The Government didn't install cameras and microphones in our homes. We did.
Posted on Dec 30, 2016 by Rick Falkvinge
It begins: Amazon's constantly-listening robotic home assistant was near a domestic murder case, and now the Police wants access to anything it might have heard. There have been similar cases in the past, but this is where it starts getting discussed: There are now dozens of sensors in our house. Do we still have an expectation of privacy in our home?
A recurring theme in the dystopic fiction of the 1950s was an everpresent government watching everything you did, as witnessed in the infamous Nineteen Eighty-Four and many others. Adding to the dystopia, starting in the 1970s with movies such as Colossus, computers are typically added to the mix of watching everything all the time.
However, these fictional dystopias all got one critical thing wrong in predicting the future: the government never installed cameras and microphones in everybody's home. We did. We did it ourselves. And we paid good money for them, too. A smart television set — with infrared cameras built in, watching the people watching the television set as well as listening to them — costs good money that we happily paid.
"The television set received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the government plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live–did live, from habit that became instinct–in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." — 1984
And now, the police wants access to all of it, not unlike in the brilliant short movie Plurality. In news this week, the police has just requested access to the recordings made by an Amazon smart unit in the home in order to solve a murder.
Of course, it always starts like this. A murder case. One murder case. The next time, it's an assault rape case. The public opinion wants blood, and privacy has no value compared to catching a killer or rapist. So somebody, somewhere with authority, decides that privacy doesn't apply in cases "like this". Then, the government notes this mechanism has already been used for "felonies" – severe crime in general – and decides to apply the same rule for tax evasion, a decision which has no support in public opinion, but which is a crime that the government considers severe. A few more years, and the blanket privacy invasion is used to sue teenagers sharing music and to issue the mundanest of parking tickets.
(I want to point out that this ridiculous example of a slippery slope is exactly what happened with the hated mandatory Internet logging laws in Europe. They started out against murder cases and mass-murder terrorism, and before even a decade had passed, the privacy invasions were used against "all crime, including ticket-level misdemeanors", and the copyright industry had special private access to the surveillance data for the purpose of suing people. This isn't made up, it's exactly what happens. The European Supreme Court struck that shit down as utterly unconstitutional, but it took a decade.)
The question is as disturbing as it is important. Legally speaking, do we still have an expectation of privacy in our own home? Especially when we installed equipment for the express purpose of listening to us and watching us?
As the Snowden movie came out, it was highlighted yet again that our mobile phones are constantly-wiretappable microphones, as the movie version of Edward Snowden took everybody's phones and put them in a Faraday cage in his hotel room. How long until this is an ordinary reflex with ordinary people, and not just the most knowledgeable? "You had to live — did live, from habit that became instinct — that every sound you made was overheard…"
Legally speaking, do we still have an expectation of privacy in our own home?
There are dozens of microphones and cameras in an ordinary household today. Not to mention all the other sensors: Wirelessly connected scales, cooking equipment, lighting, cars, toothbrushes, energy sensors, fridges. All connected. All wiretappable. If you haven't used the "calm" color setting on the lights in your home in a while, the government has the ability to know. If your body fat increases, or if you don't brush your teeth regularly. If you change your coffee grind, or switch to stronger espresso. If you undercook your meat. The list goes on.
There are five separate and important aspects to this.
The first question is if law enforcement can plant surveillance on suspects of serious crime, using their own equipment. Most people would agree that this is reasonable.
The second question is if law enforcement can retroactively activate surveillance, as in the murder case above. As this requires watching and listening to everybody, all the time, it completely eliminates the concept of privacy (even if, as the police tends to argue, only a small fraction of collected data is used for later investigations: the same was true for letters in East Germany — they were all opened and analyzed, but only a small fraction of them were forwarded for later action).
The third question is if law enforcement can legally use your equipment against you: this requires breaking into your equipment and effectively taking control of it. This is a completely separate topic from the first question, which assumes law enforcement is using (and paying for) its own equipment to violate your privacy. Five years ago, it was uncovered that the German Federal Police had broken into ordinary people's computers to wiretap people – and with root access comes access to webcams and microphones, too. This is a deeply unsettling concept, one that gives national security employees a dangerous conflict of interest, as they're supposed to be keeping people safe but can use people's not-being-safe to make their own job easier, if this is permitted.
The third-and-a-half question is if law enforcement can coerce a third party to wiretap you retroactively, like Amazon or Google, eliminating your agency in the matter.
The fourth question is inter-country espionage, such as when the United States NSA broke into Belgacom (the Belgian national telecom operator) and wiretapped the entire European executive and legislative branches, in addition to Angela Merkel's personal phone. While outrageous, espionage at this level has always existed and to some degree it's up to every country to protect its own assets.
The fifth and final aspect is the notorious insecurity of all the connected things. The technology sector has only started to learn how to make secure software, including frequent patches. Other industries who are adding connectivity as a bonus feature – scales, fridges, toasters – will be notoriously insecure, won't patch, and will be around homes for decades.
This discussion is just getting started. Privacy remains your own responsibility.

A good article, also consider bio metric data collection where your fingerprints, face, etc. are collected as the price to use a device. If the government decided everyone had to deliver this data right now would they not have a constitutional right to decline? Has the left devised mass data collection devices to override constitutional rights it deems burdensome?

Sixteen years ago today, our world was forever changed by an attack from the air that stole the lives of thousands of Americans. They had done nothing to provoke or deserve such a vicious assault. With few exceptions, they were not even armed. Those who did carry weapons only did so for local security. They were clerks, technicians, and managers; salesmen and accountants; computer techs and janitors. And yes, they were firefighters and police, who had rushed into a crumbling inferno for the desperate chance of saving what innocent lives they could.
As I read the variety of tributes, tender and profound, that were posted to social media today, I found myself strangely untouched, uncomfortably too comfortable, if I may ashamedly admit that. My mind was aware of the gravity of the day. My sense of value appreciated the depth of both beauty and evil that was put on display as we watched the events of that cataclysmic September in 2001. Yet my heart felt a disconnect, a distancing from the emotions that are normally present when I reflect on this time. To some degree I felt perplexed. Yet to a deeper degree I felt guilty, even embarrassed about my shallow response. This was a historic moment of exceeding proportions, but my tepid state was barely a blip on my emotional radar.
My humble confession is, instead, that I found my eyes filling up over the death on September 3rd of some guy named Walter Becker, one of the founding members of the band Steely Dan, whose music I used to bask in, soak in, drink in, as a youth many decades ago. It's not that I knew Mr. Becker, or that I even knew much about him. It wasn't that his death was in any way extraordinary, or unique, or even had an impact on my own state of affairs. My daily routine would not be affected in any manner by his passing.
But it was the fact that some of my closest friends, who used to share that music with me, who used to dream future dreams, and hope distant hopes under the serenade of those tunes had also passed away, far too early, and far too many years ago. It was a reminder that in spite of all that we thought we would enjoy together, life for them had ended long before it should. And as I wept over Walter, I wept in truth over Wilton, and Jay, and Sylvia, and too many other friends or family who never got to see 40, or 50, or 60 years of age.
And that's when it crystallized for me. That the lives lost on 9-11, quantified in statistics, honored and remembered on a broad, national platform, were and are grieved as individuals. Individuals with names, with dreams, with families. They were sons and daughters, husbands and wives, parents and grandparents, actively engaged in making a living by serving others with their time and their talents. And the people they use to dream with, and hope with, and plan with, never got to share those dreams, and hopes, and plans with them in the day they were finally fulfilled. At the table of celebration would be an empty chair. And their absence would be carried daily, the sound of their words hushed daily. The touch of their fingers, the glint of their eyes, and the joy of their laughter, missed daily.
And that, I believe, is the deeper tragedy of the 9-11 attacks. That the lives lost on that fateful day were judged by a few to be mere collateral for political ends. That the breath-taking mystery which every life embodies is anything less than the priceless miracle God intended it to be. That a breathing, caring, human soul can be simply and selfishly dismissed to make a point.
And now that my own soul has been properly shaken, and my perspective properly adjusted, my heartfelt prayer is that I will gain a greater awe of the handiwork of God that is the person standing in front of me, behind me, or beside me. May my words and actions reflect that true perspective, in honor of the God in whose image those lives were created.

