"What I hear from my bosses is that since I've been here, there's another dynamic in the workshop. Very quickly, they were also surprised by the quality of my work"
Noticias EN, Testimonies
Question: Why did you choose this job?
Answer: I was unemployed when I received a newsletter from Forem for training in stonemasonry. As I had studied art, I thought I might enjoy it. After my training, I did an internship in the company that hired me in the Plan Formation Insertion and then on a permanent contract as a worker.
I love stone, its smell and all its possibilities! There are so many things you can do with stone. I also like engraving, even if I don't do much of it in my workplace.
Q: How was the welcome at the company/training centre?
A: When the bosses warned the colleagues that a girl was coming, they were expecting an ice cupboard instead. They were rather surprised!
What I hear from my bosses is that since I've been here, there's another dynamic in the workshop.
The colleagues have taught me a lot during my training courses. This has obviously been beneficial for my integration. But, very quickly, they were also surprised by the quality of my work.
Q: What advice would you give to a girl who wants to do this job?
A: You have to be solid. Both morally and physically! Even if we get along well, there are sometimes reflections. It has to come in through one ear and come out through the other.
We are used to say that girls are "canlettes" but here I notice that men are much more so. When I worked as a cashier, I didn't know so much gossip!
Q: What has helped you get to where you are today?
A: The Forem training because that's what gave me access to this profession.
But it's above all my character. I'm not one to give up.
I was also lucky enough to work with an older person who showed me the ropes of the trade. But after this schooling, I also had to set my limits so that he wouldn't get too involved in my work. For that, you have to be able to recognize your skills. To know when you're right or wrong.
Q: What difficulties did you encounter?
A: I have had difficulties in not knowing how to wear, but I always try before giving up. If it's too hard, you ask for help. But that goes for my male colleagues as well.
Q: Is there a message you can pass on to companies ?
A: Stop believing that women are not capable!
A trial period or an internship is the best way to see if you are suitable.
If it doesn't work out, at least you'll have a firm commitment. But if it does work, the company can be pleasantly surprised!

Sometimes when you have an idea, you don't know where it's going to go. Sometimes, it goes straight into my ideas box (a small, silver gift box I didn't send the gift in(!), but kept and is now full of post-its and scraps of paper with ideas that I wanted to not lose, but needed to park for later). Sometimes you act on the idea, and it takes off. It forms a trajectory of its own. And it begins to change from a trickle to a stream in your life. And then who knows, perhaps to become the whole ocean of what it is you are, or what you do.
That seems to be the way my writing work around animals and conservation is heading. With the wonderful news that I've been awarded a Churchill Travel Fellowship for 2014, to research best practice in the USA and Canada in the field of writing practice as it takes place in the field of conservation education.
The Fellowship, one of 137 this year, out of around 1,200 applications, gives me the opportunity to spend six weeks developing knowledge and practice in conservation education, learning from some of the world's leading organisations and individuals in taking conservation education to school and community groups.
The main focus of this work so far has been on marine mammal conservation. It began when I got involved with the charity ORCA and their cetacean data project in the North East of England–whale and dolphin watching, basically, to gather data about the populations in the sea along the North East coast, and in the North Sea, seen from the DFDS Ferries that cross to continental Europe.
But I wanted to do more, and learn more. So I applied for a small grant from HEFCE via the Unlimited Fund, which supports new social enterprises. And I was successful — and Nature Stories was born. ORCA already did school visits, taking the school kids out on the ferries to Amsterdam, to see the whales and dolphins. I then proposed writing workshops with them afterwards. You can read more about that on the project overview.
This work seemed so important I wanted to take it further. And the Churchill Fellowship looked like a good way to do that. And I was delighted when I was awarded the grant.
So I'm beginning to plan out the trip, which will take in some writing for/at the Vancouver Aquarium; joining Jackie Hildering the marine detective on some killer whale education boat tours with the Killer Whale Center; a visit to San Juan's Whale Museum; attending the Mid-Atlantic Marine Educators Network Conference in Maryland; and then back over to Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (with, I hope, time for a trip to Farm Sanctuary and Animal Place in between).
I'm also going to spend a week of my own time in Toronto with the marvelous Toronto Pig Save people, and Jo-Anne McArthur, the author of We Animals, and who runs the Humane Education project, because I want to extend this work into writing practice around farmed animals too, seeing how writing (my own, inspiring that of others) can generate greater awareness and deeper reflection, leading to change, in people's treatment of animals, and an improvement in the recognition and interests of animals, especially those billions (fish, farmed animals) who are all but invisible to us as living, sentient beings. Who are, as the film suggests, the Ghosts in Our Machine.
I'll be using the Nature Stories site as my project blog to record the experience and connections, ideas, and discoveries — of which I hope and expect there to be many.

Changes to food allergy guidelines have led to a decrease in peanut allergy among infants
Subject: Health
Changes to food allergy recommendations have contributed to a 16% drop in peanut allergy in children, according to a recent study. The study, led by the Murdock Children's Research Institute (MCRI) and to be discussed at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Virtual Annual Meeting this Sunday, also noticed a substantial rise in parents adding peanut into their baby's diet as guideline adjustments.
Introducing peanuts early in childhood has been shown to prevent peanut allergy during randomized controlled trials. But MCRI Ph.D. candidate and study lead author Victoria Soriano said that this thesis was the first to assess the method at home and to examine the effect of the shift in guidelines on peanut allergies.
Changes to food allergy guidelines have led to a 16 percent decrease in peanut allergy among infants, new research from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) has found.
In 2016, the International Baby Food Recommendations updated to recommend the introduction of peanuts and other allergenic foods before 12 months. As the guideline updates, which suggest the inclusion of peanuts and other allergenic foods before 12 months, researchers have noted a substantial uptick in parents adding peanuts to their baby's diet.
"In the 1990s, some recommendations suggested that allergenic foods should be avoided before the age of 1-3 years and that certain foods should be avoided in childhood should become common," said Ms. Soriano. "By 2008, this recommendation had begun to be withdrawn on the basis of growing evidence that delaying allergenic foods was linked with an elevated risk of food allergy. However, there was also inadequate support for clear guidelines as to the age at which these foods could be incorporated."
Evolution of Guidelines on Peanut Allergy
The Melbourne study compared data from 1,933 infants enrolled in the 2018-2019 EarlyNuts study to 5,276 infants enrolled in the 2007-2011 HealthNuts study. The study showed that the incidence of peanut allergy was 2.6 percent in 2018-2019 compared to 3.1 percent in 2007-2011, which amounted to a 16 percent decline after migration and demographic changes. In 2018-2019, 4.8% of babies who did not eat peanuts until 12 months or older became allergic. Extreme reactions to the early introduction of peanuts were unusual, data shows.
Ms. Soriano said there was a strong adoption amid the initial fear that parents would not follow the recommendation to implement peanut early. Peanut intake rose by 12 months from 28 percent to 89 percent in 10 years to 2019, which could have stopped the increase in peanut allergy, according to the report. Melbourne's mother, Megan Chappel, started feeding her baby, Stellan, 10 months old, a peanut food five months old. Stellan is participating in the MCRI Vitality Allergy Trial.
"We're trying to integrate peanut ingredients into his diet as best as we can," she added. "It's reassuring to see that peanut allergy has not only died, but that many parents are adopting the latest recommendations." Dr. Jennifer Koplin, MCRI, said that despite the decline in peanut allergy, overall incidence remained high.
Australia has the highest recorded rates of childhood food allergy in the world, with one in 10 babies and one in 20 children up to five years of age becoming allergic. "The protection of early peanut consumption at home is of great concern to parents and health professionals around the world," Dr. Koplin said. "More research needs to be done to look more deeply at these patterns to help people understand how well the early use of peanuts performs to reduce peanut allergy in real-life circumstances."
In the Vitality experiment, Melbourne children aged six to 12 weeks are recruited to assess whether taking a vitamin D supplement in the first year of life will help avoid food allergies. For more information on MCRI allergy screening, please visit the Centre for Food and Allergy Testing website. Researchers from the University of Melbourne, the Florey Institute of Psychiatry and Mental Wellbeing and the Royal Children's Hospital have all contributed to the research.

