Different organizations operate at different stages of analytic maturity – from almost non-users or rudimentary users of data to very advanced users of predictive models and algorithms and data-driven decision optimization. Competitive advantage increases with this degree of data intelligence deployed – beginning at the level of Hindsight based reactive decision making (Reacting to what were the business outcomes), to Insights (why those outcomes occurred - understanding performance drivers post facto) to Foresight (what is likely to happen - predictive modeling based proactive Decision making) and Optimization (how best to act - prescriptive analytics - scenario analysis, simulation and Optimization)." QPS helps businesses at every stage of analytic maturity and assists them in progressing through the stages quickly.
Our solution offerings have capabilities to mine structured and unstructured data of any volume and variety to extract actionable insights in addition to developing, deploying and managing custom models and scorecards. Our solutions help clients make fast, data-driven, strategic and tactical decisions across key business functions like marketing and customer relations management, risk management and operations. We work with organizations across geographies, Industries, size, and analytic maturity.
Our solution offerings address many key business questions using data and help organizations make quick, informed decisions based on actionable quantitative insights.
What is going on in my business? How are my key metrics looking for different geographies, branches, campaigns, etc.? How can I enhance revenue from existing customers?
Who are my best customers? Which segments are the most profitable and which are draining my resources? Are my promotions and services well aligned to the needs of my best customers?
Which customers are most likely to attrite? Which customers are most likely to stay loyal?
How can I measure the effectiveness of my loyalty programs? How does it impact my revenue and profit?
How can we respond more quickly to changes in the competitive landscape?
Where can I cut my operating and marketing costs? How do I know what my customers are saying in social media and what's my brand perception?
What are my underwriting risks for any new applicant? How do I identify fraudulent applicants?
Which customers are most likely to default?
QPS's solutions in this area enable businesses to make forward-looking decisions. This is powered by a discovery and simulation-based approach using data. QPS's most frequently implemented advanced analytics and predictive modeling solutions help organizations to predict outcomes, understand key performance drivers, quantify impacts of those drivers and make optimal decisions on those levers and monitor outcomes helping further dynamic fine-tuning and adjustments.
It provides a business an immense advantage to be able to predict likelihood of an event of interest (models to estimate probability like logistic regression) or estimate expected value of certain business metrics of interest under different scenarios and/or at a future date (e.g., regression models and time series models), or how much time it will take for an event to take place (survival models) - all based on information available currently. To achieve this, different statistical models and ML (Mission Learning) algorithms are used. These models are developed using all relevant data available within the business and all other relevant and available external data. Our solutions in this area support all model development needs of any business across all functions, namely, marketing and CRM, risk management, operations, logistics and others.
Response and Conversion models (new acquisition campaigns): Models to rank-order customers in terms of their predicted likelihood to respond to a new acquisition campaign – developed using historical data from previous campaigns on similar prospect databases – helps improve ROI on new acquisition campaigns.
Cross-sell / Up-sell models: Models to rank-order and identify best targets (in terms of predicted likelihood of accepting offers) for cross-sell campaigns - improves ROI on cross-sell campaigns. These scorecards are usually built combining demographics, transactions and behavioral data coupled with outcomes from similar campaigns run in the past.
Attrition models: Models to predict risk of attrition by customers (predicted probability of attrition), basis their behavioral, transactions and demographic characteristics – helps portfolio managers in identifying retention targets and designing custom retention plans.
Transaction Scorecards (Marketing/CRM specific): Models to segment customers into different categories on the basis of their predicted probability to manifest a specific behavior (of suitability for marketing or CRM actions, e.g., spend, cross-sell/up-sell response, attrition, etc.) computed using their card transactions characteristics (merchant type, location, amount, frequency, recency, consistency, etc.) – great enabler in customized campaign strategies, loyalty management, retention management, spend triggering marketing strategies, etc.
Application Scorecards: Scorecards to predict risk of default within one year of card/loan approval and activation/disbursal, based on application data (mostly demographics and bureau information available at the time of application processing) and payment performance of approved cards/loans for about six months to one year after activation/disbursal – used in application screening and /or initial credit limit assignment and collection queuing.
Behavioral Scorecards: Scorecards to segment existing customers with long enough time on book into different credit risk categories on the basis of different behavioral characteristics (purchase, payments, limit utilization, etc.) - deployed in credit limit management, pricing, authorization, collection prioritization, etc. and any other risk management tasks.
Collection Scorecards: Collection scorecards predict likelihood of success (to collect) and/or proportion (of outstanding amount that may be collected) given default – these scorecards are built using historical data on collection, customer detail and customers' application, transactions and behavior data.
Transaction Scorecards (Credit risk specific): Scorecards to quantitatively predict risk of default using their card transactions data (merchant type, location, amount, frequency, recency, consistency, etc.) – significantly bolsters the behavioral scorecards used in risk management functions by incorporating most recent characteristics of customers as revealed in their transactions.
Loss forecasting and LGD models: Apart from the credit risk scorecards (models of probability of default at different stages of customer lifecycle, using different types of customer data), we also provide loss forecasting and LGD (loss given default) model development solutions. Our loss modeling solutions include but are not limited to traditional approaches like net flow rate analysis and vintage loss curve analysis to advanced econometric/statistical models and machine learning algorithms as well as application of simulation and scenario analysis techniques.
QPS offers an efficient Model Implementation engine making it easy for the end users to use models to assign scores to customers. Using our simple GUI-driven model implementation engine, front end users can implement any model to compute customer scores only through a few clicks of the mouse.
Post-implementation validation and monitoring is an immensely important part of a model driven decision system. It is critical to ensure that the models developed using data from a certain time period from past, continue to stay relevant for the current data and performs with required level of prediction accuracy. In case a model doesn't pass the tests, an appropriate remedial strategy needs to be implemented depending on the findings from the model evaluation exercise.
QPS provides a comprehensive model evaluation, validation, monitoring and management service (encompassing all available and recommended statistical tests and other evaluation methods) for both models developed by QPS experts as well as by any other provider or model developed internally by an organization.