The Disney Blog points to a cool Orlando Sentinel article on the ever-expanding online presence of ABC's Lost, focusing on official sites that build upon themes and information from the episodes. From the article:
ABC is developing an interactive website to delve into aspects of the show's mythology that will never be explored on air. Content for the site is being created by a "Lost" staff writer.
As technology has opened up the possibilities for accessing a TV program, the paradigm for marketing television shows has shifted, turning marketers and producers into partners.
In the spring, Disney-owned Hyperion Books will publish its second "Lost" book, a novel written by the passenger who got sucked into the engine in the pilot. The passenger, Gary Troupe, had e-mailed a manuscript to his publisher, and another copy will be found on the island, Lindelof said. Who actually wrote the book won't be revealed.
Writers who now suddenly find themselves blogging for their characters, creating novels for them or sharing perspective on a website will eventually need to be compensated for the extra work, Cuse said.
"That is very much going to be at the forefront of all the new labor negotiations, particularly with the Writers Guild, because writers are at the center of television series production and all of these new ideas are ultimately writer-based," Cuse said. "Right now, our involvement in this is about being involved in the cutting edge of these emerging technologies and learning how it works."
Just as iTunes transformed the music industry by turning singles into a viable revenue source again, Cuse and Lindelof believe their show is at the forefront of the television revolution.
"We're exploring a new frontier here in a lot of ways," Lindelof said. "So it's best to see what it is first, as opposed to everybody walking up to the cash register and saying, pay me, and then we'll do the exploring."
This isn't a particularly earth-shattering revelation for those of us Lost fanatics who blog about the show and have seen the official sites. We've known about the producers and writers penchant for volumes of extra information since early in the first season. Still, here's my list of official and unofficial sites that seek to broaden the story of the survivors beyond the confines of an hour-long TV drama.

I've blogged at length about most of these, so I'll spare you all the links.
One of the reasons I'm obsessed with the show is that the producers and writers are obsessed with the story, characters and universe of Lost. They spill out so many easter eggs, clues, mcguffins and whatnot, it's hard not to get caught up in it all. Plus, I'm fairly certain Lost viewers are incredibly smart, loyal and evangelical (about the show) – no doubt spurred on by the online components – which doesn't hurt ratings any.
UPDATE: I found a USA Today blog post talking about a psuedo-officil site: King Cross State Police.

can an I get those all addresses from anywhere by imei or the phone is bricked?
@tomchai Do you have any idea?
I don't know what was wrong at the first place. No water damage no short at all. Tristar wasn't short either. No body touched the phone before apart from restoring it with iTunes.
but there must be a way of getting all the addresses by imei or…..
Was there something wrong with the phone originally?
E.g liquid damage, VCC_Main short, bad battery along with tristar fault?
Any of these can cause short circuits to the NAND making it corrupt / fried and not fixable. Phone is probably bricked if you can't extract the SN / Wi-Fi mac info from it.
If the removed memory chip didn't provide anything, I don't think there is any backup for baseband data anywhere else.
so so I found a service I can retrieve the Bluetooth address and WiFi address from the serial number and imei number.
so for your information if it happens there is a solution for it.
Why not share with the community where you found this information. That's the whole point of this forum. It's one thing to ask for help, it's much better when you share the resolution so that everyone benefits.
You must have serial number of the phone or imei number. I ll share you the full video once it's ready.
Soft Solutions will be eternally grateful.

What's Up With Pippa Middleton's 'No Ring, No Bring' Policy?
ICYMI, the world's most famous bridesmaid is tying the knot on May 20th. Pippa Middleton and her hedge fund beau James Matthews are having a quintessentially English country celebration at her parent's sprawling manor estate in Bucklebury. There have been lots of rumours circulating about the wedding, all focused on whether certain other famous attendees will be upstaging the bride.
It is rumoured that sister Kate will not be Pippa's MOH or even in the wedding party for this very reason. Somewhat understandable as she is one of the most famous and photographed woman in the world (but let's remember Pippa famously upstaged Kate on her wedding day).
The latest stage-stealer making headlines is Meghan Markle. It's been reported that Pips is enforcing a 'no ring, no bring' policy at her wedding. This means only guests that are engaged or married can bring their partner. Is it just us, or is Pippa sounding like a huge bridezilla?!
Couples typically limit 'plus ones' to keep budgets and guest lists in check, but this is not usually an option for guests that have been in long-term partnerships, regardless of whether they are wearing rings or not. In most cases this type of policy would only apply to single guests or those who are in very new relationships.
What ever the reason you may chose for enforcing a no 'plus one' rule with some of your party people, we must warn you to prepare yourself for back talk. Though this idea may sound good in theory, it rarely goes over well.


The Beths have announced a North American summer tour in support of their debut album Future Me Hates Me. The New Zealand indie-pop band will play 22 dates, launching in late June in Wisconsin and wrapping up in Oregon in early August.

Yes it is, hey Busta didn't come here did he?
No, hey look, you got fifteen cent?
Yeah, we gonna have enough time to go to the store?
You should just, how much you got there?
I only got 75, I'm sure I got a dollar know what I mean..


When I first spotted this recipe, I immediately thought it was great dinner for those days you're facing time constraints - you know; busy moms, late nights at the office, or a kid's sporting event night. At those moments, I never want to eat something simply because I am hungry, nor have to fight the urge to do so when it is getting late. So when I know I will be facing a time crunch for dinner, I do my best to search for meals that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less, but still be clean and healthy to fit in with my lifestyle.
I love stuffed peppers, but I usually bake them after making all the filling which can take some time. So this recipe recipe makes for the perfect alternative!
Prepare seasoning: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
In a large skillet on medium, heat oil. Add onion, garlic and jalapeno cook for 2 minutes.
Add meat cook until no longer pink. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp seasoning mix.
Stir in tomatoes and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 1/4 cup of cilantro.
Meanwhile: Cut bell peppers in half. Remove seeds and stems.
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch peppers for 2-3 minutes or just till tender and drain.
Fill peppers with chicken mixture and serve with remaining cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
*You will notice in the pictures some black beans. I had extra in the refrigerator left over from a previous meal, and not wanting them to go to waste, I thought they would make the perfect addition to this stuffed pepper recipe!

