Q: How can I change the default startup directory for cmd.exe? My Procedure last day as below
Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Command Processor
In the right-pane, double-click Autorun and set the startup folder path as its data, preceded by "CD /d ". If Autorun value is missing, you need to create one, of type REG_EXPAND_SZ or REG_SZ in the above location.
Example: To set the startup directory to D:\learning\perl, set the Autorun value data to CD /d D:\learning\perl
Then I clicked Start, run and type cmd. It successfully. I could do perl practice more conveniently now.
But today, I find when I try to build my Visual Studio 2005 solution which included some Pre-build event Command like this:
perl.exe MyAppVersion.pl
perl.exe AttrScan.pl

It doesn't work. Show error: can't find the path.
I check the environment variable setting and find the variable-path and it's value-c:\perl\bin\; still exist.
Finially,
I try to removed the Regedit.exe configuration "Autorun" value and test again.
The issue fixed.
I only changed the default startup directory for cmd.exe command. Why the pre-build event  perl command was impacted? (I am using winxp and activePerl 5.8)

A: It looks like Visual Studio is using cmd.exe to execute perl.exe. This is not unusual, and changing the registry as you have done can also impact other programs, not just Visual Studio.
Just do the CD /D manually or create a link to cmd.exe that sets d:\learning\perl as the starting directory.

A: I have noticed on windows 7 x64 that jdigitals suggestion to create a link that sets d:\learning\perl as the starting directory does not work. Cmd.exe will not take that as a legal parameter. Also, in Windows 7 the key refered to by brian d foy does not exist. So on windows 7 it just doesn't seem possible to get a cmd to start in the right directory if it is not on the system volume (C:). So as far as i'm concerned this isn't solved.

A: Seems like this has nothing to do with Perl, but is a Windows problem:
I had the HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Command Processor \ AutoRun set to C:\Work.
When trying to use git from within vim, neither vim nor gvim worked with the vim-plugin.
The working directory when an application was called was always forced to C:\Work.
Even though I had the right file from a versioned repository opened in the editor, and it found and used the git executable, it looked in the wrong directory for the repository.
No matter if the file was opened from Windows with the mouse in gvim, or via cmd.exe in vim.
Removed the AutoRun String from the registry and all was fine.
Executables that are listed in the PATH variable still can be found, but the working dir is wrong through being forced. (That is my explanation from my observations just 2 mins ago.)

Thursday 2nd October lady luck was shining down that night for two poor pilgrims on the blues road. After a chance meeting at the bar of a local open mic night Nick Phillips & Davey Curtis decided to get together and rehearse to see if it was viable to form an acoustic duo playing the music they both loved, namely the Blues.
"My first influences were rock n roll; Elvis, Eddie Cochran and Jerry Lee Lewis. All of these I heard from my sister's record collection and Johnny Cash, Oscar Peterson and Count Basie from my mothers.
Growing up in rural Buckinghamshire there wasn't a lot of live music about but I remember buying a BB King double LP - BB King and Bobby Bland live, it never left the turntable for months. This chance purchase led me to Muddy Waters, Elmore James and Lightning Hopkins who remain favourites of mine.
I played mainly in rock bands during this time spent a short time with Silmarillion later to become Marillion and left because I thought I was going nowhere playing this stuff! Formed my own band called Hair of the Dog and spent a few years in different line ups with this outfit playing around the pubs in Bucks and the surrounding areas.
I moved to the North East, mainly because there were so many good blues bands and venues at the time. I decided to advertise for a band which led me to Jeff Morland, wherein Barkin Billy and the Rhythm Dogs were born, later renamed as Barkin Billy and the Scrap Yard Dogs.
"I had been playing around the social club circuit for more years than I care to remember and by 2011 I decided I'd had enough and packed it all in. Every now again I would go to an open mic event just to keep my hand in. On the night in question, a friend of mine phoned and asked me If I would come down to the bar play a few tunes why not I thought.
Auld man's Baccie= A colloquial name for Yarrow Achillea millefolium. A plant that was dried and smoked in place of tobacco apparently and also has lots of medicinal uses and is considered a sacred herb by many cultures. An earthy name for an earthy duo.
After the lads had gotten a few gigs under their belt Nick conatacted Gary Grainger the Blues award winning DJ with a cheeky request to appear on his show. To their suprise he agreed and this gave them their first tatse of performing on air to the public.
This in turn led to Gary inviting them to peform at the newly formed Reivers Rock and Blues festival in the beautiful surroundings of Northumberland. Sitting in the crowd that day was one man who liked what he heard. Fellow Blues DJ Jolly Roger Daniels invited them on his radio show to perform live in the studio. An intense period of gigging and song writing then insured and finally in Setember 2015 the lads were ready to go into the studio and record their. Thankfully for them Steve Daggart of Lindisfarne fame pointed them in the right direction. First avenue studios in Newcastle proved just the place to record the earthy, honest and stripped back blues they play.
Joining them in the studio to weave some of his magic on a few tracks was a man they consider a friend and mentor the wonderful harmonica player Jim Bullock and to sprinkle a little sugar on backing vocals, Nicks Daughter Rhiannon Phillips. With the help of engineer Dave Curle (Magic Dave) Resonating with the Blues was born.
One faithful servant who must be mentioned and who always raises an eyebrow where ever he goes is their beloved Baccie Bus, The humble Fiat Panda!
This little car has taken the lads all over the north of England and when carefully packed has an almost TARDIS like ability to cram stuff in. The look on people's faces when they pull up to a gig and proceed to unload a PA system with two on stage monitors, 4 guitars, lights, stands, our table and its adornments, leads & assorted paraphernalia out of a small run-about is priceless!
The lads try to create the atmosphere of the old time Juke Joints whenever they play and bring a sense of fun along with the music they so obviously enjoy playing.

