Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #2
Bruce finds himself in Puritan times fighting a giant Lovecraftian monster with a sword. Which, right there... I mean, let's just stop and consider that sentence. That's awesome. Anyway, he's rescued and nursed back to health by a witch woman who, it turns out, called the monster forth in the first place. She's of the Bat-People, and has a necklace with Wonder Woman and Superman's symbols on it - probably derived from the symbols Bruce himself painted on the cave wall in these parts all those ages ago. "My devils are the old lords of the land and the sky," she tells him. "Gods of the Wheel of Time and the Never-Ending World. And all the spaces beyond." Uh oh, that doesn't sound good. Meanwhile, the Justice League jumps to just before the end of the universe in the hopes that they can look back on the universe's timeline and find where Batman has ended up. Another great, mind-blowing Grant Morrison idea. We get to see the origin of the painting of "Brother Mordecai," which, if I remember correctly, hangs in Wayne Manor in the present. Bruce's time-jumping seems to be linked to eclipses for some reason. And then the big revelation: Bruce has somehow made it to the end of time and taken the identity of the archivist there, all so he can steal the Justice League's time sphere and get back to his own time. He ignores Superman's desperate warnings: "He took your memories, relied on your survival instinct... you've been booby-trapped! Darkseid turned you into a doomsday weapon and aimed you directly at the 21st century!" Yeah, okay, that's awesome. And it even sort of makes sense - Darkseid didn't kill Bruce, he turned him into a failsafe world-destroyer, just in case his original plot failed. There's also a creepy time-looping curse: Bruce manages to slay the "dragon" using just a sword (because he's just that bad-ass), but he can't save his witch-woman. She dies cursing her executioner, who just happens to be Nathaniel Wayne. "My curse on you and all your kin! Until the end of time!" She's unwittingly cursing the man she was desperate for them to save: Bruce Wayne. Who now finds himself thrown across time again, right into the hands of the pirate Blackbeard. Awesome.
I truly love this series. It's classic Morrison: tons of crazy awesome ideas thrown at you all at once. He tells you just enough for you to work out what's going on, then rushes onward.
Incorruptible #6
I think this was probably the worst issue of this comic yet, and I think it has a lot to do with new artist Horacio Domingues. His work is just childish and cartoony, and the expressions on the characters' faces are exaggerated and overly emotional. It doesn't suit the material at all. All that being said, the writing here isn't too good, either. There's a lot of overwrought, melodramatic, and cliche dialog, especially during Jailbait's suicide attempt. That last scene is pretty over-the-top, too. Hopefully things will pick back up with the next issue.
Secret Avengers #1
Not content with starting just one, gigantic, 25-member Avengers team, Steve Rogers has also launched a smaller, secret Avengers team to handle black ops missions. Oddly it includes some of the same members as the larger team. Could they make this more confusing? Anyway, the secret team's first mission sees them intercepting an alien artifact that puts them on a trail that leads to Mars, where an even more dangerous, companion artifact is awaiting them. Both artifacts seem to have the power to turn former allies into enemies. The story is intriguing and fun, but the dialog and art are surprisingly clumsy. I expect better writing from Ed Brubaker, and better art from Mike Deodato. Valkyrie's and Black Widow's outfits cling to them in ridiculous ways in the opening fight sequence, and there's a panel near the beginning where Steve Rogers is supposed to be smiling casually that's just horrific - it looks like he's making some kind of hideous death grimace. On top of all that, the Secret Avengers team is mostly composed of characters I don't care that much about. Sure, Steve Rogers, Beast, and Nova are cool, but Moon Knight, Sharon Carter, Black Widow, Valkyrie, and War Machine are all pretty dull. I'll hold off judgment on the (redeemable) Ant Man, as I'm not too familiar with him. Anyway, I'm not crazy about this issue, but I might stick with the series for now and see where the story goes.
This is the last issue of this series! I didn't realize it was only going to be three issues long! Thankfully it's just the prelude to another three-issue miniseries, done by the same creative team, that continues the story, but in a different year: 1984. Hoo boy! It's nice to see Ben and Paige getting together, and it's cool how future-Reese convinces Ben he's telling the truth. It's also interesting that Ben can't see past his current happiness to what's really important, until that happiness is taken away. I feel like it's a little cheap to introduce Ben and Paige's relationship only to tear it apart in order to give Ben motivation to complete his mission, but... it's done relatively well, with some effective narration, and Paige did feel like a real person while she was around, so I'll allow it. I like the way the comic fills in gaps in the original story, showing us Reese volunteering for the mission to protect Sarah Connor. We even get to see John sending him back. But there's an extra and interesting new element added: the older, future Reese claims he woke up after the fight with the T-800 in the factory (which took place at the end of the first movie) and was then imprisoned and questioned by machines. How could that have happened? In the movie he seemed pretty clearly to have died. Is this a different timeline? Or when his body was taken away at the end of the movie, did someone intercept it and revive him? I'm interested to see how they'll explain this, and of course to see how they weave Ben's story into the story of the original movie.
Unfortunately, there is a rather large continuity error here. In the movie, Reese said the time travel equipment was destroyed as soon as he went through, but that doesn't happen here, and in fact no such plan is even mentioned; instead, after Reese is sent back, John just leaves the machine sitting there and Ben and future-Reese have no trouble sneaking in to use it again. Which doesn't even make sense. I mean, who'd leave a time machine just sitting around? It's a disappointing logic error in what's an otherwise strong story.
The cover of this comic is labeled "Siege: Epilogue," and indeed that's all this issue really is: an epilogue to Siege. There's a two-page spread that nicely summarizes the end of Siege using six panels, mostly primary colors, and a handful of short phrases. It's better than reading the real thing, actually! Then we get Balder brooding, and trying to give the throne back to Thor, who wisely refuses, so he can go on kicking ass as the Thor we know and love. There's also a subplot with this Kelda lady who I still can't quite figure out. Apparently she used to like some dumb-ass named Bill? And now they're separated forever? I don't really care. Anyway, Thor finally gets to have it out once and for all with his clone, and that's kind of fun. But really this issue is just cleaning up old plot lines so we can move on to new stuff in future issues, so it's kind of dull and disappointing.

