Australian Rules football, also known as Australian football or Aussie Rules, is contact sport played between two teams of 18 players each on an oval-shaped field and was first played in May 1859 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The game's origins can be traced back to football matches played in Melbourne in 1858 which were first inspired by English public school football games. The Melbourne Football Club, seeking to develop a game more suited to adults and Australian conditions, published the first laws of Aussie Rules football in May 1859.

Okay, so maybe Day 60's model was maybe based on a Hilbert curve, not a Peano curve. So, we may as well make another model out of it. This one also keeps its form when picked up and has vertical steps to track the path of the curve.

Steve Chen — Complete Biography, History, and Inventions
Steve Chen (right) is pictured here with Chad Hurley at the 35th Annual Vision Awards.
Who is Steve Chen?
Steven Shih Chen is an internet entrepreneur most notably known as a co-founder of YouTube. He was also the Chief Technology Officer as well. He also co-founded AVOS Systems, built MixBit, and in 2014, joined Google Ventures.
Steve Chen was born Chen Shih-Chun in Taipei, Taiwan on August 25, 1978. His father ran a successful trading business in Taiwan and decided to move the family to the United States in 1984 to further his company's prospects. Chen attended a private school in Taiwan as a child, and after arriving in Illinois when the family's immigration was complete, he continued his education at a public school in the United States. Later, Chen attended Washington Middle School in Aurora, Illinois and then went on to West Aurora High School for a couple of years before transferring to the more prestigious Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA). It was at IMSA that his education first included computer programming and other related concepts.
After IMSA, Chen enrolled in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and took courses in computer science for several years. One of the interesting facts about Steve Chen is that his college education was not a success by traditional standards. Although he completed nearly every requirement for graduation, Chen never earned a bachelor's degree. Instead, he dropped out in 1998 with only a few months remaining to graduation. This was no unplanned dropout, however. Rather, Chen had received a job offer from Max Levchin, a graduate of the University of Illinois who was now working in the tech industry in California. Despite his family's reservations, Chen took the offer and began work at Confinity, the company that would soon become PayPal (see also: Paypal: Complete Guide).
PayPal and eBay (1999-2005)
At PayPal, Chen worked as a software engineer on various things, gaining important experience in the still fledgling world of Silicon Valley tech startups. More importantly, PayPal is where Chen started to make connections to people who would continue to be an important part of his career. Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim, the other two co-founders of YouTube, are certainly amongst the biggest of these connections.
Outside of Hurley and Karim, PayPal is also where Steve Chen became friends and coworkers with the PayPal Mafia, a group of men who worked at PayPal during the time that Max Levchin and Peter Thiel were at the helm of the company (see also: The PayPal Mafia). Although the group was not called the PayPal Mafia until a photoshoot in 2007, after most had left the company, it is undeniable that many of the men involved have gone on to become big figures in Silicon Valley.
After PayPal was acquired by eBay in 2000, Chen, Hurley and Karim continued to work there for several years. At the same time, however, they were exploring other avenues. For Steve Chen, this involved a brief stint at Facebook during its early years of operation (see also: The History of Facebook). All three men soon decided to leave working for other companies behind, however, and start their own business venture.
YouTube (2005-2009)
Throughout their time at PayPal, Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim regularly met up to talk about technology and company ideas. At one of these discussions, Chen or Karim suggested the idea of creating a website to allow people to easily upload video files and share them with others. Soon after, the three men co-founded YouTube (see also: The History of YouTube).
To begin with, the new company ran out of the three men's garages and involved many of the other friends and coworkers they knew from PayPal. After the company began to succeed, it moved into real offices. Throughout his time at YouTube, Chen was the company's Chief Technology Officer. When the company sold to Google in 2006, just a short 13 months after its initial creation, Chen earned several million dollars in Google shares but continued working at the company until sometime in 2009 (see also: The History of Google).
Steve Chen was a founder of YouTube, a website conceived as a video upload/sharing platform that has since evolved into a streaming service as well.
AVOS Systems (2010-2014)
After departing YouTube in 2009, Chen started a new company called AVOS Systems with cofounder Chad Hurley. AVOS worked on several projects simultaneously, among them a video sharing service called MixBit that would allow users to upload short clips and edit other users' clips together to create longer videos. Chen did not work much on MixBit, which was Hurley's project, and the company eventually ceased operations in 2014, with MixBit becoming its own company instead.
Nom Labs (2014-2017)
Chen's next venture was Nom Labs, another video-based website. Nom Labs had a very specific focus, serving as a way to share professionally made cooking videos. Chen was its founder and chief technology officer throughout its lifespan from 2014-2017, when it was closed down.
Google Ventures (2014-2018)
From 2014 to 2018, Chen also worked as a consultant for Google Ventures, a Google spinoff which focuses on providing capital to new startups. With several successful startups and a few that didn't make a big splash under his belt, Chen was able to use this time to share his expertise and knowledge with a new generation of Silicon Valley founders while benefiting from the energy and passion they brought to tech entrepreneurship.
What is Steve Chen known for?
Chen has led a very high-profile tech career, but of all his many accomplishments two stand out as the things he is best known for. These are as a member of the influential PayPal Mafia and as one of the cofounders of YouTube.
A Member of the PayPal Mafia
Steve Chen is an influential member of the PayPal Mafia, a group of around 20 very successful Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who all got their start working at PayPal under Max Levchin and Peter Thiel. Steve Chen's net worth of about $380 million makes him one of the PayPal Mafia's more successful members, although he is still worth a lot less than the billionaires on the list, which include Elon Musk and Max Levchin himself (see also: Elon Musk: Complete Biography).
Steve Chen is probably best known as one of the three cofounders of YouTube. After the company's founding, he served as its Chief Technology Officer. Chen's contributions to YouTube helped shape it into an era-defining site that has completely revolutionized how people today use the Internet to share videos and their personal lives.
Steve Chen: Marriage, Divorce, Children, and Personal Life
Chen's net worth stems largely from his success at founding YouTube and then selling it to Google. After starting the video company with Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim, Chen was able to sell it to Google for $1.65 billion, receiving about $326 million dollars in Google stocks.
In 2008, Steve Chen was visiting Korea to promote YouTube. There, he met and immediately fell for a marketing manager at Google Korea called Park Ji-hyun. The two dated and were quickly married, with Park taking on the name Jamie Chen.
Chen and his wife have two children, one of whom was born in 2010. However, no public information is available about the family.
Despite his high profile, Steve Chen lives a life that does not make major news headlines and is relatively out of the public eye. After his marriage in 2008, he and his wife lived in San Francisco through 2019. Sometime in 2019, Chen and his family moved back to his native Taipei, Taiwan, where they still currently live.
Steve Chen: Awards and Achievements
Carnegie Great Immigrants Award
In 2014, Steve Chen was one of a number of recipients of the Carnegie Foundation's "Great Immigrants" award, which celebrates achievements and contributions by immigrants to American society.
Steve Chen Quotes
"YouTube is a platform, a distribution vehicle."
"There are a lot of services trying to solve the information discovery problem, and no one has got it right yet."
"There are lots of new products and new services making adding content easier. But there's not many people on the other side helping users digest that content."
"Everybody carries a phone with them, but they may not have a computer."
"Every user has something to say."
Steve Chen — Complete Biography, History, and Inventions FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Steve Chen, born Chen Shih-Chun, is an American entrepreneur and software engineer. After working at PayPal in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Chen was one of the three co-founders of video website YouTube. Since the company's sale to Google in 2006, Chen has continued to work in tech, starting new companies and offering entrepreneurship advice to newer startups.
Is Steve Chen a Millionaire?
Steve Chen is a millionaire, with a net worth of approximately $380 million as of December 2021. Much of this net worth comes through Chen's shares in Google, of which he received approximately $326 million worth when selling YouTube in November 2006.
Who is Steve Chen's wife?
Steve Chen's wife, Jamie Chen, was born Park Ji-hyun. According to reporting in Korean newspaper Chosun Daily, the two met while Chen was visiting Korea to promote YouTube in 2008 and were quickly married after "a whirlwind romance." Park was a product marketing manager at Google Korea at the time.
Why did Steve Chen create YouTube?
The origin story of YouTube is unclear, with several different versions in existence. All share one common thread, though, which is the fact that prior to YouTube's launch in 2005 it was difficult to find videos of public events online. Steve Chen, along with cofounders Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim, wanted to make it easy for people to share videos.
What is Steve Chen's legacy?
Chen is still very active in tech entrepreneurship, so it's hard to say yet what his final legacy will be. His contributions to YouTube and Google Ventures in particular will likely be an important part, however, and his immigration status to the US means he will continue to be an inspirational figure to those who look to America as a land of opportunity.
What year did Steve Chen leave Taiwan?
Steve Chen moved to Illinois from Taiwan in 1986 at the age of eight, when his father decided that immigration to the United States was essential to expanding his successful trading business. Many sources suggest that Chen did not move to Illinois with his family until he was 15, in 1995. It's not clear why this misinformation is so prevalent, but Chen attended middle and high school in Illinois, so it is definitely incorrect.
Does Steve Chen work for Equinox Holdings?
Steve Chen's first and last name are fairly common. It's important to realize that the Steve Chen who works as a senior sales manager at Equinox Holdings is not the same as the Steve Chen who co-founded YouTube. Equinox Holdings is not a tech company, but a company that "creates and operates upscale fitness clubs" based in New York City. Although someone named Steve Chen does work for Equinox Holdings, it isn't the same person.

