Jake Paul announces Betr's new "micro-betting" sports bet app
Former Disney Channel actor and professional boxer Jake Paul is returning to the media industry, this time with an emphasis on sports betting.
Paul and his partner Joey Levy have collected $50 million to start a media and micro-betting company named Betr. They intend to create sports media properties and expand their sports betting business using micro-betting.
By Penny - August 22, 2022
Jake Paul describes micro-betting as "the TikTok-ification of sports betting."
He states "We're in it for the long haul, and we're committed to doing it correctly… By the decade's end, we plan to have established ourselves as the preeminent sports betting and media consumer brand."
Betr's first foray into the media industry will be the BS with Jake Paul web series. Other works will follow. Mike Denevi, formerly of Bleacher Report, has been hired as Betr's head of media.
Levy told Axios, "You can certainly expect 10+ videos a day from rising content creators we've recruited into the firm." But at first, we're concentrating on natives with premium content, beginning with Jake's show.
Levy said the business hopes to monetize its performances through sponsorships and drive brand exposure through media. The company has had discussions with streaming services about licensing its material. However for now it has no intentions to develop original programming for any platforms other than the most popular social media apps.
A freemium launch with payment models to follow
Betr will employ the technology developed by Levy's other gambling software startup, Simplebet, to launch its betting operation. In the beginning, it will be a freemium game, later expanding to other payment models and additional states. The firm claims to have established equity relationships that will allow it to expand its gambling operations.
The initial $50 million in seed funding is being provided by a diverse group of backers, including several high-profile individuals and organizations in addition to venture capital firms such as Florida Funders (8vc), Aliya Capital Partners, and Richard Sherman, Ezekiel Elliott, and Travis Scott (Betr is headquartered in Miami).
Investing in new hires, research, and development are high on Betr's list of plans for the money. Levy seeks access to many betting markets and will reveal his first set of partners in the coming weeks.
According to Levy, the company is spending much less on agreements with market access partners like land-based casino operators than it initially expected. Rather than compensate them monetarily, the company is giving them ownership holdings in Betr so that the funds may be put toward building the business and attracting new customers.
"Our best-in-class technology will be a potent force in the industry when combined with Betr's distribution channels' redesigned user experiences, reach, and influence. We are thrilled to be at the center of this cooperation, which brings together many of the best aspects of the fast growing convergence of sports, media, and technology, said Paul."
Betr Founders
Paul found fame on Vine, a now-defunct social video platform, before transitioning to YouTube. He also had a role on the Disney Channel show Bizaardvark. Still, He was fired after he and his brother, fellow social media sensation and boxer Logan Paul, got into some publicity-negative mischief.
In 2018, Paul started boxing, and in 2020, he got professional. Paul has emerged as a significant player in the boxing industry. He's produced some high-profile bouts and recruited notable fighters like Amanda Serrano and high school phenom Ashton Sylve. Through his venture capital firm, Anti Fund, Paul has invested in businesses like Moonpay (a cryptocurrency payments company). Other ventures include Alchemy (a blockchain startup), and Osmind (a mental health platform).
Levy is credited as a co-creator of Simplebet, a B2B technology that introduced the concept of "micro-betting" to American sports. Betr is an online sports betting platform that allows users to wager on individual outcomes within an event. For example, pitches, at-bats, plays, and drives in baseball and football games. Betr, using the technology developed by Simplebet, will launch its app "in the coming weeks" with a free-to-play version available in all 50 states. This will be followed by a state-by-state release of its licensed real money betting experiences later in the year. By forming "strategic equity-based partnerships that the firm will be disclosing shortly," Betr claims it has gained entry to markets in several states in the United States.
Paul claimed that the sports betting industry has long relied on famous young people to promote their products to draw in more members of the millennial generation who enjoy gambling.
Drawing in a millennial generation onwards
Paul, who has 70 million social media followers, stated in an interview, "They were paying me millions to promote their sportsbooks for my fights."
For something to move forward, they require movers and shakers. Finally, we get to replace the dinosaurs.
Betr's media and betting arms are separate but complementary businesses. In his new post as president, Paul oversees the media division. Here they develop social shows and promotions aimed at a younger demographic. He'll be in charge of marketing, assembling a team of influencers, and hosting a weekly show. Joey Levy will oversee all gambling operations.
Betr has also brought on Alex Ursa, formerly the president of product at FanDuel, and Mike Denevi, formerly the head of media at Bleacher Report, to help launch. To increase awareness of the service, Paul will host a new talk program, "BS with Jake Paul," inviting other influencers, celebrities, and athletes to debate today's critical sports topics.
What is Micro Betting?
Micro-betting is a growing part of the gambling market. It lets people bet in real time on specific moments during games. It is basically a subset of live in play betting. In this set up you can bet on the outcome of short term events rather than the end result. For example, you could bet on what will happen in the next pitch. The odds will fluctuate during the game and it makes for an exciting betting style. European sports bettors will already be familiar with the concept. In play betting in soccer offers bets on next goal, yellow card, corner kicks and so on.
Betr, a sports micro-betting app, will debut in beta in the following weeks. Thus, the firm will use its new media investments to promote the Betr brand. The software will be released later this year as a free-to-play experience in 50 states. This is following a beta testing period. You can sign up for beta testing here https://www.betr.app/ Levy explained that "free-to-play" is more of a "tutorial" or "glimpse" into the future of fan involvement, sports betting, and micro-betting. Ultimately free to play is part of the registration, onboarding, and conversion funnel for our real-money betting experiences.

