Neurotransmitters Analysis Service
Neurotransmitters, also named as chemical transmitter, are a great variety of chemical agents released by neurons to stimulate neighbouring neurons. Through this way, impulses to are transferred from one cell to the next throughout the nervous system. The synapse is the site where neurons meet, consisting of the axon terminal of one cell and the dendrite of the next. A synaptic cleft is a microscopic gap existing between the neurons. When arriving at the axon terminal of one neuron, the nerve impulse would elicit the presynaptic membrane to release a chemical substance. The release of the chemical substance is stimulated by the electrical activity of the neuron. The chemical substance can be transported at extremely high speed to the postsynaptic membrane of the adjoining neuron. It will take only milliseconds for the chemical substance to transfer across the synaptic cleft. The chemical substances like this are called neurotransmitters. The identified neurotransmitters include dopamine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, and serotonin.
The precursors of neurotransmitters are plentiful and simple such as amino acids and biogenic amines. These precursors are readily available from the diet and only simple biosynthetic steps are needed to convert the precursors to neurotransmitters. Though only one kind of neurotransmitter are produced and released by some neurons, most neurons make and release more than one neurotransmitter at any given time. Because of the coexistence of more than one neurotransmitter in the synapse, it is possible for the cell to exert several influences at the same time. In the axon terminal on the presynaptic side of a synapse, there are some synaptic vesicles clustered beneath the membrane. Neurotransmitters are packaged into these synaptic vesicles. Though low-level baseline release of neurotransmitters occurs without electrical stimulation, peak-level release of neurotransmitters usually is stimulated by an action potential at the synapse or a graded electrical potential.
In recent years, neurotransmitters have been the subject of intensive investigations. For example, because of its effect on alertness, memory and learning, an essential neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, acetylcholine has been widely studied. Several issues must be considered, when select a method for separation and quantification. Since the concentration and the volume of most neurotransmitters in the extracellular space is rather low, the developed analytical method should be able to work with the smallest sample volume and provide detection limits lower than the lowest concentration in the dialysate.

We live in a beautiful country. I was reminded of this when our Cessna flew over the remote regions of Ontario on our way to Miminiska Lodge. This is one of the many fly-in lodges and outpost cabins operated by Wilderness North, a company offering "an iconic wilderness retreat" in the northwest of Ontario. Check them out here.
Commissioned by Ontario Tourism and Northwest Ontario I was excited to explore the Canadian north with my favourite pioneer. I envisioned us deep in the forest, living off the land, battling the elements while trekking on foot or paddling upstream by canoe. Not convinced of my outdoor adventure chops I knew this would be a test. I would have to journey inward and give rise to my rough and tumble roots, unleashing the explorer within. In hindsight this assumption was a bit dramatic. We were treated like Kings and Queens, enjoying saunas and home cooked meals under the northern light sky. Those close to me will know this is a good thing.
This area - the Boreal forest – is only accessible by float plane in the summer and ice roads in the winter. During our two hour flight north of Thunder Bay, I couldn't help but harken back to a sad memory of myself and two childhood friends trying to rescue an overturned float plane from a murky lake near my home. That experience never triggered a fear of flying but our upright landing did bring a sense of relief.
We spent the first day familiarizing ourselves with the Lodge, getting to know the staff and planning our shoot schedule for the following two days of filming. I would be remiss to not also mention the time spent nourishing our bodies with freshly baked sweets - chocolate cake, lemon pie, crepes – in preparation for the "work" ahead.
On this particular project, Goh had to rely on me to capture the video so he could focus on the primary objective – stills. Sometimes challenges that push me outside of my familiar role as a producer can make me quite anxious and frankly, I'll decline. On the flipside, if I'm able to embrace that anxiety I'm almost always rewarded with an undeniable sense of personal satisfaction. This experience was no exception and so with a slight bit of trepidation here's one of the videos I filmed (drone shots aside – those were filmed by Goh).
Early the next morning, our guide steered us along the Miminiska Lake. The scene was beautifully eerie. A layer of fog covered the placid water. Our kayaker paddled toward the rising sun while Goh flew his drone overhead. The fog slowly dissipated and the sun warmed us. Nature's allure found its way to our own backyard. The shots were stunning.
For lunch the staff prepared a shore lunch menu of fresh walleye – caught moments before by our guide - beans, corn on the cob, bannock, potatoes and zucchini. At this point it was clear we weren't pioneers settling a new territory but more out-of-towners enjoying this truly wonderful hideout, reconnecting with nature and capturing its beauty on film.
That night we built an impressive fire, roasted marshmallows and listened to our pilot's angelic voice sing songs about rowing on the lakes of Canada. It was reminiscent of my late teens when my friends and I would camp around a fire and get drunk on (cheap) wine while songs of the 90s lulled us into the night. I felt right at home.
It's always nice to simplify, to get back to nature, to withdraw from the distractions of urban life and rejuvenate. It's also nice to beat complacency and design a life that is so refreshing and as some of you can attest, very needed. Not to discount my years as a dedicated producer but this past year has provided a whole slew of opportunities where making uncomfortable decisions has led to amazing outcomes.
I was sad to leave the Lodge, our new friends and the peace that comes from being in the depths of nature. I'm sure there will be another adventure that forces me to connect with my rough and tumble roots but this was the perfect way to surrender to the beauty of the Canadian wilderness.

