Why I'm Running For Lt. Governor of New York -- Jumaane Williams' MLK Speech
Jumaane D. WilliamsJanuary 17,2018
[Dr. King Day Speech]
I want to thank Salem Missionary Baptist Church and Pastor Dr. James A. Thornton for inviting me to speak today and for all the work that the Church does.
I want to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who is a personal hero of mine and has been for quite some time.
Since I was young, I've admired Dr. King and the stances that he took. The way he stood up for people who didn't feel they had a voice. The way he stood up for people who didn't feel they were empowered. The way he stood up and chose non-violence as a path. I often believe that use of non-violence as a strategy exhibits even more strength.
Realizing the times he lived in and using non-violent protest as a strategic tactic to his advantage was an amazing thing. I've been asked to reflect on the legacy of Dr. King and to me that means do what you can with what you have with where you are. Sustaining that strength with lessons from God and the Bible are also things that I believe are extremely noteworthy.
These days however it disturbs me to see that Dr. King's legacy is often sanitized and misrepresented by people who want to pick and choose little pieces that they think will serve their own agenda. Dr. King was an extraordinary leader who opposed violence but that does not mean he was consigned to be docile. His opposition to violence had nothing to do with his fierce advocacy at every turn.
To be clear, Dr. King was a disruptive righteous agitator. He was a moral revolutionary. Those that don't believe in the cause that you're fighting for, often try to attack the tactics that you're using. But it is actually the cause that didn't believe in to begin with.
There are many people who believe they want change but they don't want to do the work. They celebrate the heroes of the past and recall their words, but don't understand the meaning nor the context in which those words came about. They remember the dream but choose not to remember the fight it took to make the dream a reality. They forget the hoses that were used on those non-violent protestors. Forgetting that these dreams were often given birth inside of a jail cell.
People use misrepresentation to attack modern-day acts of protest and dissent. Let us be clear- it's not about how you dissent that bothers some people; it's the fact that you dissent at all that any many people are opposed to.
Every generation looks back on the previous generation with a different set of eyes. They mistakenly believe that if they were there during those moments of protest, they would have the fortitude to stand with the movement. They believe if they were there, they would have the courage to move forth without fear. I always make sure I use the word courage because I don't tell people not to be afraid. The most high doesn't give you the spirit of fear, but we are human. However the most high has provided us courage to move through that fear. But right now we need the strength of the moment.
The legacy of Dr. King is to keep the movement moving forward. So if you feel you would have been with the movement then, then you should be here now standing up with the people. Standing up with anyone who feels disenfranchised- with Blacks to Latinos to LGBTGNC. Hope I didn't lose Salem when I say LGBTGNC- because the Bible I read says love your neighbor as you love yourself. It didn't have an except after that. And if it has an exception, then you're probably reading the wrong bible.
Whether it is with the Me-Too movement, we should be with all of those who are standing up to have their voices heard. From Dr. King to Colin Kaepernick- all of these issues have been discussed before. The issue of who is a patriot and who isn't has been discussed before. But remember that all of those who have been on the morally right side of dissent and protest have won these arguments every single time. And they will win it again. Even with an orange crazy person in the White House.
At 12 Noon on Inauguration Day last year, I said I want to be engaged in civil disobedience and I was arrested at Trump Tower as the President was sworn in. I want to thank my colleagues State Sen. Marisol Alcantara, Council Member Carlos Menchaca, Pastor Gil Monrose and others who joined me in getting arrested. However many others disagreed with me- they thought we should wait and see what the new President does or pick another way to show our dissent.
A few days later those same people celebrated Dr. King's legacy. It is interesting that those who celebrate his fierce urgency of now will tell me not to do what I need to do to push the agenda forward.
A few days later the Women's March occurred and blew me away. A world-wide response that was amazing. But I shouldn't be amazed because if the truth be told all if these movements have succeeded due to the power of women while men go to the front to take all the credit
I'm amazed that there are those who want to pretend that Colin Kaepernick is different from Muhammad Ali. People celebrate the Greatest now but don't remember when they stripped his title and wouldn't allow him to fight. People questioned his patriotism. I'm always amazed when people cannot connect history with what is happening today.
If you don't understand why Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez and myself were arrested trying to prevent the immoral deportation of Ravi Ragbir, then this Day may not be for you.
If you don't understand the Me-Too movement, then this Day may not be for you.
If you don't understand the protests of today, then I suggest you keep the name of Martin Luther King Jr. from your lips. We will not allow you to sanitize who he was. To dismiss the revolutionary aspect of his dissension from the status quo. You cannot say you support Dr. King but want the status quo to continue.
I have to say my arrest a few days ago was the closest thing I've felt to the civil rights movement. As we kept returning to block the path of that van deporting Ravi Ragbir- you can't call it a emergency vehicle because its sirens and lights weren't being used -we were manhandled and thrown across the street. We kept coming back because it was the morally right thing to do. It is important as we move forward to talk about what is the morally right thing to do.
We did this because if you stand up, the world will take notice. If you yell, the world will listen. If you want to know the real legacy of Dr. King, question and compel the world to answer. And I know that many of us have a lot of questions. Why were we talking about justice in the 1960s the same way we are doing in 2018? Why are we talking about jobs for youth in 2018 the same way we were in the 1960s? Why are we talking about the abuses of policing now the same way we were then?
Those are questions that people have to answer.
When City commissioners would appear before me at City Council hearings, I often would ask them if they believed that young Black and Latino men were born uneducable with a genetic pre-disposition to crime. Of course they would say no- I'm not sure everyone believed that but that is a discussion for another day. So let's assume that you don't believe that- then we have to admit there is a structural problem that is causing our children to move in a certain way.
We have to acknowledge that the system is operating as it is designed to do. That the system isn't broken; it needs to be replaced. Dr. King was talking about this in the 60's and trying to replace that system. We are trying to do the same thing now in 2018. What people don't realize is how much energy it takes to move the needle. You don't move the needle by asking politely or by writing a letter to those in power and saying please.
You move the needle with moral disruption to the status quo that is unjust.
I have to always recognize that we've made progress since Dr. King's lifetime. Of course, we have some nice water fountains that work; we don't see people hanging from trees as much; but I'm always careful in recognizing the progress we've made because that could be used to legitimize the craziness that should never have been legitimized in the first place.
There is real power in protest, particularly mixed with government action. We are living in a time when it could not be more essential to recognize and exercise those powers. Government does not move unless we make them. They respond to protest. They respond to the issues we bring alive by being in those streets. I understand because I'm in the halls of government where I see my colleagues respond.
I am a member of theatre group called the Theater of War which has a great slogan- we have to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. My job inside the halls of government is to make sure that we move on what people are asking us to do that is morally correct. My job on the inside is not to test the political winds but to do what is morally right.
Dr. King once said, "A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but rather a molder of consensus." And I quote that because we often hear people saying they are a builder or molder of consensus. What they are really saying is that they do not have the courage to do what is the morally right thing to do. Dr. King was not searching for consensus; he was building and molding using the hard work it takes to find the consensus to do the morally correct and just.
We must follow his example and find the courage to take the risk that many people don't want to provide but seem to want to celebrate. We need leaders who will forcefully advocate no matter the political winds. I want to be the kind of leader who does not test the political winds. I want to be the type of leader who is creating the wind that people are responding to.
Dr. King did that many times. Even as he died fighting for the Poor People's Campaign and for the rights of sanitation workers. Even when people said his tactics wouldn't work then. Even as he fought an unpopular war in Vietnam. Many people don't remember that. He said the ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort & convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. Dr. King not only confronted controversy but was in the center of it. In 1966, some polls showed he had a 32% approval rating. That came from some in his own community. But he steadfastly moved forward with his unpopular opposition of that war and he was proven correct.
We now live in a time of challenge and controversy. Its even more important now to see where all of our leaders stand. People know that when there is something happening, I want to be on the ground to lend my voice. I've never been a stranger to challenge or to controversy. Look for me in the whirlwind and I'll be there, to quote Marcus Garvey.
We need people in government to continue to push forward for progress on numerous issues across our state. On the issue of homelessness in New York City and housing in Rochester. Gun violence in Brooklyn and Syracuse. The opioid crisis in Staten Island and Cortland. These issues are not unique to just one area.
We also need diversity in government. To have a government that represents all the people. If you look at who represents us in government from the federal level on down- the President, Vice President, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Comptroller, Mayor, City Comptroller and Speaker of the City Council-they all have one thing in common.
That lack of diversity means many of us are not represented in the highest offices of government in the State of New York.
Some ask what is the legacy of Dr. King- I believe it is doing what you can with what you have with where you are. If you can't fly, he said, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But with whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. That is the legacy of Dr. King that we have to take away from today. How are we going to move forward?
I know we can do this- not necessarily just because of the dream of Dr. King, but because I am the descendant of a slave who dreamt of freedom. I can picture his old hands moving through time to grab my face and say "I dreamed of you". We have to take our hands and move it forward for the next generation. To say to them "I see you and dream of a better world for you." To dream of a better world where these issues are resolved. We have to deliver that to them.
And I know that we have the strength to do that. Where does it come from? From a woman who lost her son to gun violence perpetrated by someone who looked like her son or someone wearing blue who was scared of her son. The pain looks painfully the same. Where does she find the strength? It comes from her loved ones who are making her push forward. It comes from the ancestors that push us.
Where do we find the strength? It comes from the legacy of people like Martin, Malcolm, Fannie Lou Hamer, Sophie Scholl from the White Rose, Viola Liuzzo, Harvey Milk, Steven Biko, Nelson Mandela, Yuri Kochiyama and Patrice Lumumba.
It's that legacy where you find the strength. It's the pain that we feel our entire lives. That led me to Salem today and realize that I'm not alone. Where do find the strength? It's not me, but from the God that I serve and Psalm 37:25 that says "I've never seen the righteous betrayed or the young people not have bread". From James 2:14-26 that says "faith without works is death".
Where do we find the strength? It's not me- that's where we become confused. It is us; it's not I, it is we. It is all the people gathered here today. From Black women in Alabama to the people in Salem today. That's where the strength comes from. We have to keep moving forward. If you can't fly, then run. If you cannot run, your job is to walk. If you cannot walk, your job is to crawl to that moral arc of justice. And on that last day when the most high calls you, in you last gesture point the way for the next generation to move forward on that arc. And as they walk by you, the last thing you hear is "Good job. Thank you. I got it from here."
Do what you can with what you have wherever you are. That is the legacy of Dr. King.
I take this very seriously. I try to do the best I can in the New York City Council and I feel it is time to do even more. So I was excited when Salem invited me to speak today and I thought it was fitting that I announce that I'm moving forward.
Today I'm announcing that I'm forming an exploratory committee towards the possibility of running for the office of Lieutenant Governor of the State of New York.
I've seen elected officials who quote Dr. King but don't move in his movements, that don't have his courage. One of the most common acts of protest is marching. Dr. King led marches in Chicago, Selma and D.C. Marching shows our strength when many are united for a common purpose and our resolve to press on. To blaze a trail where we could not previously go but we know we have to go.
The people together will never be divided. The people together marching for what we hold dear and know is right. Join me on this path of progress in the march for justice. For resources we need access to from a system that purports to keep us safe. For affordable housing and healthcare. For a New York and a nation that holds true to its promise of progress and freedom and equity.
Join me on this path forward on this Dr. King Day. We will win this fight. We will beat the crazy orange man in the White House. We will move forward to the end and find the bottom of that arc of justice. We will be there.

