「打ち上げ前夜」 (Uchiage Zenya)
"Night Before Launch"
We're finally approaching launch – the first time any of the main cast in Uchuu Kyoudai will actually make it into outer space. This is the moment many of us have been looking forward to – the realisation of the first stage of Hibito and Mutta's shared dreams. It makes sense that worry will peak at this point in time, both felt by us, the audience, and by other characters within the show. The launch of Mars V may have gone smoothly, but the poor weather is less than desirable for this second launch, and rocket launches aren't quite like driving a car or taking a flight – they're not something we do on a daily basis. Because we're not used to them, there's far more room for worry – Mutta's mother is concerned over how thin the Mars I appears for example and I'm sure many people have worried over how flimsy an aircraft seems prior to their very first flight too.
This episode certainly doesn't seem to be trying to allay our fears. On the contrary, it seems to be doing everything it can to heighten the tension prior to launch. Misfortune seems to be piling up, from the stormy weather to the disappearance of Apo. While Hibito remains hopeful that the skies are going to clear sufficiently, even though the launch appears to be going ahead next episode, those skies still look rather foreboding. It's interesting how Mutta compares the weather and its hampering of the launch to his own feelings about Hibito's success. It's almost as if Mutta's feelings are actually what's getting in the way of the launch. But it's hard to blame him for feeling that little bit of jealousy – perhaps if he'd remained hopeful and stuck to his dream like Hibito, it'd be him preparing to go up in the Mars I. Perhaps they'd even be going together!
Uchuu Kyoudai reminds us in its typically humorous fashion that you can't always judge a book by its cover. As a seemingly random member of the audience demonstrates, having a mohican doesn't necessarily preclude a copious knowledge of space. Surprisingly enough, this child turns out to be the nephew of one of the astronauts going into space with Hibito on this launch. With that in mind it makes sense that he might know a lot about the how and why of the whole launch process.
tl;dr: @MoombaDS – Things are starting to look a little grim – will the launch go to plan? #SpaceBros
Random thoughts:
- It was pretty funny seeing Jennifer tell the mohican kid to look up the answers to his questions on wikipedia!
- Azuma remains as stoic as usual while everyone celebrates the successful first launch around him.
- It was rather an interesting reversal to see Mutta's mother come to visit him while worried in the night.
- As always, Serika's mind is turned towards food!

by Dirk Helbing (ETH Zurich and TU Delft) and collaborators
Motivation: As the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) is taking up speed, connected devices produce staggering amounts of data. Estimates by Cisco say that by 2020, there will be 7 times more connected things than people – devices which will produce hundreds of zettabytes of data every year. Moreover, according to IBM, data volumes will soon double every 12 hours, not just every 12 months. Then, it is neither possible to store all the data nor to transmit it all for centralized processing and optimization. Therefore, we expect a new, complementary big data paradigm to emerge. This will involve decentralized approaches, data aggregation, and "optimal forgetting" of data, also for reasons of costs, scalability, and security.
As the connectivity in today's techno-socio-economic systems increases steeply, systemic complexity does so, too. Taken together, this will exclude a centralized optimization of societal-scale systems, particularly due to the NP-hardness of some optimization problems and the limitations of predictability and calibration (such as over-fitting problems and parameter sensitivity). However, highly performing solutions can often be realized in real-time by means of flexible and adaptive, decentralized heuristics. These specify self-organizing systems. All that matters to reach a desired systemic outcome efficiently is a suitable choice of the interactions between the system components. The scientific disciplines of mechanism design and complexity science serve to identify these interactions.
Decentralized solutions also leave space for diversity in the locally applied goal functions. This allows for innovation and solutions that fit the respective context and local culture best. Diversity is also often favourable for innovation rates, for societal resilience to disruptive events, and for collective intelligence. For these and further reasons, decentralized and pluralistic systems can be superior to systems lacking diversity. (Note that, in biological systems, the value of diversity is already recognized since a long time.)
Managing the future data deluge wisely is currently one of the biggest challenges facing policy, industry and civil society. The project proposed here will study how big data from connected devices can be used to build a so-called Planetary Nervous System. We envision a transparent, open-access information system, which can support crowd-sourced real-time measurements of the world. A system like this could revolutionise many sectors, from urban planning and traffic control to the early detection of epidemics. Compatible with IBM's IoT paradigm of "device democracy", we propose a citizen-run participatory platform. The platform aims to have extensive features to protect user privacy and create big data as a public good. The goal is to build a participatory data ecosystem complementing classical big data approaches and to offer opportunities for everyone: science, business, politics, and the citizens.
Historical development and state of the art: In 1943, IBM chief Watson expected that there is a world market for maybe 5 computers. However, everything changed when computers were connected with each other. ARPANET networked a couple of military computers to make the USA less vulnerable to nuclear attacks, using the principle of decentralization. Soon after this, the Internet became accessible for everyone, and with the invention of the http protocol, Tim-Berners Lee made it possible to easily connect webpages with each other. This created the World Wide Web (WWW) and made it useful for non-experts, which was the precondition for the emergence of a multi-billion-dollar digital market. With social media, the Internet reached out for people, who became nodes of a global information processing system. Now, things are connected to the Internet too, creating the Internet of Everything. It is predicted that, by 2025, 150 billion sensors will be wirelessly connected to the Internet (of Things), which makes it possible to give objects senses and, together with actuators and machine learning software, even a certain level of artificial intelligence (AI).