February brought an embarrassment of riches; my sister has a new baby, my son was bar mitzvahed, we have a litter of baby bunnies. Also, two of my stories were published, and another has been selected to be in the inaugural issue of a new literary magazine. I am reproducing here the first 357 words of The Messiah, which is presently appearing in Jewishfiction.net, an exciting new online journal showcasing, you guessed it, Jewish fiction. To read the rest of the story, click on the link below.
At around two in the morning, my mother shook me awake. The Messiah was coming. There was no doubt about it, he'd been spotted ten miles outside of Wlodawa. At this rate, he would be here by morning. Get up, get up. We had to pack.
She left me to dress. It was a cold November night, gale force winds rattling the roof tiles and chimney pots. Reluctant to surrender the warmth of my bed, I shut my eyes tight and snuggled down into the covers to consider this information.
It wasn't as if there hadn't been signs. Strange lights in the sky, unusual weather. A dybbuk had taken possession of the tailor's wife. An actual Golem had saved the lives of two-hundred and fifty people being led off to slaughter. A whole battalion of Deutschen, wiped out by mysterious forest creatures. The news was on everyone's lips. We were in the throes of an epic showdown between good and evil. Messianic times, for sure.
Downstairs, I heard the sound of my mother's voice, hurried, anxious. There would be time for exhilaration later. Now, she had to make certain that everyone would have enough food and clothing for the long journey to Eretz Yisroel, the Promised Land.
It was then that I heard it, a tread as light as a cat's footfall. The rustling of cloth, the faintest of sighs. The end of my bed depressed, just a bit.
"Get off of my bed, Temma," I said loudly. My sister liked to sneak in when she could. When I was little, I allowed her under the blankets with me, but I was twelve now, almost a man. There was no answer. Annoyed, I stuck my head out from the covers.
A stranger was sitting there, in a long white gown tied with a rope around the waist. Over it, he wore a long robe woven with stripes. On his feet, sandals.

Q: JAVA get file's modified time and delete it The folder has many files, about 100 million per folder.
For now I used the java file.listfiles() to get what I need, but the time is too long.
about 7~10mins that the listfiles() return me the Files[]. This is wasting time.
Is there any better way to check every file in a folder who has a lot of files?
I am not a native speaker,sorry for any confused expressions.

A: See Files:
Path directoryPath = Paths.get("...");
Files.find(directoryPath, 1, (p, attr) -> true)
    .foreach(Files::delete);

If you have a filtering condition, like attr.creationTime() that will be somewhat faster. Otherwise Files.list will do. A huge speedup one may not necessarily expect, but it could be.

A: Use a DirectoryStream, path to the JavaDoc is here:

In 2005, the revived, under VW Group's umbrella, Bugatti made history with the launch of the Veyron 16.4, a technological masterpiece that became the fastest car in the world.
As if the 1,014 PS output of the quad-turbo W16 wasn't enough, Molsheim raised its game to 1,200 PS with the Super Sport coupe and Grand Sport Vitesse open-top and, additionally, rolled out many special editions.
One of them is the World Record Edition of the Vitesse that's currently for sale at HR Owen for the princely sum of £1,795,000, or $2.5 million. One of only eight ever produced, it is finished in Black Carbon Fiber with Orange painted Arancia Carbon Fiber elements. This color scheme was conceived for its record-breaking speed attempt that took place in April 2013. The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse went on to hit 254.04 mph (408.84 km/h), making it the world's fastest open top car – which should come as no surprise considering the power it packs.
This particular example is a UK car originally registered in October 2013 with just one previous owner. It has covered only 1,130 miles (1,818 km), or roughly the distance between London and Rome.
Located at the Berkeley Square in London, HR Owen is the only official UK Bugatti dealer. This is also the only place where you'll be able to buy the upcoming Chiron in the UK when it goes on sale later this year.