Some customers are more valuable than others, and marketers cannot afford to treat them all alike. Customer segmentation and profiling exercise provides a data-driven efficient way to customize marketing, CRM and credit risk and collections management strategies according to important segment characteristics of business interest.
In the exercise the customer portfolio is segmented into a few smaller groups based on all available customer data, past campaigns and any other relevant information using suitable data mining algorithms (e.g., hierarchical and k-means clustering) and a thorough analysis and profiling is done on each group to know them closely and across all dimensions of interest.
Our Loyalty Analytics solutions provide a comprehensive coverage of all loyalty related business questions right from measurement of customer loyalty and analysis and modeling of loyalty drivers (using Structural Equation Modeling) to evaluation of existing loyalty programs and recommendations on modification, as well as deep customer insights to support designing of new loyalty programs.
Our Customer Lifetime Value analysis and modeling solution incorporates all key factors that determine the long term expected value of a customer to the business. The solution involves modeling and computation of attrition risk and survival likelihood over a given period of time (usually three to five years), all revenue flows generated by the customers and all relevant cross-sell/up-sell probabilities (for a multiproduct organization like a bank, insurance company, etc.). In case of organizations where individual customers are not tracked through a customer ID in a CRM system, our solution is modified by modeling and computing the key parameters at a segment level including any inter-segment movement dynamics.
Our solution offerings to help optimize marketing spend allocation across channels cover both traditional market mix modeling services (mostly applicable for off-line marketing) with channel and geography level aggregate time series data as well as cutting edge bottom-up attribution modeling with highly granular, often individual level data (mostly relevant for online/digital marketing).
Our fraud analytics solutions cover fraud at different stages of customer lifecycle, namely at the point of application (usually first party fraud) as well as transaction frauds (usually third party fraud). Our analytics experts apply state of the art techniques (several different supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms and statistical modeling techniques) for a comprehensive mining of all available data for anomaly detection, extraction of rules and patterns to flag potentially fraudulent behavior. With system integrated implementation, this consistently delivers a significant lowering in fraud rate while keeping false positive cases in check. Our fraud analytics solutions result in consistent early detection and prevention of fraud, reduction in fraud losses from high exposure activity, reduction in false positives by better classification of transactions queued for review, enhanced customer protection, satisfaction and reduced reputational risk.
There are scenarios where an organization has plenty of data collected over a period of time but no well-defined business question is posed to make full use of this data or the organization doesn't have a well defined analytic strategy to make regular use of this rich information repository. In such cases, an open ended data mining exercise is carried out to search for any non-trivial, previously unknown actionable insights and patterns. Even when an organization's data is used for certain specific purposes, such additional open-ended (KDD) exercise is strongly recommended. These projects often start with a semi-structured approach which is allowed to evolve based on findings as the analysis progresses.
Under this line of solution offerings, QPS analytics group regularly works on projects to extract actionable insights and patterns from data by intelligent mining and analyses.
Transactions Analytics, suitable for banking (cards), retail and any other business domain where a customer can have multiple transactions over time, is one of our highly appreciated offerings from KDD/PDD line of solutions.
Transaction Data is a goldmine of information about customer behavior - this data is the most dynamic, up-to-date and candid source of information about the customers – their preferences, activity patterns, spending habits, and any changes therein. If appropriately analyzed and mined, this data can reveal highly valuable actionable insights to facilitate data-driven, optimized strategic and tactical decision making in banks. In most banks this data remains underutilized in the sense that very little analysis is done and insights are not extracted beyond some basic risk indicators to inform collections.
This solution, which involves a cross functional data integration exercise followed by multidimensional mining and modeling, is another frequently sought after service under our KDD/PDD line of offerings.
In this, we integrate data from all different sources within an organization covering all business functions and customer dimensions. This integrated customer data provides a 360-degree information coverage on the customers' information and serves as a single source of customer insights. This consolidated customer view can then be mined for actionable insights and patterns to support many different business activities like cross-sell and retention, offer alignment and campaigns, product designing and loyalty programs, credit risk management and collections, and any other customer related strategic and tactical decisions.
Big Data, includes (but is not limited to) structured and unstructured data of any volume and variety, external openly available data gathered from the web sources like social media, blogs, forums, etc., internal data like call center transcripts, customer on-boarding document, logs from web portals, click streams, etc. come under the broad definition of Big Data. And all of these can be analyzed in conjunction with or independently of the traditional internal data (like customer demographics, transaction history, etc.) stored by organizations.
The key aspects of Big Data and Social Media Analytics are data collection (external open data), data cleaning and management (both internal and external), analysis and mining to extract actionable insights, data visualization and quantitative analytics/modeling/machine learning using unstructured texts (through data vector extraction) as well as structured data. We handle the end-to-end process, through our multi-stage and modular Data Sciences engine, which includes advanced NLP (Natural Language Processing) and machine learning capabilities apart from web crawling tools. The engine resorts to Hadoop ecosystem and MapReduce based distributed computing whenever warranted and is thoroughly customized for different projects.
Our first level solution offerings in this space cover customer and market pulse monitoring, competitive intelligence on social media and customer interactions analytics, B2C lead generation based on customers' expressed needs in online social platforms.
For organizations at an early stage of analytics use or data-driven decision making, QPS helps develop and execute a rigorous strategy framework to expedite and optimize the evolution. This involves steps to create an integrated analytics data mart, data retention and management plans and a comprehensive plan for each Business Unit to utilize data through fast actionable insights, predictive models and ad-hoc drill-downs. If required QPS experts may also help develop all of the components.
To monitor business performance and drill-down to understand how different factors drive performance is an extremely important enabler of data-driven decision management. Our BI and Insights solutions address this with detailed reports with multidimensional drill-downs and a mix of industry standard metrics and custom defined innovative ones.

