Holt Farrier is the deuteragonist who appears in the 2019 remake of Dumbo, portrayed by Colin Farrell.
Holt serves as a human stand-in for Timothy Q. Mouse, filling the roles of best friend and father figure to Dumbo that Timothy filled in the original animated movie.
2.1 Dumbo (2019)
Holt is described as the father of his children Joe and Milly. Ever since he lost his arm during his last war, the ringmaster Max Medici gives him a fake arm as a replacement. Ever since he returned to the Medici Bros. Circus, it is found out that his wife Annie died during the influenza and Holt is also described as a horse rider.
To his help to the circus before it included an animal-free policy, he does not tolerate any animal handler being rude to other animals, such as his moment with Rufus Sorghum. Whenever he sees Rufus doing this action, he stops him from causing any harm to animals.
Colin Farrell portrays Holt. "He was half of a double act with his wife before he went off to fight in the First World War," says Farrell of his character. "They had a horse act where they would do roping tricks and trick riding, but he was sent off to fight and left his wife and two children behind. By the time he comes back, his wife has passed away and his children were raised by the circus. He's also lost his left arm in battle, so he is both physically and psychologically wounded. He comes back to a life he doesn't recognize. He doesn't know how to deal with the grief of having lost his wife."
Farrell's casting marks the first time he's worked with director Tim Burton, who says the actor instantly found the heart of the character. "Holt is war damaged, he's missing an arm, he used to be a star, he hasn't seen his kids and he doesn't really know how to talk to them," says Burton. "To try and do that subtly and emotionally takes a certain type of person, somebody who understands drama and comedy and emotion, all mixed together. It's a subtle part, and those are sometimes the hardest ones to do. Colin's great because he did it, he really understood the mixture of all of those things. Plus, he can ride a horse one-armed, and you can't say that about everybody. He was a real collaborator, and really fun to work with."
Farrell is no stranger to horses, having appeared in several films that required extensive horse riding ("Alexander," "Winter's Tale," among others). "Any of the times I've ridden horses in films, there's always a specific reason or scene that will demand a certain new skill set," says the actor-slash-equestrian. "So, I've been doing a little bit of roping on this film that I hadn't really ever done before, and that's been tricky. But I've had some great guys working with me. Rowley Irlam, who's the stunt coordinator I worked with on 'Alexander,' and Luis Miguel Arranz, who's a Spanish horse trainer and rider, are kind of genius. So, it's been fun. It's a huge part of Holt's life, so it was fairly important that I at least seem to have a sense of comfort."
According to costume designer Colleen Atwood, Holt's background as a performer and horseman influences his wardrobe. "He was a cowboy performer who was flashy when he was a circus star," she says. "His costumes still have a southwestern flavor within the parameters of the period."
"It's a journey about a man becoming whole again," Atwood continues. "It's him finding himself again, and Colin and I worked together to find the right look for Holt. He comes back in a uniform, and he has a couple show outfits, but mainly he's in work clothes, so it's a very humble sort of costuming, which is a big contrast to the glamorous show costumes on the other side of the coin."
Holt is introduced as the father of the children Milly and Joe Farrier to which as the children are happy to see their father back, the two found out that Holt never saw his children for a long time. Along the way, the circus performers are happy to see Holt back on the grounds the circus is being built. During a conversation with the ringmaster Max Medici, he explains to him that his wife Annie (who is also a circus performer) passed away during the influenza explaining that he wouldn't want to be a show-off in the circus if only Milly would do the trade, just as Max explains that the circus will be bankrupt by July. Telling him to take care of the circus' elephants, Max takes Holt and his family to the stable to a pregnant Mrs. Jumbo who is having a baby. Later at home, Holt tells the children to be practical in order to keep the show going on.
The next day, Joe and Milly wake up Holt, explaining that the elephants need them just as Holt and his children approach an animal handler named Rufus Sorghum to which during a conversation, it is interrupted upon noticing what is wrong with Mrs. Jumbo. Stopping Rufus from hurting Mrs. Jumbo, Holt slaps him to prevent any harm to the elephant to which it is found out that Mrs. Jumbo gave birth to a baby elephant named "Jumbo Junior" (aka "Baby Jumbo") as everyone reacts upon discovering the newborn elephant just as Max gives Holt a deadline to take care of the baby elephant by two weeks. During a conversation with Medici, he gives Holt a fake arm as a replacement of his missing arm (indicating he lost an arm during his last war) as Joe and Milly hurry towards him about Jumbo Junior's tricks the two did, telling the children to leave him alone.
During a circus performance, Holt brings in a large group of elephants into the circus, Jumbo Junior reveals his large ears and they call him "Dumbo" as the audience mocks him in reaction and looks at the broken "Dear Baby Jumbo" sign now reading "Ear Baby Dumbo", just as Holt tells the audience to stop scaring the baby elephant while trying to calm his mother Mrs. Jumbo. Holt tries to stop Rufus from harming Mrs. Jumbo to which Rufus calls her a mad elephant. As Mrs. Jumbo goes on a rampage across the circus, Holt and his children retreat from the mad elephant.
The next day, Holt and his children notice Mrs. Jumbo being taken away from the circus for being a mad elephant last night, separating Dumbo from his mother just as Holt, his children, and the circus performers react to Dumbo being separated. During the circus act where Dumbo is made into a clown, Holt and his children react in shock when Dumbo is about to fall off the collapsing platform just as Joe and Milly get a feather from a dove's cage and gives it to Dumbo so he can fly. The circus act, however, was a success as Dumbo flies across the circus, as everyone reacts in awe, making the show a success.
As Holt cleans Dumbo's stable, Max tells V.A. Vandevere that it is Holt's children who taught Dumbo how to fly; Holt, his children, and the rest of the circus acts travel to the Dreamland amusement park in Arkansas as part of Vandevere's plan. Arriving at Dreamland, Vandevere shows a poster of Holt himself riding on a horse, explaining that he can still ride, despite only having one arm. As Holt's children take care of Dumbo, Vandevere arrives and prepares Colette for an act with Dumbo to practice with help from Holt and his children. Holt feels worried about no nets for Colette to land safely to which Colette decides to start the act right away.
While talking to Vandevere at his office, Holt explains that the elephant Dumbo encountered in Nightmare Island is Mrs. Jumbo, his mother just as Milly and Joe want Dumbo reunited back to his mother but Vandevere refuses. He and Neils walk outside telling Neils to remove Dumbo's mother to avoid distractions to Dumbo. Later, Holt arrives towards Colette who explains that his children should believe in their father. Holt then enters the Wonders of Science attraction finding his daughter Milly just as Milly and her father gaze upon one of the displays.
With the whole troupe fired, Holt, his children, and the circus performers plan to rescue Dumbo by releasing him alongside his mother. Furthermore, Holt decides to help Colette by using his knife to cut open a hole in the tent for Colette and Dumbo to escape. Later while Milly and Joe are surrounded by Neils inside the tent as the fire blocks the exit, Holt riding on his horse comes to the rescue and captures Neils. Furthermore, Dumbo by himself manages to rescue Holt's family and manages to extinguish the fire blocking the exit. Holt and his family manage to escape the circus caught on fire as Dumbo reunites back to his mother by going to the seaport.
When the circus is re-established as "Medici Family Circus" with a new policy to not include wild animals performing, Holt and Colette perform in the re-established circus riding on the horse as Max Medici describes Holt during performance as a future cowboy.
Colin Farrell, Holt's actor, previously starred in the 2013 Disney film, Saving Mr. Banks as P.L. Travers' father.
Chris Pine, Will Smith, Casey Affleck and Bill Hader were all considered for the role of Holt Farrier before Colin Farrell was cast.

