We do not need a wall to separate us from our neighbors. Walls are meant to keep out enemies, which Mexico is not. We are trillions in debt and do not need to add to the amount. Train more people to process those who only want a better way of life for themselves and their children. Weed out the undesirables and give the others a green card for a five-year period, at which time they can become citizens if they so desire. If not, then ship them back to their country of origin. The majority are willing and want to work and enjoy their life in the USA, free from their oppressive governments and dictators. They will have to pay taxes like everyone else and will do the tasks that Americans think are below them.
I'm sure the big vegetable, cattle farms could employ them, as well as janitorial work, in our high office buildings. Some of those people have special skills, which will enhance our country.
Donald Trump is acting like a spoiled brat to get what he wants, no matter that federal employees are not being paid, and trash and garbage are piling up in D.C. and national parks. He is still making money off his enterprises. He gets free room and board, all expenses paid.
Whatever happened to “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...”? The U.S. was built from immigrants, among them the ancestors of Trump. | 2019-04-24T00:06:04Z | https://www.poconorecord.com/opinion/20190110/letter-mexico-is-not-enemy?rssfeed=true |

Regarding the idea of race, .. no agreement seems to exist about what race means. Race seems to embody a fact as simple and as obvious as the noonday sun, but if that is so, why the endless wrangling about the idea and the facts of race. What is a race? How can it be recognized? Who constitute the several races?.
The idea of racial inferiority or superiority is foreign to me. I can't feel inferior or superior to another man because of race, or in any way antagonistic to him. I judge by the individual, not by his race, and have always done so. I would rather have one of my children marry into a good family of any race than into a bad family of any other race.
These people yapped loudly of race, of race consciousness, of race pride, and yet suppressed its most delightful manifestations, love of color, joy of rhythmic motion, naive, spontaneous laughter. Harmony, radiance, and simplicity, all the essentials of spiritual beauty in the race they had marked for destructions.
A new space race has begun, and most Americans are not even aware of it. This race is not [about] political prestige or military power. This new race involves the whole human species in a contest against time.
White, is not a race, it is a color, European, is not a race, it is a place named after the goddess Europa. Caucasian, is not a race, it is a place and mountain range. Gentile, is not a race, it is a biblical name that was given to describe Aryans as non-Jews. Aryan is the biological correct name of our race! Aryan is who we are by blood and the genetic source of our being and beginning. All the numerous names, German, French, Irish, Scotch, Polish, Italian, Norwegian and on and on are simply the many tribal names of the Aryan people.
I have no formula for winning the race. Everyone runs in her own way, or his own way. And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. Jesus said, 'Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. If with all your hearts, you truly seek me, you shall ever surely find me.' If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race.
I think being born in America and growing up exclusively within the American boundaries of race and race oppression is a very different experience for those of us who grew up under the boundaries of race and race experience in the Caribbean, or for those who grew up in Africa. Our experience has not made us monolithic. We're not all of the same stripe, coming from the same place with the same sense of what the tactics have to be to survive.
My life is parallel to a horse race. They have blinders on to keep them from being distracted in the race and keep them focused on winning the race. That's kind of like my life. Focus on the goal, not the things coming at me from the side.
Predictions are predictions. If you could predict the stock market, you would be super rich. But I have to race the race. It doesn't matter what I've done over the last few years. I have to race at the Olympics.
I race six events. I specialise in butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle, and it's not impossible, but it is hard to be able to race every single race, and day after day as well.
I will not join the rat race because I'm not a rat. And I will not blindly follow a specific faith because I'm not a bat. The only race I'll take part in is for humans being humane. It's called the human race, and sadly it's got the least participants.
I am happy that I ran the half-marathon, but to me, just running and saying that I finished a race isn't enough for me. I want to run the race as best as I can. Working out for pants size isn't enough. I need a goal or a race to get back on the treadmill every day.
Mentally, my key is just focusing on the little things I need to do in a race, whether that's tempo, turn entry, start speed, things like that. I'm not thinking about that much before or during a race. I just trust in my ability and all the hard work I put in and let the race come to me.
When I was three years old, I had race-car wallpaper, a race-car bed, race-car toys. That was all I wanted. And nothing has changed. Except I don't have a race-car bed anymore.?
Race was a word that bred arrogance, danger and violence. When had incitement to race served a peaceful purpose? Race was a fuel and it needed only a match to light it. Any match - my hostility, your ambition, a third person's advantage.
There were a number of reasons why I was back. Part of it is my love for racing. My preference was to race, but if I couldn't race, I wanted to watch. I also didn't really comprehend the significance of my crash. All I knew was my car was tore up and I couldn't race.
I felt like I already knew how to race by the time I was four. I was always at the race track with my dad. I watched him race thousands of laps in a sprint car standing on top of a trailer watching him, getting down and cleaning the mud off his car. That's just what I grew up doing.
Every rebel is, with us, more or less a soldier who has missed his vocation, a being made for a heroic life ... The European race is a race of masters and soldiers. If you reduce this noble race to the work in a slave's prison like Negroes or Chinamen, it will rebel.
When people talked about O.J. Simpson being race-neutral, that was a race card. It just meant we don't think of him as black. But race-neutral is just like flesh-tone Band-aids. It's not neutral; it's white.
I always enjoyed the training more than I did the racing. There was a high level of anxiety in racing that I did not enjoy. Training runs set me FREE. I could imagine the race in my mind and race as if it were the actual race.
When I was about 14 or 15, and running in a pretty muddy cross country race, one of my shoes stuck in the mud and came off. Boy, was I wild. To think that I had trained hard for this race and didn't do up my shoelace tightly enough! I really got aggressive with myself, and I found myself starting to pass a lot of runners. As it turned out, I improved something like twenty places in that one race. But I never did get my shoe back.
The starting point of Darwin's theory of evolution is precisely the existence of those differences between individual members of a race or species which morphologists for the most part rightly neglect. The first condition necessary, in order that any process of Natural Selection may begin among a race, or species, is the existence of differences among its members; and the first step in an enquiry into the possible effect of a selective process upon any character of a race must be an estimate of the frequency with which individuals, exhibiting any given degree of abnormality with respect to that, character, occur. The unit, with which such an enquiry must deal, is not an individual but a race, or a statistically representative sample of a race; and the result must take the form of a numerical statement, showing the relative frequency with which the various kinds of individuals composing the race occur.
If we once admit that our life is here for the purpose of race-improvement, then we question any religion which does not improve the race, or the main force of which evaporates, as it were, directing our best efforts toward the sky.... Improvement in the human race is not accomplished by extracting any number of souls and placing them in heaven, or elsewhere. It must be established on earth, either through achievement in social service, or through better children.
But George Lucas is carrying about Black actors, about Black men, about Black history, which really incorporates and tells all of history. You can't take one race out without eliminating every other race if you're going to tell the story of the human race.
But to say that the race is the metaphor for the life is to miss the point. The race is everything. It obliterates whatever isn't racing. Life is the metaphor for the race.
One of the big mistakes they made in Europe is that the circumstances in which you most frequently read or hear the word "race" or "racism" in Europe applies to Muslims. Which is not a race. It is a religion. You can convert to this. You cannot convert your race. I could become a Muslim. I could not become a Chinese person or a black person. So they constantly use that in Europe.
There are always more questions. Science as a process is never complete. It is not a foot race, with a finish line.... People will always be waiting at a particular finish line: journalists with their cameras, impatient crowds eager to call the race, astounded to see the scientists approach, pass the mark, and keep running. It's a common misunderstanding, he said. They conclude there was no race. As long as we won't commit to knowing everything, the presumption is we know nothing.

In running, I can internalize that intensity. I can handle it because it's me and I'm coming back in the next race. I'm always ready for the next race.
My whole philosophy in life is one step at a time will get you to your destination or to your goal and you don't have to win the race. You just have to be in the race.
I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point-race. Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.
Racism is one of the worst things that happened to our human race. It has brainwashed many to focus on one's race or complexion instead of one's personality.
I will never try to steer myself into a situation that I know might create a discussion after the race any protest immediately cuts down on my social hours after the race is over.
I'm getting tired of 10.7s. I just want to put a good race together, and hopefully in the next race, I get the time I'm working for. I definitely think a 10.6 is there. Hopefully I will get it together.
We know - or should know - what lies at the end of the road of racial polarization. A 'race card' is not something to play, because race is a very dangerous political plaything. | 2019-04-22T01:06:25Z | https://www.jarofquotes.com/view.php?tag=race |

As a thank you to everyone for their participation in this wonderful community event, Torklift distributed all of its $2,310 to businesses chosen at random. Money distributed did not effect rankings of the challenge. Congratulations to all the top five winners which are listed below!
Bundled up against the cold and waiting patiently for the doors to open, these families are filled with hope that they will be able to give thanks with their loved ones and not have to go hungry for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. During the holiday season many of us sit down to share a warm Thanksgiving meal with our families and friends while hundreds of families in our community stand in lines in the hopes of receiving food from the Kent Food Bank.
If supplies run out, these families will be turned away with no food for their families. In order to give them a memorable Thanksgiving and holiday season, the community can join together for the 6th Annual Kent Turkey Challenge and help.
In 2011, the Kent Food Bank lost the majority of their funding during Thanksgiving, leaving many families scrambling to find ways to feed their loved ones. This deeply impacted the community and Torklift Central responded by organizing the 1st Annual Kent Turkey Challenge.
Over the past five years, donations to the Kent Food Bank from the Annual Kent Turkey Challenge total more than $81,700 and 25,000 pounds of food, feeding thousands of people that would otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal.
Every year the Annual Kent Turkey Challenge grows in popularity and competition between the local businesses and organizations involved. Last year alone we had 73 businesses join! A friendly race, the Annual Kent Turkey Challenge is to see who can collect and raise the most food and monetary donations for the Kent Food Bank. One hundred percent of the proceeds are given to local Kent families that are combating hunger during Thanksgiving and year round.
New to the 6th Annual Kent Turkey Challenge this year, there is a coloring contest! For all ages, the Turkey Challenge Coloring contest is available to download online or at participating businesses. Submit your coloring page by Nov. 19, to Torklift Central at 315 Central Ave N. for a chance to win prizes! As a special treat, Urban Timber Coffee Company will donate a gift card to one lucky coloring contest winner. There are also other prizes available for the different age groups.
Torklift Central asks for your support to make the 6th Annual Kent Turkey Challenge the most effective to date. As a community, this is an opportunity for us to make a lasting positive impact in the lives of families by making sure no one is turned away from the Kent Food Bank because of lack of food.
The Annual Kent Turkey Challenge is not just about food; it’s about making memories. It’s about making sure parents can give their children the memory of a bountiful and happy holiday.
We at Torklift Central will list every contributing organization on the leader board which is located below. We will also have a counter of the total contributions the community has collected above. We will also be showcasing the leaders of the challenge through our blog, e-newsletters and on our Facebook.
With your help, we can reach our sixth anniversary goal that every family in our community will be able to share a special holiday meal and that no household will have to go hungry on Thanksgiving.
To participate in the 6th Annual Kent Turkey Challenge, please contact Katie at: [email protected] or enter in the Want to Participate form below.
Find us at the 2015 Kent Business Expo October 20th!
We want to recognize the individual contributions of each business. There is no donation too small as every bit helps. We want to thank each of these businesses for their continued support and donation efforts. | 2019-04-19T15:16:45Z | https://torkliftcentral.com/turkey-challenge/2016-kent-turkey-challenge |
Foreign ministry spokesperson says U.S. attitude "extremely worrisome"
North Korea regrets the outcome of the last two days of talks with U.S. officials in Pyongyang, the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement carried by the country’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Saturday.
“The results of the talks are extremely worrisome,” the statement by an unnamed foreign ministry official reads.
While Pyongyang had hoped the United States would “come up with constructive measures to help build confidence” and sought “balanced implementation” of the June 12 DPRK-U.S. agreement, it continued, the American negotiators had demanded unilateral nuclear disarmament.
Saturday’s foreign ministry statement, however, did suggest Pyongyang would continue to engage in talks, saying that “we still have faith in President Trump” and that the country has a “firm, steadfast” resolve to denuclearize the peninsula.
Pompeo left the North Korean capital mid-afternoon on Saturday, following a round of meetings on Friday and Saturday with, among other officials, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) Kim Yong Chol.
The visit came a week after reports surfaced detailing concerns among U.S. intelligence officials that North Korea was not taking steps to dismantle its nuclear program and seeking to “deceive” Washington.
In contrast with meetings in Pyongyang held in April and May, the Secretary of State did not meet with DPRK leader Kim Jong Un.
The Secretary of State arrived in Japan later in the day, where he is expected to hold a trilateral press conference with Japanese and South Korean counterparts on Sunday.

After what felt like three solid seasons, Netflix terminated Marvel’s “Daredevil” and while the decision left fans outraged, it wasn’t exactly a huge surprise. Netflix had slowly been removing its Marvel content, from “Luke Cage”, to “Iron Fist”, to now “Jessica Jones” and “The Punisher”. “Daredevil” received the same treatment in the lead up to the launch of Disney+, where multiple Marvel series will find a home. So maybe this isn’t the end for “Daredevil”, after all, showrunner Erik Oleson’s tweet below proves the idea is there and Netflix’s statement gives fans hope: “the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel”.
The digital uproar that followed the cancellation of this Cuban-American reiteration of Norman Lear’s 1975 series of the same name, was more surprising than the cancellation itself. Netflix released the statement below, claiming a weak viewership, but fans and celebrities clapped back quicker than expected, starting the hashtag “saveODAAT” and even reaching out to other networks to save their beloved show. Turns out a sitcom that tackles important subject matter through uniquely simple and head-on comedy is less niche than they thought.
Who would’ve thought that the series that is considered a cult classic today almost met it’s end 50 years ago! “Star Trek: The Original Series” ran for 3 seasons on NBC from September 8, 1966, to June 3, 1969, but poor Nielsen ratings lead to various cancellation threats met with shockingly huge backlash from fans. Since Twitter rants weren’t an option back then, complaints took the form of TONS of angry letters and even a march by 500 Caltech Trekkies outside NBC’s Burbank studios. Thanks to broadcast syndication, the series took off years later and became the cosmically significant franchise it is today.
“Futurama” cancellation backlash could be it’s own series at this point. The original show underwent a tragic cancellation from Fox in 2003, on account of low ratings, after which it was saved by a string of Adult Swim reruns that garnered attention from fans and Comedy Central, who picked it back up for 3 more seasons in the form of direct-to-DVD movies that came to a second end in 2013. THEN, news of Netflix removing the original series from their platform in 2017 lead to online petitions and bold tweets like the one below. With such a passionate fandom, who knows, round 4 might be around the corner.
It’s safe to say, the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” cancellation was not “cool cool cool cool cool cool”. After five seasons of classic Jake Peralta and the Nine-Nine crew moments, Fox decided to pull the plug and fans and celebrities were outraged. #RenewB99 took off on social media, alongside Twitter threats from Mark Hamill and clearly it worked. NBC, who passed on the show’s initial pitch, redeemed themselves by picking it up for a sixth season, bringing the show’s creators and star Mike Schur, Dan Goor and Andy Samberg back to the network that fostered their careers.

