Ramona Berni i Toldrà (Mollerussa, 3 de juny de 1887 - Barcelona, 22 d'abril de 1968 ) fou una militant anarcosindicalista catalana.

Pertanyia a una família de pagesos humils del Pla d'Urgell. En la dècada de 1910 es va traslladar a Barcelona, on va treballar de teixidora i s'afilià al Sindicat Fabril i Tèxtil de la CNT, on fou una de les principals propagandistes del sindicat juntament amb la seva amiga Pepita Not. El 1918 va conèixer Ricardo Sanz García, futur company de Pepita i també dirigent sindical.

Amb Pepita Not i Ricardo Sanz el 1923 va entrar a formar part del grup Los Solidarios, creat com a defensa contra els pistolers del Sindicat Lliure. També formaren part del grup Buenaventura Durruti, Joan Garcia Oliver, Francisco Ascaso i altres. En aquest grup va desenvolupar tasques d'enllaç i comunicació. Fou detinguda breument per la policia el 28 de febrer de 1924 després de l'assassinat del dirigent de Los Solidarios Gregorio Suberbiela.

Després de la proclamació de la Segona República Espanyola continuà la seva activitat propagandística sindical, participant a diversos mítings de la CNT a Igualada (1931), Lleida i Canet de Mar (1932). Després de la revolta de l'Alt Llobregat es va instal·lar a Manresa (segons algunes fonts el 1934, altres el 1936), on va treballar com a teixidora a la Fàbrica Bertrand i Serra i va viure al passatge Sansa de la mateixa ciutat. Durant la guerra civil espanyola la fàbrica fou col·lectivitzada i va participar en tasques sindicals. La seva darrera aparició pública fou en un míting al Kursaal de Manresa el 1938.

En acabar la guerra civil es va exiliar, potser a França, encara que no consta el seu pas per cap dels camps de concentració francesos. Es desconeix la data de la seva mort.

Can The Internet Be More Resilient To Climate Change? Some Are Banking On It
Data has replaced oil as the world's most valuable resource. But increasingly, our data is stored remotely "in the cloud" and climate change — challenging the resilience of the internet — puts access to our data at risk.
Urban planner Duane Verner learned just how vulnerable our data are in the climate-changing world.
When the COVID-19 pandemic closed his office in Lemont, Illinois, in March 2019, Verner was fortunate to already be working from home.
Unfortunately, what was not working was his internet connection.
"I had horrible issues with reliability with my own internet at my own house," Verner recalled. "We spent countless hours with support people."
Finally, he said, a senior technician was able to diagnose the problem: it was flooding. Unusually heavy winter snow, ice and spring rains disrupted the fiber optic box on his street, which connected Verner and his neighbors to the internet.
Ironically, Verner deals with disaster planning and infrastructure resiliency at the Department of Energy's Argonne National Lab in Illinois, where he manages the group in charge of critical infrastructure protection. That includes the internet.
The global internet infrastructure was constructed in the 1980s and '90s using systems and buildings in places that were designed to withstand the climate of the past. As Verner learned, the climate of the future is already disrupting the present.
"As the climate is changing, we are stressing these systems in ways that have never been stressed before," he said. "There is increased precipitation and flooding in areas that never used to flood. That's where the resilience of the internet would be most susceptible, most vulnerable."
Much of the internet hangs by a thread — fiber-optic thread. A single cable can include hundreds of glass or plastic threads and transmit terabytes of data to the cloud. But while the cables are wrapped in protective coverings, they can still be vulnerable to extreme weather.
Stephen Flynn, founding director of Northeastern University's Global Resilience Institute, said a potential problem is accessing data during a weather disaster.
Many people think of data as streams of ones and zeros "traveling magically through the air," Flynn said. But in reality data are "moving through a physical infrastructure." Flynn said safeguarding vulnerable nodes on the internet is a priority because we're so dependent on the internet for virtually every aspect of our lives.
Today, an estimated 31 billion devices link us to our data in the cloud. By 2025, it is predicted there will be 75 billion.
The internet's redundancy makes it inherently resilient. If part of the network goes down, data can be rerouted. But some nodes along the infrastructure connecting us to our information are potentially vulnerable. Some of these are "mission critical," or what Flynn called "lifeline" internet control systems.
He ticked them off: water, power, telecommunications.
"We really have to make sure that they're able to provide some level of essential function no matter what comes our way," he said. "That's a new mindset we have to really embrace."
A "Mission Critical" System At Seabrook
Natalie Hildt Treat, executive director of the Amesbury, Mass.-based C-10, said her group has already embraced the mindset, because they have to.

C-10 monitors the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, just over the border in New Hampshire. This makes them "the only independent field-monitoring network surrounding a nuclear plant," Treat said.
The group has been pioneering efforts to make the internet more resilient against climate change by focusing on the unique network of monitoring stations around the power plant.
C-10 was formed in the 1990s by citizen activists living within 10 miles of the Seabrook plant.

In the early days, volunteers would drive to monitoring sites and collect floppy disks full of data measuring radiation, wind speed and direction. Such data can be critical during a nuclear disaster: During the Fukushima crisis, residents were evacuated into the path of the radiation because there was no independent method for tracking the wind.
Today, C-10 collects data in real time, from 18 secret locations, linked by the internet.
"We need uninterrupted power supply, as well as internet, to keep operating," Treat explained. "With the impacts of climate change and more flooding and storms, it's all the more important to have eyes and ears on the safety of the plant."

