Moussaka (moo-sah-KAH) is perhaps the most widely recognized Greek dish.
This recipe is a result of tinkering with the traditional ingredients to make a lighter, vegetarian moussaka recipe. I wouldn't recommend trying to whip this up on a busy weeknight as it is still quite time consuming. When you have the time to devote to prepping the vegetables and baking the dish, it will make an excellent dinner entree for friends and family.
Place the eggplant and zucchini slices in a colander and salt them liberally. Cover with an inverted plate weighted down by a heavy can or jar. Place the colander in the sink so that excess moisture can be drawn out. They will need to sit for at least 15-20 minutes.
Peel the potatoes and boil them whole for about 10 minutes. They should not get too soft, just enough to be tender (parboil). Drain, cool, and slice them in 1/4 inch slices. Set aside.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Add a splash of water to the egg whites and beat lightly with a fork or whisk. Spread breadcrumbs on a flat plate.
Rinse the eggplant and zucchini slices and blot excess moisture with paper towels. Set the zucchini aside with the potatoes. Dip the eggplant slices in the beaten egg whites and then dredge them in the breadcrumbs, coating both sides. Place breaded eggplant slices on baking sheet and bake for 1/2 an hour, turning them once during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mashed chickpeas to pan with tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon, oregano, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered so that excess liquid can be cooked out.
Lightly grease a 9 x 13 x 3 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with breadcrumbs. Leaving a small space around the edges of the pan, cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of potatoes. Top with a layer of eggplant slices. Add tomato sauce on top of eggplant and sprinkle with grated cheese. Add zucchini slices next. Top with another layer of eggplant slices and sprinkle once again with grated cheese.
Simmer over low heat until it thickens a bit but does not boil. Remove from heat, and stir in beaten egg yolks and pinch of nutmeg. Return to heat and stir until sauce thickens, being careful not to scorch it.
Pour the béchamel sauce over the eggplant and be sure to allow sauce to fill the sides and corners of the pan. Smooth the béchamel on top with a knife and sprinkle with remaining grated cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until béchamel sauce is a nice golden brown color. Allow to cool for 15 – 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
You can make this dish ahead up until the making of the béchamel sauce and refrigerate. Make the béchamel sauce right before you intend to bake it.

Life timeline of Carl Dupree
Carl Dupree was born on 18 Mar 1924
Carl Dupree was 15 years old when Adolf Hitler signs an order to begin the systematic euthanasia of mentally ill and disabled people. Adolf Hitler was a German politician, demagogue, and Pan-German revolutionary, who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator, Hitler initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was central to the Holocaust.
Carl Dupree was 16 years old when The Holocaust: The first prisoners arrive at a new concentration camp at Auschwitz. The Holocaust, also referred to as the Shoah, was a genocide during World War II in which Nazi Germany, aided by its collaborators, systematically murdered some six million European Jews, around two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe, between 1941 and 1945. Jews were targeted for extermination as part of a larger event involving the persecution and murder of other groups, including in particular the Roma and "incurably sick", as well as ethnic Poles and other Slavs, Soviet citizens, Soviet prisoners of war, political opponents, gay men and Jehovah's Witnesses, resulting in up to 17 million deaths overall.
Carl Dupree was 29 years old when Jonas Salk announced the successful test of his polio vaccine on a small group of adults and children (vaccination pictured). Jonas Edward Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines. Born in New York City, he attended New York University School of Medicine, later choosing to do medical research instead of becoming a practicing physician. In 1939, after earning his medical degree, Salk began an internship as a physician scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Two years later he was granted a fellowship at the University of Michigan, where he would study flu viruses with his mentor Thomas Francis, Jr.
Carl Dupree was 40 years old when The Beatles make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, performing before a "record-busting" audience of 73 million viewers across the USA. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.
Carl Dupree was 53 years old when Star Wars is released in theaters. Star Wars is a 1977 American epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It is the first film in the original Star Wars trilogy and the beginning of the Star Wars franchise. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew, the film focuses on the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia (Fisher), and its attempt to destroy the Galactic Empire's space station, the Death Star.
Carl Dupree was 56 years old when Mount St. Helens erupts in Washington, United States, killing 57 people and causing $3 billion in damage. Mount St. Helens or Louwala-Clough is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon and 96 miles (154 km) south of Seattle, Washington. Mount St. Helens takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, a friend of explorer George Vancouver who made a survey of the area in the late 18th century. The volcano is located in the Cascade Range and is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 active volcanoes. This volcano is well known for its ash explosions and pyroclastic flows.
Carl Dupree was 70 years old when The Rwandan genocide begins when the aircraft carrying Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira is shot down. The Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, was a genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority government. An estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandans were killed during the 100-day period from 7 April to mid-July 1994, constituting as many as 70% of the Tutsi population. Additionally, 30% of the Pygmy Batwa were killed. The genocide and widespread slaughter of Rwandans ended when the Tutsi-backed and heavily armed Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) led by Paul Kagame took control of the country. An estimated 2,000,000 Rwandans, mostly Hutus, were displaced and became refugees.
Carl Dupree was 80 years old when Facebook, a mainstream online social networking site, is founded by Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook is an American online social media and social networking service company based in Menlo Park, California. Its website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.

