Google is afraid of something Facebook is doing

Keeping an eye on Facebook
Chris Jackson/Getty Images
The mobile Internet experience is vastly different from accessing the web on a desktop computer. People use apps instead of a browser, and that means the companies that own the most popular apps are at a significant advantage.
According to Nielsen, Facebook and Google own all eight of the most popular apps in the United States. But Facebook likely dominates total engagement compared to the Alphabet company. Facebook management says its apps account for 20% of time spent on mobile.
Now, Facebook is encroaching on Google's territory, offering improved search functionality in its flagship app, and experimenting with search in Messenger, which has 700 million global users. Google is reportedly responding to Facebook's efforts with a messaging app of its own featuring a chat-powered search engine.
Can Google stop Facebook?
Google's planned mobile messaging app sounds like a direct response to Facebook's M. M is an AI-powered virtual assistant that can do anything from answer simple search queries to book travel accommodations. It's still limited to select users in the Bay area, but it represents yet another example of using Messenger as a platform.
As M rolls out to more users, Google could find itself losing out on search queries. The planned messaging app is aimed to prevent such an occurrence. But Google is missing out on the step that enabled Facebook to threaten Google's cash cow in the first place.
Google needs to build a network. People use a messaging app because all of their friends already use it. The network effect is quite apparent in the regional dominance of chat apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, WeChat, Line, and KakaoTalk.
Building a messaging service around several AI-powered chatbots is unlikely to draw the critical mass necessary to make a messaging app succeed. Google has failed to properly grow social networks in the past (see Google+), and its existing messaging apps, Hangouts and Messenger, have failed to attract a significant audience. Adding chatbots that answer simple searches won't change that.
What Google could do instead
Google is certainly capable of rivaling Facebook when it comes to artificial intelligence. Last year, Google hired Geoffrey Hinton, one of the world's foremost researchers of deep learning neural networks, to help it design new AI algorithms. The move came just after Facebook hired NYU professor Yann LeCun to head up its AI research lab.
But, as mentioned, Google is missing the network. So, why not launch a chatbot on Facebook's platform? Facebook opened Messenger to third-party developers in March, enabling users to insert pictures, videos, and other media from other apps. Google could develop its AI-powered chatbot for Messenger.
Google has had no qualms developing software for platforms owned by competitors. It has dozens of apps for iOS, for example. But developing for Facebook's platform might not be in Google's best interest, as it cedes control and provides data to a company that uses the same monetization model as itself. Thus, Google is left to its own devices to create an app that people will use -- and use to search.
Mobile search growth
Earlier this year, Google announced it receives more searches on smartphones than it does on desktops. To be sure, the number of queries on mobile devices continues to rise, and those queries are largely Google's to lose. Facebook's M and its flagship app's search capabilities represent real threats, but development remains slow and limited. Google has time to figure out how to compete with Facebook to maintain its share of the mobile search market as it continues to grow.

The Life, também conhecido como We Are ODST é uma publicidade de televisão e cinema lançada em 2009 pela Microsoft para promover o jogo de tiro em primeira pessoa Halo 3: ODST nos Estados Unidos. A peça de 150 segundos segue um jovem soldado através do alistamento, treinamento e batalha como um Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST), análogo a um paraquedista que cai do espaço para um campo de batalha. The Life foi criado pela agência de publicidade T.A.G., um desdobramento da McCann Erickson. A produção do comercial em si foi feita pela produtora Morton/Jankel/Zander (MJZ). Foi dirigido por Rupert Sanders e a pós-produção conduzida pela Asylum. Foi filmado na Hungria, nos arredores de Budapeste em uma mina de carvão e fábricas abandonadas para dar à sequência uma estética de "Bloco do Leste". O comercial e sua campanha associada foram extremamente bem-sucedidos; na semana de seu lançamento, Halo 3: ODST se tornou o jogo mais vendido para o Xbox 360 em todo o mundo, e mais de 2,5 milhões de cópias foram vendidas nas primeiras semanas de lançamento. The Life ganhou vários prêmios das indústrias de publicidade e entretenimento, incluindo dois Clio Awards, um London International Advertising Award e várias homenagens do Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, a cerimônia de premiação de maior prestígio na indústria de publicidade.

