The number of COVID-19 vaccinated in Chicago.
By: Huimei Wang
Tags: Google, Chicago, Daily Vaccinations

The total number of vaccinations per day and the cumulative number of vaccinations in Chicago, as well as the total number of first dose vaccinations per day and the cumulative number of first dose vaccinations in Chicago.

With the improvement of people’s awareness of protection, the number of people vaccinated also increases. As shown in the figure, the total number of vaccinations has been rising, except for the data from April 1 to April 9. The total number of people vaccinated every day is uneven, which may be related to the reserves of vaccine stations or holidays. In general, the number of people vaccinated is on the rise. Every day, local residents or non local residents, such as travelers and international students, are vaccinated.

Because the global novel coronavirus pneumonia is complicated and uncertain, although the effectiveness of the protection has been achieved, the risk of transmission is still there. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is the most effective way to prevent the disease and can reduce the morbidity and mortality. In particular, people who contact many people every day, such as doctors and nurses, subway station staff, bus drivers, etc., should be vaccinated in time.

Daily number of vaccines being administered to Chicago residents

Over a year has passed since the COVID-19 outbreak surfaced in the U.S. and Americans have gone from feeling anxious and uncertain to relatively optimistic. With the development of vaccines for the virus in the past several months, millions of people have been able to get vaccinated. This includes thousands of Chicago residents.

According to an analysis, which used data provided by City of Chicago Data Portal of the daily number of vaccines that were given to Chicago residents, the number of vaccines has fluctuated to a great extent. Total number of daily vaccines in Chicago since December 2020 are shown here:

View the interactive chart

Starting in mid-December of 2020, only 7 doses were administered. However, in just three days, the number of daily doses jumped to nearly 6,000. Two days later, it went down to 900 doses. This fluctuation continued on throughout the rest of the month and for all the future months to come.

Vaccination rates in Chicago seemed to be at an all-time high in the early spring of this year, reaching 40,000 doses on April 4th; Chicago’s highest overall daily number of administered shots. With summer only a few months away, people were eager to get vaccinated so that they could enjoy the activities, social gatherings, and outings that they were not able to experience during the previous summer.

Interestingly, however, vaccination rates in Chicago from May up until now are lower compared to early spring. This could be a result of people not being able to get vaccinated or having trouble finding the time to have it done. Whatever the case may be, it is likely that by the end of June, thousands more Chicagoans will be vaccinated. As the analysis has shown, vaccination rates in Chicago tend to fluctuate frequently, so the numbers are bound to increase again soon.
Leadership in the Education Field

Tags: Edtech Startup, Leadership In Action, Chicago, Diverse Founders, Venture Capital

In 2017 there were 130,930 public and private elementary & secondary schools and 7,427 charter schools in the United States. The education system serves 56.4 million students and accounts for over $720 billion in funding from local, state and federal governments.The education sector is an important part of the U.S. fabric.

For years, teachers and school systems have collected and applied data in a variety of forms; grades are the age-old yardstick to track progress, standardized test scores are compared across states or districts to assess performance. Today’s technology has increased the opportunity to use data and analytics in the classroom and schools, capturing more metrics on engagement and performance than ever before. According to EdSurge, $1.7 billion was invested in education technology startups in 2019. This number rose to $2.2 billion in 2020. The disruptive nature of the Covid-19 pandemic was a tailwind for the education technology industry.

The educational ecosystem can be challenging to build for due to the sheer volume of stakeholders: teachers, students, parents, administrators and district administrators — each with different incentives and goals. Many startups focus on serving one stakeholder or a small subset of stakeholders — for example, gamifying learning to make it fun for students (Roblox), creating alternative environments called micro-schools where teachers can teach (VIPKid, SchoolHouse), or platforms that help administrators and counselors to optimize outcomes for students (Naviance). However, not many startups cater to the needs of 2+ stakeholders and are successful in their endeavor. This is why we are very excited to announce our investment in Innovare.

