D’Angelo Russell Out At Least Two Weeks With Thumb Injury
by Austin KentThe Golden State Warriors have been dealt yet another blow as the organization reveals that D’Angelo Russell will miss at least two weeks after suffering a sprained thumb.
The 23-year-old has injured the right thumb just weeks after returning to the court following an ankle sprain. In the ten games that he has played so far this season, Russell has averaged 24.3 points and 6.7 assists per game.
Russell injured the thumb during their Friday night game against the Boston Celtics and an MRI revealed the sprain. Russell won’t travel with the team on their upcoming road trip.


These instructions are provided as-is. They worked at a point in time; other variants of software may work. These instructions may become stale if the build dependencies change.
They have been shown to work on 19th of December 2016.
To build, run tests, and debug Apache Atlas, the following software is required:
Java
Atlas command line tools are written in Python.
Some of the Atlas source code is written in the Scala programming language. The Scala IDE feature is required to compile Scala source code in Eclipse.
Atlas tests use the TestNG framework, which is similar to JUnit. The TestNG plug-in is required to run TestNG tests from Eclipse.
a. File - Import - Maven - Existing Maven Projects b. Browse to your Atlas folder c. Uncheck the root project and non-Java projects such as dashboardv2, docs and distro, then click Finish
On the Mac, the Maven import fails with message
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Maven Integration for AJDT (Optional) <IP_ADDRESS>506231302 (org.maven.ide.eclipse.ajdt.feature.feature.group <IP_ADDRESS>506231302) Missing requirement: Maven Integration for AJDT (Optional) <IP_ADDRESS>506231302 (org.maven.ide.eclipse.ajdt.feature.feature.group <IP_ADDRESS>506231302) requires 'org.eclipse.ajdt.core 1.5.0' but it could not be found".
Install http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/46/dev/update and rerun. The Maven AspectJ should plugin install - allowing the references to Aspects in Maven to be resolved.
d. In the atlas-typesystem, atlas-repository, hdfs-model, and storm-bridge projects, add the src/main/scala and src/test/scala (if available) directories as source folders. Note: the hdfs-model and storm-bridge projects do not have the src/test/scala folder.
Right-click on the project, and choose Properties.
Click the Java Build Path in the left-hand panel, and choose the Source tab.
Click Add Folder, and select the src/main/scala and src/test/scala directories.
Only the atlas-repository and atlas-type system projects have Scala source folders to update.
e. Select atlas-typesystem, atlas-repository, hdfs-model, and storm-bridge projects, right-click, go to the Scala menu, and choose ‘Set the Scala Installation’.
f. Choose Fixed Scala Installation: 2.11.8 (bundled) , and click OK.
g. Restart Eclipse
h. Choose Project - Clean, select Clean all projects, and click OK.
Some projects may not pick up the Scala library – if this occurs, quick fix on those projects to add in the Scala library – projects atlas-typesystem, atlas-repository, hdfs-model, storm-bridge and altas-webapp.
You should now have a clean workspace.

OCTOBER SKY (PG). (Universal/UIP) Director: Joe Johnston Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Chris Owen, Laura Dern, William Lee Scott, Chad Lindberg, Chris Ellis.
A beautifully wrought, touching and sensitive coming of age tale set in small town America in 1957, October Sky is one of the most satisfying and enjoyable films of this year.
This inspiring film is based on the true story of Homer Hickham (played with great insight and charm by Jake Gyllenhaal, from Homegrown, City Slickers, etc), who eventually became a NASA engineer. Homer grew up in Coalwood, West Virginia, a company town centred around the coal mining industry. Like his father, and most of his friends, Homer seems destined to a life working in the pits. It seems that the only way to break out of this grim, preordained cycle is to win a football scholarship to an out of town college. Until the Russians launch Sputnik, the first manned space rocket. As Homer watches the space craft race across the night time sky, he is inspired to become a rocket scientist.
With three school friends, including his best friends Roy Lee (William Lee Scott) and O'Dell (Chad Lindberg) and the school geek Quentin (Chris Owen, from American Pie), Homer begins experimenting with rockets. Most people in town view this fool hardy activity with scepticism, especially Homer's dad John (Chris Cooper, from Lone Star, etc), the foreman of the mine. Only his sympathetic teacher Miss Riley (Laura Dern) encourages Homer in his pursuit.
The beautifully written script from Lewis Colick draws a symbolic contrast between Homer, who is looking forward to the future, and his strong-willed father, who is still stuck in the past. John is angered by Homer's decision to seek a life beyond the mines, and the tense conflict between the pair threatens to tear the family apart. The superb performances of Gyllenhaal and Cooper bring a solid emotional punch to this estranged relationship.
October Sky is all about following your dream, and remaining true to that ideal no matter what obstacles are put in the way. The film's affirmative and inspiring message is backed up by some positive values, strong writing, and wonderful performances from a solid cast. Director Joe Johnston (Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Jumanji, etc) eschews the special effects and technical gimmickry of his previous films in favour of some solid emotional and human drama.
If October Sky's finale doesn't leave you misty eyed then you've got no heart or soul. ****1/2 greg king http://www.netau.com.au/gregking

