Q: How to directly use the return of maxloc as index of an array integer, parameter :: m=100, n=200
real :: x(m), y(n), z(m,n),loc(2)
integer :: i, j
do i=1,m
do j=1,n
z(i,j)=x(i)+y(j)
enddo
enddo
loc=maxloc(z)
write(*,*) "peaking at ", x(loc(1)), y(loc(2))
Is it possible to avoid using the temporary array loc(2)? In other words, is there a method of directly accessing the result of maxloc in the above case, e.g., x(maxloc(z)(1))?

It has been a dramatic day. The plane was scheduled to arrive at NEEM at 1045; but due to technical issues the departure from Kangerlussuaq was delayed.
It has been an unusual day. Outside, a group cleaned the camp area and packed the last items. Inside the dome, a group was busy cleaning the kitchen and the first floor.
It has been a wonderful day. It was nice and cold with lots of sunshine.
Luckily this was not a multi-day blizzard. When we began to work weather was fine again, and nice cold for a change.
NEEM camp is condensing, and today a big task is completed.
Today it rained at Noon. Most of the day temperatures have been over 0°C.
We celebrated the last Saturday evening at NEEM with a new heat wave arriving.
The drill trench is not anymore. And we are preparing to close the science trench.
Packing down camp equipment onto heavy sleds has its own rhythm.
Today we finished packing all drilling equipment onto a heavy sled, and the area around the former drill trench is now clear of cargo.
refrozen water has formed in the past three days.
The ice block throwing competition was postponed, because the blocks were melting!
None of us here at NEEM can follow the Olympic games,so we have created NEEM icelympic games.
We woke in the morning to the patter of raindrops on tents and on the dome.
As forecasted NEEM today was hit by another heat wave.
All afternoon we were digging and chopping ice.
Monday morning everybody was busy.
The winch is too heavy for the cat to lift into the Skier so the skiers need to winch the pallet into the aircraft.
ramp that has been opened.
Today Paul, Helle, Rune, Alejandra and Allan left us – we will miss you.
The termination of the NEEM deep drilling after 6 years is a big event.
With the drillers, loggers and seismic teams the camp is running full speed.
Finally we have had a cold night and the snow surface is hard again.
Today a day with temperatures below zero, sunshine and no wind.
News?? Observing pit, moving ice blocks, removing ice from drill. All reported the last days.
The unusual warm weather continues and it is clear that we will need to wait until the surface cools.
Friday the 13th – not a good flight day!
If you are superstitious don't fly Friday 13th ….
Going into the third day with + temperatures.
We woke up to a totally overcast day with rain!
At 06:00 in the morning the weather was -10 °C and the preparations for departure of Polar 6 started.
The morning was used finishing the snow blowing of the ramp to the drill trench and removing the snow blocks from the ramp.
After a brunch with omelettes and pancakes the day started gently.
Saturday evening – the long waited fun time of the week. For the first (and probably only time) NEEM opened the skidoo Drive-In Cinema.
pictures the last days and today he will be featured in the NEEM Diary.
One more day preparing the camp to be packed. All in camp (except Sarah who produced food miracles) united forces to empty and free the Carpenters Garage.
Today was 4th of July, so we planned an American meal with barbequed chicken, potato salad and blueberry pie.
Not much news to tell because the packing just goes on.
Again a very nice and sunny day with low winds and we decided it was the day to take the sauna garage down.
Sunday morning is always peaceful and the sunny weather made it reall nice.
The day to dig the 2m deep pit has come and Paul, Helle, Motohiro, Alejandra and Rune finds a spot on the line of the clean area 2 km from camp.
Again a wonderfully warm and sunny day. We settled on small tasks today and all were busy in camp.
The low winds made this a perfect day for outdoor work and we decided to take the red dome down.
Skier 95 arrived to camp at 10:15 with 6 new NEEM'ers and picked up 11.
It appears that the deepest part of the borehole is filling up with water that freezes in.
A final day of high winds?
After another day of blowing snow, high winds, complete overcast, and high temperatures the skiway is not in a good condition to receive an airplane.
has formed in the deepest part of the borehole. .
The weather forecast predicts stormy conditions for Monday, just before the flight mission scheduled for Tuesday..
The weather is still collaborative and we've spend the day preparing for the flight scheduled for next Tuesday.
Hurrah, after a week of overcast we saw the Sun today!
It is now definitely summer time at NEEM with today's temperature reaching a maximum of -1.1°C.
We had high winds all day and could not do much outdoor work. .
The day started out with overcast and snow showers, but winds were low, so we optimistically started blowing the ramps free of snow.
Today the high winds had disappeared and we could inspect the new dunes of freshly deposited drift snow all around camp.
Today we had storm with average wind speed around 30 knots (16 m/s) occasionally rising to 35 knots.
Windy conditions with snow, drifting, and white-out did not permit much surface work to be carried out today. .
This morning we said goodbye to the Polar 6 DC-3, its friendly crew, our Euronews visitors, and our AWI colleagues..
Today we received a C-130 from Sønderstrømfjord (SFJ) that brought us new camp personnel plus a large group of interested Distinguished Visitors. .
This year NEEM camp is also a staging station for a remote camp on the North East Greenland Ice Stream. .
Although people stop working earlier than normal, a lot was accomplished today.
One day after her arrival, Christine is already happy to have obtained a series of samples central to her research.
Lou spent the entire day today driving the Pistenbully up and down the skiway to till in the new snow in preparation of the plane tomorrow.
Today weather turned bad. It has been cloudy with snow most of the time.
It looks as if the good weather is coming to an end.
Most people in camp were up and about at 8.00.
Well, actually the bad weather returned with thick clouds, snow and blowing snow. We had to cancel a planned flight of Polar 6.
Summer has arrived to NEEM, bringing clouds, snow and very high temperatures.
changed rapidly in the afternoon.
After a good party Saturday night, activities in camp began with the departure of Polar 6 on a radar mission.
Although it is Saturday, there is a lot of activity in camp and in the air space over the North Greenland ice sheet.
The fine weather continues to help us a lot.
It has been a very busy and successful day.
Today we were notified that three aeroplanes intend to fly to NEEM tomorrow.
Work progresses in a fine pace; but still everybody in camp is happy of getting an extra day for preparation before the flights.
Most efforts in camp are now centered on preparing camp for a large number of people arriving Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
It is Saturday, and this means that people get a shower and dress up for Saturday night dinner.
The day began with good byes.
Today the last small problems were solved, and the camp is now fully operational.
Most things went fine on this beautiful second day at NEEM.
This year the put-in happened on schedule.

Q: Find and replace loop in excel vba I'm trying to find all values in column W that contain a colon, remove the colon of the value in that cell, and note the XID in column A of the same row. Then see if there are any instances of the value within the strings in columns CT & CU in the rows that have that XID. If any instances in columns CT & CU remove said colon as well.
The thing about columns CT & CU is there are other colons in the strings, so the specific colon is to be removed.
Example: Say column W contains "Less: Than Minimum" and on the same row the XID in row A would be "562670-6". Now that the loop has noted the XID that has the occurrence of a colon (in this case "Less: Than Minimum") a smaller loop inside the big loop will look through all of the cells in columns CT & CU that have the same XID in column A to find any cells that CONTAIN "Less: Than Minimum" (which in the photo would be cell CT2 where it contains "PROP:LESS: THAN MINIMUM:THERE WILL BE.....") and remove the colon (so it would end up being "PROP:LESS THAN MINIMUM:THERE WILL BE.....").
Since there are multiple colons in each cell in columns CT & CU my idea is to look for ":Less: Than Minimum:" because there will always be a colon at the beginning and end of that string.
I've been trying to accomplish this task and got to this point

I receive a Type Mismatch Error at line
rng = Replace(rng, ":", "")
I came across an answer on this question that said that "Replace works only with string variables," so I figure that might be what the issue is?
How could I edit the above code to accomplish what I'm looking to do? Is there a different approach (that is still accomplished via VBA).
Update/Revision
Okay, so I've progressed a bit by being able to successfully find and replace the first instance of the colon option "Less Than: Minimum" is changed to "Less Than Minimum" both in columns W & CT. The problem I face now is getting the Do loops to function correctly. Here is the point I've come to (I've included some comments in code to hopefully help guide anyone who wants to try and help)
Option Explicit

As I commented in the code, I seem to be getting tied up at the very beginning of the first Do Loop at the line
Do
'>>>The .FindNext here returns Empty<<<
Set aCell = rng.FindNext(After:=aCell)
The .FindNext(After:=aCell) returns Empty for some reason even though I've place a colon in the cells with "Drop Shipments: - ....." & "SHOP:Drop Shipments: - ....."
Any idea why or any idea how I can fix this?
A: Your type mismatch is, I think, because you are attempting to use replace (which operates on strings) across a range. You will instead need to loop through each element of the range and perform the replace. So something like:
Dim i As Integer
i=1
While i <= endRange
Replace(ActiveSheet.Cells(i,23).Value, ":", "")
i=i+1
Wend
A: You should loop through all the cells like this:
For i = 1 To endRange
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
opName = ":" & aCell.Value & ":"
aCell = Replace(ActiveSheet.Range("W" & aCell.Row).Value, ":", "")
opName2 = ":" & aCell.Value & ":"
xid = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & aCell.Row).Value
Set uRng = ActiveSheet.Range("CT2:CU" & endRange)
Set uCell = uRng.Find(What:=opName, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not uCell Is Nothing And ActiveSheet.Range("A" & uCell.Row).Value = xid Then
Set sCell = uCell
uCell = Replace(ActiveSheet.Range("CT" & uCell.Row).Value, opName, opName2)
End If
Next i
i is just the counter here but you could use it as row index:
Cells(i, "W") 'Cells(RowIndex, ColumnIndex) works great for single cells
If you want to do more in this loop, I would also recommend writing functions which you can call with certain parameters.
For example (not a good one):
Function Renaming(Cell as Range)
Renaming = ":" Cell.Value ":"
End Function
Then you could call the function:
Call Renaming(aCell)
I believe this would help you a little.
Also you don't need to give the range of aCell to bCell as this will stay the same. If you want to save the value somewhere then you'll need to declare bCell as String and then do the following:
bCell = aCell.Value
Otherwise this part of the code is pretty useless as the range of your cell will not change until you're done with your code.
I'm a newby in VBA myself, but if any of the code works for you, don't hesitate to use it. If there are any suggestions for better code, I'd love to read the comments :)
A: With some trial and error (and help from @Kathara in pointing out a few loose ends to clean up and suggesting a way to go about my loop) I've finally come to a fully working solution. However, instead of looping through the option column and then looping through the upcharge criteria 1 and upcharge criteria 2 columns each time I come across an option name with a colon I went with the Find() method since I know that each time I find the first value from the top of the Option Name column the value will be one of the first few that are found looking from the top down from the upcharge columns. I've also decided to split uRng into two ranges (uRng1 for upcharge criteria 1 and uRng2 for upcharge criteria 2) and check uRng2 right after each time I check uRng1, ensuring that I replace the option name in both columns. I removed the bCell & sCell range variables because as Kathara pointed out, they are not vital to the Sub. In fact, there were simply there in an example I used to build my Sub from, so that's where they came from (good eye Kathara!). I also realized with the help of @andrewf that I was not implementing the Replace() function correctly as I was providing a range inside it and not the value of the current cell of that range. Finally, before anyone says that I should I kept the Option Compare Text in my code, I realized that it would not fly later on in my overall project since this is one sub that will be combined with about 10 others to make my final product. So, in place of that I fell upon the UCase() function, which fits the bill for exactly what I need to accomplish. So, without further ado, below is completed code. If anyone in the future can take any bit of knowledge or is able to use any tidbit from my work to help them I will be happy knowing I was able to help in any way.

All-Time Statistics
Here at the Bristol Honda Pitbulls we really do want to ensure fans continue to feel confident, safe and relaxed whilst enjoying the thrill of live ice hockey. As always, it's important that we look out for each other and keep everyone safe considering the impact COVID-19 has had on all our lives.
With that in mind, this page details changes that the team are making to game nights during the COVID pandemic.
PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE ARENA IF:
– You feel unwell with any COVID-19 symptoms.
– You have been identified as a close contact of a positive case and have been asked to self-isolate by the NHS.
– You have had a COVID-19 test and are awaiting the results.
– You have received a positive COVID test in the past 10 days.
FACE COVERINGS: At all Bristol Pitbulls games, and in line with government guidance and required by law in indoor sport stadiums, all supporters will need to wear a mask at all times when they are in the rink unless they are eating or drinking, or are exempt. Where someone is exempt from wearing a mask, we will not require any proof of that exemption.
VACCINATION: We do not require COVID passports or a negative lateral flow test result to be shown in order to gain entry to the arena. HOWEVER, to keep us all as safe as possible whilst attending Pitbulls games, we hope that many of the fans are either partially or fully vaccinated. As a further precaution to keep everyone as safe as possible, we ask that all fans attending a game undertake a voluntary lateral flow test prior to arriving at the arena. We will not be asking to see the result.
SOCIAL DISTANCING: We will be continuing to ask everyone to remain considerate and keep some distance between people when queuing in the common areas such as the concession stands.
TEAM BENCHES: Both team benches are out of bounds for all fans before the game, during each period, during the period breaks and after the game.
STAFF: Government guidance is that "face coverings must be worn by staff working in those settings where the public are required to wear face coverings and where staff come into direct contact with the public". We can confirm that all of our match night staff, volunteers and Planet Ice staff will wear a mask unless they are exempt. Our players, coaches and back-room staff will wear a mask at all times in the arena unless on the bench, warming up, on the ice or in the locker room.
TICKETS: We encourage you to book in advance online to avoid queuing on match night at the box office.
Our ticket system ensures you'll be emailed instantly with your ticket and all you will need to do to enter the arena is show the bar code in your email. If you are unable to buy tickets online, then the ticket office will still be open on game night. Tickets must be paid for by card. Our current ticket prices can be found here.
MERCHANDISE STANDS: The Pitbulls merchandise stand will continue to sell Pitbulls merchandise. Both card and cash payments will be taken, as usual. The trying on of garments will not be possible to protect the safety of our match night volunteers.

END OF GAME PRESENTATIONS: There will be no player handshakes at the end of the game. Teams will stand at their respective blue lines where the Man of the Match winners will be announced.
SIGNING TABLE: Unfortunately, to protect both the players and supporters alike, there will be no signing table after the game.
COMPETITIONS: Our ever popular competitions will continue, but managed slightly different until further notice.
Jersey Off the Players Back: Unfortunately, due to the current climate these jerseys cannot be presented on the ice and will require laundering before handing over to the lucky winner. Winners will be asked to collect the jersey from the merchandise stand at the next home game after the jersey has been washed. Other arrangements can also be made if the winner doesn't attend the next home game. Tickets are available from the merchandise stand for just £2.

Q: Why getting linker error with vector? I have for homework to write my own abstract class Vector. I make some of the code, but when I try to compile it I have error. This is the code:
vector.hh:
#ifndef VECTOR__HH__
#define VECTOR__HH_
template<class T> class Vector {
int capacity_;
int size_;
T* buffer_;
void ensure_capacity(unsigned size);
public:
Vector(int capacity=10)
: capacity_(capacity), size_(0), buffer_(new T[capacity])
{ }
~Vector() {
delete []buffer_;
}
int size() const {
return size_;
}
bool empty() const {
return size_ == 0;
}
T& operator[](int n) {
return buffer_[n];
}
const T& operator[](int n) const {
return buffer_[n];
}
void clear() {
// TODO
}
int capacity() const {
return capacity_;
}
T& front() {
return buffer_[0];
}
const T& front() const {
return buffer_[0];
}
T& back() {
return buffer_[size_-1];
}
const T& back() const {
return buffer_[size_-1];
}
void push_back(const T& value);
};
#endif
vector.cc:
#include "vector.hh"
template<class T>
void Vector<T>::ensure_capacity(unsigned size) {
if(capacity_>size+1) {
return;
}
capacity_ = capacity_ ==0?1:capacity_;
while(capacity_<size+1) {
capacity_*=2;
}
T* old_buffer = buffer_;
buffer_ = new T[capacity_];
memcpy(buffer_, old_buffer, sizeof(T)*size_);
delete [] old_buffer;
}
template<class T>
void Vector<T>::push_back(const T& value) {
ensure_capacity(size()+1);
buffer_[size_] = value;
size_++;
buffer_[size_] = '/0';
}
main.cc:
#include "vector.hh"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
Vector<int> v(2);
v.push_back(10);
cout << v[0];
return 0;
}
And error is:
g++ -c -o main.o main.cc
g++ -Wall -g vector.o main.o -o hw02vector
main.o: In function 'main':
main.cc:(.text+0x37): undefined reference to 'Vector<int>::push_back(int const&)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: * [hw02vector] Error 1
A: The linker error is coming because, for template classes the definition should always be visible. Either you can move all the content of vector.cc into vector.h. Or you can simply include vector.cc wherever you include vector.h.
side note:
Following lines in your .h file doesn't help:
#ifndef VECTOR__HH__
#define VECTOR__HH_
make both the macros similar such as, VECTOR__HH. This macros are used to avoid multiple inclusion of files.
A: In template programmming, the definition of the functions should be visible where the class template is defined. That is usually done by defining the functions inside the class itself.
So there are two ways you can solve your problem:
*
*Move all the definitions from vector.cpp to vector.hh (which is in fact the usual solution). And delete Vector.cpp as its not needed.
*Or, include the vector.cpp file at the end of vector.hh file, after the definition of Vector class template, like this:
#ifndef VECTOR__HH__
#define VECTOR__HH__ //<--- corrected this also!
template<class T>
class Vector {
//...
};
//...
#include "vector.cpp"
#endif VECTOR__HH__

Passion is wonderful to see but has player power become too much? - Johnny Cantor

Johnny Cantor
There was plenty to digest over the weekend in the world of football even if Brighton and Hove Albion weren't in action in the Premier League.
The Seagulls'match against Chelsea had been postponed due to the Blues' involvement in the League Cup Final.
The game went to extra-time and penalties and even in my lengthy time in the commentary box I have never seen anything quite like the mutiny at Wembley from goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Whatever the whys and wherefores, the cramp, the recovery, the manager's decision should be final.
He should have come off. From a wider point of view what I saw was another example of the increase in player power.
Ultimately we see players can oust managers out of their role, that has happened across the country but more and more we are seeing their influence on the pitch in terms of decision making.
The manager can only do so much once the game starts but tactics, formation and substitutions are still in the control of the dug-out. That may be changing.
Players argue about who will take penalties and Fulham have seen that disrupt their chances this season, Kepa won't come off at Wembley despite the decision of the manager and Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock expressed frustration over Victor Camarasa after revealing the midfielder's personal staff were telling the club whether he is fit.
It is the performances of the players that determine games but overall control is becoming more and more blurred.
This week Leicester City made a change after unrest over the form and style of play of Claude Puel.
There was player power in evidence again, with a bit of help from the fans and concern from the owners perhaps. There will always be big egos in dressing rooms and you need leaders, fighters and workers.
We must also remember that the faith in managers may also be diluted when they see how readily the man in the dug-out can leave on their own terms.
I'm sure the Celtic players will have been disappointed that Brendan Rodgers didn't at least stay on until the summer before heading to Leicester.
Five goals has Graham Potter off to a winning start as Brighton manager in Austria
He himself will have felt if he went now to the King Power Stadium the job was his, wait until May and there may be others on the market.
It is always healthy to have a dialogue between workers and management in any business and many people in positions of responsibility fail to listen to their staff before they make their decision but in the end it is their call, and it should be.
Normally people may say ''that's what they get paid for'' but of course in football the players get more than the manager.
Leicester paid around £6-8m for Rodgers if reports are to be believed, while midfielder Youri Tielemans cost over £20m.
Salaries are incomparable between the two. The tide may well be changing and we may see more scenes like on the touchline at Wembley in the future.
The intervention of other players like Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta may indicate Sarri's fragile position at Chelsea but it was hugely disrespectful, and respect for others is something the game has desperately tried to promote but often fails to deliver.
Passion is a wonderful thing in football and in life but players, managers, fans and all of us in our daily lives should all try to treat others as we would hope to be treated by them.

Understanding the Big Picture of the Five Ed Tech Trends Highlighted in the 2014 Learning Impact Report
This week IMS Global released the 2014 Learning Impact Report which summarizes trends we are seeing in the ed tech sector based on the current year and historical winners of IMS's annual Learning Impact competition. Many thanks to those that participated in the competition from around the world and, of course, the evaluators and editorial panel! Ed tech researchers or leaders interested in helping with the Learning Impact work in the future please contact us!
The executive summary of the report highlights five key trends out of the 15 or so we have been following since we began the program in 2007. One of the challenges of the ed tech sector is that we don't have a common vocabulary to describe key developments, and frequently when a common term emerges, like LMS, MOOC or analytics – they become overloaded and frequently lose their usefulness. For that reason, we have focused the LIA process and terminology around what an institution is hoping to achieve with the support of technology – rather than the buzz terms for the technology itself – and focus on actual use of the technology at an institution (i.e. real examples of implementation).
In this blog I will briefly give some of my thoughts on each of the five key trends highlighted, not to repeat the specifics of what is in the report, but rather to help clarify why these are indeed key trends worth watching – and how they relate to the "big picture."
Trend #1: Growing ecosystem of educational apps are enabling rapid integration of innovative learning tools for teachers and students
Diversity of need and diversity of offering is the future of education. Massification is not the future – it is the past (leading nations and societies will find ways to move beyond the current massified, one size fits all educational systems to the next phase). Over the long haul this trend to support diversity will be the most disruptive factor in the global education sector. The consumer mobile platform providers have taught us a thing or two about how to enable the "long tail" ecosystem of apps. Education will also move in this direction to support the need for diversity. IMS Global is right in the middle of enabling this trend via standards like LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability). We have evolved to 32 learning platforms that can "consume" LTI apps and about 100 certified apps. We estimate that there are 2-3x that number of apps that are actually using LTI, but not yet certified. Why can't we just have 3-4 platforms like in the consumer world? Apple, Android, Microsoft, Amazon? The answer is self-evident when you consider that "the educational ecosystem" must encompass integration INTO and ACROSS the world of consumer devices and apps. How will the education sector manage to stay platform agnostic while bridging this gap? No one knows for sure but an obvious solution is for the much smaller (i.e. smaller than Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft) education sector participants (the suppliers and institutions) is to ban together and offer a set of bridging standards that enable any platform/any app to integrate with the platform agnostic educational ecosystem. Indeed, that is the direction that the IMS work is already taking and we are now seeing examples of things like Facebook/LMS integration using LTI.
Trend #2: Emphasis on student success and outcomes-based learning paving the way for GPS-like products
For students to do better they need better data about how they are doing and what their path alternatives/recommendations are: pretty obvious idea. Indeed, most learning management products are course/teacher focused – not helpful for students or advisors focused on the academic journey/program. Institutions, entrepreneurs and the Gates Foundation are getting this in the last few years – and a range of products are emerging. D2L acquired a product called Degree Compass that fits into this category. It is still relatively early days on this trend because there are many things to be worked out institution by institution. But, the motivation to do so is now apparent for those institutions that are either experiencing marginal success (due to the changing demographics of students and employment challenges) or looking to build new relationships with employers. One of the key buzzwords today in HED is competency-based education (CBE). Competency-based programs have become closed associated with being able to get college credit for life experiences/previously acquired skills. However, as educational systems evolve "competencies" (such as critical thinking, communications, teamwork) become the explicit components of describing the goals and progress of an educational path. But, I would also argue that ability to define and deliver on competencies that are relevant to specific partnerships with corporations (such as the much heralded partnership with Starbucks and ASU Online announced within the last year) will become a key competitive advantage for colleges in the future.
Trend #3: Gaming and simulation entries reinforce the power of games to improve student engagement through experiential learning
Eight years of Learning Impact Awards have produced an impressive group of medal winners in the educational gaming category. And, many have experienced some very excellent and mainstream games/simulations in niche areas such as graduate business schools. Yet, we continue to indicate in the Learning Impact Project Matrix that gaming/simulation in the educational sector is a ways off from being mainstream. The reason for this, of course, is that producing effective educational games that scale is expensive. The good news is that some of the award winners have been from institutions that indeed work at large scale, like Florida Virtual School. The matrix shows an interesting contrast in position with what has proven to be a learning impact leader: Adaptive learning and online homework. This category has been widely adopted due to the investment of publishers. Interestingly, we are now seeing products that feature programming frameworks that enable development of adaptive learning content. We have seen entries that have attempted to do the same for gaming and simulations. It is worth noting that there is an opportunity for publishers or institutions to invest in potentially scalable educational games/simulations. After all, isn't this an obvious next vista for "educational authorship" beyond textbooks?
Trend #4: Evolution of robust digital learning networks that are scalable and flexible continues thanks to learning platform innovation and open infrastructures
The "Digital Learning Networks" category has been a shining star of large-scale impact of technology in the LIA contest since 2007. This category covers groups of institutions (national level, state level, district level, ad-hoc consortia, etc) collaborating to build out some form of technology architecture that accelerates educational progress across the group. Gartner Group's July 2014 report on the Hype Cycle for Education covers something called "Exostructure Strategy" – leveraging interoperability to enable more friction-less partnering – whose description includes several IMS standards as the enabling technology – as having transformational potential. While we would agree with Gartner that this type of strategy is not mainstream in most institutions we would point out that this type of collaborative strategy has been very successful around the work for many years now – and is not especially difficult to implement from a technical perspective. The challenge is really cultural. A great example of an emerging collaboration of this category is Unizin – institutions cooperating to put in place a framework to ensure they can share content and leverage data.
Trend #5: Scaling pedagogical knowledge and practice to help teachers innovate in the classroom is gaining significantly in K-12 via new digital platforms
What is your digital curriculum strategy? What will become the core learning platform in K-20 by the year 2020? What does sharing pedagogical knowledge have to do with digital curriculum strategy and learning platforms? Everything. Luckily K-12 education understands the need for professional development. Unluckily, higher ed does not. Who is responsible for developing the K-12 teachers? Higher ed. Whoops! Many, many higher ed institutions have put in place web sites for faculty to collaborate – but, these efforts have stalled out due to the cultural issue of faculty independence. K-12 is now taking the lead in digital curriculum – because it has to – and it starts with helping the faculty make sense of the options available in the digital world. Since most K-12 districts invest more in curriculum than information technology it makes huge sense that the products to help faculty in this regard are accelerating. Learning platform support for professional development, including sharing of pedagogical knowledge is a key improvement area for the future. Whether or not this will be accomplished via plug in learning tools or apps versus the core platform remains to be seen.
Clearly the future is coming. Wishing you the best of luck in being an important part of making it happen.
All five of these areas have some pretty obvious effects on each other. We will leave that as homework for the reader ;-).

EDUCAUSE 2014 (#edu14): The beginning of alignment toward an "architecture for educational innovation"?
"Alignment" is especially challenging in the world of higher education. Alignment of interests and direction is very difficult to achieve within a university structure, which have evolved to what Clark Kerr termed as the "Multiversity" (a collection of diverse communities under one umbrella).
Alignment, it would appear, should be even more challenging across universities. However, there are forces at work, for instance community interaction via organizations like EDUCAUSE. Indeed, some theorists have postulated that independent institutions evolve to very similar structures not through "top down" leadership but more through practitioner community effects (a theory known as institutional isomorphism). So, in practical terms, one of the reasons why most CIOs at colleges and universities seem focused on similar priorities is because they all talk to and influence each other via groups like EDUCAUSE.
For almost a year now IMS has been talking about something we call "an architecture for educational innovation." What we mean by that is a community owned, developed and supported set of interoperability standards that make educational applications plug and play with each other and thus allow the focus/investment to be primarily on innovative apps rather than infrastructure. This concept started achieving clarity in the Abel, Brown, Suess EDUCAUSE Review article from October 2013, A New Architecture for Learning.
IMS Global does not bring all the things needed for the architecture to materialize: Far from it. IMS brings one small but absolutely critical piece, which is an organization via which institutions and suppliers can co-create, evolve and sustain the required interoperability (call them standards if you like – but ease of interoperability is what is required, versus standards per se). Organizations such as Internet 2 bring the cloud-based infrastructure that is so critical to offloading the infrastructure concerns. Organizations like EDUCAUSE Learning Institute and the larger EDUCAUSE bring the leadership needed to make it happen.
Here are my (admittedly subjective) take on some of the notables from EDUCAUSE in priority order (most important first), with the relevance to beginning alignment toward an architecture for educational innovation:
Unizin: The first of it's kind consortium among large R-1 universities to enable sharing of content and data announced adding several new members. This is a very serious effort, reflected by the $1 million membership fee for each university, and at the heart of this effort is reliable and efficient interoperability to enable the sharing regardless of what products are used.
EDUCAUSE Next Generation Digital Learning Environment (NGDLE): A new, potentially well-funded effort (sponsored by the Gates Foundation) to envision and take tangible steps toward enabling a more comprehensive view of what today would be the learning management system (LMS). It is clear from the focus group of 50+ leaders that occurred at #edu14 that interoperability and the flexibility and access to data needed to improve instruction is clearly among the top three enablers for this effort. And, this interoperability will go well beyond the LMS (which despite its many detractors is typically the most open and interoperable system on campus today).
Diana Oblinger: Diana received numerous well-deserved recognition at what will be her last EDUCAUSE as CEO per announced 2015 retirement. Diana has turned out to be a great fit for EDUCAUSE CEO, leading an enormous rise in stature over the last six years. However, the real news item here is that during Diana's tenure EDUCAUSE revenues of more than doubled to over $35 million annually. How many commercial product suppliers have had that level of success during the same period? As with the prior two bullets regarding Unizin and NGDLE this success can be interpreted as increasing leadership from the institutions in driving the direction of technology.
Campus Computing Survey: Once again "assisting faculty with the instructional integration of information technology" was ranked most important. The future of educational IT is not about "locking the faculty down" – it is about enabling better, more innovative instruction.
Kuali project: There was hubbub at EDUCAUSE about this well-known open source ERP project adding a commercial spin-off which included questions about what would remain open source. In the architecture for educational innovation diversity and innovation go hand-in-hand. This includes (very importantly) diversity of business models. We see the evolution of Kuali as just one more example of the need to find a path that leads to sustainable innovation. If you'd like everything with respect to education to be free, then please begin with your own salary.
Mobile-first products: In the last few weeks, including at EDUCAUSE, I've spoken with at least five suppliers relatively new to the education space, touting their "mobile-first" strategy – meaning the solutions were built from the ground up to support mobile devices as the primary interface with the ability to work well in the "consumer world" of diverse platforms, apps, etc. How this consumer world interoperates with the more closed world of educational systems and institutions is a problem that requires agreed upon interoperability to address enable at scale. There is great opportunity for those organizations that can work with IMS to begin to plug some of these gaps – and it is beginning to happen.
Gartner Group: Albeit not released at EDUCAUSE, Gartner's July report on the Hype Cycle for Education covers something called "Exostructure Strategy" – leveraging interoperability to enable more friction-less partnering - whose description includes several IMS standards as the enabling technology – as having transformational potential. Since Gartner has had literally zero interaction directly with IMS, it is clear that this is a trend that their institutional and supplier members are telling them about.
University of Central Florida: We were blown away by UCF's LTI app development work – and their leadership in getting the message out on how institutions can and should be realizing the architecture for innovation/exostructure strategy!
What do you think? Beginning of alignment toward an architecture for educational innovation? Here are the intro slides from our IMS panel session on the topic.

Can the Education Sector Lead Learning Tech Impact (and Tech Stds)?
Many thanks to Michael Feldstein of the e-Literate Blog for the insightful post on IMS progress entitled The IMS Is More Important Than You Think It Is.
Michael and Phil Hill have been so successful with the e-Literate Blog because of their intimate understanding of the education technology sector. The funny thing about the title of this recent blog post about IMS is that even I, as the guy sort of in charge over here at IMS, often have the same sentiment – namely that IMS may be more important than even I think it is!
To explain I will highlight a few statements from Michael's writing and elaborate a bit – all under the category of sort of a teachable moment. The key foundation here is to understand that when we reorganized IMS beginning eight years ago we took a pretty radical approach (while trying not to appear radical) of turning a technical standards organization upside down. So, rather than focusing on standards for educational technology as the most important thing we took to heart that standards are only a means to an end. That end is what we termed "Learning Impact" which is the impact that technology can have on transforming/improving education and learning. If that seems a bit ethereal to you, it's not: The event Michael wrote his impressions from is our annual meeting called the Learning Impact Leadership Institute. This is NOT a meeting of standards geeks (even though we all have a bit, or maybe a lot, of that in us) but rather a meeting of those wishing to lead educational transformation.
Michael: "I have long argued that the development of technical interoperability standards for education are absolutely critical for enabling innovation and personalized learning environments. Note that I usually avoid those sorts of buzzwords—"innovation" and "personalized learning"—so when I use them here, I really mean them."
Rob's elaboration: Michael gets that IMS is all about innovation, but lot's of folks misunderstand what goes on in a standards organization like IMS. Some standards are about picking one of several options of a technology already developed. My favorite example is picking a gauge to standardize railroad tracks. However, IMS standards are for technology that is new. These type of standards are all about enabling distribution of innovative practices and technologies. Thus, some will fail but others will enable wider innovation. Working in IMS is as much or more about defining the innovation and enabling it as it is about locking down a potential standard.
Michael: "But arriving at those standards often feels . . . painful, frustratingly slow, and often lacking a feeling of accomplishment. It's easy to give up on the process. Having recently returned from the IMS Learning Impact Leadership Institute, I must say that the feeling was different this time."
Rob's elaboration: We've figured out a few things over the years that have helped improve the process of developing standards. First we try to separate the participants into groups that emphasize different things. Some folks like to work on developing specifications. Most, however, prefer to implement. Others, especially institutional types, like to work on reviewing to understand and ensure the benefits and resulting policies. The trick is to create some separate spaces and bring them together at the appropriate times. IMS is far from perfect at orchestrating all of this – but we are constantly working at it. When it all comes together and you have the institutions and suppliers all working together toward the same end it is truly a beautiful thing. I think probably Michael sensed some of that at the meeting.
Michael: "The first indicator that things are different at the IMS these days is the health of the community. Membership has quadrupled. Interestingly, there was also a very strong K12 contingent at the meeting this year, which is new. This trend is accelerating. According to Rob, the IMS has averaged adding about 20 new members a year for the last eight years but has added 25 so far in 2014. Implementations of IMS standards is also way up."
Rob's elaboration: To us IMS is an organization that enables the education sector to collaborate in the leadership of educational and learning technology. Seems like a strange thing to say, but as I pointed out in a 2007 EDUCAUSE Review article (see Innovation, Adoption and Learning Impact: Creating the Future of IT), the education segment does not invest much R&D compared to other segments and without collaboration every institution (all very small businesses – even the largest) spend most of the time and effort they do invest in reinventing what their colleagues at other institutions are doing. This is still a lesson that we are all learning. But, our approach to IMS has been to lay this out to the sector and basically say, "Hey, we can give you a platform for collaboration, but it's up to you to fund it and make it succeed." If you're not supportive it will fail, if you are it will succeed. So far, IMS has grown from a very small standards activity to being on par with the largest and most stable in the world including horizontal and vertical standards organizations.
Michael: "The IMS is just knocking the cover off the ball in terms of its current and near-term prospective impact. This is not your father's standards body. But I think the IMS is still just warming up."
Rob's elaboration: One does get the sense that despite very strong growth the last eight years that IMS may be accelerating. My personal view is that there is an enormous opportunity for institutions and suppliers in the segment to shape the future right now as digital support for learning and education is accelerating. The concept that is the foundation of IMS, namely that true cross-platform plug and play apps, content and data in support of greater personalization, more distinctive educational programs and more effective educational programs, is a game changer. And, this is truly a charge that educational institutions can and should lead. After all, who should be inventing the future of education? And, I also expect that much of this IMS work is going to make its way into more horizontal application across other industries (not education only) and the general web.

