en | N/A | N/A | Cell culture is a critical tool for biological science research. It provides models for studying cellular physiology, drug screening and development, the effects of toxic compounds on cells, cancer research and large scale manufacturing of vaccines and therapeutics.
For over 30 years ECACC has been instrumental in the education of cell culture scientists through its regular and internationally renowned cell culture training courses and it is estimated that over this time around a thousand delegates have received direct training at the hands of ECACC staff. From their early origins as summer schools run at the University of Surrey the courses have constantly evolved to meet the changing demands of research yet at the same time stayed focussed on the core, essential activities. These include resuscitating cells from frozen, effective sub-culture, cryopreservation and the need to understand the biology of the cells being cultured whilst working in a safe, ethical and quality assured manner.
Each year ECACC endeavours to deliver two comprehensive four day courses from its site at Porton Down, near Salisbury in Wiltshire, and a series of shorter Fast-Track basic two-day courses delivered at partner sites such as Durham University. The longer four day course is designed to give an in depth introduction to all aspects of cell culture including primary cell preparation and more advanced techniques whereas the more accessible Fast-Track course aims to cater for academic researchers to provide essential knowledge those embarking on projects involving cell culture.
Over the years the ECACC has welcomed many expert guest speakers to help deliver the courses and to add another dimension to the learning, none more prolific or esteemed than Dr R Ian Freshney, author and editor of many books relevant to the field including the essential (Wiley and Sons), now in its seventh edition. Ian has had a long and involved association with ECACC and it was sadness for all involved that last year when Ian announced his intent to retire and delivered his final set of lectures for us in October 2016. The staff of the Culture Collections of PHE offer Ian a heartfelt vote of thanks and best wishes for his well-deserved retirement.
It is with great pleasure, however, that following Ian's retirement, ECACC announces that it will now be working closely with world renowned three dimensional (3D) cell culture expert Professor Stefan Przyborski from Durham University in the design and delivery of future training courses. Stefan has been a guest lecturer on the courses for several years and through this association has enabled the delivery of the Fast-Track course from his labs in Durham. ECACC course leaders are excited at the prospect of his increased involvement.

en | N/A | N/A | Pura Tirta Empul (The Temple of Holy Water) at Tampaksiring, Bali
The Pura Tirta Empul (S8.41586 E115.31516) at Tampaksiring is situated about 18KM from the BAS Coffee Farm. It was our next destination after the Luwak Coffee session. The place was calm and peaceful during our visit, and not crowded at all...
The Legend of the Temple :-
"The sacred spring was created by the god Indra. His forces had been poisoned by Mayadanawa, so he pierced the earth to create a fountain of immortality to revive them.
An inscription dates the founding of a temple at the site to 926 AD. Ever since - for more than a thousand years - the Balinese have come to bathe in the sacred waters for healing and spiritual merit." Source from here.
There are many statues around the garden and temple area from the entrance.
Beside the statues, there are also many signages...and we have to read carefully and follow the procedures...
Crystal clear water in the pool
Just for that clean and crystal clear water, we (me, my friend & his elder son) decided to do the purifying like others...:) So we asked Mr Agus to help us on the ceremony and tell us the procedures...
All of us must wear with the 'Sarong' from the temple before get into the pool. There are many lockers around the area for you to keep your valueble items...each locker cost IDR 3,000.00 (about MYR1 / USD 0.33).
Once everything ready, we slowly soaked into the first pool (There are 2 pools at the temple). BEWARE! It was slippery! I slipped from the step and falled directly into the Ice Cold pool! Haha! We had to finished from the first fountain until the last fountain in the purifying pool, total of 22 fountains (if I'm not mistaken). I was shivering after the fifth fountains...it was extremely cold! WOW!
It tooks about 30 minutes to finished the purifying and we quickly changed and warm up our body! Yes, too cold for me! :)
Then we started our tour at the other side of the temple...
Beautiful stone sculptures from the temple
There were some Balinese Hinduism praying ceremony during our visit...
Peaceful while walking in the temple...
It was a life experience for us in the purifying process of the temple, the skin was smooth and clean after bathing from the spring water! I will do it again if I re-visit the temple.
If you don't mind, you might want to try the purifying in the Ice Cold spring water pool! :)

Wenwu Temple (文武廟), Nantou County of Sun Moon Lake - Taiwan
Visited the Wenwu Temple (文武廟) (N23.86960 E120.92685) after the Lake Cruise. There were many stalls in front of the temple selling souvenirs and local foods...
The staircase was locked with grill door and it's not accessible for public...and there was a write up about it beside the door...
The two tigers beside the temple
The first hall of the temple...
And we continue to the second hall...it was full of the little lantern bells again!
The decoration was very nice! And we slowly proceed to the third hall...
The roofs of the temples
I can't post all the photos of the temple, because there are about 100 photos taken...
We hanged around the temple about 45 minutes and everyone were hungry...and we started the food hunt again! :)
Location map of Wenwu Temple at Sun Moon Lake - Taiwan
Once we stepped into the entrance, there were many peoples queuing for the Famous 'Herbal Egg' (茶叶蛋)! I told myself, I'll try it later when we back to the Pier....
Clear signage in front of us, and you will Never lost within the area...
I didn't step into the temple, because it was small and many devotees around...there were many peoples queue up in front of the temple too, it was because of everyone want to take photo with the Landmark - Sun Moon Lake Stone Craft.
Along the way, this were what we saw...
If you visit Sun Moon Lake in the tight schedule, you can actually skip this temple. For us, it was nothing much over here...
While we running down to the jetty to catch the ferry and...I forgot to buy the Famous Herbal Egg! Damn! What a miss!

en | N/A | N/A | Florida governor's race rated a toss-up
Aug 31, 2018 at 1:41 PM Aug 31, 2018 at 6:13 PM
Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a political prognostication sitThursday it’s too early to pick a favorite in the Nov. 6 election between Trump-backed Republican Ron DeSantis and Sanders-backed Democrat Andrew Gillum.
“Had this been Graham versus DeSantis, it might have been tempting to move this race to Leans Democratic,” Kyle Kondik and Geoffrey Skelley wrote for Sabato’s Crystal Ball. “Had it been Gillum versus Putnam, it might have been tempting to move it to Leans Republican.”
Outgoing Republican Gov. Rick Scott narrowly won the state in the 2010 and 2014 midterms that were good years for Republicans. This year, the national environment is trending toward Democrats, Kondik and Skelley noted.
Gillum, the outgoing Tallahassee mayor, has his own issues.
“Gillum will have to pivot to facing a general electorate, and still hangs over his campaign, making Gillum a potentially very risky choice for Democrats,” the Sabato release said.
Sabato also lists Scott’“toss-up.”
In general comments about the contests, Sabato noted the pluses for Republicans are that “the economy is good and we’re not in the midst of an unpopular war, two sometimes-predictors of poor midterm performance for the White House party.”
For Democrats, the upside is that “Trump’”
It also pointed to unknowns ahead: “Future developments in Robert Mueller’s investigation, the impact of tariffs and trade policy, particularly in agriculture-heavy states that otherwise might lean Republican.”
Gillum spent $13.13 per vote to emerge from the five-candidate field to take the Democratic nomination.at Putnam.
“I don’t regret a moment or a dollar spent on this election,” Greene said in a statement Tuesday night. “Having been blessed with great success, there is nothing more important for me than investing time and resources in addressing the problems of Florida’s most vulnerable. I’ll forever be grateful for this summer spent with my kids traveling across this beautiful state, meeting people from all walks of life, sharing ideas, and fighting to create pathways for everyone to thrive.”
Overall, the candidates spent $151.98 million out ofs, which translated to $50.63 per vote cast,
Greene’s $34.8 million in campaign costs landed him 152,693 votes. |
en | N/A | N/A | The global warming debate, now dubbed “climate change,” since no one can agree on its proper name, since naming it defines it, continues to rage across the planet, culminating in the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Summita warmer sources confine the Little Ice Age to approximately the 16th century to the mid-19th century.[2] .[4]
The term "carbon dioxide" has been used as a hypo-trigger by the media on the uninformed masses making them believe that all this "dirty air" is falling on their very heads. Through various publicly displayed protests and lawsuits, the environmentalists, now known as the green movement, has prevented power companies from expanding to meet the ever growing needs of the United States. Meanwhile, the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, is suing major utilities for not spending untold millions of dollars on redundant apparatus to "clean up" their emissions.This is the same EPA who, 2 days after 9/11, declared the air clean and safe, thus assuring rescue workers and clean-up crews they could work with impunity. Now these workers are dying in droves from eye and lung diseases from the unseen but persistent particles of dust that remained in the air and the government refuses any and all medical help or money for these brave but haggard workers who gave their lives on the word of their lying, corrupt and inhuman government. The now re-christened Green movement has made a new religion out of worshipping the earth. "Reduce your carbon footprint" is their commandment and Gaia is their goddess. Under the direction of the Elites, they have hi-jacked an entire planet. These illiterate and compliant slaves cannot stand the notion that entire populations are using electrical power to improve their lives. It is too polluting, according to their insane ideologys that 79% of Americans have cable or satellite TV, 59% have home computers; 16% have DVD players. Add to that refrigerators, electric can openers, lights and other comfort devices and you have a populace totally plugged into the matrix of easy living.Scrambling to prevent third world countries from tapping into current technologies developed by the West, they are fighting to keep these wretchedly poor and desperate people from raising their standard of living. And in turn, they are admonishing and pushing the well off and well fed people of the West to reduce and curtail their consumption of the greatest discovery of all time that has brought health, safety, inventiveness and the advancement of civilization; that gift that Prometheus sacrificed himself to steal from the gods to benefit all mankind: that fire from the sky: electricity.

For a product that isn't already in cart, when the **Add to cart** button is clicked multiple times quickly without changing the quantity of the item via the quantity field, the count of items in the cart is usually more than what is expected after the cart sync with the server is completed.
If the cart is eventually converted to an order, there is also the tendency for the order to contain the same product as more than one line item.
The quantity of a product in cart should be the same as the number of times the add to cart button is clicked for that product, provided that the quantity of the product isn't changed via the quantity field.
1. Open the product detail page of a product that isn't already in cart
2. Click the **Add to cart** button multiple times (click it at least 5 times in a second), leaving the quantity field unchanged.

Cobalt 27 changes course of metals streaming
UNIQUE cobalt sector play Cobalt 27 has had a hectic 12 months or so since its spectacular launch on the Toronto Stock Exchange last year. Yet, despite the rapid progress made so far in the execution of its distinctive strategy, observers can’t help but think the journey has only just started for the ‘electric-metals’ company.

"We plan on continuing to grow our asset base," says CEO Anthony Milewski.
"It's been a big year.
"We always knew that it would be a challenge to start a streaming and royalty company. Most of them were founded on a spin-off or some other corporate transaction. We went out and acquired the world's largest commercial stockpile of physical cobalt. Having physical cobalt gave us a balance sheet, and once we had that, we could use the physical cobalt as part of our leverage to raise equity and debt financing to complete streaming and royalty transactions.
"vel.
"Voisey's Bay is considered generational as it represents the only new, significant nickel sulphide discovery in the last 30 years. You just have to look back at the interest it generated after being discovered, with Inco and Falconbridge vying to acquire it. The opportunity for Cobalt 27 to gain access to this asset through a 32.6% cobalt stream is really once in a lifetime.
"There is the potential that Voisey's Bay could produce nickel and cobalt for another 20 to 30 years.
"Our 32.6% cobalt str We have marketing rights over the cobalt which we intend to sell.
"The fact that Cobalt 27 was able to secure this cobalt stream is significant to delivering on our pledge to generate shareholder returns."
The Ramu nickel-cobalt mine is majority-owned and operated by a first in class operator, Metallurgical Corporation of China Ltd, which has a market capitalization of about US$12 billion. The mine was delivered on budget, US$2.1 billion, in 2012, which at the time was China's largest overseas mining investment.
It recently hired as head of strategy Martin Vydra, a nickel and cobalt technical expert who's worked in the industry for more than 30 years.
"While the focus of our business is cobalt and nickel, we told our investors that we are not going to invest in the Congo," says Milewski. "Outside of the Congo, nickel and cobalt basically go together in the majority of cases. I would just note to investors, that in addition to cobalt, we have significant nickel exposure and I think that's overlooked by the market. I think that nickel has a great few years ahead of it."

