Last year, just a few months into this divisive presidency, Pillsbury House Theatre presented a series of short plays commissioned from local playwrights titled The Great Divide: Plays for a Broken Nation. Utilizing art not to judge or blame, but to explore where we are at this present moment, how we got here, and how we can move forward. One year later, it feels like we're more divisive than ever (although not without a few glimmers of hope), and Pillsbury House has yet again commissioned five short plays, this time under the title The Great Divide II: Plays on the Politics of Truth. They asked the playwrights, "What does truth have to do with our us vs. them mentalities? What is the difference between fact and truth anyway, and does it matter? What happens when our firmly embedded emotions become facts?" The result is five very different and very thoughtful plays, all dealing in some (more or less obvious) way with truth.
Last year's incredible four-person cast (Audrey Park, Mikell Sapp, Ricardo Vázquez, and Tracey Maloney) returns, each of them so versatile as they create very different characters in these very different stories in a short amount of time. DJ Chamun also returns to keep us entertained before the show and between each play, with an interesting selection of songs. New this year is director Noël Raymond, clearly leading us through each story and finding a connection between them. All stories play out on a nearly bare stage, with that fractured red and blue map of the country on the floor. Minimal set pieces and costume changes place us in new worlds in a matter of minutes, with a little help from the imagination (environmental design by Kellie Larson, costume design by Amber Brown).
Just what the title says, but somehow way more interesting. Through these (actual) emails we hear how the playwright's enthusiasm for journalism slowly faded as she dealt with the practicalities of working in journalism in today's world.
A fantastical story about a creature who lives in the woods, told from various perspectives so that we're not quite sure what's real and what's not.
Two couples travel to Mt. Rushmore, some reluctantly, some enthusiastically, and some hard truths come out, both personal and political.
A woman who is out hiking (and maybe hunting) in the woods in Minnesota discovers a dying polar bear, with whom she has a conversation about life, love, and loss.
The Great Divide II plays for two short weeks only (through March 25). There's no bashing of anyone; these are plays that anyone and everyone could and should see as a catalyst for thought and conversation about these very timely issues. I hope that Pillsbury House continues this series until this great divide is healed, because responding immediately to what is happening right now is one of the most valuable services theaters can offer to the world.

The 40-Year Itch
Would-be space explorers, scientists, and a couple of crackpots gather at DARPA's 100-Year Starship Symposium to try to get interstellar travel unstuck.

