Graffiti Artist Rime Sues Jeremy Scott and Moschino Over Design Worn by Katy Perry
Graffiti artist Joseph Tierney, also known as Rime, sued the Italian designer Moschino and its creative director Jeremy Scott over their graffiti dress, which was, among others, worn by Katy Perry, famous American singer, songwriter and actress. Singer worn this dress in May, when she attended the Gala, a high-end party that was organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. As it was stated in the suit, not only that the singer and Jeremy Scott wore a problematically designed clothes, but also arrived in front of the Met in a spray painted Rolls Royce, carrying cans of fake spray paint, that were branded by Moschino – as if they have created the design of clothes and a Rolls Royce themselves.
Rime's Lawsuit Against Moschino and Jeremy Scott
Joseph Tierney, or Rime, says in his suit that he was invited to Detroit to create a large mural on a building by a property owner. Mural was named Vandal Eyes. But then, according to the suit, fashion designer Jeremy Scott, hired by Moschino in 2013, debuted for this house creating Fall/Winter 2015 fashion collection. And just then, on February 2015, this dress design was seen for the first time, when it was worn by a superstar model Gigi Hadid. According to Rime's suit, the design on this dress was literally a copy of images of his mural Vandal Eyes – mechanical copies obtained by using a high-resolution photography. But that was not all. Joseph Tierney – Rime – accused the designer and Jeremy Scott ("to add insult to injury") that they have forged his signature and his name "Rime" troughout all the collection. Joseph Tierney stated that the designer payed singer to advertise and display the clothing at the Gala, and because of the great publicity and popularity of the singer, the word has spread troughout the media and social networks, while the famous singer made it to the "worst dressed" lists of guests. Rime also quoted the Wall Street Journal and their report that says that Moschino had a 16 percent increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2015, which matches with the debut of a problematic dress design.
Other Recent Lawsuits
All in all, through seven claims, Joseph Tierney accused Moschino and Jeremy Scott – and not the singer – for unfair competition, invasion of Tierney's right of publicity, using his name without his consent, unlawfully and unjustly profiting, copyright infringement, injury to his business and reputation, and so on. However, disregarding this case, it appears that suits are common these days. Just take a look at this – street artists Revok, Reyes and Steel claimed that Just Cavalli introduced a collection with pieces such as clothing and accessories containing art derived from their mural (sounds familiar?). Then, Terry Gilliam was accused by street artists Jaz, Ever and Other, that he used their mural in a scene of his movie The Zero Theorem. Not to mention the bizarre case of Richard Prince and his (re)photographing… So, the other side – Moschino and Jeremy Scott did not have a comment on Joseph Tierney's claims, so far, and we are eagerly expecting next high-profile case that is inevitably coming.

Microsoft replacing MinecraftEDU with new education edition. A new education experience is coming to Minecraft Starting this summer, classrooms hooked on MinecraftEDU will be given the option of migrating to a new education-focused Minecraft title, recently announced by Microsoft who has acquired the rights to MinecraftEDU from Teacher Gaming, a Finnish company.
The rebranded title, called Minecraft: Education Edition, will launch as a free trial this summer, and all MinecraftEDU subscribers will receive a yearlong subscription to the new game (they can also continue to use MinecraftEDU). In the meantime, Microsoft is reworking and expanding the new education edition especially for classrooms. In a statement, Microsoft alluded to working on a "transition plan" with Teacher Gaming, but said that further details — including if and when MinecraftEDU would be absorbed into the new title — would be worked out in the coming months.

Kestrel Many educators acknowledge the learning potential of out-of-school literacies. Here, I'd like to discuss the merits of roleplaying games (RPGs). The genre is very broad with games such as Star Wars, Call of Cthulhu, Lord of the Rings, and Stargate SG-1 produced by a variety of companies. The oldest formal roleplaying game is Dungeons & Dragons® which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, in 2004. What is a Roleplaying Game?

Imagine you're playing a computer game that asks you to design a poster for the school fair. You're fiddling with fonts, changing background colors and deciding what activity to feature: Will a basketball toss appeal to more people than a pie bake-off? Then, animal characters — maybe a panda or an ostrich — offer feedback on your design. You can choose whether to hear a compliment or a complaint: "The words are overlapping too much," or, "I like that you put in the dates." You can use their critiques as guides to help you revise your poster. This little Web-based game isn't just a game.

