In this way, you will identify which business ideas will succeed.
Not all business ideas work because there are some that would not work in a particular business. Evaluating a business idea would take time yet it would save time, money and trouble in your business. Keep in mind that careful thought and research can steer clear ideas so that you can avoid wasting effort and dollars of losses. Likewise, you can also determine the things you need to consider when developing business concept. In this way, you can ensure that all your efforts will bring up output that gives solid chance of success. Nevertheless, evaluating business ideas need not be expensive as long as you follow the necessary steps.
The first thing that you should do is to ask help from your friends to help you in evaluating the concept. If you have friends entrepreneurs you can ask them some words about your idea. In this situation, they would bring up some problems that they are thinking you might encounter. This way, you can have the chance to determine if you are able to deal with the obstacles. You should also evaluate how much your potential clients would afford to pay your product and services. This is the best way to determine the strength of your target market. Thus, you can start estimating your potential revenues. Likewise, you should also decide if you will enjoy the work and ensure success of the business.
Another step when evaluating is to get down to details through feasibility study. Through the feasibility study, the initial research would turn up into positive results. On the other hand, the feasibility study should answer some issues that should be given in-depth consideration. You should determine the unique features of the product or service that you will offer. It is easier to get into the saturated market if you are confident to offer unique product and services. Likewise, you should also consider the design and how it will be manufactured and delivered to prospect customers. The study should address the management team, the market, the competition as well as the cost. Identifying the market is very important because having quality product and services is useless if there is no market to buy it.
Moreover, when evaluating the business idea you should not forget the financial situation. Keep in mind that it will take two or more years before you can enjoy the returns in your business. In this sense, you should ensure that you have sufficient money to support your business while it is just starting making a profit.

Q: Keeping considerable amount of complex objects in memory I want to have around 20,000 complex objects sitting in memory at all times (app will run in indefinite loop). I am considering using either List<MyObject> and then converting the list to Dictionary<int, MyObject> or just avoiding List alltogether and keeping the objects in dictionary. I was wondering, is it pricey to convert list to dictionary each time i need to look up an object? What would be better? Have them stored as Dictionary at all times? Or have List and using lambdas to get the needed object? Or should i look at other options?
Please note, I don't need queue or stack behavior when object retrieval causes dequeuing.
Thanks in advance.

A: Using a lambda lookup against the list is O(N), which for 20,000 items is not inconsiderable. However, if you know you'll always need to fetch the object by a known key, you can use a dictionary which is O(1) - that's as fast as algorithms go. So if there's some way you can structure your data/application so that you can base retrieval around some sort of predictable, repeatable, unique key, that will maximize performance. The worst thing (from a performance standpoint) is some complex lookup routine against a list, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

A: Regardless of what you're doing, if you need to access the List, then you are going to need to loop through it to find whatever you want.
If you need to access the Dictionary, then you have the option to use the key value to immediately retrieve what you are looking for, or, if you must, you can still loop through the Dictionary's Values.
Just use the Dictionary.

5G Does Not Cause COVID-19
WIA President and CEO Jonathan Adelstein: "There is zero scientific evidence behind the conspiracy theory that there is any link whatsoever between COVID-19 and 5G."
"There is zero scientific evidence behind the conspiracy theory that there is any link whatsoever between COVID-19 and 5G. It is the height of irresponsibility to even suggest that such a misleading link exists. The public needs to rely on scientific evidence rather than on unfounded fearmongering. Leading global health authorities have found no health risks that wireless facilities meeting regulatory guidelines pose to the public. In fact, it's quite the opposite. There are enormous well-documented public health and safety benefits of wireless, which saves lives and protects people in emergencies every day through calls to 911, telemedicine, and so many other ways. 5G will greatly enhance these life-saving benefits, such as converting an ambulance into a rolling 3-D emergency room, equipping firefighters with virtual precision blueprints to enter burning buildings, and developing new applications of the future which we can't even imagine today. Consider how many people today are calling their doctors through voice and video calls to determine if they need to go to the hospital. During this global health emergency, it is more important than ever to build next-generation wireless networks so that more remote healthcare can be available as soon as possible for those in need."
Dr. Anthony Fauci has called stories linking 5G to coronavirus "garbage."
FEMA: "5G technology does NOT cause coronavirus."
CNN: "There is no evidence linking 5G technology and the spread of coronavirus."

I never tire of watching High Noon. Unlike most films from the 1950's, it seems to me clean, sleek. The tensions are perfectly paced, the music (and the classic song Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darlin') lope along until they too escalate with the action. The intricate relationships of the characters play across the screen with understated grace and intensity.
While High Noon was in production, no one associated with it would have dreamed that it would be nominated for seven Oscars, that it would win four, that it would rank as one of the best westerns of all time. The studio originally treated it as a throwaway, a black-and-white oater. Not until it was completed, and all the pieces in place, direction, dialogue, acting, cinematography, music, editing, and other myriad elements (film is a collective enterprise) did its greatness slowly dawn on its creators and the studio. That achievement still shimmers on the screen nearly seventy years later.
The film was made in 1950, released, 1951 at the height of the blacklist era, and the story echoes its moment. The starring role, Sheriff Will Kane was originally offered to John Wayne who, as a noisy supporter of the blacklist, and a founder of the Motion Picture Alliance for American Ideals, immediately saw the parallels implicit in the story, and declined. (Ironically Wayne accepted Gary Cooper's Oscar for Best Actor on his behalf; Cooper was filming in Europe.)
High Noon has the distinction of a movie told in real time. The clock on the wall of Sheriff Kane's office says 11:00. Sheriff Kane is getting married in church. Frank Miller's gang awaits the noon train at the station. News that the train is bringing the vicious, vengeful Frank Miller, just released from prison, terrifies Hadleyville. (The name is significant; remember Mark Twain's novella, The Man that Corrupted Hadleyville.) Ninety minutes later, the film ends.
In the beginning the townspeople vow to stand with the sheriff to fight Frank Miller. One by one they slink away, sheep-like, blubbering support, but scurrying afar. They leave Will Kane isolated and alone, facing Frank Miller and his whole brutal gang who are determined to see him dead. The story finally coalesces around four central characters: the madam, sultry Mexican actress, Katy Jurado, the wife, Grace Kelly, the weasely deputy, Lloyd Bridges, the sheriff, Gary Cooper. The Miller gang are mostly undifferentiated except for Lee Van Cleef (his first role) who manages to terrify without a single line of dialogue.
Glen Frankel's fine book, High Noon: the Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic (Bloomsbury, 2017) explores the entire blacklist era through the prism of this one fine film. Not only was the film a parable of the blacklist, it was itself a casualty. In the midst of filming the writer Carl Foreman was called before HUAC. He declined to name any of his previous comrades in the Communist Party. Officially declared an uncooperative witness, and blacklisted, Foreman had a tremendous falling out with the film's producer Stanley Kramer. The intricacies of their fight are still not altogether clear, but the two men, once good friends and long- time business partners never spoke again.
Before the film was finished, Carl Foreman had to flee the US for England where he lived and worked for many years. Indeed, one of the films he worked on there was David Lean's 1957 Bridge on the River Kwai which won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay. The Oscar went to Pierre Boulle, author of the novel, who did not even speak English. Foreman's name was nowhere in the credits. Not until 1984 was his credit restored, as well as the credit of another blacklisted writer, Michael Wilson. Wilson was already dead and Foreman died the following day. Carl Foreman's story of exile, broken friendships, broken contracts, a busted marriage, belated recognition seems to me emblematic of the ravages the blacklist wrought on talented men and women.
I found High Noon: the Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic unputdownable. Frankel makes clear that Gary Cooper, though a staunch conservative, conducted himself throughout this bleak era with the kind of integrity that Will Kane demonstrates in High Noon. Cooper had been in films since the 1920's, and the lines that thirty years had etched on his face are part of the power of Will Kane's character. (That graven face, however, makes me wonder why lovely, youthful Grace Kelly would be marrying scarred Will Kane, but I digress.)
At the end High Noon shows us that even though the crisis passes, nothing can ever be the same. After ninety minutes Hadleyville knows itself to be a town of spineless cowards. Sheriff and Mrs. Kane leave it behind. Hollywood's punitive nightmare lasted more than a decade, from 1947 to 1960. Nothing would ever be the same: careers were crushed, friendships wrecked, lives ruined
I never tire of watching High Noon. Unlike most films from the 1950's, it seems to me clean, sleek.