Stamp honouring 'British Schindler' to be issued next year after calls from 100,000

Published: 5:09 PM August 24, 2015 Updated: 1:44 PM October 14, 2020

A special commemorative stamp honouring a former Hampstead resident who saved 669 children from the Nazis will be issued by Royal Mail after a campaign backed by more than 100,000 people.
Sir Nicholas Winton, dubbed 'the British Schindler', died last month aged 106 and will appear on a stamp to be issued next year.
Royal Mail announced the decision to honour Sir Nicholas today after an online petition calling for the stamp, which was launched by the Jewish News last month, attracted close to 106,000 signatures.
Among the signatories was Hampstead and Kilburn MP Tulip Siddiq, JW3 chief executive Raymond Simonson and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis.
Justin Cohen, news editor of the Jewish News, said: "Sir Nicholas shied away from the 'hero' label but we could think of no one more deserving of this rare honour.
"His inspirational story shows that one person truly can make a difference and we hope the stamp will bring his heroic efforts to the attention of even more people."
Following Sir Nicholas's death on July 1, Prime Minister David Cameron led tributes to the former stockbroker who famously saved the lives of hundreds of children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia at the outbreak of war.
As founder of the Czech Kindertransport operation, he organised eight trains to carry 669 children to London in 1939 and found them foster families, amid fears they would be sent to concentration camps – a fact he kept hidden from his family until 1988.
Royal Mail commissions 12 to 13 new stamps each year and considers suggestions from the public, as well as carrying out their own research, to create stamps that commemorate figures and dates deemed to be of national importance.
A Royal Mail spokesman said: "One of the purposes of Royal Mail stamps is to honour those who have made important contributions to the UK, and every year we consider hundreds of subjects for inclusion. It is clear that Sir Nicholas Winton is a worthy candidate.
"Now we have consulted with his family, we are delighted to confirm our intention to feature Sir Nicholas on a stamp as part of a commemorative set, subject to the appropriate approvals, in 2016.
"The details will be confirmed in due course."

M5D1: Working with Constraints: No unread replies. No replies. Name of Student Name of Institution M5D1: Working with Constraints: No unread replies. No replies. When there is a change in raw material(s), it becomes quite salient that there is a change(s) in the scope (s) of the project(s). Regardless of the assurance that the material(s) has no 'negative' effects, it is importance to acknowledge the management about this course of action. The case study at P2P, for instance, is simply an indication of a failed project manager whose change(s) in the project(s) scope(s) interfered with overall productivity and profitability. The situation would be best addressed by an individual(s) such as P2P's Prem Gupta, whose role(s) was to surprise the project's process. A change(s) in material would, for instance, lead to 1) a delay in the project completion 2) disorientation of the team members and 3) an overall change(s) in the project's direction (Pfeifer et al., 2015). If at all there was no hastened decision(s) to inform the supervisor, the project would incur losses similar to P2P's particularly due to incompetence from any other parties involved (Gray & Larson, 2014). Even if Prem Gupta handled the project during the last minute, Isaac-the project manager-had created a lot of negative change by altering the project's course of action. Making the decision, however, would also require inclusion of other team members to acquire Democratically-affiliated results. Single-handedly reporting to the project's supervisor would not have assisted in the outcome and results, whether positive or negative. Unfortunately, there is the need to delve into "off-gassing" whether it affects U.S. workers or not. It is apparent that since the manufacturing is in China, there is a possibility that workers in the U.S. will not be in despair. First of all, the issue(s) of material shortage(s) may force the U.S. to import material(s) from China. There is a great possibi...

Juice covenant getting more robust with new members
News article1 Nov 2017
SVZ and Firmenich join forces with the Sustainable Juice Covenant.
Since the launch of the Sustainable Juice Covenant in March this year, more partners have teamed up to increase the supply chain coverage in the juice industry. At the AIJN Juice Summit in Antwerp this month, the latest two, SVZ and Firmenich, committed themselves to the goal of 100% sustainable juice and puree by 2030.
SVZ is a producer and supplier for fruit and vegetable ingredients for leading food companies, and Firmenich is the world's largest flavor company. They are joining forces with leading European beverage and food companies to commit to creating 100% sustainable juice and puree by 2030.
Under the coordination of IDH, Firmenich, Döhler, FrieslandCampina Riedel, Refresco and Verbruggen Juice Trading Sustainable Products b.v., have agreed to target 100% verified sustainable sourcing for their juices within the next decade. With the support of AIJN, the European Fruit Juice Association, the coalition will work on the certification/verification of their supply chains, and jointly set up projects to address specific sustainability issues such as smallholder inclusion, working conditions, soil erosion and degradation, and climate resilience.
"Firmenich has a 122-year heritage of leading its business responsibly. That's why we are committed to running the most ethical, traceable and sustainable value chain," said Gilbert Ghostine, CEO Firmenich. "We are very proud to be the first in our industry to sign this covenant, underlining our commitment to advancing sustainability across our supply chain, while enhancing the livelihoods of the local farmers that produce citrus fruits."
"Consumers across Europe want sustainable juice, with transparency on where the fruit comes from and how juices are made," said Tony Bruggink, Program Director IDH and Chairman of the Sustainable Juice Covenant. "To make this happen sustainably, collective action is key. That's why we are proud to be working with front-running juice companies and flavour-houses."
Anouk ter Laak, CEO SVZ, comments: "We're very pleased to sign the covenant, as sustainability is an integral part of our activities, we believe it is absolutely key to the long-term strategy of our business. Our commitment to source 100% sustainable, strongly underlines SVZ role in the supply chain to ensure transparency for our customers and to support our growers in practicing sustainable agriculture. Our initiatives to date have proved successful, including farmer training program in Poland and sustainable water management projects in Spain and we will continue to drive sustainable supply chains in the future."
In 2015, 9.6 billion litres of fruit juice and nectar was consumed in the EU and 38.5 litres globally. The EU remains the largest juice-consuming region, followed by North America.
Next steps for the coalition are to put annual process monitoring in place, start pre-competitive projects in the field and to develop an activity plan for the first year. The partners are also seeking to inspire more liked-minded companies to join the covenant and work together towards a more sustainable supply chain. The covenant is open to all players in the supply chain.

