A non-profit human rights organization has filed a federal lawsuit against Corrections Corporation of America alleging the company is censuring books at the company's prison in Eloy.
According to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, officials at Saguaro Correctional Center have refused to deliver books and journals published by Prison Legal News on at least six occasions in the last year.
Steve Owen, a spokesman for Corrections Corporation of America, declined to comment on the lawsuit Wednesday.
Prison Legal News sells self-help, educational and criminal justice-related books and publishes a monthly journal that offers advice to prisoners on how to litigate and protect their legal rights.
Approximately 7,000 people subscribe to the journal across the U.S. with 80 percent of them being state and federal prisoners.
Saguaro Correctional Center, which houses prisoners from Hawaii and Washington, has 40 Prison Legal News subscribers, according to the lawsuit.
Each time prison officials refused to deliver the book or journal, the prisoner was informed the materials "created a serious danger to the security of the facility," the lawsuit stated. They also received a handwritten note that stated "book not allowed also from unapproved vendor."
Prison officials never notified Prison Legal News the books or journals had been censored nor did they return the items, the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit states prison officials are violating the prisoners' rights under the First Amendment and the Arizona Constitution.

Import the references you find into Bookends with drag and drop or a single mouse click, and if searching PubMed, Web of Science or JSTOR, the pdf as well. If you already have the pdf with the doi, import the reference information (author, title, etc.) from PubMed or Google Scholar with a simple drag and drop. If you have the PubMed ID (PMID), Digital Object Identifier (DOI), or ISBN, autofill or update the article or book details from PubMed, CrossRef, Google Scholar, or Amazon without lifting a finger.
If you have the pdf of an article, you can use Autocomplete Paper to fetch the reference details from PubMed, Google Scholar, CrossRef, Web of Science, or JSTOR and import it directly into your library (Web of Science and JSTOR require access privileges and ip authentication).
Use the built-in Online Search browser in a separate window or integrated with the reference library to navigate to Web sites containing the full text or pdf of the references you have found. Download both the reference and the pdf or web page in one step. This is automatically available for PubMed, Web of Science, JSTOR, Amazon, Google Scholar, and arXiv, but you can navigate to any site and download pdfs/web pages. You can just as easily automatically create an "Internet" reference for any web page you find, with the title, URL, and date of access already entered. Data detectors let you also find and import embedded reference metadata from sites like JSTOR, CiteULike, Copac, Wikipedia, OCLC WorldCat, and more.


There are lots of wonderful gadgets and certainly most of our phones are equip with ability to keep a TO DO LIST (TDL). If that is your thing, go for it! Plain and simple...I am a paper girl. I love paper! I get great satisfaction putting a check mark next to the item I just completed off my TDL.
I will also be posting my TDL on this blog site. Simply to keep accountability to any guest that might decide to read and join in the 365 day TDL challenge to be more productive.
Any TDL items that appear in purple bold are things I have already identified as things I need to do every day but seem never to get done. These will appear every day on my TDL and I am sure more will be added as I continue this 365 day TDL Challenge.

How to win young potentials for your organization
#Career Discovery Trajectory
#Career Fitness Profiler
#onboarding
Does your company need to work hard to attract the young potentials your business requires? Do you have difficulty standing out from competitors who are seeking similar profiles for similar jobs? Have you reached the limits of what adding costly benefits to the salary package can achieve? If so, read this blog.
I want to explore how career development can be a lever in employer branding and onboarding.
The labor market is tight for the moment. Young potentials usually have different offers to choose from. How can you convince viable candidates to join your company without continuously raising your bid? One option is to highlight the exciting career opportunities that exist in your organization. Maybe even offer young potentials a traineeship so they learn the ins and outs of your organization. Not to mention the varied learning opportunities for technical and soft skills that exist within your organization.
Although you are undoubtedly investing in the development of these young potentials this way, you can also argue that this approach is limited to an organizational perspective on development. It's about the skills and competencies employees need to perform well and contribute to the continuity of the organization. From the individual's perspective, however, there is also the outlook on a satisfying and fulfilling career. Millennials often have a very limited view on their career vision and motivators. Some of them are too focussed on getting ahead quickly and extrinsic motivators, treating the career as a sprint, rather than as a marathon. Most of them have yet to learn how to manage their own careers. What they need is help in developing their personal career vision and the skills to make it happen. Herein lies a true opportunity for organizations to create a win-win. The individual gets what they need, and the organization benefits not only from a strong relationship with the young potential if he or she decides to stay, but also an ambassador for the organization when he or she decides to leave.
Organizations who choose to ignore the individual perspective on careers will miss out in the long run. Young people are aware that organizations cannot guarantee life-long employment. Also, the demands in most organizations are considerable. Employees can only endure if they perform tasks that tap into their talents and intrinsic motivation. Therefore, employees are more aware that they need to build their careers themselves, and that they need to determine what would fulfill them professionally. Unfortunately, this is quite a difficult process. Where do you want your young potentials to look for help in this personal development process? Outside of your organization, with a professional career coach of their own choosing? Or do you want to participate and facilitate in this process, so you can have some impact on the outcome?
Careers have become subject to negotiation. If one of the parties in the negotiation has no clear view on what it wants to achieve, the negotiation will be difficult. This is why I believe that genuinely investing in a process that allows people to build a long-term career vision right at the start of the employee-employer relationship has added value. By helping employees to develop the skills they need to build a satisfactory career, organizations will, in turn, build a strong employer brand, facilitate a successful onboarding process and build a strong long term relationship with the employee.
Career development is of true added value for individuals. They will be grateful for challenging their career vision and even after they have left, they will speak fondly of you as an employer.
Genuine interest in people is what creates a relationship built on trust.
Understanding your employees' individual outlook on their careers will help you to construct a positive psychological contract on which you can build even after the onboarding period
Here are some tips on how to go about this:
Make career development part of your "people promise" and stress it in your recruitment communication.
Make time for individual and/or group sessions on career development right from start.
If you have a leadership development program for recent graduates, make career development part of the curriculum. Managing your own career is, in essence, self-leadership.
Approach career development from the individual's perspective (talents, subjective career success, and energizers), rather than just from that of the organization (competences and skills).
Put the emphasis on career management skills so that people learn what it takes to be at the wheel of their own career.
Use evidence-based tools to fuel the dialogue between employee and employer.
People are becoming more aware of the fact that everyone needs to self-manage their careers. If, as an employer, you offer career development from an individual perspective right from the start, this not only offers real added value to the young potential, it also serves you well in terms of employer branding and onboarding.

