Has it really been thirteen years since 1999? I was a tiny little thing, and I didn't know how great movies were about to get because I was too busy playing YMCA soccer and waiting for my Seventeen magazine to come in the mail (so I could take a boyfriend quiz about a boyfriend I didn't have). But that year was crazytown for movies- The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, American Beauty, Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, Being John Malkovich and FIGHT CLUB. If this is intriguing to you and you want to read a really well written but not at all funny article about this period in time/those movies there is one here (self promotion lol!)
The first time I watched Fight Club first I was like, wtf how does Brad Pitt do laundry on his own abs, and does that get tiring? and two, OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE. Watching this movie was like agreeing with myself over and over and over again. I would be watching it and be like, "That was awesome!!!" then to myself I would just as enthusiastically be like, "I know!!!! This is awesome!!!" Over and over and over again. Maybe like the fourth or fifth time I ever watched it, I sat down with a piece of paper and kept pausing it so I could write down all the quotes I liked and put them into my AIM profile. Actually. No comment on how many friends I had in seventh grade if books don't count 😉
GOD this movie is literally the coolest. I guess I should start talking about actual things in the movie not just how excited I am. Okay so basically, Edward Norton has insomnia and is trapped in this consumerist/Ikea mindset and one day his condo explodes and everything he has accumulated in his life up until this point is lost in an inferno of symbolism and flames. (ACTUALLY the other day I drove by the worst accident I have ever seen in my life, there was a car on the highway that was literally engulfed in flames and three lanes over INSIDE my car I could feel the heat on my face- so this scene had more weight for me this time than it ever has before). So he does what anyone would do who has no family or friends (never explained) he calls the person who sat next to him on his plane whose business card he just acquired to stay with him. Seems legit.
This person, Tyler Durden, agrees to meet him for beer which turns into agreeing to let him stay at his house (if I had a nickel for every time lol hi mom) on the condition that he hits him in this parking lot outside wherever they were. Only he does it in this perfect meter, making the line, "I want you to hit me as hard as you can" something for teenage boys to life masturbate to for decades to come (PUN). So they have this brawl, which is awesome, and apparently according to director David Fincher- they were supposed to be faking it, but right before they started shooting, he pulled Ed Norton aside and told him to really hit Brad Pitt- so the punch in the ear and Brad's subsequent reaction, "You hit me in the EAR" is all real. Cool. Moving on.
So, Edward Norton (who does not have a name in the film. He is 'unnamed narrator.' Obviously yes, he is Tyler Durden SPOILER ALERT but that's a made up character, we never actually know his real name. A lot of people refer to him as 'Jack' because of the those medical journal articles he finds in the bathroom and then references a bunch of times but that's not his name either) moves into the house on Paper Street and they start this lifestyle change. Basically everything Oprah would tell you to do, they do the opposite of that. They start training recruits and start something called "Project Mayhem."
OH forgot to mention crucial things. The first thing Edward Norton does to cure his insomnia-before he has Fight Club- is he gets addicted to support groups for different illnesses. Cancers, parasites, everything. He goes, cries, then can sleep. The best character we get from these scenes is "Bob" (which is really Meat Loaf in a fatsuit!!!) a man who has testicular cancer and "bitch tits." Then we get introduced to Marla Singer. This is a wonderful performance done by Helena Bonham Carter- originally the role was offered to REESE WITHERSPOON but she turned it down for being "too dark" and apparently David Fincher later said he thought she was too young. BUT IMAGINE. blech. But so Marla is this chain-smoking, bridesmaid dress wearing person who walks around saying things like, "the condom is the glass slipper of our generation" and "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school." Wonderful.
She is going to all the meetings too and this screws with Edward Norton's head. So they agree to split them up, they exchange numbers and go their separate ways. But then they get involved SEXUALLY (always a good idea) and surprise! this complicates things. I mean probably what was complicating things more was that he was psychologically splitting himself into two people without conscious knowledge of doing so- but as a viewer we're unaware of that at this point.
So they're fucking, Project Mayhem is developing- but lots of things start to go wrong, mainly Edward Norton feels jealous because Tyler didn't initially include him in Project Mayhem ("You decide your own level of involvement") and he feels replaced by a very blonde Jared Leto whom he then beats to a fucking pulp in one of the underground sessions. Which they have secured from 'Lou' because Brad Pitt in a BRILLIANT scene laughs the whole time he's getting beaten up by Lou (the club's owner) then shakes his own blood onto Lou as he holds him in a vice grip while other people try to pull them apart. cool cool cool cool.
Which reminds me, Brad Pitt goes fucking apeshit in this movie. You kind of forget cause as he's gotten older he's done things like Benjamin Button (another Fincher film actually. So is Se7en- they are a good team these two) and Mr. and Mrs. Smith- so you kind of forgot how good/crazy he is but then, you watch this movie and remember. Before filming he voluntarily went to a dentist and got his front teeth chipped to look more like he thought Tyler would look. Bomb.
So, all this stuff is developing with the project, then Tyler leaves and Edward is like, what the what, what's going on here? So he finds all these building addresses and plane tickets and he starts trying to trace Tyler's steps which are really his steps and there are all these clues for the mindfuck that's about to happen he keeps saying things like, "every place I went I had the strange feeling I had been there before" or "the second I stepped off the plane I would know where Tyler had been."
And he keeps trying to call the plan off but he's already warned them of this as Tyler, so they just try to cut his balls off but he escapes! Then basically he has a stand off with his imaginary self first in a parking garage around vans full of ether, then at the top of an abandoned building where everyone is gathering to watch the explosions. (They are blowing up credit card companies, so that the debt of everyone goes to zero in a socialist anarchist equalizer thing).
So he's up there and Tyler has the gun, but then Edward Norton does some Matrix mind voodoo and realizes if Tyler has the gun, really he has the gun. So he gets the gun, then he realizes the only way to get rid of Tyler is to kill a part of himself, so he takes the GUN he's holding and puts the barrel in his mouth and shoots himself. I've seen a lot of violence because I like watching violent movies and this shot is one of the most gruesome and realistic I've ever seen. The bullet shoots at an angle and blows the whole right side of his mouth out and there's black blood and smoke coming from this gaping hole in his jaw. Then all these other people from Project Mayhem come with Marla and a 30 rack of Busch Lite (party!) but when they see his face they freak out and leave? Or they're just out of scene. But the last shot (puns puns puns) is Edward Norton and Marla holding hands looking out, while everything around them explodes and a Pixies song plays. This is very different from the end of the book where they are in heaven ? And I don't remember what else because I read it in high school, but Chuck Palahniuk has said that he didn't know if viewers would believe the twist and he thought Fincher's ending was in a lot of ways a stronger choice.
Also, everyone always (well in high school/early college) says that this is their favorite movie, and it makes you hate it a little because it's so ubiquitous with 'cool' but then you watch it and you're like, "Oh right. It is that good."