Peronist Argentina Reconsidered: New Evidence on Peron's Foreign Economic Policy

Professor Claudia Kedar will give a talk about Peron, the US and the IMF/World Bank entitled "Peronist Argentina Reconsidered: New Evidence on Peron's foreign economic policy". Professor Kedar is also teaching a mini course on "The New Economic Order: Latin America and the International Monetary Fund" in the Fall 2009. More information to come regarding Professor Kedar's talk.
The years of government of Juan Domingo Perón are one of the most broadly studied periods in Argentina's modern history.  The vast corpus of academic research on the First Peronism (1946-1955), describes it as an emblematic example of the Latin American Populism. In the area of international economic relations, Populism is described as a regime characterized by a profound nationalism and by a radical anti-imperialism. Thus, the classification of Perón as a populist leader, led the researchers to attribute to his government a monolithic and inflexible economic doctrine, embedded in huge doses of economic nationalism, autarchy, and anti-imperialism. In this lecture, I analyze the scope and limitations of these perceived pillars of the economic Populism. The analysis is conducted within the frame of the relations between the Peronist Administration on the one hand, and the United States, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, on the other.

Is Days Gone on Xbox One?
You may have seen reviews for open-world zombie game Days Gone, but which platforms can you pick it up on.
Guide by Jake Green, Senior Guides Writer
Updated on 25 April 2019
Days Gone is the latest from Bend Studios, the team that previously worked on Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Syphon Filter, and Resistance: Retribution. Days Gone puts you into the leather biker boots of Deacon St John, as he works as a bounty hunter in a world filled with dangerous zombie-like creatures called Freakers. It's essentially a Darrell from The Walking Dead simulator, allowing you to ride across Oregon on a makeshift motorcycle, crossbow in tow. With all of the hype surrounding Days Gone, you might be wondering whether or not you'll be able to pick it up on Xbox One. Let's take a look.
As with any big AAA release lately, it can be a little confusing as to where exactly a game will release. Days Gone is no exception, though the answer is simpler than you may think. Days Gone is developed by Sony-owned first-party studio SIE Bend. This means that is a PlayStation exclusive through and through, and is not available on any other platforms. This is of course bad news for those wanting to pick up Days Gone on Xbox One, as you'll need a PS4 to play it.
Will Days Gone Ever Come to Xbox One?
So, if you're looking to play Days Gone, you'll need to pick up a PlayStation 4, but is this likely to change in the future? Unfortunately, it's extremely unlikely, and basically unprecedented at this point. Sony funded the game, and have been proudly marketing it as a PlayStation exclusive and as such, isn't likely to put it elsewhere. Sony positions its exclusive lineup as a main reason why you'd want to buy its hardware, a stance that looks set to continue into next gen as well.
For more on Days Gone, be sure to head over to our Days Gone Guides Hub. It's where you'll find all of our Days Gone content, like Where to Get Fuel in Days Gone, How to Fast Travel in Days Gone, a look at NERO Checkpoints , a breakdown of how to Upgrade Your Bike in Days Gone. Also, there's our guide on How to Increase Trust Level at Camps in Days Gone. For a look at the Best Weapons in Days Gone, there's our Days Gone Weapons Guide. If you're looking to trigger the Days Gone Secret Ending, you'll need our guide on all of the Days Gone IPCA Locations.

Will it rain on campus on Sunday?
Posted in: Advancing Research Computing, High Performance Computing (HPC), Research
Aquila, High Performance Computing, HPC, Research, symposium
Will it ever be possible to improve the resolution of weather prediction to such an extent? Only time will tell, along with the success of using complex solvers tested on facilities like the University of Bath's Aquila HPC service.
Dr Eike Mueller won the prize for best presentation at the 2013 High Performance Computing (HPC) symposium at the University of Bath. Since September 2011 Eike has been a PostDoc in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath where he works on a HPC driven NERC funded project for improving the accuracy of global weather and climate prediction models for the Met Office.
Background to Eike Mueller's work
The UK Met Office provides global, 5 day weather forecasts. Data is fed into a computational model, this data is sourced using a grid with reference points 25 km apart. The aim is to increase the resolution of this forecast and use data from reference points 1 to 2 km apart. This requires a rethink of the computational model being used. Together with Professor Rob Scheichl, Eike is improving the performance of the solver for the global pressure correction equation, which is one of the computationally most important components of the model.
Rethinking computation models - how to make the most of Graphical Processing Units (GPU)
Traditionally users of the Aquila HPC service at the University of Bath run jobs over long periods of time, using a smaller percentage of the central processing power available from Aquila. Bath University Computing Services (BUCS) works to make sure that all requests for using the service are run as efficiently as possible.
Dr Mueller's work is different from these more traditional jobs. He is the first at the University of Bath to take advantage of the newly installed NVIDIA Fermi GPUs, which offers a total of 3,072 GPU cores. In addition, his work requires using the majority of the Aquila's capacity for very short periods of time. He is using Aquila to develop and test the performance of algorithmic and parallel scalability of solvers for elliptic partial differential equations in weather and climate prediction on novel computer architecture (in this example GPUs). Dr Steven Chapman from BUCS has provided support to assist Eike in getting the most out of the GPUs on the Aquila cluster.
What is next for Dr Mueller's work?
Eike is currently extending the work he presented in his talk at the HPC Symposium to run his solver on the EMERALD cluster, the UK's biggest NVIDIA GPU-accelerated supercomputer. In the future he also plans to test the scalability of his code on the TITAN supercomputer, which is currently the second fastest computer in the world. Having a local HPC facility allows him to test his work and solve any issues that result from the tests.
And the the weather on Sunday on campus?
P.S. BBC says it's going to be sunny!
HPC Symposium - Congratulations and Thank you!

I marvel at the madness of the traffic in China so now me feels a trip to Egypt might be necessary. Really if it's worse than China it has to be something to behold but not on a motorcycle.
Hurry up and write that book…damn it!
Rupert, great write up. Really enjoyed it.
Love you honesty…very rarely have I read such an honest opinion of the countries you have gone through. My partner is a RCMP Constable here in Canada and I think she would have the same feeling about law officials as you if they were so bold to ask for a bribe.
Rupe! Great read mate, lol with your border confrontations, best to let Fanny handle those in the future, eg Russia….