EMU regents to consider 7.8% tuition hike, exceeding state cap
Updated Apr 03, 2019; Posted Jun 16, 2015
By Jeremy Allen | jallen42@mlive.com
Eastern Michigan University students

(File | MLive.com)
The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents is set to consider a tuition increase of 7.8 percent at its meeting today, EMU officials said.
Raising tuition that much would exceed a state tuition increase cap of 3.2% percent for in-state students, meaning EMU would give up $1 million in state funds.
However, the tuition increase would raise an additional $10 million, officials said.
The annual cost for an undergraduate resident student taking a standard full load of 30 credits a year at EMU was $9,663 for in-state students this past school year.
With the 7.8 percent increase, students next year would pay $10,417.
If the increase is approved, EMU's tuition will be the third lowest out of 15 public universities in Michigan. said Walter Kraft, vice president of communications.
Even before the state instituted a cap on tuition, Kraft said that EMU's tuition increases remained modest. Increases have averaged 3.1 percent tuition for the past seven years. Five years ago, EMU held its tuition and room and board rates steady, but has raised it by more than 3 percent each year since then.
Of the additional $9 million raised by the tuition increase, $4.5 million will go toward financial aid and the rest will go toward capital improvement projects and general building upkeep, EMU officials said.
In order for universities to receive the full allotment of state appropriations, they have to adhere to a number of metrics set forth by Gov. Rick Snyder, one of which includes a tuition increase cap of 2.8 percent for in-state students. Last year's cap was set at 3.2 percent.
The board is meeting at 1:30 p.m. in 201 Welch Hall.

What's next for Chris Froome - a record-tying Tour de France win or a Giro d'Italia triumph to complete the set?
Chris Froome did not need victory in La Vuelta to put his name in the history books, but by winning Spain's grand tour he has opened up a whole new chapter.
The four-time Tour de France winner has become the first man to win the Tour and the Vuelta in the same year since 1978 – back when the Vuelta was still raced in the early part of the season – and the first man to win consecutive grand tours in the same season since Marco Pantani's Giro d'Italia-Tour double in 1998.
Froome is Britain's first ever winner in the Vuelta, and the first Briton to win a grand tour other than the Tour de France.
If Team Sky and Froome have been criticised for putting all their eggs in the Tour basket each year, this victory shows he and they can not only build grand tour-winning form but sustain it.
The Vuelta perhaps ranks third out of the three grand tours in stature, but its reputation has grown immensely in recent years as each season it boasts stronger line-ups.
Riders may start the season targeting either the Giro or the Tour, but most seem to end up fighting it out in the Vuelta.
Froome himself has a long history with a race he has finished in second place three times.
Known as a late bloomer, his career was 12 seconds away from receiving a kick-start when he was a close runner-up in 2011.
He was an accidental contender, having only made Sky's line-up as a late replacement for Lars Petter Nordhaug and racing in the service of Bradley Wiggins, before taking the red jersey with a shock performance in the time trial.
He would be beaten by another outsider, Juan Jose Cobo, but only after a moment's hesitation on stage 15 as Wiggins cracked on the Angliru – the same climb where Froome effectively wrapped up his victory this year.
Froome himself has a long history with a race he has finished in second place three times
He was back 12 months later, finishing fourth after emptying himself in support of Wiggins in the Tour de France, but the Vuelta then took a back seat as Froome turned his own attention to the Tour.
But he rode again in 2014 after crashing in France, and after finishing second to Alberto Contador by 70 seconds he was not only impressed with how the Vuelta teed him up for the winter but intrigued by how competitive he could be.
Another second place to Nairo Quintana 12 months ago further convinced him he could win in Spain without compromising the Tour, and this year he has proved it.
While others' bids to win consecutive grand tours of late have fallen short – notably the Giro-Tour double attempts of Contador in 2015 and Quintana this year – Froome has delivered where others could not.
It deserves to be recognised as a truly brilliant sporting accomplishment, though in keeping with Froome's understated personality it will probably go under the radar at home.
Job done! ? ?? #LV2017 #lavuelta pic.twitter.com/XQLdRAR8Y4
— Chris Froome (@chrisfroome) September 10, 2017
Froome was deeply impressive in the way he was able to hold off Vincenzo Nibali – who should have been well-rested since his exertions in the Giro in May.
Key again was the depth of Team Sky, who were able to send another star-studded support squad less than four weeks after the end of the Tour, and turning in one of the best overall team performances in years to control this race over mountainous terrain.
Froome now has decisions to make about where he goes next. There is no question that the Tour still matters the most. His victory in July left him one shy of the all-time record of five victories – jointly held by Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Indurain.
But Froome will also be aware that victory in the Giro – a race he has not started since 2010 – would make him only the seventh man in history to have won all three Grand Tours.
Received wisdom – and the recent evidence from riders such as Contador and Quintana – suggest the Giro-Tour double is all but impossible in the modern age – but Froome has given himself an enviable choice when it comes to the next chapter he wants to write.

