Geordie Boomerang: How the tech sector is plugging the North East brain drain
BusinessLong ReadsApps
By James Walker 09 Jul 2018
England's most geographically remote region has long had trouble with skilled workers leaving for the bright lights of London since the decline of British industry - but now the North East brain drain is being plugged by an emerging tech sector
Newcastle's Quayside area is one of the big draws for people who want a higher quality of life
"What we want to do is work with universities and businesses to create an environment and culture by which – excuse my French – they don't all bugger off back to London."
Anthony McMenzie's words touch on the single biggest frustration among employers across the North East of England – watching talent emerge from five great universities in the region – only to see them take the first train to King's Cross.
They call it the North East brain drain, and fears of the talent exodus leaving regional industry short on skilled workers is well documented.
The latest Tech Nation report showed that skills was the biggest concern for tech companies in Newcastle and Sunderland – ahead of access to funding and the remoteness of the area.
"We have five great universities in the region and pretty much every one of them is doing great stuff in attracting students from around the world," says Anthony, client services director at business IT strategy consultant Forfusion, as he addresses a room full of techies at the Dynamo 18 conference in Newcastle.
"We haven't done that well in keeping students here after they graduate so there's a big bit of work to do around that."
Yet, there are whispers at Dynamo 18 – an annual gathering of IT firms that are members of the Dynamo regional industry body – of the age-old North East brain drain slowly being plugged.
Timandra Harkness – author of Big Data: Does Size Matter? – speaks about a "Geordie Boomerang" – the trend of brain boxes from the North East venturing down to London and coming back to the region when they realise the capital is not for them.
Dan Sydes, principal designate of North East Futures University Technical College (UTC), partly linked the return trips of talented northerners to "young people leaving the North East for London with glitz and glamour in their eyes, until they realise they can't afford a room in a shared flat in the worst area of town".
He is not wrong, but it is more than just the faults of London that is plugging the brain drain along the River Tyne.
How the North East brain drain is being plugged
Dynamo appears to be doing a lot of work to address the talent shortage and other issues facing North East IT firms.
The voluntary group made up of large corporations in the area – such as software developer Sage and international consultancy firm Accenture – as well as smaller companies works as a collective to promote investment and settlement in the North East.
It does so through its annual Dynamo conference – attended by several hundred people – awards ceremonies and a mentoring scheme being piloted this month.
Dynamo and several of its members have also backed the North East Futures UTC – a technical college focused on maths, science and computing that will be taking its first cohort of students this year.
"We are very much motivated by the economic needs of the North East," says Dan. "The region has the second highest youth unemployment in the country – the only region with higher youth unemployment is the West Midlands.
"Things have been getting a bit better recently, but still nowhere near where they should be."
North East Futures UTC will offer students a fairly standard range of GCSE qualifications but truly specialises where A-level courses are concerned – only offering A-levels in science, maths and computer science on the advice of regional companies partnered with the school.
The idea is that this technical college – where students have to turn up for business hours in business dress – will foster and hold local talent through training and work experience offers.
"There will always be a need for talent that is homegrown," says Giselle Stewart, director of UK corporate affairs at Ubisoft – a video game developer with a major studio in Newcastle that backs the UTC.
"The UTC won't solve the whole problem, but it's certainly a very positive step in giving kids the direction and helping a lot of the employers in the region."
How could the North East go about solving the whole problem? Dan tells Compelo that the North East "could sell its assets a bit more", while Anthony says the region needs "great stories that we can tell potential inward investors".
How to sell the North East
A lot of chatter about selling the North East focused on its beaches rather than its business (Picture: St Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay)
A lot of the talk about how the North East could sell itself to disaffected workers in the South East or Geordies thinking of upping sticks for the capital is not centred on competing with the sheer size of industry and opportunities in London, but the better quality of life in places like Newcastle.
"I remember when I was on the tube once I saw an advert to go be a nurse in Dorset, and it mentioned house prices, pictures of the views and beaches," says Dan.
"That kind of marketing would work for the North East.
"The beaches here are lovely, the house prices are lower, it's great for food and drink, culture and music. There's a lot of stuff that could be sold."
Anthony adds: "We don't have many massive organisations in this part of the world and we know that.
"But we have great beaches, a stable workforce and a reasonable cost of living."
There is definitely no shortage of sandy beaches in the region.
Whitley Bay and Tynemouth lie on the doorstep of Newcastle city centre, joining fellow Northumberland village beaches Bamburgh and Alnmouth just up the A1.
House prices in the job hubs of the North East are also far cheaper.
A search by Compelo finds it could rent a three-bedroom flat in Jesmond, a 15-minute walk from Newcastle city centre for £1,235 – £400 less than a one-bedroom flat in Clapham.
But what is there to draw business leaders and start-ups to the region?
The strength of its universities is a crucial element for Anthony – among them are two from the prestigious Russell Group in Newcastle and Durham.
There is also a industry culture in the North East that is a million miles away from the ultra-competitive capital.
Stewart adds: "Here the tech community is quite collective, quite collaborative – it's one of the strengths of the North East."