My daughter recently celebrated her birthday with a Wicca inspired party. She enjoyed helping me plan her event along with providing her vision, and helping out with lots of neat details! Shindigz had so many fun products that helped bring my daughter's party to life!
To help create a cold and dark space, we attached brick paper to the walls and brought in spooky furniture and decor.
My daughter wanted a dinner party setting and knew the purple table cover and lace table cover would be perfect for just that occasion! Adding a beautiful metal candelabra and cauldrons really helped set the tone. Personalized wine tumblers gave it a special touch and pulled the theme together nicely.
Party activities are a great way to get the guests involved in the festivities! Have each guest create a one-of-a-kind succulent terrarium. Supply the plants, soil and rocks. Everything look so nice as it was gathered on a gorgeous vintage rectangular serving tray, from Amalfi Decor!
Make your guests feel special by providing some great party favors! Personalize candles are a nice touch and you can create your own label to coordinate perfectly with your event. The create-a-jar candle favors were super easy to design!
My daughter also whipped up some clear slime for all her guests to enjoy! She personalized some create-a-candy jars and filled them with slime - they even provided a great air-tight seal. We provided a variety of glitter and displayed it in test tubes.
Unique elements for your event are key! Try to think outside of the box when it comes to using every day items. To add more creepy decor to our party table, we took an Apothecary jar set and filled them with mini skulls, and creepy crawlies!
Create a mystical setting by adding whimsical elements and spooky-glam decor on your dinner table! Pillar candles are a great way to set the tone and create some great ambiance at any setting.
Add special touches to your seating arrangement by creating a special chair for the guest of honor. I took an old chair with a high back painted it black. I collected old twigs and branches and attached them to the back of the chair with twine and wire.
My daughter loved adding her unique touches to her party and her birthday crown was no exception! She loved designing her own crown of bones. She attached skeleton hands to a band of twigs and hot glued black crafting feathers and jewels.
Make your guests feel special by creating a pretty spot for them at the table. Purple satin chair sashes popped as lace fans added the perfect touch of spooky-glam!
Serve up a bewitching meal by displaying a salad medley inside of cauldrons. Cornish game hens, red potatoes and dragon's blood soup were also a hit during our mystical themed dinner party!
Cheers to planning the perfect event! Get creative and add your own unique touches for that perfect party setting! | 2019-04-18T22:52:51Z | http://www.lauraslittleparty.com/2017/10/wicca-inspired-birthday-party.html |

How much blood will there be if one dies from hitting one's head on the floor?
If you die from hitting your head, the blood that kills you is on the INSIDE of the skull. Death from head injury normally occurs due to pressure building up from bleeding or swelling inside the brain. The skull is hard, so the pressure does not get relieved without surgical treatment to release the pressure.
If you bleed from a head being hit, it is usually a scalp injury. The scalp will bleed a lot and nobody ever died from a scalp injury. Well, it could get infected or something, but realistically, the scalp is easy to sew back together.
If you hit hard enough that the skull breaks open and the brains are exposed, which does sometimes happen due to a gunshot or a bike accident with no helmet, then....often there is not that much blood but when you see the pink material through the skull you know that it is really, really, bad.
It depends on the nature of the injury. If it is a closed head injury, meaning that there is no opening in the skull but the head hit hard enough to result in swelling of the brain, then you'll have no bleeding at all. If it's an open head injury, you could have a great deal of bleeding.
Have you ever fallen in love with someone so deep, that it makes you question ever being in love before?
It's better to deal with your parents. They can handle it .believe them. And if you are too worried to talk to them ,u can consult a doctor alone first and if there is any problem share with your parents.Anyways my prayers for better relief.God bless u.

U.N. Team Looking At Attacks Assad Blamed On Rebels : The Two-Way As they resume their investigation into allegations about the use of chemical weapons in Syria, U.N. experts are looking into at least three incidents for which President Bashar Assad's aides have said the rebels were responsible. The inspectors are not expected to assign blame.
A convoy of U.N. vehicles with chemical weapons experts on board head out on Friday to do more work as the investigate allegations of chemical weapons use in near Damascus.
After the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus that reportedly killed more than 1,000 people and has been blamed on Bashar Assad's regime, the Syrian president's ambassador to the U.N. claimed that opposition forces had used such weapons at least three times in the days immediately after.
"Ambassador Bashar Jaafari said he had requested of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that the team of experts currently in Damascus investigating an alleged use of chemical weapons last week also investigate ... other attacks.
The attacks took place on August 22, 24 and 25 in Jobar, Sahnaya, and al-Bahariya, Jaafari told journalists Wednesday. The 'militants' used toxic chemical gas against the Syrian army, the diplomat said."
"The United Nations mission investigating alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria on Friday continued working on a comprehensive report that it hopes will be ready by late October. The report is based on a number of allegations presented to the United Nations Secretary-General, of which seven have been found to warrant investigation according to the UN Secretary-General's Mechanism for investigation of alleged use of chemical and biological weapons.
"Ashrafiah Sahnaya, 25 August 2013."
As you see, the three incidents that Ambassador Jaafari spoke about are among those being looked at.
The investigators, as they did when reporting about the Aug. 21 attack, are expected to focus on whether chemical weapons were used, not on which side was responsible.
The regime and spokesman for the rebels have consistently blamed each other when there are allegations of chemical weapons use. Regarding the Aug. 21 incident in particular, the U.S. and its allies have said the intelligence pointing at Assad's regime is overwhelming.
Meanwhile, as we reported Thursday, Russia, the U.S. and the other members of the U.N. Security Council have drafted a resolution that calls for oversight of Syria's surrender of chemical weapons and calls for "consequences" if Assad fails to comply. The Security Council could vote later today on that resolution. | 2019-04-22T13:35:45Z | https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/09/27/226789743/u-n-team-looking-at-attacks-assad-blamed-on-rebels |

In South Africa in 2014, more than 1,000 white rhinos were poached for their horns—most in famed Kruger National Park. At current poaching levels, white rhinos could become extinct in the wild within 20 years.
What can South Africa's rhino horn trade proponents learn from experiences with the South American vicuña?
Southern white rhinos could go extinct in the wild in less than 20 years.
Conservation efforts saved the species from an earlier brush with extinction. There were no more than 50 white rhinos in South Africa at the end of the 19th century. Today South Africa holds nearly all of Africa's estimated 20,135 white rhinos.
But more than 1,215 were poached for their horns in 2014. A similar number were killed in 2013. The animals are expected to be in net decline by next year.
And yet in the lead-up to the next big meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), to be held in Cape Town in October 2016, South Africa is expected to push hard for legalization of trade in the horns of southern white rhinos.
In Vietnam, among other Asian nations, powdered rhino horn is said to treat fevers and cure cancer, although no scientific studies exist to support such beliefs.
A legal trade, proponents argue, would reduce incentives for poaching of wild rhinos and the illegal trade of their horns. People who are pro-trade view rhino horn as a renewable resource because the horns gradually regrow after they're cropped.
The idea is that rhinos would be intensively managed under farmed, or at least semi-captive, conditions, and that the animals would be sedated while their horns are harvested. Profits from the sale of horns would be invested in maintaining "viable, free-ranging" populations in "natural habitat," as South African trade advocate Michael 't Sas-Rolfes and others envision—although they leave the quoted terms "open to interpretation." This overall approach falls under the label "sustainable use."
Many rhino horn trade advocates tout the Andean vicuña—an iconic South American mammal in the camel family that's related to llamas, alpacas, and guanacos—as an example of successful conservation through sustainable use. The vicuña has been valued for thousands of years for its soft, fine wool.
Excessive hunting for European markets drove vicuñas to the brink of extinction in the 1960s. The animals were usually shot and the fleeces sheared off their carcasses.
In the early 1970s, CITES—which regulates the global wildlife trade—and the countries where the vicuñas range in the wild took measures that included a ban on trade in their wool, putting them on a path to recovery. By the 1990s, their numbers had rebounded to more than 200,000 (most of them in Peru), and regulated legal trading in wool resumed.
The wool of vicuñas—found in the Andean highlands of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile—has been prized for thousands of years. Poaching of vicuñas is on the rise despite a legal trade in their wool.
Back then, ecologist Cristian Bonacic, of Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, in Santiago, was at the forefront of developing best practice guidelines for sustainable, ethical use of vicuñas.
Bonacic, a doctor of veterinary medicine, is a leading expert on South American camelids, the taxonomic group that includes vicuñas, with more than 30 years of research experience on wild populations. Because of his work with Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, vicuña management practices were aimed at reducing stress during capture, handling, and shearing.
Today, wild vicuñas number more than 340,000 in the Andean highlands of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, but once again, poaching and illegal trading are threatening them.
Bonacic says that although inherent differences between rhinos and vicuñas mean that "sustainable" management practices of the two species would differ in detail, there are broad parallels between the two—and that lessons learned over the years with vicuñas apply to rhinos.
Speaking from his university office, Bonacic explains his recent shift away from the notion of sustainable use of wildlife, why a legal trade in vicuña wool has led to more—not less—poaching, and why he thinks a legal trade in rhino horn could be catastrophic for the species.
Tell us about the "sustainable use paradigm" and how it shaped your conservation vision more than 20 years ago.
According to the sustainable use paradigm, if wildlife can be used, it can be saved. This means that farming of wild animals and their conservation are explicitly interlinked. The idea was that if you can provide income to local communities from sustainable use of a wild animal, this will exclude illegal poaching. And indeed, the trend in the '90s did prove this approach successful in a number of places with a number of species. In Chile, we followed this paradigm like a religion.
But the world has changed, and many indigenous communities are now much more globalized. There are many more roads, many more exchange routes, including the Internet, which allows you with one click to buy something banned in one country and not in another. The romantic view that local communities can use an animal sustainably is simply no longer feasible in the 21st century.
What was the Vicuña Convention?
Vicuñas nearly went extinct from overhunting in the wild in the 1960s. In response, CITES placed a 30-year moratorium on trade in vicuña wool. From 1960 to 1980, there was no trade, but in the 1990s we reinitiated discussion about sustainable use of vicuñas under the Vicuña Convention—a specific agreement among the countries where the vicuña naturally occurs.
The agreement was for vicuñas to be sheared alive and returned to the wild, with benefits from the sale of fiber going to local communities. This plan required maximum cooperation of government agencies, local communities, and international conservation organizations like the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
Importantly, the trade in wool wouldn't reopen until after vicuñas had recovered in the wild. That didn't happen at the same pace in each of the vicuña range countries, or even within each country, with some populations remaining in jeopardy.
This is something that's happening for rhinos and elephants and other wildlife in Africa and presents a major challenge to "sustainable use"—that is, you can't guarantee that by starting a program of trade in a place where the animal is in abundance, you won't drive the animal to extinction through illegal use where they're still in danger.
While the vicuña populations in northern Chile are currently out of danger of extinction, the populations in the south are not.
Vicuñas were hunted to near extinction by the 1960s for their fleeces. Today, humane capture and shearing methods are widely used.
When did trade in vicuña wool begin again?
In 1997 at the CITES 10th Conference of Parties, in Zimbabwe, Peru was authorized to sell three tonnes [3.3 tons] of stockpiled vicuña fiber and develop trade in raw fleece. This marked the reopening of an international trade in wool sheared from live vicuñas.
Tell us about vicuña capture and wool harvesting.
We know from years of research on the stress physiology of vicuñas and guanacos that any human contact can be stressful for a wild animal. From the very onset, I led research and developed management practices to avoid the animals suffering while they were captured and sheared.
Between 2001 and 2005 we initiated a project—through a grant from the European Union—in the north of Argentina to institute sustainable use for the explicit purpose of protecting wild populations of vicuña. If sustainable use could provide a means of generating income in communities, and if these communities could demonstrate that their local vicuña populations had recovered, then they would be entrusted to use wild vicuñas to supply the trade in fiber.
Essentially, our model was based on the traditional chaku, in which wild animals were rounded up and sheared by Inca servants more than 600 years ago, before the Spanish arrived.
We funneled vicuñas into a series of corrals, placing hoods on them and shearing them without sedation—as wouldn't be the case for rhinos when cropping their horns—then released them back into the wild within their same social structure. The system proved to be animal-friendly, with almost no mortality, and easy to implement by local communities on their own.
Chilean ecologist Cristian Bonacic—a leader in developing best practice guidelines for sustainable, ethical use of vicuñas—believes lessons learned from trade in vicuña wool are applicable to the survival of white rhinos in the wild.
Prior to our efforts, Argentina had wild-sourced vicuñas for "farms," much smaller than Peru's "ranches," a pilot initiative that soon failed to prove to be socially and environmentally just. Some of Argentina's farms were established outside the natural distribution of the vicuña, and animals were even given to people who were not members of local communities.
Ranching was Peru's method of corralling vicuñas into large fenced plots, which can best be described as "semi-captive" conditions. This is a euphemism for saying that the animals were restricted in their movement and not really under proper care.
Our training of how to responsibly harvest wool from wild vicuñas was replicated in other communities across Argentina, and also in Bolivia and Chile. However, despite our best efforts, different conditions in different communities across vicuña range countries were instituted in such a way that we couldn't guarantee that animals were properly managed everywhere.
Poor welfare affects the population by adding a new mortality factor, impeding future captures and shearing, and hindering the economic viability of the program.
The concern now is that given low production volumes of wool, there's a shift from wild management—shearing of wild vicuñas as was agreed under the Vicuña Convention—to captive management schemes.
How do vicuñas fare under captive management?
Captive management, or farming, inevitably means artificial selection of certain vicuña traits, higher risk of disease transference—particularly when vicuñas and domestic animals are penned together—even lack of sufficient food because of overgrazing.
Sometimes, people put domestic llamas and alpacas in the same plots with vicuñas, creating hybrids that are not a desirable outcome of using wild animals.
There's impact on vicuña behavior from restricting habitat use, and even higher risk of predation on vicuñas when they're fenced and unable to flee a predator.
In other words, farming—unlike the chaku—leads to domestication, changes in health and behavior, and "genetic improvements," none of which are good for wild vicuñas.
Most of these problems are relevant to rhino farming.
Moreover, it seems to me that even less is known about rhinos than about vicuñas. The life history cycle of a rhino is different from [that of] a vicuña. The product—horn—that would be harvested from rhinos is crucial for their reproduction and behavior. What sort of conditions does a dehorned rhino require? How is it vulnerable without its horn? How is its mate competition and communication affected by dehorning or horn cropping? Can a farmed rhino ever be released into relatively more wild or free-ranging conditions?
We know from years of research that you can't shear vicuñas and then keep them penned, as they'll lose their adaptive response to cold, given that their fleece and mobility are what keep them warm. Isn't weaponry in the form of a horn part of a rhino's adaptive response, and if so, how do they compensate for its lack?
Why has a managed legal trade in vicuña wool not led to a decrease in poaching in the wild?
The availability and affordability of vicuña wool has ultimately not worked to protect wild populations from poaching. In fact, poaching has even increased over the past ten years in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.
The opening of the vicuña wool industry led to market expansion, which we did not anticipate. Increasing demand in turn led to more poaching, not less. Our worry now is that globalization could increase demand for vicuña wool beyond natural production limits, threatening wild vicuñas yet again. Already, illegal trade in vicuña fiber is creating tensions at the borders between vicuña range countries.
Vicuña poaching is not only increasing, it's also becoming more dangerous. In Chile, there are recent incidents of park rangers being killed by vicuña poachers. We've never had such a situation before. Chilean rangers don't use guns—they never had to.
The trade in vicuña wool also led to "stakeholder dominance," with Italian and Argentinean traders controlling the market. This means that benefits to traders are much greater than those enjoyed by local people of the Andean communities who source and supply the raw product. This gives communities less incentive to protect wild vicuñas.
Furthermore, as vicuñas are highly territorial, this affects how they distribute themselves across the landscape, which can incite poaching in one community's area by members of another community. This raises the complex issue of ownership.
Finally, the product—vicuña wool—is difficult to distinguish from the wool of guanacos and alpacas, which can be the same color as vicuña [wool]. We suspect that illegal trade is made possible by shipping vicuña wool out under the label of baby alpaca or baby llama wool. There's no easy way to verify the authenticity—or legality—of the product, as would also be the case for rhino horn, especially once it's ground up into powder.
Can you discuss other relevant experiences in Chile?
We shouldn't forget the example of the chinchilla, which is endemic to Chile. At the beginning of the past century, when chinchillas were in decline because of overuse for their pelts, someone took several pairs to North America and developed an entire new breed in captivity. Farming did not stimulate care for wild chinchillas, nor did it help avert their current near-extinction in the wild.
RELATED VIDEO: Researchers in Argentina tag a newborn vicuña in 2011 as part of a study to help in the conservation of the animal and one of its predators, the puma.
How can Chile's experience with vicuñas be a cautionary tale for South Africa?
There are a lot fewer wild rhinos than there were wild vicuñas at the start of the trade in their wool. If there's increased rhino poaching following trade legalization—even for a brief period and at a relatively low level compared with the present—this could be catastrophic for rhinos.
How would the profits of rhino horn trade be transferred to wild population recovery, ecosystem conservation, and local communities? How can responsible use of funds be guaranteed, given recent news of misappropriation of money gained from South Africa's elephant ivory sale in 2008?
What are the social benefits of using rhino horn as compared to vicuña wool? Would the world be promoting medical fraud by supporting rhino horn trade and usage?
Moreover, is it ethically acceptable to breed animals for the sole use of their horns for some so-called medicinal purpose? Societies should be prepared to ask themselves whether fashion and folk medicine can be allowed to drive species like vicuña and rhino to what could be their extinction in the wild in the 21st century.
Rhinos have a tremendous potential as a source of income if they're retained in the wild because of their huge tourist appeal. Rhinos attract far more ecotourism than vicuñas do, and are likely just behind elephants in that appeal.
I strongly believe that farming rhinos for horn production will drive the last specimens of a unique species into a scenario where they'll become more tame and less able to be part of the African ecosystem.
When you drive a magnificent animal away from its ecological relationships, you're taking away the whole meaning of wildlife conservation.

