The FreeWalkers have an opportunity to participate in this well-established international 50-mile walking event in Sittard, Netherlands on Saturday, April 19, 2014. We have been graciously invited and encouraged to attend an event that is not just a long walking tradition but a global community experience.
The Kennedy-Mars Sittard Walk came into existence in 1963 when the American president John F.Kennedy spoke the words "I think most American people are so weak, they can't even walk fifty miles within 20 hours". At many places people tried to prove these words didn't apply to them. In Sittard, four high school students started the first Kennedy Walk. It developed into a tradition.
In 2013 the number of participants was 2906. This is the oldest continuous 50-mile walking event in the world and a great community event as well as international challenge. Participants always seem to want to come back again, year after year.
The distance to be covered is 80 km (about 50 miles). It must be completed within 20 hours. It is only permitted to walk or speed-walk. Running or jogging is not allowed. Roads are hardsurfaced. The route is marked by arrows. Registration cost is 20 Euros. We register at the City Sport Hall (our starting point) on Friday 18 April and will be prepared to set out by 5:00 a.m.
Ad Van Der Loo is our primary contact and one of the original founders of the walk in 1963. Ray Smith befriended Ad last year as he walked this event for the third time and was asked to speak to the entire congregation of 3,000 last year, representing the FreeWalkers in the U.S. Ad has promised to encourage others to attend our events in the future. You can read Ray's account of last year's event here.
All FreeWalkers are invited with a limited number of friends and family to join the Kennedy-Mars Sittard for 2014. Ad Van Der Loo has arranged for 10 families to volunteer to host our walkers for the nights of April 18 & 19. The event only requires a registration fee of 20 Euros. There is plenty of refreshments provided along the way.
This is a chance to visit a country known for his beauty and hospitality - and walking (and biking), which Europeans enjoy in a whole different way. While there are shorter events also available for this walk, we are seeking others that are willing to walk the full 50-miles in unison with us.
Other Benefits
Ray and Paul are planning to spend a couple days in Amsterdam (April 16-17) before we head to Sittard on Friday to meet Ad and to register for the walk (march). Depending on who and how many are interested we can determine the best and most economical lodging, if you want to consider those factors as a group. That's up to you.
Bottom Line
Ray and Paul will be flying out separately to Amsterdam. You must book your own flights. Flight will range from $1,200 to $1,500 round trip from Newark International at this point. Other costs would be lodging in Amsterdam (which is optional or could be shared with Ray and Paul).There would be minimal cost in Sittard as we would be hosted by Dutch families.

(This post is part of the 2014 TCG National Conference: Crossing Borders {Survive| Thrive} blog salon curated by Caridad Svich.)
The relationship between theatres and communities in the 21st century is both digital and global. What was once uniquely a live and local event has transformed into something many could never have imagined. We are long past, if and when, and well into why and how. Today, there are a plenty of artists and organizations around the world exploring and experimenting with new technologies. Out of desire and necessity, they communicate and collaborate on a worldwide scale. What's needed now are the best tools and resources to enhance and enrich these developing theatrical communities.
Imagine a website where the best of the world's theatre news is collected, reviewed, shortlisted and translated for its readers; where every country with an active theatre community is represented; where content is curated by seasoned professionals for the most discerning of viewers. Imagine also that this website is graphically appealing, extremely responsive and easy to use. This website is a reality, and it's called NITEnews.
NITEnews provides artists opportunities to access and impact culture in remarkable new ways. Browsing through the different sections, readers can see the extensive work put into every article. NITEnews provides important information and context in each article, enabling every visitor to have an extensive and in-depth experience. Exclusive, original articles and interviews are conducted on a worldwide scale, with collaborators providing diverse and expert opinions and insights. The 'Spotlight' section is the primary example of this. Other content is not simply aggregated, but is carefully verified and sculpted, with images and content that expands on the source material.
The database allows viewers multiple entry points as the articles are categorized by location as well as discipline, so every visitor can feel comfortable directly accessing the information that he or she finds interesting. The principal language of NITEnews is English, but the site offers an on-the-fly service from 'Google-Translate' that enables viewers from every corner of the globe access to the content. By no means flawless, the tool still opens doors previously closed. Although the output is primarily in English, the input is quite different. NITEnews collects content from a plethora of linguistic sources, and then conducts original translations of the text.
NITEnews values its audiences' time, and thus offers a weekly newsletter subscription service that sends the latest news to its viewers' inboxes to be digested whenever is most convenient. Also, if you are a writer, a translator or have an interest in contributing your voice, NITEnews is very open to original content proposed by working theatre artists anywhere. Just click the 'Publish' link on the website and send a message to the staff.
NITEnews is a service provided by New International Theatre Experience (NITE) is a global organization, based in NYC and Madrid, that supports and empowers theatre makers by revolutionizing the way artists and administrators create, connect and cooperate. Founded in 2012 by Beatriz Cabur and Douglas Howe, NITE provides access to artistic, social and intellectual experiences by creating both physical and virtual platforms for investigation, innovation and interaction. We are at a turning point in which theatre is changing in profound ways, and NITE is here to contribute to its evolution.
Douglas Howe is the co-founder and executive director of New International Theatre Experience (NITE). He has directed over 30 productions in 5 countries. He served as Artistic Director of Thalatta! from 2001-07, and Artistic Director of The Internationalists from 2007-13.