Earlier this week I took my hopefully rehabbed body out for some sea trials. My standard voyage is a straight shot from English Bay Beach to the Jericho Sailing Association, about 45 minutes of brisk paddling against the stiff breeze of the afternoon inflow. Since I was testing my recovery, I raised the sail and did a series of paddle-sailing broad tacks up either side of the wind, adding some distance and about twenty minutes to my crossing time, but reducing the load on my body to about half of paddling directly upwind.
One benefit of my enforced hiatus from kayaking was to experience paddling with refreshed appreciation. I reveled in the simple magic of being afloat, the gentle rocking of the boat, and the cheerful slap of wavelets against the hull as I cut through quartering seas.
The closest I've come to military service was a couple of undistinguished years in the Navy League Cadets. Still, I've always admired the unofficial mantra of the US Marine Corps: Adapt, Improvise, Overcome. In my own humble way, I've adopted this approach on my sea kayak expeditions, jury-rigging repairs to broken gear and revising routes as weather and endurance demand. It's also a good motto for dealing with ageing and injuries.

BPALC's speaker series offers more narrow-minded alarmism than intellectual inquiry
Griffin Perrault, Opinions Co-Editor
The stated purpose of the Bucknell Program for American Leadership and Citizenship (BPALC) is brief, auspicious and, above all, quite noble: "The Program […] focuses on developing thoughtful and informed civic leadership, exploring fundamental ideas in the pursuit of truth through higher education, to aid in developing informed citizens." Among the topics explored by BPALC include such innocuous matters as "the nature of civic and economic liberty, the proper relationship between government and civil society, [and] the proper role or roles of religion in public life…" This series of descriptions, available on the organization's blog page, is interspersed with illustrations by Giovanni dal Ponte and Raphael, along with a reproduction of the first page of the U.S. Constitution. Every aspect of the program's representation suggests a nonpartisan, independent group of civic-minded individuals committed to educating young students on tenets of national pride, duty and responsibility.
When the BPALC translates these goals into reality, however, one could reasonably observe that they are far more committed to large-"R" than small-"r" Republican virtue. This is most evident in the organization-sponsored speaker series on "Campus Politics and the Liberal Arts." The series ostensibly intends to debate questions surrounding "political correctness" and "free expression and due process rights on campus," two of the most salient bogeymen in recent conservative discourse. And yet far more damning than the intended purpose of the series are the speakers themselves. Despite the BPALC's consistent and unwavering jeremiads about the vital role of "viewpoint diversity" in academia, this years' speakers appear to present only one side of a particularly contentious issue; ironically, for a crowd so concerned about liberal indoctrination, that side seems overwhelmingly conservative.
While some of the presenters have explicitly identified themselves with the conservative cause — such as September's speaker Samuel Abrams of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank affiliated with such reactionary darlings as National Review editor Jonah Goldberg, former National Security Adviser John Bolton and former Vice President Dick Cheney — others have not been so quick to associate with an establishment party, comfortable to simply parrot reactionary pablum without the party label. April speaker Peter Boghossian, for instance, is notable for his 2017 "Grievance Studies" stunt where, along with James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose, Boghossian wrote over 20 fraudulent papers, seven of which were accepted and published in a variety of academic journals. The goal of the hoax was to underline the lack of academic standards in the so-called "Grievance Studies," such as race, sexuality and gender studies. Besides being the ultimate in punching down, Boghossian's hoax has been criticized by academics such as Carl Bergstrom as an "uninformative […] hollow exercise in mean-spirited mockery" and "woefully naive about how the [peer review] system works," while columnist Daniel Engber noted that "[o]ne could have run this sting on almost any empirical discipline and returned the same result." Recent speaker Allen Guelzo, who directed the "Lincoln at Gettysburg" talk weeks ago, is otherwise notable for his controversial assertion that "the Constitution was never proslavery," a claim repeatedly debunked by professors in a variety of academic fields. And during last year's "'60s at 50" symposium, "Triumph Forsaken: The Vietnam War, 1954-1965," author Mark Moyar insinuated that the Vietnam War, responsible for over 50,000 American deaths and nearly 10 times that on the Vietnamese end, was an overall necessary military maneuver to prevent the spread of communism.
Likely the most contentious of BPALC's speakers is the Manhattan Institute's Heather Mac Donald, author of racist screeds like "The Immigrant Solution: A Better Plan Than Today's" and "The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture," as well as the 2008 article "The Campus Rape Myth." The latter warns of a pernicious "campus rape industry" which at once promotes "dour antimale feminism […] and the promiscuous hookup culture of student life." Comparing recent Title IX oversight improvements to "Bentham's Panopticon," Mac Donald makes a bizarre and flimsy claim that rape services somehow undermine university duties to educate students, asking why "schools [are] offering workshops on orgasms and sex toys instead of on Michelangelo's Campidoglio or Pushkin's 'Eugene Onegin?'" The reality of the situation, of course, is that there is no such tradeoff, but Mac Donald appears to show a remarkable incapacity to think outside of absolutes and zero-sums; an improvement of safety and comprehensiveness must come at the expense of some nebulous traditional value. This extends to her recommendations regarding campus sexual assault; Mac Donald claims that intercourse, "an activity originating in inchoate desire, whose nuances have taxed the expressive powers of poets, artists, and philosophers for centuries," simply eludes the litigative power of campus risk-management; the subtext is, of course, that they should not even try.
The speakers of the BPALC series do not, in short, provide "various kinds of critical perspectives" on issues of campus politics, political correctness and sexual assault. In point of fact, these speakers seem to agree on the essential "facts" of the case: that leftists are utilizing tools of a "victimhood culture" — a term coined by December speaker Jason Manning — in order to suppress free speech and due process rights on campus; that liberal indoctrination has stymied the investigative potential of academia in order to conserve its own ideological underpinnings; that the draconian mandates of Title IX "produce a pacified, cowering citizenry," as March speaker Laura Kipnis puts it. The modalities of these opinions vary slightly, but they all tend to identify the same culprit: leftism in higher education. In reaching this stalwartly partisan conclusion, the speakers frequently stumble over even the most basic facts about the processes of peer review, rape crisis and other systems they have associated with this liberal encroachment. Theirs is not the thesis of a speaker series, or a program, which claims to value "diverse intellectual inquiry;" it is a statement of purpose for a clandestine group of reactionaries who want to launder partisan — even openly racist and sexist — opinions through perfunctory and unreliable research and openly dishonest inference from the same. It is also funded directly through the Office of the President.

