At IETF 88, as part of an ongoing effort to foster better understanding between the Internet's technical and regulatory communities, the Internet Society (ISOC) hosted ten policymakers from South America, Africa, and Asia.
The Internet Society Policymakers Programme to the IETF facilitates exchange between government policymakers and IETF leaders by providing visiting policymakers with an overview of how the IETF works and key issues affecting the Internet's continued growth. Via this programme since 2012, ISOC has hosted more than 50 individuals from 40 governments to attend IETF meetings.
All of the policymakers who attended IETF 88 work for government agencies that oversee the telecommunications and/or ICT sectors in countries including Brazil, Kenya, and Vietnam. At IETF 88, these policymakers were given presentations about the IETF, including its mission and how it develops open standards through an ethos of rough consensus and running code. Leaders from across the IETF community explained working groups and leadership committees and how documents such as Request for Comments (RFCs) and best current practices (BCPs) are produced.
Experts from the IETF community gave policymakers an overview of the big-picture challenges that the Internet faces, including mobility, bandwidth constraints and the emergence of new applications. This programme is also an opportunity for the IETF community to listen and learn about the priorities of policymakers.
Fred Baker, Cisco Fellow and former IETF chair, gave presentations about border gateway protocol (BGP) routing and the history of the Internet.
Mark Kosters, chief technology officer of the American Registry for Internet Numbers, provided a deep dive into Internet protocol (IP) addressing, with an explanation of the differences between IPv4 and IPv6.
Former Internet Architecture Board Chair Olaf Kolkman, director of NLnet Labs, gave a talk about the domain name system (DNS) and the need to secure it with DNS security extensions.
Geoff Huston, chief scientist at Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre, spoke about the concept of quality of service in the Internet in comparison to predecessor voice-only networks.
Alvaro Retana, a Cisco distinguished engineer, spoke about the impact of the IETF on Internet development, including the group's new efforts to harden the Internet against pervasive monitoring attacks and to improve the diversity of its membership.
Milton Kaoru Kashiwakura, director of the Brazilian NIC, gave a talk about regional interconnection from Latin America.
They also attended the Internet Governance Update (igovupdate) Birds of a Feather session, which all of the policymakers noted was a highlight of the week. This session was sponsored by the Internet Architecture Board to discuss IANA matters.
The Internet Society will provide a similar set of presentations for a new group of policymakers at IETF 89 in London that include senior policy leaders from Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

Exhibit puts women war artists at the forefront
In Arts & Culture March 16, 2018 Leave a Comment
By Premila D'Sa
A new exhibit at the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre (MLC) is shining the spotlight on the forgotten work of female artists during the First World War.
"Parallels" is a joint collaboration between the MLC and the Canadian Centre for the Great War (CCGW), featuring the works of a triad of female artists: photographer Elsie Holloway, sculptor Francis Loring, and landscape painter Mary Riter Hamilton.
Curator Caitlin Bailey, who serves as the executive director at CCGW decided to put the women in a single exhibit. She found out about Holloway through a blog post published by her centre, and decided to dig deeper, leading her to the other two.
"They all created a representation of the war but they had such different experiences and I wanted to put that together."
The exhibition is the first of its kind. There's been no in-depth look at war art created by women from the First World War.
Dr. Irene Gammel, Canadian research chair at the MLC says that women have usually been neglected in the consideration of war itself.
"It's probably because at the time war was still very much considered a male terrain," Gammel said. "So there were only few women who pushed against those boundaries and asserted their perspective."
The exhibition marks the first public announcement of Mary Riter Hamilton's real birth date, a fact Gammel spent years trying to corroborate. Bailey says Gammel's been trying to get other history institutions to adjust the date, but there's no interest. Bailey and Gammel both say information on the women was hard to find, because there wasn't much interest in their work, an effect of their gender.
"Mary Riter Hamilton is a footnote," said Bailey. "All of these women with possibly the exception of Francis Loring are footnotes in art history and it's very hard to find information on them.
"I think going forward we need to be more diligent in chasing these kinds of things down."
Bailey says the focus of the exhibition isn't necessarily the work these women produced but instead the social context that defined it.
"I realized when you read about all these people, there's a sort of romanticization of their role. It's like 'Oh they painted the homefront, they were so strong for painting the homefront, what brave people' but when I started looking into it, it was like 'Yeah, they did paint the homefront but there were very particular set of social conditions which meant that was all they could paint or represent."
A journal featuring the paintings of Mary Riter Hamilton who was commissioned the the War Amputees to document war landscapes.
Mary Riter Hamilton wasn't allowed at the warfront, until a commission from the War Amputees of Canada given to her after the war, which she used to depict the devastated landscapes left after the war. Elsie Holloway, constrained to the homefront, photographed soldiers before they left for war. Francis Loring, similarly sculpted figures at the homefront.
Bailey says the female perspective plays a role in the how well the works have aged.
"The art that was produced under the Canadian War Memorial's fund commission doesn't age well because it has a very patriotic view or its very made for it's time, it's super nationalistic," said Bailey. "These age beautifully because of the humanity in them and I think that is a factor of the women because they were acutely aware of grief, of loneliness, of passing of time."
Besides the difficulty in researching the women, getting interest in the exhibition was its own challenge. "Parallels" was intentionally promoted on International Women's Day.
"There's has to be a public interest for this outside of women's day. It's hard to get public interest outside of women's day, it's very hard," said Bailey. "If we promoted this in June it wouldn't have the same result."
Gammel and Bailey both hope the field of curating starts opening up to more perspectives. Bailey says she considers herself an "oddity" in the male dominated field of war studies.
Gammel hopes the exhibition peaks interest in often forgotten, marginalized narratives in history.
"That is part of the work we are hoping to do here, we really want to insert women's perspective, we want to insert gender as a category for considering the war itself, that is something that has begun in scholarship but still has a ways to go."

