This report shares the results of stakeholder interviews conducted in the research scoping phase with MIT D-Lab staff and partners to learn from their experience implementing and evaluating Creative Capacity Building (CCB) programs. CCB is an approach to strengthening the innovation capacity of individuals, teams, and local communities that was developed at MIT D-Lab in 2007. Since its initial implementation in refugee camps in Northern Uganda, CCB has been used in diverse development and humanitarian settings around the world. As an initial step in scoping an evaluation framework for assessing changes in local innovation capacity, the research team was interested in identifying outcomes that have been observed by implementers of CCB across diverse implementation sites and contexts.
To that end, the research team conducted 12 key informant interviews between September and December 2019. The interviews focused on identifying outcome areas that long-time implementers of CCB had observed, whether or not these had been confirmed through prior monitoring or evaluation. This report summarizes the results of these interviews, focusing on the reported outcomes and the causal factors that interviewees identified as contributing to these results. The information from these interviews will be used along with findings from other sources to inform the development of an evaluation framework with cross-context applicability.

Jamaican track stars, Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson can now resume their track careers after drug-related bans levied against the former Olympic medal-winning sprinters were reduced on Monday following a successfully filed appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Powell and Simpson each received 18-month bans by a Jamaican anti-doping disciplinary panel after testing positive for the banned substance, oxilofrine last summer at Jamaica’s national trials. Both athletes put forward appeals that their respective suspensions be reduced to three month. The appeals were partially upheld, with each ban being cut to six months by the CAS, retroactive to June 2013, meaning both suspensions would have already been served.
The ruling was made after arguments were put forward that the duo did not ingest the banned substance intentionally, after a supplement they were both taking, Epiphany D1 was contaminated.
“The CAS decided to reduce their period of ineligibility to six months, which has been already served,” the CAS said in a statement, saying it will give full reason for its ruling in the coming weeks.
In a joint statement, Powell and Simpson expressed their relief at the decision.
“”I never felt that I should not have received a sanction,” Powell, a part of Jamaica’s gold-medal winning 4 by 100m relay team at the 2008 Olympic Games, said. “I always felt that the 18 months was not in line with a first time positive test result and it being proven it came from a tainted supplement.”
Simpson, a joint-silver medalist at the 100m in the same summer games, added, “I feel total relief and that we have finally been vindicated. We both knew that we had done all we could to ensure the supplement was ok before taking it … our actions were not intentional and CAS has recognized that. I am truly thankful.”
Powell, who turns 32 this November, later confirmed, via his official Twitter page, that he would return to the track on Tuesday at a meet in Lucerne, Switzerland. Neither, however, be eligible to compete in the Commonwealth Games, set to kick off in Glasgow, Scotland next week as Jamaica’s team for the competition has long been selected.

Track Listing: 1) Avenida Revolucion 2) Soap on a Rope 3) Sexy Little Thing 4) Oh Yeah 5) Runnin’ Out 6) Get it Up 7) Down the Drain 8) My Kinda Girl 9) Learning to Fall 10) Turnin’ Left 11) Future in the Past
Some of the world’s greatest musicians, Sammy Hagar (Van Halen, Montrose), Michael Anthony (Van Halen), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and Joe Satriani, join forces for the latest rock supergroup: Chickenfoot. Despite Hagar’s statement “We’re not a supergroup, we like hanging out together and the music is a bonus. We just happen to be in other groups.”, the vast majority of us see them that way, so naturally a lot was expected from their eponymous debut. Perhaps the spotlights were all on Satriani in particular, with this being his first appearance in a proper band rather than a solo artist. How would he fit in, and, how would the egos cope with one another in such a confined space?
Avenida Revolucion begins with a flash of technical randomness from Satriani before dropping into a lengthy mid-paced chug. It’s a wonder why they chose to open with this, a pretty linear, albeit decent track. ‘Crossing the borderline, into the fire’ are the words that ring out, some sort of tension is built up as we anticipate a breakthrough. It comes with the second track, Soap on a Rope, a much funkier, energetic song that perhaps should have been switched with Avenida Revolucion. Musically, it possesses the characteristics of a Rage Against the Machine number – minus the rapping. Satriani pulls off a shredfest during his solo spot that’s not without construction and thought, basically it’s not all: how many notes can I play within the next few bars? The sequence of tracks 2-4 is the peak of the record. Sexy Little Thing and the first single Oh Yeah both excellent and enjoyable bluesy anthems. The riffs contained are simple yet effective. Unsurprisingly, these would become the three singles released.
Runnin’ Out and Get it Up are predictable tunes, plenty of cheesy lines from Hagar keep the mood light and Satriani’s solos are good but a little on the short side. The latter contains similar musical notions to the albums opener with some added Arabian spice. Before the album risks dropping into mediocrity, it is saved by Down the Drain. An instant highlight, the dark, heavy and sludge-like riff brings a welcomed essence of variety. The track clocks in at over six minutes and it would have been nice to have seen more in the way of improvisation from the band. Plenty of space for solo spots goes to waste in the rather linear blues monster. My Kinda Girl takes things back to catchy upbeat rock. Learning to Fall is the eventual ballad, the backing vocals during the chorus really elevate the mood before Satriani enters for a solo. Initial fears were that it would only last a few bars, fortunately it somewhat survives after the bridge, although forced into the background as Hagar continues to sing over the top.
Turnin’ Left contains some great funky riffage that would have best rounded off the album as opposed to Future in the Past. ‘Saving the best ‘till last’ doesn’t refer to the actual track that feels akin once again to the beginning of the record.
If anything should be said about this album it is that it’s energetic, upbeat and overall very enjoyable. Thanks to the production every member can be heard and every member, as expected, puts on a fine performance. It’s clear that the guys are having a good time doing what they’re doing and that rubs off on the listener, so this record will only make you feel good. With near an hour of catchy tunes, it makes a great listen. Some issues with track numbering and the length of solo spots is all I can pick at here, other than that this is very good indeed.
1) Soap on a Rope
2) Down the Drain
3) Oh Yeah

Britain’s economy will cast off some of the Brexit uncertainty that has held it back since 2016 after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s election triumph, but the risk remains of another “cliff-edge” showdown with Brussels in a year’s time.
With Britain’s exit from the European Union on Jan. 31 now a foregone conclusion, the question for investors is whether Johnson will stick to his campaign promise not to delay the end-of-2020 deadline for a new EU trade deal.
That deadline is widely seen as tough to meet, given the scale of issues to be resolved.
In the short term, the biggest election victory for Johnson’s Conservative Party since Margaret Thatcher’s 1987 triumph removes a major brake on growth: the deadlock in parliament over how, or even whether, to proceed with Brexit.
Johnson said in a victory speech on Friday that Britain would leave the EU on Jan. 31 “no ifs, no buts, no maybes.”
His election win also banishes the prospect of a sharp shift to the left under the Labour Party which promised nationalizations, more power for trade unions and a much bigger role for the state, which had worried many business leaders.
“But more importantly, it could give the prime minister the political breathing room to ask for an extension to the transition period.”
Investors pared back their bets on the Bank of England cutting interest rates as the uncertainty about the way ahead for Britain’s economy lifted, at least in the short term.
The world’s fifth-biggest economy has slowed since voters decided to take Britain out of the EU nearly 3-1/2 years ago.
Leaving the bloc, which accounts for nearly half the country’s exports, is seen as a drag on its economic growth over the long term.
But the new sense of clarity about Brexit, at least in the short term, is likely to lead to a pick-up in the pace of growth in the coming quarters, economists said.
British government bond prices fell sharply as trading in London’s gilt markets opened, helped not only by the conclusive election result but also by signs of an end to the U.S-China trade deal that has weighed on the global economy.
But economists turned their attention quickly to what the election result meant for Johnson’s longer-term Brexit plans.
He promised during the election campaign not to extend a Brexit transition period beyond Dec. 31 2020.
That raises the prospect of tariffs and other barriers coming into force for Britain’s trade in goods and services with the EU in just over a year’s time.
Economists at RBC Capital Markets said the new government would probably try to keep a no-deal Brexit on the table for as long as possible to maintain leverage with the EU in the trade talks.
“However, with such a comfortable winning margin Johnson is not reliant on any faction of his party, in particular the hard-Brexiteers who might have tried to steer him toward a hard Brexit at the end of the transition period,” they said.
“Some form of extension now looks more likely even if some effort will be made to give the impression that is not the transition period that the Conservative Party promised not to extend in its manifesto.”
But economists at Citi said they thought Johnson would not try to delay the transition phase because he won support from voters who backed the Conservatives for the first time because of the party’s tough stance on Brexit.
“In this scenario, when the UK exits the EU Single Market and Customs Union on 31 December 2020, we expect a mild recession to follow in 2021 as divestment among exporting sectors accelerates,” they said.

Below is a list of the game fish we catch and the time of year they are more common. That said, anything can happen at any time. Fish will run early and late but a few generalities can be inferred from years of fishing experience. Fishing is good all year! Bottom fishing is on at anytime, however, the bite is stronger from the first quarter to the full moon.
These golden blue torpedoes exert more raw power in the initial burst and continued pressure throughout the contest than any other fish. Hawaii’s warm tropical waters super-charge these giants, providing them with sustained super natural energy. A trophy catch and beautiful specimen, they may reach over 270 pounds. Arriving from the west and rolling into the tuna basin, just two miles out from Port Allen Harbor, Ahi usually run during the summer months, however a winter run on tuna does happen.
Often found at 150 to 500 pounds, these leviathans have been known to exceed 1000 pounds. With the state record over 1800 pounds, there is no limit to the excitement these fish generate. Marlin are most often found in Hawaiian waters into the late fall. Truly elegant and unpredictable in nature, these and other bill fish (Striped Marlin, Shortnosed Spearfish, Sailfish and Swordfish) are game of the finest kind. A legendary “strike boat”, our 31’ Bertram’s speed and agility provides anglers the necessary advantage as you pursue this prestigious game fish and angler’s dream.
A gold, green, silver and blue dancer, the Mahi Mahi is known for a stunning colorful display and unruly fighting style. It may often lure you into a battle leaving you breathless. Its unique structure affords it a surprising strength.
Stalking the ledge just a half mile from the harbor and stacking up thick around Niihau, the Ono is a sleek and speedy predator with scissor like teeth. This near shore aggressor is name for its ability to cut through lure and leader leaving the crew to yell “Ohh-No” when the damage is done and “Ohh-Yea!” when the fish hits the deck.
Smaller in size, these bullets are pursued by everything in the sea. Not surprisingly, they have developed the unique energy found in most prey. At 4 to 40 pounds these fish pack a punch. When larger sizes are encountered they are often mistaken for a much bigger fish. Too numerous to mention, other marine species exist in shallow and deep water. Bottom fishing, casting and trolling the coastal waters can yield unlimited fun for the whole family.
The Island of Kauai is surrounded by ledges at 40 Fathoms, 300 feet to 600 feet, the 1000 Fathom, 1500 Fathom and 2000 Fathom (12,000 feet!). The birds will work these areas and so do the fishermen. I have pointed out some locations that are no surprise to local commercial fishermen and many remain in “the book”. For the most part our location affords us access to the EAST, SOUTH and WEST areas. Fish Aggregation Devices or FAD’S are placed on the 1000 fathom drop and hold fish during the morning and late afternoon. In addition they are a good reference point when on the water.
Fishing offshore brings you to 6000 feet of water within minutes providing an exceptional value as 4 and 6 hour charters can be in very deep water for most of the fishing time. The worlds most powerful fish can be found just outside the Harbor.
What’s the big deal you may ask? Take note of the islands shape and our location on the south side (yellow pin). Trade winds are constant from the North East nearly every day. The leeward coast is afforded considerable relief from wind and wind generated waves. The eastern and northern exposures encounter higher winds and larger swells and bounce back waves off the Island nearly every day. For this reason alone it is worth a few extra minutes in the car to have a better experience on the ocean for the next 4-8 hours.
Our sport fishing boat is a fast fishing machine and weather permitting the Na Pali Coast and Ni’ihau are within range. Both make exceptional opportunities to have a wonderful day on the water. The Na Pali Coast is a family fun outing with fishing on the inside for Ono, Trevally and Barracuda. Ni’ihau is a place of legends. Blue fin, Yellow fin, Ono, Mahimahi, Marlin, Great White Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Gray, Blue and Mako are found in these isolated waters.
Bottom fishing is productive but bring them in fast because the predators will be waiting for you to stop and catch your breath. On each outing to these destinations I hear time and again “Captain, whatever it takes just don’t take us back until you absolutely have to”.