Frederick Misegades
Watertown Gazette, 09 14 1916
1866 Watertown City Directory ad
Death of Frederick Misegades
One of Watertown's Oldest and Most Beloved Residents
On Tuesday morning, September 12, 1916, Frederick Misegades, one of Watertown's oldest and most beloved citizens, died of general debility at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fred Zipfel, 307 Montgomery Street, at the advanced age of 89 years.
Since the death of his wife in 1900, Mr. Misegades made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Eli Fischer, and a few weeks ago went to visit for a time with his daughter, Mrs. Zipfel, and it was while there that he was taken ill and died.
Deceased was born in Duldorf, Hanover, Germany, on December 6, 1826, and in 1847 he came to America, landing in New York City, from there he came west to Milwaukee via the Great Lakes, and in 1848 he came to Watertown and found employment in the wagon shop of the late Richard Jones, where he learned his trade and was afterwards taken in as a partner.
In 1859 he was married to Miss Christiana Schonfisch.
In 1862 he built the brick shop at 200-206 North Water Street, now occupied by the Otto Biefeld Co., and carried on a large wagon industry for years, his place being known far and wide as "Freddie's Shop." In company with other members of his family he conducted a flour mill a number of years at Boomer's dam.
Mr. Misegades was one of Watertown's most enterprising and public-spirited citizens in his younger days and took an active interest in politics. He was a prominent member of the Union League that was organized to fight the payment of the railway bonds, and he served his ward as alderman and supervisor a number of times. He was a charter member of the Concordia Society and for many years was a member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church.
He is survived by three daughters and one son, Mrs. Eli Fischer and Mrs. Fred Zipfel of this city; Mrs. F. Paeske of Milwaukee and E. R. Misegades of Chicago. Six grandchildren and two great grandchildren also survive him and one brother, Dietrich Misegrades of Talmadge, Nebraska. This afternoon the funeral services of the deceased was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Fischer, [217] North Water Street, the home which Mr. Misegades erected thirty-six years ago and resided in many years, and of late has been the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fischer.
The funeral services were private and were conducted by Rev. Julius Klingmann of St. Mark's Lutheran church. The interment was in Oak Hill Cemetery.
In the death of Mr. Misegades this city has lost one of its very best citizens, and but few men enjoyed the confidence, esteem and respect of his fellow citizens as did honest Fred. Misegades. He was honest in his business dealings with others, kind and good-natured to everyone and always a friend to those in trouble. Devoted to his family and friends, he led a pure and simple life, and always strove to make all around him happy and contented. For such as he, there is certainly a place in the Heavenly Kingdom.

03 03 NARROW ESCAPE
Miss Jennie, daughter of F. Misegades of the 4th ward, had a close call last Monday. It seems that before the great storm set in, the cistern near the house was left open. On Monday morning, not knowing the cistern had been left uncovered, Miss Jennie went out to clear away some snow and doing so fell into the cistern. Fortunately, the mouth of the cistern was so clogged up with snow that she had time to cry for help before sinking further than up to her heck. The timely arrival of her father with a ladder resulted in bringing her out safely. WD, R
08 24 NEW WAGON BOX FOR WOODARD & STONE
The new wagon box has just been completed for the Woodard & Stone company by Fred Misegades, which for high-grade workmanship and excellence of material is hard to beat. Mr. Misegades is a veteran in this line of work and his latest production speaks well of his ability. The cost of the box for labor and material reaches nearly S100. WR
-- -- FREDERICK MISEGADES HOME (traditional name)
This was the home of Frederick Misegades, a wagon-maker, between c. 1885 and at least 1915. Misegades had a long-time wagon-making shop across the street from this house.

Q: How to send a web page from a textarea to iframe So I have an iframe that's supposed to hold the rendered code from a textarea once a button is pressed, but I'm not sure how to do this in javascript or jquery. I'm aware of how to send a specific site with a URL to display inside a webpage, but for some reason when I try to render the textarea and send it to the iframe, it doesn't work.
this is my iframe:

this is the function I wrote to send contents from textarea editor (this works just fine with a  but not with ):
function openIframe() {
        var e = document.getElementById('outputIframe');
        var editorHTML = editor.getValue();
        e.document.innerHTML = editorHTML;
    }

So the editor (codemirror) holds the HTML code which users write, and then it should output in the 'outputIframe' iframe element when users press a button. This is similar to the "Try it" sections of w3schools.

A:     function openIframe() {
            var editorHTML = editor.getValue();
            var iframe = document.getElementById('outputIframe');
            iframe.contentWindow.document.open();
            iframe.contentWindow.document.write(editorHTML);
            iframe.contentWindow.document.close();
        }

http://jsfiddle.net/tintucraju/2Lsr9ju9/

A: Using jquery you can type:
$("iframe").contents().find("body").html(yourHTML);

Important to say, this only works if iframe and your parent window are on the same domain, by security reasons.

A: This will do the trick - just keep in mind that different browsers will accept different maximum lengths of dataURL.
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <textarea id="htmlInput" style="width: 462px; height: 185px;"></textarea>

    <button id='displayBtn'>Display</button>

Very pleasant service, nothing a problem as I had even turned up 24 hours early for my currency. Ok I booked it a day later than I should. Thanks.
As always the service experience is superb. It's the element of your holiday arrangements you don't have to worry about.
Easy to order card online, arrived on time. Liked that I could order cash at the same time. Decent exchange rate, not the top in the market, but acceptable. Found it useful to budget for travel. The only issue I had was that I was charged for withdrawing cash in both US and Mexico (approx $3 for each withdrawal of cash), even though I tried different ATMs and each seem to have a master card logo on it. I was disappointed as I was told cash withdrawal was free.
The lady who served me was a fantastic help and went above and beyond to help a stressed passenger!
Great service,on time and no problems.Will use in the future as it's so easy.
Seemless transaction. Friendly staff at collection counter.
Worked fine second time. First time I tried to order it said there was an unspecified error. Apart from that the order was simple to make.
Efficient and always excellent service.! Best rates always.! Easy to deal with.!
Some confusion over my order for currency at the desk at Heathrow airport. Sorted quite quickly. Would have been 5stars otherwise.