Computers & Education - Reviewing the need for gaming in education to accommodate the net generation. The ABC's of ARGs: Alternate Reality Games for Learning. You're a wine salesperson and have just been assigned to a new territory—the Roots Hotel.
There are four potential customers within the hotel: a fine dining restaurant, a casual restaurant, a bar, and the hotel catering service. Each customer has different menus, clientele, price points, and of course, their own unique personalities and biases. You need to know your product portfolio inside and out and determine which of your wines would be best to position for each of these four customers. This may appear to be a typical challenge for a wine salesperson, and you'd be correct.

For some educators, computer games are serious business From eSchool News staff and wire service reports Read more by staff and wire services reports January 18th, 2007 Educators increasingly are using sophisticated computer games to snag and hold the interest of the "digital natives" in their classrooms, but some teachers have trouble accepting the educational value of making learning fun.
What Makes a Good Learning Game? After developing more than 30 learning games I can safely say that it is definitely not an easy task.
Developing good learning games requires constant attention to opposing factors, which only through creativity can truly be made to smoothly work together. Since the inception of computer games, there has been learning games. In the early years, games were used to demonstrate the potential benefits of computers. A Brief History Of Video Games In Education. While there has been a surge in the acceptance and prevalence of game-based learning in schools over the past decade, especially in light of the success of programs like Khan Academy, playing games in the classroom is nothing new.
Educational games have been a commonplace part of the K-12 experience since the beginning of the 1980s (and in some places well before that), with early titles introducing students to fundamental math, history, and problem solving concepts just as games do today. While the graphics may not have been great, the games helped to engage a generation of kids with technology and laid a solid foundation for the educational games that were to come. Things have changed a lot since then, but one thing has remained the same: the best educational games aren't just tools for teaching.

EUGENE Ore, -- University of Oregon (UO) graduate students will join thousands of other students in the National Walkout and Rallies Against Trump-GOP at Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Free Speech Plaza Tuesday.
UO graduate students said they are protesting the House of Representatives' proposal to eliminate a long-standing tax exemption for tuition waivers.
Organizers said the House proposal would dramatically increase taxable income for grad workers, undermine the quality and competitiveness of American graduate programs, and make graduate school unaffordable.
The House passed the tax reform bill on November 17th, 2017.
The president of the Graduate Teaching Fellow Federation said most of the students work 40 to 80 hours a week.
UO graduate student Nicholas Hadley said this tax bill could force many of them to take out more loans or force them to reconsider their graduate education.
"One of my biggest concerns is they may not realize the effects of this long term. For many graduate students, this could mean the end of their education," Hadley said. "And this could be graduate students working in the medical field, technology, research, and biology."
Not everyone at UO agrees with the walk out. UO College Republican sophomore George Eccarius said he supports the bill.
"I think that people always act out of self-interest, especially in politics. So, of course, some college students and graduate students are going to be upset, but you have to weigh the pros and cons here," Eccarius said. "I think that this bill is going to be extremely beneficial for young people, for recent graduates, and those entering the job market."

-By Sarah S.
Most places I've worked the manager has spent more time in meetings, reading financial statements, motivating people to sell more, and looking at the bottom line. In Jeffrey Pfeffer's article The Real Keys to High Performance, he address's this conventional wisdom that managers/leaders should be focusing on making strategy, seeking some technological edge, and worrying about the financial engineering, mergers and acquisitions and restructuring. Instead Pfeffer suggests organizational success comes from managing people effectively than anything else.
Pfeffer says that there are three guiding principles that leaders should use to change their organizations focus to developing and apply employee's knowledge and competences. First, building trust by treating all people as though they can be trusted. Whole Foods, shares its performance information with everyone. According to Pfeffer, knowledge is power, and sharing information about the organization in turn shares power.
Second, leaders/managers need to encourage change by exposing their people to alternative models of management. Southwest Airlines and Men's Wearhouse are perfect examples of how some companies are changing how they treat their people and their business. Pfeffer says doing things that break the old ways of organizing such as putting people in new roles to help break people's old habits and assumptions. This similar thinking of course reappeared a year later with First, Break all the Rules by Marcus Buckingham. In comparison, Buckingham zooms in more on developing people and bringing out their talents, Pfeffer's article focuses much more on the boarder since of the organization as a whole.
Last, leaders/managers need to make sure to measure the practices that constitute high-commitment management. Most of the time management focuses on what has happened, but not on the organization's present performance. According to Pfeffer, if people are the most important asset, then retention and development should get as much attention as the financial statement.
The main take away from this article is that people are our most important asset. With that being said, to achieve profits through people requires time and attention from leaders/managers. My overall assessment is that this can be done, and more and more organizations are getting it done. The problem is that there are still a lot of conventional wisdom thinkers out there. These are the cavemen that invented the wheel and commonly says "Well now, let's not reinvent the wheel" when their conventional wisdom is challenged. When it comes down to it giving time and attention to your people can be compared to the time and attention that parents give to their babies. In other countries the organizational system is set up for parents to be able to take time off in the event of a child. Most European countries give up to 3 months paid time in the event of a child and over half of those countries allow the male the same about of time in order to be with the child and offer support. US was ranked one of the lowest countries to provide flexibility with regard to sick leave, event of a child, or allowed vacation. The next generation coming up in US is demanding more flexibility in their careers and the job market is going to have to find a way to deliver. My point is that until our organizational system changes and sets a new standard for what is important, the cavemen thinking will still exist. And yes we do need to reinvent the wheel, more organizations need to start hiring leaders/managers that make decisions about recruiting, motivating and developing people rather than about strategy, financial engineering and restructuring.

