While reading The Princeton companion to Mathematics Timothy Gowers choose not to list alive mathematicians in the last part but I think it's important to know about them. Recently I've read about Alexander Grothendieck, Jean Pierre Serre, Sir Michael Atiyah, Vladimir Arnold and Robert Wisbauer. It was very interesting and enlightening, I am reading La Clef des Songes by Alexander Grothendieck, watched this lecture by Vladimir Arnold, read an advice to a young mathematician by Sir Michael Atiyah on the Princeton companion to Mathematics, and I usually read Terence Tao's personal blog.
I'd like you to point me to more contemporary mathematicians and readings to know their work, as Abel said one should learn from the masters and being a beginner mathematician it's not clear what one should read to achieve that.

Organizations upgrading their standard-definition videoconferencing systems should purchase high-definition systems from now on, a research firm said Thursday.
Some HD systems have dropped sufficiently in price to appeal to most organizations planning an update, Gartner said. Systems are selling for less than $10,000 per endpoint.
The videoconference market is in the early stages of maturity, with penetration less than 5% in organizations. "However, it has reached the point where it's a significant upgrade in terms of quality, and it's competitive enough in terms of cost, to appeal to organizations evaluating videoconferencing technology for room-based environments," Rich Costello, research director at Gartner, said in a statement.
Gartner expects the move to HD systems to be a driving factor behind a 20% to 30% annual growth rate of the worldwide market during the next couple of years.
Although an uncertain economic outlook for this year could prompt organizations to curtail IT spending, HD videoconferencing offers long-term cost savings, such as decreasing executive travel at a time of soaring gas and jet fuel prices, Gartner said. Other benefits include contributing to a company's "green IT" initiative, and increasing employee availability and productive work time.
In moving to HD video technology, however, Gartner advises organizations to consider costs other than the initial price of the system. Those costs include provisioning an appropriate room, ensuring adequate bandwidth, and anticipating an increase in use rates.
InformationWeek magazine has listed video over Internet protocol networks as one of five disruptive technologies to watch this year.
The combination of YouTube, improved Web-based and live videoconferencing, and the ease and lower cost of creating video content is expected to lead to more video running across corporate networks, the magazine said.

Bobby Brown was reportedly arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, TMZ.com reports.
The ex-husband of late pop icon Whitney Houston was allegedly pulled over by police in Reseda, CA on Monday afternoon for driving while talking on a cell phone. Brown was arrested and taken to a Van Nuys jail.
Whitney Houston's will revealed — who was left out?
No word on what substance the cops believe Brown was using. Should he be charged, this would mark his second DUI conviction; he was arrested in Georgia in 1996, pled guilty and served eight days in jail.
Brown and Houston wed in 1992 and have one child together, Bobbi Kristina Brown, who was born in 1993. Their divorced was finalized in 2007. Brown was reportedly turned away from Houston's funeral after arriving with too many people in his entourage. Though mentioned in Houston's will, Brown received nothing.

Walker hangs out with cows at dairy expo
800 exhibitors come to Madison
MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker got up close and personal with Lynn the cow at the World Dairy Expo in Madison.
Walker met the cow and the Booth family from Plymouth following a tour Friday of the expo, which is expected to attract about 70,000 people during its five-day run that ends Saturday
Walker spoke with 10-year-old Cole Booth who got a sixth place showmanship ribbon for the red and white Holstein.
The expo is in its 46th year and in addition to more than 2,500 head of dairy cattle for show, nearly 800 exhibitors from 28 countries show off the latest innovations in the industry.
Walker praises the event, noting that the dairy industry accounts for about $26 billion of Wisconsin's economy.