Blog: Four things to know about Neu's 100 Day Transition Plan
by Ben Felder
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o4JYTjRUFc]
Citing a recent survey that showed just 13 percent of OKC community members are satisfied with the state of the OKC district, Neu outlined five critical issues he wants to address as a part of his 100 Day Transition Plan Report. Those critical issues include increasing academic performance, especially among minority students, building safety, overcrowding on the district's southside, improving central office support and embracing new innovation and technology.
"This is not a finger pointing exercise, this is the state of our schools," Neu said.
Neu's presentation came in front of one of the largest school board crowds and gathering of media outlets in the past few years. While he has continually called his new position a great opportunity, Neu took a somber town Monday in discussing the district's challenges, which many in the audience were well aware of.
Neu presented dozens of goals and there are more on the way as The Great Conversation community forum continues its work on developing district benchmarks. You will find a special Web page in the coming days that will offer an organized list of those goals and regular updates on how the district is doing at meeting those goals.
But following Neu's presentation at Monday's school board meeting, here are four things to know.
1) Won't 'rob Peter to pay Paul'
While the reaction on Twitter during Neu's presentation Monday night was generally positive, some were skeptical at how the district could commit more resources to struggling schools without taking away from schools that are demonstrating success.
It's a valid concern considering the actions of the district in recent years, but Neu said that would not happen on his watch.
"I will not take anything from [successful] schools ... I will not rob Peter to pay Paul," Neu said in an interview Tuesday. "Nobody will lose anything to shift costs or expenditures elsewhere."
Neu said the district would look for money from private sources and a 2016 bond issue could also provide funds for building upgrades that Neu said were sorely needed.
2) Minority report
Neu wants to see academic improvement in all students, but in his presentation he spoke directly about the need to focus more on African American students, especially boys.
Just 49 percent African American students in grades third through eighth are considered proficient in reading. Sixty percent of students of all races living in poverty are proficient in reading.
"We need to focus on our African American students," Neu said. "There is a double hit of living in poverty and being African American in Oklahoma City."
Graduation rates by race show that African American students do better than all other groups except Asian students. However, Neu said that was an indication that many African American students are being unfairly advanced or drop out of school.
"With the poor academic performance shown among our African American students, compared to the number of Hispanic students graduating, there is reason to believe that there has been a practice of passing along some students and exiting other students prematurely," Neu said.
3) Bond, 2016 Bond
Neu addressed the need to pass a 2016 bond proposal that will address school overcrowding, replace an aging bus fleet, improve security systems at schools, update playgrounds and address other improvement needs.
4) Security upgrades
During a time of growing concern over the school security, Neu said the district has just three members of its security team. That's a far cry from the 57 in Tulsa.

Kyiv moves to restore pre-Soviet Ukrainian spellings, infuriating Moscow
"Ukrainian language = our independence"
2018/08/24 - 13:40 • Culture, More, Ukraine
Maksym Strikha, the head of the Ukrainian National Commission o Morphology, yesterday announced the introduction of new rules that will restore Ukrainian spellings to what they were in 1919 before the Soviet regime "Russianized" Ukrainian. He said the new rules would make the Ukrainian language richer and better reflect Ukrainian traditions.
But Moscow commentators are furious, seeing this as yet another Ukrainian effort to distance Ukrainians from Russians and, what is even worse from their point of view, restoring a system that was promoted by anti-Bolshevik Ukrainians like Simon Petlyura during the Russian Civil War.
The most notable changes involve changing the rules for transliteration when Ukrainian borrows from another language. In Soviet times, Moscow insisted that Kyiv follow rules paralleling those governing Russian; now, Kyiv is dropping those requirements and going back to pre-1917 patterns.
The morphology commission has laid out the details of its plan which is to be introduced via the schools and the media (mon.gov.ua and strana.ua).
Introducing these changes will be difficult because many will continue to use the spellings they are used to. But for Ukrainian as a national language, this program is every bit as important as the decision of some former Soviet republics to drop the Cyrillic alphabet in favor of the Latin. As such, it should be supported by all who wish Ukraine well.
Would shift to Latin script liberate Ukrainian or destroy it?