Tamara Howe, Director of Innovation and Masterbrand at Kellogg, recently provided me an insight into The Foundry, Kellogg's innovation team that is keeping the 100-year-old brand relevant. In part 2 of our interview we discuss why millennials hold a key to innovation, why she no longer believes in focus groups, the value in "positive creative conflict" and why failing a new product can be a seen as a positive.
Samuel Tait: As a leader of 'The Foundry', your innovation team at Kellogg, what does your day-to-day entail?
Tamara Howe: I spend my time focusing on the future – and really being at the front of future trends and forecasts. Where we think the food culture is going so that we can ensure that we're at the forefront of that. A lot of my time pragmatically is also just helping the team shepherd through the many innovation projects that we have on the boil.
ST: How has The Foundry team been set up to help support the 2 sides of innovation – the ideation and the execution?
TH: We've actually divided the team into these two different capability sets. The exact reason is that they are different capabilities, yet both need focus. We call the idea side the design team – which is basically the front end team. They do the front end of innovation; going from what we call basis for interest, so a territory that we think is promising, through to prototypes and an approved initial stage gate document that can then be handed over to the execution team to go on and execute. The execution team will take the project right up to the point where we have a final product. The commercial team will then take on the go to market plan.
For the design team, we were looking for capabilities and behaviours that are a bit more creative, flexible, shall we say conceptual, green housing type behaviours versus within the execution team which is a different capability set and behaviours that are more process driven, getting it done, execution, timelines and those sorts of things.
We have built the team specifically that way. For example we have food developers who sit in the design team and food developers who sit in the execution teams. So from a skill sets perspective you probably have similar skill sets or experience in both teams however behavioural thinking and how people approach things is different.
ST: Do you have any tips for hiring people for this type of environment?
TH: I think what's been a really great hiring decision (and Bruno Madonna, our Research and Technology Director has been a champion of this so I take no credit at all) is to bring in some really great fresh young talent. They're fresh out of school or have only been in the industry for a couple of years but because they started young and they are in that millennial mindset. There is just a great food culture value with them, which I think the millennial generation epitomises. They're just so open to new ideas, fresh thinking and having a go.
ST: Can you talk about the role of the design team within your innovation process?
TH: The whole process is designed around a stage / gate process. On the front end within the design team we have pretty standard ideation tools. This is also where we're really focused on bringing the outside in. The design team is always talking to outside parties, we're constantly immersing ourselves into the needs of the consumer and the shopper and the customer. We do a lot of future forecasting and the design team needs to be absolutely across these areas.
For example we are working with a business in the US called the Institute For The Future, which conducts forecasts 10 years out. They have a belief that it's easier to predict the future 10 years out than it is one year out, which is really kind of counter-intuitive yet it makes sense when you think about it. We tend to underestimate what we can do in the long-term but overestimate what we can do in the short-term.
One of the things they are talking about is the rising middle class population, which will drive a rise in the need for protein. More sustainable sources of protein is then going to be a huge requirement globally. That gets you thinking about how we can play a role in that area, there's obviously a huge amount of protein options that we can explore.
ST: How do you involve your customers and consumers in the process of innovation?
TH: On a regular basis the retailers are actually asking us for things. Some of it we can do and some of it we can't. Also we'll take some ideas to them and they will help shape them. An example would be a new snack product we're launching next year and retailers were providing us some really great insights about what is really driving the category – that it's more about better for you confectionery, rather than super healthy snacking.
We aim to look at the customer insight, the shopper insight and then the consumer insight as the three-way win. Looking at innovation from those three lenses to make sure we're solving a problem for each of those three groups. Often the shopper is very different from the end consumer, so we're trying to get smarter about that as well. Obviously if the consumer is a child you want to delight the child, but also a mum needs to feel good about bringing that product home for her child to eat.
By applying these filters upfront and we get that right then it's a much smoother journey to actually launching the innovation. It means more work in the front end but it comes from what we've learned through root cause analysis of innovation projects that failed. It's really key to get that right.
ST: Are there any specific research methods you use to find or evaluate problems of consumers?
TH: I can talk about a new innovation coming out in August that has been developed around portable, more convenient solutions which has somewhat been informed through behavioural based research.
Overall I'm really not a fan of focus groups any more, I just think that the methodology is somewhat dated now and you get attitudes and responses within social norms instead of people's true behaviours. A mum will always say "I want more variety for my kids" but the reality is it might be a habitual purchase and she buys the same thing every week. That's a good example of what she might say in a focus group, however her actual behaviours are very different.
Now we are incorporating a methodology that asks people to be investigators of their own behaviour or observers of their own behaviour to record their observations. We might ask them to observe their own behaviour through online methodologies to really uncover what truly are their unmet tensions. Through this process we might find that the same mum that says she wants variety is actually buying the same product every week because it has become a habitual purchase.
That's good to know right? We're definitely using more behavioural based research methodologies moving forward.
ST: From your experience at Kellogg do you have any advice in managing complex stakeholder environments?
TH: Advice? It's not easy! I think essentially it's trying to understand where people are coming from and then seeing how you can meet their needs. Having good healthy debates and discussions is also important. We call it positive creative conflict where we make sure that we're getting to the best outcomes through a good healthy debate.
ST: What are some of the major hurdles you have faced in delivering the innovation program at Kellogg?
TH: It's about finding the middle ground between agility and also the due diligence to minimise risks to the business – of balancing risk versus reward. I think we all want more agility but when the rubber meets the road the business also starts to get a bit weary of risk. We are fine tuning this and learning as we go.
ST: What advice would you give to help others succeed with their innovation programs?
TH: I think always start with the consumer or the shopper insight – the problem you're solving. In my experience if you have a good clear problem that you're solving for, a lot of the other stuff just starts to take care of itself.
Secondly, really embrace an entrepreneurial spirit – courage in particular. Everyone has ideas however what separates individuals is making them happen and it takes a lot of drive and perseverance to succeed.
The last one is actually my favourite. Reframe failure as learning and failing fast so that you can succeed sooner. It's hard when NPD fails because it feels like you birthed a baby and you don't want your baby to fail, but you've got to re-frame that as being one step closer to the next success.
In part one, Tamara gave an overview of her experience, outlines the role of and how they approach innovation at Kellogg, how they use external expertise and measure the impact of their innovation initiatives.