How to use code profiling to review code that does not have unit tests and add those tests to the code.
First of all, you need a naming convention for your unit test. I don't much care what it is. I mean, I have an opinion or two on the matter, but for the purpose of this article and this technique, you just need to pick something and stick with it. Today, I'm going to go with a Should_ExpectedBehavior_When_StateUnderTest pattern as it lends itself well to this technique.
When we profile the class, we change our naming convention from Should_ExpectedBehavior_When_StateUnderTest to Does_ObservedBehavior_When_StateUnderTest. The key difference here is the "Does" instead of the "Should". The point is to clearly identify these as tests that were written after encountering untested code and are based on observed behavior.
For this particular class, we notice that both StateCode and StateName have getters and setters and that the StateName is optional in the constructor whereas StateCode is required. This is.... odd.

'Dream come true': Shea Patterson has no regrets after final game at Michigan Stadium

'Dream come true': Shea Patterson has no regrets after final game at Michigan Stadium This wasn't how Shea Patterson saw his career at Michigan ending at home.

Angelique S. Chengelis, The Detroit News Published 8:27 p.m. ET Nov. 30, 2019 | Updated 4:56 a.m. ET Dec. 1, 2019
Ann Arbor — This wasn't how Shea Patterson saw his career at Michigan ending at home.
Patterson, who transferred from Ole Miss nearly two years ago, decided last December to return to Michigan rather than take a shot at professional football because of the way the regular season ended at Ohio Stadium. The Wolverines were walloped 62-39.

A year later, he was 18-of-43 for 305 yards one touchdown, an interception and a fumble in a 56-27 loss to Ohio State on Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Patterson was 4-of-24 for 55 yards in the second half, but his stats were largely undermined by nearly double-digit dropped passes.
He played well against the Buckeyes despite the second-half numbers and had his third-straight 300-yard passing game. Patterson threw for 384 yards against Michigan State and 366 last week against Indiana. He finished the regular season with 2,828 yards.
"The first half when we came out firing and things were rolling offensively, it's very frustrating not to be able to get this win," said Patterson, who suffered his first loss at home as Michigan's starter. "I just love my teammates, and I love my coaches and I love everything about this university. So yeah, it's very frustrating."
Patterson grew up in Toledo and came to Michigan home games as a kid. He has said on multiple occasions how much it has meant to him to play for the Wolverines.
"From Day 1 it's been a dream come true to come play football for the University of Michigan," Patterson said. "I wouldn't change anything, (except) obviously the outcome of this game. I wouldn't want to go to war with anybody else other than the guys in that locker room each and every single week, those coaches, so much respect for those guys and this university.
"It's something I'll cherish and I'll remember for a very long time, putting on the maize and blue. Just very thankful."

