ATHENA Award	The Chamber	2018-07-10T14:22:02-04:00
The inspiration for the ATHENA Foundation originated in 1980, when Martha Mayhood Mertz, owner of Mayhood/Mertz Realtors, Inc., was asked to serve on the Board of Directors of the Lansing (MI) Regional Chamber of Commerce. Finding herself to be the only working woman serving on the Board, she also discovered that in the 75 years of presenting community awards, her Chamber had only once honored a woman.
Martha recognized that, "The world was changing, and the Chamber boardroom did not reflect the reality of the world outside." The time had come to bring into focus the many outstanding professional and business women in our community and to incorporate them into leadership positions within the Chamber. Through this "Voice of Business," they, too, would participate in guiding the present and shaping the future. The first ATHENA Award was presented in 1982, and the ATHENA spirit was born.
Since then, thousands of women and men have received the ATHENA Award in communities through the U.S. and Canada and in Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates. With the growth of the Award program, the reach of the Foundation has expanded to include programs that create opportunities for networking and development. The Foundation also provides innovative perspectives that help to move individuals along their paths of leadership.
The mission of the ATHENA Foundation is to help individuals and organizations open doors of leadership opportunity for women. The Foundation works with hundreds of organizations, including chambers of commerce, universities, major corporations and small businesses to implement ATHENA programs. The Foundation attracts an outstanding caliber of individuals and organizations inspired to provide valuable grassroots support of our mission.
The Macomb Foundation has presented this award in Macomb County exclusively since 1999. Since then, many area individuals have been presented with this prestigious honor.

Streetscapes, education grounds and sports facilities inevitably require fencing. Consistent with our holistic approach, 2MH Consulting integrates design expertise, user amenity, building considerations and ongoing maintainability of fencing as an integral part of the project, not an afterthought. Often this involves a mix of fencing solutions to make effective use of your budget. For example artisan post and rail fencing may create visual impact in entry zones while cheaper options may be more appropriate for the back fence.

Lionel Richie adds 2nd Blaisdell concert in January
By Sjarif Goldstein sgoldstein@staradvertiser.com
Lionel Richie performs at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 3.
Tickets for Lionel Richie's show at the Blaisdell Arena in January sold out this morning, prompting a second show to be added, with tickets going on sale at 12:30 p.m. today for Hawaii residents only. No code is required.
The second show will be at 8 p.m. on Jan. 26, a day after the first show, which was announced Tuesday.
The pop music legend, who last performed in Hawaii in 2003, is best known for the solo No. 1 hits "Truly," "All Night Long (All Night)," "Hello" and "Say You, Say Me," as well as "Endless Love," his No. 1 duet with Diana Ross. He also topped the charts twice with the Commodores, with "Three Times a Lady" and "Still."
Currently, Richie serves as a judge on "American Idol," which he joined this year for season 16 (along with Katy Perry and Luke Bryan). He will return in the role next year for season 17, which is slated to air in 2019.
Tickets for Richie's second "All the Hits" concert went on sale to Hawaii residents and military at 12:30 p.m. today at ticketmaster.com, the Blaisdell box office and by phone at 800-745-3000, with an eight-ticket limit. General ticket sales commence at 10 a.m. Nov. 3; prices start at $55.75 and top out at $495.75 for front-row meet-and-greet packages.

Q: Console output of string shows as concatenated segments I have a file containing some text representing a valid Json object and read into a string variable S. When I tried to display parts of this string, I get different output rendering in Node REPL. For example, S.substring(0, 70) produces:
'[\r\n  {\r\n    "n": 0,\r\n    "t": ""quotes"",\r\n    "s": [\r\n      [],\r\n    '

But S.substring(0, 80) produces this:
'[\r\n' +
  '  {\r\n' +
  '    "n": 0,\r\n' +
  '    "t": ""quotes"",\r\n' +
  '    "s": [\r\n' +
  '      [],\r\n' +
  '      []\r\n' +
  '    '

S.substring(0, 80).toString() produces the same output.
Is there some rule specifying how strings are displayed? Is it possible to have strings show up as one continuous string of characters even if it is long?

Federico Álvarez Arregui (San Sebastián, 19 de febrero de 1927-Ciudad de México, 18 de mayo del 2018) fue un escritor, traductor, editor, ensayista, docente y crítico literario español nacionalizado mexicano.

Biografía

Infancia: la familia y el exilio
Federico Álvarez —hijo de Francisco Fermín Álvarez, miembro fundador de la Izquierda Republicana, y María Luisa Arregui— vivió el 18 de julio de 1936 el inicio de la guerra civil española. Al término del conflicto, el 9 de agosto de 1940, salió con su hermana Tere al exilio a bordo del barco Magallanes con destino a Cuba. Ahí se reunirían con sus padres y su hermano menor Eugenio.

Juventud: educación, posturas  políticas, activismo y docencia
A los 18 años, comenzó sus estudios en ingeniería en la Universidad de La Habana; poco tiempo después, ingresaría al Partido Comunista Cubano. En el Instituto Hispano-Cubano de Cultura conoció al poeta cubano Roberto Fernández Retamar (1930).

Durante su estancia en Cuba, se formó y sensibilizó en diversos ámbitos, como la filosofía política y la oratoria. A muy temprana edad, empezaría su militancia en la Juventud Socialista Unificada, donde se encontró con José Puertolas y José Juanes Año. Comienza la práctica docente en los círculos de estudios.

