Revisiting CARE FOR ME: Two years later
Kyle Atkinson
Next up on the docket of 2018 albums to look back at is Saba's CARE FOR ME. Saba hasn't released any new singles recently and I'm definitely anticipating them. Here's a look back at an album review that I originally wrote almost two years ago on April 5th, 2020. At the bottom you'll find my analysis of how this album stands up in 2020. Here's part three of my revisiting series, focusing on CARE FOR ME by Saba.
Revisiting CARE FOR ME
I know that Saba isn't the most popular artist to come out of Chicago, but he's definitely one of the best. He puts his heart and soul into each release and deserves to be bigger than he is. But sometimes people don't always get what they deserve.
Saba released his first project, 2012's GETCOMFORTable, and has been releasing a new project subsequently every two years. 2014's ComfortZone was a huge step for his career as he produced almost all of the songs on the tape and gained more attention throughout the country. In 2015, Saba was featured on Chance The Rapper's single "Angels" and performed it on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This caused a huge increase in his popularity for Saba.
In 2016, Saba released his debut album Bucket List Project, which focused on his early life on Chicago's West Side. The album was met with critical acclaim from many outlets, and had features from many artists such as Twista, Noname, and Smino. 2017 was a year for single releases for Saba, as he released songs such as "Monday to Monday", "There You Go", and "Where Ideas Sing".
Saba officially announced CARE FOR ME on February 27th, 2018 and released "Busy" along with the announcement. He also announced a tour in support of the album, as well as the release date of April 5th, 2018. This has been a long-awaited project for many, so let's see what Saba delivered this time.
The Good: During my first listen through, Saba's amazing lyrical ability definitely stands out. Each song contains different stories and flows, keeping everything interesting and not stale. The beats are also superb, with Saba once again producing every song on this project.
The Bad: There isn't a lot wrong with this album upon first listen. The only thing that I can even complain about is that the album isn't long enough. It's only 10 tracks, but should be at least 2 or 3 tracks longer. It's that good.
Lyrics/Flow
The Good: As I mentioned above, Saba's lyrics are absolutely his calling card. On every song on this project, he displays his amazing flows that contain realistic lyrics and marvelous storytelling abilities. I don't have any complaints about his subject matter, because all of Saba's projects are focused on things that he has lived and he frames them in fascinating ways.
The Bad: The only complaint that I have about the lyrics/flows on this project are on some of the hooks. Some of them are a bit too simple and slow, and it would definitely benefit to have a faster-paced hook on a few of the songs. Such as on "BROKEN GIRLS", the chorus is only made up of 7 different words. It's probably intentional, but it gets a bit boring to listen to multiple times.
The Good: If Saba wasn't such a good lyricist and decided to stop rapping all together, he could definitely thrive in this industry as a producer. His beats are so focused and concise and he fits perfectly over them. He has his sound nailed to a T, yet he still finds ways to do new things on his projects.
The Bad: The ONLY complaint I can give about the beats on this album is that a few of them sound quite similar. For example, the beats on "LIFE" and "SMILE" sound pretty similar in regards to the instruments that are used. That being said, the beats definitely aren't a deal breaker. Listen to this album.
Replayability
The Good: This album contains 10 tracks that span about 41 minutes. You have the chance to listen to one of the best hip hop albums of 2018 thus far in less than an hour and I'd suggest that you take that chance. You can even listen to it multiple times in a row, because there are definitely a lot of albums that are more than 41 minutes that aren't nearly this good.
The Bad: Some of the songs on this album may be a bit long for the casual hip hop fan, clocking in at anywhere between 4-7 minutes. While this is nothing for a seasoned hip hop listener, it may be a bit much for someone who isn't as used to the storytelling that is ever present in this genre. Hip hop isn't just made up of 2 minute bangers that have no content, there are tracks that take a bit more time to unravel their stories.
This album is a work of art. So naturally, it's hard to choose the songs that stand out when they're all so good. But my personal favorites (and the tracks that I think give an idea of what the album is about) are "BUSY/SIRENS", "SMILE", "LOGOUT", and "PROM/KING".
I'll be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan of 2016's Bucket List Project when it was released. Not to say it was a bad album, but I think that I had just psyched myself up into believing that Bucket List Project would be a continuation of ComfortZone (my favorite project of his). And when the album released and wasn't even close to the style of ComfortZone, I didn't care for it at all.
But alas, I went back to Bucket List Project with a different mindset and absolutely loved it. This newfound love of Saba's debut album set my expectations pretty high when I saw his announcement for CARE FOR ME. But this time, I told myself to remember that Saba is a constantly evolving artist and that I need to be ready for something completely different from both ComfortZone and Bucket List Project.
Here's the thing about CARE FOR ME: it IS totally different from ComfortZone, Bucket List Project, and Saba's numerous singles. But that isn't a bad thing at all. It shows his artistic progression and desire to tell his stories in new and interesting ways. This project is absolutely and completely beautiful and I consider it a work of art. It is Saba's best work thus far and he has solidified himself in my mind as one of the best young artists that Chicago has seen in a long time.
Bottom line: this is one of the best hip hop albums of 2018 so far. You'd be making a mistake if you disregard and don't listen to it. Give Saba the respect that he has rightfully earned and listen to his exceptional new project.
Final Score: 8.6/10
Impressions of the album in 2020
Before deciding to write this piece, I went back and listened to CARE FOR ME for the first time in almost a year. The album again blew me out of the water with its honest lyrics, good beats, and amazing subject matter. "PROM/KING" still hits as hard as it did on day one and makes me thankful for the people in my life. I remember why it took the #2 spot in my top 10 hip hop albums of 2018, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Since I discovered him in 2014, Saba has remained one of my favorite hip hop artists. He has proven himself time and time again with his mixtapes, albums, singles, and work on the side. He's constantly evolving and doesn't stick with the same style for too long. His flows are only getting bigger and I think he has another classic in him. I'm not sure where he is going with his next project, but I'm sure it'll be legendary. He's gained a lot of exposure from his recent work with Dreamville and Ghetto Sage and that excites me even more. I don't think he'll ever be a household name, but he's made his place in this game and will stick to it for years.
Saba, I want to thank you for creating an album that has stood the test of time for two years and will for many more. You're an inspiration to many and an amazing artist. I can't wait for whatever you've got cooking next (but the sooner the better, please)!

