City Hall invites architects to design Market Sq.
August 21, 2012 Katowice the City City Center Redevelopment 0
The City Hall of Katowice has issued a limited tender for a detailed design of the Market Square's public spaces. Deadlines for the submission of applications to take part in tender proceedings will expire on 20th of September 2012.
The City Hall invites all architectural studios to the two-staged procedure. In the first instance, the companies will have to meet strict requirements e.g. they have to prove that theirs annual revenue amounts to PLN 1,6 million at least and a leading manager of designing team has 15 years of architectural experience or more. Then, the City will invite the best five studios to the second stage.
To choose the winner, the tender committee will take into consideration the price and the quality of architectural project proposed by the designing firms. The projects have to be based on the concept design of the consortium of GPP Grupa Projektowa and Agencja Projektowa Architektury EKSPO, and have to include suggestions made by the competition jury. GPP and EKSPO won the second prize in the open international competition for an architectural concept of the public spaces decided in July. As there were no winner, the public procurement law says the City Hall has to issue the tender procedure to select a new designer.
The invited five studios will design the area between Moniuszki St. and the "Rynek 13" building (north-south axis) and the Silesian Theater and the "Skarbek" building (east-west axis). The construction work on the public spaces will be conducted in two phases.
The chosen architectural studio will have 12 months to prepared the said detailed documentation including all administrative decisions and permissions enabling to issue a bidding procedure for a prime contractor and to start the construction work. An estimated value of the gratification for the chosen designing company is PLN 1,6 million.

Just a quick post on one of my favorite apps : Bloglovin'. I'll have to do a What's on my iPhone post some time. I love tech and apps and have already reviewed my favorite fashion app : SytleBook; and my favorite beauty app :myBeautyCache.
Bloglovin' can be found both on the AppStore and on the PlayStore. It is one of the best blog readers since Google reader got discontinued a couple of years ago, IMO. Unlike other RSS apps, it combines a blog reader and a social media platform all in one.
It's also a great way to get your blog out there and increase your page views. I love discovering new blogs that come from different platforms than the one I use which is wordpress. I'd say that's the biggest reason for my Bloglovin' account. WordPress has a built in reader that helps you connect with other wordpress bloggers. But if you want to connect to bloggers on other platforms you need an app to achieve this.
I'd for you all to follow my blog on Bloglovin' if you don't already. I'll be happy to follow you back!
Bloglovin' lets you arrange your posts in collections that can be filtered around your blog themes. I have a makeup collection, handbag and a travel collection you can check out.
Recently Bloglovin' lauched a new service : Activate that claims to help you monetize your blog. I can't really review this feature because it's so new, but I'll let you know in a couple months.
Which blog reader do you prefer ? Bloglovin', Feedly or another?

London's mayor Ken Livingstone may have reduced traffic congestion with his congestion charge, but what does it mean for the rest of the country?
According to research commissioned by IBM and conducted by Mori, the public is more positive about congestion charging than many believe. The report found that 61% supported the idea for large towns where there is major congestion, and 51% supported a national road pricing scheme - if introduced in tandem with lower car tax and fuel duties.
The government is committed to reducing congestion through what it calls road pricing, but remains undecided about how to achieve it. Alistair Darling, the transport minister, is said to be looking at all options, including a nationwide system tracking all 22m road users.
The chairman for the Commission for Integrated Transport (CfIT), Professor David Begg, kicked off a heated debate in February last year, when he delivered a report to the Department of Transport that proposed a nationwide GPS (global positioning system) satellite tracking system working in conjunction with GPRS (general packet radio service), the digital mobile phone network. A GPS is able to track vehicles wherever they go and doesn't need to use roadside masts .
The system would charge users based on the miles travelled on congested sections, using variable pricing designed to make congested periods most costly. But it only works if all vehicles are fitted with tracking devices, adding considerable costs.
To make it more acceptable to the public, CfIT, an independent body set up by the government to advise on transport policy, proposed that road tax and fuel duty be dumped in favour of nationwide congestion charging - a "revenue-neutral" option.
Since the report, the Department of Transport has set up a steering group to look at the feasibility of road pricing options, which will report next summer. But the debate has an urgency now that Customs and Excise (working closely with the department) has completed consultations for the nationwide lorry road user charging (LRUC) system, which it plans to implement for 500,000 lorries by 2006. It is looking closely at the GPS satellite option and the land-based system known as directional short range communications (DSRC). This uses in-car radio tags that signal driver movements to roadside beacons or overhead gantrys.
The GPS option has received a further shot in the arm with the publication of a report last month by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), which focused on the government's targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. It concluded that a GPS satellite system was the most likely option for a national road charging system. But contrary to CfIT, it believes a new scheme should raise £16bn if it is to have a significant impact on reducing congestion.
Meanwhile, London's congestion charging system is approaching the end of its first year of operation. Run by IT services firm Capita, it has attracted supporters and detractors equally. In its first six months, it reduced congestion by 30%, and 60,000 fewer cars enter the inner zone each day. But it is predicted to be £60m short of its yearly targets while 85,000 fines (20% of those billed) have been sent in error. London's relatively simple scheme uses cameras to check the number plates of cars entering its congestion zone.
GPS has gained a foothold with a number of trial projects: Zingo, a taxi hailing system in London; Yorkshire bus operators' £9m system to provide centralised travel information; and Norwich Union's pay-as-you-drive insurance system. But proponents of GPS have been dealt a blow with the news that a nationwide system for truckers set up in Germany this summer has been postponed because it did not work, despite costing over £450m. Problems included faulty on-board GPS units, inaccurate charging or simply no charges where they were due. Internet payments for foreign truckers without GPS units also failed to work properly.
John Dawson, a partner of IBM Business Consulting services, says this experience highlights the need for action. "The government must focus on defining standards for a national approach to road pricing and look towards developing a common national infrastructure that will allow different technology to interoperate."
The view is backed by Richard Hordman, chief executive of telematics firm Cybit, which develops commercial GPS services. "The telematics industry needs standardisation and access to congestion data so we can develop commercial services like traffic management and in-car navigation systems. If this isn't done there is a danger that we end up with up to three separate devices in vehicles for navigation, charging, and fleet management." He believes the GPS solution will fail if there are not enough added features, such as navigation and reporting features.
Which technology will the department favour, if a nationwide approach is taken? Professor Begg admits concerns remain over reliability, privacy and inequalities of those in the country paying less than urban users. "I think the government will want to heed the need for a standard approach and one that fits into European initiatives on road pricing technology."
"GPS is very much alive," says Phil Jeanes, a senior consultant with PA Consulting Group. "Even Transport for London is looking at GPS as a possible option to extend the charging zone and make it more targeted. The department of transport is producing plans to safeguard data. Over time I think it will be seen less as a 'spy in the sky' system as benefits become more apparent."
The department has said that any technology for charging will not be available at least until 2010. Consequently, a patchwork of solutions is perhaps most likely in the short term.

