Sydney Opera House 'No War' activists face court for paint cans
January 9, 2023UncategorizedComments: 0
Two activists convicted for painting the words "NO WAR" in five-metre-high red letters on the highest sail of Sydney Opera House in March 2003, are facing court action again to prevent them from auctioning the equipment used to paint the controversial sign.
Dr Will Saunders and David Burgess were sentenced to nine months periodic detention and ordered to pay the Opera House Trust $151,000 for malicious damage to the building on March 18, 2003.
The pair spent six months in jail for painting the slogan on one of the sails of the Opera House on the eve of the invasion of Iraq. The protesters say they wish to auction the equipment for humanitarian causes in Iraq.
Police confiscated the paint can and two brushes used in the incident and have now applied for a court order to have the can and brushes destroyed. They are saying such an auction would contravene proceeds of crime laws.
Saunders said they wanted to auction the can and send the proceeds to humanitarian causes in Iraq. According to The Australian newspaper, Mr Saunders said the auction could be conducted by a registered charity to raise money for the Mother and Child Hospital in Basra.
He said the can should also be preserved as an important piece of Sydney history.
"We want to give the surplus money that we've raised, and anything extra we can make from an auction – not only the paint pot … I think we can raise many many thousands of dollars," he said. "We'd be happy to come to any reasonable arrangement with the police about how this auction takes place … it's just mean beyond belief, petty-minded just to destroy it."
The matter will go before a Sydney court on January 16.
Meanwhile, the world-famous Sydney Opera House is one of 21 international landmarks short-listed to become the new Seven Wonders of the World. The list includes modern landmarks such as Paris' Eiffel Tower and older candidates like the Colosseum in Rome and China's Great Wall.

Q: Expected Elevator Stops with n+1 floors and k passengers
There's an elevator that accesses n+1 floors, with k people in it. It starts on the first floor. Every person independently wants to go to some specific randomly chosen floor (not the current one), and presses the corresponding button. How many stops do we expect the elevator to make?

I approached this problem by first looking at the base cases. When n = 1, we will expect only 1 stop regardless of k's value. When n = 2 and k = 1, we will only expect 1 stop again. When n = 2 and k = 2, there is a ½ probability that both passengers choose the same floor and a ½ probability the choose different floors. This means that the expected number of stops will then be 1.5 (0.5*2 + 0.5*1). When n = 2 and k = 3, there is a ¼ probability that all three choose the same floor and a ¾ that both floors are selected in some manner. This means there will be 1.75 expected stops.
I, however, am unsure how to extrapolate this idea to a general formula for any n and any k value.

A: The probability that one person is not getting off on floor number p is $(1-\frac1n)$
All $k $ people not getting off on the pth floor has probability $(1-\frac1n )^k $
$$ E[X_p] = 1-P(\text{ no one stops on the pth floor)} \\
=1-(1-\frac1n )^k $$
Which is independent of $p$ so the expected number of stops is given by
$$ E\left [\sum_{p=2}^{n+1} X_p\right ]=n\left( 1-(1-\frac1n )^k\right)  $$

A: Consider that the elevator reads the signal from each person and makes a new stop when the floor is different from the previous ones.
The probability that the $i$th person presses a different floor from the previous ($i-1$) floors is $(1-\frac{1}{n})^{i-1}$
$E[N] = \sum_{i=1}^k (1-\frac{1}{n})^{i-1} = n \left(1 - (1-\frac{1}{n})^k\right)$

André Gagné
André Gagné is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Arts (Department of Theological Studies) at Concordia University. He specializes in questions related to religious violence, radicalization, and the use of sacred texts and traditions by extremist groups and individuals to justify acts of violence. According to Dr. Gagné, young people need to be religiously literate — not through faith-based literacy, but by acquiring a better understanding of religious beliefs and practices from a historical and comparative perspective. This can mainly be achieved through education and the development of critical thinking skills in relation to all religious traditions in high schools, colleges and universities.
Dr. Gagné recently co-published The Global Impact of Religious Violence (Wipf and Stock, 2016) which examines why individuals and groups sometimes commit irremediable atrocities in the name of their faith, and offers some solutions on how to counter religiously inspired violence.
Professor Gagné is also regularly consulted by the media and invited to lecture on global terrorism, countering violent extremism (religious and political), and the prevention of radicalization through education.

