Once you've integrated the latest Flurry SDK and uploaded your credentials, it's time to send yourself a test push.
On the right-side of the page, you'll see the live preview of your Push campaign, which shows an approximation of the push as it would appear upon receipt on a user's device.
If the Send button is grayed out, it will become active as soon as you cut and paste the ID. Note: If it the send button does not become active, that indicates that you haven't yet uploaded your push credentials. In order to send push notifications through Flurry Push, including test pushes, you must first upload your credentials in Admin > Apps.
If you see an error message, look for the error key in the red error message. Then use the test push troubleshooting documentation do diagnose and fix the issue.
On iOS, you will see the options to send to either the "IDFA/IDFV" or Push Token. Note that the IDFA and IDFV are interchangeable for test push purposes. You can enter either and we'll send to the push token associated with the ID if we have it.
Getting the IDFA is straightforward on most iPhones. Go to your phones Settings, then look for an option called Privacy. Next click on Advertising. Here you should be able to find the ID For Advertisers (IDFA).
You can also use the following code to get the IDFA.
Another option is to find an app from the iPhone app store which can provide the IDFA for your phone.
Connect the iPhone to a computer.
Click the triangle in the bottom left hand corner of the device window in Xcode to show console logs.
Search for for the ids.idfv parameter in the console log.
On Android, you will see the options to send to either the "Advertising ID" or Push Token.
To retrieve the current token, call FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken().
Flurry will deliver to push tokens associated with the device ID/token you provide when sending the test push.
If you input a sandbox token for test push, Flurry will send through the sandbox APNs endpoint.
If you input a production token for test push, Flurry will send the push through the production endpoint.
If you input an IDFA/IDFV, Flurry will retrieve the push token associated with the IDFA/ODFA and send the push through the environment associated with that token.
If you only provide a valid Production Cert, Flurry will deliver your campaigns through the APNs Production endpoint to devices which have production push tokens.
If you only provide a valid Development Cert, Flurry will deliver your campaigns through the APNs Sandbox endpoint to devices which have sandbox push tokens.
If you provide both a Development Cert and a Production Cert, Flurry will smartly deliver notifications based on the environment of the push tokens we have for the specified app.
If you successfully send a test push through test push functionality but don't receive a message from a campaign, doublecheck the Flurry API key of the app you are testing against the Flurry API key of the app you selected for the campaign.


Narishige SBP-2: Anti-vibration Base Plate - Tritech Research, Inc.
This anti-vibration base plate is designed to go underneath the microscope. The SBP-2 is a spring-loaded anti-vibration base plate. With no use of air or electricity, the SBP-2 is maintenance-free and provides greater resistance to vibration than conventional rubber isolators. Unlike a rectangular-shaped plate, the completely flat top plate is shaped to fit with the bottom of the microscope, thereby allowing the controllers of hydraulic manipulators or injectors to be placed in easy-to-operate positions without causing interference with the plate.
When micromanipulating, this base plate is recommended for the reduction of vibration through the microscope itself. For a lower-cost microscope anti-vibration system, take a look at our MINJ-AVP.

Q: How is consistency maintained in transactional systems in the event of a power outage? How is consistency maintained in transactional systems in the event of a power outage?
For example, consider the operation below that are performed within a transaction.
UPDATE table SET someColumn = someColumn + 1 WHERE <whatever>

In the event of a sudden power outage, how can we ensure that the operation is completed or not?
From SQL server docs:

SQL Server uses a write-ahead logging (WAL) algorithm, which guarantees that no data modifications are written to disk before the associated log record is written to disk. This maintains the ACID properties for a transaction. ... The log records must be written to disk before the associated dirty page is removed from the buffer cache and written to disk.

As far as I understand, using the example of the SQL increment operation above, the following operations occur:

*

*Write a record to the transaction log.

*Flush changes to disk.

When a sudden shutdown occurs, how does the system know if the incremental operation has completed? How does it understand from when to rollback? (a shutdown can occur after adding a log to transaction log, but before flushing changes to disk, is it?)
And I have another (second) question, it is similar to this one.
How can we guarantee atomicity? For example,
UPDATE table SET someColumn = someColumn + 1 AND otherColumn = otherColumn + 2 WHERE <whatever>

How can we ensure that in the event of a sudden power off, the field otherColumn will also be updated, or no fields will be updated?

A: Write-Ahead Logging (WAL).  See eg Transaction Log Architecture

a shutdown can occur after adding a log to transaction log, but before flushing changes to disk, is it?

Log records are added to the transaction log in memory, but when a transaction is committed SQL Server waits for confirmation that all the log records have been written to durable media.  And on restart the transaction will be rolled back if all its log records haven't been flushed to disk.
And SQL Server requires the storage system to flush changes to disk, disabling any non-persistent write caching.

The Canadian Football League (CFL) season begins this weekend and, despite it is lengthy history and strong ties to Canadian identity and heritage, there is surprisingly little scholarship about the CFL – and, I suppose I've always wondered why this rich source of material has generated so little attention.
If you are unfamiliar with Canadian football – and the CFL in particular – there are sources of background information. There are a few key points, however. First, it has been around for a while – in various guises, mind you – and pre-dates the National Football League (NFL) in the US by quite a distance. Secondly, though it looks quite similar to NFL/American football, it has many rule variations – such as one fewer down, a wider and longer field – that make it a different game to that which is played in the US. It also has a quota system for Canadian players – so, teams must field a certain number of Canadians rather than simply employ plentiful (and cheap) American talent. Finally, the championship game/trophy – the Grey Cup – will be awarded for the 101st time this season and is one of the country's most beloved Canadian sporting traditions, adding to the whole history/heritage dynamic of the sport and league.
The CFL is also a bit of a cultural marker for many Canadians, as the game's differences are, perhaps, part of a microcosm of Canadians' impressions of themselves vis-a-vis the US. To wit, to the untrained eye, Canadian football and American football are the same. However, there are subtile differences in the Canadian game which makes it unique and distinctive from its American counterpart. These distinctions, emphasized through some CFL marketing slogans such as the This is Our League campaign, have positioned support for the CFL as a form of nationalism.
I can't claim to be a CFL expert by any means, but it is surprising that there hasn't been more written about the CFL. In academia, I only know of a few history/sociology/geography articles that deal with the CFL (though, I am sure there may be others). This paper, in particular, is cited frequently in interdisciplinary sport scholarship, as it deals with history and sociology (not to mention heritage's cousin, nostalgia). There are some popular coffee-table-esque tomes available, a few memoirs from past players, coaches, and commissioners, and there's even a self-published (and, from what I understand, thoroughly researched) history of the CFL – but, remarkably little else from what I can tell. From my vantage point, the CFL is really ripe ground for budding sport researchers of all stripes. I am certainly trying to incorporate aspects of the CFL into my own teaching and research. I use the CFL in both my sport tourism and heritage tourism classes at Clemson and, in a forthcoming paper in Tourism Geographies with Dr. Tom Hinch from the University of Alberta, we look at the Grey Cup festival as a type of heritage sport tourism. It is a source that simply provides some really good, and very relevant material. Yet, it is largely ignored…and I don't know why.

I noticed on one of my favourite Norwegian blogs yesterday that they've received their first dusting of snow up there - brrrrr! There isn't any in the South of Sweden yet (although I'd love some to arrive in time for Christmas) but it is getting a tad dark. I think that's why I love this Swedish home today - it has a beautiful warm glow to it. The neutral shades. the rattan, the wood. The parquet flooring. And of course, the room used as an artist's studio. Not to mention the prettiest cat! Can you spot her?!
Did you spot the kitty cat?! She's super cute (and fits right in amongst the greys!) - incidentally Off black by F&B is a similar paint hue to that gorgeous dark grey on the guest bedroom wall.
Items I know and love: &tradition mass light, flos 265 lamp, DLM side table, source a similar macrame wall hanging here. Safari daybed. Brass dumling table lamp (although I think I prefer this fine specimen of a floor lamp!), sheepskin throw, Fancy finger pillow.
The man and I are planning a three day hike in Norway next year (I've been waiting to do a hut to hut as long as I can remember). The lodging is going to be uber important to rest my weary feet (next to a roaring fire of course!)- I'm imagining it to look like this rustic cabin hide-away?! If that's the case - better extend it to a week?! Cabin tips welcome!
Do you have any holiday plans for next year?
PS I snuck in a late night post of a Zen Swedish home yesterday (in case you missed it....).
Love the bedside shelf with built in light, and books piled up add an instant personal touch to a space. It's interesting to see more sliding doors working their way back in, the more practical minded (not me!)/space savy individuals would certainly appreciate that.
I can't believe the cat even fits in with the colour scheme!!! These people are fully committed!
Love these blogs that promote scandinavian design. I have a passion for nordic vintage lights, and it is interesting to see them in the various contexts on your site. Keep up the good work!
Dark walls, white window frames and a small space? I love it!