Macquarie's ongoing commitment to workforce diversity ensures its business remains innovative, sustainable and continues to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
In every one of our offices across 31 markets around the world, you'll find individuals from varied backgrounds with different ways of thinking, different skills and different experiences. At Macquarie we value the innovation and creativity that diversity of thought brings.
Macquarie's range of experiences, skills and views are key strengths and critical to the wide range of services the Group delivers across the globe as well as understanding the communities in which we operate.
At Macquarie, we harness the strength of our diversity through inclusion.
Inclusion means creating a workplace environment where people feel they can be themselves, regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity or cultural affiliation, sexual orientation, beliefs or educational background.
We provide training in Conscious Decision Making to help improve awareness of unconscious bias and the effect perceptions, judgements and interactions can have in the workplace.
Macquarie continues to grow its participation in the CareerTrackers and CareerSeekers internship program (for Indigenous and refugee students), and was recognised with the Corporate Partner of the Year award in 2017, the highest recognition for an employment partner.
Macquarie's employee networks provide staff with opportunities to exchange ideas, build relationships and further support Macquarie's diversity and inclusion strategy. Groups exist in the areas of Gender Equality, Pride (for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) staff and allies), Families and Carers, Heritage and Culture, Wellness, Veterans, and First Australians (focused on Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders).
Macquarie actively participates in women's sponsorship, mentoring and networking programs, both internally and externally in all regions.
Programs include the Chief Executive Women's Leaders Program in Sydney and Singapore, the Women in Banking and Finance Mentoring program and the FTSE 100 Mentoring Program, 30% Club Hong Kong, Women's Foundation in Hong Kong, and Association of Women in Finance Tokyo.
Macquarie recognises it can be difficult for individuals to reintegrate themselves into the workforce following an extended professional career break. Our Returner program looks to alleviate any challenges and make the transition as smooth as possible for our candidates.
Additionally, Macquarie is a Platinum Partner of Heads over Heels (a membership-based organisation that provides women entrepreneurs in Australia with access to strategic networks) and in the UK Macquarie is also a member of Women in Banking and Finance.
Macquarie Plus, our holistic wellbeing program, is designed to provide staff with individual choices and opportunities to be their best selves at work and at home, and in so doing, create and embed a culture of inclusion.
Our aims
What we do
Our workforce is becoming increasingly diverse, and technology continues to evolve to allow greater freedom to perform work from different locations and in different ways. Macquarie aims to facilitate flexible working arrangements where possible to support our people achieve their career and personal goals.
Because we recognise that working flexibly means different things to different people, flexible working exists across Macquarie in many forms. A flexible working arrangement may include for example, changes to hours, locations and patterns of work, or access to leave without pay, study and exam leave or a range of other flexible options dependent on circumstance and feasibility.
Ultimately, Macquarie empowers its staff to manage their professional commitments to suit their own personal situation, and equips its people managers to lead a flexible workforce.
Other initiatives to support flexible working include childcare centres, backup child/adult/eldercare, nursing mothers' facilities in all regions, return-to-work coaching for parents and employee network groups for families and carers in many locations. The vast majority of Macquarie staff are able to access some form of company paid parental leave provisions.
Globally, Macquarie works closely with external employer forums, not-for-profit organisations and diversity suppliers to support our focus on diversity and inclusion. We engage actively with these organisations to benchmark our policies and practices, leverage their expertise and drive positive change at Macquarie.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett is set to become one Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s (NYSE: GS) largest investors without shelling out one penny.
Impressive as that is, what's even more striking is how the guru investor brokered the Goldman deal to his distinct advantage.
The savvy CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) amended terms of warrants--a type of security that gives the holder the right to purchase securities from an issuer at a certain price within a certain time frame-issued to Berkshire during the 2008 financial meltdown.
At the time, Buffett's investment in Goldman was gutsy. It was viewed as a vote of confidence in the bank as the country faced economic crisis.
The warrants originally gave Berkshire the right to buy $5 billion worth of Goldman common shares at $115 each any time before Oct. 1. Thanks to the new $1.5 billion deal inked Tuesday, Buffett's company will receive 9.2 million shares.
According to data from Bloomberg News, that makes Berkshire the ninth-largest shareholder in Goldman.
The Oracle of Omaha said in a press release, "We intend to hold a significant investment in Goldman Sachs, a firm that I did my first transaction with more than 50 years ago. I have been privileged to have known and admired Goldman's executive leadership team since my first meeting with Sidney Weinberg in 1940."
Berkshire's windfall from the investment surpasses $3 billion, making it one of Buffett's most profitable wagers in recent history.
Goldman also benefits. The investment bank avoids a flood of sell-side shares that would have been dilutive. It also gets to include the revered name of Warren Buffett to its shareholder roster.
"We are pleased that Berkshire Hathaway intends to remain a long-term investor in Goldman Sachs," Goldman's CEO Lloyd Blankfein said in a statement.