The fastest a person has ever traveled is just 24,791 miles per hour. The three men of Apollo 10 went that fast on their way back from the moon in 1969.
The fastest a man-made object has ever traveled out of the solar system is 39,000 miles per hour—the speed with which Voyager 1, a space probe launched in 1977.*
David Neyland wants to beat these dusty, decades-old records. Neyland is a tall man, with the bushy beard of a frontier prophet and the measured tones of a midranking bureaucrat. He is both of these things. The head of the tactical-technology office at the military research agency DARPA, he convened a group of more than 1,000 at the Orlando Hilton last weekend to strategize about the next great era in space travel. The mission of the 100-Year Starship Public Symposium: to set about organizing a century-long effort to send a spaceship to another star. Neyland opened the conference to the public, drawing sci-fi fans and space geeks along with professional scientists. Ph.D. or not, all were frustrated with the lack of progress in space. As one wag in the audience would say, we should be having this meeting at the lunar Hilton. There was a sense that, for the just over 40 years since Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, nothing new has been done.
The symposium was far-reaching, with presentations including "Modular Aneutronic Fusion Engine for an Alpha Centauri Mission" and "To Humbly Go … Breaking Previous Patterns of Colonization." The meat of the conference was hard science: the physics and engineering of propulsion. The dessert, which drew in the public, came in the form of sessions on space and religion ("Did Jesus die for Klingons, too?") and panels with sci-fi writers.
But many came for the dessert and strayed to the meat. One of the hard-core tracks ("Time-Distance Solutions: Exotic Physics") was so popular it had to be moved to the symposium's biggest room. The session's moderator, John Cramer, a physics professor from the University of Washington in a plaid shirt and sport coat, said, "In times to come I predict this will be looked back on as the Woodstock of star travel." He compared the exotic physicists to "the punk bands, the guys that break the rules in order to get laid faster."*
There are many complications to interstellar travel, but the fundamental problem is that we need to go faster. Burning things—what almost every spacecraft so far has relied on for propulsion—would require trips that last tens of thousands of years. Nuclear rockets of various types—fission, fusion—would be faster but have their own drawbacks. Fission rockets are, in principle, technically feasible today, but launching them would be politically impossible because of the risk of radioactive contamination, if the rocket were to blow up on lift-off. The next option is solar sails, which aren't so different from regular sails, except instead of wind, they rely on the pressure of light bouncing off them. They have the big advantage of not having to carry propellant (which nuclear rockets, like regular rockets, would have to do). A variant on solar sails, the simplest of which rely on sunlight, would instead bounce off a beam—laser or microwave—sent from earth, which has the advantage that it could be tightly focused.
After years of being all talk, a Japanese probe launched last year became the first to use solar sails for propulsion, making it to Venus in just over six months. James Benford, an entrepreneur who founded the company Microwave Sciences, gave one of the most focused talks of the conference, addressing the economics of microwave-driven sails. Because microwave ovens are cheap, he said, we could assemble an array of thousands of microwave ovens into an array to push sails. This was a great example of the reverse spin-off argument: It's more likely that Earth-bound developments will make things in space feasible than that astronaut ice cream will take over the nation's stomachs.
These two most obvious paths—solar sails and nuclear rockets—are methods that, if we spent a lot of money and time on developing them, would definitely work moderately well. But neither will ever be that good. The stars are just too far. What we really need is something radically different, a game-changer. For that, I turned to Kramer's exotic physics session.
Usually musical festivals build up to the big names. But the exotic physics session opened with a rock star in the world of space geeks: Marc Millis.* Millis was famous for having persuaded NASA to run a short-lived "breakthrough propulsion physics" project from 1996 to 2002. During my subsequent interview with him, we were interrupted three times by attendees eager for Millis' autograph. He now runs his own outfit, the Tau Zero Foundation, which scrapes by on donations. He also literally wrote the book on the subject: Frontiers of Propulsion Science, which has whole sections on how to dissuade crackpots.
While careful not to overpromise, Millis is trying to think of ways that a spacecraft could be propelled without fuel. "You have to pick something completely different," he says. "Why don't we go back to the fundamental physics and try and find solutions around that?" One of his ideas is to try to push against the universe. "You move one way and the universe moves the other way. If you start thinking about this, your head starts spinning. What," he asks, "are you pushing the universe relative to?"
Throughout the weekend, there was some disconnect between the space-curious members of the public, eager for visions of Star Trek futures, and the scientists engrossed in the nitty-gritty. Millis was followed by Harold "Sonny" White, from NASA's Johnson Space Center. While talking about the field equations of general relativity, he had the excitement of someone describing a running back juke around a defender. When he segued into the Chung-Freese metric, the woman next to me, a matronly type with dyed red hair, turned to her companion and asked, "Do you understand this?" He had a bushy mustache and sneakers, and if nerdish looks were any guide, looked like he should. He wrote his answer on a piece of paper, a scrawled "No." It's good to get the public excited, but the best way to do this is to actually do exciting things, not to have a deliberate strategy of public engagement that leaves lay audience members baffled in Orlando conference rooms.
White is currently designing an experiment to test whether he can demonstrate a small gravity-distorting effect in the lab. "This is highly speculative physics. It may not have any basis in physical reality," he cautioned. "Nobody get excited. It's still very, very hard." That was the line between the serious types and the crackpots—the serious types had crazy ideas, too; they just didn't forget that their ideas were probably wrong. "You want to tackle the challenges that make your peers feel uneasy," Millis says.
Millis, White, and their colleagues are trying hard to strike a balance; they know they must be both audacious and methodical. Others at the conference weren't trying as hard.
On Sunday morning, the guys from Sol Seed ("Bringing Life Even Unto the Galaxy") passed out fliers stating four rather ambitious, and divergent, goals. The first is to build an "eco-village community in Portland," while the fourth is "contributing to the destiny of life: spreading beyond Earth to take root amongst the stars!" Surprisingly, though, only one guy ranted about UFOs. ("I'm not talking about the crazy people. I'm talking about solid military evidence, CIA, DIA.") He left the room quietly when the panelists refused to engage him.
Then there were those who weren't crazy, but weren't helpful, either. One presenter vaguely said that it would be good to be able to communicate faster than light. He was riveted by his own slides, which said, "This problem appears insoluble." Toward the end, he mentioned the potential military application of his non-existent technology: It would work underwater. This is a bit like saying that if you were immortal, not having to worry about a long wait for a table at Applebee's would be one of the important benefits.
Tufts University's Ken Olum had the biggest beard I saw at the conference, which is saying a lot. His beard goes around a big U along the whole of his head, giving him a sort of upside-down halo. He looks like I imagine an alchemist might. But he wouldn't like that comparison. "We should not be alchemists," he told the conference. "They wanted a goal and that's what they thought about. After a while they were doing nothing useful. They were replaced by chemists who had the desire to learn about the world as it is, and not the desire to do some particular thing."
Speaking of misguided desires, a subsequent panel of science-fiction writers engaged in a long and pointless argument about the sociology of space colonies: It had all the substance and weight of a nuanced public policy debate, except that the dilemmas they were talking about were fictional. Michael Waltemathe, a young German academic with a pink tie, talked about religion and space colonization. Apollo 14, he told the audience, had taken 100 microfiche Bibles to the surface of the moon and back. This made him wonder how many bishops a space colony would have to take along to uphold apostolic succession. "Since I'm a Protestant," he said, "I would take all of them." That was the problem with a conference that deliberately tried to cultivate dreamers: They started planning the wedding before they'd even asked the girl out.
As the symposium drew to a close, James Benford sounded a note of optimism with a hint of longing: "We've been asking how to build starships. If we can't, the rest of the questions are moot. The answer, I think, is that we can." No one expects more money from DARPA, or from NASA, but they really are convinced that change is coming. Outside the main session, I stood talking with Millis. He took out a recent article he wrote for the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society. There was a triptych of rockets: a NASA rocket, Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip One, and SpaceX's Falcon rocket. "Fail!" he exclaimed when he pointed to the NASA rocket. "We are at the threshold of a sociological change," he said: Space is about to be opened up to private industry in a fundamentally new way. If industry lives up to the hopes of those assembled in Orlando, maybe the fastest human beings in history will soon be traveling toward something instead of back to Earth, like the Apollo 10 crew.

Q: convert single value array within a nested object to a single value javascript I have a nested object where I'd like to convert an array of a single value group, into a single value:
real_data = [
  [
    {x: 1, group: [1]},
    {x: 9, group: [2]},
    {x: 3, group: [3]}
  ],
  [
    {x: 2, group: [1]},
    {x: 4, group: [2]},
    {x: 10, group: [3]}
  ],
  [
    {x: 1, group: [1]},
    {x: 5, group: [2]},
    {x: 12, group: [3]}
  ],
  [],
    [
    {x: 1, group: [1]},
    {x: 5, group: [2]},
    {x: 12, group: [3]}
  ]
]

I've tried using map here but have been struggling due to the nested nature of the array. I also tried and struggled with some nested for loops. The desired output is:
desired_output = [
  [
    {x: 1, group: 1},
    {x: 9, group: 2},
    {x: 3, group: 3}
  ],
  [
    {x: 2, group: 1},
    {x: 4, group: 2},
    {x: 10, group: 3}
  ],
  [
    {x: 1, group: 1},
    {x: 5, group: 2},
    {x: 12, group: 3}
  ],
  [],
    [
    {x: 1, group: 1},
    {x: 5, group: 2},
    {x: 12, group: 3}
  ]
]

Any help appreciated!!

A: It is simple.

