Damage in different language nodes may influence whether local plasticity is possible and whether right hemisphere recruitment is beneficial. However, the relationships of both lesion size and location to patterns of remapping are poorly understood. In the context of a picture naming fMRI task, we tested whether lesion size and location relate to activity in surviving left hemisphere language nodes, as well as homotopic activity in the right hemisphere during covert name retrieval and overt name production. We found that lesion size was positively associated with greater right hemisphere activity during both phases of naming, a pattern that has frequently been suggested but has not previously been clearly demonstrated. During overt naming, lesions in the inferior frontal gyrus led to deactivation of contralateral frontal areas, while lesions in motor cortex led to increased right motor cortex activity. Furthermore, increased right motor activity related to better naming performance only when left motor cortex was lesioned, suggesting compensatory takeover of speech or language function by the homotopic node. These findings demonstrate that reorganization of language function, and the degree to which reorganization facilitates aphasia recovery, is dependent on the size and site of the lesion. | 2019-04-21T21:06:33 | http://medstarauthors.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=3816 |
Start putting more YOU into what you do and stop letting the fears and hesitations of other people affect you.
For as long as I can remember, there’s been a constant feeling inside me that I can only best describe as a pilot light of weirdness. This “pilot light of weirdness” could also be called your personal brand.
My pilot light comes in the form of my unwillingness to let the boundaries set by other people stop me from doing things differently. Your pilot light might be your creativity, the way you write, how you see the world, something unique that sets you apart.
It’s time you started to embrace your own inner pilot light and stop letting other people hold you back.
As I’ve grown older I’ve learned that people and society try to snuff out our pilot lights. People have experienced things in their lives that have caused them harm, stress, or anguish. Due to their own experiences, they project these feelings on anyone within reach.
Often times, people don’t even realize they’re projecting their fears on others. But at the same time, they don’t have the self-awareness to take a step back and realize people need to experience things for themselves.
The fears and hesitations of other people shouldn’t hold you back.
Once I came to this realization about my inner pilot light and decided I no longer wanted the fears and hesitations of other people to hold me back, I started actually adding fuel to my pilot light, effectively creating a roaring blaze of weirdness. Little by little I started giving myself permission to chase my big ideas and in ways that felt 100% authentic to me.
I didn’t know it a few years ago, but I was starting to build my personal brand.
This continually-added “fuel” (read: chasing my big ideas and ignoring the fear of others) has led to some of my most successful moves in business. At the same time, I’ve been able to create a name for myself and stand out from people in the same entrepreneurial space. Projects like IWearYourShirt, BuyMyLastName, SponsorMyBook, and BuyMyFuture, are all examples of turning my pilot light way up and embracing who I am and what I stand for.
But let’s dive a little deeper. When I say “fuel,” what exactly do I mean?
When I made the decision I was going to write a book about my entrepreneurial journey in 2013, I did what any well-intentioned future author would do: I looked at the landscape I was about to play in.
The first step in that process was searching the word “entrepreneurship” in Amazon’s books section. I discovered there were over 50,000+ results.
You may not be a writer, but I guarantee that have your own unique experiences and personal views/stories that are different from everyone else. These specific things are your fuel!
I didn’t learn to embrace these things on my own when writing my book. Luckily I had a super awesome book authoring coach named Lizzie who helped me realize this. Had I not had her in my corner, I probably would have let imposter syndrome take over and it’s likely that I wouldn’t have written the most authentic and personal book that I could have.
During that writing process, Lizzie kept telling me to put more “me” into my writing. She kept pushing me to focus on how I would tell a story and how I would handle a situation or issue (that I was writing about). Those notes of encouragement from Lizzie were fuel on my inner fire.
Creativity For Sale (my first book) has been never been a “best selling book,” but those types of labels don’t matter to me.
I care more that I get an email or two per week from people who’ve read my book and how much of an impact it’s made on their lives. How much they’ve appreciated my unique outlook and the way that I write. And if numbers matter to you dear reader of this article, I’ve sold over 15,000 copies of my tiny self-published book. Not too shabby, eh?
Out of 50,000+ books on Amazon, I was able to stand out from all of them for a large number of readers because of who I am and embracing my unique personal brand.
This is OKAY! In fact, creating a product or service that’s already been created shows there’s a market for it. It’s much easier to build a successful business when a market already exists for your product.
Almost everyone knows that Google wasn’t the first search engine created. But because the founders of Google had their own stories, technical skills, and personal views, they’ve been able to build one of the most profitable companies in the world (leaving every search engine in the dust, even Dogpile!).
Put as much YOU into your product as possible. No one can compete with you on that.
What do you stand for? What are your core values?
What are you not willing to sacrifice for your customers?
What is quirky or weird about you?
What life stories can you share that people can latch onto and relate with?
What do people tell you is different about you?
Those items are your fuel for your pilot light. They are the things that will make up your unique personal brand. And trust me, they are also the same things that will help you make more money if you embrace and share them.
Everyone can compete with you on features.
Everyone can compete with you with knowledge.
No one can compete with you on your personal experiences, stories, and unique outlooks.
Start putting more YOU into what you do and stop letting the fears and hesitations of other people dim your pilot light of weirdness.
Creating a personal brand is nothing more than sharing your unique stories and experiences. Don't let the fears and hesitations of other people stop you from being different and from embracing your own personal brand.

This client got in contact with us through their neighbour as we had carried out an extension for them the year before. We worked closely with the client before securing the contract to help with the specification and to identify a complete budget for the project.
This project had a 225mm main sewer running through the garden at a depth of about 1.7m this had to remain on throughout the groundwork phase. The new extension footings were to be right over this pipe so the structural engineer designed ground beams and concrete pads to avoid any loading onto this pipe. Once the brick and block works were up we pitched the roof and employed a specialist contractor to install a zinc roof covering.
As part of this project, it was also necessary to make the back third of the garage into a habitable space so we could make a utility room just off of the kitchen to house the washing machine Tumble dryer and boiler. The main kitchen diner had a wet underfloor heating system installed running of the new boiler so to eliminate the need for any radiators.
We managed to negotiate a very good deal on behalf of our client from our supplier for the kitchen that we then installed. The client used external contractors for the granite worktops and had an Arga stove fitted by Arga, we liaised with both these contractors throughout the fit-out process so there was a seamless finish to the end result.
This project remains one of our favourites that we have carried out and have received other extensions refurbishment works of the back of people seeing it. | 2019-04-24T22:24:21 | https://www.hogsbackbuilders.co.uk/project/hogs-back-builders-project/ |
Essential Technologies: Does Your Lab Have Them?
The pressure to provide outstanding service to your lab's providers and patients is growing, which is why IT professionals in healthcare need to start thinking outside of the box of traditional models and applications.
Progressive labs are now thinking proactively rather than waiting to react to provider issues. These same labs are also shaping the experiences and expectations of their providers with essential technologies that help them win more clients, gain back hours of productivity, and confidently make decisions for the future.
Listed below are 3 essential technologies and their uses -- is your lab using them?
So, maybe you put checkmarks by all of these technology essentials, or maybe your lab is utilizing 2 of 3. Yet the current transformation of care and service for providers could be saying, "It's not good enough."
hc1.com Healthcare Relationship Management makes it easy for your lab to reap the benefits of each essential technology, creating the kinds of client relationships that result in higher client retention, stronger profitability, and more client wins. Your lab shouldn't have to choose one or the other. To learn more, view our 2-minute video. | 2019-04-21T02:54:05 | https://www.hc1.com/blog/essential-technologies-does-your-lab-have-them/ |
I am going to assume that you have heard of the earthquake that hit Japan recently.
We live in a universe that is entirely indifferent to our survival and well-being as individuals, as communities, and even as a species, surrounded by massively powerful forces.
Our best hope in protecting ourselves is to understand the world around us in ways that allow us to predict, and thus to avoid, these disasters. And when those disasters strike anyway, to depend on each other for mutual support.
When it comes to giving aid, reason should prevail here as well. Irrational, careless charity may make the giver feel good with false beliefs that they have helped, but people who truly care about others will want to make sure to make reason-based contributions to disaster relief.
Disaster relief organizations state that the best help that one can provide is to provide cash. Let the professionals determine what they physically need and where they need it.
At times like these, many people make contributions that are not only worthless but counter-productive. One such form of aid is for people to rush to the area where the disaster has struck so that they can volunteer their labor. Once they arrive, they end up becomming a part of the problem. They are just one more mouth to feed and one more body to take care of.
People also tend to make entirely worthless contributions of food and clothing. The labor involved in evaluating, sorting, crating, shipping, and distributing these types of contributions can almost certainly be better spent elsewhere. Cash allows the organizations to purchase and ship food, blankets, shelter, medicines, and qualified people in bulk - much more efficiently.
Of course, those donations can be made useful because, in spite of the disaster in Japan, you will almost certainly find people in your community in need of that kind of help. And there is no need to think that the only help worth providing is help given to Japan.
That is another burden that charities suffer at times like this. Local charities see their sources of income and support dry up as people shift their contributions in ways that focus on the disaster. So, keep that in mind when making a contribution.
Then there are those for whom their contributions are entirely self-serving; who have no interest in actually helping people as can be seen through their actions. People donate high-healed shoes and fine clothes, not because they have any interest in helping others, but because it makes a nice tax deduction.
If people are making irrational contributions, it really does no good to say, "At least their heart is in the right place," and let it pass. If their heart really is in the right place, then they care not to make irrational and senseless contributions. If they are offended by the news that their contributions are irrational and senseless, then their heart is not in the right place. They are seeking only the personal pleasure that comes from thinking that they have helped, they are not seeking to help. That is not a sentiment that deserves our respect or consideration.
I would point out that a lot of charities resell the clothing and the other "useless" items more locally and then send the money to the areas they're actually focusing on.
So high heeled shoes and a decorative crystal vase might actually still be helpful.
Furthermore, while a disaster area like the earthquake in Japan has no use for things like prom dresses or books, doesn't mean other areas don't. Every year I read about a local charity looking for gently used prom dresses that they, in turn, give to low income students wishing to attend their school prom. Its not a disaster relief situation but its still a worth while cause if you have a dress that you'll never wear again. They also take wedding dresses to give to low income brides.
What is the best way to help Japan right now? | 2019-04-24T20:37:53 | http://atheistethicist.blogspot.com/2011/03/disaster-prevention-and-relief.html |

