Boris Ignatovitch
Biography: Boris Ignatovich, born in Lutsk, Ukraine in 1899, was a Soviet photographer and a member of the Russian avant-garde movement. Ignatovich began his career in 1918, first working as a journalist and a newspaper editor before taking up photography in 1923. In the early 1920s he worked for a number of publications, most notably, Bednota (Poverty), Krasnaya Niva (Red Field) and Ogonyok. Ignatovich's first photographic success was a documentary series about villagers in the Ramenskoe's Workers' settlement, which coincided with the first 5-year plan after Stalin's victory. Ignatovich tried to alter the traditional format of documentary photography by using very low and very high unconventional angles, developing new perspectives, and including birds-eye constructions, which rendered the landscape as an abstract composition. In 1926 Ignatovich participated at the exhibition of the Association of Moscow Photo-Correspondents, and later became one of its leaders. In 1927, he photographed power plants and factories for Bednota and developed close association with Alexander Rodchenko, as they photographed for Dajosch together. Ignatovich's famous photo stories also included the first American tractors in the USSR and aerial photographs of Leningrad and Moscow. In 1928, Ignatovich participated in the exhibition 10 Years of Soviet Photography, in Moscow and Leningrad, which was organized by the State Academy of Artistic Sciences. Due to his companionship with Rodchenko, Ignatovich was greatly influenced by his style and unconventional techniques. Both became members of the distinguished Oktiabr, the October group, which was a union of artists, architects, film directors, and photographers. In February of 1930, a photographic section of the October group was organized. Rodchenko was the head of the section and wrote its program. Other members include Dmitrii Debabov; Boris, Ol'ga, and Elizaveta Ignatovich; Vladimir Griuntal'; Roman Karmen; Eleazar Langman; Moriakin; Abram Shterenberg; and Vitalii Zhemchuzhnyi. The October group, whose styles favored fragmentary techniques and the distortion of images in an avant-garde manner, captured the idea of a world in dynamic form and rhythms. First general October exhibition opened at Gorky Park, a park of culture and rest named after Gorky in Moscow. The photography section, organized by Rodchenko and Stepanova, includes the magazine Radioslushatel, designed by Stepanova and illustrated with photographs by Griuntal, Ignatovich, and Rodchenko. When Rodchenko was expelled from the October group for his formalist photography, Ignatovich took over as head of the photographic section of the group until the group was dissolved in 1932 by governmental decree. Apart from October, Ignatovich worked on documentary films from 1930 to 1932. As a movie cameraman, Ignatovich worked on the first sound film, Olympiada of the Arts. After 1932 he began to pioneer ideas such as the theory of collectivism in photojournalism at the Soyuzfoto agency where he developed specific rules and laws of photography, so much so that the photographers working under him were obliged to follow and jointly credit their work to Ignatovich by signing their photographs "Ignatovich Brigade." Ignatovich participated in1935 Exhibition of the Work of the Masters of Soviet Photography as well as the All-Union Exhibition of Soviet photography at the State Pushkin Museum in 1937. During the 1930s, Ignatovich also contributed photographs to the USSR In Construction, and in 1941, worked as a war photo correspondent on the front. After the War, Ignatovich concentrated on landscape and portraiture, experimenting with the use of symbols, picture captions, and ideas of collectivism, particularly at the Soyuzfoto agency where he continued to work as a photojournalist until he died in 1976.

