Sad remains of Iceland's first dead glacier seen in satellite images

Oddur Sigurðsson, a geologist in the Icelandic Meteorological Office, declared the largely vanished Okjökull glacier dead in 2014.
Five years later, on August 18, Sigurðsson and others will hike to the summit of the cone-shaped volcano where the glacier once thrived and leave a metal memorial in its place. Okjökull is recognized as the first Icelandic glacier lost to climate change. But for those of us who can't make the hike, satellite image comparisons taken by the U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat satellites show Okjökull's dramatic recession between 1986 and 2019.
The glacier's disappearance, however, isn't unique. Glaciers are retreating all over Iceland (and, it should be noted, the world).
"The condition of the glaciers is getting poorer and poorer," Sigurðsson said.
He has now documented the disappearance of 56 of the 300 smaller glaciers in the northern part of Iceland. But Okjökull is by far the largest of these glaciers to vanish, he noted.
On August 18, 2019, scientists will be among those who gather for a memorial atop Ok volcano in west-central #Iceland. The deceased being remembered is Okjökull—a once-iconic #glacier that was declared dead in 2014. https://t.co/IbwDha54cB #NASA #Landsat pic.twitter.com/pSFD08UohO

Okjökull in August 2019.
Glaciers are in retreat in almost every portion of the world on every continent except Australia, which has no glaciers. As temperatures warm, notably at lower elevations where it's naturally warmer, the rivers of ice predictably recede and thin.
"We're not trying to figure out whether the glaciers will melt in the future," Alex Gardner, a NASA glaciologist, told Mashable in June. "We're just trying to find out how much and how fast."
Eighteen of the 19 warmest years on record have occurred since 2001. June 2019 was the warmest June in 139 years of record keeping. And this July was likely the warmest month ever recorded, according to European Commission data.
SEE ALSO: Where to see the dying glaciers
Icelandic geologists estimate that Okjökull occupied around 16 square kilometers (6 square miles) in 1890. By 1945 it dwindled to 7 square kilometers. "By 1973 it was 5 [km]," said Sigurðsson. "2000 was 3.4. 2012 was 0.7." (NASA refers to a 1901 geological map for different historical glacier estimates, but Sigurðsson noted that the map isn't reliable).
Two years later, he declared Okjökull dead.
The crater atop the volcano is still filled with snow this August, some of which has melted into a light blue pond. The glacier once existed north (or to the top) of the crater, which is visible as a solid white patch in 1986. Now, just fragments of ice and patches of snow remain scattered around the slope, said Sigurðsson.
"It's hard to imagine Iceland without glaciers."
Sigurðsson plans to hike up to the summit area on August 18, and expects that some 100 people will attend the glacier memorial.
There may be more eulogies to come.
If warming trends continue as they are — meaning carbon emissions continue unchecked — Iceland glaciers will likely decrease in number by 40 percent by the century's end, and "virtually disappear by 2200," according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
"It's hard to imagine Iceland without glaciers," said Sigurðsson. Still, he noted that at least many glaciers will be around, though retreating, throughout this century. But as Okjökull shows, they've already started dying.
Sigurðsson spends his days tracking active glaciers. But he's taking on a new job. "I am becoming a glacier historian," he said.

Back in April I sold a round throw pillow featuring my French Hen illustration. My very first round pillow was on it's way to someone who would hopefully enjoy it as much as I did creating the illustration. Then, I quickly forgot about it until this morning when I was flicking through product reviews on Zazzle.
The buyer was kind enough to leave a review for the pillow and here is what they had to say.
It's wonderful to hear that it's being enjoyed and appreciated!
If you fancy a French Hen check out the links below to see where they are available.

Allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy) use the very same custom antigen formulas as allergy shots, making them a perfect shot-free alternative. Allergy drops provide an ideal allergy treatment option for children and busy adults who need ongoing immunotherapy to manage their allergen triggers and, ultimately, reduce environmental allergy and pet allergy symptoms.
Using in-office allergy testing, Dr. Rotskoff will isolate your exact allergen triggers and custom blend your allergy drops formula. Each day at home, you simply place the sweet-tasting allergy drops under your tongue for pain-free, appointment-free allergy treatment.
Over time, you will gradually build tolerance to your allergens, though you will start seeing results in a matter of weeks. Allergy drop treatment usually lasts three to five years and most patients achieve nearly complete desensitization to their allergens.
Allergy drops use the same FDA-approved allergic extracts given in allergy shots (oral administration pending FDA approval).

EISBN: 9780813795409
ABSTRACT Forearc basins are first-order products of convergent-margin tectonics, and their sedimentary deposits offer unique perspectives on coeval evolution of adjacent arcs and subduction complexes. New detrital zircon U-Pb geochronologic data from 23 sandstones and 11 individual conglomerate clasts sampled from forearc basin strata of the Nacimiento block, an enigmatic stretch of the Cordilleran forearc exposed along the central California coast, place constraints on models for forearc deformation during evolution of the archetypical Cordilleran Mesozoic margin. Deposition and provenance of the Nacimiento forearc developed in three stages: (1) Late Jurassic–Valanginian deposition of lower Nacimiento forearc strata with zircon derived from the Jurassic–Early Cretaceous arc mixed with zircon recycled from Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary sources typical of the continental interior; (2) erosion or depositional hiatus from ca. 135 to 110 Ma; and (3) Albian–Santonian deposition of upper Nacimiento forearc strata with zircon derived primarily from the Late Cretaceous arc, accompanied by Middle Jurassic zircon during the late Albian–Cenomanian. These data are most consistent with sedimentary source terranes and a paleogeographic origin for the Nacimiento block south of the southern San Joaquin Basin in southern California or northernmost Mexico. This interpreted paleogeographic and depositional history of the Nacimiento block has several implications for the tectonic evolution of the southern California Mesozoic margin. First, the Nacimiento forearc depositional history places new timing constraints on the Early Cretaceous unconformity found in forearc basin strata from the San Joaquin Valley to Baja California. This timing constraint suggests a model in which forearc basin accommodation space was controlled by accretionary growth of the adjacent subduction complex, and where tectonic events in the forearc and the arc were linked through sediment supply rather than through orogenic-scale wedge dynamics. Second, a paleogeographic origin for the Nacimiento forearc south of the southern San Joaquin Valley places new constraints on end-member models for the kinematic evolution of the Sur-Nacimiento fault. Although this new paleogeographic reconstruction cannot distinguish between sinistral strike-slip and thrust models, it requires revision of existing sinistral-slip models for the Sur-Nacimiento fault, and it highlights unresolved problems with the thrust model.

