About Open River Group
The name "Open River" comes from founder Kirill Katalevsky's philosophy as well as his background. Having studied psychology and NLP extensively, Kirill liked the word association with the flow of self-reflection, creating an easy-flowing process and flowing around obstacles. The name is also from Kirill's childhood, when he spent summers kayaking on the river, feeling the motion of the water.
How we got started.
Originally started in 2001 as a consulting firm for technology, Open River Group quickly moved into recruiting for CEOs and their direct reports. For 13 years, we have created a positive, lasting impact for organizations and the executives they thrive under.
We have developed and executed hiring strategies for companies in cloud, advertising (both publisher and agency/brand facing), marketing automation, social media and mobile. Our clients are both private and public companies, in the U.S. and abroad.
"Kirill listens 'between the lines' to understand not only the product, but the personalities and philosophies of all parties."
Meet our leadership team.
Kirill Katalevsky is frequently called when no other recruiter can deliver. His career has spanned many areas of technology, consulting and business, so he deeply understands the people and roles that he matches.
He worked in business development at Apple and Intel, and product management for major players like Cisco and Accenture as well as startups. Early ventures included writing code for a consulting firm, then later developing an early version of job aggregator software. A twist of career karma led to Kirill restructuring the staff at a major tech company, and soon he was specializing in executive recruitment.

Rockies fall to Astros again
SportsMLBColorado Rockies
The Astros, including former Rockie Kazuo Matsui, far left, jump for joy after defeating Colorado 5-3.
By Troy E. Renck | trenck@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: May 14, 2009 at 3:11 p.m. | UPDATED: May 6, 2016 at 9:26 p.m.
So let's just reach into Thursday's swirl and pick out a sequence to explain why the Rockies lost again.
It came in the first, when the beer was still cold and a peanut shell had yet to crunch underfoot. Third baseman Garrett Atkins committed two errors, and the Astros executed a double steal involving burly Carlos Lee to open a three-run lead.
"It was our worst defensive inning of the year," lamented manager Clint Hurdle.
If fixing the defense were the only problem, the 10-game road trip through Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Detroit beginning tonight wouldn't carry such urgency. But the reality is this: After the 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros, the Rockies' season is teetering on the verge of collapse.
They sit seven games under .500, and need the Hubble telescope to see the division-leading Dodgers.
"We have to step it up or we are going to be in a very bad spot," first baseman Todd Helton said. "We have to find ways to win, and we are for sure not doing that right now."
There's never a consistent theme to the Rockies' defeats — on nights they pitch, they don't hit, and when they hit, they don't pitch — which is what makes this disappointing start feel like a trend rather than an aberration.
"This is an opportunity for a new group of guys to fight their way out of this," said Hurdle, who received a vote of confidence from ownership this week.
"I am going to back them and support them. Regardless if people think there is a lack of leadership, this is not a case of a lack of leadership. It's a case of a lack of results. If there's fight in these guys, they need to bring it. And I think there's fight in them."
The first casualty of the poor start is reliever Glendon Rusch, who was placed on waivers after the game, according to major-league sources. He's expected to be replaced by Triple-A left-hander Randy Flores. Bullpens are fluid, if not volatile. Flores might help, but what the Rockies need is deep-rooted consistency from their lineup and their rotation.
Both have shown intriguing flashes, but the 3-5 homestand is indicative of unmet expectations. On Thursday, Jason Hammel worked 5 1/3 innings, allowing just one earned run, and said: "Once you let go of the ball, it's out of your control, and unfortunately we just didn't make the plays today."
But the offense, without shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who sat out as a precaution because of stiffness in his left elbow, waved matchsticks against Wandy Rodriguez. The left-hander struck out a career-high 11 batters.
Without improvement over the next 10 days, the Rockies could find themselves buried. For reference, see last season. Colorado sat 17 games under .500 on June 1 and never drew closer than five games in the division race afterward.
"Everybody keeps saying, 'It's early, it's early,' but we can't keep going like this," catcher Yorvit Torrealba said. "It's tough when you get too far back because even when you win a few in a row, it doesn't really help. We don't want to put ourselves in that position again."

Rockies Recap
Hawkins continues to excel in closer role with Houston
LaTroy Hawkins' career renaissance continues in Houston. Designated for assignment a year ago by the Yankees, he has gone from effective reliever to the Astros' closer over the past 11 months. He struck out Brad Hawpe with the tying run on first base to seal Thursday's victory and earn his fifth save. "I pulled that out of the air," Hawkins said of the devastating slider.
Mr. 2,000.
Todd Helton finished the homestand 11-for-29 to pull within three hits of 2,000. He is trying to become only the fourth active player to record all 2,000 with the same team, a list that includes Derek Jeter.
No Welcome Matt.
Matt Murton suffered a tough day in the cleanup spot, striking out in all three of his at-bats.
Troy E. Renck, The Denver Post
TODAY: Rockies at Pirates, 5 p.m., FSN
At some point, Jorge De La Rosa (0-3, 3.53 ERA) is going to win. He has pitched too well not to — having allowed three earned runs or fewer in five consecutive starts. De La Rosa struck out a career-high 12 in his last outing and had supreme fastball and slider command. Freddy Sanchez is 4-for-5 against the left-hander. Paul Maholm (3-1, 4.06) could represent a panacea for Garrett Atkins. The Rockie has six hits in nine career at-bats off him.
Upcoming Pitching Matchups
Rockies' Aaron Cook (2-1, 5.03 ERA) vs. Pirates' Ian Snell (1-5, 4.50), 5 p.m., FSN

Q: Firebase Hosting - SSL certificate is pointing to another domain with same IP Since morning I am seeing problem with certificate on my custom domain connected to Firebase Hosting. It says my SSL certificate is for www.gimmegimme.gifts. This domain is unknown for me and I am not the owner. It seems it's the same IP address as my hosting is.
My devices are working fine but whenever I try to access custom domain website (www.monmaratelier.sk) with friend's phones/tablets/pc I am unable to even load - I just see SSL error. I guess SSL cert is cached.
Unknown domain:  gimmegimme.gifts - 151.101.1.195 - San Francisco
My Firebase domain:  monmar-1ddc0.firebaseapp.com - 151.101.1.195 - San Francisco
Connected custom domain: monmaratelier.sk -  151.101.1.195 / 151.101.65.195 - San Francisco
I don't see into problematic of networking/hosting/DNS/IP addresses conflict. I already tried contacting support.
What should I do? What could be the issue that Firebase URL directly is working fine but connect custom domain is not?

A: After contacting Firebase support they recommended me to reconnect custom domain because of issue with certificate.
After reconnecting custom domain everything worked as expected and still works to this day.