A key difference in the Cobalt 27 strategy and growth platform is the 2,905.7 tonnes of cobalt it also owns, worth about C$275 million, representing, which is fully insured and stored in LME-bonded warehouses in Rotterdam, Antwerp and Baltimore. Milewski says holding physical cobalt and electric-metals focused streams and royalties means the company provides investors with unique exposure to rising metal prices without the standard mining company.
"We [the management group] examined various opportunities to invest in electric metals a," he says.
"We're not focused on exploration assets, we're targeting producing and near-production opportunities.
"For investors, with streaming, you isolate exposure to their particular metal of interest and, for the mining company, you are providing them with funds for a capital structure in a non-dilutive way. Stream financing is often cheaper than equity or debt.
"Through the acquisition of streaming and royalties on current and future production, we are helping to fund sustainable mines that produce cobalt and nickel that will help drive EVs. By creating this company, we're helping to finance nickel and cobalt mines that will ultimately power a cleaner future.
"And we're avoiding the Congo, which is one of the ways we're giving investors a unique, more geopolitically secure way to participate in the electric metals market shift.
"This is a big change and we are all just beginning to appreciate how fast it's coming. We'ajor industries on earth: the energy industry and the automotive industry.
"I believe we are talking about peak oil in terms of demand, and not supply.
"That's not happening tomorrow, these take five or 10 years to transpire.