ISLAND OF THE DEAD
(director/writer: Tim Southam; screenwriter: Peter Koper; cinematographer: Daniel Jobin; editor: Heidi Haines; music: Gaëtan Gravel/Serge LaForest; cast: Malcolm McDowell (Rupert King), Talisa Soto (Melissa O’Keefe), Kent McQuaid (James Neely), Bruce Ramsay (Tony Matos), Paul Hopkins (Rodger),Mos Def (Robbie J), Michel Perron (Captain Chanon), Daniel Pilon (Mayor); Runtime: 92; MPAA Rating: R; producers: Christine Kavanagh/Luciano Lisi; Unapix Entertainment Productions; 2000)
“If it wasn’t for Malcolm McDowell slumming in this B film, it would have been a lot worse than just a bad film.“
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Tim Southam (“Drowning in Dreams”) directs and cowrites with Peter Koper this poor man’s horror flick, that’s never scary (unless looking at maggots is scary), never meaningful and never interesting. It’s a quickie made for TV pic. If it wasn’t for Malcolm McDowell slumming in this B film, it would have been a lot worse than just a bad film.
Billionaire land developer Rupert King (Malcolm McDowell), a Donald Trump-like tycoon, gets the deed from the city to Hart Island, a place used by NYC since 1869 to bury the paupers and unidentified in mass graves. King is set to build Hope City on the island for the homeless and troubled, giving them shelter and a place to live as a second chance on life. The tycoon is undisturbed that the place might be cursed if he unearths the graves of the dead, and is undisturbed that his altruism is not genuine. King, a major shareholder in a giant pharmaceutical company, secretly plans to use his unfortunate charity cases as guinea pigs for research (think death camp experiments by the Nazis!).
King’s loyal aide Rodger (Paul Hopkins) accompanies the vile philanthropist to Hart Island, as the gushing mayor (Daniel Pilon) in a formal ceremony gives him the deed to the island. Also on the island are big-hearted Sgt. Melissa O’Keefe (Talisa Soto), from the Missing Persons Bureau, who is there to ID an orphan girl who was a murder victim. She’s met on the island, after taking the ferry there, by the genial Captain Chanon (Michel Perron), who is in charge of the island security. The ferry also brings two non-violent convicts, the body-pierced heavy metal musician Neely (Kent McQuaid) and a nice guy ex-cop named Tony Matos (Bruce Ramsay), who claims he was framed by cops in his own precinct and is optimistic that in his new trial justice will be served. I think some romance is in the air between Melissa and Tony, but that’s handled so subtly that it might not be so. In any case the prisoners join a work detail with other prisoners, that includes Robbie J(Mos Def, hip-hop artist).
The highlight scene has thousands of disease-carrying flies attacking the island guests, as they hunt down the humans to show their disapproval of what they have done to Hart Island (but this is no Hitchcock’s The Birds, even if it might wish it was!) and after one bite the vic’s body deteriorates. After being trapped on the island overnight, it was not difficult to guess which two survive the attack to live another day in the city (as if it mattered or anyone cared in this uninspiring pic).

Many years back, superstar Rajinikanth’s wife Latha personally sold to the star’s fans T-shirts and lockets which bore Rajini’s image. There were, of course, criticism from certain quarters which questioned Latha’s decision to sell these items herself. Rajini’s fans purchased those items in large numbers, though.
The past revisits now as the audio CD of Rajini’s Kochadaiiyaan, which is slated to hit the screens in January, is to be sold along with a T-shirt bearing Rajini’s image which would obviously be a till from the film. The CD, which would be gold-plated, would be kept in an exclusive case and with a T-Shirt, has been priced at Rs.499.
Another proposal has been floated by a popular cellphone company which has made a special arrangement. As per this arrangement, the company would be launching a new scheme/offer on the eve of release of Kochadaiiyaan in theatres. All the numbers offered by the company on Rajini’s birthday would be fancy numbers to suit the needs and wants of the subscribers/Rajini’s fans.
The charge for such a cellphone connection, however, would be slightly on the higher side than the usual offers. Whether or not these offers have Rajini’s personal approval or not hasn’t yet been revealed.

To deliver these innovations at a global scale, enterprises have to deal with the complexities of security, privacy, compliance, reliability, scale, and performance. To handle these complexities, enterprises usually end up with a hybrid cloud footprint where their data and applications are deployed on environments ranging from on-prem data centers to hyperscaler cloud provider infrastructure. Operationalizing AI/ML and utilizing open source powered AI/ML in intelligent applications that deliver exponentially enhanced customer experiences in a hybrid cloud environment require platforms with capabilities for both machine learning operations (MLOps) and application development.
An MLOps platform, with workflows inspired by DevOps and GitOps principles, to integrate ML models into the software development process.
- A flexible and scalable platform with tools to build, deploy, and manage AI-enabled applications.
- Leverage the vast number of pre-trained models from open source providers.
- Utilize ML frameworks and serving formats like Pytorch, Tensorflow, ONNX, and others for model development.
- Deliver inference in a hybrid cloud environment at high performance and throughput.
A consistent Kubernetes-based application platform for development, deployment, and management of existing and modernized cloud-native applications that runs on any cloud.
- A wide range of languages, runtimes, and frameworks to develop business logic.
- Integration technologies like API Management, SSO and more, that allow the applications to be exposed securely and at scale.
- Tools that support modern CI/CD DevOps practices.
- Developer Tools that enable seamless on-boarding and DevSecOps.
Hybrid cloud AI/ML platforms combine MLOps and application platform capabilities by:
- Providing developers, data engineers, data scientists and operations teams with consistency in how applications and models are developed, packaged, deployed, and managed.
- Developing, training, tuning, deploying, and serving models and applications as containerized workloads through common interfaces and tools without dealing directly with the underlying complexities of a Kubernetes configuration, orchestration, security, and compliance with mature cloud native CI/CD practices.
- Supporting containerized AI workloads and their specialized needs.
- Enabling an ecosystem of specialized best-in-class open source projects and ISV software that complement and extend the platform.

Eating Tips for Better Oral Health
After the oral prophylaxis is done and you have already finished gurgling, patients are often forced to sit through the same speech that dentists recite after every appointment is coming to a close. The dentist sits in a stool and reminds you to: one, brush your teeth after every meal; and two, floss at least once a day. However, no matter how religious one might be in following this advice, there are instances when those pesky cavities still manage to develop. For that dilemma, there are three quite unusual solutions.
Sweet Tooth – Children are especially prone to having a sweet tooth. However, it is common knowledge that sucrose, which we commonly know as table sugar, is the leading cause of cavities. But what most mothers overlook is the fact that sugar is not just found in candies and other junk foods. There are also perfectly healthy foods that contain a lot of sugar and they are collectively known as starchy foods. Foods rich in starch like breads and cereals are digested with the help of an enzyme called amylase. The result of this reaction is acid production which destroys the enamel of the teeth leading to decay. Dried fruits and fruit juices – even the unsweetened kind – have the same effect as well. For a more teeth-friendly alternative, go for fresh fruits like apples since they stimulate production of saliva. Saliva naturally deters the growth of cavity-causing bacteria.
Gum Disease – In actuality, tooth lose is caused more by gum diseases than by tooth decay. For this reason, people must be extra vigilant against gum diseases. Those people who are at risk for gum diseases are alcoholics, those with malnutrition and HIV/AIDS positive individuals. Certain drugs can also increase a person’s susceptibility to gum disease like steroids and chemotherapy. The most common gum disease is gingivitis which symptoms include bleeding, swelling and red gums. Gingivitis is caused by plaque build-up and if left untreated can lead to periodontitis which leads to teeth loss. Guard your gums through daily intake of Vitamin C which comes from fresh fruits and vegetables such as celery sticks and carrots.
Eat and be Merry – Eating may lead to cavities and tooth decay but it can also lead to the prevention of these two things. Cheeses and dairy products help protect teeth because they are rich in Calcium. On the other hand, sugarless gum helps to stimulate production of saliva which protects your mouth, and teeth, from certain bacteria. And tea is rich in fluoride.

Credit where credit is due: I heard an NPR report recently about opposition to President Obama fast-tracking a trading deal with countries in the Pacific (called the TPP for Trans-Pacific Partnership) and–though I didn’t yet know the details–I was surprised and impressed that he was willing to take a stand against his own party for a common sense but unpopular policy. The NYT has been reporting on the story as well, with an April 16th story emphasizing the internecine struggle to come (“In what is sure to be one of the toughest fights of Mr. Obama’s last 19 months in office, the “fast track” bill allowing the White House to pursue its planned Pacific trade deal also heralds a divisive fight within the Democratic Party, one that could spill into the 2016 presidential campaign.”) and an April 21st story describing GOP efforts to broker a compromise between Obama and the left-wing of his own party (“Republican lawmakers and the White House have agreed to subject any trade deal negotiated by President Obama to a monthslong review by Congress and the public, a concession aimed at winning the support of Democrats who view trade agreements as a threat to American workers.)
This is all a bit sad because, as Greg Mankiw wrote for the NYT on April 24th, that this fight was a prime example of what Alan Blinder called Murphy’s Law of economic policy: “Economists have the least influence on policy where they know the most and are most agreed; they have the most influence on policy where they know the least and disagree most vehemently.” As Mankiw puts it:
Among economists, the issue is a no-brainer. Last month, I signed an open letter to John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. I was joined by 13 other economists who have led the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, a post I held from 2003 to 2005. The group spanned every administration from Gerald Ford’s to Barack Obama’s.
If the issue is so clear-cut, why is it so divisive? Mankiw discusses that as well, citing Caplan’s book The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies. According to Caplan’s research, the public isn’t just ignorant about economic policy. Ignorance would not be so bad, because mistakes would at least be random and therefore might cancel each other out. Nope, the public is systematically biased in particularly unhelpful ways, all of which are at play in this debate:
The first is an anti-foreign bias. People tend to view their own country in competition with other nations and underestimate the benefits of dealing with foreigners. Yet economics teaches that international trade is not like war but can be win-win.
The second is an anti-market bias. People tend to underestimate the benefits of the market mechanism as a guide to allocating resources. Yet history has taught repeatedly that the alternative — a planned economy — works poorly.
The third is a make-work bias. People tend to underestimate the benefit from conserving on labor and thus worry that imports will destroy jobs in import-competing industries. Yet long-run economic progress comes from finding ways to reduce labor input and redeploying workers to new, growing industries.
I hope President Obama will do the right thing and continue to fight for the TPP, a deal that will be better for the lives of everyone involved. But the longer the fight goes the more likely it is to become an issue in the 2016 election. In that case, voters will have more say and, depressingly, the likelihood of sensible economic policies will diminish accordingly.

The 4-semester, Digital Media master program, taught in English, is a joint program by the University of the Arts Bremen (Hochschule für Künste, or short HfK) and the University of Bremen (Universität Bremen or short UNI).
We offer an exciting program combining theory and technology, art and science, design and informatics. Students from both universities are encouraged to cross over to the other university respectively and take classes outside of their focus. Students do not only take classes at both institutions, they also have access to both institutions resources for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
The course of study at HfK is called Media Design and is awarded with the degree of Master of Arts (M.A), while the course of study at UNI is called Media Informatics and is awarded with the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc).
Description of the study program
The study program Digital Media is a 4-semester, international master’s program, jointly offered by the University of Bremen and the University of the Arts Bremen in English. It aims at students who are enthusiastic about both art and science and want to acquire skills and knowledge in both the design and the technology of digital media linked by a solid understanding of media theory. T^hus, in the Digital Media study program, computer science meets design, and engineering interconnects with the arts.
Media connect people, and digital media do so using connected computers that in turn interact with humans. Human-computer interaction has many facets, involving new devices and interaction metaphors, scientific evaluation, user experience design, (serious) games, computer graphics, cognitive foundations, as well as interactive art in a virtual or physical form and ultimately cultural and social questions. The computer is the central tool for digital media; therefore, programming is a central skill that allows “creating your own media without the bonds of existing software tools” (D. Shiffman). Building on this essential skill as a prerequisite, the program addresses algorithmic questions, e.g. in computer graphics or machine learning, questions of human centered software design, as well as generative design, the process of designing by writing a computer program.
The unique inter-university cooperation of the Digital Media study program lets students select from a broad selection of courses, giving them the opportunity to authentically experience all aspects of Digital Media. Students can take advantage of the university’s atmosphere of research as well as the University of the Arts’ creative environment. Flexible study conditions and project-oriented learning allow for the creation of individual profiles and fields of focus. This combination of two worlds is the unique opportunity of the digital media program in Bremen.
There are two branches within the program:
- Media Informatics / computational media (i.e., computer science with a strong connection to digital media, in German “Medieninformatik”)
- Media Design (in German „Mediengestaltung“)
Do you love programming? are you interested in computer science? Are you keen on understanding fundamental principles and theories underlying algorithms, software, and software engineering? Then the branch “Media Informatics” is right for you. Do you love art, design and technology? Are you interested in working in an experimental, applied and / or theoretical context? Then the branch “Media Design” is right for you.
Whichever branch you choose, all students in the program take part in common courses, such as “Introduction to digital media”. However, your choice between Media Informatics and Media Design is important because it has a number of implications:
- It determines whether your application should go to the University of Bremen (Media Informatics) or to the University of the Arts Bremen (Media Design).
- This also determines the criteria under which your application will be assessed,
- At which of the two universities you will get enrolled,
- The focus area of the courses you will choose from,
- The type of master project and focus area of the master group project you will take,
- The area in which you will perform your master thesis work, and
- Whether you will earn a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) or a Master of Science degree (M.Sc.).

