In his 2003 book, Smart Mobs, futurist Howard Rheingold predicted the next social revolution would be triggered by the ubiquity of mobile phones and computers. Their ability to send and share text messages, photographs, videos, and other instant data directly, he predicted, would give people a powerful new way to organize themselves on the fly, battle social ills as they are happening and ultimately transform cultures and communities—for better or worse.
We're not there yet, but we're getting much closer. Social media, still in its infancy, is evolving—from social networking to mobilization. The rise of self-organized groups into cause-focused swarms is just beginning to chip away at the economic and political order of things. The first stirrings of this became evident last summer, during the Obama campaign; this week's mega-conference in San Francisco, SoCap09, convenes 800-plus social entrepreneurs bent on using social media to invent a new economy—one focused more directly on global problem-solving. "Americans are hungry to engage," says Jonathan Greenblatt, a SoCap presenter and president of All for Good, an open source platform that exists to press more people into service, and brands are only too happy to oblige.
The biggest driver of this shift toward mobilization, though, is not commerce—nor altruism. Historians and futurists suggest it's more about our increasing discomfort with the mass proximity we may now feel to communities and classes of people that previously lived outside our direct spheres of experience or influence. Thanks to social media, says Greenblatt, the old buffer zones of neglect or disengagement are shrinking—fast. "We have never been nor felt so adjacent to others," he told a group of online activists Friday at Mashable's Summer of Social Good conference in Manhattan. With mass globalization, we can see the same brands being advertised in central Dubai as in Manhattan; our closest neighbors are more likely now to be found online, everything can be googled, and we have never been so mobile. "There is more computing power in our Blackberries than there was in the control room in Houston that put a man on the moon," Greenblatt says.
All of this, of course, presents both opportunity and burden. "In a networked world where everyone is adjacent and everything can be known, we are seeing increasing evidence of the inequities around us," Greenblatt says. "When you are actually adjacent to these people—the have-nots (and when the have-nots know what we have)—it puts a burden on the 'haves' [in society]."
For SoCap's part, many attendees heading for San Francisco this week believe there is, already, a new "economy of integrity" in the making—fueled by social media. "It's like shoots growing out of the ground," Greenblatt says. "It's giving us different answers than the ones we've heard before to the questions we are facing" as a society. Think Zipcar, he says—the Netflix for cars. Or Living Homes, a Los Angeles-based construction business that is building homes that generate more power than they consume. Or Tom's Shoes, which will donate a pair of shoes to someone in need for every pair purchased. Or Revolution Foods, which is offering healthier meals to kids around the nation as an alternative to junk food in public schools. "This new economy of integrity is animated by these ethical brands driving values and creating values, and social media will allow this economy of integrity to take off," Greenblatt says. Social media, he says, will both "cohere this moment of opportunity and catalyze it...We have opportunities before us that were never before possible."
"Social media is not just about reading a story online and deciding whether to reddit or propeller it or digg it. This is noise. Noise. For me, social media is Wikipedia, with 10 million members all across the planet with a mission to be the repository of human knowledge, accessible to every person alive. It's Twitter and what happened in Iran. Did Twitter change the course of that election? Maybe not. But far more significantly, it changed forever how Iranians think of themselves. Twitter didn't change the outcome now... But it will."

The digital and physical worlds get reconciled beautifully in Sophie Blackall's five-month-old blog, Missed Connections, in which Blackall uses her skills as an artist to illustrate online "missed connections" ads from Craigslist New York. Her subjects are people trying to reconnect digitally with strangers they just saw or met in passing somewhere—at a diner, in a subway car, on the rooftop at a party in Greenpoint. New York magazine's August 10-17 Approval Matrix called Blackall's blog both "highbrow" and "brilliant"; coolhunting.com cites her renderings of "chance encounters, momentary glimmers of hope for a new friend or lover..."
I was looking for an apartment on Craigslist and stumbled across this section for missed connections. It was so riveting, that I found myself trawling through page after page. One woman posted an ad for a 'misconnection' that hadn't happened yet. She was planning to have one in the future. She named a time and a specific place, one block on Second Avenue between 9th and 8th streets; she announced that she was going to be walking a dog on a leash and be wearing a black t-shirt. She wrote that she was going to see if anyone would show up and become her misconnection. I followed up; I kept reading the missed connections list to see if I'd see anything back from her, but I never did. What I did see were two posts from people who had been there but didn't see her. Maybe she didn't show up. Who knows? Maybe she was sitting in a café across the street somewhere, watching to see if anybody would bother.
Which are some of your favorites?
I love the one where someone wrote, "Seeking girl who bit me TWICE last night while we were dancing." It cracks me up—the fact this girl bit this guy twice but he couldn't remember her name.
Scrabble Tattoo on Roof (above, top) is another favorite, from an ad placed by a man who was clearly besotted with a girl he met at a party on a rooftop in Greenpoint. He saw her while she was sitting on top of the stairs, and he asked her if she always sat in a circle of Asian girls. He also asked, Did she always sit at the top of the stairs, so everyone who would pass her would fall in love with her? The guy had gone downstairs to get her a piece of cake and then, when he got back, she'd disappeared.
Did you always want to be an illustrator?
My burning ambition when I was 12 was to illustrate a New Yorker cover. I'd papered all of my bedroom walls with New Yorker covers that belonged to my father; he was an Englishman and one of a handful of people in Australia at the time who subscribed. As soon as he'd bring the magazines home, I'd rip off the covers and tack them up on the walls in my room, like wallpaper, and he'd be furious because I'd never ask first."

