The goal for all corporate marketers is simple: to drive sales locally, keep the brand compliant, and implement seamless, effective, relevant campaigns. The Distribion multi-channel marketing platform optimizes the marketing implementation process by putting materials, campaigns and all marketing processes at the fingertips of local sales agents at the time they are needed. The Distribion solution is created to meet the needs of your entire marketing and sales organization.
It's a consistent and constant goal for marketer's across industries to have their "brand" remain top of mind to consumers at all times. A brand is what creates an impression in a consumer's mind. It should be wrapped around a positive experience, associated with certain images, logos, copy points and a look and feel that is easily recognized.
With the Distribion Distributed Marketing Platform, branding is controlled at all levels and compliance is maintained through a secured digital asset management system. This centralized repository of all branded material is accessed via a permission-based only log-in by corporate and local sales individuals. Although these individuals have access to all branded items and the flexibility to customize and personalize these materials for local marketing efforts, key components including logos, taglines, color specifications, graphics and anything directly relating to brand compliance cannot be compromised. This keeps every element of your marketing arsenal safe, secure and completely controlled.
The Distribion multi-channel solution focuses on the distributed marketing model, which is applicable in numerous industries. The distributed marketing model is a business model where a corporation with one or more brands sells its products and services through a network of regional or local channels. These channels take on numerous different forms, and can be found in both large and small organizations. All types of distributed marketing organizations share the commonality of operating in an environment of increasing marketing complexity. Issues contributing to the complexity, include but are not limited to, time to market, campaign management and ownership, and maintenance of brand standards throughout an organization.
Keys to success in a distributed model include a strong connection between corporate marketing with local sales, and both corporate and local establishing a strong connection with consumers. The Distribion Distributed Marketing Platform facilitates these success factors.
Each industry is different, but the goal is the same: to increase revenue, market share and productivity. This means that a compliant marketing automation system must empower local sales agents to select and deliver effective marketing campaigns quickly and easily without sacrificing the corporate control required for brand and regulatory compliance.

A cluster of boxes running Linux dramatically ended Microsoft's monopoly on a key decision support benchmark and bounced Redmond out of first place in the category.
The benchmark is the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-H benchmark for ad-hoc decision support queries in the 100 GB size category.
From March 2000 until earlier this month, only system vendors running Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000 published results (nine in all) with the TPC in the category.
Then a cluster of four SGI 1450 four-processor servers running Linux 2.4.3 and IBM's new 7.2 version of its DB2 UDB database scored 2,733 QphH (queries per hour on the TPC-H benchmark).
The result was a 60 percent performance improvement over the top Windows 2000/SQL Server 2000 result, run on an eight-processor Compaq ProLiant 8000 in July 2000.

The way people work has been changing. No longer is it commonplace for a worker to spend their entire career at one company. In some cases, even working a single full time job at all is a thing of the past. Many workers have eschewed the structural limitations of the 9-to-5 and the physical office in favor of becoming independent contractors; freelancers; in short, by becoming entrepreneurs. While the flexibility and autonomy is enticing, being a freelancer means hard work, networking to land good gigs, and producing great work to boost your reputation. Here's a look at the lay of the freelancing land and some advice on how to succeed out on your own.
According to a study by Upwork and Freelancers Union, 60 percent of freelancers in the U.S. started freelancing by choice versus necessity, and 67 percent of freelancers agree that more people are choosing to work independently today compared to three years ago.
Freelancing offers freedom and flexibility, and many workers are opting for this lifestyle over traditional, full-time opportunities. For instance, Nick DiUlio, a freelance journalist and adjunct professor of journalism at Rowan University in New Jersey, had been freelancing in his spare time and assumed it would be a stopgap between full-time gigs.
"It started as a way to get out of a toxic workplace where I was unhappy," DiUlio told Business News Daily. "I loved the flexibility and variety. After a year, I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else."
Whatever your skill set, it's important to recognize market demand to keep your freelance business running. According to a study performed by FlexJobs, these are the top 15 companies for hiring freelancers so far this year.
DiUlio advises having a well-thought-out plan and doing your research before you begin looking for freelance work.
"You need to know and approach [freelancing] with an economic plan," DiUlio said. "Web-based writing is a little easier, because the payment turnaround is quicker, as opposed to print which could have 30-, 60- or 90-day turnarounds."
Knowing payment structure, how much you'll get paid and when is invaluable information for your freelancing career, he added.
Most importantly, think of yourself as a business of one, said Ryan Johnson, director of categories at Upwork.
"Budget time to build your personal brand and market yourself," Johnson said. "In addition, allocate some of your time to refreshing your existing skills and adding new ones. Businesses are increasingly turning to freelance marketplaces to access skills that an in-house team doesn't have. Keeping yourself up-to-date with new and emerging trends will make you more desirable."
It's important to remember to keep in touch with your contacts, and to make new ones, said Michael Parker, vice president of collaboration at join.me. Networking is especially important for freelancers, to help get new client leads.
"Attend industry events you're interested in," Parker said. "Go to other events to network with prospective clients and sources."
The best way to start once you're ready? Just do it.
"Once you set up [an online] profile and land your first project, you'll be able to showcase your work, receive client reviews and start building your online reputation," Johnson said. "You should view your profile as a more innovative, better version of a résumé, since it provides proof of your work."
Whether you make a career out of freelancing or use it as a part-time platform, acknowledge your worth and don't work for free, DiUlio said.
"[For] your work, whatever that may be, you deserve to be paid," he said.

