I really enjoyed your installation of 3D Mapping. I attended the Mapping Festival in Geneva this year. I was hoping to see some installations like yours. Is the software you use, software that you have developed personally.
Have you experimented much with spherical shapes?


You can climb mountains in search of wildness and yet find it in the most ordinary of places. Rinville is a typical park of woods and meadow near Oranmore, east of Galway city. When I first came here as a teenager the richness of the forest hooked me. The trampling of human feet made most suburban woodlands I knew barren, but here the understorey was thick with life.
The wild places we explore as kids dig themselves into our memories – their sights and smells never leave us, and it only takes the slightest sensory trigger to send us right back.
This place has changed little through the years. I went back in mid-May, when the forest floor was dense with the bloom of wild garlic. Glance quickly and you think the ground is covered in snow – only the bluebells poking through the whiteness give the game away.
The woods here are small, but big enough to feel pleasantly lost in – you can look in all directions and see nothing but sycamores. There's plenty of beech, horse chestnut and ash too. On our island of few trees, this is the kind of place that reminds you what a wood is supposed to look like.
The evening was humid, the air thick with the scent of garlic, and when a heavy shower fell it seemed as if the forest was steaming. Swallows fed acrobatically in the meadows, and the call of the cuckoo was a constant presence.
Walking the dogs here once years ago, a fox cub came ambling up the trail towards me, its head down, sniffing intensely. It was just yards away from the dogs when it finally looked up, realised the gravity of its navigational error and dashed into the undergrowth, the dogs chasing after it in vain. There are otters in the pond and streams here too apparently, though I've yet to see one.
The park's trails bring you to Rinville Castle, a 16th century tower house, and to Rinville Hall, a ruined Georgian manor. South across a narrow inlet of Galway Bay is the commanding facade of Ardfry House. Over the centuries these properties were variously owned by wealthy Galway families such as the Blakes, Athys and Lynchs.
It's one our landscape's great contradictions that, although our landed estates are symbols of gross inequality, they have given us some of our finest public spaces and nature reserves, partly because their owners could afford not to work all their land to the bone.
Once you've walked the park, head down to the sailing club and follow the track that heads out above the rocky shore towards Rinville Point. Here I watched a cormorant diving in the shallows, and an irritated heron fly up and down the strand trying to avoid walkers.
Outside the forest the scent of gorse floated through the air, and the sky was chaotic. To the west clouds edged slowly forward like glaciers, the sun slicing through in horizontal planes. But to the east a tremendous blue-grey wall of cloud obscured everything, and turned the sea the same colour.
Soon this monolithic cloud was over me, then it started emptying its waterload. Near Rinville Point, I turned around and faced into the long, wet walk back to the car park.

US, Taliban Talks A Major Diplomatic Victory: Pakistan's FM
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Sunday said last week's talks between the United States and the Taliban was a "major diplomatic victory".
This came after six days of talks between the US and Taliban – talks that were originally scheduled for only two days.
The US team was led by US Special Envoy for Peace and Reconciliation in Afghanistan.
Addressing the media in Pakistan on Sunday, Qureshi welcomed the development and said Pakistan had played a key role in bringing the two sides together.
"Pakistan played a vital role in bringing the US and the Taliban to the negotiation table," he said.
He said Pakistan was concerned about peace in the region, not money.
"We had decided to move forward with peace. The world has accepted Pakistan's stance on the peace process."
He also stated peace in the region was not possible without dialogue.
"Pakistan has pursued a regional outlook by reaching out to different countries and advocating its resolve for a stable and peaceful region."
This comes after the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hailed what he called "significant progress" made by Khalilzad.
"Encouraging news from [Khalilzad]," Pompeo wrote on his Twitter page.
"The US is serious about pursuing peace, preventing Afghanistan from continuing to be a space for international terrorism and bringing forces home. Working with the Afghan govt and all interested parties, the US seeks to strengthen Afghan sovereignty, independence and prosperity," Pompeo tweeted.
Pompeo's optimistic remarks come after Khalilzad said progress had been made in six days of discussions with the Taliban in Qatar.
He cautioned on Twitter that no deal had been finalized with the militants, but he said further talks would resume shortly.
He also said that he was flying back to Afghanistan to discuss the talks.
"Meetings here were more productive than they have been in the past. We have made significant progress on vital issues," Khalilzad said in a tweet.