It's been a busy year for the New York Times Cooking community, as you cooked your way through the changing seasons. Your responses to the more than 700 recipes we published in 2022 have been thoughtful, creative and truly inspiring! So here — drum roll, please — you'll find The Times's Margaux Laskey with the 20 recipes you loved the most. (Save the collection of the top 50 here.)
It doesn't surprise me at all that a bowl of noodles took the No. 1 spot. J. Kenji López-Alt's unabashedly pungent Vietnamese American garlic noodles (above) calls for 20 cloves of the stinking rose, about two entire heads. Rounded out with butter, fish sauce, soy sauce and Parmesan, it's a pantry meal that, as the reader Lynn wrote in the notes, is "super easy and very delicious."
Overall, this was a strong year for noodles. Genevieve Ko's chile crisp fettuccine Alfredo with spinach is a fiery, creamy meal that is so simple it doesn't require any chopping. And I've made Hong Thaimee's extremely adaptable pad kee mao (drunken rice noodles) at least half a dozen times since it came out, most recently with broccoli and squid, and with cilantro instead of basil. It's always fantastic.
Chicken is naturally a perennial favorite, and Kay Chun's beautifully balanced one-pot sticky coconut chicken and rice earned the No. 2 spot on the list. It's a little sweet from the coconut milk, and spicy from a hit of hot sauce right at the end. Another winner was Ali Slagle's superbly simple Greek chicken with cucumber-feta salad. It's like a chicken souvlaki, Greek salad and tzatziki all rolled into one 30-minute meal.
Many of you seemed bullish on tofu, too: Yewande Komolafe's heady, vegan brothy Thai curry with silken tofu and herbs and my own crispy tofu with balsamic tomatoes proved popular.
And the sweet-toothed among you put Genevieve's fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes recipe on the list, a favorite for whipping up into a lovely breakfast, brunch or unexpectedly kid-pleasing dinner (with or without its blueberry topping).
Others I've had my eye on include Hetty McKinnon's genius kung pao cauliflower, a vegan take on the usual chile-filled, Chinese American chicken dish, and Naz Deravian's elegant lemon spaghetti with roasted artichokes.
You'll need a subscription for the recipes, because that's what keeps the lights on and our ovens going. If you haven't joined us yet, a subscription to New York Times Cooking might be the perfect gift to give yourself this holiday season (or a great gift for a kitchen-savvy loved one). You can also check us out on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram — where, just in time for your holiday baking binge, Genevieve gives smart and slightly messy advice for opening a new bag of flour. And I'm at [email protected] if you want to get in touch.
I love a good list, as you can see, and there have been some doozies this year. But my favorite ones are a thousand years old. The lists of the Japanese author Sei Shonagon from the Heian period are acute snapshots of the everyday, and include "Elegant Things" (duck eggs, wisteria blossoms), "Rare Things" ("a pair of tweezers that can actually pull out hairs properly") and "Things that look lovely but are horrible inside" ("a heaped plate of food" — a reminder to plate your dinner carefully!).
"The list is the origin of culture," the writer Umberto Eco said, and lists exist "to make infinity comprehensible." But as I peruse the culinary best-of lists of 2022, I think again of Shonagon: "In life, there are two things which are dependable. The pleasures of the flesh and the pleasures of literature."

Recruiter: SAC Employees Are Now Waiting 10 Seconds Instead Of 3 Before Hanging Up On Us
...hedge fund recruiters in the last week said they're starting to see signs that the rock-solid allegiance of these top-shelf traders, who help keep the 56-year-old billionaire art-lover up to his Picasso in fine art, is softening. Traders who recently blew off recruiters looking to pitch them on leaving Cohen's $14 billion Stamford, Conn., firm are now at least hearing them out...To be sure, Bob Olman, president of Alpha Search Advisory Partners, a hedge-fund executive search firm, said he has seen no noticeable uptick in résumés from SAC since Martoma's arrest. Michael Castine, a recruiter at executive search firm Korn/Ferry International, also confirmed that he is not seeing a widespread move by SAC traders to bolt. SAC has been a target of the government's insider trading crackdown for so long, he noted, that employees are nearly immune to it by now. "SAC seems to have been a target for quite some time and they've been through this before," he said of Cohen's roughly 1,000 employees. "I guess it's safe to say nobody's reached out to say, 'Get me out of here.'" [NYP]
Steve CohenMathew MartomaSAC Capital
Things Could Be Worse But They Could Also Be Better At SAC Capital Right Now
The good news, if you are Mr. Steve Cohen: you were neither charged nor "mentioned by name" in the criminal complaint against your former employee, Mathew Martoma. The less good news: YOU ARE PORTFOLIO MANAGER A. YOU NEVER WANT TO BE PORTFOLIO MANAGER A!
Things Could Be A LOT Better At SAC Capital Right Now
Back in October, we detailed a list of things that, if you are the hedge fund manager who goes by the name Steven A. Cohen, you really don't want to hear first thing in the morning. They included: "The fleeces are on back order"; "Your ex-wife is in the lobby"; "There's a photographer here who said he's been authorized to shoot you wearing a king's robe and crown for a set of playing cards"; "You've been outmaneuvered for the Toledo Mud Hens. But I hear the Binghamton Mets may be available." Today we must update that list to include another thing, perhaps THE thing,* that people delivering news to Cohen don't want to relay. Paraphrasing but any variants on: "Mr. Cohen, we've received a Wells notice and by the way, they're considering naming you personally."
Handful of SAC Employees Not Even Waiting For Bonuses To Hit Before Turning In Their Fleeces
SAC Thinking the Unthinkable
The once-proud firm, which could blithely charge three-and-50 with a dismissive shrug of the shoulders or a penetrating, "you've got a lot of fucking nerve to question me" glare, has suffered indignities ranging from a snub from Citigroup (Citigroup!) to begging and coughing up extra cash to hang on to employees to pleading with clients to stick with it through the hard times, even as it continues to post double-digit returns. Now, it's having Japanese banks turn up their noses at a once-in-a-lifetime, too-good-to-be-true opportunity to get a little piece of the Big Guy's pie.