Presented Progress in Three Promising Neuroscience Programs including Friedreich's Ataxia, Neuropathic Pain and Batten Disease at R&D Day
Announced Interim Results for Phase 1b/2 trial of Cavrotolimod (AST-008) and advancement of enrollment in MCC cohort
CHICAGO & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exicure, Inc.® (NASDAQ:XCUR), a pioneer in gene regulatory and immunotherapeutic drugs utilizing spherical nucleic acid (SNA™) technology, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided an update on corporate progress.
"We continue to drive towards a number of key value inflection points across our platforms and programs," commented Dr. David Giljohann, Exicure's Chief Executive Officer. "Notably, we believe our momentum in neurology is particularly strong on the heels of our recently announced collaboration with Ipsen for Huntington's disease and Angelman syndrome. Our team has also made impressive progress in our preclinical neurology pipeline, with a planned IND filing in Friedreich's ataxia and work in pain and Batten disease using our SNA technology."
Pipeline Highlights & Updates
Ipsen Collaboration
On August 2, 2021, IPSEN BIOPHARM LIMITED (Ipsen) and Exicure announced an exclusive collaboration agreement to research, develop, and commercialize novel SNAs™ as potential investigational treatments for Huntington's disease (HD) and Angelman syndrome (AS). Under the terms of the collaboration:
Ipsen obtains two exclusive options to SNAs™ currently under discovery evaluation for HD and AS;
Exicure will be responsible for discovery and certain preclinical development activities. In the event Ipsen exercises an option with respect to the two collaboration programs, Ipsen will be responsible for further development and worldwide commercialization for the corresponding licensed product;
Exicure received a $20 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $1 billion in option exercise fees and milestone payments should Ipsen opt into both programs, as well as tiered royalties.
XCUR-FXN – Friedreich's Ataxia
The Company hosted a virtual R&D Day on July 15, 2021 to present new and previously unreleased preclinical data and discuss progress with XCUR-FXN:
Observed 2-3x fold change in measurable Frataxin protein in the cerebellum and dorsal root ganglia (amongst other important brain and spinal regions) in Pook800J mouse model indicating potential for disease resolution;
Showed no adverse, test-related histopathological findings in repeat dose range finding rat study.
The Company continues to expect to file for an IND for XCUR-FXN in FA by the end of 2021 and to dose the first human patient in the first half of 2022.
SCN9A – Neuropathic Pain
Presented supporting data for targeting the SCN9A gene which encodes for the NaV1.7 sodium channel, a sought after, but difficult to drug target with highly selective SNA approach.
CLN3 – Batten Disease
Generated in vivo Proof of Concept data of an SNA splice switching mechanisms to correct mutations in the CLN3 gene and upregulate CLN3 mRNA in the retinae of Batten disease mice.
Cavrotolimod (AST-008)
The Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of intra-tumoral cavrotolimod in combination with approved checkpoint inhibitors pembrolizumab or cemiplimab, for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), is open and actively enrolling patients:
As of August 4, 2021, total trial enrollment for the Phase 1b/2 trial including primary and exploratory cohorts was 51 patients.
Interim results from the Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial were reported on August 5, 2021 on 26 patients, 17 of whom were evaluable.
A complete response (CR) in one MCC patient met the pre-specified Phase 2 stage threshold to continue advancing patient enrollment in the MCC cohort;
Injected and non-injected tumor lesions completely resolved in the MCC patient with a CR, supporting systemic (abscopal) effects;
Eight evaluable patients were enrolled across either the CSCC dose-expansion cohort, in which enrollment and data accrual is continuing, or exploratory cohort;
The confirmed overall response rate (ORR) in all evaluable MCC patients enrolled in total in the Phase 1b/2 study was 21% (3 of 14) as of the July 1, 2021 data cutoff date, comprised of two CRs and one partial response (PR);
The Company expects to provide ORR results from the Phase 2 portion of the trial in the first half of 2022.
Expanded the executive management team with the appointments of Brian C. Bock as Chief Financial Officer and Elias D. Papadimas as Chief Accounting Officer.
First Quarter Financial Results and Financial Guidance
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash were $57.3 million as of June 30, 2021 compared to $68.6 million as of March 31, 2021.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $10.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Company has increased full-time headcount in R&D from 41 at June 30, 2020 to 66 at June 30, 2021. The increase in R&D expense reflects this increased headcount and the related increase in R&D activities, in addition to increased clinical trial activities.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to costs related to new hires needed to grow the Company as it evolves.
Net Loss: Exicure had a net loss of $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to net loss of $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by lower revenue associated with Exicure's collaboration with AbbVie as well as higher R&D costs to advance our pipeline and higher G&A costs associated with an increase in headcount.
Cash Runway Guidance: The Company believes that, based on its current operating plans and estimates of future expenses, as of the date of this press release, its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the $20 million upfront payment received relating to the Company's announced partnership with Ipsen subsequent to June 30, 2021, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