Q: Binomial Min-Heap Priority Queue with generic types I am currently implementing Binomial Min-Heap Priority Queue with generic types.
I have given the following binomialminheap.java:
class BinomialMinHeap <K extends Comparable<? super K>, P>
{

    public static class Entry <K, P> {
        private P priority;
        private K key;
        private Node<P, K> node;

        private Entry (K k, P p)
        {
            priority = p;
            key= k;
        }

        public P priority () { return priority; }
        public K key() { return key; }
    }

    private static class Node <K, P> {

        private Entry<K, P> entry;

        private Node<K, P> parent;
    .
        private Node<K, P> child;

        private Node<K, P> sibling;

        private int degree;

        private Node (Entry<K, P> e)
        {
            entry = e;
            e.node = this;
        }

        private P priority ()
        {
            return entry.priority;
        }
    }
}

As you see I have the generic types P and K. The problem here is, I have no idea how to implement the generics types into my binary heap. How do "Entry", "Node" and "BinomialHeap" work together?
I began with following constructor and few methods:
    private Node<P,D> Nodes;
    private int size;

    public BinomialMinHeap()
    {
        Nodes = null;
        size = 0;
    }

    public boolean isEmpty ()
    {
        return Nodes == null;
    }

    public int size()
    {
        return size;
    }

I have to add following methods:
boolean contains (Entry<K, P> e)
Entry<K, P> insert (K k, P p)
boolean changePriority (Entry<K, P> e, P p)
Entry<K, P> minimum ()
Entry<K, P> extractMinimum ()
boolean remove (Entry<K, P> e)

A: Better you first go through some generic algorithm implementations, then you will get an idea about the implementation of generic algorithms. For example following are some generic sorting algorithms.
Heap Sort
Insertion Sort
Selection Sort
Merge Sort
Quick Sort