In Indiana, state government tries using big data project to reduce infant mortality
By Mohana Ravindranath
Mohana Ravindranath
Bio Follow
Over the past year, Indiana's governor, Republican Mike Pence, has spoken frequently about a persistent public health issue: a higher-than-average infant mortality rate.
The state logs 7.7 infant deaths per 1,000 births, compared with the national rate of 7 deaths per 1,000 births. Several factors may contribute to this — about 17 percent of women living in Indiana smoke while pregnant, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. Some women lack the education to provide proper nutrition for their babies.
Pence's staff suspected that the solution to Indiana's infant mortality problem lay hidden in the state's records, stored in disparate data sets throughout various government agencies. Analyzing these data sets — pairing causes of death from the Department of Health with socioeconomic data from the Family and Social Services Administration, for instance — could help the state determine which preventative programs to fund, they surmised.
In July, the Indiana state government signed a contract with European software company SAP to use its data management system HANA, which stands for High-Performance Analytic Appliance, to crunch data about infant mortality. This is the first major public-health big data application in Indiana, according to state officials, and if successful, the state plans to use the approach to solve other problems, such as recidivism. Indiana is investing about $9.1 million in the overall big data project.
The state aims to reduce the rate to 7.4 deaths per 1,000 births by January, 7.3 by 2015, and 6.89 in 2016, according to the Indiana State Department of Health.
Indiana's pilot comes at a time when federal, state and local governments are gradually showing interest in big data. In May, the Obama administration published a review of big data applications in the public and private sectors, and last year the president signed an executive order requiring the government to make its data available to the public.
"Hoosiers deserve an open and accountable government that moves at the speed of business," Pence said in a statement.
The state selected SAP — whose main customers are large commercial businesses — out of several other software vendors, according to Indiana's chief financial officer and management and budget director Chris Atkins.
About a month into the project, the state government is still establishing links between the mortality rate of infants and other factors such as the parents' level of education. Atkins declined to share the pilot's findings until after they have been subjected to more tests.
"Maybe it's education, [but] maybe it's something else we need to look into," Atkins said, adding that once the state identifies factors tied strongly to mortality, it plans to invest more heavily in programs addressing those factors.
If a low maternal education level is found to be a strong predictor of infant mortality in Indiana, the state may invest more heavily in education programs or in outreach for expectant mothers. Other factors, such as environmental pollutants or crime, could also be linked to mortality.
"The government gives us the ability to shift resources — whether they be personnel, or dollars — into programs or areas that demonstrate better results, and away from programs that don't demonstrate results," Atkins said.
Atkins declined to share how much the state was paying SAP. He noted that the majority of fees were paid upfront, with a small annual maintenance fee. The state also has had to hire a handful of ad hoc technology consultants to set up the effort.
"The state of Indiana didn't have a lot of data scientists on the payroll before we started this project, but by and large we've been able to do it within existing [staff]," he said.
In the past couple of years, states have been issuing hundreds of big data-related solicitations for technology each day, said Chris Dixon, an analyst for Deltek, a Herndon, Va., company that provides market research to government contractors.
"Public health and community information have really been the driver of the public facing data analytics" programs, he said.
Especially during the Obama administration's "open data" push, state and local governments have focused on making more information publicly available so that outside developers and entrepreneurs can crunch it, sometimes creating apps and software for citizens, Dixon said.
But when faced with specific problems — such the infant mortality rate — governments can no longer wait for the public to solve them, Dixon said. He added that in the past year or so, he has noticed more state and local administrations attempting to process their own data.


World War II left much of Budapest's Old Jewish Quarter abandoned and in decay, this area is now the home of ruin parties which are held in these deserted buildings. These funky, well hidden bars are bustling with atmosphere, dancing and each ruin party has its own little vibe. You won't hear them from the outside, they are quite well concealed, with make shift furniture – these parties aren't for everyone. If you prefer parties that are a bit glam, these might not be for you.
Caribbean carnivals give you a bit of everything; culture, colourful costumes, sun and smiles. Expect incredible soca and calypso music, big sound systems and good vibes. Carnivals generally go on over an extended period of time – up to a month, with lots of different events including street parties, boat parties, beach parties, parades and steel band competitions to name a few. There are carnivals through the Caribbean with most if not all Caribbean islands having their own celebrations. Some of the bigger ones are St Lucia Carnival and J'ouvert which is big in Trinidad (but also in other Caribbean islands) where people cover themselves in oil and mud (it's supposed to be a spiritual thing).
New Orleans is the home of Jazz and where some of the most influential music has come from so if you are a music junkie you will love it here! Blues, RnB and French Creole music are also very popular (and very good) – as is the Creole food! If you are heading to New Orleans, try and plan for going during Mardi Gras which goes on for about two weeks over Shrove Tuesday, there are several parades and parties during this time. Outside Mardi Gras head to the well known Bourbon Street for an exciting mix of nightlife.
Cancun is the lazy partiers holiday destination…. Imagine huge all-inclusive hotels, all next to each other, along a gorgeous strip of powder white sand beach and the bluest sea you have ever seen. The hotels are pretty impressive and have extensive entertainment programs, day and night, including full on beach parties, club nights and world renounced DJ's like Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren playing. Expect a lot of electronic dance music, sun bathing during the day and partying all night.
Croatia is home to many party events and festivals with a wide variety of different music genres including psy trance, techno, hip hop, disco and even jazz. There are lots f party destinations in Croatia, some of the most popular party places are; Pula where you can party inside the second biggest Roman Amphitheatre (the Coliseum in Rome is the biggest) which is possibly one of the coolest music venues! Pula also has a small island that has psy trance parties on. Zrce Beach on the island of Pag is where many of the big EDM festivals are including Ultra, Sonus and Hideout Festival. Pag is a big party island (possibly verging on the Ibiza and Magaluf side of things so prepare yourself!) Other party locations in Croatia include Split and Hvar.
A holiday to Las Vegas gives you lots of freedom so you can party as much or as little as you like, as well as soak up the sights – and there is loads to explore (find out more about what to see and do in Las Vegas). By night you can dance the night away at pool parties, roof top parties, casinos and night clubs.
Our customers love to party so we have been planning party holidays for many years; from Caribbean carnivals and clubbing holidays to Jazz events and everything in-between!