Debate Rules Broke In Midst Of 'Acts Of Terror' Confrontation
Tim Brown October 17, 2012
In last night's debate, rules were put in place and even moderator Candy Crowley stated that the audience agreed to hold applause and other outbursts, but apparently that meant nothing to Michelle Obama. This came right in the midst of a confrontation by Mitt Romney over the claims of Barack Obama that he referred to the attacks on Benghazi as "acts of terror" on September 12.
During the exchange last night between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney over the issue of Libya, the first lady began applauding around the 56 second mark and the camera catches her doing it. Is this a big deal? It demonstrates lack of decorum for sure and the ability to control one's self.
Trending: The Facts about the Death of Justice Scalia are Quite Suspicious
While the discussion was over whether Obama referred to Benghazi as a terrorist act on September 12, CNN attempted to provide proof that he addressed it as an "act of terror."
"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this nation," Obama said the day following the attacks. There is no question that he made that reference in that context and it could be perceived by some that is what he was referencing. However, for more than a week the entire Obama administration put out the story that the attack in Libya was one brought on by an anti-Muslim video titled "Innocence of Muslims." They did not refer to it as an "act of terrorism."
The Washington Post puts out a timeline of all that took place from the time of the attack through September 16.
"Yesterday, our U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked. Heavily armed militants assaulted the compound and set fire to our buildings. American and Libyan security personnel battled the attackers together. Four Americans were killed. They included Sean Smith, a Foreign Service information management officer, and our Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. We are still making next of kin notifications for the other two individuals."
— Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, State Department Treaty room, Sept. 12
"The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. We're working with the government of Libya to secure our diplomats. I've also directed my administration to increase our security at diplomatic posts around the world. And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.
"Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts…No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for."
— President Obama, Rose Garden statement, Sept. 12
(Note: we added this statement to the timeline after Josh Gerstein of Politico asserted that the phrasing "acts of terror" showed Obama acknowledged "terrorism" was behind the attack. From our many years of covering diplomacy we would say there is a world of difference, but readers can draw their own conclusions.)
"Frankly, we are not in a position to speak any further to the perpetrators of this attack. It was clearly a complex attack. We're going to have to do a full investigation."
— Unnamed senior administration official, briefing reporters in a conference call, Sept. 12
"I think it's important to note with regards to that protest that there are protests taking place in different countries across the world that are responding to the movie that has circulated on the Internet. As Secretary Clinton said today, the United States government had nothing to do with this movie. We reject its message and its contents. We find it disgusting and reprehensible. America has a history of religious tolerance and respect for religious beliefs that goes back to our nation's founding. We are stronger because we are the home to people of all religions, including millions of Muslims, and we reject the denigration of religion. We also believe that there is no justification at all for responding to this movie with violence."
— White House spokesman Jay Carney, news briefing, Sept. 13
"This has been a difficult week for the State Department and for our country. We've seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over n awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with. It is hard for the American people to make sense of that because it is senseless, and it is totally unacceptable."
— Clinton, transfer of remains ceremony, Sept. 14
"I have seen that report, and the story is absolutely wrong. We were not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent. That report is false."
— Carney, news briefing, Sept. 14
"Based on the best information we have to date … it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video. But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent…. We do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned."
— Susan E. Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, on CBS's "Face the Nation," Sept. 16
"We had a substantial security presence with our personnel and the consulate in Benghazi. Tragically, two of the four Americans who were killed were there providing security. That was their function. And indeed, there were many other colleagues who were doing the same with them."
— Rice, on ABC's "This Week," Sept. 16
(Note: the U.S. post was not a consulate and its precise role is still a mystery.)
"The way these perpetrators acted and moved, and their choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration, this leaves us with no doubt that this was preplanned, predetermined."
The real issue is what was blamed as dead Americans arrived back home in America. It wasn't terrorism. It was a stupid YouTube video.

Following local news regarding H.B. 2585 we received this note written originally by Noah Mamber, Legislative Analyst at the Marijuana Policy Project.
Apparently H.B. 2585 has passed in the House and will be going to Senate committee hearing Monday. We were watching this bill on March 3, 2011 and unfortunately in this morning's mail found out that indeed H.B. 2585 has cleared in the House by a vote of 51 yays and 6 nays. That will send H.B. 2585 to the Senate Judiciary Committee this Monday, March 7 at 2 p.m. in SHR1. In essence this bill directly opposes the confidentiality clause in Prop 203 and adds medical marijuana to the controlled substances prescription monitoring program, which has a data base monitored by many different groups.
We ask that those interested in the confidentiality aspect of medical marijuana contact your senator and request that he/she vote "No" to H.B. 2585. Again, the meeting is scheduled for this Monday, March 7 at 2 p.m.in SHR 1. You may e-mail Nmamber@mpp.org if you would like to testify. It would be beneficial to the cause if you (or a family member) are a seriously ill patient and could testify both how medical marijuana is beneficial to you and also that you believe the original intent of Prop 203 was that its use was to be strictly confidential.
This bill (which is in opposition to the confidentiality aspect of MM), was brought to you by: Representative Amanda A. Reeve, Representative Cecil P. Ash, Representative Chad Campbell, Representative Debbie McCune Davis, Representative Eric Meyer, Representative Kimberly Yee, Representative Matt Heinz and Representative Russ Jones. If you are a constituent of these representatives, we especially encourage you to voice your opinion. It is not in the spirit of the original Prop which the voters have passed to connect medical marijuana with the provisions of the laws of controlled substances and that database. By including medical marijuana in a database of these users, the intent of keeping medical marijuana use confidential is diluted and the resultant effect is more government control.

The U.S. government has put a $5 million bounty on the head of the Superintendent of Venezuela Government Cryptocurrency. Joselit Ramirez Camacho is charged with two other men, El Assami and Samark Jose Lopez Bello, that are being accused of violating eight counts of U.S. sanctions, money laundering, and violating the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.
In the official statement by ICE, (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) the "Ramirez Camacho currently serves as Venezuela's superintendent of cryptocurrency and has been indicted in the Southern District of New York for violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Kingpin Act, and other sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)."
What is Petro?
Petro was first introduced to Venezuela by Nicolas Maduro in December of 2017. It was supposed to help back Venezuela's reserves of oil, gold, diamonds and gasoline, as well as help advance monetary sovereignty. The Venezuelan bolivar has a falling value and the country having $140 billion in foreign debt.
Soon after the launch, the backlash started. First, with Venezuela's National Assembly, headed by the opposition Democratic Unity Roundtable, declaring that Petro is an illegal debt issuance by a government desperate for cash, and has said it will not recognize it.
Currently, there have been several months of fuel shortage in Venezuela. This is due to financial sanctions that have been imposed by the Trump Administration. After receiving several shipments of gasoline from Iran, the Venezuelan government has stopped subsidizing gasoline for its citizens. It now costs around 2.5 cents per liter. Venezuelans will be able to pay for gas using the states cryptocurrency, Petro, which has stirred up a lot of controversy in Venezuela. Reasons being that the wallets and systems that are in place don't really work.
Venezuela is suffering from hyperinflation and a shortage of basic food and medicine due to the failed economic policies of the regime of President Nicholas Maduro. The U.S. and other governments claim Maduro stole the May 2018 election and do not recognize his government as legitimate.
Ramirez has been the head of Venezuela's crypto department since June 2018.