En 1947, inicia un nuevo viaje junto a varios exiliados como Arturo Souto Alabarce, Rafael y Tomás Segovia, Ramón Xirau, José de la Colina, Carlos Blanco Aguinaga, Luis Rius, Manuel Durán, José Pascual Buxó, César Rodríguez Chicharro y Carlos Bosch García a la Ciudad de México. Continúa sus estudios en la Facultad de Ingeniería, donde al lado de José Vivar Valderrama funda la revista Columnas. Tiempo después, se matricula en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, donde se licencia en estudios latinoamericanos. En 1954, contrae matrimonio con Elena Aub Barjau, hija del escritor Max Aub; en agosto de 1955, nace su primer hijo, Federico David, y en 1958, su hija Teresa. Entre 1959 y 1961, el matrimonio forma parte del Movimiento Español (ME/59), que buscaba llenar de sentido la condición de exiliado.

Adultez: periodismo, edición, docencia y traducción
Al tiempo, mientras completaba su formación universitaria, Federico Álvarez fue contratado por la UNAM para impartir clases de literatura española. Fungió como crítico literario en diversas publicaciones mexicanas, como Diorama de la Cultura, de Rodríguez Toro, y en los suplementos de Fernando Benítez; entre 1963 y 1965, tenía una columna: Los libros al día, en la Cultura de México de Siempre!, que dirigía Jospe Pagés Llergo, ahí compartiría espacio con José Emilio Pacheco (1963-2014) y Huberto Bátiz (1964). También, colaboraría en la Revista de la Universidad, de la UNAM.

Entre 1964 y 1965, fue miembro del Consejo Editorial de la Revista Mexicana de Literatura. Se licenció en letras en 1965, con la tesis Orígenes y trayectoria del romanticismo hispanoamericano: situación de la novela. Ese mismo año, regresó a Cuba, contratado como profesor de Investigaciones Literarias por la Universidad de La Habana, institución en la que permaneció hasta 1971. Durante este periodo, desarrolló en Cuba una actividad cultural incansable y de plena identificación con las ideas revolucionarias cubanas.

Fue consejero y editor del Instituto Cubano del Libro y colaborador de la Casa de las Américas. Regresó a España en 1971 e inicialmente trabajó en las editoriales Santillana y Altea. Posteriormente, fue contratado como director del Fondo de Cultura Económica, con el fin de relanzar la editorial en España. Impartió cursos y conferencias en diversas instituciones de educación superior nacionales y extranjeras como la Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, el Ateneo de Madrid, la Universidad Complutense, la Universidad Menéndez Pelayo, el Instituto Internacional Williams College y la Universidad de California.

En 1982, volvió definitivamente a México y comenzó su trabajo como docente en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. En la UNAM, hizo sus estudios de posgrado y se tituló como maestro en Letras Hispanoamericanas con la tesis El eclecticismo en la literatura iberoamericana y como doctor en Filosofía presentando Marxismo, eclecticismo y pos(trans)modernidad.

En México, se dedicó también a labores editoriales, en Siglo XXI, y periodísticas, como colaborador semanal en el diario Excélsior (trabajo recopilado en Vaciar una montaña). También, fue director de La Revista de Bellas Artes, del Centro de Bellas Artes, de México en el Arte y de la Revista de Literatura Mexicana del Centro de Estudios Literarios del Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas de la UNAM. Fue profesor y conferencista en diversas universidades americanas y españolas, y colaborador en distintas publicaciones de América y Europa, y llegó a ser autor de un importante número de artículos y estudios críticos. Se considera igualmente significativa su labor traductora de grandes figuras de la teoría literaria, tales como Tzvetan Todorov y Georg Lukács.

Fue docente en Teoría Literaria en  la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM.

A broker reacts at BGC Partners at Canary Wharf financial district in London, August 5, 2011.
There hasn't been good news on Wall Street from anyone at any bank since 2013, when the S&P soared and the promises of a choppy market in 2014 seemed too far away to be believed.
But the promises were kept. Only recently has the market started eeking out those once familiar all-time highs again after a whipsaw winter, and it's too late. Jamie Dimon says JPMorgan is going to help save Detroit, but who's going to save banks from falling trading revenues? Everyone is expecting a decline from this time last year, and that could mean the L-word — layoffs.
Add to that the fact that the Feds are charging banks criminally now— Credit Suisse admitted guilt and agreed to pay a $2.6 billion fine last week. Regulators haven't done anything like this in a decade for fear that it would mean the end of days.
It doesn't. Now Wall Street's bracing itself for more.
So, since the consensus is that The Street is in a funk, we decided to try to find the bank in the deepest funk. It was impossible.
"That's like asking 'what's the bagel-iest bagel?'," said one banker at a bulge bracket firm. "They're all bagels."
We'd say which firm, but who cares — it's a bagel (and he requested anonymity).
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association reported that bond trading volume has fallen 13.2% from Q1 2013. Volume hasn't been this light since 2002. That is why Citigroup CFO John Gerspach said that revenue from trading fixed income, currencies, commodities, and stocks could fall between 20% and 25% at a conference this week.
The biggest investment bank in the world, JPMorgan, said the same thing in a memo earlier this month. More than any other bank since the crisis, JPM has lost its shine. Once the darling of the Obama administration in 2008, too many lawsuits and one whale of a $6 billion trading loss have made the bank just as dirty as everyone else on The Street. Morale is low.
Now, this story isn't just about a stock market slump — the S&P has slowly marched up only 4% year-to-date — it's about regulation and the almighty search for yield. Both are at play here to the detriment of Wall Street banks.
Right now, investors are finding yield in securitized products, especially riskier junk bonds. These products are less liquid than stocks and other asset classes. They're not traded on an open market like the NYSE. Traders have to go looking for this stuff when they want it, and the stuff is harder to unload when traders don't want it anymore.
That in and of itself has its problems.
On the other hand, from an investor's perspective, this risky debt has returned 145% since 2008, is up 45% this year, and yields an average of about 6%. That means it's the place to be.
The thing is, some banks simply can't do it. Post-crisis regulation requires banks to hold more cash and less risk, but that makes it harder to hold the assets necessary to trade securities like collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
And if you can't hold them, you can't really trade them. That's how the business works in this illiquid market, and that's why RBS, for example, is getting rid of most of its MBS desk.
It's also why no one is safe.