In October 2019, the day before Treat was scheduled to meet with state officials and ask for funds to make C-10's monitoring network climate-resilient, a fierce storm lashed the coastline.
"We had one of these bomb cyclone weather events, and I believe six of our stations were knocked out — some of them maybe for a few days until Mike could get them all up and running," she said. "That was a wake-up call."
The "Mike" she referred to is Michael Mansir, C-10's network administrator, who recently pointed to a white dot on a computer at the heart of the organization's network in Amesbury. The dot represents the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. Surrounding it are 18 small circles — C-10's remote monitoring stations measuring beta and gamma radiation and the wind.
Network administrator Mike Mansir, surrounded by monitoring equipment at C-10's office in Amesbury. (Robin Lubbock/WBUR)
Mansir said maintaining communication and collecting the data is mission critical.
"We have lost internet at various locations, and I actually have two stations that went down last night that I have to troubleshoot," he said. "I'm assuming there's a network issue."
C-10 is seeking support from the state and local donors to make its detection network resilient to climate change. To show where it might be installed, Mansir entered an old mill building in Amesbury and climbed three flights of stairs, leading up to one of the Seabrook monitoring stations.
"Now, this might be an ideal location for the battery backup unit," he said, approaching a door opening onto the roof. He cautioned against getting too close to the roof's edge — "it's a little scary up here sometimes."
From the roof an antenna was visible on Powwow Hill — the highest spot in the area.
"This is our radiation probe and up here is our anemometer," he said, pointing to the instruments mounted to the rooftop.

C-10's plan is to climate-proof the Seabrook monitoring stations using radio transmitters powered by solar panels and backed up by batteries. The data would be sent to the hilltop tower and back to headquarters wirelessly.
More from WBUR
The solution was designed by David Theodore, cofounder of Cohasset-based Climate Resilient Internet.
"Somebody had to solve this problem where the digital age is meeting the fury of climate change," Theodore said. "It's not even new technology."
Back in the 1950s, '60s and '70s radio waves were used to carry telephone calls across country, and Theodore was involved with setting up some early wireless internet networks across Boston and Cambridge.
Theodore's solution to make the internet resilient to climate change will use this old technology in a new way. He said wireless backup of data, stored remotely in the cloud, could bypass the physical internet links that climate change could potentially disrupt.

"If Boston lost internet and cloud access for weeks there would be billions of dollars in losses, and it would be hard to come back from that," he said.
In 2012, Superstorm Sandy knocked out internet in parts of lower Manhattan and Wall Street, and it took days to restore service to some sites. Hurricane Maria took out parts of Puerto Rico's internet for months.
Northeastern's Stephen Flynn said we should build out the internet with the expectation that climate change will disrupt it.
"So you actually have in the design the means to essentially get it back up and running again, and those are design things that we have the engineering and science know-how to do," he said. "The market, though, hasn't rewarded us the investment to do that."
The Department of Energy's Argonne National Lab has teamed up with internet service provider AT&T to use government supercomputers and climate change models to predict and map future internet vulnerabilities globally and locally. The first phase focuses on Ashburn, Virginia, where 70% of the world's internet traffic flows.
"We're all vulnerable," said Argonne's Duane Verner. "We all need to think about how we can have backups within our own houses and then building out from there."
We can hope for the best but the rapidly changing climate requires us to prepare for the worst.

It is testing time for PM of the United Kingdom
It is always difficult to make any decision in a country where the leader has no support from his or her own people ("May's push for a fourth vote won't save her for long," May 17, Gulf Today).
It is testing time for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Theresa May as she is struggling with support from house members.
During the darkest days of the Brexit crisis, Theresa May's allies kept their spirits up by describing her "Bee Gees strategy" — a reference to the group's hit "Stayin' Alive". This goal is what lies behind Tuesday night's announcement that MPs will hold a fourth vote on May's Brexit deal in early June, when she tables the withdrawal agreement bill.
It will be her last stand. If she loses the second reading vote, she will have nowhere to go but to walk out of No 10's heavy black door for good. Three immediate pressures led to May deciding on one last desperate roll of the dice.
On Thursday she meets leaders of the 1922 Committee of Tory MPs to answer their call for a firm departure timetable. Tabling the bill will buy her a few more weeks.
Secondly, May came under pressure at Tuesday's longer than expected cabinet meeting to "do something" to answer the accurate charge that we have a zombie government and parliament.
Thirdly, May hopes that at least trying to leave the EU will stem Tory losses at next week's European parliament elections. I doubt it will. Nigel Farage is on the rampage. His new Brexit Party will surely inflict grievous bodily harm on a governing "Brexit party" that has woefully failed to deliver it. No need for nuance there, which is just how Farage likes it.
To deal with UK's biggest Brexit issue Theresa May should take steps according to the wishes of the United Kingdom's people.
Saleem Shahzad
Theresa May Brexit
Don't be fooled by the latest extension, a no-deal Brexit could be more likely than ever
Theresa May defended the decision to leave without a deal. She said it was the only way to implement the 2016 referendum.
May's Brexit strategy has put MPs in danger and wasted billions, now Britain deserves a real leader
When the prime minister applied for and got a second extension to the Article 50 period, she did so because she wanted to save the country from the disastrous consequences of leaving the EU without a deal. She did the right thing, putting the country first.
Leave.EU's latest scandal shows digital propaganda is out of control, election rules need modernisation
Elections can be energising, they can be bruising, and over the past few years the public have been to the ballot box far more often than expected.
There's another Brexit option May isn't talking about
Cut through all the background noise and the facile soundbites, and Theresa May has allowed herself a binary choice between either a customs union or a no-deal Brexit. That amounts to acting either in the least bad interests of the country or, in a desperate bid to keep the Conservative Party intact, knowingly acting in its very worst.

Sequestrated population in Tindouf camps, the first to suffer of the Sahara conflict ( jeune afrique)
The sequestrated population in Tindouf camps inside the Algerian territory are the first to suffer of the Sahara conflict , writes the weekly magazine "jeune afrique" in its latest edition.
Asserting that the Polisario separatists have never accepted an international census , the magazine notes that these populations live for almost 40 years in a precarious conditions under the leadership of " eleven times re-elected leader , of which the clock has stopped in the seventies, long before the wind of human rights blows ".
The drift of several young sequestrated in these camps, between illegal immigration towards Europe and the jihadist attempt to Sahel region, is the sign of despair; do not claim the independence, but the respect and recognition of their specificity, which is guaranteed by the autonomy proposal in the Sahara".
Recalling that the referendum option was qualified "unrealistic" by the former special envoy of the UN , Peter Van Valsum , the magazine indicates that Morocco has handed over in 2007 an autonomy plan " courageous, open and modular" which registers the Sahara future in the framework of decentralization and the democratic openness of the kingdom.
The publication mentions furthermore the closure of the land borders between Morocco and Algeria despite the " repeated proposals of the kingdom to open them" , indicating the commitment of his Majesty the King to follow the process of autonomy , being increasingly seen by the international community as " the only viable solution" to the Sahara conflict.