Sequência
The Life inicia com um funeral militar de um ODST. Fileiras de velas dispostas ao longo do chão queimam enquanto um gaiteiro toca um canto fúnebre. As pessoas de luto reunidas, uma mistura de militares e civis, assistem enquanto a bandeira ODST vermelha do caixão é removida, revelando o nome do falecido. Um jovem observa enquanto o pano é cerimonialmente dobrado e passado a uma mulher entre as pessoas de luto. Uma música em galês começa a tocar enquanto o oficial assistente ordena uma salva de tiros em húngaro. A câmera corta para outra cena; o jovem Tarkov está tendo sua cabeça raspada na primeira de uma montagem de cenas que mostra Tarkov em treinamento de recruta. Novamente, a câmera corta e avança. Tarkov está em um "drop pod" para um homem, conhecido no universo como o Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle (SOEIV), entrando na atmosfera de um planeta alienígena, em um campo de batalha. Ele surge sob fogo ao lado de vários outros soldados, movendo-se sobre os corpos e através de tiros de plasma até que um Brute Covenant o derruba, fazendo seu capacete voar e deixando cicatrizes no rosto de Tarkov. Tarkov desembainha e atira sua arma M6S (M-6 magnum silenciada) no Brute sem sucesso. No entanto, ele é salvo quando um Banshee caindo bate no Brute, matando-o. O filme salta à frente novamente; Tarkov é agora um soldado veterano e supervisiona um serviço memorial para um de seus camaradas caídos em meio a ruínas em chamas com um recruta que se parece com um Tarkov mais jovem. Logo, sons de tiros atraem ele e sua equipe de volta à luta, fechando com as linhas "We are ODST", que muda novamente para "Halo 3: ODST".

Produção

Antecedentes
Em 1999, a Microsoft decidiu consolidar seus esforços de marketing com uma única agência de publicidade, após vários anos de parceria com diferentes agências para cada uma de suas linhas de produtos. Eles aceitaram os argumentos de venda de cada uma das agências de sua lista e, por fim, atribuíram a conta global à McCann Erickson. McCann recebeu a tarefa de promover o que se tornaria o aplicativo matador do Xbox, o jogo eletrônico Halo: Combat Evolved. A campanha de lançamento foi um enorme sucesso, vendendo mais de cinco milhões de cópias do jogo em todo o mundo. O sucesso de Halo: Combat Evolved levou a uma série de sequências e mercadorias associadas, incluindo livros e action figures.

Em 2007, a McCann lançou uma campanha publicitária global multi-plataforma intitulada Believe, que incluiu seis minutos de sequências em live-action chamado Landfall, para promover o mais recente jogo da série Halo, Halo 3. Landfall foi dirigido por Neill Blomkamp, que também concordou em dirigir um longa-metragem de Halo, mas foi cancelado devido a divergências de financiamento. Believe provou ser um sucesso crítico e financeiro. Mais de £84 milhões de vendas foram feitas apenas no primeiro dia de lançamento, a venda de abertura de maior bilheteria de um produto de entretenimento na época. Believe recebeu dezenas de prêmios da comunidade publicitária, incluindo oito Clio Awards, Best in Show no ANDY Awards, e dois Grand Prix (para filmes e campanhas integradas) no Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, a cerimônia de premiação de maior prestígio na indústria da publicidade. De acordo com o Gunn Report, Believe foi a segunda campanha de publicidade integrada mais premiada em 2008, atrás apenas de Hora do Planeta para o World Wide Fund for Nature.

Em 2012, devido ao sucesso de Landfall e The Life, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn foi criado para ampliar o público de Halo 4. Lançado inicialmente como cinco episódios de 15 minutos online, foi mais tarde lançado como uma versão estendida de noventa minutos em DVD e Blu-ray. A Microsoft considera esse o "próximo passo" entre o material publicitário e um longa-metragem, e Frank O'Connor, diretor de desenvolvimento da franquia Halo, disse que o filme será feito "quando chegar a hora certa". Curtas em live-action também foram usados na publicidade de Halo: Reach com foco nos supersoldados Spartans do universo Halo. Dois curtas, The Birth of a Spartan e Deliver Hope foram feitos, novamente para atrair os clientes que não estavam familiarizados com a série.

Filmagem
No início de 2009, a McCann recebeu uma instrução para criar uma nova campanha para o último participante da série Halo, um jogo de tiro em primeira pessoa chamado Halo 3: ODST. Seria o primeiro jogo da franquia a não apresentar o protagonista da série, Master Chief. A McCann voltou com uma proposta para uma campanha na mesma linha de Believe, com o objetivo de humanizar os soldados que aparecem no universo Halo. O projeto recebeu sinal verde e a McCann trouxe de volta vários colaboradores de Believe para lidar com essa nova campanha, agora com o título provisório de The Life.