Efficiency and Effectiveness of Wind Power Generation With the reckless energy demand in the 21st century and the growing of global warming, which made by environmental pollution, energy supply has become the constraint and an obstacle to the economic development of many countries. To solve these kinds of puzzles, which can respond to the climate and energy challenges. , people now pay more attention to all kinds of new type of renewable energy, which is good ecologically. Wind power is one of the optimal energy, which has great prospects.
Wind is the movement of air across the surface of the earth, from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (Anon, 2010). Wind goes through the turbine motor then drive the machine to produce electricity, which is wind power generation. It is currently already used widely in many jurisdictions because of the attractiveness, significant negative externalities, and the performance which human society civilization progresses. Wind energy as an inexhaustible, clean, and also environmentally friendly energy, which is gradually paid more attention by people around the world.
However, it also has some problems. Wind power generation needs to pay a lot to achieve operation, which made various countries to have a cautious consideration about that. But as wind turbine technology improves, costs may come down, become cheaper as turbines continue to grow in size and manufacturers drive down costs. So in this essay will make a sketchy overview of wind power generation. The wind used by people early mainly by windmills to pump water, flour, and now, people interested in is how to use the wind to generate electricity.
If the power of wind can be utilized effectively, the non renewable energy will be replaced by wind power. Also, the reserve of the wind power is extremely huge. The global wind energy is about 2. 74*109 MW and the available amount is 2*107 MW, which is ten times larger than the overall water energy that is available for use on the Earth (Libanciel 2011). As the result of the huge reserve of wind power, it is a viable and worthy of scale widely progress of renewable energy to reduce global energy crisis, which is a particularly good news for the economic development of the countries all over the world.
Human can really make a full use of wind power thanks to the huge reserve, however, wind power generation field selection affects the results of the wind power generation directly. Wind energy supply is affected by a number of factors, especially the weather, topography and surface effects. Wind power in the air distribution is scattered and unstable. So before choosing the location, the advantage terrain, analysis, and judgment of building wind field locations is very necessary to be considered.
Besides traffic, residents, economy and other factors of society should be calculated, and then the best wind farms address will be determined. All above the problems show that it is difficult to choose the best location of the wind farm. Wind farms are only effective when placed in proper locations. Therefore, selecting the best location of wind farms is critical in order to harness as much wind as possible and to generate large amount of electricity needed to be used in agriculture, residential, and commercial purposes (Wind Turbines LLC, 2011). Wind energy is a clean energy source.
Comparing with coal fired plants, wind power generation will not produce any waste gas, waste water, waste heat or any other pollutions, which is the truly environmentally friendly energy that can be utilized in many areas. The former power station that fired coal had an efficiency of around 1%, and need 12. 3 kg of coal for the generation of 1 kWh. This meant 37kg CO2 emissions per kWh(Hans dieter, 2005). Through this data we can distinctly analysis the quiet efficiency of coal fired generation and not ecologically friendly comparing with the wind power generation.
As the consequence of using wind power generation, there would be less pollution, which can reduce the global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer. It is likewise let people live in an environment with fresh air, limpid water and blue sky. Wind power generation needs to pay a lot to achieve operation. An energy cost includes not only a one time investment, infrastructure, but also includes increased equipment cleaning, maintenance and repair wages must be paid to the staff costs.
However, as the time increases, and aging equipment, power efficiency will decrease, the majority of energy cost has increased year by year. Therefore, looking for a low cost and has huge reserve energy has been the main directions of research for the countries all over the world. Both solar and wind power cost a lot of money, take up a lot of space, yet provide very little in terms of electricity. There is no way that you can run any kind of appliance off either of these two devices(Magnetic Generator, 2011). However, as wind turbine technology improves, costs may also coming down.
Wind power generation technology can be applied flexibly, can not merely parallel operation, but also work independently from the power grid or complement power to the power grid system. Wind farm operation mode can supply electric power for the country and remote areas to provide production, and the electricity for everyday life. Wind power generation is more mature than other new renewable energy. While in the wind energy conversion process, it does not need any fuel barely a little land will be occupied, plus it needs a short construction period.
In 2010, more than half of all recent wind power was added outside of the traditional markets in Europe and North America. This was largely from original construction in China, which accounted for nearly half the fresh wind installations (16. 5 GW)(Global Wind Energy Council, 2011). As the practical applicability, wind power generation is extensively used. Worldwide there are now many thousands of wind turbines operating, with a total nameplate capacity of 238,351 MW as of end 2011(Global Wind Energy Council, 2011).
Thought about all the advantages of the wind power generation, government really gives a lot support on that. For example, a 2009 study by the Environmental Law Institute assessed the size and structure of U. S. energy subsidies over the 2002-2008 periods. The study estimated that subsidies to fossil-fuel based sources amounted to approximately $72 billion over this period and subsidies to renewable fuel sources totaled $29 billion. In the United States, the federal government has paid US$74 billion for energy subsidies to support R&D for nuclear power ($50 billion) and fossil fuels ($24 billion) from 1973 to 2003.
During this same timeframe, renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency received a total of US$26 billion. It has been suggested that a subsidy shift would help to level the playing field and support growing energy sectors, namely solar power, wind power, and befouls (Pernick et al, 2007). From the data we can analyze clearly that through the substantial support by government to wind power generation, it can produce powerful economic interests. Chinese new energy strategy is set to focus on devoting major efforts to developing wind power.
Wind power generation has been supported by the relevant national policies. Chinese renewable energy sources such as wind power industry development prospects are extremely broad, which is expected to keep for a long period of time will maintain high speed development in the future. At the same time with Chinese wind power generation technology advanced, wind power will be used more extensively. As the scale of Chinese domestic production of wind power installed capacity and power generation, wind power costs are expected to drop again.
Shi Pengfei, Vice President of wind energy professional committee of China Renewable Energy Association, said that the planning and construction of 10 million kilowatt wind power bases will ensure the electrical power output and sale of 100 million kilowatts of wind power base in China by 2020, achieving national renewable energy target in the medium-and long-term development plan (nafste, 2012) To conclude, wind power generation that compared with coal, petroleum, natural gas, nuclear power and renewable energy is more apt to develop.
It has better prospects. Although oil, natural gas and fossil energy are broadly using now, the reserve is finite after all, and the environmental pollution is correspondingly more serious. Besides solar energy is inexhaustible, but the efficiency is low, and has a complicated technical. However, wind power energy is the most viable potential and vitality of the renewable energy, which is an inexhaustible renewable energy source and also environmentally friendly.
At the same time, regardless of the fact that the wind power station is a onetime investment and compared with other energy sources at a higher level, taking into account that in can completely work with emission of carbon dioxide. With a light of an extended term, the cost is not prohibitive. And furthermore as wind turbine technology improves, costs may come down, become cheaper as turbines continue to grow in size and manufacturers drive down costs.

