Week in Struggle: July 9-15
On July 8, the Sanitation Committee for Popular Defense in Ouro Preto (Comitê Sanitário de Defesa Popular de Ouro Preto) led a protest against the monopoly utility company Saneouro which has taken over the water system which was privatized by president Jair Bolsonaro's government. Approximately 300 protesters marched in the streets against Saneouro, which has raised the cost of water. Banners read "Out with Saneouro," and "Down with the genocidal military government and the sell-out Bolsonaro," in reference to the Bolsonaro government handing the control of water to the monopoly.

Thousands of people protested across Brazil against the fascist President Jair Bolsonaro and the privatization of public services; solidarity with the League of Poor Peasants (LCP, Liga dos Camponeses Pobres) was seen during the demonstrations. Protesters faced state repression including tear gas and rubber bullets. Banners were signed by the Red Unit-Revolutionary Youth League (Unidade Vermelha – Liga Da Juventude Revolucionária), and the Popular Revolutionary Student Movement (Movimento Estudantil Popular Revolucionário). The banners read "Down with the military and genocidal government of Bolsonaro," and "Down with the government of Bolsonaro and the Generals! For New Democratic Revolution!"
In Rio de Janeiro graffiti in support of the LCP read "Down with Bolsonaro's genocidal military government," and "Long live the LCP!"
The Workers' Association "Adolfo Guerra" (Asociación de Trabajadores "Adolfo Guerra") celebrated its 12th anniversary this month. The association was born out of the struggle against former President Rafael Correa's fascist regime. Through struggle, the association was able to end job outsourcing at the North Electric Company. It has also forge a revolutionary line within the trade union movement, and has openly declared its support for a worker and peasant alliance.
In Berlin, graffiti was documented in support of local workers at Gorillas, a grocery delivery service, striking against recent firings and demanding better working conditions. The slogan read "Solidarity with labor disputes and strikes!" accompanied by a hammer and sickle.
Galicia (Spanish State)
Large posters were documented in Galicia as part of an agitation campaign for the Day of the Galician Homeland, a political celebration calling for Galician independence on July 25. The posters read "For the Socialist Galician Republic, support base for the World Proletarian Revolution!"
The revolutionary organization Anti Imperialist Action Ireland held a demonstration against the presence of British Imperialists and the British Military in Dublin, disrupting a ceremony organized by the British Legion, a charity for British veterans. The revolutionary activists made it past security and unfurled banners with the slogans, "No to the Glorification of Imperialist Wars- Brits Out," "Britain Out of Ireland," and "Free Ireland Now!"
A speech was given stating "The struggle for national liberation and Socialist Revolution continues today, and will continue until the reestablishment of the All Ireland People's Republic. Actions such as we have taken today are important to demonstrate that Resistance against Imperialism in Ireland continues and that Revolutionary Socialist Republicans will continue to be at the forefront of opposing Imperialism in every part of Ireland."
Graffiti was documented in Los Angeles and Austin in solidarity to the League of Poor Peasants (LCP) and the agrarian revolution in Brazil. Slogans included "Freedom for Brazilian political prisoners from Camp Manoel Ribeiro!", "Free Ricardo, Ezequiel, Luis Carlos, Estephane!", "Long live the Brazilian agrarian revolution!", and "Long live the LCP!"
On Sunday, the anti-imperialist organization Oxnard Revolutionary Study Group (OxRevStudy) held an educational event on the history of police brutality in Ventura County. The event was held at a park in Santa Paula and featured portraits of the victims of police violence, and a large banner which read "Fight Back Against Police Brutality with Revolution!" Activists gave speeches detailing the stories of the various cases of police violence in the county. Community members also shared their own experiences with police brutality.