O diretor Rupert Sanders, conhecido por seu trabalho com a produtora MJZ em campanhas como Lava para o Guinness e Great Return para a Nike, Inc., teve cinco semanas para produzir o comercial, com três dias reservados para a filmagem. Vários locais foram explorados para filmagem, com o objetivo de uma estética do "Bloco do Leste". Isso incluiu várias áreas ao redor de Chernobil, na Ucrânia. No entanto, o cronograma apertado impedia o uso de locais muito distantes um do outro para diferentes cenas e, no final, três locais fora de Budapeste, Hungria foram decididos: a torre de resfriamento de uma usina nuclear ativa foi vestida para servir de pano de fundo para a cena do funeral de abertura; uma mina de carvão a céu aberto serviu de cenário para as cenas de batalha, e uma fábrica de alumínio abandonada foi usada para encenar a cena do funeral de encerramento.

Sanders se inspirou para o estilo de filmagem e a estética do comercial em uma variedade de fontes, incluindo notícias de jornalistas integrados às forças militares no Afeganistão e filmes russos como Stalker e Idi i Smotri. Para manter os detalhes dentro do comercial consistente com o cânon de Halo estabelecido, os criadores da série Halo, Bungie, forneceram a Sanders informações sobre aspectos que vão desde a cor de pelo apropriada e insígnia de classificação para o Brute, até a armadura e armamento dos soldados ODST.

Pós-produção
Com a filmagem concluída, a MJZ contatou a empresa de pós-produção Asylum para começar a trabalhar no componente substancial de efeitos visuais de The Life. A equipe, liderada pelo Supervisor de Efeitos Visuais Robert Moggach, triplicou de tamanho conforme a escala do trabalho necessário se tornou aparente, dado o prazo de três semanas. O trabalho na cena do funeral de abertura foi relativamente fácil, exigindo a criação de apenas elementos menores, como lápides adicionais no primeiro plano e correção de cor nos atores. O mesmo acontecia com a sequência de treinamento, onde apenas o trabalho mínimo de rastreamento e composição de fundos foscos era necessário. A maior parte do trabalho de efeitos visuais foi na sequência da batalha. Isso variou de um trabalho simples, como a remoção de fios à criação de iluminação dinâmica e reflexos de visores e armaduras, para efeitos de partículas para a fumaça e poeira de fundo, fogo de arma de plasma e alterações em algumas das explosões filmadas para dar-lhes a aparência dada a explosões de plasma dentro dos jogos Halo. Todo o fundo era uma projeção 3D de pinturas opacas e céus dramáticos. Enquanto o Brute era parcialmente animatrônico, ajustes substanciais, como escalar para quase o dobro do tamanho e o aprimoramento dos movimentos musculares finos da criatura foram feitos. Outros elementos, como a aeronave Banshee e os drop-pods, foram criados inteiramente com o uso de CGI. O software usado pela Asylum FX incluiu Flame e Nuke para composição, Maya para animação, RenderMan e Mantra para renderização, SynthEyes para rastreamento, Silhouette Pro para trabalho de rotoscopia.

Música
The Life foi composta por Gareth Williams, um compositor da Human Worldwide. A música, um arranjo de "Lament" de Light of Aidan, foi criada especificamente para o anúncio e apresentava uma grande variedade de instrumentos. Os elementos percussivos incluíam tambores de caixa militar, um tambor de mão, tambores de troncos de Samoa e pedras batidas umas nas outras. Eles foram acompanhados por uma grande gaita de foles das highlands e orquestração de cordas tradicional, como um contrabaixo e violoncelo. Os vocais foram fornecidos por Kathy Fisher que, apesar de não ser falante nativa do idioma, cantou as letras em galês fornecidas por Williams.

Lançamento e recepção
The Life estreou online como um curta de 90 segundos em 4 de setembro de 2009, no site de rede social MySpace e no site de notícias e análises IGN. Isso foi seguido por sua primeira aparição na televisão nacional dos Estados Unidos como um comercial de 150 segundos três dias depois, durante um intervalo comercial na exibição da minissérie da Spike, Band of Brothers da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Espaços adicionais de 90 segundos foram adquiridos em uma variedade de redes de televisão, incluindo Adult Swim, Comedy Central, ESPN, FX, G4, History e Spike. The Life foi disponibilizado para download no Xbox Live em 8 de setembro e continuou a ser transmitido na televisão com o lançamento de Halo 3: ODST em 22 de setembro de 2009 e no período de Natal. O lançamento foi acompanhado por anúncios impressos e um novo site interativo apresentando um documentário de making-of de The Life, entrevistas com o diretor e outros membros da equipe e uma cena não exibida cortada do final do comercial, bem como elementos interativos explorando recursos do próprio jogo, como um aplicativo de "avaliação" que oferece perfis de vários personagens do jogo.