Taiwan and China sealed a deal on cross-strait charter flights and tourism Friday in Beijing, in the first formal talks between the two sides in nearly a decade. The deal comes amid a rapid thaw in cross-strait relations under Taiwan's new president, Ma Ying-jeou, who took power May 20.
Analysts cautioned that Friday's deal was just the first – and easiest – step on the long and difficult road toward reconciliation between the two bitter rivals. Critics in Taiwan said President Ma had made too many concessions to China too soon.
"Eventually, the two sides will reach the end of the list of things they can agree on easily, and the process will slow down," says Shelley Rigger, an expert on cross-strait relations at Davidson College in North Carolina.
Under the deal, cross-strait charter flights will run on weekends starting July 4, shuttling Chinese tourists and Taiwanese businessmen between eight airports in Taiwan and five in the mainland. Ma hopes to realize regularly scheduled, daily flights by the summer of 2009, and see up to 3,000 Chinese tourists per day come to Taiwan.
Local media also reported that the two sides had raised the issues of joint oil exploration and establishing representative offices in each other's territories to manage exchanges. But Taiwan's government Friday poured cold water on the proposals, saying Taiwan's team had not been authorized to negotiate on those issues. "I don't think that can be accomplished in the foreseeable future," said Mainland Affairs Council vice chairman Chang Liang-jen, referring to the representative offices.
Another sign of lingering suspicions was the fact that weekend charter flights will not take direct routes across the Taiwan Strait. Instead, they must first fly through Hong Kong airspace, because of security concerns. That will add 90 minutes or more of travel time to flights from Taipei to Shanghai or Beijing.
Taiwanese military's concerns
The roundabout flight path highlights the challenge of squaring the economic benefits of closer cross-strait ties with national security concerns.
Taiwan's military, which must plan for the worst, is leery of allowing Chinese passenger planes to fly directly across the strait. "A jet fighter could hide beneath a 747 and appear to be one airplane on radar," says one Defense Ministry official. "They could use civilian airplanes as camouflage if they want to attack."
Military officials had also hoped that two airports near sensitive airbases on Taiwan's rugged east coast would not receive charter flights from China. Those bases – in Hualien and Taitung – are "the last line of defense for air combat," the defense official says. But the deal includes the two airports.
Air power is critical to Taiwan's defense. Security experts say the cross-strait military balance has tilted in China's favor in recent years as Beijing has rapidly built up its submarine, missile, and air defense capabilities. But Taiwan still holds an edge in air power quality, if not quantity.
Andrew Yang, a cross-strait security expert at the Chinese Council of Advanced Policy Studies in Taipei, says that one option under consideration was allowing flights to Shanghai or Beijing to pass through Japanese airspace, which would further reduce flying time.
But he says flights directly across the Taiwan Strait would require negotiated confidence-building measures and "safety corridors." "If there's no guarantee of 'safety corridors,' then it would be easy for the Chinese air force to fully utilize the routes to conduct military strikes," says Mr. Yang. "That would leave Taiwan no time to respond."
Talks on those issues would have to involve national security and military officials from the two sides, he adds – something that's not yet under consideration.
Ma has raised a high bar for even starting such security talks, saying that China must first withdraw its missiles aimed at Taiwan. "That's the biggest obstacle that will hamper the negotiation process," says Yang.
China has about 1,400 short-range ballistic missiles deployed along the coast opposite Taiwan, as well as cruise missiles, according to the latest count from the Taiwan government. To help counter that military threat, Taiwan has requested Patriot anti-missile batteries, F-16 fighter jets, submarines, attack helicopters, and other equipment from the US.
But according to a Washington Post story Thursday, the US has delayed approval of $11 billion worth of those and other purchases. The paper reported that Washington had delayed the approval at Taiwan's request, as sensitive cross-strait negotiations proceed.
Taiwan's government declined to comment on that report Friday.
China views self-governed Taiwan as part of its territory, and periodically threatens force to back up its claim. Beijing strongly objects to any US military sales or support for the island.
Giving up too much?
Taiwan's pro-independence opposition party said Ma was giving up too much to Beijing in order to make good on campaign pledges to boost cross-strait ties.
"The KMT has traded in defense interests for improved cross-strait relations, and this is extremely dangerous," says Lin Chen-wei, director of international affairs for the Democratic Progressive Party, and a former National Security Council official. "We're saying, why are you going so fast? We're very concerned about their strategic direction."
Mr. Lin noted that the pro-independence government had laid the groundwork for Friday's deal in informal talks over the last few years. It negotiated a package deal of cross-strait passenger charter flights, cargo flights, and tourism. But Beijing refused to sign a deal until the more China-friendly KMT retook power last month.
Another sore point is that Friday's deal does not include cross-strait cargo flights. That's high on Taiwan businesses' wish list, because many ship high-tech parts to the mainland for assembly.
According to Lin, Beijing is dragging its feet on such flights because Taiwan's cargo industry is much stronger than China's, and because China wants Taiwanese firms to move their R&D and high technology to the mainland.
Lin says that even if Beijing agreed to a missile pullback, it would be an empty gesture. "Withdrawing [the missiles] is not enough. If China wants to truly show its goodwill, they need to destroy them."

Looking for packs for your Palm Centro (or other Palm OS or Windows Mobile device)?
It might be hard to believe, but "in the wild" there are still quite a few Palm Centro owners who still have working devices, and who haven't migrated to another device. Astraware Sudoku was bundled with these devices as a built-in app back in 2007, and as a result Centro owners made up the majority of our Puzzle Of The Day accesses for several years!
Each month there are fewer and fewer of these devices left still working and accessing the site… but there are still some! It's quite a testament to the usability of these great little devices that they're still popular all these years later, and to their build that they're still functioning – especially for a device that was relatively budget at the time!
As the devices could be a little slow to generate puzzles themselves, we pre-built many hundreds of puzzles and made them available on this website – if you're looking for those, we've collected them together into a single zip file, which you can access from our Sudoku Links page!
Still using your Centro? Comment here and let us know why! (Is it just because of Astraware Sudoku? If so, you're safe to migrate to an iOS or Android device – we've got you covered now with an all new version!)

In 1988, a Crazy Recipes card game was featured as an in-box promotion on the Swedish Chef's cereal, Cröonchy Stars.
As was typical for cereal box promotions of the time, it was a cardboard punch out game similar to concentration and go fish, where the players had to find pairs in the pool of cards. The twist on this two player game was that the player with the most cards, as well as the player with the least cards, both win.
Various Muppets were featured on the cards, which pictured food products with a Muppet spin.

If you like reading, bundles, science fiction, fantasy, and/or supporting charity, today's your lucky day.
The folks at Humble Bundle, who regularly serve up indie games on the cheap, have created the Humble eBook Bundle, a collection of six sci-fi/fantasy e-books for whatever price you want to pay.
That means you can literally drop a penny to get half a dozen DRM-free novels. But you're not that cheap, right? Here's why you should give serious consideration to paying more:
Writers need to eat. I've often railed against e-book prices, but certainly a buck per book is more than reasonable -- especially considering that here you're supporting the authors directly.
And don't forget to add a bit extra for charity: a portion of your payment can be shared with Child's Play, or with the Electronic Frontier Foundation or the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (though that's hardly a charity, IMHO).
Finally, if you contribute more than average purchase price (currently $12.02), you'll unlock two additional books: John Scalzi's "Old Man's War" and the Neil Gaiman graphic novel "Signal to Noise" (which, interestingly, is making its e-book debut as part of this bundle).
Of all the books in this collection, I've read only "Old Man's War" -- and it's a gem. Loved every bit of it. So I definitely recommend paying at least enough to get it.
As for the others, click any thumbnail for a description and sample chapter. Most of them have at least four-star ratings on Amazon. By the way, if you purchased them separately there, they'd run you more than $50.
The books are provided in EPUB, PDF, and MOBI formats, so you can read them on pretty much any device you want.
The bundle will be available for about the next two weeks. As someone who loves to read, and especially loves e-books, I don't have to think twice about naming my own price. Done!

