Q: how to fix the error that ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter' I connected to the remote server (google cloud VM instance - Centos7) with PyCharm from my Windows computer and wanted to execute the code using the remote computer's python3.8.8 via PyCharm. However, I got the error that says
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/tkinter/init.py", line 36, in
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'
I tried to do some different pip installs (pip install python3-tkinter, pip install python3-tk, pip install python3.8-tkinter, etc.) and output of
"pip install python3-tkinter" is
Package python3-tkinter-3.6.8-18.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do.
Is this tkinter for python3.6?
How can I fix this error?

A: The whole link to the thread is here:
How to pip or easy_install tkinter on Windows
but in particular, where is tkinter being run from ? your PC or the remote PC, because either way, it needs to be installed on the machine that it will be running (or called) from.
The Tkinter library is built-in with every Python installation. And since you are on Windows, I believe you installed Python through the binaries on their website?
If so, Then most probably you are typing the command wrong. It should be:
import Tkinter as tk

Note the capital T at the beginning of Tkinter.
For Python 3,
import tkinter as tk

LSU's Brian Kelly calls out tardy media, reporter fires back
Brian Kelly's head coaching debut at LSU did not go as planned on the field after losing on a last-second blocked extra point attempt against the Florida State Seminoles in Week 1.
And his relationship with the local media also appears to be off to an interesting start.

In his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Kelly poked at the "late arriving" media, saying that they would be fined for not being on time.
ED ORGERON RECALLS LSU BUYOUT TALKS: 'WHAT TIME YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE?'
"With that, we'll open it up to this late arriving media crowd that must have enjoyed the weekend," Kelly said. "That's usually $10 that we put in the kitty. We'll have a big bash at the end of the year at my place."
A reporter responded to the jab, taking a shot following Kelly's first loss as head coach of the Tigers.
"Maybe if you win, I'll be on time," the reporter said to Kelly.
WAKE FOREST'S SAM HARTMAN CLEARED TO PLAY AGAINST VANDERBILT AFTER 'RARE' BLOOD CLOT CONDITION
To his credit, Kelly kept his cool in responding to the reporter.
"I don't think it has anything to do with winning," Kelly told the reporter. "I think it has to do with being on time."

Leah Vann, LSU baseball and football beat writer for The Advocate, later took credit for the retort and defended her comment, saying that it was all in good fun.
"Press conference was at noon, I was running from a doctor's appointment," Vann wrote on Twitter. "Got there at 11:57. Brian Kelly called me out, said jokingly I owed him $10, I said if he won maybe I'd be on time. Not my finest hour. I apologized afterward, he was super chill and said I still owe him $10."
"I know Brian Kelly likes to joke," Vann continued. "He clearly took it as one from our conversation afterward. All in good fun, fam."
Brian Kelly left Notre Dame after 12 seasons to take over as head coach at LSU.
Kelly, who left Notre Dame after 12 seasons to take over as head man at LSU in November, will face mounting pressure in Baton Rouge, especially after back-to-back disappointing seasons under former head coach Ed Orgeron.

