TICTAC art centre' is an alternative art centre in Brussels. It is the new place in the heart of Europe where different arts like dance, painting, costume designing and other visual arts come together and coexist under the same roof.
Located in the center of the city, well communicated by the main train station, metro and bus, David Zambrano and Mat Voorter decided to open an emerging space full of art and inspiration, the place to meet other artists in different disciplines to share and create. Moreover, it will be the main scene where Zambrano continues sharing his pedagogic and artistic work, and he will do it from 2019 until 2028. After more than 30 years travelling the world with his work, Zambrano will have TICTAC art centre as his home.
The transmission of creative methods for performing and visual arts will be the main focus. For that reason, TICTAC is being made up of different areas equipped for all types of needs along three different floors including a big dance studio of 300 square meter, ateliers, a gallery, plus a courtyard to be outside for some fresh rain or sunshine.
The art centre is offered to artists with innovative ideas and who are willing to share them in frames of master classes, workshops, regular classes, raw performances and visual art exhibitions. The activities at the centre will be a flexible and regular schedule allowing unexpected artists who will be passing through the city of Brussels to be able to participate in short notices.
In this way, TICTAC art centre becomes a new meeting spot for the art community, the house that opens its arms and welcomes artists from all over the world, a place of inspiration to share and keep growing together.
For the opening week David Zambrano wrote the following words :
"I have been non stop taking flights almost every week for over 25 years. A year ago I had a thought of making a stop from flying high for 10 years, so I thought I could make a 10 years choreography, from my 60 to 70 years old. The choreography would happen through designing a dance program interconnected with visual arts, especially sewing and drawing, and with a main mission on real time transmission."
I started searching for a piece of land or a big old barn where I could build a very big dance floor. I mentioned my dream to many friends and dance students, and last May 2017, I found the place. A printing company located in the centre of Brussels had to close down and I got approached by the owner's daughter (also a dancer who studied with me before) if I would like to rent it.
The space was just perfect !!! So I said YES to that and signed a 9 years contract.
Big in size for building a dance floor of 300 meters squared. NO COLUMNS but HIGH CEILING(5 meters high). It was well taken care of, and in good conditions.
This is the big importance of the building and this is where everything will be focussed on first instance. Regular dance classes, intensive workshops and improvisation performances will be offered to a general public, and performance artists of all levels on this BIG DANCE FLOOR. We just finished building it!!!
But just to mention that the space has even more to offer. Next to the big dance floor, there was enough space to build sufficient showers and toilets. We just made them too! There is a big dressing room foreseen. Also an area for relaxing, eating and drinking during breaks. All those areas are still under construction, and hopefully ready before the opening week. At the ground floor is still another space which will be transformed in a smaller private studio of dance artist Martin Kilvady (dance artist originally from Slovakia).
David Zambrano - the funder
On the first floor I will have together with my partner Mat Voorter (a Dutch dance artist and costume designer) an atelier for visual arts, as I am painting a lot these days as well, and Voorter will work as a costume designer besides being a dance performer already. Also in this atelier other artist might be welcomed at times to work there.
By the street is still another separate space, which will be transformed in a multi functional small gallery for visual arts and pop up actions.
All those spaces are also under construction at this moment. We really hope to finish with renovations before the opening week.
TICTAC art centre WILL BE AN ALTERNATIVE ART CENTER FOR MANY OF YOU, AND NOT ONLY FOR MY USE.
In this way at my age of almost 60 I can travel less and still keep on transmitting and sharing my approaches of dance like Flying Low, Passing Through and spontaneous improvisational performances, to the international dance community and the dancers living in Brussels, by welcoming them to come to my own big dance studio.
I will also invite other dance artists to come and share their approaches of dance. As well through their teaching as to improvise spontaneously at the events I want to create as well.

I found this fun blackboard like vinyl thingie to put on my door at school. I write up all sorts of things…happy Friday, choose joy, you know stuff like that. This month I have been writing one thing everyday I am grateful for. Some have been very solemn, like veterans, some a little more lighthearted like halo oranges. But I am trying to cultivate gratitude among the kids.
Some days it can be hard to think of something. But when I do stop, practice the pause, and thank Jesus for even the tiniest of blessing, my day goes a whole lot better.
I love Paul's words here to not give up on doing good. To not become weary of spreading the Good News. We may need to slow down at times to rest, but it will pay off to stay in the game.

It was the kind of house I had always dreamed of, but it became a lonely place for me, so I gave myself permission to let it go and move on.
I don't live in the Cypress House anymore, and I am working on being happy where I am. I know it isn't easy and we are all in different stages of life, but we can daily say "thank you" and "I love you." We can appreciate sons, daughters, and grandchildren, the love in our lives, health and home.
We can decide not to think the "if only" thoughts.... "If only I were married, or single, or had more money, or less responsibility, or a new job, retired, or had that nicer house, more or less of anything. For some, if only my parents, or friend, or love were still alive."
What if instead of longing for what is not, or making the people around us feel like they are not enough, we resolve to love the life and jobs we have, love the ones we're with and that are still here, and love the places we live? What if we tell those around us that we appreciate them and show them? Be happy where we are or have the guts to change it, and not make others miserable with disappointment.
I gave myself permission to change my situation several years ago, and today I choose to be happy now, with things just as they are. I can live in this moment, this house, this skin and be happy. I can decide to be happy everyday.
Can you decide to be happy every day? To be happy where you are?
Do you need to move on from something or will you really decide to be content where you are?
Let me know what you think.
Barefoot and writing,

