Als Arbeitsvorgang (auch Arbeitsgang) bezeichnet man in der Arbeitsanalyse und -synthese die Verrichtung oder Ablauffolge, die ein Aufgabenträger zur Aufgabenerfüllung an einem Arbeitsobjekt vollzieht.

Allgemeines
In Wirtschaftseinheiten (Unternehmen, Staaten mit ihren Untergliederungen wie der öffentlichen Verwaltung) bestehen die einer Stelle zugewiesenen Arbeitsaufgaben meist aus einer Vielzahl von einzelnen Ablaufabschnitten (Arbeitsschritte; ), die erst in ihrer Gesamtheit durch einen letzten komplettierenden Arbeitsschritt als erfüllt anzusehen sind. Viele dieser Ablaufabschnitte sind funktional, physikalisch oder technisch voneinander abhängig, so dass beim Arbeitsablauf eine bestimmte Reihenfolge (Ablauffolge) einzuhalten ist. Dazu setzen Arbeitskräfte meist Arbeitsmittel ein, um aufgrund der vorgegebenen Arbeitsaufgabe ein Arbeitsergebnis zu erzielen. Die REFA setzt zudem voraus, dass beim Arbeitsvorgang eine Mengeneinheit eines Auftrages (Arbeitsvolumen) erzeugt wird. Bei komplexeren Arbeitsabläufen lohnt sich die Erstellung von Arbeitsablaufplanungen mit Organigrammen.

Ein Arbeitsablauf wird dazu durch Arbeitsplanung unter Berücksichtigung technischer oder organisatorischer Gegebenheiten in Ablaufabschnitte unterteilt und in einem Arbeitsplan dokumentiert.
 Technische Gegebenheiten sind Maschinenausstattung, Qualifikation der Arbeitskräfte und Losgröße (Menge).
 Organisatorische Gegebenheiten können unterschiedliche Fertigungsstandorte, Zwischenlagerung von Halbfertigprodukten oder Arbeitsgänge sein, die außerhalb des Unternehmens abgearbeitet werden müssen.
Aufgaben, die unterschiedliche Maschinen oder Ressourcen benötigen, werden in arbeitsplatzbezogene Arbeitsvorgänge aufgeteilt, die in der Regel nacheinander durchlaufen werden müssen.

Das Bundesarbeitsgericht (BAG) versteht unter einem Arbeitsvorgang eine "unter Hinzurechnung der Zusammenhangstätigkeiten und bei Berücksichtigung einer sinnvollen, vernünftigen Verwaltungsübung nach tatsächlichen Gesichtspunkten abgrenzbare und rechtlich selbständig zu bewertende Arbeitseinheit der zu einem bestimmten Arbeitsergebnis führenden Tätigkeit eines Angestellten".

Arten
Man unterscheidet
 auftragsorientierte Arbeitsgänge: gehören zu einem Auftrag, der durch Menge und Termin bestimmt ist; entsprechend sind nach einer Termin- und Kapazitätsplanung Start- und Endtermin des Arbeitsganges und auch der zeitlich bestimmte Bedarf an Ressourcen für den konkreten Auftrag bekannt.
 Standardarbeitsgänge: sind ein bestimmter Arbeitsschritt, der mit einem konkreten technischen Verfahren ausgeführt wird, ohne Bezug zu einem Gesamtablauf oder Arbeitsplan und auftragsneutral ist.
 auftragsneutrale Arbeitsgänge: sind ebenfalls ohne Bezug zu einem Auftrag, ohne Start- und Endtermin und deshalb ohne terminierten Kapazitätsbedarf. Sie gehören wie die Stücklisten zu den Stamm- oder Grunddaten der Produktionsplanung.
Die auftragsorientierten Arbeitsgänge sind die einzigen, mit einem Kundenauftrag zusammenhängenden Arbeitsvorgänge.

Analyse der Arbeitsvorgänge
Zur Beschreibung eines Arbeitsvorganges gehören:
 die Identifikation der Tätigkeit,
 eine textliche Beschreibung der durchzuführenden Arbeit,
 der benötigte Arbeitsplatz oder die benötigte Gruppe gleichartiger Arbeitsplätze und mögliche Ausweicharbeitsplätze,
 zusätzlich benötigte Arbeitsmittel wie Zeichnungen, NC-Programme, Lehren, Werkzeuge und Vorrichtungen und
 die Zeiten für die Durchführung der Arbeit wie Rüstzeit, Bearbeitungszeit sowie Warte- und Transportzeiten.
Diese Kriterien werden als Sollvorgaben in einem Ablaufplan berücksichtigt und können zudem teilweise Bestandteil einer Stellenbeschreibung sein.

Abgrenzung der Arbeitsvorgänge
Für die Arbeitsplanung spielen Beginn und Ende eines einheitlichen Arbeitsvorgangs eine große Rolle. Deshalb gibt es Abgrenzungskriterien, durch die Arbeitsvorgänge voneinander unterschieden werden können. Ein neuer Arbeitsvorgang liegt dann vor, wenn
 der Bearbeiter wechselt,
 das Arbeitsobjekt wechselt,
 das Arbeitsobjekt in mehrere Objekte zerlegt wird oder mehrere Arbeitsobjekte zu einem einzigen vereinigt werden,
 das Arbeitsmittel wechselt oder
 ein bestimmter Zustand des Arbeitsobjekts erreicht wird (z. B. ein Blatt ist vollgeschrieben).
Wechselnde Bearbeiter, Arbeitsobjekte oder Arbeitsmittel können somit die Ursache für einen neuen Arbeitsvorgang darstellen.

Produktionsprozess
Im Produktionsprozess greifen verschiedene Arbeitsvorgänge unter Berücksichtigung der vorgegebenen Ablauffolge ineinander über. Die Ablauforganisation sorgt mit Ablaufplänen dafür, dass die verschiedenen, am Ablaufplan beteiligten Stellen eine nahtlos funktionierende Produktionskette bilden. Die Arbeitsplanung muss den Arbeitsablauf unter Berücksichtigung technischer oder organisatorischer Gegebenheiten in Ablaufabschnitte unterteilen und im Arbeitsplan dokumentieren. In der Produktion unterscheidet man Fertigungsarbeitsgänge (beispielsweise Drehen, Härten, Schleifen) und Montagearbeitsgänge (Vormontage, Baugruppenmontage, Endmontage).

Wird der geplante Arbeitsvorgang unerwartet unterbrochen oder gestört, liegt eine Betriebsstörung vor. Eine geeignete Ablaufplanung sorgt für reibungslose Arbeitsabläufe und beseitigt vorhandene Schwachstellen durch Schwachstellenanalysen.

For some years now, Dr. Jeff Quilter has argued that it is inappropriate and misguided to use concepts such as "the state" and "government" in discussing the Moche of the North Coast of Peru. Indeed, he suggests that this is the case for many archaeological cultures that are modern creations, not prehistoric realities. In this talk, Quilter will explore these themes further and attempt to suggest how we might better interpret the phenomenon known today as "Moche." For, after all, there is an apparent artistic and cultural integrity to Moche that ultimately is linked to what we think of as "politics." The challenge for us is to find the best way to understand these linkages and concepts and language that will allow us to best express those understandings. Examples of how we might approach these issues will be provided through discussion of research on the North Coast of Peru with special attention to the El Brujo Archaeological complex, San José de Moro and the Huacas de Moche, among others.