What is the salary cap in the NFL and why will it increase by 2022?
December 15, 2021 by Mary Sanders
In the NFL there are many diehard fans who know all the rules, terms and everything related to the grills from top to bottom, peeeeeeero, there are also others who are interested in the subject and do not know at all many subjects, one of them is the salary cap.
The salary cap is one of the great unknowns for those who are not so involved in the world of NFLBut do not worry, here we are going to explain in detail everything that has to do with this issue of money, players and salaries.
The salary cap issue has to do strictly with what teams pay to players and all teams have the same salary cap, but not all teams cover this money, which is good for franchises.
This salary cap is defined each season and is basically based on the income that the league has, in this case, the NFL. So if the league does well financially, teams will have to pay more, but they will be able to add better players to their teams.
Now, there are two important points to know and they are the famous 'rolled over' that refers to the teams that do not reach the limit of the salary cap and save it to take it to the other campaign. The other is the 'dead money', which is the money that the franchise owes to a player who was cut by the team, but whose payments continue for the next few seasons.
For the 2022 season the NFL will increase the salary cap
We do not know if this is good or bad news for the NFL franchises because some of them will have to pay more money, but if that ensures that some players can stay with their teams displaying all the talent or bring others to improve the squad… sure is good news.
The NFL announced that for the 2022 season, the salary cap will increase, all of this, according to information from Tom Pelissero from NFL Network. Then, the salary cap would remain at 208.2 million dollars, almost 25.7 million more than the current season.
This increase was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, because before the pandemic the salary limit was 198.2 million dollars and had to be lowered for the 2021 season, due to virus losses at 182.5 million, the lowest amount, but thanks to this low wage, in 2022 the ceiling may rise considerably.

page_title: Installation on Mac OS X
page_description: Instructions for installing Docker on OS X using boot2docker.
page_keywords: Docker, Docker documentation, requirements, boot2docker, VirtualBox, SSH, Linux, OSX, OS X, Mac

# Mac OS X

You can install Docker using Boot2Docker to run `docker` commands at your command-line.
Choose this installation if you are familiar with the command-line or plan to
contribute to the Docker project on GitHub.

[](https://kitematic.com/download)

Alternatively, you may want to try Kitematic, an application that lets you set up Docker and
run containers using a graphical user interface (GUI).

## Command-line Docker with Boot2Docker

Because the Docker daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features, you can't run
Docker natively in OS X. Instead, you must install the Boot2Docker application.
The application includes a VirtualBox Virtual Machine (VM), Docker itself, and the
Boot2Docker management tool.

The Boot2Docker management tool is a lightweight Linux virtual machine made
specifically to run the Docker daemon on Mac OS X. The VirtualBox VM runs
completely from RAM, is a small ~24MB download, and boots in approximately 5s.

**Requirements**

Your Mac must be running OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or newer to run Boot2Docker.

### Learn the key concepts before installing

In a Docker installation on Linux, your machine is both the localhost and the
Docker host. In networking, localhost means your computer. The Docker host is
the machine on which the containers run.

On a typical Linux installation, the Docker client, the Docker daemon, and any
containers run directly on your localhost. This means you can address ports on a
Docker container using standard localhost addressing such as `localhost:8000` or
`0.0.0.0:8376`.

![Linux Architecture Diagram](/installation/images/linux_docker_host.svg)

In an OS X installation, the `docker` daemon is running inside a Linux virtual
machine provided by Boot2Docker.

![OSX Architecture Diagram](/installation/images/mac_docker_host.svg)

In OS X, the Docker host address is the address of the Linux VM.
When you start the `boot2docker` process, the VM is assigned an IP address. Under
`boot2docker` ports on a container map to ports on the VM. To see this in
practice, work through the exercises on this page.