With incredibly high resolutions, and an 80GB hard drive, the iPF685 is an ideal solution for any environment with a need for printing full-color signs, posters, drawings, and other large-format graphics quickly, effortlessly, and with remarkable detail.
A totally revamped, environmentally-conscious design with fully front-accessible operations allows for outstanding ease-of-use and flush wall installation in any environment. From loading paper to navigating through an intuitive designed control panel, the iPF685 simplifies large format printing. And with accounting functionality, a sub-ink tank system, and Gigabit Ethernet support, this printer achieves exceptionally high measures of productivity. Combined with its impressive speed, precision and high quality output, the imagePROGRAF iPF685 is the premier printing solution for the technical documents market.
High-Speed Printing L-COA processor
Output a D-size (24″x36″) drawing in approximately 28 seconds*. When you need to keep projects moving forward and meet deadlines, this kind of speed is critical. Powering these incredible print speeds is Canon's L-COA (Large Format Printer COmmon Architecture) print controller, driving the imagePROGRAF print engine to lay down ink with exceptional speed and precision. This unique, high-speed processor enables the print system to process large volumes of data while optimizing output of complex high-color GIS images and architectural renderings for maximum readability and color accuracy.
*When printing in fast mode on plain paper. Includes paper-cutting time.
Space-saving, Environmentally-conscious Design
This printer was designed to be space-saving and environmentally conscious. This printer carries a small footprint with fully front-accessible operation for flush wall installation that fits into almost any environment. Also, loading roll media is simple with built-in loading guide rails and an automatic roll feeder. Made with less plastic, and reduced CO2 emissions, this model has earned ENERGY STAR qualification, and draws only 140 watts of power during use.
Productivity Print Longer without Interruption
Canon's unique sub-ink tank system means you can replace ink on-the-fly without stopping the printer. For long print runs, a high-capacity media basket comes standard with this printer. And its highly durable self-propelled dual rotary cutter allows for even faster printing of multi-page jobs.
Precision Printing High-Density PF-04 Print Head
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, this printer boasts Canon's latest print-head technology to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The new PF-04 print head incorporates a new nozzle shape to reduce satellite ink, producing cleaner lines and text, and minimizing mist. The high-precision, high-density print head, with a total of 15,360 nozzles, lays down 4 picoliter-size ink droplets that produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The result is consistently accurate 2400 x 1200 dpi output with fine lines that are accurate to ±0.10% and as thin as 0.02mm.
160GB Hard Drive
A built-in 160GB hard drive within the printer increases productivity by relieving workload from the host PC, while providing a large capacity for print job data storage, and retrieval. This 160GB hard drive enables job data to be stored in protected mailboxes for easy access via web browser or at the printer for job re-printing. The embedded hard disk is ideal for medium to large workgroups to share a printer efficiently with multiple users, offering ample job storage space.
Print Job Accounting Manager
Keep track of costs and allocate consumable expenses to projects more easily with the Print Job Accounting function. This management tool allows you to track print jobs by user to calculate ink and media costs, and the number of pages printed.
Accounting features:
Auto Rotation
Auto NestingLog Recording TimeJob NameClient Job IDClient Job Submission TimeJob Execution TimeJob Completion TimeJob Completion State Ink consumption per job*Media TypeNumber of completed pagesMedia consumption area per jobExtended Media type *Ink usage is estimate, and error tolerance is ±15%
Economy Print Mode
Reduce total ink consumption by utilizing the Economy Print Mode for producing draft prints on select media. This feature regulates the use of all inks to produce quick check plots while minimizing the cost per print.
Reactive Ink System
Ideal for technical applications, Canon's breakthrough 5-color dye/pigment Reactive Ink technology utilizes four highly colorfast dye inks for producing bold, expressive color, plus two channels of matte black ink for printing precise lines, smooth curves, and small text on technical and office documents. Now with new magenta ink for richer, more vivid reds, this ink system is ideal for both GIS drawings and posters. These Canon inks provide superior adhesion to media, scratch and marker resistance, and ensure minimal "bleeding" between colors and text. Even small text printed on colored backgrounds or on uncoated technical papers is crisp and legible.
HDI Driver
With the Canon HDI Driver for AutoCAD application, the driver creates a vector graphical representation of the printed data. Here, points are defined and a curved line is calculated mathematically in order to achieve precision. The HDI Driver creates a graphically accurate drawing of the printed data.

This Ted Talks is subtitled in English.
"You can kick Jorge Ramos out of your press conference (as Donald Trump infamously did in 2015), but you can never silence him. A reporter for more than 30 years, Ramos believes that a journalist's responsibility is to question and challenge those in power. In this compelling talk — which earned him a standing ovation midway through — Ramos explains why, in certain circumstances, he believes journalists must take sides." (In Spanish with English subtitles.)
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by the editors on the Ted Talks home page.
Jorge Ramos's work covers the issues that affect the 55 million Latinos in the United States and immigrants all over the world.

From its classy-but-warmly-Texan outpost on Loop 1604, Roaring Fork attracts crowds despite remaining a relatively underwhelming eating experience.
You'll no doubt hear much about the "Big-Ass Burger," which about two-thirds of diners seem to be eating at any given moment. Although it's not one of the top burgers in town, it's pretty good-ass (or at least decent-ass). The beef is juicy and wisely paired with bacon, cheddar, and more.
The bread basket is a treasure, with crisply crusted baguettes and currant-laden cornbread muffins. Green chile pork stew is served in its own cast-iron crockpot. It's also hard to go wrong with white-wine-and-jack-cheese fondue, although its dipping partners—lamb chops and pumpkin—seem a bit too upmarket. Salads have always been a strong suit here; good news if you aren't into all that cheesy meat.
As the menu gets more complex, it gets less successful. Our favorite mains are grilled and roasted meats such as the luscious pork shoulder "carnitas." But seafood underwhelms, drowned in intensely flavored sauces like teriyaki-BBQ. Ribs, depending on your luck, can be tough and dry or divine. The wines are of the expense account genre—another reason we'd really only recommend dining here at happy hour (4–7 daily).

