California-based AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) continues its relentless march -- or the airborne equivalent of a march -- to raking in every last cent of the $65.5 million the Pentagon has awarded it to produce unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the U.S. Army.
On Wednesday, the drone maker announced the Army has released $13.8 million in incremental funding to pay for additional RQ-11B Raven small UAVs, Mantis miniature gimbaled payloads (i.e. upgraded video cameras), and spare parts. That's roughly 5% of the amount of revenues AeroVironment collected in all of last year.
The Raven, probably AV's most famous product, is a 4.5-pound UAV that can be carried in a soldier's backpack, and launched by tossing it in the air. It then sends day and nighttime real-time video imagery back to a ground controller wirelessly for "over the hill" and "around the corner" data to permit small tactical units to conduct local reconnaissance.

It is in this context that a series of activities to build the capacity of girls on the use of mobile applications to fight against poverty in Burkina Faso, was organized during the months of July and August 2016 by UNESCO and the African Youth Network. During the first phase, 104 girls were trained in the use of mobile applications to fight poverty, especially among girls. The next phase focused on initiating 20 young women leaders of associations in the development, design and sharing of mobile applications.
In order to ensure sustainable interactions among the young women trained through the use of ICT platforms, the African Youth Network made available effective networking tools, specifically designed to facilitate young girls' understanding of online networking strategies. Young girls, all connected thanks to the virtual network, used social networks as support for direct online exchanges.

My doctor back in Canada recommended that I get a vitamin B12 shot once a month a while ago, it's not critical, just recommended. I hadn't had one since November so I spoke to one of my adult students who's a doctor. He actually had the hospital pharmacy bring in stuff from Seoul or something. You can buy it in any pharmacy in Canada without a prescription. Vitamins and the like are expensive and unusual here.
So, anyway, I went to the hospital to get the injection, it's intramuscular which means I can't really give it to myself. When your muscles tense it's like trying to put a needle into a block of wood. The nurse gave me the shot in my butt and I just expected to hop up and walk away but then she started smacking me on the ass. To get the injection moving, I guess. I started laughing and in a few minutes half the nurses were rolling on the floor laughing, too. I look forward to my next shot.
Later the same day one of the kids came to class with a syringe loaded with liquid. (completely unrelated to my uproarious morning) On closer inspection the syringe had a steel needle at the tip. I removed the needle and gave it to the director, accompanied by much whining from the student. She'd bought this little item in a toy shop apparently and was really upset that she couldn't have the steel needle part. When I asked her why she said "It's not as scary.", to which I replied, "Exactly." At least the first needle of the day was funny.

Debating (Issue 10 2016)
Written on the 7 July 2016
Debating Round 3
The third round of the Debating SA competition presented our Senior Team with the challenging task of affirming the proposition "That Artificial Intelligence is a risk to humanity." The result was a close decision awarded to our opponents, Blackwood High, who produced well developed rebuttal. For Sacred Heart, Charley Hillier as 1st Speaker displayed lucid definition and team split, supported by clearly delineated arguments. In her first Senior debate, Mariana Moniz as 2nd Affirmative showed strong team method and relevant elaboration of key points. Sharlyn Burdon produced insightful rebuttal and efficient summary as 3rd Speaker. The Adjudicator commended our students on the quality of their research and the organisation of their case. Lili France confidently chaired the debate.
The Year 10 Team showed the benefit of thorough preparation and improved team method in their close encounter with Pembroke. Despite the narrowest of losses, Ashley Lleshi, Austin McLure, and Thomas Fritz made a strong case for the proposition "That Australia Day should be called Invasion Day." Significant development in rebuttal was also demonstrated by the boys, with Ashley establishing a strong foundation for his team's case in his debut as 1st Affirmative Speaker.John Kelly

Victor likes acoustic music. Victor admires raw talent.Victor thinks the Montreal music is awesome. Victor thinks that Stars are an incredible band. Victors doesn't like it when I call them The Stars. :)
Here' what he had to say:
"Taking nothing away from Grammy award winning Arcade Fire, I still think Stars make the best music coming from Montreal these days. Known more for their big sound, they are clearly just as comfortable jamming in an office. The NPR Tiny Desk Concert series strikes again! PS - if you're watching other Tiny Desk Concerts, check out Tom Jones' from a couple years ago... awesome." -Victor