Good morning quotes always made positive effects on relationship specially when you use good morning I love you quotes for loved ones can make your relationship very strong. Love is a gift from God. Not everyone is involved in it. It has feelings which can one feel and his or her partner can feel that same. Most of the couples have a breakup because they stop saying good morning I love you. Now days almost few people are single and mostly are in relation. When the relation starts there is only one conversation that I love you more than you and other said I love you more than you. This topic became starting to fade when you frequently date or meet almost on daily basis. Then it comes to only I love you.
When the same couples married, the ratio of saying I love you is reduced because they have started living together at one place. This same line I love you started using occasionally when the married couple stayed for 30 to 40 years together.
Why to Use Good Morning I Love You Quotes
Yes. It is necessary to say good morning I love you. It is not a traditional word to say or it is his or her legal right to hear from you. It is for your relation, for the one you have chosen, to care of your loved one, to let him or her know that you still love him or her and your love is still the same as it was on the day first. People now days think of finding one who is ideal for them and when they find them and get married they forgot what they have thought before and they start focusing on their career and their bank balance. You can use these good morning i love you quotes as your whatsapp status as well.
Then they argue with each other on their over expenses etc and in between them the basic word which was the cause of their patch up (I love you) skip from their life and the relation ends and then they realize what they have done to their selves. Whatever the conditions are whatever the circumstances are in your life, don't forget to tell your partner that you love her or him and will always.
Strength Of The Magical Words – I Love You
Consider the day first you saw someone and think that she or he is the one you have been looking and love at first sight or with the passage of time you realize it that you love her or him. The basic part is love and just think the partner once was with you in a relation of girl friend or boy friend and he or she say I love you thousands of time in a day while on call or on text or in your status. After some time when you are engaged that ratio decreased to hundreds and when you get married that ratio decreased to some times. You will start thinking that he or she is now taking it for granted and you cannot bear that. Cute Couple Quotes are my favorite topic to discuss about quotes.
Now consider when you wok up in the morning and you receive the same good morning I love you for your rest of the life daily, can you lose that relation. No, you will not. It will make you and your partner fresher and the love between you and your partner will always increase day by day. You will have no arguments on foolish things no hard feeling etc just because its enough that you both love each other and say it to one another and didn't left space among them for any other thing than love.
Saying I Love You Quotes Has Effect At Every Stage
There are some stages you pass on thru, but you didn't realize it. First stage when you tell her or him that you love her or him is the first stage and at this stage the essence and purity in your words is beyond compare. The second stage is when you get committed truly. Third stage is when you engaged with each other and final stage and most important stage is when you got married. Saying I love you at every stage is very effective. When you get from first stage to second and continue to say I love you, you partner get more attached with you just because that you have continued what you have started and didn't just said and forget.
When you come to final stage, when you get married it is very important to express your partner with your love and with your affection. If you failed to do so, you effort of years will be ruined and nothing will be in your hand and when you realize it will be much late.

This is the early stage of love when there is only one thing is in mind and that is love and only one personality is in mind is the partner. While sleeping, working, waking almost at every time only one thing is in mind and that is love and partner.

Sometimes the one who proposed have less level of love than the one whom he had propose. This is because of the purity of love and trueness in words and clarity of heart. It is not necessary that you must be rich, with bank balance. No, it's not the reason to love. Love is beyond and away from the reasons.
"If the early morning sky was a representation of every person I know, you are the sun and everyone else are the fading stars, soon to disappear by your blazing love. Good Morning"

In terms of new products launched, 2013 was an extremely good year for the automotive world. Exciting new sports models, like the updated Chevrolet Corvette and Jaguar F-Type, rejuvenated their brands. Meanwhile, mainstream models like the Honda Accord and Buick Regal exceeded all expectations.
Last year saw the launch of halo cars from the United States and Europe that seemed to find a crosshair between environmental friendliness and brutish performance.
Sedans suddenly turned sporty, and sporty cars were somehow practical. The crossover SUV segment seemed to finally find its footing, replacing a cadre of uninspired copycats with stylish, capable family haulers. We even saw the modest resurgence of station-wagons that had performance to match their practicality.
Here are eight of the cars that stunned us from behind the wheel in 2013, and leave us wondering how they might be bested in the coming year. We won't have long to wait, with the 2014 Detroit Auto Show set to introduce a raft of cool new vehicles.
The one that hits all the right notes: 2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S
The Jaguar F-Type is a study in appealing to human pleasure centers. A quick stint behind the wheel earlier this year confirmed the need for a longer test, and what a pleasure it was to become reacquainted with an old friend this autumn. The howling, snarling, and crackling exhaust note is intoxicatingly loud, and the ambience of luxury permeates the entire driving experience. If you can only drive one thrilling new car this year, then get to a dealership for a test drive of the Jaguar model that's turning the brand on its paws.
The one that refuses to let up: 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster
Jeffrey Jablansky
Automotive journalists admit a certain bias toward performance cars, especially those with everything in proportion: a long hood covering a massive engine, a chassis designed to make driving fun (even when you're stuck in traffic), and a cockpit that looks inspired by a fighter-jet. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster satisfies these criteria in spades, though without the SLS' signature gullwing doors. No matter: it performs as well al fresco, amplifying the sound of its V-8 engine toward the driver compartment. As this is the last year for the SLS, acting quickly has rarely been so crucial.
The one that injects fun into the mainstream: 2014 Honda Accord/Accord Hybrid
Everything that we said when we first drove the Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid, earlier in 2013, continues to ring true. You already know it's fun, economical, and it's built to outlast the next generation of the Accord. We just like spreading the good word.
A vision of future urban mobility: 2015 BMW i3
If BMW is to be believed, the next evolution of the ideal city car will be boxy and electrified, yet far from gutless. That was the lasting impression from a quick drive of the upcoming BMW i3 hatchback earlier this year on the surface streets of Los Angeles. The i3 is perhaps most notable for its capability for "one-pedal" driving, which enables heavy regenerative braking through its innovative EV powertrain. We're eager to see how the i3 fits in with the gaggle of Smart Fortwos and Scion iQ minicars on the streets of New York.
The shocking midsize sedan: 2014 Buick Regal GS
Here's a value proposition you weren't considering this year: an all-wheel-drive sledgehammer of a sedan that also offers a manual transmission, for about the same price as an entry-level luxury car. The Buick Regal GS is about as complete a German sports sedan as it comes, especially considering it's, well, a Buick! The GS model is our favorite because it's hugely competent and absolutely affordable. The Regal GS looks sharp, it stops and goes with precision, and it does it all without commanding the cachet (and price bump) associated with a loftier luxury brand. If Acura, Infiniti and Volvo are in your sights, the Regal is also worth checking out.
The one they'll never sell here: Volkswagen XL1
The Volkswagen XL1 is the dream of forward-thinking engineers realized in the form of a teardrop-shaped beacon of the future of driving. It's a diesel-electric hybrid that VW currently has no plans to sell in the United States, although a limited run will hit the streets in Europe. During a limited drive with the XL1 last month in Los Angeles, and having seen them more recently on the streets of New York, the 261-mpg makes a unique statement when parked, and an even more interesting one while being driven. Chalk one up for the creative team outnumbering the bean counters. If only it didn't cost as much as an Audi R8 sports car…
The one everyone is talking about: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette
The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette has received heaps of praise for its exotic-looking exterior, classier interior, and sharp driving dynamics. Having spent some time behind the wheel – grinning hysterically all the while – we have to agree with the hype. The C7 Corvette improves upon everything that was good about the C6, then skims the excess and adds a shot of adrenaline. The Corvette's cool factor shot up exponentially, thanks to the introduction of a trick 7-speed manual transmission with rev-matching capability, and styling that imbues America's sports car with a shape to take on the world. To sum it up: we like how it looks, but love how it drives.
The one you haven't bought yet but might actually: 2014 Ford Fiesta ST
The Ford Fiesta ST ranks amongst our favorite small cars, and for good reason: its turbocharged engine, taut chassis, and subcompact dimensions are ideally suited for hours of rough-and-tumble commuting on cramped city streets. While the rest of the Fiesta range seems slightly dated despite a recent refresh, the Fiesta ST proudly carries the torch for a disappearing segment of tiny cars that produce big smiles. A slick gearbox and an intuitive infotainment system seal the deal for around $20,000.