A few days ago, I pointed to a London Daily Mail article ("The Incredible Ghost Fleet Off The Coast Of Singapore") spotlighting the scores of cargo ships rusting -- unused -- in the Singapore Strait. Bulk cargo ships are the the most visible casualties of the collapse in world trade.
Tyler at Zero Hedge did me one better, using VesselTracker to graphically illustrate the carnage in world trade. I've included a sample of the overbuilding debacle, below. In each diagram, green represents an operating ship. Red denotes a ship that is currently unused.
The ghost fleet in the Singapore Strait, photographed by The Daily Mail, looks like this:
Bosporus, the trade gateway between Russia and the rest of the world, is "orders of magnitude worse" than Singapore:
Qinhungdao (the Chinese coast):
Durden concludes, "The bottom line: world trade has collapsed, shipping lines, once flourishing, have become graveyard archipelagos populated by rusting ship skeletons. Yet all of this is beyond the land, and thus far from sight. Of course, who needs trade when you have a speculative market trading in its own bubble, hitting yearly highs day after day, thanks only and exclusively to the Chairman's printing press. It is a pity these ships can not sail in the sea of hundred dollar bills that is being created each and every day at the Federal Reserve, whose only use these days it seems is to buy junker stocks and to feed the algos that lift whatever offers are stupid enough to float in the equity market."

Nagra, in partnership with the research consultancy MTM, have published the final conclusions of the 2017 Pay-TV Innovation Forum. The global research programme examined the state of innovation in the pay-TV market and provides perspectives on the most attractive areas of opportunity for both service providers and content owners in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and North America.
For this current year, the pay-TV industry is in a period of unprecedented global change, with many service providers facing slowing growth and more competition and threats to their business models. 82% of executives agree that competition is set to increase over the next five years, and 71% believe that during this period, service providers will struggle to grow their businesses.
The research also identified that the proliferation of cheaper OTT services, changing consumer behaviour and demand, and the rise of content piracy are challenging the industry. Some 67% of executives agree that competition from subscription VOD services will have a negative impact on pay-TV, pushing down prices and increasing churn, and 66% percent agree that there will be a new wave of mobile-first services due to consumer demand.
The research found that 50% of executives believe content piracy will lead to greater pressures on the industry over the next five years, which is up from 41% in 2016. Online streaming, peer-to-peer downloads and IPTV piracy were cited as the most important forms of piracy affecting service providers and content owners today. It is estimated that service providers could stand to gain $7 billion in unrealised pay-TV revenue annually, if at least one in four consumers of pirated pay-TV services would switch to a legitimate option. Also, 72% of pay-TV providers believe that engaging in anti-piracy activities, combining technology, legal and enforcement action and consumer education, will bring benefit to the industry.
The research highlights a strong consensus amongst executives that innovation is becoming more and more important in the industry with 85% agreeing that in order to grow, pay-TV service providers will have to innovate strongly over the next five years (up from 78% in last year) with 74%, considering innovation to be a top strategic priority.
Other research results indicated the pay-TV executives will be focusing on delivering other services in the coming years:
- 64% on standalone OTT services.
- 67% on multiscreen TV Everywhere.
- 61% on app-based TV services.
- 53% on advanced functionality, such as voice and 4K.
- 74% on innovative content propositions.
- 78% on new pricing and packaging models.
Half of the more advanced service providers are also increasingly investing in advanced advertising and data solutions, with 42% investing in IoT and Smart Home solutions, and 45% in new content and technology services such as licensing or white-labelling in-house technical solutions.

According to a report in Bloomberg, Samsung Electronics has banned the use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT by employees after sensitive code was uploaded to the platform. The company is concerned about data being stored on external servers and the potential disclosure of information to other users.
A recent survey revealed that 65% of Samsung staff believe AI services pose a security risk. In response, Samsung has implemented rules prohibiting generative AI systems on company-owned devices and internal networks. Employees have been warned against submitting company-related information on personal devices and that violating the policy could result in termination. Samsung is developing its own internal AI tools and security measures for safer use of generative AI.

Configure an X Client
In many cases you can make your first connection using the installed sample definitions and then use the sample as a model for connecting to other clients. For details, see Launch an X Client Application Using the Sample Definitions. Use the procedure below to configure a new client without using the sample definitions.
Configure the connection
- Click the plus sign, , next to X Clients to create a new client definition.
- For Name, enter a descriptive name for this client definition.
- For Host name, specify the name or IP address of the computer that hosts your X client application.
- Select your Host type from the drop-down list. The host type you select affects:
- The syntax and selection of sample commands shown in the Command drop-down list.
- The default xauth command, which is used for user-based authorization. (Click Advanced to view or edit this command.)
- (For Telnet and Rlogin) The default login sequence. (Click Advanced to view or edit the login sequence.)
- Select a Connection method. The default is Secure Shell. Other options are Telnet, Rexec, Rlogin, and Rsh.
- (Optional) Enter a value for User name. If you leave this blank, you'll be prompted for your user name when you connect.
Note: If you're configuring Telnet, Rexec, or Rlogin, you also have the option of entering a password. Passwords are stored as clear text in the Reflection X Advantage database and in exported definition files. Leaving this blank is a more secure option; you'll be prompted for your password when you connect.
- For Application, leave the default, Single command, selected. Using this option provides access to sample commands, which are not available when Multiple command is selected. For most situations, it's easiest to create a new client definition for each client you want to launch.
- Click the Command down-arrow to display a list of sample commands for the host type you selected. For your initial tests, it's a good idea to try one of the listed commands (such as xterm). If this works, you can modify the command to start your own client application. Additional Information about configuring commands follows this procedure.
- From the Session list, select a default session to start when you start this client.
- If you want your client application to run on your desktop, select a session configured to Show clients on my desktop. The sample session called "My desktop" uses this configuration.
- If your client command launches a desktop environment such as KDE, CDE or GNOME, select a session configured to Show clients on X terminal desktop. The sample session called "X terminal desktop" uses this configuration. For these clients, also enable Always start on new instance.
- (Optional) Click Advanced to configure additional settings for your connection. The options available depend on the connection method.
Configuring the client command
Use the sample commands in the Command list as a starting point for creating your own commands. These commands demonstrate the use of macros (%IP#% is one example). Macros are replaced by appropriate values when the command is sent to the client host. Macros can be used to specify the IP address for the display, the display number, the host name for the display, and additional information. For a complete list of supported macros and their descriptions, see X Client Commands - Macro Reference.
The following examples demonstrate frequently used features of command-line syntax:
The following command demonstrates using the %IP#% macro to specify the IP address and display number to be used for the client display.
xterm -display %IP#%
The next example adds a screen number.
xterm -display %IP#2%
The last example adds an ampersand to the command and encloses it in parentheses. This is the syntax you'll see in the Reflection X Advantage sample commands. When the command is sent to the host, it runs in a subshell in the background. This format may be required with some Telnet connections to keep the application running.
(/usr/bin/xterm -display %IP#% &)
Note: For most connections, you can omit the parentheses and ampersand. If you do use this syntax in Secure Shell sessions, the ampersand is removed from your command before it is sent to the host. (The trailing ampersand isn't supported in combination with X11 forwarding).

When using an analysis layer (for now only created by the Kernel Density Map), often the analysis layer has a significant amount of data falling "outside" of the area of interest. To help remedy this, Cartographica can constrain the bounds of the analysis layer to the area of a polygon layer.
Below are examples of an analysis layer, the mask to be applied, and the resultant masked analysis layer. In this case, we use a Kernel Density Map and have a satellite map in the background as illustration.
Masking an analysis layer
In order to mask an analysis layer, you need to have a polygon layer that specifies the area you want included in the analysis. You can either use an existing polygon layer, or create one manually or using tools such as Cartographica's
>Select the analysis layer in the layer stack by clicking on it
Select the polygon layer in the layer stack by holding the option key while clicking on it
>After a few seconds, the analysis layer will be masked by the polygon layer you selected.
The mask layer will work even if the mask layer is hidden, so you can add a layer to act as the mask, assign it to the analysis layer, and then hide the mask layer without losing the mask effect, but without having whatever data is in that layer displayed. |

Dogs bring us so much joy, companionship, and unconditional love as members of our families. But just like humans, our four-legged friends can experience various health issues that require some extra care and attention. From tummy troubles to itchy skin, many common canine ailments can be managed through simple remedies and preventative measures.
Dealing with Digestive Upsets
One of the most frequent issues that dog owners face is gastrointestinal problems like vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or gas. These messy problems can stem from eating something they shouldn’t have, introducing new foods too quickly, food intolerances, or infections.
For minor digestive upsets, veterinarians often recommend a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice for a few days to let the gut rest. Probiotics and pumpkin puree can also help soothe irritated bellies. But chronic or severe cases may require medication.
Finding the best dog food for sensitive stomach and diarrhea issues is also essential. The experts at Nextrition recommend looking for easily digestible limited-ingredient formulas without common triggers like beef, dairy or wheat. Recipes with prebiotic fibers and novel protein sources are ideal.
Steering Clear of Allergies
Just like people, many dogs suffer from environmental or food allergies that cause excessive licking, scratching, hair loss, skin rashes and ear infections. Avoiding exposure to allergens like dust mites, mold and certain proteins can bring relief.
For food allergies specifically, your vet may recommend an elimination diet trial followed by reintroducing potential trigger foods one by one to identify culprits. Hydrolyzed protein dog foods are less likely to provoke allergic reactions.
Solutions for Dental Woes
Periodontal disease, tooth decay and bad breath can plague many dogs, especially smaller breeds. Daily teeth brushing, dental chews and regular professional cleanings from your vet help prevent these painful dental issues.
Managing Aches and Pains
As dogs enter their senior years, arthritis, hip, and joint issues can seriously affect mobility and quality of life. Veterinary-approved supplements like glucosamine, chondroitin and Omega fatty acids can lubricate joints and reduce inflammation.
Cold laser therapy, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, and hydrotherapy pools are other options. Ramps or stairs can help dogs avoid strenuous jumping. Medication for pain relief may be prescribed for more severe arthritis as well.
Weight and Obesity Concerns
Just like their human counterparts, poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to obesity in dogs, which then raises risks for other serious conditions. Carefully measuring meals, cutting out people food and treats, and increasing walks and playtime are crucial.
Portion-controlled weight management dog food with added fiber can also help obese dogs shed pounds gradually and safely under a vet’s guidance. Special low-calorie treats like green beans or carrots make great substitutes for fattening snacks.
Preventative Care Pays Off
Of course, one of the best ways to stave off many of these common canine health problems is through preventative care measures like:
- Keeping up with all vaccinations and parasite prevention.
- Regular wellness exams with your veterinarian.
- Proper dental care routines.
- High-quality, balanced nutrition.
- Adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation.
Staying proactive about your pup’s needs through every life stage means you can catch and address issues early before they progress into major problems. Their long-term health and happiness are worth the effort.
Simple Home Remedies
While not a substitute for veterinary care, there are some simple home remedies that can provide relief for minor dog ailments. Things like oatmeal baths for itchy dry skin, chamomile tea for upset stomachs, coconut oil for hot spots and more.
Do your research, but always consult your vet before trying out any new treatments, supplements, or major diet changes. With some teamwork, many common canine health concerns can be well-managed.