DDCA did not back Jimmy, says Bedi
Former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi lashed out at the Delhi and District Cricket Association for failing to back former national selector Mohinder Amarnath.cricket Updated: Oct 13, 2012 00:18 IST
Former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi lashed out at the Delhi and District Cricket Association for failing to back former national selector Mohinder Amarnath.
Amarnath, who was supposed to become chairman of the national selection committee, was removed from the panel by the BCCI even before he had completed his stipulated term.
At a press conference organised to highlight the ills plaguing Delhi cricket, Bedi said, "Jimmy (Amarnath) had a glorious opportunity, but (the) DDCA didn't back him. Everyone knows his credentials and character… it is unfortunate that he did not get the support of the DDCA."
Money matters
Bedi added that Delhi cricket needed administrative overhaul. He lamented that cricketers had no say in administration and expressed concern over the way the money received from the BCCI was not being spent properly. "I got 25 wickets put up (at an academy) and it cost just Rs 2 lakh. But for the DDCA, a strip of five wickets costs about Rs 5 crore! Almost all the associations have indoor facilities. But DDCA is an exception," he added.
Bedi was at the forefront of a fight against administrative ills in the 1970s. "The officials then were angels compared to the current officials," he said.
Former India player, Kirti Azad, said that while relatives of DDCA officials had been made members, former India captain, Kapil Dev, wasn't there on the members' list.