The company "TSAROUCHAS BROS SA" was founded in 1963 by George Tsarouchas, as a small production unit in the city of Kavala. Founder's main goal was to produce his own traditional products and offer them in the local market. He used to select the best raw materials and then applied his own recipes of processing, which were inspired by him and the food traditions of the area.
Soon, the growing demands of customers, led to the necessary relocation of the company, to bigger and more advanced facilities. The new facilities were equipped with the latest machinery and boosted the company's capacity for storage, processing and packing of products.

O USS Scorpion (SSN-589) foi um submarino nuclear estadunidense, desaparecido em 1968, no contexto da Guerra Fria.

História
Equipado com um reator nuclear e dois torpedos com ogivas nucleares, foi avistado pela última vez ao largo dos Açores a 17 de maio de 1968. Regressava à sua base, quando recebeu uma mensagem para mudar de rota, dirigindo-se para o arquipélago das Canárias, onde se encontrava uma força naval ex-União Soviética. Deixou de comunicar a 22 de maio, com toda a tripulação (99 homens), a sudoeste do arquipélago dos Açores. Foi dado como desaparecido apenas a 5 de junho seguinte pelo chefe das Operações Navais dos Estados Unidos. Exames acústicos oceânicos de diversas estações de monitoramento no Atlântico Norte confirmaram ter havido uma implosão.

Em 1969, o submarino USS Trieste II foi enviado para a região para tentar localizar os destroços e averiguar o motivo do desastre.

Em agosto de 1985, uma equipa estadunidense sob o comando de Robert Ballard, ex-oficial da Marinha dos Estados Unidos, como oceonógrafo e geógrafo, reiniciou sigilosamente as buscas. Com o auxílio do veículo submarino MIZAR (T-AGOR-11), os destroços foram localizados, a 400 milhas náuticas (645 quilómetros) a sudoeste dos Açores, a 3 700 metros de profundidade.

Em 1986, cinco meses depois do início destas, foram feitas novas pesquisas pela Marinha norte-americana.

Concluiu-se que os torpedos não explodiram no seu exterior e nem na sua câmara. O submarino afundou até à zona de implosão, a 600 metros de profundidade. Ocorreram duas explosões na estrutura: a primeira, na sala de comando, e a segunda, na proa. O reator nuclear foi encontrado intacto, mas os torpedos, com ogivas nucleares, não foram localizados. O trágico acidente deveu-se a infiltrações e avarias elétricas resultantes de manutenção deficiente, tendo como resultado a perda da propulsão.

Desde então, as autoridades dos Estados Unidos têm feito monitorização periódica no local, não tendo comprovado nenhuma libertação de radioatividade.

Celebrities like to spend their time in comfort and luxury. With big bank accounts and the right connections, they can usually get in wherever they want, especially places that can offer them all the luxury in one place. Casinos are usually popular among celebrities. Instead of playing online on New online casinos, they usually prefer visiting physical casino buildings. Some of their favourite places include Bellagio Resorts and Casino and the Mar-a-Lago Resort.
Bellagio Resort was constructed in 1998. It is today a place that offers the best of everything, including a casino, restaurants, and plenty of luxurious hotels rooms. There are 14 restaurants and in room diners. This and more have made it one of the favourite spots of celebrities. Las Vegas is never too far away for any celebrity. They only need to hop on a jet and they are at the Bellagio. A lucky guest can, therefore, get a chance to take a lot of selfies with celebrities here.
The resort in Palm Beach, Florida, named Mar-a-Lago, became a household name soon after Donald Trump moved into the White House in 2016. The billionaire president prefers spending his weekends here, instead of being in Washington DC. He has even named it his "Winter White House", and this has transformed the luxury resort into an important meeting place for the most powerful politicians in the world. The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, and the leader of China, Xi Jinping, are some of the most prominent guests who have paid President Trump a visit here. With guests like these, the resort has seen a big spike in the membership count, including businessmen and several rich and famous celebrities.
The resort, that is also a National Historic Landmark, was constructed in 1927. Donald Trump purchased the property in 1985, and has been running it along with his family since then. It houses 126 rooms and covers 62.500 square-feet. The property also houses a members-only club, with exclusive hotel amenities like spas and restaurants.

Q: C#.NET How to replace an user control from other user control I have a MainForm and 3 user control. In my main form, I've loaded UserControl_1 in Panel_1 when press a button. My UserControl_1 have 2 other buttons. If I press UserControl_1->Button_1 , then UserControl_2 will load at MainForm's Panel_1 and UserControl_1 will disposed.

How to do this ..??

A: The general idea is to have one UI control that displays the different UserControls. To make this work, you need to do a few things.
a) Create a BaseViewModel class that implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface
b) Create a ...ViewModel class that extends the BaseViewModel class for each UserControl.
c) Declare a DataTemplate for each ...ViewModel/UserControl pair in App.xaml... it should be something like this:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourViewModelsPrefix:SomeViewModel}">
    <YourViewsPrefix:SomeView />
</DataTemplate>

d) Create a property in the object that is set as the DataContext for MainWindow.xaml of type BaseViewModel... let's name it ViewModel for the purposes of this example.
e) Add a ContentControl to the XAML in MainWindow.xaml wherever you want the UserControls to appear:
<ContentControl Content="{Binding ViewModel}" />

f) Finally, set that property to any of the derived ...ViewModel classes:
ViewModel = new SomeViewModel();

The Framework will then search for a DataTemplate for the SomeViewModel type, find your one defined in App.xaml, render the view model according to that template and therefore display your UserControl. To change the view model, just set the ViewModel property to another of the derived ...ViewModel classes:
ViewModel = new AnotherViewModel();

A: You can use ContentPresenter to show your user control in the main form. This content presenter will depend on the state in your view model. After clicking a button in any of your user controls you can change the state property and the ContentPresenter will substitute the current user control with a new one.
For example:
<ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}">
    <ContentPresenter.Style>
        <Style TargetType="ContentPresenter">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding State}" Value="State1">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <settingsview:UserControl1 />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </DataTrigger>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding State}" Value="State2">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <settingsview:UserControl2 />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </DataTrigger>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding State}" Value="State3">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <settingsview:UserControl3 />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ContentPresenter.Style>

The Charles Wood House is a historic house at 30 Chestnut Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. It is one of the most elaborate Italianate houses in Stoneham. The -story wood-frame house was built  1875 for Charles Wood, who lived there until the first decade of the 20th century. Its basic plan is an L shape, but there is a projecting section on the center of the main facade that includes a flat-roof third-story turret, and the roof line has numerous gables facing different directions. There are porches on the front right, and in the crook of the L, with Stick style decorations, the cornice features heavy paired brackets, some of its windows are narrow rounded windows in a somewhat Gothic Revival style, and the walls are clad in several types and shapes of wooden clapboards and shingles.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, where it is listed at 30 Chestnut Street.  The property is also a contributing resource to the Nobility Hill Historic District, listed in 1990.

