The Greeks or Hellenes (Έλληνες, Éllines) are an ethnic group native to Greece, Cyprus, southern Albania, Italy, Turkey, Egypt and, to a lesser extent, other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. They also form a significant diaspora, with Greek communities established around the world.. Greek colonies and communities have been historically established on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, but the Greek people have always been centered on the Aegean and Ionian seas, where the Greek language has been spoken since the Bronze Age.. Until the early 20th century, Greeks were distributed between the Greek peninsula, the western coast of Asia Minor, the Black Sea coast, Cappadocia in central Anatolia, Egypt, the Balkans, Cyprus, and Constantinople. Many of these regions coincided to a large extent with the borders of the Byzantine Empire of the late 11th century and the Eastern Mediterranean areas of ancient Greek colonization. The cultural centers of the Greeks have included Athens, Thessalonica, Alexandria, Smyrna, and Constantinople at various periods. Most ethnic Greeks live nowadays within the borders of the modern Greek state and Cyprus. The Greek genocide and population exchange between Greece and Turkey nearly ended the three millennia-old Greek presence in Asia Minor. Other longstanding Greek populations can be found from southern Italy to the Caucasus and southern Russia and Ukraine and in the Greek diaspora communities in a number of other countries. Today, most Greeks are officially registered as members of the Greek Orthodox Church.CIA World Factbook on Greece: Greek Orthodox 98%, Greek Muslim 1.3%, other 0.7%. Greeks have greatly influenced and contributed to culture, arts, exploration, literature, philosophy, politics, architecture, music, mathematics, science and technology, business, cuisine, and sports, both historically and contemporarily.

Need more work-life balance? Compassion might be better than compartmentalization
By Tracey Anne Duncan
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. While I'm grateful that it panned out, I'm so attached to my work identity that when anything isn't going that well with my writing, it can feel really personal. I suppose that shows my investment in my job. But on a deeper level, when I die, I do want to be remembered for more than good reporting and a clever turn of phrase. It can be damn near impossible — if your career is your life's work, especially — to separate your professional success from your personal worth. Is it worth it to even try? I reached out to some experts to help me better understand how to create some semblance of work-life balance.
First off, in my quest for self-preservation in a rather unsteady world, I asked about how fixating on your work and only your work can affect your mental health. "I see people with work-related depression or anxiety in my practice all the time," Aimee Daramus, a Chicago-based psychologist says, which feels reassuring but also troubling. "Folks often have their identities so wrapped up in work that they experience every professional problem as a direct reflection on themselves." That's about the size of it. No one read that article I penned about big pharma? I must be a bad writer and a bad person.
It can be exhausting, but is being wrapped up in your professional identity always a bad thing? Not exactly, says David Austern, a psychiatrist and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine. "Work is often the first thing a person uses to describe themselves," he notes. "Presumably, that person has many other roles. But it could be that work is most important. That's okay, but we want to make sure that we are not becoming more fused with our professional identities if it's unintentional."
"No one read that article I penned about big pharma? I must be a bad writer and a bad person."
Austern uses the term "intention" here, evoking a certain awareness of what we're doing to ourselves. And if that awareness exists, we might not need to be judging ourselves or anyone else who is fused to their job. Ultimately, he theorizes, if you don't want your career to be your central identity, but you find yourself most strongly identifying with that role, then it's a problem. If you're aware and accepting that your work is your life, then more power to you. You've probably figured out how to create balance within that lifestyle.
Basically what I'm saying, fellow creatives, your work obsession could be justified. "Especially if you're doing work you love — the work might be close to who you are," says Vera Lester, a career coach in New Orleans. But, she clarifies, it's seldom your total identity. You play other roles in your family and community.
If your work isn't going well or you don't like your job, your mental health could suffer if you attach yourself to it too closely.
This is especially important to remember, Lester notes, if your job is more of a means to an end rather than your passion. "If you're doing work that you don't enjoy," she says, "then you're operating inside of a constant cognitive dissonance," she says. Basically, if your work isn't going well or you don't like your job, your mental health could suffer if you attach yourself to it too closely. Either way, all the experts I spoke to agree that, in order to be your happiest, recognize that your identity is more than your career.
"Consider the totality of your life," says Lisa Orbé-Austin, New York-based psychologist and career coach. "What are other aspects of your life that are not defined by your work? Interests and hobbies? Social connections? Passions?" She suggests talking to people you're close with to take an inventory of these other aspects of your life, including hobbies and social connections. "How much time you are or are not investing in those other areas you will begin to be able to recognize why work may be taking over your sense of self," he adds. So even if you love your job, you can benefit from doing other things.
There's some fascinating psychology behind why we can become dependent on our job for personal validation. "Often times because you are spending so much time at work, you may feel a sense of mastery in that aspect of your life that you don't feel in other areas, which is why you may be avoiding them," she says. This resonates with me; I like writing, I'm good at it, and therefore it builds my confidence. Orbe-Austin suggests fostering other parts of your life but not expecting the same level of gratification from them in the beginning.
How else can we build our self-esteem outside of work? David Austern hit me with a real curve ball on that one. "What if I offered you a hard sell?" he asked. "What if I say that it could be that self-esteem is less important than we think?" Okay, I'll bite. But, what's important, then?
Self-compassion, says Austern. Sounds cozy, but how do I get it? He has three steps: "First we must treat ourselves kindly if we notice that we're having negative thoughts, then acknowledge negative self-talk and mindfully allow ourselves to have it, and then practice a diffusion skill that's geared towards not trying to challenge or negate it."
So, if you're finding it difficult to deal when something at work is going awry, you might be thinking something like, "I'm bad at this job." Austern says. "Even people who have a high self-esteem are going to doubt themselves. We want to work on accepting more of those thoughts, even when internally we're not feeling good."
I tell Austern that it feels very Buddhist to me. He laughs and says that his approach (called ACT or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is mindfulness-based, so that makes sense, as the Buddhists are pioneering masters of mindfulness. But there's also science behind it, he says. "Even people who have low self-esteem, if they have high self-compassion, it doesn't lead to negative mental health outcomes."