\section{Introduction}

Establishing the QCD phase diagram at nonzero temperature and density remains one of the outstanding challenges in the theory of the strong interactions. As is well known \cite{Kogut:2004su,Yagi:2005yb}, its structure is relevant for heavy-ion collisions and the creation of the quark-gluon plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and the forthcoming  Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI, for neutron stars and compact objects, and for the early Universe.
From a theoretical perspective, the main obstacle in its determination is that numerical lattice QCD, the prime nonperturbative tool to study QCD, cannot be used in conjunction with standard numerical techniques. Lattice QCD relies on importance sampling, assigning a real and positive number  to each configuration of quarks and gluons.
At nonzero (and zero) temperature but vanishing chemical potential, this approach is indeed possible, since the Boltzmann weight in the QCD partition function is real and positive. The result is a detailed understanding of the crossover between the hadronic and quark-gluon plasma phase as the temperature is increased \cite{Aoki:2006we,Borsanyi:2010cj,Bazavov:2011nk,Philipsen:2012nu}. In recent years, the phase structure has also been studied in the presence of an external magnetic field, relevant for cosmology and noncentral heavy-ion collisions \cite{Kharzeev:2012ph}.
Since the Boltzmann weight remains real and positive, lattice techniques can be applied here as well
\cite{D'Elia:2010nq,Bali:2011qj}.

However, as soon as the baryon chemical potential is nonzero, the quark contribution to the Boltzmann weight  is complex (in the usual formulation), ruling out conventional approaches. This issue is usually referred to as the sign problem or complex-action problem. It is certainly a nontrivial problem, since an incorrect handling of the sign problem results in manifest failure and physically wrong results. This realisation has been around since the first lattice simulations at nonzero chemical potential were carried out, in the 1980s \cite{Barbour:1986jf}.  It is therefore also a persistent problem, for which no definite solution has been found yet.
Interestingly, the sign problem is not specific to QCD but appears in many lattice theories with a mismatch in particle densities, which makes it relevant from a more broader perspective as well.

In this overview, I will first remind the reader of some general observations regarding the QCD phase diagram and the sign problem. Subsequently I will discuss various approaches that have been pursued in recent years and attempt to categorise them according to the underlying principle.
Refs.\ \cite{deForcrand:2010ys,Aarts:2013bla} contain partially complementary reviews of the sign problem in QCD at  finite density.

\section{QCD phase diagram and the sign problem}

\begin{figure}[t]
 \begin{center}

 \caption{Impression of the QCD phase diagram \cite{fig}.}
\label{fig:pd}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

An impression of the QCD phase diagram is given in Fig.\ \ref{fig:pd}. Along the vertical temperature ($T$) axis, the crossover between the hadronic  phase and the quark-gluon plasma can be seen. Recent lattice studies agree that the crossover temperature is closer to 155 MeV than 170 MeV, as indicated in the figure
\cite{Borsanyi:2010cj,Bazavov:2011nk}. Increasing the chemical potential, the thermal crossover may change in a proper first-order phase transition, with a second-order critical endpoint to mark where this happens   \cite{Stephanov:2004wx}.
Along the horizontal chemical potential ($\mu$) axis, transitions to new phases are expected: nuclear matter, various colour superconducting phases   \cite{Alford:2007xm} and a possible quarkyonic phase  \cite{McLerran:2007qj}  (not indicated). Phase transition lines can join in a triple point. Heavy-ion collider experiments probe (or will probe) various regions of the phase diagram, depending on the energy of the collisions.

However, due to the sign problem most features of the phase diagram have not been obtained using lattice methods, but instead follow from general considerations and predictions from effective models (such as Polyakov-loop extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio (PNJL)  \cite{Fukushima:2003fw,Ratti:2005jh} and Polyakov-quark-meson models \cite{Herbst:2010rf}), the functional renormalization group \cite{Braun:2009gm}, Schwinger-Dyson equations \cite{Fischer:2012vc},
or a combination therefore \cite{Fischer:2013eca}.
They have therefore not been established unequivocally.
Of course, at asymptotically high energy scales, asymptotic freedom supports the validity of weak-coupling computations \cite{Vuorinen:2003fs,Kurkela:2009gj,Andersen:2011sf}.

The sign problem appears in the standard lattice formulation of QCD, in which the partition function is written as
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:Z}
Z = \int DU D\bar\psi D\psi \, e^{-S_{\rm YM} - S_{\rm F}}  = \int DU\,  e^{-S_{\rm YM}} \det M.
\end{equation}
Here the gauge links $U$ represent the gluonic degrees of freedom, with the Yang-Mills action $S_{\rm YM}$, and $\psi, \bar\psi$ are the quark fields, with the fermionic action $S_{\rm F} \sim \bar\psi M(U;\mu)\psi$.
The chemical potential appears in the fermion matrix $M$.
In the second expression, the quark fields have been integrated out exactly, resulting in the quark determinant.  It follows from elementary properties of the Dirac operator that the determinant is complex when $\mu$ is real and nonzero,  and satisfies \cite{deForcrand:2010ys}
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:det}
[\det M(\mu)]^* = \det M(-\mu^*),
\quad\quad\quad
 \det M(\mu) =  |\det M(\mu)| e^{i\vartheta},
\end{equation}
i.e.\ it has a complex phase. It can be seen that the determinant is real when the chemical potential is purely imaginary, such that standard simulations are possible in this case \cite{Lombardo:1999cz}.

Lattice QCD has been effective in the crossover region at nonzero temperature  for small chemical potentials, relying on analyticity in $(\mu/T)^2$. In this approach, simulations are carried out at either vanishing or imaginary chemical potential, where the sign problem is absent. Applying a Taylor expansion in $(\mu/T)^2$ requires the calculation of higher-order derivatives of the logarithm of the fermion determinant with respect to $\mu$, i.e.\ of generalised susceptibilities \cite{Gupta:2011ma}.
Even though these quickly become very noisy, the expansion coefficients have been
determined up to the impressive order of $(\mu/T)^8$, and from these the position of the critical endpoint has been predicted, based on an estimate of the radius of convergence of the Taylor expansion \cite{Datta:2012pj}.
This prediction should be contrasted with the conclusion from studies at imaginary chemical potential  \cite{deForcrand:2006pv} and lower-order Taylor expansions \cite{Endrodi:2011gv},
where it is found that the crossover weakens as $(\mu/T)^2$ is increased from zero, making it less likely that the critical point can be found in this way.