Syracuse University's Parents Office will embark on a two year study of ways to support families of students from historically underrepresented groups and to enhance student success, satisfaction and retention, thanks to a $5,000 grant from the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Foundation.
NASPA awarded the grant in response to a proposal submitted by Colleen O'Connor Bench, director of the Parents Office, and Missy Mathis-Hanlon, assistant director of the Parents Office. By collaborating with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Office of Supportive Services and other Division of Student Affairs offices, the Parents Office aims to learn more about the families of certain populations on the Syracuse University campus. These include families of students of color, non-English speaking students or those who speak English as a second language, first-generation college students and students of parents with disabilities.
The qualitative project will begin in March 2003, with the goals of understanding the nature and quality of the interaction that families from underrepresented groups have with their students and with the Syracuse University community and learning how the Parents Office and other offices can enhance or change programs and services to impact student retention. The Parents Office and other partners plan to conduct family interviews and to observe programs that target diverse constituents to evaluate and enhance programming and the current infrastructure to help families support their students.


Do you plan your every step, knowing the results you want and what the destination looks and feels like? Do you work and work at something even if it doesn't feel quite right, or because you chose that path you feel you must persevere?
Or, instead, do you coast along and hope that something appealing will snag you, or that you'll an opportunity will drop at your feet?
Personally, neither sounds appealing, at least not all the time.
But there's another option — a hybrid of the two. It can take some of the heat off if you feel like you fall into either of those categories. Or especially if you bounce back and forth between the two.
In Steve Jobs' now famous Stanford speech, he talked about connecting the dots.
If that sounds a little woo-woo, remember we're talking about a great designer, marketer and businessperson. If it's good enough for Apple, it's good enough for your business or life.
Why is this a hybrid of the two extremes?
Because there's a dose of intention mixed with believing. Jobs obviously didn't succeed by this alone. He worked really hard. This hybrid approach frees you from worrying that you're spinning your wheels or taking the wrong path.
Worrying depletes valuable energy best spent on the dot itself, or the next dot and the one after that.
But it does require that you intentionally engage with people or in activities or business ideas that align with your interests and values. If you do this, you'll almost never go wrong.
You also have to apply some common sense if something requires a big investment where you could lose your shirt. But don't use investment (time or money) as an excuse until you know what loosing your shirt actually means to you.
Waiting for something to just happen or waiting till you're inspired means missing out on taking a not well-worn path that could lead to something great. There's an inherent aliveness in believing the dots will connect. It means that every person you speak to, every thing you read, every place you go, can suddenly take on new meaning. It doesn't mean you have to work any harder. It just means that you're consciously open to it possibly going somewhere.
And if it doesn't? You haven't wasted much time.
Pick any one thing you've done (big or small) and go over in your mind the seemingly trivial dots that led you there. Don't forget to notice the indirect paths, the random introductions. Maybe you'll recall almost not doing something that, had you not, wouldn't have led to meeting so and so.

Effects of estrogens only on the prostates of aging men
P. Van Kesteren*, W. Meinhardt, P. Van Der Valk, A. Geldof, J. Megens, L. Gooren
Amsterdam Neuroscience - Neuroinfection & -inflammation
Purpose: The effects of estrogen only on prostate tissue were studied in 9 aging male transsexuals who had undergone orchiectomy. Materials and Methods: Prostate volume was measured by ultrasound. Biopsies were stained for prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), prostate specific antigen (PSA), Ki-67 and sex steroid receptors. Results: Prostates were small, and biopsies showed PAP and PSA in most cases. No malignancy was found. Few androgen receptors were detectable but there were ample estrogen and progesterone receptors in stroma and epithelium. Conclusions: Prostates were small after long-term estrogens only. The sex steroid receptor content was considerably changed. PSA and PAP in the specimens suggested that their production does not depend on testicular androgens alone.

Doha 12 has broken out of the Internet and is now available in the real world.
Both Doha 12 and South are available on the Espresso bookmaking machine. These machines are essentially large, high-quality printers that can produce a trade paperback in a few minutes. You go to the store, order your book, and by the time you finish your coffee, your book is ready.
Most of the Espresso outlets are university bookstores, but Doha 12 and South are also listed at places like Powell's Books in Portland (my favorite bookstore), The Tattered Cover in Denver (one of my favorite bookstores), Politics and Prose in Washington, D.C., and Flintridge Bookstore in La Canada.
The library market is tough; many systems will only buy from Baker & Taylor, which tends to buy only from the Big 5 publishers. However, many libraries will buy titles if their patrons request them, so don't be shy: if you want to check out a paper copy, please let your local librarian know.

