Publishing Leader Rallies Industry to Help Shape Common-Core Market
By Catherine Gewertz — June 03, 2014 2 min read
The turmoil and uncertainty surrounding common-core implementation represents an unprecedented opportunity for the education publishing industry to shape teaching and assessment, an industry leader said in opening an annual meeting of those who design curricular materials for K-12 schools.
Tom Allen, the president and CEO of the Association of American Publishers, listed a plethora of market and policy dynamics that have converged to create both confusion and possibility.
While some voices "clamor" for all-digital schools, emerging research has cast doubt on the efficacy of using electronic learning materials, Allen said. Nearly every state adopted the Common Core State Standards, and publishers were urged to design materials that reflect the new standards, and then bills started popping up in legislatures to delay or halt their implementation, he said. (With a few notable exceptions, those bills have not made it past both houses of their states' legislature.)
Allen said that the country's increasing distress about its lackluster performance on international tests was one of the forces that led to the creation of new exams for the common core. Those tests, however, have sparked a renewed outcry from parents and others about over-testing children in schools, he added.
"Personalized learning becomes the brass ring" in designing instructional materials, but sparks public skepticism because the collection of data for educational purposes becomes "confused" with the collection of data for commercial purposes, he said.
Many new players are flooding the instructional-materials marketplace, and classroom teachers are positioned to have a powerful influence because more and more, they are assembling their own materials and using old-fashioned textbooks as just one of many resources, Allen said. As the industry grapples with all those dynamics, he said it also must contend with the widespread expectation that resources will be free, "which is not what we do."
Given all those shifting sands, Allen said, "the state of our industry is opportunity."
"As confused as we are about the state of standards, so are teachers, parents, and lawmakers," he said. That translates into opportunity to engage them in dialogue about standards alignment and show them that "no matter what the standards, we understand how to make materials that help students learn," Allen said.
Publishers have an important chance to "join the discussion on meaningful assessment and show the difference between learning necessary skills and teaching to the test." They can take an active role in discussing with schools and parents the value of using data to track achievement, he said.
The publishing industry "can be a voice in legislatures," advocating for funding that allows states and districts to buy what they need, said Allen, a former U.S. Congressman from Maine, and for copyright laws that reflect the growth of digital media.
Allen was calling on his colleagues to be a force for good, supporting teaching and learning with new and improved products. But his comments land amid increasing criticism that the publishing industry has largely failed to create new materials that reflect the complexity and demands of the common-core standards. The industry is also under strident attack from activists who oppose what they see as an overemphasis on teaching to high-stakes tests.
Those camps, too, see this as a time of opportunity, but opportunity of a very different kind.

Professional Development What Do Principals Want From Professional Development?
Denisa R. Superville, November 19, 2020


Recently, Sebastiaan managed to port the OpenSesame experiment builder to the Android operating system. Since then, I've spent some time working on adapting OpenSesame so that it can be used to create and package experiments that participants can download from the Google Play Store like any other app. When the participant has finished an experiment on his/her tablet or phone, the data are automatically sent back to the experimenter over the internet.
So far, I have designed and uploaded a simple reaction time experiment to test this idea, which I would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to download and try.
The app consists of a few questions about the phone you are using, a prototype of a new on-screen keyboard feature, and 32 trials of a basic reaction time task. If, for whatever reason, the app doesn't work as expected on your phone or tablet, please leave a comment below or on the forum.
The spread of smartphones over the last few years has been phenomenal, and for the first time a huge proportion of the young adult population (who psychologists have traditionally relied upon as subjects anyway) carry powerful computers with touchscreen interfaces with them wherever they go.
Smartphones also offer a number of features not seen in the average lab computer, including an accelerometer, one or more cameras, vibration feedback, and in the future even eye-tracking technology. The potential of smartphones to revolutionise behavioural research is discussed in this review, this research paper, and this particularly thorough talk.
The end goal of this project is to incorporate the code used in the test app into OpenSesame's graphical experiment building enviroment, so that researchers, with little or no prior programming experience, can design, package, distribute their experiments to, and collect data from, this huge population of participants.
The most important thing that the project needs at the moment is your help! We need Android users who take two minutes to test the app on their phones and tablets. For now, we want to know which phones can and can't run the software, and so the test app has been kept simple. In the future, more advanced features will be introduced (sliding scales, tap-and-drag icons, accelerometer support, etc).
Python programmers to develop Android and touchscreen functionality of OpenSesame itself.
Someone with a little artistic flair to help with visual aspects of the software.
Anyone willing to polish the rudimentary HTML/PHP/SQL used to send and store the data.
I will be uploading the source code for the project so far in the next few weeks. In the mean time, if you would like to contribute, please leave a comment below, or post on the forum.
Finally, the project really can't move forward without more testers. If any readers are willing to promote the test app on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and the rest, I'd be very grateful indeed. I've also set up (but not yet found time to add much to) a Facebook page to keep people up to date and to announce updates of the test app. Also, you can send an e-mail to smartphonepsychology@gmail.com to sign up for a newsletter.


LE trade in Hornady TAP 308 Win (80965) 168 Grain A-MAX. Priced at $17.99 per box of 20. Shipping is $8.95 to the lower 48. Limited supply.
I wish they had the deal on 150/155 gr ammo. My PTR91 does not shoot the 168gr stuff as accurately.
Will you ship to an FFL in NY?