Treiso is the undisputed star of Barbaresco's 2010 vintage. The wines are aromatically expressive, layered and spiced, with fabulous balance and class. A number of the village's top producers made some of their best wines ever.
The 2010 vintage has turned out to be inconsistent for Barbaresco. I tasted everything from powerful, structured wines to thin, diluted efforts with little complexity or pedigree. The growing season was long and cold, but it was rain near harvest time that complicated things. A number of producers did not bottle their top wines, including the Produttori del Barbaresco - who did not make their Riservas - Castello di Neive and Cortese. Ceretto suffered damage from hail in Asili, so they were not able to make their flagship Barbaresco Bricco Asili. Bruno Giacosa took the highly unusual step of skipping the vintage entirely.
In my view, 2010 is the vintage that establishes two things clearly. First, the three villages that make up the Barbaresco production zone – Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso – are unique entities that don't always track together. The same is true for Barbaresco vis-à-vis Barolo. It is simply no longer enough to talk about 'Piedmont' vintages, rather if we want to engage in a truly meaningful discussion, we have to peel the layers of the onion back a little more.
I have heard various theories why the wines of Treiso are clear standouts in 2010. The most logical is that Treiso's vineyards are on average higher in altitude than those in Barbaresco and Neive. In 2010, that meant these sites received more light and also saw greater diurnal shifts, both of which helped dry out the rain, yet provided for the gradual ripening conditions that are ideal for Nebbiolo. Whatever the exact reasons may be, the simple fact is that the 2010s from Treiso are fabulous. A number of growers made wines that rank among their finest.
There are plenty of highlights in Neive as well. Neive Barbarescos tend to be more structured and tannic than those from other parts of the zone. I came across a number of fabulous 2010s from Neive. Things get much more dicey in Barbaresco itself, where I found everything from the diluted to the majestic. The best producers did well, but what else is new? As always, I suggest buying the producer first and the vintage second.
I also tasted a number of 2011s, some from barrel, others recently bottled. As readers know by now, 2011 was a precocious vintage, starting with bud break, which was a full month ahead of schedule. Stylistically 2011 resembles 2007 in that the wines are rich, textured and voluptuous. I am looking forward to tasting more examples. The wines I have tasted so far paint a picture of a vintage with considerable early appeal, yet the best wines appear to have the stuffing to age. Readers with more classic leanings will probably prefer the 2010s. Either way it is hard to go wrong at any of the top addresses in Barbaresco with 2010 or 2011.
This year we are publishing reviews in smaller, more frequent articles. Dolcetto, Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo and other entry-level wines from Barbaresco will be profiled in a separate report this fall, as will new releases from Barolo, Roero and northern Piedmont. The overwhelming majority of wines in this article were tasted in August 2013.

Q: In C# how can I deserialize this json when one field might be a string or an array of strings? I have an asp.net-mvc website and i am reading in Json string from a Database. Here is the following json in a DB.  It could look like this:
{"description": "Test", "contacts": ["joe@gmail.com", "bill@yahoo.com"], "enabled": true}

or this:
{"description": "Test", "contacts": "joe@gmail.com, bill@yahoo.com", "enabled": true}

so as you can see, the contacts field is either:

*

*a string (with items separated by commas)

*an array of strings.

I want to convert to this class:
public class MyJob
{
    public string description;
    public string[] contacts;
    public string enabled;
}

when i try to assign just to a string (changing the above to this:         public string contacts;
)  using the JavascriptSerializer():
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string contacts = serializer.Deserialize<MyJob>(theAboveJsonString).contacts;

I get this error in the cases where its an array: Type 'System.String' is not supported for deserialization of an array.
what is the best way to go about deserializing this to handle the case of:

*

*a string

*an array of strings.

for the contact field.  I am happy to put any conditional logic needed . .
I tried this:
  var contacts = serializer.Deserialize<MyJob>(theAboveJsonString).contacts;
        if (contacts is string)
        {
            jobInfo.contacts = contacts;
        }
        else
        {
            jobInfo.contacts = String.Join("; ", contacts );
        }

but that didn't seem to fix as i am still getting the error above when its an array

A: try
  var contacts = (new JavaScriptSerializer().DeserializeObject(theAboveJsonString) as Dictionary<string, object>)["contacts"];

  if (contacts is object[])
  {
      jobInfo.contacts = String.Join("; ", contacts as object[]);
  }
  else
  {
      jobInfo.contacts = contacts.ToString();
  }

For reference see MSDN and here.

A: You may be interested in some details here: JSON.net - field is either string or List<string>
If you're willing to use Json.NET, have this function:
public string[] getAsArray(JToken token)
{
    if (token.HasValues)
    {
        return token.Select(m => string(m)).ToArray();
    }
    else
    {
        return ((string)token).Split(",").Select(s => s.Trim()).ToArray();
    }
}

Then usage:
var json = "...";
JObject o = JObject.Parse(json);
string[] contacts = getAsArray(o["contacts"]);

For either JSON the result should be the same.