This allows one to create a digital nervous system on a planetary scale, i.e. a global Internet-of-Things-based information system with an intelligent, learning software layer on top. The question is how to design and operate such a system to support a thriving economy and society. Answering this question requires not only knowledge from computer science and electrical engineering, but also knowledge from the social sciences and complexity science, to ensure a systemic view. Here, we propose the Nervousnet project to develop such an integrated solution.
Project overview: Unlike most Internet of Things initiatives spearheaded by big IT companies or public institutions, Nervousnet shall be run as a 'Citizen Web', built and managed by its users. Inspired by Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap, people, companies and devices will be able to interact with Nervousnet in 3 ways: by contributing data; by analysing the crowd-sourced datasets; and by sharing code and ideas. Anyone should be able to create data-driven services and products using a generic programming interface. The aim is to yield societal benefits, business opportunities and jobs.
Today, there are several Internet of Things platforms and data science projects that share Nervousnet's vision, but none has its scope.
These projects focus on participatory data collection (http://funf.org, http://www.kaaproject.org; http://thethingsnetwork.org/, or http://www.opensense.ethz.ch/trac/);
decentralized communication services (http://maidsafe.net/, https://www.ethereum.org, http://dcentproject.eu);
or big data analytics:(www.socialsensor.eu, http://datalook.io, https://www.amigocloud.com, http://stratosphere.eu, http://gdeltproject.org). Nervousnet aims to meet all three objectives
Moreover, Nervousnet wants to enable real-time measurement and feedback to support self-organising systems. For example, self-controlled traffic lights responding to local pedestrian and vehicle flows can reduce urban congestion and outperform today's systems based on centralised control. The ultimate challenge will be to digitally enable collective intelligence. Digital assistants can help bring knowledge, ideas and resources together. A pluralistic approach to information processing is important to view complex problems from varied perspectives and also to anticipate and assess rare and extreme events that are costly for society – such as natural disasters, blackouts or financial meltdowns.
Nervousnet uses distributed data storage and distributed control, so that it is more robust to attacks and centralized manipulation attempts, easy to scale up, and tolerant to faults. Nervousnet's approach is compatible with the principles of informational self-determination and, according to our judgment, also with the new EU Data Protection Directive.
Attracting users is a further challenge, which will be addressed by 'gamification' and a micro-payment system to reward and incentivise digital co-creation. As critics may worry about the responsible use of bottom-up systems, Nervousnet also aims to integrate reputation systems, qualification mechanisms, and self-governance by community moderators ("social technologies").
In the long run, we expect that measurements tailored to specific purposes, together with crowd-sourced data generation, curation and analysis may outperform the big data analytics approach currently in vogue. Just as the open standards of the World Wide Web created unprecedented opportunities and a multi-billion-dollar economy, the right framework for the 'Internet of Things' and digital society could foster an age of prosperity.
Project components: To provide the full perspective of the project, which may be realized long-term with complementary resources, we give an overview of the main envisaged platform components and functionalities in the following.
Figure: Schematic illustration of some core components of the Nervousnet concept.
In the long run, the Nervousnet platform (to run on several mobile platforms such as iOS and Android, but also on embedded devices such as Arduino) will comprise a considerable number of functional elements:
Real-time measurement: The Nervousnet platform opens up various sensors for real-time measurement of the world around us (status: done). This will enable the measurement of "externalities" such as social or environmental impacts of interactions between systems and system components (e.g. of noise or other emissions). We plan to make it easy to add further, external sensors, for example, for smart home applications, using Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms. [Has already been internally tested, needs to become easy to configure and use]
Anonymization: Data streams are not linked to personal or smartphone identifiers, but to a randomized identifier that can be specified to change over time. [Done]
Security: Data streams, communication and data sources (smart devices/their owners) shall be secured by state-of-the art encryption. Data shall be decentrally stored to reduce possible impacts of attacks. [Implementation in progress, will be further extended]
Privacy: The GPS sensor is not made accessible or turned off by default. The smartphone's microphone is not made accessible as a microphone. Its signal is turned into a virtual noise sensor by means of a digital filter. A similar strategy is applied to other sensitive sensors. [Implemented and on-going, see also "Data aggregation"]
Informational self-determination: Users can easily turn data collection through the Nervousnet platform on or off and regulate the frequency of data collection. Furthermore, they can determine separately for each virtual sensor, whether data will be logged only locally for one's own use (e.g. in smart home applications) or shared with others. [Implemented]
Decentralized data storage and processing: Nervousnet is based on distributed storage to make the platform resilient to attacks and centralized manipulation attempts, easy to scale up, and tolerant to faults. User groups can decide to join the Nervousnet community and share their data with it or decide to run their own data server. [Functional, under further development]
Forgetting: Most of the measurement data are needed for real-time feedback (as they are needed to enable self-organizing systems). Users will be able to specify a time period after which data will be non-decryptable or automatically deleted (at latest). On top of this, Nervousnet aims to determine strategies for optimal forgetting (the usefulness of most data decays quickly with time). [To be implemented]
Data aggregation ("global analytics engine"): Before their deletion, data may be aggregated to provide information such as minimum and maximum values, averages, standard deviations, or other relevant statistical quantities to provide information at various levels of granularity without revealing personal data. This is being done by a "global analytics engine". The particular novelty of our approach is that it can aggregate data in a fully decentralized fashion, even when input data changes over time [Feasibility has been successfully tested; first version available soon]
Local analytics engine: Data logged locally can be accessed for providing data-driven services to Nervousnet users. The data are managed and accessed transparently via a high-level application programming interface that hides low-level technical details. [First version exists, will be further extended]
Pluralistic data processing: Users can also process a certain volume of shared Nervousnet data for free for own applications, such as services or games. They can run their own data aggregation and visualization algorithms, such that their view of the world is not determined by others, but self-determined. [Must be made user-friendly.]