In 2011, he worked in Sydney as the International Liaison Officer at Playwriting Australia. He is a member of the Lincoln Center Directors Lab, The Fence Playwriting Network, LMDA, SAG/AFTRA and AEA. He also serves as the HowlRound Commons Producer in New York.

The Generator hostel is right in the centre of London. Specifically, it's in Bloomsbury – a rarefied part of town where the universities, publishing houses, libraries and museums make you feel way smarter than you are.

But Bloomsbury itself offers more than enough if you can't be bothered to travel. In fact, the many public squares and parks – Russell, Tavistock, Brunswick – are great place to kill a summer's afternoon if you literally don't want to move. Nearby are some restaurants, pubs, and esteemed cultural institutions worth checking out.

The goal is to see where the needs of conservation organizations for basic scientific information can mesh with current or future research interests of WHOI staff, and how mutually beneficial collaborations can be established that can enhance the scientific validity and efficacy of conservation policies and actions. WHOI and the NGOs have different fundamental missions and can interact and support one another by providing basic research skills from WHOI and strengths in public communication and policy effectiveness from the conservation organizations.
Proposed Format: A 2 ½ day workshop with opportunities for WHOI and NGO staff to present their research interests and conservation programs, to discuss what kind of information is needed, how it can be obtained, and how long term cooperation can be established. The workshop could include plenary presentations and small working groups. Straw proposals for collaborative programs in research or education related to conservation science could be discussed.
Proposed Presentations (15-20 min each):
WHOI-Ocean Life Institute research programs:
- Right Whale Research and Conservation Initiative
- Reef Fish Connectivity and Conservation Initiative
- Albatross Demography project
- Mathematical Ecology
- Seamount and deep-sea coral ecology
- Coral growth and physiology
- Research facilities for conservation science
NGO Conservation and Research programs:
- Overview presentations on current or planned marine programs
- Description of specific projects
Possible Topics for Working Groups:
- Spatial organization and population connectivity
- Demography and population dynamics
- Behavior
- Physiology
- Pollutant responses
- Molecular and genetic tools
- Tagging, tracking, monitoring technology
- Ocean noise and marine mammals
- Mathematical and theoretical analyses and models
- Time-series and large-scale data integration
Possible Areas of Collaboration:
- Curriculum in conservation science
- Joint research projects
- Technology development and application
Proposed Meeting Schedule:
Day 1 -

Hotel & Travel information »
Further Information:
If interested in participating in the Workshop, and/or if you have suggestions for additional topics or schedule, please contact Ellen Bailey, Ocean Life Institute Administrator, at 508-289-2741or email@example.com. We expect the individual WHOI and NGO presentations will be limited to 15-20 minutes each and will need a title and short abstract of each talk to help design the working groups.

FotoFest 2012 wraps up this weekend and it's the last chance to see its offerings as well as those at participating spaces. Definitely make time to see Jawshing Arthur Liou's stunning panoramic video at Poissant Gallery. Poissant may not be on your radar but this show is a must-see. Kora, 2011-2012 is projected cinema scale in the back room of the gallery. The video, which feels absolutely otherworldly, was shot on Liou's four-day meditative pilgrimage (Kora) around Tibet's sacred Mount Kalish.
His pilgrimage wasn't tourism, Liou had lost his young daughter to leukemia in 2007. Grieving, he turned to Buddhism for solace The wide-open landscape is so beautiful that it is painful. The focus of Liou's lens is selective; the mountains in the distance, the faces of other pilgrims are all blurred. Only the path in front of him is in focus. The camera sees brightly colored prayer flags, the stacks of rocks, some with bits of engraved text or symbols, others with rusty-looking lichen that looks like dried blood, a patch of snow with what appears to be a drip of actual blood…
The footage is transcendent, it looks as if he's capturing the top of the world. It's moving whether or not you know the reason for Liou's trek. If you do, the poignancy is as painful as the beauty.
Also at Poissant are Osamu James Nakagawa's photographs of the caves of Okinawa. The caves were a sacred site for the indigenous peoples of the island off the coast of Japan and where Okinawan civilians, Japanese soldiers and Allied forces hid from and fought each other during WWII. Soldiers committed suicide rather than surrender as did whole families who were told they'd be tortured if captured by the Americans. Caves were blown up by both sides with people inside them. The list of horror is long.
Nakagawa's images were shot in the caves by painting their dark interiors with a flashlight to illuminate them. Here and there in the expanse of rock you see evidence of past life – but mainly past death. A piece of shirt is stuck to a rock seemingly turned glassy by a blast of heat so intense the rock literally melted. You see a glimpse of skull here, a femur there. To call them "haunting" is an understatement.
The exhibitions close Saturday, April 28.
1 Response
This was one of the best exhibitions I have had the privilege to work through- even though I sat with the work almost every day for a month, I never got tired of looking at it. Sitting in the gallery was like being in a temple… though the exhibition is over, I will definitely be going out of my way in the future to see work made by these two artists.

The opening reception for "The Crossroads of Memory: Carroll Clear and the American South" on June 7, 2013 attracted nearly a thousand guests to the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, including his vivacious widow, Pat Cloar Milsted. Celebrating the centenary of the artist's birth (in Earle, Arkansas), the show includes 86 Cloar paintings, the largest collection of his oeuvre ever gathered in one place. "Cloar looks simple," says Stanton Thomas, curator of the exhibition, "but when you begin to take apart the pieces, you see they're really profound."