en | N/A | N/A | El Sistema Discovery Day at Carnegie Hall 2012
I would like this event to be useful to you. We are celebrating not only now months of activity by the groups of El Sistema here in the United States, but also nearly 40 years of accomplishment of El Sistema in Venezuela and its consequences worldwide. I want to begin by acknowledging the profound accomplishment of Maestro Abreu in nearly 40 years of music making, and in making music a central dimension of social policy for his nation. This is an incredible achievement. There are no comparable examples of the way Abreu has used of music as an instrument of social change while at the same time rendering the experience of music itself persuasive to participants and listeners. In general aesthetic judgment and pleasure (our notion of great music and great performance of very high standards, and our conversations about art and judgment) seem divorced from issues of politics and issues of societal inspiration. Maestro Abreu has managed to merge the two by creating a very effective instrument--overn--and using music with children and young people as a transformative instrument. In doing so, he has vindicated as well the misconception that we in the United States (and, to some extent, in Europe) have always worried about, (especially since the cultural wars in the United States in the ‘70s and ‘80s): the idea that classical music (which is a misnomer to begin with--there’s nothing classical about it), the traditions of orchestral music, chamber music and choral music, are solely the output of a privileged, aristocratic, white, European, male class and irrelevant outside of the cultural context of their origin. This notion doesn't make this kind of music particularly endearing to communities viewed as “outside”. But as Maestro Abreu's efforts have shown, the belief that this tradition of music is a thing of the past, a historical artifact that is atrophying, turns out to be wrong. Equally misguided is the notion that its value is a dimension of colonial and imperial imposition.
For complex reasons the traditions of notated Western music from the 16th century to today that are associated with concert music turn out to be transferrable culturally. They are being reinvented by new communities in new places that have nothing to do with the dead white males that had a hand in creating them. This is happening in the Far East (in China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia) and South America (particularly Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela). This musical tradition is now reinvented anew, by new generations and in new cultural contexts. That said, it has shown a potential transferability comparable to matters of science and mathematics, which know no cultural boundaries.
Therefore, Maestro Abreu’s achievement is not only for the country of Venezuela and its citizens, but also on behalf of the capacity of any nation’s power to place music making into the center of its culture. And, of course, the most famous result of this, on the international concert scene is Maestro Dudamel, particularly with his continuing commitment to maestro Abreu's principles, the creation in Los Angeles of YOLA (the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles) and the programs which have created in Los Angeles the largest nucleo in the United States.
I start out with this praise because what I would like to talk about is not so much El Sistema as a model; rather we should regard it as an inspiration. It would be a mistake to look at what has been accomplished in Venezuela and conclude, “We can do this in the United States.” There is a certain tendency, given the power of the accomplishment, to follow the imitative route, to think that El Sistema is to music what Weight Watchers is to weight loss: that it’s a product you can package, wrap, and carry with you anywhere you go. But it's not so simple. The problems of Venezuela are not the problems of the United States. There are certain things in common, but there are many things that are very different. There are fundamental aspects El Sistema from which we can learn, that allow us to say we are inspired by El Sistema, but without merely imitating it. To truly honor the achievement of Maestro Abreu is not to imitate it, but to think in the same transformative way about our own circumstances in the United States and find a means, though probably those means may look very different from what has worked in Venezuela, to realize some of the same objectives.
Let me concentrate first on what we can take from the Venezuelan experience that looks transferable. Translation can be either literal (that is to say, very exact), which makes it ugly. Or it can be poetic, which means you are trying to get to the underlying meaning of words in another language and translate it in a way that expresses its moral equivalent in your own language. It may end up being, on the surface, quite a departure from the literal meaning.
The first principle of El Sistema we see that could impact the United States is to define music education and the function of music not in terms of some threshold and standard of quality in music making, but rather in terms of the activity itself. In the United States, we have a tendency to look at music as a function of something we call talent. Parents (wherever they are but also in poor and underserved communities), think that being musical is an exceptional quality. We love child prodigies, and we love to exploit them. This is a profound error based in this pervasive misconception. Music is an inbred, human activity, which every individual possesses, and the level of “natural” ability is not connected to what makes it meaningful, either to the individual or to the society. Prodigies do not define what is musical, and in our educational system we should not segregate by ability. The ability to make music should be encouraged democratically in every child without a prior prejudice of their so-called ability, because we do not know enough either about human psychology or human mechanisms of learning to make a reliable prediction of who in the end will be a good musician, who will not be one. Music making is developing a mode of expression apart from language and of encouraging a different dimension of sensibility. It is therefore not about the exceptional child; it is about every child. Once we accept that position, our whole attitude to music education must necessarily adjust, and that’s what El Sistema has done.
The second lesson to be learned from El Sistema is to regard music as a group activity and not as a divisive, individual activity, to understand that the learning of music is not only (or even primarily) a solo activity isolated from the community. In American popular culture we are familiar with the image of the bespectacled nerd carrying a violin case, someone who is laughed at by all the other kids on the baseball field, and perhaps even beaten up. (This is an autobiographical statement.) The centrality of the group experience in this case has everything to do with not making music. Later, rock music assumed the social collaborative and group function as an amateur activity that once defined classical music, in American society, at the expense of chamber and orchestral music. Snobs and defenders of classical music held rock and popular music in contempt, particularly after World War II. My point is that the perception of making music as a singular activity based in some exceptional talent must be changed. It is a group activity in which everyone at all levels of proficiency must be a participant. And this is perhaps easiest in choral groups.
The third important concept that El Sistema has successfully realized is that learning music and teaching it is a unified, simultaneous process. The moment the young person begins to play they also have an opportunity to pass the knowledge and experience on. The process of having to explain and articulate what you are learning to someone else, only intensifies your own learning. One of El Sistema's greatest triumphs is the integration of mentoring, which sharpens and accelerates the skill at every level, and informs the sense of communal activity. Older players sit with younger ones; the moment you can do something, you share it.
The fourth principle of El Sistema that is universally applicable is that of simplification without reduction. In traditional teaching methods, the core experience is the individual lesson in which music is simplified and reduced to the point of robbing it of its interest. (This is true even in the very successful Suzuki method.) A child encountering a simplified version of a complex piece may fail to perceive what makes it a great piece of music. This is why composers like Bartok and Schumann tried to write music for children with actually intrinsically interesting content; it is preferable to watered down music. Imagine telling child, “I want you to learn Shakespeare’s Hamlet, so I’m going to simplify it. It’s all about an unhappy young guy who dies.” The child might say, “What’s so interesting about an unhappy young guy? I can just look at my older brother. Why should I spend the time worrying about Hamlet?” It is essential to find a way to make the power and mystery and wonder of Mozart, Beethoven, and Mahler palpable to the child as something they can experience by doing. One way is through repertoire that’s specifically written for children, as Bartok and Schumann recognized. Then there is El Sistema's way, which is to have the beginner be a part of the orchestra as it performs the repertoire in its full complexity but to play parts that are suitable to the beginner's level; the parts will gradually become more complex as the student becomes more accomplished. Therefore a student can take part in a full performance of a Shostakovich symphony, hearing and seeing how his or her companions play it, and participate according to the appropriate skill level.
These are the pedagogical achievements that we can take from El Sistema and try to transfer to the American circumstance. This would need to be done, of course, in a context that does not separate public music making from the community. The orchestras, the chorus, the musical activity from the beginning must be public and collective. The primary objective is to put the orchestra to the service of social unification by fostering those qualities that make an orchestra great: its collaboration and mutual understanding. Thus, for example, instead of badgering an orchestra to play in tune, we encourage the members to learn how to play together and find their own way to intonation through the exercise of discipline, social cohesion, and a sense of community. Is it possible to build through music a sense of self worth and a sense of solidarity and a sense of investment in wellbeing? Indeed yes, if it is done publicly with children; parents, neighbors and friends are the spectators so that they become integral parts of the children's experience. That process of education, of intervention into children’s lives, cannot be limited to the school time. It has to be done within school and, as well, after school. It has to be integrated into the whole life of the children and community, seven days a week, of a child and community. And as El Sistema has shown, in this way music ceases to be a function of privilege and wealth, and that group music making can be a deeply successful intervention in communities that are largely excluded from many economic and social privileges.
These are the ideals of the achievement that we must find a way to transfer to the United States. We at the Longy School of Music and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in a program called Take a Stand, ais it that we can learn from the El Sistema experience. So let me turn now to the question of the American circumstance and how it relates to El Sistema. We are fortunate that the idea that music is a democratic social activity and crucial for children, particularly in creating a sense of community and belonging, has an independent American philosophical heritage, and that heritage rests in . The most articulate heir of that tradition is the American composer Charles Ives, whose father was a bandleader. Ives was fond of saying that in a church choir, the most enthusiastic singer who could not sing in tune was, to his father, the most musical person. To correct that person in a way that dampened his or her enthusiasm for singing was to inhibit their music making. Ives felt that the activity rather than the end product was the most important part of music making. The group activities in the 19th century America in which Ives grew up associated with music (the marching bands, choruses, church choirs), performed social functions essential to developing a sense of American citizenship, of being part of a community, and of having democratic respect for your neighbor. We therefore don’t have to reach outside of our own intellectual heritage to find inspiration to adapt what El Sistema has achieved.
One majorhas a genuine problem of scale--the size and pluralism of the nation. We are a nation of immigrants, a huge, disparate population with entirely different circumstances. We are, without question, a more affluent nation, and the nature of our poverty and of our prejudices and exclusions is peculiar to us. It exists in rural America and also in urban America. It overlaps with race, but not entirely.
A second difference is that we have a highly developed and internationally competitive popular culture of our own that has, over the last 50 to 75 years, marginalized classical music. This has resulted in classical music being damaged by those who resisted its democratization; defenders who cherished their presumed superiority, snobs and connoisseurs who have tried to make music seem like a luxury or fine wine that the average person can’t afford. It has become tainted by the impression that learning it is hard and motivated by trying to make an individual look socially better and more elite. Because it has been wiped out by American enthusiasm for sports and popular culture, it has been confined to a narrow sphere of admiration by those who want to consider themselves better than popular culture; classical has therefore lost the prestige that it once carried as a relevant and shared art form somehow representative of the values and aspirations of freedom and a democratic society.
It is not news that America is in the throes of a tremendous sense of crisis about its educational system, particularly among the underserved populations. We have an embarrassingly low high school completion rate. Of the people who complete high school, what they accomplish for the number of years they spend in school is an embarrassment. Our funding of the school system is completely antiquated, and if there is a movement that has resonated with many political factions, it is for the dismantling of public education through privatization--though given how little we invest in public education, which is not considered a federal constitutional obligation in the United States, there is less to dismantle than we might wish. This is tragic. It is completely different from the Venezuelan situation, where in fact Abreu’s achievement has been to convince the state, despite regime changes, to invest in El Sistema as a national program. I defy any of you, as we stand on the so-called fiscal cliff, to persuade anybody right, left, or center to invest in music education. The person who did would be considered a candidate for a psychiatric evaluation. And that is not only because the right wing doesn’t want big government, but also because the left considers high culture to be a peripheral decoration.
The suspicion of the American left to any form of culture that is not mass entertainment indicates a problem we have, which does not seem to exist in Mexico or the Latin American countries. The problem is a peculiar American egalitarian suspicion that the arts are not vital to democracy. Most Americans will not distinguish between art and entertainment. They think that freedom of expression is absolutely and satisfactorily fulfilled by what you can see in the commercial arena: movie theaters and television. If people want to hear Beethoven and Mahler, or John Cage or John Adams, pay for it without public help. As we all know, the tickets to our concerts in this hall and to the Metropolitan Opera or any American orchestra are hardly cheap. But even given this expense, the ticket price still does not pass on the cost of this activity to the average consumer. If you actually took an orchestra concert by the New York Philharmonic and made all the seats of Avery Fisher Hall pay in full for the orchestra's expense, the price would be over a thousand dollars a seat. Even I wouldn’t pay that, and I wouldn’t expect anybody else to do so. Therefore these must be subsidized activities. Not surprisingly, the American public says, “Why should the taxpayer subsidize what you like? I’m perfectly happy listening to the music I like. Why should I have to learn about your music?” This, in a pluralist democracy, is an extremely hard argument to answer. The arts in America are hostages to the whims of the wealthy and private philanthropy.
When we actually try to transfer the insights of El Sistema to the United States, we therefore have to address these issues: funding, the prestige of the activity, the nature of the American educational system (which is not national but local), the intermittent and very complex structure of American poverty, and the essential diversity of the population. So what should we do? First, it seems to me that we actually have a tremendous advantage given the educational crisis. There is no doubt that the biological and neurological evidence increasingly makes the case that musical activity, especially collective musical activity that inspires individual discipline, is a correlative (not a cause, but a correlative) to educational achievement. This is in part because classical music in our tradition is a notated system that has logic, grammar, syntax and meaning without being a language. What’s peculiar about music is that it is coherent, it coveys meaning, and transforms the experience of time. It therefore requires the use of memory and the skill to identify and manipulate comparisons, relationships, similarities, and variations. In other words, it has a cognitive function. It also develops the ability to locate and negotiate multiple activities in the same time frame. (A simple example, of course, would be harmony and counterpoint.) There is no doubt that being able train people to do these things and to listen and observe, has correlative benefits, and that is an argument in the United States to which people are willing to listen. We are concerned about our competitiveness and about the future, and there is no doubt that one could argue that in creating a widespread system of participatory music education among young people, it would improve their schooling and their achievement and cognitive ability. Those are potential claims that could make some headway in obtaining public support.
’s’? What keeps us going? n’t have a bank teller to talk to anymore. We don’ty’re not needed to make food. They’re The question is of course a practical one of employment and economics, as we see all around us, but it is also one of internal value and sense of the human condition.’ It’s? The arts are not an answer (the Nazis were great lovers of art), but in the right circumstances, the arts can offer a different humanist option based in respect and empathy.
But to realize this humanist view, one cannot merely be a spectator. Classical music can't be experienced like a movie in which one sits in a dark place and vicariously experiences emotion through fantastic scenarios that, once we emerge from the cinema, only serve to remind us how drab real life is. Going to most movies (except for horror movies, which are popular precisely because of the sense of relief one feels after watching people get killed, and know we are only watching a movie) offers a passive, illusory use of imagination, a further development of the vicarious experience first provided by novels and plays at the end of the 18th century. Romance genres are the worst. Offering a vision of love and relationships that can't be met in the real world foster a sense not of fulfillment but of discontent. The same thing is true of Wagner's heroes. We can identify with Lohengrin for a few hours, before we go home to do the laundry and reflect on the certainty that we will never have the chance to play a heroic role or feel the passion of Tristan and Isolde. We compare everyone we meet to movie stars until we develop the same problem that Flaubert described in Madame Bovary, in which Emma Bovary looks at her life through the lens of the romantic sentimental novels she has read, and finds terminal unhappiness.
That escapist and disheartening relation to art can be avoided by changing the spectator into the participant. Art as an activity is play: playing in a group, in a community, hearing the feedback of the audience, are all thrilling. It needn't be done with the objective of getting a job with the Berlin Philharmonic (and being told to give up playing if your teacher determines you can't get such a job), but of being a participant in the imaginative activity of a community, anywhere. That is what El Sistema has proven can be done, and can be done with positive impact for both participant individuals and the spectator community.
There’s so much from which to draw outside the standard European repertoire, that these groups can make a contribution in bringing music to life. We're not only getting a youth orchestra or an orchestra to come through the system to play Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, Brahms, but also the treasures that other orchestras might not dare to touch that are from the classical tradition that has been neglected and from the heritage of the nucleo's community, whether it’s Mexican composers such as Chavez or Revueltas, or the Argentinian Ginastera, or in the United States the long, rich repository of repertory of American composers such as Copland, Still, Ellington, Harris and Beach.
In the organizing of this monumental project, the first step in every community is to create an alliance between the school system, the local government, the specific political and business leadership of the region, and the performing arts organizations (whether they be orchestras or choral societies), to involve the varying churches (both Protestant and Catholic) and the non-Christian religious communities. The core tenet is that this must done in a way that is collaborative and which reinforces a sense of a democratic pluralism. It also has to be defined in a way that does not slip into segregation, so we will have to find ways in which the actual constituencies of kids are not all of one neighborhood. That's relatively easy to do in the bigger cities; it’s a little more complicated in rural areas.
In conclusion, what we learn from the success of Maestro Abreu and El Sistema is that music can be made to matter. Music can be placed at the center of a nation’s social and political agenda. It can be placed at the center of a nation’s desire to recreate a fabric of patriotism and community, to give a chance to people who are excluded from proper education and opportunity to develop the skills through music that will make them competitive. It also shows that really honoring musical expression is a way of redeeming a sense of personal value and can have practical impact on the success of a generation and of a community. It's a priority, not a luxury, and the emphasis has to be on participation. El Sistems's example is an enormous encouragement, and therefore it is absolutely proper that we take a very good look at how and what is done in Venezuela, as we attempt to create in the United States versions of what they’ve achieved that will work for us. This is what we have tried to do at Longy and at Bard, in the creation of a national network through Take a Stan Our work isn't about owning a franchise or a product, but it is about paying the greatest compliment we can to El Sistema, which is to imitate and to honor its principles rather than any specific practice. Thank you very much.
We’ll take a few moments for questions, if there are any. I hate giving talks about without giving someone else a chance to speak, so I would be happy to take a few questions before we run out of time. Go ahead.
-You were going through the obstacles and the differences in American society versus in Venezuela. It makes me think that one of the biggest is the role of the individual in each of our societies. The role of the individual in our society is paramount (deified) which is, from my understanding, diametrically opposite to what El Sistema has been able to build on. So I’m thinking about all those parents who haul their kids to afterschool activities that are for their individual development, and how would we ever make the shift to afterschool activities for social development, especially since socialism is an anathema.
I think it’s a very good question. First, I can’t speak for Venezuela. I speak to the American experience. The focus on individual competitiveness and achievement is not irreconcilable with group activity, because you have to achieve in a group. An orchestra is a very peculiar instrument. It’s an instrument that could be an instrument of subordination (that is to say, everybody has to subordinate his or her artistic individuality to the conductor, and you hope the conductor is good, because if the subordination is obnoxious it breeds rage). However, the orchestra doesn’t necessarily have to be that, and that’s where the mentoring is very helpful. Much depends on the way a conductor treats an orchestra. For example, in an orchestra you have to have a sense of rhythmic cohesion and ensemble. Ensemble is not only created by hawk-like watching of the conductor, but it is formed by listening to the people around you in the acoustic space, so that the back of the orchestra plays a little early so it can line up with the front of the orchestra. In that, you have to rely on the orchestral musicians’ sense of their own ability to control the situation. So you can train an orchestra and a chorus to feel that the sum is greater than the parts but the parts are crucial. I don’t accept the notion that individual instruction is at odds with the group, especially in music, because the amount of repertoire for solo tuba is limited, and the amount of repertoire even for solo violin is limited (without accompanist), so the moment you make music you’re talking about a social activity and social communication. Second, in America the premium on the individual is hypocritical, because we have freedom and the chance to attain individuality we never use. We use it to look like our neighbor. Actually, all this talk about individuality drives me nuts, because where are truly distinctive individuals? The moment we see the individual, we ostracize her, shun him, hurl epithets and even lock him up. We don’t tolerate a sense of individuality in America (not at all). The American school is all too much about conformity. You know, when we came to this country, the school called my mother, a professor of pediatrics (they made a mistake in calling her), and said that my sister failed to join the group and they were concerned. My mother said, “What was the group doing?” And when she heard what they were doing she said, “I’m on my daughter’s side.”
So Americans use freedom actually to voluntarily suppress real dissent and individuality. I’m being overly cynical. I wouldn’t be too concerned about individuality, because I think that in the training of musicians your point is very important. The training of musicians has to involve several things. One is not only playing together in an ensemble but also finding means of personal expression, being able to write music and improvise. All classical musicians need to be trained to improvise. So the experience of being in the group, and having the same technical capacity are crucial, and that’s why teaching the reading of music and the writing of music are so important. Therefore, then, the same individual who may spend three or four hours being part of an ensemble can use those very same skills for something that is her or his own. So I think this is not a problem. And the way you sell this to the public is that, unlike some group activities, musical achievement can’t be taken away from you. In fact, that’s something you can sustain individually. One reason I never was interested in doing sports is I realized that even if I were good at it (which was implausible), I would be finished at 21. I mean, who are the tennis stars? This is a youth-related activity. But when you watch films of Artur Rubinstein or Casals going out onstage (let alone Mieczyslaw Horszowski, who gave a concert at 99), I thought, “Now, that’s worthwhile. I can amortize my youthful effort over my entire life. So it’s a much more attractive investment, if you want to put it in American terms, an investment that keeps giving.
-I’m aware of El Sistema having been replicated in, for example, Glasgow in Scotland, which is an incredibly deprived community, and where they had a considerable degree of success. My question is, have you had the opportunity to observe other examples of El Sistema being replicated with success, and what are their main points?
The questioner speaks of a replication of El Sistema in Scotland. Let me say something, which for those of you who are real El Sistema devotes may be a little bit heretical, but I’m just by nature a bit heretical, so I apologize ahead of time. I don’t know the details of the Glasgow program, but I would suggest that Scotland and Venezuela in many respects (both by scale and by the nature of the population) may have similarities that would make a direct transference more plausible. El Sistema, like all good ideas, has a history of its own that precedes it. What we are all talking about—music as a participant activity-- is something that was second natururban communities, Vienna of the 1820s or London in the mid-19th century. In this city alone (New York) there were at the turn of the century maybe 200 choral societies and hundreds of musical ensembles in the community that did exactly what El Sistema is trying to do, and that represented a tradition that got eroded by the advent of mechanical reproduction of sound. Our life was silent if we didn’t make the music ourselves. We stopped singing when you could just drop first the needle on a disc, and earlier when we had the first player pianos. The death of the piano as a consumer item was when the first rolls were introduced. So we actually mechanized our own entertainment. What you’re reviving has a human history before El Sistema, and El Sistema is just a way of organizing it so that it’s more connected to modern life and concerns. The other difference, of course, is that when music as practice is targeted at poverty or underserved populations it is undermining privilege, where in the 19th century access to real music education was a function of wealth. And that’s where the radical democratic potential exists. But you were asking, have I observed other examples? There are many examples in the world where this kind of musical activity has still sustained, primarily in choral music where traditions of choral singing (particularly church related) have passed on from generation to generation unbroken.
-You made the point that training in music adds all kinds of important skills: focus, social skills, listening, and then the transference of those to other academic aspects. You discount them to some extent by referring to them only as correlational. The question is whether we could do, or there has been done, something more akin to what one would call a closed experiment, if for no better reason than to drive a more compelling argument.
The questioner asked a very seductive question. I made the argument about the transferability, which is (in my judgment) not a matter of scholarship but a matter of intuition. I would prefer to ride a train with a musical individual than someone who’s tone deaf. It’s just intuitive. Now, it doesn’t make musical people better. Stalin was musical, and Hitler was a great music lover, and the Nazis were notoriously enthusiastic about music. So the link between music and ethics is a very tortured subject. I would like to think that musical activity has some relationship to ethical judgment (I would hope so), but I’m dissuaded from thinking that is the case. So the question is better narrowly focused on the cognitive and social skills. There have been some controlled experiments. There was a cognitive study (a long-range, longitudinal study) of the young people who were in the choir in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. That’s the same boys’ choir from Bach’s time that is still in existence, a great boys’ choir, and they showed real correlative results. A similar finding occurred (the same longitudinal study, I think) with the Sängerknaben in Vienna, where children in a boys’ choir were followed to see how well they do in school. And there are a lot of neurologists and neuroscientists working on this. But that’s not my field. I’m a little cautious because I don't think we yet know enough about mental function. I’m reluctant to suggest a causal argument. But a social adaptation argument, which isn’t totally causal but simply experiential, seems very worthwhile. And I think there’s a lot of anecdotal evidence that can’t be dismissed. For example, Csikszentmihalyi, a tremendous social psychologist wrote a very interesting book called Flow, and he did a longitudinal study of adolescents in Chicago and showed that adult performance is correlated with the amount of time the person was able to concentrate on something without being connected to clock time. You know what happens when you practice. Rehearsal’s really boring. Time just creeps, and you think an hour has gone by but only ten minutes have gone by. The other experience is the opposite: it’s so engrossing that you wake up and you realize, “Oh my god, I’m late. An hour has passed and I just thought it was ten minutes.” So the distortion of concentration of time through the process of concentration on music is correlative to discipline. The ability to do that in adolescents is correlative to adult achievement. That’s what we musicians train people to do: to concentrate intelligently. So there is some social psychological evidence that we are on solid ground here, and because music is analogous to a language, it breeds good habits. And unlike painting, it’s social. It’s not about creating an object and someone else buying it. You have to do music in real time as we live in real time. (We have to work together in real time. We have to travel on the subway in real time. We have to do everything in real time.) Music is done in real time. It’s not about connecting to recordings. It’s about musical experience in real life and time. So there’s so much correlation (parallelism) to other facets of life and work that the argument for music is very persuasive. And what Venezuela shows is that they have real results in this way with El Sistema alumni over 40 years. There’s no reason we can’t have real results her in the US, and Lord knows, we need to have them. Thank you very much. |