The Real Lessons from InBloom
Not more than a couple of weeks after my blog post on Gates' Foundation LRMI and its motivating program InBloom it was announced that InBloom will be "winding down."
InBloom strictly speaking is a non-profit corporation set up by the Gates Foundation to provide open source software to implement a data collection system at the state level capable of collecting and analyzing data from (what was hoped to be) numerous educational applications at the district level providing information on student progress. Before the InBloom non-profit was "spun out" the work was incubated under the auspices of the Gates Foundation via a project called first the Shared Learning Initiative (SLI) and later the Shared Learning Collaborative (SLC).
We use the term "InBloom" here to represent the entire sequence of work from inception that led to InBloom inclusive, not just the non-profit corporation work.
The stated reason for the wind down of InBloom has focused on one potential adopter – the state of New York – where InBloom has been highly criticized because of potential data privacy issues.
However, I think we need to remember that InBloom was highly touted by the venerable CCSSO (Chief Council of State School Officers) – representing virtually all the U.S. states, funded by the Gates Foundation to the tune of $100-200 million (starting from the initial Shared Learning Infrastructure / Collaborative) and endorsed by at least a half dozen states at the formation of InBloom (with the hope that many, many states would adopt), not to mention support from major industry consortia like SIIA.
The reality is that the SLI/SLC/InBloom ended up being rejected by a much larger body of potential participants than the state of New York. Therefore, focusing on New York alone and the single issue of data privacy doesn't fully capture the key lessons that many of us already knew and must now solidify based on the InBloom experience. After all, education is about learning and if we can't learn from our experiences then it speaks volumes about our education. From the perspective of IMS there were numerous fundamental mistakes made in the planning and execution of InBloom. Here are some of the key ones:
Spending a lot of money to reinvent the wheel usually doesn't make much sense. While better use of data in education is a good thing there was not anything that was a breakthrough technically speaking from InBloom. Many, many suppliers could have provided the InBloom capability (which was basically a data warehouse). It appears that Gates decided to pick one favored contractor because they were impatient and/or not wanting to work with existing industry providers. In addition, pretty much every aspect of InBloom was already covered in existing education sector interoperability standards – and this was completely ignored.
You can have a lot of people around the table, but if they aren't the right people the net result will probably be wrong. It certainly seems like Gates decided to focus on the states/CCSSO because of the power position they had in terms of adopting the Common Core standards. The problem is that state government is generally not where the "rubber hits the road" in terms of student learning. Yes, there are many caring administrators at the state level who want to do the right thing, but it's in the schools and the school districts where better learning and teaching needs to occur. It doesn't take much experience engaging with the K-12 sector to understand that there is a huge divide in most states between the states and the districts. To the districts the idea of sending data to the state and expecting something good to happen is a very big stretch of the imagination. The people that are the good teachers are too busy helping students learn to get involved in pie in the sky projects.
"Small" (read:) actionable data is much more important than big data in education. Readers of this blog have already read what IMS has learned from engaging with the education sector today and a general understanding of where we are in the evolution of education systems historically speaking. The future of education is not about big or massive. The future of education is about diversity and distinctiveness. The future is about using data to help individual students by putting it in the hands of someone that cares (the student, the parent, the mentor, the teacher).
Working with the education sector is likely to produce a better result than trying to end-run it. InBloom was an attempt to end-run districts, existing suppliers, and, yes, existing standards organizations like IMS Global. To be honest, most we have talked to perceive InBloom as a Microsoft style (or any dominant vendor) platform play (no offense meant here to Mr. Gates as we would doubt he had anything to do with the strategy). It goes like this: We will give you the platform and then dominate the market. The problem with going it alone is that existing collaborations in the education sector that are worth their salt (we like to think that IMS is one of them) provide a huge base of historical knowledge as well as existing base of collaboration that helps guide things in the right direction while actually getting there faster and cheaper.
Open source is not open standards – and to build collaboration it is open standards that work best. Lot's of folks have been reiterating this for a long time now. It's so very simple really. With open source you have code that includes things like APIs. But those APIs are evolved by a single controlling entity and not governed by a community. Thus, the controlling entity drives it. This is why the world has numerous standards organizations of all shapes and sizes. Open standards define standards that any party can use, can be implemented in a variety of APIs/programming languages and that are evolved and governed by a defined and legally bound community process.
We hate to see good money wasted in IMS – as we work very hard for the membership dues we collect. Wasting of $100-200 million is pretty inexcusable in our world. In fact, it's very sad to think what good that money could have achieved.
Our sincere hope is that leaders in this sector – including those that had a hand in InBloom– do not hide behind red herrings like privacy issues in one state. Leaders in education need to learn from their mistakes and course correct. The InBloom mistakes were numerous and fundamental – and pretty visible right from the start. What about data privacy, wasn't that a core issue? We don't see it that way. The data privacy concern was just a symptom – not the root cause.
While IMS never saw InBloom as a direct competitor, the reality is that in the time it took to spend that $100-200 million on InBloom – IMS continues to grow organically and has issued over 280 conformance certifications for interoperable learning platforms, tools, applications and resources – and is now building data collection capability via open standards (Caliper) into all of these. Hmmm . . . kind of sounds like a shared learning collaborative of some kind since there are over 240 collaborating organizations in IMS. Investment required to get here: Less than $10 million spread among 240 members.
Interesting contrast in approaches and results.

Critical Milestone Met: Conformance Certification by Leading e-Assessment Product Suppliers
Today's IMS announcement of the first group of winning products and organizations to undergo conformance certifications for QTI and APIP is a very, very big step for e-assessment interoperability worldwide.
For years, no decades, the majority of e-assessment suppliers worldwide have been riding for free on the back of the IMS Question & Test Interoperability TM (QTI TM) specification. QTI has been a labor of love and importance within IMS and led by organizations such as SURF, JISC, University of Cambridge, ETS, BPS Bildungsportal Sachsen (BPS) and University of Pierre & Marie Curie.
These organizations, other than ETS, are not household names in most of U.S. education sector. But they tirelessly carried the load of developing really the world's only viable interoperability standard for digital interoperability of tests, test items and associated results.
About two years ago the U.S. decided to invest in the Common Core learning standards for K-12 and also launched the Race-to-the-Top Assessment program to encourage states to cooperate on designing and delivering new electronic assessments in conjunction with the Common Core. Shortly ahead of that IMS collaborated with a group of U.S. states to define an evolution of QTI called APIP TM (Accessible Portable Item Protocol TM)which consists of QTI plus some new features to address requirements for special needs students. And, the Netherlands also began partnering with IMS to develop a countrywide initiative to evolve to e-assessment starting with one particular test (similar to the U.S. SAT or college entrance).
These investments in e-assessment have led to a dramatic rise in participation in QTI and APIP in IMS. If you look at the IMS membership list today it is arguably the who's who of leading assessment organizations, certainly in the U.S. but also perhaps worldwide. The IMS APIP/QTI work over the last 2 years has been co-chaired by Measured Progress, ETS and Pearson with heavy involvement from McGraw-Hill CTB, ACT, Pacific Metrics, NWEA, Data Recognition Corporation and a variety of other assessment industry heavy weights. And in the Netherlands CITO has been leading the charge.
Life has been good. But market development and adoption of standards is always a kind of "chicken and egg" sort of thing. As mentioned at the very beginning of this post worldwide assessment suppliers of many stripes had been talking up QTI for a very long time. Problem was that every supplier had their own version of QTI and therefore very little interoperability ensued. As we have discussed in other posts, this type of standardization does not deliver on the actual cost and time reduction that standards need to deliver on in the digital world. If conformance to a standard still requires lots of custom programming to get interoperability, well, then it isn't a very good standard.
Thus, realizing this issues of "loose standards" running rampant in the ed tech sector the IMS members decided to get serious – and also save themselves lots of time and money in redoing integrations – by implementing IMS conformance certification. As we have discussed elsewhere, IMS conformance certification is not a marketing program (although those that go through it obviously do have the right to market that fact) but more of a "UL certified" designation of getting through a testing program. The conformance certification is much more than a "final test to the specification." The conformance certification program is actually critical to evolving to the best possible specification for the needs of the marketplace. Typically only by going through the testing can the specification be refined and improved. IMS has seen this process work over and over again with all our specifications the last several years.
The problem is that many vendors often kind of "hope for a miracle" many times with specifications. They hope that even without going through implementation and testing that magically a specification will work. I think anyone that has ever developed software and does a little projecting of that experience on to a specification – that essentially must bring together the development process/experience of numerous software products – will realize that a good specification requires development participation and feedback from multiple vendors. The IMS conformance certification process – and ongoing developer community and related specification evolution (we call it an APMG: Accredited Profile Management Group) – is that "hub" where the development experience of the multiple suppliers comes together into a great specification.
It's really a very simple concept but it is greatly complicated by the realities of new markets and new product development where suppliers are challenged to respond to the needs of their project deliverables and the needs to cooperate on the standards testing and evolution.
All that background so that you know that what IMS announced today, that five leading organizations have now completed conformance certification for APIP/QTI across a range of product types, is a huge step forward for the e-assessment community. By "community" we mean the suppliers and the states and end-users of e-assessments. In addition to the leadership shown by the suppliers listed in this post, this milestone has required exemplary leadership from the end-user organizations that have been key partners in this, namely Maryland, Minnesota, WIDA, Smarter Balanced and the College Voor Examens Netherlands.
We are still relatively early in the adoption of high quality e-assessment worldwide. But what today's announcement proves is that leading supplier and end-user organizations can come together to enable all the many benefits of interoperable assessments (for a more detailed discussion of these benefits see What You Need to Know About e-Assessment).
It is now time for those organizations that have either gathered around the IMS QTI/APIP table or been long claiming that they are "conforming" to these standards, to contribute to the community by participating in the conformance certification process.
Today's announced winners were:

Hap's Got Apps! FAQ regarding the IMS Connected Learning Innovation Community and Challenge
IMS announced today the winners of our first (of what we expect to be many) annual connected learning innovation challenge (aka app challenge – but this is a bit of a misnomer because the challenge is as much about platforms and tools as apps). And, our eternal hats off to Instructure Canvas for creating the idea for an App Challenge and conducting the first ever last year in conjunction with their annual conference.
We say "Hap's got apps" because Hap Aziz is the IMS wrangler for this emerging education and learning app community.
Here's an FAQ about the challenge, including plans going forward.
Q: How many entries and how many winners were there?
A: There were 22 entries and 5 top apps were selected as the winners.
Q: Where can I see the entries and the winners?
A: The winners are summarized in the press release and on the App Challenge Winner web page. The winners and the other entries are also listed toward the bottom of the LTI certified product web page. You can also sign-up to get the (roughly) monthly CLIC (Connected Learning Innovation Community) newsletter here – which will have features on the winning and other notable apps as well as community news.
Q: Who chose the winners and how were they chosen?
A: Many thanks to a panel of expert evaluators , primarily institutional leaders, but a few suppliers, who developed a rubric for the evaluation. My understanding is that there was excellent convergence on the winners.
Q: Are these "apps" like the kind of apps available on Google Play or iTunes?
A: No – these IMS app challenge apps are generally a lot better because they are powered with LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability). That's because these are apps that can connect into over 25 different learning environments/platforms including all of the major learning management systems. Thus, these are "cross-platform" apps, unlike Apple or Google apps which generally only work on Apple. Or Google. In addition the IMS app challenge apps exchange highly useful information with the over 25 learning environments/platforms, such as user information, rosters, progress data, etc. So, the IMS app challenge apps are real enterprise learning apps and not the sort of limited individual user apps people download to their mobile device from PlayStore or iTunes.
Q: "Could" mobile apps such as those downloaded from Google Play or iTunes become IMS LTI Apps?
A: That's a bit of a complicated question because it involves software architecture and software architecture limitations of the operating systems involved, but the general answer is 'yes'. The web-hosted "back-end" of mobile apps as well as the apps themselves could potentially leverage LTI (and/or other IMS standards) to connect to learning environments/platforms. To date we have not had any great examples of this but it is only a matter of time before it will happen.
Q: Was there money or other recognition involved in the Challenge?
A: Yes, each of the top five will receive a $1000 prize and also will be recognized at the IMS Learning Impact Leadership Institute May 5-8, 2014 in New Orleans. There will also be a plenary panel and entire track on connected learning at the event, facilitated by Hap Aziz, with many of the entrants and evaluators as participants.
Q: Where did the money come from?
A: A huge debt of gratitude is owed to the organizations that were financial supporters of the challenge and community. They made it possible. Cengage Learning, Ellucian, Follett, Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne, Instructure Canvas, McGraw-Hill Education, Oracle, Pearson, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Vital Source. The initiative requires ongoing support and if your organization would like to sponsor in the future, please contact us at [email protected].
Q: Were you pleased with the quality of the entrants and winners?
A: Very much so. The winners were a mix of small (including tiny) and larger organizations. The top vote getter, Hoot.me, was an extremely innovative combination of the educational enterprise with Facebook. This reflects a trend in which innovative faculty want to take advantage of existing non-educational applications, but couple them with their campus software platforms. And, all five of the top winners were similarly highly innovative in terms of what they enable faculty, students and/or administrators to do – and that's what this is all about – making innovation easier!
Q: Isn't a non-connected app just as innovative?
A: Nice try, but not really. "Innovation" is not just about whether an application is novel. It also has to be useful (in fact some definitions of the word take into account adoption/usage as a critical aspect of innovation). Apps that are easy to access and use are a lot more useful in the education space than those that aren't. Having to enter student roster data or having separate logins or going to a different URL for an app is not at all cool. But, more importantly, these extra steps detract from the innovativeness. Faculty and students need to focus on learning and not on configuring software.
Q: Is the IMS Connected Learning Innovation Challenge going to become an annual thing?
A: Yes. We are on an annual schedule of app boot camp for developers at our August quarterly meeting, promotion at Fall EDUCAUSE, promotion at Winter EDUCAUSE ELI and announcement of annual winners during the run-up to the annual Learning Impact event in May.
Q: Is IMS going to do more to make it easier to find apps than the current LTI catalog web page?
A: Yes. The Connected Learning Innovation Community is also sponsoring the Community App Sharing/Store Architecture (CASA) project. Indeed, CASA is more than a whitepaper! It is open source software that is being developed by a collaborating group of IMS HED institutions, led by UCLA and the University of California System. CASA is a breakthrough. It's a peer-to-peer app sharing architecture that will enable institutions or suppliers to partake in a network of cross-platform educational app sharing. The very first public demonstrations of CASA will occur at the IMS Learning Impact Leadership Institute May 5-8, 2014 in New Orleans. For more background on CASA see this post.
Q: Is the Connected Learning Innovation Community (CLIC) meant to be an open source community?
A: Yes. IMS expects that for those institutions or suppliers that wish to share and collaborate on open source apps, tools or platforms that implement the IMS standards CLIC will evolve into a vibrant software collaboration. We like to say that this is like "an open source community on steroids" because the software developed will run cross-platform. So, whereas the current open source collaborations like Sakai and Moodle have been and will continue to be great, this is a different kind of community that adds a completely new dimension of cross-platform/cross-community.
Q: Where is the K-12 community in this? A: IMS expects that K-12 institutions and/or states will begin to participate – it's only a matter of time and resources. HED has taken the lead here because HED institutions are developing lots of LTI apps on their own. And, HED is more used to these sort of development collaborations. But K-12 is coming.

Why Does IMS Global Learning Consortium Publish an Annual Report?
Today IMS released our annual report for the calendar and fiscal year 2013. See the press release. See the annual report.
Producing an annual report is a lot of work – and these days when it seems like very few people have time to read one might ask why do we take the time and effort to do this? We first published an annual report for the year 2009 – so 2013 is the fifth edition.
I think there were really two catalysts that got us to publish the report.
The first was that after I came into IMS as the CEO in 2006 it became obvious that not even the Board of Directors much less all stakeholders in IMS were getting accurate financial data and other metrics on the organization. First we corrected the situation for the Board but then the Board also vowed that we should be providing this information to the members and the stakeholders.
The second catalyst was Jan Posten Day, who at the time was with Blackboard, and is now with Pearson. As a member of one of our leadership committees in IMS Jan was adamant that IMS should have an annual report. At the time Jan suggested this we were struggling to keep the organization afloat and I pushed back on the idea because it just seemed like we could not pull it off. But Jan's insistence made an impression on myself and the other staff – and I think it was within a year or so that we dug deep and got out the 2009 report.
As you will see in this year's report, IMS has been growing nicely now for eight consecutive years.
In fact, even though there has been quite a bit of churn in the member base over that time, the consistency in the net growth has been a little scary. It's scary because we have looked long and hard and have not found any other similar growth pattern in organizations similar to IMS. Indeed during this same period most other organizations classified as "standards consortia" have generally been flat to declining. And, if you look at the historical patterns for standards consortia they tend to grow very rapidly when first originated and then flatten or tail off.
So, IMS is an organization in unchartered territory. In my mind it is all about leadership in terms of which way it will go. IMS has provided a viable organization for those organizations, institutions and suppliers, who wish to evolve an unprecedented collaboration to new heights. Or, those afraid of the disruption that IMS is enabling may slow it down. Everyday I see forces on both sides of that equation and think it's going to be very interesting indeed as we go forward.
However, I assure you that, means willing, IMS will be publishing the report whether or not the results are as rosy as they have been. Indeed when we began publishing the report we had no idea that the chart data would keep going up for the next 5 years!
But, here's why I think the report is useful and why you should give it a look:
In one relatively short document you get a full view of the work of IMS – which is not easy to see if you are focused on one or a few IMS initiatives.
You can see how the organization is doing in terms of building momentum and in terms of financial strength.
You can get a great a very summary of the major thrust of IMS and the key initiatives - and a concise commentary on why we are doing what we do.
You can see the individuals and organizations that are leading IMS.
It is a format that can be easily shared with someone else whom you might want to introduce the organization to or update on IMS progress.
Hopefully the experience of perusing the report should give you a sense that IMS is indeed a non-profit organization worthy of your support because IMS is changing the education and learning sectors for the better. And, if you look at the range of initiatives that IMS is undertaking you can feel pride in that your support has made this progress possible. I assure you that without your support this work would not have happened – not only not have happened in IMS, but most likely would not have happened anywhere. IMS is that unique in the leadership and collaboration for progress to the education and learning sectors.
As with most "things IMS" the annual report is a testament to leadership. Not the leadership of the IMS staff, but the leadership of the IMS members, both organizations and individuals (like Jan Day above) who are insistent that we must do better in enabling the next generation of education and learning!

Does IMS Have a Strategy?
Please excuse the long time since the last blog folks. IMS is adding a lot of new members and staff supporting an unprecedented array of exciting initiatives – which has kept yours truly very busy the last few months.
We are now in the final push toward our annual Learning Impact event, May 5-8 in New Orleans, USA. While this is also a busy time we've got a great chance at the event and before to be talking about where we are and where we are going in IMS. We hope you will join the conversation! Consider this a first installment.
The (perhaps) provocative title of this post is actually one that we are sometimes asked. After all, IMS is very much a "bottoms-up" meritocracy, like many other organizations that develop interoperability standards. Most of the ideas in IMS, and certainly the best ideas, come from the individuals that are participating on behalf of their member organizations. And, IMS is a true membership organization (legally organized as such) that provides a level playing field for organizations of all sizes – a construct that we think provides a very good structure for what we do as previously described here. So, when the members speak – we listen – and usually act.
IMS does have a strategy. IMS has an elected Board of Directors that helps formulate the strategy. But, the strategy is very organic, flowing and dynamic. New ideas brought forward by the members go through a certain "due diligence" that occurs by putting the idea in front of key stakeholders – those most motivated to act – and adjusting accordingly (including sometimes putting on the shelf until further interest). Having much experience in the venture capital world I will tell you that it is much like the funneling of ideas/business plans that every VC firm goes through in terms of the process of looking at the risks and opportunities involved.
So, the resulting IMS strategy is a function of bubbling up, testing (against the critical concepts of adoption and learning impact) and organizing into something as coherent as we can make it given what is actually happening in the sector and various sub-segments. And occasionally adding some key missing pieces that for whatever reason have not bubbled up – like for instance members not willing to share in an area that is actually good for them to share.
For several years past this process unfolded into an IMS strategy centered on what we have called the "Digital Learning Services" standards, focused on (but not limited to) Common Cartridge, Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) and Learning Information Services (LIS).
The strategic theory behind the DLS focus was that together these standards would solve a very large percentage of the integration challenges in/with the education enterprise. And, in fact, while different pieces have evolved and been adopted at differing rates, we think this thesis has largely turned out to be on target. See the accompanying charts on growth in IMS membership during this strategy and growth more recently in the conformance certifications that are the market adoption proof point. Notice the 97 certifications in 2013 – almost 2 a week. So far in 2014 we are averaging close to 3 a week. In other words, this strategy is still taking hold, but clearly it is taking hold in a big way!
However, the IMS strategy has definitely shifted beyond DLS in the last year or so. First of all, e-assessment, an area IMS has had some activity in for a long while via QTI (and a subset of which is covered in Common Cartridge) became a hot area. The very simple idea that electronic assessments if done right are much more affordable and scalable than paper assessments coupled with the very obvious idea that there should be open formats to enable the e-assessment ecosystem of suppliers and states has come of age (both in the U.S. and other nations such as the Netherlands). Second, now that the IMS DLS standards are working – radically reducing cost, time, complexity of seamless integration – our attention is naturally now turning to what can be enabled with the standards.
While there may not be complete agreement in the IMS community (given its size and diverse nature) over what we should be enabling with the standards, here are the current thoughts – and thus, the strategy going forward:
The power of LTI (first v1 and now v2) to reduce cost and time of achieving seamless integration by 10-1000x will soon lead to 1-click integration. IMS-enabled applications will be auto negotiating which IMS services are supported – thus revolutionizing the ease with which standards-based applications will be incorporated into the teaching and learning process.
#1 enabling a very diverse open ecosystem of new types of learning platforms and applications and potentially rearranging the ordering of integrations – very much an "app to app" model of cooperation with or without a learning management "system" in the middle.
Merging LTI with the IMS work on student information (LIS) and course planning and scheduling (CPS) exchange to continue to open up the educational enterprise via easy to use standards.
Establishing and growing the "educational app community" – like an open source community on steroids that builds things that work across platforms (the "things" may be open source or not, but there should be tools to enable this that are open source). This is a remarkable new type of community indeed – suppliers and institutions working together across platform – kind of like the worldwide web but focused on the education vertical.
Enabling what most refer to as e-books or e-texts as a highly interoperable format across a wide variety of e-readers/mobile devices for the needs of learning and education. See EDUPUB.
Making instrumentation / measurement of learning activities easy to enable collection of analytics – big and small data. See Caliper Analytics.
Including everything we've learned and are learning about e-assessment across #4-6, meaning that we've got the standards to enable innovative assessment apps, enable assessment in e-text and the enable easy instrumentation of assessment in learning platforms and apps (via Caliper and the outcomes standards developed on QTI/APIP).
Utilize the standards to create an open source reference implementation for a peer-to-peer app sharing framework that can be used to do, well, what it says – share apps with trusted partners and encourage using standards to do this – thus, the enabling of a standards-based "app store" or "app sharing" equivalent to iTunes, etc. See CASA.
Perhaps though, most importantly, IMS is making great progress with our end-user/institutional led groups to ensure that all of these initiatives are in fact getting them where they want to go. Our K-12 district advisory board (I3LC) continues to grow and our new HED connected learning advisory board is shepherding the app community, the app sharing architecture, analytics and competency-based learning initiatives.
Hopefully you will see the evolution of the IMS strategy in the above. The IMS community is making change happen in some very substantial ways and I invite you to partake at the May 5-8 Learning Impact event – where the breakout tracks mirror the strategy areas above and the plenary sessions undertake the broader discussion of "why" we are doing this in terms of the emergent models of education that we wish to enable.

How is the IMS Learning Impact Report different than the Horizon Report?
Today IMS Global announced the release of the Learning Impact Report. The Learning Impact report endeavors to provide an analysis of the winners of the IMS Learning Impact Awards (LIAs). The LIAs have been an annual global competition since 2007. However, this is only the 2nd report – the first was a brief summary analysis released in 2010.
As opposed to awards for the latest and greatest products the LIAs are based on evaluation of use of technology "in context" at an institution, a state, or sometimes across an entire nation or continent. The context provides evidence across eight dimensions of impact that experts use to provide ratings that are used to select the winners. The judges select the winners – IMS does not. The idea behind the analysis provided in the Learning Impact report is that by looking across the winners in the current year, as well as historically, can provide some insight into the types of projects, initiatives, and R&D that is having impact or impact potential.
The other important factor to understand is that IMS as an organization has over 15 years of history of being on the leading edge on pretty much every type of educational technology, including learning management, e-portfolio, e-assessment, learning design, etc. Thus the entries are somewhat over representative of developments ahead of the general market.
The net-net of these factors is that we thought that there might be some interesting information obtained by looking across the medal winners and the finalists (those selected to come to the Learning Impact conference to be considered for a medal). It is certainly very interesting to simply attempt to ascertain the high impact "project categories" – which we had to develop ourselves by looking across the nominations (as the submitters did invent these project categories nor were they asked to submit in a project category).
We are hoping now to be able to release the Learning Impact report annually, largely because of the institutional leadership behind it (please contact me if interested in becoming involved in the annual report).
Even though I feel that the above explanation is fairly obvious with respect to the uniqueness of what the Learning Impact Awards focus on, I wanted to provide here a bit of an excerpt from the Learning Impact report that helps explain how it is different from probably the widest read report on new technologies in the education space, namely the Horizon Report. Here is that excerpt:
In terms of comparison to other reports there may be a temptation to compare the Learning Impact Report to the annual Horizon Report(s), of which there are K-12, HED and regional editions. However, because the Learning Impact Report takes the approach of focusing on project types rather than attempting to identify specific technologies and their adoption timeframes (as is the nature of the Horizon Report), the two reports are quite complementary. The reader of this report and any version of the Horizon Report can draw their own conclusions by comparing and contrasting the information provided. To illustrate, the following bullets are a couple of examples of how this Learning Impact Report could potentially help clarify technologies placed in the "one year or less" time to adoption horizon from the 2013 Horizon Report.
Massively Open Online Courses: The Learning Impact analysis would see MOOCs as a type of "Blended Learning Optimization" project. As shown in Figure 3A, these types of projects have not yet achieved mainstream effectiveness in the opinion of IMS. That does not mean that there is not a particular instance of a MOOC that has been effective. What it does mean is that from IMS's perspective, based on the cumulative evidence, the widespread, high impact adoption of projects in this category is not apparent in the near term. Thus, we would potentially modify the Horizon Report's findings by pointing out that (a) there are many variations of the Blended Learning Optimization concept that institutions should be considering depending on their goals (some examples of which are given in this report), and (b) these are not easy projects to implement at this point in time.
Tablet Computing: Tablets have definitely exploded onto the education scene. From IMS's perspective we ask if indeed they are being leveraged to improve Learning Impact? In the 2010 Learning Impact Report we identified the category of Mobile Learning Resources as being in its early stages. However, in the current report we have eliminated that category because literally all other project categories need to in some way encompass the requirements of mobile devices. IMS has also seen some very innovative and high scoring projects that have had tablets as a primary platform, some of which are now appearing in the Platform Innovation category, but may also appear in other categories depending on the project focus. However, improving Learning Impact specifically from the deployment of tablets typically requires an adjustment of teaching and learning models as well as technology being integrated in new ways. Therefore, we have primarily seen pilot projects that require substantial resources to put in place. Thus IMS would conclude that while tablets are a given, achieving substantial impact requires further development.
Finally, it should also be noted that in the production of this report IMS takes advantage of a unique viewpoint of the educational technology landscape facilitated by a flourishing collaboration among many of the world's leading educational technology providers and institutions occurring in IMS's many face-to-face meetings worldwide. To enter the Learning Impact Awards competition look here.
IMS: Enabling innovative new products
One of the great things about the annual EDUCAUSE conference is hearing the many stories about how IMS standards have enabled innovative new software applications to easily integrate into the educational enterprise. You might think that IMS knows everything about every application of IMS standards. I'd estimate that we typically know about 1/3 of what is actually occurring "out there" - just based on some off the cuff measurement by how often we are surprised or not surprised by something we hear about. The very weird thing is that sometimes the things we don't hear about are really big adoptions of IMS.
Anyway, please let us know what you are doing so we can help get the word out!
Ray Henderson has recently posted this blog: My Investment Thesis for IN THE TELLING about a start-up he has invested in called "In the Telling." As you can "tell" by the name the product has something to do with "stories." The more mundane name for what is being offered here is "flipped classroom" - use the out of class time to watch the lectures, use the in the class time for more meaningful interaction.
Problem is that getting students to do anything out of class is a challenge these days. So, In the Telling provides a unique approach that helps the instructor create a story with narration. In essence they are creating a documentary of sorts that is more compelling than a simple lecture.
I have not seen any of the output of In the Telling yet - but the idea is very intriguing. As someone who has bought more than my share of "great lectures" on various media in which I never made it past the first 30 minutes . . . well, I think better ways to teach is what we need to be investing in.
But, the crowning achievement with respect to IMS comes in the following words from Ray's blog:
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL MODERN LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: The Company designed their solution assuming that the launch point for most learner experiences would begin within an LMS. This is, after all, the way most assignments are made. The platform is built using the IMS Global's open standard for systems integration—Learning Tool Interoperability or "LTI"—which most modern LMS platforms now natively support. Students can initiate sessions with the platform just as they might with any other assignment, and the same basic usage statistics recorded by the LMS are preserved.
IMS is very proud to be a part of enabling the rapid rise of innovation in the edtech community!

