Boundless Launches GIS Products Based on Open-Source, Data-Rich Future
by GIS Resources	,	2016-11-17
Boundless is betting that open source, non-proprietary and license-free is the future of the geographic information systems (GIS) market.
It's a bet wagered in the form of dual product launches this week. Boundless, which already offers a GIS platform and sells to government, is filling out its offerings to move from a platform to an "ecosystem." The first, Boundless Desktop, is a desktop GIS tool filled out with analytics, plugins and various other tools. The other, Boundless Connect, is essentially a hub capable of connecting Desktop, other Boundless services and even third-party GIS programs.
All without a user license.
"We're selling support, we're not selling licenses," said Andy Dearing, Boundless' chief executive officer.
That means the company is putting its stake in helping its clients make the platform work for their own specific uses — its biggest customers thus far have been at federal agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but it's beginning to work more with state and local customers. The software comes free, but the how-tos, the maintenance, the support line, anything extra, needs to be paid for
There's a big, cloudy reason for that. The leadership team at Boundless is looking to the future, as government gathers more and more data — from body cameras, from drones, even from ubiquitous sensor nodes. Wearables, connected vehicles, mobile devices. The Internet of Things.
Anthony Calamito, Boundless' chief evangelist, sees so much possible data coming government's way in the future that many GIS managers and users today are going to need to scale up their operations — massively.
"We truly believe that our technology, the open source stack, is better suited to meet that need," he said.
In a proprietary, license-based model, users might need to pay more to scale up their operations. For some, the extra costs might mean going through a procurement cycle, which takes time and resources.
For its part, ArcGIS maker Esri — the dominant player in the GIS market, and one of the older government technology companies around today — has a plan for when its customers need to scale up. Christian Carlson, Esri's director of state, local and provincial government, said the company can work in licensing models that account for surges in use, as well as a "shift model" that allows users with similar roles to share time on a license. He declined to say whether scaling up would mean extra costs for those customers, but said it hasn't been a problem for the company's users.
"It's completely cost-effective for them," Carlson said. "I have yet to have a customer on our side complain that the model was a barrier for them … to deploy the technology."
Esri also prices its support and extra services, including the support of emergency management experts in case there's need for them, into its licensing.
"Our licensing, you really have to consider our licensing models to include those comprehensive services we provide," he said.
But then, according to Calamito, using Boundless doesn't necessarily mean moving past Esri — or anybody else.
"It's not an 'or,' it's an 'and,'" Calamito said. "It's not a binary [choice]."
That's been the case at the Port of Seattle, which operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and various maritime facilities. Eric Drenckpohl, enterprise GIS manager for the port, said his organization has a city's worth of operations — up to and including police and fire — and as such, needs a broad-focused GIS platform and not just a set of narrowly-focused tools.
So it built its own program, Port Explorer, using Esri tools. Then, for version two, the port set up a hybrid system that uses Boundless to connect with Esri and other programs. Boundless allows Drenckpohl to pull aerial photos from an Esri database while drawing boundaries based on data in a PostGIS system.
"Having a hybrid GIS environment with proprietary and non-proprietary really strengthens my role as a GIS manager because I have options, more tools in my toolbelt," Drenckpohl said.
The ability to scale up also helps, he said. For Drenckpohl, it's an issue of operational efficiency.
"I can't manage 1,800 discrete users and try to figure out what permissions they have," he said.
Instead, he'd rather set up a system with enough disparate data and tools to let users do things he can't predict — anything from locating a specific manhole cover in a vast plot of land to plotting out security incidents through the airport.
And that's what Boundless is going for. The new product launches focus a lot on the word "ecosystem." They are far from being the only GIS provider. But they want to be the provider of an open-source ecosystem.
"We've seen some commercial providers do this," Calamito said, "but we haven't seen it from an open-source perspective."

Your vids and comments are well thought out. Your family is certainly blessed to travel as much as you do.
I think it is great that your oldest is getting started in the blog snide. A kids point of view on travel and tourist sites would be unique. They may see things differently that we adults. And offer suggestions on how to keep safe when traveling.
Thanks and work safe today!
Is Mark american or german?
Dude, don't bash your editing style! The reason I watch your videos is that you don't have that usual generic editing with the terrible stock music montages that's so prevalent on Youtube! You just talk honestly to a camera, and that's all I'm looking for!
Mark, I am right now locked in my Airbnb bathroom in Paris (3am) enjoying a good dose of jet lag, the rest of my family is trying to sleep. I want to thank you for publishing theses videos, I watched almost everyone of them before coming to Europe , you are super helpful, thanks to you I haven't packed my baseball cap, socks or flip flops on my one tiny carryon.
Visiting the Eiffel Tower tomorrow, we'll see how good I blend in with the locals, lol!!! Thank you, thank you, we were able to use public transportation with many transfers thanks to all of you good advise, God bless you and keep up the good work.
By the way, I am from Argentina but living in the USA for 25 years this December. I realized after watching this video you lived there too, I'll check to see if you have a video about shocking things in Argentina, that would be fun!
Thanks for your videos — I appreciate your help!!
Death threats wtf it's not like you are running a country or something.