Young Experts
As a Young Expert you get the opportunity to gain experience in an intercultural environment and develop your personal goals for a period of 1 or 2 years. You are employed by a Dutch organisation, and work on a specific project related to either Water, Agrofood and/or Renewable Energy. At the same time you receive intensive coaching, and attend training sessions and master classes in order to develop your skills. An example of the training programme can be found on this page. As we regularly monitor the results and efficacy of the training programme, this is subject to change. Potential Young Experts can take the selftest to see whether you might be eligible to apply for a Young Expert position.
YEP is open for projects in one of the countries that are eligible for grants from the Dutch Good Growth Fund. The full and updated list of countries can be found on the right. If you are a motivated young professional, YEP is a wonderful opportunity to invest in yourself, and to make an impact by working on a project for an extensive period of time. Do you think you have got what it takes to become a Young Expert yourself? Take the test!
Selection process
Young Experts
The Young Expert Programmes are open to Dutch Young Experts and Local Young Experts from any of the eligible countries. There is a difference in the selection process for both. Local Young Experts apply by approaching Dutch organisations, who conduct their own selection process, and Dutch Young Experts apply when new vacancies are posted online.
OrganisationsThroughout the year organisations that meet the criteria can submit project proposals, which will be assessed and rated three times a year, after the deadline. A detailed description of the submission process for a project proposal can be found here.
Trends & business cases
An important part of the YEP training programme is aimed at the development of the professional expertise of the Young Experts. At the same time it also focuses on the role that their position within the countries can play in recognising potential opportunities for the Dutch sectors.
Therefore the Young Experts partake in a trend watching and business case development assignment, aimed at recognising emerging trends and possible business opportunites in the countries where they are stationed. Afterwards they investigate one of these trends and focus on the practical implications for the sectors. They develop a business case, which they propose to the YEP programme bureau. These business cases are regularly developed in such a way, that they can be directly implemented. By utilising their knowledge, the Young Experts can prove to be a viable asset to the sectors. If you would like to employ a Young Expert, please contact the YEP Programme Bureau.
This video shows an example of the content of a business case, drawn up by the Young Experts in their first weeks of training at the start of their secondment. During their secondment they will jointly work on their proposed business cases. The results will be presented as part of their return training, one year after their preparatory training.
Some examples of successful business cases:
Dolly Ratsimba, Local Young Expert for Practica Foundation, proposed a business case for improvements to the sanitation and desludging in Madagascar, and received funding for several projects, funded by Practica Foundation and a partner of Practica, Protos. He is now managing a desludging service in Toamasina, and constructed 90 latrines.
Euphresia Luseka, a Local Young Expert who was working at SNV Kenya, recognised the need for a water kiosk in order to connect many of the rural low-income consumers to safe, affordable and accessible water. Her proposal for a 'Safe Water Kiosk' for Tachasis Water and Sanitation Co. in Nandi County, Kenya, which will supply nearly 500 households with safe water, received funding of €40.000 by the Siemens Stiftung Organisation.
Lisa Freiburg, Dutch Young Expert at MDF West Africa in Ghana, also successfully secured €70.000 in funding from VIA Water to pilot EnterWASH, an innovative enterprise development programme for young ambitious people who want to start new businesses that solve the water, sanitation and hygiene challenges in their communities.
Young Expert alumni Reinilde Eppinga and Lawrence Kimaru, who are still working at SNV Kenya, proposed an idea to use faecal matter and urine in biomass-fuel and bio-fertiliser production in Nakuru, Kenya. They co-created a proposal which utilises three innovative elements, a mix of: the use of faecal matter and urine, proposed business and partnership models and intended business scale. The budget approved for the 18-month project by VIA Water funding is €350,000.
The Young Expert Programmes are established to ensure the continued availability of Young Experts and their expertise for the Dutch Water, Agrofood en Renewable Energy sectors in the future: invest in the development of human capital! To achieve this, Dutch companies, knowledge institutions and NGO's can submit a proposal for an international development aid and trade project for the deployment of a Young Expert.
Projects can employ either a Dutch Young Expert or a Local Young Expert. Dutch Young Experts can be placed in one of the countries that are eligible, whereas the local Young Experts can only be placed in the country of which they have the nationality, and only those on the list of eligible countries. Young Experts are placed on projects that are related to the Water, Agrofood and/or Renewable Energy themes and that contribute to the goals the Dutch government has set with regards to development cooperation.These projects are jointly financed by the organisation and the subsidy of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The financial support for the deployment of a Dutch Young Expert is maximised at €40,000 per year and 50% of the total costs. Financial support for the deployment of a Local Young Expert is maximised at €12,000 per year and 50% of the total cost of the placement. A detailed specification of the division of costs can be found here. Both the organisation and YEP Programmes invest in the training and coaching of the Young Experts. By doing so, the Young Experts get the opportunity to work in an international environment, and the organisations can make use of their expertise. The organisation can either employ a Dutch Young Expert, or a Local Young Expert: there is a difference in the costs and application process for both. Both the organisation as well as the project proposal has to meet a list of requirements. Take the test now and see if you might be eligible to submit a project!