Someone how my first post didn't go through so hopefully this time it does and with some added modifications.
This is XPLives. I'm a one of the few users who uses XP on modern computer systems. I have successfully gotten XP installed onto SkyLake and Kaby Lake systems. I also have Coffee Lake and AMD AM4 systems that I will be confirming any success on installing XP on both platforms hopefully within the next few months when I get the extra time to troubleshoot it but I have NO reason to believe for now that Coffee Lake won't work using my guide for SkyLake and Kaby Lake.
Some may have seen my XP installation guide on the Win-Raid site what hardware components you will need to build a modern system with XP on it since some of the hardware is incompatible with XP thanks to Intel.
I've been extensively testing Advanced Chrome for XP to see how well it adapts to large amounts of memory via a Ramdrive.
As of late the maximum memory consumption for all my Advanced Chrome tabs/windows is 20.0GB well beyond the 3.2GB limit.
I want to improve Advanced Chrome with the admin if it is possible.
When going to the Task Manager I noticed all the Advanced Chrome processes are isolated and labeled "chrome.exe". So I'll have roughly 30 processes labeled as "chrome.exe".
When viewing how these processes are shown on the Quick Launch task bar each Chrome process is abbreviated by an Advanced Chrome Logo and a single character of the title of the tab that was last used in that process. This doesn't help me determine which "chrome.exe" process I want to end.
Two things I'd like to know if the Admin can modify to improve the interface.
I would like to see them labeled chrome.exe, chrome2.exe, chrome3.exe .... chrome 100.exe for each new consecutive process (New Tab/New Window) You get the picture.
The reason is it's hard to track down which process if it is currently lagging and can be pinpointed and ended in the Task Manager. Since Advanced Chrome separates the processes there is less chance of an error causing a cascade crash of the entire browser's full of new tabs and or new windows.
This is the "advantage" of Advanced Chrome versus FireFox which will crash the entire browser when certain things like memory constraints cap it around 1.5GB in some cases or a buggy website takes everything down or slows to a crawl forcing you to end the entire Firefox process to restart again. I've even left maybe a dozen tabs open on FireFox with just 1.0GB of RAM used and hours later when I come back the CPU is at 25% and rather frozen/sluggish requiring me to end the task and restart it. Advanced Chrome will not have this same issue if you close down an individual process that is lagging.
#2) This is connected to #1. In the Quick Launch Taskbar Windows should instead show the Advanced Chrome Icon with the number to right of the process.
For example "Advanced Chrome Icon 2", "Advanced Chrome Icon 3", "Advanced Chrome Icon 4", "Advanced Chrome Icon 5" ... "Advanced Chrome Icon 100" for every New Window opened. A Window can contain multiple tabs so closing down one of these processes will shut down a group of tabs in that New Window.
If a user made A New Window and only had one site in it then it would only shut down that one Windows with one tab inside.
When viewing this on the taskbar one can use this number to the right of the Advanced Chrome icon can be used to pinpoint which process is behaving badly and end the task in Task Manager taking the guess work out of randomly choosing a "Chrome.exe" to end which may be the incorrect process.
Let me know admin if my explanation of what I'm asking for doesn't make any sense.
I'm currently using the last XP Chrome version you released in 2017 so if you can create a secondary beta update for me to test such modifications before updating the newer versions with the same code.
I'm also interested in knowing what exactly you are doing to create this XP fork and if it is also possible for you to do the same thing to FireFox by separating each New Window into its own process rather than consolidated which causes the whole thing to crash or get unstable.
Thanks in advance for working on and maintaining this Advanced Chrome project despite heavy resistance from MicroSoft and Intel to kill anything XP related this is just a little beacon of hope. I wasn't a huge fan of Google Chrome originally since they didn't have stand alone full installations like FireFox (usually required an internet connection to install) until I started using your Advanced Chrome and seeing how well it adapts to > 3GB of Ram usage without crashing like FireFox making Advanced Chrome truly the XP savior for the internet of the future.
The only way to get webpage cpu status is with chrome integrated task manager, press shift+ESC or more tools > task manager.
Actually the process manager integrated into chromium is very good, you can add more columns to check even GPU usage, CPU time, memory footprint..etc just right click over the row where the column header is shown and add more columns.
Actually changing chrome.exe to label all process with chrome1.exe, chrome2.exe is not possible because they are childs of chrome.exe, thats is also the nature of the sandboxing developed into chromium, thats why they added a task manager to monitor each process.
You can have some fun if you install "Process Manager" by sysinternals and compare the info of each process reported internally at chrome, both tools will give you a lot of information about what is going on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We're getting started with a bang and addressing one of Mike's blank spots as we take a wander through the winter wonderland that is, Frozen (turns out Mike really doesn't like Disney musicals). Grab a reindeer and ride along as we discover just how much Mike doesn't like Disney musicals, how much Rob doesn't know about Disney Princes (which he's totally happy with) and all your usual favorite elements.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, except Mike & Rob who, wine bottle in hand, come crashing down the chimney and leave sooty footprints all over the place in their search for the origins of Father Christmas. From the origins of St Nick, through the dark ages of Slavic and Nordic tradition, one thing's for damn sure... you'll never look at Santa the same way again! Not suitable for children, or adults of a nervous disposition.

The Star Wars Holiday Special
Beginning a long career of cashing in on his own franchise, George Lucas alleges he had nothing to do with this 1978, made for TV, musical bonanza. We call BS as this is clearly the work of some kind of twisted genius with a penchant for variety TV. Featuring songs by Diahann Carroll, Jefferson Starship, Bea Arthur, and event Carrie Fisher which just goes to show you really can buy anybody, it's so utterly terrible that it took us two attempts to record it! So gather round and let's enjoy the age-old tale of Wookies, life day and the importance of family... who will likely thank you to not ever show them this Intro Music: Light the Sky on Fire, Jefferson Starship ℗© 1998 Jefferson Starship, Inc., under exclusive license to Rhino Entertainment Company, a Warner Music Group Company. Outro Music: It's a surprise :)
It's more interesting than it sounds ... honest! Mike & Rob look back at the history of antitrust action in the US and how it can apply to today's big tech companies... see told you it was interesting! Of course, we do so with quite a bit of childish innuendo, a range of slightly adult themes and be sure to stay tuned for the very special "bloopers" 🧀 Intro Music: Competition, Brother Culture ℗© Evidence Music Outro Music: Babybel Advert (1992), Various © Babybel
It finally happened - we did a Tarrantino movie. Specifically, The Hateful Eight from 2015. Mercifully, MIke manages to avoid going full film nerd and, instead, explores the nuance of one of the world's greatest directors in traditional puerile fashion. Rob gets confused by the movie and, it's very loud throughout. Enjoy!

The Life of Jim Henson
Sorry We're (Drunk) and Late! It'll be worth the wait as this month we delve into the the genius of Jim Henson! Rob takes Mike through the life of the master puppeteer, writer and Director; Mike totally gets more than 50% on a quiz about Muppets, and things get downright emotional talking about childhood! Oh, and bad accents and dick jokes. Enjoy! Intro Music: The Muppet Show Theme ℗ 2011 Walt Disney Records, Inc © 2011 Disney Outro Music: The Fraggle Rock Theme ℗© 2016 The Jim Henson Company
1982, or a thousand years ago whichever you prefer, Rob has dragged Mike back into one of his childhood favourites in this month's movie segment, as they explore the muppet filled planet of Thra in The Dark Crystal. Featuring a solid critique of a modern classic, a rock hard lambasting of the sequel, and an iron-clad agreement that the soundtrack is utter pants, we invite you to join us as we attempt to find smut in a beloved children's classic ... and succeed! Intro Music: The Dark Crystal Overture, Trevor Jones ℗© 2017 The Jim Henson Company Outro Music: Skeksis Back, The Great Luke Ski © 2011 FIDIM Interactive, LLC
Fresh from escaping Jurassic Park, Rob leads Mike into an arguably more dangerous place - the land of chaos! We talk attractors (strange ones), unpredictability, and the amazing fact that the butterfly effect should be called ... oh no, wait, that would spoil it. Bear in mind that we don't really know anything about the topic in hand so this episode gets rather silly rather quickly - enjoy! Intro Music: Butterfly, Crazy Town ℗ 1999 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT Outro Music: Rock You Like a Hurricane, Scorpians ℗ 2011 Sony Music Entertainment Germany GmbH
We're heading back to the DAWN OF TIME in this month's movie episode as we explore the lost world of dinosaurs, DNA and dumb computer security slobs in Jurassic Park. Ever wondered what it takes to wring out a T-Rex like a damp dishrag? Or just how many millions of dollars they spent on oiling up Jeff Golfblum's chest? Well wonder no more as we've done all the digging for you so sit back, relax, and remember, "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" Intro Music: Theme From Jurassic Park, John Williams ℗© 1993 Geffen Records Outro Music: Walk The Dinosaur, Was (Not Was) ℗ 2003 Universal International Music B.V. © 2003 Universal International Music B.V.
It's time for truly the deepest of dives as we talk submarines! We talk the history from the first submersible to the latest models, the technology behind them and make an awful lot of going down jokes! Be amazed at Mike's performance in this months quiz where he definitely gets more than 50%, and have your mind blown by this months amazing fact!