"We have a number of issues left to work out," he said, while adding that "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and 'everything' must include an intra-Afghan dialogue and comprehensive ceasefire.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that while there was "progress" at the meetings, reports of an agreement on a ceasefire and talks with Kabul "are not true."
"Since issues are of critical nature and need comprehensive discussions, therefore it was decided that talks about unresolved matters will resume in similar future meetings," Mujahid said.
Qureshi welcomed the development, said Pakistan had played a key role in bringing the two sides together.

Interview with… Katy Lipson
AuthorEmma ClarendonPosted on November 27, 2018 November 27, 2018 CategoriesInterviews, Musicals, UncategorizedTagsEmma Clarendon, Katy Lipson, Southwark Playhouse
Love London Love Culture's Emma Clarendon chatted to Aria Entertainment's Katy Lipson about bringing Aspects of Love to London following its successful run at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester.
What was it about Aspects of Love that made you want to bring it back to the stage? I have always been in love with the score of Aspects Of Love ever since my Grandfather used to sing it to me as a child. It has always held a special place in my heart. I was drawn to the melodies and so when an opportunity came to choose it as our August production it felt perfect.
For London audiences who are waiting to experience this production – what can they expect from it? It's a beautiful, boutique version of this musical; it's full of passion, drama and sincerity. It has a smaller orchestration so the drama can be focused on in the performances. It feels like an Aspects Of Love for a modern generation.
Have you a favourite moment in the show? It has to be Kelly Price who plays Rose's final song; it's an incredibly strong performance with fragility at the same time and you are gripped. It's such an honest moment.
Were there any challenges in reviving Aspects of Love for this production? It's always a challenge tackling any large musical in an unsubsidised fringe theatre! Everyone wants more money for their department and we all want it to be produced to the highest quality so it's always managing the pots of money ensuring it can be realised to its fullest potential.
What would you say makes Jonathan O'Boyle's revival so special? The way the elements have come together is just beautiful; it's simplicity is its strength; producing it in a small space allows you to focus on the performances and the way the set is used to help indicate locations and time passing feels seamless.
Are there any other musicals you would particularly love to revive in the future? There are many but that would be giving up my 2019, 2020 and 2021 programme already!
It seems you have had a pretty busy 2018 – what is in store for you in 2019? We have three shows at Hope Mill Theatre to reveal very soon as well as a National Tour of our second Hope Mill Theatre show, HAIR! We have Aspects of Love and then we have three other undisclosed projects happening in London. We are developing three musical commissions as well as finding a future and continuing to work on four more!
Aspects of Love will play at the Southwark Playhouse from the 7th January until the 9th February 2019. For more information visit: https://southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/show/aspects-of-love/

MY FIRST TRIP TO SEA, Part One
by Gordon Sollors
Gordon, age 15
On Monday, the 16th of March 1942, I signed on the Orient line ship S.S. Orion, - called by some in those days, H.M.T. Orion -- H.M.T. meaning His Majestys Transport. I signed on as a Deck Boy (Bugler). I was paid £4-0-0 a month for being a Deck Boy, plus £4-0-0 per month War Risk money, and 10/- per month for playing the bugle. Making a total of £8-10-0 per month. Despite the war, the Orient Steam Navigation Company wanted a bugler for their ship, R.M.S. (Royal Mail Steamer) "Orion" which was a large passenger ship of some 23,000 tons, and was being used by the Ministry of War Transport to ferry troops to the various theatres of war, as were all British passenger ships in those days.
My journey really started in Portishead, Somerset, U.K. where I was in a sea training school. Friday, the 13th of March, was like any other cold and blustery March day in England. The Commander of the sea school told me that the Orient Line wanted a bugle boy for one of their ships. Did I still want to go to sea? Did I ever! Just try me! I was fourteen years and seven months old, and not the least bit superstitious, - well, not to the outside world any how! Despite the baleful portent of the date, and the nature of the job I was going to, I was over the moon at the prospect of finally "growing up". I would be able to wear long trousers, I would be able to smoke, (not legally, but in practice.) I would have my own money to spend, I would be able to go to the pictures if I wished, even buy myself a penknife and a Ronson lighter! All this without even the faintest idea of how much money I was going to earn. Like millions of other kids throughout the ages that have been, or are just about to be launched into an unsuspecting world, I was invincible!