Lincoln Aviator Overview:
2020 vs 2021: What's the Difference?
Changes made to the Aviator in 2021 are almost purely cosmetic. There are three new paint colors on the options list, known as Ocean Drive Blue, Asher Grey, and Flight Blue. For a sophisticated look, buyers can also check out the new Monochromatic Appearance Package that Lincoln is offering for the Aviator in 2021.
A few notable features are added this year, including a moonroof for the Reserve model. Available for the Reserve and standard for the Black Label Grand Touring, and Black Label Grand Touring models are heated and ventilated front seats. Finally, the top Black Label models get fancy soft-close doors.
What Do the Various Trim Levels Offer?
Lincoln prides itself on being a luxury brand, which is why all five 2021 Aviator models are very well equipped. The appropriately named Standard model has LED headlights, a power liftgate, and roof rails. For the cabin, the Aviator Standard has a 10.3-inch touchscreen, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and an integrated navigation system.
The Reserve trim is considerably more sophisticated, coming standard with an adaptive suspension and premium leather upholstery. Other highlights include an upgrade to four-zone climate control, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting. The Black Label model goes further, giving drivers standard all-wheel drive, a heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated second-row seats.
Grand Touring models of the 2021 Aviator have a more powerful hybrid powertrain. They also have a panoramic sunroof. As for the Black Label Grand Touring, it comes with nearly every feature available for the Aviator.
Which Trim is Right for Me?
Grand Touring and Black Label models of the Aviator are impressive but also pricey. On the other hand, the Standard model is lacking a few of the creature comforts people look for in a luxury SUV. As a result, the Reserve trim is the right way to go for a wide variety of drivers.
What Kind of Technology Does it Have?
The entry-level model of the 2021 Aviator is equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and a 10-speaker audio system. The popular Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration features are included as well. Optional features include more USB ports and a rear-seat entertainment system. If buyers are after a more immersive music-listening experience, Revel audio systems with either 14 or 28 speakers are available as well.
How Does It Perform?
Most models of the 2021 Aviator are utilizing a turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine for their power. As a result, they create a satisfying 400-horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Models with the Grand Touring label use that same engine along with an electric motor, allowing them to create 494-horsepower and a hearty 630 lb-ft of torque. Both versions of the powertrain pair with a ten-speed automatic transmission.
Both the Standard and Reserve models come with rear-wheel drive. They can also be upgraded to an all-wheel drive. The remaining models all have all-wheel drive exclusively. Any trim of the 2021 Aviator models has a smooth ride. For an even more luxurious experience, the available adaptive suspension is the way to go.
Is It Safe and Reliable?
The 2021 Lincoln Aviator performed well in its safety tests. From the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it received five out of five stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gave the SUV the highest possible score in all six categories it was tested.
Automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert are all standard features for the 2021 Aviator. For select 2021 Aviator models, features like evasive steering assist, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and park assist are also included.
When evaluated by J.D. Power, the 2021 Aviator was given a predicted reliability score of 3.5 out of five stars. This above-average score is a nice selling point for the SUV, which also comes with a slightly longer than average warranty.
What's the Interior Like?
This three-row SUV offering from Lincoln can seat six or seven. For the most part, the interior is as comfortable and upscale as one would expect from this brand. A few critics have pointed out that the optional second-row captain's chairs are too narrow to be truly comfortable.
Heated and power-adjustable front seats are standard. Optional comfort features for the Aviator include impressive options like ventilated and massaging front seats, along with a heated and power-adjustable steering wheel. Genuine leather upholstery is available as well.
Cargo space is average for the midsize luxury SUV class. Behind the third-row, there are 18.3 cubic feet. This is enough room for the average grocery shopping trip, but not much more. The maximum cargo capacity is 77.7 cubic feet.
What are the Alternatives to this Model?
Many people who look at Lincoln vehicles also consider Mercedes-Benz. Their midsize three-row offering is the GLE. This is an excellent choice in many regards, offering a sophisticated cabin and fuel efficiency that the Aviator's standard engine cannot match. On the flip side, the GLE base engine is far less powerful than the one found in the Aviator.
The Audi Q7 is a popular choice. It is loaded with standard equipment and has a more affordable starting price. The Aviator does have more space for cargo and third-row passengers, however. Buyers after a three-row luxury SUV may also consider the Lexus RX 450hL and Cadillac XT6.

Disney Reveals Official 'Moana' & 'Zootopia' Logos at CinemaCon
in Disney, Live Action, The Latest Animation News
At the 2015 CinemaCon, Disney revealed its upcoming slate of live-action and animated films, which also gave us our first official look at the new Zootopia and Moana logos. The above image (courtesy of ComicBook.com) shows that the title treatments for Zootopia and Moana have been updated.
Zootopia Logo
The old Zootopia logo was an ombré red and orange with subtle diagonal stripes. The new logo has an entirely new color scheme of green and teal ombré. The font has also changed as well. You can see the change below:
Moana Logo
While there were fan-made logos for Moana popping up all over the Internet for a while, Disney never released an official logo until CinemaCon (despite the fake logo and the new official logo's striking similarities). The Moana logo has a monotone tan coloring. The font is a handwritten style script, with the "o" taking on the swirl motif we've seen in the concept art. This logo has a similar feel to the Brave logo.
While the release of these logos is not a huge update, it's an update nonetheless! Personally, I love the new Zootopia logo, as it feels fresh and modern (and those colors are simply divine!). That being said, the old logo wasn't bad in the first place either. And finally getting an official Moana logo is great as well.
Zootopia will be released in theaters on March 4, 2016. Moana hits theaters November 23, 2016.
What do you think of the new Zootopia and Moana logos?
[UPDATE 4/27/15 10:45PM PST] A high quality version of the French Zootopia logo was revealed by David Gilson, an illustrator who has done some work for Disney. It's nearly the same as the US logo, except for swapping the "a" with an "e" for Zootopie. Check it out below.

