Via the Witch Cycling Track through the Czech-Polish border areas - Guide
Colour of the trail marking on the Polish side: black
Total length: 233 km (95 km on the Polish side, 138 km on the Czech side)
Route: Paczków – Pomianów Dolny - Lubiatów – Ligota Wielka – Sarnowice – Otmuchów – Ulanowice – Grądy – Rysiowice – Karłowice Wielkie – Słupice – Nowaki – Radzikowice – Sękowice – Nysa – Konradowa – Wyszków Śląski – Niwnica – Domaszkowice – Wierzbięcice – Kępnica – Hajduki Nyskie – Stary Las – Nowy Las – Charbielin – Jarnołtówek – Skowronków – Konradów – Głuchołazy – Zlaté Hory – Rejvíz – Česká Ves – Jeseník – Vernířovice – Sobotín – Velké Losiny – Rapotín – Šumperk – Mírov – Mohelnice
"The Witch Track" on the Czech side was created in 2006 and its originator was Jeseniky – Tourist Association. In 2009, to the order of County Administrator's Office in Nysa, in the framework of the "Via the Witch Cycling Track through the Czech-Polish border areas" project under the Czech Republic-Poland Cross-border Cooperation Operational Programme (POWT), the trail on the Polish side was laid out and marked (the trail was laid out and marked by Kazimierz Staszków, the excursionist from the PTTK (Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society) in Nysa). Additionally, 10 informational boards relating to the history of the witch trials in the Polish-Czech border area were placed along the Polish section of the trail, and a guidebook with map was issued. An important element of the project was making the permanent museum exposition connected with the witch trials in the Museum in Nysa. In 2010, County Administrator's Office in Nysa and the Cycle Touring Club "Ktukol" from Głuchołazy (originator Eligiusz Jędrysek) established the Regional Tourist Cycle Badge "Via the Witch Track" with two ranks. Rules of the badge and terms and conditions for earning the badge are available on the websites of Nysa County: www.powiat.nysa.pl and KTK Ktukol www.ktukol.pl.
The Witch Track starts in Paczków, at the Executioner's House, in which the "Executioner's Chamber" is, which is a kind of open-air museum reconstructing the chamber of the executioner of Paczków.
Paczków - the city founded in the early thirteenth century. In 1254, a fortified castle, protecting the Duchy of Nysa and Otmuchów against Czechs and duchies of Silesia. The city was founded on the Flemish law and along with the act of foundation, it received a number of privileges (among others the right to brew beer). A city with a classic, medieval street layout, surrounded by around a 1200 metres stone walls with 19 shell bastions. The fortifications of Paczków, to this day, are one of the best preserved city fortifications in Poland. The entrance to the renaissance part of the city is protected by gate towers of: Kłodzko, Wrocław (currently observation), Ziębice, and later, renaissance one, of Nysa. The fortification complex makes Paczków to be called the "Polish Carcassonne". Other monuments include: the town hall with 48 metre high renaissance tower built by order of the Bishop Bartazar von Promnitz in the mid-sixteenth century, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical houses, St. John the Evangelist Church from the fourteenth century, which is an example of a Gothic defence temple with a unique church well called the "Tartar" well, and the Executioner's House (now Tourist Information Centre), built from the Prussian wall. One of the biggest attractions of the city the Museum of Gas Industry with a unique collection of gas meters.
Pomianów Dolny – the village mentioned in 1261, until the mid-eighteenth century, belonged to the Duchy of Nysa, now, it is situated in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. The most important facilities: St. Francis Xavier's Church, built in the Baroque style, and in 1803, rebuilt to the Classical style, in front of the church the late Baroque figure of St. John of Nepomuk of the nineteenth century, the nineteenth century chapels by the roads, the ruins of the baroque palace of the eighteenth century with the ruins of mausoleum of the late nineteenth century, a complex of a former mill of the nineteenth century – now, a warehouse and a fodder factory.
Lubiatów – the village mentioned in 1335, with a valuable collection of monuments: Sts. Lawrence and Nicholas' Church mentioned in 1302, in its place, partially using its fragments, in the second half of the eighteenth century, a stately, late Baroque building was built, there is a Gothic bell of 1497 in the tower of the church, and in the wall surrounding the church, there is a penitential cross. Near the church are the ruins of the Renaissance manor house of around 1600, rebuilt in around the half of nineteenth century. There are also many shrines and roadside crosses preserved in the village. Outside the village, by the road to the north-east, there is a penitential cross.
Ligota Wielka – the village mentioned in 1261. In the 30's of the twentieth century, due to the construction of the Otmuchowskie Lake, the lower part of the village was deluged. During World War II, a small labour camp for Yugoslavian prisoners. In the village, there is the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows of 1929, referring to the Baroque architecture, with replica of Michelangelo's Pieta.

