'Veronica' review
March 28, 2018 by Fatiya Leave a Comment
Image taken from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5862312/
Veronica is a new horror movie that was released on Netflix. There is a rumor that it is the scariest movie ever made. It is based on a true story, and it is said that only 1 out of 100 people can watch the whole movie. Experts are saying that it can kill weak hearted people. It is in the genre of "found footage" horror movies, and is doing pretty well right now.
During the eclipse, Veronica and two of her friends decide to play with a Ouija board. That was a serious mistake that they all will regret. The Ouija board opened a door for a dangerous spirit/monster/demon to come through. Veronica was the last one touching the cup, so she was the one who got possessed. Her friends stopped talking to her and Veronica didn't know why.
While their mom works at a bar all day, Veronica is mostly at home with the kids, and that is usually when the spirit likes to strike. It was disguised as their dad, but soon the kids seen the sinister side of the monster. Multiple times, Veronica tried to ward it off and was successful but in the end she dies protecting her family.
Veronica is based on a true story about a unsolved case of a young girl in Madrid, in 1992, named Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro, who mysteriously died after using a Ouija board. Police were never able to crack their investigation. This made the movie a little bit more scary because you can't shake it off and say it was fake; it was something that really happened.
While watching the movie, it was creepy, it wasn't scary, it was just really weird. And the song they used n it, had nothing to do with it, which just made me laugh while watching the movie so Veronica wasn't scary.

Flint, Michigan water
March 28, 2018 by Dejra Leave a Comment
April 25th, 2018, will mark the fourth year of the Flint, Michigan water crisis. Imagine coming up on four years of unclean, unhealthy, lead water that has killed about 15 civilians. Flint has had to deal with this long history of unclean water caused by "insufficient" funds. Researchers have discovered traces of lead in many children, and recently called for a state of emergency after all this time. This is a great issue, that hasn't been urgently handled, that's impacting many civilians.
How did this start? This tragedy began in 2011 when the city announced a new pipeline would be built. They turned to the Flint River as their source, instead Lake Huron, when they attempted to cut city costs. Flint is known as a poverty city. Even though this was supposed to be a temporary deal, this transition lasted to April 2014. The lawmakers did their best to hide the fact they were providing a toxic resource. In May 2014, residents began to notice this ill-tasting, smelly water in their homes.

After about a year, reports leak about the lead levels in the Flint homes. Lead consumption can affect the lungs, heart, kidneys, and nerves. Lead affects newborns, children, and adults in different ways. Being born prematurely, weight loss, and difficulties with memory or concentration are just a few symptoms.
Ever since 2014, lead levels have continued to rise for these Flint citizens.
After about two years, lead levels began to get better. The city sent bottled water, and filters, to schools and homes to provide them secure water.
This disaster left over 100,000 residents exposed to lead in their water. It continues to leave these residents exposed to lead.
With this information, what can we do? Aside from providing filtered water, like the government, there's nothing we can do. Filtered water and filter systems are the only way for Flint residents to live a healthy lifestyle. Donating to projects that are funding their cause is another way to support the cause of the Flint water crisis

Rihanna vs. Snapchat

Back in 2009, Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna during an argument. This news was all over the Internet. Everybody was shocked to hear this news because people thought of them as the perfect couple. This incident made Chris Brown lose many of his fans because they didn't tolerate domestic violence. According to CNN Judge Patricia Schnegg: "I want Mr. Brown treated as any other defendant who comes to this court." At the time, Chris Brown was 19 years old. He felt like abuse was a way to express his feelings, because that's how Brown was raised. Allegedly, his stepfather used to beat his mother and it influenced him. What he did was not okay, but he thought it was. Obviously, he was wrong.
Rihanna is criticizing Snapchat for advertising domestic abuse. The ad is mocking her domestic violence incident with former boyfriend, Chris Brown. The ad for the app called "Would you Rather?" featured photos of the two singers and asked the app users if they would rather "slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown."
The, "Would Rather" ad was removed sometime last week, and Snapchat released an apology on The Verge: "The advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines."
Rihanna won't accept Snapchat's apology and said they did it intentionally. Rihanna went to Instagram to let her fans know how she felt about the whole ordea,l and she said, "This isn't about my personal feelings, cause I don't have much of them…but all the women, children and men that have been victims of domestic violence in the past and especially the ones who haven't made it out yet…you let us down!" Snapchat responded to Rihanna's post and said that it was a disgusting thing and it would never happen again.
The issue with American soccer
March 27, 2018 by brendanvellenga Leave a Comment
image taken from: Ymele:500px-US Soccer logo.png – Wikipǣdia, sēo frēo wīsdōmbōc
It all starts with the kids.
After the United States failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, many turned to the Division I system, in college, and the player development clubs and academies, to find something/one to blame.
The indisputable fact is that soccer is the most popular sport in every country, in Central and South America. Even with nowhere near the population that the U.S. has, Trinidad and Tobago ousted the U.S., with a score of 2-1, in the United States' final qualifying game.
The reason these countries can win against such a big country like the U.S., is because every kid is playing every day since the ages of 4-5 and it is every kids' number one sport.
In the U.S., kids have the opportunity to play basketball, football, baseball, tennis, and many other sports. While a good number of kids still play soccer, it does not become their sole focus, usually, until about the age of 10 or 11. When kids choose a sport to focus on, it is usually basketball or football, but soccer is becoming increasingly popular in U.S.
I believe the U.S. will never make the semis of the World Cup unless soccer becomes the most popular sport in the country.
The fact that in almost every other country in the world, soccer is the most popular sport, outweighs the number of people those nations have. Because these foreign countries have been playing soccer (football) for such a long time, they have greatly improved their academies and national teams; often attracting the top young players from the U.S., to play abroad to play against better competition.
Trinidad and Tobago is a prime example of a smaller country having more skilled and polished players, even with 322 million fewer people in their country. Fundamentals are the most important skills of any sport, including soccer. Maintaining a solid base in soccer is key for the most important skills in the game: first touch, passing, and vision.

Outstanding dribbling is a given for countries out of South America, but first touch is also, at times, overlooked. Since focusing on one sport, from a young age, is so important for becoming a master of the skills involved, this is why countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, with a population of 1.6 million, has realistic chances against the U.S. Because of this, some have started to blame our college system after the devastating loss on October 10, 2017.
Since Division I programs only want to win their conference, and make it to the NCAA Tournament, they are not focusing on developing the skills of their players, but rather playing the tactics that the coaching staff wants. Yes, this is a problem, but all of the problems, that can be pulled out of our academies and college programs, are the way they are because of the shortage of players we have committed to the game of soccer in the first place.
The simple fact of the matter is: we need more youngsters getting into the game that most other countries cherish with massive amounts of love and attention.