The Met Announces Celebrations for its 150th-Anniversary Year / 2020
The Met Announces Celebrations for Its
150th-Anniversary Year in 2020
The exhibition Making The Met, 1870–2020 will present more than 250 works of art from the collection while taking visitors on a journey through the Museum's history.
The reopening of the galleries for British decorative arts and design will reveal a compelling new curatorial narrative.
Transformative new gifts, cross-cultural installations, and major international loan exhibitions will be on view throughout the year.
Special programs and outreach will include a birthday commemoration on April 13, a range of public events June 4–6, and a story-collecting initiative.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced the key components of its 150th-anniversary celebration in 2020, including major gifts of art from around the world; exhibitions and displays that will examine art, history, and culture through spectacular objects; and dynamic programs that will engage The Met's local and global communities. Highlights of the year include the exhibition Making The Met, 1870–2020, the opening of the newly renovated British Galleries, the display of new works of art given to the Museum in honor of its 150th anniversary, the launch of cross-cultural installations, a robust schedule of programs and events, and more.
Daniel H. Weiss, the Museum's President and CEO, said, "As we celebrate this milestone occasion, 150 years since our founding on April 13, 1870, we are grateful for the bold vision of our founders, who included a handful of New York City leaders and artists of the day. Over the course of the next 150 years, that vision grew into one of the most important cultural institutions in the world. This anniversary is an exciting moment to celebrate what The Met means to its audience, from the New Yorkers who enjoy the Museum regularly, to the millions of tourists who walk through our doors every year, to those who experience our offerings remotely. It is also an opportunity to reflect on our history, to plan thoughtfully for our future, and to say thank you."
Max Hollein, Director of The Met, said, "The Museum's anniversary is an occasion to celebrate this extraordinary institution, and appreciate the vibrancy and astounding depth and scope of its collection, scholarship, and programs. This moment is also a time to think deeply about our responsibilities as stewards of this exceptional resource, our commitment to cultivating the understanding and appreciation of art, and the ways in which we can illuminate the connections within cultural histories. The Met strives to be a seminal encyclopedic museum—of the world, for the world, and in the world—and we are grateful to everyone who supports us in achieving that goal."
Making The Met, 1870–2020
The centerpiece of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's 150th anniversary celebration will be the exhibition Making The Met, 1870–2020. On view March 30–August 2, 2020, the presentation is a museum-wide collaboration that will lead visitors on an immersive, thought-provoking journey through The Met's history. Organized around transformational moments in the evolution of the Museum's collection, buildings, and ambitions, the exhibition will reveal the visionary figures and cultural forces that propelled The Met in new directions, from its founding in 1870 to the present day. It will feature more than 250 works of art of nearly every type from The Met collection, including visitor favorites and fragile treasures that can only be displayed from time to time. A range of intriguing topics will be explored, such as the educational and aspirational ideals of The Met's founders; the discoveries and dilemmas of excavation; the competing forces of progressivism and nationalism that led to the founding of the American Wing; the role of the Museum during wartime; and the evolution at The Met's centennial toward a truly global approach to collecting. Rarely seen archival photographs, innovative digital features, and stories of both behind-the-scenes work and the Museum's community outreach will enhance this unique experience. The exhibition will have an audio guide and be accompanied by a catalogue. More information is available at metmuseum.org/Making-The-Met.
Making The Met, 1870–2020 is made possible by the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation.
Lead corporate sponsorship is provided by Bank of America.
The catalogue is made possible by the Diane W. and James E. Burke Fund, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, and the Doris Duke Fund for Publications.
Audio Guide supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
New Galleries for British Decorative Arts and Design
A highlight of The Met's 150th anniversary will be the March 2 opening of the Museum's newly installed Annie Laurie Aitken and Josephine Mercy Heathcote Galleries—11,000 square feet featuring almost 700 works of British decorative arts, design, and sculpture created between 1500 and 1900. The reimagined suite of 10 galleries (including three superb 18th-century interiors) will provide a fresh perspective on the period, focusing on its bold, entrepreneurial spirit and complex history. This new narrative will be evident in a gallery devoted to "Tea, Trade, and Empire," which will explore the period's commercial prosperity with a dazzling display of 100 English teapots while also examining the exploitation of both human and natural resources that accompanied that abundance. This is the first complete renovation of the galleries since they were established (Josephine Mercy Heathcote Gallery in 1987, Annie Laurie Aitken Galleries in 1995). The reopening will feature a large number of new acquisitions, particularly works from the 19th century that were purchased with this project in mind. A prominent new entrance will provide direct access from the galleries for medieval European art, creating a seamless transition from the Middle Ages into the Renaissance. More information is available at metmuseum.org/British-Galleries.
Funding for the renovation included leadership commitments from Maureen and Richard L. Chilton, Jr., Nancy and Howard S. Marks, the Estate of Marion K. Morgan, the Annie Laurie Aitken Charitable Trust, Irene Roosevelt Aitken, Mercedes T. Bass, Candace and Frederick W. Beinecke II and the Krugman Family, Drue Heinz, Alexia and David Leuschen, Annette de la Renta, Kimba and Frank E. Richardson, Denise and Andrew Saul, and Susan Weber.
Collections Initiative
The Met's 150th anniversary is an exciting opportunity to further evolve the institution's encyclopedic collection in all curatorial areas, with an eye toward capturing multiple historical narratives. The Museum has received hundreds of exceptional works from more than 100 generous collectors and supporters in honor of the 150th anniversary, ranging from important individual objects to large collections. These gifts and promised gifts will be displayed in galleries at The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer, and The Met Cloisters, and will be identified by special red labels.
Large gifts from individual donors will be featured in dedicated exhibitions. The Costume Institute exhibition In Pursuit of Fashion: The Sandy Schreier Collection (November 27, 2019–May 17, 2020) will feature nearly 80 of the 165 promised items from one of the finest private collections in the United States—a gift that will greatly enrich the Museum's holdings of 20th-century fashion. Opening December 2, 2019, Aesthetic Splendors: Highlights from the Gift of Barrie and Deedee Wigmore will showcase nearly 50 of the 88 works of American art promised by the Wigmores, including decorative arts of the Aesthetic Movement and Hudson River School paintings. Photography's Last Century: The Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas H. Lee Collection (March 10–June 28, 2020) will celebrate the remarkable ascendancy of photography over the last one hundred years through the promised gift of over 60 extraordinary photographs from Museum Trustee Ann Tenenbaum; the collection is particularly notable for the breadth and depth of works by women artists such as Diane Arbus, Cindy Sherman, and Helen Levitt. At The Met Breuer, From Géricault to Rockburne: Selections from the Michael and Juliet Rubenstein Gift (January 29–March 29, 2020) will highlight approximately 50 of the 160 promised works from the Rubensteins' collection of mostly drawings and watercolors, ranging from an early 19th-century drawing by the French artist Théodore Géricault to a mixed-media work on paper from 2019 by Dorothea Rockburne.