Urban Dictionary defines "slacktivism"—a portmanteau combining the words slacker and activism—as the digital equivalent of lip service, "the act of participating in obviously pointless activities as an expedient alternative to actually expending effort to fix a problem." Wikipedia cites these prime examples: the signing of Internet petitions, wearing wristbands with political messages, joining a Facebook cause group, posting issue-oriented YouTube videos, and taking part in short-term boycotts such as the recent Earth Hour, an online event held March 28 asking people all over the world to turn off or dim their nonessential lights for an hour to urge government action against climate change.
The latest scuffle over slacktivism broke out this past week, on the Progressive Exchange listserv, one of the largest and most influential email groups for progressive activist leaders. The discussion arose in response to two pieces: a short blog post by Tamar Schiffman on the Global Fund for Children's Web site questioning the effectiveness of social media as a cause-booster, and the reposting of Morozov's piece in Foreign Policy.
Madeline Stanionis, CEO of the San Francisco-based Watershed Company, an online advocacy and fundraising consulting firm, said that "slacktivism is totally whacktivism." In the case of two Watershed clients (ACORN and Planned Parenthood), "traditional activism cannot respond quickly enough on a national level to deflect a concentrated, full-force hit job by the right-wing noise machine," she wrote. Only rapid-response teams comprised of online supporters have been able to fend off the types of attacks being waged today on these groups. "The assertion that online activists are slacktivists with no influence is bunk," she says.
I vote that we stop dismissing Twitter just because the majority of people who are joining its ranks are there to be social. We like the fact that humans are social. It's good for society. And what they're doing online is fundamentally a mix of social grooming and maintaining peripheral social awareness. They want to know what the people around them are thinking and doing and feeling, even when co-presence isn't viable. They want to share their state of mind and status so that others who care about them feel connected. It's a back-and-forth that makes sense if only we didn't look down at it from outer space. Of course it looks alien. Walk into any typical social encounter between people you don't know and it's bound to look a bit alien, especially if those people are demographically different than you.
But here's an idea, says Connery: Why not stop using the term?
But online activism is just getting started. For every survey that says Twitter is mostly irrelevant babble, there is an online fundraiser that's using microblogging to raise tens of thousands of new dollars to the cause; for every 10 Facebook causes, there are at least a few new private Nings comprised of thousands of new members able to help each other raise money, support, and engagement around their needs in ways that no traditional organization could make possible. And thanks to the mobile Web, on-demand volunteering is just around the corner; the recent Facebook purchase of social media aggregator FriendFeed just made the potential for peer-to-peer cause activism much richer—and easier.
Make no mistake: there have always been legions of people of all stripes who prefer to "do" by simply writing a check or pushing a send button. But social media-leveraged activism? It's many-to-many, online and off, a form of self-organizing and engagement that has nothing to do with playing small.
These things inspire and bring communities together at the face-to-face, neighborly level. However, we can't ignore the direction that online networks are taking us, and that they have value. I think many of the peers in my sector are reluctant to really take the plunge by igniting online communities and taking online actions, but I think that if you don't take this active (not 'slacktive') audience into account, in several years, you will be standing outside at a rally of four people, while the dynamic and inspiring work is being done online.
Here's the trailer for Michael Moore's upcoming film, on class warfare in America. Called Capitalism: A Love Story, the film is scheduled to open October 2—just in time for the holidays.
Say what you will about Moore: he wields humor like a blowtorch, forcing us to look hard at ourselves. [Note to cause filmmakers: Lighten up?] Who knew the recession could be so entertaining?
Here's the latest bit of Twitter-bashing that's roiling the social media/social advocacy crowd: U.S. market researcher Pear Analytics' short-term study of Twitter labels 40% of the messages sent over the microblogging service "pointless babble." Only about 8.7% of tweets, Pear says, have "value" as they pass along news of interest to others.
"I vote that we stop dismissing Twitter just because the majority of people who are joining its ranks are there to be social. We like the fact that humans are social. It's good for society. And what they're doing online is fundamentally a mix of social grooming and maintaining peripheral social awareness.