The car park service at Stansted Pink Elephant was really good. It's so easy and convenient.
Excellent service and parking. Could do with a more frequent buses.
The car park was easy to find and organised well. The buses ran frequently and it doesn't take long to get to the airport from the car park.
Very easy access, perfekt timing with buses...just wonderful to find a good value service that works! Thanks you made our holiday start and finish greatly.
Good - easy to find car park; didn't wait very long for the bus; bus very crowded on return at midnight on a Sunday but driver's announcements about stops were very helpful and reduced any stress; price competitive too.
very good service, car was safe and easy to find as carparks were well marked, also transfer buses were regular and easy. only problem was the machine wouldnt accept my debit card when tyring to enter the carpark so i had to go in and sort it out with the gatekeeper men who was very helpful.
Good directions to parking area. Waited approximately 3 minutes for bus. Good journey into airport terminal. On return, waited approximately 2 minutes for bus, left immediately and good return journey. We were the second drop off point so very quick journey. Overall we were very satisfied and will use again.
Excellent, efficient, no problems and cheap.
the car park was fine, good location, bus was there within minutes both leaving and returning to the car park. My credit card wasn't accepted entering even though i had pre booked, so I had to get another ticket, but the exit staff sorted it out for me on my departure and I didn't have to pay any extra. All in all, a good car park for Stansted.
excellent service. I cannot fault it at present.
Excellent. Simple to find a space. No wait for transit bus to airport. 10 minute transit journey. 10 minute wait for bus on return. Price very competitive. Highly recommended.
I had problems both entering and leaving the Pink Elephant car park. On leaving I had to seek assistance and was told that my agent had not informed the Pink Elephant admin, of my booking.
Very good facility and bus service, however i had pre-paid for my ticket on the internet but when checking out the ticket was not recognised as being vaildated and paid for and told me i owed £32.40 for the stay. I then had to hold a queue of traffic up trying to sort this at the other booth which had a member of staff, who might i add was very helpful. The fact the ticket did not get recognised was a slight inconvenience.
Very easy. Very efficient, even though the ticket machine did not accept my card on entry. We would recommend Stansted as a departure airport especially for anybody like us from the East of England.
Easy to follow signs, secure and good bus service. Would definately use again. Good value for money compared to some although quite a way from airport.
Ludicrous overcrowding of coach on return journey.
The car park service was good, short wait for buses, no problems. Unfortunately the problem I had was that the entry machine would not recognise my credit card and so I had to obtain a ticket from the machine. When I returned and put my ticket into the machine it happly then accepted my card, the result being that I lost the benefits of advance booking and paid £4 extra.
GOOD ORGANISED, SERVICE AND PRICE.
I cancelled the booking, I did not take the trip, because of a death in the family. please check your records, and make sure I am credited with the amount paid to you on my credit card.
It was fine, very efficient, but confusing when entering, as we took a ticket, and found out when exiting, it was the wrong way to go about it, luckily we had our proof of on-line parking with us. But in our rush we forgot to pick up the instructions, as we knew where it was, so only took the top copy with us as proof of payment with the reference number on it. On the whole, excellent value for money, and recommended.
Fine experience. There was a bus at stop 8 by time we found a parking place, which was rather slow. Lot E was very full indeed, and we had to go to a quite back row (11). Driver helped with heavy luggage. Returning to STN, there was a bus ready, and he went quite soon to the parking lot after we and one other person got on. He also helped with the luggage. Pre-booking was easy. Airport parking is pricey, about twice what I pay per day in the U.S. for long-term, quite remote parking.
Excellent service and good price too!
Easy to find. Easy to enter and instructions clear Bus service to and from car park very good On leaving car park my credit card wouldn't operate the exit barrier. The person at the ticket barrier sorted it out and I was able to leave. Delayed no more than 2 minutes. My credit card has been debited by the correct amount. Having entered my credit card approx three times I was worried that the amount would have been debited more than once.
Very good, only draw back was the machine issuing the tickets did not recognise my card even though i pre booked, i therfore had to drive through the manned station upon exit and prove my pre purchase.
Easy to find, easy to access only minor grip is that at night time its difficult to see zone signs, how about some brighter signs?
Problem free. Only slight hesitation was on the return trip from Stansted where we had expected to see Pink Elephant listed on the bus stops (instead of Blue). Worth mentioning perhaps.
Absolutely brilliant - everything went extremely smoothly - cant fault the service at all. Thank you.


Since 2008, the American Institute of Architects Sierra Valley Chapter and the Modesto Art Museum have hosted as many as 5,000 people annually at the award winning Modesto Architecture Festival.
There is something inspirational and informative for everyone of every interest and age: tours, exhibits, international movies, workshops, speakers, installations, interventions, kid's activities, and special events with a variety of community partners. All official events and activities are admission free, partner events may have an admission.
The festival mission is to celebrate architecture and architectural design as both an art and a science, and to heighten public awareness of architecture, landscape, and urban design, and the value of architects and designers in creating more livable and beautiful communities.
Nationally and internationally known architects of the 19th and early 20th century designed buildings, bridges, and landscapes for Modesto including Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, William Weeks, Bernard Joseph, John Leonard, John McLaren, and Howard Gilkey.
Modesto Modernism from Modesto Art Museum on Vimeo.
The city developed a national reputation for cutting edge design beginning in the 1930s when architects began experimenting with what we now call Central Valley Modernism. In the following decades, Gardner Daily, Christopher Alexander, Frank Lloyd Wright, William Wurster, Palmer and Krisel, SOM, Anshen and Allen, John Funk, Milton Pflueger, William Turnbull, and many more designed projects in the city. At the same time, some of the modernist landscape designers were active in Modesto including Lawrence Halprin, Thomas Church, and Robert Royston.
The architecture festival is your opportunity to enjoy the city's design heritage, contemporary world architecture and landscape, and the recent work of local members of the American Institute of Architects Sierra Valley Chapter.


"Papa Nurgle has smiled upon me," thought Spurot. "He granted me the buboes that wiped out Fluginheim. And he gave me the pestilence that destroyed Blinkenhelm. And who could forget the infections that doomed Honkenbraken? But those, those were just one horse villages. Now Papa Nurgle has given me the chance to invade the Empire and unleash his deadliest plagues there!"
Much like the Nurgle Warriors I recently posted, this Nurgle Sorcerer was designed for a 7th edition Warhammer chaos army. However, unlike the warriors, there was no meta considered when adding him to my army. I just think this model is great.
As far as painting him, he was painted really quickly because he's a pretty simple model. I don't recall the base mix of the black, but I do remember I highlighted it by mixing in Nurgling Green. The brown was scorched brown, highlighted up to Bestial Brown and then Mornfang Brown. The staff was P3 Bastion grey highlighted up with Bleached Bone. The flesh was Knarloc Green also highlighted by mixing in Nurgling Green. The maggots began with Nurgling Green, washed with a green and brown mix, and highlighted by mixing in Vallejo off white (I forget the exact name, doh!).
This was where the real fun began though. I used a greenstuff cable maker to make a giant maggot sliding out of the ground. Then I mixed Uhuh glue and Nurgle's Rot and quickly stretched it across the staff and the giant maggot and glopped on some more around the skulls on the staff. This was a hugely fun model to paint.


HARTSVILLE, SC (WMBF) – Heavy rain from Hurricane Florence flooded the Sonoco paper mill and complex in Hartsville forcing it to cease its operations at that facility.
The company's Hartsville paper complex has seven machines that push out 420,000 tons of paper a year.
On Tuesday, helicopters circled the Sonoco paper complex to evaluate the impacted areas due to rising levels of water from Prestwood Lake.
Brian Risinger with Sonoco said the property that sits right adjacent to Prestwood Lake started overflowing a few days ago into the property and all the way to the parking lot.
"Obviously it's been a direct impact on operations where if we're not running equipment, we're not producing and that's in essence what's happening so again, we've had to cease production and may cease production for time to come," Risnisger said.
For the past 36 hours, Risinger said Sonoco has been releasing excess water from its dam on Black Creek in Hartsville to control flooding in the area.
However, because of the rising water levels from the Black Creek and Duke Energy's Lake Robinson, Sonoco's dam has potential to overtop.
"If we can't release more than what is coming into the water basin than flooding will occur and that's what we're seeing now," Risinger said.
In addition to the complex flooding, this can cause major flooding downstream into Darlington County.
"What I'm concerned about is the height of the water as for the vents on the side of the house," Watson said.
Watson explained Monday the water in the lake was down about a foot, but in about an hour and a half it went over the edge of their property.
"It basically went by our property into the road and it searching for a storm drain into Black Creek," Watson said.
"I checked the levels several time during the night and this morning – it was worse than yesterday," Watson said.
So far, Watson said the water damages are small.
Watson grew up in Hartsville and has called Prestwood Drive his home for 15 years. He said he knew the impact of Hurricane Florence would be bad, but never imagine it would cause this much trouble.