I'm a Celebrity star Emily Atack's mum heads to Sheffield, not the jungle!
The mother of I'm a Celebrity runner-up Emily Atack has her own exotic journey next year – but in the theatre, not the jungle.
However, it's a trip back to the 1980s that beckons for actress and singer Kate.
The Eighties were good to Kate. She represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest, scored a Top 10 single, landed a role in Crossroads, starred in her own TV series, married and gave birth to her first child.
She also provided many of the voices for ITV's satirical puppet show, Spitting Image.
"The 1980s was most important decade of my life," she said.
So she feels at home in the musical, in which she plays Consuela, the grumpy Spanish hotel chambermaid.
Set to a soundtrack of some of the most iconic hits of the 80s, the story unfolds in the vibrant Club Tropicana Hotel.
When a bride and groom get cold feet, they decide to jet off to sunnier climes anyway - but little do they realise they've checked into the same hotel, which is also about to get a visit from the hotel inspectors. Can Consuela help save the day?
Kate is part of a cast that includes X Factor winner Joe McElderry, ex-EastEnder Neil McDermott and former Sugababe Amelle Berrabah, making her musical theatre debut.
"When they said I could do some impressions as Consuela I thought, 'What a great opportunity to do a sort of Mrs Overall meets Manuel from Fawlty Towers, so that's what I did. I thought, 'I'll just be very silly with it," she said.
She has had a holiday home in Spain for the last 20 years. Kate said: "I know the way the Spanish people speak and I decided to make her bad-tempered, based on a lady I know in Spain who always tells me '...grand pantalones para mi papa'." That means 'I have to buy big trousers for my father'!
The impressions Kate does in the show include Cilla Black, and although Conseula doesn't sing it, Cilla's theme song from Surprise Surprise features. Kate wrote it for the Liverpool singer.
"I'm thrilled my song is being used," she said, recalling: "Cilla had been to my house with Paul McCartney, who is my cousin, when I was a tiny little girl, but I only really met her when I got commissioned to do that song.
Kate spoke of another 80s highlight: "1980 was very important to me because it was the year I did my first television. I represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest. I was in a group called Prima Donna, there were six of us, and we went to The Hague and came third.