Green for its level of support required.
We are delighted to have sustained this positon of excellence from last year (Standards Group 1; Group A; and Green). It reflects an enormous amount of hard work from our brilliant staff and pupils. Our GCSE and A Level examination results, over the last two years, have been the best in the school's history. We will continue to focus on ensuing that our young people leave school as successful learners who have developed a love of learning and are confident, caring citizens who make a positive contribution to society.
What is the National School Categorisation System?
The National School Categorisation System provides a systematic view of a school's performance, based on publicly available data and the school's own self-evaluation in respect of leadership, learning and teaching.
The system offers a holistic approach to school improvement, which allows the regional consortia challenge advisers to take the context of the school into account when determining the level of support a school requires to support it to improve.
The National School Categorisation system gives us a clear and fair picture of how well our school is performing compared with other schools across Wales.
The system is based on three simple steps. It is not purely data-driven and takes into account the quality of leadership, teaching and learning in our schools.
Step One: Standards group: a range of information is used to make a judgement about the school's standards, resulting in a standards Group. Standards group 1 is the group that performs most strongly against the agreed measures.
Step Two: Improvement capacity: an evaluation of the school's capacity to improve further, taking account of the evidence about the standards and the quality of leadership, teaching and learning, resulting in an improvement capacity. Schools where the judgement is an A show the greatest capacity to improve along with the ability to support other schools.
Step Three: Support category: bringing the judgement on the standards group and improvement capacity together to decide on the school's support category, colour coded either green, yellow, amber or red. | {

A Jelgava City Council member allegedly assaulted another council member over a proposal to give money to poor residents in the area during Christmas. Viktors Valainis of the Zemgale Party reportedly attacked Social Democrat Janis Berzins after the latter called him a fool during a coffee break. The two reportedly shared a glass of cognac later that day in the mayor's office in an attempt to smooth out differences.
A father-and-son police duo was charged with demanding a 2,000 lat (2,900 euro) bribe from a suspect in a criminal case. The father and son allegedly asked that the money be placed in a locker at Riga's central train station. The two officers have been detained, and if convicted, each will face up to 10 years in prison.
A lawyer, Juris Marins, was detained for allegedly delivering marijuana to an inmate at the Ilguciems women's prison. Marins initially denied bringing the drugs into the prison but later allegedly admitted that he had passed along an envelope from the prisoner's sister.
Former MP Janis Razna was sentenced to 12 years in jail by the Zemgale Regional Court for murder, reducing the previous charge of aggravated murder. Razna was also fined 750 lats (1,100 euros) for the legal expenses of the sons of the woman he murdered, as well as 678 lats in court expenses. Marite Dreijere was found murdered in Mezotne county at the company Lielmezotne on Dec. 23, 2003. Dreijere had been shot in the chest, and Razna later confessed to the murder. At the time of the murder Razna was a member of the Mezotne County Council, but had at one time been a member of the national Parliament with the Democratic Party Saimnieks. | {

Childhood favorites revisited: Save the Last Dance
Date: March 22, 2013Author: Lindsey 0 Comments
Save the Last Dance (2001) was one of the films that started the "dance film" craze of the new millennium, following in the '80s footsteps of Footloose (1984) and Dirty Dancing (1987).
Opening on the holiday weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. day and raking in over $130,000,000 during its run (over $25,000,000 of which was made on opening weekend), there's no question as to why the studios wanted to replicate the film's success: it was the largest opening ever for that particular weekend of the year.
Our collective attention now seems to be turned toward stories about singers (thanks a lot, Glee), but the "dance film" genre did have enough of a millennial revival to get its own awful, feature-length parody film in 2009.
(Image: toutlecine)
I was nine years old, about half a year away from turning 10 when this film was released in January of 2001. I can't remember exactly what attracted me to it or why I loved it so much, but I owned it on VHS. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I always wanted but was never able to take dance classes.
Whatever the reason, it was a frequent re-watch for my sister and I. (If there's one thing I'm learning from this Childhood Favorites Revisited series, it's that my sister and I clearly had Oscar-caliber taste in films.)
The film follows Sara (Julia Stiles), a ballet dancer who is forced to move from the 'burbs to Chicago to live with her dad after her mom passes away. Relations are strained between father and daughter, who have never had much of a relationship.
Sara starts up at her new high school, which she finds is nothing like she's used to because she is one of little more than a handful of white students who go there.
Though out of her usual cheery, suburban environment, Sara has no trouble quickly making a friend (Chenille, portrayed by Kerry Washington) and eventually falling for that friend's brother (Derek, portrayed by Sean Patrick Thomas), who shares her love for dance.
(Image: movpins)
Sara, the central character of this film, is pretty obnoxious. I feel less sympathy for her re-watching the film now than I did when watching it as a kid. She's a total brat!
She's grieving the loss of her mother, which is completely understandable, but she refuses to acknowledge the fact that her estranged father is doing the best he can and constantly treats him with disrespect. I also get a serious dose of second-hand embarrassment whenever she tries to act like a bad ass.
That being said, Julia Stiles does give an effective performance. She pulls of the "awkward girl, bobbing her head at the club" side of the character especially well.
Luckily, there are a lot of better-conceived side characters (and supporting performances) here to distract from Sara's more annoying qualities.
In terms of the story itself, Roger Ebert's 3-star review of the film notes: "The setup promises cliches, but the development is intelligent, the characters are more complicated than we expect, and the ending doesn't tie everything up in a predictable way." I have to agree with him here. For all of its flaws, the film does feature some interesting character development and isn't all too predictable.
There are a few moments of high emotional impact. It is in these moments that the viewer must wonder: if catastrophes (car accidents, shootouts) happen every time Sara tries to make it big in ballet, isn't it time to let those dreams simmer down?
Save the Last Dance holds up fairly well, watching it 12 years after its initial release. In its weaker moments it's worth watching for a few laughs, but in its strongest moments it's still an effective film.

Yams may be gone, but he's still guiding A$AP Mob to prosperity.
On January 28, 2015, Steven "A$AP Yams" Rodriguez died at the tender age of 26. His death was ruled as an accidental drug overdose, which may have been further complicated by an existing sleep apnea disorder. Whatever the official cause of death, Yams' passing was devastating for both A$AP Mob and hip-hop as a whole.
The self-described Yoda to Rocky's Luke Skywalker, A$AP Yams was a colorful, popular personality who was both the sonic and spiritual leader of A$AP Mob. Beyond his marketing vision and hilarious tweets, Yams was also a true student of the game whose deep knowledge of hip-hop—from Harlem to Houston—helped mold the Pretty Flacko we see today.
Before his untimely passing, A$AP Yams had begun masterminding an A$AP Mob album that also incorporated some of his favorite artists beyond the group. Over the last year, Rocky and the rest of the crew buckled down and finished the project—in London, mostly—following the blueprints Yams left behind. The end result is Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends, which finally dropped today (October 31).
The album, graced by an adorable photo of A$AP Yams as a baby, clocks in at 12 tracks and features recurring appearances from A$AP Mob's usual suspects, including Rocky, Ferg, Nast, Twelvyy and Ant. Perhaps the biggest draw, however, is the sprawling supporting cast that brings together different generations (Onyx and Offset), coasts (Tyler, The Creator and Lil Yachty) and even continents (Skepta).
A$AP Yams would be proud.
I wrote about this song when it dropped earlier this month, and it's only grown on me since. The track fits perfectly into A$AP Rocky's short film Money Man—specifically, the scene where he plots revenge against his gang leader for kicking him out of the crew for dating his younger sister—but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed in the context of Cozy Tapes. A$AP Rocky's promethazine flow may be wildly different from Skepta's more intense, sobering approach, but the Houston-flavored production makes this transatlantic collaboration work. Plus, any rap song with a sample of Willie Hutch's "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" is automatically a good rap song (seriously).
It was a toss-up between this and "Telephone Calls" for my third pick. As Brent correctly declared last week, Tyler, The Creator's verse on "Telephone Calls" is absolutely fire. However, so too is Cardo (who's on one hell of a hot streak this year, having also produced Travis Scott's "Goosebumps" and ScHoolboy Q's "That Part") and Yung Exclusive's production on this one. There's nothing necessarily London-influenced about "London Town": the beat is too slow, there are no UK emcees and Rocky only shouts out the "endz" (aka the hood) once. Judging by their set at Red Bull Culture Clash a few years ago, it's probably wise if A$AP Mob don't take a stab at grime.
Instead, "London Town" is a classic anthem about riding foreign featuring the Mob's newest star, Playboi Carti, silent weapon A$AP Ant, and surrogate leader A$AP Rocky, who has flows for days. This one will rattle your trunk, whether it's foreign or not.
A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg have both released albums since A$AP Yams' passing early last year, but Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends is the first project that really captures the essence of their late leader. From the diverse guest list to the expansive sonic palette, Yams' influence can be felt all over this tape, even if he's long gone in the physical.
In many ways, Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends is A$AP Mob's Cruel Summer: a concise yet star-studded 12-track project packed with big records ready-made for the car. Like Cruel Summer, Cozy Tapes probably won't top any album-of-the-year lists in December (it could maybe sneak into a top 20). But as G.O.O.D. Music and TDE look unlikely to release a group project in the foreseeable future, A$AP Mob continue to strive and prosper under the lasting guidance of A$AP Yams.
A$AP Mob's new album is still a good time but tries to add too much to its predecessor.
Calvin Harris' new album is a breezy, low commitment listen that you'll no doubt be hearing on your mall's Spotify playlist for the next decade. | {

Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading cloud platform for helping enterprises provide secure, high-performing user experiences on any device, anywhere, today released its Second Quarter, 2011 State of the Internet report. Based on data gathered from the Akamai Intelligent Platform™, which serves as much as 30 percent of the world's Web traffic at any one time, the report provides insight into key global statistics such as Internet penetration, mobile traffic and data consumption, origins of attack traffic and SSL usage, and global and regional connection speeds.
New to the second quarter 2011 edition of the report are sections breaking out data for the Asia Pacific and Europe regions, complementing the U.S. section of the report. The inclusion of these sections incorporating geographic-specific data is intended to make it easier to put global statistics into regional context and allow readers to more conveniently access data of most interest.
In the second quarter of 2011, more than 604 million unique IP addresses from 238 countries and regions connected to the Akamai Intelligent Platform. This represents 3.4 percent more IP addresses than connected in the first quarter of 2011, and an increase of 21 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Among those countries listed in the top 10 list for the number of unique IPv4 addresses connecting to the Akamai Intelligent Platform during the quarter, Brazil logged the greatest quarter-over-quarter increase at 9.0 percent, growing to over 15 million IP addresses, with Japan's 8.7 percent growth to nearly 45 million IP addresses a close second. For European countries in the top 10, Italy boasted the greatest quarterly gain at 5.4 percent, growing to just over 14 million IP addresses, while Germany mustered an increase of only 0.4 percent, remaining just below 35 million IP addresses. The United States managed to add only 0.6 percent to its unique IP address count, remaining just below 143.5 million IP addresses.
In the second quarter of 2011, the average measured connection speed for known mobile providers worldwide ranged from a high of slightly more than 5 Mbps to a low of 209 kbps. Approximately three-quarters of the surveyed providers had average connection speeds above 1 Mbps.
With regard to average peak connection speeds for the 108 mobile providers worldwide for which Akamai analyzed data, the report highlights a range of 23.4 Mbps as the fastest to 1.2 Mbps as the slowest. Of all such mobile providers, three boasted average peak connection speeds above 20 Mbps, 27 achieved average peak connection speeds above 10 Mbps and 47 recorded average peak connection speeds greater than 5 Mbps. Only one mobile provider (located in South Africa) did not record an average peak connection speed above 2 Mbps.
During the second quarter of 2011, mobile consumption figures remained fairly consistent with data from the first quarter. Users at 10 of the surveyed mobile providers consumed an average of 1 GB or more per month from the Akamai platform. Users at 74 of the surveyed providers consumed greater than 100 MB per month of content from Akamai, and users at the remaining 20 providers consumed less than 100 MB per month.
Through its relationship with Ericsson, Akamai continues to include data collected by the equipment provider in the State of the Internet report. According to Ericsson, the volume of mobile data traffic in the second quarter of 2011 doubled year-over-year and grew eight percent quarter-over-quarter.
In the second quarter of 2011, Taiwan generated the most attack traffic observed by Akamai, bumping last quarter's newcomer to the list, Myanmar, to second place. Looking at total observed attack traffic aggregated by region, Asia Pacific/Oceania generated 47 percent of such attack traffic, Europe 30 percent, the Americas 20 percent, and Africa a mere 3 percent.
SSL is widely used across the Web to enable secure communications with social networks, e-commerce sites and financial services applications, to name a few. SSL ciphers help to create these secure connections and are based on well-known encryption algorithms. New to this quarter's report is an examination of trends in SSL ciphers presented by Web clients to the Akamai Secure Content Delivery Network. Since the beginning of 2009, Akamai notes that use of the SSL cipher AES 128-SHA-1 has nearly tripled while the use of SSL cipher RC4-MD5-128 has declined by almost two-thirds. Interpreting the observed trends, as well as data observed for other SSL ciphers, Akamai believes the use of RC4-based ciphers may reach near-zero levels over the next several years. Furthermore, these trends may indicate a shift towards stronger ciphers, which could lead to SSL becoming more secure over time.
Cities in Asia continue to dominate the list, including 59 cities in Japan, 10 cities in South Korea, as well as Hong Kong.
In the second quarter of 2011, 27 percent of all connections to the Akamai Intelligent Platform were made at high broadband speeds (>5 Mbps). Taking the top spot in high broadband adoption is the Netherlands, which boasts 68 percent of its country's connections to Akamai above 5 Mbps. Hong Kong and South Korea achieved 59 percent and 58 percent high broadband adoption respectively. Within the list of top 10 countries in high broadband adoption, seven are in Europe.
The companion data visualization tool at Akamai's State of the Internet Site, launched in conjunction with the first quarter 2011 State of the Internet report, has been enhanced to include data for individual U.S. states, along with an expanded data window which now ranges from the third quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2011. The tool allows users to generate and download graphs highlighting and comparing average connection speed, average peak connection speed and high broadband/broadband/narrowband adoption rates.
Each quarter, Akamai publishes a "State of the Internet" report. This report includes data gathered from across the Akamai Intelligent Platform about attack traffic, broadband adoption, mobile connectivity and other relevant topics concerning the Internet and its usage, as well as trends seen in this data over time. To learn more and to access the archive of past reports, please visit Akamai's State of the Internet Site.

Q: How to search an entire column for one or two keywords I am in the process of creating a program, using Visual Basic Express, for a physics professor who has recently had to rename all 1500 questions for his course. I created a database that has the old names, new names, and the entire contents of each question. The program seemed an easy enough idea, but has proved to be very difficult for me. I am new to programming (this is only my third go at it) and have searched for an answer to my problem for at least 20 hours, and have yet to find anything that will work for what I need.
What I would like is to have a text box in which he can type in a keyword (such as "Sun", "ISS", "Force", etc) and for the program to search throughout the entire "questioncontents" column and pull out any questions that contain those words into the datagrid. As of yet the closest I have gotten is for it to search the first word of the column, which is not very useful since most of them start with "The".
I had also thought of creating several keyword columns and then just having it search through those, but I couldn't figure out how to apply the filter to multiple columns.
This may be a stupid question, and if so I apologize, but I am desperate to figure this out as the semester begins relatively soon and I would like to show him how to use it before classes start. Any suggestions or help would be very greatly appreciated.
A: According to my understanding of the question:
SELECT * FROM question WHERE questioncontent LIKE '%SUN%';
As simple as that, you just have to replace SUN in the above query with the value entered in the textbox

Q: How do you distribute a .NET application? Before I start developing a desktop application, I was wondering how large the installer will turn out to be if I build it in .NET?
Now .NET probably is 5 years old. Do we still have to include the run time with the application? Or can we assume that most user will have it installed on their system? Does Vista ships with .NET pre installed? Lastly can we safely assume most XP users already have CLR installed on their system?
A: You don't need to include the runtime, the installer detects if it is present at the user's machine and asks to install if not. Nowadays it is safe to assume most XP users have the CLR.
A: Check out Clickonce deployment. Really nice distribution system if you ask me.
A: It depends on how you want to distribute the application. If you're putting it on a CD, it makes sense to ship the redistributable along. Otherwise, if you are distributing it over the Web, .NET Client profile is just 25 megabytes. You can configure your setup to download it if it's not available.
A: Its easy to determine if the .NET version you're targeting is installed and, if its not, instruct users on where to download it. I'm not a fan of redist-ing the installer bootstrap; its something a hacker would do. Let the user get it directly from the source.
Vista ships with 3.5. XP SP2 ships with 2.0 XP SP2 is required for .NET 2.0, but .NET is never installed by default for XP systems; its always optional. That's pretty much the minimum spec for any MS desktop system; if they are running XP sp1 or earlier I'd avoid them, unless you have specific requirements (embedded systems, dumb/stubborn user base, etc).
edit: I could have sworn SP2 came with .NET 2.0, but I can't find any definitive information about this.
A: .NET was included in Service Pack 2 for XP, in 2004 or so..so I would say it's OK to assume that most people have it by now.

Autódromo José Carlos Pace lub Interlagos – zbudowany w latach trzydziestych XX wieku tor wyścigowy położony między dwoma podziemnymi jeziorami, którym zawdzięcza swoją drugą nazwę. Tor ma długość 4309 m. Pierwsze Grand Prix Brazylii zostało rozegrane 11 lutego 1973 i od tego czasu tor regularnie gości w kalendarzu. Przy projektowaniu toru Interlagos brał udział Ayrton Senna. Zlikwidowano zakręt Turn One natomiast zastąpiono je dwoma szybkimi zakrętami Senna Esses oraz kilka ciasnych zakrętów o różnym stopniu trudności. Największą wadą toru jest bardzo nierówna nawierzchnia. W 2014 roku nitka toru zyskała całkiem nową nawierzchnię.
Rekord okrążenia został ustanowiony przez Valtteriego Bottasa podczas Grand Prix Brazylii w 2018 roku i wynosi on 1:10,540. Ostatnie zwycięstwo brazylijskiego kierowcy w GP miało miejsce w 2008 roku, kiedy to na pierwszym miejscu wyścig ukończył Felipe Massa, odnosząc swoje jedenaste zwycięstwo w karierze.
Kontrakt na organizację Grand Prix obowiązuje do 2025 roku.
Śmierć Rafaela Sperafico
9 grudnia 2007, podczas wyścigu klasy Stock Car Light (seria towarzysząca wyścigom Stock Car Brasil) rozgrywanym na tym torze, doszło do wypadku, w którym zginął Brazylijczyk Rafael Sperafico.
26-letni kierowca stracił panowanie nad swym pojazdem na szóstym okrążeniu i uderzył w ścianę opon. Siła uderzenia była tak duża że samochód powrócił na tor i zderzył się z maszyną kierowaną przez Renato Russo. Sperafico zmarł na miejscu w wyniku licznych obrażeń głowy. Russo, który także doznał obrażeń głowy, spędził w szpitalu 8 dni.

HEY KIDS! CHECK THIS OUT! NO JOKE, YOU WANT TO OWN SOME RARE COOL FIDDLESTIX© ART DIRECTLY FROM THE DRAWING BOARDS?
I have scribbled on some heavyweight, ready for framing official Doodle4NF cards. That are available right now to bid on. Not many of these kinds of original art ever leave the studio out into the wild. Here is your chance to own some original cartoon art while helping out a worthy charitable cause.
Doodle 4 NF is an annual fundraiser for the Neurofibromatosis Network in which autographed celebrity doodles are offered for sale during a 10-day auction. The 2019 auction will be our 12th and final one. It begins on Thursday, April 25 and ends on Sunday, May 5. In the case of multiple doodles by a celebrity, the additional doodles will be posted on day 2 and continue to day 11 (April 26 thru May 6).
The NF Network, formerly NF, Inc., is a national, tax-exempt, charitable organization whose mission is to create a network of support for those affected by NF, through education, advocacy, and coalitions, and by supporting research for treatments and a cure.
Manic Mondays – Features all things relating to FIDDLESTIX© / PC STUDIOS. Tidbits and News directly from the studio drawing boards.
Welcome To The Jungle© Wednesdays – The fabulous Jungle Madness rolls onward.

There's something distinctly special about family businesses. Sure, they go through all the same troubles and triumphs that other businesses go through, but they do so with the added layer of family involvement. A layer which can present as many benefits as it can obstructions.
With family, the lines of appropriate "professional" behaviour can sometimes be blurred. Blood is thicker than water, but it's also the stuff that leads to raging rows, family feuds and inheritance hostility. At the same time, working with family means there's an additional level of support and understanding, the willingness to help one another is stronger, and stronger still is the joy felt when the business experiences prosperity and success.
Here we take a look into some of Ireland's most notable family businesses; from the multi-generational powerhouses to the humble household start-ups. These businesses are showing us the values and steps necessary to make a family business not only survive, but prosper.
The Sandymount Hotel (originally named The Mount Herbert Hotel) was first opened by George and Rosaleen Loughran in 1955. What started off as a modest B&B has since become Europe's leading "green hotel" (not to mention Dublin's largest family-run hotel), boasting 170 stunning bedrooms and four-star service. The hotel is now run by George and Rosaleen's second eldest son John and their grandson Gerard, along with over 100 loyal staff members (their longest serving employee has spent 37 years at reception, a nod to the core values that still remain, despite the hotel's incredible growth over the years).
As father and son, John and Gerard schedule in a weekly lunch away from the hotel to discuss the business and most importantly, offer advice and guidance to one other.
Hazel Mountain opened in 2014 when John Connolly opened an organic cafe with his mother Berenice in what was originally his grandparents home (build in 1940) located on a six-generation family farm. Following this John and his fiancé (and trained chocolatier) Kasha expanded the company by adding a premium quality bean-to-bar chocolate brand alongside the cafe.
John and Kasha run the business now with team of 17 people. Kasha took over the bakery from Berenice, and now creates an incredible range of irresistible gluten-free cakes (which has led to her gluten-free cookbook, Burren Wild Baker). Kasha says how John's parents have been a crucial part of setting the company's core values of respect for both customers and employees, "we adopt their principles on daily basis to make Hazel Mountain Chocolate a fun and interesting place to work".
Brothers Ian and Will Mullin are passionate about top-quality cocktails, which is why in 2013 they started BelliniBrothers.com. Having worked through college in bars and restaurants, the duo saw a gap in the market and wanted to produce a product that would make it easy for people to recreate great-tasting, bar-made cocktails at home. The result? A range of cold-pressed, nutrient-rich, top-quality cocktail juices that are set to launch in all 195 Lidl stores nationwide from September.
Ian looks after product development, Will covers sales, marketing and events, and their ever-obliging mum helps out with accounts and logistics from time to time. As WIll says, "we work really well together. I think it's because we respect the capabilities and stengths that each of us bring to the table, and we play to that. And then when it comes to putting manners on both of us, our parents are close by and they act as our sounding board when we need it "
John and Margaret Appleby started the business in their family home in the 1950's when they first began to make bespoke, hand-crafted jewellery for a select circle of customers. By 1960 they had opened the Johnson's Court store in Dublin, where the iconic company still stands today. All four of John and Margaret's sons (Gerry, Joe, Johnny and Mark) are currently involved in running the business, supported now by a third-generation including cousins Kate, Nicholas and Sophie Appleby.
Appleby Jewellers have retained their strong family values over the years and understand that buying a piece of jewellery, while exciting, can be slightly daunting for some people. "Our ambition is always to give that customer the very best experience and value, no matter what their budget is" says Kate Appleby. Continuous face-to-face communication and open discussion is one of the Appleby family secrets (they don't rely on emails much!) and although there can be disagreements, the team will always show respect and run things past one another, especially for the more significant decisions.
McCambridge's of Galway was originally started by George McCambridge in 1925. His son Pat got involved in 1950 when he was just 15 (he still comes in most days to meet & greet customers) and now Pat's children Eoin and Natalie McCambridge now run the business. Eoin looks after the "behind the scenes" jobs while Natalie covers front-of-house duties.
White & Green was created in 2015 run by the team of Winckworth girls, made up of sisters Rebecca and Danielle and "mastermind mum" Sari Winckworth. The company came out of the realisation that there was a major gap in the market for a go-to brand of quality bed linen that valued organic and Fairtrade production. And so White & Green became precisely that.
Ispini charcuterie started four years ago, when Jonathan Cuddy's wife Sarah brought home a book about curing and pork butchery. Immediately fascinated, Jonathon learned all he could about the meat curing and two years later in December 2016 Ispini started trading. Jonathon works alongside his sister Janice, his wife Sarah, and his father and brother who tend to the animals.
Coming from a typical Irish farming family, the Cuddys pride themselves on a good work ethic and they strive to put an Irish twist where possible in everything they make (e.g. Armagh cider chorizos, or their air-dried Irish spiced beef with a whiskey wash). "Winning the Charcuterie product of the year in the great taste awards last September and recently being a finalist in the BBC Food and Farming Awards has been fantastic recognition for what we want to achieve for the business".
Before creating the hugely popular NÓBÓ (plant-based ice-cream and chocolates), husband and wife co-owners Rachel and Brian Nolan were working in finance and advertising jobs in New York. "From the time we first met we had always wanted to work together and set up our own business", says Rachel, which is exactly what they did. After becoming exposed to the exploding health food scene in New York, the duo left their jobs to learn all about the food industry in Italy and figure out their business idea.
Six years on, Brian and Rachel continue to maintain full ownership and management of their booming business, "we're very lucky in that we have complementary skill sets (advertising and finance respectively) which give us clear, separate roles, and thankfully this has prevented any major rows to date! It helps that we've both had such a clear purpose and shared vision for Nobó from the start".
HouseMyDog started in 2014 when brothers James and Timothy McElroy found themselves struggling to find a dog sitter for their family dog, Holly. This was a problem they realised many other people had also experienced so they took it upon themselves to build a website; one that would allow users to easily find vetted dog sitters and dog walkers online.
One of Ireland's most promising start-ups, House My Dog now has a team of thirteen between their Dublin, London and Berlin offices. The two brothers agree that surrounding themselves with an excellent team and filling the roles with great people is something they've been very lucky with. As far as how the brothers prevent familial-style arguments, James says "defining your roles and taking responsibility for them has always worked well for us. Thankfully we did most of our rowing as kids so it isn't such an issue anymore!".
Finders Keepers opened in November 2016 after Lisa Connelly and her partner Luke returned home, having emigrated to Australia back in 2012. The team is made up of Lisa and Luke and Lisa's very helpful sister Beth. The team goes above and beyond for each person who comes through their doors and gets great joy in helping customers choose the perfect gift or find that magical piece of homeware that will help make a house a home.
COGNIKIDS emerged from Ollwyn Moran noticing that modern home environments (such as slippery modern floors) were impacting child development (such as hindering their ability to crawl) and that products were needed that would help infants to continue with healthy development in the world of today. Since its original inception in 2005, Olwen, with the help of her parents and her nieces and nephews, has used her passion and drive to keep moving the business forward.
St Tola is owned by Siobhan Ni Ghairbhith and her partner John Harrington. The land on which St Tola goats are reared (in Gorbofearna, Co. Clare) was first purchased in 1939 by Siobhan's grandfather, Tadhg Ó 'Gáirbhith. This land passed down through the generations and it was only when Siobhan decided to take over St Tola Cheese from her retiring neighbours in 1998 that it started to be used for commercial purposes. Siobhan manages the company while John looks after the financials, and together they are helped by their team of loyal staff; Brian, Carmen, Petru, Shane, Clive and Grainne (as well as nephews who work in their holidays on the farm and in the cheese house).
It was in December 2015, after Shane O'Doherty retired from his career in the airline business, that he decided it was high time to live out his childhood dream. Having spent the last 30 years seeking out adventures and fun in far-away beautiful places, Shane wanted to show visitors how Howth could be as inspiring as so many of the precious places he had been. And so Shane created Shane's Howth Hikes, carrying out the daily, enthusiastically-guided hikes with the help of his wife Aileen Turvey, son Zack O'Doherty, and fellow guidesMairead Byrne, Paul Scott and Rob Keogh. Bruno the dog is the additional cameo star of the show.
Fanagans Funeral Directors started in 1819, which means that the company is set to celebrate its 200th year in business next year. The company has since become one of the country's most respected funeral directors; led by Jody Fanagan, working alongside him are fellow directors including Joseph Fanagan, Alan Fanagan, David Fanagan, and Robert Fanagan.
In 2008 Tom Sinnott and his wife Laura bought Wexford Home Preserves from Tom's aunt Ellen and her husband Sean, who had set up the company back in 1988. As part of the deal Ellen came to work with the couple for one year in order to teach all of the family recipes to Laura.
"All of our preserves are cooked in open saucepans and stirred by hand giving them a special taste, exactly the way Ellen made them." And the couple remains true to the values set out by Ellen; sourcing the best fruit possible at all times, working closely with local growers and making sure to take time out of the business at weekends and holidays to ensure that the motivation and energy levels stay high.
Forest Avenue is one of Dublin's most raved about restaurants. Now in its fifth year, the foodie haven was opened by Sandy Wyer and her husband John in 2013, who take a very hands-on approach to running the business. From the beginning the duo wanted the food and service to be of a very high standard; for the food to be gastronomic but familiar, with a particular focus on sourcing high-quality ingredients.
Broighter GOLD is owned by Richard and Leona Kane, who discovered their amazing rapeseed oil by accident in 2006 when Leona ran out of olive oil when cooking dinner and Richard fetched some of their unfiltered cold pressed rapeseed oil from the farm (which the Kane family has been farming rapeseed on for well over 100 years). Leona realised how well it worked with cooking, and after learning of the many health benefits of rapeseed oil, Broighter GOLD was created.
The duo live just outside Limavady, Northern Ireland, and it's here where they create their best-selling single estate non-blended, golden rapeseed oil.
Sarah Kelly and her husband Michael Madden are the proud owners of The Village Butchers Ranelagh. The couple set their business up in 2012, after coming to the realisation that the area had been lacking a butcher for some time. Their daughter Jessica worked with them for the last six years but has now gone travelling for the year (and the team looks forward to the new ideas that she will bring back from her adventures).
Michael Kelly started Glandore in 2001 and never dreamed that he'd be fortunate enough to run the same business – albeit on a larger scale – with his three daughters (Fiona, Clare and Rebecca) 17 years later. It all came from spotting a need for flexible office space in Dublin, of which there was a growing interest in this type of model. Starting with one building at 33 Fitzwilliam Square, the business has grown to eight coworking and flexible workspace locations across Dublin and Belfast, as well as an events venue, No. 25 and acclaimed restaurant, Suesey Street.
Today all three sisters and Michael are directors of the company, "We each have different areas of the business we focus on. We want to ensure that we are playing to each of our strengths in terms of skills, but also in terms of passion and enjoyment" says Rebecca, while Clare explains "we genuinely care and support each other, and we believe that if you care for your team they will care for each other and in turn demonstrate the same compassion and empathy with customers".
The Arcadia Delicatessen is a veritable institution, having operated from the same unit on Belfast's Lisburn road since 1933. The shop has morphed from a bakery/ general store to the fine food emporium it is today under the guardianship of the Brown family. Grandmother, Ellen Brown took the shop beyond the war years and it was her son, William, who began to add such 'exotics' as French Brie and Greek olives to the selection, in reaction to the requests of his clientele returning from holidays on the continent in the 70's and 80's.
Arcadia is currently in the ownership of the third generation, Mark and Laura Brown (although Mark's father William remains a valued member of the team today), and the shop celebrates 85 years in business this year, making it the oldest retail business still operating on the popular South Belfast shopping street. | {

This dish looks very appetizing! I will make this tomorrow!
Packed with garlic flavor. Garlic is our favorite herb. This marinade sounds great!
Love the balance of earthy colors! I bet this would be great on a bed of sauteed garlic stalks too.
good ol' couscous. i love the texture of it in my mouth, and i think it's the perfect compliment to your chicken. great, well-balanced dish, lisa!
mmmm. i love balsamic on chicken. that sounds delicious!
Lovely meal. The chicken goes well with couscus and the beans. The colors of the meal look great too!
Thanks for calling Flavors to my attention. Though I don't eat chicken, the book is right up my alley. It reminds me a bit of another book on how flavors work together, called Secret Ingredients by Michael Roberts.
Becky-- Secret Ingredients is on my Amazon list. It sounds like a great book.
Laura-- Hope you enjoy Flavors. The photos make we want to try every dish.
I love Donna Hay's recipes. The photos are always amazing and enticing.
Lisa this looks really great and something that we would love. | {

2 Samuel 19:3 So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
They crept back into the town that day as though they were ashamed and had deserted in battle.
So the people went by stealth into the city that day, as people who are humiliated steal away when they flee in battle.
They went back into the city quietly, like soldiers who are ashamed because they are running away from battle.
So they returned to the city quietly that day like people come in when they are humiliated after fleeing in battle.
So men snuck into the city that day like men do who are ashamed after they've run away from a battle.
That day the people stole away to go to the city the way people who are embarrassed steal away in fleeing from battle.
The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
That day the troops sneaked into the city as if they had fled from battle and were ashamed of it.
And the people got them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
And the people entered by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
And the people stole back that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
And the people got them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
And the people withdrew by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
The people snuck into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
And that day's victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, "The king is grieving over his son."
But the king covered his face and cried out at the top of his voice, "O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!" | {

Nativ will replace Andy Howard MW, in February 2013, who is retiring from M&S at the end of 2012 to travel and concentrate on his new wine consultancy business.
The past year has seen a lot of changes in the Sainsbury's wine team. Since last Christmas a number of high profile members of Sainsbury's BWS team have moved on: senior wine buyer Julian Dyer went to Australian Vintage; winemaker Clem Yates MW moved across to Off Piste Wines; buyer David Peek left to work with Copestick Murray and winemaker Lucy Clements left to go to a Californian wine business.
At the same time Sainsbury's has brought on board Mark Juggins (wine buyer) Emma Holland (winemaker), Alex Green USA buyer, and Kate Tucker as technical manager for new formats.
Nativ has experience in buying wine in the multiple grocery and independent wholesale trade, he was wine trading manager for SPAR UK as well as retail management experience in the off and on-trade as business development manager at Hayward Bros (Wines).
He has sourced wine from most major wine-producing countries and he recently embarked on the first year of his Master of Wine qualification.
Andrew Bird, head of trading for drinks and grocery, said: "I am delighted to welcome a wine buyer of Dror's calibre to Marks & Spencer. Dror's appointment is an important step in our plan to transform M&S into an international, multi-channel wine retailer. I would also like to thank Andy Howard MW for more than three decades of outstanding service with M&S and I am pleased to see the wine industry will continue to benefit from his experience."
M&S was awarded Innovator of the Year in the International Wine Challenge. | {

Alex Gailas entered the Real Estate industry in 1999. In 2001 Alex Gailas started his own Real Estate Brokerage: AG Realty. AG Realty quickly became one of the reputable Boutique Real Estate companies specializing in Residential sales of single family homes, Luxury Real Estate, Condos, Townhouses and vacant lots including but not limited Contra Costa County, Alameda and San Francisco counties. Alex Gailas team consists of five dynamic Realtors in Lamorinda.
Alex has a 100% closing rate for his listings; they generally sell from 2-8% over the asking price.
He has sold over $250 million dollars in residential and commercial real estate. Sixty percent of Alex's business is referral-based from previous clients and friends.
Alex is commited to education, has taken over 900 hours of course work on real estate and is continually updating his knowledge of legal issues and contracts. He has the technological expertise to expose your property to all potential buyers.
Alex has lived in the area (Orinda) since 1982. His vast knowledge in Lamorinda area about schools, cultural activities, recreation and shopping helps his clients tremendously when purchasing a home. He knows the local real estate market well and property values intimately. Alex is committed to his listings showing at their best and being strategically priced.
Alex is a consummate professional, one who goes "above and beyond" that which is expected.
The common thread of his client testimonials is that Alex is "talented and tireless", that he sees the big picture and as a Broker, understands the financial ins and outs of closing a contract.
These are givens in Alex's daily professional business dealings. But it is the smaller, intagible qualities that set Alex apart and that attest to his many devoted clients. He can quickly assess a home's needs in order to market it to its greatest advantage. He will negotiate for favorable contracting bids, follow through with contractors and deadlines, and will even roll up his sleeves and pitch in if that's what it takes to see a sale come to fruition.
Certified Residential Specialists (CRS) 4% of all realtors in the U. S. can call themselves CRS. | {

Обломочные горные породы (также кластические горные породы, кластолиты) — осадочные породы экзогенного происхождения, которые в основном содержат обломки других горных пород или минералов.
Образование и состав
Обломочные породы разнообразны по происхождению и способам отложения. Обломки образуются как результат процессов выветривания, вулканизма, тектонической и техногенной активности. Сортировка и скругление обломков связаны с их переносом под воздействием потоков воды, ветра и движения льда.
В обломочных породах встречаются обломки магматических, метаморфических, осадочных и техногенных пород, а также обломки из многих минералов, в том числе кварца, полевого шпата, слюды, амфибол, пироксенов, изредка глауконита. В породах встречаются также и органические остатки — раковины, фрагменты скелетов и стволов деревьев.
Осколки в обломочных породах могут быть скреплены заполнителем-«цементом» («сцементированные» породы), если цемента нет, то породы называются несцементированными («рыхлыми»). По составу цементы бывают кремнёвыми (например, опал, халцедон, кварц), оксидно-железистыми (лимонит, гётит), карбонатными (кальцит, доломит), глинистыми, битуминозными.
Поскольку обломки имеют более древнее происхождение по сравнению с самими породами, их материал подсказывает источники сноса, а гранулометрические параметры помогают определить режим осадкообразования.
Классификация
Обломочные породы классифицируют по внешним признакам (гранулометрическим и сцементированности):
Поскольку обломки разных размеров обычно смешаны, выделяют:
мономиктовые (несмешанные) породы с 90%-ным и выше преобладанием одного типа обломков (примерами являются мономинеральные пески, многие брекчии);
олигомиктовые (слабосмешанные) с преобладающим компонентом в количестве 75-90 %, (олигомиктовые аргиллитовые и песчаниковые конгломераты);
мезомиктовые (среднесмешанные) с содержанием преобладающего компонента 50-75 %, (вулканито-седементитовые дресвяники);
полимиктовые (многокомпонентные, сильносмешанные) породы без преобладающего компонента.
Мономиктовые породы встречаются реже всего, полимиктовые — наиболее часто.
Внутри категорий, сгруппированных по внешнему виду, обломочные породы подразделяются также по компонентному составу, некоторые петрографические типы имеют собственные названия, например аркозы, граувакки.
Добыча
Обломочные породы заключают в себе полезные ископаемые (например, являясь коллекторами для нефтегазовых месторождений и залежей подземные вод) и разрабатываются сами по себе как строительные материалы (галечники, пески, песчано-гравийные смеси, крепкие конгломераты, брекчии, песчаники), сырьё для производства стройматериалов (кварцевые пески для стекла, алевролиты для цемента, керамзита), формовочного материала в металлургии (пески).
Типы месторождений осколочных пород связаны с особенностями их накопления:
коллювиальные шлейфы внизу склонов;
пролювиальные и аллювиальные конусы выноса, созданные течением воды, аллювиальные лентовидные тела вдоль русла реки;
«моря» пустынных песков в пустынях, созданные ветром;
пояса в прибойной зоне морей и океанов.