Sam Smith Opens Up About His Second Album "The Thrill of It All"
He said it's easier for him to write sad songs.
Soulful Brit Sam Smith is poised for a major comeback and after a year and a half of flying under the radar, fans are beyond ready to see what he's got in store. He's already piqued interest with his fans with the song "Too Good at Goodbyes," but in a new Billboard interview, Sam is giving us a better idea of what his sophomore album The Thrill of It All will be about.
He added, "It's bleak. It's not a happy record."
The singer made headlines earlier in October after he was spotted kissing 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn in New York City. Neither of them have officially commented on the possible relationship, but the internet was quick to react.
Sam also said that this album will reflect a more worldly view, and it won't be as strictly inward-looking. "The other [songs] are about situations my friends might be going through, or the world in general," he said.

Weekly Wave
A research and extension unit of the
Meet APW's New Maricopa County AmeriCorps Members
Every school year, APW brings aboard members of the UArizona Wildcat Corps AmeriCorps program for one year of service to help deliver water education programs in the community. This year APW is excited to invite eight AmeriCorps members to join them in developing and delivering innovative water education to communities. Four new Tucson members were introduced two weeks ago; now please join APW in welcoming four new Phoenix Metropolitan members to its team.
Phelan Stover grew up in Florida and is a lover of the ocean. After earning her BS in Environmental Restoration at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, she then moved to AZ to continue her education. Currently a student at ASU, she is working toward an MS in Environmental Resource Management at the Ira Fulton Engineering College. Phelan loves to adventure in her free time, whether that be hiking, camping, or kayaking.
Crystal Lloyd joins APW's team as she embarks on a career change. Crystal recently graduated from ASU at the top of her class with a BS in Sustainability and Public Policy. She enjoys all aspects of APW programming, from teaching to event planning. When not educating, she enjoys creating art and exploring national parks.
Rachel Mlsna grew up surrounded by lakes and forests in the rolling hills of Wisconsin. She brings with her a BS in Engineering Physics from Saint Louis University and an MS in STEM Entrepreneurship from the University of Notre Dame. She's thrilled to be spending time in the desert and to be learning more about water. In her spare time, you can find her running and driving for hours to find new spots to swim.
Robert Stoll has been involved with APW ever since his mother brought him along to volunteer at festivals! And he says, "Since then I've grown close to the organization of my own right. Keenly interested in informal education, it's my hope one day I can use my skills to create publicly available digital literacy and STEM experiences for students, parents, and teachers alike." Robert brings with him great technology skills. He has a BA in History from NAU and is currently working on a Library Sciences degree.

Dyeing strong cotton, foam and washing process may appear a slight fade, so try to break up with other clothes points. It should be noted that the working clothes soaking time should not be too long, average detergent and solution mediation, making clothes fade flat with each other.
When cleaning cotton coveralls, the most noteworthy point is the water temperature, cotton fabric wrinkle resistance has not been very good, so the most appropriate cleaning temperature of 30-35 degrees Celsius, and before cleaning, first Soak for a while, but the time need to grasp well, can not be too long nor too short, after washing should not wrung, cool in the shade cool sun, so as not to fade. It is recommended to use acidic detergent, like soap, to achieve neutralization.

Na Koa Ikaika Maui owners seek new money, will return in 2011: owner
By Kevin Reichard on September 24, 2010 in Independent Baseball, News
Fresh off an inaugural season that saw 50,343 fans pass through the turnstiles at Maehara Stadium, the Na Koa Ikaika Maui (independent; Golden Baseball League) owners are seeking new investors to help cover the losses sustained in 2010.
Running a pro sports team in Hawaii isn't cheap: travel costs are a killer, even on a schedule that sees visiting teams play six- and seven-game series. It's no surprise when Na Koa Ikaika Maui owner Michael Cummings admits to losses; the only question is to what extent. Golden Baseball League teams tend not to spend money unless they can avoid it — a pretty solid philosophy, really — but there are just costs associated with pro baseball in Hawaii that just aren't affordable.
So while Cummings is assuring the locals that the team will return in 2011, he's also admitting to seeking additional investors in the venture. Give him credit for honesty.

Can Falguera és una masia del terme de Terrassa (Vallès Occidental) protegida com a bé cultural d'interès local. És situada al sud de la ciutat, dalt d'un turó, enmig de la urbanització de les Fonts.

Descripció
Es tracta d'una masia de planta rectangular que consta de planta baixa, pis i graner. La coberta és a dos vessants i hi ha una torre de defensa incorporada, d'una planta més d'alçada i amb coberta a quatre vessants. La façana de ponent és de composició irregular i conté un portal en arc de mig punt, adovellat, finestres amb brancals i llindes de pedra, i obertura superior en forma de galeria. La façana principal, d'accés a llevant, paral·lela al carener, és de composició irregular i conté un portal d'arc de mig punt adovellat. A la façana de la torre apareixen dues finestres filigranades. Tota aquesta façana s'obre damunt d'una era o mirador, actualment urbanitzada entorn de la plaça Gran de les Fonts. La façana presenta estuc de color blanc i està acabada amb una cornisa de rajola amb tortugada ceràmica.
Al costat té adossada una capella consagrada a la Mare de Déu del Roser.