There's no two ways about it — it pays to have friends that are beautiful. It's even better when you can draw them. Does it sound like I'm gloating? Good, because I am. Every artist has certain things that they love to draw over and over; I'm no different. As an artist, the one weakness that I have is women. I absolutely adore drawing them. I attribute this to growing up admiring the work of people like Alberto Vargas, Alphonse Mucha, and Sir Edward Burne-Jones amongst many others. These men shaped my idea of what beauty is and I have aspired to capturing some of that in my own work ever since.
Recently, I decided that I was going to start doing a series of female portraits in a variety of media. I've had this idea for years, but for whatever reason I had not taken any action to making it a reality. At this stage in my life I simply don't have time to put projects off anymore. As I've gotten older, I've come to understand that my time here is limited and that all that matters is doing as much work as I can. Fortunately, I'm blessed to have lots of beautiful, smart, and talented women that I'm lucky enough to call friends. They each have unique and wonderful qualities that will make excellent challenges for me to capture. Doing this series will also allow me to work with media and techniques that I haven't used in decades. It's not that the techniques are new to me — it's just that I haven't used them in a long time. One by one I'll reacquaint myself with them and reintroduce them into my work. I've always been of the opinion that if you're an artist of any worth, you'll not only be able to draw anything, but you'll be able to do it in a variety of media with equal mastery.
Finally, a word about my friend Jennifer, the subject of my drawing for this post; Jennifer is one of those rare females who simply cannot take a bad photo. Jennifer might highly disagree with me on this, but I think that this is something upon which we can happily agree to disagree. She's graciously allowed me to draw her and I am grateful to her for that. I hope that I do her justice in my efforts. This drawing is just a beginning — there's a lot more great photos of Jennifer that I hope to draw in the near future. Keep an eye out for them because they're sure to be fabulous. Interestingly, Jennifer also inspired the title of this post; the last time I saw her, we talked about an idea for a project that she has in mind and the title of this post is the happy result of our conversation. Thanks Jennifer!

Admedus Ltd (ASX:AHZ) has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with leading healthcare group, Cardiva, to market and supply its ADAPT® tissue products in Spain and Portugal.
Under the agreement, Cardiva will initially distribute Admedus' flagship ADAPT® tissue product CardioCel®, a non-calcifying, non-toxic bio-scaffold used to treat congenital heart defect and disease.
Additional ADAPT® products, VascuCel® and CardioCel 3D®, will be added to the Cardiva distribution portfolio later in the year.
Cardiva is a leading company in the Spanish and Portuguese health system, providing physicians access to a wide range of innovative devices in the areas of interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery and pain management.
Admedus chief operating officer David St Denis said: "Through this partnership with Cardiva, Admedus is thrilled to offer our clinically superior ADAPT® products to patients in Spain and Portugal - one of the five largest markets in Europe.
"With first orders due this month, we anticipate demand in this region to grow steadily as more surgeons are introduced to the unique clinical and health benefits of our ADAPT® technology,"
READ: Admedus secures $6 million to expand medical technologies strategy
Earlier this month, Admedus secured commitments to raise about $6 million from institutional and sophisticated investors in a placement at 30 cents per share.
Funds raised will enable the company to expand and progress its strategic projects, including the acceleration of its product portfolio from development to commercialisation.
Admedus has already submitted multiple patent applications in the US as it targets entry into the lucrative TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) market, currently worth US$3.5 billion and expected to grow to US$5 billion by 2020.
READ: Admedus has healthy mix of reliable Infusion earnings and strong revenue growth from ADAPT
Admedus has also invited existing shareholders to participate in a share purchase plan (SPP).
This offers the opportunity for each shareholder to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of new Admedus shares by Monday, 28 May 2018 at a price of 30 cents per share.

The city's western neighborhoods will benefit from more police protection and a new park, City Commissioner Steve Gonot told more than 100 residents who recently came to a "State of the District" meeting.
Gonot, who pushed last year for more patrols in the western areas of Deerfield Beach, said the Broward Sheriff's Office has assigned six deputies, a sergeant and lieutenant to the new zone, which will cost the city $800,000 a year.
Work may begin on the city's Linear Park west of Powerline Road as soon as September, Gonot said, and eventually bike paths will link Crystal Lake Drive to Green Road and Quiet Waters Park at 401 S. Powerline Road.
Gonot assured residents he would continue to push for what he called a responsible annexation policy by the city.
"Any additional annexation for Deerfield Beach would be in revenue negative areas," he said.
The Tedder, Bonnie Loch and Pompano Highlands neighborhoods still await infrastructure upgrades from the Northern County Neighborhood Improvement Program, Gonot said.
"The county is leaving the baby on the doorstep and not paying child support," he said.
Gonot was lauded for the presentation.
"I think he's doing an outstanding job," said Phil Melone, president of the homeowner's association in Independence Bay, where the meeting was held.
Melone praised Gonot's attempts to keep residents informed.
"There were lot of questions, a lot of answers [at the meeting]," Melone said. "Nothing left in the dark."
Gonot also gave an update on motorized scooters, which have brought dozens of complaints from residents irked by the noise.
The city has been looking at ways to regulate the use of the scooters and on Tuesday night set an April 8 public hearing to approve a new law controlling the motorbikes.
Gonot, who lives in the Pines of Deer Creek, said his own children, ages 10 and 16, have asked to own a scooter. "I said heck no. They are not getting them," he said.
Gonot will next meet with constituents at 7 p.m. May 22 at Constitution Park, 2841W. Hillsboro Blvd.

Articles in this issue of WACC's Media Development Journal are based on papers by the Global Alliance for Media and Gender (GAMAG) developed in preparation for the 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (2018).

The Global Media Monitoring Project is a collective story and shared commitment of hundreds of people across the world, coming together on an ordinary day, every five years, in order to monitor, document, and analyze the role and image of women across the spectrum of news media.
Dear editors, reporters, anchors of news organizations, bloggers,
I am writing to you with a personal invitation from UN Women. On 25 November, we will commemorate the International Day to End Violence against Women. It will kick off 16 days of global activism, until 10 December, to halt this gross violation of women's human rights that affects at least 1 in 3 women and girls worldwide. It is a pandemic that we must stop. To do so, we need your help.
News media monitoring study by Women for Women's Rights, Palestine, shows that women are vastly under-represented as journalists and in content. "Palestinian women are portrayed … as oppressed, incompetent, exploited, incapable, and unappreciated. They are not viewed as empowered partners in social and economic development. In fact, women who are capable and successful are rarely invited to actively participate in development and share their stories of success".