A: Try to deserialize contacts into a string array instead of a plain string:
string[] contacts = serializer.Deserialize<MyJob>(theAboveJsonString).contacts;

if the JSON variable is holding a plain string, use:
string[] contacts = serializer.Deserialize<MyJob>(theAboveJsonString).contacts.Split(',');

HTC Desire 630 is one of the best choices when it comes to affordable smartphones. Whenever you manage to buy this smartphone, you will find out that it is not only well-made, but it also has great features. The amount of money you have to pay for the device will be insignificant, given the fact that it functions at an advanced level. HTC Desire 630 was announced back in February 2016 and it features a 5.0 inches Super LCD captive touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1280. But as you know, with time, everything starts malfunctioning. Therefore, opting to hard reset the HTC Desire 630 may be the smartest thing to do.


Cherokee County, NC is taking a big step towards greatly expanding carry rights for both its citizens and employees.
The county board voted to allow carry in all county offices (except the court house and jail) for both citizens and employees who possess a carry permit.
Wood said the five-member board decided in December to repeal the county's 1995 ban on carrying a gun inside government buildings after the state expanded the right to carry in places such as bars and at parks.
…The move by Cherokee County is a good decision, said Paul Valone, president of the gun rights group Grass Roots North Carolina.
I would really like to see some better state preemption laws in North Carolina to prevent counties from enacting their own, stricter gun laws as well as a repeal of NC's well known "Going Armed to the Terror of the People" statute.

Who Invented the First Gun?
By: Jeff Harder & Sharise Cunningham | Updated: Aug 31, 2021
Historians generally consider the Chinese fire lance as the first gun. Wikimedia/(CC BY-SA 3.0)
They've been in existence for more than 1,000 years and have affected warfare — and society in general — in ways perhaps no other invention can match. We're talking about guns. Once just the weapon of the world's military forces, now guns are considered a "right" of the average citizen by some people, especially in the United States where it's written into the Constitution.
It all started in China around 850 C.E., when Chinese alchemists accidentally created gunpowder while trying to develop a "fountain of youth" potion. The resulting powder called huo yao, was a blend of charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur. They quickly learned the powder could be used in warfare. The then-reigning Song Dynasty is the first to have used gunpowder against the Mongols, whose constant invasions into the country plagued the Chinese throughout the period.
The Chinese attacked the Mongols with fire lances or "flying fire" — arrows fixed with tubes of gunpowder that, when ignited, would propel across enemy lines. More gunpowder-based weapons followed as the Chinese perfected a variety of weapons against the Mongols over the next centuries, including the first cannons and grenades.
Gunpowder Arrives in Europe
Gunpowder made its way to Europe in the 13th century, likely over the Silk Road trade routes through Central Asia. Rival nations refined gunpowder recipes in the ensuing centuries before arriving at the optimum mixture: approximately 75 percent saltpeter, 15 percent charcoal and 10 percent sulfur.
Hand cannons, like the c. late 14th century one depicted here with powder bag and ramrod, made firing by a single soldier simple. The hand cannon is quite possibly the first personal firearm

By 1350, rudimentary gunpowder cannons were commonplace in the English and French militaries, who used the explosive technology against each other during the Hundred Years' War.
As the centuries continued, new and improved cannons were designed, many of which were small and portable. Eventually the hand cannon was developed in the early 15th century; it was the first real personal firearm. The Ottoman Turks used these and other cannons during the successful siege of Constantinople in 1453. The powerful new weapons essentially rendered traditional walled fortifications of Europe defenseless.
Invention of the Modern Handgun
Historians generally consider the Chinese fire lance as the first gun. But before the 15th century, guns were tricky to fire — they required both hands and a burning wick to ignite the powder.
Enter the invention of the lock, an internal firing mechanism that made shooting a hand-held firearm more efficient, easier and safer. The first was a matchlock, followed by a series of enhancements until we get something more akin to the guns we know today.
The first known gun to use a matchlock was the French arquebus, a short-barreled long gun (rifle) held at the shoulder yet small enough to be handled by one person. A gunpowder-soaked cord burned at both ends until it touched a pan of flash powder, which sent a small ball soaring toward its enemy. Still, they were cumbersome weapons that could only be fired once every two minutes.
Guns slowly replaced old-guard weapons, because they were more economical, rather than more lethal. Lifelong devotion was required to become a highly skilled (and highly paid) swordsman or archer, but a few weeks or months of training could turn a lower-class soldier into a skilled gunner.
Besides increasing the field of soldiers, guns have had far-reaching influence on the nature of armed combat, from the distances at which dueling armies engage one another to the types of wounds soldiers incur. Only the horse — which dominated battlefields for millennia — has proven more important than the gun.

