Rosa Mina Schärer, dite Lys Assia, née le  à Rupperswil dans le canton d'Argovie et morte le  à Zollikerberg dans le canton de Zurich, est une chanteuse suisse.

Elle est la première gagnante du Concours Eurovision de la chanson qu'elle remporta en 1956 pour la Suisse avec la chanson Refrain.

Biographie

Débuts
Lys Assia naît le  à Rupperswil en Suisse. Elle est la fille de Frederic Schärer, propriétaire d'une entreprise de plomberie, et d'une mère d'origine noble. La famille Schärer vit alors à Zurich. Dès son plus jeune âge, Lys suit des cours de danse classique. Elle étudie ensuite au Conservatoire et à l'Académie des Arts de Zurich. Contre l'avis de sa mère, elle décide de se lancer dans une carrière artistique.

Lys Assia fait ses débuts sur scène, alors qu'elle a seize ans. Elle se produit comme danseuse de revue au Corso de Zurich. Après le déclenchement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle intègre les ballets Riva et se produit devant les troupes françaises. Elle chante pour la première fois en public à Nice en 1942 puis intègre l'orchestre d'Eddie Bruner. La même année, le label discographique La Voix de son maître, à la recherche de nouveaux talents, la repère et lui fait signer son premier contrat d'enregistrement.

Après la guerre, Lys Assia est engagée par Radio Basel. Elle entame avec l'orchestre de la radio, plusieurs tournées à l'étranger qui l'amènent à se produire notamment à Madrid et à Paris. En 1948, elle remplace dans une revue du Club des Champs-Élysées, la chanteuse Joséphine Baker, tombée malade. Elle se montre si convaincante que les producteurs du spectacle l'engagent pour la saison.

Lys Assia conquiert le marché allemand en 1950, avec la chanson O Mein Papa, tirée de l'opérette Das Feuerwerk (Le feu d'artifice - connue également sous le nom de Der schwarze Hecht - Le cygne noir), composée par Paul Burkhard.

Parallèlement, elle entame une carrière au cinéma et tourne dans une dizaine de films.

En 1953, Lys Assia épouse l'industriel zurichois Henry Kunz, dont elle a une fille, Maja. Kunz meurt d'un arrêt cardiaque, en 1957.

Participations au Concours Eurovision de la chanson

En 1956, Lys Assia participe simultanément aux sélections nationales allemande et suisse pour la toute première édition du Concours Eurovision de la chanson. Elle échoue à la sélection allemande avec Ein Kleiner Goldener Ring (Un petit anneau d'or) mais remporte la sélection suisse. Les règles de l'époque permettant à chaque pays de présenter deux chansons, Lys chante deux fois pour la Suisse. Lors du Grand Prix Eurovision de la chanson européenne 1956 se tenant le  à Lugano, elle interprète tout d'abord en allemand, Das alte Karussell (Le vieux carrousel), puis en français, Refrain sous la direction du chef d'orchestre Fernando Paggi.

Pour la seule fois de l'histoire du concours, la procédure de vote demeura secrète. Les résultats complets ne furent jamais publiés et les bulletins de vote du jury détruits immédiatement. Il n'y eut ni deuxième, ni dernière place. Le président du jury, Rolf Liebermann, monta simplement sur scène pour annoncer la victoire de Refrain. Lors de la reprise de sa chanson, Lys Assia, sous le coup de l'émotion, s'interrompit à la première strophe. Elle s'en excusa : « Je suis tellement émotionnée. Je regrette. On recommence. ». Elle se reprit alors et put interpréter une seconde fois Refrain, sous les applaudissements du public.

Lys Assia demeure toujours la seule Suissesse à avoir remporté le Concours Eurovision. La seconde victoire de la Suisse, en 1988, fut en effet remportée par Céline Dion, d'origine canadienne.

Elle représente à nouveau la Suisse au Concours Eurovision en 1957, avec la chanson L'Enfant que j'étais, avec laquelle elle termine huitième. Puis, en 1958, avec la chanson Giorgio, avec laquelle elle termine deuxième. À cette occasion, elle devient la première participante de l'histoire du Concours Eurovision à interpréter une chanson recourant à deux langues, l'allemand et l'italien.