I recently received quite a few passionate "Letters to the Editor" in reference to one of our safety spent a couple of days last month at the Solar Power International Show in Dallas. It was the first time I've attended one of these events. I'd heard this show was big, but had no idea how big until I walked from one end of the Dallas Convention Center to the other — several times, both days!
My goal in attending was to: get a better handle on the products and services being offered in this sector; expand my knowledge of the technical challenges in the areas of manufacturing, design and installation; and learn a little more about the financial, legislative, and regulatory issues surrounding this market. The time I spent on the exhibit floor and in the conference sessions was well worth the effort. In fact, a breaking news announcement made during the show has proven to be quite controversial.
A group of seven solar manufacturers, known as the Coalition of American Solar Manufacturing (CASM) filed a trade complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the Department of Commerce on October 19, claiming that subsidies in China are allowing Chinese manufacturers to illegally dump their solar products in the U.S. market and drive out other competitors. In quick response to this trade petition, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) conducted a briefing for show attendees to explain the filing and the review process. As you might imagine, this session and subsequent announcements in recent weeks have created quite a stir.
Following this filing, there's been a flurry of activity among the manufacturers, designers, and installers in this green market sector. On November 7, the CASM announced the United Steelworkers Union is supporting its cause, along with approximately 75 other employers. CASM also claims federal trade data shows Chinese exports into the United States in July alone exceeded all of 2010. On November 8, two executives from SolarWorld Industries America, Inc., Hillsboro, Ore., testified before the ITC on behalf of the group. The Commerce Department agreed to launch an investigation into the matter. On the same day, a rival group of 25 companies formed the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy (CASE). This group notes "global competition is making affordable solar energy a reality in America and around the world," and any "action to block or dramatically curtail solar cell imports from China places that goal at risk." They view this trade complaint as being short-sighted and warn it could lead to higher-priced components and slow down market growth.
All of this action has forced those in the solar sector to take up sides in this heated debate. Which side will prevail? We should have an answer to this question fairly soon. On December 5, the ITC will issue a ruling on its initial findings. If it finds in favor of the CASM petition, then additional investigation work will continue.
Which side of the fence am I standing on? At first glance, I understand the concern of the CASM and agree that the Chinese government must properly disclose the subsidies it's dishing out. On the other hand, the CASE group's argument makes sense too. If any additional roadblocks to growth are thrown up based on this filing, then I can easily see this leading to a market slowdown. So I guess I'm sitting on the fence right now instead of standing on either side of it. How about sharing your thoughts with me and moving me out of my position of limbo?

Have you noticed lately the amount of beautiful photos displaying cameras as if they are the ultimate fashion accessory?
I love photography, I just love photography. I'm happiest when I'm taking photos…and I love my camera even though it's big and heavy…especially when I've got my whole kit on me… it weighs 6.5 kg!
I love old cameras and film cameras and decorating my home with cameras.I love looking at photos, I love finding and sharing beautiful photos.
Have you noticed the amount of beautiful photos displaying cameras as if they are the ultimate fashion accessory lately?
And so they are the ultimate accessory in my very biased mind . Clearly some of them are vintage and probably not operational…but gosh they look good.
Here's a gallery I'll keep adding to - thanks so far to Pexels.com, Pixabay.com and Unsplash.com and Bigstock.com amongst others for these images.

On March 17, 2015, the Secretary of the Interior approved the inclusion of 6 Kentucky properties into the National Register of Historic Places. The properties are located in Campbell, Jefferson, Kenton, and Pike Counties and represent Kentucky's manufacturing, residential, entertainment, and educational past.
These six sites were previously profiled here and here. And you can read more about the National Register of Historic Places here.
Marianne Theatre Marquee. NRHP Application.
This Bellevue, Kentucky, theatre was designed by Registered Architect Paul B. Kiel in 1941 in the Art Deco and Moderne Style. It was built by owner-manager Peter L. Smith in 1942 in the center of the 600 block of Fairfield Avenue in Bellevue, Kentucky. Already on the National Register as part of the Fairfield Avenue Historic District, the property is being indvididually listed to draw additional attention to it.
There once were over 60 neighborhood theaters in northern Kentucky and the Marianne was one of the finest.
Charles Young Center. NRHP Application.
Across the street from Lexington's Isaac Murphy Memorial Garden stands the Charles Young Park and Community Center. This part of Lexington's East End is undergoing a renaissance and the Charles Young facilities stand to be a landmark in this change.
The park has been owned by the city since 1930 and the one-story brick veneered side-gable community center is an icon of Third Street. During Jim Crow-era Kentucky, segregation dictated separate community facilities for blacks. According to the nomination, the "Charles Young Park provides an important physical and spatial indication of the existence of the East End community, and the importance that a public place holds for any community— for recreation and civic gathering."
Circa 1950 Aerial of Lynn Acres. NRHP Application.
The 66 two-story apartment buildings in Louisville's southside were constructed between 1947 and 1950. The complex includes a variety of 12-, 8-, and 4-plex units with greenspace behind each structure intended for children's play but which is now used by many residents for gardening.
The brick construction and side-gabled roofs had architectural attention in their design - a rarity in today's residential apartment design. But perhaps the layout of the buildings deserves the most attention as the green space between them and the connected streets are key to good community design.
LG&E Service Station Complex. NRHP Application.
Also known as the Edison Building, this gas and electrical service station was constructed ca. 1924. It stands on a 4+ acre lot at Louisville's 7th and Ormsby, and all of the acreage is included in the nomination. Even before 1924, the site's utility was related to generating power.
The main structure is cube-shaped and constructed primarily of poured cement. The south façade is the most decorated of the four sides and it is divided into 9 bays. The three-story structure was built with the potential of expansion to 8-stories, but demand was never realized for the additional square footage. A red brick gate house, ca. 1890, also stands on the property.
Hellman Lumber and Manufacturing Co.
On Covington's 12th Street, stands the Hellman Lumber and Manufacturing Co. This warehouse was built from 1886-1894 and the company is one of the community's oldest businesses dating to 1879. Without a doubt, many of Covington's structures have been built with wood that has passed through this facility.
The nomination form describes the main warehouse as "an intact two-story two-bay side-gabled brick warehouse-style corner commercial building that is approximately 14,000-16,000 square feet. The original foundation is wet-masonry limestone." The building and its story represent an intact representation of the era's booming lumber industry.
Elkhorn City High School. NRHP Application.
Near the heart of Elkhorn City are its schools with the complex (6.8 acres) including 6 structures, of which 3 are contributing to the historic character: a 1938 WPA high school, a 1956 elementary school, and a 1956 music instruction building.
Elkhorn City lies in Pike County about 20 miles from the seat of Pikeville. During the academic life of these buildings as academic facilities, 1938 to the 1980s, the manpower required for coal mining increasingly declined even when demand was high due to mechanization of the process. The nomination form provides that "These facilities demonstrate a continual dedication to public education within this rural Kentucky community. Their existence displays a successful development from rural school facilities into a modernized educational system."