Former UP President (Francisco) Nemenzo – whom I was privileged to serve – was frankly not too fond of the phrase “iskolar ng bayan” to describe the UP student. We are all, of course, scholars of the people in this university, in the technical sense that our studies are subsidized by the sweat of the poor, whose hopes we bear upon our shoulders.
But the President’s point was that scholarship remains a distinction to be earned not merely by scoring well in an entrance examination, but by adopting a lifelong attitude of critical inquiry and rational judgment. This, sadly, is something that many of us lose upon our entry into the University and our immersion in its life – not only its intellectual and academic life, but also its social and professional life. The curiosity ends, the magic fades, the writing dries up, and we retreat to a cocoon – to a dimly lit room marked “Me & Myself” – there to spend the rest of our career sulking over the next fellow’s promotion and so-and-so’s research grant. “Get a life” has been one of my lifelong mantras. I have always believed that while a formal education is a wonderful thing, what I call an active life – with all its serendipitous detours and little accidents – is even better. It is a clich? by now to say that there are many things we can never learn in school – but for those of us who are in school, it is even more important to remember this.
Some of the best things happen when we step outside of our own lives and begin to be engaged in those of others. Often, the answers to our own problems lie in others, and in their larger predicaments. While involvement in a great cause can also create its own kind of blindness to everything else, I believe that, at least once in our lives, we should embrace a passion larger than ourselves; even the disillusionment that often follows can be very instructive, and will bring us one step closer to wisdom.
One of the best ideas I ever heard came from a friend whom I used to play billiards with until the wee hours of the morning: “Everyone,” he said while cleaning up the balls on the table, “should be entitled to make at least one big mistake.” I would not have been the writer I became if I had chosen the safe path and stayed where I was supposed to be. It took me two years to finish my MFA, and only three to finish my PhD. But before that, it took me 14 years to get my AB.
At 12 – like your chancellor – I entered the Philippine Science High School. As my parents never tired of telling anyone who cared to listen (and even those who didn’t), I was the entrance-exam topnotcher of my batch, No. 1 of about 6,000 examinees. However, what my parents didn’t say was that after my first year in Science High, I was going to be kicked out -with a 1.0 in English and a 5.0 in Math. What happened? Well, you might say that I got a life. From the grade-school nerd who read two books a day in our all-boys Catholic school, I suddenly discovered girls, parties, and fun. What did I do? I used my 1.0 in English to save my 5.0 in Math, by writing a letter of appeal that began with “At the outset, let me say that I bear malice toward none.” I guess it worked, because they put me on probation for a year and I survived PSHS by the skin of my teeth.
At 16, I entered UP as an industrial engineering major – and promptly got a 5.0 in Math 17, for too many absences – the bane of the arrogant Science High graduate, even the perennial flunker like me who thought he already knew more Math than he needed to know.
At 17, still a freshman, I quit college – over the tears of my mother, whose fondest hope was for me to graduate from UP just like she did. I wanted to join the revolution, like many of my comrades; at the same time I was impatient to get a job. At 18, I was working as a newspaper reporter covering hospital fires, US embassy rallies, suicide cases, factory strikes, and typhoon relief operations. I spent most of my 19th year in martial-law prison. At 20, I was a husband and father. At 26, I took my first foreign trip. At 27, I learned how to drive – and went back to school. At 30, I got my AB, and decided that what I wanted to do was to write and teach for the rest of my life, so here I am.
I have been shot at, imprisoned, and worst of all, rejected by more crushes than I care to remember. Aside from my abortive career in journalism, I once worked as a cook-waiter-cashier-busboy-janitor, cutting 40 pounds of pork and chicken every day before turning them into someone’s dinner. Much earlier, I worked as a municipal employee, checking the attendance of Metro Aides at seven in the morning, and then I studied printmaking and sold my etchings cheaply by the dozen in Ermita. Incidentally, it was at that printmaking shop that I met my wife June, who’s here with me today, and for whose patience with my colorful moods I am forever grateful.
Some of these events have found their way to my writing; most of them have not and never will. I believe that creative writing should generate its own excitement, beyond whatever may have happened to the author in his or her own life. But neither can I deny that my outlook has been influenced by what I have seen out there, as bright, as indelible, and as disturbing as fresh blood. If we are to abide by the Phi Kappa Phi motto to “let the love of learning rule humanity,” we should first ourselves be ruled by the love of learning – learning from books, and learning beyond them. On the other side of the equation, let me observe that there is, today, a nascent but disturbing strain of anti-intellectualism in Philippine politics and society. The vulgar _expression of this sentiment has taken the form of the suggestion that we can dispense with brains and education when it comes to our national leadership, because they have done us no good, anyway.
It is easy to see how this perception came about, and how its attractiveness derives from its being at least partially true. Many of our people feel betrayed by their best and brightest – the edukado, as we are called in our barangays – because we are too easily bought out by the powers that be. Marcos and Estrada had probably the best Cabinets in our political history, well-stocked with prestigious PhDs from places like Oxford and Stanford; but in the end, even they could do nothing against their President and his excesses.
For us UP graduates, the seductions of power will always be there. Power and wealth are also very interesting games to play, and few play them better than UP grads – the power side more than the wealth, as I suspect that Ateneans and La Sallites are better at making money than we are.
But even these can put you out of touch. I have friends in Malaca?ang and Makati who seem to have lost all sense of life, thought, and feeling on the street, beyond what their own commissioned surveys tell them. Worse, they seem to have lost touch with their old, honest, self-critical selves. They forgot all about Sophocles and poetry and mystery and music you can’t buy at the record store.
To be a UP student, faculty member, and alumnus is to be burdened but also ennobled by a unique mission – not just the mission of serving the people, which is in itself not unique, and which is also reflected, for example, in the Atenean concept of being a “man for others.” Rather, to my mind, our mission is to lead and to be led by reason – by independent, scientific, and secular reason, rather than by politicians, priests, shamans, bankers, or generals. You are UP because you can think and speak for yourselves, by your own wits and on your own two feet, and you can do so no matter what the rest of the people in the room may be thinking. You are UPbecause no one can tell you to shut up, if you have something sensible and vital to say. You are UP because you dread not the poverty of material comforts but the poverty of the mind. And you are UP because you care about something as abstract and sometimes as treacherous as the idea of “nation”, even if it kills you.
Sometimes, long after UP, we forget these things and become just like everybody else; I certainly have. Even so, I suspect that that forgetfulness is laced with guilt – the guilt of knowing that you were, and could yet become, somebody better. And you cannot even argue that you did not know, because today, I just told you so. | 2019-04-23T10:02:13 | https://emotista.com/2010/05/21/para-sa-mga-taga-up/ |
Are we ready for his coming?
He came the 1st time as a meek and lowly Lamb to pay our sin debt, but when He returns the next time He'll come as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He'll rule with a rod of iron.
What is the real hope of Christmas? Where is the peace on earth? Where is the good will towards men?
What you don’t know about the 2nd coming could be fatal.
When The World Is On Fire!
Peter spoke about three worlds, their connection to the coming of the Lord, and what kind of people we better be if we want to inherit the last world.
Beloved the Lord is already showing us that He is coming. So the question is are you ready for His 2nd Coming?
Today we'll talk for a few minutes about the 2nd coming of Christ. He came the 1st time as a meek and lowly Lamb to pay our sin debt, but when He returns the next time He'll come as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He'll rule with a rod of iron. | 2019-04-20T12:59:58 | https://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/sermons-about-the-2nd-coming |
Some time ago, I had the chance to shoot pro bono for a local fund raising marathon and received their consent to put up some pictures. They are more for raising funds and awareness, instead of competitive running (although there were several people who took their running very seriously). The positioning of the fire hydrant was somewhat unfortunate and I noticed it only on my computer.
Cute shot- the hydrant does make it a bit humorous!
All positive about this fine shot, Ayush.
A fine shot! nice day to you!
You've tuned into the wave of New Year resolutions!
The hydrant IS rather funny! Still, you can't legislate for these things in street photography!
lovely and what a cute, chubby little boy! great capture!
Isn't he a great little fellow, even with the hydrant.
Hhahaha... never really noticed the hydrant until you mentioned. It's a bit like an old joke ..."What is good for water on the brain?" "A tap on the head". Good for you and for the runners raising money for the cause. I'm expecting that either cancer will kill me or my heart; either way, I want it to be quick!
I think it is great and adds interest, if only amusingly, to the image Ayush.
Sweet picture. This toddler is charming. Captured my heart.
A lovely capture with this cute kid Ayush!
All in a good cause too.
It rminds me that I have to get bakc to a workout routine.
Amusingly captured. He looks like he has an apple on his head.
Start 'em young, Ayush...and that may be the best message here?! | 2019-04-20T23:09:42 | https://ayush.shutterchance.com/image/2014/01/07/run-for-hope-photo-stop/ |