« Success, Self-esteem, and Human Enhancement
The Ethics of Giving: How Demanding? »
The discussion that the scientists in Nature and Science called for should remain in realism, not go on to superhumans
Published March 25, 2015 | By Johanna Ahola-Launonen, University of Helsinki
Just over a week ago, prominent scientists in Nature and Science called for a ban for DNA modification in human embryos. This is because the scientists presume that now it actually would be possible to alter the genome in a human embryo in order to treat genetic diseases. Consequently, this would result in modified DNA in germ cells that would be inherited to future generations. The scientists wish to have a full ethical, legal, and public discussion before any germ-line modifications will be made. Furthermore, issues of safety are of importance.
The scientists' statement is of utmost importance and hopefully this ethical, legal, and public discussion will emerge. However, the discussion on germ-line DNA modification is at danger if the debate will be taken to the level of science fictional superhumans, as already has happen. Not only can such discussion cause unnecessary public worry, it also leads the deliberation away from the actual and urgent questions.
The traditional genetic therapy for somatic cells implies genetic modification of target cells. By knocking out or adding a gene in the target cells the functions of the cells can be altered and this has a therapeutic effect: for example, in inhibiting the growth of a cancer cell, or making the cell produce a lacking enzyme. These modifications take place only in the target cells or tissue. However, if the genetic modification will be made to the embryo, the modification will be inherited to all the cells of the future human being – including the germ cells. Consequently, the modification will be passed to potential progeny.
The scientists highlight that despite the existence of the relevant techniques (such as the of new CRISPR-Cas9 technology), it is not certain that they could be used to human genome in a safe and efficient manner. Controlling the exact level of modifications is difficult and there is the risk of inducing untoward cuts in the genome. The scientists emphasize that the precise effects might be known only after birth, and even then, potential problem might arise not until after some years. It is important to understand that the existence of some technique does not mean that this technique could be used in a totally controlled manner. Apart from the safety issues, the scientists wish a framework for open discourse for the ethical, legal, and societal implications of potential germ-line modifications. The scientists call for a careful discussion about these issues – not only because the issues at hand really need to be deliberated, but because they worry that potential mistrust or protest in the public will result as a powerful objection to these new techniques as such that offer a great potential of therapeutic development.
At the dawn of the recombinant DNA era, the most important lesson learned was that public trust in science ultimately begins with and requires ongoing transparency and open discussion. That lesson is amplified today with the emergence of CRISPR-Cas9 technology and the imminent prospects for genome engineering. Initiating these fascinating and challenging discussions now will optimize the decisions society will make at the advent of a new era in biology and genetics.
Despite the careful formulation of the scientists in Nature and Science, many further writings are taking the discussion completely to another direction. For example, The New York Times writes that the biologists fear that the new technique is so effective and easy to use that some physicians may push ahead before its safety can be assessed, and they want the public to understand the ethical issues surrounding the technique, which could be used to cure genetic diseases, but also to enhance qualities like beauty or intelligence. International Business Times, for its part, reports the piece of news with a title saying "Alarm over genetic editing of human embryos that opens door to designer babies and superhumans", reformulating that the biologists fear that germ-line engineering takes mankind on the dangerous path to superhumans and designer babies, for those who can afford it. The biggest newspaper in Finland also goes with the title "Scientists fear: manipulating genes will lead to making superhumans".
Reading the original articles under the microscope, the biologists said nothing about superhumans. The new era in biology and genetics means the possibility to make germ-line modifications to genes we know cause some diseases. However, taking the mentioned examples of beauty and intelligence, there is neither conceptual unanimity on what these characteristics actually mean nor reasons to believe there might a genetic way to effectively influence them. What is at stake is the possibility to modify particular genes that cause a certain phenotype. Highly polygenic and multifactorial characteristicts remain outside this scope.
If the scientists' urge to discuss the matter is now translated into a fierce debate about what is beauty, what is intelligence, what would superhumans be like, and where the exact genes for beauty, intelligence, and superhumanity lurk, the task has failed. First, this would take the debate away from realism and possibly increase extensive fears against such techniques carrying a huge therapeutic potential – the genome-editing technologies may offer a powerful approach to treat many human diseases, including HIV/AIDS, haemophilia, sickle-cell anaemia and several forms of cancer (somatically). Putting together genome-editing technologies and superhumans as a matter of fact does not do any good for the discussion.
Second, translating the scientists' call into issues of superhumanity will take us away from the actual questions that need discussion. We need serious debate about autonomy, beneficence, harm, justice, precaution, dignity, solidarity, and like, concerning germ-line therapies. The future individual might be forever cured from a genetic disease, or forever, together with their progeny, suffering from an unexpected side-effect. What does this mean to the individual, to the society, to the humanity? There should be room for varying ethical discourses.

2 Responses to The discussion that the scientists in Nature and Science called for should remain in realism, not go on to superhumans
Anders Sandberg says:
We have a somewhat similar problem in the discussion about AI safety, exemplified by the Future of Life Institute's open letter ("Research Priorities for Robust and Beneficial Artificial Intelligence"). The main point of the letter is to get researchers to work on maximizing the societal benefit of AI – safety and utility – and not just its capability. The letter itself is pretty agnostic about just how powerful or dangerous AI could become, but the framing in the press invariably comes with terminator robots.
Here the issue is that superintelligence *is* a valid part of the discussion: AI safety stretches from the near-term issues of what autonomous cars and data mining systems do, over whether we should accept autonomous weapons and how to handle technological unemployment to existential risks from very smart systems. Arguing it shouldn't be discussed because it is speculative is problematic, since autonomous weapons (or cars) are speculative until they happen. Arguing that there are lots of cognitive biases and ideology polluting analysis also applies to technological unemployment. And so on: there is no good dividing line, and as we at FHI have argued, even low-probability and rather far off existential risks have a lot of moral priority. Yet the superintelligence/intelligence explosion part of the discussion gets far more attention than the more mundane parts, *and* its weirdness is used by those who think we shouldn't do AI ethics now to argue that the entire domain is silly (often they think we do not need it because it is silly, in a self-reinforcing loop of rejection).
So while I do agree with the post that it is a problem that the media misrepresents what the call for moratorium actually is about, I also think we should recognize that superhumans are a part of the discussion. Saying that this is just about autonomy, beneficence, harm, justice, precaution, dignity, solidarity, and the like concerning germ-line therapies means that big issues that actually do carry heavy ethical weight are excluded from the discussion. In fact, restricting it to the traditional medical ethics domain means that by the time someone uses these methods for enhancement (many therapies can be turned into enhancement) there will not have been a proper analysis. Worse, if some of these non-therapeutic uses have sufficiently ethically weighty effects they might affect the morality of the entire enterprise yet not be allowed to be explored or taken into account.
I fear that restricting conversations about emerging technologies to non-speculative here-and-now issues means they lose much of their foresight. Imagine "nuclear ethics" in the 1930s, discussing the issues of safety, beneficience, precaution and international solidarity in the use of radioactivity for research, medicine and energy production but explicitly renouncing speculation about nuclear weapons and their ethics.
Johanna Ahola-Launonen says:
Thanks Anders for this insightful comment, I very much agree with you, and indeed hoping for "restrictions for discussion" is always kind of problematic. But while in agreement, here are my points that I'm still holding for:
1) If the germ-line-therapy issue is taken to the superhuman level, we will not have a discussion about what is at stake right now, that is, the possibility to want to manipulate embryo genome to intervene particular genes causing genetic diseases – and all the ethical issues related to that. I'm afraid that the "superhuman-gene-fuss" would lead the discussion, while the actual dilemma would be left with less attention. Well, maybe this is a useless worry, because I guess at least the expert-led panels and discussions will stay on the subject.
2) While I really don't know much about AI and its potential possibilities, I know genetics, and I'm pretty certain that the superhuman & genetics – related characteristics, such as intelligence and beaty mentioned in the blog, whatever they mean, are not such characteristics that they could be effectively enhanched genetically. This is because there is no single of two genes that would make them and they are not genetically determined. So in this sense, I would say that the slippery slope from e.g. curing Huntington's with germ-line therapy to genetically enhancing intelligence is very implausible.
So while I have no competence on saying what superhuman-scenarios are reasonable related to AI and like, I'm pretty confident about the current scientific paradigm concerning genetics where it can be drawn that the idea of manipulating with effectivity highly polygenic and multifactorial characteristics is not reasonable to expect. Of course: obviously it cannot be falsified that it turns out that much that we know about genetics turns our to be wrong, but some scenarios are more reasonable than others.