The children at IDEAS Academy are empowered by the education they receive and deserve to keep it so they can grow up with opportunities to realise their dreams like the rest of us. Education can resolve the social plight of millions of refugees worldwide as it allows them to integrate into new societies and helps them navigate the often unfamiliar terrains of countries where they reside. Learning centres like IDEAS Academy are working to protect an entire generation of refugees from being lost to senseless marginalisation and conflict. The horrors of war have done little to whittle down the astounding resilience and thirst for knowledge possessed by these children—the least we can do is use our privilege to lead them onto brighter futures. Whilst IDEAS Academy may be in danger of closing because of low funding, I am filled with the hope that collective action and humanity will rise to see the academy through this difficult time. Please exercise your capacity to rebuild a life with a small donation—livelihoods are depending on it.
Here at IDEAS Academy, refugees and stateless children are one step closer towards reaching their full potential. However, the academy relies solely on the generosity of our donors. Without the charitable assistance we wouldn't be able to provide the children with the education that they currently have today! BUT we still need your help! Click the 'Donate Now' button to contribute to this cause. Every donation counts, no matter how small. Be a part of these childrens' journey towards a brighter future. Help IDEAS Academy make a difference.
My name is Sopiah. I am the General Manager of IDEAS Academy. As an educationist with over 20 years of experience I have had the privilege of working in a whole range of institutions from professional bodies to kindergartens. I joined IDEAS Academy because I believe deeply in the work that we do at the Academy.I come from a modest background. There was no way my parents could have afforded the education I received abroad. This was only possible through scholarships and financial aid. I have greatly benefited from being well educated in terms of my career, self confidence and appreciation of life. I want the same for others, which is why I am here.
Naast de stad leren kennen, ben ik nu ook begonnen aan mijn ontdekkingstocht naar mooie initiatieven waar ik hier in Kuala Lumpur mogelijk iets aan kan bijdragen. En die ontdekkingstocht kon niet beter beginnen, want woensdag was ik uitgenodigd voor een heel bijzonder optreden: de musical The Lion King @Ideas Academy. Al meteen aan het begin van de musical toen de leerlingen 'The circle of life' begonnen te zingen, was ik ontroerd!Op Ideas Acadamy zitten vluchtelingkinderen, met name uit Myanmar, die anders niet naar school mogen gaan in Maleisië. De school heeft hard hulp nodig, zodat ze deze kinderen les kunnen blijven geven. Daarom deel ik dit graag met jullie. Een bijdrage zou geweldig zijn!
Help children to keep their education!
"We started to go to Malaysia but it was difficult. After long time we made it to Kawthuang. We crossed the sea in a small boat. There were 15 of us all crammed into a small area on top under a big plastic sheet to hide us. It was hard to breathe and it hurt a lot. The next morning we arrived at Ranong. That afternoon we had to climb a mountain. Everybody is very tired and hungry. Many of us our feet are bleeding. Mine were very painful. The next morning we had to cross a river with no boat. In the evening we climbed another mountain. That day we did not eat and we did not sleep. The next day we arrived in Malaysia."This is a story of a girl that was forced to leave her country at an age of 6, she is now 12 years old. She finally can go to school now and learns for how to read and write. This is something that we already learn in Europe at an age of 6! Due to the law, refugees are not allowed at public schools like here in the Netherlands and are not being recognised. Families have to live with 12 people in one room and have to pay rent and eat with 50 euros or less a month. IDEAS Academy is a learning centre for marginalised and vulnerable children based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Most of the students are refugees and stateless persons. It is one of a small number of schools in Malaysia which provides secondary school level education for refugee children. Besides education, IDEAS Academy also gives them a safe area, where they can be themselves and play. Outside the children are not safe and have the possibility to get arrested by the police. This organisation is really more than just a school, so please help these children to give them education and a safe place to be.
Education is one of the most valuable assets a refugee can have. IDEAS Academy aims to provide holistic education to refugees in hopes of equipping them with the tools necessary for a better and brighter future. Beyond education, IDEAS Academy is also a safe space for the children to build friendships, socialise and to feel a sense of belonging.Unfortunately, IDEAS Academy is running dangerously low on funds and may have to close down in a few months. Help us save our school. Help our refugee children reclaim their future. Click on the 'Donate Now' button to contribute.
"Living a minimally acceptable ethical life involves using a substantial part of our spare resources to make the world a better place. Living a fully ethical life involves doing the most good we can." - Peter Singer Fundraisers like these, albeit aplenty, are born out of a necessity. While we might be tempted to donate to someone's trip to solo travel across the world or the charity page with the fanciest photos, the most underprivileged of the birth lottery go unnoticed by our epistemological shortcomings. One of these causes is IDEAS Academy, a learning centre for marginalised and vulnerable children based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Most of the students are refugees and stateless persons. It is one of a small number of schools in Malaysia which provides secondary school level education for refugee children. Due to the law, they do not have access to public schools.At IDEAS Academy, we believe in education for all, regardless of background, ethnicity or economic situation. A child should not be deprived an education simply because she is a refugee or stateless. We aim to give every child aged 12 to 18 years old in our care, an education which will open doors of opportunity for them. We believe that they can grow up to become responsible, confident and compassionate individuals who will help their families and communities.At the moment, our learning centre is facing hard times. We are running out of funds to keep our doors open. With 125 amazing students (and 60 more children on our waitlist), IDEAS Academy might actually be forced to close in August.We need at least RM 200,000 (or USD 50 000) to keep the lights on, pay rent and teachers' salaries, and provide food for the children until the end of December. Please help our learning centre survive this year by making a generous donation to our cause.Your donation would go a long way towards ensuring that these children will be able to have a safe environment for their education, and to be able to take their first steps towards fulfilling their ambitions of becoming doctors, teachers and productive members of society.
A little girl walked into a classroom and smiled brightly upon seeing her friend, waving at her. She bounced over to her seat, unzipped her bag and pulled out a new story book she borrowed from the library yesterday. She did not know how to read yet, but the colourful images were thrilling. She showed it to her friend and they both gush happily over the book. They couldn't wait for the teacher to explain what the words meant! But for now, they created their own story by looking at the fun images. As a child, I looked forward to school. That was where my friends were and we had a good time interacting with each other and learning. I cannot imagine myself removed from a learning environment and denied the rights to education by law or by circumstances but that is the reality for most refugee, undocumented and underprivileged children. Education helps shape the worldview and life of people. It presents opportunity, success and understanding of the world. Education has even developed to become more than just a need; it is now a currency. In a world where knowledge is the best skill you can offer, I believe that we must not exclude anyone from receiving education. Organizations like IDEAS Academy who knew the importance of education for children struggles to provide access and ensure that their need to learn is addressed. We cannot accept a world where education remains a privilege. We lose so much by allowing that to happen economy-wise, socially and culturally. It is time that we change and help those in need. Extend a hand and pull these children along with us. I believe that by helping them to receive education, the world would in turn receive responsible, compassionate and confident individuals with ideas for a better future!
Dear friends, refugees are not recognised in Malaysia, which also means that children categorized as refugees are not allowed to attend public schools. Without Education, they would fall into a huge hole and will not be able to face the careers they dream of. If you also believe that everyone has a right to education to make something of his/her life, would you make a small contribution? At this time, IDEAS Academy (a secondary school in the heart of Kuala Lumpur) has financial problems hopes to stay open, thanks to your support!
Every morning, I see children waiting for their school buses to pick them up, not having any second thoughts on how their lives would be if they were refugee children. I have taken all these for granted till I learned about the plight of refugee children in our country. Refugees have no legal status in Malaysia and are denied entry into the national education system. Imagine your child being unable to receive any form of education due to their background, wouldn't that be heartbreaking? At IDEAS Academy, refugee and stateless children are given a chance at learning. Unfortunately, IDEAS Academy is in desperate need of funds. Being a Mommy, I know the importance of education on a child's success, so please don't deprive any children of that and donate to this cause that I truly care about.
Every child in this world has the right to life, survival, and development in their maximum extent possible. We know that, but do we know how it feels to become a child that was denied to get those rights? Can we imagine being a refugee at the early age and see other children same like their age have the access to get and education while they can't? Do you know what is the worst thing that can happen to these children? They can be arrested and returned back to their origin of place which they cannot even survive in it. Why? Because they are considered as the illegal immigrant as Malaysia don't be a signatory to the UN Convention on Refugees. When these children are considered being the illegal immigrant, they have no access to government-funded schools in Malaysia. Their fundamental right was denied, which is the right of getting an education. Luckily, these children can still get the access to education at informal learning centers that were run by the UNHCR partnerships and one of the partnerships is the IDEAS Academy. IDEAS Academy is the learning center for marginalized and undocumented children from the age of 12 to 18 and it provides secondary school level system for them. IDEAS Academy always believes that these kids have the potential to change the world to become a better place and they key of making that happen is by giving them the education. By giving them the access to education, these children can grow up to become responsible, confident and compassionate persons that can bring positivity and changes to the community.However, IDEAS Academy is 100% depending on funding to provide education to these students and the Academy is currently facing hard times as they are running out of funds to keep the IDEAS Academy from closing their doors. And because of that, your donation is really meaningful for these children to have their education at the secure place. Your donation also can be a step that can drive these children to achieve their dreams to become successful person that can contribute back to the community.
As a lifelong supporter of universal education, I believe children born in unfortunate circumstances deserve an opportunity to learn as much as they can to make something of themselves in the future. After going through a comprehensive set of education systems, I found myself unable to justify the luck I had received, especially if I compared it to Rohingya children or those of a stateless background. I love knowledge, I love being educated, I love knowing that there are systems out there designed to help me achieve my dreams so long as I work hard. I want other children who are less fortunate to be able to say the same. Donate with me to IDEAS Academy. For a better future for all of us.

