the leadership competencies that become necessary as one advances within an organization: how to develop a team, build more strategic relationships, manage conflict, demonstrate vision and strategic agility. I work with global corporations as well as small businesses and nonprofits.

Stephen Tulloh
Four artists honored with S.C. Arts Commission fellowships
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 25 June 2018 COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina artists in Charleston, Horry, Richland and Spartanburg counties representing four arts disciplines received individual artist fellowships after approval by the S.C. Arts Commission board in Columbia. All individual artists working in prose, poetry, and theatre acting and playwriting were invited to apply for awards for fiscal year 2019. The S.C. Arts Commission board approved $5,000 fellowships based on recommendations made by out-of-state review panelists, who select these fellows after reviewing anonymous work samples:
Rutledge Hammes of Charleston County for prose,
Stephen Tulloh of Spartanburg County for poetry,
Paul Kaufmann of Richland County for theatre acting,
and Kevin Ferguson of Horry County for theatre playwriting.
Fellowships recognize and reward the artistic achievements of South Carolina's exceptional individual artists. They are awarded through a competitive, anonymous process and based solely on artistic excellence. Recognition from fellowship awards often lends artistic prestige and opens doors to other resources and employment opportunities. "Past fellows are quick to share stories about the transformative difference award dollars make and the positive effect on their spirits and their self-perception," S.C. Arts Commission Executive Director Ken May said. "It can truly be a life-changing experience. South Carolina's artists are indispensable contributors to quality of life in our communities and make up the core of our creative economy. A fellowship is one of the best ways the people of South Carolina thank them, and our agency is proud to deliver these tokens of gratitude on their behalf." The panelists who judged each discipline's nominees work in those disciplines elsewhere. This year's prose judge was Jamey Hatley of Memphis, Tenn., an author who received a prose fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in 2016. The poetry judge was poet Shane McCrae of New York City, an NEA poetry fellow and writing professor at Columbia University. Nancy Rominger of Montgomery, Ala., director of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, served as the theatre acting judge. The theatre playwriting judge was Betty Peterson, an English professor at Somerset (Ky.) Community College. Four fellowships per year are awarded to artists who work in rotating disciplines. One artist from each of these fields: visual arts, craft, and music performance or composition, will be honored in fiscal year 2020. To be eligible, artists must be at least 18 years old and a legal U.S. resident with permanent residence in the state for two years prior to the application date and throughout the fellowship period. Applications will be accepted later this summer following announcement by the S.C. Arts Commission. For more on discipline rotation, eligibility requirements, and the application process, please visit http://www.southcarolinaarts.com/grants/artists/fellowships.shtml.
About the FY2019 South Carolina Arts Commission Fellowship Recipients
PROSE F. RUTLEDGE HAMMES | Charleston County "What I write, at its very best, is some illegitimate hybrid of South American magical realism and Southern Gothic I like to think of as Southern Fabulism," Rutledge Hammes says of the sum of his prose. Hammes, who lives in Charleston, is the writer-in-residence and creative writing teacher for the Charleston County School of the Arts. His students, throughout a 10-year tenure, have accounted for more than 3,500 regional and national writing awards. The city's 2011 "Best Up-and-Coming Writer" is co-author of two published novels. His first solo novel, A Curious Matter of Men with Wings, is to be published under his name this September. He is the winner of six ADDY Awards for copywriting and winner of the Cypress Dome Fiction Awards. His talent extends to poetry, where he was a finalist for both the Montage Poetry Award and the Paul Laurence Dunbar Award for Poetry. POETRY STEPHEN TULLOH | Spartanburg County Stephen Tulloh received his MFA in creative writing from the University of South Carolina. The Spartanburg resident has spent time as a tutor and instructor on the collegiate level, where he develops and implements subject- and student-centered courses which nurture creativity, empowerment, self-actualization. As a writer, though, Tulloh considers himself versatile and meticulous as he creates essays, books, and articles for traditional or digital publication. He blogs and has three credits to his name: two out-of-print collections of essays, activities, and lectures on communication and writing; and 2009's Symmetry, described as "retrospective, introspective, emotive, and somewhat innovative, the poems and drawings in Symmetry focus on two siblings' relationships – with nature; with one another; with family, friends and foes." THEATRE: ACTING PAUL KAUFMANN | Richland County Though an actor for most of his life, Paul Kaufmann is a multi-faceted artist: playwright, songwriter, fiction and copy writer, and a visual artist. A resident of Columbia with a bachelor's in communications from Florida State University, he is a veteran of the city's theatre scene, serving as a cast member in stage productions at Trustus Theatre and at USC. His resume includes appearances in productions in New York City, Wales and on screen in Third Reel, a Jason Stokes film. He has been the principal at Kaufmann Forensic Actors for 12 years. His company contracts 20 actors from across the U.S. to provide actors to the FBI, ICE and other federal and state agencies for use in scenario-based training, where they portray victims of myriad crimes. THEATRE: PLAYWRIGHTING KEVIN FERGUSON | Horry County He describes himself as a son, friend, actor, counselor, teacher, mentor, playwright, dramaturg, and a literary manager, but "not always in that order," says Kevin Ferguson of Little River on his website. He is credited with writing six plays: five original, and an adaptation of Dickens' famed A Christmas Carol. His work was included in a short play anthology in 2015 and he contributed to a nine-vignette collection of works with other playwrights. Ferguson teaches playwriting and dramaturgy at Coastal Carolina University. He earned an MFA in playwriting with a concentration in dramaturgy from Hollins University. He is playwright-in-residence, literary manager, and resident dramaturg at Atlantic Stage in Myrtle Beach. He is also the resident Dramaturg at the Playwright's Lab at Hollins.