*

*Loop complete outer array

*Loop inner array

*Set value of group in inner array

real_data = [
  [
    {x: 1, group: [1]},
    {x: 9, group: [2]},
    {x: 3, group: [3]}
  ],
  [
    {x: 2, group: [1]},
    {x: 4, group: [2]},
    {x: 10, group: [3]}
  ],
  [
    {x: 1, group: [1]},
    {x: 5, group: [2]},
    {x: 12, group: [3]}
  ],
  [],
    [
    {x: 1, group: [1]},
    {x: 5, group: [2]},
    {x: 12, group: [3]}
  ]
];

var desiredOutput = real_data.map( elements => {
    let newElements = elements.map(element => {
        element.group = element.group[0];
        return element;
    });
    return newElements;
})

A: You can achieve the desired result without modifying the original input -

const input =
  [[{x:1,group:[1]},{x:9,group:[2]},{x:3,group:[3]}],[{x:2,group:[1]},{x:4,group:[2]},{x:10,group:[3]}],[{x:1,group:[1]},{x:5,group:[2]},{x:12,group:[3]}],[],[{x:1,group:[1]},{x:5,group:[2]},{x:12,group:[3]}]]

const output =
  input.map(x => x.map(({ group: [group], ...y }) => ({ ...y, group })))

console.log(output)

[
  [
    {x:1,group:1},
    {x:9,group:2},
    {x:3,group:3}
  ],
  [
    {x:2,group:1},
    {x:4,group:2},
    {x:10,group:3}
  ],
  [
    {x:1,group:1},
    {x:5,group:2},
    {x:12,group:3}
  ],
  [],
  [
    {x:1,group:1},
    {x:5,group:2},
    {x:12,group:3}
  ]
]

A: based on the desired output you can use the following
real_data.map(o=>{
    return o.map(p=>{
        return {...p, group:parseInt(p.group.toString(),10)}
    })
})

2013-2021 Exit | Explaining Albania
Disillusionment With Hydropower in the Balkans
From: Alice Elizabeth Taylor 02-03-2019 at 13:23
The popularity of hydropower in the Balkans is beginning to decrease. With hundreds of new projects planned across the region and investors salivating at the huge water resources available, finally the public sentiment is beginning to change.
Tired of losing vast swathes of protected land and untouched countryside to hydro projects, citizens across the region are starting to protest against proposed plans. In Kosovo, thousands of people protested over plans for a series of hydropower plants on the Lumbardhi River, resulting in Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj ordering an immediate stop to construction pending the outcome of a scale and impact assessment.
Pristina, the capital of the country has pledged to develop the as of yet relatively untapped hydropower potential as it aims to increase its share of renewable energy generation to 25 per cent by 2025. The plans to develop hydropower facilities in national parks has been met with strong opposition and after the Peja protest, the predominantly Serbian municipality of Strpce protested against the construction of a mini hydropower plant in their locality.
At the time of writing there are over 3000 hydropower plants in the pipeline or under construction on rivers between Greece and Slovenia. According to a local NGO, Save the Blue Heart of Europe, protests have taken place in a number of countries with citizens becoming angry and concerned about the environmental impact on protected areas and national parks.
On January 27th, over 6000 people protested in Belgrade over plans to build around 850 plants in the country, 200 of which will be in nature reserves and national parts. Then, in Bosnia, clashes have erupted over plans to construct two plants in the Kruscica area.
But the need to construct these plants is bound to the regions commitment to the Energy Community. With many of these countries being aspiring members of the EU, the have adopted targets to boost their use of renewable energy as a part of their ongoing integration with the EU energy policy.
Albania however, outstrips all other EU member states at present as almost all of its energy is already from hydropower sources, yet environmental groups are not happy about the construction of such plants on untouched rivers such as the Vjosa. Similar proposals to build plants at Holta Canyon near Elbasan have been met with resistance due to to the fact that the area is not only one of outstanding natural beauty, but it is a tourist destination that attracts thousands of visitors every year.
A study conducted in the Western Balkan region at the end of 2018 states that around three quarters of Balkan rivers are considered as ecologically valuable and therefore should be off limits for hydro projects. Unfortunately, around 89 per cent of the 3000 planned projects in the area are all located in such areas.
In Albania, EcoAlbania Riverwatch and EuroNatur filed a complaint against the government over concerns for the Kalivaç and Poçem hydro projects not being in line with Energy Community rules. This is the first complaint of its type in Albania and they are calling on the Energy Community to launch an infringement process against the government.
"This is another step in our long fight against the hydropower projects on the Vjosa River. We are convinced that the Albanian Government is breaking not only Albanian law but also its commitment to the Energy Community. The hydropower projects 'Kalivaç' and 'Poçem' are not even economically viable, as social and environmental costs are underestimated," said Olsi Nika from EcoAlbania in a February 26 statement.
Whilst concerned citizens in Albania protest in earnest in the hope that their rivers and canyons can be saved from destruction, there is some hope on the horizon.
In November 2018, a group lead by the India Power Corporation announced that it intends to build a 100MW solar park worth EUR 70 million. A month later, the energy ministry announced that Statkraft, a Norwegian energy company, had applied to build a floating photovoltaic plant in central Albania. Then yesterday, an announcement was made by Voltalia that they had signed a contract for a 2.5MW solar plant to be located in the southwest region of the country with the commissioning date expected to be Q3 2019 at the latest.
Whilst solar power provides a far less intrusive and destructive way of satisfying the country's power needs, it is hoped that proper impact assessments will be undertaken before installation at each site, and that areas important for nature, tourism, and Albanians are not sacrificed for the sake of profit.

Our company started as a consultancy, aimed at equipping offices of architects and engineers in eastern European countries with state-of-the-art western technical drawing equipment and furniture, including integral concepts and solutions for the modern creative workspace.
The name "Svenska Interorga" is derived from the words "International" and "Organisation"and our home-base in Sweden.
Today, Svenska Interorga presents itself as a lean company with experience and solid expertise within the fields of international marketing and consultancy on creative work- and learningspaces, both in established and emerging global markets.
Due to both generational succession within our company and the general trends of globalization, we again find ourselves in a process of re-orientation: In addition to further developing our established fields of practice, we intend to work more on activities with a social and educational responsible focus.
The fall of the iron curtain led to dramatic changes to the market structure in Europe, which, combined with the increasing digitalization of office work, including the introduction of new computer aided design & manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies and, with time, web-connectivity, meant that Svenska Interorga needed a new business orientation. In this period, our company therefore expanded its outreach globally, to include clients in Latin American, East-Asian and Western-European markets and we expanded our product portfolio through innovative products for many different sectors, such as healthcare, mobility and the arts.

