Adjaye said his study of San Antonio's Missions and other Spanish colonial architecture informed elements of the building's profile.

The two staircases that lead up to and down from the second-floor gallery begin and end at the same place in the lobby—a decision Adjaye calls "important in understanding the experience."

Ruby City is located in a formerly industrial area, where the old factory buildings are increasingly being converted into luxury condominiums.
The building is nestled onto a site just south of downtown San Antonio, next to the San Pedro Creek. A municipal improvement project for the waterway is slated to begin in 2020.

KEYWORDS San Antonio / Texas
Ruby City—the newly completed museum by Adjaye Associates in San Antonio, Texas—is quite literally the dream come true of its late benefactor, Linda Pace. Shortly before her death in 2007, the artist, collector, and philanthropist had a dream about a city made of rubies. She sketched her vision and shared it with David Adjaye, whom she had met through a mutual friend, the British filmmaker and artist Isaac Julien. Pace's drawing served as inspiration for a project that has now come to fruition.
The two-story, 14,000-square-foot structure is composed of a base for the lobby and offices, with a second level of angular, cantilevered forms for the galleries. "From very early on, we pursued this idea of the podium with the volumes on top, which is really taken almost directly from Linda's sketch," Adjaye told Architectural Record at a press preview of the museum, while explaining that his study of San Antonio's Spanish colonial architecture also informed elements of the building's profile. Nestled onto a site south of downtown, next to the San Pedro Creek, the edifice is surrounded by a plaza and sculpture garden. Alamo Architects, a local firm familiar well acquainted with the area, served as architect of record on the project.

True to its name, Ruby City is clad in precast-concrete panels that are bright red. Fabricated in Mexico, they include chips of red and red-orange glass that sparkle in the intense Texas sun. The dynamism of the exterior is enhanced by varied surface textures, with the lower panels polished to a high shine and the upper panels left with a rough, exposed aggregate finish. For continuity, the exterior entry court and interior lobby floor were poured using the same concrete mix as the panels.
While the front plaza is blindingly bright, the entrance to the building, covered by a cantilevered second-floor gallery, is relatively dark. A single shaft of light cuts through the shaded vestibule from a James Turrell–like opening. Inside the glass front doors, dark red walls and the polished red concrete floor further enhance the drama of moving from the outside in. In this darkened transitional space, Adjaye aims to "open your eyes, dilate your pupils." Heading into the rest of the museum, "You're then able to look at the color of the light," he said, " because your eyes have opened. And then we go up into the experience."
A sun-drenched stairway with white walls and blackened-metal handrails leads to the second-floor landing, where one encounters the first of several large, glazed openings. A pair of horizontal windows looks east toward Chris Park, a one-acre oasis Pace opened in 2005 in memory of her late son, Christopher Goldsbury, where multiple works by artist Teresita Fernández meld with the landscape. In the surrounding neighborhood, visitors can also see other "products of the 20th century," Adjaye joked, including power lines and industrial buildings and warehouses.

The 10,000 square feet of exhibition space are divided into three large galleries. The first two, with high ceilings of sloping planes, are illuminated from above by clerestory windows covered with expanded metal mesh, while the third gallery, which Adjaye describes as a "20th-century box," has a flat 16-foot ceiling and a pair of horizontal windows that can be blacked out if necessary. (The inaugural exhibit will include an immersive video piece by Julien; Pace's collection of the artist's work is the largest in the world.)
Throughout the galleries, the matte gray concrete floors are pulled ¾-inch away from the white walls, forming a 3-inch-deep channel alongside the slab—a subtle but elegant detail that allows cords to be hidden and also imparts a sense of groundedness.
The openings between rooms usher visitors smoothly from one gallery to the next, terminating in an exit staircase to the lobby, facing the stair one first ascended to enter. "It's a journey, and starting and ending in exactly the same place is important in understanding the experience," Adjaye said. "What I've done is to wrap that in a loop that hopefully feels natural."
On the lower level, staff offices face the sculpture garden where Nancy Rubin's 1997 piece entitled 5,000 lbs. of Sonny's Airplane Parts, Linda's Place, and 550 lbs. of Tire-Wire stands. But the best view of this artwork is from the conference room, dubbed the "jewel box" by Adjaye, which is off-limits to the public. A set of orangey-red fiberboard doors, created by artist Jorge Pardo, adorn the entrance. The room is wrapped in panels of reclaimed longleaf pine and anchored by a 2,500-pound polished-concrete table, designed by the architect. "The trustees wanted a beautiful space that would be a memorial to Linda," says Kelly O'Connor, head of the museum's collections and communications, who began working with Pace in 2006 as her studio assistant and registrar. "David took that vision and elevated it."
For some, the building may call to mind the nearby public library by Ricardo Legorreta (1995)—another monumental, geometric red-orange structure. But similarities between the two end there: the library's painted exterior is bright but static while Adjaye's building glitters. And where Legorreta's work has become alienated from its urban context by a closed-off street presence and road-bound site, Ruby City's location offers an opportunity to connect disparate parts of the community.
Situated in a formerly industrial area, where old factories are increasingly being converted into luxury condominiums, the building's entrance points away from those developments and toward the historically less affluent parts of town. With free admission, a slate of public and family-oriented events planned for its October opening, and a staff prepared to offer bilingual tours of the collection, the institution seems poised to fulfill Pace's dream of being, as O'Connor puts it, "a gift to the people of San Antonio."
Pace lived in the Alamo City most of her life. Her parents founded Pace Foods in the late 1940s, which she and her then-husband grew into a multi-million-dollar enterprise. In 2005, she opened a contemporary-art residency program and gallery called Artpace in downtown San Antonio. Now, more than a decade after her death, the completion of Ruby City is the fulfillment of her wish to share her collection of more than 900 largely contemporary works. (That number is still growing under the direction of Ruby City's trustees.) "It's extraordinary to see this realized," says O'Connor, "and to know that we were able to stay true to the sketch of the dream Linda had."