FilmL.A. Pilot Production Report Gives L.A. Good Marks for TV, 2017 Pilot Production Report
FilmLA August 2, 2017 News Releases, Research2 Comments
FilmL.A., the not-for-profit film office serving the Greater Los Angeles region, today announced the release of a new report prepared by its research division. FilmL.A.'s 2017 Pilot Production Report provides updated insight from the organization's long-running study of new television projects and promising series.
FilmL.A.'s official count shows that 173 broadcast, cable and digital pilots (109 Dramas, 64 Comedies) were produced during the 2016-17 development cycle, more than two dozen fewer than the previous year.
Out of those 173 pilots, a total of 68 projects (22 Dramas, 46 Comedies) were filmed in the Los Angeles region, yielding an estimated $303 million in production spending. Despite a slight drop in overall pilots produced since last year, Greater L.A.'s share of overall pilot production by project count remains unchanged at 39 percent.
"Despite this year's smaller crop of pilots, Los Angeles' television industry is robust," noted FilmL.A. President Paul Audley. "With so many projects under way, California is home to more scripted series than its top five competitors combined."
After L.A., top competitors for pilot production in 2015-16 included New York (with 24 projects), Vancouver/British Columbia (21 projects), Atlanta/Georgia (12 projects) and Toronto/Ontario (9 projects).
FilmL.A.'s report also examines straight-to-series show orders and digital pilot projects in production. A total of 65 network, cable and digital shows were ordered straight-to-series in the 2016-17 cycle. Cable networks put 29 shows into production, while digital networks launched 27 shows and broadcast networks launched 9 shows straight-to-series.
"When it comes to television, L.A. production has never been stronger," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl. "This report demonstrates that L.A. is still the place to shoot, whether you're producing pilots or series. And as a former actress, I am well aware of how many jobs each and every one of those episodes generates."
FilmL.A.'s report closes with a discussion of live action scripted series production in California and beyond.
By FilmL.A.'s count, there are 173 series currently in production in California, out of 426 sampled series currently in production across network, cable and digital distribution channels. That includes 62 Los Angeles-based drama series, 30 of which receive the California Film & Television Tax Credit. Taken together, California-based incentivized series will spend an estimated $1.72 billion during the present season.
"If you grew up in Detroit, someone on your block worked for a car manufacturer or owned a business where autoworkers spent their paychecks. Here in L.A., the same goes for our entertainment industry — it's the bedrock of our middle class," noted Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. "Today's report further demonstrates the importance of our California Film and Television Tax Credit, which is keeping production where it belongs — in Los Angeles — and making our city home to more scripted television than its top competitors combined. We're hearing a lot of good news from the entertainment industry, but we have to keep investing in our middle class — and that means restoring our market share of pilot production."

United States Constitutional and Legal History
Boston Strangler
Opposition to Vaccination
Professor Rogers' research and teaching focuses on the U.S. Constitution and American legal history. His most recent book and a cluster of scholarly articles focused on the death penalty in Massachusetts. He is currently working on two projects: the contested intersection of faith healing and the First Amendment; and a history of the anti-vaccination movement from 1721 to 2009, for which he was awarded a New England Regional Consortium Fellowship. Professor Alan Rogers is the author of six books, including The Child Cases: How America's Religious Exemption Laws Harm Children (2014), Murder and the Death Penalty in Massachusetts (2008), and New England Remembers: The Boston Strangler, a historical look at the evidence pointing to Albert DeSalvo as the killer. Rogers is currently working on a book about the history of opposition to vaccination. He has appeared on CBS This Morning and in various local media entities.


Getting To 30 reassures parents who worry: Will our child ever leave home, find love, start a career, settle down, and become a grown-up? It's the book that shows parents how the time spent in emerging adulthood—which may sometimes look like flailing—actually helps kids become happier, healthier grown-ups.
Inspired by Elizabeth's two 20-something sons and Jeff's two decades of studying (and naming) emerging adulthood, Getting To 30 draws on the authors' 90 in-depth personal interviews, an online survey, and two national polls.
Getting To 30 guides parents in the dance of stepping back, but staying connected. It also helps them explore this uncharted territory in their own lives as they move from full-time parenting to a new life-stage with its own questions, possibilities, and dreams.
For more about Getting To 30 and author appearances, visit Getting To 30 on Facebook.
Link to Nate Houghteling's book trailer on YouTube for Grown-Up Kid.
Elizabeth hosts a lively community of talented women writers in her Wednesday and Friday writers' groups which offer creative support, inspiration, thoughtful feedback, and guidance on getting published. More information is available on the Wednesday Writers website.
At PBS's nextavenue.org (with coauthor Jeffrey Arnett) about launching 20-somethings and your life post-parenting.
At aarp.org (with coauthor Jeffrey Arnett) about parenting issues during emerging adulthood, like finding love and looking for work, money matters, moving in with parents or moving on.


POLICE have called for parents' help in the fight against hooligans spreading misery through Winsford estates.
POLICE have called for parents' help in the fight against hooligans spreading misery through Winsford estates.
Inspector Brian Roberts, of Winsford police, walked around crime-hit Siddorn Street, where a gang of vandals have terrorised officials at the Liberal Club, and Willow Square at Wharton, which has also become a hot-spot of anti-social behaviour.
And he is determined his officers will come down hard on the gangs who have made many residents scared to leave their homes at night, by targeting them with new police powers including curfew orders, Anti-Social Behaviour Orders and Acceptable Behaviour Contracts.
But the former drug squad officer, who is now responsible for community policing in Vale Royal, says parents should take responsibility for their children for the good of the community.
He says he will be asking parents and guardians two questions, 'Do you know where you child was last night?' and 'Do you know what they were doing?'.
Insp Roberts said: 'I have been looking at the anti-social behaviour problems faced by the residents in Siddorn Street and Willow Square.
'I feel very strongly that this is not only a police problem but an issue for the whole community to address. People should not have to tolerate anti-social behaviour and we all need to shift the culture to one where communities are helped and supported to uphold standards.
'We can all make an impact. I cannot continually send my staff out to react to reports of this nature without addressing the issue long-term.
'We can do this by supporting and working together. Individuals and organisations who are determined to address these problems need to stand together.
He added: 'The CAT teams will collate the names of the offending youths and, if bringing the matter to the attention of the parents does not work and the same people come to the attention of the police for any anti-social behaviour, I will arrange for the core offenders to be dealt with by means of ASBOs.

