The Problem With Diversity In Art And Tech
Forbes, by Ann Binlot
Both the worlds of art and diversity are run predominantly by straight white men, and a few organizations like Out in Tech are trying to do something about it by promoting diversity in the world of tech. Out in Tech brings the LGBTQ+ and the tech communities together. Last November 14, the organization had an event at art gallery Lehmann Maupin's new Chelsea space as lesbian artist Catherine Opie's exhibition The Modernist hung at the gallery. That night, Out in Tech announced a new initiative that connects LGBTQ+ youth, particularly those who are people of color, to internships in the tech world. I asked George Wells, the COO of Lehmann Maupin board member of Out in Tech, about the problem with diversity in the worlds of art and tech, and what can be done to facilitate change.

Lehmann Maupin Opens the Doors to Its New Peter Marino–Designed Flagship
Introspective, by Pilar Viladas
Since its founding by Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin in 1996, Lehmann Maupin has been known for championing the work of groundbreaking artists like Teresita Fernández, Do Ho Suh, Mickalene Thomas and Nari Ward. Now, the New York gallery (which also has outposts in Hong Kong and Seoul) has opened a new three-story space in Chelsea.
Rachel Lehmann And David Maupin Discuss New Chelsea Flagship, Their Drive For Equality In Art
Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin founded their gallery Lehmann Maupin in 1996 with a storefront in New York's SoHo neighborhood. Since then, Lehmann Maupin has turned into a global art powerhouse with locations in New York, Hong Kong, and Seoul, showing artists like Mickalene Thomas, OSGEMEOS, McArthur Binion, Catherine Opie, Gilbert & George, Teresita Fernandez, Juergen Teller, and more. The duo recently expanded to a massive 8,500-square-foot, three-story flagship in Chelsea where a Getty Gas Station once stood, in the new Peter Marino-designed Getty building. An exhibition by Liza Lou served as the gallery's inaugural show, featuring intricate beaded wall hangings made in part by women in South Africa. Lou would then explore the materiality of the beaded panels by smashing and destroying them to create textured patterns within the work. I quizzed Lehmann and Maupin about the strategy behind selecting the space, how they planned its design, diversity in the art world, and what's next for the global gallery.

With almost every inch of New York's West Chelsea neighbourhood now claimed, an exciting new residentialbuilding has sprouted up where the iconic Getty gas station once stood. Designed by Peter Marino, The Getty is comprised of six apartments – five full floor units and a single duplex penthouse with a roof terrace and private pool – and houses the Hill Art Foundation and the latest outpost of the Lehmann Maupin art gallery on the first four floors

Two days before its official opening, Lehmann Maupin's Chelsea gallery is already teeming with visitors. Artists, employees, and friends are either prepping the space for the onslaught of attention soon to follow or admiring the newly installed works, which play with light and shadow on the ivory walls. One visitor is Liza Lou, the L.A.-based artist who works primarily with glass and beads and whose solo show will open the gallery later in the week. With a quiet confidence, Lou walks among her intricate creations lining the double-height space, her eyes bright.
Take a Look Inside Lehmann Maupin's New Peter Marino–Designed Gallery
Galerie, by Julie Baumgardner
For two decades, Lehmann Maupin has championed some of contemporary art's most beloved luminaries, such as Do Ho Suh, Juergen Teller, and Mickalene Thomas. Founded by Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin in 1996, the gallery has had multiple homes around New York, as well as one in Hong Kong and another in Seoul to match its growing profile. Now it occupies the former site of the Getty—gas station, that is—which was an indelible landmark in New York's Chelsea neighborhood. As of early September, Lehmann Maupin's space is in a mixed-use residential building developed by the Victor Group, fittingly dubbed the Getty.
Liza Lou to Open Lehmann Maupin's New Chelsea Gallery on September 6
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce Liza Lou: The Classification and Nomenclature of Clouds as the inaugural exhibition of the gallery's new, additional location at West 24th Street and Tenth Avenue. Lou will present a series of recent bodies of work produced over the last three years, including her monumental The Clouds (2015-18), recently exhibited at the 21st Biennale of Sydney. The gallery will host an opening reception for the artist on Thursday, September 6, from 6 to 8 PM, at 501 West 24th Street.
Lehmann Maupin Announces Representation of The Estate of Heidi Bucher
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce its representation of The Heidi Bucher Estate. Heidi Bucher was a Swiss artist best known for her innovative use of latex and her exploration of the physical boundaries between the body and our surroundings. Bucher's practice can be considered an intricate process of historical preservation and metaphorical molting, which results in the poetic visualization of the complex relationship humans have with their bodies, their past, and the spaces they inhabit. Through this intensive investigation into the female body and domestic spaces, Bucher's work seamlessly integrated two contemporaneous themes artists were grappling with during the 1970s and 1980s: the architecture of public and private spaces, and issues of femininity and the body.
Cecilia Vicuña joins Lehmann Maupin
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce its representation of Cecilia Vicuña. The multidisciplinary Chilean artist's work addresses critical issues of the modern era—ecological destruction, feminism, human rights, and cultural homogenization—through her genre-bending projects uniting poetry, performance, painting, and site-specific installations that span more than 40 years. Vicuña lives and works in New York and Chile. Vicuña's inaugural exhibition with the gallery will open May 19 at 536 West 22nd Street. A joint project with the artist is planned for the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in the spring and fall of 2018.
Shasha Tittmann Joins Lehmann Maupin as Director in Hong Kong
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce that Shasha Tittmann has joined the gallery as a director in Hong Kong. Tittmann, who brings years of experience and is fluent in Mandarin and English, will manage the Hong Kong gallery starting in September, and focus on working with collectors and institutions in Asia. She has held positions at Tang Contemporary Art, Hong Kong and Beijing; and Opera Gallery, Hong Kong. Tittmann earned a Bachelor of Arts in art history from McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