I tend to stay away from buzz terms like Content Marketing or Viral Videos because they get used so often, and misused so often, that they lose their meaning. I prefer to think of "content marketing" as a platform which a business or person develops as part of their marketing efforts.
Content marketing isn't new and it's simply marketing. Before the internet content marketing was done through newsletters, trade publications, direct mail, submissions of news paper columns, books, press releases, etc.
The main purpose of your content is to establish yourself as a thought leader – you leverage your knowledge for credibility. When people are in the market for a product or service they do a lot of research before ever contacting a vendor or provider. It's estimated that over 60% of their decision marking is already done before they inquire or call a sales rep.
Good content, which is effectively deployed, can turn you into a credible and trusted expert and not just another business looking to close a sale. You can educate the prospect and make them aware of trends, dangers, and best practices in your field. You can set a lot of context in which they will base their buying decisions.
Developing an effective platform will also bring you qualified leads. People are able to find you when they search for a solution or your product/service. If you create the proper content you'll weed out the people who are not good prospects and reach those who are good prospects.
A lead, or prospect, is someone who can buy from you; a quality or qualified lead, or prospect, is someone who is motivated by what you offer. Time is your most valuable resource – spend it on people who are a better fit for you as they are most likely to buy.
Your platform is a place where you can establish your voice and define what you do, how you do business, and with whom you want to do business.
You should put out content which will polarize and not hook. You don't want everybody; you want to attract your ideal customer and repel the rest.
The most important principal to follow when you create your content is to create value. Don't waste people's time.
Your blog, videos, podcasts, social networks, email newsletters, or whatever tools you use to create your platform needs to have real information and needs to be compelling.
The number one mistake that business and sales people make is creating content which is nothing more than a running commercial. It's frustrating to watch a video or read an article which hooks you in by identifying a problem but then just goes off about how great their company or product is for solving that problem. No real information to help understand the problem, to add context to the problem, or on the particular industry – just fluff and my disappointment.
Often I see social media feeds which just can't stop talking about themselves. Think of it this way – no one cares! Your product or service just isn't all that interesting on it's own. No one is as emotionally connected to you or your business as you are; they don't know you from Adam. You need to make them care and notice you.
People are tuned into a station called WII FM – What's In It For Me. Give them real information about your industry and increase the readers understanding of the problems you solve. Share relevant links and relevant information which helps a customer make a purchasing decision, not just a purchase from you.
If you were your customer, what questions would you have? What are the points of confusion? What are some misconceptions of your industry?
You create good content when you approach it with good intent. You share what you know from a place of honesty and service. Your platform should position you as an expert by increasing your potential customers understanding.

Operações de acesso adaptado (TAO) NSA é a divisão de coleta de inteligência para Ciberguerra da agência americana NSA, em funcionamento desde 1998 ao menos. TAO identifica, monitora, infiltra, e reúne informações sobre sistemas de computadores sendo usado por entidades fora dos Estados Unidos.

Segundo Bruce Schneier esta é a divisão da NSA que deveria estar sob o comando do Departamento americano de Ciberguerra, o US Cyber Command uma vez que desenvolve e possui capacidades de guerra cibernética por ataque direto aos sistemas de redes, como mostram os equipamentos usados pelo pessoal da divisão revelados através da publicação parcial do Catálogo ANT (NSA) pelo Der Spiegel em 30 de dezembro de 2013. O Catálogo ANT (NSA) foi publicado na íntegra pela LeakSource.

O pesquisador de segurança Jacob Appelbaum fez uma palestra em 31 de dezembro de 2013, no Congresso de Comunicação Chaos em Hamburgo, Alemanha, com base nos documentos revelados por Edward Snowden, na qual detalhou as funções de alguns dos dispositivos utilizados pela NSA nos seus programas de vigilância global e em massa, militarizando a Internet.

Atividades
A NSA se refere a tais atividades como "de exploração de rede de computadores", ou (CNE), acrônimo para "computer network exploitation", em inglês. Um documento revelado por Edward Snowden descrevendo o trabalho da unidade, diz que TAO tem modelos de software que lhe permite invadir os hardware comumente utilizados ao redor do mundo, incluindo Roteadores, comutadores de rede, e Firewalls de vários fabricantes.

De acordo com o The Washington Post, os engenheiros da TAO, são considerados "a elite de Hackers da NSA, e preferem atacar redes de computadores ao invés de computadores isolados, porque tipicamente há muitos dispositivos em uma única rede.

Revelações de Edward Snowden publicadas no Der Spiegel em 29 de Dezembro de 2013, mostram que a unidade possui um catálogo interno, onde são listados os artefatos disponíveis as agências de inteligência para invasão de sistemas computacionais. O catálogo enumera os inúmeros dispositivos eletrônicos para atingir os usuários finais que vão desde Backdoors a implantes no próprio Hardware, em cabos, Conectors e outros.

Os dispositivos criados pela divisão, se destinam a criar e desenvolver meios de Hacking. Esta se tornou a divisão da NSA de maior expansão recentemente, dedicada especialmente a criar tais dispositivos.

As operações da (TAO) são  consideradas pela agência como extremamente bem sucedidas, incluindo acesso via Backdoor a varios sistemas de Smartphones, incluindo ao iPhone, mostram documentos publicados no The Washington Post.

Contaminando Computadores e eletrônicos adquiridos via Internet
O grupo Operações de acesso adaptado (TAO) NSA (Tailored Access Operations (TAO), em inglês), faz parte das atividades de interceptar encomendas de computadores e outros eletrônicos e instalar software e hardware espião em praticamente qualquer sistema. A instalacao de "implantes" da NSA em produtos adquiridos Online tem sido feita inúmeras vezes sem conhecimento do comprador nem do vendedor, em vários locais.

A NSA se refere a esse processo como uma "interdição" que "envolve a instalação de unidades de hardware em um computador ao, por exemplo, interceptá-lo quando ele está no processo de entrega ao alvo visado".

Assim, antes mesmo de um consumidor receber seu equipamento, ele já pode ter chegado ao depósito das revendedoras com um "grampo" instalado pelas equipes da NSA, do grupo de Operações de acesso adaptado (TAO) NSA. Seja um cabo, um teclado, um adaptador, o Catálogo ANT (NSA), mostra que há produtos para todo tipo de necessidade no que diz respeito a implantar um item para realizar interceptação e espionagem.
Além disso, nos documentos revelados por Edward Snowden, há informações de que em equipamentos da Cisco, Huawei, Dell a (TAO)  é especialista, tendo conseguido infiltrar e manter acesso permanente em qualquer aparelho dessas duas marcas, mesmo que atualizações de firmware sejam realizadas.

