When we last chatted with Swedish cyclist Emma Johansson, she had just won her second Olympic silver medal and was preparing for the 2016 UCI Road World Championships.
We closed that Q&A by asking what she would be doing if she wasn't a cyclist. While the question was meant more as what career path she would have chosen if she hadn't been so damn good on a bike, we're getting a glimpse since she retired from racing at the end of 2016.
Johansson took time to catch up with us about becoming a mother, getting into broadcasting and other projects on the horizon. She also reflected on a career that was nothing short of sensational. In addition to two Olympic silvers (Beijing and Rio), she earned 40 UCI wins, was ranked No. 1 at the end of the 2013 UCI season and consistently was on or near the podium at the World Championships: She finished in the Top 10 seven times in her final 10 appearances, including one second-place finish and two thirds.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up. How is retirement treating you?
Very well thanks. Different times being a mum now, and that mostly fills my day. I don't find the time to get long rides in anymore but that's OK. Short runs and rides are enough to make me tired these days.
What do you miss most about retiring from cycling? What don't you miss?
I miss the social bits a lot (belonging to a team), also the feeling of winning and the satisfaction from a hard and long training session. I also miss being fit! What I don't miss is the pressure hanging over you all the time. Being professional is a 24/7 work, and you need to do all right to reach the top. Now I can relax more, sleep in if I'm lucky and Morris also does.  And if I want one more piece chocolate with the coffee, it's OK.
Tell us about Morris, your adorable baby boy! How is motherhood treating you?
It's amazing. He is amazing! Motherhood is so much stronger than I ever thought! I wouldn't change it for anything, and I know it sounds cheesy, but for every minute and day that passes, I learn to love him even more. Of course, it's harder time, too, but every time he smiles at me it's forgotten.
How often do you go out on a ride? Any favorite spots where you live in Norway?
Not too often, I run more these days. But this last week I have gotten a couple of rides in. Mostly mtb [mountain bike], but I also jump on my roadbike some days. I live in Norway now, and my favorite spot here is Verdens Ende (the end of the world). In October I'll travel to Belgium for holiday. I will bring my bike and look forward to get some rides in. A ride in to Oudenaarde and a coffee on the market there is something I really look forward to!
What's more difficult… competing in the Road Race at the World Championships or functioning on limited sleep as a new mom?
Hmmm… it's so different. I think I have to say: being a mum. Just because you never know what will happen next… and every time you think you know how Morris will react to something or you think you have found some routine, it changes. Being a cyclist was easy in one way. You set a plan, and you follow it! Of course, the work is hard, but you know what to do and when to do the work!
Speaking of Worlds, any picks to win the Women's Road Race in Innsbruck-Tirol?
Very difficult, but I think anyone from the Dutch team is dangerous…. Vos is back to her "old self" then they have van der Breggen and Van Vleuten. I can't choose… but the jersey will end on a Dutch shoulder again (as long as the can cooperate).
Editor's note – Annemiek Van Vleuten edged Anna van der Breggen in the women's time trial this week, with the road race coming later this week. Johansson's predictions were made before the World Championships started.
Swedish riders Emilia Fahlin and Hanna Nilsson had strong rides in last year's Worlds. Describe them and their strengths and any other Swedes to watch.
Emilia is a rider who never gives up. She's back in good form, and if it comes back in the final, then the podium is near! Hanna's climbing form is really good. She's had so much bad luck with injuries these last years, but at the moment her form is growing and on a really good day she can follow the strongest ones over the climb.
You've done some broadcasting since you retired. How is that going? Any issues going from the bike to the broadcast booth? Also, what else is keeping you busy, aside from keeping up with Morris?
It's going good. I really like it. And it keeps me in the sport, too . Doing Worlds for Swedish Televison, too, and really look forward to that. It's a good thing going straight from being in the peloton to broadcasting because you know most riders. I have a girls' camp that's coming up in the beginning of November. I also have a couple of other projects that will be official later on .
What are you most proud of in your cycling career?
The balance, I believe. That I managed to stay on top for so long. Also, that I had a good platform to stand on when I retired.
Have you considered a comeback?
Difficult question; I hope I'm just as happy as I am today, and hopefully Morris will have a brother or a sister.