Import data from Excel into MySQL using Python
I just finished a basic Python script for a client that I’d like to share with you. He needed an easy means of moving data back and forth between MySQL and Excel, and sometimes he needed to do a bit of manipulation between along the way. In the past I may have relied solely on VBA for this, but I have found it to be much easier with Python. In this post and the accompanying video, I show just part of the project - importing data from Excel into MySQL via Python. Let’s get started.
Be sure to check out the accompanying video!
Download the dependencies
Assuming you have Python installed (I’m using version 2.7), download and install the xlrd library and MySQLdb module-
Develop the script
Then tailor the following script to fit your needs:
import xlrd
import MySQLdb
# Open the workbook and define the worksheet
book = xlrd.open_workbook("pytest.xls")
sheet = book.sheet_by_name("source")
# Establish a MySQL connection
database = MySQLdb.connect (host="localhost", user = "root", passwd = "", db = "mysqlPython")
# Get the cursor, which is used to traverse the database, line by line
cursor = database.cursor()
# Create the INSERT INTO sql query
query = """INSERT INTO orders (product, customer_type, rep, date, actual, expected, open_opportunities, closed_opportunities, city, state, zip, population, region) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)"""
# Create a For loop to iterate through each row in the XLS file, starting at row 2 to skip the headers
for r in range(1, sheet.nrows):
product = sheet.cell(r,).value
customer = sheet.cell(r,1).value
rep = sheet.cell(r,2).value
date = sheet.cell(r,3).value
actual = sheet.cell(r,4).value
expected = sheet.cell(r,5).value
open = sheet.cell(r,6).value
closed = sheet.cell(r,7).value
city = sheet.cell(r,8).value
state = sheet.cell(r,9).value
zip = sheet.cell(r,10).value
pop = sheet.cell(r,11).value
region = sheet.cell(r,12).value
# Assign values from each row
values = (product, customer, rep, date, actual, expected, open, closed, city, state, zip, pop, region)
# Execute sql Query
cursor.execute(query, values)
# Close the cursor
cursor.close()
# Commit the transaction
database.commit()
# Close the database connection
database.close()
# Print results
print ""
print "All Done! Bye, for now."
print ""
columns = str(sheet.ncols)
rows = str(sheet.nrows)
print "I just imported " %2B columns %2B " columns and " %2B rows %2B " rows to MySQL!"
Hope this is useful. More to come!

I just found out about the Leanprover Zulip chat. I have a bit of experience with the Lean prover, going through the official "theorem proving with Lean" tutorial. I have some basic questions about how to formalize math in Lean, and I'm wondering where I should ask them: Should I create a new topic for a question? Should I do so in the "new members" stream? (I have not used Zulip before, and I don't know the best practices).
Welcome! Yes, feel free to create new topics for your questions in the "new members" stream.