The Various Perks Associated With Using Hair Extension
How To Buy The Hair Extensions?
So, you have decided to use hair extension. Buying the best quality extension can be time consuming, stressful and confusing if you have no idea about it. An overly processed hair extension will prove a costly mistake for you. Before you buy the hair extension, you need to understand this industry and then make an informed buying decision. Consider the application method and processing procedure of the hair extension and then make a purchase.
Should you consider the hair sample?
Before you buy hair extension, ask the supplier to send you the sample of hair. You can have a look at it to judge the quality of the hair you will be getting. But, before doing this, you need to choose only a reliable and the best hair supplier. This is so because many providers send excellent hair samples and later on they send bad hair.
Consider the hair origin
The origin of the hair is another determining factor to guide your buying decision. When it comes to Russian and European hair, they may originate from any of the places where the hair is collected. Russian and European hair suppliers may come from any places. You need to know about the exact place of the hair. European and Russian hair may originate from any country, but it is available in a variety of textures and types.
Remy or non-Remy
When you are buying hair extension, do consider if the hair is Remy or not. Have a look at the midshaft, the roots and the end of the hair. Do not settle for non-Remy hair.

EPDProject ID: ENV4950120
Funded under:
A tool for paleoenvironment and palaeoclimate recocnstructions at a continental scale.
Project details
Total cost:Not available
EU contribution:Not available
Coordinated in:France
Topic(s):010102 - The climate system in the past
Funding scheme:CSC - Cost-sharing contracts
To standardise and archive palynological data, including detailed information on the specific sites, for exploitation with modern computing techniques, and to promote the use of pollen data for climate research.
For several decennia palynologists have established numerous pollen sequences, which have enabled
reconstructions throughout Europe of the Younger Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation and climate history. The
European Pollen Database is standardising, archiving, and distributing these data in a form suitable for modern
computer based analysis.
The three contractors constitute the Executive Committee for the management of the database. In addition the
management structure includes an Advisory Board of 10 members representing the major European regions. The
palynological network at the base of the EPD consists of researchers from 25 countries.
The EPD was established in previous EU research programmes, but the present project is different in that the
EPD has been given an independence from specific application projects. This independence has appeared
desirable in order to help increase the number of contributions and contributors and the free access of users.
More than 500 sites have been compiled so far, and it is intended to double this number within the next two
years. The EPD organizes meetings and training courses in order to promote contributions. The management
and utilisation rules have been defined by a protocol. A newsletter is published every year. Within EPD
specialised software is being developed to facilitate the use of the data and the access of users.
EPD represents a tool for EU climate research through the establishment of palaeobiome reconstructions for the
validation of climate models.
The EPD is the natural depository for all newly acquired palynological data within EU funded projects.

We are working hard to raise funds for Royce's adoption and looking into wether we can adopt him. His little picture is the wallpaper on my iphone and he is always in my prayers. His adoption grant is up to $1,474.20 now and, if we are to be his parents we will need to raise a lot more. So our eyes are fixed on a lofty goal. Please encourage support of our efforts through my blog at threestrawberries.wordpress.com and lets get Royce home! Thanks.ReplyDelete
I love to hear from you! Your thoughts and opinions and questions and everything in between. Drop me a note!

The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was founded in 1944 in response to termination and assimilation policies that the United States forced upon the tribal governments in contradiction of their treaty rights and status as sovereigns. NCAI stressed the need for unity and cooperation among tribal governments for the protection of their treaty and sovereign rights. Since 1944, the National Congress of American Indians has been working to inform the public and Congress on the governmental rights of American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Over a half a century later, our goals remain unchanged. NCAI has grown over the years from its modest beginnings of 100 people to include member tribes from throughout the United States. Now serving as the major national tribal government organization, NCAI is positioned to monitor federal policy and coordinated efforts to inform federal decisions that affect tribal government interests.
Now as in the past, NCAI serves to secure for ourselves and our descendants the rights and benefits to which we are entitled; to enlighten the public toward the better understanding of the Indian people; to preserve rights under Indian treaties or agreements with the United States; and to promote the common welfare of the American Indians and Alaska Natives.

That's interesting since in Canada, there are Aboriginal politicians which have garnered the latest attention of the media as seen in this article in the Vancouver Sun newspaper.
There are however some who are better, of course. I don't have the sources yet but it can be done.