Iowa State jumps into the top 10 after a wild opening weekend of college wrestling
The most exciting college wrestlers to watch this season
The college wrestling season opened with fireworks last weekend as nine of the top 25 teams took the mat in duals, leading to unexpected upsets and rankings shifts. The biggest news from the weekend was Iowa State's dominant performance against then-No. 12 Wisconsin, but the Cyclones were just one of several teams to climb in the national rankings. Here are three key takeaways from the latest top 25 as these programs prep for another weekend of high-level competition.
First, the new NWCA rankings:
RANK TEAM (No. 1 votes) RECORD POINTS CONFERENCE PREVIOUS RANK
1 Penn State (12) (0-0) 348 Big Ten 1
2 Iowa (2) (0-0) 337 Big Ten 2
3 Missouri (1-0) 310 Big 12 4
4 Ohio State (0-0) 290 Big Ten 6
5 Michigan (0-0) 289 Big Ten 5
6 Arizona State (0-0) 285 Pac-12 3
7 Cornell (0-0) 266 EIWA 7
8 NC State (1-0) 247 ACC 9
9 Iowa State (3-0) 236 Big 12 14
10 Virginia Tech (0-0) 222 ACC 11
11 Oklahoma State (0-0) 221 Big 12 10
12 Minnesota (0-0) 186 Big Ten 13
13 Wisconsin (2-1) 171 Big Ten 12
14 Lehigh (2-0) 151 EIWA 17
15 Northwestern (0-0) 149 Big Ten 15
16 North Carolina (0-0) 118 ACC 16
17 Nebraska (0-1) 117 Big Ten 8
18 Pitt (0-0) 98 ACC 18
19 North Dakota State (1-0) 96 Big 12 NR
20 Penn (0-0) 78 EIWA 21
21 Rutgers (0-0) 77 Big Ten 22
22 Northern Iowa (0-0) 63 Big 12 20
23 Princeton (0-0) 49 EIWA 23
24 Oregon State (0-1) 44 Pac-12 19
25 Cal Poly (1-0) 23 Pac-12 24
Cyclones build momentum behind top-10 win, intensifying anticipation for December dual with Iowa
Iowa State made one of the most significant jumps in the rankings this week, moving from No. 14 to No. 9 following wins over Wisconsin, Campbell and Little Rock where the Cyclones outscored their opponents 93-16. This team will be expected to be similarly dominant in its duals this coming week against California Baptist and Grand View, but Iowa State supporters are already looking ahead to one date on the calendar in particular: December 4.
In just three weeks, the Cyclones will travel down the road to Iowa City to meet the No. 2 Hawkeyes in Carver-Hawkeye Arena for a sold-out rivalry dual that will put the Iowa State lineup to the test. Iowa State has not beaten its in-state foe in 17 years, and the Cyclones have not won a dual since Tom Brands took over the Hawkeye program. The one-sided nature rivalry has not lessened the intensity of these battles in any way though, and last year's bout ended with a little chippiness, as wrestlers from both teams left their respective team benches to exchange words.
A post shared by Michael Kemerer (@kem_daughg65)
This year's Iowa State team boasts veteran consistency from David Carr, Marcus Coleman and Yonger Bastida as well as early signs of greatness from freshmen Casey Swiderski and Paniro Johnson, making for a dangerous lineup. Iowa's full-strength team, however, is similarly powerful. The No. 2 Hawkeyes return four All-Americans and three additional NCAA qualifiers, though Des Moines Register journalist Cody Goodwin reports that the Hawks may not field all of these wrestlers until later in the year. Spencer Lee, Iowa's three-time NCAA champion, comes into the season after two ACL surgeries last winter, and Goodwin notes that while Lee is anxious to return, he'll likely wrestle a more abbreviated schedule this year. All-American Real Woods and NCAA qualifier Nelson Brands are also missing from Iowa's expected starter list. Iowa will likely need Lee, and potentially Woods as well, if they want to hold off the Cyclones again, but regardless of the lineups that take the mat, this match will bring the heat.
Wisconsin, Nebraska fall after losses to Big 12 opponents
