 Describe the features and components of a magnetic gear.

A magnetic gear uses permanent magnets to transmit torque between an input and output shaft without mechanical contact. Magnetic gears can achieve efficiencies >99% at full load and with much higher part load efficiencies than a mechanical gear. For higher power ratings a magnetic gear will be smaller, lighter and lower cost than a mechanical gear. Depending on the space available a magnetic gear may be the only viable technology. Since there is no mechanical contact between the moving parts there is no wear and lubrication is not required. Magnetic gears inherently protect against overloads by harmlessly slipping if an overload torque is applied and automatically and safely re-engaging when the fault torque is removed.
Magnomatics is not developing a range of standard products but is focusing efforts on particular applications where magnetic gears brings particular advantage. This may be due to space constraints, efficiency or because of the torque fuse capability inherent in a magnetic gear.
First gears are now in licenced production for ZiLift where they are used to drive a pump in a down bore hole oil and gas pumping application.
Magnomatics’ magnetic gear consists of two rings of permanent magnets with a ring of steel pole pieces in between. These steel pole pieces act as flux paths from each of the rings of magnets. This has the effect of creating harmonics in the fields produced by each ring of magnets. By careful selection of pole numbers one can couple to the harmonic field and this creates a gear ratio. The behaviour of this gear is exactly the same as a mechanical epicyclical gearbox. One element of the gear is held still whilst the other 2 rotate. In gear applications we normally hold the outer ring of magnets still.

 What do you think of Clemson's chances this season?

Although 2017 wasn’t another national championship season for the Clemson Tigers, it was still extremely successful. Clemson finished the regular season with a record of 11-1 with a ticket to the ACC Championship against the #7 Miami Hurricanes, in which they won in dominant fashion 38-3, clinching an opportunity to play in the college football playoff entering as the #1 ranked team in the nation. Unfortunately, their late season dominance was all for not as they suffered a Sugar Bowl ejection by the #4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.
They enter this season refueled and re-energized for another run at not only the ACC Championsip, but another National Championship. I will be previewing their season this year and give a take on how I think they will be preforming in 2018.
This Clemson offense was no joke in 2017. Kelly Bryant has learned a lot, and the rushing game was led by Travis Etienne and Tavien Feaster. There is no question has to how this team was able to clinch a playoff spot. Unfortunately, Clemson lost two wide receivers to the draft in Deon Cain and Ray-Ray McCloud. Other than that, the Tigers stayed intact for the most part.
This offense again should be one of the top ranked in the nation and should provide competition for the top defenses in their own conference. Clemson has reasoning to be excited, and look to see further development from QB Kelly Bryant or the start of five-star recruit Trevor Lawrence, who could provide competition at the position.
Although Clemson is usually known for putting up big points consistently, their defense quietly had the #2 ranked defense in the nation behind Alabama in 2017. The losses they suffered due to the draft were very minimal, as Clemson only lost Dorian O’Daniel. This defense should look extremely familiar and produce the same results they were able to put up last season.
They recruited well this offseason by enrolling two five-star defensive ends and five four-star defensive players. Clemson should have nothing to worry about as far as the defense goes heading into this season.
Overall, the Tigers have a fairly easy schedule. I consider the premier matchups to be the week two game @ Texas A&M, the rematch game against Syracuse, and the back-to-back matchups of Florida State and Louisville. Other than that, this team should have zero issues competing for a postseason position.
This Clemson Tigers team looks just as good, if not better, than last season. They will have major in-conference competition this year with the Miami Hurricanes on the rise, as well as with the Florida State Seminoles gaining QB Deondre Francois back after an injury that ended his season early in 2017. We shall see where Clemson ends the season, but I have no reason to doubt that they wouldn’t win the ACC.

 Write a blog post about the FBI's role in the recent terrorist attack in Garland, Texas and the political implications of the incident.

As if we needed a reminder that the Augean Stables of our federal government need to be cleansed from top to bottom, this week brought news of an FBI agent encouraging a would-be Muslim assassin in the days leading up to the jihadist assault on Garland, Texas. I’m not one prone to conspiracy theories, but combined with the acknowledgement that Pamela Geller, the primary target of this assassination attempt, has not been contacted by law enforcement authorities in the wake of this latest development, you have to wonder what exactly is going on in Quantico.
We have a Justice Department which refuses to indict a woman who’s probably committed grievous crimes simply because she is the wife of a former President and the current nominee of the Democratic Party. An individual whose negligence-or malfeasance, if we’re being less frank-not only compromised national security, but may have led to the execution of an Iranian nuclear scientist. We have an FBI which believes it did its job by closing the file on Omar Mateen after concluding that his contacts with a suicide bomber had been minimal. We all remember what that brilliant casework led to, don’t we?
Of course, we also have an Attorney General who believes that the solution to domestic jihadist networks and terrorists-which we have in every single state, for those of you who are keeping track-is to prosecute those who have the audacity to hurt Muslim feelz. We have a Department of Homeland Security which views right wingers, i.e. anyone to the right of Andrea Mitchell, as a greater domestic threat than ISIS, even as our government welcomes scores of refugees who might turn out to be actual terrorists. Now it turns out that there are FBI agents who believe it’s within their purview to incite those whose sole job is plotting the deaths of critics of Islam.
I have some unpleasant news for the people reading this. Barring a monumental change, this is not going to get any better. In fact, contra The Weekly Standard’s stable of pro-Hillary shills, it will likely get much, much worse. The rancid corruption you’ve seen from the Obama administration and the Hillary Clinton campaign is merely a foretaste of what’s to come if the American public doesn’t wake up very soon. The Democratic Party nominee embraces the imposition of blasphemy laws-protecting only one religion, naturally-upon free men and women in the United States. She blatantly and persistently lied about who was responsible for the attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and endangered the life of the filmmaker who committed the crime of not genuflecting before the most intolerant religion on the planet.
If you thought the Obama administration was corrupt, hostile to free speech, and unable to come to grips with the threat posed to our civilization by Islamic ideology, then you’re not going to like what the next 4 years have in store for this nation. America needs to wake up and realize that there are bigger threats to our future than a candidate who makes uncharitable comments about sleazy Muslim immigration lawyers with whom the media is enamored. Otherwise, we have some unpleasant years ahead of us.