As we find ourselves entering a new decade, it might serve us well to first take one last look back at the highlights of 2009, as there are a number of wideranging musical highlights full of genius and innovation worth both high critical praise and repeat listens.
"Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix"—Phoenix: Fastpaced and filled from start to finish with optimistic, wide-eyed lyrical melodies, the brilliantly-titled "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" is a catchy triumph that finds the French rock trio conveying the best of The Strokes and The Killers to create this wonderful cocktail of instrumentals, hooks and disco. Highlights such as "Lasso" and the brilliant "1901" show the Frenchmen effortlessly channeling a naturally cool swagger that should vault them to superstardom.
"xx"—The xx: These four London youths combine echoy guitars, soft vocals and deep bass to create an impressively unique and atmospheric debut that is introverted and sometimes dark. Perhaps the best track on the album, "Crystallized," is spacious, echoing and beautiful warning to an overeager lover. "I'll forgive and forget / Before I'm paralyzed / Do I have to keep up the pace / To keep you satisfied," singer Romy Madley Croft wonders out loud. Using an ultra-minimalistic formula, the British goth kids have concocted a tense, beautiful album that is both attractive and haunting.
"The Ecstatic"—Mos Def: Contrary to what Grammy results might lead you to believe, the best rap album of 2009 was mos def not "Relapse," Eminem's comical failure of an effort. Instead, on "The Ecstatic," the eternally respected Brooklyn MC Mos Def mixes his deft poetic ability with jazz beats, R&B hooks and a sprinkling of foreign influences. "You can't stop my go / I've been born to be where I am / Bright light from a distant Star / Miracles don't stop," he announces triumphantly on "Casa Bey." The penultimate track "History," Mos Def reunites with Black Star partner Talib Kweli and lays down a smart, nostalgic verse that shows he's still at the top of his game.
"The Fame Monster"—Lady Gaga: Say what you like about garish costumes and thumping dance-club ubiquity, but the bottom line is that (like it or not) Gaga, who has churned out chart-toppers with astonishing regularity over the past year, is a figure who has reinvented the figure of pop queen like no individual since Madonna. "The Fame Monster" will probably repulse any non-fan, but offers an interesting glimpse into the life of this flamboyant, otherworldly figure. The explosive, attention grabbing, "Bad Romance," (similar to "Poker Face," except way more badass) is by far the best pop song of the year, and is clear indicator that the eccentric New Yorker is no Katy Perry. In other words, she's here to stay.
Neko Case—"Middle Cyclone": The title says it all. The talented singer-songwriter channels a whirlwind of animalistic qualities-hunger, desire, anger-into a collection of emotional revelations that range from hopeful to brooding. Whether Case is evoking naturalistic imagery on the track "Magpie in the Morning," or imagining herself as a killer whale with "People Got a Lotta Nerve," every word drips with authentic emotion and self-awareness.

Der Verein zur Veranstaltung von Kunstausstellungen ist ein eingetragener Verein in Düsseldorf, der 1898 von Fritz Roeber initiiert und am 31. Mai 1900 förmlich gegründet wurde, um regelmäßig große Kunstausstellungen in einem dafür zu errichtenden Ausstellungsgebäude, dem späteren Kunstpalast, abzuhalten und dadurch die Entwicklung der Kunst in Düsseldorf zu fördern. Seinen Sitz hat er heute im Künstler-Atelierhaus Sittarder Straße 5 in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort. Bis heute organisiert er die Große Kunstausstellung Düsseldorf und setzt eine Jury zusammen, die alljährlich den Kunstpreis der Künstler vergibt. Hierzu wird ihm in der Satzung der Stiftung des Museums Kunstpalast das Recht garantiert, alljährlich eine Kunstausstellung abzuhalten.

Geschichte

Nach dem Vorbild des ab 1897 errichteten Petit Palais der Weltausstellung Paris 1900 ersehnten sich Protagonisten der Düsseldorfer Künstlerschaft im Verein der Düsseldorfer Künstler und um Fritz Roeber, damals Sekretär der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, ab 1908 deren Direktor, ein Gebäude für repräsentative Kunstausstellungen in Düsseldorf. Hierzu organisierten sie sich 1898 zu einem Verein, der am 31. Mai 1900 förmlich gegründet wurde. Zum Vorsitzenden des Vereins wurde einstimmig Fritz Roeber gewählt, der einem Vorstand von 12 Personen vorsaß. Die Geschäftsstelle des Vereins residierte anfangs im Malkasten-Haus. Durch Ratsbeschlüsse vom 21. Februar 1899 und vom 19. September 1917 wurde dem Verein das Vorrecht eingeräumt, jederzeit Kunstausstellungen im Kunstpalast zu veranstalten.