[SOUND]. So in the previous video we just saw what happens when a computer savvy user whose not a security specialist, encounters an SSL warning in their browser. Now we're going to to focus more on that as an academic intellectual case study, and to do that we are going to read this paper, Crying Wolf: an Empirical Study of SSL Warning Effectiveness. You'll find a link to the PDF of this paper in the materials for this week on Coursera. And you should read the paper before going through the lecture, because then you'll have a better background for it. Now, just as a reminder, these SSL warnings are messages that come up in your browser when it encounters a problem with the security certificate for a secure website. So that could be that the certificate is expired, that it's signed by the wrong domain, or that the browser doesn't recognize the signing authority for the certificate. When a user encounters that, it's possible that there's just a meaningless error, like if the clock is set incorrectly on their computer, making security certificates look expired when they're not. But they also can be indicators of man in the middle attacks, or other security problems that will prevent a user from securely accessing a website. The browser's goal is to discourage users from going forward, especially to secure sites, when it can't validate the security certificate. This paper looked at how effective those warnings are, and how we might design more effective warnings. After this lecture, the next one you will see is an interview with Lorrie Cranor, the last author listed on this paper. And she's going to talk a little more about the process they went through in designing the alternative SSL Warnings that we're going to see discussed in this paper. So let's start by taking a look at the three SSL warnings that were studied in the paper. The first one is this, which is the security warning that comes up when an invalid certificate is shown in Firefox 2. Again, if you print out the PDF of the paper or download it, you can read these messages more in depth, and you should take a look at them before you go through this lecture. The second is very similar to the message that we saw in the previous video showing that a secure connection failed. This is the message from Firefox 3, and finally they looked at this SSL warning that comes up in Internet Explorer. So these were the three major browsers in use at the time that the paper was written. And the author started out just by trying to see how people thought about these errors and how they responded to them. Their survey provided some interesting results. First, they looked at three different types of errors that could cause an invalid security certificate. And if we look on the horizontal, the X axis here, we can see that those are having an expired certificate, having an unknown certificate authority, or having a domain mismatch. Where the certificate is for a different domain than the site the user's trying to access. They showed these errors to people along with how they would appear in each of the three different browsers that we just saw. And they asked them whether or not they would continue on to the site they were accessing. This table shows the percentage of respondents who said they would continue, that they would not continue or maybe they would. You can see for an expired certificate many more people said they would continue than in the other two cases. And you can see in all of these cases the people seeing the Firefox 2 error proceeded more, though in the last case of having a domain mismatch, that's a really small percentage of people. Still, we see 30, 40% of people say they would continue even if they see these SSL errors. Now depending on the site they're going to, that might be okay. If you're going to a site where you're just browsing, there's no secure or interesting personal information there, it may not matter that you don't have a secure connection. That's something that's addressed later in this study that we'll talk about. But another interesting result that came out of this survey were comments from people about why they would continue, that includes things like I use a Mac, so nothing bad would happen. This user trusts their system, so they don't think they have anything to worry about with the SSL certificate expired. While it is the case that Macs have fewer viruses that they run into than a Windows machine does, viruses aren't really the risk with an invalid security certificate. So, this person's confidence in their operating system, actually doesn't help them in the case of the security error that they're running into. Another user said, since I use FreeBSD rather than Windows, there's not much risk. Again there is a similar understanding of the general security risks that come with a certain operating system, that don't actually apply to the security case in question. And finally one use says, On my Linux box, nothing significantly bad would happen. So these users are all focused on their computers, and the risks their computers face. But, they don't quite understand that they're actually facing a risk of transmitting personal information that could be intercepted, and used in ways that they don't like. So the study, after doing that survey, wanted to see if there were possibly ways they could create a better SSL warning. So they started off with this experimental warning page. And they say, the secure connection failed, and then they ask people what type of website were you trying to reach? A bank or another financial institution, an online store or an e-commerce website, other, and I don't know. Those first two are places where you might be transmitting sensitive information like your banking information, log in information, or things like credit card or other personal information if you're shopping. If you're not going to a site where you'd send some of that secure financial information, it may be the case that you don't actually need to worry about the certificate being expired. So, they had a second page that came up. If users were not going to one of those sensitive websites, they would go ahead and pass them on to the website. So, if I said I was going to another website and clicked continue, it would say, okay, and send me along to my destination. If I had indicated I was going to one of those first two more sensitive websites, then I would get this very scary warning that comes up all in red. That says there's a high risk of security compromise, it says that we're having our connection intercepted by another party, or someone is impersonating the site that we're trying to go to. The attacker's trying to steal information, and we have this option to figure out, do we just get out of there, do we have an option to see why the site was blocked? And, down in the corner you see there's an option to ignore the warning, which is small, and so it's not something that someone's instinctively going to click on. They're more likely to look at the buttons. Users participated in an in-lab experiment, where they were shown a series of different errors and asked whether or not they would continue on to the website they were trying to access. Those errors included the three that we saw for Firefox 2, 3, and for Internet Explorer, along with two experimental conditions. One of them is a multi-page system that first shows this error, and then if the person's trying to access a website with sensitive information, it takes the user to this scary high warning page. And the second experimental condition only shows this high risk security page. So we have two experimental conditions, and three existing SSL certificate warnings. And users were sent to either The Carnegie Mellon Library website, or to a banking website. These are the results that the researchers found. On the horizontal x axis, we can see all five experimental conditions. The first three are the SS Cell Certificate warnings from Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer. Then we see the Single-page warning which is that red box that looks very scary. And finally the Multi-page warning that first asks users which kind of site they're trying to go to and then, if they're going to a more secure or sensitive website, takes them to the red warning page. On the vertical axis we see the percentage of users who said they would ignore the warning and go on to the website. Finally, there's two bars shown for each of these different browser warnings. The blue one shows what percentage of users would go on to the website if they were accessing a banking website, and the green bar shows the percentage of users who would continue on to a library website, which is less sensitive. What we can see is that the Single-page warning, which is just that large red error box, had significantly fewer people in the banking website who said they would actually go onto the site. So that's good, you want people who are potentially going to transmit sensitive information to be less likely to do that when there's an SSL error. However, for the library website, the Firefox 3 error kept the most people off the site. The Single-page allowed, the second largest number of people to go through. But you can see for the library website, overall, a lot of people were willing to ignore the SSL warning, and go on to the website. It tended to be lower for banking, though looking at the Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer warnings, still 90% of people were willing to ignore that warning, and go on to the banking website. The different SSL warning interfaces also had an impact on users who logged in, bases on whether or not they read or didn't read the error message, and based on whether or not they understood it. Now, an important thing to note here, is that we're looking at the percentage of users who logged in, and so, none of these numbers, you should expect to add up to a 100%. So in the Firefox 2 condition the first row, we can see that among people who read the error message, 20% of them logged in. Among people who didn't read the error message, 70% of them logged in. Moving on, when people have read and understood the error message, 35% of them logged in. But when people read but did not understand the error message, 55% of them logged in. And we actually see that there's a big variation in all of these numbers across the different interfaces. So, for example, when we look at the single message, that was the experimental condition that just shows the red error box, 20% of people who read it logged in, 25% of people who didn't read it logged in. Among people who understood it, 20% logged in, where 25% of people who didn't understand it, logged in. The differences between these numbers are smaller, than the differences between the numbers for Firefox 2. Which suggests that it could be the interface that's warning people off, regardless of whether they read it, didn't read it, understand it or don't understand it. Whereas in the Firefox 2 example, reading it makes a significant difference as does understanding it. What this table is illustrating for us, is that the interfaces can make a difference as to whether or not people log in, regardless of whether they read or don't read. And for some of the interfaces it's very important that they read, where in other interfaces it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. The same goes for understanding, when people understand, they may log in much less than when they don't understand, but in some interfaces that's not the case. Thus the interface makes a big difference in users' behavior. So what lessons can we take from this study? Well it's not necessarily that any one of these SSL warnings is superior to the others. Rather, this study gives us the insight that different interfaces can have major impacts on the security behavior of users. We saw in their results that, depending on which SSL warning they saw, some people were more or less likely to continue on to the site that they were trying to access. We also get some lessons that depending on what they're shown, users may be more or less likely to read the message in the first place, and depending on how its presented, they may or may not understand it. We also saw very big differences in the rate of logging in among people who read and didn't read error messages, and people who understood and did not understand them. And that was related to the interface they saw, it also gives us some lessons about how to design these things. We want to think about what do we want users to do? In this particular case study, when there is an Invalid Security Certificate, if a user's going to a site that requires sensitive information, like a banking site, we want them not to continue. That's the best security decision. So, that's what we want users to do, and that leads us to the question, what do they, the users, need to understand, in order to do that. So if we want the users to stop, if they're going to a site that requests sensitive information, when we can't validate the authenticity of that site, what do we need to tell users so they'll make that decision? These different interfaces don't necessarily convey information in a way that users will understand it. Again, we saw varying levels of understanding, and in our previous video where we saw our computer savvy non security person accessing one of these errors, we could tell that he wasn't exactly sure what was going on. That was echoed in this paper in the survey questions where a lot of users were giving answers related to their system, rather than to the communication of their information, which is actually what's at risk. So we need to think about, how do we convey the risks and the situation to users, because that will help them make the right security decision. And then finally, we think about, how can we make it more natural for users to do the right thing? We saw that in this study with the scary red page error. They had moved the option to ignore the warning and continue to the page to a less-obvious place. So users wouldn't just click on a button to get past the error, they'd really have to read and find that link in order to proceed. These are the lessons that guide a lot of design decisions and especially security decisions. We think about what the users should do, how do we make it clear and natural for them to make the right decision. In the next video we're going to talk to Lorrie Cranor, who's one of the authors of this paper, and get her take on some of the lessons and implications of this work.