Home Spirituality To have or not to have expectations?
Some say it's good to have concrete expectations, to know what you want, to set goals, to act and to expect your expectations to be fulfilled. "Know what you want from life and you will get it." This is the old paradigm in which we have lived so far.
Others say we have to move to another paradigm, the opposite. Where expectations means suffering. And so, to get out of suffering, it's important to have no expectations.
Let us live in surrender, enjoy the moment and what life brings us, moment by moment. Let's run through life gracefully, without trying to force our will in any way – this paradigm is saying.
But I do not know if, in a normal level of consciousness, we can live completely beyond expectations in everyday life.
Apart from the moments that each of us is having inside, in alignment with the Divine, in everyday life we are getting stretch between many emotions, situations, events in which we expect things to function in a certain way.
So, for everyday life, I wonder how it would be to balance ourselves between the two perspectives.
Let's have expectations, let us know the direction we are going, but let's release the forms in which we attach to our expectations.
Let's go beyond the rigidity that is telling us "this is the only way I will be happy, this is the only way life is worth living." That only in a certain way will we be able to fully enjoy what we are.
I would say to have expectations, but move them to another space inside of us. The space opened to everything and anything. The space that transforms expectations into possibilities.
The space where you do not run anymore from yourself and stop hiding behind your expectations. The space in which you go beyond the fear that makes you so rigid in your expectations.
Without any expectation, we are like windy leaves, chaotic, with no clarity in what we are and what we do. But with too much attachment to expectations we lose any joy, any spontaneity of life, any adventure and fullness of life.
Let's have balance, therefore, in our expectations. And give them the opportunity to help us become more of what we are.

FRANKIE BLACK FILES
Stone Cold Thriller Series
Harvey Stone – Inside the Mind of a Killer
Posted on October 8, 2018 October 15, 2018 by westonjd
Where did Harvey Stone come from?
The question I'm most often asked, and the question I often struggle to answer. What influenced the characters in the Stone Cold Thriller series?
In these articles, I hope to shed some light on Harvey Stone and the characters that make up the Stone Cold Thriller cast. The articles may answer some questions you had, or they may just provide a little entertainment; a little insight into Harvey's world to add context and flavour to the imaginary world that now runs parallel with my own real world. Yes you read that correct. You might read a Stone Cold story and set the book down with your own thoughts on the story. But every day, I sit at my laptop and am immersed in the Stone Cold world. How messed up must I be?
Harvey's First Steps
When Harvey Stone took his first steps onto paper, he crept into a warehouse in Beckton, East London and watched with awe as his mentor Julios took care of business. From that point onward, Harvey was a mountain shrouded by clouds, emerging piece by piece the further forward I moved, and growing with each awe inspiring step.
'Two men slipped silently through the door of unit twenty-four.'
I had no idea, when I wrote those first words, of what Harvey would become, what he would be like and what would set him apart. That first chapter was written standalone and sat on a file begging to be continued. But I didn't just type 'Chapter 2' and continue with the story; I couldn't, I neededto understand him first. I needed to delve into him and unravel the layers. Chapter was the last chapter to be written in Stone Cold.
Harvey Stone was spawned in a shisha cafe' in Dubai, just me and a friend discussing who he might be. Ideas were tossed up, some fell by the wayside, others stuck and grew, developing into Harvey's layers. It's these layers that make Harvey special in my mind.
On the outside, Harvey is a stone cold killer, born into a life of crime and trained to be the best at what he does. But dig a little deeper and you'll find the second layer tainted with hatred born of his sister's death. which then feeds the next layer that not only seeks retribution but over time begins to enjoy bringing suffering to those who deserve it.
If you met someone at a party or in a bar and they described themselves like I've described Harvey above, you'd probably move on, in fact you'd likely run away very fast. Here's this guy, who is not only trained to kill, but has developed a taste for it, gains satisfaction from killing the right people and enjoys it.
So how come many of Harvey's readers adore him? Who adores a serial killer? If you're questioning yourself now, don't, you're not alone. It's the next layers of Harvey that make him unique. It's those layers of humanity, of kindness and empathy that balance out his ruthless capabilities and make him so real.
A man who spent the first thirty years of his life in a hate filled bubble, delivering death and seeking his own flavour of retribution, finds friendship and love and somehow manages to capture the hearts of readers while at the same time retains an incredible, intangible power that lies beneath the surface, ready to pounce.
The beast.
At the very heart of Harvey Stone, there is good. There's no question of his motives. Combine this good with his stone exterior and savage capabilities and the result is the man who sits beside me every day. He doesn't say much though.
By the time I sat down to write Stone Fall, book three, Harvey was very real. When he jumps from a moving car or slips into the shadows it's isn't me deciding that, Harvey is real enough to be making those decisions by himself.
The further into the series we go (book ten at the time of writing) the easier those decisions become. Harvey has evolved and will continue to evolve. So when you read about Harvey cutting a throat or my favourite, 'Harvey didn't reply,' that's not me, that's Harvey guiding the process.
I hope he becomes as real to you as he is for me.
Okay, so he had to come from somewhere right?
So I wanted to create a character that was different to any other out there. I enjoy reading Jack Reacher, John Milton and many other of the thriller vigilantes, but I wanted something unique and for that to come naturally I needed to write about what I know. I'm not a crime lord, a hit man, nor did I ever belong to a gang, but I did live and work in East London for many years. That warehouse that 'two men slipped silently into...' that was my first job. The cafes, the pubs and the team HQ in Silvertown, all real places with different names.
It was while I was working in London that I met the people that would form the basis of many of the characters in the stories. Men I drank with in pubs who I knew were up to no good, but who wouldn't talk about what they did and I rarely dared to ask, they were the ones to watch for; the serious villains with gold bracelets, fat wallets and fast cars. Men that most men wouldn't dare to nod a hello at; only a select few formed their mysterious circle and even when I got close, I stayed on the perimeter, speaking only when spoken to. That's when I met John Cartwright.
There were also more lighthearted men. Ex-cons who had spent time in prisons and had stories to tell and others who were immersed in a life of crime and would talk freely of their often comical criminal adventures. As a young an impressionable teenager, I soaked up everything they said and laughed myself stupid at their stories.
You can find all these people in the Stone Cold stories in one form or another. There's usually a big villain, serious and smart, and there's usually one or two underlings, these were the comical guys I met who were in and out of prison and filled my evenings with stories of being trapped inside a shop they were robbing until the police found them the next morning, or one guy who whilst serving time, managed to get onto the roof of a prison block and demand pizza and a helicopter. He received neither and was rewarded with a few more months at Her Majesty's pleasure for inciting a riot but came away with a brilliant yet idiotic pub story.
I never met anyone who I could hand on heart say, he is the basis of Harvey Stone. I think that's what makes Harvey so special. the characters and world around him are all a part of my own memories, the men, the places and the humour...
But Harvey, he's home grown. And if he ever came to life, he wouldn't be in a pub shouting his mouth off about a job he did , neither would he be the quiet type planning on having one of his men throw you in the river.
In fact if he was real, you wouldn't even know he was there.
If you're enjoying the Stone Cold Thriller series, leave a comment below, let others know about the series, and look out for the next article featuring the girl who tamed Harvey Stone, Melody Mills.