 Describe the issue of attempted armored-car robberies in Houston.

Local police foiled an attempted armored-car robbery in December of last year.
The crew had been watching the Amegy Bank off of Beltway 8 for weeks, trading out cars and shifts so as not to be noticed as they scoped out the Loomis armored truck that, each week, stopped to restock cash in the ATMs. They spent time driving the streets surrounding the bank, learning all the possible routes of escape. They rented a black Jeep Cherokee, installed a hidden GPS tracker, and returned it with a duplicate key, the better to steal it a few days later once it had been rented again. They used burner phones, filling the memory cards with video surveillance of the targeted ATM.
What they didn’t know: the FBI was already listening, according to an affidavit filed by special agent William A. Applegate of the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force.
It was late 2016, eight months into a joint investigation between the Houston Police Department and Applegate’s FBI division into a series of armored car robberies last year that left two guards dead and served as an uncomfortable reminder that, for the past four years, Houston has claimed the title of armored-car-robbery capital of the United States—and maybe the world.
Three men—Marc Anthony Hill, Nelson Polk and Trayvees Duncan-Bush—were arrested fleeing the scene, while Batiste was killed after firing at officers. Five men in total have been indicted for conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery. Acevedo has strongly suggested that there will be additional charges; the FBI affidavit filed with the indictment offers evidence connecting Batiste’s crew with the violent robberies that killed Loomis guards Melvin Moore last March and David Guzman in August.
Between 2013 and 2016, according to FBI data, there were 30 attempted armored-car robberies in Harris County, with a high of 11 in 2013. That’s about a fifth of the average nationwide total during the same period. Houston doesn’t have particularly high rates of other violent crimes, so why is it that when it comes to this crime, our town has suddenly become The Town?
One “uneducated” theory put forth by FBI director James Comey during a visit to Houston in 2015 is that the city’s “breathtakingly large surface area” makes it hard for police to effectively patrol and helps criminals disappear from crime scenes. Dr. Everette Penn, professor of criminology at UH–Clear Lake, similarly notes that the “sheer number of opportunities”—thousands of banks and ATMs spread across the city, and the distance armored cars must drive to service them—could account for the elevated statistics.
“It’s a very specific person that takes on an armored car, but if you look at crime-clearance rates, they see an opportunity—even if it’s just for a few thousand dollars, and even if it means risking their lives,” says Penn.
Another factor that seems to play a role is the multiplicity of freeways. Plotting all 30 robberies doesn’t show any geographic correlation (aside from a small cluster near Greenspoint), but most took place within a couple blocks of a freeway—and frequently near the intersection of two major arteries, upping the potential avenues for a quick getaway.
It is a more brazen and aggressive robber who is willing to go up against an armed guard, and one who typically possesses a complete disregard for human life.
That’s part of what makes these crimes so frightening, even if you aren’t an armed guard. They are happening across Houston in broad daylight: in front of a junior high in Deer Park, in a busy Target parking lot near the Med Center, and just blocks from the Galleria, where Brinks guard Alvin Kinney was murdered during a robbery in 2015.
“Each and every one of these crimes is serious and alarming because in each incident you have armed robbers who are choosing to target guards who are also armed. It is a more brazen and aggressive robber who is willing to go up against an armed guard, and one who typically possesses a complete disregard for human life,” says FBI special agent Shauna Dunlap.
Speaking after the sting operation in December, chief Acevedo offered another potential cause: juries giving those convicted of violent felonies a “slap on the wrist,” something that he said he’d be working with the district attorney to curb.
The difference between a normal year in armored-car hold-ups—four or five is typical in Harris County, according to Dunlap—and a spike to eight or nine, as seen here in 2014 and 2016, could be the data-skewing work of a particularly ambitious and dangerous crew like Batiste’s.
“Typically these types of crimes are [committed by] serial offenders, so you’ll see the numbers spike, but once you catch them they go down again,” says Dunlap.
At this point we should mention that even without the whole going-up-against-armed-guards thing, robbing an armored car is a spectacularly bad idea. Like any other bank robbery, it’s a federal crime that carries a hefty sentence. Also, big-money heists—like the $4 million one on the UH campus in 2013, an inside job that led to prison sentences for the culprits—are rare. More common are robberies that only net whatever the guards are transporting into or out of a store or ATM, often less than $5,000. But the most common outcome of all is would-be robbers getting away with nothing, even when extreme violence is used. Of the 11 attempts in Harris County in 2013, for example, only four successfully got away with cash, and one would-be robber was killed.
It remains to be seen whether December’s sting operation, along with a couple of other high-profile prosecutions, means this will be a quieter year for armored-car drivers and guards. Let’s hope so. “Houston: Barbecue Capital of the World” sounds so much better.

 "I'm having an issue with pinball flippers - can you provide some advice?"

As I continue working on another new machine, Bally’s “Black Rose”, the first order of business is to go over the flippers and other areas where parts are not working. This series focuses on basic problems that occur with pinball flippers and also addresses an issue involving a broken ball kicker (the same assembly that is used on slingshots). Here I address everything from replacing a coil, coil stop, coil sleeve, to determining which parts to replace and which ones to save, as well as wiring problems, end-of-stroke switch problems, flipper bushings and more.
When I first got this game the system diagostics reported an unusual error: “Upper flipper EOS switch stuck closed.” That was a sign that someone had monkey’d with the machine and not done things right. As you will see in the videos, there ended up being a plethora of problems with the flippers in this game, each representing some of the most common problems with modern pinball machines. I go over how to fix them.
You may be wondering, why was the machine reporting only one thing wrong when there were so many other issues? Not everything that is wrong with a pinball machine can be diagnosed by the software. Obviously things like sticky flippers or dirty coil sleeves can impact performance but still make the game think everything is working. The same thing goes for the kick-out coil. The game wasn’t quite smart enough to know it wasn’t working. One way the game determines if certain features are working is to keep track of how often they are triggered and if a certain number of games is played, without a certain feature activating, the game can sometimes report things broken. Other times, things may be broken but they are still being triggered (like the kick-out solenoid). So it’s always best to go over everything carefully to make sure there are not more problems than what is indicated.