Eng verflochten war dieses Projekt mit der Düsseldorfer Stadtentwicklung am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. In der Phase der Hochindustrialisierung nahm die prosperierende Stadt Düsseldorf zur Lösung von Fragen des Hafenbaus und des Hochwasserschutzes die Projekte eines neuen Hafens auf der Lausward und der Rheinufervorschiebung einschließlich einer Anhebung der Golzheimer Insel in Angriff. Fritz Roeber setzte sich in dieser Situation dafür ein, einen dabei gewonnenen Bauplatz am Pempelforter Rheinufer – nördlich der ab 1896 errichteten Oberkasseler Brücke – für die Errichtung eines Ausstellungsgebäudes zu nutzen. Das Ausstellungsgebäude sollte mit einer Gewerbe- und Industrieausstellung auf der Golzheimer Insel kombiniert werden, für die es viele Fürsprecher in den Vorständen der Großindustrie gab, nachdem die 1880 in Düsseldorf abgehaltene Gewerbe-Ausstellung für Rheinland, Westfalen und benachbarte Bezirke in Verbindung mit der 4. Allgemeinen Deutschen Kunst-Ausstellung sehr erfolgreich gewesen war.

Das Ausstellungsgebäude hatte insbesondere den Zweck, den Düsseldorfer Künstlern, deren Schaffen in den Schatten der strahlenden Kunstmetropolen von München und Berlin geraten war, verbesserte Möglichkeiten der Präsentation und Vermarktung zu verschaffen. Naheliegend war dabei ein Schulterschluss mit der an Rhein und Ruhr boomenden Großindustrie, zu der Fritz Roeber als Mitbegründer und Mitglied des Düsseldorfer Central-Gewerbe-Vereins gute Verbindungen unterhielt. Zur Finanzierung des Gebäudes, das 1902 mit dem Kunstpalast in den Formen des Jugendstils Gestalt auf einem städtischen Grundstück annahm und in das Eigentum der Stadt Düsseldorf überging, wurden ein aus diversen öffentlichen und privaten Mitteln gespeister Bau- und Betriebsfonds sowie ein Garantiefonds aufgelegt und verzinste Anteilsscheine an Dritte ausgegeben, deren Erträge der Verein durch die Abhaltung von Kunstausstellungen erwirtschaften sollte. Hierzu erhielt der Verein ein dauerhaftes Ausstellungsrecht. Nachdem die Industrie- und Gewerbeausstellung Düsseldorf 1902 und die Internationale Kunst-Ausstellung und Große Gartenbau-Ausstellung 1904 bereits soviel Gewinn erwirtschaftet hatten, dass die Zeichner des Garantiefonds ausbezahlt werden konnten, fasste der Verein 1906 den Beschluss, alljährlich große Kunstausstellungen, wie sie in München und Berlin regelmäßig stattfanden, abzuhalten. In seiner Ausstellungspolitik geriet der Verein, in dem anfangs ein bürgerliches Kunstverständnis in der Tradition der Düsseldorfer Malerschule vorherrschte, bald in Konflikt mit der nachwachsenden Künstlergeneration, insbesondere der Bewegung Das Junge Rheinland.

Bis zum Jahr 1932 veranstaltete der Verein regelmäßig Kunstausstellungen im Kunstpalast. Nach dem Dritten Reich, in dem der Verein durch Gleichschaltung weitgehend entmündigt, zwar nicht aufgelöst, jedoch ruhend gestellt und durch  die 1934 gegründete Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Düsseldorfer bildenden Kunst in seinen Veranstaltungsfunktionen faktisch abgelöst worden war, nahm er im Jahre 1950 seine Arbeit wieder auf. Von 1950 bis 1977 fanden unter dem Titel "Winterausstellung der Künstler von Nordrhein-Westfalen" Ausstellungen im Kunstpalast statt. Seit 1978 trägt die nunmehr jährlich im Kunstpalast Düsseldorf stattfindende Ausstellung die Eigenbezeichnung "Grosse Kunstausstellung NRW Düsseldorf". Nach einem Umbau des Kunstpalasts, der mit der Ansiedlung des Konzernsitzes der E.ON hinter dem Ehrenhof verbunden war, kam es zu einer Reorganisition und dem Zusammenschluss dortiger Kulturinstitutionen unter dem Dach der Stiftung Museum Kunstpalast. In deren Satzung ließ sich der Verein ein Recht zur Abhaltung einer alljährlichen Ausstellung verbriefen.

Q: pandas using qcut on series with fewer values than quantiles I have thousands of series (rows of a DataFrame) that I need to apply qcut on. Periodically there will be a series (row) that has fewer values than the desired quantile (say, 1 value vs 2 quantiles):
>>> s = pd.Series([5, np.nan, np.nan])

When I apply .quantile() to it, it has no problem breaking into 2 quantiles (of the same boundary value)
>>> s.quantile([0.5, 1])
0.5    5.0
1.0    5.0
dtype: float64

But when I apply .qcut() with an integer value for number of quantiles an error is thrown:
>>> pd.qcut(s, 2)
...
ValueError: Bin edges must be unique: array([ 5.,  5.,  5.]).
You can drop duplicate edges by setting the 'duplicates' kwarg

Even after I set the duplicates argument, it still fails:
>>> pd.qcut(s, 2, duplicates='drop')
....
IndexError: index 0 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 0