Well as promised here is my final star for Finn. I do however have a TON more quilts made with stars - I think every quilter has a ton of star quilts.
This quilt is called Sun, Moon and Stars! My kids just can't figure out why I can have a sun and a moon out at the same time! :) I did this quilt this summer at an overnight retreat and just love it! The star points are put in with pivot seams. Once we got the hang of the placement they went really fast.
And I thought I would show you one other star quilt I have that was a BOM I did online years ago. Very different fabrics and colors for me but it did turn out pretty cool. I figure this one is almost a Tonya quilt with the purple.
I had such a busy weekend I don't know where to start. Basically had a fun time seeing my mom and sister for a few days and did a ton of running with the kids! Tomorrow I'll have some fun pics of Emily from her 24 hour challenge at school. Oh and I went to a quilt show that was ok, but I was expecting more so that was a bit of a disappointment. Fill you all in later this week.


text: My paintings are representative of the world I see around me. I am inspired by pop culture and things that I find intriguing. I really like to combine the use of words and images in an unexpected way to create a smart, colorful bold statement. Most importantly my love of color is what really makes my artwork "pop". My paintings are statement pieces that are a reflection of the experiences I have in my life.

Changwon, Republic of Korea – During the 10th meeting of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands' Conference of Contracting Parties, presently under way in the Republic of Korea, an original and ambitious partnership agreement aimed at fighting global warming has been entered into by the Ramsar Convention, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Danone Group.
Fighting global warming through wetlands protection and restoration
The purpose of this innovative program is to capitalize on the essential role played by wetlands ecosystems, especially mangrove swamps, in carbon capture. Representing 6% of land area, wetlands fix 20% of the earth's carbon and produce 25% of the world's foods (fisheries, agriculture and hunting). These areas, vital to biodiversity and the survival of many populations, also enable the natural purification of freshwater and groundwater's recharge, and serve as effective barriers against coastal storms. Nearly half of these areas, however, have been destroyed over the past century.
The agreement signed today is in many ways a concrete response to the call that went out last July to the international community from 700 scientists of the International Association for Ecology (INTECOL), emphasizing the global importance of wetlands conservation.
After a ten years partnership with Ramsar, a new stage in Danone's commitment to environmental responsibility
For Danone, the first steps taken under this program will be led by Evian. As the world's leading brand of mineral water, Evian has a long experience in protecting water resources, particularly through the protection of the catchment zone that feeds its own spring. In addition, the brand has worked for many years to reduce its environmental impact in the areas of energy consumption, packaging and transportation. As a result, between 2000 and 2011 Evian will have shrunk its carbon footprint by half.
As no human activity can claim in itself environmental neutrality, Evian simultaneously intends to develop voluntary initiatives making it possible to absorb the remainder of its carbon footprint. From 2009, as part of the partnership announced today, Evian will support specific programs to store carbon, by restoring wetlands with Ramsar and the IUCN.
This twin effort-to reduce emissions on its own and to restore areas that will fix large quantities of CO2-will enable Evian to become carbon neutral, from 2011 onward.
An agreement leading to the creation of a Danone Fund for Nature
In concrete terms, Danone's commitment will take the form of a fund. The mission of the Danone Fund for Nature is to support projects that combine water resources management, the conservation of biodiversity, quality improvements in food resources emanating from wetlands and the strengthening of their natural capacity for storing large quantities of CO2.
Administered by the three partners, this Fund will rely scientifically and technically on Ramsar and the IUCN.
The first pilot project will be implemented in 2009, followed by a larger scale roll-out, and tracked by reliable and recognized measurement methods.
"The Danone Group and Evian have been working with us for ten years," said Anada Tiega, Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention. "What makes our partnership work is that we share the same goal of protecting water resources. We are delighted to reach a new level with Danone and Evian alongside IUCN with even more ambitious goals."
"This project fits perfectly into the IUCN's mission of promoting biodiversity as a fundamental pre-requisite for ecosystems to be able to support the fight against climate change and poverty," observed Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General. IUCN will leverage its network and expertise in providing the program's technical and operational co-ordination."
"We're glad we've been able to answer the appeal made by the Ramsar Convention and IUCN, and to do so through an original and promising partnership," added Franck Riboud, Chairman and CEO of Danone, What this means is putting in place the financial, technical and human resources required for rehabilitating ecosystems where we can fix a portion of our carbon footprint. The wetlands restoration program, with the fixation potential that it represents and its fit with Evian's vocation and long-term commitment, is a natural complement to our ongoing efforts to reduce our corporate environmental impact."
"As a brand, we are extremely proud to be associated to this an ambitious project," said David Graham, Water Division Sustainable Development Director, the Danone Group. "Not only does it have the potential to make a real and positive difference in the fight against global warming, but it demonstrates how a global leader like Evian can utilize its considerable resources in a truly innovative way".
About the Ramsar Convention
The International Wetlands Convention signed in Ramsar, Iran in 1971 under the sponsorship of UNESCO is an intergovernmental treaty that provides a framework for actions by nations and for international cooperation to conserve and make considered use of wetlands and their resources. The Convention presently has 158 signatories, who have placed 1,801 wetland areas totalling 163 million hectares on the List of internationally significant wetlands.