Swine flu vaccine linked to child narcolepsy: EU Confirmation
By Ralph Turchiano on September 21, 2012 • ( 3 )

Topics: narcolepsy ♦ Sweden and Finland ♦ Swine flu vaccine
A swine flu vaccine used in 2009-10 is linked to a higher risk of the sleeping disorder narcolepsy in children and teens in Sweden and Finland, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said Friday.
The EU agency studied the effects of the Pandemrix vaccine on children in eight European countries after Sweden and Finland reported higher incidences of narcolepsy among children who were inoculated with the vaccine during the swine flu pandemic in 2009 and 2010.
"The case-control study found an association between vaccination with Pandemrix and an increased risk of narcolepsy in children and adolescents (five to 19 years of age) in Sweden and Finland," the ECDC said.
"The overall number of new cases of narcolepsy being reported after September 2009 was much higher in Sweden and Finland … compared with the other countries participating in the study," it said.
In the six other countries — Britain, Denmark, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Norway — no link was found based on a strict statistical analysis, which tried to address media bias.
However, other confirmatory analyses did identify an increased risk, the report said.
The report included several recommendations for further study to try to distinguish between true vaccine effects and media attention.
An ECDC spokesman said that while the study did not quantify the increased risk compared with non-vaccination, national studies showed the risk of developing narcolepsy after taking Pandemrix, which is produced by British drug company GlaxoSmithKline, was around one in 20,000 for children and adolescents.
Narcolepsy is a chronic nervous system disorder that causes excessive drowsiness, often causing people to fall asleep uncontrollably, and in more severe cases to suffer hallucinations or paralysing physical collapses called cataplexy.
In Finland, 79 children aged four to 19 developed narcolepsy after receiving the Pandemrix vaccine in 2009 and 2010, while in Sweden the number was close to 200, according to figures in the two countries.
Both countries recommended their populations, of around five and 10 million respectively, to take part in mass vaccinations during the swine flu scare. Pandemrix was the only vaccine used in both countries.
Meanwhile, a recent study in the medical journal The Lancet said that between five and 17 people in Finland aged 0-17 are estimated to have died as a direct result of the 2009-10 swine flu pandemic, while the same number for Sweden was nine to 31.
In the past year, the Finnish and Swedish governments have both agreed to provide financial compensation for the affected children after their own national research showed a link between the inoculation and narcolepsy

Q: How to clean background captcha image using imagick I try to clean background captcha image using php imagick method and i used convert method as an alternative on console but i got same result. But it's not really worked.
Then i will use tesseract ocr for getting captcha code. There is a code for tesseract:
tesseract -psm 7 captcha.png output

Captcha image:
captcha
There is my code:
//Example Tutorial::backgroundMasking
function backgroundMasking()
{
    //Load the image
    $imagick = new \Imagick(realpath('captchaa.png'));
    $backgroundColor = "rgb(162, 234, 160)";
    $fuzzFactor = 0.1;
    // Create a copy of the image, and paint all the pixels that
    // are the background color to be transparent
    $outlineImagick = clone $imagick;
    $outlineImagick->transparentPaintImage(
        $backgroundColor, 0, $fuzzFactor * \Imagick::getQuantum(), false
    );

    // Copy the input image
    $mask = clone $imagick;
    // Deactivate the alpha channel if the image has one, as later in the process
    // we want the mask alpha to be copied from the colour channel to the src
    // alpha channel. If the mask image has an alpha channel, it would be copied
    // from that instead of from the colour channel.
    $mask->setImageAlphaChannel(\Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_DEACTIVATE);
    //Convert to gray scale to make life simpler
    $mask->transformImageColorSpace(\Imagick::COLORSPACE_GRAY);

    $mask->negateImage(false);
    $fillPixelHoles = false;

    if ($fillPixelHoles == true) {
        // If your image has pixel sized holes in it, you will want to fill them
        // in. This will however also make any acute corners in the image not be
        // transparent.

        // Fill holes - any black pixel that is surrounded by white will become
        // white
        $mask->blurimage(2, 1);
        $mask->whiteThresholdImage("rgb(10, 10, 10)");
        // Thinning - because the previous step made the outline thicker, we
        // attempt to make it thinner by an equivalent amount.
        $mask->blurimage(2, 1);
        $mask->blackThresholdImage("rgb(255, 255, 255)");
    }
    //Soften the edge of the mask to prevent jaggies on the outline.
    $mask->blurimage(2, 2);
    // We want the mask to go from full opaque to fully transparent quite quickly to
    // avoid having too many semi-transparent pixels. sigmoidalContrastImage does this
    // for us. Values to use were determined empirically.
    $contrast = 15;
    $midpoint = 0.7 * \Imagick::getQuantum();
    $mask->sigmoidalContrastImage(true, $contrast, $midpoint);
    // Copy the mask into the opacity channel of the original image.
    // You are probably done here if you just want the background removed.
    $imagick->compositeimage(
        $mask,
        \Imagick::COMPOSITE_COPYOPACITY,
        0, 0
    );
    // To show that the background has been removed (which is difficult to see
    // against a plain white webpage) we paste the image over a checkboard
    // so that the edges can be seen.