Data visualization: The Nervousnet platform will offer various possibilities to visualize data. For this, we intend to link the platform with an open source visualization platform that runs on various devices, including smartphones, such as the D3 JavaScript platform. [Feasibility has been tested; to be developed further]
Personal data store: Sensitive personal data is only stored locally on the own smartphone. A personal data store shall make it simple to administer the data according to various categories and determine whom to give access to what kind of data for what kind of purpose and period of time (e.g. for use by a bank or other company). We might integrate OpenPDS developed at the MIT or other open-source software such as digitalID. Transactions may be supported by a AI-based digital agent that learns the user preferences locally on the smartphone. [To be done.]
Personalized services: The personalization of services will be enabled by means of a matching principle. The offers by a provider of data, services or products can be customized using data from the personal data store, without revealing the identity of the customer or user (if they don't want to). [To be done.]
Social technologies: The Nervousnet platform will be equipped with social mechanisms (such as communication or social networking) in order to create social opportunities. This will consider knowledge from game theory, mechanism design, and complexity science such that the implemented mechanisms support coordination, cooperation, and responsible use. [To be done.]
Digital assistants: AI, machine learning and other approaches (such as recommendations and best practices from experts and users) will be employed to offer assistance to users. This will be done in a distributed way (e.g. on the user's smartphone) and only if explicitly agreed by the respective user. [To be done.]
Creating a Participatory Information and Innovation Ecosystem Open source and open innovation: Most computer code of the Nervousnet platform (not necessarily though the code of potentially commercial apps running on top of it) is made open source to allow experts to check its security and functionality. This creates trust and also participatory opportunities to contribute to the further development of the platform and its functionality. [This is our policy; a dual licensing model is being considered]
Crowd-sourcing and participatory opportunities: Users can contribute data, analyse the crowd-sourced data, contribute, use and modify code (e.g. new measurement methods, "virtual sensors"), or release apps using Nervousnet data. Therefore, anyone can create data-driven services and products using a generic programming interface. [Must be made user-friendly]
Reputation and incentive systems: In order to reward users for contributions (for data, code, and apps, or also for social, healthy or environmentally friendly behaviour...) and to assess the quality of data and services, multi-dimensional reputation and incentive systems will be designed and developed for the Nervousnet platform to provide a differentiated, context- and community-specific feedback. The incentive system will also be used to promote responsible use of the Nervousnet platform. [To be done.]
Collective intelligence and digital democracy: It is also planned to develop an online deliberation platform, which allows one to collect and integrate the knowledge and ideas of many people in order to support better solutions to problems that need to be solved. [To be done.]
Citizen and Business Engagement: One goal of the project is to reach citizen engagement with digital technologies, as this is important for the digital transformation of our society to succeed. For this, participatory opportunities and open innovation are as important as incentive systems and gamification (and a collaboration with companies and public media).
Treasure Hunt: This app allows to localize "Treasures" equipped with Bluetooth beacons, turning the smartphone into a kind of radar system measuring proximity. [App exists, must be integrated into the Nervousnet platform]
Competition Game: This app allows one to perform group competitions using the output of selected virtual sensors (measurement of acceleration, noise or distance). For example, one could perform a virtual arm wrestling or a biking competition. [App exists, must be integrated into the Nervousnet platform]
Swarmpulse: This app allows one to perform geo-located measurements of light or noise intensities and create corresponding maps. It is also possible to leave geo-located text messages, which could be links to photos or movies, thereby allowing people to map the environment around them. [To be done.]
Disaster response and societal resilience: This app should provide functionality in case the mobile phone network is broken down, offering information exchange via ad hoc network protocols such as the one used by "firechat". The app should also offer simple local coordination of supply and demand between peers – something like a sharing economy functionality for disasters. [To be done.]
Early warning system: Advance detection of impending risks with predictive analytics and methods from complexity and network science. [To be done.]