Input from Prolog streams that have opened
the user's terminal for reading is echoed back as output to the same
terminal.
This is interleaved with output from other
Prolog streams that have opened the user's terminal for writing.
Therefore, all streams connected to the user's terminal share
the same set of position
counts and thus return the same values for each of the
predicates
character_count/2
, line_count/2
and
line_position/2

Volkswagen's ID Space Vizzion is a high-tech, apple-flavored wagon concept
It previews a potential production car for the American market
by Ronan GlonVolkswagen introduced the newest addition to its ID-badged family of concept cars at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. Named ID Space Vizzion, the seventh member of the line shares its modular MEB architecture with the firm's other electric vehicles, including the ID.3 already in production.
The ID Space Vizzion is a design exercise that shows how stylists can apply new ways of thinking when designing a battery-powered vehicle. An electric motor is smaller than a comparable four-cylinder engine, so designers were able to give the concept a low hood that's relatively short. To us, this sleek wagon's front end design is almost eighth-generation Golf-like; it's quite a looker.
The exterior door handles remained in the parts bin to help Volkswagen achieve a sleek 0.24 drag coefficient, so the firm developed a function named Keyless Advanced which summons back-lit touchpads integrated into each door when it senses someone holding the key is approaching the car. It recognizes the key fob, which isn't unusual by any means, but it can also detect the presence of a smartphone programmed with a synchronized mobile key. Opening the doors (or the hatch, for that matter) is as simple as briefly making contact with the touchpad.
Once inside, the driver faces a small digital instrument cluster, but relies on an augmented reality head-up display to see key information about the car and its surroundings, like navigation directions and how much electricity is left in the battery pack. The dashboard is dominated by 15.6-inch touchscreen mounted in the middle of the dashboard like a flat-screen television attached to a wall.
Leather is increasingly becoming taboo in the concept car world, so Volkswagen developed a material named AppleSkin that is partly made with the scraps left over from the process of making apple juice. Apple residue replaced about 20 percent of the concept's interior plastics.
The ID Space Vizzion has a near-50:50 weight distribution, and it was developed to deliver engaging handing. The model displayed in Los Angeles is powered by a 275-horsepower electric motor mounted right over the rear axle, but Volkswagen noted making it all-wheel drive is as simple as adding a second electric motor that spins the front wheels. Equipped with through-the-road 4Motion, the design study would take 5 seconds to reach 60 mph from a stop and a top speed of 109 mph. The 82-kWh lithium-ion battery pack stores enough electricity for about 300 miles of driving range.
Volkswagen has already started the process of turning its ID concepts into production models. The Golf-sized ID.3 hatchback made its global debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, and it entered production in November 2019. It won't be sold in the United States, but a follow-up model called ID.4 will arrive in early 2020, and it will roll out of the company's Chattanooga, Tennessee, factory by 2022. And, the retrolicious ID Buzz concept remains earmarked for a 2022 introduction.
Will the ID Space Vizzion see the light at the end of a production line? It's possible, according to the Wolfsburg-based firm, with 2022 mentioned as a possibility for Europe and North America.

Ruby on Rails • React • Twitter API • Indico API
Snag was built at Hack the 6ix in late August 2016 in a team of 3. We all came from very diverse backgrounds: a graduated chemical engineer, a student studying chemical engineering and myself, a biomedical science student. We met at Bitmaker, a coding bootcamp program for people who wanted to transition into a technical career and decided to go to this hackathon as our program was ending to apply everything we learned.
We used a React front end and a Rails backend to build out a chrome extension tool that produced a feed of potential customers for the marketing team to reach out to. We narrowed our scope to find users that struggled with personal finance for the Wealthsimple challenge at the hackathon.
We retrieved tweets using the Twitter API and ran them through the Indico emotion APIs to determine which users were in need of financial help. We packed this feed into a chrome extension to simplify usage for marketing teams to use as a targeted advertising tool. I worked mainly on retrieving the tweets and running them through the Indico APIs for analyzing the topic, tone, and sentiment of the tweet.

This package handles sending system events.
Events can have multiple notifications, in which case, when the event is sent,
each notification will be processed by an appropriate event handler.
Notification classes need to be associated with a notification handler:
eventService.registerNotificationHandler(EmailNotification.class,(NotificationHandler) context.getBean("emailNotificationHandler"));
A simple EmailNotification implementation is provided.
Emails can be templated by example:
EmailNotification processingFailedExampleEmail = new EmailNotification();
processingFailedExampleEmail.setSubject("Processing file failed");
processingFailedExampleEmail.addTo("admin@javathinking.com");
processingFailedExampleEmail.setFrom("paul@javathinking.com");
emailNotificationFactory.addType(PROC_FAILED_EMAIL, processingFailedExampleEmail);
When ready to send an EmailNotification, a copy of the template can be produced via
the notification factory, and then specific properties can be set before sending:
Event event = new Event(getName(), "Processing Successful", getDiscriminator());
EmailNotification notification = emailNotificationFactory.get(Example1.PROC_SUCCESS_EMAIL);
notification.setContent("Processing successful for files in "+dir+SystemUtils.LINE_SEPARATOR);
event.addNotification(notification);
eventService.send(event);