Canon Digital IXUS 50 digital camera introduction
Canon Digital IXUS 50 digital camera introduction
: Canon releases the 5.0 Megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 50. Based on the sleek compact body shape of recently released Canon IXUS 40, the superbly finished stainless steel Canon Digital IXUS 50 features a similar range of new features introduced with its big brother, the Canon Digital IXUS 700. The Canon IXUS 50 digital camera features a 3.0x zoom, a large 2.0-inch LCD, high quality VGA video clips at 30fps limited in length only by the capacity of the memory card, high speed USB 2.0, 'My Colour' in-camera colour editing and a Print/Share button for easy PictBridge direct printing and fast file uploads. Its 5.0 Megapixel sensor allows detailed enlargements up to A3 size.
For fast start up times, responsive performance and superb, accurate colours and image rendering, the camera features the same high speed DIGIC II processor found in Canon's latest professional series digital SLR cameras. "The Canon Digital IXUS 50 combines the very latest cutting edge technologies and specifications with uncompromising design and build quality," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. "Our smallest ever 5.0 Megapixel optical zoom camera continues the IXUS tradition of superbly designed and specified products that just feel great from the second you pick them up."
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Superb quality, great performance
Colour gradation and white balance accuracy are improved with Canon's purpose built second generation DIGIC II image processor, to ensure the very finest image quality. DIGIC II speed and accuracy allows sophisticated and complex processing algorithms to be used in image rendering, without any trade-off in camera performance.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Digic II processor
DIGIC II also helps achieve a fast start up time of just over a second and uninterrupted 2.1frame per second shooting until the memory card fills. A new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface provides one of the fastest upload speeds in this category. An abundance of processing capacity also supports a new high-speed image playback function, image jump function (jump 10 or 100 images at a time or jump to previous shooting date), fast image rotation and an increased card writing speed.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Bigger, brighter screen
A new QuickBright LCD function on the large 2.0-inch screen takes the display temporarily to maximum brightness, improving visibility in glary or outdoor conditions. Composition and framing in low light conditions is made easier with a Night Display function, which improves visibility on the LCD without affecting recorded image exposure.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - New stills features
A new 'Hold' function increases 'shoot-and-share' enjoyment by allowing users to extend indefinitely the display of a newly shot images, which can then be deleted without switching first to replay mode. The Canon 50 returns immediately to shooting mode when the shutter button is pressed again. A new My Colours function gives users pre-capture control over colours in both stills and movies. Nine sophisticated colour editing features include Colour Swap, the facility to replace one colour with another, Colour Accent, the ability to convert all but one colour area of an image to monochrome, Vivid Blue, Green or Red, to emphasize the selected primary colour, and Lighter or Darker Skin Tone, the facility to darken or lighten a person's skin without affecting the colour balance of the surroundings.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Shooting modes
A total of 10 shooting modes are provided for maximum versatility and ease of use. Included are six 'Special Scene' modes which help produce great results in difficult lighting conditions by optimising camera settings such as white balance and exposure for specific shooting situations. Scene modes include 'Night Snapshot', 'Kids & Pets', 'Portrait' and 'Underwater', for use with the camera's optional All Weather case. Manual mode allows more experienced or adventurous users to take control of settings such as white balance, metering, ISO sensitivity and shutter speed, which extend from 15 sec. (in Long Shutter mode) to 1/1500 sec. Self-timer functionality improves with the facility to select from range of delays (1 –10 sec, 15, 20 or 30 sec) and the number of shots taken at the end of the delay (from one to ten shots).
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Improved movie features
The Canon Digital IXUS 50 also incorporates a number of new advanced video features. My Colours effects can also be applied in movies, and Digital Zoom is now available while shooting video. To minimise deterioration associated with digital zooming, CCD control is optimised to capture maximum information from the CCD. Users can record up to one minute at 60fps for smooth in-camera slow motion playback. Control over slow motion improves with more sensitive, five speed level adjustment, while white balance and exposure adjusts automatically during video capture. For recording clips suitable for email attachment, a 'Compact' mode provides for recording up to 3 minutes of 15fps, 160 x 120 resolution files.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Inbuilt assistant
The Intelligent Orientation Sensor not only rotates automatically images taken with the camera held vertically, it also improves auto white balance, auto focus and auto exposure by helping the camera's iSAPS 'in-built assistant' processing take into account likely positions of sky and foreground.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Advanced accessories
An optional 3m depth All Weather case Canon AW-DC30 gives plenty of protection for splashing around, expanding the possibilities of locations into which the camera can be taken. A new optional High Power Flash accessory, the Canon HF-DC1, further extends lighting options and night shooting range. With a guide number of 18 (ISO 100, metres), the slave flash automatically fires in-sync with the camera's in-built flash, ignoring any pre-flash. It can be adjusted to three power output settings based on the aperture value of the camera. The unit attaches to the camera with a supplied bracket that maintains the ability to mount both camera and flash on a tripod.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Easy printing, easy sharing
PictBridge direct printing functionality is supported, for photo prints without the need for a computer. When coupled with DIGIC II Compact Photo Printers such as the new Compact Photo Printer Canon SELPHY CP600, the camera/printer combination is capable of producing borderless photo prints in just 63 seconds. ID photo print, N-Up printing and movie clip series printing are also supported. A postcard date impression mode imprints the date/time on each print.
DIGITAL IXUS 50 - Software
Software supplied includes ZoomBrowser EX 5.1 (Windows) and ImageBrowser 5.1 (Mac) for viewing, managing and archiving images. Other software includes PhotoStitch and PhotoRecord, plus photo manipulation software ArcSoft PhotoStudio. Drivers include TWAIN (Windows 98/2000) and WIA (Windows Me). Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) support allows the camera to connect to any Windows XP (SP1 – 2) and Mac OS X (v10.1.5 - 10.3) system without the requirement for a driver installation.
Camera ownership entitles the purchaser to register for 100MB storage space on the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, an online gallery where images and movies can be stored in albums and shared to selected friends and family. New My Camera functions (such as shutter sounds and start up images) can also be downloaded to the camera from Canon iMAGE GATEWAY.

Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Tuesday that House Republicans would introduce a bill to raise tax rates for millionaires as a Plan B in case his negotiations with President Obama on averting the fiscal cliff fail to produce an agreement.
At a press conference with Republican leaders, Boehner insisted Republicans would continue to work with the White House to find a balanced solution to the fiscal cliff that also cuts spending. But in the meantime, Boehner said, the House would soon hold a vote in an effort to protect as many American taxpayers as possible from the tax hikes scheduled to hit on January 1.
Our hope continues to be to reach an agreement with the President on a balanced approach that averts the fiscal cliff, said Boehner. What weve offered meets the definition of balance, but the President is not there yet. The White House offer yesterday was essentially $1.3 trillion in new revenues for only $850 billion in net spending reductions. Thats not balanced, in my opinion. So at the same time that were going to continue to talk with the President, were going to also move Plan B.
Boehner was referring to a White House offer in which Obama lowered his tax revenue demand by $200 billion and offered to start tax rate increases at $400,000 in income instead of $250,000 a year.
I think we all know that every income tax filer in America is going to pay higher rates come January 1 unless Congress acts, Boehner added. So I believe its important that we protect as many American taxpayers as we can. Our Plan B would protect American taxpayers who make $1 million or less, and have all of their current rates extended.
Boehner emphasized that he continues to hope that House Republicans can reach a broader agreement with the White House to reduce spending as well as have revenues on the table.
I think itd be better for our country, but at this point, having a backup plan that makes sure that as few American taxpayers are affected by this increase as possiblemoving down that path is the right course of action for us, he said.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney indicated that President Obama would not accept Boehners Plan B, and he noted the bill would not be able to pass the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, unlike the House.
The President has put a balanced, reasonable proposal on the table that achieves significant deficit reduction and reflects real compromise by meeting the Republicans halfway on revenue and more than halfway on spending from where each side started. That is the essence of compromise, said Carney. The parameters of a deal are clear, and the President is willing to continue to work with Republicans to reach a bipartisan solution that averts the fiscal cliff, protects the middle class, helps the economy, and puts our nation on a fiscally sustainable path. But he is not willing to accept a deal that doesnt ask enough of the very wealthiest in taxes and instead shifts the burden to the middle class and seniors.
"The Speakers Plan B approach doesnt meet this test because it cant pass the Senate and therefore will not protect middle class families, and does little to address our fiscal challenges with zero spending cuts," Carney added. "The President is hopeful that both sides can work out remaining differences and reach a solution so we dont miss the opportunity in front of us today.

LGBTQ* Intersex Documentaries You Should Keep On Your Radar
(Following text from the documentary's website🙂
The first question any new parent asks… "Is it a boy or a girl?"What if it's neither?
1 in 2,000 babies is born with genitalia so ambiguous that the doctors cannot easily answer this question.
In this groundbreaking documentary, intersex individuals reveal the secrets of their unconventional lives – and how they have navigated their way through this strictly male/female world, when they fit somewhere in between.

This past summer I had the opportunity to work with Min Ragan-Kelley and Matthew Rocklin on delivering a tutorial at the scientific computing conference, SciPy 2016, in Austin, Texas. We set out to teach folks generally about parallel computing in the context of data analysis and not necessarily about any one tool. That is, focusing on core concepts rather than a specific framework. There is something strangely visceral when you are first learning about distributed computation and different hostnames pop up when executing a simple map across the cluster; and to that end, we wanted to give students access to a cluster capable of doing significant work -- something more than a toy. The tutorial was well received and all the content is publicly available:
Note: these materials will also be reused in an upcoming PyData Tutorial in Washington, DC
Many tutorials can get stuck (and sometimes fail) on setup and in the post I want to describe, in detail, our solution. We drew on our previous experiences running tutorials/trainings/lectures/etc. Our goal was to give students access to a preconfigured cluster with zero entry requirements: push a button get a cluster with all tools installed.
In graduate school, I helped with summer workshops teaching students, postdocs, and professors about Python in the context of biophysics and complex systems. Attendees showed up with a variety of machines and OSes: Linux, Windows, and OSX (both Intel and PPC). At least a collective day was spent getting our software and materials installed on all the machines so students could get hands on experience. Often our issues were handling multiple versions of Python but also odd bugs which invariably arise during trainings: permission errors, hard drive size limits, VPN blocking...
More recently, I helped build and run a tutorial at SciPy 2013: Data Processing with Python. Each student was given access to an individual clusters preconfigured with: Hadoop MapReduce, Disco, and IPython Parallel. It was a tremendous effort to stand this up and involved piles of bash, Python, and the magic of StarCluster -- and it all had to be setup before the class started with the caveat that total provisioning took ~5 hours. Still, it worked -- though, I was exhausted.
Not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the past and hearing great things about GCE and Kubernetes we committed early on to the Google Cloud Platform. Generously, Google donated resources for us to build out and iterate on our tutorial cluster platform. We are extremely appreciative of their support!
"Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications." What this means, is that if you have a service wrapped up in docker image, Kubernetes can help you do a number of things: deploy the image to a machine, scale the services and load balance between N containers, and handle things like auto-restarting, rolling upgrades, and generally the management that is often involved with running larger scale web services. Additionally, the Kubernetes cluster itself is fungible -- with a few button clicks, GKE can manage Kubernetes installed on a single medium-sized instance to dozens of extremely large instances. This is especially helpful when needing to scale computing resources as demand increases.
It's worth repeating that using Kubernetes does mean buying into the container ecosystem -- in our case that means Docker.