Donald Sturrock
NarratorStephen Thorne
BiographiesCulture
The authorised biography of one of the greatest storytellers of all time.
"Irresistible. I thought I knew quite a lot about Roald Dahl, but now I know much much more. Donald Sturrock's book lucidly describes a complicated life and relates it to the richness of Dahl's storytelling."Quentin Blake
Roald Dahl is one of the greatest storytellers of all time. He pushed children's literature into uncharted territory and almost twenty years after his death his popularity continues to grow - worldwide sales of his books have now topped 100 million. The man behind the stories, however, remains an enigma. Dahl was a single-minded adventurer, an eternal child, and his public persona was often controversial.
To his readers, Dahl was always a hero and his stories have had an impact on the lives and imaginations of generations of children. Since his death his reputation has been transformed. Critics now too celebrate his wild imagination, quirky humour and linguistic elegance; figures like Willy Wonka, the BFG and the Grand High Witch are immortal literary creations.
In this masterly biography, Donald Sturrock reveals many hitherto hidden aspects of Roald Dahl's life: his terrifying experiences as a fighter pilot; the mental anguish caused by the death of his seven-year-old daughter; his work for military intelligence at the end of the war and more. Written with exclusive access to his private papers and manuscripts as well as with reference to hundreds of newly-discovered letters, Dahl lives on every page of this utterly compelling book, which reveals the man as we've never seen before.

Billy Sheehan Has Pro-Shot Footage From 'Eat 'Em and Smile' Tour
Corey Irwin Published: July 31, 2022
Professionally shot footage of David Lee Roth performing with his Eat 'Em and Smile-era band exists, and bassist Billy Sheehan says he's got it.
"I think I'm the only guy with it," the rocker revealed during a conversation with the We Go to 11 YouTube channel (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). "They shot it pro. It's Dave's tour and Dave's business, so I can't do anything with it, unfortunately. At some point, maybe I'll try and get in touch with Dave, 'Do you wanna put this out?' But I had a pro-shot [footage]… I forgot how I got it. As far as I know, nobody else has it. I just reviewed it the other day and backed it up again to another three drives to make sure I didn't lose it."
Roth's Eat 'Em and Smile lineup included Sheehan, guitarist Steve Vai and drummer Gregg Bissonette, along with touring keyboardist Brett Tuggle. The group embarked on an extensive trek from 1986-'87, performing more than 100 shows in support of Roth's debut solo album. Fan footage from the tour has popped up on YouTube over the years, but professionally shot video has never been released.
"Back then, a video camera, to sneak it into a venue [was very difficult], but somehow people did. It's pretty amazing. I mean, they were sneaking bottles of Jack Daniel's in, and a camera wasn't too far of a stretch during concerts in 1986 there," Sheehan surmised.
The lineup has not performed together since '87, though some members have reunited at various times. A 2015 one-off reunion at a small Los Angeles club was shut down by the fire marshal before it even began.
As for whether his pro-shot footage could see the light of day, Sheehan insisted it'd be Roth's decision.
"I'm not sure if it could be out someday, if Dave would be interested in doing it, but I've got it; it's here for him," the bassist noted. "If he wants it, I'll be happy to put it on my Dropbox and send it over to him. But most of [the videos that are out there] are hand-held [clips], shaky with [muffled] audio. This one is — the audio is good; it's not great. But it's better than most of the hand-held camera things."