He's our newest addition to the 95.1 KBBY airstaff, meet Bill Michaels. Bill is a true Southern Californian having grown up in "America's Finest City" San Diego, where he went to SDSU to study Broadcast/Management and got the radio bug. You could find him most weekend overnights hanging out at his local Top 40 radio station, when he wasn't going to school or working at a small grocery store in his hometown of El Cajon.
A stop in San Bernardino and then off to the big time in Los Angeles, where he spent 12 years at the Westwood One Radio Networks 24/7 Format Division programming three of the company's formats. Bill then went on to KBIG 104.3 in Los Angeles, where he did afternoons. After two years, he made the move to San Francisco where he was the PM Drive personality on K-101. When it was time to come home, Bill was hired as the Program Director and mid-day host on KRUZ 103.3 in Santa Barbara.
He has done it all: a stint at an Internet online/terrestrial Comedy radio start-up, a traffic reporter and newsman in San Diego, jocked Classic Rock, Soft Adult Contemporary, Country, Oldies, 70's Hits, and his favorite format, Hot A/C, just like the new 95.1 KBBY. Bill describes his time with the new 95.1 KBBY saying, "I feel like I'm home here."
Bill is a long-time Ventura County resident, having settled with his family in the Oak Park area. This is where he met his wife and they raised their three kids. He and his family are now making their latest move to the Ventura/Oxnard area. "We're so close to the ocean here, I can eat my lunch on the sand or head over to Harbor Village and watch the boats come in. It's awesome" said Bill. "I love this station and I absolutely love the music we're playing". Listen afternoons from 3:00PM to 7:00PM for a better mix of music, and "Right Now Traffic" for the drive home with Bill Michaels. "We're going to have some fun!"

I'm ready to admit that this summer has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Now, I can look back on it and say that I am proud of myself and grateful to all those who helped me along the way. A few months ago I was feeling that I had no control of my own life or even my own identity.
My job was scheduled to drastically change, my volunteer leadership term was ending, my youngest child was getting married. If not the Pinewood Librarian, The Congregational President and a Mom, who was I?
One of the things that helped me through was hearing author Janice Kaplan, speak about her book, The Gratitude Diaries (2015). Ms. Kaplan spoke about the Jewish influence in her quest to be more grateful. In the book, Kaplan shares her own experiences during a year that she challenged herself to look at the positive in order to change her own attitude. She cites research and experts as well as her own experiences.
In time, I realized that I had the skills to get another job. Starting in September, I'll be the librarian at Okte Elementary School in the Shenendehowa district. I volunteered to be the Librarian, Philanthropy Chair, and Gala organizer at Congregation Gates of Heaven. I am reprising my role as ENYSLMA (School Librarian Professional Association) President and I started this blog. I even discovered that instead of being mommy to two boys I am now a mom and mother-in -law of four amazing adults.
I feel much more in control of my life both because of the changes I made and by understanding how gratitude can help all of us see life's big and small challenges in a positive way. As Janice Kaplan says in her book, "Looking for the positive in every event had changed my attitude– and it was also fun. I feel liberated to understand that it wasn't events that made me happy but how I chose to frame them."
I am truly grateful for the communities I am involved in. Again quoting Janice Kaplan, "We don't feel more gratitude just because we're rich. In fact, gratitude is sometimes helped by scarcity. You wouldn't say a crust of bread makes you happy, but if you're starving, getting a few crumbs makes you very very grateful." I realize Kaplan was talking about a scarcity of money. But for me, I was nervous about an upcoming scarcity of meaningful experiences; and now I'm very grateful for my new job, new role as blogger and continued volunteer engagement.

A Doctor's Memoir
"What do you do?" is the first thing adults ask each other when we meet. I'm always interested in other people's professions. This Narrow Space is a doctor's Memoir; I love memoirs of average non-famous people and this one is especially well written and gripping.
Dr. Waldman shares in an honest and emotional way his thoughts about medicine, patients and hospitals. He talks about his own growth within the field. This Narrow Space: A Pediatric Oncologist, His Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Patients, and a Hospital in Jerusalem (2017) has a long title that doesn't exactly do the book justice. Dr. Elisha Waldman is a pediatric palliative care specialist who started out as an oncologist. He does a wonderful job educating his readers about palliative medicine. I had all of the misconceptions that he described.
This book is also about the author's move to Israel, his Zionism and his conflicted feelings about being a doctor at Hadassah Hospital. He also speaks about his young patients who come from many cultures. Each person's story is heartwrenching. Dr. Waldman explains why he got into such a difficult field and how he is able to keep his own feelings under control.
This is a very satisfying read about: medicine, religion, culture, the doctor-patient relationship, Israeli bureaucracy, and Jewish values. Don't miss it!

World at War, People in Love
The book everyone is talking about is The Tattooist of Auschwitz (2018) by Heather Morris. I try to avoid holocaust stories but somehow they always find me. So many people raved about this one that I borrowed the audio version from my library. Within a few minutes, I was hooked.
The book starts on the cattle car. Lale, survives by doing one of the most memorable jobs in the camp, he tattoos the numbers on the new prisoners. Due to his privileged position, he witnesses much more than the typical captive. Therefore we the reader, (or the listener) is exposed to so many nazi horrors. The Tattooist of Auschwitz is going on my list of all-time best holocaust reads. The story of Lale Sokolov and the woman he meets while tattooing her will stay with me for a very long time.
Although the story is true and written based on the recollections of a survivor, it reads like a novel. Due to some invented dialogue and filled in details, the author opted to release the book as fiction. Share this book with as many people as possible. It's all of our obligation to never let the world forget!
If you want a much gentler World War II love story, read The Long Flight Home (2019) by Alan Hlad. Ollie lives in Maine before America enters the war. A series of tragic circumstances lead him to attempt to enlist in the Royal Air Force. It's also the story of Susan and her grandfather who raise pigeons in the British countryside. The pigeons are both pets and weapons of war.
Told with gentle, tender language this cozy love story set during World War II deals with fascinating true events. There is no mention of the holocaust or Judaism but both Susan and Ollie risk their lives to stop the Nazis.
Both books shine a light on love in difficult circumstances.
Shanghai & Torah: two words that don't usually go together.
An actual Torah which survived the Holocaust by being wrapped around the torso of a refugee would have quite a story to tell. What if that Torah ended up in China? Then the story would be even more interesting! Briana London took that actual historical framework and turned it into a historical fiction novel that spans three continents and two very distinct cultures.
Shanghai Torah: yuanfen (2018) starts off as a typical Jewish Holocaust tale. When the Rabbi's family receives visas to emigrate to Japan the story gripped my attention and held it right to the end. The best part of the book was when Moshe the scribe is living in the home of a Master Chinese Poet and his communist leaning son. Adult parent/child relationships and tradition vs. change are themes woven into the tales of both the Jewish and Chinese families.
This book is a winner for book groups. I think I'll plan an art night around it. Now I just need to find some folks who want to read the book then try their hand at Hebrew and Chinese calligraph
How is Fashion Design like a Jewish Book Blog?
I just had a lovely chat with Isaac Mizrahi. Not really, but listening to Mizrahi read his memoir feels like having an intimate conversation with this actor and fashion icon. I.M. (2019) starts when Isaac is only 5 years old and living with his parents in a observant Jewish home. He attends yeshiva day school and a traditional shul. His father worked in the garment industry, his mother made a career of shopping for bargain clothes for herself and Isaac's two older sisters. Isaac was drawn to the clothes. When the other neighborhood boys were playing basketball, Isaac was creating a puppet theater and doing impressions of Barbra Streisand. Not surprisingly, Isaac never felt like he fit into the close-knit Syrian Jewish Community where he was raised.
Mizrahi's recollections of this community are not flattering. He cannot wait to leave the traditional Jewish lifestyle. The first section of the book is a fascinating look into Sephardic Judaism in New York. Mizrahi has recaptured his childhood in a way I wish I could do. He shares details that bring his childhood to life. Isaac remembers fantasizing about men all through his childhood. He recalls shame in being gay before he even knew what gay meant.
Things turn around for Isaac when he goes to The High School For The Performing Arts. He even has a brief spot in Fame the movie. As Isaac matures he enters the world of fashion. Fashion is not a big concern of mine but the book held my interest right until the very end. Show biz stars, supermodels and designers are all talked about. Mr. Mizrahi holds nothing back including his own mental health, sexual desires and his disdain for the community he left behind.
I.M. is inspiring. Mizrahi built a fashion label like no other. He did just because he wanted to. Money was never his driving factor. It was all about being the artist he wanted to be. When he became famous but the art no longer interested him, he closed the shop and went on to something else. It took courage, hard work and a true belief in his own self-worth.