The NFL free agency started of with a few key players moving around. First, the Denver Broncos signed quarterback Case Keenum. The Broncos are hoping that Keenum can emulate his success from last year, where he lead the Minnesota Viking to a heartbreaking NFC Championship game loss.
The Viking continued the theme of losing all of their quarterbacks as Sam Bradford signed with the Cardinals and Teddy Bridgewater signed with the Jets.
image taken from: https://www.twincities.com/2018/03/25/after-spending-84-million-on-kirk-cousins-a-good-draft-would-be-just-what-vikings-need/
The Vikings picked up Kirk Cousins from the Redskins. The Vikings believe Cousins can be their quarterback of the future.
Drew Brees also re-signed with the Saints. This move keeps New Orleans in the hunt for the playoffs and maybe the Super Bowl.
This free agency shook things up quit a bit. Above were the big moves made by teams, but every team made moves that will be significant next year, whether we know it or not. NFL teams are still signing players in free agency even though all the star players are signed. At this point of the year, teams are looking to fill in holes in their team. Most of those holes are at positions like offensive lineman, and getting a third cornerback that fits your system.
After free agency, teams look to secure their future through the draft. The draft allows teams to take risks, and potentially draft a star player. Some teams will be making smaller moves later in the draft while other teams such as the Cleveland Browns will be attempting to draft a franchise player in order to give themselves a glimmer of hope that things will get better.

Harry Styles "Medicine"
March 27, 2018 by ali12531 Leave a Comment
Harry Styles recently started his 2018 tour, which was to be more inclusive with the people that wanted to go, considering that his tour last year, 2017, was small venues only, in limited locations.
image taken from: https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/celebrities/99475770/harry-styles-lowkey-charm-kicks-off-his-only-new-zealand-tour-date
During his concerts, he sings his whole album, and adds in a few extra songs. Last year, he sang songs like "The Chain," and songs from his group One Direction. This time, he has released two songs that have never been heard; he wrote them when he was writing his album, but they were cut from it.
My personal favorite is "Medicine." It is a really fun and upbeat song that also gets slow in some parts. This song has caused a lot of talk about it. First off, the song is amazing. People are mad that it was cut from the album and he hasn't released a studio version. Then, there's the lyrics. They were analyzed because the song was live and it's kind of difficult to hear them clearly. Harry Styles basically came out as bisexual in the song by saying "the boys and girls are in, I mess around with him, and I'm ok with it."
Many news websites, and all over social media, have people talking about Harry, and his lyrics. His fans are really glad that people finally see that he's bisexual, as we have known/guessed for years. He has been open about it in the past, giving hints, but never saying it straightforward. In an interview he was asked if gender matters when he's dating, and he said it didn't matter to him personally; people skipped over this. Harry is now out. He knew what he was doing when he sang this song live, and I'm really happy for him.

Dangers of Ransomware
March 26, 2018 by Victor Chikong Xiong Leave a Comment
Ransomware is a type of malicious software within computer technology, which is also known as malware. Ransomware is a type of malware virus that denies the owner, of a certain software, the access to their files within the software. In sense, if you had a laptop, and you had a Ransomware attack, you would not be able to log into the laptop or access files on it. Ransomware will ask for a payment, preferably in cryptocurrency, before you are allowed to access the software with a code, but most likely you will not be able to, and be asked to pay more.
This was how Ransomware was discovered, and how Ransomware affects peoples' opinion on technology. It causes many organizations, companies, or businesses to change the technology they are using, or change their servers, networks, or computers entirely, which can cost up to a million dollars.
Their are many ways to be "attacked" by Ransomware. The most common delivery system is "Phishing Spam." Messages and attachments that are sent to your email, disguising itself as a downloadable software that they need. Once the file has been downloaded, or opened, Ransomware can take over the computer and cause you to input private information, administrative access, etc.
Another form of Ransomware are specific programs that are created. These are more aggressive ways to hack into networks, and are disguised as ads, commercials, etc on the Internet. An example was "Petya." Petya was a Ransomware application back in 2016 that mainly attacked the Ukraine, and used many different types of networks, software, etc., to forcibly hack into the systems of families, companies, industries, etc., and install Ransomware viruses.
Ransomware has been used as a way for "hackers" to steal money using cryptocurrency and the use of technology to deceive people into paying. Ransomware has caused many companies and businesses to lose nearly $1 million. Ransomware has slowly gained popularity throughout the 20th century because of the new advancements in technology which allowed hackers to easily access networks, servers, etc.
Image Taken from: https://www.computeroptions.net/report-ransomware-attacks-hit-nearly-30-percent-midmarket-organizations-2017/
As in the last passage, Petya is an encrypting Ransomware that infects targeted computers and locks out access to the computer until Bitcoin currency is paid. Petya had attacked Europe, and the U.S., back in 2016, targeting major companies, organizations and businesses. Petya used firm advertisements to infect computers and servers, and infected Microsoft Windows. These ads were similar to WPP ads, food companies, or other ads that would attract consumers, buyers, etc.
Another attack of Ransomware was the, "WannaCry" attack in 2017, where the virus attacked and encrypted Microsoft Window networks, systems and computers and hacked over 230,000 computers in 150 different countries. WannaCry was also able to attack and hack LG Electronics in Asia, and this caused them to shut down all of their networks, servers, and electronics to try and solve the virus. Honda was also affected, and companies nearby and server/networks inspections were enforced to try and get rid of WannaCry Ransomware.
So, ways to not be attacked include: stay away from websites that are not secure, and don't click on ads. And if you do get hacked, hopefully, you have a hard drive with important files; turn off the computer(s) and try to find someone who can help get rid of the Ransomware. Have anti-malware applications on your computer that protect it from viruses, or firewalls, etc. If all else fails, the only other way is to hopefully be given the code(s) after paying the wanted payment(s).

image taken from: https://www.biography.com/people/walt-disney-9275533
Walt Disney was a cartoonist and an animator. He created many movies and multiple T.V. shows. He also made a television channel for kids to enjoy. Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1918 he wanted to enlist in the military, but he was too young so he faked his age and made himself seem older. Once he finished his service in the military, Walt Disney started his career as a cartoonist and animator. On July 13, 1925 he got married, to one of his employees named Lillian Bounds.
Walt Disney's first cartoon made was called "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" and then they changed him later on to Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney's first cartoon with sound was called "Steamboat Willie." Walt Disney created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit before he worked for the Disney Company.
The co-founder of the Walt Disney company is his older brother Roy O. Disney. Walt Disney's most famous character is Mickey Mouse, who is in many cartoons including comedy shows, and movies. They usually have Mickey go through adventures with his friends Pluto, Goofy, and Donald Duck, and he often falls in love with another mouse named Minnie Mouse.
Walt Disney had 2 children: a daughter named Diane Miller, and another daughter named Sharon Disney, who is the youngest of the 2. Both of his children have passed away: Sharon passed in 1993, and Diane passed in 2013. Diane published books about her father.
Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, so the Disney Company took over his work and created what the Walt Disney Channel has become today. There are more sounds and real people, but not as many cartoons. They also created Disney World, so they pretty much took Walt Disney's place when he passed.