What's at Stake? Ohio and the War against Workers
Across the country we are seeing conservative governors and
legislators make it a priority to stamp out workers' rights and
eliminate unions. These lawmakers are hiding behind the guise of fiscal
austerity and budget cuts in order to move a conservative corporate
agenda that seeks to weaken the power of workers to organize and bargain
collectively for better wages and a better quality of life.
Nowhere is this more evident than in Ohio, where GOP Governor John
Kasich has already stated that collective bargaining rights for low
income, mostly minority women workers are "toast" under his
administration. Meanwhile, in a sign that it's just politics as usual,
Gov. Kasich announced a pay raise for his own senior staff before even
coming into office.
Tonight in Cincinnati, on the eve of Martin Luther King Day, hundreds
of workers will take the conversation back by holding a gathering by
candlelight at City Hall. They will join community leaders, clergy and
union members to call on Gov. Kasich to honor Dr. King's legacy by
rebuilding the middle class and, rather than stripping them of rights,
protecting child care and home care workers who do some of the hardest
work in our society.
Ohio is a poster child of the problem around the country.
Joblessness in Ohio is at 9.8 percent and over half a million workers
are struggling to find work. But instead of focusing on how to put
Ohioans back to work, Gov. Kasich is determined to weaken the voice of
workers and weaken the middle class just to pay back big business
special interests.
Across the country, workers will take up this fight and push back on
politicians who, even at this time of record economic inequality, want
to scapegoat workers for financial conditions that were caused by Wall
Street and corporate greed.
Part of that effort will be to push back on the many myths that have
pervaded the national conversation on public workers - and the efforts
to pit private sector and public sector workers against one another.
The Truth about Public Sector Workers
- Public employees are the hard-working people who provide the vital
services we depend on. These are our firefighters, nurses, teachers,
and police officers who have committed their lives to public service.
-Republican legislators and corporate special interests are joining
together - not to create jobs, but to launch vicious attacks against
public employees.
-According to the Economy Policy Institute (EPI), after accounting
for factors including level of education, hours worked and non-cash
compensation, on average, full-time state and local employees are
undercompensated compared to "otherwise similar private-sector workers."
-Private sector workers earned average annual wages of
$55,132 - $6,061 greater than the $49,072 earned by public sector
workers.
-When looking at total compensation including
employer-provided benefits, the gap narrowed, but the private sector
workers still earned $2,001 more per year than public sector workers
($71,109 in total compensation, versus $69,108).
-Public employees are not to blame for the current budget crises in
the states. Public employees pay a significant portion of the costs of
their pensions. It's the politicians who failed to make the required
contributions and put these pension funds in a hole. Furthermore, these
are modest benefits - of the 7.7 million retired state and local
government workers in 2008, the average retirement benefit was $22,653.
Workers Fighting Back Around the Country
In the coming months, working families will join with community
members in their states to change the conversation by holding events
like the one in Ohio - by writing letters, calling lawmakers, organizing
petitions and educating the public about the effort to scapegoat
workers. Already in states workers are standing up and calling on
lawmakers to work on fixing our economy:
In Missouri: "Labor union leaders speak out against making Missouri a
Right to Work State, saying it wouldn't create jobs or increase
revenue." [Missouri.net ,1/11/11, https://bit.ly/i39y5a]
"The Missouri AFL-CIO says Missourians are looking for action by the
legislature on one issue -- jobs. And the labor organization says it will
work with business groups to get Missourians back to work."
[Missouri.net, 1/11/11, https://bit.ly/fxL6ml]
In Florida: "The AFL-CIO and two outside experts Monday disputed what
they say are "myths" that Florida's public employee retirement plans
are underfunded and provide lavish benefits.[Bloomberg, 1/10/11, https://bit.ly/fNdN7f]
In Indiana: "Opponents of a so-called "right to work" law are keeping
the pressure on at the statehouse. A day after House Democrats invoked a
seldom-used rule to force a vote to try to kill the bill without a
hearing, the Indiana AFL-CIO dispatched 75 grocery and food-processing
workers to the statehouse to lobby against the bill." [WIBC, 1/6/11, https://bit.ly/hfK2mS]
In Ohio: "Incoming state leaders plan to target public employment
laws in 2011, but this past week backers of the collective bargaining
process promised to put up a fight." [Lancaster Eagle Gazette, 1/2/11, https://bit.ly/eNteeN]
"Republicans won't be able to alleviate Ohio's budget crisis by
weakening the power of government-worker unions to bargain collectively
for their members, a liberal policy group said yesterday." [Columbus
Dispatch, 12/31/10, https://bit.ly/eIH214]
In Wisconsin: "You will find that right-to-work legislation has no
bearing on job creation. You will also find in right-to-work states that
the middle-class worker is compensated less, has no say-so about safety
or issues in the workplace and can be fired at will for no reason at
all." [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 12/28/11, https://bit.ly/gAozoj]
IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS, workers will engage with state and
local lawmakers and with the community on what state legislatures should
really be focused on - creating jobs and bringing balance back to our
economy. In Indiana, workers are unveiling a "workers' bill of rights,"
outlining the priorities of working people to create a middle-class
economy. In Wisconsin, working people are keeping close watch on Gov.
Scott Walker, who pledged to create 250,000 jobs during his campaign,
demanding to know "where are the jobs?" And in Missouri, working people
are holding politicians accountable through a series of events to
highlight their record in the creation of jobs and pointing to their
corporate ties.
And that's just the beginning...
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) works tirelessly to improve the lives of working people. We are the democratic, voluntary federation of 56 national and international labor unions that represent 12.5 million working men and women.

'Our Job Is to Pick Up the Baton,' Says Poor People's Campaign on MLK Day
"Today and every day let's honor King as we end racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the denial of healthcare, militarism, and this false narrative of Christian nationalism," said Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis.
To mark Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, leaders of a modern iteration of the slain civil rights champion's final campaign called on U.S. politicians from both sides of the aisle—many of whose policies and actions are like those King condemned as the "evil triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism"—to step up and meet the needs of the country's poor and low-income people.
Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival released a video demanding the Biden administration and every member of Congress "meet with poor and low-wealth people, religious leaders, economists, lawyers, and public health specialists to address the systemic policy violence that threatens the soul of our nation."
"When prophets are killed or assassinated, our job is to pick up the baton and continue the work," campaign co-chair Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II said in the video. "Sadly, many will go to King events today and claim to honor the prophet. Elected officials on both sides of the aisle will go while even today, they are standing diametrically opposed to the things he fought for: addressing systemic poverty, addressing racism, ensuring voter protection, just immigration policy, just treatment of Indigenous people, healthcare for all, and dealing with the war economy and militarism."
As they do each year, officials—including Republican lawmakers who voted against an MLK Day holiday, the U.S. government King called "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today," and its agencies like the FBI that tried to destroy King—all took to Twitter to sing his praises.
Poor People's Campaign Petition Congress to Truly Honor MLK Legacy | Press Conferencewww.youtube.com
Rev. Liz Theoharis, also a co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, said in the video that "this Martin Luther King Day, we must continue a campaign for social, political, and economic rights, not simply commemorate a man. Today and every day let's honor King as we end racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the denial of healthcare, militarism, and this false narrative of Christian nationalism. Let us fight poverty, not people."
The video also includes messages from low-income Americans and advocates calling for healthcare, living wages, "and more so everyone can thrive."
"I live in North Carolina. I work 60 hours a week and more and I still don't make enough money to live comfortably," Matthew Byars said in the video. "I'm chasing the American Dream, but I'm living the American nightmare. Raise the minimum wage. Impacted people matter too."
King, along with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, launched the original Poor People's Campaign in December 1967, months before he was assassinated in Memphis while supporting a strike by Black sanitation workers. King said the movement's demands were $30 billion for anti-poverty programs, full employment for all, a guaranteed universal income, and the annual construction of 500,000 affordable homes.
SCLC president Ralph Abernathy led the campaign after King's murder, and in May 1968—just weeks after King's murder—his widow, Coretta Scott King, led demonstrators in a two-week protest in Washington, D.C., where participants demanded an Economic Bill of Rights.