On Saturday the fourteenth of March, after being fare welled by friends and various members of staff, I left school, and went to work! I was wearing the sailor's fore and aft uniform of the school. I had been kitted out with some overalls, and some 'civvie' clothes - which I intended to get into at the first opportunity! As I walked up the driveway to catch the 7AM bus from the school to the station, I could hear for the last time, the strains of "reveille" sounding throughout the school. By the time "Last Post" sounded that night, I would be well on my journey.
At the station, I tendered the document I had been given at the school, in exchange for a single ticket to Paddington, via Bristol. I had made my first "adult" transaction! I was feeling more mature already!
The time was 7.30 AM or so on Saturday, March 14, 1942. I climbed into an empty carriage. (Being an 'end of line' station, the train was waiting at the station to start it's journey.) From memory, the journey to Bristol took about three quarters of an hour. I sat waiting for the train to start. The door opened, and to my dismay, an elderly man got in. I had been hoping to have the carriage to myself. Not knowing what to say, (or, indeed if I should say anything at all,) I sat looking out of the window. The train finally, and with a little shudder, started on it's way to Bristol.
Being the only people in the carriage, it was almost inevitable that we should at least pass the time of day. It wasn't long before he asked me where I was going. The information that I was that very day, embarking on a career at sea as a Deck Boy in the Merchant Navy, brought forth the response
"It's a bloody 'ard life son."
It was the final comment of our brief conversation. I really didn't know how to respond to such a cryptic, and to me, such a deflating statement, so I said nothing. He didn't say it with any bitterness, but his comment was enough to dampen much of the enthusiasm I had felt until then about what lay ahead for me. Years of training required me not to answer back, nor to express the disappointment I felt in the face of his prophecy. After all I told myself, what did he know of life at sea today? He was an old man, and if he had been to sea, he probably sailed in windjammers. Things were much different these days weren't they? I was pleased when he left the train at Pill.
As it turned out my early experiences at sea though not all plain sailing, were not all bad. Fortunately for me, despite the fact that there was a war on, all of my unhappy experiences were brought about by the bullying of those types of older crew members who seemed to take a perverse pleasure at making life difficult for their juniors, rather than by enemy action. Life at sea can be hard, but so can life in general.
The train steamed on, parallel now to the muddy banks of the River Avon.
Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the most famous designs of British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859). This photo is from the Clifton Suspension Bridge Website.
As we entered the picturesque Avon Gorge, the cliffs towered over the carriages, and Brunel's historic, and impressive suspension bridge appeared overhead, silhouetted against the early morning sunlight.
Only a few months before, I and another one hundred and fifty boys, had packed ourselves into the back of several covered lorries, and had crossed the bridge on our way to the Bristol Zoo. We had been excited at the prospect of a day of comparative freedom to roam at will amongst the other visitors to the Zoo. To see Alfie the ape, and Rosie the elephant. In those days life was relatively simple. For us boys, it was also confined and structured by one's immediate circumstances, not to mention the war which also placed endless restrictions upon the populace in general. Everything we did, if within the precincts of the school, was done to a rigid time table. On occasions such as this, (visit to the zoo), most of our movements were pre packaged, but with a degree of relaxation which allowed us to visit which ever part of the zoo we wanted to. Even so, the day at the zoo had been a special day, one to be enjoyed and relished.
Now, as the train slowly made its way along the Gorge, and under the bridge, I sat thinking of all the constraints which had governed my every move prior to today, making mental notes of how I imagined my new life would be now that I was free of those constraints. First thing in Bristol, I would buy myself a packet of cigarettes and a box of matches. It was probably at this juncture that I made a further mental note that eventually, I would buy myself a penknife, and a cigarette lighter, - one of those flashy Ronson lighters I had seen film stars using in the pictures. I had no idea of how much such a cigarette lighter might cost - nor even of how much money I would be earning as a Deck Boy - such mundane considerations were the least of my worries at that particular moment. I further resolved that I would go to the pictures, stay up late, even have a large ice cream or a cream cake in a cafe! I was thinking like a fourteen year old who really had very little, or no idea of how he was going to convert from a very sheltered and structured school routine to a life where he was about to assume responsibility for his own actions and general welfare. At that moment, the sky was the limit; reality was yet to come!
Temple Meads Station is another of Brunel's masterpieces.
This photo is from Bristol Business News Online Website.
With the train still traversing the banks of the Avon, I found myself marvelling at the small amount of water left at low tide, and wondering whether or not ships were ever left stranded on the mud as a result of a breakdown or other mishap. If they did get caught on the mud, did they sit upright? Or did they fall over on one side? Idle thoughts were almost a luxury, such was the state of my mind that morning. The idle thoughts did not stay for long. The train steamed into Bristol Temple Meads Station and I alighted. I remember little of my stay at Temple Meads, whether or not I actually bought the much dreamed of packet of cigarettes, nor even of my journey from Bristol to London.