SAC Capital Invites Investors To Gather 'Round For A Chat


The global #Metoo and #TimesUp movements receive a local interpretation in April as Burning Passions Theatre presents a new play, Every Friday, that will tour local youth centres and schools in Lanark Highlands, Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, and Almonte.
The play, written and directed by Laurel Smith, based on stories created by Mary Cowan, Ruby Davidson, Felix Evangelho, Ryan Kreissler, Winston Mavraganis, and Lu Williams, is an exploration of the experiences of a group of youth who come together to share their stories of survival in a violent world. Given the mature subject matter, it is recommended for ages 14+.
Each performance will be followed by a talkback session in which audience members can dialogue with the actors and playwright.
As part of the play's creation, group members will be meeting with renowned Governor-General's Award-winning anti-violence consultant Julie Lalonde, a frequent media source on issues of violence against women whose work has appeared on Al Jazeera, CBC's The National, TVO's The Agenda, Vice, WIRED magazine and FLARE, among others.
Every Friday plays in Perth on Tuesday April 17 at 5pm at YAK (1 Sherbrooke Street East); at the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre (134 Main Street East) on Thursday April 19 at 5pm; at Lanark Community Youth Centre (61 Princess Street) on Friday April 20 at 6pm; and at the Smiths Falls Community Centre (71 Cornelia Street) on Friday April 27 at 4:30pm. Admission is by donation, with no one turned away for lack of funds.
For more information on the project or to arrange a school booking, contact burning@web.ca or call (613) 264-8088.

Tweak says, "Dress for the future:Overdo It"
Elisabeth Glorianna Braddock // Psylocke ( shadow_lust) wrote in parabolical,
Entry tags: arthur mumby, elisabeth braddock, remy lebeau
It's like a tidal wave that rose to take the stars...
WHO: Elisabeth Braddock and OPEN to Remy Lebeau, Michael Connelly, Adam Vasic, Arthur Mumby, Oliver Queen, Spike, Bruce Wayne, & Sid Jenkins [By no means do y'all have to post here, but Psylocke is reaching out telepathically to most of you].
WHAT: She's ready to brave a hurricane to ensure their safety.
WHEN: Soon as Tia and Willow start their fun.
WHERE: Liz and Remy's place.
RATING: R (language).
STATUS: INCOMPLETE
It was sunny and warm rainy and dark one minute and then it was all out chaos and hell the next. Irked, Elisabeth peered out her window and balked. Trees were close to be ;anything not securely in the ground was whipping about; the wind was so strong it sent the sheets of rain in nearly horizontal slants.
"The bloody hell?!"
She quickly tapped into the nearest newscasters head and was floored to hear that a goddamn hurricane was attacking LA. There'd been no warning what so ever and it was a category 3. Fab. She wasn't sure if she should worry like hell over Michael, Adam, and Arthur, or simply go to them. Thankfully, Remy was home, making him one less person to worry over. Elisabeth looked over her shoulder at him and gasped, "S'a fuckin' hurricane out there, Remy. A hurricane!"
Though he would hate it beyond measure, Arthur would have to forgive her for invading his mind. She sent out a telepathic message to Adam, Michael, and Arthur, lips pulled tightly into a thin line, and breath held. [Please tell me you're somewhere safe during this. If not, I am coming to get you NOW.] She was ready to just get them anyway, in a bunker or in a tree. She wanted to run to Michael, but she needed to stay with Remy. She wanted to call out to others, to Oliver and Sid, to Bruce and Spike, but she didn't know what sort of boundaries lay between them. Unless they thought to 'contact' her, she would try and steer clear of their minds as well.

Ever since Elisabeth had spoken of her suspicions towards his current guardian, Art had been avoiding the mansion like a bush fire. He did not want to go back there, but he didn't want to say anything to Mister Luthor, should he take offense and throw him out on the streets somewhere. Not that it helped to be cautious, considering he was currently shivering on the streets in the pouring rain. Elisabeth would kill him if she knew. It wasn't so much that he was scared of Lex, it was just that he really didn't know if he could confront him or not.
When the hurricane had come, one of which wasn't as scary as anything he had seen up beyond the magnificent thunder clouds, but was scary all the same he had taken shelter in a hole in a wall of a shop. He was small for his age, and could fit in easily. [Please tell me you're safe during this. If not, I am coming to get you NOW.] Arthur jumped out of his skin and glanced around him, thinking that there was someone around. When it clicked that it was Miss Elisabeth contacting him, he sent her a shivery reply. [I didn't want to go to the mansion. I am in a hole in a wall. Do not be alarmed.] Clinging Edward the Moose to him tightly, he waited for her to yell or go postal at him for being outside.
Elisabeth had stopped pacing the moment Arthur's voice filled her head, stopping to concentrate on his words. Immediately she flew off into a flurry of obscenities, switching between English and Japanese. She was, deep down of course, relived to hear that he might actually be considering her concerns about Lex, but horrified he was out in this hurricane.
Whipping around to face Remy, she screamed, "He's fucking in this, Remy, he's out there and I'm going to get him!!"
Remy would likely not understand a damn thing she meant, but he would soon. It was only because Elisabeth could see through Arthur's eyes where the boy was, giving her barely enough time to shadow port in front of his hole in the wall, yank him out, and shadow port back home. It was only because of that reason, her mutant abilities, that she could fathom thinking of temporarily braving the monstrous storm, as the winds could have easily swept her away.
She didn't set Arthur (and Edward) down right away, but instead held him close and scolded him. "Arthur, what the bloody hell were you thinking?! You don't hide outdside during a hurricane! You could have called, you could have...I don't know!" She was still on edge from the horrible thoughts that hit her upon hearing the kid wasn't somewhere safe and therefore a rambling mess.
It all happened in a blur for the poor boy. He barely had enough time to fathom how exactly someone had arrived so quickly, and for a brief moment he thought that he was being yanked out of the wall by some hungry neck eating creature from Mars. Even though there was no such thing, as he was fairly certain Mars did not exist anymore but all the same, it was a terrifying thought.
Upon being held ridiculously close, he made a squeaking noise as if she was squeezing the life out of him like a stuffed toy. He made a face, itching to break away from the hold. He had never experienced maternal instincts before, or paternal for that matter. His parents loved him, no doubt, but they weren't the hugs and kisses type. Pulling away, Edward straining desperately in his tight grip he gave Elisabeth an annoyed look.
"I'm an adventurer! I have talked to thunder storms up in their clouds before. I did not think a leisurely stroll out into a hurricane would be so much of an issue." His brows knitted together and he pouted the manliest pout that he could manage. Arthur's shaggy brown hair was in a wet mop over his forehead and his nineteenth century styled clothing was soaked through. He still hadn't gotten into the swing of the twenty-first century. "Besides, you told me to stay away from Mister Luthor and I listened to you."
He was clearly grumpy at having been scolded for listening to her advice.
Elisabeth was too...whatever, to take Arthur's reaction as an insult. She didn't have enough time to have her feelings hurt before he was explaining in a harsh tone the reasonings behind his not-so-safe hide-out. Though he was wet, she hadn't yet moved from her spot on the floor to grab him a tower. Instead, she knelt there, stunned, until words finally found her. "Understand, Arthur, that while it may be fun to frop with hurricanes in your world, it's instant death to do so here. I only reacted out of concern."
She swallowed and stood then, the anger subsiding. She hadn't expected his reaction to being, what she thought was, saved, nor had anticipated being blamed for his situation. She tilted her head slightly eying him. "Have you really been avoiding Lex?"
In Arthur's defense, his hide-out had been very safe indeed. A hole in a wall that only a kid stunted in growth could fit through. At least he thought that was about as safe as it could get. He shivered, half out of anger and half out of being freezing cold. He really disliked it when people thought he couldn't handle things like this. He was a man, in his world and he spent a lot of his time trying to prove to Lex that he was a man in this world as well. He didn't like the thought that he might have to go out and prevent the storm itself just so she could see that he wasn't a weak little boy. He glanced down and averted her eyes with a guilty expression. He'd let her be right this time, and he felt very bad for making her worried. "I'm sorry, Miss Elisabeth. I did not want to worry you, but I was perfectly safe." Just a little bit scared, he added in his mind.
He rubbed the palm of his hand on his cold, wet forehead and let out a sigh. "I don't want to.. but.. you sounded so worried." He admitted quietly after a moment. Right then and there, he realized Lex wasn't the only one he had been avoiding. He'd been avoiding his own parents as well. At least in memory. And Myrtle. It had been so long since he had last seen them. Were they worried? Pushing the unhappy thoughts aside for the moment, he finally looked at Elisabeth. "I am really sorry."