January is my busiest month of the year for making public presentations. People want to know what the economy will be like in the year ahead. For businesses, economic forecasts are important for production and hiring plans. Government officials want to know what the economy will mean for their tax revenues and public expenditures. And, of course, the relative strength or weakness of the economy is one of the key determinants of the availability, types and pay of jobs for workers.
I open my presentations by telling audiences economists are very good at predicting the past! Although meant as a joke, there's a large element of truth in the statement. Like any part of life, try as we might to understand it, the economy is always filled with unpredictable twists and turns.
Economists look at a number of factors in making forecasts. Most important are existing trends among businesses and consumers, how long it has been since the last recession and the expected impacts of any new government economic policies.
Since the national economy is so crucial to state and local economies, let me start there. If the national economy continues to grow through mid-year, the current economic expansion – which began in mid-2009 – will be the second longest in the nation's history.
Most economists think this will happen, predicting that national economic growth will continue in 2018. By the end of the year, the most widely quoted unemployment rate will fall another half percentage point, bringing the rate to near 3.5 percent, the lowest in a decade. Other broader measures of unemployment, which include unemployed workers who have stopped looking for jobs and workers who are underemployed, will also drop.
Although pay raises for workers have been modest in recent years, the key number is whether they have kept pace with inflation. The good news is – they have – and then some. In the last three years, average hourly wages have exceeded annual inflation by one percentage point – certainly not a record but at least keeping workers' pay changes above water. With an improving labor market in 2018, this gain should improve.
So households in 2018 could get the trifecta of an expanding economy, more jobs and better pay. But of course, let me quickly add this is "on average", meaning some households will be much better-off during the year, while others won't see improvement.
Two potential economic downsides for 2018 might be both higher inflation and interest rates. Economic growth and low unemployment are usually a recipe for faster price increases. While the safe bet is that average prices will rise slightly more than two percent during the year, globalization and better manufacturing efficiency have been keeping a lid on inflation.
With the Federal Reserve gently moving back to a more normal monetary policy – following their extraordinary moves during and immediately after the Great Recession – short-term interest rates are expected to rise by as much as a full percentage point in 2018. Long-term rates, like fixed mortgage rates, will also edge up.
The big question for the national economy is the impact of the new tax plan on growth. While most studies suggest a positive effect, there are wide range of numerical estimates, from raising the growth rate by a few tenths of a percentage point to doubling the annual growth rate.
What about North Carolina's economy in 2018? With the national economy expanding, our state's economy should also grow. The strongest sectors will be technology, professional and business services and leisure and food services.
Around 70,000 payroll jobs will be added in the state during 2018. Yet it's important to remember this is a "net" number, meaning it's the difference between the number of jobs added and the number of jobs eliminated. Even in the best of times, there is "churning" in the economy, as some businesses and industries expand while others downsize.
The statewide unemployment rate will be near 3.6 percent as 2018 ends. Three metropolitan regions – Asheville, Durham, and Raleigh – could have jobless rates close to three percent at the end of the year.
There may be some slight improvements to the state's two major "divides" – the urban/rural divide and the job market divide. In 2017, 80 percent of the net payroll jobs added in the state were in the largest metropolitan areas. As the labor force becomes tighter in these regions in 2018, some more new jobs will go to smaller metros and rural areas. Still, the geographic divide is not going away.
The job market divide is the growth of jobs at the ends of the pay spectrum – high-paying and low-paying – with little or no growth in middle-pay jobs. This has been an ongoing issue for decades in both the state and the nation. With a rebound in manufacturing and construction jobs last year, there was some improvement in the divide in 2017, and the same should happen in 2018. The job market divide will be far from eliminated though.
Hopefully, when we look back at the economy in 2018, we can decide the year has been a good one for more people and places – and that we will have at least made some progress in the economic issues we confront. If so, then maybe we can call 2018 a Happy New Year!