text: Those opposed to occupation in Palestine have a far more difficult challenge to undo the bitter fruits that the policy of creating facts has produced, writes Aronson [EPA] It is said that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. As the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu celebrates the anniversary of yet another year of Israel's occupation, the news from places as far flung as Moscow and Beijing must be gratifying indeed. For almost half a century, and in the teeth of unanimous international opposition to its policy of permanent occupation, Israel has successfully managed to "create facts" that the international community - led by the United States - has either accommodated or proved unable to or not interested enough to challenge. Since 1967, Israel has settled almost 600,000 of its citizens - 7 percent of its population - in territories which not a single nation recognises as part of the sovereign state of Israel. Israel has built a modern infrastructure to transform these areas, home to more than four million Palestinians, into unremarkable parts of the state. As a result, Israel - as intended - has compromised, perhaps fatally, an Arab-Palestinian demand, supported by the international community, to secure a viable territorial base for the creation of a Palestinian state. Al Jazeera World - Journey into an Invisible war Old-fashioned ways Israel's strategy is a prime example of the old-fashioned way of practising diplomacy. It is concerned less about its standing on the ever-elusive "right side of history" - the source of many of the US President Barack Obama administration's Middle East policy travails - than about ensuring a hard-headed, often brutal and single-minded determination to win. Washington's shortcomings in this regard have been most spectacularly evident in an arc running from Iraq and Syria to Libya - where its policies aimed at undermining state power and sovereignty have never been grounded by any strategy of winning the battles of "the day after". Washington may be a stranger to such policies, but Moscow and China, like Israel, are not. Both countries are buttressing their determination to win - in Russia's case by cementing its control of the Crimea at Ukraine's expense, in China's case by the expansion of its power and presence in the strategically important South China Sea. The most difficult challenge facing those who oppose Israel's policy of creating facts is not to prevent Israel from pursuing policies that are making these territories into its own. Each mimics Israel by creating territorial facts on the ground in an effort to shape both the military and diplomatic environment in their favour. Like Israel's policies, those of Russia and China present difficult challenges to Washington, challenges that it has so far been unable to reverse. Does might makes it right? Construction has just begun of a 19km bridge connecting Russia's Krasnodar region with the Crimean city of Kerch, annexed following a disputed referendum in 2014. The $3.2bn bridge is designed to cement Crimea's integration with Russia and its economy. "Our predecessors understood the significance of this bridge ... and tried to complete this project a long time ago," said Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Let's hope we can fulfil this historical mission." China's actions are even more sobering. Beijing is literally creating new Chinese territory on water-swept reefs in the South China Sea, despite the opposition of other claimants and parties led by Washington. OPINION: Israel in Palestine - Separating fact from fiction Beijing has expanded by 1,300 hectares disputed atolls in the South China Sea in the past two years, according to a recent Pentagon report. China claims "indisputable sovereignty" over the Spratly Islands - known in China as the Nansha Islands - where construction is centred. "China's construction and deployment of facilities on its own soil in defence of its territory are legitimate acts of peaceful construction and exercise of its right to self-preservation," explained an official spokesman. "We need necessary means and capabilities to defend ourselves." Unintended recognition of success If Israel's example is any guide, Russia and China can rest easy. At a recent meeting of the UN Security Council, Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour took the international community to task yet again for its failure to end occupation. "At a time when the situation is boiling, the passivity and silence of the Security Council is truly shocking," Mansour said. OPINION: Statehood versus 'facts on the ground' UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon offered the Netanyahu government unintended recognition of the success of its strategy when he noted, "a two-state solution that meets the national aspirations of both peoples … seems more distant than it has for many decades … The creation of new facts on the ground through demolitions and settlement building," Ban suggested, "raises questions about whether Israel's ultimate goal is in fact to drive Palestinians out of certain parts of the West Bank, thereby undermining any prospect of transition to a viable Palestinian state." On Palestine, Ban is 50 years too late. Israel, no matter that it is the party in power, has managed for decades - indeed, it may be argued, since its inception - to successfully wield the power of the state, first to establish, and then to expand, its still-contested borders. The most difficult challenge facing those who oppose Israel's policy of creating facts - like those policies adopted by China and Russia - is not to prevent Israel from pursuing policies that are making these territories into its own. That battle was lost when it extended Israeli law and jurisdiction to parts of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem before the guns cooled in June 1967. For nearly 50 years, the bulldozers have been working without pause. Simply preventing Israel from continuing to pursue its objective of creating facts misses the point. Those opposed to occupation, whether in Palestine, the Crimea, or the contested atolls of the South China Sea, have a far more difficult challenge - to undo the bitter fruits that the policy of creating facts has produced.

So what do a bowl of yellow raspberries have to do with stepping out of your comfort zone? Basically, they represent trying new things – whether it be foods, activities, ways of thinking or moving your body. I had never tried yellow raspberries before today. Granted, they aren't the most extreme choice (these tasty nuggets are pretty similar to the red version, yet slightly milder and sweeter in flavor).
A better example, would be the field mouse I ate on my journey to Southeast Asia back in 2008. It was New Years Eve and the final night of a 3-week trip to Vietnam before I was heading into Thailand. I was on a dinner boat cruise with 4 other women I had met while traveling, along with two of our motorcycle tour guides who we had spent the last week with on the backs of their bikes (Easy Riders). The trip in itself was my first huge step (leap, really) out of my comfort zone as I went by myself, with just my backpack and a camera and had only booked my flights in and out of Hanoi, Vietnam. And no – I did not know a lick of the languages I would encounter along the way. Thankfully, however, my iPhone served as a translation tool and taught me some basics. My "plan" for the trip was to not plan – to head to SE Asia for 4+ weeks and take it day by day. I didn't want to do the typical tourist routes or restrict myself by time limits on my stops along the way. Not surprisingly, my friends and family thought I was crazy – adventurous and daring, but crazy. I can't tell you how many times someone responded with "I could never do that" when I told them my plan. The truth is, we all could do it… it's just about finding the courage to step out of your comfort zone, believe in your own strength and resilience and to be open to new experiences.
Find the courage to step out of your comfort zone, believe in your own strength and resilience and to be open to new experiences.
Okay, back to the field mouse. We were on the dinner cruise and perusing the menu when our guides suggested that we all pick something off the menu that we had never tried before. The other ladies spotted items such as frogs legs and eel, which were old hat to me. So when I blurted out "Wow, there's field mouse on here", I quickly realized that I couldn't take it back. Let me preface everything with the fact that I had not eaten any animal products for the length of the trip prior to this – I was already eating a primarily veggie diet at that point and had decided before embarking on the trip not to test the strength of my stomach in a part of the world where there's a good chance it would not agree with me.
After blurting it out, my declaration of the surprising menu item was quickly countered with "you have to order it!!" (yes, that emphatically) from my friends around the table. I was apprehensive not only because it because it was an animal but it was a MOUSE (I mean, really – a mouse). Then one of our guides asked me "When are you ever going to have the chance to try it again?" and I knew that I had to order it. Sadly, I don't have a picture of it – probably because it disappeared off the the table so quickly. Luckily it did not come out to the table in the shape of its live self (otherwise I honestly might have lost my bravery), but as little rectangles of meat in a rib-like sauce. The truth is, it ended up being one of the most delicious things I had eaten not only that evening but on the entire trip.
I don't have a picture of the tasty field mouse delicacy, but here's one of me and my ladies that night. An amazing journey full of adventures, experiences and friendships I would otherwise not have made if I did not step out of my comfort zone.