What role, if any, does classical orchestration play in the modern digital composer's life?
Isn't it a bit elitist to assume everyone needs formal studies just to be a good composer? And isn't the study of traditional orchestration a bit outdated in a lot of contemporary film scoring?
The answer to both these questions is a resounding YES!
When you study formal or classical orchestration, you are essentially learning the what, how, and why of the orchestra. I compare the study of orchestration to the formal study of a particular instrument. Do you need weekly lessons to become a competent pianist? No. I know plenty of pianists who are pretty amazing who have never taken a formal lesson in their life. But there will always be a limit to what you know unless there is a transfer of information, either from you and your own studying, or from someone else more knowledgable who has already gone through the learning process. It is entirely possible to learn on your own, but it's often a quicker process to learn from someone else rather than through self-discovery.
Orchestration is more or less about "what works", and we know what works by looking back at examples. Does this mean we have to stick to established patterns? Of course not. No classically trained musician learns about music then simply copies what they learned. The past is always looked at with the goal of moving forward. We look at the past to learn how to proceed. If not, we find ourselves doing something "new" only to find out it's been done for the last several centuries.
Regarding the application of samples and orchestration, there are two common paths we can take as they apply to orchestration.
Both of these paths are equally valid in my eyes. I have heard fantastic music come from both camps. Ultimately, it's up to the skill of the programmer. The only reservation I have with the first path is that as samples become better and better, your strict orchestrational mock ups will become outdated and have the potential to sound empty and, more importantly, emotionless down the road. My reservation with the second path is that your music will often be restricted to the world of samples and you may find yourself in trouble when dealing with live musicians down the road (which can lead to the same emotionless problem).
As you can imagine, I would propose to you all that there is a balanced middle ground we should all strive for. Strict traditionalist need to be willing to present their music to their audience in a way that is clear and impactful when dealing with samples (after all, isn't that what orchestration is all about: clear and concise delivery of a musical idea?). Strict synthesists need to be willing to learn and adhere to more traditional musical posturing in their music or they risk sounding dated and stale in the coming years (after all, classical music has proven itself to be a long-standing musical tradition, tried and true); furthermore samples are not the end all be all and if you want your music to come out of the sample world, formal study is tremendously helpful for this.
Again, formal study and self-study are equal in my eyes. One happens to be a bit quicker (for most people, at least), but as long as you learn the relevant information along the way, you'll be in a much better place to mature and grow as a musician.
"All this wonderful knowledge and experience I have gained through studying what I love has really stunted my maturation and growth" said nobody ever.
I have a lot of very talented and gifted friends. It's pretty awesome all the great people I know. And no, I don't like these people for their abilities. They are just great all-around people who happen to be really really great at what they do. I'd encourage you to check them all out. I've known some of them really well for a long time while others are newer acquaintances. But all are artists I deeply respect and hope their futures are bright.
1. James Everingham is a prolific young composer from the UK. He most recently ascended into stardom after one of his many SoundCloud uploads went viral. Shortly after, he won 2nd place in 8dio's 2014 Stand Out Competition. I have never met James in person, but we've been communicating online for the last few years and he keeps getting better and better at what he does.
Here is one of James' latest tracks.
2. Fish McCook (aka The Painted Pianos) hails from the SoCal area. Like James, I have never met Fish but I consider him a friend and fellow artist. His latest release, the self-produced album Roses, has some KILLER tracks. His voice and melodies are engaging and add a certain sophisticated depth to the music.
This track is a particular favorite of mine.
3. Zach King. Enough said. If you don't know who he is, you've gotta find out. I can't go out in public with Zach without someone running up to him asking to take their picture with him. It's been a blast seeing his career take off as well as working with him personally. How many people do you know have been on the Ellen show?
4. Chris Blair is an up-and-comer in the music industry. I've known Chris the majority of my life and he's quite a guy. He's bold and doesn't hold back. His most recent venture, LostBoyCrow, is sounding promising on so many levels. Chris has a way of writing melodies that always keep me guessing, and the gritty lower end of his voice really digs deep into the music.
5. Kevin Marble is one of the more talented songwriters and storytellers I know. Every word he sings has such weight and meaning. I roomed with him in college and got to hear his musical morsels almost ever day. He's such a genuine person and his genuine musicality shines through with every note. I had the opportunity to provide some piano accompaniment on his fantastic first album release What Are You Afraid Of? Give it a listen.
6. Josh Moshier is the former jazz band director at my alma mater. His music has been in film, television, and games around the globe. Not only is he just a great musician, he's also a friendly and wise young man who's given me a lot of good advice over the last few years. He's already an established and valued composer, but his career is just beginning.
Linked below is one of my favorite scores of his.
It comes as no surprise to many of us that Zimmer would seek to push the limits musically in Nolan's latest boundary-breaking space odyssey Interstellar. There is a reason the dynamic Nolan-Zimmer duo is making such great waves in the world of cinema. Like them or hate them, they are a force to be reckoned with.
I've always been fond of Nolan's movies, though I'm hesitant to put them on the same list as some other of the "greats". Interstellar, like the Batman trilogy, Inception, and the Prestige, is another sort of story-telling vehicle than most other movies, which in many ways, placing it in a realm of its own.
As for Zimmer's role in the creation of this galactic epic, he was spot-on in his choice of the organ as a driving musical force. This isn't the first time we've heard the organ in cinema (even in Zimmer's own music), but Zimmer used the organ in some cool ways many aren't accustomed to hearing. In fact, many aren't accustomed to hearing the organ at all.
The organ was the perfect choice because the instrument is so colorful. It's such a visual instrument, bombastic and flamboyant, but capable of the most tender and intimate sounds. Organs aren't just awesome sounding, but they are crafted to look great too. They take up such a large space wherever they are built. They become the space. The room itself is the instrument. Hearing the organ from the sound system and seeing freaking space, galaxies, and wormholes on screen was itself transcendent. You felt present in the score and the film as well.
So, before we go giving Zimmer too much credit, let's step back a bit and check out some other examples of the organ being used awesomely. Not to overshadow what Zimmer has created in the Interstellar soundtrack, but the organ's been around a looooong time and Zimmer barely scratched the surface of the instrument's capabilities.
It's hard to beat Pårt, let's be honest. His musical influence over pretty much all contemporary music, especially film music, is astounding. And when he busts out the organ (which is pretty frequently) you best get ready for some action. The YouTube clip I attached begins in the final moments of the piece. Of course, I recommend the whole thing, but it's an hour long.
This piece (3rd movement linked here) is just plain fun. Listen.
I love this quirky piece. A lot. The solo sections are beautiful, but the organ writing (as with all of Britten's keyboard writing) is outstanding. I've linked to the second half or so of the piece when the organ just booms over the choir. When I performed this piece live in college, the organ was so loud I couldn't hear anything else. My ears were ringing and my body was shaking. Just like when I saw interstellar. I couldn't help but draw that comparison when watching the movie in theaters.
Speaking of comparison, it's hard to avoid drawing parallels between Interstellar and 2001: A Space Odyssey... Including, also, I think, the use of the organ. But who knows for sure.
This is just lovely. Lovely. In so many ways. The organ does so much to add to the general texture.
On a personal note, I love getting emails from you all! I really do. There is a part of me that has wanted to be a teacher for most of my life. I didn't have someone who at the very least pretended to know what they were doing re: composing/midi/production when I was growing up, so I had all sorts of unanswered questions and curiosities about this sort of thing.
BUT, as much as I appreciate the emails, I have let a LOT of emails fall through the cracks. I'm terrible at responding in a timely manner. Not all the time, but enough to make me want to create this list so I can forward it to all y'all (as they say here in Atlanta where I am spending Christmas with my family) when the questions and inquiries start pouring in.
1. How old are you? You can't be THAT young!?
2. What equipment/software do you use?
3. What sample libraries do you recommend?
I can't speak for a lot of other types of libraries, but when it comes to orchestral libraries, I prefer the ones with the most natural sounding room tone and attack.
4. Can you teach me lessons about Logic Pro or sequencing in general?
Yes! Shoot me an email. Lessons are $40/hour for weekly lessons. $50 for irregularly scheduled lessons or single sessions.
5. How did you get started in the music industry?
From what I've gathered from speaking with industry professionals, making it big in the film music industry is all about "who you know". My first film scoring gig was actually through my grandfather who mentioned me to a friend of his. This friend was a long-time film and television guy and was looking for some music for his first feature. After that, I worked on some of my friends' film projects (most notably Zach King) and from there, things have continued to grow. A lot of clients find me through my YouTube videos and tutorials. The rest hear my music in other projects floating around the internet. My music has been on television as well (National Geographic, SyFy, Spike, etc.), but those sort of gigs rarely pay off. No one pays attention to TV music, much less watches the credits!
6. How do you recommend I go about getting film scoring gigs?
As mentioned above, connections are key in the film scoring industry. Talking to your filmmaker friends from school and getting in early on their projects is a great way to get started. As for practical things, I would focus on getting a resumé put together as well as a website and SoundCloud profile. Only post things that you are proud of. Look around for other people at your skill level and do some honest comparison. If your work is lacking in quality (compositionally or production-wise) you probably shouldn't post it. I HIGHLY recommend you post with caution. Don't catalog every piece you've ever written. I frequently go back and delete old posts that I've outgrown.
7. How do you go about charging your clients? What should I charge my clients?
Remember: there is no set price for composing. Every composer is different. I don't like discussing my exact rates with other composers, to be honest. But for starters, you'll be working within the budgets of your clients for a few years as you get projects under your belt. That's the way it is. I have established my rates after working with clients all over the world for 5-6 years and figuring out what the basic market value these days is. Then I add some value for the unique services and skills I bring to the table and there is my number. Again, work within client budgets for a while, then after you've established yourself as a composer people want to and like to work with, you can set a fair rate for yourself and your clients.
Potentially! I love collaboration, to be honest. It's more exciting to me than composing alone. Shoot me an email and pitch your project.
9. Will you compose for my such-and-such project for free?
Most likely, no. "IMDB cred" isn't really a comparable trade for the hours and hours of work I will pour into your project, not to mention the years of higher education, thousands upon thousands of hours of practice, and tens of thousands of dollars I've put into my craft. There are, always, exceptions to this, but they are few and far between.
10. Are you able to mock up my music with more professional sounding samples?
Yes, assuming the project/style aligns with my skill set. Email me for inquiries and rates.
11. How might I obtain a license to use your music in a film project?
Ask me. Not all the music I've posted online is available for licensing, but if you like the sound of something, it can't hurt to ask! | {

SlayoftheWeek — SLAY DAY !
So if you follow me on social media, then you know my birthday was this past Monday (April 10th). If you didn't know that, then clearly you need to follow me -- KenyaFeelMeTV. For this look (and these amazing pictures) I teamed up with one of the best photographers in Alabama, Dave. Dave is the owner/photographer at Designs … Continue reading SlayoftheWeek — SLAY DAY ! | {

Perhaps you already help Over 350 volunteers prepare and serve meals daily. Others serve as drivers, bookkeepers, and helpers. Volunteers are from community groups, individuals, and over 32 participating churches. Our mission is supported by over 2,000 individuals, churches, civic organizations, trusts, county and businesses. This is a local program. The people we are feeding are your neighbors. The majority are not homeless. They are families struggling to raise children.
The people who feed them are not strangers to you either. They are your brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Your gift is a small thing for you, but it is a great thing for those who are in need. Dependent on the promise of the Lord that if we ask we will receive, we are requesting your help. The hungry thank you in advance for your generous gift.
How Does Our Daily Bread Benefit our Local Community?
Organized in 1984, Our Daily Bread is a response to our community's need to feed the hungry regardless of race, color, or belief. Since then, with extremely limited resources and space, OUR DAILY BREAD has served over 2,000,000 meals to needy men, women, and children in a storefront on 14th Street West in Bradenton, seven days a week including holidays. Recently we have moved our facilities to the ONE STOP CENTER at 701 17th Avenue West in Bradenton (Next to the McKechnie Ball field).
OUR DAILY BREAD serves an average of 250 men, women, and children daily, 364 days a year.
We also have a grocery store "Loaves and Fishes" where families can shop free once a month for food items and fresh produce. The Store has items not available from other food sources, such as peanut butter & jelly and produce. We served over 20,000 people through this program last year. No one is turned away, but in many instances, relief is only partial. Many need more than food. | {

It's past time for the Phillies to move on from Cesar Hernandez at second base
Cesar Hernandez during 2018 season
(Photo by Keith Allison via Wiki Commons)
If you want to go ahead and say that this has been a roller coaster of a season for Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez then you would be on a really exaggerated summer coaster ride.
What this season has demonstrated as well as any in recent memory is exactly what I was saying about him before it even began – it's time for him to go.
Hernandez has some of the most empty and inconsequential offensive statistics in the game, his defense is nothing special, and at age 29 next season he should not be considered a piece for a future contending Phillies ball club.
This season began with Hernandez hot. Over the Phillies first 43 games through May 19 he was slashing .282/.392/.448 with six homers, 15 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases. That would represent the roller coaster upward climb.
Then on May 20, Hernandez wrapped up a road trip in Saint Louis by going 0-3. It was the start of that roller coaster drop-off. And unlike most roller coasters, this one would not be over quick, nor would it lead to a series of thrilling ups and downs.
From that May 20 game through nearly the entirety of summer, Hernandez' performance would plummet through a prolonged, nauseating, lineup defeating drop.
Across 93 games through September 3, Hernandez hit just .237 with a .309 slugging percentage. Over more than twice the number of plate appearances as in his quick start he hit one fewer home run and stole one fewer base.
It's not as if Hernandez has been playing outstanding defense. His 1,217.2 innings played is the third-most of anyone at second base in all of Major League Baseball this year. According to Fangraphs he ranks just 12th on their Advanced Defensive Index and 13th in Defensive WAR at the Keystone.
And still, manager Gabe Kapler kept writing his name into the starting lineup. Hernandez has started 138 of the Phillies 146 games through Friday night.
Hernandez made $5.1 million this season and will be arbitration-eligible this coming off-season. He will most certainly be looking for a raise, possibly to the $10+ million per year mark. He cannot become a free agent until after the 2020 season.
There will be a bevy of free agent second basemen or players who could be used at the position who will be hitting the market this winter. The list includes potentially enticing names like Brian Dozier, DJ LeMahieu, Jed Lowrie, Daniel Murphy, Ian Kinsler, and Asdrubal Cabrera. But each has already reached age 30, and all will be hoping for expensive contracts at multiple years of commitment.
With two years remaining until his own free agency, and with those years coming in his ages 29 and 30 seasons, it is entirely possible that Phillies GM Matt Klentak could convince some contending general manager to give up a young prospect with reasonable upside in a trade for Hernandez.
Corey Seidman for NBC Sports Philadelphia speculated earlier this month on a possible return for Hernandez:
"At this point, the Phillies won't be able to find great value for Hernandez. But they should be able to land a reliever coming off a good year from a team in need of a second baseman."
The Phillies have their future at the position already in-house. Scott Kingery won a minor league Gold Glove at second base just last year when he hit .304 with 26 homers, 29 doubles, 29 steals, and 103 runs scored with the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

Yes, Kingery struggled during his rookie season this year in Major League Baseball. The 24-year-old has slashed just .227/.268/335 with seven homers, 33 RBI, 10 steals, and 51 runs scored over 448 plate appearances across 134 games.
However, this was Kingery's first taste of big-league life, and it arguably came under extreme duress. After playing just two minor league games at shortstop, Kingery was asked to become the Phillies starter at that vital position for much of this season.
Kapler has started him 90 times at shortstop and played him in 106 total games there. Meanwhile, Kingery has seen action in just four games at his natural second base position, with only two starts. He hasn't gotten a start there since April 16 and has not played the position at all in the last three months.
As I described in a piece earlier this month, Kingery has been mishandled this year by the Phillies. I believe grossly so. As I wrote in that piece: "Put him at second base, and he will thrive. His record tells the tale. The proof is in the pudding. Pac-12 Player of the Year. Paul Owens Award winner. Minor league All-Star and Gold Glove Award winner."
I also believe that with a full year of MLB experience under his belt, and with the increased comfort level that would come in returning to his natural position, that Kingery will begin to thrive offensively next season.
During spring training back in March the Phillies signed Kingery to a six-year contract. It gave him more guaranteed money than any drafted player who had never played in MLB in the game's history. They were presumably showing some level of commitment to Kingery and a belief in his abilities.
In the last 10 days, Hernandez has again heated up somewhat. Over nine games during that time he has hit .343 with a .415 on-base percentage. But it is too little, too late to salvage his season, let alone his Phillies career.
The improved stretch might indicate to some that the Hernandez roller coaster has finally bottomed out and is rising again. But the fact is that his numbers remain empty. He has no home runs, one stolen base, and two runs scored in those games.
It is time for the team to fully commit. It is time to dump Hernandez and turn the page from another failed 2012-17 player. Hand the starting job at second base to Kingery for the 2019 season and beyond, taking another step towards a brighter Phillies future.

Reform of the oft-maligned Armenian Police Force is in full swing following April's 'Velvet Revolution', with reformers frequently citing neighbouring Georgia as a blueprint. While the reforms seem to have made a real dent in corruption, calls to take on the force's reputation for brutality appear to be gaining less traction.
Tato Khundadze is editor at European.ge.
Just two months after announcing sweeping reforms of Georgia's banks, 36-year-old Finance Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze looks set to become the new Prime Minister. While the country's banks have become among the most profitable in the world, they have done so at the expense of ordinary Georgians. If Bakhtadze and his replacement at the finance ministry follow through on these reforms, they could be the first step in addressing some of Georgia's most pressing economic woes. | {

For a time, the Green New Deal was also a popular slogan in search of a policy, inspired by the very real need for immediate, large-scale action on climate change. Last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., explained the catchphrase. They did so in a resolution that promised the moon to save the Earth.
Iit also makes huge promises unrelated to climate change. These include government guarantees for jobs, higher education, housing and "high-quality health care"; expansion of family farming; stronger union rights; trade deals that will grow domestic manufacturing; and ending "unfair competition." | {

So when you confirm it is physical head damage which requires you to perform the head swap to extract the lost data, the next step is to find a donor head or donor hard drive. What's a donor hard drive for Samsung head swap?
From the old families before Victor, Puma, Verna & etc. ( Max capacity 120Gb, Max Head number 4 ) donor drive for Heads stack has to be chosen by the 4-th symbol on the side sticker which consist from 5 symbols. There are 3 versions of this sticker: xxxAx, xxxRx, xxxSx. 4-th symbol should match on patient and on donor drive, this symbol is responsible for this drive Heads stack manufacturer.
From the families like Palo, Magma, P80M, Delphi and other ( Max capacity 160Gb, Max Head number 4 ) to Poseidon family ( Max capacity 250Gb, Max Head number 4 ), the donor drive could be recognized by other symbols on the top sticker after P/V. There are 2 versions of such sticker: P\V: xS, P\V: xA. As you see the second symbol should be matched. Nowadays this sticker as P/V: xA does not exists on manufactured drives.
There are no symbols/codes responsible for Heads on the HDD stickers for Trident( T133(S)), T166(S), M60(S), M80(S) ) families . But the hard drive manufacturer started to use only "S ( SAE )" heads. So , for this families, the heads stack donor has to belong same family and its heads map should be the same as on patient.

Before the jailbreak procedure was introduced there was no way of installing paid apps for free or should I say any kind of app. Apple has a strict policy when it comes to apps or its devices. Many users seen the jailbreak procedure more like a divine intervention also a new hope for developers who weren't that lucky with their apps getting that approval to be shown in App Store. So jailbreaking you get the chance of installing apps or any other 3rd party packages that Apple will not show in a million years in its AppStore and that are tweaks and themes.
If you haven't done this yet don't go crawling under a rock thinking it's a nasty and hard procedure. Whoever told you this misguided you, so get your how to jailbreak iOS 8 tutorial and fire that baby away. With all the search, reading and procedure it should not take more than 10 min.
Step 1 Open Cydia and upgrade all its components if you get a screen with cydia upgrades.
Step 2 Once Cydia is open on your screen you will see on the bottom side a menu with 5 tabs Cydia, Sections, Changes, Manage and Search. Tap Manage.
Step 3 After tapping Manage you will get a screen with 3 huge buttons Packages, Sources and Storage. Tap Source. If you are not that familiar with Cydia you are wondering why you need to go here. Well this is simple without the sources Cydia is merely an empty shell, where sources are the catalogs of the packages that developers created.
Step 4 In Sources you will find a list with the default repo / sources that came with cydia. Now tap Edit on the top right corner then the ADD button on the top left corner and input one the following urls //xsellize.com or //cydia.xsellize.com and tap Add Source. This will add the Xsellize repo to Cydia.
Step 5 You will get a warning message were you will need click Add Anyway. After this you just have to wait for cydia to load the repo.
Step 6 To search for a app, game or tweak you simply touch Search tab and tap on the tweak, app that you want to install. You will find that search will be reporting multiple items a paid and free version of the package you want to install. You simply click on the free one.
Step 7 Once you have tapped on the free app that you want to install you will be prompted with the screen of the app, Tap the Install button on the top right corner.
These free packages are the real deal of the paid versions but it is wise to use them just to test the functions and see if they are worth their money. | {

I am trying to create a web map inventory and encountered a KeyError.
Any suggestions on how to handle KeyError?
when you see the error which of those lines is the error occurring with?
What version of the api are you using?
I am using 1.4.2 version.
Try out that change and let me know how it goes.
Code extracts all other information except layer type.
I am able to use the code you provided to get all the information you are looking for in the webmaps including the layerType key. If you try the code on another webmap are you able to get the code to work through that layer type key?
In testing the code above I have been stepping through the code in my debugger. That is a nice way to gain insight into the responses and the values being returned.
Take a look at the above and let me know what you get.
Thank you. I will test it to my another web map.
Have you tried either of my suggestions? If so, did either work?
I tested out the code that you provided and it works on my end.
It's good to see that you can access these properties in 2 different ways.
why does under 1.5 i now get this keyerror for opedrational layers. I'm using the same code and loading in the same webmap json from file. But the dictionary does not contain any operationallayer keys after the json file has been loaded in. what changed at 1.5? | {

just letting you know that I received the necklace earlier this week and I absolutely love it. I'm surprised at how many times I've already worn it at the two differing lengths and I love the subtle engraving that gives the rings meaning just for me. Thanks for all your help. | {

Tim Scott Random House Audio 9780553384406
In this outrageously funny, outrageously inventive debut, one of the most outrageously talented new writers to break onto the sci-fi scene in decades asks the most loaded question of all . . . "Don't you hate it when this happens?" . . . that's what the business card asks Jonny X67, dream architect to the rich and jaded. It's all the thieves who stole his house left behind. And if that weren't bad enough, a saleswoman named Caroline E61 drops from the sky to sell him a set of encyclopedias and won't take no for an answer. Can his luck get any worse? In this rip-roaring roller-coaster ride through a brilliantly imagined future of paranoid absurdity, Jonny X will learn the answer soon enough when he falls afoul of a lunatic motorcycle gang nicknamed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a relentless Belgian assassin, and his own irate girlfriend. Traversing a cityscape whose neighborhoods are organized by musical genres, running into joke-telling elevators and holographic computer viruses, Jonny is about to learn what a nightmare it's going to be to get his old life back in a reality warping faster than the speed of the imagination. Outrageous Fortune heralds a marvelous new talent sure to be delightfully altering the minds of readers for years to come.
"Diverting... [A] delightfully droll sense of humor. —Publishers Weekly
[A] lunatic jaunt through a cartoon future. —Kirkus Reviews
Rarely does a first sf novel have as much energy and creativity as Scott's madcap, mischievously irreverent depiction of a definitely post-postmodern future. Consider this the opening salvo of one of the genre's most promising and original new voices in years. —Booklist
Diverting..a zany tale of a slippery future shaped by bogus reality and prefab memories...Delightfully droll. —Publishers Weekly
Outrageous Fortune is captivating, absorbing, infuriating and disturbingly funny; it takes you hostage on the very first page and refuses to let you go until all its demands have been met. —Tom Holt, author of In Your Dreams
The most bizarre, profound and beautiful novel I've read in a long, long time. —Michael Marshall (Smith), author of Blood of Angels

We provided breaks to enable carers of children with disabilities to enjoy holidays as a family. Breaks are for carers who haven't had a break in the last 12 months and care for a child or young person aged under 21.
Breaks take the form of short family holidays where we meet the cost of accommodation, transport and support if required.
Reaching Out has provided local children who are on the autistic spectrum and their siblings age 5 – 18yrs the opportunity to socialise and try out new activities. The children are enjoying arts and crafts and have had great trips out including trips to Linn Park, Lamont Farm and autism friendly cinema trips.
We also have weekly play sessions and music workshops which allows parents/carers to have a chance to relax or meet other parents who are in similar situations. | {

Despite public concern at failing leadership at the top of the corporate world, UK business is focusing more attention on the leadership skills of its junior managers than its CEOs, according to new figures released on 27 February by The Work Foundation.
The survey - "Developing Leaders" - shows that company directors are the management group least likely to receive leadership development in the next 12 months. They are also the group least likely to have received leadership development over the past two years.
Junior managers are almost twice as likely as CEOs to have received leadership development in the past two years, and are more than twice as likely to receive it in the forthcoming year.
And CEOs are only slightly more likely than junior managers to be expected to exhibit leadership qualities in their work even though the way that they motivate and inspire their organisations is crucial to whether an organisation achieves its corporate objectives.
Of the 221 organisations interviewed for the study, 78 per cent say that they value and promote leadership, 75 per cent say they believe leadership is essential and 90 per cent say they invest in some form of leadership development. However almost one in five (17 per cent) say that leadership is not valued or promoted within their organisation.
Ian Lawson, chief executive of The Work Foundation's Campaign for Leadership, says: "It is encouraging that most organisations see the need for effective leaders in order to create change and gain buy-in from their people. Much excellent work is being done within organisations, but the survey shows that corporate heads need to give more time and commitment to personal and top team leadership development.
"Leaders at all levels are important but we also need more of our CEOs and company directors to recognise that leadership development, like leadership, is an ongoing process and should begin at the top."
The majority of responding organisations (72 per cent) differentiate between leadership and management. 24 per cent say there is no difference. Larger organisations are more likely to differentiate between the two.
78 per cent say that their organisation values and promotes leadership. 17 per cent say it is not valued or promoted. Again larger organisations are more likely to value and promote leadership.
75 per cent say their organisations believe that leadership is essential. 23 per cent say it is simply good to have. 2 per cent consider it not very important.
Senior managers are most likely (82 per cent) to be required to have leadership as a core competency, compared to 60 per cent of CEOs and board members who have it as one of their main competencies.
42 per cent of organisations provide leadership training internally, 48 per cent provide it externally.
Over the last two years, the largest group receiving leadership training was senior managers (61 per cent), followed by middle managers (55 per cent), team leaders/junior managers (47 per cent), executive team (42 per cent), chief executive/board member (25 per cent). Around 10 per cent of organisations report that no managers have received leadership training in the last two years.
Leadership skills development over the next year will focus on middle managers (62 per cent), senior managers (58 per cent), team leaders/junior managers (56 per cent), executive team (40 per cent), CEOs/board members (23 per cent).
The effectiveness of leadership is evaluated by informal feedback (57 per cent), staff satisfaction surveys (53 per cent), 360 degree feedback (41 per cent), retention levels (31 per cent), upward appraisal (28 per cent), productivity levels (21 per cent) and focus groups (14 per cent).

Five States with a Cannabis Ballot This November
This year has been trying for every person on earth during these times. In the United States, COVID-19, the sweeping coronavirus, is costing jobs, lives, and entire ways of life. However, even in this madness, voters must still make their mark come November. They must decide on a leader for the next four years. Some states have more to think about this year. Some are finally contemplating legalizing weed.
Whether for medicinal use or for recreational fun, more and more states are joining the fray and legalizing cannabis. Marijuana delivery is legal therapeutically in two-thirds of the country already. By the time these elections end, medical pot may well be legal in another two states, with possibly four more potentially allowing its use recreationally too, among consenting and responsible adults, of course.
These five states are facing the cannabis question on this year's ballot:
1. New Jersey
In the first quarter of 2019, New Jersey seemed mighty close, at legislative legal, to legalizing weed. However, a late push for specific reforms in social justice derailed momentum for approval by legislature. Called Public Question 1, voters will be either for or against the possession, use, production, processing, and sale of recreational pot, being any person legally an adult, the age for which is 21 years.
Companies stand to benefit hugely from commercial legalization of marijuana. According to the Motley Fool, those such as TerrAscend, Curaleaf, and other multistate operators intend generating around $1 billion in annual sales by 2024. Polls seem to indicate massive support for legalization at all levels and in all demographic groups. Legalization seems imminent. New Jersey was the first to put it to ballot.

Proposition 207, Arizona's adult-use marijuana measure, also looks likely to pass without question. It will allow anyone 21-years or older to possess and use weed. It will also require the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services to regulate the industry and add a 16 percent tax onto its sale, along with already existing taxes. Arizona tried legalization in 2016. Its Proposition 205 did not gain enough votes.
Now, however, legalization is inevitable, some think. Some surveys suggest supporters outnumber naysayers almost double-to-one. Companies, as Harvest Health & Recreation, the biggest multistate cannabis producer in Arizona, will benefit, even regain some of its aggressive plans for expansion. It did not have the best COVID-19 year, like most companies. The market looks promising for cannabis.
Montana, possibly the least likely to vote on cannabis reform in many minds, will actually have two questions on their ballot. Montana CI-118 would amend state constitution to allow legislature to set a legal age for the possession, use, and purchase of weed, which would be 21 years. Measure I-190 has similar aspirations, and many others. Ultimately, they both ask to legalize adult-use weed.
I-190 seeks to legalize recreational use for anyone 21-years and older, impose a 20 percent tax on pot sales, and require the Montana Department of Revenue to regulate cannabis laws for businesses. Further, it will overturn and expunge previous marijuana convictions, particularly those related to currently incarcerated individuals, and seek resentencing in some cases. Polls suggest a close race.
South Dakota, according to the Motley Fool, will make history this November. It will become the first state ever trying to pass both a medical and a recreational question on the same ballot. Measure 26 would allow proven medical patients access to a state-run medical pot program. It would authorize the South Dakota Department of Health to amend medical conditions as it deems fit.

Constitutional Amendment A, however, would legalize cannabis recreationally and commercially. It would impose a statewide 15 percent tax on legal sales. The South Dakota Department of Revenue would issue licenses, and the State Legislature would draft medical and industry regulations quickly. Support is high for legalization countrywide, even in typically conservative states like South Dakota.
5. Mississippi
Mississippi is putting its medical marijuana question on its ballot in two parts. Voters will vote either for or against the legalization of cannabis for therapeutic purposes. Medicinally. They will also choose between Initiative 65, which taxes medical sales and allows for 20 qualifying conditions, or Alternative 65A, which allows only terminally ill folks weed, and adds much harder restrictions for other patients.
There does not appear any question relating to recreational weed on Mississippi's ballot. However, support for therapeutic cannabis is extremely high across the United States. It is very likely that voters in the Magnolia State will legalize it for patients. For recreational users, the wait might prove notably longer. At least not until the next election in another four years' time.
Marijuana Delivery Santa Monica
No matter where you are in California, you can type "weed delivery near me" into your preferred search engine and find several reputable options. Marijuana delivery is popular in weed-friendly states, deemed essential for medical patients. For those living in states that have yet to legalize, the tide is turning. Momentum for its support is growing. It will soon be legal everywhere, even in your state.