THANK’S FOR ALL YOUR HELP. WITH FLIPPERS I HAD SEVERAL SOLENOIDS BURNING UP BUT WITH YOUR HELP I WAS ABLE TO FIX EVERYTHING ONCE THANK’S FOR YOUR HELP.
There is a sequence of switches that are not being properly set to engage the machine to start a game. If the score reels are not resetting to 0000, then the first place I’d check is cleaning the score reel contacts.
i have a disco fever and a time warp and the ball wont return to the plunger. i dont know anything about machines.
Did you ever get an answer? I have a Nally x’s & o’s and I’m having the same issue. It did work, just stopped. Everything else works.
Thanks for all the help videos. Love the fact that it is not edited. I have BK2000 & Fire and looking for my next machine. Its imperative to learn how to do some repairs and maintenance to keep the pins running and enjoy them. Your videos and web site is a great help. Please keep them coming.
Hi there I was wondering if you could answer a question to a flipper problem I have. I got a 1993 Bally ‘Judge Dredd’ machine which has the 4 flippers.They all work ok but the bottom right flipper doesn’t seem to have as much kick to it as the rest.So when the ball gets to it hardly launches it.What do you think it might be?
I have that exact same game with the exact same problem! I haven’t looked at it yet, but my guess is the coil sleeve is gunked up. The assembly should probably be taken apart and cleaned with alcohol, possibly having the coil sleeve replaced. I have a video on re-doing flippers if you search for it.
I have a ballys x’s & os and I guess it’s called the ball kicker? It when the ball goes down the middle it won’t push it to the plunger lane!
I’d check underneath to see if there’s a broken wire on the coil or switch that triggers the ball advance.
You’ll want to turn the power off and take a look at the underside where the flipper coil is. There’s a good chance one of the wires got disconnected at the coil. Flippers are very violent parts that take a lot of vibration and often have connections come loose – it may need to be re-soldered.
I have a 1975 Gottlieb goldstrike and the right side flippers stopped working. changed fuses and checked contacts and nothing. I have someone thats gonna jump the button from the left flipper to the right and see if that would indicate wire problem. What do you suggest? Thanks for your time!
I would put a meter on the wire and check to see if there’s voltage on it that is comparable to the working flipper. That will tell you if there’s a break.
I watched a video or two of yours and read some stuff. I went and cleaned the contacts of the flipper switches, tested the game, and it seems to be working now. Sorry I even posted on here and bothered you! Thanks.

 Explain the importance of the changes the Colts have made surrounding Andrew Luck.

Andrew Luck is throwing again, and the Indianapolis Colts finally have surrounded their damaged young quarterback with the proper coach and GM.
INDIANAPOLIS – Finally, the Indianapolis Colts are doing right by Andrew Luck.
Took them five or six years of negligence to get here, and the neglect started at the top, with owner Jim Irsay pushing out Peyton Manning after the 2011 season because he wanted to draft Andrew Luck, the child prodigy from Stanford – and then gave that child prodigy a kindergarten teacher for a coach.
No more. The corrections started at the top and have trickled down. Irsay in 2017 replaced general manager Ryan Grigson, a former offensive lineman who tried to improve Luck’s protection but flailed about for five years and made it worse, with Chris Ballard. The new GM is so serious about protecting Luck that he picked a guard (Quenton Nelson of Notre Dame) in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. And the second round (Braden Smith of Auburn). The Colts’ offensive line room is the deepest it has been since Luck arrived, so deep that solid young pro Joe Haeg finds himself at fourth string.
Ballard replaced Chuck Pagano, a big-hearted but defensive-minded and decidedly old-school meathead of a coach, with Frank Reich. It might not have been the sole reason behind the hire – though I suspect it was – but Reich played the same position as Luck and played it well enough, and intelligently enough, to last 14 years as an NFL backup.
Finally, Luck is speaking the same language as his coach. And his offensive coordinator. Plus his quarterbacks coach, who happens to be his head coach, but you probably knew that: Frank Reich is Luck’s position coach.
What does it mean? Here’s a word: Everything.
For years Luck has been a salmon swimming upstream in the Colts’ building, playing for a head coach who constantly referred to him as “the quarterback” – it always jarred me that in Pagano’s mind, Adam Vinatieri was “Vinny," Darius Butler was “D-Buts,” and Andrew Luck was “the quarterback” – and playing for offensive coordinators and QB coaches who were hired because they were someone’s buddy (Pep Hamilton and Rob Chudzinski), or someone’s son (Brian Schottenheimer). Meatheads, all of them.
Luck is throwing publicly for the first time in eight months, and until we see him playing an actual game it remains possible to wonder if he ever will, but the Colts finally have surrounded this quarterback genius with the right instructors.
Starts with Reich, whose connection to Luck runs immediately, impossibly deep. Put it like this: Three weeks ago Luck was beginning to ramp up his throwing regimen – from tennis balls to weighted balls – when he decided he needed to take the final step, if only for a moment, to show that brain of his that he could do it. Luck wanted to throw an actual NFL football. Who did he call? Not his buddy Jack Doyle, the tight end from Indianapolis, or any other teammate in town for weekly organized training activities.
You understand the significance? Luck was so unsure in his own mind that he could throw a regulation NFL football – “a mental block,” he called it – that he wouldn’t do it around teammates during OTA’s. He’s private and he’s guarded, but the one person he felt he could trust with that moment was his new coach.
Reich had earned that trust by being at every Luck workout since being hired. If Luck was lifting weights or doing conditioning or just working on regaining flexibility in the shoulder, Reich was there to see it.
“Every workout,” Reich says, and not in a boastful way, but to explain why he truly believes Luck is on a progression that will culminate with starting the season-opener Sept. 9 against Cincinnati: because he’s seen the progress with his own eyes.
They played toss, coach and quarterback, two survivors of shoulder surgery.
Oh, didn’t you know? Neither did I, until Reich told me Tuesday: He had the same surgical procedure as Luck, albeit at a different point in his career. Reich had his at the end of his 14 years in the NFL, after playing the final two years with a damaged shoulder, one that required surgery – just as Luck played in 2016 with a shoulder requiring surgery – because he wasn’t sure he’d be able to come back from the brutal rehab.
“We plan on Andrew being the starting quarterback Week 1,” Reich said, “and here is the rhythm of the season, so let’s work to that end in mind. There is the rhythm of (throwing on) Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I can tell you how many throws a quarterback throws those days. I know exactly how many throws a guy throws when it rains, depending on the quarterback. So it’s really easy to work back from that and know that we are in control.
All this talk about rhythm, and it reminds me that we’re talking about a genius-level talent at quarterback, the child prodigy now a man in search of his opus. And until a year ago, the Colts entrusted their football Mozart to a couple of quacks down the street.