How to find Zones by feel.
I think the coaching world is pretty much all on board with the idea of training at different intensities for different reasons. You probably have a set of Zones based on some kind of threshold benchmark testing, likely a threshold run test, possibly a lactate test. I won’t delve into the benefits of training using these zones, maybe we’ll do that on another post. This post is about using feel for your run zones.
Coaches love data, usually. They form a clear pattern that allows them to analyze an athletes performance. At PB+J we absolutely set zones for our athletes, but they are always advised to race and train by feel. Here’s why.
Zones are a great long-term way of establishing different levels of performance. But we are not robots. Throughout the day, training week, training block, training season we fluctuate for various reasons. Sleep, stress, food, hydration, training fatigue, I could go on.
Athletes who stick to their digital training zones will fall into a few categories.
They may be training in about the right place, which is great, that is what the zones are for.
They will also hold themselves back. Improvements in ability mean you’ll go faster for the same effort. Train strictly to digital zones and you’ll be hindering your improvement.
More commonly, and worse of all, they will push too hard. The chances of us feeling a bit ‘off’ are much greater than the chances of sudden improvement. We will often train slightly fatigued or we may just not feel up to it. If we keep pushing to hit our digital zones rather than training by feel, we end up overextending ourselves and becoming even more fatigued.
PB+J Coaching advocates running by feel, using your various zones as a guide and as an ‘Indication’ of what we might consider a normal range. We always run by feel, and if that feeling goes against the normal range then it makes us question why, and then we can deal with it accordingly.
Blindly being incarcerated within your specific pace or HR training zones is a bad idea. It can reduce progression but, more usually, force you to train harder than you should be. Don’t enter the prison cell of data-driven training zones!
This isn’t anything new. Most good coaches will follow a similar principle. Where things get missed is in how that ‘go by feel’ translates for the athlete. How does a Zone 2 feel? How does a Zone 4 feel?
Sure, we have the digital zones as a guide. But, as mentioned above, these data points might not be right for us on the day. We have a list of Zones in our TRAINING ZONES blog post, but how can we place something more tangible on training by feel than simply feel itself?
Some days I just don’t feel I am being honest with my running. As we mentioned, it’s rare the day we suddenly improve, but common the day when we find the workout is tough. Even if it is a ‘normal’ day. Sometimes I get the sneaking suspicion that I am training harder than I should be. Seeing a quick pace on your run watch is a nice high!
On these days when I struggle with honesty in my pace, I revert to honesty via breathing. Breathing is a great way to bring you back down to earth. Your zones are related to effort levels, your heart rate will rise according to your effort levels in order to get oxygen around your system and remove Co2. Breathing gets oxygen into the system and CO2 out. So, your breathing should line up with your zones to some degree.
Breathing patterns are made up of a breath in and a breath out. The breath duration is measured in footsteps. A 4/4 breath pattern is you breathing slowly in for four steps, then exhaling for the next four. The slower you run the longer your breathing pattern can be. As we speed up, our exertion increases, our cardio and respiratory need increases, and therefore our breathing pattern naturally gets faster. Our breathing is a natural indicator of effort.
Zone 5 – Get all the breathe you can!
So, are you being honest with your Zone 2 run? Try running with a 4/4 breathing pattern for a while. If you can’t then you are likely running too quickly.
Practicing using these breathing patterns can also really help improve your lung use. Like we mentioned before, fresh air in, CO2 out. This means a nice full lungs of air and a nice empty expulsion. A lot of unexperienced runners seem to underutilize their lung capacity, breathing in short, shallow bursts.
Tip 1 -Focus on the ‘out’ or the exhale. The inhale will look after itself. Trust me on that one, it will! Most ‘shallow breathers’ simply do not exhale enough.
Tip 2 – The very end of the inhale and the very end of the exhale requires more effort and stress than they are worth. Focus on a steady ‘fill’ until it starts to get hard, that is far enough. Same with the exhale, don’t squeeze out every last drop, the effort and stress are far from worth it. Clean and smooth in, clean and smooth out.
Take a look at this article ‘Breathe Hour Way to a Faster Run‘ for more info on the importance of breathing.
What is one way of establishing running by feel? Use breathing patterns. If you can’t hold the breathing patterns for a reasonable period of time then you are likely running outside of your particular zone for that day. | 2019-04-20T08:50:39Z | https://pbandjcoaching.com/feel-run-zones/ |

Francois Hollande was elected French President in May 2012 on the promise of ‘reverting the unemployment curve’ using growth policies.
Three years later, the promise has not materialised. Unemployment in France is at historic highs. The latest jobless figure has reached the symbolic threshold of 3.5 million, writes Dr Emmanuel Martin.
Long-term unemployment increased by 10 per cent in one year. And that is only for category A in the mainland. The latest figure for all categories and all territories is more than 5.5 million.
This ties in with figures of rising business bankruptcies which are up 7.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2015.
A combination of unwise policies and constantly changing business rules is creating legal uncertainty. This is highly toxic for investment and risk, and has caused this tragedy. The new, but very modest, ‘supply’ turn is far from enough.
It is time for French politicians to really wake up.
The International Monetary Fund has pointed out the need for reforms in the French labour market where rules currently hinder competitiveness. The complexity of the the French labour code and the costs it forces upon entrepreneurs, ends up being a pro-unemployment guide. Even the redistribution measures, thought to benefit companies, are ignored by many businesses because they are so complicated and can lead to tax inspectors being sent out. The labour code, which regulates employment and trade union law, needs rethinking.
The IMF is right, but there is more.
French economist Bernard Zimmern said France lacks ‘gazelles’ - the fast-growing small companies which could create jobs. But for them to raise money is still complicated in France - more so than the UK, for example - because French tax rules penalise investors.
France must reduce its overall public spending as this is stifling not stimulating the economy. And, more and more people are hiding their activities in the informal sector to escape paying taxes and contributions and to avoid red tape.
But, as always in a post-election year, local taxes will increase. This is a symptom of the lack of sound management of taxpayers’ money.
Public spending will never be reduced until accountability is included in the French democratic process. This is the deep reform France has to undertake.
The shameful fact is that the big spenders of taxpayers’ money shield themselves from such accountability.
President Hollande has two years before the next elections. He will probably do nothing and use the fight against terrorism or global warming to fill the void. But this will not solve France’s economic woes. | 2019-04-26T01:56:58Z | https://www.gisreportsonline.com/french-unemployment-hits-new-record,expert-view,1719.html |
You can do it alone for all 10 marks or in a group of two for a maximum of 8 marks. This is to encourage enthusiastic researchers to do it alone and the rest to pair up and still put in a good effort. No request for a group of three will be allowed.
Absolutely no copy-paste or paraphrasing without an explicit reference and quotation marks. All plagiarism cases will be forwarded to Diciplinary Committee.
Write a 4-page research paper in ACM format using LaTeX (no other format).
You are to pick a topic and find five papers on the topic in top conferences (Best papers in OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS are good starting points) from 2000 onwards. Both topic and papers are to be approved from me by 30th April. You are to understand the papers in depth (a viva will be conducted) and write the 4-page paper.
Abstract: Why problem is your topic about. How is that problem solved by the papers you discussed. What is your take from the different solutions.
Introduction: Background and problem in your words. Put everything in context.
Comparative Analysis: Pick aspects of your problem, make them sub-sections, and discuss how different solutions handle that aspect. This is important to not pick papers and summarize them one by one and instead compare them on different aspects. For example, free space management is an aspect of file systems and different approaches handle it in different ways. Similarly, integrity and versioning are apects whereas indexed file system and log structured file system are complete solutions. This will be the longest section of the paper with at least 2 pages.
Conclusions: You describe here what are next issues that can be addressed in your opinion.
References: You list here in ACM format the key five papers you base your research on and in addition any other papers you read or took something from.
Looking through papers with best paper awards in recent OSDI, SOSP, and ASPLOS is a good starting point for other ideas. Topics about distributed systems are okay but you need to have the prerequisite knowledge.
Do not take this as an easy assignment. The last time I gave this assignment it resulted in the lowest average of all assignments. The main reason was that people just summarized different papers without a deeper understanding and without any comparative analysis. If you start early, you can always get feedback from me or the TA. Also, don’t keep learning LaTeX for the last day. It takes some time to get used to. | 2019-04-19T10:34:37Z | https://www.junaidharoonsiddiqui.com/teaching/lums-cs570-sp15/assignment3.html |

My friends over at Green Living Eco showed me how to make the Green Monster Smoothie a few months ago. Today I made one similar, but changed it up a bit.
Put the banana, spinach, blueberries in the blender/food processor first.
cover with the almond milk- add more or less depending on how thin you want it.
Blend until it becomes liquid, then add the ice cubes and blend some more to make it more of a smoothie consistency. It really is that easy! And so good and good for you!