UC Davis Graduate School of Management Connects Students and Companies to Solve Real-World Business Problems
In a Nutshell: Modern businesses need new hires to arrive on the job ready to contribute. With that in mind, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management gives MBA students the opportunity to develop the hands-on experience they need to hit the ground running. The school's Integrated Management Project immerses student teams in a 10-week strategic program, tackling a partner company's "real-world" business challenge. As part of the school's IMPACT curriculum, the required capstone project has MBA student teams putting their skills to work to produce impactful solutions for clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to Silicon Valley tech firms. UC Davis has also launched a year-long graduate degree program to give students first-hand experience in the growing field of business analytics. The Graduate School of Management has developed all of these initiatives to help students master the skill sets they need to make a positive difference in business right away.
A decade ago, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management's curriculum renewal process turned out to be anything but routine.
Alumni, recruiters, and the companies where graduates worked agreed that the school had a strong core academic curriculum, but needed to provide MBA students with more practical, hands-on experience in a business environment.
In response, UC Davis introduced the MBA Integrated Management Project. The 10-week team project immerses students in a real-world business scenario and asks them to analyze and solve a sponsor company's problem. The issues are from areas such as strategic planning, operational analysis, market opportunity assessment, and organizational effectiveness.
Joe DiNunzio is the Faculty Director of the IMPACT program at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management.
So far, UC Davis MBA student teams have helped Google validate the software value equation for enterprises moving to a multi-cloud world, worked with Chevron Energy Solutions on positioning strategy, enabled Sutter Health to survey the future landscape of millennial healthcare, and created a framework to measure the progress of Johnson & Johnson's sustainability initiatives in the medical device and diagnostics business.
The MBA Strategic Projects at UC Davis anchor the IMPACT curriculum as a 10-week capstone course where student teams work to solve business challenges for sponsoring organizations — including Fortune 500 companies, major players in the agriculture and healthcare industries, and Silicon Valley tech firms.
IMPACT Faculty Director Joe DiNunzio said the partnerships benefit the students, sponsor companies, and UC Davis.
"Our goal is to build our reputation as an institution, build relationships with companies in our region, and strengthen our role in driving economic development in Northern California," Joe said. "This is a long-term goal, but every project's success is contributing to it. It's really the impact that we, as an institution, have on our region from an economic development standpoint."
The IMPACT Curriculum Helps Students Apply Academic Business Knowledge
The IMPACT (Integrated Management Project Articulation and Critical Thinking) curriculum puts academic learning to the real-world test, and the project course is designed to accomplish three objectives.
"It integrates everything they learned in our core curriculum such as strategy, finance, and marketing. It allows students the opportunity to work with real clients on significant issues in a real business setting," Joe said. "It also gives students the opportunity to work in teams and build their skills as leaders, managers, and teammates. It's great to have strong individuals, but success is driven by how you work together as a team."
UC Davis approaches the projects as a business operation. The Graduate School of Management corporate relations team works year-round to identify possible client sponsors and keeps a running list of 200 potential firms. They remain in routine contact with the organizations, similar to business development professionals at a for-profit company.
At the start of the academic quarter before IMPACT, students take a survey on their project interests — both functionally and by industry. UC Davis uses the survey results to target the organizations among the 200 firms that best match student skills, interests, and aspirations.
"Our view is that any project will work as an effective capstone for students," Joe said. "But to the extent we can provide functional or industry-specific projects related to their interests, that's a huge bonus. It makes it more motivating for them and positions them for what they want to do in their career."
In a typical academic quarter, 10 to 12 six-member student teams complete an Integrated Management Project (IMP). Joe said the businesses have to present a challenge in the "Goldilocks zone," meaning something demanding and also of significant value to the company, but not too broad for a student team to approach successfully over 10 weeks; developing a precise project scope is an important part of the IMP process.
"The experts are coming to us with a problem to figure out," said Rob Bohn, a recent UC Davis MBA graduate. "It's a great opportunity to work for a retail client on a real problem. And we know that not just our reputation but the reputation of the Graduate School of Management on the line, so it's high stakes."
Faculty advisors closely guide the team's process from start to finish and bring a range of consulting and industry experience in the business world as well as in academic research and teaching.
As with the MBA students, the companies also need to make a commitment. A C-level executive or general manager with budgetary authority is involved, as well as an executive who will be in routine contact with the student team. The company also becomes a Business Partner of the Graduate School of Management, providing recruiting and networking opportunities, as well as university-wide resources.
Students sign a contract with the company that details their work process and deliverables. They have weekly contact with the client, take part in ad-hoc discussions, and give three presentations during the course of the project. In the final week, they present their findings to the client, with analyses, projections, and recommendations.
"This is, ultimately, a student-led project, and they're responsible for defining and delivering the results," Joe said.
The success rate is impressive, as more than 80% of the client companies adopt the recommendations of their IMPACT team.
A New Program Preparing Students for High-Demand Analytics Jobs
UC Davis' Master of Science in the growing field of business analytics also provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in real-world business problems. The retail, finance, and insurance industries are increasingly using data to guide business decisions, and the analytics market is projected to rise from $44.5 billion in 2015 to $71.1 billion by 2022.
As the field of data analytics booms, more and more universities are offering programs to train students for the profession. Launched last fall, the UC Davis MSBA blends classroom learning in business and data science with a year-long project in collaboration with industry partners and drawing on the deep expertise at UC Davis.
"We have created a distinctive curriculum that blends organizational effectiveness with computing and analytic skills," said Professor Hemant Bhargava, Faculty Director for the MSBA program. "This synchronizes classroom and applied learning through the 12-month corporate project."
The program is also located in San Fransisco, which Professor Hemant calls the heart of the big data revolution
The hands-on business analytics project pairs a five-member student team with a corporate partner's analytics department to give students the opportunity to move through the consulting spectrum from simply providing information to building the trust necessary to make sustainable change in the client organization.
MSBA student Sonic Prabhudesai leads a team providing business intelligence and deep analysis to Charles Schwab's Retail Business.
"Our team's goal over the next 11 months is to build an interactive, self-service dashboard that would provide a state-of-the-business view of key metrics for various business partners and executives at the company," Sonic said. "I could not have asked for a better company and project to work on."
These in-depth projects last the full length of the Master of Science program, so students gain the experience they need to be ready to create business value and enable data-driven business transformation.
Developing the Next Generation of Leaders by Forging Partnerships with Successful Companies
Ten years ago, alumni, recruiters, and employers told the UC Davis Graduate School of Management that its students needed more hands-on experience to bring to the workplace. UC Davis invested two years redesigning its MBA curriculum and launched the IMPACT curriculum, anchored by Strategic Projects to give students hands-on experience in solving real business problems.
With this mix of classroom and corporate consulting experience, recent UC Davis MBA graduates enjoyed a 91 percent placement rate within three months of graduation.
Future business leaders who have completed a Strategic Project course said they developed mutual respect and trust for their teammates and developed skills managing client expectations, thinking nimbly, negotiating, and adapting to unexpected situations.
More recently, students in the charter Master of Science in Business Analytics class are working on Big Data problems for several technology, finance, healthcare, and retail companies.
In addition to developing top-notch business managers, UC Davis continues to build strong relationships with the Fortune 500 and technology companies that serve as sponsor clients. Those partnerships enhance the school's profile and give students in edge in networking and career opportunities.