Our goal was to give students access to a preconfigured cluster with zero entry requirements: push a button get a cluster with all tools installed. To accomplish this we need a handful of docker images:
And a handful of Kubernetes concepts:
At a high level the web application launches a specific image within a unique namespace with requested resources, expose ports on the running containers, replicates some containers, and sets environment variables. And all of this, both the hardware resouces and the containers is being managed by Kubernetes. The web app is a Docker container, the proxy app is another Docker container, the namespaced clusters are a collection of Docker containers (the workers are replication controllers). It's Dockers as far as the eye can see!.
I should also note that my friend and colleague, Daniel Rodriguez, contributed significantly to this effort and he worked out much of architecture and implementation with Kubernetes.
In building out this service we looked at previous work: mybinder and tmpnb. Both of these services launch temporary Jupyter notebooks using Docker. Similarly, we want a single page web application to launch a temporary Jupyter notebook connected to an isolated N-node cluster, where each cluster is running a variety of distributed computing engines -- also, we'd like to scale the number workers in the cluster.
The button is pushed, a cluster+notebook is produced and the user is redirected to the running Jupyter notebook.
When we launch a container (Pod in Kubernetes) each Pod has an internal ip but it can optionally expose a publicly available ip and set of ports. If we want to support unique clusters for each button click, we either have to generate unique public IPs and hand them back to the user or proxy to the private IPs. Since we'd like to keep everyone on the same domain, we proxy to private IPs (see diagram above). Simply, this means that when a user goes to a running notebook at https://cluster.bigfatintegral.net/cluster-678343, for example, the proxy routes to the internal container. Below is an example of routing in the proxy:
Note, that we proxy to four different PORTs with four URL endpoints:
Where port
8080 routes to the Jupyter notebook, port
9000 routes to the Dask scheduler, and ports
9001 and
9002 route to the Dask's web interface. All the routes can be found here: http://22.214.171.124/api/routes.
Again, much of this architecture is heavily influenced by tmpnb and uses the same proxy app -- a small NodeJS app also built by the good folks from the Jupyter team: https://github.com/jupyterhub/configurable-http-proxy .
You may be wondering how the route was registered. Service discovery/auto-registration is a bit of magic and there are handful of tools to help with this problem. Consul/etcd/Zookeeper seem to be the popular choices -- however, in our case, we opted for something small and hand built; when a Pod is launched, the startup process includes a registration script which sends a POST containing the IP and the exposed PORT of the Pod to the proxy app. The proxy app holds the data in memory and waits for an incoming request to route to.
The intro to Kubernetes has the user build out a small NodeJS Docker image and a YAML file. When used with the
kubectl command, the YAML file instructs Kubernetes which kind of thing it is: a replicationController, a Service, a bare Pod, what ports to expose, etc. If you are familiar with docker-compose files many of the ideas map nicely. Instead of building these files and using the command line to build a cluster we want to use the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes does not provide a language based API. Instead, they provide a swagger spec and from this, swagger can generate valid Python (or any other language) objects and functions to properly interact with Kubernetes.
# how to generate a python swagger client
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/master/api/swagger-spec/v1.json
brew install swagger-codegen
swagger-codegen generate -i v1.json -l python
While this code generation is a good starting point, there are no docs provided to instruct you on how to use the API. Daniel is fantastic and started the process of trial and error, eventually building up an intuition for how to navigate the code. Below is an example of how we started to understand the namespace API. We want to use namespaces for each cluster launched because we want isolate virtual clusters.
We first noted two directories: swagger_client/models and swagger_client/apis.
swagger_client/apis/apiv_api.pyhas many of the actions we want to perform with Kubernetes has and
swagger_client/modelshas what looks like every model/spec for the Kubernetes universe of things. Let's look in swagger_client/models for something called
namespace. Ah! v1_namespace.py seems like a good place to start.
swagger_typeslooks like the spec in a YAML file:
kind: Namespace. Look at the spec in the docs -- Ok, now we'll fail our way to success -- wait! How do we create namespace? Grep in
namespaceand there are a bunch of functions. create_namespaced_namespace seems like a good place to start. The docstring says the
bodyparam is a
V1Namespaceobject so let's start building an object
class NameSpace(V1Namespace):
def __init__(self, name, proxy=None, *args, **kwargs):
super(NameSpace, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.kind = "Namespace"
self.api_version = "v1"
self.metadata.name = name
And we test:
ipdb> from .namespaces import NameSpace
ipdb> ns = NameSpace('hello')
ipdb> self.api.create_namespaced_namespace(ns)
*** core.swagger_client.rest.ApiException: (400)
Reason: Bad Request
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Content-Length': '405', 'Date': 'Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:30:04 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
HTTP response body: {"kind":"Status","apiVersion":"v1","metadata":{},"status":"Failure","message":"the object provided is unrecognized (must be of type Namespace): couldn't get version/kind; json parse error: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type struct { APIVersion string \"json:\\\"apiVersion,omitempty\\\"\"; Kind string \"json:\\\"kind,omitempty\\\"\" } (2268656c6c6f22)","reason":"BadRequest","code":400}
It's not the most helpful of error messages -- but we keep hammering away at it until we've got the correct body contents. It goes like this until we get the
NameSpaceobject correctly setup
With a functional API we can wrap various can now dynamically construct models and build namespaces as part of a web application. Using tornado seems like a good choice here since the app is mostly idling. Let's dig in a bit to what the cluster Docker setup is made of.
Not just any ordinary docker image, this image has it all!
This image is the core of the cluster; responsible for running all of the distributed computing engines and environment setup. When launched as a replication controller we can scale the workers to N containers. Notice that we only have one image -- we use the same image in two modes: scheduler and worker.
Note: normally the recommendation is to run one service per docker image -- in our case, we're going to run up to four. This is ok here mostly because the intended usage is to only work with one service at a time. The various schedulers and workers are idling and not consuming many resources (mem/cpu)
The modes of the same image are differentiated by the command executed when launching
The scheduler command registers the container with the proxy, starts a notebook server, and starts all the schedulers for Dask, Spark, and IPython Parallel. The worker command simply starts the workers for Dask, Spark, and IPython Parallel.
By declaring the workers as replicationControllers we can scale up and down the workers in a given cluster. This is done in a single tunable parameter. During the tutorial we also used the feature to show off the flexibility of Dask; with a running cluster executing a Dask job, we scaled the number of workers to 100 and Dask happily added 92 more workers to the job to the initial 8.
We ran the tutorial for a class size of 100+ students and additionally during Matt Rocklin's and Jim Crist's Dask Talk. I often worry and expect things to crash spectacularly and, in our case, everything went surprisingly well! The first part of the tutorial was designed to be executed on personal machines and, as I said mentioned before, personal machines come in all varieties of OSes and platforms -- and now, including tablets! We designed the cluster to clone all of our tutorial materials from Github so students, should install problems arise, could continue following along without a prolonged time resolving setup issues.
The cluster could run cheaply with a single medium sized instance and a few minutes before students arrived we provisioned additional resources. In total, each machine could have up to 2.0 vCPUs and 8GBs of RAM or a cluster with 16 vCPUs and 64 GBs of RAM.
Kubernetes more than lived up to the hype and again, we are very grateful to the generous support from Google in helping us build and share this with the PyData and SciPy communities.