Charting the wildest season in Nationals history

With a 6-4 loss to the New York Mets on May 23, the Washington Nationals fell a season-worst 12 games under .500. According to Baseball-Reference.com's playoff odds, which are based on 1,000 simulations of the rest of the season using an estimated true talent level for each team, Washington had a 3 percent chance of qualifying for the postseason when it opened a four-game series against Miami the following day.
The 10 Nationals games that produced the largest swings
Playoff chances
Less than 50%
May 23 would turn out to be the low point of a roller-coaster regular season that ended with the Nationals clinching a spot in Tuesday's National League wild-card game. Over the next four months, Washington's playoff odds fluctuated daily, based both on the Nationals' results and the performance of the teams in the NL East and wild-card races. During the wildest season in team history, here are the 10 games, most of them not especially memorable, that produced the largest swings, according to Baseball-Reference's metric.
[The 12 best moments from the Nationals' wild 2019 season]
April 10: Nationals 15, Phillies 1
Playoff chances increased from 46 to 58 percent.
Playoff chances increased
from 46 to 58 percent.
Jeremy Hellickson pitched six scoreless innings, Matt Adams had four RBI, and the Nationals went 10 for 18 with runners in scoring position. Reliever Trevor Rosenthal lowered his ERA from infinity to 72.00 by recording the first three outs of his season in his fifth appearance.
"To come out of the first couple weeks after a bit of a rough stretch and be 6-5 right now, of course we'd like to be 8-3, but we've got a long way to go," Nationals Manager Dave Martinez said after Washington won its second straight series against an NL East foe.
The win moved the Nationals a game back of the Phillies for the division lead. With a favorable schedule on the horizon, Washington's playoff chances increased to 58 percent.
April 19: Marlins 3, Nationals 2
Playoff chances decreased from 64 to 53 percent.
Playoff chances decreased
Aníbal Sánchez allowed three runs over five-plus innings and Caleb Smith limited the Nationals to one run in six innings as the Marlins won the first of 19 matchups with Washington.
"We got to put the ball in play and move the runner," Martinez said after his team fell to 9-9. "It sounds simple, and yet they just have to do it."
The loss lowered Washington's playoff chances to 53 percent.
May 1: Cardinals 5, Nationals 1
Washington fell to 1-6 in games started by Max Scherzer and saw its playoff chances dip to 30 percent after losing for the eighth time in 11 games.
"It's been frustrating," Martinez said. "I'm sure it's frustrating for Max, too."
It marked the sixth time in Scherzer's first seven starts that the Nationals scored three or fewer runs.
May 9: Nationals 6, Dodgers 0
Patrick Corbin pitched seven scoreless innings, and Howie Kendrick hit a three-run homer in the first to help the Nationals end a four-game losing streak. Washington's playoff chances jumped to 31 percent from a season-low 20 percent.
"I still think we're a very good ballclub," Corbin said after the best start of his first season with Washington. "Things are going to turn around for sure. The guys in here are too good for us to keep losing."
Things would get worse for Washington.
May 17: Cubs 14, Nationals 6
The bullpen reared its ugly head again: Washington relievers allowed 11 runs over the final three innings to turn a close game into a blowout loss.
"It's frustrating. Trust me," Martinez said. "It's frustrating [for the bullpen to pitch like this], especially when the game's within reach."
The loss ended the Nationals' modest two-game winning streak and lowered their playoff odds to 11 percent.
July 5: Royals 7, Nationals 4 (11)
The Nationals stranded 19 runners, and reliever Jonny Venters allowed three runs in the 11th after Washington rallied to tie the score with two runs in the ninth.
"Couldn't get hits in the big moment," Martinez said.
The Braves and Phillies both won that day, further damaging the Nationals' playoff odds.
July 28: Nationals 11, Dodgers 4
Martinez was ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the first inning and then watched from the clubhouse as his Nationals ended a three-game losing streak behind Stephen Strasburg's strong start.
Strasburg allowed one run in seven innings to win his seventh straight start.
"Once we get healthy, once we get everything going, I think we match up really well with them," Martinez said of the Dodgers, now a potential NLDS foe. "Granted, their record's better than ours, but if you look, we match up really well."
Aug. 4: Diamondbacks 7, Nationals 5
One night after an 18-7 loss to the Diamondbacks that ended with second baseman Brian Dozier on the mound, the Nationals suffered another bullpen letdown when Wander Suero allowed two runs in the seventh inning to break a 5-5 tie.
Washington's playoff chances, which were 64 percent after a win in the opener of the three-game series in Arizona, fell to 45 percent.
"We'll get it back together," Martinez said when asked how the Nationals could end a recent slide. "We will."
Aug. 5: Nationals 4, Giants 0
The Nationals got it back together the following night in San Francisco, where fifth starter Erick Fedde pitched six scoreless innings in a shutout win.
"I needed a bounce-back," said Fedde, who allowed a career-high nine runs in a start against the Braves the previous week. "Just to mentally be there, and it was really good."
Washington's playoff chances wouldn't dip below 50 percent for the remainder of the season.
Aug. 14: Nationals 17, Reds 7
The Nationals completed a three-game sweep of the Reds and moved a season-high 10 games over .500 thanks to a 10-run fifth inning that started with Strasburg's RBI single and ended with Kurt Suzuki's three-run homer.
"Hitting is contagious. They say it all the time," Suzuki said. "When you get guys to swing the bats, get the ball rolling, get guys on base, you know, things happen. One guy hits, and it seems like everybody keeps hitting."
The win was the Nationals' seventh in nine games and improved their playoff chances to 79 percent. They only went up from there.

Q: arduino serial HELP ME I am trying to get an LED to light up when a certain message comes through on the serial port but nothing is working! please help me!!
int awsState = "AWS:0";   // for incoming serial data

 void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
    pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {

    // send data only when you receive data:
    if (Serial.available() > 0) {
            // read the incoming byte:
            awsState = Serial.read();

            // say what you got:
            Serial.print(incomingByte);
            Serial.println("Good");
            if (awsState == "AWS:1"){

              digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
            }
    else if (awsState == "AWS:0"){
      digitalWrite(13, LOW);
    }
    }

}

A: Here is a way to read a command from the Serial link.
Step 1 - declare a String to store input data as global variable
String awsState;

Instead of:
int awsState = "AWS:0";

Step 2 - initialize the String in the setup()
void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
    pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
    awsState= "";
}

Step 3 - extract all received character, display them and process the command
void loop() {
    while (Serial.available() > 0) {
        // read all received characters
        char rec =  Serial.read();
        // until <return> character
        if (rec != '\n') {
            awsState += rec;
        }
        else {
            Serial.print(awsState);
            Serial.println("Good");
            if (awsState == "AWS:1"){
              digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
            }
            else if (awsState == "AWS:0"){
              digitalWrite(13, LOW);
            }
            // reset the command to wait the next one
            awsState= "";
        }
    }
}

Live From Graceland!
Lisa Marie Presley performs in Graceland's Jungle Room
Sitting in a chair, lights and cameras pointed at her, Lisa Marie Presley involuntarily twitches when a soundman's boom microphone accidentally hits the ornate chandelier hanging overhead, just outside camera range.
She is sitting dead center, smack in the heart of Graceland — and however controlled, is giving off the vibe of a teenager whose parents went away for the weekend and now an unexpected mob of party guests are clumsily, but methodically, wrecking her house.
And what on earth will she tell her parents?
"I'm very protective over it," she says. "I feel really comfortable here, very happy and comfortable."
Maybe two rooms over, past Graceland's dining room and kitchen, a herd of camera-crew types is setting equipment up in the Jungle Room, where Lisa's father famously recorded in 1976, and where she'll soon be performing for the very first time, for all eyes to see.
"But this is working inside of where I grew up, which is very strange. I feel like I'm watching, making sure that everything doesn't get trampled over. That people are being careful while it's happening."

Lisa Marie Presley performs in Jungle Room at Graceland
In September during her stop in Memphis on her Storm and Grace Tour, Lisa Marie Presley performed in the Jungle Room at Graceland, the house where she grew up and where her dad recorded his last album Moody Blue. Today Yahoo Music released the performance on its site. Lisa performed "Over Me," "Sticks and Stones" and "Weary." (I can't embed them, so please click on the song title for video) "Sticks and Stones" is one of my favorites – watch for Lisa's drum solo at the end. And check out Michael Lockwood's (Lisa's husband and band leader) guitar in "Weary" – it's Elvis'.