Of course it looks alien. Walk into any typical social encounter between people you don't know and it's bound to look a bit alien, especially if those people are demographically different than you."
Josh Nelson, with The Hatcher Group, a communications and nonprofit consulting firm in Washington D.C., suggested on Facebook that "if you scanned thousands of random emails or phone calls, it would probably be mostly irrelevant 'babble' as well." Tomorrow's headline? "Ninety-five-plus percent of all telephone conversations are irrelevant to outside listeners," Nelson wrote.
I think it's all about how selective you are when you decide to follow someone. I run my company's Twitter account and I've found Twitter to be one of the most effective ways to reach out to experts, get opinions, promote our content, and do some great market research.
Still not convinced of Twitter's power? Hollywood studios are on edge because blistering, critical word-of-mouth via Twitter and other social networks is cutting—from days to mere hours—the time during which word of mouth can make or break a film at the box office. Bruno and G.I. Joe, for example, experienced an unexpectedly fast tumble within their opening weekends. "People will be Twittering during the opening credits—and leaving when they don't like the film," Eamonn Bowles, president of Magnolia Pictures told The Washington Post.
Twitter can also help to save a production. Just ask Damian Bazadona, president of Situation Interactive, an online marketing and advertising firm. Bazadona was part of the team behind the novel marketing, via Twitter, of the Broadway play, Next to Normal. In early May, six weeks after the show opened, the production began what New York Times contributor Andrew Adam Newman said was, by all accounts, a Broadway first: over Twitter, a special version of the show began to be tweeted out to people, one line from one character at a time—over 35 days. "About a week into the N2N tweetstream, Next to Normal had 30,000 followers; when the show ended June 7, about 145,000 had signed up. Then, as the cast began texting followers, their numbers continued to grow, recently topping 550,000," Newman wrote. "...According to the tracking site Twitterholic, N2Nbroadway is ranked 210th, attracting more Twitter followers than celebrities like Paris Hilton and Stephen Colbert and brands like Starbucks."
Bardona told Newman: "You wouldn't go to a social event and start selling someone something. The content itself was doing the selling for us, so we didn't need to bang someone over the head and say 'Here's how to buy tickets.' That would have smelled so advertising."
What do you think? Is Twitter mostly uncontrollable babble—or a new way to find power and safety in numbers?
Why does the Woodstock music festival, held 40 years ago this weekend, still matter? Perhaps it's because it was "half a million strong"—mega-viral before flashmobs and the Web. "Woodstock had to have been one of the earliest examples of a viral event—long pre-dating blast faxes, mass emails, Web ads, the blogosphere, texting and tweeting," says Robert Goldstein, NPR's music librarian."Somehow, 40 years ago, word spread from person to person about a fabulous outdoor rock festival at a farm a few hours outside of New York City."
Woodstock also was a community of like-minded souls formed at the edges of the cultural mainstream. Today, there is no mainstream, and crowds are more apt to form digitally; in 1969, crowds were only physical—defined less by their collaborative networking potential than by their power to disrupt the status quo. Today, hundreds of thousands of communities are forming and communicating with each other, quickly, over the Web. Back in the summer of 1969, crowd-to-crowd communication did not exist and was beyond the realm of the imaginable. Woodstock was the original flashmob, shocking in both its size and its ability to rapidly self-organize. "This was a spontaneous, pre-Web community of the anti-Establishment, a kind of peaceful protest and celebration all wrapped into one," says Henry Diltz, a photographer who captured most of the festival in a series of iconic images.
...What was so amazing was that sound, in the still morning air, of the single string, the single instrument playing. The sound was so sharp and vibrant, and it went out and echoed against the mountains and came back again. And when you looked out onto the field—which had been a green alfalfa field five days earlier—now it was just a muddy hillside and looked very much like a battleground. Somebody had stuck a branch in the ground with an American flag flying and there it was, out there in that muddy field.
It was just a transfixing moment."
Alan Berger spends a lot of time poking around some of the most dangerously polluted places in the world, from the slums of Mumbai to the toxic slag pools of the American West. But where others might simply see cyanide deposits and smelly canals, Berger—a new-wave landscape architect and urbanist—sees a clearing.
Berger—the founder of P-REX, the Project for Reclamation Excellence at MIT—has a vast but profoundly singular goal: to change the world, literally, by altering the landscape.
Berger's vision goes far beyond beautification. Where others might simply recommend that polluting farms and factories be shut down—or destroyed lands be returned to their natural, prettier state—Berger specializes in creating whole new ecosystems out of places that humans have left for dead, either from neglect or design.
Some places are so environmentally ravaged, he says, "you can never go back." Thanks to new computer modeling technologies and newly available environmental data—from the spread of pine beetle devastation in the American West to the size of the hypoxic dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico—Berger and his team don't have to. Instead, they design new ecosystems that use nature to heal itself.
Berger approaches each new project like a Digital Age detective: Using low-angle aerial photography, maps, computer models combined with complex data sets and other graphic evidence, Berger visually reveals evidence of landscape waste—dead or under-utilized land areas—and how they interact with the environment and man-made patterns of behavior over time. GIS (Geographic Information Systems) computer technology can, he says, stack information in a new way "to see relationships that the normal visual or physical experience in the landscape wouldn't be able to reveal." Then Berger will, in some cases, work to redirect the flow of water, move hills around, build islands where there were none and plant new species to absorb pollution, create more natural artificial landscapes that can ultimately sustain themselves.
Besides the marshes project, Berger is working with the French government to analyze landscape waste around Paris; he also is involved in a 2,400-acre reclamation project in the French Gulch area around the community of Breckenridge, Colorado, that is part of a larger initiative to clean up an abandoned lead-zinc-copper-sulfide and gold ore mine as part of a Superfund cleanup underwritten by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Key to all of his work is the discovery of how life has adapted to spoiled environments; the French Gulch project is an example. "When non-native trout species were introduced to the mountain streams there (as part of an earlier reclamation effort)," Berger says, "no one realized that they would quickly out-compete the native trout species" and push them onto the endangered species list: Berger discovered that the polluted mine drainage waters are actually protecting the native species from being destroyed by the fish newcomers. "Clean this up and the native species will not survive," says Berger.
Meet Milo, a completely digital boy who can recognize human faces, voices and emotions. Developed by Peter Molyneux and his team at the digital game creator, Lionhead Studios, Milo represents the latest in human-machine interaction technology—a big step in artificial intelligence that will not just revolutionize computer gaming. It's also sure to influence the way people communicate across the metaverse—as well as offline.
Molyneux told the Webzine Eurogamer during the recent Electronic Entertainment Expo, where Milo was first unveiled, that the digital boy represents Lionhead's—and Microsoft's—efforts to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence. "The first thing we did was go round [to speak with] all the Microsoft people—the handwriting recognition people, the facial recognition people, the motion recognition people [involved in developing new upgrades for the Xbox 360]," Molyneux said. "We brought the technology together and put it in there. ...Milo can recognize what you're wearing. If he notices you've got dark bags under your eyes, he will say, 'You look tired today.'"
Milo is part of Project Natal—the code name for "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" for the Xbox 360. The add-on peripheral lets users control and interact with the Xbox 360 without a game controller, but rather through gestures, spoken commands, and presented objects and images. A release date has yet to be announced for the upgrade, but Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says the technology will be incorporated into a new Xbox 360, due for release some time in 2010.

Care experienced youngsters present insightful art exhibition
A group of children and young people from East Renfrewshire have used their experiences of care to develop an inspiring art exhibition.
Published: 5 February 2020
The exhibition has been created by the Mini Champs, a group between the ages of six and 14 who have care experience. The youngsters are part of the East Renfrewshire Champions Board who work alongside senior managers and elected members who properly listen and respond to what the children want and need to ensure that they have the best experience that they can of care.
'Character Building' is a collection of photographic portraits and sculptural games that explore the character traits that make the group and other young people in similar circumstances who they are today.
The exhibition that is being displayed at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, also has a unique interactive segment which uses a block-stacking game to showcase the views of young people from differing backgrounds. There is also a question and answer session designed to help provoke participant's thoughts about what is most important for children and young people who are care experienced and how others view them.
The exhibition was produced during a series of workshops at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and in the local community.
Councillor Caroline Bamforth, Convener for Social Work and Health said: 'I am delighted that Mini Champs have been given this platform to showcase their life experiences in such a positive manner. This exhibition is thought-provoking and offers the perfect opportunity for us all to reflect and learn more about the lives of care experienced young people. Well done to all of the young people involved in this project - your hard work and dedication has helped you to create a fantastic exhibition which you should be incredibly proud of.'
The exhibition will be held at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 1 Queen Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2JD from 6 February until 30 April 2020.
This project was produced by the National Galleries of Scotland Learning and Engagement Department, in conjunction with Mini Champs who are supported by Who Cares? Scotland.

What a day in sports. As many of you probably know by now I am a huge tennis fan. Last year I was lucky enough to be in London during the finals of Wimbledon getting engaged, so I was lucky enough to miss the the 5 setter with Nadal taking out Federer. Today's match between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick was just as epic as last years match if not even more so. Watching Roddick hold serve for 4 straight hours without letting the best player of all time break him was beyond impressive.
When the match was over I was excited that Roger had broken Pete Sampras most grand slam record of 14 grand slam titles but I also was feeling it for Roddick. The guy really gave it everything he had and to me it seemed like he deserved the win. When it is all said and done Federer continue to shows why he is the best player of all time. Another amazing Wimbledon final.