Blade Runner 2049 SPOILER-FREE Review
I watched the original Blade Runner for the first time when I was younger, and I didn't really like it. Maybe a lot of the deeper, more philosophical elements of the film, went over my head, but I thought it was rather dull. In preparation for this new movie, I rewatched the original, and I certainly enjoyed it more than when I had watched it the first time, but I still am not entirely on board with it. With the sequel coming out, I've always been on the fence about it. Like I said before, I didn't care for the original when I first watched it, so there wasn't a whole lot attracting me to this new one. You do have Denis Villeneuve directing, which does excite me. I didn't love his last film, Arrival, but I do think he is an incredibly talented director. So to see him tackle a Blade Runner sequel was an interesting prospect. Not only do you have Harrison Ford reprising his role, but you also have Ryan Gosling, who is just coming off of an Oscar nomination for La La Land. Rounding out the supporting cast is Jared Leto, Robin Wright, and Dave Bautista, which makes for a great ensemble. But probably what stood out to me the most from the trailer was the cinematography. Roger Deakins is one of my favorite DPs, and every single shot from the trailers has been breathtaking. It sounds strange to say, but that's what I was looking forward to seeing the most with this movie. And it didn't disappoint. Despite my issues with the original, Blade Runner 2049 is a remarkable film that's one of my favorites of the year!
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner (Gosling) goes in search of the missing Rick Deckard (Ford).
It's a testament to how great of a sequel a film is when it can entirely reshape the first movie, and make you think about it in a whole new light. While watching 2049, I began to think of Blade Runner in a whole new way, a way that made me appreciate the film more. We always talk about sequels detracting from the original movie, but here Denis Villeneuve made a sequel that actually enhanced the original. There is also a lot of added context and background information that puts this world into perspective, and gives more clarity to certain things that happened in the original. When you look at all the intricate puzzle pieces at play in 2049, it's a miracle that Villeneuve was able to put it all together and make a truly engaging film. While I love the set up and the world of the first movie, it was the story that I found hard to get immersed into. But that is not a problem with 2049 at all. I was riveted by this film, and captivated from the first frame. It does such a beautiful job of telling its story and fleshing out its characters. Ryan Gosling delivers a subtle but powerful performance, one that fills the screen. While the supporting cast doesn't get as much screen time as Gosling does, they do give great performances. Harrison Ford is at the top of his game with this movie, and especially shines in a gut-wrenching scene between him and Jared Leto.
This film is truly a visual spectacle. I'm not sure exactly what were practical effects and what was CGI, but the line between them was seamless. It was a perfect synthesis of the two. One of the most striking parts of the first Blade Runner was its production, costume, and set design. They took so many active steps to make it feel like a living, breathing world, and 2049 continues that undoubtedly. Blade Runner focused on a more dark, grungy atmosphere, and succeeded with that by keeping the variety in locations minimal. With 2049's greater digital capabilities, and larger budget, we're able to visit new and different places than we could in the original, but it never loses the Blade Runner feel. You absolutely believe it's all part of the same existing world. This movie looks gorgeous, from the color palette to the cinematography. Roger Deakens gives us some of the best cinematography of the year, and I believe he is the front runner to win at the Oscars. I think this film will be up for a number of technical awards in addition to cinematography, including editing, score, sound design, production design, and I do think it has a chance at some bigger awards, like Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was incredibly well received, and it is a magnificent film. The Academy clearly likes Villenueve, considering Arrival's Oscar love last year. So I think 2049 has a shot at having a decent presence at the Oscars next year, but it all depends on what else comes out in the remaining months of 2017. In terms of negatives for this movie, I don't really have any. It could have had five to ten minutes shaved off, because its two hours and forty five minutes runtime felt a little too long. I also wish we got a little bit more of Harrison Ford, but I also think his absence from the film was a benefit to the story. So my negatives are either minimal or nonexistent.
Overall, for a person who merely liked but did not love the original Blade Runner movie, Blade Runner 2049 is a surprisingly brilliant and satisfying sequel. It takes what works about the original, as well as its flaws, and overall improves upon both of them. The visuals, the sets and locations, and the overarching atmosphere, are all ameliorated. The story, the weakest part of the original in my opinion, is so rich and captivating here. Ryan Gosling gives a great performance, as does the supporting cast. Denis Villeneuve directs the hell of this movie, and shows once again that he's one of the best in the business right now. Roger Deakens gives us an impeccable looking film, and delivers on some of the best cinematography of the year. Watching 2049 helped me understand and appreciate Blade Runner even more, and makes me want to go back and watch it again. The fact that 2049 can expand and improve upon the original without compromising the integrity of it, or losing what made fans love the first one so much, is a Herculean feat on Villeneuve's part, and it's incredible to me that he was able to make the whole thing come together. In the end, I will be seeing Blade Runner 2049 again in theaters in order to really deconstruct and analyse it, but as it stands right now, this is one of my favorite films of the year.