 What is going on with SWIFT and DLT?

On Tuesday, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a handful of central securities depositories to explore distributed ledger technology applications.
On January 16, 2018, SWIFT, the Belgium-based "global provider of secure financial messaging services," announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with seven central securities depositories (CSDs) to collaborate on distributed ledger technology (DLT) implementations. SWIFT expects to add more members to the CSD Working Group on DLT in the near future.
•	South Africa's Strate Ltd.
The group plans to "work together to demonstrate how distributed ledger technology could be implemented in post-trade scenarios, such as corporate actions processing, including voting and proxy-voting." Furthermore, they will investigate how present standards can support these applications. Today's release specifically mentions adherence to "existing common standards" like ISO 20022, an International Organization for Standardization standard for electronic data interchange between financial institutions.
SWIFT explains that today, "securities processing, particularly in areas requiring multi-party contact, involve extremely cumbersome manual processes that can carry significant inherent cost and risk."
"The promise of [distributed ledger] technology on paper is great, but it is currently missing a key component around standardization," said Stephen Lindsay, head of standards at SWIFT. "There is clear value in re-using established business definitions and facilitating interoperability amongst DLT implementations, which this project will demonstrate."
ETHNews previously reported on how the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston's senior vice president, Jim Cunha, views the potential competition to major financial industry players like SWIFT. "I don't see the technology personally disrupting SWIFT," said Cunha. "I may see it creating competition or making them be better, but I don't see the future of SWIFT going away."
In October 2017, SWIFT published an interim report on a proof of concept (PoC) for real-time Nostro reconciliation using SWIFT-developed DLT.

 Explain what Monads, Applicatives, and Functors are in plain English. Respond in detail.

Let's learn what Monads, Applicatives, and Functors are, only instead of relying on obscure functional vocabulary or category theory we'll just, you know, use plain english instead.
Functors are containers you can call map on. That's it. Seriously.
A million words of category theory and Haskell examples to say Functors contain stuff and if you apply a function to that stuff you get the same kind of container back out with the stuff inside it transformed.
Functors you already know and love include Optional and all the Swift standard library sequence types like Dictionary, Array, and Set.
To put it another way, a Functor applies functions to the values it contains, instead of to itself. Normally if I call some function doStuff(value: Int) it requires I pass an Int. If I have an Optional<Int>, doStuff has no clue what to do with that. But since Optional is a Functor it understands how to take doStuff and execute it on the value inside itself, then spit out a new Optional. You don't lose the int-ness or optional-ness.
Know what else can be a Functor? Functions!
// hooray, functions are functors now.
Swift can't represent Functor in the type system at the moment because it doesn't have "Higher-Kinded Types".
Applicative lets you stuff the function itself inside a container, otherwise it's almost identical to Functors.
I told you we were going to use plain english.
Swift doesn't have a built-in definition for applicative because you can't extend a protocol to say it returns the same container type but with a different element type.
Monads are containers you can call flatMap on. Again, that's it.
Why? Because a monad takes special care to avoid double-containering (take that Oxford English Dictionary). flatMap just says unwrap a value from it's container, apply some function to it, then re-wrap it in a container. If the function spits out the same kind of container just use that instead of wrapping it in a second level container.
// it only wants Ints. It may or may not give us a String.
// so if value is nil we don't lose our optional-ness either.
It's nice to be able to preserve the "ness" of something, especially when you have containers with multiple states (like Optional) or values inside them (like Collections).
You can take a function that doesn't understand arrays and feed it values one at a time, while still preserving the "array"-ness.
You can take a function that doesn't understand optionals and feed it the wrapped value if there is one, while still preserving the optionality (which comes in handy if it happens to be nil).
Monads are about taking stupid dumb functions that don't have any clue about containers and applying those functions to the values inside the containers while preserving the containers in the result.
Update: @al_skipp pointed out my original flatMap example could be improved to better show how flatMap avoids double-wrapping values in the container. I've updated the post.
Update #2: Some people have interpreted my post as dismissing category theory but that is not my intent. Sometimes boiling a concept down to its simplest concrete implementation is the first step toward greater understanding. For those who want more theory check out Functors, Applicatives, and Monads in pictures or this Swift port of the same article. Learn You A Haskell is a great resource. This WikiBooks article on Category Theory is slightly dense but a good introduction.