The climate in Colombia: What should I pack for my trip?
HomeBlogThe climate in colombia: what should i pack for my trip?
What should I pack for my trip through Colombia?
This question cannot be answered without taking into consideration your travel route. Due to the geography and topography of Colombia, the country has a lot of different climates and thus requires different clothes and accessories to be comfortable everywhere.
Colombia has sunny Caribbean beaches, tropical and humid rainforests, dry deserts, hot plains, cold and humid Páramo landscapes and snow-capped mountains in the Andes. You might only know the tropical forests and warm coast climate - but it actually can get quite cold higher up the Andes.
The Colombian people generally distinguish between 'tierra caliente', 'tierra templada' and 'tierra fría' - the warm, temperate and cold zones of the country. Within the different zones, the temperature only varies slightly during the year thanks to the proximity to the equator. The climate is mostly influenced by altitude. There are no marked seasons like spring, summer, autumn, and winter in Colombia, instead the year is divided in a rainy season and a dry season.
In the following, we will describe the different areas of Colombia, with tips on what to pack. Compare these with your travel route and you'll know what to you'll need to bring for your trip!
In the northmost part of Colombia, you will find the Guajira desert with a very dry landscape that creates an intriguing contrast to the Caribbean sea. Surprisingly, Colombia also has a desert at over 1.000 m a.s.l.: the Tatacoa. It lies in between two of the Andean mountain ranges. Both deserts are very beautiful landscapes and - if you have the time - worth a visit.
As you can imagine these landscapes are very dry and hot. Temperature ranges between 25 °C and 35 °C (77°F - 95 °F) normally but extreme temperatures are not uncommon. On very hot days temperatures up to 40° C (104°F) can occur.
If you are considering a trip or excursions to the deserts remember to pack enough water and stay hydrated!
Part of the savanna are the plains and hills west of the Guajira desert, including the Caribbean coast. Cartagena and Barranquilla, as well as the Sierra Nevada, Tayrona and Santa Marta have a very similar climate, which is characterized by a dry and a rainy season. The same climate of the savanna you will find in the plains east of the Andes.
The temperature in the savanna ranges from 24°C to 32°C (75 °F to 90°F) daily. The time from May to November are the months of the rainy season. From December to April, during the dry season, you'll get very little rainfall.
The savanna is quite warm, so you can generally bring your summer clothes (shorts and top/ shirt). For the coast, we recommend packing a light scarf and sweatshirt for the sea breeze. The Caribbean coast offers a lot of stunning beaches to go swimming or taking a sunbath, so do not forget to bring swimwear, as well as sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. During the rainy season in the savanna, you should also take a light raincoat with you and an umbrella.
The Amazon region in the southwest of Colombia and the Chocó at the Pacífic coast count with the typical green luscious rainforest. The jungles are amazing for bird watching and for feeling a little adventurous.
The rainforest is characterized by an equatorial climate which is humid and hot throughout the entire year. Normally rain showers happen during the afternoon in form of thunderstorms or literal downpours. The temperatures are high and range from 23°C to 32°C (73°F to 90°F).
For the rainforest, it is recommended to bring loose fitting clothes out of breathable materials like cotton and linen. Although the heat and humidity in the tropical forest can be straining, you should think about long sleeves to protect your skin from mosquitos. Travelers should also pack anti-mosquito products, like sprays for skin and clothes. For the rainfalls bring a light sweatshirt and raincoat.
In the lower part of the Andean mountain range between 1.000 and 2.000 m a.s.l. (3280 ft. and 6560 ft.) lie cities like Medellín, Calí, and San Gil. Medellín is also called the city of the eternal spring - the climate in this regions is not as extreme as in the aforementioned regions and possibly explain the attractiveness to tourists.
In these altitudes, travelers will be greeted with spring-like weather. Colombians refer to these regions as 'tierra templada' - the temperate zones. Usually, it is between 17°C and 30°C (62°F and 86°F). The weather is sunny interspersed with some rain showers.
During the day it is possible to go out in shirts and shorts or light long trousers. In the evening you'll need a sweater and long trousers. As it can start raining anytime, we recommend bringing a light rain jacket and an umbrella. Also, we propose sunscreen and a hat during the day - although the sun might not feel strong, it definitely is.
Bogotá and the Páramo landscapes are numbered among the higher Andean regions. From 2.000 m a.s.l. (6560 ft.) you will find beautiful cloud forests with ferns and vines, from 3.500 m a.s.l. (11480 ft.) you will see the parámos, a high mountain moorland with scrubs and cactuses. Of these altitudes not only the vegetation is peculiar - the wilderness is inhabited by many animals like bears, condors, eagles, and deer. These areas are dubbed 'tierra fría'.
Under 3.000 m.a.s.l. (9842 ft.) it can already be quite cold. In Bogotá at night it can be as cold as 7°C (45°F) and at daytimes, it varies between 13°C up to 22°C (72°F). Sometimes the weather changes in minutes from sun to rain - don't be surprised.
Above 3.000 m a.s.l. (9842 ft.) it is usually humid and cold, the average temperature range between 6°C (42°F)and 12°C (53°F). When it is windy it can get really freezing.
Living in Bogota we experience on many days that it is sunny and warm in the mornings and in some afternoons as well but as soon as the clouds cover the sun you will need a sweater or a jacket and depending on possible rainfalls an umbrella as well. The temperature can drop around 10°C (50°F) within just 10 minutes so we recommend always to have a sweater with you and if you know you're going to be outside in the late afternoon or night, a light jacket as well. Although Bogota seems to be quite cold you can easily get sunburned because the sun at this altitude is very strong, even when it is clouded.
For a visit to a Páramo, you should bring a thicker rain jacket and good hiking boots or even rubber boots.
Above 4.000 meters (13.123 ft.) of the Andes there are snowy landscapes, mysterious rock formations, and pristine lakes. Examples for these zones are the Cocuy National Park and the National Natural Park Los Nevados with peaks over 5.000 m a.s.l. (16404 ft.). The altitude will make it difficult to breathe when visiting.
The temperatures are very cold below 6°C (42°F). The sun in these altitudes can be very strong and might give the impression it is warmer. Rain and snowfalls are possible.
For a trip to these parks, you will need hiking clothes and sturdy shoes. Depending on the weather we recommend taking warm long clothes, a thick (down) jacket (water and windproof), hat, gloves and a scarf. Sunglasses will protect you from the sun rays and the bright reflection of the snow. Sunscreen also is essential.