    // Create the check canvas
    $canvas = new \Imagick();
    $canvas->newPseudoImage(
        $imagick->getImageWidth(),
        $imagick->getImageHeight(),
        "pattern:checkerboard"

Historia

Bingerville (13,000 BP) junto con Iwo-Eleru (11,000 BP) fue una de las principales fuente de microlito del Oeste.

Originalmente una ciudad de mercado, Bingerville creció durante el periodo colonial francés hasta convertirse en capital, entre 1909 hasta 1934. Fue nombrada en honor a Louis-Gustave Binger, antiguo gobernador colonial francés. Algunos edificios coloniales se preservan en el pueblo, el cual es conocido por sus jardines botánico.

Antes de la reorganización territorial de 2011 de las subdivisiones de Costa de Marfil, Bingerville fue parte de la Región de Lagunes.

Hundreds of Minnesota businesses make products out of recycled materials. When you buy recycled you are helping the local economy and the environment.
You already know that recycling keeps useful materials from going to waste in landfills or incinerators. But did you know that buying recycled-content products ensures that markets for those recovered materials are strong.
Minnesotans throw away an estimated $217 million worth of recyclables. Additionally, we spend $200 million to dispose of it. Recycling supports many Minnesota manufactures who need those materials.
Gerdau, located in St. Paul, Minn., used recycled steel to make rebar that was used to re-build the 35W bridge. Recycling steel saves at least 75 percent of the energy it would take to create steel from raw materials. Photo from Minnesota Public Radio.
When you recycle those materials are turned into other useful materials.
For example, plastic milk jugs, shampoo and detergent bottles are turned into lumber that can be used to make decks and outdoor furniture.
Steel from cans, cars, and appliances are turned into new steel. How can you tell a steel or tin can from aluminum one? See if a magnet attaches to it. Steel is magnetic while aluminum is not.
In Minnesota, there are more than 200 manufactures that make quality products from recycled materials.
The Minnesota Recycled Products Directory is a searchable database of recycled products made in Minnesota and vendors that carry them.
What's the difference between post-consumer and pre-consumer materials?
Post-consumer is material that's been used by a consumer then recycled. Such as those collected by curbside recycling.
Pre-consumer are scraps, rejects, and trimmings from the manufacturing floor is repurposed into something new rather than thrown away.

Jews of the Week: Lederman and Ashkin
Two 96-Year Old Nobel Prize Winners
Leon Lederman in 1988
Leon Max Lederman (1922-2018) was born in New York to Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants. After serving in World War II, he returned to work on a PhD in physics at Columbia University. He would become a distinguished physics professor there before taking a leave to join the world-renowned CERN in Switzerland. There, he discovered the muon neutrino in 1962. For this, as well as developing the "neutrino beam method", he would later win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Lederman also discovered the bottom quark. In 1979, Lederman became the director of the prestigious Fermilab, running the world's most powerful particle accelerator. After retiring in 1989, he was an occasional teacher at the University of Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology. He was also president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1993 he published his bestselling book, The God Particle (coining that now-famous term). Lederman won countless awards and inspired a generation of physicists. Sadly, he was diagnosed with dementia, and the illness took a toll on both his health and his finances. He was forced to sell his Nobel Prize gold medal in order to pay for his medical bills. He passed away last week, at age 96.
Arthur Ashkin
Another 96-year old Jewish scientist who made headlines last week is Arthur Ashkin (b. 1922). He won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of optical tweezers. Like Lederman, Ashkin was born in New York to Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants, and also attended Columbia University. During World War II, he was asked to stay in his lab to build magnetrons for US Army radars. After earning his PhD in nuclear physics at Cornell, Ashkin was hired by Bell Labs. He first worked on microwave technology, then moved on to lasers. After some two decades of work, Ashkin created a working optical tweezer, described as "an old dream of science fiction". This allows tiny things like atoms, viruses, and cells to be grabbed, moved and manipulated. Today, it is an indispensable tool for countless research facilities around the world. Ashkin also co-discovered the photorefractive effect, and holds a whopping 47 patents. In addition to his many awards, he has been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. His Nobel at age 96 makes him the oldest person ever to win the prize.
An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle.