Federico Diez de Medina de los Ríos (La Paz, Bolivia; 1839 - La Paz, Bolivia; 13 de junio de 1904) fue un diplomático internacionalista, político y escritor boliviano. Fue también ministro de relaciones exteriores de Bolivia desde 14 de diciembre de 1900 hasta el 29 de abril de 1902; durante el gobierno del presidente José Manuel Pando. Cabe mencionar que Federico Diez de Medina es considerado uno de los primeros tratadistas de Bolivia y de América en materia de Derecho Internacional.

Biografía
Federico Diez de Medina nació en la ciudad de La Paz el año 1839. Fue hijo de Manuel Diez de Medina y de Juliana de Los Ríos y León de La Barra.

Desde 1850 estudió en un liceo de la ciudad de La Paz hasta su bachillerato en 1860. Durante su niñez, Diez de Medina fue un muchacho débil y enfermizo, por esa timidez siempre fue a menudo objeto de burlas por parte de sus compañeros. Pero sobresalió en la lectura, donde despierta su vocación jurídico literario.

Al terminar los estudios secundarios, decidió continuar con sus estudios superiores, ingresando a la facultad de derecho de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (UMSA) graduándose años después como abogado el 7 de septiembre de 1864. Al poco tiempo de graduarse como abogado, se casó con Leticia Lertora con quien tuvo tres hijos: Federico Diez de Medina Lertora, Alberto Diez de Medina Lertora y Eduardo Diez de Medina Lertora.

Vida laboral
Durante su vida laboral, Federico se desempeñó como docente universitario del cuarto año de derecho en los temas de derecho internacional en la facultad de derecho de la universidad.

Fue también presidente del concejo municipal de la ciudad de La Paz. Ocupó el cargo de Prefecto y Comandante del departamento de La Paz; Fiscal de Distrito y presidente el Tribunal de Partido. Fue también vocal del Consejo Consultivo de Relaciones Exteriores presidente de la convención y miembro activo en el Congreso Nacional como diputado. Mientras se encontraba como vice-Cancelario y después como Cancelario condujo por un tiempo la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés de La Paz.

Diez de medina fue diputado de Bolivia en dos ocasiones, la primera desde 1870 hasta 1878 y la segunda desde 1881 hasta 1899. El año 1897, Diez de Medina fue nombrado Prefecto del departamento de La Paz. En 1900 fue también senador de Bolivia por el departamento de La Paz.

Cabe mencionar que Federico Diez de Medina asistió como diputado a la promulgación de la Constitución Política del Estado de 1878, durante el gobierno del presidente Hilarión Daza. Fue también fundador del periódico "La Democracia", periódico donde escribiría sus pensamientos y puntos de vista de la política boliviana durante mucho tiempo.

Expediciones diplomáticas

A fines del año 1894 y por órdenes del presidente Mariano Baptista Caserta, una Delegación boliviana partió de viaje desde la ciudad de La Paz con destino al Perú y a Brasil. Esta delegación diplomática estaría a la cabeza de Federico Diez de Medina. El viaje al Brasil lo hizo por vía marítima, en donde navegó por los ríos de la amazonia. Años después, Federico relataría ampliamente el sufrimiento que pasó la expedición boliviana, primeramente por la picaduras y molestias constantes de los mosquitos, en donde se vieron obligados a arrojarse en varias ocasiones a ríos caudalosos para evitar de esa manera las picaduras, y segundo se refiere a los intransitables caminos de Bolivia a principios del Siglo XX, convirtiéndose esta expedición en una ruda prueba para los diplomáticos bolivianos. Durante su viaje a Brasil, Federico cuenta su experiencia:

Cuando más recorremos las porciones históricas de éste pequeño y curioso mundo, nos convencemos más de la eterna repetición de las cosas y observamos que los pueblos se prestan unos a otros los usos y modalidades, y que nada verdaderamente existe de único y de original.

Guerra federal de 1899
Después de haber estado por poco tiempo en la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, retornó a Bolivia, donde prácticamente se había agravado la disputa por el poder entre los liberales del Partido Liberal de Bolivia y los conservadores del Partido Conservador de Bolivia.

Una vez llegado a Bolivia, Diez de Medina se reincorporó nuevamente a su actividad parlamentaria para asistir a la Asamblea Constituyente de 1899. Federico fue partidario del federalismo pero con objetivo unitario, alegando la importancia de la administración del país, por una clase social insurgente, base del equilibrio más adecuado para promover la prosperidad general. Fue contrario al proyecto de la Ley de Radicatoria. Cabe mencionar que Diez de Medina fue fiel partidario e importante personaje político del Partido Liberal de Bolivia, inclusive participó en el guerra federal de 1899.

Una vez terminada la contienda bélica, Federico Diez de Medina se referiría pronunciando el siguiente discurso:

En 1899, el presidente de Bolivia Severo Fernández Alonso, reconociendo la experiencia que Federico Diez de Medina tenía en el ámbito de la diplomacia, le ofreció el cargo de ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Bolivia, pero diez de Medina rechazo inmediatamente el ofrecimiento ya que sus pensamientos e ideologías políticas no coincidían con las ideologías del Partido Conservador del presidente sino más bien con las del Partido Liberal de Boivia.