Iowa State's wins over the weekend not only elevated the Cyclones, but they also sent Wisconsin, previously ranked No. 12, down to No. 13, a small drop for a team with five All-Americans in its lineup. The Badgers do not have a dual this coming week but will have a chance to rebound against No. 7 Cornell on Nov. 19 in a dual that will be headlined by a potential matchup between No. 4 Austin Gomez of Wisconsin and No. 1 Yianni Diakomihalis of Cornell at 149 pounds. Wisconsin will be looking for a win, but Cornell is a tough team to face in that situation.
WEEKEND TAKEAWAYS: Biggest storylines from Week 1 of the college wrestling season
The Big Ten also saw another team fall slightly in the rankings following a weekend of non-conference action last weekend as Nebraska slipped from No. 8 to No. 17 following a 20-16 loss to then-unranked North Dakota State. The Bison cracked the top 25 following the win, moving all the way up to a well-deserved No. 19 ranking, and they'll have the Bison Open this weekend where they'll look to continue this momentum. Nebraska, on the other hand, will try to get back on track against Army next Saturday at noon. The Huskers will also have an even bigger opportunity later that afternoon too when they face No. 8 NC State, a team that jumped one spot in the poll following a win over in-state foe Appalachian State. These early cross-conference bouts create so much energy in the wrestling community and offer fun storylines for fans. With NC State looking strong against the Mountaineers, and the Huskers craving a win after a rocky start, this is a dual you won't want to miss.
Another Big Ten team, Ohio State, will also have a major dual this weekend as they take on No. 10 Virginia Tech, two teams that each bumped up one spot on the latest poll following strong performances at the Michigan State Open and Southeast Open, respectively. With the Buckeyes now in the No. 4 spot, the Big Ten officially has three of the top four teams in the rankings including No. 1 Penn State and No. 2 Iowa. The Missouri breaks up the Big Ten sweep, holding down the No. 3 spot after a dominant 55-0 performance against Lindenwod over the weekend.
Arizona State, a trophy-contending team, dropped out of the top 5 and down to No. 6 after the announcement of Jacori Teemer's injury, a devastating lineup blow to a stacked, deep program. The Sun Devils will have a fun bout against No. 21 Rutgers, a team that jumped one spot in the rankings, on Saturday, and they can certainly still be a top-10 team without their All-American middleweight, but his absence will be felt.
Lehigh, Oregon State see shift in rankings following exciting dual
Though many of the nation's top teams have yet to compete in dual action, two ranked programs, Lehigh and Oregon State, battled last weekend in a contest that resulted in a tight Mountain Hawks victory, and the matchup offered some early looks at All-American caliber wrestlers within both programs. The Lehigh 20-13 win ultimately helped the Mountain Hawks make a jump from No. 17 to No. 14, while Oregon State dropped from No. 19 to No. 24. The Beavers now sit just above Cal Poly, a team that held down its No. 25 spot in the rankings, while Stanford slipped out of the poll. Don't count out Oregon State, though. Lehigh's a tough program with ranked wrestlers at all 10 weights, and that depth creates challenges for opponents. The Beavers will have two duals against non-DI opponents before heading into the Roadrunner Open and then the Cliff Keen Invite, so look for this team to continue finding its footing and make some noise in December.
The Mountain Hawks, who have certainly impressed early, will have another challenge next in No. 11 Oklahoma State, so get excited for more Lehigh action. If the first week of college wrestling has revealed anything, it's that these rankings are always subject to change following standout performances, and more notable matches are up ahead this weekend.