New York City has lost jobs for two consecutive months for the first time since mid 2010, data released Thursday shows. It is another sign that the city's economy is slowing sharply. If the trend continues, it may be that spring of 2017 will represent the peak of an expansion that began in November 2009.
The state Labor Department reported that seasonally adjusted employment in April dropped to 4,381,600, down 10,000 from February's record. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1% from 4.0% in March, which was the lowest number ever for the city.
A slowdown in the rate of growth is not unexpected given the length of what is appropriately called the Bloomberg-de Blasio boom, especially as travel bans and a stronger dollar create big problems for tourism and the move to online shopping does the same for retail stores. But that is very different from an actual decline in jobs, which would have enormous implications for everything from construction to the city budget.
All of the official forecasts from the city, the Independent Budget Office and independent economists still predict gains for the year. A few more months like March and April might change their outlooks.

Britain could face gaps on supermarket shelves this summer and an "unimaginable" collapse of supply chains after the pandemic and Brexit led to a shortage of more than 100,000 truck drivers, industry leaders have warned.
In a 23 June letter sent to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the industry called for his personal intervention to allow access to European labour by introducing temporary worker visas for HGV drivers and adding them to a "shortage occupation list".
A government spokesman said however that with the country's new post-Brexit immigration system, the industry should look to hire local workers instead.
"Supermarkets are already reporting that they are not receiving their expected food stocks and, as a result, there is considerable wastage," said Richard Burnett, the chief executive of the Road Haulage Association, which co-ordinated the letter.
Britain's supermarket industry, led by Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons, relies on an army of drivers and warehouse workers to bring fresh produce from the fields of Europe to its shelves.
Britain's logistics industry had been one of the most vocal in the run-up to Britain's departure from the European Union, warning that truck drivers would not want to come to Britain if checks and friction increased at the border.
The pandemic has compounded the problem after many European drivers living in Britain returned to their country of origin.
The letter said intervention from government was now the only way to avert "critical supply chains failing at an unprecedented and unimaginable level".
It said the approaching summer holidays, the continued unlocking of the economy and spikes in demand for food and drink created by hot weather and major sporting events would exacerbate the problem. Christmas preparation would also be hit.
In response a government spokesman said progress had been made in hiring and training.
"Our new points-based immigration system makes clear employers should focus on investing in our domestic workforce, especially those needing to find new employment, rather than relying on labour from abroad," he said.
The letter was signed by the CEOs of a raft of logistics groups, including Eddie Stobart, Wincanton (WIN.L), XPO Logistics and KUEHNE + NAGEL, as well as the heads of industry groups including the Food and Drink Federation, British Frozen Food Federation, Cold Chain Federation, British Beer and Pub Association and the British Meat Producers Association.

The Austrian Cultural Forum New York is pleased to present Women.Now, a group exhibition showcasing contemporary female artists based in Austria and the United States. This transmedial show unites artists from different generations, commenting on women's role in society and the arts.
The exhibition pays homage to major anniversaries: In 1918 and 1920 women in Austria and in the U.S., respectively, were given the right to vote, a milestone in political equality. Second, it recalls 1968, a year in which social norms defined by patriarchal structures were put under radical scrutiny as the feminist avant-garde was formed. In Women.Now, curator Sabine Fellner sheds light on the legacies of these historic developments and how they impact current artistic discourse.
A video by Margot Pilz sets the precedent for the show. Her short film explores female figures which traditional historical narratives belittle, encouraging the spectator to reflect on stories that tend not to be told. Comparably, Béatrice Dreux attempts to disengage notorious mythical goddesses and priestesses from their paternalistic narration and have them speak for themselves. Pilz and Dreux thus map out a broad field of gender discrimination, more specific subsets of which other pieces in the exhibition examine in greater detail.
Artworks by Ellen Lesperance, Ines Doujak, and Uli Aigner focus on trades that are traditionally associated with women and the feminine, such as the textile industry or pottery, and endow them with strong political commentary. While Doujak calls attention to exploitive relations of economic power in the fast-paced fashion industry, Aigner and Lesperance reconcile the private and the political, enmeshing features of key (political) figures with typically feminine craftsmanship.
Sabine Jelinek and Eva Schlegel investigate the nature of freedom, in particular women's claim to it, and expose the ambivalence of a notion that blurs the line between flying towards the sky and tumbling through the air.
The extent of women's freedom and the right to decide for themselves has also spurred a heated debate in the realm of sexuality and lust. A large site-specific wall drawing by Sevda Chkoutova and a two-piece photograph by Heidi Harsieber testify to that debate, making clear-cut distinctions between lust, violence, rapture, and passion nearly impossible. For Chkoutova, the contemporary discourse of lust and sexuality is closely linked to perceptions of the body, particularly to conceptions of beauty. She shares this interest with a wide range of female artists, notably Claudia Schumann, Frenzi Rigling, Titanilla Eisenhart, and Adriana Czernin, whose works also display an interest in conformity and resistance, and Martha Wilson and Joan Semmel, who expand the debate to include ageing. These works are united in their attempt to understand why female identity is so closely linked to physical appearance.
The diversity the artists display in addressing womanhood seems to confirm the claims made by Betty Tompkins and Maria Hahnenkamp, who argue that these concepts are cultural constructions shaped by language and visual media. In so doing, these works resonate with key tenets of feminist theory, to which Hahnenkamp refers explicitly in her video. The works in the exhibition thus give an idea of the multi-faceted, ever ambiguous nature of what constitutes "the feminine" and the role of women today.
Sabine Fellner is a curator living and working in Vienna. She has contributed to a variety of publications on the topics of Austrian art of the 19th and 20th century as well as everyday culture and (co)-curated exhibitions for Austrian venues such as LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz, NORDICO Stadtmuseum Linz, Forum Frohner in Krems, Leopold Museum Vienna, the Jewish Museum Vienna, and the Belvedere Museum Vienna. Recent shows include Rabenmütter/Mother of the Year (2015-2016), Aging Pride (2017-2018), and The Better Half: Jewish Women Artists Before 1938 (2016-2017).