Canciller de Bolivia
Pasada la guerra federal, el gobierno liberal del presidente José Manuel Pando nombró ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Bolivia a Federico Diez de Medina (canciller) por decreto supremo del 14 de diciembre de 1900.

Durante su gestión como ministro, Diez de Medina refrendó el "TRATADO DE EXTRADICIÓN" que se había firmado entre los Estado Unidos y Bolivia el 21 de abril de 1900. Ratificó el "ACUERDO AL ACTA DE CANJE" el 23 de diciembre de 1901. Celebró también el "TRATADO DE ARBITRAJE GENERAL" entre Bolivia y Perú del 2 de noviembre de 1901,  denominado Diez de Medina-Osma.

En cuanto a las relaciones que tuvo Bolivia con Italia, estando de Plenipotenciario el Dr. Pedro García en Lima-Perú, se celebró el TRATADO DE AMISTAD Y EXTRADICIÓN el 8 de octubre de 1900. El canciller Diez de Medina refrendó y lo ratificó el 7 de enero de 1901 la CONVENCIÓN DE ENCOMIENDAS POSTALES entre Bolivia y Estados Unidos, firmado el 24 de abril de 1900, Villazón-Bridgman.

Cabe mencionar que durante su gestión, el Perú presentó reclamos ante el Gobierno de Bolivia por concesiones otorgadas por él en el Madre de Dios, por el envío de tropas al Acre y por las concesiones a la "The Bolivian Syndicate" (constituíada por capitales norteamericanos, ingleses y alemanes) en el Acre. El Perú alegaba su soberanía y su dominio en esa extensión. A su vez, el Gobierno de Bolivia objetó, por iguales razones, el establecimiento de una comisaría peruana en Tambopata y pidió su retiro, a lo que no accedió el Perú, por considerarse con derecho a ella en virtud del statu-quo del año 1873.

Es entonces que dado este conflicto, el Gobierno del Perú propuso al gobierno de Bolivia, poner en arbitraje el territorio disputado, lo cual Bolivia se mostró satisfecha también. Se suscribió un tratado de arbitraje general el 21 de septiembre de 1901 entre el canciller Federico Diez de Medina y el Ministro Plenipotenciario del Perú, Felipe de Osma.

Cabe resaltar que durante los primeros años del liberalismo, se mantuvo una cierta continuidad de la política exterior del partido conservador. Se continuó las negociaciones de límites con el Perú. El 23 de septiembre de 1902, se firmó un acuerdo para la demarcación de límites fronterizos terrestre con el Perú, en donde mencionaba la participación de una comisión mixta de ambos países, la cual debiera de estudiar, demarcar y mejorar la línea divisoria en la zona.  Se firmó también un segundo acuerdo el 30 de diciembre de 1902 dentro del marco del convenio firmado el 21 de septiembre de 1901. Este segundo acuerdo se refería a los límites en la zona fluvial, excluyendo expresamente los límites terrestres de del primer acuerdo firmado el 23 de septiembre de 1902.
Después de solucionar algunos límites fronterizos y lograr convenios con Perú, Federico Diez de Medina renunció al cargo de ministro de relaciones exteriores de Bolivia el 29 de abril de 1902, para luego volver al cargo de senador en la cámara de senadores, donde presidió también dicha cámara.
En abril de 1904, el presidente José Manuel Pando le ofreció el cargo de ministro de gobierno y fomento de Bolivia pero Federico rechazo tal cargo por motivos de salud.

Federico Diez de Medina falleció en la ciudad de La Paz el 13 de junio de 1904 a los 65 años de edad.

Publicaciones
Durante el año 1904, Diez de Medina escribió artículos sobre la guerra, negociaciones y delimitaciones limítrofes del Acre en el periódico "El Diario" de la ciudad de La Paz.

Publicó también los siguientes libros:
"Derecho Público Político"
 "Nociones de Derecho Internacional de Montevideo"
"Derecho Internacional Privado"
 "El Principio Federal"
 "Las Minorías en Bolivia".
 "El Sistema Electoral"
 "Límites de Bolivia con la República Argentina"
"Informe a los Capitalistas Extranjeros"
 "Observaciones a los Tratados sancionados por el Congreso Internacional Sudamericano".
 "El Ultimo Uti Posidettis de 1810".
 "Derecho Internacional Moderno" (cuatro ediciones en Europa)

Personalidad
Cabe mencionar que Federico Diez de Medina poseía de una espléndida biblioteca que contenía importantes documentos de la historia de la fundación de Bolivia y de sus antepasados, pero lamentablemente, debido a un incendio ocurrido en su domicilio de la calle Mercado, el 19 de octubre de 1877, el fuego quemó todos los documentos hasta extinguirlos completamente.

En su personalidad, Diez de Medina se obsesionó con la utopía y las costumbres franceses, que siempre soñaba pertenecer a los sabios de La Sorbona de París. Fue un notable paceño, tratadista y maestro en derecho Internacional. Cabe destacar también que Federico Diez de Medina no fue pensador y su erudición filosófica era muy modesta de modo que estas reflexiones le condujeron a un ensimismamiento acabando en un misticismo católico y moral con la cual se distingue con la mayoría de sus contemporáneos. Sus conferencias y publicaciones como abogado internacionalista merecieron elogios y altos juicios de la crítica europea y americana.

Quick question–are we only looking at heinous residential buildings? Or can it be mulitpurpose building?
Multi-purpose is A-ok with me! Perhaps we should create a special category just for them?


text:
Q: Do typical multicore processors have muliple ports from L1 to L2 For typical x86 multicore processors, let us say, we have a processor with 2 cores and both cores encounter an L1 instruction cache miss when reading an instruction. Lets also assume that both of the cores are accessing data in addresses which are in separate cache lines. Would those two cores get data from L2 to L1 instruction cache simultaneously or would it be serialized? In other words, do we have multiple ports for L2 cache access for different cores?

A:
For typical x86 multicore processors, let us say, we have a processor with 2 cores

Ok, let use some early variant of Intel Core 2 Duo with two cores (Conroe). They have 2 CPU cores, 2 L1i caches and shared L2 cache.

and both cores encounter an L1 instruction cache miss when reading an instruction.

Ok, there will be miss in L1i to read next instruction (miss in L1d, when you access the data, works in similar way, but there are only reads from L1i and reads&writes from L1d). Each L1i with miss will generate request to next layer of memory hierarchy, to the L2 cache.

Lets also assume that both of the cores are accessing data in addresses which are in separate cache lines.