omg what the hell , who is hating on you and your family??/ you are so awesome !!!
How many languages do you guys speak?
Have you ever done a video about how to travel with two kids and afford it? Transportation, lodging, etc.
Thank you for making these video me and my wife are planning a trip in September to London and Paris and your videos have help me out so much.
Love your videos. Do you ever arrange tours.
Anyway, keep being you!! We love you!
I like all your videos, I'm about to travel to Germany for the first time in September so I basically binged all your videos. Keep making videos Mark.
Hi, Mark! I love all your videos — they're my new addiction! Especially loved the kids trying Finnish candy (and I loved your description of salmiakki — a friend who lived in Finland confirmed that your assessment is dead on). Also especially loved your video on the 10 shocks in the southern US — as an expatriate Southerner, it warmed my heart! (Go Vols!) All your videos are amazing. I haven't gotten much of a chance to travel — but I've studied French, Spanish, Russian, Welsh (!), and my hobby is learning new languages so that I'll be ready when I do get the chance. Anyway, thanks so much, and best wishes to you and your family.
There's the kids playing, then the Eiffel Tower in the background!! Never seen a famous place presented like that. It was excellant and somehow shows your emphasis on family.
we love your family with love from London to Jamaica ,people are only hating on you coz your videos are amazing ,And your wife and kinds are beautiful ,long live the wolters!!!
Yes, your wife is extremely attractive… what she sees is a fun, adventurous, humorous, well educated, family man…. who says, "Thank you God," for her. That's not to say that you aren't an attractive man…. I'm just saying that there are many qualities that she would be attracted to even if you weren't. Love to all of your family!


Former Test coach to take legal action against Cricket Australia claiming dismissal damages career and reputation.
Axed Australian cricket coach Mickey Arthur on Sunday said there had been a "deliberate campaign" against him in past days and his reputation had suffered greatly from his sacking.
Returning to Perth after attending his mother's funeral in South Africa, Arthur said he had no choice but to take legal action against Cricket Australia after he was dismissed just days before the start of the Ashes series against England.
"After my dismissal, I received nothing in writing from Cricket Australia, no contact, and no payment at all, not even of my basic leave pay, until I was forced to bring in lawyers to assist in the process," he read from a statement.
"I had tried on a number of occasions to make direct contact at a very senior level of Cricket Australia, for days there was just no response."
Arthur, who was replaced by Darren Lehmann, said that given the circumstances of his dismissal, he had hoped that Cricket Australia would be willing to resolve the matter through private talks.
But explosive details of his Aus$4 million case to the Fair Work Commission, including claims of divisions within the Australian team, were leaked to the media ahead of the second Test.
"Selective leaks by others have ruined my attempts to protect the Australian cricket team and everyone involved," Arthur said.
"As I've said, no one associated with me has played any part in releasing that confidential document."
Arthur, who was sacked after a series loss in India, a poor showing in the Champions League and incidents of ill-discipline among the team, said that Cricket Australia's chief executive James Sutherland had even acknowledged that he had to some extent been made a scapegoat.
"The damage to my reputation and career has been immense, which means the chances of me getting a senior job are that much less," the South African said.
"I was truly shocked and devastated by my dismissal.
"I had received a positive appraisal on all my key performance indicators just prior to departing for the Ashes tour."
Arthur said that he had been told that batsman David Warner's off-field behaviour, in which he punched England batsman Joe Root in a Birmingham bar, had been "the last straw" for the CA board.
"I received no hearing at all over that issue, and no one was doing more to improve discipline in the young Australian team than I was," he said.
Arthur, who took no questions, said he hoped conciliation talks on Wednesday would be productive and wished the Australian team, which lost the first Test and will require a record run chase to win the second, well.
"In spite of what has been a deliberate campaign against me in the past days, I am still willing to resolve this dispute on a fair and just basis," Arthur said.

Q: How can I access props from inside a component I'm trying to access "props" from a component for which I'm passing an object. I'm a bit lost with JS here ; basically what I'm trying to do is to build a Master/Detail view (so show/hide 2 different components based on user clicks on a table).
How can I access "props" from the object rowEvent once a user clicks on a table row ?
const rowEvents = {
    onClick: (e, row, rowIndex) => {
      console.log(row.itemId);
      //this.currentItemId= row.itemId;   //////////// THIS DOESNT WORK...
    }
};

const TableWithSearch = (props) => {
    const { SearchBar } = Search;
    const { ExportCSVButton } = CSVExport;

return (
    <Card>
        <CardBody>

Search and Export

A Table

            <ToolkitProvider
                bootstrap4
                keyField="itemId"
                data={props.data}
                columns={columns}
                search
                exportCSV={{ onlyExportFiltered: true, exportAll: false }}>
                {props => (
                    <React.Fragment>
                        <Row>
                            <Col>
                                <SearchBar {...props.searchProps} />
                            </Col>
                            <Col className="text-right">
                                <ExportCSVButton {...props.csvProps} className="btn btn-primary">
                                    Export CSV
                                </ExportCSVButton>
                            </Col>
                        </Row>

                        <BootstrapTable
                            {...props.baseProps}
                            bordered={false}
                            rowEvents={ rowEvents }
                            defaultSorted={defaultSorted}
                            pagination={paginationFactory({ sizePerPage: 5 })}
                            wrapperClasses="table-responsive"
                        />
                    </React.Fragment>
                )}
            </ToolkitProvider>
        </CardBody>
    </Card>
);
};

And the component looks like this :
render() {

    let show;

    if (this.props.currentItemId === null){
        show = (<TableWithSearch data={this.props.data} />)
    }
    else {
        show = (<DisplayItem />)
    }

    return (
        <React.Fragment>
            <Row>
                <Col>
                    { show }
                </Col>
            </Row>
        </React.Fragment>
    )
}
}

A: this.props should give you access for class components
In addition you should create a bind to the click function so it can correctly resolve this, in the constuctor of the rowEvent

A: Your issue is a bit complex because you seem to be needing to update the prop currentItemId from parent's parent.
You can solve your issue by doing the following:

*

*Move the declaration of rowEvents objects in side TableWithSearch functional component.