O sistema criado pela NSA, para automatizar o gerenciamento e a manutenção dos "implantes" da NSA é o TURBINE.

Produtos criados pelos Hackers da NSA

Entre documentos revelados por Edward Snowden, publicados no Der Spiegel e apresentados por Jacob Appelbaum, na Congresso de Comunicação Chaos (Chaos Communication Congress (em inglês) de 2013, foi encontrado um catálogo, o Catálogo ANT (NSA), onde é mostrado que a NSA vem criando inúmeros dispositivos especialmente para espionagem eletromagnética de computadores como faz o sistema TEMPEST, que usa o processo conhecido como ataque tempest, uma técnica de ataque à computadores. O RAGEMASTER, criado pela divisão de Operações de acesso adaptado (TAO), é um implantes de hardware para interceptar sinais de imagem a partir de monitores VGA. Ele funciona de forma passiva direcionando o sinal que está sendo refletido vindo do computador sob ataque, para as ondas de radar transmitidos externamente. O implante está escondido no isolamento ferrite do cabo de monitor VGA, que está localizado logo atrás do conector do monitor.

A divisão criou também implantes a serem escondidos em USB's que são distribuidas sem conhecimento dos usuários e dispositivos que podem ser escondidos em cabos do proprio computador e que geram ondas de rádio para espionar computadores sem conexão à internet e permitem a NSA analisar dados de máquinas que sequer contam com recursos online.

O catálogo foi publicado na integra em dezembro de 2013 como "Catálogo da NSA - Implantes para quase todo os maiores Software, Hardware,  Firmware" (Catálogo da Divisão ANT - NSA explora quase todos os importantes Software/Hardware/Firmware)

Ataque Quantum
O TAO desenvolveu um conjunto para ataque que eles chamam QUANTUM. Ele se baseia em um roteador comprometido que duplica o tráfego de internet, tipicamente as solicitacoes de acesso HTTP, de modo que eles vão tanto para o alvo pretendido e para um site NSA ao mesmo tempo. O site NSA usa o software FOXACID que envia de volta malwares que se escondem no navegador do alvo antes do destino pretendido ter a chance de responder. Se o navegador estiver explorável, mais "implantes" permanentes (rootkits, etc) são implantados no computador de destino, dando acesso remoto completo para a máquina infectada. [13] Este tipo de ataque é parte da família de ataque chamado Interceptação man-in-the-middle, que em criptografia e segurança de computadores é uma forma de interceptação de  comunicação, embora mais especificamente este seja chamado Interceptação homem-lado-a-lado.
Em 26 de março de 2014, o Der Spiegel publicou um video produzido com base nos documentos da NSA, mostrando como atua o ataque QUANTUM, com o software FOXACID.

Beyoncé. Queen Bey. Mrs. Carter. THE original Naughty Girl is back—and she's collaborating with a misbehaving male counterpart: Naughty Boy.
If you don't know the British producer by name, you've definitely jammed out to his work, namely Sam Smith's electric "La La La," or, at the very least, heard of his feud with former collaborator/One Direction member Zayn Malik. But any leftover anonymity will soon be gone now that he's nabbed Bey for his new track "Runnin' (Lose It All)" featuring her supple pipes, as well as chilling vocals from relative unknown Arrow Benjamin. The pair provides a stunning duet married with deep club-thumping, yet evocative instrumentals that mark a kind of departure for Bey. And we're not mad.

Four Initiative Petitions Certified for November Ballot
Jefferson City, Mo. — Secretary of State Jason Kander today announced four initiative petitions have been certified to appear on the November 2016 ballot.

Hi! Thank you for visiting Strata-gee.com, the online home of The Stratecon Group, Inc. and the place where you'll find content on the top marketing & business strategy in the TECH industry today.
I'm Ted Green and I founded The Stratecon Group, a strategic marketing company, back in 1999. At the time, I had just finished a 14-year stint as Vice President, Sales & Marketing at Onkyo USA Corp. and as great as that experience was for me – it was not without its frustrations.
Most notably, although I had the opportunity to work with a variety of marketing companies – the experience was often quite unsatisfying. For while these organizations may have been good at their respective marketing functions – advertising, PR, collateral, or whatever – they often knew little or nothing about our industry. We would have to spend weeks or months teaching them about our industry, teaching them about our business, and helping them understand our competitive position and relative advantage…before they were at all helpful in creating content or strategies to maximize our marketing.
The Stratecon Group is that better way. First and foremost, we know the industry, we know the players, we understand the competitive environment – in short, we hit the pavement running. Working with a stable of the industry's finest creative minds & production talent, Stratecon helps you be more effective and profitable…starting from Day 1. And it starts with reviewing, refining, or- if necessary – creating your marketing strategy.
Success flows from superior strategy…and yet most companies, whether large or small, fail to regularly review and revamp their strategy.
Whether you need affordable marketing solutions (advertising, public relations, social media, sales planning, dealer network development), advanced management advice (turnaround, new business development, process optimization)…or want to take advantage of some of our media information services (newsletter, website, reports and e-books, webinars) – look to The Stratecon Group for superior strategic solutions!

Florida Matters More Podcast: New Standards For First Responders
By Robin Sussingham • Oct 2, 2018
Forty-nine people died in the Pulse nightclub mass shooting in Orlando in 2016, but new information indicates that 16 of those victims may have been able to survive their injuries -- if they'd been treated sooner.
Robin Sussingham talks to John Montes, an Emergency Services Specialist with the National Fire Protection Association about the NFPA's new standards for first responders.
Pulse nightclub
Paramedics Didn't Enter Pulse To Save Victims. Here's Why.
The Orlando Fire Department had been working on a plan to respond to a mass shooting. It had even purchased vests filled with tourniquets and special needles to relieve bleeding in the chest. But at the time of the Pulse nightclub shooting, the plan had already sputtered and the vests sat untouched.
Orlando Wants Pulse Civil Rights Lawsuit Dismissed
By The Associated Press • Sep 18, 2018
The city of Orlando is asking a federal judge to dismiss a civil rights lawsuit that was filed on behalf of victims and survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting.