Daniel Burwen is Creative Director at Robot Sea Monster Games and one of 50 world-class speakers appearing at VR Connects San Francisco 2017 on the 27th and 28th June. Here, the award-winning comic book creator and interactive storyteller explores how VR will change storytelling and looks at some of the successes in the medium so far.
As VR takes off, primarily in the entertainment space, there’s a lot of hubbub around how to tell stories with this new medium. How has VR storytelling shaped up over recent years with this groundbreaking new platform? To better understand the landscape, I’d like to start by framing the evolution of VR/AR industry at large and then dive deeper on the storytelling component.
The evolution of VR devices has been incredibly fast compared to previous technology products.
Technology has largely been dominating the headlines, as the evolution of VR devices has been incredibly fast compared to previous technology products. The technology side has been evolving quickly because it’s obvious where tech needs to go in the future - ending up with something like a pair of contact lenses that you wear all the time, every day, in all settings - both work and recreation - and not unlike our smartphones now.
We can reverse back from that eventual destination to a pair of attractive glasses, a pair of ugly glasses, and to the bulky expensive tethered headsets of today. The goals with technology are obvious: higher resolution, better visual fidelity, lose the wires, make it smaller, lighter, cheaper and so on... It’s not easy to accomplish these things, just that it’s obvious where to go next in the evolution and to be able to judge if progress is being made.
However, in the arts and media sector - where storytelling lives - this isn’t the case. If you look at the evolution of storytelling over the past 100 years or so, it’s predominantly been owned by film and television. Eadweard Muybridge created The Horse in Motion in 1878, giving rise to the medium and eventually to the first modern film in 1941; Citizen Kane about 60 years later).
Eadweard Muybridge's The Horse In Motion from 1878.
The experience of watching Horse in Motion and Citizen Kane is actually pretty similar to VR from a UX standpoint. You watch, you listen, you infer meaning. Granted, Citizen Kane employs many sophisticated creative techniques that simply didn’t exist in 1878, but that’s how storytelling and art in general evolves.
Editing, camera language, sound and other technological or creative approaches would come from decades of experimentation and innovation, but the fundamental medium and the way we consumed it stayed relatively constant. Through consumer adoption, it became the dominant media format of the 20th century.
As a result, we got a mature film and television industry built on a well proven process and formula for creating the medium. Screenplays, the three-act structure, talent agencies, production companies, film financing and distribution models - and now digital subscription platforms - have all been able to emerge and be sustained due to the format itself remaining relatively unchanged since Citizen Kane.
The film format has remained relatively unchanged since 1941's Citizen Kane.
In addition, virtually every media device you own can now play video. All video. From footage captured a century ago to the latest blockbuster feature film. And, the means to create and consume video have become all but completely democratised with the advent of smartphones and services like Youtube.
Rapid and constantly changing VR, AR and MR technologies make it almost impossible for storytellers and artists to master the form.
VR, by contrast, does not currently enjoy a stable and constant technological base to build from. Rapid and constantly changing VR, AR and MR technologies and the resulting dramatic changes in User Experience make it almost impossible for storytellers and artists to master the form, as the capabilities keep changing in a very short period of time.
This also creates a challenge for the established and monolithic storytelling machinery of Hollywood, which works on much longer timeframes for bringing projects to market. 18 months or longer is not uncommon for developing a feature film. However, 18 months in VR can see multiple steps forward with the technology and unfolding consumer strategy. As a result, you run a high risk of the project you originally outlined no longer making market or creative sense in light of these changes in technological and consumer behaviour.
For example, if 360 video was the end of the road for the format, and all our resources creatively and technologically were going towards figuring out how to best tell stories in that medium, we would probably get there fairly soon. However, the moment you add positional tracking (6DoF) to a headset and allow the user to see the real world through it (like with the Occipital Bridge), the overall experience is fundamentally different from where you were merely months before as an industry.
Suddenly, all the issues of 3DoF 360 video are either rendered moot or no longer make sense within this new User Experience. This affects our third issue and the one that matters the most: consumer adoption.
Has Occipital Bridge already made 3DoF 360 video redundant?
If consumers can’t create a consumption ritual around a product, it will never catch on.
At the end of the day, if consumers can’t create a consumption ritual around a product, it will never catch on. Film and television evolved from a series of prior media consumption rituals. After consumers were accustomed to going to the movie theatre, in and of itself a ritual derived from attending stage plays and other live performances, the TV set started appearing in living rooms of the home in the late 1940s. It was taking the place of the fireplace where the family gathers for social time and in the past, the time-honoured tradition of telling stories to each other.
The space never changed. Rather, the technology came to fit a behaviour that was already there, first made familiar by attending theatres. TV was also originally broadcast live as radio had been before it, before eventually becoming film-based, thanks to I Love Lucy giving birth to the rerun.
Games in general have struggled with story, primarily to do with the abstract interfaces.
Conversely, where do consumers go to use a VR headset? What pre-existing behaviour can we build on? When you’re isolated from the people immediately around you as is the situation with the headsets of today, you need to look to other places in the home where being isolated makes sense.
The workbench and reading nook spaces are often where people go for a deeper individual experience, sometimes connected to others socially online, but the workbench is not a mainstream media consumption space.
PC gaming is a large demographic, but not one especially known for deep forms of narrative. Games in general have struggled with story for a variety of reasons, primarily to do with the abstract interfaces used to control them. We eventually saw standardisation of the gamepad, born out of the use of the TV remote control, but it remains an interface comprised of pushing buttons and levers.
It is because the interfaces of VR / AR are so natural that we can finally develop interactive narrative experiences with deep emotional content.
It is because the interfaces of VR / AR are so natural that we can finally develop interactive narrative experiences with deep emotional content. But the skillset needed to create these types of experiences doesn’t really exist yet. You see bits and pieces of it out there, floating around in indie gaming, web documentary and other fringe subcultures that have largely remained below the radar of mainstream culture, but only now are we starting to see a demand for this rare combination of user agency with narrative. There is little-to-no documentation, knowledge, process, workflow, or even a library of consistent experiences to draw from as we figure it out.
That’s not to say that the medium isn’t emerging. Every week there’s something new and noteworthy to examine and learn from. Much like the early experimental filmmaking of the late 1800s and early 1900s when many modern filmmaking techniques like editing and camera language were being discovered and evolved, we’re now in a similar phase of VR narrative.
360 video made a big impact when it first emerged at the start of the VR industry. Being camera based, it’s a natural departure point for mainstream Hollywood culture to dip its toes into this new medium as many of the technology, workflow and general processes can be recycled.
However, grammar for telling stories is ripe for discovery once again. Much has been written on the ‘death of the rectangle’ in this regard. Paul McCartney, Live And Let Die At Candlestick Park is noteworthy because it was one of the first applications of this medium to show the potential with subject matter that resonated with mainstream audiences.
One of the first applications of the spherical video format is to incorporate previous formats within it. Real employs both traditional media and stereoscopic 180 imagery to create a context aware story that acknowledges the limitations of the medium. This is a key factor for creating effective narrative in VR, and this is an excellent example. Whether techniques like that of Real will endure remains to be seen.
I Expect you to Die is a seated experience using the mouse, designed for the DK2. The game does a great job of acknowledging and embracing the limitations of the interface and of the medium, creating and experience that feels good because your limitations of not being able to stand or move freely, not being able to pick up things with your hands are explained and framed in the experience.
Jesse does a great job explaining the experimentation behind using the mouse as a way to express user intent in the world, including visual queues for leaving objects hovering in space.
Accounting is a room-scale experience built in a crash world, intended for mature audiences. It’s a collaboration between the creators of Rick and Morty and Stanley Parable, a highly successful example of a walking simulator narrative game, (worthy of an article in and of itself).
Like I Expect you to Die, what Accounting does well is work within the boundaries of a Vive / room-scale experience. The spaces you navigate through are room-scale themselves, so you never feel like you want to travel outside the trackable volume.
Many Vive games employ a teleportation mechanic (more on that later) to overcome the limitations of room scale. But I would argue that unless that mechanic is built from the ground up into the narrative, it will break immersion.
What Accounting also does incredibly well is employ reactive audio queues from a pair of obnoxious but hilarious narrators. This creates a sense of connection with the characters in the game, but because you can’t talk back, frames the limitation as a strength.
Locomotion mechanics are a tricky part of VR right now and a challenge that isn’t going to go away anytime soon. For home use, the boundaries of the user’s home is pretty much set in stone – perhaps quite literally - so room-scale will remain room-scale for the foreseeable future.
The question is how to make locomotion an integral part of the experience, so that the user gets more drawn in the more they use it. Budget Cuts has perhaps one of the best designed and most engaging locomotion systems to date and the resulting immersion and sense of freedom is one to study. Combine that with satisfying interaction models and the world is one you can stay in for a very long time.
Wilson's Heart is a great example of putting resources in the right places. While not without its flaws, it draws on similar conceits to Accounting, in that you essentially teleport to pre-existing locations in the world and then employ a variety of very satisfying interactions in that world, often novel and memorable.
Adventure Time: Magic Man’s Head Games is a great example of how to take an existing franchise into VR. You’re in third-person, watching Finn and Jake run and jump around the world in this platformer. What sets this experience apart is that the characters talk back to you, so you have a relationship with them as the player and they acknowledge your existence; there’s even a moment when Jake takes a selfie with you.
This game does a lot of things right and despite its limited scope, I can see this setting the groundwork for the future of the ‘show’ where the audience is a live participant in the story from the get-go.
Gary the Gull is an early attempt at creating a fully interactive character in VR that actually speaks to you and responds to your input. It’s a simple experience, where a talking animated seagull in Pixar like fashion has a conversation with you and responds based on where you are looking.
While not without its flaws, this is a bold experiment in creating a character that responds to you, when current VR input is limited to pushing buttons and looking around.
Unlike the technology side of the industry, the path to VR storytelling is neither direct nor obvious. To succeed, we will need a combination of patience, persistence, an open and honest sharing of our learnings and failures, along with the right lens, language, approach, and expectation.

While countries worldwide still pursue low rate strategies, the implementation of the G20/OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) recommendations are forcing governments to look for alternative forms of business incentives for competition, according to a report by EY.
EY’s Outlook for the global tax policy in 2017, combines the surveyed forecast of EY tax policy leaders in 50 countries as well as government proposals and known legislative changes.
According to the report, out of the 50 countries surveyed 30% want to invest in broader business incentives to encourage or sustain investment with 27% more countries than in 2016 offering new or improved business incentives. Similarly, 22% of surveyed countries plan to introduce greater incentives for research and development (R&D) in 2017, with new or improved R&D incentives already being offered in 83% more countries than last year.
Another incentive looked at by EY’s report is change in corporate income tax rate. It highlighted that eight countries, representing 16% of the participants, already have laws in place which will lower their corporate income tax rates in 2017. However this is less than in previous years when 18% of countries reduced those rates in 2016 and 22% did so in 2015.
The eight countries which will be lowering their corporate income tax in 2017 are: France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovakia and the United Kingdom.
While 40 out of the 50 surveyed countries (80%) do not anticipate any changes to their corporate income tax, two countries (4%), Chile and Canada will slightly increase their rates.

Therefore it is selfish, no matter how this self justifies it, explains it or understands it.
Every act hides a motive that offers soemthing to the actor, even if he may not be aware of it consciously.
Feeling good, means you are gaining from what you are doing.
I feel that all my motives are feelings on towards my awareness of the world and that helps me to live in the world.
Where does the 'self' and 'world' meet?
If there's no difference between self-interest and selfishness, then there's no difference between confidence and arrogance.
Self-interest is simply selfishness rationalized; confidence is simply arrogance rationalized.
Words have connotations, baggage, shades of meaning, subtlety, detail, nuance for a reason. Sometimes it's simply rationalization. Sometimes it's the difference between understanding and war.
Everything is towards self intrest. In the end we are oursleves and nothing else.
Selfishness and selflessness are terms that define our actions, If we rationalize everything to be in our self intrest. Then it stops us from putting any values on any of our actions.
In the end we lie to ourselves to hope make this world a place "we" would want to live in.
selflessness is towards the world, selfishness is towards ourself and ONLY ourselves.
if we could not understand these dull terms, than i can explain no more.
The 2 terms are to inner judge the reason we follow in terms of what we shoud "do".
if we take Nothing to be valid or "rational" unless it provides a basic need for us (in other terms a material need). Then we are selfish.
If we take nothing to be valid or "rational" unless it provides a basic need for others (in terms of material needs). Then we are selfless.
These 2 terms can not be used in terms of feelings. They were never defined as such.
when we talk of selflessness, we never talk of emotion. That was the key to defining the words.
I doubt they are in any way an expression of "emotion" being a selfish aspect.
emotion is not within the equation here. Actions are.
Again, to be selfless is also to take your personal emotions out of the equation.
It is in other terms, not to exist as a "person" but only to exist within ourselves taking nothing from the world.
It is a utopian concept, that is never achieved.
But the concept of selflessness is not to be negated by the quickest rational explanation we tend to explain it by.
It is one of those things better left untouched, and we can only try to become more selfless (in terms of our actions, not our feelings of course).
What we feel on the inside as a consequence of our actions does not alter the fact that we did those actions, and for whatever reason we did.
we help others, not because it makes me feel good, but because i "feel" it's the right thing to do.
after all it's an insight that we all have, but the lot of us refuse to accept simply because they explained it as a selfish need.
explaining the concept, does not deny it's benefits. Even if i am to help others "because it makes me feel good", then i am helping others, and that's all that matters in the end.
if we discover that our personal emotions had nothing to do with the actions we did, then we can only then learn at a very basic point that we are trying to be selfless.
And we can never assume it to be true, since when we do we are selfish, and only persuing our own egotistical need to prove that we are in our own terms better than others.
here comes the ego problem.
and if we try we need not to rationalize everything as to only be in our own self intrest, since if we did that assumtion. It stops us from achieving something we thought was impossible.
again, belief in good is the good in people.
the abscence of belief in good, is the bad in people.
i dare not say which is which, it's all a matter of opinion.
again, if we claim knowledge of something. We've already lost the battle.
i hope this explained anything, since i doubt we can explain the terms if we relate them to emotion.
we can also say, selfishness if to act from personal emotion. selflessness is to act from rational thinking about everyone, without including or excluding anyone, even ourselves.
it's an improbable ideal, but it does exist (relatively of course).
Well, I agree with everyone here. And disagree, too.
I agree with Ziltoid in that there is nothing that can't be considered as a degree of "selfish". In that respect, I disagree with Eye because the term "selfless", interpreted literally, doesn't really exist, and the word, interpreted literally, doesn't really match the thing it's describing.
But I disagree with Ziltoid in the sense that the term "selfish" is too loaded with negative connotation to really describe the "rational" behavior that Eye is referring to, a distinction that I label with the term "self-interest". So I agree with Eye's distinction between the negative behavior usually characterized by the word "selfish" and a more enlightened kind of "rational" behavior that isn't so negatively categorized.
To me, it's all self-interest. Selfless self-interest (almost an oxymoron) is the more rational, considerate, compassionate kind of behavior that humans actually live; and selfish self-interest is the "me-first in spite of anyone else" type of negative behavior that humans actually live as well.
I think the distinction is important because either one or the other doesn't really describe all that humans do.
If we were to describe being "selfish" as in gaining an emotion from our actions, (here is left to be defined as which emotion is good, which is bad. to each his own i think).
then we are all selfish.
But again, if we discuss the terms of which hurts whom, instead of which benefits whom. we get somewhere.
that's the path i took in my last post.
if we think of "who" would be discomforted by our actions, and we think only of ourselves, then we might be selfish.
if we think of "who" would be discomforted by our actions, and we think only of others, then we might be selfless.
again i was trying to categorize the words in terms of better understanding of the subject.
again comfort and discomfort are a matter of opinion, thus the whole issue here becomes vague.
as i said in my previous posts, we can only know if we are selfish.
we can never know if we are selfless.
we can try to be selfless, but that's the whole point of an "ideal" to begin with.
reaching for something we know we can not attain should not stop us from trying, since the whole point of reaching for an ideal is the process, and what it "can" do to better our world.
there's a saying that all actions are seen as they are in their intentions.
i think combining the words selfish and selfless under one roof of self interest would not benefit us as a whole in any way.
Hence why i refuse to combine them.
But we all know it all circles down to how good of a person we want to be.
Now but if we were to discuss everything that happens within ourselves knowing that it doesn't affect anyone but ourselves, in the terms of being selfish. Then we would stay within ourselves being nothing of the world.
The terms are SOCIAL terms to define our inner intentions.
Hence the common confusion with the 2 terms.
We need to learn to separate their social meaning from their personal meaning.
Me wanting to "be" selfless has in no way become selfish.
Me wanting to "appear" selfless with less regard to the truthfulness of the definition, has been a selfish path to begin with.
Me wanting to not abide by such a common ideal as being selfless, is selfish.
Me wanting to "be" selfless to please God, is selfish.
Me wanting to "be" selfless from fear of Hell, is selfish.
Again, these are very common terms taught in most religions.
Assuming their meaning as being the same has taken out our potential ability to be selfless.
Learning how the 2 terms are different from each other, helps us understand their meaning and benefit.
Again, we all know the meaning of the words, we can tell if we are being selfless and selfish if we empathize.
If we can not empathize, then we are not quiet sure of what we are.
If we haven't seen any selfless act, or been able to imagine one. That's a whole different matter.
as i said before, think of self sacrifice..
I still like to believe that not all of our actions are out of self interest.
Well self interest rules 99.9% of the actions on the planet.
But still, it's not to be negated just because we haven't seen it.
(the words aren't what they are to me, they are what they are to the general population).
Altruism ends up being a desirable state of mind because irrespective of it being selfish, it is inherently good for the whole. It is therefore in society's programming to look positively at people like that and negatively at those that are not.
The only difference, however, is what we view as optimal for our self interests: helping others, or screwing others. | 2019-04-21T03:16:11Z | http://www.captaincynic.com/thread/84416/1/altruism-and-selfishness.htm |