Winchester debuts revamped website (Corrected)
JASON SIEDZIK
WINCHESTER -- The town's official online presence (townofwinchester.org) received a refresh Tuesday, as the town's long-delayed website redesign went live.
According to Selectman Glenn Albanesius, the new website, hosted by the same company that has handled Winchester's web presence for the last 10 years, is still a work in progress. Albanesius and purchasing director Mark Douglass have been working on the site for several months, and Douglass said the new redesign should make the process of content curation much smoother.
"Glenn was the driving force behind it," Douglass said. "He came up with ideas to make it a lot more informative."
Previously, department heads had to give him whatever updates the departments had. The new website's backend gives town officials the forms to update the site directly. Currently, the site has most of the old website's content, but there are some new wrinkles.
"It's a little more user-friendly," said Douglass. "The website's only going to be as good as everyone keeping it updated."
The new website offers the ability to publish video in addition to other media, and Douglass has already taken advantage of that capability. The first video Douglass posted to the site -- East End Park in 1945 -- ties into another project the purchasing director is working on, which is the renovation of the East End Park fountain.
"It's just to show what we can put out there," Douglass said.
Winchester's loyalty to TCC Web Interactive, their current web host, was rewarded with a lower rate. Douglass estimated that the town only paid a quarter of the usual rate, while Albanesius said they "tried to do some behind-the-scenes work with a shoestring budget."
"We've been such a loyal customer before," Douglass said, "and they wanted us to update."
In the meantime, Douglass said he would welcome input from the community on how to improve the website. The Economic Development Commission, for one, is concurrently working on their own website, and the town will link directly to the site when it is ready. According to Douglass, "we do know it's still going to need some work, we just want comments on it."
"Hopefully, Glenn and I get a committee together and we can get content," Douglass said. "Just be patient, we'll get a lot more info out there."
CORRECTION: The original version of the story had the website listed as townofwinchester.com. It is, in fact, townofwinchester.org.

Then there were three: Trump, Cruz, Rubio [Maybe four: Christie]
[c]2016 Zorek Richards
I think there are only three (maybe four) Republican candidates that are still viable for the Republican nomination going forward after the last debate: Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.
Chris Christie, I will throw in as a wild card because he says a lot of the right things (and often say it very well) but doesn't always practice it and that's the kind of things the Republican Party likes (IMHO). It is unlikely that Christie could defeat Hillary Clinton, though.
Personally, I have been leaning Cruz, but Trump stepped up his game in this debate when it came to actually addressing issues...and his intelligence is underestimated by the people who time after time have said "well, Trump is not going to survive this." Trump's speaking skills are brash and not politically correct and leads to a lot of misinterpretation by a media that doesn't understand that kind of language, and it falls immediate prey to left wing ideologues who don't have a grasp of language nuance of anything to the right of them and are always looking for something to be offended by anyway. . .
Though I still lean Cruz, I am OK with Trump. Rubio is a "maybe" on down the line, but a "maybe" that may be irrelevant after Iowa. I believe that if Trump takes Iowa...he will sail to the nomination. States like New Jersey, Texas will likely not give it to Trump, but I think Florida is a maybe for him and...if Bush and Rubio haven't already dropped out....will have to concede defeat then.
I have an issue with Rand Paul and his loyalties and it kind affirms to me that I was right to write him off months ago. When Paul did his "filibuster" I recollect there was one other Senator who aided him and that person was Ted Cruz. So I think it clarifies his loyalty when he has said what he did on the Cruz "eligibility" claim.
I have much respect for Ben Carson and he was an early favorite. I don't think, however, that his time is now...but he would likely be viable for a future run should he attempt to do that. He has already put out sound bytes suggesting he might only be a one term president or that he might run for a congressional seat. That, to me, is a sign of a lack of commitment to this race.
Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum both hold strong Christian values but not enough, it would appear, for them to grab the evangelicals (like Huckabee did last time around). If they stay in it will be only for sound bytes...but their survival viability is pretty much zero.
Carly Fiorina is the antithesis of Hillary in many ways. That is good on some issues. but I have seen too much of her pushing her way into debates or media time because she is "a woman." I'm for a candidate based more on substance rather then gender (or race for that matter). Fiorina might claim--and rightly claim--that Hillary's campaign is very sexist. But I don't think Fiorina's campaign can escape that label either.
Anyway..this is the way I see it today.