"Get an education" ...traditon v technology and emotions
Posted by Autry Haynes on October 7, 2016 at 6:05am
"Autry, can you come early, like one hour before so that we can prepare? would like to put somethings on powerpoint.." Piriscilla. "Okay.." said Autry. I always keep an open mind. In fact a colleague and me had a conversation on almost similar subject only recently. How does our way of working with only paper, markers etc fit in today's hi-tech world? How do we balance our traditional way of doing things with the fast-paced world, especially with a younger generation that is 'addicted' to this world? Must say sometimes I contemplate powerpoint as well (^_^). So, now I wanted to experience what I am about to experience. Assurance of the need was that the community forms part of a Poverty Eradication Network cell and some people may not be able to read and / nor write but will be able to communicate with pictures / drawing.
We arrived early to set up our technology, laptop and projector after the pleasantries, introduction of SALT by powerpoint, said to myself "okay!" Autry was introduced. I had mentioned quietly to the third member [Yumella] of our party, the chairs should have been in a circular arrangement. Her response, "well lets get them to do it." Then, as I would usually do, adjust what we plan to do. I appreciated everyone [approximately 25 adults and 10 children] for making the effort to come out for this event. "I would like to begin 'your tasting SALT' with a question, what are you most proud of? think for a moment and I would like you have a conversation of this question in groups?" The intention was to change the seating arrangements, THEN the electricity went. Thanks to technology, many persons in the room had portable with torch, within seconds there was enough light to continue the conversation in the groups. It was then I realized that the children was in a group by themselves with an adult.
The feedback in the dim-lighted room was remarkable. We asserted that 'you are truly proud of who you are, since each group had similar indicators of what you are proud of."
The Are you human and why? as well as the 'Paper Pull" exercises were conducted in the semi-lighted condition with zero impact as to positive responses from the community members.
The next exercise was the "concerns and hopes" THEN appeared the electricity (^_^). On the 'heart shaped' paper individuals expressed one concern and one hope. The NOW well-lit room was gripped with silence, listening attentively, appreciation and support as hearts were poured out with respect to concerns and hopes. "I am a proud step-mom of two children[late teens / early adult] and I would do anything to give my children an education. I cannot read and every time I have to travel it is a concern because I cannot read the signs on the buses to know which one to join based on where I want to go. Please get an education she implored!" In tears the two young people supported their mom and shared their concern and hope.
On the 'Paper Pull' exercise one child response on what does this exercise mean for you? "it teaches us that it is easy to break something but not easy to put back." Another individual "It teach me that we should think twice before we do something especially negative things.
The AER was met with similar emotional sharing and invitation to continue with SALT.
.....and this is why I appreciate SALT (^_^)


In what civil liberties groups hope will lead to an end of unchecked cell phone tracking of U.S. residents, a federal court of appeals has ruled that law enforcement agencies cannot obtain a person's historical cell phone location information from cell phone companies without a legal warrant signed by a judge.
In a decision that is likely to propel the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court, the 4th Circuit of Appeals on Wednesday ruled the practice of tracking individuals using information stored on a person's phone or within a company's database system without court approval is an unconstitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment's guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure.
The decision is the strongest assertion of the Fourth Amendment rights of mobile phone users out of three appellate court decisions on the matter, setting up a likely Supreme Court hearing.
"The tide I think is turning," said Hanni Fakhoury, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which joined a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of Aaron Graham, a man convicted of armed robbery after his cell phone location information over seven months was obtained by the government from Sprint.
Nathan Freed Wessler, a staff attorney with the ACLU, called the opinion "a full-throated defense of Fourth Amendment privacy rights in the digital age."
In previously heard challenges, the two other appeals courts which reviewed the issue—both the 5th and 11th Circuits—ruled differently than the 4th Circuit as they took the side of government lawyers who argued that cell phone users should have no expectation of privacy when their cell phone data is already in the hands of their phone company.
But as Wessler explains, the historic legal idea of the "third party doctrine" should no longer apply in an era when our phones can reveal so much about our personal lives. "Cell phone location records can reveal some of the most private details about our lives by showing where we go and who we spend time with. Requiring a warrant for access to this information is an important protection against unjustified government intrusions."
Cell phone location records can reveal some of the most private details about our lives by showing where we go and who we spend time with. Requiring a warrant for access to this information is an important protection against unjustified government intrusions."
And the court agreed with that position. As the ruling itself stated, "We cannot accept the proposition that cell phone users volunteer to convey their location information simply by choosing to activate and use their cell phones and to carry the devices on their person. Cell phone use is not only ubiquitous in our society today but, at least for an increasing portion of our society, it has become essential to full cultural and economic participation."
However, with discrepant rulings at the appellate court level, it appears as though it will be up to the nation's highest court to weigh in.

Lee County elementary school teacher takes on two very different passions
10:09 AM EDT, Fri August 24, 2018
Math lessons with M&Ms and story time fill Stephen Damico's classroom at Three Oaks Elementary School during the day.
At night, Damico becomes "Syther", a local professional wrestler who only speaks gibberish and commands the ring with his high energy performance.
"When I would interview for [teaching] jobs, [I thought] 'man they're never going to hire me,' Damico said.
With a ponytail and earring, he doesn't look or act like a typical teacher. He's known for discipline and little tolerance for distraction in the classroom.
"I don't want to say he's not nurturing, but his first instinct is to really run a tight ship," Jody Moorhead, the principal at Three Oaks who hired him five years ago said.
Damico has been wrestling professionally since he was a teenager.
His eventual goal is to make it to the WWE, but for now, he's still focused on the impact he can make with following his other passion: teaching.
"I'm definitely different and I think that's positive," Damico said. "That's a good message to send to the kids that you can be different. And no one should stop you from doing what you do because of that."
Damico or "Syther" typically wrestles during the first Tuesday of each month at the Riverside Community Center in Fort Myers.

Q: ReconfigExistingLoggers with external file I use NLog in an Android xamarin project.
I add a base NLog.config file in the asset to make configuration and include under it an external file who I want to set the file directory at runtime with a variable.
Here is an exemple of my config file:
<variable name="DataDirectory" value="app_Log"/>
<include file="${var:DataDirectory}/nlog*.config" ignoreErrors="false"/>

 <targets>
    <target name="f1" xsi:type="File"   fileName="${var:DataDirectory}/${shortdate}.log"/>
  </targets>

  <rules>
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="f1" />
  </rules>

The variable DataDirectory is set at runtime before call the  LogManager.ReconfigExistingLoggers() function.
All work well for the target, but NLog don't read the external file to merge it.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance
Olivier