The National Testing Agency NTA is a government by formulated by MHRD i.e. Ministry of Human Resources Development of Government of India to administer the entrance examinations. For now both JEE Main and NEET are held by Central Board of Secondary education. However CBSE expressed displeasure in conducting entrance examination as it gets over burdened.
Also need was felt since long to establish a centralized testing agency. Now NTA is formulated and to begin with it will conduct national level engineering and medical admission tests for under graduate courses. The agency may hold JEE Main and NEET examinations twice in a year.
In my personal opinion this step will be good for candidates and in favor as they will get chance to write two tests in a year. | 2019-04-24T15:47:38Z | https://www.careercare.info/2017/12/jee-and-neet-will-be-held-twice-in-year.html |

Hello there, Sketchfabers! My name is Joe Velasco and I’m a 3D generalist and VFX artist born in Venezuela from a Spanish mother, raised in the Bloomington, Indiana, and now living in Spain. A world citizen as I like to call myself!
I studied both advertising, and audiovisual communication and I´ve been working in 3D and VFX for over 15 years, mostly for tv commercials but have done some photogrammetry, VR, and 3D printing as well. I’m now working as a freelancer.
Since I stumbled upon Sketchfab, 3 years ago I’ve been amazed by how good can real-time assets look on this website. Up until now, I was only a “lurker”, but I’ve decided to give it a go and start posting my PBR stuff. It’s extremely fun to tweak the looks and in a matter of minutes start building an online game-res portfolio!
I usually sculpt directly in ZBrush using Dynamesh, and most of the time I don’t even model a base mesh anymore, it’s faster to retopo in Topogun afterward. But both the squid and bottle were such simple meshes that it made more sense to create them with traditional poly modeling. Since the squid’s suckers would be small and looked at from a distance I decided to model them as simple cubic shapes on the low-poly mesh and check if that could do the trick. I could have made less of them and made them bigger to save polygon budget but since it’s just a personal project and I liked the way it looked I did it that way, making it kind of in the middle of realistic and stylized!
Since the floor is completely flat and the ink pushes up I could use the baked Thickness map as the base for my ink opacity map with some levels adjustments to get pure black for the transparency and some slight fake AO shadows painted on top (In Photoshop). The roughness map was also created in Photoshop based on that clean opacity map (without the fake AO).
For the bottle, I wanted to fake some diffraction to make it more colorful. For that, I hand-painted and distorted some rainbow-like patterns In Photoshop which I then projected over the inner bottle in substance painter.
For the squid texturing I used a combination of hand-painted splotches in Painter and 3 Photoshop generated “Filter/Render/Clouds” images which I projected as masks onto fill layers (in Painter) to be able to control the look non-destructively. Everything else was done with Painter´s own stencils and brushes, even for the eyes I used Painter´s coffee stain and circular stencils in several layers, nothing fancy.
I enjoyed quite a lot uploading and tweaking on Sketchfab, it’s an amazing tool for showing our real-time assets online with industry standard post effects that help us pinpoint the look dev since you can upload and publish only when you’re happy.
As a final note, I want to thank the Sketchfab team for staff picking this “Squid Ink Bottle” project!
And I want to thank them also for taking it into account on this Art Spotlight! Having over 1K views really caught me by surprise, so thank you all for visiting and liking it also, I really appreciate it! I’ve not been very active online in recent years and decided to change that, so expect more from me soon. I’ll keep on sharing free models and having fun on my Sketchfab account.
Absolutely one of my favorite models on Sketchfab. Thanks for the great behind-the-scenes!
thanks for sharing that process.. this is a gorgeous model!! | 2019-04-24T08:58:11Z | https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/art-spotlight-squid-ink-bottle/ |
Horizon Zero Dawn was released in Europe on March 1st 2017, exclusively for PlayStation 4. Three different physical versions were available: a regular edition, a Collector’s Edition that came with a Aloy statue, and a Limited Edition.
The Limited Edition comes in a sturdy paper case with a nice artwork on the front showing the main character Aloy and one of the robotic beasts roaming the world.
Pulling the tempting red ribbon that protrudes from the side slides open the box, like a drawer from a cupboard.
Inside are two items. First of all, a steelbook containing the game itself. The steelbook has the same art as the slipcase, but with an additional decoration on the back.
The inside of the steelbook is decorated as well with a nice panoramic views of one of the game’s environments.
Secondly, there’s a small artbook. It contains a nice collection of artwork including environments, characters and weapons from the game.
Lastly, some downloadable content is also included. An exclusive PS4 theme, two outfits and two bows, and the Banuk Traveller pack and Carja Trader Pack.
All in all a more than decent edition. Both the outer case and the steelbook look great and the art book, though a bit low on content and small in size, is a nice little extra. For just a little more extra money than the regular version of the game, this Limited Edition is a good alternative for collectors who don’t have the money or the space for the more extravagant Collector’s Edition. | 2019-04-19T12:21:27Z | https://www.videogameshelf.com/?post_type=post&p=4484 |
Leadership is action. Action to make sure that everyone around you also takes right actions at right time. Leadership is also a position. A position to own every outcome of an act of self and the team. There are several styles of leadership. The classification is mostly based on the function, followers and the context.
The current generation of businesses is increasingly dynamic – in every element of their functioning, product/solutions, and customers. Digital Transformation – Business transformation through digital levers are making it much more dynamic to organize, collaborate and stay relevant. Hierarchy of decision making and control is losing relevance. Significance to real-time, unconventional, playing-to-win operational style is increasingly gaining momentum.
In order to maneuver well and stay on-the-course of building a remarkable business, you have to participate in every significant action of your business. You have to self-select to own the risk of every key decision, build a tolerant system and a culture of winning and executing well. Choose participation v/s delegation. Helps to cut time, show-case courage and build confidence within the team. Practice participation to evolve as a strong and dynamic leader. Participatory leadership is the way-to-go.
Participatory leadership is all about respect and engagement. When you respect and engage with your customers, your employees and your partners, you end-up building a system that becomes energized well and every craft you build, becomes the most remarkable one. When you participate completely, you are showing the respect and engaging well. People follow the leader and his style. You end-up building the most enviable business and make way for many more through the people you touched! | 2019-04-18T20:57:56Z | http://dreamerdoers.com/practice-participation-to-evolve-as-a-leader/ |

1. Get the most of your seating space. Slipcover sectional sofas are a great way to utilize your space and offer ample seating in a small room.
2. Display your collections. Collections can table up too much space if you are not careful. Gather your collection and display it instead of letting it take up space in boxes. Sometimes we may have more things to love than we have room to display them all if this happens create a seasonal display instead!
3. Mirror reflection. Hanging a large coastal mirror will relfect light in your space as well as make the room feel bigger.
4. Raise your drapes. Drapes and curtains installed close to the crown molding or ceiling is a great way to make your space appear taller.
5. Barstools that tuck away. Space is limited so it's important to keep what open feel you can. An easy start can be with your coastal barstools, opt for ones that tuck under the island or bar. These coastal rattan stools are a great example.
6. Repurpose things to fit your needs. Found driftwood or your old surfboard become artwork, dressers become TV consoles, stools become plant stands. Dual purpose items are key to making small spaces work.
7. Be Organized. Organization in small spaces is so important. Chaos needs more room.
8. Statement Lighting. Pick a great coastal chandelier to light your space. Make a staement and a design choice to show your style, small spaces can handle big design very well.
9. Let the light in. Keep the drapes open to let the most natural light in. Beach houses are open and airy- make your small coastal cottage feel open with light.
10. Don’t be afraid to move furniture around. Keep an open mind and remember your space holds opportunities for change.

Dogs make for truly great pets. They love their owners unconditionally, and bring them a great deal of happiness. The more you know about caring for dogs, the better. This article will give you the start you need in your journey to canine wisdom.
TIP! If you have over-the-counter medication or prescription medication in your home, keep it in a place the dog can’t access it. Getting into those pills could seriously impact your dog’s health and even cause death.
Make sure you are using the right flea treatments on your pet dog. There are ingredients in some of them that can risk cancer in your children. Discuss family-friendly alternative flea treatments with your vet. Be sure to store all flea treatments out of the reach of children.
Do not force your dog to eat things. If you’ve purchased your dog treats that it doesn’t want to eat, set them aside. Not all dogs like the same things.
TIP! Dog training should take place on your property. You do not want to train your dog around a bunch of people.
Dedicate enough time to correcting bad behavior right away. Turning a blind eye to it just makes it harder to fix down the road. It is possible that your dog could injure a person, and that person could be you! So correct unwanted behavior right away.
When making a dog food selection, the cheap stuff is rarely the best choice. Your dog will enjoy greater health benefits from nutritious food. Quality brands are more expensive but they will significantly increase the life expectancy of your dog.
TIP! Don’t buy cheap dog food. Cheap brands are full of fillers, preservative and even chemicals.
Some dogs are more likely to have certain health issues, so you need to know what is expected for your dog. Check out their heritage and try to prevent problems that you know they’re prone to. Your vet can also tell you how to give your dog the best odds for overcoming any conditions that are typical for his breed.
When you leave to work, leave music on for your dog just to be nice, or if he has separation anxiety. The noise can help him feel more secure. This might just quell his anxiety while waiting for you to return.
Get your dog spayed, and if you have a female in heat, take extra care that she does not become pregnant. A male dog can smell a female in heat from up to five miles away. Your dog could cause some fights and you will be responsible for finding new homes for the puppies if your dog gets pregnant.
When choosing an animal to cohabitate with an existing one, try to arrange an introduction before deciding. Most dogs enjoy another dog’s company, but some dogs do not get along. If you find two dogs that can get along, you’ll save yourself some trouble.
TIP! If your dog behaves badly, correct the behavior immediately. Ignoring it for any length of time will only make it that much more difficult to contain later and you never know what could happen as a result of it now.
Always think carefully before you bring dog into your home and life. Dogs can easily steal your heart, but they also require a lot of care. Always consider everything involved with becoming responsible for another life, and be sure you are able to handle it all.
When you first start out training the dog see what kinds of rewards work best. What does your dog like best? If your pet loves food, try giving it its favorite vet approved treat. You could also play tug of war for a few minutes to reward your dog. Occasionally, a dog may just want to be petted for their reward.
TIP! Your dog’s nails should be trimmed regularly. When they start curling under, the dog runs the risk of experiencing pain.
Don’t have high expectations with your dog. Dogs have a much shorter attention span than humans do, so adjust your training time with your dog accordingly. Try training your pet little by little. Don’t try to teach it too many things all at once, and be patient. This will help you to be sure that your dog doesn’t associate training with being punished.
If your dog is going to be left alone during certain times of the day, create training it is probably a good idea. That way, you don’t have to worry that your things will be destroyed or that the puppy will have accidents all over the house.
If you’re going to get a dog, you should have him trained. Your life, and the life of your new dog, will be much happier and rewarding if he is well-trained, and knows how to obey your commands. While puppies usually learn commands easier than adult dogs, older dogs are still able to learn.
Take some time to consider where you want your new dog to sleep. Never let your dog sleeps with you or inside the house if you want to keep it in a crate. If, however, you want your dog to sleep with you, just make sure you are okay with this happening every night for the entire course of your pet’s life.
TIP! If your vet has given you medication or special instructions for your dog, make sure that you follow them. For instance, your dog may need a cone and not like it, but your vet prescribed it for a reason.
Check with your vet about the type of food you should be feeding your dog. Certain dogs have health issues that point to a particular sort of diet. If your dog is in this category, feeding him the wrong food could harm his health. Work with your dog’s vet to choose the food which will be the best fit.
Buy your dog chew toys in order to avoid chewing on unwanted items. Those are particularly for dogs, and can satisfy him without destroying things in your house. There are many places you can buy these things, including your local supermarket.
TIP! Check your dog for ticks and fleas every day when the weather gets warm. You can also use a comb to expel any fleas.
Nothing can match the unconditional love of a loyal dog. However, the more you know about your dog, the better your relationship can be. With the tips you’ve just read through, you can improve your canine care skills. Use these tips to ensure you reap all the benefits of dog ownership. | 2019-04-25T14:11:44Z | http://dog.interlottoes.com/tips-for-finding-the-perfect-dog-for-you-and-your-family/ |