News Release - December 1, 2021
Curie Therapeutics Raises $75 Million Financing to Further its Mission of Transforming Cancer Care with Precision Radiopharmaceuticals
Incubated for 18 months by a founding syndicate comprised of Atlas Venture, Access Biotechnology, and RA Capital Management
Fully integrated R&D team that combines ligand research & development, radiopharmaceutical and biotech company building expertise
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 1, 2021 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- Curie Therapeutics Inc. ("Curie"), a biotechnology company incubated by Atlas Ventures, Access Biotechnology and RA Capital Management, today announced a Series A investment of $75 million by its founding syndicate to continue the development of its multimodal pipeline of precision radiopharmaceuticals to a broad range of high unmet need solid tumors.
Commenting on the emergence of Curie from stealth, Dr. Simon Read, Curie Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We envision a world where cancer care is transformed by precision radiopharmaceuticals and a future in which these drugs are increasingly integrated into mainstream treatment."
He added, "We founded Curie to maximize the potential of targeted radiopharmaceuticals for frank tumor ablation, as well as to harness the growing understanding of how radiobiology of targeted therapies can favorably modulate the tumor microenvironment as part of a rational sequence of care. Our team is unique. We have bought together seasoned leaders from pharmaceutical biotech R&D with radiobiology and radiochemistry experts drawn from both industry and academia. Backed by a syndicate of three of the foremost incubating venture firms, we have a pipeline underway and key radionuclide supply agreements for both alpha and beta radionuclide strategies to support our vision."
Dr. Dan Becker, Partner at Access Biotechnology and a member of Curie's Board of Directors (BoD), said "Radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as potent, safe, and commercially viable options for cancer patients. While late-stage therapeutic radiopharmaceutical pipelines are predominantly focused on metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors, we see a much broader opportunity to drug a broad spectrum of targets with our high therapeutic index, precision radiopharmaceuticals."
Dr. Kevin Bitterman, Partner at Atlas Ventures and a member of Curie's BoD said, "All three syndicate members showed an early interest in the radiopharmaceutical space. We have been incubating Curie for 18 months with a focus on building a fully integrated company in which both peptidic and non-peptidic ligand R&D, radiochemistry, CMC and clinical translation can occur under one roof."
Dr. Josh Resnick, Managing Director of RA Capital Management and a member of Curie's BoD, added, "This founding team has the ligand discovery breadth, company formation experience, and radiobiology and CMC experience required to build the leading precision radiopharmaceutical company. We are delighted to co-lead the series A round with Access Biotechnology and Atlas Venture."
Curie Management and Board of Directors
Curie's management includes biotech leaders with broad experience across peptide discovery and development, radiochemistry, and in building top tier clinical stage peptide, radiopharmaceutical, and platform companies, including founder Simon Read, Ph.D. as CEO (former CSO of Ra Pharma, former Entrepreneur in Residence at Atlas Venture), Alonso Ricardo, Ph.D. as CSO (former Chief Technology Officer of Ra Pharma, former Entrepreneur in Residence at RA Capital Management), and Sandy Mong, M.D. as SVP of Business Development and Operations (former VP of Business Development and Operations of BridgeBio Pharma, former Entrepreneur in Residence at Atlas Venture). The broader team includes ligand discovery, radiopharmacology, radiochemistry talent from public and private peptide companies, radiopharmaceutical companies, as well as academia.

Creative Assembly can hear you scream.
Total War developer Creative Assembly is making a game based on the Alien franchise.
At a press event at Creative Assembly's Horsham, West Sussex base this morning the developer revealed it is hiring for the project, which it described as a "console core game".
Launch platforms are yet to be announced.
160 people currently work at CA in Horsham. While the studio won't reveal how many people are currently working on the Alien game, it did say it wants to staff up to 200 within a year.
Indeed development has already begun, although CA refused to divulge more information. The game will not be shown at the E3 trade show next month, either.
Gearbox's Aliens game, Colonial Marines, is entirely separate and not linked in any way to CA's effort.
SEGA last made use of its Alien license in February last year with first-person shooter Aliens vs. Predator.
Creative Assembly's last game was March 2011's Total War: Shogun 2, recipient of a 9/10 Eurogamer review score.

The Rube Is On

The Art of Rube Goldberg
Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, New York
Rube Goldberg defied the odds. He was a highly paid and award-winning artist at a time most such practitioners were living hand to mouth. He collapsed the cavernous divide between illustrative or commercial art and fine art with a popular, albeit wildly witty vision. He bridged the gap between engineering and fine art in a way that was both compelling and entertaining to his audience, by inventing compellingly impractical machines to complete mundane tasks. And he eventually became a spokesperson for a number of products such as Luck Strike Cigarettes (Goldberg only smoked cigars) and Old Angus scotch whiskey.
Goldberg created some 50,000 works, mostly on paper that were drawn or painted with black ink. You don't often hear of such a staggering output of work. Myself, I can only think of Picasso, who too amassed such a number, which included paintings, sculptures, collages, prints, ceramics and textiles. And it is also important to note that their eras overlapped: Picasso 1881-1973, Goldberg 1883-1970, while both were the greatest, most recognizable figures of their related fields.

Picasso's legacy can be found in every important museum in the world, or in any volume of Modern Art. Goldberg's legacy lives largely in the memories and minds of artists, engineers and inventors, people who see the beauty in belaboring a simple task creatively, by employing endless ingenuity. In fact, Rube Goldberg is listed as an adjective in Miriam-Webster's Dictionary, and there is something called the Rube Goldberg Machine Contest, a national competition that occurs every year. In it, six finalists from various colleges and universities compete as they conceive of, design and build machines that turn an everyday task into dozens of otherwise frivolous actions that, when occurring in a crazy continuum of wiggles, waves and whirligigs, completes a uncomplicated task that would normally take a person one or two trouble-free movements or moments to achieve.
My renewed enthusiasm in Rube Goldberg's legacy all comes from a recent talk and exhibition I attended at the Queens Museum, which was aptly titled The Art of Rube Goldberg. Conceived of by artist Creighton Michael, curated by the Senior Curator of the Aspen Art Museum, Max Weintraub, and toured by International Arts & Artists, The Art of Rube Goldberg stands as a glowing reminder of just how influential Goldberg was in his day. Like some, I am most familiar with his mesmerizing machines, and was pleased to learn of and see more of his voluminous cartoons and strips that had a distinctive, modern (for its time) and very humorous look at social behavior, human and personified animal mannerisms and all the trials and tendencies we project in terms of class, gender, religion and most importantly relaxation.