Top 10 Sexiest Pics Of Polina Glen, Johnny Depp's Rumored Girlfriend
Polina Glen / Instagram
Patricia Grannum
Johnny Depp reportedly has a new woman in his life and her name is Polina Glen. According to The Daily Mail, Polina is a Russian go-go dancer, and she's been heating up Instagram with very sensual photos of herself.
Here are 10 of the sexiest photos posted on her page.
1) Spicy Hot Bikini Shot
Bye bye Summer ????????????
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Sep 9, 2018 at 2:16pm PDT
Polina showed off her enviable hourglass curves and toned legs in this bikini shot at the beach. She also posts a lot of videos of her dancing on Instagram so it's easy to see how she earned her fit physique.
2) Black And White Beauty
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Aug 24, 2018 at 1:41pm PDT
It's clear to see that Polina has some modeling chops based on this photo. While it's elegant and understated, it also shows off her curves.
3) Lacy Lingerie
She didn't come to play.
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Jun 18, 2018 at 4:07am PDT
The Daily Mail reports that Polina studied electrical power installations in St. Petersburg, but you'd likely never guess that from seeing this seductive shot.
4) Baring It All
Every time I'm back to him.
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Jun 8, 2018 at 9:29am PDT
The caption on this photo could hint at the passionate relationship she might be having with Johnny Depp. The Heavy reports that he's "smitten" with her and there have been sightings of them kissing while visiting Serbia.
5) Crop Top Tease
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Feb 8, 2018 at 11:31pm PST
Maybe this is the type of clothing she wears on her off days. According to The Heavy, she met Johnny Depp at a party in Los Angeles but didn't recognize him, so perhaps she isn't the kind of person who really pays attention to celebrities or pop culture.
6) Femme Fatale
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Jan 18, 2017 at 12:19am PST
The Daily Mail reports that she's an entrepreneur as well, partnering with a company that sells herbal tea native to Russia. But, she clearly has a penchant for posing and uses her Instagram page to showcase it.
7) Smoldering Stare
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Dec 23, 2016 at 5:46pm PST
Johnny and Polina have also been spotted together in Russia at one of his band's performances in Moscow, The Heavy reports. So, you could speculate that they may have bonded over their love of performance. After all, he's an actor/musician and she's a dancer.
8) Curves And Cleavage
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Nov 30, 2016 at 5:04am PST
While she's an unknown in the United States, she's been on a reality TV show in Russia. According to The Heavy, the show was called Go-Go Girls and gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of the women who dance professionally to entertain clubgoers in Russia.
9) Straps And Seduction
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Nov 27, 2016 at 11:53am PST
Polina's Instagram page shows off an ambition to brand herself as a bombshell. A source told The Daily Mail that Johnny thinks that her drive is very attractive since he wants to be with someone who isn't heavily interested in capitalizing on his previous success in Hollywood.
"She's really sweet and caring. She's very talented. I'm sure Johnny assists but she's off doing her own thing," the source said.
10) Elegant With A Hint Of Naughty
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Apr 11, 2017 at 7:59pm PDT
The Heavy reveals that Polina might be in her late 20s, which means that there's a big age difference between her and the 55-year-old actor. This isn't the first time that he's been in a relationship with a much younger woman, though. He was once married to actress Amber Heard but that ended in disaster. The two are divorced but are currently locked in a legal dispute over comments that Amber made about alleged domestic violence by Johnny.
Bonus) Sexy, But She Can Be Cute Too!
A post shared by POLINA GLEN (@polinaglen) on Jul 22, 2015 at 6:32am PDT
We likely won't learn much about this purported relationship until either of them gives an interview directly addressing it. Perhaps there'll be a sighting of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor on her Instagram page. Only time will tell.