2019 Spring Session Update: 1 Week Out
By Stephen S. Morrill, Principal of Morrill & Fiedler LLC (M&F), with contributions from Curt Fiedler
The House and Senate convene the final week of the scheduled 2019 spring session - with adjournment scheduled for Friday, May 31. Almost all of the Governor's legislative priorities – graduated income tax amendment, fully funded budget, capital budget, legalizing cannabis, and sports betting – remain unresolved with only five legislative days remaining (though much work can be completed in these final days). The legislative leaders and the Governor continue to meet this week to try and develop a bi-partisan agreement on many of these issues; however, the meetings have yet to produce even a framework of a deal among all four legislative leaders. The most recent "leaders meeting" to develop an agreed framework on the FY20 budget and capital (including new revenues) occurred on Sunday, May 27.
A status update of the Governor's legislative priorities remaining is as follows:
Graduated Income Tax Amendment (SJRCA 1): SJRCA 1 was approved by the Illinois Senate on May 1, and has slowly advanced to the House floor. The House debated SJRCA 1 for more than three hours (unlike the brief debate and quick passage in the Senate), and approved SJRCA 1 by a vote of 73-44-1. With the approval by the House, the question to amend the Illinois Constitution to allow for a graduated income tax will be included on the ballot for voters in 2020. Also before the House are Senate Bill (SB) 687, SB 689 and SB 690 – the companion bills that would set the graduated income tax rates (SB 687), limited property tax relief (SB 690), and eliminating the real estate transfer tax (SB 689). While SB 687 is currently pending on the House floor, the other measures to provide additional financial relief (especially property tax relief) have been stripped and their passage is uncertain.
FY20 State Budget: The Democratic legislative leaders have developed multiple versions of the FY20 budget based upon different scenarios of projected revenues. The scenarios range from a maintenance budget (as the State has received an additional $1.5 billion in revenues not previously anticipated) to the Governor's proposed FY20 budget that relies on revenues from sports betting and legalization of cannabis. According to sources, the House is likely to pass its version of the FY20 budget by Tuesday, May 28 to afford the Senate sufficient time to properly consider the FY20 budget and make any changes that may be necessary prior to the May 31 adjournment. It is possible that the General Assembly passes a FY20 spending plan that exceeds the projected revenues due to the General Assembly failing to advance some of the Governor's expected revenue increases to fund the FY20 budget (legalization of cannabis, sports betting, increased cigarette tax, vaping tax, cap on retailer sales tax discount, statewide plastic bag tax, and restructuring VGT taxes, among others). If that scenario occurs, it would leave Governor Pritzker to use his amendatory and line-item veto powers to "right size" the FY20 spending plan, or force the Governor to call the General Assembly back into session over the summer to pass additional revenues.
Capital Budget: Governor Pritzker unveiled the preliminary framework of his anticipated capital infrastructure program last week. According to the Governor's press release, it is a six-year, $41.5 billion dollar program, and includes both the funding component of the program and an initial list of projects. Regarding funding for the capital construction program, of the $41.5 billion: (a) total bonding over six years will be $17.8 billion; (b) total "pay as you go" will be $7.035 billion over six years; (c) total federal money is banked at $10.032 billion; and (d) local/private share is listed as $6.642 billion. Included in the $41.5 billion spending includes: transportation, education, state facilities, environment and conservation, broadband deployment, healthcare and human services, and economic and community development. Among the revenue and fee increases proposed to pay for this spending includes: motor fuel tax increase (19 cents per gallon for gas and diesel), vehicle registration fee increases, real estate transfer tax fee increase, per-gallon liquor tax increase, state video gaming terminal tax restructuring, and newly created taxes on ridesharing, television and streaming services, and parking garages.
Separately, the General Assembly's working group on capital construction continue their regular meetings to develop a final legislative capital projects program (mostly based on the Governor's framework). It is unclear at this time what revenue sources will be utilized to fund the capital program – as many of the Governor's proposed revenue streams are strongly opposed and there continues to be consideration for utilizing gaming expansion revenues for a portion of capital funding. Further, the working group continues to meet with legislators and the Governor's office to finalize the list of projects to be included within the full capital plan. It is unclear at this time whether the capital bill will be approved before the May 31 adjournment, or if the General Assembly will reconvene in June to pass a final capital plan.
Cannabis Legalization: Negotiations continue toward final language for adult-use cannabis legislation, and it is expected that the measure will move quickly after the final amendment is filed. SB 7 is still expected to be the legislative vehicle for this measure (though that could change) - which is currently on the order of Third Reading in the Senate and poised to be voted on at any time; however, like the FY20 budget, SB 7 would need to advance out of the Senate by Wednesday, May 29 in order to allow the House adequate time for consideration before adjournment. While some legislators remain undecided on their ultimate vote (some indicating that inclusion of home grow could make them a "no" vote), sources within the negotiations indicate the latest changes have satisfied the concerns expressed by both the Black and Latino caucuses, and that both caucuses will largely support the bill. Legalizing adult-use cannabis is largely expected to be approved prior to adjournment on May 31, and likely will have bi-partisan support.
Gaming Expansion/Sports Betting: Negotiations continue to finalize a gaming expansion and sports betting bill. According to those in the gaming negotiations, a decision has been made to include legalizing sports betting within the long-standing gaming expansion bill to allow for a City casino, five additional casinos, and slots-at-racetracks. Negotiations currently focus on: (a) updating language on the City casino to reflect request from the Lightfoot administration; (b) updating the slots-at-racetracks provision to reflect the changes necessary after two racetracks have closed in recent years; and (c) how to structure a balanced and legal sports betting framework (number of licenses, entities allowed to obtain a license, and revenue splits). Further, there remains conflict among the leaders regarding whether to utilize any of the new gaming revenues for capital project expenditures. As with the other measures, the passage of a large gaming expansion bill remains possible before the May 31 adjournment deadline.
One significant set of legislative issues that legislative leaders have determined will be deferred until the fall (or possibly the spring of 2020) are the large energy policy bills offered earlier in the spring:
SB 2080/HB 3152 (ComEd's extension of its formula rates)
SB 660/HB 2861 (Exelon's statewide capacity auction)
SB 1781/HB 2666 (Pathway to 100 proposal to increase renewable energy standards to 40% by 2050)
SB 2132/HB 3624 (Clean Energy Jobs Coalition proposal to procure "carbon free" energy by 2030 and 100% renewable by 2050)
HB 2173 (Vistra's "coal-to-solar" initiative)
SB 135/HB 125 (NRG's proposal for a "clean energy attributes" state procurement)
It is expected that stakeholder meetings will be convened over the summer and fall months to further study and negotiate these issues with the goal of possibly having an agreed framework to modify Illinois' energy policy by 2020. It has not yet been determined when these stakeholder meetings will begin.