Why are we updating the terms?
Over the years we've had feedback that our application process is too long and involved. The membership agreement used to be signed manually by each new Crossref member, often days after they applied. We also now process around 180 new members each month which is too many for a wholly manual process managed by just one person.
People would tell us that the agreement is too long and confusing, especially when English is not their first language. There are often questions about the "legalese" style of language that takes up too much time in back-and-forth discussions to ensure everyone has understood. Also, the main structure of the agreement has been in place for over a decade and needs updating to avoid confusion and to align with up-to-date language, services, technologies, and current practices.
It is quite a commitment to participate fully in Crossref, and we want people to understand up-front what their obligations are as part of the collective membership. And also to realize what value they are receiving as well as contributing to other members. We needed clearer terms so that every organization can understand what they are getting into.
Additionally, moving from signing contracts to click-through acceptance of standard terms emphasizes that Crossref is not a service provider or vendor. We are a not-for-profit community organization. We don't have the resources to negotiate and keep track of individual custom agreements.

Hickory Events, History
Non-Conforming Hickories
October 8, 2012 Alan McDonald
An issue explored by Michael Sheret and Perry Somers
One of the co-authors of this article, Perry, found himself in the middle of controversy1 in October last year when he wanted to play with his hickory clubs in the Australian PGA Seniors Championship, held over three rounds at Killara Golf Club in Sydney. As readers of TTG will know, Perry plays frequently with his hickories and using them he is capable of turning in scores of around par. 2011 was the centenary year of the PGA of Australia. Perry's reason for wanting to play in the tournament with his hickories and dressed in plus fours and jacket was to contribute to the PGA's celebration of its 100th year.
The organisers of the event had some doubt as to whether Perry's hickories would be considered as conforming clubs. From the PGA the matter was put to Golf Australia, the governing body of golf in Australia with responsibility for administering the rules of golf. For whatever reason Golf Australia felt it necessary to get a decision from the R&A, and photographs of Perry's clubs were duly sent to St. Andrews. Somehow Perry's notes, which should have accompanied the photographs, did not reach the R&A. The notes would have explained his reasons for wishing to play with hickories in the tournament and described how they gave no advantage over other players.
The reply came back from the R&A Rules Ltd (Equipment Standards) with regard to the submitted photographs of the iron clubfaces. These clubs 'would not conform to the modern rules' because the grooves 'are nor parallel – they are slightly radiating' and 'Appendix II, 5a (sic) states that the grooves must be straight and parallel'2. As one can see from the photograph of Perry's mashie, this is a perfectly correct ruling from the R&A. It is indeed the only answer to the question: Is this club conforming or non-conforming under the current rules of golf?
However, the ruling by the R&A brings up three issues:
Was there some way that Perry could have competed with his hickories?
Are the modern clubs currently in use that are non-conforming under the same Rule?
What are the implications for hickory golfers?
Competing with Non-Conforming Clubs
This is a difficult issue. The conditions of play for the Australian PGA Seniors Championship stated clearly that the competition was to be played under the Rules of Golf and any local rules in force on the day. It is interesting that the R&A did not specifically say that Perry's hickories could not be used in the Championship. So what could the Championship Committee done to allow Perry to compete with his non-conforming hickories?
A simple solution would have been for the Committee and the sponsors to set up a competition within a competition, Under such an arrangement Perry would play with his hickories alongside the other players but would not be competing for the Australian PGA Seniors Championship. He would be competing for a separate prize pool, say a prize of the same value (with perhaps an upper limit) as his score would have won in the main event. this is a simple solution, but an unsatisfactory one on several counts.
The Committee might have considered an exception for Perry under 'equity' or a 'local rule' or the 'condition of the competition' and allowed him to compete in the main event. These terms, however, appear in the Rules of Golf, which make it clear that their use must not override a Rule of Golf. Suppose the Committee, as an addendum to the conditions of the competition, stated that: 'As a special exception for this tournament, a player may use wooden shafted clubs manufactured before 1935, provided that the Committee is satisfied that they give no advantage to the player over modern clubs as specified in Appendix II of the Rules of Golf'. We are quite confident that there would have been no protest from other players in the field. but we wonder how the ruling bodies in golf would view such a statement.
Modern Clubs
The Rules of Golf are written to be unambiguous. Therefore they can be interpreted literally, as in the case of the radiating grooves. We believe that at the present time there are new clubs on sale and modern clubs being used by thousands of golfers that are non-conforming under the Rule: 'Grooves must be straight and parallel'.
Perry's Mashie
Modern non-conforming
The photograph shows a popular modern iron by a major manufacturer. Most of the grooves are parallel from heel to toe, but the two white grooves run from crown to sole. The club face has two sets of grooves, one at right angles to the other, the very antithesis of parallel. The clubface clearly does not meet the criterion: 'Grooves must be straight and parallel'.
It might be argued that the two crown-to-sole grooves are permitted under Appendix II, 5 Club Face; d. Decorative Markings '. . . . Decorative markings are permitted outside the impact area.' This argument is, however, invalid on two counts. Firstly, the two grooves are not decorative, they are put there as an alignment aid. Secondly, they are not outside the impact area. The term 'impact area', although used in different parts parts of the Rules, is not defined with any great precision.We note that impact area and point of impact are two different things. The point of impact may be a little off centre but, as the ball flattens under compression, the impact geometry changes from a point to a roughly area with a diameter getting on for 1.68 inches. A little off-centre initial impact would at maximum compression easily include the two crown-to-sole grooves.
We are conscious that the above reasoning concerning modern clubs will strike some readers as somewhat pedantic. We would argue that it is no more pedantic than pointing out that some old clubs have grooves that radiate slightly. To quote Richard Tufts: 'Golf is a complex game and we must anticipate that the Rules will reflect this fact.3 We might add that interpretation of the Rules is an equally complex affair.
Implications for Hickory Golfers
We see no problem for purely hickory events where players may be using clubs that are non-conforming under the strict interpretation of the current rules. BGCS stipulates that clubs must be from the hickory era, up to and including 1935.4 It might be wise to add a clause that they should be clubs that were conforming to the standards applicable in the year of manufacture. In purely hickory events it is unlikely that scores will be used for national handicap returns and unlikely that appeals regarding the Rules will be made to the R&A Rules Committee.
There are likely to be problems for players who use their hickories for all their golf, both at club and higher levels. Radiating grooves are fairly common in hickories, as are criss-cross grooves and other imaginative patterns. At club level it is likely that the match committee would, we believe, regard the lone hickory player as rather eccentric and would not get in a tizzy about whether his or her clubs were conforming or not. For hickory players who play at higher levels, where the rest of the field is using modern clubs and is bound strictly by the current Rules of Golf, there are definite problems.
There is, however, a fairly simple solution. Between 2011 and 2012 things changed with the new edition of the Rules of Golf, 2012-2015. Note 1 has been added to Appendix II 5c: 'The groove and punch mark specifications above indicated by an asterisk (*) apply only to new models of clubs manufactured on or after 1 January 2010 . . .'. Unfortunately, an asterisk does not appear next to 'Grooves must be straight and parallel', but it would be reasonable for the R&A Rules Committee to put one there. That would, at a stroke, remove the principle reason why so many hickory clubs are considered non-conforming under the current Rules. As for water irons, rake irons and niblicks with concave faces . . . well, that is another matter.
1. Users of Facebook can view a short news segment made by the Australian Channel 10 Television about the controversy. Key in 'Hickory Golf Passion' to bring up Perry's Facebook page. The video is titled 'It's a crazy world!' and was posted on March 9, 2012. Bear in mind that there was a great deal of editing of the total material recorded. Viewers will see a good example of a common reaction to the R&A ruling, namely to castigate the R&A. That was not the action of the authors of this article. Once the R&A was put in a position of having to give a ruling they had no choice but to give a correct ruling according to the Rules. our reaction was that there was something of an anomaly in the situation. the rules regarding club design were made sure that clubs are not 'substantially different from the traditional customary form and make',. The rules with regard to grooves are clearlt intended to prevent excessive backspin on iron shots to the green. We do not think the current club specification are intended to prevent players from using old-fashioned hickories with rather ineffective groove patterns. We were concerned about ways in which Perry could have been allowed to use his hickories in the Australian PGA Seniors Championship. We were also concerned at how the R&A ruling would affect hickory play in general, especially given that the 'hickory movement' is a growing one.
2. The Rule is in fact Appendix II, 5 Club Face; c Impact Area Markings; (i) Grooves, dot point 2 in the 2008-2011 edition and dot point 1 in the 2012-2015 edition. The Rule is clear: 'Grooves must be straight and parallel'.