This collector's criteria applies in nearly any category of things, and is so universal because it's so human: The fewer there are of something, the more we want one. The classic example in the watch world is the "Rolex Paul Newman Daytona": all that separates the Paul Newman Daytona from a dull, everyday Daytona is the detailing on the dial (you can read a full explanation over at Hodinkee), yet this distinction is enough to send watch nerds into a frenzy every time one goes to auction. When one went on the block in Geneva in the fall of 2013, it ended up selling for more than $1 million USD.
This is not the kind of scarcity that Hublot trades in. The current Big Bang collection includes more than 100 different models, and it's not an unusually large one for the company. Furthermore, within their archive of collections, there seems to be an unlimited number of limited editions. Hublot has produced limited editions to commemorate relationships with brands like Ferrari and Johnnie Walker, events like the soccer World Cup and the Cricket World Cup, organizations like Manchester United and the Dallas Cowboys, and individuals like Jay Z and Kobe Bryant. When I met Usain Bolt at a Hublot event and asked him what his favorite Big Bang model was, he looked at me quizzically as he showed me what was on his wrist: the Hublot King Power Usain Bolt edition. "It even has my silhouette on the back." Of course.
Why does Hublot go to such effort and expense to produce so many limited editions? While the cynics say that they are attempting to manufacture scarcity, vintage watch dealer and AskMen contributor James Lamdin told me that it's actually volume that they company has in mind; they are going after the obsessive, the "Hublotistas," who want to own every model the company produces. "There's no doubt that there are Hublot enthusiasts. And there's no doubt that there are Hublot enthusiasts who collect multiple models, just as there are people who collect 14 different versions of the Royal Oak Offshore." Think Pogs for grown men who are flush with cash.
So Hublot is not likely to produce the next generation's Newman Daytona. Scarcity is one collector's criteria that the Big Bang does not fulfill.
The most interesting thing about the Paul Newman Daytona is just how tenuous the connection between the man and the watch is. He never had a formal relationship with Rolex, and although he was an established Daytona owner, there's very little documentation of him wearing one with that special detailing. There doesn't really need to be. What's so compelling about the Newman Daytona has little to do with him actually wearing one. It's more the image of the Paul Newman persona, itself a mix of the man himself and the roles he played, wearing a masculine timepiece while engaged in masculine activities, that lends it its power and value. The Paul Newman Daytona is a snapshot of an era as we like to imagine it, replete with freedom, adventure, and a manly man doing manly things. It's a watch of its time.


According to Gartner there is "continuing enthusiasm for the big data phenomenon". However, "demand for Hadoop specifically is not accelerating." So what's the story?
These are considered 'associative' because a piece of data is connected to another piece of data through another piece of data.
layer on top of an old technology.
Every statement, triple, K-V pair, is still stored in some hiding system, where the structure and namespace are in between the user and the information.
relationships Billy has. Then one has to decide what is pertinent to the interest one has in Billy. Once one gets all the relationships Billy has with the Universe, then one must check each thing's relationships to find out if anything has relationships to something related (possibly several degrees away) to the said interest in Billy.
In a real 'Associative Technology', one which is associative on all levels, (storage, data, information, intelligence, user), one need only select one's interest area and Billy. The network of relationships, (that in fact are the 'Associative Technology'), are live, accessible directly and generically from each data element, and, (since everything is automatically contextualized upon ingestion, generating a virtual contextual graph of all minimal pathways between all contexts (not at the data level like all NoSQL systems), can provide an automated means to answer every question one can ask about anything.
In every other 'technology' you can only find what you specifically ask for in a unique namespace bound query created in some complex language like OWL or SparQL… "What does Billy Love?" one could ask and in the result set one would find cheese, but Billy could 'like' of 'enjoy' or 'really like' or 'is enamored with' or 'adores' or 'whatever' cheese.
How could one possibly know what to ask to find out that there is some sentiment with cheese?
What if the interest was farms, and one wanted to know if Billy has any interest in farms. The knowledge of farms, farm products, distribution networks and grocery stores would have to be factored into the data store, and intelligently presented so that a query could path it's way from Billy to the farm, through his love of cheese.
The AtomicDB system is an Associative Information System that mimics human memory capabilities. It can function as a database but calling it a database is like calling a human a consumer, sure a human can consume but there is far more to being human that just consuming, (or at least one would hope), all relationships are facts and all relationships are in dimensions of association that correspond directly to the many and varied contexts of the information about the data.
Finding common information about any number of things is simply part of the associative memory function capabilities. It 'resolves' relationships in a completely general and generic (non-namespace bound) way.

"The Conservatives will lose significant votes to the Liberal Democrats or other remain parties if they force through a no-deal Brexit against the will of parliament, the party stalwart Michael Heseltine has warned."
And they face electoral annihilation by the Brexit Party if they don't deliver Brexit before the next GE.
That's democracy

Ok, he disagreed with her over Europe. But she made post war UK and she made him.

I suppose its only going to get worse as we close in on 31 October:
The Green MP, Caroline Lucas, has thrown down the gauntlet to 10 high-profile female politicians over blocking a no-deal Brexit, proposing a cabinet of national unity including Labour's Emily Thornberry, the Liberal Democrat leader, Jo Swinson, and the former Conservative cabinet minister Justine Greening to seek legislation for a fresh referendum.
The scraping noise you can hear is the sound of outstretched hands desperately reaching for straws.
BiND – I'm pretty sure that Caroline Lucas and her grinchy little face and her man-repelling Mum hair and her witchie woo tree-humping ladybollocks explains why James I was so enthusiastic about burning venomous old hags at the stake. (Don't worry, they're a renewable resource)

"Oh yes: it was Gina Miller"
It's enough to make you laugh. It, no deal, should be called Gina Miller's Deal.
No, its just smoked out of the Tory party all those MPs who were not conservative at all, and would be more at home in the other political parties. Contrary to the usual suspects opinion, No Deal has a considerable following in the country, if not Parliament, and thus a Tory Party shorn of its Tory in Name Only MPs stands a good chance of doing pretty well at the ballot box.
Mr Ecks August 11, 2019 at 8:43 pm
Heseltine is scum. It is a very likely cosmic injustice that he will go to his grave without having the treason and arrogance "removed" from him.
This claim that MPs didn't vote for no-deal is really pissing me off.
This is how parliament voted:
MPs have voted by a majority of 384 to allow Prime Minister Theresa May to get Brexit negotiations under way.
They backed the government's European Union Bill, supported by the Labour leadership, by 498 votes to 114.
I'd say that's overwhelming.
This is what they voted for:
1 Notification of the United Kingdom's intention to withdraw from the European Union
(1) Her Majesty's Government has a duty to notify the European Council by 31 March 2017 of the United Kingdom's intention to withdraw from the European Union.
(2) The notification must meet the terms of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.
2 Short title, commencement and extent
(1)This Act may be cited as the Withdrawal from the European Union (Article 50) Act 2017.
(2) The Act shall come into force on the day on which it receives Royal Assent.
(3) This Act extends to England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
It doesn't state anywhere that the government has to negotiate a deal, let alone mention what a deal should look like.
I'm not going to quote A50 here, its too long, but from my reading it doesn't say anything about having a deal nor what a deal should look like.
Parliament has steadfastly refused to approve a deal that was negotiated, refused to say what a deal should look like or come up with any other positive position.
Its almost like MPs didn't know what they were voting for!
From now on I shall refute all assertions that MPs didn't vote for "no deal" thus: show me where it says that in the Bill.
The referendum that was supposed to end the Tory intwrnecine fighting has ended up destroying the party.
Let's hope so, eh?