### Installation

1. Go to the [boot2docker/osx-installer ](
   https://github.com/boot2docker/osx-installer/releases/latest) release page.

4. Download Boot2Docker by clicking `Boot2Docker-x.x.x.pkg` in the "Downloads"
   section.

3. Install Boot2Docker by double-clicking the package.

    The installer places Boot2Docker and VirtualBox in your "Applications" folder.

The installation places the `docker` and `boot2docker` binaries in your
`/usr/local/bin` directory.

## Start the Boot2Docker Application

To run a Docker container, you first start the `boot2docker` VM and then issue
`docker` commands to create, load, and manage containers. You can launch
`boot2docker` from your Applications folder or from the command line.

> **NOTE**: Boot2Docker is designed as a development tool. You should not use
>  it in production environments.

### From the Applications folder

When you launch the "Boot2Docker" application from your "Applications" folder, the
application:

* opens a terminal window

* creates a $HOME/.boot2docker directory

* creates a VirtualBox ISO and certs

* starts a VirtualBox VM running the `docker` daemon

Once the launch completes, you can run `docker` commands. A good way to verify
your setup succeeded is to run the `hello-world` container.

    $ docker run hello-world
    Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
    511136ea3c5a: Pull complete
    31cbccb51277: Pull complete
    e45a5af57b00: Pull complete
    hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified.
    Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be
    relied on to provide security.
    Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
    Hello from Docker.
    This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

    To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
    1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
    2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
       (Assuming it was not already locally available.)
    3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
       executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
    4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
       to your terminal.

    To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
    $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

    For more examples and ideas, visit:
    http://docs.docker.com/userguide/

A more typical way to start and stop `boot2docker` is using the command line.

### From your command line

Initialize and run `boot2docker` from the command line, do the following:

1. Create a new Boot2Docker VM.

        $ boot2docker init

    This creates a new virtual machine. You only need to run this command once.

2. Start the `boot2docker` VM.

        $ boot2docker start

3. Display the environment variables for the Docker client.

        $ boot2docker shellinit
        Writing /Users/mary/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem
        Writing /Users/mary/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/cert.pem
        Writing /Users/mary/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/key.pem
            export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
            export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/mary/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
            export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

    The specific paths and address on your machine will be different.

4. To set the environment variables in your shell do the following:

        $ eval "$(boot2docker shellinit)"

    You can also set them manually by using the `export` commands `boot2docker`
    returns.

5. Run the `hello-world` container to verify your setup.

        $ docker run hello-world

## Basic Boot2Docker exercises

At this point, you should have `boot2docker` running and the `docker` client
environment initialized. To verify this, run the following commands:

    $ boot2docker status
    $ docker version

Work through this section to try some practical container tasks using `boot2docker` VM.

### Access container ports

1. Start an NGINX container on the DOCKER_HOST.

        $ docker run -d -P --name web nginx

    Normally, the `docker run` commands starts a container, runs it, and then
    exits. The `-d` flag keeps the container running in the background
    after the `docker run` command completes. The `-P` flag publishes exposed ports from the
    container to your local host; this lets you access them from your Mac.

2. Display your running container with `docker ps` command

        CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                           NAMES
        5fb65ff765e9        nginx:latest        "nginx -g 'daemon of   3 minutes ago       Up 3 minutes        0.0.0.0:49156->443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:49157->80/tcp   web

    At this point, you can see `nginx` is running as a daemon.

3. View just the container's ports.

        $ docker port web
        443/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:49156
        80/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:49157

    This tells you that the `web` container's port `80` is mapped to port
    `49157` on your Docker host.

4. Enter the `http://localhost:49157` address (`localhost` is `0.0.0.0`) in your browser:

    ![Bad Address](/installation/images/bad_host.png)

    This didn't work. The reason it doesn't work is your `DOCKER_HOST` address is
    not the localhost address (0.0.0.0) but is instead the address of the
    `boot2docker` VM.

5. Get the address of the `boot2docker` VM.

        $ boot2docker ip
        192.168.59.103

6. Enter the `http://192.168.59.103:49157` address in your browser:

    ![Correct Addressing](/installation/images/good_host.png)

    Success!

7. To stop and then remove your running `nginx` container, do the following:

        $ docker stop web
        $ docker rm web

### Mount a volume on the container

When you start `boot2docker`, it automatically shares your `/Users` directory
with the VM. You can use this share point to mount directories onto your container.
The next exercise demonstrates how to do this.

1. Change to your user `$HOME` directory.

        $ cd $HOME

2. Make a new `site` directory.

        $ mkdir site

3. Change into the `site` directory.

        $ cd site

4. Create a new `index.html` file.

        $ echo "my new site" > index.html

5. Start a new `nginx` container and replace the `html` folder with your `site` directory.

        $ docker run -d -P -v $HOME/site:/usr/share/nginx/html --name mysite nginx

6. Get the `mysite` container's port.

        $ docker port mysite
        80/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:49166
        443/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:49165

7. Open the site in a browser:

    ![My site page](/installation/images/newsite_view.png)

8. Try adding a page to your `$HOME/site` in real time.

        $ echo "This is cool" > cool.html

9. Open the new page in the browser.

    ![Cool page](/installation/images/cool_view.png)

9. Stop and then remove your running `mysite` container.

        $ docker stop mysite
        $ docker rm mysite

## Upgrade Boot2Docker

If you running Boot2Docker 1.4.1 or greater, you can upgrade Boot2Docker from
the command line. If you are running an older version, you should use the
package provided by the `boot2docker` repository.