First Gun FAQ
What was the first gun ever made?
The Chinese fire lance, a bamboo tube that used gunpowder to fire a spear, invented in the 10th century, is regarded by historians as the first gun ever made. Gunpowder was previously invented in China in the 9th century.
What did the first gun look like?
The earliest gun, the Chinese fire lance, had a gunpowder-filled tube (normally bamboo) attached to a spear. When ignited, the tube projected flames and added shrapnel such as pottery shards at the target.
When did the British army start using guns?
It was in the late 19th century when rifles fully replaced the musket as military weapons. The first order to build 1,000 rifles for the British Army was made in January, 1776. A pattern by a gunsmith, William Grice, was approved for official issue.
Who brought gunpowder to Europe?
The information about how to make gunpowder spread quickly throughout Asia, the Middle East and Europe as a result of the Mongol conquests. But gunpowder was first brought to Europe in the 13th century, possibly by traders, over the Silk Road trade routes through central Asia.
What was the first fully automatic gun?
The Maxim machine gun was the first fully automatic machine gun. It was developed by an engineer and inventor, Hiram Maxim, in 1884 in England. This automatic gun was also known as the Vickers-Maxim or just Vickers.

ATLUTD: MLS Regular Season
Atlanta United at Orlando City: Three Questions
With SB Nation's The Mane Land
By Haris Kruskic@HKruskic Jul 21, 2017, 9:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Atlanta United at Orlando City: Three Questions
To get everyone ready for Atlanta United's clash against Orlando City, we spoke with The Mane Land's Michael Citro to get his take on a potential rivalry, Cyle Larin, and potential All-Star snubs from Orlando.
DSS: How does the Orlando fanbase feel about this potential rivalry with Atlanta United?
TML: I think Orlando City fans are pretty excited to have a team within driving distance and about the potential to have a geographic rival in Major League Soccer. I'm personally more of a "show me" kind of guy and although I suspect that a heated rivalry may be on the way, I'm not quite ready to go all-in the way some fans on both sides already have. Geography usually does play a role in great rivalries but there's also typically a flashpoint that sets both sides into a frenzy. Maybe we'll get that soon with the back-to-back games coming up.
DSS: How does it feel to have Cyle Larin back after his short dismissal, and what was the impact on Orlando when he wasn't available?
TML: It was good to see Cyle get on the field and start to put his troubles behind him. It was a shock to see Larin get into that kind of trouble and thankfully he didn't hurt himself or anyone else as a result of his poor judgment. The hope is that he can learn from that and perhaps speak out against that kind of behavior to put his celebrity status to good use. He was clearly not fully fit after no team activity for a couple of weeks but he still occupies a lot of the opposition's attention, so it was good to have him back on the field. However, now the Canadian National Team has stolen him away for the remainder of the Gold Cup.
DSS: Other than Kaka, were there any other Orlando players worthy of being in the All-Star Game?
TML: With only one team from the MLS it was always going to be a stretch to see a second Lion on the squad, although in all honesty I think Jonathan Spector (and perhaps Scott Sutter) were deserving of the honor. Larin tailed off after a bright start and with his DUI arrest he was never making this year's team. Joe Bendik isn't a big enough name, although he's played like an All-Star most of the year. In the end, it's probably best not to have our players putting in more travel and play away from the team as the Lions have to re-focus and get back to where they were early in the year.