I arrived at Paddington Station, London, at about ten or eleven AM, where I was met by a certain Captain Mooney of the Orient Line. I had never been to London before, and even arriving there was exciting to me. We went straight down to the Underground, and he bought tickets for us to Aldgate East. The underground itself was a vivid experience. As we passed through several stations, I could see bunk beds erected along the walls. I remembered the "blitz" we had heard so much about, and realised that sleeping in the tube stations had become a way of life for thousands of Londoners due to the continual bombing. The windows of the train coaches were covered with some mesh type material which I presume was to stop broken glass from flying everywhere should the glass be broken as the result of a blast from a bomb. There were horizontal diamonds cut into the mesh at strategic spots, so that passengers could read the names of stations as we passed through.
At Aldgate East, we walked down Leman St, into Dock Street, and into the Merchant Navy Reserve Pool where Captain Mooney spoke to the man behind the counter. I was immediately given some ration coupons, - "Give them in at the desk in the Sailor's Home opposite," I was told. I was given two day's pay, - and I hadn't done a stroke of work yet! I was given a voucher for one night's accommodation plus meals at the Sailor's Home opposite, and a Railway voucher for my ticket to Glasgow the next evening. Mr. Mooney then took me over the road to the Sailor's home. He introduced me to a clerk behind the reception counter, and left me with a cheery "Best of luck, Gordon", a handshake, and he was gone! I was finally, 'My Own Man!' Or was I?
Here came my first embarrassing moment! No sooner had I booked into the Sailors Home in Dock Street, than the Chaplain collared me and asked if I would be going to Holy Communion in the morning? I was too overwhelmed to tell him my true feelings, and said "Yes of course Chaplain!" trying as hard as I could to make it sound like "Doesn't everyone?" As you might have guessed, until that very moment, Communion (other than with a packet of fags, my lunch, and the cinema - probably in that order), had been absolutely the last thing on my mind. After booking in, I went straight to my "room" - a tiny box like compartment right on the top floor with just enough room for a bed, a chest of drawers, and (fortunately for me as I later discovered, a mirror!)
I knew that if I was going to have to go to Communion in the morning, (it didn't occur to me not to go, having said that I would!) I would have to dress properly, and to do that, I would have to practice tying my tie, - this was one knot (among many) they had not taught me at the sea school! To my horror, when I took out the shirts they had given me, I discovered they were truly early 20th century vintage, with separate collars, (2 per shirt), with studs for the back and front, and double cuffs, that would require cuff links! I don't think the school's bounty had extended to such sartorial luxuries as cuff links. As it turned out, cufflinks were to be the least of my worries. I knew that items of clothing such as shirts with separate collars existed, but it all looked too academic for me! I thought that I would have to get back from the pictures early, (I was determined to go), work it all out with the shirts, collars and studs, and have a "practice run" before I went to bed. Little did I know!
I returned to my "room" at about nine-thirty, (pictures were continuous in those days, and having sat through a rather boring film twice to "get my monies worth", I left). I struggled with those studs and collars until well after midnight. I had by this time discovered little tabs on the front of the collar which had to be fixed to the stud under the tie. By one AM I still had not tied the tie successfully, and my fingers were sore trying to get the stud through the little tabs. I went to sleep exhausted.
My determined - but unsuccessful - efforts had their reward. I didn't wake up until eight thirty AM. I had no watch, but some built in second sense (probably guilt!) told me that this was much too late for Communion - and almost for breakfast! I had my breakfast, and walked up the road (needless to say, sans collar and tie!) to Middlesex Street, better known as "Petticoat Lane". This was where I encountered "Market Forces" at work for the first time! My lasting impression of Petticoat Lane was the cheery (and optimistic) disposition of the vendors there. One such vendor, carrying a rather heavy looking tripod, on the top of which was a rather large camera constructed of polished wood and brass - the sort that, in those days, carried a small tin of liquid strapped to one of the legs in which the operator would give your picture a final wash - approached me with the request, "'Ave yer foter taken Guvner, - ass if yer not too prahd" Well, I wasn't "too prahd" by any means. In reality, and despite the fact that I didn't know how much he would charge, I just didn't have the cash to spare, and a photograph was not one of my priorities! In fact, looking back, I wish now that I had acceded to his request! The photographs produced by this method were usually on a piece of tin, I would give anything now for a picture of me at that time. I think I must have been afraid to ask "How much?" and I was afraid of entering into something that I was not sure of. Certainly embarrassed, and almost apologetically, I refused.