We used butterflies as a jumping off point for looking at lines of symmetry.
We began by using this butterfly matching game to reinforce the concept that butterflies wings are symmetrical.
This was easy to make- I found a bunch of pictures online of butterflies, printed them, and cut them in half. I glued one half of the butterfly onto a piece of bristle board (I also included the name of the butterfly), and the other piece I laminated (along with the bristle board once all the butterfly halves were glued on). Then I stuck on Velcro circles for easy matching.
I put a piece of masking tape on the table and a bin of tangrams out. I was really impressed with all the designs that they came up with.
Here is a last one for you, this one involves using a light table, but could be used on any surface also.
We laid out two different kinds of gems and some sticks. The students were excited to use these materials in a different way, and used them to create some symmetrical images.
There you have it, 4 ideas on how to practice symmetry in kindergarten using materials that you probably already have!

Buffalo Bills' stadium renamed New Era Field
Josh Sanchez | Aug 18, 2016 9:19 am
It's a sad day for Buffalo Bills fans. Earlier this week, the Ralph Wilson Stadium sign was removed from in front of the team's home. On Thursday, it was announced that the franchise sold naming rights to the stadium to New Era Caps, changing the name of the stadium to New Era Field.
Reports indicate the naming rights may have cost as much as $40 million.
The deal was first reported earlier in the week, but the team officially confirmed the news and released logos for the new field.

"We feel this agreement showcases two of the more recognized local brands not only for the benefit of our two franchises, but one that reflects well on our entire community," Terry Pegula told The Associated Press in a statement.
While some Bills fans may be unhappy that Ralph Wilson's name was removed, Wilson's widow, Mary Wilson, was in support of the name change.
"I love Buffalo, and with all of the resurgence that it's enjoying right now, it's fitting that the new naming rights agreement is with New Era," Wilson said. "Naturally, there's an element of sadness for me personally, that I hope fans would understand. But I'm excited for the Bills' organization and for New Era with their successes. It's so great that a local company of this magnitude will be on this stadium."

Morgan Stanley's fixed income layoffs have come early. The US investment bank was supposed to be starting its clear-out of 25% of its fixed income sales and trading business next week. Instead, it started yesterday.
London-based headhunters say most of the redundancies so far are at managing director (MD) level and above. Exits are said to include Isabel Mahony, co-head of investment grade trading, Kay Haigh, global head of emerging markets, Oliver Jerome, a managing director and head of emerging markets FX in Europe, Adam Clary, head of European credit sales to real money investors, Thomas Moore, head of desk research for investment-grade and high-yield credit, and Kevin Edwards, an investment grade corporates trader.
Morgan Stanley isn't commenting on the layoffs. Neither Mahony nor Edwards were at their desks when we called and Bloomberg reported the departures of Haigh and Jerome earlier this morning.
Strangely, some of those who are now said to be surplus to requirement had only recently been hired or made MDs. Morgan Stanley recruited Haigh from hedge fund Avantium Investment Management in February, Clary was promoted to MD in January 2015 and Mahony was promoted to managing director in January 2014. Moore had worked for Morgan Stanley since 2004 and was promoted to MD in 2012.