You make Boghossian's point for him very well: you substitute a voice of alleged authority for actual argument or evidence. You write: '…columnist Daniel Engber noted that "[o]ne could have run this sting on almost any empirical discipline and returned the same result."'
In actual fact, this is false. Would a re-writing of Mein Kampf have made it into a Physics peer reviewed journal? Not even close.
False statements raised into canon and quoted as evidence. The whole point of the group's work. Thank you for such a fine demonstration.
Griffin Perrault on November 8th, 2019 9:20 am
Philip,
Mein Kampf is not a work of physics, and, so far as I am aware, makes no pretensions to be such. The process of peer review is intended to account for undue assumptions inferred from collected data — not to catch outright data fraud, which is what Boghossian and his cohorts engaged in for the "Grievance Studies" stunt. They utilized false "empirical" data, presented as original measurements collected by the researchers, to make their conclusions. One could have similarly published such false measurements in a biology or physics oriented peer-review journal, because outright lying about one's experiment and its results is not contemplated by peer review.

Q: C++ (and ROS) - Include vs. forward declare of reference with set default and typedef I have two very related questions regarding forward declarations, their advantages and difference with #includes. After reading on them it's still unclear to me if:

*

*using a ConstPtr from a ROS message (like this) counts as a pointer and can be (somehow) forward declared, or requires an #include;

*void foo(const Eigen::Vector3d& scale={0.001, 0.001, 0.001}); in a .h file would be fine with something like (but this doesn't actually compile)
namespace Eigen
{

class Vector3d;
}

at the top of the .h after all the other #includes or if I should use the proper header.
To be clear, the second issue is with the fact scale has a default value, which is actually the one I will always be using in the .cpp. This is the only instance where I'm using a Vector3d.
I'm also fairly certain if the forward declaration is enough I therefore would not need to include the proper header in the .cpp as well, since I'm only ever using the default value inside the method.

A: A forward declaration of X is sufficient to use an X* or X& as a function parameter or class member, because the full definition of a class is not needed to be able to use its address.
But in order to create an object of that class, even one with a default value, you're going to need its definition.

UFS casts its net wider for collaborative partner engagement
Ms Felicia Mabuza-Suttle and Mr Ndaba Ntsele
The office of Institutional Advancement at the University of the Free State hosted an event on 9 October 2015 in Johannesburg, to engage prospective partners and donors, to showcase its various projects and programmes, and to recognise existing donors for their contributions.
The event, titled "Revenge of the Caterpillar", prompted a discussion on the story of change at the University of the Free State, focusing on transformation as well as new ways of advancing a University amidst recent events.
The programme director, Mr Ndaba Ntsele, CEO and Director of Pamodzi Holdings and member of the UFS Council, introduced the Vice-Chancellor and Rector, Prof Jonathan Jansen, to the audience. Mr Ntsele expressed his deep respect and confidence in the Vice-Chancellor and his leadership of the university.
Professor Jansen launched his new book, Leading for Change: Race, intimacy, and leadership on divided university campuses, which offers theoretical grounds for thinking about, and transforming, leadership and higher education worldwide. In the context of his book, Prof Jansen discussed inter-racial relationships among students at the UFS and their experiences, which mirror race relations in the country among communities that have come out of a long history of oppression, such as slavery and apartheid.
Prof Jansen also spoke of the challenges that have surfaced nationally on racial symbols on university campuses. "At the UFS, we have dealt with issues concerning racial symbolism. It is important to lead in times of peace, in order to be able to lead in times of trouble," he said.
A robust discussion followed, on the way forward for transformation at institutions of higher education, and how this affects communities and the nation at large. The event was attended by representatives of donor and affiliate organisations of the UFS, such the Nedbank Group, The South African Holocaust and Genocide Foundation, and celebrity guests such as Gareth Cliff, Felicia Mabuza-Suttle and Leanne Manas.