The talk consisted of two presentations. The first was by Jennifer George (Fashion Designer and the artist's granddaughter, and author of the book, The Art of Rube Goldberg), and Charles Kochman (editorial director of Abrams ComicArts and editor of the book). Both highlighted Goldberg's education as an engineer, his life as a father and grandfather, and his continued creative influences, which are far-reaching, sometimes anecdotal, and always cross-cultural. The second overview of Goldberg was given by Creighton Michael, with his thoughts of Goldberg's relationship to key art historical figures, pointing to Da Vinci's caricatures that focused on harsh, distorted facial features of everyday people; and Peter Bruegel the Elder's powerful storytelling ability.
Looking forward from Goldberg's influences, I noticed one link between he and Robert Crumb. Not so much in the content, of course, but more so in the absurd levels of social interactions. Crumb does credit Goldberg, among many others of those early cartoonists as influences, and I believe you can see it most easily in works from the incredibly popular, and always stinging and zinging retorts in his Foolish Questions series (1909-1934), or in the wildly reactive fantastical fashion fiasco in Men in Hats at Theater (1926).

Then there are the many thousands of cartoons Goldberg created that truly defined an awkward era, revealing a magical mindset that only he could portray. In addition, Goldberg was awarded a Pulitzer in 1948 for his political cartoons, some of which are in the exhibition. The most powerful and timeless work is Jews and Arabs (1947), which depicts two lone figures crossing an endless dessert in parallel paths that one must assume have been forged by generation after generation. The irony here is they are headed in the same direction, unaware of each other's presence despite their relatively close proximity. Profoundly, Goldberg is pointing out both the differences and similarities of the two peoples traveling roads that unfortunately, may never meet.
Goldberg also had a postage stamp created in his honor; a color version of one of his most familiar works, Professor Butts and His Self-Operating Napkin (1931). The stamp was issued in 1995, while the original work can be credited in influencing Charlie Chaplin's great film Modern Times (1936), which features a self-operating napkin machine.

And those machines, oh those machines. They were, and still are transfixing to me, especially the ones that are considered "wearable". For instance, Professor Invention Drawing (An Idea to Keep you from Forgetting Your Wife's Letter) (1930) shows a man who is just about to pass a letter box, as a device he is wearing strapped to his waist goes through over a dozen key points or movements to remind him to mail a letter his wife gave him. What really rings true here is the nod to human nature, how we tend to daydream. Getting lost in one's thoughts, how one forgets what they set out to do as they move from place to place with intended goals, big and small is something anyone can relate to.
Goldberg continues to turn minutia into magic with Professor Butts Invention Drawing (Postage Stamps) (1929) that, using various sounds in a mix of progressively bizarre mechanisms, places a moistened stamp on a letter. In this instance, as Creighton Michael pointed out in his presentation, Goldberg utilizes diagonal forces to enhance the movements, while the contrasting dark sides of the two desks helps to both move the eye and create depth.

The Art of Rube Goldberg at the Queens Museum, which also includes film shorts produced by Goldberg, videos of the influences of Goldberg, games, functional objects, books, strips, play money, advertisements, illustrated articles, and archival film clips, and photographs runs through February 9th, 2020. Be sure to see it, and the other wonderful exhibitions the museum offers.

I took this last weekend when I decided to go for a walk around my neighborhood and test out the 55-300mm AF-S VR G lens I purchased with my camera. The point was to familiarize myself with the camera, the optics, and their combined capabilities before I take them out for some heavier duty shooting this July 4th. I composed this shot's predecessor mainly to see how tight a depth of field I could manage at 300mm, without really thinking of the artistic potential it might have. The setting was a neighbor's lawn, which was slightly curved as it was on a hill. I crouched down so that a cluster of dandelions would be stand out over the rest of the lawn and zoomed all the way in. I didn't even bother taking a particularly stable stance, I just hoped the abundance of daylight and vibration reduction system on the lens would make things work. After the first shot, I realized I just had to take another shot (or five).
To get such a dark background, I maneuvered around so that a Japanese maple tree was situated behind the scene. With a little post processing by adjusting levels, I could easily crush the blacks to make the dandelion stand out even further than just by depth of field alone. I took about five shots, refocusing each time so that I could guarantee that one shot would be perfectly focused. With the given aperture and zoom, being off by even a few inches would defeat the entire composition of the picture.
What I like to take away from this picture is that you never know where your next favorite piece will come from. Almost anything can be turned into a creative piece with enough thought and luck. You just have to keep your eyes open.


This stimulating discussion of a rapidly developing field is divided into two parts. The first features tutorials in textbook style providing self-contained introductions to the various areas relevant to atom chip research.
Part II contains research reviews that provide an integrated account of the current state in an active area of research where atom chips are employed, and explore possible routes of future progress. Depending on the subject, the length of the review and the relative weight of the 'review' and 'outlook' parts vary, since the authors include their own personal view and style in their accounts.
and professor of physics at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. After studies in Bonn and Munich, he entered the field of ultracold atoms with a PhD at the E.N.S. in Paris. He then joined the team of T. W. Hänsch in Munich and started developing what is now known as atom chips. Having obtained a European Young Investigator Award (EURYI) and a Chaire d'Excellence of the French Government, he crossed borders once again and took up his current position in Paris in 2004. His group currently explores the applications of atom chips in quantum information and precision metrology.