Highland Park blood drive
March 26, 2018 by Piper Gallivan Leave a Comment
image taken from: https://uvmbored.com/event/american-red-cross-blood-drive/
Highland Park had its annual blood drive on Friday, March 16th. Every year, in the early spring, Highland Park Student Council teams up with the Red Cross to put on a blood drive. It is a great cause because all the blood donated goes to people who need it. Anyone who comes into a hospital needing blood can greatly benefit from donated blood, and it can possibly save their life.
This drive was especially important because the Red Cross has had to cancel over 10 drives due to the harsh Minnesota winter this year, so they had a shorter supply of donated blood, and so were very appreciative of us for helping out.
Each year, Student Council plans a fun theme for the drive, and this year it was "March Madness." Lots of people had their favorite jerseys on, and games were broadcasted on the projector where everyone could see it. Highland had so many volunteers that there was almost always a few people giving blood, and many extra people were there for backup. This year was definitely one of the biggest blood drives that Highland has had.
Donating blood is a serious matter and there are some rules that cannot be broken if you decide to donate blood:
You must be 16 years old
If you are 16 you and your guardians need to fill out a parent consent form
Males must be at least 5 feet tall and weigh 110 lbs
Women who are 4'10 must weigh at least 146 lbs
Women who are 5' must weigh at least 138 lbs
Women who are 5'1 must weigh at least 133 lbs
The day before you donate blood you must eat plenty of food and stay hydrated
If you decide to donate blood, there are many opportunities during the day. Donating blood starts second hour, but there is a sign up sheet to sign your name on what time best suits you. The times go throughout the school day until the end of 7th hour, but there is no guarantee on how long the process will take. Oftentimes, for some people, the process of donating blood can be quick and take roughly 10 minutes, but for others, the process could be long and take up to a half hour. The process really depends on the person.
After you have finished donating blood, you still have to wait another 10-15 minutes before you can leave. During this time you are supposed to just sit and relax and eat some of the snacks provided to make sure you are O.K. before you can go. This is also done to prevent sudden movements like standing up too fast, which could lead to you being lightheaded or fainting.
There are some things to consider before you decide to donate blood. One of these major considerations is whether or not you are involved in sports. Donating blood could render you unable to participate in some sports for a short period of time. For example, if you are playing a sport that involves high activity, such as running track, and you decide to donate blood, you would not be able to do track for a short period of time due to the fact that it takes a while to recover from losing a pint of blood. Participating in these sports could cause health risks such as fainting.
However, if you are participating in a sport that does not involve high activity, such as golf, donating blood shouldn't affect your ability to participate in that sport.
Talking to your coach about donating blood is also a good idea before you decide to donate blood.
Another major consideration when it comes to donating blood is your own personal health. If you have any health factors that could affect your ability to donate blood, you should talk to your doctor and guardians to make sure donating blood would be a safe choice for you.
We encourage everyone to participate in a blood drive, whether it's next year at Highland, or somewhere else throughout the year. When Student Council would talk to people who were drawing blood, we asked why they chose to participate today, and almost everyone said that they wanted to give back to the community and give back to people that need it. It really is an amazing opportunity to do good in the world.
Everyone who participates walks out feeling really good about what they did, and proud of helping people. Many people go into it thinking it will be super painful, and a terrible experience, but those that have done it have said that it does not hurt at all, and after a few minutes they were totally comfortable. Giving blood is a really fun experience. You are surrounded by medical technicians that want to help you, and Student Council members are there to help you ease through the process. There are stuffed animals, music, an area with mats to hang out on after your donation, March Madness, fun movies, and tons of snacks!!

In Search of the Roots of American Inequality Exceptionalism: An Analysis Based on Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Data
Janet C. Gornick, Branko Milanovic & Nathaniel Johnson
Published Date October 2022
CONFERENCE HELD March 5-6, 2020
Book: Measuring Distribution and Mobility of Income and Wealth
Book editors: Raj Chetty, John N. Friedman, Janet C. Gornick, Barry Johnson & Arthur Kennickell
PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press
Series: Studies in Income and Wealth
Earlier work has established that the US has exceptionally high inequality of disposable household income (i.e., income after accounting for taxes and transfers). There is a debate whether it is due to an unusually high inequality of market (pre-tax-pre-transfer) income or to weak redistribution. In this paper, we look more deeply at market income inequality, focusing on its main component—labor income—across a group of 24 OECD countries. We disaggregate the working-age population into household types, defined by the number and gender of the household's earners and the partnership and parenting status of its members. We conclude that within-group inequality of labor incomes in the US is, in almost all groups, high by OECD standards. The roots of US inequality exceptionalism are not to be found in an unusual demographic composition, nor in unusually high or low mean incomes of some demographic groups, but in pervasive high inequality within each of these groups.

Q: Retraining an existing machine learning model with new data I have a ML model which is trained on a million data set (supervised classification on text) , however i want the same model to get trained again as soon as a new data comes in (training data).
This process is continuous and i do not want to loose the power of the model's prediction every time it receives a new data set. I do not want to merge the new data with my history data (~1 million samples) to train again.
So the ideal would be for this model to grow up gradually training on all data over a period of time and preserving the intelligence of the model every time it receives a new training set data. What is the best way to avoid retraining all historical data? A Code sample would help me.

A: You want to a look into incremental learning techniques for that. Many scikit-learn estimators have an option to do a partial_fit of the data, which means that you can incrementally train on small batches of data.
A common approach for these cases is to use SGDClassifier (or regressor), which is trained by taking a fraction of the samples to update the parameters of the model on each iteration, thus making it a natural candidate for online learning problems. However, you must retrain the model through the method partial_fit, otherwise it will train the whole model again.
From the documentation

SGD allows minibatch (online/out-of-core) learning, see the partial_fit method

Though as mentioned there are several other estimators in scikit-learn that have the partial-fit API implemented, as you can see in the section incremental learning, including MultinomialNB, linear_model.Perceptron and MiniBatchKMeans among others.

Here's a toy example to illustrate how it's used:
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.model_selection import KFold
from sklearn.linear_model import SGDClassifier

X, y = load_iris(return_X_y=True)

clf = SGDClassifier()

kf = KFold(n_splits=2)
kf_splits = kf.split(X)

train_index, test_index = next(kf_splits)
# partial-fit with training data. On the first call
# the classes must be provided
clf.partial_fit(X[train_index], y[train_index], classes=np.unique(y))

# re-training on new data
train_index, test_index = next(kf_splits)
clf.partial_fit(X[train_index], y[train_index])

A: What you are looking for is incremental learning, there is an excellent library called creme which helps you with that.
All the tools in the library can be updated with a single observation at a time, and can therefore be used to learn from streaming data.
Here are some benefits of using creme (and online machine learning in general):
Incremental: models can update themselves in real-time.
Adaptive: models can adapt to concept drift.
Production-ready: working with data streams makes it simple to replicate production scenarios during model development.
Efficient: models don't have to be retrained and require little compute power, which lowers their carbon footprint
Fast: when the goal is to learn and predict with a single instance at a time, then creme is a order of magnitude faster than PyTorch, Tensorflow, and scikit-learn.