The sounds of the storm had roused Remy out of a perfectly fine nap, and knowing that it would be pointless to try to get back to sleep, he had left his room to check on Elisabeth. He hadn't talked to her all that much since their..."encounter." He hoped she wasn't taking it the wrong way. He had known going into their little "bout" that it had been a way for her to blow off steam, and had figured it was best to give her some space in the aftermath.
Plus, while he had tried to hard to avoid having the moment bring back any kind of strong feelings for Elisabeth (besides the ones that would always be there, under the surface), this had proved to be quite difficult. Not to mention that it had of course caused him to also think about Rogue, which in turned reminded him of all the dirty little secrets he was trying to keep from Elisabeth. In retrospect, he might have thought twice about their little "playtime" if he had known it would end with his thoughts so twisted up.
Now, Remy was just as shocked as Elisabeth to see the news declare this sudden storm a hurricane. But then, he was quickly learning to expect the unexpected in this city...this world. What surprised him even more was Elisabeth's sudden declaration that she had to go help someone, but before he could even respond she was gone in a flash...and then back just as quickly, clutching a child. Remy liked to consider himself a fairly quick-witted guy, usually on his toes, but for a few moments he was speechless. He knew Elisabeth had plenty of friends in this city (a perk he had as yet denied himself), but had not yet made a point to learn their various names and memorize their descriptions when talking to her.
As Elisabeth and her friend talked, Remy hung back, understanding their conversation had nothing to do with him. Still, though, he started to feel as if he should say something. This was his place, too, after all, and he just knew Elisabeth would have something to say later if she thought he made no attempt to be a gracious host to her guest. Luckily, his decision seemed to come at just the right time, as it allowed him to step in and break up the slight tension that seemed to hang in the air.
"Hey, little man," he said, walking up to the two and extending his hand towards the boy, "I'm Remy, Lis'beth's roomie. You'll have to fo'give her...she can get a little...overprotective at times."
She sighed something heavy and just nodded. "And I'm sorry if I scared you...and for invading your head, but it was important, yeah?" Damn kid was growing on her more than she ever would have thought possible...but she actually liked it. It wouldn't be so bad if he had to move in with Remy and herself; she'd have two of her favourite people under one roof. She shot a message to Remy telepatically, saying, [ He means a lot and I can't let him go back to Luthor. Would you object to letting him stay? At least until I find a better home for him.]
Feeling like a wakner for not introducing them, Elisabeth groaned, standing. "Right, sorry, Remy this is Arthur and Edward the Moose. I'm going to grab something of yours for him to wear." It was not a question, but a statement, and she left the room promptly to find Arthur something dry and warm.
She came back with a long sleeved shirt and pair of her capri sweat pants, thinking they'd fit better than anything else with Remy and Elisabeth being so tall. She held them out to Arthur. "I can throw your things into the dryer after you change. Are you hungry, love?"
Arthur nodded and gave Elisabeth a small shrug. "It's all right, Miss Elisabeth. Someone else less.. friendly would have ended up finding me in the end, anyway." He murmured with a small smile. He had no idea if Lex would have ended up finding him, or if a vampire would have come along and ended his life as it was anyway but he was grateful for everything she was doing for him. He just didn't know how to confront Lex in the first place.
He looked at Remy, taking his hand quickly and shaking it. "Hello. It is lovely to meet you." Well, now this was just a little bit on the awkward side. Especially with Elisabeth running off to find clothes.
Clean clothes. That would mean he had to change out of his old clothes. In her house. And what did he do with his under garments? He supposed that he should keep them on, as they hadn't gotten completely wet at all. Thankfully, he took the items from Elisabeth and smiled a shy thanks. Arthur turned to look at her as he was walking away, wide-eyed. "I.. It's really fine, Miss Elisabeth. You do not have to worry about me. I will get changed and I'll go straight back to Mister Luthor because he will be worrying about me.." With that, he scurried off into another room, shutting the door so he could change.
Once Arthur was off changing, Remy turned to Elisabeth. He had heard the urgency in her telepathic message, and knew there was no point in trying to change her mind on this one. Besides, he didn't really see any reason her mind should be changed. Outside in a hurricane was certainly no place for a young boy. And as for returning to Luthor...well, all Remy knew of Luthor was what he had heard in small pieces from Elisabeth, during some of the late night chats they had shared since moving in together. From the sounds of things, he could see why this alternative didn't seem very appealing to her, either.
"I ain't got no problem lettin' de boy stay," Remy told her, and it was true. You don't spend years living at the X-Mansion and not get used to living with children, after all. In their home world, both Remy and Elisabeth had even been teachers at the mansion, so a small part of Remy welcomed the idea of revisiting what had once been a normal routine.
"But," he said, "it don't sound like he has it in his head to stay. We can't just lock up de kid, Lis'beth. You got a suggestion?"
"Don't be silly, Arthur, I have no problem what so ever fixing you something to eat, or perhaps brewing some tea." She smiled after him as he left to change and waited until she heard the door close to talk to Remy.
She let her shoulders droop and rubbed at her creased forehead. "Yeah, I heard...but...shite, I don't know, maybe if we suggest that he at least spend the night or something, he'll like it enough to stay." Elisabeth dropped her hand and looked up at Remy, desperate. She reached for his hand and looked to the room Arthur had ducked into, waiting and anxious. First sound of the boy, she would politely let go of Remy's hand only because she didn't want to make Arthur feel uneasy around them. It was going to take enough to try and convince him to live with them. "I'm sorry," she whispered to her companion.