About IUCN
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the oldest and largest international network in the environmental movement. It includes over a thousand members (countries, governmental and non-governmental organizations and nearly 11,000 volunteer experts from 160 countries.
The IUCN's work is carried out by a staff of over 1,000 professionals working in 62 national and regional offices. IUCN headquarters are located near Geneva, Switzerland.

About Danone and Evian
The mission of the Danone Group is to provide health through healthful eating to the most people it can. With 150 manufacturing sites and about 76,000 employees, Danone is a health foods leader. The Danone Group is included in the main social responsibility indexes-the Stoxx and the World Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, the Eurozone ASPI and the Ethibel Sustainability Index.

The Evian brand can be found on five continents and in over 120 countries. Its balanced mineral composition results from being filtered for over 15 years in the heart of the French Alps. At the end of this journey, Evian natural mineral water emerges in the Cachat Spring in the French town of Evian-les-Bains on the shore of Lake Geneva. Evian has a long-standing commitment to lowering its environmental impact. It has reduced the weight of its bottles by 20% over the past ten years, makes its bottles from 25% recycled PET and in Europe takes two-thirds of its production to market by train.

I'd like to make it black with just the green start button, the quick launch, the clock, and if possible, I'd like to change the background on the little bars for each window you have open as well. I couldn't find a way in the regular settings.

It's the best kind of space picture: a collection of bizarre galaxies with freakish shapes. Who cares about those boring spiral arm galaxies when you can have the smooshed ass galaxy, or two galaxies crashing into each other? These misshapen beauties were captured by a research consortium called AEGIS, which just released a bunch of images taken by ultra-high-powered telescope arrays that show us heretofore-unseen vistas of deep space. Of course, the farther you peer into the depths of the universe, the further you travel back in time, so these images are all from the early years of our universe.
Google Earth freaks can look at them all pretty-like using the new Google Sky feature, but for those who don't want to download a bunch of crap there's the gallery at AEGIS. Another bonus of this whole image gallery is discovering the name of one of the main research groups devoted to deep-space pix: the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe, or DEEP2 team. Sounds like something from a 1970s scifi flick, or a new vibrator from Babes in Toyland.