Após seu lançamento em 22 de setembro, Halo 3: ODST imediatamente se tornou o título mais vendido para o Xbox 360 em todo o mundo. Em duas semanas, mais de 2,5 milhões de cópias foram vendidas. The Life ganhou vários prêmios das indústrias de publicidade e televisão, incluindo homenagens do Visual Effects Society Awards, o ANDY Awards, o London International Advertising Awards, e o Clio Awards. The Life recebeu várias indicações no 57º Festival Internacional de Publicidade de Cannes Lions, a cerimônia de premiação de maior prestígio na comunidade publicitária, ganhando Ouro em Cinematografia, Prata em Direção e Bronze na categoria Cinema.

Nicki Minaj may be killing Hollywood but she still wants her respect as an MC. The Queens in her just won't let the Barbz put away her rapper pride and she wants everyone to know it.
During an interview with MTV to promote her new film, The Other Woman, Nicki said that she wants to be in the same category as all the greats. Any "female rapper" labels can be tucked in forever.
"I do not see myself as a female rapper anymore, I'm sorry," she told MTV News on Monday. "I see myself as a rapper."I've worked with the greats and I've held my own with the greats and they respect me," she told MTV. "So I should respect myself enough to see myself the same way they see themselves."


You'll need two knives: a mat cutter, which is a specialty tool that cuts those beautiful 45 degree angles for you, and a straight knife for cutting the outside edges. There are a lot of different styles of knives (I use a simple freehand cutter and a set of Exactos) but the single most important factor, the one thing that will make the difference between sweet success and miserable failure, will be their sharpness. I'm talking crazy, dangerously sharp here. You want knives so sharp that you're actually afraid of handling them. "On the edge of death" sharp.
The knives should sail through the mat board. If you find that cutting is difficult or you aren't getting smooth edges or you're just generally having a hard time, I'd bet good money that the cause of your problem is a dull knife.
I use a two-foot aluminum square for my straight edge. You really want something large and strong because you'll be working with large pieces of mat board and very sharp knives. It's also a lot easier to hold in place and safer if you can use your entire hand, so the wider the better. Mine is marked in 16ths but you won't need that level of precision. 1/8″ markings are fine. Using a square makes it easier to draw lines that are perpendicular to the edges of the mat without a lot of fussing around.
Your mat should be the same size as the frame backing. Pop that out of the frame, line it up in a corner of your mat board and trace around the sides. Cut that out and you've got your work piece and you haven't even measured anything yet. There are a couple of approaches you can take for measuring the window but the simplest is to just put your photo onto it, measure the distance to each edge so you're sure you're centered, then trace around it. I like about a 2″ border all the way around, sometimes slightly larger on the bottom edge. Your window needs to be about 1/4″ smaller than the photo all the way around so now you just have to measure 1/4″ marks around the inside of that first rectangle and draw the new, slightly smaller rectangle. Remember, you're making all of your marks on the back of the mat.
Once you've finished your first mat, you can now use that as a template for creating more. Put it in a corner of your mat board and trace the outside edge and the window. Then cut. Simple. If you're cutting a lot of mats this way, make sure you always use the same template for each one. If you keep using each newly cut mat as a template for the next one you may find that your mats are getting slightly larger with each generation.
If it's your first time, you're going to screw up. That's okay. Practice with the mat cutter on some scrap board until you can make clean straight cuts in a single pass. Once you're starting to feel like a samurai, move on to the real thing.
Have I mentioned that one already? Seriously, this is more important than anything else. If you don't have a sharp knife, don't bother. Even if you don't get so frustrated you want to take your own life, you'll never get decent results with a dull knife.

Дми́трий Емелья́нович Смышля́ев (1790 год, Соликамск — , Пермь) — пермский купец 1-й гильдии, меценат и общественный деятель, пермский городской голова в 1823—1826 годах.