Congratulations to Vu and Monica! These two lovebirds were recently hitched, not once or twice, but THREE times! It wasn't enough to say "I do" in Mexico, so they did it again in San Diego, and then again in Vancouver!
I've known Vu and his family since the early 80s. I have some funny childhood photos of us filed away in a family album somewhere at my parents' home collecting dust...ahhh the good old days! After my family moved to Chula Vista in the 90s, we lost touch during most of our adoloscence, but we reconnected in college and kept in touch since. Thanks to email and MSN messenger, staying in touch was pretty much effortless.
When Vu told me that he had found THE ONE only after dating Monica for three months, I knew he was serious. I never thought of Vu as the "impulsive type," so when he told me he was head over heels for Monica, I knew he had found HER, the woman he would spend the rest of his life with happily ever after.
Words can't really explain how Vu knew Monica was the love of his life, but when he talked about her, you could just sense the sincerity and authenticity of his love for her. Read about how he proposed to Monica here.
Some people believe couples should date for at least a year or two before getting hitched, but can you really put a time schedule on love? I don't think so.
So why the three weddings? She's from Canada, he's from San Diego, and what if the couple wants a destination wedding? How do you decide on the wedding location? Why not have it all and plan three weddings? Talk about over-the-top, but you know what? They pulled it off and made it all look so easy.
Nick and I were honored to attend their special celebration in Mexico.
* Do wear khaki or linen pants.
* Do wear sun dresses.
* Do wear sandals/flip flops or shoes with smaller heels. It's difficult to walk on sand with 3-inch heels!
* Do wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
* Do not wear t-shirts. Wear a button-down shirt.
* Do not wear shorts. Although one or two people will show up in shorts, do YOU want to be that person?
* Remember to bring sunblock. You can be stuck in the sun for a long time before the bride walks down the aisle, so protect yourself!
I have to admit, I felt a little uncomfortable wearing my dress with sandals, so next time I'll wear a long flowy dress that covers my feet entirely.
As we approached the wedding setup on the beach, they handed out these cool sun umbrellas!
It was HOT, HOT, HOT! Everyone was sweating profusely and fanning themselves with the program, so the resort staff handed out refreshing, cold bottles of water to guests. GREAT IDEA!
The entire ceremony was HEARD. Thanks to the use of a microphone, guests were able to hear every poem, speech and vow -- loud and clear!

Q: Generating number sequence in SSAS 2016 I'm trying to generate a sequence of numbers in a calculated table for a SSAS 2016 1200 Tabular model.
What i'm trying to achieve is is to generate number sequence like 1,2,3..100 in a single column. Just like the GENERATESERIES() DAX function does, but it is only available in SSAS 2017 and onward.
Is there a good a simple way to achieve the same thing in SSAS 2016?

A: Yes, in SSAS 2016 you can use CALENDAR and then cast the Date to an int, like for instance
EVALUATE
SELECTCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( 1, 100 ), "Value", INT ( [Date] ) )