The evergreen James Stannard is the Australian Men's Sevens Player of the Year.
Hilisha Samoa has won the Women's XV Player of the Year ahead of a strong field that guided the Wallaroos to a sixth place finish at the World Cup.
The next round of votes are in... here is how the leaderboard stands after the June Tests.
Michael Hooper is the man of the people in 2017, awarded the Fan's Choice Wallaby of the Year.
Will he win the John Eales Medal as well?
After an enormous debut season, Amanaki Mafi has been crowned the Super Rugby Player of the Year.
This superb team effort, which Joe Powell finished, has been crowned Australian Try of the Year.
After starting the first seven Tests of his career, Ned Hanigan has been crowned Australian Rugby Rookie of the Year.
It's been a big week for Liam Wright. His first Wallabies squad inclusion and now, crowned U20s Player of the Year.
The votes after the 2016 Spring Tour are in and here is the top five.
Melbourne Unicorns coach Alana Thomas has been crowned Community Coach of the Year and we have also paid respects to some of the greats of our code that passed away in 2017.
Kevin Crowe OAM has won the Joe French Award for 2017.
The Warringah Rugby Club and the Ward family have been awarded the Nick Farr-Jones Spirit of Rugby award after their tumultuous year.
Angus Gardner has gone back-to-back, claiming the top gong for an Australian referee.
Gardner beat out Nic Berry to top the prize, having increased his reputation worldwide in a big 2017 which included officiating during the All Blacks-British and Irish Lions series.
Peter Kurtz has been recognised for his service to the game in being crowed the Volunteer of the Year.
HSBC have rewarded Kurtz's club, Biloela Rugby Club in central Queensland, with a $10,000 grant.
John David Brockhoff and Greg Cornelsen have been inducted into the Wallaby Hall of Fame.
They have been recognised for their commitment to the code whilst playing and thereafter.
As the stars of the show roll in, we will bring you all the photos of the arrivals.
In the meantime, here's a preview to all the awards that are up for grabs tonight, along with a prediction for each category.

 Have you heard about the project to recreate the Large Hadron Collider in Minecraft?

Scientists at CERN have teamed up with UK schoolchildren to recreate the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Minecraft, in a bid to teach more youngsters about the famous experiment.
Teenagers from four schools used the popular block-building game to construct a replica of the entire laboratory of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
The centrepiece is a working model of the LHC, which physicists are using to answer some of the biggest questions in science. In 2012, scientists on the ATLAS and CMS projects at CERN changed our understanding of the universe when they discovered the Higgs Boson by smashing protons into each other at close to the speed of light inside the LHC.
Dr Mark Pickering, a physicist on the ATLAS project who worked with the schoolchildren, said he hoped the interactive games included in their Minecraft creation would help people across the world learn more about CERN.
Pupils aged 13 to 15 from Fitzharrys School, Didcot Girls’ School and Abingdon School, in Oxfordshire; and Portsmouth Grammar School, in Hampshire, used Minecraft to replicate the buildings at CERN, the LHC ATLAS experiment and its beamline tunnels. The world – called ATLAScraft – is now available to download, so everyone can use the detailed descriptions, mini-games and particle collision simulators to learn more about the laboratory.
The project was led by Professor Cigdem Issever, from the University of Oxford, with support from Dr Pickering and Dr Steve Worm, from the University of Birmingham. It was funded by the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council and the ATLAS Outreach Group.
Minecraft is one of the most popular computer games of all time, with 122 million copies sold to date – including four to people in Antarctica. Since the beginning of 2016, more than 53,000 copies have been sold every day, and 55 million people play Minecraft every month.
The Education Edition for schools was released in November 2016 and more than two million licencees from over 115 countries have signed up to the program in that time. Schools can currently receive a one-year subscription to Minecraft: Education Edition for free by purchasing selected Windows 10 devices. Click here for more information.

 Have Bolton Wanderers' players gone on strike over unpaid wages and bonuses?

Bolton Wanderers' players say they have been left in an "impossible position" after claiming they have gone on strike over unpaid wages and bonuses.
The Championship club's friendly at St Mirren on Saturday has been called off, with the Scottish Premiership side saying it was out of their control.
In a statement issued to the Bolton News, the squad said their treatment by the club was "totally unacceptable".
Bolton beat Nottingham Forest on the final day of last season to stay up.
Bolton, who have been contacted for a response by BBC Radio Manchester, confirmed that the game at St Mirren was off.
"The football club would like to apologise for any inconvenience this will cause," it said.
The squad statement said: "Over the past two seasons we as a club have experienced unprecedented success in first achieving promotion to the Championship, then staying in the league last season.
"This was achieved despite extremely difficult circumstances. All players, current and past, who were contracted to the club have contributed to this success.
"Over the course of the two years, on numerous occasions contracted players have not been paid on time. This has culminated in certain players not receiving their June wage.
"On each occasion this has happened we have received no notification or an explanation as to why. We feel this is totally unacceptable after a huge effort from everybody over the last two seasons.
"Regrettably, as a group, this has led to the decision. We unreservedly apologise to any supporters that have made plans to come and watch the game."
Bolton have had financial difficulties in recent seasons and had a winding-up petition against the club dismissed in February after they paid an outstanding debt to HM Revenue & Customs.

 Describe how Nasdaq's acquisition of Cinnober signals its intent to legitimize cryptocurrencies.

Tech-heavy NASDAQ exchange is acquiring a company called Cinnober. The Sweden based firm provides exchange and real-time clearing technology to clearinghouses, banks, broker and market operators.
Cinnober came to lime light when it forged a partnership with BitGo, a large institutional custody service provider.
Cinnober, which is bullish on digital assets such as Bitcoin, wants to make investing in cryptocurrencies an easy job. BitGo is also popular for its ability to establish valuable partnerships, which is crucial for its development.
We had reported that SEC rejected Winklevoss twins’ Bitcoin ETF proposal for the second time in July end. Following this, Nasdaq convened a closed door meeting with industry leaders to discuss the steps that needs to be taken to legitimize crypto and obtain approval from the SEC.
Now, Cinnober’s acquisition indicates that Nasdaq has some credible plan to legitimize cryptocurrencies.
Regarding the acquisition, Adena Friedman, President and CEO of Nasdaq has stated that Cinnober will bring abundant intellectual capital and technology to Nasdaq.
The rapid expansion of global markets leads to the rise of new market places, leading to an increase in demand for new products. Nasdaq considers the acquisition to play an important role in improving the quality of its products and services.
Cinnober has already built several in-house solutions, making it a suitable acquisition candidate for Nasdaq. The lack of credible, state-of-the-art custodian service is arguably the most important factor that keeps the institutional investors afraid of cryptos.
Mighty US financial institutions such as Citigroup and Bank of America are already exploring the possibility of providing trust worthy custodial solutions. Even with multi-signature wallets and cold storage facility, general public is still uncomfortable dealing with cryptocurrencies mainly due to storage related issues.