Биография
Родился в 1790 году в Соликамске, в семье Емельяна Меркурьевича Смышляева, купца 3-й гильдии, владельца кожевенного и мыловаренного заводов. Когда ему было 9 лет, отец разорился и умер. Оставив школу, он поступил на работу к купцу Ивану Братчикову, затем — писцом в Соликамский уездный суд, затем в Верхнемуллинское правление имений княгини Шаховской. В 12 лет, отправившись вместе со своим родственником Я. П. Любимовым на Макарьевскую ярмарку, поступил на работу к купцу Шарапову. Через несколько лет вернулся на родину и открыл своё дело. Затем переехал в Пермь, поселившись в доме сестры, А. Е. Любимовой, и занялся торговлей галантерейными товарами, потом открыл завод церковных свеч и канатную фабрику. В 1811 году переехал в собственный деревянный дом, а в 1815 году купил каменный дом на Торговой улице. В 1814 году женился на Д. А. Лазаревой, в 1823 году овдовел, а в 1824 году женился на А. И. Кузнецовой. Его сын, Дмитрий Дмитриевич Смышляев, родившийся в 1828 году, стал известен как общественный деятель и историк-краевед.

В 1812—1814 годах известный государственный деятель М. М. Сперанский находился в ссылке в Перми. Он нуждался в деньгах, и Смышляев дал ему в долг 5 000 рублей. Между ними установились дружеские отношения.

В 1817—1820 годах служил вторым бургомистром, а в 1823—1826 годах занимал пост городского головы.

В 1820-е годы начал поставлять в Таганрог железо с Суксунских заводов Демидовых. В 1828 году записался в 1-ю гильдию.

Смышляев построил за свой счёт Всесвятскую церковь, а также корпус батальонных казарм, чтобы облегчить «постойную повинность», которую несли домовладельцы Перми. Внёс значительный вклад в восстановление Перми после пожара 1842 года: по его инициативе были построены кирпичные заводы, обеспечившие жителей города дешёвым кирпичом.

Умер а. За заслуги в постройке Новокладбищенской Всесвятской церкви похоронен в склепе под алтарём храма.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 opinion, upheld the District Court ruling that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. However, the Fifth Circuit remanded the case back to the District Court for a more careful consideration of the issue of severability.

The biggest health care bill of this session made it out of the House and is headed to the Senate, after a party-line vote late Thursday. The bill contains proposals to lower prescription drug prices and to help shore up the Affordable Care Act (ACA), making it politically tricky. It is unlikely that the bill will pass a Republican-controlled Senate. As Politico reports, "The move is likely to force most Republicans to sink the package and go on record […]