One Thousand Museum: The Latest Architecture and News
Drone Footage Shows Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum Tower Nearing Completion
12:00 - 8 August, 2018
New drone footage and photographs have been released of the One Thousand Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, as work progresses in Miami, Florida. Having topped out in February 2018, the 62-story residential tower is due for completion later in the year.
The new imagery showcases the 700-foot-high (210-meter-high) tower's curved structural exoskeleton, comprising 5,000 pieces of glass-fiber-reinforced concrete. The photo gallery also offers some of the first images of the scheme's interior spaces, still under construction, showing the influence of the exoskeleton on the internal environment.

Watch the Construction of Zaha Hadid's 1000 Museum Tower in This Full PBS Documentary
12:00 - 15 February, 2018
As one of Zaha Hadid's final projects, One Thousand Museum Tower in Miami, approaches completion (having topped out just last month), a new documentary on its construction has been released by PBS.
The building was the subject of the season premier of "Impossible Builds," which profiles "the creation of some of the world's most ambitious, complex and technologically advanced construction projects."
Described by the show as "one of the most complex skyscrapers ever to make it off the drawing board," the 62-story tower features a unique glass fiber reinforced concrete exoskeleton – a system never before seen at this scale.
The show is now available to watch in its entirety online. Check it out below!

Zaha Hadid's Interiors for One Thousand Museum in Miami
17:45 - 13 May, 2016
One Thousand Museum, the Zaha Hadid-designed skyscraper in Downtown Miami, has unveiled new interior renderings, including communal spaces designed by the architect. The 62-story tower, which began construction in December of 2014, will contain only 83 residences, consisting of a two-story duplex penthouse, four townhouses, eight full-floor residences, and 70 half-floor units. Overlooking the Pérez Art Museum by Herzog & deMeuron, the soon-to-be-completed Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science by Grimshaw Architects, and the American Airlines Arena by HOK & Arquitectonica, One Thousand Museum tilts the scales in luxury residences from a market historically centered on Miami Beach to Miami's rapidly densifying Downtown.

Construction Begins on Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum in Miami
Following the ground breaking last December, construction has begun on Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum in Miami, with 9,500 cubic yards of concrete already poured. Designed in association with the local architect of record, O'Donnell Dannwolf Partners Architects, the residential skyscraper will rise 62 stories, comprising half- and full-floor residences, duplex townhomes, and a single duplex penthouse, overlooking Museum Park and Biscayne Bay at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard. As a burgeoning area, Museum Park—once called Bicentennial Park—is home to the Peréz Art Museum Miami and will soon be home to the Frost Museum of Science.

Bringing new music to uncommon places. Experience brand new music in a back room setting, headlined by BMOP musicians. Witness the evolution of Lisa Bielawa's Synopses project - music composed in residence for solo artists. Enjoy Club Café's full menu and bar throughout the night.
On Tuesday night, I attended two richly satisfying concerts without stepping foot in a concert hall. The first was a new music program presented by the Boston Modern Orchestra Project at the Moonshine Room of the popular Club Cafe in the South End; the second was a performance by the up-and-coming Parker String Quartet in the Lizard Lounge, a low-slung basement club space in Cambridge. Next month, the Firebird Ensemble will perform in a local barbecue joint.

Q: Assert two different types of enumerations are equivalent I have an NUnit unit test which I have two collections of different types which I want to assert are equivalent.
class A { public int x; }
class B { public string y; }

[Test]
public void MyUnitTest()
{
    var a = GetABunchOfAs(); // returns IEnumerable
    var b = GetABunchOfBs(); // returns IEnumerable

    Assert.IsPrettySimilar(a, b, (argA, argB) => argA.ToString() == argB);
}

where Assert.IsPrettySimilar is defined like such
public static void IsPrettySimilar<T1, T2>(
    IEnumerable<T1> left,
    IEnumerable<T2> right,
    Func<T1, T2, bool> predicate)
{
    using (var leftEnumerator = left.GetEnumerator())
    using (var rightEnumerator = right.GetEnumerator())
    {
        while (true)
        {
            var leftMoved = leftEnumerator.MoveNext();

            if (leftMoved != rightEnumerator.MoveNext())
            {
                Assert.Fail("Enumerators not of equal size");
            }

            if (!leftMoved)
            {
                break;
            }

            var isMatch = predicate(leftEnumerator.Current,
                                rightEnumerator.Current);

            Assert.IsTrue(isMatch);
        }
    }
}

My question is, is there a more idiomatic way of doing the above with the existing methods in NUnit?  I already looked at CollectionAssert and there's nothing matching what I want to do.
My description of "equivalent" in this case is:
1) Collections must be of same size
2) Collections must be in same logical order
3) Some predicate must be used to determine equivalence between matching items.

A: I know you looked into CollectionAssert, however, I have found a strategy like this very useful in my own tests.
Overriding ToString and Equals on the objects makes this test pass.
[TestFixture]
public class Class1
{

    [Test]
    public void MyUnitTest()
    {
        var a = GetABunchOfAs(); // returns IEnumerable
        var b = GetABunchOfBs(); // returns IEnumerable

        CollectionAssert.AreEqual(a, b.OrderBy(x => x.y));

    }

    public List GetABunchOfAs()
    {
        return new List
        {
            new A() {x = 1},
            new A() {x = 2},
            new A() {x = 3},
            new A() {x = 4}
        };
    }

    public List GetABunchOfBs()
    {
        return new List
        {
            new B() {y = "4"},
            new B() {y = "1"},
            new B() {y = "2"},
            new B() {y = "3"},

        };
    }
}

public class A
{
    public int x;
    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return obj.ToString().Equals(x.ToString());
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return x.ToString();
    }
}

public class B
{
    public string y;

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return y;
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return obj.ToString().Equals(y);
    }

}

I deliberately left GetABunchOfBs out of order, however the test still passes.