Lys Assia fait partie des cinq seuls artistes à avoir participé au Concours Eurovision, à trois reprises consécutives. Les quatre autres sont la Néerlandaise Corry Brokken, l'Autrichien Udo Jürgens, la Norvégienne Ellen Nikolaysen et la Saint-Marinaise Valentina Monetta.

Apogée et retraite
Lys Assia continue sa carrière et devient l'une des chanteuses les plus demandées en Allemagne, en Autriche et en Suisse. Elle publie ses chansons simultanément sur les labels Decca et Philips. Sa carrière est à son apogée et elle enchaîne les succès commerciaux. Elle se produit à Paris, New York, Madrid ou encore Buenos Aires. Elle joue devant la reine Élisabeth II ou le roi Farouk et partage la scène avec Dean Martin et Marlène Dietrich.

En 1962, Lys Assia publie un dernier album, qui se classe dans les classements allemands, Die Sterne von Syrakus. L'année suivante, elle épouse Oscar Pedersen, consul général du Danemark à Zurich. Celui-ci est également le propriétaire d'une chaîne d'hôtels, présente en Europe, au Japon et en Amérique du Sud. Il baptise en son honneur son nouvel hôtel de Lübeck : Lysia. Lys décide alors d'interrompre sa carrière et de s'investir dans l'entreprise commerciale de son mari.

En 1985, Lys Assia est l'hôte d'honneur de la trentième édition du Concours Eurovision. Elle fut introduite par la présentatrice, Lill Lindfors. La caméra fit un plan sur Lys, qui se leva pour saluer le public, tandis que l'orchestre jouait la partition de Refrain, sa chanson gagnante.

Retour à la scène

En 1995, Lys Assia et son mari sont victimes d'un grave accident de la route, dans le sud de la France. Oscar Pedersen décède sur place et Lys est grièvement blessée. Durant cinq mois, elle devra se déplacer en fauteuil roulant. L'année suivante, elle est victime d'un accident vasculaire cérébral. Une opération d'urgence lui permet de s'en remettre. Lys décide alors de s'installer de façon permanente à Cannes et de remonter sur scène.

Ainsi, en , elle donne un concert au Friedrich Ebert Halle de Hambourg et en mars de la même année, une série de spectacles au Théâtre de Madame Lothár à Brême. En 2003, elle publie un nouvel album comportant 14 chansons inédites. Toujours en 2003, elle fait une apparition lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture du quarante-huitième Concours Eurovision. Après les salutations d'usage, les présentateurs, Marie N et Renārs Kaupers, furent mis en communication satellite avec Lys, depuis Nicosie. Ils échangèrent quelques mots :
 Marie N : « Lys, please, can you tell us how it was, the first Eurovision song contest ? »
 Lys : « It was fun, I won ! »

En 2005, Lys Assia publie un autre album et revient s'installer à Zurich, à la suite de l'attaque de sa résidence cannoise par des cambrioleurs. En octobre, elle participe à Congratulations : 50 ans du Concours Eurovision de la chanson, une émission de télévision organisée par l'Union européenne de radio-télévision pour célébrer le cinquantième anniversaire du Concours Eurovision de la chanson et déterminer la meilleure chanson présentée durant ces cinquante années. Lys y chante Refrain et introduit l'une des chansons finalistes.

En 2007, Lys Assia participe au Grand Prix der Volksmusik, avec la chanson Sag mir wo wohnen die Engel (Dis-moi où vivent les anges), qu'elle interprète en duo avec Beatrice Egli. Elle termine douzième, lors de la grande finale, à Vienne.

En 2008, Lys Assia revient sur la scène du Concours Eurovision, à Belgrade. Lors de la deuxième demi-finale, elle lance le télévote. En 2009 à Moscou, elle remet le trophée de la victoire au vainqueur, Alexander Rybak, en compagnie de Dima Bilan.