Indiana University East celebrated the class of 2018 last month with the conferral of 831 baccalaureate and master's degrees. The years of hard work and determination these graduates have gone through culminated into one evening of celebration with family, friends, faculty and staff at the commencement ceremony. Many will join the more than 80 percent of IU East alumni who continue to live and work in our region.
As chancellor, I'm reminded that each student crossing the stage to receive their diploma has made sacrifices to get to where they are today.
Lucas Huffman is an example of one of this year's graduates who met obstacles on the way to earning his degree in biochemistry. Lucas was captain of the men's basketball team, leading the Red Wolves to their second trip to the Fab Four at the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship. He had to come back from a severe knee injury suffered last year to be able to play this year. Lucas was determined to finish his degree on time and return to basketball, and he succeeded at both. This year, he was the Naomi Osborne Scholar, the IU East graduate with the highest GPA, and he was named as first-team, NAIA Academic All-American.
Lucas demonstrates the determination and drive many of our graduates have to succeed.
Student success could be defined in many different ways. At IU East, we focus on different aspects of our academic programs and campus life opportunities for students as part of our strategic plan and to provide the best higher education experience possible for all of our students.
When a student enrolls at IU East, we want them to know that the education they receive here is of the highest quality, yet offers diverse options for hands-on learning, research and creative projects. To help students meet their goals, we offer academic support and career preparation for life after college. And, there is always more to college life than academics. We provide our students with vibrant campus life opportunities so that there are several options to be involved on campus -- whether through involvement with student government, clubs, athletics, or academic honors societies -- or within the community.
Many people -- including faculty, staff and, most importantly, students -- have told me that IU East is like a family, and we are rightly very proud of that. The personal attention and support we give our students is one of our greatest assets.
Recognizing that, the campus has pinpointed certain areas in which we are making strides toward improvement, all with the end goal of helping our students be as successful as possible in their pursuit of higher education.
Enrollment has doubled since 2007. As a campus of choice, we attract top students from local high schools such as Richmond, Seton Catholic and Centerville.
Over the past few years, we have made tremendous gains in retention and graduation rates. During our commencement ceremony in 2017, we celebrated a record-breaking graduating class, and this year's class of 831 was almost as large.
Many people -- including faculty, staff and, most importantly, students -- have told me that IU East is like a family, and we are rightly very proud of that.
Campuses across the country work diligently to improve student retention. At IU East, we have provided more support and engagement for students in their first year through University College. We have hired more online student success coaches. We are a leader in online education, and about 50 percent of our credit hours each semester are online.
First-year students receive individual counseling, academic advising, career planning and student success workshops on topics such as financial literacy. We hope to see many of our freshmen returning for classes this fall. Currently, we are above our enrollment for freshmen at this same point last year. We are cautiously optimistic that this figure points toward a greater retention of our freshman class compared to last year.
Student success is also found in the many research and creative projects our students are involved in through their academic pursuits.
During Student Research Day in April, students shared the projects they have been working on. The presentations included scholarship from courses, independent studies, travel opportunities, summer research programs, Honors Program projects and creative endeavors such as writing for the student newspaper, The Howler, or Tributaries, the journal of student writing and creative work. It was wonderful to see and hear about the variety of work our students have accomplished.
As chancellor, I have the pleasure of working with our Student Government Association. These students are deeply committed to IU East and have been productive in improving the campus based on student feedback, including input on the installation of a new sidewalk leading from the main entrance of campus to the Student Events and Activities Center, providing a safe route for students attending campus athletics and events.
Our online students bring a unique perspective to success as well. Enrollment in online programs continues to increase at IU East. I had the pleasure of meeting with our online students during a special luncheon hosted for distance education students on commencement day. The luncheon provides online graduates with the opportunity to meet their peers, faculty and staff in person, to tour the campus and to take part in the traditions of commencement.
IU East alumnus James Strong Jr. spoke at the luncheon. James received his B.S. in business administration as an online student in 2013. An acclaimed musician and producer, he is the director of IU Soul Revue at IU Bloomington.
The class of 2018 certainly has many accomplishments to celebrate. As a campus, we look forward in celebrating their success as alumni.

I've been using Foldershare and now Live Sync on a variety of Windows and Mac computers for years... I just installed List Sync on a new Mac, and the program doesn't seem to start or get installed properly.
I downloaded the latest installer, and it assured me that Live Sync was installed correctly. However, the application doesn't start. Also, there's no "Live Sync" or "Windows Live Sync" application in /Applications, nor is there a "Live Sync" or "Windows Live Sync" under /Library/Application Support or ~/Library/Application Support. | 2019-04-25T22:03:47Z | https://www.vistax64.com/threads/mac-client-not-starting.215274/ |

It’s that time of year where you have no idea what the weather is going to be. It could be rainy, foggy, sunny…even bordering dangerously close to toasty; one just never knows. Yesterday I had a tank top, this morning a sweater, this afternoon I couldn’t make up my mind at all. It’s spring, and it’s time for transitions.
And so goes my life. I had a five year plan, but life…doing as life do… keeps mixing it up. The dreams not really changed, nor the goals, but the map is… shifty? It’s turning out to be, not at all, an A to Z adventure. In fact, there’s more twist, turns and false starts than a political candidate during election season. I’m not sure what the next step is… so I’m pausing, trying to make up my mind. Trying to make sure I don’t pause too long, but that I pause long enough; giving enough time to plant, and let the rain fall, and the seeds sprout and grow. It’s the spring of a new adventure, and it’s time for transitions.
But it is transition time; and this time, I want to enjoy spring. I welcome the unknown, the adventure, the sometimes scary, the sometimes brilliantly triumphant, the unexpected; I’ve got my umbrella, my sweater, and my sunglasses. I may not be ready for anything that happens, but I’m ready to learn and grow. It’s the the springtime of my adventure; shifty map, or not, onward. | 2019-04-19T16:58:11Z | https://www.chasingwhippoorwills.com/springtime-and-transitions/ |

Today’s educators could learn a lot from Britain’s reformist Liberal prime minister, William Gladstone.
Four times PM, Gladstone had some fine ideas. In 1870 he introduced compulsory written examinations for recruitment to the British civil service. This was to avoid and overcome corruption and to ensure that candidates had the appropriate skills.
He succeeded admirably, and with drastically lowering academic and entry standards in our universities we might want to think about adopting similar measures. But these days, written exams seem very much out of fashion.
In 1970, Australian universities began replacing examinations with “continuous assessment”, which involved submitting multiple essays. This was sometimes accompanied by “oral work” , presented by students as a group.
Sitting in an examination room with no books, no notes, nothing but pen and paper, it is hard to cheat. But when students are assessed on the basis of essays written at home or in a library there are few safeguards. Students can copy, and buy, material from anywhere , as they are increasingly doing.
In the current issue of the online journal ‘Driftless Review’, highly respected Sydney-based scholar Michael Wilding compares his early university experiences with the current sorry state of academia: “When I was an undergraduate, continuous assessment had not been introduced. I wrote my weekly essay and read it to my tutor, and that was it. It was never formally marked.” Because there were no examinations until the end of the year, students could allocate their time as they wished. As he confides, this was a marvellous opportunity for a young would-be writer: “If you wanted to take a term off to edit the student paper or produce a play or write a novel, you could. I did. Then you worked hard to catch up.” This meant students had an opportunity to think more creatively, without the constraints of continuous, time-gobbling assessments.
When Wilding arrived at Sydney University as a lecturer in 1963 there were examinations at the end of each year, but through the 1960s and 1970s it could still boast of what he terms, “a civilised program of three 10-week terms and three vacations a year, which allowed some space for students to develop their creative gifts”.
The current sad state of contemporary universities could largely be solved by jettisoning continuous assessment and returning to compulsory end-of-year (or even end-of-semester) written exams, held in a public place and vetted by an independent body. This would be for the betterment of students, staff and the wider society.
Rather than allowing failure in exams to be offset by high (and often utterly underserved) assignment marks, universities should promptly introduce a compulsory requirement to pass end-of-year written exams as a pre-requisite for passing each course. This would directly address plagiarism and the purchase of essays online.
At the same time as the reintroduction of compulsory exams, there should also be vastly improved and independently vetted university entry standards, which would ensure that, before starting university, minimum standards in numeracy and literacy have been achieved. This would apply to all students seeking admission to Australian universities, not just from students who come from overseas.
When Wilding and I began university teaching , he at Sydney University, myself at University of NSW and then at Griffith University , there were three terms and three vacations, the latter used to pursue research. For permanent tenured staff, sabbatical leave of six months every three years, or a year every six years, allowed talented academics to concentrate on research.
But now academics have to apply for research council funding and be peer reviewed on every project, submitting a detailed description of the project before a scholar has even begun it.
As Wilding observes, anything challenging or original is unlikely to be approved. Moreover the current practice is that academics use grants to pay for someone else to do their teaching. But surely the benefits of research should feed into improved or better teaching?
The department in which Wilding worked still issues a regular bulletin. But it no longer lists staff members’ publications, only grants received. In the ‘Driftless Review’, Wilding wryly remarks that taking early retirement is the one thing in his academic and scholarly life about which he has no regrets.
One does not need to be an Einstein to understand that a consequence of turning higher education into an industry has been the necessity to accept squads of high-fee-paying students with lower levels of skills. These include those coming from China and elsewhere overseas. Another consequence has been the need to assist such students to complete their degrees by lowering academic standards.
The reintroduction of end-of-year written exams vetted by an independent authority would be an extremely useful reform. However, it does not address the problem of universities needing to be properly funded.
A helpful beginning would be to radically reduce the number of our universities, which currently are too many by half. At the very least, this would save millions of dollars each year in unnecessarily duplicated administrative and other costs.
Emeritus Professor of History and Politics at Griffith University, Ross Fitzgerald is the author of 36 books.
Ross Fitzgerald (“Universities need examination”, Times2, May 4, p1) rightly concludes that the sector itself needs to change. Fewer more efficient publicly funded universities need to replace the current mishmash. Tiny fiefdoms cannot be expected to provide the efficiency and punching power needed to meet the 21st-century demands of the domestic and global markets for high-quality university education and research.
Ross Fitzgerald (“Declining university academic standards need examination”, Times2, May 4, p1) is, as usual, right on the money in pointing to the problems associated with declining academic standards.
Any reluctance to fail inadequate work to prevent the loss of revenue is a blight on the whole system. It is not only that some students are allowed to enter university without the ability to pass unless the standards of marking are lowered, but also that they are allowed to continue in later years.
In my view, the standards should be increasingly tough in second and third years, the object being to produce a really skilful elite rather than a multitude of mediocrities. And these best and brightest should not have to pay for their tuition, but should be allowed to have the time to develop other life and personal skills.