en | N/A | N/A | Home » C++ » Why isn't C++ used in Web-Development? [closed]
But when it comes to web development JavaEE is being used. Whereas C++ has little support on that?
C++ is fast.
So why it isn’t used in web development?
Oftentimes the possibly faster execution speed of C++ doesn’t matter since the bottleneck is the database and network I/O.
So the benefits from ease / speed of development, safety (really sucks when your web app core dumps), and availability of frameworks will outweigh execution speed gains for many applications.
C++ may be fast in execution speed, but Java, C#, PHP, etc are faster in time to market.
IMHO, it’s all about the tool chain. Java, Ruby, etc. have mature tool chains for web development. The tools make development faster in most cases. There are some environments for C++ but none have widespread usage. The other major reason for this is that most of the newer languages are developed for application development first and general purpose computing second.
I’d go with Karl Voigtland’s answer (though I like Dan Diplo’s too) but I wanted to add that I personally work for a company where speed is everything (in a comparable to google kind of way) and I still wouldn’t use C++ for the web-app because the performance difference would be absolutely negligible, especially compared to the I/O bottleneck and network latency which is the real problem anyway.
C++ costs you a standard, well-documented, widely used framework (whichever one that happens to be) which makes up an enormous chunk of the work you’d have to replicate, and puts you firmly into the territory of crashing your server if something goes wrong.
So much effort and so much risk for no gain whatsoever. C++ is a weapon for an older more civilised age, it’s not for the web.
I once worked on a extremely high-performance web site done in C++ with a custom framework. We weren’t using Apache–we had a domain-specific web server that could serve our special content fast and efficiently that was hand-coded in C++.
This server processed requests that came in from what was, at the time, the highest rated prime-time television show. (The host would say “log in to ……com to play along). Instantly, 100,000 or more people would be pounding the server. One ordinary PC was able to handle the load, but we had 3 running, just in case one went down, etc.
Fact is, the systems we use for Web development now are extremely wasteful. We’re trading CPU cycles for ease of maintainability.
Take a look at architectures like <URL> which are extremely fast web servers.
If you’d ever had to develop a web application in C++ you’d know why. Basically, there is nothing approaching the frameworks that .NET, Java or PHP have nor is there anything web-specific like ROR or Django.
Web development is full of people who got where they are from editing HTML, and has far fewer people who got there from C++, or C. The tendency then for most of these web developers, is to select simpler languages with garbage collection, that prioritise quick results over performance. C++ is really really not a langauge like that.
But that’s only a superficial reading. Mostly it’s about fashion.
I’m building a browser game in C++, and yes, some parts definitively suck (such as using FastCGI, which does not support multiple connections at once, unless you’re implementing your own FastCGI-Handler, CGI even worse, SCGI doesn’t support multiplexing either (but is a charm to implement) and using a custom server API isn’t portable), however, once you have the environment set up, developing isn’t that difficult.
For example, the following code prints out all cookies:
for( map<string,string>::const_iterator it=data[cookie].begin(); it!=data[cookie].end(); ++it)
cout << "<b>" << it->first << "</b>: " << it->second << "<br>\n";
Or, if you want to design web applications as you would with Qt, take a look at Wt, which reduces the pain of developing C++-Webapplications to the manual memory management.
I think the answer has more to do with history than anything else.
C++ was created for tasks like systems programming long before web development existed. Since it has long adhered to ISO standards, the language itself avoids solving specific problem domains.
As far as web development goes, C++ was steamrolled by Java and everything else that came after that had web development tools baked in.
But C++ is a tenacious little beast, due to (IMHO) its powerful combination of efficiency and elegance. You typically have to look beyond C++ into libraries when you are talking about fairly high-level functionality like web development. C++’s first-class library, boost, has low-level well-designed peer-reviewed multithreaded networking tools (boost::asio). Simple http client and server examples are already provided and will grow and stabilize.
I think C++ is on the upswing in this area, given that it started working up from last place.
UPDATE: here is an example of the strict review process before anything will be accepted into boost (in this case, rejection of a process library). And as you can imagine, the review process to actually get into the C++ standard is going to be much much higher. There is a definite intention to keep the scope of C++ (and boost) tight and rock-solid.
C++ used to be a common language for web development. At the time, however, there were few viable alternatives. Languages such as C# and Java are designed for application development instead of being general purpose, so they’re a better choice for web apps.
Some of you need to research the concept: Resource Acquisition Is Initialization. Additionally, I haven’t had a coredump writing modern C++ code in …. years? C++ is probably out of vogue because it’s designed to be a portable machine code language that compiles on many architectures. Thus, no standard networking or threading libraries, and this goes up the chain to web framework.
When the web first came out speed wasn’t a big deal. We ran the servers on Unix machines that had more than enough power to fill a 10Mb ethernet. The handfull of users were on dialup and the sites were mostly text.
So we used Perl, just because it was easy to do string manipulation, some of us even used TCL (shudder).
By the time the web took off enough to need bigger more complex systems the dynamic languages had got better and came with lots of helpful libs (especially Perl). Then business bought into Java in a big way – Sun actually managed to market something!.
There’s no reason we couldn’t have all the web features of Java / C# in C++ but the libs weren’t developed or never gained wide traction.
There was a lot of web development in C++ but it was generally in custom web servers for very high performance tasks.
I am a C++ developer who first moved to Java (Scala) and then moved partially back to C++11.
A few reasons why C++ isn’t widely used for web development:
Security: Interpreters and “managed” languages (e.g. JVM) provide a kind of protection against bugs that would result in execution of malignant code: buffer overflows, memory corruption, etc. Every large program have bugs, but in Java these bugs would only rarely lead to a cracker taking control of your site. In C++ it is too easy to make a mistake (or use a library which made mistake) that leads to the system been cracked. This “flaw” in “system” programming languages is now mitigated by availability of simple system firewalls, like AppArmor. I set an AppArmor profile for all C/C++ programs of mine and I wouldn’t have returned to C++ if such system firewalls weren’t available.
Ease of development: C++ only recently acquired automatic memory management (shared_ptr), anonymous functions, for loops, type inference, etc. The modern C++11 is a decent language but the old C++ was much harder to develop in than the alternatives.
Too much diversity: in Java there is a standard way of doing web development (Sevlets), in C++ one has to find one’s way between different libraries and frameworks by trial and error. The path to a good combination of libraries might in C++ take many years.
For one thing, the java and C# libraries/frameworks are much, much bigger than C++. “Standard” C++ has almost nothing interesting for web development. THe standard C++ library does not even have the slightest thing related to network, threading or portable file system access. I doubt C++ speed is much of a factor: java and C# are generally as fast as C++ in server settings (where you can use the full JIT capabilities of the runtimes, because starting times and co are of no concern).
Because the C++ is hard to learn.
For every type of job you need an appropriate tool. It is possible to drive a nail into a board by hitting it with a pair of pliers, but a hammer is much better suited for it.
Because Web development involves a lot of HTML. In the old days of Java, there was only Servlet and this was counterproductive. So they invented JSP.
C++ is even worse than Servlet from that viewpoint.
And in the very old days Assembly Guys did pretend C++ was lame and that using Assembly Languages was much better so your question pertains to the same kind of perspective.
because I would want to jump out the window every morning I would come to work.
Agreed that frameworks are important and solve a LOT of typical problems for you. c++ won’t have those frameworks for you. Also, you may be optimizing performance at one level but this may not lead to the most optimal solution. DB access time is, with a larger site, likely a much larger concern and one that’s most likely worth worrying more about than your application execution time.
Also, you’re talking about web development where things change quickly. c++ is not the language of choice in this field and you’d be left standing still trying to catch up with the rest of the crowd that plays well together.
Stick with the crowd, use what’s out there. Don’t optimize locally. You’re better off.
Imagine you need a site. There is two options available to you:
1. Pay x amount of money and develop a site within y amount of time using .net/java/python/ruby/ect.
2. Pay xn amount of money and develop within ym amount of time using C++ (FastCGI). Wheres n and m are 3-5+. What would you prefer?
Another reason is that is a lot easier to write subtly insecure code (buffer overruns etc) in C++ than in languages with proper bounds checking that abstract raw memory away from the developer. C++ requires a great deal more skill to use safely than the alternatives.
C++ is not very handy for web development, because the programmer has to take into account that objects are destructed properly. In languages like C# and JAVA there is no need to create destructors, because instantiated objects only live in a certain scope. So in a pratical way you could say languages like C# and JAVA are more useful for web applications than C++. |

Popular TV show by with original title first aired on . All episodes of Vikings season 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 can be downloaded free without torrents.
The series “Vikings” tells about the life of the famous Ragnar Lodbrock. The honest fighter sincerely tried to direct the forces of his brothers to the conquests of the western territories off the coast of England, but the leader of the Vikings, Yarl Haraldson, was inexorable. He again led the soldiers who were loyal to him to the east along the already known trails. Then Ragnar had to assemble a small detachment of adherents of his views, who built a reliable fast ship.
A successful campaign brought a lot of riches, but did not improve the relationship between the yarl and Ragnar. Haraldson fears that Lodbroke will try to take his place, because the authority of the latter in the people is growing. People praise Ragnar for his courage, and then the visionary tells the jarl that a talented general can overthrow him. Their confrontation turns into a victory for the impudent, young Viking. Now Ragnar leads an entire army of mighty warriors.
Despite the doubts of his people, he is intent on continuing his wanderings. Thanks to a new friend, Catholic Ethelston, the protagonist learns about Paris, London and other European cities. He intends to capture each of them, but does not take his wife to Lagerta on a trip. In distant lands, Ragnar gets an affair with Aslaug, not suspecting that she will become pregnant.
The great warrior has to take her as his second wife, with which the legal wife of Lagerta categorically disagrees. She leaves her husband, taking with her Bjorn. Many years later, the matured heir will become a reliable support for the valiant parent. And Lagerta herself, after marrying the detractor of the former beloved Sigvard and killing him, helps Lodbrook become the king of Denmark.
A few years later, the numerous Scandinavian troops decided on a desperate campaign against the inaccessible lands of France. Paris – the goal of the victorious Varangian. The siege of the city lasted a lot of time, both sides suffered significant losses. However, even the march to freedom-loving France for Ragnar became victorious. The sly plan of the famous leader contributed to the seizure of Paris. During negotiations with the Franks, he expressed the desire to accept the enemy’s faith.
Vikings increasingly notice the changes in their yarl. Ragnar, who used to praise Odin, now speaks more and more like a European, and now he intends to accept another’s faith. Realizing that everything that is happening is the work of Etelstan, Floki, one of the faithful companions of Ragnar. Prepares a plan for revenge. Clouds thicken over the main character, but his business to conquer the world can always continue children. |

If you are running behind on something at work or there is a glitch in a plan, write a note to the affected party, or better yet give them a call. This breeds trust, and it shows you care.

Ask questions. Of your colleagues, your kids, your mate, your friends, strangers, God. Listen to what they have to say. This helps you learn and grow, and it shows you care.
Write. Talk about your feelings with yourself. Keep a journal, or try a technique like Natalie Goldberg’s “Writing Down the Bones.”

This process requires much more sophisticated chemical analysis and, although other processes have been developed, often utilizes the decay rates of radioactive isotopes to determine the age of a given material.Prior to 1905 the best and most accepted age of the Earth was that proposed by Lord Kelvin based on the amount of time necessary for the Earth to cool to its present temperature from a completely liquid state.Although we now recognize lots of problems with that calculation, the age of 25 my was accepted by most physicists, but considered too short by most geologists. Recognition that radioactive decay of atoms occurs in the Earth was important in two respects: Principles of Radiometric Dating Radioactive decay is described in terms of the probability that a constituent particle of the nucleus of an atom will escape through the potential (Energy) barrier which bonds them to the nucleus.U leakage would cause discordant points to plot above the cocordia. Lunar rocks also lie on the Geochron, at least suggesting that the moon formed at the same time as meteorites. Pb separated from continents and thus from average crust also plots on the Geochron, and thus suggests that the Earth formed at the same time as the meteorites and moon.But, again, exptrapolation of the discordia back to the two points where it intersects the Concordia, would give two ages - t* representing the possible metamorphic event and t and solve for t . This argument tells when the elements were formed that make up the Earth, but does not really give us the age of the Earth. Thus, our best estimate of the age of the Earth is 4.55 billion years.

en | N/A | N/A | Who has rights to home sale in a separation?
If a couple going through a divorce are co-owners of their home, both will have to agree to list it for sale. (Bill Sikes / AP)
Q
And your wife should do the same, with a different attorney. You need to enter into a separation agreement, that will spell out what obligations you may have regarding the house, any children and any financial issues.
Have you been making contributions for the upkeep of the house, such asand repairs? That will be an important issue if and when the house is put up for sale. Your wife will properly be able to claim reimbursement for at least half of the expenses (going back at least three years) if you have not made any payments.
Right now, if I understand correctly, you and your wife are co-owners of the house. This means both of you will have to agree to list it for sale. If your wife wants to sell, and you do not, she can try to force a sale by filing a partition suit in your local county or city court.
But partition is expensive, time consuming and the only winners are the attorneys and the speculators who buy. That is why you both need to resolve all of these issues with a written separation agreement.