Jews of the Week: Matvei Blanter and Solomon Mikhoels
Matvei Isaakovich Blanter (1903-1990) was born in the Russian Empire in a small Ukrainian town. He studied music and became a master pianist and violinist. In the 1920s, Blanter became popular for his dance and jazz songs. After the rise of Stalin, he was "recruited" to write propaganda pieces and composed some of the Soviet Union's greatest hits. In 1938, he wrote the music for the internationally-acclaimed song "Katyusha", by far the most well-known Russian tune in the world. (Click here to listen.) It was so popular that it lent its name to one of Russia's most famous military weapons: the Katyusha rocket. A recent poll found that it is still the 13th most listened to song in Russia. Also in 1938, Blanter wrote "The Football March", which would be played before every Russian soccer game – and still is today! All in all, Blanter composed over 200 songs. He was awarded the Stalin Prize and the People's Artist of the USSR. In the last days of World War II, Stalin sent Blanter to Berlin to compose a victory symphony. He wound up with the Russian general right when a German delegation came to sue for a peace treaty. Blanter was quickly shoved into a tiny closet while the generals negotiated. Running out of air, he passed out and fell out of the closet, embarrassing everyone in the room. Some say this is the origin of the expression to "come out of the closet".
Mikhoels with Albert Einstein, during his 1943 fundraising tour
Blanter's uncle was Shlomo Mikhoels (1890-1948). Born in Latvia to a religious Jewish family, he studied law in St. Petersburg before joining a Jewish theatre group. In 1920, Mikhoels co-founded the first Jewish acting studio in Moscow, putting on plays in Yiddish. Lenin soon turned it into the official State Jewish Theatre. By 1928, Mikhoels had become the theatre's director, as well as its most famous actor. People came from around the world to see his legendary performances. One New York Times reviewer wrote that Mikhoels had put on "one of the most stirring performances of my theatre-going career." His 1935 role as King Lear (in Yiddish) drew another critic to write: "I do not recall a performance that stirred me as profoundly, to the core, as Mikhoels' performance of Lear." Mikhoels had become one of the world's best Shakespearean actors. He also played Rabbi Alter in Mazel-Tov, and Tevye in the Russian version of Fiddler on the Roof, among many other roles. In 1942, Mikhoels was made chairman of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, and sent around the world to draw support from his fellow Jews for the Soviet war effort against the Nazis. This made him the first official Soviet representative to make such a trip, and he successfully raised millions. However, after the war ended Stalin became increasingly paranoid, and soon began another round of his purges, particularly of Jewish intellectuals. In 1948, he ordered Mikhoels assassinated, and made it look like a car accident. Nonetheless, Mikhoels was given a state funeral. Today, he is recognized as an important artist and pioneer of Russian theatre, and one of Moscow's main cultural centres is named after him.
He who has many friends has no friends.

Reddit ad leaks The Evil Within 2
By Tom Sykes
Will likely be revealed properly in a matter of hours.
There have been rumours for a while now, but it's looking highly likely that Bethesda will announce a sequel to The Evil Within at its E3 press conference that takes place in a matter of hours. An ad has appeared on Reddit before it was supposed to, announcing that The Evil Within 2 is now available for pre-order (it isn't), while linking to the official Evil Within site, which doesn't yet have anything on it about the action-horror follow-up.
I've been refreshing the PS4 subreddit (where the advert has been seen) for the past few minutes, and I've not been able to make it appear, so it seems to have been taken down for now. Here's what the ad said while it was up:
"Bethesda returns you to the nightmare in The Evil Within 2. Now available for preorder. How will you survive?"
Gematsu reports that it has seen a second ad, which contained the following text:
"From survival horror mastermind Shinji Mikami comes The Evil Within 2. Now available for preorder. 'The only way out is in.'"
So if the advert is legit, it seems that Shinji Mikami—director of the original Resident Evil, and of the first Evil Within—is still attached, which is great news. The Evil Within was quite uneven, but it had some tense chapters, and some extremely pleasant art direction, so I'm very interested in a sequel.
Tom loves exploring in games, whether it's going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet.

Bishop Roundup: Oklahoma, Vermont, Virginia, West Texas
The Diocese of Oklahoma has announced a slate of three nominees to become the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Oklahoma: the Rev. Scott Gunn, the Rev. Greg Methvin and the Rev. Poulson C. Reed.
Gunn
Methvin
Gunn is currently the executive director of Forward Movement, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Methvin is currently the rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Frisco, Texas. And the Reed is currently the rector of All Saint's Episcopal Church and Day School in Phoenix, Arizona.
The election will take place on Dec. 14, and consecration as bishop coadjutor will follow April 18. Current Bishop Edward J. Konieczny will retire on January 1, 2021.
The Rt. Rev. Shannon MacVean-Brown is now the 1,122nd bishop of The Episcopal Church and the first African-American to serve as Bishop of Vermont. Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curry served as chief consecrator. Among the co-consecrating bishops were the Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Ely, tenth bishop of Vermont; the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, bishop of Indianapolis; the Rt. Rev. Gayle E. Harris, bishop suffragan of Massachusetts; the Rt. Rev. Chilton Knudsen, eighth bishop of Maine and assisting bishop of Washington; and the Rt. Rev. Stewart Wood, ninth bishop of Michigan.
MacVean-Brown was accompanied by her husband Phil, daughters Annalise and Indira, and family and friends from all over the country.
The Diocese of West Texas announced that the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Brooke-Davidson has resigned as bishop suffragan to accept a call to serve as assistant bishop in the Diocese of Virginia and will leave West Texas in early October.
The Rt. Rev. David Reed, diocesan bishop of West Texas, said the diocese will not rush to select a successor at the upcoming February 2020 Diocesan Council meeting. "We could not accomplish this task well in the few months between today and February 2020. Further, we believe that waiting will allow the Diocese to be fully attentive to the Holy Spirit's guidance and to 'wait upon the Lord' when we seek a second bishop," he said.