The End of Idealism? The Swedish adaptation of the immigration policy
By Niklas Ylander
In the beginning of the 2000's, a nowadays forgotten political battle came to life. For more than a decade Denmark was criticized in Swedish political life due to its restrictive immigration policy. Suddenly, during the refugee crisis in 2015, Sweden changed its generous immigration policy overnight. Was this adaptation to the Danish policy the end of Swedish idealism?
The clash of political ideals
In Denmark immigration became a hot issue in the end of the 1990's due to the growth of the far-right Danish People's Party. In 2001 the new centre-right government, with support of Danish People's Party, introduced a much stricter immigration policy. It was a core element of the rebellion against the left wing-liberal establishment. According to the new government, Danish values and Danishness were threatened due to immigration and the 'politically correct' world view of the establishment.
While this political tone on immigration became harsher in Denmark, politicians, cultural profiles, scholars and journalists in Sweden strongly condemned the Danish tone. Denmark became the opposite to the self image of Sweden that influential opinion and decision makers wanted to maintain. This self image of Sweden was based on political ideals such as a generous immigration policy, multiculturalism and tolerance, which I here phrase as the Swedish idealism.
A significant debate developed in 2009 with the publication of the book Världens lyckligaste folk. It argued that Danish politics and especially the Danish People's Party was dominated by nationalism and xenophobia. This message was widely spread in Swedish media. Any critique of the Swedish immigration policy was linked to the harsh situation in Denmark, while at the same time, critique of the strict Danish immigration policy in Denmark was linked to the "naive" idealistic view among the Swedish elite. The Swedish publication was then followed by a Danish reply in Absolut Sverige in 2011 which stated that conformism dominates the Swedish public debate. In the Danish political circles it became a routine to portray Sweden as the pure symbol of a failed idealism that would result in ethnic segregation, gang violence and an undermined state authority.
The rise of populism
In the 2010 parliamentary election the far right party the Sweden Democrats entered the parliament. It became more difficult to criticize the Danes since the Swedes now had a party critical to immigration in their own backyard. Together with the greens the center-right government liberalised the policy regarding work permits in 2011, and clearly stated that this was made to show that the Sweden Democrats was without influence. In the 2014 parliamentary election campaign Prime Minister Reinfeldt even urged the Swedish people to "open your hearts" to the increasing number of asylum seekers. In Denmark, many reacted with the the 'traditional' confusion to how the naive Swedes could have such a "irresponsible immigration policy" and also isolate the Sweden Democrats in parliament. When the Sweden Democrats gained 13 percent in the election, many in the Swedish political establishment were in shock. Few believed that populism would gain this vast support in Sweden, a country which many thought was entirely dominated by idealistic values.
In September 2015, in the middle of the refugee crisis, the Social Democrat and Prime Minister Löfven declared "In my Europe you don't build walls". Civil society groups were on the streets and train stations to help organise the massive inflow of asylum seekers. More than 160 000 asylum seekers arrived in 2015 and there was an intense search for housing facilities in the whole country.
Suddenly in October the rhetorics of 'refugees welcome' was replaced by 'the fewer – the better'. Agencies and municipalities warned that the system would collapse. A strict asylum law and border control were introduced. The government started to emphasize issues such as combating terrorism, deportations, and law and order. According to a survey in Spring 2018 the sceptics of immigration were counted to 60 percent and those in favour of immigration as low as 12 percent.
The End of Swedish Idealism?
Many Danish political commentators believe that the naive Swedes finally have realized the problems of immigration. This was evident after the recent 2018 parliamentary election when the Sweden Democrats received almost 18 percent. However they question why the Swedish center-right parties still refuse to form a government with support of the Sweden Democrats.
Swedish politics has changed significantly since the refugee crisis and a more restrictive immigration policy has been applied. The idea that Denmark's restrictive policies are xenophobic is no longer of use anymore in media. When Denmark banned the wearing of head veils, explicitly the niqab and the burqa the reactions in Swedish media were limited. The world politics has changed with Trump elected, Brexit and the rise of populism. However, the understanding of for example immigration has not changed if you read Swedish media. The Swedish idealism is still alive but no significant political leader advocates for it anymore. The defence of Swedish idealism is overtaken by less influential actors, for example the Center Party, whose a key player in the forming of government after the parliamentary election this September.
What will the policy change mean for the image of Sweden, the defender of liberal idealism? Is it possible in the future to once again praise for openness, tolerance and solidarity and expect that others will believe in you? Are we in the future going to perceive the praise for openness simply as out of touch with reality? One thing is certain, the momentum is no longer in the hands of the idealists.
Niklas Ylander has a master's degree in political science with a special interest in Scandinavian politics. After his studies in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, he is constantly wondering about the differences and similarities between the countries.

The design of a novel reconfigurable antenna for MIMO systems is presented. Simulation and experimental results shows its capabilities in a multibeam reconfiguration in a 4p steradians environment. It can allow an enhancement in wireless communication employing multipath channel combining with a radiation pattern diversity. The antenna structure consists of a cubic cavity with slots on each faces fed by a monopole. Short-cutting the slots, a beam steering can be achieved. Simulations show the radiation pattern with a 5dBi gain. Results of a prototype working at 5,25GHz are also presented. Moreover, polarization diversity will be introduced with simulations of a modified antenna.


I use 1password every day with great pleasure on Windows, Mac and Ios, and noticed a bug when unlocking the chrome extension.
I am using the latest version of 1password (1.0.9.272) and chrome extension (3.8.9.38999).
I then need to click again on the 1password icon in order to display correctly the 1password toolbar.
This behaviour is the same with Chrome 15,16 and 17 (probably before too, but I don't remember).
Do you already have this problem? Is there a way to solve it or do we need to wait for a new fix?
Welcome to the forums, neoraptor. I'm sorry that you are having this problem.
The extension is only designed to work in the current stable version of Chrome (17 at this time), so let's focus on that.
Could you try removing the extension and then installing the beta version?
1. Open 1Password's preferences to the Browsers tab.
2. Click the "Install Chrome Extension" button.
3. Check the box to "Allow beta extensions."
4. Click the "Download" button for the beta version of the Chrome extension.