# This script uploads metadata and test results to Google Cloud Storage, in the
# location indicated by JENKINS_GCS_LOGS_PATH. By default, we use the Google
# kubernetes-jenkins bucket.
#
# The script looks for one of two environment variables to be set:
#   JENKINS_BUILD_STARTED: set to a nonempty string to upload version
#     information to 'started.json'. The value of the variable is not
#     currently used.
#   JENKINS_BUILD_FINISHED: set to the Jenkins build result to upload the build
#     result to 'finished.json', any test artifacts, and update the
#     'latest-build.txt' file pointer. Since this script uses gsutil directly,
#     it's a bit faster at uploading large numbers of files than the GCS Jenkins
#     plugin. It also makes use of gsutil's gzip functionality.
#
# Note: for magicfile support to work correctly, the "file" utility must be
# installed.

# TODO(rmmh): rewrite this script in Python so we can actually test it!

Despite expectations to the contrary, the European Commission decided not to refer the Polish Supreme Court law to the EU's top court on Wednesday (19 September), following a meeting of EU affairs ministers that heard Poland's arguments on Tuesday. But it does not necessarily mean a detente is on the cards. Dimitry Kochenov, professor of EU constitutional law at the University of Groningen, told EURACTIV "In the end, we have only one institution in Europe that is potentially able to change the situation for the better and that is the Court of Justice of the European Union."
LLM-Guide.com recently released its Top 10 List of Energy Law LLM Programmes for 2018, which again lists Groningen as a top destination to study energy law. Groningen's mentioned programmes include its LLM in Energy and Climate Law, and it participation in the North Sea Energy Law Programme (NSELP).
Zuidelijk van de stad Groningen ligt een geliefd natuurgebied: De Onlanden. Het Groninger Instituut voor Archeologie van de RUG heeft hier afgelopen jaren uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan. De resultaten staan beschreven in het boek 'Huisplaatsen in De Onlanden. De geschiedenis van een Drents veenweidegebied', dat 28 september wordt gepresenteerd.