Az Edda Művek 6. a magyar Edda Művek zenekar hatodik albuma, egyben negyedik stúdiólemeze. Ez az első nagylemez (ha a koncertalbumként megjelent Edda Művek 5.-öt is beleszámoljuk, akkor a második), melyen már az új felállás hallható. Legtöbb dala slágerré vált, leginkább a "Gyere őrült" és az "Éjjel érkezem" közismert.

Az együttes felállása eddigre többé-kevésbé stabilizálódott, a gitáros poszton Csillag Endre került véglegesítésre. Az ekkoriban betegeskedő Fortuna László dobos helyének betöltése egyelőre még bizonytalan volt, ezért a lemezen doboló Papp Tamás nem mint zenekari tag, hanem mint közreműködő került feltüntetésre. A lemezborító jellegzetes sárga-fekete színvilágú, mely az együttesre azóta is jellemző: egyik oldalán egy művészien stilizált bukósisak került, másik oldalára (de csak a bakelitváltozaton, a CD-kiadáson üres fekete lett a háttér) egy stilizált erényöv látható.

A lemez felvezetéseképpen ugyanabban az évben megjelent a "D. Nagy Lajos – Pataky Attila" című kislemez, melyben a két énekes duett formájában énekli el a "Gyere őrült" és a "Veled vagyok" című számokat.

A "Gyere őrült"-höz készült egy angol nyelvű változat is, "Mad Girl" címmel, amelyet csak egy 1986-os TV-műsorban mutattak be Zenei alapja teljesen megegyezik az albumverzióval, csak az éneksáv angol.

Számok listája

A szerzőknél ugyan nem került feltüntetésre, de az "Éhes asszony" című dal mind dallamában, mind felépítésében sokat merített a Whitesnake "She's A Woman" című számából.

Az együttes felállása
Csillag Endre – szólógitár
Gömöry Zsolt – billentyűs hangszerek
Mirkovics Gábor – basszusgitár
Pataky Attila – ének

Közreműködött:
Papp Tamás – dob
Felvinczy Attiia – koncertmenedzser
Kálmán Sándor – hangmérnök
Szigeti Ferenc – zenei rendező
Fujkin István – borítóterv
Sylvester János Nyomda – eredeti borító nyomdai munkálatai

Great time today speaking to high-school students at the @highschoolbusinessheroes competition at the DeGroote MBA school. It is truly remarkable to see students getting a head start on learning how to solve business problems!
My lesson today is about finding a way to relate to your audience. Sometimes it is about changing you presentation strategy. I had an opportunity to give the students some advice on how to succeed in case competitions. My presentation advice to relate to students: Think of a great business case like a successful internet meme (relatable, simple, understandable, shareable). Using concepts that people can relate to drives more value into presentation takeaways.

Você sabe o que é economia compartilhada ou inovação disruptiva? Parece complicado né. Mas não é não e você já deve ter ouvido falar. A economia compartilhada é uma espécie de tendência nos hábitos dos consumidores, de dividir o uso (ou a compra) de serviços e produtos, em uma espécie de consumo colaborativo. Ou seja, em alguns casos pode-se falar mesmo em um novo modelo de consumo.
Essa forma de compartilhamento de bens e serviços, como é o caso do sistema coletivo de bicicletas que existe em inúmeras cidades, é facilitada (ou potencializada) essencialmente por aplicativos da internet que possibilitam uma maior interação entre as pessoas e que inovam provocando uma profunda alteração de tecnologias. No nosso caso, a inovação disruptiva na internet tem causado uma importante alteração tecnológica em modelos de negócio. Temos então uma associação entre mudança de hábitos de consumo (modelo comportamental) com alterações oriundas da inovação tecnológica (modelo de negócios). A economia compartilhada funciona exatamente nessa nova plataforma de fazer negócios.
A colaboração em massa está mudando a forma como vivemos, desde a criação da Web até a Web 2.0.