This year, these five states are likely to join the growing list of other states with liberal weed laws. Legalization is spreading, and not just beyond California to the rest of the United States, but across the world too. For now, if you live in the Golden State, weed is widely and legally available, both medicinally and recreationally. You can fetch it yourself or have a qualified driver deliver it direct to your doorstep.

Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey from Penguin Audio.
An intellectual feast for fans of offbeat history, Ghostland takes readers on a road trip through some of the country's most infamously haunted places–and deep into the dark side of our history.
Friday on My Mind by Nicci French from Penguin Audio.
In Nicci's French's thrilling fifth book, London psychotherapist Frieda Klein herself becomes the prime suspect in a murder.
I have been meaning to read/listen to Nicci French. Hope you enjoy it!
I hope Ghostland isn't too scary!
Hope you enjoy Ghostland! Sometimes scary books are so much more terrifying in audio format. Looking forward to hearing more about this one. Happy (spooky) listening! | {

Home inspections are services rendered to customers by home inspectors by giving them vital information about the new home. Home inspectors will inspect all major components of the subject property to be exposed unknown defects and advise the owner about future maintenance. As this are qualified inspectors with a lot of knowledge upon the inspection field thus will advise the owner of the home on whether the home is ready to be functional or not however the decision will always be determined by the owner, not the inspectors. Mark you this are licensed inspectors that mean they will do thorough research and inspection upon that home before you indulge yourself in it. And from inspectors information the homeowner will decide whether or not to move in. Home inspectors are always patient and must take every precaution seriously upon your home and at the end of inspection they will give you a few days to decide on your next move however that will be determined by the information provided by them. Inspectors are qualified people who are hired to do what they are supposed to do thus whatever the results the owner must be ready to handle and respect that else their decision is based on what they have seen and not from their mind.
However, before hiring any home inspectors it is rather good to do research as not all are genuine thus one may need to inquire more about the inspection services. Beware of hooligans in the market as not everyone in the market is genuine actually some are con who are there to bring people down. You can always go digital and do research via doing a comparison of the website that offer similar services then you can decide which one is genuine and which one is not.
Professional home inspectors are always accommodative this shows how committed they are in serving their customers and that they are happy to assist you whatsoever as a customer you must be very cautious in looking at such details as this is how you will land to the right inspectors. Customers want some good services and certified inspection company is one way of assuring good services so always check certified company for better results. Check whether the company is licensed as licensed companies are best since you will be certain they are legally in the market. Qualified inspection companies should be operational at all times this means they must be reachable whenever their services are needed knowing very well that customers are people who may need their services thus no limitations should be experienced. | {

Game of Thrones's conclusion could not be more satisfying - and just. | Source: HBO
Brilliant Game of Thrones Finale Deserves Praise. Get Over it, Haters
September 25, 2020 UTC: 8:43 PM. May 20, 2019 UTC: 2:12 AM. by Lawrence Meyers
By CCN.com: SPOILER ALERT! Game of Thrones viewers expecting a slam-bang finale filled with hysteria — you must have been out of your minds – and driven further out of your minds when The Great War ended quietly with Jon Snow's knife through Daenerys' heart.
Game of Thrones has never shown a desire to meet audiences' expectations, but for those paying attention, there was no other way this could end. So while most fans are grabbing spears from the Unsullied, ready to storm Castle HBO, stuff a sock in it and learn why this GoT finale was exactly right.
Daenerys Was a Raging Narcissist
Tyrion wanders the ruins of King's Landing, eyeing the slaughtered innocents, and is summarily imprisoned for trying to save his brother, Jamie (whom he tearfully mourns, after finding him in the Red Keep's rubble along with ex-Queen Cersei).
While awaiting his sentence, he convinces Jon Snow that Daenerys is a narcissistic megalomaniac. He reminded Jon that Daenerys turned the Slavers into Baked Alaska, and crucified the nobles of Mereen. She burned all the Khals alive. She executed Lord Torly and son via Drogon flambé.
Jon, Sansa, and Arya are all threats to her. Based on her pattern of behavior, Daenerys tends to kill a lot of people before "liberating" them. Tyrion tells Jon there's only one course of action he can take, and he's right.
Jon, after vainly appealing to Daenerys to spare Tyrion, and proclaiming his everlasting love for her, slips a knife into her blackened heart. She dies as Cersei did, with a whimper.
The final brutal twist of #GameofThrones had been foreshadowed for years, if you knew where to look https://t.co/FNbFTfU7NF
— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) May 20, 2019
Daenerys Was Just Another Evil Queen
What you Game of Thrones finale haters forget is that Daenerys isn't even from Westeros. She's from Valyria. She got it into her head that she was entitled to the Iron Throne because her ancestor conquered it. Ser Jorah reminds her that the only reason Aegon the Conqueror seized the kingdoms was because he could. "And because he had dragons," as Daenerys adds.
Might makes right for Daenerys. She was not a noble freer of slaves and breaker of chains. She was a power-hungry narcissist. Her self-righteous claim to the throne was threatened after her long journey by none other than her lover and – oops – nephew, Jon Snow. The girl was crazy, amirite?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-URkVSytWg
Not with a Bang, but with a Whimper
The GoT finale was never going to have some shock ending where everything goes to black a la "The Sopranos". The big action set pieces had already concluded. The only things left for the GoT finale to resolve were interpersonal conflicts.
The only major characters left were Jon, Sansa, and Arya Stark; Tyrion; and Danerys. Someone was going to die because neither the Starks nor Daenerys could let the other live. Tyrion, as always, was trying to keep the peace until he realized that always trying to see the best in people was a really lousy long-term strategy.
Tyrion was never much in need of redemption, but was crushed with guilt over his repeated mistakes in both guiding Daenerys, and believing she was a good person.
That his wise counsel to Jon is carried out, and that he becomes Hand of King Bran, where his wisdom will be valued and useful, is exactly the right ending for him. This was his destiny — to be wise counsel to a good person who was reluctant to take the throne. Even economist Thomas Sowell agrees.
The last person to trust with power is someone who is dying to have it. The best person to wield power is someone who is reluctant to do so, but who will do it for a while as a civic duty. That is why term limits should make it impossible to have a whole career in politics.
— Thomas Sowell (@ThomasSowell) May 20, 2019
Arya heads west to make her own destiny because, by her own words, she "will never be a lady [of Winterfell]". Sansa gets what she needed to have — power, to be the rightful Queen of the North which is now its own independent kingdom.
Jon Becomes King…Just Not of Westeros
There's a lot of talk about "breaking the wheel", that is, the cycle of power and death in Westeros. That's what Daenerys claimed to be doing.
So, of course, Jon could not stay. He was the last loose end and the only way to maintain peace with the Unsullied, and truly break the wheel. He was always a man of the North, his Targaryen ancestors were not even natives, and he belonged in only one place: with the Free Folk. They were delighted to have him as their king.
Finally, back in King's Landing, veryone gets back to the business of rebuilding and ruling with noble intent. Again, it's the only possible ending for the GoT finale.
Get over It, Game of Thrones Finale Haters
The reason you GoT Finale haters hated the entire season is that the show subverted your expectations, even though you've been cheering on every big twist for the last 8 years. That includes the big spectacles being in episodes 3 and 5 of this year. You wanted the war with the Night King to be the big finale, but the show was never about the Night King.
Game of Thrones has always been about mankind being its own greatest threat. That's been proven out by the fact that Game of Thrones' own fans are turning on it because they lack imagination.

Pro Se May Be a Solution, But it's Also a Symptom: A Response to The Atlantic's "The DIY Divorce"
By: Michael G. Bergmann, Executive Director, Public Interest Law Initiative
*Originally posted on the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI) website, http://pili.org/pro-bono/diy-divorce-response
A contributing writer for The Atlantic recently wrote an article about how she represented herself in her divorce. PILI's Executive Director, Michael G. Bergmann, wrote the following response about why that is not always the answer when people cannot afford legal representation.
Deborah Copaken's story in her article "The DIY Divorce" grossly oversimplifies and misrepresents the realities of those who have to face America's court system alone. Even with the financial difficulties she outlines in the article, Copaken does not represent the typical pro se litigant, mainly because she was able to avoid many of the expensive and sometimes dangerous consequences of a divorce. Not to mention, she did not actually have a "DIY Divorce" since she repeatedly received legal help from a friend who was a lawyer.
Copaken's lawyer-friend explained best why a pro se solution was the right one for her, mainly that she was educated, spoke English and the divorce itself was relatively amicable. Additionally, even with Copaken's real financial hardships, she described a situation closer to middle class than poor. Most people who face a legal problem alone are close to or well below the poverty line and are disproportionally people of color. Unlike Copaken, they cannot afford to keep missing work if the other party forces multiple hearings like her husband. They cannot afford to forego alimony or forfeit child support. And most don't have Copaken's education to help them work through the intricacies of the legal system.
In actuality, having to navigate a legal issue alone is a symptom of a complex and costly system. For low-income litigants, foregoing legal representation could cost them even more financially and could also prove dangerous, such as in situations where domestic abuse is involved. As outlined in the 2018 article, Access to Justice Through Limited Legal Assistance, those who have legal assistance achieve better outcomes. The article cites one study that found that women with lawyers were able to secure a protective order 83% of the time compared with only 32% of women who did not have a lawyer. Another study showed that those with representation are more likely to receive positive outcomes for child support and custody than those representing themselves. Over and over again, litigants achieve better results with legal help than those who go it alone. That said, in our current civil justice system, there are those that will be forced to proceed pro se because legal aid is stretched too thin and for many, paying for a lawyer is literally a choice between that and child care, food and other basic necessities.
Luckily for Copaken, she had legal help. Her lawyer-friend answered questions, assisted with forms and helped Copaken navigate the legal system. The relationship outlined in the article looks very similar to a relationship between a client and a lawyer working on a pro bono, limited scope basis. And if Copaken, as a white, educated English-speaker was unable to navigate her amicable divorce completely on her own, why should we expect anyone else to?
Right now, there is an army of lawyers and organizations working tirelessly to help make the justice system accessible for those who cannot afford a lawyer. Perpetually underfunded and understaffed, these programs are working on real solutions to assist pro se litigants and make sure everyone has access to justice. In Illinois, where I'm from, Illinois Legal Aid Online provides online tools and resources curated and written by lawyers to help guide people through the legal system. The Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Access to Justice is also working to improve the system for pro se litigants by doing things like simplifying forms and making them available in multiple languages. Additionally, a large network of legal aid organizations and pro bono volunteers provide legal assistance for free to those whose problems are too complex to go pro se. At the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI), where I am the Executive Director, we are working to both increase pro bono service across the state by developing innovative pro bono opportunities, while also opening courthouse-based Self-Represented Litigant Help Desks to assist pro se litigants.
Instead of encouraging people to DYI their legal issues like a fun home improvement project, we should be encouraging more lawyers to do, or to do more, pro bono. According to the most recent annual report available from the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (2017), 32,446 lawyers performed 1,913,322 hours of pro bono legal services. That is a terrific start, but as of that report, there were 64,449 licensed lawyers in Illinois. That means that only about half of Illinois lawyers are doing pro bono. Legal aid programs across Illinois (and around the country) need the skills, training and experience of all lawyers to take on full representation, to perform limited scope representation, and to help at help desks and clinics.
Rather than expecting people to represent themselves, we should be focused on fixing a justice system that leads people to consider that as, or for it to be, their only option. We should be providing resources for those that need it, while also building a system that actually provides equal and accessible justice for all. More than anything else, we should not be forcing people to face what is often the worst moments of their lives, be it divorce, domestic violence, eviction or any other civil legal issue, alone.

As the time of kalpa-defilement advances,
The bodies of sentient beings gradually grow smaller;
Their evil and wrongdoing amid the five defilements increase,
So that their minds are like poisonous snakes and evil dragons.
Signs of Mappo
One thing that always captures my interest is the fact that the source of this verse - Shan-tao's Hoji San - lists the gradual extinction of the environment as being inseparable from the decline and demise of humanity. What does this mean?
We are used to thinking of 'The Environment' as meaning the natural world. The study of the environment we call 'ecology', the science of the ecosystem. It is certainly true that - driven by the human need for food and clothing - the natural environment is being violently pillaged. Forests are being cut down, species are becoming extinct, the soil exhausted, rivers polluted and resources diminished. These events, however, are not what is intended in descriptions of the decline of the dharma. The systems of living organisms, like all things, are in a state of constant change and flux. Serious changes have occurred before, and - as human beings - we will need to adapt to any changes if we are to survive.
Perhaps in a generation or two we will learn from bitter experience that we need to be kinder to our water-courses, find agricultural practices that are sustainable, establish appropriate, 'eco-friendly' plants to sustain our population, and generally adjust to any resulting long-term climatic changes that may develop. Management is, after all, part of being human. Good management of our surroundings has enabled us to survive as a species so far. Hygiene is probably the most striking example. Personal cleanliness and dirt-free surroundings contribute more to health and well-being than anything else.
Needless to say, there is nothing in the teaching of the Buddha that suggests that environmental conservatism - rather than management - is a more desirable way of dealing with change. Non-harming (ahimsa) is a key and fundamental principle of Buddhist ethics but this is an individual responsibility that applies to our relations with other sentient beings. It does not neccessarily have sociological or political significance; except that in human affairs it is sometimes subversive, especially when prejudice or factional violence is called for by the group that we identify with.
In the sense that the dharma understands it, 'environment' refers to the way that the content of a person's heart and mind impacts upon his or her surroundings. For example, a Buddha's environment is characterised by the features of his enlightenment and nirvana. It is a radiant, clear and all-embracing, compassionate, environment. A person of bonno (Sk. kleshas), on the other hand, has a 'passionate' environment. It is complicated, noisy, irritating, agitated, confused and full of impurities - or, in the Buddhist phrase, 'dusty'.
It is possible to see, from this perspective, that there is a clear development, which co-incides with the age of decline. This is to be found in the way we live as a species. For many millennia we have been emerging from the tribal, nomadic life, through a gradually evolving urban existence - based on settled agriculture - to an expanding urbanisation in association with industry and commerce. From a life of relative silence and isolation as nomads living in very small groups, we human beings are gradually becoming fully urbanised. The number of people engaged in agriculture has been in decline for hundreds of years and cities have been constantly growing in size and complexity.
The noisy, stressful, complex, crowded and constantly expanding nature of our modern megalopolitan existence is - from the point of view of the dharma - the projection of our own common inner reality. The noise of the city is the noise of our hearts - self-induced. It is the environment that we desire. The point is that the growth of cities has been gradual and incremental and clearly co-incides with any putative sense of the age of the declining dharma as a developing historical reality. It is, if you like, an objective, yet empirical, test of the genuine reality that is the age of declining dharma.
I do not think, however, that this is the way that Shinran 'proved' the reality of mappo for himself. The fact is that Shinran's insight into mappo does not tend to associate the three dharma ages of 'real, semblance and declining' with the historical context of the seven dharma Masters, who, though anchored in history, seem isolated from such developments. Shinran sees all of the dharma Masters as manifestations of the dharma itself - of Amida Buddha, - in one way or another. Their teaching is not subverted by the moment in time at which they lived. Nagarjuna's teaching, for example, is not a manifestation of the false 'realisation' that is supposed to be characteristic of someone, who is living in the age of semblance dharma.
The same can be said for Honen Shonin. As far as Shinran is concerned Honen was fully awakened and even enlightened; we have already seen that Shinran saw Honen as a manifestation of the all-wise Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta. It follows, then, that it is not at all clear that Shinran was very conscious of the passage of time, along with unfolding events and the evolution of mappo.
The remarkable thing about Shinran is the thoroughly 'Buddhist' way that he relates to his environment and to events. For he saw the proof of the age of mappo, not by carrying out an objective analysis of historical events, but by coming to terms with his own inner reality. Yes, it is true that the people around him had 'become like poisonous snakes and spiteful dragons', but, more importantly he saw this degeneration into elemental ignorance - the serpentine and primitive cortex - within his own heart. This makes Shinran stand out as unique among all of the world's great religious teachers.
Shinran discovered the age of declining dharma by looking within. Whereas most religious teachers seek to attract followers to themselves by trying to tout their own supernatural powers and moral excellence as evidence that they are qualified for such a role, Shinran felt that he had no such qualification. He tried, as hard as he could, to deflect our gaze from his person to that of Amida Buddha. It is this profound personal awareness that, paradoxically shows Shinran up as a person of rigorous honesty and truthfulness; he becomes someone, whom we know that we can trust.
Shinran would probably not have come to the pure entrusting heart that enabled him to gain such clear and honest insights were it not for the fact that he was engaged with all of the normal complexities and anxieties of life. The Shozomatsu Wasan are his final work, his last testament. In them we discover the full depth and wealth of his personal spiritual maturity. We know, from his writings, the genuine anguish he endured when it became necessary for him - for the well-being of the nembutsu community that he led - to disown his own son, Zenran.
At the end of his life, Shinran had become reconciled to himself, along with the internal and first-hand evidence that assured him that the age of mappo was real. It was surely only because he lived within the all embracing light of Amida Buddha that such an acute insight was possible. Although he felt that his inner reality was lamentable, it was at the same time a source of joy, since it deprived him of any option other than unconditonal and whole-hearted trust in Amida Buddha. | {

Once the snow has melted and your roof is visible once again, it's a good idea to look it over. (View your roof with binoculars from the ground if you don't feel safe climbing up a ladder.) If you spot any cracked or loose shingles, have them repaired right away. The last thing you want is for the hot summer sun to take its toll and cause further damage.
2. CLEAR GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS.
Without sufficient drainage, your home may take on water in the lower level. Prevent this from happening by clearing out the gutters and ensuring they're affixed securely to the house. If debris is clogging up a downspout, shoot a stream of water through it with a hose to clear the blockage.
3. ENSURE WINDOWS ARE PROPERLY SEALED.
If the caulking around your windows is in poor condition, you may experience air and water leakage (which obviously isn't ideal when facing spring rains and summer heat). Re-caulk windows if necessary, and – if you noticed condensation over the winter – consider replacing the windows entirely.
4. CLEAN YOUR AIR CONDITIONER.
Over time, dust and debris can collect on your air conditioning unit and negatively impact its performance. Now is a great time to vacuum up dust particles and replace the filter. Even better, have a professional look over your AC unit and clean the coils to keep it running efficiently.
5. RAKE THE LAWN AND CLEAN THE DECK.
Think raking is just a fall activity? Think again! If you notice any leftover leaves and branches in your yard from the autumn season, rake them up now before they ruin the grass. You should also give your deck a thorough sweep and replace any damaged boards.
Wash off your outdoor furniture items (or, at the very least, rinse them with a hose) to remove dust, insects, etc. If you have metal furniture, be on the lookout for rust or eroded paint. Repair any problem areas with a layer of spray enamel. This will protect your furniture from becoming increasingly harmed by humidity, rain, etc.
Before you know it, you'll be outside under the warm summer sun mowing the lawn once again. But before that happens, clean your equipment and make sure your blades are sharp.

Regardless, I've realized that I love a high neck sleeveless top and this is a great pattern. It looks like something you'd find in Madewell, except it really is made well because you made it yourself.
Great matching of fabric and pattern! | {

Q: One method fails unit test only when all tests are run but passes when tested individually? I am a first year at college studying application dev and our assignment is to make a simple registration and log in system.
The only problem right now is that the unit testing doesn't work when I run them all at once with the Run Tests feature on VSCode.
the error is this
java.lang.AssertionError

assertTrue(loginTest.checkUserName("kyl_1"));
}
@Test
public void testCheckUserNameF() {
assertFalse(loginTest.checkUserName("kyle!!!!!!!"));
}
@Test
public void testIsValidPassword() {
assertTrue(loginTest.checkPasswordComplexity("Ch&&sec@ke99!"));
}
@Test
public void testIsValidPasswordF() {
assertFalse(loginTest.checkPasswordComplexity("password"));
}
}
The only one that fails when tested all at once is the TestIsValidPasswordF
A: Main issue is your uppers / digits / specials counts are never set back to zero after checking a password. So when you run all tests and it gets to testIsValidPasswordF I would assume testIsValidPassword has ran first and you already have a number greater than 1 in these counts.
When you run a test on its own the counts start as 0 which is why it passes.
Moving these counts to the start of the checkPasswordComplexity method should fix it.

ColumnsMorning After
The Morning After: Bears Beat Seahawks, 35-24
The announcement came down a little over a year ago that Jim Mora was fired as the Seahawks coach. The season had ended horribly, including a home loss to miserable Tampa Bay. The franchise teetered on the edge of perennial irrelevance. Pete Carroll and John Schneider came in and joked around at press conferences in a way that seemed to indicate they thought all we needed was a few laughs and a good attitude. It felt like someone cracking jokes at a wake. Most fans were too depressed or disinterested to care. Then they shocked everyone inside and outside the organization with a major infusion of talent on draft day. Russell Okung, Earl Thomas, Leon Washington, and a host of promising partners came aboard. I wrote back then about how "front office" Pete Carroll had just made it harder on "Coach" Pete Carroll by raising expectations. That one weekend switched the talk from how bad this team was to how good it might be. It was unrealistic, but who cared? It sure was better than talking about Tim Ruskell's latest lousy draft. This 2010 season was a team so clearly in transition, it looked a lot like Two-Face, struggling to escape it's disfigured past. The win against the Rams, and then the Saints did to "front office" Pete Carroll what the draft did to the coach, it has raised expectations. This off-season will be the most critical in the last half-dozen years. Falling back into mediocrity, or worse, is a very real possibility. Ascending to a 10+ win season is within reach as well. The team needs to add at least as much talent as last season just to accomplish what it did this year. The NFC West will improve. The schedule will be far tougher. Carroll has done nothing to indicate fans should expect anything but another step forward. Comparing his task one year ago to the one today is like comparing winning on the road to winning at Qwest. This is far easier.
The season ended Sunday with a thud. Chicago came out and played pretty much as you expected them to play, and the Seahawks came out uninspired and timid. The defense was not good enough in any aspect. Stopping the run didn't happen. Rushing the passer didn't happen. Defending the receivers (and tight end) didn't happen. This is a flawed Bears team. Nothing I saw yesterday made me think any more of them than I did before the game started. They absolutely played the better game, and deserved to win, but this was nothing more than a battle to see who gets the honor of being destroyed by a far superior Packers team next week or AFC opponent in the Super Bowl. Jay Cutler made enough losing plays yesterday to write a totally different script. The Seahawks were no where near sharp enough to take advantage of them.
Offensively, a familiar problem reared its ugly head. Matt Hasselbeck is a solid quarterback, but he relies so heavily on timing that effective jams on receivers and suspect footing leads to mistimed throws. Time and again, receivers were a step behind where Hasselbeck was throwing. The field had a real effect on timing, and that's not meant as an excuse. It's a critique of the offense. They need to be able to re-calibrate in real time. By the end of the game, things were clicking, but the outcome had been decided by then. The injury to Carlson was a major moment. So much of the Seahawks offense is predicated on two tight ends. Again, not an excuse, but a critique. How can a team that has that much of its playbook built on multiple tight ends only carry two healthy players at that position going into a major playoff game? The offense was not nearly as bad as the eight straight punts to start the game indicated. Drops hurt. Great Bears defense against the run hurt. This was a classic example of how a few plays could have drastically changed the make-up of the game. That will be laughable to Bears fans and national media, they haven't watched this Seahawks team. The rhythm they got in toward the end of the game was attainable earlier. It just didn't happen.
A few highlights to remember include Hasselbeck throwing seven touchdowns and just one interception in two playoff games. He ends the season with more TDs than INTs. He was a few dropped passes away from a 300 yard game and 100+ QB rating. Ben Obomanu continues to justify the team's confidence in him. Russell Okung skunked Julius Peppers on the pass rush once again. If there was one thing I was really worried about before the game, it was Peppers' motivation to show game one was a fluke. Okung kept that from happening on two bad ankles. That's a great sign for the future of the franchise. David Hawthorne played a solid game, and looked the part of playoff linebacker. Aaron Curry got his first career interception. Raheem Brock continued his fantastic play in the stretch run with another sack, bringing his season total to 11.0. Chris Clemons was pretty good as well.
Now it's time to look ahead. Next year will be the first time Pete Carroll will have a chance to add more than just patchwork players fill important roles on the team. How will he approach free agency? What will the draft bring? Hope has replaced disinterest and boredom. Seahawks football is worth caring about again. Expect some posts examining the roster, and potential changes in the coming weeks. Thanks to everyone who reads for a great season. The blog went from about 30 followers on Twitter to nearly 1,500 on Facebook and Twitter combined. It's been fun.

SEAHAWKS/BEARS PREVIEW PART I: What A Seahawks Loss Might Look Like
Hawkgirl January 17, 2011
Thanks for another great recap on both the game and season. We went to the game and came away reflecting how different this year felt than last. I have hope for the future and am optimistic about the next few years ahead. I look forward to reading your blog for years to come.
Jeff January 18, 2011
Thanks, HB, for your great posts and hard work all season. The offseason is going to feel like forever. Here is to hoping a CBA is figured out and the FO makes another great turnaround for a new season.
RubenDaHawk January 18, 2011
HB, many thanks for all your great work during the season. I love your blog and your style of analysis. You always manage to hit the right notes somehow. It was really fun this year watching the Hawks. Although we didn't play well in Chicago and actually Chicago was beatable that day IMHO if we had brought our best and made some of those plays that we left out there. I still feel good about the team and the season. Just the list of free agents worries me a little. I hope we don't have to get 25 new players in again…would love for guys like Washington, Brock, Mebane and Stokely to stay…I think they will make Hass a priority and go from there. Would like to hear your thoughts on the free agent situation whenever you're ready…take care. | {

\section{Introduction}
Twitter is one of the most popular worldwide social media platforms with over 330 million monthly users and approximately 500 million tweets every day\cite{twitter}.
Their recommendation system has to meet many challenges such as fast recommendation time and adaptation to rapidly changing hashtags and real-world news. A central concept of Twitter recommendations is fairness: the quality of the recommendations should be equally high regardless of the popularity of authors, tweets, and individual languages. All these challenges are reflected in this year's competition hosted by Twitter - the ACM RecSys 2021 Challenge. The aim of the challenge is to predict whether a given user will react to a given tweet. The competing systems are required to provide fair recommendations and work in a strictly resource-constrained setting, requiring very small model size and fast inference.
Our approach takes the second place on the final leaderboard. The model relies on smart input feature preparation with our Efficient Manifold Density Estimator (EMDE) \cite{emde} and Fourier Feature Encoding (see \S\ref{fourier}) methods (among others), used to represent the tweet text, historical interactions of users and their Twitter account status. The underlying model is a simple feed-forward neural network. Our contributions are the following:
\begin{enumerate}
\item We adapt the EMDE to a new domain and obtain a successful result. Previously, EMDE has achieved top results in session-based and top-k recommendations \cite{emde}, and various challenges: KDD Cup 2021 (predictions in an academic graph) \cite{kddcup}, WSDM Challenge 2021 (recommendation of travel destinations) \cite{daniluk2021modeling}, and SIGIR eCom Challenge 2020 (multimodal retrieval) \cite{sigir_ecom}.
\item We introduce the Fourier Feature Encoding which allows to express continuous features in a numerically stable way without normalization.
\item We analyze the effectiveness of various input features, such as user cluster assignments, user account features, and tweet text features.
\item We analyze the fairness concept in detail, taking into account tweet languages and user popularity. We find that our model mostly gives fair recommendations.
\item We show how our design choices lead to the creation of a very efficient system, with single prediction taking about 4ms on a single CPU without a GPU card.
\end{enumerate}
\section{RecSys 2021 Challenge}
The ACM RecSys 2021 Challenge \cite{DBLP:conf/recsys/AnelliKFBTPL0XH21} focuses on the real-world task of predicting whether a user will engage with a given tweet. The competing models must predict the probability of engagement for each of the four reaction types: \textit{Like}, \textit{Reply}, \textit{Retweet} and \textit{Quote}.
The released data set \cite{belli20212021} consists of more than 1 billion data points from 28 consecutive days between 4 February 2021 and 4 March 2021.
The data set has a tabular structure with 20 raw features.
The first three weeks were used for training, while the last week was randomly divided into validation and test sets.
At the beginning of the challenge, the models were evaluated on the public leaderboard that used the validation data set. Two weeks before the end of the competition, the validation targets were released as an extra data source for training and a new test leaderboard was introduced. This changed the competition setting as the validation set is sampled from the same time distribution as the final test set, while the training set is sampled from the past.
It imitates the real production environment, where models can be fine-tuned in real-time to adapt to current trends.
The data set contained both positive and negative examples of different types of engagement between a given tweet and the users. The available features describe two types of users, which we further call \textit{engaging user} and \textit{engaged user} for consistency with Twitter nomenclature. \textit{Engaged} user denotes the creator of the given tweet, while \textit{engaging user} denotes the user who reacts (or chooses not to react) to the tweet. Each tweet is represented as set of tokenized wordpiece ids from multilingual BERT model from 66 different languages such as English, Japanese or Thai. Moreover, the data contains information about hashtags, present media, links domains, number of followers of engaged and engaging users, verification of both user's accounts and information if engaged user follows engaging user.
This is the second edition of the challenge hosted by Twitter, with the previous RecSys Challenge 2020 being very similar in terms of data structure and targets. Four main changes were introduced in the 2021 edition. First, the challenge brings the problem even closer to Twitter's real recommendation systems by introducing strict latency constraints. Each model needed to be uploaded and evaluated in a separate test environment provided by the organizers, with only 1 CPU core, no GPU, $64$GB RAM size, $20$GB disk space, and a time limit of 24 hours for making all predictions, which gives about 6ms per single tweet prediction. It encouraged teams to develop novel solutions that can be easily applied in the production environment.
Second, the size of training data was increased from one week to three weeks.
Third, the data density was increased in terms of the graph where users are considered to be nodes and interactions as edges.
Additionally, recommendation fairness was cast as a vital part of the challenge.
The metrics used for performance evaluation were relative cross entropy (RCE) and the average-precision (AP) for each type of engagement. The fairness concept was included in the metrics by dividing authors into 5 groups according to their popularity on the platfom and evaluating separately for each group. The final score was computed as the average of the scores across each group.
\section{Related Work}
The last year's challenge - the Twitter Recsys Challenge 2020 - was very similar to the 2021 edition, with one of the core differences being that it allowed to build more complex models, due to no constraints on latency and smaller data volume. The winners \cite{10.1145/3415959.3415996} introduced an XGBoost model with extensive feature engineering, encoding features with techniques such as Target Encoding, or difference lag (time difference for datetime features). They found that experimental detection of adequate feature transformations and feature combinations was of chief importance. The runner ups \cite{volkovs2020predicting} included extensive feature engineering as well (467 features total). They introduce a Transformer model for comparing the embedding of current tweet and a collection of historical user tweets, overall creating a mixed architecture of deep learning and gradient boosting trees. The 3rd place team \cite{10.1145/3415959.3415994} aimed to exploit correlations between various target variables with a two-stage approach using LightGBM models.
Overall, top past challenge solutions often included a simple (usually non-neural) classifier model with the bulk of work put into feature engineering. This is the approach whose merit is further confirmed by our submission in a much more resource-constrained setting.
\section{Approach}
The first step of our approach is to obtain a tweet text representation by fine-tuning a DistilBERT model \cite{sanh2019distilbert} on tweets, and using EMDE \cite{emde} to represent text as a \textit{sketch} (a compressed, fixed-size representation of the tweet meaning). We then extract features that describe tweet content, the engagement history of engaging and engaged users, and their account status features. Text sketch and features are fed into a simple shallow feed-forward neural network which is trained to predict each type of engagement.
Since the time distribution of validation and training sets is different, we train the model in two stages: 1) using training set, and then 2) fine-tuning the model on validation set, which was released two weeks before the end of the competition. Note that the training set contains 3 weeks of historical data, but validation set is taken from the same time distribution as final test set.
\begin{figure}[ht]%

\caption{Data Partitioning. First we train our model using training set, then we fine-tune it using validation set which was sampled from the same time distribution as hidden test set.}
\label{fig:data_partition}
\end{figure}
\subsection{Data Partitioning}
The data partitioning process is depicted in Figure \ref{fig:data_partition}.
Inspired by \cite{volkovs2020predicting}, we apply a non-overlapping 24 hours sliding window to the training period. As a result, all training examples are divided into day-sized chunks based on engagement time for positive examples or tweet creation date for negative samples. Engagements from a single day were used as training targets, while all the rest are used for feature extraction. Note that temporal structure was broken here, because we use features from the future interactions to predict current engagement. This partitioning results in creating 21 training parts that were shuffled before training.
The local evaluation of our model was performed on a 10\% random sample from the provided validation set.
Additionally, we apply similar partition procedure to the validation set whose targets were released by the organizers, but instead of partitioning the data per day, we randomly divided it into 10 parts. Each of them was used as training targets, while the rest 9 parts were used for feature extraction.
\subsection{Feature extraction}
In order to describe users and target tweets, we apply feature engineering with a particular focus on historical engagements of tweet creator and engaging users. For each data point, we compute the following features:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Interactions between engaged and engaging user}. These features summarize historical engagement between the author of a tweet and engaging user. We simply count the number of engagements for each reaction between the engaged and engaging users on historical part of data.
\item \textbf{Engaged user interactions.} We extract features that summarize the history of interactions of engaged user by counting the number of interactions of each type of engagement which this author received, which describes the total level of engagement they received.
\item \textbf{Engaging user interactions.} Similarly to the engaged user features, we count the number of each type of reaction which the engaging user gives to any other user.
In addition, we calculate the number of interactions of engaging user with the tweets that are in the same language as the target one. We also incorporate historical interactions between the engaging user and hashtags from the current tweet.
\item \textbf{Interactions between engaging user and users similar to the engaged user.} We count the number of interactions between engaging user and the users which are similar to engaged user. Similar users are detected in the following way: first, for each user $U$, a set of users $F_U$ who follow the user $U$ is created. Then, for each user pair $(A,B)$ we compute their follower similarity score as Jaccard similarity between the follower sets $F_A$ and $F_B$ using an efficient Python set similarity implementation\footnote{\url{https://github.com/ekzhu/SetSimilaritySearch}}. If the similarity score falls above a threshold (selected experimentally), we mark the two users as similar. Clusters of similar users are precomputed at the training stage and reused during inference.
\item \textbf{Interaction with tweets.} Since some tweets from the validation set also appear in the test set, we count the number of interactions with a specific tweet id from the validation set.
\item \textbf{Account status.} We extract features that describe the accounts of a both engaged and engaging users such as: number of followers, number of following users, binary flag indicating if the account of a user is verified, time since account creation.
\item \textbf{Interaction clusters.} We perform community detection on directed graphs of engaged-engaging user interactions utilizing Leiden algorithm\citep{Traag2019} implemented in \textit{leidenalg}\footnote{\url{https://github.com/vtraag/leidenalg}} package. We calculate Modularity Vertex Partitions with default settings on 4 graphs spanned by all 4 engagement types. For each graph we have 2 features: a 0/1 variable indicating if both users belong to the same partition, and the inverse of partition cardinality (zero when users belong to different partitions). This allows us to capture potentially complex communities of mutual interaction between users, with large communities having lower interaction strength.
\item \textbf{Tweet Content.} Features summarizing the content of a target tweet, e.g: number of hashtags, language of a tweet, the presence of additional content (image, video, gif, links, media, domains), the type of tweet (quote, retweet or top level), time of a tweet.
\end{itemize}