I spent the rest of the morning walking round the area, marvelling at life in the city, and looking at some of the bombsites. Some of them had been boarded up to keep people out of them, on others, huge balks of timber were wedged up to the sides of buildings which seemed in danger of falling down. At lunchtime, I made my way back to the Sailor's Home for my midday meal. I remember a person in there was playing the piano in a most professional manner. I wondered whether or not he was a seaman. Although the menu was fairly limited, I remember enjoying the experience of choosing what I wanted instead of having to eat what was put on my plate. The same went for the evening meal.
That night, I and some other prospective crew members for the SS Orion left the Sailor's Home in Dock Street London in taxis for Euston Station. We were to travel overnight to Glasgow, (that section of the railways was still called the "L.M.S." - London Midland and Scottish - line in those days.) Having arrived early at Euston for the train, we all had seats in the same carriage. We travelled in complete darkness so it was not possible to know where abouts we were. Not that it mattered much, most of us slept for some of the journey.
During the journey, I was introduced to a glimpse of the wages and "pecking order" amongst the Deck Department in the fo'c's'le on board Merchant Ships. It all started when one of the crew members said that as a "Sailor", he hoped to be getting an increase in pay this trip. Strange, I thought "we" were all sailors weren't we? Not so!
It also transpired that a pay increase had recently been given to Britain's Merchant Seamen, and it was just bout to come into effect. It may be appropriate at this point to record what the rates of pay for seamen were at that time. Starting with the lowly Deck Boy, after the latest increases, he would receive £4-0-0 per month, with £4-0-0 per month "War Risk Money", giving a total of £8-0-0 per month. Rates of overtime were 1/- per hour in port, and 9d per hour at sea. In my case, I was to be paid an extra 10/- per month for being the Bugle Boy, giving me the grand total of £8-10-0 per month. This (£4-0-0 per week) was to be the new rate. I was told later that the old rate had been £3-17-6 per week. As I listened to the conversation, I (who - as a second class boy in the school ) - was used to being paid 4d per week!) thought to myself "unheard of wealth", I could hardly contain myself! I would be able to buy all those things I had only hitherto dreamed of!
After one year on articles - this does not include time in-between ships, a Deck Boy could then apply to the Superintendent at a Shipping Federation Office, or if he was already a crew member of a particular ship, he could ask the Captain (usually through the bo'sun and Chief Officer) if he would sign him on next trip as an Ordinary Seaman. If he was successful, he would then be paid £7-10-0 per month, with £10-0-0 per month War Risk Money. Rates of overtime were unchanged. After one year as an Ordinary Seaman, he could then apply through the same channels for the rating of Senior Ordinary Seaman. This would give him a wage of £10-0-0 per month, plus £10-0-0 per month War Risk Money. After a further six months, he could then apply for the rating of Sailor. At that time, the rank of Sailor was a sort of "staging post" between Senior Ordinary Seaman, and the top rank of AB (Able Seaman) . It is my understanding that the new rates of pay would give existing Sailors the same rates of pay as an AB. An AB was paid £14-0-0 per month with £10-0-0 per month War Risk Money. His overtime rate was 2/6 per hour. I'm not sure whether that was at sea, or in port, but I would imagine the latter. In the future any new aspirants to the rank of Sailor would have to qualify by sitting for an EDH (Efficient Deck Hand) ticket, and would be known as, and sign on as, an EDH.
The Shipping Federation conducted the EDH courses in most major ports. From memory, (I acquired my own EDH ticket in August 1945.) the applicant attended classes in basic seamanship for about two weeks. This was not so much to teach him these basic skills, it was more to make sure that over his preceding time at sea, he had reached an adequate level of competence in them. At this stage in his career, among other things, the applicant was expected to know about knots and splices, and which knots were used under which circumstances. He was expected know about hatch work, and how to safely raise and lower cargo derricks. Especially, he was expected to know how to launch lifeboats from a variety of davits, and how they should be "swung out" and secured as soon as a ship put to sea. He was to be able to competently "box" the compass, and know how to use and read, a lead line for sounding the depth of water. There were many other subjects, in all of which the applicant was expected to be reasonably competent.