Sapiens, a book that will shift your view of the world.
I just got back from Alaska, I traveled on a National Geographic Ship with 100 passengers and 8 naturalists. Most of our time was spent seeing wildlife and learning about them, but we also learned about the Tlingit people who are indigenous to Southeast Alaska. We were visited by a Tlingit woman who sang for us and told a little bit about her culture. The naturalists told us that The Tlinglit people were thriving in the 1700s while Europeans were just surviving. I was not surprised, I've read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (English version, 2014) by Israeli Author, Yuval Noah Harari.
Brief, is certainly not a word I would use to describe this book. It's written in a scholarly way yet I found it captivating. Harari makes his case that the hunter-gather life was so much better for individual people then we assume. Harari barely mentions Israel or Judaism but he has a lot to say about organized religion in general.
We discussed this book in my co-ed, book group and found many topics to delve into including the pre-history of mankind and the ethics of raising animals for food. If you have some spare time to go way beyond beach reading, pick up Sapiens and have your world view shifted and shifted again.

She was more than just a movie star, she was a scientist on a mission.
Hedy Lamarr's life is anything but a typical story. In the historical fiction novel, The Only Woman in the Room (2019), Marie Benedict uses historical facts to highlight a decade of Hedy's life. The book opens with Hedy on Stage, bedazzling an Austrian audience in 1933 and ends in Hollywood 1942.
In between, we are taken into the mind of a beautiful woman, who is a prisoner in her own home. She had wealth and fame but no power. What fascinated me the most, was Hedy's relationship with Judaism. She was born a Jew but had no connection to it. She even marries in an Austrian Church. After fleeing Europe, Hedy again faces the choice of embracing her Judaism or burying it. She opts to keep her Jewish Heritage secret because no Jews work in Hollywood, yet no matter how deeply she tries to hide her Judaism, it gnaws at her.
Hedy was aware of top-level Nazi plans long before much of the rest of the world. The Only Woman in the Room is not a Holocaust story or a story of an actress rising to fame. It is the story of a strong woman striving to be taken seriously in a man's world. I will admit to knowing almost nothing about this movie star, through Benedict's novel I learned that Hedy was way more than a pretty face.
There are book discussion questions in the back of the book. I wish the author provided more details about what was factual and what was invented. I also want to know what happened to the people Hedy left behind in Austria. I really enjoyed this peek into the world of Hedy Lamarr!

Inheritance: An Ancestry Gift She Never Expected
Last week, I received another email offering me an ancestry.com package for only $59. The email said it is a perfect gift for Father's Day. Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love (2019); proves that knowledge of one's ancestry is not always the gift you were expecting.
Dani's family is made up of Orthodox Jews. On her father's side, she is related to famous Rabbis and community leaders. This has always been a source of pride for non-observant Dani. When her DNA test reveals that she and her half-sister are not genetically related to each other a quick look in the mirror proves that it is Dani who is biologically not part of the family.
The quest to find the truth reveals not an affair but a test tube. 54 years ago Dani's parents were unable to conceive, they used a fertility institute. The science now tells us that the sperm used was not from her Jewish father but from a stranger of various European ancestry.
Each part of her discovery is beautifully written and made for an engaging read. But as I read the book, I often thought what does it matter? The man who raised Dani is long dead and Dani's concerns about not being Jewish are completely unfounded by anyone's definition.
But then I wondered how I would feel if my parents knowingly lied to me or if my parents were lied to about my origins. The science of genetic testing is chillingly cheap and easy. I know several stories of people who have done the test on a whim and had life-changing consequences. Dani Shapiro's Inheritance is a beautiful book about one woman's journey into her truth and perhaps it's a cautionary tale to those interested in spitting into a test tube just for the fun of it.
This is a book I will definitely yenta about, it will make a for a good book group discussion.
You'll love these books or be shocked…
"For a woman sentenced by God, Naamah is surprised by how often He allows her to take a god-like role."
Naamah A Novel (2019) by Sarah Blake imagines Noah's wife, from the time the ark floats away until it is time to resettle the world. But Blake doesn't just reinterpret the story as Anita Diamant did with the biblical Dinah in The Red Tent (1998). Instead, Blake writes a tale with dreams, angels, and the bending of time.
I enjoyed reading this book. I read it, in just two afternoons but I don't know if I can recommend it. I predict people will have strong reactions, either loving it or just not getting it. There are some shocking scenes. There is sex without romance that is described in vivid detail.
It seems appropriate that I finished reading Naamah the same day I marched in a Pride Parade with my synagogue. This book had the most detailed lesbian sex descriptions that I have ever read. Naamah is sexually active with male, female, and those without a solid gender. Sexuality of all kinds, has been around since the beginning of people. Blake's novel expresses this fact beautifully.
God is referred to in the masculine but this book is definitely a feminist look at the story of the ark. Naamah is tasked with tending to the animals and in many cases, she alone determines who will live and who will die. She is the mother of all future people, yet not given her due in biblical re-tellings until now.
The Novel, Kaddish.com (2019) By Nathan Englander also has a shocking sexual scene. It reminded me of Portnoy's Complaint by Phillip Roth (1969). Kaddish.com gets to the heart of our obligation to our tradition and heritage. Can we run away from the way we were raised? In this book, an orthodox man turns secular and then is forced by his traditional family, to confront his obligation to say Kaddish for his father. I found it thought-provoking and affirming of my life choices; it is another book I think people will either be thrilled with or disgusted by.
If you read either Naamah or Kaddish.com let me know your reaction.