\caption{EMDE used to represent tweets as token sketches. The matrices $M$ hold ids of regions to which each data point had been assigned after a density-aware LSH space partitioning. The matrices $B$ hold sparsified versions of matrices $M$. Matrices $B$ (representing each word) are summed and normalized to form an aggregate sketch (jointly representing the meaning of all words in a tweet). Aggregate sketches are used directly as input to a downstream model.}
\label{fig:emde-tokens}
\end{figure*}
\subsection{Fourier Feature Encoding}
\label{fourier}
All numerical features such as number of interactions, number of followers, time since account creations are encoded with our Fourier Feature Encoding, which is a way to sidestep the necessity of explicit normalization of model inputs. Instead of feeding a single input feature, we transform it into a 16-dimensional vector. First, an input numeric value is divided by a few numbers representing increasing scale levels (in our case, 8 scale levels represented by powers of 2). Then, each of the 8 results is fed to $sin$ and $cos$ functions. The numeric significance of the feature is thus represented on multiple levels, and in a numerically stable way as any number is brought to a small numeric interval defined by trigonometric functions. Fourier Feature Encoding does not usually offer significant performance gains but it facilitates the usage of continuous features. An example of values obtained from the algorithm is shown in Figure \ref{fig:fourier}. Below we present a code snippet of the Fourier Feature Encoding.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python]
import numpy as np
def multiscale(x, scales):
return np.hstack([x.reshape(-1,1)/pow(2., i) for i in scales])
def encode_scalar_column(x, scales=[-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]):
return np.hstack([np.sin(multiscale(x, scales)),
np.cos(multiscale(x, scales))])
\end{lstlisting}

\caption{Values obtained from the Fourier Encoding for 8 scale levels (powers of 2: $2^1$,...,$2^8$), and input value of 100.}
\label{fig:fourier}
\end{figure}
\subsection{Tweet representation}
Due to the inference time limit, embedding tweets on the fly with Transformer-based models such as BERT was not feasible. Thus, we utilized a more time-efficient approach representation of tweet contents based on pretrained DistilBERT \cite{DBLP:journals/corr/abs-1910-01108} vectors fed to EMDE \cite{emde}.
EMDE uses a density-aware manifold partitioning method in order to create meaningful manifold regions. Each region holds samples which are similar according to distance metric expressed within the embedding space which spans the manifold. EMDE can aggregate item sets of arbitrary size into a fixed-side structure which works well with simple feed-forward networks, and much of the computational effort can be done once, before training and inference.
First, in order to acquire high quality token embeddings, we fine-tune a generic pretrained DistilBERT multilingual model \textit{distilbert-base-multilingual-cased} from the Huggingface library \cite{wolf-etal-2020-transformers}. We fine-tuned the DistilBERT model using the training set, then applied the portion of the validation set which is available for training. In order to construct EMDE sketches, we needed to obtain per-token embeddings. We achieved this by embedding all tweets with our DistilBERT model and computing the average per-token embedding. We fit EMDE on a single manifold spanned by all token vectors, irrespective of the language. As a result, we obtain multiple data-aware space partitionings, with similar tokens located in the same regions frequently (per analogy to Locality-Sensitive Hashing \cite{emde}). EMDE sketches have the property of additive compositionality, which allows us to create an aggregate tweet content representation with simple summation of all tweet token sketches. The aggregate per-tweet sketches are finally L2-normalized. The procedure is displayed in Figure \ref{fig:emde-tokens}.
\subsection{Model}
We base our model architecture on our previous design choices which proved appropriate for recommendation with EMDE \cite{emde}, various previous challenges \cite{daniluk2021modeling,sigir_ecom,kddcup}, and which form the backbone of our commercial system. We train a three-layer residual feed-forward neural network with 1500 neurons in each hidden layer, with leaky ReLU activations and batch normalization. The input of the network consists of the following feature vectors, which are simply concatenated:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Width-wise L2-normalized sketch that represents the text of a tweet.
\item Numeric features such as number of historical interactions, number of followers etc. which are encoded with our Fourier Feature Encoding.
\item Categorical features such as current day, time of tweet and language of tweet that are represented by embedding layers.
\end{enumerate}
The output of the network consists of 4 neurons that represents predictions of like, reply, retweet and quote engagements for a target tweet. The model is trained by optimizing a binary cross entropy loss function for each engagement type.
\section{Experiments}
In this section, we first describe our training setup (§\ref{training}), then we present our final result on the leaderboard (§\ref{results}), and analyze the effectiveness and challenges of our method (§\ref{ablation}).
\subsection{Training}
\label{training}
We train our model on single Tesla V100 16 GB GPU card. Training takes circa 24 hours on one billion training data points. Then, we fine-tune the model on the released validation set, which takes about 60 minutes.
We use AdamW optimizer \citep{loshchilov2017decoupled} with first momentum coefficient of 0.9 and second momentum coefficient of 0.999 \footnote{Standard configuration recommended by \citep{kingma2014adam}} with an initial learning rate of $0.0001$, weight decay of $0.01$ and a mini-batch size of 256 for optimization. The learning rate was linearly decayed.
The final model was trained for 2 epochs on the training set and then fine-tuned for 3 epochs on the validation set.

\label{tab:ablation}
\end{table*}
\subsection{Ablation studies}
\label{ablation}
In order to understand the effects of crucial parts of the training process, we conduct additional experiments. Due to the long training time, we train our models only on $90\%$ of validation set, but use all interactions from the training set as input features. The remaining part of the validation set was used for our final evaluation.
To ensure a comparable number of parameters of all models, we adjusted the hidden size to have roughly the same total number of model parameters.
The ablation results are summarized in Table \ref{tab:ablation}. In the \textit{Interaction} setting our model takes as input only historical engagement information of target users. By including tweet content features (sketch representation of tweet text; presence of video, image, gif; type of tweet), we observed the average $11.8\%$ increase of the average precision score and $17.4\%$ increase of relative cross entropy score. The biggest improvement is for \textit{reply} reaction, which may lead to the conclusion that information about the content of the tweet, e.g. information that the author is asking a question, is particularly important for reply engagement.
Adding user account features (number of followers, verification, binary flag indicating if engaging user follows the author of a tweet) improves the AP and RCE scores by $0.5\%$ and $1\%$, respectively. In addition, we verify the impact of features based on user communities. They increase the average AP score from $0.362$ to $0.365$, and the average RCE score from $23.0$ to $23.4$.
In the next set of experiments, we compare another representation of tweet text. We replace EMDE with an average of all tokens' embeddings learned by our fine-tuned DistilBERT model. Note that embedding the tweets on the fly during inference breaks the latency constraints, so we use precomputed and per-token averaged embeddings. The results are presented in Table \ref{tab:ablation}.
Elimination of EMDE decreases metrics significantly by $2.8\%$ for AP score, and $2.3\%$ for RCE on average.

\label{fig:fairness}
\end{figure}
We also verify the impact of the fairness concept by dividing the test examples into 200 quantile groups based on the popularity of the author of a tweet (computed as the number of the author's number of followers). The results are visualised in Figure \ref{fig:fairness}. We can observe that there is no strong trend in the average precision score for \textit{reply}, \textit{retweet} and \textit{quote} reactions. However, the performance of predicting \textit{likes} increases with the popularity of the author.
Additionally, we evaluate our model for different tweet languages. Figure \ref{fig:languages} shows the visualization of average precision score in terms of language popularity. Generally, less popular languages achieve scores similar to most popular languages (with some exceptions). A strong outlier is Thai language, which achieved significantly lower score in spite of being fairly popular. We hypothesize that this is due to the fact that our DistilBERT had been initially trained on 104 languages, however Thai was excluded according to Huggingface documentation\footnote{\url{https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-multilingual-cased}}.

\section{Summary}
In this paper we present our model which achieves 2nd place in the ACM RecSys Twitter 2021 Challenge. Our model is a 3-layer feed-forward neural network, which ingests tweet text representation encoded with EMDE along with numerical and categorical features that describe users and target tweet. The model is very efficient and adheres to the strict latency constraints within the competition - a single prediction takes about 4ms on a single CPU without a GPU card.

Pork Souvla may the be most famous Cypriot dish and is arguably the most popular. Consisting of skewered pieces of meat that are grilled, it is traditionally made by men and dates back to the iron age.
Pork souvla is traditionally cooked on a foukou, which is a Greek charcoal grill with a rotisserie so that the meat can be turned and grilled evenly.
Souvla is found in Greece as well, but the Cypriot version has a number of key differences. Most importantly, it is made with larger pieces of meat. which means that they take longer to cook. As a result, Cypriot pork souvla is typically cooked at a lower temperature for longer periods.
In order to ensure a lower temperature, the meat is cooked further away from the coals than Greek souvlaki. It is then brought closer to the coals as the end of the cooking time nears. This allows the meat to cook all the way through without drying out.
Another difference is the fact that Greek souvlaki is usually made with lamb, not pork.
In Cyprus, pork souvla is usually served in a pitta and is associated with special occasions like religious holidays.
In a bowl, pour wine (or vinegar) and oil over the pork and toss to coat. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and oregano, and toss again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Note: If using vinegar, do not marinate longer than 2 hours or the meat can absorb too strong a vinegar taste. If using wine, the meat can be marinated for up to 2 days as long as salt is also used.
Using 8-inch skewers, thread approximately 6 pieces of meat on each. This should make about 12 skewers.
Grill the meat turning until well browned, about 15 minutes.
Serve on the skewers with a squeeze of lemon.
Serves 3 (4 skewers per person) as a main dish. | {

Q: Python File Upload rename, Zip and save My requirement is
*
*File upload,
*Rename the file,
*Compress it - make it as a zip,
*Save in required location,
*unzip the zip file,
*Remove the zip file,
*save the renamed file and filesize in DB
Renaming and zipping the file is not happening. Let me add my code here
@app.route('/temp/upload', methods=['POST'])
def upload():
if request.method == 'POST':
f = request.files['file']
random_string = generate_random(5)
print "Random string=> ", random_string # wqzhp
print "f.filename->>> ", f.filename # form3.pdf
fn = f.filename
fname = (fn).split(".")
random_file_name = fname[0] + '-' + random_string + "." + fname[1]
print "random_file_name>> ", random_file_name # form3-wqzhp.pdf
actual_file = os.path.join(load_path, random_file_name)
print "Actual file -> ", actual_file # uploadedDocs/1/form3-wqzhp.pdf
zip_f_name = actual_file + ".zip"
print "zip_f_name--> ", zip_f_name # uploadedDocs/1/form3-wqzhp.pdf.zip
f.save(zip_f_name)
zip_ref = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_f_name, 'r')
zip_ref.extractall(load_path)
zip_ref.close()
os.remove(zip_f_name)
if update_file_status(random_file_name, 0, csvid) is False:
return "update failed"
return "success"
When the zip is extracted, only original file uploaded is unzipped. zipping with the renamed file is not happening! How to save the renamed file in zip?
Any Clues!

How to Invest in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) Without Getting Scammed
By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler • November 22, 2017
As tempting as it is to invest in initial coin offerings (ICOs) right now, the last thing you want is to lose your money to a crypto-scammer.
By now, almost every investor is aware of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and how they've delivered almost unheard-of returns to early investors. In 2017 alone, the Bitcoin price is up more than 740%; the Ethereum price is up more than 4,000%.
The past year has brought an explosion of new cryptocurrencies, most of which arrive in the form of an ICO.
Some ICOs have raised stunning amounts of money in the blink of an eye. In August, Filecoin set the current record by raising $252 million in 30 minutes. This year, more than 200 ICOs have attracted more than $3.2 billion of investor money.
But unlike the IPO concept on which they are modeled, ICOs are virtually unregulated.
And that's fertile ground for scam artists...
Why Initial Coin Offerings Are Riskier Than Other Investments
Because the world of cryptocurrencies is virtually unregulated, ICOs lack any investor safeguards whatsoever.
For one thing, no regulatory oversight means the people behind an ICO don't need to follow strict disclosure requirements.
And because ICOs sell their tokens directly to the public, they don't need Wall Street investment banks or stock exchanges. Taking Wall Street out of the equation may sound appealing, but it removes another crucial layer of protection for retail investors.
A scam company would be exposed long before it reached its IPO date.

That lack of scrutiny makes it easy to launch an ICO designed solely to extract money from investors eager to get in on the ground floor of a fresh cryptocurrency.
It also means that if you fall into a scammer's trap, you have little recourse to recover lost funds. Money lost to crypto-scammers is usually gone for good.
But you don't have to pass up the extraordinary gains possible in cryptocurrencies out of fear. You just need to know how to tell legitimate ICOs from the risky ones.
Here are the red flags you should look for...

One-On-One Chat with Jacqueline Long
Kandidly Kristin: Hola podcast nation is your girl, Kandidly, Kristin. And this is the Kandid shop. today I have the honor and privilege of chatting with business marketing, strategist podcast, host, master certified life and mindset, coach and founder of elevate your BI coaching.
Miss Jacqueline long. Jacqueline helps women start online. Coaching businesses increase their confidence, master their organic sales and marketing strategies to attract clients in their business. So, welcome. Welcome. Welcome miss Jacqueline, long to the Kandid shop.
Jacqueline Long: Thank you so much, Kristen. It's such a pleasure to be here.
Thank you for having me. Oh,
Kandidly Kristin: you're so welcome. I had to give you a hand clap. I love the hand clap. I love it. Love it. Love it. That's awesome. Um, So, I guess I wanna start with, you walked away from a 20 plus year career to focus on your business full time. So tell me about the moment you made that decision and why you felt like the time was then.
Jacqueline Long: You know, that's a great question. Thanks so much for posing that question. You know, I had worked in the non for profit sector for 22 years. I mean, I did everything, you know, the traditional way that we, we are supposed to quote unquote, do things, go to college, graduate, then get a good paying job. And I had had a really great run.
You know, I, I started out after college as a counselor, you know, doing direct services and then, um, case management with the HIV aids, um, population and mental health population. And then moved my way up very quickly after completing my master's degree to a supervisory position. And then of, of course, senior management, right.
What really happened over those years was that I think I got a little burnt out, you know, I enjoyed what I did very much. Um, I enjoyed my work, I enjoyed my career, but I was also raising children in, you know, tending to family life. And I just felt that that. Point that I was ready. I had grown so much in my career, elevated myself to, uh, vice president of human resources.
Hmm. And then felt that it was time for me, you know, the next step, you know, sort of the natural course of my career journey, would've been to become a CEO. And I didn't want that. I had seen so much over the years that. You know, dealing with so much of management, um, politics and budgeting, lack thereof. Mm.
I just felt that I didn't want to take that next step. It was time for me to do what I wanted to do. And I really had gained the confidence in myself, my ability, my skills really step out and do. Take that risk to do okay. What I wanted to do. So it was really sort of a coming of the realization that, Hey, you've done all of this over the years.
You can do, you can start your own businesses. You can start your own business. If this is something you really wanna do. So step out and do it. It was scary. Right. But I did it. back since
Kandidly Kristin: I got, let me ask you this, were you doing. Something on the side when you were working or did you like totally start fresh when you walked away from your career?
Jacqueline Long: I was actually doing some, some consulting on the side. I was also teaching graduate students in business. Okay. I had gotten a, uh, a teaching job online to teach kids, uh, students that were adult students who were in a business administration program. So I was doing some of that as well. And I stepped to, I was able to step away from my job, which is something that I always recommend to everyone.
You know, you really have to be in a place that you feel comfortable and you're financially right. Stable to do that, to really make that step out. So it isn't something that I often recommend people to just do. Um, you know, on a whim, I did plan it, um, carefully. And then made the transition
Kandidly Kristin: mm-hmm okay.
And that's a great segue, cuz my next question was mm-hmm what was the transition like? And part two to that question is what were your very first steps after leaving the career to being a full-time entrepreneur?
Jacqueline Long: I actually went through a period of not working and living off of my savings because I moved also.
Okay. I decided to move I'm I'm a new Yorker, uh, raised in flushing Queens. I'm born in flushing, Queens raised in Brooklyn and I moved to Atlanta. This was nine years ago. And I moved to Atlanta. So I went through this transition. I went through a major transition. It was a life transition actually. Right, right.
More so than just, um, going from being an employee to an entrepreneur. I really went through a phase where I was ready for the new, I was ready to leave New York. I wanted a better schooling and a better, uh, better for my kids to, to, you know, to grow in. And so I decided to move out of state, which was something in my younger years.
I would've never actually. Done and didn't do so I made the move to Atlanta and I actually, you know, sort of transitioned to a new state, allowed myself that transition period hired a coach was the first thing that I did. Okay. I hired a business coach, one of the best sales coaches in the industry. Okay.
And I hired her and worked with her for five months. Okay. And that was sort of the, the beginning of that entrepreneurial transition. They had employee to entrepre transition for me. Okay. And it was the best thing that I ever did.
Kandidly Kristin: Okay. Now, when you hired her, what were you mm-hmm I guess, what were you looking for in a coach?
Were you looking for someone to. To guide you toward entrepreneurship. Like, did you have in mind what you wanted to do, like coaching
Jacqueline Long: or yes, I did. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to be a bus, you know, I knew I wanted to be a business coach because that was just sort of the natural journey for me.
That was my experience management, operations, business, teaching business students. So I understood entrepreneurship. I understood business. Okay. I had that background and so, yes. I knew I wanted to be a business coach and I really hired her for more of the mindset work. Okay. More of the accountability.
Okay. And to really guide me through those times where I had a lot of limiting beliefs and doubts that this could really happen because let me tell you something, that's the hardest part of it. Okay. Okay. It's really, truly the hardest part of it. I knew I had the skill. I knew I had the, I knew I had the ability and the background to do it, but it's all of that monkey mindset stuff that kind of intervenes that, you know, oh, this is not gonna work.
You're not gonna make any money. Right. You know, it's all of that stuff that you have to really deal with. It on the journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur, honestly. So that was why I hired her. And like I said, I felt that it was the best thing I ever did for, I, you need that support when you are doing something that it you've never done before.
Kandidly Kristin: Right. Right. That's another great segue because I wanted to ask. Did you generally find support among your circle of influence family, friends, et cetera? Were they like, girl? What are you doing?
Jacqueline Long: I did. Okay. I did. And my family was extremely supportive about it. My family knew friends did not. Okay. And wasn't really intentional. It was just sort of, I was so busy. Doing things, you know, it was more of a get this done and then share right where you are with people. Okay. You know, because you don't, because I had trepidation about telling certain people, because I didn't know how they would react and I didn't want anyone to take me off course.
Got it. Their opinions. Got it. My family was all that was important to me in terms of. Being successful in this because they always had my back, no matter what I chose to do, I knew they were the people that were gonna back me, whether I was successful or whether I failed. You know, got it. So I was held from other people because I just really was not open to, to people giving me their opinions about what they thought.
Got it. got it. And I think, and I don't mean to sound obnoxious about that.
Kandidly Kristin: No, they say you gotta move quietly, you know, let your success be. Your, your announcement to the world about what you're doing. A lot of people do a lot of talking and not a lot of doing so.
Jacqueline Long: Exactly.
Kandidly Kristin: Exactly. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So leaving the only home you've ever known, I'm assuming, and this is an assumption and tell me if I'm wrong, but your family is in new work still.
I mean, not your immediate family, your children, but like, you know, siblings, stuff like that.
Jacqueline Long: No, I have SI I have a SI my eldest sibling is here. I have family here, but the majority of my family is in New York and New Jersey. And my family's originally from the Caribbean. So I have family in the Caribbean as well.
Okay. Okay. Um, but I do have some family here as well. Okay,
Kandidly Kristin: good, good. Well, that's nice that you had support where you were going. So, um, talk to me a little bit about your coaching style, your model, how does it work and what can someone expect from working with you?
Jacqueline Long: Well, my style is very client centered. I really strongly believe I don't follow us a, a rigid, a rigid structure to my coaching.
I meet the client where they are, because my belief is that every client is different, right? Every client has different. They have different desires. They have different goals that they wanna obtain and they basically of course have different styles and personalities. What have you, and for me, it's about getting to know the client.
Yes. And then working with them in terms of what's important to them and what they want to achieve and will, will talk about. What that might look like for them. I may give them some options as to, okay. I think we can do this. We can do this. How does that feel to you? Okay. Which direction do you feel might feel, um, more authentic to you and more your style.
And then we can go in that direction. My experience, my training, my education over the years, and work with actual clients. In the non for profit sector, mm-hmm, really prepared me to be very focused on client centered work. It really is for me about what the client desires and not my agenda.
Kandidly Kristin: Got it. Got it.
Got it. Mm-hmm . So is your program, is it ALA carte? Can somebody sign up for one or two and done? Is it a package program? Is there a time commitment?
Jacqueline Long: I usually, I don't do much one to one coaching anymore. I do a lot of intensives now. It used to be 90 day coaching. I don't do a lot of that anymore just by choice.
Okay. But I do a lot of VIP intensives. Now I do make. Occasional exceptions for the one on one client, because I really want to work now with people who will do the work, who are ready to do the work, who are ready to step into that next version of themselves and to become the entrepreneur that they truly desire to be.
So I do do exceptional work at times. Um, I, I do a lot of one on ones, two hour sessions, one hour sessions here and there, but I tend to do a lot of more digital courses and products now as
Kandidly Kristin: well. Okay. All right. Well, that's interesting. That's an interesting form of coaching. I mm-hmm I kind of like not having to commit to, okay.
I have to meet with my coach at this time. If you've got 20, 20 other things going on, you know, that's not always, uh, practical for everybody, but being able to sign up for. A course and take it at your leisure. Mm-hmm uh, do your homework. And, um, so in those kinds of situations where somebody say they buy a package of courses, how, how is your interaction with them during that time?
Jacqueline Long: Well, most of my courses are, do it yourself. Okay. My intensives, which would, will be anywhere from an hour to two hours long, if there is a specific aspect of their business that they desire to work on, we can work on that specific thing that they're struggling on. And sometimes I offer as a bonus, of course, will support them in that particular struggle.
If I have the course that, that, that supports them, um, I'll offer them the course. As well. And so they'll get the coaching from me, go through the co course and then meet with me for a coaching session or two, sometimes it's one session. Sometimes it's, it's split into two sessions depending on what the client desires.
And then what we will do is we will, I will coach them through the actual, you know, we will talk about it and they can do the coursework on their own, or they can do the coursework. We, before they come to the session and ask. Lots of questions. What did you mean by this Jacqueline? How do I go in this direction?
Give me a little more detail in this. This is what I'm struggling with Jacqueline, you know, so, and I work, help them work through that. A lot of the women they can do the coursework, the skill stuff is, you know, the business skills, the marketing stuff is it's, it's straightforward for them, right? It's the mindset stuff and the accountability stuff that they really need my intervention on.
Kandidly Kristin: Got it. Mm-hmm your general demographic is, uh, what age stage? Like, are you. Startups people that have business are trying to grow it and are kind of stuck. Like where does your demographic generally lie? I'm sure it's a
Jacqueline Long: combination of all of that. It's it's a combination of both now. Okay. Yes. I tend to, I tend to prefer to work with more scaling women, more scaling now.
Oh, okay. Uh, but I do work with brand new. Entrepreneurs as well. Okay.
Kandidly Kristin: Mm-hmm so what two pieces of advice would you give to my listener? Someone that's gonna listen to this when it airs mm-hmm , who wants to start their business, but are afraid to take the leap or have started a business and are stuck as to how to grow it into what they want it to be.
Jacqueline Long: Okay, so I'll tackle the first question first. Okay. The first question was, uh, what would I, what would I recommend to them if they're just starting? What mm-hmm advice would I give them? Was that the question? Yes. Ma'am two pieces, right? So I would say to them the first and foremost phase to get crystal clarity on what you want.
Mm, get crystal clarity, clear on why you are starting this business. Mm-hmm . And what do you desire? What is your expectation that this business is gonna do for you? If you are in the nine to five, get clarity on your, why your, because this, your why is gonna anchor you. Yeah in this, you have to have a passionate reason.
Well, you don't have to, but if you have a passionate reason for starting your business, it's, what's really gonna help you go the, the, you know, the journey. Yep. You know, it's, it's, what's gonna anchor you in and help you to look back upon to say, this is why I'm doing this, you know? Right. I want financial freedom, whatever that looks like to you, or I want to create a legacy for my children or whatever that may be.
Do you get crystal clarity or you, what? Get crystal clarity on what you want to do and who you want to work with? I know why. You know why you're doing this. Yeah. Um, and then create the plan as to how you're going to do it. Okay. All right. That's the first part. And your second part of your question was,
Kandidly Kristin: oh, the second part is, yeah.
Sorry. Pieces of advice. That's okay. Two pieces of advice for somebody that has started their business, they've taken the leap. They may still be more working a nine to five mm-hmm , but they are looking for a blueprint or some guidance as to. How to go full in, into their business and grow it.
Jacqueline Long: so for this person, I would say for growing your business, it really depends on where you are and what, um, I would say for this person, definitely get support, get a coach that can help you scale that can help you do a deep dive into your business to see where you are.
Established goals as to where you want to go. What's your income and revenue, um, goals. Where do you wanna grow? How do you wanna proceed and to sort of create that strategic plan business plan for you to, to scale let's look at your offers, what you're offering and how much you're charging and let's, uh, do that deep dive so that you can take the business to the next level.
Kandidly Kristin: Okay. Now I have mm-hmm . This question is born from alive that I just did. Mm-hmm in terms of financing, where should somebody be when they're thinking about leaving a nine to five, a steady paycheck, where should they be in terms of finances? Cuz we talked about grants and loans and. What people should and shouldn't do in terms of funding their business.
So in your opinion, where should somebody be?
Jacqueline Long: I believe that you should be in a place where you have some savings, but you have also established a funding. Funds for your startup. There are going to be investments that you have to make at the beginning of your business. It's inevitable. Yeah. So what I tell people to do is particularly if you are in the nine to five, I often say use your, your nine to five as your investor.
Mm-hmm , you know, a lot of people come to me and say, you know, put to really women who are just starting out. I'm I wanna get outta my nine to five. I hate this job. mm-hmm I wanna get out. I wanna start this business. And I wanna get out like yesterday. Right? And so what I often say to them is, so now we need to create a plan and that plan looks like a, a, a, not only a strategic plan for how to get your business started, but also a financial plan.
Yes. You know, how much do you need to survive off of? You need to put a side of savings for that. And then we need to put a side of savings for yours startup funding. So now of. Course there are loans and grants that you can get as well. It's not often necessary. And this is one of the things about online entrepreneurship.
That's very different to the brick and mortar sector. Mm-hmm is that there's a very low bar to entry. You don't need a whole lot of financing to get an online of an online business started. You know, it really is not. Required, but there's some investments that you're gonna have to make. And one of them, I always recommend if you're just starting out as a coach mm-hmm
So you look at the financing in terms of that, you save up a certain amount, determine what you're gonna need to live and how much, you know, I, I often tell people, try to anticipate six months. If you don't have a coach, that's gonna make the difference as well. You're hiring a coach. You're gonna have a, a shorter sort of.
um, what's the word I'm looking for? Your, your learning curve is gonna be a little shorter than the person who doesn't have a, have a coach, right? Because your, your coach is gonna guide you through every step to getting the clients that you need to then start, make bringing money in the door. But I would also say this to entrepreneurs do not expect to make a lot of money or first year, most do not.
Right. Some do. and the people who do are technically, usually people who have some kind of background in marketing and sales. These are people who are good at that stuff and can pick it up quickly and they can get clients quickly with right with the help of a coach. But the first year anticipate that you're not gonna make a lot of money.
Right. So really this is something to think about in your planning process, in terms of making the transition to entrepreneurship. Did I answer your question or did I go all over the place?
Kandidly Kristin: no, no, you answered my question. Yes ma'am you did. And then some business coaches. Yes, there are so many . Yes. Like it's like the buzz thing to be.
Now everybody's a coach, a life coach, a business coach, a coach, coach, coach. So mm-hmm what, what did you look for in the business coach that you selected and what should, but entrepreneurs look for in the business coach that they select, if they choose to
Jacqueline Long: that? That's a great question, you know, because I have to think for a moment what really, I was looking for someone that, um, of course had the business skills, but I was also looking for someone who D also had, was able to coach in terms of mindset, who can do them interchangeably, you know?
Okay. Both that's important because mindset is such a big part of, of business entrepreneurship. So I was looking for that first and foremost, and then I was looking for someone who actually, you know, had acquired a certain level of success in what she did. Right. Um, and can show proof of it. And then I, I was also looking for a.
I actually, you know, just sort of personality wise that we, you know, we, we were a match to work together, you know, that she could be tough on me, but she wasn't sadistic , you know?
Jacqueline Long: You know, but, um, that was tough was also fun. And like that really just kind of, you know, we had sort of that chemistry that we could work well together. That is extremely important. Yeah. You wanna coach that you absolutely can have open communication with. Yeah. And that you can work with. Well, Because if you are working in a six month program or a three month or a four month program, and you can't get along with your coach, that's a nightmare.
Kandidly Kristin: that's a nightmare. And you're
Jacqueline Long: paying for, you know, okay, exactly. You're paying for that nightmare. Correct.
Kandidly Kristin: so help me get some clarity because mindset coach is something that since I've started podcast thing is something that I see more. I hear more tell me exactly or. Maybe not exactly, but in terms that the average person that's gonna hear this can understand what a mind coach is and what they do for you.
so, or should
Jacqueline Long: do so a mindset coach is a person who actually will help you to work through those, those thought processes that will hold you back from achieving what it is you desire to achieve. So here are some of the things and all mindset coaches are not the same. They, we can have different specializations.
Okay. Um, They will help you to work with things like conf on confidence, if you lack confidence. So let's say that you wanna start a business, but one of the things that you're struggling with is you, you, you are, you are afraid because you're afraid to put yourself out there. Mm-hmm, , you know, you're afraid of what people would think.
you are afraid, um, that you are not good enough. Something that they call imposter syndrome. Hmm. You know, they help you to sort of work through these. Limiting beliefs, things like, oh, I'm not good enough to do that. Oh, um, I can't make that kind of money. Oh, nobody really makes that kind of money. That's not realistic.
They'll help you to work through those kind of monkey, monkey, mind thoughts. I, I call them. Okay. Uh, they help you to sort of work through fear. Lot of my clients come to me with a fear of visibility. Okay. And visibility, meaning they just don't wanna put themselves out there. They're afraid of what friends are gonna think.
Pat family does not support them. So they're afraid of what family will think. Uh, so we have to work through sort of those, um, those issues. Other things are like, Procrastination. If you're procrast, you know what you need to do, but you're procrastinating. What the heck is holding me back. I don't, what's holding me back from getting this stuff done.
And then things like motivation, the desire to do it is there, but you lack motivation. So these are all the kinds of mindset, things that interfere and, and beliefs. Limiting beliefs that we have, that we learn from the people in our lives from childhood. Okay. You know, it's not, you know, it's, it's the limiting thoughts of, uh, you know, money doesn't grow on trees.
You know, you can't make, you can never be wealthy. You can't make a lot, you can't make six or seven figures, you know? Uh, why would you spend $5,000 on a coach that's insanity. Right. You know, these kinds of things that really hold us. Back from really doing the things that can benefit us in terms of moving to the next level and stages of our lives.
You know, that sort of keeps us in this, this place of, um, ordinary and safe and comfortable. Yeah. And, um, you know, limited and live think these lives, that that are just not really what we want, but what we have settled for.
Kandidly Kristin: Got it. Got it. That was by far the best explanation of what a mind coach should do for you.
I'm glad saying that. That was awesome. Thank you so much for that. you're welcome. So tell me what's new for Jacqueline and elevate your biz. Um, oh, what's on the horizon 20, 22 and beyond.
Jacqueline Long: For 2022, I'm looking forward to publishing my first book. nice. Yes. So I'm looking forward to becoming an author later this year, um, and just sort of doing a little more.
Uh, con writing, contributing to magazines and online, um, blogs and that sort of stuff for this year. And possibly, I'm not sure if this is gonna be by the end of the year or the beginning of next year, but hosting my first virtual summit, um, kinda speakers online for 2023. I definitely want to start, uh, speaking.
I really wanna incorporate that into my business. Um, doing more public speaking and maybe even a Ted talk in the future. So nice. Yes. Lots of things on the horizons that I'm thinking about and, um, wanting to do, but definitely looking forward to publishing my first book this year. I'm so excited about that.
I am too right
Kandidly Kristin: now. Are you self-publishing. Yes, I will be mm-hmm okay, cool. Nice. And what's you gotta tell me, gimme a little, like a little, the, the jacket, the little flip part. give a little so I can, so I can
Jacqueline Long: tell you. This first book in definitely is a dedication to my business in terms of, it's sort of going to be a, a more affirmational and sort of journaling for women to kind of elevate their lives and elevate their thoughts.
It's sort of the very beginning of where you start when you're, when you want to do something that you truly desire. So it's really gonna be dedicated to. Just elevating the self and self-care mm-hmm and then I've already written the, the outline for my second book. The second book is actually going to be more practical.
It's gonna be more business, but this is gonna be more about the first book is gonna be more about really what the work, the inner work that we need to do. To get to that place of business marketing entrepreneur.

"Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience around Artificial Intelligence & Future Jobs with our Science, Technology and Maths teachers. Your presentation was not only informative but reassuring. It left us with many questions to consider – which is a good thing– including how we need to help prepare our young people for the unknown world of work in the future. Sometimes we get caught up in the content when we should equally be focusing on the skills needed. Your comment about the value of knowing how to research correctly really struck a cord... our young people do need to know how to find the correct, valid, current and relevant information they need when they need it. We're looking forward to hearing more from you in the future to help inform and shape the delivery of the STEM curriculum."
"I write on behalf of nbn co with a simple message of thanks for your keynote speaker role at the recent Unley Business Association and City of Unley Business Breakfast. The theme of "Artificial Intelligence and internet of the future" was overwhelming received with interest; though a shock to some when assessing the disruption and transitional impacts. nbn co, Council and the business community very much appreciated you volunteering your time, insights and passion. Your preparation, delivery tailored to the business audience, and your easy and engaging approach took us all on a journey that, for an early morning breakfast forum, was both entertaining and insightful. The value-added from a comprehensive understanding of digital marketing, website development and big data management was of particular value too. I'd not hesitate in seeking your services again, and would recommend you to anyone who asks – or doesn't. I look forward working with you and koolth again in the future."

Bastiaan Johan (Bas) Heijne (Nijmegen, 9 januari 1960) is een Nederlandse schrijver, vertaler en interviewer.
Levensloop
Heijne groeide op in Zwanenburg en ging naar de middelbare school in Badhoevedorp. Hij studeerde Engelse taal- en letterkunde aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam.
In 1983 debuteerde hij als schrijver met de roman Laatste woorden. Hij schreef tussen 1984 en 1990 reisverhalen voor het tijdschrift De Tijd en daarna tot en met 1992 voor HP/De Tijd. Een deel van deze verhalen werd later gebundeld in Vreemde reis.
Zijn tweede roman, Suez, verscheen in 1992. Heijne is sinds 1991 als essayist verbonden aan NRC Handelsblad, de krant waarvoor hij van 2001 tot 2018 ook iedere week een column verzorgde. Zijn essaybundel De wijde wereld werd genomineerd voor de AKO Literatuurprijs.
Hij heeft werk vertaald van Evelyn Waugh, E.M. Forster en Joseph Conrad. In 2003 heeft hij het toneelstuk Van Gogh geschreven dat werd gespeeld door ZT Hollandia. In 2005 sprak Heijne de jaarlijkse Mosse-lezing uit en ontving hij de Henriette Roland Holst-prijs voor Hollandse toestanden, een verzameling columns die hij voor NRC Handelsblad schreef. In 2008 presenteerde Heijne het televisieprogramma Zomergasten van de VPRO. In 2018 maakte Heijne de vierdelige serie Onbehagen (Human en VPRO) waarin hij onderzoekt waarom de idealen van onze beschaving steeds verder onder druk komen te staan.
Couperus
In 2013 hield Heijne de Huizingalezing De betovering van de wereld over Louis Couperus. In datzelfde jaar verscheen ook een documentaire over Couperus naar een door Heijne geschreven scenario. Eerder had hij al het essay Het gezicht van Louis Couperus (1996) gepubliceerd. In 2014 werd zijn essay Angst en schoonheid. Louis Couperus, de mystiek der zichtbare dingen bekroond met de tweejaarlijkse J. Greshoff-prijs.
P.C. Hooft-prijs
In december 2016 werd Heijne de P.C. Hooft-prijs 2017 toegekend, voor zijn beschouwend proza. De prijs is hem uitgereikt op 18 mei 2017. De jury roemt hem als een "een schrijver met een bijzondere positie als columnist en essayist, die over een enorme verscheidenheid aan actuele onderwerpen en kwesties schrijft. [...] Zijn werk geeft een vernieuwende impuls aan wat literatuur in maatschappelijke zin betekenen kan. [...] Vooral de vorm waarin hij dat doet is bijzonder: hij schrijft als een denker én denkt als een lezer."

Ieder voor zich heeft op zijn of haar eigen wijze invulling gegeven aan één gebod. Daardoor is een interessante bundel ontstaan die ondanks de zeer verschillende verhalen een thematisch hechte eenheid vormt. Uit de verhalen wordt duidelijk welke betekenis we volgens de auteurs heden ten dage aan die Bijbelse wetten moeten toekennen. De verdeling van de geboden over de verschillende auteurs staat als in een schaakbord op de omslag vermeld. Door het stemmige kleurgebruik en het enkele accent daarin, toont de bundel in één oogopslag de eenheid die gevormd wordt door de zeer verschillende samenstellende delen)

Bas Heijne vraagt zich af of er nu het historisch bewustzijn slinkt nog samenhang en binding mogelijk zijn die verder gaan dan de 'cultuur van bevestiging'.

Fouad Laroui sluit daarop aan door te wijzen op het misverstand dat een tweede generatie allochtonen specifieke behoeften zou hebben: cultuur van hun land van herkomst. Valerie Frissen roept op, zich niet klakkeloos aan de technologische ontwikkelingen te onderwerpen. Paul Schnabel wijst op de noodzaak van keuzes in de vloed van informatie.

Former San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales savors …
Former San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales savors victory
By Barry Witt | Bay Area News Group, Mercury News
June 14, 2007 at 5:19 a.m.
A day after learning a judge had tossed out corruption charges against him, former San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales said Wednesday that he was "ecstatic" but "not surprised" by the decision.
"I felt all along this would be resolved in a positive way for me and my family," Gonzales said in a telephone interview. "The only question was when."
In dismissing seven felony counts against Gonzales, his former budget aide Joe Guerra and garbage hauler Norcal Waste Systems, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge John Herlihy found prosecutors misstated the law when they asked a grand jury last June to issue the charges.
Among the counts, Gonzales had faced an allegation of accepting a bribe, which his attorney had described as "the worst accusation one can bring against someone in public life." The charge itself was unusual – and ultimately insupportable, according to the judge – because there was no evidence that Gonzales received a direct benefit from a deal he brokered between the waste hauler and union officials.
The former mayor also was accused of falsifying records, misappropriating public funds and conspiring with Norcal in 2000 to cheat and defraud the public by agreeing to support an $11.25 million payment to the company above its initial bid.
Unprecedented censure
The payment, ultimately approved by the city council in 2004, reimbursed Norcal for increased labor costs incurred after its recycling subcontractor agreed to a higher-cost contract with the Teamsters union instead of one it had planned to sign with the Longshoremen's union. Prosecutors argued that the mayor pushed for the subcontractor to negotiate with the Teamsters in order to win political favor with the union.
Before the indictment, Gonzales was censured by the city council for failing to disclose his actions, and Gonzales issued a public apology. He refused calls to resign rather than serve the final six months of his two terms as mayor.
Gonzales, 56, said Wednesday that despite the indictment's impact on his reputation, he believed Herlihy's conclusion "restored my family name."
"It's been a difficult year, obviously," he said. "I said at the end of my term that it was a huge disappointment to have 24 years of elected experience end with this cloud over me. I'm just glad it's resolved and I can get on with the next chapter of my life."
Since leaving office at the end of last year, the onetime Hewlett-Packard employee said he's been building two businesses: Presencia Technology LLC, a value-added reseller of technology from companies such as Cisco Systems and Symantec; and Presencia LLC, a partnership with his wife that Gonzales said conducts marketing for small businesses. He declined to name any of the second company's clients.
The technology business, which he runs from Fremont with partner Jim Peifer, serves as a middleman, finding customers for the software companies while serving as consultants to the buyers.
Costly defense
Gonzales declined to say how much his legal defense cost. He hired prominent defense attorney Allen Ruby, whose efforts the former mayor praised.
"Obviously this case cost a lot of money and has cost me and my family a lot of money," Gonzales said.
Gonzales said that although he "took a lot of hits to the chin over the last year and a lot of stabs to the chest," he was proud of his ability to "stay above all that" and carry himself with distinction.
He said most people he met on city streets and in local shops and restaurants were sympathetic to him. "They would say, `I've not always agreed with you, brother, but I just feel this whole process is nothing but politics and not a good use of the judicial system.'"
District Attorney Dolores Carr has not decided yet whether to attempt to revive the case, either by pursuing an appeal of Herlihy's ruling or by convening a new grand jury. Carr took office in January and was not involved in filing the initial charges, which were approved by former District Attorney George Kennedy. Deputy District Attorney Julius Finkelstein investigated the case and argued it before the grand jury.
Asked for his thoughts on the prosecution, Gonzales said: "I'm going to reserve my comments regarding Mr. Finkelstein until a later date. I'm very happy with this decision, and I'm celebrating the victory."

Waitrose's farm to be testbed for regenerative practices
11 November, 2021 | by Natalie Fresen
Waitrose's farm at the Leckford Estate has been unveiled as a testbed for future agricultural innovation and regenerative farming practices.
The Hampshire estate will be trialling new farming innovations over the next 15 years, helping the retailer achieve its aim of being net zero by 2035.
The supermarket chain said insight from this work would be shared with its farming network to ensure that suppliers benefitted from the findings.
The plan will see Waitrose take advantage of its mixed arable and livestock farming system at Leckford. As well as using beef cattle to fertilise the soil, new methods will promote topsoil regeneration, improve water efficiency, and support bio-sequestration. An end goal for Waitrose is to strengthen the health of soils, and increase biodiversity throughout the natural habitats that its farms co-exist with.
As well as maintaining wildflower plots to encourage pollinators, herbal leys will be introduced which will be left for three and a half years, grazed by cattle as part of its arable rotation. This will include grasses, legumes and herbs such as red clover, which will help sequester carbon and add nutrients to the soil to create resilient pasture, the retailer said.
James Bailey, executive director of Waitrose, said: "We will use our farmland at Leckford and the full weight of our resources to facilitate radical change across our industry.
"Specifically, we will use a combination of research and practical application to identify the best farming techniques to help us manage this land in a way that is kinder to the environment."
Leckford will also be the site of a '70 trees for the Jubilee' avenues project under the Queen's Green Canopy. The trees will help provide cover for beef cattle, provide homes for wildlife, protect soils and add to the carbon-capture capability of the estate.
Waitrose has committed over 40% of the farmland to nature conservation and turn any areas with unsuitable topography into natural spots to increase biodiversity.
Mr Bailey added: "Whether it's planting trees to promote biodiversity, or reducing water usage to protect resources or using regenerative soil practices that help sequester carbon, our focus will be on biology rather than chemistry."
Defra Secretary George Eustice welcomed the retailer's plan: "It is good to see Waitrose commit to innovative farming practices which will contribute to their net zero ambitions.
"Last year, the government set out how we will transform the way we support and incentivise farmers to farm more sustainably, create space for nature and enhance animal welfare.
"These incentives will provide a powerful vehicle for achieving the goals of our 25 Year Environment Plan and our commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050."

I reviewed Mark Carrigan's book Social Media for Academics. Unlike the digital marketing guru types who exaggerate the wonders of the app du jour, the University of Warwick sociology prof has a pragmatic approach. He suggests you think long and hard about what you're hoping to get out of social media before wasting time on it.
His well-researched book is treasure trove of books and articles that will help SM novices understand why and how to develop an online presence. Or skip it. | {

During the holiday season, the "I Have A Dream" Foundation – Los Angeles (IHADLA) strives to spread holiday cheer among its students and their communities. We hold several holiday events during which our Dreamers celebrate and receive gifts, but during this time we also seek to show our Dreamers the power of giving back through several community service activities. One such activity, which has become a yearly tradition for IHADLA, is the Dreamer Volunteer Day. This year, our high school Dreamers continued the Volunteer Day tradition by spreading holiday joy during a community service trip to the Westchester Villa Assisted Living Home in Inglewood.
The Inglewood Dreamers have been visiting the Westchester Villa Assisted Living Home for the past four years. Last year, they brought holiday cheer to the residents by singing holiday carols with them; this year, they helped the residents create holiday decorations to make the Villas look cheerful and festive. Using arts and crafts supplies and glue, the Dreamers and residents created various fun decorations, including red holiday stockings and ribbons. Of course, there was also plenty of time for the Dreamers and residents to converse and get to know each other over holiday cookies and refreshments.
In addition to helping the residents create decorations, the Dreamers also collaborated to decorate the Westchester Villa Christmas tree. All the visiting Dreamers helped place glass ornaments on the Villa's tree. When the Dreamers finished, the tree was covered in sparkling silver, gold, and red ornaments and twinkling white lights for the Westchester Villa residents to enjoy.
The evening's activities included music performed by one of our Inglewood Dreamers. Kenneth Brown, a Dreamer who hopes to be a musician in the future, performed music with his trumpet for the residents and the other Dreamers as they created their decorations and decorated the tree. Kenneth's music filled the halls of the Villas and brought even more holiday cheer to the event.
Both the Dreamers and the residents had a great time getting to know each other, working on their arts and crafts projects, and sharing the spirit of togetherness of the holiday season. We hope that next year's Christmas trip will be just as fun for everyone involved!
If you would like to help us continue to offer holistic education programs and activities for our Dreamers, please visit our How You Can Help page by clicking the graphic below or navigating to the How You Can Help tab on our website. You can get involved with IHADLA in many ways, such as by donating, volunteering, mentoring, or being a Dream Speaker for our students.
Hello I would like to volunteer but with my 7 year old son and would like to know if that would be allowed.
Thank you so much Gladys! We have contacted you by email. | {

Everyone's tweeting and pinning—now it's time for control
Jamie Izaks
Nov 1, 2012 Updated Oct 2, 2020
The franchising community "gets it" when it comes to social media, five years after this windstorm blew away so many of our traditional marketing methodologies.
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are old hat, when just a handful of years ago they didn't exist. Pinterest and Instagram are the rage, with more social media tools sure to go mainstream. The industry is immersed in tweeting, posting, pinning and all kinds of social-sharing strategies.
My belief turned to certainty this fall at an annual conference, when I presented on social media to a packed room of franchisees who are part of a business services franchise—not your traditional social media-savvy crowd. During the interactive discussion, a fiery group of franchisees debated appropriate postings, the best people to follow, the right way to engage and more. I loved the back-and-forth banter, and it was meaningful because a year prior such conversations were happening only between a mighty few, not the masses.
Across the board, we're seeing business-to-consumer and business-to-business brands alike putting to use what just the other day seemed to be the unknown and uncomfortable. Social media has made it in franchising.
However, with wider acceptance comes a new set of challenges.
Freedom multiplied, infinitely
Inherent in franchising is the fact that franchisors relinquish a certain amount of brand control. Franchisees often put their own local market spin on the brand, all of which is monitored and often mitigated with field representatives, ongoing training and support center visits.
For franchises that permit hometown pages — and most do — social media takes that local market freedom and multiplies it infinitely. It's inexpensive, it's instant and there are countless channels to broadcast your message. It also requires regular attention—let a few days pass and it turns into a few weeks and, before you know it, months of inactivity.
Unquestionably, social media opens the door for errors in judgment. Just take a few minutes to peruse through Facebook and Twitter. You'll find some of the biggest franchise brands on earth being misrepresented on local pages in a variety of ways.
To what degree should franchisors manage these risks? Here are five franchise-friendly solutions for franchisors to ponder as ways to guide, instruct and control (if necessary) a more confident collection of social media users in their franchise system.
A built-in network
1. Share your concerns. Collaboration is a critical component of the franchisee-franchisor relationship. In fact, when collaboration works the right way, franchises have a built-in network to tap into for best practices in operations, finances, human resources and more. The same holds true for social media.
With this network at your disposal, why not have a series of town hall-style discussions or webinars, where franchisor and franchisee openly discuss, share and question approaches to social media. Collaboration hits at the heart of social media. Bring it offline occasionally and you'll discover the suggestions and advice given to franchisees regarding social media management will be absorbed and enacted in the spirit of togetherness.
Plus, you can help each other with just a few clicks of the mouse and keystrokes. So, go ahead and "Like," "Follow" and "Connect" with all in your system and immediately your message can be multiplied.
2. Be proactive with creative ideas. One way for franchisors to guide and gain appropriate controls is to provide creative engagement ideas for franchisees. I would advise against populating pages for franchisees, as that seems a bit insincere on a medium where originality is applauded, but weekly customizable ideas shared through simple spreadsheets can be very helpful.
Beyond ideas for standard day-to-day engagement, regular education or advice on how to manage social media can prove to be helpful for franchisees. For example, you can provide a weekly tip with ideas such as how to win back a customer who has filed a complaint on a review blog or through a Tweet.
Likewise, proactive franchisors can create systemwide campaigns. Blogs are easy to create and roll out across a franchise brand in support of a specific promotional push. Plus, blogs foster ways to include informational posts combined with anecdotal experiences related to your client/consumer base. Get your system behind a blog by making it easy for them to customize entries and respond to brand loyalists engaging on the local site—it becomes a cathartic experience for all involved.
3. Take small bites. Making a commitment to support your franchisees' social media presence doesn't mean advising them to tackle all of the channels available. Start slow. Social media is a marathon and you want your franchisees to be efficient and effective with their engagement.
For instance, business-to-business brands may want to select LinkedIn as the initial path to head down with franchisees. It's where their professional clients are participating in social media. Make the most of the social media channel where your customers are engaged. Too often, franchisees tackle more than they can handle and the social media task becomes more of a hassle than a help.
It's a full-time job
4. Keep a watchful eye. Franchisors choosing to be proactive with social media should realize it is a full-time job, not just another responsibility for the marketing department. The planning and processes require the talents and attention of a full-time employee.
One of the main duties of this full-time employee ought to be monitoring social media to ensure the business/brand is represented in the best light. The monitoring should cover both franchisee use as well as client/consumer commentary. There are several online applications to subscribe to for monitoring. Making this a priority at the franchisor level is another integral part of managing social media risks.
5. Rapid response is a must. With the monitoring in place, it becomes easier to squelch any negative commentary on social media sites. Alerts can be set and actions should be taken quickly. You should have a standard procedure in place to respond and alleviate any issues customers present. This plan should be shared as policy with all franchisees.
Sincerity in response occurs when this action is taken at the local level, if that is where the customer issue has arisen. However, franchisors should not hold back from addressing the issue if it remains on social media pages unaddressed for several hours. An internal communication plan should include alerting franchisees to issues noticed on social media sites if they go unnoticed.
We in franchising have embraced the use of social media. Now, it's time to control it, to put in place measures to avoid the blunders that break down brand value, and implement the ideas that build it up.

Q: How to stop the CountDownTimer? where should I edit this code, that i can stop the CountDown ?
How to delete the old one before I start the next new CountDown ?
public void MyCounter1(){
new CountDownTimer(60000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
txt_timer.setText("Left time : " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
txt_timer.setText("done");
}
}.start();
}
A: here is code:
CountDownTimer timer= null;
public void MyCounter1(){
timer =new CountDownTimer(60000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
txt_timer.setText("Left time : " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
txt_timer.setText("done");
}
};
timer.start();
}
// To stop & start new timer check not null of timer instance first then cancel existing timer & start new one
if(timer != null){
timer.cancel();
MyCounter1();
}
also if you want to cancel first instance and start new one you can add above lines in onFinish method which will be get called when timer finish his time.
check this:
CountDownTimer timer= null;
public void MyCounter1(){
timer =new CountDownTimer(60000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
txt_timer.setText("Left time : " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
txt_timer.setText("done");
if(timer != null){
timer.cancel();
MyCounter1();
}
}
};
timer.start();
}
A: I did these 2 lines. I works at the time fine:
public void MyCounter1(){
CountDownTimer countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(60000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
if(my_condition=1){ //1- just make my_condition<>1 to stop the counter
txt_timer.setText("Left time : " + millisUntilFinished / 1000); }
}
public void onFinish() {
countDownTimer.cacel(); // 2- delete old one
txt_timer.setText("done");
}
}.start();
}
A: private int time = 10; //example 10 min.
CountDownTimer(60000 * time, 1000)
@Override
public void onFinish() {
txt_timer.setText("done");
cancel();
time = 0;

Let us see the steps on how to achieve this task in our Windows Phone application development. Open Visual Studio 2012 IDE and create a new Windows Phone project with a valid project name as shown in the screen below.
Clicking on OK will create the project and the solution with the list of default files and folders that are required to run the application. It will take some time to create these files based on your system configuration, so once everything is ready we can see the Visual Studio IDE with the project as shown in the screen below.
Now add some control to trigger the Map Direction task and to show the direction, basically we will add a button alone to trigger the task. The task will open the default Map application and take the input point (Start and End) points and show the direction directly on the maps.
Now in the button click event write the below code which creates an instance of the MapDirection task and assign the end point for the direction required to be shown in the Map application as shown in the code below.
Now we are done with the code, just run the application by pressing F5 directly from the keyboard or we can use the Build and execute the project option from the tool bar to run the application. Once the Build is successful we can see the Windows Phone emulator with the application and the expected outputs as shown in the screen below.

An innovative project such as iMakler.de requires an innovative and flexible CMS software in order to control one's own internet portal. With the help of TYPO3 these requirements were met perfectly. The emphasis of the TYPO3 project was the design of a simple, user-friendly login and management process for the range of real estate in the internet portal.
The new website was completely implemented on the basis of TYPO3 by developers of Connecta AG. Thus, the employees at Stiftung Mercator are always able to update their internet presence.
The website focuses on an easily accessible navigation, an appealing visual language and a new media library which offers short films about chosen projects.
On the basis of TYPO3 an Intranet was developed at BKM according to the specifications of different operating departments.
Connecta AG completely implemented the website of the TV channel WDR 3 with the Content Management System TYPO3.
TYPO3 developers at Connecta AG developed the website of Lustiges Taschenbuch (LTB) which among other things was arranged with multiple community features.
The website of Phytec Messtechnik GmbH was completely implemented with the Content Management System TYPO3 by Connecta AG.
The website of Museumsverband Rheinland-Pfalz was completely implemented with the Content Management System TYPO3 by Connecta AG.
The website of the Institute für Historical Geography at the University of Mainz was realized on the basis of TYPO3. | {

We've got some new UI going. Players can now store and sort through the terrariums they've made and place them inside the greenhouse. It makes it a lot easier to manage which ones you have. You'll be able to name them soon and give them a short poetic description.
The art is really starting to come together! Our artists have been hard at work the last few months and the effort is really showing through now that we've had time to implement them. It's really starting to shape up.
A little preview of the desert biome, more coming soon.
For the social savvy followers, you might have already seen some of these images. For you, we have something particular in the works for next devlog that you'll definitely want to stick around for. But as always, you'll get more frequent updates on our socials: Twitter, Instagram and Facebook too.
Fear the god who endeavors in silence.
We're real busy! Have been, and likely will be for the next couple of weeks! But were making some big progress towards a stable playable version of our game! New models, cooler artsytle, rotations that don't cause the summoning of Cthulhu. You know, the works.
In other news, we had the lovely Adriaan de Jong drop by the office to talk with us and the teams here at the Indietopia. You might know him from his work at the Game Oven on Bounden, Fingle and most recently his work on Hidden Folks! We had a very eye opening talk about indie marketing, how he managed the logistics of making Hidden Folks, and our game. It was a great time and we're super grateful that he took the time to meet us.
As always we'd love to hear you on socials! There's Twitter, thats a good one, oh and Facebook of course. If you're feeling experimental we have an instagram too! See you next devlog!
We must learn from history, or else we are doomed to never see the wonderful art they have hidden away.
We know now from the invaluable work of Dr. Ji Xiang Paterson et al. that there was a booming digital culture during the industrial age between 1800-2100. Which seems to have been a very tumultuous time as it is also known for the homo-extinction, so named for the egregious wide spread damage our species had on the planet. Even cursory glances at the evolving trends of this time reveal how impactful the environmental situation had on the art and culture of the people.
Dr. Patersons trove of lost videos, applications and interactive media paints a very interesting shifting picture of major attitudes at the time. Three distinct pictures seem to present themselves when sifting through the media….
… We unfortunately were unable to gather more than a name; Spaghetti Games of whom we assume were the people behind….
The gods of Spaghetti's pantheon would like you to think they were masters alone of the universe. Alas they are not the only pantheon. Neither the first nor the last in any regard. Pantheons have often fought for control over their universes, and few collaborate. Spaghetti's gods in a rash of good luck have found fast friends in a collection of new pantheons to the universe... Despite their dark ways.
Welcome back everyone to another wonder devlog. As you know we were lucky enough to get the chance to work with the indietopia accelerator to help us in our debut game TerraGardens! What you might not have known is that we aren't the only ones working with them, and there are some really cool games being built around us (it's quite inspiring). So today I'd like to bring to your attention, some cool games and the people behind them.
Fringe Planet! A eldritch horror inspired community survival game on a frosty isolated floating world surround by the void. Do your best to keep 6 disparate survivors from falling to the madness and eventually learn the dark truth of their situation? Despite the eldritch tone of the game it's filled with a lot of fun stemming from the tension of just surviving a little longer. Nic the developer from Sigil Initivative ( a solo dev! which is super impressive), is super cool and has a really fun personality if you ever get the chance to meet him. He posts on twitter often on his own handle @Beebug_Nic about development among other things, but for official posts check out @FringePlanet.
Eldritch horrors are the new black!
We're also working at Indietopia with the guys from Tweetal studios; Lars and Tobias! Two crazy Dutch guys working on a similarly crazy game called Crimson Resonance. A concept they hacked together for Ludum Dare 40, then decided to build into a full game with the help from Indietopia. It's a dark atmospheric game with amazing visual and sound design. The game is quick and intense so if you like adrenaline pumping immersive games you really should play it! They have the Ludum Dare 40 demo on itch.io if you'd like a taste of whats to come. You can follow them on their escapades on twitter at @StudiosTweetal.
I hope you all give them a follow, they're cool people and with cool games. So from us at Spaghetti Games I hope you all have a wonderful week, and we'll see you again for next weeks devlog. As always you can find us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!
Ah wonders of managing a project with many important pieces with a lot of people who all work a bit differently and have free will. Not to mention the mess it makes on your whiteboard that is finally organized and isn't a mess of sticky notes that no one can read.
For as long as humans have tried to get things done with more than one person there has been project management tools and practices. Unfortunately, thanks to a number of compounding issues we will never know what or if they used any particular processes. The pyramids of Giza, great wall of China. We may never know what amazing technology they utilized to breathtaking effect. What we do know is that they had almost no time frame, as much money as the emperors who commissioned them had, and unlimited, unpaid slave workers to do it for them. Perhaps it's not so bad that we don't use their methods anymore.
So lets say you have a team of 2 – a large number of people; and you'd like to get something done. If you've done any googling about project management then you've probably come across a few things that might sound familiar. There are different ways to handle projects, and a lot of different software and tools for doing it online. Among the more popular methodologies these days are Kanban, Agile and Scrum in software dev. Waterfall and Critical Path Method lend themselves to more physical endeavors like making a real thing. Then there's the classic methodology of 'just get things done' which is quite popular.
If the project isn't too complicated, say organize a trip to the local zoo for your kid and his friends then the waterfall method will do you just fine. It essentially works by sequencing everything that needs to be done one after each other. A simple checklist will do wonders.
If the project is much larger and you find yourself in charge of several people who may or may not want to work, then you'll need something with a lot more features. Lets say you want to make an app that records audio and lets you edit it and send it off anywhere. It's going to be a complicated affair and might take years if you let things take a natural pace. In that case the Agile methodology (and its many faces) is the go to.
Agile: The mother bear of management methodologies. Sets out four core values to follow.
Scrum: is a simple but strong tool for small teams. The most popular of the agile frameworks. Focuses on quick iterative development cycles, and a lot of sticky notes.
Kanban: Also features sticky notes, but is more focused on a project that needs a steady output of features / toasters. Use this if you know you're going to be making a lot of the same thing over a period of time like beer or hot sauce.
Both KanBan and Scrum work with a concept called sprints. Essentially a block of time, either one or two weeks long where you schedule as many tasks as you think you can manage to finish. And another key feature is the 'scrum board' where you put all of the vague, confusing sticky notes.
You have a good point strawman, but I have a better solution.
which you might look at and have no idea where to start. So I'm here to list the tools we at Spaghetti games have used and our experience with them. Maybe you'll try one of them, cause the best part is their "largely" free.
1 Trello: A popular tool and quite rightly so. Free out the box with a lot of features for a simple scrum board. It's a lot of moving rectangles from one list to another but they all are. We used this one for quite a while and it's a useful tool, but it relies of people being honest about logging on and moving tasks. Good for small teams and projects.
2 Slack: A pretty cool piece of software all things considered. This is the tool for the team that isn't tied to discord or skype for communication. But that's what it is really, a communication tool, it won't do fancy scrum boards with visualizations of how fast you've gotten things done. This is for larger teams that don't all have Pictochat.
3 Clickup: What we're currently using at Spaghetti Games. It can be a lot more complicated than trello and slack but it offers a lot of really useful tools and features for free. The really advanced tools are premium, but unless you're a huge team and need gantt and burn down charts for optimization the free version has all you need. It's highly customizable, with several levels for amazing hierarchy organizing. Best used by teams larger than 3 with need for accountability tools, or anyone who really likes to nitty gritty plan it all out.
If you can work together in person though, a nice whiteboard, sticky notes and trust is a very potent project management technology.
I hope you've found this to be useful in someway shape or form. Organizing large endeavors is always quite intimidating, but if you're familiar with a good tool and methodology it becomes just about doing the next little thing on the list. If you want to ask me about any of this you can find me on Twitter @GameSpaghetti or @blaaaaanky, Instagram and Facebook too! | {

Video on impatient customers. In a world where a 5 second wait for a web page to open, a 15 second wait for the phone to be answered, or a 3 minute wait to be served in a shop, can seem like an eternity. Customer perception of time and urgency is changing and retailers need to adjust.
Why every second counts in retail - and how companies lose customers faster than they realise. Vital trends for the future of retailing from Futurist keynote speaker Patrick Dixon. Marketing and selling to customers should be fast, easy, convenient and satisfying. Keep your customers happy, listen to them, keep close to how they are really thinking about your products and services. In a time-poor world, customers are increasingly fed up with companies that waste time, make them wait, keep them on hold, make them stand in line. Premium customers expect instant service, rapid help, total commitment, expert advice and 100% delivery on your promises. | {

Connectivity is the key issue in large public venues and events. Providing Internet to a large number of users requires intensive network densification- an operation consisting in increasing the number of access points in order to provide a high density of users with an Internet connection. However, extensive cabling and the civil engineering densification operations require make large-scale deployment prohibitively expensive. Densification itself does not solve large public venues' connectivity challenges. A large number of connected users making simultaneous Internet requests to reach information stored in distant servers creates bottlenecks in the network leading to Internet saturation.
Green Communications created the Participatory Internet (Green PI), a new generation of densification solution for Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and beyond networks to solve these challenges.
Green PI's innovative infrastructure replaces network cabling by wireless Device-to-Device connections. Free of cabling and civil engineering constraints, one can deploy as many access points as necessary to answer the connectivity demand.
Green Communications offers the possibility to deploy the infrastructure using participants. In that case, a subset of people holds a Wearable YOI – Green Communications tinny access point running on battery. YOI connect automatically with each other to create a large-scale wireless Internet network.
Once a Participatory Internet is on, users access to a local portal showing a large panel of applications and services.
The local portal is hosted directly in the network's access points, close to the end user instead of using distant servers. The use of such edge networking technologies instead of central cloud creates shortcuts in the information path and avoids Internet saturation. Navigating on the local portal is therefore fast and does not use the Internet connection.
Green PI's local apps and services include, but are not limited to: Live video, streaming, chat, web, network view and localization, local cloud, etc. One can also add its own local content and services according the chosen storage capacity.
Participatory Internet uses less energy than traditional Infrastructures. 1) Green Communications minimized the energy consumption of the access points. 2) The local portal shortens the distance between the end user and the information lowering the energy spent to reach the information. 3) The Start&Stop (SaS℗) functionality turns on and off routers automatically according to the needs of the network providing an effective way to save energy.
Green PI optimizes the use of the Internet bandwidth by hosting vicinity information close to the end user instead of using distant servers.
Green PI's wireless properties allow the deployment of enough access points to answer the connectivity demand.
Green PI replaces network cabling by wireless Device-to-Device connections making intensive densification affordable. | {

From industrial scenes to glamorous cruise shots, location scouts know Port Everglades makes an intriguing backdrop for movies, commercials, fashion pages and other commercial film ventures. We work closely with our partners at the Broward County Office of Film & Entertainment to ensure your blockbuster is a hit.
Step Three: Your request is then forwarded to Port Operations, Port Security, Broward Sheriff's Office, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. If there are any concerns, we will contact you to work out the details.
Step Four: Everyone on the crew will need temporary visitor ID badges that must be visible at all times. To obtain a badge, we will need information from each of the talent and crew members so the Broward Sheriff's Office can conduct a background check in advance. Please provide this information at least two days in advance.
These are basic guidelines for commercial filmings at Port Everglades. For more information, please contact Port Everglades Corporate & Community Relations at 954-468-0183 or 954-468-3508. | {

I was lucky enough to get a voucher from www.makeuponline.co.nz from my sister for my birthday and one of the things I purchased with that voucher was the Creme de la Creme eyeshadow palette from Sauce Box.
Firstly, can I say – the pans are HUGE! Like 4 grams huge! To give you a comparison, the pans in my Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay are 1.3 grams – so more than twice the size. Which is cool – because based on how much I've used them thus far, I'm pretty sure they're gonna need to be big!
Thirdly – swatches. Pictured below are my highly unprofessional swatches. From left to right: Black Widow, Secrecy, Rain, Future, Inception, Sea Shell.
Sorry – Sea Shell disappeared a bit – but trust me, it's real pretty.
Fourth – now I am NO beauty blogger, nor am I a makeup artist (and clearly from the photo, no photographer either!) but I have really been enjoying using this palette. This is how I've been using it: primer on the lids and then I use a really light base of whatever blusher I used (I think that might be a bit random, but that's what I do!) on the lid itself I use Rain, then I blend a little bit of Sea Shell out across the rest of my eye; then I blend Inception in the crease to give a bit of depth and then Rain again in the inner corners.
These shadows apply really smoothly and last well without creasing. I've heard other people talk about them being "buttery" – I kinda get that, but it's not something I would have come up with myself! The only complaint I've heard about this palette is that it doesn't have any matte colours. I'm not going to jump on that bandwagon personally though, 'cos as I mentioned before, I have the Naked 3 palette and that has some gorgeous matte colours, so I'm all good!
My pick of the colours? It would have to go to Sea Shell. It's purrrrrty and soft with just a hint of pink/apricot and it's a wee bit sparkly too, and Mumpty does like that.
So that is my non-beauty-blogger, non-professional review of the Creme de la Creme eyeshadow palette by Sauce Box. In short – buy it if you see it – it's really pretty and excellent value for money (I got mine on sale for $NZ39) Any actual makeup artists who want to come and put it on me properly – feel free – my lids are yours!
Coming to MumptyStyle soon: non-professional reviews on L'oreal Serioxyl hair growth system and The Balm Manizer Sisters palette.