We see Level 1 as the first-time Washington visitor - take them to the Mall and enjoy some of the Smithsonian museums, look at some monuments, brunch at Eastern Market, admire the White House, go up to the W Hotel balcony, stroll in Georgetown, and see something on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center.
As I've confessed in the past, it took me over two years of Washington living before I visited Dumbarton Oaks Gardens, despite it being named one of National Geographic's top 10 gardens in the world - and it being at the top of my street! My parents were dazzled by its prettiness and we spent a delightful two hours strolling around the grounds. There are still lots of flowers, and great views. But not satisfied, we sought further and more obscure horticultural delight in Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. These Gardens are not only free, they are absolutely beautiful at this time of year, and we had a spectacular stroll down the paths and boardwalk.
It's always lovely to sample some of DC's arts scene with visitors but my parents' visit fell during an unusual theatrical lull. So it was with some trepidation that we ventured to Ford's Theater to see Driving Miss Daisy. I have never seen a show I enjoyed at Ford's Theatre. Until now. I stand corrected. Driving Miss Daisy was a quiet delight - excellent script, set, direction and acting combined for a really charming, compelling show. Sorry - it closed yesterday. But I'll be keeping a better eye on Ford's Theater from now on.
For spoken word, we went to the National Geographic for what turned out to be an excellent panel of some of DC's top chefs, talking entertainingly about some of the challenges of the restaurant industry - and debating these thoughtfully too. There was a reception afterwards catered by DC Central Kitchen, and given we'd all been shown a documentary about their work, this was an evening that was interesting, entertaining and feel-good. I love National Geographic Live events. Here's what's coming up. I also sent them to an event at the Jewish Literary Festival while I was at work and by all accounts it was a success - the festival is on til Wednesday.
And we even managed to fit in bowling at Pinstripes (lots of fun), re-seeing Pride at the cinema (my favorite film this year), beer tasting at Glenn's Garden Market, and spicy cocktails at Harold Black.
No Level 3 visit is complete without a day trip, and ours was to Baltimore. A speedy 45 minute-ish train trip brought us to the city, and soon afterwards, we were sipping coffee in a cool Italian coffeeshop in Little Italy (the nicest Little Italy I've seen in the US, incidentally), before stepping onto Segways for a tourist-tastic but embarrassingly delightful tour around the city. I can't think of a better way to see Baltimore on a sunny day and my parents were duly charmed by the Harbor, Federal Hill, and Fell's Point. We then lunched in Little Italy, and walked over the Everyman Theatre to see a matinee of Grounded, which was excellent and is on til November 16th. A successful day out!
And finally, of course, DC has so much great stuff to offer that there's no shame in reverting to Level 1. With the Washington Monument reopening, we'd been waiting for my parents' visit to go up to the top. Sunday was the day. My lovely wife went down to join the line for the same-day ticket office that opens at 8:30am each day, and got tickets (free) for that afternoon. We walked there via the Lincoln Memorial, then ascended in a charming old elevator right to the top, where we got a chance to peek out the windows that you can see as little slits from afar - amazing, exciting 360 degree views of Washington and much further. Definitely the best views to be had in the city, and not busy or unpleasant at all due to their ticketing system. We were particularly entertained to see the sand portrait on the Mall that was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery and can only be viewed from the Monument (or from a plane flying into National!) Absolutely worth a look. And of course, where did we have champagne afterwards? The rooftop patio at the W. Because why not.
Aside from all the parent fun, my lovely wife and I also got to the HRC National Dinner, an extravaganza of 3200 people eating, drinking, and fundraising - while listening to Bill Clinton, Elton John, Yeardley Smith, Jennifer Hudson, and others - and then dancing the night away. I had a really excellent time. And kudos to my lovely wife for getting up early the following morning for her heroic cycle to the Washington Monument the following morning to get tickets while I went back to sleep. Ahem.
What's coming up that sounds cool this week?
Mon 27 Oct - Ri Ra has a free book reading by Irish Author Eimear McBride and there's a free rehearsed reading of play Should've about science, ethics, and whodunnit... worth attending for the cool venue alone. I love the theatre at the National Academy of Sciences. The reading is a collaboration with Studio Theatre.
Tue 28th Oct - Has this week's blog put you in the mood for gelato tasting, or made you want to visit the Dolcezza factory? Do both, plus learn the science of gelato and sip cocktails at this cool Periodic Table tasting event.
Wed 29th Oct - Story League has assembled some of DC's funniest stories for a storytelling evening with lots of laughs at the Bier Baron.
Thu 30th Oct - Also at the Bier Baron, check out Ha!lloween comedy.
Wed 5th Nov - Remember to get tickets now: Perfect Liars Club is coming on the 5th November and as ever, it's going to be fantastic.


Extended deadline for our Digital Transformations PhD Project Studentships!
We are pleased to announce three new PhD studentships for 2014 entry attached to the AHRC funded Digital Transformations project, 'The Digital Panopticon: The Global Impact of London Punishments, 1780-1925' a collaborative project between the Universities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Oxford, Sussex, and Tasmania.
The project seeks to use innovative digital methodologies to investigate the penal outcomes of those convicted at the Old Bailey, by comparing imprisonment in Britain with transportation from Britain to Australia.
This studentship will investigate the social and geographical origins and destinations of men and women convicted at the Old Bailey between 1785 and 1875, in order to shed light on patterns of mobility, the causes of crime, and understandings of identity in early industrial Britain.
The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries witnessed the development of the concepts of habitual offending and the criminal class. Taking advantage of the extensive records of both petty and serious crime digitised and linked together by the Digital Panopticon project, this studentship will investigate these phenomena from the perspective of the judicial records, by tracing the incidence and character of repeat offending.
This project will examine the impact of the widespread availability of digital resources on attitudes towards crime and its history. Core case studies will include the Old Bailey Proceedings Online, Founders and Survivors (records of the 73,000 men women and children who were transported to Tasmania), and the Digital Panopticon website.
This entry was posted in News and tagged AHRC, Bob Shoemaker, funding, PhD, project, studentship on July 17, 2014 by Beky Hasnip.