I am new to talend. I am trying to build a job which will connect to mapr stream , consume the data and write the data to a hive table.
I am using maprstream input to consume the data which is consuming the data correctly. but when inserting the data into hive using thiveoutput component its not working. I am even not getting any error. Can anybody help here.
Are you Posting to partitioned Hive table (in Append Mode) ? can you please attach the screen shots of the Job and the configurations of the tHive output ?
No I have not selected partitioned option. And save mode is Append. I am using 6.4 Real time big data platform.
The job is a big data streaming job, with one component tMapRStreamInput Input and the other one is tHiveOutput.
I can see the messages are getting consumed using the tMapRStreamInput, but I can't insert them to hive tables.
Note: Cant attach the screenshot because of organisation security policy.
were the Hive tables created upfront before appending the data ? I have this issue when the Hive tables weren't created upfront and tried to append the data to it.
Yes, I have created the hive tables before.The problem is it doesn't give any error as well.
can you able to print the data to the console ? if so, i don't see the reason why it won't get inserted into a Hive table.
By the explanation the only thing that can go wrong is the Hive table schema created upfront should match the parsing schema.
Yes, I am able to print the data in console. The only thing I am wondering i there are any schema mismatch error, then it should show in the console.
do you mean the tHiveOutput component will itself print the data in case its not able to insert the data. Then its not printing form me as well. I was different component to print the data. | 2019-04-22T02:15:09 | https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Spark-Streaming-to-hive/td-p/51931 |
This is the first in a four-part blog series about our annual Summer Intensive program. This week we wanted to give you a run-down on how the program works, as well as why it is so valuable – both to us and the dancers which attend. Please check back each Thursday to see more behind-the-scenes coverage including day-in-the-life features, as well as posts by our artistic directors regarding their processes. We hope you enjoy!
Starting next Monday, our halls will be overrun with nearly 300 ballet dancers who will arrive for the first leg of our nationally-recognized Summer Intensive. Ranging in age from 9-22, these serious ballet students are split into either the Senior or Junior Summer Intensive programs depending on their age.
The Summer Intensive program is the culmination of an annual 30-city audition tour which takes place the winter prior to the program. This year, we are so pleased to welcome students from 36 states and 4 different countries into our home!
Summer Intensive is incredibly important to both ballet students and our company. Whether students stay for three weeks or six, they leave the program having greatly improved their skills and technical abilities. Aside from this obvious benefit, however, the program also allows our own artistic staff to select students for our Ballet Austin II Apprentice and Trainee programs. The three and six-week programs allow us to observe the students’ work ethics and styles, ensuring our ability to select dancers who be a great match with our company.
Over half of the current professional Company dancers have been through BAII – a program where dancers come and live year-round and work in-residence at our studios. Dancers may only stay in BAII for a maximum of two years, after which they may be invited to join our Company, or otherwise will move somewhere else to continue their career development.
Summer Intensive 2011 starts this Monday, and we cannot wait to meet everybody! Check back next week for a day-in-the-life feature of one of the participants!

The Phantom V (variable) as a phantom powered large diaphragm FET microphone was the next logical development step in keeping with our product philosophy. It was developed based on the circuit design of the VM1 and also utilizes its capsule as well. Small differences can mean a lot in a recording environment, whether it is the freedom to choose the most suitable directional characteristic (omnidirectional, cardioid or bi-directional), or to expand the dynamic range by 10 dB in case it becomes louder than expected.
The Phanthera is the impressive proof that a phantom powered non-tube microphone can sound amazingly close to a real tube microphone. With the Phanthera, Brauner expanded its product portfolio to include a reference quality microphone which could stand beside the sound characteristics of the coveted tube models VMA and VMX. The results speak for themselves.
The Phanthera V impresses with the same qualities as its cardioid only counterpart, bringing along a lively and intense sound quality and highlighting the sonic aspects of the source material in a subtle manner. In addition to the cardioid directivity, it also allows to record in omni or bidirectional mode with a simple switch and thus adapting it to different recording situations. Using the omnidirectional characteristics, ambience as well as soloists or even big orchestras are captured true-to-life because the sonic environment is also authentically reproduced.
First class components, excellent dynamics and exceptionally low self noise exemplify Brauner microphones. This of course, holds true for the Valvet, a tube microphone based on the already legendary VM1, which provides a unique, finely balanced character. The objective with the Valvet was to create a tube microphone that would be ideally suited to be used as a spot microphone through small construction and the use of a newly developed microphone suspension.
Have you ever experienced a real great tube microphones breathtaking intimacy? Have you ever noticed its charming detail and inspiring presence? If so, you will know that these attributes come at a price. - Introducing the Valvet X, Brauner releases a dedicated cardioid only microphone which really unites these precious attributes within a microphone unparalleled in its class and pricepoint.
The VM1 was the fulfillment of Dirk Brauner’s dream to build his vision of the perfect sounding tube microphone. A microphone that captures the spirit of the classic vintage tube microphones and at the same time, meets the high technical standards of today’s modern microphones. The VM1 was awarded the SSAIR Award in 1998, marking the beginning of a tradition of excellence in design philosophy, engineering and precision.
Cardiod only version of the VM1.
The VM1S is the stereo version of the VM1. It is currently, without doubt, the most intricate of all Brauner microphones. It unites two identical VM1 microphones, precisely matched to each other, in a single housing. It is a design that answers every wish of a stereo microphone. The VM1S enables control of the directional characteristics of both microphones even though they are in the same housing.
Whereas the VM1 represents the natural sounding part of the VMA (which combines two microphones in one), the VMX offers the full character sound of the VMA in a single microphone and yields highest detailed resolution with a soft and silky top end. Slight accentuation of the low mid and bottom end as well as a soft upper mid range grant this reference quality tube microphone a unique and completely charming sonic character.
Cardiod only version of the VMX.
More realism or rather more character in the reproduction? Normally a question such as this implies a choice between two completely different microphones. This question is no problem for the VMA, it unites these two basic sound characters in one. Through simple switching, you can select between the very natural transparent sound of the VM1 or the markedly full character sound of the VMX, thus you actually have two different Brauner microphones in one single body enabling in essence the sound of a VM1 or a VMX. | 2019-04-19T04:37:10 | http://www.joystick.be/pro/brands/brauner.html |