TI Bringing TV to a Mobile Device Near You
Companies that make screens for mobile devices have been working hard to make high-resolution screens ever smaller. These will allow users to watch video on their mobile phone. However, the average user isn't going to take the time to download a movie onto their smartphone. Thats' why handset makers want to build TVs directly into their products.
Currently, this isn't very practical because the required components are so large. Texas Instruments believes it has the solution for this. It is working on a digital TV receiver on a single chip for phones and other mobile devices. This will capture broadcast signals and allow users to watch live broadcasts.
Code-named "Hollywood," the chip will use the new television infrastructure that is being developed for cell phones.
"One by one, the industry's most exciting consumer electronics are being integrated into wireless handsets, allowing consumers to get their news and entertainment whenever and wherever they want," said Gilles Delfassy, a TI senior vice president. "With this new chip on the cell phone, users will enjoy digital, high-quality TV in real-time."
New TV Infrastructure
This TV chip will support newly established TV broadcast standards. While no single standard will be used worldwide, TI believes that the most prevalent standards will be Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld (DVB-H), which was developed for Europe and is expected to extend to North America, and the Japanese specification, Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting – Terrestrial (ISDB-T). The Hollywood chip will support both DVB-H and ISDB-T.
Dedicated wireless networks supporting these standards will feature high-quality live broadcast TV (24-30 frames per second) paired with full audio, significantly better than what is possible now over cellular networks.
These networks also could support services like pay-per-view programming, interactive television, and menu/guide systems.
More about Hollywood
Instead of the traditional three-chip solution, which includes a tuner, OFDM demodulator, and channel decoder processor, Hollywood will be to the industry's first single chip for digital TV phones.
Hollywood will work with TI's widely-adopted OMAP processors, which will handle the multimedia processing of TV content.
As promising as this news is, it's much to early to toss out the TV now. TI expects to provide samples of the Hollywood chip to customers in 2006.

'They're kind of impolite': the artist Carol Bove ruminates on her steel and aluminium sculptures for the Met's façade

When Carol Bove was first asked by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to create sculptures for the niches along its Fifth Avenue façade, she faced a bit of a conundrum: she felt she had to consider "every inch" of the architecture, even as she realised that she would have to challenge its Beaux-Arts forms."In a way, I think they're kind of impolite," the Brooklyn-based artist says of the result, unveiled today: four colossal sculptures made of sandblasted, crumpled stainless steel tubes with 5-ft-wide reflective aluminium disks. "But I think they're also very respectful." Evoking Modernist styles such as Art Deco and abstraction, the sculptures' varying orientations within the four niches yield a rhythmic pattern that invites the viewer to reflect on the building's design and how tradition can be rethought and subverted. That is part of the point of the museum's façade commission, the second one to be solicited by the Met with the goal of initiating fresh conversations with contemporary artists. The first, a series of bronze statues by the Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu, was on view in the niches from September 2019 to November of last year. The niches had previously been empty, although the architect Richard Morris Hunt, who completed his Met building in 1902, originally envisioned that they would be filled with traditional figurative sculptures. In an interview, Bove said that the title of her sculpture series, The seances aren't helping, was spurred by the idea that "an architectural revival is like a séance because it's a bringing back to life."

Jason Schmidt, 2019
"It's not meant to be literal," the artist adds. "But it's about engaging with the past, and it's about a sort of frustration with it."Bove, 49, is mainly known for large-scale sculptures in public spaces that explore the possibilities of formal abstraction and are highly attuned to context. A 2013 outdoor commission for the High Line, Manhattan's elevated park walkway, consisted of seven sculptures–noodles of powder-coated steel, arrangements of steel I-beams, a bronze platform–that called attention to surroundings that at the time consisted of the skeleton of a rusted iron railway. Her mostly vertical abstracted forms for the Swiss Pavilion at the 2017 Venice Biennale responded directly to the women sculpted by Alberto Giacometti. For a 2017 installation in a sculpture park at Laguna Gloria at The Contemporary Austin in Texas, she created a multitude of abstract forms in diverse shapes and colours that reinterpreted the forms in a classical sculpture garden."I often end up borrowing work or putting it in relation to a found object or even inverting the space and using the space as a pedestal–or using the work as a pedestal for the space," Bove says. "At the Met, you could say the works are added to the façade, but the façade is also taken as a frame. They're sort of mutually framing each other.""You could say, 'Oh, the Met has these sculptures by Carol Bove,' or you could say, 'Oh, the Carol Bove sculptures have this magnificent frame,'" the artist adds. "There's a way where I've appropriated them, and then there's another side where they've appropriated me."Sheena Wagstaff, the museum's chairman of Modern and contemporary art, who oversaw the commission, says: "The Met's Beaux-Art architecture is 119 years old but—like the niches that were left empty—the museum itself is an ongoing, unfinished project, always changing. Old certainties wither in this new era: Bove's sculptures speak directly to this, upending tradition but upholding the power of culture to question. They are dynamic provocateurs."Bove has also been the focus of solo shows at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Kunsthalle Zurich and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.The artist, who was born in Geneva and raised in California, has an intimate history with the Met. "When I first lived in New York, I didn't have air-conditioning and I worked in a clothing store on the Upper East Side, and I would go there every day and pay a quarter and just sort of wander around to cool off," she recalls. "And then I got to know it really well."
Detail of Carol Bove's The séances aren't helping, a commission for the niches in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's façade
She says the museum approached her about taking on the façade commission in October 2019. Originally scheduled to go on view last September, the installation was delayed by the complications of the coronavirus pandemic. "We had to [temporarily] close the studio," Bove says of her working space in Red Hook, Brooklyn, but she was glad to gain additional time in which to reflect on the designs for the sculptures. "It was great to just be able to slow down and really think through some of the ideas."The artist works without preparatory drawings, which can pose a challenge, and the Met commission was unusual because of the scale of the works, she says. Each of the sculptures is around 11ft tall. Adding to the complexity was the mix of different elements, the steel tubes and aluminium disks. "I work improvisationally at real scale, so the first thing we did was to build a full-scale architectural facsimile of the niche in the studio," Bove says, "and then use hoists and cranes to suspend the real folded steel in place and then make compositions." "My initial thought was just, O.K., it should be big," she says of the sculptures. "It needs to actually read from far away," as the visitor approaches from Fifth Avenue or a cross street, "and it should be kind of crude. My image of it was that it's made by a giant who has a lot of dexterity."Eventually Bove decided to scale down the size of the aluminium disks and base them on the diameter of the columns that flank the façade's niches and on the medallion portraits on the spandrels of its arches. "It's like taking that language that is articulated by the architect and then making a different pattern of it," she says. "It's one that is both continuous with it and also a break with it." She had considered using a solid colour for the disks but later decided that they should not be painted, preferring a mirrored finish that contrasted with the sandblasted metal on the sculptures' tubes. "They were very supportive of it," Bove says of the Met curatorial team, Wagstaff and Shanay Jhaveri, assistant curator of international Modern and contemporary art. Finally, the artist was gratified to see the sculptures hoisted into place by crane operators and art riggers last week. "They just respond a lot to the light, but they also have a lot of the colour of the niche reflected in them," Bove says. "One in particular, the one on the far right, it just looks so flat across the street. And then as you walk up toward it, it really opens up and the composition changes and it's really satisfying."The Façade Commission: Carol Bove, The séances aren't helping, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1 March through autumn 2021.