This trend is part of my five trends for human advancement. For an overview and background, check here:
A lot of change initiatives only scratch the surface of the systems they try to change. They are tactical, short term and full of platitudes. I would like to suggest an almost Jungian analysis of organisations and ecosystems.
Rusty port next to Museum Modern Art Antwerp – Petervan Nov 2017
Trained as an architect, I have been (and still am) seduced by the term "Patrimony" and the respect of patrimony and the ability to combine patrimony with contemporary. Early feedback suggests that the term patrimony may not be the best. It contains the Latin "Pater" and makes people think of something "paternalistic".
In an earlier post, I already suggested that the Dutch word "Erfgoed" maybe captures it better. "Erf" means inheritance, value that can be transmitted across generations. "Goed" stand for "good", both as 1) something tangible, an art-i-fact and 2) something good, of value, of worth, wealth and culture to be carried forward.
Patrimony is structural memory carried forward from previous generations. Like Jungian humans, also organisations may have an ego, a conscious, a personal unconscious and a collective unconscious. Patrimony is about the collective unconscious.
To have fully humanistic organisations, we must be prepared to interrogate and influence at the level of patrimony. And combine patrimony with contemporary. Not as a shock or provocation, but more like adding milk to coffee (with thanks to Niels Pflaeging)
Petervan Productions 2017 - Live model - charcoal and acryl on paper
The same applies to straight and curved lines. As a non-practicing architect from the seventies, I was trained in straight lines. That's what my hand had internalised. When later in art academy I was doing live model drawing, I could sense how unnatural natural curved lines were to my hand, and probably also to my brain. It reminds me of an intro of an art exhibition by art curator and critic Hans Theys, who described the straight lines in coffee bars along a high street in Borgerhout, an area mainly populated by Muslim immigrants: tables, chairs, lights: all were straight, hard, and women de-facto not allowed. What a nightmare it was/would be to live in a world that was only designed by men, without (internalised) curved lines.
Humanistic advancement will flourish only if we develop our ability to see, sense and share the patrimony and curved lines of our organizations, institutions, and ecosystems. It's Jungian in the sense that the maturation happens when we are able to internalize, accept and incorporate the organizational collective unconscious of cross-generational heritage, symbols, memories and narratives. Including the suppressed shadows, memories, and femininity of our organizational patrimony.

(Medina, Ohio) The Annual Salute to Travel and Tourism in America. The first full week of May is annually recognized as National Travel and Tourism Week, a tradition first celebrated in 1984. Localized events are presented in cities, state and travel businesses nationwide to champion the power of travel. It was established as National Tourism week when the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution in 1983 designating the week to be celebrated in May. In a White House ceremony, President Ronald Reagan signed a Presidential Proclamation urging citizens to observe the week with "the appropriate ceremonies and activities."
The Medina County Convention & Visitors Bureau will be offering a new Drive-It-Yourself tour for Medina County promoting visitors and especially local residents to get out and see what is in their backyard. This and other Medina County Drive-It-Yourself tours will be available only at the office at 32 Public Square, Monday thru Saturday of National Tourism Week from 9am to 5pm and Sunday 12noon to 4pm.
This year's theme is Travel Effect, U.S. Travel's new advocacy and awareness campaign.
Effects on the Economy: Travel has a strong economic impact on the nation's economy. It generated $1.9 trillion in economic output, ranks among the top ten private employers in the country, supports 14.4 million American jobs and contributes more than $124 billion in tax revenues.
Effects on You: Forget that image of the sulky teen dragged through family vacation. A new study finds that nearly all kids value family travel as quality time with parents and grandparents. That's good news for adults of all ages since their own childhood travels are among their most vivid memories – experiences they're eager to pass on.
Effects on Business: You've heard that "a happy employee is a good employee." But did you know that research backs it up? Travel decreases burnout and absenteeism. What's more, companies that support business travel see better earnings – event in a tough economy.

Brady Skjei described fellow University of Minnesota defenseman Ryan Lindgren as a "character player" and someone that can shut down the other team's top line. (NYR)
Chris Drury said that the Rangers view Lindgren as someone who can help set "the right culture" for the team moving forward. (The Athletic)
Lindgren is considered to be more of a "throwback" type of shutdown defenseman and Chris Drury said that he was someone the Rangers wanted from Boston because of his character, leadership and compete levels. (The Athletic)
Lindgren skates well, move the puck "competently" and is a "great defender who battles at a high-end level." (The Athletic)
Lindgren said that all he wants to do is play his game in training camp and play the way that got him to this point in his career. (NYR)
He said that he learned a lot in his brief time in Hartford and that when he comes to training camp he will be around some familiar faces. (NYR)
Bob Motzko, who coached St. Cloud St as well as Lindgren in the World Juniors, said that Lindgren is just such a battler, he'll just dust it off and go play." (The Athletic)
Mike Guentzel, who was a coach at Minnesota, said that Lindgren is "heart, character" and a kind of toughness that doens't always come with players from the Minnesota area. (The Athletic)
Former Minnesota head coach Don Lucia said that Lindgren played the "heavy minutes" against top players, on the PK and in late game situations. (The Athletic)
Lucia added, "the respect he has in the locker room is evident when you've been elected as a captain and you're 19 years old."(The Athletic)
In describing his own game, Lindgren said "I try to be as physical as I can. I've got to find a balance, but my physicality and the way I play is never going to be taken out of me. That's how I play, and that's what I'm going to do. It's just finding a balance between it and being smart about it, but I'm going to be that player that is tough to play against and is mean." (The Athletic)
Adam Rotter: Everything that you read and hear about Lindgren just screams "Dan Girardi." His last couple of years may have been a struggle at times, but Girardi was an enormous part of the Rangers from the first day he got called up. He blocked shots, played physical, scored on occasion, was widely respected and should have won a Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award or two. Lindgren doesn't project out to be a big-time offensive player and while scoring is important, stopping the other team from scoring is just as important. He looks like someone that could be a big part of the Rangers defense in the future and carry on many of the great aspects Girardi brought for so many years.