LMP offers 'Grace' after the 'Storm'
Music's favorite daughter performing in Sellersville Nov. 16
Lisa Marie Presley carries with her the most famous last name in pop music history. She has been world famous since the day she was born. And though one might assume that with her personal history and her DNA she'd have all the makings of an extrovert, that's not really the case when discussing her life. With some topics, she remains guarded, while with others, she speaks freely. Her latest critically-acclaimed album, "Storm & Grace," falls into the category of the latter. And it's worth talking about.
In a recent interview with The Weekender, Presley talked about "Storm & Grace," its accompanying tour, and some of her other recent musical endeavors in her native hometown of Memphis, where she not only recorded at the legendary Sun Studios, but also performed live on the same stage where a young and upcoming artist named Elvis Presley performed in 1954. She also recently did a home recording, so to speak. But in her case, "home" just happened to be the Jungle Room in a place called Graceland.

After a Lights Out Performance...
TIME TO DECLARE LISA MARIE PRESLEY HER OWN WOMAN
The ticket was free, the company was fun, the venue was a personal favorite so there was little to lose seeing Elvis' baby girl in concert. But after walking in apathetic, I watched the petite forty-five-year-old brunette give an intimate, emotional seventy-five minute performance that turned me into an enthusiastic fan.

Here's how to maximise the ROI on your legal spend
Ivy Wong on the 7th of February 2019 • Spend, ROI, In-House Teams
It's often said that legal departments are now being asked to do more with less. Budget squeezes as a result of the challenging economic climate have inevitably hit legal spend, but the demand for timely, cost-effective and high-quality legal advice remains. Companies want to know where the legal spend is going, but how can GCs put a value on the legal team's contributions?
Through measuring the return on investment (ROI) on legal spend, GCs can approach budgeting with more discipline and credibility, and show continuous improvement in the performance of the legal function. It's not just about cost cutting; this exercise can help demonstrate the value of legal in an understandable way for management buy-in.
What is the ROI on legal spend?
ROI is a common business metric used to measure the gains from an investment relative to the investment's costs. The higher the percentage, the greater the return.
From a legal department's perspective, maximising ROI on legal spend can help slot the legal function into a company's profit generating objectives.
Minimising costs
The first and most straight-forward part of the equation is quantifying and minimising costs. There are plenty of ways to do this, and here are some ideas to get started:
Review and forecast - a review of the previous year's legal spend will likely give a good indication of projected costs. Legal departments can also anticipate, to a certain degree of accuracy, any legal spend required to support foreseeable business needs, such as a looming acquisition, a product roll-out or projected growth.
Reduce external counsel costs - this is an area where major savings can be made. Outsourcing particular areas of work to boutique law firms with lower overheads can help companies save a considerable amount on legal fees; smaller, niche firms often specialise in a particular legal area, offering both value and experience. In addition, alternative fee arrangements such as fixed fees or fee caps increase the predictability of any external legal spend. Lexoo is able to help companies engage senior lawyers from our carefully chosen panel of high-quality, low-overhead boutique law firms, click here to find out more.
Unanticipated costs - these invariably arise in dynamic businesses. One way to reduce their impact is to implement processes that aim to reduce the cost per hour of an in-house lawyer's time, while reducing the number of hours of external lawyer time.
Maximising gains
It may seem difficult to measure the gains created by a legal function in the same way as, say, a sales function. Many of the legal team's important contributions to the business - such as avoiding fines, litigation or reputational damage - are difficult to evaluate. However, the impact of legal spend in many areas can be tracked accurately with the help of big data and state-of-the-art technology.
A good example is the legal team at VMware, a technology company, who were able to reduce the time taken to sign a new customer contract by half by thoroughly analysing their contracts and streamlining them to simplify the language and remove often conceded clauses.
The potential for gains from adopting new legal technologies should not be underestimated, despite the potential costs. A 2014 benchmark report by Blue Hill Research found that the expected ROI for implementing electronic billing, automated processing and spend analytics was 766.0% in the first year alone.
It is also possible to make a solid business case for legal spend on the right technology by using the data that is collected and showing improved productivity, time savings from administrative tasks, shortened cycle times and increased responsiveness.
Instead of just reducing legal spend, companies can use innovative legal technologies as an opportunity to improve the business's capabilities and competitive advantage.
Demonstrating value
Keeping the company afloat is no small feat, but in an environment where legal teams are now being managed like businesses and having to fight against other revenue-generating departments for budget, calculating the ROI on legal spend is a clear way of demonstrating the value of the legal function.
What is Lexoo?
Our data-driven marketplace allows in-house lawyers to rapidly identify boutique firms from a global, trusted network. Our clients compare and hire lawyers who bid competitively for their work by submitting fixed fee quotes. This model means that our lawyers are incentivised to work as efficiently as possible, and our clients enjoy certainty and transparency on costs. Using our proprietary algorithm, we match our lawyers to the client and the job spec, eliminating the stress typically associated with finding and instructing an appropriate lawyer.

Interview: Jimmy Eat World
By Lyndsey Hogarth
Jimmy Eat World has been on the music scene for over 20 years- with no plans to go anywhere. Their breakthrough came in the early 2000s, releasing catchy rock anthems with an emo edge such as 'Pain' and 'The Middle', which are now modern classics within the genre.
After taking a long overdue and well deserved break from the band for a year, they've returned with their ninth studio album, Integrity Blues. Known as one of the most reliable and consistent rock bands around, I chat with Tom Linton of the band, ahead of their sold out show in The Limelight, Belfast.
Gigging NI: Hey Tom – first of all, thanks for coming to Belfast and agreeing to chat with me today. So how does it feel to be back on tour?
Tom Linton: "It feels really good. We took a really long break – we took a year off, so being able to get back on the road was something we all were craving."
GNI: I'm sure. You guys played Dublin last night. How was that?
Tom: "It was really good. That's one of our favourite places to play. The crowd's always really good and the theatre that we played in was really cool."
Tom Linton of Jimmy Eat World
GNI: Irish crowds are known for being quite loud and lairy. Hopefully we can do the same for you tonight…
Tom: "[Laughs] Well that's why we came back here too!"
GNI: Do you get much of a chance to go out and see things when you tour or are you just playing, travelling and sleeping?
Tom: "Um, it depends. Sometimes we'll have a day off and we'll be able to walk around a lot and see a lot more than the days where we have a show. Today we did something really cool – we were able to go check out the Game of Thrones set, which was really cool."
GNI: Oh nice, are you a fan?
Tom: "Yeah, we're all big fans of the show, so that's something that doesn't really happen that often – seeing stuff like that."
GNI: That's cool – it's not uncommon to see the actors walking around Belfast.
Tom: "Oh yeah? Nice!"