Stuck on what to give your 1-year-old? Check out these 9 gift ideas that will keep him entertained!
Are you trying to find just the right gift to mark the meaningful first birthday? Whether you're shopping for a friend's baby or looking for an amazing gift for your own little one, the best gifts for a 1-year-old are not only entertaining but also educational. By providing a 1-year-old with the toys that are best for his age range, you'll be helping develop his gross and fine motor skills.
"Kids between the ages of 12 and 24 months are at a turning point in their development," says Marissa DiBartolo, a senior editor of The Toy Insider. "Typically, toys for kids ages 1 to 2 are very gender-neutral and focused on vibrant color palettes, engaging textures and stimulating sounds -- all of which help with sensory and motor skill development." Some toys for little ones are obvious, such as blocks. "Blocks facilitate fine motor development and hand-eye coordination and start introducing mathematical concepts such as patterns, numbers and shapes," says Meryl Neiman, a play expert and advocate and co-founder of Playdate Planet.
Get building! Toys like the Green Toys Stacker are a great gross motor activity. When choosing a stacker, look for one that's meant for your child's age so it won't cause frustration. When your baby is not in the mood for stacking, he'll have fun with the brightly colored pieces on their own.
There's a reason this is adoctor's office staple: it's perfect for kids of all ages. The Melissa & Doug First Bead Maze is a great way to let your 1-year-old play with small objects without worrying about choking. Working with small items will help your infant develop fine motor skills and also helps with shape and color recognition.
Pretend toys, such as the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Learning Kitchen, get little imaginations going! Toys that facilitate make-believe let your little one's creativity soar, or he can pretend to be just like Mom and whip up a feast.
Heart, star, square -- help your baby can learn them all. Sorter toys help develop recognition of shapes and colors while also encouraging hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and fine and gross motor skill development. The Tupperware Shape-O Toy also doubles as a rattle and ball, sure to provide hours of fun.
"Some of the best toys to buy for this age group are ones that transition," says DiBartolo. Plan Toys Baby Walker helps get little ones up on their feet, and the handle adjusts to your walker's growing height. Using a push toy to aide in walking helps your 1-year-old practice moving on his own while reducing the chance of falls.
Introduce your baby to his first best friend: the Gund My First Teddy comes in a variety of sizes and comes in pink or blue. A plush toy gives your child a chance to practice emotional awareness and offers comforting snuggles in the dark.
Even babies can benefit from brain teasers. Puzzles help children with their dexterity, problem solving and encourage fine motor skills. Bright colors like those found on the Melissa & Doug First Shapes Knob Puzzle stimulate the senses, and wooden knobs make it easy for small hands to manipulate.
Try a wooden set, such as Hape's Maple Blocks, for endless opportunities for free-form play and lasting durability.
Start your child's love of reading at an early age! Not only are board books nearly indestructible, but children learn language skills by trying to decipher what the pictures and words on the book mean. Touch-and-feel books like "Pat the Bunny" have different textures on each page so your baby can interact with books in more ways than one.
When choosing gifts for a 1-year-old, look for toys that help develop their sensory and motor skills, but don't make it overly complicated. "Play is how babies and children learn," explains Neiman. "Play is critical to every aspect of a child's healthy development: social, emotional, intellectual and physical. The best toys are often the simplest because then the child controls the play."

There will be warm sunshine through most of the day. Later in the afternoon we may see a little more cloud around and this brings a risk of the odd thundery shower, but most places will be staying dry. Maximum temperature 24 °C.
Another warm and dry day for most, but a small chance of an isolated shower in places at first. Maximum temperature 23 °C.
Staying bright and very warm on Wednesday, with some heavy, thundery showers. Cooler through the rest of the week, with further showers, some heavy, but a few bright spells too.

"The Solution of a Difficult Clinical Case"