Home / Old Try / The local paper.
In this age where you can make blogs all around the world, it really is something to make the local paper.
Our neighbors saved a paper copy and gave it to us, cause when it went live on the internet, I didn't even know we had a real printed paper in the town.
It was in a converted tobacco factory in North Carolina where advertising professionals Micah and Marianna Whitson first met — a fact that isn't surprising when you survey their letterpress designs.
Micah currently works as a graphic designer and Marianna is an image librarian. Individually, the two have also worked as creative experts in London, done retail sales in Atlanta, led bike tours in Durango, Colo., and performed design work for folks from Kentucky to South Korea.
After resettling near Boston, the Whitsons began designing graphic prints, which draw inspiration from "books, experience, suggestions, Faulkner and memories" to invoke the ethos of the South.
The Whitsons moved to Somerville four years ago and recently relocated to Arlington. They operate an independent letterpress design studio, which is named Old Try, a reference both to the expression "the old college try" and their desire to revive a labor-intensive craft.
Where are you from and how did you get to Arlington?
I'm from a small town in North Alabama, called Athens. It's in what once was the largest cotton-producing county in the state. My lovely wife is from the "City of Oaks," Raleigh, N.C. We moved up four- -and-a-half-years ago and lived in Somerville for the first three. Since Marianna coaches girls' lacrosse in the evenings during the season, we moved out to Arlington. And Blue Ribbon Barbecue is here, so it was a no-brainer.
How did you start making prints?
The tornados that ripped through Alabama and North Carolina back in April really weighed heavily in our hearts. Friends from high school lost their houses. Landmarks that I remember from growing up were thrown all over. My family was out of touch for five days. There was no phone service. I watched my county all smashed up from news footage from a helicopter.
And very quickly thereafter, I saw folks who were from the South, but now living in Chicago and New York City start making shirts and prints to raise money for rebuilding. And my heart just about swelled with pride from seeing those other expats do something for their homes. And I just wanted to hug the whole state and the whole region. I got to thinking about how to write love letters home.
I grew up an hour south of Hatch Show Print in Nashville — one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in the country — and I always just loved them and their letterpress aesthetic. So I went around searching for letterpresses in Boston. Turns out there are three of them in and around our old neighborhood in Somerville. We've used each one of them so far.
Why did you name the business Old Try?
When the two of us started talking we didn't have any idea of how this thing would go over. And we thought, "Why not give her the old college try?" It had a nice ring to it. And being a visual nerd, it's quick and simple, stacks nicely and has balance. So, no big lighting bolts — just happened to stumble across it.
What is the aesthetic of the south?
I don't think there's just one look, but of course, everyone will say the same thing about where they are from. But the way I interpret it is that it's practical, simple and honest. It's about having to do more with less. And that's why I love using old wood and lead type with letterpress. You can only do what you can do. You want a script? Well, we don't have a script. You want the E to be bigger? Well, we only got one E, and it's that size. You have to slow down, respect the limits of resources and work within that box.
It's so refreshing to work that way and leave the realm of digital design, where I can do just about anything I want, and to just strip away color and words and images until we get to the very heart of what it is about a place.
How is your work routed in the culture of the south?
I just think folks identify with where they come from. We're Southern. As much as we may try to think we're something else based on where we live, all the roads here lead that way. It's where family is and where memories are and where friends are raising their babies. They move to New York City or overseas, but a lot of them end up going back. And for those who don't, well, that's why we're doing this. We think we're helping connect people to place.
And that's what it's about. Whether you grew up in Massachusetts or Maine or Louisiana, there's a place in your past that helped shape you, for good or bad. And we've found the longer we're away, the more refined and the more pure and the better the memories become. And we miss it. And so we do it.
Are we going to move back? Probably at some point, but not now.
I think Curtis Wilkie, the writer and former Boston Globe reporter, says it really well in "Dixie": "I was determined to join a band of expatriates on the East Coast, a group (Willie) Morris described as 'a genuine set of exiles, almost in the European sense: alienated from home yet forever drawn back to it, seeking some form of personal liberty elsewhere yet obsessed with the texture and the complexity of the place from which they had departed as few Americans from other states ever could be.' "
All over — a lot of folks in California, southern expats, and letterpress fans. People with the name Dixie.
We have a big old notebook of ideas … and we take the designs to the guys at Union Press, the letterpress print shop in Union Square in Somerville. We find type that works, based on what they have in their shop, then talk about the images. Anything that isn't type is hand-carved by the printmaker, so we discuss how to get images to read correctly. Then we check proofs and run off 100 prints. It's a very time-intensive, impractical way of doing things, which is just what we're into.
Do you make custom prints for customers?
No sir. For the first time in our lives we're getting to do exactly what we want and not having to answer to clients. So long as the two of us like it, it will be available to hang on your wall at some point in the future.