May 18, 2018 admin Prada handbags 0
It is safe to say that Italy and France are the capital of all leather works in the world. Most luxurious and classic leather factories that produce belts, shoes and handbags either originated or are headquartered there. It is Prada this time, based in Milan. If you love quality then you will love Prada.
Started by Mario and his brother Martino Prada, it's no surprise that the dreams of these 2 boys have exponentially spiraled into an organization that has over 12,000 employees as at 2015. The Prada brand has ruled European leather market like any other brand of its era and it continues to do so due to its crass adherence to excellence.
Although the Prada logo isn't always obvious at a glance of the products and their handbags, the reason has been said to be because the brand doesn't want their products to condescend. Prada handbags are a bit intimidating, they have a big history that spans every inch of the globe, the legacy is timeless, from Mario to Miuccia Prada, the brand remains timeless just like the its beautiful logo.
There is a fun fact about the brand, when Mario conceived the idea of producing leather works, he didn't believe in women taking over leadership roles in any kind of business but when it was time for his successor, Prada's son had no interest in the business, his daughter Miuccia took over, talk about karma.
Miucia Prada launched the Miu Miu brand in 1993. The Miu Miu includes women's ready to wear handbags, footwear, and accessories but the most popular is the Prada handbag. The Prada handbags are perfect and pristine, they can be combined with just about any outfit you deem fit. They come in various sizes, designs and styles, the "P" logo is clipped to every handbag and it oozes class.
Celebrities and public figures are known for their sheer lust after luxury and Rihanna popularly known as Ri Ri isn't to be left out. Even on days when she wears her kicks, she still loves to rock her Prada handbag. Rihanna has stuck with Prada for years and it seems she's not done just yet. Sofia Vergara is another celebrity who is a Prada handbag mega fan. She seems to have an endless collection of Prada handbags that fits every outfit. Ordinarily, one piece of Prada involves a lot of money but the quality of the products continues to justify the price tag.
Prada is one of the world's few brands who could stop advertising and would still comfortably retain its popularity in the staples of global fashion. They have maintained a remarkable level of structure and rich leather. While all of us cannot afford Prada, we can't hide the fact that we would love to have one. These handbags are luxurious and have become a must have for anyone who is interested in fashion. Taylor Swift was pictured carrying her Prada executive Tote handbag and on another occasion, she rocked the classic Prada Saffiano. She sure loves the Italian brand.