Samsung SDI launched its new ESS product, including high-capacity 111Ah (Ampere hour) ESS battery cell, which the energy density is substantially increased.
Samsung SDI exhibited new ESS products such as ESS cells, high-capacity ESS, high-power ESS, and residential ESS at the Energy Storage Europe 2018 held for three days from March 13th in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Being an international conference and exhibition for ESS and renewable energies, Energy Storage Europe was taken part by more than 160 ESS related companies from around 50 countries, as well as global ESS companies such as ABB of Switzerland, SIEMENS of Germany, and Younicos.
The 111Ah ESS battery cell showcased by Samsung SDI at the conference has the feature of substantially increased capacity. The capacity of this ESS battery is enhanced while the size is maintained through material innovation, and thus significantly increased the energy density of the battery. Moreover, the strength of this battery is that it allows an easy product upgrade without having to modify its design.
Samsung SDI first unveiled its new high-capacity ESS product, E3 model, which 111Ah cell is used to enhance the energy density. E3 can store the same amount of energy with less number of cells, enabling the size of the ESS facility to be reduced. This feature will receive spotlights from the market because it means that it can save installation and management cost.
In addition, Samsung SDI showcased residential ESS products that are widely used in connection with high-power ESS and solar power, which stabilize the power quality by maintaining the power of the generator from the substation at a certain value. Furthermore, Samsung SDI also introduced a solution optimized for ISO containers, the high-voltage ESS technology. This technology is improved by reducing PCS, the main parts of ESS, and thus enabling it to save space and be cost-effective.
"We will strengthen our focus on the market through differentiated competitive edge such as ESS cells and ESS cells integrated products," said Sewoong Park, vice president of Strategic Marketing Office, Samsung SDI.
According to projections on the ESS market around the world reported by B3, a market research company, Samsung SDI was listed the top company for its market share of 38% in 2017. SNE Research projected that the global ESS market will increase yearly average of 45%, from 6.9GWh this year to 90.4Gwh by 2025.
An energy storage system. In the order of cell → module → rack → container, collective cells become a module, modules become a rack, and racks become a container. ESS manufacturers supply products in various forms according to customers' demand. The final installation form of ESS is in a form of a container.
A unit measurement for battery capacity. Energy density increases when the amount of power per unit volume increases.
It is a system, which is one of the ESS parts, that converts direct current to alternating current of power. For example, direct current generated from solar energy is converted to alternating current, which then is sent to households.


A bit more: an Upbeat Communities initiative, Welcome Boxes partners with local churches to offer recently settled refugees a warm welcome into the local community. The concept is simple…trained volunteers deliver a welcome box filled with small gifts to the homes of recently arrived refugees. Volunteers then offer ongoing friendship to the family or individual and help to connect them into the local community.
To volunteer or find out more: Speak to Faye Sherwood. Alternatively, send your name, contact details and mention Welcome Boxes, to city@stnics.org.


What Is It That Gauri Did That Got Her Killed?
The RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, SS, HJS and hundreds of their affiliates do not believe that "everyone has the right to live." Gauri who was a voice of the oppressed communities and vehemently opposed their plans for a Hindu Rashtra, became their enemy.
Gauri Lankesh and her Kannada weekly, Gauri Lankesh Patrike had become a voice of the marginalised and oppressed in the country. Gauri, an activist journalist, vehemently critiqued Hindutva ideology and its politics. The victory of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014 Lok sabha elections strengthened the regressive Hindutva ideology and its institutions, and violence against minorities, dalits and other marginalised communities in the country got a legitimacy. Gauri was one of those who continued to critique the regressive politics of the BJP. Just as any other critic of Hindutva, Gauri was also attacked and threatened on a number of occasions. These attacks and threats did not stop her from critiquing the government and its Hindutva ideology. A strong voice against the political assassinations of anti-Hindutva voices and rationalists by the Hindutva forces, Gauri Lankesh was assassinated on September 5, 2017 in Bengaluru.
Also read: Who is the Mastermind Behind the Assassinations of the Rationalists?
Unlike the cases of political assassination of Dr. Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare, and M. M. Kalburgi, the investigation of the assassination of Gauri has shown some results. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) which has been investigating the case has arrested twelve persons, all affiliated to Hindu extremist and terrorist organisations like Sanatan Sanstha (SS) and Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS). The SIT which had initially denied the direct role of these organisations in the killing, is now saying that it is difficult to rule out their role, not just in the killing of Gauri Lankesh but also in the other three killings.
The SIT had filed a 650-page chargesheet before the First Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on May 30, 2018. The chargesheet had accused Hindutva activist T. Naveen Kumar of the SS in the case. The interrogation of Naveen Kumar had led to the uncovering of the involvement of Praveen alias Suchith Kumar from Mangalore. Parashuram Waghmare of Sri Rama Sene, a Hindu extremist group, was arrested on June 12, 2018, and was produced before the 3rd ACMM Court. During the investigation, Waghmare has confessed of agreeing to kill Gauri Lankesh "to save Hindu religion". SIT has also stated that Waghmare was approached by a certain man to kill Lankesh and save Hindu religion from "destruction" in August 2017. He agreed to it after watching a few videos of Gauri Lankesh, as "her stances on Hindu religion made my blood boil". The arrest of Waghmare and Amol Kale has brought a larger conspiracy of the SS and other Hindutva organisations to light.
The SIT will be filing the final charge-sheet in the case of Gauri Lankesh in the next two months. The investigation so far has established the fact that there exists a larger conspiracy in place to silence dissent, which the Hindutva organisations and the BJP see as the biggest threat to their agenda of a Hindu rashtra.
What did Gauri do to get herself killed?
As Bhat rightly notes, the Sangh Parivar are functioning at the national level more freely now. RSS Joint General Secretary Krishna Gopal chaired a meeting on May 28, 2018, in New Delhi, to discuss the government programmes and policies. The BJP Vice-President Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, General Secretary Ram Madhav and Secretary Ram Lal; Union ministers Rajyavardhan Rathore (Information and Broadcasting minister), J.P. Nadda (Health Minister), Maneka Gandhi (Women & Child minister), Mahesh Sharma (Culture Minister), Prakash Javadekar (Education Minister) and Thawarchand Gehlot (Social Justice Minister), represented the government in the meeting and met the representatives of the various departments of the RSS. This clearly demonstrates the relationship that the ruling BJP government has with the Hindu fundamentalist body and that it is a mere puppet in the hands of the RSS.
RSS is not the only Hindutva organisation in the country. There are hundreds of them in the country now. Even though the Sangh Parivar keeps distancing themselves from the existing Hindu terrorist outfits, it is proven that all of them help each other to keep up with their pledge for "Hindu Rashtra." The confessions of Waghmare stated in the SIT report not only show the intention behind killing Gauri Lankesh, but also make it clear that there is a machinery functioning behind these planned killings of anti-Hindutva voices. The SIT brought to light the existence of a gang of hardline Hindutva recruits functioning in five states: Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka. The same report says that this "unnamed organisation/gang" comprises at least 60 people and has "recruited people from hardline Hindutva organisations like Maharashtra-based HJS and SS.
The RSS, VHP, Bajrangdal, SS, HJS and their hundreds of affiliates do not believe that "everyone has the right to live." The Hindu rashtra blueprint that these organisations are based on, has no place for Muslims, Christians, and those dalits and adivasis who fight back oppression. Gauri, who was a voice of these communities and vehemently opposed their plans for Hindu Rashtra, became their enemy.