The year is 1990, the year is meant to be sometime in the 80s... we're not sure of the specifics but it's time for things to hot up during the Cold War as we dive into the depths of John McTiernan's adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel. With the usual bits, a quiz featuring the worst impression of Sean Connery you've heard recently, and more trivia than your average family board game night, it's a ripping ride through a modern classic. Intro Music: Hymn To Red October (Main Title), Basil Poledouris ℗© 1990 Geffen Records Outro Music: Yellow Submarine, Pickin' On Series © 2006 CMH Records
In this month's deep dive, we're heading over the event horizon of one of the weirdest celestial phenomena known to humankind, the BlackHole. From the early theoretical roots to the first ever photo of an actual black hole, we manage to make it through nearly an hour of deep scientific debate without making too many "hole" jokes and without losing Mike! Intro Music: Black Hole Sun, Sound Garden ℗© 2014 A&M Records Outro Music: Supermassive Black Hole, Muse ℗© 2006 A&E Records Limited
This month on We're Drunk & We Know Things, we're reaching for the stars as we blast off and float through the epic wonder that is, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. From concept through to delivery, with a load of science and some of the most well-funded corn ever we hope you can join us as we wriggle down the wormhole of mega sci-fi and make an inordinate amount of black hole puns. Intro music: Afraid of Time, Hans Zimmer ℗ 2014 WaterTower Music Outro Music: Go!, Public Service Broadcasting ℗© Test Card Recordings
Cel Animation
Off the back of our first animated film episode, we're taking the deep dive into the world of cel animation! Mike & Rob roll up their sleeves, grab some cellulose and try not to blow themselves up as they explore the history, techniques and key players in the world of hand drawn animation. From the zoetrope to modern CGI cel shading with a healthy dose of Disney (obvs), we hope you'll join us on our 24fps adventure.

In a first for us, we're covering an animated feature. And no it's not Disney, it's so much better! Mike & Rob enter the world of the spirits and take a bath with a radish in Studio Ghibli's 2001 masterpiece, Spirited Away. With a deep dive into Shinto region, a possibly slightly racist quiz and of course One Star Reviews it's a hand drawn wonder... oh and the dick jokes are mostly at the end. Intro music: Reprise, Joe Hisaishi ℗© 2002 Outro music: Turning Japanese, The Vapors ℗© 1996 RT Industries