And tune in Thursday night to Donald Trump’s version of “The Apprentice.”
Of course, the show will have another name. The first Republican Presidential debate will be on the Fox News Channel, but it is still all about Donald Trump, and the intricacies of his world.
The entire debate in Cleveland will be about The Donald in one way or another, and of course the media coverage that follows.
Did Trump look Presidential?
Did Trump attack another candidate as dumb?
Did Trump give an specifics for any of his campaign ideas like immigration?
How did Trump respond to attacks on him and other candidates attacking Trump to raise their poll numbers.?
One Potential side story.
Did NJ Governor Chris Christie bring a sledgehammer to the debate aimed at Trump or anyone else that got in Christie’s way.
Brilliant move by Trump to go to Scotland and relax playing Golf last week, before the debate and to downplay expectations in not just one Sunday Morning TV appearance, but three.
Physically, on the stage, Trump is expected to be dead center at the Debate Thursday night. Exactly the way Trump wants it. The others are around him. Here is what he told ABC’s “This Week,” Sunday.
“I don’t think I’m going to be throwing punches. I’m not looking to attack,” Trump said of Thursday night’s debate. “Every attack I’ve made was a counterpunch. They attacked me first, and I hit them back — maybe harder than they hit me, but the fact is that I’ve been attacked pretty viciously by some of these guys.”
Trump as I argued on TV Friday Night is a debate winner no matter what.
Going into the debate, and out of the debate, yet once again Trump is dominating the news cycle, the race is all about him.
Notice, nobody right now is really talking about a formidable guy by the name of Jeb Bush….or hey…what about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
Yes, if your Bush, you want to be slow and steady to the Republican Nomination, but it must be a wake-up call to Bush and company that right now its all about The Donald. Lately, Trump has been even receiving more attention than Hillary Clinton.

In general, gynecomastia (enlarged male breast) cosmetic surgery is a safe procedure. However, patients should be aware of the possible risks associated with male breast reduction surgery.
Some common risks include the possibility of infection, adverse response to anesthesia, and uneven nipple height. But the potential advantages of male breast reduction surgery will typically outweigh the risks associated with the procedure.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bram Kaufman provides gynecomastia surgery to patients in Beachwood, Pepper Pike, Cleveland, OH, and surrounding locations.
Discuss the Risks with the Surgeon
During the pre-operative consultation process, the surgeon will inform the patient of the possible risks and complications associated with gynecomastia surgery. The primary goal of a dedicated surgeon is to enable the patient to make a well-informed choice.
Choosing to undergo gynecomastia surgery is a private and personal decision. The patient must assess the advantages of the surgery relative to the risks and complications associated with the procedure, and understand whether this risk-reward tradeoff is acceptable to them. The patient will need to sign consent forms stating that they understand the risks and possible complications inherent in gynecomastia surgery fully.
The risks associated with male breast reduction plastic surgery are as follows:
- Poor response to materials used in the surgery such as tape, glues, topical preparations, suture materials, or injected agents
- Risks associated with anesthesia
- Hematoma (bleeding)
- Blood clots
- Asymmetrical breasts
- Irregular breast contour and shape
- Altered sensation in nipples or breasts which may be temporary or permanent
- Injury to deeper structures including blood vessels, muscles, nerves, and lungs may occur, and the consequences may be temporary or permanent
- Cardiac, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary complications
- Breast fatty tissue may die (fat necrosis)
- Poor wound healing
- Seroma (fluid accumulation)
- Persistent pain
- Requirement for revision surgery
- Unfavorable scarring
The surgeon will inform the patient in detail about these risks before seeking their consent for the surgery. It is important for the patient to seek clarity on all questions and concerns from their cosmetic surgeon before the surgery.
Asymmetrical breasts are a risk arising from male breast reduction surgery. But in the hands of an experienced and well-qualified plastic surgeon, this risk is greatly minimized. However, if the breasts are asymmetrical following gynecomastia surgery, the patient will require revision surgery to correct the condition.
Patients should understand that natural breasts are not completely symmetrical. Minor variations in shape and size are normal, and these do not warrant revision surgery.
Uneven Nipple Height
Gynecomastia surgery alters the breast shape and size as well as leads to the moving of some skin. This leads to the risk of uneven nipple height post-reduction. For some patients, the surgeon may detach the areola and nipple and reattach it on a different location on the breast.
A change or loss in sensation in the breast after male breast reduction surgery may occur especially if the areola has been detached and grafted at another location. This change in sensation is usually temporary, but it may be permanent in some exceptional cases.
Experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bram Kaufman receives patients from Beachwood, Pepper Pike, Cleveland, OH, and nearby areas for male breast reduction surgery.

posted on 2003-01-01, 00:00 authored by Wayne Gerdtz, Neil ArchboldThe isolated lower molar series of a dasyurid from early Pleistocene sediments at Nelson Bay, near Portland, is referred herein to Sarcophilus laniarius harrisii (Boitard, 1842). Dental measurements and morphological comparisons taken from this tooth series compare closely with those of the extant subspecies. The genus Sarcophilus is known from the early Pleistocene by the species S. moornaensis Crabb 1982. Fossil material assigned to S. laniarius harrisii is now also known from Early Pleistocene sediments. The new specimens from Nelson Bay extend the origin of S. laniarius harrisii to the early Pleistocene.

The productivity suite market has been dominated by Microsoft Office for decades. However, with the emergence of Google’s Suite, which includes Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, some speculate about the potential decline of Microsoft Office. This article explores the competition between these two suites and examines the future outlook for Microsoft Office in light of Google’s Suite.
Market Dominance and User Base:
Microsoft Office has long been a staple in businesses and organizations worldwide, boasting a massive user base. Its familiarity, feature-rich applications, and deep integration with Windows have solidified its position. While Google’s Suite has gained popularity, it still faces challenges in fully displacing Microsoft Office from the enterprise market.
Cloud-Based Collaboration and Accessibility:
Google’s Suite offers cloud-based collaboration and accessibility features that have resonated with users. The real-time collaboration capabilities of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides have revolutionized teamwork and remote work. However, Microsoft has responded by integrating similar functionalities into its Office 365 suite, narrowing the gap between the two competitors.
Feature Set and Compatibility:
Microsoft Office has a comprehensive set of features across its applications, catering to diverse user needs. It offers advanced functionalities for data analysis, presentation design, and document formatting. Additionally, Microsoft Office remains the standard in many industries, where compatibility with legacy systems is crucial. Google’s Suite, although robust, may still lack certain advanced features required by specific users or industries.
Integration with Ecosystems:
Microsoft Office’s integration with other Microsoft products, such as SharePoint, Teams, and Outlook, provides a seamless experience for users within the Microsoft ecosystem. This integration gives Microsoft an advantage, especially in enterprise environments where businesses rely on multiple Microsoft solutions. However, Google’s Suite integrates smoothly with Google Drive, Gmail, and other Google services, appealing to users already within the Google ecosystem.
Offline Functionality and Mobile Experience:
Microsoft Office has a strong advantage in offline functionality, allowing users to work without an internet connection. This capability is crucial for individuals working in remote areas or traveling frequently. While Google’s Suite offers offline access as well, Microsoft Office’s offline capabilities are more established. Additionally, both suites provide mobile apps for on-the-go productivity, with user preference playing a significant role in adoption.
Data Security and Privacy Concerns:
Data security and privacy are critical considerations for organizations and individuals. Microsoft has made significant strides in addressing these concerns by implementing robust security measures, compliance certifications, and advanced data protection features. Google has faced scrutiny regarding data privacy practices, raising concerns among privacy-conscious users. These factors may influence decisions when choosing between the two suites.
User Preferences and Organizational Needs:
Ultimately, user preferences and organizational needs will play a pivotal role in determining the future of Microsoft Office and Google’s Suite. Some users prefer the familiarity and extensive feature set of Microsoft Office, while others embrace the cloud collaboration and simplicity offered by Google’s Suite. Organizations’ specific requirements, industry standards, and user training investments also contribute to their choice of productivity suite.
While Google’s Suite has gained traction and presents stiff competition, Microsoft Office remains firmly entrenched in the market. Microsoft’s dominance, extensive feature set, compatibility with legacy systems, and integration with its ecosystem provide significant advantages. However, Google’s Suite excels in cloud collaboration, accessibility, and mobile experience. The battle between the two suites will continue, driven by user preferences, evolving technology trends, and competition-driven innovation. As such, it is unlikely that Microsoft Office will disappear entirely due to the rise of Google’s Suite, but both will coexist and continuously evolve to meet the ever-changing demands of productivity in the digital age.

Here's a wonderful recipe for Chocolate Honey Cake to celebrate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. Honey is a traditional food that symbolizes a Sweet New Year. Add Chocolate, and the year is bound to be even sweeter! Heaven knows, we need it to be!
This recipe is adapted from Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Honey Cake aka Honey Bee Cake. She decorates her Chocolate Honey Cake with the most adorable marzipan bees, but I never get quite that involved.
FYI: Honey cake doesn't have to be dry and heavy. This cake is incredibly moist! As I've mentioned many times, though, your final product will be different depending on the type and brand of chocolate and the type of honey you use.
Chocolate Honey Cake
4 ounces dark chocolate (50-65% cacao), chopped
1 1/3 cups soft light brown sugar
8 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup local honey
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp DARK cocoa
1 cup boiling water
Sticky Honey Glaze:
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup honey
6 ounces dark chocolate (60-75% cacao), finely chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp confectioners sugar
Have all ingredients at room temperature.
Melt chocolate from cake part of ingredients list in large bowl, either in microwave or bowl over pan of simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line 9-inch springform pan.
Beat together sugar and softened butter until airy and creamy, and then add honey.
Add 1 of eggs, beating in with tablespoon of flour, and then second egg with another tablespoon of flour.
Fold in melted chocolate, and then remaining flour and baking soda.
Add cocoa pushed through tea strainer to ensure no lumps, and last of all, beat in the boiling water.
Mix everything together well to make smooth batter and pour into prepared springform pan.
Bake for up to 1 -1/2 hours, checking cake after 45 minutes. If it's getting too dark, cover top lightly with aluminum foil and keep checking every 15 minutes.
Let cake cool completely in pan on rack.
To make glaze, bring water and honey to boil in pot, then turn off the heat and add finely chopped chocolate, swirling around to melt in hot liquid.
Leave for few minutes, then whisk together.
Add sugar through sieve and whisk again until smooth.
Putting it together:
Choose plate or stand, and cut 4 strips of parchment paper and form square outline on plate. Reason: So when you put cake on it and ice it, icing won't run all over the plate (you can always cut the excess off later).
Unclip springform pan and set thoroughly cooled cake on prepared plate.
Nigella Lawson decorates this great cake with marzipan bees. For the recipe for them, and for her exact recipe, go HERE.

Professor of Modern European History and Military History Porter Blakemore, a former naval officer and aviator, penned an editorial in The Free Lance-Star newspaper in advance of his “Great Lives” lecture on General Douglas MacArthur on Feb. 18. View the lecture here.
DOUGLAS MacArthur is one of the most famous American military officers of the first half of the 20th century. As a young brigadier general in 1918, he was poised for a distinguished future that held great promise.
Yet his potential produced enigmatic success and failure in the career that followed. Today, while some historians consider him one of the great captains of history, others disparage his accomplishments.
The truth falls somewhere in the middle. Read more.

This is a delicious and savory Bacon Pasta meal! It combines two kid-approved favorites: bacon and pasta! Adults love it just as much and you can make it in 20 minutes.
Bacon Pasta Recipe
This is a really easy recipe with crispy bacon, perfectly cooked spaghetti, and capers and dried chiles for bold flavor!
While the pasta is cooking you can prepare the bacon so everything comes together in just a few minutes.
I love finding unexpected ways to add bacon into meals. It has such a distinct flavor that cooks into everything else and makes it all taste even better than before!
Capers, dried chiles, garlic, and a splash of cream make this entire dish too good to believe. Your family will ask for seconds and start requesting it anytime you plan meals!
The Best Pasta to Use With Bacon
I like using long, skinny pasta for this recipe, like spaghetti, angel hair, or linguine. Any of your favorites (or whatever you have on hand!) would work well in this meal though.
How to Make Bacon Pasta?
It only takes 20 minutes, and every step is incredibly simple! Anyone can make this tasty dish.
Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Boil it in salty water until it’s al dente, then drain it and set aside.
Now you’ll cook the bacon!
Saute bacon cut into bite-sized pieces until it’s slightly crispy and browned. Add in garlic, capers, and dried chiles. By now your kitchen should smell amazing!
Add in the cooked spaghetti and give it a good stir, then add cream, chicken bouillon, and salt and pepper to taste. Finish it off with a bit of chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese on top.