What's the opposite of Chesterton's Fence ie building a fence without considering exactly what you're stopping?
Strikingly, some constitutional scholars argue that there is nothing in law that precludes this course of action. They note that the Fixed Term Parliaments Act (FTPA) that provides for such confidence votes is silent on the actions a prime minister should take in such circumstances. Downing Street, in the form of Dominic Cummings, is seeking to fill that silence with the noisy suggestion that Prime Minister Johnson would just sit tight, effectively daring the Queen to take a genuinely unprecedented role in politics by sacking him and inviting someone else to form a government.
Just as I hit post the BBC news announced:
"Is the government preparing to call a snap election?"
No it isn't you fucking morons, that was the point of the FTPA.

@BiND
It seems sexism is now acceptable in some elements of the pro-EU/anti-Brexit camp, with little or no negative comment from the Guardian. Imagine the furore (quite rightly) if a male politician had suggested an all-male cabinet to solve the impasse, or worse still, if some white supremacist had suggested an all-white Cabinet was the solution. But calls for an all-woman Cabinet are fine, apparently:
"Caroline Lucas calls for emergency female cabinet to block no-deal Brexit
Green MP urges 10 top female politicians to form cabinet of national unity to deliver fresh referendum"
I oppose discrimination of all kinds wherever I see it, and that includes opposing positive discrimination, which is also wrong-headed and unfair.

By civil servants colluding with the EU during Mrs May's surrender negotiations? By unaccountable Canadian bankers who've taken it on themselves to tell us how we should not run our country? By the British media, which shat its collective trousers over imaginary Russian propaganda while publishing the most risible anti-British propaganda, terrorising old ladies into thinking their medicines will be stopped and whatnot?
by chanting members of the Brexit death-cult.
Are you aving a laugh?
So it should be no great surprise that we've reached the stage where it is said that the Prime Minister of the day is prepared to set aside pretty much the most fundamental principle of representative democracy in the name of the precious Brexit.
What principle is that? That politicians should do what we tell them? That manifesto commitments should be implemented? That political decisions should be based on popular consent?
Lol, no:
that in the event that the government loses a confidence vote in parliament before Britain has left the EU, Boris Johnson would simply refuse to resign as Prime Minister and cling to office until the automatic conveyor-belt of law had carried Britain out of the EU on October 31st.
So the "most fundamental principle of representative democracy" at stake here is the principle that conservatives (small c) are supposed to be noble losers. And God knows, they've had enough practice at that since 1990.
Never mind the constitutional skullfuckery of Bercow, Grieve, Letwin and co. Boris is supposed to give treacherous, lying MP's a free pass at cancelling Brexit and his government because – well, because! It's the principle, innit?
The rest is mostly insipid twatwaffle, but I'm amused that Kirkup could type this with a straight (albeit foetal alcohol syndrome) face:
Britain, like all democracies, relies in large part on conventions, shared understandings about things that must happen under certain circumstances.
Won't SOMEBODY please think of the conventions? Jamie's jizz-encrusted bowtie is twirling with indignation!
But here's a timely reminder of why conservatives have been losing for a generation:
the notion that Prime Minister Boris Johnson could simply ignore outright parliamentary defeat and insist on retaining executive power: what will you do when Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn does the same thing?
Imagine being paid – paid! – to write about politics and believing that the Left does now or has ever let mere "convention" stop it from doing whatever it wants. No wonder Blair was always grinning.
Kirkup should definitely get a Brazilian, because he's an utter fanny.

He's not descended yet as far as Matthew Parris, but his Speccy pieces have looked to be heading in that direction…
Bloke on M4 August 12, 2019 at 10:54 am
What Jim said.
The fact is that the quiche-eating end of the Conservatives have been pretty rubbish. None of them matched even the worst majority that Mrs Thatch got.
Chasing the people who want to hug a hoodie or take more taxes never works because the Lib Dems are always bigger milquetoasts and Labour burn more money. And the robust tories leave and vote UKIP.
The soft right thought Cameron was great but he couldn't get a resounding victory over Brown.
John Galt August 12, 2019 at 11:48 am
Which is as damning a condemnation of Cameron as you'll ever need. If you can't win a Tory landslide after the one-eyed Viking then you don't even deserve the name "Tory".
However, this played against him in 2015. He thought he'd get another minority so that he could play houseshare with the LibDems for another term and blame them for not having the promised EU referendum. He must have been gutted when he learned he'd won 2015 with a majority.
The problem is that mentality has infested the Tories, which is why they are completely disconnected from their base. Time for Boris to empower a bit of electoral honest in the local constituencies and let Grieve, Hammond and the rest of the traitors of the "continuity Remain" campaign FEEL THE BURN!
A post-BRExit General Election is going to be a surprise defeat for those Tory Remainers who haven't been deselected.
Hopefully losing their seat at the next GE will be as surprising for them as Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide was surprising to him.
Sure, laugh at the farce going on, but buy piano wire or hempen rope while you're doing so.

I always like to see Hezza on telly, reminding the world what a sad bitter cunt of a loser he is.
What makes me really happy is that he knows it too.
CJ Nerd August 12, 2019 at 1:46 pm
Bloke on M4 wins the thread.
…I don't see anything about Hitler in BoM4's comments…
Mr Womby August 12, 2019 at 4:07 pm
Anyone else noticed that Hezza is slowly turning into Carl Fredericksen from the animated film "Up"?

21st Century Fox's Rupert Murdoch is trying to get ahead of the game on tackling sexual harassment claims.
Rupert Murdoch's Twenty-First Century Fox (fox) said Thursday it had agreed to buy European pay-TV firm Sky for $14.6 billion, sticking to its earlier offer despite complaints from some investors.
Fox said it would pursue a Scheme of Arrangement, meaning it would need the backing of 75 percent of Sky's independent shareholders who vote to secure a deal that values Sky at 18.5 billion pounds ($23 billion) in total.
Seeking to consolidate his media empire across Europe and the U.S., Murdoch is buying the 61 percent of Sky he does not already own to fully acquire its 22 million customers in Britain, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Austria.
The two firms said last Friday they had struck a preliminary deal.
But the price of 10.75 pounds per share, representing a premium of around 40 percent on the day before the initial proposal was received, disappointed several top 50 shareholders who accused Sky of selling out to their founder and biggest shareholder too cheaply.
People familiar with the matter have told Reuters that Fox pounced after Britain's vote to leave the EU in June sent the pound down about 15 percent against the U.S. dollar and Sky's share price tumbling.
The agreed deal come five years after Murdoch failed in a previous bid to buy Sky, when a newspaper phone hacking scandal at one of his tabloids derailed a previous offer.
Since then, the 85-year-old media mogul has split his business into two parts, with Fox housing the TV assets and News Corp home to his newspapers, including The Sun and The Times of London.
Competition lawyers and analysts believe the new structure should be enough to alleviate concerns over media plurality, but critics will argue that despite the split, Murdoch and his sons James and Lachlan still control both firms.
Culture Secretary Karen Bradley now has two weeks to decide whether the deal violates the public interest in so far as it relates to media plurality.