Outro music: I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle (from Terminator 2), Austrian Death Machine © 2009 Metal Blade Records, Inc. Please drink responsibly
Z is for Zip
It's not how big it is ... er yeah. So rounding out the alphabet and we're talking Zip files and other compression algos in this month's rather technical tech segment. Including a brief history, an almost certainly incorrect break down of how compression works and a lot of trolls (of the patent variety) it's a nice enough way to end the season. And let's face it, it's the only tech thing beginning with Z of any note.
Z is for Zodiac
Late 1960's San Francisco and there's a serial killer on the loose! That's right, we've decided to end on a rather dark note as we slide into the obsession filled, decade spanning epic that is, David Fincher's Zodiac. Of course it's based on a true story but this doesn't stop Mike & Rob bringing their own version of inanity and slight degrees of fanboism to this sprawling review of all 157 minutes of this modern classic.
Y is for social networks of YesterYear
Tenuous? Yes but this was easily the best of a bad bunch. And if you have ever wondered what happened to the guy who founded MySpace, wether Bebo is still a thing or why it is that Facebook is just so damn popular then this is the episode for you. From the early 90s through to the upcoming wave of anti-social networks Rob and Mike skip merrily through a land of tribalism, hate speech, fake news and cat gifs ... so, you know, the internet.
Y is for Young Frankenstein
Set & shot in the 70s, looks and sounds like the 30s and reviewed by two guys in the 2010s it's time to finally explore the wacky mind of Mel Brooks and his take on classic horror with Young Frankenstein. Wilder, Feldman, Kahn, a galaxy of stars in a beautiful homage to classic cinema .... so of course we make it all about dicks and general smuttery.
X is for Bitcoin
Tis the season to be jolly. Jolly confused about Crypto Currency that is. In this month's tech segment, recorded live in front of an actual audience at Pizza Projekt in Jersey, Rob attempts to explain the complexities of Bitcoin et al to a surprisingly responsive Mike! From the early days through to the peak at the end of 2017 and with plenty of hash gags, it's a Christmas Crypto Miracle!
X is for Die Hard
X stands for anything right? Well in this month's Xmas episode, the WDAWKT team decided to take a look at the perennial classic Die Hard. Recorded live in front of an actual audience at Pizza Projekt in Jersey, Mike & Rob review John Mclane's first outing, determine whether it's a Christmas film or not, have one star reviews read out by real guests and even find time for a little game of guess the sound track!
W is for World Wide Web
Every wondered where the web came from? Well wonder no more, we tell you in this months WWWDAWKT. Featuring the history of hypertext, some familiar faces and surprisingly little porn it's Dirty Bird o clock as we surf the web like you wouldn't believe.
W is for Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Noir meets Looney Tunes in this month's movie of choice with Disney's 1988 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Mike & Rob review this perfect blend of animation and live action, determine if Jessica Rabbit really is all that and deliver ALL the one star reviews.
V is for VR
We're getting real in this month's tech segment. Well, virtually real, with a smattering of augmentation and just a touch of mediation. From the beginnings of it all with the Sensorama™ through the wheezy, queasy 90s and up to modern day VR unicorns. Plus we actually get Mike to take a VR headset for a spin … in a pub … at night … yeah!
V is for V for Vendetta
Ooh there's trouble brewing in dystopian, facist London! And there's trouble brewing between Rob & Mike! This month we're donning our Guy Fawkes masks and remember remembering the joy that is 2005's V for Vendetta. Spoiler alert, Mike doesn't like it cos it's based on a comic book that changed his life or some such.
U is for UI UX
So UI is the bit you touch, UX is how it makes you feel... yeah this one gets dirty in a real hurry. We do the usual wander back through the history of human / computer interaction, consider the various challenges faced by UI designers in the modern world, and get a bit star struck by the team at Xerox PARC before descending into the expected level of paranoia and fear when Mike tries to work out if he really wants to drive his computer with his mind.
U is for the Untouchables
"Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way." There's a degree of irony in a podcast that focuses on inebriation reviewing a film set in the prohibition but that's exactly what we've got in this months movie segment. Brian De Palma's 1987 tour through 30's Chicago during the height of Capone's power means we're getting down and dirty with the Untouchables. Featuring everything you'd expect, 1 star reviews, a load of gushing over the amazing soundtrack and massive amounts of scorn poured onto Sean Connery's terrible Irish accent, why not pop into your local speakeasy, pour yourself a couple of fingers of whiskey and enjoy.
T is for TCP/IP
Kid, have you ever wondered how the internet works? Well it's all down to these things called packets. Follow Rob & Mike on a magical, albeit synful journey through the protocols that make the net work.
T is for Twister
It sucked ... so anyway. this month in WDAWKT we're breezing through another 90's classic. Featuring Bills, Dustys, bits of Dusty, cows, fields, cars and, of course, tornadoes. This month on WDAKT, it's Twister!
S is for Search Engines
Engines that Search. We cover the early days of directories, the emergent search engine market and the rise of the mighty Google before donning our tin foil hats and diving headfirst into a world of paranoia and fear. It's geeky, it's techy and it has an actual segment related to Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA FBCS so the only question you have to ask yourself is ... are you "Feeling Lucky"?
S is for Super Mario Brothers
Proof positive that the democratic process should NOT be applied to pod-casts, we find ourselves digging around in the bargain bin of the last remaining physical media store in the country to locate a copy of Super Mario Brothers... and I can't say that we massively enjoy the experience. But there's loads of juicy behind the scenes factoids, some very sensible analysis of why it went wrong and a questionable reference to Mario's sexual preferences. Plus if you absolutely want to know how not to make a video game spin off then this is the episode for you!
R is for Radio
Don't know your WiFi from your WiMax? Bluetooth leave you feeling disconnected? It's ok, cos this month Rob tries very hard to explain modern data radio to Mike, and very nearly succeeds! From Marconi through to modern day, come along for a whirlwind tour of frequencies, bands, cells and packets as we do our best to explain the "giant cloud of data in the air" ... yeah.
R is for Robocop
The year is 2043, Detroit is a sh*t hole (nothing changes) and MCP are looking for "volunteers" for their new cyborg program, code name RoboCop! It's a classic, it's Verhoeven, it's violent, grim and above all it's the 80s. Mike & Rob take an armoured car through Old Detroit and explore everything the franchise has to offer. You have to listen to this episode. After all, dead or alive, you're coming with us!
Q is for Quantum Computing
So it turns out that Quantum Physics is a pretty damn complex & confusing topic. Which may explain why, in this month's tech episode, we spend a lot of time talking about anything but the given topic - Quantum computing. If you're happy that we probably get most of this completely wrong then tune in for particle porn positions, 30's physicists who got some, and a pretty filthy spin on a classic computer science problem - i.e. what if that traveling salesman was selling d*ck pics?
Q is for the Quest
We never learn. With 2 perfectly decent films on the ballot and one "no hoper" we should have realised that you would pick the Quest, a 90's Van Damme action & thrill filled slop bucket of nonsense. In this month's, mercifully short, movie episode, we dissect Van Damme's directorial debut, peeling back the layers to see what, if anything, lies under the surface. It has it all, kicks, punches, head-butts, kilts, sumo wrestlers, Mongolians and a back story that's so reminiscent of another movie, Rob can't remember which is which!
P is for Piracy
You wouldn't steal a podcast? Well know because we give it away for free but there's plenty of nefarious types out there who dedicate their lives to cracking and pirating software. In this month's tech segment, we explore the murky world of piracy, from Warez, floppy swapping through to the Pirate Bay and modern day distribution as well as the very serious discussion on ethics ... and dick jokes.
P is for the Princess Bride
We found it inconceivable that Mike hadn't ever seen this film so took the convenient opportunity to rectify that glaring omission. This episode has it all, Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles. and a guest spot by a guy called Sergio. Don't listen for the story, you know it, listen for the wonderful trivia and, most importantly to find out if Mike actually liked this most beloved of cult classics.
O is for Oceans Eleven
"The 14000 block of Las Vegas Boulevard. Otherwise known as the Bellagio, the Mirage, the M.G.M. Grand. Together, they're the three most profitable casinos in Las Vegas... And we're going to rob it." That's right, we back for O and that means we're running the long con and discussing Ocean's Eleven (the 2001 edition). Join us as we pull of a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever! Oh and we discover an amazing fact about Andy Garcia, Mike's deep loathing for Julia Roberts (which can only be hiding his even deeper obsession), and everything you've come to expect from a classic WDAWKT film segment.
O is for Onion Routing
It's official, Mike & Rob really know their onions! Or they should after this month's tech segment which is all about Onion Routing (aka TOR) and the dark web. Containing considerably less paranoia than you'd expect (possibly because we've become desensitised over the last 14 months) we explore the history of this project, privacy concerns, the Silk Road, social impact and the unbelievable discovery that Mike has never seen The Princess Bride!
N is for Nintendo
In this month's tech segment we have it all: Monkey's, Mushrooms, Motor racing, russian mathematicians and prostitution. It's an epic odyssey across, land, sea & even into outer space. And, since as we all know, it's dangerous to go alone, Mike is accompanying me on this mystic quest through the history, immense output and legacy of Japan's third largest company - Nintendo
N is for Naked Gun
It's a classic comedy but is there more to 1988's Naked Gun than just puns and slapstick? Mike & Rob hit the mean streets in search of some answers and along the way find some one star reviews par excellence, some sequels that are just sub par and come to an agreement on just where this Zucker brothers films sits in the general scale of things.
M is for Magnetic Storage Media
Let's get it out of the way, there are a lot of "floppy" jokes in this episode. But then there's also a lot of stuff on just how computers store data, from the drum to the modern drive. Mike gets quizzed on a range of real of fake storage terms in Disk or D*ck and Rob tries valiantly not to lose it completely when discussing micro floppies (he fails).
M is for the Matrix
Red Pill anyone? In the first episode of 2018 Mike & Rob take a drunken stumble down the rabbit hole and explore the dark, dystopian alternate reality that is the Matrix. With a whole new "thing" we're starting for this year, fear not, the usual level of ribald silliness and your favourite segments are still there. So what are you waiting for? Give it a listen - we guarantee its more interesting and entertaining than both of the matrix sequels combined!
L is for Linux
Containing exactly no Star Wars spoilers, this month Mike gets to grips with the world of open source and learns all about Linux! From the origins of Unix, through to the modern distro and with a series of titillating jokes about "packages" it surprising how much we cover in a little under an hour.
L is for Last Jedi
Warning - this podcast contains major spoilers! We've covered classics old & new but this month is the first time we've talked about a movie that's still in the cinema. Mike & Rob become one with the force and explore a galaxy far far away as they examine the latest in the Star Wars series - The Last Jedi!
K is for Keyboards
In another classic case of "it's more interesting than it sounds ... honest" Mike and Rob crack their knuckles and hunt peck their way through a surprisingly detailed look at the world of keyboards. From the humble typewriter, to the modern day of mind reading data entry (with a surprising number of w*nking jokes) join us as we literally run down A - Z of computer data entry.
K is for Karate Kid
Wax on, wax off! After a shocker of a poll, Mike & Rob suit up and head to the dojo (pub) to discuss the seminal, martial arts coming of age movie Karate Kid. With the usual plot dissection, some superb karatriva and one star reviews from Donald Trump, it only remains to be seen if Mike will sweep the leg and if Rob will ever work out how to get all this wax off!
J is for James Bond - Part 2
We couldn't not do James Bond when we got to J but perhaps we could have not done it in a cocktail bar. A double feature this month as Mike and Rob don black tie, shake up a martini and stare down the barrel of 24 films! Split over two halves with three bonds per half, we include Amazon 1 Star reviews and, in place of the dedicated tech segment, a review of each Bond's gadgets. In the first half, we covered Connery, Lazenby, and Moore. In this the second, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig. All the while sipping martini's, vespas and pretty much anything else JB is purported to have drunk. It's long, it gets messy, but it's pretty damn funny!