Pierre-André Senizergues brings back és footwear!
by Contributor.
The Accelerate.
éS footwear started in 1995 and was quickly adopted and accepted as being one of the top footwear brands of the day. With a team stacked full of legends from the offset: Sal Barbier, Tom Penny, Eric Koston and Chad Muska, there was little they could do wrong on that front. The shoes had to match the team's style and that would uphold the punishment. Their first line was full of innovation technologies that would accomplish this. For example the Accel was the first ever shoe to have a 'Kevlar Ollie-pad', the Aura was the first ever skate shoe with an air system and the SLB was the first ever mid-top with a neoprene sock liner. This kind of innovation and 'firsts' helped to put éS at the very forefront of skate shoe progression. As the brand grew, so did the team and éS was there when the riders accomplished some amazing feats. Koston, Burnquist, Saari and Silas Baxter Neal were all on éS when they individually won their S.O.T.Y titles. Burnquist did the first ever loop in a pair of éS – and also a loop with a gap at 12O'clock in a pair too. The amount of other names that they've had on the team over the 16 years that they were running is pretty nuts: Ronnie Creager, Paul Sharpe, Rick McCrank, Rodrigo TX, John Rattray, Antwuan Dixon, Kevin Terpening, I could go on. As a company éS accomplished a lot outside of shoe design and team rosters too. The first éS "Game Of Skate" was done/played on the first ever KOTR in 2003. Initially a bit of fun for the road, it quickly became hugely popular and went global. Menikmati is still one of the greatest videos ever made; éS was also the first ever shoe company to make a video. With all of this history and prestige, what ever happened to make them disappear? What lies in store for the éS of the future? And what about the shoes? We talked all of this over with the man behind the scenes Pierre-André, the founder of éS and the man who's bringing it back.
– Joe Coward.
Why do you feel that right now is the right time to bring back és?
Maybe I need to go back a little bit first and explain what I tried to do in 2012. I felt that I needed to go on a 'creative retreat'; I felt that there were way too many brands in the market and also skateboarding was changing a lot. We needed a rethink. It's a bit similar to what I've done in the 90's, after we brought out Etnies and then es in '95 and then Emerica in '96, at that time I was feeling that we needed more of a skate shoe brand, you know? Run by skateboarders, that could give direction on the skate shoes and of skateboarding. Which worked out pretty good but along the way, I felt that after 2008, after the global recession, a lot of things were being done in skateboarding that needed more focus. So when we went away with éS for a creative rethink, for skate shoes and skating in general. Maybe I should define what a 'creative retreat' is (laughs). It's not really something where you sleep, it's very active. There's a lot of thinking going on. It's basically a place where we want to be independent and for the people who design shoes to do whatever they want, to come up with what the future looks like. The brand is still in 'creative retreat' and a lot of things are happening. But what happened along the way, was that when we put éS in creative retreat in 2012, we didn't actually realise just how iconic the brand was. We'd been doing the brand for 18 years, but were basically always designing shoes, skating, always keeping busy, but we never took a step back to look at the brand. So when we went on 'creative retreat' we realised how many people actually wanted the brand, and really wanted some shoes. That's when we decided that we should count the designs we've been working on, maybe release some limited edition shoes of some of the designs we've been working on. It happened in Japan first (as you probably heard about it) last November and people in Japan were asking us, were begging, to get some éS shoes. So we gave them some of the original 'Accel', because those were the shoes they were asking for and to our surprise éS became the number one shoe in 'core' shops and some more 'action culture' style shops.
Really?!
Yeah immediately, and we realised, wow, the Japanese are really loyal, right? It's a very loyal culture and Japanese skaters were very loyal to éS. They really love the brand. We already thought that was pretty cool but what happened in the meantime was that we were also getting a lot of reports in the US and Europe and apparently people really wanted some shoes, so we thought we should drop some. After designing some pairs we decided to drop them on February the 14th, because we love skateboarding – which might sound a bit cheesy, but it's really how we feel. We've been skateboarding for a long time and éS has always been about loving skateboarding. So we're going to be dropping three styles that we're really excited about with only two colours of each and they'll go to only one hundred stores around the world. For each colour there will only eight pairs available for each store.
So very limited
Extremely limited yeah. It's more because we love éS so much and we really want the brand to be how people want it. But it's not the official relaunch of the brand; it's more that we want to give some love to the market.
When's the 'official' re-launch?
We are still in 'creative retreat' so we don't have any official plans at this point, we kind of want to (from the 'creative retreat') be able to see what people want, assess the market and sort of see what skateboarding is doing in general. So we're going to be dropping those three styles in Europe, to only thirty stores – nine of which are in the UK – and we only want to support stores that are deeply involved in the skate community and who really like the design and love skateboarding. I think there's a lot happening in publishing through digital media, it's the digital age, but I also think it's important to keep stuff face-to-face. And so the stores we're involved with are really involved in their community and have a face-to-face interaction with the culture….from an economic situation, with these big brands coming in.
What's your position on these big brands coming in?
I think that my position is that I've always been about looking after the smaller brands, because that's where we come from, I think we're really careful with where we're going and where you can buy the brand. Right now, I'm not sure that brands coming from sports are really looking after the concerns of skateboarders. I think it's important that skate brands are coming from skateboarders. The guys at the top of those brands, it's important that they fit in those shoes and that they're skating. I think eventually it could really be a check-mark on the page, for those brands, who don't really have that much interest in it. I think it will really hurt the market. I think a lot of the shops that sell them don't really stay dedicated and that's why the shops we're dealing with identify with what we believe. But they do their thing and we do our thing. For us we really believe skateboarding is a culture, it's not a sport. It's about living and breathing it you know? What we create, how we live our lives.
Ok. So are you planning on putting together a team at any point? éS had some of the biggest names in skateboarding there's currently a petition circulating online to try and get Ronnie Creager back on éS!
At this point we are not planning on putting anybody on the team, which is more because we are working from our 'creative retreat'. It's more about really supporting the skateboarding community and bringing something exciting to skate shops that are doing something for the community; and keeping it more personal with them.
Rather than the "athletes"?
Right, because I think skateboarders really need to think about what skateboarding is doing.
Was this 'creative retreat' triggered by financial issues, or anything that had to do with the team at the time?
Some of it was to do with the market in general, but mostly it was to look at the future of skateboarding and to really think how we could design the future of it. éS has always been very innovative in its approach and now skating is so exciting, there's so many good skaters, good spots to go to and it's really alive in many ways. I think with éS going on the 'creative retreat' we really tried to think about how can we push skateboarding forward. So at this point there is no team, it's more about the community and where skateboarding is going.
Can we go back to when éS first started? It seemed to have gotten really big, really quickly. Do you think it's because of the technology of the shoes? Because of the team? Or a bit of both?
I think for me it was looking for what people needed. I felt that a lot of skaters wanted shoes with more of a technical aesthetic so I designed the 'Accel'. I wanted to design shoes that really look good on the board and off the board too, so you can wear them in the street and they don't look too crazy. They are sophisticated enough to look super sharp.
And this is something that you want to keep?
Yeah exactly, in the same way that before I was drawing inspiration from the fashion around when I was skating and really looking at fashion and style; and designing the shoes with éS was always about having style. So if you look at the logo you can see that we wanted something that creates a certain contour and shape. It's not a straight logo, it has curves. Because when we skate, we never skate straight, it's always with movement, with a contour to it that also brings a lot of style. I think that's one of the magical things about skateboarding: it's elegant and very stylish.
Are clothing and accessories on the cards for the future, after these shoes?
Just for now we're going to focus on the shoes and see what happens. I really like it actually, it's just the same as when you skate, you don't really have a guideline. You get that sense of freedom and freedom of expression, the feeling of being independent and nobody telling you what to do and that's exactly the mode that we are in right now. So we'll do it how we feel, but also we'll respond to what people are saying.
So if people love the shoes and say "we want you to have a new team, put another 'Menikmati' out" and bring it completely back to life, than that's what you're going to do?
We'll see (laughs) maybe who knows? I kind of get this feeling, we need to focus our attention on dealing with our affairs, you know? And do what we like to do.
Sounds good! Thanks a lot for you time, I hope it goes well.
Here's what éS have to say about their collection:
The three shoes are inspired from the original Accel that carries an aesthetic that is iconic and legendary. Designed from a perspective of movement, the shoes are about highlighting contours – just like the éS logo. Consistent, yet evolving.
AccelLite
There's nothing like skating in a shoe that fits like a glove and that's exactly what you get when you wear the AccelLite – comfort is king. This trainer-inspired silhouette is an evolution of the heritage Accel, with hints to it found in the side panel and stitch detailing. The deconstructed design features a long toe that anchors the center of the shoe and wraps just the right amount of fabric around the foot giving it a superior fit offering great flexibility and movement. The mesh material allows breathability with a toe cap reinforcement underneath for support and highlights a unique red iceberg cameo that looks amazing both on and off the board. The soft lycra tongue straps are added for fit and comfort. The AccelLite features a STI Foam Lite 2 Ortholite footbed for added comfort.
A fan favorite, the Accelerate is about board feel, comfort and durability straight out of the box. Featuring a soft lyrca tongue that straps for comfort and superior fit combined with a slim silhouette and a one-piece toe cap, this design allows for a perfect flick and controlled ollie. Standing up against the wear and tear of grip tape and concrete, the durability of this shoe is reinforced through Thermo Plastic Urethane that is seamlessly fused into the suede with heat and provides excellent abrasion resistance and also carries the same shape of the original Accel ollie area. While the gum color in the outsole is very éS, it is designed with a little more wave and contour giving it a modern look. The Accelerate features STI Pro Foam Polyurethane footbed for comfort and impact absorption.
The construction of this vulcanized shoe is classic with a wing-tip, dressy shoe feel that features a full grain leather tongue and a pop of color on the outsole that has an Accel inspired tread for superior grip, board feel and durability. It's the type of shoe that can just slip on and look great with a comfy fit that is extremely flexible andkeeps you close to your board because of the elastic goring feature. It has a micro suede heel panel on the inner collar lining for added comfort and to prevent heel slip. The footbed also features STI Foam Lite 1 Ortholite. Everything is calculated in the design details from the size of the eyelets to the wax laces that round out a nice and premium look.