This November will be a COWncil election for the odd numbered district seats. The term of office is for four years. There are no term limits. Traditionally, incumbents run again and again unopposed. We do not know if there will be any vacancy but whether or not the incumbents run, we would like to see contested elections and discussion of the issues.
The seat up for election are Ron Romines (District 1). Thomas P. Shanahan (District 3), David Burow, (District 5), Peter Mason (District 7). While elections are "at large", candidates filing nominations papers must live in one of these districts and will oppose other candidates from only that district. .
The first date and time for the distribution of nomination papers is Monday, July 13, 2015, and the last date and time to file nomination papers will be August 7, 2015 by 5:00 p.m.. If an incumbent officer whose term of office is expiring, has not filed the time is extended for that district until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The papers include the signatures of not less than twenty nor more than thirty registered voters of Woodside. If you might be interested get more information here.
Because the members of the COWNcil have not faced opposition, we really do not know their policy positions other than by inferring them from their actions. Here are a few things we would like to know:
• What ideas do you have for making the planning and building process made quicker and more fair?
• What criteria should be used in making land use decisions?
• What do you intend to do regarding Citizens concerns about the ASRB and its process?
• What is your opinion on why the Town has not implemented video recordings of all council, commission and committee meetings as other cities and towns are doing? At what point would you encourage this happen?

Laboratory of Hormonal Regulations in Plants
About us
We are a medium-sized laboratory consisting of nine scientists and a varying number of under- and post-graduate students. Our research is focused on the metabolic regulation of intracellular and extracellular cytokinin and auxin levels and the mechanisms regulating the uptake and secretion of these phytohormones.
Our studies embrace intact plants, plant cell suspensions and tissue cultures expressing specific genes involved in the metabolism, transport and signaling by cytokinins and auxins, including genes encoding isopentenyltransferase, cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase, zeatin-O-glucosyltransferase, auxin binding protein 1 and auxin influx and efflux carriers.
Attention is also paid to development of new methods for analysis of phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene precursor), as well as the potential exploitation of research results for improvement of productivity of selected crop plants.
With pleasure, we organize the international symposium Auxins and Cytokinins in Plant Development. Last ACPD was held in 2014 and the next one will take place in 2018.
Group of auxin transport (Head: Jan Petrášek)
Our laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanism of polar auxin transport and on the ways of its regulation.
Plant hormone auxin is a key regulator of many developmental processes in plants. It plays a major role in control of temporal and spatial aspects of plant growth and, as such, it co-ordinates plant development. In contrast to other plant growth regulators (plant hormones), in some tissues auxin molecules are transported to long distances through plant body and their transport is directional (polar).
Mechanism of the polar auxin transport is based on physical-chemical properties of auxin molecules and on their molecular forms inside and outside cells. It is a very complex and dynamic process with many levels of regulation. More…
Group of metabolism and physiological function of cytokinins (Head: Václav Motyka)
Our laboratory is engaged in the research of cytokinins, i.e. plant hormones that regulate cell division and differentiation and thus efficiently control plant growth and development.
Cytokinins are naturally occurring phytohormones that act in concert with auxins to regulate cell division and differentiation and thus efficiently control plant growth and development. Transient enhancement of auxin in relation to cytokinin levels induces root formation while the opposite shift results in shoot formation. Re-establishment of the two hormone quantitative ratios (hormonal homeostasis) is essential for further development of induced events.
Endogenous levels of bioactive cytokinins and their mode of action in plants are regulated at different levels and by various mechanisms concerning biosynthesis, metabolic conversions, inactivation and degradation as well as signalling pathways and transport. More…
Group of the role of phytohormones in the interaction with environment (Head: Radka Vaňková)
Our laboratory focuses on the elucidation of plant defence mechanisms, with the aim to contribute to the development of effective strategies to enhance stress tolerance of plants.
Plants have evolved complex systems of defence against, and adaption to, the variable and often potentially damaging environmental conditions to which they are exposed during their growth and development. Due to their sessile character, plants need to respond very dynamically to various abiotic (drought, extreme temperatures, high light intensity) as well as biotic stresses (pest and pathogen attacks).
Drought belongs to the most frequent abiotic stresses. Plants cope with water stress by preferential protection of upper leaves and apex. Gradual degradation of macromolecules takes place in lower leaves, nutrients being transported to upper leaves. Plant hormones cytokinins increase the sink strength. More…
Group of mathematical modelling (Head: Klára Hoyerová)
Our laboratory uses mathematical modelling approach to unravel regulatory mechanisms of polar auxin flow in plants.
Nowadays, mathematical modelling is used as a tool for studying auxin transport more and more often. Present models are sometimes excessively simplified and/or do not reflect the structure of the real system properly. We have focused on construction of a detailed model of auxin transport mechanisms in plant cells using experimental data to analyse particular transport mechanism separately (an analytical-synthetic approach). These data include measurements of accumulation kinetics of radiolabeled auxins in cell suspensions and HPLC analysis of radiolabeled auxin metabolism, which has both provided valuable information about auxin transport properties at cellular level. More...
Analytical unit (Head: Petr Dobrev)
The analytical unit of our laboratory works on improving of existing and developing of new analytical procedures for purification, quantitation and metabolic profiling of plant hormones and some other bioactive substances of plant origin. More…