Finally, after weeks and weeks of dealing with a hacked website and then going on vacation, I'm back to the blog. And to catch up, I need to head all the way back to February and our week of living like rock stars.
On February 9, Cami Alys and I flew from Austin to Park City UT for a gig at the Eccles Center, the flagship venue for the Sundance Film Festival. I had arranged for the presenters to take care of our ground transportation (car service to and from the airport and around town while we were there) and hotel rooms. At their insistence, they added in free lift tickets for the whole company! Anyway, Cami and I were scheduled to hold a Foley workshop for the kids in the high school there on Friday the 10th, so we flew out a day early from the group.
When we landed in Park City, Jenny, our amazing venue contact, picked us up and drove us to the hotel. And what a hotel! Right at the base of one of the ski mountains! Each room had its own kitchen, dining room, and fireplace! We were living in the true lap of luxury. Cami and I had dinner at one of the restaurants at the resort, which was delicious though more than Cami's per diem so I treated her.
Higgins makes a snow angel!
The next day we did our workshop which went over great and the rest of the team arrived. I was already getting a headache due to the altitude and the next morning was completely delirious. But my 12-year-old daughter had just learned that water is the most efficient way to get oxygen to the muscles so I drank tons and tons of water. Still, the altitude kind of got to everyone. I was worried that one of the actors might just collapse on stage or something during the show, but thankfully that didn't happen.
The crew at the Eccles was outstanding and everything went super-smoothly. About 400 people came out, which in a small city like Park City, was pretty amazing to me. More amazingly was the fact that a few people had driven from more than 2 hours away because they heard about the show on NPR!!
After the show we went to a party thrown by the folks at the Eccles Center and I had a great conversation with the guy who I found out had sponsored our appearance. He was hilarious–dressed in a 1930s dinner jacket and just a huge fan of what we had done. I also spoke with another board member who invited me to go skiing with him the next day. I asked him if he was really serious because I might actually take advantage of the offer. He was and I did! Finally, I had a great chat with Teri Orr, the amazingly inventive Executive Director who found our show and brought us out. She and her team were incredible hosts and I really do hope we have the chance to bring the sequel out to them next season!
The whole cast had voted to stay an extra day to take advantage of the ski passes, so the next day we all went out. I was the only one with actual skiing experience, so it was really fun to hear about everyone's efforts, particularly from Kenny, whose birthday it was! Poor Kenny had a miserable time trying to snowboard, but afterwards we were chatting in his room and he realized that, holy mackerel, he had gone skiing for the first time!
That night I cooked a bolognese sauce for the whole team and we ate a huge pasta dinner in one of our extremely fancy hotel rooms. The next day we split up with half of the group heading back to Austin and the other half off to Los Angeles for our appearance on CONAN!

Straight-to-the-point movie reviews: from Action to Zombies
Se7en / Seven
Se7en (aka Seven, 7, Sept, Siete, Sieben, セブン, 七, 일곱 …) during a veteran detective's final week a gruesome serial killer surfaces, whose work is based around the seven deadly sins. Despite being released in the mid-90s and framed as 'modern' this has a sense of timelessness; it's puply and Noir to the core – especially Freeman's character, who's straight out of the 40s. This is just part of Fincher's portrait of an extremely nihilistic vision of 'downtown' America – a nameless, timeless city characterised by sirens, rain, fear, vice and filthy, dilapidated buildings mirroring their residents. It's a dingy look, but one that has subsequently influenced a lot of movies and TV (The US Killing as a prime example). Whilst the story takes a while to properly get going once it gains momentum it's an unstoppable force -right through to the very last scene. It's also remarkable that 20 years on it's still effective, and shocking – which is a testament to Fincher's directorial skill. Despite all of the larger than life blood and guts, Se7en is all about the minor details; everything helps to flesh out the characters and explain their behaviours – allowing you to pick out more details every time you watch it, which is what makes it a classic.
Sightseers: Chris and Tina are having a wild holiday: transport museum, pencil museum, stone circles… and the occasional murder. At the heart of this film are two great, stripped back, performances that really aid the shock and laugh factors – especially in that they're both played so straight, normal and plain 'anorak' types. Alice Lowe in particular has the added slant of being exceptionally sheltered and not quite all there – both acted superbly. The humour and jokes are absolutely jet-black (dark matter/black hole black); most laughs are immediately followed "WTF did I just hear/see?!" thoughts, which is a refreshing reaction. Despite being dry, witty, black and comedic, it's absolutely rooted in reality, with the down-to-earth characters, and boring settings and caravan lifestyle. This will do well overseas, but the British awkwardness and self-deprecation really helps you adds to the appreciate of this. A film as bold, intense and claustrophobic as Kill List would always be near-impossible to follow, but Wheatley has a right-good stab at this and produces one of the most memorable black comedies of recent times.
War of the Arrows
War of the Arrows (AKA: Arrow, the Ultimate Weapon): [No points for guessing which of the titles is American]. In the second Manchurian invasion of Korea a talented archer has to evade capture, and save his sister from the aggressors. At a glance this looks like just another historical Asian film, but don't be fooled. It's far more engaging than the run-of-the-mill, politically skewed, national pride / anniversary movies we've seen lately; the central character is developed beyond simply 'the hero'; it's also both character and action driven, and is centered around a simple story. Most importantly, it's unbelievably well-directed: looks great and very stylish, with intense & bloody fights (it has some of the coolest action scenes in a loooong time), and great use of multiplying many small locations together and making this feel like a huge story. All of this makes the story more immersive, which is most evident during a fist-pumping underdog uprising and final act. Having become turned off by the though of watching another historical Asian flick, War of the Arrows is a great film that re-instated my interest in the genre – it hits the target, bullseye! South Korea does it again.
UP [Blu Ray] An elderly widower tries to achieve his lifelong dream of living in South America, but picks up a few inadvertent companions on the way. This one's definitely pitched way younger than other Pixar films and while there's some happy moments, overall it's pretty grim, with some real tearjerking scenes. The ensemble of dogs lighten up the film and were the only things I really enjoyed: poor grammar, dog-based jokes, squirrel etc. Blu Ray presentation is absolutely fantastic, the picture is so vibrant and much of the scenes look like 3D. Best looking BD I've seen. Sound/Music is just as important as the dialogue – and it sets the mood / plays with your feelings, to the point of being explicitly manipulative. Up is a super-crazy adventure for kids, but a little shallow and cutesy for the grown ups.
22 Bullets (aka The Immortal): A retired mobster-turned-family-man gets left for dead with 22 bullets in him; once recovered, he's out for revenge, and nothing's going to stop it. Instantly, you realise that technically, this film is the definition of slick: camerawork, direction, editing, music, and acting – all fantastic. After the initial 30 minutes of set-up and character introductions the rest is all plot progression and action, of a high standard; car chase, bike chase, shootouts, assassinations etc. Reno's still got it, most evidently in a couple of high-intensity scenes where he succeeds in sucking you straight into the film, and gets you rooting for the antihero. The female police officer (Foïs) also stands above the bar, although there are no duds in the cast. The publicity material plays off of Leon/The Professional, but this is as good a stand-alone film. While it may not be one of the most original revenge stories, it sticks to the tried formula and comes out way above average. Recommended.
Blindness: Julianne Moore plays the only sighted person in a compound for the quarantined during an epidemic of infectious blindness. Best part: lots of out of focus shots, conga lines, people walking in to things / falling over and random nudeness. Worst part: Children Of Men esque level of prophetic future gloom. As the quarantined spend longer in their prison human nature drives events to desperation, then worse, and worse… and worse. Depending on your disposition the film will become overbearing or hyper-dramatic – I landed in the latter camp, and despite the bleakness, couldn't believe how much the last hour reeled me in. The camera's used interestingly throughout, to convey certain people's point-of-view, which enables you to feel right in the action. The underrated Mark Rofallo is ace, and Bernal plays a great villain and Moore pretty much mopes for the duration, but pulls it off quite well. The tone ends up somewhere between an inspiration and a critique of human nature. Blindness is an awesome idea, pulled off reasonably well. Check it out if you like your drama extra strong.