How do I make this work? (And equivalently, pd.qcut(s, [0, 0.5, 1], duplicates='drop') also doesn't work.)
The desired output is to have the 5.0 assigned to a single bin and the NaN are preserved:
0     (4.999, 5.000]
1                NaN
2                NaN

A: Ok, this is a workaround which might work for you.
pd.qcut(s,len(s.dropna()),duplicates='drop')
Out[655]:
0    (4.999, 5.0]
1             NaN
2             NaN
dtype: category
Categories (1, interval[float64]): [(4.999, 5.0]]

A: You can try filling your object/number cols with the appropriate filling ('null' for string and 0 for numeric)
#fill numeric cols with 0
numeric_columns = df.select_dtypes(include=['number']).columns
df[numeric_columns] = df[numeric_columns].fillna(0)

#fill object cols with null
string_columns = df.select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns
df[string_columns] = df[string_columns].fillna('null')

A: Use python 3.5 instead of python 2.7 .
This worked for me

Discover Your Favourite Dance Style and Try New Ones!
How do dancers manage feats of strength, agility and control while appearing streamlined and graceful? Classical ballet training is their secret. A refined style characterised by a defined vocabulary of steps, poses and elegant movements, ballet aligns the body and elongates the muscles to achieve the toned dancer physique. Class starts with exercises at the barre followed by work in the centre of the floor, building up to turns and flying jumps. Don't be shy – you're never too old to discover the beauty and physical benefits of classical ballet.
Incorporating elements of ballet and modern dance, contemporary dance encourages natural fluid movement and self-expression, while developing a strong core and technique. Contemporary dance choreography often involves floor work, fall and recovery and improvisation. Classes start with a full-body warm-up and practice of dance choreography. You'll develop flexibility, strength, coordination and body awareness while relishing the freedom of expression.
Jazz dance represents our popular culture and music and is therefore always evolving. Originally inspired by African American and Caribbean dance styles, modern Theatre Jazz gained popularity on Broadway in the 1950s in high-energy shows such as Chicago, Cabaret and Grease. Street Jazz, also known as Jazz Funk, is influenced by today's pop music and hip-hop styles, and can be seen in concerts and video clips for artists such as Beyoncé and Britney Spears. Lyrical Jazz or Jazz Ballet combines the techniques of jazz and ballet and is a more melodic, expressive form of jazz, often danced to ballad music. Jazz is a great work-out for all ages and levels of ability, enhancing flexibility, movement and fitness levels and making you look hot on the dance floor.
Hip-hop is a street dance style that originated in the Bronx in New York in the 1970s. Constantly evolving, it is a free, funky and soulful expression of movement frequently seen in rap, R&B and pop music videos and concerts by artists such as Kanye West, Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. Combining isolations, sharp footwork, flexibility and coordination on beat-driven movements, hip-hop styles include breaking, popping, locking and krumping.
Chinese Dance
A physical expression of China's rich culture, Chinese dance is a refined style that originates from China's opera and martial arts dance traditions. Training incorporates breath-led fluid movements, stylised positions and gestures, stretching and athletic tricks. Stirring music and choreography adds to the fun of this expressive dance style.
An ideal complement to dance training, Pilates sequences help develop core strength and cultivate an internal awareness, leading to better posture, alignment, strength and coordination.
Immerse yourself in the passionate Spanish music as you learn this elegant and soulful dance defined by thunderous footwork and stylised, seductive movements.
Latin dance includes a wide range of dances originating in Latin America and Cuba, including Salsa, Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba and Jive. Learn the patterns (solo and partner), technique and expressions of your favourite Latin styles, and acquire the tools to choreograph and social dance during this sexy, confidence-enhancing class. You don't need a partner for this class.
Children's Ballet
Young dancers will be engaged through dance, music and play, progressing into basic ballet vocabulary and technique in a structured yet fun setting. Young dancers will discover grace, poise, confidence, coordination, rhythm, flexibility and musicality, and meet new friends through the joy of dance. No previous experience required.
Children's Creative Dance
Indulge your child's boundless energy and encourage creativity in our dance classes tailored specifically for little ones. Easy-to-follow routines paired with cool music will allow your children to develop a sense of rhythm and coordination while getting some exercise, boosting self-confidence and making new friends.