Hello. I am Larry Lee, System Engineer for 3D Time-of-Flight Sensors at Texas Instruments. This video is session three of the series titled getting started with 3D time-of-flight sensors. In this video, I will discuss parameters impacting system performance and how one can trade them off to maximize performance at different operating points. The depth accuracy is a function of many parameters, probably best summarized by this equation. Analyzing it, one can see that to achieve hi-def accuracy or low sigma, one would want high modulation frequency-- f-- high modulation contrast-- C sub d-- high magnitude of received light-- A. On the flip side, high offset-- B-- reduces accuracy. Now A, B, and modulation contrast C sub d are all long parameters. Let's now look into the components that make up these parameters. The amplitude A is the receiving intensity from the reflection. Greater the A, greater the accuracy. To boost A, higher illumination power can be applied. But that comes at a cost of increased power consumption and heat. The light intensity has a one over d squared relationship with the distance. And that is just for one way. And it is impacted by the target's reflectivity. The illuminating power is spread over the scene, so larger the FOV will also reduces A. Lens and filter also play an important role in light collection. The net from low quality lens will impact the intensity, especially around the edges. The medium over which light transmits is also a factor. Higher modulation voltage will also increase the full electron collection efficiency. Therefore, indirectly increases A. Higher integration time or exposure time also increases A, as A leads to greater number of photoelectrons collected. But increasing integration period will also reduce the maximum frame rate. The offset B is largely due to two factors-- ambient light and dark current. The lower the B, the greater the accuracy. High ambient density, such as sunny outdoor conditions can lead to saturation. Filters that reduces or eliminates spectrum outside of near IR, which is 850 nanometers to about 870 nanometers, can help reduce saturation. But sunlight has plenty of energy in an IR spectrum to cause saturation if care is not taken. The offset B is also temperature dependent, as dark current is caused by free electron in the sensor from thermal energy. High temperature can lead to more free electrons that can be collected during the modulation. Introducing E effect, a slow varying phase offset. This is why TI Solution offers built-in temperature compensation. The modulation frequencies defines how fast the illumination and photon [INAUDIBLE] are switched. Higher the modulation frequency, the better the resolution. But higher modulation frequency come at a cost of higher power consumption. The effect of modulation contrast is a unitless parameter between 0 to 1. There are two modulation contrast parameters to consider-- one related to illumination, the other related to time-of-flight sensor. For illumination, modulation contrast defines how fast the illuminator can switch the light on and off. As frequency goes past the roll-off frequency, the switch ability will begin to wane, resulting in optical power attenuation. Typical NIR LED has a roll-off frequency of about 20 megahertz. Laser has order of magnitude higher roll-off frequency. So in this case of laser illumination, modulation contrast is sensor limited at around 100 megahertz. There are additional parameters that can influence depth sensing quality. Here is an expanded equation showing the quantum efficiency-- which defines how efficient the sensor can convert light energy into electrical energy-- and also pixel area. Larger the area, more photon can be collected. But this is at the expense of a larger silicon die area. And finally, nonlinearity, which could come from several sources, including the harmonics. Clearly, to perform trade-offs, one must know a lot about different components of the system-- including sensors, illumination, optics, and power supply-- as well as the application requirements-- such as maximum distance, depth and spatial resolution, power, and cost budget. The complexity can quickly become intractable. But rest easy. TI has developed a tool to help you perform the trade-offs. The tool runs on Windows and can freely be download from TI website at the URL shown. Now I will show you an example of how to use this tool. In this example, we are asked to determine if 3D time-of-flight sensor can be used to analyze free throw. Their requirements are-- track the ball's trajectory and determine if the ball went through the hoop. We know that free throw line is about 4.19 meters from the hoop. The rim height is about 3.05 meters, and diameter is about 0.46 meter. We also know that the court width is 15 meter. And the ball width is about 0.238 meter. Other decisions we need to make include decide where to mount the time-of-flight camera. We can mount it on the court side or the rim side. For court-side mount, the ball will largely travel in the image plane at a relative constant range of 7.5 meter, or half the court's width. That means the extra resolution is most critical. Also, the court-side mount camera is fixed to the floor, so there should be little to no vibration. For rim-side mount, the ball will travel largely along the optical axis of the camera, with only small x-y position variation. Instead, the depth variation will be large-- from about 0.5 meter to 5 meter. As the ball gets closer, increasing larger percentage of the image area will be covered by the ball. In this scenario, the z resolution is the most critical. And also, the vibration is a concern, since the camera is likely fixed to the goal. Given this device is likely used by professional sports team, they are probably less cost-sensitive but more driven by performance. That means we can use high quality lens and illumination. Also, power source is not a constraint because the device will most likely draw power from an AC outlet. OK with the ground work we did, we're now ready to apply the system designer tool. In this example, I will follow the court-side configuration. That means a nominal range of about 7.5 meter. For this, I will choose the long range profile and OPT 8241 as the sensor. And I would choose laser with diffuser as my illumination. I will also choose the alias enable, which will automatically make the quant number to become 6. And I will leave the rest of it-- HDR ratio, bin number, and the row and column-- as they are. The center pane contain most of the application requirements. First, we need to set the maximum range, which I will set it to about 8.5 meter. This will give me some room to allow the ball to drift up about a meter from the center line. Next, I will set the depth resolution, which need to be about half the difference between the ball diameter and the rim diameter. And that number turned out to be about 50 millimeter. I also notice at short distance, I have some pixel saturation, so I will reduce the shortest distance one meter. That means the ball will not get any closer than one meter to the camera. The field of view required can be computed based on the free throw line distance and half of the court width. The result says FOV must be at least 31.2 degrees. But we need to budget wider field of view to give some margin. For this example, we will use a 45 degree field of view. The rest of the parameters we'll leave as is. The right pane contains the output of the tool, which describe the system we will need to implement to realize the desired performance. The most notable is the average and peak optical power in the top right hand corner. The x-y resolution defines the smallest object we can see at the maximum distance. The rest are signal strength, noise and power number and lens parameter that tell us something about the lens that we will have to purchase or implement. Note-- notice that if any of the numbers show up in red, that means the device rating has been violated and must be fixed. And you'll have to come back here and iterate some of these numbers, make changes. Also, if the power is too high, the heat dissipation may become a challenge, which means you will have to reiterate to fix that as well. The bottom panes are for graphing. They allow you to plot up to three inputs against one output and generate the graphs accordingly. Congratulation. You have just completed session 3 of this video series. Now you know the key parameters impacting 3D Time-of-Flight sensor performance and how to use the system designer tool to help you perform the trade-offs. In the next couple of sessions, we'll dive into the topic of calibration. If you are ready to get started, please contact your local TI sales representative or distributor for pricing and availability. For any general sales questions, you can send them to support@ti.com. For technical information, visit the TI time-of-flight front page or check out the E2E forum for optical sensors. Finally, for software development, check out the VoxelSDK on github.com.
In this video we will learn how various design parameters impact system performance; and how they can be traded off to maximize performance under different operating conditions.

Many people were killed as a result of a gas explosion at Sabon Tasha in Kaduna metropolis on Saturday afternoon.
Scene of the Kaduna gas explosion
There was confusion in the Sabon Tasha area of Kaduna State on Saturday following a gas explosion.
The gas explosion occurred on business premises located along Kachia Road, Sabon Tasha, in Chikun Local Government Area between 2.30pm and 3.00pm according to eyewitnesses.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said more than five persons were killed in the incident.
"Red Cross officials used shovels to evacuate body parts of victims," he said.
Our correspondent, who was at the scene of the explosion, gathered that Professor Simon Mallam, Chairman of Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission, was feared killed in the explosion which shattered the windows of residential homes in the area.
It was learnt that the Professor had taken his grandson to a barber's shop close to where a retail gas outlet is located when the incident happened and was feared killed.
However, the fate of the Professor's grandson was uncertain as of the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Government has expressed concern over the unfortunate incident, vowing to investigate the cause of the explosion.
The State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, who spoke to reporters at the scene of the incident, said the explosion would be investigated.
The Kaduna State Fire Service, the Red Cross Society group, officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps as well as men of the state security outfit code-named 'Operation Yaki' partook in the rescue of victims.
Our correspondent observed that the impact of the explosion shattered windows of nearby residential buildings as well as business premises around the area while the loud sound of the explosion was heard several kilometres away.