Classic Hits Music Spotlight The 1980's
On this day in 1984 BBC bans the Frankie Goes To Hollywood song "Relax"
January 13, 2023 January 13, 2023 Pop Expresso 1 Comment 1980's, 1984, 80's, BBC, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Gay, Music, Pop, Relax
Despite all the controversy the song still got to No.1
"Relax"was the debut single by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, released in the United Kingdom by ZTT Records in 1983. The song was later included on their successful album "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" in 1984.
Although fairly inauspicious upon initial release, "Relax" finally reached number one on the UK singles chart on 22 January 1984, ultimately becoming one of the most controversial and most commercially successful records of the decade. The single eventually sold a reported 2 million copies in the UK alone, making it the seventh best-selling single in the UK Singles Chart's history. "Relax" would be the first song that emphasized the shock impact of Frankie members Holly Johnson's and Paul Rutherford's open homosexuality in the packaging and music videos. When first released in November 1983, the initial progress of "Relax" on the UK Top 75 was sluggish, but then on Thursday 5 January 1984, Frankie Goes to Hollywood performed "Relax" on the BBC's Top of the Pops and the song begun to escalate quickly in the chart. However, by January 11th, 1984, BBC's Radio 1 disc jockey Mike Read expressed on air his distaste for both the record's suggestive sleeve and its lyrics, which centered on the oft-repeated "Relax, don't do it/When you want to suck to it/Relax, don't do it/ When you want to come." He announced his refusal to play the record, not knowing that the BBC had just decided that the song was not to be played on the BBC anyway. In support of their disc jockey, BBC Radio banned the single from its shows on January 13th, 1984. The banned "Relax" rose to number 2 in the charts by 17 January, and hit the No.1 spot on 24 January. By this time, the BBC Radio ban had extended to Top of the Pops as well, which displayed a still picture of the group during its climactic No.1 announcement, before airing a performance by a non-Number One artist. The ban became an embarrassment for the BBC, especially given that UK commercial radio and television stations were still playing the song. Later in 1984 the ban was lifted and "Relax" featured on both the Christmas Day edition of Top of the Pops and Radio 1's rundown of the best-selling singles of the year. Despite all the controversy, the song won Best British Single at the 1985 Brit Awards and it remains today one of the 1980's absolute and most famous Pop classics.

'Cutthroat Island,' One Of The Biggest Flops Ever, Deserves To Be Rediscovered 25 Years Later
01/96. MATHEW MODINE AND GEENA DAVIS STAR IN THE NEW MGM RELEASE "CUTTHROAT ISLAND."
In a normal world, Wonder Woman 1984 would have opened theatrically worldwide this past June and once again debunked conventional wisdom about what kind of movies make money. Even after years of blockbusters like Twilight, Mamma Mia, Alice in Wonderland, The Hunger Games, Frozen, Lucy, The Force Awakens, Hidden Figures, Wonder Woman, Ocean's 8 and Captain Marvel, there still exists an implicit presumption that every big "female-led" movie is yet another zero-sum test for the box office bankability of movies for/from/featuring women. Wonder Woman 1984 will open theatrically and on HBO Max on Christmas Day, costing it any number of likely box office records.
In a skewed irony, today is the 25th anniversary of Cutthroat Island, which is "responsible" for much of that conventional wisdom. It grossed $10 million worldwide on a $100 million budget, becoming one of the biggest box office bombs (especially when adjusted for inflation) of all time. It's now streaming on Amazon Prime, and a recent rewatch confirms what I felt about the picture on December 22, 1995. It's no masterpiece or action classic, but it's a huge-scaled, impressively practical and unpretentious bit of over-the-top Hollywood junk food. The whole thing plays like a sloppy first draft for both Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and The Mummy.
Carolco Pictures was already on the edge of bankruptcy before this film opened to mostly empty theaters. For that matter, MGM, the film's distributor, was in the process of being sold (time is a flat circle) and thus failed to provide much of a marketing campaign. Ironically, Carolco went with this picture instead of the pricier (but likely more commercial) Crusade, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by Paul Verhoeven, only to see this film soar over-budget. The budget issues allegedly came about partially because director Renny Harlin was distracted by finding a male lead who would play second-fiddle to a female action hero.
Michael Douglas wanted equal time while Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Day-Lewis and pretty much every white male actor of that era allegedly said no. By the time Harlin could turn his attention to production design, he hated what he saw, thus necessitating a revamp of the sets in a brief time. Yes, the challenges of finding a male lead were in the news at the time, before Matthew Modine (a fine actor but not precisely a butts-in-the-seats draw) said yes. Comparatively, Chris Pine seems to relish playing second-fiddle in the films like Wonder Woman, A Wrinkle in Time and Into the Woods.
What stood out then and stands out now about Cutthroat Island is its total lack of pretension. Even with the A-level budget, it's an unapologetic B movie. It's noticeably less naval-gazing and ponderous than Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner's Waterworld, another insanely over-budget action fantasy from 1995 that stood out for its old-school "build the giant sets and do the ridiculous stunts" showmanship. Yes, there's too much slow-motion for many of these action beats. However, you can damn well see what's going on at all times. I liked the sheer scale of the thing and how it was just a goofy action spectacular that just happened to feature a female in the lead role.