At the end of the course, the successful applicants would be given a Certificate of Competence, which would entitle them to sign on as an EDH, and be paid the full rate of an AB. Only when he had completed three full years on articles, could a seaman apply to the Superintendent at any Shipping Office to have his book stamped with the coveted rank of Able Seaman (AB). This meant that including time in between ships when one was not on articles, the total time could often be up to three years and six months - as it was in my own case. I felt quite mature as a result of being allowed to "sit in" on this conversation.

How to start streaming on Facebook
Facebook is now the third most popular app for streaming content — behind YouTube and Twitch — with more than 200 million people accessing Facebook daily to watch and discuss videos.
With this usage, it's no surprise that brands, creators and vloggers are all joining the Facebook streaming party. As a result, there are now more ways than ever to stream on Facebook. However, if you're new to streaming on the platform or simply want an insider's view into how it works, this article has everything you need to know about streaming on Facebook as a creator.
How to Stream on Facebook: Step by step guide
Broadcast on Facebook
Broadcasting on Facebook From a Personal Profile
Facebook Live Events
Watch and TV Shows
Facebook Video
Facebook Live Q&A
Live is the most basic form of streaming on Facebook, but it's also the most used. When you go to "Go Live" in the Facebook app, you'll start streaming to your audience immediately.
A key benefit of going Live is that you can make your broadcast public. This means that it will appear on your page and be discoverable by anyone on Facebook. This way, anyone can watch your stream even if they're not following your page.
Live is also interactive. This means that people watching your stream can comment and tag themselves in your video. If someone comments, you'll see a notification and can decide how to respond. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no way to turn off comments on Facebook Live. So if you're streaming from your page, you'll be limited in how you can respond to viewers.
As we mentioned above, streaming on Facebook can be done in a few different ways, each of which has a slight variation on the process. To stream on Facebook, you'll need a few things:
A Facebook Page: If you don't already have a Facebook page, you'll need to make one first.
A Computer or Mobile Device: To stream, you'll need one of these devices. Luckily, the Facebook app works on most devices, so you should be covered no matter what device you have.
A Good Internet Connection: This is pretty obvious, but if your internet connection is slow or unstable, you'll likely experience issues while streaming on Facebook. Ideally, you'll have a connection that can handle streaming and other online activities (like browsing the internet) without issue.
Broadcasting is the process of starting a live video from your computer. You can broadcast from a Facebook Page or a personal profile, but broadcasting from a Page gives you more control and options when it comes to sharing your broadcast.
To broadcast from a Facebook Page, follow these steps:
Navigate to your Page and click on "Broadcast."
Click "Start Live Video" to start the broadcast.
Select the Privacy settings for your broadcast.
If you're broadcasting from your personal profile, there are additional steps you'll need to take. Once you're in a live video, click on "Start Broadcast" and select "Broadcast to a Group." Then, select the Group where you'd like your live video to appear.
Facebook Live Events are a new feature that allows brands to host live events on Facebook. You can create a Facebook Event and then start a Facebook Live broadcast to host an online event.
You can invite people from your Facebook Page to this event, and the people you invite will receive a notification when the event starts. This way, they'll know to tune in to watch the broadcast.
As a creator, you'll have full control of your broadcast. You can invite your friends and fans to join the event and participate in real time. You can also moderate comments and remove inappropriate content.
Facebook is now rolling out Watch, a platform that hosts both original content and videos from partners. You'll find Watch in the right-hand sidebar of your Facebook feed. This section is dedicated to showing you a variety of shows available on Facebook.
With Watch, you can watch both short-form and long-form content. While you can access Watch on desktop, it also has a dedicated app for mobile. Watch is a great way to keep up with your favourite shows and discover content from creators around the world.
When you click on a show or episode, you'll have the option to watch it on Facebook or on your TV via a connected device.
If you're looking to boost engagement on your Facebook posts and become even more visible to your followers, Facebook Video Ads are for you. Video Ads give you the option to create professional-quality ads that play before other Facebook videos. This way, you can make sure your content is seen by a wider audience.
When you create a Video Ad, you'll be able to select the content you want to play and target your audience based on their interests, age and more. You'll also have the option to include an end card, which is a clickable link that directs viewers to your website.
When you create a video ad, you'll have the option to host it on Facebook or YouTube. This way, you can reach a wider audience and make sure your ads are playing before relevant videos across both platforms.
If streaming isn't your thing and you'd rather upload pre-recorded content to Facebook, you can do so in a few different ways.