In its own smaller scale, the memory of the emigrant steerage has long been held, like the slaves 'middle passage' and the trains of the Holocaust, as an icon in Ireland's oppression"
- Robert Scally (qtd in O'Grada 105-106).
After years of oppression from the British government and a famine, a large part of the Irish population chose to emigrate from Ireland in a final attempt to save themselves and their family. Conditions at home were uninhabitable, and therefore they chose to embark on a dangerous ship sailing to North America, Australia, or England. However, they were not prepared for the despicable conditions on the coffin ships, or the threat of famine diseases wherever they went. In this section you will find information on emigration, coffin ships, and the destinations to which the coffin ships would journey to.

Last March, during the SXSW festival, Sega started teasing a new Sonic Racing game in addition to other ads around the franchise. Aaron Webber of Sega also said that this project was not the result of an already existing game. Despite which Sega has recently teased Sonic Racing again.
During a recent live stream, the company revealed that they have more news for us.
As we are closer than ever to E3 this year we can expect to see a reveal which will give us more information about the game. Webber also said they will give out information on their E3 plans soon and there will be cool games to talk about this year.
Other than that Sega CEO Haruki Satomi recently shared a few exciting news about the company and its future along with which it was revealed that the Yakuza studio is working on a new unannounced IP.

There are 102 carbon capture projects globally, with 51 in the United States. These projects can capture, store, and utilize emissions from power and bioenergy plants, industrial facilities, and even directly from the air. Some are innovative new concepts being developed by startups, and others have been operating at commercial scale for decades. One thing they have in common: we'll likely need this full suite of technologies to meet international and domestic climate goals.
Click here to explore the interactive maps and learn more about the different types of carbon capture projects included in the map.
Carbon capture expert and Obama-era Department of Energy official Julio Friedmann explains—in under 3 minutes—why anyone who's serious about climate should be serious about carbon capture.
Clean energy technologies like solar, carbon capture, wind, and nuclear are already providing us with some of the energy we need, without the emissions. But, we're not deploying them fast enough. In fact, we've already gone through about 73% of our carbon budget (aka how much carbon can be in the air before warming rises to an unsafe level). We can and should ramp up deployment of clean energy technologies. But, we also have a secret weapon that many experts think we'll absolutely need to win the climate fight: negative emissions technologies.