### From the command line

To upgrade from 1.4.1 or greater, you can do this:

1. Open a terminal on your local machine.

2. Stop the `boot2docker` application.

        $ boot2docker stop

3. Run the upgrade command.

        $ boot2docker upgrade

### Use the installer

To upgrade any version of Boot2Docker, do this:

1. Open a terminal on your local machine.

2. Stop the `boot2docker` application.

        $ boot2docker stop

3. Go to the [boot2docker/osx-installer ](
   https://github.com/boot2docker/osx-installer/releases/latest) release page.

4. Download Boot2Docker by clicking `Boot2Docker-x.x.x.pkg` in the "Downloads"
   section.

2. Install Boot2Docker by double-clicking the package.

    The installer places Boot2Docker in your "Applications" folder.

Opening keynote of the Wolfram Mathematica Virtual Conference 2011, September 26–27.
Hi. I'm pleased to be with you. I've been asked to talk a bit about the background and vision of Mathematica.
You know, this month it's exactly 25 years since I started building Mathematica. It's been really exciting seeing Mathematica grow and prosper over the years. But I have to say that in just the last few years, something truly remarkable seems to have been happening. It feels like Mathematica is really coming of age. It's in just the right place at the right time. And it's making possible some fundamentally new and profoundly powerful things. Like Wolfram|Alpha, and CDF, and yet other things that we'll have coming over the next year.
But let me start off at the beginning. How did Mathematica come to be in the first place? Here's the personal story.
I started out—in my teens—as a physicist. And doing theoretical physics requires doing lots of mathematical calculation. And I figured: these calculations are kind of mechanical. Why can't I just get a machine to do them?
Well, that was in the mid 1970s. And at the time there were a number of research systems for doing algebra and things by computer. And I started using them—and managed to do some pretty interesting physics with them. But it didn't take long for me outgrow the systems that existed.
So late in 1979 I decided that the only way I was going to have the kind of system I wanted was to build it myself. So I did. And pretty soon that system became the first commercial computer algebra system. But after a few years, I wanted much more.
I'd been doing a lot of basic science. Developing the foundations for what became known as "complexity theory". And doing a lot of things that were really only made possible by computers. But you know, it was kind of a mess. I had my nice computer algebra system. And I had programming languages. And graphics systems. And numerical subroutine libraries. And typesetting systems. And I realized that actually I was probably spending most of my time just gluing these things together. And that got me to thinking: perhaps I should just build a single system, once and for all, that can do all the computational stuff I'll ever want to do.
I thought about it for a while… and then, exactly 25 years ago this month, I decided that, yes, I should do this.
And I started building Mathematica.
Right from the beginning I had several principles. I suppose the first was very personal: I wanted Mathematica to be the only computational system I'd ever have to use in my life. So I wanted it to cover everything I'd ever want to do: and to have a structure that was strong enough to extend as far as I wanted in any direction. I knew Mathematica would be a big system, and would keep growing.
And from the beginning I put incredible effort into making sure that it was coherent, and unified. And would always remain so. I wanted all the pieces of the system to fit perfectly together. So that if you were using one part of the system, you could immediately pull in any other part, you'd immediately know how to use it, and it would just fit seamlessly in.
And then—another principle—I wanted the system to be as automated as possible. I mean, the whole point of using a computer is to get it to do work for you. So the concept was that you should just tell Mathematica what you wanted to do, and it should figure out how to do it. If you were an expert, then you set all sorts of knobs and switches. But most of the time, you'd just let Mathematica figure out underneath the best algorithms for things, or whatever. Completely automatically. So that you as a human could get on with thinking about what you wanted to do, not how the computer was going to do it.
Well, so, those are the principles. But how should the system actually work? There's a big idea there: it's symbolic programming. Actually, when I started working on the forerunner of Mathematica 32 years ago, I guess I was a died-in-the-wool, if young, basic scientist. And so I figured that to make a system for doing computation, I had better understand at the most fundamental possible level what computation really is. And how it should be represented.
And so I went back to the foundations, and realized that there is a very clean way to do that. The key idea is that everything can be represented as a symbolic expression. Whether it's a string, an array, a formula, a graphic, a program, a document, a user interface. Whatever. And because everything is represented in a uniform way, there's a uniform set of operations that can be performed on it. And that's in effect how this giant system that is Mathematica can fit together so well, and work in such a coherent way. It's funny. In a sense symbolic programming is the secret that makes Mathematica possible. And when you start using Mathematica it's something that's just there, always providing a framework for what's going on.
But I guess getting symbolic programming really to work—in the way it does in Mathematica—is hard. It needs a big technology stack. Which is why, even after all these years, serious symbolic programming is still pretty much a unique feature of Mathematica.
OK. So let's take a little look at Mathematica. There are many ways to use Mathematica. But here's one. You just type in a question, and it prints back the result.
Let's ask to plot a graph.
That was easy. OK. Now let's say we want to make that dynamic. Well, that's easy too. We just add a parameter, and tell Mathematica we want to Manipulate this as a function of that parameter.
Actually, you can manipulate anything. Like, let's manipulate a piece of algebra.
And of course because this is Mathematica that just works.
Well, OK. Let's make some data. We could import the data from anywhere too. Or connect to an external device or program or whatever. But here, let's just make some data.
Well, OK, now let's say we want to interpret this as a network.
We can ask Mathematica to plot that. And it'll automatically figure out a good layout. What if we want a bunch of these? We can just make a table.
We could put it in tabs.
You know: Mathematica can deal with pretty much any kind of data. Like, let's get a picture. Say we just drag it from the web. Now because this is Mathematica we can just immediately use that picture as an argument of a function.
Maybe I can break that image up into pieces. And so on. The whole symbolic structure of Mathematica means that we can manipulate an image just like we can manipulate numbers, or text, or formulas, or whatever.
Let me just give you a tiny taste of that whole symbolic language thing.
Turns out to be a symbolic expression too.
And there are all sorts of very powerful functions that construct and manipulate symbolic expressions, in very general ways.
Now you can do all kinds of things with this. Here's making nested frames.
Here's like building a toy user interface programmatically. And of course you can do very real versions of that very easily.
OK. But perhaps I should go back to the story of Mathematica. So there it was. June 23, 1988. Mathematica version 1 was released. You know, back then, even people like scientists and engineers almost never did their own computing. There were specialized "computer people" who did that. Because computing was sort of messy, and time consuming. Well, Mathematica has grown immensely over the years. But even Mathematica 1 already had the basic feel of what we now know and love as Mathematica.
And back in 1988 I think for most people it was something pretty spectacular. It transformed computing into something that you could actually do. Without being a special highly trained "computer person". The first big set of people who rushed in to use Mathematica were around mathematics and the physical sciences. Though even from the very beginning there were people from a huge range of fields—sometimes quite unexpected ones.
And over the years a really really impressive set of things has happened in the world as a result of Mathematica. For me it's extremely satisfying. Feeling that the work we've done has contributed to so many discoveries, so many inventions, so much stuff getting built. So many people telling me that they couldn't have got their education, that they couldn't have done their projects, that they couldn't have launched their companies—without Mathematica.
You know, at the beginning, it was a challenging thing explaining what Mathematica is. It's a system for doing everything computational you'll ever want. It's a language for representing everything computational. It's something that there aren't really words to describe.
Well, at the beginning, the obvious "killer app" for Mathematica was math. And so we decided—actually as it happens, it was Steve Jobs who really encouraged me in this direction—to call Mathematica "Mathematica". And to say that it was "a system for doing mathematics by computer". Well, people got that idea. And started using it, and doing wonderful things with it.
Now, of course, there was a lot more to Mathematica than math—even in the broadest sense that the term "math" gets used. And indeed, over the years, even though Mathematica is incredibly widely used in math, that represents a smaller and smaller fraction of all Mathematica usage.
You know, after 25 years, you might think that any software system would kind of have run its course. But not Mathematica. Instead, if you plot the growth of functionality in Mathematica, it's actually been speeding up. I always find it neat. Occasionally I'll unearth a Mathematica program that I wrote 20+ years ago for Mathematica version 1. And I'll start up in Mathematica 8—and it'll just run. And what's more, the program will look completely modern. It's just pure timeless symbolic programming. That's what one gets for having set up the right foundations. That one can just go on and on building more and more on top of them.
Over the years, we've built up a large and impressive team working on Mathematica. And we've invented an amazing amount of technology, an amazing number of algorithms, and so on. But one thing I've personally always been very involved in is figuring out the overall design of the system. How all the functions in it should look to the user; how they should fit together.
It's very hard work. But it's a fascinating process. Really understanding at a deep level all these different areas, to be able to create the right structures, the right functions, for them. You know, the way I see the job of the language designer is this: there are all these computations out there that people might want to do. You have to understand this whole space, and see what the right primitives are from which these computations can conveniently be built up. And then you have to give names to those primitives, and implement them. And those become the functions and other constructs in the language.
You know, in a sense it's a big responsibility being a language designer. Because when people learn your language well, they're not just using it—they're actually thinking in it. And in Mathematica it's really neat to see people who know the language well. It's so incredibly fast to implement very impressive things.