|Celiac friendly
Recent trip landed us in Warrensburg only for lunch. went here, was somewhat thrown off by GPS as they moved across the street and sign says Tony' s Restaurant. They were very nice and GF options are printed on the menu!! They have a variety of GF options offering GF bread for sandwiches, GF pasta and even GF pizza crust. It's was so nice to eat at a place unknown and have so many options. I ordered the GF Philly steak pizza and it was delicious!! Wish we lived closer bc I would totally go back!! My hubby and son had the regular chicken Alfredo pasta and they said it was good too, definitely plenty of chicken on their plates as some places skimp on that part. We all left full & HAPPY!!
|Celiac friendly
They are great and very knowledgeable about GF foods and have separate cooking pans and all so no cross-contamination issues! Very friendly staff. They have a family member who has celiac disease. My son loves their GF food and the other food is good too!
|Celiac friendly
Lots of Gluten free options, overall okay food.
|Celiac friendly
Stopped here while visiting area. Staff went more than the extra mile to insure that my meal was truly gluten free. Food excellent! Recommend the pepper jack and chipotle ranch chicken grinder on GF roll!
Changed name to TONY'S RESTAURANT. Very knowledgeable and accommodating!! Has separate pans and oven for GF. They have a family member who has celiac disease, so they really understand. Come here for your GF needs.
|Not celiac friendly
I went here with my family, and proceeded to watch them eat. they were "out"of everything gluten free. our waitress had no idea what gluten was which was obvious by her offering me bread. they did have gluten free pizza but by the time you get toppings on its over $20 for a 10in pizza, so not worth it. very sad that I can't support a local restaurant
What a great, local place with great gluten-free choices! The meatball sandwich I ordered was so good and the bread tasted great as well!
Great Food and Knowledgeable, helpful staff
great selection, interesting spot. are here both nights we were in town!
they are very freindly and a majority of their menu can be ordered gluten feee. they did tell me that if i wanted pasta i would have to call ahead if i was in a hurry because it takes longer to cook. they also see a few gluten free gocery items such as pasta, bread, cookies, muffins, ext. its a bit expensive, but its the only place in town that has so many options.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), caused either by blunt force or acceleration/
- Cleopatra Roberts
- 3 years ago
- Views:
1 Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Carol A. Waldmann, MD Traumatic brain injury (TBI), caused either by blunt force or acceleration/ deceleration forces, is common in the general population. Homeless persons are at particularly high risk of head trauma and adverse outcomes to TBI. Even mild traumatic brain injury can lead to persistent symptoms including cognitive, physical, and behavioral problems. It is important to understand brain injury in the homeless population so that appropriate referrals to specialists and supportive services can be made. Understanding the symptoms and syndromes caused by brain injury sheds light on some of the difficult behavior observed in some homeless persons. This understanding can help clinicians facilitate and guide the care of these individuals. Prevalence and Distribution Every year in the USA, approximately 1.5 million people sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI), 230,000 people are hospitalized due to TBI and survive, over 50,000 people die from TBI, and more than 1 million people are treated in emergency rooms for TBI. In persons under the age of 45 years, TBI is the leading cause of death. Health costs from TBI are estimated to be in the range of $35 billion per year. Eighty to ninety thousand Americans experience the onset of long-term disability as a result of a TBI. TBI is classified into categories of severe, moderate, and mild. Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), often referred to interchangeably as a concussion, can cause persistent disabling problems such as headache, confusion, memory and cognitive problems, mood changes, changes in sleep pattern, or sensory problems. In most cases of MTBI patients recover fully, but up to 15% of patients diagnosed with MTBI by a physician experience persistent disabling problems. Up to 75% of brain injuries are classified as MTBI. These injuries cost the US almost $17 billion per year. The groups most at risk for TBI are those aged years and those aged 65 years and older. Men are twice as likely to sustain TBI as women. Causes TBI occurs either with blunt force trauma to the head or as a result of rapid acceleration/deceleration. Diffuse brain injury can occur when the brain moves back and forth within the skull. The greatest amount of damage is often in the temporal and frontal lobes where the brain comes into contact with bony structures. Localized injury can also occur with penetrating head injuries. The leading TBI and Mood Swings. This man suffered a gunshot wound to the head and many subsequent traumatic brain injuries while homeless. These photographs show the rapid mood swings often seen after TBI. Photos by Carol Waldmann MD The Health Care of Homeless Persons - Part III - Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) 237
2 Brain Injury. This long time patient of BHCHP had a resection of a subdural hematoma in Note the visible change in the shape of his skull from brain surgery, which included partial resection of the temporal lobe. causes of TBI in the general population include motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), falls, firearm accidents, and sports/recreational injuries. Although no controlled studies have been done, homeless persons appear to be at high risk for TBI given that substance abuse, MVAs, and violence are common in this population. Substance abuse leads to a large number of falls. When a person passes out or takes a header, it is equivalent to being dropped on the head from their height. Half of all TBI is associated with alcohol use, either in the injured or the person causing the injury. Alcohol use is also shown to result in a higher level of post trauma disability. Diagnosis The definition of mild, moderate, and severe traumatic brain injury has varied slightly in different studies, but the most frequent delineation of these categories is based on the Glasgow Coma Scale. Combined with the existence/duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and/or loss of consciousness (LOC), the following definitions are most useful: severe brain injury - GCS 8 or less, LOC >24 hrs, and/or PTA >24 hr; moderate brain injury - GCS 9-12, LOC 1/2-24hr, and/or PTA 1-24hr; mild brain injury - GCS of 13-15, LOC< 30 min, and PTA < 1hr The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) MTBI Working Group defined MTBI as the occurrence of an injury to the head arising from blunt trauma or acceleration/deceleration forces with one or more of the following conditions attributable to the head injury: 1. any period of observed or self reported: - transient confusion, disorientation, or impaired consciousness; - dysfunction of memory around the time of injury; - loss of consciousness lasting less than 30 minutes; 2. observed signs of other neurological or neuropsychological dysfunction, such as: - seizures acutely following injury to the head; - irritability, lethargy, or vomiting follow ing head injury, especially among infants and very young children or; - headache, dizziness, irritability, fatigue, or poor concentration, especially among older children and adults. Diagnostic tests and imaging can be useful, particularly in the case of sports-related injuries. Neuropsychological testing is appropriate when Based on Luerssen TG.

