February 24, 2013 By Paulson Bott Press
Last September Hung Liu returned to Paulson Bott Press for her fifth project. All of us at the press look forward to her enthusiasm and her wide-ranging humor. The first time I worked with Hung Liu in 2008, I expected her to be stoic and severe, given the heavy content of her work. However, I was surprised and pleased to discover that despite her seriousness, she carries herself with an almost child-like cheerfulness and curiosity. There is a good deal of laughter when Hung is in the studio. She also brings a considerable amount of technical knowledge and confidence to the production of her prints. Intaglio can be a daunting and opaque medium for many artists, but she never seems intimidated by its esoteric challenges and unpredictability. For this project we focused on two large portraits and three small cartoon images based on her Happy & Gay series of paintings.
Hung Liu: Happy and Gay (Thanks Mom, Kite, Flag), 2012
The Happy & Gay images are based around a series of Chinese Dick and Jane-like cartoons for children. The title comes from a song/school exercise for learning English: "Come boys and girls—let's sing let's dance. We are happy and gay. It's our National Day." The seemingly benign and bucolic images are both familiar and strange. Like their American counterparts, they're intended to teach a set of wholesome, normative values such as hard work and pragmatism, with a heavy emphasis on the nuclear family and nationalism. Consequently, the fact that these doppelgangers are in the service of the Maoist Cultural Revolution, the loyal opposition of American exceptionalism, makes them feel, dare I say, queer. Such a contrast brings into focus the puritanical undercurrent in both. Hung goes on to further push these tensions with soft subversions such as the pink clothing, which also evokes the double entendre of the title. Such flamboyance would be contextually deviant even in their American equivalents. The images and phrases of her youth are resurrected, with an irony and an acknowledgement that they no longer embody the meaning they once did.
Printer Sam Carr-Prindle and Hung Liu in the studio
A former painting teacher of mine once shared a story about a classmate who got in trouble and was ultimately expelled from their academy in the Soviet Union for making an impressionist painting. There was no dissident political content, or satire, just a few fauvist trees, which in an American school would have been at worst derided as quaint or anachronistic. Yet the implied individuality and emphasis on interpretation of feeling were perceived as threatening and subversive to the rigid social order. So in recreating these images in her own hand, and with small expressionistic flares, Hung is slyly breaking the rules that fettered the illustrators and artists forced to work in a state-approved style. In her version, the subjects seem to be tripping the Great Leap Forward.
Hung Liu, Shui-Water and Shan-Mountain, 2012
The two portraits are part of an ongoing series of works that are based on early 20th-century photographs of prostitutes. Many of the photographs are small and lack clarity and contrast, yet she is able to enhance the amount of information while imbuing them with a greater sense of life and naturalism. In addition to bringing her large collection of portraits, Hung also brought in an enviable collection of books filled with small reproductions of Chinese woodcuts, which she used to create the backgrounds of Shan-Mountain and Shui-Water. Both prints started with a softground drawing of the figure that was then built up with many layers of aquatint, drypoint, reductive plate work, and, most notably, spitbite, in which nitric acid is painted onto the plate and allowed to drip and run, echoing the turpentine streaks of her paintings. Similar to the way Hung mixes humor and seriousness, these images balance crude or visceral elements with elegance. The softground has a rough, heavy and weathered quality in the way the lines and shapes are broken up by optical chatter, yet the draftsmanship is masterful and sensitive. The spitbite drips can feel both chaotic and ominous, as if the women were melting wax figures yet the drips in and of themselves are lyrical and painted with an unfussy playfulness. These contrasting elements lend a fitting uneasiness to their beauty. While the women are poised and graceful, the images belie the grim and misogynistic reality of their original purpose.
Hung Liu's work is never what you think it might be at first glance.

WordPress Themes in 2014 – Which Theme Suits You?
In WordPress, themes are a set of files that render the content of your site to the user. Right from the layout of your posts to the position of the sidebar(s), everything is decided by the theme files.
A theme can be thought of as an outfit of your website- something that gives a look to it. The core wordpress files do the main calculations and decide what to show and the theme shows you the content that is generated. It is generally seen that websites are not perfect because of the wrong selection of the themes. After all, a proper outfit is necessary for a top class site, only then it would look perfect.
Take for instance the default twenty eleven theme of WordPress. It has a huge banner on the top, which is present for just representative purposes and quite unnecessary for most of the blogs.
The next question arises- where do you find themes? Firstly, the themes part of the official website of WordPress has a huge collection of themes. As of mid 2013, it has over a thousand themes to choose from.
The WordPress site also provides many commercial (paid) themes under the paid services section. Do notice that commercial themes have a better support in general.
Installing a theme in WordPress is very easy, easier than installing WordPress itself. There are two ways in which you can install themes in WordPress. The first way is to search and install it through WP Admin, however, only official themes listed in WordPress.org would be available here. The second way is to download the zipped theme file and upload it to WP Admin.
To install it through WP Admin, go to Appearance > Themes and click on the Install Themes tab.
It has a pretty advanced layout for you to search for themes.
After searching for a keyword, click install on any of the themes that you want in your blog.
After you select a theme, it gets downloaded an installed.
Click on 'Live Preview' to check how it looks in your blog.
If you think you like the preview, click on 'Save and Activate' to save the plugin.
The other way of installing WordPress themes is to upload the zipped file of the contents in your WP Admin. Go to Appearance > Themes and click on 'Install Themes' tab. Click on 'upload' from the top options.
Click 'Choose File' and select the zipped file and click 'Install Now' to upload and install the theme.
Check the live preview if you want and apply the changes if you like them.
For your convenience, I have handpicked a few themes, which I would describe in detail. Remember, one theme may be really good for one site, but it might be disastrous for some other site. The theme of a site goes hand in hand with the nature of the posts in it.
This theme is for the those who are fed up of the ruckus of most modern websites and need something minimal for their site. The mnmlst theme has been stripped to its bare essentials, which focuses only on the content. There is no header, no sidebar, a minimal footer, no widgets and no comments.
Very fast rendering of pages.
No distraction from the content.
No widgets mean that integration of social networks would be tough.
Blogs and websites which focus solely on the content being written and do not care about reactions of the readers, or people who want some peace of mind with an uncluttered design must use this theme.
Note that this theme is not for websites like travel blogs or photography posts which involve a lot of images. If you are planning to showcase your work, this theme would not work for you.
LitePress is a simple but powerful theme with responsive design, good for news-like websites. It involves a slideshow on the homepage of featured news with snippets. The responsive design ensures that the site renders properly to users viewing it on any device right from a full HD monitor to a smartphone with a relatively little screen.
Responsive design- makes it accessible to all users.
This theme would be great for you, if you associate every post with at least one image. The featured news section provides a chance to you to showcase the most important posts. Any news related blog would benefit a lot from this layout.
This is one site which would work out really well for a portfolio. This theme has a Pinterest-like infinite scroll feature which would go on displaying as much of content as you have. A responsive theme, Art Works ensures that you site is viewed perfectly on every possible device.
Showcases content with images well.
Free of cost responsive template.
Less chance of showing textual content.
This is yet another theme which is used to display images properly in the home page. If you are an artist or a photographer, this has to be the theme you are looking for. One thing to note here is that if any post doesn't contain an image, it would look like an odd one out in the midst of the rest.
'Children' is a great theme for a blog related to children. It would be perfect for a blog related to cartoons. Its night sky background can be pretty attractive to the young visitors of the site and the curvy fonts add to the appeal as well! A slideshow in the background also adds to the general likeness for the theme. Apart from cartoons, any other content related to tweenagers would look great in this theme.
If the prime visitors to your site are going to be ten year olds searching for their favorite cartoon characters, then this is what you should go for.