UIFe: Launcher - update launcher reveal interaction to make it more accessible to first time users
|Assigned to
|Ayatana Design
|John Lea
Fix Released
|gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
|unity (Ubuntu)
|unity-2d (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
Update the Launcher reveal interaction to make it more intuitive to new users.
This update involves a number of changes. These individual setting tweaks and changes are all tracked in a single bug because they all need to land to deliver a coherent UX (we can't pick and choose to do some of the items listed here and not others).
- Introduce a applet to the Gnome Control Center called 'Unity Launcher'
- This applet includes a single control that allows the user to select between "Show Launcher with mouse [ On left of screen | In top left corner ]
- 'On left of screen' becomes the default option
- When a user pushes the cursor *past* the edge of the screen the Launcher is revealed. To make this interaction insensitive and minimise false positives, the user must apply sustained pressure against the edge of the screen for a set length of time in order to reveal the launcher. Brushing on the side of the screen, or placing the cursor against the side of the screen should not reveal the Launcher.
- The 'top left' Launcher reveal stays (it does not conflict with the 'left of screen' Launcher reveal and is a complementary interaction).
- When the Launcher is hidden and a App issues an alert, the App icon should pop out and wobble from it's position in the Launcher. With the 'left of screen' Launcher reveal enabled, when the user moves their cursor to the position where the App icon pop'ed out, the Launcher will reveal giving the user direct access to the app.
(Note: this interaction was previously removed because it didn't work with the 'top left' reveal. When the user went back to where the icon had popped out of the Launcher, the Launcher didn't slide out leaving the user confused. With the change to the 'left of screen' Launcher reveal this app alert interaction can return. )
- When a application alert is outstanding, a blue triangle appears in the top left of the screen. The BFB no longer changes color. See attached design.
If the user changes the Launcher reveal setting to 'only top left corner' in appearance properties, the following changes happen:
- 'left of screen' Launcher reveal is disabled.
- The alert 'app icon pop out' behavior is disabled.

The launcher is already revealed with an empty desktop, or when windows don't cover the launcher area, so people should know that it's there already? FWIW, I don't consider this important enough to change the general behaviour at this late point, but I don't veto it as long as it really doesn't trigger unexpectedly (bugs like bug 754690 are really quite unexpected and annoying). What is the timeout you had in mind?
NACK from my side about changing gnome-appearanc
* It's a very intrusive patch to maintain (due to changing the GtkBuilder file), and won't port well/at all to GNOME 3 next cycle.
* It introduces several new strings which need to be translated (we'll only get poor coverage in the remaining two weeks)
* It introduces new variables and options which make it once again harder to test.
* I question the value of providing the option in the first place: If this launcher activation gets too much in the way, the screen side reveal should be disabled or be made more resistant. If it's not getting in the way, we shouldn't have the option.
* We don't provide options for other Unity behaviour which are _far_ more important, such as reenabling the system tray, or making the Launcher appear when you move the mouse anywhere in the left panel area with the Ubuntu icon. Especially the latter behaviour is so confusing, perhaps this would be a better thing to address first?

In my opinion, using only this pressure policy will introduce a constant unwanted delay. I suggest adding to that a momentum-based approach that recognizes whether the mouse was placed or thrown by analysing its speed and acceleration.
I'm aware that this does not cover the case where the mouse is already close to the side, as the momentum will be low regardless of what the user does. That's why I'm suggesting using this in *addition* to the pressure policy instead of replacing it.
|Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) wrote : Re: [Bug 754583] Re: UIFe: Launcher - update launcher reveal interaction to make it more accessible to first time users
We are doing user testing of the existing code, and this is one of the
key issues. So we are getting this bug discussed and some code written
in anticipation of a final report on that testing.
The challenge is that prior testing showed worse problems in the long
term with edge activation. I am reluctant to make this change so late,
especially since we don't actually have the opportunity to do long term
testing on the edge option either. I thought we could work up the
change, test it, and drop it in later BUT seb correctly points out we
have translation issues etc.
We know that long term muscle memory for corner activation is just as
good as the edge approach.
I think we can move forward based on previous testing, and address this
in Oneiric if needed.

For the: "The 'TOP left' Launcher reveal"
I've found that the way its done in unity2d (current version as of date; natty) feels easier than on unity 3d/compiz.
The goal of the launcher is to switch between opened or pinned apps easier and quicker, so IMHO unity 2d has the lead here.
as for "'LEFT OF SCREEN' reveal", this could open some possibilities.
@John Lea,
apart from the mockup of the "blue triangle at the top" and with the new launcher default behavior of being invoked from the sides, shouldn't the app icons also pop out for attention for a second or two like they used to?
That seemed to had worked well IMO, and probably more so with this new reveal behavior.
User sees Icon pop and knows immediately which app is it. If interested, then places mouse on the side to reveal the launcher.
The blue triangle at the top alone doesn't really give much info from multiple apps that may require attention.
Another problem i noticed is that once launcher is invoked, Is pretty hard to notice which app is the one requesting attention because those little blue indicator arrows are too subtle. I believe the entire icon should glow.
|Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) wrote :
John I don't think that little blue triangle will be noticed by most users. In fact it may even be less visible than the current aqua BFB indicator thing.
|John T. Folden (john-t-folden) wrote :
I think 'LEFT OF SCREEN' REVEAL is a boost to efficiency and will greatly improve the desktop experience. If a user wants to open an app via the launcher, they can aim directly for where that icon will be when the launcher slides into view.
As it is now, a user must move the cursor to the top left of the screen and then down to the desired icon. This requires unnecessary mouse travel, particularly when the icon they're aiming for could be at the other end of the screen.
Allowing app icons to 'pop out' when attention is needed is, also, a big improvement over change of color in the BFB (given that provides absolutely NO clue to which app needs the attention).

Not really, as there will inevitably be a necessary delay until it
opens, otherwise it'll get too much in the way.

... Windows key! Windows key! :-)
|John T. Folden (john-t-folden) wrote :
Matt, throwing the mouse at the left edge, even with any necessary-but-short delay is still less time/work for the user than the currently inefficient method.
Also, having to resort to the keyboard to overcome this issue is not a valid workaround, imo. A user should not have to resort to bandaids in their workflow.