All the while sipping martini's, vespas and pretty much anything else JB is purported to have drunk. It's long, it gets messy, but it's pretty damn funny!
I is for Indiana Jones
I was always going to be an Indy movie. Trouble is, all three* are so good we simply couldn't choose between them! So we didn't and instead introduce a near feature length, extended episode in which Mike dons his fedora, Rob grabs his bullwhip (not a euphemism) and they set off across the globe in search of fortune and glory ... and beer. * Yes there are technically four movies but Rob refuses to acknowledge Crystal Skull as anything other than a bad dream. We've tried talking to him about it but he refuses, muttering something about "the sanctity of original trilogies" and "f#cking George Lucas"
I is for Internet of Things
"On the Internet of Things, no one knows you're a fridge!" - Unknown Continuing our mission to complete the WDAWKT tech buzzword bingo card, this month Rob leads Mike down the sensor laden path into the world of the Internet of Things! Smart Cars, Smart Watches, Smart Phones, the only things that aren't smart in this episode are the hosts.
H is for Hacking
Firstly, this is a long episode - sorry about that but we couldn't possibly fit the entire topic of Hacking in to anything under an hour. Join Mike & Rob as they explore the murky underworld of computer security through the history of phreaking, hacking and modern cyber warfare. Reviewing some notable hacks in recent years and casting a thought to what could possibly be next. Will Mike put on his white hat? Or will the dark side prove too tempting? You'll have to listen to find out!
H is for Hackers
As requested by our producer, we couldn't not cover Hackers when we got to the H episodes. Beloved by many (including all of the WDAWKT team) this piece of pure 90's nonsense proves itself to be a bit better than Mike thought it was going to be... high praise indeed! Of course there are some who don't like it - 1* Reviews has them covered but for the rest we'd suggest you grab your pager, strap on your 'blades, and prepare to HACK THE PLANET!
G is for Ghostbusters
"We ain't afraid of no ghosts!" A movie that requires no introduction and didn't really need a podcast, this month, Mike and Rob try to avoid things that go bump in the night and take a tour round New York with the Ghostbusters! Expect the usual sillyness, 1 Star reviews and a mass of misty nostalgia.
G is for GPS
Geo all the things! It's about time the tech segment escaped our humble atmosphere and made it to outerspace. And with that in mind join us for an orbital tour of all things geo. GPS, Geo Caching, Geo Fencing, Geo Cities ... er ... yes. Anyway, give it a listen, it really is out of this world!
F is for the Future (According to Rob)
Ok so we may have been a little ambitious here. Attempts to explain the future (all of it) after a few beers resulted in ... something. Starting with the Industrial Revolution, Rob takes Mike on a magical meandering ride through the present and into the great beyond. Expect the usual level of confusion, confoundment and crass combobulation.
F is for Face Off
It's a modern day classic, John Woo, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, some other people. 20 years old and it's barely aged (a lot like Cage tbh). Mike takes great delight in dissecting this particular piece of 90's action awesomeness, although he does have a strange obsession with working out just how far the "swap" went. It's fast, it's frantic, it's funny… it's Face Off!
E is for Emoji
Just what is the plural of Emoji … Emojis, Emojie? Who knows, and who cares. In this months tech segment, Rob tells Mike way more about Emoji than anyone would care to admit to knowing. Pictograms, Purple Egg Plants and Poop all feature, along with a healthy dose of innuendo, more than enough to put a smiley on your face.
E is for Escape From New York
"Call me Sssnake" Kurt Russell? Check! John Carpenter? Check! Amazing synth soundtrack? Check check! In this month's movie episode, Mike and Rob discuss Carpenter's cult classic. The ultimate anti hero, a truly despicable president, and Issac Hayes in all his glory but did the guys actually enjoy the film? You'll have to give it a listen to find out!
D is for Databases
ALL YOUR DATABASE ARE BELONG TO US! Join Mike & Rob as they skip lightly through the depths of the database. From early efforts through to hipster NoSQL via some crazy stats, very poor maths skills, even worse fish puns, and the inevitable bag o d#cks. Recorded al fresco at the Cock & Bottle it may seem like a meandering mess but there is a point … honest … if only we could remember it.
D is for Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Welcome to another month's beer fuelled movie madness. This time Mike & Rob are discussing the various merits of Kubrik's 1964 black satire Dr. Strangelove. Recorded al fresco at the Cock & Bottle with all the usual features you've come to know and love including, Nazi's, seagulls and Amazon 1 Star reviews.
C is for Cookies, Caches and other Crap tech support tell you to Clear
So it turns out BrewDog's Punk IPA is not a session ale … this may explain why this month's tech segment in which Mike & Rob explore the complex mysterious world of Cookies and Caches turns into a delightfully rambling adventure that would be right at home in any pub or bar anywhere in the world. Ever wondered if the inventor of the World Wide Web sent saucy snapchats? How about the importance of the humble Cookie in avoiding embarrassing online checkout moments. We've got it all and more.
C is for Casablanca
Welcome back! Spring has finally sprung here in Jersey and so we invite you to join us, Rob & Mike, on our first (dry) alfresco recording of the movie segment of We're Drunk & We Know Things! This month's movie is Casablanca so listen in for 45 mins of insightful review, comedic commentary, occasional swearing, some little people and a lot of spoilers … for a movie that was made in 1942 so if you haven't seen it yet you've only got yourself to blame.
B is for Bots
In this month's tech segment we're talking 'bout 'bots! Specifically, tweet bots, chat bots and the occasional dalliance into the darker side of bottage. AI, the singularity and job security are all covered in a little under half an hour.
B is for Blade Runner
This month, we're talking about a film beloved by both Mike & Rob – Blade Runner. Recorded in a tiny corridor of a pub, we get deep into the underlying meanings of the movie, discuss the risks of product placement in "near future" scenarios, celebrate the sheer multitude of versions and resort to name calling to describe those who haven't seen it yet. Oh and we promise not to do another Ridley Scott next month … honest.
A is for Asymmetric Encryption
In this first episode (part 2), Mike and Rob takes a wander through the complex world of public private key encryption. Recorded in front of an inebriated, public house audience at two of Jersey's finest watering hole, fuelled by a range of ales and with more ums per minute than you'd believe possible!
A is for Alien
In this first episode (part one), Mike and Rob deconstruct Ridley Scott's 1979 sci fi classic Alien. Recorded in front of an inebriated, public house audience at two of Jersey's finest watering hole, fuelled by a range of ales and with more ums per minute than you'd believe possible!