The interesting region in the phase diagram with regard to the sign problem is the region at lower and zero temperature. The reason is that in this region it is very well understood what to expect and also what will go wrong when the sign problem is not resolved correctly \cite{Stephanov:1996ki}.
 The onset to nuclear matter at vanishing temperature takes place when the baryon chemical potential equals the nucleon mass (minus the binding energy). For chemical potentials below this onset value, thermodynamic quantities should be independent of chemical potential (at zero temperature). In particular the baryon density has to vanish. The reason is simple: there is not enough energy available to create a baryon. At nonzero temperature, the baryon density is nonzero but Boltzmann suppressed, $\sim \exp[-(m_B-\mu)/T]$, where $m_B$ is a generic baryon mass.
When the sign problem is not correctly taken into account in lattice QCD simulations, this expectation is easily upset. For instance, when the complex phase of the determinant is ignored (phase quenching), one finds, in the case of two quark flavours with equal mass, that the onset takes place at a baryon chemical potential of 3/2 times the pion mass, rather than around the nucleon mass. Since the former is much less than the latter, one observes an early incorrect onset. This feature is well understood: ignoring the complex phase  results in a theory not at nonzero baryon chemical potential, but instead at nonzero isospin chemical potential, which couples to the pion rather than the nucleon \cite{Son:2000xc}. It implies that the inclusion of the complex phase of the determinant is necessary for the exact cancellation of this early onset to take place \cite{Osborn:2005ss,Splittorff:2007ck}. How this happens in lattice QCD simulations is not immediately obvious. It has therefore been dubbed the Silver Blaze problem \cite{Cohen:2003kd}.
Its correct resolution provides a stringent test of the validity of the applied approach \cite{Aarts:2013bla}.

Finally, we mention that the sign problem is regarded as severe when the expectation value of the phase factor in the phase-quenched (pq) theory goes to zero exponentially in the thermodynamic limit. This quantity is given by the ratio of the  partition functions with and without the complex phase \cite{deForcrand:2010ys,Aarts:2013bla},
\begin{equation}
\langle e^{i\vartheta}\rangle_{\rm pq}
= \frac{\int DU\,  e^{-S_{\rm YM}} |\det M| e^{i\vartheta}}{ \int DU\,  e^{-S_{\rm YM}} |\det M|}
= \frac{Z}{Z_{\rm pq}}
=  e^{ -V\Delta f/T},
\end{equation}
 where $\Delta f$ is the difference in free energy densities between the original and the phase-quenched theories and $V$ is the three-volume. From the extensivity of free energies, this exponential behaviour is unavoidable.
 Furthermore, since $\Delta f$ can be reliably computed in chiral perturbation theory, the volume and  temperature dependence is understood precisely \cite{Splittorff:2006fu,Splittorff:2007zh}.
 It follows that approaches based on ignoring the phase are guaranteed to fail for large volumes and/or low temperature. This is for instance the case for reweighting methods \cite{Barbour:1997ej,Fodor:2001au}, in which part of the complex weight, such as the phase of the determinant, is absorbed in the observable,
\begin{equation}
\langle O\rangle = \frac{\int DU\,  e^{-S_{\rm YM}} |\det M| e^{i\vartheta} O}{ \int DU\,  e^{-S_{\rm YM}} |\det M| e^{i\vartheta}}
= \frac{\langle e^{i\vartheta}O\rangle_{\rm pq} }{\langle e^{i\vartheta}\rangle_{\rm pq} }.
\end{equation}
 In the presence of a Silver Blaze problem, the sign problem will certainly be severe, since excessive cancellations are required \cite{Splittorff:2007ck}, see also the review \cite{Splittorff:2006vj}.

In the following I discuss various approaches that have been proposed as complete or partial solutions to the sign problem in recent years and are currently under investigation. Since the sign problem is not unique for QCD, often these approaches are first tested in simpler models, for instance lower-dimensional ones. In particular, the sign problem may also appear in bosonic theories with a nonzero chemical potential and hence the presence of fermionic degrees of freedom is not essential.  I will only discuss a selection of approaches, referring again to Refs.\ \cite{deForcrand:2010ys,Aarts:2013bla} for complementary overviews.

\section{Density of states, histograms}

We start with a set of approaches which stay as close as possible to the original lattice formulation (\ref{eq:Z}), and which go under the headings of density of states,  factorisation or histogram method
\cite{Fodor:2007vv,Anagnostopoulos:2010ux,Ejiri:2013lia}.
 The idea is to evaluate the path integral in two stages, namely by first evaluating a constrained integral where one degree of freedom is fixed and subsequently performing the remaining integral over the resulting probability distribution -- the density of states -- constructed in the first step. The density of the states can be obtained by constructing histograms during the constrained simulation.  Explicitly, if we take as degree of freedom a generic observable $P$, such as the plaquette, action density or  Polyakov loop, the (unnormalised) density of states is given by
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:w}
w(P) =  \int DU\, \delta(P-P') \, e^{-S_{\rm YM}} \det M,
\end{equation}
where $P'$ is the value of $P$ taken during the simulation. The expectation value of $P$ is then determined by the simple integrals
\begin{equation}
\langle P\rangle = \frac{1}{Z} \int dP\, w(P) P,
\quad\quad\quad\quad
Z= \int dP\, w(P).
\end{equation}
Variations of this approach have been discussed several times in the past \cite{Fodor:2007vv,Anagnostopoulos:2010ux}. A recent review on the histogram method can be found in Ref.\ \cite{Ejiri:2013lia}.
 The difficulty is that it is still needed to evaluate the constrained integral (\ref{eq:w}) with a complex weight at nonzero chemical potential. On small volumes, this may be handled by reweighting \cite{Fodor:2007vv}. Another possibility is to combine the approach with the Taylor expansion of the determinant in $(\mu/T)^2$ \cite{Ejiri:2007ga}.

It is also possible to use as observable the angle of the phase factor of the determinant itself \cite{Ejiri:2007ga}. We can then write
\begin{eqnarray}
w(\vartheta) =&&\hspace*{-0.2cm}  \int DU\, \delta(\vartheta-\vartheta') \, e^{-S_{\rm YM}} \det M \nonumber\\
=&&\hspace*{-0.2cm} \int DU\, \delta(\vartheta-\vartheta') \, e^{-S_{\rm YM}} |\det M |  e^{i\vartheta'}  = e^{i\vartheta} w_{\rm pq}(\vartheta).
\end{eqnarray}
 The advantage is now that the density of states for the angle can be determined in the theory without the complex phase, i.e.\ in the phase-quenched theory. In Refs.\ \cite{Ejiri:2007ga,Saito:2013vja}
this approach is pursued using a cumulant expansion, focussing on the assumption that the phase-quenched density $w_{\rm pq}(\vartheta)$ is a simple Gaussian, so that only the lowest-order cumulant, the variance $\langle \vartheta^2\rangle_c$, has to be determined. However, this assumption has been critically assessed recently:
Ref.\ \cite{Greensite:2013gya} finds that nongaussian corrections are present in general. Even though these corrections are suppressed by powers of the volume in $w(\vartheta)$, they contribute at leading order to the final result obtained by integration over $\vartheta$. Therefore it is mandatory that the density of states is determined with great precision over a wide range \cite{Greensite:2013gya}. Here improvements to the original Wang-Landau algorithm \cite{WL} might be of use \cite{Langfeld:2012ah} and it has been conjectured that those should be applied to theories with a severe sign problem \cite{Langfeld:2013xbf}.