"The Voyage" is a very famous modern Irish classic song by the Irish musician, singer-songwriter Johnny Duhan. Unsure of his own vocal capabilities, he offered it to the Irish singer Christy Moore who recorded a version in 1989 that became the definitive and most well-known version of the song. Johnny Duhan went on to record his own version for his similarly titled album The Voyage that was released much later in 2005. The song has been interpreted by a great number of artists and translated into other languages

The idea to write on the family theme grew organically out of Johnny Duhan's earlier excavations of family history. Measuring the early struggles of his own marriage against his parents' rocky relationship, he first wrote a song called "Trying to Get the Balance Right", and this led on to reflections on the whole institution of marriage and child rearing.

"The Voyage" tackles the struggle of marriage and expresses its familial difficulties. Despite his own personal difficulties, Duhan felt he would write in this song about the more positive side of the marriage adventure with deep conviction and sincerity.

He says the chorus of the song came to him out the blue, affecting him tremendously, mainly because he felt that it got to the nub of what family life is ultimately about - the children.

Life is an ocean, love is a boat
In troubled waters it keeps us afloat,
When we started the voyage
There was just me and you,
Now look around us,
We have our own crew

Christy Moore version
In 1989 , the first of many covers of the song "The Voyage" was made by the Irish singer Christy Moore. Most critics consider it as the definitive version of the song. It certainly remains the most famous version of the song. In the folk section of iTunes download charts, Christy's version has almost had a permanent place in the top ten since the chart was established.

Impact
Ever since Moore's versions, "The Voyage"'s fame remains solid. Politicians, clergymen, writers, journalists and school teachers have eulogised the lyric. Choirs often sing it as part of their repertoire. Comedians gag on it. Marriage counsellors swear by it.

Music experts note most modern popular songs have a relatively short life span. But "The Voyage" grows more popular with age. Many standard ballads are restricted by national boundaries. But "The Voyage" is sung all over the world in English and in many other languages.

Niall Stokes of Hot Press magazine has predicted that "The Voyage" will be around long after most popular rock songs are long forgotten. This echoes Christy Moore's assessment that the song is destined for a high place in the cannon of "folk standards". If "The Voyage" is on its way to becoming a modern classic, as many believe, its intrinsic appeal lies in the affection most of us feel for our families.

Christy Moore stated that "The Voyage" has been performed "at over a million weddings worldwide, not to mention anniversaries, funerals and other occasions".

Other versions

In 2008,  Irish singing group Celtic Thunder recorded a version on their album Celtic Thunder

In 2011, Celtic singer Donna Taggart recorded a version on the album Celtic Lady Vol. 1

In 2014, Irish singer songwriter Lee Matthews recorded a version on his album A Little Bitty Country. Matthews also released an official music video for his interpretation on November 18, 2014.