1. Only you will know he's scared to death of his co-host.
When John's brother found out he was hosting the show with a chimpanzee, the brother reminded John that those animals can "tear peoples' face off." His brotherly advice: "Don't end up on Youtube." John couldn't get that out of his mind during filming.
When you watch tonight you will see a level of fear... me leaning back at a 45 degree angle -- like my prom date did -- just trying to get out of that personal space... They go right for your business, right for your jewels.
2. Commercials from around the world are crazy.
Other countries have whole different standards of what they consider appropriate... and a more absurd sensibility. The commercials are unbelievably funny and twisted.
3. truTV is quickly becoming America's coolest network.

Milwaukee added one more practical tool to their M12 lineup. The Rivet tool, model 2550, means you can work smarter and not harder, which your forearms will be happy to hear. The tool is easy to work with and since it collects the waste, you no longer have to worry about clean up.
Think about all the products you come across that use rivets to hold pieces together. Boats, cars, bridges, buildings and even airplanes rely on rivets during construction. There are pneumatic tools to do a rivet but I believe Milwaukee is the first to have a battery operated tool for this operation.
Instead of using the brute force or your forearms, you can now just press a button and let the tool do all the work. Who wouldn't want a cool tool like this?
The 2550 is designed to pull 3/32″, 1/8″, 5/32″, 3/16″ Rivets from Aluminum, Steel, and Stainless Steel with a capacity 0.8″ Stroke Length and a 2,000 lbs. pulls force. While the tool is bigger than a hand tool, it still has a small footprint. The tool is 6.5″ long, 2.63″ wide and 10.75″ tall allowing you to still get in smaller areas if needed.
You can buy the tool as a bare tool (2550-20), with a single 15Ah battery (2550-21) or with two 1.5Ah batteries (2550-22).
Here is the cool thing about this tool, it is powered by a small M12 battery. No hoses, no compressors. The tool can pull up to 250 3/16″ stainless steel rivets or 450 1/8″ steel rivets on a single 1.5 Ah battery.
The nose piece is all metal and will hold onto a rivet in any orientation.
Insert the rivet and press the trigger. Really can't be any easier.
The grip has the classic Milwaukee rubber surface for the M12 line of tools.
On the base of the tool, there is an LED light.
For those who like to carry this on their side, it comes with a belt clip.
One great feature to this tool is after you attach the pieces, the rod will fall to the back of the tool and be caught in the compartment so they aren't littered all around your work area.
On the base of the tool is a holder that stores the heads while not in use. The heads are color coded to match with the size of your rivet.
Just below the LED light is a holder for a wrench. This is the wrench you can use to change heads for different size rivets.
I have to admit, this one is hard to critique on performance. You insert a rivet, press a button and you're done. We didn't have any issues with attaching two or more pieces together. In the end, it does exactly what Milwaukee says it will do.
The one issue we had is when you apply a rivet and the head is facing the ground, it didn't always catch the rod. Sometimes after the job was finished, the rod would fall down. It isn't a huge deal and isn't as much an issue with the tool but just something to account for.
Changing out the head is easy. You just have to be careful as it's easy to misplace the wrench or the head. Since the heads are small, just make sure you put them back in the holder right away so you don't lose them.
When we did rivet two pieces together, it always looks good and we never had any issues with it not fastening together or leaving the head sticking higher than we wanted.
The 2550-22 kit retails for about $300 at The Home Depot. The kit comes with the tool, two batteries, a charger and a bag. If you're doing a lot of riveting, then it's not a bad price. For someone doing it a couple times a year, I am not sure that I would spend the money just to have the tool sit around.
Having said that, the rivet tool is a quality tool with a lot of force and is easy to use. With the tool be able to do a variety of sizes, $300 isn't a bad price.
Bottom line, I think this is a great tool. While I don't do a ton of riveting, it's a great tool for those who do as it's easy, powerful and will not only save time but also save you from having to use force with your arms. For me, I have a hard time finding anything about this tool I don't like. I think it's a great addition for those who need a rivet tool and want to lose the air hose and compressor.
yes, i would love it as well..one day hopefully.

Sorghum is a drought-tolerant crop with a vital role in the livelihoods of millions of people in marginal areas. We examined genetic structure in this diverse crop in Africa. On the continentwide scale, we identified three major sorghum populations (Central, Southern, and Northern) that are associated with the distribution of ethnolinguistic groups on the continent. The codistribution of the Central sorghum population and the Nilo-Saharan language family supports a proposed hypothesis about a close and causal relationship between the distribution of sorghum and languages in the region between the Chari and the Nile rivers. The Southern sorghum population is associated with the Bantu languages of the Niger-Congo language family, in agreement with the farminglanguage codispersal hypothesis as it has been related to the Bantu expansion. The Northern sorghum population is distributed across early Niger-Congo and Afro-Asiatic language family areas with dry agroclimatic conditions. At a finer geographic scale, the genetic substructure within the Central sorghum population is associated with language-group expansions within the Nilo-Saharan language family. A case study of the seed system of the Pari people, a Western-Nilotic ethnolinguistic group, provides a window into the social and cultural factors involved in generating and maintaining the continent-wide diversity patterns. The age-grade system, a cultural institution important for the expansive success of this ethnolinguistic group in the past, plays a central role in the management of sorghum landraces and continues to underpin the resilience of their traditional seed system.