Note the word "exclusive." If the room you use for business is also used for watching football or as a play area for the kids, then you cannot claim the deduction.
How exclusive does the room have to be? The Tax Court was faced with a taxpayer who lived in a 700-square-foot studio apartment where — by necessity — there was minimal personal use of an area designated as the "office area." The court reversed the IRS' decision denying the deduction. The small amount of personal use was "" (Miller v Commissioner, TC Summary Opinion 2014-74).
Once you are satisfied you meet the requirements, how do you calculate the deduction. There are two ways: 1) you must determine the actual expenses, and base thatYou have to complete IRS Form 8829, which has 43 line items to complete. 2) As of Jan. 1, 2013, the IRS adopted the "simplified option." According to the IRS commissioner, the first way was a burden on small businesses "by an estimated 1 million hours annually." The new option allows a deduction of up to $1500 a year, For more information, search "Simplified Option Home Office" online.
Q: Can a mortgage lender make you pay a fee to close the escrow account? Is it legal for the lender to increase your mortgage after deducing money for escrow?
A. I am always happy to answer mortgage lender questions. But there is a better place to go, ande your complaint on their website, and the bureau sends it directly to your lender. From my experience, you should get a prompt response. Go to www.consumerfinance.gov.
I don't like escrow accounts. The lenders like it because they get lots of money — interest free in most states — which they can invest until its time to pay your real estate tax and your home insurance premium. I have had many cases over the years where the lender failed to pay the tax and my clients first learned about it when they received notice that the government was about to sell the house at a tax sale.
If you pay off the loan, the escrow will be closed and the lender will refund any balance in the account. Typically, a lender will charge a small fee for processing the required release documentation, so there should be no extra fee for closing the escrow account. However, if you are able to convince a lender there is so much equity in your house that you no longer need to escrow, then I think it is appropriate for the lender to charge a small fee to close the account.
Can the lender increase your mortgage? Yes, if you are delinquent in your monthly payments and the lender was paying the real estate tax and your insurance. Those amounts can legitimately be added to your mortgage balance. This will be authorized in the deed of trust (or mortgage) document you signed when you first obtained the loan.
One issue always comes up when the real estate tax is increased. Your tax escrow is based on the amount of the annual tax and insurance that is paid. Clearly, if the lender now has to pay more, that amount will be passed on to you in higher monthly payments. However, the lender has an obligation to give you a clear, concise explanation, and you have an obligation to carefully review it to confirm it is correct. Again, from experience, there are mistakes.
Q: I am experiencing the exact situation you wrote about recently. I purchased my house in November 2011, and paid the back payments for one association. Almost 4 four years later, in May 2015, I received a bill from a different association stating I had not paid the mandatory association fees for those four years. What? I was shocked! This association was not disclosed at closing, and I had no idea there were two associations. I also purchased this house through HUD. I am not sure what to do. Who is now responsible to pay for all these 4 four years of unpaid dues, and who pays for these dues going forward? Is it my closing attorney, the title insurance or me? Who can I sue?
A: Check with a local ypically, it is three years. You may be able avoid paying any amount that goes beyond that period of time.
I doubt you can sue HUD. I would suggest you immediately file a claim with the title company that issued you a title insurance policy. You may also want to talk with the closing attorney. If he represented you, then he should have reviewed the title report before you went to closing and disclosed the existence of the two associations.
However, if the second association did not record anything on land records, then you may not have to pay any back assessments.
Going forward is a different situation. If the second association is legal, then you will have to pay current and future assessments. Would you have purchased your home had you known there were two associations? I suspect the answer is yes.

en | N/A | N/A | Merriam-Webster defines "tradition" as "an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior". Typically a tradition is passed down from one generation to the next, but it can also simply be something that is repeated over time.
Even the most basic tradition can help to elicit a sense of security, belonging, and fond memories. Those were my intentions when I created Christmas traditions for my three children.
Currently, the majority of our Christmas traditions are centered around travel. Curious about how other families celebrate, I asked some of my closest friends to share their Christmas traditions with us. They've shared some from their childhoods, and some that they do today. All together I've compiled 15+ Great Ideas for Christmas Traditions to help give you some inspiration to create your own.

This one is too easy. The MOST common Christmas Tradition is getting a Christmas Tree. Your Christmas tradition might have something to do with when you put up your tree, like the day after Thanksgiving for some people. It might be about when you take down your tree, like maybe on New Years Day. It could be the type of decorations you use for your tree.
For us, one of our traditions was that we ALWAYS got a real Christmas tree. I tried to get a fake tree once a few years ago, but my children INSISTED that we couldn't because it was "our tradition" to get a real tree. They were right. I never had a fake tree as a child and neither would they.
Picking out our tree in 2020
When I was a kid my parents would buy chestnuts at Christmas time and we would eat roasted chestnuts late at night. I've done this with my children a number of times. It's not because we love roasted chestnuts. (Honestly they can be dry and not THAT exciting, but as an adult I've found that they are perfect with some wine.)
The truth is that I just love the memory of eating them as a kid. It was always fun to watch my dad open them and wonder how he could possibly touch those hot chestnuts like that! My dad was born in Italy where they sell chestnuts on the street. When I took my children to Rome we HAD to give the street chestnuts a try! At Christmas time when we are home we roast them in the oven.
* For a recipe for oven roasted chestnuts that you can make at home click HERE. *
This is my FAVORITE out of the 15+ Great Ideas for Christmas Traditions. I started this when my children were very little. First, I simply bought cheap red bows from the dollar store and I put them into a bowl. Then, every time I would catch one of my children doing something kind for someone else I would tell them that they could put one of the kindness bows on the tree.
I just wanted to find ways to help them focus on OTHERS during a season that commercially inundates you with focusing on things YOU want. On Christmas day you can all sit back and look at the tree that is FILLED with acts of kindness. It's heart warming!🥰

Most people enjoy eating Christmas baked goods! My mother always made Christmas cookie trays as gifts. We each had our favorite cookie that we looked forward to her making every year.
As they got older, my children liked to make some sort of baked goods as gifts. They have made cookies, fudge, mason jar gifts, and candid nuts (which are SUPER easy to make). Pinterest is an EXCELLENT resource for these recipes and gift ideas.
* Here are a few of my Pinterest boards and recipes that we use to make Christmas food gifts. *
These were Ninjabread Man Cookies we made one year for fun.
If you have children then you know they have a REALLY hard time waiting to open presents. On Christmas Eve it's not unusual for them to beg to open "just ONE" gift. I did it as a child too.
This started a tradition in our home. Every Christmas Eve I let them each open one gift. That gift is always going to be pajamas. (At some point it turned into matching pajamas.) Since they are excited about the new pajamas, they will want to wear them right away and then you will have picture perfect outfits ready for Christmas morning photos. (Kinda tricky and kinda genius, I know!)
This is when the tradition started.
6) Candlelight Church Service on Christmas Eve
Ever since I was young I have gone to a Christmas Eve church service. My children have enjoyed carrying on this tradition with me. During the service we all get a candle and the person at the end of the isle has their candle lit first. Then they use their candle to light the person's candle next to them. This continues until the entire sanctuary is filled with lit candles and singing. It's a tradition that is special to my children and me. Even is we are traveling on Christmas Eve we still find a local church so we can go to the candlelight service.
7) Christmas Tree Ornaments
Every year I buy a Christmas ornament for each of my children. Sometimes it's just completely random and fun, and other times it's related to a theme for one of their Christmas presents.
For example, one year one of their gifts was a trip to Great Wolf Lodge Water Park. So... one of the ornaments that year was Santa who was all ready to go to the beach. Usually I let them open their ornaments on Christmas Eve too.
8) Operation Christmas Child
Operations Christmas Child is run by an organization called Samaritan's Purse. This is an international relief organization that collects shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies and then distributes them to children in need. The children who receive these shoeboxes have been affected by war, famine, poverty, or some natural disaster.
My children always enjoyed shopping for their "Christmas Child" and filling the shoebox for them. It was one of the ways that I tried to help them focus on others, instead of just thinking about what they wanted at Christmas. This year I was able to purchase and fill our shoebox virtually. It really was just as fun to do it online as it is to shop and fill it in person.
* If you would like information on how to get involved with Operation Christmas Child click HERE. This year you can even fill a shoebox online.*
9) Travel for Christmas
As my children have gotten older, they have less of a desire to receive "things" for Christmas. Since my middle son, Maverick, has joined the Air Force we have started a new family tradition of taking a trip at Christmas time so we can all be together. This is our only family vacation that we take each year, and we all enjoy the gift of making memories together. The trip is my gift to them, so I scale back the presents to just filling a stocking for each of them. You can't put a price tag on lifetime memories.
Up until now we have taken our Christmas trips within the United States. I'm hoping to start seeing how other countries celebrate Christmas too.

*TIP: When I travel I use either Booking.com or Agoda to book my flights and hotel. They are companies that I know and trust. If you are planning a trip, click the links below so you can receive the same excellent service that I have come to count on.
10) Chinese and Movies
Since we travel at Christmas we don't have a traditional Christmas dinner. We are so grateful that Chinese restaurants are open on Christmas day, because it's the only place we can eat when we are traveling.
We also know that the movie theaters are open on Christmas Day, so if we are out of town then the movies are our "go to" activity!
11) Seeing Christmas Lights
I asked some of my closest friends to tell me about traditions that have been meaningful to them. My friend, Andrene, said that when she was a child she would drive around Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania and look at the Christmas Lights. This year we took our daughters to go and see the lights in the Lehigh Valley. You're never too old to enjoy Christmas lights!
12) Creating Christmas Crafts
Some years I have created Christmas cards. Recently my friends and I made Christmas cards to send to people who are in the active military. It's fun to make the crafts together and it helps to remind our service men and women that we appreciate their service.
My friend Andrene started a new tradition this year of creating Christmas ornaments with her children. The cool thing about her tradition is that one day when the children are grown and they have their own home, they will each have some childhood ornaments to start out with.
* If you would like more information on sending Christmas cards to our men and women in the active military click HERE! The link is for the Facebook group Operation Birthday Hug, but the form for joining the Christmas list is in this group as well. *
Sometimes a Christmas decoration is part of the Christmas tradition. You might remember me previously mentioning my friend Susanne who I went to Virginia Beach with this past year. When I asked her about her childhood traditions she told me that her father would set up a very elaborate train display under their Christmas tree each year. Her father passed away when she was a teenager, but she holds this childhood tradition as a fond memory. Don't underestimate the impact that a tradition you create can have on people you love. 🚂
My favorite Christmas decorations are the ornaments that I collect when I travel. I started collecting them in 2015 when I went to Paris. Now I have ornaments from ALL over and it is my FAVORITE part about decorating for Christmas. I'm hoping that my children will continue this tradition as they to travel. One day they will have Christmas trees filled with ornaments from all over the world.
14) The Magic of Christmas
My childhood best friend, Danielle, is the BEST at creating Christmas magic for her children! She has always gone to great lengths to help her children believe in Santa. Danielle has special wrapping paper for the gifts from Santa. She even goes so far as to create Santa's "snowy footprints" in front of her fireplace. (I think she uses baking four.)
She also participated in all the fun with the Elf on the Shelf. I never heard of the Elf when my children were young. I've seen many of my friends on Facebook get REALLY creative with their elves. Children seem to LOVE all the fun that their mischievous elves get into. They've come out with different outfits and even pets for the elves. You can select a boy or a girl elf and you even have options for eye color and skin tone.
* Click HERE to purchase your Elf on the Shelf. *
I mentioned my dear friends, Monica and Mark, in my post about the Historic Triangle in Virginia. When they first met, sixteen years ago, Mark bought Monica a snowman knickknack. He has been buying her a snowman every year ever since. ☃
Mark doesn't give them to her on Christmas Day. He gives her the snowmen randomly, sometimes when he feels like she could really use some cheering up. Occasionally the snowman is related to a theme, like the cowboy one from their trip to Montana. She proudly displays her snowmen all winter long, as they remind her of the number of years they have been together.
Holiday traditions don't have to be elaborate or complicated! One of my amazing longtime friends, Abbey, has 4 children. Her Christmas traditions are centered around the food that her family eats on Christmas Day. Since they eat very healthy the majority of the time, on Christmas morning each of her children get to pick out a "fun" cereal for breakfast. They pick things like Fruity Pebbles, Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Their Christmas starts with the children each eating their desired cereal.
Abbey's husband works for the military and he travels frequently. She is quite busy with 4 children and she does a lot of volunteer work so she tries to make the Christmas meal as stress free as possible. Abbey makes hors d'oeuvres for everyone to pick at whenever they want to. That way she doesn't have the pressure of preparing a big special holiday meal. Her goal is to keep the day low key at home so they can focus on the true meaning of Christmas together as a family.
17) Yearly Ornament Traditions
My friend, Michelle, has a tradition that she has held for FIFTY-FIVE YEARS! It's probably the longest tradition of anyone that I know. Since she was a child each year she got an ornament. The ornaments have her name and the year on them. It started when she was a child and she has kept up the tradition after she was grown. When she met her husband Allen, she started him on the tradition as well. They have been together for 18 years so he has 18 ornaments of his own. She has a beautiful tree that is FILLED with their special ornaments from a lifetime of collecting.