\section{Lefschetz thimbles, complex Langevin}

The partition function  (\ref{eq:Z}) is a path integral with a complex integrand. Simpler complex integrals are often evaluated by methods of steepest descent or by stationary-phase approximations, with saddle points situated in the complex plane rather than on the original real manifold, using holomorphic properties of the integrand and the ensuing freedom to change the integration contour. This suggests that it makes sense to view the path integral more generally and allow the degrees of freedom to become complex-valued. For QCD this implies that the gauge links $U$ are no longer limited to be in SU(3), but can now take value in the complex extension SL(3, $\mathbb{C})$.
This is easily achieved. Writing $U = e^{i\lambda_a A_a}$,
 with $\lambda_a$ the Gell-mann matrices, $A_a$ is real-valued for SU(3), but complex-valued for  SL(3, $\mathbb{C})$. One consequence is that the links are no longer unitary, but instead satisfy Tr $UU^\dagger/3\geq 1$  \cite{Aarts:2008rr}.
In this approach, the partition function therefore keeps its original form, but the paths of integration are allowed to be more general.

This idea has been pursued in the past few years using two different approaches: stochastic quantisation (or complex Langevin dynamics) \cite{Parisi:1984cs,Klauder:1983}
and integration along Lefschetz thimbles \cite{Cristoforetti:2012su}.
 I will first discuss the second approach, which closely follows the method of steepest descent and has a long history in complex integrals, such as the Airy function \cite{Witten:2010cx}.
The goal is to deform the path of integration, passing through the classical saddle points, such that the imaginary part of the action (which includes the logarithm of the quark determinant in the case of QCD) is constant.
The union of all the paths passing through a saddle point make up a thimble ${\cal J}$. Since the imaginary part of the action is constant along the thimble, it can be taken out of the integral.
For one degree of freedom and one saddle point, this amounts to writing
\cite{Cristoforetti:2012su,Mukherjee:2013aga}
\begin{eqnarray}
Z =&&\hspace*{-0.2cm} \int dx\, e^{-S(x)} = e^{-i{\rm Im} S_{\cal J}} \int_{\cal J} dz\, e^{-{\rm Re} S(z)}
\nonumber\\
=&&\hspace*{-0.2cm}  e^{-i{\rm Im} S_{\cal J}} \int ds\, J(s) e^{-{\rm Re} S(z(s))},
\quad\quad\quad J(s) = x'(s)+iy'(s).
\end{eqnarray}
 In the second line the thimble is parameterised explicitly in terms of $z(s)=x(s)+iy(s)$.  Due to the curvature of the thimble, there is a complex jacobian $J(s)$, leading to a residual sign problem, but this may be milder than the original one  \cite{Cristoforetti:2012su}. Clearly more dangerous is the situation where more than one saddle point and associated thimble contributes: in that case there are  relative phase differences between the contributions from the thimbles, yielding again a possible severe sign problem.
 Based on universality, it has been conjectured that a single saddle point (e.g.\ the perturbative one) suffices \cite{Cristoforetti:2012su}.
Besides in toy models, so far the method has been tested in four-dimensional scalar field theory at nonzero chemical potential \cite{Cristoforetti:2013wha,Fujii:2013sra},
 where agreement with previous results \cite{Aarts:2008wh,Gattringer:2012df} has been found.

\begin{figure}[t]

\label{fig:gc}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

In stochastic quantisation/complex Langevin dynamics  \cite{Parisi:1984cs,Klauder:1983}, the complexified manifold is explored in a different manner, namely by using a  stochastic  process with complex drift terms, derived from the complex action. During this process, a real and positive probability distribution is effectively sampled.
For one degree of freedom with a complex action, this means
\begin{equation}
 Z = \int dx\, e^{-S(x)} \to \int dxdy\, P(x,y),
 \quad\quad\quad
 P(x,y) \geq 0.
 \end{equation}
One problem is that this distribution $P(x,y)$ is not known a priori, but is constructed during the stochastic evolution. However, the most important hurdle is that  it is not guaranteed that the process will converge to the physically correct result and incorrect convergence has indeed been observed \cite{Ambjorn:1986fz,arXiv:1005.3468}. During the past years, this conundrum has been clarified: it is now understood that correct results are obtained provided the distribution is well localised in the extended manifold and drops sufficiently fast at large distances from the real manifold \cite{arXiv:0912.3360,Aarts:2011ax}.
This insight has been used in a constructive manner for gauge theories, where SL($N, \mathbb{C}$) gauge cooling has been proposed as a tool to control the distribution sampled during the process \cite{Seiler:2012wz}. This idea is sketched in Fig.\ \ref{fig:gc} (left) and demonstrated in Fig.\ \ref{fig:gc} (right) for an effective SU(2) model with a complex coupling, where it is shown that gauge cooling, possibly adaptive   \cite{Aarts:2013uxa}, controls the distance from the unitary submanifold, for which Tr $UU^\dagger/2=1$ in this case.
More details on complex Langevin dynamics can be found in the reviews  \cite{Aarts:2013bla,Aarts:2013uxa}.

Complex Langevin dynamics with gauge cooling has been applied successfully to QCD in the presence of static quarks at nonzero density \cite{Seiler:2012wz}.
Recently, first results for QCD with two and four flavours of light quarks have appeared as well \cite{Sexty:2013ica}. This is a major step forward, since it is the first simulation with light quarks at finite gauge coupling directly at nonzero density. The method successfully describes the transition from zero density all the way to saturation (the maximal density on the lattice). Very recently, preliminary results for SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in the presence of a $\theta$ term have also appeared \cite{Bongiovanni:2013nxa}
 and agreement with expected results from imaginary $\theta$, where the sign problem is absent, has been found. These results strongly suggest that complex Langevin dynamics with gauge cooling deserves to be studied more intensely.

There are a  number of open questions. Gauge cooling appears to be effective only when the gauge coupling is not too small, i.e.\ on fine lattices \cite{Seiler:2012wz}. This is not a problem in principle, but large lattice volumes are then required to avoid finite-size effects. It would also be useful to understand the origin of this finding. Furthermore, the presence of the logarithm of the determinant spoils the holomorphicity of the action. It has been argued that this results in an ambiguity for small quark masses, when the branch cut of the logarithm is crossed frequently  \cite{Mollgaard:2013qra}. This certainly needs to be understood better.