Infusionsoft and Memberium together make a great combination for building membership sites. Here's something you are likely to want to do on your membership site.
It's often a good idea to display a list of articles (blog posts) on a page to all visitors of a page. Then when people who have not bought into the membership click to see the full articles, you send them to a sales page. If someone clicked into the content, the assumption is they found the headline and the except interesting enough to click. So why not go ahead and try to sell them.
In this Infusionsoft and Memberium tutorial, I review how to protect content in exactly this way using Memberium shortcodes. It also demonstrates how to use the Memberium Partials feature to store content stubs to be inserts in other parts of your site.

5 Times Tom Hiddleston Posted a Selfless Selfie to Raise Awareness For a Worthy Cause
By Martha Sorren
Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
In between supporting feminism and being devilishly handsome, actor Tom Hiddleston also raises awareness for causes like Unicef and Greenpeace. Perhaps in acknowledging the effect his face has on people, he's taken to posting selfies and then including information that will lead fans to get engaged with the causes he supports. Monday morning we were treated to a picture of Tom Hiddleston's face in honor of the Wake Up Call campaign to support children in Syria. Because of the state of his messy hair, I'm going to assume that in the spirit of the Wake Up Call, the picture Hiddleston posted is a #IWokeUpLikeThis selfie.
As with most of his pictures, he looks adorable and it already has over 4,000 retweets. That's the power of Hiddleston's face and it's nice to see him put it to good use. He's basically taking selfies to enact change and that's kind of a cool idea.
When the Ice Bucket Challenge first became popular many claimed that it would do nothing for the actual charity to have celebrities dousing themselves in ice water. But it actually raised about $115 million. So maybe at first glance to some it could seem vain for Hiddles to use selfies to spread the word about his charities, but even if only a fraction of the thousands of people who favorited and retweeted donate — that's still worth something.
He doesn't often post on Twitter, but these days when Hiddleston does, it's usually in support of a good cause. And if his face is going to help spread that message than I'm all for it, and I'm sure his fans are, too. Here are just a few of his selfies for change that he's posted over the last few months:
PROTECTING SYRIAN CHILDREN
Look at this man. Adorable and charitable. It's too much.
JOINING EMMA WATSON'S HEFORSHE CAMPAIGN
He was one of the first to do so.
SAVING THE POLAR ICE CAPS
FULFILLING A DYING CANCER PATIENT'S WISH
The CapForStrat campaign was a really sweet one where all the Avengers actors rallied to send their love to a UK journalist's dying father whose last wish was to see Captain America 2.
BONUS: UNICEF UK
Here's one of the first selfies he took and he used it to support Unicef UK prior to his trip to Africa.
It's hard to believe it's possible for me to like Tom Hiddleston more than I already do, but seeing him post selfies for a purpose just reaffirms why this man is beloved by so many.

It takes time and practice to find the perfect makeup look for you, and it's totally normal to make some (or a lot of!) mistakes along the way. They are how you grow and get better, so don't be afraid to be experimental with your beauty look. However, some of the most common makeup mistakes are completely avoidable, so I thought I'd round up some of the ones I come across most often. Starting with foundation and concealer in my 'skin' instalment of the series, here are some beauty fails you can easily avoid, if you follow my tips.
If you have applied a moisturiser that is too heavy for your skin the products you have used will move, for example Embryolisse is a well-loved moisturiser by makeup artists but I personally think that it is too heavy for most skin types.
I would opt for something like Hydra Floral Anti-Pollution Hydrating Rich Cream, Sarah Chapman Dynamic Defence SPF 15 Moisturiser, My Clarins RE-BOOST Refreshing Hydrating Cream or Alessandra for Primark Maximum Moisture: Moisture-Locking Everyday Moisturiser.
…Which leads me on to the next point. Don't over-moisturise your skin, either! If you layer on too much moisturising product before your makeup, your foundation and concealer will sit on top of your skin rather than blending in, giving a less-than-flawless finish. Your pre-makeup skincare routine should be different from your indulgent evening one.
Find a spot that is well-lit with natural light to do your makeup each day, If this isn't possible then you need to just make sure you have an even light with no heavy shadows.
Speaking of blending, make sure you are doing it! Whether you prefer to work with foundation brushes or your hands, it's amazing how many people apply their foundation up to their jawline and stop there without blending down into their neck. Even the most perfectly matched colour tone will look out of place if there's a hard line where it stops and your skin starts. The same goes for blending your contour stick or powder in, you shouldn't have any lines visible after you finish blending.
When it comes to concealer, be sparing. I see too many people using way too much concealer under their eyes, this will instantly age you and the makeup will look too heavy. Remember you should try to avoid products that are too dry unless you are using to cover a blemish then you would opt for something heavier in pigment and drier in texture. Make a small line of dots of concealer on dark circles and carefully blend product in to lighten shadows and hide imperfections.
If you're opting for a glowing skin finish, you can mix a glow into foundation or add some extra highlight onto the bridge of the nose and high points of the cheek bones.
Follow these tips and you'll have a flawless skin finish, every time! Stay tuned for my future posts on the biggest mistakes when it comes to lips and eyes, too.

Mats Ulf Stefan Björlin (21 May 1933 – 23 October 1993) was a Swedish composer and conductor. Bjorlin was known for being one of the most active opera composers in the 20th century.

Björlin was born in Stockholm in 1933.  He studied music with conductor Igor Markevitch in Salzburg, Austria at age 19 and later continued his studies at the Conservatoire de Paris, with teacher Nadia Boulanger. After completing his military service, he worked at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm and at the Malmö College of Music. From 1962, he was employed as musical producer at Sveriges Radio and wrote music for several movies and television productions, including the series of films and TV series about the children on the island Saltkråkan (Seacrow Island), based on Astrid Lindgren's scripts.

He also worked as music director for many years under Ingmar Bergman at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm.  Bjorlin came to the United States in 1977.  He served as guest conductor for the London Symphony and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

He worked with Evert Taube, his neighbor from a very young age. Later, together with Sven-Bertil Taube, he also produced a number of recordings of songs by Carl Michael Bellman, Evert Taube and Ulf Peder Olrog. He conducted several recordings of orchestral music by fellow Swedes Johan Helmich Roman and Franz Berwald.