Yes, there are a few too many "Hey, it's a woman doing the thing!" bits, but it's also lovely that Davis' Captain Morgan doesn't have to soften up or learn to be more like a lady to win the day. She's a scoundrel through and through, while Langella's Dawg Brown is worse and willing to team with the British government. Like the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, it makes no bones about who the real bad guys are. The film doesn't try to make any aggressive political points, even as it subtly argues for how class inequities create the perception of heroism and villainy.
Renny Harlin offers a fair share of hack-and-slash action. The first piece of the treasure map is tattooed on a man's (quickly removed) scalp. The movie isn't remotely as bloody and cruel as Die Hard 2 or Cliffhanger, but it's violent enough to make kids think they were getting away with something back when the PG-13 meant something. The third-act showdown is impressively staged and impressively long, with a healthy dose of sword fights, ship-to-ship combat and a role reversal whereby the woman has to rescue the dude-in-distress. That also applies to a second-act beat where Morgan is injured in battle, and the Modine's William Shaw has to fix her up.
Absent the expectations of its budget or the undue pressure put on the very idea of a female-led action flick, Cutthroat Island is good fun for the whole family (my kids, aged five to thirteen, enjoyed it too) and a relic from a time when movies like this weren't expected to start a franchise. However, it's understandable why it bombed back in the day. Geena Davis was/is a respected Oscar-winning actress, but she wasn't an "opener," while Modine certainly wasn't as big of a draw as any number of the actors who turned the role down. Would Michael Douglas, in the love interest/co-star role, made a difference?
Maybe, and it's not like Douglas wasn't making a mini-career out of being upstaged by women (Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Disclosure) at the time. Nonetheless, pirate movies were considered box office poison right until critics got their first look at Curse of the Black Pearl 7.5-years later. Mostly negative reviews (Ebert was an exception) didn't help, nor did an unusually crowded Christmas season. In terms of competition, it went up against (deep breath) Toy Story, Jumanji, Grumpier Old Men, Heat, Father of the Bride part II, Sabrina, Sudden Death, Tom & Huck, Dracula Dead and Loving It and Nixon. It grossed just $2.3 million over the Fri-Sun frame.
You can trace its failure to the whole "women can't open big action movies" mentality. But here's the rub: The number one movie that Christmas was Forrest Whitaker's adaptation of Terry McMillan's Waiting to Exhale, which earned $14.13 million for an eventual $67 million domestic cume. That romantic melodrama starred Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon and was precisely the kind of film that "surprises" the pundits when it over-performs theatrically. While Cutthroat Island put a considerable dent in the notion of women headlining action movies, it's not like the success of Waiting to Exhale led to a slew of like-minded (and demographically-targeted) flicks. Conventional wisdom always wins.
Cutthroat Island is one of a handful of "big" female-led offerings over the last 25 years (see also: Charlize Theron's Aeon Flux) that failed for understandable reasons but were nonetheless used to designate an entire gender as box office poison no matter the many exceptions to the rule. Wonder Woman 1984 was supposed to the final word on this, a female-led action spectacular that was EXPECTED to be the biggest movie of the year (at least domestically). Patty Jenkins' superhero sequel's complicated and compromised release is a grim irony considering how much conventional wisdom Wonder Woman had to debunk. Cutthroat Island walked so Wonder Woman could run.