As part of an ambitious Ministry of Tourism (Mintur) development plan through 2030, this year some 3,805 hotel rooms should be completed across the country and another 5,000 will be renovated and improved.
Currently, according to José R. Daniel Alonso, Mintur's general director of development, investment by Cuban state enterprises and international companies are both being promoted to expand lodging capacity.
"We are doing so in important tourist poles like Varadero, where there is investment by the Almest furniture enterprise and Mintur's real estate company, Inmotur. In this case, we can mention the Oasis and Varadero Internacional hotels. Meanwhile, in this destination, other investment projects are in the preparation stage," Daniel Alonso reported.
New facilities are being built in the center of the country. Two new joint enterprises and two more hotels on the Ancón Peninsula near Trinidad, Sancti Spíritus: the Hotel Meliá Ancón and the Iberostar Ancón. The later is affiliated with the joint enterprise Iberostar Trinidad, which is also projecting investment to renovate and expand its hotel of that same name.
With the goal of creating a more diverse range of tourist options across the island and taking advantage of our natural potential, Cuban investments are also being made for new hotels on the Ramón Peninsula and in Guardalavaca, Holguín. Likewise, the development of a tourist pole on Camagüey's Cayo Cruz is planned by the Ministry, to contribute to reaching the capacity projected for 2030.
"We are re-evaluating our strategies, because urban, patrimonial, and cultural products are increasingly in demand, and we must balance this with the product for which we are recognized worldwide, that is that of sun and sand.
"This balance must function so people can enjoy the sun and the beach, as well as our culture, and all that colonial towns offer, including Havana, which will soon reach its 500th anniversary, and which is very attractive around the world," Daniel Alonso commented.
Achieving quality service for those who visit Cuba also requires complementary spaces. The development of extra-hotel activity is an imperative to provide cities with a variety of options.
"This is an area in which we are working hard and think that the preparation completed this year will serve to begin a real launch linked to theme and water parks, marinas, cabarets, and other spaces, which give those who visit us recreational options, making use of other tourist products that are not only the hotels," added the Mintur director of development.
Another issue that must be addressed is connectivity. The Ministry of Tourism, along with the Ministry of Communications, is carrying out a national development plan to achieve one hundred percent WiFi coverage in all tourist facilities.
"This year we are going to make an important investment that exceeds 11 million dollars for this program. At this time, the technology is being purchased, which will begin to be installed and make possible that in hotels, even in beach areas, 100% of all areas will have WiFi coverage. We are also working to ensure that tourist buses have WiFi in Varadero, the keys, and Havana, so visitors are able, for example, to tour the city and broadcast their experiences live. All this will be concretized in 2019," said Daniel Alonso.
In addition to these objectives, the development of a real estate program is foreseen, with the constitution of several joint ventures, some of which will begin construction in the first quarter of next year.

"We are talking about Bello Monte, east of the capital; Punta Colorada, in Pinar del Río; El Salado in the Mariel Special Development Zone; and Carbonera, in Matanzas, and recently a new joint venture was approved for this modality in the area known as La Altura, in Pinar del Río. These are part of an important investment program for tourism development and will be joint ventures, large projects of around 600 million dollars that will include buildings linked to tourism, golf courses, hotels, shops, marinas and other attractions," the Mintur development director said.
The development of foreign investment is an important factor for the country's economy and especially for tourism. Two projects are currently under development and another eight are being negotiated for the creation of joint ventures to build new hotels or expand existing ones.
Havana and its hotels play an important role in foreign investment. Emblematic facilities such as the Meliá Habana, the Riviera, the Cohíba, Neptuno-Tritón and others, have foreseen investments with international partners to improve their facades and comfort level.
"In the case of the Habana Libre and the Riviera, both have agreed to financing plans with the operators that manage and market these hotels. In the case of the Riviera, the partner is Iberostar and the Habana Libre with Meliá. Both investments exceed 20 million dollars, which will serve to fully restore the facilities at these hotels.
"The Packard Hotel was completed in Havana, and the Prado & Malecón, the Paseo del Prado Regis, are expected to be ready very soon, while two others have already begun construction at First & D Street, and Third & 70th. There are also the Cuban investments by Almest and the Ministry of Tourism that will add a number of new rooms in Havana. According to our plan, there will be 5,000 new rooms and 6,000 remodeled by 2030," said Daniel Alonso.
Extra-hotel investment is also being considered in Havana, including the renovation of the 1830 entertainment complex, the Artisans Palace, and the Habana Club in the locale currently known as the José Antonio Echeverría Center. The former discotheque at the Hotel Comodorois is being renovated as a night club offering dinner, a dance floor, and performances by musical groups.
"Also among projects to improve the tourist product in the city is the façade plan, including the Hotel Plaza, with a very deteriorated image, the Inglaterra, and other exteriors. The Hotel Lincoln will also receive room repairs; the shopping malls at Meliá Cohíba will be renovated; and other works, in all cases the technological issue will be improved and the exteriors of these sites beautified," he added.
Along with the anniversary of the city and investment projects throughout the country, scheduled in May is the FitCuba International Tourism Fair 2019, which on this occasion will be dedicated to Havana's 500th anniversary and Spain, as the guest country of honor.This new edition of the fair, based in the Morro-Cabaña historical complex, is set to include an extensive program focused on event and incentive tourism. Cuba has experience in this modality, with important convention centers throughout the country and, above all, is a destination where visitors can combine events of any kind with enjoyment of cities."It's been two years since the fair has been held in Havana and we are sure that it will be a magnificent opportunity to promote the city on its 500th anniversary. This city, despite its 500 years, is still an important site. Given the interest we see in tour operators, travel agencies, and foreign companies operating in Cuba, we think this will be a great fair. As is the case every year, we will be promoting all the foreign investment opportunities in tourism projects that we have in our portfolio," said Daniel Alonso.FitCuba 2019 is dedicated to Havana, but will also promote Cuba as a destination. New products will be presented and businesses agreements established, making this gathering an ideal opportunity to expand Cuban tourism and, at the same time, promote foreign investment in the sector, and our own, to enhance the country as destination.

Галлвар Офуус Деволл (; 8 листопада 1898 — 10 вересня 1957) — норвезький трапер, метеоролог, мандрівник. У 1931 році він окупував територію на сході Гренландії, де згодом була заснована колонія Земля Еріка Рудого.