GNI: You guys have been together forever. Is it difficult to decide on a set list when you tour? You have so many well loved songs, it must be hard to narrow down.
Tom: "It's getting harder! There are so many songs we wanna play but if it ever comes down to trying to figure it out… or we're fighting about it, we'll go online and ask the fans. We'll ask – "What's a song we haven't played in a while that you guys wanna hear?" That helps us get out of a fight that we're having about that kind of stuff."
GNI: You can't please everyone, can you?
Tom: "Yeah, there's always one! We try to play the ones that people are asking for."
GNI: Definitely a good way to decide. Is there a particular aspect of touring that's your favourite? I'm sure you've had some highlights over the years.
Tom: "Just getting to go to new places and meet the people…yeah – you can't really complain about anything."
GNI: Sure – so there's no downside as far as you're concerned?
Tom: "The only thing you can complain about is when you get sick, because it tends to stick around a little bit longer when you're on tour…because you're not getting much sleep and stuff. But it's okay, there's worse things…jobs – if you could call this a job!"
GNI: Before making your latest album you just mentioned that you all took a year out – what did you get up to?
Tom: "I uh…I started to box! [laughs] I took boxing lessons."
GNI: Oh really? That's different..
Tom: "Totally different! I was really out of shape when I got back from tour so I just decided to whip myself into shape. Rick started brewing gin, and Jim did a solo tour where he went out acoustic and did some shows. Zach made a solo record…"
GNI: Was the intention to completely switch off from the band… is that even possible?
Tom: "I mean…yeah – as much as you can, because you're always kind of working. I was still practicing at home- playing piano, guitar. I was still doing music stuff. I think we kind of get into this cycle where we get off the road and go straight into the studio, and it was nice getting away from that and trying something different."
GNI: Did it give you a bit of perspective, perhaps?
Tom: "Yeah – When you have that much time off you realise how much fun you have when you're on the road and when we're together. So it was just a break that we needed."
GNI: To give you a chance to miss each other?
Tom: "Yeah! [laughs] You know, we're lucky enough to where we get along."
GNI: So do you think it had a positive impact on the album, coming back well rested?
Tom: "Yeah – big time."
GNI: There's no denying you have a loyal following having been together for so many years, but you guys continue to produce great music that's fresh and relevant. You have no need to rely or bank on the nostalgia that comes with your older material. When you go into the studio is that an organic process, or do you always write and produce with your audience in mind?
Tom: "Yeah – for this record, that was one of the reasons we took the break. When we got back together we were like "Alright, we've got to make a record that's completely different, and get a producer that's different and is gonna challenge us." We've never been challenged before. So yeah – when we made this record we really pushed ourselves to do something that was different. I think you can see that in the record that we've made."
GNI: If you had to recommend one track from Integrity Blues, which would it be?
Tom: "My favourite song is "Pass the Baby" – it switches things up. It's an experimental song."
GNI: It really builds, right?
Tom: "Yeah – it has a slow build, then the ending is like the heaviest riff that we've ever done. We'll be playing it tonight – it's a fun one to play."
GNI: Great! The show tonight is sold out, I'm very excited. What can we expect by way of material? Is it a mixture, or are you trying to get more of the new album out there?
Tom: "It'll be a mix of everything. We're not gonna do any Static Prevail songs, but we'll do stuff from Clarity, and pretty much every other record onwards. It won't just be new stuff…[laughs] We know how it is when you're a fan, to go watch a show and the band plays the whole new record."
GNI: I'm sure it'll be great- thanks so much for taking the time to speak to me today.
Tom: "Yeah – no problem. Enjoy the show!"

Court of Appeals Reverses Decision to Delete Officers' Names
WYPR - 88.1 FM Baltimore
Published March 6, 2018 at 6:04 PM EST
Maryland's Court of Appeals unanimously agreed at an emergency meeting Tuesday to restore the names of police officers deleted from the online case search data base.
The judges conceded the deletions were a mistake and Chief Judge Mary Ellen Barbera took responsibility for the error in opening statements to a cramped conference room. Barbera said it was an honest mistake and that the deletion was part of an amendment that went unnoticed until the case search changes were implemented.
Amy Petkovsek an attorney with Maryland legal aid said the consequences of this error affected low income clients the most.
Low income clients have the basic human right to have the same access to justice as everybody else does."
Sunny Desai also with Maryland Legal Aid was surprised by the court's quick decision-making.
"As you may expect with attorneys we're always ready for a fight. And generally speaking these kinds of rules don't get reversed at all so."
Desai and Petkovsek provide free legal aid to those who need their records expunged. They testified that the deletion of officer's names from case searches slowed down the process and effected their clients' ability to find work.
During the federal Gun Trace Taskforce trials the case search database helped identify indicted officers. Tiana Boardman, a senior at University of Maryland studying criminal justice, testified that the case search database helped her gather accurate and complete information for her research papers.
Duane Davis, also known as 'Shorty' and a former-prison inmate turned community activist, testified that the "community has the right to know who officers are in [case searches]."
Barbera says the names of the officers are expected to be replaced by Friday.