REVIEW: Elizabeth Hoyt's NOT THE DUKE'S DARLING (Greycourt #1)
Ah, Hoyt, who's written some of my favourite historical romances, The Leopard Prince and Duke Of Sin. Therefore, a new Hoyt series is always welcome and I happily plunged into Not the Duke's Darling as my first 2019 romance-read. Though it didn't reach the heights of my favourites, difficult to do given how much I love them, it was satisfying. In particular, the storylines and premise it sets up make me eager for the books-to-come.
Not the Duke's Darling is Georgian-set, Hoyt's time setting of choice, and centres around reunited childhood friends and former-best-friend's-younger-sister hero and heroine, Christopher Renshaw, Duke of Harlowe and Freya Stewart de Moray. The opening scene was thrilling, funny, and compelling. Freya is a member of a ancient, secret society, the "Wise Women", a group of proto-feminists sworn to help and protect women, persecuted as witches and now living in seclusion in an isolated part of Scotland. Freya, however, is one of their agents, living pseudonymously in society, aiding women, and keeping her ears and eyes alert to threats to the group. In the opening scene, Freya is helping a baby-lordling and his widowed mother escape the clutches of an evil uncle, intent on using the infant-lord to control his estates.
Desperate to escape pursuing thugs, Freya, baby, and nurse tumble into a nobleman's carriage, Christopher's carriage. Freya recognizes Christopher as the man who stood by and watched as her brother was beaten fifteen years ago, when they were all friends in Scotland. (This backstory serves to re-introduce some of the characters involved in that life-changing incident, while others hover, ready to be brought in in later volumes.) Christopher, on the other hand, doesn't immediately recognize Freya, but does find her exciting and beautiful, if a tad crazy. He helps save baby and Freya and she is able to hand the one and half year old Earl of Brightwater over to his mother, who spirits him away to America. Freya then meets with anther Wise Woman, the "Crow," who warns her that the Wise Women want her return to their Scottish sanctuary. Freya wants to stay in England to investigate the instigator of a new Witch Act in Parliament, sure to destroy the Wise Women. That instigator is Lord Randolph. Working as ladies' companion to the Holland family, Freya finds herself on the way to a country estate party at the Lovejoys, whose holdings abut Lord Randolph's. An ideal opportunity. Moreover, Freya also wants to reunite with Christopher, to exact revenge for what happened to her brother, especially when she noticed, in the carriage, that Christopher wore her brother's signet ring.
In the meanwhile, Christopher, ever haunted by the mad, beautiful woman who fell into his carriage, is confronted by his own problems. A handsome little creep, Thomas Plimpton, is blackmailing him over some letters Christopher's deceased wife exchanged. As Plimpton is to attend the same house-party to which Freya has been invited, Christopher makes his way there. The romance then becomes a working out of their past, the push-pull of their attraction, and their pursuit of Plimpton and the witch-hating parliamentarian, Lord Randolph. Moreover, other figures from that original traumatic scene appear at the house-party: the sisters, one of whom was Freya's childhood friend, Messalina, of the man who caused Ran's beating, Julian Greycourt.
That it took me three long, inelegant paragraphs to reach the point where I can express an opinion about the book may tell you something about its weakness and strength. Hoyt can't write a bad book if her life depended on it. She drew me in with her creation of this Wise Woman society and especially with the conversations among the women of the house-party. Lady Holland, Freya's employer, turns out to be a sympathetic, forward-thinking character, an anti-Mrs.-Bennett, smart and concerned for her daughters' happiness as opposed to their marrying up and rich. Freya's reconciliation with Messalina is wonderful, as is Messalina herself. Though the muffin-eating, sword-wielding sister, Lucretia, steals the show in one priceless scene. The mysterious beating, the reasons behind it (Ran was thought, at the time, to have killed the Greycourts' sister, Aurelia, not true, of course, but it brought about the estrangement among the close-knit friends), the proto-feminist society and what they stand for, Christopher's own sad backstory, and the delightful dog, Tess.
Hoyt is setting up a compelling, original series: what she didn't accomplish is the development of Freya and Christopher's relationship. In order to introduce her overarching series narrative, Freya and Christopher and even Tess sound as one-note wonders. Christopher, no matter how one-quirked-eyebrow roguishly handsome he is, is a man of fidelity, decency, and care for others, protective and loving toward Freya and all women. He sees Freya, is attracted to her, likes her, realizes who she is, woos her and wants her throughout. Freya, on the other hand, is fiercely independent and wary, wary of marriage and commitment and the way it might thwart her work with the Wise Women and her own freedom. As smart and good as Freya and Christopher were, it was hard not to see how they couldn't NOT be together, how they couldn't NOT work out their differences, especially Freya. She's too smart not to recognize Christopher's value, how he would only ever stand by her, never thwart or diminish her. There's a lot of sex, well, not a lot, not till the last third: it's good it takes Freya and Christopher a while to become lovers, but when they do, it's at least a love scene a chapter. So, there's a lot of sex, but not much tension, the emotional stakes don't seem to be that high. And, frankly, the love scenes are over-wrought, trying to make up in heightened language what is lacking in development.
In the end, Not the Duke's Darling great strength is Hoyt's world-building: the families, that past incident that will need to be worked out, the potential in all those marvelous characters waiting to have their story told, the atmosphere of danger and, the potential presence of characters, some still at loggerheads, who will serve as a merry band against evil. I loved Not the Duke's Darling for what is to come and I liked Not the Duke's Darling for its likable, compatible couple and the binding role they will come to play in the other characters' lives. I loved the women and their friendships/relationships the most of all. With Miss Austen, we say that Hoyt's first Greycourt novel offers "real comfort," Emma.
Elizabeth Hoyt's Not the Duke's Darling is published by Forever (Grand Central Publishing). It was released on December 18, 2018, and may be found at your preferred vendor. I received a Digital Galley Edition from Forever via Netgalley, as well as a paper copy.