Біографія
У 1920 році закінчив Університет в Осло. У 1920—1922 роках працював помічником метеоролога в обсерваторії Гальдде в Альті. Влітку 1922 року він уперше здійснив подорож до Арктики як технік із видобутку вугілля на Шпіцбергені .

Наступної зими відвідував курси радіотелеграфії, а навесні 1923 року директор Геофізичного інституту найняв його помічником метеоролога і радіотелеграфіста на  (, ), приблизно за 1 милю на захід від Кінґз-Бей (Kings Bay), разом з його братом Фіном Деволлом і Сверре Стремом. Галвард залишався на Квадгюкені до жовтня 1924 року, коли станцію закрили з фінансових причин.

У 1925–26 роках Галвар Деволл був керівником норвезької метеорологічної станції на Ян-Маєні. У той час острів вважали нічийною землею, але його анексували за дорученням Норвезького метеорологічного інституту та розмістили навколо острова деякі знаки. На знаках було написано: «Власність Норвезького метеорологічного інституту». Це заклало основу для надання Норвегії права на острів Ян-Маєн у 1928 році. Острів перейшов під суверенітет Норвегії королівським указом від 8 травня 1929 року і став частиною королівства 27 лютого 1930 року .

Східна Гренландія
Деволл допоміг здійснити план окупації Східної Гренландії, який розробили геолог Адольф Гоель і юрист Густав Смедал. Він очолював експедицію, яка 27 червня 1931 року підняла норвезький прапор у Міггбукті та анексувала частину східної Гренландії під назвою Земля Еріка Рудого . Після встановлення прапора Деволл надіслав таку телеграму, щоб оголосити окупацію:

«У присутності Ейліва Гердала, Тура Галле, Інгвалла Стрема та Серена Ріхтера сьогодні в затоці Мігг піднято норвезький прапор, а земля між Карлсберг-фіордом на півдні та Бессельфіордом на півночі була захоплена в ім'я Його Величності короля Гокона. Ми назвали цю країну Землею Еріка Рудого ».

Телеграму відправили в Афтенпостен, Дагбладет і Тіденс Тегн того ж дня. Через два дні було повідомлено уряд. План Гоеля і Смедала був успішним, і уряд був змушений підтримати приватну окупацію. Данія опротестувала і подала справу до Міжнародного суду в Гаазі, де Норвегія програла справу за всіма пунктами навесні 1933 року. Губернатором завойованої території був Гельге Інгстад, і до прибуття Інгстада Деволл доглядав за окупованими землями .

Антарктида
Галвар Деволл брав участь разом із відомим лижником Олавом К'єлботном під час експедиції капітана Яльмара Рісера-Ларсена до Антарктиди в 1933 році. Одразу після вивантаження багажу експедиції на крижину лід скрес і учасники експедиції з чотирма собаками опинилися на дрейфуючій кризі. Після відправки сигналу SOS їх врятували через кілька днів .

Під час Другої світової війни Деволл пішов добровольцем на військову службу навесні 1940 року і брав участь як солдат союзників в Іноземному легіоні під час битви за Нарвік. З 1951 по 1957 роки відповідав за коптильню оселедців у Гофарнесі на північ від Копервіка.

Є автором книги «Polarliv» (Полярне життя), опублікованої в 1940 році.

Похований на цвинтарі церкви Копервік на острові Кармой у Ругаланді.

Repeat appearances by Kenya's Sauti Sol and Nigeria's Chidinma – Talent deficit or failure to diversify?
By Kylie Kiunguyu on July 7, 2017 — Multi-award winning group from Kenya, Sauti Sol, best known for their hits "Kuliko Jana", "Sura Yako" and "Unconditionally Bae" return to Coke Studio Africa – 2017, for the third time this year paired alongside Nigerian songstress Chidinma who is making a return to the show for the fourth time. We ask, is it not time to explore the continental music scene in totality and use the platform to launch talented underground artists into the commercial sphere?
Multi-award winning group from Kenya, Sauti Sol, best known for their hits "Kuliko Jana", "Sura Yako" and "Unconditionally Bae" return to Coke Studio Africa – 2017, for the third time this year paired alongside Nigerian songstress Chidinma who is making a return to the show for the fourth time. The pairing will be produced by top Nigerian music producer Masterkraft.
The repeat appearances of the group, and singer may point to a deeper issue. Coke Studio Africa is a non-competitive music show that brings together diverse African music talent for world-class showcases, while giving upcoming artistes the opportunity to work with some of the best local, and international music and production talent. Sauti Sol and Chidinma although they are among some of the best continental talent, and being more seasoned in the music business cannot be all that the continent has to offer. Especially in that the two have been paired together as opposed to being paired with the various upcoming artists on the show. The pairing may be good for driving up ratings as they are already fan favourites, but goes against what the show is ideally for i.e. bringing together artistes from different genres, eras and regions to create a modern and authentic African sound through music fusion. What was the purpose of Coke Studio merging Coke Studio Africa and Coke Studio South Africa into one bigger and better Coke Studio Africa 2017 only for the pairings to remain predictable?
Sonically other pairings would likely yield better music. For example Chidinma could make soulful artistry with newcomer Shekinah known for her unique Rhythm and blues style. Alternately, with the more upbeat direction Sauti Sol's music has taken lately, Busiswa, another South African would add her quirky flavour as showcased in her latest collaboration "Gobisiqolo" for quite a musical experience. It stands that more dynamic artist pairings could rectify the lack of diversity on the show.
As for the upcoming artists that are asked to join the show, it is evident they are selected for their commercial value. We are yet to see underground artists revealed on the show in that most newcomers already have some semblance of a presence and following in their home countries. Instead of recycling the same acts it may be useful to explore the continental music scene in totality. The show could be a platform to launch talented underground artists into the commercial sphere instead of launching locally famous artists to continental fame.
Last year, Sauti Sol was paired with Congolese Star Fally Ipupa while Chidinma performed with Kenyan group Elani. This year's show promises to be a 'melting pot' of music talents bringing together renowned music producers and top-notch artists drawn from various parts of the continent. The merger increases the number of participating countries to 16, up from 11 in previous edition. Artists this year include: Rayvanny, Izzo Bizness and Nandy, Ugandan artists Bebe Cool, Eddy Kenzo, Ykee Benda and Sheebah, Khaligraph Jones and Band Becca from Kenya, Sami Dan from Ethiopia, Nasty C, Busiswa, Mashayabhuqe from South Africa, Youssoupha from Democratic Republic of Congo, Runtown and Yemi from Nigeria.
Adding to the list are Dji Tafinha from Angola, Laura Beg from Mauritius, Jah Prayzah from Zimbabwe and Slapdee from Central Africa Republic, Bisa Kdei and Worlasi from Ghana, Betty G from Ethiopia, Bruce Melodie, Shellsy Baronet & Mr. Bow from Mozambique, Denise from Madagascar and Ozane from Togo, Freeda from Namibia.