Història
És una masia originària del , època en què era coneguda com el mas de la Font del Riu-sec. L'any 1616, per enllaç matrimonial de la pubilla del mas, va passar a ser propietat de la família Falguera de Plegamans. Probablement ja existia abans, com ho demostra la presència de la torre, que guaitava cap a la vall de la riera de les Arenes i al camí de Terrassa a Barcelona.

Segurament era una explotació agrícola i ramadera important, la que al cens del 1832 hi consta que hi vivien 19 persones. A la dècada del 1920, a causa de la riquesa de les aigües de la rodalia, molts industrials terrassencs hi van establir una segona residència i així es va començar a construir al seu voltant la urbanització de les Fonts, en terrenys que la Societat Ribes i Cia. va comprar al voltant precisament de Can Falguera i al costat del baixador del ferrocarril, i més endavant en terrenys de les masies de Ca n'Amat de les Farines i Can Fonollet.

D'aquesta època és la reconversió del mas en hostal, quan se'n va transformar completament l'interior per adaptar-lo als nous usos, tant a la planta baixa com al primer pis. Actualment la masia està en desús i en procés de degradació.

Pel que fa a la capella, fou construïda el 1799 a instàncies de Pere Torres i Falguera. El 1932 va esdevenir l'església parroquial de les Fonts, fins que el 1950 es va beneir la nova església parroquial del Roser, prop de la carretera, i la capella va quedar abandonada. L'any 2000 fou objecte de rehabilitació.

The SE80/185T suits a wide range of boats around the 12m/40ft mark and is thereby a very popular model. Utilizing the same mechanical parts as the even more powerful SE100/185T, the reduced power makes it an exceptionally energy efficient thruster demanding less from the electric installation as well as being a very cost efficient model with a compact installation size.
The gearhouse / drive legs of most Side-Power DC Electric thrusters are now fully galvanically isolated / separated from the electric motor and motor bracket. This ensures that even if there is an accidental short circuit or a current leak for other reasons, the immersed parts are not effected as they could be with direct electric contact.

Every year the world's greatest sports cars prepare for months to compete against each other. But it's not their top speed that's on display. It's their style and elegance.
The year is 1950, and Phil Hill, who would go on to automotive glory as the only American-born driver to win the Formula One World Driver's Championship, sits behind the wheel of a Jaguar XK. Little does he know he'll become the first ever to win the Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance.
Spring has finally arrived and 2018 is in full swing. That means it's time to start thinking about your next getaway. But where do you go when you can go anywhere?
Easy. You pick the most striking, intriguing and unforgettable places you can find. In fact, we've done some of the work for you. Below, you'll find our top three recommendations for this year's best high-end vacation destinations.
Charitable trusts are a smart approach for anyone seeking to increase philanthropy while simultaneously lowering their tax burden. You can give more to your desired charity without worrying about a high tax bill on a sale of assets: rental property, second home, a business or similar event.
Charitable trusts allow you to move assets to a trust that you can direct for the good of a charitable organization. The assets are protected against capital gain taxes, allowing there to be more assets to produce income. You can direct the income to yourself, family or others while the asset base continues to grow.
These contributed assets might be rental properties, private residences, or business holdings.
Since 1969, tax code has allowed capital gains to be split or redirected to good causes, reducing your level of taxation.
On the hunt for that perfect Christmas gift? It can be tough to find that option that stands out, the gift that your loved one will continue to use all year long. One of the things we love about smart technology is that there is an option for everyone; it's a gift that can be personalized to fit any home or person. If you want to go beyond the basics with your gift-giving this year, consider one of these options.
Your charitable foundation cannot do good work without the support of the community. Organizing a formal fundraising gala or dinner can help engage your neighbors, support a specific cause, raise awareness about the work, and raise a significant amount of money. Planning and executing a large, formal event takes a lot of work, and it can be difficult to know where to start. In this article, we walk you through the process from the initial stages of planning the black-tie affair to completion of the fundraiser. Continue reading to learn more.
Companies like Indiegogo and Kickstarter have changed the way that businesses and startups get their products from the testing stage through to large-scale production. Initially used as a simple way to reach out to friends and family, now billions of dollars are being exchanged on these crowdfunding sites. Huge success stories like Uber and Oculus Drift have only increased the number of investors looking to strike gold through these new platforms. As crowdsourcing lowers the cost of entry for capital investments, high-net-worth investors are wondering where they fit into this expanding landscape.
Traveling can be a huge adventure to have with a loved one. But sometimes, after taking in the sights and the culture of a foreign land, relaxation becomes an absolute necessity before heading home. Spending some time in a luxury spa or resort can truly create a "vacation from your vacation." Then again, there's nothing wrong with planning your trips around revitalizing your body and your mind! We have selected five of our favorite getaways, both near and far. Continue reading to see why it's time to get out your passport.
Do you spend some time alone, meditating on your problems? Do you relieve stress at the local batting cages?
Well, according to a study by the University of Queensland, you may just want to turn the Metallica up to 11 and bang your head for a while. Sort of.
The study found that, contrary to previous evidence, loud, aggressive music like metal or punk can relieve anger and sadness, and help listeners calm down. It's just one of the surprising ways music can influence your mood.
Choosing a university is a decision that will decidedly impact one's future. If you're in a position to evaluate the options for a loved one in your life, it's not something to be taken lightly.
Harvard, Yale, Oxford – There are plenty of top-tier universities to choose from, and perhaps you already have a specific option in mind, but keep an open mind. There's far more to the decision than going on a university's name and reputation alone. Ultimately, it comes down to where the best fit might be.
As part of our commitment to the learning community, we've provided this guide to how you can sift through the options and work with your loved one to find the best education destination for him or her.
December has arrived, and that means the new year is just around the corner.
If you haven't made plans yet to ring in 2018, why not make this the year you indulge in one of the world's best New Year's Eve celebrations?
You can celebrate with hundreds of thousands of people if you desire, or you can tailor your experience to a private setting while still experiencing the festivities.
Below, we explore five destinations perfect for New Year's Eve and weigh in on another celebration option (one that requires much less travel).
Fall auction season 2017 is in full swing, and the best auction houses are offering not-to-miss antiques, memorabilia, and art. So often, these events pass by without you even realizing they occurred. So if you're an auction connoisseur, take a moment to peruse these November events before they pass you by.
The warm weather months are often when we look to refresh. It's the time that we can take a break, whether that means fewer appointments, sending the kids to summer camp, or a beach vacation. Take advantage of the sunny pauses in your hectic schedule and choose a summer read. But what should you be reading? Of course, you can find a nice beach read full of intrigue and suspense, or you could choose a book that expands your thinking or gain further insight on a topic of interest before the business of fall picks back up. We suggest the latter. Whether you choose one of the recommendations listed below or have your own bucket list of books, make the summer an edifying season.
For some, the first Saturday in May is always special with the classic running of the rose from Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. But the next best thing to going is to host your own Derby party. From the fashionable hats to the festive food, the Kentucky Derby provides us all with an opportunity for a little Southern hospitality. If you're planning on hosting a get-together, we're offering a quick guide to all the traditions and how to bring them home.