I worked on some small projects this past week. It's been a nice break from making bigger quilts, but I'm gearing up to get back to that and finish 2 larger quilts really soon.
I made this zip pouch for my 3rd grader's teacher for an end of the year gift. We put a gift card and some dry erase markers in it. I've made a few of these bags, and I like using 5" charm squares for them.
And I got this Madrona Road scrap mini quilt top finished up. I started the improvised log cabin blocks a while back and decided to make them into something.
I wish I had realized the dark pink "L"s on the top and bottom were both facing the same direction, that's not something I would have kept, but I'm not going to change it now. I need to figure out a quilt back for it and it should be quick to quilt.
It's the beginning of a quilt back. A (long) while back, my friend Jan asked me to quilt a quilt top she had, and I'm finally working on it. It's a traditional log cabin quilt with a lot of navy blue, and some pink, red, green, yellow, and orange. I need to press the top and then I'll show it here.
She's a little tiny one.
I have one more cool finished project to share, that I haven't got a photo of yet. I'll get that done soon and hopefully be back with a quilt back to show, too. Hope you're having a good weekend!
Nice! I always love log cabins. I didn't notice anything amiss with the pink Ls - they all look great. Do you have a longarm that you'll be quilting your friend's on? Thanks for the little froggy pic - I love frogs and turtles!

Afghan leaders warn against firing Gen. McChrystal
With June on track to be the deadliest month in the 9-year war, the Karzai government supports the NATO commander
Deb Riechmann
Afghan officials said Wednesday that firing Gen. Stanley McChrystal would disrupt progress in the war and could jeopardize a pivotal security operation under way in Taliban strongholds in the south.
At the end of a one-hour video conference Tuesday night with President Barack Obama, Afghan President Hamid Karzai expressed his confidence in the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, Karzai spokesman Waheed Omar said.
McChrystal was summoned to Washington to explain disparaging comments published in Rolling Stone magazine that he and his top aides made about Obama's national security team.
While McChrystal, who was meeting with Obama on Wednesday, was harshly scolded by his superiors in the United States, officials in Afghanistan rallied to his support, saying he had increased cooperation between Afghan and international troops, worked to reduce civilian casualties and gained the trust of the Afghan people.
"The president believes that we are in a very sensitive juncture in the partnership, in the war on terror and in the process of bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan, and any gap in this process will not be helpful," Omar told reporters.
"We hope there is not a change of leadership of the international forces here in Afghanistan and that we continue to partner with Gen. McChrystal."
The controversy erupted as June is on track to becoming one of the deadliest months for U.S. and international forces in the nearly nine-year Afghan war.
The military said Wednesday that two American service members died Tuesday following separate bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan, and another Wednesday in a bomb attack in the west. That makes 70 international forces killed so far this month. Forty-four of them were Americans.
The deadliest month of the conflict for U.S. forces was October 2009, when 59 service members were killed. For NATO forces overall, the deadliest month was July 2009, when 75 troops were killed.
The violence is also hitting Afghans. A vehicle belonging to a candidate for parliament hit a roadside bomb early Wednesday in the east, killing the candidate's brother. The candidate was wounded but survived, said Ghafoor Khan, a police spokesman in Nangarhar province.
The flap over McChrystal comes as NATO and Afghan forces are ramping up security in and around the key southern city of Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban.
Karzai's younger half brother, Ahmad Wali Karzai, the head of the Kandahar provincial council, gave McChrystal a ringing endorsement, telling reporters in Kandahar that McChrystal's leadership would be sorely missed.
"If he is fired, it will disrupt the operation," Ahmad Wali Karzai said. "It definitely will affect it. He (McChrystal) started all this, and he has a good relationship with the people. The people trust him and we trust him. If we lose this important person, I don't think that this operation will work in a positive way."
In Kabul, Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi also publicly voiced his support for the general, who is prepared to submit his resignation to Obama, according to two military officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the issue.
"Since Gen. McChrystal took over the job as commander of the international forces, there have been a lot of changes in different departments, which are very important and positive," Azimi said. "For example, there has been a decrease in the numbers of civilian casualties and we're still working jointly with McChrystal to decrease it further."
Azimi spoke at a regular news conference held with Brig. Gen. Josef Blotz, spokesman for the NATO command in Kabul. Blotz declined to discuss McChrystal's fate or the magazine article, which reported deep rifts between the top commander in the war and the U.S. administration.
"Let us be a little bit more patient," Blotz said.
Associated Press writers Amir Shah and Rahim Faiez in Kabul and Mirwais Khan in Kandahar contributed to this report.