Barça will visit the Estadi Ciutat de València (Sunday 8.45pm CEST), in the match corresponding to the 37th day of La Liga. It's the penultimate game in the challenge of ending the League season unbeaten. Levante, who have already secured their top flight status, are one of the Blaugrana's favourite opponents given that Barça haven't lost against them in the last 22 official matches.
The game can be watched live on BeIN Sports LaLiga in Spain, as well as many other television channels around the world that are detailed below. In addition, the official Club website and Barça's different social media accounts will offer minute by minute coverage.

Csa	 Hot-summer Mediterranean climate
Csal Subtropical climate with dry summer with hot summer with mild winter
Traditional Koppen classification: Csa (Hot-summer Mediterranean climate)
s – precipitation in the driest month during the summer half year is less than 30 mm and less than one third of the precipitation in the month with highest precipitation in the winter half year.
a - temperature of the warmest month is higher than 22 °C
Cs climate type is characterized by a dry summer and wet winter. In the case of the Csa subtype, the summer tends to be very warm. The average temperature of the warmest month is above 22 °C. The wettest month in the winter usually has three times as much precipitation than the driest month in the summer, which usually has less than 30 mm of rainfall. Summers are therefore quite dry, with relatively little cloudiness and often longer periods with no rain at all. Winters on the other hand are wet and very rarely it snows as well.
Temperatures in the summer reach very high values between 30 and 40 °C. In the winter it is very unusual for the temperatures to fall below freezing point.
The continental Mediterranean climate (Csa) is sometimes also referred to as hot Mediterranean climate. The higher temperatures are the result of the fact that the places are usually deeper inland. The Csa subtype is more common than the other Cs climates and usually represents what most people imagine under the term "Mediterranean climate".
It can be found for example around the Mediterranean sea in Europe, in Southwest Australia, Southwestern part of South Africa, some parts in Central Asia and in Northern California. Other places also include some microregions such as the Spanish capital Madrid, Italian Rome, American Los Angeles or Perth in Australia.
Modern Trewartha classification: Csal (Subtropical climate with dry summer with hot summer with mild winter)
Subtropical in the Koppen and Trewartha classification is defined as a region, where at least eight months has an average temperature of more than 10 °C, but the coldest month has an average temperature of less than 18 °C. The individual subtypes then differ in their annual precipitation distribution. In Trewartha classification there is a condition of maximum annual precipitation of 900 mm.
In general the subtropical climate is usually found in areas polewards from the tropical zones. It can also be found inside tropical zones at places with higher altitude. Typical are for example citrus trees or palm trees.
The Cs subtype in the Trewartha classification represents a subtropical climate with dry summer, sometimes referred to as the Mediterranean climate. It is characterized by hot and dry summers and mild winters, during which most of the precipitation is observed. High pressure is the dominating factor in the summer, when precipitation is very small and if there is some, it is usually in the form of very short, but intense thunderstorms. In the winter it can sometimes snow, especially at higher altitudes, but in general the winters are mild.
This climate type is most common in western coasts of continents in the middle latitudes, for example it includes areas on the West coast of the U.S. such as California, Southern Europe or Southwest tip of Australia.

Addressing the federal workers who are going without pay while Trump holds them hostage in order to get funding for his wall, Waters added, "We are going to do everything we can to support you and get this government open and this president must be impeached".
The proposal would also extend temporary protections for some young people brought to the US illegally as children and immigrants who fled disaster zones. A Senate victory for Trump, however, could force new negotiations over his border wall plan and over reopening the government, where 800,000 federal workers, furloughed or forced to work without being paid, are set to miss their second paycheck next Friday.
Below, President Trump's full announcement on the government shutdown and the southern border. "He kind of is playing the role of wingman right now [but] I think Chuck is a pro and I think he understands roles ebb and flow".
US President Donald Trump makes an announcement on the budget, the government shutdown, immigration and the border. The offer would also give a three-year extension to 300,000 people from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan who are living in the US under the temporary protected status program.
The Dreamers are now protected from deportation under a programme that allows them to work but not get citizenship. He pointed to her theatrics around the State of the Union address and asserted that he would deliver the address regardless of her calls for it to be delayed - even if that means he delivers a written letter.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer also dug in during an appearance in NY, where he predicted Democrats would block the president's proposal from passing the Senate. On this occasion, he sought to strike a diplomatic tone, emphasizing trust and the need to work across the aisle.
Senate Republican leadership fail to get enough votes to pass House bill. Another $805 million would be used for "technology, canines, and personnel to help stop the flow of illegal drugs, weapons and other contraband", Trump says, while another $782 million would hire an additional 2,750 border agents, law enforcement officers, and staff.
But all of this is on the condition that he receives $5.7 billion for a border wall - the central point of contention between Democrats and Republicans in the fight to re-open the government.
Trump voters may not be happy with Sunday's suggestion that amnesty is technically on the table, given the hard line on immigration Trump took during his 2016 Presidential campaign.
Donald Trump struck a deal to reopen the government and build his much-promised wall - with one small problem.
Trump had considered a larger immigration deal in the past.
But Clyburn again insisted Trump reopen the government first, and Trump gave no sign he would agree to do so, even for a few weeks, to give negotiators a chance to cut a deal.

Behind The Scenes With Hebro
https://gosimcha.jewishpodcasts.org/episode-player/288/behind-the-scenes-with-hebro.mp3?u=1610849160
Sitting Down With Hebro
In episode 46 Zeesha sits down with singer, songwriter, rapper and producer Raphael " Hebro" Fulcher to learn his story.
Meet Hebro
The youngest of six children born in Crown Heights Brooklyn to African-American Orthodox Jewish parents who converted to Judaism in the early 70's under the guidance of Rabbi J.J. Hecht, the then-assistant to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Hebro hails from a family of spiritual vocalists.
Though born in Brooklyn, the singer, songwriter, rapper and producer spent his formative years in North Carolina, St. Louis and Israel. As an ardent fan and student of music since a very young age, Hebro, who's full name is 'Raphael Ohr Chaim Fulcher', has cultivated a deep appreciation for the colossal power music holds to make positive change in the world. His music is his mission to do just that.
His craft touches a wide range of musical genres including Hip Hop, Reggae, Motown, EDM, and R&B. Conscious, meaningful lyrics combine with deep rhythm's and soulful melodies to create uplifting and inspirational music designed to spread unity, truth, and progress to the farthest reaches of the globe.
Having stretched his musical wings on stage with Matisyahu, Nissim Black, Moshav Band, Lipa Schmeltzer, Zusha and others, Fulcher decided three years ago that it was time to share his God given gifts with the world in a debut EP titled Genesis.
It is an album that is inspired by Tehillim, by King David's work. "When I imagine Daveed Hamelech performing during his life, I imagine that his music had rhythm and spirit.
Put on a Hip-Hop instrumental and read Psalms. It will blow your mind. I personally believe he was the greatest rapper of all time. No disrespect at all but I don't think it sounded much like the typical 'Jewish' music we hear today in the orthodox world". I want to bring his poetry back to life."
Hebro writes music that sheds light on being fearful of what we don't control or understand and the responsibility we share to overcome it. "
There is a message there in Cain's conversation with Hashem, when he says he doesn't know where his brother is. If we focused on the other person, if we were conscious of one another, and were tolerant of each other, we would be able to bring about the ultimate redemption.Having been the only African-American student in the yeshivos he attended since first grade wasn't always easy, admitted Fulcher, but it was an experience that prepared him for his future.
"It was often challenging for myself and for my peers," said Fulcher. "It was a reality that none of them had ever dealt with before and it was new for them. Still, growing up as an African-American Jew in a white Orthodox Jewish world gave me the experience to understand the potential of breaking down the barriers of fear and difference while creating an opportunity for growth. B'nei Yisrael come in all shapes and colors and sizes and the sooner we can all handle that the sooner we will all be b'simcha."