Artist Antonia Rolls is staging a new Bognor Regis exhibition called The Brighter The Light, paintings and words on partying, drugs and addiction.
She explains: "It is an exhibition of a mother witnessing a son's descent into drug addiction and the chaos, madness and despair that it entails. My son was addicted to Oxycontin, like so many, and is now clean and rebuilding his life. That in itself is a total miracle, and not expected. Thank heavens, though.
"He is working on this exhibition with me. I have painted some very hard-hitting images and he is brave to allow me to do this. It may be part of the healing for both of us.
"I hope to exhibit what I have put together for this first showing, with a plan to work with other people and their stories of addiction – their own or someone else's.
"The project, the exhibition, will grow with each showing as I hope to tell more stories of addiction. This subject is so rife, so terrible and my eyes are opened not only to the well-known and well-documented appalling behaviour of addicts, but to the punitive, poor and ineffective services our society seems to offer. I have no answers, and this exhibition is a witness to a journey, both mine and my son's."
The exhibition runs from August 23 to 28 at Waltham House Arts and Wellness, Town Cross Avenue, Bognor. Open 12-8pm, entrance free.
Plenty of fun at the Arundel Festival

Clear some space in your makeup drawer, Chrissy Teigen is teaming up with Becca Cosmetics to release a new makeup capsule collection called, BECCAxCHRISSY Endless Summer Glow. This isn't Chrissy's first foray into cosmetics — she's previously created a highly coveted highlighter palette with the brand in 2017.
Last week, the mom of two took to Twitter to tease an item from the collection.
It's COMMMMMMING!!!!!!! https://t.co/voBsJQXgAn
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) June 19, 2018
The BECCAxCHRISSY body oil is the collection's rendition of the body glitter trend that's been taking this summer by storm. With its bronzy, sun-kissed hue that when worn, will obviously make us look like Chrissy Teigen doppelgangers, we're sure that the product will fly off the shelves faster than we can blink.
Along with the Glow Body Oil, the range will also feature a three-in-one bronzer/highlighter compact and three shades of lip glosses.
Possibly the most coveted item of the collection, the Endless Bronze & Glow three-in-one compact combines Becca's signature Moonstone Pressed Highlighter with a peach-toned Beach Nectar Pressed highlighter and a new bronzer in Aloha Bronze.
If you love a natural lip with a bit of sheen, the BECCAxCHRISSY glow glosses are certainly for you. They'll be offered in three different shades called Beach Nectar, Malibu Soleil, and Beach Bum.
The BECCAxCHRISSY Endless Summer Glow capsule collection launches on June 28 at BECCA Cosmetics, Sephora and Cult Beauty — that's right, this week! Flash forward to us at Sephora on Thursday:

Functional Programming » Map & Filter: Lambda Calculus & Category Theory vs Von Neumann
- Abstract
- Two Different Computational Models: Von Neumann Architecture vs Lambda Calculus
- Imperative Implementations of Map and Filter
- Functional Implementations of Map and Filter
- Category Theory: Relationships and Functors
- Fold vs Reduce
I have an interest in applying functional concepts from lambda calculus and category theory to programming. I was particularly excited with the possibilities of folding functions when I first discovered them. As I continue on my journey into discovering the worlds of lambda calculus and category theory, I noticed that when people talk about map and filter, they often give the implementations using an imperative approach. I wanted to share how this can be done in a purely functional manner, applying lambda calculus and category theory to their definitions.
Two Different Computational Models
Von Neumann Architecture: The Digital Realization of The Turing Machine
This is the computational model that today's computers implement. They're the digital realization of the Turing Machine. They have memory and processors, and they do operations in time-dependent and implicit steps (aka imperative programming) to achieve the final result.
Lambda Calculus
This is a computational model that "pure" functional languages attempt to emulate. In an ideal world, this model does away with the machines of the Von Neumann sort, and rather than representing computation as a series of steps, computation is modeled as a tree of expressions. Now, I said "in an ideal world" this is the case, because we don't actually have "real" physical lambda calculus machines. The computational devices of today are Von Neumann machines. Because of this, functional languages are written in the fashion of lambda calculus, but their compilers have to translate that to Von Neumann architecture so our functional programs can run on Von Neumann hardware.
Imperative Implementations of Map and Filter
Most of the implementations that I have seen for map and filter are done using the imperative (Von Neumann) style. For example, if you were to ask how to implement map, you might get this implementation:
class Array
def my_map(&f)
xs = []
each do |x|
xs << f.(x)
And you'd probably see a similar implementation of the filter function:
class Array
def my_filter(&f)
xs = []
each do |x|
xs << x if f.(x)
[1, 2, 3, 4].my_filter { |x| x % 2 == 0 }
Now, there's nothing strictly wrong with this. My motto is, when you're trying to understand a principle, or build something that works up front, Do what works. Worry about details later. Often those details become unrelated tangents and before you know it you've wasted a lot of time on things that detract from your original learning goal. But the goal here is to show that these "functional functions" can be written functionally instead of using the imperative version.
Functional Implementations of Map and Filter
It is possible to implement map and filter in functional terms of a folding expression—rather than the imperative Von Neumann approach. Let's visit that for folks who don't know what it is. I'll go with an almost trivial, but pedagogical example.
Let's say I have a list of integers 1 through 10 and I want to get the sum. I could write this imperative version:
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
sum = 0
for x in list do
sum += x
# Output: 55
Now, before Rubyists tell me that this isn't how you would do a sum in Ruby. You'd just do
list.sum. However, the goal here is to demonstrate the difference between the imperative and functional implementations of
map and
Functional programming is all about abstractions. We can abstract this further. Let's take this for loop and move it into a function we'll call
class Array
def my_reduce(accumulator, &f)
each do |x|
accumulator = f.(accumulator, x)
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
list.my_reduce(0) { |sum, num| sum += num }
# Output: 55
In this case,
my_reduce takes a list of integers and adds them together to get the final sum.
I have referred to this function as "reduce". This function gets called all kinds of different things depending on the context and the programming language. There are actually multiple variations of reduce, but I will avoid those for now. I will, however, stop using the word "reduce" and instead use the word "fold". This is because the concept that we're discussing with reduce is actually referred to by mathematicians originally as "fold". Just remember, "reduce" and "fold" are somewhat synonymous. There are slight differences between reduce and fold, but they're irrelevant for now so we'll discuss that at the end.
Fold is a function that applies an operation over a recursive data structure.
Now we're going to move to implementing map. However, we're not going to implement it in terms of the looping I did earlier. And we're not going to just use Ruby's map method. Instead, we want to create our own to better understand the principles of how these things work.
To implement our own map function using only Ruby's reduce function, we can write the following
my_map function:
class Array
def my_map(&f)
self.reduce([]) { |xs, x| xs << f.(x) }
(1..10).to_a.my_map { |x| x * 2 }
# Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20]
We can write a similar definition for filter:
class Array
def my_filter(&f)
self.reduce([]) { |xs, x| (xs << x) if f.(x); xs }
(1..10).to_a.my_filter { |x| x > 4 }
# Output: [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
There's a bit to unpack there, so let's go through it step by step:
- We are opening the Array class in Ruby to add a method to it. This is so we can call that method on arrays:
my_filtertake blocks. That's what the ampersand in front of the
- These functions call reduce. Notice the empty array
[]passed into reduce. That is the type initializer for reduce. What that means is rather than starting out with integer (number 0) and adding to that number via the addition rule, we're going to instead create a new array and combine the elements of the original array into that new array.
- We only add an element
xto the new list (represented as
xs) that we initialized reduce with if the predicate function—
f.(x)—we're supplying returns true for that element. What's a predicate function? One that returns true or false for a given condition.
- Finally, we're returning the incrementally updated new list at the end of the reduce.
- The only difference between these two functions is that
f.(x)on each element, storing the result in the new list—it's a one to one transformation;
my_filtercalls a predicate on each item, only storing it in the new list if it matches. As you can see running the example code, we successfully filter only values greater than 4.
We can do the same thing in Haskell:
myFilter :: Foldable t => (a -> Bool) -> t a -> [a]
myFilter f = foldr (\x xs -> if f x then x:xs else xs) []
myFilter (\x -> x > 4) [1..10]
-- Output: [5,6,7,8,9,10]
This is also possible in Kotlin:
inline fun <T> Iterable<T>.myMap(transform: (T) -> T): List<T> {
return this.fold(mutableListOf()) { ys: MutableList<T>, x: T ->
val list = (1..10).toList()
list.myMap { it * 2 }
// Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20]
And for filter:
fun <T> Iterable<T>.myFilter(predicate: (T) -> Boolean): Iterable<T> {
return this.filter { predicate(it) }
val list = (1..10).toList()
list.myMap { it * 2 }
// Output: [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Just as with Ruby, we're defining new functions
myMap and
myFilter on the
Iterable type, which includes arrays and lists, allowing us to call
list.myMap and
Category Theory: Relationships & Functors
Both the imperative and functional implementations work. However, when we start moving away from the imperative approach and toward the functional paradigm, we get better composability and we start to see abstraction patterns that help us reason about things in a formal and declarative way. If we were to define the imperative version of map, we would have to write a definition like this:
Takes an original collection, and creates a new collection.
Iterates over the original collection, applying a function to each item,
then storing the result in the corresponding position in the new collection.
Returns the new collection.
With the functional implementation, we can define map thusly:
Transforms a collection of type A to a collection of type B.
Another way to phrase this using category theory:
Defines a relationship (arrow) between Functor[A] and Functor[B].
Imperative implementations require step-by-step instructions whereas functional approaches allow us to express the same concepts but using a more declarative approach where we don't have to worry about how the iterative steps occur, but rather what occurs.
So you may have seen my sly little inclusion of the word "functor" in that category theory definition. What's a functor? Good question. The mathematicians might not like my description here, but a functor is basically something which is "mappable". It is something that fits in a "container" that can be transformed. In the examples provided here, a list is a functor. It's a container that contains multiple values which can be mapped over. But a functor doesn't have to be a list. There are other things that are functors as well. I'll save functors for a future post, but for now you can think of a list as a functor.
Fold vs Reduce
I mentioned earlier that fold and reduce are nearly synonymous yet different. They both operate over a recursive data structure (lists for example). However fold accepts an initial data type while reduce does not. For example, using reduce in Ruby we get this:
[1, 2, 3].reduce { |xs, x| xs + x }
#=> 6
Ruby does not have a function named
fold, however it does the same thing by passing a parameter into
[1, 2, 3].reduce(0) { |xs, x| xs + x }
#=> 6
This gives us the same result as before, since we're passing 0 to the reduce. Let's pass 1 to it instead:
[1, 2, 3].reduce(1) { |xs, x| xs + x }
#=> 7
Before reduce begins to iterate through the list, it begins by setting
xs to 1, then proceeds to iterate. There's something more interesting we've done with this though:
[1, 2, 3].reduce([]) { |xs, x| xs << x }
#=> [1, 2, 3]
Now, instead of aggregating the list into a sum, we're starting with an empty array
[] and adding the values to that array. We end up with another array that has identical content. Instead of an empty array, we can also start with an array containing content:
[1, 2, 3].reduce([4]) { |xs, x| xs << x }
#=> [4, 1, 2, 3]
We can use other data types as well:
numbers_words = { 1 => "one", 2 => "two", 3 => "three" }
[1, 2, 3].reduce({}) { |xs, x| xs[x] = numbers_words[x]; xs }
#=> {1=>"one", 2=>"two", 3=>"three"}
We start with a hash mapping the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to their corresponding words. Why not just use the numbers_words though, instead of contriving this reduce function here? You could, but then you wouldn't be able to do this: Given an english sentence, translate any words that we have the translations for. Leave words we have no translation for in english. Here we go:
english_spanish_dictionary = { 'one': 'uno', 'two': 'duo', 'three': 'tres', 'watches': 'relojes' }
sentence = "I have one iPhone but two Apple watches"
# Apply the translation
sentence.split(' ').reduce([]) { |translation, word|
translation << (english_spanish_dictionary[word.to_sym] || word); translation
}.join(' ')
#=> "I have uno iPhone but duo Apple relojes"
Here's what's going on:
- We define an english to spanish dictionary with a few words translated.
- We define an english sentence.
- In the third line of our code containing the reduce, we first split the sentence into an array of words.
- Then we reduce or fold the array of words into another list (since we're passing in
- When doing the fold (called reduce in Ruby), we do a lookup from the
english_spanish_dictionary. If no translation is found, the dictionary will return
nil. This allows us to use the logical or operator
||to then use the
xvalue, which represents the english word for that round of iteration.
- Finally, we join the array of words together into a string, separated by spaces.
The beautiful thing about this logic is that it is abstracted enough that all we have to do is keep our dictionary updated, without the need to modify the logic later. Any time we add a new translation to our
english_spanish_dictionary, our translation logic will remain intact.
If I did this imperatively, I would need to change this:
sentence.split(' ').reduce([]) { |translation, word|
translation << (english_spanish_dictionary[word.to_sym] || word); translation
}.join(' ')
to this:
words = sentence.split(' ')
translation = []
for word in words
translation << (english_spanish_dictionary[word.to_sym] || word)
translated_sentence = translation.join(' ')
This works, but it requires a for loop and the creation of new variables within the same scope as each other, all of which can be unsafely mutated. It also requires more lines of code. In any case, using the functional implementation safeguards against unintended changes as it prevents creating mutable data structures outside of each function in the function pipeline (
join). It is also composable.