What to Do With Your Pawpaws
Three chefs weigh in
It's pawpaw season. The fruit that kept Lewis and Clark going is back again for a fleeting few weeks or so throughout much of the Midwest. You won't find pawpaws in most grocery stores, but you should be able to collect a bounty of Indiana bananas in the wild sometime between now and the beginning of October.
If you're a first-time forager, try identifying ripe fruits by their black spots, says chef Rob Connoley of the Ozark-inspired restaurant Bulrush in St. Louis. "More experienced gatherers are guided by smell," he says. "There's an unmistakable sweet fermentation smell that floats through the hollers and creek beds when pawpaw have begun to drop. That's when we get our crates and head out into the woods." Typically, he says, he gets about ten days of foraging between peak ripeness and rot. Different elevations and latitudes will have different ripening windows, from southern Ohio to the northernmost pawpaw groves in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
You won't find pawpaws in most grocery stores, but you should be able to collect a bounty of Indiana bananas in the wild sometime between now and the beginning of October.
"Of course pawpaws are best fresh off the tree, but they are so plentiful that we gather as many as we can and freeze the puree for use throughout the year," the chef says. While banana bread and ice cream are pawpaw go-tos, Connoley prefers to put the fruit's tropical flavor to work in more savory applications, including the pawpaw black molé that he serves with roasted cauliflower at Bulrush.
"There is no other fruit in the Midwest that can give me the sweetness I want for molé, where sweetness is critical to balancing the heat and salt," Connoley says. "The tropical flavor of pawpaw is unexpected in the Midwest, and it has a slight funkiness because of the ripening that escalates so quickly at harvest time." It adds the same sweetness to a St. Louis-style barbecue sauce that he drizzles over chicken and turkey.
Chef Anthony Lamas, who discovered pawpaws after moving from California to Kentucky, preserves about 300 pounds of them per year at Seviche in Louisville. "They're America's tropical fruit," he says. "I love the mango and banana flavor." Lamas uses pawpaws in sweet and savory dishes, from pawpaw pecan ice cream and pawpaw flan to sauces and marinades for pork, chicken and scallops. His country ham-wrapped halibut comes with pawpaw-habanero butter.
At Cornman Farms in Ann Arbor, Michigan, chef Kieron Hales whisks pawpaw puree into his crème brûlée base. "It adds a luxurious, silky taste to the already creamy dish," he says. "It isn't a powerful flavor. It's delicate and you really have to pay attention to it. I'd almost describe it as if a cantaloupe and an avocado had a baby." Hales also adds pawpaw to a green tomato chutney. "I love the intense seasonality of it," he says. "It's really good at a very specific time of year, and that's it!"
Rob Connoley's St. Louis-Style Pawpaw Barbecue Sauce
Makes 2-3 cups
Pulp of 6 ripe pawpaws, about 2 cups
½ cup red onion, chopped
1 tbsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. white pepper
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
¼ tsp. turmeric powder