en | N/A | N/A | Description: Trail.
Walking and cycling on the Gardiners Creek Trail just got safer thanks to Leadsun’s ‘next-generation’ smart shared path light systems installed throughout the Gardiners Creek Trail in Ashburton, Melbourne.
The Gardiners Creek Trail is used by more than 2000 cyclists and 1000 pedestrians every day and the Boroondara City Council wanted to make it as safe as possible. With this in mind, overhead smart shared path light systems have been installed where the path winds through Markham Reserve as well as a small section at Solway Bridge.
The project has utilised Leadsun’s latest LED innovation which provides outstanding lumen performance and a ‘controlled’ lighting footprint which distributes light directly and evenly onto the pathway without any spill light. The project also utilises a unique lowerable lighting column (www.ezypole.com) which allows the lighting system to be easily lowered to ground level by one person, this has great benefit when the solar panels need to be periodically cleaned.
Council believes the improved safety will lead to an increase in the number of commuter and recreational shared path users on the Gardiners Creek Trail. |

en | N/A | N/A | Did your organization suffer a data breach last year?
Across all industries, information security needs to be a priority – but unfortunately, it often isn’t given adequate attention. Organizations put themselves, and their stake holders, at risk when they use software that provides improper protection.
Could you imagine what would happen if a law firm, for example, didn’t use a secure file and information sharing platform?
But as this infographic shows, many companies had severe data breaches in 2014.
In terms of the sheer amount of lost records, eBay suffered the largest data breach of 2014. Between late February and early March, hackers stole information about emails and addresses from the e-commerce company.
They did it by compromising employee accounts, which let them access eBay’s corporate network.
Fortunately, users didn’t lose any financial or credit card information. In the interest of securing sensitive information, eBay keeps that data in separate encrypted formats.
The company also said there was no evidence of fraudulent account activity. PayPal, its online payment service, was also left unscathed.
Unfortunately for eBay, the breach took a toll on its reputation and stock prices. A share of the company, which now stands at more than $60 on the NASDAQ, fell as low as $48.25.
JPMorgan Chase didn’t lose as much information as eBay. But in July, hackers obtained data that was considerably more sensitive. As the largest bank in the United States, it has financial records in its computer systems that go beyond credit card details.
Though JPMorgan Chase denied it, hackers could have accessed social security numbers.
How did the hackers do it? Stationed overseas, they learned which applications and programs JPMorgan Chase’s computers use. After researching known vulnerabilities, they entered almost 100 of the bank’s servers.
Thankfully, there was no evidence of fraud involving stolen information in the end.
But the bank still suffered considerable damage. At the time, people close to the investigation said it would take months to change programs and applications, as well as negotiate new deals with technology suppliers. The long process cost money, resources, and customers’ confidence.
Hackers attacked Home Depot in September, targeting customer data. The Atlanta-based home repair retailer lost information about debit and credit cards used at stores in Canada and the United States.
As well as information security strategies, public relations efforts fell short. Banks announced there was evidence of stolen payment cards at Home Depot stores before the company formally explained the situation.
Home Depot then took 10 days to eliminate malware from its computer networks. This created an opening for hackers to steal more information, though it seems the number of stolen records stopped at 56 million.
Hackers used the Russian-developed BlackPOS malware, which was also behind cyber-attacks against retailers Target and Neiman Marcus.
These data breaches illustrate an important point: even large, multinational corporations are prone to information security issues.
Take them as an example of what not to do. Devote enough resources to data protection, and you’ll hopefully enjoy a safe 2015.

description: "Reviews for modules taken in my second semester in NUS"
> AY17/18 Semester 2
First semester switching to CS, I avoided the Mathematics modules to give myself a break. I was pretty scarred from MA1102R Calculus, but I'm still intending to take some mathematics modules.
Nothing much to say for this semester because these are mostly compulsory. For CS2107, you get introduced to different topics in computer security and some basic CTF challenges. I didn't learn many new things, but I would say that for absolute beginners to the field it's a low-risk way to see if computer security studies is for you.

We present ISOCAM images (1.5 " px-1) in the LW2 (6.75 µm) and LW3 (15 µm) broad band filters of the circumnuclear starburst of NGC 4321 (M 100). A detailed comparison with the emission at other wavelengths (U, B, H , and CO) is also presented. The nature and intensity of the mid-infrared emission is shown to be remarkably different from one star forming region to the next. For instance, star forming regions at the ends of the nuclear bar may contain enshrouded Wolf-Rayet stars.

en | N/A | N/A | Tonight we went to see a preview of Gridiron Gang, starring The Rock. Adam had given us free passes, so we invited my dear friends Lily and Pete to join us. We had to arrive about an hour before showtime, as it's a first come, first served situation. But it was worth the wait. The movie was really good. It's a true story about Sean Porter, a man who worked in a jail setting for teenage offenders. He realized that 75% of those released end up back in jail or dead football team! This was truly a feel good movie, and also another eye opener to the situation that many underpriviledged youth find themselves in. I highly recommend it. If you go, make sure you stay in your seats when the credits roll, because the actual people on who the movie is based, are shown.I also recommend the movie Invincible, which we saw last weekend. It starred Mark Markham (sp?) as Vince Papale, a "regular" guy who was a major Eagles football fan. He was given the chance to tryout for the Eagles team. It's another "feel good" movie...doncha just love those?thank goodness. Of course, we don't know what's around the bend, but for now, everything is good. ?). I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon together. On Wanna know the best part of all? ! Can!
We.YEA! a day off from school (work)! ! !!).
In....he doesn't like to smile for pictures, though he should, as his whole face lights up when he does:
Becca left last night after a 3 1/2 day visit. It was so nice. She and I took Mom to the movies Monday night to see Scoop. I am not a big fan of Woody Allen, but I loved Match Point so I figured this would be good. I was right. He is so funny, and if you can get past his neurotic behavior, you will really enjoy the movie. Tuesday we hung out at home all day and then Gerry and I took Becca and his daughter Suzzette to watch the Marlins play the Mets.Met's pitcher up at bat. We had a really good time, in spite of the Marlins beating the Mets in the bottom of the 9th inning.Wednesday Becca and I took mom to lunch at a little Israeli restaurant in West Boca called Falafel Armon. Mom had her first falafel pita sandwich and loved it. We all reminisced about each of our ventures to Israel (seemed approriate).Then we went to Babies R Us to buy a few little things for you-know-who.Becca's visit was short but very, very sweet.I finished the blue cardigan and the cotton ease pullover. I am now working on the hat to match the cotton ease sweater.A short stop at Tuesday Morning and I came out with this for the baby.....isn't it cute?I'm not sure what I'll make next. Maybe I'll pick something from my new book: |
en | N/A | N/A | Wow, have the first five months of this year flown by! It's nearly June and time for the annual appleJAC Group barbecue and picnic. We look forward to this time to mee want to thank Peggy and John Landwehr in advance for hosting this year's event. Hopefully the rain will hold off until after the evening's festivities, and we can go home dry, unless that is, you decide to go in the pool.
Oh yes, there is a pool, so if you choose to, you can bring a swimming suit and quench the exterior thirst. The club will provide the hot dogs and hamburgers.
This month, we will enjoy the Annual appleJAC MUG Picnic (see agenda below). Friends and family are all invited to attend (bring a beverage, side disk and lawn chair). This is an opportunity to relax at the poolside home of Peggy and John Landwehr, and enjoy food, fun and friends. RSVP is requested (if you haven't already). Directions below to their house (east side of Jefferson City off Eastland Drive) show that they are easily accessible.
You bring something to drink and a side dish. We'll dine with friends ... and I'm quite sure, we'll have a ball. |
en | N/A | N/A | Buy Poppy Seeds (White)
Pure White Poppy Seeds can't get any better than these. Grown in their native origin of India, these poppy seeds are light, soft, and full of the wonderful nutty / sweet flavour poppy seeds are loved for in cooking. Poppy Seeds are extremely versatile - use them whole for garnishing breads, pastries, crackers, or grind them with fruits, sugars, and nuts to product yummy creams. These poppy seeds are very high in oil, so even eating a pinchful gives a full flavour. Also known as: Papaver somniferum, opium poppy, mawseed, khashkhaash, haşhaş, khus khus |
en | N/A | N/A | Katharina Duve is an interdisciplinary artist in the field of time-related media. Her works appear as videos on the Internet, in cinema programs at film festivals, or as scenographic elements on theater or concert stages, as well as in exhibition contexts as spatial installations. She works as a director, performer and costume designer. Her music videos, short films, live video lecture performances, collages and costumes address improbable identities, diverse body concepts and economic chains of exploitation, drawing on media and materials from everyday culture. Through repetition, appropriation, displacement and superimposition, figures are collaged whose existence questions contradictions in societal and private constructions, while always retaining a documentary reference to the everyday. In 2012 Katharina Duve, together with Timo Schierhorn and Christian Hartman, founded the film collective AUGE ALTONA and since then has been working as part of the creative team of the Hamburg-based music group DEICHKIND in the areas of music videos, stage and TV appearances, social media, photo shoots and costumes. |

What are 2100NEWS DeFi liquidity pools?
Liquidity pools, in essence, are pools of tokens that are locked in a smart contract. Contracts are simply pools of 50% ETH and 50% CETF Tokens. They are used to facilitate trading by providing liquidity, so the users can always trade and they don’t have to wait for another counterparty to show up. There are two players in pool trading. The exchangers, who use the pools to exchange tokens, and the liquidity providers, who offer their liquidity to the exchangers. They earn exchange fees whenever exchangers make use of their liquidity.
Whenever someone trades on the exchange, the trader pays a 0.3% fee which is added to the liquidity pool. Since no new liquidity tokens are minted, this has the effect of splitting the transaction fee proportionally between all existing liquidity providers.
the field is fairly new, and many still don’t know what liquidity pools are or how high the interest is.
Furthermore, providing liquidity comes with risks, since it’s still new and prone to mistakes. A larger mistake in the code could mean total loss for users.
Pool trading has advantages when compared to CEXs, all the tokens can be listed fairly easily, there is no KYC requirement and the costs are low when not considering transaction fees. Therefore, many trades on pool trading platforms which generates high interest in the form of fees.
This interest should in theory adjust over time and drop significantly since more investors will want to use them to generate fees. With more liquidity in the pools, the interest rate falls, since the collected fees will be divided on more staked capital.

en | N/A | N/A | There's no denying that when it comes to bike shops, I'm something of a ho. There are so many to choose from and I dabble in several different ones depending on the need of the day, location, price convenience etc. But I've always had a special love for Seven Corners (now on 21st and Powell) bike shop. This is mostly because of Cory, the fabulous guy who owns and runs the shop. When I was searching for a replacement for my stolen KHS mountain bike many years ago, he was the only one who didn't laugh at me when I said I didn't want the 'upgrade' of disc brakes and yes, I really did want grip shifters.
I went to see him and he basically custom built me the exact bike I wanted, and for a great price. Cory doesn't seem to have customers, he just has a lot of friends who need bike stuff. And that's why we still make the almost eight mile trek to have him work on our bikes or pick up some gloves or just say hi.
On one of these visits, we mentioned needing to build the rest of our fence sometime this summer.
Still, it boggles my mind a little when I think about it.
So like I said, they just don't make 'em like Cory anymore. |
en | N/A | N/A | This is becoming a habit – a few weeks ago I wrote an entire column on the swede turnip, a humble inexpensive and ridiculously versatile Winter root. It got a tremendous response so this week I’m going to continue in the same vein and showcase Jerusalem artichokes. I know this is a vegetable that some may not have heard of but it’s really worth seeking out, better still plant some in your own garden. It’s a kind of a miracle veg; you plant one this year there will be at least ten or twelve next year. They look like knobbly potatoes; they remain in the ground all winter and vary in colour from white to golden to purple.
Just in case it comes as a surprise I should mention that they are hugely flatulent so very good for your gut biome. Peeling the older varieties can try your patience but the newer varieties are much smoother, I don’t bother to peel them at all when freshly dug or when I decide to roast them, just cut lengthways or into thick rounds.
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper avocado and roast hazelnut salsa.
Chorizo Crumbs see my column on Saturday 13th January for the recipe
450g (1lb) Jerusalem artichokes (weighed after peeling)
450g (1lb) potatoes, scrubbed clean
3 to 4 dessert apples, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Egremont, Russet or Romano
50 to 75gr (2-3ozs) Coolea or Pecorino cheese
flat parsley sprigs or fresh watercress
Peel and slice the garlic into thin slivers, cook until crisp and golden in hot oil in a frying pan, drain on kitchen paper.
Scatter a few flat parsley leaves or watercress sprigs over each dish and serve ASAP
Once can also use roast slices here instead of a raw artichoke..
Peel the artichokes thinly and slice 1/4. |