How and where to manage job BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_X?
Do you guys have any idea where to trigger this job : BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_X ?
Is this job : BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_X being triggered automatically whenever you save the "Business Process Monitoring" configuration (configured with proper setting on Monitor Schedule.) ?
Besides, realized the run time of this job : BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_X in my R/3 system is varies time to time..From the job log, it reading different Monitoring Object for different jobs..... may I know how to control the job to read specific Monitoring Object , for example :IMIDOC01? Is this controlled by the business processes that I defined (to be monitored) in the SOLMAN ?
The Job BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_X should be triggered at managed systems.
Please refer SAP Note No. 1300420 for more details and troubleshooting.
Regarding on the job, BPMon trigger the job automatically if you use monitoring object with background data collection.
The job is scheduled when BPMon is activated (every 5 min).
In your monitoring object (let's say, document monitoring "purchase order"), you can specify when the data collection should be run and how (online/background).
in satellite system after 2 AM.
(every 5 min, job is running, but since there is no necessity to do specific data collection, it finish quickly. But when it reach 2 AM, then the job needs to trigger data collection for purchase order, thus runtime of the job bit longer than other case).
That is why, the runtime of this job become different. (Basically this comes from the setting of your monitoring objects).
In your description, you mentioned "IMIDOC01". This object comes from IDoc monitoring. (IDoc monitoring is bit special). When you setup IDoc monitoring, it is scheduled to use background job and minimum frequency is every 15min. So if you use IDoc monitoring, it is designed to use background data collection framework by default.
So when you activate BPMon in solman, the job is automatically scheduled in satellite system. (If you do not change the frequency, then I guess every 15 min, IDoc data collection is conducted.).
You can also find out this kind of information in following document.
Trouble shooting guide BPMon. I recommend you to check page 15&16.
(Page 16 decries exact behavior on the job).
Hope this information help your understanding.
An we are not able see any data in the Dashboards of Solman.
We are Solman 7.1 SP13.
Is that possible for us to configure the "job class" of BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_X ?
What I described just apply the monitor run on application monitor framework.
So back ground job monitor is not relevant. BPMon background job monitor run different framework. So it just run via online mode. And you only gave to option (critical/non critical) for data check interval.
IDoc monitoring run on application monitor framework. In old setup session 15 min background data collection was default setting. But in new web based setup screen, default setting just gone.

Goa Lions May Not Play at Indian Poker League (IPL)
The Match Indian Poker League (Match IPL) may see itself all the poorer for the refusal of Goa Lions, a noted poker squad, to participate. According to official news, Goa Lions are pulling out of the competition over the League's failure to comply with pre-determined organizational criteria.
The Rift Between Goa and Match IPL
The Match Indian Poker League (Match IPL) will not see Goa Lions participate in the event, and the owners of the team, Ability Games Pvt. Ltd. have explained why. According to Ability Games, Match IPL is obliged to set up an auction for poker players as well as introduce electronic devices allowing events to run smoothly and as intended.
9 Teams. 2 Days. 1 Winner.
It's time to show your support! Comment and tag your favourite team participating at Season 3 of #MatchIPL. #PokerRajMatchIPL #PokerIsASport pic.twitter.com/yrArAAEIUz
— Match IPL (@matchIPL) October 15, 2018
However, Match IPL has reportedly failed to meet both obligations, which has prompted Goa Lions to signal their reluctance to participate in the League in its current format. With the event drawing to a start on October 23, Match IPL has failed to deliver on some of its basic promises, AG claims.
Ability Games have elaborated that they hold Match IPL's founder Raj Kundra responsible for the latest turn of events. Instead of the pre-agreed electronic device, players will have to compete using physical decks. Despite the League's track record of successfully running events, Ability Games are not content.
At Odds for the Entry Fee
Ability Games has also requested that Viaan Industries, the company which hosts the event, to pay the entry fee for the team. What followed was a firm refusal which prompted AG to argue that it would not join the competition under any other circumstances.
The Match IPL then sent the team a notice that their participation had been terminated. However, AG didn't intend to leave matters and took legal actions, scheduling a hearing. This took an interesting turn of events, as AG was ordered to cover the tournament's fee, which amounts to $68,218.
However, the court has not yet ruled which party is in the right. If AG is found to have withdrawn their participation reasonably, then they would be returned the entry fee. However, if Match IPL comes out in the clear, then Goa Lions will have to play well and outpace their competitors to make sure they make their investment worth it.
Rather than dodging a difficult question, Kundra also explained why the company had decided to switch back to physical decks, as a software-related issue has made the deployment of reliable poker system impossible in relation to the deadline. Besides, Kundra is aware that poker is becoming a big sport in India and he seems disinclined to defame the game or hosts.
The decision that Match IPL took was also after the League had consulted with team owners who had agreed to the proposed alternative.
As the facts stand, AG may have a difficult time arguing their case in front of an arbitrator.
Poker in India has been gaining traction. Despite opposition in some states, large-scale events have been allowed to take place. There are also established online rooms which allow Indians who seek to make a living off the game to pursue their interest in full.
While legal spats may occur between different parties involved in the game, its overall prospects are promising.

Q: Enterprise Architect with SVN I am currently working on a software that consists of numerous components (around 10,000 files) that does not use a Version Control System. My mission is to create a graphical representation (UML) of all the deposits of data and their links, using Enterprise Architect, thereby organizing and linking them to an SVN Repository. I want to know if it is possible to use this tool (EA) to connect this representation of data deposits with SVN.
Thanks in advance :)

Attack of the Puppet People (1958)
Aka The Fantastic Puppet People/War of the Puppet People/Six Inches Tall/ I Was a Teenage Doll. Living in the moment is the most important thing. Inexperienced secretary Sally Reynolds (June Kenney) is grateful to her seemingly kind new boss, eccentric expert doll maker, Mr. Franz (John Hoyt), when he introduces her to a dapper young St Louis salesman Bob (John Agar). Little does she know that Franz is really a mad scientist who fights off loneliness with a machine that shrinks people to one sixth of their size forcing them to serve as his living dolls. But when he shrinks Bob after her predecessor Janet (Jean Moorehead) has disappeared, Sally then becomes his victim and she and Bob refuse to be his playthings, eventually escaping into a dangerous world that towers over them... Nobody can hear little people like us! The Amazing Colossal Man is playing at the drive-in and there's something so eerie about Mr Franz's amazing lifelike dolls it would drive a girl crazy with suspicion. George Worthing Yates developed producer/director Bert I. Gordon's story into a fully fleshed screenplay, inspired by The Incredible Shrinking Man, no concept being beyond the ken of AIP in those exploitation-hungry days. The aforementioned Colossal was Gordon's own work, hence the generous clip. Kenney (Teen-Age Doll) is terrific as ever as the innocent but the film is best when Hoyt rationally explains his daft plans; and when Sally and Ben are introduced to their fellow captives – US marine Mac (Scott Peters), teenager Stan (Scott Miller), aspiring pop singer Laurie (Marlene Willis) and a broad called Georgia Lane (Laurie Queen of Outer Space Mitchell), who bathes in a pot of instant coffee granules. From the misleading title to the paucity of effects, this is cheap as chips but deadly serious. This guy takes friendship seriously so he does old puppetmaster (Michael Mack) from the old country a favour that leads to the gang's escape attempt during a very unnerving theatrical debut. That's the director's daughter Susan as the irritating little girl who gives the game away to LAPD Sergeant Patterson (Jack Kosslyn). Don't leave me! I'll be alone