You seem to be forgetting that accessing an icon launcher is a two-phase approach:
1 - revealing the launcher
2 - going to the icon
Your assumption above is valid for (1) but not for (2), because (2) does not benefit from Fitt's law and thus distance matters. Imagine a user with a large monitor wanting to access the Trash.

Trash is very easy, in fact, since *both* targets are effectively
infinite in size. By design ;-)
More difficult is an icon somewhere along the length of the launcher.
But the muscle memory then is for the motion from the top left corner to
the icon in question, which is always consistent.
|Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) wrote :
So, the official position now is we have the left-edge invocation for
testing. We are looking for false positives and other problems. We will
decide the default behaviour in due course, but we will retain the UI
for the option for Natty either way.
|Conscious User (conscioususer) wrote :
Okay, allow me to rephrase: your assumption is valid for *muscle memory* but not for *efficiency*. Trash does benefit from infinite size, but that does not change the fact that the corner approach requires two movements instead of just one.
Not to mention that hovering through all the icons to reach the one you want will activate all the tooltips in the way, which is quite distracting.
|Jason Warner (jasoncwarner) wrote :
I'm loving this feature. I think it adds quite a bit and makes the launcher just that much more discoverable for newbies.
Two small suggestions:
1. The wording in the options dialog might read better as:
Show the launcher when the pointer:
[ ] Pushes left edge or top left corner of the screen
[ ] Touches top left corner of the screen only
2. I'm assuming there is a timeout on the left-edge behavior. Initial launcher show feels a tad sluggish. Perhaps lowering timeout threshold.
|Didier Roche (didrocks) wrote :
Hey Jason,
Just a small note on the impact on 1.:
We sent yesterday the .pot tempate file and processed the string freeze break so that the translator can have some time to translate. So we need to keep that in mind if we are going to rephrase (we already changed a lot of strings after the freeze and I hope we are going to have a fully translated Unity in all major language).
|Martin Pitt (pitti) wrote :
Could we please make the new dialog halfway HIG friendly, and add a close button?
|manny (estelar57) wrote :
the new behavior is an improvement, but i already found a problem with the flow.
the problem is with the folding and unfolding of icons.
when an App icon Pops-out and wobbles, you move your mouse to that area, but if its Folded, ALL the icons Unfold (taking space) and the icon you want moves from its position and gets dragged down...
This is serious usability because most of the time the icon you want moves away or disappears from view and you will need to scroll to find it, specially on smaller monitors and netbooks (or depending on number of items on launcher at the moment or launcher size).
I've already submitted a while ago a bug report on this behavior, but it hasnt been really looked at yet.
|Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) wrote :
Jason, the top left corner is part of the left edge. That's why I didn't mention it separately.
Martin, the window already has a close button. The Gnome 3 "System Settings" panes, of which this would eventually become one, don't have redundant "Close" buttons either.

"I'm getting a high number of accidental reveals when reaching for my browser's back button on a trackpad."
am seeing this too.
Also i keep forgetting that the launcher is there hidden, so i often leave my mouse at the left border...
and i think a lot of new users will not even know where the launcher went...
possible solution:
We need some visual reminder that the launcher is there in order to minimize the false positives. The launcher could visually stick out 4 or 5 pixels.
Other than a reminder, also serves as a "visual limiter" to indicate that you should not cross that area unless you want it revealed. It should also create enough extra space to avoid accidental move of the trackpad to that area when all the user wants to hit is the browser back button.
|manny (estelar57) wrote :
oh and about the blue triangle alert.
If the "visual limiter/border" is implemented (as mentioned on my last post), this blue glow alert can be moved to the limiter/border itself (or just the areas where attention is needed).
this would work better for the current default reveal behavior.
|manny (estelar57) wrote :
here is a quick mockup i placed together with what am referring to.
-the browser back button is now further away from the screen edge
-the alerts now stay visible where they originated. Specially Useful when you have more than 1 alert. Less confusion.
-placing pointer on the visual limit/border will not reveal the launcher, will only happen when mouse reaches the screen edge and stays there for a few seconds. Less prone to false positives.
Am not very good at mockups, so hope it makes sense. Thanks.
|John T. Folden (john-t-folden) wrote :
Perhaps a better solution would be to disable the "trigger" on the first 50pixels (or whatever) of the left edge when a window is maximized. This way the launcher would never be triggered when a user was actually aiming for the left most toolbar button in a maximized window.
I don't believe we need a visual indicator when the launcher is hidden, that seems to defeat the purpose and adds ugly screen clutter.
As far as alerts go, I seem to recall there was discussion that the icon of the app needing attention would "pop out" from the left edge when the launcher was hidden.
|manny (estelar57) wrote :
@John T. Folden
-50px: hm, the 50px might solve the problem for some, but will create confusion for others, who will be clueless as to why the launcher is not revealing. And to launch the first icon, you would need to point your mouse somewhere else. Some might even think something is wrong with their system or that this is a bug. The idea is creative (out of the box), but it still has those flaws.
-visual indication: for those that dont need the indication, they could disable it or set the pixels to 0, maybe add more pixels if they want to. 100% would be equal to launcher "always visible". Anyway 4 or 5px on a transparent launcher is barely noticeable, unless there is an alert (which is what we want people to notice the most).
-Alerts: they do pop out for a split second. That is and looks good. But the blue triangle at the top makes people target their mouse to that area instead of where the alert was originated, so they get 2 alerts in 2 different places for 1 app, thanks to the blue triangle...
for top left reveal behavior is ok, but for the "left edge reveal" it can be confusing.
Anyway, this is design in process, unity has still a way to go, so any idea is welcome to be discussed.