Closed captioning for this video is available on YouTube: MacMost Now 935: What's New In OS X Mavericks.
Hi, this is Gary with MacMost Now. On today�s episode let�s take a look at what is new in Mac OS X Mavericks.
Let�s start by taking a look at two major new apps. The first one is iBooks. Now for a longtime people have been asking for a Mac version of iBooks and here we go. We�ve got it now. Basically this accesses the same account that you use for iBooks in the iPad and iPhone. You will have all your books there and you can download the ones that you want and you can also go to the bookstore, here, and purchase books. So you�ve got the ability to do this here and in iTunes as well.
In the library you can see the books that you�ve got. You can go into them. It is pretty straight forward. I does open in multiple windows so you can have a window for the book and you can have a window for say the entire iBooks interface here with your books in it. You can shrink the window. You can enlarge it. You�ve got all the same controls, maybe a little bit more, for viewing here on the Mac that you do on the iPad. You�ve got bookmarks, you�ve got table of contents, the ability to highlight things, and then leave notes. You can search. You can go into a very nice full screen mode and easily navigate using the keyboard. So there is a lot you can do here.
You�ve also got the ability to use interactive books. So if we go back to the main library here you can see I�ve got an interactive book here and these are books especially made for the iBooks store that have lots of animation and video and sound and interactive things like quizzes and models, 3-D models you can manipulate. Things like that.
So the other major app, of course, is Maps. This is the equivalent to Maps on the iPhone and iPad. Apple�s made it in an app rather than through a web browser probably for speed. It can access the data in a custom way through an app instead of going through a web page. It pretty much works as you would expect. You can bring things up. You can go for satellite views. You can go in and get directions. There is a 3-D view in here. You can zoom in and get the fly over data. Move around. So it is pretty good. It is pretty much the equivalent to what you would expect. It is just that you don�t now have to reach for your iOS device to access all this. You can do it right here on your Mac.
Now there have been two major improvements to the Finder. The first one is Tabs. So now you have a normal window here in the Finder and it looks pretty much the same as it did in Mountain Lion. I�m going to go to File and instead of a new Finder window I�m going to create a new Tab. Command T is how you do it. Just like in the browser.
Now I�ve got two Tabs I can look at so I can easily navigate through both of them separately. If I wanted to copy a file from one to another, say I wanted to take one from Work Docs here, I can drag it and move it to this tab here and it would open up and then I could drop it there and vice versa. You can see it appears there. So you�ve got Tabs which is very nice and you can add as many as you want. It should clean up a lot of clutter here on the desktop.
In addition now we also have Tags. So you can select a file that you want and you�ve got the Tags button here is one way to add it. You can see here I�ve got the colored labels that we had before. So labels now basically morphed into tags but instead of just being limited to just these colors and that�s all you can do, you can create your own. I�ve created two here. I can create another one by simply typing. You can see I�ve created it and I�ve assigned it to this file there. I can go into here and you can see that one is available too. I can add it for it. I can add multiple ones. So Project 1 and Project 3 for that one.
Then in the sidebar here you can see I�ve got those projects. I can go to basically a little smart search that show me those projects here. This will allow for better organizing. So you can say put your photos in a photos folder but your videos in a videos folder. And if some of those folders or some of the videos are part of Project 1 you can assign tags to them and then view them altogether without having to move them out of their folders. So files don�t have to be in one place anymore. It is very similar to having albums in iPhoto or playlists in iTunes.
Now one app that has gotten a major overhaul is the Calendar app. You can see here it looks completely different. It doesn�t have any of that wood grain paper design going on here. It looks at lot more like the iOS stuff. It is just a lot cleaner. A white background. There is some nice little features in it. Being able to access maps and things like that in the interface a little cleaner. It is just a much nicer display to look through even though, of course, it is a calendar. So it basically does the same thing as previous calendars.
So you can see here that both Notes and the Contacts app have also gotten new looks to them although the functionality is basically the same. It is a little streamlined and they are a little nicer to use now.
There is lots of little things of course. There is always going to be tons of little changes and sometimes people find those very useful. Like for instance here in Battery you can see it says collecting power usage information when I click on battery. It is actually going to come up with, after a little bit of time, some information about if there are any apps it finds that are using a lot of power. In this case it shows no apps. But if I was running a bunch of them and I really wanted to know what was draining the battery it is interesting to have that indicator.
Safari is pretty much the same but it brings up this new concept of a sidebar. We�ve had that before. You clicked on Reading List and you saw your reading list here. But Bookmarks is now there as well. You can basically use this left sidebar for Bookmarks and Reading List. It will even show you links from your Twitter feed if you set up Twitter in your System Preferences. So it kind of creates this other way to surf with stuff here in the sidebar similar to ways you�ve seen in other apps with items in a sidebar and then viewing here in the window. It kind of reminds me of how Mail works and how iTunes used to work. Some people will definitely find this kind of useful.
We also have the iCloud Keychain. So you are going to have similar functionality as before. Inside of Preferences here you can see, under Passwords, I�ve got websites and I can look at the passwords that have been saved for different websites and better manage what is saved. But the neat thing, of course, is that this will sync with iCloud so on my other Mac I will have the same passwords and ID�s for sites and of course this will happen over iOS as well.
You�ve also got new multiple screen functionality in Mavericks. It is hard to show here but basically you can have docks across your screen and menu bars across your screens making it easier to work with multiple displays.
So there is a quick overview of what is new in Mavericks. Of course I will be going into more detail of some of these features in future episode and tutorials at MacMost.com.