Exocortex
An exocortex is an external information processing system that augments the brain's biological high-level cognitive processes.
An individual's exocortex would be comprised of external memory modules, processors, IO devices and software systems that would interact with, and augment, a person's biological brain. Typically this interaction is described as being conducted through a direct brain-computer interface, making these extensions functionally part of the individual's mind.
Individuals with significant exocortices can be classified as transhuman beings.
The magazine Living Digital gave this description of the concept: "While [the traditional concept of a cyborg has included artificial mechanical limbs embedded chips and devices, another interesting concept is the "exocortex", which is a brain-computer interface. In theory, the exocortex would be a computer-like processing system that would co-exist with and enhance the power of the human brain. Neuromancer is a book that has talked about such a scenario." [http://livingdigitalindia.ciol.com/content/Feature/2006/106032004.asp]
The noun exocortex is composed of two morphemes of latin origin: the prefix exo- — meaning external or outside — and the root noun cortex — originally meaning bark, but in context of the neuroscience refers to the outer bark-like layer of the brain that is the site of most sophisticated cognitive information processing. Thus based on its component morphology, the term exocortex refers to a region external to the brain's cortex.
Furthermore, the term exocortex is an allusion to the term neocortex, the neuroanatomical region that many believe is responsible for the highest human cognitive abilities including conscious thought, spatial reasoning, and sensory perception. The neocortex, literally the "new cortex", is the most recent region of the cortex to develop according to evolutionary neuroscientists. Through this allusion, the term exocortex invokes a similar association with high-level human or even supra-human cognitive processing capabilities.
pecific applications
In 1981 Steve Mann designed and built the first general purpose wearable computer. Later on he became one of the early pioneers in using wearable computers for augmented and computer-mediated reality. Even if he doesn't call it that, his personal wearable computer is obviously an exocortex. Running applications like the [http://www.remem.org/ remembrance agent] on his wearable computer enhances his natural mental capabilities.
Xybernaut builds general purpose wearable computers, mainly for the service industry.
Intellectual background
The concept of an exocortex has intellectual roots both in the fields of computer science and evolutionary psychology.
Computer science roots
Within computer science, the seeds were planted by the DARPA associated researcher J.C.R. Licklider. Within his speculative 1960 paper "Man-Computer Symbiosis", Licklider outlined his vision that humans and the new technology of computers, if tightly-coupled together, would prove to complement each others strengths to such a degree that many of the pure artificial intelligence systems envisioned at the time by optimistic researchers would prove unnecessary:
"Man-computer symbiosis is a subclass of man-machine systems. There are many man-machine systems. At present, however, there are no man-computer symbioses. The purposes of this paper are to present the concept and, hopefully, to foster the development of man-computer symbiosis by analyzing some problems of interaction between men and computing machines, calling attention to applicable principles of man-machine engineering, and pointing out a few questions to which research answers are needed. The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and that the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today."
: — "Man-Computer Symbiosis", J.C.R. Licklider, March 1960.
A DARPA contemporary of Licklider, Douglas Engelbart, was thinking along similar lines in the field of computer science. In 1962, Engelbart authored " [http://www.bootstrap.org/augdocs/friedewald030402/augmentinghumanintellect/ahi62index.html Augmenting Human Intellect] " in which he details how to augment human intellectual effectiveness by exploiting the technology of the then emerging computer:
"This is an initial summary report of a project taking a new and systematic approach to improving the intellectual effectiveness of the individual human being. A detailed conceptual framework explores the nature of the system composed of the individual and the tools, concepts, and methods that match his basic capabilities to his problems. One of the tools that shows the greatest immediate promise is the computer, when it can be harnessed for direct on-line assistance, integrated with new concepts and methods."
: — " [http://www.bootstrap.org/augdocs/friedewald030402/augmentinghumanintellect/ahi62index.html Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework] ", Douglas Engelbart, October 1962.
From this basis, the concept of an exocortex, the direct coupling of the human mind with computers to leverage their respective complementary strengths, can be viewed as a result of the ever increasing symbiotic coupling between human and computers.
Psychology roots
The exocortex concept also has roots in evolutionary psychology as a result of Merlin Donald of Queen's University. Donald, in the 1990 book "Origins of the Modern Mind" as well as later papers, proposed an evolutionary model of the mind, from a functionary perspective, from its origins in prehistoric apes to the modern human being. Donald focuses significant attention on the use that modern humans make of external symbolic storage and manipulation systems -- the range of technologies from cuneiforms, hieroglyphics, and ideograms to alphabetic languages, mathematics and now computers. From Donald's perspective, these external symbolic systems have allowed for the functional reorganization of the human mind in how it deals with the world.
"The externalization of memory [via the use of external symbolic storage systems] has altered the actual memory architecture within which humans think, which is changing the role of biological memory, the way in which the human brain deploys its resources, and the form of modern culture."
: — "Precis of Origins of the modern mind", Merlin Donald, 1996.
Thus to Donald, the human mind has long been a hybrid struture built from the vestiges of earlier biological stages and combined with our new external symbolic systems. The development of an exocortex, which could result in significant functional reallocation, again fits well within this long established trend.
Current applicability
Cognitive science origin
In November 1998 the specific term exocortex was coined by researcher [http://www.exocortex.org/ben Ben Houston] . Houston coined the term to refer concisely to tightly-coupled cognition-level brain-computer interface technologies in the spirit of Licklider's and Engelbart's original visions.
"exocortex "(eks'o kor'teks)" n. "Latin" -- an organ that resides outside of the brain that aids in high level thinking. .... This will not be a prominent term until prefrontal cortex neural implants become widespread." (emphasis in original)
: — early exocortex definition, Ben Houston, May 2000 [http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=457654] .
Use in science fiction
Speculative devices which could have otherwise been labeled as exocortices were described in some areas of 1980 and 1990 hard science fiction. One prominent example would be William Ford Gibson's novel "Neuromancer". More recently, Vernor Vinge, in "A Fire Upon the Deep" and several short stories, described the functional effects of what are essentially several kinds of exocortices - both those composed of computational elements, and those enabled by high-bandwidth communication between groups of beings. Peter F. Hamilton's "Night's Dawn trilogy" also describes in detail similar technological beings.
Charles Stross, the Hugo Award-nominated hard science fiction writer, has led the adoption of the term exocortex within science fiction circles. Beginning in 2004, Stross made use of the term in " [http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0409/elector.shtml Elector] ", a short story published in the September issue of Asimov's Science Fiction. Stross made more extensive uses the term exocortex and its derivatives in " [http://www.accelerando.org Accelerando] ", his 2005 novel.
While Stross himself does not provide an explicit definition of the term, a few passages indicate his meaning:
"About ten billion humans are alive in the solar system, each mind surrounded by an exocortex of distributed agents, threads of personality spun right out of their heads to run on the clouds of utility fog – infinitely flexible computing resources as thin as aerogel – in which they live." (emphasis added)
: — "Accelerando", Charles Stross, 2005.
"Sometimes he isn't certain he's still human; too many threads of his consciousness seem to live outside his head, reporting back whenever they find something interesting. .... And it's too early for anyone out there to be trying to hack exocortices... isn't it? Right now, the external threads of his consciousness are telling him that they like Annette...." (emphasis added)
The Wikibooks provides this explanation:
"An EXOcortex can best be described as the portion of a trans- or posthuman entity's brain (or cortex) which exists outside of that entity's primary computing structure, usually the brain inhabiting a person's 'meatbody.' For example, a person's exocortex could very well be composed of all the external memory modules, processor, and devices that the person's biological brain interacts with on a realtime basis, thereby in effect making those external devices a functional part of the individual's 'mind.'" (emphasis in original)
: — "Accelerando Technical Companion", Wikibooks.
Popular usage
While initial recognition of the exocortex concept was nonexistent, this has changed as a result of Charles Stross's recent publications and the growing awareness of brain-computer interfacing. The term and concept of an exocortex has both been applied (ie. [http://www.decafbad.com/blog/2005/07/05/exocortex_stroke "Suffered a Stroke in my Exocortex"] ) and noted as a novel interesting word (ie. [http://www.falsepositives.com/bs/2005/07/found-words-exocortex.html "Found Words: Exocortex"] ) by various bloggers. Here are some additional examples of proper contextual usage: [http://www.mail-archive.com/everything-list@eskimo.com/msg07350.html] , [http://swhack.com/logs/2005-06-22] , and [http://www.decafbad.com/blog/2005/06/23/quick_mind_interface_thoughts] . The concept has been described in the [http://livingdigitalindia.ciol.com/content/Feature/2006/106032004.asp March 2006 issue of Living Digital] . James Hughen wrote in an essay entitled " [http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/hughes20061116/ What comes after humans?] " that appeared in the the Nov 16, 2006 issue of the New Scientist:
To remain the web's weavers and not its ensnared victims, we must merge with our electronic "exocortex", wiring greater memory, thought processing and communication abilities directly into our brains.
If one widens the definition of an exocortex, one can see that computational elements are already used as supporting elements of biological brains, and growing dependence on parts of the Internet that serve cognitive functions has brought what could be considered a proto-exocortex into existence. Wikipedia itself is an example, as technological interfaces enable inter-brain co-operation on high-level cognitive tasks. The fulfillment of the initial vision of Licklider and Engelbart suggests that continued development along this path is likely.
Currently, true exocortices remain speculative. The main issue is that the required underlying technology is yet to be produced by the scientific research fields of (1) cognitive neuroscience, (2) computational neuroscience and (3) neural engineering. Once exocortices become technically feasible and proven safe, some societial resistance may be encountered if establishing the brain-computer interface requires procedures that are more than minimally invasive.