En 2011, le réalisateur suisse Andres Brütsch tourne un film sur sa vie. Et en septembre de la même année, Lys Assia se présente à la sélection suisse pour le Concours Eurovision de la chanson 2012. Sa chanson, C'était ma vie, est écrite par Jean-Paul Cara et composée par Ralph Siegel. Lys termine huitième en finale. Elle retente sa chance en 2012, à la sélection suisse pour le Concours Eurovision de la chanson 2013. Sa chanson, All in Your Head, est à nouveau composée par Ralph Siegel. Elle l'interprète avec le groupe de rap new jack swing, mais est éliminée durant la phase préliminaire.

Les années bonus
Lys Assia fait une apparition au Concours Eurovision de la chanson 2012 à Bakou et au Concours Eurovision de la chanson 2013 à Malmö.

Elle est présente en 2015 à la soirée spéciale Best-of organisée par la BBC à Londres pour fêter les 60 ans du Grand Prix Eurovision de la chanson. Elle y est couronnée Reine de l'Eurovision.

Mort

Elle meurt le  a l'âge de 94 ans à Zollikerberg, en Suisse.

A: Because the code works for me, I can pinpoint the cause of the ValueError.
Python is throwing that error because the file does not exist, which means that your program does not have access permissions to read from the parent directory.
Copy the test.mp3 into the src directory, then run python3 get_genre.py test.mp3 and it will work.

Coinciding with the Savage Beauty exhibition currently at the V&A, Alexander McQueen have released a capsule collection of silk scarves.
We were lucky enough to attend the preview of the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition at the V&A yesterday. In what will no doubt be a sell-out show, Lee's McQueen's life's work is laid out in a space nearly as beautifully haunting as it's subjects. Catacombs house dresses, holograms dance before your eyes and the senses are overloaded with sights and sounds.
Only one hundred of each of the 100 per cent silk scarves have been printed and will surely become collector's items. Adorned with images of McQueen's most iconic shows and pieces, you can take your pick from AW08 'The Girl Who Lived In The Tree', SS99 'No. 13', SS10 'Plato's Atlantis', SS05 'It's Only A Game' and AW06 'Widows of Culloden'.


The new residential block on the corner of Pelikangasse and Mariannengasse offers its occupants high quality living and comfort, right in the centre of Vienna. These amenities were achieved by optimizing the orientation of the building, maximising daylight, and by opening up the charming green courtyard to the neighbouring plots.
The new residence has two separate entrances, each with its own address. Both staircases have daylight and are situated at the centre of the building, providing access to a total of 42 apartments from the first floor upwards. Designed for disabled access, the staircases are generous and bathed in light. The building is structured so as to offer a large variety of apartment types, which can be modified in the future, as the market dictates. All apartments have their own private outside space in the form of a balcony, loggia or terrace.
The ground floor houses all the communal spaces, including storage for bicycles and strollers, refuse storage, and rooms for drying, exercise and for holding parties. It also offers space for two commercial units. The courtyard is planted and accessible to everyone. Situated close to the few mandatory covered parking spaces, the green courtyard includes a toddlers' playground that is easily monitored, and offers a delightful outlook.

Q: How to fetch a set of data sorted by a field but the null values should come later & sorted by different criteria? I have the following table structure:
Table:

*

*Column 1: pid (Integer, Primary Key, Auto Increment, NOT NULL )

*Column 2: name (Varchar, NOT NULL )

*Column 3: balance (Int(11) )

Column 3 (balance) can have NULL values.
I want to write a query to get the all entries sorted by balance (both in ASC & DESC order), but the entries with NULL values should come after the sorted list and they should be sorted by name.
For example, for the following data:
|--------pid--------|--------name--------|--------balance--------

          1         |        Tom         |      1000000000
          2         |        Jerry       |      NULL
          3         |        Spike       |      4000000000
          4         |        Butch       |      NULL
          5         |        Nibbles     |      NULL
          6         |        Tyke        |      3000000000

the expected result is (For ascending order):
|--------pid--------|--------name--------|--------balance--------

          1         |        Tom         |      1000000000
          6         |        Tyke        |      3000000000
          3         |        Spike       |      4000000000
          4         |        Butch       |      NULL
          2         |        Jerry       |      NULL
          5         |        Nibbles     |      NULL

What should be  the query for this case?