Most stamp collectors use printed stamp albums to house their collections.
I use a combination of printed stamp albums, self-made pages, albums for special collections, stock books and cover albums. This might sound somewhat jumbled, but it suits me just fine.
I have described how to make your own album pages and have extolled the virtues of using stock books for collecting, but I have never said much about using stamp albums for a stamp collection. Let's face it, most of us began our collections by putting stamps into albums, and most collectors continue doing that as long as they collect.
Picking an album to use is not a simple process. A beginner collector who wants to collect the entire world, with album spaces for each stamp, from 1840 (when Great Britain issued the first postage stamp) to the present is faced with a major purchase of the Scott International binders and pages or some equivalent set of country albums.
Further expense will be required every year to buy the supplements and then incorporate them into all of the albums. For some, the expense in time and money might not be a problem. For most of us, it would be.
Better options exist for beginners who have limited budgetary resources. The first is to buy albums by region.
Someone who wants to concentrate first on the United States can do so by acquiring album pages and binders for everything that can be collected or for just those areas of U.S. stamps that hold interest for them, such as the regular (definitive) issues, the commemoratives, the airmails or plate number coils.
Various publishers offer a wide variety of general and speciality albums for foreign countries. Pick your country, select the pages you want by date of stamp issue, and then order a binder to fit them.
U.S. collectors might also want to check out an album produced by Mystic Stamp Co. The three-volume American Heirloom Collection of United States Stamps album is perfect for a family project.
The pages have spaces for stamps, and the facing pages contain short background stories about the stamps.
Some collectors save money by buying used stamp albums that are still in good condition. They certainly can be found, sometimes partially filled with stamps.
If you go that route, be certain that the album you buy shows no evidence of insect infestation, mold or mildew. Look for irregular holes in the paper, black or rusty colored specks or a stale or musty smell.
All of these are telltale signs that the album is not in good condition.
Once you have an album you will need to decide whether to use mounts, hinges or a combination of both.
Stamp mounts are more expensive than hinges and add additional bulk to an album.
Some collectors use stamp mounts only to mount stamps that are in mint, never hinged condition. These collectors use hinges on stamps that have already been hinged and on used stamps.
Other collectors use mounts for all stamps, whether mint or used, and some collectors prefer using hinges on all stamps. It is a matter of personal preference, but remember that catalogs value mint, never-hinged stamps and unused, hinged stamps differently.
Also remember that stamp hinges are not as peelable as they were 20 years ago. Remove hinges with caution.
Most collectors would agree that the fun part of stamp collecting is finding new stamps for a collection and putting them in the album. You can fill a lot of spaces quickly by buying collections or single-country packets of stamps that are all different.
Once you have bought packets a few times, you will notice you are still missing stamps in many sets. They may not necessarily be expensive stamps. Not all hard-to-find stamps are expensive, but some require special effort to acquire. This can include ordering them by Scott catalog number from a dealer, finding them at a stamp show, bidding on them in an online, mail or public auction or ordering them from the American Philatelic Society StampStore web site or other web sites.
When I was a child, I used an H.E. Harris worldwide album that was designed for beginner collectors. The first page of the album showed many 19th-century U.S. stamps, none of which I was able to find in packets, mixtures or family correspondence.
I really wanted at least one stamp on that first page, so I persuaded my mother to take me on the bus to a stamp dealer downtown where I purchased the 3¢ ultramarine Locomotive stamp (Scott 114) of the 1869 Pictorial set, shown in Figure 1.
The stamp is still my favorite U.S. stamp, and I still have it after all of these years and countless comings and goings of various collections. I remember how proud I was to hinge that stamp into its proper place in that first stamp album.
A few years ago I was thumbing through a friend's stamp album when my eyes landed upon a set of stamps I had never owned. They were 1926 Greek airmail stamps commemorating the Italy-Greece-Turkey-Rhodes service.
Figure 2 pictures the 2-lepton Flying Boat Off Phaeron Bay stamp (Scott C1), the 3-lepton Flying Boat Over Acropolis stamp (C2), the 5-lepton Flying Boat Over Map of Southern Europe stamp (C3) and the 10-lepton Flying Boat Seen Through Colonnade stamp (C4).
The stamps were printed by lithography, but they look like watercolor paintings. They took my breath away.
When I got home, I pulled out my stamp album, turned to the airmail section for Greece, and there were four empty spaces where these stamps should be. I checked eBay to see if any were for sale, but I didn't have any luck.
Thousands of new offerings are added to the various online sites every day, so if I was patient I am sure I could have found a set to bid on in just a few days.
But I couldn't wait to own these stamps, so I logged onto the APS StampStore, clicked a couple of buttons and two or three days later I was happily hinging this first Greek airmail set into my album.
I frequently find myself pulling out the album and looking at the stamps. They are not particularly valuable (theScott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue values the used set at $19 and the unused, hinged set at $20.20), but they are aesthetically pleasing and that is the reason I added them to my collection.
There is one major downfall to using printed stamp album pages instead of self-made pages or stock books to house a collection. Every collector will invariably accumulate stamps or stamplike items for which there are no spaces on a printed album page.
One of my favorite such items is the dark blue Players Navy Cut cigarette advertising stamp shown in Figure 3. It is a label.
The beautifully engraved design shows a bearded salt gazing manfully into the distance, flanked by a sailing ship on his left and a dreadnought on his right. The sailor vignette is framed by an old-fashioned doughnut-shaped life preserver.
The label was created around the turn of the 20th century by John Player & Sons, Ltd. of Nottingham, England, to advertise a brand of cigarettes it produced.
"Navy Cut" in the brand name refers to the way that 19th-century British tars would wind rolls of twine around tobacco leaves and allow them to cure under pressure, before slicing off the end and shredding the tobacco.
I guarantee you that you will not find a space for this wonderful stamp on any preprinted album page.
This is not really a problem, because most album manufacturers also make blank pages that match their printed album pages.
This allows collectors to mount whatever they want on the pages, write up the material presented there in their own way and insert the pages in the appropriate places within the binder.
You get the best of both worlds by doing this: a printed album that helps you organize and attractively display a stamp collection, and blank pages that give you the ability to personalize a collection with the addition of stamps, covers, labels, postal documents and other items of interest.
Thumbing through a well-organized album full of stamps is one of the most satisfying aspects of having a stamp collection. It is akin to visiting old friends.
Pleasant memories are attached to some of the stamps. They serve as reminders of a great stamp show you might have attended where you bought that Zanzibar set or the time you swapped a duplicate you did not need for the Hungarian airmail stamp you coveted.
You don't have to let your collecting be dictated or controlled by what is listed in the catalog or depicted on a printed album page.
Enjoy stamp collecting in whatever ways please you the most.

Bankers' bonuses – a reflection of market power?
The large bonuses received by bankers, often amounting to more than a million pounds, have been contentious for many years. With the banking crisis and subsequent recession, and with both public and government outrage at the size of the bonuses, many thought that the days of such bonuses were over. But such is not the case. "There has been public disquiet that leading banks – which have been seen as a major cause of the financial crisis – have been receiving taxpayer funds, but are not prepared to change their traditional culture of awarding big bonuses to key staff."
The following articles look at what has been happening to senior bankers' remuneration in recent months. But what are the market conditions that allow such rewards to continue? Are they a reflection of the marginal productivity of bankers or of their market power, or what?

Pay and politics The Economist (6/8/09)
Explain why many senior bankers have continued to receive huge bonuses. To what extent is oligopoly theory relevant to your explanation?
To what extent do the size of the bonuses reflect senior bankers' contributions to (a) the productivity and (b) the profits of their bank?
If bankers are to be paid bonuses, what is the best form for these bonuses to take? Consider the incentive effects in your answer.
Should bankers' bonuses be regulated and, if so, what criteria should regulators use for determining the acceptable size of bonuses?