'Deeply Sinister': Emails Reveal Big Pharma Pushed Twitter to Silence Vaccine Equity Voices
"At a time when online mobilizations were one of the few forms of protest available to the public, Twitter was seemingly asked to shield the powerful from criticism," said one campaigner. "That should worry all those who care about accountability."
Drugmaker BioNTech and the German government pushed Twitter to "hide" posts by activists calling on Big Pharma to temporarily lift patents on Covid-19 vaccines—a move which would have given people the Global South greater access to the lifesaving inoculations, a report published Monday by The Intercept revealed.
Twitter lobbyist Nina Morschhaeuser "flagged the corporate accounts of Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca for her colleagues to monitor and shield from activists," according to The Intercept's Lee Fang. An email from Morschhaeuser said the German Federal Office for Information Security also contacted Twitter on behalf of BioNTech, whose spokesperson, Jasmina Alatovic, asked the social media giant to "hide" activist tweets targeting her company's account for two days.
Morschhaeuser, meanwhile, requested that colleagues track the hashtags #PeoplesVaccine—a movement for the temporary lifting of patent protections—and #JoinCTAP, a reference to the World Health Organization's Covid-19 Technology Access Pool. Morschhaeuser further warned that the advocacy group Global Justice Now shared an online signup form for a December 2020 People's Vaccine Day of Action.
"The allegations in this article suggest that government and industry tried to silence legitimate criticism during a crisis," Maaza Seyoum, Global South convener at the People's Vaccine Alliance, said in a statement Monday. "At a time when online mobilizations were one of the few forms of protest available to the public, Twitter was seemingly asked to shield the powerful from criticism. That should worry all those who care about accountability."
\u201c\ud83d\udce2 REACTION: German government and @BioNTech_Group asked Twitter to censor vaccine equity critics.\n\nNew #TwitterFiles piece by @lhfang shows how they worked to silence activists demanding a #PeoplesVaccine\n\nRead our reaction: https://t.co/VyaSBIbWnS\n\n1/\u201d
— The People's Vaccine (@The People's Vaccine) 1673889107
Global Justice Now director Nick Dearden also noted the troubling timing of BioNTech's censorship request during a period of global pandemic lockdowns.
"To try and stifle digital dissent during a pandemic, when tweets and emails are some of the only forms of protest available to those locked in their homes, is deeply sinister," he told The Intercept.
Fang writes:
It is not clear to what extent Twitter took any action on BioNTech's request. In response to Morschhaeuser's inquiry, several Twitter officials chimed in, debating what action could or could not be taken. Su Fern Teo, a member of the company's safety team, noted that a quick scan of the activist campaign showed nothing that violated the company's terms of service, and asked for more examples to "get a better sense of the content that may violate our policies."
But it shows the extent to which pharmaceutical giants engaged in a global lobbying blitz to ensure corporate dominance over the medical products that became central to combating the pandemic. Ultimately, the campaign to share Covid vaccine recipes around the world failed.
While U.S. President Joe Biden in 2021 heeded activists' calls and joined most of the Global South in backing a Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) waiver at the World Trade Organization, most rich nations—including Germany—oppose the policy and have, along with Big Pharma, fought to thwart it.
"If the German government wants to show that it is now willing to side with public health over private profit, it must change its approach to pandemic response," Seyoum asserted. "That means backing efforts at the World Trade Organization to improve access to generic Covid-19 medicines and treatments, supporting the World Health Organization's mRNA Hub in South Africa, and standing up to corporate interests in negotiations over a Pandemic Treaty."
Outrage After Kerry Backs UAE Oil Exec as President of UN Climate Summit
Critics rebuke U.S. climate envoy for calling Sultan al-Jaber a "terrific choice."
Julia Conley
Progressives on Monday reacted with outrage and disbelief after U.S. climate envoy John Kerry backed the appointment of Sultan al-Jaber to lead the the United Nations' annual conference on the climate emergency, saying the CEO of the United Arab Emirates' state-run oil company was not only qualified to preside over the summit, but that his background strengthened the case for his presidency.
As Common Dreamsreported last week, the UAE named al-Jaber as president of the 28th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28), scheduled to begin in November—a decision that was met with scorn from campaigners as al-Jaber is heads the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and a renewable energy firm in which ADNOC holds a 24% stake.
"I think that Dr. Sultan al-Jaber is a terrific choice because he is the head of the company. That company knows it needs to transition," Kerry told the Associated Press Sunday, despite the fact that scientists and advocates across the globe have also known for decades that policymakers must lead a rapid transition away from oil and gas-generated energy. "He knows—and the leadership of the UAE is committed to transitioning."
Advocates have warned that the UAE has not made clear how it plans to reach its stated goal of being carbon neutral by 2050, especially as it plans to increase production of crude oil by a million barrels per day.
The UAE is expected to become "the third largest expander of oil and gas production" between 2023 and 2025 as ADNOC embarks on the second-largest expansion of oil production of any company in the world, locking in more than 2.7 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions.
But when asked by Sky News Arabia about whether al-Jaber would have a conflict of interest at the conference, where leaders are expected to be pushed to take significant emissions-reduction steps, Kerry dismissed the concern.
"That's a first blush, very simplistic way to look at this," Kerry said, adding that "the only way we will meet this crisis and protect our citizens and build an economy for the future, is by reducing emissions."
Putting the ADNOC executive—who is also the UAE's climate enjoy and minister of industry and technology—in charge of COP28 drew comparisons from Progressive International leader Yanis Varoufaki to naming "a jihadist to oversee religious tolerance" or "a Nazi to oversee racial harmony."