Life After Divorce: Get your Finances on Track
November 23, 2012 | Posted by: Laurie Anne Faulkner
Financing After a Divorce?
Can I get a mortgage on my own? Can I afford to keep the family home? What do I need to do to organize this? Getting back on your feet emotionally after a separation or divorce is hard enough. Add in the stress of taking over the financial obligations if you haven't been the one dealing with this thru out your marriage or trying to see how you will fair with only one income can be overwhelming. I can help.
By sitting with you and looking at your what financial situation will be once your agreement is settled, you will be able to determine what you can afford for a new home, what your new monthly costs will be and how to move ahead with your new life. Please have a look at the article by Gail from Insight for more information and call me if you would like to look at your future financial options.
Life after divorce: Get your finances on track
And the financial lives of Canadians are becoming ever-more entwined. According to a recent survey from TD Canada Trust:
- 68 per cent of Canadians in a serious relationship have a joint bank account
- 64 per cent have a shared financial plan
- 52 per cent have a joint credit card
- 72 per cent own a home together
Nearly a quarter of divorce proceedings last longer than two years, which makes it increasingly crucial for newly-single Canadians to regain financial stabilityas soon as possible after a split. 'It's important for newly-single Canadians to stabilize their financial situation after a break-up so that they don't start taking on debt,' says TD Canada Trust senior vice president John Tracy.
There are several steps people can take to ensure their finances are intact when their relationship isn't.
The style of breakup
Jim Doyle, senior financial consultant with Vancouver's Investors Group, says for those just about to embark on divorce proceedings, it's important to look at various approaches: a litigious model, a collaborative approach or a mediated process.
'How you choose to enter into that process has a significant effect on how you come out the other end,' Doyle says. 'Imagine a litigious type of scenario. Your spouse and yourself end up with agreements that are typically not entirely desired by either side, and the situation is kind of forced onto you.
'A collaborative approach, where you're able to talk through the situation and bring in divorce coaches to help keep emotions at bay, helps keep conversation going and you can see what the results are going to look like.'
Online tools such as My Support Calculator can give a clear sense of financial obligations for alimony and child-support payments.
Understand your position
With joint assets and liabilities, it's vital to work out their division and be completely clear on what liabilities you'll be responsible for. It's not just enough to break things down into 'who gets what' but to look at the long-term consequences of those divisions.
'What is often asked for may result in one party ending up financially destitute and the other enjoying financial enhancements. Explorations of consequences of divisions are essentials,' Doyle says.
Be sure that future expenses, such as the cost of kids' education, are taken into account as well, Doyle adds.
Move forward slowly
'Recognize there are a ton of emotions, and anytime you make financial decisions when emotions are involved, you might not be making the clearest choices,' Doyle says. 'Avoid unrealistic expectations.'
For instance, he says it's common for those who have recently split up to want to go out and buy real estate. Doyle suggests taking some time to rent first, even if it's just for a few months, to get a sense of exactly what your new financial picture looks like.
'It might take a little while before you get a pattern established,' he says. 'Divorce is a significant change, and you'll need to determine what your cash flow looks like with new circumstances. What are you new financial priorities? Where is your money going?'
Write it down
To help get a precise view of cash flow, Doyle suggests tracking expenses.
'You might have been accustomed to spending a certain way, and some expenses might come up as surprise; maybe your partner always paid the car insurance or property taxes.'
Tracking expenses also helps with establishing a budget and sticking to it. Online calculators can help with both.
Benefits matter
It's common for spouse's to co-ordinate employee benefits, especially if one partner has wider coverage, but when you lose your spouse you also lose those benefits. 'If you had benefits through work there may be certain periods when you can re-enroll. This is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of divorce.'
Get help
If your partner was the one who made all the financial decisions, from what types of funds to invest in to how much money got put away every month, and now you're in charge, you might need guidance from a financial planner, advisor or bank representative who's educated in divorce and division of assets.
'If you lost a partner who was your financial ally and now you're making decisions on your own, that can be a daunting task. We see a lot of this with gray divorces,' Doyle notes. 'Find out what your risk profile is. Focus on strengthening your investment knowledge. What are your goals as single person? How important is it that you save for the short-term, intermediate and long-term? What decisions can you comfortably make?'

It is recommended you use the update-site matching the version of Eclipse you use to avoid potential issues at runtime.
If you want to install the new
org.eclipse.sirius.tests feature, which provides APIs to help create automated tests of Sirius-based modelers, you will need to add the following update-site:
Juno users: Sirius depends on more recent versions of some components that what is available by default from a Juno install. You need to add the following update-sites if you want to install Sirius 1.0.0M7 on Juno:
- Orbit: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20140525021250/repository/
- Acceleo 3.4 (or 3.5): http://download.eclipse.org/acceleo/updates/releases/3.4/ (resp. http://download.eclipse.org/acceleo/updates/releases/3.5/)