REVIEW: Sherri Shackelford's NO SAFE PLACE »
5 thoughts on "REVIEW: Elizabeth Hoyt's NOT THE DUKE'S DARLING (Greycourt #1)"
Oooohhhh!!!! I missed this completely. I am very much a fan of Ms Hoyt's Maiden Lane novels, and this sounds lovely. I think I would be happy with the lack of real conflict here–I am not dealing very well with the conflict in real life, so I'm hoping for low angst in my reading.
There's a lot of dastardly danger, but the h/h are really, though the lady doth protest too much, quite low-key together.
Kathy (Toying with pearls...(
'…past, the push-pull of their attraction, and their pursuit of Plimpton and the witch-hating parliamentarian' – Artfully alliterative! 😉
I've hesitated about this one. I think what has disappointed me in the past, some of EH's books tended to, as you point out, substitute overwrought love scenes in exchange for real, honest communication and working through conflict and issues or the lack of sexual or emotional tension between the h/h. I'm not particularly avowing a need for both h/h to have that communion of the mind and spirit before the bedroom scenes, but when the physical relationship is an integral part of truly seeing/knowing of the other… Well, that makes me a happy reader and the HEA all the more credible. That bit of spice is needed to save an otherwise bland dish (to use a food metaphor) and only augments the significance of the h/h love scenes. It is an element I anticipate. Otherwise, it just feels like page filler to me, and I quickly skim or lose interest altogether.
However, I think I'll pick this one up just because I'm intrigued by Messalina and the "muffin-eating sword-wielding" Lucretia. Thank you for this review
"Artfully alliterative" … without even realizing it!!!
I think, in the end, other than Duke of Sin and The Leopard Prince, I really do read Hoyt's books more for the entire oeuvre, the narrative ARC, the package deal, than I do for the individual romances. Though her early heroines, at least, were really quite interesting. And usually the love scenes are much better than these. BUT I like reading her series more than I like each book, so I always look forward to the next volume. We readers, we be fickle sometimes!
I'm on it! She's an auto-read for me.


Have you tried felted wool dryer balls?
Many options exist to help dry your laundry faster and keep it free from static. But have you looked at the list of ingredients on those scented dryer sheets? Even the unscented ones are full of chemicals.
Instead of loading your laundry – that soft, precious fabric that touches your skin every day – with stinky chemicals that are in dryer sheets, these felted wool dryer balls will do the same job in less time. In a nutshell: The wool soaks up some of the moisture in your laundry as it dries, but then evenly distributes it into the air – helping your dryer stay humid longer, which greatly reduces static cling. In addition, this "soaking and releasing" action makes your clothes dry faster. And all of these things together mean fewer wrinkles. Best of all, they'll last up to 1000 uses or more! That's years without having to worry a single bit about static, dryer sheets, wrinkles and, buying supplies. This is the best part of felted dryer balls.
100% wool balls increase fluffiness & reduce static as dryer loads tumble.
Maybe you're using those plastic PVC dryer balls because you don't want the chemical scents from commercial products coating your laundry. The problem is, plastic releases all kinds of nasty chemicals when it's heated. Ditto for tennis balls. Wool dryer balls are a much more natural, chemical-free alternative to all the other options out there.
Just throw these babies in the dryer with your freshly washed clothes, and let them do their work! For regular loads, use at least 4-6 balls to notice a decrease in drying time. For large loads, use 6 or more wool balls. The more you use, the more quickly your clothes will dry.
Store your dryer balls in the dryer between uses or display them in a basket in your laundry room. (They're pretty!) If you want to lightly scent your laundry you can add 1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil to each ball before throwing in the dryer. If you're using a good quality, pure essential oil, you will not have trouble with the oils spotting your clothes.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) knew about flaws in software made by Apple, Google and Samsung and others, but did not tell the companies about them because it wanted to use them for spying, anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks says.
WikiLeaks has released 8761 documents dating from 2013 to 2016 from an "isolated, high-security network" in the CIA's suburban Washington headquarters which detail how it can take control of mobile phones, computer operating systems and even smart televisions to spy on targets.
WikiLeaks claimed the secret files were its "largest ever" publication of confidential CIA material which exposes hacking tools the US government employs to tap into private computers, mobile phones and smart TVs.
The documents have revealed the scope of the Centre for Cyber Intelligence's cyber-espionage toolkit, including its capability to use private devices such as Apple's iPhone, Google's Android, Microsoft's Windows and Samsung TVs as covert microphones.
The WikiLeaks report stated that the whistleblower had called for "urgent" public debate about whether the CIA's hacking capabilities exceed its mandated powers and the problem of public oversight of the agency.
"The source wishes to initiate a public debate about the security, creation, use, proliferation and democratic control of cyberweapons," the report stated.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a statement that there was an "extreme proliferation risk in the development of cyber weapons".
"Comparisons can be drawn between the uncontrolled proliferation of such 'weapons', which results from the inability to contain them combined with their high market value, and the global arms trade," Mr Assange said.
The increasing sophistication of surveillance techniques has been known to draw chilling parallels to George Orwell's novel 1984, and WikiLeaks has argued 'Weeping Angel', developed by the CIA's Embedded Devices Branch, which can infest smart TVs and transform them into covert microphones, is "surely its most emblematic realisation".
"After infestation, Weeping Angel places the target TV in a 'Fake-Off' mode, so that the owner falsely believes the TV is off when it is on," the report stated.
"In 'Fake-Off' mode the TV operates as a bug, recording conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server.
CIA spokesman Jonathan Liu said the agency would not be commenting on the security breach.
"We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents," he said in a statement.
Year Zero, containing 8761 documents, is the first part in a series of leaks WikiLeaks has code-named Vault 7.
The leak follows the radical transparency platform's disclosure of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election last month.