Death rates
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's COVID claim denounced as racist

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas' lieutenant governor blamed rising hospitalization and death rates from COVID-19 on unvaccinated Black people — comments that were quickly denounced as racist.
Republican Lt. Governor Dan Patrick made the remarks Thursday night on a Fox News segment in response to question about the latest coronavirus surge in Texas. The state is seeing its highest hospitalization rates since January as the highly contagious delta variant spreads.
"The biggest group in most states are African Americans who have not been vaccinated," Patrick said.
Patrick did not change course Friday, saying "Democrat social media trolls" misstated facts and that he had used state data in his assertions. His office did not respond to a request for additional comments.
But statistics from the Texas Department of State Health Services don't back that. Black people — who make up about 12% of the more than 29 million people in Texas — accounted for about 15% of total COVID-19 cases and just more than 10% of deaths.
Patrick also told Fox News that Democrats were to blame for low vaccination rates among Black people, who frequently support that party, even though he believes Republicans should persuade more people to get their shots, too. But he also tiptoed around that issue, which has been sensitive for the GOP.
"But we respect the fact that if people don't want the vaccination, we're not going to force it on them," Patrick said. "That's their individual right."
City and county officials in Texas — many of whom are are in ongoing legal battles with state government over mask mandates — met Patrick with swift rebukes.
"The Lt. Governor's statements are offensive and should not be ignored," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, who is Black, said on Twitter.
Rodney Ellis, a Black commissioner for the county that encompasses Houston, tweeted that Patrick's comments were "racist and flat out wrong."
"It's disappointing that the Lt. Governor would rather scapegoat Black people than do the right thing and work with local government to help control the spread of COVID-19," Ellis wrote.
About 8% of the total number of people in Texas who have been fully vaccinated are Black, according to state data. It's unclear from state data what percentage of the African American population has been vaccinated.
Overall, 44% of Texans are fully vaccinated, less than the national rate of about 50%. COVID-19 is blamed for more than 50,000 deaths in the state, and more than 600,000 across the U.S.
Failures and abuses on behalf of government — including the "Tuskegee syphilis study," in which unsuspecting Black men were used as guinea pigs in a study of a sexually transmitted disease — have led to mistrust in public institutions for many African Americans.
Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas State NAACP Conference, said those historic disparities combined with the politicization of vaccines, misinformation and access to shots is the problem. Bledsoe said he was "shocked" by Patrick's comments.
"I am so concerned that he is going to give field to somebody to go out there and do something outrageous because they think someone in their community got infected by Black people. That is just not true," Bledsoe said. "Reach out beyond your political base, reach out to people of all the political persuasions in Texas, all the races and religions, and say, 'Let's come together,' because this is a major problem."
The seven-day rolling average of daily deaths from COVID-19 in Texas has risen over the past two weeks from 50.29 deaths per day on Aug. 4 to 115.14 deaths per day on Aug. 18, according to data from Johns Hopkins University Center.
This is not the first time that Patrick has been criticized for comments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an April 2020 appearance on Fox News, Patrick said the U.S. should get back to work in the face of the pandemic and that people over the age of 70, who the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says are at higher risk for severe illness from the coronavirus, will "take care of ourselves."

Amritsar: Amid heightened tension with Pakistan following yet another brazen terror attack on an army base, India is likely to step up efforts to corner it diplomatically and mobilize support for concrete action against state-sponsored terrorism at the two-day Heart of Asia (HoA) conference beginning here tomorrow.
Afghanistan, which has also been witnessing increased attacks from terror groups operating from Pakistani soil, is set to push hard for a regional counter-terror framework with binding commitment at the annual meeting of Heart of Asia Istanbul Process, a platform set up in 2011 to assist the war-battered country in its transition.
Top officials of the 14 member countries will meet tomorrow to discuss key challenges facing the region including from terror groups and explosre ways to bring lasting peace and stability to Afghanistan.
On Sunday, the main conference will be jointly inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani where both India and Afghanistan are likely to corner Pakistan on terror.
Pakistan Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz will represent Islamabad at the conference and all eyes will be on whether an Indo-Pak bilateral meeting takes place on the sidelines. Ahead of Aziz s visit here, India had yesterday said it will never accept continuing cross border terrorism as the "new normal" in bilateral ties with Pakistan while making it clear that talks cannot take place in an atmosphere of "continued terror".
India had called for isolating Pakistan diplomatically after the Uri attack on an army establishment and it is likely to continue efforts in that direction at the Heart of Asia conference. At the BRICS summit in Goa in October, India had called Pakistan the "mother ship" of terrorism globally.
Aziz is scheduled to arrive here on Sunday and is expected to return the same day. The entire holy city, which is not far from Indo-Pak border, has been decked up, while multiple layers of security have been put in place. Strong vigil is being kept along the Indo-Pak border in Punjab.
It was clear that dealing with terrorism will be a major focus at the conference as both India and Afghanistan earlier this week called terror emanating from Pakistan the "greatest threat" to regional peace and stability.
Afghanistan has been pushing for an effective counter- terror framework and the matter will be discussed at length at the conference being attended by representatives from over 30 countries including China, the US, Russia and Iran.