I previously wrote about the Facebook Vanity URL opportunity for SMBs and then was informed that Facebook Pages were required to have 1K fans to be eligible. That's apparently not/no longer true, according to Inside Facebook:
However, as many Page owners have discovered, if your Facebook Page has less than 1,000 fans or was created after May 31, your Page won't be eligible to get a vanity URL starting tonight. Instead, Facebook says you'll have to wait until Sunday, June 28 to get a vanity URL for your Page.
Why is Facebook enforcing this rule? Essentially, to mitigate squatting. Facebook wants to make sure every vanity URL that gets registered in the system is authentic, and has put these restrictions in place to prevent speculators from creating thousands of Pages in order to squat on vanity URLs. However, this rule will delay legitimate Page owners with less than 1,000 fans from getting a vanity URL for two weeks as well.
Small business owners that have Facebook pages should register a Vanity URL that matches the business name. (The can also have separate personal pages.) Longer term this could turn out to be quite an important and effective marketing tool.

Showcased Writer: Julian Hoffman
"Trinkets" Published in Silk Road No. 11
Julian Hoffman was born in England and grew up in Canada. Since 2000, he and his wife have lived in a mountain village beside the Prespa Lakes in northern Greece. His book, The Small Heart of Things: Being at Home in a Beckoning World, was chosen by Terry Tempest Williams as the winner of the 2012 AWP Award Series for Creative Nonfiction. His short stories and essays have recently appeared in EarthLines, Southern Humanities Review, Kyoto Journal, and The Briar Cliff Review. He is currently working on a collection of short stories entitled All the Places We Never Went. You can find out more about Julian at his blog, Notes from Near and Far.
What originally inspired you to write a story that incorporated parts of Yugoslavian history?
A couple of things sparked this story. The first was having a Slovenian friend visit us in northern Greece where my wife and I live. The lake we live beside is shared by three countries – Greece, Albania, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYR of Macedonia) – and one afternoon the three of us went down for a swim. There in the water, our friend, who lived some 1,200 kilometres north of us, looked over at the first village that you can see in FYR of Macedonia, just the other side of the invisible border that runs through the lake, and said: "Wow. That was my country at one time."
Returning home, our friend would travel back through a number of different, independent states that only a few years earlier had all been one. In the 1990s, Yugoslavia – which simply means South Slavs – became a byword for atrocities and ethnic strife, yet for many decades it was an extraordinary (for right or wrong) project of nation-building that brought together Croats, Serbs, Slovenians, Bosnians, Kosovars, Montenegrins and Macedonians into one country. My friend's comment reminded me that for a lot of people the splintering of Yugoslavia dismantled their sense of place, allegiance and identity.
The second spark for the story was travelling to Skopje, the capital of FYR of Macedonia, and seeing its old railway station, parts of which had somehow survived the awful 1963 earthquake that destroyed so much of the city, killed over a thousand people, and left 200,000 homeless. The railway clock still marks the terrible moment of loss and destruction – 5:17AM – having never moved forward a single second since that day. When I saw the hour and minute hands suspended in time like that, I knew it needed to be a part of the story.
How did you decide to write a character whose life and desires are so based in preserving the past?
I began exploring Skopje a little bit more with each visit, delving into the old bazaar and seeking out of the artefacts of its past while walking around the modern city built from the ruins of the old after the earthquake. One day I passed a small office in one of the city streets. Through the large glass windows I could see two middle-aged men sitting in a room surrounded by photos of Marshal Tito, the former leader of Yugoslavia, alongside books by him and other Communist politicians and thinkers. I was fascinated by this place and the small Yugoslavian Communist flags that were flown from a table outside that signaled another, now non-existent, country and era. I kept asking myself: Who were these men? How did they go about their lives in this new country? Who were these citizens who believed so deeply in the old system? Through the character of Vlado, I wanted to explore these questions. Much has been said about the violence of the Yugoslavian wars, but I wanted to write about a different kind of conflict, the inner struggle between old and new, between two differing political philosophies.
Which side are you on when it comes to preserving the past or embracing the future?
For me it's not a question of one or the other, but rather to ask what kind of a future we're embracing and what kind of a past we're preserving. I look ahead and see a future of climate change and species extinction because of the way we live our lives, yet at the same time I see a greater degree of social justice and equality than we've experienced in the past, including beneficial advances in science and medicine. There's value in preserving aspects of the past, but other parts of it we've thankfully left behind. I don't think past and future are mutually exclusive ideas. They are simply the brackets around the choices we make today.
What was your approach to writing a story about the juxtaposition between the past and future?
Before I could write about the past I had to begin learning the city's history. I didn't know anything at all about Skopje before I moved to the region. While reading about the place, I discovered that the city had been the focus of much of the world's attention at the time of the earthquake. John-Paul Sartre spoke out, saying "Skopje is not a film, not a thriller where we guess the chief event. It is a concentration of man's struggle for freedom, with a result which inspires further struggles and no acceptance of defeat." John F. Kennedy authorized the U.S. Department of Defense to send members of the 8th Army there to provide assistance to the injured and homeless. The Italian novelist Alberto Moravia famously said that "Skopje is the responsibility of all of us," that one day we might all "become Skopjians." Artists including Pablo Picasso donated paintings in the aftermath when the city was in the process of restoring its museums and other cultural sites, and countries such as Romania, Mexico and the UK gave considerable aid in the vast job of reconstruction. And yet, within years, the city had slipped from the world's view again, like so many places around us. Despite today's headlines, will we remember the Kurdish Syrian city of Kobani in a few years' time? Julia Whitty writes that, "For all the stories we come to know, however obliquely, thousands more are lost forever." As a writer, there are deep layers of history – personal, public and political – to excavate and sift through in any place we choose, whether it's somewhere famous and far away, or nearby and nearly forgotten. There's much in the world that needs remembering.
What do you draw upon for inspiration when you're writing?
The infinite possibilities of place. That, together with the natural world, is my sustaining inspiration. As Alix Kates writes: "Within walking distance of any spot on Earth there's probably more than enough mystery to investigate in a lifetime."