Otmuchów - the history of the city, and especially its beginnings, connect inseparably with the history Silesia and the bishops of Wrocław. Already in 1155, there was a castellany, mentioned in the Papal Bull of Wrocław, which developed into the Otmuchów City, founded on the Flemish Law in 1374. Until 1810, it remained in the hands of the bishops of Wrocław and was part of the Bishop's Duchy of Nysa. Repeatedly invaded and destroyed by Hussites, what resulted in a loss of many fortifications and the need of transfer the collegiate to the nearby Nysa. Otmuchów has never become a major urban centre, due to damages caused by the Silesian wars and the neighbourhood of Nysa and Paczków. Its boom is connected with the interwar period, when the near build water reservoir attracted many people and formed the city a tourist centre. While in Otmuchów, note the interesting architecture and precious, historical buildings. One of the most important is the Gothically-renassiance bishop's castle. In the second half of the seventeenth century, the castle was converted into a baroque residence of the bishops of Wrocław. A remnant of this reconstruction among others include unique "horse stairs" in the indoor staircase. Partially destroyed during Silesia wars, it was rebuilt once again in the mid-nineteenth century by Wilhelm Humbolt. Before World War II, adapted for the tourism purposes, serves the role to this day. Another valuable monument of Otmuchów is a Renaissance Town Hall, built in 1538, founded by Bishop Jacob von Salza. Its current look dates from 1817. In the corner of the Town Hall, there are sundials from 1575, funded by Bishop Martin Gerstmann, which bear two coats of arms: of the city and bishops'. Sacred architecture is also remarkable, which is represented by among others: Baroque Church of Sts. Nicholas and Francis Xavier with Michael Willmann's paintings and Charles Dankwart's polychromes, neo-Gothic St. Anna's Cemetery Church, or Marian Column made by Anthony Jorg in 1734 that stands in the main square of Otmuchów. The remains of the medieval city walls is the Gothic tower gate, preserved to the present day, called the "Nysa Tower" or the "Sparrow Tower", which once was the city prison is.
The fact that the city had its executioner is showed by the unique monument of the "executioner's wife" – the column standing at 1 May St. Blurred inscription reads: "I, Christopher Kuhn, the executioner, ordered to build for eternal glory of God, in honour of Anne Catherine Helbranin, my wife and housekeeper". Since 1620, there has been a torture chamber in Otmuchów, and the executioner belonged to the guild in Nysa. The first executioner was Wolf Bohmichen. The profession was passed through many generations, from father to son, until the mid-nineteenth century. Two families in Otmuchów lived off this craft.
Ulanowice – old Slavic village founded before 1300 on the Polish Law. There is a palace complex consisting of a Baroque palace, a manor, and a park with a Baroque column from 1724 topped with the statue of Christ.

The palace is surrounded by the park from the nineteenth century, with mausoleum from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The palace is a private property and is not accessible to the public.
Karłowice Wielkie – the village mentioned in 1244 as villa Karlouicz. There is the St. Mary Magdalene's Church belonging to the most valuable in the region. The original was mentioned in 1244, the present, Baroque, built in 1758. The interior has a rich Baroque and Rococo décor and furnishings.

Heather Fairley was born in Huntly hospital in 1987.
The daughter of Natalia and Francis, Heather was a very sickly child. Despite numerous trips backwards and forwards to the hospital, doctors were very slow to pick up any issues. However, there is nothing stronger than a mother's intuition and Natalia Fairley kept on insisting something was not right.
Finally, doctors ran tests. It was soon discovered Heather had seven holes in her tiny heart. She was immediately sent to Greenlane Hospital's Cardiology ward.
Heather was diagnosed with Multiple ventricular septal defects and Ventricular Ectopy. Doctors also discovered Heather had Aicard syndrome, a rare genetic condition that occurs almost exclusively in women. Aicardi syndrome is characterized by the partial or complete absence of a key structure in the brain called the corpus callosum, the presence of retinal abnormalities, and seizures in the form of infantile spasms.
At the age of 7 years, Heather underwent surgery to close the holes in her heart.
After completing school, Heather worked as a receptionist at Heart Kids for two years. She then went on to complete her NZ Certificate in Skills for living at UNITEC in Auckland.
While she still battles with heart issues Heather doesn't let them get in the way of living a normal life. She has now returned to Heart Kids, volunteering in the Auckland office.