Q: Switch-on-strings Java7 - архив переписки JSR 334 Здравствуйте. Может ли мне кто-нибудь объяснить небольшой момент в переписки, касательно критики и предложений данного нововведедения switch-on-strings в 7 пакете Жабы, в 334 coin project 334 JSR ?
процитирую:
Now that we plan to have closures, do we still need strings-in-switch?
Won't a string-to-function map be about as fast (though maybe less
convenient)? I don't know what the use cases are for
strings-in-switch, but the feature already felt a bit low-benefit to
me, and seems even more so now with closures.

ссылка на источник
Что такое понятие closures, и почему в случае его реализации, задается вопрос, существует ли необходимость в данной опции-свичире ?
Какая между ними связь, объясните для непонимающего.
И так же на счет вопроса не будет ли string-to-function map не менее быстрым.
Может кто небольшое введение сделать для понимания данного коммента ?
Буду благодарен.

A: Думаю, имели в виду следующее: если у нас есть переменная String str, то вместо
switch (str) {
    case "one":
        System.out.println(1);
        break;
    case "two":
        System.out.println(2);
        break;
    default:
        System.out.println("?");
}

предлагали писать что-то вроде такого (closures - это замыкания, а в случае java - лямбды, хоть они и не полноценные замыкания):
Map<String, Runnable> switchMap = new HashMap<>();
switchMap.put("one", () -> System.out.println(1));
switchMap.put("two", () -> System.out.println(2));
switchMap.getOrDefault(str, () -> System.out.println("?")).run();

A: Могу ошибаться, но мне кажется, здесь речь идет о замыканиях, т.е. лямбдах.
Пример, где switch может быть заменен лямбда-функцией.
public static String caseOnString(String str) {
    switch (str) {
        case "hello":
            return "world";
        case "bye":
            return "country";
        default:
            return "";
    }
}

public static String mapOnString(String str) {
    Function<String, String> map = s -> {
        if (s.equals("hello"))
            return "world";
        if (s.equals("bye"))
            return "country";
        return "";
    };

    return map.apply(str);
}

Physical modeling results on electromagnetic response of rock mass to low-energy impacts in the Tashtagol iron ore deposit are presented. It is found that multiple low-energy series of impacts initially increase the amplitudes of electromagnetic signals which later on decrease to the same level. This circumstance is indicative of the fact that the slowly varying levels of electromagnetic signals recorded after large-scale blasts are governed by displacements of rocks on various slip planes. The changes in the stress–strain state of rocks proceed slowly taking from units to tens of hours.

GOOSEHEAD INSURANCE SIGNS LEASE EXPANSION AND EXTENSION AT HEADQUARTERS BUILDING IN NORTH TEXAS
Dallas, TX | June 15, 2020
Dallas, TX — June 15, 2020 — CBRE announces that Goosehead Insurance, a rapidly growing and innovative independent personal lines agency, is extending and expanding the lease for their corporate headquarters at The Terraces at Solana in Westlake, Texas. Goosehead added 42,308 square feet to their existing lease for a total of 150,454 square feet of space at 1500 Solana Blvd.
Goosehead moved to their location at The Terraces at Solana in 2017, initially leasing 62,000 square feet of space. In 2018, Goosehead extended and expanded their lease to 108,146 square feet to accommodate their growing workforce. As the company has continued to grow at a fast rate, they once again proactively extended their lease to ensure their space can be optimized for their dynamic and growing workforce.
The additional square footage allows them to configure their space to provide employees with upgraded amenities and gives the company ample room for growth as they continue to hire in Dallas-Fort Worth. Goosehead will occupy the entirety of Building 4 along with the full fifth floor in Building 1 at The Terraces at Solana.
"CBRE has been a valued partner in helping to create a functional and efficient physical work environment that meets the needs of our rapidly expanding employee base and unique corporate culture," stated Mark E. Jones, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goosehead. "The recent expansion of our corporate headquarters and the extension of our lease agreement provides us the certainty and flexibility to support continued strong growth."
Founded in 2003, Goosehead completed its initial public offering in early 2018 and has grown to over 1,000 operating and contracted franchise locations across the country and represents over 100 insurance companies.
In addition to expanding their corporate headquarters, they have opened or expanded several corporate office locations across the country. Some of their recent expansions in the past year include new locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, Houston, Texas, and Henderson, Nevada, and locally in DFW with a 12,348 square foot lease at Cypress Waters in Coppell and 8,724 square feet in Fort Worth.
"We are always thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with an incredible company like Goosehead," said Josh White, Executive Vice President with CBRE. "The fact that they are expanding during the current economic environment is a testament to the way they operate their business. The Goosehead leadership team deserves a lot of credit for creating a truly differentiating corporate culture through dynamic recruitment, technology and genuine care for their employees."
Mr. White, Chelby Sanders and Ryan Buchanan with CBRE in Dallas represented Goosehead and Jeff Eckert and Blake Shipley with JLL represented the landlord, Glenstar.
Matt Omundson, a Glenstar Principal said, "Glenstar is thrilled that Goosehead has chosen to make The Terraces at Solana their long-term home. We cannot wait to welcome them to our new 50,000-square-foot amenities building and expansive outdoor work/play spaces currently under construction and set to deliver in Q1 2021. Their presence continues to be an important part of what makes The Terraces a vibrant place to work both indoors and out."

The Mercedes-Benz CLA class has been one of the best-looking Mercedes-Benz around and new design updates make it even much better.
Mercedes-Benz has launched the eleven vehicles this year and is on their way to launch the 12th vehicle in the form of the new 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA, which will be going to launches in India on November 30, 2016.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA class has been one of the best-looking Mercedes-Benz around and new design updates make it even much better. The major changes include a restyled front end with larger air vents, the diamond radiator grille, and all-LED headlamps. The side profile stays largely the same with the new wheel design.
The rear-end has been restyled as well with a new bumper and the tail lamp design.
The update really starts to shine through when it comes to the interiors, as the car gets a new 8-inch infotainment system with Apple Car Play.
Talking about automobiles the new 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA is powered by a 1991 cc petrol engine that delivers around the 180 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, whereas its diesel engine offering the 2143 cc turbocharged mill that delivers around 130 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. In Mercedes CLA class the transmission that comes mated to these engines is a 7-speed automatic unit.
What remains to be seen is whether the car gets any twists to itself upon entering the Indian market in a few days from now. Watch this space for more updates.