By Arlene Goldbard, Chief Policy Wonk
We're excited. Really excited. In a little over three months, Citizen Artists from across the U.S. will be converging on St. Louis for the USDAC's first-ever national convening, CULTURE/SHIFT 2016. Registration is now open and space is limited, so sign up today at the early bird price.
The USDAC is working in partnership with the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission—the RAC's Community Arts Training Institute is justly admired for the quality and longevity of its work—to produce this November 17-19 event. Our aim has been to design a gathering that offers deep learning, real connection, tons of fun, and enough inspiration to bring home to last you all year. Here are just a few highlights:
- An opening ritual that honors the land, the ancestors, the assembled, and our overall intention of achieving the nth degree of serious play in pursuit of cultural democracy.
- A first-person guide to the region and culture, from Ferguson to both sides of the Delmar Loop, created by local artists and activists.
- Hands-on artmaking experiences that invite you to add your own voice and vision to collective creation.
- The launch of the USDAC's full Cultural Policy Platform, inaugurating the national culture-shifting conversation that needs to underpin real change.
- A remarkable mix of workshops, design labs, presentations, and interactive learning offered by USDAC National Cabinet members such as T. Lulani Arquette, Catalyst for Native Creative Potential, Lily Yeh, Urban Alchemist, Roberto Bedoya, Secretary of Belonging, and Makani Themba, Minister of Revolutionary Imagination; plus folks like Antoinette Carroll of St. Louis' Creative Reaction Lab and Cultural Agent Sarah Boddy!
We're using a structure that tags sessions four ways: People, Policy, Play, and Art&. Every participant is free to choose whether to stick with one theme or skip around.
Personally, I'm really excited about the policy series (we're calling it the Wonk Institute) dedicated to creating policies and programs that make cultural democracy real. It starts with foundational wonk lore—definitions, formative ideas, brief history, and elements that make up cultural policy here and around the world—then drills down into experiences such as:
- designing a 21st Century Culture Corps with Chief Instigator Adam Horowitz;
- looking at cultural equity from all angles with Carlton Turner, Minister of Creative Southern Strategies; and
- exploring practical ways to put culture on city agendas with Caron Atlas, Minister of Naturally Occurring Cultural Districts.
Meeting less than two weeks after the Presidential election, the timing couldn't be more opportune. No matter what happens at the ballot-box, we'll be together, turning our energy to all the ways we can join forces to generate and amplify creative strategies for change. If you've taken part in USDAC activities so far, you know that meeting online is a mainstay: user-friendly and cost-efficient, to be sure. But here are some of the things you can't do online:
- Finally meet those great people you've connected with in Citizen Artist Salons or as Cultural Agents in the flesh! Hug like you're long-lost buddies, hang out together knowing you don't have to log off in a few minutes, dream and scheme at leisure.
- Sign up to present an 18-minute FRED Talk (stay tuned for details).
- Take the time to ponder the big questions: How can we galvanize support for culture that cultivates empathy, equity, and social imagination? What are the leverage points for shifting from a consumer culture rooted in isolation and inequality to a creator culture rooted in community and equity? How does shift happen and what can we do to help it along?
- Sing your heart out with Citizen Artists from across the U.S.
Register today! We'll be keeping you updated regularly. We're all looking forward to seeing you in St. Louis!

Nearly 100, LSD's Father Ponders His 'Problem Child' - New York Times:
His work on ergot produced several important drugs, including a compound still in use to prevent hemorrhaging after childbirth. But it was the 25th compound that he synthesized, lysergic acid diethylamide, that was to have the greatest impact. When he first created it in 1938, the drug yielded no significant pharmacological results. But when his work on ergot was completed, he decided to go back to LSD-25, hoping that improved tests could detect the stimulating effect on the body's circulatory system that he had expected from it. It was as he was synthesizing the drug on a Friday afternoon in April 1943 that he first experienced the altered state of consciousness for which it became famous. "Immediately, I recognized it as the same experience I had had as a child," he said. "I didn't know what caused it, but I knew that it was important."
When he returned to his lab the next Monday, he tried to identify the source of his experience, believing first that it had come from the fumes of a chloroform-like solvent he had been using. Inhaling the fumes produced no effect, though, and he realized he must have somehow ingested a trace of LSD. "LSD spoke to me," Mr. Hofmann said with an amused, animated smile. "He came to me and said, 'You must find me.' He told me, 'Don't give me to the pharmacologist, he won't find anything.' "