Alfie Meadows: Anti-Fees demonstration student trial fails to reach decision
by Jake Butler in Student News
Jurors have failed to reach a conclusive decision on whether a student who was hit with a police baton during an anti-fees protest in London is guilty of violent disorder.
Alfie Meadows, 21, was accused of causing disorder during the student demonstration in 2010. The demonstration was against university plans to triple tuition fees.
The trial, which lasted two days at Kingston crown court ended with the jury being inconclusive on whether Meadows was guilty of charges bought towards him.
The protest attracted over 10,000 people, for which the majority were deemed as "entirely lawful". However, Meadows from south London and four other male's actions were deemed to be unlawful.
Prosecutor , James Lofthouse said the demonstration was also accompanied by "serious disorder and violence" against police and property.
After becoming kettled in police circles, Meadows was struck with a baton leaving him hospitalised. A university student himself, Meadows was charged in April last year to which he pleaded not guilty.
The jury of seven men and five women found that the other men, Colin Goff, 24, of Beckenham, Vishnu Wood, 23, of Edgware, and Jack Loche, 18, of Basildon Essex, were not guilty of violent disorder. But jurors couldn't reach an agreement on whether to convict Jack King, 21 of Somerset for the same offence.
Meadows and King are now set to face another trail, although, it will not take place before October or November, the hearing was told.
There is no doubt that this trial has sparked the argument once again about whether the police were too violent during the student protests or that a small pocket of students were simply out to cause violence and disruption.

Q: Using wingIDE with a new module (not recognized) Using my terminal, the code "from PIL import Image" works perfectly and is recognized by my computer. This allows me to get images using the path address.
Here is my issue, when I open wingIDE and try the same code...this module isn't recognized.
Is anyone familiar with wingIDE that can help me?
I would assume PyCharm people might have the same issue with possibly a similar fix, any advice??
Thanks,
Adam

A: Most likely Wing is using a different Python than the one you installed Pillow into.  Try this on the command line:
import sys; sys.executable
Then set the Python Executable in Wing's Project Properties to the full path of that executable (or in Wing 101 this is set in the Configure Python dialog from the Edit menu).  You'll need to restart any debug process and/or the Python Shell from its Options menus.

Mathias Thaler's "No Other Planet"
Mathias Thaler is Professor of Political Theory in the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh. He is the author of No Other Planet: Utopian Visions for a Climate-Changed World (2022), Naming Violence (2018), Moralische Politik oder politische Moral? (2008), and co-editor (with Mihaela Mihai) of Political Violence and the Imagination (2020) and of On the Uses and Abuses of Political Apologies (2014). His papers have appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as the British Journal of Political Science, Environmental Politics, European Journal of Political Theory, Perspectives on Politics, Political Studies, Political Theory, and Review of Politics, among others.
Thaler applied the Page 99 Test to No Other Planet and reported the following:
Page 99 of my book contains the following paragraphs:
The kind of critique that these approaches mobilize is also, I shall argue, the central driver behind the Gaia hypothesis. In order to vindicate this idea, I begin with an account of the origins of the hypothesis, which will then be followed by a reconstruction of Latour's interpretation. The section's final part is dedicated to explaining why it might be illuminating to signify Latour's Gaia as utopian in character.
Before I continue, a caveat: in some sense, it might seem curious to portray Latour's project in this manner: Facing Gaia and Down to Earth, as well as his earlier writings, contain merely a few scattered references to the idea of utopianism, and almost all of them appear to be dismissive. The resounding plea one can detect in all of Latour's writings is for more realism and more common sense, for us to finally get back "down to Earth," to stop hallucinating of escape, to once and for all jettison the quest for other worlds.
Despite this, my contention in the following is that Latour's New Climate Regime amounts to a utopian enterprise. This claim can be fleshed out with the support of te theoretical apparatus outlined in Chapter 2. I will thus read Latour against the grain, positing that his account of politics in the Anthropocene entails a commitment to educate our desire for being and living otherwise. Latour thus falls into the same trap as many anti-totalitarian critics when he assimilates social dreaming to wishful thinking.
Perhaps unsurprisingly the Page 99 Test works well in some respects and not so well in others. Let's begin with the shortcomings. The test fails insofar as the paragraphs above do not provide the reader with a clear sense of what No Other Planet is actually about. This is the case because the page is embedded in a longer section that builds on arguments developed before, in chapters that construct the book's analytical framework, as the reference to Chapter 2 demonstrates. So, unless the reader already knows a good deal about the author I am referring to (Bruno Latour), they will likely not be able to grasp what am talking about here. Neither will they necessarily understand that the book deals with competing utopian visions of our climate-changed world.
But the test does also succeed somehow. This is so because the passage illustrates the general approach I am taking in this book. My authorial voice is audible in these sentences, I am happy to report, even though the page merely summarizes what I will be claiming in the following. The inclusion of the caveat is indicative here: since No Other Planet aims to vindicate a particular account of utopianism, I am concerned with rigorously defending it against important objections to utopian thinking and acting. Concerning the author discussed on page 99, this is particularly necessary, for I propose in this section to read Latour "against the grain". The French sociologist is - on the face of it - vehemently opposed to the notion that his theorizing should be seen as utopian. Yet, my goal in this chapter is to argue that his so-called "Gaia hypothesis" in fact bears the hallmarks of utopian speculation. And that is vital for debates around the Anthropocene, because we need utopias that estrange and defamiliarize us from an unsustainable status quo; something that Latour's vision of a living Earth deeply connected with its inhabitants does so brilliantly.
In sum, the test strikes me as less successful in revealing the content of the book, and more successful in exemplifying the general approach I adopt to explore utopianism today. Would readers grasp what No Other Planet is really about when opening page 99: No. Would they acquire a reasonably strong sense of the way in which I, as a political theorist, engage with utopian thinking and acting? Yes. That seems good enough to me.