The Yokosuka E1Y was a Japanese floatplane of the 1920s. A single-engined biplane that was designed and developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal as a reconnaissance aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Navy, 320 were built as the Type 14 Reconnaissance Seaplane, entering service in 1925 and remained in operational service until 1932.
In 1921, the Japanese Naval Arsenal at Yokosuka started design of a single-engined reconnaissance floatplane to replace the Navy's Yokosuka Ro-go Ko-gata floatplanes. The resulting aircraft, the Type 10 Reconnaissance Seaplane was designed by a team led by a member of a visiting delegation from Short Brothers of the United Kingdom. It was a single-engined two-bay, two-seat biplane powered by a 400 hp (298 kW) Lorraine-Dietrich engine. Two were completed in 1923, but showed poor performance due to being overweight. A modified aircraft, the Type 10 Model A flew in 1924, showing only slight improvement, while a further revised prototype, the Model B flew in 1925, this curing the aircraft's weight problems while demonstrating better stability and control. As a result, several pre-production Type Bs were built.

Half of Gaza population may not have enough food by June, UN warns
Updated 14.05.2019 17:05
AA Photo
Almost half the population of the Gaza Strip under Israeli blockade is in need emergency food assistance as the U.N. warned that they may not have enough food by next month
At a time when Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan, more than 1 million impoverished Palestinians in the blockaded Gaza Strip may not have enough food by next month as they live on food handouts.
In a statement, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) called for providing an additional $60 million by June to help the agency provide aid to more than 1 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza.
"From fewer than 80,000 Palestine refugees receiving UNRWA social assistance in Gaza in the year 2000, there are today over 1 million people who need emergency food assistance without which they cannot get through their day," the statement said.
The U.N. agency explained that there are now some 620,000 Gazans who live in abject poverty – those who cannot cover their basic food needs and who have to survive on $1.60 per day – and nearly 390,000 absolute poor.
"This is a near tenfold increase caused by the blockade that lead to the closure of Gaza and its disastrous impact on the local economy, the successive conflicts that razed entire neighborhoods and public infrastructure to the ground, and the ongoing internal Palestinian political crisis that started in 2007 with the arrival of Hamas to power in Gaza," Matthias Schmale, director of the UNRWA, said while blaming the 12-year Israeli blockade for the deteriorating living conditions.
The U.S. slashed funding for the UNRWA and for development programs in the Palestinian territories. The World Food Program (WFP) earlier this year announced further cuts in food aid to Palestinians due to funding shortages amid international warnings of an ongoing humanitarian crisis in the occupied territories.
Since 2007, the Gaza Strip has been under a crippling Israeli and Egyptian blockade that has gutted its economy and deprived its roughly 2 million inhabitants of many vital commodities, including food, fuel and medicine. In the long-embargoed enclave, the humanitarian situation has gotten worse each day. Israel's long-lasting blockade of the Gaza Strip has created chronic shortages in Palestinian health facilities. The humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories is deteriorating further as hospitals struggle to cope with high casualties since protests on the Gaza-Israel border began on March 30.
Last September, the World Bank warned that the Gaza economy was in "free fall," calling on Israel and the international community to take immediate action to avoid "immediate collapse" in the Palestinian territory. According to the bank, unemployment is now over 50% and over 70% among Gaza's youth. The poverty rate in the Gaza Strip has reached 80% amid more than a decade-long Israeli blockade, according to the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions. Dozens of Palestinians have long demonstrated against high unemployment rates in the Gaza Strip, as well. A 2017 U.N. report also predicted that Gaza would be unlivable by the year 2020.
Palestinians have been protesting at least weekly along the Gaza border in what they call the "Great March of Return." Protesters are demanding an end to the blockade and for Palestinian refugees to be allowed to return to homes their families fled in the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation. More than 200 Palestinians have been killed since the protests began, while one Israeli soldier was shot dead over the same period. Israel was criticized by a U.N. human rights body for its killing of protesters in Gaza and its treatment of Palestinians, declaring it a war crime under the Statute of Rome. The high casualty toll triggered diplomatic backlash against Israel and new charges of excessive use of force against unarmed protesters.

I ran across this story and thought it would be of interest here.
I hope it illustrates to younger generations that amateur radio interest, self-education and skill building, doesn't just lead to being an "uncool" nerd, it can actually be quite "hip" and valuable.
Too long to post the entire interview, here are just a couple of snips, I encourage clicking the link to the Ultimate Guitar web site embedded in the headline. Far more fascinating anecdotes are contained in the interview. IMO a "must read".
Wireless Guitar System Inventor Remembers Working With Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and Others - A UG Exclusive interview with Ken Schaffer (N2KS), who single-handedly altered the course of rock and roll history.
"Actually, I started out as a recording engineer. Two of my ham radio buddies, Richard Factor and Steve Katz (who would go on to found Eventide Clockworks) and I boldly took on the assignment of building a recording studio. We actually didn't know anything about building recording studios, but we were relentless ham radio buffs and well-read — we knew such esoterica as to line the wall with egg crates for acoustics. We had a three track Ampex there was state-of-the-art at the time and soon added a 4 track Scully, the first in the city, I think, which was kind of like science fiction."
"Although I was involved with music as an engineer, a producer, a publicist, my blood type was always radio [pictured below: Ken Schaffer – High School Radio Club President]. In fact, everything I've done my whole life was somehow an extension of my childhood hobby, ham radio. I was building antennas and transmitters and receivers when I was 11 or 12 years old. Everything I think I've ever done or come to do had to do with frequency — (thus my nickname, "Ken(neth) What's the Frequency Schaffer." Or WTF for short). "What's The Frequency" was later memorialized by the REM song… Interesting note almost no one ever noted: the cover of REM's CD single of "What's the Frequency, Kenneth" has Morse code for "Kenneth" under the title. "
Hope you enjoy.

Glad to see these guys did well and survived....the music business (in all its forms) is a field that eats its young!
There are many,many folks in ham radio who also are in the music biz/electronics side.
One of many stories I have to tell--I will keep it to this one here-- is that I designed, in 2010, the wireless antenna system for the Firebird X guitar that Henry at Gibson screwed up royally on. I am sure many of you guitar folks have seen the video of the 'dozer destroying the remaining Firebird X inventory by running over it with its tank treads...
The wireless on the GUITAR worked great but the guitar itself, like the Dusk Tiger before it, was overly complex to get the requisite sounds. And it looked stupid too.
I never got paid--a common issue with third parties in the 'Henry' era at Gibson--and refused to even take a Firebird X.
Gibson went 'down dee draino' last year and is trying to exist post-bankruptcy.
Henry, IMO, was a major disaster that should have retired 20 yers ago. Your opinion may differ.
I cherish my custom LP-SG and custom flame LP custom. Both pre-Henry. And my 2 Flying V2's are to die for.

What a small world! I worked for Ken Schaffer!
I even put up his 2 element Quad, (From Lightningbolt), back about 30 years ago..
His company was called, Belcom/Belka..(USA / Russian company)...
I was the satellite engineer....