Every year, the NIU Alumni Association recognizes 10 alumni for their professional accomplishments. The 2017 alumni award recipients recognized at the Thursday, May 4, banquet included Mary P. Haynes, who earned her B.S. in Family Child Studies in 2012 and her M.S.Ed.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the new politics, says George Osborne
Former chancellor says his 90s style of politics now belongs to the 'dinosaur age'

George Osborne has expressed his admiration for leftwing Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying that politicians who fail to copy her online campaigning tactics now belong to a "dinosaur age".
The former Conservative chancellor, who is now editor of the London Evening Standard, called the first-term congresswoman "one of the most famous politicians in the world" and said she was part of a movement which had destroyed the old political order with her understanding of social media.
"I became pretty good at the form of politics that emerged in the 1990s in response to 24-hour news channels. The scripted soundbite. The good backdrop. The ruthless message discipline. It helped me and the team I was part of win two general elections," he said.
"But by 2017, when I left parliament, it was a style of politics that looked like it belonged to the dinosaur age. There are still plenty of politicians wandering around practising it, but they are facing extinction."
Osborne also said that the Conservative party with a "dwindling elderly membership based on a model of constituency associations from the Victorian age" could be facing destruction as a result of a failure to understand how the world had changed.
Osborne, who shocked Westminster when he quit politics to become editor of the London newspaper two years ago, also said he always wanted to be the European commissioner for competition. Osborne said the job was attractive because it came with the power to stand up to the likes of Facebook – a role which would have pitted him against Nick Clegg, his former coalition colleague who is now the social network's lobbying chief.

He suggested that the government should give people ownership of their own internet data in order to undermine the market dominance of sites such as Facebook which profit from holding details about their users.
"If the consumers owned their data, rather than one or two big producers, then we could all compete for their custom, and their data would follow," he said, echoing proposals made last summer by the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, about removing control of user data from Facebook.
Osborne made the comments on Thursday night in a lecture to the London Press Club given in memory of the former Mirror editor Hugh Cudlipp. He also said that the future of British newspapers was under threat.
Osborne, who has come under criticism for holding multiple jobs while editing a newspaper that is covering the fallout of his own decision to impose austerity measures on the country, insisted that concerns about fake news were pushing people back to traditional outlets.
He also said newspapers were less influential in elections than people believed and that aggressive interviews with politicians were often pointless – perhaps remembering an uncomfortable appearance on Newsnight last year when he was asked about Brexit and welfare cuts. He also said the press baron Rupert Murdoch once agreed that his newspapers were too anti-immigration.
"It was great sport to watch when this aggressive approach first appeared in the 1960s with the likes of Robin Day on TV, but half a century later I wonder what good it's done other than chase both politics and journalism down to the bottom of the league table of professions the public trusts.
"I did many of those interviews and few I felt provided much illumination for the audience. You don't have to treat democratic politicians as criminals to be a journalist of integrity. But nor should you regard them as messiahs."
He also suggested that the BBC should turn itself into a Netflix-style subscription service. As chancellor, Osborne helped drive the tough 2015 licence fee deal with the BBC, ending the state subsidy for free licences for over-75s and loading the cost on to the broadcaster – creating a financial headache for the BBC.

This is not the first time I have created a Weebly site, and I am happy to have another wonderful resource to use as I begin my teaching career. This is a great place to have all my Early Childhood Education teaching resources in one place. I am quite happy with how many resources I found for all subject matters and some of things I am really excited to implement in my classroom.
I've learned that there is an endless supply of resources on the web and that it is easy to get overwhelmed with going through them all and choosing the most appropriate resources to use. I've learned throughout my journey so far that it is important to share resources with fellow teachers and to not get possessive about the things that you find that are good tools! Teaching really is a collaborative, team effort that is easier for everyone when we share good finds!
I chose to inclue my "Teaching" subpage from when I first constructed this website at the beginning of PS1 as I think there are some valuable elements within it. Although my teaching philosophies have changed, and now include a separate physical education teaching philosophy, I think it is important to have these philosophies readily accessible to remind ourselves why we are in the teaching profession!
Thank you for visiting my site - I hope you enjoyed looking through it as much as I enjoyed constructing it!