Usefulness for policy decision-making: Nervousnet and apps running on top of it (particularly Swarmpulse) will be able to engage with citizens and to collect data on the environment (allowing one to generate, for example, noise maps, maps of plant and animal species, etc.).
Invitation: Everyone who is motivated and qualified to contribute to the Nervousnet platform or Apps is invited to contribute. We are reaching out to international academic institutions, but also to coding, gaming and fablab communities to establish international Nervousnet hubs (see nervousnet.info). You can also apply to join the PhD class on "Engineering Social Technologies for a Responsible Digital Future" at TU Delft with your own funding, e.g. a stipend, see http://www.tbm.tudelft.nl/nl/onderzoek/engineering-social-technologies-for-a-responsible-digital-future/ for details.

There's not much middle ground to crossovers as they are usually either depressingly awful or brilliantly cool. On one side you've got frumpy FWD tall wagons, which have zero off-road capabilities yet manage to be crappy on-road as well. Then on the other side you've got true dual-purpose vehicles, able to impress on a winding tarmac backroad or a lumpy dirt trail. So while some may be duped into thinking a Jeep Compass is the best of both worlds, we'd much prefer this, the Mega Track. It's a supercar that can do whatever it wants to, wherever it wants to.
Built by the French Aixam Group in the mid '90s, only five examples were created. So was it another underpowered French surrender-monkey? Um, no. The Track had mega power in the form of a 6.0-liter Mercedes-Benz V12 pumping out about 400 HP, and it was mounted right in the middle of the car for classic supercar weight distribution. But how can all this be any good off-road? Well, the standard ride height of 8" was much more than most speed bump-scraping supercars to begin with, but if you wanted more you could just dial it up to 13". That sort of ground clearance combined with four-wheel-drive meant the Mega Track was able to provide high-speed thrills just about anywhere.

A scene unlikely to be repeated. A B-Cargo class 26 brings the empty lead ore train Stolberg/D-Antwerp westbound across the impressive bridge spanning the River Meuse in Vise. This service today is run by private operator Trainsport, a subsidiary of the German Rurtalbahn, and looks like this.
The French Astride engines, close relatives to the Belgian class 13s, routinely come down the Meuse valley as far north as Kinkempois in Liege. Here, 36005 pulls the daily Wembley/GB - Gremberg/D train through Hermalle-sous-Huy. Note the low British profile of the cars compared to the engine.
An interesting international assignment for Railion Netherlands' class 6400 MaK road switchers are the limestone trains between the Dutch steel mills at Beverwijk and Veendam and the Belgian quarry operation at Hermalle s/Huy. The quarry is owned by Dumont-Wautier. Here the Beverwijk train 49665's power has cut off their train at Hermalle and prepares to run back to Sittard/NL light engine.
Liege is your archetypal steel town. Dams, bridges, canals, railroads, and steel products being hauled through it all. A class 77 leaves the Arcelor-Mittal steel mill at Chertal in the stillness of the early morning, bringing another load of coils to the large classification yard of Kinkempois.
French Astride 36019 brings a Wembley/UK-bound freight through Flemalle Haute. The Astrides (Asynchrone Tritension) are a common sight in French-Belgian service. In the distance the train can be seen swinging off the freight line L125A from Kinkempois.
Ex-ERS 6602, now leased by SNCF Fret, leads the 48647 (di,vr Bon 15.45 Std 15.54 Mt 16.15 Fvs 16.30 Vsb - Anglefort Kolen) through Argenteau.
6518 + 6510 lead the empty limestone train 49665 (Beverwijk/NL - Hermalle) through Argenteau in the Meuse valley. Until the end of 2011 this train usually ran with DBS-NL (Railion NL) 6400s as power south of Sittard/NL.
1346 with IC Maastricht/NL - Ostende passes Hermalle-sous-Argenteau. This is probably the most scenic location on the L40, the Meuse valley line. The ICs run in push-pull configuration with a cab control car on the north end and (luckily) the engine on the south end.
2339 with an empty limestone train in the Meuse Valley is headed up river near Argenteau.
AM62 176 departing the station stop in Vise southbound for Liege.
7812 brings the local 74140 (Bressoux - Vise-CBR) through Cheratte-Bas. The building behind the bus is an old fortification guarding the road crossing here.
7812 brings the local 74140 (Bressoux - Vise-CBR) past Loëns.
The small Cockerill switcher of CBR in Lixhe.
7812 departs the CBR-Lixhe plant with 74141 (Vise-CBR - Bressoux ) in tow.