We cover a lot of articles that feature accessing files and features from inside and outside of your network. This usually entails forwarding ports, something that may seem daunting for beginners, but it’s actually pretty simple to do.
There are plenty of projects we’ve covered that use your computer as a server for other devices. When you’re inside of your network, things are great and they work. When you’re trying to access things from outside of your network, things get significantly hairier, so let’s take a look at why that is.
Altho this Guide Covers some routers this does not cover all due to the amount of routers there are and the large amount of models.
Here’s a map of a simple home network.
As you can see, you’ve got three computers with unique IP addresses all connected to a router. You can easily access the other computers, but when they all access the internet, they go through the router. The router has an IP address that’s relative for you network, but it also has an external IP, one that it uses when interacting with things outside of your network. Whenever these computers make a request towards the internet, they all use the same IP – 127.34.73.214 in our example. Simple requests, such as loading web sites, are automatically handled by the router and are sent to their appropriate places. It’s not too difficult because each computer starts with a unique request, so it’s not hard for the router to figure out where things should go.
Ports help make this process easier. If an IP is like a building’s address, then ports are like the apartment numbers for the residences in the building. Lower numbered ports have specific applications which are standards throughout the computing industry. When you fetch a web page, for example, it uses port 80. The receiving computer’s software knows that port 80 is used for serving http documents, so it listens there and responds accordingly. If you send an http request over a different port – say, 143 – the web server won’t recognize it because it’s not listening there, although something else might be.
Secure shell uses port 22, and VNC is usually done over port 5900. These ports can be changed for different uses, like when you have multiple instances of programs running for different purposes. To avoid interfering with other standard-abiding applications, it’s best to use larger numbers for these alternate configurations. Plex Media Server uses port 32400, for example, and Minecraft servers use 25565 – both numbers that fall into this “fair game” territory.
Now let’s take a look at what happens when a device outside of the network starts a request.
Let’s say you’re out and about and what to access a file on your network. Your computer makes a request to your home network’s IP, 127.34.73.214, which then goes to your router. Your router doesn’t know which computer to send it to.
Thankfully for us, we can configure our router to forward ports. This means that depending on the port number that the request is sent over, the router can pass it along to different IP addresses.
So in this example, when you’re out and about and using your laptop, you use different ports to make your requests. When you access your home network’s IP address using port 22, your router at home knows that this should go to 192.168.1.100 inside the network. Then, the SSH daemon on your Linux installation will respond. At the same time, you can make a request over port 80, which your router will send to the web server at 192.168.1.150. Or, you can try to remotely control your sister’s laptop with VNC, and your router will connect you to it at 192.168.1.200. Pretty clever, right?
You can even tell the router to change ports! For example, let’s say you have two web servers.
When you access your home network via the standard port, 80, you can tell your router to send it to 192.168.1.150. The web server there will be listening at port 80 and will respond accordingly. But, you can tell your router that when you access it via port 10,000, that it should go to another computer, 192.168.1.250, but also at port 80. This way, the second computer doesn’t have to be reconfigured to use a different port, but you can still manage traffic effectively.
EDIT: Corrected the above image (the orange IP address erroneously read 192.168.1.150 originally).
There are a few things you need to be aware of when you decide on setting up port forwarding.
If you’re using DHCP, then each device’s IP has the potential to change in the future, and when it does you’ll need to reconfigure your port forwarding settings. For this reason, it’s best to configure your “server” computers with a static IP. Some routers have the ability to “reserve” or “assign” IPs via DHCP that will NOT change in the future, allowing you the best of both worlds, but not all do.
When you access your network externally, you will need to know your router’s external IP address. This can be easily found from someone inside the network by visitingwhatismyip.com. This address can also change. One way to avoid this is to get a domain name redirect, so that when you go to http://myreallyawesomedoman.com, it’ll be your home network regardless of its changing IP.
Using custom ports may trigger your antivirus or firewall, so you may have to add exceptions on your home computers to allow outside access on whatever ports you specify. This is a security risk to some extent, so be careful and take proper precautions!
That being said, if you’re careful and configure things properly, you’ll never have to worry once you’re all set up.
Each manufacturer has different software that they use on their routers. We took screenshots of the port forwarding settings from each of the major brands as well as our near and dear DD-WRT. We’re assuming that you know how to access your router and you know the proper username and password. If you don’t, check out your documentation, your router’s label, or your manufacturer’s website.
You’ll see port forwarding under Applications and Gaming. Under “Single Port Forwarding,” you can add individual ports to specific IPs. Under “Port Range Forwarding,” you can easily forward whole ranges of ports at a time.
On DLink’s routers, you’ll find your port forwarding settings in the Advanced section, under the Port Forwarding tab.
Netgear’s routers have a side menu. Look under Advanced and click on “Port Forwarding / Port Triggering.” If you use the Smart Wizard, you’ll also get the opportunity to configure port forwarding there.
DD-WRT and similar third-party router firmwares will usually have port forwarding as a tab under the NAT/Quality of Service section. Remember, clicking “Save” in DD-WRT saves your changes but doesn’t apply them immediately, so be sure to hit “Apply Settings,” too.
Regardless of what software is on your router, you’ll be required to enter the same type of information. First, you’ll see a text field where you can type in the name of the application or service. Next, you’ll see which incoming port your router should watch for. Then, you’ll be able to choose which protocol to watch for. A little online research should be able to tell you which one, but if you’re not sure you can choose both. You’ll need to choose which IP address is the destination for this port’s requests. Lastly, you’ll be able to choose which port the request should be targeted to on the destination IP.
Many firmwares will allow you to save many rules but selectively enable them as needed. If yours does it, be sure to check the “Enable” column’s boxes for all the rules you want active.
Now, if you want to check and be sure your router’s port is open and functioning, there are plenty of tools you can use to help you determine this. My favorite, however, is a web-based tool – the You Get Signal Port Forwarding Tester.
All you have to do is enter your port number in the box. Your external IP should be provided already, but if not, just click the “Use Current IP” link, then hit the “Check” button. This will check if your router has the port open and if it’s getting to a place on your network that can handle it.
If everything’s good, you’ll see a green flag icon and a message that says that your port is open. Ultimately, though, you can try to access your forwarded service by using your external IP address. For example, to check to see if your SSH server is properly forwarded, try to connect to it using the IP reported on whatismyip.com and the proper port. | 2019-04-22T02:39:17 | https://www.cliftonsystems.co.uk/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/ |
Various communist and left parties organised joint actions towards to make the strike successful.
Lakhs of workers from banks, insurance, ports, transport, coal, energy and defence participated enthusiastically in the strike. These sectors came to a stand-still during the strike. Teachers and professors from universities and college across India also participated in the strike. Workers and students participated energetically. Workers of health services, forest department, electricity, municipal services also joined the strike. Telecommunication workers from MTNL, BSNL also participated in the strike.
Workers of various government schemes and 3-wheeler, taxi, private bus drivers and operators, and gas agency also struck work.
Crores of working people across the country participated in the strike expressing their anger against the government.
Through this strike the working class expressed their opposition to the anti-worker, anti-peasant, anti-national and anti-people steps taken by the government in the service of the capitalist class.
The working class demanded that the amendments made to the labour laws in the interest of the capitalist class must be reversed and that the government abandon the programme of privatization and liberalization, and stop day light robbery of people to fill the coffers of the capitalists. They also demanded that banking and wholesale trade must be nationalized, poverty should be eliminated and a universal public distribution system should be established.
They reiterated their long pending demands of stopping the contract system, ensuring equal pay for equal work, social security and minimum wage of Rs. 180000, removal of ceiling on bonus and EPF, ensuring registration of trade union within 45 days of application, reversal of the anti-worker amendments in the labour laws, and halting the programme of privatization, etc.
The workers did not get intimidated by the warning and threats issued by central and state governments against participation in the strike. The central and state governments had threatened the workers of strict action in the event of their participation in the strike. Some state governments used black laws like ESMA to arrest the workers who joined the strike.
Thousands and lakhs of workers in metros like Mumbai, Kolkatta, and Chennai and in other cities and villages came on to the streets against the capitalists system and the policies of the central and state government, and blocked the road and rail transport in many places. Demonstrations were organised at numerous place across the country. The workers made human chains, organised rallies, demonstrations and street corner meetings.
The strike was organised at various industrial areas across the states In addition to the industrial workers, landless labourers, anganwadi workers, ASHA and Mid-day meal workers and construction workers participated in the strike. Many peasants organised bands in rural areas in support of this all India strike.
This two day strike clearly demonstrates that the workers and working people are coming to the fore to fight against intensifying attacks by the capitalists. Workers and toilers are defeating the attempts to divide them on the basis of region, language, religion, caste, gender, and are getting more and more united to advance the struggle.
Mazdoor Ekta Lehar salutes working class of India for organising this strike successfully. | 2019-04-19T18:14:23 | http://www.cgpi.org/node/6399 |

Levofloxacin prophylaxis significantly reduces the risk for bacteremia among children receiving intensive chemotherapy for acute leukemia, but not among those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, study data show.
The use of hormonal contraceptives just before and during pregnancy may significantly increase the risk for childhood non-lymphoid leukemia, Danish researchers report.
A significant overall survival benefit with the use of maintenance chemotherapy has been demonstrated by the RMS2005 trial of children who have completed standard treatment for high-risk, nonmetastatic rhabdomyosarcoma.
The addition of nelarabine and an escalating dose of methotrexate to a standard chemotherapy regimen has achieved the best ever survival outcomes for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are at risk for recurrence, researchers say. | 2019-04-21T20:09:35 | https://www.medwirenews.com/44758-themes/7123424 |

Five people were rushed to hospital after a bus collided head on with a car near Yelverton. Three adults and two children were taken to Derriford Hospital after the 35-seater First bus was involved in the accident on Saturday evening.
The number 86 Plymouth to Tavistock bus was on its way back to the city shortly before 5pm when it was in collision with a red Ford Focus on the A386 near Yelverton Golf Course. The road had to be closed for three hours. The bus was one of the standard Barbie Darts used on this service.
Bus company First has reduced fares on its X80 routes between South Brent, Ivybridge and Plymouth. Between Ivybridge and Plymouth, adult returns have gone down from £3.90 to £3.50 and singles from £3.50 to £3.15. Always good news!
Plans to scrap the Milehouse park-and-ride scheme have been dropped from the Central Park area action plan, which will be published this week. The action plan must be verified by the full Plymouth City Council on December 10, and approved by a Government inspector. During the public consultation process in 2006, the council said that the Milehouse park and-ride site could close once a replacement was opened in Saltash. But on Friday, council leader Vivien Pengelly said the park-and-ride would now stay.