COP28 will follow the two most recent international climate conferences, held in Glasgow, Scotland and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where hundreds of fossil fuel lobbyists were in attendance and policymakers failed to hammer out a final agreement requiring countries to phase out oil, coal, and gas extraction.
Kerry toldSky News Arabia that the UAE was not "involved in changing" the outcome of the COP26 and COP27 talks.
The former secretary of state acknowledged that there would be "a level of scrutiny" aimed at al-Jaber's appointment.
"And I think that's going to be very constructive," he told the AP. "It's going to help people, you know, stay on the line here. I think this is a time, a new time of accountability."
Acknowledging Kerry's negotiating of the Paris climate agreement in 2015—which despite its many flaws and shortcomings represents the strongest global pact ever reached on the issue—Leo Roberts of the climate think tank E3G said on social media that the U.S. politician's endorsement of el-Jaber represents "a really rather spectacular fall from grace."

Ignore them. Why do you care what other people think about philosophy? Do you read literature to influence the opinions of other people, or to educate yourself on different subjects?
Life is too short to care what other people think, dude.
philosophy is goof for understanding how ideology operates, influencing power structures in society. it's good at understanding culture and all it's subjective biases and prejudices.
science is good at studying physical nature from an objective and impartial perspective, helping create technologies and services that can be of use to mankind.
BOTH are necessary to any serious scholar or thinker. they are the yin to each other's yang.

Is Nick Land just a rehashing of Deleuze and Guattari, or does he have something new to offer to the philosophical (or anti-philosophical) front? Non-dialectic discourse that focuses on unity perspectives appears to be the main flagship statement of Land's. The essay "Meltdown" is a nice summation of his overall anti-ideological outlook on life. Thoughts on the essay (it's only 7 pages, so please read) or on Land in general?

I want /lit/ advice about booktuber... Anonymous 2016-03-28 11:53:30 Post No. 7860191 [Report] [View thread]
I was searching booktuber and I found these :
>90 % are females
>can't find booktuber that do not promote/like trash Lit such as Harry Potter,John green...
>10% of them are gays
>95 % are libtard, cannot find a fucking booktuber with a mind able to think and to promote deep works or philosopher
>Most are daugther of a rich and feminist
>I cannot bear them when I watch them
So,...
booktubing is not literature doe
So there's a gap in the market for pretentious twats like myself? A sort of Fantano of booktubery?
Why don't you watch actual literary critics talk about books?

Why is /lit/ under 'Other' on the main page when it clearly falls under both 'Interest' and 'Creative?'
What fruit is this?
Moot was an uncultured illiterate for whom anime was a driving force when he was a little boy.
now he is an uncultured illiterate who has neither the pride or personal integrity to own up to what he created and the reactionary cultural forces it represents in today's youth, hence selling the site to an ESL seller of personal data.
>What fruit is this?
Its a cunt. Or an arsehole. Or balls. Depends on how you eat it.
>Why is /lit/ under 'Other'
The boards are organised in a certain way for cultural reasons. Lurk more.

Who here fell for the Paris meme?
The Paris of the novels is not the Paris of today.
Today, it's mainly a giant toilet with some people living in it, looking for that last place where no-one has pissed yet.
A similar fate befell Vienna (see World of Yesterday) - from cultural center of the world to nothing.
untravelled poorfag here. Any unironical answers as to what changed in Paris and Vienna of today to make them not /lit/ places anymore? (tl;dr on the whining ausfag's memoir)
emblematic places turned into touristic traps filled with annoying niggers trying to sell you shit every two steps, dirt in the streets and having to avoid gypsy scammers and pickpockets wherever you go

Is bell hooks worth checking out?
I'm somewhat of a Marxists but I'm still undecided in regard to Feminism, especially the intersectional kind. Anyway, I'd like to read some Feminist theory.
Is bell hooks the right place to start?
personally i think feminism is sort of an inherent part of marxism as a whole, or in the very least lends itself to the idea
either way yeah bell hooks is a pretty good starting place, she does a good job at being critical and analytical without stooping into bullshit identity privilege politics
yes, bell hooks is quite good
Cool. What books should I pick up first?

World hierarchy Anonymous 2016-03-28 16:08:27 Post No. 7860732 [Report] [View thread]
Do you know of any books that discuss an alternative world hierarchy?
I have been thinking that Nature is the most noble thing on Earth, followed by Animals, followed by Humans. Most humans act like a destructive plague, destroying nature and killing animals and other humans for no reason whatsoever. If I was God, I would hate humans for ruining nature and killing innocent beings. So it is my theory that nature and animals are above humans.
definitely look into deep ecology
the wikipedia article will whitewash it but some of the people into it are notoriously extreme
also anarcho-primitivism, if you rummage around in there you will find similarly extreme people
some of them are relatively mainstream while holding views like "we should kill 95% of humans and live in harmony with nature"
no hierarchy.

Has any other philosopher destroyed Nietzsche to the extent that Jesus does? He totally undermines the radical freedom of the Overman. It would all be true even if he weren't God.

Feels so fucking bad.
I have a crush on a girl who attended a top university (she was also privately educated) and I'm too intimidated by this fact to talk to her considering I attended a mediocre one.
this is incredibly autistic. even for lit.

DO | What is Love?