This year’s ADDY Awards presented many awards to SNU students from our graphic design department.
The ADDY Awards were on February 18, 2017 at the Chevy Bricktown Event Center. It’s a fancy night of awards given to some very artsy people (picture an Oscars style party, but for advertising). “It’s the fanciest event I’ve ever been to. There were ladies dressed in big Cinderella dresses!” said Becca Cox, a junior, Bronze Award Winner, and scholarship recipient.
It is a chance for our SNU students to see other people in their future industry’s work and to showcase their own talents to potential employers. This event is actually less for students and more for businesses. In other words, being able to win an ADDY award at the student level deserves recognition.
Of those who are within the graphic design department, there were five award recipients. If you don’t know how an award is won, you’re not alone. As always, that is why I am here to explain the unexplained.
There are multiple categories in which to submit a piece of original artwork. The students submitted their best work within multiple categories, which means they could win in multiple categories. The awards include gold, silver, and bronze.
There isn’t a limit to how many awards can be given out in a specific category. There could be 12 million gold awards given in a category; that’s illogical and will never happen, but you get my, albeit exaggerated, point. However, what does happen often is that there is no gold, silver or bronze awarded in a category. If the work is not up to par, then it won’t get an award. If the work is amazing, then it will be given the award it deserves. All this being said, the award process shows that our students who won submitted quality work all around.
Also, there were four scholarships awarded that night, and two of these were awarded to SNU students J.D. Frees and Becca Cox. In order to get the scholarship, these two had to submit their work and be interviewed. The Best of University Award was given to Morgan (Mosshart) Campbell. This award means she had the highest ranking medals out of everyone who entered from SNU.
Those from the graphic design department who won an ADDY award include: Morgan (Mosshart) Campbell, Ashley Grubert, Hannah Cantwell, J.D. Frees and Becca Cox.
Winning an ADDY Award is a ‘gold’en opportunity for these students trying to get graphic design jobs after graduation, because it is a stellar thing to put on a resume. Also, they are able to network with the businesses represented at the ADDYs. What are we doing in college if not preparing to make money doing what we love? That’s exactly what these awards recipients had the opportunity to do. They were able to brown-nose to their hearts’ desire.
The humble Morgan (Mosshart) Campbell—senior, Gold and Silver Award Winner and Best of University Award winner—said her favorite part of the night was “seeing the artwork from other colleges and seeing my friends recognized for all their hard work.”
At the end of the day, the graphic design department is a close-knit group of creative individuals who deserve recognition. Under the guidance of professors Jim Smith and Phyllis Eagle, the graphic design department continued to show excellence and quality design work. If you see someone who won an ADDY award around campus, take a moment to congratulate them and ask them about the graphic design department!

Sorterius - An augmented reality app for encouraging outdoor physical activity for people with intellectual disabilities
Motivation, mHealth, mobile health, exergames, steps, smartphoneAbstract
Many with intellectual disabilities (ID) have difficulties adhering to current physical activity guidelines. The goal of this study was to develop a mobile app for assisting people with ID to be more physically active. We implemented a solution that combines the digital and real world using augmented reality (AR). Eight people working with people with ID (special education teachers, social workers, psychologists, and researchers) tested the app and completed a usability test. Results indicate that a mobile app focusing on everyday life scenarios can have a potential value for the targeted user group, but AR solutions can be challenging.Downloads

Pepe Coin, a new cryptocurrency, was launched into the market in April 2023 to compete with the likes of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. The category of cryptocurrencies that Pepe Coin and its competitors are classified under is called the memecoin category. As the name explains, memecoins are cryptocurrencies inspired by elements of memes that become to trend over time on social networking platforms. This new entrant into the memecoin space is inspired by a cartooned frog that often finds its way on popular on internet memes with expressions tailored to depict the relatable feeling behind the meme.
The Arrival and Rise of Pepe Coin
Supported on the Ethereum blockchainPepe Coin, also signified as the $PEPE token, debuted in the crypto market on April 16, 2023. Its release came discreetly with no shout outs from influencers or planned airdrops of free PEPE tokens to the winners of social media contests.
The developers of this coin, who remain anonymous, have put in place a ‘no tax policy’ on PEPE that makes it appealing to small and experimental investors. This means investors trading in Pepe Coins will not be charged a gas fee for Pepe transactions.
The Pepe Coin ecosystem also comes with a rewarding process for long-term strikers as well as a timely mechanism for burning some reserves to maintain the desired scarcity. The token has a pre-set circulating supply of 391,790,000,000,000 tokens.
Well, these factors soon began drawing meme-enthusiastic crypto investor to buy some Pepe Coins, even if it held just a novelty value, because of its iconic meme character inspiration.
At the time of its launch in April, PEPE stepped into the trading arena at its first price of $0.000000001 (roughly Rs. 0.000000083).
In the first seventeen days of its launch, the PEPE token spiked by 7,000 percent, reportedly touching a market cap of $1.8 billion by May 5.
One month and three days after its launch, PEPE is trading at $0.000001514 (roughly Rs. 0.00013), as per CoinMarketCap as of Friday, May 19.
Interestingly however, $1.8 billion (roughly Rs. 14,890 crore) in capitalization that Pepe Coin sat at by May 5 soon fell to its current valuation of $597.9 million (roughly Rs. 4,950 crore) as market conditions turned tumultuous amid US economic slowdown.
The Red Flags and Speculations
In the crypto circle, excited investors often get carried away in the pomp and show around new cryptocurrencies and end up investing money on random coins, wishing to luckily crack into the next ‘to the moon’ cryptocurrency.
After the popularity of Pepe Coins began making it to the headlines, it stirred intrigue among people, many of whom began to speculate if Pepe Coin is some kind of a scam projects.
The creators of this coin being anonymous, the unprecedented price soar it recorded in days, and its quick downfall valuation-wise began contributing as factors that led to the suspicion of Pepe Coin potentially being a back-pull scam in the making.
In back pulls, scammers launch random crypto tokens and allow these tokens to pump as high as possible. Once their target capital is reeled-in from the investors, they abandon the projects with the collection leaving investors high and dry.
The Present Situation and Comparison with DOGE, SHIB
While mammoth crypto exchanges like Binance and CoinMarketCap have already listed the Pepe token on their platforms for trade, some people still remain skeptical about engaging with $PEPE, at least for the time being.
The frenzy around this altcoin maddened more after Elon Musk recently posted a random meme featuring Pepe the Frog.
Musk followers were quick to point out that this subtle acknowledgment from Musk could pump Pepe and affect Musk’s famously favorite memecoin, DOGE.
Neither Dogecoin nor Shiba Inu, meanwhile, have managed to show any significant price changes in the last one year.
At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.082 (roughly Rs. 6.8), while SHIB was valued at $0.0000087 (roughly Rs. 0.000718), as per Gadgets 360’s crypto price tracker.
Just over a month since its launch, the rise of the Pepe Coin still remains a topic for skeptics to keep an eye out for.
Industry experts have responded to their suggestion for investors to exercise extreme caution before investing in cryptocurrencies without conducting due diligence.

There is panic among residents of Kabusa community in the Federal Capital Territory over the disappearance of three siblings.
The children, Marvelous, Alex and Rehoboth Sunday, were said to have gone missing from their school, Star Child Academy, on Tuesday March 22, 2022.
According to residents, their mother had gone to pick them up from their school located around the ECWA One area of Kabusa, but they were nowhere to be found.
Scene of the protest
Efforts made by their mother, staff of the school and residents to locate them were said to have been abortive.
The incident sparked a protest from women in the community, who picketed the school and the police division in the area.
Speaking to reporters, family friend, Benson Ubong, said residents checked every nook and cranny of Kabusa from the day of the incident till Wednesday, adding that the children were not found.
Ubong said, “The father of the three children is my colleague and we live in the same area. Around 1.28pm on Tuesday, we were sitting together and having some conversation when a call from his wife came in. She said she went to the school to pick up the three children, but they were nowhere to be found. The father immediately put a call through to the owner of the school.
Scene of the protest
“The woman was not really cooperating at that moment; their dad was upset. About 20 minutes later, he left the place of work and dashed to his residence. He then reported the incident at a police station.
“On Wednesday, women in the community, both young and old, protested at the school and the police station. After then, there was information that somewhere around Waru, there were corpses of some children; we went there and there was nothing like that.
“Up till now, we don’t know where they are; their parents and the entire community have been thrown into mourning. The family recently lost one of their children and now all of the surviving children are nowhere to be found. They are two females and one male. The first one is eight years old, the second is six years old and the last is two years old.”
The FCT police spokesperson, DSP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident.
She said all the teachers in the school, alongside the proprietor, had been arrested over the matter.
Adeh said, “The matter was reported to us. We have arrested all the teachers and the proprietor of the school. The case has now been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.”
In a related development, residents of Chukuku, in the Kuje area council of the FCT on Thursday protested against incessant abductions in the area.
Another scene of the protest
The residents, who made bonfires and barricaded the Kuje/Gwagwalada Road, appealed to the Federal Government to combat the insecurity in the area.
As a result of the barricade, vehicles were diverted through the Kuje-Airport Road to get to Gwagwalada from Kuje.
The siblings and their mother
A resident, who gave his name simply as Austin, said bandits had been having a field day in the community.
According to him, the protest was caused by the abduction of three residents on Thursday.
He said, “This is getting too much. Bandits have been operating freely in our community. In the early hours of Thursday, they operated here for hours and took away two men and one woman. The residents were angry because of that and decided to protest against the abductions in the area.
“This is not the only incident; week in and week out we experience attacks by bandits in this community. Why do we have a government then if our lives and property are not secured? The government must live up to its task and provide adequate security in the community.”

What Can We See from Surveys about Charitable Giving?
by Robert I. Evans and Avrum D. Lapin
Surveys and reports on people’s perspectives on any number of subjects appear frequently, yet may reflect intuition and conjecture and may not always offer the highest degree of reliability. Recently, several surveys are starting to reflect some thinking and behavior by donors about charitable giving in 2010. One such well-publicized survey was reported in eJewish Philanthropy last week, which projected a downturn in giving from individuals in 2010.
Our experience through a number of recessions (though this one was perhaps the deepest in recent memory) tells us to start with a basic assumption: psychology research tells us that people typically make “bad” estimates of their own future behavior and quite often these estimates vary significantly from their actions. We saw this last year when similar surveys from early 2009 projected significant downturns in giving, which in reality did not occur. Experts tell us that surveys to predict future results can often provide limited information and sometimes drive or justify behavior of those who read those predictions.
Further, economists running “lab experiments” are learning that what people do in those controlled circumstances are usually NOT very good indicators of what happens “in the field.”
For that reason – primarily – those of us involved in fundraising efforts for non-profits across the globe usually take reports about predictions with a grain of salt … but we certainly do review surveys.
How do you and your fellow non-profit leaders digest these reports and apply them to the work that you address? Make sure that you and your colleagues understand that surveys and various reports consider neither the uniqueness, the experience nor the capabilities of individual organizations. Therefore, we share with you these several recommendations that we believe are relevant and appropriate for your non-profit as you look to grow in the second half of 2010:
- Keep reviewing your strategic directions. Experienced fundraising experts believe in ambitious planning and maintaining focus. However, sometimes changes in strategy are warranted, primarily dealing with approaches to donors and leadership. Decide on changes formally; don’t just abandon the plan.
- Continuously interact with your organization’s donors. There is no substitute for organizations communicating directly with donors at all levels. That is why many people encourage Facebook and other social media as opportunities to connect donors with the projects they support. For lead and major donors there is no alternative to meeting face-to-face.
- Review your pool of lapsed donors: why have they stopped giving to your organization?
- Develop a campaign plan for the second half of 2010 that is not exactly like the one you implemented in 2009. Times change and even though the economy has improved in the past year many people are still struggling financially. Know that some of your donors continue to struggle but others are might be prepared to step forward and fill the void.
- Be pro-active, positive, and forthright in your appeals.
To get the real story about giving from 2009, watch for the results about giving last year when Giving USA 2010 is released on June 9th. eJewish Philanthropy will carry a full report and analysis of charitable giving in the US in 2009. Giving USA remains the only truly dependable, time honored and respected report that examines giving behaviors and priorities on an annual basis.