History Travel
Tinos Greece: a perfect one-week itinerary
This week-long itinerary combines a beach-time rhythm of Tinos Greece with the island's unique artistic, historical and religious heritage. From local architecture, traditional tavernas, and must-see museums, to religious tourism stops, beautiful beaches, and hidden village square coffee shops, we have the island covered for you.
A Week in Tinos Itinerary Overview
Tinos is an island in the heart of the Cycladic archipelago and also in the heart of the Greek island identity.
Map of Tinos Island
Low-key compared to the neighboring Mykonos and larger than the small Cyclades islands, Tinos and its high artistic, religious and lifestyle significance offers much more than just sand, sea, and sun options.
Map of Tinos Greece
Map of Tinos, Greece
Its allures are best discovered during a longer stay to go village and beach-hopping, so here is a full week itinerary with tips and important information in order to discover and visit Tinos.
You might not want to cover everything on this itinerary every day, and you can certainly pick and choose from the number of options on offer each day. But even for the most active adventurer, you won't be bored with this itinerary!
Important things to consider before you visit Tinos
Tinos is connected by ferry ride from Athens (ports of Rafina and Piraeus), as well as from various neighboring islands.
In case you are departing from Tinos in order to embark on your international flight from Athens' Eleftherios Venizelos airport, make sure to leave the island one day before your scheduled flight and avoid being late due to bad weather and choppy seas cancelations or delays.
Tinos traditional architecture
Rafina port is more convenient for travelers who are not going to the city of Athens, but to the Athens airport.
Tinos and other Greek islands get busy during July and August, so buy your ferry tickets beforehand and avoid crowds and even sold-out ferries.
Tinos is definitely not a small island. Booking a car rental makes exploring Tinos easy. You will need your own transportation to see most of the island.
High-speed ferries might get bumpy during the summer, as the famous Meltemi winds blow strong in July and August. Have a sea sickness pill ready just in case.
Tinos is an ideal destination if you have already been to Santorini, Mykonos, and Naxos and would like to continue the exploration of the Greek islands, love hiking, and water sports, or enjoy art and religious heritage.
About Tinos
Tinos is one of those Greek islands that still retains a proper island charm, lost around its better-known neighbors, Mykonos and Santorini. If Mykonos stands for mass tourism, nightlife, and celebrities, Tinos is its pure opposite – an island immersed in the culture, history, and faith.
Church of Panagia Evangelistria
With more than 100 km of coastline and 40 picturesque villages, a rugged and unique landscape, and rich history, Tinos is becoming a travel hotspot.
One of the most significant features of the island is the wonder-making icon of the All-Holy Virgin Mary held in the Church of Panagia Evangelistria in Tinos town. Her festive day, the 15th of August attracts believers from Greece and abroad seeking her help and healing, making Tinos a sacred destination for Orthodox Greeks.
Tinos also hosts one of the largest Catholic communities in Greece, as it was part of the Venetian Republic for centuries.
That, along with its favorable position along the trading routes in the Aegean Sea made Tinos an urban center with artistic ateliers and handcraft workshops long before Greece gained its independence from the Ottoman Empire.
Tinos chora street art
Tinos has been known from ancient times for its minerals, ore, and marble that has decorated lavish villas all around the Mediterranean. Some of the quarries are open for visitors and it is a sight you should not miss.
Tinos is also an island of more pretty villages than many other places in the Cyclades. Each has a central square, narrow alleys, whitewashed houses that brave the winds, and warm local people.w
Tip: It is also a place of the finest traditional omelets Greece can offer!
As well as world-unique pigeon houses that go up to several stories high, that have recently been revamped into artistic shops and holiday accommodation.
You will also love the sandy beaches – from quiet spots to read and swim to wind-powered spots for experienced surfers.
Tinos offers a rare combination of art and history, a low-key lifestyle, great nature and beaches, and traditional and contemporary cuisine with proximity to Athens and other islands. It is a proper authentic Greek island summer experience!
Day one: Get your bearings around the island and head straight to the beach
Choose one of the ferries that arrive early to make the most of the day in Tinos. Getting to your accommodation, either by car or pick-up provided by your hosts should give you a first glimpse of the island and you will see that much of its terrain is hilly, so be cautious of the traffic.
Kolibithra Beach, Tinos Greece
After settling in, always check the wind direction with your hosts. Avoid going to a beach facing the direction of the summer wind. It can be so strong that it makes swimming impossible. Our picks for the first day are Agios Ioannis Porto and Agios Sostis beach.
Agios Ioannis Porto is typical Cyclades – a sandy beach with a view towards Mykonos, azure shallow waters, and a chapel to the side.
Bring your snorkeling equipment as the sea-bed gets interesting around the rocks. Beach bars with sun-loungers are a perfect spot to relax after a ferry arrival!
Spend your late afternoon on the neighboring beach of Agios Sostis which is just a minutes' walk over a small "peninsula" that separates it from the Agios Ioannis Porto beach.
When the time comes for fresh seafood and Greek wine (try the sharp-tasting retsina), tavernas are just behind the sand dunes.
Day two: Get to know the history and heritage of Tinos
Morning: the Greek breakfast
Start your day with a visit to your local bakery and savor the pastries – the best are the local cheese pies (tyropita) and sweet custard pie (bougatsa) that go perfectly with strong Greek coffee.
For later, grab a couple of super-sweet almond delicacies called amigdalota that were even served at the presidential dinner when President Obama visited Greece (some of the best ones are in the patisseries of the island's capital).
Afternoon till Evening: Chora
The island's capital is a rather developed port settlement but makes it all up in the cultural sphere. This is where you will get an idea about the island's significance and rich heritage. Make sure to visit the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, some of the great museums in Tinos (including the Archeological Museum and the Tinian Artists Museum), and the Mausoleum of the Elli.
Church of the Panagia Evangalestria
Panagia Evangalestria (Our Lady of Tinos) is the island's main attraction where a famous icon is kept. It was built on the place the miraculous icon was found in the 19th century.
Church of Panagia Evangalestria, Tinos Island
The red carpet leading to the church from the port is dedicated to the pilgrims who are covering the distance on their knees, showing their devotion and faith. August is the month when most of the pilgrims arrive.
The Archeological Museum
Ancient treasures of the island and artifacts from neighboring islands are displayed here.
There are sculptures from ancient to Roman times, coins, and a great pottery collection. Vases depicting scenes from Greek mythology are super interesting. The star exhibit is the marble sundial of Andronicus.
Entrance fee: €3.
Museum of Tinian Artists
This museum is set in a beautiful whitewashed mansion next to the Panagia Evangalestria.
Its fine arts heritage collection consists of sculptures and paintings donated by renowned Greek artists, most notably Giannoulis Chalepas and Nicholaos Gyzis. The soul and the aesthetics of Tinian culture radiate from the exhibits. Even the famous Phidias, the creator of the Parthenon is said to have originated from Tinos.
Tip: Make sure to keep your ticket from the Museum of Tinian Artists to visit the house of Greek master sculptor Giannoulis Chalepas in Pyrgos
Mausoleum of the Elli
WWII in Greece began when the Greek ship Elli was torpedoed while docked in Tinos, on the holy day of the Virgin Mary in 1940.
The museum is within the Evangalestria church complex. One of the cannons from the ship was salvaged and is displayed next to the lighthouse in the old port.
Day three: Villages, the true island identity
You don't want to spend all day at the beach when there are over 40 villages scattered around Tinos, each with its own history, population, churches, a main square, and restaurants.
The real life of the island opens up to curious travelers via a network of roads and paths that zig-zag along the slopes. My favorites are the villages of Pyrgos, Dyo Choria, and Volax.
Pyrgos is one of the largest villages in Tinos and a perfect example of a Cycladic picturesque village.
Beautiful Pyrgos streetscape
Almost the entire village is made from marble slabs and you'll love the crisp Greek sun against the whitewashed houses and stone-covered streets.
Make sure to walk the uneven little streets to experience the famous archways, above which the rooms of the adjoining houses are set.
Pyrgos is the birthplace of Giannoulis Chalepas, Greece's most important modern-time sculptor. You can admire the marble tradition of Tinos at the Giannoulis Halepas Museum.
Marble crafts and the School of the Fine Arts in Pyrgos are the core of the marble sculpture artisanship of Greece.
Don't leave the village without treating yourself to lemonade and yogurt with local honey in Sousouro café.
Dyo Choria
The name Dyo Choria means "two villages," two settlements that over the years became a single village. Its altitude allows for an open sea view of Delos, Syros, and Mykonos. The "upper" and "lower" villages are idyllic, with violet bougainvillea flowers falling on the white cobbled streets. The village square offers shade under the plane tree and stone cave fountains.
Countryside around Volax, Tinos
Volax
Volax is a village surrounded by huge granite rocks, the remains of a long-forgotten volcanic eruption. The landscape seems unearthly and only the whitewashed cubic houses remind us of the other villages in Tinos.
The Folklore Museum and the outdoor theater are the main attractions. The traditional art of basket-weaving is kept alive in this village and you can buy baskets from the weavers.
Day four: Marble quarries and beaches
Morning:
Take a dirt road to the northernmost tip of the Tinos island to find Koumelas, a marble quarry fit for the Game of Thrones scenery. Have the camera ready for the emerald green waters of the natural pool set among the gigantic marble cuts.
Pack a picnic and head further on to Koumelas beach for a swim, and enjoy the view of Andros on the horizon.
Isternia village, Tinos Greece
Afternoon:
Head to Isternia (Ysternia) village and down to a small beach on the bay. Isternia is a lovely village built amphitheatrically on the western slopes. It's home to marble craftsmen and offers amazing sunset views and glimpses of Syros island, as well as protected windmills and imposing churches.
Day five: Tinos walks, sea views, and wooden doors
Tinos has some of the most elaborate hiking paths of all Cycladic islands! The labeled paths allow you to experience unspoiled olive groves, traditional terraced gardens, and local architecture in beautiful villages outside of Chora town. In a nutshell – authentic Tinos.
Tinian landscape, Tinos Island
There are plenty of hiking options. My favorite is the M1 "The Highlands" route that goes via the mountain of Xompourgo and along the lines of the Castle of Saint Helen. It was one of the sturdiest strongholds of the Aegean during the Middle Ages and is now in ruins.
Another favorite is the M2 "The Geo" route that shows the changing landscape, with a special focus on the gigantic boulders of the Granites Faltado location.
Tinos island has more than 1000 churches, the largest number of churches per capita in the Cyclades and perhaps in all of Greece!
Village church, Tinos
From grand marble churches of the village squares to humble stone-built shrines, churches are the backbone of Tinian holy architecture. They include:
Assumption of the Mother of Lord Kechrovouni.
Panagia Vrysiotissa (Our Lady of Vrysi)
Jesuit Monastery of Tinos (Loutra)
Convent of Ursulines (Loutra)
Agia Triada (Holy Trinity)
Pigeon houses (Venetian dovecotes)
Venetian dovecotes or pigeon houses are the single most interesting examples of Tinos folk architecture. They were built by the rich and wealthy during past centuries to show their prestige and influence.
Venetian dovecotes, Tinos Greece
The large-scale breeding of pigeons meant fertilizer became an important export product. There are hundreds dotted around Tinos island, some turned into holiday homes, some left to ruin.
Day six: Beaches and watersports
Make the best of all those sandy beaches around Tinos. Here are some of the best beaches:
Head to Pachia Ammos for deep sand dunes and the blue waters of the Aegean. It is a quiet beach without beach bars.
Agios Romanos beach is for those who love secluded bays, soft sand, and an easy-going beach bar. It provides natural shade under the trees.
Pacheia Amos beach is a pebble beach and another quiet spot on the eastern side of the island. Again, no beach bars, so equipment, snacks, and refreshments are necessary.
Tinos has some of the best surfing spots in the Aegean dotted around its north-facing coves. Head to Kolymbithra, Agios Fokas, and Livada beaches for some wind action.
Sunset over Agios Romanos village and beach
Other popular beaches loved by travelers are:
Rochari beach
Kionia beach (known for its many restaurants)
Mikri Ammos and Megali Ammos (the two beaches of Kolympithra Bay)
Santa Margarita beach
Agia Thalassa (cove)
Day seven: Souvenir shopping
Religious artifacts are the best storytellers when it comes to the artistic and religious heritage of Tinos. Wander off the main streets into the alleyways and pick up some of the items made for locals and for religious Greeks visiting Tinos.
Tinos town souvenir shops
Tinos has its own microbrewery, Nisos, that you can visit for as little as €15 and taste up to five different labels. Some of them will make a great souvenir for connoisseurs back home.
Stock up with local sweets – the amigdalota bites with rose water are the best.
The Cheese Cooperative of Tinos is a local treasure when it comes to PDO agricultural products of a Cycladic island. Head to their shop in the main town in Megaloharis street and look for Tinos Graviera and Kopanisti cheeses.