Happy 70th Birthday Richard Gere 31st August 2019!
If Richard Gere is 70 years old, where does that leave the rest of us? Good grief! Musician, dancer, actor, humanitarian, the world's most famous Buddhist after his chum the Dalai Lama, the love object of most women over the age of 35, he's never been the easiest guy for film critics to love. That's because of his perceived narcissism, a kind of enigmatic quality, as if that wasn't the first requirement for a performer: other than having to move, he seems to do nothing much in a scene, except for that tic with his eyes every so often. It is of course all to do with a particular kind of male beauty and affect that screams Movie Star. When he really lets loose, it comes as a surprise, which is why he seemed stuck in people's minds in permanent American Gigolo mode, as though wearing clothes and projecting a tragic LA ennui were his greatest talent – even after he went crazy in Breathless, did understated so well in The Honorary Consul, was to the manner born in The Cotton Club and even went Biblical with King David. Those Eighties films are completely underrated, principally due to critical misperceptions. He had inherited his first great roles from John Travolta's rejections but went on to show his romantic and humorous sides before he could be truly sinister in the brilliant Internal Affairs. Since then he has continued to reveal a large palette of characters and his true hair colour. Above all, he has grace and mystery. And he gives great face. Happy birthday Richard Gere. Love ya loads. Have done, for a long time now. X

Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
Alright, yeah, I think it's some kind of pervert hotel. It's 1969. The El Royale is a run-down hotel that sits on Lake Tahoe on the border between California and Nevada. It soon becomes a seedy battleground when seven strangers – cleric Father Daniel Flynn (Jeff Bridges), soul singer Darlene Sweet (Cynthia Ervio), a travelling vacuum cleaner salesman, Laramie Seymour Sullivan (Jon Hamm), the Summerspring sisters, Emily (Dakota Johnson) and Rose (Cailee Spaeny), the sole staff member on site, manager Miles Miller (Lewis Pullman) and the mysterious Billy Lee (Chris Hemsworth) – all converge on the hotel one fateful night for one last shot at redemption before everything goes wrong… I can't do it. I can't kill no more people. Doesn't your heart go out to actors nowadays? Either they starve themselves on chicken breasts and broccoli to appear as ludicrous superheroes looking deranged from hanger and bodybuilding steroids on the subsequent publicity tour, or they wind up in something like this (or in Hemsworth's case, both), a kind of Tarantinoesque closed-room Agatha Christie mystery trading on well-worn tropes. It's really not right, is it? Seven strangers. Seven secrets. All roads lead here. However this pastiche is cleverly staged (with an actual state border running through the building), impeccably designed (by Martin Whist) and shot (by Seamus McGarvey) and well performed outside that narrow generic style that such material demands. It's overlong but florid and rather fruity with nods to Hitchcock and Lynch and the big reveal is worth waiting for. Written, produced and directed by Drew Goddard. Well, it looks like the Lord hasn't forsaken you yet

Reasons to live give reasons to die. Teenager Starr Carter (Amandla Stenberg) is constantly switching between two worlds – the poor, mostly black neighborhood of Garden Heights where she lives with her parents and brothers and the wealthy, mostly white private school Williamson Prep that she attends with her half-brother Seven (Lamar Johnson). They are in an extreme minority and she has a white boyfriend, Chris (K.J. Apa) and a white best friend, Hailey (Sabrina Carpenter). The uneasy balance between these worlds is soon shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil (Algee Smith) at the hands of a police officer despite his having done nothing except driving while black. Facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her own voice and decide to stand up for what's right while her father Maverick (Russell Hornsby) fears that speaking out will bring down the wrath of local drug dealer King (Anthony Mackie) his former gang leader; and mom Lisa (Regina Hall) tries to keep everyone on the right path ... If you don't see my blackness you don't see me. Sadly that terrific screenwriter Audrey Wells succumbed to cancer on the eve of this film's release, an adaptation of a Young Adult novel (by Angie Thomas) which despite some structural flaws and a somewhat aphoristic and preachy line in virtue-signalling dialogue is a triumph of performance and to a lesser extent, presentation. Stenberg is very good as the protagonist, a girl who struggles with her identity living between two communities but who cannot leave her past behind because she can't forget that's her family, her race, her true self. You can see in this the traces of Boyz in the Hood and the legacy of that film lies in a story twist here: a father who actually sticks with his family following a spell in jail for the drug lord but who tries to change the course of his children's experience by quoting from the Black Power handbook while the kids relate to Tupac (hence the title, from THUG LIFE). It's also about hypocrisy, peer pressure, racism and (dread the term) cultural appropriation. More than anything, it's about doing the right thing. There are some very good narrative bumps – when Starr's policeman uncle Carlos (Common) tells her precisely what goes through a cop's head when he is alone on a traffic stop; when Starr shows Hailey what happens when a hairbrush is mistaken for a gun; and when Tupac's lyrical prediction comes true. The location is not specified but it's stunningly shot by Mihai Mâlaimare Jr and well directed by George Tillman Jr. Violence. Brutality. It's the same story, just a different name

Aquaman (2018)
He is living proof our peoples can co-exist. Once home to the most advanced civilisation on Earth, the city of Atlantis is now an underwater kingdom ruled by the power-hungry King Orm Marius/Ocean Master (Patrick Wilson). With a vast army at his disposal, Orm plans to conquer the remaining oceanic people – and then the surface world. Standing in his way is Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Orm's half-human, half-Atlantean brother, the son of lighthouse keeper Tom Curry (Temura Morrison) and Atlanna Queen of Atlantis (Nicole Kidman) and the true heir to the kingdom's throne. With help from royal counsellor Vulko (Willem Dafoe) who advises caution, and Princess Mera (Amber Heard), who urges him to take on his half-brother, Aquaman must retrieve the legendary Trident of Atlan and embrace his destiny as protector of the deep… I solve my problems with my anger and my fists. I'm a blunt instrument and I'm damn good at it. I've done nothing but get my ass kicked this whole trip. I'm no leader. Technically, the dog days of summer ended two weeks ago but it seems right now like they'll never end. So, to matters nutty and comic book, a film that didn't need to be made, a mashup of every action/superhero trope with ludicrously good visual effects, a plot contrived from many old and new stories and a big surly but charismatic guy obsessed with his mom. So far, so expected. Except that this works on a level that's practically operatic while also plundering sympathies of Pisceans such as myself for creatures like seahorses, who have their own army, not to mention an octopus with a fondness for percussion. Got me right there. And then some – with frogman David Kane reinventing himself as supervillain Black Manta (Yahya Abdul Mateen II), pirates, messages in bottles, gladiatorial combat, wormholes, the centre of the earth … For those who care about this kinda stuff, Arthur/Aquaman first showed up in Batman Vs. Superman and then materialised in Justice League but here he's part of a Freudian under the sea show that's quite batty and compelling. Obviously Dolph Lundgren shows up, as King Nereus. Written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Will Beall, from a story by Geoff Johns, director James Wann and Beall, adapting the Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris story/character. Directed with no-holds-barred gusto by Wan. A total hoot from start to finish about evolution, equality and what lies beneath. Crazy fish people, mostly. Jules Verne once wrote: "Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide… they will come together". That's how my parents met: like two ships destined for each other