You can design your kid’s bedroom design only till a certain age. Even before your kid becomes a teenager, he or she will start developing a taste and preferences. Hence, your kid will want the bedroom idea to look in a particular way. This is why you should allow your kid to design the room. It will allow you to incorporate all the elements in the bedroom your kid likes. From sports, cars, to celebrities, there are various things your kid can use to decorate the room’s interior design.
Some parents are a little sceptical about allowing their kids to decorate their own bedrooms. If you are one of them, here are a few advantages of allowing your kid to decorate the kids’ bedroom design that should convince you:
Table of Contents
01 of 05 You will get to know about all your kid’s interests
As a parent, you should never try to intrude in your kid’s life but it is important to be informed about their inner life. This becomes very important during the teenage years because most kids tend to get a little secretive about everything. If you allow your kid to come up with a bedroom idea, you will be able to understand him or her a little better by seeing the room’s interior design. He or she might add various elements that will reveal your kid’s likings and preferences like posters, tapestries, etc. Hence, you will be able to get a lot of information about your child’s nature simply by looking at your kid’s bedroom decor. However, make sure while trying to take interest in your kid’s life, you do not end up invading his or her privacy.
02 of 05 Your kid will feel more valued and respected
Many kids feel gloomy and unhappy at times because they feel that their life is not in their control. This is a very common feeling that kids may experience in their early teenage years. By allowing them to design the kids’ bedroom design and choosing what they want and what they do not, they feel a sense of control over their lives. Also, your kid will feel that you are handing him or her over more power. This will help to develop mutual respect between the two. The habit of choosing what they want and doing things responsibly will give them a sense of independence as well.
03 of 05 It will be a great opportunity to unleash your kid’s creativity
Being able to express yourself properly is very important. People who are not good at self-expression may face various obstacles in the future. You can develop this habit in your kid from an early age by allowing him or her to do things that require a lot of creativity. This can be done by allowing your kid to perform simple tasks like decorating the bedroom. Many kids even enjoy the task of choosing colours, patterns, and designs for the bedroom design. Your kid will be able to discover various things about himself or herself, which will help to develop self-confidence in the future. Self-confidence from an early age is very important to attain success.
04 of 05 They will feel more responsible for taking of their room
When you create something yourself after putting in a lot of effort and time, you start caring for it naturally. This instinct is present in everyone from an early age. Hence, by asking your kid to decorate the bedroom, you can make him or her more responsible for taking care of the room. Hence, your kid will always clean the space properly and ensure proper maintenance. This will prevent your kid’s room from getting dirty and messy like most kids’ bedrooms. By developing this habit from an early age, you can make your kid more organised in life. Besides keeping the house clean, this habit can help the kid in the future in various ways.
05 of 05 A great opportunity to spend more time together
All parents want to spend more time with their kids, especially when they are still young. By allowing him or her to decorate the bedroom and helping your kid throughout the process, you will be able to spend more time together. This can be a great bonding time for both. You will be able to build a stronger relationship with your kids and they trust you more. You may have to get involved a lot or very little depending on your kid’s age. If your kid is still very young, he or she might need help with even the simplest things. However, slightly older kids will be able to perform most of the tasks on their own. Either way, you should stay prepared to help whenever required.

When you thing about a deep cleaning of your home, you begin to feel frustrated, worried and stressed. To know that you have to deal with the whole process alone makes you lazy and you keep this matter aside. The cleaning process requires 3 or 4 days to be done. It is the one major reason to hire a cleaning service and you also don’t have enough time to spend on this task as well.
The professional house cleaning services in Atlanta are so advantageous. The experts you will hire will come at your place and will provide a service regarding your requirements. From the basic cleaning to washing, these experts will provide you a complete household service. Instead of hiring an individual working whom you met just only once, it is better to hire a reliable and legal company. The reason is that a reliable and legal company will cover the worker under employee’s compensation insurance. While working if any accident occurs at your place, you don’t need to be getting worried about the payments. There are several advantages of hiring a professional rather than hiring a non-professional individual. Your home is your precious investment and obviously, you never want to leave it on any unknown company.
The expert cleaning companies work efficiently because of their good reputation: Like other businesses, cleaning business also work immensely harder to build their name in the top of their client’s list. Therefore, usually service quality is better and the cleaning process is effective. Further, you will get a service which has quality and efficiency of work. The risks are lesser of misshaping. However, if you find a single cleaner through any ad or reference, then trusting on him might get risky for you. It is obviously sure that they will come in front of you with various references and will make you be relying on them but it is not a safe option. On the other hand, a professional cleaning service will surely have years of experience, which can only be gained by providing an efficient service. Moreover, hiring professional cleaning experts will not only make you pay fewer costs but also will make you happy by their various services packages in convenient rates.
Furthermore, the individual cleaners will charge by room and mostly by the home size, and can end up by charging you more than you deal before.

Torquato Neto | |
Born | Torquato Pereira de Araújo Neto 9 November 1944 Teresina, Piauí, Brazil |
Died | 10 November 1972 Rio de Janeiro, Guanabara, Brazil | (aged 28)
Occupation | Poet, journalist, songwriter |
Torquato Pereira de Araújo Neto (November 9, 1944 – November 10, 1972) was a Brazilian journalist, poet and songwriter. He is perhaps best known as a lyricist for the Tropicália counterculture movement, which later expanded its influence to Música popular brasileira. He worked with Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Edu Lobo and Waly Salomão. He died by suicide at the age of 28.
Neto was the son of a public prosecutor and a primary schoolteacher from Teresina, the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Piauí. At the age of 16, he moved to Salvador, Bahia, to attend secondary school at the Colégio Nossa Senhora da Vitória, where he was a classmate of Gilberto Gil. While there, he also worked as an assistant on Glauber Rocha's first feature film, Barravento.
Neto became actively involved in the cultural scene in Salvador, where he met Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, and Maria Bethânia. In 1962, he moved to Rio de Janeiro to study journalism at university but never graduated. He wrote columns on culture for several publications there. Torquato acted as a cultural agent and polemical defender of the artistic avant-garde, including Tropicalia, Cinema Marginal, and Concretism. He was friends with several major figures of these movements, including the musicians mentioned above, the poets Décio Pignatari and Augusto and Haroldo de Campos, filmmaker Ivan Cardoso, and artist Hélio Oiticica. At this time, Neto came to be seen as a figure in Tropicalism, having written the breviary "Tropicalismo para principiantes" ("Tropicalism for Beginners"), in which he argued for the necessity of creating a genuinely Brazilian "pop": "Accept completely all that the life of the tropics can give, without preconceptions of aesthetic order, without consideration of tackiness or bad taste, solely living the tropical and the new universe it contains, still unknown." Neto was also an important lyricist of iconic songs of the tropicalist movement.
At the end of the 1960s, after the exile of his friends Gil and Caetano under the military dictatorship, he traveled to Europe and the United States with his wife Ana Maria and lived in London for a brief period. On returning to Brazil in the early 1970s, Neto began to isolate himself, feeling alienated by both the military regime and the "ideological patrols" of the left. He went through a series of hospitalizations for alcoholism and broke several friendships. Neto died by suicide the day after his 28th birthday, in 1972.

Annotated: Beethoven’s Secret Code
This post is a part of a series that forms an annotated reading list; all posts in the series can be found here.
Today, I read A Secret Code May Have Been Hiding in Classical Music for 200 Years by S. I. Rosenbaum on The Atlantic (Apple News Link). This article caught my eye because as a lover of Beethoven’s work and former violinist, I’m intrigued by new information about very old things. Beethoven’s work in particular is both approachable for those who don’t listen to classical music frequently and complex enough to keep classical music fans interested.
The article delves into an extra level of complexity within Beethoven’s work that I have never read about before. Long story short: Beethoven’s original music manuscripts have notations that are non-standard and until recently have not seen much research, but it appears he has “23 degrees of dynamics (and counting)”, dynamics being how the music is played at any given moment. Given that these notations were non-standard, they never made it into the printed versions, but had to be seen in the original handwritten manuscripts alone.
Kitchen would eventually identify 23 degrees of dynamics (and counting), from fff—thunderous—to [double underlined] ppp—a whisper. He found four kinds of staccato, two kinds of dynamic swells, marks to indicate different ways of grouping notes together, marks to reinforce crescendos and diminuendos. Taken together, Kitchen argued, these marks amount to “living instructions from one virtuoso performer to another,” an elaborate hidden language conveying new levels of expression—and thus emotion—in Beethoven’s music that had been lost for centuries.
I find this fascinating in the context of playing music. In modern music, you get the recording from the artist—who is often the writer and approving the emotional output of a given track—and you have covers—which are (perhaps obviously) different in almost every way; these days, there is little concern given anymore to the idea that the original composer might have meant something emotionally different from the digital capture.
Of course, that is what makes classical music inherently different from modern musical stylings; classical music is more similar to a language in terms of its ethos. Interpretation is the word that comes to mind here. There are both many ways to interpret the music on the page and many ways that the interpretation can get something wrong through a difference in approach and understanding.
From a technology perspective, for modern music this might be akin to the difference between hearing something live versus listening to a highly compressed recording. What is more, technology has attempted to recreate the experience of live music by creating spatial components or lossless recordings, but no one thinks they are at a concert just because they can hear music in surround sound.
As to why the marks never made it into the composer’s printed scores, Yudkin thinks Beethoven may have accepted that his large personal vocabulary of symbols and abbreviations wouldn’t be easily deciphered by others. Perhaps, Yudkin suggested, he included the marks in his manuscripts simply for his own satisfaction. “You put things in a diary,” Yudkin said, because it yields “a mental satisfaction and emotional satisfaction in being able to express what it is that you feel. And no one else has to see it.”
I loved this passage, especially because of the last line. “Why do you write?” For your own satisfaction. The fact that some people can work with and make money from something they do for themselves is a privilege and a form of wonderful luck. But most people do these things as hobbies or out of necessity to hold onto their sanity. Personally, I feel different—satisfied might actually be the best word for the feeling—when I talk through my ideas or write my thoughts down than when I keep them to myself.
And honestly, it almost doesn’t matter whether people are reading; the point of writing something down (especially hand writing something in this day and age) is immortalization.
For Kitchen, that’s precisely the point of studying Beethoven’s markings. If written notation can encode music, he told me, music can encode human feelings. Therefore, written music can actually transplant “a living emotion” from one mind to another. It’s not just telepathy: Music allows a sliver of immortality.

Entropic provide efficient and sustainable Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Solutions across a wide range of business areas, using the highest quality HVAC products available. We pride ourselves on offering innovative, safe and comfortable ventilation systems that create value for any organisation.
I look forward to future projects where we will work together
We are coming to the end of the contract down in the project so I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Entropic and especially Graham and Michelle for all the help you have given us and our client in making the project as much of a success as it has been. Considering the volume of Iris Dampers and Grilles that were required the lack of issues we have had has been phenomenal. This would not have been achieved without the hard work of those in Entropic and I look forward to future projects where we will work together.
Just to say the sparks, your lad who came to site was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and rather than always getting negative comments it is nice to get some positive ones as well but when I do get nice feedback I like to pass them on as well.
Category: Air handling units, heat recovery, EcoDesign compliance, healthcare
To Whom It May Concern,
We confirm that we specified ‘Entropic’ Heat Recovery Air Handling Units (AHU’s) on a Primary Care Centre project in 2016.
Apart from the high efficiency thermal wheel and robust design of the units, they were compliant with EcoDesign 2018 which was a key attribute of the units. Ecodesign has strict limits on SFP (Specific Fan Power) and high heat recovery requirements for BVU (Balanced Ventilation Units, i.e. units with supply and extract).
The AHU’s were approved under a submittal process with the HSE and have proven to be very reliable to date.
We worked with Entropic on a complex build project. From the get go, they were solution based and always looking forward as to how best get the project over the line. Their solutions were tailored to our specific needs and they have continued to provide best in class after care as we move forward. I would highly recommend the team to any business looking at building/maintaining a ventilation system.
Category: Med-tech, laboratory ventilation system upgrade
Just a word of thanks for the recently completed Lab Development, I can walk away from this one saying that I am 100% happy with the solution offered & installed.
To get the perfect solution is never plain sailing but with considerable effort, attention to detail and fast turn arounds, I can say this one worked out perfect in the end!
The simplicity of the system is what makes it so good… K.I.S.S.! and hopefully reliable for many years to come.
I hope we can continue find the optimum solution for future project here…

WHO says 3,600 people die of pollution in Serbia
, NewsThe Senior World Health Organization (WHO) official in Serbia Marijan Ivanusa said that some 3,600 people die from the consequences of air pollution in the country every year.
Ivanusa told the Serbian state TV (RTS) that air pollution affects people with cardiovascular and lung ailments in some way depending on the level of air pollution and length of exposure.
According to WHO data, some seven million people die of pollution every year across the world, including half a million in Europe. Ivanusa said that regular measurements have to be conducted to inform the public about air pollution levels.
Air pollution levels across Serbia were high over the weekend, especially in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Nis and Valjevo with experts saying that the weather contributed to the high pollution levels.