With the colder winter months comes "cuffing season", a time filled with romantic desperation and the palpably depressing knowledge of our own loneliness. Maybe it's the dreary winter sky, the grueling end-of-year retrospection or the frigid, icy winds evoking a grave desire for the fleeting warmth and comfort of another forlorn soul's embrace: There could be any number of reasons, really.
Cornellians should be especially familiar with seasonal depression. In exchange for the beautiful gold and auburn of fall, we spend the better part of five months locked into Jack Frost's crosshairs. With this comes an extended cuffing season, as students attempt to escape the dread of the Big Red Grind with an equally burnt-out partner by their side.
I'll be the first to admit that college dating has never made much sense to me. College is an extremely chaotic period filled with transition and uncertainty, not to mention, it only lasts four years. Are the intimacy and emotional connection of romance really worth the risks that come with the impending separation of graduation? Why does everyone else seem to be happy with their partners while my world is a never ending onslaught of emptiness and imagined romantic scenarios?
These dilemmas have me pondering the question posed by intellectual greats like Haddaway and TWICE: What is love? I'm asking merely out of journalistic curiosity, of course, as I'm perfectly content being single. Couldn't be happier, really.
It should first be said that there are many different types of love. We love our partners, parents, children, friends and favorite BTS members all in (hopefully) very different ways. I, however, like most other college students, am only interested in talking about romantic love, as it's perhaps the most difficult variant of love to attain on this screwed-up ball of rock and heartache we call Earth.
Love is, at its core, a feeling of strong affection. It's a very strange concoction of emotions that makes us desire a certain person's exclusive romantic attention. Very rarely is love this straightforward, though; problems typically arise once we consider that not only do you have to love the other person, but the other person has to love you back.
Countless psychological theories attempt to explain the complicated web of small-spooning and misery that is love. One such theory proposed by Prof. Robert Sternberg, psychology, suggests that the three components of love are intimacy, passion and commitment. I learned about his theory in-depth while taking his class, HD 1170: Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood, which I highly recommend.
Credit to Dr. Sternberg for his decades of industry-leading work in psychology, but as a 19 year-old college student who's done well in one of his undergraduate-level courses, I think I also have some valuable thoughts to share on the matter. In my formally published and thus supremely insightful opinion, love consists of three main ingredients – friendship, attraction and discernment – and the overarching final touch of time. I call it the F.A.D. Theory, because, let's be real, that's what most college relationships are, anyway.
Friendship is a surprisingly underrated element of love, at least in the age of hookups. Rom-coms love their love-at-first-sight and enemies-to-lovers stories, but I've always thought the slow burn of close friendship to romance is the ideal path. Establishing a friendship with someone you're interested in can help uncover a lot of romantic red flags and also ensures that your interest isn't conditional on reciprocation.
Attraction is a rather straightforward ingredient, and one I've discussed at length in a previous column. Despite my stance in that column that the importance of beauty is often inflated, I want to acknowledge that physical attraction to one's partner is vital to establishing and maintaining love. Not only will it strengthen friendship, but physical attraction is the cornerstone to love's 'roided-up, bastard cousin: Sex.
I like to think of love and sex as a brains-and-brawn buddy cop team, à la 21 Jump Street. Sex is the brawn, providing the muscle and adrenaline, while love is the brain, strategically employing the brawn and supplying it with the proper intel. Love without sex is too timid to accomplish anything, while sex without love manhandles everything in its sight, with little regard to long-term consequences or the actual mission.
Sex analogies aside, we are left with our final core ingredient of love: Discernment. The F.A.D. Theory defines discernment as the ability to frankly assess the prospects of one's love. Maybe this is just a reflection of my personality, but I've always thought that love is often rushed into before factors like values and personal shortcomings can be properly considered.
Bringing such baggage as conflicting worldviews or hidden, shameful imperfections into a relationship practically spells disaster for everyone involved. I don't want to downplay the transformative power of love, but rather emphasize that true love is a love for a whole person. Young people nowadays are so overloaded with stressful emotions and responsibilities that they often turn to romance as an escape, thinking that love will heal them. In reality, though, love is what comes after the healing. We can't expect anyone else to fully embrace us as romantic partners if there are skeletons in our closets that we're not even willing to confront.
I want to close by highlighting the importance of the fourth, overarching piece of the F.A.D. Theory, which is time. I can't blame anyone for desiring the affection and emotional security of romance, but love that lasts demands time. The best advice that I, a college student with no real relationship experience, can give is to spend your time building friendships and learning about yourself. Interact with new personalities and find out what kind of people you have chemistry with. Once you're ready to wholly love and be loved, the right person will make themselves known to you. And even if they don't, you'll at least have Ithaca's long winter months to wait some more.

DZODZOMENYO | I Know the Nights Are Cold, But Sis, Relax
By Edem Dzodzomenyo November 13, 2019
I recently took my best friend to my date night, tucked her into bed and then woke up in the middle of the night to find her gone. I didn't have to check Find My Friends to know she was one block down the street at a fraternity annex in the bed of a guy who only texts her as the hour approaches midnight every Saturday — like clockwork.

As X-Men: Apocalypse wraps up the latest chapter of the X-film saga, 20th Century Fox looks to transition their corner of the Marvel world onto the small screen. Recently, the studio set their sights on creating two new X-universe offshoots, Hellfire and Legion. The latter show, drafted by Fargo creator Noah Hawley, explores Professor X's son for FX.
Hawley's take on Legion is a less-traditional, nuanced concept for the X-Men world, one more psychological than straightforward superhero-based. Apparently, his vision, as well as his success with Fargo, translated well to the network heads.
While loosely related to the X-Men realm, FX President John Landgraf announced that Legion wouldn't directly connect to the overall film universe. Instead, the show will sift through the murky world of David Haller, the illegitimate son of Charles Xavier and former patient Gabrielle Haller. Although it's uncertain how closely the show will mirror Haller's origin story, the first season will undoubtedly be ambiguous and surreal as he discovers the degree to which his 'powers' are just in his head. The new series, as well as the villain-based Hellfire (if picked up), will mine aspects of the mutant world left fairly unexplored in the film world.
However, the presence of Kinberg and Singer as executive producers does suggest a possible X-Men connectivity. Even if the film and television worlds remain separate (as with DC and Marvel, in general), the show would have to abandon Haller's origin story entirely to skirt around the character's connection to Xavier and other mutants such as Mystique and the New Mutants. However, the show may choose to ignore many threads from its source comics, despite Hawley's initial speculation, instead focusing on Haller and his unique blend of madness/emerging power and those around him.
Legion is set to air on FX in early 2017.