By Peter N. Boos
Barbados has not escaped the negative impacts of the worst global economic recession in living memory.
The lag effects are likely to create very difficult conditions for us at least until 2011 at the earliest.
The parlous state of Public Finances also makes the situation more complicated.
In its September 2009 report on Barbados, the IMF stated as follows:
"Barbados has strong public and private institutions and benefits from high political and social stability. The country has some of the highest social and competitiveness indicators in the region and enjoys investment-grade rating on its sovereign bonds. Its low crime level, well-educated work force, reliable infrastructure, and attractive natural setting have helped make it a leading destination for high-end tourism and a prime location for offshore financial services."
They however go on to say:
"Barbados is facing a severe economic recession. Output is contracting, as the global financial crisis has depressed tourism, brought FDI to a sudden stop, and weakened public
finances. Consequently, unemployment has risen to double-digit level, and international reserves have declined. While the underlying balance of payments is expected to remain weak, international reserves are expected to increase marginally in 2009, on account of the
SDR allocations and the large government bond issue abroad."
On 13 November 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised it outlook on Barbados from 'stable' to 'negative'.
"The outlook revision on Barbados to negative is due to our view that
the timeliness and magnitude of the government's fiscal consolidation,
necessary to preserve Barbados' credit fundamentals at the current 'BBB' level, is uncertain because of a worse-than-anticipated economic recession in the country."
They also state :
"Results for the first three quarters of 2009 underscore a rapid deterioration in Barbados' public finances, at a faster rate than we had previously assumed, and a sharper economic contraction. We have revised Barbados' real GDP estimate to negative 4.8% in 2009 (from our previous estimate of negative 2.5%), with a further decline of 1% expected in 2010, before a return to growth in 2011."
The Central Bank of Barbados has responded as follows:
"Central Bank welcomes Standard and Poor's affirmation of investment grade of the country's external debt. We are of course aware that the outlook has worsened. We said so in our most recent report on the economy, at the end of last month. Some adjustments in fiscal stance will be required, in order to maintain the stability of the economy. As the S and P report notes, Barbados boasts strong institutional and social arrangements, political stability and a well-funded NIS, and there is every reason to expect that government will take the necessary measures to protect Barbados' external credit-worthiness.
The Bank also noted that other leading economic indicators either have remained strong or have improved.
Between January and September 2009, the current account deficit has improved to an estimated 4.3% of GDP, compared to 13.3% for the corresponding period the previous year.
In respect of the Net International Reserves (NIR), it is estimated that by year-end, the import reserve cover will be 20.7 weeks of imports of goods and services; 12 weeks of import cover is the accepted international norm."
The better news is we do have sound well capitalized Banks and a financial sector that has emerged unscathed from the global financial meltdown.
As a small open economy Barbados depends primarily for prosperity and growth on inflows of foreign exchange from foreign direct investments, visitors (leisure or business), the exports of other goods and services and remittances from Barbadians living abroad.
The global recession has taken its toll on all of these sources of income.
There are signs that the global recession may be ending and recovery is on its way, lead by Asia. Lets hope so.
Many believe however that unemployment, currently at around 10% in our traditional markets-USA,UK and Canada-will remain high for several years. The so-called jobless recovery.
Additionally people have been hurt so badly-lost savings, homes, jobs etc.-that many are changing their consumption patterns. People are saving more and spending less on travel, luxury goods etc. Whilst this is a positive development in the longer term, in the short term it will negatively impacts the Barbados economy, as fewer will travel here and those that do are demanding better value for money-'more for less'.
This reality will put stress on our tourism businesses.
Bank finance has also tightened considerably so borrowing for second homes overseas will be more difficult.
UK elections in 2010 will most like mean the new Government having to raise taxes and cut expenditure-not good news for us in the short term.
The strength of the Canadian dollar and its economy give us cause for some optimism in that market.
Unemployment in Barbados is estimated to be around 10% and will most likely increase in response to Government's belt tightening and shrinking profit margins of businesses.
Government has announced plans to balance its budget by 2012 (current deficit estimated at about 8% of GDP) and to reduce the debt to GDP ratio from the current estimated 115% to 70 % by about 2018.
Measures recommended by the IMF include:
(Potential savings in percent of GDP)
Continue to moderate wages to bring down the central government wage bill to about 10 percent of GDP over five years (1 percent);
Reverse the large expansion of expenditure in goods and services (2 – 2¼ percent);
Prioritize and reduce capital outlays across the public sector (½-1percent);
Streamline the operations of stateowned enterprises, and adjust prices for utilities and other public services (2½-3percent);
Improve tax administration and broaden the tax base (½ percent);
Raise the VAT rate by 1 – 2 percentage points (¾-1½ percent); and
Sell government assets.
It seems likely that some of these recommendations must be implemented very soon.
A focus on growth strategies is essential.
This is not a tax and defend (the status quo) moment.
Clearly the poor in society must be protected in the transition phase.
Notwithstanding the challenges and perhaps because of them, Barbados is poised to make critical strategic decisions that will ensure future competitiveness, economic growth and prosperity.
The priorities must include:
The creation of a new competitive Public Service that can become a key 'value proposition' for the country. This must be done and is a top priority.
Transforming the roles of Workers Unions-they must become true enablers of the investment environment thus attracting investment and creating economic growth and better, more sustainable jobs. Any labour practices that make us less competitive must be identified and eliminated.
Encourage the shift of employment from the Public to the Private Sector . Advocate self-sufficiency by supporting and enabling Entrepreneurship at every level. We must develop an Entrepreneurial Culture and become the 'Entrepreneurs Paradise in the Caribbean'. We can fast track this opportunity by inviting strategic entrepreneurs to relocate their businesses to Barbados to partner with us in industries where we have strong global growth potential.
Focus on earning of foreign exchange through engaging in global trade in indigenous exports of goods and services-education, arts & culture, professional services, multi-media, health & wellness, sports, ICTs, construction services etc. The list is endless.
Grow more food.
Become a self-sustaining Green Economy.
With its abundance of talent and wise heads in leadership positions in Barbados this opportunity must be grasped. It will be fatal if we don't 'grab the bull by the horns'. Team Barbados.
Leadership and agility will be needed.
Barbados is poised to move to a higher more competitive and sustainable state. The alternative is not worth contemplating.

Master entrepreneur, original hip-hop mogul, and New York Times bestselling author Russell Simmons shares the most fundamental key to success—meditation—and guides readers to use stillness as a powerful tool to access their potential.
In the New York Times bestseller Super Rich, Russell Simmons proved that to be rich is more than just having money in the bank—wealth is about balance, joy, and conscientious living.
In Success Through Stillness, Simmons shows the connection between inner peace and outward success through interviews with other successful leaders in various industries, and how learning to be still has been instrumental in his own career. Simmons attributes his meditation practice with changing his life for the better and says that there is no "bad" way to meditate, only different forms for different people.
In this highly anticipated new book, Russell Simmons guides readers into finding greater clarity and focus, and explains how to be healthier in both mind and body. Simmons breaks down what he's learned from masters of meditation into a guide that is accessible to those unfamiliar with the practice.

Guest of Honour, Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, launching the permanent logo of the WCEC together with representatives of the Founder Members Board during Opening Ceremony of the 11th WCEC on October 5 2011.
From left: Teo Siong Seng, President of SCCCI; Guest of Honour PM Lee Hsien Loong; Jonathan Choi, Chairman of The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong; and Suthee Meanchainun, President of the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
The design concept of the logo is based on a globe, and paints a vision of Chinese Entrepreneurs from various parts of the world who get together with a common sense of unity and purpose. The logo visibly encompasses the acronym of WCEC – "World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention".
The globe in the design signifies "World". The external C represents "Chinese" all over the world. The "E" in the middle stands for "Entrepreneurs" while the small "C" at the centre stands for "Convention". The opening in the "E" shows how Chinese entrepreneurs from all over the world are drawn together to network and share experiences at the convention to achieve its intended purposes.
A vibrant and deep red, an auspicious colour in traditional Chinese customs, is used as the main colour for the logo.