During the last years before his death, he worked in Florida mostly, where he was conductor of the Greater Palm Beach Symphony (since 1987) and the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra. He had composed important work such as the "Musical Portrait of Raoul Wallenberg" in the years before his passing and several operas. He was known to be the most active opera composer in the world in the 20th century.

In his days he recorded several albums for the EMI label. He died in Palm Beach, Florida at the age of 60. The cause was leukemia.

Björlin received among other prizes the Fritz Gustaf Grafström Prize in 1961 and shared the Evert Taube Prize with Sven-Bertil Taube in 1975. He received the Swedish Music Achievement prize,  In 1980, he received the 'Golden key' to the city of Newport, Rhode Island for his musical achievements and for bringing culture to their town. The 7th (?) of September was declared 'Maestro Ulf Bjorlin Day' by the Mayor of Newport.

He is the father of actress Nadia Bjorlin and musicians Ulf Bjorlin Jr., and Jean-Paul Bjorlin. Björlin also has two other sons, Henrik Björlin and Fredrik Björlin.

At the time of his passing, it was noted that he was survived by his wife, Fary; three daughters: Nadia, of Palm Beach, Katja Salen of Stockholm, and Kamilla Pariser of Marblehead, Mass.; three sons: Ulf Jr and Jean-Paul, both of Palm Beach, and Kaj, of Stockholm; two brothers, and two grandchildren.

Q: preview merges pdf and result in huge file size? I used preview to merge 5 pdf files, of total size of 800k. All pdf have no graphs. However the resulting file size is 10MB...
I then tried Acrobat, under similar simple method I got a combined pdf of 750kb.
So why is preview so inefficient? Or Have I just misconfigured sth.?

A: I can't really answer as to why it's so inefficient, but i've had the same problem, and i got around it by using free Quartz filters from Jerome Colas.
This post on the Apple discussion boards has the details, but the link is broken, an extra * on the end breaks it, it should be https://public.me.com/jcolas.
Download, unzip, and add the "Filters" folder to your Library folder.
To use, open a PDF in Preview, click File > Save As, then select Quartz Filter, and the level of compression.

I believe that Jerome is exposing something that already exists in OSX, but certainly, it's a good solution that works well for me, allowing me to get a good balance between quality and filesize.

Teach Your Kids about New Year's Resolutions
Be a Goal Getter with Tips from Moms and Experts
Each January, 100 million Americans use the new year as a chance to wipe the slate clean and do things differently. Resolutions are a great way to inspire change in all aspects of your life, and your loved ones' lives, as well. Setting a resolution as a family can bring you together and help you become healthier and happier.
It's never too early to start teaching healthy habits, and experts say that even pre-schoolers can set age-appropriate goals.
We've asked moms and experts for advice on teaching kids about goal-setting and resolutions that can help inspire and encourage you and your little ones.
Selecting Goals
Most of us give up on our resolutions because they are not very "SMART," according to an article in the journal, Management Review.
In other words, the goals are not:
Achievable
Setting a specific goal is very important because it gives direction and purpose. "I will be nicer to my family" is hard for kids to gauge; "I will say please and thank you when I borrow something from my sister" is easier to remember and put into action.
Talk to your child about how he/she will measure success. For example, if your daughter wants to become a better basketball player, she could set a goal of practicing a certain number of times a week. Instead of focusing on winning or losing, she'll focus on gaining experience.
Choose goals that are achievable and within your child's control. Ask your kids what they would like to accomplish to ensure the goal is relevant to them. You might want them to commit to making their bed every morning, but maybe they're more interested in trying new fruits and vegetables.
Set a reasonable deadline. Establish a time frame for achieving the resolution. If your son is having trouble with math, a goal of improving his grade by one letter by the end of the year is reasonable yet firm.
Set the Right Kind of Healthy Goals:
One of the most popular (and least effective) resolutions for adults is the vow to lose weight. This is not a very "SMART" goal because it is vague and has no time line. And while improving kids' health is important, focusing specifically on weight can have a negative effect on a child's self-esteem, and experts recommend avoiding such goals or resolutions. Instead of focusing on weight or other health metrics, focus on making healthy living fun, just like April Jackson and her 4-year-old daughter did.
April says that her daughter is a picky eater, but together, they've resolved to get creative in the kitchen. "She's agreed to try at least one new fruit/vegetable a month," says April. "Ideally, she'll go to the farmers market/grocery store (with me) and pick it out herself."
Need inspiration? Try these other age-appropriate healthy resolutions from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
I will clean up my toys every night.
I will brush my teeth twice a day, and wash my hands after going to the bathroom and before eating.
Kids (ages 5-12)
I will drink milk and water instead of soda.
I will apply sunscreen before I go outdoors.
I will eat at least one fruit and one vegetable every day, and limit the amount of soda I drink.
I will choose non-violent television shows and video games, and I will spend only one to two hours each day on these activities.
I will wipe negative "self talk" (i.e. "I can't do it" or "I'm so dumb") out of my vocabulary.
I agree not to use a cell phone or text message while driving and to always wear a seat belt.
Identify Potential Obstacles and Determine Alternative Behaviors:
Talk to your child about what obstacles he/she might run into when attempting to meet goals and develop a "mode of attack" for dealing with the setbacks. Explain that progress is not necessarily linear and may include detours.
If a child wants to eliminate a negative behavior, it's important to establish acceptable alternative behaviors. For example, if he/she would like to watch less television, the resolution could be, "Instead of watching television after school, I would like to spend more time reading or playing outside."
Create Accountability:
April plans to combine the resolutions she'll set for her daughter, as well as her daughter's own goals, and create a chart. The chart will be placed at a "resolution station" (a bulletin board) in the kitchen. Every time they try a new fruit or vegetable, April will ask her daughter to draw the fruit or vegetable on the chart and write her thoughts about the meal. "I think using charts with stickers/prizes is a good way to give her that message because she can actually see her accomplishments adding up!" she says.
If your child's goal involves activities outside the home, try recruiting teachers, church leaders, babysitters, or other adults to help your child stay on track. Erin Whaling says her 6-year-old son's resolution is to stop calling out in class. "He was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, so his charts help him keep on track. We have a chore chart and a behavior chart. My son and I had a talk with his teacher, and starting the first of the year, he will receive a star sticker on the days he does not call out."
It's important for parents to remember the fine line between accountability and nagging-especially with older children. Sharing your resolutions and progress with your older children is a great way to start the conversation without being too pushy.
Set Rewards:
Break down the resolution into quantifiable mini-goals, such as "10 days without an outburst" in Erin's son's case, and set rewards for achieving each goal. Mini-goals make larger resolutions seem more achievable, and rewards will make the resolution process more fun. If your child's resolution is to save $100 for a new bicycle, mini-goals could be the $25, $50, and $75 marker, and the rewards could be a special "spa day" with mom at home, a movie marathon, or dessert for dinner.
Revisit Goals and Be Flexible:
Most importantly, talk to your child about being flexible with their goals. Goals can become unrealistic or unimportant over time, and it's perfectly acceptable to start a "New Year" goal in the middle of June! "I'd like to revisit her goals on a month-by-month basis and talk about what she has accomplished, find out whether or not she's still happy with her goals, and if she'd like to modify them at all," says April. "I think it's important to take into account her feelings and how that impacts her goals."

