In the process of urban-rural integration, it is an acute and urgent challenge for the destiny of farmers and the development of village in the urban fringe in the developed area. Based on the “urbanization quality improving” this new perspective and through the analysis of experience and practice of Village renovation of Xi’nan Village of Zengcheng county, this article summarizes the meaning of urbanization quality in developed areas and finds the villages in the urban fringe’s reconstruction strategy. The study shows that as to the distinction of the urbanization of the old and the new areas, the special feature of the re-construction of the villages on the edge of the cities, the government needs to make far-sighted lay-out design and carry out strictly with a high standard in mind. The government must set up social security system, push forward the welfare of the residents, construct a new model of urban-rural relations, attaches great importance to sustainable development, promote the quality of the villagers, maintain regional cultural characters, and form a strong management team. All in all, in the designing and building the regions, great importance must be attached to verified ways and new creative cooperative development mechanism with a powerful leadership and sustainable village construction.

In FPP, it is necessary to retrieve the phase of the measured object before shape profiling. However, traditional phase retrieval techniques often require a large number of fringes, which may generate motion-induced error for dynamic objects. In this paper, a novel phase retrieval technique based on deep learning is proposed, which uses an end-to-end deep convolution neural network to transform a single or two fringes into the phase retrieval required fringes. When the object’s surface is located in a restricted depth, the presented network only requires a single fringe as the input, which otherwise requires two fringes in an unrestricted depth. The proposed phase retrieval technique is first theoretically analyzed, and then numerically and experimentally verified on its applicability for dynamic 3-D measurement. 1. Introduction Dynamic three-dimensional (3-D) has been widely used in applications, such as bio-medicine [1],reverse engineering [2], and face recognition [3], etc.

  • The Stowaway
    Welcome Tell Me A (Shakespeare) Story When I was in college, I did a lot of part-time babysitting. One of my charges, a precocious 5-year-old named Olivia, was the daughter of an English professor of mine. During story time one evening, she chose a children’s book of tales from Shakespeare. While reading A Midsummer Night’s Dream aloud, I mispronounced the name of the fairy queen Titania, and Olivia was quick to correct me. “It’s ti-TAWN-yah,” she said with exasperation. Shakespeare was relatively new to me then. Having come from an underfunded urban public school system to a college where my peers were largely from high-performing schools, I spent a lot of time trying to catch up. I hadn’t expected to find myself challenged by a 5-year-old, however. At the time, I understood Olivia’s early access to Shakespeare to be the privilege of a child born to an academic. But in my role now at CSC, where I constantly preach that Shakespeare is for everyone, why would I draw the line of equity somewhere beyond people of a single-digit age? Because the truth is that a playwright like Shakespeare offers more than a good story or pretty language. Understanding his work brings cultural currency; there are countless references to his work all around us. And a positive experience—especially at an early age, where children are less likely to have preconceptions, and are more receptive to new language— can influence whether a person is fearful of, or looks forward to, future encounters with his work.

  • 2019-06-30 LM Financial Statements AUDITED Final
    LEGAL MOMENTUM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2019 and 2018 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors Legal Momentum New York, New York Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Legal Momentum (the "Organization"), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Organization's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.

  • '"There's More Than One of Everything": Navigating Fringe's Cofactual Multiverse'
    . Volume 13, Issue 1 May 2016 ‘There’s More Than One of Everything’: Navigating Fringe’s cofactual multiverse Casey J. McCormick, McGill University, Montréal, Canada Abstract: This article analyzes how viewers of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013) make sense of the series’ complex science fictional storyworld. It argues that Fringe presents multiple iterations of worlds and characters in a way that encourages ‘cofactual’ interpretation: rather than figuring parallel universes and alternate timelines as ontologically hierarchical, the narrative accommodates all versions of reality and invites viewers to participate in shaping the multiverse. The article offers a close reading of Fringe’s complex narrative structure alongside an exploration of how audiences responded to and impacted the series through fannish practices such as vidding and narrative mapping. It concludes that cofactual narration opens up an array of participatory practices that blur the text/paratext distinction and facilitate interactive storyworld building. Keywords: Complex TV, Fandom, Narrative, Paratexts, Counterfactual, Cofactual, Possible Worlds Cofactual Interpretation By the time viewers reach the series finale of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013), they have travelled across two spatially-distinct universes, three versions of the future, and at least four different timelines, with each world-iteration populated by different versions of the show’s central characters. Through its reinvigoration of science fiction tropes, such as time travel, alternate realities, and temporal resets, Fringe asks viewers to re-evaluate typical models of narrative world-building. The series constructs a multiverse comprised of what I deem cofactual diegetic worlds. I use the term ‘cofactual’ in contradistinction to the more common narrative term ‘counterfactual’ as a means of emphasizing the plurality and simultaneity of diegetic worlds in Fringe.

  • Creating an Omaha Fringe Festival
    Omaha Fringe Festival UNO Theatre Graduate Program Tamar Neumann Creating an Omaha Fringe Festival Project Description: In 1947, after World War II, Edinburgh created an arts festival called Edinburgh International Festival. Eight artists, not invited to perform, showed up anyway and began performing on the fringes of the festival. Each year after that more performers showed up to the festival performing on the fringes, until 1958 when the official Festival Fringe Society was created. When the constitution for the Festival Fringe was written, they made sure to keep the integrity of those first performers by guaranteeing the festival would be a space open to anyone willing to perform. Today, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the biggest Fringe Festival in the world. From their example, artists all over the world have gravitated towards festivals that celebrate the arts in a similar way. A Fringe festival derives its name from those performers who began on the Fringes of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. These festivals are simply a place where artists of all types can come together and perform or show their art. The works are generally performance based, self produced and self funded. In some cases the performers are all theatre based, but in others the festival can consist of musicians, stand up comics, theatre shows, and visual arts. Some festivals are open access, some are lottery, some are juried and some are a mix. After Edinburgh, Fringe festivals began to show up all over the world. Currently, the World Fringe website states there are over 250 Fringe festivals in countries from Europe to Africa to Asia to America.