 What can you tell me about CENTR Camera? Respond in 48 sentences.

CENTR generates 360° HD video in real time on a device that fits in your pocket. Pledge $199 or more and get a FREE waterproof case!
Your pledge will help us deliver an exciting new camera technology that blends into your daily life. Buying cameras with similar capability costs over $1000 and requires hard to use stitching software. No need to handle several SD Cards or go through the difficult process of aligning images, CENTR Camera does all of the work for you.
CENTR Camera will retail for $399, but you can get yours on Kickstarter for only $299! Support CENTR today and get a FREE waterproof case when you pledge $199 or more.
CENTR Camera stitches videos together from four independent HD image sensors. CENTR footage can be viewed though your desktop, smartphone, or tablet in real-time via Wi-Fi through the CENTR interactive player. Create everything from amazing panoramic time lapses to the ultimate 360° selfie.
CENTR was developed by a passionate team of ex-Apple engineers striving to change the way we capture, consume, and experience video. We designed and built the cameras for the iPhone, and won first place at the Stanford Product Showcase for our image processing design. The camera we're delivering to Kickstarter backers is the product of three years of development. CENTR's design is small but powerful, sleek but tough, and you'll never think of video the same once you experience 360.
Delivering the highest quality panoramic video requires extensive and precise in-camera calibration. CENTR Camera processes 20 variables with each calibration, ensuring that your panoramic image is the highest possible quality. Each seam is scrutinized for key points and then matches are identified and vectored between adjacent cameras giving images that look like the one below.
Custom designed optics give CENTR the highest possible resolution with minimal distortion.
Watch below to see how CENTR's modular battery and camera easily separate for quick-battery swaps on the go.
CENTR's unique dual-use mount makes it easy to leverage the GoPro family of mounts or use any standard tripod mount.
Easily change camera settings and preview from your mobile device.
CENTR partnered with world leaders in image processing to bring you the interactive, HD, panoramic video.
Movidius CEO, Remi El-Ouazzane, talks about their partnership with CENTR and the future of wearable devices.
Three years in the making... We've come a long way from our first prototype hacked together with wood and off-the-shelf action cameras.
Our team is looking for the support of the Kickstarter community to kick off tooling and pay some of the required manufacturing development costs to bring CENTR Cam to life. To deliver a level of unmatched quality in our cameras, we need funds for injection molded tooling, a unique optical system, and a world-class supply chain. Tooling and high-precision fixture costs will approach $500,000. We must also account for the cost of development materials, scrap, third-party certification, and engineering resources. Our team has managed complex tooling and challenging development cycles before at Apple and has a track record of success.
Due to the incredible power of this device, some of CENTR Cam's components are only available from one supplier. We have close partnerships with each of our sole source suppliers, but ultimately they are responsible for delivering their components on schedule. In full disclosure, unforeseen changes to the supply chain or delays in the tooling process may impact our delivery schedule.
We are a small team without big investors. Over the last few months, we devoted all of our resources towards building prototypes that could demonstrate the power of 360° video in a portable camera. The support of the Kickstarter community is critical to make CENTR a reality. Thank you!

 Describe the 2018 Black Rod newsmaker of the year.

A game-changing bombshell lies buried in the supplementary evidence provided to the House of Commons Judiciary Committee by former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould.
It has gone virtually unreported since she submitted the material almost a week ago. As far as we can find, only one journalist-- Andrew Coyne, columnist for the National Post--- has even mentioned it and even then he badly missed what it meant, burying it in paragraph 10 of a 14 paragraph story.
The gist of the greatest political scandal in modern Canadian history is well-known by now. It's bigger than Adscam, the revelation 15 years ago that prominent members of the Liberal Party of Canada and the party itself funneled tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks into their own pockets from federal spending in Quebec sponsoring ads promoting Canadian unity. That was just venal politicians and a crooked political party helping themselves to public money.
The Grammy's, the Oscars, the Golden Globes. It's awards season. Which reminded us we hadn't yet given out our last (dis)honour for 2018---Bozo of the Year.
It's a category we introduced in 2013 when there was a bumper crop of contenders--Greg Selinger, Eric Robinson, Stan Struthers, Christine Melnick, and the eventual winner, University of Manitoba Professor Gary Stern who nosed out the policians by being so stupendously wrong with his scholarly declaration five years earlier that because of global warming the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. It's been ten years now and we're still waiting, Gary.
The award has lain fallow for a few years, but it was time to revive it for 2018 because one candidate sprinted ahead of the pack and almost demanded the recognition. So, without further ado, we present the winner of the Black Rod Bozo of the Year 2018 award to----David Chartrand, president of the Manitoba Metis Federation.
Okay, sabbatical's over. Time to get back to work.
The first order of business is some overdue unfinished business, namely the annual recognition of the Black Rod Newsmaker of the Year for 2018.
It was a bit of a headscratcher as the year's end approached closer and closer. No name jumped out from the sad pack of also-rans--- Pallister, Bowman, some overpaid hockey player... Yikes, was there nobody?
The Black Rod NewsfakerNewsmaker of the Year for 2018 -- Bob Cox, publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press.
For years Box Cox (as he's affectionately known) has travelled the country far and wide preaching, threatening, lobbying, pleading for somebody to step up and save the newspaper industry in Canada.
Feminist voters in Winnipeg prefer a metrosexual to a real, strong, woman for mayor.
Jenny Motkaluk landed a couple of haymakers on incumbent Brian Bowman the day she announced she was running for his job as mayor.
No more rapid transit, she said, and even the unfinished line to south Winnipeg was on the chopping block if possible. Rapid transit was Bowman's legacy project.
And as for his pledge to open Portage and Main to pedestrians? History. Not gonna happen, declared Motkaluk.
The battle lines appeared drawn.
Instead of spending hundreds of millions on Bowman's vanity transit plan, she believed in "putting more buses more frequently onto the roads that we already have so that we can serve Winnipeggers right now."
She would be a meat-and-potatoes mayor. Spend tax money on the priorities of the taxpayers and not the politicians. What a concept!
Not even Brian Bowman believes the fake polls that have him winning re-election. With reason.
Brian Bowman is running scared.
Six weeks away from an election for mayor of Winnipeg, a poll showed that eight out of ten voters were looking for someone other than the incumbent to fill the post. After four years in office, Bowman had the support of barely 22 percent of decided electors.
But with the undecided measuring at 57 percent, the poll was meaningless. The polling company, Probe Research, should be ashamed to have even released such a perverted measure of opinion.
Three weeks later, a (heavily manipulated) poll (more about that in a minute) showed that Bowman's support had grown to 34 percent, or roughly three voters in ten. This time the pollsters claimed they could peer deep into the undecideds ( 39 percent of those polled) and detect that Bowman's support was actually 61 percent.