Home Features Compass' 13th Annual Stonewall Ball
Compass' 13th Annual Stonewall Ball
Mike Halterman
The Stonewall Ball, an event organized by Compass Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Palm Beach County, returns for a thirteenth year. The Stonewall Ball brings voters together with politicians and various dignitaries from across Palm Beach County, South Florida and the Treasure Coast. On average, over 800 people attend the Stonewall Ball every year, making it one of Compass's flagship events. This year's event will be held on Saturday, June 28; doors open to the general public starting at 9 p.m. at the Harriet Himmel Theater at CityPlace (700 S. Rosemary Ave., West Palm Beach).
The Stonewall Ball started in 2002 as an outreach event organized by Compass. Compass itself is a non-profit organization that does not endorse any specific candidate or party, but one of its aims is to engage the community in civic-minded conversation, and another aim is to bring community leaders together with voters so these leaders can hear about the lives and concerns of their constituents. This year is special, as the LGBT community celebrates the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, and not only does Compass take this opportunity to recognize the work activists and public servants have done to further equality in this country, they also look at the landscape of Palm Beach County and how it has changed since 1969. This year's Stonewall Ball will be one of the more special and retrospective ceremonies.
In addition to the party itself, there will also be a silent auction and an awards ceremony. The proceeds raised by the silent auction benefit Compass and the wide range of services they offer to the community, including HIV prevention, case management, and social and support groups for youth and adults. If you are interested in donating to Compass or donating an item for the silent auction, please access and fill out the auction donation request form, which can be downloaded and printed by clicking the link "Donate to the Silent Auction" on the Stonewall Ball page, which is at compassglcc.com/swb.html. If you have any questions about donating items to the silent auction, you can call Will Castano at (561) 533-9699.
Two main awards are given out at the Stonewall Ball each year. First, there is the Compass Leadership Award. This award is given to a public official, whether he or she is appointed or elected, who has "demonstrated a commitment to honoring and forwarding social justice initiatives that are inclusive of sexual orientation and gender identity." Past recipients of this award have gone on to become county commissioners, mayors, and even United States Representatives sitting in Congress, representing the Sunshine State. The second award is the Michael Brown Faces of the Community Award, and this honor is given to a community member who has "demonstrated notable efforts toward promoting pride and a connectivity within our diverse community." This award is considered to be one of the highest honors an LGBT rights activist in Palm Beach County can receive.
Compass is very excited about this year's celebrations. "One of the biggest things we're excited about this year is that we're coming off our biggest attended PrideFest [of Lake Worth and the Palm Beaches]. This year we had over 18,000 people and there's just been so much momentum as we roll toward this event because so many of our recent events have been well-attended," said Jimmy Zoellner, Development Director for Compass. "There's also a lot of buzz because it's a midterm election year, so there's talk of a lot more elected officials and people running for office who might be attending."
When asked about the venue, Zoellner said, "The Harriet Himmel Theater is a really beautiful spot for a party. We work with an internationally-known designer, Bruce Sutka, and he always comes out with an amazing design for the space. It's neat and spectacular to see when it's all lit up and decorated."
Interested in attending the Stonewall Ball this year? You can buy tickets online at the Stonewall Ball page (compassglcc.com/swb.html) or by telephone at (561) 533-9699. Tickets cost $30 in advance, $40 at the door and $60 for reception to the main event plus the VIP reception. The VIP reception will be held at the Harriet Himmel Theater at CityPlace an hour before the Stonewall Ball starts. The dress code for the VIP and main events is as follows: "Palm Beach casual, cocktail and costumed attire. Black and white is encouraged."
Compass has served the LGBT population of Palm Beach County since 1988. For more information about Compass, the Stonewall Ball, and other events and services, visit compassglcc.com.

Indian Can Apply For Passport – Saudi Arabia
Posted on May 4, 2020 May 4, 2020 Author rizuz Comment(0)
The Saudi authorities have allowed partial relaxation in curfew but denied permission to open the Indian Passport and Visa Application Centers run by VFS Global in various cities across the Kingdom. Hence the Indian Passport and Visa Application Centers will remain closed for now.
In order to serve the citizens who are in urgent need of passport or other passport-related services, the Indian Embassy in Riyadh will be accepting applications directly from 5 May 2020. To avoid crowding at all times and to follow the social distancing, certain measures have been taken for the health and safety of the applicants and the staff. All applicants may accordingly note the following:
1 — Prior appointment for submission of application for passport and other passport-related services is mandatory. Applicants without confirmed appointment shall not be entertained.
2 — The appointment can be sought through call center (Tel No. 920006139) during 10 am to 4 pm from Sunday to Thursday or by email info.inriyadh@vfshelpline.com . The call center will start functioning from 4 May, 2020.
3 — Nobody except the applicant shall be allowed. Hence only the applicant with confirmed appointment should visit the Embassy at designated time as given in the appointment. The timing for application submission and collection in the Embassy is 10 am to 2 pm from Sunday to Thursday.
4 — No applicant without a mask will be allowed.
5 — Applications for re-issue of passports which have expired or due to expire before 30 June shall be given priority in appointments.
6 — For applicants not falling under the above criteria may write to Embassy at cons.riyadh@mea.gov.in explaining the urgency along with the required documents. They will be considered on case to case basis.