Now, of course, in Mathematica, there's sort of an unfair advantage. In addition to the idea of symbolic programming—which is what lets Mathematica be such a high-level language—there's another point: Mathematica has an incredible amount of algorithmic knowledge built in. One of our goals with Mathematica has been to build in essentially every general algorithm one can imagine. In every area. Numerical computation. Image processing. Data analysis. Graph theory. Whatever. And that means that right there in the language, you can call on any of these things. It's just "free" inside your program to solve a traveling salesman problem, or to do elaborate image processing, or to diagonalize a giant sparse matrix.
And all this stuff is completely integrated in a coherent way into the core system. You're not chasing libraries, buying random toolboxes, and trying to glue all sorts of bits and pieces together, and hoping they'll work. You have all this functionality—all these algorithms—built right in to Mathematica, all arranged to be consistent and coherent.
You know, it's interesting. When we attack a new area, it's an interesting process. We're always building for the long term. Implementing in a very clean way everything that can reasonably be implemented. Usually we have to invent a lot of stuff. We figure out how to represent things in the most clean and coherent way. And that'll usually reveal holes where we have to invent completely new algorithms. And then we'll start automating things—and actually some of our most complex algorithms are ones we invent to make all that automation work smoothly and reliably.
When you use Mathematica, one of the great things is how scalable it is. I mean, you can start off just doing a line at a time, calculating and exploring something. But then you can start building little functions. Maybe making little user interfaces. Maybe running stuff in parallel, or on GPUs, or whatever. But you can just go on building. Serious large-scale Mathematica programmers tend to switch at some point to the Wolfram Workbench IDE. But the whole Mathematica system just scales right on up.
And Wolfram|Alpha, for example, is now a pretty big program, by anyone's standards: 15 million lines, of pure Mathematica code. Running in production on zillions of parallel machines. And you know, Mathematica itself is now mostly written in the Mathematica language.
And it's been pretty exciting, particularly these last few years. Watching how much the rate of Mathematica development has been accelerating. We've got these principles—of coherence and automation. And we've invested a huge amount in them. And in addition to benefiting all our users over all these years, they're also now paying this incredible dividend for us. Because they're letting us build Mathematica faster and faster.
Like in Mathematica 8 we added symbolic probability computations. And I think we did something really nice there. But what made it possible is that we could take for granted everything else in Mathematica. The calculus. The numerics. The computational geometry. Whatever. We can build faster and faster because we're constantly creating bigger and bigger building blocks. Which all fit together.
So that now Mathematica has by a huge margin the world's largest collection of built-in algorithms, all integrated together, and being used every day by a huge collection of people. At the front lines of R&D in essentially every industry. In every technical field. In essentially every Fortune 500 company. In every major university around the world. And in lots of unexpected places.
You know, it's been interesting. With its foundation in symbolic programming, and its core principles, Mathematica defines a whole way to think about computing. And as the years have gone by, we've gradually understood more and more just what the implications of that are, and what can be built on those foundations. And occasionally there've been some big jumps. Like in the mid 1990s, when we first introduced symbolic documents. Or in 2007, when we introduced dynamic interactivity, and functions like Manipulate—that provided a whole new paradigm for interacting with Mathematica. Being able not just to get static results. But instantly to use the symbolic power of Mathematica to generate dynamic programs as results.
You know, as I mentioned, I personally had sort of a selfish reason for wanting to build Mathematica in the first place: I wanted to use it. And actually, starting quite soon after Mathematica was first released, I was able to do that, in a big way. I kind of viewed Mathematica as a kind of computational analog of a telescope. But instead of peering into the astronomical universe, I was looking into the computational universe. Doing experiments with Mathematica to find out how programs out there in the computational universe behave.
Well, I discovered some really really interesting and surprising things. That I wrote a big book called A New Kind of Science about. And in addition to what that book had to say about science, it also suggested new ways to create algorithms, and new ways to think about computation.
Well, for a start, this has given us new ways to develop Mathematica. But actually, it's also given us something else. Because it gave me kind of a paradigmatic basis for Wolfram|Alpha. I had long thought about trying to take the world's knowledge and make it computable. But a few years ago, building on ideas from my science, and the practical capabilities of Mathematica, I set about building what has become Wolfram|Alpha. For those of you who haven't seen it, it lives on the web, and in apps, and embedded in an increasing range of places.
Here it is on the web. Let's start with something easy.
Well, OK. Wolfram|Alpha has tons of knowledge about the world.
We can ask it questions just in natural language.
It's got all kinds of data on all kinds of things.
Or here, let's try something educational.
Or let's compare two names.
And then it can take the birth curves, convolve with mortality curves, and so on.
It's got lots of real-time data coming in. So let's ask it about planes near us. Maybe we can click one, and see all sorts of details about it.
Or let's enter a genome sequence, and Wolfram|Alpha will figure out where that matches on the human genome.
Or let's do a more elaborate physics calculation. Right here.
The basic idea is always the same. You type in a query—just in ordinary natural language—and Wolfram|Alpha will use all the knowledge it has built in to compute an answer to your query. It's an incredibly complicated system. With data and models and algorithms from thousands of different domains. And a way—based on a bunch of pretty major breakthroughs—for understanding the free-form input people give. And underneath, as I said before, it's all Mathematica—a big Mathematica system.
There's a lot of exciting stuff going on with Wolfram|Alpha. But let me show you one thing. How Wolfram|Alpha gets plugged in to Mathematica. Normally Mathematica is a precise language that lets you build up arbitrarily large programs in a very careful way. But what if you put Wolfram|Alpha into it?
Here's how it works. Starting last year with Mathematica 8, you can give free-form input to Mathematica.
So you can just ask for a plot like this. And Wolfram|Alpha can translate that kind of vague input into precise Mathematica.
Let's ask to add a frame. Again, we'll get Mathematica code synthesized right from our free-form input. Or now let's do image processing. You can do data too.
Or let's say we ask for flags.
Now we can do edge detection.
It's great when you know how to write Mathematica, in the full language of Mathematica. But this free-form input means you don't have to know that language. You can just get started using Mathematica knowing only plain English. It's sort of another kind of automation: you just say what you want, and Mathematica figures out how to do it.
You know, with Mathematica, and now Wolfram|Alpha, we have a pretty amazing stack of technology. And right now we're just having a fantastic time understanding the implications of it all. And building some pretty remarkable new products.
You might have seen the 25 mobile apps that we've brought out. Or the bestselling ebooks that our spinoff company Touch Press has created using a Mathematica production pipeline. And in the coming months you'll be seeing some really remarkable products emerging, that build on both Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha. Products that I'm not embarrassed one bit have taken 25 years of technology development to produce.
By the way, I should mention a major product and direction that just came out a couple of months ago: CDF—the Computable Document Format. It's yet another of those ideas that's made possible by the symbolic nature of Mathematica: computable documents. It used to be the case that to make serious interactive content, you really didn't have any choice but to do all sorts of messy interface programming. But in Mathematica, we've always had what we call the notebook interface—in which everything you do is in a document, that, like everything in Mathematica, can be manipulated symbolically.
And using dynamic interactivity in Mathematica, we launched what we call the Wolfram Demonstrations Project. To which more than 7,000 Demonstrations have been contributed. All underneath written in Mathematica. And all acting like little apps embedded in documents. The Demonstrations Project is a great source of example code—supplementing the couple of hundred thousand examples in the Mathematica documentation system.
But now what CDF does is to provide a way to package interactive computable documents. So they can occur anywhere. In a web page. Wherever. You can use them to make a new generation of textbook and other educational material: a lot of work is going on in that. And you can use them to make interactive reports. Which I have to say are pretty spectacular.
I mean, I insisted a while ago that all the reports inside our company get generated as CDFs, and it's really amazing how much more powerful it is to be able to interact dynamically with a report, and recompute what you want.
And of course there's more unification. Because now Wolfram|Alpha can generate CDF. So in effect one's going straight from free-form natural language to interactive programs. Just a typical example of what's possible with all this technology that we have, that fits together so well.
And, to me as a system designer, often what happened was pretty satisfying: they just tried the obvious thing—the most clean and direct way of attacking their project in Mathematica. And it just worked. And they were able to go all the way from beginning to end just using Mathematica.
Well, I think I should wrap up here. I hope through today you'll have a chance to learn a little more about Mathematica. We're very proud of Mathematica and of what so many people have been able to do with Mathematica over the years. Though you haven't seen anything yet!
This is a question we try to think since 2009. Last years our eight grade pupil checked that Russian graduate exam for a middle school (K-12 level or so) can be solved at least to a "passed" mark by W|A. Maybe that is nothing. However, there is a probability people would decide not to study whatever a computer can do more effectively. The example which we have in mind: a chess world champion name is now shoud be always added "among people". Just look what happened with the chess popularity recent years… The similar story can easily be repeated with math skill… Then…. who will develop Mathematica or W|A in the nearest future? People who do not have an internet?
Gorod really made that point I've thought about. However, I am not an educator of math, for now at least. I do calculate things on physics and I do find this Mathematica is gorgeous comparing to C codes well-written. In fact, I am transforming a code of C written by senior to complete my job now simply because I cannot tolerate running her code again and again just changing some parameters. I don't wanna be a machine! I should mathematica is basically far more close to math than C or Matlab, though somehow more popular in my location.
I am the student of Mathematics and I am proud that I am the user of Mathematica. It is the great tool for Mathematician.
Well,I'm a brazilian student and I'm feeling so wondered with that amazing tool :Mathematica.
Wolfram is a genius system designer! Of course he is working out for show to the world many other incredible stuff.