Q: How to have two table side by side in a two column paper? I have a two column paper. In one specific page, I intend to have two tables side by side, with no gap (or a very tiny gap) in between. Following image is what I am looking for:

I have used different approaches, but all were rendered in a scrambled way. For example:
\begin{table*}
\begin{minipage}[b]{\linewidth}
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|| *6{c} ||}
 % some content
 \end{tabular}
 \end{minipage}
 \qquad
 \begin{minipage}[b]{\linewidth}
  \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|| *5{c} ||}
 % some content
 \end{tabular}
 \end{minipage}
\end{table*}

A: Unnecessarily complicated:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table*}
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|| *6{c} ||}
 x &  x & x & x & x & x \\
 \end{tabular}%
 \begin{tabular}{*5{c} ||}
 x & x & x & x & x \\
 \end{tabular}
\end{table*}
\end{document}

But even easier:  two tables side by side, with no gap, is one table.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table*}
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|| *6{c} || *5{c} ||}
 x & x & x & x & x & x & x & x & x & x & x \\
 \end{tabular}
\end{table*}
\end{document}

A: I was working on something similar to what Fran has just posted.  Same basic idea with some embellishments.  The missing piece is to connect the vertical lines through the horizontal rules.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[table]{xcolor}

Technical How-tos, Tips, and Tricks
This will be Windows in 2023
January 4, 2023 Matt Mills News, Software 0
With just a few days to receive the new year, it is time to look at what changes this 2023 will bring and how it will affect Windows, for example. Microsoft's operating system has had a bigger push for Windows 11 in 2022, but there is still a lot of work to be done until it is the majority option in a market that Windows 10 continues to dominate.
Whatever the conquest of Windows 11, these are the main changes and news that can be expected for the Microsoft OS.
Windows 11 Moment 2
Considering how recent it is, Windows 11 still has several years to live, so Redmond's latest desktop operating system is expected to have new features with some frequency. To do this, beyond confirmations, you can look at what Windows Insiders are testing to take a look at the near future.
The "Moment 1" update of Windows 11 22H2 arrived between October and November and meant the starting point for new updates to come. Among its novelties came the tabs in the file explorer, suggested actions , unfolding of the taskbar, easy access to the task manager, sharing with more devices, the new Photos application, access to iPhone photos or the application store of Amazon through which you can play Android titles.
If we predict what we're going to find in Windows 11 22H2 Time 2, according to Insider versions, it could include a full-screen widget dashboard . The Windows 11 Widget Board panel got a simpler design by adopting some of the elements tested in Windows 11 Preview Build 25227 in the Dev Channel. Unfortunately, the change did not include the maximize button, but it is expected to arrive in the Momento 2 update, since it was already included in the latest tests, such as Preview Build 25262.
As for other features to be added in Moment 2, there were previous reports that it could include live search in File Explorer, website recommendation in the Start menu, dedicated tablet-friendly taskbar layout ( Microsoft was also seen testing the same concept in Edge called "Touch Mode"), new recommendations for power settings and support for drag-and-drop in the system tray. According to Windows Central, it could also offer more search bar options, search in Task Manager, study effects in Quick Settings, and voice access improvements.
These Moment 2 news are expected to arrive between February and March of next year 2023.
And what about Moment 3?
Moment 2 will not be the only big update that Windows 11 receives in the next year, but this will be followed by Moment 3, which is expected to be released between May and June 2023 .
Here it is harder to predict what it will include, since much of the changes it offers will be scraps of all the previous features that are being tested and not arriving in Moment 2. According to Zac Bowden of Windows Central , he shared rumors about changes on dual-screen devices and folding PCs . This is promising, especially in the case of the Surface Duo, which received the Android 12L update this year that hides the experimental "force desktop mode" feature. With the recent report that Microsoft might launch a dedicated Insider Program for Surface Duo devices, some change is to be expected in 2023.
Finally, the next big update would not be Momento 4, but the change from Windows 11 22H2 to its 23H2 version . In keeping with Microsoft's strategy to release more significant feature updates to the operating system on an annual basis, the 23H2 update is expected to be between September and October, although there are no leaks or rumors that can give us an idea of the features.

Evans EC snare heads feature a single ply of 14mil film for maximum durability with single-ply sensitivity and feel. Sound Shaping Technology (SST) rings on the underside reduce unwanted frequencies and enhances attack. The reverse dot on the underside of the head further reduces overtones and provides exceptional durability. Evans Level 360 technology is incorporated to extend the level playing surface of the drumhead, 360 degrees around the drum. The vertically enhanced collar design guarantees even contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in: ease of tuning, extended pitch range and optimum quality of sound. Evans Level 360 technology resolves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting the drum shell without using considerable force.


Pink Wedding Cake Inside And Out!
Cutting your pink wedding cake to reveal a pink champagne flavored confection inside would be the ultimate surprise for your guests! There is a yummy recipe at the bottom of this page that will surely enhance your color theme.
This sweet two tier creation right below is decorated with fondant and displayed on a crystal stand. It's small and would serve about 40 people. If you were to add a 14 inch tier on the bottom you would have enough for 125 guests.
This amazing wedding cake below is exquisitely designed with tons of very well made gumpaste flowers by Lizbeth Reyes. This was shared at the Facebook page. Stunning!
I adore this three tiered design below by Bella Sophia Sugar Crafts Everything from the background of brick to the desserts surrounding the cake is absolutely stunning.
The designs on these pages are meant to be used for ideas. Your designer will help you to decide just how many tiers and how much cake you will need for your reception.
The simple square design above with pillars gets it's pink color from the addition of roses which make it very elegant. This particular cake is frosted with buttecream icing.
The pearl borders are made using a round tip. The pillars are either a 7 inch or 9 inch push in plastic Wilton brand. The flowers are fresh. This is a simple design although it is not easy to make buttercream look really smooth.
The polka dot design above was for a bridal shower, but could just as well work for a small wedding. It is made using butter cream, fondant rolled out and cut into circles and fresh flower decorations.
Here is the link to wedding shower ideas and a slideshow of the shower with this polka dot design. When making a cake that combines buttercream and fondant be cautious.
TIP: The fondant can become sticky and break down if refrigerated, allowing the color to run. Wait until just before the event before placing the fondant pieces.