One of many stories I have to tell--I will keep it to this one here--
Chip, other than the obvious lead word in company names and New England area, did you have any connection with Fractal Audio Systems? (Perhaps unknowingly inspired? )
An interview with their founder Cliff Chase reveals another connection between their guitar audio innovations and radio experimenting.
"IC: At which point would you say that you decided to pursue a career in engineering?
CC: I knew ever since I was a kid I was going to be an engineer. That's all I did – guitar and screwing around with electronics ever since I was a little kid. In those early days I broke more than I fixed. I used to try and make my own things and sometimes it would be successful. More often than not, it wouldn't. I tinkered with radios, and then started making my own guitar effects and all that stuff. "
73, John, WØPV
BTW, its no secret that I play, and produce music. I just try to keep that off the internet. For the moment, call it my 'private pleasure'.
People just like the WORD 'FRACTAL'---most companies with 'fractal' in their titles have nothing to do with fractals....
Fractal Antenna System,Inc. was started in 1995 and pre-dates these other 'fractal--like-that word' companies.
There was a company called 'Fractal Systems' in Florida (founded after the above) that notoriously had its principles go to jail for de-frauding the government on various contracts. N-O connection to the above!!
There is no such thing as 'fractal audio'. The basis functions are sinusoidal waves, which makes them 'Fourier' and not 'fractal'. It is, on occasion, useful to describe certain ' sonic distortion' regimes are 'fractal' because of the non linearities.
Here's what happened to 'Fractal Systems'.....again: NOT 'Fractal Antenna Systems'----
https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdfl/p...ng-small-business-innovation-research-program
I think that we shouldn't downplay what Ken did, especially with his 'wireless mike' stuff. The system was a huge enabler for live venues, the first of its kind (earlier wireless mike systems were noisy, dropped out, or had major 'coloration' of the input signal.
Ken, and Bob Heil (for example) are two hams who, among others, enabled the modern 'live performance' era.

That depends on how you look at it.
Here's an mp3 clip with outtakes of a fractal music CD that I put together a long time ago (DOS 3 era):
http://www.solorb.com/fracmus/sampler.mp3
The melody and volume are fractal, in some cases the rhythm is fractal.
You can read about it here: http://www.solorb.com/fracmus/
I'm not really selling the CDs anymore, I plan on uploading it to archive.org to give away.
That video of the 'dozer crushing new guitars is tough to watch, what a waste of materials and effort,
it reminds me of a photo I saw on QRZ with piles of Collins gear rotting in the rain.

Q: How to export a plot as static Image from plotly with high quality? For the visualization part, I use ggplotly and next knit my markdown file into HTML.
Next, when I want to download a static image from plotly output, the quality of the PNG file is very low. So, I wonder if there is a way to increase the quality of downloadable static images in plotly?

A: You can modify the mode bar when you create a Plotly object. (You can add the change later, as well.) You can see more options regarding the modebar here.
For example:
library(plotly)
data(gapminder, package = "gapminder")

plot_ly(data = gapminder, x = ~continent, y = ~lifeExp,
        type = "bar") %>%
  config(
    toImageButtonOptions = list(
      format = "svg",
      filename = "myplot",
      width = 600,
      height = 700
    )
  )

the making of the day may break
Question: Is it possible to discuss any piece of work created in 2020 without mentioning that it was made in Year One of COVID-19?
My answer : no.
Indeed in 2020, a world obscured by fog felt wholly appropriate, as we all felt as if we were living in a limbo, waiting to be able to reengage with life.
2020 was also a year of record-breaking mega-fires - from California to Siberia, from Brazil to Alaska. Back home in California, I spent 6 weeks living in landscapes shrouded by the toxic smoke formed from forests and animals incinerated hundreds of miles to the north.
And 2020 was a year of vital civil protest, where we saw people obscured in fog-like plumes of tear gas.
I actually didn't intend to start The Day May Break on the African continent. I had other plans. Well, we all did. But COVID changed everything. So as I looked around the planet, and the countries relevant to the themes of this work, photographing in Kenya and Zimbabwe seemed very achievable. Kenya had stayed open to international visitors throughout, and Zimbabwe opened up a month or so before I arrived.
I carefully chose the five sanctuaries / conservancies where we would photograph based on their repu-tations and good practices. I only wanted the best of partners, whose conservation and rescue work I could endorse. All these five more than fit that bill. And this was a two-way street : they also needed to approve me and make sure that the animals would be treated respectfully. It was a pleasure to work with all five, and I dearly hope that they benefit from the additional exposure. Perhaps some of you may also donate to help the work they do.
Of course, because these animals were rescues, the people whom I photographed had to come to where the animals were. In the weeks before I arrived, several researchers traveled around, meeting people impacted by climate change. In Kenya, they found people close to where we photographed, who had migrated to a nearby town after the collapse of their livelihoods elsewhere in Kenya. In Zimbabwe, many came from much further away: from the east, cyclone survivors like Luckness and Kuda, and from the west, struggling farmers like Matthew.
All the people had been dealt misfortune in differing degrees due to climate change. Some were extreme. After all, what is worse than losing your children? But throughout their time on the shoot, they were all unfailingly gracious, dignified and patient.
And the animals were special in their own way too, preternaturally calm and accommodating, with no signs of stress, clearly well cared for by their keepers.
The crew and I were astonished by how relaxed everyone was in front of camera around the animals in such close proximity. Occasionally, a rhino or elephant slowly moved over and nudged someone, like Najin the rhino did with James, or Kura the elephant did with Luckness. But they barely flinched in response.
It spoke to the absolute trust that all of us put in the keepers at each of these sanctuaries / conservancies. They knew the animals so well, and had a truly close affinity with them.
Each morning, I would head to location, where the animals and a small group of people would be photographed that day. But I deliberately chose to have no plan. Unlike previous bodies of work, I would stay completely fluid, open, experimental, and see what evolved. I have always tried to embrace happenstance. I have always said that what happens in real life is far better than what my imagination can concoct. But I found it especially liberating here to surrender myself, more than ever before, to the possibility of serendipity.
I tried to direct the people as little as possible, to allow them to find a way of being comfortable in their own way. Some of the most affecting expressions and postures were just how they chose to present themselves, from the moment they sat down.
Occasionally, out of nowhere, the serendipitous momentary alignment of three elements - the people, the animals, and the constantly shifting layers of fog - would materialize into one distilled, balanced frame. No need for editing afterwards. It was all there in the raw file.
Talking of raw files, this obviously indicates that for the second time, I ended up photographing with a digital (medium format) camera. I mention this for those who know of my love of film. Because the fog could look fundamentally different from frame to frame, depending on the maddeningly constant shifts in wind, it was essential that I be able to review the shots soon afterwards. This meant that in shooting digital, I had a much better chance of maintaining my sanity than what happened over the years shooting film: nervously waiting weeks or months to process the film at a small lab in East London. You would frequently find me there, with head buried in my hands, far too many thousands of miles away to go back and reshoot.
The fog. It was all created on location using water-based non-toxic fog machines. The shoot began in Kenya, where it was cool and damp most of the days, which helped the fog cast an ethereal shroud over the subjects. But in Zimbabwe, I got a rude awakening. 90˚F / 32˚C heat, 10% humidity, and extreme winds. Combine those three, and the result was that the fog evaporated almost the moment it emerged from the machines.
And then there was my old nemesis, the African sun. Shooting in sunlight was, as always, never an option for me. I needed the melancholic, somber soft light that came from cloud cover, that worked in emotional and aesthetic tandem with the fog. This meant that on many days, we really only had the 30 minutes before sunset, and the 30 minutes after sunset, in which to photograph. Considering that we were also working with animals, it was all the more miraculous that I got anything in such a short time frame on those days. Again, testament to the animals' demeanor and their benevolent carers.
I had found it artistically exhilarating to work on large-scale, visually detailed tableaux for my previous projects, Inherit the Dust (2016) and This Empty World (2019). But coming from those, I found it liber-ating here to revert to a much simpler aesthetic.
In that regard, perhaps the elaborate, ambitious This Empty World (2019) was my electric album, and The Day May Break was something less grand, but more intimate: the acoustic follow-up.
While I was on this shoot, I was also researching people and sanctuaries elsewhere on the planet. But then I surprised myself: my time in Kenya and Zimbabwe proved more productive than I expected. So it became clear that this body of work could be the stand-alone first part of the series that you see to-day.
But the plan is to keep going. Other continents. More survivors, both human and animal, in need of environmental justice.
(And possibly more acoustic albums.)
Give & tread lightly
A percentage of my share of print sale proceeds will be evenly distributed on a biannual basis to each of the people photographed, as a kind of ongoing royalty payment.
The non-profits caring for the animals in the project will also receive a share of these proceeds.
For a project about climate change, this project had better be carbon-neutral.
We calculated the flights, the transportation of equipment, the fuel consumed from vehicles and gen-erators, etc, and then made the equivalent carbon offset payments