Thank you for the excellent video on using Mavericks in the app store. I bought it and I'm learning a lot. Well done and well worth the money.
Gary… good stuff, as always. I bought your video guide to Mavericks in the App Store for a refresher and update – your usual helpful and well paced presentation. I did notice that the first video following the Introduction is entitled "What's New in Mountain Lion" – did you intend that title or should it have said Mavericks instead of Mountain Lion?
It was just me typing the wrong thing. I'll correct it in the first update.
I've been on the road since before Mavericks was announced, but I'm looking forward to downloading and installing it as soon as I get home tomorrow. Thanks for your helpful videos, helping me to get ready.
how do I get the Documents folder listed again in the side bar?
The sidebar is a different animal. You don't use it like that. Dragging things "away" from the sidebar will just remove them from the sidebar. Go to Finder, Preferences, Sidebar and re-check "Documents" to get it back.
I would really appreciate a little tutorial about the new Keychain program that comes with Mavericks. I must have 50 passwords now and it drives me potty trying to remeber them all.
How do you install One password for all of the different sites?
What Spice means is the app 1Password. I highly recommend it myself. Use it all the time. 1Password.
1Password has plugins for all the major browsers. It is also a desktop app and has a separate IOS app.
It does a lot more than just remember passwords for websites. It helps you make more secure passwords with a password generator.
It also lets you enter all your credit card information securely and info for all your software keys and such.
It can live in Dropbox and now iCloud.
I've been using it for a couple years now and no longer use the same user name and password everywhere.
I can't find a way to add additional items to the Finder toolbar now. You explained how to do this previously in Episode 276, and I added a link to a spreadsheet and one to open an application; however, this method doesn't seem to work with Mavericks. Am I doing something wrong?
You can add items as before, but perhaps the ability to put apps in there is no longer available.
I had another look at this after reading your comment. You now have to press the CMD key while you drag, which displays the green + icon, and you drop on the toolbar as before. You can also add applications using this method. With Mountain Lion you simply dragged to the toolbar, waited a second until the green + icon appeared, and dropped.
Thanks for all the videos, I've watched lots of them and learned a lot about Macs (previously a long term Windows user).
How are you finding Safari post-Mavericks install? I find I'm getting slight horizontal movement when scrolling up and down, which makes reading a little uncomfortable. Any idea if its something you can disable? I don't think I use a single website where you'd want to scroll horizontally across the page!
Not sure what you mean. I'm not noticing anything like that. Perhaps your browser window is too narrow?
On the new tags is there a way that we can tag applications like iPhoto and Adobe light room, I have tried to put tags on those and it won't let me. Also are you going to make use of use of the new web site push notification I really like that feature in the new mavericks and have already done it on some of the web sites I go to.
Tags are for files. I don't know why you would want to tag an application.
I thought about the push feature, but I don't think it makes sense for MacMost's content (tutorials) or the audience.
Well I was able to do it for some of my application, the reason I am doing it is so that I can search for all of my photo editing apps under one tag, my movie editing under another tag so I can pull it up quickly instead of going through my application, do you have another idea for this?
I would create a folder somewhere in your documents folder called Apps. I would put subfolders in it like "Photo Editing." I would then put aliases to your apps in there, like Photoshop and Pixelmator, etc. Then I would drag that folder to the right side of the Dock. I would set it to "List" view, sort by name.
Looks fine thus far, except for when I try to save an image from the web. The process follows as before (except this time I'm offered the chance to add a tag to the image) but then I get the spinning wheel of death, until my browser crashes. This happens for both Safari and Chrome.
Any idea why it would do this?
Hard to say why that would happen. Not typical, certainly. Maybe needs a Genius Bar visit.
I live in a country without an Apple store (which is why I use your site so much!), so I've followed the 'send a report to Apple' prompt and done exactly that. Not sure if they'll read it – they probably get thousands of them, worldwide.
It turns out if I select 'save to downlaod folder' there's no problem, but if I 'save to…' a folder, it crashes.
Gary, Enjoyed the intro. Have you come across a problem with external hard drives being wiped of data when used with Mavericks. I know some people it has happened to and am afraid to connect my external drive.
I haven't heard of that. I use lots of external drives and haven't had any issues.
It appears to be a problem with WD drives mostly. Will let you know if I get any more details.
Your Mavericks Tutorial App is fabulous!
Just new to Mac and it answered a ton of questions.
Looking forward to more such Apps.
Thanks for the great introductory video. I can always count on you to point out features that will be very helpful. The Finder updates are awesome. Keep up the excellent work; you are greatly appreciated.
Can I migrate my time machine from my Mavericks mac to my mountain lion mac?
Not sure what you mean by "migrate." If you are using Time Machine now (you should be) then you keep using it after the update. No change, no action needed on your part.
Sorry I didn't explain myself very well. I have a new iMac with Mountain Lion. I need to use my time machine back up from my dead MBP with Mavericks to put on the new iMac. Can I do it at set up or do I need to get Mavericks on the iMac first?
I would upgrade your iMac to Mavericks, then use Time Machine to restore that user account to the iMac.
Thanks Gary. You are where I always go to find the right info. Please don't ever stop!

Wizz Air acting like a national carrier
Christian Keszthelyi
Started 11 years ago to provide rock-bottom ticket prices, the airline has added extras, for those who don't mind paying more. It still offers cheap flights, and serves more destinations than anyone else flying from Hungary. Wizz Air is soaring, and according to the CEO, it is "Hungary's de facto national carrier".
A new, rebranded Wizz Air jet.
The biggest airline based in Hungary seems to be flying ever higher; in the fiscal year ending March 31, Wizz Air's passenger numbers rose 18%, to 16.4 million, and its net profit rose 67%, to €146 million. Started as a cheap alternative airline based in Budapest, Wizz Air is still remarkably affordable. But since the 2012 demise of the former national carrier Malév Hungarian Airlines, Wizz also provides more service to Hungary than any other airline.
"Wizz Air is Hungary's de facto national carrier. We fly the Hungarian flag. We offer the most airline seats to the Hungarian market. We offer the most destinations from Budapest and Debrecen – 47 right now and that number is rising constantly," CEO József Váradi (pictured) told the Budapest Business Journal.
Indeed, the growth of Wizz Air means that evermore people are arriving in the city, providing a boon to everyone in the tourism business, including Budapest's Liszt Ferenc Airport, which served a record 9,155,000 passengers last year.
The Wizz formula used to be based exclusively on being the cheapest service in the air. It is still usually the cheapest ticket in or out of Budapest, but it also allows its passengers to upgrade their services – whether its with priority boarding, through reserving seats, buying in-flight snacks or increasing the maximum size of their carry on bag.
"Our drive is to deliver a great service at the lowest possible cost. Consumers have a choice now, and may tailor their travel experience as they wish. If you are on a budget, you may just buy a seat at a low cost. If you want more amenities, you can add services to the base fare at very reasonable costs. People clearly like this proposition," Váradi explained.
According to the CEO, air travel is becoming a "commodity more and more", and what definitely puts Wizz Air among the market leaders is that the "lowest cost wins and Wizz Air is one of the lowest cost producers in the European airline industry". However, he insists that low cost does not mean low quality. "With Wizz Air it is just the opposite; it is actually very high quality. We fly modern Airbus A320 aircraft, delivered brand new from the manufacturer, one of the youngest fleets in Europe, and we operate very efficiently with high on-time performance," Váradi said. In celebrating its 11th anniversary this year, Wizz Air launched a rejuvenation and rebranding campaign, even changing the design of its planes. According to Váradi, the market is also changing.
"Eleven years ago, it was all about democratizing air travel, getting people into the franchise and at the time we said 'now we can all fly'. Today is more about the opportunities air travel may bring to people, what you can do as a result of traveling. Therefore, we are saying 'welcome to the world of opportunity'. This is our way of remaining relevant to the consumer," he said.
Missing the big spenders
While Wizz Air may indeed be the country's de facto carrier, some in the tourism industry, like Bálint Erdei, president of the Association of Hungarian Travel Agencies (MUISZ), say they miss the days when the state helped support Malév in offering passengers from many destinations the convenience of direct flights, even if those flights were more expensive. "It is really positive that there are many low-cost airlines, like Wizz Air, connecting European cities to Budapest, making Hungary a cheap, achievable destination. This also helps Hungarians in traveling around. This very fact indeed raises the number of tourists arriving to Hungary," Erdei told the BBJ. "However, the country needs tourists who are willing to spend more in the country. Business tourism could also be beneficial for the country, which would require the existence of a national carrier. Since Malév was grounded, the lack of a national carrier can be felt in the market."
Erdei maintained that a fancier airline would bring big spenders, who would be a boon to tourism here. "I believe more money should be spent on advertising the possibilities the country can offer in order to attract tourists who are willing to spend more in the country," he said. "Currently we do not spend enough on popularizing the country, therefore we put our competitors into an advantageous position."
Henry Kallan, who has just opened the five-star Aria Hotel Budapest (see page 14), said that the definite benefit of a true national carrier would be state subsidies to support more direct flights to Budapest. "There is no question that not having direct flights does not encourage people to come here," said Kallan, who is based in New York City. Although Wizz Air has direct flights from many European capitals, it does not yet serve the United States.
"It is hard for Budapest to compete without having direct flights, having to change flights always makes it less pleasant – you could miss your flight at the connection, and it just takes longer," Kallan said. "It would be easier if there was a national carrier, like there used to be with Malév. It makes it difficult for the luxury market. However, for people who can afford it and have the desire to come here, they will."
Building capital
In fact the 2012 grounding of Malév, which held a monopoly on the best terminals at Budapest's airport as well as certain routes, really helped Wizz Air grow, and Váradi promised that the number of destinations will continue to increase. To help fund further expansion, the company has listed itself on the London Stock Exchange, with shares trading since the beginning of this year.
"Now we can have access to capital should the development of the business require it. Being a London listed company gives us a much improved credit standing to benefit from lower-cost asset financing, and we have a lot of aircraft to be delivered," Váradi said. "Also, our enhanced liquidity makes us a more formidable competing force. All these will benefit the consumers as we will be able to do more for less."
For the future, Váradi said the path forward is clear. "We will continue to grow our business and offer more destinations, more services and products, and deliver all of that at the lowest possible cost. We will remain focused on the core disciplines of the ultra-low-cost business model," he said. "We have 140 aircraft to be delivered in the next decade. That will create plenty of opportunities for those who want to get great value while traveling – and who doesn't?"