Abortion providers and abortion rights advocacy groups sued Texas to overturn dozens of the state's abortion laws.
AUSTIN — Abortion providers and abortion-rights advocacy groups sued Texas on Thursday, seeking to overturn dozens of the state's abortion regulations, some of which are decades old.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Austin, argues that state lawmakers have slowly worked to "chip away at abortion access" by passing incremental legislation that slowly increases "the burdens faced by people seeking to end their pregnancies."
"Abortion patients and providers now face a dizzying array of medically unnecessary requirements that are difficult, time-consuming, and costly to navigate — sometimes prohibitively so," the lawsuit reads.
The sweeping legal challenge targets laws requiring women to have a sonogram 24 hours before a scheduled abortion and others that regulate parental consent for a minor who wants the procedure.
The lawsuit also challenges laws that prevent doctors from using telemedicine services to prescribe medical abortions or offer counseling required ahead of a procedure.
Marc Rylander, spokesman for the Texas Attorney General's Office, said abortion providers have been complying with the laws challenged in the lawsuit for years.
Stephanie Toti, lead attorney in the case filed Thursday.
Recent legal challenges to abortion laws in Texas have centered on a single law or regulation, with attorneys spending hours in court arguing over a specific turn of phrase or the conversations lawmakers had when they adopted the proposal.
Thursday's lawsuit takes a different approach.
Stephanie Toti, the lead attorney on the case, said the new tactic seeks to confront several obstacles at once.
"It's not just that patients have to deal with waiting periods and it's not just that they're prohibited from using telemedicine to access abortion care," Toti said in an interview. "It's not just that they have to travel long distances because there are restrictions on who can provide abortion care. It's not just that doctors have to exaggerate the risks of abortion care to patients.
"It's all of these things together that patients have to deal with," she said. "We want to expose that system."
The lawsuit cites a 2016 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that struck down House Bill 2, which was adopted by Texas lawmakers in 2013. The law required abortion clinics to meet hospital-like standards and have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. The high court found that it created an undue burden for women trying to have an abortion.
Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of the Whole Woman's Health Alliance (the lead plaintiff in Thursday's lawsuit and in the 2016 case), said the Supreme Court's decision in 2016 "paved the way" for the latest legal challenge to Texas' abortion laws.
"Our historic win in June 2016 affirmed that people should be able to get an abortion with the respect and dignity they deserve, and without medically unnecessary barriers," she said. "(The) majority decision clearly stated that politicians can't just claim their anti-abortion restrictions improve women's health and safety. They must prove, using medical fact and scientific evidence, that the benefit of any restriction must outweigh its real-life impact on the people trying to access care."
Toti, who also was the lead attorney in the 2016 case, said the latest lawsuit is the first step in starting to dismantle the system of laws Texas has enacted over the years.
She said they decided to challenge laws that impact the greatest number of people and those that, when enforced simultaneously, create harsher restrictions than when enforced on their own.
"Texas has so many restrictions on abortion and they've built up over such a long period of time that it's impossible to bring one lawsuit to challenge all of them," she said. "These laws weren't enacted in a day and we're not going to dismantle them in a day."
The plaintiffs in Thursday's case are the Whole Woman's Health Alliance, the Afiya Center, Fund Texas Choice, the Lilith Fund, the Texas Equal Access Fund, the West Fund and Dr. Bhavik Kumar, an abortion provider who works in Texas.