Footprints to University
With the increase in global competitiveness and innovation, universities in Singapore are gaining more recognition and strengthening their position in the global education market. Singapore, with its combination of high-ranking universities, high quality of life, and diverse student community, recently secured 15th place in the 2015 QS Best Student Cities. There are currently 5 local universities in Singapore, namely the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University (SMU), Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (STUD). These local universities offer undergraduate programmes that adequately prepare students for their future.
For NUS, 12 interesting faculties are offered to students, and potential students planning to pursue a degree in NUS can choose to pursue double major, double degrees, joint degree, concurrent degree, special and part time programme. This allows students to diversify and pursue multiple interests that they may have. In addition, five modules in the first semester would not be graded, to encourage students to have an educational experience beyond one major.
Likewise, NTU offers a range of undergraduate programmes including double degree, integrated, part-time, premier scholars and special programmes. The university also provides conducive learning spaces, comfortable accommodation that are equipped facilities, and convenient transportation. In fact, according to the 2014 Graduate Employment Survey, NTU graduates are well-known for receiving the highest first pay among all university graduates in Singapore.
Ranking among the world's leading providers of education in the fields of accounting and finance, computer science, economics, law and statistics, SMU places a very strong emphasis on training students to be professionals in their own respective fields. This training is able to cultivate students to be confident and articulate individuals who have the capacity to hold discussions and be fluent during presentations, inculcating in them the communication skills that are much needed in the globalised world today.
SIM University offers 4 disciplines and 5 categories of special programmes. A variety of scholarships are available for students to have more opportunities to develop their full potential in their university life.
Lastly, STUD offers 5 clusters of degrees mainly specialised in both technology and design. Several exciting and unique programmes are offered for students, with the aim of nurturing students into innovative thinkers. Furthermore, STUD has collaborated with more than 250 leading industry partners thus far, and these partners are offering unique hands-on experience for students.
As such, there are plenty of rich and engaging undergraduate programmes offered in Singapore, and making the right choice makes all the difference. As Monson says, "By choosing our path, we choose our Destination."

I really love God's word. I always seem to be studying something in it every day.
To read and to study God's word is two different things. When we read, we
usually read for pleasure, reassurance, peace… But when we study God's word
we are on a quest to learn something, to understand something, to dig
deeper and find treasures, and to apply that which is learned to our lives.
Recently I decide to read and study the book of Proverbs. There are 31 Proverbs
in the book of Proverbs- one for each day of the month. As I read, I let God
speak to me through His word. The Proverbs that seem to jump off the page at
me are the ones I begin to study and contemplate. Many times the one that
stands out to me the most is the one I need the most in my live at the time!
Have you ever found that to be true in your life?
Today's Proverb states in Proverbs 23:4-5 (NLT),
"Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Be wise enough to know when to quit.
In the blink of an eye wealth disappears
For it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle."
How many of us are guilty of this? We work and work thinking if "I can just
make a little extra money I'll be happy, or I'll have everything I want, etc…"
Yes, I know we all need money to live. That's why we work, but money should
not be our driving force. The pursuit of wealth should not take away from our
family time, our relationship with our spouse and children or our commitment
to Christ.
Call me old fashion, but I still think we should keep the Sabbath day holy,
meaning not working on Sunday if at all possible. It's the Lord's day and we
should spend it with HIM by going to church and spending the day with our family.
If God rested on the seventh day, that's good enough reason for me!
The Bible also says in Matthew 6:19-21(NKJV),
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust destroy and
where thieves break in and steal; 20 but
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys
and where thieves do not break in
and steal. 21 For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.
Our treasures are stored up in heaven. Our treasures are those little faces
looking across the table at us at dinnertime. Our treasures are found in the joy
and laughter of our families. Our treasures are NOT in big houses and fancy cars
and the latest gadgets.
That might mean we need to start living within our means. That might mean we
have to say no to things we can't afford. That might mean we have to say no to
our kids sometimes. Don't worry it won't break them, it builds character.

The Development of a Chaff Rocket Model for Naval Anti-Ship Missile Defence Simulations
- Authors
- Corporate Authors
- Defence Research Establishment Ottawa, Ottawa ONT (CAN)
- Abstract
- A simple, yet realistic chaff rocket model has been developed in MATLAB/Simulink in order simulate chaff deployment for anti-ship missile defence. The mathematical model is based on a force vector equations approach and simulates the various forces acting on the rocket including thrust, drag and gravity. Some additional features of the model include simulation of the boost phase of the rocket and variation in rocket mass as fuel is burned. External factors including wind, launch bearing, pitch angle and fuse time of the rocket have also been included. The model can be considered as an extension of a point model since a cross drag force is included.

Louis Daignault (ISN)
June 29, 2013, BOLZANO, Italy (ISN) – Celina Toth of Victoria came within a point of the bronze medal on Saturday placing fourth on women's 10-m tower at the sixth and final stop on the FINA Grand Prix diving circuit. It was the best international result of her career.
Zhu Jiaming of China won the gold medal with 345.55 points, her compatriot Xing Yingying was second at 336.05 and Cho Eunbi of South Korea third at 282.55.
Toth was fifth heading into the final round but nearly caught the Korean scoring well on her most difficult dive an inward three and a half.
"That's always been a strong dive for me," said Toth. "I was really happy with my performance here. I learned a lot this week."
On women's three-metre Emma Friesen of North Vancouver advanced to Sunday's final placing second in her semifinal heat. The top-three from each of the two semis advance. It's Friesen's third Grand Prix final this season. She was also second in Puerto Rico last month and sixth in Spain.
"I really struggled in the preliminaries," said Friesen, sixth in the morning prelims at the outdoor venue. "The difference in the semis is that I competed instead of being focused on myself. I just want to keep doing that for the final."
Aimee Harrison of Winnipeg nearly joined Friesen in the final six finishing fourth in her heat for ninth overall.
"I definitely didn't have my best list in the semis," said Harrison, 19, at her third Grand Prix this season. "My backward dive gave me a lot of problems and that's probably what cost me a chance to advance. Still to have a really good prelims where I nailed everything is very satisfying."
Harrison was third in prelims.
On men's 10-metre tower, Maxim Bouchard of St-Constant, Que., was fourth in his semi heat for seventh overall. Fraser McKean of Ottawa was 13th in prelims.
Competition ends Sunday.