I hope there is no remaining bugs.
Also, I could not test the game on Windows and Mac.
It's in python3, as requested in the discussion, and uses pygame. Let me know if there is something not working and I will upload a corrected version.
Already Wednesday and I haven't done any diary entries yet.
Well, I'd rather spend my time coding.
- I have a lot of free time (by chance, I don't have that much deadline this week), so I progress quickly.
- I enjoy coding this small project, more than I was expecting from the initial idea. I experiment with small visual details (sound and animation when the rover bumps on obstacle, cut-scenes for the story). That may be only relevant for me, but I think it's part of what makes the final game look good.
- this theme was my least favourite one. I'm a bit disappointed the theme is not reflected in the game play. In the original idea, the limitation of the robot was justified by the fact that "they" control all the good robots and that you have to use the busted one. But this story was to complicated to exploit. I hope the link I've made, visible only at the end, will not look like to far-fetched.


This pioneering program uses digital video story telling workshops to encourage US and Israeli veterans to visually portray their personal story.This experience helps them to make sense of their traumatic experience to facilitate the process of healing for those suffering from PTSD.
Based on survey results from the hundreds of American veterans who have participated in the workshops, participants report a 20% average decrease in PTSD symptoms over the course of the workshop.
To date, six joint workshops have been conducted in the US and Israel, with additional workshops currently being scheduled in Israel and the US.

Situation created by Modi government 'worse than Emergency': Yashwant Sinha
Hazaribag: Two days after quitting the BJP, former union minister Yashwant Sinha has alleged that the situation during the last four years of the Narendra Modi government was "worse than Emergency".
Sinha, who resigned from the BJP and taken 'sanyas' (retirement) from party politics on April 21, has also claimed that the people in the country were feeling insecure due to the actions of the Modi government, which, he said, has "destroyed the temple of democracy".
Talking to reporters yesterday at his home, about 8 km from here, Sinha said that his resignation had nothing to do with the birthday of his son Union Minister Jayant Sinha.
He said it was just a mere coincidence that his son's birthday was on the same day he had resigned from the BJP.
"The situation created by the Modi government is even worse than the Emergency proclaimed by Indira Gandhi," Sinha alleged, adding that no community was feeling secure due to the actions of the present government at the Centre.
Referring to the washout of the Budget session of Parliament, he claimed that it was the Modi government which did not want it to function smoothly as it did not want to face the no-confidence motion despite the opposition demand.
The former external affairs minister pointed out that former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had not hesitated to table the no-confidence motion in 1998 when his government had fallen by just one vote.
But the present government did not care to maintain the sanctity of Parliament, Sinha alleged and expressed concern over what he called as the government's approach to control the Supreme Court, the Election Commission and gagging of the press.
He said this was the reason why he took the responsibility of protecting democracy and described as 'unprecedented' the impeachment notice against the CJI challenging his style of functioning.
Sinha also questioned the use of agencies such as CBI, NIA, ED and Income Tax by the government for "harassing and gagging opposition leaders".
Asked what he would do after quitting the BJP, Sinha said he will continue his fight for protecting the cause of the distressed farmers, workers of the unorganized sector, youth, students and weaker section of society by addressing meetings throughout the country.
Alleging that there is no inner democracy in the BJP, he said, "Leaders will speak and the cadres will remain silent as they have no guts to raise their voices."
Without naming anyone, he said that a large number of people were backing him and supporting his fight for saving democracy in the country.