Introduction to Sociology  SOC101
THEORY OF POPULATION GROWTH
In pre-modern societies, birth rates were very high by the standards of industrialized world today.
Nonetheless, population growth quite was low until the 18th century because there was a rough overall
balance between births and deaths. The general trend of the numbers was upwards, and there were
sometimes periods of more marked population increase, but these were followed by increase in death rates.
During the period of the rise industrialism, many looked forward to a new age in which scarcity would be a
phenomenon of the past. The development of modern industry, it was widely supposed, would create a new
era of abundance in which standards of living would rise. These ideas were criticized by Thomas Robert
Malthus (1766-1834), a clergyman and an economist.
Malthusian Theory of Population
In 1798 Malthus published an Essay on the Principle of Population. By analyzing the then prevailing situation in
different countries Malthus initiated a debate about the connection between population and food resources
that continues to this day. His premise was that: (1) food was necessary for the continuation of life, and (2)
procreation was also necessary for the continuation of life. Necessity of food for human survival is to
continue, similarly the passions between the sexes are to continue, and both are natural necessities of life.
But the two necessary factors of human life grow at different rate. Whereas population size increases
geometrically (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64), the food supply increases arithmetically (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,). Population size,
therefore, always pushes against the limits of food supply needed to support the population. There is a limit
to increase the food supply by bringing more land under cultivation but there is limit to that. With the
existing rate of growth, the population was expected to double every 25 years.
For such a high growth rate of population, human beings should adopt such measures to check the growth
of population. In his opinion the population checks were:
Preventive checks, and
Positive checks.
Among the preventive checks, Malthus recommended (1) to follow celibacy (2) to marry late, (3) abstinence
from entering into sexual unions resulting in procreation. If human beings don't adopt the "preventive
checks", "positive checks" come into operation in the form of famine, epidemics, war, and other natural
calamities, and a lot of population is wiped out. For the remaining population food supply may be
sufficient, though it may be a temporary relief.
There has been lot of criticism of Malthusian theory of population by arguing that:
Malthus did not visualize the power of science and technology with the help of which the food
supply could be revolutionized. Even one country like Canada could produce so much of
wheat that could be sufficient for the whole of the world. But will Canada supply wheat free?
Not at all. Even if it is free some countries may not even have the ability to bear the
transportation costs.
Malthus did not advocate the use of contraceptives as a means of preventive measure, though
these were available during his times. Being a clergyman perhaps he did not consider the
advocacy of the use of contraceptives as appropriate.
Malthus presented a too pessimistic picture of the growth of population. Population of many
technologically advanced countries did not follow his predictions.
Nevertheless, the essay on population growth by Malthus generated lot of discussion on the topic, and
Malthus may rightly be considered as the father of population studies. The more guarded outlook is that we
no longer could use technology as an excuse to ignore Malthus.
Theory of Demographic Transition
Demographic transition theory links birth rates and death rates to a society's level of industrialization
the process by which a society's economy shifts from a predominantly agricultural and handicraft base to a
predominantly industrial and large scale manufacturing base. There are four stages in the demographic
transition as seen in the figure.
During the pre-industrial stage, high birth rates are balanced by high death rates, and population size
remains fairly stable. Today the least industrialized nations of the world are in this demographic stage.
During stage 2, the stage of increasing industrialization, the death rate falls primarily because of the
improved sanitation, hygiene, and medical conditions. The birth rate, however, remains high because of the
continued influence of traditional values favoring large families. Having several children ensures survival of
at least some of them when infant mortality is high. During this stage the imbalance between the falling
death rate and the high birth rate results in high population growth. Pakistan like many other developing
nations is in this stage of transition.
At the third stage the traditional values give way to modern values favoring contraception and family
planning. Birth rates decline as a result of later ages at marriage, urbanization, industrialization, rising
aspirations, and other factors. The mortality rates eventually stabilize at low level and birth rates follow.
The shift from high to low mortality and fertility is known as the "demographic transition". This shift
occurred throughout Europe, North America, and a number of other areas in the 19th and early 20th
centuries, and started in many developing countries in the middle of 20th century. Although the pace and
paths of decline varied tremendously among countries, the demographic transition emerged as the dominant
model of demographic change.
At the fourth stage the birth rates fall to about the same level as mortality rates. With births and deaths at
similar low levels, the equilibrium of slow population growth is regained.
The pace of change in a country varies depending on its culture, level of economic development, and other
factors. As countries pass through the various stages of the transition, population growth from natural
increase (birth rate - death rate) accelerates or decelerates depending upon the gap between birth rate and
the death rate. Many developing countries are in an intermediate stage, in which mortality and fertility are
falling at varying rates but are still high relative to the levels of Europe and other more developed areas.
Many low-fertility countries have entered what some describe as a "second demographic transition" in
which fertility falls below the two-child replacement level as forces of contemporary life interfere with
childbearing. This transition has been linked with greater educational and job opportunities for women, the
availability of effective contraception, a shift away from formal marriage, the acceptance of childbearing
outside marriage, and the rise of individualism and materialism.
Experts disagree about whether all countries will follow the transition experienced in Europe and about
whether there are additional stages of transition that we have not identified  long-term population decline,
for example. But the demographic transition theory provides a useful framework for assessing demographic
trends and projecting future population size.