Linc outlines expanded development plan for Umiat
The Australian independent recently outlined a program calling for approximately 13 drilling pads to accommodate 150 wells with drilling to begin as early as 2021. The program is twice as large as and would take several years longer than a previous version.
The company has drilled two exploration wells in recent years at the known oil field in the foothills of the Brooks Range Mountains and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
Umiat No. 18 in early 2013 took a vertical core sample. Umiat No. 23H in early 2014 followed up with the first horizontal well ever drilled at the remote field. A subsequent flow test yielded a sustained rate of 250 barrels per day of 38.5 degree API gravity crude oil.
Those wells formed the foundation for reservoir modeling efforts currently under way.
The company is envisioning a drilling program with wells laid out of a 40-acre pattern, with wells every 450 feet and horizontal laterals measuring approximately 3,000 feet.
The program outline is the most detailed development proposal yet from Linc and is significantly larger than ideas the company presented seven months ago. In an annual report from late October 2014, after both wells were drilled, the company anticipated "that the initial development of Umiat could include the drilling of up to 70 wells."

After reading Bounce by Matthew Syed last summer, one section in particular has transformed my teaching approach this academic year.
The Theory
The particular section described psychologist Professor Carol Dweck´s theory on mindset. Dweck argues that a person´s attitude can be described as a growth mindset or a fixed mindset. It´s more than a label; the repercussions are reflected in all areas of life.
- Positive attitude
- Learns from failure
- Takes risks
- Believes they can learn anything
- Fostered by praising effort and process: "I can tell you´ve been studying".
- Believes talent is innate
- Unwilling to take risks
- Gives up easily
- Encouraged by praise which promotes the idea of innate intelligence: "You´re amazing at English".
In Practice in the Classroom
The prize is huge: developing self-motivated students who label failure as nothing more than a stepping stone to success.
From my experience, the Spanish education system seems to prioritise marks over learning from a young age (I´ve seen many a 7-year-old with exam anxiety on the eve of an ´important´ test). This encourages a fixed mindset: an obsession with marks, a fear of failure, and a reluctance to engage with challenging new material (which is the real reason they come to Nessie after all!). They were used to being rewarded with 100% and praised accordingly; why struggle through something unfamiliar and only get 50%? Why try harder if talent is fixed?
So what have I done to try to plant the seed of a growth mindset among my students? I´ve made an effort to avoid generic, lazy praise like "Well done". Instead, I´ve been more specific with praise, for example praising the strategy e.g. "The clear plan you did helped your structure"; and especially effort e.g. "I think you studied a lot more this weekend than last weekend. Am I right?". Also, I´ve focused more on what they have left to improve, rather than what they´ve already mastered.
Moreover, as Professor Dweck recommends, I´ve tried to use the word "yet" as much as possible in feedback, because as she explains, when receiving a "yet", ´you understand that you´re on a learning curve; it gives you a path into the future´.
The Results
It´s still early days; mindset is developed over long periods of time. Nevertheless, after initial shock/disappointment among many students that I wasn´t just going to tell them how clever they were, I´ve started to see some very positive changes.
Students´ general attitude and resilience to failure is now healthier: instead of beating themselves up over a low grade, many now see that it´s part of a process of gaining better knowledge and higher marks in the future. Furthermore, fewer hide from challenges; they seek them, and are motivated to better their English level.
In summary, transforming mindsets can make a huge difference. For me, at least, it´s a work in progress!

You've probably read the buzz about BlackBerry offering their exclusive messenger service, BBM, to other mobile operating systems – Google's Android and Apple's iOS. Announced yesterday by CEO Thorsten Heins, BBM's availability outside BlackBerry is initially slated this July.
BlackBerry Messenger or BBM as we popular call it will be available soon on Android 4.0, iOS 6 and later versions and the service will still be free. According to company executives in the BlackBerry Live Conference, this move is to expand their growing customers and to let other users from other platforms experience BlackBerry.
Similar to its would-be competitors, WhatsApp, Viber and WeChat among others, BBM will now allow other mobile users to connect with their BlackBerry counterparts.
Per reports, BBM has 60 million active users worldwide to date. With the expansion of the service to non-BlackBerry handsets, it will definitely make their userbase stronger than ever.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - The Gallaudet University women's volleyball team saw its nine-match conference winning streak end here Friday night at the hands of Penn St.-Berks, who upset the Bison, in four sets, 3-1. The Bison breezed through their North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) match with Penn College with a 3-0 win, earlier in the evening, before facing the Nittany Lions (18-9, 8-3 NEAC).
The conference loss to Gallaudet (15-15, 10-2 NEAC), the six-time defending NEAC champions, impacts its chances of hosting the NEAC tournament in two weeks. GU trails SUNY Poly (15-10, 9-1 NEAC), the only other team to beat the Bison this season in conference play. NEAC conference play concludes this weekend.
Gallaudet and Penn St.-Berks needed extra points in the first two sets where the Nittany Lions won 26-24 and 31-29. The Bison bounced back with a 25-20 third set win before falling 25-14 in the decisive fourth set.
Freshman middle hitter Adele Daniels (Frederick, Md.) led the Bison with 18 kills, 16 digs and two block solos. Junior outside hitter Darriyan Thomas (Vallejo, Calif.) tallied 16 kills, six service aces and six digs in the loss. Junior setter Jasmine Jeter (Noblesville, Ind.) passed out 42 assists and nine digs while sophomore libero Raelyn Fuechtmann (South St. Paul, Minn.) made 12 digs.
GU swept through the host Wildcats (6-19, 4-8 NEAC) with a 25-18, 25-9, 25-22 victory. Daniels led the Bison with 13 kills and eight digs while Thomas added 10 kills and five digs. Jeter passed out 33 assists and made nine digs while Fuechtmann added nine digs.
- Freshman outside hitter Camryn Skari (Federal Way, Wash.) added six kills against Penn St.-Berks
- Gallaudet last lost to Penn St.-Berks on Oct. 2, 2011, in a four-set match
- The Bison had won their previous seven matches against Penn St.-Berks
- GU had 10 aces and six block solos against the Nittany Lions
GU returns to the court tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 22) at 10 a.m. to take on Lancaster Bible College (12-15, 7-4 NEAC) here in a NEAC match.

Does your family love chicken nuggets but your budget does not? This great recipe for homemade Chicken Nuggets is sure to be a winner!
Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipe
We love these chicken nuggets at our house! The recipe is easy to make and these also freeze well so you can make a double batch and freeze what you don't eat. One batch makes around 25 chicken nuggets depending on how big you make them. You can also use this recipe to form large round breaded chicken patties for sandwiches.
Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipe
Homemade Chicken Nuggets
These homemade chicken nuggets are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise (Can be Homemade Mayonnaise)
- Small Onion
- 2 cup cooked Chicken
- 1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Bread Crumbs
- Salt (To season)
If you don't already have some bread crumbs, you can easily make them. Just stick some old bread in the oven and bake it til it's crispy, then I run it through a blender or food processor until I have fine crumbs. Add a bit of garlic and onion salt to flavor. Set aside for now.
Start your chicken nuggets by putting the cooked chicken and the onion in the food processor until the chicken is shredded (but not paste!).
Then add the mayo and egg and cheese to the processor and blend until mixed together.
Form the mixture into small shapes and coat with the bread crumbs. Bake the homemade chicken nuggets at 400F for 18 or so minutes, turning halfway. Since you are using cooked chicken, you just need them to bake long enough to cook the egg and to stick together.
I serve mine with this Homemade BBQ Sauce recipe. I've also make this Chicken Nugget dip to go with them before as well.
Have you ever tried to make your own homemade chicken nuggets?