Q: SceneKit – Clone a node recursively I am trying to clone all nodes (including their material) recursively. I want to change certain material properties in the cloned nodes without impacting the original node(materials).
This is what I have so far, but it does not seem to be working. Any change made on the new nodes is still reflected on the original nodes.
SCNNode *newRoot = [self.root clone];

[newRoot enumerateHierarchyUsingBlock:^(SCNNode * _Nonnull node, BOOL * _Nonnull stop) {
    SCNNode *oldNode = [self.root childNodeWithName:node.name recursively:YES];
    node.geometry = [oldNode.geometry copy];
    node.geometry.materials = [oldNode.geometry.materials copy];
}];

A: Try this code:
#import "GameViewController.h"

@implementation GameViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    SCNView *sceneView = (SCNView *)self.view;
    SCNScene *scene = [SCNScene sceneNamed:@"art.scnassets/ship.scn"];
    sceneView.scene = scene;
    sceneView.allowsCameraControl = YES;
    sceneView.autoenablesDefaultLighting = YES;

    SCNMaterial *material = [SCNMaterial material];
    material.lightingModelName = SCNLightingModelPhysicallyBased;
    material.diffuse.contents = [NSColor redColor];

    SCNNode *ship = [scene.rootNode childNodeWithName:@"ship"
                                          recursively:YES].childNodes[0];

    SCNNode *shipCopy = [ship clone];
    shipCopy.position = SCNVector3Make(10, 0, 0);

    SCNGeometry *geometryCopy = (SCNGeometry *)[ship.geometry copy];
    shipCopy.geometry = geometryCopy;
    [shipCopy.geometry replaceMaterialAtIndex:0 withMaterial:material];
    [scene.rootNode addChildNode:shipCopy];
}
@end

A: From the online documentation:

Cloning or copying a node creates a duplicate of the node object, but not the geometries, lights, cameras, and other SceneKit objects attached to it—instead, each copied node shares references to these objects.
This behavior means that you can use cloning to, for example, place the same geometry at several locations within a scene without maintaining multiple copies of the geometry and its materials. However, it also means that changes to the objects attached to one node will affect other nodes that share the same attachments. For example, to render two copies of a node using different materials, you must copy both the node and its geometry before assigning a new material.

Reinhart Koselleck, né le  à Görlitz et mort le  à Bad Oeynhausen, est un historien allemand moderniste et contemporanéiste, généralement considéré comme l'un des plus importants du . Il occupait dans la discipline une position originale et ne peut être rattaché à aucune « école » historique, travaillant dans des champs aussi différents que l'épistémologie de l'histoire (Historik), l'histoire des concepts, qu'il a contribué à constituer, la linguistique, les fondements anthropologiques de l'histoire et l'histoire sociale, du droit et de l'administration.

Ses travaux ont notamment porté sur la Prusse et l'Allemagne aux  et s. Il est connu pour sa thèse Le Règne de la critique (1954), fortement influencée par la pensée de Carl Schmitt, sa participation à la grande entreprise des Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe (1971-1992), et son ouvrage Le Futur passé (1979).