- Eclipse 3.8/4.2 (Juno)
- Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler)
- Eclipse 4.4 (Luna)
New & Noteworthy
The complete list of tickets fixed in Sirius 2.0.0 can be found here on the Bugzilla.
Ergonomic Improvements on Diagrams
- #443381: When diagram elements are selected, simply hitting the "Escape" key will deselect everything. Before this, it was necessary to click on the diagram's background to disable the selection, but the background is not always visible.
- #443108: A new action is available on diagram edges to "straighten" them, removing all the intermediate bend-points which may have been created by previous manipulations.
- #442289: A new family of actions is available when several elements are selected on a diagram, to distribute them (horizontally or vertically) with uniform spaces between them.
- #441424: When resizing a node of container, the anchor of the incident edges are kept at the same visual location. Before that, the could move proportionally to the resize.
- #438691: It is now possible to select element that intersects the selection rectangle and not that is completely contained by the selection rectangle. This new behavior is enabled when user selects elements from right to left. The normal mode (previous mode) remains when the user selects elements from left to right.
- #437095: The edges appearance is now kept, as much as possible, when one of its extremity is moved. A move of an extremity should move only the closest segment of the edge.
- #437097: The edges appearance is kept as much as possible when a node (container or not) is moved. A move of a node now impacts only the closest segment of the linked edges.
- #441090: When a node, container or not, is resized to the left, upwards, or both, the location of its children (elements inside a container and border nodes) is not changed. It is possible to retrieve the previous behavior by pressing the F3 function key during the resize.
- The "snap to shapes" is now enabled by default (see _Sirius > Sirius Diagram > Rulers and Grid_ preference page). This is true only for new diagrams. The existing diagrams are not impacted.
- The "Navigate" top-level contextual menu entry with mixed actions for creating new representations and opening existing ones has been changed by two top-level menus:
- One named "New", which lists only the available actions to create new representations on the selected element.
- One named "Open", which lists only the existing representations on the selected element.
- When a shape is resized (no matter the direction), the edge(s) connection location (toward or from this one) is kept. Before that, edges connections moved according to the ratio of the resizing.
Example with this initial state before resizing: !images/shapeResize1.png! Result after resizing without this feature (the edges have moved): !images/shapeResize2.png! Result after resizing with this feature (the edges keep the same location): !images/shapeResize3.png!
- There is now the possibility to distribute the selected shapes (see "Sirius User Manual/Diagrams/Features Overview/Distribute elements":user/diagrams/Diagrams.html#distribute for more details):
- The end user can now remove all bend-points between the two edge ends. This action is available on edge context menu "Remove Bend-points" or by using the shortcut "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "-".
- Reconnection of an edge will only now move the minimum necessary bendpoints instead of reseting it to default.
- A new action has been added to reset the diagram origin: the diagram bounds (the rectangle formed by the highest & leftmost and the lowest & rightest elements) can have a negative origin or can be shifted toward the bottom-right with a blank zone at the top-left. This action aims to move all diagram elements so that the diagram retrieves its origin while keeping elements layout.
Performance Improvements
Other Significant Changes
Known Issues
The following important issues are present in the 2.0.0 release. They were identified after the code freeze and could not be fixed in time. If possible (i.e. no API break needed), they will be fixed in 2.0.x maintenance releases.

Viber now lets you remotely delete messages you've sent by mistake
How many times have you sent a message to someone and immediately regretted it? Whether it's in the heat of an argument or just an embarrassing typo, Viber's latest update will make it all okay.
The messaging service is now letting you delete messages on the recipient's phone after you've sent them, whether the person has seen it or not.
I'm surprised more messaging services haven't made this possible by now. It seems like a logical thing to be able to do in an age where we've become accustomed to sharing sensitive information using our phones, often without considering the consequences.
It could certainly be one way of combating revenge porn.
And in a less sexy, more practical, setting, it means that if you need to send someone your bank details or credit card number, you can remotely delete the message after they're done with it.

SWLS IS BACK! Shall we hang out and discuss some new shows?
First of all HAPPY LOST DAY to everyone. Supposedly tonight 3 "secrets" will be revieled tonight. Obviously from the "scenes from next week's Lost" that we saw there is mention of how Jack got his tattoos or perhaps the origin of what the meaning behind them are.I would list "the mystery of Jack's tattoos" at about 453rd on the list of "unansered secrets" that I would like answered. I sure hope the other two things they reveal are higher on my list.I think Alex's boyfriend (cant remember his name) could be a huge source of information if the brainwashing didnt mess him up too much. We will see, only 3 hours and 50 minutes!
forget the all of that other stuff, why the 5?Please nobody say Party of Five!
Cause he counts to 5 and then lets the fear go (at least thats how they worked in the pre existing Tatoo with the story line I think).
5 isnt even one of the numbers. guess there are two jack tattoo flashback episodes.

Klose could face up to two months out if he requires surgery, after failing to respond to treatment that included an injection prior to last week's Championship draw at West Brom.
Alex Tettey is also out of the next three games with a re-occurence of the groin problem suffered at Brentford on New Year's Day.
"A setback for Timm in the middle of the week," said Farke. "He felt pain in his knee. It is a complicated injury, known more as a 'runner's knee' where there is a problem with the friction. He feels pain and went to London to get a course of injections. Right now he is in Switzerland to see a specialist there.
"There is a possibility he needs an operation which would rule him out for six weeks. We want to try and do it in a conservative way, to find some other solutions. We hope we can have him back sooner but he will miss tomorrow and Sheffield. Without doubt a big leader in our defence.
"Bad news with Alex. A muscle injury with his abductor. He felt some pain again after the West Brom game. We scanned it and he is out for three weks. That means Birmingham, Sheffield and Leeds and hopefully back for Ipswich.
"Moritz Leitner is out and still not back in team training. We hope to get him back next week but it seems like he will just join us after Sheffield United. To have these leaders not available is not easy."
Marco Stiepermann (quad) has been passed fit for the Blues' visit and Farke reported no fresh injury concerns with those on duty at The Hawthorns,
The City head coach is weighing up whether the likes of Louis Thompson or Carlton Morris feature on Friday afternoon in a scheduled development run out at Colney.
Ben Marshall departed on loan to Millwall on Wednesday but Ivo Pinto's proposed move to Turkey appears to have stalled. Pinto is back in the UK while talks continue but will not be involved for the Canaries until his future is resolved.