Do you have an imminent requirement to contract with Oracle, whether it is a support renewal due, ULA certification, compliance requirement or a new purchase? The next couple of months present you with an opportunity to get your Oracle house in order and secure the best value from a contract, if it's negotiated well.
What are the top five points to consider?
Terms and conditions in a contract are just as important, if not more so, than the discount. These terms remain in place and govern your contract long after the discount has become a mere memory.
If you're negotiating with Oracle for 31 May, have the official contract prepared with plenty of time for substantial review. You don't want to commit to the sales PowerPoint, and then be rushed into signing without reviewing the terms and conditions. The presentation will not match the contract.
If you're migrating to new order forms, ensure you have arranged to carry forward any favourable terms from older contracts.
Have your legal and commercial team (preferably with expertise in Oracle licensing complexities) on standby to avoid last minute hurdles.
Whether you're buying new products or adding on products to existing entitlements, do you understand what is included, either as restricted, read-only or full-use programmes/products with your purchase, and does it meet your requirements?
How do you manage future growth, whether organic or through merger or acquisition?
What if products you have procured change functionality? Do you have a migration strategy term?
Have you included all users and entities that require access to the licences?
Investigate the best pricing and usage model for the product(s) you're purchasing.
4. Point Four – what about your support options?
Annual support increases can be negotiated.
Support periods can be aligned across various renewal contracts.
Support contracts can be combined to make annual renewals easier.
Could third party support be an option?
Are there opportunities for cost reduction?
Consider contractual options for credit towards other services, for example cloud solutions.
Are you familiar with Oracle's technical support policies and your options as to how they apply to the products you're purchasing?
Do you have all your contracts?
Do you know what the products, users, metrics, versions, etc, are that you're using?
Do you know how to ask for, or obtain copies of your contracts?
Do you know what is deployed and where across your organisation?
Do you know whether you're correctly licensed across your various environments and projects?
How do you manage your software asset management and the changes that occur regularly with each download or user addition within ICT, procurement or other areas?
If you're certifying an Oracle ULA, what is your process for this? Are you doing it yourselves in-house, or with a third party, and if so, are they an Oracle reseller?
Palisade Compliance APAC helps many organisations in Australia, New Zealand, and across the Asia-Pacific region navigate through the complexities of negotiating with Oracle. It's our business, and we can assist you to get your Oracle house in order.
Get in touch with us today to discuss what you need.

Introducing a brand new series, I wanted to put together a round up of recent posts for all things cruelty-free and vegan. I'm hoping to make it a monthly thing, so if you write a cruelty-free blog yourself then do send me your posts if you'd like the chance to be featured.
There's been a lot happening in the cruelty-free community this year and although some brands have sold to testing parent companies or even begun testing on animals themselves, mostly events have been encouraging - such as Australia introducing a ban on cosmetics animal testing. So I wanted to begin a series to keep up with cruelty-free news, as well as share interesting posts about veganism and maybe some cruelty-free beauty too.
Household brand Method revealed that they are now testing on daphnia. The brand along with parent company Ecover (who also test on daphnia), retain their Leaping Bunny certification. Unfortunately Leaping Bunny do not consider daphnia, invertebrates, to be animals so this doesn't look set to change. If you're looking for cruelty-free alternatives for cleaning and household products I'd recommend Astonish and Co-op.
It Cosmetics sold to L'oreal, but have stated they will remain cruelty-free. If you're confused about what this means, you can read more in my post Animal Testing & Parent Companies. Whether you decide to buy from these brands or not is completely up to you.
In good news, China are considering using alternatives to animal testing. Currently Chinese law requires that all cosmetics be tested on animals, so this could be a huge step forward for animal rights. Hundreds of cosmetic companies like L'oreal, Benefit and MAC would no longer be required to test on animals to sell to the Chinese market, so hopefully it goes ahead!
Why you should never rely on a company's website (or social media) to tell you if they test on animals.
I will always support the message of Adopt Don't Shop and absolutely agree that there's no such thing as a dangerous dog.
Mica has been continuing to raise awareness for the plight of orcas in captivity, and recently collaborated with Lush to hold a Blackfish event at their Oxford Street store. They hosted a Q&A with former Seaworld trainer Jeffrey Ventre.
Farplace Animal Rescue are holding the first Welsh Vegan Festival in Cardiff on September 25th.
Adding to Cardiff's many vegan options is recently opened juice bar The Moos who serve lots of vegan snacks and a very delicious chai latte. It's really exciting to see the vegan community in Wales grow!
If you're planning a day trip, check out Sarah's discoveries of vegan eats in Cambridge and Brighton.
I love vegan 'What I Eat In A Day' posts as they always give me new ideas for quick and easy meals to make.
And if you fancy going on a sunny holiday before Autumn arrives, take your pick of Vegan Friendly Mediterranean Destinations.


Jaipur, Feb 20 (IANS) A Pakistani prisoner in the Jaipur central jail was allegedly murdered by group of fellow prisoners on Wednesday after an argument over a TV programme, officials said.
The incident comes in wake of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama left 40 Central Reserve Police Force troopers dead.
Inspector General, Jails, Rupinder Singh identified the prisoner as Shakarullah, alias Mohammad Haneef, 45, who was undergoing imprisonment after being convicted for spying.
According to Additional Commissioner of Police Lakshman Gaur, Shakarullah was killed after an argument over a TV programme with other prisoners turned violent.
Speaking to media, Additional Chief Secretary, Home, Rajeev Swaroop also attributed the cause of the prisoner's death to an argument. "At 1.20 p.m., nine prisoners were watching TV when they had a quarrel over a programme. As the tension escalated, Shakarulla was stoned to death," he said.
The other prisoners at the spot were identified as Ajeet, Manoj, Kulvendra, Bhajan Meena, Haaji Khan, Mahesh, Nandlal and Mallaki.
A case has been registered and investigations are on, Swaroop said, adding that there has never been any case of fighting among the 66 prisoners lodged in the same ward.
He said that Shakarulla was undergoing life imprisonment under being convicted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and had been imprisoned there since 2010.
Meanwhile, security for other Pakistani prisoners is being enhanced, a police official said.


This example uses a addon plugin called uicolor. I have downloaded this plugin, but dont know how to add in ZK Maven project and using it.
When i run the program, this line " config.extraPlugins = 'uicolor';" gives me the problem.
After looking in the ckeditor forum, i came know that, that is a plugin and should be available in plugin folder.
I just had a look on the ckez.jar, that was missing. But zk-CKEditor-bin-3.6.4.0, it was there.
So i downloaded the plugin and unzipped the jar and add the uicolor plugin.
Even though, the same problem.
My ZK Version also ZK 6.5.2 maven setup. Actually, i tried to use the editor component, but at the run time, it shows component definition not found. Then only i came to know it is not part of ZK 6.5.2 CE, instead we need to download separately (as jar file) and add to the project. But i search for the maven dependency, but it is not there. So i download the jar file and added to the lib folder of the project.
Then it started working, but the following lies gives the problrm config.extraPlugins = 'uicolor';"
So i removed that line and it started working. And also, i found that the icons are not colored as per demo example.
We have this dependency for Editor..
Sorry for this Post i thik its a ZK CE and ZK EE issue we are using ZK EE for our application thats the main reason we are not getting any issue for this. and its working fine for Us.

Introducing HTTP/2 – The Faster Way To Surf Internet
Good news for Internet folks! Get ready as the complete web you know is about to revolutionize. The latest and long-awaited version of HTTP took a major step toward becoming a reality on Wednesday – It is been officially finalized and approved. HTTP/2, a new version of the protocol that lets computers download information from the internet, has been formally approved and could speed up the web for everyone. It is based on a protocol made by Google, called SPDY and pronounced "speedy", which has already been speeding up the internet for numerous users without them knowing it.
SPDY and HTTP/2 both support browsing move faster by streamlining the way that browsers make requests to servers, allowing them to ask for a number of things at once. SPDY is already incorporated into Firefox , Chrome and Internet Explorer. Giant websites including Google itself, along with Facebook and Twitter, use the protocol to speed up connections on well-suited browsers.
HTTP/2 will fetch the technologies that allow the protocol to work to one and all, over time.
It will also introduce safer ways of browsing. While the group behind the protocol said that it couldn't build encryption into the protocol, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have already said that in order to use it, websites will have to ensure that their sites are properly encrypted anyhow.
HTTP was introduced in the 1990s as a way of allowing browsers to request information from the servers that host websites. It has been gradually improved since then, but HTTP/2 introduces possibly the major changes since it was first introduced.
The adoption speed will determine when you can enjoy the benefits of HTTP/2. Hosting services, search giants such as Google and websites will need to implement HTTP/2 and will do so at different times. The big news is Google have announced their intention to utilize it in Chrome in 2016 – anticipate several others to follow their footprints.