Q: Spark Graphx: Loading a graph from adjacency matrix I have been experimenting with the Graphx APIs of Spark, primarily to learn and have a feel of how to use them. In the process, I have to load an adjacency matrix into a graph. The matrix dataset is here.
From the site, the matrix is described as

A number of employees in a factory was interviewed on a question: "Do you like to work with your co-worker?". Possible answers are 1 for yes and 0 for no. Each employee gave an answer for each other employee thus creating an adjecancy matrix.

So, I have decided to name the employees as English alphabets ("A" onwards). Employees form the nodes of the graph, and their preferences for their co-workers form the edges. I haven't found any straightforward way in Spark to achieve this; my R-programmer friends tell me that it is quite easy to do so, in their world. So, I set upon writing a naive implementation to do so. Here's the code
val conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[*]").setAppName("GraphExploration App")
val spark = SparkSession
  .builder()
  .appName("Spark SQL: beginners exercise")
  .getOrCreate()

    val sc = SparkContext.getOrCreate(conf)

      val df = spark.read.csv("./BlogInputs/sociogram-employees-un.csv").cache

      val allRows = df.toLocalIterator.toIndexedSeq

      type EmployeeVertex = (Long,String)

      val employeesWithNames = (0 until allRows.length).map(i => (i.toLong,((i + 'A').toChar.toString())))

      val columnNames   = (0 until allRows.length).map(i => ("_c" + i)).toIndexedSeq // It is a square matrix; rows == columns

      val edgesAsCollected = (for {
            rowIndex <- 0 until df.count.toInt
            colIndex <- 0 until df.count.toInt
            if (rowIndex != colIndex)
            } yield {

                    if (allRows(rowIndex).fieldIndex(columnNames(colIndex)) == 1)
                        Some(Edge(employeesWithNames(rowIndex)._1,employeesWithNames(colIndex)._1,"Likes"))
                    else
                       None

            }).flatten

       val employeeNodes = sc.parallelize(employeesWithNames)
       val edges = sc.parallelize(edgesAsCollected)

       val employeeGraph = Graph(sc.parallelize(employeesWithNames),edges,"Nobody")

Here is the schema:

This serves my purpose, but I feel there may be a different way. My very little knowledge of Spark's MLLib APIs is perhaps a barrier. Could someone please comment on this? Better even, could someone show me a better yet simple way (by editing my code, if necessary)?

A: I find @DanieldePaula's suggestion acceptable as an answer, for the case at hand:

As the matrix is square, a very large number of rows would imply a very large number of columns, in which case using SparkSQL wouldn't seem optimal in my opinion. I think you can use Spark for this problem if the matrix is converted into a Sparse format, e.g. RDD[(row, col, value)], then it would be very easy to create your vertices and edges.

Thanks, Daniel!