A mainstay of the Clarendon bar and restaurant scene celebrates a significant milestone Friday, as Mister Days (3100 Clarendon Blvd) marks its 40th anniversary.
It first opened in an alleyway off Dupont Circle on November 21, 1977 serving prime rib, ham sandwiches, a soup and a salad. And in the years that followed, including a move to 18th Street NW between L and M Streets NW before opening in Arlington in 2000, it gained a strong following.
The bar has served famous guests like movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Washington Redskins greats like Sonny Jurgensen and John Riggins, and had live entertainment from singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter early in her career.
But owner Robert E. Lee said it is the relationships he has built that are most memorable.
"It's kind of bittersweet," Lee said of the anniversary. "You start losing friends, not customers, but friends that you met through business. After you get out of school, you have professional relationships. In the bar business and restaurant business, you meet hundreds of people that become friends."
Lee said that initially, he was unsure about having televisions showing sports in Mister Days, figuring it would be a distraction from the dancing and food. But when he saw customers leaving to go home and watch "Roots," a 1970s miniseries, he began to think differently.
Instead of relying on the major network broadcasts, Lee did something new for customers by, as he put it, putting on "all games all the time."
"We figured out how to do back-channels through satellite dishes, so we got the satellite dishes," he said. "We started doing all games all the time. Nobody else had it. We weren't the first sports bar, but I believe we were the first where you could get all the games. You couldn't buy them."
Much of Mister Days' popularity in D.C. came from its "Rally in the Alley," an outdoor event held in conjunction with other nearby bars that included food, drink and live entertainment and at times hosted 15,000 people.
What began as a party one St. Patrick's Day morphed into a charity event, just one of the bar's charitable ventures that also included paying for kids to attend basketball camps and get basketball scholarships to DeMatha Catholic High School and donating food for free Christmas and Thanksgiving meals.
"[Rally in the Alley] became a major event," Lee said. "That's like the acorn that became an oak tree. That was just an idea, and that's what I love to do. You have an idea, and all of a sudden it works."
But, Lee said, Mister Days left D.C. after a dispute with the landlord over the rent. Lee said that while at the time he felt it was the right decision, he now has some regrets about how he handled the situation, and described some of their exchanges as "foolishness."
"We were so good and we were in an alley, and [the landlord wanted] to charge us the same as those facing the streets because of our success? That wouldn't work," he said. "But it could have worked. I was a little full of myself."
The closure of the downtown Mister Days in 2001 caused consternation among students at George Washington University. An article at the time in The GW Hatchet, the university's student newspaper, quoted various alumni and students lamenting the shuttering.
"It was a comfortable setting and you could always have fun," Jim Quinlan, a GW graduate, said at the time. "You could always could walk in there and see your friends and see people you liked."
After opening in Arlington in 2000, Mister Days has seen a change in Clarendon's nightlife. Lee said he recalled only Clarendon Grill and Whitlow's on Wilson being in the area at that time.
But since then, sports-themed bars have popped up across the neighborhood, including The G.O.A.T, which recently opened nearby.
Lee said he has been thinking about changing things up a bit at Mister Days, although he was coy on what might happen.
"I'm going to be making a decision very soon," he said. "If I decide to stick around, I will do it. But it's going to require an investment. There's a lot of things we could improve on here. Do I want to make that commitment of my time, with how much time is left? I'm 78 years old. Maybe it's time."