A: You can do something like:
SELECT * FROM `table` ORDER BY (IF(`balance` IS NULL, `name`, `balance`))

A: Try this:
SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY ISNULL(balance), IFNULL(balance, name);

It will first sort by ISNULL (so non-null balances will be first), and then sort by "name", if the "balance" is null, or sort by "balance" otherwise.
You can of course add DESC or ASC after the ISNULL() or IFNULL() expressions. You can control whether you want null values first:
SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY ISNULL(balance) DESC, IFNULL(balance, name) ASC;

or null values last:
SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY ISNULL(balance) ASC, IFNULL(balance, name) ASC;

Explanation of IFNULL can be found here and explanation of ISNULL is here.

My creator ~ pinkwork™ extraterrestrial always tells me to notice anything interesting on this planet. So one day when I passed by a seed shop 路經種子店, I bought a small pack of mint seed 薄荷種子 and tried to grow mint by myself 自己種. I sowed these seeds in a flower pot 花盆 and expected they will sprout after a few days. Then more than a month passed, nothing happened 毫無動靜 and I gave up in the end.
Few months later 幾個月後, my human friend bought a bunch of fresh 香草 mint Home for cooking 烹調. I cut a sprig 一小枝 and put it in my abandoned flower pot 種在花盆上. This time I didn't expect this little mint sprig could grow 這次不期望會生長, well, I just want to test 實驗 whether this way could preserve fresh herb for a longer time 保存新鮮更久. Surprisingly, few days later, it not only didn't die, but also started to grow more leaves 竟然長出葉. So I keep it in my flower pot and let it grow and flourish by itself until now. This morning 今早發現 I realized it had bunch of little white flowers 小白花 !!! Wow, though without great effort or expectation from the beginning, I still feel a little bit excited when looking at these flowers.
Searching human web, these flowers would attract inserts 吸引昆蟲 and absorb lots of nutrients 搶走營養, so could make the mint leaves 薄荷葉 lost flavor 失去味道. Some humans would deliberately cut off 除走 these flower heads 花. But I am just doing an experiment & won't use the mint leaves for cooking or any other purposes. I think I won't do this step.

SILVER and TWIX (Kix's naughty twin sister) GO HELL FOR LEATHER IN 15 MINUTE GIRL FIGHTING ACTION EPIC! The girls, dressed in their skin tight uniforms with thigh high boots, infiltrate an enemy base, taking out an army of guards only to find they've been double crossed. The girls are ruthlessly efficient beating up and knocking out heavily armed guards but once they meet their contacts they suddenly fall victim to knockout gas. NOBODY KNOCKS OUT A KANDYGIRL. Once the girls awake they go all out for revenge, change into their deadly boots and jeans and go find their double crossing adversaries. HIGH KICKS, KARATE, KICK BOXING, KO KNEES AND PUNCHES, BLOW DARTS & KNOCK OUT GAS – this is serious.