Now we must to know how the caches are organized (This is classic middle-detail cache scheme which is logically similar to real hardware). Cache is memory array with special access circuits, and it looks like 2D array. We have many sets (64 in this picture) and each set has several ways. When we ask cache to get data from some address, the address is split into 3 parts: tag, set index and offset inside cache line. Set index is used to select the set (row in our 2D cache memory array), then tags in all ways are compared (to find right column in 2D array) with tag part of the request address, this is done in parallel by 8 tag comparators. If there is tag in cache equal to request address tag part, cache have "hit" and cache line from the selected cell will be returned to the requester.
Ways and sets; 2D array of cache (image from http://www.cnblogs.com/blockcipher/archive/2013/03/27/2985115.html or http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/post/intel-cpu-caches/)

The example where set index 2 was selected, and parallel tag comparators give a "hit" (tag equality) for the Way 1:

What is the "port" to some memory or to cache? This is hardware interface between external hardware blocks and the memory, which has lines for request address (set by external block, for L1 it is set by CPU, for L2 - by L1), access type (load or store; may be fixed for the port), data input (for stores) and data output with ready bit (set by memory; cache logic handles misses too, so it return data both on hit and on miss, but it will return data for miss later).
If we want to increase true port count, we should increase hardware: for raw SRAM memory array we should add two transistor for every bit to increase port count by 1; for cache we should duplicate ALL tag comparator logic. But this has too high cost, so there are no much multiported memory in CPU, and if it has several ports, the total count of true ports is small.
But we can emulate having of several ports. http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~twenisch/470_F07/lectures/15.pdf  EECS 470 2007 slide 11:

Parallel cache access is harder than parallel FUs

*

*fundamental difference: caches have state, FUs don't

*one port affects future for other ports

Several approaches used

*

*true multi‐porting

*multiple cache copies

*virtual multi‐porting

*multi‐banking (interleaving)

*line buffers

Multi-banking (sometimes called slicing) is used by modern chips ("Intel Core i7 has four banks in L1 and eight banks in L2"; figure 1.6 from page 9 of ISBN 1598297546 (2011) - https://books.google.com/books?id=Uc9cAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9 ). It means, that there are several hardware caches of smaller sizes, and some bits of request address (part of set index - think the sets - rows as splitted over 8 parts or having colored into interleaved rows) are used to select bank. Each bank has low number of ports (1) and function just like classic cache (and there is full set of tag comparators in each bank; but the height of bank - number of sets in it is smaller, and every tag in array is routed only to single tag comparator - cheap as in single ported cache).

Would those two cores get data from L2 to L1 instruction cache simultaneously or would it be serialized? In other words, do we have multiple ports for L2 cache access for different cores?

If two accesses are routed to different L2 banks (slices), then cache behave like multiported and can handle both requests at the same time. But if both are routed to the single bank with single port, they will be serialized for the cache. Cache serialization may cost several ticks and request will be stalled near port; CPU will see this as slightly more access latency.

A U.S. household cleaning supplies manufacturer will open several recycling centers in Indonesia, granting tokens to citizens for plastic waste collection.
With the help of Plastic Bank, SC Johnson will open eight plastic collection centers throughout Indonesia. The first one has officially opened in tourist mecca Bali on Oct. 28, with other centers scheduled to be operational by May 2019. After opening the network in Indonesia, SC Johnson hopes to expand the program to neighbouring Asian countries.
In those centers, local collectors can exchange plastic waste for digital tokens, which can then be used to purchase goods and services via a decentralized system. The press release notes that the use of blockchain in distributing tokens could help reduce the risk of loss or theft of remuneration.
This blockchain solution, the companies believe, will not only help combat the ocean pollution problem, but could reduce the poverty level in Indonesia itself, according to founder and CEO of Plastic Bank David Katz.
Blockchain technology is widely used in charity programs owing to its sustainability and high security level. For instance, the United Nations (UN) created a special panel on digital cooperation, which explicitly puts blockchain technology on the agenda.
Recent examples of blockchain use by UN include the UN Women project in Jordanian refugee camps, where fugitives obtain their salaries directly using blockchain. The payments within the program can also be made via a decentralized system where one can purchase food or goods using an iris scan instead of cash or cards.
Decentralized solutions are also used in the environment protection area, especially in the industry of renewable solar energy. For instance, Singapore's major utility provider SP Group has recently announced the launch of a marketplace for the sale of renewable energy certificates.

Coronavirus In Jails And Prisons
California prison watchdog finds lapses in COVID-19 screening procedures, the 'trailer jails' that officials in one Missouri county praised as 'innovative' are the site of an outbreak, and the U.S. Marshals Service is blamed for spreading infections among federal detention facilities.