As nurses, it is important for us to have the most comfortable shoes so it will be easier to carry out tasks and to help us move around quickly.
However, some nurses suffer from medical conditions that greatly affect the feet, both in terms of function and structure. These medical conditions will affect how you walk around with your shoes so it is important to take these conditions in consideration when buying a pair of shoes.
Everyone's feet are unique in terms of width and sizes. Some people are born with wide feet and this is a usual problem when buying shoes for work. Successfully buying the best shoes for nurses with wide feet will greatly depend on the style chosen.
What to look for: Shoe styles with wide footbed.
Clogs are best for this purpose but you can also see wide varieties of slip-ons. You can even see labels made especially for people with wide feet; these shoes commonly have a wide base but they are designed to look like a normal shoe so no one will notice its unusual width.
Ideal brands: Crocs is the most sought-after brand for nurses with wide feet. Their clogs and slip-ons are made to be wide even for people with normal foot width. Other popular wide feet-friendly brands include Birkenstock, New Balance and Born.
Useful tip: In selecting a comfortable shoe for nurses with wide feet, visiting orthopedic shoe stores is recommended. These stores offer professionally designed footwear for extreme foot width sizes.
Plantar fasciitis is a painful disorder affecting the heel part of the foot. Overuse of the plantar fascia, a part of muscle surrounding the feet, is the most common cause. Some individuals are more prone in developing this medical problem because of susceptible anatomical structure, weight and age.
What to look for: Shoes with stable arch support is important for nurses with plantar fasciitis.
There are specialty shoes made for this problem but you can also find basic shoes that can work well with it. Just look for the right combination of cushion and arch support; too soft cushion will result to easily fatigued feet while too high arch supports will be painful for the heels.
Ideal brands: New Balance Toners, Merrel and Reebok Zigtechs are usually recommended for plantar fasciitis. Z-Coil shoes are also great; this brand is designed to relieve foot pain instantly.
Useful tip: If you still can't find the right shoes for your feet, using orthotic inserts will be best. Most people with plantar fasciitis recommend Dr. Scholl's custom shoe inserts. You can also find more orthotic inserts in varied sizes at footsmart.com.
It's very unfortunate for a nurse to experience knee problems especially at an early age. Bad knees usually result from foot arch problems, weight and bad posture. You can relieve bad knees by wearing proper footwear that will support your weight and posture.
What to look for: Shoes with stable arch support.
Higher top shoes with support near the ankles are great in supporting overall posture. Wearing sneakers is not advisable as they are usually flat in the bottom.
Ideal brands: Danskos offer steel arch support which is great in supporting posture to prevent knee pain. Merrel and New Balance are also recommended.
Useful tip: Bad knees could indicate underlying medical problems. It will be best to consult an orthopedic doctor to properly diagnose the source of the knee problem.
There is a natural curvature in the soles of the feet which is known as foot arch. Some people are born with unusually high arches and this can be a major problem in a job which involves a lot of footwork. Nurses with high arches can fix this problem by choosing shoes with great arch support.
What to look for: People with high arches fix the problem by getting custom-fit shoes.
Regular shoes may also work well but orthotic inserts or customized insoles should be used to support high arches and cushion pressure points. Slip-on shoes and rubber clogs are not recommended unless an orthotic insert will be used. Some people with high arches achieve comfort by using different shoe lacing techniques to adjust the pressure inside.
Ideal brands: Dansko and Sanitas are usual brands preferred for high arches because of their stable arch support. Other popular brands include New Balance and Z-Coils.
Useful tip: Superfeet Green insoles are best for people with high arches. These removable padded insoles are shock-absorbing and biomechanically shaped for optimum comfort.
The opposite of feet with high arches, flat feet are characterized by incomplete or complete absence of arches in one or both feet. Some people are born with flat feet and this problem can also develop from illness, injury, obesity or prolonged stress. The pain of this medical problem can be lessened by choosing shoes wisely.
What to look for: The key in supporting low arches is an orthotic insert.
You can find orthotic inserts made especially for flat feet in different footwear stores. Some shoe stores are also conducting personalized arch fitting aside from standard shoe fitting. This is great if you are always having a hard time finding the most comfortable nursing shoes for your flat feet.
Ideal brands: New Balance makes a special line of shoes for nurses with flat feet. Their 927 model is recommended for this. NurseMates, Birkenstock, Asics and KSwiss are also great to consider since most nurses with flat feet recommend these brands. Using a customized orthotic insert on top of these shoes will add more comfort in doing everyday tasks.
Useful tip: Flat feet can also be supported by therapeutic socks. The most popular one for this purpose is Thorlo socks which work by hugging the arches of the feet to cushion the heel part. The socks will feel too tight to wear at first, but it will feel soft and comfortable in the long run.
Low back pain is the most common problem nurses experience everyday in their work. Sometimes, low back pain is caused by improper choice of footwear. You can be surprised that a persistent low back pain can be simply fixed by using shoes with stable support.
What to look for: Soft cushioned footbed and sturdy outsoles are the keys in finding the best shoes for nurses with low back pain.
You should also avoid high-heeled shoes because they only add more discomfort in the lower back area. Sometimes, low back pain can also be caused by overpronation due to arch problems so it will be best to see a podiatrist if you suspect too high or too low arches.
Ideal brands: Dansko offers sturdy outsoles which is just perfect in supporting posture. Nurses with recurrent low back pain find relief in wearing Dansko shoes at work. NurseMates and Sanitas are also recommended because they offer cushioned insoles that will add more comfort while preventing low back pain.
Useful tip: Persistent low back pain could indicate more underlying health problems. If you notice that you are frequently experiencing low back pain before, during and after your hospital shifts, it will be best to consult an orthopedic doctor. You might need customized orthotic inserts for your shoes so you will have great support in maintaining good posture thus, preventing low back pain.
When walking or running, the feet bear the weight of the whole body. This is the reason why overweight and obese people tend to experience tremendous foot pain after walking or running. You can relieve the pressure your body weight exerts on your feet by choosing your shoes wisely.
What to look for: Shoes with cushioned footbed.
It is important that the insoles of the shoes should be very soft and shock-absorbing. You can even find shoes with removable gel cushions that can be placed in the heel part to relieve pressure points. Avoid heeled shoes and go for lightweight ones. Clogs are usually recommended but make sure to use a removable cushioned insert for the insole.
Ideal brands: Some overweight nurses found comfort in wearing New Balance, Dansko, Landau and NurseMates shoes. However, most people recommend clogs from Crocs or Birkenstock. Clogs are very lightweight to wear and ideal for overweight nurses. For more comfort, removable gel cushions can be added in the insoles of the clog.
Useful tip: Using removable insoles will add more support in overall posture and prevent concentration of weight in specific pressure points. Z-Coil shoes are also great to consider if you are always standing or walking. These shoes have coils in the heel part that can be adjusted depending on how you walk.
Pregnant nurses can have a hard time adjusting to the weight they are gaining throughout their pregnancy. It is important to change your shoes into something that will accommodate the increasing body weight you carry as your unborn child develops. Choosing comfortable footwear for pregnancy is almost the same as choosing comfortable working shoes when gaining weight.
What to look for: Shoes with soft footbed.
Some shoes are made with memory foam insoles which are great for pregnancy. Go for flat shoes as much as possible and avoid heeled ones. Wearing shoes with soft and cushioned insoles is like wrapping your feet with soft cotton so they will not sore easily. It will be best to go for a size that is one inch bigger than your actual size as your feet tend to swell more at the end of the day.
Ideal brands: Crocs are popular for pregnant nurses but others prefer Dansko and Saucony. Dansko is great for posture support as the outsoles are sturdy and shaped for maximum comfort. Crocs can be a little bit squeaky in the long run but its wide width is just perfect in accommodating swollen feet especially in the last months of pregnancy.
Useful tip: Wear supportive socks or stockings especially when your due date is near. Supportive stockings like TED will help minimize swelling in the feet so you can still walk around comfortably.
If you are having a hard time finding the best shoes for your foot problems, going to specialty orthopedic shoe stores will be the best option for you. You can also consult a podiatrist so a customized orthotic insert will be made to cushion your feet. Don't lose hope if you can't still find a comfortable pair of shoes for your foot problems as there are many shoe brands working on providing specialized shoes for specific medical problems.