A: Let's think what you are trying to test. You are not trying to test that objects from first sequence are same as objects from second sequence. They can be very different. So, word similar is very vague here. What you really trying to test here, is that some projection of first sequence is equal to other projection of second sequence. And NUnit already have such functionality:
 CollectionAssert.AreEqual(bunchOfAs.Select(a => a.ToString()),
                           bunchOfBs.Select(b => b));

Thus you are projecting both sequences to get particular data, then you can give nice names for these two projections, which will make your test readable to others. You have some hidden business logic here, which does not have explanation in code - you don't explain why you making such projections. So, nice names of projection results will explain your intent. E.g:
 var expectedNames = employees.Select(u => u.Login);
 var actualNames = customers.Select(c => c.Name);
 CollectionAssert.AreEqual(expectedNames, actualNames);

That is much cleaner for me than
 Assert.IsPrettySimilar(employees, customers, (e, c) => u.Login == c.Name);

A: It looks like Sergey's answer is the one I'm looking for (which was to see whether NUnit already has a facility to do what I want).  However, this is the solution I ended up with, which is closer to the implementation I want.
public static class EnumerableAssert
{
    public static void AreEquivilent<TExpected, TActual>(IEnumerable<TExpected> expected, IEnumerable<TActual> actual, Func<TExpected, TActual, bool> predicate)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(expected, actual))
        {
            return;
        }

        using (var expectedEnumerator = expected.GetEnumerator())
        using (var actualEnumerator = actual.GetEnumerator())
        {
            while (true)
            {
                var expectedMoved = expectedEnumerator.MoveNext();

                if (expectedMoved != actualEnumerator.MoveNext())
                {
                    Assert.Fail("Expected and Actual collections are of different size");
                }

                if (!expectedMoved)
                {
                    return;
                }

                Assert.IsTrue(predicate(expectedEnumerator.Current, actualEnumerator.Current));
            }
        }
    }
}

New Delhi, Apr 11 (UNI) Oil and gas explorations through the country's latest efforts of auctioning blocks will rake in more than seven billion dollars as investments for India.
"We hope that all 55 blocks will be snapped up. We expect over 7 billion dollars investment within 24 months," Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Murli Deora said today.
Speaking to reporters here, the Minister said the total investment under the sixth round of New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP-VI) would be huge compared to 1.7 billion dollars investment under NELP-V.
"We expect a production of 20 million cubic metres of gas per day from next year from Coal Bed Methane blocks, which is 3.5 million tonnes of oil equivalent," Petroleum Secretary M S Srinivasan said.
The first round of NELP would commence production from 2007, he said. ''The reserves of 650 mmt of oil and oil equivalent gas have been established in last five years," he added.
"We have already sold data worth Rs 40 crore to oil companies worldwide. We will collect about Rs 100 crore by selling data only," the minister said.
The bids for the CBM round will be received by June 30 while those of NELP-VI by September 15, 2006.
Meanhile, oil companies from the US, the UK and Australia have exhibited interest in acquiring data pacakages of India's sedimentary basins for oil explorations, Mr Deora said.
''More than Rs 40 crore of data has already been sold to companies worldwide since the closure of previous round of New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP), which is far higher than the entire value of adat sold during the earlier round,'' he said.
There is heavy booking at some centres with no slot vacant until May 2006.
Mr Deora had recently concluded a ''successful'' visit to London, Houston and Washington to promote oil and gas blocks offered under the 6th round of NELP and third round of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) policy.
The Minister addressed oil and gas investors in these cities and met prominent members of the investor community in Europe and US.
He said oil and gas companies in the UK and the US have exhibited an unprecedented interest in the oil and gas offerings as was evident from the large attendance at all the roadshows.
The presence of the representatives of the companies was much higher than during the roadshows earlier held during the 5th round of NELP.
The Minister led the talks with Lord Browne, CEO, BP, Sir Robert Wilson, Cheif Executive of BG, Mr Rex Tillerson, EO, Exxon Mobil and Ms Linda Cook, Director Shell International. He also met officials of BHP, Conoco Philips, Anadarko, Maersk, repsol, Woodside and others.
The Australian leg of the promotional tour similarly witnessed an unprecedented response from oil and gas companies, especially for the CBM blocks, which is emerging as an important environment friendly source of energy in the country.

Well, I did it ! I manage the walk, even came across the finish line ahead of the majority – not that it was a race or anything, of course.
What a great day that was. Not only did we have a fantastic weekend of sunshine and perfect weather, but then the Walk to Empower fundraiser walk was amazing good fun. My Mother and Sister acted as cheerleaders while my Stepfather and I participated in the Walk. Got up at o-dark thirty in the morning to get into the city by 7:30 sign-ups, then wandered around the participating sponsor booths to pick up swag and eat apples and bananas and bagels (oh my). Then after some warm-up exercises in a group of wild women (and some supportive dudes), a few moving motivational talks and a high-five to Ronald McDonald, we were off!
Like a herd of pink turtles for a few minutes as the crowd tried to manuever through some unfortunate tourists, but then we were off. Jerry and I were up front and only got seperated from the leaders when we stopped for a red light.
Somewhere around the half way mark we got passed by a few, but I also noticed some of the leaders popping in to Starbucks and Subways to use the potty, but we soldiered on! Grabbed some water and bananas at the halfway and kept marching. Managed the hills of my beloved Seattle streets, waved at some cruise ship passengers, confused a lot of tourists, the sweated back up the hills to the finish.
After that it was pass-out on the grass time, while the DJ kept spinnin' tunes, and applauding all the finishers coming in after me. That's when I realized I'd managed to stay out in front the whole time after all.
Then it was closing ceremonies with a local news personality, Dennise Whitaker of KOMO 4 News, and a pledge to do this again next year ! Honestly, I'm hooked. I'm signing up to do the Relay for Life 24-hour walkathon in June, and then it's on to bigger and better walkies!
Now, if you'll excuse me, there's an Aleve calling my name !


My post-doctoral research examines the history of human wildlife conflict through visual records of carnivores, in-particular big cats, from different cultures and periods. The intention is to better understand how cultural species evolve in accord with their real-life counterparts, how the desire to assign symbolism to animals connects human cultures across time, and the different ways in which humans and wildlife have co-existed. Areas of particular interest are the cultural execution of felids in relation to their historic range and distribution in Mughal India, and the early trade in exotic wildlife in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain.
My doctoral research formed part of 'Court, Country, City: British Art, 1660-1735', a major collaborative research project between the University of York and Tate Britain. Focusing on the little studied written accounts of English art that were produced in these years, my thesis investigated the contexts of their production, their qualities as texts, and their authority as interventions in a rapidly transforming cultural scene. As part of the project I also collaborated on an exhibition which took its title – Dead Standing Things: still life 1660-1740 – from my research on the literature of the period, and ran from 31 May–30 September 2012 at Tate Britain. I also contributed towards an extensive new online database of primary sources – The Art World in Britain 1660–1735 – that provides a research tool for the study of the arts in late 17th and early 18th century Britain.

If you are a big fan of the 1991 classic, we can recommend you several movies like Silence of the Lambs to check! The movies are available to stream here for free.
Deeply shaken after being assaulted by a deranged man (Harry Connick Jr.), Dr. Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver) must face her fears if she is to help solve a series of murders. Helen is a psychologist who has studied serial killers, but this case, in which the crimes seem modeled on the work of infamous deviants, is grimmer than most. With the help of two San Francisco police officers (Holly Hunter, Dermot Mulroney), Helen tries to come between the murderer and his next victim.
Policewoman Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) is in hot pursuit of a serial murderer whose calling card is a small shard of bone extracted from each of his victims. Unable to decipher the cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, Amelia calls upon quadriplegic forensic criminology expert Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) to help. With Amelia acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together disparate clues, hoping they will learn who the next victim is.
Set in present day Texas, "Frailty" centers on the FBI's search for a serial killer who calls himself "God's Hands." McConaughey plays Fenton Meeks, a young man who approaches the lead investigator, one night, claiming he knows the identity of the killer. The FBI agent is curious, but unimpressed until Fenton reveals that the killer is his younger brother Adam. This is a film about faith, family and the end of innocence.
FBI agent Jake Harris (Val Kilmer) escorts a group of cadets to a remote island for simulation training. The cadets, under the leadership of J.D. (Christian Slater), will try to catch an imaginary serial killer within the island's elaborate facility. The FBI, however, is suspicious of Harris' methods and dispatch Gabe Jensen (LL Cool J) to act as an outside observer. What he finds is a simulation exercise that becomes dangerously real and training that becomes a fight for survival.