It's Okay to Say the C word…
Cancer, "One out of every forty-three Jewish people carries a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene… as opposed to the BRCA frequency of approximately one in six hundred non-Jews." (quoted from Resurrection Lily)
A reader of this blog recommended I read, Mah Jongg Mondays by Fern Bernstein (2019).
Since I actually do play Mah Jongg on Mondays it seemed like a good fit. This is the kind of book that makes me think I could write a book and publish it. It's a memoir of a Long Island woman who was born in the 1960's, just like me. I related to so many things in her life including being active in synagogue leadership and even having a father named Elliott. Reading the book is like chatting in the kitchen with a neighbor, it is not smooth and professional but I loved it. Every hero needs a villain and in Mah Jongg Mondays the villain is cancer. Cancer touches the lives of the women around the Mah Jongg table. Some will beat it, others will succumb to it. Everything else in the author's life is so positive and so detailed that on a rating scale of zero to five matzo balls I can only give it two matzo balls for writing but it gets all 5 matzo balls for relatable Jewish content.
Amy Byer Shainman also writes a memoir about cancer. Her's is much more professional. Resurrection Lily: The BRCA gene, hereditary cancer & lifesaving whispers from the Grandmother I never knew. A Memoir (2018), is both the story of one family's cancer saga and information about breast and ovarian cancer. The author feels a connection to her grandmother Lillian, who died at just 33 years old of cancer. The author becomes a "previvor" after learning through genetic testing that her chances of having cancer are 85%. By reading this book, I gained a lot of knowledge about genetic counseling, third opinions, and the importance of medical information for both men and women. Shainman is an advocate and documentary filmmaker who knows how to write. If there is cancer in your family then read this book. This books gets 5 matzo balls for writing; the Jewish content in this book is in the genes not in the soul.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky
If I could have just one more hour with my mother, I'd spend it in a book club with her. My mom first brought me to a book discussion when I was 7 years old. We discussed Evan's Corner by Elizabeth Starr- Hill with other Moms and Kids at the Syosset public library. I can remember the name and plot of this book from 45 years ago.
By talking about books, we remember them. Discussing books takes us to deeper levels of conversation and brings out topics that would not otherwise come up. I recently read Beneath a Scarlet Sky: A Novel by Mark Sullivan in preparation for a Jewish women's book group at my congregation. Although there are oodles of books about WWII and the holocaust this one had a unique story, based on actual events.
Pino is a Catholic teenager in Italy. He tries to ignore the war but finds himself rescuing Jews, joining the Nazis, and spying on the Nazis. I liked the story even more as it went on. I thought about each of the characters: who was good and who was evil and then thought, is anyone one or the other? The books' focus on the end of the war and the lives of non-Jewish Italians was new material for me. I am looking forward to discussing this story, before it is made into a television movie starring Tom Holland (no relation).
Beneath a Scarlet Sky: A Novel is my favorite type of historical fiction. Actual history is unfolding but in a fictionalized way. In historical fiction the author can include dialogue and details often not possible in non-fiction. I don't think I'll remember Mr. Sullivan's novel 45 years from now, like Evan's Corner but you never know!

Visitor to Ynyslas provides New Information about the former "Top Secret" Rocket Establishment
Seventy years ago today, on 17 February 1946, the wartime adventures of an 8 year-old girl whose father served at the Ministry of Supply Experimental Establishment Anti-Aircraft Ynyslas (MOS EE AA Ynyslas) came to a happy end.
According to his 'Soldier's Release Book', on 17 February 1946 Sidney L. Arthur was demobilised by the Experimental Establishment Admin Office, Ynyslas.
Before the outbreak of WWII, he was employed in the Paint Shop of the Ford Motor Company in Dagenham, Essex. The factory was then converted to the manufacture of munitions, and Sidney continued to work there. In 1940 Mr Arthur moved his family to the relative safety of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire. Then, in October the same year, he enlisted and joined the Royal Artillery, No1 Motorised Machine Gun Brigade, based in Brighton, serving as a dispatch rider.
Although the battalion went on to serve overseas, due to health issues, Sidney remained in the UK, and was posted to Borth, in all probability, assisting with the early experimental research into guided rocket technology. He was fortunate enough to be able to move his family to the area in November 1943.
His daughter, Colleen Stear (nee Arthur), was 6 years old at the time, and recently wrote to the Royal Commission after she had visited the site of the former MOS EE AA Ynyslas Research Establishment (NPRN 408392), and was delighted to hear that the Royal Commission had researched and surveyed the area.
The family did not know what was going on at the military camp at the time, but they understood it was vital to the war effort. It was noted by the local population that during the Borth village VE day celebrations, there were some very loud bangs coming from the rocket research facility just up the road at Ynyslas!
Later in February 1946, the family returned to Cambridgeshire, but they always looked back on their time in Borth with great fondness.
Mrs Stear's wartime memories have been added to the collection of material placed on the People's Collection Wales by the Royal Commission.

Jasper Johns (b. 1930 in Augusta, Georgia) has been a central figure in contemporary art since he arrived in New York in the early 1950s. He soon began to make paintings that appropriated popular iconography—the American flag, targets, numbers, and letters—quickly announcing himself an important new artist. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, purchased three pieces from Johns' first solo exhibition, at the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1958.
John's style of symbolic motifs has developed into a type of language for the artist that can be traced through his body of work, from paintings, sculptures, prints, and his quintessential 'combine' pieces.
Johns has exhibited The Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Kunstmuseum Basel. He represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 1988, where he was awarded the Grand Prize. President Obama bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor, on Johns in early 2011. Johns lives and works in Sharon, Connecticut, and the Island of Saint Martin.

Prime Minister Minnis congratulates Shaunae Miller-Uibo for setting new world record
Prime Minister the Most Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis called Shaunae Miller-Uibo over the weekend to personally congratulate her on setting a new world record in the women's 300m.
Prime Minister Minnis also extended congratulations to Mrs. Miller-Uibo and her husband, Maicel Uibo, on behalf of the Government of The Bahamas and the Bahamian people.
Mrs. Miller-Uibo set a new world record in the women's 300m at the 58th Ostrava Golden Spike in the Czech Republic, on Thursday 20 June. She finished in 34.41s, more than a second faster than the previous 35.45s record.
Prime Minister Minnis acknowledged Mrs. Miller-Uibo's stellar career as a sprinter and noted that this latest milestone was yet another example of her distinction in the sport of track and field.
Mrs. Miller-Uibo was the 400m Olympic champion in 2016 and the 200m gold medalist at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The Prime Minister said he looked forward to congratulating Mrs. Miller-Uibo in person on her next visit home to The Bahamas.