Biographie et carrière
Reinhart Koselleck fait partie de la génération des historiens allemands qui étaient de jeunes adultes à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et du régime national-socialiste. Il naît en 1923 à Görlitz, en Basse-Silésie, dans une famille d'enseignants. En 1941, après la fin de ses études secondaires (Abitur), il s'engage dans la Wehrmacht et combat sur le front oriental ; il est de 1945 à octobre 1946 prisonnier de guerre à Karaganda (Kazakhstan).

Après son retour en Allemagne, il étudie de 1947 à 1953 l'histoire, la philosophie, le droit public et la sociologie à l'université de Heidelberg et à l'université de Bristol (Grande-Bretagne). Il compte parmi ses maîtres de nombreux universitaires éminents comme les philosophes Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Karl Löwith, Hans-Georg Gadamer, l'historien Werner Conze, le sociologue Alfred Weber, le spécialiste de droit public Ernst Forsthoff et le professeur de médecine Viktor von Weizsäcker ; ces seuls noms indiquent déjà une remarquable diversité d'intérêts et d'approches.

Le , Kosselleck soutient à l'Université de Heidelberg, sous la direction de Johannes Kühn, sa thèse Kritik und Krise. Eine Untersuchung der politischen Funktion des dualisten Weltbildes im 18. Jahrhundert (Critique et crise. Recherche sur la fonction politique de l'image dualiste du monde au ), qui sera publiée en 1959 sous le titre Kritik und Krise. Eine Beitrag zur Pathogenese der bürgerlichen Welt (Critique et crise. Contribution à la pathogénèse du monde bourgeois) et qui lui permet une entrée remarquée dans le milieu scientifique ; elle sera rééditée neuf fois en allemand — un record pour un travail universitaire — et traduite en cinq langues.

Il est ensuite assistant (lecturer) à l'Université de Bristol de 1954 à 1956, puis pendant un an assistant au séminaire historique de l'Université de Heidelberg. De 1960 à 1965, il participe à l'Arbeitskreis für moderne Sozialgeschichte (Groupe de travail d'histoire sociale de la modernité) à Heidelberg, dont il deviendra président en 1986. En 1965, il passe son Habilitation (équivalent de l'habilitation à diriger des recherches en France, ou, à l'époque, du doctorat d'État), avec une étude intitulée Preußen zwischen Reform und Revolution. Allgemeines Landrecht, Verwaltung und soziale Bewegung von 1791 bis 1848 (La Prusse entre réforme et révolution. Droit du Land, administration et mouvement social de 1791 à 1848), publiée en 1967 et devenue un classique dans l'Université allemande.

En 1966, Koselleck devient professeur de science politique à la Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Parallèlement, il est membre du comité fondateur de l'Universität Bielefeld, à laquelle il contribuera à donner un caractère interdisciplinaire et critique. Après avoir été de 1968 à 1974 professeur ordinaire d'histoire moderne à l'Université de Heidelberg, il rejoint l'Université de Bielefeld, où il devient professeur, et à partir de 1988 professeur émérite, de théorie de l'histoire. Il prend la direction du Zentrum für inderdisziplinäre Forschung (Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire ou ZiF) et devient l'une des grandes figures de la jeune université, dont il contribue à établir la renommée dans le domaine de l'histoire et des sciences sociales avec l'« école de Bielefeld ».

En 1979, il publie Vergangene Zukunft (Le Futur passé).

À la même époque, Koselleck donne de nombreux cours en tant que professeur invité dans des universités et institutions de recherches, comme le Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (1987-1989), la New School for Social Research de l'Université de Chicago (1988-1990), l'Université Columbia (1992) ou le Collegium Budapest (1993).

Dans les années 1970 et 1980, Koselleck dirige avec Werner Conze et Otto Brunner, et seul après leur mort, le titanesque projet des Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe (Dictionnaire des concepts historiques fondamentaux), en neuf volumes, environ neuf mille pages et deux cent douze contributions de « Adel » (Noblesse) à « Zivilisation » (Civilisation), la plus longue (« Volk, Nation », Peuple, nation) faisant deux cent quatre-vingt-dix pages. L'ouvrage, devenu depuis une référence dans le milieu universitaire germanophone, expose l'histoire des concepts dans le langage politique et social allemand. Il n'a jamais été traduit en français. Michael Werner, en référence aux Lieux de mémoire (1984-1992) dirigés par Pierre Nora, parle de « véritable « lieu de mémoire » de l'historiographie allemande ».

Koselleck se refusait à être « classé » dans une branche particulière de la science historique : il engagea des coopérations transcendant différents domaines avec des personnalités comme Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricœur ou Hayden White, et mena une réflexion interdisciplinaire, par exemple sur l'iconographie politique du point de vue de l'histoire de l'art dans le cas du culte des morts.

Il meurt à Bielefeld le , à l'âge de quatre-vingt-deux ans.

Travaux
Koselleck a mis en évidence la crise conceptuelle qui frappe l'Europe entre 1750 et 1850,  () qui marque l'avènement de la modernité. Les concepts politiques et sociaux changent en effet de sens et acquièrent une dimension normative, dans le sens où ils cessent de ne faire que décrire les phénomènes sociaux pour également avoir vocation à les influencer ; ce pouvoir structurant leur permet de n'être plus seulement tournés vers le passé, mais aussi vers le futur. Selon Koselleck, le concept moderne même d'« histoire » date en Allemagne de la fin du  avec le passage du pluriel au singulier et la fusion des termes Historie et Geschichte, dont le dernier désigne depuis à la fois l'événement, son récit et son analyse.

Koselleck a été le principal initiateur de l'histoire des concepts (Begriffsgeschichte, l'expression vient de Hegel). Il ne conçoit pas ce champ comme une étude purement linguistique de termes détachés de leur contexte social, mais l'inscrit au contraire fortement dans l'histoire sociale, l'étude de la sémantique du discours politique et social devant être considéré comme un prérequis pour une vraie compréhension des événements historiques. Il s'agit d'

La méthode développée par Koselleck et ses collaborateurs, la sémantique historique (), s'est installée dans le milieu universitaire allemand et a par exemple mené à l'entreprise du Manuel des notions fondamentales politiques et sociales en France de 1680 à 1820.