The Family Madge for the Cameras
Amid widespread speculation that her marriage is in trouble, Madonna trotted out the husband and the children last night in London for the premiere of Arthur and the Invisibles. But first… Rocco kills me – do you love him or what? I love him. And remember, 15 years from now, wait for the MaddRoc…Maddox Pitt and Rocco Ritchie, best friends and band mates – the future of gossip. For now of course it's Rocco's mother, looking wonderfully preserved per usual, if not a little desperate. Hey – I understand the need to show us all that things with Guy are nothing short of fantastic but is this kind of clinginess becoming of Madonna? If you weren't entirely convinced of the rumours before, are you MORE convinced of them now? Already emasculated in the press for living in the shadow of an outspoken superstar, Guy Ritchie now has to endure the embarrassment of the Pity Clutch – performed for the cameras in a futile attempt to convey that it's really HE who holds the power which, as we know, is a suggestion so preposterous, you have to wonder how bad it really is for her to be trying so desperately hard. Finally... can you believe Lola is 10? She's gorgeous, non? And not that you can tell from just one photo, an absurd observation really, but something about the way she's carrying herself, the way Madonna has her in age appropriate clothing with flat sensible shoes and a warm coat – getting the strong sense this girl has been raised well and I'm tell you… Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon will NOT be the next Britney or Lindsay or Paris or Dakota. Trust. Source

In addition to major lease statuses (under consideration, active, archived) the system gives you the option to track leases by more detailed statuses – requested, quoted, signed or withdrawn, activated, extended, early-terminated, buy-out, expired.
In addition to major lease statuses (under consideration, active, archived) the system gives you the option to track leases by more detailed statuses – requested, quoted, signed or withdrawn, activated, extended, early-terminated, buy-out, expired.
Manage your transition to IFRS 16/ ASC 842 standard without a headache
Import and export to/from other systems, using one of the following methods (or combination of methods): webservice, Excel files, XML files. Soft4Lessee can interface with other asset management, contract management systems, the general ledger system, and the management reporting system.
Have a database of your lease agreements, with three major statuses – new agreements under consideration, active leases, and archived leases (expired, or terminated early). Import data from Excel sheets or XML data files, or populate data via webservice.
As circumstances change, the system can calculate adjustments to lease liability and right-of-use asset value, and produce G/L postings accordingly.
Get ready reports which you need for your financial reporting and prepare additional information for IFRS 16 disclosures.
Calculate lease liability as the present value of lease payments, and the present value of amounts due at the end of the lease term, considering purchase or termination options. The system will automatically adjust lease liability as the circumstances change.
Calculate RoU Asset value considering lease liability, costs before lease commencement and the expected cost of asset return (e.g. costs of equipment dismantling, costs of restoring leased premises). If the lease liability is re-assessed, the RoU asset value changes accordingly.
If you have a composite contract that includes leases and services, the non-lease component is separated and posts to the operating expense account, separately from interest expense and asset depreciation expense, as required by IFRS 16.
The system allows lease modifications after the commencement date and will calculate the impact on lease liability and right-of-use asset. The system will produce G/L postings to reflect any lease modification.
Track leases by numerous statuses – under consideration, active, archived, requested, quoted, signed or withdrawn, activated, extended, early-terminated, buy-out, expired.
If you have leases with variable lease payments dependent on an index (like the Consumer Price Index) or reference interest rate (like LIBOR, EURIBOR), the system is able to calculate re-pricing and reflect it in accounting, as per IFRS 16 requirements.
Have required G/L transactions at each due date and at the end of the accounting period. You can download G/L transactions in detail or at summary level and feed them into your general ledger system via webservice integration, or via an Excel or XML file.
Determine lease term by a number of circumstances – whether you are reasonably certain to execute the purchase option, or extension option, or terminate the lease before the end of the term.
For purpose of comparison and impact analysis, Soft4Lessee can calculate and post to General Ledge expenses as per previous IAS 17 standard. This can also be used in scenarios, when IFRS 16 applied at group consolidation level.
If you have tens or hundreds of subsidiaries and account for leases per each legal entity, some functions can be run over multiple "companies" in Soft4Lessee.
Select the lease accounting standard:
Under IFRS 16 businesses with large portfolios of operating leases will be impacted by the change in IFRS 16 lease accounting standards, as the new standard require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. Get ready to meet the requirements and stay compliant with the standard with Soft4Lessee.
US GAAP standard ASC 842 will comes into effect on 1 January 2019. Companies, having large portfolios of operating leases will be influenced by this change as the standard requires all assets and liabilities regarding operating leases be presented on the balance sheet. Get ready to meet the requirements and stay compliant with the standard with Soft4Lessee.
AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model requiring lessees to recognize all leases on the balance sheet, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. This Standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 16 is equivalent to IFRS 16 with extra paragraphs on Leasing Treatment for Non-Profit Entities. Stay compliant with the new standard with Soft4Lessee.

The world's biggest television event so far this year isn't America's Super Bowl, but a live, almost five-hour spectacular of song, dance, and skits hosted by China's state television network. The annual Spring Festival Gala, which took place this past weekend as Chinese families celebrated the Lunar New Year, brings in as many as in 6.9 times more viewers than the US football game, or about 750 million people (paywall) as of last year.
This year's ratings aren't in yet, but there are signs that Chinese TV viewers weren't as impressed as they have been in years past, when up to 60% of households tuned in to the Spring Festival Gala, also known as chun wan. There was a time when phrases and jokes uttered on the show become catchphrases for years. But chun wan, which has always been important culturally and commercially to China, is quickly losing relevance on both fronts.