Our Clothes are Getting Smarter
WearablesFeature
Clothes have done much more than serve as protection from the weather for tens of thousands of years. Over the last few millennia they've been worn as statements of rank and fashion, adapted for countless specialised uses from military combat to surfing and bee-keeping, cut and tailored in every conceivable shape, colour, size and fabric, and become signposts for entire cultures.
Along the way clothing manufacture has embraced and developed many new innovations, and it seems a natural progression for micro-electronics and other emerging 21st century technologies to find their way into our wardrobes next to the zip-off tracksuit pants and the Moon-boots. The result: clothes are getting smarter.Smart clothing will both enhance its primary role as body covering and extend its functionality to keep us connected, entertained, relaxed, safe and healthy. Fabrics and designs with built in temperature control mechanisms will merge with invisible add-ons like mobile phones and MP3 players, sophisticated medical monitoring systems integrated into shirts will save lives and clothes may even provide us with our daily vitamin supplement.
Keeping us warmer
Developments in temperature control technology include Airvantage Adjustable Insulation from Gore. This system utilises the exceptional insulation properties of trapped air by including a layer of inflatable chambers within the fabric that can be filled with air when its cold or deflated when less insulation is needed. It takes about three breaths to inflate the Airvantage vest via the adjustment valve and there's a psychological benefit in wearing a thicker garment despite its lightweight. The downside is the danger of tears or punctures. There's a repair kit available just in case.In an example of the crossover between traditional streetwear and high-tech applications, Gore, best known through their Goretex waterproof camping products, also utilise fluoropolymer materials for surgical implants, industrial filtration, dental floss and as an insulator for high-speed wire and cable. In terms of high-tech fabric, Gores latest light-weight "Wind Stopper" line is designed to be worn next to the skin and uses four distinct layers to draw moisture away from the skin and promotes quick evaporation - another step towards a Star Trek inspired future where everyone wears jumpsuits all year round.Adidas have also launched a new moisture management system based on a layering principle that draws moisture away from the skin.
The Clima Apparel range includes different grades of weather protection and temperature management. Microfibre garments keep the wearer cool while exercising by dispersing heat away from the body's critical heat zones and highly insulated garments use the same system but also trap the heat in for extreme conditions. Nike's approach to the issue is slightly different. Their Sphere technology uses a series of circular indents in the fabric to create the air cavity critical to the design of garments for a variety of purposes.Another tact is taken by the North Face - their MET5 Jacket integrates a heater into the clothing.
Though never released in Australia, the MET5 has been on the market in the US since January 2001 and utilises a battery driven heat source to generate warmth through a network of microscopic conductive fibre elements woven into the jacket. The control unit is located in the chest pocket so it can be adjusted without unzipping the jacket. The system can be recharged via maintain a 12-volt car cigarette lighter or solar charger and once the battery is removed, the jacket is fully washable.
Health conscious gear
Clothes are also starting to address health issues. Levi Strauss plan to launch anti-handset radiation trousers - aimed at protecting the wearer from the possible health risks of EMF radiation from mobile phones - under their "Dockers" label in the UK next year. In Germany scientists at the Hohenstein Institute Textile Research Center have developed shirts that ease rheumatism pain via a built-in balm along with tights that feed vitamins A, B and C directly into the legs (complete with replaceable vitamin tablets) and a fabric that combats dermatitis.
In Japan, scientists are investigating possible applications for an inflatable muscle suit that could be used to improve limited movement and, according to Annanova, researchers at Texas A&M University and Penn State Chemical Engineering are going to the next level of adornment with a smart "tattoo" capable of warning diabetics of low glucose levels.
Continuous, real-world medical monitoring is already possible through the Vivometrics LifeShirt system. Instead of the limited "snapshot" of health derived from a standard examination, the system measures more than 30 parameters of cardiopulmonary function during a patient's normal daily activities and provides the clinician with a far more comprehensive analysis. This "health movie", as Vivometrics describes it, gives insights into the interrelation between the patient's state of mind and their condition as well as the effects of any medication being used.
LifeShirt's core technology is the respiratory monitoring system Respitrace, which is embedded into the 225g washable "shirt" along with other sensors. A recording device is used to store the data before its processed, analysed and summarised for display in a number of formats and optional peripheral devices are available to measure blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. The system has been approved by and is commercially available in the E.U. and Canada. Although VivoMetrics is not currently selling the system in Australia, they plan to market it here in the future.
Computerised Clothing
It's hard to tell where wearable computers end and computerised clothes begin - Gizmag has looked at some of the latest innovations in previous issues including the Xybernaut head-up display system (see article 1163 at gizmag.com), and the Philips/Nike collaboration on portable audio players designed to be worn during athletic activity.
Perhaps the first example of wearable computing or WearComp was invented by Dr. Steve Mann at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After two decades of research Mann first demonstrated the "Wearable Wireless Webcam" in 1994 by transmitting images from a head-mounted analog camera to base station via amateur TV frequencies where they were reconstructed in a web browser in near real-time.Mann is accredited with providing the basis for the MIT Wearable Computing Project which now includes Mithril, a leading platform in next generation research that will shape the wearable computers of the future. Undertaken at the MIT Media Lab to develop completely new techniques for interfacing with computers, the research is being conducted on a broad front embracing human interaction, artificial intelligence, hardware engineering and software development for health and communications applications.
Components envisioned by the project include a vest containing multiple CPU cores for storage and wireless connectivity and a "Body Bus" which supports a wide range of sensors including cameras, microphones and custom equipment such as GPS receivers, accelerometers and biosensors aimed at boosting the key research goals of the project: human-computer interaction and context awareness that will enhance the computer's ability to measure the surrounding environment and react accordingly.
The research is also being applied to smaller wearable platforms like sunglasses. The "Memory Glasses" reminder system is designed to out-perform PDAs because reminders are associated with context - where you are and what you are doing - making it a proactive rather than passive system that will know what to do when you get into the car or arrive at the office.
The vest prototype pictured appears heavy with wiring as it was created before Bluetooth and other reliable wireless solutions were operational. Advances in wireless technology will obviously impact on the design but their will still be power-supply and privacy issues that may be difficult to overcome in the near future without the use of hard wiring. Mithril is an architectural project developed on the Linux platform and as such doesn't have a specific product or market in its sights. Lord of the Rings fans might recognise the word play - the vest that saves the hero Frodo's from an Orc spear in the Mines of Moria is made from a magical substance called mithril.
Wearable displays have already gone in other directions that head-up systems and wired sunglasses. France Telecom R&D has invented a screen made of woven optical fibres that can be integrated with standard textiles. This mean's that your t-shirt, scarf or backpack will enable text, artwork, static or animated images, music videos and advertising logos - probably the most viable market entry point for the technology - to be downloaded and viewed on an in-built screen that will also act as a wireless interface to communications networks like the internet. A prototype design unveiled the Avantex 2002 international trade show is intended to attract interest from various sectors including emergency services, the media automotive manufacturers and furniture designers.
The ultimate goal of this research is to combine high-level voice recognition with the visual component to produce true "hands-free" connectivity and do away with any need to carry a mobile or PDA - you just wear it.
Voice recognition development at France Telecom R&D is highlighted by the "phone jacket" concept. Currently in testing, the prototype features a lightweight (100 g), flat telephone sewn into the jacket's lining and a microphone in the collar. The user can dial using voice commands or access a keypad in the button flap but otherwise the device is hidden from view.In addition to its collaboration with Nike on wearable MP3's and performance monitoring electronics targeted at athletes, Philips' Design and Research arms have released "New Nomads", an illustration of potential applications for new textile technology.
These include "No Kidding" - interactive clothing for children that gives parents piece of mind via on-board mobile phone and mini-cam and enhances playtime for kids by creating scenarios like virtual hide-and-seek where kids can digitally track their friends - and "In the Mix", which will allow DJ's to escape from behind the desk and participate with the audience while still controlling the beats through fully wearable controls.
Sensors in "e-clubwear" as it's called, might also give the audience a chance to "feel back on the DJ", interacting through lights and sounds, but hopefully not destroying the ambience in the process.This emphasis on relaxation as well as information is best displayed by the New Nomads "Feels Good" kimono that contains a conductive fibres able to relax the wearer by sending small electrostatic charge into the body. Levels of stimulation are controlled by a device inside the pocket or are adjusted automatically based on feedback from bio-sensors measuring the degree of relaxation.
The JoyDress or VibraDress by Italian stylist Dr. Alexandra Fede is another feel-good application to emerge from Avantex 2002. Designed as an evening or career dress, the garment conceals a series of flexible "vibrapads" that can be user controlled or activated randomly to massage, relax and promote a feeling of well-being.
No matter what guise they take on, Smart Clothes will soon become the rule, not the exception. According research from the Venture Development Corporation (VDC), the wearable computer market is expected to top $US550 per annum worldwide in 2005, up from an estimated US$70 million in 2001. This is supported by findings from Gartner Research indicating that 60 % of the population in developed countries are likely to own a communicating garment by 2010.