Museum of Film in Lodz
Moving image sanctuary in the photographic capital of Poland

Film Museum in Lodz
Among all the cities in Poland, Lodz is considered to be the one mostly connected to the art of film. Apart from the textiles industry and factories, the city has become famous thanks to the oldest and the best film school in the whole country. The Film School was founded in 1948 and ten years later it united with the Acting School simultaneously creating the National Film, Television and Theatre School. It made Lodz a center of the film and artistic life. Everyone wanted to study there.
The Film Museum in Lodz is the only institution of its kind in Poland, focusing on the film culture, art and technique. The Museum was founded in 1976, but it has been operating under the official name since 1986. The main building of the Museum is a palace that used to belong to the factory owner Karol Scheibler. The space was renovated and adapted for the exhibition purposes. There is also a working cinema. The activity of the Museum can be divided into three sections: exhibitions, events and the festival of the documentary films "Men in Danger" that takes place annually.

The main exhibitions are set in the Palace building. The first one includes the history of the film editing presented through its technical development. The display is prepared in a way so everyone could feel a little bit like an editor. Theoretical information is shred around the exhibition space and different technical inventions complement the knowledge. Each guest can watch "A Trip to the Moon" by Georges Méliès and even attend special lectures that could explain the basics in an easy way.
There is also an exhibition called "The Secrets of Film" referring to the two intriguing issues: the mystery of how the film set works and the miracle of the moving image. The first part focuses on technical development starting from the very early, now nearly prehistoric attempts to make the photographs move till modern days. It gathers the inventions of the pioneers, including the Polish inventor Kazimierz Proszynski who created the first camera called "the eye". Among the presented novelties there is a modern type of a blue box. There is also a whole section devoted to the famous magic lanterns (laterna magica) from the 19th and 20th century that served to project single images.

We particularly love their multimedia display introducing the visitors to the world of the silent cinema, the first films by Lumiere brothers and the still (!) very much working projector of the famous group Pathe from the beginning of the 20th Century. One of the most interesting "secrets" is a display of fotoplastikon, equal to cinematograph. The exhibition gives an opportunity to actually look inside such inventions.
There are also some surprises for children. On the top floor there is an animation kingdom. The display connects all main characters from the favorite Polish classic animated films. The space is adapted so each character has its own little room there, e.g. a famous dog Reksio has his own massive hut, where children could watch the films together with him. The exhibition combines screenings with interactive entertainment for the little ones.
Apart from exhibitions, the Museum is actively working in the cultural sector. It organizes events such as screenings and Q&A with established and emerging film directors, actors or cinematographers; art exhibitions, film history lectures for everyone, special screenings for children and even special screenings for dogs, when pets are allowed into the screening room with their owners.

Without a doubt the most important event that is annually taking place in the museum is a Media Festival "Man in Danger" focused on documentary films. The Festival has a long history connected to the city of Lodz and to the Museum. It also offers a unique chance to watch the festival selection for free.
Jakub Wiewiórski, the director of the Festival, shared with us the festival's history and mission.
"The beginning of the Media Festival "Man in Danger" reaches back to 1990 - the Festival is nearly as old as indepedent Poland. Simultaneously it's also one of the oldest documentary film festivals in the country. Apart from the casual screenings, it has a competition part. Artists can submit documentary films of any form or length, as long as they were produced the same year or one year before the edition of the festival they are submitting to."
Wiewiórski continues: "The Film Museum has become the host of the festival at it's 10th edition, since 2000. The main mission of the festival "Man in Danger" is to present the best Polish documentaries focused on the dangers that contemporary world needs to face. There is also a very careful selection of the documentary classics from Poland and abroad. The integral part of the festival are the meetings with the filmmakers. The directors always meet with the audience and answer their questions after screenings. The filmmakers whose films are qualified for the competition are competing for the White Cobra and some significant financial prizes. The jury usually consists of the renowned fellow filmmakers."
"Through the years, the topics of the films screened at the festival have been changing along with the dangers standing in front of the modern man. The "traditional", timeless problems such as alcoholism, anger, drugs have been joined by the new ones: workaholism, weakness of the social bonds, fear of the otherness, arguments about the history."
"Along with those there is also sickness of the current public debate, which is…the lack of it. The lack of openness on the counter arguments, which leads to people locking themselves in the glass bubble of the news, filtered and intensified by the social media. Thanks to the festival and the activities that go along with it, we urge the audience to have self-reflection."
"Our mission is to present the modern "Promised Lands" trying to touch on each of the aspects: economically, ideologically and psychologically. We want to popularize the idea of multi-cultures, tolerance and the understanding for the different ethnic, religious groups or simply for people with the different opinions."
"The documentary filmmakers treat this festival as their special celebration. Though, beside the directors the audience is the essence of this event. In my opinion the greatest power of the festival "Man in Danger" is its relaxed atmosphere that favors the great discussions and exchange of opinions."

Q: Envelope of a signal regarding shifts Assume I have a Ricker wavelet. I can compute the envelope of this wavelet as shown below:

This is the normal condition we usually see.
However, if I shift the Ricker wavelet to be wholly negative, and then I compute its envelope. A confusing phenomenon happens that the envelope looks like the opposite of the original wavelet:

Furthermore, if I shift the Ricker wavelet to be wholly positive, and compute its envelope. You can see the envelope is almost the same as the original wavelet:

Does anybody know the mathematical explanation behind these phenomena?
And how can we avoid the latter two cases? Remove the mean value of the wavelet to force it having zero mean?