ACCC calls for banks to name check transfers to cut fraud
Tom BurtonGovernment editor
Jul 12, 2022 – 5.02pm
Banks are being pressured to ensure money transferred online arrives in the correct account by confirming the name of the intended recipient, a move the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says will reduce the $420 million worth of frauds that occur each year.
In its latest scam report, the ACCC said banks and financial firms were in a unique position to identify fraud risk and invest ways to mitigate risks by adopting what is known in the UK as "confirmation of payee".
Confirmation of an account's name before a transfer has significantly reduced scams in the UK and Netherlands, says ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard. Michael Quelch
"The ACCC appreciates that the finance sector is increasing its effort to combat scams but is of the view that more is required to increase the effectiveness of scams prevention," the report said.
But banks in Australia are resisting any mandatory requirement to check names, preferring for customers to instead use the Reserve Bank's new PayID technology to make bank transfers.
"Payments made to a PayID give the user the ability to see the name of the account holder before they transfer their funds," Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh said.
"Australian banks are working hard to protect customers against the growing threat of scams and encouraging an increased use of PayID is an important part of this work."
Ms Bligh said there are more than 11 million PayIDs registered in Australia, but this number could rise further.
The banks are expected to promote the benefits of the PayID system through a public awareness campaign in the coming weeks.
Ms Bligh said the industry had spent around $19 billion on IT systems to build resilience including against scams.
The ACCC report said scam victims were losing larger amounts of money "with devastating consequence often to those who can least afford it."
"Just one example of a change that would have an impact, especially on payment redirection scams where over $220 million was lost in 2021, is introduction of confirmation of payees (CoP) by banks," ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard said.
"There is, sadly, no case to relax our efforts as we are in the equivalent of an arms race with scammers constantly finding new ways to get around disruption efforts."
The regime adopted by the big six UK banks has led to a 35 per cent drop in mistaken or fraudulent payments. The scheme is now being extended to almost all payment participants.
The confirmation of payee tool checks the name of the payee's account against the details given by the payer.
The ACCC noted the Dutch banks had introduced a name check service in 2017 which led to an 81 per cent drop in reported fraud and scams.
"As banks move towards more real-time payments, there is a greater need for real-time solutions that can identify and halt scam transactions via bank transfers," the ACCC said.
The push by regulators for industry to take a more active role in stemming the burgeoning levels of scams comes as the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) endorsed an industry code aimed at ensuring a more universal industry response to identifying and blocking SMS scams.
"The new code framework, written by industry, builds on the success of the original code, which focused on scams phone calls and has resulted in more than 600 million scam attempts on Australians being blocked," Communications Alliance CEO John Stanton said.
Mr Stanton said SMS scams had grown, in part because scam calls have become a more difficult channel for criminals.
"These new code rules require consistent and rigorous action across the industry, to monitor, identify, trace and block scam SMS and to report the results to the regulator."
"We expect to see SMS scams reduce as industry step up to do more to protect their customers," ACMA chair Nerida O'Loughlin said.
Ms Rickard said only a third of scams are reported and estimated the combined loss to scams was well more than $2 billion a year.
Scamwatch data shows that most scam transactions were undertaken via bank transfer.
"The primary type of fraud this [name matching] would prevent is 'business email compromise' also known as 'invoice fraud'," the ACCC said in its submission to the ASIC review of the payments code.
The ACCC said the most damaging form of this scam involves fraudsters altering the payment account – either directly through a compromised IT system, or through deception by requesting the payer use a different account – of a legitimate business expense to an account created by them.
In 2019, Australians lost more than $132 million to this type of fraud.
The ACCC said name matching would also provide limited protection for consumers from other types of fraud such as romance scams or online shopping scams where scammers are impersonating a specific individual such as a puppy breeder.
"The ACCC is aware that 'Name matching' or 'confirmation of payee' has been successfully implemented in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands through their respective equivalents of the 'PayID' system.
"However, in order for 'name matching on bank transfers' to be effectively implemented in Australia there would need to be an 'overlay' of the name checking functionality onto the traditional banking system.
The requirement has been applauded by some UK banks.
"CoP has been a game changing innovation in the battle against fraud and scams in the UK … not only will this detect fraudulent and misdirected payments, but CoP is also proven to reduce operating costs and improve the digital journey for customers," UK NatWest Group said.
The ACCC said all banks, payment platforms and financial institutions should have dedicated teams to investigate potential scam and fraud transactions.
"They should also invest in scams awareness activities for staff and customers. This is important as once a person has sent money to a scammer it is difficult to recover the funds."
The push to have the banks name check transfers comes as the banks are reporting large spikes in fraudulent activity.
The ANZ reported a 47 per cent increase in scam losses with remote access and investment scams driving the increases, a consistent trend across the banks.
Macquarie Bank reported double the cases of investment scams and the value of attempts was five times more than the previous year.
Suncorp reported about 100 scam cases per month on average, and highlighted a 50 per cent increase in monthly cases of remote access scams and the movement of these scams to devices like phones and tablets.

There are many verses which show "Jesus' Limitations" like human we have limitations. Naturally, God doesn't need food, thirst, to pray, to cry, wearied, but Jesus had. It doesn't mean that Jesus is not God. Jesus is "God Incarnation". Jesus had to obey that humanistic nature. Jesus is God but He can't escape from the human nature. Jesus has same power, worship, and glory as YHWH. It was not necessitate becoming a man, but it was for human. Because of human understanding, God incarnated and became human.
And because of this human nature other religions' scholars claim that Jesus is not God.
He can't do miracles except some of.
Jesus could not heal that man in first attempt but he had to try again.
Increased in wisdom, he had not sufficient wisdom that's why he needed to grow up.
Jesus learned something new that proves that he did not know everything before that. God does not need to learn anything, because he has all the knowledge. Jesus learned, so Jesus is not God.
He did not know that the tree had no fruit. He did not know its not the season to expect figs on trees.
He did not know who touched him.
As Christians we believe that Jesus came to earth as human being, does it mean that Jesus left his divinity? John 1:1 says the Word was God.
Jesus could not do miracles in Nazareth in the sense, Jesus would not do. Jesus did miracle by laying his hand on sick people and heals them. Wasn't this miracle? In next verse "And he was amazed at their lack of faith." and that's why he would not do miracle.
He became like us with mere human nature. Then how can people believe that He is God? He was just like us and He had limitations as a human, like we have. If He doesn't have limitations how can He be one of us?
Like a human being, He was born; He developed in wisdom and age, He was tempted. Jesus followed every terms of human nature but He never committed sin. He died for our sin and rose up on third day. And ascended to the heaven, and He will come again. Jesus was not a specter of humanity, but He was human with human nature and limitations.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross!
Jesus never said "I am God or Worship me". Because Jesus did not come to earth to prove his divinity. He came as a human. So he himself didn't claim that he is God. Jesus has proved his Divinity by his act, nature, words, and miracles.
The scriptures stand profuse authentication that Jesus Christ is God. But some other religions believe Jesus is no more than a prophet or creation of God, like me and you. They don't believe that God can be a man. And because Jesus was human, they claim that he is not God. Because a man can not be a God. But the thing is man cannot be a God, it's True. But God can be a man, its fact.
There are many disagreements for Jesus' Divinity because he had flash and blood. Definitely Jesus was a man but he was also divine. Some cults and other religions don't believe on Jesus' Divine nature. Why? Because he was a man, he lived like a man, he grew like a man, and he died like a man. It was the purpose of God to be a man. That's why Jesus became a man and he became like us and he had limitations of human nature. In the Bible, there are 77 times Jesus called "Son of man".
The Bible clearly says that Word became flash and experienced flash and blood. And the Bible refers in John 1:1, The Word was God and the Word corresponds to Jesus Christ.
Anyone who do not believe in Jesus Christ, he is devil spirit. Jesus Christ came as a human for the ransom of human being. We have salvation in the name of Jesus, we can save our life because of Jesus, accept Jesus Christ and get eternal life.
Jesus came to the earth to give his life for our salvation. And this was the reason he chose a very nature of human and gave his life for the ransom of sins. Voluntary, he gave up his power and position and he became one of us.
He became like His brethren, subject to all the physical, mental, and moral conditions of existence essential to human nature.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death -- even death on a cross!
• He born as a human with the same flash and blood.
• As a human, Jesus grew physically.
Jesus had flash and bones.
• Jesus' veins contained blood.
• Jesus hungered, thirsted, weary, slept, prayed, and died.
• Jesus felt compassion for others.
• Jesus was tempted, he struggled in prayer.
• Jesus was called son of man even after his ascension.
• Jesus Christ had human body after his resurrection.
Jesus got the power for His work not by His inheritance of God, but anointing by the Holy Sprite. Because Jesus was in the same conditions of power as humans. Jesus didn't need to baptize as per his divine nature, and John the Baptist also stopped him. But Jesus got baptize because he was incarnated.
We, humans get in close with God and get power by prayer. Faithfully prayer really works for us. Its define in the Bible 25 times that Jesus prayed. Jesus had all divine power then why Jesus need to pray? Because of his human nature Jesus prayed and get power through prayer, like we human.
Our scripture says, in Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned. It means, there is no one on the face of the earth is Holy. It is completely impossible for human to live life without sin. Then how Jesus couldn't do any sin? How could Jesus holy? He was also a man. If Jesus only a man, he must sinned and he shouldn't holy. But Jesus never sinned and Jesus was/is holy. It's because Jesus was incarnated God. | {

Eighteen years after setting the hill climb course record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, former F1 driver and current Formula E driver Nick Heidfeld is returning to the scene of one of his greatest accomplishments. This time, the German racer is setting his sights on breaking the lap time record for an all-electric car. His weapon of choice? The Mahindra M4Electro Formula E race car.
The M4Electro will actually make its public debut at the event ahead of the fourth season of Formula E this coming December. What better way, then, for Heidfeld and his car to show off their wares than by besting the lap time record for an electric car at the Goodwood Hill Climb? As it stands, the Lola-Drayson prototype sports car still holds the record in this category after posting a lap time of 47.34 seconds back in 2013. A number of other electric cars have taken shots at the record since, but none of them have come close to breaking the Lola-Drayson's lap time. Heidfeld hopes to be the one do it and should he be successful, he'd become the first driver to hold two lap time records at Goodwood. High stakes for somebody who has actually had very little preparation with his team's new Formula E race car. The good news is we won't have to wait too long to find out if Heidfeld can etch his name a second time in the annals of Goodwood lore. The Goodwood Festival of Speed kicks off tomorrow, June 29, and will run until Sunday, July 1.
Nick Heidfeld may not have achieved everything he wanted to achieve in Formula One, but the German racer has had quite an impressive career in his own right. He holds the record for having the most podium finishes (13) in Formula One without winning a race. He has the most second-place finishes (8) without a win. He's also come away first in his class at the Le Mans 24 Hours and he holds the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb record with a time (41.6 seconds) that will unlikely be matched anytime soon.
Speaking of which, there are a few reasons why the record has lasted for 18 years. For one, he set it while driving Mikka Hakkinen's 1998 McLaren MP4-13 that won that season's Formula One world title. He also did at a time when F1 race cars were allowed to do officially timed laps. Event organizers stopped doing that for safety reasons and was big part why Heikki Kovalainen's run atop the Goodwood Hill Climb in 2006 aboard a Renault R25 was not recognized as a record despite the car completing a lap below 40 seconds.
To be clear, I'm not saying that Heidfeld's record time will stand in perpetuity. Electric cars have come a long way in posting break-neck lap times of their own and Heidfeld's car for this weekend's event is one of them. The Mahindra Formula E team he's representing seems confident that he can break the Lola-Drayson prototype's lap time in 2013. If Heidfeld somehow accomplishes it, look for him to take a stab at his old record in the coming years. | {

►►US ex-DoD official says drone captured by Iran 'seems fake'. Newspaper USA Today quotes an anonymous US former Pentagon official, who said that, according to video footage of the drone on display in Iran, not only is it the drone the wrong color, but also the welds along the wing joints do not appear to conform to the stealth design that helps it avoid radar detection.
►►Ex-CIA officer says collapse of CIA operations benefits Iran. The collapse of CIA operations in Lebanon, following Hezbollah's unmasking of several CIA spies and the recent naming of the agency's station chief, is a serious blow to the US' ability to gather intelligence, says Robert Baer, a former CIA officer who operated in Lebanon in the 1980s.
►►Iran indicts 15 in alleged US-Israeli spy ring. An Iranian prosecutor announced on Tuesday that his government has indicted 15 people who allegedly spied on the Islamic Republic for the US and Israel. Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi did not name the alleged spies, who are suspected of having ties to the American CIA and Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. IntelNews readers may remember that, in May, Iran's intelligence minister, Heidar Moslehi, announced the alleged discovery of a CIA-directed spy network in Iran of more than 30 people.

US diplomatic cables reveal lack of Iran intelligence.

Iran announces arrests of alleged nuclear spies
October 4, 2010 by intelNews Leave a comment
Heidar Moslehi
The Iranian government has announced the arrest of an unspecified number of alleged nuclear spies, reportedly in connection with a sophisticated virus that infected computers used in Iran's nuclear energy program. The arrests were publicized on Sunday by Heidar Moslehi, Iran's Minister of Intelligence, who said those arrested had helped facilitate the spread of the so-called Stuxnet virus last June. The malicious program, which appears to have been designed to sabotage sensitive hardware components found specifically in nuclear centrifuges, has infected at least 100,000 computer systems worldwide, most of which are located in Iran. Speaking to Iranian media, Moslehi accused Israel and the United States of trying to sabotage the Iranian nuclear energy program, but noted that Iran's intelligence services have resumed "complete supervision of cyberspace" and will successfully prevent "any leak or destruction" of the Islamic Republic's nuclear research and development program by outside forces. But elsewhere in Tehran, Hamid Alipour, an Iranian government Senior Information and Technology official, admitted that technical experts are still working on containing the virus, which appears to be mutating.

US still denying India access to Headley. There has been intense speculation in India and Pakistan that David Coleman Headley, a former US Drug Enforcement Administration informant, who was arrested by the FBI in October for plotting an attack on a Danish newspaper, is in fact a renegade CIA agent.

What Ben Affleck said about J.Lo and their kids in his wedding speech, plus more news
By Wonderwall.com Editors 6:40am PDT, Aug 25, 2022
Ben Affleck reportedly professed his love for Jennifer Lopez and her kids in moving wedding speech
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's second wedding weekend in Georgia included an "impassioned speech" by the groom in which he shared his belief that the two weren't meant to marry the first time around. Ben and Jen were initially engaged during their romance in the early aughts, but they ended up calling it off and marrying other people. When they reunited following their respective divorces, they each brought children from their previous relationships into each other's lives. According to an Us Weekly source, Ben, "[professed] his love for Jennifer and her kids and said the children are the blessing and gift that happened because they didn't get married before and that is proof that everything happens for a reason." (Jen shares twins Emma and Max with ex, Marc Anthony, while Ben shares Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex, Jennifer Garner.) The newlyweds' celebration on Saturday, Aug. 20, came on the heels of their legal wedding in Las Vegas in July. They're reportedly enjoying a honeymoon in Europe this week.

Taylor Swift's 'Lover' mirrors 2010 book of the same name, lawsuit claims
Taylor Swift has been accused of stealing ideas and elements of her 2019 book "Lover" from a 2010 book of the same name by a woman named Teresa La Dart. In a new copyright infringement lawsuit, Teresa claims her 2010 release, which features poems, stories and photos of the author, bears multiple similarities to Taylor's 2019 companion book to her album, "Lover," TMZ reported on Wednesday, Aug. 24. As evidence, Teresa points to the books' shared title and color schemes — both are cast in similar blue and pink pastels — as well as the "style of photos" the singer used for her book's cover and foreword, which Teresa says match hers almost exactly. She further claims Taylor's book even seems to have lifted its concept from Teresa's 2010 release, which she describes in the lawsuit as a "recollection of past years memorialized in a combination of written and pictorial components." Noting that her book was "widely available" and could have been spotted by Taylor or a member of her staff, according to TMZ. Based on domestic book sales figures for Taylor's version of "Lover," Teresa is asking for "at least" $1 million in damages, per TMZ.

Jason Momoa says he's trying to hang onto his post-surgery 'dad bod'
Jason Momoa says he's mostly recovered from the hernia surgery he recently underwent — except for one thing. As the uber-chiseled "Aquaman" star told James Corden on Tuesday's "The Late Late Show," his mid-section isn't quite the paragon of abdominal perfection it once was. "All good," said Jason, 43, when the host asked about his recovery. "Not really doing sit-ups. Trying to keep that dad bod going for a little bit longer," he joked. James, however, wasn't having it. "You can't say you've got a dad bod! You can't. It's not a dad bod," he insisted. "Well, I don't want to do any more sit-ups!" Jason replied with a grin. At the 2022 Oscars in March, the Hawaii-born actor revealed he'd had hernia surgery just one day earlier after wrapping production on "Aquaman 2," according to the New York Post. Asked what caused the hernia, he semi-joked to "Extra" it was from "throwing bodies around," adding, "I'm getting old, bro. It ain't that CinemaCon from 2016, you know what I'm saying?"

Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz celebrate 'intense,' year-long romance with a trip to Italy
It's officially been one year since Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz sparked dating rumors with a series of hangouts in and around New York City last summer. Now, a source tells People things are getting "serious" as the pair enjoys some downtime together in Positano, Italy, this week. "They are very happy. Their careers are a big focus and they share this passion. When they are off, they are very low-key. They enjoy quiet date nights with friends but most often just hang out at home," says the People insider. "Channing is serious about Zoe. It's not a casual relationship. They have been exclusive for a long time." Over the weekend, the couple was photographed sharing a kiss on a yacht off the coast of Positano, where they were reportedly vacationing with Channing's daughter, Everly, 9. Another source predicts that while their "romantic relationship is quite intense and positive," they won't be "going public in a big way unless something forces it." Adds the insider: "They have enormous respect for each other above and beyond the romantic attraction." Zoe, 33, met Channing, 42, while casting her upcoming directorial debut, "Pussy Island," featuring both of the stars.
Demi Lovato says her team denied her request for rehab less than a year before she overdosed
Less than a year before she nearly died of an overdose, Demi Lovato says her management team refused her request for help, telling her she wasn't "sick enough" to go back to rehab and, presumably, stop working. In a candid interview on this week's "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the singer, 30, recalled that at one point she told her team she'd snuck out of her hotel room to binge and purge. Having already barred her from having food or phone and room service access in her room, Demi said her team "barricaded" her inside her hotel room so she couldn't "sneak out and eat" again. Demi said she even asked to return to rehab but was denied professional help, as well. "One time I said, 'I'm throwing up blood. I need to go to treatment, I need to get help.' And this was in like 2017 and this person looked at me and said, 'You're not sick enough,'" the singer recalled. "And I think that was his way of saying, 'No, you're not going back to treatment because if you do this will look bad on me.' And so I didn't. I didn't go back into treatment and you know, less than a year later, I ended up overdosing. And so I think it was just like I felt trapped." Looking back, Demi thinks she overdosed in 2018 as a way of regaining some sense of control. "I felt like I couldn't get out of this situation and my way of like blowing everything up was relapsing on drugs and alcohol cause they always said, 'If you use we're out,'" she admitted. "And I was like, 'Alright time to get out, bye.' I've learned a lot from that experience," Demi continued. "Like no one can control me anymore and I was under the control from 18 to 25 and those are years where you're trying to figure out your adulthood." Ultimately, though, Demi sees a silver lining in the trauma she's experienced. "I found my voice," she said, in part. "I feel empowered by what I went through because I had to grow and I had to learn to accept that I'm my own boss."
Mick Jagger pays tribute to Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts one year after his death
Mick Jagger shared on Twitter that he was "thinking of Charlie" on Wednesday, Aug. 24, the first anniversary of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts' death at age 80. The Stones' frontman shared a video montage and message in honor of his late friend, as well, set to the band's 1974 track "'Till the Next Goodbye." "I miss Charlie… because he had a great sense of humor," Mick said over a stream of photos of the musicians as young men. "Outside of the band, we used to hang out quite a lot and have interesting times," Mick continued. "We loved sports, we'd go to football, we'd go to cricket games, and we had other interests apart from just music. But, of course… I really miss Charlie so much." Charlie joined the Rolling Stones in 1963 and continued playing with them until shortly before his passing last year, when his health was failing and he announced he wouldn't be touring with the band. Since his death in 2021, the Stones have continued to include a video tribute to the late drummer in their performances, according to Variety.
Nick Cannon announces he's expecting his tenth child
After admitting it's a "safe bet" he'll welcome three more kids this year, Nick Cannon announced he's expecting a child with Brittany Bell, making him a father of 10. "Time Stopped and This Happened. #Sunshine #SonRISE," Nick captioned a video post on Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 24. The clip showed the proud pop standing beside Brittany and occasionally giving her a kiss as she posed for maternity photos, showing off her bare baby bump. Nick also shares 5-year-old son Golden and 1-year-old daughter Powerful with Brittany. The "Wild N Out" star just welcomed a son, Legendary, with Bre Tiesi in June. His ex, Abby De La Rosa, with whom he shares twins, is reportedly also expecting a child with Nick before the end of the year (though with 10 children by five mothers, it's getting hard to keep track, tbh). As one of many amused commenters put it on the 'Gram, "I know that BIBLE said be fruitful and Multiply but D***!!!"

If you want to take advantage of the best credit card offers when you apply for credit card, then you need to make sure that you know the rules of the game. Knowing which purchases will give you more rewards can help you realize where you need to make your purchases and how you can save money.
Stick with affiliated shops and stores as often as possible.
Try to find a card that helps you save on gas.
Make sure you meet all of the qualifications for the rewards points.
If you have more than one rewards card, make sure to use different cards at different locations.
Be patient and ready to learn over a long period of time.
Here are the Best Points Rewards Credit Cards.
After spending time comparing reward credit cards, you have finally made a choice and submitted your application. Now that you're approved, it's time to plan your strategy to enjoy the best benefits. Listed below are tips on how to use your reward credit card and manage your points effectively.
On Collecting Reward Points. Credit card companies reward their cardholders in different ways. Some reward credit cards give 1 point for every dollar spent while others give double points or more, depending on the type of purchase made. Some credit cards are sponsored by specific merchants but only grant reward from selected purchases. Meanwhile, credit cards that are sponsored by banks do give points from general purchases.
On Redeeming Reward Points. The rules of redemption also vary from one reward credit card to another. Typically, the reward cardholder will have access to the credit card's reward program website so points can be monitored online. When you're ready to redeem the points, you may have several options, depending on your reward credit card. | {

Q: \r does not generate a line break I use the following code:
if (delanaloge.equals(stari)) {
if (novi.equals("-")) {
zdruzen = " -";
} else {
zdruzen = zdruzen + " " + " - " + novi + "\r";
}
nap = true;
}
\r is appended to create a line break, but it does not generate a line break like I expect. I would like to generate an output similar to this:
- 213
- 232
- 1321
How can I add a line break in my string?
A: New line character combinations vary between OS. Windows is \r\n, Unix-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, Android and so on is \n and MacOS is \r.
Try whichever suits your development environment.
A: you could use this:
public static String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
A: Try this:
if (delanaloge.equals(stari)) {
if (novi.equals("-")) {
zdruzen = " -";
} else {
zdruzen = zdruzen + " - " + novi + System.getProperty("line.separator");
}
nap = true;
}
A: try to use \r\n, in some cases \n will work (or every case) .. just try both :)
A: In JTextPane and other text components \n suffices and seems a good choice. On Windows the document internally stores \r\n so document positions and getText() indices are not equal. System.getProperty("line.separator") is more correct, but \n is so universal.
A: Use \ n for line breaking in printing the String.
if (delanaloge.equals(stari)) {
if (novi.equals("-")) {
zdruzen = " -";
} else {
zdruzen = zdruzen + " " + " - " + novi + "\n";
}
nap = true;
}
A: A bit from the typing machines age -
*
*\r is the carriage return and should go back to the line origin.
*\n is the new line feed on and does create the new line.
For Windows systems \r\n is a typical new line - and works as on the typing machine - carriage return, then new line.
For Linux based systems it was shorten to just \n. But '\n' is normally recognized by most programs.

"When a poor man was given a loaf of bread, he thanked the baker, but he baker said, 'Don't thank me. Thank the miller who made the flour. So the poor man thanked the miller, but the miller said, 'Don't thank me. Thank the farmer who planted the wheat. 'So the poor man thanked the farmer. But the farmer said, 'Don't thankme. Thank the Lord. He gave the sunshine and rain and fertility to the soil, and that's why you have bread to eat.'" | {

Focke Meler is opening a new subsidiary in Germany
Author: Meler 27 October, 2016
Focke Meler exports adhesive application systems to more than 30 countries.
FOCKE MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS, which is dedicated to the development and manufacture of adhesive application solutions in all industries, is continuing its international expansion. The company, which currently exports to more than 30 countries, is committed to converting itself into the best supplier of adhesive application solutions through its advice and technical experience.
The company has been present in Germany for many years and has wanted to consolidate its presence in the German market by opening a subsidiary in Hamburg. The Managing Director of the company, Javier Aranguren, states that they decided to create this new subsidiary "in order to give direct support to our German customers, given the increase in demand for our products".
The establishment of this new subsidiary in Germany, Focke Meler Germany, reinforces the commitment of the company to being a global competitor, capable of adapting itself to the different industries of each country.

You were smart to emigrate to Australia. I'm sorry I didn't go with you. I was way too afraid that everything could kill me. Did you know that even the koalas are deadly? Koalas.
Today Camp Stars and Stripes was tedious. We had to have a campfire. According to Counselor Kelly, nothing is more American than a campfire. I don't get why she thinks we've never seen one before. Remember when we were in sixth grade and they sent us away to summer camp? That was when James Jenkins wet his pants because he saw a rattlesnake. It's not like we grew up in Egypt. We grew up in Denver.
"Okay, guys! I know you like listening to your screechy terrorist music, but we're going to listen to the ultimate American band: Three Doors Down!" She hopped up and down. I swear she's on cocaine.
"Why can't we listen to The Rolling Stones?" Mohammad #3 piped up. "I like Mick Jagger," he said. Laila, his wife, nodded in agreement and began to hum "Paint it Black".
Laila muttered under her breath, "But we are American." Counselor Sean put his hand on his gun. Laila averted her eyes.
"You mean The Second Civil War?" Laila asked. I don't think any of us expected Alabama to have that many guerrilla soldiers that could take down Los Angeles.
Counselor Sean fired his gun into the air. A single shot echoed into the harsh night. We no longer scream or duck when we hear gunshots. A gunshot goes off about 30 minutes around here, sometimes even more.
"That's it! You all have to eat another hot dog! Now listen to this!" She nodded to Counselor Paul, who proceeded to pick up a guitar and shriek "Kryptonite" to us.
"Do you think it's possible for us to escape and swim to Cuba?" I whispered to Samira. She's one of my roommates here.
"If they caught us, they would probably lock us in a cabin and make us listen to Nickelback," she whispered back, popping a marshmallow into her mouth.
She smirked back at me. I looked away when I met Counselor Sean's beady eyes. He's got thief's eyes, as Uncle Tarak would call them. You can't trust someone with thief's eyes. They're as sneaky as they come.
I let out a long groan. It's not that we hate Kyle. He means well, he's just an idiot. He's this white guy who claims he's Muslim. When the Muslim registry first started, he was the first to claim that he was a Muslim. As the military forced us to register, I remember his swagger as he burst in, wearing a North Face pullover and demanding that they let him register. At first Kyle was fine. It was cool to see someone want to fight for us and who wanted to convert. But Kyle hasn't learned anything about Islam. He doesn't know anything about what it's like to be us. I remember when they were stuffing us into vans, the way you would stuff an overpacked suitcase, he made sure every news camera was trained on him.
"How dare you make me eat pork?!" Kyle hurled his hot dog into the fire, where it landed with a soft crackle. It knocked Mohammed #4's marshmallow out of the fire. He didn't look happy about that. "You know that it's against Allah's will for me to eat pork!" Kyle yelled.
"Let's see if he's still saying that once Ramadan hits," Samira muttered. I stifle a chuckle. Counselor Paul glared at me. I knew that I would be stuck cleaning the toilets tonight.
Counselor Sean seized Kyle and dragged him away. He treated him like a sack of dirty laundry. This was the second time Kyle has been taken. The last time he came back with a black eye.
The conversation kept going like this. It's only Day 5. I might try to escape and swim to Cuba.
Since the Patriot Act 2.0 was drafted into law, hate crimes against the Muslim population have skyrocketed. In Denver, Co, alone, 55 different Muslims have reported severe harassment on public transit, in one case leading to death and severe injuries.
Muslims aren't the only ones being targeted. Despite the Patriot Act 2.0 only requiring Muslims to registers, vigilantes calling themselves "saints" have been targeting Latinos and South Asians alike. In the past month, hate crimes have risen by 25%. Even though most of these victims are not Muslim, they have been targeted nonetheless.
The Patriot Act 2.0 has anyone of Muslim faith, current or past, including any family members of a person of Muslim faith register with the National Registry of Muslims. From there, they are required to wear the crescent moon, a key symbol of Islam. While our President stated that this is a mere safety precaution to weed out possible terrorists, many groups have opposed the controversial measure including the ACLU. | {

Kleio works as Associate in our firm. Kleio's main areas of expertise include data protection, intellectual property with a focus on national, European and international trademarks, as well as the provision of legal advice on consumer law matters and competition law concerns. With respect to data protection issues Kleio advised on the notification obligation before the Authority or the exemption thereof, monitored the procedure of binding corporate rules applying to data transfers outside the EU, addressed enquiries with respect to compliance issues arising from both the current legislative framework and the GDPR.

Radioactive effluent treatment
Elemental analysis for nuclear decommissioning
Radiation effects in waste packages
Reducing manufacturing costs for nuclear power
The New Nuclear Manufacturing programme
We're working with Sellafield Ltd to improve the way the nuclear industry can clean up and recycle waste.
The partnership we've developed has allowed us to gain unprecedented insights into the challenges on site, enabling us to tailor our research to directly impact site operations.
Professor Katherine Morris / The University of Manchester
Sellafield Ltd is responsible for safely decommissioning the UK's nuclear legacy facilities at Sellafield, as well as managing nuclear waste and fuel recycling on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Working with Sellafield Ltd and the National Nuclear Laboratory, we are delivering real-world impact by finding new ways to do this.
Sellafield is the UK's only site for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel from its civil nuclear programme. Many legacy facilities at Sellafield are being prepared for, or are in the process of, being decommissioned.
This presents some of the most complex nuclear challenges in the world, one of which is management and treatment of radioactive effluents from the site.
A Centre of Expertise in Effluent Treatment has been established by The University of Manchester's Dalton Nuclear Institute, with the support of Sellafield Ltd and the National Nuclear Laboratory, to carry out research into management and treatment of radioactive effluents.
Research at this centre focuses on:
Understanding abatement processes to optimise treatment.
Radionuclide behaviour in ponds and colloid formation.
The microbial ecology of spent nuclear fuel ponds.
This work has directly assisted Sellafield Ltd in maintaining effective approaches to effluent treatment.
Developing new high-level skills and techniques and translating these to industry.
Building partnerships focused on nationally important research challenges.
Creating measurable impact, such as reduced discharges of radionuclides and optimisation of decommissioning operations within spent nuclear fuel ponds.
Finding robust ways to safely clean-up the nuclear legacy is a global grand challenge.
Case study showing how we've monitored radiation in disposed-of nuclear waste for years.
Find out how your business could collaborate with our nuclear researchers.

Q: Node.js, MongoDB, and Concurrency I'm working on a game prototype and worried about the following case: Browser does AJAX to Node.JS, which has to do several MongoDB operations using async.series.
What prevents multiple requests at the same time causing the database issues? New events (i.e. db operations) seem like they could be run out of order or in between the async.series steps.
In other words, what happens if a user does AJAX calls very quickly, before the prior ones have finished their async.series. Hopefully that makes sense.
If this is indeed an issue, what is the proper way to handle it?
A: First and foremost, @fmodos's comment should be completely disregarded. It is wrong on many levels but most simply you could have any number of nodes running (say on Heroku) and there is no guarantee that subsequent requests will hit the same node.
Now, I'm going to answer your question by asking more questions. (You really didn't give me a choice here)
What are these operations doing? Inserting documents? Updating existing documents? Removing documents? This is very important because if all you're doing is simply inserting documents then why does it matter if one finishes for before the other? If you're updating documents then you should NOT be issuing a find, grabbing a ref to the object, and then calling save. (I'm making the assumption you're using mongoose, if you're not, I would) Instead what you should be doing is using built in mongo functions like $inc which properly handle concurrent requests.
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/update/inc/
Does that help at all? If not, please let me know and I will give it another shot.
A: Mongo has database wide read/write locks. It gives preference to writes of the same collection first then fulfills reads. So, if by chance, you have Bill writing to the db and Joe is reading at the same time, Bill's write will execute first while Joe waits until the write is complete and then he is given all the data (including Bill's).