Vincent van Gogh's Biography
Van Gogh and his brother's Letters
The full source of Van Gogh's life is the correspondence between him and his younger brother, Theo van Gogh. Their closeness and Vincent's perceptions of art are recorded in hundreds of letters exchanged between the brothers in 1872-1890. Theo van Gogh was selling art and supporting his brother both financially and mentally, as well as establishing his connection with influential people in contemporary art.
Theo kept all of Vincent's letters, Vincent kept some of his brother's letters. After the death of the two, Theo's widow, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, published some of their letters: they were published in 1906-1913. Most of the letters were published in 1914. Vincent's letters are eloquent and expressive, close to the journal style and read like a biography. Translator Arnold Pomerance wrote that their correspondence "gives Van Gogh a new opportunity to comprehend the art presented by the artist himself."
About 600 letters sent by his brother Van Gogh have been retained, while only 40 of Theo's letters have been received. Twenty-two letters were addressed to their sister Will van Gogh, 58 to artist Anton van Rapper, 22 to Emil Bernard. Separate letters are addressed to Paul Sneak, Paul Gogen, and critic Albert Aurie. Some of the letters are illustrated. Many letters are not dated, but artists have been able to arrange them in chronological order. There are problems with enumeration and legibility with the letters sent from the Arl. These letters are about 200 and are written in Dutch, French, and English. The correspondence is open to the period when the brothers lived in Paris together and did not need correspondence.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in the family of a spiritual shepherd living in the Dutch village of Funders. Vincent was the eldest of the deceased children of Theodore Van Gogh and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. The baby was given the name of his grandfather and brother who died a year before he was born. The name Vincent was very common in this family. The name was named after painter Vincent, who graduated from the University of Leiden in 1811 with a degree in theology. She had six children, three of whom were involved in the art business. This Vincent may also have been named in honor of his sculptor grandfather.
Van Gogh's mother was from a safe family in The Hague. The artist's father and mother met when Anna Cornellia's younger sister married Theodore's older brother Vincent. Van Gogh's parents married in May 1851 and moved to Funders. Brother Theo was born on May 1, 1857. They had another brother named Core, and three sisters, Elizabeth, Anna, and Vilhelmina. Late in life, Vincent van Gogh only kept in touch with Theo and Will. Van Gogh's mother was a demanding, God-fearing woman, and she attached great importance to the role of the family. Theodore's father's salary was modest, but the church provided him with a home, a maid, two cooks, a gardener, a chariot and a horse, and Anna took on the task of maintaining the family's high social status.
Van Gogh was a serious and thoughtful child. He was educated by his mother and a home educator, and in 1860 he was sent to a rural school. In 1864 he settled in the Schevenbergen boarding school, where he felt lonely and abandoned, expressing a desire to return home. Instead, in 1866 his parents sent him to Tilburg Secondary school, which he was very unhappy with. The future artist has shown interest in art from an early age. He painted his mother, these paintings are remarkable. Constant Cornell Kaimsmans, a successful artist in Paris, taught in Tilburg. His philosophy was to give up the technology in favor of expressive things, especially the depiction of nature. Van Gogh's misery overshadowed the lessons, making them useless. In March 1868 he returned home. He later wrote that his childhood was "harsh, cold, and fruitless."
In July 1869, Van Gogh's uncle became a member of the Goupil & Cie Company, an art dealer. After completing his education, he moved to the London branch of the company in 1873, located on Southampton Street, and rented an apartment on Hackford Road. This season was happy for Van Gogh. he was successful in his job and at the age of twenty, he had already earned more than his father. Later, Theo's wife said that this period was the happiest period of Van Gogh's life. He is attracted to his mistress, daughter of Eugene Loyer, but is soon turned down after his feelings are revealed. Van Gogh is becoming more isolated and enthusiastic. His father and uncle arranged for him to move to Paris in 1875, where he disagreed with a company that sold artworks, resulting in his dismissal a year later.
In April 1876, Van Gogh returned to England to receive a teaching job at the Ramsgate Boarding School. When the owner of the school moved to Isleworth Little City, Van Gogh followed him but did not continue his teacher work there and became an assistant minister. During this time, Vincent's parents moved to Etienne-Leure. In 1876 Vincent van Gogh returned home on Christmas Eve and worked at the Dordrecht Bookstore for about six months. He was not satisfied with his position and spent his time drawing or translating Bible passages into English, French, and German. He delves deep into the faith and becomes godly. According to a friend of the artist's roommate, Paulus van Giorlitz, Van Gogh was sparingly fed, almost eating no meat.
In 1877, to maintain his religious faith and become a priest, the family traveled to Amsterdam with his uncle, Johann Stricker, but did not take exams there and left the uncle's house in July 1878. He also spent a three-month course at the Lachen Protestant preaching school, not far from Brussels.
In January 1879, he became a publisher in the village of Petit Wassem, in Bornaj, a poor mining area. To support the religious community, he abandoned his comfortable home and moved to a small hut where he slept on a straw, but his efforts were not supported by church authorities who dismissed him "for humiliating the priest." After that, he traveled 75 kilometers Brussels too, Bornajes, but returned to Etienne on his parents' request. He stayed there until March 1880, causing anxiety and frustration among his parents. The father, who stated that his son should stay in Chile's psychiatric hospital, was particularly upset.
Van Gogh returned to Cuesse in 1880, where he worked as a miner until October. He became interested in people, events with them and painted them after Theo suggested that he take art seriously. At the end of the year, following Theo's advice, he traveled to Brussels and took painting lessons from artist William Ruloffs, who, despite being unfriendly to regular art schools, advised him to attend the 'Royal De Boer Art' Academy. In October 1880, Van Gogh enrolled at the Academy, where he studied mathematics and standard rules of modeling and outlook.
Etienne-Leure, Drenthe and The Hague
Van Gogh returned to Ete in April 1881 to continue living with his parents. He continued to paint, using his neighbors as his master. In April 1881 they are hosted by the daughter of the painter's elder sister, Wilhelmina and Johannes Stricker, Cornelia. Cornelia was seven years older than Van Gogh. The artist amazes everyone with his announcement that he has fallen in love with Cornelia and offered his a marriage, but he declines, saying: No, nay, never. "When Cornelia returns to Amsterdam, Van Gogh travels to The Hague to sell his paintings and meet another cousin, painter Anton Mauve, spend on coal and paste to develop painting techniques the artist, following this advice, returns to Ete.
Mauwen Van Gogh receives a pupil and introduces him to the watercolor technique that the artist had already worked on the following month before returning home for Christmas. He argued with his father, refusing to attend church, and traveled to The Hague. Within a month, Van Gogh and Mauve are out of orders, possibly because of gypsum statues. Van Gogh could not afford a second hire, most likely this would not encourage Mauwen either. In June, Van Gogh spends three months in the hospital diagnosed with sausage. After leaving the hospital, he began painting with a watercolor he had bought with the money he borrowed from Theo. He liked the environment. The artist wrote that he was also surprised at how good the result was.
In March 1882, the relationship between the artist and Mauve was probably strained, and the latter no longer responded to his letters. She learns about Van Gogh's new companion, Clazina Maria Hoornick, who was a lightweight woman with a small daughter. Van Gogh met his in 1882 when he was pregnant and had a five-year-old daughter. Earlier, the woman also had two children who died, but Van Gogh did not know. In July she has a son, William. When Van Gogh's father learns of his son's intimacy, he pressures his son to leave Sien and his two children. At first, Vincent refused to carry out his father's order, thinking of moving the family out of town, but in 1883 he abandons Sien and his children.
Poverty may have pushed Siena into prostitution. The family has become less happy, and Van Gogh has realized that the family is incompatible with his development as an artist. Clasina handed the daughter to her mother and William to her brother. Willem later recalled that he visited Rotterdam at the age of 12 when his uncle forced Sienna to marry and legalize the baby. He thought that Van Gogh was his father, but his birth makes that version unlikely. Sien was strangled in the Sheld River in 1904.
In September 1883 Van Gogh moved to the north of the Netherlands - Drenthe. He returned to live with his parents in December, after which he left for North Brabant, Nouine.
Niuean and Antwerp (1883-1886)
At Nuenen, Van Gogh focuses on painting. Working very fast, he painted canvases and their huts. Since August 1884, a neighbor's daughter, Margo Begeman, who has been a painter for ten years, joins his. Margot fell in love with the artist, and Van Gogh responded with mutual love, but less enthusiasm. They wanted to get married, but the family of either party did not support that decision. Margot desperately accepts a dose of strychnine but does not die as Van Gogh manages to take his to a nearby hospital. On March 26, 1885, the artist's father dies of a heart attack.
Van Gogh painted a series of still life in 1885. During his two-year stay in Nuenen, he painted some 200 paintings with watercolor and oil paints. His palette consisted mainly of dark colors, especially dark brown, and showed no sign of vivid coloring, which marks the artist's later creative period.
In early 1885, his paintings aroused interest in a Paris merchant. Theo asks Van Gogh if he has drawings ready for the show. In May, the artist responds to his first large-scale work, "Potato Eaters," a series of "exploring the characteristics of villagers." The painting was the culmination of several years of work. When he complains that Theo does not make enough effort to sell his paintings in Paris, the brother responds that they are too gloomy and do not conform to the vivid style of Impressionism. In August, Van Gogh's work is being presented at an art exhibition in The Hague. In September 1885 one of the peasants who served the artist became pregnant. Van Gogh is accused of violating the peasant's will, and a village priest forbids villagers to serve as painters.
In November, Van Gogh moves to the upper floor of the Antwerp and leases a paint shop. Here he lived in poverty, malnourished, preferring to spend his brother's money on painting materials and materials. The main components of his diet consisted of bread, coffee, and tobacco. In February 1886, he wrote to Theo that he had only tasted hot food 5-6 times since May. His teeth began to move and groan. In Antwerp, Van Gogh began to study color theory, particularly interested in Rubens' work and enriching his palette colors including carmine, emerald, bright blue. Van Gogh bought Japanese ukiyo-e carvings, later incorporating them in some of his paintings. During this time, he again began to get drunk and was hospitalized in February-March 1886, where he was also treated for syphilis.
After healing, despite his dislike for academic art, Van Gogh took entrance exams at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and entered the painting department in January. He suffers from overwork, poor nutrition, and too much smoking. He began painting classes in January 1886 after studying gypsum models at the Antwerp Academy. The artist soon has trouble for the director of the academy, the teacher of painting Charles Verlag for the non-traditional style of painting. He also clashes with Franz Wink, the head of the painting class. He finally began to attend painting lessons taught by Eugene Sikvidt. Soon there is a conflict between Sibert and Van Gogh when the latter refuses to comply with Sibert's request. When they were supposed to paint Milosos Venus at the studio, Van Gogh paints the flawless body of a Flemish peasant. Sibert views it as disobedience to his leadership, and in Van Gogh's painting, he begins to make pencil adjustments with such force that he tears it apart. Van Gogh is furious and screams at Sibert. "You probably don't know what a young woman is going to do for a writer. A woman should have thighs, buttocks, a hip to carry a baby. " According to some reports, this was Van Gogh's last lesson at the academy, after which he left for Paris. On March 31, 1886, a month after the dispute with Siebert, the academy's lecturers decided that 17 academy students, including Van Gogh, should repeat the course. The view that Van Gogh expelled Siberten from the academy is not justified.
Paris (1886-1888)
In March 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris, where he and his brother, Theo, lived on Laval Street in Montmartre and studied at Fernand Cormon's studio. In June, the brothers rented a large apartment on Lepik Street. In Paris, Vincent painted portraits of friends and acquaintances, still life, offshore scenes of Moulin de Los Galet, Montmartre, Aniere, Senna. As early as 1885 in Antwerp he had begun to inquire about the Japanese ukiyo-e carvings, using them to decorate the walls of his studio. He has collected hundreds of such engravings in Paris. He created Japanese-themed paintings, painted the Japanese image of the cover of Paris Illustre magazine, which subsequently graphically enlarged the canvas.
Seeing paintings by Adolph Monticelli in the gallery, Van Gogh adopted a brighter palette displayed in the maritime landscape of St. Mary's 1888. Two years after Vincent and Theo were paid to publish a book on Monticelli's paintings, Vincent bought some of Monticelli's work for his collection.