Why We Invested in INNOVARE

Innovare is the newest addition to the Chingona Ventures portfolio founded by AJ DeLeon, Luis Fernando DeLeon and Nick Freeman. Chingona Ventures first learned of Innovare because Fernando, Samara’s classmate at the University of Michigan, reconnected with her while Innovare was participating in the Latinx Incubator. Fernando, a former product leader at Google holds technical expertise as an engineer while his brother, AJ, who was Innovare’s first founder, brings the know-how of the education industry having spent close to a decade at the Chicago Public Schools and consulting for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Over the past three years, we’ve observed the many accomplishments of Innovare and the team — including bootstrapping growth, doubling revenue almost every year, and growing the team. Innovare’s all-in-one strategy and analytics software solution empowers education leaders to impact students and communities. Innovare prioritizes the customer experience and is the only product offering data consolidation, management, analytics, and strategic planning in one place. The founding team’s innovative solution backed by their deep industry knowledge, provides leaders in the education ecosystem the ability to employ a data driven approach in their decision making.
Millie Queen of the Deli: An Origin Story
By: Millie Queen Of The Deli
Tags: Recipe, Deli, Jewish, Baking

I’ve loved delis for so long that my father says I was drinking matzo ball soup from a sippy cup. I practically grew up sitting in the glossy red booths of Jerry’s Famous Deli (West Hollywood location; sadly this location is now closed). All the waitresses knew me and my dad and watched as I grew up.

My first love was matzo ball soup. Jerry’s has the best matzo ball. It’s fluffy, baseball-sized, and looks like the moon. Brent’s is another favorite of mine because once when I asked for extra noodles my request was met with nothing short of a full on mound of spaghetti covered in chicken soup. I don’t even think they charged us extra. Canter’s Mish Mosh soup is also a standout with its addition of Kreplach. Then, of course, there are the homemade matzo balls Cousin Vera makes for her annual Passover seder. She even makes two types: hard and soft. I’m partial to the harder ones. I would gladly eat them daily if I could.

As I’ve grown up, my gastronomic tastes have expanded into the world of deli meats and fishes. A standard sesame bagel with lox, cream cheese, capers, tomato, and red onion is my go-to. However, I recently had a Corned Beef Reuben that was so good I banged the table out of glee. Sandwiches must be ordered with thick cut steak fries and Thousand Island and/or ranch dressing.

While this could easily turn into an essay on my love of deli food (I had to stop myself from devoting another paragraph to sides, which could in it of themselves be a meal; latkes, blintzes, knishes, oh my), my reason for creating this blog must finally be addressed.

I sadly no longer live near any great kosher/kosher-style delis, which depresses me greatly. I’m also a lifelong baker who is trying to dip her toe into cooking as well. Therefore, I’ve decided to recreate some classic deli baked goods and maybe even tackle a latke or two along the way. I’m going to document all of my adventures here, using this as a sort of Jewish food journal, if you will. I’ll make sure to add links to the recipes I’m using as well as any tips or tricks I discover along the way. Here goes nothing!

Israeli artist Alex Levin has been banned by Google for his Jewish and Jerusalem paintings

Israeli artist Alex Levin has been banned by Google for his Jewish and Jerusalem paintings Alex Levin Jun 22·2 min read

A few years ago, a scandal erupted on Facebook about the closure of the artist Alex Levin’s page. Alex Levin is an Israeli artist, whose paintings are exhibited in many galleries around the world, in museums, in the Israeli Knesset, in many private collections in Israel, the USA, Canada, Russia and other countries of the world. One of the main themes of the artist is Jewish life (Judaica), as well as Jerusalem and the streets of Tel Aviv. The page was reopened, and Zuckerberg had to personally apologize to the artist.

Waves of anti-Semitism have reached Google, which was developed and founded by Jews (by the way). Of the 400 Jerusalem paintings by Alex Levin put up for sale through Google Shopping, 61 paintings were suddenly banned with completely inadequate definitions like religious beliefs and nudity and with inaccessible resources for appeal. See screenshots below. Considering the recent statement by the Jews of Google employees about supporting the Palestinians against Israel, this action cannot be viewed otherwise than as a manifestation of anti-Semitism.

- “There are only 61 Jewish paintings out of four hundred,” somebody would argue.

Well yes! It all starts small. And we know how it ends…

Token Mining on Collect.Social
Tags: Nft, Tokenization, Nft Collectibles, Mining

🙌🏻Good day, Collectors!

Now we are back with a portion of splendid updates.

So just one question remains: are you ready to meet new updates on the first Collect2Earn medium?

🚀Then go!

We have already explained the role of Racoons for Collectors. If you are new here, reading this article would be a good starting point.

Today we want to take a step towards the next milestone of that ever-changed token.

Now Collecting would be more joyful with the new fruitful feature for our users.

What is the mining rate?

Mining rate of the collection — the amount of Racoon coins provided for particular sets supposing it is sustained for at least 24 hours.

Tiers of Collections Mining Rates

The standard mining rate granted for particular sets comprises 5% of displayed collection XP or Racoon Coins.

Those conditions are applied in case the user has been holding a collection for no less than 24 hours on the phase of the mining test run.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Mining Rate available not for every collection on the website.

⏫ So pay heed to find the symbol below the collection name.

What does this mean?