Among the new works that will enhance and expand the stories told in the galleries are a Tibetan war mask from Steve Kossak; 82 works, mostly hanging Japanese scrolls, from Cheney and Mary Cowles; Ludovico Carracci's The Denial of Saint Peter (ca. 1616), from Mark Fisch; six wooden African sculptures dating to the late 19th–early 20th century, from Javier Peres and Benoit Wolfrom; and a Greek marble statue of a panther from Nanette Kelekian. Recent modern and contemporary gifts include Pablo Picasso's Seated Female Nude (Femme Nue Assise), from Leonard A. Lauder; Robert Gober's Untitled [Butter Churn],from Trustee Aaron Fleischman; and Sam Gilliam's State, from the artist himself.
Cross-Cultural Installations
On March 4, 2020, The Met will launch a new series of installations drawn from the Museum's permanent collection called Crossroads, which will explore specific themes that span different cultures. The initiative will emphasize intersecting narratives in human creativity and will underscore the multiple ways in which a work of art may be understood. The first iteration of Crossroads will consist of three installations: "Power and Piety" in the Medieval Sculpture Hall (Gallery 305); "Empires and Emporia" in the Asian Art Galleries Astor Forecourt (Gallery 209); and "Mythical Beasts" at the intersection of Greek and Roman Art, Ancient Near Eastern Art, and Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia (Galleries 173–176). Further details will be available in early 2020.
Crossroads is made possible in part by Barbara A. Wolfe.
To mark its anniversary, The Met will host a series of special events and offer an array of public programs throughout the year.
On April 13, 2020—exactly 150 years since the Museum was incorporated—City and State officials will gather for a commemorative program and ceremonial cake cutting. There will be musical performances in the Great Hall throughout the day, presented in partnership with music programs from around New York City's five boroughs.
A three-day-long celebration will be held from Thursday, June 4, through Saturday, June 6. A fundraising gala will take place Thursday night at The Met Fifth Avenue, followed by a dance party made possible by the Museum's individual and corporate supporters. Friday will begin with a scholarly symposium titled "Shifting Perspectives on Art and Museums." On Friday evening, visitors may take part in a range of experiences designed for adults (tours, workshops, performances, art making, and more), featuring artists, authors, personalities, and curators. The festivities will continue Saturday morning with an outdoor, artist-led event. Saturday will conclude with activities on The Met's plaza and throughout the Museum.
Met Stories
The Museum will invite the public to share their own, personal stories of The Met, from memories of the Museum's spaces and collection to reflections on the impact of the arts. In January 2020, The Met will launch a video series featuring a range of stories—serious, comedic, endearing, quirky, solemn, and more—to show how the experiences of The Met are carried outside the gallery walls and into the world. Everyone will be encouraged to submit their own stories, photos, and videos on social media (using the hashtag #MyMetStory) or through a submission form on The Met's website, here: metmuseum.org/Share-Your-Met-Story.
The Met's 150th anniversary is a time to celebrate the Museum's gratitude for its Membership community. Starting January 2020, each new Member will receive art-inspired commemorative Member cards. Throughout the year, an augmented calendar of events will include a new series of curator talks around the reopening of the British Galleries and Making The Met, 1870–2020, an All Member Party in June, and specially curated new Member programming for families and young professionals.
The Met Store
Starting April 2020, The Met Store will offer a new line of products based on the winning submissions from The Met 150 Design Contest—a contest that invited the public to submit original designs inspired by images of works in the Museum's collection. Six designs were selected through a combination of crowd voting and deliberations by a judging panel that consisted of Chirlane McCray, poet, speechwriter, activist, and First Lady of New York City; Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue and Creative Director of Condé Nast; Zac Posen, fashion designer; Fred Wilson, conceptual artist; and Max Hollein, Director of The Met. All revenue from sales will support The Met's education projects. More information is at metmuseum.org/150/contest. Additionally, The Met Store will launch a designer capsule collection in April 2020 with exclusive products inspired by The Met.
The Museum will release a limited-edition print portfolio created by a select group of contemporary artists. On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, The Met invited artist Robert Rauschenberg to make a limited-edition print. This important work, titled Centennial Certificate MMA, is held in the collection of The Met and numerous other public institutions and will be featured in the exhibition Making The Met, 1870–2020. Fifty years later, the Museum is expanding on this idea and producing a portfolio of limited-edition original prints created by a small group of international artists of diverse backgrounds, interests, and styles who all have a history with The Met. The 150th-anniversary print portfolio is being co-published by Sharon Coplan Hurowitz and produced by the legendary artists' workshop Gemini GEL. It will be sold exclusively in The Met's Mezzanine Gallery Store in 2020.
A special edition of the Metropolitan Museum Journal—an annual publication that serves as a forum for scholarly findings about works in The Met collection—will be dedicated to the Museum's 150th anniversary. Journal 55 will explore how global currents in art history shaped the creation of The Met and how, in turn, The Met has itself shaped the field of art history in the United States and internationally. It will include essays originating from a symposium on June 5, 2020, and will be available in The Met Store starting December 2021.
The Journal is made possible by a gift from Assunta Sommella Peluso, Ada Peluso, and Romano I. Peluso, in memory of Ignazio Peluso.
Other Major Exhibitions in 2020
The Met's robust exhibition lineup for 2020 includes several major, international loan exhibitions. These include Sahel: Art and Empires on the Shores of the Sahara (January 29–May 10, 2020), Gerhard Richter: Painting After All (March 4–July 5, 2020 at The Met Breuer), Art at the Tudor Courts (October 6, 2020–January 10, 2021), Tree and Serpent: Early Buddhist Art in India, 200 B.C.–A.D. 400 (November 10, 2020–February 14, 2021), and Cubism and the Trompe l'Oeil Tradition (November 24, 2020–February 28, 2021). Additional highlights include Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle (June 2–September 7, 2020), Collecting Inspiration: Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co. (July 7–October 4, 2020), and a number of other major presentations that will be announced throughout 2020.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens—businessmen and financiers as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day—who wanted to create a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. Today, The Met displays tens of thousands of objects covering 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in three iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer, and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online. Since its founding, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing both new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures. metmuseum.org
Activities related to The Met's 150th anniversary will be featured on The Met's website at metmuseum.org/150.