The Functioning of the ISS After Sanctions
Home » The Functioning of the ISS After Sanctions
GS-3 Science and Technology
Even though the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia including a ban on transfer of technology, the scheduled missions for a transfer of crew on the ISS between the two countries seem to be unaffected.
GS-III Science and Technology: (Space Technology, Developments in Space technology)
Dimension of the Article:
What is a Space Station?
What is Russia's role in maintaining the ISS?
Why does the orbit of the ISS need to be corrected?
A Space station is an artificial structure placed in orbit, having the pressurized enclosure, power, supplies, and environmental systems necessary to support human habitation for extended periods.
In simple words: a space station, also called an orbital station, is a large spacecraft or man-made station in space which can act as a home where astronauts live and/or receive several spacecrafts from the Earth and/or act as a kind of science lab, etc.
Depending on its configuration, a space station can serve as a base for a variety of activities.
These include observations of the Sun and other astronomical objects, study of Earth's resources and environment, military reconnaissance, and long-term investigations of the behaviour of materials and biological systems—including human physiology and biochemistry—in a state of weightlessness, or microgravity.
How are space stations set up and how do they work?
Small space stations are launched fully assembled, but larger stations are sent up in modules and assembled in orbit. To make the most efficient use of its carrier vehicle's capacity, a space station is launched vacant, and its crew members—and sometimes additional equipment—follow in separate vehicles. A space station's operation, therefore, requires a transportation system to ferry crews and hardware and to replenish the propellant, air, water, food, and such other items as are consumed during routine operations. Space stations use large panels of solar cells and banks of storage batteries as their source of electrical power. They also employ geostationary relay satellites for continuous communication with mission controllers on the ground and satellite-based positioning systems for navigation.
How many Space Stations have we launched?
Since 1971, more than 10 space stations have been launched into a low orbit around Earth and have been occupied for varying lengths of time.
Important Space stations in chronological order are Salyut 1, Skylab, Salyuts 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, Mir, the International Space Station, and Tiangong 1 and 2.
The International Space Station (ISS) is a modular space station (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit.
The ISS program is a multi-national collaborative project between five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada).
The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.
The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific experiments are conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields.
It is the largest artificial object in space and the largest satellite in low Earth orbit, regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth's surface.
The ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations as well as Skylab from the US.
Reuters report
According to a Reuters report, this was followed by a statement from the head of the Russian Space Agency — Roscosmos — where he demanded the lift of the sanctions, some of which predate Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
He said that the sanctions could disrupt the functioning of the Russian spacecraft that serviced the International Space Station.
This could lead to the Russian segment of the ISS, which helps in correcting the orbit of the ISS being affected. He said that this meant the ISS could fall into the sea or on the land.
He further said that the Russian segment ensures that the space station's orbit is corrected to keep it away from space debris, roughly 11 times a year.
He pointed out, publishing a map, that the ISS would likely crash down on some country, but most probably not Russia itself.
The ISS is built with the co-operation of scientists from five international space agencies — NASA of the U.S., Roscosmos of Russia, JAXA of Japan, Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency.
Each agency has a role to play and a share in the upkeep of the ISS.
Both in terms of expense and effort, it is not a feat that a single country can support.
Russia's part in the collaboration is the module responsible for making course corrections to the orbit of the ISS.
They also ferry astronauts to the ISS from the Earth and back.
Until SpaceX's dragon spacecraft came into the picture the Russian spacecrafts were the only way of reaching the ISS and returning.
Due to its enormous weight and the ensuing drag, the ISS tends to sink from its orbit at a height of about 250 miles above the Earth.
It has to be pushed up to its original line of motion every now and then.
Approximately once a month this effort has to be made. It is not necessarily a regular operation, and may be missed once and compensated for later.
The other reason for altering the path of the ISS is to avoid its collision with space debris, which can damage the station.
These manoeuvres need to be done as and when the debris is encountered.
Manoeuvering:
Manoeuvering the ISS is expensive.
In a year, 7-8 tonnes of fuel may need to be spent, with each manoeuvre costing nearly a tonne of fuel.
If a manoeuvre is put off for later, the ISS may sink a little more and the delayed operation would cost more as a larger correction needs to be made.
If Russia should back out of the effort, are there spacecrafts that can substitute?
There are right now two possibilities.
SpaceX's dragon module and Boeing's Starliner can dock with the ISS.
Starliner also has the capacity to carry, say, ten tonnes of fuel.
What is the likelihood of Russia backing out?
Though there have been previous occasions when conflicts have risen between Russia and the U.S., the operation of the ISS has not been interrupted.
There are two missions planned for March 18, and one astronaut is already there on site.
The mission means to take up two Russians and an American astronaut, and the preparatory work is in progress.
On March 30, it is planned that the mission will return an American astronaut to Earth from the ISS.
These seem to be going on as per plan.
Is it true that Russia does not have the risk of the ISS crashing down on their country?
The orbit of the ISS does not fly over the Russian territory mostly.
Places that are closer to the equator run a greater risk of it falling in their domain.
The orbit is at about 50 degrees and so most probably, the ISS will fall in that level.
But this is only a probability, as it can move or disintegrate.
But in case of this eventuality, people in the ISS will be brought back, modules can be detached thereby making it much smaller which will ensure that it disintegrates before touching the earth.
Static Quiz 30 January 2023 (Environment)


This is one of the very few inexpensive books which provides details of automatic cannon ammunition, both current and historical, of up to 30mm calibre. Rifle/MG and handgun/SMG ammo are also included. It does not include everything, and is slightly out of date, but is still a handy quick reference.
Provides details of ammunition used in German aircraft guns in WW2. Especially valuable for its detailed ballistic data, and the penetration curves for AP ammo.
Comprehensive detail of the development of all types of US ammunition from pistols to HMG rounds. Vol 1 covers 1880-1939, Vol 2 1939-45. All service loadings, and many experimental loadings and cartridges, are covered.
A reprint of official US Army data sheets, covering guns and ammunition as well as other military equipment. The ammunition section is particularly useful as it provides details, and sectioned drawings, of cartridges and projectiles up to 16" calibre. There are also details of fuzes, rockets, mines, grenades and other nasties.
A handy book describing rifle and MG cartridges of up to 18mm calibre, from the earliest ones to the present day. All rounds are illustrated by photographs and have detailed measurements provided, with the more common ones having details of different loadings. Some experimentals also included. A new edition is now available, but so far only in French.
Very detailed description of the variety of loadings for the standard 7.92x57 round, but also includes other German cartridges of this calibre. Not much on muzzle velocities and nothing on ballistics.
A classic by the master of this subject. Covers calibres up to one inch, including many experimental types, e.g. Gerlich 'squeezebores'. Cartridges are photographed, with many sectioned drawings.
Another classic, containing details and illustrations of all of the loadings of this round, plus many experimental variants.
Mainly consists of scale drawings, often part-sectioned, of rifle, MG and cannon cartridges of up to 40mm calibre. Hardly any information is provided about them, however.
A more useful work than the one above, giving much more detail about the cartridges, including brief historical notes, plus sectioned drawings of different projectiles, fuzes etc.
A compendium of contemporary sectioned drawings of the different rounds used in, or considered for, the Luftwaffe's aircraft guns. Many experimental cartridges and projectiles are included.
Details of known headstamps for every loading (including Commonwealth production), including colour photos of the cartridges.
Drawings and detailed information about the rifle, MG and cannon cartridges and loadings of up to 30mm calibre. Essential. A new and expanded two-part edition has been produced, with illustrations in colour.
These are in two different formats. Most are typed booklets of around 20-30 pages, with sectioned drawings of all of the projectiles used with the cartridges being described. Historical notes and loading data are also provided. A few of the booklets are bigger and glossier, and include photographs as well. This is far from a complete list, but includes the ones I consult most often.
What can I say? This is the Bible for all those interested in this subject, around 2,500 pages in five volumes packed with information. However, although an invaluable resource it is not without flaws. Most obviously, it does not cover any Russian guns after WW2 (the 1987 volume mainly deals with US developments, with some from Western Europe). It is also very idiosyncratic in its approach, with masses of detail about some unimportant weapons, hardly a mention of some major ones. There is a strong emphasis on aircraft guns, including non-automatic ones! Some ammunition information, but not a lot.
An excellent general history, with very useful data tables on guns and ammunition. Published posthumously, and seems not to have been adequately proof-read.
The subtitled says it all: A Comprehensive Study of Soviet Guns and Ammunition in Calibres 12.7mm to 57mm. Absolutely essential, contains huge amounts of information about both guns and ammunition, including colour photos of different ammunition loadings. Nothing else remotely compares with this coverage.
The first part of Robert's magnum opus, decades in the preparation. Descriptions and line drawings by the author of all known guns and ammunition (including different loadings) in this calibre, including experimental items only known from drawings. My only complaint: a lack of technical data.
A good descriptive history from the Maxims up to the present day, including 20mm and some larger weapons. Frustratingly lacking in data about the weapons and ammunition, though.
A useful survey, well illustrated with some unusual items and even with a data table (hooray!) but not much detail in it.
A great little booklet, providing the most comprehensive coverage of this subject.
A good primer on the subject, particularly useful for the data tables of 20th century artillery developed by various countries.
The classic work, recently reprinted. Unusual in including much information about ammunition.
As above, but regrettably with less about ammo.
Details of Japanese Army equipment, including guns of all calibres, and some ammo data too.
An absolute 'must have', recently reprinted. Detailed data about everything!
Detailed and comprehensive, mainly for equipment currently in service.
Basic, but a useful quick reference.
Contains a brief historical overview of gun development, then details contemporary weapons. Oh yes, and there's rockets and bombs and missiles too.
A classic. Loads of photos and drawings of First World War guns.
The first volume deals with gun turrets, the second with guns and sights, from WW1 to the present day.
This is based on an academic study, and is a very detailed and well-referenced analysis. Famous (or notorious) for debunking the myth of the "tankbusting" Allied fighter-bombers.
A useful, well-illustrated reference, much of it based on Chinn but with illustrations and details of the ammo!
Deals with the installations in aircraft, not with the guns themselves. Much information unobtainable elsewhere.
Especially good on the development of the Hispano, but it covers the others as well. Written by a man who was there, and heavily involved.