According to one one survey (link in Chinese) almost 60 percent of the viewers polled said they were extremely disappointed. In past shows, comedians would riff on current social issues from food safety to pollution. This time, the comedic acts were shortened and sterilized. Jackie Chan mistakenly described a dance titled the "best night" as the "last night." Bloggers questioned the artistic value of a 15-year-old girl spinning in circles for four hours. Other internet users mocked a singer intended to be running toward his "Chinese dream" as making no progress at all, given that he was on a treadmill.
Moreover, in contrast to the Super Bowl, where an ad spot costs $4 million per 30 seconds, China has banned commercials for the past four years so that the program can focus more on promoting socialist ideals and celebrating China's progress. Before the ban, advertising revenue for chun wan had been growing steadily (pdf, p. 36), reaching a record 650 million yuan (about $107 million) in 2010.
Companies can still benefit from the TV event. Tencent's WeChat saw over 10 million messages sent during the course of the show as viewers discussed it with their friends, and Chinese handset maker Xiaomi spent 30 million yuan to air a commercial one minute before the program began. The commercial ban, however, does represent a shift in the program's focus.
While the gala has always served an ideological purpose, it's becoming even more of a propaganda tool—a trend that is losing the favor of Chinese viewers who are growing more impatient with boring, heavily scripted programs. Popular Chinese public figures like the singer Cui Jian and tennis star Li Na opted out of this year's show. Even an editorial in the People's Daily in 2012, China's state-owned newspaper, called it a "passé gala."

There are some flavors that many could argue can go well with anything – Vanilla, chocolate, all the typical suspects. In my own opinion, I believe that there is one prominent culinary player that belongs in this category right up there with the best of them. Although rarely included, pumpkins deserve far more recognition in this area.
Autumn gives me an excuse to put pumpkin in just about everything, and I plan on taking full advantage of the opportunity before the season ends. I've already gone through three cans of it, and I'm just getting warmed up now! Oh, and just to clarify where I stand on the whole fresh vs. canned issue: I've heard a lot of argument that fresh is always better than canned, but please, give me a break here. With the vast quantities of puree necessary to satiate the pumpkin fiend in me, I would need a bigger car to accommodate their bulk when bringing them home. Not to mention the time, mess, cost… I do adore fresh pumpkin flesh and seeds, and plan to carve one of these lovely orange orbs for Halloween, but for baking and cooking, canned pumpkin is a joy in itself. [Even the experts agree with me!]
When I mentioned my desire to replicate the recipe I chanced upon at Slash-Food, I was met with a very skeptical response. Pumpkin hummus? Not what you might expect to find on grocery store shelves, but to me this sounded like a match made in heaven. I could never get enough of either of these individually, so mashed together I could only imagine it becoming a substance equally as addictive as crack.
The minute I saw a reasonable space of free time become available, I rushed to extricate my food processor from the jumble of assorted kitchen appliances strewn about in the cabinets. I was so excited to make my hummus, I was well on my way with everything out of cans and ready to go, when I discovered that there was no tahini in the house. Oops. Oh well, not a disaster – I just substituted a tablespoon of almond butter instead, to no ill effects. The clove of garlic I pulled from the bundle in the fridge appeared in my eyes to be puny in size, so I figured the more the merrier and threw three in to join the mix.
After hearing so many doubts about this particular invention, I found myself slightly reluctant to taste it when the moment of truth came. Oh the power of suggestion! Shaking off my momentary hesitation, I plunged my chunk of pita into the dip, and bit the bullet, so to speak. It did turn out very garlicy, but I wouldn't say that's at all a bad thing. To sum it all up though, all I can really say is… It's simply delicious.
Such a lovely orange hue, isn't it? I love this recipe so much, I think I may never buy commercial hummus again, and just make this version all year round.
Yes, it truly is that good.

Interpretive Summary: Accurate genetic evaluation of livestock is based on appropriate modeling of phenotypic measurements. Sometimes these phenotypes are measured several times over the life of the animal, so called longitudinal data. Fecal egg count (FEC), a type of longitudinal data, is commonly used to measure resistance to nematodes in ruminants. An infection curve can be calculated by mathematical functions for each animal using weekly FEC measurements. Consequently, the objectives of the present study were to determine the efficiency of random regression models in analyzing FEC data and determining FEC heritability. Results indicated FEC infection curves to be a moderately heritable characteristic.
Technical Abstract: Genetic evaluation of livestock is based on appropriate modeling of phenotypic measurements. In ruminants, fecal egg count (FEC) is commonly used to measure resistance to nematodes. A series of repeated FEC measurements may provide information about the population dynamics. A total of 6,378 FEC measures were determined for 409 animals between 1992 and 2003 from BARC Wye Angus herd. Original data were transformed using Box-Cox transformation to approach normality. The database was analyzed using Random Regression Models (RRM), by the REML method. RRM may be used as a new tool for genetic and non-genetic studies of FEC. Within the different orders of Legendre polynomials used, those with more parameters (order 4) adjusted FEC data best. Results indicated FEC to be a moderately heritable characteristic.

Parents not heeding flu warnings
This year's flu season is in full swing, with 41 states now reporting widespread illness.