I'm not sure if I'll make it to 22 (2x11) before the end of the year, but here's an update on the ongoing scarf/shawl knitting. I chose too many patterns and bought too much new yarn to only do 11! The first is another cowl with Novita 7 Brothers and Silmu, this time longer and with a twist. The second is another Queen Anne's Lace scarf.

en | N/A | N/A | General, Health Hiking Heads-Up: 4 Irritating Plants To Watch Out For This Summer
Posted by Lizzie W × June 12, 2017 at 8:18 pm
A relaxing hike along wooded areas or peaceful trails can be ruined by running into plants designed to irritate or inflame your skin with a single touch. If you know what to look for, however, you can avoid these troublesome growths as you go on your way. Four of the worst offending plants are below.
Poison sumac changes from orange to green to red over the seasons, but its oval-shaped leaves and small green berries don’t always stick out. Watch out for its height – five to twenty-five feet – and location among wetter areas instead. Poison sumac causes bumps, inflammation, and rashes when touched, but fortunately this plant is uncommon.
Nobody wants to deal with the fallout of these irritants, so it’s important to recognize them and stay aware of your surroundings. They can cost a lot of time and money to treat, not to mention cancelled expeditions. If you keep a good eye out, you won’t have to worry about your adventures getting off-track.

The first human studies of oral HGH supplementation for bodybuilding purposes were published in 1989 [5] and the first published prospective human clinical investigation of HGH for competitive bodybuilding was conducted in 1992 [6]. At the same time, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had already initiated the introduction of the "Doping Guideline," or "WADA Code," in 1996, which mandated a minimum threshold level of 6, hgh 4iu results.5 ng/ml for testosterone, but not testosterone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), hgh 4iu results. With the introduction of a "Doping Code" of this kind in Europe in 1997, the levels of anabolic steroids in competition had also begun to climb [7,8].

On one hand, athletes may be seeking a more complete recovery or as close to "peak performance" as possible, while on the other hand, they may be looking for a "safer" or "better" version of the anabolic steroids already present in the body, at the start of their competitive career.

The results of clinical studies in athletes had shown that although HGH had some significant anabolic properties, it had no positive effect on muscle mass and muscular strength [9].

In addition, some studies showed no positive effect on anabolic steroid clearance (which can happen during intense anabolic stimulus) while others have demonstrated a decreased clearance [14].

dc.description.abstract The present study attempted to identify valid predictors of the level and pattern of Wechsler intelligence test performance in children with lateralized temporal lobe epilepsy of unknown etiology. Six seizure-related variables (seizure type, seizure frequency, number of different types of anti-convulsant medication required to control the seizures, types of EEG abnormality, age of onset of the seizure disorder, and lateralization of the epileptiform activity) were evaluated as predictors of Full-scale IQ. Three variables (lateralization, age on onset, and severity of cerebral pathology) were evaluated as predictors of the relative magnitudes of Verbal IQ and Performance IQ. The number of anti-convulsants required to control seizures was significantly related to Full-scale IQ scores. Seizure type, seizure frequency, types of EEG abnormality, age of onset, and lateralizatioexplained variability in Full-scale IQ. There was a nonsignificant trend towards a relationship between the lateralization of epileptiform activity andDifferences between the left and right temporal groups were in the expected direction on all but one of the Verbal and Performance IQ and subtest measures. No association was found between either the age of onset or severity of cerebral pathologMethodological problems were considered in a discussion of these results. Most of the children in the study were not significantly impaired intellectually, as evidence by the fact that only four subjects in the total sample ([lowercase underlined n]=26) demonstrated Full-scale IQ scores which were below the Average range. In the left temporal group, nine of the twelve subjects demonstrated a lower Verbal IQ while, in the right temporal group, seven subjects demonstrated a lower Verbal IQ and seven subjects demonstrated a lower Performance IQ. It was concluded that, in terms of pattern of intelligence test performance, there is a trend toward a lower Verbal IQ in children with temporal lobe epilepsy maximally involving the right hemisphere, and no trend towards a particular pattern of performance. relation to other findings in the neuropsychological literature. |
en | N/A | N/A | Rianne Hogenbirk is a senior year medical student currently researching the consequences of bicycle crashes in the Netherlands.
With 24 years of cycling experience in daily home-work and home-school commuting on the Dutch cycling roads a special interest for traffic accidents involving bicycles was awakened. Especially with the massively increasing popularity of the electric bicycle (E-bike).
Sin es.
Bicycles are a popular mean of transportation in the Netherlands. In 2016, e-bike sales were almost 30% of total national bicycle sales and nowadays >10% of the bicycles used is an e-bike. E-bikes are heavier and faster than normal bicycles, which could increase the risk of greater injury when having an accident. However, there is a lack of literature on this important issue.
We pbicyclists. Patient characteristics were collected. Themortality rate and hospital care needs were determined. Differences between e-bikers and conventional bicyclists were analyzed performing a matched pair analysis. Groups were matched based on age, gender and occurrence of comorbidity.
From June 2014 to May 2016, 475 patients suffered from a bicycle accident: 107 were e-bikers (22.5%). Mean age of e-bikers and conventional bicyct in ezed, they also needed surgery more frequently. After propensity score matching the e-bikers were two times more often poly-traumatized, suffered from more severe head injuries and needed longer hospitalization than conventional bicyclists.
Conclusion - E-bikers were more severely injured, sustained more often multiple injuries and suffered from more severe head injury than conventional bicyclists when they were involved in an accident. This increased the need for medical care.
Preventive measures such as driving lessons and helmet use need more attention. Furthermore, physicians should be aware of more severe injuries when a patient with an e-bike related bicycle accident is treated. |

Add cyberespionage to the list of behaviors the Obama administration would like China to stop. The president, though, is likely to have as much success stopping China's hacking as he has had getting it to play by the rules on video piracy, currency manipulation and trade subsidies.
Chinese diplomats can begin any discussions of cyberespionage by citing examples of U.S. cyberwarfare, such as the Stuxnet virus attack on Iran and the Flame infection of machines across the Middle East. The American malware has been cited by experts as the most potent ever released. The Chinese can then say they will consider stopping or slowing their efforts if the U.S. promises to do the same in China and elsewhere. They will have a point.
Obama may ultimately negotiate an effective agreement with the Chinese on cyberspying. Until then, Silicon Valley's tech firms should heed the president's call for help. Sharing information about attacks on their systems offers the best guarantee of success.
No less an authority than Google Chairman Eric Schmidt calls China "the most sophisticated and prolific" cyberthief threatening American companies. He is better positioned than almost any other tech executive to know the extent of the problem. In 2010, Schmidt challenged China's leaders to stop censoring searches, and when they wouldn't comply, he essentially pulled Google out
Schmidt could help lead the effort to rally tech firms for a renewed effort to protect American intereststhe nation's transportation system, banking industry, utilities and other crucial national infrastructure. Experts fear hackers could, for example, shut down financial institutions or disrupt air traffic control systems.

Here are a few ideas of mine in the hope of a better Christmas next year.
First and foremost the exact criteria or formula by what creatures are been gifted during Christmas to be made public and updated before the next Christmas.
Second, remove the creature present from the tree along with the activity days requirement.
Third, Confused Santa will have a list and give away presents by a category calculated for each person by the requirements that were made public beforehand.
Example of Category/present relationship(really just an example)
Chance to get present..............40%................................30%...10%
Category I.................................Morph............................tainted angien...................wind dragon...............darkling
Category II................................rusty..............................Nutcracker.........................reindrach...................Morph
Category III...............................Sharpshooter.................soulweaver........................santa.........................rusty
Category IV..............................imperial aramor..............tormented soul..................bloodpact...................Sharpshooter
Category V..............................Toxicodendrite................heretic archer....................knator........................Imperial aramor
Confused Santa really needs help, he is to confused to give out the presents himself so he chooses someone else to do it in his stead.
Examle: Person A was a bit bad this year so he only qualifies for a category IV gift, meaning he can expect to get a imperial aramor, a tormented soul or a slim chance for a bloodpact or Sharpshooter.
There will be no disappointed faces since everyone knows what to expect from Santa, but there is still hope for the 10% chance of getting the best gift in that category.
Even if you were "bad" you can still have hope to be picked by Confused Santa to be his helper and get a fantastic reward Edited December 26, 2011 by stavaroiu
xrieg, ignnus, Watcher and 7 others reacted to this
With these kinds of requirements its not a gift anymore, then it's nothing but a bribe or payment for the conditions that you suggest....
The biggest issue I have is simply, you seem to expect something great. A gift means however that even if you get "just" a BP, you should be happy that you got anything for free. If people keep pushing like this, I almost expect mur to simply say: Alright, since so many are unhappy about being treated this way, NO MORE GIFTS.
You might just accuse me now saying I can say that because I got good things, but the truth is I did NOT expect anything good from the tree (past experiences just keep telling me there won't be anything). I think the tree conditions might be modified, but I do not think the current ones are too bad either- MD shop also has freebies. Confused Santa seemed like overkill just looking at the sheer amount of rarities going out, and I know there have been questions regarding how the choice was. We have a topic for that.
But hey it's Xmas time, not Jealousy time. We should rejoice, be happy for anything we got (maybe strike a few bargains here and there), and simply enjoy the festivities. Edited December 26, 2011 by Shadowseeker

Or...how about we JUST have a tree. That's it.
Leave the present giving to the those that wish to give and organise a few of our OWN competitions, events, etc. BFH's event was amazing and I think if people could make their own each year it would be by far a more...Christmassy....time, not to mention prevent any hard feelings and complaints.
The ideas i mentioned above are just suggestions to make a nice, calm and organized Christmas. [b]This[/b] is what i really want above anything else.
And what is exactly wrong with having expectation? Did you even check what Christmas is like in other games? There is organization, most of the online games reward the same gift to everyone regardless of time played or other factors.
Shadowseeker and xrieg reacted to this
Then we might just agree having no confused santa, but everything else seems fine. It's just that the table system you suggested is too much like a reward system to me...and although other games have expectations like that, it does not mean we have to like it.
And if I'm honest, MD is much more free with gifts than other games- they tend to lump one off with a few small freebies, or extra credits on buy, the likes. The creature tree (if it works for someone, and 70% doesn't seem to high a requirement) tends to grant quite good ones if one does not have it already- part of the reason why I did not expect anything, as one of the richer ones.

I like BFH's idea, remove all christmas presents because clearly if people make such a fuss, then there is no point causing such Havok.
I was fervently against it, hated the idea. Foolishly thinking that i hated it because it would make things less rare, and it would be much less special. Having thought about it more i realised the only objection i had to it was greed. I was being greedy that my 3 morphs would become regular, and people would have upwards of 8, And i didnt like that. Having come to realise that was my only objection then a morph shop is great, wonderful,it means i can complete my collection so much easier.
Dont be greedy that you didnt get something, and others did, or that he got X creature and i only got Y. Its christmas.
1. Its not that hard to devote one minute to log into MD each day. It is very simple to do this, look at some of the top Active Day vets. Many of you will never have seen or met them, but they log on each day.
2. Rarity of creatures will change. I would like to point out that at one time angiens were sold for upwards of 15 gold. Nowadays they are freely obtainable. Market change is sometimes unwanted by greedy merchants and such, But market upheaval happens in all markets and you have to live with it. Adding 5 darks into the market wont effect you or me, because 99% of all of us wont be able to buy them. People that have lots of money such as SS and orvid will purchase them and demand huge sums if you want to buy them.