Mayweather vs. McGregor projected to reach 1 billion homes says White
Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor will reach more than 1 billion homes worldwide, according to UFC president Dana White. The fight is projected to bring in a whopping 4.9 million pay-per-view buys in the U.S., which would shatter the existing record of 4.6 million buys for the Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight from 2015.
We'll have to see if White is correct about the Mayweather-McGregor fight bringing in the huge PPV numbers that he's speaking about. As far as the fight reaching 1 billion homes worldwide, we'll need to take White's word at that. I don't know if it will or won't. The money for the fight is coming from the U.S. That's where McGregor and Mayweather will be making their huge fortunes. Mayweather says he'll make $350 million. That's a lot of money for a fight that is considered to be a non-competitive fight.
"This is the biggest event that has ever happened in combat sports," Dana White said White via ESPN. "This fight will reach over a billion homes worldwide."
Even if the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight falls short of the predicted numbers from White, it'll still be a greater success than any of the fights we've seen recently. The PPV industry and has been down ever since Mayweather's fight with Pacquiao in 2015. The boxing public stopped purchasing fights at the same level as they had in the past. There haven't been too many great match-ups since the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. In a promising sign for the PPV industry, Saul Canelo Alvarez's fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. brought in over 1 million buys on HBO PPV. The only downside about that fight was how totally one-sided it was. It was a poor fight, lacking action and excitement. Golden Boy might have done better if they had done their homework and noted how heavy Chavez Jr. was when he started his training camp for the fight. He had to take off too much weight to get down to the 164.5 lb. catch-weight for the fight. The results saw Chavez Jr. looked skin and bones on the night of the fight
"Everything is tracking right now like we're going to kill this thing," White said.
This could be a disaster for White if McGregor pulls in far more than the $100 million that he was originally expected to make for the Mayweather fight. If McGregor is so filthy rich after fighting Mayweather on August 26, he might not want to come back to the UFC and make small money in comparison. There's also the possibility of a Mayweather-McGregor rematch in the octagon. Surely, McGregor will want to risk losing out on the Mayweather rematch by going back to the UFC and taking a risky fight that he could lose. McGregor is better off waiting to find out whether Mayweather will fight him in a rematch rather than returning to the UFC right away and fighting before the end of the year as he had originally planned to do.
After he faces Mayweather, McGregor says he'll "relax on my yacht and begin the counting game."
It would be amazing if McGregor makes $150 million for the fight. It's incredible money for a UFC fighter to get that kind of a paycheck for just 1 fight.
Mayweather-McGregor will likely break the gate record of $72 million set by Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao. Over $60 million worth of tickets have been sold already. The tickets remaining are the high-priced ones that the boxing fans and celebrities with deep pockets can afford. There are 3,000 more tickets available at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas compared to the MGM Grand in Vegas, which is where the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight took place 2 years ago. There's more money to be made with the extra 3,000 tickets, as long as the fight sells out. It's still not sold out though with 8 days to go.
Freddie Roach questions whether Paulie Malignaggi was paid to make McGregor look good during sparring
Trainer Freddie Roach wonders whether Malignaggi intentionally struggled against McGregor during his brief 2-day sparring stint with him. Roach was impressed with what he saw from McGregor of the clips of the sparring that were released by Dana White. Roach says McGregor has some power in his left hand, and he feels he's got some skills to potentially give Mayweather problems. Roach still wonders whether Malignaggi took it easy on McGregor during the sparring. Roach is hoping that's not the case.
"Paulie's a good kid, but did he really need money as a sparring partner," said trainer Freddie Roach to Fighthype.com in wondering why Malignaggi chose to volunteer to work as a sparring partner for McGregor. "I can't [understand]. It's very odd. I don't know. One guy active [McGregor], [and] one guy not [Malignaggi]," said Roach in discussing the circumstances surrounding the sparring between McGregor and Malignaggi.
Malignaggi has made a great deal of money during his boxing career, and in his job as a commentator. It's very strange to understand why a guy with the money that Malignaggi apparently has would want to work as a sparring partner for McGregor. Did Malignaggi do it for the money or more for the publicity that he would receive by having his name mentioned frequently as McGregor's best-known sparring partner? Malignaggi definitely received and is still getting a lot of attention from the boxing and MMA media. This is probably the most attention that Malignaggi has ever received in his life. His boxing career was not one in which he was talked about a great deal by the casual fans of the sport. Malignaggi nevr fought Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao. His biggest fight of his career was against Ricky Hatton years ago. Malignaggi was the B-side for that fight.
"Paulie looked like he got beat up a little bit," said Roach. "The tapes do show, but we don't know if the tape shows the other way. He looked pretty good. He had a strong left hand. He does have power. 3 or 4 times [McGregor landed good shots]. I was very surprised. It was good technique, but Paulie hasn't fought in a long, long time. He's an announcer. He did make a comeback fight. I don't think he's at Mayweather's level, but maybe he'll be able to do something," said Roach.
Malignaggi's face looked pretty beaten up from the leaked photos, but he didn't look nearly as bad in other photos taken days after the session. Malignaggi's face looked worse than it was. Malignaggi looked out of shape during the sparring. He wasn't the slender fighter that he fought last March in losing to Sam Eggington by an 8th round knockout. Malignaggi had clearly gained weight.
"He did fight a fighter that was a legitimate champion at one time," said Roach about Malignaggi being a world champion in the past. "But did Paulie do it on purpose? Was he paid to do it? Who knows? I hope not. It looked like a knockdown punch," said Roach about the knockdown the McGregor scored in his sparring session with Malignaggi,
That would be disappointing if Malignaggi fought under his level on purpose so that he would make McGregor look good to help him bring in more PPV buys for the fight. Roach clearly doesn't understand how Malignaggi would struggle against a non-boxer like McGregor. The sparring showed that McGregor has some pop in his punches. He lacks the hand speed of previous Mayweather opponent Saul Canelo Alvarez, but he's got decent speed.