Q: ASP.NET Core - Bower files in Git I'm using ASP.NET Core 1.0.1. My question is - should I push to Git all files that can be downloaded automatically by Bower?

like bootstrap/js/src or bootstrap/scss?
I mean, we usually don't push to Git whole packages referenced by NuGet, right? We are only pushing some config file with their "URIs", so that anyone can download the packages on their own, automatically when they build the project.
Is it different with Bower? Shouldn't we push to Git only changes made to bower.json file?
I've just started the project and GitHub shows me language statistics
like this:

And so far I've written like 2 simple functions, not the entire Bootstrap or jQuery :)

A: It is unnecessary to upload those files. As documentation says
Bower packages are installed using Bower install command, so everyone who clones you repository can install them himself.

Russian duo complete EVA-35 – Luca recalls EVA drama
by Chris Bergin August 22, 2013
written by Chris Bergin August 22, 2013
Expedition 36 Flight Engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin have completed their second spacewalk in the space of a week, as preparations continue for the arrival of the next Russian module. Meanwhile, Luca Parmitano has recalled the drama of his aborted spacewalk when liquid started to fill his helmet during EVA-23 last month.
EVA-35/RS-35:
Thursday's spacewalk was a follow-on to the record-breaking EVA-34/RS-34, which was supposed to only last six and a half hours.
As last week's EVA extended past the seven hour 16 minute mark, it beat the previous record duration EVA for the Russians, namely the 1990 EVA on the Mir space station that repaired insulation blankets that were flapping loose on the Soyuz TM-9 reentry vehicle.
EVA-34 closed out on the seven hour, 29 minute mark, to set the new Russian record. However, it was still shy of the world record, which was registered during STS-102 in March of 2001, when Jim Voss and Susan Helms conducted an eight hour 56 minute spacewalk, as much as two and a half hours of that EVA was conducted from inside Discovery's airlock.
"All EVA objectives were completed including routing of MLM power and ethernet cables, installation of the Vinoslivost experiment panel, and installation of two gap spanners," noted ISS status information. "The crew also completed a get ahead task to retract the Strela."
Thursday's EVA didn't come close to challenging the record, with the focus on replacing a laser communications experiment with a new optical camera system, the move of a foot restraint, and also inspection a number of sites for what caused an antenna cover to come loose.
EVA controllers in Moscow initially decided to remove a task related to the installation of an EVA work station, and the associated foot restraint relocation, after the spacewalkers noted the configuration was out of family.
However, much to the surprise of everyone, including NASA, the spacewalkers then decided to install it, even with its misalignment, given the problem is only observed when the hardware is in the yaw position, which can be mechanically corrected.
The cover that came loose was spotted out of the ISS' windows by Expedition crew members, was videoed the cover floating outside of the Station.
"Service Module (SM) Antenna Cover: The crew reported that they saw an item floating aft of the International Space Station (ISS). The object was later identified to be a SM antenna cover," noted ISS status information.
"There are several similar covers on the SM and the team is working to identify which one was lost. Based upon the crew's relative motion estimate, the antenna cover is not considered to be a recontact threat."
The spacewalkers tightened the screws on the other WAL antennas during the EVA.