Missouri at a glance:
The state of Missouri offers in-state and out of state hunters alike great opportunities to pursue whitetail deer. Missouri's deer herd is in great shape and continues to improve with the doe harvest management and the antler point restrictions put in place by the states conservation department. Out of state tags (both archery and firearm) can be purchased at a reasonable price over the counter. No lotteries! Missouri has a great mix of open prairie, crop ground, timber and river bottom land that provide the ideal habitat to grow and hold whitetails. DTHL targets the northern part of the state, however feels that there are some hidden hot spots that provide some nice whitetail hunting as well. Central and West Central Missouri being two of those areas, provides the habitat and agriculture needed to sustain good deer numbers and provide trophy whitetail hunting opportunities as well. Most all counties that DTHL targets, fall within the 4 point antler restriction. In order for a buck to be legal to harvest, it must sport at least 4 points on one side. The counties that have been involved in this program are now starting to see the benefits as more upper age class bucks are being seen and harvested. Missouri's archery season opens on September 15th and runs through mid January. The firearms season opens on a Saturday in mid November and runs for 10 days. They also have a muzzleloader season which opens typically the day following Thanksgiving. If you are an out of state hunter looking to hunt big whitetails and not have to worry about a lottery, Missouri may be the destination for you. DTHL encourages you to view the Department of Conservations website at http://mdc.mo.gov for all hunting related information such as season dates and permit information. The link to this website is also provided on the "Links" page.
Illinois at a glance:
The state of Illinois offers some of the best trophy hunting in the country and it is no secret. West Central Illinois is the area that DTHL puts its focus on. This area has everything that whitetails need to grow old. This part of the state is made up of gently rolling crop ground with rugged hardwood timbered draws and ridges. Out of state hunters will need to apply for both archery and firearm tags with applications becoming available during the early summer months. The archery season opens October 1st and runs through mid January. Illinois has three separate firearms seasons to choose from. The 1st season typically opens the Friday prior to Thanksgiving and is a 3 day shotgun season. The second season historically begins the Thursday following Thanksgiving and is a four day shotgun/muzzleloader season. The third option is a four day muzzleloader only season that opens the Thursday following the second season. Illinois does not allow the use of center fire rifles, their firearms seasons are short and for the most part out of the rut. This along with the great habitat allows a good number of bucks to reach a mature age and produce those trophy racks. DTHL encourages you to view the DNR's website at http://dnr.state.il.us/ for all hunting related information such as season dates and permit information. The link to this website is also provided on the "Links" page.
Iowa at a glance:
Iowa is definitely a bow hunter's paradise! With only one early season shot gun season in mid October, no gun hunting is allowed until December after the rut has passed. This allows the bow hunter to hunt the entire rut without interruption of a firearms season. Iowa consists of good hardwoods, CRP ground, river bottom ground and plenty of agriculture. Due to the States management practices in place, Iowa bucks can live to an old age and produce very impressive racks. DTHL targets the southern and eastern halves of Iowa but feels that a trophy can be harvested anywhere in the State. The permit allocation for non-residents is also done via lottery. The archery season opens on October 1st and runs to Mid January closing during the 1st and 2nd shotgun seasons that are typically scheduled in Mid December. There is also an early and late muzzleloader season. The early season is in Mid October and the late season is typically in late December through early January. You can find out more information on Iowa seasons and permit allocation by clicking here http://www.iowadnr.gov/. The link to this website is also provided on the "Links" page.