Mayor Bill de Blasio launched a major push last weekend to overhaul the admissions process at some of New York City's most elite high schools, rekindling a fierce debate about race, high school admissions, and affirmative action.
Why is the mayor trying to change the admissions process at the city's top high schools?
The city's most prestigious "specialized" high schools, often described as the crown jewels of the system, are starkly segregated by race.
Though 67 percent of the city's public school students are black or Hispanic, just 10 percent of offers to attend specialized high schools go to black or Hispanic students. This year, 10 black students were offered admission to the famed Stuyvesant High School — out of 902 offers.
Meanwhile, white and Asian students tend to be overrepresented: 52 percent of offers went to Asian students this year (16 percent of the city's students are Asian). And roughly 27 percent of offers went to white students (15 percent of city students).
Many of the city's high schools are racially segregated — not just specialized schools. But unlike other selective schools, eight specialized high schools are the only ones that admit students based on a single standardized test, known as the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT).
What is the city planning to do about it?
When Bill de Blasio ran for mayor in 2013, he advocated for scrapping the admissions test as a way of making the schools more racially balanced.
Instead, the mayor took smaller steps that were supposed to help underrepresented students do better on the test: The city expanded public test prep programs, offered the test during the school day in some middle schools, and boosted outreach. Those changes have failed to increase the share of black and Hispanic students enrolling at specialized high schools.
Over the weekend, de Blasio announced a more aggressive two-part plan. The first part would reserve 20 percent of spots at each specialized school for low-income students whose test scores put them just below the admissions cutoff.
A version of that program, called Discovery, has existed since the 1970s, and de Blasio has expanded it significantly in recent years. But since economic status is not a perfect substitute for race, the program has helped more low-income white and Asian students gain admission than black or Hispanic ones.
By the city's own estimates, that would have a modest effect, increasing black and Hispanic student enrollment to 16 percent, up from about 9 percent.
The second — and more significant — element of the plan would eliminate the single admissions test in favor of a system where the top students at every middle school would be guaranteed a spot at a specialized high school.
The top 7 percent model should boost diversity because the city's middle schools are so racially segregated. Since top students at every middle school would be guaranteed a seat, middle schools that predominantly serve black and Hispanic students would begin sending more of their students to specialized high schools.
Under that proposal, 45 percent of offers to specialized schools would go to black and Hispanic students once the plan is fully phased in, according to city projections, a big jump from the 9 percent of those students who currently enroll, but still far from representative of the rest of the public school system.
Under the most optimistic circumstances, the plan will fully take effect in seven years, once the SHSAT is phased out over three years and a full group of high school students have been admitted under the new admissions system.
The mayor's plan to set aside 20 percent of seats at specialized high schools will take effect next school year, and only requires action from the education department, which the mayor controls.
Powerful alumni groups and some state legislators have already begun lining up against the proposal to eliminate the SHSAT, which could derail the most effective element of the mayor's plan. Less than 24 hours after the mayor's press conference announcing the plan, Asian-American advocacy groups held an event protesting the plan.