Polaris Music Prize 2011 Nominees
Each year musicians wait anxiously to hear who has made the list of nominees for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize. Based on the Mercury Music Prize that is handed out in the United Kingdom, it is a prize that is awarded to the best Canadian music album released. To determine the winner, judges look at the artistic merit of the album and do not take the record label, sales figures of the album or genre into consideration. Over and above being awarded the honor of receiving the prize, there is a cash prize that accompanies it. The star studded awards ceremony is broadcast live, and recently the long list of forty nominees has been released.
The list of nominees, named in alphabetical order, is as follows: Arcade Fire (Suburbs), Austra (Feel It Break), Black Mountain (Wilderness Heart), Braids (Native Speaker), Buck 65 (20 Odd Years), Louise Burns (Mellow Drama), D-Sisive (Jonestown 2: Jimmy Go Bye Bye), The Dears (Degeneration Street), Destroyer (Kaputt), Diamond Rings (Special Affections), Dirty Beaches (Badlands), Luke Doucet and The White Falcon (Steel City Trawler), Eternia & MoSS (At Last), Galaxie (Tigre Et Diesel), Jenn Grant (Honeymoon Punch), Tim Hecker (Ravedeath 1972), Hey Rosetta! (Album), Imaginary Cities (Temporary Resident), Land Of Talk (Cloak and Cipher), Little Scream (The Golden Record), The Luyas (Too Beautiful to Work), Malajube (La Caverne), Miracle Fortress (Was I The Wave?), One Hundred Dollars (Songs Of Man), Dough Paisley (Constant Companion), PS I Love You (Meet Me At The Muster Station), Daniel Romano (Sleep Beneath the Willow), The Rural Alberta Advantage (Departing), Ron Sexsmith (Long Player Later Bloomer), Shotgun Jimmy (Transistor Sister), Sloan (The Double Cross), Frederick Squire (March 12), Stars (The Five Ghosts), Colin Stetson (New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges), Timbre Timbre (Creep On Creepin' On), The Weekend (House Of Balloons), Women (Public Strain), Neil Young (Le Noise) and Young Galaxy (Shapeshifting).
The list is filled with wonderful albums that will be narrowed down to a short list, and the short list will be released on 6 July 2011. The winner, however, will only be announced on 19 September 2011. A most deserving group of artists find themselves on the preliminary list, such as Arcade Fire who won an Album of the Year award at the famous Grammy Awards, as well as the album released by Neil Young, which was produced by Daniel Lanois, that has been causing quite a stir in the music industry. Winning the Polaris Music Prize is a great achievement and music fans will have to wait patiently to find out if their favorite artist has won.

Q: Do you need to use the $ch variable with cURL? Before going any further, I apologize for my ignorance on the subject, I am a newbie.
When using the cURL function, is it required to use the $ch, $output, $f, $url, etc variables or can you name the variables whatever you like (while still defining them the same way)?
My first instinct was I can name them whatever, but all the examples for cURL I see use the standard variable names. Thanks for your answers in advance!

A: You can always name variables any way you like (restricted by what are valid variable names in the particular language that you use).
Standard variable names are used, so that the reader can guess from the name as to what the inteded use of the variable is.
When you write a function, it looks like this:
function printSum($firstArg, $arg2) {
  print $firstArg + $arg2;
}

It does not matter, how the variables are named, that you pass to the function. You might even consider, not passing variables at all, but literals:
printSum(5, 3);

Inside the function, the parameter list ($firstArg, $arg2) determines, how the values that where passed to the function are accessed by the function. A function should not know about what goes on outside the function (e.g. how variables are named, etc.).

The healthcare challenges presented by Ireland's ageing population are particularly significant at present, as is the case in much of the developed world.
The sector represented by the NHI has roughly 24,500 beds across almost 450 nursing homes, Daly says, with the vast majority being run by small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). The organisation's mission is to work in partnership with members, the government and the regulator to ensure all residents of nursing homes are receiving high-quality person-centred care in their local community.
"The ESRI [Economic and Social Research Institute] and the government have recently undertaken a capacity review and both are suggesting that there will be a significant increase in demand for beds by 2030," says Daly. An ESRI report published in November found that as many as 6,300 extra beds will be required in public and private hospitals and care providers by the end of the next decade. That said, we need to ensure the sustainability of the current provision in the first instance.
Funding – a fair deal?
Pictured: Tadhg Daly, Chief Executive of Nursing Homes Ireland.
The NHI has been particularly vocal in recent years about the need for the government to reform the Fair Deal funding system for care in later life. Daly explains: "There are two main issues with Fair Deal: we do need an increased budget due to the demographic pressures, but the government also needs to take into account the cost pressures that home operators are facing.
"At the moment, we have a very inequitable scheme: the Health Service Executive is the provider of 5,000 beds, but it doesn't negotiate with any other entities – it sets its fees itself and takes one third of the total budget. On average, the HSE pays themselves up to 60% more than they expect the private sector to survive on.
Recommended reading: What Next for Irish Healthcare Providers?
As is the case elsewhere, recruitment of trained healthcare assistants (HCAs) is another significant challenge for employers across Ireland's health sector, and not just in nursing homes. "While the debate around healthcare provision is often fixated on the number of beds or hospitals or nursing homes, it's important to bear in mind that even if we had all those things, we still vitally need engaged, committed, qualified and supportive staff," says Daly.
On the regulatory front, Daly says that the sector is highly regulated – "as it should be" – and also that the standard of care has improved greatly in the past few years, and this has been acknowledged by HIQA, the independent regulator.