There are many definitions to define and explain what executive office furniture actually is but in simple words, it's the furniture that is made for high profile employees i.e. managers, directors and CEOs in the office. As compared to traditional or common furniture, executive office furniture is more expensive and stylish. Here we are going to enlist some tips for you if you want to choose executive office furniture for your office space.
Tips to select executive office furniture:
1. Always explore your options:
Although this role implies here but you should take care of this factor before buying anything in the routine life that you shouldn't agree to the first thing that you see but you should explore more options. This way, you will have better chances that you will select the best available options and there would be no regrets after purchasing something and then finding something better than that. Executive office furniture is very expensive and that makes it more crucial that you first come up with the options and then choose wisely.
2. It's better to choose different:
There are very few offices that have only one executive office in the office building but usually there are more cabins or offices for number of executives in the company. This way, you can choose different options for each of these offices. Many people prefer to have the same furniture and decorations in all the offices but when you can change the color scheme in each office, why can't you change the furniture. For example, if one executive office has large sofa, it doesn't mean that the sofa will fit in every office so you should choose a different size.
3. Stay inside your budget:
You know that executive office furniture is way expensive and luxurious as compared to traditional or common office furniture, you should find out the money that you are allowed to spend on the furniture and then you can choose better. It will be better if you start with one office if there are several rooms that require furniture and when you complete one room, you can move on to the next one.
4. Choose durability and quality over style and design:
Yes it sounds like a dumb idea that you want to choose an ugly looking sofa which is more durable than a perfect looking couch but believe that you will realize this factor a while after purchasing the furniture. The reason to discuss this here is that executive office furniture is supposed to look nice, provide comfort and luxury but it doesn't need to be something that is not durable and you will need to change it every six months. You can certainly choose something simple but only if it's durable and strong enough to survive for years.
Never stuff the room with more than enough furniture units:
When decorating an executive office, you should always choose fewer units. It's never a good idea to fill up all the room as it looks less comfortable and more stressing when you are required to spend 7-8 hours on regular basis. For spend that long duration in an office, you need some empty space too to walk around and reach all the corners.

Improving behavioral health and wellness is a process, not a one-time event. As you learn new ways to cope, you may be challenged by life's changes in ways that feel overwhelming or threatening to your healing.
If that happens, Munson Healthcare's Partial Hospitalization Program can help. It can offer you an extra level of service that supports your recovery without disrupting your daily life.
Partial hospitalization offers access to a safe, structured treatment environment for adults who need more intensive therapy than they would typically receive in a traditional outpatient program.
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Traverse City lets individuals who are not a danger to themselves or others stay connected to their routines, loved ones, and community — all while offering the safety and support needed to manage behavioral health issues. It's best suited for people whose needs don't require inpatient or residential services, or for those who are ready to transition from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization or crisis intervention to a more independent lifestyle.
Our short-term, intensive outpatient day program is held five days a week from 9 am to 3 pm. Treatment is usually from one to three weeks, depending on progress.
Participants experience thorough and comprehensive care from our team of psychiatrists, nurses, and therapists. The program's supportive group format reduces feelings of isolation and hopelessness as individuals discover that they're not alone in their struggle for behavioral health and well-being.
Program features include:
For more information about our Partial Hospitalization Program, call us at 231-935-6880 weekdays from 8 am to 3 pm. You can leave a confidential voice mail after-hours, and we will return your call the next business day.
Healthcare professionals interested in making a referral may reach a clinician by calling 231-935-6880.