Using a foundational sub-physical abstraction for quanta and interactions, our physicality is minimally sufficient, and has wide emergent coverage. Systems are self-generating, intrinsically background-free, and the mechanism is constitution-invariant.
Our deterministic mechanism for physicality has simple rules, from which other detail emerges:
Our mechanism implicitly includes gravitation and charge-based forces (weak, strong, electric), without explicitly formulating them into abstract dimensions. Likewise, quanta are not inherently 'electric', 'magnetic', nor 'gravitational'; their observed effect depends on the context and attribution of quanta to their structured sources.
This report summarizes ongoing research and development since our 2012 foundation paper, including the emergent effects of a deterministic mechanism for fermion interactions: (1) the coherence of black holes and particles using a quantum chaotic model; (2) wide-scale (anti)matter prevalence from exclusion and weak interaction during the fermion reconstitution process; and (3) red-shift due to variations of vacuum energy density. We provide a context for Standard Model fields, and show how gravitation can be accountably unified in the same mechanism, but not as a unified field.

Made of high quality elastic with velcro closures for easy, comfortable fit. Ideal for support of abdominal muscles weakened from repeated surgery. Provides relief for muscle strains and sprains.
Rated 2.0 out of 5 based on 2 reviews.
This brace DID NOT does NOT do what it states. ON this SKINNY Model, it looks as IF it goes down as the Therall. BUT IT DOES NOT!!! AND TO BE FAIR, The Therall was purchased as a XL and I purchased the Bell-Horn at a XXL!
The Bell-Horn does NOT stay. IT RIDES UP when you sit or bend.
Maybe someone ought to look into making the Bell-Horn LONGER FOR THE PEOPLE who ACTUALLY NEED the Support and do not wear it as a waist cincher.
Helps with daily support, great when paired with back support devices