For a while I kept my releases documented on my site instead of in the document itself. I've sense put most of them back in the document, so these are redundant. But these go back further in time, though the oldest are pretty sketchy.
(08/25/2005) v2.2 - Added 8 new entries. Fixed a some bad links and was forced to move a few entries into the MIA (missing) section. I also removed one duplicate entry.
(08/07/2004) v2.1 - 11 new entries. See what's new section in howto for listing.
(02/18/2004) v2.0 - Ran linkchecker and for any bad links I either found a new link or removed the item. See the new section MIA for a list of the removed entries (please let me know if you know of a new home for them). I've renewed the What's New section to the HOWTO including a list of entries added for that release. So I'm dicontinuing the generated page. It was getting to be a pain anyways.
(02/13/2003) - One new entry (Bond) and fixing a bad link in the intro section.
(01/19/2003) - Cleaned up bad links, finding new ones where possible and eliminating those that seem to have disappeared. Quite a few new entries as well.
(02/11/2002) - Another 9 new entries, a bunch of links fixed, and a few items removed that have vanished from the net.
(06/16/2001) - 9 new entries, a couple link fixes and one duplicate item removed.
(12/08/2000) - 26 new entries plus a couple link fixes.
(06/23/2000) - 10 new updates and fixed some lisp-related links.
(04/02/2000) - Putting a dent in the backlog, I added 30+ new entries today and submitted it to the LDP.
(__/__/____) - Added a few new entries and uploaded it to the LDP. See the new additions section above for them.
(__/__/____) - I've reformated the Howto a bit. I've switched around the sections and removed the "What's New" and the "Resource links" sections from the official version. Their content is still available here for now (links below).
(__/__/____) - Ok, I've updated the current contents. It was a lot worse than I thought, with many out of date links. There are still a couple I'm not sure about, but they're marked with (???).
(1.21.98) - I modified the web pages again. Reducing the graphics, making the non-framed version a more obvious option (I hope) and changing all the links so that they get rid of the frames. I also added a couple more entries and cleaned the older links out of 'What's New'.
(1.11.98) - Thanks to Dirk Heise for his submission of Gas. I've also removed a couple more of the non-AI oriented scheme implementations. I just felt having 10 scheme implementations listed was a bit silly, especially since some of them weren't really meant for AI stuff. If you want a listing of more scheme's look here.
(12.29.97) - Added a couple more entries and web links, including a patched lil-gp.
(10.1.97) - Ok. I struck the motherload of Baysean Networks, see the Connectionism section for more. Plus I cleaned off the 'New' flags from anything before August.
(8.4.97) - Found a few bad links and fixed them. Added a new link the "Scientific Applications for Linux" AI page (very nice). Added some more stuff (not listed as I will have a new "what's new" section when I get the reformat done and will list them there). This will be my lase update until I get the new format done. I've been a bit busy and have not gotten it done, but I'm determined to finish it soon.
(5.18.97) - I've done a bit of cleaning in the links section. I've also added a genetic programming library (GP kernel), the ADATE system, the Sugal (GA) system, Geco (GA), Grammer Work Bench (NLP), Screamer (lisp library), SNePS, Ara, JATlite, Fuf and SURGE, and finally TIN (alife). I've also begun a reorganization of this page. This will end up with two versions of this page. One, like this one, containing the whole howto, the second will be broken up into parts to allow for troublesome connections.
(5.8.97) - I've updated some dead or outdated links. I've collected a ton of material to add over the last couple months, but have been incredibly busy. I'm going to try to find the time to update this page soon.
(3.4.97) - I removed Scsh and put it on my linux page. The more I thought about it, the less Scsh seemed an AI application. I also added Soar, a general coginitive architecture development system. It looks pretty cool and should work on Linux (any info to the contrary would be appreciated, I don't have time right now t o mess with it). Last but not least, I've added a couple more Scheme implementations to the list (can you tell I really like scheme).
(2.16.97) - A new robot simulator, another neural net simulator, a cellular automata simulation system, and a new (optimizable) version of prolog.
(1.24.97) - A couple of more agent kits. Including another Perl module and the Tocoma project. CMU lisp, a new neural net simulator, a parallel genetic algorithm library, and a few links. Plus I've redone the links to show their destinations (for the benefit of those seeing this as a plain text document).
(11.14.96) - I've added a new neural net simulator and a new Perl agent system.
(__/__/____) - I got some good tips on some new stuff. Three interesting new programming languages, plus a few applications. Thanks to Holger Schauer for the tips.

Nowadays hardwood flooring are in so much demand, and so many people are buying them in huge numbers. The good thing about installing hardwood on your floors is that they are usually easy to clean and to care for. The wood floorings are known to last for years without getting damaged as long as you take good care of them. Cleaning the flooring hardwood, all it needs from you is to mob using a damp clothes or you can vacuum and even after years it will still retain its color. If you are thinking of purchasing the flooring hardwood all is needed from you is ensuring that you find a retailer that sells them. Note that in the industry there are so many companies that sell hardwood floorings, therefore, ensure that you take your time in finding a good company that is known for selling hardwood floorings that are not of good quality. Ensure that you take your time then do a thorough research on the internet so that you can find a popular retailer who many people have good things to say about their hardwood.
When choosing a retailer it is important for you to ensure that you choose a retailer that has been in the wood business for a while. There are usually so many retailers in the industry, and so many of them are shutting down because of the high competition but if you realize that a company has been there for years that means that people trust their products. It is important for you to have an idea all the praises that different retailers or selling define hardwood as this information will be quite helpful in you making the final decision of who to buy from. You will realize that different retailers how different prizes, therefore, it is up to you to choose a company that you will not end up going broke if you buy the flooring hardwood. It is usually not wise for you to choose a retailer whose charges are too expensive where else there are so many companies that are selling the flooring hardwood at a good price. People are always encouraged to ensure that they have a budget because it tends to help someone in preparing themselves financially and knowing which wood flooring retailer they can be able to afford without going broke. Choosing the right retailer is usually not that easy, but the above points will definitely help you out in finding the perfect retailer.

Q: Christoffel symbols for the Poincaré ball model The metric tensor $g_{ij}$ of the Poincaré ball model is
$$ g_{ij} = \frac{\delta_{ij}}{(1 - x_k x^k)^2} $$
where $\delta_{ij}$ is the Kronecker delta and $x^k$ are the ambient Cartesian coordinates.
Hence the partial derivative of the metric tensor with respect to a coordinate $x^l$ is
$$ \partial_l g_{ij} = \partial_l \frac{\delta_{ij}}{(1 - x_k x^k)^2} = \delta_{ij} \partial_l (1 - x_k x^k)^{-2} = -2 \delta_{ij} (1 - x_k x^k)^{-3} \partial_l (1 - x_k x^k) = 2 \delta_{ij} (1 - x_k x^k)^{-3} (x_k \partial_l x^k + x^k \partial_l x_k) = 2 \delta_{ij} (1 - x_k x^k)^{-3} (x_k \delta_l^k + x^k \delta_{lk}) $$
In summary
$$ \partial_l g_{ij} = 2 \delta_{ij} (1 - x_k x^k)^{-3} (x_k \delta_l^k + x^k \delta_{lk}) = 4 \delta_{ij} (1 - x_k x^k)^{-3} x_l $$
The Christoffel symbols are defined in terms of the partial derivatives of the metric tensor as
$$ \Gamma^i_{jk} = \frac{1}{2} g^{il} (\partial_j g_{lk} + \partial_k g_{lj} - \partial_l g_{jk}) $$
Hence we substitute our expression for $ \partial_l g_{ij} $ with the right indices.
Is this correct? I have not been able to find an online source to verify that these are the correct Christoffel symbols for the Poincaré ball model.