*In TableWithSearch component, receive a callback say updateCurrentItemId from parent which updates the currentItemId in the parent

*In parent component, the currentItemId is being passed from parent(again). So maintain a state for it.

TableWithSearch Component
const TableWithSearch = (props) => {
  const { SearchBar } = Search;
  const { ExportCSVButton } = CSVExport;
  const {updateCurrentItemId} = props; //<--------- receive the prop callback from parent
  const rowEvents = {
    onClick: (e, row, rowIndex) => {
      console.log(row.itemId);
      updateCurrentItemId(row.itemId) // <--------- use a callback which updates the currentItemId in the parent
      //this.currentItemId= row.itemId;   //////////// THIS DOESNT WORK...
    },
  };
  return (
    <Card>
      <CardBody>

Search and Export

A Table

        <ToolkitProvider
          bootstrap4
          keyField="itemId"
          data={props.data}
          columns={columns}
          search
          exportCSV={{ onlyExportFiltered: true, exportAll: false }}
        >
          {(props) => (
            <React.Fragment>
              <Row>
                <Col>
                  <SearchBar {...props.searchProps} />
                </Col>
                <Col className="text-right">
                  <ExportCSVButton
                    {...props.csvProps}
                    className="btn btn-primary"
                  >
                    Export CSV
                  </ExportCSVButton>
                </Col>

            </React.Fragment>

      </CardBody>
    </Card>
  );
};

I have used method exposed by "EnvelopesApi" class like "DeleteDocuments". But it essentially delete document from draft envelop but I want delete any envelop generated at docusign.
EnvelopeDefinition envelopeDefinition = new EnvelopeDefinition
    {
        EnvelopeId = envelopId
    };
    envelopesApi.DeleteDocuments(accountId, envelopId,
 envelopeDefinition);

After calling this method, I expect documents(envelop) to delete from DocuSign but I yet can retrieve documents using "ListDocuments" method. please let me know what I am missing.

A: There are two options here, so you may want to clarify what exactly you're looking for.

*

*Delete an Envelope. Deleting an envelope doesn't actually remove it from the DocuSign system, it just removes the user's pointer to it so it no longer appears in their Manage tab. To Delete an envelope, use the Folders::MoveEnvelopes method with a folder ID of "recyclebin". Note that if the Sender deletes an In Process envelope it will be voided.
This example shows how to delete two envelopes:
    FoldersApi foldersApi = new FoldersApi(apiClient.Configuration);

    FoldersRequest foldersRequest = new FoldersRequest();
    foldersRequest.EnvelopeIds = new List<string>();
    foldersRequest.EnvelopeIds.Add("000-111-222");
    foldersRequest.EnvelopeIds.Add("333-444-555");

    foldersApi.MoveEnvelopes(accountId, "recyclebin", foldersRequest);

*Purge an Envelope. Purged envelopes are fully removed from DocuSign, only a stub record and the Certificate of Completion will remain. More information purging is available here: https://support.docusign.com/en/guides/ndse-user-guide-purge-envelopes
Note that purging an envelope sends notifications to all recipients with DocuSign accounts, and there is a two week delay to allow them to access the envelope before it is removed.
To queue an envelope for Purge, the Envelopes::Update method should be used. When calling this method via the SDK, it's recommended that you create an empty Envelope object, set the PurgeState there, and then apply that object with the Update() method.
    EnvelopesApi envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi(apiClient.Configuration);
    string envelopeId = "000-111-222";

    Envelope purgeEnvelope = new Envelope
    {
        PurgeState = "documents_queued" //change to "documents_and_metadata_queued" to also remove recipient info
    };

    envelopesApi.Update(accountId, envelopeId, purgeEnvelope);


does anybody know where I can find the hardware specification for the LCD display found in the Nokia 6233 cellphone?
I am interested in interfacing it with a micro controller.
Most old nokias interface by parallel interface or SPI.
Its known that most nokia Colour LCDs share the same commands and data interface.
The controller surely will be the MC2PA8201 or compatible.
Your information was very useful.
Do you know how much current do I have to expect to be drained from the 1.8v by the LCD's I/O pins?
My board provides 3.3v output levels. Like yourself, I am planning to use a 74LVCH245A for converting between these levels.