Unfortunately, not enough children are getting the flu shot even though health officials recommend that all children six-months and older get the vaccine. According to a new study by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, less than 45 percent of children were vaccinated against the flu during a five-year study period.
"Our research showed that one in six children under age five who went to an emergency department or clinic with fever and respiratory symptoms during the peak flu seasons had the flu," said Dr. Katherine Poehling, associate professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at Wake Forest Baptist and lead author of the study, published in the online edition of the February issue of Pediatrics.
"Many of those illnesses could have been prevented by vaccination, the best known protection against the flu."
The researchers found that children less than six months of age had the highest hospitalization rates with flu. "Parents should include a yearly flu shot to protect themselves and their children," Poehling said.
"The best way to protect infants too young to receive the influenza vaccine is for pregnant women, the infant's family members and contacts to get the shot, too."
The study, funded by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reported population-based data on confirmed flu cases in children younger than five years old in three counties in Ohio, New York and Tennessee. More than 8,000 children seen in inpatient, emergency department and clinic settings were included during five flu seasons from 2004 through 2009.
During the study period, the researchers found that the overall, flu vaccination coverage changed little, whereas the rates of influenza hospitalization and prevalence of influenza among outpatients varied annually. The proportion of infants less than six months old diagnosed with flu increased to 48 percent as compared to 28 percent in a previous study (2000 – 2004) conducted by the research team.
However, for children between ages six months to five years, the proportion diagnosed with the flu remained similar in both studies. These data suggest that doctors' awareness of the flu among young infants has increased, but hasn't among older children.
The study also showed that seasonal flu remains an important cause of hospitalization, emergency department and outpatient visits among children and that the use of tools known to reduce flu rates – vaccination and antiviral medications – were underused, Poehling said.

Jobs stumps for new 'spaceship'-like Apple campus
Steve Jobs goes before the Cupertino City Council to show plans for a new corporate campus dominated by a single circular building.
Apple is bursting at the seams with employees, and CEO Steve Jobs wants to build a new corporate campus in Cupertino, Calif., that will be dominated by a single "spaceship"-like building.
Jobs went before the Cupertino City Council this evening (see video of the meeting below) to present plans for development of a campus that will augment--not replace--its current campus at Infinite Loop Drive. Jobs said the current campus holds about 2,800 employees, but the company has 12,000 employees in the area.
"Apple is growing like a weed," Jobs told the City Council. "It's clear we need to build a new campus."
Apple purchased 98 acres from Hewlett-Packard last year on Pruneridge Avenue, adjacent to 50 acres the company purchased in 2006. Apple did not reveal the selling price, but real estate experts estimate it may have been $300 million or more, according to an AllThingsD report.
It's on that combined parcel of land that Apple plans to construct an enormous four-story, circular building in which 12,000 people will be employed, Jobs said.
"Think about that, that's rather odd, 12,000 people in one building," Jobs told the council. "We've seen these office parks with lots of buildings--and they get pretty boring pretty fast. So we'd like to do something better than that."
"It's a bit like a spaceship landed," Jobs said of the building's unique design while showing the council artist renderings.
"There's not a straight piece of glass in this building--it's all curved," he said, citing the company's experience creating innovative Apple Stores around the world. "We know how to build the biggest pieces of glass for architectural use."
Apple's design calls for the campus to be 80 percent landscape with 6,000 trees, Jobs said, including apricot trees, orchards of which used to dominate the site before HP bought it decades ago. Most of the vehicle parking would be located under the building and landscape, Jobs said. It would have an on-campus energy center that would be its primary source of power, using the power grid as a backup. It will have an auditorium for presentations and an R&D center.
Jobs said the site is currently 20 percent landscape checkered with parking lots. Landscape would increase 350 percent, visible parking would decrease by 90 percent, and building footprint would decrease by 30 percent, he said.
The company's plans were welcomed with compliments by city council members. However, when queried by a council member about how Cupertino would benefit from the project, Jobs pointed out that Apple is the largest taxpayer in the city and that tax base would vanish if Apple had to move its operations to neighboring Mountain View. The council member followed up by asking if Apple might provide the city with free Wi-Fi, a comment that Jobs and many in the audience treated as a joke.
Another council member pointed out that the closest Apple Store was at Valley Faire Shopping Center in San Jose and wondered what it would take to see the company open a store in Cupertino. Jobs responded by pointing out that Cupertino didn't get traffic significant enough to support a store.
The company hopes to break ground on the project next year, with its opening planned for 2015.

Let's be friends." It's an easy line to drop during a break up, as it intends to ease the pain of a breaking heart. But should you be friends with your ex?
Here are 10 reasons why you can't be friends when the relationship is over:
• It's torture.: You're hanging out "as friends." He does something that makes you smile. You suddenly want to kiss him but can't. Why would you put yourself through that?!
• False hope.: Admit it, it's there. And if it's not there for you, it probably is for your ex.
• You can't undo the past.: If you've seen each other naked, you'll have always seen each other naked.
Note: Most platonic pals of opposite genders have not seen each other naked.