Long-term follow-up on 33 TPR ankle joint replacements in 26 patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Niels C Jensen, Frank Linde
Foot and Ankle Surgery: Official Journal of the European Society of Foot and Ankle Surgeons 2009, 15 (3): 123-6
BACKGROUND: There exist very few long-term follow-up studies, on total ankle replacement (TAR). In the present study a cohort of rheumatoid arthritic (RA) were followed for up to 23 years.
METHODS: Thirty-three TAR were performed in 26 RA patients from 1980 to 1993. Removal of the prostheses and radiolucency was considered endpoints. All patients were followed to prosthesis failure or until death of the patients or until January 2008.
RESULTS: Two patients with 3 prostheses were still alive with their prosthesis in place. Eighteen patients with 23 prostheses had died with their prosthesis in place. Two patients had their ipsilateral leg amputated 12 and 14 years after operation of unrelated causes. Five prostheses in 4 patients had been removed. The 10 years prosthesis survival was 85%, when removal is the endpoint.
CONCLUSIONS: The long-term survival of this first generation type of TAR adds some optimism to the development of TAR.

Historic milestone reached in research into molten salt inside High Flux Reactor
At the end of this summer we reached a historic milestone by successfully concluding an irradiation test on molten nuclear fuel salts inside the High Flux Reactor in Petten. This is the first irradiation of its kind since the research carried out in the USA in the 1960s. irradiation tests of this kind form a crucial step in the development of molten salt reactor technology. This technology is promising in terms of both safety and economy, while having the potential to avoid release of long-living radioactive waste in severe accident scenarios.
Researcher Ralph Hania of NRG comments: 'Completing our work inside the reactor means we can now examine the irradiated salt more closely in the NRG labs. This means we'll really be able to see how the salt responds to irradiation in the reactor.'
SALIENT-01 is the first irradiation experiment conducted by NRG in the molten salt reactor research programme that started in 2015. Since pioneering the field at that time, it has maintained its head start on the international scene. And now, four years later, the concept of the thorium reactor is widely known in the energy sector as a promising solution to energy issues in the future.
The molten salt programme at NRG has expanded considerably since 2015, and comprises (among others) research into appropriate construction materials, processing and purification of molten salt, and processing residual products. There are more irradiation projects in the pipeline including an irradiation, scheduled for this autumn, of which the objective is to investigate radiolysis of salts. This process may occur when nuclear fuel salts cool down to near room temperature while in a radiation field, and results in the production ofgases. In addition, early in 2020 NRG will start an irradiation experiment in the High Flux Reactor to examine corrosion resistance of candidate materials (alloys) for construction of a molten salt reactor. This is a unique piece of research which will help bringing molten salt reactors closer to reality.
About NRG
NRG carries out nuclear-technological research in various fields, including the molten salt programme. This research comprises (among others) trial irradiations on nuclear materials and nuclear fuels in the HFR in Petten together with accompanyingpost-irradiation experiments, inspection methods and high-quality simulations of behaviour displayed by nuclear components and reactors. The research is partly funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
In addition, the High Flux Reactor is known worldwide for its major role in the manufacture of medical isotopes, which ensure that 30,000 patients can be treated every day. NRG develops new ways of using medical isotopes for diagnosing and treating life-threatening diseases.
About the Molten Salt Reactor
The molten salt reactor was invented by American nuclear physicist Alvin Weinberg. An experimental reactor operated in the American government laboratory in Oak Ridge back in the 1960s for five years. In its recent experiment, NRG is working with the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Karlsruhe, which has produced the salt samples and will investigate this together with NRG in Petten after irradiation. Part of this post-irradiation experiment will be carried out in connection with the new European research project SAMOSAFER, which will be coordinated by Delft University of Technology.

On This Day | Neil Taylor helps Wales progress at Euros
Neil Taylor was on target in Wales' 3-0 victory over Russia at the European Championship on June 20, 2016.
Taylor was one of two players who were then on Swansea City's books in action – the other was captain Ashley Williams – as the Dragons booked their place in the Euro 2016 knockout stages.
Former Swans Ben Davies and Joe Allen also started in Toulouse, while future loanee Andy King made an appearance from the bench.
Chris Coleman's Wales needed to beat Russia to guarantee their progress to the round of 16 in France, and made the perfect start when Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring after just 11 minutes.
Taylor was on hand to make it 2-0 with his first international goal just nine minutes later. The left-back was unmarked at the far post and, although his initial effort was blocked, he made no mistake at the second attempt.
The irrepressible Gareth Bale added a third in the second half and, following England's 0-0 draw with Slovakia, Wales topped Group B with six points from three games.

Spark of the Heart Owners' Rebound from Recession Was a Powerful Mix
Posted on April 23, 2015 April 23, 2015 by FamilyFarmed
Spark of the Heart, the start-up food business featured in this article, produces dry soup, salad, and sides mixes in Chicago. The company, owned by the married couple of Cynthia Zeki and Thomas Frierson, also is a member of the first class of Fellows in FamilyFarmed's Good Food Business Accelerator program.
The Accelerator's Demo Day @ 1871 on the evening of Monday, April 27 will provide an opportunity to hear presentations by the creative entrepreneurs behind the nine companies and mingle with them at a reception following the program. To learn more and register for the event, click here, and please check out the links to other Good Food on Every Table stories about the Good Food Business Accelerator.
One of the very few good things you can say about hard times, such as the recent Great Recession, is that they tend to unleash a lot of entrepreneurial energy. Many people whose careers and lives have been disrupted due to economic circumstances beyond their control apply creativity and their personal passions to battle their way back.
That was the case for Thomas Frierson and Cynthia Zeki, a married Chicago couple who four years ago started Spark of the Heart. Their company produces dry bean-based soup, salad and sides mixes based on recipes Zeki developed to feed their family over the years.
There was nothing in either of their backgrounds that suggested a second career in the food business. Zeki, previously a professor, was a massage therapist and energy healer with her own practice and an Internet radio show. Frierson had worked in technology sales for 20 years. But, as they explained in an email interview, they were hit hard by the recession.
"We started Spark of the Heart when all our money was just about gone," they wrote.
Spark of the Heart's mixes are colorful, convenient, and tasty
Zeki and Frierson found that everyone who tasted their products enjoyed them. Zeki said, "Customers liked that we are socially responsible, and said they could taste the love in each bite!"
By faith, tenacity, networking, participation in lots of tasting events, and some serendipity that involved being discovered by a local supermarket chain, the Spark of the Heart owners grew the market for their product. Yet, they say, "Money has always been our biggest challenge… we've always struggled to fund and build our business."
That issue is one that made Spark of the Heart an apt candidate for the first class of nine entrepreneurial Fellows in FamilyFarmed's Good Food Business Accelerator. Launched last fall, the program provides its Fellows with learning experiences, mentorship, and access to FamilyFarmed's extensive network of business experts, as well as financiers who have a strong interest in investing or lending money to small businesses in the Good Food sector.
"This program has introduced us to many professionals in the food industry (as well as general business) whose expertise has taught us about all the different facets of running a highly successful food business," Frierson and Zeki wrote. Frierson was a panelist during a discussion of the Accelerator program and the company was an exhibitor during Family Farmed's Good Food Festival & Conference March 19-21.