Lea Family Divided by Civil War
You could cut the tension with a bayoneted saber as Albert Miller Lea asked with contempt, "Son, how can you turn your back on the Southern Cause when it's in your blood to defend it?"Though Albert was a formidable figure in science, engineering, politics, and military endeavors, his son, Edward, stood his ground against him, for he was was an up and coming officer in the Union Navy and confident of his own abilities. With simmering anger Edward pronounced, "I do not desire my family's love if I can only possess it by becoming a traitor to my country!"
Albert tweaked his mustache, growling, "Know that if you decide to fight for the Old Flag, it is not likely we will meet again except face to face on the battlefield." With emotions running high, the two men, like many other families torn asunder by the war between North and South, went their separate ways.
At twenty-six years of age, Edward was Lieutenant Commander aboard the Union steamer, Harriet Lane, and one of the first into the harbor to capture Galveston, Texas, in October 1862. There he remained defending the Gulf of Mexico island until the frigid night of January 1, 1863 when Confederates led by General John Bankhead Magruder, made their bold attack.
Armoring the decks of two river steamers, the Bayou City and Neptune, with cotton bales, the Confederates entered the west end of Galveston bay and successfully commandeered Edward's ship.
Mortally wounded, Edward lay on the ship's deck, unaware his father, Albert, was also on the island, but under the command of the Confederate forces. Atop one of the tallest residences near Broadway, possibly Ashton Villa, Albert had observed the Galveston Battle with much trepidation and when the fighting ceased he revealed to Gen. Magruder that his son had been serving on the captured Union ship, Harriet Lane.
Shocked, Magruder responded,"My God! Why didn't you tell me this before? Of course you must seek him out immediately." By the time Albert found his fatally wounded son, all past grievances had evaporated. Gently cradling his son's head in his arms, he cried with regret, "Edward, this is your father. I am here to take care of you." "Yes, I know," the young commander responded with a sense of relief, "but I cannot move." Torn with fear and indecision, the father reluctantly left his son's side to go ashore and find medical help. When the dying Edward was asked by those in attendance if there was anything they could do to ease his suffering, he calmly answered, "No, my father is here."
Albert didn't return in time to see his son alive, but on the following day with both Confederate soldiers and Union prisoners attending Edward's funeral, he solemnly said above his son's coffin, "Allow one so sorely tried in this his willing sacrifice to beseech you to believe that while we defend our rights with our strong arms and honest hearts, those we meet in battle may also have hearts as brave and honest as our own. We have buried two brave and honest gentlemen. Peace to their ashes; tread lightly over their graves."
On an island in the Gulf, in a field of yellow blossoms stands Edward Lea's gravestone with his last words engraved upon it: "My father is here."

FAA charging EAA $500,000
June 5, 2013 By WRN Contributor
A congressman from Fond du Lac says he'll fight an attempt by the Federal Aviation Administration to charge the Experimental Aircraft Association $500,000 for air traffic controllers at this year's AirVenture.
Congressman Tom Petri says the federal agency is already benefiting from the air show, because when pilots fly to and from Oshkosh for the world famous air show, a part of the tax on their fuel goes to the FAA. "Once you take into account that, I'm confident that they're actually making money for the federal government, and they're trying to charge them twice. It's ridiculous."
Petri says he believes the agency is exceeding its authority. He says Wisconsin's delegation in Washington D.C. also opposes the move. The leader of the EAA says the FAA is demanding the money, or else it won't provide the controllers.
Petri says the issue is coming up because of the sequestration cuts, but Congress gave the FAA more flexibility to deal with them.
AirVenture 2013 is scheduled for July 29 – August 4.

Q: How to add alias name for a field in mongodb? My result is given below;
db.userdetail.find({}, {UserName: 1, _id:1}).pretty();

Result:

}

Here how do I change UserName to name and _id to value, is it possible?

A: You could use mongodb's aggregation framework, although I would not recommend it for big queries (you might hit memory limits) or very common queries (consumes more resources)

MarTID – the Maritime Training Insights Database -- a historic initiative to study global maritime training practices -- launches today.
There is broad agreement that as much as 80% of maritime accidents involve human factors causes. As such, top vessel operators and maritime training centers are pouring significant resources into creating best practice and innovative training programs.
To a large degree, however, the industry as a whole, knows little about the training approaches and successes of vessel operators and training centers outside personal circles. This means that each training leader is left to his or her own devices to invent and design their best practice training approach. This siloed, rather than collaborative approach dooms each operator to find their own way and repeat the mistakes of others. On a global scale, it means that we cannot benchmark our training approaches and learn from the successes of other industry players. It also means that industry training approaches will mostly advance by individual original effort, not by continually improving on the state of the art. In a sense, this is surprising because as training experts, we should be hard-wired to learn from the experiences of others. Too often we are failing to do so.
MarTID – the Maritime Training Insights Database, is a new non-commercial initiative collaboratively founded by the World Maritime University, New Wave Media and Marine Learning Systems. Its core principles include ethical integrity, objectivity and confidentiality. Each of these organizations is donating its time and resources to make this initiative possible. We are doing this because we believe that sharing information benefits the entire industry.
•	If you work at a vessel operator or maritime training facility, please make your senior training administrator aware of this important survey by sharing this article with them.
•	If you are a senior training administrator of a vessel operator or training facility, we need you to complete a survey on behalf of your organization. Please send questions to info@MarTID.org or take the survey at www.martid.org/survey.
We believe that the annual collection and analyses of training data will help the maritime community gain insights that can lead to enhanced policy-setting, decision-making, benchmarking and operational optimization by industry operators and regulatory authorities at all levels. We hope that the survey data and its analyses will become an important and authoritative source of knowledge for the global maritime community. Therefore, we thank you in advance for contributing to this important body of knowledge.

AirPods 2 launch was kind of a dud
By Ed Hardy • 10:35 am, June 14, 2019
Deals on first-generation AirPods cut into sales of the new version.
Photo: Ste Smith/ Cult of Mac
The debut of Apple's second-generation AirPods didn't trigger a huge surge in first-day sales, according to new data from a market-research company.
Still, the whole Q1 hearables market grew 40 percent over the previous quarter.
AirPods 2 off to a slow start
"While sales of the first generation AirPods were higher than expected thanks to a variety of sales promotions for stock-outs in the channel in Q1 2019, sales of the new model were weaker than initially expected due to the market's mixed response," noted analysts from Counterpoint Research.
AirPods 2 offer just a few improvements over the original. Most notably, they have a longer battery life and support "Hey Siri." It seems clear many people whom already had a pair of Apple's wireless earbuds didn't feel an immediate need to upgrade.
That said, these new hearables debuted at the very end of March. It's possible Apple is seeing an increase in sales in the second quarter.
Global hearables sales are up
There were 17.5 million wireless earbuds sold during the first three months of this year, according to Counterpoint. That's a 40% quarter-on-quarter improvement, with much of the growth in North America and Europe.
AirPods dominate the world market for in-ear wearables. But Samsung is having a bit of success with with its new Galaxy Buds, moving into a distant second for the first time.
There's AirPods and then there's everyone else.
Chart: Counterpoint Research
"It remains uncertain if Apple's market share could stay at the present level with the current product portfolio in the coming quarters," said Liz Lee, Senior Analyst at Counterpoint Research. "Samsung is trying to strengthen its dominance with Galaxy Buds, propelled by bundling with Galaxy S10 series. The recent performance of QCY and Soundcore, who are also expanding their global presence, is noteworthy. Above all, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are expected to release true wireless earbuds in the second half of this year. The market is getting more dynamic and energetic."