The album hit the shelves this week, however Stephanie Carlin, the group's lead singer and guitarist, has fought through the world of record labels to own her music, style and image over the last three years.
Carlin wrote, arranged and produced the 11 songs on the new album with the musical styling of guitarist Xander Naylor, pianist Javi Santiago, bassist Russ Flynn and percussionist Wes Reid.
Together, Avidya and the Kleshas have finally developed something they can be proud of.
I sat down with Carlin at the Irving Farm Coffee Roasters on West 79th Street in Manhattan to discuss the new album and the future of her band.
Where are you originally from?
I'm from Long Island in Hampton Bays.
What brought you to Brooklyn?
I came to Brooklyn in 2008 and I absolutely knew I wanted to be here. I went to school for Jazz Performance at Long Island University and was really frustrated by my education there and I felt like I didn't learn how to be a musician.
How long have you been writing and making music? When did that all start?
Making music is just like an art form to me and I feel like I've been trying to sculpt that art for as long as I can remember, since I was in my early teens and my best friend handed me a guitar and said, "Hey you want to learn?" It's kind of really inbred in me, and ever since then I've really had a one-track mind.
Where does making music fit in with your world?
It's like a requirement for me. I tried to do other things and this is where I'm supposed to be, this is where I excel. My emotional heartbeat is in music.
What kind of music did you listen to when you were a kid?
My dad is a religious Bob Dylan fan, always had Bob Dylan playing. Maybe that's why I don't like Bob Dylan? (laughs) And, he always had really powerful female singer songwriters playing and I never noticed it until I became an adult that it probably had an effect on me being a musician.
Did that ever seem like something you had to overcome, being a female singer?
Yeah, I loathe that niche, female singer-songwriter. I absolutely detest it. It's why we don't really play under my real name, it's because the music I'm trying to create has a very strong message that transcends any sort of genre or cliché that the music industry tries to present you. I'm not singer-songwriter or indie-folk.
How do you describe the kind of music you guys play?
When you're speaking in terms of genres, it is like a funk-jazz-folk hybrid, but my goal has been to not really be confined to one box and to be very genre-less and very fluid. The consensus has been that people can't really figure out where to put us. We've had a lot of trouble with agencies and with labels because we're either too jazzy or not jazz enough, or too folkie or not folk enough.
Is that because you're just playing the music you want to play and not playing for a specific genre?
That's so true, and I never had a musical support team that I could really admire and learn from. I was very independent and alone as a teenager and even still today as I shape my craft.
What's your philosophy on the music world right now?
It's so tumultuous right now; people don't know what to make of it because a revolution is happening and we have to catch up in real time. There is really no time to waste. This is the best time for anybody who feels art inside of them and to put it out into the world, especially music.
How do you see Brooklyn as a place for music right now?
I'm a Gemini so I tend to see things on two very intense sides.There are music venues popping up everywhere. You can play anywhere and there's a crowd that will listen to it, but at the same time that also makes things very over-saturated. I find that it's very hard to get the attention of an audience because music is just fluid as water in Brooklyn. Everyone's an artist and everyone is a musician and people don't really care because it's so second nature to see so much art.
Where did you meet your band?
I was just playing a regular jazz gig, where we play a bunch of jazz standards, and I needed a bassist and a drummer. My regular guys couldn't do it, so I just went on Craigslist and I found Russ, my bassist now, and he recommended Wes, my drummer now, and we just played that gig and didn't really talk.
I went through a stream of people to record this record and they didn't really work out. I put out an audition on Facebook and Russ and Wes were the first two people, separately, to say they would love to do this. It just felt like it was fate calling. They are both core members of this band and the music wouldn't be anything with out them. Their sound is very important.
Where did you come up with your name Avidya and the Kleshas?
Avidya comes from a yoga philosophy and the Kleshas are, in yoga and many other philosophies, the five hindrances to enlightenment. They are the five reasons why human beings suffer and can't be just peaceful, blissful beings all the time. The first reason is Avidya, which means ignorance. Our ignorance is like the trunk of the tree from which the four other kleshas stem. They are our ego, our attachment to pleasures, our aversion to pain and our fear of death.
It's my mission to create a community of people who want to explore these afflictions and talk about them. I don't think we can rise higher and be at peace until we start to understand why we're angry all the time or why we're sad.
When did you first start recording the new album?
We recorded in January 2011, and we recorded a multi-album record deal and that took about eight months to process. Labels don't really exist anymore, and I was foolish to believe that they do, but the label was going bankrupt, they kept offering us less and less money, and oh my god, it held us up for months and close to a year for releasing this record. We had to follow through with it. It was a process and I should have listened to my intuition and self-released it.
Where did you record?
We recorded at this amazing space called Hoboken Recorders. They actually got washed out by Hurricane Sandy and their whole studio was destroyed. But they're rebuilding it, which is awesome. That place had such a good vibe. We recorded the whole album live.
How many takes did you take per song?
I don't think more than five takes a song. We recorded in three days.
How many songs did you record in total?
Twelve. And 11 are on the record.
What can you take away from a three-year recording process?
It's finally out. I'm the kind of person that wants to ship it and be done. Having this take three years has been very painful for me, embarrassing and stressful, but it is so important for artists to do their art the way they want to do it. It was such a learning experience to find out who the right producers were and the wrong ones, and who the right players were and who weren't and who the right engineers were and who weren't. Everything is just a learning experience, but I think this music is great and well done.
What is your day job?
I teach music full time and I also started a songwriting school in Brooklyn called the Free Spirits Music School in Prospect Heights. Right now I am running eight-week workshops for kids and at the end we play a rock show. They learn guitar, they learn how to sing and they learn how to write songs. And the underlying thing for them is learning confidence and learning the process of our own artistic process. I want them to be able to walk away with the understanding of how to write a song by themselves. Where they want to get frustrated and where they want to run away, that they not run away and not be frustrated.
Check out Avidya and the Kleshas at Brooklyn's Tea Lounge, located at 837 Union St., on Friday, June 28. Doors open at 9 p.m.

Since I was busy yesterday (Sunday) dealing with computer email problems, I never got the Singalong blog posted, so today I will suggest a Mum-along. The Mummers were the folks who took holiday music to the street when Cromwell banned it from the Church (1600s). While many mumming songs have become our regular Christmas carols (from the French carole meaning "ring" - songs that would accompany dancing, usually those performed in a circle, or ring), I thought it would be interesting to see if others like mumming songs as I do. Sometimes they are songs sung as rounds (another form of ring), sometimes they are songs that simply express the joy of the season. One verse resembles the previous, with just simple changes, encouraging people to sing along.
While the mummers usually did their plays and music in disguise (possibly so that Cromwell's people would not recognize them, saving them from the stocks), we sing them around the piano, fireplace, or even going door-to-door. They often wish happiness and health to the household they visit, suggesting a prosperous New Year. They also often ask the householder to give them some food, drink, or even money in exchange for those wishes.
One of my personal favorites of the mumming songs is named for the punch - wassail - that is also part of the holiday (read more about that at Wikipedia, and check the companion article on wassailing, the focus of the song I include here).
Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wandering, so fair to be seen,
Love and joy come to you, and a Merry Christmas too,
And God Bless you and send you a happy New Year,
And God send you a happy New Year.
(See the full set of lyrics here). On YouTube, there is a wonderful instrumental by The Canadian Brass and a vocal by the Strathroy Chorale, among others.
One of my favorite renditions is on the Caroline & Sandy Paton recording "'Twas on a Night Like This" available from Folk-Legacy.
I recorded a version a couple of years back that can be heard or purchased (as a CD of Holiday Songs) from CDBaby.
So what songs on this type of theme are your favorite of the season? Share lyrics, links, or just titles here . . . and maybe sing a few to add some merriment to the holidays.