Rock n Roll fans - please welcome Hairy Mountain - the second album from West Australia's Datura4. Building upon the "guitars-to -infinity" approach of Datura4's acclaimed debut LP "Demon Blues", "Hairy Mountain" is ten solid tracks celebrating an unbridled joy for rock'n'roll, with a nod to the spiritual presence of their hairy Oz Rock forefathers.
Hailing from Fremantle in Western Australia, DATURA4 is the brainchild of Dom Mariani (frontman of legendary Australian garage rockers The Stems and Power Pop favourites DM3) and Greg Hitchcock (former You Am I and one-time New Christs' guitarist). In 2011 they joined forces combining a shared passion for full-tilt boogie, psychedelic rock and progressive blues.
Along with drummer Warren Hall who previously played with The Drones and bass player Stu Loasby DATURA4 have been steadily building a reputation in their hometown with their live performances.
The cover art for "Hairy Mountain" and "Demon Blues" is by Joshua Marc Levy/Asheville Art Family.
And the award for the best album title of the year goes to……
In the summer of last year, some Mp3s arrived at MV Towers from the Alive Naturalsound stable. Like when you were a kid you always knew that the red and white Atlantic spine was the mark of a great record, then reviewing as we do now, you always think "oh this might be cool" when it comes from certain labels.
This was from a band called Datura4, who had emerged from Aussie pop heroes DM3 and featured members of You Am I (a band who we'd loved back at the turn of the century) Datura4 dealt in classic rock and the album was a triumph. MV waxed lyrical on the subject and as well as calling "Demon Blues" amongst other things "spectacular", we said it was "kind of a cross between chilled out Psych rock, blues and fuzzy 1960s garage rock n roll.
Now, perhaps in the spirit of those classic rock forefathers, just over 12 months later comes "Hairy Mountain" and, it too is a triumph.
One that sort of belongs to the same hinterland as the debut, certainly the fuzzy bliss of opener "Fools Gold Rush" and the knowing 60s harmonies of the verse are a suggestion that this is another labour of love. That said "….Mountain" does move things into a more modern arena this time around. – MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC
Australian rock often seems confined to a few monster names, but the country still boasts a thriving scene that, as Datura4's follow-up to 2015's Demon Blues debut clearly shows, has a firm grasp on garage psych and progressive blues rock. – CLASSIC ROCK
With a fairly unique blend of ganja-grooves and big, retro-vocals, Datura4 have duxed it again with "Hairy Mountain" – they may be from beyond the Black Stump, but this album is ripper. Fire up the mull and tell me I'm wrong. – GET READY TO ROCK
Builds in true '70s psych-rock form, swirling from guitar-led turmoil to shoegaze clearings of reflection. – ROLLING STONE AU
With 10 solid tracks of lager guided melodies and balls out Rock 'n' Roll they have come to party like its 1969, evoking the spirit of bad-ass biker bar boogie bands with the swagger of Blue Cheer, The James Gang, The Allman Brothers and their Southern brethren. Following the critically acclaimed debut LP Demon Blues, Datura4 have fine-tuned their heads-down, no nonsense, timeless boogie and by adding a stronger element of Psych Blues to a natural flair for melody, their new album, Hairy Mountain, shows that this band are the real deal. – STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING
Datura4 has learned the first lesson of blues rock, if you've got a killer guitar tone, you've already taken the high ground. – GLACIALLY MUSICAL
Elements of hard-lined blues remain evident, but are primarily smoothed out by a dominant, free-formed '70s psych sparsity. Those sprawling soundscapes themselves threaten explosive outbreaks yet are reigned in further with a defining boogie, a heavy footstomp of swagger that sets a more contemporary course. – Johnny Nail / ROLLING STONE AU
As with pretty much anything else Mariani explores, he succeeds handily here – his sense of melody never deserts him, regardless of setting. It may not be the DM3, but Datura4 is just as true an expression of Mariani's musical will as anything he's ever done. – Michael Toland /BLURT
Out With The Tide is a thundering chunk of Antipodean boogie-sleaze, and rocks like a pair of possums on a see-saw.– CLASSIC ROCK
A great find for Alive Naturalsound, and a better one for you. Find 'em, fool 'em, but don't Forget 'em. – DaveDiMartino
Killer vintage rock. – GLACIALLY MUSICAL
A superb album, Datura4 manage to be even greater than the sum of their parts. – MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC (9/10 RATING)
Unlike a lot of bands with a taste for vintage heavy sounds, Datura4 also know when to apply a light touch, and the greasy slink of "Another Planet" and the stretched-out jamming on "Love to Burn" are the work of a band that's learned something about dynamics, with players who can turn it up or dial it back as the circumstances dictate. – ALL MUSIC
Datura4 reunites two of the West Australian underground scene's favourite sons in Dom Mariani (Stems, DM3) and Greg Hitchcock (You Am I, The Kryptonics, The Monarchs, The Bamboos, the New Christs.) Bandmates in the Go-Starts in their formative years, they're working together to indulge a mutual love of hard 'n' heavy classic rock.
They've been around since 2008 but "Demon Blues" is Datura4's debut and if you're a fan of Buffalo, late-period Masters Apprentices (when they got proggy) or the venerable Lobby Loyde and his boogiefied Colored Balls it'll grab you like a Torana driver's handshake in the days before power steering. "Demon Blues" is 'very 70s rock. There are saturated and overdriven guitars all over these 10 songs like a rash on a Led Zeppelin groupie.
There's also a deftness and pop sensibility in the undertow. It's a happy marriage of the hard-edged and the hooky. – The Barman / I-94 BAR (4.5/5 RATING)
Amazing stuff.. This will be on my list of top records for 2015 for sure... – WRITING ABOUT MUSIC
If you like fuzzed-out 70s guitar rock, it's pretty safe to say that you'll love this album. – GARY SCHWIND / AXS Entertainment (5/5 rating)

Innovative ideas—established companies want them and startups have them. According to a 2016 Deloitte report, 62% of the 357 professionals surveyed think corporate development has become a more important source of innovation for their companies over the last two years.
To get in early with companies that can take their business to the next level, many strategic investors work closely with accelerators and incubators, which help startups develop their products and ideas.
We determined the most active accelerators and incubators for manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and B2B companies using data from the PitchBook Platform. For each industry, we ranked accelerators and incubators by how many companies in that industry they invested in from 2012–2016. We also looked at the percentage of those companies that raised follow-on rounds.
When you dive into the rankings, you'll find Y Combinator, a major accelerator in Silicon Valley, was in the top two for each industry. MassChallenge, an accelerator out of Boston, dominated the manufacturing and healthcare rankings, with 71% of their manufacturing portfolio companies raising follow-on rounds. Barclays Accelerator, a branch of the banking giant, invested in seven financial services companies (no surprise there), 86% of which raised a follow-on round.
Those are just a few examples of the insights you can draw from our data. With the PitchBook Platform, corporate development teams can zero-in on networking opportunities, find promising acquisition targets, follow what's happening in their space and more.
Check out the top 10 accelerators and incubators for each industry—plus their most recent deals, strategic follow-on investors and primary contacts.