Fifteen on Friday is a space where I write about something related to my experience of disability and illness. It stems from 'five-minute Friday when I followed prompts set by the originator of the site, and I do this with her blessing. It takes me fifteen minutes often, to type what others would type in five, usually just because I get so tired!
This week, it's a subject that really riles me, and so I will do my best not to rant. I should acknowledge as well, that I do this too, though I shouldn't, given how annoyed I get when people do it to me. So what is it that so annoys me? I can't stand people making 'snap' decisions based on a snippet of information, or on how I look, specifically snap decisions on the severity or lack thereof, of my disability, or that I 'look' healthy, so I am healthy, which just drives me mad. Someone else said recently that 'I hide being ill very well!' I think so too!
It would be a lot easier to say, 'I know the truth, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks', but I've always cared. My friend known as 'Chronic Rants' blogged how it bugs her people always have to see the negatives in new treatments she tries, or tell her horror stories of how it went wrong for their friend's friend, their mother, or who ever. Again, people making snap judgements based on a little information. Chronic Rants admits she does it, far too often. I do too. It still smarts when I am on the receiving end.
But you don't look disabled!
If I am sat in a chair, or laid in a bed, I don't 'look' disabled (nor would I want to). The irony is, neglect to take my cocktail of tablets and I look very disabled indeed, flailing about with arms and legs, shaking when I hold anything, doubled over in pain (which I often am even with the tablets). People see me looking 'normal' therefore and think 'her disability is not that bad' and voice it. I've even had a consultant pummel my arm years ago trying to find a vein, with me almost in tears 'what's wrong?' he says.
He says, incredulously, 'You have cerebral palsy? Nobody told me (no surprise there!) But you don't look like you have cerebral palsy'.
He's not the only one. Nurses have made me walk because I don't look disabled enough to need a hospital wheelchair, so I'd only have to walk the wee bit to the taxi) and others have asked 'But how do you manage at home?' Erm… that's the point (of asking for help) I don't. I have invisible disabilities, but I also have a physical disability that looks invisible in certain situations… weird!
However, they don't see the exhaustion after a few steps, the physio does, or the pain shooting down my legs from trying to stay upright with a Zimmer frame after said steps. They don't see all the things I can't do that I have to ask 'sidekicks' to do, while wishing I didn't have to ask so often. They don't see me doubled over in pain, the professionals in and out of my flat, be they joint care manager, agency manager, nurses, 'sidekicks', other nurses for appointments, and house visits from doctors when I can't even make it down a street or two to the surgery.
Yes, I know, I should put the violins away now!! I am thankful that I can talk (though others may not be when I just don't shhhh!!), I have an electric wheelchair to get about (though it doesn't fit in taxis — another story!) and I can move my arms and legs enough to do some things (eat, drink, choose lighter weight products in the supermarket, drive my wheelchair (badly…!) and so on.
It's something I have to live with, but that will continue to bug me! I guess we all have pet hates like that!

Well it's been an interesting day. Currently at the time of posting this comic "which is just under twelve hours since it actually gets posted" my brother is poorly. He's got a cold, and it's pretty bad, mostly because he stresses himself out so much and makes it worse for himself.
I've barely gotten any sleep due to him being sick all night, and currently I'm having to make do with not having sound on with this computer due to a plug socket having to be used for the TV in our bedroom. You see, he's laying in bed... blowing his nose and sneezing everywhere, both without the use of tissues. Yeah, my little brother is quite the nightmare.
Moving on from that, I more or less made this comic, because... well... it just occurred to me that the quote about the definition of insanity that everyone likes to reference, is also basically the definition of something that all programming languages use. Which made me realize just how stupid that quote is.
All I did then was add a Bloodborne reference, since it's basically the newest Dark Souls out at the time of writing, and everyone knows how much you have to repeat the same thing on those games.
Knowing that Steve doesn't like Dark Souls and Becky does, the rest of the comic practically wrote itself.


The old Easter Bunny has been visiting The Speech Room and wanted me to share these ideas with you! I used these foam eggs to write positional concepts. The kids had to find the matches and then use them to demonstrate the concept. I used these eggs that I got last year after easter for 25 cents. Who can pass up that deal. In the past, I have stuffed them with boardmaker pictures for grammar and other goals. This year, I just couldn't get into putting that much work into these eggs in between groups. So I found these little Easter erasers at Target. There are bunnies, eggs, and carrots. I put them in about 8 of the eggs and I let the kids pull eggs. The kiddo with the most mini items at the end was the 'winner.' Ok next up – I had to upgrade my puny Boardmaker symbols for 'There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick" when I saw Katie's amazing printables. I ditched my boring pictures and used hers! Aren't they great? Go visit her site and then come right back! I used the pieces with my Granny during circle time, but then I wanted to make some type of follow up game. I used library pockets (got mine from Lakeshore), with each piece of the story on the front. You can laminate them and then re-cut them open with a knife. For most of my kids, we talked about vocab and then did some following directions activities. I hid these little jumping bunnies inside and we listened for clues (identifying functions!) to decide which bunny they could pull (ie: What can you eat?). Then we played with our hopping bunny describing who went near/far, under/over and fast/slow! Just another little Easter Bonus from a SRN follower: Emily Meagher. Thanks for sending in your ideas Emily! You can grab this Easter Egg game for irregular plurals and an Easter basket. It's based off of my 'Pocket Monster" Games. Emily also found these cute Easter Character Cups. They would be easy to work in for many of your groups! She already came up with some great comprehension question that you can grab here! Oh and P.S. – I added a 'Donate' button to my side bar after a suggestion from a follower! Creating free printables and blogging about therapy ideas is really something I enjoy doing! That being said – it really does take a lot of work to take the time to blog it for you all, so if you want to donate a little something that would be great (and help me pay for the clipart!) I'm so thankful for all of you being followers! You rock! What are you doing for Easter?
LOVE all these ideas as usual Jenna! Fantastic work! 🙂 Thanks for sharing my old lady activity!
great great ideas! love them!

Compatible with Rowley's CrossConnect, IAR EWARM and GCC (OCD) software for programming, real time emulation, debugging, step by step program execution, breakpoints, memory dump etc. Everything a high priced emulator can do and more!
Works with free GCC C compiler and Insight tool chain and debugger.
In general, LPC21xx are very new parts. And for some unknown reason, Philips doesn't disclose how to program LPC21xx Flash via JTAG. This has delayed the development of third party IDEs. Perhaps Philips is having problems with the Flash programming and is going to change the protocol in future. This is currently why they force end users to use their bootloader IAP protocol. The only vendor so far to work around this is Rowley. They first load in RAM small own bootloader which then receives data from the JTAG interface and feeds the packets into IAP to write to Flash segments. This is current the easiest to use product for the LPC21xx parts.
Jim Lynch's tutorial for setting up the free GCC/GNU tool chain. The example software is available here.
GCC C compiler from Macraigor Systems. Works smoothly with ARM-JTAG but can't program Flash and user can compile debug programs in RAM then re-build for Flash and use Philips' RS232 bootloader.
EWARM C compiler and debugger (free for assembly language, 16K limit for C) from IAR Systems. Can't program LPC21xx Flash, user can debug and program only in RAM, then re-build project and use Philips' ISP utility to load the program through RS232 bootloader. C-SPY driver for ARM-JTAG have some glitches on newer and faster computers and does several crashes before connect to target. It works fine on older and slower computers though. According to IAR, they are going to fix this to the end of February 2004.
SwiftX software development system for the ARM family works with the ARM-JTAG for live interactive debugging of the Atmel AT91 ARM core family (using Atmel's EB40, EB40A, etc. development boards). Port for the ST ARM parts coming soon.