Q: Issue in uploading images to MySQL database using PHP I have this php code to upload image to the database, I have issue
with it and I don't know what is it, the database table name is
images and the fields are id, name VARCHAR(), photo LONGBLOB.
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$servername = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
//$host = "";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
<html>
<body>
    <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="file" name="image"/>
        </br>
        </br>
        </br>
        <input type="submit" name="go" value="Upload"/>
    </form>
    <?php
        if(isset($_POST['go'])){
            if(getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) == FALSE){
                echo "Select a photo please";
            }else {
                $image = addslashes($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
                $name = addslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
                $image = file_get_contents($image);
                $image = base64_encode($image);
                save_image($image , $name);
            }
        }
        function save_image($image , $name){
            $servername = "localhost";
            $username = "cl60-shooters";
            $password = "dbsjcNs-b";
            $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
            $qry = "insert into images (photo , name) VALUES ('$image','$name')";
            $result = mysqli_query($conn,$qry);

            if($result){
                echo "Successfull upload";
            }else{
                echo "try Again";
                print_r($result);
            }

        }

        ?>
</body>
</html>

The result is as shown in the attached screenshot:
Result

A: Your function neglects to mention the database - you need to supply that as one of the parameters, like:
function save_image($image , $name){
    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "cl60-shooters";
    $password = "dbsjcNs-b";
    $database='xxxxxxxx';/* enter correct db name */

    $conn = new mysqli( $servername, $username, $password, $database );
    $qry = "insert into images (`photo`, `name`) VALUES ('$image','$name')";
    $result = mysqli_query($conn,$qry);

    if($result){
        echo "Successfull upload";
    }else{
        echo "try Again";
        print_r($result);
    }
}

FYI that said your code is vulnerable to sql injection - better to use prepared statements!

A: You're not using database name in the mysqli constructor. It should be like the following:
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "cl60-shooters";
$password = "dbsjcNs-b";
$database = "database_name_here";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);

Hope it should work now.