Stephanie A. Hughes is a part of a brand new iteration of architects that function past the “nowadays-restrained realm of architecture”, and believes that the main sustainable innovation will ensue on the intersection of alternative fields. In her new publication, Hughes investigates how contexts could be designed to foster human interactions; particularly the interactions wanted in offices equivalent to collaboration, studying, creativity and innovation.
After reflecting at the fragmented country of the area this present day and explaining why she believes that innovation is a need, Stephanie dives into the excellent dynamics of innovation and divulges that the roots of innovation are to be present in interactions. “We can't layout interactions", Stephanie says, “instead we have to layout the contexts for interactions”. And certainly, Stephanie stocks the step-by-step approach that explains how one can create your contexts to foster interactions and stimulate innovation.

I know how daunting it is to scour research databases and libraries looking for good research articles in business or scientific journals from which to write your term paper.
I always consulted the research librarian who seemed to know just what I was looking for. To add to the stress is the increasing prevalence of fraudulent articles. Here are some famous cases of fraud and how to detect fraudulent research.
Very often, researchers and authors publish papers with questionable research techniques so they can boost their careers and make the news. A famous example is South Korean scientist Hwang Woo Suk, who published a paper in the journal Science in 2005 claiming to have created stem cell lines that could lead to genetically tailored therapies. A panel formed by Seoul National University where Hwang worked later discovered that he faked DNA results and nearly all of his data. That condemnation led to speculation on Hwang’s other published work. “The panel said it would now also investigate Dr. Hwang’s other landmark papers, which include another Science article in 2004 on the world’s first cloned human embryos, and an August 2005 paper in the journal Nature on the first cloned dog,” reported by Associated Press in “Faked Research on Stem Cells Is Confirmed by Korean Panel,” December 23, 2005.
Another case is of award-winning Dutch social psychologist, Diederik Stapel, Dean of the School of Social and Behavioural Sciences at Tilburg University in Netherlands. He had published numerous papers showing that wine glasses on a table improves manners, that cluttered environments encourage discrimination, and that people who are meat eaters are more antisocial than vegetarians. However, committees from the former institutions where Stapel worked found fraudulent data in his research.
“The committees identified numerous flaws in Stapel’s research, ranging from poor statistical methods to incorrect and incomplete descriptions of the way a study had been conducted and data had been collected,” wrote Wolfgang Stroebe and Miles Hewstone in “Primed, but Not Suspect,” published in Times Higher Education Supplement, February 28, 2013. Fifty-five papers by Stapel were found that have been fraudulent. Yet even this many puts him behind Japanese anesthesiologist Yoshitaka Fujii, who has published the most bogus papers.
Biologist and journalist John Bohannon, Ph.D. proved how bad science is published and disseminated. He conducted a purposely shoddy experiment in which results showed that subjects who ate chocolate lost weight. He found numerous “scientific” journals willing to publish his study (as long as he paid their fee) without any peer review by other scientists. The most common culprits of this practice are open access publishers. In his article, “Who’s Afraid of Peer Review?,” Bohannon has published a list of disreputable journals that publish virtually anything without peer review.
For more information, check out Questia’s library on Fraud in Science.
Will you read scientific journals more carefully to see if the science is sound?

College study habits: Are students and instructors on the same page?
Lol, this is quit some news. I didn’t think that even the so called experts can fake their data. They are the same people who condemn students for not citing their essay . Its sad.
oh,this is so worrying. I do not want to imagine the harm caused by these professors who cook this data. most people tend to rely on the studies done by professors. the issues of cooked data raises eyebrows on the credibility and the authenticity of the research studies that have been done by many professors. | 2019-04-22T22:08:32 | http://blog.questia.com/2016/01/fraudulent-research-papers-in-scientific-journals/ |
Gucci has joined the long list of fashion brands that have offended black people with its newly released black woollen jumper that looks like the racist blackface used to demean black people in America’s history.
The luxury brand placed on sale the black “balaclava jumper” which covers the lower half of the face featuring a red cut-out around the mouth. It quickly received backlash on social media for the design which was deemed offensive.
This trend of producing controversial items without analyzing its cultural significance to the consumer has been described as a deliberate publicity mechanism by many critics after repetition of the same “offence”.
What was Prada thinking to launch a racist blackface product?
Though the Italian fashion brand has come out to apologize, just like Prada and H&M, scores of popular black people are not having it with some calling for a total boycott of the brand. | 2019-04-25T20:03:56 | https://face2faceafrica.com/article/these-black-celebrities-are-calling-for-a-gucci-boycott-over-racist-blackface-jumper |

Our advanced cleanroom facilities increase the amount of data which can be recovered from damaged media. We perform any data recovery where the media needs to be uncased in our secure cleanroom environment to avoid further contamination and recover the maximum amount of data possible.
A cleanroom environment allows for a damaged drive to be opened without causing further harm and data loss. In order to create a cleanroom environment is a system is devised for routing the air flow on rows of workbenches in an arrangement based on high-quality submicron particulate air filters which trap small particles. These systems use special HEPA filters (high efficiency particulate air filters) to filter out suspended particles only 0.0005 millimeters in diameter. All Ontrack workbenches in our cleanrooms follow ISO 14644-1 class 5 standards.
Your data’s security is our top priority. Ontrack follows strict IT security protocols and is audited every year. Our staff undergoes a background check prior to being hired and our facilities are secured with cameras and secured entryways. Currently we follow SAS70 certification. Click for more information on our security policies.
Keeping up with the constant advancements in technology, in order to perform successful data recoveries, requires a research and development department filled with highly-skilled expert technicians developing new tools and techniques daily. At the last count, our team of approximately 200 R&D engineers had developed over 500 proprietary software and hardware tools for data recovery. With these tools, our clients receive world-class data recovery service which cannot be found elsewhere.
In order to decrease the recovery time, our engineers have the ability to work on multiple drives in various stages of recovery. With our proprietary imaging software, a drive can be imaged from the back to the front or from any point while avoiding the damaged areas on the platters. Our team works on this image of the drive versus the original hard drive when recovering data which ultimately preserves the drive and increases the amount of data recovered from it.
Once an image is created from the failed hard drive, the job is passed to another team to recover the data files from the image held on our secure server. As the data is copied out to new media, the condition of each file is reviewed and a report is generated. This Ontrack® Verifile™ report is sent to you to check whether your most important data is present and is in good standing before you purchase the entire recovery. In the case of RAIDs and SANs, our engineers can image each drive and rebuild the RAID or striping of data to recover the data; this is also true with Hypervisor, where the majority of data loss is caused by human error.
To ensure a fast recovery, we keep one of the largest parts inventory in the industry. Ontrack maintains a worldwide parts database where engineers can search for parts. For example, if the Toronto office has the set of parts for a certain data recovery job, the Eden Prairie cleanroom can have the parts shipped to them overnight. The more parts we have on-hand, the faster the recovery time for our clients.
We offer secure disposal of any media sent to us for recovery. After the recovery process is complete, hard drives and tape media are erased using the Ontrack® Degausser™ before they are sent for recycling. A click lasting less than a second pulses the hard drives or tapes with 18,000 degauss units making it totally unrecoverable.
All other storage media is securely erased using the method that best suits the media type. Upon request, we can provide a certificate of erasure for any media disposed of in our facility. | 2019-04-19T12:14:46 | https://www.ontrack.com/ca/services/data-recovery/in-lab-recovery/ |

+ Ljubljana is not only picturesque, attractive and friendly to congress guests, but the city has congresses written into its genome. Long before the emergence of the meetings industry as we know it today, in 1821 Ljubljana was already hosting the Congress of the Holy Alliance. In line with its conference and accommodation infrastructure today, Ljubljana belongs to the group of capitals suitable for medium-sized and smaller meetings (up to 2,500 participants). It is positioned side by side with the new EU member states and geographically sits in the region of the Western Balkans. Ljubljana is friendly and favourable to the meetings industry whilst at the same time being competitive in terms of price and quality. Among all of the regional capitals it also has a very good image.
+ In the field of congress tourism Bucharest is a city of contrasts: great palaces and the latest congress hotels, but on the other hand a poorly recognized brand and an unrelated congress offer. These are the main disadvantages compared to the much more active cities in the vicinity, such as Belgrade and Sofia. Yet at the moment it is certainly the most affordable major European Congress Capital and with little effort you can find everything you need for any kind of event. Even the friendliness of the staff in the hotel and congress sector is better than average. It appears, though, that the city is missing that little bit more energy required to find itself placed alongside the leading cities, and where it actually arrives depends on its situation and the conditions in place for development of its congress industry. | 2019-04-19T05:16:51 | https://kongres-magazine.eu/2019/03/face2face-ljubljana-vs-bucharest-2019/ |