The presence of a central auditory processing disorder can only be determined utilizing a comprehensive battery of tests performed by an audiologist. However, certain behaviors can help identify at-risk children and adults with CAPD. The following list are commonly reported behaviors of clients referred to the Able Kids Foundation.
Children and adults with CAPD may also demonstrate delayed responses to verbal stimuli in an effort to "buy time" to process incomplete information. The auditory input they receive may be degraded enough that the individual needs more time to integrate incomplete information into a meaningful message.

Caregiver Services Volunteer Ron Dexter: 'I'm Giving of My Gifts'
If a caregiver wants to talk, Ron Dexter is ready to listen. Ron is a Wilder volunteer who calls people connected with Wilder Caregiver Services to ask how they are doing. These check-in calls help Caregiver Services reach caregivers whose needs have changed, and they can often serve as a morale boost for people who are caring for family members or friends.
Every month, Ron calls from a list of 50-100 people. He notes when the people he calls would benefit from a caregiver consultant so that a professional can reach out to them. "Sometimes, it's just enough for people to hear from Ron," says Mona Walden-Frey, manager of Wilder Caregiver Services. "He's an incredibly compassionate person who really connects with people."
Ron says that he can empathize with many of the caregivers he calls. At 78, he and his wife have provided caregiving for family members and friends. He had multiple careers, including human resources for the federal government and in information technology, before retiring in 2005. Throughout his career, he enjoyed solving problems and now uses that skill as a volunteer. "I like connecting with people when I feel I can give them something," he says.
In addition to calling caregivers, Ron helps lead Powerful Tools for Caregiving classes with Wilder staff. He also volunteers at the Science Museum of Minnesota. For his contributions, Ron was one of four volunteers who received Wilder's 2018 Sandy Kiernat Community Service Award. Ron says the recognition feels good, but volunteering is its own reward. "I think I'm giving of my gifts, and I need that in my own life," he says.

Lewandowski tries to put Ballon d'Or tension with Messi behind him
The 2021 Ballon d'Or results created tension between Robert Lewandowski and Lionel Messi. Curiously enough, they are ready to face each other in the upcoming FIFA World Cup when Argentina and Poland meet in the group stage in Qatar 2022.

"There is not much to be said when it comes to Argentina," Lewandowski said FIFA.com about having Lionel ScaloniTeam as competitors in the group stage. "It's a huge team and one of the favorites to win the championship in my opinion.
"With an absolute legend like Leo Messi as their figurehead, there is no doubt that it will be the toughest match for us. It would be great to face such a great side with such talented players," Lewandowski added.

25 Incredible World Series records


Factors affecting ventricular volumes determined by a count-based equilibrium method.
Using a 99mTc-filled source ("ventricle") in an elliptical torso phantom, we analyzed the effect of source depth, region of interest (ROI) size, background concentration and source shape on volumes determined by an attenuation-corrected count-based equilibrium method. The calculated volume of a 96 cc sphere decreased linearly from 103 to 82 cc with increasing depth from 4 to 18 cm [vol = -1.48 X depth (cm) + 109, r = 0.99]. The calculated volume of the same sphere imaged at a depth of 9 cm increased from 98 to 117 cc with ROI sizes increasing from 161 to 1,369 pixels (1 pixel = 0.17 cm2). With increasing background concentration from 0-2 microCi/ml calculated volumes decreased from 95 to 85 cc (vol = -5.3 X background concentration (microCi/ml) + 95, r = 0.97). However, with correction for over-subtraction of background, increasing background activity caused no decrease in calculated volume (mean = 95 cc, s.d. = 1). Calculated volumes for the sphere and various cylinders were accurate, while those for cones were up to 37% lower for actual volumes ranging from 56-608 cc. This study demonstrates that multiple factors produce variability in count-based determination of phantom volumes. A careful consideration of the interaction of these factors with the edge-detection and computational algorithms is required.


NEW DELHI: Indian race walker Rani Yadav has tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone, becoming the third person at the Commonwealth Games to be caught doping.
The Commonwealth Games Federation says Yadav, who was sixth in the women's 20-kilometer walk on Saturday, has been provisionally suspended from the event.
Yadav could be banned for two years if found guilty. Over the previous two days, two Nigerian runners were found to be positive for the banned stimulant Methylhexaneamine, with Osayomi Oludamola later stripped of her gold medal in the women's 100-meter race. Hurdler Samuel Okon, who did not win a medal, also tested positive.
Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennell said more than 1,300 doping samples had been collected so far at the games.
"Everyone would concede that to have three doping cases of those 1,300 tests is not a bad record," Fennell said. "And two of those have been concluded for substances that are considered by many to be not in the serious area of doping activity, which is stimulants. This new case has not been heard and I would not want to make any comments on that."
The World Anti-Doping Agency recently loosened the classification of Methylhexaneamine for next year to the "specified stimulant" list, which covers drugs that are more susceptible to inadvertent use and can carry reduced penalties. Sanctions for use of the drug can be reduced if athletes can prove they did not intend to enhance performance. Penalties can range from a warning to a two-year ban.
WADA said Methylhexaneamine was sold as a medicine until the early 1970s and has now reappeared in some nutritional supplements and cooking oils.
Nandrolone, however, is a steroid used to enhance performance. The Commonwealth Games seem to have improved their anti-doping efforts after being criticized by WADA following the games in Melbourne four years ago.
India has excelled at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at this year's games, and on Tuesday night the country won only its second Commonwealth Games gold medal ever on the track when the women's 4×400 relay sprinted to victory.
Indians also recorded a sweep of the medals in the women's discus on Monday.
"It's unfortunate," organizing committee secretary-general Lalit Bhanot said of the positive result before adding that India's national anti-doping agency is "very serious about this."
"It sends a message that if people are going to use drugs, they will get caught," Bhanot said.