In keeping with CONDIS®'mission in safety, stability and modernization of the grid, the Swiss brand has created a strategical technical alliance with Profotech JSC to extended its portfolio and integrate digital metering solutions for substations.
With more and more utilities wanting their substations to become fully digital using IEC 61850 process bus, CONDIS® and its partner Profotech JSC (specialists in high-tech fiber-optical current measurement devices for AC and DC applications), associated their knowledge to develop innovative and complete solutions for digital instrument transformers. These offer a full range of optical current transformers or electronic voltage transformers for high voltage applications including the combined low-power voltage and current instrument transformer (LPIT).
CONDIS®|Profotech combined LPITs consist of electronic fiber optical current transformer (EFOCT) and electronic voltage transformer with capacitive voltage divider (EVTCD), both integrated into a single unit. This innovative device excels with numerous technological advantages compared to its conventional instrument transformer counterparts. It ensures higher precision throughout a wide temperature and frequency range and direct digital output according to the latest international standards. Moreover, CONDIS|Profotech's solution covers all voltage and current levels (50Hz/60Hz as well as DC applications) appearing in the high voltage grid. LPITs have been tested and have proven their interoperability with IEC 61850 compatible relays of all major international relay providers.
In addition to the technical benefits of this solution, a significant reduction in size and footprint can be achieved with such LPITs by using either optical or electronic converters instead of secondary inductive transducers, which are used in conventional CTs and VTs. The elimination of inductive transducers also results in the eradication of magnetic saturation during high frequency or short circuit events. Along with significantly reduced oil volumes, the almost oil-free voltage transformers and completely oil-free passive optical current transformers, clearly contribute to higher operational safety and improved environmental impact. Moreover, by replacing copper wires with fiber-optic cables, electrical substation operators' safety is improved whenever maintenance is needed.
CONDIS and Profotech installed a first pilot line of the combined LPIT system running in parallel to conventional VTs and CTs in order to prove the concept at a Swiss utility in 2017. In addition to that, two 3-phase 500kV systems of stand-alone EFOCT and EVTCD were commissioned at the end of 2017 in Tobol, Russia for the Federal Grid Company (FGC). These optical current and electronic voltage transformers were designed and tested to withstand the arctic temperatures and high seismic activities in that region. The next project will be the installation of a 3-phase 550kV EFOCT along with a 3-phase flexible EFOCT before the end of Q3.2018 for a customer in the Netherlands. With more projects to follow during the next year in Europe and North America.
Offering a highly advanced instrument-transformer solution that complies with the latest communication standards and new-substation designs, CONDIS positions itself as a strong and reliable partner for international utilities and other major industrial players that are willing to adopt novel technologies to modernize their substations.

VALDOSTA — Valdosta State University alumnus Ken Trimmins returns to his alma mater to perform as a guest soloist on trumpet and flugelhorn with the Faculty Jazz Combo at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 10. The concert is free and open to the public and will be held in Whitehead Auditorium.
Concert band director and assistant professor of applied trumpet, conducting, and jazz improvisation at Albany State University, Trimmins graduated from VSU with a bachelor's degree in music education in 1985. He then went on to earn a master's degree in trumpet performance from Mercer University in Macon and a doctorate in classical trumpet performance from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla. He previously served on the faculty at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.
Trimmins completed a distinguished career with the United States Air Force Band program, serving as trumpeter, vocalist, and director of operations for nine touring ensembles and as musical director and bandleader for three Air Force jazz bands.
Described as a dynamic and versatile trumpet player, composer, as well as educator, Trimmins has performed in venues around the world. He performed in June 2011 with the Honduran Philharmonic Orchestra in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, as a featured international soloist, a moment that caught the attention of U.S. Department of State officials.
Monday's program features the music of Thelonious Monk, an American jazz pianist and composer often considered as one of the giants of American music.
The Faculty Jazz Combo is comprised of members of the VSU Department of Music faculty: Joren Cain on saxophones, Doug Farwell on trombone, David Springfield on piano, Tod Leavitt on bass, and Paul Campiglia on drums and vibraphone.
Whitehead Auditorium is located on the first floor of VSU's Fine Arts Building, at the intersection of Oak Street and Brookwood Drive.
Contact David Springfield, assistant professor of jazz piano and director of the Jazz Studies Program at VSU, at (229) 333-5805 or despring@valdosta.edu to learn more.


Discussion in 'Welcomes and introductions' started by joesanphoto, Nov 21, 2010.
I am new to the forum, and new to MFT - I am a wedding photographer from long island and have been looking for a camera to take around with me without lugging my pro gear around. Finally found it!
Joe, welcome to the forum. I was just admiring some of your work on the website. Glad you've joined us!
Joe, welcome and I have to say that I wish you'd been my photographer when I married my husband. Of course, we won't even say how old you might have been then - I doubt you'd have been professional back then. Your photographs are excellent and definitely not the run of the mill style. They're very well done and interesting, even without knowing the people involved.
I can't wait to see what you'll bring us here with your Olympus E-PL1!


Amazon reportedly has held talks with TPK Holdings, Wintek, HannStar Display and J Touch for the supply of touch panels, indicated the sources, noting that Amazon targets to ship four million tablet PCs before the end of 2011.
However, Apple is pressuring the supply chain considerably. The Cupertino, California company reportedly plans to ramp up iPad 2 manufacturing to twelve million iPad 2 units for the third quarter, up from an estimated 6-7 million units in the second quarter and the 4.9 million iPads Apple shipped during the first quarter. Because of this, the Amazon tablet could be facing serious constraints, the report notes.
The story corroborates a previous report from the same publication calling for a September-August launch. The rumor-mill talk is that the online retail giant will introduce a plethora of Android-driven mobile devices, possibly even a smartphone. Amazon's boss Jeff Bezos wouldn't reveal anything beyond dropping hints and teasing us to "stay tuned".

Dylan Cozens Stats & Scouting Report - Baseball America
Name: Dylan Wallace Cozens
Born: May 31, 1994 in Scottsdale, AZ
High School: Chapparal HS, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Bats: L / Throws: L
Career 39 .154 .267 .282 1
Drafted in the 2nd round (77th overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2012 (signed for $659,800)
Cozens has a huge frame at 6-foot-6 and 235 pounds. He is committed to Arizona for baseball and to play defensive end for the football team. He's likely to end up at first base in pro ball and scouts are banking on his bat. Cozens has plenty of lefthanded power. He hit 19 home runs on the season, the most in the state of Arizona, and his final bomb was a walk-off shot to help Chaparral High win the Division I state championship. But not all scouts are convinced the power will translate at the next level, as there is some stiffness to Cozens' swing.

Q: How to retrieve Velocity data that's used for Azure Dev-Ops Analytics Velocity Dashboard Widget? I want to retrieve the backend data that's used to specifically drive the Azure DevOps Analytics Velocity Dashboard Report [Committed and Completed Points for each interaction]. I would like to pull this data either using OData feed or the Visual Studio Team Services (Beta) in order to create custom PowerBI reports
[1] Example of the report I'm trying to pull the data from can be found here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/analytics/_img/velocity-ax-catalog.png?view=vsts

A: Why you have to retrieve the data? You can directly create Power BI reports using Analytics views.
Please see What are Analytics views for details.

When using the Power BI Data Connector, these same default views
  appear in the Navigator dialog. The view you select determines the set
  of records, fields, and history which are loaded into Power BI.
Default Analytics views work well for customers with small datasets.
  To learn more, see Default Analytics views.
If the default Analytics views do not meet your needs, you can create
  custom views to fine-tune the records, fields, and history returned to
  Power BI.

Please see below links for more information:

*

*Simplify creation of your Power BI reports using Analytics views

*Create an Analytics view in Azure DevOps

*Power BI integration overview

A: I was able to replicate the Velocity report by using the "Stories - All history" view. You would need to modify the view to track daily history and then use the Iteration start date/Iteration end date along with the "date" column to filter out the Committed and Completed data.