Rega Planar 10
Hi-Fi Choice | Jan 4, 2021
Audio specialist Rega has managed to re-energise its expansive range of turntables and keep us in a spin with a combination of intriguing and unexpected technical changes to its designs that are considerably more than simply a style makeover. At first glance, the Planar 10 (£3,600 without cartridge) looks remarkably similar to the genuinely radical Planar 8 introduced last year (reviewed HFC 443), but these visual cues hide an almost completely new turntable that continues to develop themes and practises from the company's flagship Naiad – the Essex-based company's custom design that's built in extremely limited numbers and represents something of a concept product and testbed for new ideas.
The Planar 8 already incorporates a good deal of the company's design thinking, but the Planar 10 is more ambitious in that it sets out to be an easier to produce representation of the Naiad at a more affordable price. To do this, the Planar 10 takes some aspects of the Planar 8 and mixes it with new components and materials. Although this isn't the first time Rega has employed ceramic elements in its design – both the preceding RP10 and P9 turntables utilised the material – the Planar 10 has a ceramic platter partnered to a ceramic top brace that takes the company's 'stressed beam' idea of maximising the rigidity between the bearing and arm board further than ever before.
This rigid ceramic top brace is combined with Rega's desire to eliminate mass from the rest of the turntable, which is a skeletal plinth of sandwiched Tancast 8 foam between two layers of high-pressure laminate similar to that found on the Planar 8. There are differences between the two – the bearing housing of the Planar 10 is a new one-piece bearing and sub-platter that is mounted in such a way as to eliminate vibration. A 24V motor is mounted to the plinth from the underside and the two components are joined by a pair of drive belts constructed from Rega's own EBLT rubber with a perfectly circular cross section. The Planar 10 has the same footprint as the Planar 8 and can be wall mounted using the same £135 bracket.
Evolving from its predecessor, the updated PL10 PSU uses a DSP-driven, crystal-based system to ensure accurate speed control. It's housed in a new casework design that shares some styling cues with the company's £3,000 Aethos integrated amplifier and gives electronic speed selection via buttons on the front panel.
Another significant update is to the tonearm. The RB3000 is visually similar to the preceding RB2000 with its striking aluminium and hand-polished finish, but it's an all-new design. The most significant difference is the bearing assembly that uses new construction techniques within micrometre tolerances, combined with a design that places the smallest number of mechanical joints in the arm. It's supplied with a relatively light counterweight as standard that works perfectly with the Apheta 3 moving-coil cartridge that's bundled and fitted as part of the £4,500 package as reviewed here, though a heavier counterweight is also available.
The attention to detail that's been lavished on the Planar 10 combines to create a turntable that feels at once familiar yet at the same time very different. It's solid and beautifully made while the extra refinements make it feel more special than its already exceptional Planar 8 sibling – the 10's tonearm in particular is a work of entirely functional art. It's practical too, thanks to the plinth's small footprint and ingenious dust cover that comes supplied.
Connected to a Cyrus Phono Signature phono stage (HFC 408), Naim Supernait 3 integrated amplifier (see p46) and Focal Kanta No.1 standmount loudspeaker (HFC 454), the Planar 10's sound emulates its looks with elements that are familiar interspersed with intriguing new developments. It's very much in keeping with Rega's turntable sound and is so effortlessly rhythmic that my pressing of The Comet Is Coming's Super Zodiac makes the digital streaming versions I experienced in last month's lossless streaming Group Test sound disjointed and choppy. The Planar 10 is utterly unflappable, and I don't think there's a time signature in existence able to unsettle it.
This deck is much more than a device to get the head nodding, however. Picking apart the influence of the ceramic components and that beautifully constructed tonearm is tough in isolation, but cumulatively, they amount to an effortless ability to take every nuance on a record and create a three-dimensional image that is so convincing that I feel I can walk around it. The complex and dense arrangements of Kamasi Washington's Harmony Of Difference are so effortlessly unpicked, it is only when you play it on a lesser turntable that you begin to appreciate just how astonishingly together it is.
The latest version of the company's Apheta moving-coil cartridge retains the virtues of its predecessor, but where the Apheta 2 could sound a little unforgiving with some pressings – at least when not partnered with the mighty Aura phono stage (HFC 446) – here it manages to keep almost everything sounding good. This still isn't the most tonally lush turntable and cartridge combination you can buy, but neither is it likely to see you leave any records on the shelf.
In fact, the Planar 10 has the ability to make you want to listen to long side-lined albums in order to see what it can do with them. The manner in which it sets about the eponymously titled album from the Brand New Heavies is a deeply impressive experience as this fine pressing positively sings. The tonality of the instruments is correct without ever being matter of fact. The rasp of the brass on People Get Ready is vibrant and entirely tangible. Everything bursts into life in a wholly convincing way and the interplay between the performers is completely compelling.
The cleverest part of the Planar 10's arsenal of attributes is that it never loses sight of the idea of musical joy being the main goal, but can also lay claim to being an analogue playback source that can be considered a reference. The challenging but wonderful pressing of Nils Frahm's Spaces is conveyed with a weight and presence to the piano playing and is flawlessly recreated as the Apheta 3 cartridge's incredible detail retrieval combined with the deck's naturally low noise floor is enough to unearth tiny details that turn the presentation into a captivating performance.
Given that the Planar 10 shares concepts and design ideas with the Planar 8, which was one of our favourite turntables of last year, it doesn't come as a surprise to see that this is something of a superstar. What is surprising, however, is that even allowing for the significant price increase, this is more of a leap forward in performance terms than the superficially similar appearance of the two models might suggest. It manages to deliver a performance that is outstanding even at the relatively lofty price point, and it does so while retaining the same joy and charm the company holds dear. The Planar 10 is a masterpiece and any owner will feel proud to have one of the company's finest achievements. ES

A photo Inyri sent me years ago.
I'd prefer to hail Inyri.
That is one of the worst looking pizzas I've ever seen.
You're just jealous it's so happy.
It's happy to be a pizza. I think that's cute. The fact he was eaten is no reflection on his small time on this mortal coil.
Pfft, she once sent me a photo of part of her hand and a cicada.

Q: Why doesn't zeppelin server on spark cluster respond? I installed zeppelin in a local model and cluster model. They all installed and connected successfully. But the cluster model cannot process my code, despite the zeppelin examples. It started and was pending and running for a long time then resulted in this error every time:
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Futures timed out after [10000 milliseconds]

Then I open the log directory and open my zeppelin-interpreter-spark-pipeline-lls6.log. I paste the ERROR log info blow:

The example bank-full.txt I moved to the hdfs directory.The same situation doesn't appear in the local model.
Our cluster is standalone.and all the versions are spark-1.3 hadoop-2.0.0-CDH-4.5.0. Under the conf I add the Master url. Has anyone encounter such situation and told me how to fix it.
Thanks all!