September 2020 – LIGHTHOUSES
September 1, 2020 September 3, 2020 / Stepp	/ Leave a comment
After I completed my annual Smoky Mountain book this spring, I began to research and plan four new future books, that I'd envisioned earlier, focused around a Lighthouse on the South Carolina coast. As a past professor, I love to research and learn about new things, and I uncovered so many interesting facts and fascinating stories about lighthouses that I never knew before while beginning to plan these books. A lot of the gathered knowledge I found, and many colorful stories I unearthed, will find their way into my new Lighthouse books, but I decided it might be fun to share some of the information I've discovered in my September blog.
Lighthouse history: Lighthouses have an old history dating back 2000 years to remains found in Egypt and in Europe. However, the modern era of lighthouses that we are most familiar with began in the 1700s first in England, Wales, and Scotland and then in the U.S. not long after when the first American lighthouse was constructed at the Boston Harbor in 1716, called the Boston Light. Many more lighthouses were soon built along the Atlantic coast and then on the Great Lakes and the West Coast. Lighthouses served as well-needed navigational aids in this earlier time period. They warned boats of dangerous areas in the sea and they helped to guide ships into harbor, sort of like traffic lights and signs do on land. The purpose of lighthouses was always to light the way for ships at sea, to keep them from crashing against rocks or reefs in storms and bad weather, to help them find their way in the dark, and to act as points of reference for sea captains. Every lighthouse had its own unique appearance and its own individual system of flashes that let ships know exactly where they were long before modern navigational systems helped pinpoint the way.
A total of about 1500 lighthouses were built in the U.S. with the heydey of lighthouse construction between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today most lighthouses have been automated and few need a lighthouse keeper unless in special areas or as tourist attractions. There are about 700 lighthouses in the U.S. now, all maintained by the Coast Guard and also by those who work or live at each lighthouse location.
Thinking about a Lighthouse book: After learning about lighthouses in general, I began to look at pictures of lighthouses to decide what the "fictitious" lighthouse in my book might look like. I knew it would sit on a slightly rocky chunk of coastline on an island at the north end of Edisto Island with the Atlantic Ocean to the forefront and the North Edisto River to the side. Considering how many wrecks occurred in past at this location, many on a dangerous shelf of narrow barrier islands called the Deveaux Bank, I'm surprised a lighthouse was never built at this point, as there are lighthouses up and down the Atlantic Coast where other major rivers meet the sea. The small island I'm fictitiously using for my book setting is a quiet, practically unpopulated one, now in a conservatorship. Only a handful of people own land there and further future development is restricted on this island portion of Botany Bay Island, which is separated on all sides by water. In researching the history of the island I learned it had once been called Watch Island in the past with a small fort on it, so I took back that old name for the island for my story. I also decided to name the lighthouse the Deveaux Lighthouse, for the Deveaux Bank nearby and, fictitiously, for the family I've created who have kept the light through multiple generations.
It was amazing to me as I looked at all the lighthouse photos on the internet to see the huge diversity of shapes, sizes, and colors that lighthouses come in, like those above. What an incredible array of sizes and colors, from short and squat to tall, narrow and conical. They come in colors from simple white to diverse shades of red, green, gold, brown, and black and many are arrayed in Barber-shop or layered stripes, usually black-and-white or red-and-white. Some lighthouses are tall, wide, and large enough to live in, while others are tall and narrow with a steep, spiral set of metal stairs winding to the top. Others are squatty and not much taller than a person or built into another structure. Some sit right on a spit of land beside the sea, the lighthouse positioned so the light will be visible far into the nearby ocean. Others sit remotely out in the sea itself, often miles from land on small weather-swept, rocky islands or on manmade platforms. These especially, so far from land or people, looked the most lonely to me.
Many lighthouses built on the shore, or on large islands near the shore, included a complete series of buildings, or Lighthouse Station, in addition to the lighthouse. This station often contained eight or more structures that usually included a small keeper's house or storage building connected to or beside the lighthouse, where the Lighthouse Keeper stayed during storms or at night to be close to keep the light ever burning. The station also usually included a large Lighthouse Keeper's home in a spot nearby, built to house the big families with eight to twelve children that people had in the 1880s and early 1900s. These Lighthouse Keeper houses were often large two-storied homes with spacious living areas, many bedrooms, and wide porches. Additionally the Lighthouse Station grounds included several smaller cottages for assistant keepers or visiting supervisors, a bell house or fog house, storage buildings, a boathouse or two, one or boat docks, a well for water, fuel storage buildings, a garden area, and an outdoor "necessary house" or bathroom. Often the Lighthouse Station was fenced or walled all around with pathways leading between the different areas. The Station looked almost like a small community…. which explains why many of these Lighthouse Stations were more easily converted later to tourist resorts with cozy, seaside inns, gift shops, rental cottages, and museums. You may have seen one of these famous inns, the Portland Lighthouse and Inn, pictured above, on a visit to the coast of Maine or in looking through lighthouse photos or paintings.
Because most lighthouses were deactivated by the mid 1900s, they were frequently sold to parks or individuals to convert to tourist destinations or even to renovate as private homes. Today, many lighthouses are actually for sale at bargain prices to those who will fix them up, allow tourist visits, and who don't mind living in often remote locations. You can visit many lighthouses along the Atlantic and Pacific coast, and abroad as well. We recently visited Hunting Island Lighthouse, shown in the photo at left, at Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina, not far from Edisto and Beaufort. Many of the Huntington Island Light's old station buildings have been preserved, and at this lighthouse, too, you can climb to the top of the lighthouse on steep spiral stairs—if you are able—to look out across the ocean from a platform near the top.
I envisioned and planned that the Deveaux Lighthouse in my story has been converted into a tourist destination with the original Keeper's House enlarged and renovated into the Deveaux Inn. Visitors can stay at the inn or simply tour the lighthouse, and a ferry takes guests to and from the island, which is accessible only by boat. The four books in this new Lighthouse Sisters series, take you into the lives of the four grown Deveaux daughters, Burke, Gwen, Celeste, and Lila, who grew up with their parents Ella and Lloyd Deveraux at the scenic Lighthouse Station on Watch Island. Each book focuses on the story of one of the daughters specifically but you will meet them all in the first novel, tentatively titled Light the Way.
I have always been fascinated with lighthouse stories, wondering what it must have been like to grow up in such a remote location. I've often seen old photos of Lighthouse Keepers lined up with their families outside a lighthouse and wondered at their lonely and often harsh life and about the choices that took them there. Early lighthouse keepers in America and abroad endured great hardship and often risked their lives in storms to keep the light burning or to perform daring rescues at sea. I hope to weave some of those old tales into my books along with the ongoing stories of the daughters' current lives. I hope you'll enjoy wandering down to the sea again in these four future books….In the meantime you can visit the South Carolina Lowcountry area in my Edisto Trilogy books: Claire at Edisto, Return to Edisto – both already published – and Edisto Song coming this Spring 2021.