The final time The Artist Formerly Known As My Wife and myself went out to a restaurant we talked about what would happen now that we were officially separating. She talked with much zeal about how she was going to exercise her promiscuity and grab a hold of as many and as varied sexual encounters as she could. Good for her.
I said I was going to become a Monk.
I meant it too.
I have often heard others talk of this calling; of the need to remove yourself from the relational shelf once a relationship goes tits up. My current partner, El Cohen has expressed that if we were to break up she would join a nunnery and I too have said much the same (though perhaps not a nunnery for me as that would most likely cause far more problems than it would solve… or conceivably solve a few).
It is a powerful notion to choose such a strict lifestyle in the face of what is sometimes a crushing defeat. It has a lot to do with control. It's like a straight edge movement for the more mature student. It is a fuck you, a refusal of all those baser connections and desires that leave you tied to your past and the person who has peed all over it. It is a way of wrapping yourself in an armour of abstinence, ensuring that the enemy will not get in the same way twice.
Or perhaps you just think you'll never get laid again.
Either way, there is something incredibly calming about the thought of rising five minutes before you go to sleep to sweep twigs from a pebble. I am in love with the notion of gathering water from the stream daily using nothing but a broken tea cup and the power of conviction. The thought of draping yourself in various shades of brown and staring into the navel of the universe all day every day is somehow comforting. It is a complete removal of self, a scythe to the penis and all its impulses; a quieting of the mind and its jury of chattering bastards.
The flip side of these rather serene imaginings is to get absolutely shit faced for a period of months while slowly destroying any semblance of normality you may have once fostered. It involves imbibing so much that you not only blot from your memory the pain of your relationships end, but also your name, your address, your shoe size and your standards in sleeping with another person.
It involves wildness and abandon; insanely loud music, decisions of a highly dubious nature and a mania that is only equalled by your air of desperation. It's fun, but the kind of fun that ultimately monkey fucks your brain and leaves you feeling like Mickey Rourke's face.
I don't know if either course really gets you anywhere in the end.
There is only ever the here and now and the slow, long path that will eventually lead you someplace new. Whether you 'Om' along it or vomit into its gutters, it will get you where you want to go eventually.
Life is a ball; a big, fucking, colourful ball and it rolls on regardless.
There is no control whilst upon the ball, there is only how long you can stay on it as your legs spindle like mad and your arms flail and your tongue hangs out the side of your mouth and you look like a twat. The ball will do what it will. All we have to do is have the good sense to allow ourselves to look like the idiots we truly are whilst trying to stay on top of it.
That's all.

Toddlers who want to get their way can be tricky to deal with, especially when they choose to assert their power in a public place. But this one tantrum, which took place in (where else?) the toy aisle at Target, has a happy ending... and now the whole Internet's buzzing about it.
Megan Shufflebarger was shopping at a Target store in Indiana with her children when her daughter Kinley, about to turn 3, spotted a doll she wanted and began loudly demanding it. As her mom tried to explain that they weren't shopping for toys that day, her stubborn daughter wouldn't let up--and other shoppers began to overhear.
One such shopper was Tario Fuller II, a student and football player at Purdue University, who couldn't help but notice Kinley's distress. Suddenly, Fuller walked away from the toy aisle--and came back moments later with a big surprise: that same doll, in a shopping bag, which he had purchased for Kinley. He handed the unexpected gift to the toddler and wished her a very happy birthday.
Awesome Tario Fuller II, keep up the wonderful acts of kindness! A little bit goes a long way.Posted by To Improve The Human Experience on Sunday, October 25, 2015
"I was speechless initially, and had to ask him after he left the aisle if he would come back for a photo," Shufflebarger told ABC News. "I didn't realize until we got to the car that I didn't even know his name."
Mom posted the photo of Tario and Kinley at Target on her Facebook page, and within hours was able to track him down.
"I hope our children remember this for years to come and remember what it means to truly 'pay it forward,'" Shufflebarger added.
We love how one small act meant an unforgettable birthday for a young girl, and a wonderful lesson for all of us.

Again you churn over the bones of the dead
Exploit survivor sorrows
Whilst devouring the hopes of the living.
Its an easy sell.
Another witnesses admits perjury.
On the orders of the Wicked Women herself.
His name is nanu. Or was that nunu?
Having to respond to the White Telegrapher
You wheel him out to meet the press and deny anything is amiss.
Its like one of those crappy Hindi soaps.
Just like Reshma, that miraculous 17 day survivor of the rana plaza disaster.
Wheeled out to bury the news of the May 6th massacre.
A velatrope of images from your showreel.
To seduce the casual observer
In jeans and a t shirt.
Some petrol bombs thrown at vehicles and the drivers die.
If they were american vehicles you would apologise in a showy way.
Not hide behind durura, leaderlessness and optionlessness.
When the mountains shake and the earth herself is inspired to utter what went on upon her,
Will you still be believing your delusions?

Arizona: Wonderful light here and there.
Like any photography at around sunset or sunrise, it's a unique and wonderful time to take photos. The sky of Arizona turns into a mixture of strong blue with deep yellow. The yellow casts a tint to everything around making it seemingly glow. Not often are there clouds, so the true vibrant color is there on the forefront. I stayed out one evening toward the end of sunset and managed … Continue reading

Add-on Flash Light Modifier Roundup (Diffusers)
If you have used add-on flash much, you probably realized that the light directly from the flash can cast harsh light onto your subject. To get around that you can bounce the flash, or use something to soften the light. I have three light modifiers that attach to a standard add-on flash unit that are designed to soften the light. My test today will demonstrate just how much of a … Continue reading
Strobist Quest: Traveling light with add-on flash.
I've never been that motivated to use an external flash when doing the type of photography I usually do. I completely understand the need for additional light in most situations to uniformly expose a scene. I have a Sigma 530 DG Super flash, diffuser, two slave flashes, flash stands, and flash brackets yet I don't use them that often. My primary reason is to avoid extra bulk and to make … Continue reading