A: For future reference: check pages 160 and 161 of (the first edition?) do Carmo's Riemannian Geometry book. For $$g_{ij} = \frac{\delta_{ij}}{F^2}$$he proves that $$\Gamma_{ij}^k = -\delta_{jk}f_i-\delta_{ki}f_j+\delta_{ij}f_k,$$where $\log F = f$ and $f_i = \partial f/\partial x_i$. In this case, we have $F(x) = 1-\|x\|^2$, so that $$f(x) = \log F(x) = \log (1-\|x\|^2)\implies \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}(x) = \frac{-2x_i}{1-\|x\|^2}.$$Putting everything together, one obtains $$\Gamma_{ij}^k = \frac{2(\delta_{jk}x_i + \delta_{ki}x_j-\delta_{ij}x_k)}{1-\|x\|^2}.$$


Mcintosh, Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Red delicious, sour green, and honeycrisp. If you haven't figured it out yet, we're referring to one of the best tasting fruits out there, the apple! Specifically I'm going to be answering the question that this site revolves around, Can dogs eat apples?
The answer is most certainly, YES! Dogs can eat apples! The one thing you need to worry about while you're feeding your dog apples is that you should never let your dog eat the apples seeds. They can be very toxic to your dog. What I would recommend if you want to avoid the hassle of picking apple seeds out is to buy apples that are already cut into slices.
You can feed your dog apple chunks or apples cut into slices. The skin is also fine for dogs and puppies so don't worry too much. Remember, apples are high in sugar so it is best to not make apples an everyday part of your dog's diet as it can lead to weight gain and unhealthy habits. They are a great treat for your dog especially when you are rewarding them for good behavior.
The skin may be a controversial topic. Some people swear that dogs should not eat the skin of an apple however upon doing my own research I have not found a single person who says the skin is actually that bad. I've read countless times that it is perfectly fine to give the apple with skin to your dog as long as the seeds aren't in there. When I give my own dog apple slices as a treat, I leave the skin on and she seems to love it!
So let's see if you've been paying attention. Can dogs eat apples? If you've answered yes, then congrats! You have been paying attention and you should know all the do's and don'ts when feeding apples to your beloved doggie! In case you do have any further questions or comments, feel free to ask them below or you can personally send me an email via our contact page. Have an awesome day ahead!

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 29/10/2014: Foo Fighters, Les Sins, The Chuckle Brothers and more...
What a week for music! Taylor Swift's been shaking up the album charts with the first platinum record of the year. Young Fathers have surprised everyone with a Mercury Prize win. Daniel Radcliffe has been dropping bars on The Tonight Show. Plus, RTJ2 - my most anticipated album of the year - has dropped (a review will be coming later, don't you worry).
There's been barely enough time to listen to new singles. Fortunately, I haven't had to do much digging around. The tracks have been coming to me and here they are - the best and the worst.
'The Feast and the Famine' - Foo Fighters
First to make it into this week's 'the best' category (yes, pun intended), is this alliterative entry from everyone's favourite rock band. I wasn't too convinced by the group's last single, 'Something from Nothing', but this new track is classic Foos. The guitars are sounding fast and arena-sized and Grohl is on the money yet again with a killer chorus.
'Talk About' - Les Sins
This deep house tune from Les Sins (alter ego of US chillwave artist Toro y Moi) is one of the wooziest tracks I've heard in months. I feel positively drunk listening to it, but then again maybe that's just the absinthe I've been glugging away at. (IT HELPED HEMINGWAY TO WRITE, SO WHY NOT ME TOO?)
'Trigger' - Sirma
Istanbul-born, New-York-based singer, Sirma, has been receiving the title 'Turkish Bjork' from many critics and fans. Her music's definitely got that slight avant-garde edge to it as demonstrated in this single. The faintly creepy guitar in the verse is what drew me in. Halloween is nigh. Creepy songs ought to be popping up everywhere.
'To me, To you (bruv)' - Tinchy Stryder ft. The Chuckle Brothers
I keep rewatching this video just to check I didn't dream it up. The Chuckle Brothers, for those of you too young or too old to remember, had a kids TV show in the 90s. Now they're making grime music with Tinchy Stryder. I lost it at the end when the pair started busting moves in the street. Paul, Barry and Tinchy are all great sports.
'I Won't Let you Down' - OK Go
There's nothing like a spot of feelgood indie funk to cheer up these grey autumn days. I strongly advise checking out the music video, as it will blow your mind. Apparently, it took over 50 takes.
'Drown' - Bring Me The Horizon
Stop with this whiny emo bullshit, reclaim your testicles and start making metal again. The noughties are over.
Review of '1989' by Taylor Swift
Review of 'Hell Can Wait' by Vince Staples
Review of 'Bestial Burden' by Pharmakon

Kdrama actor Ji Chang-wook was spotted at the Alfred Dunhill UK catwalk for the London Collections Men Spring/Summer 2016 preview event, held at the Phillips Gallery in Berkeley Square on Sunday 14 June 18:00.
He was also seen entering the GQ Magazine and Alfred Dunhill closing party at Bourdon House.
As an endorser of the Dunhill brand, he was wearing an ensemble previously seen at the Autumn/Winter 2015 show, and was seen posing with Alfred Dunhill's global CEO Fabrizio Cardinali.
Ji rose to fame thanks to his lead role as Seo Jung-hoo in Healer (KBS2). He was however already quite known for his roles in Empress Ki (MBC, 2013-2014) and Warrior Baek Dong Soo (SBS, 2011).
It is quite a ucky coincidence that he came to London as we are screening Healer at our 6th London Korean Drama Screening on Thursday 6 August. A good way to remind you that our next LKDS (Thursday 2 July) will be followed by a panel talk with Korean and British TV professionals. Do not forget to RSVP by contacting the KCCUK.

Beijing confirms plan for 2 N-reactors
posted by Ahmed Iqbalabadi | September 22, 2010 | In Original Articles
As a follow up to the story posted yesterday, titled "China plans 1-gigawatt N-power plant in Pakistan", please find below a confirmatory report that there are plans to build two more nuclear reactors at Chashma Nuclear Power Plant. Off course, this is not as important a news for Pakistan media, which is fixated with NRO, wrapping up of the entire system and security to Khwaja Sharif.
Chashma Nuclear Power Plant
Source: Dawn, September 22, 2010
BEIJING, Sept 21: China on Tuesday gave its firmest government confirmation yet of plans to build two new nuclear reactors for Pakistan, but a foreign ministry spokeswoman said she did not know about talks over a bigger reactor deal.
The spokeswoman, Jiang Yu, said China planned to help Pakistan expand its Chashma nuclear energy complex in Punjab by building two reactors in addition to one already operating and another nearing completion. Her comments also suggested Beijing could see no need to seek approval for the two new Chashma reactors from the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), an international council of governments, some of whose members have voiced qualms about the deal.
"This project is based on an agreement signed between the two countries in 2003 about cooperation in the nuclear power field," Ms Jiang told a regular news conference, citing plans to build the No 3 and No 4 reactors of about 300 megawatts each at Chashma.
"China has already notified the International Atomic Energy Agency about the relevant details, and invited the IAEA to exercise safeguards and oversight of this project," said Ms Jiang.
Up to now, Chinese government officials have been tightlipped in public about the planned new units at Chashma, although the Chinese companies picked to build them have announced contract signings.
The spokesman was also asked about the China National Nuclear Corporation's statement on Monday that it was in talks to build a 1-gigawatt nuclear reactor for Pakistan, in addition to the four smaller Chashma units built, being finished or planned.
But she had less to say on the issue. "We don't understand this matter. You can make further inquiries with the company," Ms Jiang said. Pakistan also implicitly confirmed it was holding talks with China to build a new nuclear power plant.
"We have an ongoing civil nuclear cooperation agreement with China which is according to our respective international obligations for peaceful purposes under the IAEA safeguards," Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said.— Agencies