Van Gogh learned about Theo from Fernando Cormon's studio in Theo and worked there from April to May 1886, often visiting Australian painter John Peter Russell. In 1886 Russell painted his portrait. Van Gogh also interacted with the students of Emil Bernard Luis Einquitini, Henry de Toulouse-Lautrec, and the latter painted a portrait of Vincent. They met at Julien Tangi's paint shop. In 1886 two major exhibitions were organized here, for the first time presenting works in the style of Poinantialism and Neo-Impressionism, which attracted the attention of George Siora and Paul Sneak. Theon Montmartre had impressionist painters in his showroom, but Van Gogh was still in no hurry to embrace new art trends.
There is a dispute among the brothers. Living with Theon Vincent in 1886 is considered "almost unbearable". In early 1887 they split up, and Vincent moved to the northern suburb of Paris, Anaire, where he met Sinai. He adopts elements of pointillism, a technique that manifests itself on the canvas with numerous small brushstrokes that make the images depicted visible from afar. The style emphasizes additional colors, including blue and orange, creating a striking contrast.
In the air, Van Gogh painted parks, restaurants, Sena scenes, Sena bridges. In November 1887, Theo and Vincent befriended Paul Gogen, who had just arrived in Paris. At the end of the year, Vincent organized a photo exhibition with Emil Bernard, Luis Einquitain and possibly Toulouse-Lautrec at the Grand Bourbon du Shale restaurant in Montmartre. In his chronicle, Bernard noted that the exhibition presented what was at that time in Paris. Here Bernard and Einquitin sell their first paintings and Van Gogh exchanges paintings with Paul Gogen. Debates on art, artists, and their social standing begin at the exhibition and are expanded to include visitors such as Camille Pissarro and her son Lucien, Paul Siniak, Siora. In February 1888, exhausted by the life of Paris, Van Gogh left the city, taking about 200 paintings in two years. A few hours before leaving, he was accompanied by Theo to visit Soraya in his studio.
Arles (1888-1889)
In February 1888, Van Gogh found refuge in Arl due to drunkenness and smoking cough. He seemed to be moving in the creative colonies (a small place where creative individuals live interacting with each other). He was accompanied for two months by Danish painter Christian Maurier Peterson, for whom Arl initially seemed exotic. In one of the letters, he describes the location as a foreign land. "French couples, public houses, the wonderful little Arlesien who seems to go to the sacrament, the priests who give the impression of a dangerous rhinoceros, the people who drink the absent, all seem to be from another world."
The years spent in Arles are one of Van Gogh's most productive regions, here he painted 200 paintings and about 100 watercolor paintings. The artist was fascinated by the local landscape and light. His works in this period are rich in yellow, lavender, purple. The pictures depict wheat fields, crops, rural sights, windmills. One of these paintings is "The Old Mill" (1888), one of the seven paintings sent to Pont Aven on October 4, 1888, exchanged with the works of Paul Gogen, Emil Bernard, Charles Laval, and others.
Van Gogh's early landscapes seem smooth, without perspective, but the use of color predominates. New manifestations of the artist are reflected in the scale of the paintings. In March 1888, he painted landscapes using a "grid perspective." Three of the works were on display at the Independent Salon. In April, he was visited by American artist Dodge MacKnight, who lived not far from Conwy. On May 1, 1888, Van Gogh signs a monthly rental contract for 15 francs for the Yellow House at 2 Lampard. The rooms were without furniture and had not been inhabited for several months.
On May 7, Van Gogh moved from the Carrel Hotel to the 'Café de la Gare' , which was under the direction of Joseph and Marie Guinness. The yellow house had to be transformed before it could be established there. The artist wanted the studio to showcase his paintings: "Van Gogh's Chair" (1888), "Bedroom Arl" (1888), "Night Cafe" (1888), "Night Cafe Terrace" (1888), "From the Star" Night on Ron "(1888), Still Life. Vase with 12 sunflowers (1888), all intended as a decoration for the Yellow House.
Van Gogh wrote that in "Night Cafe" he wanted to express the idea that a cafe is a place where you can "destroy yourself, get mad or commit a crime." When he visited St. Marie de la Mer in June, he taught lessons to lieutenant Paul Eugene Millet and painted boats at sea and in the village. McKay introduced Van Gogh to Belgian artist Ejen Bosch, who sometimes stayed in Conwy, they made mutual visits in July.
Visit Paul Gogen (1888)
When Paul Guggen agrees to visit Arles in 1888, Van Gogh hopes to fulfill his long-standing dream of a collective friendship with artists. While waiting, he painted "Sunflowers" in August. When Eugene Bosch visits Van Gogh again, he paints a portrait of him, as well as a book entitled The Poet Against the Starry Sky.
As part of the preparations for Paul Gogan's visit, Van Gogh buys two beds at the advice of the post office manager Joseph Rulin (Van Gogh painted Roulin's portrait). On September 17, he was staying for the first time at Yellow House. When Gogen agrees to stay in Arl and work with him, Van Gogh begins to work on his "Yellow House Ornaments" series, which is perhaps the most ambitious project he has undertaken. He is completing two jobs: The Van Gogh Chair and the Gogen Armchair.
After Van Gogh's many exhortations, Gogen arrives in Arles on October 23, and in November they are painting together. Guggen depicts Van Gogh while painting sunflowers. Van Gogh paints with memory at the suggestion of Gogen. One of these paintings is "Memories of the Garden in Etienne". Their first joint work was a painting by Alice Alyscamps. Goguen's only painting during this visit was the "Van Gogh painting of sunflowers."
Van Gogh and Gogen visit Montpellier in December 1888, where they see the works of Curbé and Delacroix in the Zabra Museum. But soon the relationship between the two artists deteriorates. Van Gogh admired Guggen and wanted him to be treated equally, but Guggen was arrogant and had a dominant character, which upset Van Gogh. They often argued, Van Gogh is increasingly concerned that Paul Gogen will quit, and the situation that Vincent has described as "extremely tense" is turning into a crisis.
In the Arl Hospital (December 1888)
The exact sequence of events that led Van Gogh to cut off his ear is unknown. 15 years after the incident, Gogen stated that the night was preceded by threats of harsh behavior. Their relationship has been complicated. It is possible that Theo borrowed money from Gogen, and Gogen suspected the brothers were abusing him financially. Van Gogh may have felt that Gogen was going to leave. The following days there was heavy rain, forcing the two artists to stay in the Yellow House. Gogen later reported that Van Gogh had followed him when he left for a walk and "attacked him with a razor in his hand." This information has not been confirmed. Gogen was most likely missing from Yellow House that night and staying at the hotel.
After a dispute with Gogen, Van Gogh returned to his room, where, after sound hallucinations, he cut his left ear with a razor, resulting in severe bleeding. The next morning, Van Gogh was found unconscious by police and taken to a hospital where he was examined by Dr. Felix Ray, a young, inexperienced physician. The ear was also rushed to the hospital, but Dr. Ray did not even try to recover it because it had been a long time.
Van Gogh recalled that he had been in acute psychological distress. The hospital's diagnosis noted "a sharp mania with pronounced insanity." Police have insisted that he remain under medical supervision for several days. Gogen immediately reported the incident to Theo, who had married his longtime friend, Andres Bonger's sister, Johanna. Theo rushes to the station the same evening to catch the night train to Arl. He came to Vincent on Christmas Eve and tried to calm his brother. On the same night, he left Arles, leaving for Paris.
In the early days of treatment, Van Gogh repeatedly petitioned Paul Gogen, who was ordered by the police to be kind to the artist, not to tell him about his intention to go to Paris. Goguen's appearance could even be fatal for Van Gogh. Gogen escapes from Arl and never meets Van Gogh again. The artists keep the correspondence, and in 1890 Gogen offers Vincent his painting studio. Van Gogh is being visited by other people at the hospital, including Marie Chinou and Rowlin.
Despite a pessimistic diagnosis, Van Gogh is recovering and returning to the Yellow House on January 7, 1889. Next month he spends at home and in the hospital, suffering from hallucinations and the delirium of poisoning. In March, police closed the house on the grounds of protests by 30 citizens, including the Chin family. Van Gogh returns to the hospital. In March, he was visited twice by Paul Snyak, and in April Van Gogh was moved from the hospital ward to a room rented by Dr. Rey as long rains and floods damaged the paintings in his home. Two months later he left Arles and moved to St. Remy de Provence by his own will. Around the same time, he wrote: "Sometimes I get an indescribable sadness when the eyes of time and death seem to be in the dominant instant."
In 1899, Van Gogh donated a "Portrait of Dr. Felix Ray" to Dr. Rey, but the physician, not a fan of painting, used it in a convent. In 2016, the painting was moved to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and valued at $ 50 million.
Saint Remy (May 1889 - May 1890)
Van Gogh entered the Saint Paul de Mausoleum Psychiatric Hospital on May 8, 1889, accompanied by his Protestant clergyman, Frederic Sales. St. Paul was a monastery in St. Remy, 30 km from Arles. The hospital was run by Navy physician Theophilus Perron. Van Gogh had two cells with closed windows, one of which was used as a studio. The hospital and its garden have become Vincent's main painting objects. He studies the interior of the hospital, paints the lobby of the hospital and Saint Remy. Some works in this period are characterized by spirals, such as "Starry Night." During this time he also draws roses and olives. In September 1889, he painted two more versions of Arley's bedroom.
Unable to get out of the hospital, Van Gogh began to work on other artists, such as the works of Jean François Millet and his earlier work. Van Gogh was fascinated by the work of realists Jules Breton, Gustav Curbey and Millet, and he compared his duplicates to Beethoven's musical interpretations.
He created his painting "The Walk of Prisoners" (1890) after an engraving by Gustav Dore. Trollbott noted that the view of the inmate of the district center reflects the very view of the artist, artist Ian Hulsker denied that view.
In the months of February-April 1890, Van Gogh lives in a difficult period. He later wrote to his brother that he had created some small paintings "from memories of the north." One of these works is the painting "Two peasant women digging at sunset". Hulsker believes that this small series of paintings is the nucleus of many of the paintings depicting the landscapes and characters that Van Gogh created in the area. He noted that the painter's illness had a significant impact on the paintings. Van Gogh asked his brother and mother to send him works of his early 1880s to work on. Hulsker's painting of the "Elderly Elder" ("On the Threshold of Eternity") belonging to this period identifies "yet another perfect memory of ancient times." In his words, the late artist's works represent the possibilities of the artist who, as Robert Hughes describes, strive for "conciseness and grandeur."
French poet, painter Albert Aurier in the January 1890 issue of the Mercure de France magazine gave Van Gogh the term "genius." In February, Van Gogh painted five versions of Ms. Jinou, using coal paintings made by Guggen, when in November 1888 the woman served as a master for both artists. In February, Van Gogh was invited to the "Union of the XX", an association of avant-garde artists in Brussels to participate in their annual exhibition. At an open lunch organized by union members, Henri de Groo criticized Van Gogh's work. Toulouse-Lautrec has demanded an explanation, and Paul Siniak has stated that if Lotrec surrenders, he will continue the fight for Van Gogh's honor. De Grue apologized for what happened, leaving the union. Later, while the exhibition was going on, Claude Monet said in Paris that his work was the best at the exhibition. Van Gogh wrote after his nephew was born: "I started creating pictures for him by hanging them in the bedroom, they are blooming tokens against a blue sky. "
Auvers-Sur-Oise (May-July, 1890)
In May 1890, Van Gogh left St. Remy's Hospital and settled on Auvers-Sur-Oise, like Theo, to be closer to physician Paul Gache. Gashi was an amateur artist and interacted with several different artists, including Camille Pissaro (he was the one who recommended this doctor's service). Van Gogh wrote about his first impression of a doctor: "Mr. Gashen, in my opinion, is also as sick and nervous as you or you, moreover, he is older than us and lost his wife several years ago, but he is a doctor until the bones of the brain, so his profession and belief in it help keep him in balance."
Artist Charles-François Dobigny moved to Over in 1861, in turn attracting other artists, Camille Coro and Onore Domieri. In July 1890, Van Gogh completed two paintings by Dobiny in the Garden, one of which is probably the artist's last work.
In recent weeks in St Remy, his thoughts have returned to northern memories. Many of the over 70 oil paintings reminiscent of northern scenes. In June 1890 he painted some paintings by a physician, including the portrait of Doctor Gache, the author's sole offset. In each of the pictures, Gache's melancholy situation is emphasized. Other pictures are probably not complete, one of them is also a picture of "Covered huts on the hill".
In July, Van Gogh wrote that he had plunged into a vast plain near the hillside, which was "as deep as the sea, delicate yellow." At first, he was attracted to the wheat fields when they were green. In July, the artist, describing the wheat fields, wrote to Theo, "vast fields of wheat under a stormy sky."
Van Gogh wrote that the fields represent his "sadness and extreme loneliness," and that the paintings can tell what he cannot express in words, so much so that he considers the rural area healthy, refreshing and vital. Canvas on Wheat Field is not the artist's last work; Hulsker observes it in connection with melancholy and infinite loneliness. Hulsker considers seven works created after this painting.