Research Vision and Mission
Our human are mostly made of biological hydrogels. They are active, responsive, and have the ability to self-heal or self-recover after injuries. In addition to these biological functionalities, people am highly impressed by their unprecedented mechanical properties, such as high strength, high fracture toughness and anti-fatigue properties while maintaining superior compliance and high water content. This is a schematic of human knee joint autonomy. When a human is walking, both cartilage and meniscus need to sustain nearly the whole human weight with stress as high as MPa. They are soft when contact at small deformations but stiffen drastically at moderate deformations, giving anti-wearing property. Unlike combined compressive-shear loading in meniscus and cartilage, tendon serves to connect muscle with bone for extensional tensile loading, which is a more severe loading stress state to break. For American, data shows that the walking step per day is 3000 – 4000 on average, which is corresponding to millions of steps per year.
On the other hand, although various molecular and macromolecular engineering approaches have replicated parts of biological muscles' characteristics, none of them can synergistically replicate combinational attributes (i.e., high strength, high toughness, high water content, superior compliance) in one single material system as natural tissues. The well-known tough hydrogels are heterogeneous in chain size but quite uniform in macro scale, which is drastically different from that of biological tissues that exhibit heterogeneity and hierarchical alignment across length scales.
The central goal through my PhD research is to design tissue-like hydrogels by understanding extreme mechanics in soft materials, for transforming into various engineering applications. Understanding nature, applying mechanics, designing materials for engineering applications are the central threads governing my PhD work.
1, How nature designs tough tissues? (Bio-mechanics)
2, How to design tissue-like hydrogels? (Material Science)
3, What's the principle of design anti-fatigue-fracture hydrogels: fracture beyond atomic bonds or amorphous chains? (Mechanics)
4, How to transform tissue-like hydrogels for versertile applications? (Design, Fabrication, and Manufacturing)
Understand Extreme Mechanics in Soft Materials
Design of Anti-fatigue-fracture Hydrogels
Existing tough hydrogels still suffer from fatigue fracture under multiple cycles of mechanical loads, because the resistance to fatigue-crack propagation after prolonged cycles of loads is the energy required to fracture a single layer of polymer chains (i.e., the intrinsic fracture energy of the hydrogel), which is unaffected by the additional dissipation mechanisms introduced in tough hydrogels. The reported fatigue thresholds of various tough hydrogels are in the order of 1-100 Joul per meter square. In our recent work, we demonstrate that the controlled introduction of nanocrystalline domains (Science Advances, 2019) and nanofibrils (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019) in hydrogels can significantly enhance their fatigue thresholds, since the process of fracturing crystalline domains and nanofibrils for fatigue-crack propagation requires much higher energy than fracturing a single layer of polymer chains.
Harnessing Elastic Instabilities in Confined Layers
Soft elastic layers can be commonly observed in biological glues and joints such as mussel thread, barnacle on the rock and tendon, ligament on the bone. The stressed elastic layer for engineering applications includes hydrogel glue on glass, suture-less adhesive on bioloigical tissues and stressed rubber layers in bearing joints. They undergo severe mechanical tensile loading and may form undulation instabilities at the interface. In our recent work, we discover a new mode of instability, fringe instability (Soft Matter, 2016), which forms at the layer's exposed surfaces but is localized at the constrained fringes portion. We further systematically study the formation, transition, interaction and co-existence of fringe, fingering and cavitation (Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2017). The initial occurrence mode of instability can be determined by both geometry and mechanical properties of the elastic layer through two non-dimensional parameters: layer's lateral dimension over its thickness and elastocapillary length over the defect size. Both fringe instability and fingering instability can be delayed and even suppressed by the strain stiffening of soft materials (International Journal of Solids and Structures, 2018).
Design Hydrogels with Unprecedented Properties
Design Hydrogels with High Toughness: Build Dissipation into Stretchy Networks
Our first work is to propose a general design principle for designing tough hydrogels: build dissipation into stretchy network (Soft Matter, 2014). The principle is when crack propagates, the scission of long polymer chains give intrinsic toughening at nano meter scale, meanwhile the materials around crack tip at mm scale undergoes loading unloading process, which gives large portion of additional dissipation to retard crack propagation as extrinsic toughening. We further develop a numerical model and derive a scaling equation for this principle (Extreme Mechanics Letter, 2015). The model, equation, and design principle is universal and can be applied to various polymer candidates across wide length scales (e.g., fiber reinforced hydrogel composites) (Soft Matter, 2014).
Design Hydrogels with High Resilience: Delayed Dissipation
Resilience is a property that is seemingly contradictory with high toughness because high resilience means a material has the ability to absorb energy when deformed and release the same amount of energy upon unloading. We propose a bio-inspired delayed dissipation principle for designing hydrogels with both high resilience and high toughness (Extreme Mechanics Letter, 2014).
3D Printing of Tough and Stretchable Hydrogels into Cellularized Structures
Living tissues usually have high fracture toughness in order to withstand substantial internal and external mechanical loads. The high toughness of tissues challenges researchers to design hydrogels capable of achieving similar toughness in order to withstand physiological mechanical loads. Despite recent success in developing tough hydrogels, the fabrication of these hydrogels often involves toxic chemicals and/or harsh
reactions, limiting their capability to encapsulate cells. In addition, it is desirable to fabricate cell-embedded hydrogels with macroporous architecture conducive to generation of complex tissues. While 3D printing offers rapid prototyping and can print hydrogels into complex 3D structures for functions such as vascular networks and aortic valves, it has not been possible to print tough hydrogels into complex structures other than simple and flat ones such as dog-bone sample. Our work demonstrate a tough hydrogel comprised of PEG and sodium alginate that can be used for cell encapsulation (Advanced Materials, 2015), which has a fracture toughness above 1500 J m−2, making it tougher than natural cartilage and yet with water content (≈77.5 wt%) that is tunable and within the physiologically acceptable range.
We further develop a new method and material system capable of 3D-printing hydrogel inks with programed bacterial cells as responsive components into large-scale (3 cm), high-resolution (30 μm) living materials, where the cells can communicate and process signals in a programmable manner (Advanced Materials, 2018). Novel living devices are further demonstrated, enabled by 3D printing of programed cells, including logic gates, spatiotemporally responsive patterning, and wearable devices.
Explore Engineering Applications of Tissue-like Hydrogels
Ingestible Hydrogel Gastro-retentive Devices
Machines that interactive with living organisms are typically made of metals, silicon, ceramics, and plastics.Implantation of such machines for long-term monitoring or treatment generally requires invasive procedures. Hydrogels offer new opportunities for human-machine interaction due to their superior mechanical compliance and biocompatibility. Additionally, oral administration, coupled with gastric residency, serves as a non-invasive alternative to implantation. Achieving gastric residency with hydrogels requires the hydrogels to swell very rapidly and to withstand gastric mechanical forces over time. However, high swelling ratio, high swelling speed, and long term robustness do not coexist in existing hydrogels. In our recent work, we introduce a puffer-fish inspired hydrogel machine that can be ingested as a standard-sized pill (diameter of 1-1.5 cm), rapidly imbibe water and inflate (up to 100 times in 10 min) into a large soft ball (diameter of up to 6 cm, modulus of 3 kPa), and maintain robustness under repeated mechanical loads in the stomach over a long time (more than 26,000 cycles of 20 N force over two weeks) (Nature communications, 2019). The hydrogel ingestible device can be used as gastric-retentive device with versatile capabilities of prolonged drug release, body signals monitoring, and on-demand disintegration, offering opportunities to transform diagnosis, management, and monoitoring of health and disease associated with GI tract.
Stretchable Hydrogel Electronics
Owing to the weak and brittle nature of common synthetic hydrogels, existing hydrogel electronics and devices mostly suffer from the limitation of low mechanical robustness and low stretchability. On the other hand, while hydrogels with extraordinary mechanical properties, or so-called tough hydrogels, have been recently developed, it is still challenging to fabricate tough hydrogels into stretchable electronics and devices capable of novel functions. The design of robust, stretchable, and biocompatible hydrogel electronics and devices represents a critical challenge in the emerging field of soft materials, electronics, and devices. In this work, we report a set of new materials and methods to integrate stretchable conductors, rigid electronic components, and drug-delivery channels and reservoirs into biocompatible, and tough hydrogel matrices that contain significant amounts of water (e.g., 70–95 wt%) (Advanced Materials, 2015).