It was a rough end to the year for equities, with most markets, including Canadian and American ones, experiencing significant declines.
In the last quarter of 2018 North American stocks plunged into "correction" territory, beginning with a freefall in October. Markets reacted to another U.S. interest rate hike, while trade tensions, signs of slowing global economic growth, plummeting oil prices and political turmoil in Europe put pressure on equities, too. Increased volatility sent markets spinning during the final months of the year.
In Canada, the health-care sector posted the biggest absolute decline, as cannabis stocks plunged in the weeks following marijuana legalization.
Canada's S&P/TSX Composite Index dropped by 10.1 percent – falling to its lowest level since mid-2016 – while the S&P 500 Composite Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 8.7 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively, in Canadian dollar terms. In a rush to safety, and perhaps in an attempt to preserve gains going into year-end, defensive market sectors gold, the U.S. dollar, and other safe-haven assets all outperformed. The stronger U.S. dollar and weaker oil prices pushed the loonie steadily lower through the quarter.
In Canada, the health-care sector posted the biggest absolute decline, as cannabis stocks plunged in the weeks following marijuana legalization. It was the energy sector, though, that weighed heaviest on index performance. The price of West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) hit a four-year high in early October, then went into a steady slide that saw it shed over 40 percent of its value. Western Canadian Select (WCS) fell below US$15 a barrel, the lowest level since the depths of the 2015/2016 oil shock.
The industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, both economically sensitive sectors, were also hit hard by growing economic uncertainty. A rotation to defensive sectors pushed staples and communications services to gains, while higher gold prices lifted the materials sector.
Among S&P 500 sectors, staples and real estate outperformed, but declined nonetheless. Only the utilities sector managed to remain in the black. As in Canada, energy stocks posted the worst performance, with industrials, consumer discretionary and technology not far behind.
Most international markets fell alongside their North American counterparts with the MSCI World Index dropping by 8.6 percent, the MSCI Asia Pacific declining by 6 percent and the MSCI Europe falling by 7.9 percent, all in Canadian dollar terms. Emerging markets outperformed the global aggregates for the quarter, as rapidly retreating U.S. interest rates began to soften the U.S. dollar, whose strength had been a headwind for developing economies all year.
Both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada raised their benchmark interest rates during the quarter, but government bond yields fell sharply as investors became increasingly concerned about the weakening economic growth outlook. Government bonds in Canada and the U.S. delivered positive returns for the quarter as interest rates retreated. However, growing credit risk caused corporate spreads to widen and corporate bonds to underperform. High-yield bonds also saw significant losses as investors fled to safer assets.

Q: AWS CDK: enabling access logging for classical load balancer We are using Classical load balancer in our Infra deployed via CDK. For deploying Load balancer we are using level 2 Constructs. The code is like this:
const lb = new elb.LoadBalancer(this, 'LB', {
            vpc: vpcRef,

            internetFacing: true,
            healthCheck: {
                port: 80
            },

        });

        lb.addListener({
            externalPort: 80,
        });
    }

We are not able to find any property using which we can enable the access logging. Someone suggested me to use AccessLoggingPolicyProperty. I checked  that and found that this property can be used with Level 1 constructs only. Can some please guide me on how we can enable the access logs via CDK on a classical load balancer using Level 2 constructs.

A: As per the documentation you need S3 bucket with right permissions configured. With that you can follow aws-cdk documentation on how to get access to L1 Construct.
It is going to look roughly like the following code
const lbLogs = new Bucket(this, 'LB Logs');

const elbAccountId = 'TODO: find right account for you region in docs';

lbLogs.grantPut(new AccountPrincipal(elbAccountId));

lbLogs.grantPut(
  new ServicePrincipal('delivery.logs.amazonaws.com', {
    conditions: {
      StringEquals: {
        's3:x-amz-acl': 'bucket-owner-full-control',
      },
    },
  })
);

lbLogs.grantRead(new ServicePrincipal('delivery.logs.amazonaws.com'));

const cfnLoadBalancer = lb.node.defaultChild as CfnLoadBalancer;
cfnLoadBalancer.accessLoggingPolicy = {
  enabled: true,
  s3BucketName: lbLogs.bucketName,
};

Diversity - A Requisite for Excellent Science | Ans Hekkenberg | TEDxVenlo
TEDx talks 2017
Ans Hekkenberg advocates for more women in science at TEDXVenlo
16 Oct 2017 Nanet Hazenbosch
Science journalist, writer and head of communications for 'Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica' (CWI) Ans Hekkenberg states her case at TEDxVenlo on November 7th. She tells us why we need greater diversity in science and how technology is essential in pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
A lifelong passion for writing
The 29-year old studied physics and astronomy at Radboud University in Nijmegen. Having had a lifelong passion for writing – in primary school, she started a magazine with her sister and always wrote short stories with her friends – she soon started writing about the sciences. It was only natural she completed a master's degree in Education and Communication before graduating.
Science is for everybody
"I found that most scientists are passionate and proud of their work, but they don't always communicate this to the outside world. While science is for everybody! We need science, we profit from it and we also pay for it. That's why it's so important that scientists share what they are working on."
To her dismay she found that diversity in science is hard to find. "Women are held back; they receive fewer positive recommendations than their male counterparts, are cited less in scientific journals. Think about it, 'genius', 'pioneer', these accolades are all masculine and almost never accredited to female scientists."
Draw a scientist
David Wade Chambers first researched gender bias by asking children to draw a scientist. He found that out of 5,000 students only 28 children drew female scientists. And it persists, according to Hekkenberg: "It's interesting to see that our surroundings play such a big role in the stereotypical way we view scientists."
On November 7th, the writer hopes to inspire people to check their own (gender) bias so that we can all start working towards a better, and more inclusive, future. What the future holds for Ans? She will continue to fight for equality as an ambassador of the Dutch Technology Pact and hopes to one day work at NASA or ESA.

Listen to Lissy Trullie's new Single 'Here'
The beloved & alternative singer-songwriter Lissy Trullie releases her new Single 'Here'. It's been a solid six years since Lissy Trullie released a record under her own name. This prolonged absence wasn't a choice, but the result of the business side of making music. Not being able to play took a serious personal toll too, but, Lissy kept plenty busy — working with OpeningCeremony, walking for Gucci, making new wave-inspired tunes as one half of Zipper Club, and spinning at parties like Pat. After years of being stuck in a creative limbo, Lissy is finally free. We're proud to debut the outstanding first single off her forthcoming solo record, "Here."

Q: Make Bootstrap Carousel move seamlessly I have been using bootstrap v5 in a project and I want that on clicking the next button, the next slide should start to enter side by side rather than waiting for the first one to leave the viewport(Kind of similar to that carousel implemented by Netflix). Is there any way out to tweak with the default bootstrap code and get the desired result?
The current Carousel HTML:

  <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carousel" data-bs-slide="prev">

        Previous
      </button>
  <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carousel" data-bs-slide="next">

        Next
      </button>

Tech Used: Bootstrap v5, Reactjs