3 emotional or cognitive symptoms may be present. The primary tool for diagnosis remains careful history. All patients should be asked about injuries or accidents, as many patients do not spontaneously mention head injuries to their doctors. If they have had an injury a detailed history of signs and symptoms of head injury should be taken. Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of TBI MTBI (with or without LOC or PTA) can result in long term sequelae including somatic, mood, anxiety, cognitive, and behavioral disorders. Psychosis also occurs in some cases. The major risk factors for neuropsychiatric disturbances after brain injury include age, atherosclerosis, and alcoholism. Premorbid personality, social stressors, and lack of social supports also play significant roles in the level and type of disturbance. One study of 100 subjects revealed post injury personality disorders in 66%, with a pre-tbi personality disorder diagnosis in 24% of the sample. Cognitive disturbances after head injury include dementia, delirium, amnestic disorder, and intellectual impairment. Mood disorders are common, including major depression in 25% and mania in 9% of patients. Anxiety disorders range in frequency from 11-70%, depending on the study cited. 10% of patients have apathy without depression. Schizophrenia-like psychosis occurs in %; most of these patients did not have a family history of schizophrenia. Diffuse brain damage with predominance in the frontal and temporal lobes (at times caused by MTBI) is thought to cause behavioral dyscontrol disorders. Symptoms include: mood problems, such as irritability, rage, and anger; cognitive deficits, including impaired memory, attention, and judgment; and behavioral dysfunction, including impulsivity, aggressivity, hyperactivity, hyperphagia, and pica. A wide range of somatic symptoms with a neurological basis also occur. Management The sequelae of TBI are diverse, and the management must be tailored to the individual. If individuals are seen soon after an injury, referral to a physician should be made as soon as possible. Base- The Health Care of Homeless Persons - Part III - Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) 239
4 line neurological, emotional, and cognitive findings should be carefully recorded. Patients at any stage should be evaluated for the ability to resume risky activity, such as operating machinery, driving motor vehicles, or participating in sports. Most research in this area has been around returning to sports activities and may be applied to other settings. When cognitive or emotional symptoms interfere with normal relationships and functioning, as is often the case in the homeless population, patients should be referred to a neurologist and/or a psychiatrist. Referral to specialized multidisciplinary cognitive therapy programs should be considered. Patients should be educated about their condition, treatment plan, and prognosis. It is often a relief to patients and their support systems to understand the probable relationship of a head injury to changes in functional level, memory, concentration, personality, and emotions. Support is often available at the local chapter of the Brain Injury Association, but homeless patients often need significant additional support and assistance in accessing such services. Patients may also be eligible for disability benefits and should be assisted in obtaining these benefits, which may enable them to access services and housing. MTBI results in diminished reaction time, and those with recent concussions are at high risk for secondary injury. Individuals should be educated about this risk. Assistance in getting into a safe environment for recovery and secondary prevention should be provided if appropriate. Patients should be given written instructions about what activities may be dangerous and when certain of these activities can be resumed. Summary Brain injury is common in both the general population and specifically in the homeless population. Many homeless people are at risk of brain injury due to the high prevalence of accidents, substance abuse, and violence in this population. Persons with brain injury tend to decline in socioeconomic status due to neuropsychiatric disturbances following head injury. They are frequently unable to hold jobs or maintain interpersonal relationships, and are at increased risk of being involved in the criminal justice system. This increases the risk of becoming or remaining homeless. Alcoholism decreases the brain s ability to heal and increases the risk of neuropsychiatric and physical sequelae of brain injury. All head injuries in the homeless population, including MTBI, should be taken seriously. Referral to a health care clinician should be made as soon as possible after a head injury, and every effort should be made to find a safe environment for the injured person to recover. Physicians and mid-levels should routinely screen for past head injury and sequelae of TBI. Patients with evidence of ongoing symptoms should be referred to the appropriate services and counseled about secondary prevention, possible complications, and prognosis for recovery.

Reposted fromoniglass
thought it was pretty damn funny.
You know the drill. Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for a significant other by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic. Every Valentines day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift that will show your wife or girlfriend that you really do care for them more than any other. Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret; guys really don't enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Another secret; guys feel left out. That's right, there's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or too embarrassed to admit it.
Which is why a new holiday has been created.
March 14th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you care for him.
No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. Thats it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 14th!
The word is already beginning to spread, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world. And, of course, steak and BJ's.