Jungheinrich plant in Moosburg resumes production
Jungheinrich has resumed operations at its plant in Moosburg, Bavaria, today.
As planned, Jungheinrich has resumed operations at its plant in Moosburg, Bavaria, today. With the start of the early shift, production of electric and IC engine counterbalanced trucks was continued after a two-week break. All Jungheinrich plants are now back in operation.
Jungheinrich interrupted production at the Moosburg plant on March 27 due to supply bottlenecks of materials by subcontractors in the wake of the corona epidemic. According to the plan, the relevant stocks were replenished during the production break.


In Summary may seem like an odd title for Colin Cannon's debut recording and the beginning of a musical journey; but as the liner notes attest, this music is the result of his every positive and negative experience of the last five years. To make music any other way would be to leave part of himself out of the creative process, and what comes through is the personality of Cannon as guitarist and composer, which is perhaps his greatest achievement on this CD.
First impressions can be deceptive, and on the strength of "Berklee Cage" it might be concluded that Cannon is a fusion guitarist given to shredding. His guitar solo is indeed fairly wild, testing the limits of his instrument; but there's an unmistakable musicality within his playing, and above all in the heart of the composition. The lyricism and melody that permeate these songs, and Cannon's keen sense of harmony, recall on more than one occasion Pat Metheny. Shades of the Missouri guitarist are more keenly felt in Cannon's acoustic playing, which has a decidedly pastoral feel, as on the beautiful miniature "And Again."
Stylistically, the songs are diverse, ranging from the rip-roaring to the introspective and from the straight-ahead to more modern-influenced. The gently humming static pulse and nostalgic crackle of a stylus on old vinyl accompanies acoustic guitar on the atmospheric "For the Record," which fades away in a slightly Spanish mood. On "Clarity in the City," Cannon employs dreamy echo effects on this guitar-only composition. The use of echo on bass, piano and guitar is heard again on the lively "Truffaz," adding a kind of reverie to the music. That the same song contains a guitar solo that sounds like a fax machine gone berserk says something for Cannon's sense of juxtaposition—there is a boldness about these compositions.
Cannon is ably supported by his band members. Zak Croxall's spare, thoughtful bass contrasts with the speed and intensity of Cannon's more exuberant solos, as well as Tom Hartman's impressive and animated drumming. Whether on sticks or brushes, Hartman really earns his crust, coloring the music with pressed rolls, cymbal shots and little touches that add greatly to the music. Pianist Manami Morita, whether comping or venturing out, acts as a foil for Cannon in much the way that Lyle Mays does for Metheny. Morita's very pretty intro to "M.C.B." gives way to some lovely syncopated interplay with Cannon, and the two dovetail like birds at play on one of the most impressive pieces on the CD.
The title track sees Cannon's gentle six-string ruminations act like bookends on a melodic piece whose intensity grows slowly but surely. His solo winds its way impressively, gaining in power and exhibiting flashes of technical prowess; but this is one of his more restrained solos, and all the more impressive for it.
Colin Cannon is a fine guitarist and composer of some maturity and this highly satisfying debut suggests that more shall be heard of him in the future.
Track Listing: The Berklee Cage; Dear Lydian; For the Record; The Slug; Clarity in the City; Truffaz; A Fading Cause; M.C.B.; And Again; In Summary.
Personnel: Colin Cannon: guitars; Manami Morita:piano; Zak Croxall:bass; Tom Hartman:drums.

Album | Maps & Atlases – Beware & Be Grateful
by For Folk's Sake • 17 April 2012 • Comments Off on Album | Maps & Atlases – Beware & Be Grateful
Like a heavily sugared iced chai latte – a bit too weird and way too rich for some people's tastes – Maps & Atlases are just my cup of tea. If you want to quickly fit Maps & Atlases into that mental map of all known musics, you could do worse than to think of them (on this album at least) as a much folkier version of GoodBooks and on hearing them it won't surprise you to learn they've toured with Foals, such is the obvious maths-rock influence.
But there's weirdness to Maps & Atlases that I think sets them apart from other bands of their ilk. That weirdness is less pronounced on this album than on their first. The instrumentals are more wholesome, the arrangements more streamlined. But behind the surface, Maps & Atlases still feel like a band itching not to conform, throwing out all kind of different shapes in all kinds of different directions. They're like a Mr. Men character wearing human clothes – finding a new image in which to wrap the mischief.
In short, it's an evolution, not a revolution – more danceable beats, more shades of blue note for Dave Davison's voice to stretch itself into, but maybe with slightly fewer surprises. Maps & Atlases will still be too odd for some people so beware; but for others they will be something approaching perfection – if that's you, be grateful.