There's something transformative about the change of seasons. New schedules, wardrobes, energy. Take hair, for example. As fall approaches, our clients are looking for a makeover, a super cool new look. For some, this involves some pretty significant changes in length, color, and style…and a challenge for stylists.
We all have one. Face shape is determined by the shape of the skull and the hairline – not body weight. The "perfect" face shape is an oval shape and that is the ultimate goal when creating shapes in haircut and hairstyle. So what kind of face shape do you have?

Humphrey Bogart meets Jay-Z in a gritty and darkly comic whodunit hip hop opera. Incubator Theatre presents The City, a mesmerising musical tale of vanity, lust and murder. The City is a contemporary crime fable written entirely in rhyme and performed as one continuous song (in English) combining rap, hip hop and spoken word with theatrical and poetic texts. Inspired by black music, hardboiled fiction and 50's detective films it offers drama, comedy, razor-sharp wordplay and clever staging in equal measure. Joe is a cynical and bitter private detective working in a corrupt and decaying city. One stormy night, a young mysterious woman enters his office and convinces him to start an investigation into the strange disappearance of her sister; a decision that could cost him his life. This sharp and fast paced production includes elements of film noir, rap, hip hop, beat boxing and operatic style sung dialogue, all woven through a riveting murder mystery starring small-time detectives, sultry singers and hard-hitting policemen. The City was written and created by Amit Ulman, Omer Havron, and Omer Mor, members of The Victor Jackson Show ensemble, a popular Israeli hip hop group, under the wing of Incubator Theatre. The production is directed by Amit Ulman, with music by Omer Mor, and performed by its three creators, along with Dorit Lilien and Roni Rocket. The musical arrangements use some unusual, minimalistic instruments including beatbox and vocal percussion, a metal bin, an upturned-plastic-tub-turned-drum and chopsticks, together with darbuka drum, classical guitar and keyboard.

Elections not enough? We also need referendums

A couple of weeks ago, Zurich opened its first drive-through sex boxes. These were built by the state to provide prostitutes a clean and safe environment to work from and to move prostitution out of the main streets of Zurich. The project cost the state $2.1 million to install and $749,000 to run annually. The residents of Zurich are generally supportive of the government's decision, which was based on a referendum.
A referendum is an interesting tool that democracies can choose to utilize. In a referendum, the electorate can support or oppose a policy proposal. When democracy first flourished in classical Athens, it was a system of direct democracy where all eligible citizens were allowed to directly participate in policy crafting. As countries got larger, more diverse and complex, democracy adapted to its most common present form, a representative democracy. In a representative democracy the electorate chooses its leaders and representatives in regular elections.
In the mid-800s the Swiss added the ability to hold referendums into their state and federal constitutions.
Many countries have since used referendums to decide on critical national issues. Even Singapore held a referendum regarding the decision to join the Malayan Federation. The Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD) did a study on the use of referendums in Asia. The study covered 35 countries in Asia including Australia and New Zealand. Singapore was classified as "a country that is quite unfriendly to initiatives and referenda". This put Singapore together with countries such as China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and North Korea.
In the last decade the Singapore government has had to make many critical decisions that have in some instances contradicted earlier policy stances. A prime example would be the decision to allow casinos. When the idea of opening a casino had been previously mooted, the government took a very strong stance against it. Mr. Lee Kuan Yew famously said that there would only be a casino in Singapore over his dead body.
The government had highly charged debates regarding the decision. Many PAP members spoke against casinos. Religious leaders united to petition the government to reconsider the decision. Many economists, on the other hand, spoke about the economic benefits of casinos. The issue was debated online and offline, in coffeshops and swanky bars. The decision to allow casinos was seen as a wholehearted embrace of capitalism and the final nail in the coffin of our socialist past.
Did the government ever consider holding a referendum on this matter? After all the debates in parliament and the media, could the government have not called on the citizens to make the final decision? Today many people accuse the government of having disregarded public opinion and taken a unilateral decision to allow casinos. A referendum would have ensured the outcome reflected the views of the majority.
The government has in recent months talked about the "silent majority". The decision to embark on "Our Singapore Conversation" was meant to capture their voice. What better way to make them heard than through a referendum?
If the government does decide to seriously consider using referendums to give Singaporeans a greater say, we have to be cautious. We cannot resort to a referendum every time a controversial or politically challenging decision needs to be made. We should only conduct a referendum on issues that affect the threads that bind the fabric of our city-state. The government should allow the citizenry the ability to initiate a referendum but should ensure that requirements are sufficient but not excessively onerous. Many countries that hold referendums cloak their options in political and technical jargon making the average citizen feel that there is only one feasible choice. Singapore should ensure that referendums do not become tools that political parties can capture. The citizens should be presented with a simple choice; Yes or No.
A current issue that could be decided through a referendum would be, whether Section 377(A) of the penal code should be repealed. This is an issue that is very personal and important to various groups in society. There are the LGBT activists who want it repealed and more conservative groups who believe that we as a society are not ready to decriminalize homosexuality. The two major political parties have not taken a very strong stand on the issue. It is not a very political issue but has to do with our social values. It would be great if the people were allowed to make an informed decision. At the end of the day the argument made against any possible repeal is that the majority of Singaporeans are not that accepting of homosexuality.