A: It seems like my issue using EMR cluster with fixed IP. In the cluster model Hadoop,Spark cluster should be different from zeppelin server. MasterURL should be changed by,
export MASTER="spark://master_addr:7077"

and double-check binding interpreter into zeppelin server.
export SPARK_HOME=XXX
export SPARK_CONF_DIR=XXX
export HADOOP_HOME=XXX
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=XXX

Belmonte (Uruguay/Spain/Mexico, 2018): An unapologetic character study, Belmonte is a mildly captivating portrait of an artist at crossroads. The titular character is a painter depressed over his broken family who finds himself unable to move forward. His hostility towards his surroundings and his lack of empathy for those who love him isolate him further.
The film does a good job digging into the main character's inner life without having to spell it out for the audience. The insights, however, are not quite ground-breaking, but at least the execution is impeccable, thanks to a strong turn by Veiroj's regular Gonzalo Delgado. The resolution is thoroughly unearned (the cinematic equivalent of "sleeping on it"), which at 75 minutes-length feels straight-up lazy. Two stars/planets/prairie dogs. Distribution: Unlikely.
Girls of the Sun (France, 2018): While the devastation in Syria is the most covered aspect of the ISIS offensive in the Middle East, the Kurdistan has suffered enormously at hands of the terrorist organization. Following the systematic killing of the male population, an increasing number of Kurdish women has joined the resistance, despite the fact the top rank treats them as cannon fodder.
Girls of the Sun follows the story of Bahar (Golshifteh Farahani, Patterson), a lawyer-turned-freedom fighter for whom personal trauma is the fuel that makes her a fearsome warrior. Her travails are covered by Mathilde (Emmanuelle Bercot), a journalist modeled after Marie Colvin for whom objectivity has long stopped being feasible.
While an undoubtedly compelling story, the film is broad and relies heavily in sentimentality, coming short more often than not. Director Eva Husson does succeed at conjuring some stunning visuals, but the final outcome feels disjointed. Two and a half planets. Distribution: It touches all the bases for an art-house run.


A contractor has begun work to remove trees near the Wachusett Reservoir, according to a Massachusetts Water Resources Authority spokesman.
The contractor, Aldore Tetreault and Sons, Inc. of Mendon, began mobilizing on site this week.
When the Wachusett Reservoir was constructed at the turn of the last century, the earthen dams � or dikes � were intended to remain free of trees and shrubs in order to ensure their integrity. However, since the 1930s, trees have become established on the north and south dikes of the reservoir.
Periodic dam safety inspections have concluded that trees growing on the earthen dams are a regulatory deficiency under the most recent State Office of Dam Safety regulations. The blowdown, or death of trees, on the dam could create conditions where water from the reservoir could penetrate root voids and ultimately lead to dam failure.
Tree growth and underbrush also prohibit proper dam safety inspections so that any problems with the earthen dike may not be noticed at an early stage.
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority is about to begin a project to clear trees, stumps and underbrush at the south dike to address this important issue.
The work will include cutting and removal of approximately 1,600 trees on the south dike ranging in size from saplings up to 32-inches diameter, with the majority of trees in the 10-inch to 20-inch range. Most of the trees are white pines and are located on the upstream, crest and downstream slope of the dike. In some areas, stands of these trees are diseased.
Trees susceptible to Asian Longhorn Beetle infestation will be cut and chipped on-site in accordance with federal and state requirements. Evergreens will be cut and chipped and, depending on size, some will be removed in whole logs. After tree cutting and stumping the earthen dike will be graded and stabilized with grass cover. Once the grass is well established, the dike will be maintained by seasonal cutting.
MWRA anticipates the work will be completed by June 30, 2012.
Tree growth on the north dike of the Wachusett Reservoir will be addressed in a future contract.
Updates will be posted on www.mwra.com as the work progresses.

Ed Brubaker (Bethesda, 17 de novembro de 1966) é um roteirista estadunidense de banda desenhada, três vezes vencedor do Prêmio Eisner de melhor roteirista. Tendo iniciado sua carreira em revistas independentes e antologias dos gêneros crime e noir, estabeleceu uma prolífica trajetória nos quadrinhos de super-heróis, com fases elogiadas em Capitão América, Demolidor e diversos títulos relacionados ao Batman.

Nos últimos anos, solidificou sua carreira no quadrinho autoral, trabalhando em suas propriedades intelectuais principalmente ao lado do artista Sean Phillips, um colaborador de longa data.

Estilo de escrita
Os primeiros quadrinhos de Brubaker foram no género noir: Lowlife, The Fall, Sandman Presents: Dead Boy Detectives e Scene of the Crime. Seu primeiro trabalho de super heróis incorporou alguns aspectos do género noir, como Batman, Catwoman e Sleeper. Isto continuou com seu trabalho na Marvel, nas revistas Daredevil e Criminal. Além destas, Brubaker também trabalhou em outras séries de super herói da Marvel, como Capitão América e Uncanny X-Men.

Carreira

Início
O primeiro trabalho de Brubaker em quadrinhos foi como cartunista, escrevendo e desenhando Pajama Chronicles e desenhando uma edição de Gumby 3D para Blackthorne Comics; Purgatory U.S.A. para Slave Labor Graphics; e a série semi-autobiográfica Lowlife, para a Caliber Comics. Na Caliber, ele editou brevemente a série de antologia Monkey Wrench.

Em 1991, ele começou a contribuir com histórias de crime para a série de antologia Dark Horse Presents, da Dark Horse Comics, uma revista que ele continuaria a contribuir intermitentemente ao longo da década. Entre essas contribuições está a série em três partes An Accidental Death (Dark Horse Presents # 65-67), uma colaboração com o artista Eric Shanower, que deu aos dois uma indicação ao Prêmio Eisner de 1993. Em 1997, recebeu uma indicação ao Prêmio Ignatz por At the Seams.

DC Comics
Em 1995, escreveu sua primeira história para a DC/Vertigo, Prez: Smells Like Teen President, novamente com Shanower na arte. Posteriormente, lançou Scene of the Crime, com Michael Lark e Sean Phillips na arte, em 1999.