The experience will be capped on the evening of Monday, April 27 when Spark of the Heart will participate in the Accelerator program's Demo Day @ 1871. Owners of the nine participating companies will do presentations about their businesses at the event — which takes place at 1871, the center for entrepreneurial innovation located in the historic Merchandise Mart — and will be available for conversation at a reception that follows. For more information and to register for the event, click here.
Growing on the Go
There is another important reason why Spark of the Heart fits well into the Accelerator program. Their product line embodies the rising consumer interest in adapting "convenience" foods to the health, nutrition, and ecologic concerns that have fueled the rapid development of the Good Food movement.
"To prepare our soups, all you need to do is boil water and simmer," they explained. "For our beans and rice dishes, you just add water and a bit of oil to keep the rice from sticking to the pan. Our bean salads come complete as well, with a vinaigrette mix that you toss with vinegar and oil."
"Because we use real ingredients — organic or freeze-dried beans, air-dried veggies, spices, and jasmine rice — our products are all naturally vegan and gluten-free," they continued. "All of our products are non-GMO as well."
Zeki started developing these recipes years ago after picking up a commercial dry soup mix, thinking it would save time, and discovered it was both inconvenient — it required the addition of meat, vegetables, and other ingredients — and replete with fillers, thickening agents, and a lot of sodium that she did not want to feed her family. She started sharing her homemade preparations with neighbors "to rave reviews."
Yet their decision to turn those recipes into a business was unplanned. It was not until they produced a couple of cases of what became Spark of the Heart's original products for a café at their church, and sold out, that the spark of a business idea emerged.
The couple put together a sales kit, and quickly got their first big break. They gave a sample of their product to a woman who worked at a store in Chicago's small Treasure Island chain, who gave it to the grocery manager. The product happened to be sitting on the manager's desk when the owner came in, spotted it, took it home to prepare — and then ordered Spark of the Heart products for all of Treasure Island's outlets.
"All of this happened within nine months," Zeki and Frierson said.
Having determined that there is a market for their products, the owners are seeking to scale up to ensure continued financial viability, which in turn inspired them to apply for the Good Food Business Accelerator program. They are positively effusive about the program's benefits.
"There are no words to express how grateful we are and how much we have benefitted from this program…," they said. "The support, encouragement, and dedication of all the folks at FamilyFarmed have helped us create a vision and road map for growing our business larger than we ever thought possible before. The camaraderie and shared experiences of the other Fellows in the Accelerator, along with the resources available at 1871, has taught us new ways to collaborate."
This spirit of collaboration will be on display at the Accelerator's Demo Day event. The Fellows will share their stories about creativity, continuing business education, the importance of networking, and other factors that breed entrepreneurial success.
And in Frierson's and Zeki's case, faith and determination.

Ninety-nine percent of American households live with a personal hypnotist.
American children are exposed an average of four hours per day―that is 28 hours a week, 2,400 hours a year and nearly 18,000 hours by the time they graduate from high school―to this personal hypnotist. In comparison, they spend only 13,000 hours in school, from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
Sixty percent of what this personal hypnotist offers is violence, at a rate of about five violent acts per hour.
This personal hypnotist presents to the average American child 12,000 violent acts each year, amounting to about 200,000 violent acts by the time the child reaches 18 years old.
From all the time spent with this personal hypnotist children learn aggressive attitudes and behaviors, they become desensitized to real world violence, and may develop fear of being victimized by violence.
Young children, especially those younger than age seven, often cannot distinguish the reality from the fantasy that this personal hypnotist presents to them. However, they are capable of imitating and learning from the violence presented by their personal hypnotist.
In a University of Illinois study, people who were exposed to the most violence presented by this personal hypnotist between birth and age eight committed the most serious crimes by age 30.
A national opinion poll shows that 80% of Americans believe that the violence presented by this personal hypnotist is harmful to society.
This personal hypnotist is the most violent in the world.
WHO IS THIS PERSONAL HYPNOTIST?
In the early days of television, people strained to watch fuzzy black and white images on tiny screens. Black and white Polaroid photographs of the day had more realism than broadcast television. Today people dedicate whole living areas to watching large screen television in glorious high definition color accompanied by the sound of house shaking and body vibrating sound systems that more than ever create a realistic sensory experience.
It's a fact that the subconscious mind cannot tell reality from fantasy, and that the more learning channels—like: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell—that are activated during suggestions the more effective those suggestions become. It is also true that repetition is another way for suggestions to work their way into the subconscious mind.
Young children have not developed the critical mental facility to process and reject the violence that television delivers to them hour after hour, day after day. The violence they come to accept at such a young age may influence them for the rest of their life.
Control the content that your children view.
3D television is poised to raise the viewing experience to a whole new level of realism. How many more years before researchers conclude that 3D television has similar, or worse, effects on our children?
This riddle is based upon facts about how television effects children extracted in part from Federal Communications Commission Fact Sheet on the V-chip.

Q: Best way to approach a Multiple Choice exam I have an exam tomorrow with 100 multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 options, only 1 is correct.
If I answer the question and get it right, I get 1 mark.
If I leave it blank, I get 0.
If I answer incorrectly, I lose 0.25 marks.
How should one approach the test? Mathematically/statistically are my odds better if I guess if I don't know the answer?