This post contains common different methods of functional partitioning and common considerations for database setup and capacity. In any case, design or company DBAs, developers, engineers and architects should consider the pros and cons of any method of sharding or partitioning. In the end, compromises will have to be made given the pros and cons of a system setup.
I have seen many different database system setups and overall architectures that span the full scope of centralization and decentralization from a database perspective. In the typical Web 2.0 startup, it can be hard to determine what the systems will actually do when brought live in production; that said, we have to start somewhere and base our decisions on many factors. Some of those factors are budget, horizontal and vertical scaling, projected growth and projected usage based on trends and other hypothetical information.
In any Web 2.0 company, you might face problems such as data growth sprits, a massive influx of unpredicted usage either caused by the users of the product or from an external source. In many cases, I have found that good database and query design, proper indexing and horizontal functional partitioning are the main keys for success as a DBA.
For the sake of this article, we will look further into functional partitioning and go through a few examples. This type of partitioning offers a good way to separate numbers of users from each other in a horizontal fashion. From here, you should have a better understanding of what is possible for your installation(s) and what to consider when planning functional partitioning.
In this example, notice we have 1 host (server), 1 MySQL instance (mysqld process), one database (schema) and multiple tables. In this case please imagine multiple users sharing the same schema, so, all users will have their own specific rows throughout each table in the schema.
Overall data size, connections and growth are what I would be looking at specifically in this and all setups. This setup is beneficial when you have many users with small datasets or row print within the database (megabytes worth of data per user). The expected data growth per user in this setup is expected to be minimal over time and the amount of users would be expected to grow to the determined capacity and performance of your server. Gauging the capacity is not a difficult task but it will differ based on your data and performance metrics.
This setup can be detrimental when a specific user's data grows outside the average data needed to support that user. In the event one or a select few users grow out of scope we will need to migrate the large user(s) off or migrate all the smaller users to another MySQL server.
In this setup, we are running one MySQL instance on one host and every user has its own database with its own schema. The flexibility of this setup is somewhat optimal, operationally speaking, given that the migration of users from one MySQL server to another would be relatively easy. On the other hand, you might have to deal with hardware specific limitations such as open file limitations and operational overhead such as a schema change.
With this setup, it is easy to identify specific users on the server and gather more granular data on a per user basis. The migration process for larger users is also simplified given that all of a user's data is stored in a unique database. This allows operations to migrate N networks on a 1:1 ratio to another server either for performance or space requirements.
This setup has all the benefits of a single instance, multiple database, one database per network with the added complexity of multiple instances. Yep, I said it, added complexity. I have run this setup before on a few installations and have to say that I would prefer NOT to do this but felt it necessary to add it to this post.
You can think of each instance as its own mysqld process either running on a bound IP address or on a different port. In the example above, I am using multiple ports, 3306, 3307, and 3308.
1. You are planning on your data and user base getting larger but don't really have the hardware or FTE recourses' or trend analysis to make a good decision.
2. You are planning to eventually to migrate full instances to their own MySQL server or cluster.
3. You have the ability and are willing to functionally shard your user base on multiple levels.
I am not initially inclined to go with any of the preceding examples until I have some data on which to base my decision. In any case, you'll need to figure out what way works best for you and your specific system. More than likely, you'll need to compromise on one or many levels based on your specific requirements. Below are three of the top requirements I typically run into before deciding on functional partitioning.
Please note that there are many other ways to shard or partition your data. These are just examples but the list could go on and on. | 2019-04-21T13:04:15Z | https://www.databasejournal.com/features/mysql/article.php/3884701/MySQL-Functional-Partitioning.htm |
Think about it; business is about our customer, not about our product or services. When we put all of the attention on our products or services we forget about the most important component that keeps our business running: customers. This is why providing outstanding customer support is extremely important. Excellent customer support will more than likely create loyal customers for life.
The CARP system was developed by Robert Bacal in his book ‘Defusing Hostile Customers Workbook: For the Public Sector’ to help people in customer service jobs deal with hostile customers in a more timely, efficient manner.
Control – The customer attempts to control the interaction, by causing you to become defensive, angry or off-balance. The key in reasserting control is to behave in ways that send the subtle sub message “your techniques are not going to work on me”.
Acknowledge – It is important that the angry person see that you understand his/her emotional state and the situation. So, when we talk about acknowledging, we are talking about two major techniques, empathy and active listening.
Refocus – Refocusing involves making the transition from dealing with the emotions to dealing with the actual problem.
Problem-Solve – Problem-solving involves actions like getting and giving information, suggesting possibilities and appearing helpful, offering choices as available, agreeing on a course of action and following through.
Non-responsiveness can be a nightmare to a customer who is trying to resolve an issue, get help or even simply trying to find out more about what you are selling. Speed is especially important when your customer is requesting something that is time sensitive. Even if you don’t have an answer yet, let them know you are looking into the issue and will be back in touch as soon as possible. Providing a prompt response will not only show them you care, but will also make them satisfied and more likely to recommend your brand.
It is extremely important to listen very carefully to what your customer is communicating to you. Make sure you totally understand what they are saying and don’t hesitate to ask for clarification on things you are not completely sure of. It may be that your customer is unfamiliar with certain terminologies in your profession and could mean something completely different than what you initially thought. Making sure you understand the first time will prevent frustration from your customer.
Having someone available to answer a call or chat is not the same as having someone to help the customer. Be aware of the customer needs and be sure to show respect; treat them the way you would want someone to treat you. Make sure your main focus is that the customer walks away happy; never let your own emotions take over that desire. Always ask yourself if you were treated the way you just treated your customer would you enjoy that experience? If not then make note of it and work on ways to help yourself be better prepared for that situation in the future.
Think of yourself as an expert in your profession and an adviser to your customers. Make sure you know your products and services like the back of your hand and stay up-to-date with them. Always be ready to answer questions clients may have. Take note of the most common questions customers have and make sure you are able to give them a clear answer. If your customer gets the idea you don’t know what you’re talking about they will probably look elsewhere.
Think before you make promises. If you are not 100% sure you can offer what you are promising, don’t. Broken promises will damage customer relationships by destroying trust and make your company look unreliable. Reliability is incredibly important in a customer service relationship.
Go the extra mile when it won’t cost you a lot of extra time or money. A simple offer can go a long way when trying to resolve an issue with an unhappy customer. This also works well on gaining satisfaction from new customers; surprise them with something unexpected and they are more likely to recommend your business.
Remember keeping customers is just as important as gaining customers if not more important. Give your customer more than just a reply. | 2019-04-26T12:20:56Z | https://hostek.com/blog/helpful-tips-on-providing-excellent-customer-service/ |
Last Thursday, January 12, 2012, Superman himself landed in Chicago. Geoffrey Canada is the founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) in New York City, star of the pro-charter, edu-documentary "Waiting for Superman", and guest on shows like 60 minutes, NBC’s Education Nation, CNN, and even Oprah (before she left the airwaves). Canada gave the keynote address to a group of hundreds in Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago as part of an event celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr..
Harlem Children's Zone CEO Geoffrey Canada (above, second from left) has parlayed his narrative into a lucrative career attacking public education, unions, and public school teachers on behalf of corporate America and its leaders. Above, Canada stands with billionaire Bill Gates (left) and the producers of the teacher bashing movie "Waiting for Superman" in Toronto in October 2010. Canada was a charismatic speaker who had the audience laughing and nodding along for much of his address. He spoke of himself as a “social justice guy” who is convinced that “if our country continues to treat the children of this country the way we do, we will destroy this country.” He angrily cited statistics about how America incarcerates more people than any other country on the planet, disproportionately affecting Black and Latino youth. He spoke out against food companies that contribute to the poor health of our nation’s children in the name of profit. “Seventy-five percent of kids in the U.S. do not qualify for the military,” he said, due to being so overweight and out of shape they cannot pass the military entrance requirements. He stormed on about how “children are vessels for commerce” as companies sell them soda and food so bad for them they have become physically ill.
Canada spoke powerfully on many of the very real obstacles standing in the way of success for too many of our nation’s youth and their families. He lamented about the corporate greed which has created these problems by preying on the children.
And then he started to talk about education.
For some inexplicable reason, the same man who railed against corporate greed making kids overweight and throwing them into the lucrative prison system sees no problem joining profit-mongering corporate education reformers. Canada fully embraces the market-based, semi-private charter school model. Canada’s string of charter schools in NYC takes public money in combination with the many millions Canada raises from the rich and powerful. A bona-fide 1%er himself, Canada justified his wealth saying in order to raise funds he needed to “do what rich people do” and “hang out with rich people”.
He has allowed the worship of test scores to run his schools as they are the prime marketing tool to collect more revenue (and by revenue, I mean students). In order to get those stellar test scores, the HCZ Promise Academies, like so many other charter schools, place a strong emphasis on test prep and skill building and push poorer-performing children out of their schools.
In fact, the very first cohort of children coming through the middle school had such poor scores that the board decided to kick them all out. The HCZ advertises its schools all over the city, unlike the neighborhood schools which do not have the funds to “compete” this way. His schools spend nearly three times as much per-pupil as the nearby neighborhood school, yet he unabashedly claims it is the great teaching alone which makes all the difference, again as a way to market the schools.
The schools are sometimes co-located with neighborhood schools and HCZ flaunts their new books, new computers, and small class sizes in front of the kids who were not “chosen” and have nothing. In addition, they take on fewer of the hardest to educate (and therefore most expensive) students like children with special needs and English Language learners as they simultaneously take away public funding from those neighborhood school kids who need it the most. I believe Dr. King spoke about equality for ALL, not the few picked to receive extra funding and resources by some lottery.
Canada points out the embarrassing incarceration rates among Black and Latino males and then chooses to run his schools like tiny prisons with little room for creativity, play, or the home culture of its students. They sometimes have up to five adults in one classroom, thanks to the extra revenue they receive from outside sources. The philanthropy that supports his schools is collected in part by his charisma and connections, a model which is neither sustainable nor replicable for other schools to follow.
His non-unionized labor force experience poorer working conditions and often lower wages as he burns through staff at a far higher attrition rate than nearby neighborhood schools. From the very pulpit Dr. King himself once stood, a man who was a staunch supporter of unions and labor rights, Geoffrey Canada began his favorite, well-rehearsed rant on teachers and their unions. He roared about “accountability” saying “Teachers, if you can’t teach, you should get another job” prompting one of the biggest applause lines of the night.
After pointing out all the troubles ailing children including poverty, sickness, and exploitation by the rich and powerful, he unapologetically talked about the adults “making excuses” for failure, but only in reference to teachers! He never once mentions his rich, corporate friends and donors when talking about education. The well-documented unequal school funding systems, especially at the state and local levels, were not discussed once.
Geoffrey Canada has allied himself with the nation's anti-union corporate leaders and with some of the most reactionary political and cultural leaders of the 21st Century. Above, Canada with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.While he pours money into his schools, he refused to acknowledge the role money plays in education. According to Canada, teachers and teachers alone are the problem.
Oh, and in education, corporations are our friends.
While the HCZ has provided real relief for many families living in dire conditions, an action which should be applauded, I cannot reconcile this noble mission with the use of the corporate-backed charter school model. Even the NAACP has released a statement rejecting charter schools. Canada’s distain for unions, the abuse of his non-unionized work force, his justification of raising funds for some children at the expense of others, his decision to treat children like prisoners with rigid “zero tolerance” discipline policies, and his alignment with the very corporate forces who would destroy public education and its promise of equitable free quality education for all, are all in direct opposition to what Dr. King actually preached.
The University of Chicago should be ashamed to hold an event like this in the name of Dr. King. Then again, perhaps it was fitting having the poster boy of corporate education reform speak at the very University which birthed many of the most destructive neoliberal policies decimating first our economy and now our education system. Superman, your type of saving is not wanted in Chicago.
[Editor's Note: We are still waiting to get a copy of the video of Canada's University of Chicago speech. But Geoffrey Canada has a kind of stump speech that you can hear anytime he is speaking, and much of the report above summarizes it. Basically, the speech involves an old salesman's trick. Identify a problem and then "solve" it with your product. Geoffrey Canada is solving the problems of segregation and unequal education of the 1950s and 1960s by ignoring the real problems of the 2000s and 2010s — and by attacking teachers and unions and pushing corporations and privatization. One of the best videos that give Canada at his peak was made in July 2010 during the "Aspen Ideas Festival" (the same event that featured Jonah Edelman bragging about how Stand for Children outfoxed and outspent the Chicago Teachers Union during the fight over SB 7 in the Illinois legislature). Canada and Roland Fryer, a professor of economics at Harvard University, did a panel that last almost an hour, and it's as quick a way as any to get the same information Canada presented at the University of Chicago in January 2012.

A number of countries, mostly small and island economies manage fixed exchange and often devalue it as a stabilisation strategy. The current paper investigates the effectiveness of devaluation in improving trade balance with reference to Fiji. A small island economy has limited exportable and hence highly depends on imports for both consumption and production purposes. A devaluation, therefore, inflates domestic price and appreciates the real exchange immediately by raising importable consumption and discouraging imports used in domestic production. The paper applies various econometric models for empirical investigation of its impact and transmission mechanism. Strong long-run relationship found between real exchange rate and trade balance explains that appreciation of currency has been responsible for the rising trade deficit in the economy. Moreover, the devaluation did not demonstrate J-curve phenomenon. The effect of devaluation strongly contributed to the domestic inflation has been while quite weak on stimulating aggregate demand. | 2019-04-21T16:23:15Z | http://repository.usp.ac.fj/8783/ |
Ok, Dutch Treat was so much fun! Scary, but fun. All those cognates and words that look like they should be pronounced German style but they definitely shouldn't! Now it's on to Paris. There really is a story about the night train from Amsterdam to Paris—and maybe it'll appear on these pages before the concert...or maybe not!
Anyway, what with our school concert at the TSVBI and taxes and preparations for next year and the Tallis Scholars [I'm sure you're all going to that!] and grant applications, it's a busy, busy week: So back to work for me!
What better place to finish our 2015-2016 Eurotour than in Paris? Renowned for its popular music of France from the 16th and 17th centuries, Paris City Limits regales audiences with exciting dances, popular folksongs, dazzling chansons, and heartfelt songs of love and melancholy by the masters and by some relative unknowns!
There will be intimate chansons which deal with scenes of daily life: lovesickness, marital arguments, romantic friskiness, and more, and TEMP’s 19-voice chorus will perform large scale motets by masters such as Jean Mouton (Nesciens mater, for 8 parts) and Janequin’s spectacular musical chanson about the birds (Le chant des oyseaux) as well.
Lively dances by Attaignant and others feature our special guest artists Mary Springfels (viola da gamba), Peter Maund (percussion), and exhilarating Breton folk music rounds out the concert (yes, Cayla Cardiff will sing that song) as TEMP explores both the rustic and the sophisticated sides of Parisian and country life in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Our featured singers include countertenor Ryland Angel (New York), mezzo Erin Calata (Seattle), TEMP regulars Jenifer Thyssen, Meredith Ruduski, Cayla Cardiff, Stephanie Prewitt, Jeffrey Jones-Ragona, Thann Scoggin, Gil Zilkha, and more. The instrumental ensemble features our guest artists, as well as harpist Therese Honey, violinist Bruce Colson, our viol consort (Jane Leggiero, Stephanie Raby, John Walters), recorders (Susan Richter & Victor Eijkhout), and lutenist Scott Horton. | 2019-04-26T03:47:59Z | https://www.early-music.org/blog/tag/Chansons |

Q-switched lasers are recognised as the only really effective lasers for tattoo removal. They have the ability to reach deeper layers of skin tissues (especially compared to older generation laser technologies) and to break down all the available inks and combination of inks.
With new advances in Q-switched laser technology, we can achieve tattoo removal with minimal risk of scarring and permanent pigmentary alteration.
Q-switched alexandrite laser (755 nm) – black, blue and green pigments.
The Q-switched laser produces an intense, focused beam of light into the pigment (colour) used in the tattoo.
It delivers light energy in very short ‘pulse-durations’, and at a specific wavelength for each pigment.
Each pigment absorbs the light energy at the corresponding wavelength produced by the laser, which causes the tattoo pigment particles to shatter into tiny particles.
The pigments are therefore broken down into a size that the body can process and eliminate more quickly.
Removing a multi-coloured tattoo will involve a number of treatment sessions using all three of the Q-switched lasers above.
Can all types of laser treatment remove tattoos?
Non-Q-switched lasers (such as IPLs – Intense Pulsed Light lasers) are unable to deliver the targeted bursts of intense light energy at the wavelength that is absorbed by tattoo pigment.
They are ineffective at destroying the tattoo pigments and may damage the surrounding skin.
Is Q-switched laser treatment suitable for all tattoos?
There are different types of tattoo (for example amateur as well as professional and cosmetic), which may respond more or less effectively to treatment.
It may be that certain pigments used in the tattoo do not respond to any available wavelength. Also, some pigments may simply turn brown or black rather than be removed, and not respond to further treatment.
We will discuss the various factors involved in evaluating the laser removal of tattoos, and the likely outcome, during your consultation for the procedure.
We may also need to do a test patch to find out if a particular pigment will respond to treatment.
How do I prepare for my laser tattoo removal treatment?
We recommend that you avoid excessive sun exposure in the few days before the treatment starts.
Laser tattoo removal can be painful, as with other types of laser treatment.
Before the procedure starts, we numb the area we are treating, either with an anaesthetic cream or by injection with lidocaine. You may need to allow up to 2 hours for the anaesthetic to take effect.
We wipe off the anaesthetic cream just before starting the treatment.
As well as the anaesthetic, before starting the procedure we may take a photograph of the tattooed area of skin, to monitor progress during the course of treatment.
We can offer you a cold air device to help further minimise discomfort.
As the laser starts to work on the tattoo, you will feel a stinging sensation, often described as like an elastic band flicking sharply against your skin.
Each treatment session can last from 5 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the tattoo we are treating.
At the end of the procedure, we apply an antibacterial ointment to the treated area.
Irritated skin – you should expect mild or moderate irritation of the overlying skin for up to a week after treatment, depending on the amount and depth of the pigment removed.
Hyperpigmentation – your skin may appear darker (especially if you already have a darker skin type) in the treated area. While any darker patches should eventually disappear, you can use skin products to conceal uneven skin tones if needed.
Hypopigmentation – your skin may appear paler in the treated area. This is because the laser treatment targets natural skin pigment (melanin) not just the colour in the tattoo inks. Your natural pigmentation may take months or even years return to normal, if it ever does fully. The likelihood of this increases for people with darker skin, and if you need a number of treatment sessions to successfully remove the tattoo.
Scarring is possible but less likely, as the laser does not affect surrounding skin tissue. If scarring does occur, for whatever reason, you may find a silicon scar-reduction gel helpful.
The number of sessions you need depends on the type (such as amateur or professional) and the size of the tattoo, as well as the depth and type of the pigment used.
You may need anything from 3 to 20 sessions, at intervals of 8 to 10 weeks, to achieve an acceptable result.
The process could take a year or longer to complete, and even then some trace of the tattoo may remain for some time.