The Pain Relief Clinic is a medical practice that combines traditional pain management techniques with non-invasive treatment technologies available, to specifically help patients who suffer from both acute and persistent pain.
Using a combination of conventional medicine, as well as new technologies such as INDIBA® activ ProRecovery and Shockwave Therapy, we provide effective clinical solutions to pain.
By promoting bone, cartilage and soft tissue repair, we offer a number of non-invasive, safe and drug free options, that are effective for patients who still suffer from pain after trying other treatments, or who are not comfortable with the risks and complications of other options.
Used internationally as a non-invasive method of treating pain and inflammation using high energy acoustic waves.
Non-invasive radiofrequency treatment used by leading professional sports teams, hospitals and clinics across Europe and Japan for pain relief.
Cleared by the US FDA for Muscle Conditioning under prescription, it offers powerful applications in sports science, rehabilitation medicine and pain therapy.
My pain is persistent. I've tried gels, painkillers, injections and alternative treatments which did not work. There is no choice except for surgery.
My pain is due to wear and tear, age related degeneration. Nothing much can be done, while it gets worse with time. I must just learn to live with it.
My pain is due sports injury and exercise causing a muscle, ligament or cartilage tear. The only options are resting, physiotherapy, steroid injections and maybe surgery.
Acute pain from recent injuries and other diseases can result in time off work, difficulty with participation in sports, and interfere with other normal day activities. Persistent pain from chronic injuries, wear and tear, nerve pain, and other causes often results in frustration, low energy level, poor sleep (insomnia), irritability, depressed mood, difficulty with concentration and memory, mobility problems and even reduced sexual function. Relationships with friends and family, work, personal happiness and life in general may also be affected. Pain has even been associated with loss of brain mass. By properly treating persistent pain, patients will be able to enjoy work, sports, and life in general more effectively. Sleep will also become more restful, resulting in more energetic days and better moods. More importantly, pain and its underlying cause must be properly treated to prevent it from getting worse, and deteriorating to the point where surgery and other invasive treatments become necessary. If you are unsure of the cause for the aches, pain or stiffness you are suffering from, or if your condition has not improved despite standard treatments and have been told to consider surgery, do not worry.

Do Older Adults Need Vitamins, Supplements?
Nov. 30, 2012 -- At least half of adults age 65 and above take daily vitamins and other supplements, but only a fraction actually need them, says an Emory University expert.
The majority of older adults, he says, can improve their diet to get needed nutrients.
"A lot of money is wasted in providing unnecessary supplements to millions of people who don't need them," says Donald B. McCormick, PhD, an Emory professor emeritus of biochemistry and the graduate program in nutrition and health sciences at Emory.
He challenges what he says is a widely held belief that the older people get, the more vitamins and mineral supplements they need.
The scientific backup for that doesn't exist, he says. "We know too little to suggest there is a greater need in the elderly for most of these vitamins and minerals."
"A supplement does not cure the aging process," he says. And in some cases, supplements may do harm, he says. Expense is another factor.
His report, which reviews numerous studies of vitamins and mineral supplements, is published in Advances in Nutrition.
Duffy MacKay, ND, vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs for the Council for Responsible Nutrition, an industry group representing dietary supplement makers, agrees that starting with a good diet is the best way to get needed nutrients.
But he says that is not always reality, especially for older adults who may have obstacles such as a reduced appetite.
Older-Adult Nutrient Needs
McCormick reviewed studies on dietary supplements in older adults published in the last 12 years.
He says that ''it is apparent that changes in requirements for the elderly do not suggest massive supplement use covering most micronutrients." He says minor diet changes can fill needs for nutrients, ''with supplements included only where there is evidence of serious limitation of intake."
He disagrees with a study suggesting that older adults should take two multivitamins a day. He found no evidence that older adults need more thiamin, riboflavin, or niacin than younger people. Some older adults may need more vitamin B6, B12, and folate, research suggests.
But vitamin C needs do not seem to change with age, he says, if an older adult does not smoke cigarettes.
McCormick also found no evidence that absorption or the body's use of vitamin E changes as people get older. He says there is a decrease in the way the skin makes vitamin D. So for some older adults, supplemental vitamin D may be needed. In some research, taking 800 to 1,000 IUs of vitamin D a day helped women who were past menopause.
Copper requirements don't seem to change with age, either, McCormick says.
Older adults often take in less chromium, but he says there is not evidence that there are any health consequences.
In his report, McCormick says supplements for cancer patients are not recommended. (His report was finalized before recent research linked the use of a daily multivitamin to decreased cancer risk modestly in male doctors age 50 and older.)
For older adults, McCormick has this advice: "If you are still eating fairly well, you are getting more micronutrients than you probably really need to function as well as you can."
Boosting nutrients above what can be gotten from a well-balanced diet won't necessarily lead to better health, he says.
At very high levels, some vitamins and minerals can be toxic, he says.
Perspectives: Vitamins, Supplements for Older Adults
''The adequate intake of vitamins in the elderly is a concern," MacKay of the Council for Responsible Nutrition says.
In particular, he says, older adults may lack calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, potassium, and fiber.
Changing the diet can be difficult for older people, he says. Living on fixed incomes may make fresh produce too costly.
Some older adults don't know how to cook. For others, ill-fitting dentures or a reduced appetite may make eating difficult.
"Where dietary changes are difficult, a dietary supplement can be a responsible, reasonable solution," he says.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says older adults should pay special attention to their intake of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, potassium, and fiber.
Fortified milk and yogurt can boost calcium and vitamin D. Lean meat, fortified cereal, and some fish and seafood have vitamin B12. Fruits and vegetables have potassium and fiber.
"It's always best to obtain your nutrients from food," says Andrea Giancoli, RD, MPH, a spokeswoman for The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She reviewed the report for WebMD.
When she counsels older adults, Giancoli first figures out what nutrients are lacking in the diet. Often, it's vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12.
"I try to fix it with food," she says. For instance, she suggests someone with calcium deficits increase their dairy products.
"I don't think we should be recommending supplements blindly without assessing their food intake," she says.

Ville de Lac-Mégantic and Hydro-Québec partnering to build microgrid
By Ellen Cools
March 1, 2018 — Ville de Lac-Mégantic and Hydro-Québec are partnering to build a microgrid in the municipality's new downtown.
Hydro-Québec says the project will help determine how new technologies could contribute to the creation of new services for customers and help them reduce their energy consumption.
The microgrid will also help maintain service to certain buildings during outages and help the utility identify ways to reduce electricity purchases during peak periods and avoid making extra investments in the power system.
"Lac-Mégantic is a city that is looking to the future and focusing on innovation. The region's commitment to sustainable development and the collective efforts to rebuild the downtown area make Lac-Mégantic the ideal place to implement the most advanced energy technologies. This project confirms the city's desire to lead the energy transition in rural areas," said Julie Morin, Mayor of Lac-Mégantic.
The Lac-Mégantic microgrid will include about 30 residential and commercial buildings. It will feature:
• up to 1,000 solar panels (300 kW installed capacity)
• batteries able to store 300 kWh of energy
• smart homes and buildings equipped with consumption management systems
• charging stations for electric vehicles
Hydro-Québec will invest approximately $9 million in this project. Work will begin in 2018 and the microgrid is slated for commissioning in late 2019. Transition énergétique Québec will also be part of the project.