 }
\label{fig:comp}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Complex Langevin dynamics and the Lefschetz thimble approach both explore a larger complexified manifold to evade the sign problem. It is therefore interesting to compare the two approaches. Recently this has been done for a simple complex integral, where most results can be obtained analytically \cite{Aarts:2013fpa}. The partition function is
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:quartic}
Z = \int_{-\infty}^\infty dx\, e^{-S(x)},
\quad\quad\quad\quad
S(x) = \frac{\sigma}{2}x^2 +\frac{\lambda}{4}x^4,
\end{equation}
with a complex mass parameter $\sigma$. In Fig.\ \ref{fig:comp} (left) the distribution $P(x,y)$ sampled during the Langevin process is shown \cite{Aarts:2013uza}. It is strictly zero  when $y$ is larger than 0.3029 (for this choice of parameters), and based on the mathematical justification \cite{arXiv:0912.3360,Aarts:2011ax},  the method is then reliable. The thimble passing through the saddle point at the origin is shown in Fig.\ \ref{fig:comp}  (right). Also indicated is the region where $P(x,y)$ is largest. It is clear that the distribution and the thimble follow each other closely \cite{Aarts:2013fpa}. One may therefore wonder how generic this is and whether this observation can be used constructively.

\section{Clusters, subsets, fermion bags}

Let us go back again to the partition function (\ref{eq:Z}). The reason importance sampling is not applicable
is that configurations come with a complex weight. However, it might be possible that for certain carefully selected sets of configurations, the combined weight is real and positive. The challenge then is to identify those sets (or clusters, subsets, bags, $\ldots$) and perform the path integral in two stages: first analytically construct the sets, and then numerically integrate over those using importance sampling, which is now possible since the combined weights are real and positive. This is the basic idea, successfully applied in the meron-cluster algorithm some time ago \cite{Chandrasekharan:1999cm}.

In recent years, this notion has been pursued in various forms. Here I will discuss two implementations. In the gauge theory without quarks, an important role is played by the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ centre symmetry, a global symmetry which is spontaneously broken at high temperature.
Both the gauge action and the Haar measure in the path integral are invariant under centre transformations, $U\to e^{2\pi i k/3}U$, $k=0,1,2$. One can therefore trivially form a subset  identifying the configurations related by centre symmetry.
 This gets more interesting in the presence of quarks, since the quark contribution is not invariant under the symmetry and hence the configurations obtained by centre transformations differ. Nevertheless, they are admissible configurations and can be chosen to form a subset. This idea has been tested various times, e.g.\ in the three-state Potts model \cite{Alford:2001ug,Kim:2005ck}
and in QCD with static quarks \cite{Aarts:2001dz}. Recently a detailed analysis was given for QCD in one dimension and it was shown that the sign problem can be eliminated completely for five flavours or less  \cite{Bloch:2013ara}.
 A slightly different subset construction eliminates the sign problem in random matrix theory, an effective theory for QCD at low temperature and in the Silver Blaze region before onset \cite{Bloch:2011jx,Bloch:2012bh}.

A second manifestation of this idea has been developed for theories with fermions, interacting either via a four-fermion interaction or via the exchange of  a bosonic field \cite{Chandrasekharan:2009wc,Chandrasekharan:2011mn,Chandrasekharan:2012va}.
 Here the idea is to avoid integrating out the fermions in one sweep, yielding the determinant, but instead take a more measured approach and integrate out the fermions in such a way that obvious fermion bags, with a positive weight, can be identified.  In absence of a unique way to identify those fermion bags, guidance can come from strong and weak coupling expansions. One model to which this idea has been applied successfully, is the massless Thirring model in three dimensions \cite{Chandrasekharan:2011mn}. While ordinary Monte Carlo algorithms have great difficulty in approaching the chiral limit, the fermion bag approach works particularly well in this case. What is lacking so far is the inclusion of nonabelian interactions. More details can be found in the recent review \cite{Chandrasekharan:2013rpa}.

\section{Change in integration order/representation}

The lesson from the previous section, especially the fermion bags, is that the appearance of the sign problem depends on the way in which the path integral is evaluated, i.e.\
the order of  integration. This is in fact more generally true: the sign problem can be severe in one representation of the path integral but manifestly absent in another. Again this idea is not new, it was already seen in the strong-coupling limit of QCD, where the gauge links are integrated out first and the remaining fermionic theory is written as a sum over gauge-invariant monomers, dimers and closed baryon loops \cite{Karsch:1988zx}. The fermion determinant never appears and the sign problem is absent, or at least much milder than before.
This observation has been successfully combined with worm-type algorithms \cite{Prokof'ev:2001zz},  allowing for a more efficient sampling \cite{deForcrand:2009dh}.

For bosonic theories, this idea has been developed further, by performing
strong-coup\-ling expansions to all orders, under the name of dual formulations \cite{arXiv:1104.2503}. Here the original field variables are interchanged for worldline and flux variables, with manifestly real and positive weights. This has been carried out  for a number of models, including abelian gauge theories \cite{Mercado:2013ola}. The main obstacle is again the inclusion of nonabelian interactions, see Ref.~\cite{cglat} for a recent review.

Finally, this notion is also relevant for effective three-dimensional models, constructed using combined strong coupling and hopping parameter (heavy quark) expansions, which can subsequently be studied using flux representations \cite{arXiv:1104.2503,Fromm:2011qi,Mercado:2012ue}, complex Langevin dynamics \cite{KW,Aarts:2011zn,Fromm:2012eb}, or even ordinary Monte Carlo simulations combined with reweighting, since the sign problem is milder than in the original formulation \cite{Fromm:2011qi}.

\section{Outlook}

So far the QCD phase diagram has not been determined nonperturbatively using lattice QCD, due to the sign problem at finite density.
In an attempt to solve this longstanding problem, a variety of ideas is being pursued, following logically independent starting points. Here I discussed a selection of those, based on the ideas of constrained simulations, holomorphicity, partial summations and changes in representation.
Many of the techniques are still in development for QCD and hence are being tested in theories that are simpler than QCD, but nevertheless suffer from a sign problem. Establishing various (competing) approaches in parallel is very stimulating, since trust in new methods is greater when existing results can be reproduced. Due to the sign problem,  there is often no outstanding benchmark result:  a consistency between results obtained with new methods is then the best one can hope for.

Returning to QCD, we note that heavy quarks can be included via a hopping parameter or $1/m$ expansion. Here first results for the phase diagram are starting to appear, employing e.g.\ the histogram method \cite{Ejiri:2013lia} and the strong-coupling expansion \cite{Fromm:2012eb}. A comparison between results obtained with such different approaches would help in gaining confidence in those.
QCD with light quarks is considerably harder: here first results have been obtained with complex Langevin dynamics
\cite{Sexty:2013ica}.