Weeks before the first reported cases of COVID-19 in prisons and jails, correctional healthcare experts warned that all the worst aspects of the U.S. criminal justice system — overcrowded, aging facilities lacking sanitary conditions and where medical care is, at best, sparse; too many older prisoners with underlying illnesses; regular flow of staff, guards, healthcare workers in and out of facilities — would leave detention facilities, and their surrounding communities, vulnerable to outbreaks. Despite those early warnings, even jails and prisons that believed they were well-prepared have seen a rapid spread of the virus. Over the next several months, The Appeal will be examining the coronavirus crisis unfolding in U.S. prisons and jails, COVID-19's impact on surrounding communities and how the virus might reshape our lives. Read recent posts.
Earlier today, the watchdog agency overseeing California's prison system released the first in a series of reports assessing how the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has handled COVID-19.
Today's report focuses on COVID-19 screening practices and concludes that CDCR failed to establish clear guidelines for screening staff and visitors. It describes screening directives as "vague," leading to inconsistent practices systemwide. Even OIG staff, who toured prisons to gather information for the report, weren't always screened.
"During multiple visits by our staff between May 19, 2020, and June 26, 2020, prisons did not screen some of them for the disease's known signs and symptoms," the report says.
That criticism echoes a recent court filing by the Prison Law Office, which has sued CDCR over prison conditions. Prison Law Office attorneys have argued that CDCR lacks an adequate, comprehensive testing plan to ensure staff don't bring COVID-19 into correctional facilities.
The OIG reports—there will be at least three—were requested in April by the Speaker of the California Assembly, Anthony Rendon. Future reports will look at the availability of personal protective gear and how incarcerated people who contract COVID-19 are treated.
As of this afternoon, more than 9,500 people incarcerated in California prisons have tested positive for COVID-19 and 54 have died. More than 2,000 CDCR staff members have tested positive and nine have died.
Prison staff told OIG inspectors that they hadn't been properly trained and had been given thermometers that didn't work properly, including some "that lacked battery power."
The report recommends that CDCR better train its staff and also tighten up procedures to ensure no one enters a prison without first being screened. It also recommends that thermometers are regularly tested to make sure they're functioning and that extra batteries "are always on hand."
In a letter to Rendon included with the report, Inspector General Roy W. Wesley writes that CDCR withheld information that Rendon had specifically requested to be reviewed, "which essentially limited our analysis for a portion of the report." Under California law, Wesley writes, withholding such information from the OIG is a misdemeanor offense.
"In response to our draft report, the Secretary of [CDCR] informed us that 'after further review and consideration, the decision has been made to release the information,'" at some point in the future, Wesley writes. "Nevertheless, the decision to initially withhold the information we requested remains a concern."
Wesley does acknowledge the challenges that COVID-19 has posed for CDCR, particularly for staff and detainees. "I would be remiss if I failed to recognize the individual actions of countless staff and incarcerated persons who played roles in helping to control the spread of the disease," he wrote. "Some of these individuals risked their own safety—and, by extension, the safety of their loved ones—to help those who became infected. Such heroic efforts must not be lost amid this discussion."
Two weeks ago, the Greene County Jail in Springfield, Missouri, reported its first case of COVID-19. Since then, at least 83 incarcerated people and 29 staff members have tested positive. Springfield News-Leader reporter Katie Kull spoke to several detainees who told her that the outbreak started in one of the 52-foot semitrailers the jail uses to house people.
For the last few years, the jail has used the trailers to alleviate overcrowding. In December 2018, the Springfield News-Leader took a close look at living conditions inside the units, which were designed by a company called All Detainment Solutions (whose URL is "overcrowdedjails.com").
"Within the stainless steel walls, 108 men eat, sleep and live for days, weeks or months at a time, confined in a space that, per man, is less than half the size of a ping-pong table," reporter Alissa Zhu wrote.
County officials described the trailers as an innovative and money-saving solution to jail overcrowding. But the experts Zhu spoke with criticized them as neither innovative nor humane. Northwestern University law professor David Shapiro, for instance, told Zhu the trailers were a "recipe for disaster."
"It would be hard to imagine a worse design from the standpoint of safety and security," Shapiro said.
* Yesterday evening, the Hawaii Supreme Court ordered that all pretrial detainees charged with a misdemeanor offense, and who haven't tested positive for COVID-19, be released from jail. The order follows an outbreak at the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC) and a weekend of unrest in the jail. The ruling noted that "appropriate physical distancing is not possible" at the jail and "has the potential to not only place the inmates at risk of death or serious illness, but also endanger the lives and well-being of staff and service providers who work at OCCC, their families, and members of the community at large." According to Hawaii's Department of Public Safety, 170 OCCC detainees and 34 staff members have tested positive for the virus.
* The Marshall Project reports that the U.S. Marshals Service, which is responsible for transferring people between federal prisons and jails, isn't testing the people it transfers for COVID-19. The Marshals Service says that it's the Federal Bureau of Prisons's job to test and quarantine, not theirs. While the BOP didn't respond to reporters questions, "Staff and prisoners have blamed transfers for helping the coronavirus wreak havoc across the Bureau of Prisons, killing 111 prisoners and at least one staff member, and infecting over 10,000 prisoners and 1,200 workers in America's largest network of prisons and jails."
* People held in two Santa Clara County, Calif., jails have gone on a hunger strike to protest conditions that they say sparked recent COVID-19 outbreaks in San Jose's Main Jail and the Elmwood Correctional Complex in Milpitas. Hunger strikes aren't new to the Main Jail, The San Jose Mercury News reports, where, for years, incarcerated people have protested the lack of recreation time and overuse of solitary confinement.

What is the African middle class? (Photo/Shutterstock).
THESE days the African middle class is widely discussed as a phenomenon considered indicative of social change.
But a great deal of the debate hasn't been very well informed. For a long time contributions lacked a rigorous analysis, failing to examine the so-called middle class in terms of its potential as a proper class. People involved in the debate hardly bothered to engage with the more methodological aspects of the analysis of classes, which has a long tradition in social sciences and should be an integral part of any analysis.
Most problematic was the fiddling with figures, which classified people according to a minimum income as middle class. This is clearly not a very sensible way to approach proper class definition. It puts almost exclusive emphasis on financial and monetary aspects. But professional and social status, cultural norms and lifestyle related attributes as well as political orientation(s) and influence were often ignored. Where they were considered, it was often only in passing.
The debate largely ignored earlier analyses on African elites. It promoted the assumption that the middle class(es) are a positive ingredient for the development of and in African societies.
But such optimism is unhelpful both in terms of the potential economic role of these loosely defined middle classes, as well as the expectations about their political relevance.
In the meantime that's started to change. Scholars from various disciplines related to African Studies are gaining the upper hand and claiming ownership. New publications testify to increasingly concerted efforts to respond with different and more nuanced perspectives.
These engagements offer insights based on more than lofty generalisations void of any social realities on the ground. Rather, the case studies test some of the assumptions and are able to portrait existing identities and practices of social segments of societies, which might be considered as middle class – or not.
So then, what class is the middle class?
What is lumped together as middle classes represent at best an opaque awareness – if not about themselves (in the plural) – then at least about society and their position, aims and aspirations. Such ambiguity explains the different political and social orientations of members of a middle class, their different roles and positions in social struggles and their difference in interests.
The conclusions seem to suggest that there is no social force in the making, which by status and definition would indeed be the torch bearer for more democracy, participation, human rights, social equality and redistribution of wealth beyond benefiting just the group. One might call this a class interest, shared by many members of these middle classes across the continent.
But depending on the circumstances, ethnicity, pigmentation and other criteria (not least religion) matter at least as much as (at best) diffuse class awareness.
This should not stand in the way of continued interest in this species called middle class, which at a closer look is not as new as some contributions to the wider debate suggest. After all, there were always some middle layers of societies with a set of differing interests and orientations – only that their visibility and size in African countries seems to have increased lately.
But we should be much more cautious about providing simplified and sweeping explanations about the scope for potential social and political reforms and the impact on transformation of societies these middle classes are able – or willing – to promote.
After all, it is neither the middle class(es) nor even the upper fifth of the income pyramid that has any influence on the distribution of wealth in societies. They too are at the receiving end.
It is indeed the top decimal if not the top 5% or an even smaller fraction that drives inequality, and it is these haves that have grasped the steering wheel. Their forms of appropriation and enrichment are the ultimate determinants of the scope and limit of poverty reduction by means of redistributive measures in favour of those in the bottom half of society.
It's the share of the rich, stupid.
One is tempted to suspect that the middle class(es) hype seeks to propose a historical mission of these social layers in terms of future perspectives. But, in the light of the real (also material and political) power relations and structures of societies and the global economy, they are never able to live up to this mission.
Despite this sobering conclusion, the current engagement with the phenomenon called the African middle class(es) is anything but obsolete. Independent of their size, they signify modified social relations in African societies, which indeed deserve attention and rigorous analysis – with the emphasis on the latter.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to its high incidence rate and often long-term sequelae, TBI contributes significantly to increasing costs of medicare expenditures annually. Unfortunately, advances in the field have been stifled by patient and injury heterogeneity that pose a major challenge in TBI prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we briefly discuss the causes of TBI, followed by its prevalence, classification and pathophysiology. The current imaging detection methods and animal models used to study brain injury are examined. We discuss the potential use of molecular markers in detecting and monitoring the progression of TBI, with particular emphasis on microRNAs as a novel class of molecular modulators of injury and its repair in the neural tissue.