Imagine working in an office where turning on the lights also meant turning on internet access; an office where you could go online and do what you do up to 100 times faster than you currently do with wi-fi. It may sound the stuff of futuristic films, but it is now reality. The world of li-fi has arrived and should be ready for consumers within the next couple of years.
Li-Fi is a technology that transmits computer data using the visible light spectrum rather than radio waves. It was first demonstrated at a TED exhibition conducted by Professor Harold Haas at Edinburgh University in 2011. Since that early demonstration showing an LED light transmitting a video, the technology has undergone further development that now makes it incredibly fast and comparatively reliable.
The latest li-fi technology was recently tested by an Estonian start-up known as Velmenni. The company used a light bulb fitted with li-fi to transmit data as fast as 1 GB per second. According to Velmenni, speeds of up to 224 GB per second are theoretically possible based on their laboratory testing. Velmenni chief executive Deepak Solanki was quoted by the BBC as saying he hopes the technology will be ready for consumers "within three or four years".
The idea of transmitting data via light is nothing new in principle. Since the earliest days of infra-red remote controls, we have been using light beams as a means of sending information from one point to the next. Indeed, the whole idea of optical fibre and data communications is based in the reality that light travels faster than electrical impulses. Some of our fastest internet connections today are based on this understanding.
In terms of wireless communications, it is no different. The radio waves on which we depend for wi-fi signals are incredibly slow when you compare them to how fast light travels. The developers of li-fi know this and are taking advantage of it. But there's something else they know: the spectrum of visible light scientists have to work with is 10,000 times greater than the volume of radio waves we currently use for wi-fi. This means that, when li-fi is finally ready for commercial and individual use, it will be a long time before we run out of usable space in the light spectrum.
There are drawbacks to the technology that Velmenni and others acknowledge. First and foremost, it cannot realistically be used outside because natural sunlight interferes with data transfer. Second, light does not pass through walls or floors. Therefore, it is only feasible in isolated spaces. But those two issues notwithstanding, it could replace traditional wi-fi in office environments, restaurants and cafés, and other public spaces where wi-fi is currently used for public internet access.
The age of li-fi is here. It is only a matter of time before transmitting data with a receiver and a few LED light bulbs will be the norm.

Brexit: The Case for a New Referendum
Share this article by email
Why are we so predisposed against a new referendum? People from around the UK have echoed the view that another referendum would be a betrayal against the will of the people. But let us go back in the past and deconstruct this argument for a minute.
David Cameron, then Prime Minister of the UK, pledged that he would hold a referendum on membership of the EU and that the government would hold itself bound to its outcome. In other words, although there were no known petitions emanating from the people to hold such referendums, there was one man who set this up, perhaps likely, as the analysis goes, to appease certain factions within the Conservative Party. As far as I know, the relevant parties might well have been elected democratically, but by no means represented a majority in Parliament. In fact, at the time it was clear that a majority of Parliamentarians held the view that Brexit was not a good idea. The balance of competence review that was officially conducted in the run-up to the referendum confirmed that. So, no Parliamentary democratic majority there. One man chooses for all men, based on very partial interest, to organize a referendum that the people themselves hadn't particularly asked for. In doing so he proclaimed an advisory tool of governance, broadly considered a poor tool for sound governance, to become a binding tool for legislation, legislation which runs into fundamental domains that govern our capability to coexist peacefully and prosperously within the world.
Then, a referendum is held and a small majority (52 over 48%) of the people who went out to vote decided that they were against staying in the EU. In other words, almost half of the electorate that voted would have stayed in. Not exactly a strong outcome, and in fact polls before and after the event have shown rather consistently that if a vote were to be taken again or at another point in time, the opposite outcome would have prevailed. Thus not a very stable majority outcome of democratic opinion either. Why would policymakers make policy based if the strongly divided preference of a nation cannot consistently make up its mind in either direction? When policies are debated in the EU, qualified majorities are upheld at the very least to make a decision in the Council, if not unanimous decisions.
Even still, some continue to say, the people have voted, and we have to respect their decision. Okay, but how does that really run in line with how governments have previously decided to act when they were given a mandate through elections and then failed to produce the desired results? New elections were then held and perhaps another party was given power that was given a rather different mandate, perhaps undoing the work of a previous government. Within the normal democratic interplay, it thus belongs to all the normal possibilities that a government falls and changes course based on new elections. Why should this be different in the case of Brexit? It is clear in the current debate that the political landscape is so divided that the deal on the table is very hard if not impossible to pass, most certainly not to the clear satisfaction of any majority of stakeholders.
Moreover, the Brexit decision is not by any evident measure the same as holding a national referendum on a certain policy measure. A regular referendum deals not only with a specific policy issue, rather than with a whole complicated set of policies and governance structures at large (as is the case with a vote on being a member of the EU.) It also holds within itself the possibility for a change of course if a new policy proves to be detrimental to the public interest. When one leaves the EU, it is by no means evident that this policy can be reversed in the scope of a few years. While perhaps not theoretically impossible, it is more likely to be a decision for generations ahead to come. Can this thus be decided, in any unspecified form, on one day, either by saying yes or no to EU membership? Albeit democratic in some sense perhaps, it is most certainly not the most rational way to make a decision by any standard.
Also, we are reminded again that the rationale that floated around wasn't entirely based on facts, and that campaigns were run to some degree outside of what legal frameworks allow for. The public, of course, had to make up its own mind, and a key factor, according to analysts, for those who choose for Brexit, the matter of immigration, still held outside that frame. Yet, then what have we seen to come since the referendum? Migration has reversed, i.e. more people are leaving the UK than coming in, so that problem has been solving itself in a way. One might argue, of course, that this was precisely due to or some would say thanks to Brexit, but were there no other ways to achieve this objective that would leave membership of the EU intact?
And let's not forget another point, a point which has faded almost inaudibly to the background. The EU is considered to be a confederation of states. It is almost like a supranational state. A break-off from any state, according to international law cannot be simply determined by referendum. Much more stringent conditions apply. Now the EU isn't exactly that, as evidenced by the existence of article 50. Yet many legal/political scholars have argued over the years that accession to the EU is an irreversible step in history, especially for a big member state (like the UK). So why the referendum again in the first place?
Furthermore, leaving people another chance to have their say through a referendum, is not simply a measure for policymakers to get things to go their way. Technically it only offers the same demographic (give or take a margin) the chance to give an answer to the same question. If a majority were to vote in favor of Brexit again this would only strengthen the case. The strong argument against it can thus be interpreted by some as to indicate that the mandate they have accorded themselves now to implement a Brexit a majority has self-proclaimed not to really support but as a consequence of the electorate would actually not exist when a new referendum would be held. In the mind of the referendum respecting Brexiteer, thus perhaps a bold and truly democratic move to plea for a second referendum.
In addition, if we were to go down the route of a new referendum, why should this stop at the British border in the first place? Looking at the big picture, we live in a world that is very much interconnected. The decision of the British electorate to exit the EU also has strong effects on many other peoples around the world. Why, if things were truly democratic, weren't they given a say in this matter as well then? Britain may be an island, but the world it exists in is not, and so the will and agency of others involved should also be respected.
So isn't it perhaps about time we leave the mantra that the people have voted, and open ourselves to a truly other possibility, namely to continue to coexist within the European Union, and to find (new) ways within the framework those governance structures to exert the necessary influence to assure that we all allow ourselves to live in freedom, in harmony within nature, and in peace and prosperity?
Let us be hopeful.