• You don't honestly want them to be with someone else.: There's a conflict of interest in your new "buddy-buddy" relationship, as you don't want your ex to start dating again.
Here's the catch: Real friends want each other to be happy.
• You can't talk about your personal lives without it getting awkward.: Again, real friends talk about their personal lives with each other.
• Do you want to go to his wedding?: No? Then you're not going to make a very good friend, are you?
• It's awkward for your mutual friends.: They know you dated. They remember the PDA. And now they have to figure out how to treat the two of you when you show up to a party together-but-not-together.
• The mixed signals.: There are too many nicknames, inside jokes and memories to start fresh, so you're likely to fall into old dating patterns even when not romantically involved. It can be confusing for one or both of you.
• The odds of finding true love are slim if you're still hanging out with your ex.: What new guy/gal wants to hang out with your ex every weekend?
• It's not healthy.: You've had your heart broken. Why not invest your time and energy in the people who make you happy, not the ones who've hurt you deeply?
And if you broke up because of betrayal, character issues, hurtful comments or incompatible values, why are you choosing to spend time with someone you've already learned isn't good for you?

(CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.
Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base.
Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for rival Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, said the Bosnia claim was part of "a growing list of instances in which Sen. Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."
Clinton told the paper's editorial board it was a "minor blip." Watch how Clinton described her trip »
"I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.
In a radio interview that aired Tuesday, Clinton said she wasn't worried about the incident hurting her credibility.
"I have been in the public eye for many, many years, and this is something that I think happens to anybody," she told radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In a foreign policy speech last week at George Washington University, Clinton used the description of a dangerous arrival to bolster her argument that she has the foreign policy experience needed to be commander in chief.
She said when she arrived in Bosnia on March 25, 1996, "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."
But news video footage of her arrival at Tuzla shows Clinton, then the first lady, calmly walking from the rear ramp of a U.S. Air Force plane with her daughter, Chelsea, then 16, at her side. Both Clintons held their heads up and did not appear rushed.
The video shows Clinton spending several minutes talking with the group, including an 8-year-old Bosnian girl who presented her with a poem, and later greeting U.S. troops.
Clinton has mentioned the sniper fire at least twice earlier in the campaign, including in December in Dubuque, Iowa, before the caucuses in that state.
Clinton's campaign has made foreign policy experience a centerpiece of her effort to come back against Obama, whom she is trailing in delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Watch a report on the Bosnia story and other political news »
During Monday's editorial meeting -- in which Clinton was seeking the Daily News' endorsement ahead of Pennsylvania's April 22 primary -- she was asked about the apparent discrepancy. The newspaper reported her response:
"Now let me tell you what I can remember, OK -- because what I was told was that we had to land a certain way and move quickly because of the threat of sniper fire. So I misspoke -- I didn't say that in my book or other times but if I said something that made it seem as though there was actual fire -- that's not what I was told," she told the newspaper.
"I was told we had to land a certain way, we had to have our bulletproof stuff on because of the threat of sniper fire. I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac but that there was this 8-year-old girl and, I can't, I can't rush by her, I've got to at least greet her -- so I greeted her, I took her stuff and then I left. Now that's my memory of it."
Meanwhile, as Clinton backpedaled from the description of her Bosnia trip, the senator from New York was keeping her focus on the economy with a town hall-style meeting Tuesday in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
Clinton also pushed back against recent speculation by pundits and Democratic insiders that her chances of securing the nomination are quickly diminishing.
"I know there are some in Washington, and some in the media, who want this race to be over," she said to a loud chorus of boos.
"There are some who think we don't need to hear the voices of people in Pennsylvania or Indiana or North Carolina or Montana or any of the other states that haven't had their chance to vote. Well, I disagree."
Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, focused on the economy and the housing situation Tuesday, participating in a roundtable discussion in Santa Ana, California.
McCain blamed "rampant" speculation and "complacent" lenders for the mortgage crisis.
Vowing not to "play election-year politics," he called for more transparency in lending and higher capital reserves for lenders.
Obama had no public events scheduled Tuesday. The senator from Illinois was wrapping up a brief vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
He resumes campaigning Wednesday, with stops scheduled in North Carolina.
He said he planned to spend a lot of time talking about the economy when he returns. E-mail to a friend

Customers' commentsI got this light for my R53 Cooper S and the plug in for the harness did not fit the harness in the car. I needed to modify the circuit board and change the wiring harness in my car so that it would fit. Nick Simone
Love your business and your attempt to service MINI owners. One suggestion for you. When you feature a produce on the front of your emails each time, you should explain just exactly what the part is, what it does, and why a MINI owner would want to replace something on their car with it. All of us are not mechanics and might not recognize a picture of a part. As you do the site now, you always put these things in there and the copy is written as though everyone knows exactly what the part is for.
Another idea, what are the types of things that many MINI owners can do with their cars in terms of customization. Your site is so vast and the number of ideas so large, it's hard for the average person to get their arms around what you offer and why we should buy. You write as though we already know what we want when we come to your site. In actuality, many MINI owners who are not car-savvy don't even know what they might be looking for.
I hope this is helpful.