A: I assume that you are working with Python with the Scipy module:
from scipy import signal
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
points = 100
a = 4.0
myricker = signal.ricker(points, a)

The envelope is typically computed as the absolute value of the analytic signal, which is the Hilbert transform of the original signal:
analytic_signal = signal.hilbert(myricker)
amplitude_envelope = np.abs(analytic_signal)

The analytic signal is a complex quantity.
In order to understand the behavior of envelope, try plotting its real and imaginary parts:
fig, ((ax1, ax2)) = plt.subplots(2, sharey=True)
fig.suptitle('')
ax1.plot(myricker, label='myricker')
ax1.plot(amplitude_envelope, label='envelope')
ax1.legend()
ax2.plot(np.real(analytic_signal), label='real')
ax2.plot(np.imag(analytic_signal), color='black', label='imaginary')
ax2.legend()

This is what you should get:

The real part of the analytic signal is identical to the original signal. The imaginary part is often referred to as the Hilbert transform itself.
Now if you shift your original ricker upwards by adding a small constant value (e.g. 0.2), the real part of the signal will be shifted accordingly, but the imaginary part will remain the same and therefore its contribution to the envelope will be smaller:

As you increase the shift, the contribution of the imaginary part to the envelope becomes smaller and smaller. Here for a shift of 1, it is so small that the envelope looks very close to the original ricker wavelet:


How do you support your people to step up into a manager's role and become responsible for leading a part of your organisation and business?
How did you handle the change from being a technical expert to becoming a leader of people in your business (overnight)?
People wake up every day to discover they are now not only accountable for their own actions but responsible for a group of people's behaviour and work output. This change causes mixed emotions: anxiety, enthusiasm, confusion and if mismanaged, it will cause nightmares 'overnight'!
Can you imagine being in Julia Gillard's shoes in June 2010? Whilst Julia had experience as Deputy Prime Minister and caretaker Prime Minister, her overnight appointment would be not too dissimilar to what you and I have experienced. Her immediate approach reads well: gather the right people around me, priorities what's important and urgent and communicate who I am and what we're doing. These three steps are among a list of strategies to quickly assert your leadership.
With over 25 years experience in leadership positions, coaching & mentoring other leaders and facilitating leadership programs, it's becoming blatantly obvious that we still don't prepare our leaders early enough in their career to lead others. Let's invest early in our people's career and mitigate the costly consequence of poor leadership and management.
Mentorship - for the individual who has previously lead people or is struggling to effectively lead in their role - available as three and six month assignments.


Sorry had to clear up some facts here guys.
The band are from the UK (Lincoln) not Canada. The art work is fake, the real cover is black (like death - Spinal Tap) white writting, the track listing is wrong are some of the track names.
The picture uploaded was not Sinful Kixx, it was Ratpack. Ratpack was formed when the bass player AJ left, (AJ's father funded Sinful Kixx) AJ wa replaced by Darren Lee (far left) Next to Darren is Skell (Gary Hunt) who played drums. Ian was the guitar player, and far right is Dean Foxx or his Sinful Kixx name DD Fox.
Sinful Kixx had some small fame on the 90's rock scene, Ratpack did not do much better, their highlight was supporting TigerTailz at Bradford Rio.
Gary and Ian left Ratpack and went on to do a covers band playing small pubs. Dean and Darren carried on with more drummers than Spinal Tap and a guitar player from Nottingham called Richie. After 2 year they split up.
As noted Dean sings in Knock Out Kaine and a Queen Tribute Band, Gary did play drums in both but left.

Sputtering metal into moulds is another route, so long at the resulting rough surface texture is not an issue.
Now Purdue is claiming both a smooth surface and sub-grain-sized detail from a technique called 'roll-to-roll laser-induced super-plasticity' enabling "the forming of smooth metallic circuits at the nano-scale using conventional carbon dioxide lasers, which are already common for industrial cutting and engraving".
The shock from a brief high-power laser pulse briefly induces 'super-elastic' behaviour in the metal, deforming it into the nano-scale features of a plastic mould, even at room temperature, independent of the original grain size.
"In the future, the roll-to-roll fabrication of devices using our technique could enable the creation of touch screens covered with nanostructures capable of interacting with light and generating 3D images, as well as the cost-effective fabrication of more sensitive biosensors," said Purdue engineer Ramses Martinez.
According to the paper 'Roll-to-roll nanoforming of netals using laser-lnduced superplasticity', published in NanoLetters, gold plasmonic structures with aspect ratios as high as five were formed, that exhibited strong optical field enhancements.


On Sunday, February 12th, The Stardust-Startup Factory held its first meet-up; what an amazing gathering of our community! The 35 attendees included Advisory Board and Board of Directors members in addition to a micro-grant recipient, NOVA Community College Honors Program faculty and interns, and Stardust inner circle friends and family.
After an hour of informal "meet and greet", we gathered for the screening of our new video 'We Are Stardust". This was followed by an engaging presentation by NOVA Honors Program Director Dr. Paul Fitzgerald and NOVA/Stardust intern Katya Naiman who joined us via video call from Toronto.
Melissa LaReau, founder of Discover Unfold, gave a presentation to the group about the micro-grant application process and how Stardust support is helping Unfold in Uganda. We concluded with an hour of brainstorming activities to revisit and to clarify Stardust's mission and vision, starting with why we do what we do rather than the what or how.