Shaping Narratives: WMEAC Board President Reconnects with Her Culture
October 30, 2020 /0 Comments/in WMEAC, WMEAC News /by Hope O'Dell
WMEAC Board President Lin Bardwell and Mariano Avila, a producer at WGVU Public Media, had been working on a project together for months, a documentary that was a social-cultural look at West Michigan's Native American community. Then one month from the final edit, Bardwell got the opportunity to travel to Standing Rock during the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Bardwell invited Avila to come along and film the experience. According to Avila, Bardwell told him, "You can miss it, but then you'll miss the story."
In a matter of a few days, Avila had scrounged up funding and a crew and was off to Standing Rock with Bardwell.
"I ended up turning what was going to be a half-hour program into a two-hour documentary called "We the 7th" and it ended up being about Standing Rock, the battle against the Dakota Access Pipeline," Bardwell said.
Bardwell said this experience opened up conversations between her and Avila about how he had operated as a journalist within the Native American community.
"How it was much different than how media usually works," Bardwell said. "And then through his conversations with another Shaping Narratives cohort member, we realized that media often tells the story that they tell from their perspective. Very seldom was the perspective of the story told by the subject."
In an attempt to remedy some of the issues they had noticed in how the media chose to portray people of color and how often people of color were not telling their own stories, Bardwell and Avila created Shaping Narratives. Shaping Narratives was a two-part program, created in collaboration with Grand Valley State University, WGVU and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, in which people of color were educated in media production and then given resources to produce their own pilot programs. These programs followed each host as they explored aspects of their respective cultures. Bardwell's pilot, entitled "Ngiiewe" followed her on her journey to reconnect with her culture through the creation of a traditional Native garden.
The first part of Shaping Narratives was a 30-week course on media. It took people of color with no previous media experience and taught them the logistics of media through a social lens. The program was broken up into three modules: decolonizing your story, understanding the technical elements of media from the perspective of social power and using community organizing as a tool for targeted content distribution.
After the course was completed, each individual began producing their own pilot program.
"The coursework really helped us figure out what our show was going to be about," Bardwell said. "What was important to us, who our audience was, who are interested community members who are going to help us on this journey."
In Bardwell's episode, she sought to reconnect with her culture by creating her own traditional garden. During this process, Bardwell ended up skinning a bison, gathering edible plants and was gifted seeds — a crucial step in creating a traditional garden.
As a self-identified urban Native, Bardwell grew up disconnected from the local Native American community. She said after her program aired, many urban Natives reached out to her and said they felt disconnected from their culture as well.
"There are a lot of people who identify as an urban Native who feel less connected and there are others that feel more connected," Bardwell. "It's those ones that feel more connected that you have to seek out, gravitate towards. And we, as urban Natives, have to build our own community. We've got to make sure we've got a space, and we've got programs, and we've got a sense of community, and a sense of community is defined by different populations differently, but Native people, we've got to seek out those spaces to speak and congregate with other Native people."
Throughout the production process of creating her show, Bardwell said trust and relationships were important, as they are critical to the Native American community. This meant Bardwell had to trust the crew she chose to bring into her community.
"So when it came to making the show," Bardwell said. "There's always the pressure of representing my community in a good way, a respectful way. So in order for me to do my work I had to make sure I had a group of people that I respected and I knew the community respected, to be along with me on the journey."
She said that she also wanted to make sure she was navigating through the community in a respectful way, so she relied on community members who stood behind her to help keep her on the right path.
"So it wasn't a project I did," Bardwell said. "It was a project that my community did."
As the producer for Shaping Narratives, Avila said he faced the challenge of keeping each story as authentic to the storyteller's vision as possible.
"That was a challenge, was making sure that while we're all investing our personal blood, sweat and tears into these projects," Avila said. "That we kept in mind that the vision did not belong to us."
Avila said that there are so many places in the production process where a story can diverge from that original vision of the storyteller, and shepherding the story through all those processes was also a challenge. For example, Avila wrote most of the script, but each Shaping Narratives participant had the final say over everything that was scripted and filmed.
"I had to remind myself that it was their script, not mine," he said.
In reminding himself this, Avila said it opened his eyes to the power behind storytelling and the power of the people behind the camera, which are often not members of the communities they are showcasing.
"It's the producer, the director, the writer, the people that are behind the cameras whose faces you'll never see, that are actually the storytellers," Avila said.
Bardwell emphasized the importance of giving people of color the opportunity and resources to tell their own stories because journalists not belonging to those communities may not know what to emphasize or what to omit in a story.
"Everyone has a different relationship with what's in front of them," Bardwell said. "And for people of color to be able to tell their own stories, write their own stories, to create their own TV shows is huge because it's in their voice. It has pieces, important pieces, of their community contained within that writing or that show or the product that anyone who's not from that community just wouldn't be able to put in there."

Leone Battista Alberti (February 1404 - 25th April 1472), Italian painter, poet, linguist, philosopher, cryptographer, musician, architect, and general Renaissance polymath . He was born in Genoa, and died at Rome. His life was described in Giorgio Vasari's Vite. In Italy, his first name is usually spelled Leon.
In art, He is best known for his treatise De pictura (On painting) (1435) which contained the first scientific study of perspective. An Italian translation of De pictura (Della pittura) was published the year following the Latin version and was dedicated to Filippo Brunelleschi. He also wrote works on sculpture, De Statua.
He has been credited with being the actual author of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a strange fantasy novel, whose typographic qualities and illustrations have made it legendary as one of the most beautiful books ever printed.
In music, he was reputed one of the first organists of the age. He held the appointment of canon in the metropolitan church of Florence, and thus had leisure to devote himself to his favourite art.
In architecture he is generally regarded as one of the most devoted to restoring the formal language of classical architecture. At Rome he was employed by Pope Nicholas V in the restoration of the papal palace and of the restoration of the Roman aqueduct of Acqua Vergine, which debouched into a simple basin designed by Alberti, which was swept away later by the Baroque Trevi Fountain. At Mantua he designed the church of Sant'Andrea, and at Rimini the celebrated church of San Francesco. On a commission from the Rucellai family he designed the principal facade of the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, as well as the family palace in the Via della Scala, now known as the Palazzo Strozzi. He wrote an influential work on architecture, De Re Aedificatoria, which had been translated into Italian, French, Spanish and English by the 18th century. The most accurate English translation was by Giacomo Leoni in the early 18th century. In it he proposed new methods of fortification which became the standard defense for towns in the age of gunpowder, and dominated siege planning for hundreds of years.
Alberti was an accomplished cryptographer by the standard of his day, and invented both polyalphabetic ciphers and machine-assisted encryption using his cipher disk. The polyalphabetic cipher was, at least in principle, for it was not properly used for several hundred years, the most signifcant advance in cryptography since before Julius Caesar's time.
He was also interested in the drawing of maps and worked with the great cartographer Toscanelli.