A: Imagine if you had $4$ questions you don't understand.
If you leave them blank, you will get a mark of $0$.
If you guess all of them, the expected result is getting $1$ right and $3$ wrong. This will get you an expected mark of: $$1-3(0.25)=0.25$$
Therefore it is better to guess than to leave questions blank.

A: If you can eliminate at least one choice on a question, then you should guess from the remaining choices.

A concerned resident has advised Zambians not to approve the exit from the International Criminal Court (ICC) as directed by the African Union.
Vincent Kazhila says most African states and Zambia in particular have weak democratic systems adding that pulling out of the ICC will promote injustice among political leaders.
Mr. Kazhila who is also a political science scholar has observed that ICC is the anchor of justice adding that most African leaders calling for the withdraw of the AU member states from the Hague are those that want to hold on to power.
And governance activist Leslie Chikuse has charged that it is immature for some stakeholders to call for the withdrawal of Zambia's membership from the ICC.
Mr Chikuse has told Komboni Radio news that the withdrawal from the ICC maybe seen by some people as a maneuver by the PF government to run away from the electoral petition by the UPND.
He notes that the withdrawal of the country's membership from the ICC will only promote injustice by most African leaders.

What I have been doing all week.
Watching Friday Night Lights.
Seriously, that's it. I lost my voice over the weekend, and since Mike's in DC I'm lying low to try and get it back (mission accomplished). Netflix Instant has Friday Night Lights, and I have watched the entire first season in the last week. I love football (really), I love Explosions in the Sky, and, by dint of living with Mike, I love Texas. This show wraps it all up into a soapy teen package, and I have copious amount of warm feelings for it.
But I am also kind of glad that only the first season is on Instant, as I was getting a little OOC and am glad to have my life back. At least until Mike gets hooked, and then I watch it all over again with him.
ALSO, the same guy does the music as did for The West Wing. W.G. Snuffy Walden, I love you.
Um, Genevieve - I'm exceptionally pleased that you have been watching Friday Night Lights. Pretty much every episode in the first season makes me cry at some point. It's just too beautiful for this world. Let me know if you ever want to dish about Matt Saracen and his heart made of gold.
I do, Jennifer, and I think it was your early endorsement that made me feel ok with watching it in the first place.
Also, did you know that Ashley Hartz used to date Matt Saracen? Because it's true. Well, she dated the actor that plays him, anyway.
OMG I have the biggest boner in the UNIVERSE for Tim Riggins! He is so well meaning! And misunderstood! And fragile! But strong and hothothot. AHHH.
Also, WHAT?!?!? When and how and when did Ashley date Matt Saracen????
I am flipping out so much right now.
Ok, I have Hartzy's express permission to let you know that she dated him for a few months, was on set for a total of two weeks or so, and that he is not at all like his character.
I feel creepy writing this, but I'll continue.
He wrote on her Facebook wall in April and visited her here last month. There is some show gossip that she shared with me that I can tell you about in a non-public arena.
I am also pretending he told her that the dude who plays Tim Riggins is exactly like his character, and is interested in entering into a polygamous relationship with myself and my Texan boyfriend.
We used to work together (he's an outdoor ed instructor in a former life) and I guess it all started the night we got drunk, hooked up in the woods and passed out using a hiking boot as a pillow.
Do I get extra street cred now?
Oh, and sorry to kill the dreams, but he as a lovely and beautiful girlfriend now. But I will let you know if he comes to the city anytime soon.
Wow. I am OMG-ing all over the place. Must. Settle. Down.
Ashley, you get so much street cred for the hiking boot pillow.
And G, since we both want to maintain our current beaus anyway, do you think we can share Tim Riggins in polygamous-fantasy-land?
Boggled again.
I guess it is kind of lame for me to love Google j...

Q: TYPO3: how to migrate userFunc TypoScript condition to Symfony Expression Language? How can I migrate this TypoScript condition to be fully compatible with the Symfony Expression Language for conditions in TYPO3 9.5?
[userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::isLoaded('fluid_styled_content')]

A: You'd have to provide your own functions at the moment.
There is a tutorial here: https://usetypo3.com/symfony-expression-language-in-typo3.html
But basically you'd have the file yourext/Configuration/ExpressionLanguage.php with content like:
<?php

return [
    'typoscript' => [
        \Vendor\Yourext\ExpressionLanguage\ConditionProvider::class
    ]
];

This registers a condition provider for the typoscript context.
For adding simple functions you need to set function provider classes to the expressionLanguageProviders of that class.
Which might look like this:
<?php

namespace Vendor\Yourext\ExpressionLanguage;

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\ExpressionLanguage\AbstractProvider;

class ConditionProvider extends AbstractProvider
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->expressionLanguageProviders = [
            UtilitiesConditionFunctionsProvider::class,
            SomeOtherConditionFunctionsProvider::class,
            AThirdConditionFunctionsProvider::class,
        ];
    }
}

(Maybe even set it on the property directly, instead of using the constructor, but that's what I did).
Those function providers need to implement the \Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionFunctionProviderInterface interface, which is basically just a getFunctions method that needs to return an array of \Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionFunction instances.
My UtilitiesConditionFunctionsProvider looks like this:
<?php

namespace Vendor\Yourext\ExpressionLanguage;

use Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionFunction;
use Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionFunctionProviderInterface;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility;

class UtilitiesConditionFunctionsProvider implements ExpressionFunctionProviderInterface
{

    /**
     * @return ExpressionFunction[] An array of Function instances
     */
    public function getFunctions()
    {
        return [
            $this->getIntersectsFunction(),
            $this->getExtensionLoadedFunction(),
        ];
    }

    /**
     * @return ExpressionFunction
     */
    protected function getIntersectsFunction()
    {
        return new ExpressionFunction('intersects', function () {
            // Not implemented, we only use the evaluator
        }, function ($arguments, $left, $right) {
            return count(array_intersect($left, $right)) > 0;
        });
    }

    protected function getExtensionLoadedFunction()
    {
        return new ExpressionFunction('loaded', function () {
            // Not implemented, we only use the evaluator
        }, function ($arguments, $extKey) {
            return ExtensionManagementUtility::isLoaded($extKey);
        });
    }
}

With that it's now possible to use intersects( ... ) and loaded( ... ) in my conditions.