D'une manière générale, Koselleck s'est attaché à développer la direction spirituelle () et philosophique de l'histoire sociale plutôt que la direction néomarxiste et statisticienne qui insiste sur le rôle des mécanismes économiques dans l'évolution des sociétés.

À la fin de sa carrière, l'intérêt croissant de Koselleck pour l'anthropologie le poussa à étudier les monuments aux morts et les cimetières militaires dans des ouvrages comme Der politische Totenkult. Kriegerdenkmäler in der Moderne (Le Culte des morts en politique. Les monuments aux morts à l'époque moderne, 1994) et Zur politischen Ikonologie des gewaltsamen Todes (Sur l'iconologie politique de la mort violente, 1998).

Reihnart Koselleck a reçu pour ses travaux de nombreuses distinctions :
 1974 : Prix Reuchlin de la ville de Pforzheim
 1989 : Docteur honoris causa de l'université d'Amsterdam
 1989 : Membre d'honneur (Ehrensenator) du Senat (sorte de conseil scientifique) de l'université de Bielefeld
 1993 : Médaille d'honneur de l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales, Paris
 1998 : Membre honoraire de l'Académie hongroise des sciences
 1999 : Prix Sigmund-Freud du livre scientifique
 2003 : Prix d'histoire de la ville de Münster
 2003 : Docteur honoris causa de l'université Paris VII

Réception française
Reinhart Koselleck est l'un des .

Sa réflexion entre histoire et temps influence par exemple les travaux de Paul Ricœur, qui en 1985 termine sa trilogie Temps et récit par une herméneutique de la conscience historique à l'aune des deux concepts « méta-historiques » mis en évidence par Koselleck : l'espace d'expérience et l'horizon d'attente. Plus récemment François Hartog est lui aussi influencé par les travaux de Koselleck avec son ouvrage Régimes d'historicité. Présentisme et expériences du temps (Le Seuil, 2002), ainsi que Patrick Savidan qui, dans son livre Voulons-nous vraiment l'égalité? (Albin Michel, 2015), en montre la pertinence pour penser les expériences contemporaines de la justice et de l'injustice sociales.

Reinhart Koselleck a acquis cette renommée dans l'Université française bien que seulement deux de ses livres et un recueil aient été publiés en France.

Deux de ses principaux ouvrages ont d'abord été traduits en français :
 en 1979, les Éditions de Minuit publient sa thèse Kritik und Krise, vingt ans après la parution en Allemagne et sous le titre Le Règne de la critique ;
 en 1990, les Éditions de l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales publient une traduction de Vergangene Zukunft intitulée Le Futur passé. Contribution à la sémantique des temps historiques.

En 1997, les Éditions de l'EHESS publient un recueil de textes de Koselleck édité par l'historien allemand Michael Werner. Il regroupe sept textes, dont certains inédits en allemand :

Het Hogeland


Christmas decorations are in place, lights are shining, music is playing, cards are being sent and received, Santa Claus is seemingly the favorite person of all, but quite fortunately nativity scenes are displayed at many churches, and pleasantly a few additional locales as well.
Truly is a gala time of year. Yet, most obvious and actually saddest of it all is that vast majority of people are only thinking about and doing shopping.
Selecting and buying something special for another and wrapping it up pretty is admirable. But, it's overboard. Christmas is so "commercial," surveys reveal many cannot explain the true meaning.
Then, how come Santa Claus gets more publicity? Pre-modern representations of the gift-giver from church history and folklore, notably St. Nicholas (known in Dutch as Sinterklaas), merged with the English character Father Christmas to create the character known to Americans and the rest of the English-speaking world as Santa Claus.
Gift-giving got out of proportion as the reason for the season. Yet, St. Nicolas is still recognized as the patron saint of children and honored with a Feast Day on December 6.
What about the nativity scene? It represents the Holy Family of Jesus, the Divine Son of God, his mother Mary and his foster-father Joseph. The babe in Bethlehem. He made everything.
A Feast of Holy Family is celebrated December 29, to recognize the Holy Family as the model for all Christian families.
Science cannot explain it. God created it all.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Wednesday backed a former mayor whose comments have been called xenophobic as his party's top candidate for regional elections in independence-minded Catalonia.
The prime minister said he was "proud" of the decision to nominate Xavier Garcia Albiol, a former basketball player and long-time member of the ruling conservative Popular Party, as its candidate in September's elections.
"Of all the candidates he is the one who best knows people's problems," he told a party meeting in Castelldefels in Catalonia, just hours after Albiol was officially named candidate.
Albiol, 47, served as mayor of Badalona, Catalonia's third-largest city, between 2011 and 2015.
His opponents and civil society groups have branded him xenophobic for his harsh line against immigrants.
In 2011 he campaigned for mayor with posters bearing the slogan "Cleaning up Badalona" and reportedly claimed it was a reference to municipal cleaning services, but critics said it evoked his previous comments about Romanians and gypsies, whom he has branded delinquents.
The campaign group SOS Racism branded him racist for his line on immigrants.
Roughly 13.5 percent of Badalona's population of 220,000 people are foreigners, mainly from Morocco, Pakistan and Latin America.
In an editorial, top-selling newspaper El Pais blasted the Popular Party for chosing an "extremist" as its top candidate for the wealthy northeastern region, calling it "very bad news".
An alliance of pro-separatist parties want the regional vote to serve as a proxy independence referendum by running on a joint ticket.
Albiol said the upcoming elections would be "the most important in history" during an interview with radio station Cadena Ser on Tuesday.
"Our project comes from the heart. It goes beyond politics. It is for all those who feel very Catalan but also very Spanish," he told reporters on Wednesday.
The Popular Party has just 2.4 percent of the regional vote, according to a Catalan government poll released on July 3rd.
But no party scored more than 14 percent and the local political landscape appears very fragmented, with no single party towering over the others.
The Opinion Studies Centre poll also found that 50 percent of eligible voters would vote against Catalonia becoming independent from Spain, while 42.9 percent are in favour.