Traditionally falling under the maid of honor and bridesmaids' list of duties, planning the bridal shower is one of the more fun and light-hearted of the wedding festivities. But whether you're the bride's best friend or her mother, we don't want you to stress. From etiquette to theme ideas, here's a complete guide to planning the most perfect of bridal showers!
Planning more than just the shower? Check out our complete wedding planning guide.
So long are the days of the dowry and hello to the days of "showering" the bride (and the groom) with lots of wonderful gifts to fill their first home together. But who comes, who brings gifts and are there any specific must-do's or please don'ts to take into consideration?
The bridal shower should be scheduled after all of the engagement parties, after the couple registers at their stores of choice. Typically it's scheduled a month or two in advance of the wedding.
Any time of the day is fine, with the afternoon being the most popular slot – with Sunday's following as the most popular as well.
Bridal showers can be hosted by a variety of people, such as a friend, member of the wedding (any gender), and it could be single gender, or co-ed. The Maid of Honor typically hosts this with the help of the other bridesmaids.
The invitations should be bought/made by the host/hosts and be sent out by them as well. But when it comes to the food and decor, it's okay to ask for help and have everyone in on the fun. A handmade touch will make the entire event more warm and cozy, as well as less stressful for anyone involved. This way everyone can enjoy the event!
DO invite all friends, family members and those participating in the actual wedding day.
DO NOT expect your bridesmaids to give gifts at every single one of your festivities as they are already expected to attend all of the events.
DO send the invitations at least two weeks prior to the shower so everyone has enough time to RSVP and buy a gift.
DO NOT invite people that haven't made the guest list for the wedding. It's rude to expect those to buy a gift but not join in on the big day.
DO remind the bride to get the these thank you notes written and sent out as soon as possible. The couple will be writing lots of thank you notes once the wedding is over as well and this way the task is over before the final event.
DO NOT invite the same person to more than one shower. If there are multiple, you can't expect guests to double up on gifts.
DO NOT give in to the "mega bridal shower" trend. Some of these showers involve 60-100 guests and has become quite the faux pas for obvious reasons. Bridal showers are meant to be small and intimate – keep it that way!
Planning the bridal shower will become a bit easier once you pick a theme! Figuring out the menu of the afternoon and some of the decor all coincide with what the vision is. Check out some of these popular ideas!
This one can be as tame or as racy as you like depending on the guest list. Guests can bring gifts of wedding lingerie which can include peignoir sets, comfy jammies, garters and more.
Guests buy gifts associated with helping the bride to care for her personal needs. This can include health spa or nail salon gift certificates (although, you should really bring along something the bride can open so include a manicure set, etc with a certificate), yoga instruction or bath incidentals.
Know a bride who has a passion for gardening? Host a shower in a garden setting and decorate tables with beautiful flowers. Ask guests to bring along gifts that the bride can use in her garden.
Guests bring gifts of wine or other types of favorite drinks, glassware, drink mixes, etc. to help the couple stock their bar.
Ask your guests to help the couple fill in their first Christmas tree by bringing gifts of Christmas ornaments. These could be fun or sentimental, handmade or store bought. The couple will remember each guest every year as they trim their tree. Buy a set of plain glass ornaments and permanent markers and have guests decorate or sign the them, including a short message to the couple.
Good, clean fun! Ask guests to dress in their favorite jammies. Have tons of super-bad-for-you snacks, chick flicks, board games and more!
Couples who love wine, and have a lot of everything else they need for the home, will love this shower idea. Ask guests to bring two bottles of their favorite wine (one to share and one to give to the couple) along with their favorite recipe that goes with their wine selection. Serve a nice assortment of cheese and crackers for an elegant wine tasting shower. But make sure to have some non-alcoholic options as well!
For the bride who loves to cook – or hasn't got a clue! Guests write their favorite recipe on an index card (which can be provided with the bridal shower invitations) and bring the card along with all non-perishable ingredients for the recipe wrapped in anything festive.
Whether you're planning a casino party or having a chic Parisian theme, make sure that the lovely bride to be is the center of attention! Provide lots of fun and lots of snacks to keep everyone involved and happy.
Obviously gift-giving is a huge part of any bridal party, but even this can be livened up by playing "Gift Bingo" for a fun way to shower your unsuspecting bride with a multitude of weird and wonderful presents.
And it's also important to plan some amusing activities that involve everyone so that nobody becomes a wallflower. Karaoke has become a massive hit at bridal parties! Just get creative and let loose a bit, "Bride and Groom" trivia can be fun too!
Don't forget a bride-to-be banner! Banners are a top trend for adding a decorative touch to any bridal shower. You will find DIY pennants that can be hung just about anywhere, such as against a wall, along a fence, or above a door frame.
Make sure to have the tables set with pretty decorations too. There is nothing more stunning than walking into a party room and seeing the tables beautifully staged. From the tablecloths, placemats, napkin rings, place card holders, and table runners, you are able to make an impressive statement as soon as guests walk into the room.
Sweeten up the dessert table with trendy accessories! Give the bridal shower cake a perfect finish with a decorative cake stand to enhance the theme of the party. Let guests sip in style with patterned paper straws and vintage mason jars. Label the treats with homemade signs and just pay attention to all of the small details.
The great thing about hosting a bridal shower at home is that you can cut costs on providing some seriously extravagant culinary experiences. Canapés are a great way to ensure that a variety of tastes are well catered for, and be sure to include plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options.
And similarly, whilst it's a fact that cocktails are the quickest way to really get the party started, it's also a good idea to try some lovely alcohol free cocktail recipes so that everyone's got a glass in hand to toast the bride!
Even if you decide to go with a specific bridal shower theme, like "Wine Night" or you want everyone to "shower" the bride with lingerie, make sure she's receiving some needed things off the wedding registry as well. Just gauge the couple's true needs – take a look at if they're starting out on their own in a new home or they've already settled into a space and made it their own for a bit.

Exeter 2 West Ham 0: Player ratings as young Grecians cruise to comfortable win in the Checkatrade Trophy
Who were the star performers as Grecians went top of the group?
Exeter City moved to the top of their Checkatrade Trophy group as they were too strong for a West Ham United Under-21 side at St James Park on Tuesday night.
After a 27 minute delay because of floodlight failure, Jonathan Forte struck twice in quick succession to give the Grecians a much deserved win against a Hammers side that offered little threat all evening.
But how did the Grecians fare against their more illustrious guests? Here are our match ratings form last night's game.
Exeter v West Ham RECAP: Jonathan Forte scores twice on a night the lights went out at St James Park
Second goal celebrations for Jonathan Forte of Exeter City during the Checkatrade Trophy match between Exeter City and West Ham U21 at St James Park, Exeter, Devon on September 25. - PHOTO: Phil Mingo/PPAUK
JAMES HAMON – An indifferent night from the City shot-stopper, who made it two clean sheets out of two in the competition this campaign. Almost punished for a mistake in the second half when he tried to let the ball go out of play, but pulled off some fine saves as well. 7/10
PIERCE SWEENEY - Captained the side and looked typically assured all evening. One splendid pass in the right to Lee Martin really stoofd out before he was replaced at half-time. 7
DARA O'SHEA – The more experienced of the two young centre halves and generally, he defended very well. Looks very comfortable in possession and not afraid to put his head in where it hurts. 7
WILL DEAN – A solid and steady defender, who reminded me of former captain Jordan Moore-Taylor in terms of his stature on the pitch. Not the biggest, but generally defended very well and can be pleased with his full debut. 7
JIMMY OATES – Played slightly out of position at left-back, compared to his more natural right-back role, but looked very comfortable indeed. Had a very good game with the only negative being the injury that forced him off in the second half. 7