43% Of Investors Interested in Bitcoin Are Women: Grayscale Survey
Crypto Digest Staff
A report published on Dec. 4 by Bitcoin (BTC) fund operator Grayscale suggests that 43% of investors interested in Bitcoin are women.
The study involved 1,100 United States investors of ages between 25 and 64 surveyed between March 28 and April 3, 2019. All the respondents were involved in personal investing and held at least $10,000 in investable assets with at least $50,000 in household income.
Bitcoin not as male-dominated as believed?
As the report points out, cryptocurrencies are believed to be a predominantly male space. Additionally, GoogleAnalytics suggests that over 90% of Bitcoin community engagement is male. But the data uncovered in this survey challenges this perception. The report notes:
"Bitcoin conversations tend to focus on a predominantly male investor audience, and yet data indicates women have a healthy interest in Bitcoin as well."
Notably, 56.2% of women and 56.4% of men see significant growth opportunities in digital currencies. Also, 49.8% of women believe Bitcoin's finite supply could drive demand and price higher as do 49.9% of men.
Moreover, 47% of women compared to just 39% of men think this is the time to buy Bitcoin because they believe the price will only rise. Interestingly, 63% of women compared to 56% of men agreed that the ability to buy only a small fraction of BTC was a compelling reason to join the space.
Among the 43% of investors interested in BTC were women. While 80% of women were also intrigued by its potential while 93% noted that they would be more open to the asset class if more educational resources were available.
Women more risk-averse than men
The report also concludes that women tend to view investments as a way to protect themselves and their families rather than a way to get rich. For example, 60% of the women gave more importance to financial security than building wealth while only 48% of men shared this view.
This apparently higher risk adversity is in line with the ideas of Miss Universe Finland 2015 winner Rosa-Maria Ryyti. In September, she said that Bitcoin is less popular among women because it's seen as a risky investment.
Also, 42% of women noted that they plan to "play it safe" with their investment whereas 35% of men said the same.
Men more "confident" in their investments than women
Furthermore, women are also more likely to rate themselves as less investment-savvy than men, with 44% percent of women and 22% of men saying they didn't feel confident in investing.
At the same time, women have a more pessimistic outlook on the U.S. economy — with only 46% expecting positive development — while 57% of men were optimistic. A similar contrast is seen when examining their views on the global economy, with only 36% expecting positive developments compared to 43% of men.
While the report suggests that interest in Bitcoin is nearly equally split between men and women, other sources, however, indicate that much fewer women invest in Bitcoin than men overall. As Cointelegraph reported at the end of July, it is estimated that only 20% of European cryptocurrency holders are women.