That was an amazing article, thanks for pointing it out. I always suspected that the Prius had some miraculous engineering under the hood, and you have proven it.
It's not simply a bank of batteries and an electric motor helping along an underpowered go kart - it's got amazing tech under there. the computer control code alone must be rather impressive - to model all of the torque/horsepower/speed conversions, and figure out how much to where under what load.
You can see that degree of sophistication in the apparent cultish behavoir of it's owners, with the discussion groups, web sites, etc. I'm saying this is a good thing, btw, not to ridicule.
http://www.wind.sannet.ne.jp/m_matsu/prius...index_i18n.html This is based on the older model Prius, but it will show you how the various things spin when you apply power or brake. The only major difference is that the newer Prius has a more powerful electric motor, so it can go faster on electric-only.
Slashdot currently has the same poll (perhaps they are copying SR???) about auto vs. manual vs. CTV vs etc. I would NOT be surprised if they got the idea from our current poll, given the timing.
What I do find interesting is the variation in results - Slashdot readers are much more heavily biased towards manual transmissions.

My entry for the World Data Visualization Prize. This interactive provides a way to explore countries through metrics related to both country power and progress, as well as individual human growth and opportunity. Through the use of lots and lots of connected scatterplots, we find that governments can achieve success in being good for both the individuals being governed, and good in the amount of wealth produced.

Bocoup Collaborated with the Harvard Medical School to create an interactive tool for exploring and connecting a number datasets around various types of breast cancer cell lines.
We were able to quickly create a functional tool that is expandable enough to allow for additional datasets to be added in the future. It was a lot of fun working in the bioinformatic domain, creating an interactive tool for scientists to use to discover novel connections between drugs and cancer cell types.
This data exploration project looks at the rich and complex history of classic Kung Fu films from the Shaw Brothers film studio. This non-serious dataset is used to demonstrate a number of techniques: Using R for data exploration and analysis, creating interactive networks of social graphs, and using Word2Vec for a bit of text generative fun.
How do you visualize the "Health of the Internet"? That was the challenge posed Bocoup Data Vis by the non-profit Measurement Lab. To answer this question, we got a chance to flex our Big Data chops, needing to aggregate over 800 million Internet speed tests into city, state, and country level statistics. We used BigQuery, Google Dataflow, and Bigtable to query, wrangle, and store the data needed to power this visualization. The end result is an interactive tool that can be used by consumers and researchers to explore, discover, and research Internet help problems.
This experiment started with that age-old question: "What symbols are used the most often in National Park maps?"
I know you, like myself, have had this thought in your head at least a dozen times in your life. NP Legends serves to begin to provide an answer on this very important topic.

I was asked to contribute to an online interactive piece for the Dallas Morning News that allowed readers to compare Dallas neighborhoods on a number of different metrics.
This piece provides both scatter plot and interactive map, allowing the user to zoom in on one of over 500 neighborhoods in the metro area. An accompanying piece allows users to discover neighborhoods that best match their tastes over a number of factors.
The data for this demo was aggregated from New York City 311 call requests. Here, we look at the requests around the time of the Sandy Hurricane of 2012 from different perspectives.
The data used to demonstrate this type of visualization is song similarity data from last.fm. The visualization includes the ability to search for songs, filter based on song popularity, and change the layout of the visualization.
Small Multiples are a powerful way to display changes over time. In this experiment, I look at an expansion to the basic small multiples idea by adding interactive overlays for showing details of a particular small multiple.
In this example, we look at CO2 emissions over time. However, the methodology demonstrated could be used in any small multiples visualization where additional information on individual graphs would be valuable.

The Original Blog Post describes the visualization in more detail. Uses d3.js and looks best in Google Chrome.
As part of the initial analysis for Track Tag Love, I created this simple chart which attempts to compare between songs that are heard relatively few times - given the number of people who have listened to them, and songs that are listened to many times by many users.
I didn't come to any startling conclusions - and so the analysis was not furthered. However, the light use of interaction to increase annotation and emphasize might be worth exploring further in the future.
A selection of charts from the turn of the century recreated using d3.js. I wanted to get a chance to practice basic visualization techniques using d3, as well as learn a bit of coffeescript in the process. I am also fascinated with America's past. Thus, recreating old visualizations using modern technologies seemed like a good fit.
Here is my original blog post on this visualization.
With these recreations, I attempt to stay true to the original design. Because the process of extracting the raw data out of the original graphs is rather labor intensive, not all the data points are displayed in these updated versions. Also, because of the manual process, values might not exactly match the originals. Visualizations look good in Chrome and Firefox 4.
Managing licenses for shared applications, and knowing when to add more licenses can be tricky. This dashboard satisfies a need of knowing how often the licenses for a particular piece of shared software, Matlab, were being maxed out. Matlab has an interesting license structure in which each package has their own number of licenses - independent of the overall Matlab licenses. So there was a need to track each package's license separately.
This simple dashboard provides an overview of when licenses are being used, when these licenses are being maxed out, and who is using these licenses.

Q: How can I have a view retain its nested child state upon return as opposed to going to its parent using ui-router? Im created tabs using ui-router where some of tabs have children/grandchildren states. How can I have tab view remember its history, that is, go back into its previous used state upon return. I created a CODEPEN to demonstrate this.

1) users goes into a tab

2) user goes into a nested view of that tab

3) user goes into another tabs view

4) if the user goes back into the first tab they go into the parent view of the tab. How can I have them go back into the child view of that tab (seen in #2)?

JS
    .state('sidemenu.parent.child1', {
      url: "/child1",
      views: {
        'shared-child-view' :{
          templateUrl: "child1.html"
        }
      }
    })
       .state('sidemenu.parent.child2', {
      url: "/child2",
      views: {
   'shared-child-view': {
     templateUrl: "child2.html"
   }
    }
    })
  .state('sidemenu.parent.grandchild1', {
     url: "/grandchild1",
      views: {
   'shared-child-view': {
     templateUrl: "grandchild1.html"
   }
    }
    })

html

           Child1

          Child2

  ...............

I have made a minor updates in this codepen where it now shows its current state.

A: I think you just have to fix your states. For example:
'sidemenu.parent.grandchild1'

should be:
'sidemenu.parent.child1.grandchild1'

And you'll have to change the link and add a ui-view in your template:

Q: Pad a packed struct in C for 32-bit alignment I have a struct defined that is used for messages sent across two different interfaces. One of them requires 32-bit alignment, but I need to minimize the space they take. Essentially I'm trying to byte-pack the structs, i.e. #pragma pack(1) but ensure that the resulting struct is a multiple of 32-bits long.  I'm using a gcc arm cross-compiler for a 32-bit M3 processor. What I think I want to do is something like this:
#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct my_type_t
{
    uint32_t someVal;
    uint8_t anotherVal;
    uint8_t reserved[<??>];
}
#pragma pack()

where <??> ensures that the size of my_type_t is divisible by 4 bytes, but without hard-coding the padding size. I can do something like this:
#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct wrapper_t
{
    my_type_t m;
    uint8_t reserved[sizeof(my_type_t) + 4 - (sizeof(my_type_t) % 4)]
}
#pragma pack()

but I'd like to avoid that.
Ultimately what I need to do is copy this to a buffer that is 32-bit addressable, like:
static my_type_t t; //If it makes a difference, this will be declared statically in my C source file
...
memcpy(bufferPtr, (uint32_t*)&t, sizeof(t)) //or however I should do this

I've looked at the __attribute__((align(N))) attribute, which gives me the 32-bit aligned memory address for the struct, but it does not byte-pack it. I am confused about how (or if) this can be combined with pack(1).
My question is this:
What is the right way to declare these structs so that I can minimize their footprint in memory but that allows me to copy/set it in 4-byte increments with a unsigned 32-bit pointer? (There are a bunch of these types of arbitrary size and content). If my approach above of combining pack and padding is going about this totally wrong, I'll happily take alternatives.
Edit:
Some constraints: I do not have control over one of the interfaces. It is expecting byte-packed frames. The other side is 32-bit addressable memory mapped registers. I have 64k of memory for the entire executable, and I'm limited on the libraries etc. I can bring in. There is already a great deal of space optimization I've had to do.
The struct in this question was just to explain my question. I have numerous messages of varying content that this applies to.