Gov't to take 10% of paid ads in ABS-CBN's temporary franchise
By Jasmine C.
ABS-CBN's temporary franchise to paid 10% of its ads to the Govt
METRO MANILA – The House of Representatives bill granting ABS-CBN a temporary franchise would require the media titan to cough up 10% of its paid advertisements to the government.
In Section 4 on the Responsibility to the Public of House Bill (HB) No. 6732, which was signed by House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and seven other members of the House earlier last week, will allow ABS CBN to operate until Oct. 31 granted the network will dedicate "public service time" to allow the government to relay "important public issues," especially in times of calamities.
The house bill also added that this "shall be equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the paid commercials or advertisements which shall be allocated based on [the] need to the executive, legislative, judiciary, constitutional commissions and international humanitarian organization duly recognized by statutes."
Rival networks GMA and TV5 under Republic Act (RA) No. 10925 and under RA No. 11320 were also mandated to give 10% of their paid commercials to the government.
The bill penned by Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and 7 other House leaders will also authorized the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to increase the public service time in cases of emergencies or calamities. Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque when asked regarding the issue, said that the president will remain "completely neutral" on ABS CBN's renewal and will let the congress do its job under their jurisdiction.

Gov. Cuomo brutally mocked by columnist for accepting Emmy award: 'He was fantastic on television'
Arroyo: Andrew Cuomo gets star treatment despite his COVID failures
Fox News contributor reacts to celebrities praising New York governor over Emmy win on 'The Ingraham Angle'
The Federalist's David Marcus blasted New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who received the Founders Award "in recognition of his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world" at Monday's International Emmy Awards ceremony.
Cuomo receiving the award was widely panned because of his controversial nursing home policy that has been linked to the deaths of thousands of elderly residents. Marcus, however, mocked the situation with a sarcastic column headlined, "Andrew Cuomo Absolutely Deserves An Emmy Award," that declared he "is not a competent governor of New York, but he does play one on TV."
CUOMO ACCEPTS EMMY FOR CORONAVIRUS BRIEFINGS AS CRITICS BLAST NURSING HOME POLICY
Marcus noted that the award was for Cuomo's daily press conferences at the beginning of the pandemic, when he gained national attention for explaining how New York was responding to coronavirus.
"What was not mentioned, either in the wording of the award or in the video montage of old New York celebrities congratulating him, was that his response in New York was not only disjointed and shambolic, that the state not only has the highest number of COVID deaths in the country, that he has not only put needless and dangerous doubt on new vaccines, and that he also personally decided to put COVID patients in nursing homes, killing many in the process," Marcus wrote. "But you see, none of that matters to the Emmy awards, because none of that happened on the television."
Marcus noted that "these disastrous mistakes by Cuomo did in fact happen, in the real world, that of flesh of blood and dying, but on television, none of these things were spoken of by anchors smitten with his bold yet calm leadership" in the face of crisis. Cuomo was billed as the opposite of President Trump and the mainstream media ate it up, giving him a pass on a variety of issues in the process.
GOV. ANDREW CUOMO TO RECEIVE EMMY AWARD FOR HIS 'LEADERSHIP' DURING THE PANDEMIC, TWITTER GOES NUTS
"The reason Cuomo so dearly deserved his winged Emmy statue is precisely because despite his failings of leadership, he was fantastic on television," Marcus wrote. "It is all a bit strange, isn't it? Andrew Cuomo is America's best governor on television and its worst in real life."
Marcus ended his takedown by suggesting the people who produce TV often don't care about the truth, and focus instead on making a compelling product regardless of facts.

"So as you huddle over your giant bowl of mashed potatoes by yourself this Thanksgiving, governor's orders, remember to be thankful for Andrew Cuomo and all he has done for television," Marcus wrote.

STINSON: Vasek Pospisil is Postmedia's Male Athlete of the Year
Vasek Pospisil hits to Karen Khachanov of Russia during U.S. Open tennis action at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., Aug. 27, 2019. Danielle Parhizkaran / USA TODAY Sports
Pospisil says he remembers being in the heat of the match, and looking over at his player's box, "And I was, like, 'wow, I'm fine.' You know, U.S. Open, it's pretty humid, and I have a history of having issues there, but there I was, post-surgery, and having been off the tour for eight months, and then coming back and beating a top-10 player in a five setter at the U.S. Open, was definitely unexpected."
Whoops, spoiler alert. Pospisil won the match, as he points out. It was the first time he had ever beaten a top-10 player at a Grand Slam, and it was on the very short list of biggest wins of his career. And it came just a few months after he wondered if he would ever be able to play top-level tennis again. Not long after that, Pospisil, now ranked 150th in the world, joined Canada's Davis Cup squad for the competition's final rounds in Madrid. Pressed into service with Felix Auger-Aliassime recovering from an injury, all Pospisil did was win three straight matches against players 12th, 36th and 48th in the world, as Canada posted upset wins over Italy, the United States, and Australia. He finally lost a match to Russia's Andrey Rublev in the semis, but along with partner Denis Shapovalov won a third-set tiebreaker in doubles to give Canada a historic first berth in the finals. Pospisil would remain on the sidelines for the resulting loss to a powerhouse Spain team playing on its home court, but it had been a wild ride nonetheless.
"I'm very optimistic and ambitious, but I'm also realistic," he says. "And the reality was that I had no idea what would happen. I've never had surgery before so I had no idea how my body was going to react. There's a history of athletes having surgeries and then coming back and never quite, you know, hitting that peak of their performance that they had achieved before, so I definitely had the doubts."
Those doubts didn't last long. The upset win in New York, and then two Challenger tournament wins, effectively the minor leagues of the ATP, and Pospisil was rolling into the Davis Cup in November, even though he wasn't sure what kind of role he would play.

"It was extremely special to have it become a reality, especially after the surgery and after the last two to three years haven't been the best in terms of consistency on the tour," he says. And then he was out there in Madrid, in the red and white. And he was winning. "It was kind of like the perfect everything," Pospisil says. "The stars kind of aligned. And, yeah, I was just kind of going with the wave."