Amid the economic gloom and doom of the past two years, a potential bright spot may have been overlooked. In spite of the impression that U.S. exports are not competitive, are shrinking or are hamstrung by protectionism, the U.S. remains a major player with enormous untapped potential.
Victor Notaro, the senior vice president of PNC Global Treasury Management, believes that the U.S. is doing very well as an exporter, but could be doing better.
Smart Business spoke with Notaro about what's holding companies back and how winning companies have learned to grow internationally.
What proportion of U.S. companies export?
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, only 1 percent of U.S. companies export. On the other hand, the U.S. has about 30 million companies, so even 1 percent of that total is a large number. That small percentage has been able to keep the U.S. in the top tier of all exporters worldwide. When you include high-value services such as professional and technical services, insurance and financial services, the U.S., at $1.5 trillion, tops every other country. And, contrary to popular impression, exports are growing. U.S. goods and services exports in the first two months of 2010 are up 14.8 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Why does such a small percentage of companies export?
First, U.S. companies have enjoyed such a rich home market that they have not needed to export in order to grow. Second is the risk you take on whenever you venture into the unknown. Companies may not be comfortable navigating within other cultures and they are concerned about managing risk, getting timely information, even getting paid.
Certainly, we hear that undervalued currencies in China and other countries make U.S. exports more expensive. And foreign governments often provide low-interest loans and subsidies that put the U.S. at a disadvantage.
But there is so much room for growth and hunger for the innovative products and services that the U.S. creates that companies should not let these issues discourage them.
What is the profile of a typical exporter?
Companies of any size can enter the world market successfully. However, we see more of an export concentration by larger companies. So of total exports, 60 percent is accounted for by the top 500 U.S. companies.
Although large companies dominate, smaller companies — those with fewer than 500 workers — are getting into the game in increasing numbers. Our domestic market is very competitive, robust and innovative. If a company is doing well here, it has what it takes to outpace foreign competitors.
If a company is interested in exporting, how does it get started?
First, gather information on the markets you are considering. This doesn't require a large investment. Trade shows, informal discussions with vendors and even competitors can help you understand how your products might compete abroad.
Second, get as many people as possible involved in the effort. It is particularly important that senior management and key people understand the foreign market.
Third, take advantage of agencies such as the U.S. Commercial Service, a bureau of the Commerce Department that has offices all over the world. Many states have a presence or commercial support in other countries, as well. Industry associations offer different levels of support, but many provide useful information such as changes in the regulatory environment in key countries.
Enlist the support of a financial firm that has a global advisory service that can provide intelligence and advice based on first hand experience. And if you are importing or sourcing abroad, leverage the relationships you have already developed. Many companies are moving from sourcing to selling successfully. Most important, talk to everyone you can — customers, suppliers, even competitors. By asking about their experience, you can pick up a lot of sector-specific information.
What kind of support should companies expect from their bank?
At the very least, you want a bank that understands the full range of financing and settlement options that are available — letters of credit, ExIm Bank facilities, cash management, treasury management for multiple currencies and cross-border transactions. Other important capabilities are foreign exchange and risk mitigation solutions.
On top of that, your bank should be able to provide guidance on local business customs and advice on the creditworthiness of potential trading partners.
Then, look for help in meeting general business challenges in emerging markets. Advisers who have first-person experience in a target country can provide invaluable support as you explore your options.

Vijeo Citect — программное обеспечение уровня HMI/SCADA поддерживающее:
 Чрезвычайно широкий спектр оборудования Schneider Electric, а также контроллеры других производителей ПЛК (используя OPC серверы или собственные нативные драйверы);
 Большую коллекцию символов промышленного оборудования для создания графических экранов;
 Инструмент создания графических экранов называемый Graphics Builder;
 Язык программирования Cicode.

Citect для DOS
Мартин Робертс (Martin Roberts) написал Citect для DOS в 1987 году, как ответ на то, что в это время был достаточно ограниченный выбор программного обеспечения для создания интерфейсов оператора. Citect для DOS состоял из конфигурационной базы данных (в формате dBase), растровой картинки (оригинальный формат файла, с поддержкой 256 цветов) и файла анимации. Пользователь должен был нарисовать схему объекта используя доступный в то время графический пакет Dr Halo и разместить на ней точки анимации (Animation Points) там, где он посчитает нужным. Информация о тегах и их связь с соответствующими адресами программируемых электронных устройств хранилась в базе данных. Ссылаясь на эти теги в точках анимации (информация о том, какая точка анимации ссылается на какой тег, сохранялась в других конфигурационных базах данных), пользователь мог показывать состояние оборудования, например, что оборудование запущено, остановлено или в аварии, и все это происходило в реальном масштабе времени.

Citect для DOS мог связываться с различными программируемыми электронными устройствами через разные последовательные протоколы предлагаемые каждым устройством; связь с некоторыми устройствами осуществлялась непосредственно через последовательный порт (COM-порт), с другими через PC-карты, которые разрабатывались специально для обеспечения связи с целевыми программируемыми электронными устройствами. Были написаны программные драйверы для многих протоколов; возможность подключаться к различным устройствам и возможность написать новые драйверы когда это потребуется — стало основной точкой начала продаж Citect.