Saudi National Student Kills 3, Injures 8 in Shooting at Naval Air Station in Pensacola
By Melanie Arter | December 6, 2019 | 3:32pm EST
(CNSNews.com) - A Saudi national opened fire on a classroom at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., on Friday, killing three people and wounding eight others.
Base commander Capt. Timothy Kinsella said at a press conference Friday that the gunman was a student who was receiving aviation training at the time.
Hundreds of international students receive aviation training at the base, the Navy Times reported.
President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting and spoke to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
"Just received a full briefing on the tragic shooting at NAS Pensacola in Florida, and spoke to @GovRonDeSantis. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. We are continuing to monitor the situation as the investigation is ongoing," the president tweeted.
Trump said that Saudi Arabia called to offer condolences to the victims and their families.
"King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida," the president tweeted.
"The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people," he added.

A passenger of the transportation service Grab recently went viral for her conversation with one of the drivers, wherein she degraded the latter for his profession.
This was seen by the screen grabbed photos that Grab PH Stories shared on Facebook.
The passenger apparently texted the Grab driver first , advising him to be friendly towards his passengers and said that she had a crush on him.
The driver then said that the passenger could offer him some consideration as she lived in what he called a narrow alley and passing through would scrath his car, adding that the scratches cost more money to be repaired than the passenger's payment.
The passenger then erupted and acted out in rage towards the driver.
Irritated, the driver said that the passenger came from the squatter's area, she said that she is actually rich and living in a condo.
She said she was only in the area to take a bath and prepare for work at a friend's house because they were experiencing a power outage at the condo.
The driver laughed at the passenger, telling her he's been residing at a condo for 3 years and they rarely have extended power outages because condos have generators. He also pointed out that the proper term in 'living', not 'leaving'; however, the woman scoffed at this, blaming auto-correct on her iPhone.
She further insulted the driver in her additional messages.
The conversation got a lot of negative reactions from netizens.
"Kaloka si ate porke nkagrab feeling rickkid wannabe na. Pinoy nga nmn. adjust2 din pag mi time," said a Soledad Xtine.
The post has garnered over 27,000 likes and over 13,000 shares.


When I hear Perfect fit, I wonder, going from micro to macro… being physically fit, wearing clothes that fit, then moulding to fit into a community. there are parameters, of perfection Ellen Hopkins puts in perfectly.
Perfection who defines it for us? we do, so it is essentially a perception. I mean perfection is perfection. But the fit, is both a perception and is quantitative. Fit sometimes involves dimensions, sometimes complimentary shapes and pattern.
Yet we all have those times when things don't quite fit. It can get embarrassing at times. Like this one time when I wore this dress, I fooled myself into saying it is a good fit and not usual extra large sloppy comfort clothes I wore, I actually felt very trendy and in shape, the 20 extra kilos seemed to dissipated into oblivion. Took the auto from malleshwaram to Regalis in Infantry road. I get off the auto very elegantly and sit in the lobby.
My friend was supposed to visit me, she didn't turn up, so pretending to need to use the rest room I walk in, and at the mirror I confront a neat, split right from my shoulder to my waist. The trendy top now looked like the road side version of Rohit Bahl!!
I was totally aghast, i quickly paid for the limbu pani, put the bag to cover the tear and quickly paced out glancing at the watch. Once I came out, I could breathe, the next thing I did was entered the first store that sold readymade garments… it happened to be Maxx, the sales girl was very charming, I told her I needed something that I could wear immediately. Phew!!
By and large fitting into groups and situations does not really bother me much. Right from school everyone had their little group. Even the people nobody likes seemed to tolerate each other enough to sit together at lunch. But I would kind of wander around by myself most of the time. It'd almost be better if I thought no one liked me. if I had some weird tick or social inadequacy that would have explained my situation, but it was that simple, people did talk to me at school, they invite me to parties but something is missing on the smaller, I don't belong anywhere, I don't fit into patterns and grooves.
But yeah! Rah! Rah! Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who open the doors differently and open different doors. Those who are not fond of rules. Those who no respect for status quo. You can quote us, disagree with us glorify or vilify them but you can't ignore us. for we change things. We push the human race forward though people call us misfit, I would say we are the ones who herald the changes for we know we don't change for the world, but we ensure the world changes for us.
Between you and me, I agree with Sabstyne Young.

Q.	What is the situation of children in Bangladesh today? What economic or social factors affect them the most?
ND: There are over sixty million children in Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh has a stable and growing economy, half of these children continue to live below the international poverty line. All children have rights, yet children in Bangladesh face a range of difficult issues that hamper their survival and development and prevent the full realisation of their rights. Children are facing challenges on protection, health and education. Q.	What do you think SOS Bangladesh has accomplished in the past 40 years?
ND: During last 40 years, SOS Bangladesh has taken total care of the children who lost their parental care by providing them a loving home at SOS Children's Villages, providing them possible education and training for their effective integration into the society.
During the last 40 years around 836 children from SOS Children's Villages have been integrated into society and living on their own income, around 112,200 beneficiaries have been benefited through our Family Strengthening Programme, around 9,000 children have received quality education through our SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools/Colleges, around 2,000 youths have received vocational training through our SOS Vocational Training Centres.
Q.	How have the children who left SOS Bangladesh fared in life? Please provide an overview.
ND: Majority of our integrated youths who left SOS facilities have been living in the society on their own income with dignity according to their capabilities. Some of them are also facing hardship maintaining their lives due to unemployment.
ND: The youth of SOS Bangladesh face challenges to find suitable employment after completing their education.
Our first priority is the 'education of our children'. We are preparing our children for todays world by providing them need based education and training. We ensure the successful integration of our children into the society as decent human being.
Q.	The role of the mother is crucial in the SOS family setup. How difficult is it today to get mothers for SOS children in Bangladesh? What are the challenges that mothers face while working with SOS families?
ND: Now-a-days it is really challenging for us to get suitable SOS Mothers for SOS Children's Villages in Bangladesh.
Q.	What are your visions for SOS Bangladesh in the next five years?

Q: advanced search with configurable product in Magento I have a clothing e-commerce website. I created color and size attributes and used them with configurable products. The configurable products have at least two associated products and those associated products have color and size options.
When I use advanced search to search items with a specified size attribute, nothing shows up on the result page. I guess it is because associated products' visibility is set to "Nowhere".
How do fix this?