By way of illustration, the mechanics come down to RACOON accrual after keeping the clustering of cards.

Hereon, after 24 hours we will check to ascertain the collection belongs to a specific WAX Account.

Simply put, no sell transactions of claimed collection admitted, just stable retention to get a RACOON refund.

Not a poor suggestion, isn’t it?

1 Week or Accumulation Stops

As was said RACOON Bonus is available once in 24 hours.

In the same way, Token Bonus could be stored within 1 Week only so that it entitles you to earn an overall 35% of collection XPs.

After 168 hours the Coins will no longer accumulate until the balance is reset.

Once the Racoons are withdrawn, the 24-hour accumulation will begin again.

Thereby you have to claim tokens at least once in 7 days.

🎯 No time to delay.

Altogether, it’s a great opportunity to enhance your earnings by collecting as well as being naturally attentive.

Upgraded Mining Rate

At the beginning of the article, we were talking about the standard mining rate and its terms.

But, wait, there’s more!

If you are an author, you have a unique chance to boost your collection.

The point is when the artist is carrying out certain events, there is an upward tendency to push an NFT-set. This allows users to multiply their rewards.

For instance, if, as a creator, you are running a Promo Sale, then the Mining Rate of selected collection XPs will constitute a higher percent.

💣 So let’s give it a go!

🎲 Thank you for reading this article and experimenting with new features!

Y’all are the driving force for our project to be propelled.

Looking forward to seeing you Collecting and Earning!

How Does Payment Tokenization Work?
By: Fintech Blog
Tags: Payments, Tokenization, Fintech, Digital Transformation

Why is Payment Tokenization a ‘Fintech Asset’?

The boom of technology in the Financial services domain has been rapid in the past decade. Card-less transactions, UPI payments, Payment Gateways, etc., increases online consumers each day. As we enjoy the perks of digital banking with one-click transactions, we cannot deny the fact that our data is vulnerable to “Social Engineering.”

Social Engineering is everywhere. We may fall into the trap of hackers and leave a lot of confidential information during digital transactions. There are multiple intrusion points for the hackers to lure in when the transactions float over the network and wipe away our savings.

Given this scenario, tokenization is indeed an asset to Fintech. Because even if a hacker tries to sneak into the network, all he can find is randomized alphanumeric and characters with no relation to the original data (PAN number, credit card number, etc.)

It is expensive for merchants to become PCI DSS compliant and qualify themselves as a trustworthy eCommerce merchant for the consumers. They have to undergo a lengthy auditing process, and it is an ongoing process. With the help of ‘Tokenization,’ merchants can save a hefty amount of money as the scope of PCI DSS compliance is reduced in storing the user’s confidential information.

Apart from banking, ‘credit card tokenization’ builds confidence among the investors as it secures the money with ease. We could see the boom of Blockchain technology-based fintech solutions gaining momentum across the nations. “Tokenization” is also seen as the key to drive blockchain implementation in the future by accompanying cryptocurrency transactions.

Finally, it also offers substantial benefits to all stakeholders involved in the transaction:

Issuers witness a notable decrease in payment fraud in both channels of online and mobile transactions.

Acquirers, merchants, and processors experience a lower risk of accessible, sensitive cardholder data if compromised by cyber attacks.

Merchants will wield a powerful mechanism that lets them innovate better retail experiences minus the responsibility of storing and handling sensitive data.

Customers need not enter their details every time they make an online purchase from smartphones, tablets, or PCs.

Payments tokenization makes all the parties — consumers; merchants; payment gateway providers, banking institutions, regulatory bodies feel safe, secure, and happy with their buying and selling processes.

Tokenizing confidential data makes way for turbulence-free secure digital transactions!

Talking about such a huge and profitable market as real estate opportunities could be tremendously expanded when it meets new technology. Imagine your new investment project will gain funds 10x faster and with almost no effort, which means no complex portfolio management, no investors checks, no administering many fragmented systems and siloed networks.

The extraordinary (at first glance) ambition of replacing the current infrastructure with blockchain technology will accelerate the real estate industry into the digital era by bringing forth a global network that allows issuers to target investors globally.

New investor onboarding: AML/KYC checks

Is this kinda crowdfunding?

On the investor’s side, it is. However, unlike other real estate crowdfunding platform WeTokenise is a white label solution, means investor’s engagement starting from your company’s website or/and from the WeTokenise exchange platform. Which makes it a game-changing solution for specific investment projects where time and cost-effectiveness are key to success.

Tokenization is basically the process involving the adaptation of physical as well as non-physical assets into the blockchain. The trend has already been engraved in traditional industries like Real Estate.