Florence is rich of typical Florence fast food restaurants and stands where you can eat delicious Florence typical food like lampredotto & trippa panini (cow stomach sandwiches – they’re good – trust us they are things to eat in Florence!) and even excellent ‘Pizza al taglio’ (pizza by the slice).
You can recognize the ‘trippai’ (cow stomach sandwich vendors) by the white/blue color of their small motor-trucks parked in various parts of town where they cook typical food to eat in Florence.
Try the one in Piazza Sant’Ambrogio, on Via Sant’Antonino or on Via Gioberti.
This is the real Florence fast food tradition and not drive-thru restaurants like you might be used to. Don’t be scared! While you’re visiting, you’ll want to try the typical food to eat in Florence!
But if you are a deeply addicted to American Fast food, don’t worry, we’ve even listed the addresses of all the places to eat in Florence where you can get comfort food from home, but don’t waste too much time and money on the food you can get back home. Take advantage of the amazing cuisine that is Italian!
For all of our favorite Pizzerias, go to Florence’s Best Pizzerie!
On one of the busiest streets in the center you will find this popular sandwich shop. Don’t expect to find a place to sit down, but rather a long line to get one of the biggest and best panino’s to-go. Pair it with a little glass of wine and find a place to stand around outside. Choose one of the sandwiches already designed on their menu or simply choose the ingredients yourself. Anything goes!
Only using natural mother yeast, La Divina Pizza, creates the best selection of pizzas to choose from. You can eat there if you like, but there’s not much space, or you can take your pizza home with you. The beauty of La Divina is that you can choose a number of different pieces so that you are able to try more than one, if not, all of the pizzas they offer that day. You can even choose the size that you want and you will be charged based on the weight of each piece. They always have at least some classic style pizzas to choose from, but include also the best combinations of ingredients to create styles you haven’t seen anywhere else.
Around for 140 years and counting! Serving up simplicity in the best way. Choose one of their numbered sandwiches on their menu (my favorite is goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes!) hanging by the door and you will have your sandwich in no time (literally)! Pair it with a glass of wine and you can hang around I Fratellini to enjoy your lunch while people watching.
Open daily from noon to 3:30 pm and from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM. Closed Sundays.
Under the arch between the Piazza G. Salvemini and Via dell’Oriuolo this small Italian-style fast food sandwich shop (near the restaurant of the same name) is perfect for the students who are looking for something other than a pizza or ‘prosciutto and fontina‘ burger. The atmosphere is all around similar to the tiny streets of Naples… Very folkloristic! The average price of a sandwich is about 4 Euro. Expect long lines of Italian and foreign students who are already addicted to the mythical Antico Noé sandwiches.
Open every day from noon to 11:30pm. Closed Mondays.
A restaurant with fast service and low prices. Try a lasagna, pizza or spaghetti at La Ghiotta just once, and you’ll forget the globalized flavors of McDonald’s forever!!! Expect long queues around 1pm and 8pm. Affordable prices and take away available. Unforgettable tiramisù.
Open for lunch 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM, except Saturdays. Open for dinner 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM, all week.
North American ’50 atmosphere. Giant American hamburger and salty fries (around 10 Euro, no limit on toppings). American pints of beer (around 3 Euro). With less than 15 Euro you can live a perfect retrò USA-style night in Florence! If you feel nostalgic, don’t miss this place! | 2019-04-24T23:52:26 | https://www.studentsville.it/fast-food-in-florence/ |
Chicken is a big favorite with our dogs so I decided to devise a chicken-based dog treat for this week’s recipe. The preparation is very easy since you can use leftover chicken and, start to finish, you can complete with treats in less than an hour.
Before you get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease two cookie sheets.
The ingredients list is nice and short. You can use whatever cooked chicken you have on hand: white or dark meat. You can even slow cook the chicken and make the chicken broth all in one step if you like.
Start mixing the ingredients and slowly, slowly add a teaspoon of broth at a time until you have dough the right consistency to knead. (The amount of broth you’ll need to add will vary by the moistness of the chicken.) The dough should be heavy but shouldn’t be too dry (that means you need more broth) or too sticky (that means you need more flour).
It was a great trip but what do I especially remember? Getting to visit local dogs!
If you use a mini-glass, just flip it over and press out the biscuits, giving each a little twist as you press down. Make your impressions then pull up the dough around the biscuits; these are now ready to go on a greased cookie sheet. Take the scraps of dough, reroll, and cut out some more biscuits.
I decided to get fancy with some of the biscuits; I’d recently seen an article in Martha Stewart Living magazine showing how to make a paw print on the top of the biscuits. Just indent your index finger to make the large paw pad then use your pinky finger to make four tiny paw pad indentations above it. It looked so easy when Martha did it…but my biscuits were too small so I was only able to add three paw pads!
Just pop your cookie sheets in the oven for half an hour, bake at 350 degrees, then take them out and allow them to cool completely before refrigerating the treats. Our dogs loved these treats! | 2019-04-26T14:13:38 | https://www.dogtipper.com/recipes/2010/04/chicken-cheese-biscuit-recipe.html |

the type of things that people won't expect to be done in person.
late payments or someone that you work with that is always late.
How do we have these conversations virtually in such a way that they won't get defensive?
okay, I'll do whatever I want.
Because, you can't see their face potentially.
Maybe this is a phone call conversation.
address sensitive issues with a virtual team.
the result is that it will be positive at the end.
Let's go through each one.
Don't address the individual's behavior or the individual's action, address a pattern.
Speak in the third person.
So, the person doesn't feel like they are being isolated. It's one sentence.
recently" versus "why are we so late?"
you know, I know that.
They're going to open up to you right away.
here's the thing that takes it to the next level is, you admit.
You admit your own shortcomings.
You admit the time that you also exhibited that pattern of behavior.
showing up late to things because I have too many things on my mind".
looking at it separately as a pattern of behavior that we are both guilty of.
Which means, I'm much more likely to communicate to you about it.
The third step is, to assess.
we've taken a pattern of behavior and we've put it over here.
you have also done this and we're looking at it.
Now, we assess the situation.
We get their perspective on why this pattern is occurring.
Let them talk as much as they want.
Get their ideas, their reasoning and the last step is, you ask.
We have a pattern of behavior we're both looking at we are both guilty of.
what do you think would be the best way to move forward?
What should we do about it? Ask the person.
come up with a good next step with one caveat.
It has to have an ending.
Well, why don't we try this for the next month and see how it works.
will make it easier for me to say yes.
So, here's what you've done in that last step by asking me.
not working I don't feel locked into a decision.
something else we can try.
change it into an uncomfortable sensitive conversation with a positive outcome. | 2019-04-19T11:09:03 | https://zh-tw.coursera.org/lecture/communication-strategies-virtual-age/be-so-sensitive-OOYGF |

You and I knew Illinois’s political system was broken. But I have to admit it’s even worse than I thought – and that’s saying something because I thought it was pretty bad.
You supported me because I said I was willing to stand up to the status quo and do what’s right to fix Illinois. That’s exactly what I’ve tried to do for the past year and a half, and I’m going to keep on doing it.
I’m standing with the taxpayers, job creators and concerned parents across the state who are sick and tired of the failed status quo.
• Streamlined and modernized government operations, saving taxpayers more than $800 million in annual costs.
• Initiated transformation of the way Medicaid and other health and human services are provided in Illinois, making them more efficient and effective for our most vulnerable families.
• Increased state support for early childhood and K-12 education to record levels.
• Negotiated innovative new contracts with 18 government labor unions, eliminating costly work rules and automatic pay raises while implementing merit pay and bonuses based upon taxpayer saving.
• Defeated AFSCME’s legislative attempt to kick us out of contract negotiations, saving taxpayers $3 billion over the next four years.
• Defeated Madigan’s attempt to pass a $7 billion-deficit budget that would have caused spending to rise beyond even our current court-mandated level.
• Created strong incentives in the stopgap spending plan for the legislature to pass comprehensive pension reform by next January.
Illinoisans understand that we need to repair our broken political system in order to fix what ails our state.
That’s why we’re launching a long-term movement to fix Illinois, starting with term limits. Nearly 80 percent of Illinoisans support term limits for elected officials. It’s time Springfield heard taxpayer voices. FixIllinois.com will be the online home base for this movement.
We have a long road ahead of us, but I’m all in. Will look forward to keeping you updated as our work progresses. | 2019-04-20T16:52:27 | http://willcountynews.com/2016/08/05/rauner-im-standing-with-the-taxpayers-job-creators-and-concerned-parents/ |