The COBRa study, conducted as part of ESA´s SysNova technology assessment scheme, investigated an active debris removal concept relying on the exhaust plume of a monopropellant chemical propulsion system as a means to impart momentum and ultimately modify the orbit of a space debris object in a contactless manner. The concept was scheduled to be demonstrated in-orbit making use of the Mango spacecraft from the PRISMA mission and the decommissioned CNES satellite Picard of the IRIDES mission. An interaction of such kind had never been studied before in any detail beyond chemical contamination effects.
Recently, the possibility of using satellites at the end of their life for In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) of relevant debris removal concepts has been studied. Of particular interest is the ability of these spacecraft to perform close proximity operations combined with orbit and attitude modification between two co-flying satellites. The PRISMA mission, has successfully demonstrated high accuracy formation flying using the Mango and Tango satellites since its launch in 2010.
Following the nominal mission phase of PRISMA a further navigational expe riment was to be performed. For this the still operational Mango satellite would rendezvous with the non-cooperative and de-commissioned Picard satellite, allowing a detailed analysis of the optimal rendez-vous phase. COBRa would then attempt the controlled alteration of the Picard attitude by use of plume impingement. Specifically, the COBRa experiment was to be performed by pointing the thrusters of Mango towards Picard and conducting a small burn from a near-by spiral orbit. Optical observations by the visual camera on board Mango before and after the push would then enable on-ground evaluation of the change in the attitude dynamics of Picard.
Even though the IRIDES experiment and therefore also the COBRa In-Orbit demonstration could not be fully executed, due to a lack of propellant on Mango, it was possible to develop a technological framework for high-precision relative navigation control. In the context of evaluating the COBRa concept, mission analysis was conducted and essential vision-based navigation technology was consolidated. Generally, the experiment feasibility was demonstrated and critical areas were highlighted.

Shelter no more
Occupiers cope with homeless at Burnside
By Rebecca Ballhaus
City & State Editor
Emily Gilbert / Herald
Burnside Park, home to Occupy Providence, also draws Providence's homeless.
As the Occupy movement blankets the nation, its vague but wide-ranging message has appealed to thousands, drawing in participants of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. With its sprawling encampments, where members have been handing out both food and tents to anyone interested in spending the night, the movement has also appealed to a particularly disadvantaged portion of the 99 percent: the homeless.
But as the movement continues into its third month, encampments are making changes to deal with what is rapidly becoming a tragedy of the commons.
Of the Occupiers currently residing in Burnside Park in downtown Providence, an estimated 45 to 55 percent are homeless, media tent volunteer Rob Greyfox told The Herald in October. That percentage includes people living in communal "group homes" and those who have homes but come to the camp to eat, according to Occupier Michael McCarthy.
Those numbers also include homeless people who were living in the park prior to the Occupation. "The park's always been a large part of the homeless community," said John Joyce, co-director of the Rhode Island Homeless Advocacy Project. "This park has been occupied before you got Occupiers."
James and Willie Paycheck, Providence residents and brothers, set up camp in Burnside Park Oct. 15, the first night of the Occupation, having recently been evicted from their home. When Willie first arrived at the camp, he was "struggling," he told The Herald Oct. 20. The camp's residents placed someone outside his tent to check in on his health and well-being.
"Now that's what I call 'Occupy,'" he said.
The Paychecks, like many other homeless people residing in the park, said they were drawn to the protest by its political message rather than the availability of food and lodging. And other encampments that have set up in less public areas — places that did not house many, if any, homeless residents prior to the protest — have seen homeless people join the movement more for its message than for its resources.
Occupy Pittsburgh protesters set up camp in a park owned by BNY Mellon Bank, a "very visible, centrally located green space in downtown Pittsburgh," said Jeff Cech, a member of the protest in that city. The political goals of the Occupy movement attract the homeless population, he said.
"We're standing up for the people who lost their homes due to foreclosures," he said. "We're standing up for people who have been wronged by the corruption and greed in our banking system and in our economic system in general," he said.
James Holmes of New Orleans, La., said he does not consider himself an Occupy Providence member, but he sympathizes with the movement.
Holmes spends the night on a bench in Burnside Park when he visits Providence. Though he is not participating in the movement, he said, "If they're doing the work right, I'm all for it. We need help." But when asked if he had considered borrowing a tent from the Occupiers or visiting the food tent, Holmes was adamant: "I don't need it," he said. "When I want it, I go get it myself."
But this is not the case for all homeless people passing through the park. Until this week, a tent in the center of Burnside provided food to the park's residents, including those who weren't specifically part of the protest. The food tent ran mainly on donations from local restaurants and organizations. Occupiers dismantled the tent, along with media and information tents, this week to comply with the city's routine maintenance of the park's sprinkler system. Protesters will also have to move their individual tents to hard ground for several hours while city contractors complete the procedure.
But Occupiers do not plan to set up the food tent again after the project is finished. Not only is the tent not receiving as many donations as before, but food provisions have become more of a public service than intended, McCarthy said. Because of Burnside Park's proximity to Kennedy Plaza, bus users began taking advantage of the free food.
"People were going to show up expecting it," McCarthy said. "And they were going to either get violent or crawl into a tent."
"It's a natural progression — how to stay open and available to everyone without necessarily enabling negative or dangerous behaviors," said McCarthy, who added he does not know how the camp plans to operate in coming weeks. "We're going to see if we're able to provide for each other in simpler ways," he said. "That's going to be something they work on now."
Local organizations that work with the homeless have also expressed concern. "Homeless people staying in tents in Burnside Park is probably not the best thing," said Jim Ryczek, executive director of the Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless. "It's almost an enabling issue."
Occupiers have been very open to working with the coalition, Joyce said. In its current incarnation, the encampment is "almost a shelter," he said. "But they weren't prepared to be a shelter."
"You can't really tell people not to do what they shouldn't be doing, but I told the Occupation, 'Don't make it easy for people,'" he said. Now, Occupiers ask people requesting tents and food a series of questions before determining whether or not to offer their services. If they determine someone to be homeless, they call Joyce, who then attempts to connect that person with the services they require.
The homeless — many of whom are mentally ill — are "some of the people that the system has either failed or has not been able to pull into care," Ryczek said. "So having them stay off the grid, per se, is not a great thing for them — the system needs to do a better job of outreaching to them where they are."
Mental illness, coupled with the drug and alcohol problems that plague many homeless people, have also resulted in conflicts with other Occupiers, McCarthy said. At the beginning of the Occupation, "things had gotten better" in the park, he said. But as the food and lodging in Burnside have drawn people to the park in increasing numbers, more and more incidents have occurred where protesters have had to "put pressure on people not to do drugs or sell drugs in the park," he said, adding that there has been a rash of physical fights. "Working with those folks has been difficult," he said.