A: I can't speak for the specific compiler and architecture you are using, but I would expect the following to be sufficient:
typedef struct {
   uint32_t x;
   uint8_t  y;
} my_type_t;

The structure normally has the same alignment as its largest field, and that includes adding the necessary padding at the end.
my_type_t
+---------------+
| x             |
+---+-----------+
| y | [padding] |
+---+-----------+

|<-- 32 bits -->|

Demo
This is done so the fields are properly aligned when you have an array of them.
my_type_t my_array[2];

my_array[1].x = 123;  // Needs to be properly aligned.

The above assumes you have control over the order of the fields to get the best space efficiency, because it relies on the compiler aligning the individual fields. But those assumptions can be removed using GCC attributes.
typedef struct {
   uint8_t  x;
   uint32_t y;
   uint8_t  z;
}
   __attribute__((packed))      // Remove interfield padding.
   __attribute__((aligned(4)))  // Set alignment and add tail padding.
   my_type_t;

This produces this:
my_type_t
+---+-----------+
| x | y
+---+---+-------+
    | z | [pad] |
+---+---+-------+

|<-- 32 bits -->|

Demo
The packed attribute prevents padding from being added between fields, but aligning the structure to a 32-bit boundary forces the alignment you desire. This has the side effect of adding trailing padding so you can safely have an array of these structures.

A: As you use gcc you need to use one of the attributes.
Example + demo.
#define PACKED __attribute__((packed))
#define ALIGN(n) __attribute__((aligned(n)))

typedef struct
{
    uint8_t anotherVal;
    uint32_t someVal;
}PACKED my_type_t;

my_type_t t = {1, 5};
ALIGN(64) my_type_t t1 = {1, 5};
ALIGN(512) my_type_t t2 = {2, 6};

int main()
{
    printf("%p, %p, %p", (void *)&t, (void *)&t1, (void *)&t2);
}

Result:
0x404400, 0x404440, 0x404600

https://godbolt.org/z/j9YjqzEYW

A: I suggest combining #pragma pack with alignas:
#include <stdalign.h>
#include <stdint.h>

typedef struct {
    #pragma pack(1)
    alignas(4) struct {      // requires 2+1+2 bytes but is aligned to even 4:s
        uint16_t someVal;    // +0
        uint8_t anotherVal;  // +2
        uint16_t foo;        // +3 (would be 4 without packing)
    };
    #pragma pack()
} my_type_t;

The anonymous inside struct makes access easy as before:
int main() {
    my_type_t y;
    y.someVal = 10;
    y.anotherVal = 'a';
    y.foo = 20;

    printf("%zu\n", (char*)&y.someVal - (char*)&y.someVal);    // 0
    printf("%zu\n", (char*)&y.anotherVal - (char*)&y.someVal); // 2
    printf("%zu\n", (char*)&y.foo - (char*)&y.someVal);        // 3

    my_type_t x[2];
    printf("%zu\n", (char*)&x[1] - (char*)&x[0]); // 8 bytes diff
}

If you'd like to be able to take the sizeof the actual data carrying part of my_type_t (to send it), you could name the inner struct (which makes accessing the fields a little more cumbersome):
#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct {
    uint16_t someVal;
    uint8_t anotherVal;
    uint16_t foo;
} inner;
#pragma pack()

typedef struct {
    alignas(4) inner i;
} my_type_t;

You'd now have to mention i to access the fields, but it has the benefit that you can take sizeof and get 5 (in this example):
int main() {
    my_type_t y;

    printf("%zu %zu\n", sizeof y, alignof(y));   // 8 4
    printf("%zu\n", sizeof y.i);                 // 5    (the actual data)
}

A: To form a structure type that is aligned one must put the alignment attribute to the first member of the struct. It can be combined with the packed attribute.
typedef struct {
    _Alignas(4) uint8_t anotherVal;
    uint32_t someVal;
} __attribute__((packed)) my_type_t;

Exemplary usage with alignment exaggerated to 64 bytes.
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct {
    _Alignas(64) uint8_t anotherVal;
    uint32_t someVal;
} __attribute__((packed)) my_type_t;

int main() {
    my_type_t a, b;
    printf("%zu %p\n", sizeof a, (void*)&a);
    printf("%zu %p\n", sizeof b, (void*)&b);
}

prints:
64 0x7ffff26caf80
64 0x7ffff26cafc0

Equifax Hack May Have Been Worse Than Initially Reported
Around September of last year we reported one of the largest data breaches in history, as 148 millions people had their information leaked due to hackers. As you may recall Equifax, one of the largest credit bureaus in the country, was compromised by cyber criminals, and a huge amount of vital confidential information was leaked. Anything from social security numbers, birthdays, address histories, and more was turned over to cyber criminals. Allegedly the hack may have been even worse than Equifax initially reported.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the hack may have been worse than reported to the public, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren collected a report and demanded Equifax reveal the full extent of the breach.
"As your company continues to issue incomplete, confusing and contradictory statements and hide information from Congress and the public, it is clear that five months after the breach was publicly announced, Equifax has yet to answer this simple question in full: what was the precise extent of the breach?"
Equifax seems to continue to downplay the situation, telling the CNN Money that "the original list of vulnerable personal information was never intended to represent the full list of potentially exposed information."
Meredith Griffanti, the spokeswoman for Equifax was quoted by the Associated Press saying "In no way did we intend to mislead consumers." This is something that Sen. Warren felt to be untrue, and her 5 month investigation into the breach "revealed the depth of the breach and cover-up at Equifax."
See Sen. Warren's full report here (PDF)
In addition to all of the information listed prior, the second report mentioned Tax ID numbers, email addresses, and passport numbers. The WSJ confirmed that hackers did access almost all of these elements, which were reported to the Senate Banking Committee. Sen. Warren noted that Equifax is now claiming that passport numbers were not compromised, despite telling the Banking Committee that they were part of the attacker-accessed tables.
A truly unfortunate situation, that could have been prevented. Sen. Warren's report highlighted the failure of the website, which was neither secure of helpful, to determine if people had their information stolen. This would be blamed on a vendor's software code by Equifax. With that much information, a cybercriminal could do virtually anything to use someone's identity.
Cybersecurity is something that is becoming more and more important. With hacks like this, you can really feel how serious things can get in a second. For any company, large or small, leadership should prioritize securing any networks and servers to avoid this type of situation. Superior IT can help. We are able to provide lockdown security for your network, and in the event that something were to happen, we have the ability to regain lost information. Call Superior IT today to talk to someone about ensuring your company's vital data is never breached.