The percent change statistic reported for all elements in each API is defined recursively as follows:
Percentage difference = 100 * (added + removed + 2*changed) ----------------------------------- sum of public elements in BOTH APIsWhereadded
is the number of packages added,removed
is the number of packages removed, andchanged
is the number of packages changed. This definition is applied recursively for the classes and their program elements, so the value for a changed package will be less than 1, unless every class in that package has changed. The definition ensures that if all packages are removed and all new packages are added, the change will be 100%. Values are rounded here, so a value of 0% indicates a percentage difference of less than 0.5%.The overall difference between the two APIs is approximately 3%.

The numbers of program elements (packages, classes. constructors, methods and fields) which are recorded as removed, added or changed includes only the highest-level program elements. That is, if a class with two methods was added, the number of methods added does not include those two methods, but the number of classes added does include that class.

When we consider a C++ program, it can be defined as a collection of objects that communicate via invoking each other's methods. Let us now briefly look into what do class, object, methods and Instance variables mean.
Object − Objects have Properties and Behaviors. Example: A dog has Properties - color, name, breed as well as Behaviors - wagging, barking, eating. An object is an instance of a class.
Class − A class can be defined as a template/blueprint that describes the behaviors/states that object of its type support.
Methods − A method is basically a behavior. A class can contain many methods. It is in methods where the logics are written, data is manipulated and all the actions are executed.
Instance Variables − Each object has its unique set of instance variables. An object's state is created by the values assigned to these instance variables.
Let us look at a simple code that would print the words Hello World.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; // main() is where program execution begins. int main() { cout << "Hello World"; // prints Hello World return 0; }
Let us look various parts of the above program:
The C++ language defines several headers, which contain information that is either necessary or useful to your program. For this program, the header <iostream> is needed.
The line using namespace std; tells the compiler to use the std namespace. Namespaces are a relatively recent addition to C++.
The next line // main() is where program execution begins. is a single-line comment available in C++. Single-line comments begin with // and stop at the end of the line.
The line int main() is the main function where program execution begins.
The next line cout << "This is my first C++ program."; causes the message "This is my first C++ program" to be displayed on the screen.
The next line return 0; terminates main( )function and causes it to return the value 0 to the calling process.
Let's look at how to save the file, compile and run the program. Please follow the steps given below:
Open a text editor and add the code as above.
Save the file as: hello.cpp
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you saved the file.
Type 'g++ hello.cpp ' and press enter to compile your code. If there are no errors in your code the command prompt will take you to the next line and would generate a.out executable file.
Now, type ' a.out' to run your program.
You will be able to see ' Hello World ' printed on the window.
$ g++ hello.cpp $ ./a.out Hello World
Make sure that g++ is in your path and that you are running it in the directory containing file hello.cpp.
You can compile C/C++ programs using makefile. For more details, you can check Makefile Tutorial.
In C++, the semicolon is a statement terminator. That is, each individual statement must be ended with a semicolon. It indicates the end of one logical entity.
For example, following are three different statements −
x = y; y = y+1; add(x, y);
A block is a set of logically connected statements that are surrounded by opening and closing braces. For example:
{ cout << "Hello World"; // prints Hello World return 0; }
C++ does not recognize the end of the line as a terminator. For this reason, it does not matter where on a line you put a statement. For example:
x = y; y = y+1; add(x, y);
is the same as
x = y; y = y+1; add(x, y);
A C++ identifier is a name used to identify a variable, function, class, module, or any other user-defined item. An identifier starts with a letter A to Z or a to z or an underscore (_) followed by zero or more letters, underscores, and digits (0 to 9).
C++ does not allow punctuation characters such as @, $, and % within identifiers. C++ is a case-sensitive programming language. Thus, Manpower and manpower are two different identifiers in C++.
Here are some examples of acceptable identifiers −
mohd zara abc move_name a_123 myname50 _temp j a23b9 retVal
The following list shows the reserved words in C++. These reserved words may not be used as constant or variable or any other identifier names.
| asm | else | new | this |
| auto | enum | operator | throw |
| bool | explicit | private | true |
| break | export | protected | try |
| case | extern | public | typedef |
| catch | false | register | typeid |
| char | float | reinterpret_cast | typename |
| class | for | return | union |
| const | friend | short | unsigned |
| const_cast | goto | signed | using |
| continue | if | sizeof | virtual |
| default | inline | static | void |
| delete | int | static_cast | volatile |
| do | long | struct | wchar_t |
| double | mutable | switch | while |
| dynamic_cast | namespace | template |
A few characters have an alternative representation, called a trigraph sequence. A trigraph is a three-character sequence that represents a single character and the sequence always starts with two question marks.
Trigraphs are expanded anywhere they appear, including within string literals and character literals, in comments, and in preprocessor directives.
Following are most frequently used trigraph sequences −
| Trigraph | Replacement |
|---|---|
| ??= | # |
| ??/ | \ |
| ??' | ^ |
| ??( | [ |
| ??) | ] |
| ??! | | |
| ??< | { |
| ??> | } |
| ??- | ~ |
All the compilers do not support trigraphs and they are not advised to be used because of their confusing nature.
A line containing only whitespace, possibly with a comment, is known as a blank line, and C++ compiler totally ignores it.
Whitespace is the term used in C++ to describe blanks, tabs, newline characters and comments. Whitespace separates one part of a statement from another and enables the compiler to identify where one element in a statement, such as int, ends and the next element begins. Therefore, in the statement,
int age;
there must be at least one whitespace character (usually a space) between int and age for the compiler to be able to distinguish them. On the other hand, in the statement
fruit = apples + oranges; // Get the total fruit
no whitespace characters are necessary between fruit and =, or between = and apples, although you are free to include some if you wish for readability purpose.