My love for the Museum of Discovery and Science started when I was 5 years old. I had my birthday party at the museum's original iteration, the Discovery Center, and it was so memorable that my childhood friends still talk about it. I'll never forget being surrounded by wild animals or getting the chance to carry a giant snake.
In 1977, the Junior League of Fort Lauderdale founded the Discovery Center, a hands-on museum housed in the historic New River Inn building. By the early '90s, the popularity of the Discovery Center prompted the institution to move into a larger location. Thus, on November 21, 1992, the Museum of Discovery and Science opened at 401 SW Second Street. The iconic Great Gravity Clock—a kinetic energy sculpture—debuted in the museum's courtyard one year later. Since then, the museum has become a landmark in South Florida, known for family-friendly attractions, such as the 300-seat AutoNation IMAX 3D Theater and the Powerful You! exhibit.
My family officially became part of the museum's community when my father, Patrick Flynn, was named its executive vice president of development 15 years after my fifth birthday party. Learning about the museum from him and meeting the amazing individuals who work there only strengthened my respect and love for the facility. My father, along with his development team and the board of trustees, raised $25 million for the EcoDiscovery Center, a 34,000-square-foot wing that doubled the size of the museum when it opened in 2011.
Now, 25 years after moving to its current location, the Museum of Discovery and Science continues to grow. The museum is constructing a 27,000-square-foot outdoor science park—complete with physics and engineering activities—which is scheduled to open in the spring. In addition to stressing STEM initiatives, the museum has maintained a steadfast focus on providing programs that inspire lifelong learning in science for children and adults.
Perhaps Kim Cavendish, who will step down as president of the Museum of Discovery and Science in January, puts it best: "To me, the museum is certainly more than a building; it's a collection of people, energy, programs and exhibits that serve the community." If that's the case, our community would be proud to have the Museum of Discovery and Science serve it for another 25 years.

BBCRadio4 announces that NEW WAYS OF SEEING, a series about digital art and our present condition, starts this Wednesday April 17. How is technology changing the way we see? The artist and DAI's COOP 2018-2019 tutor James Bridle reimagines John Berger's Ways of Seeing for the digital age and asks if we can make machines without prejudice.
"The way we see things is affected by what we know, or what we believe" – John Berger.
In 1972, Berger's seminal TV series and book changed perceptions of art and set out to reveal the language of images.
Of course, that was before the internet, smartphones, and social media took hold.
How do we see the world around us now? And, who are the artists urging us to look more closely?
James Bridle writes about the development of technology on our lives. His work has been exhibited at the V&A, the Barbican, in galleries worldwide, and online. In this series of four programmes, he updates Berger's Ways of Seeing, inviting contemporary artists to explore how the technology we use every day has transformed the ways in which we see and are seen.
Invisible Networks - April 17
Machine Visions - April 24
Digital Justice - May 1

Image: bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx
We recently moved from imx-linux-rocko to imx-linux-sumo and noticed that mfgtool no longer works correctly for us on Windows (HAB mismatch). We then decided to build the latest version from the sources here:
GitHub - NXPmicro/mfgtools: Freescale/NXP I.MX Chip image deploy tools.
on an Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS system.
We then used the uuu.auto script here (Burn bootloader to eMMC boot partition):
Sample script · NXPmicro/mfgtools Wiki · GitHub
./uuu ./uuu.auto
This was also run on the Ubuntu machine.
It looks like the first step (SDP: boot -f _flash.bin) completed successfully. Looking at the serial output, it just seems to sit there and keep waiting for something.
We then decided to try using the rocko uboot image with the sumo kernel with the Mfgtool on Windows and that got us a little further.
Has anyone had success with flashing a imx-linux-sumo based image onto a imx8mqevk platform? If so, could you please share your uuu script?

"We work with groups of mothers who do the finishing, knitting workshops, and young professionals… to combine textures, fine finishing created by hand, and the softness of alpaca wool."
"After finishing school, my first job was in a small workshop that knitted alpaca sweaters. I was so impressed by the skills of the people who could knit, by the ability of the women who did the finishing touches, and I discovered a new focus for my career. I met Jenny Randall, an English designer who got me started in the different techniques for developing a design.
"Sometime later, I felt the need to work to be able to show the world all the possibilities that our country offers through its fibers, of its culture and millenary textile art.
"I worked for a while in one of the principle textile firms of Arequipa, but this wasn't exactly what I wanted to do. So I decided to start out on my own adventure.
"Conceptos has been in existence since 2000. It has been a process of learning, of consciousness, of encounter and, above all, of development – as much for myself as for my extraordinary team. We work with groups of mothers who do the finishing, with knitting workshops, and young professional technicians. It is through this combination that we are able to combine textures, fine finishing touches created by hand, and the softness of alpaca wool to craft modern women's apparel that is elegant and that reflects our concept of the world.
"The work that I do has become a personal project. My main motivation is that what began as only an idea has taken form and becomes more real every day. This excites me and impels me to move ahead.
"The greatest challenge in my life has been to combine my professional life with family life, to stretch time enough to be able to work with joy, to sit and talk with my husband Vladimir, and to share, teach, pamper and play with our children, Nicolás y Daniela.
"I first heard of Novica ten years ago and, since then, I have admired their vision as they join artists and collectors into a global community. I am very happy to be a part of this grand showcase and offer Novica shoppers modern styles to accompany them always."