Our newest and most advanced plasma screens will arrive towards the end of Summer - a line up of 'HD ready' 42 and 50-inch plasma TVs which incorporate a completely new screen and with integrated video processing and TV tuner.
PDP-4270XA'Out-of-the-box' 42-inch plasma TVs: simply unpack, plug-in and play. You have the option of either the PDP-4270XA with an integrated analogue tuner, or the PDP-4270XD with a combined analogue/digital (DVB-T) tuner.
Both plasmas include integrated under-mounted speakers, HDMI input and detachable table-top stand.
A series of 42 and 50-inch models, also with integrated video processing and tuner, but with enhanced connectivity - 2 HDMI inputs and PC input - and advanced picture adjustment features, including picture-in-picture options and further advanced ISF calibration capabilities.
PDP-507XDHere, your options include two 42-inch plasma TVs; the PDP-427XA with integrated analogue tuner or the PDP-427XD with combined analogue/DVB-T tuner.
Two 50-inch plasma TVs are available, including the PDP-507XA with integrated analogue tuner or the PDP-507XD with combined analogue/DVB-T tuner. On the 50-inch models, speakers are optional - the 42 inch models have integrated under-mounted speakers.
The PUREBlack 2 Panel has a new Dielectric Layer, which considerably improves light emission efficiency, and an evolved Direct Colour Filter 2, which improves contrast in a bright room environment by reducing reflections - both from the outside of the panel and from the panel itself.
Additionally, the 7G panels now feature an Intelligent DRE (Dynamic Range Expansion) mode which continuously monitors the incoming video and performs real-time analysis of sharpness, contrast and the low light areas in order to optimally adjust the picture.
A new Intelligent Colour Mode also continuously analyses the picture using a unique algorithm, and adjusts the setting for natural colour reproduction, whether these are vivid greens or natural skin tones.
An advanced AV Sports Selection mode gives further versatility by automatically optimising high contrast, low black level, green correction tint and fast-moving images; specifically designed for track and field event watching.
Further adjustments to the picture can be made using Colour Zone Mapping. This easily allows users to change between the EBU-defined colour space or, for more vivid and bright colour reproduction, the extended colour gamut defined by the plasma TVs characteristics.
A new Block Noise Reduction feature effectively detects and minimises all MPEG noise, thereby improving the digital picture quality of especially HDTV broadcasts, where block noise happens most.
All 7G plasmas are fitted with at least one HDMI terminal supporting up to 1080/24p video format, the perfect digital film format that will be available on selected Blu-ray Discs.
Although the 7G screens feature subtle cosmetic enhancements, the new line-up will share what has now become Pioneer's trademark sleek piano black frame with matt aluminium surround.
An optional single under-mounted speaker or conventional side-mounted speakers are available for the 50-inch models. All 42-inch models have built-in under-mounted speakers.
Installation options include static and angled wall-mounted brackets, a swivel table-top stand in silver or complemented black finish, fixed table-top stand and two floor stands. Both the PDP-4270XDE and PDP-4270XA included a detachable table top stand.