Thursday's spacewalk began at 11:34 UTC, as the duo departed from the Pirs airlock. It concluded – after a lot of Russian flag waving on what is Flag Day in Russia – at 17:32 UTC, concluding a five hours, 58 minute EVA.
The spacewalk was the 173rd in support of space station assembly and maintenance, the eighth of Yurchikhin's career and the third for Misurkin.
Yurchikhin was set to wear a Russian Orlan suit bearing red stripes, while Misurkin donned suit (#6) with blue stripes. However, both cosmonauts were wearing suits with blue stripes after Yurchikhin swapped the suit (#5) he used during EVA-34, for suit #4.
Both of the suits were equipped with a US helmet camera to provide close up views of the work they are performing outside the station.
Luca Drama:
While the Russian EVA is utilizing the Orlan suits, the US EMUs remain "grounded", following the aborted EVA-23 last month.
Investigations into the failure of Luca's suit are continuing, with the latest theory revolving around a vent loop water leak, caused by either a blocked or clogged Water Separator Pilot Tube, a blocked condensate water relief valve, or a blocked condensate water line – causing the water separator loop to allow excessive amounts of water to enter the ventilation loop.
NASA's Anomaly Resolution Team (ART) are at the center of the investigation, working closely with the ISS team who are making preparations to send up various elements of hardware on upcoming Russian and commercial vehicles.
However, it was Luca's own words, via a blog post, that provided the personal observations of what it was like during the termination of the EVA, as water started to enter the Italian's helmet.
"I 'feel' that something is wrong," noted the ESA astronaut, as he was just about one hour into his EVA tasks. "The unexpected sensation of water at the back of my neck surprises me – and I'm in a place where I'd rather not be surprised.
"I move my head from side to side, confirming my first impression, and with superhuman effort I force myself to inform Houston of what I can feel, knowing that it could signal the end of this EVA."
After informing the ground (Mission Control Center Houston, ISS Flight Control Room), Luca was joined by his EVA partner, Chris Cassidy, who helps to make visual observations of the water collecting in Luca's helmet.
"At first, we're both convinced that it must be drinking water from my flask that has leaked out through the straw, or else it's sweat. But I think the liquid is too cold to be sweat, and more importantly, I can feel it increasing," Parmitano wrote.
"I can't see any liquid coming out of the drinking water valve either. When I inform Chris and Shane (Kimbrough – in MCC-H) of this, we immediately receive the order to 'terminate' the sortie. The other possibility, to 'abort', is used for more serious problems. I'm instructed to go back to the airlock."
With the MCC-H controllers switched into their contingency plans, planning they continually train for, Luca began to head back to the Quest Airlock – a task made far more difficult as water started to increase inside his helmet.
"As I move back along my route towards the airlock, I become more and more certain that the water is increasing. I feel it covering the sponge on my earphones and I wonder whether I'll lose audio contact," he continued to write.
"The water has also almost completely covered the front of my visor, sticking to it and obscuring my vision. I turn 'upside-down', two things happen: the Sun sets, and my ability to see – already compromised by the water – completely vanishes, making my eyes useless; but worse than that, the water covers my nose – a really awful sensation that I make worse by my vain attempts to move the water by shaking my head.
"By now, the upper part of the helmet is full of water and I can't even be sure that the next time I breathe I will fill my lungs with air and not liquid. To make matters worse, I realise that I can't even understand which direction I should head in to get back to the airlock. I can't see more than a few centimetres in front of me, not even enough to make out the handles we use to move around the Station."
Remembering his safety cable, Luca utilizes its small recoil to allow him to ease back towards Quest. However, the Italian started to fear time was running out, and that he needed a last resort plan – to begin a controlled depress of his suit to freeze the collecting water.
"I start to move, all the while thinking about how to eliminate the water if it were to reach my mouth. The only idea I can think of is to open the safety valve by my left ear: if I create controlled depressurisation, I should manage to let out some of the water, at least until it freezes through sublimation, which would stop the flow. But making a 'hole' in my spacesuit really would be a last resort."
Luca – now joined by Cassidy – finally make it back to Quest, although by this point Parmitano is all-but blind from the water that had collected around his face.
"I move for what seems like an eternity (but I know it's just a few minutes). Finally, with a huge sense of relief, I peer through the curtain of water before my eyes and make out the thermal cover of the airlock," he added. "Just a little further, and I'll be safe.
"Moving with my eyes closed, I manage to get inside and position myself to wait for Chris' return. I sense movement behind me; Chris enters the airlock and judging from the vibrations, I know that he's closing the hatch."
Although now inside the relative safety of Quest, Luca knew he still required a back-up plan if the water situation became unbearable, even if it would have resulted in a very undesirable scenario for himself.
"I try to move as little as possible to avoid moving the water inside my helmet. I keep giving information on my health, saying that I'm ok and that repressurization can continue.
"Now that we are repressurizing, I know that if the water does overwhelm me I can always open the helmet. I'll probably lose consciousness, but in any case that would be better than drowning inside the helmet.
"At one point, Chris squeezes my glove with his and I give him the universal 'ok' sign with mine. The last time he heard me speak was before entering the airlock!"
Finally, the Quest Airlock is repressurized and Luca is pulled into the ISS where his helmet was carefully removed.
"The minutes of repressurization crawl by and finally, with an unexpected wave of relief, I see the internal door open and the whole team assembled there ready to help. They pull me out and as quickly as possible, Karen unfastens my helmet and carefully lifts it over my head."
Thanks to the professionalism of the ISS crew and the teams on the ground in Houston, Luca's safe return provided yet another example of the world-class training the teams are put through day-in, day out.
"Space is a harsh, inhospitable frontier and we are explorers, not colonisers," added Luca in summary to his experience. "The skills of our engineers and the technology surrounding us make things appear simple when they are not, and perhaps we forget this sometimes. Better not to forget."