Now introducing "Trophy Packages"
Are you an out of state hunter traveling long distances to hunt the Midwest? Do you live in state but are pressed for time? Ask about DTHL's Trophy Packages! Not only will DTHL provide you the property to hunt but can also prepare you for the season as well. If you're like most, the cost of gasoline now day's has definitely hampered the ability to make multiple trips to a farm prior to the season to prepare stand sites, plant food plots, setup mineral sites, run trail cameras, etc; DTHL can provide these services to the hunters. DTHL will try to accommodate all hunters with stand preference if possible but the typical set consists of a 15' or 20' climbing stick and a Gorilla Kong lock on stand. Ladder stands may also be used if requested. Food plots may be planted in areas designated by the landowner and DTHL typically utilizes the Biologic line of products. Mineral sites (if allowed in the state you are hunting) are created in the late spring to early summer to give that extra nutrition to those growing antlers and to also get the bucks coming to the trail cameras which will allow you to know what deer are calling you're farm home. All game monitoring cameras that DTHL utilizes are digital and the photos will be either emailed or put onto a CD and mailed out to the hunters every 4 weeks from June through September. The cost of these services is on a situational basis and will be added to the lease amount. This can prove to be very beneficial to the hunter!

Agency reveals details of Hodeida redeployment Phase 1
Sana'a (Debriefer)
2019-02-18 | Since 5 Month
اضغط هنا لقراءة الخبر بالعربية
Anadolu Agency on Monday revealed details of the redeployment plan Phase 1, agreed by both Yemeni warring parties to implement in the Red Sea port city of Hodeida.
The new agreement came following new round of negotiations within the Redeployment Coordination Committee chaired by the Danish General Michael Lollesgaardin a hotel in Hodeida, but no timetable was set for the withdrawal,the Turkish Agencyquoted a source at the UN envoy's office as saying.
Yemen has been racked by an armed conflict that broke out after the Iranian-backed Houthis had ousted the internationally recognized government late in 2014.
The conflict escalated after a Saudi-led coalition intervened militarily in the country in March 2015 to reinstate the government of President Hadi,leaving hundreds of thousands killed or injured and 3 million displaced, and pushing the country to the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
The port city of Hodeida has been under Houthi control since late 2014, while Yemeni joint forces loyal to legitimate government and Arab coalition have massed at the city's fringes seeking to retake the strategic port.
Speaking anonymously, the UN source told the AA that agreement included redeployment of forces in frontlines around Hodeida City and its Red Sea ports.
Houthi forces would withdraw by five kilometers from the ports of Hodeida, Salif and Ras Isa, and 350 meters downtown from the easternneighborhood of 7 July, one of the frontlines, said the source.
In return, the government troops would withdraw by one kilometer from the southern Kilo-8 quarter towards the east – keeping away from the Red Sea Mills by one kilometer – and one kilometer from the eastern neighborhood of 22 May, another frontline.
According to the source, among key points still disputed are the policeand security forces tobe deployed in, and authorities to manage the city, would they be from this or that side.
No comments or clarifications have been uttered immediately by any of the two parties on the essence of the pact.
On Sunday the United Nations announced that the Yemeni internationally recognized government and Houthi group had reached an agreement on Phase 1, and initially agreed on Phase 2, of "the mutual redeployment of forces" from the Red Sea port city of Hodeida.
The two parties made significant progress on troops redeployment, said a statement, without further details on disarmament date or other aspects of the new agreement between the Saudi-backed government and the Iranian-backed rebels.
According to the UN release, new round of talks will be held within one week to finalize details of redeployment Phase 2.
Parties to the nearly 4-year war in Yemen, after 8 days of peace talks in Sweden, reached on the 13th of last December an agreement providing for ceasefire in Hodeida and redeployment of both sides' forces. But this has yet to take place, with both sides trading blames for trying to thwart the deal.
Yemen has been experiencing the world's worst humanitarian crisis, according to the UN, with more than two thirds of the 28-million population in need for a type of humanitarian aid and immediate protection, including 8.4 million people unsure how to get next meal, and some 2 million children suffering severe shortage of nutrition.

Canyon-SRAM boss says Women's WorldTour teams are 'on the edge' as calendar grows for 2023
Ronny Lauke says that teams will struggle to fill race rosters throughout the season as the Women's WorldTour calendar grows to 86 days as team sizes stay at around 15.

With next year's Women's WorldTour calendar the biggest it has ever been, Canyon-SRAM team boss Ronny Lauke says that many top teams are "on the edge" as they try to compete across the season.
Should the whole season run as planned — the Chinese races at the end of the year are still doubtful due to COVID-19 restrictions — there are 86 days of WorldTour racing planned for 2023. Even without the Tours of Chongming Island and Guangxi, there are still 82 days — 11 more than this year.
While teams are allowed a maximum of 20 riders, which can go up to 22 if they have more than one neo-pro on their roster, most are running at far fewer. UAE Team Emirates has the most on its books with 16 riders, while Canyon-SRAM, like most teams, has a roster of 15.
Budgets are increasing in women's cycling, but they have not matched the pace of growth of the calendar and Lauke says teams are hitting a limit.
"At the end of the day, it all comes down to how much money you have. What I found out for most teams looks like they will go between 14 and 16 riders because they can't afford many more," Lauke told VeloNews. "At the moment, we're still growing and the sport needs to find its place. So many things are going in the right direction. Many things like the professionalism of the sport is getting better and riders can earn a decent salary. I think we get to a point where riders might not need to work after their career anymore — if they spend their money as income wisely as an athlete.
"There is a proper structure, they can focus on the sport. But now we need to deliver good bike races constantly so spectators find it interesting. It's a growing process and the teams that I've talked to they're all a little bit on the edge.
"That means at some races, you might start with less riders, because otherwise, it's too demanding for some athletes to give them one race after another. You don't want that to overtrain them and cook them… I don't believe that we will see every team on the WorldTour level participating in every WorldTour race with a full squad. I do not see that happening, because it's simply not affordable at the moment for any team."