Q: Histogram on elements of a 2D matrix in Matlab I am wondering if there is any build in function or an easy way to plot a histogram of elements of a 2d array.
For example, if A=rand(100,1), then A is an 1D array, and hist(A) can do the histogram.
However, what if A=rand(100,100), and I would like to make a histogram on elements of A, just like treating each element in A as an element on a 1D array. Is there a easy way to do so?

A: This command will do what you want:
hist(reshape(A, prod(size(A)), 1))

What it does is create a vector out of the matrix A by reshaping it into a matrix with one column and a number of rows equal to the number of elements of A:
prod(size(A)) = number_of_columns(A) * number_of_rows(A)

Or the short way:
hist(A(:))

This takes every element of A in sequence and thus also generates a vector.

A: You just have to reshape A into a vector, then you can use hist as usual:
hist(A(:))

Els Fets del ¡Cu-Cut!, també coneguts com La Cuartelada, van esdevenir a Barcelona el 25 de novembre de 1905, quan militars espanyols van assaltar i destrossar les redaccions del setmanari satíric ¡Cu-Cut! i del diari La Veu de Catalunya.

Antecedents
Els militars espanyols havien estat un dels blancs preferits de la revista, atès que l'exèrcit havia esdevingut una institució anacrònica i inoperant que a Barcelona representava el braç executor d'un govern centralista i repressiu. El general Weyler i el paper dels militars espanyols a la recent desfeta de Cuba eren tema recurrent dels humoristes.

Després d'un multitudinari àpat de celebració de la Lliga Regionalista al Frontón Condal de Barcelona amb motiu de la victòria a les eleccions municipals, gran part dels assistents sortiren cantant l'himne Els Segadors i, tot passant per davant un local lerrouxista, alguns manifestats foren ferits de trets.

El setmanari ¡Cu-Cut! publicà un acudit de Joan Garcia Junceda en què, partint del títol de l'àpat, Banquet de la Victòria, ridiculitzava les derrotes dels militars espanyols. Aleshores, uns 300 oficials de la guarnició de Barcelona destrossaren i calaren foc a la redacció del setmanari ¡Cu-cut!, a la impremta-llibreria Bagunyà del carrer Avinyó on s'editava també el setmanari En Patufet, i a la redacció del diari La Veu de Catalunya.

Reacció
Després de l'assalt dels militars, el Govern va suspendre'n la publicació. El següent exemplar, el número 205, no va sortir fins al 28 d'abril de l'any següent. Durant aquest temps, l'editor va intentar continuar amb la mateixa revista amb un nom diferent. L'editor Josep Baguñà va aprofitar la revista Garba d'art i literatura on col·laboraven Maragall, Víctor Català o Josep Pijoan entre d'altres i, al seu número 11, la revista va canviar de format amb una capçalera redibuixada per Cornet i amb unes seccions i contingut pràcticament calcades del Cu-cut!. L'estratagema no va passar desapercebut al governador civil de Barcelona que va suspendre immediatament aquesta revista.

Mentre a Catalunya la reacció va provocar la creació de la Solidaritat Catalana, a Espanya el vandalisme dels oficials espanyols va provocar un moviment d'adhesió als assaltants. El govern de Montero Ríos, davant la crisi provocada per l'incident, va adoptar la decisió de castigar els militars. L'oposició del Cap d'Estat, Alfons XIII, a aquesta mesura va motivar la seva dimissió, i pujà Segismundo Moret qui suspengué les garanties constitucionals a Barcelona i, amb el seu ministre de Governació Alvaro de Figueroa y Torres (Comte de Romanones), impulsà la Llei de Jurisdiccions que afavoria els militars.

El catalanisme i l'exèrcit espanyol
Les relacions entre l'exèrcit espanyol i el catalanisme eren dolentes. Durant el mes de maig d'aquell any, el periòdic independentista La Tralla havia publicat un número extraordinari dedicat a commemorar la independència de Cuba, pel qual foren processats el director, Josep Maria Folch i Torres, i tres redactors.

Més enllà d'una reacció irada puntual, cal veure aquests incidents com la reaparició del militarisme en la vida política espanyola. Els 'fets del ¡Cu-Cut! certifiquen la reaparició dels militars com a grup de pressió en la vida política, en aquesta ocasió contra el que consideraven un perill separatista, excessivament tolerat pels governs, segons bona part de l'oficialitat.

Laura Haddock Workout Routine
Posted on August 3, 2018 by Jena Leave a comment
Actress Laura Haddock had her career beginnings in the late 2000s. She debuted in an episode of the television series My Family. She later had roles on the TV movies The Colour of Magic and Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye. Her first notable role on the small screen was as Samantha on the British sitcom How Not to Live Your Life. She later pursued a career on the big screen, debuting with a small role in the Hollywood film Captain America: The First Avenger. At the same time, she was noticed for her role in the movie The Inbetweeners Movie.
She next starred in the film Storage 24. From 2013 to 2015, she became widely known for starring as Lucrezia Donati on the historical fantasy series Da Vinci's Demons. While on the show, she played Meredith Quill in the Hollywood film Meredith Quill, which she reprised in the sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. She's also played Megan Cantor on the British series Luther, as well as guest-starred on The Musketeers and The Level. In 2017, she co-starred as Viviane Wembly in the Hollywood feature Transformers: The Last Knight.
The actress gave birth to her first child in 2015 and shortly after that she landed a starring role in the film Transformers: The Last Knight. With this, she knew she had to work hard in order to gain her body back. Of course, it wasn't just for appearance's sake, she also needed to train in order to improve her strength and agility. These are crucial considering she was shooting for a highly-packed action-oriented film.
So, what was her workout routine like during this period? According to her, she underwent a two-month training program of weights, barre work, pilates and riding and all these while being supervised by her trainer. Talking about the experience, she said: "I didn't try to rush it. My body was different after giving birth – my hips were a different shape and I had to be careful about my stomach muscles."