Fashion as Design
Curso 4 de 4 en Modern and Contemporary Art and Design Programa Especializado
Among all objects of design, our clothes are the most universal and intimate. Like other kinds of design, fashion thrives on productive tensions between form and function, automation and craftsmanship, standardization and customization, universality and self-expression, and pragmatism and utopian vision. It exists in the service of others, and it can have profound consequences—social, political, cultural, economic, and environmental. Fashion as Design focuses on a selection of more than 70 garments and accessories from around the world, ranging from kente cloth to jeans to 3D-printed dresses. Through these garments, we're going to look closely at what we wear, why we wear it, how it's made, and what it means. You'll hear directly from a range of designers, makers, historians, and others working with clothing every day—and, in some cases, reinventing it for the future. Studio visits, interviews, and other resources introduce the history and development of each garment and their changing uses, meanings, and impact over time. Course Learning Objectives: Develop critical tools to appreciate and contextualize fashion design—from everyday clothing to couture garments—through many different perspectives. Trace the history, development, and impact of garments over time, and explore how they may be reinvented. Investigate garments through multiple lenses including politics, identity, and economics. Understand more about the lifecycle of clothing, from its design and production to its marketing, distribution, and consumption. Better comprehend the choices you make about fashion with respect to the visual language of dress, individual and collective identities, and issues such as labor practices, sustainability, and body politics.

Highly practical and ambitious material challenging us to think about the current landscape of fashion, as well as the future, and how we can improve the the industry with sustainable practices.
It's a great course not only for fashion lovers, but anybody interested in history, design, activism or sustainability. I subscribed just for fun, but got so much new knowledge and inspiration!
This module examines the lifecycle of garments, an often overlooked aspect of fashion that many individuals and companies are addressing with growing urgency. How do garments begin, how do they end, and how does the cycle of production, consumption, and disposal impact the world?

Thank you, Paula. Thank you, Michelle. Thank you, Carmen, my co-speaker, who I met three days ago. We put this together for you over email and phone calls, and it's a big challenge. Not the easiest topic. So we begin. >> He's somewhere else. >> Hey, you have something I can wear? >> Yea, there's Pro-Wear on the top and soda in the middle. >> A Coke machine in the vicinity caught his tattoo. Seemed to be heading for this particular domistile. [NOISE] >> No, you can't come in. >> Can too. >> Let's go get my billions. [MUSIC] >> [INAUDIBLE] >> Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you. >> So those scenes from Idiocracy straight from the brilliant, hilarious mind of Mike Judge, set hundreds of years in the future, might as well be our present day. The costumes, flimsy, synthetic, brand emblazoned, portrayed as conveniently dispensable and mindlessly disposable are emblematic of what surrounds us now. While there's comedic truth to equating fast fashion with the thoughtless ease of flicking it out of a tissue box dispenser, we are facing more real, and tragic consequences as a result of that. >> So, this is a true crisis in fashion and it's hard to talk about this topic. Especially when you're a designer and you're sensitive and we are critiquing what made us join an industry. But, here we go. Rana Plaza was built on unstable land, without proper codes on April 24, 2013. Visible cracks could be seen throughout the building. A local engineer recommended to close the structure, but the owner bribed his way to keep it open and threatened to fire workers. Can you hear? This is okay? I'm too close, okay. A power outage activated the generators on the roof, causing the building to shake violently. In under a minute, the eight-story garment factory collapsed, killing 1,137 people, injuring over 2,500 and leaving at least 800 orphans. Three years later, victims are still dealing with emotional trauma and struggling financially. Bangladesh is a densely populated country. Imagine the population of Russia squeezed into the area of the state of Louisiana. Second to China, it is a prime destination for cheap manufacturing. There are almost 5,000 factories in Bangladesh. Around 4 million workers employed. 80% of them are women. Of the 300 parliament members, 30 are factory owners. Fashion is a $25 billion industry in Bangladesh. The global textile and garment industry's worth about $3 trillion. And they work six days a week for an average of $0.29 an hour. To give you an idea, by the time a garment worker in the US breaks for lunch, you have already paid a month's wages in Bangladesh. This is a glimpse of the value chain. The Rana Plaza disaster is a wound that hasn't healed, but this tragedy was not in vain. It immediately sparked controversy, and turned the spotlight onto cheap fashion brands where price trumps quality. And the general public was aware and witnessing the who's paying the price behind the machine. It's certainly provoked a call to action around the issues that were being discussed around the ethical fashion circles for years. And the textile and apparel industry in this case is archaic, complex, inefficient, polluting, and is currently undergoing major changes. The manufacturing model in Bangladesh is low-tech, labor-intensive, highly unregulated, suffering from labor exploitation and environmental issues. In my opinion, educating a new generation of fashion designers has to become a dialogue. It is necessary to openly share the facts and address the blind spots in order to tackle the challenges ahead. It is also an invitation for the students to develop solutions around these issues. We are experiencing moments of consciousness. The linear economy model of take make waste failed. And today, we need to step into the circular economy business model, where we eliminate waste at the conception phase, apply design for this assembly, and re-purpose those materials. So the word neophilia was coined by the cult writer Robert Anton Wilson and neophilia drives fashion. So it's almost like a junkie statement. Perhaps our language also needs to evolve. I believe the words responsibility and accountability will redefine the future for a resilient fashion industry. Another objective should include a shift from hyperconsumption experience towards mindful consumption. And it simply means that we are aware of the impact of our decisions. Thank you. >> So when Pela assigned this dense and intense topic to us, and I thought I didn't know how I fit in exactly. But then I realise that at least the core and bones of my work for slow and steady wins the race could serve as a good contrast. Our collections range reinterpret everyday wardrobes and address those categories like a reference library. How can design be timely and timeless, individual and universal? I'm fascinated by the cultural anthropology of how we wear and why we wear design through ideas and concepts. And for example, here is the pearl t-shirt from our Lux collection that examines what luxury can be redefined as. So, it's the iconic everyday white t-shirt, but it's actually embroidered entirely of pearls. In another equation, the subversive challenge of rethinking the wedding dress, one that is actually only $100 that still distills all the rituals we identify traditionally about that particular dress, but without diluting the design and meaning. So, over six years ago, we created an installation as a reaction to the speed and proliferation of the fashion system at Saatchi & Saatchi. Everything serves as a living archive in the collection and all the designs. Each piece from the earliest to the most current is still available today as a testament that good design is always relevant. So the installation refocused the lens, in order to sustain the audiences attention back on to the design itself, to focus on to the design value of the object themselves. So we decided to use the still life as, kind of the earliest visual storytelling metaphor. As a presentation, over ten days, as an installation in the middle of hundreds of eight minute catwalk fashion shows during your Fashion Week. So think of this as a sensory savoring rather than a quick bite. So, I started slow and steady wins the race over 13 years ago at the age of 23. And starting at the age of four, my grandmother proudly taught me everything that she knew about clothing construction, tools that she learned when she was age 4 as well. So in a way if you want to add it all up, I'm carrying 130 years worth of knowledge. So recently, a friend of mine, we were talking, and he said something really interesting. He said the past is the future, when we were talking about what we were working on next. He was talking about music, but, in a way, I talked to him and I said, you know, it actually is relevant for everything. So I wanted to bring up for the last slide, this Massimo Vignelli quote. It was actually more of a list when he and his wife decided they were going to tackle clothing design. So I'm not going to read through it, I think it's beautiful as it stands. So it's a manifesto of clothes. And it's a manifesto and a reminder of how clothing can be and should be. So we're going to leave with what we can say, is the pendulum needs to swing back and we need a call to arms for a smarter approach. When did the scales tip in favor of those who were better at figuring out costs than those who could measure value? And when did it become acceptable to sacrifice dignity and integrity? Rana Plaza offered a moment of introspection and highlighted the importance of educating new designers on these issues from the start of their careers to create a guilt-free fashion system. Thank you. >> [APPLAUSE]