DES MOINES, Iowa — Three livestock market analysts offered their thoughts and price predictions for the U.S. hog market over the rest of 2019.
The analysts spoke after the release of the second quarter U.S. Department of Agriculture hogs and pigs report, in a call sponsored by the National Pork Board and Pork Checkoff.
All of the experts said that U.S. pork exports should see sizeable increases for 2019, due to the ongoing African swine fever epidemic among the hog herd in China.
Grier said he expects a boost in exports, as well as premiums due to pork scarcity with the ongoing ASF situation in China, to fuel prices.
"I have exports in the next four quarters up by 25% to 30%. That sounds like a lot. Exports have been 20% to 25% of U.S. production and my forecasts of 25% growth really only amount to 25% to 30% of U.S. production," Grier said.
Bos, too, has a positive outlook when it comes to U.S. pork exports going forward. He said he believes wholesale demand will drive prices but only at the front end of the next few months, not through the rest of the year.
"I have some pretty generous export projections included in the price forecasts, a 10% year-over-year increase in total pork exports in the second quarter and then a 31% increase in total U.S. pork exports in the third and fourth quarters," Bos said.
Nalivka is optimistic on exports — but says packer margins need to be considered.
"I am quite optimistic on that myself but there is a limit to how high you can run these prices and still maintain a margin at the packer level. We are already going to cut the packer margin this year by a third of what it was last year. Instead of a $25 packer margin, we'll end up with a $15 packer margin," Nalivka said.
Second quarter — low to mid $60s.
Third quarter — low to mid $70s.
Fourth quarter — low $60s.