This is not really my main point but it has to do with it.
Only this year i was able to purchase a rein and a Santa from the md shop and it felt really good. It was the same feeling i had when i purchased my first rusty with coins and my second one from the md shop.
A while ago a windy was auctioned and i didn't hesitate to bid everything i had, was still overbid though but that was still ok. It made me realize that i am not there yet and that only a little longer and i could get one more thing that i wanted with my own strength.
Long story short, if i would have gotten one of these rare crits from the Santa i wont say that i probably wouldn't be happy, but without a doubt that would have been only temporarily. It cant possibly compare to the felling of achievement felt when you get it yourself.

Playername:VorniC
I have a point of view - good or wrong, is what like i see it. As a player, i became since 24.12.2007, and i don't know if in that time there were presents.
But i remember that in one of the next years i was there and i have seen gifts near the tree.
Unfortunately, after that time, i do not know what happened that i haven't been around MD, or i was but i didnt have the mental power to play with a main caracter and i played with so many characters that Mur was forced to block most of them. I really can't remember wich one was the reason of my innactivity, but when i look at my page and i see Activity days: 27% (A total of 531 out of 1997 days) is a really shame for me.
Because of the mistakes that i made i paid 2-3 years in a row ... Why? My activity % says it all. And when i see it, i know i will have to wait, still many years before i will be able to open a gift box. I was so bad in all these years? Idk...
I hope i have not bored with my story, but i really wish i could open those boxes again, even if behind them will be a great gift or a smaller one.
As for envy, intrigue and competition, is there since the human being walked on earth :) and if in what i said before i was offtopic, now i would like to say that if Christmas gifts are based on activity, involvement in MD and other criteria like that .... then they are not gifts, but rewards for what we as individuals have made in the current or past years... and for that i am sure that are other ways to reward the work and dedication.
And at the end of this, i ask: in real life we always have to wait Santa to give us presents? maybe we fall asleep and we don't catch him, that doesnt mean we forgot about him :)
I hope what i wrote will raise questions, and questions will have solutions. And of course, hope i will be there with all of you, when the time will come to celebrate and share our happiness. |

Budapest Airport supports local primary school, park renovation
Continuing the window insulation program started several years ago, the airport operator has decided to offer, as of this year, window insulation, window replacement, and other noise insulation-related support to certain institutions near the airport, in addition to noise insulation for residrport operator is undertaking the window replacement in cooperation with the District XVII Municipality, through support provided by the For the Neighbors of Budapest Airport Foundation, with the help of the experts commissioned for this purpose.
Budapest Airport contributed 15,000 EUR, while majority owner AviAlliance added a further 4,000 EUR to the renovation of Martinovics square near the airport in District XVIII. The park in the vicinity of the airport will be completely renewed, including the playground, benches and covered areas as well.
Budapest Airport purchases green energy
Budapest Airport purchased 840 MWH of green energy, taking another step towards its sustainability objectives. The purchased electricity equals the monthly electricity consumption of 3,500 households of a family of four people. Electricity company ELMŰ-ÉMÁSZ issued a green certificate to the airport operator for this environmentally friendly decision. This document is provided to those who purchase green energy and take action for a greener future.
The airport operator also established the Greenairport program in 2015, in order to achieve its sustainability objectives, which makes it possible for the airport and its passengers, and airlines. The objectives of the program include reducing the CO2 emissions and the energy consumption of the airport, establishing ways to use renewable energy sources, and developing electric mobility. Reducing water consumption, phasing out single-use plastics, and further developing selective waste collection at the airport are also amongst the focus areas of the program. |

en | N/A | N/A | Barnwell natives coming home to inspire youth and adults
Two Barnwell natives who are now media professionals in New York are coming home to inspire others to follow their dreams.
Danyell Flowers and Shavon Greene, who graduated from Barnwell High School in 2006, grew up with big dreams. They will return home this Saturday, June 29 to share how those dreams are coming true while encouraging others to work toward bringing their own dreams to fruition.
“People think that just because you are from a small town means you can’t be great,” said Flowers.
“I want kids to know that whatever you imagine, where you are doesn’t determine where you can be,” said Greene. "You can come from a small town and do great things."
The two met years ago at Guinyard-Butler Middle School in Barnwell where they discussed their dreams for the future. Their former middle school is where they will return June 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. Greene will interview Flowers while also sharing her own story.
Flowers earned hermoved to Brooklyn, N.Y. in 2014 to follow her dream of working in the fashion public relations industry. She started off as an intern before getting her first paid job. After doing public relations work for fashion and entertainment professionals, Flowers decided to start her own business, Maven Media Management, two years ago which is geared to lifestyle clients. She now has two people who work for her.
“I like to build someone’s story from nothing to something,” she said of building a client’s digital presence from the ground up.
After earning bachelor's and master’s degrees in journalism innovation from Syracuse University, Greene remained in Syracuse, N.Y. to launch her career. She started off as a freelancer before starting Greene Style Media, which producestarted Black Owned Syracuse, a year-old business that celebrates black-owned businesses and their owners, including through programs and partnerships. She also wants to branch out into teaching.
Though Flowers and Greene no longer live in Barnwell, both credit their hometown with helping shape who they are today.
“It makes us stand out,” said Greene of how growing up in the small Southern town helped her be a kind, well-mannered individual.
Flowers said growing up in Barnwell developed her character and has made her more approachable in her professional career.
Both have also relied on their families and faith to get through the ups and downs of working hard to attain their dreams. Flowers said she relied heavily on her support system five years ago when she essentially started over at the age of 25 by moving to New York.
Butilizing their resources, has led to opportunities they never could have imagined. Flowers said it’s important to be open to possibilities because life has brought her opportunities she never thought possible.
“Everything happens for a reason,” said Greene.
“Each year has been a progression in my career,” said Flowers, who also encourages people to not be discouraged by negative influences. She wrote down her vision and a plan to get there.
While living in New York is expensive and owning their own businesses can be a struggle at times, Flowers and Greene said they love what they do. They both enjoy writing, telling people’s stories and helping others succeed.
“I’ve never been this passionate about anything else. I feel very blessed,” said Greene, who attributes her father with helping instill a love of reading and knowledge about the world. She said he always brought home newspapers, told stories, and took her to different places.
Flowers and Greene are excited to return home this weekend.
“We want this to be empowering and encouraging,” said Flowers. “We want to show young people and others how to take their dreams to reality.”
This free event is open to everyone of all ages because “it is never too late,” said Flowers.
As Flowers and Greene continue to work on their dreams, they want to give back to their hometown by encouraging others to have their own dreams, whether it is in Barnwell or a bigger city. |

Okay so I have to put my Twilight 2 cents in and say that I wasn't all that impressed. I think my surroundings had a huge affect on the actual movie, there were so many teenage girls screaming and giggling the whole time that it took away from the movie and then I dragged hubby with me who kept looking at me every two minutes like I had lost mind!!! Needless to say he did not care for the movie at all! However he did find amusement in yelling and getting all of the teenage girls wound up even more than they were.
I'm definitely going to rent it when it comes out on DVD and give it another try.

en | N/A | N/A | Getting (and keeping) NLP models safely in production
Introducing a natural language processing (NLP) model into a production environment is a lot like buying a car. In either case, you may set the parameters to suit your desired results, test some approaches, and retest them. And as soon as you drive away the lot, the value begins to plummet. Just like having a car, having an NLP or AI-enabled product has many advantages, but it doesn’t stop maintenance. Do not stop, at least for it to function properly over time.
AI production is difficult enough, but ensuring model accuracy in a real environment can present even greater governance challenges. The accuracy of the model drops the moment the model hits the market. This is because the predictable research environment in which the model is trained behaves differently in real life. As the highway is a different scenario than the dealer’s parcel.
This is called concept drift. In other words, as variables change, the concepts learned can become inaccurate. It’s nothing new in the areas of AI and machine learning (ML), but it continues to challenge users. This is also the reason why only about 13% of data science projects actually move to production, despite huge investments in AI and NLP in recent years ()VentureBeat).
Sn? It’ges? Thereorder for their AI investment to actually see the light of day.
Introduce AI model to production environment
Model governance is an important factor in producing NLP initiatives, and is a common reason why many products remain projects. Model governance targets how a company tracks model activity, access, and behavior in a particular production environment. Monitoring this is important by the AI global community, but it’s also a thorn on their side.
Data from 2021 NLP Industry Survey Respondents have shown that precision tools that are easy to adjust and customize are a top priority. Technology leaders repeated this, noting that accuracy, followed by production readiness, and scalability are essential when evaluating NLP solutions. Constant adjustment is the key to a model functioning correctly over time, but it is also the biggest challenge faced by practitioners.
The NLP project contains a pipeline that uses the results of previous tasks and pre-trained models downstream. Models often need to be tailored and customized for a particular domain or application. For example, health care models trained in academic papers and medical journals do not work the same when used by media companies to identify fake news.
Improving searchability and collaboration between AI communities plays an important role in standardizing model governance practices. This includes storing modeling assets such as notebooks, datasets, resulting measurements, hyperparameters, and other metadata in searchable catalogs. Allowing experiment reproducibility and sharing among members of the data science team is another area of benefit for those seeking to move a project into production.
More tactically, rigorous testing and retesting is the best way to ensure that your model behaves like a study in a production environment. Two very different environments. All practitioners should exercise model versioning that goes beyond experimentation to release candidates, testing their accuracy, bias, and stability, and validating pre-release models in new regions and populations. The element.
When you release software, you need to incorporate security and compliance into your strategy from the beginning. AI projects are no exception. Role-based access control and an approval workflow for storing and delivering all the metadata needed for a model’s release and full audit trail are the security required for the model to be considered production-ready. It is a part of the measures.
These practices can greatly increase the likelihood that an AI project will move from concept to production. practices that need to be applied once the product is customer-ready.
Maintain production of AI models
Returning to the car analogy: In a production environment, there is no clear “check engine” light for AI, so the data team must constantly monitor the model. Unlike traditional software projects, it’s important to keep data scientists and engineers in the project even after the model is deployed.
From an operational perspective, this requires more resources in terms of both human capital and cost. This may be the reason why many organizations cannot do this. The pressure to keep up with the pace of the business and move on to the “next thing” is also taken into account, but perhaps the biggest oversight is that even IT leaders don’t expect model degradation to be a problem. That is.
For example, in medical care, the model analyzes electronic medical records (EMRs) and a patient may develop an emergency C section based on risk factors such as obesity, smoking, drug use, and other health determinants. Can be predicted. If patients are dubbed high risk, their practitioners may ask them to come earlier or more often to reduce pregnancy complications.
T? Have they been diagnosed with gestational diabetes? There are also subtle differences in how clinicians ask questions and record their answers in hospital records, which can have different consequences.
This can be even more difficult given the NLP tools most practitioners use. The majority of respondents in the previous survey (83%) said they used at least one of the following NLP cloud services: AWS Comprehend, Azure Text Analytics, Google Cloud Natural Language AI, or IBM Watson NLU. While the popularity and accessibility of cloud services is clear, technology leaders cite the difficulty and cost of adjusting models as a major challenge. Basically, even professionals are committed to maintaining the accuracy of the model in production.
Another problem is that it takes time to see if something is wrong. The period can vary significantly. Amazon is updating its fraud detection algorithm, which may inadvertently block customers in the process. Within hours, and possibly minutes, a customer service email will point out the problem. In health care, it can take several months to get enough data under certain conditions to confirm that the model has deteriorated.
Basically, to keep your model accurate, you need to apply the same rigorous testing, retraining pipeline automation, and measurements that were performed before the model was deployed. When working with AI and ML models in a production environment, it’s better to anticipate problems than to expect optimal performance in the coming months.
Considering all the work required to move a model to production and keep it safe, it’s understandable why 87% of data projects aren’t on the market. Nonetheless, 93% of tech leaders have shown that their NLP bu (Radiant flow). It’s encouraging to see more investment in NLP technology, but it’s all in vain unless the company knows the expertise, time, and continuous updates needed to deploy a successful NLP project. ..

i got some street art for you mother fuckers </s> While some marketers are very focused on conversion rates as the ultimate measure of success for a given campaign, there's something else worth keeping an eye on: purchase intent. This predictive statistic helps give marketers a sense of how effective their marketing message is and can help them identify not just if a message is being received, but how it's being received as well. For instance, high reach might show that consumers are seeing your ads, but if purchase probability is low, consumers are simply scrolling past your campaigpurchase intent is high while other statistics remain low, you can use the power of integrated media to help close the gap between your metrics. Here's how:
A Consistent Social Message
Though this might seem like a fragmented strategy, Target Marketing Mag explained that customers respond to relevant, multimedia touch points to inform and accelerate their purchase paths. Using multiple types of media, marketers can remind customers of their product multiple times in slightly different ways and can turn browsers into buyers. While it's true that one size doesn't always fit all, a media strategy with multiple facets can work if planned and implemented correctly.
Every business' marketing strategy looks different. For yours, include integrated media every step of the way, as it can help your business move customers along on this journey and hopefully lead to higher purchase intent and increased conversions.