title: Derived Metrics
home: pgdmlai-notes

#### What are Derived Metrics ?

Sometimes, you would not get the most valuable insights by analysing the data available to you. You often need to create new variables using the existing ones to get meaningful insights.

New variables could be created based on your business understanding or they can be suggested by your clients.

##### Example 1: Restaurant sales

The 'day of the week' was a derived variable which was not provided in the original data set (only the date was provided). Using this new variable (day of the week), you can 'drill down' to compare the total sales on each day of the week and present the results on the calendar, as shown in figure 1 below.

Restaurant Sales

_There was loss of sales in the counter (PoS:R1) in Wednesdays but there was corresponding increase in the sales in the counter (PoS: R2). When investigated with the restaurant, the person responsible for the counter "PoS: R1" takes the a half day off and he was not replaced by the management and so the customers move to the counter "PoS : R2". However, there is net loss in the profit on Wednesdays due to this._

##### Example 2: Marks Distribution

By plotting the marks against the 'month of birth' (derived variable), it was observed that the children who were born after June would have missed the cutoff by a few days and gotten admission at the age of 5. The ones born after June (e.g. July, August, etc) were intellectually and emotionally more mature than their peers because of their higher age, resulting in better performance.

Marks Distribution

#### Types of Derived Metrics

Broadly, there are three different types of derived metrics:

1. Type-driven metrics
2. Business-driven metrics
3. Data-driven metrics

---

##### Type-Driven Metrics

These metrics can be derived by understanding the variable's typology. You have already learnt one simple way of classifying variables/attributes — **categorical (ordered, unordered)** and **quantitative** or numeric. Similarly, there are various other ways of classification, one of which is **Steven's typology**.

Steven's typology classifies variables into four types — nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio __(NOIR , shortform to remember)__:

- **Nominal variables:** Categorical variables, where the categories **differ only by their names**; there is **no order** among categories, e.g. colour (red, blue, green), gender (male, female), department (HR, analytics, sales)
    - These are the most basic form of categorical variables

- **Ordinal variables:** Categories follow a certain **order**, but the **mathematical difference between categories is not meaningful**, e.g. education level (primary school, high school, college), height (high, medium, low), performance (bad, good, excellent), etc.
    - Ordinal variables are nominal as well

- **Interval variables:** Categories follow a certain order, and the **mathematical difference between categories is meaningful** but division or multiplication is not, e.g. temperature in degrees celsius ( the difference between 40 and 30 degrees C is meaningful, but 30 degrees x 40 degrees is not), dates (the difference between two dates is the number of days between them, but 25th May / 5th June is meaningless), etc.
    - Interval variables are **both nominal and ordinal**

- **Ratio variables:** Apart from the mathematical difference, the ratio (division/multiplication) is possible, e.g. sales in dollars ($100 is twice $50), marks of students (50 is half of 100), etc.
    - Ratio variables are **nominal, ordinal and interval type**

Understanding types of variables enables you to derive new metrics of types different from the same column.

For example, age in years is a ratio attribute, but you can convert it into an ordinal type by binning it into categories such as children (< 13 years), teenagers (13-19 years), young adults (20-25 years), etc. This enables you to ask questions, e.g. do teenagers do X better than children, are young adults more likely to do X than the other two types, etc. Here, X is an action you are interested in measuring.

##### Business Metrics

Deriving metrics from the business perspective is not an easy task. It requires a decent domain experience. Without understanding the domain correctly, deriving insights becomes difficult and prone to errors.

**Examples of metrics derived using Business Understanding:**

1. Student Marks
    - PASS / FAIL
    - CGPA cutoff

2. Banking
    - Number of transactios in a month
    - Minimum Average Balance maintained? Yes / No
    - No. of cards issued equal to target?

3. Cricket
    - Century scored or not?

---

##### Data-Driven Metrics

Data-driven metrics can be created based on the variables present in the existing data set.

**For example:** if you have two variables in your data set such as "weight" and "height" which shows a high correlation. So, instead of analysing "weight" and "height" variables separately, you can think of deriving a new metric "Body Mass Index (BMI)". Once you get the BMI, you can easily categorise people based on their fitness, e.g. a BMI below 18.5 should be considered as an underweight category, while BMI above 30.0 is considered as obese, by standard norms. This is how data-driven metrics can help you discover hidden patterns out of the data.