Are You Prepared For An Adventure?
Waden
Ten years ago an amazing feat had been achieved. One of the most spectacular films of nature was created, and it awed its audience. Now in 2017, the sequel is released. This is a movie that does not only continue the story of the planet Earth but enhances it. With new technology and additional environments incorporated, David Attenborough takes his spectators on a thrilling ride through some of the most unique and rare wildlife filled ecosystems on the third rock from the Sun.
The crew traveled to almost every type of habitat to capture life from the view of the animals themselves. Permeated with an environmental message and presented in an extraordinary way, this piece will launch you around the globe and through its grasslands, deserts, jungles, mountains, islands, and cities. From the beginning viewers are immersed in the very homes and daily activities of the animals that are featured. Elephants, Sloths, Bears, Komodo Dragons, and yes, even the elusive Snow Leopards are part of this spellbinding video series. There are many other animals to be fascinated by as well, but the ecosystems are equally brilliant. You can purchase the DVD from Amazon or visit BBC One on the Web.
Here are a few of the animals you will meet-
Islands– In this habitat you will encounter the Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth at Escudo Island, Panama; The Komodo Dragon at the Komodo and Rinca Islands, Indonesia; The Marine Iguanas at Fernandina, Galapagos; The Chinstrap Penguins at Zavodovski Island (Midway between South America and Antarctica)
Mountains– In this rugged terrain you will be immersed with the Snow Leopards at Himalayas, Ladakh, India; The Golden Eagle in the French Alps; The Grizzly Bear at Alberta, Canada; Bobcats in Yellowstone National Park, USA
Jungles– Bioluminescent Fungi will illuminate your eyes from the Coconut Forest, Brazil: The Birds of Paradise at West Papua, Indonesia
Deserts– Watch out! Here comes a swarm of Locust from South West Madagascar; Golden Mole in Namib Desert, Namibia; Bats vs Scorpions in the Negev Desert, Israel
Grasslands– Be cautious as there may be Swamp Lions nearby from the Okavango Delta, Botswana; Serval Cat in Karoo, South Africa
Cities– They have attacked two hundred people in Mumbai, India in the past 25 years…so beware of these Leopards; Peregrine Falcons in New York, USA; Hyenas at Harar, Ethiopia