The numbing effects of Novocaine typically wear off after 30 to 60 minutes, although several other factors play a role in how long the drug's effects last.
Novocaine is the brand name for a local anesthetic called procaine. It is a local anesthetic medication that is used to numb a particular part of the body. It is most commonly used in dental procedures to numb the area around a tooth.
In this article, we take a closer look at Novocaine and its effects.
Novocaine is one of the shortest-acting local anesthetic shots. Its effects typically last for 30 to 60 minutes. If Novocaine is given alongside epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, it may continue to work for up to 90 minutes.
The dose of Novocaine administered will depend on the procedure being performed.
The higher the dose of Novocaine, the longer its numbing effects will last.
A root canal treatment will require more Novocaine than a simple filling, for example.
Anesthetic effects vary slightly from person-to-person. The presence of certain medical conditions may also affect how the body breaks Novocaine down.
Novocaine is broken down in the body by an enzyme called pseudocholinesterase.
However, approximately 1 in every 5,000 people have a pseudocholinesterase deficiency and cannot metabolize Novocaine or other anesthetics. As a result, the effects of Novocaine last much longer in people with this condition.
Other conditions can cause people to be less sensitive to local anesthetics. People with a rare disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, for example, may require higher amounts of anesthetic to achieve numbness.
Anesthetic is less effective when used on an infected tooth. An infection causes the tissue to become more acidic, and local anesthetic is sensitive to pH levels. Inflammation also reduces the effectiveness of local anesthetic, especially during dental procedures.
Because of this, a dentist may need to use more Novocaine on an infected tooth than they do on a healthy tooth.
The use of epinephrine with Novocaine is probably the most important factor in determining the length of time an area will remain numb.
Epinephrine causes the blood vessels to get smaller. This reduces blood flow around the injection site and keeps the anesthetic confined to that area for longer than usual. Epinephrine also minimizes bleeding.
People with some medical problems, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, may require an epinephrine-free shot.
What is Novocaine used for?
Novocaine is commonly used during dental procedures.
Novocaine was developed in 1905 and became the first widely used local anesthetic in the United States. Local anesthesia does not cause a loss of consciousness before a medical procedure, unlike a general anesthetic.
People who get a local anesthetic are still awake for the procedure but cannot feel the area of the body being treated.
Novocaine and similar drugs work by stopping nerves in the body from sending pain signals to the brain.
Local anesthetics are commonly used during dental procedures, such as removing a tooth or filling a cavity.
In recent years, Novocaine has been replaced by newer local anesthetics because their numbing effects last longer. Novocaine may however still be used during some procedures.
Novocaine is a kind of local anesthetic, meaning it only affects the area where it is applied. Learn more about local anesthesia here.
What does getting Novocaine feel like?
First, a dentist will use cotton rolls or air to dry the part of the mouth being treated. Then they will apply a numbing gel to the skin.
Next, the dentist will slowly inject Novocaine into the gum tissue around the affected tooth. Most people experience a stinging sensation at this point. This feeling is not caused by the needle, but by the anesthetic entering the tissue.
Novocaine acts quickly, causing people to lose feeling in the affected area within 5 minutes or so. People should no longer feel pain at this point, although they may be able to feel pressure or movement around the area being treated.
Once the anesthetic begins to wear off, people regain feeling in the tooth first, followed by the lips and tongue People may find it difficult to eat, drink, or speak clearly until the numbness subsides.
Headaches and drowsiness are potential side effects of Novocaine.
These effects are usually mild and wear off within a few hours.
It is essential that people tell their dentist about any over-the-counter or prescription medications they are taking as some medications can interact with Novocaine.
It is also important that people inform the dentist of any health conditions they may have so they can choose the best anesthetic for them, and administer it in the right dose.
Usually, Novocaine's effects wear off once blood circulation increases and carries the drug away in the bloodstream. This happens relatively quickly, but some people may wish to speed up the process.
Local anesthetic may be broken down faster if the person goes for a walk or engages in activity after their treatment. Physical activity increases blood flow in the body. However, it is important to get the go-ahead from a doctor or dentist before engaging in exercise soon after a procedure.
Alternatively, a dentist can use a substance called OraVerse to reverse the effects of an anesthetic. A dentist can inject this medication after the procedure to make the numbing go away.
Research suggests that OraVerse is safe to use and does not interact with other medications. It costs extra, however, and insurance does not cover it.
Novocaine is a safe and effective local anesthetic. It is most commonly used in dentistry for procedures that take less than 90 minutes to perform. Several factors affect the time Novocaine lasts, including the dose and the use of epinephrine.
In recent years, newer local anesthetics have been used instead of Novocaine, including lidocaine (Xylocaine) and articaine. These drugs are also very safe to use, and their effects tend to last longer than Novocaine.
People undergoing a medical or dental procedure should discuss their questions and concerns with their doctor or dentist.

Well, I Fly That Low
I read your editorial "The Drones Are Here" with interest. You asked the question "When was the last time you flew below 400 feet away from an airport?" My answer is: yesterday.
As a seaplane pilot, I do this all the time over bodies of water. So do thousands of other seaplane and helicopter pilots. There is no way on earth that we would ever be able to "see and avoid" these tiny toy aircraft—at least not in time for the "avoid" part—and for sure, their untrained operators would not be likely to anticipate and avoid us.
It is not a matter of if, but when someone will be killed by these dangerous drone operations. I guess our lives are less important than the interests of hundreds of thousands of drone hobbyists.
Marc Rodstein
Wellington, FL
Good point, Marc. You're right. I didn't consider typical off-airport operations. In fact, that's embarrassing since I have a Commercial SES myself. I've also landed a Super Cub with tundra tires on a gravel bar in the middle of a river.
However, I can't imagine that the normally off-airport remote places we operate float planes or bush planes will be a hotbed of "these tiny toy aircraft." So, for now, the realistic risk is quite low, but admittedly not zero, and is increasing. That's why I called for the FAA to act quickly and decisively before, not after, there's a problem.
You briefly touched on what is probably the biggest risk, and that is to helicopters, especially emergency-services operators. These brave pilots operate in difficult urban environments all the time. There, they are far more likely to encounter a small, even "toy" camera drone operated by a well-meaning citizen trying to capture his/her moment of fame.
Where Did My Fixes Go?
I was recently flying an ILS that I had properly programmed into my Garmin GNS 430W. I'd selected vectors to final as that is what I was getting.
At some point I think the controller grew tired of me and simply gave me direct to a fix on the approach and cleared me from there for the approach. However, trying to select that in the 430, the fix was missing.
I've seen this behavior before, but never quite so troubling. In the past I wasn't assigned direct to a fix, but instead was told to contact tower or some other instruction that required less precision.
Why aren't those fixes displayed on my navigator or even on my moving map?
Sal Cruz
It is standard behavior in the industry when selecting vectors to final that all the intermediate fixes except the FAF and the runway threshold fix will disappear from the flight plan. It even happens on the FMS boxes in big iron.
This is done simply to declutter the map and flight plan with the reasoning that with vectors, you no longer need those fixes. To circumvent this behavior, simply select the approach using something other than vectors to final, typically from an IAF that's most appropriate (least inappropriate?) for your direction of flight. Then, when you start getting the vectors, select direct to the appropriate fix—the furthest fix from the runway you'll actually fly over. When you get vectored over/near that fix, the flight plan will be in synch with your flight path.
We checked with Garmin on this to confirm the behavior. They volunteered that this one "feature" has been a subject of some debate and there's no clear choice one way or the other. So, they're considering a possible future software update that could include a pilot-selectable option that wouldn't remove those fixes, instead simply leaving them in a more subdued color.
We encouraged that option because, as you observed, not having those fixes can sometimes cause some problems. Note, though, that "considered for a future software update" is a long way from under development or even planned.
RNAV SIDs and STARs
Great article, and timely. It just so happens I got to fly the BRDGE 7 STAR into Tampa Exec (VDF) from Palm Beach Co. Park (LNA) in my Twin Comanche during a Mercy Flight mission the day after reading the article.
In the article, Frank notes that for a speed restriction that changes between fixes, maintain current fix restriction speed until you need to slow down to make the next fix restriction (assuming the speed is slower). I assume the same holds true for altitude restrictions.
Given no other ATC altitude instructions you would fly 2600 from RSW until you need to descend to make 2000 as you cross ROGAN. ATC will understand you are descending to make the 2000 restriction at ROGAN. For my flight I was given 8000 out of LNA, radar vectors to LBV then BRDGE 7. I stayed at 8000 until directed by ATC to descend to 6000 around ROGAN. Perhaps I should have been at 2000 from LBV onward and crossed LBV at 2000?