The Foundation of La Jolla High School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in 1983 to bridge the gap between what La Jolla High School receives each year from the San Diego Unified School District and what it actually needs to fund the top-ranked public education that is offered to ALL LJHS students.
Approximately two-thirds of all donations received by the Foundation are "restricted", which means they are earmarked by the donors for a specific academic department, athletic team or campus improvement project. The balance of the raised funds are "unrestricted" or "general" funds, which come from our annual "Quest for Success" campaign in the fall, as well as various other fundraising events held throughout the year. Unrestricted donations are critical to the school's success because they give the administration a flexible source of funds to meet unexpected needs for which no other funding is available, particularly in the area of academics.
Partial or complete funding of: College Admissions Specialist; Additional Security Guard; Advisors for Associated Student Government; Conditioning Coach; Athletic Director; We End Violence Program; School Dance Safety Equipment; Advisors for Music/Band, Journalism, Yearbook, Drama; Science Team; Supplemental Classroom Supplies and Materials; First Aid/Training Supplies; Teacher Professional Development (including AVID) and Journalism.
Scientific Probeware for field studies; Textbooks; Library/Class Novels; Turn-It-In Software; Science Classroom Lab Supplies and Equipment; Construction Tech (Woodshop) Safety Equipment; Science Olympiad; Biomedical Pathways Internships; Academic Tournament Fees; Theater Script Rights; Robotics Team; Marching Band Equipment and Expenses.
Uniforms; Practice Gear; Equipment and Supplies; Tournament Fees; Facility Rentals; Coaches and Referees/Officials Fees; Team Travel.
General Campus Maintenance and Improvements; Additional Landscaping; Athletic Facility Upgrades and Equipment; Auditorium Marquee; Tennis Court Improvements; Windscreens; Stadium Speakers; Fence Repair.
Major fundraisers for unrestricted funds: "Quest for Success" Annual Campaign ($156k); Dine Out ($5k); Spring Gala ($58k); Golf Tournament ($17k); Amazon Smile/Benefits Mobile ($2k).
Music/Marching Band ($20k); Science ($17k); Robotics ($5k); Academic League ($1k); Languages ($1k); Miscellaneous/Other Donations ($2k).
LJHS currently fields boys and girls Varsity and JV teams in all 27 CIF sports. Not a single sport or team is fully funded by the District, and in some cases the District provides no funding at all. As a result, each team's expenses must be covered through a combination of donations and fundraising. In 2017-2018, specific donations and fundraising for all sports totaled $435,000.
Donations are directed to general campus maintenance or specific projects such as the Auditorium ($14k), Athletic Facilities ($2k) and other miscellaneous areas ($1k).

Shields drops MMA bout for 1st loss as pro fighter
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Claressa Shields has suffered the first defeat of her professional fighting career.
In her second MMA bout, Shields was outpointed by Abigail Montes via split decision on Wednesday at Hard Rock Live. One judge scored the bout for Shields, 29-28, overruled by two 29-28 tallies for Montes.
The loss is the first for Shields (1-1 in MMA) since 2012 when she dropped a decision to Savannah Marshall in an Olympic qualifying tournament.
"MMA, while a combat sport, its striking with the hands is much different than boxing," Shields' longtime boxing promoter Dmitry Salita, told ESPN. "She is a great boxer and a learning MMA fighter. I do think this experience will make Claressa a better boxer.
"She is an athlete in the peak of her career that is trying to challenge herself in every way. That's what we saw in the cage tonight, but the ring is a much different dance."
The 26-year-old Shields, who made her MMA debut successfully in June with a third-round TKO of Brittney Elkin, showed an improved wrestling game in her second outing, but was also facing stiffer competition.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist boxer came out firing overhand rights but many missed their mark as the 21-year-old Mexican dipped and dodged. The three-division boxing champion won the opening round on all three scorecards.
However, Montes (3-0) took over afterward. She scored a takedown of Shields in Round 2, and even after the boxer connected with a big right hand, Montes recovered well.
Montes scored another takedown in the third round, and this time, took advantage with a bundle of punches. The final minute of the fight was spent with Montes on top in ground-and-pound as the horn sounded to end the contest.
The Flint, Michigan, native plans to return to the ring on Dec. 11 in England in a defense of her unified middleweight championship against Ema Kozin. Marshall, the last woman to beat Shields (11-0, 2 KOs) in a boxing ring, will also compete on the card, a prelude to a fight with Shields for the undisputed 160-pound championship next year.

The Affair TV Review
The Affair – Season 5 Episode 1
By Nadim Safieddine September 2, 2019 September 12, 2019
2 Comments on The Affair – Season 5 Episode 1
"Do you ever wonder why? Why I'm so resilient? Because ten years ago, you walked out on our lives and left me alone with four children to go fuck a waitress you'd just met in a restaurant. And I had to raise these kids by myself. And I had to rebuild my life by myself. I had to be resilient. And for you to say that to me, like it was some kind of choice. You know who had a choice? You."
And we have finally arrived. Season five will be The Affair's last season, and honestly, it's time.
That's not to say the show is dwindling in quality. Although the third season was a grave misstep, season four was absolutely jaw-dropping television in every way. But with the exit of two of the show's original cast members (Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson), it feels like the right time to end the show. This season premiere is not mind-blowing, but it's solid enough to keep me optimistic for the year ahead.
First off, let's thank the Lord that we still have Maura Tierney. Had this astonishing actress left the show this season, then I probably would have as well. Helen is by far my utmost favorite character, so I'm ecstatic that we'll get to see how her journey ends this year. Watching her navigate Vik's death (which was just bone-chilling and so gut-wrenchingly portrayed), his overbearing mother, Sierra giving birth, and her conflicted feelings towards Noah means a wealth of meaty material for Helen to sift through. And Tierney? Well she juggles it all perfectly. I can't wait to see what project the actress tackles next after The Affair comes to a close.
So where does the episode falter? Well, the flashforwards with an adult Joanie are certainly ambitious, but all the futuristic touches are just very distracting. This is a realistic, down to earth show, so it's just jarring to see random touch screens and that bizarre indoor garden. True Blood star Anna Paquin is fine in the role, but I'll try to reserve judgement for now as I'm eager to watch her uncover the mystery behind her mother's death.
A compelling albeit slightly-flawed season premiere.