Companies win when their managers make a clear and meaningful distinction between top and bottom-performing businesses and people, when they cultivate the strong and cull the weak. Companies suffer when every business and person is treated equally and bets are sprinkled all around like rain on the ocean.
It's a process that requires managers to assess their employees and separate them into three categories in terms of performance: top 20 percent, middle 70, and bottom 10. Then—and this is key—it requires managers to act on that distinction.
Some people feel that differentiation is "cruel and unfair" and they are right if its not done properly. Poor business allow differentiation to be corrupted by company policies and is just another way to separate the people who "Kiss the boss's rear" from those who dont.
It is true, without question, that at some companies, differentiation is corrupted by cronyism and favoritism. The top 20 percent are the boss's head-nodders and buddies, and the bottom 10 percent are the outspoken types who ask difficult questions and challenge the status quo. The middle 70 are just ducking and getting by. That happens and it stinks, and it is a function of a leadership team lacking in brains or integrity or both.
The only good thing I can say about a merit-free system like this is that eventually it destroys itself. It collapses from its own weight or has to change. The results just won't be good enough to sustain the enterprise.
Differentiation abuse can generally be prevented by a candid, clear-cut performance system, with defined expectations and goals and timelines, and a program of consistent appraisals.
You cant just impose differentiation overnight, this needs to take effect over time and a full understanding of it structure needs to be implemented. Managers who "abuse" the system need to be removed and made a example off.
Leadership quote number 4 from my Book Key Leadership "Stop putting personal preferences ahead of organizational effectiveness."
Look at the 4E' and P for understanding where your team's site in the 20-70-10.
The First E. Energy. The ability to Go Go Go. Do people look at this person and say "how do they have the time to do that stuff"?
The second E. Energize. The ability to get other people revved up. Can they energize a group, a project, a team, a region?
The third E. Edge. Look, the world is filled with gray. Anyone can look at an issue from every different angle. Some smart people can—and will—analyze those angles indefinitely. But effective people know when to stop assessing and make a tough call, even without total information.
Some of the smartest people I know have a real difficulty with edge. In every situation, they always saw too many options, which inhibited them from taking action. That indecisiveness kept their organizations in limbo.
The Forth E. Execute. The ability to get the job done.
And lastly P. Passion. Do they show passion.
Do you people pass the Acid test? Integrity, Intelligence, maturity.
Grade your people on the 4E's & P. ask yourself, "do they pass the Acid test?" If the answer is no, they belong in the bottom 10 and should be managed accordingly.
I'll say it again as this is the most important thing in Differentiation. Integrity. DO NOT let your personal opinions enter into the evaluations. You have a responsibility to the organization, the people within the organization, their families, the share holders and yourself to have the best people in the roles that can enhance the organizations effectiveness.
That's your job as a leader.
Evaluate yourself on the 4E's & P. Do you pass the Acid test??

New Zealand v England - T20: Game 5
New Zealand and England faced each other for the fifth and final T20I at Eden Park, Auckland. It was the decider of the five-match T20I series, with both teams having won twice each in the preceding matches.
England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and decided to bowl first. However, the rain started pouring down when the two teams were ready to start the proceedings, and that delayed the match.
As a result of the delay, the officials turned the game into an 11-overs-a-side affair.
Courtesy of some explosive batting by Martin Guptill (50 off 20), Colin Munro (46 off 21), and Tim Seifert (39 off 16), the Kiwis posted a total of 146-5 in the allocated 11 overs.
During England's run-chase, Jonny Bairstow scored an 18-ball 47 and gave them a promising start. The batsmen who followed did well to keep up the momentum, and Chris Jordan's 12 in the last three balls took the contest to a Super Over.
Bairstow and Morgan then scored 17 off Tim Southee's bowling in the one-over shootout. The New Zealand batters, however, fell short in the over bowled by Chris Jordan and got 8-1 in the end, giving England the series win.
Here are the significant takeaways from the match.
Bairstow the game-changer
Jonny Bairstow's batting (47 runs off just 18 balls with two fours and five sixes) was one of the main reasons behind England's win. Three big wickets (Tom Banton, James Vince and Eoin Morgan) fell in the first three overs, but Bairstow unflinchingly continued his attack until he was dismissed.
The explosive opener also made a useful contribution in the Super Over and took home the Player of the Match award. After an unimpressive Ashes series, Bairstow has bounced back in impression fashion - with the promise of more at the T20 World Cup.
The Kiwi batting muscle needs to be flexed more often
Although the Kiwis lost the match and the series, they still have some positives to take away from it. Their batting demonstrated the firepower they have in the lineup; if they can score 146 in 11 overs, then anything is possible for them.
On the road to T20 World Cup, New Zealand need to shape themselves into a more relentlessly attacking unit. In the first four matches of this series they got scores of more than 150, but they need to stretch themselves a little more to constantly notch up 190+ totals.
England get a much-needed uncontested win
The England team
This match was similar to the 2019 World Cup final, where England and New Zealand fought to a tie in the super over. With very little to separate the two teams, the ICC declared England as the winners by virtue of scoring more boundaries in the match.
England, however, would've preferred their maiden World Cup triumph to be a straightforward one. Failing to stamp their authority at home would've bothered them until this series, where they finally proved their dominance over New Zealand with an uncontested win.