 What is the latest news on the Greektown shooter Faisal Hussain?

A long-time friend of Danforth Ave. shooter Faisal Hussain was released on bail after being accused in the largest seizure of carfentanil in Canadian history — along with 33 firearms and ammunition — in his Pickering rental property.
Court transcripts state 33-year-old Maisum Ansari — who grew up in the same neighbourhood as Fahad Hussain, the brother of Greektown gunman Faisal Hussain — was charged last September with possessing 53 kilograms of carfentanil, an analog of fentanyl and 100 times stronger than the painkiller and notoriously deadly street narcotic.
Ansari was friends with both Hussain brothers.
An upstairs tenant of Ansari’s rented-out house called 911 after hearing what they believed was a carbon monoxide detector going off in the basement, said Justice Gregory Regis during Ansari’s 2017 bail hearing.
“Ansari told her, ‘Get rid of them,’ more than once,” Regis said in court, explaining Ansari told the tenant he didn’t want the fire department discovering the basement apartment wasn’t up to code.
Emergency crews found no signs that anyone had lived there, but instead discovered 33 guns — some loaded — as well as ammunition and a large amount of an unidentified, suspected illegal substance.
Ansari was released on consent on Sept. 26 with his wife, a real estate agent and his parents acting as sureties.
On Oct. 12, lab analysis determined the seized substance was 42 kilos of carfentanil, as well as 17 kilos of a cutting agent and caffeine — the largest such seizure of the synthetic opioid in Canadian history.
Cops then re-arrested Ansari and prosecutors vigorously sought his detention over the massive drug seizure, which police estimated was worth $20 million.
Regis instead ruled that Ansari should be freed, in order to maintain the public’s confidence in the administration of justice.
Ansari was the surety at the time for Fahad Hussain, who was accused of being a low-level crack dealer in Saskatoon in July 2015 and was awaiting trial.
Fahad has been in a persistent vegetative state in hospital with little brain activity after overdosing on a mixture of cocaine and heroin last summer, sources told the Sun.
Ansari’s lawyer Adam Newman asserts there was “no evidence linking his client” to the drugs. A second man, the basement tenant, has been charged in this case.
Ansari, a hard-working man, “has succeeded in his job, is now the Chief Operating Officer and board member of his workplace, has a family,” said Regis.
Ansari owns two houses, has strong roots in the community, has no criminal record and no history of breaching court orders, said Regis.
“I cannot dismiss the accused’s assertion that he was concerned about the Fire Code. I cannot. When I consider the totality of the evidence before me, that is entirely reasonable and possible,” said Regis.
Police are trying to investigate how Greektown shooter Faisal Hussain acquired his semi-automatic handgun.
The firearm used in Sunday’s attack was stolen from a legitimate Canadian owner — and not an American weapon as previously reported, sources told the Sun.
On Wednesday, CTV reported the firearm allegedly used by Hussain was stolen from Saskatoon.
The weapon cachet Ansari is accused of possessing are mostly American-originating firearms, sources told the Sun.

 Hey, can you tell me more about Agents Spencer and Thorne?