A choir director at Lee High School, Tyler Henderson, was surprised by his students with special glasses on Friday, so he can now see some colors after years of being color blind.
The students created a GoFundMe, where they raised around $100 for the glasses in about two weeks. Henderson said he was overcome with emotion and had no idea the students were pulling this off for him.
The students are working on a performance of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." The students thought it's the perfect time to give him the glasses, so he can see the colors on the coat when they perform at a state competition later this month.
"To give him something that he gave us, which is knowledge, and to give him something back, it was a great experience," Alexus Burton, a Lee High School student, said.
The students used colored balloons, and they posted the surprise video to Facebook saying, "You helped us see our colors, now we're helping you see yours."
Henderson is a Lee High School alumnus.
"This is an amazing gift to me, because this is something I can physically hold in my hand. Anytime something gets difficult, or something gets stressful, or we're working hard late into the evening, I'm going to hold onto that. I'm gonna hold onto that day," Henderson said.

I don't have a car. Can I still volunteer?
Yes! We always have other students coming from Irvine, so we do carpool together.
Although I live on campus during the school year, I go home (outside OC/Irvine area) during the holidays and spring/summer break. Can I still volunteer?
Yes! We have quarterly requirements that occur over the 11 week period (10 weeks of classes + 1 week of finals). You just have to complete the requirements within the time frame.

The requirements are 3 shifts at the clinic and committee requirements. The committee requirements are based on the committee leaders. Learn more about each committee at the Our Committees page.

Unfortunately, no. However, we open our application almost every quarter. The application is typically open starting at the beginning of week 1 and is due the Saturday of week 2.
How many applicants do you typically accept into SHIP?
The number of acceptances are typically based on how many people we need at the clinic and the application pool. We do have a limit in the number of people that we can accept because our clinic is fairly small.

This past weekend, a team of Stanford students put together by the Applied Cybersecurity student group resisted persistent hackers for two and a half hours--and are coming back for more. The students were taking part in the WRCCDC Invitational (Western Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition - http://www.wrccdc.org) and were "guardedly pleased" to have withstood the relentless Red Team offensive pressure until 1PM (2.5 hours after the start); the team received a 2nd place tie in the "Business Operations" category, and are moving forward in the competition.
Stanford's team includes: Albert Liang, Arthur Tsang, Brad Girardeau, Paul Crews, Kate Stowell, Mike Precup, Nick Hershey, Priyanka Sekhar, and Travis Lanham. John Gerth (Stanford CS/EE staff security lead) and Alex Keller (Systems Admin and Security Lead, Stanford School of Engineering) provided coaching and logistical support. Congratulations to the team!

- 390g tub Nature's Finest Mandarin in juice
- 3 eggs
- 1 orange
- 120g maple syrup
- 250g ground almonds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp orange blossom water
- Heat the oven to 170°C / 150°C fan. Line the base of an 8" round cake tin with baking parchment, and grease the sides with a little oil. If possible, use either a springform or loose bottomed cake tin.
- Drain the mandarin segments; you will have around 240g of fruit. Blend the fruit in a food processor. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on high for 4-5 minutes, until they are pale, thick and creamy and have doubled in volume.
- Quickly whisk in the mandarin purée and 100g of the maple syrup. Add the zest of the orange, ground almonds, baking powder and salt, and fold until just combined.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Place in the centre of the oven, and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the surface has risen, is a deep golden colour and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in it's tin for 15-20 minutes, before carefully turning out.
- While the cake is cooling, make the syrup. Juice the orange, then place this in a pan with the remaining 20g of maple syrup. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat, and allow the liquid to reduce by two thirds until it is thick and syrupy. Add the orange blossom water.
- Prick the surface of the cake all over with a fork, then brush the syrup over the surface.