Meet federal surge hiring needs and attract the best candidates by rewriting agencies' recruiting playbook.
Faced with implementing some 55 executive orders, a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan, and a host of other ambitious initiatives and programs, the federal government is rapidly looking to hire thousands of qualified new employees.
During periods of surge hiring—when an unusual volume of new employees is needed in a short period of time—federal agencies generally focus on strengthening their current structures and processes to handle the increased volume of applicants. However, too many agencies assume their default mode of "post and pray" will result in a sufficient number of qualified individuals applying for open positions. Agencies also often rely on the misguided notion that the longer a job announcement is posted, the more applicants it will attract. In practice, the percentage of quality candidates diminishes over time.
In October 2020, the Partnership for Public Service released its Rapid Reinforcements: Strategies for Federal Surge Hiring research report that explores basic strategies to shore up surge hiring capabilities. In addition to the new mission requirements, the report examines emergency responses, large-scale attrition, and emergent skills as catalysts for rapid workforce growth. The report recommends three basic strategies centering on strategic use of hiring authorities, implementation of a recruiting infrastructure, and integration of a project management approach to surge hiring.
As a follow-up to the report, the Partnership for Public Service worked with a few federal agencies to pilot the strategies with a focus on a recruitment infrastructure. During the information-gathering phase of our agency engagements, both HR professionals and hiring managers said they believed there were enough applicants to meet hiring needs, but hiring managers acknowledged their desire to see during the interview process a greater number of candidates who exceeded the minimum qualifications.
When there is a small surplus of candidates who exceed the minimum qualifications—even during a surge hiring initiative—hiring managers can consider how candidate knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) may meet future as well as immediate mission needs. When there is a lack of depth, however, agencies may find themselves searching for more talent sooner than expected to meet emerging needs.
To simplify the interdependent activities for hiring managers and those involved in the process who may not be familiar with the federal government's complex talent acquisition model, we used a basic recruiting framework or road map during our agency engagements. It is based on the four steps talent acquisition professionals often take in their recruiting efforts: planning for a hiring initiative, identifying talent sources, attracting potential applicants to the organization and job announcements, and engaging individuals throughout the process.
Using the framework can improve agencies' surge hiring capabilities, which has the added benefit of improving their normal recruiting practices.
Step 1: Plan
Planning comprises workforce plan utilization, strategic recruitment planning, position description management, collaboration between HR professionals and hiring managers, and the applicant tracking system.
Planning is essential but often treated as a nice-to-have option in the face of competing priorities. As a result, the Partnership for Public Service has generated a strategic recruitment plan template to help facilitate the planning process.
The template serves as both a recruitment guide and a project management template to help agencies proactively identify resources and align efforts across functions. It includes guiding questions to help identify appropriate milestones and hiring authorities, key strategic metrics to track, ideas around diversifying recruitment events, and practical advice on engaging candidates during the lengthy federal hiring process.
During our agency engagements, we noticed that application screening was limited to two ratings: does not meet minimum qualifications and meets minimum qualifications. That turns out to be the norm in many federal agencies, while most private sector organizations have at least three ratings: does not meet minimum qualifications, meets minimum qualifications, and exceeds minimum qualifications.
In job announcements, agencies use the list of specialized skills or preferred qualifications as the threshold for rating applicants as exceeding the minimum qualifications. But by not including both minimum qualifications and specialized skills in a job announcement, HR professionals are required by law to lump the most-qualified applicants onto the same certification list as the minimally qualified, which can be more than 100 individuals depending on the open position.
Consequently, that requires hiring managers to develop their own approaches to ranking the list of qualified candidates they receive from HR. Although some hiring managers are capable of that task, too many lack a consistent and efficient approach to ranking applicants. Because time is even more critical during a surge hiring initiative, the additional rating would enable hiring managers to initiate the interview process faster because they will screen fewer applications and be better able to identify the most-qualified candidates.
At one agency, we co-designed and piloted a two-session series around talent acquisition for which HR professionals and hiring managers equally populated each cohort. The sessions' purpose was to analyze existing recruiting strategies and hiring processes, discuss applicable government-wide best practices, and calibrate on specific touchpoints where stakeholders can clarify their expectations. The sessions strengthened cohesion between the functions, developed a shared understanding of existing challenges and paths forward, and uncovered practical opportunities to improve the candidate experience.
Step 2: Source
Sourcing refers to finding and cultivating relationships with talent pipelines. Talent from varied sources can not only meet but often exceed job announcements' minimum qualifications.
A lack of pre-established talent sources—such as college and university alumni groups and professional trade organizations—often catches up with agencies during surge hiring initiatives, especially when it comes to hiring people of color and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics occupational series. Federal agencies that lack strong talent sources should not forego building new ones during hiring surges.
In a way, it may be an advantageous time to start a new relationship. When an agency hires multiple candidates from one source, it demonstrates to members that their KSAs are needed and consequently increases the individuals' interest in the agency when considering career opportunities.
When building relationships with new talent sources or strengthening connections with existing ones, agencies should focus on developing deeper relationships with a smaller number of talent sources. Agencies often associate their expansive list of talent sources with the depth and potential quality of applicants, which is a misperception, especially if the extent of the relationship is limited to posting open positions on each source's job board. If agencies concentrate their efforts toward a limited number of talent sources whose members' KSAs and social identities align with workforce gaps, the hiring organizations will see a larger return on investment from recruiting efforts and a greater depth in candidate quality.