6 travel-friendly features coming to Apple's newest iPhone software
Zach Griff
Zach Griff is a senior reporter at TPG. He writes travel and product reviews, deep dives into loyalty programs, news about the airline industry and more.
Every June, Apple unveils its latest software improvements for its devices.
Monday, June 7 marked the beginning of the company's Worldwide Developers Conference, and Apple's virtual keynote included details of what's coming to iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches this fall.
While there's a slew of features included in the new iOS 15 that'll soon power your iPhone, six of them are significant enough to get travelers particularly excited. Let's take a look.
Get the latest travel news by signing up for TPG's free daily newsletter.
A digital ID for TSA checkpoints
Gone are the days of fumbling through your bag to find your ID while waiting in the airport security line.
Beginning in late 2021, you'll be able to scan your state ID card or driver's license using the built-in iPhone camera, and it'll instantly be verified and stored securely in your iPhone's wallet.
(Screenshot courtesy of Apple)
The feature will debut with a handful of yet undisclosed states, but the technology paves the way for a more seamless airport security screening experience.
During the keynote event, Apple teased that the TSA is working to accept a digitized version of your ID. Once it launches, all you'll need to do is authenticate your digital ID card using a quick face scan or fingerprint and present a mobile boarding pass to the TSA officer at security.
Apple promises to expand this technology to retailers and venues in the future.
Hotel keys in Wallet
A digital ID isn't the only travel-friendly feature coming to your iPhone wallet.
Apple is also building hotel room key support directly into the Wallet app. If you're staying at an eligible hotel or resort, you'll be able to bypass both the reception desk and the hotel mobile app to get your room key. Simply opt in for a digital key through Apple Wallet.
On your day of arrival, your iPhone will automatically check you into the hotel and create a digital room key in the wallet. All you'll need to do is authenticate your phone, and you'll be in your room within seconds.
At launch, Apple is partnering with World of Hyatt to deploy this new feature at more than 1,000 properties worldwide.
Of course, some elite members might still want to stop at the front desk to inquire about upgrades and benefits, but for most users, this will make the hotel check-in experience faster and more efficient.
Digital keys will also make their way to garage doors, homes and corporate security badges when iOS 15 launches later this fall.
Revamped Apple Maps for easier navigation
The revamped Apple Maps in iOS 15 will make it much easier to get around when you're on the go, especially in some of the world's largest cities.
The redesigned Maps experience includes much more detail around roads, trees, buildings and more. During the keynote, Apple panned and zoomed into landmarks in San Francisco to show off the level of detail.
Zooming into buildings and structures such as the Golden Gate Bridge brings up a realistic 3D rendering for easier navigation. Additionally, Maps now builds in an elevation profile directly into the map itself, making it easier to get a sense of an area's elevation and topography.
When using Apple Maps for navigation, you'll soon see more detailed turn-by-turn instructions, including street-level perspective on complicated interchanges to improve your odds of making the correct turn or getting into the right lane.
If you're traveling to a new city and using public transit, you'll appreciate that Apple's adding augmented reality walking instructions to its maps. That means you can pan your iPhone camera around nearby buildings, and a large arrow will overlay on top of the live view, pointing you in the right direction.
By the end of 2021, the new Apple Maps city experience will be available in London, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Live Text helps you quickly get key info
Say you're on the go and take a picture of a business card or a sign hanging at your favorite store.
Previously, those pictures were static — if you wanted to jot down the email or phone number in the photo, you'd need to first find the shot, trigger your short-term memory and quickly go back and forth between the photos and mail or phone apps to manually copy and paste the text.
With Apple's "Live Text" feature, all that useful information is now automatically scanned by the software and presented to you as actionable items.
So, that business card you snapped? Tap the email and you'll instantly be brought into a new mail message with a pre-filled "to" field. What about that sign hanging at your favorite store? Quickly tap on the phone number in the picture to give them a ring.
Built-in system-wide translation
Whether it's quarantine restrictions or testing requirements, international travel during the pandemic is challenging. Add in a foreign language, and some might not even want to venture outside the country.
Though Apple's not solving the former, the company is making it much easier to work with a foreign language directly on your phone, iPad or Mac.
With system-wide translation, any text you highlight can quickly be translated at the touch of a button. You'll no longer need to copy and paste the text into a dedicated translation app to find the info you need.
This feature also works when taking pictures of words or phrases written in a foreign language. Simply highlight the text and you'll be presented with an option for translation without leaving the photos app.
Notifications to match your mood or travel style
When I'm on the road for work, I only want to receive notifications from select apps — Slack, Outlook or an airline's mobile app to name a few.
I prefer to catch up on the rest once I'm at the hotel or in the airport lounge.
With the latest iPhone software, you'll soon be able to customize your notification preferences to what you're doing. "Focus," as Apple calls it, allows you to select what you want to focus on. If it's work, then you can choose to exclusively receive work-related notifications.
When I upgrade my iPhone later this Fall, I'll create a "flying" theme that'll allow notifications from my top travel and work apps. I'll also switch on Do Not Disturb mode, which will automatically display my "busy" status to anyone who attempts to send me a message.
Apple's forthcoming software update promises to give users a number of new travel-friendly features that are sure to make hitting the road easier than ever.
With two major wallet updates, you'll be able to add hotel room keys and state identification to your device, allowing you to bypass the check-in desk and streamlining the airport security experience.
Apple's latest Maps update improves the navigation experience, whether you're driving or exploring a new city on foot.
Plus, if you're traveling internationally, the new Live Text and system-wide translation features make it easier than ever to understand and communicate in a foreign language.
Ultimately, Apple's newest iPhone software has the potential to make all of us better, savvier travelers. Here's to hoping that borders are open and travel is back to pre-pandemic levels when iOS 15 is released this fall.

Does someone know where is RMII Interface muxed?

"RMII is a reduced version of the Media Independent Interface (MII). The reduction refers in RMII to the number of transmission lines and the number of pins that is 8 instead of 16th In order to guarantee the data rates of 10 Mbit / s and 100 Mbit / s, as RMII MII works with the SDR-process in which an edge of the clock signal are used for data transmission. However, the clock rate of 25 MHz must be increased to 50 MHz."

or ask for the place of #define Code or do you ask, what with RMII is mean?
Sorry - i have read, you want to know what RMII is..
but think, there is no header just in time availabel, same to BTLE, i think.
please correct me the think is mistake, but i have not search the RMII mux just in time and my thinking was going because BTLE would be later timer availabel.
GPI only direction is Input ?
GPO only direction is Output ?
GPIO direction is In and Output ?