LinkedIn Corp. co-founder Reid Hoffman plans to invest in Entrepreneur First, a London-based hub for startups, according to people familiar with the situation.
The investment could be announced as early as Monday, said the people, who asked not to be identified because talks are private. The amount of capital Hoffman is investing into Entrepreneur First could not be immediately learned. A spokesman for Entrepreneur First declined to comment. Hoffman could not be reached for comment.
The backing of Hoffman is a significant boost to Entrepreneur First, which finds technical and business talent — from computer scientists to banking analysts — and then brings them together in order to create startup companies.
Hoffman is a partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners, and in March joined the board of Microsoft Corp., three months after the world’s largest software maker acquired LinkedIn. Hoffman is also on the board of room-rental startup Airbnb Inc.
Founded in 2011 by Alice Bentinck and Matt Clifford, Entrepreneur First follows a similar model to YCombinator, the California-based financier that has backed Airbnb, Dropbox Inc. and Reddit Inc. At the U.K. company, accepted candidates receive a monthly stipend, followed by a small seed investment in return for an 8 percent stake.
Magic Pony, a London-based artificial intelligence startup, is arguably Entrepreneur First’s most significant success story. Twitter Inc. paid about $150 million for Magic Pony in 2016, earning Entrepreneur First around $6.5 million from a $16,000 investment. | 2019-04-21T16:51:27Z | http://moneystreetnews.com/linkedin-co-founder-hoffman-to-invest-in-u-k-startup-hub/ |

The presence of faked, forged and pirated goods is a threat for brands. They can be protected by RFID, assigning an identifier code to each product. Both customer and merchant benefit from this solution. Customers may check the originality and quality of purchased products while merchants are guaranteed that their products are not false copies.
MobileKnowledge has developed an anti-counterfeiting solution, ready to use with an NFC-based, mobile Android device and a Web Server based on Google App Engine.
The mobile Android app, compliant with Android 4.0 and upwards, ensures that the product has been registered by the merchant against the web server, which tracks the products UID and the queries. This solution employs asymmetric cryptography for the NFC tag verification. It also uses the uniqueness of the NFC tag UID for the product authentication in the backend server database.
Moreover, the developed framework allows merchants to obtain real-time statistics on the products being verified. They can then combine the authentication functionality with marketing offers and loyalty applications, which a mobile phone can trigger. | 2019-04-24T06:29:02Z | https://www.themobileknowledge.com/project/originality-authentication/ |
It was a challenging evening for Team Honda HRC’s Christian Craig, as crashes during the 27-lap main event left him in 16th by the checkered flag. Craig got a decent jump out of the gate but was delayed in turn one when other riders went down. The Californian worked his way into 11th place before he lost the front end in a rut on lap three, sending him to the ground. Craig went into salvage mode upon remounting in last place, trying to recuperate as many positions as possible. While in 14th with less than two minutes remaining, Craig was working his way around a lapped rider when the two came together, sending him to the ground once again. He lost two more spots and ultimately crossed the finish line in 16th place.
Meanwhile, Smartop/Bullfrog Spa MotoConcepts rider Justin Brayton continued his impressive campaign, scoring a notable podium finish. Brayton got off the line to a seventh-place start aboard his CRF450R before working his way into fourth by lap three. On lap 21, Brayton took advantage of another rider going down in front of him to secure the final podium position.
The Indianapolis Supercross track showcased the shortest lap times of the year, with some riders dipping as low as the 43 second mark during daytime qualifying practice. Brayton was again the top Red Rider, securing the fifth-fastest time with a 44.060” lap, while Craig was eighth with a time of 44.424”.
Slotted in heat 1, Craig launched his CRF450R to a solid third-place start. On lap five, he made a blazing pass on Chad Reed through the whoops, taking over second and transferring straight to the main event. In heat two, Justin Brayton scored the holeshot aboard the No. 10 CRF450R, leading every lap to take his third consecutive heat-race win, and his fourth of the season.
The Indianapolis Supercross marked the first of two 250SX East/West Showdowns, with riders from both regions competing for the top spot. It was a dream night for GEICO Honda’s Jeremy Martin, as he rode impeccably aboard his CRF250R from start to finish. Martin scored the holeshot and led wire-to-wire, taking his first victory of the season.
Though he’s still out of action, Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen attended his fourth race of the season since his injury in San Diego. Although the pits were closed, Roczen was kept busy throughout the day, interviewing with Fox Sports 1 for a feature that will air during the summer and joining Jim Holley and Daniel Blair on Race Day Live before heading into the Fox Sports 1 broadcast booth to commentate during the East/West Showdown alongside Ralph Sheheen and Jeff Emig. This marks the final 2018 supercross race that Roczen will attend, as he’s scheduled to have surgery on April 11 in Vail, Colorado, where Dr. Viola will remove the pins from the German’s right hand. The procedure is expected to be quick, with Roczen scheduled to head home the same day and begin riding on April 16.
After running for 12 weeks straight, the AMA Supercross series will take a welcome one-week break over Easter weekend. Team Honda HRC will return to action in Seattle on April 7 for round 13. | 2019-04-19T13:16:42Z | https://ama.hondaracingcorporation.com/report/tough-night-for-craig-in-indianapolis-brayton-third/ |
We, students and concerned citizens of India, condemn the murder of six people and the disappearance of 43 students of the Raúl Isidro Burgos Normal School from the town of Iguala in Guerrero on 26 September 2014. The disappeared students were taken by the Police on this day and have since been missing. In India too, we have been witness to a long history of impunity of the State Armed Forces that have been consistently used against democratic and peaceful forms of protest and organisation. We are shocked by the gravity of the crime that reflects the deep-rooted culture of impunity built over many years in Mexico, and perpetuated by the 'War Against Narcotraffic' intiated 8 years ago. Your pain is our pain.
In the search for these disappeared students, we have to come know that several mass graves were uncovered pointing to the many more disappearances over the years. We are aware this is not an isolated incident and is only the last in a long series of disappearances and murders. According to Amnesty International, over 22,000 people have disappeared without any proper investigations into these crimes. We stand in solidarity with you in your fight against repression and violence of the Mexican government and the impunity it provides. We salute your struggle in the search of your beloved children and in demanding the State's accountability and transparency in their disappearance.
We stand by you in your courage for having come out into the streets of Mexico to confront the violent State that has tried every trick up their sleeve to malign and divide your voices for instating a true democracy. We are watching the manner in which instead of heeding your demands, the Mexican government is responding with more and more repression and arbitrary detentions. We have faith that this will not deter you from continuing to demand justice, and remain inspired by your courage. You are not alone. We stand by you in this important moment in the building of a truly democratic Mexico and send our revolutionary greetings from other side of the world. | 2019-04-19T10:28:55Z | http://nsi-delhi.blogspot.com/2014/12/statement-in-solidarity-with-search-for.html |

The South Pacific nation of almost 5 million people is reeling from last week’s apparently well-planned terrorist attack.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s Cabinet will begin overhauling New Zealand’s gun laws on Monday after the nation’s worst mass shooting in modern history left 50 people dead.
The gunman opened fire on worshippers in two mosques in the South Island city of Christchurch on Friday, and live-streamed the attack to social media. Police recovered two semi-automatic weapons, two shotguns and a lever-action firearm, which the attacker could own legally because he had a category-A gun license.
New Zealand’s gun ownership rate has risen in the past decade to become one of the highest in the world, yet its homicide rate remains well below global norms as many of those weapons belong to hunters and farmers. The previous government in 2017 rejected recommendations from a parliamentary inquiry to tighten the laws.
Ardern has indicated her response to the mosque shootings may echo that taken in Australia, which enacted sweeping reforms after a massacre in 1996 left 35 people dead.
The South Pacific nation of almost 5 million people is reeling from last week’s apparently well-planned terrorist attack. The gunman walked into a packed central city mosque and opened fire, killing more than 40 people. He then drove across the city to another mosque and continued the rampage. He was arrested as he fled in a car from the second mosque, with police running him off the road.
Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian, appeared in court at the weekend charged with one count of murder and is likely to face further charges, according to police. He didn’t show up on any government security watch-list, nor did he have a criminal record in New Zealand.
Civilian gun ownership in New Zealand has increased 62 percent since 2005, according to GunPolicy.org, a firearm prevention group, with the total number of weapons, both legal and illicit, reaching 1.5 million in 2017.
Nevertheless, murders using guns are rare. In the decade to 2015, there were only two years in which the number of such homicides reached 10 or more. The nation’s overall homicide rate of 1.2 per 100,000 people is well below the global rate of 6.4, according to a WHO report from 2015.
Gun licenses can be obtained starting at 16 years of age. Residents must show up at their police arms office, typically at the police station, to apply in person. There are restrictions on semi-automatic guns, and the licenses of gun dealers must be renewed annually.
A parliamentary inquiry released in April 2017 urged tighter gun registrations, more controls on gun dealers and owners, and the creation of a new category of restricted semi-automatic weapons. Most of the recommendations were rejected by the government, then ruled by the center-right National Party.
Australia undertook a huge overhaul of gun-ownership laws in the wake of the 1996 massacre in the tourist town of Port Arthur. Conservative Prime Minister John Howard angered the gun lobby and some rural voters by quickly pushing through legislation that banned semi-automatic weapons and tightened registration rules. The changes have been credited with making mass shootings relatively rare in the country.
Along with a ban on semi-automatics, she says New Zealand needs a clampdown on weapons advertising and a register of all firearms.
Gun shops reported increased sales around the country on Saturday, including semi-automatics, ammunition and magazines, as people rushed to acquire them before the government acts, according to the Newsroom website.
New Zealand auction site Trade Me said Monday it was halting the sale of semi-automatic weapons while it waits for more clarity from the government.
Tarrant grew up in the small Australian city of Grafton and worked in a local gym as a personal trainer, Australia’s Nine News reported. He left his job in 2010 after the death of his father and traveled extensively. Turkey has confirmed he spent considerable time there, and there are reports he also visited Pakistan, North Korea and Eastern Europe.
He posted a manifesto online before the attack, suggesting a racially-motivated act of terrorism. In a rambling document that’s dozens of pages long, he says he was inspired by Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, who was responsible for the deaths of 77 people in 2011. Officials are reviewing whether his actions on social media should have brought him to the attention of intelligence agencies.
Australian authorities are helping New Zealand with its investigations. Counter-terrorism officers on Monday searched two homes in the same region as Grafton to obtain material to assist with the probe.
Tarrant’s family continue to “assist police with their inquiries,” police said in a statement.
Ardern said she is seeking advice on Tarrant’s possible deportation to Australia but it was too soon to say whether that is likely. | 2019-04-26T16:24:13Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/world-news/new-zealand-mosque-attacks-jacinda-arderns-cabinet-begins-efforts-to-overhaul-gun-law/1519419/ |
Four Boston Teamsters stand accused of trying to extort the show for driving jobs. All have pleaded not guilty.
Erica Ross, the show’s former co-executive producer, has testified Tuesday that she witnessed the same incident, saying that Lakshmi was “visibly terrified.” Lakshmi is expected to testify tomorrow.
Video of that incident was shown in court today. Watch it above.
“Your momma would be so proud,” she can be heard on the tape telling Redmond.
“At least I’m not a scab like you,” he shot back.
Several Milton police officers, who were on hand to keep order, “didn’t do anything,” she testified. “They said [the Teamsters] were within their rights.” The police also reported that the tires of several production vehicles had been slashed, but they made no arrests. And the next day, Milton police sent the show an invoice for $2,846 for providing security.
Top Chef had arranged to shoot another episode at the Omni Parker House a few days later, but the manager of that union hotel, when informed that the Teamsters would be picketing, withdrew the invitation rather than make his staff cross a picket line. So the producers scrambled to find a new location, and settled on the Steel & Rye restaurant in Milton, where the final battle with the Teamsters occurred.
During the morning session, a group of about 30 high school seniors — all of whom have been accepted to attend Harvard — stopped in the courtroom to witness an actual trial in session. They heard the back-and-forth direct and cross examination of Carbajal and then saw the video played on monitors. The students left the courtroom en masse immediately after the video ended. “We were shocked. The language was disgusting,” said one. “I felt really bad for the woman on the stand,” said another.
Redmond and Cafarelli have pleaded not guilty in the extortion trial, along with fellow Local 25 Teamsters Michael Ross and John Fidler. Mark Harrington, the local’s former secretary-treasurer, pleaded guilty to the same charges in December and is serving six months of home confinement and two years of probation. He’s also been ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and restitution of $24,000. | 2019-04-26T12:47:01Z | https://deadline.com/2017/08/top-chef-teamsters-trial-boston-witnesses-for-prosecution-1202140974/ |

"My recommendation for a new student is to join school and bar organizations/associations and form solid relationships with classmates, both in your first-year and upper-division classes, and with your professors. These relationships are the building blocks to your career."
I aspired to become a lawyer at the age of six. I always loved problem solving, and I was very passionate and energetic. I always admired the legal profession as very prestigious and inspiring. I chose Cal Western because of these advantages: a scholarship, great professors/faculty, a comfortable, home-like environment, a strategic downtown San Diego location, and a great reputation in the legal profession.
There is a rumor that goes around that law school is hard. Well, it is, but you are more than capable of succeeding! At first, law school was really difficult. I could not rely on raw intelligence. I had to work very hard to learn how to study for law school exams, how to take law school exams, how to keep up with the workload, and how to think like a lawyer. But, with hard work and patience, it is very rewarding. Sometimes I do get frustrated, but it is so worth it. I am so much more confident in myself and have learned so much. I recommend finding classmates to study with, tutoring, internships, and attending office hours to help improve your understanding of the material and what is expected of you.
I intern in a prestigious business/civil litigation firm downtown; I'm a research assistant for Professor Nancy Kim, who teaches Contracts, Contract Drafting, and Advanced Contracts; I've tutored first-year students; and I am secretary of the Student Intellectual Property Law Association.
What is some of your previous professional experience, and how did that experience help you decide to go to law school?
Before law school, I worked at law firms (to obtain practical experience) and worked at a bank (to make money and learn about finance). Those experiences did not change my desire to go to law school, but were helpful in improving my skills.
My recommendation for a new student is to join school and bar organizations/associations and form solid relationships with classmates, both in your first-year and upper-division classes, and with your professors. These relationships are the building blocks to your career. Stay focused, dedicated, and be patient. Learn to be efficient with time. And do not stress out too much, as it will not help you! We look forward to you beginning your amazing law school journey!

The investigations of iron-containing phases existing in fly ashes were performed using transmission Mössbauer spectrometry. The examined samples of fly ashes were collected from different coal combustion systems, that is, stoker-fired boiler in municipal heating plant and pulverized coal boiler in power plant. Several phases are identified in the samples: iron oxides, paramagnetic aluminosilicate glass with Fe3+ ions and Al2O4-type spinel with Fe2+ ions. It was pointed out that proportions of contents of phases strongly depend not only on the combustion temperature but also on the way of ash collection.

Raging wildfire fueled by soaring temperatures of 112 degrees scorches more than 3,300 acres north of Los Angeles, forcing hundreds of evacuations.
The quick moving Sand Fire broke out Friday about 2pm on northbound 14 Freeway in Santa Clarita, also known as Antelope Valley Freeway, 40 miles north of Los Angeles.
The fire has so far claimed over 3,300 acres, according to the fire department. There have been no deaths reported thus far and only one injury, that of a fireman.
Mandatory evacuations were issued for hundreds of people, including 200 to 300 homes in Little Tujunga Canyon. At least 100 more were evacuated off Capra Road and Soledad Canyon, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Mandatory and voluntary evacuation was also ordered for Kagel Canyon but later rescinded.
Hundreds more in the area have been asked to voluntarily evacuate.