To ensure stronger bonds with talent sources, one agency relies on current employees to act as its ambassadors. The employees are members of different talent sources, such as university or college alumni groups and professional societies. In addition, some hiring managers are frequent guest speakers at higher education institutions and trade organizations. To optimize those individuals' ability to attract other members to the agency, it developed volunteer recruiter workshops that equipped staff with the skills to tell their own story of why they like working at the organization, tips and tricks around leveraging social media, and how to effectively talk about career opportunities in an engaging way.
Step 3: Attract
Attraction encompasses all efforts to elevate awareness of the organization's work, culture, and job opportunities. The end game is to convert interested individuals into applicants. Agencies can source systematically, but attracting talent requires agility to keep pace with trends, including nuances in content consumption across occupational series.
The True Size of Government, an issue paper by the Volcker Alliance, states that USAJobs "has become home to a seething group of confused and angry job seekers and fulfills a main purpose for a limited set of people desperately seeking any kind of employment or those who don't really know what job they seek." USAJobs can no longer serve as the sole, or even primary, platform for agencies' recruiting efforts, especially during surge hiring initiatives.
One of the best approaches for agencies to cultivate a digital ecosystem for recruiting is to use their career webpage as the hub for all content. That entails linking to USAJobs announcements and all social media platforms, as well as adding more substantive information about the agency culture and work. Including additional information around the federal hiring process is especially important for nonfederal employee audiences.
The US Department of Veterans Affairs has one of the most comprehensive and engaging career pages in the federal government. It includes many of the essential details potential applicants need to make an informed decision about pursuing a career at VA.
For example, its nursing career page describes the role in plain language, identifies the varying career paths within the occupation, and explains how the role connects to the agency's mission. The page also includes videos that illustrate a typical day (a day in the life) from different perspectives. Just as important, VA provides information about total compensation, in particular nonmonetary benefits such as tuition reimbursement, which many agencies under-promote when competing with the private sector for talent.
Step 4: Engage
A Sherpa's role is to carry supplies, ensure the path ahead is navigable, set up and break down camp, and support hikers along the trek, to name a few responsibilities. The fittest and most skilled climbers could not ascend and descend Mount Everest without a guide to show them the way and provide a helping hand through the toughest passages. The comparison to federal hiring may be an exaggeration, but why aren't more agencies hiring or contracting recruiters to engage candidates, especially if an agency's ability to deliver on its mission is dependent on talent?
Such trained professionals can help to increase the depth of candidate pools as well as improve retention throughout the recruiting and hiring processes. Many agencies are coming to the realization that they can no longer expect HR professionals to manage the recruiting and hiring processes because many of those individuals lack the bandwidth and skills to be proficient in both.
The General Service Administration's Technology Transformation Services has improved its talent acquisition capability by creating a recruiting team comprising nine people, including recruiters, a recruiting coordinator, a sourcing strategist, and an onboarding lead. The team partners with the agency's HR office. TTS recruiters talk to potential applicants, shepherd candidates through phone screens and interviews, and stay in close contact with them until the start of the security clearance process, which is when the onboarding lead becomes the primary point of contact.
There are multiple ways to build a recruiting shop. Some agencies hire contractors to establish an infrastructure and then convert them to full-time staff as their results garner more support from leadership. Others prefer to upskill and reskill current HR professionals through a mix of internal development and external certification courses.
Regardless of whether an agency has a dedicated recruiting team, there is no excuse for not communicating to candidates at minimum the timeline for milestone decisions. Candidates should not feel like they are pouring their energy into a black hole. And for agencies with a lengthy security clearance process, it may help to have hiring managers add monthly five-minute check-in calls with candidates who received a conditional offer to keep them engaged. Most importantly, agencies cannot effectively assess how well they are doing without measuring the candidate experience in the first place.
No more going through the motions
Strategic planning is critical for federal agencies to identify and engage the right talent, which will enable the organizations to estimate the time needed to solicit enough applicants to ensure a desired depth of quality talent in the shortest period of time.
In a resource-starved function like HR, playing it safe by following the normal recruiting playbook will not meet surge hiring needs. Whether it's upgrading the country's decaying infrastructure or integrating long-overdue equity practices into the delivery of public services, the surge hiring efforts associated with those policy initiatives should not turn into another process that simply goes through the motions. Surge hiring requires planning, sourcing and attracting highly qualified applicants, and engaging with those candidates as they go through the hiring process.
Metrics to Start Tracking
The time-to-hire metric is considered the key performance indicator for all talent acquisition work, but there are other metrics that agencies need to track to gain a more holistic view of recruiting efforts. Below are varying metrics for agencies to monitor and establish benchmarks as they make adjustments to improve recruiting capabilities.
Application completion rate measures the user-friendliness of platforms, efficacy of instructions, and interest of applicants in the job announcement and agency.
Source channel effectiveness measures how many individuals from a particular talent source responded to a job announcement in comparison to the number of members who attended an engagement (for example, job fairs, informational webinars, and live social media events).
Depth of candidate pool measures the percentage of applicants who exceed the minimum qualifications.
Candidate retention rate measures the number of candidates who remain in the process during each step or round of the hiring process. A hiring process metric that serves as an indicator of mitigative actions during recruiting efforts, such as the security clearance process, may take up to one year to complete.