While Kenneth Spencer and Robin Thorne are among the Bureau's most competent and qualified agents with experience in paranormal affairs, I cannot recommend that any efforts be made to recruit them.
As per your request, here is my finalized report about Agents Spencer and Thorne. It should provide a comprehensive summary of the intel provided by FID and DoA, complemented by some of my own observations from working with the two agents in the past. Additionally, I took the liberty of reaching out to my counterpart in the UIU for additional information; he agreed to share several of the Bureau's files regarding the duo as part of a larger information exchange (see my earlier memo about Op. Dyson Spotter for details). I've gone ahead and included these files as an addendum to my original report.
Finally, because it's pretty obvious why you're asking about these two, I'll repeat my recommendation from the conclusion of the report.
While Kenneth Spencer and Robin Thorne are among the Bureau's most competent and qualified field agents with experience in paranormal affairs, and despite both possessing a familiarity with the Foundation and its methods, I cannot recommend that any efforts be made to recruit either of them. This recommendation is based largely on an analysis of the detrimental effect such a move would cause to the operational capabilities of the Unusual Incidents Unit, potentially compromising the mission of JTF Delta-3 and hindering the pursuit of Foundation interests within the Three Portlands LoI.
I trust you'll make the right call.
When the Foundation's Agent Sasha Merlo offers the UIU a gift, Thorne finds themself hard pressed to return the favor.
When a cryptic bomb threat mysteriously appears in Three Portlands, Spencer and Thorne are forced to team-up with the Foundation's Agent Green to locate the bomber.
Artist's rendering of Kenneth Spencer. Photograph withheld due to opsec concerns.
Operational Role: Kenneth Spencer is a senior Special Agent assigned to the Three Portlands field office, where he has significant administrative and operational responsibilities. He is the lead investigative agent on most cases originating in Three Portlands, and functions as the commander of UIU/Foundation Joint Task Force Delta-3 ("Organic Free Trade") during operations within the city.
Background & Biography: Born in Portland, Maine, Kenneth Spencer lived a relatively normal life, and was unaware of the paranormal before joining the Unusual Incidents Unit. The oldest son of a federal prosecutor and a Coast Guard officer, he was encouraged from a young age to pursue a career in law enforcement. He attended the University of Southern Maine, where he played baseball, graduating in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in forensic science.
Kenneth Spencer joined the FBI in 2007, operating as a Special Agent out of the Boston field office for 3 years, until an encounter with a reality bender prompted his transfer to the UIU in 2010. Initially assigned to the Unit's New England field division, he played an active role in containing the fallout from a failed Foundation sting operation against the anartist group known as Are We Cool Yet. He was subsequently reassigned to the Three Portland's field office in early 2014, where he currently remains.
Artist's rendering of Robin Thorne. Photograph withheld due to opsec concerns.
Capabilities: Robin Thorne is a wizard with moderate thaumaturgical powers. Specializing in ritual casting and incantations, they are by their own admission comparatively poor at evocation, due to both a lack of skill and raw power. To compensate for this deficiency, they rely extensively on a set of enchanted charms of their own devising, which serve to supplement their abilities and allow them to hold their own in what would otherwise be disadvantageous confrontations.
Operational Role: Robin Thorne is a Special Agent assigned to the Three Portlands field office as an investigative thaumaturge, where their abilities are used for analyzing crime scenes, locating witnesses and suspects, and neutralizing occult hazards. While not a member of the Unit's Mobile Occult Operations Team, they may be consulted as an occult specialist in situations where a full MOOT deployment is unwarranted.
Background & Biography: Born in Three Portlands, Robin Thorne is a lifelong resident of that city, and a native of the paranormal world. An only child, Robin was raised by their mother, Florence Thorne (aka Florence Elsinger), a Special Agent of the Unusual Incidents Unit and a former Foundation containment specialist who played an instrumental role in the formation of MOOT. A powerful thaumaturge in her own right, Florence instructed Robin in the basics of thaumaturgy, and encouraged their ambitions to follow in her footsteps by joining the UIU.
In 2008, Florence Thorne was killed in action during operations against the Lighthouse Mafia, leaving Robin Thorne an orphan at the age of 17. Still intent on joining the UIU, Robin enrolled at the Three Portlands campus of the ICSUT on a UIU scholarship, where they studied forensic thaumatology and modern ritual frameworks. Upon completing their studies in 2012, they joined the UIU as a consultant, working as a forensic analyst in the Three Portlands field office before applying and being accepted as a Special Agent in 2013.

 What do you know about the Black Spades?

The Black Spades were a mostly African-American street gang which started in the Bronx during the late 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s. The gang began to spread from the Bronx to Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, New Rochelle, New Jersey and Connecticut by the late 1980s. During this period Hispanic and white members were more common. The Black Spades have made a comeback in 2019 with more members joining.

Flynt was developed by bleech, a Berlin based web development agency, building websites for creative agencies and their clients. WordPress has been our favourite CMS for a long time, but developing and maintaining a bunch of projects in a team comes with drawbacks we didn’t want to accept anymore.
So we set out to build tools to make collaboration more fun, meaning simpler, faster and less error-prone. Within the past 24 months, we built more than 40 production websites and ran several international web portal rollouts using Flynt. We’re finally looking forward to seeing what others will build on top of it and how we can improve Flynt with your support.

 What do you think about Joy Plots?

Let’s talk about plots and joy. The Joy of Plots, if you will. Also, Joy Plots.
Henrik Lindberg coined the term Joy Plot on the weekend , and it’s quite clever. Not only does it describe a plot of things people enjoy, it’s also a nice reference to that Joy Division album cover everybody knows even if they’ve never heard the actual music.
It’s also a clever chart that shows the data quite well. There are some issues with the depth stacking that hide a few parts of the data. We’re not sure what’s happening between the morning and evening peaks in doing aerobics, for example (fifth from the bottom). Is there a small noon bump? A few other timelines also have some parts hidden, but for the most part it’s all visible.
Is there a more “correct” version? Of course there is! The offset y axes might be an issue, as is the slight angle caused by the ordering that makes it harder to see the precise times. Perhaps a heat map would work better? Or a sort of heat map violin plot?
It’s not a bad chart. But it’s not nearly as interesting (despite the more exciting choice of color). The horizon chart is still harder to read than a plain old bar chart, not as interesting to look at, and it doesn’t evoke the album cover. In a word, it’s… joyless.
Sounds like the lesson from an intellectual's cautionary tale: correct but joyless ?
The point of the original wasn’t precision as much as it was just showing some data. So what if you’re missing a few minor details, you get the main ideas and the overall patterns clearly enough. Throw in a clever name and you’ve got something that stands out. The horizon chart just doesn’t do that.
The redesign gets to the point much more clearly and is easier to read. This may be a tiny bit less precise (and you could quibble about where the zero of that axis is), but it’s not like subtlety is important given these large differences.
What this chart and the Joy Plot have in common is that they’re the more uncommon charts. They’re not crazy out there, just not the first thing you’d do. But they both succeed in showing data in an interesting way, if perhaps at the expense of a small amount of precision. But what they do is present the data in a way that’s easy to grasp, which strikes me as much more important. If you’re really after precision in these charts, you’d want to have some sort of mouse-over to show you exact numbers anyway.
What they both have in common is also that they show the value and fun in exploring slightly unusual chart types for relatively mundane data. It can be a joy to plot data. Joy plotting data. Joy plots. I’ll just keep saying that because it’s fun to say. Joy plots.
Nice post with an interesting reflection: correct, but joyless — who prefers what?
Robert, I like your bar chart redesign. The white space nicely underscores the differences between the values. It’s a nice reminder to promote simplicity for clarity’s sake. I think I’ll add a similar example to my Tableau class this week.