Hey guys !
I created a small tools to make cropping and resizing of portraits for BG:EE easier.
Just open a file, select the zoom (with scrollwheel) and the cropping position (with mouse drag) and save it. The name will be formatted for BG:EE, as well as the image format. You can have different cropping positions and zoom sets for the three different sizes.
I also added a batch processing. Select an input and output folder, and the job will be done for any picture file found in the input folder (and subfolder).
It's written in Python, the GUI with Tkinter, and I use Pillow for image manipulation.
The source code is here : https://github.com/Vagdish/BGPyrtraits
You can run the source code with proper installation of Python 3.3 and Pillow 2.0.0.
I Freezed the app for those who doesn't want to install Python :

But, I do come to show my latest finish -
by Lizzie Kate
unknown scrap of linen
DMC Floss
As I had them laying out on the table DH asked how I was going to finish them. I told him flat ornaments. He thought they would be huge and would make good pillows. I don't want 12 Santa pillows though. So, I ask you - how would you finish them? I had wanted them to go on a railing or the tree. Hmm...
Went to Cleveland yesterday and visited the Ewe. Sadly, they didn't have the frames I hoped they would have. Came home with one. :( In an effort to make sure the trip was not a waste of fuel, I also snagged 3 more Christmas related L*K patterns, the newest Silver Creek - Love is Forever, and some linen. Shoot, I didn't even spend $50. So, of course, I rushed home and made an order out to Nordic Needle! And even then I got just a couple of things. What is this world coming to when I stay within my budget on stitchy stash??
The basement cleaning continues. I have managed to wade through all my Christmas ornaments and such. I have two sets of shelves that are 10' long and have two shelves each plus the floor beneath - 60' of storage - ALL CHRISTMAS. Although, one floor section is the tree. So, 50' of Christmas decorations. Let me just say this - I thought I would be getting rid of more and instead I boxed it properly and ended up with more room taken up. Shoot. I have managed to get to the other side of the basement where the pool table lives. There is a 15' section of cleaning to go. Maybe I'll get down there today and finish this madness.
I've been thinking (going to warn you to put the coffee down) and I need an answer. We have extremely cold weather coming in this week - our first Arctic blast of the winter. Serious see your breath when you go outside weather. And it made me wonder - if you fart in this type of cold air - can you see the poof of steam? What if you really had gas and thought, "Oh, I can fart out here in the parking lot" and let one go - would everyone see the poof of steam? Can you imagine your 'I'm better than you' boss making a poof of steam while coming into the work place? I'd never be able to take them seriously again.
Well folks, I think I'll leave you pondering that little nugget of weirdness for the day.
Have a great week and stay warm!

Silent Movie Night March 24, 2018 - Film Festival Part II featuring 4 Laurel & Hardy silent films accompanied by John Mucci live on piano.
The power of black and white silent films derives partly from nostalgia and partly from the poetic dreamlike quality of silent era films. That forty-year focus on visual storytelling inspired directors such as Hitchcock and Spielberg who have made films that seem to work even with the sound muted.
Our cinematic evening is hosted by the leadership team of the Cannon Grange, and graciously enhanced by John Mucci's seasoned hands on the piano. Join us in experiencing the art and craft of movie making, and question whether our picks of four Laurel and Hardy silent films do justice to an era that pioneered the best aspects of modern cinema.
The show will start at 7:30PM, but please come early so you can say hello, pay for your ticket, grab free popcorn, and find a suitable seat! All seating is general admission and $7 per person.
Cannon Grange Hall Address @ 25 Cannon Rd, Wilton, CT 06897
Free Parking at the Cannondale Railroad Station diagonally across the road from the Cannon Grange Hall