Rarely seen paintings by members of the Santa Fe art colony come back to where they were created.
Updated Nov. 23, 2021
By Stacia Lewandowski
The Museum Association of Taos is making it easier than ever to get the most out of its participating institutions—the E.L. Blumenschein Home, La Hacienda de los Martinez, Taos Art Museum at Fechin House, the Harwood Museum of Art, and the Millicent Rogers Museum—with its Museum Association of Taos Super Ticket. For just $25, museumgoers can visit each of the five Taos museums one time, and the ticket will be honored for an entire year. If you run out of hours to visit all the museums, the ticket is also transferrable to another art-loving friend or family member. It's a great, low-cost way to soak in the vast art history and culture of Taos and northern New Mexico. New in April to the Fechin House is Intimate and International: The Art of Nicolai Fechin Shown at His House and Studio (April 11–September 21), which gives visitors the opportunity to witness all of Nicolai Ivanovich Fechin's (1881–1955) creative endeavors, including paintings, drawings, and sculpture, in the home he built for his family in Taos in the late 1920s and early 1930s. To sweeten the pot for locals, all the museums are free for Taos County residents on Sundays, and the Millicent Rogers Museum is free to Taoseños every day of operation. To learn more about the museums and the Super Ticket, visit the association's website (taosmuseums.org).
In Santa Fe, the New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors opens Poetics of Light (April 26, 2014–March 2015), an exhibition of images from the museum's collection—the world's largest— of pinhole photographs. The show, which coincides with Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day (April 27), presents more than 200 photographs and 40 cameras in the museum's Herzstein Gallery. The Museum of New Mexico Press has also published a companion book for the exhibition. Turquoise, Water, Sky: The Stone and Its Meaning opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (April 13, 2014–March 2016), examining the geology, mining, and history of the gemstone. The exhibition also explores themes of authenticity and value, while noting major Native American, Spanish, and Moorish influences on turquoise jewelry design. McLarry Fine Art, in Santa Fe, hosts Treasures from the Artist's Vault, a retrospective of watercolors and other work by late Nambé artist Richard C. Sandoval— a former art director and editor for New Mexico Magazine.
En la Cocina with San Pascual (through June), at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, in Albuquerque, honors the patron saint of cooks and kitchens with more than 75 works by New Mexico artists. At Albuquerque's Richard Levy Gallery, photographer Manjari Sharma's elaborate and colorful representations of Hindu deities are on display (through April 11) in an exhibit titled Darshan. Sharma and a team of 35 craftspeople created props, sets, prosthetics, makeup, and costumes to develop highly stylized C-print images of Ganesh, Lord Shiva, and others. The Expo New Mexico Fine Arts Building hosts the InSight Women's Photography Exhibit and Sale (April 5–27), featuring more than 100 jury-selected images by New Mexico women photographers.
In Truth or Consequences, the Second Saturday Art Hop (April 12, 6–9 p.m.) is a great way to experience the galleries and other businesses in this quirky, enchanting town. Walk-weary visitors can always hire a horse-drawn buggy for a dollar. In Las Cruces, the Las Cruces Museum of Art celebrates the city's talented young student artists with its All-City High School Senior Art Exhibition (April 11–19). Also in Las Cruces, the Branigan Cultural Center presents an exhibition of rodeo photographs by Mel Stone (April 4–26), in conjunction with the Las Cruces Country Music Festival (see p. 14). In Deming, the Deming Arts Center presents a two-woman show featuring work by glass sculptor Patricia Schneider and portraitist Cynthia Gutierrez.