Congress Stands up for the World's Poor in its Budget for 2017
It's $82 million more than last year's budget.
President Trump's proposed cuts to foreign aid have provoked deep concern among many in the humanitarian community and beyond. And for good reason.
America leads the world when it comes to foreign assistance. They are the single biggest contributor of all countries across the globe. To put it in perspective, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) received $1.5 billion of its $4 billion budget from the US last year.
"Multiply that across other humanitarian agencies, like the World Food Programme," stated Richard Gowan, a U.N. expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations, "And you are basically talking about the breakdown of the international humanitarian system as we know it."
America's aid budget not only supports billions of people but plays a critical role in the world's stability in these increasingly volatile times.
"The United States is a global leader, and with growing uncertainty in the world, now is no time to vacate our seat," Rep. Steve Womack, a Republican from Arkansas, explained.

Thankfully the words of Rep. Womack, and the protests from many of his fellow congressmen, did not fall on deaf ears.
On Monday morning, Republicans and Democrats joined together to announce a budget deal for 2017, which largely rejects President Trump's requested cuts and firmly places the United States as the undisputed leader of the world when it comes to foreign assistance. And that deal was just passed today at 2 p.m. ET.
The agreement, which has been called "a bipartisan win for the American people" by Vice President Mike Pence, lays out a budget of $1.6 billion for USAID — an increase of $82 million compared to last year.
Crucially, it also preserves key funding levels for the core issues that Global Citizens have spent the last year relentlessly speaking up on; with $233 million going to polio eradication, $400 million to safe water and sanitation, $275 million for reaching children with life-saving vaccines, $125 million to ending hunger and $800 million will help provide a basic education and a brighter future for the youth of today.
Read more: The Trump Administration Is Planning to Slash UN Program Funding by Half: Report
Other positive news for humanity contained in the deal were the sustained spending on vital services such as a commitment to funding most of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) programs to at least the end of the year and a $2 billion increase in funding for the National Institute of Health — a great outcome considering the Trump administration had sought a $1.2 billion reduction in funding for the agency for the current fiscal year.
Today's announcement is due to the hard work of key members of Congress, from both sides of the aisle, to list just some of the voices that spoke up for the world's poorest: Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX), Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX), Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Senator Chris Coons (D-DE), Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), Senator Todd Young (R-IN), Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Congresswoman Nita Lowey (Dem-NY) and Congressman Dave Reichert (R-WA).
And not forgetting the powerful words of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who stressed the importance of development and diplomacy highlighting that, "many times diplomacy is a lot more effective — and certainly cheaper — than military engagement."
Yet, for this to have been possible it is thanks to global citizens like you who gave US leaders the public pressure — and thus the permission — they needed to make this budget a reality.
Global Citizens took an impressive 137,534 actions to urge the United States government to provide funds for vaccine access, education provision, polio eradication and food to fight famine — a collective effort that is set to affect the lives of at least 45 million of the world's most vulnerable.
To learn how the next year looks for these four core issues that we campaign across to see an end to extreme poverty by 2030, read on.
Life-Saving Vaccines to Touch the Lives of 11 Million
The United States increased funding for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, by $40 million — the amount that Global Citizens — who took 29,923 actions on this issue — demanded. US dollars spent on ensuring children in the world's poorest countries receive life-saving vaccines will go from $235 million in 2016 to $275 million this year. This move that will affect the lives of 11 million people according to our estimates.
This is another critical step in achieving the 2015 pledge made by the Obama administration of $1 billion in funding, for four years, until 2018.
Global Citizen worked closely with key partners like RESULTS and PATH to achieve this outcome. Around the 2016 Global Citizen Festival, 28,250 Global Citizens signed a petition calling on the United States government to increase funding for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance in 2017. Global Citizen also met with key members of congress to build their support for routine immunization.
Global Citizen coordinated with Pfizer to host conversations on the importance of funding for global vaccine programs at the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention. Congressman Phil Roe, Congressman Tom Emmer, Senator Chris Coons, Congressman Earl Blumenauer, and Congresswoman Lois Capps attended Global Citizen's events and stated their strong support for global vaccination programs.
Thrilled to join @GlblCtzn & @pfizer to discuss role of vaccines in global health w/ @RandallLane#savemomandkidspic.twitter.com/HwJ09OF0iS— Senator Chris Coons (@ChrisCoons) July 27, 2016
Further, Global Citizen was proud to join World Vision in hosting important Republican congressional staff members in Senegal to see American maternal and child health programs first hand. The trip allowed staff members to see efforts to increase access to vaccines, protect children against pneumonia and diarrheal disease, and water and sanitation programs first hand.

Water and Sanitation for a Cleaner, Safer World
The United States has maintained funding for water and sanitation programs at $400 million for 2017. Based on past impact data released by the United States government, Global Citizen anticipates that this pledge could impact around 400,000 lives. We are in continuined conversation with USAID to develop a more clear understanding of the lives that will be affected by this announcement.
16,394 Global Citizens signed the petition calling on Congress to increase funding for water and sanitation to $425 million in 2017 — and over 26,000 took actions across 2016 on the issue. In addition, Global Citizens helped to build support for the 2016 "dear colleague letter" which was spearheaded by Rep. Earl Blumenauer to build support for increased funding for water and sanitation programs. Global Citizen was proud to work with partners like the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council, WaterAid America, Millennium Water Alliance, and World Vision to build critical momentum on water and sanitation issues.

Global Education to improve the futures of the world's most vulnerable children
"Whether it is at home or abroad, access to basic education is integral to the foundation of a stable and prosperous society, this is especially true in developing or war-torn countries" and yet, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) explained when introducing the READ Act (S. 623) for basic education to the senate earlier this year, "Every day, millions of children around the world are denied access to basic education, making them vulnerable to poverty, abuse, and extremism."
Global Citizens are well aware of this stark reality, which is why they took over 63,000 actions across the course of 2016 to target the US government to prioritize global education. Joined by our tireless partners RESULTS, the Basic Education Coalition and Global Campaign for Education, we shared your voices in Congress to call for heightened funding for global basic education. Beyond meeting with congressional offices, we also had the opportunity to facilitate a public dialogue between refugees living in Iraq and US Representatives to demonstrate the importance of a quality and safe education for all children.
So we are very pleased to announce that the United States increased funding for the Global Partnership for Education by 15 percent — from $70 million in FY16 to $75 million in FY17. This commitment is meant to help the most marginalized and vulnerable children access an education, and according to our estimates, it is set to affect the lives of an incredible, 21,048,387 individuals. Overall levels of United States international basic education funding have remained the same from FY16 to FY17.