TED is a non-profit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at ted.com
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection.

Professor Matthias Klaes, Dean of the School of Business at the University of Dundee.
Matthias Klaes is Professor of History and Philosophy of Economics. He studied electrical engineering, economics and management at the Universities of Darmstadt, Paris and Edinburgh. Much of his research has looked at the historical, methodological and philosophical aspects of economics and related business disciplines. Prior to joining Dundee in 2013, he held the Chair in Commerce at Keele University (since 2005). He has also worked at the Institute for Philosophy and Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and as a lecturer and then reader at the Universities of Keele and Stirling.

He is active in a number of learned societies, served as managing editor of the Journal of Economic Methodology for five years, and his leading textbook on Behavioral Economics (with Nick Wilkinson) is currently going into its third edition.
In our lives, we take much of our daily interaction for granted. This is as much true of our business transactions as it is true of other areas. My aim is to make us pause for a bit in order to allow us to approach what seems familiar with fresh eyes, and to reflect on the insights that can be gained this way on why the world of commerce demands of us our morality as human beings in the first instance, and prior to any consideration of economic rationality or hard-nosed business sense.

Professor Emanuele Trucco, NRP Chair of Computational Vision and VAMPIRE project director.
Emanuele Trucco, MSc, PhD, FRSA, is the NRP Chair of Computational Vision in the School of Computing, University of Dundee, and an Honorary Clinical Researcher at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School. His 30-year research has covered applications of computer vision to manufacturing, subsea robotics, immersive videoconferencing, and medical image analysis, funded by UK research councils, EU programmes, charities (e.g. the Royal Society, the Leverhulme Trust) and industry (incl. continuous funding from OPTOS plc since 2002). Current medical image analysis research includes vision for robotic hydrocolonoscopy (EU ERC "CODIR"), the analysis of whole-body MR angiographic data (with Toshiba Edinburgh), and the VAMPIRE initiative (Vessel Assessment and Measurement Platform for images of the REtina), an international collaboration of 10 image processing and clinical centres which he co-leads with Dr Tom MacGillivray of the Clinical Research Imaging Centre, University of Edinburgh. VAMPIRE has been growing a software suite for efficient, semi-automatic analysis of retinal images (vasculature quantification, lesions), in use for retinal biomarker studies on, among others, cardiovascular risk, stroke, cognitive performance, neurodegenerative diseases, dementia, and genetics. VAMPIRE was the first automatic system ever applied to UK Biobank retinal images. Emanuele has published more than 160 refereed papers and co-authored two textbooks, one of which ("Introductory techniques for 3-D computer vision", with Prof Alessandro Verri of the University of Genova, Italy) has become an international standard (2,516 citations, Google Scholar March 2014).
I firmly believe that research has at least two key dimensions. One is the technical challenge of advancing knowledge; discovering new facts about the world, introducing new technologies, and how all this can be used to benefit society. The other is the human dimension of research: the fact that research is carried out by people, who bring great richness to a group as individuals, with their histories, their experiences and their personalities. A group of people is so much more than their technical skills, however excellent. I am fascinated by this dimension of research, and strive to make my own research group not only a success in terms of publications, grants and awards, but also a community in which individuals learn to share, laugh and flourish as scientists and as persons. I hope to be able to put across this message as inspiringly as possible!
Dr Josie Booth, Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Dundee.
Josie Booth is a Chartered Psychologist and Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Dundee. Josie was awarded her PhD in Psychology from the University of Strathclyde and following this, was employed as a postdoctoral researcher within the Physical Activity for Health group. Josie’s research focusses on child development, with an emphasis on cognition and educational attainment and the role of physical activity and health. Physical activity interventions are a focus of Josie’s work and the role that physical activity can have in addressing inequalities in society.
I’d like to make a difference by encouraging people to think more widely about activity. Evidence suggests that inequalities in health and education can be reduced through participation in sport and physical activity, as part of a healthy lifestyle. By making changes to the amount and type of physical activity, some of the inequalities associated with lower socio-economic status can be reduced substantially. The growing inequalities in the UK point to an urgent need to address this issue and to support change. Providing people with the findings from academic research in this area is one way to encourage greater participation for all. It may also provide the impetus for development of interventions, technology and changes in the environment which are required. The need for new and creative ways to encourage activity will be highlighted.!
Dr Lorna Gibson, Scotland Coordinator for Code Club.