A: Above answer might suffice in some cases. I however experienced same problem as 'Moon' indicated in this thread, even though all visibility settings where correct for the configurable product (visibility 'catalog and search') and the attributes (show in advanced search 'yes').
E.g. a configurable product consisting of articles in size range 36 to 42 did only show size 36 in search results. Sizes 38 - 42 did not give any search result even though 'active', 'visible', 'in stock' etc..
I set up the associated products within the configurable products using the 'quick create option'
I managed to solve the issue as follows:
Setting the visibility of ONE associated product - one simple product within a configurable product - from 'not visible individually' to 'search' , saving the item and then changing back from visibility 'search' to 'not visible individually' solved the problem for ALL productvariations (thus all simple products) within the configurable products.
So changing the above for associated product size 38, suddenly revealed search results for all sizes,
It seems to be that the 'flag' in the table which should show the result in advanced search is not set correctly in first instance but only after a 're-edit'as explained above. I will dig into this further - when time allows ;-) . Don't know yet whether this is a Magento bug or is related to database or server settings.
Hope this will help someone who faces same situation.
Post-remark (edit):re-indexing ALL indexes not just the one that Magento advises to re-index might help too in this case.

A: Configurable products should be indexed with the attributes of their associated products, regardless of the visibility of those products.
I'd suggest checking that the configurable products don't have visibility set to include them in search results. Also, refreshing the search index may fix the problem.

Q: Linked List v.s. Binary Search Tree Insertion Time Complexity Linked List
A linked list's insertion time complexity is O(1) for the actual operation, but requires O(n) time to traverse to the proper position. Most online resources list a linked list's average insertion time as O(1):
https://stackoverflow.com/a/17410009/10426919
https://www.bigocheatsheet.com/
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/time-complexities-of-different-data-structures/

BST
A binary search tree's insertion requires the traversal of nodes, taking O(log n) time.
Problem
Am I mistaken to believe that insertion in a BST also takes O(1) time for the actual operation?
Similar to the nodes of a linked list, an insertion of a node in a BST will simply point the current node's pointer to the inserted-node, and the inserted-node will point to the current node's child node.
If my thinking is correct, why do most online resources list the average insert time for a BST to be O(log n), as opposed to O(1) like for a linked list?
It seems that for linked list, the actual insertion time is listed as the insertion time complexity, but for BST, the traversal time is listed as the insertion time complexity.

A: A binary search tree is ordered, and it's typically balanced (to avoid O(n) worst-case search times), which means that when you insert a value some amount of shuffling has to be done to balance out the tree. That rebalancing takes an average of O(log n) operations, whereas a Linked List only needs to update a fixed number of pointers once you've found your place to insert an item between nodes.

A: It reflects the usage. It's O(1) and O(log n) for the operations you'll actually request from them.
With a BST, you'll likely let it manage itself while you stay out of the implementation details. That is, you'll issue commands like tree.insert(value) or queries like tree.contains(value). And those things take O(log n).
With a linked list, you'll more likely manage it yourself, at least the positioning. You wouldn't issue commands like list.insert(value, index), unless the index is very small or you don't care about performance. You're more likely to issue commands like insertAfter(node, newNode) or insertBeginning(list, newNode), which do only take O(1) time. Note that I took these two from Wikipedia's Linked list operations > Singly linked lists section, which doesn't even have an operation for inserting at a certain position given as an index. Because in reality, you'll manage the "position" (in the form of a node) with the algorithm that uses the linked list, and the time to manage the position is attributed to that algorithm instead. That can btw also be O(1), examples are:

*

*You're building a linked list from an array. You'll do this by keeping a variable referencing the last node. To append the next value/node, insert it after that last node (an O(1) operation indeed), and update your variable to reference the new last node instead (also O(1)).

*Imagine you don't find a position with a linear scan but with a hash map, storing references directly to linked list nodes. Then looking up the reference takes O(1) and inserting after the looked-up node also again only takes O(1) time.

If you had shown us some of those "Most online resources list a linked list's average insertion time as O(1)", we'd likely see that they're indeed showing insertion operations like insertAfterNode, not insertAtIndex. Edit now that you included some links in the question: My thoughts on those sources regarding the O(1) insertion for linked lists: The first one does point out that it's O(1) only if you already have something like an "iterator to the location". The second one in turn refers to the same Wikipedia section I showed above, i.e., with insertions after a given node or at the beginning of a list. The third one is, well, the worst site about programming I know, so I'm not surprised they just say O(1) without any further information.
Put differently, as I like real-world analogies: If you ask me how much it costs to replace part X inside a car motor, I might say $200, even though the part only costs $5. Because I wouldn't do that myself. I'd let a mechanic do that, and I'd have to pay for their work. But if you ask me how much it costs to replace the bell on a bicycle, I might say $5 when the bell costs $5. Because I'd do the replacing myself.

A: To insert into a linked list, you just need to maintain the end node of the list (assuming you are inserting at the end).
To insert into a binary search tree (BST), and to maintain the BST after insertion, there is no way you can do that in O(1) - since the tree might re-balance. This operation is not as simple as inserting into a linked list.
Check out some of the examples here.

A: The insertion time of a Linked List is actually depends on where you are inserting and the types of Linked List.
For example consider the following cases:

*

*You are using a single linked list and you are going to insert at the end / middle, you would have running time of O(n) to traverse the list till the end node or middle node.

*You are using double linked list (with two pointer first pointer points to head element and second pointer points to last element) and you are going to insert at the end, this time still you would have O(n) time complexity since you need to traverse to the middle of the list using either first or second pointer.

*You are using single linked list and you are going to insert at the first position of the list, this time you would have complexity of O(1) since you don't need to traverse any node at all. The same is true for double linked list and insert position at the end of the list.

So you can see in worst cases scenario a Linked list would take O(n) instead of O(1).
Now in case of BST you can come up with O(log n) time if your BST is balanced and not skewed. If your TREE is skewed (where every elements are greater than the prev elements) this time you need to traverse all the nodes to find the insertion position. For example consider your tree is 1->2->4->6 and you are going to insert node 9, so you need to visit all the nodes to find to insertion position.
1
 \
  2
   \
    4
     \
      6 (last position after which new node going to insert)
       \
        9 (new insertion position for the new node)

Therefore you can see you need to visit all the nodes to find the proper place, if you have n-nodes you would have O(n+1) => O(n) running time complexity.
But if your BST is balanced and not skewed the situation changes dramatically, since every move you can eliminate nodes which is not comes under condition.
PS: What I mean by not comes under the condition you can take this as homework!