Making sure artificial intelligence does what we want and behaves in predictable ways will be crucial as the technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous. It's an area frequently neglected in the race to develop products, but DeepMind has now outlined its research agenda to tackle the problem.
AI safety, as the field is known, has been gaining prominence in recent years. That's probably at least partly down to the overzealous warnings of a coming AI apocalypse from well-meaning, but underqualified pundits like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. But it's also recognition of the fact that AI technology is quickly pervading all aspects of our lives, making decisions on everything from what movies we watch to whether we get a mortgage.
That's why DeepMind hired a bevy of researchers who specialize in foreseeing the unforeseen consequences of the way we built AI back in 2016. And now the team has spelled out the three key domains they think require research if we're going to build autonomous machines that do what we want.
In a new blog designed to provide updates on the team's work, they introduce the ideas of specification, robustness, and assurance, which they say will act as the cornerstones of their future research. Specification involves making sure AI systems do what their operator intends; robustness means a system can cope with changes to its environment and attempts to throw it off course; and assurance involves our ability to understand what systems are doing and how to control them.
A classic thought experiment designed to illustrate how we could lose control of an AI system can help illustrate the problem of specification. Philosopher Nick Bostrom's posited a hypothetical machine charged with making as many paperclips as possible. Because the creators fail to add what they might assume are obvious additional goals like not harming people, the AI wipes out humanity so we can't switch it off before turning all matter in the universe into paperclips.
Obviously the example is extreme, but it shows how a poorly-specified goal can lead to unexpected and disastrous outcomes. Properly codifying the desires of the designer is no easy feat, though; often there are not neat ways to encompass both the explicit and implicit goals in ways that are understandable to the machine and don't leave room for ambiguities, meaning we often rely on incomplete approximations.
The researchers note recent research by OpenAI in which an AI was trained to play a boat-racing game called CoastRunners. The game rewards players for hitting targets laid out along the race route. The AI worked out that it could get a higher score by repeatedly knocking over regenerating targets rather than actually completing the course. The blog post includes a link to a spreadsheet detailing scores of such examples.
Another key concern for AI designers is making their creation robust to the unpredictability of the real world. Despite their superhuman abilities on certain tasks, most cutting-edge AI systems are remarkably brittle. They tend to be trained on highly-curated datasets and so can fail when faced with unfamiliar input. This can happen by accident or by design—researchers have come up with numerous ways to trick image recognition algorithms into misclassifying things, including thinking a 3D printed tortoise was actually a gun.
Building systems that can deal with every possible encounter may not be feasible, so a big part of making AIs more robust may be getting them to avoid risks and ensuring they can recover from errors, or that they have failsafes to ensure errors don't lead to catastrophic failure.
And finally, we need to have ways to make sure we can tell whether an AI is performing the way we expect it to. A key part of assurance is being able to effectively monitor systems and interpret what they're doing—if we're basing medical treatments or sentencing decisions on the output of an AI, we'd like to see the reasoning. That's a major outstanding problem for popular deep learning approaches, which are largely indecipherable black boxes.
The other half of assurance is the ability to intervene if a machine isn't behaving the way we'd like. But designing a reliable off switch is tough, because most learning systems have a strong incentive to prevent anyone from interfering with their goals.
The authors don't pretend to have all the answers, but they hope the framework they've come up with can help guide others working on AI safety. While it may be some time before AI is truly in a position to do us harm, hopefully early efforts like these will mean it's built on a solid foundation that ensures it is aligned with our goals.