Aka Tre passi nel delirio/Histoires extraordinaires. Three stories of hauntings adapted from Edgar Allan Poe. Part 1:"Metzengerstein" directed by Roger Vadim. Are you sure it was a dream? Sometimes you need me to tell you what you did was real. At 22, Countess Frederique (Jane Fonda) inherits the Metzengerstein estate and lives a life of promiscuity and debauchery. While in the forest, her leg is caught in a trap and she is freed by her cousin and neighbor Baron Wilhelm (Peter Fonda), whom she has never met because of a long-standing family feud. She becomes enamored with Wilhelm, but he rejects her for her wicked ways. His rejection infuriates Frederique and she sets his stables on fire. Wilhelm is killed attempting to save his prized horses. One black horse somehow escapes and makes its way to the Metzengerstein castle. The horse is very wild and Frederique takes it upon herself to tame it. She notices at one point that a damaged tapestry depicts a horse eerily similar to the one that she has just taken in. Becoming obsessed with it, she orders its repair. During a thunderstorm Frederique is carried off by the spooked horse into a fire caused by lightning that has struck. Written by Vadim and Pascale Cousin and shot in Roscoff. Part II: "William Wilson" directed by Louis Malle. It is said, gentlemen, that the heart is the seat of the emotions, the passions. Indeed. But experience shows that it is the seat of our cares. In the early 19th century when Northern Italy is under Austrian rule, an army officer named William Wilson (Alain Delon) rushes to confess to a priest (in a church of the "Città alta" of Bergamo that he has committed murder. Wilson then relates the story of his cruel ways throughout his life. After playing cards all night against the courtesan Giuseppina (Brigitte Bardot), his double, also named William Wilson, convinces people that Wilson has cheated. In a rage, the protagonist Wilson stabs the other to death with a dagger. After making his confession, Wilson commits suicide by jumping from the tower of "Palazzo della Ragione", but when seen his corpse is transfixed by the same dagger. Written by Malle, Clement Biddle Wood and Daniel Boulanger. Part III: "Toby Dammit" directed by Federico Fellini. This film will be in color. Harsh colors, rough costumes to reconcile the holy landscape with the prairie. Sort of Piero della Francesca and Fred Zinneman. An interesting formula. You'll adapt to it very well. Just let your heart speak. The modern day. Former Shakespearean actor Toby Dammit (Terence Stamp) is losing his acting career to alcoholism. He agrees to work on a film, to be shot in Rome, for which he will be given a brand new Ferrari as a bonus incentive. Dammit begins to have unexpected visions of macabre girl with a white ball. While at a film award ceremony, he gets drunk and appears to be slowly losing his mind. A stunning woman (Antonia Pietrosi) comforts him, saying she will always be at his side if he chooses. Dammit is forced to make a speech, then leaves and takes delivery of his promised Ferrari. He races around the city, where he sees what appear to be fake people in the streets. Lost outside of Rome, Dammit eventually crashes into a work zone and comes to a stop before the site of a collapsed bridge. Across the ravine, he sees a vision of the little girl with a ball (whom he has earlier identified, in a TV interview, as his idea of the Devil). He gets into his car and speeds toward the void.The Ferrari disappears, and we then see a view of roadway with a thick wire across it, dripping with blood, suggesting Dammit has been decapitated. The girl from his vision picks up his severed head and the sun rises. Written by Fellini and Bernardino Zapponi and adapted from 'Never Bet the Devil Your Head'… Who but Vadim could cast Jane Fonda's own brother as her object of desire? And she's terrific as the jaded sexpot. Delon is marvellous as Poe's ego and id, haunting himself; with Bardot turning up as a peculiarly familiar iteration of what we know and love. And then there's the wonderful Terence Stamp as Toby, the scurrilous speed freak. This portmanteau of European auteurs having a go at Poe is the dog's. Watch it over and over again to pick up on all the connections and beauty within. Uneven, fiendishly sexy, ravishingly brutal, moralistic and really rather fabulous. Makes you wish it was fifty years ago all over again. Oh, no. I'm English, not Catholic. For me the devil is friendly and joyful. He's a little girl.

Hand in Hand (1960)
Aka The Star and the Cross. She seems like a nice girl. You'd never know she was Jewish. Nine-year old Michael O'Malley (Philip Needs) attends with his local priest Father Timothy (John Gregson) and tells him he's killed his best friend … He is an Irish Catholic boy who has formed a close friendship with school pal Rachel Mathias (Loretta Parry), a younger Jewish girl. At first, the two are ignorant of their religious differences until schoolmates raise the issue to Michael and their respective parents keep their own issues with the friendship to themselves. The kids become blood brothers and Michael attends synagogue and Rachel goes to Mass and they realise they have a lot in common. They both want to go to London to meet the Queen and Michael dreams of going big game hunting in Africa and when they have an adventure rafting on a river after crashing into a overhanging branch downstream, Michael thinks Rachel is dead … He's a Jewish mouse. He's mine. This kindly sermon on post-war anti-semitism in Britain is nicely handled by director Philip Leacock from a screenplay by Diana Morgan and Sidney Harmo (based on a story by Leopold Atlas), working with a talented young cast. Leacock had done the race drama Take a Giant Step so had a proven interest in social issues and he also previously worked with kids on The Little Kidnappers and The Spanish Gardener and he gets engaging performances here. The problematic scene when Michael is teased that Jews killed Christ and is then told by the boy that his father doesn't like Catholics either defuses audience tension. Perhaps it's played too innocent, but it's about kids and it has a certain charm. God is love

The Legend of Hell House (1973)
This house – it knows we're here. Elderly millionaire Rudolf Deutsch (Roland Culver) is obsessed with the afterlife and hires sceptical scientist Lionel Barrett (Clive Revill) and his wife Ann (Gayle Hunnicutt) to lead a team into the infamous Belasco House, supposedly haunted by the victims of its late owner, a notorious six-foot five serial killer. Though the rational Barrett does not believe in ghosts, the other members of his group ding, including devout spiritualist Florence Tanner (Pamela Franklin) and psychic medium Benjamin Fischer (Roddy McDowall), who has been in Belasco House before and is the only survivor of a previous visit and has therefore seen what horrors can befall those who enter it... The house tried to kill me – it almost succeeded. Fabled novelist and screenwriter Richard Matheson adapted his own Hell House and transposed it from New England to the old country for financial reasons where it was directed by John Hough (who would also direct the cult Disney horror Watcher in the Woods there a half-dozen years later). This pits science and the rational against the paranormal, with fascinating excursions into the psychosexual – it ain't too often you see a ghost having its way with a young lady. And Franklin's presence, a dozen years after that spectacular classic of a haunting, The Innocents, is a guarantee of this film's integrity and she rewards us with a dazzling performance. Hunnicutt is no less effective although her eroticism is literally in another kind of dimension. Frankly any film that commences with the following statement has me at hello: Although the story of this film is fictitious, the events depicted involving psychic phenomena are not only very much within the bounds of possibility, but could well be true (Tom Corbett, Clairvoyant and Psychic Consultant to European Royalty). The building's negative energy has amazing repercussions for these investigators and McDowall has one of his best roles as an unlikely hero, with an unbilled cameo by one of Brit horror/exploitation's key actors rounding things out as things end rather explosively but paradoxically, giving this a very human affect in a story of things unseen and the detritus of perversion. One of the very best horror films of the Seventies, probably inspired by Aleister Crowley. Shot at Bolney, West Sussex, Blenheim Palace and Elstree Studios. If you're that clever why are you still a prisoner in this house?

Circle of Danger (1951)
It doesn't do to go around sobbing and putting up monuments. American World War 2 veteran Clay Douglas (Ray Milland) arrives in London to find out how his little brother was the only casualty in a British commando operation in occupied France. He follows the trail to Scotland where he meets platoon officer Hamish McArran (Hugh Sinclair) who informs him that most of the men are now dead and he provides him with information to contact the few survivors. Clay encounters children's novelist Elspeth Graham (Patricia Roc) who meets him again back in London where he starts to track down the remaining commandos and uncover what really happened while the pair begin a very uneasy romance … If I were you I'd spank the little bastard – hard. Shot by the great British cinematographers Oswald Morris and Gilbert Taylor, this is a handsome production adapted by Philip MacDonald from his own novel. What it lacks in thrills it makes up for in a deceptive charm and there's a good twist. Along the way we have a cold/hot/cold romance with Roc, whose motives remain a little clouded. Nonetheless it's an interesting insight into necessary deaths in wartime, with the guy Peter Bogdanovich once called the roadshow Cary Grant acquitting himself well in the lead, working with director Jacques Tourneur to turn a vengeful character into a more understanding one. It doesn't stand with Tourneur's best work but there are nice supporting performances by Marius Goring, Naunton Wayne and Dora Bryan. I think Hank was murdered by one of the other commandos in that raid

I can't do this shit sober. Under-appreciated and overburdened suburban moms Amy (Mila Kunis), Kiki (Kristen Bell) and Carla (Kathryn Hahn) rebel against the challenges and expectations of the biggest day of the year: Christmas. As if creating the perfect holiday for their families isn't hard enough, they'll have to do it while hosting and entertaining their own respective mothers (Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines and Susan Sarandon) when they come to visit early, unwanted and uninvited, thwarting all the ladies' plans for a laidback break from all of this as they start redecorating, competing and bitching about their useless daughters … Please God no more pussies. The ladies are back – with a vengeance. And their moms are here too, bringing a psycho(logical) dimension to the antics which are more scatological, bittersweet and episodic this time round as the mother-daughter dynamics are explored in their varying levels of possessiveness, competitiveness and sluttiness. It's not particularly focused and falls between the three stools of the individual dramas but the cast are excellent. Instead of a PTA election we have a carolling competition; instead of a celebrity cameo from Martha Stewart we have Kenny G the godfather of soulful jazz, as Baranski intones; and Wanda Sykes makes a welcome return as the seen-it-all therapist. Other than the innuendo and the work-related seasonal sexploitation (courtesy of the very picturesque Justin Hartley), it's fairly anodyne entertainment but a spinoff with the Bad Grandmas seems likely courtesy of some very shrewd casting.

DOGE is being delisted on c-cex; you may want to sell it or withdraw it.
I think they will delist everything as there is no volume.
When this is resolved could you please tell us everything is OK there?
I don't want anyone here to be misled into thinking anything negative about c-cex based on these inaccurate posts from Slavino.
Yes I will announce it here if I remember.
Any not on the correct chain should be back in your wallet on the proper chain, since the tx never "occurred"
I doubt that they have wallet for each and everyone.
10% of that was on DOGE, so curious why de-listing now.
Do you think the "vacation" last summer took its toll on the exchange?
They have limits for delisting. Limit does not apply for BBP. After delisting is triggered there is no turning back anymore.
During "vacation" they lost all LTC and DOGE because of bug. Those balances are on hold.
There is now volume as people are transferring fund from there.
There has been multiple 51 % hacks on coins listed there too.
Sounds literally like a one-person operation. You can't run an exchange like that.
Checking... I'm waiting a few more blocks for this last high pool record to drop out of todays pool.
If anyone needs to enter a proposal please enter - we have about 1.6 mil left at this point.
Your right, this spam problem is quite severe.
And we also are experiencing a memory pool attack.
Finally however, this next release will definitely be a leisure, and from looking at this attack, this should be the last upgrade we need to fix pog.
Basically we have a couple hackers out there trying to prevent the small users from tithing.
Please everyone keep an eye out for the next leisure upgrade.
My support ticket got response. I was able to withdraw one pending withdrawal.
All deposited and withdrawn BBP during forks are missing still.
Because it must be on the main chain for you to get credit for it at the exchange.
On the withdrawal you just have to ask them to re-send the tx again (they were on the wrong version for a couple days during that period).
If you can get the txid of the withdrawal, just see thats its not visible in getrawtransaction then ask for a re-send saying 'this is not visible on the network' therefore it needs re-sent.
First one is showing on blockchain and in wallet too. This I used for testing transaction.
Second one 30 seconds after first one is missing from both.
They are sent to same address.
It was probably deploy lag, I see 6.83% upgraded now.
Let's anticipate a much lower POG difficulty after 51% upgrade to the new version.
The largest improvement we have now in the pog environment is 100% of the in-pool tithes are legal now. Our biggest issue now is getting everyone to upgrade so the small guys can tithe.
Mac OSX and PPA's are now available.
Seems like our beloved "botnet" is back at it, leeching almost every network block and getting more than 90% of all coin rewards.
btw: for the "Reports -> Block history" the Anonymization does not work.
P.S.: I tested POG with tithe=5 today and it worked quite well as I received quite a large POG payment. However my wallet went "dry" quite quickly (naturally) and this raised the question in me how a new user would ever be able to tithe anything, when the "minAmount" is constantly in the thousands of BBP. That must be quite disappointing.

FEMA Denies Indiana Disaster Request
Monday, September 14, 2015 10:16 AM EDT Updated: Monday, September 14, 2015 01:53 PM EDT
By Andy Ober
The state has advanced $250 million funds to the department to pay off the loan.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied Indiana's request for federal assistance for damage in 19 counties from summer storms and flooding. Governor Mike Pence says the Indiana Department of Homeland Security will pursue an appeal of the decision.
The state says at least 10 deaths and more than $11 million in damages were connected to the storms. The counties included in the request were:Adams, Allen, Benton, Brown, Clark, Fulton, Huntington, Jay, Jefferson, Jennings, Marshall, Newton, Pulaski, Scott, Vermillion, Wabash, Warren, Washington and Wells.
In a release from the state, Pence said, "Our local governments particularly need assistance, so we're going to appeal the decision. These grants will help alleviate further burden on local taxpayers. I've directed the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to continue to gather damage and further documentation. The updated findings will then be presented for federal review."

The Group Process Questionnaire (GPQ), a 55-item rating scale, was developed by Richard Wollert in 1981 to assess perceptions of the frequency of processes occurring in self-help groups (SHGs). The GPQ was first employed by Wollert, Eakins, and Dixon (Note 1) as the primary data collection instrument in an ongoing investigation of urban SHGs. This investigation is one of a small number of empirical studies which have attempted to specify the range of SHG activities. Due to the relatively recent emergence of SHGs as topics of research, and the unique obstacles to research presented by the independent character of these groups, previous discussions of their methods of operation have been primarily theoretical and impressionistic in nature.

Michel Tournier: Gaspard, Melchior et Balthazar (The Four Wise Men)
Tournier once again jumps into myth, this time rewriting the tale of the Three Wise Men and adds a fourth wise man. The legend of the fourth wise man is not new. Henry van Dyke wrote about him, as did Edzard Schaper, whose novel Der vierte König (The Fourth King) apparently was the basis for Tournier's fourth wise man.
Tournier's approach is to take each of the four stories individually. Each of the four has an issue that he wishes to resolve and attempts to do so in his travels. Gaspard is black and, as he says, king, but obsessed with the blonde slave girl, Biltine. When he sees the Star of Bethlehem, he does not, as his astrologer, see a threat to his kingdom, but sees a blonde-haired star that reminds him of Biltine. His obsession with blondness is only resolved when he gets to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Balthazar, King of Nippur, is an art collector and has always felt that his love of the beautiful would help him to be a better king. He collects works of art from around the world but when his personal museum is destroyed by rioters, his life seems destroyed. He changes his quest in life from beautiful works of art to the search for a religious ideal. The third king is Melchior, the Prince of Palmyra, but usurped from his throne. He has traveled the world, searching for help and sustenance. He, of course, abandons his search for an earthly kingdom and replaces it with a search for a heavenly one.
The final king is the most interesting, partially because he is not mentioned in the Bible, but also because his journey is both the longest and the most interesting. Taor, Prince of Mangalore, is initially in search of something relatively prosaic – Turkish delight. He is too late for the birth of Christ and then is thrown into jail. He spends thirty-three years in jail and is just too late for the crucifixion and eats the remains of the Last Supper. However, he changes from being a shallow man to being an ascetic one, receiving his redemption at the end. Tournier's skill is to tell an overtly Christian tale which will work for those who are not Christian. Even if you have doubts about the Christ legend, you cannot but be impressed with Tournier's handling of the story.

BAARA Biological AutomAted RAdiotelemetry system: New technology in ecological fiel studies
JEDLIČKA Petr ČÍŽEK Martin ŘEŘUCHA Šimon BARTONIČKA Tomáš
Faculty of Informatics
Radiotelemetry became an important and often the only possible method to explore specific habits and behaviour of animals, but it has proven to be very demanding and time consuming especially when frequent positioning is required. Our aim was to address this issue by making the process partially automated in order to mitigate the demands and related costs. We have designed and developed a new telemetry system called BAARA (Biological AutomAted RAdiotelemetry system). It consists of two principal components - a tag with transmitter and a tracking station. A set of the tracking stations is deployed in target area and after installation each station picks up signals from transmitters and estimates a distance and direction to the signal source (tagged animal). This information is stored together with a time stamp to a persistent memory so that the log can be later downloaded for further analyses. The station is capable to track up to 30 transmitters on different frequency channels in a sequence with period of 10-20 seconds per channel. An ordinary transmitter that fits within supported frequency band might be used with BAARA, an extra option is usage of concurrently developed programmable transmitter with optimized performance and possibility to customize operational parameters such as precise frequency channel, active duty periods or the transmission parameters. BAARA has been tested within fieldwork explorations of Rousettus aegyptiacus on Cyprus where five stations were deployed on nine spots to cover an area of 80 km2 during three weeks. It has shown that effective range is approximately 1 - 1.5 kilometers depending on terrain profile. Of 24 tagged animals approximately 4000 of location fixes were recorded (compared to 500 from manual telemetry). The study was supported by grants IAA601110905, MSM0021622416.

Russian Trolls Promoted Anti-Vaccination Propaganda That May Have Caused Measles Outbreak, Researcher Claims
By Cristina Maza On 2/14/19 at 3:52 PM EST
World International Affairs Anti-vaxxers Drugs Measles Outbreak
Russian propaganda may be responsible for the persistence of measles as conspiracy theories about vaccinations spread across the Internet, according to researchers.
The same Russian trolls who attempted to provoke racial tensions and influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election were also responsible for spreading propaganda against vaccinations. Their efforts may have helped cause the measles outbreak that infected tens of thousands and killed dozens in Europe last year, researchers told Radio Free Europe.
A 2018 report by the American Public Health Association, titled "Weaponized Health Communication: Twitter Bots and Russian Trolls Amplify the Vaccine Debate," came to a similar conclusion.
"Whereas bots that spread malware and unsolicited content disseminated antivaccine messages, Russian trolls promoted discord. Accounts masquerading as legitimate users create false equivalency, eroding public consensus on vaccination," the report said.
"Health-related misconceptions, misinformation, and disinformation spread over social media, posing a threat to public health. Despite significant potential to enable dissemination of factual information, social media are frequently abused to spread harmful health content, including unverified and erroneous information about vaccines," it continued. "This potentially reduces vaccine uptake rates and increases the risks of global pandemics, especially among the most vulnerable."
A nurse injects a measles vaccine into a boy in a pediatric polyclinic in Kiev, Ukraine, on January 15, 2018. Schools have shuttered and some clinics exhausted their vaccine stocks as a deadly measles outbreak hits Ukraine, where anti-vaccine sentiment and interrupted supplies have led to a resurgence of the virus.

Facebook is now looking for ways to combat disinformation about vaccines being spread on its platform.
The measles virus has resurged in recent years as conspiracy theories about vaccinations have spread online. Most of the new measles cases were in Eastern European and Central Asian countries frequently targeted by Russian disinformation, including Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Romania, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Measles was considered eliminated in the U.S. in 2000 because of vaccines against measles, mumps, and rubella. Nevertheless, cases have increased in the U.S. Public health professionals have called the disease a leading cause of death among children.
The World Health Organization has said that fear of vaccines has become one of the top threats to global health as previously eradicated diseases make a comeback.
"Vaccine hesitancy—the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines—threatens to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease—it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year, and a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved," a World Health Organization report reads. "Measles, for example, has seen a 30% increase in cases globally."