Sastha and Buddha: Buddhist Vestiges in Southern Western Ghats of Kerala
Buddhist vestige at Kallupacha, RPL Estate, Kulathupuzha. Carved into a fine granite boulder with three doorways
The western foothills of the southern ranges in the Western Ghats are known for ancient and popular Sastha Temples of Kerala. Sabarimala, Achankovil, Ariankavu, Kulathupuzha and Sasthamkotta are prominent Dharma Sastha or Ayyappa temples located in and around this region. Their proximity to the Tamil Country in the east and Malakootam or Malaya Kootam/Parvatham (Now Agasthya Kootam) in the south are remarkable. Malaya Kootam is still called Pothiyil Mala (variation of Boddhiyil Mala) and it was also called Pothalaka in Buddhist lore, the seat of the Avalokiteswara Boddhisatva. It is a ghat region revered by the Hindus and the Buddhists alike.
Kattalapara Buddhist vestige. near Shenduruny sanctuary, Kulathupuzha. Abandoned due to poor stone quality. Now three doorways are worshiped as representing Hindu, Christian and Islamic religions
Dharma Sastha is a synonym for the Buddha. Ayyappan is an Avalokiteswaran later Hinduized and appropriated by Brahmanism in the early middle ages as an offspring born out of the Siva-Vishnu union. The metamorphosis of this deity through the violent conflicts and negotiations involving Vajrayana (Tantric Buddhism) Saivism and Vaishnavism is evident in the legend. In the Tamil Country Pali words Ayyan, Appan, Achan, Ayyappan and Puthan refer to the enlightend one at least from BC third century.
Kottukal rock cut temple, near Anchal.
Vajrayana used various Avalokiteswaras and Boddhisatva idols with consorts to popularize the cult and it was easy for Brahmanism to appropriate it overnight. Like the Buddha Nilakandha temple of Nepal or the Padmanabha temple of Thiruvananthapuram the Ayyappa temples were easily modified into Hindu Brahmanical ones. Some scholars also argue that Tantric Buddhism itself was a clever deviation made by the Brahmanical usurpers who joined the Buddhist Sangha for the gradual sabotage as the basic teachings of the compassionate one challenged Brahmanism and caste.
Ariankavu Ayyappa temple at the eastern end of Kollam pass close to Tamilakam
The Buddhist rock cut vestiges in and around the Kulathupuzha forests prove the early presence of missionaries in the Kollam pass well before the advent of the common era. It can be assumed that they entered the western slopes of the Western Ghats through the Ariankavu pass and established their Pallys and Pallykootams in the lower foothills. The rock cut constructions in Kallupacha in RPL estate in Kulathupuzha and Kattalapara close to the Shenduruny sanctuary are still surviving relics of early Buddhist rock architecture.
The same architectural pattern and style of carving are found in the rock temple at Kottukal near Anchal. As the first two vestiges are inside plantations and forests they are almost in abandoned state but the Kottukal rock cut temple is modified into a Siva temple by later Saivism that entered Kerala in the 8th and 9th centuries. It also shows remarkable resemblance to Kaviyur rock temple near Thiruvalla and Kallil Jain temple near Perumbavur.

It is interesting to note that the bigger shrines close to important mountain routes and the popular ones were transformed into bigger Hindu temples while the smaller vestiges and rock carvings were neglected and forgotten in the jungle. On June 1, 2011 the Hindu published an article on the report of Dr Rajendran an archeologist who surveyed the region. According to him these vestiges are related to early Buddhism that reached Kerala in the last centuries of BC era and the whole Ariankavu, Kulathupuzha, Ponmudi belt still holds the relics of this early Buddhist cultural intervention.
Mahamaya/Mayadevi in Kulthupuzha in classic Yakshi stance with a mirror in hand and leaning onto a tree. Mahamaya is the mother of Buddha who is the central deity in Kilirur and Neelamperur
According to Dr Rajendran Malsya Mudra or fish signs are identified in the carving sites that prove the Buddhist identity of the makers. In Kulathupuzha fish-feeding is also an important ritual that is still practiced showing the Buddhist conservationist spirit of the shrine. Such practices of conservation are still sustaining in many temples all over Kerala as in Thriprayar in Thrissur district. Naga deities and Mahamaya (mother of the Buddha) idol are also worshiped in Kulathupuzha.
Naga deities in Kulathupuzha Sastha temple
I visited the region on 18th and 19th May 2012 and got the opportunity to see and experience the unique ecology and cultural traces related to the ancient conservationist traditions of Kerala. The Thenmala eco-tourism project and rivers Kallada and Kallar along with the numerous life forms offer plenty of learning experiences for the seeking.

Replacing those failing U-Joints will retain the flexibility your front and rear driveshafts need so they do not become over-stressed and break. Some even prefer to swap out the still-capable factory U-Joints for a heavier duty one that will absorb all off-road punishment. This can be a must should the vehicle have a suspension lift added. In addition, changing out the pinion yoke will help alleviate seal damage and fluid leaks. Many times, a Slip Yoke Eliminator (SYE) kit is recommended for suspension-lifted vehicles.