Protection from polio for over 13 million
Funding for polio eradication increased from $228 million in 2016 to $233 million in 2017,with $7.5 million earmarked for vital programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan — two of the last remaining countries where polio still causes preventable deaths.
This is a very promising announcement that will help reach 450 million children in over 690 countries to protect them against polio. US leadership on polio has already spared over 16 million people from polio-related disability. This new commitment should affect the lives of over 13.3 million additional people according to our rough estimates. Global Citizen will remain in contact with the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to confirm the lives impacted by this new funding announcement.
On June 16, Global Citizen joined Rotary International and the United Nations Foundation to host a congressional briefing on polio eradication efforts. With speakers from key organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the briefing demonstrated the importance of polio eradication efforts and addressed why continued funding from the United States was essential to reaching a world without polio.
Thanks to the incredible advocacy from partners like Rotary International and United Nations Foundation's Shot @ Life campaign, and the 31,779 actions taken by Global Citizens on this critical issue, we are closer than ever to a world without polio.

Putting an end to hunger and malnutrition
Further, Global Citizen worked with partners like 1000 Days and Bread for the World to advocate for increased funding for global nutrition programs. Congress approved $125 million in funding for nutrition which represents level funding from 2016.
Image: Global Citizen
Of course, our work here is far from done. Judging by the Trump administration's recent budget proposal — which suggested slashing international affairs budget by 28% — we face much more substantial cuts in 2018, to make up for the recommended $54 billion increase in military spending. If realized, this shift in spending could threaten not simply the millions of people it would pull desperately needed resources from, but the stability of the entire globe.

What?! Maris Pipers (in season now), acorn squashes, chicory and cauliflowers do nothing for you? Though I have some sympathy: as we wave a sombre farewell to the British fresh pea and bean season, I have to confront my morbid fear of the Jerusalem artichokes that dominate the eat-local scene in winter.
But if you're a person who craves strawberries as the nights draw in, you aren't as much of a sustainability refusenik as you might think. According to climate change expert Dr Benito Müller's 2007 research on food miles, western consumers actually have a moral duty to eat strawberries out of season. First he showed how out-of-season produce grown in the UK can involve more food miles than imported goods. Next he argued against the moral folly of shutting out producers from sub-Saharan Africa on the spurious planet-friendly reason that local British food has fewer emissions. UK consumers spend £1m a day on fresh fruit and vegetables from producers in this region — precisely those people disproportionately affected by climate change. Another report calculated that "pulling up the drawbridge" on imports from Africa would reduce total emissions by a paltry 0.1%. Was it worth championing local above these imports?
Not according to organic certifiers the Soil Association. The organisation has allowed air-freighted imports to wear its badge since 2007. Although air-freighting organic produce is bound to upset locavores (those who focus on decreasing the distance from field to fork), there is a logic. Synthetic fertiliser and pesticide production, largely prohibited from organic agriculture, cause significantly more emissions than air freighting.
And there are now opportunities to support Fairtrade through your five-a-day. Fairtrade bean sprouts may sound like the stereotype earth mother's fantasy food, but since last year they are a reality – the Fairtrade Foundation now air-freights beans direct from Kenya and there are plans to extend the range to baby corn, fresh chilli and broccoli.
This is not the same as an unthinking supermarket selling Chinese apples down the road from seasonal orchards in Kent (as happened recently). Neither will imported fruit and veg ever tick all eco boxes – it still relies on oil. But look out for fair miles rather than just food miles and you can keep eating fruit and veg all year around.