We're at the peak of summer, which means I've been living in my favorite lazy outfit: the summer dress! I mean, when it's pushing 90 degrees out, you don't have time to pick out and coordinate two or more pieces of clothing.
Unfortunately, it's hard enough to find a cute ethically made and sustainable dress, let alone one that fits within your budget. That's why I've taken it upon myself to spend hours online shopping in order to curate this list of sustainable and ethical dresses under $100! I know, really taking one for the team here.
Enjoy the fruits of my labor and shop my picks below!


This tour will take you to Bukit Lawang Gunung Leuser National park, where you will have a chance to hike some of the world's most beautiful rainforests ultimately leading to a viewing of one of Sumatra's most famous inhabitants, the Sumatran Orangutan.
Visit the Royal Palace of Sultan Deli, known as Maimoon Palace, built in 1888. See the grand mosque "Mesjid Raya", built in 1906 and the largest in town. We'll also visit Asam Kumbang Farm, where you will observe crocodiles of different sizes and ages. Browse for antiques at Kesawan Street in the old colonial part of the town. You will feel the Dutch colonial architectural touch in buildings like the post office and Medan City Hall.


I first heard about De Hoop Nature Reserve around ten years ago, when I was just starting out as a journalist and my first job was working as a travel trade writer that rather than travelling, wrote about where tour operators could send their clients to travel. As such, I wrote about a lot of things that I'm still yet to see, but luckily this weekend gave me the chance to finally cross De Hoop off the list!
De Hoop is an incredible reserve in that it offers more than just endless landscapes: it has its own protected stretch of coastline, a Ramsar-protected wetland, huge swathes of endangered fynbos plants, and accommodation housed in heritage buildings that were originally constructed before the turn of the century. It is one of the largest areas managed by Cape Nature, while the accommodation and activities are run privately through the De Hoop Collection (find out more about that here).
Sunrise blushes over the buildings of the De Hoop Collection.
Driving into De Hoop is an experience on its own. As you come over the initial crest after the gate, you look down over coastline and giant dunes on your left, across fynbos fields and onto the vlei and wetland area on your right. At this time of year (August), the fynbos is bright green and yellow with pops of purple and pink flowers all over the place. A welcoming party of about 20 ostriches was waiting for us, and stepping out of the vehicle, the whitewashed walls of the buildings signalled I was in for an incredible weekend out in the Western Cape's Overberg region.
The accommodation that De Hoop Collection offers ranges and can suit any budget from camping through to a romantic luxury stay. I was treated to a stay in one of the four Cloete Suites, which was absolutely spectacular. I did get the chance to look through most of the other accommodation types and can confidently say that they're all lovely, and much better fitted than what you'd expect for the cost. There are tons of self-catering options, and if you're not up to cooking, there's the options of dining out at the Fig Tree restaurant – wonderfully hearty meals and a top-notch wine selection.
This bed was every bit as comfortable as it looks! The original stone wall of the building can be seen through the clear panel on the right.
Sunset at De Hoop, and sunrise too actually, are absolutely incredible.
What I loved most about De Hoop was how close you feel to the outdoors. I haven't actually stayed in a reserve for a good while so it was great to have the feeling of being isolated, removed from my email and generally just enjoying nature. The reserve doesn't have any dangerous game, so it's safe to really walk around without any restrictions and take it all in. It's a favourite for hikers too because of the numerous trails that criss-cross the reserve.
About an hour's drive away from the accommodation is the start of the Vulture experience trail.
We did quite a few different activities while at De Hoop. My favourite though was the Vulture Experience. The steep hike to the edge of a rocky precipice sets you up with the perfect view over a colony of around 180 Cape Vultures at Potberg. The trail is guided and depending on the time of year, you leave to arrive just in time to see these enormous birds take flight and build up into the air in spirals before going in hunt of dinner.
It started with just one or two vultures at a time, but as the day got warmer, there were just more than we could count. They climb quickly and gracefully, before flying off in the direction of the horizon to begin their scavenger hunt.
With a wing span of around two metres, Cape Vultures slice through the air before making their way out of their protected colony.
While the hike to the vultures is relatively tough, it's also a pretty short journey of an hour, making it worth the climb. I regret not carrying a much bigger lens, but at the time I did say I was glad I hadn't tried to lug an enormous amount of gear up Potberg. If you're an avid photographer: TAKE THE GEAR!
One of the best parts about driving around the Overberg at this time of year, are the massive fields of canola flowers in bloom. They seem to just go on and on, but my favourite was the field right outside the gate of De Hoop.
Another highlight of my stay at De Hoop was our Interpretive Marine Walk, an amble over the rock pools and dunes at De Hoop at low tide. This is a great activity for kids too, and your guide will point out a huge variety of things to look at, relaying interesting information about each. The walk takes about 90 minutes and is followed by a dune climb, where we had a picnic breakfast waiting.
What was ultra special about this experience at this time of year? Well once we reached the crest of the dune, we were looking out over a protected bay where there were about 50 Southern Right Whales frolicking with their calves. I simply didn't have enough of a zoom lens to get a great picture, so instead, we just sat staring out to sea, catching fins and tails popping out of the calm waters.
Without doing any harm, our guide carefully extracted 2 sea anenomes for us to photograph, ever so slowly, the pair started to move their spines against her hand looking for home.
Looking out into the bay at low tide, you can spot all sorts of interesting marine wildlife pointed out by the guide.
As I mentioned earlier, this isn't a big game reserve, but instead offers other varieties of wild animals worth spending time looking out for. We headed off for sundowners and it almost seemed like a couple of bokkies nearby were posing for us in the sunlight.
One of a trio of bontebok showing off during the evening golden hour.
One of the final activities for our stay was an Eco Boat Trip across the vlei (or wetlands). This gave us a chance to spot some lesser flamingo, as well as pelicans. Firstly, penguins are more awkward than what I've been lead to believe, lots of limbs and scrambling to get into the air. Secondly, pelicans are absolutely enormous!
Accommodation at De Hoop books up way in advance, so I would highly recommend you plan your trip as early as you can. I would like to go back and experience the self-catering options in time, they're ideal for the way I travel and are comfortable, spacious and offer privacy for couples.
My stay with the De Hoop Collection was by invite, with all my posts though, editorial control remains with me.
Thank you! I'm super proud of them!
It's so incredible Craig! I'd recommend making a booking as soon as you're able, as De Hoop tends to sell out a year in advance!