When you call the national emergency assistance line you'll get assessed over the phone then you'll be invited to a local Salvos to collect that assistance.
"In the past people would come, collect the assistance and go," Rachel explains.
"We realised that people are really isolated and their needs are greater then what we were providing.
"We wanted to create a space for people to belong and contribute to."
An unemployment rate of 13.4% puts greater pressure on local charities, approachable services like Salvos Connect look after a huge chunk of people in Batemans Bay who are living with an unreasonable level of discomfort and distress.

The way Rachel's eyes light up when she talks about her job says everything about her purpose, she loves to help people and see them grow stronger.
"We have a hairdresser doing free haircuts every Wednesday," she says.
"We also have a retired home economics teacher who comes in and cooks really low-cost meals."
On a busy day, the Salvos see around 30 people, for some is the first time they have accessed a community service.
The key to making people feel comfortable at the Salvos is the giant puzzle they have. It stays out on the table for weeks until it's finished.
David Parker, who was a theological lecturer for 30 years sees the work he does as a volunteer as adding greater meaning to his life.
"I enjoy helping those who have trouble helping themselves," David says.
"My job here is to talk and I'm good at that.
"The puzzle is a great way to draw people in and break ice when they arrive."
Salvos Connect also offers eligible people with interest-free loans up to $1500 to prevent people from going into further hardship with payday loans.
"I had a conference call this morning about the possibility of increasing this amount so fingers crossed," Rachel says, who recently had a heart-stopping moment when a gentlemen came in and gave her a great big hug, she was taken by surprise because she had no idea who he was.
"I soon realised who it was and was so taken back by his transformation through a number of services partnering together in Batemans Bay, including ours," says Rachel.
"He was physically unrecognisable to me, that was how big the transformation was.
"When I see that I think, there's something great happening here."
The Salvation Army at Batemans Bay is on the Old Princes Highway, phone 4472 9644, free community hair cuts and meals happen each Wednesday between 9:30 and 11:30.

This is what genuine Christianity and faith is all about: to help people get back on their feet and help their self worth before the Good Lord. A blessed relief of good news after all the negative views of the Christian faith a la Israel Folau. Our God saves before any judgment comes about and even then it ever remains a divine prerogative.


The Yellow Candy Hogfish is a very colorful and peaceful Hogfish. Yellow Candy Hogfish have a long and slender body that is mostly yellow in color and has some strong horizontal red stripes doing down the length of its body. Yellow Candy Hogfish also have two black spots on their bodies, one behind their head and the other near its tail, hence their nickname.
Yellow Candy Hogfish reach a maximum adult size of around 4 inches and need to kept in tanks that are at least 30 gallons in size. Yellow Candy Hogfish are very peaceful fish and shouldn't bother other fish, coral or inverts in your tank. This makes them a great addition to reef tanks. Yellow Candy Hogfish can be aggressive to other hogfish, so if you want multiples in the tank, it's best to introduce them at the same time.
Yellow Candy Hogfish do the best when added to tanks that have lots of established live rock. The rock will provide them areas to take shelter in if spooked and also be home to tons of little inverts that the Yellow Candy Hogfish can eat between feedings.
Please feel free contact us at any time if you have any questions about the Yellow Candy Hogfish and if it's the right fish for your tank.

Most of you, if not all of you have heard or maybe used a Schwarzkopf product. Whether it'd be shampoo, conditioner, volume powder, oil or sprays.
Being the legends that they are, Schwarzkopf Australia ran an online promo and gave away 120 gift packages to lucky instagramers who tagged @schwarzkopf in their photos and used the hashtag #createyourstyle from 7th of May 2018 to 3rd of June 2018.
I was one of the lucky winners who received a hair care pack!
So before I was to do my review, I thought I'd use the products for a couple of weeks to get an accurate and fair review. I mean I could've reviewed after the first use but naaaaaaah.
Extra Care Hair Repair - Fibre therapy contains keratin serum and omega flex to help reconstruct broken hair bonds due to colouring and styling. To be completely honest with you, I had never heard of this product until they sent it to me and I am so glad that they did. My hair has suffered tremendously over the past 7 years from bleaching and dying and needs as much care as possible. The old shampoo I was using was leaving my hair even more dry and frizzy even though it advertised "hydration". Since using this product, I'm slowly seeing my hair come back to life. After just two washes, it already looks less dry and a lot softer than before. However, I've noticed that my hair gets knots a lot more since I've started to use the products but I don't mind because it's also less oily which means I don't have to wash my hair as much as I used to!
Daily Oil Elixir is a precious caring oil for all hair types. It helps make hair supple and shiny. Anyone who knows me well would know that I use hair oils after every wash and when I'm styling my hair. When wet, hair oils soften and help repair the hair and when dry, it makes hair shiny and soft. This particular hair oil is a lot thicker than all the ones I've used before which means that I have to ensure to spread it evenly. I usually use oils after brushing my hair and then brush it again to make sure that to spread it around properly.
Extra care hair repair leave-in conditioner also contains keratin serum. It helps to nourish the hair and makes it easier to detangle it. Before using the hair oil, I usually brush my hair through and that would take maybe a good 10-15 minutes (my hair gets ridiculous knots). A few sprays of the leave-in conditioner before brushing helps undo those knots a lot quicker so that I can spend more time doing something else (Like pat dogs).
Ultra light Matt texture volume powder promises a 24hr hold and unbelievable volume. I have actually never used a volume powder before. The only time I had volume powder in my hair was when I got it styled at the hairdressers and they knew that my curls would weight my hair down so they added a bit of powder to help hold it all up. This one does the trick too! It is light and is so easy to use (was a bit scared to try it at first). Definitely recommend!
I would like to say a massive thank you to Schwarzkopf for allowing me to try all these awesome products and for letting me be part of the celebration!
To be honest with you, I just have different interests and can't make up my mind about anything.


Being the first week of Spring, we're loving looking at botanical prettiness and came across this beautiful thing: the Belle Epoque Florale Edition by Japanese artist Makoto Azuma, recently unveiled in Tokyo by Perrier-Jouët.
The artist created the Belle Epoque Florale Edition as a tribute to Emile Gallé's iconic Art Nouveau design. The floral concept features a suspended floral flourish decorated with white Japanese anemones.
Emile Gallé chose white Japanese anemones for the original design in 1902. He had a great passion for botany and deeply admired Japanese art, which often draws its inspiration from nature.
'I wanted to make something extraordinary, taking inspiration from the sensation of champagne inside the mouth, and the delicate movement of the ivy and leaves with a special attention and tribute given to Emile Gallé's anemones,' said Makoto.