Q: WebGL + Three.js - Applying Custom Texture to .Obj Model I've pasted all of my code. Basically, I can't figure out how to apply a custom texture to my object. I would like to apply something like this to my javascript code below, replacing the MeshLambertMaterial but I have no idea where to get started. I feel like it should be no more than a few lines of code. I basically need to replace the following:
var material = new THREE.MeshFaceMaterial(materials);
      var material2 = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({ color: 0x33ffcc });

      object.traverse( function(child) {
        if (child instanceof THREE.Mesh) {

          // apply custom material
          child.material = material2;
        }
      });

...with something more like this:
var texture = new THREE.Texture();

            var loader = new THREE.ImageLoader();
            loader.addEventListener( 'load', function ( event ) {

                texture.image = event.content;
                texture.needsUpdate = true;
                texture.magFilter = THREE.NearestFilter;
                texture.minFilter = THREE.NearestMipMapLinearFilter;

            } );

A holistic medical pioneer in ancient Greece nearly 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates prescribed that food be used as medicine since it was the most powerful healing agent against diseases. That philosophy is embraced by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, which recently launched a wellness series.
The Art & Science of Cuisine event (like Bill Nye the Science Guy experimenting in a new laboratory called the kitchen) took place Jan. 22 at the Institute with panelists reflecting a who's who in the culinary and research world. The goal was to whet palates, inspire mindful eating habits and enlighten guests on the human body's response to both nutrition-rich foods and toxic or empty calories. The event sold out.
Salivating in their seats, attendees anxiously awaited tastings from various stations, scrumptious and healthful goodies prepared by some of San Diego's most avant-garde chefs. These included Nathan Coulon, executive chef at True Food Kitchen (health guru Dr. Andrew Weil's-inspired Fashion Valley eatery), and Isabel Cruz, owner of Isabel's Cantina and two other San Diego restaurants.
Among the luminaries and their valuable presentations was Deborah Szekely, cofounder of the Golden Door spa and legendary Rancho La Puerta wellness center in Tecate (her appearance alone is testimony to a lifetime of healthful eating and exercise). A glabrous complexed nonagenarian powerhouse who does Pilates six times a week, Szekely talked about the importance of eating all things that are alive, fresh, seasonal and organic. Raised in Tahiti, her mother cultivated gardens of fruits and vegetables on abandoned fishing boats, and strictly adhered to the philosophies of Hippocrates.
Salk professor Dr. Ronald Evans, director of the Gene Expression Laboratory, distilled the theme of the event down to "eating whole, unprocessed foods that are healthfully prepared at home." This allows us to control saturated fats, salts and simple sugars, which contribute to "globesity" (worldwide obesity), for starters.
Evans explained that when we eat good foods it has the power to reprogram our geno, which in turn can ward off problems like chronic inflammation, particularly arthritis. While eating poorly can trigger genes to behave badly, which can cause diabetes, cancer, hypertension and heart disease.
Salk professor Geoffrey Wahl, also a member of the Gene Expression Laboratory, illuminated the difference between hunger and cravings. The former comes from the pit of your stomach, while the latter from the seed of your desires, based on past culinary experiences that gave you a sense of satisfaction and comfort.
Wahl mentioned a study, wherein 100 percent of women had cravings (sweets), while only 70 percent of men had cravings (savories). According to Wahl, this is the ideal opportunity for behavioral modification because the things we crave are bad for us, like sugars and fats. Since cravings come at times of stress or boredom, his solution was a simple one — exercise daily to tweak endorphin flow for reducing both stress and boredom.
Joy Houston, a certified raw food nutrition educator, suggested satiating sweet and savory cravings with healthy decoys. So if you crave potato chips, try kale chips instead.
Su-Mei Yu, owner of Saffron restaurant and host of the TV show, "Savor San Diego" on KPBS, said she believes food is important to feed not only our bodies, but our minds and spirits. When she cooks her daily meals, she first thinks of what's in season, and then considers how she feels, and finally, the weather.
As for the food part of the event, Coulon's food station offered a chopped Mediterranean salad of arugula, red quinoa and marcona almonds tossed in a grape seed, lemon and oregano dressing, which was based on Dr. Weil's anti-inflammatory diet.
Rancho La Puerta's executive chef Denise Roa plated up Nopal cactus tostadas with marinated tomatoes, white bean puree, kumquats and local goat feta, garnished with calendula flowers — all produce grown on the retreat's six-acre organic farm.
Cruz delighted palates with poke tuna tossed with brown rice, organic kale and orange chili oil. Saffron served a variety of shrimp, chicken and tofu rolls in rice paper with peanut and chili sauces.
For dessert, Michelle Lerach, owner of Cups in La Jolla, indulged guests with organic goodies ranging from lemon ricotta cupcakes and pineapple macaroons to spiced honey cookies and stuffed dates.
To wash it all down, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters provided farm-to-cup organic coffee selections.

We also build high-end clubhouses at resorts such as Ritz Carlton and golf courses. As with our retail work, we provide our hospitality/resort clients great flexibility, since we have the ability to travel the U.S. with multiple projects.
Product types that include beds and amenities have been significant markets. Since the 1980's we have been developing and perfecting our building process for these product types to ensure the highest quality possible. Multi-residential, senior living, and hospitality projects have included low, mid, and high-rise ground up structures of wood, block and plank, post tension, and metal frame. Additions and renovations in these markets have been significant. In some cases, they have been integrated with mixed use projects that included parking garages, offices, and retail/restaurants. Speaking of restaurants, we have exceled in the construction of restaurants for clients such as Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, P.F. Changs, Kona Grill, and more.
Closer to home In southwest Florida, we continue to enjoy building many project types such as banks, office buildings, funeral homes, auto dealerships. and churches, which gives us a well-rounded portfolio of work.

Anywhere SIM launches national roaming
Iain McLaren June 15, 2015
We've written a bit about not-spots and the various methods the networks and government are using to try and eliminate them; including here, here and here if you missed it. As you may have noticed, progress has been pretty slow to say the least… so Anywhere SIM have taken matters into their own hands.
The Anywhere SIM has 3 different offers; anywhere home, anywhere UK and anywhere EU. Anywhere EU allows calls and texts to be made on any EU network at 15p per min, 5p per SMS and 10 pence per MB of data. Anywhere UK lets users make and receive calls on all UK networks at 10 pence per minute and same costs for texts and data. Anywhere home allows calls, texts and data to be made just using the home O2 network but can receive calls on any network, costs are 5p per minute, 5p per SMS and 5p per MB of data.
Anywhere SIM runs as an MVNO based on the O2 network and due to roaming agreements the company has, the SIM will let you receive calls on any network. If you move into a not-spot whilst on a call, the call will still drop as it doesn't allow switching mid-calls – but you can call back if you have O2 signal or the other person can call you again as soon as phone automatically switches to a new network.
I'm pretty sure this is not what the big networks or the government had in mind to combat not-spots, but if you are really desperate to always have signal then this might be the answer. Similar solutions have been available to businesses for a while with the front runner being telecoms firm 24 Seven with a service called Jump.
Anywhere SIM will be available later this year in a pay as you format and there are plans for a pay monthly service as well. SIMs will be available from their own website, eBay and Amazon. Anywhere SIM's founder Matthew Wright explained the service's appeal:
"[It will appeal to] people who have experienced coverage issues, so, people who live in rural locations.
And those who travel a lot and experience notspots – for example people that spend a lot of time in caravans and those who pursue outdoor pursuits – cyclers, runners, walkers, anglers, there's a long list that could benefit outside the big conurbations."