Due to injury and riders with commitments in other disciplines like cyclocross and track, Lauke says that it will be impossible to have a full roster available to race at any given moment in the season. As the season progresses and fatigue also starts to set in, teams are likely to be thin on the ground come the closing weeks of the season.
Lauke worries that spreading teams and riders too thin could have a negative impact on the racing itself.
"At the moment, it looks like we try to copy the calendar from the men's WorldTour, which goes from January to October. If you want to race from January 15 (the date of the opening Women's WorldTour race) and then you want to race through October 21 in China it's pretty much like 10 months of racing with 15 riders and this is too demanding," he said.
"They are mentally tired, and they cannot deliver good performance anymore. This then leads into a lack of competition within the bike races and that's boring for the spectators again, so you need to find a fine balance to make sure that you have enough races, that you have enough riders and that you can afford all this on the highest level."
Tweaking the structure
Teams fielding smaller rosters at races are already an issue in the Women's WorldTour. At the final event of the series this season, the Tour de Romandie, just five teams of the 16 in the race fielded a full roster of six riders.
This was perhaps exacerbated by the world championships being held in Australia adding to a travel-weary peloton, but there were similar issues in 2021. The Ronde van Drenthe finished off that season's calendar with just four of the 15 teams sending a full complement of six riders.
Another challenge for teams will be a recent change in the rules that requires teams to send seven riders to WorldTour stage races of six or more days. That includes the Giro d'Italia Donne, Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, La Vuelta Femenina, Women's Tour, the Tour of Scandinavia, and the Simac Ladies Tour.
While the team's top riders will have more say in where and when they race, the remainder of the squad will have to take up the slack. Lauke believes that the sport as a whole needs to take a big-picture look going forward to see where certain aspects can be refined or fixed.
"I understand that sometimes men's teams have two or three programs next to another, but I do not think that any team can say they have, scientifically the best race program for each of their riders, because I think many of them just fill gaps throughout the season," he said. "Only probably is at best 10 riders in the men's team, maybe on the women's team, there are that top five riders who might have really a really good program. Then you start to juggle it around… and all of a sudden, they don't have a nice program anymore. The recovery periods are not looked after, or the proper build-up periods. I think it goes against the philosophy of giving riders a proper break, a proper build-up, and being able to achieve the goals that have been set together. In my opinion, it needs further exchange to fine-tune the whole system.
"[Organizers] want the best riders, but we have now, this team with 15 riders. We have riders in the ranking between number five and number 500, in the WorldTour but every race organizer is asking to have number five in the world ranking instead of number 500. You need to protect your riders at some point, but then race organizers are angry that you don't bring your strongest squad on paper.
"On the other side, I believe, even if a rider who's younger, and usually works for the number one or five, that she also deserves a chance to blossom and develop a career. I wish that race organizers, government, and teams, instead of only seeing your own position, sometimes try to take a helicopter view and try to see the whole sporting system and I think that would be much more beneficial."