"I advise you to enjoy every minute you have left of beautiful Santa Fe and make up your mind that while you will come bodily to New York you will remain in the spiritual remoteness and aloofness which may be possible in Santa Fe."
In a letter from one artist to another, Robert Henri expressed this powerful sentiment to John Sloan, describing the kind of impact Santa Fe can have on people. Written in 1920, it could just as easily have been written yesterday. This phenomenon may help explain how Santa Fe's appeal has come to extend far beyond the state line, and why references to it appear in all variety of unexpected locations.
When the New Mexico Museum of Art unveils its new exhibition, Southwestern Allure: The Art of the Santa Fe Art Colony, on April 25, New Mexicans will have the chance to witness a singular example of Santa Fe's long reach. In a surprising twist, the show is part of a traveling exhibit that premiered at a Florida museum.
The term "Santa Fe art colony" was coined by journalists in the early twentieth century to describe the influx of Anglo artists to the capital city. In reality, the artists who worked in Santa Fe constituted a diverse group with different backgrounds and styles. They did not come to join a colony, but rather were united by the desire to work in a locale that offered something different. Santa Fe's unique blend of cultures, architecture, and landscape and the Museum of New Mexico all played a role. Some artists, such as Gustave Baumann and Fremont Ellis, settled for their entire lives, while others, like B.J.O. Nordfeldt, moved on. Interestingly, even part-timers and visitors are included in the exhibit because of their stature in the wider art world and because of the work they produced during their visits. These include John Sloan, Marsden Hartley, and Edward Hopper.
Southwestern Allure was developed for the Boca Museum of Art, in Boca Raton. Curator Valerie Ann Leeds suggested it to the museum's former director, George Bolge, after he told her of his interest in presenting an exhibit of Southwestern art. He assured her there was strong interest in the subject among the museum's patrons. While there are many artists who could be included in such an exhibit, Leeds wanted to create a show that focused exclusively on the formative period of Santa Fe's art community.
"My intent," she says, "was to open and expand the audience and dialogue for Santa Fe artists. I love Santa Fe and I think, from the Eastern perspective, Santa Fe artists have been lost in the shuffle, especially regarding the larger category of Southwestern art. We generally only hear about the Taos artists, and even barely that in the East!"
Leeds searched for works from a variety of sources. The result is a stunning group of paintings from 35 artists, compiled from private collections, galleries, and museums around the country. Word quickly spread in the museum world about the show before it even opened, and Leeds began to receive inquiries from other museums. Because of this, what began as an isolated show in Boca Raton last fall soon expanded into an exhibit that would travel over the course of 10 months. The exhibit now comes home, in a way, to Santa Fe, where the paintings will be on display at the New Mexico Museum of Art from the end of this month until late July. "We are delighted to have them visit with us for a while," said museum director Mary Kershaw, "and to exhibit them in the building which supported so many of their makers."
Southwestern Allure presents a full spectrum of art from the most notable of Santa Fe's Anglo artists, who worked in the region from 1904 through 1938. Since the artists range from American art stars to lesserknown but beloved regional artists, this is a rare opportunity to see this combination of work together in one exhibit.
One of the biggest names in the show is Edward Hopper, known for his iconic urban scenes. On a single visit to Santa Fe in 1925, Hopper worked only in watercolor and produced 13 paintings. If we think of his famous images in which architectural geometry is set off by stark lighting and shadows, we will immediately sense the same artist at work in Ranch House, Santa Fe. In his depiction of a whitewashed adobe ranch house, there is again the sense of quiet isolation— not a person in sight—and the lines formed by the building's corners and front colonnade receding into the distance create an angular perspective and interest similar to that aroused by his urban scenes.
Ranch House, Santa Fe, by Edward Hopper, 1925. Watercolor over pencil on paper, Williams College Museum of Art. Bequest of Lawrence H. Bloedel, Class of 1923.
Hopper was a former student of Robert Henri, who looms large in the development of the Santa Fe art colony, due to his friendship with Edgar Lee Hewett, first director of the Museum of New Mexico. Henri worked in Santa Fe during three visits between 1916 and 1922, creating a large number of portraits and additional scenes. Henri exhibited in the art museum's inaugural exhibition in 1917 and encouraged his friends to join him and show the results of their work in that exhibit. Both George Bellows and Leon Kroll made the trip in 1917 and displayed their work in Santa Fe's museum. Works included Bellows' Santuario de Chimayó, which is featured in Southwestern Allure. Bellows, who became known as one of the Ashcan School realists, shows Chimayó's revered Santuario as the backdrop for wagons and grazing horses.
No exhibit of the Santa Fe art colony would be complete without including Los Cinco Pintores, the group of five young artists—Will Shuster, Willard Nash, Fremont Ellis, Jozef Bakos, and Walter Mruk—who came together in Santa Fe from 1921 to 1926. For Southwestern Allure, Leeds has selected an interesting compilation of their work, with examples showing what some of the members were doing just prior to the group's formation. For example, Jozef Bakos's strong 1920 painting Rancho de Vallecitos shows the artist working in a Modernist mode, with bold colors applied to rustic buildings and fences with jaunty, off-kilter lines set between the smooth forms of a white horse and a dark burro in the foreground and mountains rising behind.
The exhibit also brings back a significant work by Will Shuster, well known to Santa Feans as the creator of Zozobra. His painting The Rain Prayer was purchased by the Newark Museum in 1925 for its core collection. It's a stunning ceremonial dance scene in the midst of falling rain, and almost 90 years have passed since Shuster sent the painting east. Now that's a sure sign of Santa Fe's far reach, and a most welcome homecoming. ✜