'Today' show must go on following knife-wielding incident, Natalie Morales says
Natalie Morales, Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Michelle Rodriguez appear on NBC News' "Today" show. (NBC)
"Today" show anchor Natalie Morales said this morning's frightening incident—when a man in the audience cut himself with a knife during the show—would not impact the series' outside segments.
Morales told TMZ that it had been "kind of a hard day," but that the security team at the "Today" show handled the incident very well.
"Obviously we have a great security team as you see," she told the site. Security moved the show, which was filming in Rockefeller Center's plaza, indoors following the man's outburst.
Morales said though the incident occurred outside of the famed studio, the show would continue to film there.
"That's part of our identity as a show," she explained. "Our guests in the audience, in the plaza, expect to come out and have a good time so we'll still be out here."
'Emotionally disturbed' man stabs self on 'Today' show plaza, police say
At about 7:50 a.m., police say an emotionally disturbed man in his 50s attempted to harm himself during the broadcast. His physical injuries were not life-threatening. His mental condition is being evaluated at a hospital.
"Today" show host Matt Lauer tweeted: "Sorry, a man attempted to harm himself with a knife." He also explained the situation to viewers.
Morales said the minds behind the "Today" show felt it was important to address the incident immediately.
"We felt it was important to talk about it and make sure people knew what was happening," she said.

Storage facility goes underground
By Amy Kelly, Ledger Staff
NEW BEAVER - Stalagmites and stalactites are not found in this mine, but with the right access and the proper procedures you might get a glimpse of a pristine Maserati, a '57 Chevrolet or documents that date back to the 1800s in the Gateway Commerce Center in Lawrence County.
The limestone mine in New Beaver houses Underground Archives, a company that provides the opportunity to store cars, recreational vehicles, boats, bulk food items, warehousing facilities and hospital, business and governmental documents around the nearly 2,000 pillars supporting the 2-million-square-foot stone hollow.
But access to the mine by the casual visitor is limited, especially in the era of increased national security after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. And Underground Archives is in the midst of providing even more security for the center.
Currently, key card access panels are being installed outside all the storage rooms along with high security doors in the oval-shaped entryways.
Mines don't normally accommodate perfectly shaped rooms, however after being gutted out until the 1940s by former owner, Minneapolis, Minn.-based Meritex Enterprises Inc., the mine now resembles an aboveground warehouse, minus the windows.
Daniel Bruce, owner and manager of Underground Archives, said the latest security measures should have been taken when the center opened on Dec. 1, 2005, but the mine is naturally secure due to location and access into the facility.
"Cat Electronics, who also do a lot of work with the federal government, are working on the Gateway Commerce Center security," he said. "In about a month all the new procedures should be up and running."
Cameras face the freshly painted doorways of the storage rooms and motion detectors are inside to protect the approximately 50,000 records and other precious items held in the center.
Underground Archives' main office has a giant big-screen television monitoring all the cameras inside and outside the facility.
"Eventually we would like to have 24-hour guards at each door, even after the key card access is placed," Bruce said.
Underground Archives also provides a vaulting and barcode system specifically for each document so the company can track its information from the high number of records management businesses, which is estimated to grow 25 to 30 percent in the next few months.
"When we first looked at this location, we were told that the original "Star Wars" manuscripts were stored here," Bruce said.
Those looking through the 200-foot-high underground center might want to wear a sweater or light jacket because the normal mine temperature is around 55 to 65 degrees. This constant temperature helps create resistance against mold and mildew and makes winterizing vehicles unnecessary.
Currently, there are 12 employees for Underground Archives working at the Gateway location and around 90 in the entire center.
"There are many potential jobs the further the mine is developed," Bruce said.

Reception of US forces in Saudi Arabia
The decision by King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz to approve the reception of the US forces in Saudi Arabia as a step to strengthen cooperation for protecting the security and stability of the region was not only a response to the Saudi national interest, in light of the continued escalation of the crisis between Iran and the international forces, but the resolution was also a new confirmation of five facts concerning the role of the Kingdom and its global and regional status.
King Salman's agreement indicated that the historical relations between Riyadh and Washington were not affected by any of the storms that some have attempted to raise in recent months, especially in the political and cultural circles in the United States.
It is known that many attempts have been made over the past year inorder to strain the relationship between the two countries, but the Saudidiplomatic performance was able to constantly suppress them; however, SaudiArabia was achieving an international rise marked at the political and economiclevels.Saudi Arabia's role and status in the region is being assured by taking a new step towards stability.
Saudi Arabia's presence in the last two meetings of the G-20 alsoreflects the special appreciation of the Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman, bythe leaders of the major countries, particularly the United States and Russia.
On the economic level, according to many international reports, Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of the countries that achieve annual growth, not to mention what it has achieved in the field of human development, with various indicators.
Over the past years, Saudi Arabia together with its major oil exporters, has succeeded in balancing the global market and has taken the lead in protecting the global economy from the consequences of the Iranian escalation and the political crisis in Venezuela.
King Salman's decision affirmed that Saudi Arabia is no longer alone in the face of Iran's aggressive policy, after the leaders of the world, especially the United States of America, realized the importance of collective action to stop the danger represented by Tehran, without necessarily referring to the direction of the war.
According to the statement of the Ministry of Defense, the Saudiacceptance of the presence of US forces aims to raise the level of joint actionin defense of the security and stability of the region and ensure peace, whichmeans in practice that the purpose of this step is to deter sources of threat.
The Saudi approval for the reception of US forces evidently showsthat such a move is inseparable from cooperation and coordination betweenRiyadh and other regional and international capitals in order to protect thesecurity of the region.
The king's acceptance of US forces is part of Saudi Arabia'scommitment to prevent further regional tensions, as it represents a strongmessage to the Iranian regime that any futile attempts to exploit tensions inthe region will face the necessary deterrent force and militias.
Although Saudi Arabia has the necessary power to deal with thevarious threats, the presence of US forces is an enhancement of Saudi policy,which seeks to proactively contain risks, and not to engage in militaryconfrontations without abandoning its right to take all measures that preserveits safety and maintain the security and stability of its people.