STOCKHOLM, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Sweden's SKF, the world's largest maker of industrial bearings, reported quarterly operating earnings in line with market expectations on Thursday and forecast slightly higher year-on-year demand in the final months of 2018, sending its shares higher.
The rival of Germany's Schaeffler said its outlook for the fourth quarter included higher demand seen in its industrial business and slightly lower demand in its smaller automotive business.
Its third-quarter operating profit rose to 2.60 billion Swedish crowns ($281.2 million) from a year-ago 1.97 billion, in line with a mean forecast of 2.61 billion in a poll of analysts.
SKF shares were up 4.4 percent by 1109 GMT.

RUGBY PREVIEWS: Ivybridge motivated for first trip out of Devon
Posted on November 6, 2015 by Plymouth Sports Gazette Leave a comment
IVYBRIDGE head out of Devon for the first time this season eager to bounce back from their heavy defeat at the hands of Cleve in their last outing.
The Cross-in-Hand side, who sit fourth in National Three South West, travel to 12th-placed Dings Crusaders on Saturday.
An understrength Ivybridge lost 52-21 at home to Cleve two weeks ago. That was only their second defeat since their promotion to level five and their first at home.
"I think the club are very eager to bounce back," said player-coach Lewis Paterson.
"We are a team that have shown when everyone is working on the same wavelength we have been able to break big teams.
"Hopefully, we can do that on Saturday. We've got to go with the same game-plan and just make sure we are ready for a tough battle."
Ivybridge were without 12 regular first-teamers for their last match against Cleve but, after a weekend off, they will be back to nearly full strength this weekend, with the return of the likes of Paterson, Jordan Anderton, Charlie Briant, Dom Loomes and Alex Hall.
"The people who have been in every week like myself, Jordan Anderton, Charlie Briant, were unavailable against Cleve and they are the ones who know our systems," said Paterson. "It was unfortunate to miss people who know how we play.
"The players who stepped up are not much different in ability or size and they played with a lot of passion and they have got what it takes to play at this level, but they just need to buy into how we play.
"Some of those players will add so much to our squad, but they just need to know what is going on so they don't miss tackles, which resulted in such a big score.
"We have got depth but we just need to get the regularity of players coming to training so they understand how we play.
"As a club in general everyone felt that defeat. We have built up a real club ethos so even if there is only 18 playing on a Saturday the result does affect the 25-30 that we have in the squad."
Ivybridge may have been promoted to National League Three but so far they have not played a game outside their own county in the opening two months of the season, with all their away matches coming against Devon rivals.
"It is our first trip out of Devon, but Dings isn't too far away, which is good," said Paterson.
"Dings were a National Two team and I have played there before. It is a bit of a tough old ground to visit, but we are quite good when we travel and we are looking forward to this weekend."
WESTERN COUNTIES WEST & CORNWALL/DEVON LEAGUES
IN Western Counties West, Saltash will be hoping to continue their recent good form when they travel to Sidmouth.
The Ashes have been slowly moving up the table following their promotion. They have won their last three matches, which has lifted them up to fourth in the standings.
They will face a tough test this weekend against Sidmouth, who sit just one place behind them in fifth. Both teams have won four of their opening six matches.
Saltash team: Venables, Morton, Cload, Crofts, Crawford, Reburn, D Mulberry, Nance, Rayner, Coutts, Rixson, Scott, Wells, Eatwell. Reps: R Eatwell, Carroll, M Jones.
In the same division, Devonport Services will be hoping to end a four-match league and cup losing streak when they travel to struggling Crediton.
Devonport Services beating Saltash, which was their last win (picture by Mark Andrews)
Services won their opening three matches with maximum points but they have not won now since September 19.
However, they will be looking to put that record straight against a Crediton side who have won just once since their promotion from the Cornwall/Devon League. The east Devon outfit sit in 13th spot, with Services in sixth.
In the Cornwall/Devon League, Plymouth Argaum will also be hoping to return to winning ways when they entertain fellow high-flyers Bude at Bickleigh Down.
Argaum suffered their first home defeat in their last outing two weeks ago when they were beaten 10-8 by Pirates Amateurs.
Director of rugby Dave Sansom had said before the Pirates match that the next three matches would probably decide if they are likely to be challengers or just making up the numbers.
Bude will certainly test Argaum's credentials. They have only lost once so far this term – away at Tavistock – and have twice scored 70 points or more in their opening six games.
The north Cornwall side, who sit second, are the league's top scorers but fourth-placed Argaum have the division's meanest defence, so it should be an interesting clash.
"We know it's going to be a hard game," said Argaum's director of rugby Dave Sansom. "Bude are a side that go up and down between Western Counties West and Cornwall/Devon. They are certainly a team that know what they are doing."
Although Argaum have lost two matches they have been by one point and two points and on both occasions Sansom felt his team should have won.
"In the two games we've lost we battered the opposition but lost," he said. "But we've got to learn to see games out."
In the same division, Plymstock Albion Oaks will be looking to continue their rise up the table when they travel to bottom side Honiton.
Oaks, promoted alongside Argaum, have won their last three matches and now sit in seventh spot.
Tenth-placed Tavistock will also be looking to move up the league when they travel to 12th-placed Bodmin.
DEVON ONE AND TWO
THE big game in Devon One is at Flowerpot Fields where leaders Wessex host fellow title-hopefuls Tamar Saracens.
Wessex have enjoyed an unbeaten start so far this term, with three wins out of three to sit second, but Tamar Saracens have proved on their day to be a match for anyone at their level. Their only defeat this season came on the opening day when they narrowly lost 8-5 at North Tawton.
However, they did draw on their last outing with Totnes, so fourth-placed Saracens will be hoping for four points this weekend, which could take the to the top of the league.
Elsewhere in Devon One, winless St Columba & Torpoint face a tough test when they travel to South Molton, while OPMs are without a fixture.
In Devon Two, sixth-placed DHSOB are keen to make it two wins a row when they travel to seventh-placed Salcombe.
The Old Boys, who this term have been boosted by the signing of a number of the Plymouth Fiji rugby team, beat city rivals Plympton Victoria 35-3 two weeks ago.
Director of rugby Mike Freeman, though, knows there will be little chance of surprising Salcombe this weekend.
"We took on a friendly match – a club XV – against them about a month ago," said Freeman. "It was a positive game for us but the downside is that they will be aware of what we have got. They will know the challenge they are up against.
"Salcombe have been struggling a bit this year and hopefully we can get the win. We would like to progress up the table with a win."
DHSOB's second team, known as the Wizards, are also in action when they travel to Totnes IIs in the Devon Participation Merit Table.
Elsewhere in Devon Two, promotion-hopefuls Old Techs travel to fifth-placed Torrington, while bottom club Plympton Victoria face a tough challenge at home to unbeaten Ilfracombe.