The death of Van Gogh
On July 27, 1890, at the age of 37, Van Gogh committed suicide with a revolver in his chest. There were no witnesses. He died 30 hours after the accident. The shooting could have been fired in the wheat field where he was shooting, or in a local sturgeon. The ball passed through his ribs, chest, without damaging the internal organs, probably resting on the spine. He was able to return to Auerberg Rau, where he was visited by two doctors, but without the presence of a surgeon, the ball could not be removed. The doctors left him in his room after doing their work, and they smoked a pipe. The next morning Theo hurried to his brother, finding him in good spirits, but a few hours later Vincent's condition worsened due to a wound infection. He died on the morning of July 29. According to Theo, Vincent's last words were: "The sorrow will be prolonged forever."
Van Gogh was buried on July 30 at the Overseas Sur Waz City Cemetery. The funeral was attended by Theo van Gogh, Andris Bonger, Charles Laval, Lucien Pissaro, Emil Bernard, Julien Tang, Paul Goshen, family members, friends, locals. Theo was ill and his health deteriorated after his brother's death. Unable to survive the loss of his brother, he died on January 25, 1891, in Den Dolder and was buried in Utrecht. In 1914, his wife, Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, organized the exhumation of Theo's body and moved his body from Utrecht to Vincent to bury it in Overseas Sur Waz.
There have been many disputes about Van Gogh's disease and many views have been raised. There was no disagreement that Van Gogh was ill, but he was in good health from time to time. For the first time in 1947, Perry put forward the theory of bipolar affective disorder, and this view was supported by psychologists Humphrey and Bloomer. Biochemist Wilfred Arnold opposes this view, noting that the link between affective disorder and art can be false. A version of temporary epilepsy with diabetic seizures has also been suggested. Whatever the diagnosis, the artist's health may have deteriorated from malnutrition, melancholy, insomnia, and alcohol.
The qualitative development of the artist
Vincent van Gogh painted watercolor from an early age, but only a few works from the school district have survived. When he started painting at an early age, the artist started from an elementary level. Since 1882, his uncle, Cornelius Marinus, who owns a contemporary art salon in Amsterdam, has asked him to paint in The Hague, but Van Gogh's paintings have not met his expectations. Marinus again asked Van Gogh for pictures detailing the needed pictures, but the result was still unsatisfactory. Van Gogh was persistent. he experimented with lighting using different materials in the paintings. For nearly a year he has worked on individual characters using black and white, which has often served as a basis for criticism. Later they were considered the first valuable works of the artist.
In August 1882, Theon sent Vincent money to buy paintings. Vincent wrote that he could continue to paint, "filled with new energy." Since 1883, he has begun to work on many characters, but when his brother criticized them for lack of freshness and vitality, he removed them and began painting with oil. Van Gogh has turned to prominent artists in The Hague, such as Weisenbuch and Bloomers, for technical advice. He was also assisted by painters De Boc and Van der Welle, both of whom represented the second generation of The Hague School. When he moved to Eugene, he painted several large-scale works, most of which he destroyed. The only thing saved is the Potato Eaters. After visiting the Amsterdam State Museum, Van Gogh expressed his admiration for the Dutch masters, especially Rembrandt and Francis Halsey. He knew that many of his shortcomings were due to a lack of experience and technique, so he went to Antwerp in 1885 and then to Paris to improve his skills.
Van Gogh portrayed the poor, the miners of Bornaj, and later the peasants, craftsmen, fishermen, who became acquainted with the lifestyle of the Dutch in 1881-1885. Since 1883, Van Gogh has produced his first noteworthy, love-filled paintings for ordinary people ("Peasant," "Potato Eaters," "Women Who Lead Coal," "The Unusual Woman," "Before Heaven," "The Old Man," etc.); where he expressed the mental tension, suffering, and depression of the ancients. Theo criticized the painting "Potato Eaters" for dark colors, calling them incompatible with modern style. While in Paris, in 1886-1887, Vincent tried a new, lighter palette. Since that time, his work has changed to darker colors of pure blue, gold, red and bright colors ("Bridge of the Sun", 1887, "Portrait of Tang's father", 1887, etc.). In 1888, Van Gogh moved to the French city of Arles, where his unique creative style finally developed. The portrait of Tang's father demonstrates his success in brighter colors, evidencing the development of an individual style. Charles Blaney's treatise on colors made him very interested in making additional colors work. Van Gogh concluded that the effect of color goes beyond the sphere of description. He said: "Color already expresses something in itself". According to Hughes, Van Gogh was already perceiving the color of moral and psychological value, such as in "Night Cafe", a work in which the artist sought to express "the terrible passions of mankind." Yellow is a great value for the artist, symbolizing the emotional truth. He has used yellow as a symbol of light, life, and God.
Van Gogh sought to become an artist of rural life and nature. During his first summer in Arles, he used his new palette to paint traditional landscapes and rural environments. His belief in the power of the natural force made him grasp that power and present it in his paintings, sometimes using symbols. His seed, depicted by Jean-François Millet, represents the artist's religious beliefs. The sower, who is Christ, sowed life under the bright sun. These were the topics that the artist often addressed, developing and developing. The painter's paintings are full of symbols, but instead of using traditional Christian iconography, he creates his style where life blooms under the sun and works are the metaphor of life. In Arl, where he painted the sunflowers, flooded with bright sunlight, he was ready to paint the Seed.
The painter expressed his attitude and attitude towards the world in contrast to the colors. In landscapes created in the bright and warm colors of the South, "Harvest. La Croix Valley, "Fishing Boats in St. Mary's", both in 1888, reflected his love and attitude for beauty and happiness. In some works, he depicted characters expressing human loneliness and powerlessness in the "Night Cafe Arlow", 1888. The dynamics of color and vibrancy give life and vibrancy not only to nature and humans in Arles Red Grapes, 1888 but also to the inanimate objects in Van Gogh's Arl Bedroom, 1888. The strenuous work of the painter's last years has been accompanied by a shock of mental illness when he cut off his ear.
Van Gogh created a style he called "the illusion of reality" and criticized overly stylized works. He later wrote that abstraction from "Starry Night" had gone too far, and that reality had retreated to the background. Hughes described the moment as an ecstasy of extreme foresight. The stars are in a large rotation, reminiscent of Hokusai's "Big Wave". The rotation in the sky was later reflected by the rotation of the pupils on the ground, and the artist began to work with thick, pointed brushes.
Van Gogh created a collection of paintings from 1885 until his death in 1890 that expressed his unique worldview and which could have been commercially successful. He was influenced by the style of Charles Blaney, who as a true painter gave utmost importance to the color, perspective, application of brushes. Van Gogh called his paintings "targeted" as opposed to paintings he considered research. Many pictures were simply made as color experiments or as gifts for friends. The Arli period has had a significant impact on the artist's creative life. He considered most important his paintings "Seeds", "Night Cafe", "Memories of the Garden in Etienne", "Starry Night". These paintings with their thick brushes and outlines represent the style that the artist was looking for. Van Gogh's recent works are distinguished by color combinations, sharp expression of rhythm, abrupt changes of mood, extreme despair, and bursts ("The Road to Puppets and Stars," 1890), and some works in bright and peaceful mood ("Overnight Rain," 18 "Church in the Over," 1890, etc.). Van Gogh's best canvases are Arlesian (1888), Shoes (1887) Postman Roule (1888), Sunset at Sunset (1888), Self-portrait with a Calf (1888), Portrait of Doctor Gachet. (1890), "At the Gates of Eternity" (1890), etc.
Main rows
The style of Van Gogh's paintings is marked by the regions he has spent in various parts of Europe. He tended to penetrate the local culture, though maintaining his style. The artist has done a lot of work in series, most of which is still life. His development as an artist was slow, and he had some limitations. Van Gogh was often returning home to receive new impulses. Various influences developed his technical skills. Art historian Melissa McQuillan believes that this development reflects recent stylistic changes, and Van Gogh has taken steps to avoid conflict as she faces the difficulties of overcoming the situation as an ideal artist.
Since the first exhibitions organized in the late 1880s, Van Gogh's reputation has grown among artists, merchants, artists, collectors. In 1887, Andre Antoine hung Van Gogh's works at the Libre Theater in Paris alongside the works of George Siora and Paul Sneak. later, some work was acquired by Julien Tang. In 1889, the artist's work was described by Albert Aurie in Modern Painting Magazine, who described the paintings as "intense sunlight". Van Gogh's paintings were exhibited at the Union of Independent Artists in Brussels in January 1890. President of the French Republic Sadie Carno, who also visited the exhibition, was impressed by Van Gogh's works.
After Van Gogh's death, commemorative exhibitions were organized in Brussels, Paris, The Hague, and Antwerp. His work has been exhibited in some high-quality exhibitions, including the "XX Union". In 1891 a retrospective exhibition was organized in Brussels. In 1892, Octavo Mirbo wrote that "Van Gogh's suicide was an infinitely sad loss for art, though large numbers of people did not gather for the funeral, and poor Van Gogh, whose death meant the extinction of a gigantic flame, had just died and had died. who lived. "
Theo van Gogh died in January 1891, remaining Vincent's best friend and correspondent. Theo's widow, Johannes van Gogh-Bonger, a twenty-year-old Dutchess who had briefly known her husband and granddaughter, Vincent, had to take care of several hundred paintings and letters, as well as her young son, Vincent William van Gogh. Paul Guggen was not inclined to offer his help in recognizing the art of Van Gogh. Johannes Brother Andre Bonger was also indifferent to Van Gogh's paintings. Aurier, one of Van Gogh's early admirers of critics, died of typhoid at the age of 27.
In 1892, Emil Bernard organized a small exhibition of Van Gogh's works in Paris, where Julien Tang presented Van Gogh's paintings. In April 1894, collector Paul Duran Ruel agreed to acquire ten paintings from the Van Gogh collection. In 1896, yet unknown artist Henry Matisse visited artist John Peter Russell on Belle Island. Russell, being one of Van Gogh's close friends, showed Matisse one of the Dutch deeds, presenting one of them to him. Under the influence of Van Gogh, Matisse incorporated bright colors into his frame.
Van Gogh's art not appreciated in time His work gained worldwide recognition some 100 years later. The artist's work reflects a difficult, breakthrough period in the history of European culture. Van Gogh's works are preserved in the best museums in the world (Moscow Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Chrysler-Muller State, New York Metropolitan, Auguste Roden, etc.).
Van Gogh's first major wave of recognition in Austria and Germany appeared before World War I when his correspondence was published in three volumes in 1914. The artist's letters are expressive, literate, and listed as original works of the 19th century. They have become an integral part of the artist's myths about the progressive artist who suffered greatly for his art, dying at a young age. In 1934, writer Irving Stone wrote an autobiographical novel about Van Gogh's life, "The Thirst of Life," based on Van Gogh's letters to Theo. This book and the 1956 film further enhanced the artist's recognition in the United States, where, according to Stone, only a few hundred people knew about the artist before.
Van Gogh's works are among the most expensive in the world. In the US, more than $ 100 million has been sold for "Portrait of Dr. Gache," "Portrait of Postman Joseph Rulin." In 1993, the Metropolitan Museum acquired the "Wheatfield with a picture" for $ 57 million. In 2015, the Aluscamp painting was sold for $ 40 million at a Sotheby's auction in the United States.
Van Gogh has lived and created while suffering spiritually. The issue of his illness and its impact on his work to date have sparked controversy: More than 150 psychiatrists have tried to find a name for the artist's illness and have been offered 30 different diagnoses.
Van Gogh's mental anguish has been particularly acute in the last years of his life, which, according to Paul Gogen's autobiography, caused him to cut his left ear.
Van Gogh has been called a crater on the planet Mercury.
Van Gogh's Museum
Van Gogh's cousin, named after Vincent Willem van Gogh (1890-1978), inherited the property in 1925 after his mother's death. In the early 1950s, he organized a new full-length publication of the artist's stamp in four volumes in several languages. He then negotiated with the Dutch government to subsidize the purchase of an area that would display the artist's entire collection. Theo's son participated in the design of the bid with the expectation that the work would work in the best conditions. The project started in 1963. Architect Gerrit Rietveld was commissioned to design the museum building, and in 1964, after his death, Kisho Kurokawa took charge of the building. Works were carried out in the 1960s, and a solemn opening took place in 1972.
The Van Gogh Museum was opened in Amsterdam's Museum Square in 1973, becoming the second most visited museum in the Netherlands, 1.5 million people visit here annually. In 2015 it had a record 19.9 million visitors. About 85% of visitors come from other countries.