Brzezinski/Nelson - AESOPS Silica data Methodology
Silicic acid concentrations ([Si(OH)4]) were measured by high-sensitivity manual colorimetric analysis, as described by Brzezinski and Nelson (1989). The analysis has a detection limit of 0.05 uM. Its precision is ±0.05 uM for concentrations <5 uM, and ±1% for concentrations = or >5 uM. Biogenic particulate silica concentrations (BSi) were measured by the alkaline digestion method of (Paasche, 1973), on material collected on 0.6 um polycarbonate membrane filters. Sample volume was usually 625 ml. Data were corrected for interference from lithogenic particulate silica as described by Brzezinski and Nelson (1989). The detection limit for biogenic silica in 625-ml samples by this method is 0.004 umol Si per liter and the precision is ±0.004 umol per liter or ±5%, whichever uncertainty is greater. Biogenic silica production rates ("Vb" and "rho") were measured in 24-hr incubation experiments using the radioisotope 32Si (Treguer et al., 1991). Sample volume was 300 ml. All samples were incubated on deck under natural sunlight at sea-surface temperature, which was maintained by continuous flow of surface seawater. Irradiance was matched to that at the depth from which each sample was collected, using combinations of blue and neutral-density photographic screening (e.g. Smith et al., 1996). Rate calculations were as described by Brzezinski and Phillips (1997). The references cited are as follows:

FrontFundr first in Canada to raise $650K equity capital through its own platform
FrontFundr Release | December 21, 2016
FrontFundr raises $650K on its own online funding and investment platform
December 21, 2016 (Vancouver, BC) – For the first time in Canadian history a business, FrontFundr, has self‐funded on its own equity crowdfunding platform. To great success, FrontFundr has exceeded its target raise by 130%, raising a total of $650K from 200 investors utilizing its own crowdfunding platform to facilitate the raise. These funds will take the company to the next level, allowing FrontFundr to build out its position as the leading online investment platform in Canada, and expand to the U.S..
In May 2015, FrontFundr introduced equity crowdfunding to Canada through the launch of the first online investment platform. The concept is simple. Instead of raising funds exclusively from the wealthy elite, per traditional startup fund raising, FrontFundr allows businesses to raise funds from anyone. Unlike traditional crowdfunding that involves a donation of money in exchange for a product or service (like Kickstarter), FrontFundr allows companies to raise real money in exchange for real ownership. This concept is similar to the popular show Dragon's Den, except the crowd can participate and become an owner in a business—not just high net worth individuals.
"We've been helping businesses across Canada raise funds from the public over the past eighteen months," says FrontFundr CEO Peter‐Paul Van Hoeken. "It's been a fun ride and we've loved sharing in these companies' successes. We decided it was our turn to walk our talk. We're a young company too in need of capital, so it made perfect sense to use our own platform and tap into our brand champions for our raise. We are overwhelmed by the success and the support and thrilled to have exceeded our target raise by $150K"

In addition to its own raise, FrontFundr has helped 9 other Canadian companies get funding from the crowd since its launch, ranging in amount from $50,000 to $2 Million. In addition to closing its own raise, this week FrontFundr's platform also saw the close of a raise for Montreal's Impak Finance—a new company that plans to build Canada's first socially responsible bank.
While the introduction of equity crowdfunding, the traditional investment models of yesterday are becoming completely revolutionized. By opening investment opportunities to the public, Canadians are able to access opportunities they were previously locked out of, and companies are able to access capital that was previously inaccessible. It's a win‐win, where people are now able to support and share in the potential success of companies they believe in in a meaningful way, and at the same time young companies are able to fund their businesses and continue their growth. In fact, FrontFundr has seen an uptake in the number of shares being purchased as gifts for others this holiday season. In 2017, FrontFundr expects to see continued exponential growth on its platform as more entrepreneurs become aware of the opportunity to access capital from the crowd.

I have a list but lets start with no more than one chainsaw ticket in your life.
and the biggie... the BSS lumpy water folk get away with it ok and it dosn't work, there are still accidents.
But - lumpy water folks generally have sufficient 'about them' not to need their hands held.
Your hands are cold wet and wrinkly - nobody would hold them.
Maybe not coal-fired stoves, but most lumpy-water boats will have a diesel fired heating system, a generator, a couple of engines and LPG cooking.
We are debating the proposed rule amendments prior to having an indicative vote.
The BSS is extremely recent, it was introduced the day before yesterday. I dont know if any figures have been produced yet trying to establish its worth or indeed prove its need? My first boat didnt have one nor did my second and neither killed me. Same with that other complete con brought over from some continent or other known as RCD compliance.
My first boat didnt have one nor did my second and neither killed me.
Ours has got one engine, one cooker,one water heater.
+1 for scrapping the BSS.
My own for the list: Either scrap MOT's on road vehicles entirely, or make them every 5 years. The vast majority of accidents are caused by bad driving rather than unroadworthy cars. Alongside this increase penalties for those who run unroadworthy cars. Give people responsibility for once, rather than taking it away from them.
Can I add speed cameras please. If I'm driving in a town that I don't know, a bit lost, full of bus lanes. congestion charge thingys, box junctions etc I can happily flatten pedestrians, scatter cyclists, and run over cats, dogs and hedgehogs 'cos the most important thing of all is that I don't miss a speed camera and get a ticket. Stupid things. If I had a grenade launcher in the car I'd blast the lot of them into oblivion. There. I feel better now.
You should move to France, you'd find hundreds of thousands of instant friends within the gilets jaunes.
This is weird. For the second time today I find myself in agreement with you. Perhaps if the peoples re education committee can re align your flawed views on brexit there is some hope.
Another: scrap the ridiculous law that you must buy a licence to fund the BBC, even if you never watch it. A regressive tax if there were ever one. If the BBC can't bring a 21st century funding system into play it should go the way of all other organisations that fail to keep up with the times.
The vast majority of accidents are caused by bad driving rather than unroadworthy cars.
Statistics please, and from a reputable source, not some bloke down the pub or your own febrile imaginings?
the most important thing of all is that I don't miss a speed camera and get a ticket.
Why would you get a ticket if you are observing the speed limit? The limits exist regardless of whether or not there's a yellow box on a pole.
It should be obvious but given that you ask, it's on page 2.
Let me help. Its not hard realy. It will be thirty miles an hour or on occasion twenty miles an hour. In a busy town its improbable that you will exceed the limit anyway. So now do you find it hard to remember those two speed limits?
Its not just 20s and 30s, there is a lot of the A6 that changes from 40 to 50 with no visible reason, driving what I consider to be a reasonable speed could catch you out.
While we are on about speed limits can we get rid of all these random 40 mph limits that have popped up all over the countryside, or at last stop adding to them. complete waste of money for cash strapped councils.
Is that not due, in part to the existence of the yearly mot. Scraping the mot could cause this figure to increase.
Is the not due in part to the existence of the yearly mot. Scraping the mot could cause this figure to increase.
It's possible. On the other hand, how many people are driving unroadworthy cars because they abrogate their responsibility to ensure their vehicle is safe to use on roads to the MOT test, which only checks this once a year.
This is true. when I was a kid there were thirty mph signs and not much else. There was no speed limit on dual carriageways and motorways or indeed anywhere were the De restricted sign was displayed, the same sign is of course now called the national speed limit sign. Over the past few years we suffer just about every number between 10 and twenty mph all within a few short miles.
Dunno.But suspect less than there would be with no mot requirement at all in place.
We have a car that requires no mot or tax,but as I am a responsible fellow, refuse to take it out on the road without one.
Mine is approaching that age. When it's 40 I'll make sure it's roadworthy before I use it, just like I do now, but I won't be getting an MOT.
Perhaps a solution might be to make knowledge of safety checking part of the driving test. This might lead to the cost of the test rising slightly, but surely better to have this one off hit rather than the annual cost and inconvenience caused by the MOT.
How will you do that? More to the point, how will you prove it is was road worthy prior to any accident you may be involved in.
At least now, you can say it was checked by a qualified tester at an approved mot centre, even if it was 364 days prior.
I spose if you took it to its logical conclusion, you would have the car /bike checked out prior to each journey.....but that would be silly.
I take it you haven't driven in Edinburgh recently where you seem to go from 20 mph limit to 30 mph limit and back to 20 every 100 yards.