Holding tanks are large cement or plastic tanks into which household wastewater flows and is stored until it is pumped out.
Septic holding tanks can contain between 1,000 and 3,000 gallons. These tanks are used where space is limited or where a septic drain field isn’t appropriate. Ecological concerns and the protection of nearby lakes, streams or ponds are the most common factors that require the installation of septic holding tanks. For example, property owners living too close to a river had no other options until very recently. Today new options are available such as the Eco-Flow peat-moss filtering system. These new systems have significantly changed the minimum distance requirements to lakes.
In many cases, the holding tank is only used to hold septic waste from the toilet. Many homes that use a holding tank also have a separate system for their grey water. This grey water system is a completely separate septic system designed to dispose of grey water from showers, baths, sinks, etc. Municipal regulations also govern the installation of these systems.
Holding tanks can become a significant financial burden to new homebuyers, so beware and get all the necessary information before you buy. Ask the seller to give you the name of the company that regularly empties their septic tank. Call them and obtain information about the property and the prices they charge. Remember that habits and water usage will vary from one family to the next.
Possibilities where a holding tank may be used:
- A building that isn’t used year round such as a cottage;
- A house near a body of water such as a lake, river, stream or marsh;
- A home or business office with very little land;
- A house whose ground conditions preclude the installation of a septic field.
Understanding Septic Holding Tanks:
A septic holding tank is a vital solution for properties where traditional septic systems are impractical. These large tanks, constructed from durable materials like cement or plastic, are designed to store household wastewater temporarily. With capacities ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 gallons, septic holding tanks are particularly beneficial in areas with limited space or where environmental concerns restrict the installation of a septic drain field. They provide a necessary alternative for homes near sensitive ecological zones such as lakes, rivers, and streams.
Advantages of Septic Holding Tanks:
Opting for a septic holding tank can be a strategic decision for homeowners dealing with specific land or environmental limitations. These tanks are essential in locations that cannot support a septic field due to proximity to water bodies or poor soil conditions. While installation costs for septic holding tanks are generally lower than other septic systems, it’s important to consider their maintenance requirements. Regular pumping is necessary, as a couple can generate up to 1,000 gallons of wastewater per month, which underscores the importance of understanding ongoing maintenance expenses.
Innovations and Considerations:
Recent advancements such as the Eco-Flow peat-moss filtering system have revolutionized how properties close to natural water sources manage their septic needs. This innovative system significantly reduces the required distance from water bodies, providing more installation options for property owners. However, those considering a septic holding tank should conduct thorough research and consult local municipal offices about installation conditions and maintenance costs. Knowing the specifics can help mitigate future financial burdens and ensure compliance with local environmental regulations.

“We thought our daughter was safe in the church youth group.”
“We trusted him. He went to our church and knew our family.”
“We had no idea the music pastor had a history of complaints at past churches.”
“With so much on my plate as a single mom, I was thankful to have a man investing in my son. I had no idea the devastation he was causing and the ongoing trauma he would cause.”
“My marriage was failing, and I thought the pastor would be a safe place to turn for counsel. He took advantage of me when I was most vulnerable.”
Churches should be a place of refuge for the most vulnerable. But out of a desire to trust others, to encourage service, and because of a need for volunteers, churches can sometimes quickly place people in positions to fill necessary spots. This can put the vulnerable in danger, especially children and youth. In this way, wolves have entered the flock in sheep’s clothing.
One step churches can take to ensure that staff and volunteers are suitable for the positions in which they serve is to implement a methodical process to recruit and screen employees. This often takes time. It quickly fills slots to have someone show up to church, receive a cheap background check, and start serving right away, but making careful hiring decisions is an important way to protect the flock.
As Pastor Vance Pitman said when he joined the Shepherding the Flock panel at the 2019 Caring Well Conference, “Jesus had some very strong language for those who did not care for the smallest and the least of these. He said it would be better to tie a millstone around your neck and to throw it in the sea than to be a stumbling block to one of these little children. . . . We can’t afford not to do this in the day and age we are living in.”
What is the purpose of the Hiring Guide?
Churches want to hire well and want to protect the vulnerable in their midst. The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, in partnership with the Sexual Abuse Advisory Group, has created the Caring Well Hiring Guide to provide a resource for churches to protect and care for their congregations well as they hire staff and select volunteers.
What are the practices in hiring or selecting volunteers that will help you see red flags and screen out those who should not be working with children? The Hiring Guide walks church leaders step by step through creating a screening framework. Whether you’re a small church who is considering the hiring process for staff and volunteers for the first time or if you are reviewing existing policies, this guide will walk you through practical steps to hire well.
Who is the Hiring Guide intended for?
This guide will help anyone responsible for hiring staff or selecting volunteers at a church or ministry. It could be especially helpful to executive pastors, children and student ministers, human resources directors, or volunteer coordinators. But it can be widely distributed to those beyond those positions. Those on the team not directly responsible for hiring could benefit from reading this resource, since the principles in this guide will help your full staff to create an environment that is safe for survivors and safe from abuse. Sharing the guide with your team will be one more way to reinforce how seriously your church takes protecting the vulnerable. Sharing this resource also allows for more individuals in the church to be aware of red flags or grooming practices and to speak up when they see something concerning.
What does it cover?
This resource covers everything from recruitment to the training of staff and volunteers. It includes sections on the following topics:
- Written applications
- Background checks
- Reference checks
- Internet checks
- Orientation and training
It answers questions such as such as:
- What is helpful to include on written applications?
- Are all background checks created equal?
- Who should provide references?
- What are red flags to watch for when interviewing a candidate?
As churches seek to be a refuge to the most vulnerable, this free new resource will help them evaluate their current processes to ensure that they are doing everything they can to screen staff and volunteers to protect those in their care. As Samantha Kilpatrick, a former prosecutor and attorney explains, “While the church has no control over the evil intent of the perpetrator, the church does have control over its ministry areas, how they operate, and who is eligible to serve in those ministries. The church must do everything in her power to lower the risk of sexual abuse and assault . . .”

The international food and beverage company Kraft Foods, well known for its brands such as Philadelphia cheese, Miracle Whip mayonnaise and Jacobs coffee, has built a new production plant for cheese products and powdered drinks in Bahrain, from where it will supply food retailers throughout the Middle East with its products. The central ammonia refrigeration system was provided by Johnson Controls International.
The operator attached great importance to the refrigeration that should be economical and sustainable.
At the heart of the facility is a machine room with ammonia refrigeration units that chill cold water to a temperature of just 2°C by cooling the ammonia, which has a total refrigerating capacity of 8,000 kW, and evaporates at 0°C. The coolant is distributed to the various users via a network of pipes, where it absorbs the heat generated by the manufacturing processes.

The Snaidero Group started from humble beginnings. Founded by Mr. Rino Snaidero in 1946 in the Friuli region, the first workshop employing 16 local people and manufactured bedroom furniture and windows to service the mass housebuilding “Ina casa” programme post world war II.
Snaidero very quickly outgrew the workshop, and a new much larger building was erected on the site of his father's vegetable garden. The next big step in the history of the Snaidero Group came in 1959 when Mr. Snaidero officially set up Rino Snaidero & Co, transforming the existing workshop to focus solely on the manufacture of Kitchens. This bold move meant the entire manufacturing process needed revolutionising, Mr. Snaidero invested in yet another larger facility on a one-hectare piece of land that we still call home to this present day.
In 1973 the factory needed to be extended again to keep up with demand, and it was at this point in history the relationship between Snaidero and renowned leading architects and designers was born. Snaidero founded a strong relationship with Angelo Mangiarotti who came on to design the new company headquarters. During the 1970s Mangiarotti was working on a series of mushroom-shaped blown glass vases: a design solution that translated to the designs of Snaidero’s distinctive office building.
Following the successful design and completion of the Snaidero Headquarters, Mangiarotti was commissioned to design the next generation of Snaidero kitchens, which started with the release of the “Cruscotto” kitchen - instantly displayed at the MoMa in New York (Museum of Modern Art) and is still to this day only one of a handful of kitchens to be on display https://www.moma.org/collection/works/3541
In 1976 disaster struck, the Fruili region was hit with a devastating earthquake; the epicentre just 5 miles away from the factory, and in an instant years of work was almost destroyed. It is a testament to Mr. Snaidero that he was able to gather all the surviving workforce (now around 1,000 employees) and rallied them all with the following statement “Do not give up, difficulties should be faced with determination. When these big disasters strike of course we all need a corner to sleep in, but it is essential to rebuild the workplaces immediately and then the houses. If there is no work, there is little need for houses”. From this powerful speech, all surviving machinery was moved to the smaller and older factory that had been outgrown years before, and from there just 10 days after the terrible earthquake, full production recommenced. The main factory in Majano was re built and opened it’s doors again in 1977 with a new earthquake-resistant design.
After Snaidero had tasted the benefits of working with leading designers and architects there was no going back, from then on Snaidero begun collaborating with the world's leading designers and Architects. One of the most famous longstanding design partnerships with Pininfarina is still going strong to this day, most famously known for his work with Ferrari. Pininfarina is quoted to have said in 1990 “I can safely say that I would never have designed kitchen cabinets if I hadn't been approached by Snaidero. We brought to the table a wealth of experience in formal aesthetics, recognised worldwide in the motor vehicle field. The meeting of ideas was found in the desire to see if we could translate our background of history and technological knowledge into designing a kitchen as if it were a machine for living in, i.e. form and function. And I must admit that Snaidero was at the cutting edge in every department”. This has flourished, leading to a catalogue of great design partnerships with iconic and renowned kitchen ranges that have picked up multiple global design awards.
In the Modern Day, Snaidero now has operations in over 86 countries across 6 continents, with over 800 official retail outlets worldwide and a portfolio of in-house European brands. Snaidero is now one of Italy’s largest kitchen exporters, operating through two business lines, retail and contract, the latter having supplied some of the world’s most prestigious developments, with a strong presence in countries such as Dubai, the USA, Australia & the UK (as Euro Cucina).

The new identity by Team was devised to bring the fair into a new era, reflect its significant growth, and stay true to its roots and values.
New York-based studio Team has created a new brand identity for Independent, an organisation known for showcasing amazing art. It features typefaces inspired by classic New York infrastructural signage.
Team’s Stephanie Zabala was the associate design director on the project and worked alongside senior designers Hua Chen and Derek Koch and creative directors Amy Globus and John Clark to develop the visual identity. “As a designer, I find working with folks in the art world exciting because I feel like there are unique creative avenues to explore that don’t always come up with other projects,” says Zabala.
When Independent was founded 15 years ago, it was a single art fair but has since evolved into so much more. Its initial branding was also not very distinct and no longer accurately represented its offering. Zabala defines Independent’s unique purpose as an arts organisation, putting it down to the fact that Independent works to “level the playing field for lesser known narratives in the arts space.”
Creating a design system that could morph and shift for different fairs while maintaining one cohesive overarching identity was a challenge. Zabala says the design team had to consider the range of art and artists involved, as the system needed to with and showcase all of them “without losing its own distinct identity”.
Since the organisation’s ventures and offerings have grown significantly, Team also recognised that the design direction needed to be “dynamic, versatile, and expressive” to fully realise Independent’s vision. On the other hand, Independent has built a strong reputation for being “the insider’s favourite fair,” and its perspective is still deeply rooted in New York, according to Zabala.
As a result, the final design concept was inspired by New York’s historic infrastructural details but designed to grow and expand as the organisation does.
Team designed a logotype for Independent using F37 Foundry’s K9 typeface, working with the type designers to modify it further. This bespoke version includes vestigial serifs that subtlety nod to old-school NYC signage.
The rest of the typography in the brand identity is inspired by classic New York infrastructural signage, such as the subway system and street signs. Team opted to use the Söhne type family, a sans-serif that was inspired by the type used in New York City’s subway system called Akzidenz Grotesk.
A graphic motif was also implemented across the brand, taking the “I” out of Independent and playing with the serifs to make a set of unique shapes. These serve as graphic elements or frames for artwork.
Zabala says: “The vestigial serifs are subtle in the wordmark and become really expressive in the brand system, acting as both the letter “I” and a framing device for the art that Independent showcases.
“By playing with the shape and intensity of the serifs, we could vary the expressiveness of the shapes and create super wacky shapes to change with every piece of art.
Independent’s new colour palette intentionally ranges from neutral shades to bright, unexpected colours, giving the brand flexibility. Zabala notes that Independent’s fairs show “traditional 20th-century art to contemporary works” and spotlight “internationally recognised artists and those with lesser-known narratives”.
She says: “We wanted to use a palette that deviated from the expected neutral space and use interesting colour combinations that could modulate depending on the context.”