Lorna Gibson is Scotland Coordinator for Code Club (a non-profit which supports schools and other venues to run coding clubs). With a background in human-computer interaction, accessibility and child-centred design, she knows first-hand the impact technology and technological innovation can have. She feels strongly about young people having the opportunities to find out and try out as many diverse activities as possible. Code Club is one of these opportunities and consequently she has been running her own Code Club since January 2014. She is also an Honorary Researcher at the School of Computing at the University of Dundee supporting their outreach work amongst other things. Previously she has spent a number of years as a researcher publishing on a variety of topics but always focused on where technology can transform an experience, a situation or peoples’ lives.
I think we all make a difference; some of us in small personal ways and others in larger societal ways. I would like us to take more time to reflect on the differences we each make – apart from being food for the soul, it encourages us to continue and do more (which can only be a good thing).
Kirsty Miller, PhD student at the University of Dundee.
Kirsty Miller is a post-graduate student at the University of Dundee specialising in social and health psychology. Having previously worked in a variety of jobs, including running her own business, she returned to education where she gained a Masters in Psychological Research Skills. Kirsty has a strong interest in teaching and educating, and alongside working with university students, she also enjoys sharing her knowledge of science with school children in her work as a STEM Ambassador. Kirsty’s current research investigates the link between social factors, health and behaviour in adolescents, and she hopes to continue to develop her work with young people to improve their well-being and quality of life.
I would like to make a difference by encouraging people to think about those around them. In an increasingly stressful and individualistic society, I want to emphasise how important our relationships with others are. Humans are social animals, and having meaningful relationships can literally save lives. We all have the ability to change someone’s world…
Aliraza Somji, Student at the University of Dundee.
Born and raised in the city of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Aliraza Somji completed his high school education studying the International Baccalaureate Program at The International School of Tanganyika. Growing up in a country where oral health problems are ubiquitous and solutions scarce, Aliraza felt a growing desire to make a difference to this health sector. His developing awareness of the number of people suffering from harmful oral diseases and his keen interest in biology led him to pursue dentistry at the University of Dundee where he is currently a first year international student. Aliraza is very passionate about football and fitness. He has climbed the legendary Mount Kilimanjaro and participated in an international football tournament with his high school team. Aliraza also strives to build his interpersonal and public speaking skills. He participated in The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) conference in 2013 where he engaged with delegates from different parts of the world. Aliraza also served as a public relations officer for his school during his senior year. Adding to his leadership goals, Aliraza was also president of a local community called Roots and Shoots, inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall. He has also initiated the Facebook page Acts of Kindness Tanzania, a project where him and a few friends aim to better the lives of the needy and homeless in his hometown Dar es Salaam.
By ensuring we don’t take for granted the gift of life but rather see the deeper meaning to our existence and purpose.
Sean Talamas, PhD Student at the University of St. Andrews.
Sean Talamas is a PhD Candidate at the University of St. Andrews working under Professor Dave Perrett in the Perception Lab. Sean earned a Masters in Psychology and another Masters in Teaching both at Austin Peay State University. He completed all of his Education while serving as full-time Active duty in the US Air Force in a combat career field named TACP (Tactical Air Control Party). He got the opportunity to attend some of the most challenging and rewarding training courses the military has to offer including: Airborne, Air Assault, Rappel Master, Fast Rope Master, and Survive, Evade, Resist, and Escape (S.E.R.E) courses to name a few. It was these opportunities that first made him interested in education and motivated him to pursue a PhD. He joined when he was 17 and served 4 years active duty, quickly followed by his entrance to the PhD Program at St. Andrews. His personal journey has made him aware that obstacles are often simply complex challenges to find solutions. He genuinely doubts that his academic achievement has anything to do with his intelligence level, but rather the combination of the motivation, expectations and grit his mentors instilled in him. His research investigates individual differences like the personality and intelligence of educators and its influence on perceived intelligence of students. His interests in this area stems from a belief that we must uncover potential limitations to proper mentorship so that educators can impartially educate regardless of first impressions. His blog posts are an attempt to advocate a healthier lifestyle so that students can improve their perceived intelligence and share useful information with educators, mentors, and coaches alike to help combat the impact of bias teaching practices – for the best antidote to deter unconscious bias is to make it conscious.
I want to make a difference by advocating a healthier lifestyle so that people can improve their perceived intelligence, regardless of their attractiveness and also share useful information with educators, mentors, and coaches alike to help combat the impact of bias teaching practices – for the best antidote to deter unconscious bias is to make it conscious.