LEE MARTIN – An experienced player with hundreds of appearance under his belt, but approached the game in the right manner and was a constant danger all evening. Superb skill displayed for the second goal. My man of the match. 8
ARCHIE COLLINS – An unusually quiet game for the young talent, who was not at his best, but was good on the ball when he did receive it. Not afraid to get stuck in. 6
MATT JAY – Seemed to revel in a new central midfield role and the type of game suited Jay down to the ground. He was able to link play and get on the ball to show all of his technical quality. 7
CHIEDOZIE OGBENE – Showed glimpses of what he can do on his full debut, but all too often, the end product let him down. Undoubtedly raw, but clearly has blistering pace. 6
Tristan Abrahams of Exeter City is fouled by Reece Oxford, Captain of West Ham United during the Checkatrade Trophy match between Exeter City and West Ham U21 at St James Park, Exeter, Devon on September 25. - PHOTO: Phil Mingo/PPAUK
TRISTAN ABRAHAMS – Grew into the game and got stronger and more involved as the match went on. Got some much-needed game time and named sponsors' man of the match. 7
JONATHAN FORTE – Bagged both of Exeter's goals and, like Martin, approached the game in the right way, but will probably be disappointed that he didn't score a hat-trick as he had the chances to do so. 8
Jonathan Forte scores twice for Exeter City to make sure its lights out for West Ham United in Checkatrade Trophy
LUKE CROLL (for Sweeney) The former Crystal Palace man is getting better and better and better. Really finding his feet at Exeter now and made one superb tackle in the second half to preserve the clean sheet. 8
JACK SPARKES (for Oates, 49) Struggled to make an impact after coming on for injury victim Oates. 6
JAMES DODD (for Martin, 59) Handed his City debut and slotted into the midfield well without really standing out. Kept things nice and simple. 6.

Q: `\includeonly` and bibtex Following the method described in the LaTeX Wikibook, I have set up the folders of my project in the following fashion:
Project...
  main.tex
  mystyle.tex
  img...
    fig1.png
  tex...
    frontmatter...
      awknowledgements.tex
    mainmatter...
      intro.tex
      conclusion.tex
    backmatter...
      biblio.bib

I can easily compile the complete document using \include:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{mystyle}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\author{Erika Mustermann}
\title{My BIG Project}

\frontmatter
    \maketitle
    \include{./tex/frontmatter/awknowledgements}
    \tableofcontents

\mainmatter
    \include{./tex/mainmatter/intro}
    \include{./tex/mainmatter/conclusion}

\backmatter
    \clearpage
    \bibliography{./tex/backmatter/biblio/}

\end{document}

This works without any problem. However, if I try to compile a limited number of chapters using the following \includeonly, I get errors and the document doesn't compile:
...
\includeonly{./tex/mainmatter/intro}
...

Database file #1: ./tex/backmatter/biblio.bib (There were 3 error
  messages)
Sorry, but "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\texify.exe" did
  not succeed.

The error messages are namely:

intro.tex Package natbib Warning: Citation `Mustermann_2016' on page 1 undefined on input line 5.
  main.tex Package natbib Warning: There were undefined citations.
  main.tex LaTeX Warning: Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references right.

(There is only 1 citation in intro.tex.)
I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong or missing. I read that it might have something to do with being unable to find the .aux file, but I'm not sure if there's a way to solve it. I moved my bibliography file into the top project folder where the main.tex is saved, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem. I also saved everything into the top-level folder and the issue was not resolved. Perhaps it is in the way that I make the bibliography? Any hints and suggestions would be appreciated!
Edit Using \includeonly works fine when the bibliography is commented out which is what led me to believe the issue is there.

I have tried below for update particular row but it does not work
$this->_cancelFactory->create()->setData(array('cancel_status'=>'Canceled'))->where(array('order_id'=>$oid))->save();

What is the right way to update table?

A: $cancelId = 5;//id for entry to update
$cancel = $this->_cancelFactory->create();
$cancel->load($cancelId);
$cancel->setCancelStatus('Review');
$cancel->save();

But as explained in the answers in here: Deprecated save and load methods in Abstract Model, load and save are deprecated. You should create service contracts for your module.


Gregory Walker (applicable acronyms: LEED AP, AIA, NCARB) isn't just any old Atlanta architect with an abundance of letters after his name. He's a Founding Partner at Houser Walker Architecture and also the current President of AIA Georgia. Educated at Auburn and Harvard universities, Walker has been an architect since 1993 and an Atlanta resident since 1998. With Atlanta in gangbusters growth mode, we asked Walker a few questions about: the city's architecture as it stands today; where he sees trends headed in the future; and if we should be worried that Atlanta will one day be a bland mass of concrete and glass. He was kind enough to provide his thoughts, after the jump.
Curbed Atlanta: Often, Atlantans get bogged down in what is perceived as the banality of architecture in our city. How, as an architect, would you describe Atlanta's architecture?
Gregory Walker: Atlanta is an interesting paradox — although it has a small historic core and more historic city plan, it's largely a relatively "new" city in terms of its buildings. And, like most "new" cities, the overall quality of the architecture is fairly banal. Banal can be good sometimes, but with Atlanta… not so much.
CA: Despite the banal, there are some pretty phenomenal buildings. What are your favorite buildings in the city?
GW: Among my favorites (that are still standing): the High's top floor gallery, the Westin's place in the skyline, and Ansley Park as a whole.
CA: John Portman (helped, of course, by his development company) reshaped a large portion of downtown over the course of more than three decades and is arguably the most prolific and influential architect to have put his mark on the city. Are there any local architects today who could match the driving force Portman was for Atlanta, or is Atlanta now simply too big to be a one-architect town?
GW: No, I don't see any one firm following on in the footsteps of Portman. And that's great. Thankfully, Atlanta is much too large for any one architect or developer to exert too much influence over the whole of its design and development. Genuine diversity of expression is essential to all great cities. The more an urban environment is tied to a single idea or influence, the worse the experience.
CA: As Atlanta emerges from the recession, we're beginning to see big developers erect repetitive glass and concrete towers across the city. Of course not every building constructed in a city will be an architectural masterpiece, but do you see the current growth patterns as a threat to Atlanta's architectural landscape, or merely a byproduct of a healthy city?
GW: The development pattern we've seen with these large residential towers is less a "threat" to Atlanta's overall urban experience as it will define a pattern of living for the next 50 years. The real question we should be asking of these developments: "Is that it?" These sorts of towers are popping up all over the Southeast — Tampa, Charlotte, Jacksonville — we should be asking if there's a more sustainable pattern. At the very least, we should be expecting far better architecture.
CA: Speaking of a healthy city … obviously the Beltline is a major driving force in the Atlanta development world. As architecture is far more than a practice in just designing a building — the building's relation to its environment is arguably more impactful than the building itself — do you see the new architecture in Atlanta better engaging with the city as a whole than in the past?
GW: There are certainly recent developments which are creating far better connections to their context — Inman Quarter is one that comes to mind. And, certainly, the Beltline will help focus development around a pattern of living that's far more sustainable over the next 50 years. But that doesn't guarantee great architecture will be built in each location. To a degree, you can create parameters where it's really hard to do "bad" environments, which was largely the original motivation of the New Urbanism movement. Great individual buildings will always require a talented, skilled architect, a client with a clear vision, and the right opportunity to put both together.
CA: We haven't seen the explosive growth upward of the Atlanta skyline since the optimistic times of the early 1990s. Since the completion of the Bank of America Plaza in 1992 — which incidentally does the exact opposite of what I mentioned in the previous question regarding relating to the street — buildings really haven't been going for the distinction of tallest. Do you foresee a sky-race in the future?
GW: Atlanta has so much available land and so few truly "marquee" locations, there's little incentive to build higher than the last person just for bragging rights. This isn't New York, which has seen so many needle-like luxury condo projects spiraling up ever higher in the past five years; it's finally prompting even the best architects to question their logic within that environment.
CA: It's impossible to predict the future, and architecture is wholly contingent upon many other facets outside of an architect's control (new technologies, the economy, etc.), so feel free to indulge flights of fancy in answering these final questions: What trends typify our direction as we move forward architecturally in Atlanta? How will the city differ in the next five, 20 or even 50 years from the Atlanta we know today?
GW: Architecturally, adaptive reuse of our existing stock of buildings and building sites — especially strip shopping centers, malls, and other post-war neighborhoods and structures — will be the canvas on which many of us are asked to paint. Creating environments that will age well is always a primary concern. But perhaps the single largest question we'll be asked to answer is how will we choose to upgrade our transportation and utility infrastructure — how we creatively imagine solutions to those concerns will help determine how "livable" Atlanta is. We could have the most beautiful buildings created in all the world and leave them hanging on the rotting carcass of a failed infrastructure. It could be amazing, horrifying, or both simultaneously.