Tokyo--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502), one of the leading global suppliers of hydro power generating equipment, today announced that its Chinese consolidated subsidiary, Toshiba Hydro Power (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (THPC) has completed the first phase of a four-year expansion program: a state-of-the-art generator coil shop at its manufacturing facility in Zhejiang. Under the 170-million yuan (approximately US$25 million) program, which will run to fiscal year 2009, THPC will boost its manufacturing output of hydro power generating equipment to over twice that of fiscal year 2007.
THPC owns and operates casting, welding, assembly and machining, and coil shop, and manufactures hydro power generating equipment. The company has expanded its coil shop to 9,000 m2, and installed advanced equipment for production of world-class electrical components for hydro turbine generators parts, including coils and poles.
The scope of the investment program also covers expansion of the assembly and machining shop and construction of an advanced hydraulic research laboratory equipped with a cutting-edge hydro turbine model test facility. It will be China's first(1) hydro power R&D facility built by a joint venture.
Since it was established in January 2005, THPC has supplied more than 80 hydro turbines and generators in China, and successfully expanded its business by drawing on Toshiba's rich expertise in R&D, design and high-quality manufacturing.
"We are pleased to open the new generator coil shop," said Mr. Yasuharu Igarashi, Corporate Vice President of Toshiba Corporation and President & CEO of Toshiba's Power Systems Company. "Through world-class technology and production enhancement under the FY2009 investment program, THPC will position Toshiba Group to competitively meet growing demand for hydro power, and to contribute to securing a stable electricity supply in China and, through exports, other Asian countries."
Hydro Power Generation and Strong Growth in the Chinese Market for the Equipment
Hydro power generation is the world's most widely used renewable energy source. In respect of energy strategy and achieving an optimized energy generation mix, stable output and operating costs, Toshiba recognizes hydro power generation as equal in importance to nuclear and thermal power, including geothermal energy. China leads the world in the scale of hydro power plant construction, and is reported to account for half of all new projects, according to reports. Growth is expected to continue, driven by China's continued economic expansion and increasing need for environmentally-friendly renewable energy. Under the government's Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), the installed capacity of hydro power generating equipment is expected to reach 190 gigawatts (GW) in 2010 and 300GW in 2020.
Outline of THPC's New Coil Shop
- Structure: Steel frame concrete, two stories
- Building Area: Approximately 9,000 m2 (Before expansion: Approximately 3,500m2)

Motorcycle info about licenses, trikes, sidecars, scooters and more!
On January 21, 2009 American Suzuki Motor Corporation announced issued a letter regarding a voluntary safety recall for the 2005 and 2006 model years of the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 motorcycle.
The recall is due to reports of cracks or failures regarding the frame. The problem can occur during an accident or during heavy stress loads at the front wheel and front suspension. The specific area of the frame is near the steering neck as illustrated below.
Suzuki says that cracks have occurred on the GSX-R 1000 frame which could be caused when riders land the front end down when doing wheelies or other street bike stunts that can cause extreme loading on the motorcycle's front end.
Anyone with a 2005 or 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 motorcycle should contact their Suzuki dealer as soon as possible for them to inspect.
Authorized Suzuki dealers will install an aluminum frame reinforcement brace which that weighs approximately 2 ponds, using bolts and epoxy if no cracks are found. If cracks are found, then they will replace the frame with one that has the new brace installed. There will be a 5 year warranty on the frame starting when the dealer installs the brace, or the replacement frame.
For more information about the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 recall, owners can contact American Suzuki Customer Service Department at 714-572-1490 and be sure to have your V.I.N. number ready when you call.

Gave these a shot as I am a wine lover, and am planning on giving a bunch of these out for Christmas. Don't usually have to worry about sealing a bottle up as I'm not normally one to leave any :-) Really enjoy doing these as both of them started out as something different on paper, and in my head, but screwed up both and this is what I created. Maple and Walnut. I feel the walnut one is a little too large, but again… first shot. Please be brutally honest with any criticisms as I don't feel I will get better by getting pats on the back. I'm here to learn :-) Thanks for looking, and have a safe day in your shops.

Several people have been arrested in Burundi over the assassination of a powerful general, the prosecutor's office has said, as reported on 10th August.
However, it said the "masterminds" behind the murder of Gen Adolphe Nshimirimana were still being sought.
Prominent human rights activist Pierre Claver Mbonimpa was shot and wounded in an apparent reprisal attack following Gen Nshimirimana's killing last week.
Mbonimpa has been allowed to fly to Belgium for treatment.
Heavy shooting was heard in the capital, Bujumbura, on Sunday night, but it was unclear who was behind it, the AFP news agency reports.
Burundi has suffered serious unrest since President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision in April to seek a third term in office.
Opponents argued this violated the constitution, and protests broke out in parts of the country, reports the BBC.
There was also failed coup attempt in May, as renegade generals demanded that Nkurunziza steps down when his term ends.
A presidential election was held last month which Nkurunziza won.
The result was rejected by the main opposition parties, but one of its leading members, Agathon Rwasa, agreed to take the post of deputy parliamentary speaker to promote reconciliation.
The prosecutor's office said in a statement that a military vehicle was used by Gen Nshimirimana's attackers and it was subsequently burned.
"The identities of the perpetrators are now known. A certain number have been arrested. The rest of them and the masterminds are being sought," it said.
The attackers targeted the general's car with machine guns and rocket launchers in the Kamenge district of Bujumbura.

The Triennial was held at the National Gallery of Victoria during the first quarter of 2018.
It featured the work of over 100 artists and designers from 32 different countries. It was full of art work, interactive exhibits and design.
Across the 122 days that the Triennial was open it attracted over 1,200,000 visitors, which is nearly half the amount of visitors that the NGV received in 2017 alone.
One of the great things about the Triennial exhibition is that it was spread out throughout the NGV – meaning you were able to discover the other amazing areas of the museum while you were there.
One of my favourites was Yayoi Kusama's 'Flower Obsession' which was probably the most popular part of the exhibition – it was the only area we had to line up to go and see. As you entered the room, each visitor was given a single sticker – a red flower – and we were asked to leave our mark around the room.
More than 550,000 stickers were affixed to the surfaces of an simple apartment and as the flowers built up, the apartment was completely covered from top to bottom.
See some of my other favourites from the Triennial (and the rest of the NGV) below!