Charlotte Symphony Orchestra inaugurates installation of 'Foragers'
October 13, 2020 Michele HugginsMuseum From Home, Read Watch and Listen0
Women's artistry shines as Charlotte Symphony Orchestra concertos inaugurate Mint Museum Uptown's newly installed Foragers
By Michael Solender
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra violinist Jenny Topilow could barely contain her enthusiasm when she learned she'd be performing in a special filmed concerto in the Mint Museum's Robert Haywood Morrison Atrium uptown earlier this fall.
Topilow, along with three of her symphony colleagues, were part of a unique celebration showcasing the space and the brilliant newly installed 96-panel "stained glass" installation, Foragers, by contemporary American artist Summer Wheat.
"The beauty of great art is of importance to all of us," Topilow says, "I love spending time at the Mint, go there often, and am excited to be part of this collaboration between two of Charlotte's favorite cultural institutions."
Bringing people together to enjoy beautiful artistry is at the core of the museum's mission. As part of the Mint Museum's 10th anniversary year uptown and in recognition of the challenges many in our community face getting out of their homes during the time of Covid, the Mint partnered with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra in creating a short film featuring a pair of duets performed by symphony musicians.
The collaboration came at invitation of the Wells Fargo Foundation, longtime supporters of both cultural institutions. "Our foundation uses different mediums to help tell the story of impact and reach into the communities we serve," says Jay Everette, Wells Fargo's senior vice president of philanthropy and corporate social responsibility. "The film represents a celebration of the power of women in art presented at the intersection of architecture, art and music. The film will ultimately be made available at no charge to the entire community."

Each duet is performed under the backdrop of Summer Wheat's transformative atrium window installation. Bathed in glowing jewel-toned light, the compelling musical performances are elevated by the sublimity of the space. Topilow and CSO harpist Andrea Mumm Trammell paired to play contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Part's Fratres, an enthusiastic set of frenetic activity juxtaposed against contemplative stillness. Charlotte Symphony Orchestra players, cellist Sarah Markle and violaist Alaina Rea, teamed for the contemplative and reflecting duet Limestone and Felt, by contemporary North Carolina composer and Pulitzer Prize for music recipient Caroline Shaw.
"During this time of COVID, we want to provide content that is uplifting, hopeful, positive, and optimistic," says Hillary Cooper, Chief Advancement Officer for The Mint Museum. "It's a gift to our donors and partners and comes with a promise of a brighter future."
Foragers was realized through the generous support of the Wells Fargo Foundation Women Artists Fund, a special fund developed to support broader representation of women artists in museum collections. The work showcases Wheat's commitment to telling the stories of women as laborers and makers. She redefines historic artistic gender representation in ways that make her work resonate loudly today.
"We asked our musicians to find inspiration in Foragers, and to select music that would complement it," says David Fisk, president, and CEO of Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. "To continue our focus on the impact of women in the arts, we feature two duets by female musicians, and one work by a contemporary female composer. I am pleased to highlight musicians from the Charlotte Symphony here at The Mint Museum for a performance that is at once classical and contemporary."
For Topilow, the performance is a joyful experience at a happy junction of art and music.
"Everything right now, during Covid, has unique aspect," Topilow says, "We wanted to create a large amount of powerful music with a small number of players and the result is truly special."

and the log is showing no error. Can anyone help me with this and tell what is the problem here?
Thankyou.

A: Since the log is showing no error, ANR could be caused by long operations in the main thread or also called UI thread. Your app then can't process other user interactions since the UI thread is blocked. Solution you can do is to do heavy operations in a worker thread to free-up the UI thread.
As mentioned in Threads:

When the thread is blocked, no events can be dispatched, including drawing events. From the user's perspective, the application appears to hang. Even worse, if the UI thread is blocked for more than a few seconds (about 5 seconds currently) the user is presented with the infamous "application not responding" (ANR) dialog.

Also,

It's vital to the responsiveness of your application's UI that you do not block the UI thread. If you have operations to perform that are not instantaneous, you should make sure to do them in separate threads ("background" or "worker" threads).

Several ways to access the UI thread from other threads which Android already offers to fix ANR issues are further discussed in the documentation.

A: Well turn out I had an error in my native code which was causing that ANR state.