Match Preview: Woking
All you need to know ahead of this weekend's game against Woking.
Sam Togwell and Andy Yiadom are both unavailable for selection as the pair complete the last of their three-match bans following their red cards against Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup.
- This top of the table clash sees Martin Allen's league leaders travel to third-placed Woking.
- The Cardinals currently sit ten points behind the Bees with two games in hand.
- Their last outing saw them record an impressive 3-1 win away at fellow promotion chasers Halifax live on BT Sport.
"It is an exciting week. It is another game and another challenge that we face on Saturday.
"They have just come off the back of a great result winning away at Halifax. They have got good players, they are a good team and I suppose it is a bit of a local derby as well. Woking is not that far away so it is an exciting game.
"We have got no injuries, we have just got a couple of suspensions with this being the last game of the three-match bans that Sam Togwell and Andy Yiadom picked up from the FA Cup game. Apart from that, everybody is fit and well and looking forward to another game."
- The Bees only won a single point against Woking last season, drawing 0-0 at the Kingfield Stadium in October before going down 3-1 to the Cardinals at The Hive.
- Interestingly, four of the last eight games between the two sides have finished in goalless draws.
- The Bees' last victory against Woking came in April 2002, when a brace from Wayne Purser helped secure a 3-1 win.

The Bees return to action as they welcome Premier League outfit Crystal Palace to The Hive tonight.

FourSquare Nabs
41 Million from Investors
Written by Miylah McGuire, 7 years ago, 0 Comments

Everyone, it seems, has an opinion about Foursquare, the New York-based check-in and recommendations app that was the breakout darling of SXSW 2009.
Former Square COO Keith Rabois recently engaged in a very public dustup with Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley on Twitter, tweeting that only a "Hail Mary Bebo-style acquisition will bail you out." In January, data and research company PrivCo predicted that the startup will fail by the end of the year, eventually surrendering to an acquisition price of no more than $50 million (though the analysis didn't account for mobile traffic). In November of last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that investors were "cooling" on Foursquare. "The company claims more than 25 million registered users, but only about 8 million of them use the app at least once a month," it wrote.
Now, Businessweek reports that Foursquare has raised $41 million in loans and convertible debt from Silver Lake Partners, a private equity fund, as well as Andreessen Horowitz, Union Square Ventures and others. The influx of capital, Businessweek notes, will allow Foursquare time to grow as it tussles with low revenue (a source tells BW that the company only made $2 million last year) and works to launch a new ad program that will allow all of its merchants to serve mobile ads.
Foursquare's latest update to its iOS app brought search and recommendations to the forefront; sources also told Betabeat that the company has toyed with the idea of a recommendations app not equipped with check-ins, which speaks volumes about where the value of the app lies. A new mobile ad strategy, which would most likely serve ads to users based on their location, could help to greatly increase revenue at the company.
Taking on debt instead of raising a new round also helps Foursquare avoid a dreaded down round and what would undoubtedly be a fierce public debate about its valuation. The Series C in 2011 brought the company's total capital to $71 million at a valuation of $600 million, but the novelty of a check-in app seems to have worn off since then, and that coupled with thin yearly revenues could lead to a lower valuation.
One source told Betabeat that the company is "frustrated with lack of hype/momentum/growth," and that company culture has transitioned from "uplifting" to "oh shit."
Investors in this debt round are patient, allowing Mr. Crowley the time he needs to expand the business. But others, like Greylock's John Lilly, declined to participate–according to BW, he simply thinks Foursquare's $600 million valuation is too high.

Many jurisdictions around the world have deregulated utilities and opened retail markets to competition. However, inertial decisionmaking can diminish consumer benefits of retail competition. Using household-level data from the Texas residential electricity market, we document evidence of consumer inertia. We estimate an econometric model of retail choice to measure two sources of inertia: (1) search frictions/inattention, and (2) a brand advantage that consumers afford the incumbent. We find that households rarely search for alternative retailers, and when they do search, households attach a brand advantage to the incumbent. Counterfactual experiments show that low-cost information interventions can notably increase consumer surplus.

Delicious recipes for a healthy digestive system.
A healthy gut is essential for overall wellbeing. What you eat plays a huge role in the nourishment of your gut. Get your gut health on track with the following recipes.
Melt the cacao butter in a heatproof bowl, over a saucepan of boiling water, stirring constantly.
Stir in the cacao powder, vanilla powder, maca powder and rice malt syrup or raw honey (or the stevia) until combined. Set aside until thick enough to pipe.
Top with the coconut and place in the fridge for about 1 hour to harden. It will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 weeks.
This prebiotic bake is pimped up with a tangy garlic tahini drizzle. Roasting is a great way to cheer up any vegetable that may have been left in the fridge too long. The vegetables all cook at different speeds, so some are crunchier than others, which adds to the beauty of this dish.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large roasting pan with baking paper.
To prepare the artichokes, scrub them well, but don't peel them unless the skin seems too rough. Cut in half lengthways and immediately rub the cut surface with the cut surface of the lemon, to stop it browning.
Place all the vegetables, except the jicama and asparagus, in a single layer in the roasting pan. You don't want to crowd the vegetables, or they won't roast and crisp up, so use another lined roasting pan if necessary. Drizzle with the olive oil and rub to coat well.
Bake for 25 minutes, turning the vegetables once.
Add the jicama and asparagus and roast for a further 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is just cooked and all the vegetables are golden around the edges.
Meanwhile, to make the garlic tahini drizzle, mash the garlic and salt to a purée, using a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the tahini. Add the lemon juice and a little bit of the water, whisking continuously, adding a little more water each time until the sauce reaches the consistency of thick cream or runny yoghurt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the roasted vegetables with the garlic tahini drizzle.
Note: Tahini is a paste made from lightly toasted sesame seeds. It tends to separate on sitting, especially if kept in fridge. You can bring the tahini back together by leaving the jar upside down for 15 minutes, then giving it a quick stir with a clean spoon.
People will be wondering what has you so chirpy early in the day! Made with coffee, raw cacao, chia seeds and hazelnuts, with fruity hums of banana, this delectably thick, chocolatey smoothie bowl will give you a natural hit of dopamine — the 'happy' hormone. Think about all the good fats and complex carbohydrates found in banana and nuts, then times them by two, and you'll find yourself powering through your day like a Russian gymnast, performing effortless backflips, half turns and triple twists.
let them sit for a few minutes. Transfer to a high-speed blender.
Add the cacao powder, diatomaceous earth (if using), banana and hazelnuts. Pour in the coconut milk and almond milk and whiz until there are no lumps; the mixture can be quite thick. If your blender is struggling, add extra almond milk or water in small amounts to help it along.