Apple's Wearables Business Has Hit This Arbitrary Milestone
By Evan Niu
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has a strange and frustrating way of characterizing its growing businesses. Management often prefers to compare various segments to different rankings within the Fortune 500, which makes about as much sense as measuring revenue using the distance to the moon. Earlier this year, Apple said its wearables business was "approaching" the size of a Fortune 200 company.
At the time, No. 200 on the 2018 Fortune 500 was Aramark, with $14.6 billion in revenue, but the publication has since released the 2019 list. This year, No. 200 is General Mills, with $15.7 billion in revenue. The threshold went up modestly, but Apple's wearables segment has hit the mark.
UBS put out a research note this week, with analyst Tim Arcuri estimating that wearables revenue growth contributed "materially more" to overall growth than the services business for the first time. CEO Tim Cook had noted that Q3 was an "absolutely blow-out quarter for wearables," with revenue growth of "well over 50%." The wearables business reached the size of a Fortune 200 company on a trailing-12-month (TTM) basis, Cook added.
Apple aggregates wearables revenue in its broader wearables, home, and accessories segment, which brought in $5.5 billion in revenue last quarter. AirPods demand remains "phenomenal," according to Cook, thanks in part to a minor refresh earlier this year. There may still be upside, as Arcuri estimates that the AirPods attach rate is still only around 7%, suggesting that plenty of iPhone owners have yet to buy the wireless earphones.
Apple will sell 40 million sets of AirPods this fiscal year, which may grow to 51 million in fiscal 2020. That could potentially push the AirPods installed base up to 100 million next fiscal year, before going on to generate $10 billion in sales in fiscal 2021, according to Arcuri's modeling. Adoption may also tick higher as the tech titan continues to add more health-oriented functions to future generations of the product.
UBS reiterated its buy rating on Apple shares alongside a $235 price target.
Wearables TTM revenue between $15.7 billion and $18.6 billion
There's another way to analyze Cook's comparisons. Cook had also said, "When you step back and consider wearables and services together, two areas where we have strategically invested in the last several years, they now approach the size of a Fortune 50 company."
No. 50 on the 2019 list is Prudential Financial, with $63 billion in revenue. Apple's TTM services revenue is currently $44.38 billion, which means wearables revenue is greater than $15.7 billion and approaching $18.6 billion. If only Apple would just disclose wearables revenue outright instead of making investors constantly cross-reference the Fortune 500. With as important as that business is becoming, more transparent disclosures would be a welcome move.

This is excellent work, Astrid!
How brilliant, Astrid. I love this from where we live!!!
Your combination of work and handwriting -result is wonderful!
Many thanks for your mail with the links!
Picturit: You are so welcome, Philine. I knew you would like those.
Picturit: Thank you, he will finish it in an hour or so..
Picturit: I am glad it made you smile. I could not resist not taking this scene.
The Gemeente Gorinchem received a complaint and now the man is removing the graffiti from the wall.
How cool is this - we all yearn for our name in lights - or at heights.
Picturit: It seems like that.
Picturit: Those windows are just glass not to be opened. There is scaffolding at some parts of the buildings.
So that's how you get your watermarking on your images. I always assumed that it was some sort of clever work un Photoshop. I would not mark my car too close to the work area in case it gets splattered with something.


I absolutely loved judging Writers of Kern's Pitch Contest. Each of these submissions were given at the conference without preparation. I do have a confession, I loved reading the worst pitches. It truly takes talent to purposely write badly.
A young troublemaker accidentally turns her town into stone and must embark on the dangerous journey of defeating the Beast on the Mount in order to reverse the spell and get back to her family.
Years after witnessing the brutal slaughter of her family by a blood-thirsty dictator, a young Haitian girl attempts to escape the racially divided society by befriending a highly ranked soldier.
Young love dares to overcome the social stigma and complications of mental illness while searching for a missing teen.
This may not be the best of books, but on the other hand, it may not be the worst of books either…I think.
Set in a recent revolutionary episode in an exotic foreign locale, the English milord foils his foes and liberates his fair lady. He does a noble thing, which is good but dies at the end, which is not so good. But in between the story is action-packed and no more gory than necessary.
All my friends told me this is a good book. It's like the love story where everyone dies. From Poison. Then one person gets a dog. And then they find out its magic—and everyone comes back to life.
The characters aren't nice. The main character dies because of them. She can't runway. They all die.

Altman Lighting proves small can be powerful at Virginia's home for Public Media
USA – As the largest locally-owned and operated public media company in central Virginia, Virginia's home for Public Media (VPM) uses the power of media to enrich the lives of more than 300,000 people throughout the region. Committed to fostering a community that is vibrant in the arts and inspires an environment of learning, VPM has been utilising the power of live social media programming to further engage with their audience. With the opening of a public-facing office space in downtown Charlottesville, they needed to create an energy-efficient and user-friendly broadcast studio so they chose Gallery LED luminaires and a Smart Track lighting system from Altman Lighting.
"We operate the local NPR and PBS stations in Richmond, Charlottesville and Harrisonburg, Virginia, and we recently acquired a small office space in downtown Charlottesville," began Angela Massino, director of digital content and innovation. "As part of our digital programming, we have been doing a lot of live social media broadcasts featuring interviews with local or touring artists, musicians and writers. In Charlottesville, it was always very difficult because we didn't have a dedicated space to shoot, so we were always carrying equipment and searching for a good internet connection. When we found out about the new space, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to create a mini-studio where we could turn some lights on, break out the camera, and do our live streaming videos."
With construction beginning on the new 14-foot by 12-foot office space, the size constraints would provide the most significant challenge with creating a studio lighting design. Additionally, knowing the space would serve as an educational center for those seeking to learn more about their public broadcasting stations, the design also had to be architecturally pleasing to the eye.
"It's not a very big space so that was really our main challenge to start," continued Massino. "We had to find the right technology that could fit into a small space, but still give us production-style lighting. Since the primary use of the space would be for the public to walk in and learn about their local PBS and NPR stations, the developers wanted the lights to be on a track system so that it looked clean without a bunch of wires running through a grid. This is really how we found the Altman Lighting Gallery luminaires and Smart Track system."
"We needed to develop a small LED lighting solution that could function like a production studio, but in an architectural setting with an architectural look," said Tom Casazza, Altman Lighting north-east regional sales manager. "When discussing the ability to use Altman Smart Track and the DMX controllable Gallery LED luminaires, it was an ideal choice because it gave us a great mix between theatrical functionality with clean, architectural aesthetics. The system needed to be similar to what they use in their main studios, but in this case, doing it with a track system and a small-profile, soft-edge spot fixture which works perfect for what they wanted to create."
The Gallery Series is a family of LED luminaires designed to serve as the most versatile solution available, through profile, beam wash, wall wash and flood options across a variety of color temperatures. With a 92+ CRI engine, 4000 lumens of output and dimming options that include local on-board dimming, mains dimming, DMX/RDM, 0-10VDC and DALI, the Gallery Series also offers a number of mounting options making it an ideal lighting solution where aesthetic and performance expectations are high.
"Typically, the new space is configured with a reception desk and informational materials for people to review and take home," explained Massino. "When it is time for a live streaming shoot, we push the reception desk to the back of the office, set up a tall, round table with two directors chairs and a TV in the background for content. We then have a touch screen installed that allows us to use simple lighting presets for the single-camera shoot with a live stream encoder. We usually give ourselves about an hour of lead time prior to an interview to get everything ready, and the lighting system is the easiest production element we use."
"The biggest advantage to this type system is the overall size and ease of installation," added Casazza. "Going with a track-based solution allowed them to save space when inches really made a big difference, and electrical contractors understand how to quickly install track systems. Additionally, if we had chosen a typical studio fixture, it would simply take up too much space. The fact that Gallery is a crossover solution that fits into an architectural application, but gives you theatrical performance, really made the complete lighting package a success."
The Smart Track lighting system is a revolutionary way to power and control individually addressable luminaires without the need for dimmer packs, relay panels, or bulky cable runs. As a cost-effective solution that's easy to design, install, and maintain, the Smart Track system features independent fixture control of dimmed, switched, and LED sources on a shared power feed, using up to 75% fewer conductors than a traditional lighting track.
"We have done a number of installations using Smart Track for lower ceiling applications where inches make a difference, and it works great," admitted Casazza. "Trying to put in even a small pipe grid would simply cause you to lose too much height, so a surface mount track ultimately saves you the inches that make the space usable. While there may be a simplicity to the system, they still have all the performance functionality."
"As we were conducting our research on applicable technologies, there was no other solution provider who could offer both a track-based system and the small, production-grade, track-mounted LED lighting fixtures needed," concluded Massino. "Normally in production studios, you don't have to care that much about what's behind the cameras, but for us, we had to make sure the lighting system looked good in the office space, and it has proven to be a huge benefit as we extend our reach with our online audience."