I Would Be Told To Do Something?
I hope to go to a country where some terrorists activities are going on. It is confined to a certain part of that country.
1. I would often be told not to travel to rebel held areas of the country.
Is the above sentence fine?
What is the necessity of use 'would' here?
To write 'I would be told to do or not to do something' looks odd to me.
For example,we say 'would be thieves'. That is a different context.
For example, we say ' I would be extremely grateful to you if you would ... ' . That too is a different context.
Recently Marius and a few others taught me the different ways to use the word 'would'.
In a hypothetical situation, you could use 'would'.
When giving advice you could use 'would'.
For me some sentence like the following is the acceptable one in this context.
I have been advised not to travle to rebel held areas of the country.
Would here is not hypothetical.
On an habitual basis/What happened frequently was that I was told not to travel to rebel held areas of the country.
Let us take another example.
Doctors ask people to avoid eating fatty foodstuff if they have elevated LDL value.
2. He would often be advised by doctors to refrain from eating fatty food.
I have not been to learn to write in the above manner.
He has often been advised by doctors to refrain from eating fatty food.
I have always/often been advised by doctors to train very often.
I will not get serious illness as I train very often.
My question is whether the second sentence is fine.
That would is used when you write a story about the past.
So you would not write the following in the given context.
You told me the following is correct.
I can't figure out the flaw in the second sentence.
You should use it only when writing a story about what happened to him in the past.
So in the following you find past tense of the word 'will' and the past tense of the word 'tell'. Then I can say this was a past event. This may have happened 10 years ago.
Yes, this is past. You tell a story about the past.
A Unique... Or: An Unique Something?
If I Should…I Would (Or I Should?)?
Should I Do Away With 'Is'?


Tagged with HE, HE funding, HSBC, market research, The Value of Education.
While students turn to part-time work to support themselves at university, their parents take on extra work and borrow money to contribute to their education – but the funding gap is still quite substantial, a new survey by global banking giant HSBC has shown.
Part-time work during a university course was particularly common among the international students surveyed, with 93% reporting that they were in paid employment. This is slightly less common for domestic students (78%). International students had on average higher satisfaction and expectations towards their university degree, and so did their parents.
Conducted on a sample of 10,478 parents and 1,507 students from all around the world, the new The Value of Education report revealed how students and their families pay for university and gauged expectations towards the value of tertiary education.
Parents all around the world reported contributing an average of US $16,338 towards their children's education, ranging from $51,656 in Hong Kong to $5,560 in India.
The five top expenses that parents contributed to were tuition fees, food, transport, technology, and general spending money.
Most parents reported contributing to their children's education from their day-to-day income, while others had specific funds set up – about 67% of parents with a child studying abroad said they had a specific saving fund set up for their child's education, compared to 57% of parents with a child studying domestically.
Personal sacrifices such as taking extra work and fewer holidays were widely reported, while 35% of parents said they had taken on some kind of debt: the majority took out a loan, while others used their credit card or borrowed from friends and family.
However, despite the efforts of their families, students around the world experience a sizeable funding gap between their spending and their family's contribution.
On average, students spend US $34,658 on their degree, leaving them with a funding gap of $18,320. This varies widely across the world, from an impressive $82,103 in the US to $4,318 in Indonesia.
The biggest drain on student finances are tuition fees, followed by accommodation and food.
Most students (83%) said they were working part time, and most said they did so out of necessity.
Over half of them said they were relying on part-time work because they needed extra money. About 43% said they were looking for extra work experience, while only 21% were on a mandatory internship.
As tuition fees are normally much higher for international students, it is unsurprising that working part time was more common among those studying abroad than for those studying in their home country.
The funding gap is a factor to consider for policy makers in destination countries, Studyportals' executive vice president of global engagement and research Rahul Choudaha told The PIE News.
"The widening funding gap is wake-up alarm for policy-makers and universities interested in attracting international students. It suggests that many students are finding it more expensive to study abroad," he said.
"Many universities, especially in the US and the UK, are facing unsupportive and even hostile political environment for international students seeking to gain experiential work opportunities".
"Work rights for international students is a highly potent policy tool and more universities and countries should leverage it to attract global talent," Choudaha added.
On the positive side, international students and their parents were also more likely to report that university is worth the effort and expense, both in the short and long term.
About 81% of international students said that university was worth the money, compared to 66% among their domestic counterparts. The most commonly cited rationale for attending university was the same for both groups: securing their first job.
But parents of mobile students are slightly more confident that their child will obtain a well-paid job than parents with children studying domestically – they are also slightly less worried that university won't prepare their child for the jobs of the future.
Students and their parents reported having slightly different views on the three most important skills the education system should focus on.
For parents, the top three skills to concentrate on for 2030 were problem solving, social skills and foreign language skills, while students chose critical thinking skills, problem solving and social skills. And while parents are divided about the benefits of AI and robots for their children's life, the majority agrees that computer programming is an important skill in today's world.

Gemma and Alex in L.A.
Gemma's a waitress, Alex is an intern, and L.A. is terrible.
"Some of the food trucks have like lines for hours," Gemma tells him excitedly as they pick at their food. She got the red sauce, because Alex is still dubious about the green which is more wrong than she knows how to convey even if she doesn't really care about hip L.A. food trucks. But Gemma is scared that Alex is going to freak out at everything about the city and run back to Indiana, so she'll humor him on the enchiladas. She doesn't mind her awful apartment with him, but without him, she suspects she might descend into despair.