After independence from Portugal in 1975, Mozambique suffered a 16 year civil war. The war ended in a peace deal in 1992 when a communist government took control. The HIV/AIDS pandemic then crippled the country, especially in rural areas where many people in the labour force died, leaving the elderly and vulnerable children to fend for themselves. Mozambique has transitioned from a post-conflict country to one of Africa's fastest growing economies. However, the rapid economic expansion over the past twenty years was very limited to the area around Maputo, the capital, due to its close proximity to South Africa.
Every year, entire communities in Mozambique face a season of hunger when their food supply runs out. 43% of children in Mozambique are stunted due to malnutrition. Limited progress has been achieved in improving water and sanitation and alleviating hunger and malnutrition. Malaria remains the most common cause of death in Mozambique, responsible for 35% of child mortality. Infant mortality is also high: 62 infants under the age of 1 will die for every 1000 born.
Women and girls are especially vulnerable in Mozambique. In the Beira corridor between land-locked Zimbabwe and the Mozambique coast, prostitution is rife, continuing the spread of HIV. Only 12% of women use contraception. 48% of women are married and have given birth by age 18. Only 32% of the poorest women in Mozambique have a skilled attendant during birth, compared to 90% of the richest women.
Education is a low priority for girls in Mozambique. 91% of school aged girls will start the first grade of primary school, but only a dismal 22% will continue on to start the first year of secondary school. Compared to men, only 54% of women are literate. However, education is also lacking for adolescent boys. Only 25% of male students attend early secondary school, and a mere 12% go on to be enrolled in upper secondary school.
The area of the Tete Corridor, going through Mozambique between Zimbabwe and Malawi, is known as the "Missionary Graveyard". Hands at Work has been able to expand our work in this corridor where the poorest and most vulnerable children live.
We envision the local church effectively caring for the dying, orphans and widows, and unified in this mission with the church outside Africa.
Miguel's mother, Alima*, cares for Miguel and his three siblings alone. There was barely any money for food, let alone school fees. Even the barren soil around her home seemed to be against her, preventing her from growing a garden and on many days, the family went hungry.
At 10 years old, Xiluva* has faced challenges that no child should ever have to face. When her father passed away in 2010, Xiluva was living with her mother and three siblings in Mudzidzi, Mozambique. When her mother remarried in early 2016, she took the children to the community of Macadeira and abandoned them with their ageing grandmother, Orpa*. Xiluva's world fell apart.
For the past four years, Chumai has suffered from epilepsy. His mother decided to return to her family because she could not deal with Chumai's illness or those of the rest of the family, including Chumai's father. A few months after leaving her children, Chumai's mother remarried. Tragically Chumai's father, Joaquim, died after falling from a platform used to dry maize cobs.


Increase Profits by learning new punting skills!
February 1, 2019 February 2, 2019 - 2 Comments.
The weather in the UK is having a major impact on the racing scene none more so than the National Hunt arena with meeting after meeting being lost to the elements. The prospects for the coming weekend are still finely balanced with Wetherby and Musselburgh's two-day meeting already lost but there was more positive news regarding Saturday's fixture at Sandown. The clerk of the course Andrew Cooper revealed on Friday that the track looks increasingly likely to race and currently Lingfield, Chelmsford and Kempton are all due to stage all-weather fixtures on Saturday, while Leopardstown also hosts the first afternoon of the Dublin Racing Festival.
At times like these we can either baton down the hatches or use the time more productively by learning a new punting skill, or possibly brushing up on a previously used one. The Betting Insiders Club continually strives to help its members with new angles/strategies and a great example of that is the brand new Weekly Members Report, Issue 169, which went live on Friday. In this edition there is a cracking piece from Gary "The Boz" Boswell who shares his unique take on the "Art of Paddock Watching" and as ever with Gary B it really does make for a thoroughly enjoyable read. The latest report also includes a trio of Ante-Post fancies, at big prices, for the Cheltenham Festival along with some interesting "Risk-Free" punting techniques from our resident Arbitrage Guru.
The Weekly Members Report forms an integral part of the comprehensive Insiders Club package so if your previous efforts have not delivered the level of returns that your punting exploits had aspired to then why not make a change for the better and check out how the Insiders Club can help 2019 be more profitable. You can find all about it here.
Hopefully Sandown will go ahead tomorrow and you can find out what our Big Race Guru fancies at the track by clicking here to read on.
Why when I click on either of the above links to the new Weekly Report does it take me to one of your adverts asking me to join Betting Insiders. I'm already a member! This also happens any time I try to click on On Course Profits and Gold, even though I pay a sub for Gold as well. Very annoying.
I'm not really sure what is happening. The links on the page that you have commented on go to the forum and the members area, via a log in page. There is a Join Us link and a sales video link but they are labelled as such.
With regards to On Course Profits if you go to https://oncourseprofits.com/gold and log in you will have access to all the magazines or you can scroll to the bottom of the sales page where there is a log in link.