You can upload videos to your Facebook Page. You can also use the Facebook app to create a custom feed where you can upload videos.
Another option is to use Facebook Groups to host your videos. Groups are a great way to host videos you don't want to be public.
Finally, you can use Facebook Watch to upload videos that are hosted exclusively on the platform.
If you're hosting a live Q&A on Facebook, you can use the Live Video feature or the Facebook Live Q&A feature.
When you're hosting a live Q&A on Facebook, you can add a pinned post in the Facebook Groups where you're hosting the Q&A. This way, people can sign up to be a part of your Q&A.
Rather than using the Live Video feature, you can click on "Start a Live Q&A" in the Facebook app.
Streaming is big business, with Facebook being a key player in the industry. If you're a creator and want to stream on Facebook, you have more options than ever before. Whether you want to host a live Q&A, host a live event, or simply go Live and stream content to your followers, you have all the tools you need to succeed. Now, it's up to you to take advantage of them.

Here to Stay and Prodigy
Farizan, Sara. Here to Stay
Algonquin Young Readers (September 18, 2018)
ARC provided by Young Adult Books Central
Bijan Majidi does okay in high school-- he has a good friend, Sean, is on the basketball team, and while he might be a little clueless about girls, he hopes that things will improve. After doing well enough on the basketball court to be moved to the varsity team, he hopes that he will catch the attention of his crush, Elle. Instead, after his victory on the court and a stint helping Stephanie Bergner gather signatures for a petition to remove "Gunners" as the school mascot, he is the target of an awful e mail sent to all of the students in his private school, photoshopping his picture onto that of a "terrorist". Bijan's mother is of Persian descent and his late father grew up in Jordan, but Bijan doesn't really identify as anything but a US citizen. His mother, of course, is tremendously upset about the e mail, and goes to the school, but Bijan just doesn't want there to be a fuss and hopes everything will pass. Yes, there are some jerks on his team-- Drew is also on a scholarship and isn't pleased when Bijan intervenes during an issue with Drew's girlfriend Erin, and Will is just a general jerk-- but Bijan isn't entirely sure they are behind the photograph. He continues to work with Stephanie on the mascot change, which is not popular with all students, and does well on the basketball court, dealing with some additional unpleasantness in the locker room. That doesn't bother him that much, but when another photoshopped picture, this time of Stephanie and her girlfriend, is circulated, he is interested in finding the culprit and bringing that person to justice.
Introducing racial tensions via sports books is a great way to get the attention of lots of readers, and hopefully open some eyes along the way. Bijan's insistence that this is a problem he shouldn't even be having is heart rending and will resonate with many readers. The rarified atmosphere of a private school makes this a little more complicated. It's good to see that there are a lot of people who take Bijan's side, and his most fervent wish is for people to just let him be himself.
The budding romance with Elle is sweet, and the friendship with Stephanie even more interesting. I did like that he and Drew came to an understanding despite their differences.
There is a lot of underage drinking in this, although Bijan listens to his mother and does not drink, and there are a few other situations that, while fairly calm for Young Adult fiction, make this more suited to high school readers.
I was a little surprised that there would be students who would NOT want to change the mascot from the "Gunners", but this book would have been finished well before the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
Graced with a fantastic cover, Here to Stay is a compelling read about basketball, unlikely friendships, and that current sociopolitical climate surrounding race relations in the US. How sad is it that we are still dealing with racial issues like this that were described in books like Cerra's Just a Drop of Water (2016), Budhos's Watched (2016), Walter's Bifocal (2007), and even Cooney's The Terrorist (1999).

N.B. I have never played or even seen golf. I know nothing about the terminology, the competitions, the players or... anything. I tried!
Frank is a very good 17-year-old golfer. after being a runner up in a big amateur tournament the previous year, he returns to the circuit and wins another big event (under noteworthy circumstances) that puts him in the Masters. He's up against older, competent players, and also gets to meet real life golf stars. (I'm assuming, only because Phil Mikelson was familiar from an arthritis medicine ad!) In the meantime, his personal life has drama. His mother left years ago and is living happily in Japan with her new family, and his father is on track to become the same sort of overbearing parent Tiger Woods' father had the reputation to be. Luckily, his coach, Slugger, calls in a reporter friend, Keith, to try to talk sense into the father. It doesn't go well, and the father continues to work with a rep, Lawrensen, whose only interest is in making money. Frank, to his eternal credit, just wants to enjoy the game and get along with his father. He also doesn't want to go pro any time soon, but wants to attend college. Keith, despite being a reporter and having a run in or two with the father, is very helpful to Frank, even working with him on a cheating incident (another player, not Frank!), and being the one Frank turns to when his amateur status might be in jeopardy. Things work out in the end, but not after a lot of suspenseful twists and turns!