Great Balls: What a Bot-Written Song Can Tell Us About Bias in Algorithmic Solutions
Posted by inck on May 27, 2020 May 27, 2020
So I've been thinking about algorithms a lot recently. Let's talk about what they can tell us about our own biases and what we need to do with that information. With cameos from Garfield, AC/DC, and Harry Potter.
You may be aware, but predictive text had a bit of a moment in late 2017/early 2018. It largely stemmed from this absolute masterpiece of a predictive-text Harry Potter chapter that had the perfect blend of absurdity and coherence. I could talk for a while about the way this captured the public imagination, but I'll just dump my favorite Botnik creation here and move on.
Botnik, interestingly, was not truly automated predictive text; part of its coherence came from the user being able to control what amounted to a predictive text keyboard. This allowed people to avoid the truly incomprehensible stretches that you still see in other bot-created text. And of course, many of the imitators that are out there, while still uproariously funny, are actually human-created and don't use any machine inputs at all.
But there is still plenty of truly predictive text out there, and it's getting better. Markov chains are one method of creating text that can be just coherent enough to provide entertainment value. They're not new, and the term actually refers to the statistical process used to create the text, so they actually have much broader use.
Still, Markov chains have been in use for meme purposes for years. During the height of the Garfield-meme era, and in the shadow of things like Garfield Minus Garfield and Lasagna Cat, one of my favorites was Garkov, created in 2008.
This brings us to the algorithm I want to discuss. A Youtuber is using Markov chains to write songs in the style of various bands. The first entry in this was a Nickelback parody, Nobody Died Every Single Day. I don't really know anything about Nickelback other than relevant and important memes. But Nobody Died Every Single Day is basically fine, as these kinds of projects go.
The next entry, though, was an AC/DC project that produced some fascinating results. I was truly not ready for it.
I think it's important to note at this stage that I have no reason to doubt that the writing process for these is highly reliant on the Markov chain that the artist built. They are at the higher end of coherence for predictive text projects, but this explanation in the Nickelback description seems to indicate that the algorithm is doing a good bit of work.
Anyway, on to AC/DC. The song is called Great Balls. And, well…not only is it mostly coherent, it's coherently transphobic.
You may think I'm exaggerating here, but here's the end of Verse 1 along with the chorus:
You fool around, you women,
With too many pills, yeah
She got
Great balls
And big balls
Too many women with the balls
Seems like a bone given' the balls
A whole lotta woman 'cause I'm a ball
The obvious parallels here are to AC/DC's songs She's Got Balls and Big Balls. The former is more directly relevant, but its lyrics are simply about an assertive woman (with some trans women on the internet claiming the song as their own affirmation). The latter is more direct, but even it is a double entendre for a high-class party. And perhaps it's the limits of the algorithm that any nuance and cleverness present in the original songs is completely bulldozed here. But I think there's more going on here.
I've been turning this over in my head for over two weeks now. What do we even do with this? There are three takeaways that I can come up with, although I'm sure smarter people than me can make more sense of this.
First: If we assume that this is largely algorithm-reliant, I think it shows just how our language both draws from and also reinforces the biases that we have. This isn't a revelation of any secret transphobia, but it's illustrative of the fact that common language wasn't more inclusive.
And this matters because I think the extent of trans visibility in mainstream culture was through tongue-in-cheek songs like this, if not worse, until quite recently. Ace Ventura literally came out during Althea Garrison's tenure as the first trans state legislator in the United States. Garrison, who served on the Boston City Council in 2019, has become more conservative over the years and campaigned in 2019 as an open Trump supporter. But in the 25 intervening years, we've done some work on making the language we use more inclusive.
There is still work to do. And that work does matter.
Second: I think this is a clear illustration that even objective algorithms are going to have biased outputs if the inputs are biased.
And third: Those inputs do not need to be intentionally biased to create a problematic output.
Together, these two implicate a lot of recent and current policymaking. Take the First Step Act, which was passed as a collection of really good tweaks to federal criminal law (although fundamental reforms would have been better). The act actually started as a Republican proposal to make determinations about the release risk of various inmates through algorithms.
Democrats didn't sign on in large numbers until the bill included some desperately needed sentencing reforms. But the algorithm, which was named the PATTERN tool, survived.
PATTERN is used to for sentence reductions, for prison assignments, and more. The process of calculating a PATTERN score was discussed in an NIJ report, and, well, it's concerning. The tool uses a bunch of different personal factors for each inmate, many of which correlate with socioeconomic status and race. After accounting for all of those factors, the tool places every inmate in one of four risk level categories. And lo and behold, the PATTERN scores show a stunning racial disparity.
This is the baseline we're currently using for things like eligibility for COVID-19 compassionate release.
Calls for reforming PATTERN have followed. But I wonder if removing bias is even possible when the fundamental question of recidivism, "did you crime again," is really "did police find out you crimed again." Biased enforcement seems almost impossible to control for.
I listened to a talk recently about the gap between explainable AI and ethical AI. Understanding that seems particularly relevant here, even in this simple and otherwise innocuous musical setting. As the First Step Act shows, we don't have to imagine what the problems are when lives might be affected.
I'm still interested in future songs from this Markov chain project. And, admittedly, Great Balls is unreasonably catchy. But it's a reminder that most supposedly "objective" mechanisms serve to perpetuate, rather than remove, bias.
Our understanding, and our oversight, needs to be crafted accordingly.

Radagast the Brown is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. A wizard and associate of Gandalf, he appears briefly in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales.

His role in Tolkien's writings is so slight that it has been described as a plot device, though scholars have noted his contribution to the evident paganism in Middle-earth. He played a more significant role in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film series, where he was portrayed by Sylvester McCoy. Some aspects of his characterisation were invented for the films, but the core elements of his character - namely communing with animals, skill with herbs, and shamanistic ability to change his shape and colours - are all described in Tolkien's works. He is also a character in role-playing video games based on Tolkien's writings.

Appearances

Unfinished Tales explains that Radagast, like the other Wizards, came from Valinor around the year 1000 of the Third Age of Middle-earth and was one of the angelic Maiar. His original name is said to have been Aiwendil, meaning bird-friend in Tolkien's invented language of Quenya. Yavanna, one of the god-like Valar, forced Radagast's fellow wizard Saruman to accept him as a companion, which, Tolkien says, may have been one of the reasons Saruman was contemptuous of him, to the point of scornfully calling him "simple" and "a fool". However, he was an ally and confidant of Gandalf, who describes him in The Hobbit as his "cousin". He was also friends with the skin-changer Beorn, something that Gandalf relied upon to get his party of Dwarves and a Hobbit accepted by a sceptical Beorn.

Radagast lived at Rhosgobel on the western eaves of Mirkwood, its name deriving from Sindarin rhosc gobel meaning "brown village". Radagast had a strong affinity for—and relationship with—wild animals.  It is said he spoke the many tongues of birds, and was a "master of shapes and changes of hue". Radagast is also described by Gandalf as "never a traveller, unless driven by great need", "a worthy Wizard", and "honest".

In The Fellowship of the Ring, during the Council of Elrond, Gandalf tells of a previous encounter with Radagast. Radagast was unwittingly used by Saruman to lure Gandalf to his tower of Orthanc, where Gandalf was captured. Fortuitously, Radagast also helped rescue him by sending Gwaihir the eagle to Orthanc with news of the movements of Sauron's forces. When Gwaihir saw that Gandalf was imprisoned on the top of the tower he carried him off to safety. The only other reference to Radagast in The Lord of the Rings is after the Council of Elrond when scouts are sent out. It is reported that Radagast is not at his home at Rhosgobel.

The Silmarillion briefly summarizes the same events in Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, stating that Radagast was "the friend of all birds and beasts", and noting that he innocently helped Saruman to assemble "a great host of spies" including many birds.

Etymology and origins
The in-fiction etymology, according to the essay "The Istari" in Unfinished Tales, is that the name Radagast means "tender of beasts" in Adûnaic, another of Tolkien's fictional languages. However, Christopher Tolkien says that his father intended to change this derivation and bring Radagast in line with the other wizard-names, Gandalf and Saruman, by associating it with the old language of the Men of the Vales of Anduin. No alternative meaning is provided with this new association; indeed, Tolkien stated that the name was "not now clearly interpretable". His title The Brown is simply a reference to his earth-brown robes; each of the wizards had a cloak of a different colour.