Assinou um contrato de exclusividade com a editora em 2000, e começou a roteirizar a revista do Batman no número #582. Trabalhando em histórias back-ups na série Detective Comics, com o artista Darwyn Cooke, Ed Brubaker destacou-se, o que o levou a ganhar um título solo da Mulher-Gato: Catwoman.

Em parceria com Greg Rucka, lançou a série Gotham Central, focando no cotidiano dos policiais do Departamento de Polícia de Gotham City. Posteriormente, produziu o one-shot Batman: The Man Who Laughs. Para o selo WildStorm, Ed Brubaker escreveu a minissérie Point Blank e The Authority. Além disso, lançou a série autoral Sleeper, juntamente com Sean Phillips.

Marvel
Em 2004, já não mais exclusivo da DC, Brubaker começou a trabalhar para sua principal concorrente, a Marvel Comics. Seu primeiro grande trabalho foi o volume cinco da série Captain America. Juntamente com o artista Steve Epting, o Capitão América de Brubaker introduziu novos vilões e ressuscitou o personagem Bucky Barnes como "O Soldado Invernal". A série foi um sucesso de vendas e crítica. Brubaker continuou por oito anos, de novembro de 2004 a outubro de 2012, escrevendo também no período títulos derivados em torno do personagem.

Em 2005, firmou um acordo de exclusividade com a Marvel. Enquanto ainda escrevia Captain America, Brubaker contribuiu com a revista do Demolidor, substituindo a célebre equipe criativa formada por Brian Michael Bendis e Alex Maleev, que se despedia do título em 2006. Ed seguiu no título até 2009, sendo substituído por Andy Diggle. Ainda em 2006, Brubaker assumiu um terceiro título tradicional da Marvel, Uncanny X-Men. Com as críticas positivas acerca de seu trabalho na editora, recebeu a tarefa de reformular a equipe mutante, após ter feito a minissérie X-Men: Deadly Genesis. No mesmo período, Brubaker co-roteirizou com Matt Fraction a revista The Immortal Iron Fist.

Brubaker ainda escreveu várias minisséries como Books of Doom e The Marvels Project.

Obras autorais
Em 2006, Ed Brubaker lançou com Sean Phillips a série Criminal, seu primeiro trabalho autoral desde seu contrato de exclusividade com a Marvel.  À época, o roteirista afirmou: "Criminal falará sobre o crime, do ponto de vista de quem está do outro lado da lei, e de uma maneira que normalmente não pode ser vista numa revista de super-heróis." Brubaker se inspirou em escritores como Jim Thompson e Ross Macdonald para a concepção da série. No ano seguinte, Criminal ganhou o Prêmio Eisner para Melhor Nova Série.

Incognito, sua segunda série pelo selo Icon, foi definida pelo próprio como sendo o oposto de uma obra anterior, Sleeper:  "Incognito é o inverso. A história de um cara do mal forçado a ser do bem, e o que acontece quando ele começa a pirar por causa da monotonia do cotidiano."

Brubaker e Sean Phillips lançaram Fatale, sua primeira série na Image Comics, em janeiro de 2012. A série foi inicialmente anunciada como uma maxissérie de doze edições, mas foi atualizada para uma série regular em novembro de 2012. Brubaker e Steve Epting lançaram Velvet, uma série de espionagem, em outubro de 2013.

Em 2013, Ed Brubaker, juntamente com seu colaborador costumaz, Sean Phillips, assinou um contrato de cinco anos para produzir quadrinhos exclusivamente para a Image Comics. Sob os termos do acordo, a Image publicará qualquer história em quadrinhos que o autor lhes traga sem precisar submeter a ideia para aprovação primeiro. Brubaker disse que esse arranjo é algo que ele sempre quis. A primeira série lançada sob este contrato foi The Fade Out. Em 2018, o contrato de exclusividade foi renovado para mais cinco anos.

Em 2016, Brubaker integrou a equipe de roteiristas do seriado de TV Westworld, da HBO. Ele co-escreveu o episódio "Dissonance Theory" com Jonathan Nolan. Nos quadrinhos, iniciou a série Kill or Be Killed. Em 2018, Brubaker e Phillips lançaram a graphic novel My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies, vencedora do Eisner de melhor álbum inédito. O autor voltou ao meio audiovisual escrevendo a série Too Old to Die Young, em colaboração com Nicolas Winding Refn.

No ano de 2019, Brubaker e Phillips publicaram a graphic novel Bad Weekend, expandindo uma história contada em Criminal. No mesmo ano foi anunciada uma nova graphic novel original da dupla, Pulp, a ser lançada em maio de 2020. Já em 2020, Brubaker anunciou o lançamento da série em quadrinhos Friday, criada em colaboração com o artista Marcos Martin e disponibilizada através da plataforma digital Panel Syndicate.

Letícia Parente, née en 1930 à Salvador, Bahia et morte en 1991 à Rio de Janeiro, est une artiste visuelle brésilienne spécialisée dans l'art vidéo politiquement engagé. Ses courts métrages surréalistes présentent des éléments de l'art corporel et de l'art de la performance. Une grande partie de son travail est centrée sur la protestation contre l'utilisation de la torture de masse par la dictature militaire au Brésil tout au long des années 1970. Outre son activité d'activiste et d'artiste, Letícia Parente est également titulaire d'un doctorat en chimie et n'a jamais quitté sa carrière scientifique après avoir découvert l'art.

Biographie
Letícia Parente entre dans le monde de l'art en 1971, à l'âge de 41 ans. Elle étudie les techniques d'impression au Núcleo de Artes e Criatividade à Rio de Janeiro. Peu de temps après, elle rencontre des artistes comme Anna Bella Geiger et Sonia Andrade qui l'initient à l'art vidéo.

Création artistique
Letícia Parente occupe une place très importante dans l'histoire de l'art contemporain et de la vidéo au Brésil. La plus connue de ses œuvres est Marca Registrada , un film muet VHS qui représente l'artiste en train de coudre les mots « MADE IN BRASIL » sur la plante de son pied. Un autre film de la même période, In, suit Letícia Parente alors qu'elle se suspend à l'aide d'un cintre de commode dans un placard. Selon l'artiste Myriam Gurba, cette vidéo fait en partie allusion à l'exécution du journaliste brésilien Vladimir Herzog. La police tente alors de faire passer sa mort comme un suicide mais des traces de torture sont visibles sur son corps.

Œuvres choisies
 Marca Registrada (1975)
 In (1975)
 Preparação I (1975)
 Tarefa I (1982)