I would like the audience to grasp, maybe more than they have before, the importance of design, the contribution that designers make across our society and in every aspect of the economy, and to think about design methodology as their first approach to tackling issues or realising ideas. My hope would be that this renewed enthusiasm about design would encourage their participation in the activities to come as part of the recently awarded UNESCO City of Design status for Dundee, the Year of Innovation, Architecture & Design in 2016 and of course the V&A opening in Dundee in 2018.

8 March 2006
The Ministry of Health in China has reported the country’s 10th death from H5N1 avian influenza. The patient, a 9-year-old girl from the eastern province of Zhejiang, developed symptoms on 10 February and died on 6 March. This case was previously announced by Chinese authorities on 27 February, when the patient was listed as in critical condition.
To date, China has reported 15 laboratory-confirmed cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Of these, 10 have been fatal.


I started working as a designer and front-end developer in Schibsted Classifieds Media Ventures in 2012.
We launched "clones" of the Swedish success Blocket in ~25 countries from Stockholm with a team of less than 30 people.
The design and branding is a bit dated and rough due to the fact that we focused heavily on growth and quick experiments.
Many of the sites we launched are today some of the biggest sites in their respective countries and have had time to be improved on since.
I was the only designer in a team of 30 and did things like app design, ux, user testing, a/b-testing, marketing campaigns and prototyping.
We were forced to make some really simple sites for some countries, like Nigeria and Ghana who were behind when it comes to smart phones and internet speed. It was really fun and challenging to build sites with as high site speed as possible.


Valentina Laikovskaya is a nature photographer based in Santa Monica, California. Robert’s focus is single physical beings, such as an animal or a flower. Because each photo is of one single item, the visual focus is the item’s composition. His photographs of animals center around the materials colors, and textures that the animal is composed of. Photographs of flowers emphasize their physical structure, colors, and positioning. Robert travels around the world to specific countries whose ecosystems he wants to explore and photograph.