You are welcome, Katie! Pretty tray!


If you live in Northern Iowa, you know that winter is having a hard time releasing its grip this year. We got 10 inches of new snow just a few days ago! Granted, most of it is already gone and the roads are cleared, but the fields are still covered in a blanket of white. Yesterday morning we received a true winter gift that only happens if the weather conditions are right–fog and freezing temperatures.
I'm talking about hoar frost. That thick, sparkly, fuzzy frost that clings to the trees, clothes lines, fences and grass blades transforming the landscape into a winter wonderland. It is especially noticeable as the sun breaks through the fog creating a beautiful contrast against the blue sky. The effect is truly amazing and awe inspiring.
The frost was most prominent in the garden, where the house hides the sun for a few extra hours–allowing the frost to grow thicker. I was able to capture a few photos to share with you. Granted, I am a warm weather person, but appreciate God's beauty in any weather. Experiencing this rare, delicate phenomenon makes me thankful we have the cold and winter weather for at least part of the year.
The thick frost reminds me of other fuzzy things, like lambs. With Easter approaching, many people celebrate with a leg or other cut of lamb. Lamb has a unique flavor, and special care must be taken when butchering and cooking it to ensure the best flavor. Our small herd of ewes will have their babies in late April to mid-May and we enjoy the many benefits they bring.
Not only are the baby lambs some of the cutest creatures on earth, sheep love to eat weeds. We have about 2 acres of pasture that the horses and sheep share. The horses eat the grass and the sheep eat everything else. With intentional and rotational grazing, we not only save on feed but we also save time and gas by not mowing and trimming that space all summer long. When the lambs are big enough, most of them are sold at the sale barn, some of them are sold privately for people to butcher themselves and we keep 1 or 2 of the smaller ones for our own freezer.
Our son and daughter used to show sheep at the county fair, and our son even showed at the Iowa State Fair. Spending time feeding, washing and caring for them taught our children responsibility. The animals depended on them for food, shelter and water. The kids also gained confidence working with the animals, teaching the lambs to trust them as they led them around the yard in preparation for the show ring. Lambs aren't always easy to work with. The experience helped our kids learn how to deal with frustrating circumstances. Developing working relationships with the animals taught the kids that they can overcome difficult challenges in other areas of life, too.
When the kids were showing lambs, we ate a lot of it–not necessarily knowing how to cook it to bring out the best flavor. We learned early on, that lamb cannot be cooked in its own fat drippings or it has the tendency to taste like wool. Placing the lamb on a rack or using a grill where the fat can drain away is key to prevent the wooly taste. This isn't quite so bad with lamb brats. The meat is generally mixed with pork because it is so lean. The herbs and spices that season the meat also help with the flavor.
Brats are a quick and easy go-to when we're crunched for time. We usually have them once a week when they are in the freezer. I made my Pea and Carrot Curry and fried up a few brats for supper in less than 30 minutes. Yes, I did have the brats and peas thawing in the refrigerator all day. Taking things out of the freezer in the morning saves a good 10 minutes later in the day when you're hungry and need something fast.
I like having quick, easy and good for me meals available on nights when I don't have time to make something else.
What is your favorite quick go-to meal?

> A high performance WebGL tile rendering library

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/lumo.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/lumo)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/unchartedsoftware/lumo.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/unchartedsoftware/lumo)
[![Dependency Status](https://david-dm.org/unchartedsoftware/lumo/status.svg)](https://david-dm.org/unchartedsoftware/lumo)

## Introduction

Lumo is a lightweight WebGL rendering library designed for highly scalable, customizable, and performant tile-based visualizations. Lumo is composed of simple and extensible interfaces for retrieving, managing, and viewing tile-based data.

While Lumo does provide some higher level data abstractions for WebGL, it assumes a degree of familiarity with the WebGL API and GLSL.

## Installation

```bash
npm install lumo
```

Lumo is written in ES6 and requires a 6.x+ distribution of [node](http://nodejs.org/). The `lumo.js` and `lumo.min.js` build files have been transpiled via [babeljs](https://babeljs.io/) using the [es2015 preset](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/preset-es2015/) and should be consumable by most modern browsers.

## Example

The following is a simple application that creates a single `lumo.Plot` and attaches two `lumo.TileLayer` objects. The first layer `base` retrieves [CARTO Basemap tiles](https://carto.com/location-data-services/basemaps/) and renders them using the `lumo.ImageTileRenderer`. The `points` layer generates random points of varying radius and renders them with the `lumo.PointTileRenderer`.