Cancer individuals are told that maintaining hydrated is a single of the most crucial issue you need to have for your body. But you can make mouthwatering flavored milks with fruit or low-cal extracts just follow the recipes in this story. This does not mean excluding the sugar and caffeine – occasionally you want a increase and caffeine is a really well known sports drink that benefits efficiency – see Benefits of Coffee and Caffeine for Team Sports and Fitness center Workouts.
Very first factors 1st – just before we go into explaining the benefits of health drinks we really should distinguish two varieties. If you know how to make juice, shake or a smoothie you will know how to make a health drink as effectively. If you are one of those who are into healthy drinks, the greatest way to make sure that you are acquiring vitamins and minerals with damaging chemical substances is to drink all-natural-based drinks such as coconut water. Men and women who react to caffeine need to opt for a single of the decaffeinated soft drinks that are accessible.
If you have troubles with urinary continence , cutting down on caffeine by changing to low-caffeine tea and coffee, fruit or herbal teas, or other forms of drinks can in some cases support. Given that they are specially formulated to contain vitamins and minerals, the companies charge higher for their health drinks. Marketers claim that so called sports drinks quickly replenish the water and electrolytes lost by athletes.
But due to the fact most people do not get basically brewed teas or coffees, and these are commonly broadly known to be healthier, I will be focusing on the much more complex drinks that are offered at Starbucks, the Smoothies, Refreshers, Macchiatos, Lattes, and Frappuccinos. It is difficult for kids who don't drink milk to get the bone-building calcium and vitamin D they require with no a lot of added calories or fat.

Ancient Chinese have lengthy believed in the rewards of drinking natural health drinks to boost one's health disposition. Cutting down on these drinks is a great way of lowering the number of calories you consume although not missing out on any nutrients.

Matt Coppin and Ita McMahon, from the financial advice team at our #MOTMyMoney competition partner Castlefield, discuss the opportunity presented by Earth Day to ask 5 simple questions of your investment and pension provider.
Originating in the US in 1970 to raise awareness of environmental issues, this weekend's Earth Day is the world's largest civic observance with one billion people participating in 200 countries.
In the run-up, the UK press had the obligatory articles on how individuals can reduce their environmental footprint. Helpful in their own way, these checklists remind us to turn down the thermostat, use public transport and not to over-fill the kettle. Yet they neglect to mention one large area of our lives: personal finances. While many of us are happy to take social and environmental issues into account in our purchasing decisions – think Fairtrade or low carbon vehicles – this is far from mainstream practice when considering investment products.
Why is this? Partly because too many individuals still regard their pension or other investments as a Pandora's box. The recent government ad campaign "You know your latte from your flat white… but do you know your pension options?" will have struck a chord with many. And although the industry has done much to explain the investment process to the uninitiated – this Aviva clip, for example, is great – there's clearly much more work to do.
Another reason is the lack of public awareness around sustainable finance: take a look at the findings from this YouGov poll last year. To tackle this, there's talk of a kitemark for sustainable investment products.
In the here and now, and with Earth Day this weekend, there's one easy thing we can all do: ask questions. We can and should grill our pensions providers and fund managers on environmental risks and impacts.
Which companies does this fund invest in?
Does it employ any negative and/or positive screening?
How are environmental risks factored into investment decision-making?
What steps have been taken to reduce fossil fuel exposure?
How do you use your influence as investors to encourage companies to reduce their environmental impacts?
Armed with the answers, individuals can decide on the most appropriate course of action, be that switching to a more environmentally-astute fund, a screened fund or staying with the existing provider and exerting pressure along the investment chain. It's a cliché, but knowledge is power.
We've seen institutional investors, universities in particular, scrutinise the environmental footprint of their investments and take action accordingly. It's time for investment managers to see retail clients acting in a similar fashion. There's a lingering misconception that by focusing on responsible investment there will be a cost to performance. That doesn't have to be the case, as discussed in a recent article covered in Money Marketing magazine, where our colleague John Ditchfield argues that positive social and environmental management often goes hand-in-hand with performance.
We've seen the effectiveness of consumer action in other sectors: what's stopping us from doing the same in financial services? On this day dedicated to environmental and climate literacy, we can all do our bit to find out more about the impacts of the investments we hold.
Matthew is a financial advice executive at Castlefield, the responsible financial advice group.

What Is Bank Reconciliation Statement?
Bank Reconciliation statement is basically a statement that is prepared by organizations for reconciling the balance of cash at the bank, in its own record with the statement prepared by the bank on a specific date.
Bank Reconciliation statement is prepared because it ascertains that any discrepancy in the records is because of an error rather than the timing of the entry. All the errors and mistakes made either in the cash book or the books of the bank are revealed. It also indicates the delays in the clearance of the outstation cheques.
Another important purpose of preparing this statement is that it discourages the staff from committing any embezzlement.
A Bank reconciliation statement allows a person to compare their personal bank account record with the bank record of his account. This is done so that any possible discrepancies are removed.
It is very important to prepare this statement. This is because there are time differences between the time when data is entered in bank system and when it is entered on the individual's system. This can create difference between account balance. Reconciliation statement determines whether the discrepancy is because of error or time difference.
Bilal Ahmad answered
In business we keep our bank account in the cash book, as a part of the three column cash book, i.e. Bank account in the cash book means two bank columns on the both sides of two column or three column cash book. It is made up everyday, and we record in it (bank columns) all cheques received from our debtors and all cheques paid or issued to our creditors or suppliers. We shall also have several contra entries every month, recording excess cash paid in or cash drawn out when required for personal or office use. At the end of the month the cash book (bank column) balanced and the result is a bank balance, (as per cash book). Thus the cash book (bank columns) tells us, what our balance with the bank is on a particular date. In the same way, the bank also keeps a record of our bank account with the title "depositor's account" and enters into our account everyday what is paid in and what is drawn out. At the end of any day the bank will gladly tell us our bank balance (as per bank record), so two reciprocal accounts are kept in bank account (cash book) in books of the depositor and depositor's account in books of the bank. The balance shown by the two accounts (bank A/c and depositor's A/c) should be equal because when the bank account is debited (bank column of cash book is debited), the depositor's A/c is credited in the bank books and vice versa.
Jan Bay answered
A bank reconciliation gives a realistic bank balance where the statement that your bank sends you at the end of each month may not show activities like checks or deposits that were made after the cutoff date. Bank reconciliations are a good way to doublecheck your own figures as well as the bank's.
R Maye answered
It's a ledger or accounting of your transactions: Debits, credits, transaction fees etc. It helps you to balance your account against what the bank has. There is a month end cut off that you need to keep in mind when balancing.
The statement that provides the necessary information about the accounts maintained by both the parties that is the banker and the account holder who may be an individual or company.
Bring to agreement your book and bank balance......any discrepancy, whether a cash shortage or overage will call attention,....a material cash shortage may be due to theft....while cash overage may be due to mistakes on giving customers change....
In order to recognise the balance of the pass &cashbook a statement is prepared which indicate the reason of the difference between the 2 balances this statement is called bank reconciliation

Eustace & Lagana Demand Christie Stop Holding Residents of Atlantic City Hostage and Start Doing His Job
News & Releases State and Local Government Tourism, Gaming and the Arts
(TRENTON) — Assemblymen Timothy J. Eustace and Joseph A. Lagana (both D-Bergen/Passaic) on Thursday called on Gov. Chris Christie to do his job and use the tools already at his disposal to address the looming fiscal crisis facing Atlantic City:
Eustace:
"Holding an entire city of 39,000 New Jerseyans hostage because the governor refuses '…to negotiate with two sets of Democrats…' is, at best, a naked abdication of his gubernatorial responsibilities. And at worst, it is the decree of someone who would much rather be dictator than governor.
"Yet, despite the governor's best efforts, New Jersey remains a democracy, not a dictatorship. And as a democracy, we have the authority and the responsibility to stand against the governor's naked grab for power and demand that he do his job with the tools already in his possession.
"Because — make no mistake — as the Speaker has been saying for weeks, the governor already has the tools and the authority to save Atlantic City. He just inexplicably is choosing not to.
"And so, I add my voice to the Speaker's chorus and demand that Gov. Christie stop holding Atlantic City hostage; stop endangering the fiscal stability of the rest of the state; and start doing his job."
Lagana:
"The proposed state takeover of Atlantic City strikes at the very heart of good and equitable representation. Governor Christie's hardline stance on this issue is part of a divisive and faulty leadership strategy that includes a refusal to negotiate with the General Assembly.
"The governor claims Speaker Prieto stands in the way of Atlantic City's future. Yet, it is Governor Christie who twice vetoed bipartisan supported PILOT bills that would have provided immediate and necessary financial stabilization to Atlantic City.
"We should not allow the governor to hold worthy legislation hostage simply so he can attack the rights of public workers. Under the governor's plan, Atlantic City's first responders would face the immediate loss of all of their bargaining rights and many would probably lose their jobs. These are the same first responders who agreed to work most of the month of April without pay if this impasse is not resolved.
"Time and time again, Speaker Prieto has exhaustively detailed the existing tools at the Governor's disposal to help the city, including his appointed emergency manager, the state-run local finance board and the authority given to the Department of Community Affairs.
"Since my tenure began in the Assembly, Speaker Prieto has always been honest and open with the members and fair and deliberate in his positions. I applaud his efforts to negotiate in good faith, which the Assembly should be able to do as half of a co-equal branch of government.
"It is the Governor who has been unwilling to come to the table; therefore, it is he that stands in the way of progress. I respectfully call on him to change his course in this regard and do what is required for the people of Atlantic City and the State of New Jersey."

Q: Difference between "onMenuItemSelected" and "onOptionsItemSelected" can someone explain me the difference between:
onMenuItemSelected (int featureId, MenuItem item)
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onMenuItemSelected%28int,%20android.view.MenuItem%29
and
onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item)
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onOptionsItemSelected%28android.view.MenuItem%29
in Android? I found a tutorial were someone overrides both methods.
// Reaction to the menu selection
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.insert:
        createTodo();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.insert:
        createTodo();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Source: http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidSQLite/article.html

A: Android knows about several types of menus (e.g. Options Menu and Context Menu). onMenuItemSelected is the generic callback. You don't need to use this usually. onOptionsItemSelected is the callback of the options menu and onContextItemSelected is the callback of the context menu. Use these two specific ones instead.

A: Looking at the code, onMenuItemSelected can be called by a Options Menu (Menu button) click or by Context Menu click.
Basically it just forwards the clicks to the other corresponding methods.
Look at the code here: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/1.5_r4/android/app/Activity.java#2078

A: Using ADT 17 (version 4.2) the onOptionsItemSelected callback will allow the user to access menu options from any context including the Menu Button and the Action Bar.  As of Android version 3.0 the preferred method is the Action Bar which can be accessed from onMenuItemSelected.  If you are designing an app that supports versions 2.3 or earlier than onOptionsItemSelected is the way you want to go.

VIDEO FLASHBACK: Bill Clinton Groped Flight Attendant, ABC Shrugged It Off
By Geoffrey Dickens | October 6, 2018 10:00 AM EDT
Just imagine if there was video of Brett Kavanaugh groping a flight attendant – the footage would be all over the network and cable news shows right now. But when footage of President Bill Clinton grabbing a flight attendant's knee was revealed, it was only a small part of a 1998 ABC World News Tonight segment that praised then Clinton aide/confidante Bruce Lindsey.
CNN's Jake Tapper: Media Much More Supportive of Obama Than Trump
By Randy Hall | August 15, 2017 6:34 PM EDT
Most people in today's "mainstream media" almost never admit they have a liberal bias when covering the news, but Jake Tapper -- host of The Lead, a weekday program on the Cable News Network -- did just that during an interview with Andy Greene of the Rolling Stone magazine that was posted on Tuesday, August 15.
FLASHBACK: Lib Journalists Used L.A. Riots to Bash Conservatives
By Rich Noyes | May 2, 2017 5:15 PM EDT
Twenty-five years ago this week, South Central Los Angeles saw six days of rioting that left 58 citizens dead, more than 2,000 injured, and more than $1 billion in property damage. The May and June 1992 editions of the Media Research Center's MediaWatch newsletter chronicled how liberal journalists wasted little time in using the riots as an excuse to bash conservatives as racist and promote even more government spending.
The Media: Lemmings on Parade
By Seton Motley | April 25, 2017 8:48 AM EDT

Excerpt from 'Useful Idiots': Exposing the Liberal Media's Soft Spot for a Communist Tyrant
By Rich Noyes | December 3, 2016 10:58 AM EST
In her 2003 book, Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First, conservative writer Mona Charen offered an excellent juxtaposition of the horrors of the island prison Fidel Castro established with the fawning treatment he received from American journalists. Written after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the opening of the archives of the once totalitarian Eastern Bloc, Charen's book establishes the foolish and naive thinking that Western liberals — including many journalists — employed in their attempt to sugarcoat the realities of communism, including in Cuba.
VIDEO Fidel's Flatterers: The U.S. Media's Decades of Cheering Castro's Communism
By Rich Noyes | November 26, 2016 9:10 AM EST
Fidel Castro's communist regime executed hundreds of political opponents and drove tens of thousands more into exile; hundreds of dissidents today languish in Cuban prisons. Yet liberals in the U.S. media — who rightly condemned such abuses when perpetrated by dictators such as Chile's Augusto Pinochet — inexplicably remain enchanted with Castro and his socialist revolution. For almost 30 years, the Media Research Center has documented the liberal media's infatuation with Fidel Castro and Cuba's communism; details within.
VIDEO Flashback: Networks Hailed Clinton's 1994 Nuclear Deal with North Korea
The "Big Three" (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks have hailed the "historic" deal with Iran which was a described as a "major victory" for President Obama. The media, however, have a poor record when it comes to U.S. negotiations with rogue nations seeking nuclear weapons. In 1994, President Bill Clinton agreed to a deal with North Korea, an agreement which the networks at the time hailed as a sign that "the Cold War is really over."
VIDEO ABC's 'This Week' Criticizes Reagan's 'Tattered Civil Rights Image'
Monday is Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, and on Sunday morning, ABC's This Week decided it was the perfect opportunity to scold the Republican over his civil rights record. During the show's weekly "powerhouse puzzler" segment, guest host Martha Raddatz asked the This Week panel "which president signed a law making MLK's birthday a national holiday?" The ABC reporter then played a clip from ABC's report on the signing ceremony in which ABC's Sam Donaldson proclaimed "the president and Dr. King's widow walking into the Rose Garden together in an effort to spruce up Mr. Reagan's tattered civil rights image."
VIDEO 25 Years After the Berlin Wall, How the News Media Covered Communism

Twenty-five years ago, the largely peaceful revolutions of 1989 — epitomized by the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9 of that year — ended the grip of communism in Eastern Europe. Looking back at journalism's track record on communism, one finds a press that was too willing to act as a mouthpiece for the world's worst dictatorships, and too accepting of the perverse claim that communism meant safety and security for its people.
Dead Broke? ABC in 2000 Questioned Ethics of Hillary's 'Very Expensive' Book Advance
By Rich Noyes | June 10, 2014 11:40 AM EDT
Not even Diane Sawyer could refrain from gently pushing back at former Secretary of State and prospective presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's claim that she and her husband were "dead broke" when they left the White House in January 2001. Talking about the huge fees both Clintons now rake in for speaking engagements, Sawyer wondered: "Do you think Americans are going to understand five times the median income in this country for one speech?"
But Sawyer could easily have gone to ABC's own videotape library to show how preposterous Mrs. Clinton's claim of poverty was. Back on December 15, 2000 — more than a month before the Clintons left the White House — ABC's World News Tonight suggested the massive book advance for Hillary Clinton's post-White House memoir was astonishing and perhaps corrupt for an incoming United States Senator.

What They Said Then: How the Liberal Media Savaged Reagan
By Geoffrey Dickens | June 3, 2014 1:35 PM EDT
Thursday (June 5) marks the 10th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's passing and a look through the MRC's archives shows that during his presidency many in the liberal media couldn't withhold their contempt of the conservative icon.
From depicting Reagan as a puppet of the rich whose economic policies were cruel towards the poor and minorities, to denying his foreign policy vision helped lead to the downfall of the Soviet Union, the media did their best to trash the 40th President. The following is a look at the many ways the liberal media attempted to distort Reagan's record. (videos after the jump)
Ten Years Ago, 'The Passion' Ruckus Demonstrated Network TV's Hostility to Orthodox Christianity
By Tim Graham | April 18, 2014 1:26 PM EDT
Ten years ago, Mel Gibson unveiled his massively successful movie The Passion of The Christ. It came out on Ash Wednesday (February 25, 2004), but is often re-viewed on Good Friday. It had a worldwide box-office gross of over $611 million.
In our Special Report on religion coverage that year, we explored how the TV networks attacked Gibson's movie as extreme, divisive, and potentially harmful -- one CBS reporter even called it an "ecumenical suicide bomb" -- and how that differed from their fascination with theories in The DaVinci Code:

Design of an ultra low power third order continuous time current mode R modulator for WLAN applications
This paper presents a third order continuous time current mode RD modulator for WLAN 802.11b standard applications. The proposed circuit utilized feedback architecture with scaled and optimized DAC coefficients. At circuit level, we propose a modified cascade current mirror integrator with reduced input impedance which results in more bandwidth and linearity and hence improves the dynamic range. Also, a very fast and precise novel dynamic latch based current comparator is introduced with low power consumption.

Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design
I enjoyed reading this book for a number of reasons. One reason is that it addresses high-speed analog design in the context of microwave issues. This is an advanced level book, which should follow courses in basic circuits and transmission lines. Most analog integrated circuit designers in the past worked on applications at a low enough frequency that microwave issues did not arise. As a consequence, they were adept at lumped parameter circuits and often not comfortable with circuits where waves travel in space.

Over the past decade, there has been a prolific increase in the research, development and commercialisation of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and their associated technologies (see Figure 1). This rise has been a result of a number of contributing factors, including continued miniaturisation (leading towards an era of truly 'pervasive' and 'invisible' computing); low-power circuits, devices and computation (for example, the ultra-low-power sleep states now found in microcontrollers); and efficient short-range communication (such as ZigBee and Bluetooth).

Power management is, literally and metaphorically, the hottest area in computing and computing appliances. In 1965, while working at Fairchild Semiconductor, Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double approximately every two years.

FISA MEMO Released to the Public
Informant Christopher Steele was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected
February 2, 2018 DOJ, FBI, Featured 4
The controversial FISA Memo has been declassified by President Donald Trump and released to the public by Congress. Before the release, President Trump was asked about the 4 page document and said, "A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves."
The memo, also known as the 'Nunes Memo', outlines alleged violations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) and their use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) within their investigation during the 2016 Presidential election cycle.
The memo outlines how Christopher Steele, on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, compiled a dossier which formed the basis for the Carter Page FISA application. Steele, a longtime FBI Informant, was paid $160,000 by the DNC and the Clinton campaign.
Using the now infamous anti-Trump dossier, which was commissioned by Fusion GPS, though paid for by the DNC and Clinton's presidential campaign, senior FBI and DOJ officials did not reveal that information in four separate application/renewal opportunities.
The memo makes it clear that "no surveillance warrant would have been sought" from the FISA court "without the Steele dossier information."
However, the dossier was tainted from the beginning, Steele making it very clear that he had political motivations behind his part in it, saying he "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president."
"This clear evidence of Steele's bias was recorded by [then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce] Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files – but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications," the memo states.
Another key point in the memo was the intentional leaks to the liberal media by Steele, who was fired an as FBI informant after it was discovered that he had told the liberal news outlet "Mother Jones" of his relationship with the FBI.

Sant sticks to sceptic line on MEPs, does not vote on Romania rule of law motion
'MEPs' methods with Malta were crassly biased' says Labour MEP
14 November 2018, 12:26pm
by Matthew Vella
Labour MEP Alfred Sant
Former Prime Minister and Maltese MEP Alfred Sant has reiterated his line of thinking after refusing to vote on a censure motion against Romania, expressing concerns over judicial reforms and corruption in the EU member state.
He already abstained in a similar vote against Hungary for undermining the European Union's core values, drawing parallels with the Maltese experience of the last year.
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the rule of law in Romania with 473 votes in favor, 151 against and 40 abstentions. It said it is "deeply concerned" about the reform of the country's judicial and criminal laws, "which risks undermining separation of powers and the fight against corruption."
"The procedures adopted in the European Parliament to consider and pass judgement on governmental decision making in EU Member States are not objective, transparent or fair," Sant said, explaining his abstention.
Sant's vote carries the previous stance he took on the assessment of potential breaches of the rule of law in the EU.
"Questions regarding respect for the rule of law in member states constitute a crucial issue which needs to be tackled in a transparent and fully clinical – not to say objective – manner. I say so from personal knowledge of how such procedures are being applied in the case of my country, Malta, where the methods adopted by Members of this Parliament to examine governance issues, are crassly biased.
"This has happened to the extent that when so-called NGOs are consulted about the situation in the country, they are chosen in a partisan and one-sided way. If such approaches are adopted with regard to a given country, it cannot be excluded that they are also followed in other instances."
Sant said the politicised manner by which the European Parliament investigates governance issues nullify the credibility and legitimacy of such investigations. "I do not want my vote to give the impression that this fundamental flaw is non-problematic."
The resolution was adopted with 473 in favour, 151 against, 40 abstentions.

Exclusive extract from Walter Segal: Self-Built Architect
A new book examines the life and legacy of Walter Segal
By Alice Grahame | 1 August 2021
Walter Segal: Self-Built Architect, is a new book examining the iconic architect's role in inspiring the self-build movement by empowering ordinary citizens to create their own homes. Read on for a Grand Designs magazine exclusive extract of the new Walter Segal book, introducing his pioneering work in community-led housing…
Segal's Legacy: Community-led housing
Segal is remembered for bringing people together and enabling them to build their own houses. The Lewisham self-build schemes were council-led, but created successful communities. Later self-build schemes, such as Hedgehog, were housing co-ops, which also resulted in strong communities. In the last twenty years, a community-led homes movement has emerged, calling for groups to be allowed to develop homes that fit their needs. According to Community Led Homes (CLH), a website that helps schemes get off the ground, there are 87,000 people in the UK in CLH groups, and at least 20,000 homes in the pipeline. The process can be painfully slow and most groups spend years finding land, fundraising and getting planning permission.
Jon Broome, an architect who worked with Segal, has designed homes for the CLH sector. He explains that there is renewed interest in the collective approach that the Segal method encouraged:
'Group self-build went through a lean patch from around 2000. But it has resurfaced in co-ops, co-housing and community land trusts. There are significant barriers to progress, and access to land is probably the biggest. Land ownership is much more concentrated here than in most parts of Europe. And you are subject to planning restrictions, which are more onerous than elsewhere.'

Broome says that while alternative housing models like these are on the fringes, they have never died out:
'There is a body of thinking around sustainability, energy and the climate crisis, which is pointing towards a more collective way of organising, with community housing as an antidote. Unfortunately the political and economic context is busy going in the opposite direction with increasing inequality. This is a big problem. Whether in the longer term there is a future in a more socially driven political economic world, is a big question.'
The feeling that the government is not doing enough to solve today's economic and ecological problems has led people to join together in communities to meet their own housing needs – to create homes that are affordable, good quality and climate-friendly. CLH groups are looking outside the mainstream housing providers – the private rented, council and owner-occupier options – to different models that are more inclusive. Many local authorities are promoting community-led housing and there are some funds available for early-stage work.
Community land trusts, co-ops and co-housing groups are working to make bespoke developments of quality homes a reality for more people. Legislation exists to enable councils to facilitate community schemes. The movement is growing and there have recently been funding streams from the government, from Homes England, and from voluntary sector organisations such as Power to Change and the Nationwide Foundation. Hubs have been set in areas with strong CLH activity such as Brighton, Bristol and Manchester.

One UK city with a strong CLH sector, and supportive council, is Leeds, and surrounding areas, where there are over twenty-two active CLH groups. Leeds Community Homes is part of a national network that offers advice and support for groups.
Steve Hoey, CEO of Leeds Community Homes says:
'We help liaise with the local authority over asset transfer (where publicly owned land or property can be leased on a peppercorn rent), potential new build sites, and interest-free or low-cost loans through the council's prudential borrowing facility. There are also grants from the Right to Buy Replacement Programme, where revenue from council properties sold can make up to 30 per cent of the capital costs of a new community building project. CLH brings so many added benefits beyond creating homes, including employment, reduced isolation and community cohesion. The CLH sector has grown significantly in recent years with support from Local Authorities like Leeds, but further sustainable growth depends on renewed support from the government. We hope that the Community Housing Fund will be extended, and that other investment will increase from councils.'

We would like to apologize in advance for the horrific nightmares this next video will give you. If you would rather not watch the creepy, emotionally dead face of a robot child as it cries silently, and you want to sleep through the night, you should probably skip what's next because that's exactly what it is. This video features the first footage of the University of California San Diego's Machine Perception Lab's spooky new robot baby, named Diego-san, in action. The results are terrifying. Watch for yourself below.
Diego-san is supposed to represent a one-year-old child, at least proportionally, because the actual robot stands at four feet, three inches, and weighs in at 66 pounds. In order to create those freakishly life-like expressions, there are 27 moving parts in Diego-san's head. Watching his little robot face twist into manifestations of sadness, joy, anger, and all the rest is sure to create a weird feeling in your stomach. At once you have the visceral response to facial cues, but know at the same time that what you're seeing isn't real. That's a strange sensation indeed. While Diego's face is the main focus of this video, his body also contains 44 pneumatic joints.
Here's where Diego-san gets really nuts. He has high-def cameras for eyes, which allow him to observe the gestures and expressions of people around him. It then takes that data and, "through the use of an AI modeled on human babies, it can 'learn' from people in the same way that real baby does." It watches you, observes your reactions, and freaking learns. That's intense. The scientists behind the project are calling it a huge step in "emotionally relevant robotics." Doesn't this sound like we're one step closer to getting Haley Joel Osment from A.I.?
Looks like the little kid from Looper.
Meaningless facial expressions on fake skin is hardly uncanny.
What really bothers me is this constant knee jerk reaction of hatred for something which is no more emotionally charged than your toaster – One day robots will be our friends not enemies – Now take a walk over that uncanny valley and get over it!


Propranolol is being billed as a promising candidate for curing debilitating anxiety disorders, but the research is still weak.
In a June 2016 cover story, the New Republic hailed the arrival of a "cure for fear." The story profiled propranolol, a common heart medication that researchers have found also may eliminate certain phobias that can affect roughly 19 million Americans. It even looks like a promising candidate, the magazine reported, for curing — and possibly preventing — debilitating anxiety disorders that affect nearly one in five Americans. Better still, the magazine claimed, propranolol "holds out the promise of a simple treatment that doesn't require prolonged therapy sessions or antidepressant medications." BuzzFeed, the Huffington Post, and other outlets circulated the article. No wonder: We love medical silver bullets.
The research is weak on propranolol's potential for alleviating anxiety disorders. The studies are few and the results mixed, which led a team of scholars to conclude in a 2016 Journal of Psychopharmacology meta-analysis that there isn't enough evidence to use propranolol for that purpose. As for prevention, while the New Republic details a 2002 study involving a small number of patients in which propranolol prevented post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when taken shortly after trauma, another 2015 review suggested otherwise: that the pill can blunt some symptoms when taken in the immediate aftermath of trauma, but doesn't seem to reduce the overall number of trauma diagnoses.
Propranolol deserves the interest it has generated in its potential as a treatment for phobias and some PTSD symptoms — but not cover-story promotion as an all-around anxiety game-changer. Take five, and call your doctor after a few more years of study.

Power Electronics Valencia 58
April 07, 2011 CET: 20:45
Local time: 20:45 MADRID CAJA MAGICA
Madrid eliminated Power Electronics Valencia 66-58
Real Madrid stormed back from a double-digit first half deficit to beat Power Electronics Valencia 66-58 on Thursday at Caja Magica in the Spanish capital to win their Quarterfinal Playoffs series 3-2 and earn the club's first Euroleague Final Four berth in 15 years. Defense and rebounding were the keys for the Whites, who held Valencia to 16 second-half points and outrebounded the visitors 45-36 – including 17-7 on the offensive glass. Carlos Suarez shined with 12 points and 10 rebounds to lead the winners, who will meet Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv in the second semifinal at the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four in Barcelona on May 6. Ante Tomic with 9 points and 9 rebounds and Felipe Reyes with 7 points and 10 boards were also key figures in the win, while Clay Tucker matched Suarez with 12 points. Dusko Savanovic paced Valencia with 19 points and Rafa Martinez added 16, but it was not enough as two Power Electronics starts finished the night scoreless. The visitors were sharp early, opening the game with a 2-11 charge and going up by double figures early in the second quarter. Madrid came back to within 40-42 by halftime and took control early in the third quarter. Valencia never quit, but Madrid's defense and rebounding were too much to overcome as the Whites held on to celebrate a historic win.
Madrid controlled the opening tip, but the visitors got to the scoreboard first with a Martinez jumper and a Savanovic drive. Tomic got Madrid's first points after two minutes with a hook shot. The game was played at a fast pace with plenty of exciting moves, but poor shooting kept the score down early. Valencia broke through first with Savanovic draining an open triple and then scoring in transition to make it 2-11 as the home team took a timeout. Sergio Llull penetrated and pulled up for a jumper to get the Madrid offense going. Suarez nailed a triple a minute later as the home crowd got louder. Robertas Javtokas answered with a nifty post move to keep the visitors in control. Suarez continued to close the gap from the line, while Nando De Colo made 1 free throw, but saw his streak of 33 consecutive makes from the line end. Jeremy Richardson sank a three to lift Power Electronics to 11-17 by the end of the quarter.
D'Or Fischer hit a mid-range jumper for the first points of the second quarter, but Madrid could not match the visitors' aggressive play. A De Colo triple followed by a Serhiy Lishchuk basket-plus-foul combined with strong defense at the other end gave Valencia a 10-point lead. After a timeout, Reyes powered the boards for a basket, Javtokas's third foul and a free throw to ignite the crowd. Pablo Prigioni added a three as the momentum started to turn, however Richardson answered back with a clutch three. Still Madrid was on its way back and Tucker made it 21-26. Speed was on display as David Navarro and Llull traded layups. Tomic narrowed the gap to 3 before Omar Cook set up Lishchuk for a basket and foul. Martinez drove through the Madrid defense for an easy layup, but when he tried it a second time, Tucker rose up to block his shot. Tucker then fired in a three-pointer to make it 29-32, which resulted in Valencia head coach Svetislav Pesic calling timeout. Valencia racked up points from the line through Savanovic and De Colo, but a Nikola Mirotic jumper and Tucker triple had Madrid as close as 2. Savanovic answered with a clutch jumper, but Mirotic sank a triple to make it 37-38. Martinez rescued the Power Electronics cushioned with a pull-up three-pointer. Tucker fired back with a deep triple and after Savanovic missed a three at the buzzer, Madrid had climbed back within 40-42 at the break.
Suarez gave Madrid its first lead of the night with a triple that bounced in on the Whites' first possession of the second half. Martinez powered his way to the basket, but Madrid now had the momentum. Tomic drew Javtokas's fourth foul before Llull stepped up with a pair of jumper from either side on the three-point arc, making it 48-44. Savanovic beat the 24-second clock with a long jumper. Madrid looked to pull away as Tomic set Mirotic up for a score and Prigioni took a steal in for a layup to put the home team up 52-46. Savanovic shined with a great spin move as Valencia refused to break. The Valencia scorer reached 19 points with a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to 2. Fischer made his presence felt with a pair of blocks on the defensive end, but was called for a foul the next time he tried to reject a shot and Lishchuk kept the visitors within 3. Reyes kept Madrid ahead with a second-chance basket and Suarez put in a circus flip off an offensive rebound that lifted Madrid to 58-51 through three quarters.
Madrid continued to rule inside with Fischer dunking early in the fourth quarter. Valencia had trouble cracking the hosts' defense until Martinez came off a curl to drain a long three that silenced the arena. Cook stole the ball and made a downcourt pass to Martinez, but Tucker raced back to block the shot. Valencia was aggressive on the offensive glass, but unable to get results. Instead Tomic took advantage to beat his defenders downcourt for an easy basket. Javtokas managed to draw Reyes's fourth foul and sink a free throw too, making it 62-55 before the TV timeout. Offense remained at a premium in the fourth quarter with both teams playing aggressive defense. Madrid haunted Valencia with its offensive rebounds, even though the Whites had trouble getting the ball in the basket. Martinez gave Valencia hope with a clutch three-pointer with just over two minutes remaining to make it 62-58. Llull went down playing defense on the play and had to come out. Two offensive rebounds on Madrid's next possession before Tomic scored helped the hosts kill the clock. Then Tomic rejected a De Colo reverse layup to all but seal the win. Valencia's last chances ended when Tomic grabbed another offensive rebound, was fouled and made a free throw with 52 seconds remaining to signal to the fans that it was time to celebrate!

Head coach: PESIC, SVETISLAV
MOLIN, EMANUELE
"It was a tough game and a great end to a very balanced series. I am proud of being part of something so special for this club. The atmosphere at Caja Magica was important. We went through complicated moments in the first half, but managed to bounce back. We reacted well in the second quarter. I loved the aggressiveness my players had tonight. It is something I asked them to show before this crucial game."
PESIC, SVETISLAV
"Congratulations to Real Madrid, which managed to keep the home court advantage. I am proud of what we did tonight, but you have to feel sad after a loss like this. We didn't control the defensive boards in a very tough game under the baskets. The fact that we didn't control the game, physically speaking, allowed them to get a lot of offensive rebounds and that was the main factor that caused us to lose the game. Madrid was not better than us in other aspects of the game, but in the end, people will just see who won the game, and that was Real Madrid. It has been a pleasure playing here, in front of a lot of people and with so many Valencia fans in the stands."
SUAREZ, CARLOS
"I am very happy. It took us a lot of effort to win this game and the series. When the game was over, I enjoyed it a lot because I had been thinking for weeks what this could mean and what we managed to do. We are not in our best physical moment, but we have some time left until the Final Four. We have time to recover. It is exciting to play a Final Four, but the fact that it is in Barcelona makes it even more special."
LLULL, SERGIO
"This is just incredible! It is one of my best moments as a professional player, not only in Real Madrid but also in my entire career. We managed to achieve our goal. We were too anxious in the beginning and that led to make a lot of mistakes. Little by little, we managed to return to the game and our fans helped us a lot tonight."
PRIGIONI, PABLO
"We are very happy in the locker room. We managed to beat a great team. We struggled in the beginning of the game, but managed to win the game with a lot of hustle. We put a lot of desire and heart into a very difficult game in which we made a lot of early mistakes. The key was being able to play very tough after the break. We tried to get the lead and make the game more difficult for them. I think Power Electronics had less energy than in other games. My teammates did a great defensive job on Omar Cook, too."
SAVANOVIC, DUSKO
"It is a bit soon to talk about what we did in this Euroleague season. Right now, it is hard to think about what we did and what it meant for this club. Generally speaking, however, we have to be proud of the outcome of a season that started with many injuries and a change of coach. I am happy with the game I played, but I cannot be happy about the result. I would have preferred to score fewer points and win the game. Playing well doesn't mean anything if your team doesn't win."
MARTINEZ, RAFA
"We were not able to win the game. We tried hard and there are no excuses. In the long run, their bench depth was a factor. We would have signed to get to the Top 16 barely fourth months ago and it is hard to think about what we managed to do in this Euroleague season – to be one game away from the Final Four. Offensive rebounds were the key to this game. That also killed our chances in Game 1. We allowed Madrid to have second and third chances. We had a good approach to the game, but it was not enough to win it."
NAVARRO, DAVID
"It is a tough loss for us. We had a good chance to make it to the Final Four. We fought hard, but once Madrid got the lead, it was tough for us. Nando De Colo and Serhiy Lishchuk were not 100%, but there are no excuses, Madrid was the best team out there tonight."

Freshman Dance Goes Swimmingly
Kaitlyn Boyle ('17)/ Eastside Staff
Cherry Hill East students from all grades came out on Friday, January 10 for the Under the Sea themed Freshman Dance.
"It's freshman year," said Sungkwang Oh ('17), freshman class president. "It's our first dance. It's our introduction to high school."
The cafeteria was decorated with blue, green, and white balloons and streamers, along with dolphin balloons. Starfish hung down from the walls, and colored balls lit up the ceiling.
"The decorations were a seven out of ten," said Gilda Bocco ('17). "I liked the colors."
Students were offered a variety of food, including mozzarella sticks, tater tots, and for dessert, cookies and brownies.
Many students could be found socializing with friends out in the hallway or sitting at the tables in the back of the cafeteria.
"It's a good way to see your friends you don't have classes with," said Ally Mora ('17).
Other students spent the night on the dance floor, although many students had complaints about the quality of the music.
"It was good," said Jarod Devos ('17), "but the DJ could've been better."
Sophomore Grace Shen ('16) said she had a great time at the dance with all of her friends.
"I wouldn't say it's as good as mine," said Shen, "but definitely a great time!"
On the way out the door, students received a dark blue t-shirt with the words 'Cherry Hill East Freshman Dance 2014' printed on the front underneath a wave. On the back was a sailboat with 'freshman' printed on it, and bubbles underneath with the words 'Under the Sea'.
Julia Wolf ('17), vice president, said that the dance went even better than expected.
"There was a good turn out," added Oh. "People had fun, and that's the point of the dance… for people to enjoy themselves."