Grass-fed/pastured hens are raised on pasture, as opposed to being kept in confinement and fed primarily grains. Eggs from pastured hens contain up to 20 times more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than those their less fortunate cousins, factory hens.
- We do a weekly delivery into Red Deer every Friday beginning May 4, 2018 from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. Eggs paid for online cost $5.50 per dozen as we are charged a transaction fee for online payments, otherwise, select COD (cash on delivery) when you order and the cost will be $5.00 cash at the time of pick up.
- You are always welcome to pick eggs up directly on the farm as well.

"Aluminum Dreams"
New from the MIT Press: Aluminum Dreams: The Making of Light Modernity by Mimi Sheller.
Aluminum shaped the twentieth century. It enabled high-speed travel and gravity-defying flight. It was the material of a streamlined aesthetic that came to represent modernity. And it became an essential ingredient in industrial and domestic products that ranged from airplanes and cars to designer chairs and artificial Christmas trees. It entered modern homes as packaging, foil, pots and pans and even infiltrated our bodies through food, medicine, and cosmetics. In Aluminum Dreams, Mimi Sheller describes how the materiality and meaning of aluminum transformed modern life and continues to shape the world today.
Aluminum, Sheller tells us, changed mobility and mobilized modern life. It enabled air power, the space age and moon landings. Yet, as Sheller makes clear, aluminum was important not only in twentieth-century technology, innovation, architecture, and design but also in underpinning global military power, uneven development, and crucial environmental and health concerns. Sheller describes aluminum's shiny utopia but also its dark side. The unintended consequences of aluminum's widespread use include struggles for sovereignty and resource control inAfrica, India, and the Caribbean; the unleashing of multinational corporations; and the pollution of the earth through mining and smelting (and the battle to save it). Using a single material as an entry point to understanding a global history of modernization and its implications for the future, Aluminum Dreams forces us to ask: How do we assemble the material culture of modernity and what are its environmental consequences?
Aluminum Dreams includes a generous selection of striking images of iconic aluminum designs, many in color, drawn from advertisements by Alcoa, Bohn, Kaiser, and other major corporations, pamphlets,films, and exhibitions.

Diagnostic ultrasound uses piezoelectric crystal to produce sound beams in the range of 2-50MHz. The sound beam penetrates the patient, reflects off of tissues at acoustic interfaces, and returns to the crystal where it is detected.
The sound beam reflects within tissues at acoustic interfaces. An acoustic interface is where two different tissues are adjacent to each other, and may mean the capsules surrounding tissues, adjacent structures within organs or different cells within tissues. When the sound beam is reflected and returns to the transducer, the strength of the returning beam (amplitude) is displayed as a grey scale pixel where the whiter or brighter the pixel, the greater the amplitude of the returning sound. The time the sound beam took to return determines the depth that the sound beam reached and determines where on the image that pixel is placed.
The higher the frequency of sound used, the better the resolution of the end image and the more likely small changes will be identifiable. However higher frequency = less penetration. So for deeper structures a lower frequency is needed. As an example a 12MHz sound beam can usually penetrate to a maximum depth of 8-10cm while a 2MHz beam can penetrate to around 25cm.
Another consideration for ultrasound is the region of interest. The strongest reflections are at gas-fluid/soft tissue and bone-fluid/soft tissue interfaces. This means that when the sound beam meets air or bone, almost the entire beam is reflected back and tissue deep to the interface cannot be evaluated. Gastrointestinal gas can prevent full evaluation of the abdomen and lung changes cannot be seen at all unless they extend to the visceral pleura.
Recently the use of ultrasound to identify the presence of abnormal gas in marine mammals was described (Dennison et al., Bubbles in marine mammals. 2011, Proc B Royal Soc).
In general, ultrasound is most useful for evaluation of superficial soft tissue damage, ocular disease, peripheral pulmonary or pleural disease and abdominal disease. The size of the patient can become a limiting factor depending on the organ system that needs to be evaluated.

