26th January 2023 at the Royal Concert Hall (Main Auditorium), Glasgow.
Celtic Connections Festival, www.celticconnections.com/.
Country: Ireland. Style: Irish Folk.
Lineup: Ronan Le Bars (uilleann pipes/whistle), Liam Roudil (g), Aymeric Le Martelot (keyboards), Pierrick Tardivel (b), Thomas Bessé (d) with guests: Karan Casey (v), Lauren Chandler (v), Fransy Gonzàlez (v/percussion), Cerys Hafana (v/harp), Karen Matheson (v), Denez Prigent (v), Sylvia Quesada (v/percussion), José Manuel Tejedor (gaita), Tomas Callister (fiddle), Donal O'Connor (fiddle), Niall Vallely (concertina/whistle), Donald Shaw (piano accordion), Adam Rhodes (bouzouki).
This project was first revealed at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in August 2022. Put together by the festival's director Ronan Le Bars and involving musicians from Asturias, Galicia, the Isle of Man, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Brittany, backed by a Breton house band. I have photographed some of them before - Karen Matheson, Donald Shaw, Karan Casey, Tomas Callister, Adam Rhodes, Ronan Le Bars and Pierrick Tardivel (to view click on the musician's name in my tags).

Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.

addiction...yes, i have one...it's for all things nail polish.
i rarely go more than a few days with one color.
and since i got a few emails regarding my nails...
i figured i'd start taking more pix of 'em.
yesterday, i stumbled across the new opi muppet collection in person...
and found rainbow connection!
it has 3 sizes of glitter & it makes me feel like a magpie or a fish or something else attracted to sparkly things.
underneath the sparkles is opi's william tell me about opi.
(please don't mind the tip wear...i'm hard on my nails, it's not the polish)
DC Area Girl Scouts participate in a group challenge: Get all of your team across a "river" mpasse via tiny "lillypads". They learned that teamwork, perseverance, risk taking, strategy, and communication are the secrets of success. That and getting very very close to each other.

The 2024 Connections Leadership Conference was held 15-16 November at the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, MI. This was the first time since 2019 the event was hosted away from the Central Michigan University Campus.