You have a couple misunderstandings, Greg.
First, this is not an RNAV STAR, so the information in the article is largely not applicable. RNAV procedures have the word, "RNAV" in the title.
Second, the altitudes you see on the legs are leg MEAs, not crossing restrictions. Restrictions (altitude and/or speed) are always noted at a fix as shown on the procedure in the article.
Also, not all RNAV procedures include altitude and/or speed restrictions. For example, the DEAKK 4 procedure for the same Tampa Executive is an RNAV procedure, but there are no crossing restrictions beyond the expected altitudes for planning. In this case, just fly the speeds and altitudes that you're assigned by the controller, as always.
Last, it sounds as if ATC gave you absolute altitude assignments ("Descend and maintain…). You need to comply with those, regardless of the procedure you're flying. On an RNAV STAR, you would only follow the charted fix (not leg) altitude restrictions AFTER you're given, "Descend via the … arrival." Do not confuse "Cleared via…" with a descent clearance since the "Cleared via…" is merely a routing clearance.
So, in flying the BRDGE 7, you'd merely fly altitudes and speeds as assigned while following the charted course. Nothing else.

is it possible to get the Installation.pdf file from this printing job?
if it is possible can anyone show me the proper way to do it?
It's not a PDF, instead it's a printer job using HP Printer Job Language (PJL).
Yes it is, now what I want to know is that can I get the original PDF that was printed with that PJL?
Unless you can find a PJL to PDF converter I think that's a no.

Q: Take when id not equal in laravel This is my code:
$question = message::with('category')->where([['id', $id], ['type', 1]])->whereColumn([['id', 'f_id']])->first();
$sameid=$question['fcat_id'];
$similar=message::orderBy('id','DESC')->where([['fcat_id',$sameid],['type',1],['answer',2]])->whereColumn('id','f_id')->take(6)->select('id','title')->get();

i want in $similar take when id in similar not equal with $question.
how can do i it?

A: You can add another condition in your where() function which contains ['id', '!=', $question->id] for $similar.
$similar=message::orderBy('id','DESC')->where([['fcat_id',$sameid],['type',1],['answer',2],['id', '!=', $question->id]])->whereColumn('id','f_id')->take(6)->select('id','title')->get();

Storage and handling of colorant and maintaining dispensers and jet mixers ensures superior Sto color product.
The professionals at Sto take color very seriously as demonstrated in our recent series on color. From Sto Studio to the Sto Color Lab, the company's commitment to refined design is clearly demonstrated by the many resources it devotes to the art and science of color.
In addition to learning color theory at the Sto Tint School and how to best help customers realize their color requirements, Sto employees are also trained in tint product care and storage. Colorant, for instance, should be stored in a warm space — 65 degrees is the minimum – and automated dispensers should have a ceramic space heater with a thermostat blowing inside the cabinet to ensure the proper care and storage of colorant. Mixing colorant correctly is as critical as its storage, and is also an important part of employee training, as are equipment use and maintenance.
Basic dispenser and jet mixer instruction at the Sto Tint School includes calibration guidelines. Calibration is an important, but simple test to ensure a machine is dispensing colorant at an acceptable level of accuracy. Sto recommends using a digital cigar-box style pocket scale to calibrate properly.
The Sto color tech experts, recommend calibration twice a year, or any time you suspect one or more canisters has become unreliable. They even offer a video on tinting equipment calibration — one of many demonstration videos in the Sto website video gallery. The Machine Technology section of the video gallery offers clips on mixing and storing color product, as well as basic maintenance such as changing a seal on a tinting machine.
Sto produces world class color finishes and coatings, but handling these products properly and understanding them turns these superior quality color products into exceptional works of beauty that manifest technological prowess in the built environment.
The Sto Tint School trains Sto employees and distributors to be experts in the world of color in order to provide exemplary customer support for Sto's coatings and finishes.
In addition to the Sto Studio design services and the Sto Color Lab which we've described in previous blogs, the Sto Tint School is yet another asset that helps differentiate Sto Corp. in the building materials marketplace today. At Sto, consistent material selection and consistent formulation results in consistent color and a superior product; at the Sto Tint School they strive to ensure quality customer service to support the tinted product.
At the Tint School in Atlanta, Sto employees and distributors are trained to be coating and finish specialists. There, they are schooled in the art and science of color, including an overview of color theory. This includes a primer on hue, chroma, and lightness (the attributes of every color) and an introduction to color creation based on the color wheel with its three primary colors of red, yellow and blue.
Students learn the elementary basics of color: Colors next to each other on the color wheel are referred to as harmonious; colors directly across from each other on the wheel (such as red and green) are called complementary. Mix two primary colors and you get a secondary color (red & yellow = orange; blue & yellow=green); mix a primary and a secondary color, you get what's called an "intermediate" color.
The school also provides a primer on colorant — teaching, for instance, the differences between inorganic and organic colorant.
Made from raw materials and carefully tested before being distributed, Sto colorant is optimally formulated for use in water-based products and is generally stronger than other colorants used in the coatings market. A high-quality colorant is utilized for exterior use where UV resistance is required.
Tint School students learn that if a color needs to be a shade darker, you don't add black; you add all the colorants in the formula in equal proportions. They learn the importance of matching a color standard, and that to do so they need to provide a clean color chart sample versus a popsicle stick dipped in material or paint smeared thinly on a piece of cardboard. They learn that appearance characteristics such as gloss, texture, and sheen make a color "look" different and that these characteristics cannot be altered with colorant.
Sto Tint School graduates become color experts who can tackle any issue involving color, providing smart, educated guidance to their partners in the building profession. It's about understanding color and Sto's products, but it's also about the equipment and production of these products. So next week we'll be discussing basic dispenser/jet mixer maintenance and calibration, and other important topics also covered at the Tint School.