How much does the average redesign cost?
At RDA we always work closely with our client to establish a suitable design package which is tailored to their needs. This could involve anything from a site meeting and consultancy, to a conceptual pack containing outline plans and visuals, right through to a detailed set of working drawings and specifications. Whilst we calculate our fees on a pre-determined day-rate, we will always look to provide a fixed price for the design, which is usually 3-5% of the total value of the refurbishment.
What aspects should be considered when planning a redesign?
The first stage in our process is to establish the design brief. In some cases, our client will be an experienced operator and will have already formulated a detailed brief. If this isn't the case, RDA can assist in a joint approach. Most critically, the menu and service style should be considered as this is the main driving factor for everything else. The demographic (i.e. who is the customer?) is also very important, as is a careful consideration of who your competition is. With restaurants, cafes and grab and go food outlets on the high street booming, one of the key challenges for businesses is to provide an appealing offer which is at the very least comparable to the competition from outside the building.
What are the benefits of a redesign?
There are many benefits of a re-design but ultimately restaurant interior design can have a profound impact on customers. Implementing a new and unique style of décor can help bring in more guests and boost revenue. More and more, the food industry is building its business around a central theme or concept and this extends to how the dining space is designed and organised.
What are the benefits of updating old equipment?
There are many advantages to updating old equipment, as part of a new commercial kitchen design. Replacements of 'single use' equipment for 'multifunctional' equipment where practical, can enable kitchen staff to cook multiple dishes using multiple cooking methods all using the same piece of equipment. This can lead to huge savings on energy usage and labour costs, as well as space in the kitchen, which is particularly useful for the smaller kitchen spaces. The payback on such savings vs the initial capital cost of quality, multifunctional equipment will often surprise operators and be an easy decision when demonstrated.
What looks, trends, etc are fashionable at the moment?
Design trends are constantly changing based on society and what's popular with consumers. Some of the popular themes we are seeing with clients across the UK from the high street to B&I sectors range from Botanical and Biophilic – think plants, living moss walls, flowers and fresh herbs, to modern and ethical -rattan and woven furniture and sustainable materials.
Experimentation with tiles is also a key look, particularly large, geometric, mottled and mosaic patterns.
Typography looks set to stay too – coupled with vibrant graphics, marquee letters, diagrams and charts which can add that statement piece or bring personality to your establishment.
2019 is also the year of contrasts. Big, bold, bright colours and abstract wall coverings – for that InstaWorthy look, as well as simple and more subtle pastel colours – providing understated chic, both being popular in equal measures.
What is the most important thing to remember when undertaking this kind of work?
Speak to the experts. There are businesses like ours set up to assist operators in making the correct initial decisions on design concepts, interior and equipment selection, through to implementation and installation.

Hare Krishna!
Welcome to the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON Phoenix). Because we engage in the chanting of the Holy Names "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare" we are also known as the "Hare Krishna" or "Radha-Krishna" temple.
ISKCON is comprised of more than 350 centres, 60 rural communities, 50 schools and 60 restaurants worldwide.
Our founder Acharya is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. "Acharya" means one who teaches by example and Srila Prabhupada certainly fulfilled this meaning. He personally trained his disciples in Vedic religion (Sanatana Dharma-Eternal Religion) and inspired them as well as hundreds of thousands of people to follow Krishna Consciousness. To this day, Srila Prabhupada continues to be an inspiration.
Srila Prabhupada gave a clear mission statement for ISKCON which is outlined in the following seven points.
Seven Purposes of ISKCON
To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
To propagate a consciousness of Krishna as it is revealed in the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.
To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, and thus to develop the idea, within the members, and humanity,at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).
To teach and encourage the Sankirtan movement of congregational chanting of the holy name of God as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
To erect for the members, and for society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes, dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and more natural way of life.
With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings.

Krishna Who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes. (BS 5.1)
Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) was spoken by Lord Krsna to Arjuna in the midst of the battlefield of Kuruksetra on the onset of the Mahabharata. When Arjuna asked Krsna (who agreed to be Arjuna's charioteer) to take the chariot to the middle of the armies to take a closer look, he became overwhelmed with sadness, fear and questions and unable to compose himself, he put his Gandiva bow down, forgetting his duty as a ksatriya.
After seeing Arjuna's condition, Lord Krsna reveals to Arjuna the confidential knowledge of Bhagavad-Gita, reminding him of his duty to protect dharma.
"After hearing Bhagavad-Gita from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Arjuna accepted Kṛṣṇa as Paraṁ Brahma, the Supreme Brahman. Every living being is Brahman, but the supreme living being, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the Supreme Brahman. Param dhāma means that He is the supreme rest or abode of everything, pavitram means that He is pure, untainted by material contamination, puruṣam means that He is the supreme enjoyer, divyam, transcendental, ādi-devam, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, ajam, the unborn, and vibhum, the greatest, the all-pervading". (Srila Prabhupada BG-Intro)
Srila Prabhupada & his mission
The mission of merciful and empowered souls when they descend on earth is to take pity on the living entities who are suffering in this material world and guide them back to their original home, back to Godhead where they can be eternally happy.
Such is the case of Srila Prabhupada, who at the age of 69 and carrying out the orders of his spiritual master, came to America in 1965 aboard of the cargo ship Jaladutta and in July of 1966, he established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Srila Prabhupada was born in Calcutta (Kolkata), India in 1896 in a Vaisnava family. In 1922, he met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami, who instructed him to devote his life to teaching Vedic knowledge, to preach Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's message to the English speaking world.
In 1959, he took sannyasa, the renouced order of life and at the Radha-Damodara temple started the translation and commentary of Srimad-Bhagavatam in English.
He instructed his disciples to follow in his footsteps and to continue preaching and spreading Krishna Consciousness all over the world.
Before his departure in 1977, he established 108 temples around the world, wrote sixty volumes of transcendental literature including: Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, Srimad Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrita, Nectar of Instruction, Sri Isopanisad, Teachings of Lord Kapila, Teachings of Queen Kunti and many other books. He initiated 5,000 disciples worldwide, founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, began a scientific academy (The Bhaktivedanta Institute) and other trusts related to ISKCON.
He wanted to create Spiritual Embassies where everyone would come and take shelter of Krishna, escaping the veil of Maya and to engage in the service of Krishna, to develop devotional service and love of God, Krishna-Prema.
To know more about our founder acharya, please visit http://www.vedabase.com/en/spl "We are trying to give people that happiness which will never be exhausted. That is our objective of happiness". Srila Prabhupada
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in Navadwipa (Mayapur) West Bengal, India 500 years ago and He is the combined form of Srimati Radharani and Krishna. He appeared in this form to experience the love of a devotee and to teach by example how to surrender to Krishna.
In different purports by Srila Prabhupada of Srimad Bhagavatam writes that "Lord Caitanya is Krishna Himself in the garb of a devotee of Krishna, and therefore the versions of both Lord Krishna and Sri Krishna Caitanya are identical. Lord Caitanya, therefore, should not be considered one of us. He is Krishna Himself, the supreme living entity and as such He nevers comes under the cloud of maya"
Caitanya Caritamrita confirms that in order to study Radharani, Krishna lived in Her role and tried to understand Himself. This is the secret of Lord Caitanya's incarnation. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna, but He has taken the mood and role of Radharani to show us how to love Krishna. Lord Caitanya's teachings begin from the point of surrender to Krishna.
In His mission, Lord Caitanya is accompanied by Lord Nityananda, Sri Advaita Acarya, Sri Gadadhara, Sri Srinivas (Pancha-tattva).
In Caitanya Caritamrita, Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Goswami describes Sri Panca-tattva as follows:
I offer my obeisances unto the Supreme Lord Krishna, who is non-different from His features as a devotee, devotional incarnation, devotional manifestation, pure devotee and devotional energy. CC.Adi.1.14
Caitanya Mahaprabhu – Radha-Krishna
Nityananda Prabhu – His Plenary expansion
Advaita Acarya – Lord Visnu (His incarnations)
Sri Gadadhara – His internal potency
Sri Srivasa – His marginal potency.
Srila Prabhupada instructed: "One should know that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always accompanied by these other tattvas. Therefore, our obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are complete when we say, sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is known as maha-vadanyavatara, the most magnanimous incarnation, for he does not consider the offenses of the fallen souls. Therefore, we must first take shelter of Sri Pancha-tattva and then chant Hare Krishna Maha-mantra. That will be very effective".
Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare
When we chant the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, we are addressing the energy of the Lord (Radha=Hara) to engage us in the service of the Lord. Krishna is the Energetic and Radha is His Energy. Energy and Energetic can never be separated. Chant and be happy!
Harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam
"In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way, there is no other way, there is no other way" CC. Adi.17.21