So, why do we need real estate tokenization in the first place?

For example, if you own a house, and suddenly you need urgent money. What are you going to do? But you need only $10,000 while your apartment has a value of $100,000.

Is it possible for you to use your property for obtaining the money?

This is where the importance of asset tokenization comes into the picture!

Let’s discuss how tokenization will work here while helping in the conversion of ownership rights in an asset to a digital token.

Aqarchain Token Economics

Asset tokenization can help you convert your $100,000 worth of apartment into divisible security tokens. Each token would carry one(1) share of the apartment. If you purchase 10 tokens, you will get 10% of ownership in the asset.

Blockchain: Tezos

Token Type: FA1.2 | FA2.2

The Three Generations of Stablecoins and How They Work

The Three Generations of Stablecoins and How They Work Stably Follow Jun 8 · 2 min read

There are currently three different generations of stablecoins as a result of numerous improvements to the technology. Let’s explore them and the future of stablecoin technology.

Generation One

The first generation is the earliest stablecoins and generally what people think of the technology. These stablecoins are asset-backed by fiat money, commodities, or other digital assets. They are usually pegged to their asset on a one-to-one basis, but this can differ from coin to coin. Generation one stablecoins are transparent and regulated by some governing body. This makes them safe to use and easy to redeem for users.

Generation Two

The second generation of stablecoins is in development right now, and it will be released later this year. Generation two stablecoins will have all of the benefits of the first generation, but they may be branded by companies, such as Walmart, JPMorgan, Facebook, etc. The purpose of branded stablecoins is to be used for loyalty, rewards, ease of transactions, and more. Since a company backs these stablecoins, they will be most probably be deployed in a private blockchain.

Generation Three

Generation three stablecoins will help solve ease of use problems found in both generations one and two of stablecoins. These stablecoins are expected to be developed in a few years, sometime around 2023. Beyond having all the capabilities of the first two generations, they will have the ability to combine multiple stablecoins into one. Ultimately, they will lower the weight on the back of the consumer to carry hundreds of branded stablecoins. It’s difficult to say just what these will look like as this is in the future, but generation three stablecoins will be a staple of the economy.

Regardless of which generation of stablecoins you wish to implement in your business, stablecoins are part of the future economy and should be on the radar of every business. For more information on how a stablecoin can improve your business operations, contact Stably at https://www.stably.io/contact/.

Tokenization | NLP Series Part 2
By: Rohan Kumawat
Tags: Tokenization, Naturallanguageprocessing, Nlp Tokenization

Natural Language Processing (Part 2)

Tokenization is the most fundamental step in Natural Language Processing. It is a way of separating a piece of text into smaller chunks or text known as tokens. Tokens are the building block of Natural Language.

The process of breaking down a piece of text into small units called tokens. It may be a word, part of a word, or just characters like punctuation. It defines what our NLP models can express. A token is a string with a known Meaning.

This blog is part 2 of the Natural Language Processing series.

If you want to read part 1 of this series, go have a read at this link: https://kumawatrohan.medium.com/natural-language-processing-part-1-c3ae3a1e1115

Why Tokenization?

Programming languages work by breaking up raw code into tokens and combining them with some logic in Natural Language Processing. By breaking up the text into small, known fragments, we can apply a small set of rules to combine them into some more extensive meaning.

Example: If you’ve ever tried to learn a language other than your mother tongue, then you might have faced a similar thing where you have to grab the vocabulary + their grammar rules + context and then you can form a sentence.

Types of Tokenization

There are two types of Tokenization:

Word Tokenization: It splits a piece of text into individual words based on a certain delimiter.

Word Tokenization

2. Sentence Tokenization: It splits a paragraph or a text into sentences.

Sentence Tokenization

Why do we need to do sentence tokenization when we have word Tokenization?

Imagine you need to count average words per sentence; how will you calculate? It is one of the reasons why we need correction Tokenization too.

Implementation

Many libraries can perform Natural Language Processing tasks, but I’ll implement Tokenization using the “nltk” library. Steps to perform Tokenization:

Install the nltk library.

Install the nltk library

2. After installing the library, we need to import the library and download all the models and dictionaries present in the library to perform NLP tasks.

Import library

3. We need a paragraph to perform Tokenization. Here I’ve taken few a lines from Lionel Messi’s interview.

Paragraph

4. Perform Sentence Tokenization.

Sentence Tokenization

5. Perform Word Tokenization. We can see here that “.” , “‘ve”, “,” are also taken as different words.

Word Tokenization

This is how we perform Tokenization. That was all about Part 2 of the NLP series, and Part 3 will be about Stemming and Lemmatization. If the word cap exceeds 500/600 words, then there will be two different blogs on both of these.