Religion as Art
Guadalupe, Orishas, and Sufi
Edited by Steven Loza
$40.00 Paperback 978-0-8263-4570-7 June 2009
$40.00 E-book 978-0-8263-4571-4 January 2011
Steven Loza explores how the iconic aspects of religion transcend mere symbolism with a collection of essays that examine the arts and their relationship to religious belief in three cultural areas of the world: the Mexican mestizo belief in the Virgen de Guadalupe, the West African Yoruba religion's base in a divination system of orishas, and the Sufi sect of Islam's musical/textual practices of devotional ecstasy to God.
The essays included here were originally presented at the 2004 international conference "Towards a Theory for Religion as Art: Guadalupe, Orishas, and Sufi," organized by the Arts of the Americas Institute at the University of New Mexico. While they reflect the interdisciplinary design and dialogue of the conference, the essays also reveal that many of the arts are conceptualized cross-culturally, ranging from visual art and poetry to music and dance, and offer comparative studies of their relationships to society, politics, and culture in general.

Q: Por que mi prototype da undefined? Sé que puede parecer un error tonto, pero no se por que mi prototype da undefined
class Persona {
  constructor(nombre, edad, hobbies, amigos) {
    this.nombre = nombre
    this.edad = edad
    this.hobbies = hobbies
    this.amigos = amigos

  }

  getHobbies() {
    Persona.prototype.addFriend = function() {
         return (this.hobbies)
    }
  }
}

A: Te da undefined sencillamente porque solo estas asignando una funcion al prototipo de la clase, mas NO la estas ejecutando.
Asumo que tu nisiquiera estas ejecutando el metodo getHobbies, por lo tanto nunca se esta seteando tu prototype.
Asi que simplemente debes llamarlo:

class Persona {
  constructor(nombre, edad, hobbies, amigos) {
    this.nombre = nombre
    this.edad = edad
    this.hobbies = hobbies
    this.amigos = amigos

  }

  getHobbies() {
    Persona.prototype.addFriend = function() {
         return (this.hobbies)
    }
    return this.addFriend();
  }
}

const persona = new Persona("juan", 16, ["tomar cerveza", "jugar"], ["julian", "andres"]);
console.log(persona.getHobbies());

Por cierto, ojo con las llaves, te hacia falta una llave de cierre } en tu codigo original, de todas maneras eso que estas haciendo de por si no es adecuado, permiteme corregirlo por ti:

class Persona {
  constructor(nombre, edad, hobbies, amigos) {
    this.nombre = nombre
    this.edad = edad
    this.hobbies = hobbies
    this.amigos = amigos

  }

  get getHobbies() {
    return this.addFriend();
  }
}

//Los prototipos deberian ser declarados siempre fuera de la clase y ademas justo
//despues de crear la clase y antes de hacer cualquier instancia a esta.
Persona.prototype.addFriend = function(){ return this.hobbies };

const persona = new Persona("juan", 16, ["tomar cerveza", "jugar"], ["julian", "andres"]);
console.log(persona.getHobbies);

Como vemos, ahora funciona correctamente y esta mejor organizado el codigo, no solo eso, si no que como buena practica, te aconsejo NUNCA asignar prototipos dentro de metodos de la clase, puesto que:
La idea de modificar el prototipo de una clase es que todas las instancias de este tengan nuevos metodos o propiedades y los compartan.
Entonces el hecho de asignar prototipos dentro de los metodos de una clase se hace ahora un poco turbio deacuerdo a esta definicion...