A gallery exhibition of highly interactive art from around the world will be a special feature of SIGGRAPH 2016, taking place July 24-28 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California and taglined "Render the Possibilities." This year's Art Gallery, "Data Materialities," represents a unique collection of 10 installations created between 2003-2016.
"We have made a special effort to bring back large-scale, highly immersive displays for the ArtGallery. Our title, 'Data Materialities,' illustrates the fact that in 2016, we are all constantly surrounded by networks, information, and data," said SIGGRAPH 2016 Art Gallery Chair Jonah Brucker-Cohen.
A large, immersive, walkthrough experience that uses up to 8,064 individual points of suspended light to create feelings of presence and movement within physical space. This video from YouTube user Nick Hunter shows the installation at the Geneva Mapping Festival.
A new kind of display in which pixels are represented as small colorful mobile robots called "Pixelbots," which create cartoon-like images or animations. Pixelbots can be seen on the Disney Research YouTube channel, where they present a "Story of the Universe" animation, including a fish, a dinosaur, and a human.
An installation investigating how art, technology, and playfulness can create new systems of communication by materializing data through kinetic interaction – and offer people new ways of connecting with each other in public spaces. Two beautiful swings light up and display people's social media messages on screens, encouraging participants to connect while they play.
A playful, interactive installation with roots in both the famous TV game show "The Price Is Right" and experimental blackout poetry. Every player can be both a winner and a poet. Drawing source text from current @nytimes and @FoxNews tweets, players can absurdly re-contextualize news headlines that are often overloaded with meaning.


The minority party could refuse to support moving forward with upcoming legislation, including a spending bill needed to keep the government open past Sept. 30, unless Republicans push off Kavanaugh's hearing, George Washington University Professor Sarah Binder said. That would cause the government to shut down, however. And it could end up backfiring on Democrats, said Binder, an expert on Congress and legislative politics.
A number of Democrats in the chamber are facing tough reelection battles in Republican-leaning states like Indiana, West Virginia and North Dakota this fall, she pointed out. They want to be home campaigning as much as possible, not staying in Washington in October battling over a Supreme Court nominee.
Moderate voters, meanwhile, may not take kindly to a Democrat-caused shut down in the fight over Kavanaugh's nomination, risking red-state Democrats' reelection chances. "The danger is you win the battle against Kavanaugh," by delaying his confirmation, "but then you lose the broader war, because you're less likely to win control of the Senate," Binder explained.
De León, however, told The Sacramento Bee that Senate Democrats "have no other choice, because these are lifetime appointments with life-altering consequences." In particular, liberal activists fear Kavanaugh could shift the balance of power on the court against legal abortion and Obamacare regulations, among other policies.
"They need to use every parliamentary procedure imaginable to slow down the Senate and push this vote as far as they can in the future," he said.
De León said Feinstein is to blame, moreover, for the fact that Kavanaugh is even being considered for the Supreme Court. She "opened the door," he said, noting that Feinstein was one of 12 Democratic senators who voted to allow the Senate to debate Kavanaugh's 2006 nomination to the Washington, D.C. Court of Appeals, a traditional stepping stone to the Supreme Court. Another Democrat who did so: Then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
Thirty Democrats, however, voted against allowing debate to go forward, including fellow California Sen. Barbara Boxer and the current Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer.
The vote effectively prevented Democrats from filibustering Kavanaugh's confirmation to the circuit court. The Senate later approved his nomination by a narrower margin. Feinstein voted "no" on Kavanaugh's confirmation.
The Senate has since scrapped the filibuster for judicial nominations, giving Democrats very few tools to block Kavanaugh's confirmation on their own. They will need at least one of the 51 Republicans in the chamber to vote "no," as well as all 49 Democrats. De León suggests Feinstein is wasting her time demanding records from Kavanaugh's past from the National Archives and Bush attorneys, and is calling on the senator to focus instead on swaying her colleagues to oppose the nomination.
"Knowing how he interacted with those pieces of policy is really critical to considering his nomination," said Beth Lynk, Associate Director of Federal Communications at Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which has endorsed Feinstein's reelection campaign.
That information could, in theory, help convince two Republican senators who support abortion rights — Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — to oppose Kavanaugh, thereby blocking his nomination.
Binder said that "what Feinstein's doing makes a lot of sense," as part of a broader effort to convince senators to vote "no." But she cautioned that liberals shouldn't get their hopes up. It remains "an uphill battle for Democrats to block a Republican Senate from confirming Kavanaugh," she said.
Should Democrats even bother to fight Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination?