Abortionist kept remains of unborn babies at home
WILL COUNTY, Ill. – Law enforcement officials have announced the discovery of 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains at the Illinois home of a deceased abortionist.
Ulrich Klopfer, who worked at an abortion center in South Bend, Ind., died earlier this month. His family discovered the remains and contacted the sheriff's office in Will County, Ill.
There's reportedly no evidence he performed abortions at his home, but authorities have opened an investigation.
"We are horrified," said Mike Fichter, the president of Indiana Right to Life. He called for Indiana authorities to determine whether the remains have any connection to abortion operations in the state.
Who was Klopfer?
The abortionist worked at three Indiana facilities and performed thousands of abortions in multiple counties over several decades, the South Bend Tribune reported.
The state's medical board suspended his license in 2016 for violations such as submitting erroneous state-mandated terminated pregnancy reports, waiting too long to report abortions on girls age 13 or younger, and having unqualified staff members provide pre-abortion information and counseling to patients, according to the Tribune.

The Business of AI: Harnessing the Technological Revolution
By Danny Stern October 19, 2017 No Comments
Future generations will call today the beginning of a radical social, technological and economic revolution. Erik Brynjolfsson, renowned MIT professor and leading authority on how businesses can leverage emerging technologies, concludes that harnessing advances in artificial intelligence (AI) is the grand challenge for our society. To business leaders, Brynjolfsson asserts that digital disruption can be managed for humanity's greater good, but only through a proactive approach that capitalizes on the opportunities and recognizes the challenges of new technology.
Watch Machine, Platform, Crowd with Erik Brynjolfsson
This transition to utilizing AI and machine learning (ML) is what Brynjolfsson, co-author of New York Times best-seller "The Second Machine Age" (Norton, January 2016), and most recently "Machine, Platform, Crowd" (Norton, June 2017), calls the "second wave" of the second machine age.
"The key thing to understand about ML is that it represents a fundamentally different approach to creating software: The machine learns from examples, rather than being explicitly programmed for a particular outcome," writes Brynjolfsson in his Harvard Business Review cover story, "The Business of Artificial Intelligence." This presents an array of possibilities for automating tasks that previously only humans could do, creating new business models and occupations – and destroying old ones. This disruption to human employment poses challenges as great as the opportunities afforded to the economy by the new technology.
Through his speaking, teaching and writing, Brynjolfsson takes on complex questions, explaining them simply and clearly, while revealing his inspiring vision for how to prepare for the rapidly emerging second machine age. He tempers his techie's sense of optimism about AI opportunities, particularly for entrepreneurs and business managers, with a sense of realism and a warning. "We need to make fundamental changes in both policies and operations. Businesses need to rethink how they work. Individuals need to take personal responsibility for learning the new skills that are needed going forward," explained Brynjolfsson in a recent HBR IdeaCast interview. "If we do all those things I'm pretty optimistic. But I wouldn't want people to become complacent … I want us to think about how we can use technology to create shared prosperity for the many, not just the few."