How to expose violence and protect victims and witnesses?
In an atempt to do so, we have been researching initiatives implemented by activists and artists who deal with digital technologies and matters of security in the public space.
According to Transgender Europe's [1] project Trans Murder Monitoring [2], between the 1st of January of 2008 until the 30th of April of 2016 there have been 1654 reported cases of letal violence against trans people in Central and South America. Most of the cases were accounted in Brazil, a total of 845.
Since last year, when the most conservative set of politicians since 1964 took office in the brazilian Congress [4] [5], there has been 469 reported cases of homolesbotransphobic murder accounted by one particular LGBT NGO called Grupo Gay da Bahia.
GGB's initiative, called Quem a Homotransfobia Matou Hoje? [6], gathers information of such cases mainly from newspapers, same method adopted by Rede Trans do Brasil [7]. RTB's approach, though, is also about collecting data about suicides and assorted cases of human rights violations.
Over the past years, a few apps regarding gender-biased violence started being produced in Brazil. Some of them are running and being widely downloaded like Sai pra lá [8], used to register geographically cases of violence against women. Tem local? [9] works in a similar way, but within a wider range of non-heteronormative communities, since the user chooses among 12 options of sexual orientation and gender identity to specify the type of violence that took place in a certain location. Mona Migs [10], still not released to the public, intends to create a social network of vulnerable people and volunteers who would house them for a period of time.
Zach Blas, a north-american artist and queer activist, discusses deeply the implications of the neglect of governmental institutions to deal with gender, class and racial violence when it comes to digital technologies in the public space. We further discuss his work in an article [13] published in the Oficina Vigilância bulletin edited by Coding Rights.

'estridente' means 'shrill' in portuguese, a high-pitched loud noise. The word is usually used to describe overly audible human voices, frequently associated to feminine-sounding people.
In this project, we wish to expose assaults against non-heteronormative people. For instance, we came up with a DIY portable sound device, powered by a 9V battery, that works as a kind of alarm. It can be used in a variety of ways which we'll discuss below.
Working with existing data.
[1] 'Brasil, país do transfeminicídio', by Berenice Bento.
It is our goal to expand the project into digital solutions such as the assemblage of GPS receivers, creation of apps or optimization of data collected by existent apps and reports, creating networks against psychological abuse, etc. .
This work was inspired by Berenice Bento's concept of 'transfeminicídio'[1]. The murdering of trans people in Brazil, the country with the highest rates of homolesbotransfobic violence according to a number of sources, is rarely taken seriously by the police or other governmental entities. Victim's families don't usually mourn the deaths of their children or relatives. Media coverage hardly causes commotion or even respect gender identities and other sorts of information regarding the victims. Moral violence and death threats are a regular part of the everyday lives of the majority of non-heteronormative people in Brazil.
It is our aim to make this kind of violence more audible.
How can gender-biased violence be exposed and augmented in the public space? If the police forces are not ones to count on, how can a more organized and empowered community react to violence? What are the informational vulnerabilities of the heterenormative system that neglects cases of violence in Brazil?
an electronic micro-hysteria project.
estridentes work as portable sound synthesizers made out of electronic components such as ICs 386 and 555, assorted resistors, capacitors, leds and 8Ω speakers. They reach up to 75dB (a store-bought whistle reaches 90 dB) of a high-pitched, temporized tone that quickly catches the attention of anyone passing by.
The project started as a way of breaking the silence of desert streets at night, places where happen most cases of transfemicide (tranfeminicídios). We have three usage suggestions:
1. As a personal "sound bomb", used to call attention to places where an episode of violence (like verbal os physical abuse, threats, etc.). Since we're talking about a low-cost DIY sound synthesizer, it can be thrown or placed in a strategic spot with no necessity of the user coming back for it.
2. A wearable alarm that could be sewn in jackets, purses or used as an accessory. This way the user calls dramatic attention to a situation she/he is living, saving her/his breath for other purposes.
3. Strategically located alarms in places like apartment windows, shop façades, etc., spots known by the community aimed at the public space. In this case, we could use the data from the apps mentioned above as a means of studying critical areas and how we could articulate the community. The way NGO Criola responded to racist comments made on the internet is an inspiration in this case [11], although we wish to find a solution more aligned open-source standards.
Since this device is a low-cost, easy to assemble project, the idea is that we make workshops to the public so people can have their own alarms and use them according to their wishes and necessities. We've been in touch with activists such as the team from Transgrupo Marcela Prado, in Curitiba, artists and people of the community who are interested in the project.
We wish to augment the project by investigating further ways that digital data could help us. For instance, we wish to assemble our own GPS receiver using a MAX2769 chip [12] or a similar component and study ways of hosting it online. Other two possibilities are a) to develop apps that indicate through notifications when a person is walking by a dangerous area and b) forming online networks to protect gender dissidents from psychological abuse.