From Broadway babe and Jonas bro, to major film and TV star, Nick Jonas has extended his wide-ranging talents into various fields of entertainment and these days shows no signs of slowing down.
This fall, he'll next tackle life as a "fraternity dude" in the anticipated Fox series Scream Queens. While co-creator Ryan Murphy enlisted both Nick and fellow songbird Ariana Grande to round out the all-star cast, don't expect the pair to pull a Glee and break out into song.
"This project is solely acting. None of us are singing," he told ETonline. But while the two will not be lending their killer singing voices on the show, that doesn't completely rule out a future collaboration.
"We wrote a bunch of songs a couple years ago when she first started making her record," he revealed. "We wrote together then and had a great time writing."
He later added, "Maybe there's a collaboration somewhere down the road."
The thought of those two teaming up together on a song blows our minds, as would a Jonas Brothers reunion. But Nick explained, that's just not in the cards for now.
"I'm happy to be doing my own thing," the 22-year-old singer admitted. "We're all kind of happy to be doing our own thing."
Nick and his brothers decided to disband as a group back in 2013 -- a decision they still stand by. "We chose being a family first and not a band," he added. "Tough decision but it was the right thing for all of us."
The "Jealous" singer has plenty to keep him busy these days. In addition to Scream Queens, he is currently shooting season two of the MMA fighting drama Kingdom and will kick-off the Nick Jonas "Live in Concert" tour in Pennsylvania this September.
"It's been a great year and a half between the music and the acting -- I'm just ready to get out there and play for [the fans] and have some fun," he said.
And if that wasn't enough, he can now add part record label owner to his growing resume. Just last month, he announced the launch of Safehouse Records, a joint venture with friend and fellow ex-Disney star Demi Lovato and manager Phil McIntyre.
"We felt like it was time for us to set up our own thing and secure that we could create freely and in a safe environment," he said of the artist-centric label.
Nick will release new music via the venture, which will sign artists who will also become part owners.
You can catch Nick on Scream Queens when it premieres Sept. 22 on Fox. To watch him on tour this fall click here.

Character backgroundEdit
Grandmama Addams is an aged witch who concocts potions and spells, and dabbles in fortune telling and knife throwing. She is the grandmother of the Addams children, Pugsley and Wednesday, although her relationship to the other family members is less consistent. Grandmama first appeared along with the then-unnamed Addams family in Charles Addams' original cartoons published in The New Yorker, in which she was regularly illustrated with shoulder-length frizzy hair and a fringed shawl.[1] Addams described Grandmama in a 1963 character synopsis as "a disrespectful old hag" and "foolishly good-natured ... a weak character [who] is easily led."[1]
In Charles Addams' original The New Yorker cartoon strips, the character was referred to as Grandma Frump,[2] therefore making her Morticia's mother. For the original television series — as well as The New Addams Family, in which she is named Eudora Addams — her relationship to the family is retconned and she becomes Gomez's mother. However, both the feature films and animated television series conform to Charles Addams' original concept of Grandmama as Wednesday's and Pugsley's maternal grandmother. In the first film, Morticia and Fester discuss how "Mother and Father Addams" were killed by an angry mob, removing any possibility that Grandmama could be Gomez and Fester's mother. In the third film, in which she is named Esmeralda, she is again implied to come from Morticia's family. The character is simply referred to as Granny in the two animated series. In the 1992 series, Grandmama is of Morticia's family, when she introduces herself with the line "the name's Granny Frump".[3]
In the Broadway musical The Addams Family, Morticia refers to Grandmama as Gomez and Uncle Fester's mother, to which Gomez reacts with surprise and says that he thought she was Morticia's mother; Morticia later says that Grandmama "may not even be part of this family".
AppearancesEdit
Television and filmEdit
The character was named "Grandmama" for the 1960s television series in order to avoid confusion with Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies.[4] She was played by Blossom Rock, who won the role over actresses such as Minerva Urecal and Marjorie Bennett,[5] while Alice Pearce had been rejected after the producers deemed her too young for the part.[6] She is depicted as being good friends with Morticia's mother Granny Frump (portrayed by Margaret Hamilton).
Due to illness, Rock was the one regular cast member from the show who did not return for the 1977 reunion film Halloween with the New Addams Family, and she was replaced as Grandmama by Jane Rose.[7]
The character was played by Betty Phillips in the 1998-99 television series The New Addams Family.
Janet Waldo voiced Grandmama in the 1973 animated series, and Carol Channing provided the character's voice for the 1992 animated series.
Bette Midler voiced the character in the 2019 computer-animated film. She is shown to be Gomez's and Fester's mother, with Morticia's parents having died years ago. Grandmama is also revealed to have a dwarfish sister named Sloom (voiced by Jenifer Lewis) who oversees Pugsley's Mazurka.
Three different actresses played Grandmama in the three Addams Family feature films. Judith Malina appeared in the 1991 film The Addams Family, and was replaced by Carol Kane for the 1993 sequel Addams Family Values. For the 1998 direct-to-video picture Addams Family Reunion, Grandmama was played by Alice Ghostley.
In other mediaEdit
In the 1989 Nintendo Entertainment System game Fester's Quest, the instruction booklet says Grandmama's psychic powers foretold the alien invasion that would come and abduct all the people in the city, so she invokes a curse on the family mansion. As a result, when extraterrestrial scouts scan the Addams residence for life forms they find none, thanks to Grandmama's curse.
Grandmama was played by Jackie Hoffman in the 2010 Broadway musical, in which her relation to the family in the storyline is ambiguous.