One of the common themes I have seen recruiting leaders such as Stacy Zapar and Shally Steckerl champion is the 1-2-3 outreach approach to increase your candidate response rate. This approach is reaching out to your candidates three different times, over three different communication platforms throughout a couple of weeks. Typically, the third attempt includes a take away email to try and trigger FOMO in the candidate. When I first learned this approach, I immediately saw the value in it but was having a hard time tracking this inside of my ATS. We went as far as to configure our ATS to monitor this in different stages, but I did not think it was effective.
Well, we are in the middle of an ATS transition, and this was the opportune time to implement my data tracking independent of my ATS to see if this approach will work. I have heard this method if applied correctly, should achieve a 73% response rate. Let's see what we found.
Now that we had all of the logic built into the spreadsheet, it was time for our team to start using it religiously. This may be the nerd in me, but I love keeping this spreadsheet updated, and it had some astonishing benefits.
It was a visual reminder – When trying to implement this approach inside the ATS, candidates would get lost in the shuffle. This approach is worthless if you can't stay on track. However, the spreadsheet kept me organized and my eye on the prize. I struggle with remaining focused and found that this helped me avoid being distracted. Immediately I could see who to call when to call, and about what requisition.
It's incredibly motivating – In recruiting you will have days with no submits or days where every candidate interaction makes you feel you will never fill a role. Looking back at the end of each day and seeing how many attempts I made was very satisfying.
It shifted my mindset – I began to think of recruiting in terms of steps, not the finish line. With every cell I filled in on the spreadsheet, it was like I was taking a step closer to the goal, believing if I followed this process I would be successful. This helped me avoid burnout and keeps me positive throughout the day.
It surprisingly took little effort – The hardest part of this whole process was making the sheet calculate what we wanted. After that, it was cruise control. Updating of the sheet took little to no time.
As we continued with the approach and kept filling in data a few other benefits became very obvious.
It is a handy tool for planning workload and time to fill – being able to see how many days on average it takes to get a response from qualified candidates is a very effective way to plan for your team's workload. You may be asking, well isn't that the same as knowing how many people you need in your funnel before you get a start? Kind of…. But, your funnel has a large number of candidates. Remember we are tracking response rates, which brings me to my next point.
We should be monitoring response rate as a leading indicator of success – How are you going to recruit someone you can't reach? An accurate gauge of the effectiveness of a recruiter is can they reach the right people, which led me to the next point.
This is a great coaching tool – if you are using this method of outreach and are still suffering from a dismal response rate, look at your messages. What subject lines are working? What information in the body of your email is working? Go with what works, and your response rate will continue to increase. If you have a high response rate and low submits/starts, that might point to a completely different performance issue that needs to be addressed.
It is fantastic for agencies running RPO models or retained search – talk about a convincing data set to send to your clients when you are presenting your invoice.
Not surprisingly it made us much more effective – We quickly saw that we could start sourcing less candidate per position, as long as we knew the ones we were reaching out to were the right ones.
Ok so those are some of the unexpected benefits, does it work? YES!
From the time we started this experiment we saw an immediate increase in response rate. All of the positions in our data set required at least a secret clearance and are all software development or senior level IT roles.
Closed Position response rate = 65%.
Open Position response rate = 50% (and climbing).
An email was 33% more effective in reaching candidates.
The highest Email Response rate was on Monday.
The highest Call Response Rate was on Friday.
Full Scope Poly Embedded Developer response rate = 16%.
If you find a different way to crack this let me know.
I started my recruiting career in 2008 as an entry-level recruiter and currently work as a President of Mount Indie Recruiting Solutions. I develop recruitment training and focus on out of the box sourcing techniques that enable our clients to find highly cleared technical employees in and outside of the continental unites states. I come from the school of thought that isn't afraid to consider recruiting sales and believe nothing is more important than a lot of determination and a little bit of luck. I have worked with a wide variety of clients and have supported everything from temp to hire, perm placement and a ton of internal recruiting. Aside from Talent Acquisition, I am passionate about podcasting and music.

Q: Java scanning characters after integer package newproj;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MyFirstClass

{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        char a;
        int b;
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter value b: ");
        b= sc.nextInt();
        System.out.print("Enter char: ");
        a = sc.nextLine().charAt(0);
        System.out.println("This is "+a);
    }

}

The error reflected on console during runtime is Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1.
Can someone teach me how to scan a character after scanning an integer. In C programming, there is the "fflush(stdin)" to help the scanf function. So, I was thinking along the line that the newline character was scanned in instead.

A: Read the input line by line and parse the first line to int. If it contains invalid characters, a NumberFormatException will be thrown.
public static void main(String[] args) throws NumberFormatException
{
    char a;
    int b;
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter value b: ");
    b = Integer.parseInt(sc.nextLine());
    System.out.println("Enter char: ");
    a = sc.nextLine().charAt(0);
    System.out.println("This is "+a);
}

A: Change your code as follows
    char a;
    int b;
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    Scanner sc1 = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("Enter value b: ");
    b= sc.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter char: ");
    a = sc1.nextLine().charAt(0);
    System.out.println("This is "+a);