text: The analysis of technical surfaces is crucial for the optimization of lubrication, coating or cleaning processes, especially with regard to achieving and assuring better quality of final products. Frequently, the essential requirements for an additional, specific production step cannot be controlled sufficiently, since most laboratory methods provide only limited and randomly appropriate information. Figure 1. Principle of time-integrated fluorescence detection. An efficient inline and online process analysis can, therefore, contribute significantly to the prevention of quality defects. The reduction in production losses saves resources and essentially increases the added value of a process. In principle, the required surface analysis can be divided into two different application areas: first, the monitoring and evaluation of functional coatings, and second, the analysis of surface cleanliness. Common methods — chemical analysis, thermal treatment of product samples with a subsequent gravimetric evaluation, or CO2 (total organic carbon, or TOC) gas analysis — are based on taking product samples. Plasma or mass spectroscopy are vacuum-based methods, where an invasive interaction with the respective surface takes place. Comparatively, optical methods have the big advantage of an analysis without any contact to the surface to be investigated. However, most currently used methods, such as IR-, Raman- or diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, as well as the ellipsometry, are dependent on constant reflection properties of the examined product surface. Furthermore, to determine a surface amount or layer thickness derived from transmission or absorption behavior, an initial intensity is always needed as a reference value. The special time-integrated laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, or LIF(t), technique is a process-analytic, contact-free procedure that allows a nondestructive analysis of the surface cleanliness directly in production processes. The method can also be applied for qualitative and quantitative monitoring of lubrications or other applied functional coatings. Physical and technical principle The basic principle of laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy is the absorption of the exciting laser radiation through the substance to be detected. In this process, an interaction of laser radiation with fluorophore regions in the electron structures of the target molecule takes place. The absorbed energy is re-emitted by the molecules as a new light, the so-called fluorescence, in times on a nanosecond scale (10−9 s). This process is one of the most efficient interactions between light and matter, and it occurs in dependency of the substances involved and substrate media, with measurably different speeds. A statistical registration of the single photons here offers, in comparison to other spectroscopic methods, a detection of very low quantities of material with particularly high sensitivity. Laser emission in the UV spectral range (e.g., 266 or 355 nm) might lead to a fluorescence excitation of the molecules that should be detected (wanted signal), as well as a possible background signal caused by organic matter on the surface below the analytical target. Registering only the spectral intensity distribution of the fluorescence doesn't necessarily lead to a significant separation of the substance spectra. Therefore, a time-integrating approach is included in the procedure to observe the decay times of fluorescence signals in a suitable wavelength range. After each single laser pulse excitation, lasting about 0.5 ns, the time decay of the fluorescence radiation is registered in two appropriately positioned windows. Here, the time-integrated intensity is measured as values I1 and I2 in order to separate the wanted signal from the background, as indicated in Figure 1. In a third time window, positioned about 1 µs after the second one, the ambient light intensity I3 is registered and used to correct the values of I1 and I2. Optical excitation is performed by a specially designed, passively Q-switched UV microchip laser from Teem Photonics SA with a repetition frequency in the range of 11 kHz. Single laser pulses with an emission wavelength of 266 or 355 nm and an average optical output power below 2 mW are generated. These are transferred via a quartz fiber bundle of up to 20 m in length and a probe head directly into the process. Here, a typical output power of 250 µW is used. With a second quartz fiber bundle, the transmission of fluorescence signals to the detector is arranged. Therefore, the corresponding detection head contains no active components, and is suitable to be used in harsh and demanding environmental conditions. If there is a risk of contamination of the fiber optics, automated pollution prevention is ensured by using a compressed air or gas flushing, or appropriate ultrasound techniques. Figure 2 shows examples of three different configurations for various applications of inline surface analysis. Figure 2. Different configurations of detection heads for surface analysis: (a) 90° arrangement for the investigation of walls in boreholes with 2-mm diameter; (b) standard detection head for surface analysis (diameter = 8 mm); (c) standard detection head with compressed-air flushing to ensure an automatic pollution prevention of the fiber optics (diameter = 35 mm). By choosing the configuration and positioning of the probe (distance and angle) with respect to the surface of investigation, the spot size of the effective detection area can be adapted to the process requirements. For a very sensitive detection of single-fluorescence light events (photons), a photomultiplier tube is used. An application-specific wavelength configuration is provided by a special combination of optical filters in front of the detector. Using a statistical single-photon counting method, the detector pulses are evaluated according to the time-integrated method. Via a calibration function, the respective measured quantity is calculated and displayed depending on the application with a high sampling rate of every 10 ms or even every second. Since each single-fluorescence measurement takes place in the nanosecond timescale, the results of surface measurements on moving parts or sheets do not depend on the process speed, which could be more than 2000 m/min. Figure 3 demonstrates schematically the technical implementation of the time-integrated laser-induced fluorescence analysis. Figure 3. Schematic setup of the time-integrated fluorescence detection system. Industrial applications A versatile field of application of coating analysis is the specific detection of lubricants on coil material (single boards), and on prefabricated parts in the steel and aluminum industries. Coil material is customer-specific and lubricated with different kinds of prelubes for the automotive industry. Here, the laser-induced fluorescence detection technique is able to monitor inline and online deviations from the specified layer thickness in a typical range of up to 3 g/m2, and in particular to find possible dry areas with size greater than 15 mm at line speeds of up to 600 m/min. Figure 4a shows a typical installation of a system for simultaneous inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of coil material with a width of up to 2 m. It was integrated in an existing production line. For the measurements, two single detection heads with compressed-air flushing (Figure 2c) are synchronously moved with a travel speed of 0.5 m/s across the surface of the metal strip, and the current local layer thickness is determined quantitatively with a sampling rate of 10 ms. Figure 4b demonstrates typical results for the top and bottom surface, each in separate color gradient plots. The green indicates an optimum accordance with the predefined amount of prelube for the lubrication; the blue color indicates an over-oiling. The red is a warning for dry areas, which in most cases are not observable by a direct visual inspection. Figure 4. Fluorescence detection system for a simultaneous inline and online inspection of the top and bottom sides of lubricated coil material: (a) installation situation and (b) typical presentation of the results in a color gradient graph. Beyond lubrication control, there is a variety of other applications in the field of metal processing, where the inline monitoring of special functional layers might increase the process efficiency, or lead to better, more stable and reliable product quality. Some examples include passivation coatings, lacquers, films, polymers, primers and adhesives. In the metal working industry, large amounts of production additives, such as cooling lubricants, are used to ensure high process reliability in forming or machining production. Residuals of these coatings remain as contaminants on the workpiece surface and will be unavoidably carried over into subsequent process steps. Special manufacturing processes are very sensitive to the surface cleanliness of the working material, such as annealing, bonding, coating, painting, etc. Therefore, in most applications, the workpiece is cleaned prior to further processing. The continuous monitoring and evaluation of technical surfaces concerning residues of process additives and cleaning media is another important application of the fluorescence spectroscopic surface analysis. Figure 5. Typical results for detection of rolling-oil residues on aluminum sheets: (a) color gradient plot of measurement with a two-axis translator and (b) correlation of the fluorescence data to the results of a surface carbon analyzer. In the case of production that uses the rolling process, aluminum, steel or copper sheets are annealed in order to remove remaining rolling oil on the surface. Commonly, customers of an aluminum or copper plant require a leftover of rolling oils and other production media of not more than 5 mg/m2 on the surfaces of their final products. Figure 5 shows the results of such a determination of rolling-oil residues on aluminum sheets. By using a two-axis translator unit, a complete area screening of sample sheets in the size of 100 mm × 100 mm with a spatial resolution of 2 mm is possible in order to determine the distribution of locally varying degrees of contamination (Figure 5a); a comparison of the fluorescence data averaged over the entire sample surface is plotted in Figure 5b. The results were determined subsequent to the fluorescence measurements with a standard surface carbon analyzer, based on the determination of the TOC.