In his Facial Weaponization Suite project, Blas scrutinized biometric, corporate surveillance and matters of privacy through a queer perspective. He used data taken from queer faces to create masks that are undetectable by facial recognition interfaces, and this way strategically articulated social stigma to create a form of political resistance. This is an inspiration for us: to empower ourselves with our high-pitched voices, perceived as hysterical and hateful, to shake social and institutional violence against dissidents.
Ricardo Dominguez, founder of the Eletronic Disturbance Theater, says that "activists break the law, while artists change the conversation theatrically, by disturbing the law" [14]. He and his group came up with the Transborder Immigrant Tool, a low-cost mobile telephone used to make the crossing of the desertic border between Mexico and United States less lethal and dangerous for immigrants. The very existence of this device is a way of exposing the brutality of the xenophobic language applied by the United States' politics towards immigration.

Erikka Williams doesn't need to look any further than right outside her window to recognize one of the big factors that determined her college destination.
The persistent rain and cool conditions of spring in western Pennsylvania have made training difficult on Williams and most other top-notch track and field athletes in the area. So when Williams narrowed her college choices to Kent State and South Alabama, the school that is a member of the Sun Belt Conference won out.
"I think the weather issue ... I think I'd just like performing down there," said Williams.
Williams signed a national letter-of-intent with South Alabama Tuesday on the eve of one of the biggest meets of the year, the MAC Championship. She will receive a full scholarship.
Williams, the younger sister of Olympic silver medalist Lauryn Williams, had several schools courting her, but South Alabama didn't enter the picture until just a couple months ago. Once she made her visit and saw all the renovations taking place on the Mobile campus, she was hooked.
"I think with all the facilities being brand new ... and they also have a young coaching staff, and she'll be learning to grow in a young program that will be up and coming," said Devan Parise, Williams' coach at Rochester. "She can be a big help with that."
Lauryn Williams went through the recruiting process during her stellar high school career at Rochester; she wound up at the University of Miami before going on to global stardom. But she didn't try to sway her younger sister one way or the other.
"She just told me to pick where I'm most comfortable and where I could see myself being," said Erikka, who is leaning toward a major in sports management. "Not really anything different from what anyone else told me."
With her college decision out of the way, Williams can now concentrate on a strong finish to her high school career. After the MAC meet today, she'll participate in the Baldwin Invitational on May 6 then, in all likelihood, the WPIAL (May 19) and PIAA (May 27-28) championships.
Williams will be looking to turn her fistful of silvers into gold. She was runner-up in the 100, 200 and long jump at the WPIAL Championships and also was runner-up in the long jump at the PIAA championship. She also placed third in the PIAA 100 meters and eighth in the 200.
"I'm just glad it's out of the way right now," said Williams about her college decision. "I kind of wanted to wait until the track season was over, but now I can enjoy the rest of my season."