* [JSFiddle Example](https://jsfiddle.net/qzy6wusy/)

```javascript

import lumo from 'lumo';

// Plot

const plot = new lumo.Plot('#plot', {
	continuousZoom: true,
	inertia: true,
	wraparound: true,
	zoom: 3
});

// WebGL CARTO Image Layer

const base = new lumo.TileLayer({
	renderer: new lumo.ImageTileRenderer()
});

base.requestTile = (coord, done) => {
	const SUBDOMAINS = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' ];
	const s = SUBDOMAINS[(coord.x + coord.y + coord.z) % SUBDOMAINS.length];
	const url = `http:/${s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/dark_nolabels/${coord.xyz()}.png`;
	lumo.loadImage(url, done);
};

plot.add(base);

// WebGL Point Layer

const points = new lumo.TileLayer({
	renderer: new lumo.PointTileRenderer({
		color: [ 0.4, 1.0, 0.1, 0.8 ]
	})
});

points.requestTile = (coord, done) => {
	const NUM_POINTS = 256 * 32;
	const buffer = new Float32Array(3 * NUM_POINTS);
	for (let i=0; i<NUM_POINTS; i++) {
		buffer[i*3] = Math.random() * 256; // x
		buffer[i*3+1] = Math.random() * 256; // y
		buffer[i*3+2] = (Math.random() * 4) + 2; // radius
	}
	done(null, buffer);
};

plot.add(points);
```

##### For more usage examples please refer to the [lumo-example](https://github.com/unchartedsoftware/lumo-example) repository.

## Usage

### Plot

The central component tying all tile based visualizations together is a `lumo.Plot` which is instantiated by providing a selector string for the containing DOM element, along with an optional configuration object.

```javascript
const plot = new lumo.Plot('#plot', {
	continuousZoom: true,
	inertia: true,
	wraparound: true,
	zoom: 3
});
```

### TileLayer

A `lumo.TileLayer` represents a single source of tile data and is only responsible for retrieving and storing tile data in it's transmission format.

```javascript
const layer = new lumo.TileLayer();

layer.requestTile = (coord, done) => {
	done(null, {});
};

plot.add(layer)
```

### TileRenderer

A `lumo.TileRenderer` is attached to a `lumo.TileLayer` and is responsible for efficiently transforming and storing the data, tile by tile, on the GPU and subsequently rendering any available data to the plot.

```javascript
const renderer = new lumo.PointTileRenderer();
layer.setRenderer(renderer);
```

The base `lumo.TileRenderer` class provides a simple and unstructured class for rendering layer tile data. The `lumo.WebGLTileRenderer` class provides higher level abstractions for efficiently storing and accessing tile data on the GPU in vertex and texture formats.

Below is an example of a minimalistic vertex-based renderer implemented by extending the `lumo.WebGLTileRenderer` class:

```javascript
class SampleRenderer extends WebGLVertexRenderer {
	constructor(options = {}) {
		super(options);
		this.shader = null;
		this.atlas = null;
	}
	onAdd(layer) {
		super.onAdd(layer);
		// Instantiate the shader object providing the source for both the
		// vertex and fragment shaders.
		this.shader = this.createShader({
			vert:
				`
				precision highp float;
				attribute vec2 aPosition;
				uniform vec2 uTileOffset;
				uniform float uScale;
				uniform mat4 uProjectionMatrix;
				void main() {
					vec2 wPosition = (aPosition * uScale) + uTileOffset;
					gl_PointSize = 4.0;
					gl_Position = uProjectionMatrix * vec4(wPosition, 0.0, 1.0);
				}
				`,
			frag:
				`
				precision highp float;
				void main() {
					gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
				}
				`
		});
		// Create the vertex atlas to store the vertex data, in this case we
		// only have a single vertex attribute, the position.
		// This method registers handles to pipe the tile data and created
		// atlas to the `addTile` and `removeTile` methods.
		this.atlas = this.createVertexAtlas({
			attributePointers: {
				0: {
					size: 2,
					type: 'FLOAT'
				}
			}
		});
		return this;
	}
	onRemove(layer) {
		// Clean up the vertex atlas and remove `addTile` and `removeTile`
		// handlers.
		this.destroyVertexAtlas(this.atlas);
		this.atlas = null;
		this.shader = null;
		super.onRemove(layer);
		return this;
	}
	draw() {
		const shader = this.shader;
		const atlas = this.atlas;
		const proj = this.getOrthoMatrix();
		const renderables = this.getRenderables();
		// use shader
		shader.use();
		// set projection
		shader.setUniform('uProjectionMatrix', proj);
		// binds the vertex atlas
		atlas.bind();
		// for each renderable tile
		renderables.forEach(renderable => {
			// set tile uniforms
			shader.setUniform('uScale', renderable.scale);
			shader.setUniform('uTileOffset', renderable.tileOffset);
			// draw the points
			atlas.draw(renderable.hash, 'POINTS');
		});
		// unbind the vertex atlas
		atlas.unbind();
		return this;
	}
}
```

### Overlay

An overlay represents a single source of data. The data is not tiled and is added and removed in a global sense. Overlays are typically used when a small amount of client-side static data needs to be displayed.

```javascript
const overlay = new lumo.PolylineOverlay();

overlay.addPolyline('line-id', [
	{ x: 0.2, y: 0.2 },
	{ x: 0.8, y: 0.8 },
	{ x: 0.2, y: 0.8 },
	{ x: 0.8, y: 0.2 },
	{ x: 0.2, y: 0.2 }
]);

plot.add(overlay)
```

### OverlayRenderer

A `lumo.OverlayRenderer` is attached to a `lumo.Overlay` and is responsible for spatially partitioning the data and efficiently rendering any available data to the plot.

```javascript
const renderer = new lumo.PolylineOverlayRenderer();
overlay.setRenderer(renderer);
```

### Coordinates

There are three coordinate systems used by Lumo. Tile coordinates, plot coordinates and viewport coordinates. All coordinates have the origin [0, 0] as the bottom-left.

- **Tile Coordinates** have three components and follow the TMS specification in the format of {z, x, y}. Each zoom level increases the number of tiles in each dimension by a power of two. These coordinates are used to request and store tiles.

- **Tile Pixel Coordinates** have two components and are the pixel coordinates relative to the bottom-left corner of the respective tile. These coordinates are used to render the tile data.

- **Plot Coordinates** have two components, [0, 0] at the bottom-left corner of the plot, and [1, 1] at the top-right.

### Events

All `lumo.Plot`, `lumo.Layer`, and `lumo.Renderer` classes extend the `EventEmitter` class and are capable of emitting events.

The following events are emitted by Lumo:
