Several blasts were reported from different parts of Afghanistan on Saturday, killing at least 1 person and wounding 47, as Afghans voted in the long-awaited parliamentary elections.
Blasts were reported from Kabul and the provinces of Kapisa and Logar (east), and Ghazni (south).
The victims were transported to a hospital run by Italian non-profit Emergency in the Afghan capital, the organization's programme coordinator Dejan Panic told Efe news.
"So far we have received 48 victims, among them 33 were admitted here in the hospital and 14 were treated as outpatients, one was brought dead," said Panic.
Kabul police spokesperson Basir Mujahid said a "few small explosions, mainly IEDs" had occurred in Kabul city, but he could not confirm the casualties.
The Afghan government deployed 70,000 troops — an increase of 16,000 from the figure announced previously — to boost security during the electoral process, Interior Ministry spokesperson Najib Danish said at a press conference.
He added that 4,900 polling centres had opened in 32 out of the 34 provinces. The voting was to begin at 7 a.m. across the country, but in some polling stations it started at around 9 a.m. and in some even later.
In some of the polling stations biometric devices were malfunctioning, while in others election material, including ballots, did not arrive on time.
Elections were delayed in the Ghazni province owing to ethnic tensions and security concerns, while in Kandahar it was pushed back by a week after a brazen attack by the Taliban on Thursday during a high-level security meeting that killed and injured top officials.
The Election Commission said it will continue till Sunday in centres which were unable to open on Saturday.
Only about 5,000 polling stations of the initially planned 7,000 are operational because of security concerns.
"Holding of this election is the success of the constitution, success of the people and the democracy," President Ashraf Ghani had said in an address to the nation even as the Taliban warned again on Saturday that they would target all polling booths and warned people against voting.
"Enemy's polling stations all over the country are under attack by Mujahideens, countrymen must refrain from taking part in this fake process, to save their lives and not to become a tool for the implementation of the evil plans of the enemy," said Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid in a statement.


As the Braves head into spring training, we thought it would be interesting to put together a list of how the different projection systems view Braves hitters for 2017. We have provided a link to a page that will be updated as more projection services are released or updated throughout spring training. The plan is to add a pitcher version of this when more projection services are released.

Q: How to filter a Lua array inplace? How to filter a Lua array inplace?
For example, having an array of  { 1, 5, 7 } and a function function(elem) return elem > 1 end, the inplace filtering function should change the array to { 5, 7 }. It is also desired not to break ipairs iteration on the array, so the array should still start with index 1.
By "array" I mean the part of a Lua table that starts with key 1 and goes through consecutive integer keys until it finds a nil. The same thing you iterate with ipairs.

A: The following function solves the problem:
function filter_inplace(arr, func)
    local new_index = 1
    local size_orig = #arr
    for old_index, v in ipairs(arr) do
        if func(v, old_index) then
            arr[new_index] = v
            new_index = new_index + 1
        end
    end
    for i = new_index, size_orig do arr[i] = nil end
end

A: Since you're changing the indexes while iterating, I'd use a while loop.
function filterInplace(t, func)
    local i = 1
    while (i <= #t) do
        if func(t[i]) then
            -- value passes test
            i = i + 1
        else
            table.remove(t, i)
        end
    end
end

Any organization who wishes to optimize their business technology would benefit from IT service management software.
IT Service Management Software is also commonly known as information technology service management or ITSM. It is software that allows companies to manage service delivery to its customers and staff include hardware and software maintenance, order management, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and other routine operations.
Organizations need software as a reliable foundation for their ITSM activities. Without ITSM software the data for processing, evaluating and reporting would be inaccurate or unavailable.
Problem Management: The root causes of any issues and what can you do to prevent them from arising again in the future?
Incident Management: How will you efficiently deal with issues that might arise with the IT services?
Asset Management: Establish and manage information about your IT infrastructure which includes software, hardware, skills, staff, and everything needed to maintain and deliver IT services.
Change Management: Assess and monitor the changes that are significant to the delivery of IT and business improvements.
Release Management: How will you put those changes in effect?
The core processes of IT services involve a great deal of data that requires recording and categorization. ITSM software can facilitate these important data captures and facilitates categorization and reporting.
While monitoring tools can automatically collect service management data, most information is contained in service desk tickets from service desk staff or other end users directly entering issues into the ITSM software.
Purchasing an all-in-one solution typically provides more benefit than multiple, stand-alone products to handle disparate processes; i.e. help desk software, project management software, customer portal, asset manager, resource manager.
A single, all-in-one solution has built-in efficiencies, related data and reporting should be easier.
TeamHeadquarters, from Entry Software, helps you manage all work in a unified simple-to-use system. It includes help desk, project management, resource management, scheduling, and asset management.


If you've been tuned into TV news the past few days, you've probably heard "climate change could strip away 10 percent" of U.S economic growth by 2100. What you likely didn't hear was why that was an "embarrassing" exaggeration based on the earth warming 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Among the report's predictions and worst-case scenarios: America's GDP dropping by 10 percent by the end of the century, hundreds of billions of dollars lost," ABC correspondent Whit Johnson said on Good Morning America.
He elaborated a day later, showing that particular forecast was the "top line" (most extreme) one and used 15 degrees of warming to generate a 10-percent reduction in the economy. He pointed out that even the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said more than 4 degrees of warming by 2100 was "unlikely" in all the other models.
"The 15 deg F temp increase is 2x most extreme value reported elsewhere in the report (95th percentile of RCP 8.5)," Pielke tweeted on Nov. 24.
He continued in a second tweet, "Shouldn't such an outlandish, outlier conclusion been caught in the review process? Not a good look that sole review editor for this chapter is an alum of the Center for American Progress ... which is funded by Tom Steyer. Even rudimentary attention to COI [Conflict of Interest] would avoided this." His additional tweets clarified that he views climate change as real, but reports need to be based on good science.
None of those television media reports mentioned that the extreme predictions were from an "outlier" model. No scientific critics or experts (Pielke or others) were included in those stories about the federal climate report. Climatologist Pat Michaels called the report "systematically flawed" because the models it used "dramatically overforecast warming ..." Experts also criticized the assessment's choice to ignore "trends in rainfall and flooding" from hurricanes and the landfall hurricane trends.
But the only critic most broadcast chose to include was President Donald Trump who was repeatedly mocked for his attitudes toward climate change.
"You can't spin your way out of science, folks" CNN's John Avlon quipped about Trump on Nov. 26.


While there has been substantial developments around utilization of Data Science and Analytics based solutions for business effectiveness and strategy, most of it was revolving around sectors such as Retail, Banking and Insurance. In recent times, it has been finding inroads into the manufacturing industry.
Advanced data science and analytics applied to the manufacturing Industries, differs in various features wherein the business aspects need to be tweaked as per the specific industry dynamics rather than generalized business areas.
Some of the areas within manufacturing such as fleet analytics, aftermarket optimization are generic and have found common solutions across sub-industries. However, the field of sensor analytics has seemed elusive owing to its heavy dependence on domain specific approach. Traditionally, a very scientific approach has been used to address this challenge and results haven't always been up to the expectations. It is in this aspect experts have developed a new hybrid model to lead to quick and significant business impacting results. The purpose is to highlight this radical new approach and reiterate the usefulness.
Here, focusing about the manufacturing industry with emphasis on how sensors can help companies to create a smart factory with effort on optimized output, reduced loss, safer works environment and meet compliance standards.
The biggest part of creating a smart factory is implementing sensors and sensor connectivity. Sensors plugged into the right places along the production floor can give factory supervisors valuable data in real-time and help them take control of processes that exceed predefined parameters and shut them down. The alerts can be sent to the desktop in the controller's cabin or on his smartphone so that he has access to the information from anywhere.
Sensors are used in multiple places today for purposes like remote monitoring, automated control, FMEA and automated alerts. The type of sensors and their placement also vary significantly from sensors installed in an airline black box or an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) fitted in a car to an industrial sensor fitted in manufacturing plant for monitoring operating parameters.
A lot of organizations still utilize the traditional systems for data collection and monitoring. In essence a lot of these systems are offline where the data is collected at a plant and analysed locally. A lot of plants still utilize the good judgment of experienced technicians to understand and resolve the problems. A lot of times these systems aren't up to the mark and the technicians either rely on traditional manual techniques for measurement and analysis or come up with some work around to quick fix challenges.
With technological advancements such as High Speed Data Logging, Big Data Frameworks and Advanced Analytics, a lot of organizations are seeking to centralize the collection and monitoring of sensor data. A typical Remote Diagnostics System would have architecture is shown in Figure – 1 below. In this case, though we have shown a box for Big Data Architecture, most of the systems currently in place are in the process of modernizing their architecture. More commonly an Operational Historian System is used.
1. Conversion Factors – Different geographical regions utilize different conventions and units of measurement. A common code is needed to translate all to a standard format for storage and retrieval.
2. Sensor Errors – Sensors add in erroneous data occasionally. This either needs to be corrected or some unwanted data needs to be removed. Uncorrected errors wreak havoc in Analytical models.
3. High Speed Data Capture – A lot of sensors produce real time data. Some sampling mechanism is needed to chop this data into readings without loss of critical information. Monitoring effectiveness is improved with smaller sampling intervals. However, a cost-benefit analysis is needed before going for a near real-time system.
4. Handling large data size and load – Most traditional systems are currently facing challenges with increased access and processing time. They were designed to handle moderate loads. With a plethora of sensors being added and sampling intervals being reduced have led to the need for utilizing a Big Data Lake to streamline & speed up monitoring and analytics.
5. Data Reduction & Cleaning for Analytics – This is specific to the analytics project and substantial of time is spent in this activity on the analytics front. Unlike other domains, there is a lot of dependence on Domain specific info while data cleaning and reduction.
Unlike typical analytics projects, Sensor analytics needs an iterative hybrid approach. Rather than starting by looking at data directly, a considerable amount of time needs to be spent in understanding the domain and specific business problems that the project is seeking to solve. Figure below shows the iterative hybrid approach.
In essence, begin with a small problem and utilize physics based design considerations and transfer functions to arrive at significant variables to further drill-down to. Often some of the variables need to be derived from the primary data captured using governing equations of physics and mechanics. Occasionally a few variables need to be simulated or corrected before they can be utilized further. As in all data science projects, this is followed by extensive data cleaning and organizing them.
Analytical models are then applied over clean data to arrive at specific parameters such as remaining useful life of an asset. These models are to be piloted over multiple assets to verify their general applicability. A generalizing factor might also be added to reduce over - fitting. Finally, the model is built into the system as a parameter or visualization and the iterative process then moves on to other business problems or enhancing the solution by adding more variables and complexity.

East Franklinton Planned as Dense Hub of Urban Creativity
July 14, 2012 11:45 am Walker Evans The Master Plan for East Franklinton calls for dense new development on West Broad Street.
On Thursday evening, dozens of locals gathered in an empty Franklinton warehouse to review and discuss the finalized results of the East Franklinton Plan.
Public input has been gathered through a series of events over the past twelve months to help steer the development of the new neighborhood plan. The goal of the project is to provide affordable live/work options for the creative community, develop a mix of innovative infill while preserving historic character of existing neighborhood buildings, and help to create a dense walkable urban neighborhood with a distinct identity.
"In many ways the East Franklinton effort is about bringing back a neighborhood that has fallen on hard times, but which is still home to many folks and businesses," said Vince Papsidero, Planning Administrator at City of Columbus. "So this effort gives the neighborhood legitimacy among other nearby initiatives, while also ensuring the Franklinton has a place at the table in Central Ohio and isn't lost in the shadow of Downtown."
The plan calls for the development of the East Franklinton area as a whole through three seperate neighborhood strategies:
Dodge Park – (orange) This area will continue to work with the Franklin Development Association on the infill of 250-400 new affordable and market-rate single family homes. The area will see limited densities and retail, but will include the addition of new community focused greenspaces.
Arts & Innovation – (purple) The neighborhood surrounding 400 West Rich will be the focus of additional creative spaces including studios, incubator spaces and live/work environments. The plan calls for an additional 800-1,300 residential units to be housed in renovated spaces and new development.
Broad Street – (blue) The Broad Street corridor will be the densest of the East Franklinton area with the plan calling for 2,000 to 3,000 new residential units over the next 20 years. Private developers will be sought to partner on building out space for stores, restaurants, boutiques and office uses here.
Combined, these three neighborhoods call for upwards of 4,700 new residential units, 100,000 square feet of new retail space, 100,000 square feet of new creative office space, and 150,000 square feet of studio and entrepreneurial incubator space, all within a 200 acre area. To put that into perspective, the dense Bridge Street Corridor plan in Dublin calls for 8,000 housing units for 1,000 acres.
To paraphrase a famous quote… "with great density comes great responsibility". But neighborhood leaders aren't too concerned about the gradual shift toward this new way of life for Franklinton.
"Parking is of course one of the biggest questions people have when redeveloping anything," said Jim Sweeney, Executive Director of the Franklinton Development Association. "We really believe that density dictates parking and that we don't intend to follow suburban style parking requirements in this environment. We think people will walk, ride bikes and have fewer vehicles in East Franklinton."
Beyond density, the East Franklinton plan is being touted as unique as it includes existing ongoing redevelopment efforts, rather than being purely an aspirational document. The goals of the overall plan stretch over the next two decades, but work in the short term will yield tangible results in the next three to five years.
"The plan is building upon efforts to revitalize the neighborhood that started before we undertook the planning process last September," said Papsidero. "Efforts by the City under the Mayor's leadership, Franklinton Development Association, CMHA and Lance Robbins together place this plan at a point where it can help draw connections between multiple initiatives, as opposed to trying to jump starting revitalization."
Papsidero also says that the East Franklinton plan is realistically grounded as it is based upon a conservative market study that forecasts housing, retail and office needs over the next few years. These trends, combined with priorities defined by the residents of Franklinton are what form the driving force behind the new plan.
"The majority of the feedback I received was very positive and supportive," said Papsidero. "An adopted plan is a key tool to ensure the public interest is taken into consideration as investment decisions are made."

Johnson: Greetings and salutations
E-mail has scrambled our expectations of written greetings, leading to hurt feelings and even embarrassment
Books, arts and culture
by R.L.G. | BERLIN
AN AMERICAN friend in New York who speaks good Spanish contacted her house mover, who is Mexican, by e-mail in January. The exchange was going acceptably, until my friend got a strange reply. "I don't know what your intentions are…but I think these were lies so that you could get my number." Things broke down quickly. The man will not be getting any more work from my friend. Her mistake? Signing off two e-mails with the word "abrazos", or "hugs" in Spanish.
Spanish differs quite a lot from place to place. This article from About.com recommends "un abrazo" as one of several possibilities for an informal Spanish sign off. But some Spanish-speaking areas are much more conservative than others, and this was clearly an intimacy too far for the Mexican gentleman. In other countries and for other speakers, it would be totally unremarkable. Elsewhere in Latin America, Brazilians are so free with "um abraço" in Portuguese that they can even be used as a goodbye over the phone between men who have never met, and abraços are near-ubiquitous in e-mail. In both Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking bits of Latin America, if one person of the two communicating is female, besos/beijos (kisses) can be exchanged instead.
E-mail has scrambled our expectations. Anne Curzan, a linguist, has struggled with what she expects from students. If they are not sure about choosing between Anne, Dr Curzan and Professor Curzan, they often bail out entirely and begin an e-mail with just "Hi". But this is unacceptably informal for some. She, in turn, is not sure how to address equals, other academics, whom she does not know, in a first e-mail. The comments on her column show the wide variety of practices and opinions in just one narrow bit of the world, American academic life.
The problems multiply when crossing professions, borders, generations, languages and social classes. In some contexts, an e-mail is a lot like a quick spoken message that just happens to be written down. But in Germany, nearly every e-mail begins with the most formal greeting appropriate for a printed letter: "Sehr geehrter Herr/Frau [surname]" ("very honoured Mr/Ms [surname]"). The standard e-mail sign off is also bulky: "Mit freundlichen Grüßen" ("with friendly greetings"), is strictly required in an initial contact. After several e-mails exchanged, the greetings might move on to "Hallo, Herr [surname]", but they will never—unless the two people have met in person and agreed to do so—presume "Hallo [first name]". Similarly, sign offs can get gradually more informal, from "Mit freundlichen Grüßen"to "Viele Grüsse"("many greetings") to, if people have become friendly, "Liebe Grüsse"("dear greetings"). But abandoning a closing entirely is still rare in Germany.
By contrast, in America, e-mail greetings begin informally and quickly get more so. "Dear Mr Greene" is still possible, but is starting to look a little white-tie to younger generations. "Dear [first name]" may be the most neutral, But "Hi, [first name]" is gaining market share. Sign-off options range from a practically laboured "Best wishes" to a brisk "Best". After a few e-mails are exchanged, things are down to the bare essentials: "Hi" for a salutation and just the first name for a sign off. Then, not even that.
Of the column-inches already spilt on this topic, many of them are of the declinist sort: does no one bother with respect anymore? But respect is a lot more than the robotic use of formal salutation and sign off. Sometimes this is literally robotic: many German contacts include the Mit freundlichen Grüßen in their e-mail signatures. On the Johnson blog a couple of years ago, I called algorithmic courtesy "a pretty cold way of expressing a warm emotion", and that goes for the closings of e-mails.
My poor friend's problem was the opposite: she tried, with genuine good will, to express some human emotion to someone she was going to hire for a hard and sweaty task. He was so surprised by her effort to be friendly that he thought he was being propositioned for a different kind of sweaty task. You can't please all the people all the time.
That said, a few obvious rules suggest themselves. A golden rule would obviously be "Do as others have already done unto you." Fewer and fewer professional situations allow one person to address another in a way he would not accept in return. The aforementioned seniority difference between professors and students is one, and medical doctors might use a first name with patients while still expecting "Dr" in reply. In some socially conservative, hierarchical cultures, this kind of thing might be more common. But it is nearly extinct in the west, with the rise of the idea of equal dignity for all.
Yet you will still be the first mover, writing to someone for the first time, sometimes. Johnson recommends that you aim a little high. In English, that would usually be "Dear", and in most cases "Mr" or "Ms", closing with a "Best wishes", perhaps even gilding the lily with a "with". (It is hardly the old French version, Veuillez agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes sentiments les meilleurs, which, like peacock tail-feathers, are beautiful but useless for flight.) Just begin with a bit of class, and find out who you're dealing with. Later, it is much easier to go down formality levels than up. And at least we no longer feel the need to sign off as:

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance discusses government's plan to overcome pandemic with provincial and territorial

Identity recovery service now available for NSW Government customers
Cyber Security NSW has delivered on a commitment in the NSW Cyber Security Strategy to establish an identity recovery service for NSW Government customers whose identities become compromised from a cyber incident.
The IDCARE Identity Recovery Service was launched at an event themed 'Privacy and Care' at the Joint Cyber Security Centre in Sydney on 16 July 2019.
IDCARE, Australia and New Zealand's national identity and cyber support service, provides an informed and comprehensive response to any compromise of an individual's identity information.
Chief Cyber Security Officer Tony Chapman announced the funding arrangement for the whole-of-government subscription, which will enable 500 individual referrals to IDCARE to be used by NSW Government departments and agencies as required.
"For customers of the NSW Government this arrangement means a more direct connection between residents of NSW and the specialist support available via IDCARE.
"As around one in three clients of IDCARE reside in NSW our arrangement is a very practical and meaningful way the NSW Government can support customers impacted by scams, identity crimes and cybercrimes," Mr Chapman said.
Professor David Lacey, Managing Director of IDCARE, said a lot of members of the community find IDCARE's specialist services after bouncing between organisations.
This arrangement is an Australian first and enhances the connectivity of IDCARE across all NSW Government departments, agencies and their customers.
"The NSW Government has shown great leadership in responding to the needs of those impacted. Connecting impacted residents to IDCARE quickly can make a real difference to the harm they experience online, the exposure they have to other crimes, and the timeliness of their response efforts," Professor Lacey said.

Arrow's Theorem and the Exclusive Shareholder Franchise

In this essay, we contest one of the main arguments for restricting corporate board voting to shareholders. In justifying the limitation of the franchise to shareholders, scholars have repeatedly turned to social choice theory—specifically, Arrow's theorem—to justify the exclusive shareholder franchise. Citing to the theorem, corporate law commentators have argued that lumping different groups of stakeholders together into the electorate would result in a lack of consensus and, ultimately, the lack of coherence that attends intransitive social choices, perhaps even leading the corporation to self-destruct. We contend that this argument is misguided. First, we argue that scholars have greatly overestimated the relative likelihood of cyclical outcomes with an expanded electorate. Second, even if a nascent intransitivity were to occur, there is almost no chance that it would manifest itself in inconsistent corporate decisions, much less ones that would cause a firm to self-destruct. Moreover, the exclusive shareholder franchise, like any other preference aggregation system, may avoid violating one of the conditions of Arrow's theorem only by violating another—a tradeoff that has never been explicitly acknowledged or defended. Ultimately, we argue that Arrow's theorem fails to support the limitation of corporate voting rights to shareholders.

**** (out of five)
La La Land arrives with a lot of hype. If you're in the business of Oscar prognostication, it's in a 50/50 race for Best Picture with the very different kettle of fish Moonlight. (Neither of these, of course, might come to pass; momentum could easily arise for such bigger fare as Sully, Arrival, Fences, Live By Night or the tiny and bleak Manchester By The Sea.)
It is Damien Chazelle's dream project, the script he already had in his drawer when his film Whiplash was not only made, but became an Indie hit, a critical darling and a Best Picture nominee. J.K. Simmons won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Chazelle had his moment, his blank cheque, and he cashed it on his Dream Project, an old-school musical he had been developing for years with his musical collaborator (and old school chum) Justin Hurwitz. He'd originally hope to make it for less than a million dollars; ultimately, he had at least thirty times that.
It shows. The opening number, a (perhaps digitally aided) one-take wonder involving an enormous amount of singers, dancers, cars and an LA freeway, is jaw-dropping, a statement of intent that fills the viewer with trust: This is gonna be great! For much of the film that trust is constantly rewarded. Emma Stone, tasked with carrying the film emotionally, appearing in about eighty percent of the scenes, singing, dancing and stealing your heart, is sensational (she must be the Oscar Best Actress front-runner, along with Isabelle Huppert for Elle). Ryan Gosling, very much supporting her, does so with characteristic grace – and a lot of heart. They're a terrific team.
She plays Mia, an aspiring (and perhaps talented) actress in Los Angeles; he plays Sebastian, an aspiring (and definitely very talented) jazz musician (Chazelle's signature motif). They fall in love, manage their careers and partake in a stack of original musical numbers along the way.
It's a true musical, in that characters break out into song and dance when they're feeling big emotions, and when a musical number is on, anything goes: shoes can appear out of nowhere, skies can lighten or darken, walls can disappear. Certainly the lighting can get jiggy. And, in its depiction of a dame and a dude up against the bright lights of show business in Hollywood, it's utilising tried-and-true musical formulae, constantly. What's fascinating is that it's totally contemporary; the style may be 1953, but the potholes in the freeway are 2015. LA has been art-directed to look magical (there aren't that many old-school street lamps, I know it) but it's still modern, lonely, dusty, car-cramped LA, and the casting directors suck.
The original songs by Hurwitz are very good and some are great (if you've seen it, I bet you're humming City of Stars right now). They express the characters' inner thoughts, they allow them to comment explicitly on their frustrations and longings, they speak of hopes and dreams and, of course, of love. They're at times plaintive, at times bold and brassy; motifs shimmy throughout. Indeed, it's a little jarring when Hurwitz's compositions are supplanted by known music (a sequence at a party incorporating a swathe of famous '80s hits) and deliberately different-sounding music (the songs attributed to and performed by a colleague of Sebastian's, played excellently by John Legend). Stone and Gosling both have fine pipes, Stone in particular, and something about their singing sounds authentic, as though if it were more perfect, it would be less real.
At 128 minutes, the film does feel a little long, and the story definitely slows and muddies in the second act. Because it's a story based on a thousand others, a story that is part of our collective moviegoing DNA, we're generally ahead of it, which contributes to the problem. But the ending – and it's an extended one, a big, ambitious epilogue – is tremendously satisfying. I could feel the large group of critics at the screening I attended sitting on their hands, resisting the uncouth impulse to applaud.

Great review. Can't wait until I personally see the movie. Everyone is giving it rave reviews, so it must be good.

Reblogged this on Perth Words… exploring possibilities. and commented:
Ooooooh! I love musicals and this sounds like a doozy!


We are opening our blog this week, as we continue to develop and expand our website. The purpose of these passages will be to communicate our didactic priorities, views on technological advancement and longer, more detailed descriptions of our upcoming plans/ events.
CodeCraze, LLC is a small maker space devoted to coding instruction, robotics and expression through technology. We also offer web design and web hosting for local merchants, artisans, writers and others desiring a dynamic online presence. We are family run and fully independent of any learning institution or marketed curriculum. As former university faculty members, we have established exactly what we desired for our own children- a space to explore, dream, build and share! We value education first and hope to give our students the tools and skills needed to gain confidence in their expression. In our small classes of similarly aged children and blossoming adults, we push the why factor. Whether we are building tiny motorized robots or working through the code for a new app, our focus is on why this task is important for the moment and how it is applicable to other settings. For example, in our robotics instruction, we may talk about construction and sensors and how they communicate with small programs that we have written to instruct our bots, but we also look at how sensors are critical in real life car production, and how Tesla can produce self-driving cars.
As a mother, I do not want my children to believe that technology is magic. I do not want them to play video games and simply accept that when we want things, we order on Amazon. This disassociation from the process of creation leads to blind consumption, and quick assumptions that really smart people sit somewhere in big business and make things to make us happy. I choose to push my children to build themselves, take apart, look inside, reconstruct and challenge themselves to understand how computers and machines work. I also believe that this is my responsibility as a mother on the cusp of the greatest technological revolution seen in modern times. How can I send my children off into a world where jobs long valued as 'safe' career tracks will suddenly cease to exist without at least giving them the foundation to hold their own and be leaders in this emerging economy?
My husband and I have lived abroad for the past twenty years. We have observed a rapid transition occurring across Europe and the Middle East, that brutally tears societies into influencers and followers. Jobs for manual laborers are disappearing. While this shows our advancement, the reality is that robots are an excellent replacement for most repetitive tasks that employ the majority of our society. We are learning that they are also excellent in situations that are dangerous or just plain uncomfortable for human workers. Ironically, even teaching and face-to-face interaction is becoming antiquated. As we turn toward online learning platforms and robotic assistance, what careers will be financially rewarding and secure in the next ten, twenty or thirty years? My response would be, only those areas where people cannot be replaced by machines. There will be no security in complacency. Police are replaceable. Firemen and soldiers take on unnecessary risk. Being a handy mechanic is no longer sufficient in automotive repair. Taxi drivers, cashiers, factory workers and airport personnel will soon be entirely expendable.
This is not meant to be any indication of what I value or desire. I only wish to report what I view as indisputable fact. My children will only have a secure future if they are empowered to innovate and create. I do not expect to produce the next Elon Musk, but I do know that innovators are the leaders of every new generation.

Jury hears closing remarks in 3rd trial tied to Whitmer plot
Published: October 24, 2022, 1:03pm
Paul Bellar, middle, appears before Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wilson on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022 for trial in Jackson, Mich. Paul Bellar, Joseph Morrison and Pete Musico are charged in connection with a 2020 anti-government plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. (J.

Prosecutors urged a jury Monday to convict three men for assisting the leaders of a plot to kidnap Michigan's governor, saying they provided land, paramilitary training and inspiration for domestic terrorism in the months ahead of the 2020 U.S. election.
Joe Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were not charged with trying to abduct Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. But their role was critical, according to authorities, who said the trio aligned themselves with key players and repeatedly endorsed the "boogaloo," a term that became a code word for U.S. civil war.
"The plan was hatched, nurtured here in Jackson County," said state Assistant Attorney General Sunita Doddamani. "It's really unmistakable what these men in this case did. They promoted terrorism. They sought out terrorists, and they found them and trained them."
The trial in state court in Jackson, Michigan, was an offshoot of the main case handled in federal court, where Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy. Two other men pleaded guilty and two more were acquitted.
The main charge is providing material support for a terrorist act, especially gun drills and ambush training with Fox at a rural property controlled by Morrison. Musico, Morrison's father-in-law, also lived there.
For hours, prosecutors went over evidence from nine days of testimony, much of it captured from social media, text messages and secretly recorded conversations. The goal: to present the three men as dangerous extremists whose disgust with government reached a tipping point when Whitmer, like other governors, ordered restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since jury selection on Oct. 3, defense lawyers have acknowledged rough, profane talk and boasts about violence. But in closing arguments, they said Morrison, Musico and Bellar were protected by the First Amendment.
"In this country you are allowed to talk the talk, but you only get convicted if you walk the walk," Musico's attorney, Kareem Johnson, said. "These individuals never did anything wrong, never committed any crime."
Morrison's lawyer, Leonard Ballard, picked up on that theme, acknowledging that the men were loud, opinionated and eager to appear at Michigan Capitol protests while legally armed but broke no laws.
"We have taken the Constitution in this case and just basically shredded it," Ballard said of prosecutors.
An Army veteran, Dan Chappel, was a star witness for prosecutors. He joined Morrison's paramilitary group, the Wolverine Watchmen, but was alarmed to hear about attacking police. He notified the FBI and agreed to stay in the group as an informant.
No one disputes that Fox participated in gun drills with the Watchmen. Prosecutors said Bellar was in charge of medical training, even spending hundreds of dollars on supplies.
"The Wolverine Watchmen taught (Fox) how to attract, organize and train a group of operators," Doddamani said.
Defense lawyers say the three men stopped associating with Fox by late summer when the kidnapping plot was accelerating. They also pointed out to jurors that the men didn't travel with Fox, Croft and many others to see Whitmer's vacation home in September 2020, a key piece of evidence in the federal trial.
Bellar had moved to South Carolina by the end of July 2020, two months before authorities broke up the plot with 14 arrests. Undercover FBI agents and informants were embedded in the group for months. Whitmer was never physically harmed.

The interesting half of this week I was in Moscow. I had been asked to present at a conference but then that conference was cancelled and I decided to go anyway, with my wife and no kids (4th time in 11 years for a "DINKy" - Double Income No Kids - weekend). As a bit of holiday reading, I bought a Russian text ("Supertraining", translated into Spanish) on strength training for my Kindle by one of the forefathers of "plyometrics", Yuri Verkhoshansky.
I found a gym which I planned to do my quality workout on Saturday morning but a day pass turned out to cost about 75 euros and the running machines were so slow to increase speed that running such short intervals would have been absurd. Instead, I braved the cold and ran the stretch between two bridges on the opposite side of the river from Red Square while my wife jogged past. With my generous rests in between sets, we ended up running about the same distance in the same time. The uneven pavement made the 200m intervals at over 21 kph quite hair-raising; I would start the 400m at what was quite an aggressive pace to find that I was literally wheezing and slowing down to a trot for the last 100m. Probably not the optimal execution but a good workout nonetheless and one from which I am still recovering today as I write this.
Just as I stayed on Madrid time when I went to New York a couple of weeks ago, it was also convenient to stay on Madrid time in Russia. As a result we would get up around 10:30 am (no kids!), have breakfast around 12:00 pm, lunch around 4 pm and dinner at 11 pm. I was suprised to find that not only were there many reasonable and good quality restaurants open 24 hours but we were not the only people eating at such strange times. So on the Sunday, just before checking out of the apartment, I went for a run around the river. I think I saw one other runner the whole time during the 3 days we spent there. Considering that Moscow supposedly had introduced a bike share scheme this year, I was expecting to see at least some bikes if not people riding them: nothing. I know it is cold, wet and windy but no more so in November than London! That, and the fact that people still smoke so much and in restaurants, were the only things which made the city seem a bit of a throwback; otherwise it was very clean, modern and impressive.

Peas of the Goms Valley
rye project
Valais Rye
In Gamsen (near Brig) archaeological excavations were made. There you have found remains of millet, which are about 2000 to 2400 years old. It is the panicle millet. Thus, the cultivation of this millet in Valais is older than the rye cultivation. Rye has only been known in Valais for less than 2000 years.
There are other forms of millet. The millet was formerly cultivated in Central Europe. The tropical millet, also called millet millet, is much used in Africa. Today, in Europe, for example in the French Rhône Valley (south of Lyon), there are fields with this millet.

Using well water of Sakata's sand dune, it is a pure rice big daigin brewed carefully at low temperature in the severe chilling.
It is an elegant Ginjo incense and a strong sense of taste created by the technique of the Japanese sake making.