Call for Papers for The Military Law and the Law of War Review
Written by Marko Milanovic
The Military Law and the Law of War Review / Revue de Droit Militaire et de Droit de la Guerre is a journal specialised in matters of interest for both civilian and military legal advisors as well as legal scholars and academics. It is among the oldest publications at the international level in the areas of military/security law and the law of war. For decades, the Review has been an important forum of discussion for scholars and practitioners from all over the world.
On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of its foundation, a dedicated issue of the Review's 2011 Volume will deal with 'The Role and Responsibilities of Legal Advisors in the Armed Forces: Evolution and Present Trends'. Another issue of the 2011 Volume will mostly concern the current military operations in Libya.
The Role and Responsibilities of Legal Advisors in the Armed Forces: Evolution and Present Trends
Articles related to this topic should in principle be between 2500 and 6000 words long (footnotes included) and should be submitted by 15 July 2011 at the latest. The Editorial Board welcomes in particular contributions from current/former civilian/military legal advisors who have experience in this field. Contributions should focus on legal questions associated with the conduct of operations (taking jus in bello and international human rights law, as applicable, duly into account) and may embrace one or more of the strategic, operational, or tactical level perspectives.
The Editorial Board will select papers for publication in The Military Law and the Law of War Review by 31 August 2011.
Selected papers may also be circulated as background readings at the International Conference on Military Justice, to be held in Rhodes (Greece) from 28 September 2011 to 2 October 2011, organized by the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War. This conference will see the organization of separate special panel on 'The Role and Responsibilities of Legal Advisors in the Armed Forces'. Selected authors will receive an invitation to attend this conference, including the special panel, and may be approached to present their paper to the participants.
This initiative is intended to be the starting point for a continuing global dialogue on the same topic, under the auspices of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War, with a view to promoting the rule of law worldwide. It is understood that this dialogue will also benefit from contributions addressing legal aspects of cooperation between armed forces and civilian government agencies as well as with private sector entities (such as contractors and non-governmental organizations).
Military Operations in Libya
Articles discussing legal questions associated with the current military operations in Libya should be submitted by 15 September 2011. The Editorial Board welcomes brief contributions (about 3000 words – footnotes excluded) as well as larger contributions (about 6500 words – footnotes excluded) from practitioners and scholars. Focus areas may include – but are not limited to – questions regarding the interpretation and application of Chapter VII of the UN Charter (e.g. the measures carried in the framework of the 'No-Fly Zone Plus' and the embargo operations), including in relation to the Responsibility to Protect (in the context of which recent UNSC Resolutions regarding Cote d'Ivoire may also be considered relevant); the manner in which Balkans/Rwanda Lessons Learned have been taken into account in the decision-making process concerning UNSCRs 1970 and 1973; the conduct of operations; and the legal ramifications of the recognition of and cooperation with the Libyan insurgency.
The Editorial Board will select papers for publication in The Military Law and the Law of War Review by 1 November 2011.
The Editorial Board may be contacted at: soc-mil-law {at} scarlet(.)be

Q: GitHub remote removed from repo after using set-url I want to use an open source project from Github repository in my project which is placed on Atlassian Stash.
But I know that I have to do some change on that project in order to be usable in mine. Furthermore I do want to be able to add future patches of that GitHub repository to my project.
I have cloned the code to my local computer using following command:
git clone http://github.com/...

after that I added that code to my stash using following command:
git remote set-url origin http://MY-LOCAL_STASH/...
git push origin master

after doing that just the code placed on the server and GitHub git trackers were removed by git itself.
Does anyone have any solution for my problem?

A: When you set-url the URL for the origin remote, you removed the original location, which is that of the GitHub repository.  In Git, you can have many remotes, and the default name for the one you cloned from is origin.
You should add another remote (I usually call it upstream) and point it to GitHub.  To update the copy of the code in Stash, you'll pull from upstream then push to origin.  Run this:
git remote add upstream http://github.com/...
git fetch upstream

(Substitute the URL of the repo you cloned from.)  Now you can do this whenever you want to update:
git fetch upstream
git push origin upstream/master

Both output and new orders increased solidly in October, albeit at slower rates, according to the RBC Canadian Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (RBC PMI), a monthly survey, conducted in association with global financial information services company Markit and the Purchasing Management Association of Canada (PMAC).
a monthly survey, conducted in association with global financial information services company Markit and the Purchasing Management Association of Canada (PMAC).
The index found Canadian manufacturing business conditions improved further in October, with firms attributing higher output and new orders to greater demand and new client wins. Still, the respective rates of growth eased since September as global economic conditions weakened and new export orders fell modestly.
The headline RBC PMI—which provides a snapshot of the manufacturing sector's health—posted 53.7 in October, down from 55 in September. Readings above 50 signal expansion from the previous month, readings below that show contraction.
• Inflationary pressures weaken further.
Firms generally linked improved business conditions to new order growth in October. Incoming new work rose solidly, with almost 30 percent of monitored companies registering larger new order volumes compared with September. Anecdotal evidence largely attributed the increase to greater demand and new client wins. The rate of growth was the weakest since July, as new export orders fell modestly in October.
Canadian manufacturers raised production during the latest survey period, as has been the case since the start of data collection in October 2010. Output increased robustly, but at a slower pace than September, while backlogs of work fell modestly in October. Stocks of finished goods were reduced further, in some cases to meet higher new order requirements.
Inputs purchased in October increased. Surveyed firms also depleted input inventories for the second month, with many citing leaner stock holding policies. Suppliers' delivery times lengthened further in October, as input demand strengthened. Still, the latest increase in lead times was the weakest in the 13-month series's history.
Employment in Canada's manufacturing sector rose further during the latest survey period. About 22 percent of survey respondents raised staffing levels, while 14 percent reduced headcounts. The rate of job creation was solid, but slower than that registered in September.