Legends of Tomorrow's Phil Klemmer On The Possibility of Other Planets, The Multiverse, And Rip Hunter's Chalkboard
By Russ Burlingame - September 6, 2017 07:46 am EDT
During our recent visit to the set of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, ComicBook.com joined a small group of reporters who spoke with showrunner Phil Klemmer about the series, which debuts on The CW Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Klemmer couldn't say much -- and sometimes we asked about things that hadn't even come up yet, like Rip Hunter's chalkboard from the comics -- but we did manage to get a few straight answers out of him.
Legends of Tomorrow will travel through time. Will they also travel through worlds now that multiverse have been introduced on The Flash?
No, that's their purview. If we travel between planets, they will be actual planetary bodies and not metaphysical versions of Earth.
I think time travel alone is enough to tax our puny, humanist brains, so multiple Earths is more than we can handle.
So we do have the possibility of other planets in our solar system?
Yeah. I imagine that the space that we travel through is the space that's really out there...because I do believe that there are things out there. [Laughs]
There's a number of planets in the DC universe that are populated. Might we see Thanagar?
Our season, the Earth is in such dire jeopardy that for us to sort of take it upon ourselves to start being the galactic police is probably more than we can handle. Yeah. It's not just about time travel.
It's really sort of focusing on the, you know, historical events of the 20th century. We're not going to be going back and seeing dinosaurs and Roman gladiators and that stuff – we're really focusing on 20th century – I mean, you know, not yet.
When you don't have ownership over characters like Oliver... What kind of conversations are you trying to negotiate with Andrew and Marc?
The interesting thing about the show is that they leave 2016...the idea is to travel through time, vanquish Vandal Savage and return to the moment you left. So if you do that successfully, nobody knows you're gone, the world continues. The only variable that's been changed is Vandal's gone. But the problem is in doing so, you change millions of other variables.
Part of the fun of the show is you have the uber mission, stopping Vandal, but then you have the missions that you sort of accidentally, unwittingly caused, the idea that if I accidentally in Cold War Russian left the Soviets know that they lose, if I drop a piece of tech in battlefield at World War II, you can create your own sort of disturbances in time and then you also have to go back and correct that. Until you return to 2016, it's like, you know...
Part of the fun is screwing things up, to see the consequences of our team's actions. But as long as you have a time machine, you have the ability to counteract whatever you've done wrong. That's a long way of saying we get a huge amount of latitude because we f**k up the world of Arrow and The Flash as long as we're not f**king up the world of their show in 2016, the episodes that are taking place right now. Because presumably, we can also right the ship.
Will we get to see these fractured timelines, what the world could have been like?
Yeah. One of the tech elements of the show is we have a version of Gideon, the computer from The Flash, where it's 2166 version of Gideon that can extrapolate our effect on the timeline and sort of ship like... What are the seeing stones in Lord of the Rings? Whatever. It's a version of the Polaroid in Back to the Future. We're able to use this computer to tell us what we've done and gives us sort of a glimpse into the future to know the consequences of our actions.
How has it been bringing Caity Lotz back?
It's crazy. At New York Comic-Con, that shot of her coming out of the Lazarus Pit with her awesome deltoids, people lose their minds! We're kind of a little inside, so you don't know really how the rest of the world feels about things. But when you see things like that, it's amazing.
I really like this version of her in our show because she is just so lost and haunted, like the sort of assassin or like a samurai without a master. When we find her on our show, she is gone to the ends of the Earth, just trying to find herself or disappear. She's just such a tragic character. And even though she's badass, her stories for me are all about her trying to find human connection and to get back what she lost when she was resurrected.
I really like the idea that being brought back in the Lazarus Pit, that blood has to be repaid with blood, that there's something missing from her, but to give her that sort of possibility of redemption and have that be in the form of love, romantic or finally finding a surrogate family within our team as motley a crew as they are. There's something really sweet about – it's kind of like a family story, just because, I mean, Snart is an abused kid, Rory burns his house down, Stein and Clarissa never had kids, Ray lost his fiancée. Everybody comes in with just, like, a little hole in their person. A lot of baggage, but beneath all of the power and bluster and humor, everybody's really in need. I almost feel like The Waverider's kind of like a time-traveling halfway home, where you have these people who kick ass and they want to save the world, but they're also there to get their lives back together.
What is the main difference that fans should come to expect for White Canary vs. Black Canary?
I always get nervous. I feel when Sara has a send-off from her sister in our pilot -- each of our characters sort of goes to the person; their one sort of touchstone -- they go to the person who's their emotional sounding board, and her moment is obviously with her sister. When everybody leaves on the Waverider and they travel in time, I think the presumption is that they might not be returning or may not be successful in this. It's heavy. It's like going off to war.
So, when her sister says goodbye, I think she wants Sara to live in the light, and to find a purpose. I think she's moved beyond the League of Assassins, and she's trying to find a way of living in the world that doesn't involve cutting people's throats.
How do you maintain stakes on a show where half your cast has come back from the dead and the other half have time travel sitting right there if they die?
You can't do that on our show, though. I was explaining to those guys, that we do – we introduce a rule that you're able to go forward or backward in time, but one thing that you can't do is to hit the rewind button on events that you participate in.
It's not like Groundhog Day, where you could endlessly do something again and again and again and again, until you get it right. If you screw it up, and if it ends with somebody dying, a member of our team -- which, people will die on this show -- you're not able to just be, like, "Well, that sucked. Let's try it again!" I agree that that would take a lot of the intensity out of the story, if you had that ability, and that's why we took it away. We want people to be dead for good when they buy the farm.
Do any of the team members want to use time travel to alter their own paths?
Definitely. Totally. Yeah. I mean, that's really the fun of this show, because – yeah. I mean, you do have the Uber-mission, but there's a lot of downtime, and if you're exploring your own past, and you know who wins the Super Bowl, or you know that your mom's gonna get in a car wreck…you could be at the book depository in Dallas in November 1963. It's hard to resist the urge to do what you think is right for either the world, or do what's right for yourself or your loved ones.
Rip Hunter is a Time Master, spent his whole career trying to preserve the timeline. He understands that it's never as simple as it seems, and for every one variable you change, there's a trillion unforeseen consequences down the road, and some of them – killing Hitler could result in something even worse happening, conceivably, so he tries to tell our team to resist the urge, as crazy as it sounds. Of course they're not gonna do that.
How do you deal with an immortal character, as writers?
We wanted to get under the mechanics of his immortality, because before you can stop his power, you have to understand from where it arrived. The fun of that is – I guess I lied to you guys, I said that we didn't really travel too far back in time, but we will go back to the origin story of ancient Egypt, to understand how Vandal was originally affected, and yeah. There's always a loophole, with anybody's powers. There's always an Achilles heel, and he's no different. But, yeah. We'll obviously require a bit of a miracle.
Can you can talk about the dynamic of the team and how they will function as a unit?
I think it sort of speaks to how formidable of an opponent Vandal Savage is, that you need this number and variety of heroes to go toe-to-toe with him. I like to think of our show as, like, The Dirty Dozen or Inglorious Basterds or The Great Escape. You always need a Charles Bronson on your team. You need somebody who will do just the dirtiest of dirty work, because if it were just a bunch of Ray Palmers, probably nobody would do the unspeakable acts.
But when you have Snart, he does them just for fun. I like characters like that, because you get to get under the pathology, and just try to understand, like "Why does Mick Rory do that? Why does Leonard Snart?" It's not like villains are born. Of course they're done wrong by the world, or the people who love them. They're broken, pathetic little creatures underneath their bluster and violence. I find them totally fascinating. As fascinating as any other hero.

Poompuhar Craft Cafe is a joint venture of Sanskrriti gifts and Poompuhar handicrafts, started one month ago. The beautifully decorated cafe is located right next to the Poompuhar showroom at Mount Road, Chennai. It seems this place was a dump yard earlier, but now it has been transformed into a wonderful cafe! The ambiance is awesome with Poompuhar's handicraft products all along the way & generous bamboo installations.
Yesterday, they had invited a bunch of us for a blogger's meet. So me and my wife (yes she has a blog now too) went there to explore the food and meet with the management team. It seems they serve vegetarian, healthy, almost-homemade South Indian food from 4 P.M. to 10 P.M. – for now. They are open if people want to organize private parties during lunch time.
You can shop @ Poompuhar and eat here or you can eat here and shop @ Poompuhar. They are open to both 😛 Here are a couple of photos to show you the wonderful ambiance that's been created inside.
It is all good. When you write about these places, please mention what is the "damage" to the pockets, for 2 people. Then only rich, not so rich, ordinary people can decide if they can afford to go there. It does not look good if they go there, see the menu with price, and decide they cannot afford it.
Glad your bride has a blog of her own. Will look into it.
The meals plate shown above, for example, costs Rs. 350. I didn't see the menu card here. Will try to note down some prices to give the range in future..
Good to see so many of you together. Since they have turned around a junk place into a profit making venture, if they do good, they can earn good margins there.
The location is perfect, once the Metro becomes operational. I hope they make good margins and support more craftspeople.
Thank you for introducing this new eating place that seems to serve delectable food in an aesthetic ambiance.Your writeup was as usual crisp and concise.
Seems a nice place. Am curious if you all did buy something?
The ambiance is so inviting with artworks and graceful sculptures around… the dining area looks neat with the floral gifts decorating the wall/shelves. Glad you all got to meet at such wonderful place. Lovely photos!
Place looks very nice. Must go there one of these days. Any place to park?
Yes, since the metro work is going on now, there is abundant parking in front of the premises.
Come to India frequently or find out blogger meets happening there. I am sure bloggers meet in your city too.