Strengths: My goodness. This was a nail biter. I loved, love, loved Frank and his healthy attitude; I loved that Keith was a really good friend to Frank even though there was no reason for him to be, and I hated the evil father and rep who were trying to push Frank to go pro. This is a fantasy novel-- very few teen boys are going to make it this far, although one of my former students is doing quite well. There are so few golf novels, and this is just a fantastic one. I especially liked the fact that Frank was older but was too busy playing golf to get into inappropriate trouble!
Weaknesses: To me, Keith is a teenage name and Frank is an old man name. I had a LOT of trouble keeping the characters straight at first because of this! Also, my complete lack of knowledge about gold put me at a disadvantage.
What I really think: Brilliant choice for any 5-12 student interested in golf.
N.B.2- I can't think the word "golf" without hearing my mother say "more money than brains" in my head, which is what she thought of anyone who played gold!
Iron Guy Carl 9:52 AM EDT
Oh, far be it from me to disagree with your mom but I have to in this case. Golf is every bit a mental game as much as a physical effort. The pros will tell you, in fact, that it involves more mental effort because of all the calculations of where the ball needs to go, the distance involved, the best means to send the ball where it needs to go, the sheer concentration needed put it there--and the amount of strategy to keep ahead of your competitors!
Iron Guy Carl 3:19 PM EDT
PS--this book really sounds good.
Ms. Yingling 7:21 AM EDT
I think, in my mother's world, playing golf was seen as something that only the very rich and idle did. She came from an impoverished farming community, and I bet it's a saying she picked up from HER mother! My neighborhood used to have its own golf tournament, but 50 years later it isn't the new, posh place it was, and the neighbors who played are all elderly, but it always made me feel posh.... and giggle a bit!
Iron Guy Carl 10:27 AM EDT
Ah, I see what you mean. I guess. with those beautifully-manicured courses and the nice clothes, golf has always seemed like a game for those with money. At
least, that's what you see on TV. I grew up in a working-class family and played golf at the public course through high school and college. Never was any good--I was always happy when I could break 100 in NINE holes!

This chapter provides a brief account of galvanic corrosion, which occurs when a metal or alloy is electrically coupled to another metal or conducting nonmetal in the same electrolyte. It begins by describing the galvanic series of metals and alloys useful for predicting galvanic relationships, followed by a brief section on polarization of metals or alloys. The effects of area, distance, and geometric shapes on galvanic-corrosion behavior are then discussed. Various alloys susceptible to galvanic corrosion are briefly reviewed. The chapter also discusses various modes of attack that lead to galvanic corrosion, along with methods for predicting and controlling...

Next-generation Internet will be governed by the need for flexibility. Heterogeneous end-systems, novel applications, and security and manageability challenges require networks to provide a broad range of services that go beyond store-and-forward. Following this trend, a service-centric network architecture is proposed for the next-generation Internet. It utilizes router-based programmability to provide packet processing services inside the network and decompose communications into these service blocks. By providing different compositions of services along the data path, such network can customize its connections to satisfy various communication requirements. This design extends the flexibility of the Internet to meet its next-generation challenges. This work addresses three major challenges in implementing such service-centric networks. Finding the optimal path for a given composition of services is the first challenge. This is called "service routing" since both service availability and routing cost need to be considered. Novel algorithms and a matching protocol are designed to solve the service routing problem in large scale networks. A prototype based on Emulab is implemented to demonstrate and evaluate our design. Finding the optimal composition of services to satisfy the communication requirements of a given connection is the second challenge. This is called "service composition." A novel decision making framework is proposed, which allows the deduction of the service composition problem into a planning problem and automates the composition of service according to specified communication requirements. A further investigation shows that extending this decision making framework to combine the service routing and service composition problems yields a better solution than solving them separately. Run-time resource management on the data plane is the third challenge. Several run-time task mapping approaches have been proposed for Network Processor systems. An evaluation methodology based on queuing network is designed to systematically evaluate and compare these solutions under various network traffic scenarios. The results of this work give qualitative and quantitative insights into next-generation Internet design that combines issues from computer networking, architecture, and system design.