"Teenagers aren't stupid, they're a lot smarter than people give them credit for."
A lot has been said about the premise of Netflix's new show 13 Reasons Why, but then again, it's something we need to talk about, and often.
Starring Katherine Langford and Dylan Minnette, the series is about a girl named Hannah who dies by suicide. It's told in both flashbacks and present-day revelations, as her classmate Clay is sent on a difficult scavenger hunt regarding why Hannah believed she should take her life. He and his classmates are forced to reconcile with themselves and each other as they listen to tapes that Hannah left behind; she narrates a story of bullying and abuse, which the viewers see played out on screen.
Produced by Selena Gomez and her mother Mandy Teefey, it's based on the book of the same name by Jay Asher. As legend has it, Mandy found the book in a Barnes & Noble one day, and brought it home, maybe as a movie for Selena to star in. But time passed, and it morphed from a film to a TV show, and found its star in Australian newcomer Katherine instead. The result is a dramatized look at a bevy of problems that people face every single day. According to the Jason Foundation, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for young people, and PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center notes that 20% of students report that they've been bullied in some way, based on a 2016 survey from the National Center for Educational Statistics. But the show also aims to speak to the people on the other side — both the bullies, and the ones who maybe stood by and didn't intervene when they could have.
Teen Vogue talked with Katherine and Dylan about bringing the beloved book to the small screen, how they navigated the heavy subject matter woven through each of the 13 episodes, and what they hope fans take away from Hannah and Clay's story.
Teen Vogue: This book has been read by so many people, which inherently puts a lot of pressure on you as actors. They'll be looking to see whether or not you the story in whatever way they saw it in their heads. How did you navigate that legacy?
Katherine Langford: This is such a special project and it's based on a book that is an international bestseller and that has openly changed and saved people's lives. I think when you try and emulate what people loved in the book, it can sometimes maybe feel like there's pressure to do a certain thing.
To be honest, I didn't feel an enormous amount of pressure, but I did feel a responsibility to do the book justice. We did that by just treating the issues with as much truth as Jay did in the novel. What I really love and what I'm really proud about with this project is that there was so much care and sensitivity taken when we dealt with these issues. That's really important for me as an actor, but also as someone who's really passionate about these things being told truthfully and without romanticizing them or hyping them up or trying to sell them as such.
Dylan Minnette: For me, I had a lot of personal pressure on this. I don't know if this is kind of derailing the question, but the story is being told through Clay listening to the tapes, so the story's kind of being told through Clay. I've never had that kind of pressure on me before, especially as a character in an existing book. I felt a tremendous amount of pressure.
I was a little nervous at first, but once we got into it and Clay started to evolve and the scripts came in and how deep they were becoming and how deep Clay was becoming, it came a lot easier for me. I'm really proud of that. I think everyone's really proud. I feel like that there was a responsibility and I feel like we've achieved it, and I hope everyone else thinks so, too.
TV: Were there any conversations you had on set prior to or while you were acting out these heavy scenes?
DM: Basically everyone had this certain awareness of knowing that we have to make this as real and as truthful and as appropriate as possible. The fans of the book are in love with the story and they keep it as their own and they're very protective of it, and rightfully so. [We wanted to] please Jay and to do its story justice, but also be mindful of the victims of some of the issues that we touch on in the show, and people who are kind of going through the same struggles that Hannah was going through and all of these characters are going through. It was about making sure that we do it in a real way and that we portray this in a way that doesn't romanticize anything, that it just feels real and feels appropriate and gets the message across, even if it isn't pretty.
KL: Teenagers aren't stupid, they're a lot smarter than people give them credit for; 15-, 16-, 17-year-olds are going through the stuff that's on the show, and I think one thing that we really aimed for is to try and make it as truthful as possible; everyone had that goal in mind. We had psychiatrists and people with experience either as counselors or victims. I spoke to Rebecca Kaplan from It's On Us in preparation for a few of the scenes to understand the information and actual facts behind what we were doing. Because in being truthful and trying to tell a story that we all felt was super important, trying to make it as truthful as possible — that was kind of hard.
Going through Hannah's life and trying to make it as real as possible was a bit of a shock to the system, really. I took a harder hit than I thought I would physically and mentally, but the conversations were not just factual and in preparation, but also about how we deal with these issues. We had a briefing before we actually started the show which said, "OK, guys, these are the issues we're going to be covering. Here are your resources, we've got psychiatrists here." Then we talked a little bit about, what are you guys passionate about, how do you feel, what are you guys experiencing? Then to follow that up, we had support talks.
I felt so looked after on set. There were a lot of sensitive issues that we covered in the series and I felt like I was present for quite a lot of those talks because I was involved in them. I always felt that we spoke about it respectfully, but that also we were taken care of and looked after and always kind of nurtured, which was nice.
TV: The book and the show have been highlighted for talking about teen suicide. But there are a lot of layers to this story, and a lot of issues that the characters experience. Was there one issue or episode that really resonated with you?
DM: I mean, they're all so deserving of their attention, so I try not to focus on one. I mean, obviously, I think the focus of the story is a suicide, and that's what sets up this entire thing. But then everything that comes with it... I think every issue deserves to be touched on because [otherwise] you'd have a show where it was like, oh, this is really bad, this was kind of bad, but this was really bad. This is touching on life and growing up and going through all the struggles that we go through as young people.
KM: I think we treated all these things equally because they're all equally horrific and they all contribute to why Hannah ends her life. I think, if anything, the weight of those issues is going to resonate with people differently, depending on who they are and what their life is like, which is kind of the cool thing about the show. It's not just a show about suicide, it's not just a show about bullying, it's kind of like this is a show about life at these ages and what happens in between. I think that's something that a lot of people gravitate towards is that it's this truth-telling, but then there's also all these things that we're showing that happen.
Everything we covered, I felt, was important and the way we dealt with it inspiring and it was actually just such a privilege to be able to tell those stories individually throughout each episode. Personally, for me, I think I had two that kind of resonated with me the most and kind of made me think a little bit. I think the first one is episode seven is a super surprising episode and it impacts Hannah in a way that, I think, no one really thinks on the surface. And episode nine, because I think it's something that's so relevant and happens so often and it was so frightening.
TV: The format of this show is interesting because the viewers know what will happen to Hannah, but in the flashbacks, nobody else does yet. How did you build off of each other as you were figuring out who Clay and Hannah were, and what their relationship was?
DM: Katherine helped me a little bit through the process because she had a whole book. Literally, you'd be like, "What time and place is this scene happening?" "Oh, it's this date, at this time, this second. This comes before this." I'm like, oh, my God. She is so much better than me at keeping track of timeline. On a completely just basic standpoint, she really helped me just to know where we were because the story is told in so many different places.
KL: It's a lot of timeline.
DM: I feel like our evolution made a lot of sense, though, because once you get into a couple of episodes in, it starts to be told in pretty much a chronological order.
KL: Yeah, the evolution of Clay and Hannah, I feel like it happened really naturally. Part of that is casting, but also Dylan's a sweetheart. I think you fall in love with Clay in the episodes because he's so kind. Honestly, the further we got into shooting, obviously, [there was an] increase regarding severity of content, and I was doing these really heavy scenes. Pretty much every time we see Hannah, when she's happy later on, it's kind of always because of Clay. It's the same thing with Dylan. Dylan would rock up on set and he would make me smile.
DM: Until we weren't smiling?
KL: Until we weren't smiling. [Laughs] I think it's just a thing, like, the cast is so wonderful and everyone was so wonderful on set. I think Dylan and I, through the process of shooting, the further we got along, the closer we got to our characters, the more intimately we knew them and the more protected and in sync with them we felt. I think being friends outside of the shoot, but then also playing who we did, it just helped make that relationship what it was naturally.
DM: It's a heartbreaking story. If you were to cut out just the flashbacks and make it its own little movie, it would be the most heartbreaking love story ever. I mean, it doesn't even come to fruition. It was rough to do. It was fun doing the fun scenes with you, but, by the end, we couldn't do that anymore. Even lost that in the end. I thought about that when we were filming, I was like, if you just put together a super-cut movie of our scenes in chronological order, it would be just the saddest movie ever. Luckily, with the way we're telling the story, Clay's protecting Hannah and defending her and he gets some justice.
KL: I really hope that happens. I would repost that if a fan made a movie about Clay and Hannah. It would be a very sad, but beautiful.