Treasury yields fell as data indicating a further slowdown in the US labor market boosted Wall Street’s bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts. Stocks gave up earlier gains as Nvidia fell.
Just a few days before the payrolls report, JOLTS, a measure of job openings, fell short of expectations and reached its lowest level since 2021. The figures sparked an immediate reaction in the bond market, sending the yield on the US two-year note briefly below that of the ten-year note as traders bet on a massive rate cut this month.
With the Fed set to begin cutting interest rates in a few weeks, the main question now is how much the first reduction will be. The answer will most likely be determined by monthly US employment data, which are due on Friday.
Investors are on edge after last month’s jobs report sparked growth concerns. Jerome Powell has made it clear that the Fed is now more concerned with labor market risks than inflation, and another bad report would strengthen the case for a significant rate cut.
Treasury 10-year yields fell seven basis points, to 3.76%. Swap traders have fully priced in a quarter-point rate cut in September, with a more than 30% chance of a half-point cut. Over 100 basis points of easing are expected during the remaining three meetings this year.
The S&P 500 index fell 0.2%. Nvidia experienced its worst two-day decline since October 2022. Verizon Communications is said to be in advanced talks to buy Frontier Communications, and Joe Biden is said to be preparing to block Nippon Steel’s acquisition of United States Steel.

The Macedonian senior football team justified its favorite role and celebrated over the Faroe Islands with 1-0 in the last match of the League of Nations.
We were already assured of the first place in the group and the place in the B division, but regardless of that we reached another celebration, the fifth in a row in this competition and with that we remain in play for the barrage of placement for the World Cup which is on the program in 2026 year.
In today's mаtch, we may have lacked freshness, but we reached the desired goal with the goal that was scored by Girona striker Bojan Miovski in the second half. Atanasov sent a ball after which the guests did not react in an appropriate way, or rather the mistake was used to the maximum by Miovski who scored to the joy of the fans at the national arena "Todor Proeski" in Skopje.

Fossil seaward-dipping reflector sequences preserved in southeastern Australia: a 600 Ma volcanic passive margin in eastern Gondwanaland
posted on 2023-05-25, 23:54 authored by Direen, NG, Crawford, AJEvidence for a c. 600 Ma rifted passive margin in eastern Australia exists in the form of multiple belts of mafic volcanic rocks preserved along the western margin of the Tasman Fold Belt System, and giving rise to elongate magnetic anomalies. Outcrop, drillhole and geophysical evidence points to piles of lavas, volcaniclastic and intrusive rocks up to 6 km thick, extending for strike lengths of hundreds of kilometres in individual segments. The distinctive, unifying characteristics of these piles are apparent common formation ages (600-580 Ma), presence of early more landward transitional alkaline basalts, and more seaward abundant rift tholeiites, with high-temperature picrites and olivine-rich basalts at most localities. Despite later structural reorganization, these belts have close geochemical, geometric and lithological affinities with Mesozoic seaward-dipping reflector sequences along the North Atlantic, and northwestern Australian volcanic passive margins, and strongly imply the formation of a volcanic passive margin in eastern Gondwanaland at the close of the Neoproterozoic. Recognition of this event has implications for the position of an implied earlier rifted margin related to the break-up of Rodinia around 780 Ma. A rifting event at 600 Ma in eastern Gondwanaland helps explain both the lack of evidence for volcanism from Rodinia break-up, and a widespread 600 Ma population of inherited zircons within rocks of the Lachlan Orogen, which developed outboard of the passive margin in earliest Palaeozoic time.

TOMS RIVER — A Tuckerton Borough Police Officer has been indicted for siccing his German Shepherd K-9 named “Gunner” on an elderly 58-yr-old woman.
The incident began when Officer Justin M. Cherry apprehended Wendy Tucker, 58.
Officer Cherry released his attack dog, Gunner, onto Wendy’s body and allowed it to continue attacking her while she was already under the control of officers, according to the indictment.
Officer Cherry is also being charged with falsifying his police report, using his position of a police officer to commit aggravated assault on Wendy, and tampering with public records.
Officer Cherry and another officer originally confronted Wendy in January, 2014 and discovered that she had been driving her vehicle with a suspended license.
The police instructed Wendy to take a bus home instead of driving, to which she agreed.
But shortly after telling the police that she agreed to take the bus home, they found her driving her vehicle anyway.
At that point Officer Cherry followed Wendy and stopped her with other officers from the Barnegat Police Department.
The officers had placed Wendy under arrest, but officer Cherry went ahead and released his K-9 attack dog onto Wendy unnecessarily, according to reports.
Officer Cherry then lied on his police reports to cover-up the attack, according to the prosecution.

Officer Cherry previously shot and killed a man for having a knife during a domestic dispute.
He has been suspended without pay, and set free on $15,000 after charges of official misconduct and aggravated assault.
Tucker was originally charged with driving with a suspended license and eluding. The eluding charge has been dismissed.

Dina Singha, Founder
For those of you who only read the first two lines of the review. You don’t have to think twice before hiring Firmtable! Go for it without scepticism.
The team has shown such great competence, understanding and dedication towards my project, it left me dumbfounded.
One could see how much they love their work. Website making is not my area of expertise but not once did the team make me feel dumb XD My website looks exactly how I wanted it to. All thanks to them.
It’s a blessing to work with people who are humble. And Firmtable definitely hits the spot! Their work is to the point and that too at a great price. I also would like to point out that, it’s the pictures provided by the clients that constitute 90% of the website. So, if the website is not as per your liking. Maybe it’s you and not them.
Their assiduous efforts are immensely appreciated, for they have proved their competence in more ways than one.
I came here as a client, but definitely staying as family. Cheers to the team 🎉

Former Gov. Pat McCrory has been here and there criticizing the media — and other folks in Raleigh he feels let him down — to anyone who will listen. It’s been mostly behind the scenes. Until NOW. Look at what popped up on Twitter:
Where was this fight when he was in office? I agree with the man on this front. All of these driveby media and leftist politico d-bags spent months and months screaming about how North Carolina’s economy was tanking. Now, after their mission has been accomplished (McCrory gone, Cooper in), they’re running stories about how great things are. What a pack of crap-weasels.
Is McCrory stepping out like this on social media — taking shots at old foes — a signal of his 2020 intentions? The political rumor mill has been hot and heavy about an attempted McCrory comeback that year. I’ve heard from all kinds of political players from Murphy to Manteo who have been getting felt out about a potential McCrory comeback.

How to use Google Fonts
I am a huge proponent of using System Fonts, which are fast, lightweight and work great, but sometimes you need to be a little fancy.
You need a specific font that will make your designs look good.
Maybe a nice font like Slabo, Lato or Raleway.
Google provides, as part of its numerous services, a tool called Google Fonts, which (as I write this) supports 992 font families:
The interface is a bit overwhelming and as a person not expert in fonts, I am definitely confused at which font should I choose.
I typically search for “best google fonts” on Google and I look at the articles I get, to get an idea of how a font could look like. Looking at dozens of fonts on Google Fonts is not ideal for that, and some sites make it easy with colors, like on this post:
Let’s take one of the fonts I used in one of my websites: Press Start 2P.
It’s a great font for a retro website. I used it in my Web Platform course homepage, to which I wanted to give a computer-y look.
On the font page, you can see how each character is rendered:
Scrolling down you can see who is the designer, and an important part: the license. In this case the page says
You can use them freely in your products & projects - print or digital, commercial or otherwise. However, you can’t sell the fonts on their own.
which grants us a lot of permissions.
We can use the font as we want, even in a commercial project, but we can’t resell it.
At the bottom we have an interesting section that lists which fonts are often paired with this one.
With fonts I try to be as conservative as possible because most of the times I don’t know what I’m doing and seeing what other people do and copying the most reasonable choice is a good strategy.
Now you can press the “Download family” link on the top right of the page to download the font TTF file, which you can install on your computer and use it as a font in your desktop programs.
But you don’t need to do so to use the font on a website.
What you can do is click “Select this style” next to each style you want, in the Styles section
This will add it to the Selected families sidebar:
Once you are done with it, you click the Embed tab and there you can find the code you need to enter in your project: a link
element to include the font in the HTML, and the CSS rule to apply the font family to specific elements:
So in this case what you need to do is to add this HTML:
and then this CSS:
/* use your favorite selector here */
font-family: 'Press Start 2P', cursive;
We have a fallback font in case the font can’t be loaded, or takes too much to load.
Another way to include the font is using the @import
directive in the CSS, so you don’t need to use the link
attribute in the HTML - all is in the CSS file:
But this approach has one limitation: it’s slower. If the font is linked in the HTML, the browser will make a request to the font URL as soon as it reads the HTML.
If the font is linked in the CSS, the browser first has to make a request to load the CSS, then it can make a request to load the font URL.
And a few milliseconds lost here can make the difference between a page that loads instantly with the right font, and a page that first loads with the fallback font, and then loads the correct font when it’s available.

Whipping Cream REAL DAIRY WHIPPING CREAM
This palate-pleasing Whipping Cream is already lightly sweetened and delicately flavored . Because of its slightly heavier body, it gives decorators more flexibility and keeps their creations looking beautifully fresh longer than ordinary whipping cream. But the unexpected bonus is Flavor Right Whipping Cream’s remarkable freeze-thaw stability. Just store it in the freezer until you need it—even after application, when domed! Real dairy whipping cream has never been so convenient.

In my last post I laid out the different stages of the personalization maturity curve. In this blog I will examine what your organization needs to do to level up to deliver the personalized customer experiences consumers expect.
Start with strong sponsorship from a business unit – not technology driven
The first step is to gain support for the initiative from one of your business units, and for them to act as the main sponsor and driver. Embedding personalization in your customer journey and experiences is not about the technology. It’s about focusing on enhancing customer engagement to increase revenue and loyalty while reducing operating costs. Of course, IT, customer experience, enterprise architecture, compliance and security teams are all key stakeholders and must be included when embarking on ‘personalization’ initiatives. However, a business unit, such Cards, Personal Loans, Mortgage Lending, Wealth, Insurance, etc. should take the lead by building a business case for expected ROI, and how to measure success.
It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Use a walk – jog – run mindset
In my previous blog, I discussed the stages of personalization and how different elements must come together.
Organizations that succeed on this path are the ones that not only see the big picture but also adopt a practical road map, achieving personalization maturity stages in discreet, measurable and visible steps.
Don’t try to launch on day one personalization across all customer interaction channels like mobile, web, chatbot, call center, ATM, for all your products and services. That is a great goal to have but start small, say with one channel like Mobile Banking and focus on a limited number of use cases, say Card activation and usage. The business unit must prioritize areas of focus that will later guide the technology, data and infrastructure requirements and deployment, and not the other way around.
Create and empower a cross-functional execution team
Once the initial focus of the personalization initiative or project is determined, senior executives must create the right team. Senior executive buy-in and alignment is necessary to not only ensure success of an initial pilot project ‘walk’ but also to guarantee the sustainability of the transformation ‘marathon’. Generally, the team will include business, user journey experts, digital engagement experts, IT/technology development, data/infrastructure, and compliance/legal staff. Governance rules and strong agile project management will be key to ensuring a successful pilot launch.
Determine technology and data infrastructure changes in increments but with long term vision in mind
Once the project team has prioritized which initial user journeys will be personalized then the conversation will likely split into 3 main streams.
1. User experience design
2. Data requirements and enablement
3. Technology tools.
In designing, selecting, and evaluating options, it is important to maintain focus on the needs for the initial project while looking for answers that can support future stages of achieving personalization maturity. Demonstrating progress is far more valuable than driving for perfection which is never achievable because customer requirements and technological capabilities constantly change.
I have observed that banks which focus on progress achieve more and faster. I believe that leapfrogging from Stage 1 to Stage 5 is far riskier to achieve and costly. Moving stage by stage – a marathon approach – provides faster tangible results and helps with organizational focus, cultural, and technical learnings, thus creating a stronger foundation for building on the personalization stack (people, technology, channels, user journeys.)
Deploy, Measure, Refine, Repeat
Plan and communicate your deployment with all appropriate stakeholders. Depending on the personalized user journeys that you are launching, you may need to communicate the changes not only to customers, but your call center, branch staff, marketing etc. Clearly communicate what the change is about, why you are doing it, and how front-line staff may be impacted. The messaging from your internal communications team needs to be tight.
Make sure you measure the results and define success during your design phase. It would be counterproductive to implement a change without being able to track and report the impact. For example, if you launch a personalized journey expecting to increase spend, make sure you have a before and after snapshot of the target segment and spend profile. Having a control group is critical to clearly identifying impact. Don’t underestimate what it takes to achieve accurate and meaningful measurement of impact, as it may not be a simple task, and will require some data capture and analysis.
Learn from the measurements, compare results with intended goals and refine the user journeys to better align with goals. For the initial launch of any project, it is important to demonstrate success that exceeds expectations and delivers the momentum needed to justify the next stage of investment. Your organization will be well on its way in offering the relevant, personalized customer experiences that consumers have come to expect in today’s digital-first world.