The design and implementation experience of this proxy is summarized in the CHANT 2008 paper we published. Researchers who are interested in playing with the proxy can send an email to (chuah at cse dot lehigh dot edu) to request for the code) after the funding agency has approved the release.
The design and evaluation results of our intergroup unicast and multicast schemes have been documented in several papers e.g. MSN 2008 paper. Simulation codes for these schemes will be released upon the approval of the funding agency. Researchers who are interested in playing with such codes can send an email to (chuah at cse dot lehigh dot edu).
The implementation our IBE-based key management scheme uses Stanford's PBC library and Miracl library. Hence, our code is only available to academic researchers.
Our data centric security solution is based on ciphertext-based attribute-based encryption system. Our solution provides revocation and dynamic attribute features. More details will be provided in the near future.
We are among the first groups that design schemes for content-based information retrieval for DTNs. We have also built a late-binding router that allows secure role-based and location-based messages to be sent in DTNs. Our implementation is built on top of the reference DTN2 implementation.
Our implementation currently allows messages to be exchanged between different domains running enhanced Prophet and RAPID.


After wrapping up a little trip around SharkWerk's workshop, Alex Ross and I took his buddy Ralph's 540hp Porsche GT3 out for a spin.
If you haven't caught on by now, this is a shop that builds cars to be driven, and driven hard. And if you aren't familiar with the SharkWerks 4.1-liter upgrade, worry not, we'll dive into it here.
I was able to snag this on my way back to the 997, but I didn't want to push our luck.
Luckily, a proven parking garage was nearby and I was able to get into the build here. Before we jump into the car, though, you ought to know a bit about the owner.
Ralph is pretty much the SharkWerks torture test; at 70 years old he's something of an original outlaw, if you will. Working for Vasek Polak in the 1950s and '60s in Manhattan Beach on Porsche race cars, he owned a Speedster and two 356s before he was 18.
That should give you a at least a bit of an idea about the man behind this particular machine.
As for the car, minus the phenomenal Cup wing, it's a fairly understated affair. Most of the improvements that have been made to the GT3 are ones that you can't see, but instead, feel. The difference behind the wheel is immediately noticeable; the stability upon turn in, and feedback through the apex, the responsiveness (and sound) on corner exit, and so on.
These are things that a Porsche is already good at, so what's the secret sauce that SharkWerks has been pouring all over their cars to make them so incredible to drive?
First off, there's no replacement for displacement, as we say the good ol' US of A. The car now has the SharkWerks/EVOMS 4.1L, but as a 2007 997 GT3 Ralph's car originally came with the 3.6L. The factory engine was certainly no slouch, though, making 415 or so horses at around 7,600rpm.
SharkWerks, along with R&D partner Evolution Motorsports, have said phooey to that (no offense Porsche), and reckons that extending the peak power out to 7,950rpm provides for a better driving experience. In fact, the upgraded and lightened crankshaft in the setup is capable of over 9,500rpm, which is just incredible to think of out of the 4.1-liter flat-six. You get the bonus of an extra 125hp too, so it's a righteous kick in the pants when you give it the beans.
Of course, the power comes on a lot sooner in the 4.1, and you'll enjoy the significant increase in torque throughout the entire rev range. This is made possible with the SharkWerks/EVOMS 104.5mm bore piston and cylinder set that makes use of steel liners with Teflon-coated pistons and titanium wrist pins.
This trickery has saved 20 grams per piston and makes for a much smoother and faster-revving engine as well.
The rods, which make for an 80.44mm stroke together with that upgraded crankshaft, are also an EVOMS collaboration. The gents have opted to stay away from titanium for their street motors as it tends to get a bit stretchy over time, instead going with a forged tool steel and a lightweight-as-possible design.
I think I ought not to share the actual spec, but the compression ratio in the 4.1L setup is higher than even the latest the factory 991 GT3 RS ratio (12.9:1). To ensure longevity of the now 540hp engines, John Bray of EVOMS and James Hendry over at SharkWerks have applied a variety of race-prep techniques to the engine case as well as every bit inside.
Thousands and thousands of test miles went into creating this setup and ensuring it was reliable, as is the SharkWerks way. The result is that anyone with the cash can experience the something that even Porsche itself is unable to deliver to the masses.
To make things even better, SharkWerks has fitted the 997 with their street exhaust which saves 19 pounds (8.6kg) off the back end of the car.
The terrifically-built motor makes an already great car something exceptional. Of course, on Ralph's GT3 SharkWerks didn't stop there.
While not extremely obvious, every aspect of this car has been improved: the looks, the handling, the driver feedback, and the power delivery which I've already covered.
The most noticeable modifications are the big Cup car wing that's been added (which comes with that super-cool deck lid) and the Cup front spoiler. While not huge game changers at lower speeds, Ralph is definitely one to take the car up and over the 100mph mark at just about every chance he gets.
The wheels are forged three-piece Fifteen52 Apex RSRs in 19×9-inch and 19×12-inch, wrapped with meaty Michelin Sport Cup 245 and 305-series rubber. Inside the beefy wheels are Brembo GT brakes front and back which make use of 15-inch and 14-inch rotors.
The handling is tidily taken care of with RSS/SharkWerks adjustible links, bump steer kit, inner mono-balls and adjustable thrust arm bushings up front.
Inside the car, not a whole lot has changed. From the factory, it's already a quite pleasant place to have a sit. It took a few passes before I realized that the wheel is a TechArt piece, not a factory one. It's pretty simple inside, and worth noting it does have the proper three pedals.
The carbon fiber bucket seat is second to none and hugged me quite nicely. I've put on a few pounds since becoming a Speedhunter last year and the list of seats that fit me well seems to be shrinking as I do the opposite.
Check out that odometer. For a guy who owns a lot of other Porsches it's hard to believe that Ralph has clocked up nearly 10,000 miles a year since this thing came off the showroom floor.
But looking around the car, it's pretty obvious that Ralph is a guy who just loves to drive his Porsches. He even carries around an extra lip for when he inevitably destroys the current one at speed.
Thus, Ralph has been the perfect test bed for the 4.1 setup along with other SharkWerks upgrade parts.
Alex tells me they're really quite lucky that Ralph's taken a liking to them — both his driving ability and Porsche expertise are absolutely tops, as they say.
As I had a last look around the 4.1, Alex caught up on the emails I'd been sidetracking him from all day.
I finally concluded that everything about this car is exactly what it should have been from the factory — it's far better than even the more recent 4.0 and RS variants. I understand it just isn't quite possible when you have production numbers to meet and marketing teams and investors and who knows what all else.
But since Porsche won't do it, we can be thankful for shops like SharkWerks who gladly will.
This guy owned 3 Porsches before he was allowed to drink? And I can't even land a simple job at this age. Crazy guy. You should also have gotten a sound clip of the car too.
Magnus, paints cars horrendous colour schemes and re trims interiors in plaid. I have zero idea what the fuss about him is.
Who said anything about Magnus? What are you talking about? Also, have your eyes tested please.
It would appear I replied to the wrong post, Jordan a couple posts down brought him up.
I know, I'm really a horrible person for not making videos. Hopefully this will soon change!
1:55 pmFebruary 22, 2018 David K.
Awesome car. The owner sounds like a legend too.
245 on 9" wheels, 305 on 12" wheels, meaty?
Such a neat build, if i may ask what is mounted to his windscreen just in front of the clock?
I thought GT3s came with a half cage? Or did this start out as a non GT3 car?
Why not a center lock wheels?
And i can see a "Bilstein" sticker on the quarter window but it's not covered in the list of mods/upgrades.
The guy is a living legend, we must take notes.
I though it was an option.
Is it an easy job to convert to center lock or not worthy the time & money spent? considering this is not a track only build.
What the heck. A GT3 with roof hatch?! Nevertheless it looks like an awesome machine.
I just wanna know where I can buy the "anti-theft" sticker from?!!!