Heavy industry leaders rely on Sigmetrix' tolerance analysis and GD&T software solutions to work on complex surfaces to obtain unique critical design information not otherwise available. Whether it's the intricacies of a truck engine, the assembly of a tractor cab, or the fit and finish of an instrument panel, engineers and designers depend on our technology to add robustness to their designs and improve product performance while increasing revenues and decreasing costs.
Objective: CETOL 6σ used to solve analyze a complex problem in the engine's design – to determine the sensitivity of a variety of dimensions, including valve train analysis, head assembly and piston assembly.
Results: Analysis determined valve clearance design variation on the engine. Half of the dimensions on the top 30 were more sensitive than previously thought. Based on the study, the customer increased the engine's efficiency and boosted performance.
Objective: To gather sensitivity and contribution information necessary to focus on critical features for engineering analysis.
Results: CETOL 6σ used to understand fit and alignment. Determined welding fixture error. Improvement in assembly and manufacturing process resulted; reduced assembly time and warranty costs.
Objective: Cab door works similar to a car door, with a latch on the door that locks onto a pin attached to the cab frame. Misalignment of the pin and latch causes the latch to malfunction causing the door to not stay closed. Multiple components require many engineering hours to evaluate.
Results: Sigmetrix' solutions determined issue and solved problem in matter of weeks; reduced engineering assessment time by three months and saved the customer over half a million dollars.
Objective: Large bearing was stacked in set of five; used to control variation of oil drill shafts. Contact area was not being controlled properly and there was too much load on a single bearing set. A small design variation resulted in inconsistent loads, causing drill failure.
Results: CETOL 6σ was used to perform an analysis that showed the sensitivity of a certain bearing needed adjustment – resulting in a design change.

Being way more than a famous shoe designer, Manolo Blahnik is the man who can single-handedly make a woman feel instantly sexy with his ultra sophisticated, wildly fun high heel shoes. Becoming a household name through shows like Sex and the City and his never ending list of celebrity endorsements, Manolo Blahnik has become one of the most influential shoe designers of our time. Unfortunately it is known in fashion circles that when Blahnik dies there will be no more Manolos. There is no protégé or heir and no desire from the great designer to have the label continue without him.
Christian Louboutin was born in France in 1963. He was expelled from school at age 16 and started working for the brilliant shoe designer Charles Jourdan two years later. In the early 1990s, Louboutin launched his own line of women's shoes. He added his legendary red soles in 1993. The Louboutin brand is one of our favorites and his wonderful and unique shoes are all we want.
It's rather easy to describe the sporty fashion style: it's sporty! Girls will typically wear some popular sport companies like Adidas or Nike and will always have runner shoes (or similar style shoes) on. They prefer a simple and subtle look that oozes 'sports', with plain colors like white, black, and gray being BIG hits. They won't strive for anything fashionable or flashy and would prefer sweatpants, tight runner pants, and basic tees. Don't forget the ponytail to finish it off!
The first true "Chanel suit" was produced in 1925; Coco used chains to weigh down the fabric, so that it hung "just so". She favored ornamentation such as ribbons, pretty buttons, and ropes of pearls. Her feminine touches added style and impact to her wearable designs; in fact, even vintage Chanel designs remain remarkably timeless and easy to wear.
This sleek blend of an advanced robe, a conventional kimono and a legitimate coat has been a shockingly in vogue and all around acknowledged pattern since the previous summer. A fancier, single-shaded adaptation of a year ago's midriff length elegant gowns absolutely worth bringing down from the runways that it is administering this. They are slouchy, ample and lightweight. In spite of the fact that tossed in with these late spring trench coats, only for it, belts, particularly a medium-estimate obi belt, with a bunch in the side, can finish the look.
Lauren first gained acclaim with his wide ties, which were often made of unusual fabrics. These standout accessories were not yet trendy in the late Sixties, when he began to try and sell them to New York stores. Soon, word spread about Lauren's somewhat dandyish personal style and his flashy neckwear; he used this success to find investors and then he branched out into men's and ladies suits and casual wear. Eventually, his clothing lines were sold at high-end stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, where they became extremely popular.
A leading name who embarked on the world of fashion in 1980's. She won the Yuv Rattan Award and is counted among the modern-designers of the country. Best known for her theme collections, and focuses on silhouettes and is always busy in experimentation and introducing new trends! Rina-Dhaka has arranged shows in Paris, London, Singapore, Hong-Kong, New-York, Jakarta & Dubai . Rina's Singapore shows in 2001 nd 2002 were her major victory! Even "Vogue" and "Elle" (International megazines) have featured 'er work and fashion-designing is now her family business as her brothers Shantanu and Nikhil also joined her in late 90's.
It's not hard to point out a gal that wears the cowgirl fashion style! In this particular style, there's a few staples that are an absolute must for the wardrobe: undoubtedly an adorable cowgirl hat, typically in either some shade of brown or pink, a pair of flared blue jeans with western themed leather belt, denim jacket to match, a pair of cowgirl boots, and a few white t-shirt and plaid button-ups.

The Tuner Challenge FR-S Edition is on. Three professional teams will use their creativity and expertise to create 3 custom FR-S performance machines. Over the course of a year, they'll compete in 11 unique challenges – ranging from speed and handling to agility and more. Plus, they'll compete for your support. Stay Tuned to catch all the action.
Anyone hear about this or following it? One of my close friends is working with the Top Tuner team. I got to check it out at CanJam this weekend while they were tearing apart a brand new FR-S. Lot's of plans for the FR-S and I'm honored to have access to the build. Got to take the car out for a spin to break it in a bit. Really can't wait till my own arrives..
I believe they brought it to the track this weekend too. We should be seeing these cars at CSCS, KPG and Touge track events, and finally Import Fest.