Monday "Mum-along" with Circlemending
3 comments:
I just love holiday music. Heck, I love the holidays! It's so festive and full of cheer. I don't know if my favorite carols are "mumming" songs, but I love What Child Is This? and O Holy Night. I think my all time favorite, however has to be Silent Night. To me, that song just sings Christmas.ReplyDelete
I also love the song that you posted, Jean! Excellent choice!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Mumming songs are more light-hearted (Deck the Halls, We wish you a Merry Christmas, etc.) but those that carry all the messages of the season are great!ReplyDelete
My kids have always loved "We wish you a Merry Christmas". There is nothing quite like hearing them sing with childish voices as we go caroling through the neighborhood.ReplyDelete

I went back and was reading the post office application paperwork for So. Kent CT.
My reading of the documents:
•23 August 1872, Edward Dakin applies for a new post office to be called South Kent. It is to be located in Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The mail is currently on the Bridgeport CT to Pittsfield MA route arriving 6 days/week. It will be on the Housatonic RR (4 rods away). It is 3 miles from Gaylordsville and 4 miles from Kent, and 2 miles from the Housatonic River. It would serve 300 persons.
Edward Dakin signs it on 31 August 1872 and
Burritt Eaton, postmaster of Kent verifies the application.
•21 April 1884, George Hufcut Sain (?) applies for a new post office at Bulls Bridge. The nearest post office is So Kent which is 2.5 miles away and on the other side is Webotuck NY (2.5 miles). It is near the Housatonic RR (2.75 miles from Mervinsville station where mail is delivered) and the Housatonic River and will serve 130 people.
It is signed by W. C. Camp, Webotuck NY
Along with the application is a map showing the locations of the Kent, South Kent, Gaylordsville and Webotuck Postoffices.
• 25 August 1898, Fred Chase, responds to the Post Office Dep't topographer about relative positions of post offices in the area.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Nipple Discharge
When you are not breastfeeding, fluid leaking from one or both nipples is called nipple discharge. It may or may not be a sign of a medical problem.
Nonspontaneous discharge that occurs only when you press on your nipple is usually normal and occurs in the majority of women at one time or another. The discharge can be clear, cloudy, white, yellow, green, or brown. The more the nipple is pressed or stimulated, the more fluid is discharged. This type of nipple discharge does not usually mean that there is a problem.
Spontaneous discharge of fluid or blood from a nipple is a concern, except during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This type of discharge occurs without pressing or stimulating the nipple. Galactorrhea is one type of spontaneous nipple discharge. It may be a side effect of a medicine or caused by a noncancerous tumor in the pituitary gland (pituitary adenoma), decreased thyroid function (hypothyroidism), or certain types of cancer.
Call your doctor if you have spontaneous nipple discharge or a discharge from only one nipple (unilateral) or that looks like blood.

You split "C-style" and "short cicuit" into two sections. The whole point of refering to them as "C-Style" is because they are "short circuit". I believe the reason was that C is the most commonly known old school language that defines its logical operators to "short circuit". Turbo Pascal's logical operators were short circuit, but I dont know if this is part of the Pascal language definition, or just one of many Borland extensions. OTOH, Basic generally does not have short circuit operators (and thus presumably Fortran does not have them either). However I'd guess that most modern languages have operators which short circuit considering the convenience they offer. Without them you have to write this
as a nested if, like this
which is a source of perpetual frustration to me when I have to hack on VB code. (A chore that luckily I do very rarely these days.)
Anyway, good meditation.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Amazon shook the consumer electronics market last year when it introduced the first sub-$200 tablet, the Kindle Fire. Many were skeptical of the online vendor's foray into electronics, but some saw it as a stroke of genius. By leveraging its vast library of online titles, Amazon set itself up to compete on content with the industry leader, Apple.
The Kindle Fire was an instant hit by combining Amazon's library of e-books, music, and movies with one of the lowest tablet price points featured quality technology, and it was strange then that few companies tried to replicate Amazon's model. Tablet manufacturers are still trying to compete with Apple, releasing products with specifications close to or better than the iPad. The result has been that few tablets under $400.
Perhaps only one company, Google, possesses the resources and the content to offer a tablet capable of taking on the Kindle Fire.
The first Google-branded handset, the Google Nexus One, was manufactured by HTC and was the first to be sold directly by Google to consumers. It served as the template for other Google devices like the Nexus S, the Nexus ONE, and the Galaxy Nexus. With each product, Google partnered with an established device manufacturer, focusing its own efforts on the user interface and optimizing its Android operating system for a particular device.
Google finally introduced its first branded tablet, the Nexus 7, at its I/O conference June 27 with a price tag of $199, meaning it will compete directly with the Kindle Fire. The Android OS, particularly Honeycomb, had long been used by iPad competitors. The Nexus 7 tablet also included the latest version of Android, 4.1, or Jelly Bean.
Like the Kindle Fire, the Nexus 7 offers specifications comparable to other tablets while also taking advantage of the rich library of applications that were available through Google's Android Market. Featuring a seven-inch display, the Nexus 7 also uses Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 processor while also sporting 1GB of internal RAM and the option of up to 16GB of storage.
The combination of a high-end processor, a multitude of applications optimized for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and a $199 price tag for the 8GB model gives Google a chance to make a dent in the tablet market. Early indications are that the pre-orders for the Nexus 7 are substantial. If Google succeeds with the Nexus 7, the pressure will grow on Apple to introduce its own seven-inch model, the protests of the late Steve Jobs notwithstanding.