What is Market Value of Debt?
The Market Value of Debt refers to the market price investors would be willing to buy a company’s debt at, which differs from the book value on the balance sheet. A company’s debt doesn’t always come in the form of publicly traded bonds, which have a specified market value. Instead, many companies own debt that can be classified as non-traded, such as bank loans.
Because this debt is reported at book value or accounting value in the financial statements, it is the analysts’ responsibility to calculate the market value, which will be of major importance when calculating the company’s total Enterprise ValueEnterprise ValueEnterprise Value, or Firm Value, is the entire value of a firm equal to its equity value, plus net debt, plus any minority interest, used in valuation. It looks at the entire market value rather than just the equity value, so all ownership interests and asset claims from both debt and equity are included..
To estimate the Market Value of Debt, an analyst can think of the Total DebtCost of DebtThe cost of debt is the return that a company provides to its debtholders and creditors. Cost of debt is used in WACC calculations for valuation analysis. Learn the formula and methods to calculate cost of debt for a company based on yield to maturity, tax rates, credit ratings, interest rates, coupons, and on the books as a single coupon bond, with the coupon being equal to the interest expenses on all debt and the maturity as the weighted average maturity of the debt.
Therefore, our calculated MV of Debt is $573,441.15, which can be later used to calculate the Enterprise Value by adding the Cash and Cash Equivalents to our calculated MV of Debt. This value can then be compared with the market cap and used for the calculation of financial ratios to complete the analyst’s toolbox.
The market value of debt and other fixed income securities is influenced by many factors. It’s important to have a solid understanding of what these factors are, and what impact they have on the value of debt, directionally speaking.
When evaluating the market price of debt, it’s important to take all of the above factors into consideration. | 2019-04-23T07:54:30 | https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/finance/market-value-of-debt/ |

Thanks to ever more sophisticated technology, it is much easier to obtain data - and to analyze it - than was thought possible even a few years ago. As a result, there is an understandable feeling that decision-making in organizations today is more scientific and soundly based than was the case in the days when hunches, gut feel and experience guided much activity. However, leaders must not be seduced into thinking that basing decisions on data necessarily makes them beyond reproach.
Indeed, in an article in the Fall 2018 issue of Rotman Management, the magazine of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, Megan MacGarvie and Kristina McElheran argue that "in some instances, data and analytics actually make matters worse." This is because, even with impressively large sets of data and the latest, most effective analytical tools, executives can still fall into various traps, particularly if they take shortcuts in reasoning in an effort to overcome information overload.
In the article, which was previously published in the HBR Guide to Data Analytics Basics for Managers, MacGarvie, associate professor in the markets, public policy and law group at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, and McElheran, assistant professor of strategic management at the Rotman School of Management and a digital fellow at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, point out that it is widely acknowledged by academics in a variety of disciplines that people do not carefully process every piece of information in every decision. Instead, they say, we rely on heuristics, or simplified procedures that help us make decisions when faced with uncertainty or where there is insufficient money or time for extensive analysis. The result is we think we are making sound decisions when in fact we are making systematic mistakes. On top of this, even with access to data, human brains are geared to adopting certain biases that distort choices often without us being aware of them.
MacGarvie and McElheran identify "three main cognitive traps that regularly bias decision-making, even when informed by the best data" and offer suggestions for avoiding them.
The Confirmation Trap. This is what happens when we pay more attention to findings that align with our existing beliefs and ignore other facts and patterns in the data. Confirmation bias can become much harder to avoid when individuals are under pressure from bosses and colleagues to come up with data that supports a pre-existing view of the world, say MacGarvie and McElheran. Their advice for dealing with the issue? Don't avoid information that does not fit with you or your boss's beliefs. Instead, embrace it by such means as specifying in advance the data and analytical approaches that will be used in the decision-making in order to reduce the temptation to "cherry-pick" findings; actively seek out findings that disprove your beliefs; do not automatically dismiss findings that fall below your starting point for statistical or practical significance; assign several independent teams to analyze the data separately and if they do not come to similar conclusions concentrate on the points where they diverge in order to see whether the differences are due to error, inconsistent methods or bias; and treat your findings as if they were predictions and test them.
The Overconfidence Trap. Senior decision-makers are especially prone to this, say MacGarvie and McElheran, for the simple reason that they tend to assume that they have been promoted on the basis of past successes that have themselves been based on making decisions. But overconfidence can also reinforce many other pitfalls of data interpretation. "It can prevent us from questioning our methods, our motivation and the way we communicate our findings to others; and it also makes it easy to under-invest in data analysis in the first place," they write. This can be a particularly difficult problem to crack because, while overconfidence can dissuade us from spending enough time or money on acquiring more information or doing extra analysis, just acquiring more information can make matters worse by adding to the sense of confidence. As MacGarvie and McElheran say, moving from data to insights "requires quality inputs, skill and sound processes." They stress the importance of processes, making several procedural tips for escaping this trap. Among them are describing your ideal experiment and then comparing this with your actual data to see where it might be lacking; making being devil's advocate a formal part of the process; keeping track of predictions and systematically comparing them with what actually happens in order to test their accuracy; and making such processes a part of the decision-making routine in order to avoid persistent biases creeping back in.
The Over-Fitting Trap. This is what happens when a statistical model describes "random noise" rather than the underlying relationship an organization is seeking to capture. As MacGarvie and McElheran put it, "When your model yields surprising or counterintuitive predictions, you may have made an exciting new discovery - or it may be the result of 'over-fitting.'" They quote Nate Silver, the statistician who found fame for predicting the winner of all 50 states in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, as describing this concept as "the most important scientific problem you've never heard of." The problem is that over-fit models look like they do a very good job of explaining the nuances of the past but struggle to predict the future. To overcome this bias, they suggest randomly dividing the data into a training set, on which the model will be estimated, and a validation set, which will be used to test the accuracy of the model's predictions; as with the confirmation trap, avoid cherry picking data; look for relationships that measure important effects related to clear and logical hypotheses before looking at nuances; look to see whether it is possible to construct another story using the same data; and beware the common tendency to see patterns in random data. | 2019-04-21T12:29:47 | https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogertrapp/2018/09/24/how-to-get-better-at-using-data-to-make-decisions/ |

This tool can be used for animation with almost any kind of streams: waterfalls, fountains, springs, smoke and even fire.
Here is an example of waterfall animation performed with this tool.
The tool implements two animation techniques: fluctuation simulating reflection in the running water and color waves simulating the motion of splashes.
The first control tab grants access to the basic properties and the controls of the first type of animation.
Amplitude - controls the fluctuation strength (maximal distortion of picture under effect). Setting the value to 0 turns off this technique.
The second tab controls the splashes simulation.
Waves order - sets the number of layers used for drawing splashes. Zero value turns off this technique.
Waves length - sets the maximal distance of the layers shift.
Base color - sets the splashes color. Only parts of the picture with similar colors will be shifted for splash simulation.
Translucency - sets the layer translucency.
Sensitivity - sets sensitivity of the color filter.
Here are more examples of scenes brought to the life with the stream animation. | 2019-04-20T03:08:01 | http://www.desktoppaints.com/faqpg.php?topic=waterfall |

The Greek poet Sappho is one of the greatest poets in classical literature. Her lyric poetry is among the finest ever written, and although little of her work has survived and little is known about her, she is regarded not just as one of the greatest women poets, but often as the greatest woman poet in world literature. She lived on the island of Lesbos around 600 BC and even in her lifetime, her work was widely known and admired in the Greek world. Plato called her 'the tenth muse', and she was a major influence on other poets, from Horace and Catullus to more recent lyric poets. Yet in later centuries, speculation about her sexuality has tended to diminish her poetic reputation. One medieval pope considered her so subversive that her poems were burnt. Some of her poems were written for the women she loved, but her circle of women friends and admirers was not unlike Socrates' circle of followers. She may have been a lesbian in the modern sense, or she may not, but to call her a lesbian poet is an over-simplification. What remains is her poetry, or the fragments which have survived of it, and her intense, sensuous, highly acoomplished love poems are among the finest in any language. Bloodaxe published Josephine Balmer's translation of her surviving poetry, Poems & Fragments, in 1992, followed in 2018 by a second, expanded edition including fragments discovered in recent years.
Centre for Literary Translation, 2001); Piecing Together the Fragments: Translating Classical Verse, Creating Contemporary Poetry (Oxford University Press, 2013); The Word for Sorrow, for which she was awarded a Wingate Foundation Scholarship (Salt Publishing, 2009 & 2013); Letting Go (Agenda Editions, 2017); and The Paths of Survival (Shearsman Books, 2017), which draws on Aeschylus’s lost tragedy, Myrmidons. She has written widely on poetry and translation for publications such as The Observer, The Independent on Sunday, The Times, The Times Literary Supplement and The New Statesman, and has been reviews editor of Modern Poetry in Translation. Chair of the Translators’ Association from 2002 to 2005, she is a judge of the Stephen Spender Prize for poetry in translation, and editorial advisor to the poetry journal Agenda. She was awarded a PhD by Publication in Literature and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. She sets the daily Word Watch and weekly Literary Quiz for The Times, and lives in Crowborough, East Sussex.