Caterpillar's Illinois offices searched by federal law enforcement
Reporter profile
More by Reuters
Posted Mar 2, 2017, 11:47 am
Federal law enforcement officials searched facilities of heavy machinery manufacturer Caterpillar Inc in Peoria, Illinois, on Thursday, and the company's stock tumbled.
It was not immediately clear why federal agents raided three Caterpillar locations.
Sharon Paul, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney Office for the Central District of Illinois, confirmed that federal law enforcement activity was conducted at three locations in Peoria, East Peoria and Morton.
The facility in Morton, according to the company's website, is responsible for receiving and shipping after-market parts to parts facilities and Cat dealers worldwide.
Caterpillar spokeswoman Corrie Scott said in an emailed statement that the company was cooperating with authorities.
"Law enforcement is present in various Peoria-area Caterpillar facilities executing a search warrant. Caterpillar is cooperating," Scott said. She declined to comment further.
Caterpillar shares were down more than 4 percent on the news.
The Peoria Journal Star newspaper reported that law enforcement officials were seen entering Caterpillar's headquarters. Some people were wearing jackets with the Internal Revenue Service logo, the report said.

The newspaper also said a placard in the window of one of the federal vehicles noted it was used by police from the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security Office of Export Enforcement.
The searches come a week after Caterpillar's outgoing chief executive, Douglas Oberhelman, met at the White House with President Donald Trump. Oberhelman joked with Trump about offering the president, who made his fortune as a real estate developer, one of the company's big D10 bulldozers.
"I love those D10s," Trump replied, before saying that Caterpillar's business was being hurt "when we raise the dollar, and we let other people manipulate their currencies."