Q: twinx non-linear mapping between shared y axes on a plot in matplotlib I have some 3d data that I am plotting with pcolormesh.
On the x-axis is time, on the y-axis is height.
The height has a potential (E) associated with it, but the mapping from height (y) to potential (E) is non-linear.
I want to add an axis on the right hand side of my figure showing the potential that is correct based on the values on the left hand side. I do not particularly care about the left and right ticks lining up (as is the case in this solution). If anything 'nice number' ticks on the right axis would be useful.
I have tried setting the ylim of the top and bottom points as per the celsius-farenheit example in the matplotlib docs, but this assumes a linear scale between the start and end point which is not the case here.
Finally I tried using a funcformatter, but the scaling for the potential requires two external constants to be given, and I can't find a way that constants can be passed to a funcformatter.
So far my code looks like:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

time = np.arange(0.0, 11.0, 1.0)
y = np.arange(0.0, 11.0, 1.0)
data = np.random.randint(1,100, size=(11,11))

fig,ax=plt.subplots(1,1)

im=ax.pcolormesh(time,y,data,shading='nearest')
ax.set_xlabel('time')
ax.set_ylabel('height')
ax.set_ylim(y.min(),y.max())

ax_E = ax.twinx()
ax_E.set_ylabel('Potential E')

plt.savefig('test.png')

Currently the right hand y axis has a linear scale from 0 to 1.0.
I would like this replacing with a scale showing the potential correct according to the values of y on the left hand y-axis.
The function I want to use for the potential is something like:
def get_E(mu, ymax, y):
    p2 = 2.0*mu/ymax**3
    Jmin = 2.0*np.sqrt(p2)*ymax
    pmin = Jmin/(2.0*y)
    E = np.sqrt(mu**2*pmin**2 + mu**2) - mu
    return E

i.e. highly nonlinear, with 2 constants (mu and ymax) passed to it.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I have done my best to search for a solution to this specific problem already, but my apologies if I have missed anything.
Please do ask any questions to clarify.

Roman Stanek on Big Data, Small Screen
kathryn1723 January 8, 2013 January 8, 2013
Guest Post by Roman Stanek
Big Data and Mobile Apps Are Converging in the Enterprise
Yesterday, I nearly drowned in a sea of extraneous data. In just one hour during an important conference call, my laptop overflowed with 300 e-mails from an email thread I frankly didn't care about. Imagine how much time I could have saved if my system knew I was unavailable, and sent me only the two notifications I truly needed: That the customer I was on the call with owed us an invoice, and that my next appointment was delayed by half an hour.
Clearly, enterprise users need an easy and intuitive way to parse all their data into a useful context. Just as clearly, they also need to have the right information delivered to them at the right time, on the right device. These days, that device is likely to be mobile — be it laptop, smartphone or tablet — as sales of desktop computers erode and enterprises increasingly accommodate tablets in the workplace..
I say it's time for big data to play a starring role on the small screen — the small screen of mobile devices, that is. Businesses primarily view big data as collecting and storing zetabytes of data from diverse sources for eventual business analysis. But in today's connected and mobile world, decision-makers can't wait for "eventual." They need big data apps that intelligently gather and analyze data as it comes in from other apps on their device (your calendar and sales management apps, for instance). Think of the ramifications: big data apps could suggest different ways to improve sales or — dare I say it — know not to send me thousands of emails on topics I don't care about when my calendar shows I'm in a meeting.
Such contextual real-time analytics can be extended across any number of roles and tasks: A sales rep driving to one meeting could be alerted that a good prospect two blocks away wants to meet. A Chief Marketing Officer could see which social media campaigns deliver the best return on investment. Or an inventory manager could know which store just sold out of fashion's "It" purse and needs immediate replenishment. These are just examples. The convergence of big data and enterprise mobile apps means that anyone, anywhere, can glean the insight she needs to make better, faster decisions.
Think Like a Consumer
The key is in the design. Developers building mobile apps for the enterprise need to combine the ease of use of consumer apps with enterprise-class security and data-collection technologies. And they need to optimize their apps for each device's small screen.
Consider Intuit's Mint, which organizes and analyzes consumers' finances. The company's desktop, tablet and smartphone apps are all designed to maximize both screen real estate and context. On the desktop app, you can manage and sort your finances in full detail. Mint's tablet app is smaller and more limited, enabling you to see a list of accounts, but not interact with them in the same depth. Its smartphone app focuses on notifications. Imagine how much could get done if businesses designed their big data apps this way.
Predictive Analytics Reveals Secrets To Boosting Customer Loyalty
In healthcare, for example, doctors making bedside rounds could tap into mountains of clinical research to discover the optimum treatments for their patients — and they could see the results as instantly intuitive charts or as scrollable lists (similar to the iPhone's email app) depending on whether they're carrying tablets or smartphones.
In IT, big data apps could predict cyber-attacks and send alerts, show scenarios and recommend actions depending on which mobile device technologists are carrying.
These are just examples, but I firmly believe that big data will soon permeate every aspect of business. I also believe that the convergence of contextual, real-time, data with mobile devices makes everyone and everything smarter. When you look at it that way, the small screen becomes huge.