US, 1985, 95 minutes, Colour.
American Ninja is a Canon Films production focusing on American patriotism and the popularity of martial arts actioners in the '80s. It is in the Rambo vein. It focuses on a martial arts champion, trained in Ninja techniques, who is able to combat a Latin- American conspiracy and the contacts in the American forces plotting with the Latin- Americans. To this extent, the film is topical because of American antagonism towards Nicaragua in the early '80s.
However, the film is comic strip style with plenty of action and a strong if taciturnly stolid hero. The film is one of a series of Ninja films which include Enter the Ninja, Return of the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, the latter being directed by Sam Firstenberg.
1. Action entertainment? Martial arts? American patriotism?
2. Latin- American setting? Military base? Latin- American affluence? The special effects? The stunt work for the fights? Explosions? Musical score?
3. The title and the focus on the traditional Japanese martial arts? The Japanese Ninja and their being used for political purposes? The American jingoism with an American Ninja?
4.	The hero and his stolid style, lack of background, his memories, the training as a Ninja after the death of his parents? His record and his being in institutions? Military? His thwarting the ambush? His skill in the martial arts? Rescuing the Colonel's daughter? Antagonism of the Colonel and the Sergeant and the irony of their being in the plot? His being put in the brig? Escape? His driving the truck, in the warehouse, combating the Ninja? One against many and his success? The resolution of all the problems? Happy ending? The '80s American hero, Rambo style?
5. The colonel's daughter, her wilfulness, her being rescued, her antagonism, friendliness, danger?

Twitter erupts with jokes about the vanishing acts of Ed Snowden and Rusty
by CNN News Wire June 25, 2013 October 19, 2021
What do NSA leaker Edward Snowden and a red panda at the National Zoo in Washington have in common? Absolutely nothing. Except that both mysteriously vanished. And both were the subjects of high-profile searches — at least for a little while, in the case of the panda.
But a little while was all Twitter needed to engage in a flurry of jokes, including the creation of several parody accounts for Rusty, the red panda.
There were a few, tenuous parallels.
Both are male. Both are relatively young — Rusty is 1, Snowden is 28. And both have connections to China: Red pandas are native to southwestern China while Snowden recently traveled to Hong Kong, off southeastern China.
OK, perhaps that last one is a bit of a stretch. But social media transcends all boundaries.
@InvisibleObama tweeted, "Somewhere, Edward Snowden is stroking a Red Panda laughing at us all."
@BCAppelbaum posted, "Since China won't hold on to Snowden, we're going to start releasing panda bears."
First reported missing at 8 a.m. Monday, Rusty was finally captured around 2:30 p.m. about a mile away from his enclosure, zoo officials posted to Facebook.
The zoo had tweeted several facts about Rusty, warning zoo visitors that he is still a wild animal and would bite if cornered or scared. The search began inside the zoo since red pandas are known to be territorial.
For at least a few hours, Rusty's whereabouts proved as intriguing to many as Edward Snowden's.
Snowden made news recently for releasing information about secret surveillance programs conducted by the National Security Administration. He initially fled to Hong Kong. Russian officials confirmed he had flown to Moscow over the weekend. Although WikiLeaks claims to know his exact location, no one else seems sure. His reserved seat aboard a plane to Cuba was reportedly empty.
The United States has publicly announced it is seeking to extradite Snowden on charges of espionage and theft of government property. No such announcement was made regarding Rusty.
"Operation Rusty: Washington engages in another frantic search," read the headline to the Washington Wire post.
"Now Putin has a Super Bowl ring, Ed Snowden AND a red panda," tweeted @MicahGrimes. Putin has been accused by the owner of the New England Patriots of taking his Super Bowl ring during a visit.
Although parody accounts have come under fire recently as being unnecessary and lacking humor, @RustyThePanda was undeterred. "Is there bamboo in Ecuador?" it asked. Its Twitter bio also included being a fan of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, who broke the Snowden story. Greenwald, presumably busy with other things, had not tweeted anything panda-related at the time of this writing.
Some tweets appeared to confuse red pandas with the black-and-white giant pandas, also called panda bears. Red pandas look more like a cross between a raccoon and a small fox. Both enjoy a good meal of bamboo, however.
This isn't the first escaped zoo animal to inspire an attention-getting parody account. In 2011 @BronxZoosCobra chronicled the seven-day imagined adventures of the escaped snake. That account amassed 187,533 followers and still tweets. In response to Rusty's escape it on Monday it posted, "I have an alibi!"
The @NationalZoo account thanked its fans on Twitter and Facebook for helping recover Rusty. No word if @BarackObama will do the same when Snowden is officially located.