Why Would A Company Change Its Logo?

As a rule of thumb, four significant scenarios require a company to change its logo. Those are:

1. When the company changes its name (very rare)

2. When two companies merge (rare)

3. When the company wants to reposition and renew its brand (often)

4. When the company wants to revitalize its identity or make it more consistent (frequently)

All four re-branding projects -Burger King, Pfizer, Kia and GM- fall under the third category. What those global giants are saying, in a nutshell, is this:

“The public has an antiquated perception about who we are and what we do. We now have cutting-edge products. But we look behind the times.”

While those companies’ objectives are more or less the same, their re-branding projects’ level of success varies quite a bit. So, here are our thoughts on all four of them — ranked from most successful to least successful.

PFIZER

Most brands want to keep things fresh all the time. Sometimes they change for the sake of changing. By doing so, they stay up-to-date and salient. That trend is more visible, particularly among those brands, which appeal to a younger audience.

What is DEXTR®?

An API-based decision engine which hosts an entire strategy. It combines pre-approvals, approvals and loan prioritisation, using the power of artificial intelligence.

DEXTR® learns from real time feedback and continuously improves its decisioning capabilities.

How does it works?

Consumes CreditVidya products like CVScore, IncomeX, Customer360, Employment Verification Engine(EVE) along with standard data sources like Bureau report, Application data, etc. The strategy is driven by the configurations provided at the time of calling the DEXTR® API for decisioning.

Ideation Process

The process of logo design begins with a clear understanding of the product like its features, benefits and then breaking down all the ideas into segments and brainstorming with the keywords and its meaning. After discussing with the product team I have come up with multiple terms and simplify them into components to create easy logo elements.​​​​​​​

Word Placing

The word DEXTR® defines by combining “DEC” and “STR” of the term “Decisioning Strategy”. The “CS” in the middle of the word gives the sound of “X” which helped in organising both the word and sound of “DEXTR®”.

Here “X” balances the complete logo as “X” being the symmetrical alphabet which actually helped in the designing of the logo.

After scrutinizing all the keywords and breaking them down into different segments, I chose the keywords “Learn & Improve” as the definition says that the DEXTR® learns from the real-time feedback.

These keywords have found to be linked with the Nerve Cells which is an active component of the Human brain, also known as Neuron, which transmit information, learn, improve and can hold traces of memories.

This is how I accumulated the images of nerve cells (it has 3 major parts which carry out the function of communication and integration: dendrites, axioms, and axon terminals) and found the similar illustration depicting the nerve cells.

CreditVidya’s Product Logo

As mentioned earlier, DEXTR® consumes CV products and by simplifying the elements into single form gives the clear picture that the alphabet “X” can be connecting lines with dots which satisfy the definition.

Does a logo design need to work in dark and light background to be successful?

Although we live in the digital age, there are still a high number of chances where a business may need to resort to a dark and light background version of its logo. Here the DEXTR® logo perfectly fits-in with both the backgrounds.

DEXTR® has been registered under Trademark Class 9 with an Application Number: 4242027.

Requirements

Cakes and sweets bring joy into our life. The logo requirement was straight to the point — to give a look and feel of the party, festival, celebration, happiness, etc. along with chocolate flavor colors.

Logo Design Process

I decided to invest as little time as I could to complete this logo project. Designing a typographic logo was the solution to this time constraint. The typographic logo consists of Typeface + Illustration, which makes the entire logo designing process creative and speedy.

I took design and color inspirations from a few of the illustrations from online resources.

Photo: Adobe stock image

To indicate the festival or celebration I visualize party hats and confetti and ultimately included relevant shapes into the logo.

Typography

Added playful font i.e. She Always Walks Alone by Roland Huse as the primary typeface. Used Patua One Regular as a secondary typeface. Both typefaces complemented each other in a good visual manner.

Playful and Serif font pairing

Color theme

Brown color to represent chocolate flavor with golden pale yellow shade to indicate some baking. Both colors because of their contradictory shades blended wonderfully with each other.

Brown Color: #643B0F + Golden Color: EFE0B9

Final logo variations

Finally, I combined all the ideas together with the typefaces and designed the typographic logo for the Festive cake shop.

Original Festive logo

Inverted colors

Festive logo monogram

Logo Mockup

My friend felt in love at first sight of the logo. I was prepared to take his feedback for further improvements but he said: “Suraj, this is exactly what I was looking for!”. We designers usually don’t get such comments at our first iteration, I was pretty surprised by his reactions and felt satisfied by closing another design project.