The name Radagast is found in Edward Gibbon's 1776–1789 Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, in the form "Radagaisus", the name of a Gothic king. Slavic mythology contains a god named Radegast; this has been interpreted as "welcome guest", making him the god of hospitality. Tolkien's wizard may represent an echo of this Slavic tradition, a rare source among all the diverse influences on Tolkien's writings.

Tolkien wrote that Josef Madlener's "Der Berggeist", which shows a man in a hat seated in a forest, communing with a wild deer, inspired his Gandalf and set him thinking about the wizards Gandalf, Saruman, and Radagast.

Interpretations

Radagast appears so briefly that he has been described as a plot device for Saruman's treachery, rather than a genuine character. From the clues given, that he is a "master of shapes and a changer of hues", his friendship and communication with animals, and his skill in herbs, he resembles a shaman. He has been described as "one of the most interesting enigmas in Tolkien's writings"; given the treason of Saruman, he and Gandalf are the only two wizards available to counter Sauron, but Radagast fails to answer Elrond's call.

In a letter, Tolkien wrote that Radagast gave up his mission as a Wizard by becoming too obsessed with animals and plants. He added that he did not believe that Radagast's failure was as great as Saruman's. However, Christopher Tolkien notes that Radagast might not have failed completely, as he was specifically chosen by the Vala Yavanna for a mission to protect the plants and animals.

The Tolkien scholar Patrick Curry writes that the Slavic Radegast is the pagan patron of the Czech Beskyd mountains, depicted with a bird atop his horned helmet. In his view, this suggests that Tolkien's Radagast is one of many examples of paganism in Middle-earth.

Adaptations

In film

In Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Radagast is played by Sylvester McCoy, and is expanded far beyond his brief role in the book. McCoy stated that he saw Radagast as "very otherworldly with, as Tolkien depicts him, an empathy and kinship with nature, a Middle-earth version of St Francis of Assisi". McCoy added that while Radagast was rather absent-minded, he comes out as "a bumbling hero". As for his house, McCoy said that the idea was that the tree decided to grow right through it, and Radagast agreed that he and the tree could live together. In the film, Radagast is the first wizard to visit Dol Guldur after he realizes that an evil power has infected the wood in which he lives. He discovers that a Necromancer (who turns out to be Sauron) has taken residence in the ruined fortress. In Dol Guldur he encounters the spirit of the Witch-king of Angmar, as well as the shadow of the Necromancer himself, and escapes with the Morgul blade taken from the Witch-king. Radagast's means of transportation is a sled pulled by enormous rabbits, a concept entirely original to the movie. Radagast meets Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins, and the Dwarves en route to Erebor, and tells them of his discovery in Dol Guldur. When Thorin's Company are attacked by Orcs riding Wargs, Radagast mounts his sled and provides a distraction. Later, Saruman makes contemptuous remarks about Radagast during a meeting with Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel. The writer Brian Sibley comments that the fact that Tolkien said little about Radagast gave Jackson's screenwriters freedom to make of the character what they liked. The Economist wrote that Radagast the Brown had been created from Tolkien's "sparse and bare" hints as to his character. The sled chase was filmed in the Strath Taieri glacial valley of New Zealand's South Island, strewn with real boulders.

In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Radagast appears with Gandalf in a few scenes. The two wizards investigate an empty tomb, determining that the Nazgûl are once again awake and have been summoned. Gandalf bids Radagast to go and tell Galadriel of all they find, and that the White Council must make a pre-emptive move on Dol Guldur. Inside the ruins, Gandalf confronts the Necromancer and finds that he is indeed Sauron, just as Radagast had thought.

In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Radagast arrives in Dol Guldur as the White Council battle Sauron and the Nazgûl, and carries the wounded Gandalf on his sled.

In games

Radagast features in computer and video games such as those from Games Workshop. He plays an expanded role in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game The Lord of the Rings Online, which makes him a leader in a part of Middle-earth, allowing players to interact with him.

Improved 'glass cockpit' version of the Su-27, with canard foreplanes, more powerful radar, more powerful engines, and possibly thrust-vectoring nozzles, and an electronics upgrade. The Su-35 has a completely new FCS from that on the Su-27. As well as canards, it has a new, square-topped tailfin (with internal fuel tanks). It also has a new N-011 radar with a range of up to 400 km (or 200 km against ground targets) which can simultaneously track more than 15 targets, engaging six. The new EO complex gives compatibility with advanced "smart" weapons. An advanced datalink allows coordinated group operation and the tailcone houses the antenna for a rear-facing radar which will allow "over-the-shoulder" missile shots. The Su-35 will be compatible with the new 400-km Novator KS-172 AAM-L missile. Flight testing in now reportedly complete and production has been funded. The Su-35 looks a lot like the Su-33. Consideration is being given to retrofit Su-35s with thrust vector control as seen in the Su-37.

Hollywood meets Europe. On August 10, 2018 the Grammy winner Al Walser from Los Angeles comes to Europe to start his annual network party "Rebel & Caviar Night" in Zurich. It is the summer highlight of the Swiss scene. Stars from the music and acting scene will be there, the aristocracy, the cultural scene, producers, VIPs, athletes and hot stars from business and politics. Zurich is upside down. The party takes place in the hottest hotel in town, the Hotel Atlantis.
In 2012 Al Walser was nominated for the world's biggest and most coveted music award as an artist, producer and mixer for the first time. Dressed up as an astronaut, he appeared on the red carpet, which guaranteed him full media attention. The American press even called him the Robin Hood of the music scene. Then in 2017 the time has come. He wins the Grammy for his album production of Ted Nash (Presidential Suite).
If you ask today what Al Walser regards as one of the most important foundations of his success, he answers: "to be as independent as possible". Of course, networking is also important. Meet, exchange, make contacts, cultivate contacts. "Over 80 percent of business deals come about through networking. This must be used." Today, he regularly meets A-list political stars and show business veterans in the USA.
Based on his incredible networking talent, he initiated the now legendary annual gala "The Soirée" in Hollywood, which takes place one day before the Grammys each February. Every year, the insiders of the music industry give themselves the honour of being on the red carpet. In 2017 Al Walser presented the "Living Legend Award" to the team of Elvis Presley for the first time and in 2018 he awarded the First Lady of R&B/POP, Dionne Warwick. His second networking party takes place half a year later in Europe, the "Rebel & Caviar Night".
The "Rebel & Caviar Night" is a tribute to his childhood. He honors his roots, his homeland. He says: "You can take me away from Liechtenstein but not the Liechtenstein man out of me." By the way, the word Rebel from "Rebel & Caviar" shows his connection with his homeland. Rebel, also known as Rebl or Ribel, is a nutritious Liechtenstein original dish prepared from cornmeal.
Today he is known all over the place, a respected singer, songwriter and producer, firmly established in Hollywood's A-League, a very popular show business that also regularly takes place on German TV channels. For the German market he produces Roberto Blanco, who also describes him in his book "Roberto Blanco – von der Seele".
The next step in his career took him to Hamburg, where he worked in the legendary Studio 33. When Toni Cottura left the German Eurodance group Fun Factory, a new possibility opened up, which Al, who was already touring Germany successfully with his former R&B single "Midnight Party" at that time, was rather hesitant at first. "At first I didn't know if a group was really what I wanted. But I agreed, because the producers already knew me and I was already signed there anyway, and had a great time with Fun Factory. We toured the world, it was like a crash course for me!" Later he wrote the book "Musicians Make It Big: An Insider reveals the secret way to break through today's music industry".