Exclusive: Tim Berners-Lee tells us his radical new plan to upend the world wide web
Katrina Brooker:
Ever since revelations emerged that Facebook had allowed people's data to be misused by political operatives, Berners-Lee has felt an imperative to get this digital idyll into the real world. In a post published this weekend, Berners-Lee explains that he is taking a sabbatical from MIT to work full time on Inrupt. The company will be the first major commercial venture built off of Solid, a decentralized web platform he and others at MIT have spent years building.
If all goes as planned, Inrupt will be to Solid what Netscape once was for many first-time users of the web: an easy way in. And like with Netscape, Berners-Lee hopes Inrupt will be just the first of many companies to emerge from Solid.
"I have been imagining this for a very long time," says Berners-Lee. He opens up his laptop and starts tapping at his keyboard. Watching the inventor of the web work at his computer feels like what it might have been like to watch Beethoven compose a symphony: It's riveting but hard to fully grasp. "We are in the Solid world now," he says, his eyes lit up with excitement. He pushes the laptop toward me so I too can see.
On his screen, there is a simple-looking web page with tabs across the top: Tim's to-do list, his calendar, chats, address book. He built this app–one of the first on Solid–for his personal use. It is simple, spare. In fact, it's so plain that, at first glance, it's hard to see its significance. But to Berners-Lee, this is where the revolution begins. The app, using Solid's decentralized technology, allows Berners-Lee to access all of his data seamlessly–his calendar, his music library, videos, chat, research. It's like a mashup of Google Drive, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, Spotify, and WhatsApp.
The difference here is that, on Solid, all the information is under his control. Every bit of data he creates or adds on Solid exists within a Solid pod–which is an acronym for personal online data store. These pods are what give Solid users control over their applications and information on the web. Anyone using the platform will get a Solid identity and Solid pod. This is how people, Berners-Lee says, will take back the power of the web from corporations.
Hmm. Big intentions. Lot of inertia.
Facebook logs 90 million people out of their accounts after security breach • The Washington Post
Brian Fung:
The hackers were able to gain access to profile information, such as users' names, home towns and genders, Facebook said. They may have had access to more information, but Facebook said its investigation is in the early stages. No credit card information was exposed, Facebook executives said, and so far there is no evidence that the attackers sought to access private messages or post fraudulent messages from the accounts.
"This is a serious issue, and we're committed to addressing it," said Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. "This underscores that there are constant attacks from people who are trying to take over accounts or steal information from people in our community."
Facebook said it discovered the breach Tuesday after noticing a spike in user activity on Sept. 16., which prompted engineers to investigate. They found three interlocking bugs on Facebook's website that attackers had been using to gain access to accounts.
The attackers exploited Facebook's systems through a flaw in the company's "View As" feature, the company said, which allows a user to view his or her own profile as somebody else might see it.
Embedded in the "View As" feature was a video uploader that was incorrectly generating security tokens — pieces of code that, under normal circumstances, are designed to let a user remain logged in even after navigating away from Facebook's website.
The uploader being designed to let people send Happy Birthday messages. And those tokens, stolen, could let the hackers log into any service that used Facebook logins. The dangers of monoculture.
Use of internet, social media, digital devices plateaus in US • Pew Research Center
The shares of US adults who say they use the internet, use social media, own a smartphone or own a tablet computer are all nearly identical to the shares who said so in 2016. The share who say they have broadband internet service at home currently stands at 65% – nearly identical to the 67% who said this in a survey conducted in summer 2015. And when it comes to desktop or laptop ownership, there has actually been a small dip in the overall numbers over the last two years – from 78% in 2016 to 73% today.
A contributing factor behind this slowing growth is that parts of the population have reached near-saturation levels of adoption of some technologies. Put simply, in some instances there just aren't many non-users left. For example, nine-in-ten or more adults younger than 50 say they go online or own a smartphone. And a similar share of those in higher-income households have laptops or desktops.
Notice that dip in desktop/laptop use, while tablet use inched up. Although I suspect that tablets plus smartphones have consumed that gap in PC use.
If that's continued in two years' time, it'll be a clear trend. Check back in 2020!
Elon Musk steps down as Tesla's chairman in settlement with S.E.C. over go-private tweet • The New York Times
Matthew Goldstein:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the deal two days after it sued Mr. Musk in federal court for misleading investors over his post on Twitter last month that he had "funding secured" for a buyout of the electric-car company at $420 a share.
The deal with the SEC will allow him to remain as chief executive, something he could have jeopardized if he had gone to battle with the agency.
It is not clear why Mr. Musk changed his mind so quickly.
People familiar with the situation, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said lawyers for Mr. Musk and the company moved to reopen the talks with the SEC on Friday. During that time, one of Tesla's lawyers became instrumental in securing a deal with the SEC, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The whipsaw events of the past few days followed a series of self-inflicted wounds by Mr. Musk.
Basically, someone managed to calm Musk down for long enough to tell him that he was going to lose everything if he couldn't make a concession.
Wonder if they've managed to wrestle his Twitter account away from him.
Microsoft puts its touch-friendly Office apps for Windows 10 on hold • The Verge
Tom Warren:
Microsoft first started work on its touch-friendly Office apps for Windows 8.1 more than five years ago. Designed for tablets or laptops with touchscreens, the apps are lightweight and speedy versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Microsoft has updated them regularly for Windows 10, but now that the company has halted work on Windows 10 Mobile, it's also halting work on these Office apps.
The apps aren't fully dead yet, but Microsoft is no longer developing new features for them. "We are currently prioritizing development for the iOS and Android versions of our apps; and on Windows, we are prioritizing Win32 and web versions of our apps," explains a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge.
The reprioritization isn't all that surprising given the state of dedicated universal Windows apps on Windows 10 and the Microsoft Store. These touch-friendly versions of Office were once a great example of what developers could achieve if they made universal Windows apps, but Microsoft now lets developers simply package existing desktop apps and list them in the store.
Meanwhile, people are saying "Apple MUST release a touchscreen Mac or it is dead!" Nope. Wasn't true then, still isn't true. (Touch-free version of iOS apps, as in Marzipan ones, are a different matter.)
How America failed women • EAnd
Imair Haque:
American women are severely underrepresented in positions of power — so much that it's almost comical. America's one of the very, very few countries, by this point in history, which has never had a female head of state. Congress is 20% women, but society is 51% women. The Senate is also 20% women, but society is 51% women. Maybe you don't see my point. Let me make it crystal clear. In Sweden, parliament is 45% women. In Denmark, 40%. In France, 39%. In Germany, 37%. Do you see how stunning this difference is? In the rest of the rich world, women have twice as much political representation — they are almost to the point of true representational parity. But in America, women are not even half people yet, in terms of representational parity.
In fact, even in much poorer countries, women hold far more political power than American women do. In Mozambique and South Africa, women are 40% of legislators. In Vietnam, Mauritania, Kazakhstan, and Laos, 20%-30%. Do you know which country has the same number of women in political office as America? Pakistan. That's a grim place to be, my friends — let me make it sharper precisely why.
American patriarchy has been spectacularly, singularly successful in keeping power from women. In global terms, it is one of the most successful patriarchies of all — as successful, in the most crucial ways, as a place like Pakistan. Yes, really (no, Pakistani women don't have to wear niqabs, that's an American fairy tale.) That lack of rights has had very real consequences, the most significant of which is that American women simply don't hold much — or nearly enough — power in society. That was the point of refusing to ratify international conventions or constitutional amendments — not to give women rights, and therefore, to keep them relatively socially powerless.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the female Supreme Court Justice, was once asked how many women she thought should be on the court: "nine would be a good number," she replied. (Nine is the full complement.) For how long? "Oh, only as long as men have had a majority." (200-odd years.)
Hackers expose frailty of robots • Financial Times
Aliya Ram:
In 2017, Lucas Apa and Cesar Cerrudo, security researchers with the consultancy IOActive, showed that the version 2.5.5 of Pepper could be hacked through its software because of vulnerabilities that were discovered when it was connected to a network. They demonstrated that the robot could be controlled remotely, its limbs manipulated and its cameras used to spy on users.
Yet more than a year later, SoftBank has not patched the software, according to an analysis of its change logs by Mr Apa. He told the FT that the Japanese conglomerate had told him it could not fix the problem.
He says: "We were very disappointed by this answer, but we understand that with any new technology it is very hard for manufacturers to get the attention or investment [they need]."
SoftBank says that users were asked to maintain Wi-Fi network security and set robot passwords correctly. "We will continue to improve our security measures on Pepper, so we can counter any risks we may face," the company says.
Pepper is just one of several robots that Mr Apa and Mr Cerrudo tested last year. They found that others, including those manufactured by UBTech Robotics, Robotis, Universal Robots, Rethink Robotics and Asratec Corp, could be hacked too.
The matter has also been raised by Bundesnetzagentur, the telecoms watchdog in Germany, which last year told parents to destroy talking dolls called Cayla because hackers could use an unsecured Bluetooth device to make the toy reveal personal data.
Isn't this more like "hackers expose frailty of systems"? It's not particularly the robots.
Apple looks down on ads but takes billions from Google • Bloomberg
Shira Ovide:
In new research, [Goldman Sachs] estimated that about $9bn of Apple's expected 2018 services segment revenue — about one-quarter of the estimated total — has almost nothing to do with Apple itself.
Goldman estimated the $9bn is coming from Google, which pays Apple for the privilege of being the built-in search engine on Apple's Safari web browsers, on Siri and some other spots on Apple devices. Google constantly talks about the pile of money it's paying to Apple and others, 1 and Google investors track it fanatically. Apple, by contrast, never talks about its revenue stream from Google, and investors never seem to care about it. If Goldman's figure is correct, however, it should dent investors' beliefs about Apple's business transformation, and it calls into question Apple's moral proclamations about digital advertising.
Most estimates of Apple's revenue from Google are more like $3bn to $4bn a year rather than double or triple that figure. But it is true that in its recent financial reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Apple has listed "licensing" as the first in a short list of contributors to sales growth in its services segment. "Licensing" includes the money that Apple is collecting from its search contract with Alphabet Inc.'s Google and other sources, including a legal settlement with Samsung…
…give Apple credit for not itself employing an aggressive system to harvest personal information for advertising purposes. What if instead Apple is generating one-quarter of its services revenue from enabling Google's aggressive system of harvesting personal information for advertising purposes? Make no mistake — that is what Apple is doing by cashing those 10-figure checks from Google.
That feels worse, because Apple gets to collect a high-profit pile of money from the spoils of digital advertising without having to be accountable for the downsides of that digital advertising system. It's perfect, and perfectly hypocritical.
Neil Cybart, a former Wall St analyst, poured cold water on the $9bn figure (he puts all of Licensing as less than $4bn for all of 2017). As to the "harvesting personal information" – Google doesn't get location data from phones unless people directly consent. It can't grab peoples' information unless they consent. This contrasts starkly with Google tracking people on Android even when they ask it to stop.
What if everything we know about dark matter is totally wrong? • Wired
Katia Moskvitch:
Despite huge pots of money being poured since the 1970s into dark matter experiments on, under or above Earth, despite endless late nights spent doing calculations, and despite plenty of media coverage, researchers keep getting nowhere. Apart from SNOLAB, there is the LUX experiment in Lead, South Dakota, one mile underground in an abandoned gold mine. It has obtained zero results. In France, the EDELWEISS experiment in a lab under the French Alps, under 1.7 km of rock, has found nothing. The PandaX experiment in the Jin-Ping sub-terrain laboratory in China hasn't spotted any particles either. In India, Jaduguda Underground Science Laboratory opened last year, 550 meters below the surface at an operating uranium mine. So far, they have found nothing (well, they've only been looking for a year). And on, and on, and on.
The leading theory is that dark matter is made out of particles that interact with normal, atomic, matter or light only through gravity – by exerting a gravitational pull. SuperCDMS will be looking for a very specific type of such exotic particles, so-called WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles. That's the main (some say most obvious) dark matter candidate several detectors are searching for. Scientists are even trying to create these particles in the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva (which cost nearly $7bn to build). But all in vain.
So just how much longer can researchers justify that they are looking for something unknown and finding nothing, but still get away with asking for more money to look for nothing… just a little bit longer? Well, turns out that for the researchers who have devoted their whole life to dark matter, null results are ultra-important – nearly as important as finding something.
If we stopped looking for dark matter, what would happen to all the dark matter articles? I mean, we'd know that the desire to write them was out there, but how would we prove it existed?
Instagram is deciding the future of concerts, says LeRoy Bennett • Rolling Stone
Amy X Wang:
Artists these days have a new concern at the forefront of their minds when designing tours and concerts: how they look not just to live audiences — but also to millions, and potentially billions, of people at home. A chief driver of that worry is Instagram.
In the last year, the social media app has added 300 million monthly active users — doubling in size and bringing its total global user count to twice the size of the population of the United States. Of that immense user base, nearly half follow 10 or more verified musicians. And even more are making regularly posts and Instagram stories about music, with concerts a particularly popular photo and video subject. "A show no longer starts when the curtain rises," entertainment architect Ray Winkler, who designed Beyoncé and Jay-Z's On the Run II tour, told Rolling Stone earlier this summer. "The show starts the moment the first person takes a picture of it.
As Instagram continues on its explosive growth trajectory, artists are employing all sorts of tactics ranging from practical to outlandish to ramp up the visuals of their tours and the create the perfect "Instagram moment," says longtime concert designer LeRoy Bennett, who's produced iconic shows for Madonna, Prince, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney and a litany of other household names. Rolling Stone caught up with Bennett on how the trend is changing the concert industry — and where it will go from here.
Telling quote:
It can be a pain in the ass when it comes to the lighting side of things, because artists will look at these Instagrams and they get upset thinking that's how they looked during the show when someone just took a bad photograph.
Google's new 'Potential Trips' will plan a vacation for you • Condé Nast Traveler
Meredith Carey:
For two years, Google has been trawling through your emails for hotel bookings, flight reservations, train tickets, and more, packaging them up with a nice pretty bow in its Trips app. Now, it's taking that personal-assistant thing one step further: by helping you plan "potential trips" in the future, piecing together the on-and-off research you've been doing online, Richard Holden, Google's VP of product management, said at the Skift Global Forum in New York City this morning.
Since there are few details—it will launch on mobile in the U.S. in the "next few weeks"—Holden's own words can explain it best. "You may have done research on Google a trip to Milan, but you haven't actually booked it. We have all the research you've done—you may have starred things in Maps that you want to visit—so when you go back to Google, you'll see 'Upcoming trips' but you'll also see 'Potential trip to Milan,' which will show all of that recent research you've done, so you can pick up where you left off," he says…
…as Traveler's Brad Rickman wrote last year when new Trips features rolled out, it was nice to have a travel agent and partner that "actually knows something about [you]—has been there with [you], not just strolling alongside but paying attention."
That is what we want out of these assistants, isn't it? That they'll pay attention to what we do.
Forget viewability: your ads aren't serving • Ad Exchanger
Daniel Rosenblatt is in charge of Uber's "rider display marketing":
In late Q4, we launched a series of small rich-media-based mobile brand campaigns to dip our toes in the water and establish performance benchmarks. We ran the tests for a few days then reviewed the data. This health check uncovered some odd trends.
First, our click-through rates were almost zero. For in-app static 300x250s with impression and click trackers, we could sometimes see as high as 2% click-through rates (CTRs). But exciting, motion-enabled, dynamic ads were generating sub-0.10% CTRs. It just didn't make sense. On top of that, incrementality was completely flat across various short-term metrics.
Something was wrong. We were buying significant inventory across well-known, major exchanges, but it was as if our ads weren't being served at all.
When he looked into it, it turned out that publishers were saying their pages could accept any ad, even if they couldn't; and ad networks weren't bothering to check.
Upshot: Uber pulled all its ads from the networks that didn't bother to check. But clearly, there are tons of ads which aren't being shown. That saying about "50% of my money spent on advertising is wasted"? Still true online, it seems.