Q: Concatenated files put into main.js just keeps stacking instead of clearing the file then adding the code I'm trying to compile all my scripts into a single main.js file which I can then link to my index file. Problem is that all my script files are being concatenated and then just added to the main.js file, so if I save 3 times, I will basically have 3 copies of all my scripts concatenated and put in the main.js file.
I would like to either delete the main.js file each time I save and then run the concatenation, or just clean the file before adding the contents. Now if I try to delete the file using the del module, I receive an error stating that I can't delete files out of the working directory without forcing this action. I would like to avoid forcing this if possible.
I feel that there must be a more elegant way of doing this..
Here's my script task:
// Concat and compile our JS into a minified dist file
gulp.task('scripts', function() {
  return gulp.src('../app/public/assets/scripts/**/*.js')
    .pipe(jshint())
    .pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
    .pipe(concat('main.js'))
    //.pipe(del(['../app/public/assets/scripts/main.js'])) <-- Doesn't work without forcing
    .pipe(gulp.dest('../app/public/assets/scripts'))
    .pipe(gulpif(flags.build, gulp.dest('../app/dist/assets/scripts')))
    .pipe(rename({ suffix: '.min' }))
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(gulpif(flags.build, gulp.dest('../app/dist/assets/scripts')))
    .pipe(notify({ message: 'Finished compiling scripts' }));
});