The Four "I ….. You" statements that can change your life
Steve Rosvold
What are the most rewarding aspects of your life?
I bet this is near the top of your list: Personal relationships.
It is hard to imagine a very rich life without people to:
share in our triumphs,
console us in defeat,
collaborate with us on projects,
enjoy our adventures with or
just muddle along beside us during our daily grind.
Like many of the most worthwhile parts of life, personal relationships are hard work. An important part of that work is communication. Communication, especially when emotions are involved, can be messy.
The following four "I ….. You" statements can help add words to feelings that can be difficult to express. They are some of the most powerful and frequently the most difficult to verbalize.
The first is a common courtesy often overlooked, maybe even taken for granted, with those we are closest to.
The second is hard to say because it means we are admitting to a flaw.
The third can be difficult because it's in our nature to fight back when we have been hurt.
The last is tough because it is often only reserved for the most precious of personal relationships.
Here are the four "I ….. You" statements that can change your life.
I Thank you.
Sometimes these words can be trivialized. Expressing sincere gratitude for the act of another is an affirmation that shows appreciation and respect for their actions and deeds.
These simple words have a myriad of applications in everyday life. Being thankful for the acts, presence, kindness, gifts, big and small joys others give us is a major two-way thoroughfare. Those words inspire the giver of the "I thank you!" as much as they encourage the recipient. Try it on something you have been taking for granted and see how it works out for you.
I Am Sorry I Hurt You.
What feels worse than hurting someone? I am sure nearly all of us would agree that we would rather hurt ourselves than hurt someone else. Then why do we do it so often? I could use help here, but, maybe it's because we only know our own experience and when we communicate to others from our experience we are bound to "get things wrong". Those things we get wrong are what can hurt others. I would argue we almost never intend to hurt anyone – it just happens because we are human and as much as we try, we aren't able to completely see through someone else's eyes.
Recognizing you hurt someone, even when you didn't intend to or even when you don't understand why, is an important step in accepting others and affirming they are individuals with feelings and thoughts different from yours.
I Am Sorry I Hurt You is subtly, but importantly, different than I Am Sorry. The former takes responsibility for causing the hurt. The latter simply expresses remorse that they were hurt. If someone feels hurt by you, acknowledging you were the source and apologizing is a big step toward healing the hurt and mending the relationship.
I Forgive You
How difficult is it to say "I Forgive You" after somebody has hurt you? In my experience it can be pretty difficult. It just seems easier to place blame and try to figure out why they "wanted" to hurt me. And, shamefully, maybe I even thought of ways to get back at them for "wanting" to hurt me. But when I step back and apply my belief that hurting others is rarely somebody's objective, I can begin a journey to unravel the misunderstanding that created the hurt.
Is this your experience too? What tips do you have to help unravel the misunderstanding and begin your "I Forgive You" Journey?
Last but, obviously, not least.
Love is a powerful word which is why it should not be used sparingly. I enjoy the way Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®) expressed this. In his teaching he reminded us love is a verb that needs to be actioned but is frequently viewed first as a feeling. "Love the verb is what proceeds love the emotion" he proclaimed. Without love the verb, there cannot be love the emotion. In whatever role you are playing, expressing love the verb to those around you is the highest form of honoring them as individuals. Heck, who doesn't want to be loved?
For those of you who may be uncomfortable with the term love in your work setting maybe Covey's teaching can help us. Love the emotion can be reserved for your closest relationships while love the verb fits for everyone we interact with. Love in this way, is the act of putting others first.
Please, don't hesitate to add your thoughts or even disagree with my Four "I … You"s. I'll thank you ahead of time… forgive you for pointing out my foibles… apologize if I don't respond appropriately and… love you for making this discussion a dialogue rather than a monologue.

First Mover Asia: Bitcoin Edges Toward $58K; Altcoins Recover From 7-Day Lows
www.coindesk.com 24 November 2021 00:38, UTC
Good morning. Here's what's happening this morning:
Market moves: Bitcoin edged toward $58,000 as altcoins and other layer 1 tokens recovered from seven-day lows.
Technician's take: Momentum is improving as oversold readings appear on the chart.
Catch the latest episodes of CoinDesk TV for insightful interviews with crypto industry leaders and analysis.
Bitcoin (BTC): $57,550 +1.82%
Ether (ETH): $4346 +5.93%
Market moves
Bitcoin struggled to move above $58,000 during U.S. trading hours on Tuesday, while alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins), including ether and other layer 1 tokens recovered to above their seven-day lows.
As a result, the bitcoin dominance chart, which shows the extent of the crypto's dominance over the rest of the market, continued to signal a bias toward altcoin exposure, according to TradingView, down to roughly 42.31% from October's high at 47.41%.
"Bitcoin is struggling to consolidate as an inflation hedge but is also not following risk assets, which may be leaving some investors uncertain," Outumuro said. "Ether has been more closely correlated to stocks, which suggests investors [are] treating it more like a risk-on trade."
On the traditional markets, technology stocks moved the S&P 500 lowered on Tuesday, which could have a negative impact on the crypto market on Wednesday.
Technician's take
Bitcoin Holds Support at $56K, Resistance at $60K-$63K
Bitcoin four-hour price chart (Damanick Dantes/CoinDesk, TradingView)
Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be oversold, which could support a brief rise toward the $60,000-$63,000 resistance zone.
The cryptocurrency has held short-term support at about $56,000 as selling pressure has stabilized.
The relative strength index (RSI) is rising from oversold levels, similar to what happened on Oct. 27, which preceded a price recovery. On the daily chart, the RSI is approaching oversold levels for the first time since late-September.
Further, bitcoin's correction from an all-time high of nearly $69,000 appears to be exhausted, which could encourage buyers to return. Momentum is improving into the Asian trading day, although resistance at around $63,000 could limit further upside over the short term.