The BEST Private Guitar Lessons in Rhode Island!
" I want to express my sincere thanks for the work Scott has done with my daughter. Scott is Tori's 4th Guitar teacher and the only one who truly inspired her. As a father, I wanted the best for my girl and it saddened me to go from one guitar instructor to another, watching the joy of playing getting lost in the process. Scott is the only one who connected with her from day one and got her passionate about guitar again. Scott took her from treading water to playing advanced pieces that she's proud of in less than 9 months, progress impressive to family, friends, and her school's music department.
I wish I could turn back the clock and have had her playing those years with guitar lessons from Scott. That said, we appreciate Scott much more because of it."
"Scott's incredible knowledge of the guitar is matched only by his patience and his keen eye for detail. He is always able to understand exactly what is causing me difficulty in my playing and is always immediately able to remedy it. It was thanks to his guidance that I was able to get into Berklee's twelve week summer program. Scott is an amazing guitarist, but more than that he is a natural born teacher."
"Thank you again for a great lesson today...but just as important, thank you for jamming a few minutes for me. It is truly inspirational to see a true virtuoso play. Thank you for the inspiration as well as the motivation. I can't say enough how grateful I am to have you as an instructor and mentor, Scott."
As the premier private guitar instructor in Rhode Island, I have taken 22 years of experience playing and teaching the guitar, as well as my training from the Berklee College of Music, and distilled the learning process from years to only several months.
All aspiring players of any style and any level of experience will benefit from the state-of-the art guitar educational experience available through one-on-one private guitar lessons with the Guitar Strength program and through the instructional materials available through this site.

Chicago's River Point skyscraper, which shares a lot in common with the tallest building under construction in downtown Houston, has landed a tenant with big history.
Morton Salt has leased two floors in the 52-story tower at 444 W. Lake St. for the relocation of its headquarters.
The new building, which is being co-developed by Houston-based Hines, will consolidate 300 employees from the company's downtown Chicago headquarters and 50 customer service center employees in the Oak Brook suburb. They'll occupy 52,600 square feet in December 2016.
Hines is also developing 609 Main, a 48-story building going up in Houston. Both buildings were designed by architecture firm Pickard Chilton, broke ground in 2014, and will contain 1.05 million square feet.
Morton Salt will join McDermott, Will & Emery and DLA Piper in the new building.

(Washington, DC) – Mayor Muriel Bowser today opened the DC Infrastructure Academy, a partnership between DC Government and utility, union, university, and private sector partners that will provide a pipeline to in-demand infrastructure jobs. Through private and public partnerships, the DC Infrastructure Academy will provide high-quality, specialized trainings and other workforce development programs that help District residents secure high-paying, long-term employment in the infrastructure industry.
Modeled after similar and successful programs in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Georgia, the DC Infrastructure Academy will provide residents with the necessary skills to maintain careers in one of the fastest growing industries in the nation. The Academy, which brings multiple infrastructure related workforce development programs together under one roof, will focus on serving underemployed and unemployed residents. In 2017, the District's infrastructure sector included 6,753 jobs, with 2,231 job openings and only 1,246 hires, representing a shortage of nearly 50 percent in an industry with an average hourly wage of $48.75. By year 2021, the District's infrastructure sector will increase by 11 percent and almost 20 percent by year 2026.
The Infrastructure Academy is being funded by the Mayor's $16.75 million commitment in the District's capital budget and a $5.2 million contribution to workforce development programs that Pepco provided in the Exelon-Pepco merger preceding. In addition, Pepco and Washington Gas have both agreed to provide $500,000 each in cash contributions, donated human resources, equipment, and other in-kind materials and services over the first five years of the Academy's operation. The Department of Employment Services operates the DC Infrastructure Academy and works with public and private sector partners to align trainings and programs.
The DC Infrastructure Academy builds on a series of efforts and initiatives developed by the Bowser Administration to connect DC residents to sustainable, high-paying careers in the infrastructure industry. Just last year, the Mayor launched Solar Works DC, a job training program that installs cost-saving solar energy systems on the homes of low-income residents, and the DC Quick Path to Energy Program, a workforce development training program that connects residents to employment in the utilities industry.
Mayor Bowser was joined at the opening by City Administrator Rashad Young; Bill Von Hoene, Jr., Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Exelon; David Velazquez, President and CEO at Pepco; Adrian Chapman, President and COO at Washington Gas; Ronald Mason, Jr., President, University of District of Columbia; Paul Wiedefeld, General Manager at WMATA, and Henderson Brown, General Manager at DC Water.


and then the Joggler should boot directly to the installer. The issue with the keyboard not working when booting from boot.nsh doesn't apply, because Linux doesn't depend on EFI services for input. It also gets loaded at a suitable address without any issues.
For the actual installed system, GRUB is still preferable, since it allows much more flexible boot configuration; my plan there is to wait until GRUB 2.00 is released and makes it into Debian so that it can be installed with the regular grub-efi package.

A: The answer to this problem is solved here - extract arabic from pdf to string c#
In essence you need to use the Windows-1256 encoding to get the letters back the way you need to get them so that they aren't single characters vs what you're getting.
You may need to do some more work when you extract the data from the PDF but the code-snippet in the answer will tell you the two encodings you need to use to get the final result.
P.S. Didn't notice it at first but it's the exact same code you're using, and I have no idea if you've already seen the answer there, but it does solve the problem.


Visiting from Conversion Diary. Thank God you were able to act quickly when the dryer went bust! That could have been an awful fire!
Yes, it was very fortunate that it happened while I was still in the room. Also maybe a blessing in disguise since when I took the dryer apart there was a ton of lint all over everything. The previous owner was not particularly conscientious, and I suspect the lint trap broke, and she replaced it at a later time without checking to make sure there wasn't any lint inside the dryer. A deciding factor in deciding not to repair it, was that I wasn't sure I could get all of the lint off since it was mingled with grease! Thanks for stopping by Mary!