"The dangers of monoculture.". So, we've moved on from denouncing the horrors of fragmentation ? Though I agree in theory (biodiversity ftw !), in this type of cases it's more the utter lack on consequences for companies doing a crappy job at securing data (ours ? theirs ?) that's an issue. Regulate or nationalize !
re: Office touch: I think you're jumping to conclusions about a touch Mac being a Bad Thing because Windows-touch-Office has few customers. MS has other touch versions of Office, for Android and iOS. I think reading anything but the utter failure of Windows phones and (pure, not convertibles, not 2-in-1) tablets into MS's decision to de-emphasize touch Office is overreach. Also for the record, I strongly feel we need pointer-iOS first, not touch-MacOS. Though I've found myself trying to touch my Windows laptop's screen, so maybe touch would be nice there too. But I mostly want to stop having to support legacy OSes for incompetent and in-over-their-heads users who're happy with iOS/Android but want a comfy, big-screen, mouse/trackpad work computer.
Continuing on the "cynical" discussion. Couldn't "privacy first !" (???) Apple use duckduckgo or somesuch instead of Google ?
re Google planning trips for me: I'm still amazed at how bad Google's selection of ads, and Amazon's product recos, are for me (as in: I don't remember ever getting one I wanted to click on, and there' sno way to tell them want I'm looking for right now to help them be less dumb). So forgive me for chuckling at the idea of Google suggesting trips.
Plus lately, Google Maps has been flaky and I've switched to Nokia's Here We Go, which is not only not flaky, but better overall (UI especially, anecdotally also data).

Q: Debug ASP NET Core 2 in Docker in Visual Studio 2017 error I have a simpe ASP NET Core 2 app and tried to debug it using Docker. But when I hit F5 I get this error dialog box:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Debugging Error

The launch URL 'http://{ServiceHost}' is invalid.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

The app is running and I can just launch my browser manually to view it, but the dialog box and the lack of automation is kind of annoying. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this?

A: For launching project from docker in VS 2017. There are two options which is set asp.net core project as Startup project, and choose Docker to debug, another is adding docker-compose project, and launch from docker-compose project.
If you mean first one, you could follow steps below to change launch url.
Asp.Net Core project->Properties->launchSettings.json->change `launchUrl` in docker node with your valide value.

If you mean second one, it will launch the web browser by the Service URL in docker-compose Property Pages. You could check Service URL by right click docker-compose project and click Properties.
Option1:
Changes the Service URL with your expected value.
Options2:
Define your like below which specifying the prots
version: '3.4'

services:
webapplication2:
environment:
  - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
  - ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:443;http://+:80