A: I usually do something like this (very simplified :) ):
var PARAMS = {
    destPath: 'build',
    js: [
        'src/js/test1.js',
        'src/js/test2.js',
        // ecc...
    ],
    // other
};

var TARGETS = {
    dest: 'main.js', // dest file

    extra: [
        // This files are inclued only in .bundle.min.js version
        // extra file here
    ],

    js: [
        'src/js/test1.js',
        'src/js/test2.js',
        // ecc...
    ]
};

gulp.task('connect', function() {
    return connect.server({
        livereload: true,
        host: '0.0.0.0',
        port: 8000
    });
});

gulp.task('reload', ['build'], function () {
    return gulp.src(['sandbox/**/*.html'])
        .pipe(connect.reload());
});

gulp.task('watch', ['connect', 'build'], function () {
    var src = [];
    // other
    src = src.concat(PARAMS.js);
    return gulp.watch(src, ['reload']);
});

gulp.task('clean', function (done) {
    return del(['build'], done);
});

gulp.task('build', ['clean'], function () {
    return gulp.src(target.js);
        .pipe(concat(target.dest))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(PARAMS.destPath))  // Plain

        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(rename({ extname: '.min.js' }))  // Minified
        .pipe(gulp.dest(PARAMS.destPath))

        .pipe(addsrc(target.extra))
        .pipe(order(target.extra))
        .pipe(concat(target.dest))
        .pipe(rename({ extname: '.bundled.min.js' }))  // Bundled
        .pipe(gulp.dest(PARAMS.destPath));
});

gulp.task('default', ['build']);

New Music From Ari Lennox "Chocolate Pomegranate" Out Now On Dreamville/Interscope Records
Ari Lennox (Dreamville/Interscope Records) zooms back into the music space with her entrancing single "Chocolate Pomegranate." Flaunting her dulcet vocals, Lennox deftly breaks down her ride-or-die allegiance to her beau in hopes of securing a rock-solid foundation. Listen HERE.
Earlier this month, Lennox delighted fans with a hearty helping of her new record during her Genius' Open Mic performance. Decked out in Reebok Classic Leather Legacy sneakers, Lennox dazzled with her breezy swagger and searing lyrics.
In addition to teaming up with Reebok for her latest performance, Lennox partnered with Crown Royal earlier this month for a new collaboration designed to help bars, clubs, and stages affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The DC songbird joined forces with budding star Anthony Ramos to reimagine Sly & The Family Stone's "If You Want Me to Stay" to donate to the Main Stream Alliance Action. Crown Royal will donate $1 for every stream of the song, and Lennox will donate her royalties of the record to help the venues affected by the global crisis.
On the music side, Lennox has sharpened her presence on the R&B sphere with sizzling features on Skip Marley's "Make Me Feel" and Kiana Lede's "Chocolate." On the solo front, Lennox enticed listeners with three-track Shea Butter Baby EP, which included features by Smino and Doja Cat. The D.C. songstress also released her flirty video for "BUSSIT."
Ari is still reeling from an exciting 2019, which included a sold-out Shea Butter Baby Tour, a guest spot on Lizzo's Cuz I Love You Tour, and an impressive set in front of 40,000 fans at the inaugural Dreamville Fest. Additionally, she earned three 2019 Soul Train Award nominations. This year, Ari earned nominations at the NAACP, iHeart Music Awards, along with her GRAMMY nod for her work on the Dreamville album, Revenge of the Dreamers III.

Nigeria's Economy: President-Elect Buhari Will Face Fuel Shortages, Low Revenues And Boko Hara
By Kathleen Caulderwood @kcaulderwood k.caulderwood@ibtimes.com

Boko Haram isn't the only battle Nigeria is fighting. Africa's biggest economy is not only on the front lines of the militant group, but is also struggling under record-low fuel prices, high inflation and tumbling economic growth.
Nigeria's economic growth slowed to 4 percent in the first quarter of this year, down from 5.5 percent the year earlier, according to its National Bureau of Statistics. And economists say it's probably going to get worse for the country's incoming president.
"All in all, the poor performance underlines the challenge facing President-elect Muhammadu Buhari," wrote Capital Economics' John Ashbourne in a Thursday note.
Though he may be celebrating his recent victory over incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari will inherit an economy in desperate need of attention. Roughly 75 percent of Nigeria's government revenue comes from crude oil sales. But global prices have fallen more than 50 percent over the past year, which has left a massive hole in the state budget.
By the beginning of May, the government already had borrowed more than it had allotted for the entire year. Some public servants haven't been paid in months.
Nigeria's oil production has slowed to 2.2 million barrels per day. Even though the country is the largest oil producer in Africa, a lack of infrastructure means it is heavily reliant on imports, as CNBC reported.
Despite the record-low oil price and planned 90 percent cut to fuel subsidies, Nigerians around the country continually find themselves lining up for hours to gas up their cars thanks to fuel shortages around the country.
The one positive note has been the agriculture sector, which makes up about 18 percent of Nigeria's economy. Though it was hit hard by instability in the northeast last year, this year it appears to be bouncing back — increasing by 7.4 percent compared with 5.9 percent in 2014.
But it's not enough to change the general economic outlook for Nigeria in 2015, which isn't bright.
"Given the combination of slow growth and relative exchange rate stability, it looks likely that the Central Bank of Nigeria will hold off tightening monetary policy until later this year," Ashbourne wrote

Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail – Day 1: Rocky River Section is a 12.4km, grade 4 one way hike located in Flinders Chase National Park South Australia. The hike should take approximately 4hrs to complete.
Day one commences at the Flinders Chase Visitor Centre and takes you to the famous Platypus Waterholes where you may encounter the rare and elusive platypus. This shared section of the trail has plenty of interpretation and offers a great introduction to the park. When the path joins up with the Rocky River Trail you'll be immersed in dense eucalypt woodland that is home to a diversity of bird life and native animals. Reaching the Pardalote Lookout you will see the meandering Rocky River far below you as it flows out towards the Southern Ocean. You will then pass through riverbank and mallee habitats where wildflowers provide stunning arrays of colour all year around, along with orchids and fungi in the cooler months. Traversing your way down from the ridge towards the river you will come across the spectacular sight of the Rocky River Cascades. The day comes to a close at the Cup Gum Campground, a peaceful setting for your first night's rest hidden amongst tall sugar gums and old-growth cup gums.

Bringing education to the world's poor children
By Paul HunterFeature reporter
Sun., Dec. 28, 2014timer4 min. read
Tariq Fancy believes he can change the world.
So much so that the Torontonian abandoned a very lucrative salary as the youngest partner at a Wall Street investment firm and turned in his keys to a loft in Manhattan's Greenwich Village so he could come home to share a two-bedroom apartment over a noodle house on Baldwin St., earn no salary and chew through his savings.
He did all that because of his faith in The Rumie Initiative, a non-profit organization he began in 2013 to educate children in developing countries. Rumie distributes tablets preloaded with textbooks, interactive lessons and other instructive tools to areas where access to education is either limited or non-existent.
Fancy's brainchild is projected to dispense 30,000 of the $50 tablets in 2015 alone, largely targeting Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kenya, with an emphasis on getting them into the hands of girls in places where it is often impossible or dangerous for them to attend school. An important focus for Rumie in 2014 was Liberia, where Ebola forced the closure of schools.
The tablets are ingenious and impressive. They can hold up to 10,000 textbooks and be updated online. But they are designed to be self-contained and used in areas where there is little or no Internet access. Due to long battery life, it costs less than a dollar a year to keep them powered.
"A library for the cost of a book" is how Fancy describes one of the tablets.
"The simple goal is to lower the economic barriers to an education," says the 36-year-old, who exudes contagious passion for the project.
"The one thing that can improve the world the most is education. There are so many problems we could solve — climate change, human rights, poverty, war . . . The best way to solve them is to educate a billion kids who are underserved today. If you give tomorrow's adults all the tools, they'll be able to solve all those problems."
The initiative has caught the attention and financial backing of some heavy hitters in the business world including the recently retired CEO of TD Bank, Ed Clark, and Rob McEwen, the chairman and chief owner of McEwen Mining Inc.
"When you look at education and the positive impacts it has on standard of living, crime levels and eradication of poverty, and we have this growing inequity in the world, I thought this is an ideal thing to get behind," says McEwen, who has contributed $500,000 to the project.
"I was very impressed by Tariq himself, what he had accomplished both academically and business-wise and that he was pushing that aside to lead the charge on trying to educate parts of the world that don't have access to schools and regular education."
So why does a man who was educated at the University of Toronto Schools and four different universities — Brown, Oxford, the Inst. of Political Science in Paris and the international business school INSEAD —who is entering his prime earning years, pack it all in for an idealistic dream?
Fancy said it was a combination of both boredom and the sense he was "living somebody else's dream . . . I think there are diminishing returns at some point in making money. As long as you're comfortable, the real focus ought to be on what actually makes you happy, what excites you."
Some insight into Fancy's life helps understand what drives him. His parents are from Kenya and of South Asian background. His dad worked for Air Canada, so he spent much of his youth travelling cheaply. He grew up with a well-honed sense of the bigger world and its disparities.
There were also personal experiences that dramatically shaped Fancy's perspective. He recalls two of his mother's brothers, both brilliant. One was healthy and became a top lawyer; the other took ill, was in a wheelchair and struggled to pursue his education in Nairobi before dying relatively young.
It troubled Fancy that someone "super intelligent, super capable" didn't get adequate access to education.
Then, when studying in France, Fancy's best friend, who had a passion for charitable work, contracted cancer and died in 2013. Fancy said he visited his grave in Amsterdam and was overcome with a feeling that he had to do more with his life.
"Standing there, I just thought to myself, the only thing to differentiate between me and him is luck. Frankly, the same thing with my uncle in Nairobi — why did he not get the chance to have an education or the chance to fall in love and get married? He was unlucky. At that point, it was like I was at the end of a diving board and it pushed me," says Fancy, who will marry Meher Zaidi next year. She is of Pakistani origin, born and raised in Dubai.
"I've been lucky in life. I'll never be living on the street, I don't think, but I don't want to live with regrets. If I can give the next five years to something I'm absolutely convinced will change the world, I'll just do it. I don't care if I have to work 100 hours a week or burn through my savings or whatever. That emotional push gives you lots of strength."
If I were the city of Toronto, my New Year's resolution would be to assume a role at the centre of global innovation, especially on social issues that can transform humanity for the better.