Q: directive only works inside another directive i made a directive for filtering data. It uses scope: true and no transclusion. Somehow it only works inside an ng-switch. Maybe also other directives but i havent tried.
My html looks like this:
<my-filter source="{{foodArray}}" filter="reaction,category"> // source and filter are properties on the directive scope

 // filters property of directive scope
                <input type="checkbox" data-ng-model="item.isChecked" data-ng-change="filterCtrl.filterList()">
                {{ item.value }}

 // filteredData object on the directive scope
                // interating through filteredData

</my-filter>

here is my directive and its controller:
angular.module('myModule', [])
.directive('myFilter', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        scope: true,
        controller: ["$scope", function ($scope) {
            var filterCtrl = this;
            $scope.filters = {};
            filterCtrl.inputArray = [];

            filterCtrl.filterList = function() {
                /* some code where tmp array is created */

                $scope.filteredData = tmp;
            }
        }],
        controllerAs: 'filterCtrl',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, filterCtrl) {
            filterCtrl.inputArray = angular.fromJson(attrs.source);
            scope.filteredData = filterCtrl.inputArray;

            // ...
        }
    }
});

FilteredData and filters are property of the directives scope. Now when i remove the ng switch around it the data is empty. Also the scope.source property can be an array or  an object. When i remove the ng switch and give it an object as source it actually throws a syntax error: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
    at Object.parse (native)
    at Object.fromJson
Which it doesnt throw when i use an array.
Not sure what to make of this. If anybody had this problem before i would love to hear from you.