The Egyptian government is currently in the midst of amending its constitution, with grave consequences for the short-lived political pluralism that blossomed in the wake of the 2011 revolution. The amendments, if passed, will allow President Abdel-Fattah El Sisi to pursue up to two consecutive six-year terms after his current term ends in 2022. In addition to extending Sisi's presidency to an effective lifetime, the amendments will also grant the executive authority over the judiciary and open the door to creating a totalitarian state. While these amendments fail to adhere to legal norms (as they breach Egypt's existing constitution and international legal obligations), they also have wider implications for Egyptian political parties and freedom of association.

Emoji Apps Are Getting Kicked Out Of The Apple App Store
Sarah Perez @sarahintampa / 10 years
Can't say it's a huge loss, but it looks like Apple is finally going to starting removing apps whose sole purpose is to offer emoji, the emoticon characters popular with the younger text messaging crowd. Some developers are reporting that their emoticon-enabling apps are now being kicked out of the App Store, with Apple citing native support for emoji as the reason for the app's removal.
One developer forwarded us the following email, which explains Apple's position on the matter:
Hello [redacted],
We are writing to let you know your app, [redacted], has been removed from the App Store because it is no longer needed to unlock Emoji.
Since iOS 6 now provides Emoji support to all users, your app is no longer in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines
2.12 Apps that are not very useful, are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected
If you have questions about the removal of your application, please contact App Review at appreview@apple.com. Please include the App ID and the name of your application in your email.
That's an interesting letter, considering that Apple actually introduced expanded native support for emoji in iOS 5, not iOS 6. The interpretation, perhaps, is that enough of Apple's install base has upgraded to a supported operating system that the impact these app removals will have on users is negligible. (On iOS 4.3 or earlier, emoji is only available on Japanese iPhone devices. It's a small subset of users.)
That being said, it's hard to tell if Apple is being choosy about which emoji-serving apps are getting the boot, because a quick App Store search for "emoji" currently returns over 1,000 results, both free and paid. It could be that the app removals just take time. The above developer's app is still available, for example. In addition, MacRumors discovered several other developers have recently tweeted about this, apparently having received similar notices from Apple. That means more emoji app removals could still be underway.

Description: Super minor update to previous HUD. Only changes were to fix the confusing error of having 11 ammo look like 0 ammo. Now it looks like you have between 11 and 19 (as it should). Also only made the ammo bar opaque when at zero, instead of between 0 and 10.
Description: Update to previous HUD. Some code cleanup and the inclusion of Freeze Tag support so that it doesnt show both CA and Non-CA HUD elements in new gametypes.
Description: Minimalist, mishmash of injx and Raz3r and my own stuff. Optional crosshair and Ammo Counter. Playing Clan Arena now removes the health/armor bars and changes the way the health value is displayed (size and color are altered as the digits count down to zero). Also includes the previous HUDs CA Surviving Player element as well.

Everyone loves a good old Christmas party game with the kids – it's what family Christmases are all about!
Whether you're hosting a Christmas party or just have a couple of bored kids on your hands during the school holidays, we've got 7 brilliant Christmas party games for you to try. And the best thing is, they're all really easy to set up!
A classic party game with a Christmas twist! Simply download our free printable girl or boy Elf, then print it out (A3 size will work best for this), stick it on a sheet of cardboard, cut out the hat and you're ready to go!
To play the game, hang your hatless Elf on the wall and stick some Blutac to the back of your elf hat.
Each player then takes a turn to stand blindfolded in front of the Elf. They spin round three times, then have to try to stick the hat on the Elf's head. The player who gets the hat closest to the Elf's head is the winner!
Download our girl Elf here and boy Elf here.
Another classic party game! Download our free printable Christmas Elf, print it out (again, A3 size will work best), then stick it on cardboard. Cut out the mouth, then prop your Elf up.
Players have to throw "snowballs" (ie cotton wool balls) into the Elf's mouth – the player who manages to get the most in the Elf's mouth is the winner!
Download our snowball toss Elf here.
This game is super easy to set up. All you need are six empty toilet roll tubes, some colouring pens and a tennis ball.
Draw a snowman on each of your toilet roll tubes, then arrange them in a triangle. Each player then takes a turn to try to bowl all the snowmen over with a tennis ball.
For this fun Christmas party game, you'll need 10 plastic cups, some Blutac, a marker pen, a table and some cotton wool balls.
Write the number 10 inside the first cup, the number 20 in the next two cups, 30 in the next three and 40 in the final four.
Arrange your cups in a triangle and stick them to the table with Blutac. Each player then takes turns to stand a set distance away from the cups and throw a "snowball" (cotton wool ball) into a cup. The player with the highest score is the winner!
Exactly the same as an Easter egg hunt, but with candy canes instead of Easter eggs!
Simply hide a whole load of candy canes around your house and set the kids away to find them.
*WARNING* Unless you can restrict your candy cane hunt to one room only, it might be best to leave this party game until AFTER Santa has been… You wouldn't want any littlies accidentally stumbling over any secret hiding places now, would you!
This Christmas party game is great fun, but make sure you've got plenty of toilet roll to spare!
Split your party into two or more teams. Each team has to nominate one player as their "snowman". The teams then race to see who can wrap their snowman up in toilet roll, scarf and hat the fastest!
The aim of this game is to see who can build the tallest freestanding tower of marshmallows.
Players are allowed to use either dried spaghetti or plastic straws to help construct their towers.
The winner gets to eat all their marshmallows!
As always, we absolutely LOVE hearing from you – so let us know what your favourite party game is in the comments below, or – better still – send us your pictures on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!