NHK is reporting this new admission as coming from the late plant manager Masao Yoshida. He discussed problems with getting desperately needed equipment to the plant during the meltdowns.
TEPCO sent batteries needed to try to operate control room equipment without any notice of the size or voltage of the batteries. Most batteries were too heavy to carry. Workers had to waste time sorting through the batteries to find ones that were usable. Yoshida also noted that many of the supplies were stuck 50km from the plant. After radiation levels rose they were unable to get supplies delivered. This required workers at the plant to drive the 50km to go retrieve them.
This new admission shows the dire situation they were under at the plant. It also shows flaws in the current safety response plans in Japan and elsewhere. Japan's Oi nuclear plant has built a response plan that involved needing helicopters to deliver equipment. They had done nothing to assure they even had a contractor to fly in equipment let alone done anything to assure anyone would risk themselves to make such deliveries. The US FLEX response, a similar undertaking to try to plan a response also fails this test. No one is determining who would deliver in needed equipment even if radiation levels become dangerous. Anyone delivering to a plant would need not just a sense of purpose but also some radiation protection training and protective equipment such as radiation suits and respirators.

The private sector has a significant role to play in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and with the establishment of the SDGs in November last year, the accounting community now have a clear set of goals for their reporting on corporate sustainability.
But incorporating social and environmental factors into global corporate accounting remains a sizeable challenge, said UNCTAD Secretary-General, Mukhisa Kituyi, who welcomed collaboration between the international development and accounting communities.
"Corporate sustainability reporting can be a powerful tool to measure the contribution of business towards the SDGs," he said on Tuesday at an annual meeting in Geneva of accountancy experts from all around the world. Hosted by UNCTAD, the meeting runs October 4 to 6.
The experts are all members of the Intergovernmental Working Group of Experts on International Standards of Accounting and Reporting (ISAR), the UN body for accounting and corporate governance matters.
Hosted at UNCTAD, ISAR assists developing countries, and economies in transition, to implement best practices of accounting and corporate governance.
"ISAR continues to be an important partner for our efforts to mobilize public and private involvement with sustainability reporting and to achieve the SDGs," Dr. Kituyi said.
He noted the tremendous challenge of going from single-issue financial reporting to reporting with social, environmental, and other sustainability factors.
"It is not easy to set these standards, but it is more difficult to implement them, especially in developing countries," Dr. Kituyi said. "Many countries lack the knowledge and institutions to cope with implementation."
Accountancy and development communities must find "new synergies" to overcome these challenges, said Dr. Kituyi, who signed a Memorandum of Understanding between UNCTAD and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).
IFAC President Olivia Kirtley said the agreement was the culmination of a long relationship with UNCTAD and that she looked forward to a fruitful collaboration in the future.

Q: Can Amazon SES process email without any real email address behind it? I have a domain registered to me and its set up in Route53 on aws.
Is there a way that SES can process emails sent to a non real address (pinkopalino@mydomain.com)?
e.x
add processing rule to SES to save email on S3 just based on the fact the domain is mine an configured on AWS or do I need a real email server (gmail etc) to have a real email behind it for it to work?

A: OK its possible.
Its enough to verify the domain and SES DKIM and MX in aws route53 for the domain and the SES rule will process the emails.

A post shared by Thad Cockrell (@thad_cockrell) on Jun 19, 2020 at 10:57am PDT
This week we start off the singer-songwriter category with Thad Cockrell's If In Case You Feel The Same, his first studio record in over a decade. In recent years, Thad was fronting the band Leagues, another Lightning 100 favorite, along with Jeremy Lutito of Jars of Clay. He's worked with Americana artists like Joseph and Amanda Shires, as well as with Nashville R&B artist Devon Gilfillian. Thad signed with ATO after showing the songs to local musician Becca Mancari, who in turn shared the project with longtime collaborator Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes. The album was produced by LA based Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers' Punisher) and features superstar producer Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes' Sound And Color) on guitar and Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves' Golden Hour).
I got my vinyl today!!! I'm completely geeking out. The artwork turned out so beautiful. The same labor of love we put into every song also goes into the artwork. Thanks to @Jeremykwhite and @sahsahsadie for helping me get everything detail right. And again big thanks to @blockdoubt for nailing the cover shot. Wow. X Mc.
A post shared by Mondo Cozmo 🇺🇸 (@mondocozmo) on Jul 14, 2020 at 11:54am PDT
This week, the Rock & Alternative vinyl pick is New Medicine by Mondo Cozmo. This is Mondo Cozmo's second studio album and his first on his new label. Williams and Newman liken the sound of the album to the 90's era alternative rap rock style of Beck. The first single "Upside Down" features samples that could even draw comparison to Kanye West's The College Dropout. If you grew up in the 90s, this album is pure nostalgia. New Medicine was produced by Lars Stalfors of The Coldwar Kids.
William Bell and I wrote this song 50 years ago for Albert King and I wanted to do a version for my album, Note by Note.
A post shared by Booker T. Jones (@bookertjonesmusic) on May 17, 2020 at 9:28pm PDT
Note By Note by Booker T. Jones is the Jazz & Soul pick of the week from B.R.T.C. If the name sounds familiar – you're right. Booker T. fronted Booker T. and the M.G.s, one of the biggest funk groups of the 1960s and 1970s. They were the house band for Stax Recors in Memphis, and in that tenure played on tracks by Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Delaney and Bonnie, and hundreds more. Their song "Green Onions" is one of the most licensed songs of all times, perhaps most noticeably in the film Sandlot. On July 10, Jones released Note By Note as a companion to his recent book Time is Tight: My Life Note By Note. The album is a collection of covers of songs that symbolize seminal moments from Jones' life and features a variety of artists including The National's Matt Berninger.
Our self-titled 'Collective Soul' will be available on vinyl + a deluxe CD including 6 bonus tracks, for the first time ever! Available 8/7. Don't wait long and pre-order your copy now at https://found.ee/CS_OnlineStore. Link in bio. #collectivesoul
A post shared by Collective Soul (@collectivesoul) on Jul 14, 2020 at 9:00am PDT
August's Classic Rock feature is Collective Soul's self-titled, and second studio album. The band's first album featured the hit song "Shine" and actually was intended to be a collection of demos that singer Ed Roland hoped to use to get a publishing deal. Instead, the song blew up after becoming a college radio hit and Roland realized he needed to put a band together. Because of the strange circumstances around the first record, Roland actually considers the self-titled album to be the real debut of Collective Soul, which peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. The project was recorded by Matt Serletic, the architect of much of the 90's alt sound, having also produced Matchbox 20 and Edwin McCain's breakout albums.
If you missed tonight's episode, don't worry! You can learn more here and listen wherever you listen to podcasts. Mark your calendars for August 3rd to catch their August picks, you don't want to miss these music must-haves!

In genetic sex-determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction Most reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination. Sex comprises the arrangements that enable sexual reproduction, and has evolved alongside the reproduction system, starting with similar gametes isogamy and progressing to systems that have different gamete types, such as those involving a large female gamete ovum and a small male gamete sperm. In , for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.

Fungi may also have more complex allelic mating systems, with other sexes not accurately described as male, female, or hermaphroditic. In many the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size.