Jess Rose is a world-traveling, adventure-seeking yogi who teaches alignment-based vinyasa flow at international workshops and retreats, and teaches online to thousands of students with her 30 Days of Yoga Challenge and other programs on DOYOUYOGA.
Currently dividing her time between Mexico, the U.S., and Germany, Jess loves to travel the world to teach, write, and find inspiration in both the outer and inner worlds she finds herself in.
Yoga is… fun, and challenging, and confrontational, and therapeutic. It has the power to bring about the deepest feelings of peace in me, or spark my passion and drive...it just depends on the day and the practice. No matter what, yoga is a direct portal to a deep relationship with the self, learning to observe and transform how we react to challenges, finding the peacefulness at the very pit of our beings, and tapping into who we really are under all the layers of how we present ourselves.
I love how versatile yoga can be, so that I can change up my practice everyday to fit exactly what my body or heart is asking for. It doesn't take on the weight of being a chore, like something you force yourself to do and is exactly the same everyday. You can mix and match and get creative with your practice—you can just lie on the floor in sweatpants and breathe mindfully, you can chant OM 108 times under your breath in the line at the bank, read the Gita, or you can listen to a yoga podcast with your legs up the wall.
Yoga is so all-encompassing when you think of it as an amalgamation of physical practice, breath work, meditation, thousands of years of philosophy, and a path to a better, happier life. There is always some aspect of yoga that I am excited to explore any given day, and yoga and I have had a very long, interesting evolution together without the flame ever going out.
Yoga has had huge effects on my life...where to start? A couple things happened that made me realize just how much yoga was seeping into my veins while I was still pretty new to it. The first was being in a plane that got struck by lightning and the power going out.
When it happened, I had my mala beads in my hand and was using them to meditate. The plane went dark and we were cruising without power, people were screaming...it was pure chaos. I made the decision to keep meditating and not to freak out. I had no control over anything anyway, so I wanted to die peacefully.
I know that sounds really intense, but I felt a huge swell of tranquility wash over me—it was surprising. Ever since then, I try to always choose surrender and peace over fear-based action or panic.
The second thing I noticed, is that I will always skip going out and partying with my friends when there is a yoga class the next morning that I absolutely don't want to miss. My social life has suffered immeasurably since becoming a yogi! But I'm much happier and healthier this way, so no regrets at all. And, I've made a whole new group of like-minded friends who also think that going to bed at 9:30 to be fit for yoga in the morning is the cool thing to do, haha!
Physically, I'm a lot stronger than I used to be, which has helped me in the ways of carrying my luggage or pushing cars that are stuck in the sand, for example. But, more seriously, yoga has taught me how to move better. I feel more graceful, much more aware of my body in space, and totally comfortable with my body in all of its beauty and perfect imperfections.
I'm very proud of the fact that I can now sit still for over an hour without freaking out. I don't know if it's because the flexibility let me be more physically comfortable, or if mentally, I can accept stillness and being present and content with where I'm at and what I'm doing.
So now I can also peacefully sit through movies, which was never an option before, or enjoy a long meal without feeling compelled to get up and rush to the next thing. It's slowed down my life and allowed me to be present and really appreciate what I'm doing in every single moment, and that is incredibly life-changing.
On days when I'm not in the mood for a strong physical practice, I study philosophy or biomechanics or practice pranayama, and find the other limbs of yoga just as interesting and challenging as asana. But as far as my physical practice, there are always poses that scare me in a good way and teach me new things about my mental flexibility much more than my physical abilities.
Certain inversions still intimidate me, and I love to throw them in just to see how I react. Being a yogi who frequently does asana on camera has also upped my game and made it possible for me to explore poses I wouldn't otherwise have had the drive to try on my own. This is why, when I meet students who have done beautiful inversions with me, alone in their home with no external forces cheering them on, I am so absolutely amazed and inspired.
I'm really inspired by Buddhist philosophy, in particular Alan Watts and Pema Chödrön, for their graspable ways of bringing mindfulness and understanding to my frenzied and confused human existence.
I seem to repeatedly find myself in some sort of mental or emotional exhaustion revolving around love, work, or an existential crisis of some kind, so the ideas of impermanence and non-attachment always help me get myself back on track. I also love bringing a philosophical or psychological perspective into my yoga classes from time to time, and the Buddhist ideas on fear, power, surrender, change, and non-attachment seem to resonate powerfully with me and my students as well.
Hands down, standing split. I really, really struggle with this one! I think it's because I consider myself to be pretty flexible and pretty strong, but in this case, the parts do not equal the whole. I can do the splits on the ground, but there's something about that deep forward fold, and the glute and hamstring power to lift the top leg, that my body has not been able to unravel.
So even after years of practice and many, many attempts, I often feel like a chunk of rigid concrete block with a very stern-looking human head on one end and a wobbly twig of a leg aimlessly drifting in space on the other end.
When I'm stressed, Supta Baddha Konasana is my best remedy. Something about opening the hips softens my mental state, and if I prop my heart up on a block or a bolster, my chest can really expand to allow my breath to deepen and slow down.
For energy, inversions are the way to go. If I'm really low on energy, then headstand is great, but if I can muster the strength, a long handstand at the wall gets my blood pumping, sends fresh oxygen to tired cells, and gives me a little jolt of adrenaline to get me buzzed and reinvigorated.
For more dynamic flow practices, I really like to move to Nu, Nicolas Jaar, D.Lissvik, and Earthrise Sound System. I like eastern-inspired instrumentation with a slow, pulsing beat in the background to give a bit of a mystical sensuality to my practice.
For yin or restorative practices, I really love to put on Masood Ali Khan, Jane Winther, and Steve Ross. I have pretty eclectic musical tastes when it comes to my yoga playlists, but most important for me, is no vocals. Or, if there are vocals, they are either so reverb-y that they are just dreamy and incomprehensible, or in Sanskrit or a language that neither I nor my students speak.
I've been annoyed by lyrics and pop songs too many times in yoga classes—even singer/songwriter music made by yogis is too much for me on the mat. I love having my yoga practice be a time to focus on my breath and my body, not hear some dude whining about his lovelife, or talk about how we are all made of stars and fairy-dust or something like that, while I'm trying to guide myself into a standing split!
I got this advice from a friend when I was living in France, and it has stuck with me for over a decade: "Reculer pour mieux sauter." It roughly translates to, 'step back, in order to better jump forward'. It's been a personal mantra of mine ever since it was told to me.
I have the very reptilian-brain tendency to go into fast-acting fight mode when I feel threatened or uncomfortable, and this saying reminds me to give myself some space before I make a move. I also apply this advice to my yoga practice by doing plenty of yin and restorative sessions in between strong vinyasa days. This stepping back and slowing down to let my body unwind and re-pattern actually helps it to bounce back stronger and wiser than before.
Find your teacher! I have been incredibly lucky with my teachers over the years, but I've also been to a few classes where I felt totally uninspired (and even been injured!) by an inexperienced teacher. It doesn't matter whether they're online or in-person, shop around until you find someone you relate to, who makes you feel not just safe and supported, but also, motivated and empowered.
Without my teachers, I might have dropped my yoga practice years ago and never looked back. It's all about keeping your focus, being constantly inspired, and being encouraged to keep learning and evolving, and the best teachers are the ones who meet all of these criteria for you.