The Rise of Parler
1 month ago cuatower

By: Franchetta Groves
Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become a battleground for political discourse in recent years. The access to the worldwide web at our fingertips means that it has never been easier for each person to share their opinions. This is especially true during an election cycle as was seen this past year in the presidential election.
However, a new social media site, called Parler, has been gaining popularity. The social media blogging site was founded in 2018 and markets itself as a bastion for freedom of speech. Parler's platform says that they will not fact check or engage in content moderation outside of spam and criminal activity. This has led to an increase in conservative support, especially after Joe Biden was announced the winner of the 2020 election, and many conservative commentators expressed disappointment in sites such as Twitter and Facebook censoring or fact-checking their content.
Twitter and Facebook have been fact-checking claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. Conservative commentators, however, have felt that this fact-checking is being done with a bias and an agenda. These sentiments have led to conservative commentators expressing support and joining Parler.
Right-wing commentator Laura Loomer encouraged her followers on Parler to join the site saying, "Twitter has aided the Democrat Party in stealing this election, and now everything Trump says is being silenced. Tell everyone you know to get on Parler."
Loomer had previously been suspended from Twitter and Facebook for violating their rules after she tweeted that Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, was "anti-Jewish" and "pro-Sharia." Other commentators such as Mark Levin and Senator Ted Cruz have voiced support for the app and encouraged others to join.
The app was created in 2018 by University of Denver graduates Matze and Jared Thomson. According to the Parler website, they created the app because they were, "exhausted with a lack of transparency in big tech, ideological suppression, and privacy abuse." The set up is very similar to that of Twitter's in that you can follow accounts and users can post their thoughts in up to 1,000 characters.
It has attracted a large conservative following, most likely due to the complaints of those on the right that big tech and social media companies have suppressed their speech. Twitter and Facebook have denied that they have censored conservative content and that they have been merely trying to prevent false information from spreading, especially information surrounding the 2020 election. This has been done by labeling posts which they believe have false information and slowing how quickly a post can be shared. Many conservatives believe that Parler has allowed them to have a platform where they can freely share their thoughts and opinions.
"I think Parler is an amazing platform," commented sophomore Kayla Maloney, "It's obviously not as big as Twitter or Instagram, but a lot of big conservative thinkers have gained a massive following on it because so many people wanted to hear what they have to say in a place that they aren't censored for what they believe in!"
Others have criticized the app for only catering towards right-wing rhetoric and not having intellectual diversity. Another concern has been that the app allows hate speech because the site's terms of use do not prohibit it. As freelance author Bryan C. Parker commented, "Even users not wholly comfortable with some of the app's extreme rhetoric may let it slide because they aren't bothered enough to flag it."
Parler is an example of how the rhetoric in our country has and will continue to be polarizing and partisan. Algorithms across social media platforms already tend to keep people in echo chambers and isolated from hearing other viewpoints. Parler can give a voice to those who have felt censored by other social media outlets, but if it does not gain followers from other ideologies, it could be a contributing factor to the partisanship and polarizing conversations taking place online and in person.

UIA Flight 752 is the fifth airliner shot down since 1983
Montreal, Canada - UIA Flight 752 became the fifth airliner that has been shot down since 1983. In the past, several incidents occurred by mistaking an airliner for a warplane during high military tensions between countries.
On Jan. 9, the UIA Boeing 737 crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran, killing all 176 people on board. Iranian officials pointed out a mechanical problem as the cause of the accident at the very beginning.
The incident happened just hours after Iran targeted US military bases in Iraq with ballistic missiles. It raised doubts that the Ukrainian Boeing 737 might have been shot down by Iranian forces accidentally.
Two days ago, Iran admitted that the Boeing 737 jetliner from Ukrainian International Airlines was mistakenly hit by an anti-aircraft missile fired by Iran Revolution Guards.
Passenger planes that have been shot down since 1983
Korean Air Lines Flight 007: On Sept. 1st, 1983, Soviet forces downed a Boeing 747 from Korean Airlines after the plane diverted from its planned route and entered Soviet airspace due to a navigational error. All 269 passengers and crew on board were killed.
The incident heightened tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, which was already tense because of the Cold War.
Iran Air Flight 655: On July 3rd, 1988, the USS Vincennes, a US Navy vessel, targeted an Iran Air Airbus A300 with a guided-missile over the Persian Gulf. All 290 people aboard were killed. The U.S. military said the aircraft was mistaken for a jet fighter.
Siberia Airlines Flight 1812: On Oct. 4, 2001, a Siberia Airlines Tupolev Tu-154M aircraft was fired by Ukrainian forces during military exercise over the Black Sea as it was en route from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk, Russia. All 78 people aboard were killed.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17: On July 17, 2014, A Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777-200ER was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was downed in Eastern Ukraine by Russia-backed rebels. All 298 people on board were killed. This is the only case in which perpetrators were charged with murder.
And Finally UIA Flight 752
It is believed there have been many other unconfirmed incidents based on the statements of eyewitnesses.

In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev became the first Soviet premier to visit the United States. Both Khrushchev and President Dwight Eisenhower hoped the visit would ease Cold War tensions between their two nations.
In 1959, the United States Information Service filmed Nikita Khrushchev's twelve-day tour around the United States.
When Nikita Khrushchev arrived in America, celebrations ran high. So did tensions.
Sergei Khrushchev was 22 when he accompanied his father on an unprecedented American tour. Sergei reflects on the whirlwind, cross-country trip and his impressions of America.