A glance at a thumbnail in an online article was attached to a hand that grasped my subconscious heart; intrigued, as I it were a spiritual connection from my soul to this piece of literature. It wasn’t necessarily the words that were substantial, but rather, the idea and accompanying images which spoke a million words. I saw the combination of two life long hobbies that have created the initial chapters of what would shape the foundation for the subsequent novels that would be titled “my life,” there peering at me from a thumbnail, formulated in a glass vessel.
The heart pondered the ridiculous notion of venturing to another country for a matter of hours, or what could easily be viewed as seconds in eternity, to become acquainted with the creator, although the rational mind rejected it. The duality of existence was at odds with each other once again; satisfaction vs responsibility, wealth vs knowledge, death vs life. My rib cast her vote, similar to Chinese wishing stones, and I lost my mind – we chose life.
Petrified in awe, I uprooted myself deeper into the wilderness of this field. The branches shook as the faint idea of learning from the architect softly wrestled in my mind. Already being acquainted with my name, as if he heard me speaking through our virtual connection, he asked me to sit in his place of work and handed me his book of life – his creations, the things that drew me from there to here.
Upon inquiring trivial questions pertaining to his existence and subsequent work, for the next several hours, I was cast out, returning dredging dark pathways of Osiris’s underworld until I was able to return to my celestial vessel, only to reunite my heart, mind and rib 24 hours later. | 2019-04-19T05:18:29 | https://kingblockdean.com/2017/02/22/the-artisan-hong-kong/ |

Bailey, S., Chaffey, G., Gross, M., MacLeod, B., Merrick, C. & Targett, R.
Canberra, Australia: Department of Education, Science and Training.
Subject acceleration, where students are promoted to a higher Year for one or more of the subjects in which they excel (i.e. display talent, in Gagné’s terms). A graphic example of this was the profoundly gifted Terry Tao, now a successful and well-adjusted young man, who was doing high school math at the age of 7, while still attending his South Australian primary school for other subjects.
Subject acceleration may be sufficient in itself for many gifted students, but it can also be seen as a form of trial for a possible full grade skip.
Grade skipping, where students are promoted to a higher Year for all subjects, e.g. Jordan who was moved from Year 1 at the end of one school year into Year 3 at the beginning of the next, or Cassie who was skipped from Year 6 into Year 8.
If a highly gifted student needs more than one grade skip it is usual for only one grade to be skipped at a time, with a settling in and reassessment period before the second (or third) skip is effected.
Early entry, which usually means that a gifted child who displays academic and social readiness begins school at a younger age than most other children do (eg at age 4 rather than at age 5). This is a form of grade skipping but has the added advantage of being the most unobtrusive/least disruptive form of acceleration.
Telescoping, where a student, or a group of students, completes two years in one, or some similar rapid progression through material.
Radical acceleration, where highly/profoundly gifted students skip several grades, and/or experience several forms of acceleration, during their school years.
Isn’t acceleration hot-housing and therefore stressful?
No. It is important to realize that acceleration does not mean that gifted students are being made to speed up and learn faster than they are already willing to, but rather that schools are allowing students to progress at something closer to their natural or preferred rate of learning.
Holding back gifted students is much more likely to be stressful for them, or harmful in other ways (such as teaching them to ‘coast’ along, which may deny them the opportunity to learn to cope with intellectual challenges).
Acceleration means we have taken off the brakes!
David Elkind, well-known for his book, The hurried child, makes this point when he states: ‘Promotion of intellectually gifted children is simply another way of attempting to match the curriculum to the child’s abilities, not to accelerate those abilities. What promotion does for intellectually gifted children is to make a better fit between the child’s level of development and the curriculum.’ (Elkind, in Smutny, Veenker & Veenker, 1989, p.105.) That is, Elkind acknowledges the legitimacy of acceleration as a strategy for the gifted. A characteristic of gifted students is their ability to ‘reason at a level usually found in a student some years older’, so acceleration is a logical way of addressing this.
The research evidence on the effectiveness of acceleration is very positive. For example, contrary to many people’s expectation, the evidence shows that acceleration does not damage students socially or emotionally.
In fact, grade skipping has been found to aid social relations (as well as academic achievement), while concurrent enrolment has been found to enhance psychological adjustment.
Gifted early entrants to school were found to be on average six months ahead in their achievement, compared to their age peers, while there were also slight gains in social skills and self-esteem.
Studies of single-subject acceleration have found that it produced academic gains of about three-fifths of a year’s growth. Telescoping was found to have similarly large positive effects.
For concurrent enrolment the academic gains were small but positive.
But doesn’t it cause social adjustment problems?
A testimonial from the large-scale Richardson study supports this positive conclusion: ‘Our files are full of stories about youngsters, named or unnamed, happily studying two, three, even four years ahead of their age-mates. In general, the social adjustment of these precocious youngsters is improved by placing them with their intellectual peers rather than their age-mates’ (Daniel, 1989, pp. 50-51).
While the research evidence shows that acceleration usually has positive consequences for gifted students, it is not a ‘magic bullet’ that cures all academic and social problems.
Acceleration alone may not be enough to eliminate a student’s existing social difficulties (in the words of one student: ‘Acceleration didn’t make me a social misfit. I was one already!’), so social skills may need to be addressed separately.
Also, a single grade skip is unlikely to be sufficient to satisfy the academic needs of a highly-to profoundly gifted student.
There are documented cases where acceleration did not produce the positive outcomes usually found, but in most of these a large part of the failure may be attributed to the inappropriate ways in which the acceleration process was managed.
Hence: acceleration needs to be seen as an ongoing process, not just a placement decision, so one that requires careful planning and implementation.
Fortunately, very practical guidance is available to enable teachers to increase the likelihood of success.
Well established guidelines exist to help teachers decide whether acceleration may be an appropriate way to meet the needs of any gifted student and, if so, how best to implement it.
Note that these are guidelines, not imperatives. That is, they need not all be fully satisfied before you accelerate a student. For example, if a ‘trained psychologist’ (#1) is not readily accessible, as in some rural or isolated communities or where the cost is prohibitive, acceleration should still be considered, using the other evidence available.
Every decision about whether and how to accelerate a particular student should be able to be justified by referring to the evidence upon which it is based. Hence, judgments about both academic and social-emotional readiness must involve the collection of hard evidence, from a variety of sources, not just the interpretation of a single class teacher, or member of the school executive, however well intentioned. This is also why the second point made in guideline #3 is very important.
It is not necessary for every gifted student to be psychometrically tested. However, in the case of students who are being considered for accelerated progression, there should be a comprehensive psychological assessment of their intellectual functioning, academic skill levels and social-emotional adjustment by a trained psychologist.
Academically, the student should demonstrate skill levels above the average of the class they desire to enter.
Socially and emotionally, the student should be free of any serious adjustment problems. Principals should be aware, however, that in some gifted students social or emotional difficulties may have been caused by inappropriately low grade placement. In such cases the situation may be alleviated by accelerated progression.
It is important that the student should not feel unduly pressured by parents/guardians. The student themselves should be eager to move ahead.
The receiving teacher must have positive attitudes towards the grade advancement and must be willing to help the student adjust to the new situation.
Judgments about the student’s social and emotional maturity should include input from the student’s parents/carers and the psychologist. Gifted students are sometimes rejected by their classmates. It is important that teachers do not confuse the absence of close peer relationships with social immaturity.
Ideally, grade advancement should occur at natural transition points, such as the beginning of the school year. However, mid-year advancement may sometimes be desirable where the student’s prior teacher and receiving teacher may more easily confer about how best to help the student make a smooth transition.
All cases of accelerated progression should be arranged on a trial basis of at least six weeks. The student should be aware that if the trial period is not a success, they will return to the original grade placement. It is important that in such a circumstance the student should not be made to feel that they have 'failed’.
Care should be exercised not to build up excessive expectations from grade advancement. A small minority of gifted students are so far advanced in their intellectual or academic development that one year of accelerated progression may still leave them bored at school. For such students further advancement may be advisable at a later period in their schooling.
Decisions regarding accelerated progression should be based on facts rather than myths. The research literature on acceleration reveals that accelerated progression benefits the gifted student both academically and socially. Conversely, failure to advance a highly gifted student may result in poor study habits, apathy, lack of motivation and maladjustment.