Dion's recently added the new Southwest Chicken Salad to its menu, and upgraded a few of their current salads.
Known primarily for its pizza and subs, Dion's, founded in Albuquerque in 1978, with two locations in Las Cruces, recently debuted a new salad, as well as upgraded some of their current salads. Whether you're trying to eat healthier or just love fresh greens, the salads at Dion's are worth a try.
Recently, my fiancé and I went to lunch at the Dion's location on E. Lohman Avenue. We went in to check out the new salad, the Southwest Chicken Salad, which was added to the menu in early August.
The Southwest Chicken Salad is made with a mixture of greens, chicken, black beans, roasted corn, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, avocado, crunchy wontons and Dion's mix (diced cucumbers, red onions and bell peppers). It's served with Green Chile Ranch dressing.
Salads at Dion's come in a half order ($4.75), full order ($6.95) and family size ($11.95).
My fiancé ordered a half order of the Southwest Chicken salad and I opted for the Chef Salad.
What I was impressed with immediately was the size of the salads. For under $5, we each received a deep bowl of salad, filled to the brim. At first glance, I was mistaken in thinking it wouldn't be enough food, but each order was more than filling for us.
The Southwest Chicken Salad's iceberg and romaine lettuce were crispy and fresh. There was a small scoop of avocado that provided a creaminess to the salad. However, my fiancé did note that the avocado only made him want more of it. Adding an extra layer of texture to the salad was the roasted corn; it was nice and juicy when you bit into it. With all the different flavors in this salad, the black beans, chicken and crunchy wontons almost get lost in the shuffle, overpowered by the other ingredients.
The Green Chile Ranch dressing that comes on the side added an extra component to the salad. Unlike the original style of ranch, this dressing is kind of chunky because of the green chile, but had an overall creaminess and slightly salty flavor to it. There is a mild heat to the chile — meaning that it has a spice to it, yet allows the other flavors to come through.
Dion's also reimagined a few of their other salads. They have added bacon to the Chef and Turkey Salads, recrafted their lettuce blends and reintroduced their circle croutons.
With any Dion's salad, you are able to substitute any lettuce mix. Options include spring mix, kale and romaine, spinach and romaine and iceberg and romaine.
I ordered the half order of the Chef Salad, which came with greens, ham, cheddar cheese, sliced eggs, bacon, tomato, Dion's mix and circle croutons. New to this salad is the romaine lettuce, circle croutons and bacon.
What I enjoyed the most about the Chef Salad is how filling it was. There is so much protein from the bacon, eggs and ham that it leaves you feeling satisfied. There is also a lot going on in this salad — I liked the variety of flavors from the cucumbers and the crunch and bite from the bell peppers and red onions. The added bacon turned the salad into a hearty meal that would please both health-conscious customers and those just looking for a tasty lunch or dinner.
Dion's has two locations in Las Cruces, 1060 El Paseo Road and 3950 E. Lohman Ave. Both locations are open 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Both locations also allow for online ordering. For information, call 575-623-2321 (El Paseo Road), 575-521-3434 (E. Lohman Ave.) or visit dions.com.
Where: 1060 El Paseo Road and 3950 E. Lohman Ave.
Cost: Salads $4.75-11.95. Pizzas and subs also available.

We have also officially opened the doors to new our office in Lausanne, Switzerland. We are honored to announce that Gleb Chuvpilo is joining Rewired full time as a Managing Partner, promoted from Venture Partner.
An integral member of our team since the beginning, Gleb is invaluable in helping us identify, validate, and collaborate with our growing list of portfolio companies.
He brings to Rewired both venture experience and deep technical expertise, with a Master's degree from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab and an MBA in Finance and Strategic Management from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
A seasoned investor in the space, Gleb previously managed AI-driven quantitative trading portfolios at Goldman Sachs ($10 billion AUM) and Clarium (Peter Thiel's $6 billion global macro fund). Gleb also helped Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian launch an early-stage venture fund focusing on investments in Y Combinator startups.
Gleb's field experience in Artificial Intelligence includes building AI algorithms at Palantir Technologies (an In-Q-Tel backed Silicon Valley startup), and co-founding several technology startups, including Authy (Y Combinator class 2012, acquired by Twilio), Ride (with Uber co-founder Oscar Salazar, funded by TPG and Bono, acquired by Enterprise Holdings), and Pager (also with Oscar Salazar, funded by New Enterprise Associates and Ashton Kutcher).
Our team is by far our greatest asset, and for their time and knowledge, we are grateful.
In addition to welcoming Gleb full time, we are expanding our physical offices to Switzerland, in addition to our existing office in London. We have been spending more time there than not already, and securing the perfect launchpad space has been a priority over the past year. We've finally found it.
This space is a great place for us to work, house portfolio companies, and host the Swiss robotics community as often as we can. We're still scouting for our studio space, which will be considerably larger given the specialized equipment it will house.
This has been validated by the influx of technology companies and the concentration of impressive talent. The region has a rich history of precision engineering, itself driven by a culture obsessed with building things that last.
Our Lausanne office is the first step towards our full studio space, due to be opened in 2018. We are making steady progress towards building a global hub for interdisciplinary innovation that will generate new forms of human-machine collaboration across an increasingly broad spectrum of activities.
The Lausanne office will be fully staffed, and open for business. We can't wait to welcome you.
Since opening our doors for business earlier this year, we have grown our incredible team and added to our portfolio in a meaningful way. We set out with an ambitious goal, to unlock the next-generation of robotics. We're well on our way.
You'll be seeing a lot more from us soon. Stay tuned.