Do new cases of rheumatoid arthritis cluster in time or in space?
Silman, A. and Bankhead, C. and Rowlingson, B. and Brennan, P. and Symmons, D. and Gatrell, A. C. (1997) Do new cases of rheumatoid arthritis cluster in time or in space? International Journal of Epidemiology, 26 (3). pp. 628-634.
Official URL: https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/26.3.628
OBJECTIVES: To examine for evidence of clustering in time, in space and in space/time in the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). SETTING: A population-based incidence register of RA in the East Anglian region of the UK: population size 413,000. SUBJECTS: In all 687 new cases of inflammatory joint disease registered between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 1994 were studied. Population data were obtained from postcode areas by age and sex. ANALYSIS: Time trend analysis was conducted over the first 36 months and observed and expected distributions compared. Spatial clustering was based on comparison of observed distribution using map grid references to random expectation based on simulation. A similar procedure was undertaken for time/space clustering. RESULTS: There was no evidence of a time trend. There was only modest evidence of spatial clustering with non-random distribution observed in one area but there was no evidence of time/space clustering. CONCLUSION: Although a viral aetiology is the strongest candidate for RA, no evidence of a localized event in time was associated with disease development in this population.

Supplements can help your bones, your muscles, and many other parts of your body. What about your heart? Research shows that some of them may help lower cholesterol, improve blood pressure, and other things that put you at risk for heart disease. It's unclear, though, if they help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other problems.
Here are six nutrients that can be a good addition to your heart-healthy lifestyle.
Fiber. Found naturally in fruits, grains, vegetables, and legumes, fiber cuts down the amount of cholesterol your body soaks up from food. Try to get at least 25 to 30 grams of it every day. Men less than age 51 should aim for 38 grams a day. It's best to get your daily dose from your diet, but supplements are another option. There's good evidence that blond psyllium husk -- common in fiber supplements -- can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. It can also raise the "good" kind, HDL. Other fiber supplements include methylcellulose, wheat dextrin, and calcium polycarbophil.. If you take a fiber supplement, increase the amount you take slowly. This can help prevent gas and cramping. It's also important to drink enough liquids when you increase your fiber intake.
Sterols and stanols. Find these in foods like nuts and grains, or you can buy them as supplements. They reduce the amount of cholesterol that your body absorbs from food. They're also added to many foods, such as some margarines, orange juice, and yogurts. Experts recommend 2 grams a day to help lower LDL cholesterol for people who have high cholesterol.
Coenzyme Q10 ( CoQ10 ). Your body naturally makes small amounts of this enzyme, also known as ubiquinone and ubiquinol. As a supplement, CoQ10 may help lower blood pressure, either on its own or along with medications. Other studies have found that adding it to heart failure drugs may help people feel better day to day.
CoQ10 pills are also popular as a treatment for the side effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins. Why? These meds can sometimes lower the amount of CoQ10 the body makes on its own. Some doctors suggest adding a CoQ10 supplement to make up for the loss, hoping it will relieve problems like muscle pain and weakness. But study results have been mixed.
Fish oil . Full of omega-3 fatty acids, it can slash levels of triglycerides -- an unhealthy fat in your blood -- by up to 30%. It may also improve blood pressure. But it's not clear if non-prescription fish oil supplements lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. Your best bet may be to eat fish with omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends that all adults eat at least two 3.5-ounce servings of fish a week.
Garlic. Not only does it make just about anything taste delicious, it could also slightly lower blood pressure. It may slow the buildup of plaque in your arteries, lowering your risk of blood clots. Research shows that both garlic in food and in supplements may help.
Green tea . Research shows that both the extract and the drink may lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and raise HDL levels.
Don't take a supplement just because it's labeled "heart healthy." Not all of them are guaranteed to help you, and it can be dangerous to get too much of some of them.
Pay attention to what the supplement does, and make sure you really need it. Ask your doctor which product is most likely to help. If you have a heart condition or for a high risk for a heart attack, you must follow your doctor's advice. It's way too risky to try to treat a serious health condition on your own with over-the-counter supplements.

GraphQL is often heralded as the replacement of REST. Internally developed by Facebook and released to the general public in 2015, GraphQL is a query language that's more flexible and richer than REST.
GraphQL unifies data that would otherwise exist in multiple endpoints and creates packages to reduce the number of roundtrips you need to make. It also has a very sophisticated typing system that allows for specific queries, which alleviates the problems that come with over- and under-fetching.
As such, tools have been developed that make working with GraphQL easier. This is a list of the most popular GraphQL tools, as ranked by GitHub stars.
GraphiQL is an in-browser IDE perfect for testing and documenting GraphQL APIs. It uses a React component to render the GraphiQL editor.
GraphiQL allows for syntax highlighting, intelligent type ahead of fields, arguments, and types, real-time error highlighting and reporting, and automatic query completion.
Alternatives to GraphiQL are GraphQL Playground (4.2K⭐) and Altair (1.1K⭐).
The GraphQL Visual Editor makes it easy to understand any GraphQL schema. You can plan out the relations between your resources and draw them out. The editor will then transform them into code.
You don't need GraphQL knowledge to start using the editor. Have a look at some of their examples here.
Tipe is an API-first CMS built from a GraphQL schema, although it's possible to access your data through a REST API too.
Tipe has an inline editor and allows for offline prototyping, so you can work locally while Tipe generates mock content for your API.
GraphDoc is a static page generator for documenting a GraphQL schema. Have a look at their Star Wars, GitHub, Shopify, and Pokemon examples.
If you set GraphDoc up correctly, it will give you an up-to-date link that helps people figure out what data is available and how they can query that data.
GraphCMS is a headless GraphQL CMS that makes it easy to build a GraphQL backend, while also providing tools for content creators to create and manage their content.
It comes with image processing, webhooks, multi-project management, and more. The developer plan is free, while prices for more advanced use of the software range from $49 a month to $499+ a month.
What are your favorite GraphQL tools? And your favorite GraphQL implementations? Let us know in the comments below.

Considering Publics and Contexts
This March, Independent Curators International (ICI) produces the Curatorial Intensive: Considering Publics and Contexts, a ten-day professional development program that offers curators the opportunity to discuss, among colleagues, the concepts, logistics, and challenges of organizing exhibitions.
Project 35 is a program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who have each chosen one work by an artist that they think is important for audiences around the world to experience today. The resulting compendium is released in four installments and is presented simultaneously in an ever-expanding number of venues.
Independent Curators International (ICI) supports the work of curators to help create stronger art communities through experimentation, collaboration, and international engagement. Curators are arts community leaders and organizers who champion artistic practice; build essential infrastructures and institutions; and generate public engagement with art. Our collaborative programs connect curators across generations, and across social, political and cultural borders. They form an international framework for sharing knowledge and resources — promoting cultural exchange, access to art, and public awareness for the curator's role.