Marina Röhr takes over the management of Röhr and europlac s.r.o.
Since October 2018, Marina Röhr is the sole Managing Director of Röhr Holding as well as Röhr GmbH. At the end of 2018, the registration as Managing Director of europlac s.r.o. in Slovakia took place, which she head now together with the present Managing Director Andrea Bangová. In the course of the changes in the management, the Sales Manager Oliver Heine will receive procuration in early 2019. The trained wood merchant has been working for europlac for more than 20 years and is an outstanding expert in the industry. All other positions remain filled with proven employees. "The market requires constantly innovative solutions in the field of noble wood panel materials. For this purpose, we have already built up a team of competent, high-performance and innovative specialists in recent years. Of course, all of us miss my husband – as a person and as a mentor. But we are optimally positioned so that we can cope with all strategic, conceptual and operational tasks today and in the future", stresses Marina Röhr.
COLORPLACis one of the latest, sustainable and innovative precious wood design products of europlac – a noble wood plate in Eccentric Birch – with a colored, finely varnished and also slightly transparent surface. In addition to the classic Birch Multiplex version as a carrier plate, all other carriersand formats available at europlac, such as chipboard, MDF or plywood panels, are also possible as FSC or PEFC certified. The COLORPLAC is inspired by the colors of the 4 elements, by natural tones and und the full range of spectral colors of light, enriched by the timeless elegance of gray and white tones. Hereby, diverse design and application possibilities open up - as diverse as the color palette itself. The surface, which is finely varnished on both sides, has extremely high resistance, is hygienic and easy to clean. Birch peeled veneer with the resource-saving structure of 0.6 mm thick formaldehyde-free glued cover layers is usually used as a precious wood surface. The core board is freely selectable depending on the application.
In the europlac MANUFACTURE, our specialists with the greatest expertise and many years of experience process also very special and extraordinary precious woods: end grain in oak and smoked oak. Joined, for example, in a wild pattern (see photo), a unique and fascinating precious wood material is created. This exceptional rustic look of cross sawn end grain veneers is used in decorative interior design, wall coverings, table tops and wherever you want to set very special accents. Optionally, these panels (all carriers available at europlac are possible) can be delivered also as fixed dimensions and already pre-filled, with a finished UV-coated or a natural hard wax oiled surface. The end grain can be pressed on a fleece as a variant "euroflex", so that a simple further processing directly at the carpenter is possible. Of course, it is certified in FSC and PEFC.

This new technology uses sweat that could power your gadgets one day
By Roland Udvarlaki July 16, 2021, 12:00 pm
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego are researching a new technology that allows a thin, flexible strip to harvest bioenergy from sweat, and turn that into electricity to power wearables. This electricity could, in theory, be then used to charge a wide variety of electronic gadgets, such as smartwatches as an example.
The scientists have explained (via PhoneArena) that previous bioenergy harvester technologies were based on bodily movements, which isn't very efficient as only 1 percent of the mechanical energy input can be used to charge electronic devices. Needless to say, that technology is still under development and research as it is currently impractical and inefficient.
The new "biofuel cell bioenergy harvesters" can do the following, at their current stages:
A novel bioenergy harvester that continuously scavenges energy from human passive sweat
Record high energy return on investment based on lactate biofuel cells
Biofuel cells harvesting ∼400 mJ/cm2 of energy during sleep without any activity
Harvesters can power an integrated sensing system with dedicated displays
The great thing about this new technology is that it can generate ∼400 mJ/cm2 of energy during sleep without any activity. This effectively means that any smartwatch and other wearable gadgets could be charged while simply wearing it. The charge at this time isn't enough to power today's technology devices, but there is a possibility that it could, in the future. In theory, the more you sweat, the more power can be generated to charge up a device.
The technology has a great potential for creating self-sustainable and independent electronics systems in the future, which would have a lot of use in a wide variety of fields such as tracking healthcare and wellness. It remains to be seen how this technology will improve over the years to be sufficient to charge devices that require a lot more power on a daily basis.
Eventually, these new sensors wouldn't be just placed on people's fingers, there is a potential to make it into gloves and other wearable products:
"We want to make this device more tightly integrated in wearable forms, like gloves… We're also exploring the possibility of enabling wireless connection to mobile devices for extended continuous sensing. There's a lot of exciting potential."
This is just a very brief, summarised version of the actual research. If you would like to find out more about it in much more detail, you can find it here.

Q: Pipes and graphics When developing a program (in C or Python, say), I often write debug messages to see whether my program behaves as intended. On Linux, such text messages can be handled in varied and flexible ways using tools like grep, sed, wc, etc.
However, once I want to display graphics instead of text messages, there is usually some pain involved. I'll have to link some graphics library to my program (after installing it, which can often be painful in itself) and figure out what boilerplate initialization is needed for the particular library.
I am wondering whether something like the following exists. Instead of linking a graphics library to our program, we would output our "graphical debug messages" to a pipe in a similar way to how we output our "text debug messages" to stdout. Then we redirect this pipe (stdout-graphics?) to some graphics viewer, which is run as a stand-alone program (similar to how we would run sed as a separate program, for example).
In my ideal world, I could do
gcc foo.c
./a.out 5>graphics_viewer

and see my "debug messages" (maybe some circles and points moving in 2D) generated by the program.
Some remarks:

*

*I don't know how much overhead we would incur from using pipes instead of direct calls to the graphics library. I also don't know how much of that overhead would be due to the coding of stdoutgraphics (i.e. can we use a text stream like "draw_rectangle(30,20,100,100); putpixel(3,7); flip();" or do we have to use a compressed format). Ideally we should be as universal as possible -- it would be good if using pipes was at most <10% slower than using the library natively.

*I don't know if there already are standard formats for "graphics instructions" in this context (say, covering all functionality of the SDL library). Of course there are many specialised languages for narrower domains, like PostScript and TikZ.

*Once we have stdoutgraphics, stdingraphics would also be handy.

A: I have done this. Not by outputing primitive graphics commands, but by outputing status messages. Then writing a displayer that understands these messages, and display the right thing.
You can ether go for a fully custom displayer, or invent a more general language, that allows re-use.
Also consider
Also consider using a unit-test framework. Unit-tests are the best way to test your code, especially when used with test-driven-design. (one of the first graphical output over stdout programs that I wrote was a test tool, and a test result visualiser.

F2 0F 5A /r CVTSD2SS xmm1, xmm2/m64 Convert one double-precision floating-point value in xmm2/m64 to one single-precision floating-point value in xmm1.
Converts a double-precision floating-point value in the source operand (second operand) to a single-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand). The source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the double-precision floating-point value is contained in the low quadword of the register. The result is stored in the low doubleword of the destination operand, and the upper 3 doublewords are left unchanged. When the conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register.