Superman might seem like the archetypal superhero but his story is probably the most unique of the popular superheroes. Some have even called Superman the original American myth.
American Jerry Siegel and Toronto-born Joe Shuster spent years trying to get their "superman" idea off the ground. Superman was originally an evil lunatic with telepathic power that he used to torment. After Siegel suggested they make Superman a good guy, the two quickly found success with their then unprecedented idea of a superhero.
The first issue of Superman came out in 1938 (see image below) and cost 10 cents -- about $1.64 today. Superman's first appearance was in Action Comics #1 -- an original copy of the comic book went for $3.2 million on eBay in 2014. The instant success of the first Superman comic was such that it launched what historians have called a Golden Age of comic books. Superman's success convinced Action Comics' publisher, Detective Comics, to focus all its efforts on superheroes and become what everybody knows today as DC Comics.
What makes Superman unique is that he's an alien who comes to Earth and assumes a human alter-ego. Spider-Man is really Peter Parker, Iron Man is really Tony Stark, but Superman is Kal-El from the planet Krypton. As Quentin Tarantino brilliantly told us in Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Superman assumes the identity of mild-mannered Clark Kent in an attempt to fit in with the rest of humanity. Clark Kent is Kal-El's commentary on the human species.
Kal-El was born on the planet Krypton to Jor-El and Lara (Kryptonian women go by their first name once they're married). Krypton was on the brink of self-destruction, but Jor-El devised an escape rocket to take the young Kal-El to Earth. Kal-El is discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who adopt the baby and name him Clark -- Martha's maiden name.
Clark Kent grows up to be a journalist and works at the Daily Planet in the city of Metropolis (this was clever in the '30s). It is there that Clark falls in love with Lois Lane, a fellow journalist. The irony is that Lois Lane rejects Clark, but falls in love with Superman after being rescued by him time and time again.
The sun gives Kryptonians super powers when they're on Earth. This makes Superman (say it with me now) "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!" Superman also has the power of flight, x-ray vision, and heat vision. The only way to stop him is with Kryptonite, an element native to Krypton. This radioactive rock is what caused the destruction of Krypton. Kryponite weakens Superman's powers because his powers come from the Earth (the weaker gravity as compared to Krypton, and the Earth's sun), and Kryptonite is not of the Earth.
Not only was Superman the first successful superhero comic, in 1978 Superman became the first successful superhero movie of our time. The movie was the most expensive film ever made (up to that point) with a budget of $55 million, which equals roughly $209 million today. Christopher Reeve's acting and the production values were universally praised and for many fans, Reeve is the quintessential and most-beloved Superman.
The film also added the Superman mythology. The "S" on Superman's chest was revealed to be the coat of arms for the House of El on Krypton, as opposed to simply standing for "Superman." The seriousness with which the material was handled enchanted a generation, and garnered the film three Academy Award nominations.
The success of Superman spawned three sequels, with Superman IV: The Quest For Peace largely considered the worst. The poor direction, writing and special effects of Superman IV made major studios wary of another Superman film.
It wasn't until 2006, after the success of other superhero films, that Superman Returns, starring newcomer Brandon Routh in the lead role, was released. Check out the casting announcement that appeared in Teen Tribute (at right).
Superman Returns was intended to be a homage/sequel to the Christopher Reeve films of the '70s and '80s. Critics (and audiences) didn't hate Superman Returns -- it received a fairly decent 75 percent fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes -- but it didn't do as well at the box office as studio execs had hoped (even though it received an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects), and a planned sequel was scrapped.
Ironically, Routh went on to play another DC superhero -- Ray Palmer / The Atom -- on TV shows such as Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.
Superman was rebooted in the first film in the DC cinematic universe in 2013's Man of Steel. The film split critics and audiences right down the middle. Director Zack Snyder's decision to tell the story out of order; the rampant destruction of Metropolis; and Superman's controversial decision at the end of the film polarized moviegoers, but Man of Steel was still a box office success. Most audiences agreed that Henry Cavill was an ideal physical representation of Superman and that casting him had been a good choice.
Cavill reprised his role in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The returns at the box office made it a financial success, even if critics gave it negative reviews (it earned a rotten rating of 27 percent at Rotten Tomatoes, though audiences gave it 63 percent fresh).
Superman has gone through a lot of ups and downs, but his status as an American icon will always remain secure. The word "superman" is part of the American cultural lexicon. Superman was the first comic book superhero, and the first superhero on the big screen. People never forget their first loves.
Movie fans can see Superman in the upcoming Justice League when it hits theaters November 17, 2017.

I received notification from my brother (who is highly computer literate) that my photography and artwork could be taken off my blog without any difficulty at all. Since copyrights are so hard to protect and since I make a living from my art, I chose to remove certain pieces of my blog. I apologize to those of you who enjoyed viewing them. I will continue blogging, but may concentrate on more general topics. Please stick with me. I would like to hear whether you have had any similar difficulties and if there is a way to protect our copyrighted materials.

/connie...I have bought the add-on software: http://watermarkfactory.com/ as one step I can take to post photos and painting photos that will supposedly make it more difficult to pirate my paintings, etc. So far, so good! If I post a painting on my blog, it usually has the watermark on it, so hopefully that is a safe viewing. No guarantees with this, but it is the best I have found so far....SusanReplyDelete
