You can find the series through their podcast in the iTunes store by searching mosaic audio podcast or by going to mosaic.org.
I had the great honor of working with incredible artists involved in the community of Mosaic.

† Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is an electronic system to help the driver maintain control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether DSC will be effective in preventing loss of control.
Today, everything changes. My career path, job situation, and maybe even what town or which country I live in will be determined. Or rather information will be available on which those decisions will be made.
But I will always have my canon.
UPDATE
--------
I still have a job! YAY! We just don't know what it is yet.

Stability of phylogenetic results to the exclusion of particular taxa from the total combined data matrix.
Taxa deleted in each parsimony search are indicated above the phylogenetic result for each reanalysis. For simplicity, only the placements of major extant lineages and three critical fossil groups (†Mesonychia, †Creodonta, and †Raoellidae) are shown in the figure. Successive deletion of particular taxa from analysis results in contradictory interpretations of phylogenetic relationships. With the removal of Lipotyphla + †Creodonta, note that two equally parsimonious “islands” of trees are supported (†Mesonychia deep within Artiodactyla or completely outside the clade). †Creodonta is excluded from Artiodactyla in most reanalyses, but with the removal of Lipotyphla and Carnivora, †Creodonta clusters with †Mesonychia in a clade that is the sister group to Cetacea.

Proposed by the ALDE Group, the Democratic Governance Pact (DGP) should become for Democracy, the Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights, what the Stability and Growth Pact is to the Eurozone. Analogous to the Stability and Growth instruments, the Pact has a "semester" mechanism for annual monitoring of Democracy, the Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights. This mechanism has preventive and corrective measures, and establishes a more gradual and automatic response in order to ensure better compliance with Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The event will allow key stakeholders, representatives from all EU institutions, experts in the field of fundamental rights, as well as civil society organisations to further discuss the DGP and explore possible avenues to implement this instrument aiming at strengthening Democracy, the Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights in the EU. The seminar will also be the occasion to have a detailed look at the situation of fundamental rights in several Member States. With the presentation of an EU's first draft Scoreboard for Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights the DGP allows a country-by-country assessment and a discussion based on a set of common fundamental rights indicators.

- Rerun in Google Colab with 60-100 steps with the seeds
- Send the good images to Google Drive
- Pull those images into Gigapixel AI and export with standard settings
- Finally, also send them through Sharpen AI, often with "Too soft - Normal" and 30-70 added grain. This step isn't that crucial, but it does help a tiny bit.

May 3, 2016: Over the last six months, risks to global financial stability have risen, according to the International Monetary Fund’s April 2016 Global Financial Stability Report. In advanced economies, the outlook has deteriorated because of heightened uncertainty and setbacks to growth and confidence. Disruptions to global asset markets have added to these pressures. Declines in oil and commodity prices have kept risks elevated in emerging markets, while greater uncertainty about China’s growth transition has increased spillovers to global markets. These developments tightened financial conditions, reduced risk appetite, and raised credit risks, weighing on financial stability. The situation in markets appears significantly improved, but is the turmoil of the past months now safely behind us, or is it a warning signal that more needs to be done to secure financial stability? The IMF’s April 2016 GFSR addresses this key question and many others.

Appearance and stability matter once beer leaves a brewery. Jailbreak Brewing doesn't appear shy about producing bright beer. Here: a Velo-brand Diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filter.
**************
Jailbreak Brewing is scheduled to open to the public in April 2014. It will be Howard County's first-ever production brewery. When I visited in early March 2014, construction of the tap room was underway, but beer was already fermenting in the tanks.