Программное обеспечение времени выполнения (runtime) в то время работало на DSI картах. Ввиду нехватки производительности компьютера для работы этого ПО (на то время это были компьютеры на базе 286 и 386 процессоров) в имеющийся ISA слот вставлялся 32-битный сопроцессор для повышения производительности.

Citect для Windows

Версия 1
В начала 90-х мощность компьютеров увеличивается, Microsoft Windows становится популярной, поэтому в 1992 году выходит версия Citect для Microsoft Windows. При этом отпадает необходимость в наличии DSI карт для работы Citect на PC. Конфигурирование как подход остается таким же, как у Citect для DOS, но этот процесс становится более дружественным и интуитивно понятным в версии для Microsoft Windows. Citect для Windows был написан как ответ на запрос компании Argyle Diamonds. Компания первоначально намеревалась использовать систему Honeywell. Но инженеры Argyle Diamonds работающие с этой системой, рассказали о существующих проблемах. Тогда компания Argyle Diamonds выделила 1 миллион долларов на развитие Citect для Windows. По сей день база данных аварийных сигналов называется как «ArgDig» (то есть Argyle Digital) и до сих пор является частью Citect.

Версия 2
В 1993 году на базе Citect для Windows была построена система диспетчеризации процесса транспортировки мелкодисперсной железосодержащей руды на новый завод по её обогащению, который был построен в 7 км от порта Port Hedland (Восточная Австралия), куда руда доставлялась морским транспортом. Завод принадлежал компании BHP Iron Ore. Это была попытка самой крупной инсталляции Citect для Windows в то время. Сitect для Windows версии 1 в этом проекте показала много ограничений, которые у него были. Чтобы устранить эти ограничения была разработана версия 2. Ключевые измерения были сделаны Эндрю Алланом (Andrew Allan), которые касались конфигурирования графики. Эти изменения включали отказ от графического пакета Dr Halo и точек анимации в пользу новой «CTG» (CiTect Graphics) системы. CTG объединял старый BMP-файл и AN-файл в один объектно-ориентированный файл, который давал пользователю возможность работать с использованием нового графического пакета в стиле WYSIWYG. Объем работы, по разработке системы диспетчеризации процесса транспортировки руды, требовал дополнительной функциональности, которой не было в Citect для Windows, но из-за универсальности программного обеспечения (в частности, благодаря использованию Cicode) многие дополнительные задачи были решены.

Версии 3 и 4
Версия 3 Citect для Windows была разработана с целью расширить функциональные возможности, которые в предыдущей версии необходимо было реализовывать на языке программирования Cicode, например, индикацию коммуникационных ошибок с программируемыми электронными устройствами. Более того была существенно улучшена надежность работы версии 3 Citect для Windows, так как версия 2 была немного нестабильной. Версия 4 — это та же самая версия 3, только портированная на 32-битную платформу Windows NT.

Версии 5 и 6
В это время Citect для Windows в Австралии занимала доминирующую долю рынка программного обеспечения для разработки интерфейса оператора для РС компьютеров, но новое программное обеспечение конкурентов догоняло Citect для Windows по своим возможностям и функциональности и набирало популярность. Чтобы оставаться лидером на рынке, Сitect выпускает 5-ю версию своего программного обеспечения, которое, главным образом, содержит новые функциональные возможности направленные на удержание лидерства на рынке. Версия 6 продолжает следовать взятому курсу и уже включает в себя SCADA-подобную функциональность в дополнение к функциональности системы управления, обеспечивающей получение данных с электронных программируемых устройств в реальном масштабе времени. Данная функциональность является составной частью ядра Citect для Windows и в настоящее время.

Версия 7
Версия 7 была выпущена в августе 2007 года и в настоящее время является последней версией имеющей две торговые марки Vijeo Citect и CitectSCADA. Эта первая версия, которая поддерживает операционную систему Windows Vista. Поддержка Windows 7, а также поддержка работы с Pelco Camera была добавлена в 2010 году с выходом версии 7.20.

Round Lake Head-on Crash Leaves One Woman Dead | Spiros Law, P.C.
A 22-year-old Mundelein man faces charges related to a fatal car accident that occurred in Round Lake.
On November 21st, Mark Oelerich was driving north on Cedar Lake Road. At approximately 9:17 p.m., an officer with the Round Lake Police department discovered the head-on crash involving Oelerich and Araceli Villasenor, 24, who was driving south on the same road. Vilasenor and the three children in her vehicle were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where she was pronounced dead at 11:23 p.m.
Oelerich was treated at the same hospital and later released. He was cited for improper lane usage, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, speeding and aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol that resulted in death. Oelerich was arrested upon his release from the hospital and remains in jail on a $1 million bond.
Drunk drivers do more than damage vehicles when there is an accident. If you or a loved one knows someone who has been the victim of a drunk driving accident, call Spiros Law, P.C. at (815) 929-9292 for professional legal representation.