Probe finds beoutQ used Arabsat satellite infrastructure
probe Infrastructure satellite finds BeoutQ Arabsat
An investigation into rogue Saudi channel beoutQ's activities has confirmed it used satellite infrastructure owned by Arabsat to illegally broadcast football matches.
The rights holders of various football competitions, including FIFA, the AFC, UEFA, the Bundesliga, LaLiga, the Premier League, Ligue 1 and Lega Serie A, on Monday collectively released a statement following an independent investigative report by MarkMonitor into the actions of beoutQ.
"As rights holders of globally followed sports events, whose intellectual property rights have been breached on a systematic and widespread basis by the pirate broadcaster known as beoutQ, we had commissioned a leading industry body, MarkMonitor, to conduct research and produce a detailed and independent technical analysis of beoutQ's operations," the statement said.
The report "confirms without question that beoutQ's pirate broadcasts have been transmitted using satellite infrastructure owned and operated by Arabsat. The contents of the report are today being published in full on the rights holders' websites to provide transparency about the facts of the case and to demonstrate the seriousness with which we, as global rights holders, view this issue," the statement added.
The rights holders added that "we have been frustrated in our attempts to pursue a formal copyright claim against beoutQ in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and, while we have received reports that beoutQ transmissions are currently disrupted, we nevertheless call on Arabsat and all other satellite providers to stop (and going forward agree to refrain from) providing a platform for piracy, which harms not just legitimate licensees, fans and players but also the sports that it abuses.
"Cutting off its access to transmission services would be a major step in the fight to stop beoutQ. We all, individually and collectively, remain committed to bringing an end to international sports piracy," the statement concluded.

Ow, my knee hurts. Having trouble walking. Hyperextending it a bit in Kung Fu on Saturday and then bouncing on it at a Presets/Rapture show was not a good idea. Oops!
Anyway, the Presets rock. They're a two man band -- the singer on synthesizers, and the non-singer mainly on drums but also alternating with synthesizers. They made no secret of their influences, using samples and sounds from the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, etc. The singer sounded a bit like the dude from Dead Or Alive while channeling some Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters in stage presence. Well, and he was clothed, so that was a little different. They were perfect to get the crowd going.
Next up was the headliner -- The Rapture. They too are a fun dance music band, but they did not rely on synthesizers nearly as much. For me, they mainly channeled Gang of Four. All in all, a good time. The crowd up front loved it.
I'm psyched I went to Taco Bell around the corner before the show. I'm going to Puerto Rico in a few days where I'll be wearing a bikini while lying on a beach, revealing my white belly for the world to see, and I'm still eating Taco Bell. What the hell is wrong with me?

The author of Yu-Gi-Oh!Manga comic, Kazuki Takahashi, found dead in the sea
Kazuki Takahashi, the author of Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga comics and trading card games apparently died while snorkeling in southwestern Japan.
According to the Coast Guard, the body of Mr. Takahashi (60) was found on Wednesday, about 300 meters off the coast of Okinawa.
According to an official at Nago Coast Guard Nako Station, a person who runs a maritime leisure business found the body.
The corpse was found by Coast Guard and fire department personnel wearing a snorkeling mask face down in the water. According to Coast Guard officials, he could have died for a day or two, speaking on condition of anonymity, because his work could not quote his name.

The body showed signs of being attacked by marine life, perhaps sharks, but the cause of death is still under investigation, officials said.
Takahashi was identified by saying that a rental car was found abandoned on the beach after police in another part of Okinawa contacted the Coast Guard on Thursday.
The car has a driver's license and I have confirmed my identity. Takahashi's real name is Kazuo. According to Coast Guard officials, his family contacted him and identified him.
His cartoon Yu-Gi-Oh! It has been a hit since its debut in Shonen Jump magazine in 1996, and has sold over 40 million copies as a manga, but the number of cards in the world is much larger.
The official card game was released in 1999. Followed by TV shows, video games, dolls and toys.
Mourning for Mr. Takahashi's social media was flooded.

Fans around the world have posted images of their cards and manga online in honor. Some have said that is why they became interested in Japan. People remembered how the cards helped make their first friends.
"I am deeply grateful for the wonderful'Yu-Gi-Oh!'. The universe he created, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time," said London-based YuGiOh News. The account is stated on Twitter and its official website.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Since the event was held at a baseball field in Tokyo in 1999, many children and parents came to buy cards, and the organizer's game maker Konami had to notify the riot police.
Yu-Gi-Oh! It is played by two people facing each other, placing cards of different powers from the deck and trying to defeat the opponent. Each player starts with 8,000 "life points". Life points are stolen by the chisel when the card is lost.
The main character is a coarse-eyed boy with sharp blonde hair called Yugi Mutou, a card game expert. Yu-Gi-Oh means "King of the game".
Success of Yu-Gi-Oh! In the West, it was similar to that of other Japanese anime and game works like Pokemon.
