Home Independent Cinema Happiness
Posted on : May 7, 2009 by : jjmurphy
The strand of American independent cinema known as "underground film" often used explicit or provocative sexual material to push censorship boundaries in the 1960s. Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures and Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising, for instance, became highly publicized censorship cases. Independent features, such as Shirley Clarke's The Connection, also provoked court battles for other reasons. This explains why "The First Statement of the New American Cinema Group," which was penned by Jonas Mekas, had made censorship in any form one of its major issues. In the case of Todd Solondz's Happiness (1998), the matter of contention was not government censorship, but self-censorship on the part of October Films and its parent companies, which refused to release the film due to its controversial subject matter.
Happiness tells the story of the three sisters who live in New Jersey, and their Florida-based parents who suddenly find themselves getting a divorce. The three Jordan sisters – Joy, Helen, and Trish – are remarkably different from each other, yet on a same trajectory for an unhappy fate. Joy (Jane Adams) is the family loser, the one with the lowest self-esteem, who struggles with her career and relationships. Both of her relationships end disastrously. Her break-up with an office-mate, Andy (Jon Lovitz), leads to his suicide, while a later fling with one of her ESL students, a Russian immigrant named Vlad, leads to embarrassment and humiliation.
Joy's sister Helen (Lara Flynn Boyle) is a best-selling writer whose commercial success only confirms her creative doubts. Despite the international set of physical hunks who orbit around her, she is sexually unsatisfied and winds up responding to an obscene phone call from her computer-geek neighbor, Allen (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Only the obnoxious and superficial Trish (Cynthia Stevenson), mindlessly ensconced in suburbia, believes she has it all. But her suburban illusions of the happy life have blinded her to the marital problems with her husband, Bill Maplewood (Dylan Baker), a mild-mannered psychiatrist with serial-killer fantasies and his own dark secrets. His attempts to counsel their son, Billy, with his awakened pubescent sexuality eventually leads Bill to molest two of his son's friends, destroying Trish's "model-perfect" life.
In many ways, Happiness seems to be a sequel to Solondz's previous film, Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995). It is easy to imagine the middle school kids of Dollhouse growing up into the kind of adult misfits we find here. Solondz uses their interlocking relationships and stories to paint an extended portrait of contemporary suburban life. The sanitized image of the suburbs as a refuge from urban problems gets turned upside down in Happiness. Solondz presents the suburbs as a nightmarish breeding ground for the worst tabloid excesses – child molestation, incest, murder, rape, exhibitionism, autoeroticism, sadomasochism, phone sex, drug abuse, suicide, divorce, and partner abuse.
The multiple plot structure of Happiness makes it a far more complex film than Welcome to the Dollhouse. Unlike Dollhouse, which has Dawn Wiener as its obvious central character, Happiness focuses on a host of characters, but nevertheless has the Jordan family at its center. There are the three Jordan sisters and their parents, Lenny (Ben Gazzara) and Mona (Louise Lasser), along with their families, friends, neighbors, and lovers.
Joy becomes involved in relationships with Andy and the petty criminal Vlad, who has a possessive girlfriend named Zhenia. Trish has a three-kid family, but the film only concentrates on her husband, Bill Maplewood, and their son, Billy. There is also Billy's Little League teammate, Johnny Grasso, and his father, Joe, as well as Billy's classmate Ronald Farber, who plays an off-screen role in Bill's eventual downfall. Allen, the obscene phone caller, is Helen's neighbor as well as Bill's patient. To further connect the many dots in the plot, Allen makes obscene phone calls to both Joy and Helen. Kristina (Camryn Manheim) is another neighbor of Helen's, but she only enters the film because of Allen. She, in turn, relates a murderous story involving an alleged rapist Pedro, the building doorman. And finally there's Lenny's friend, Diane, who threatens Mona by making a play for Lenny, but he turns out not to be interested.
The numerous plot threads of Happiness makes an analysis of the film's structure difficult, especially in terms of segmenting the acts. The script of Happiness consists of 116 pages, which translates into approximately 134 minutes of screen time. Even though there are over a dozen major characters and multiple, often intersecting plotlines, Bill Maplewood has to be considered the central character of Happiness because he has the most at stake.
The first turning point occurs when Bill Maplewood drugs Johnny Grasso during a sleep-over at 48 minutes. The second turning point happens when Johnny tells his mother about the blood in his stools. From this point on (82 minutes), it will only be a matter of time before Bill will be caught. The overall act-breakdown would be a first act of 48 minutes, a short middle act of 34 minutes, and a long third act that is 52 minutes. The first act takes longer than most films because so many different characters have to be introduced. The middle act is short because there are not the usual escalating obstacles blocking the characters' desires. Instead, the middle act simply develops the other character plots – Mona's attempt to buy a condo, Diane's play for Lenny, Allen's obscene phone call to Helen, Kristina's awkward attempt to befriend Allen, Joy's sexual encounter with Vlad, as well as Zhenia's assault of Joy. The final act is unusually long because so many plotlines have to be resolved.
Another way to segment the act-structure of Happiness would be to look at various plots and subplots in terms of their plot points. Bill Maplewood publicly masturbates at 19 minutes. Mona tells Trish Lenny wants a divorce at 25 minutes. Joy learns of Andy's suicide at 35 minutes. Bill drugs Johnny at 48 minutes. Allen makes an obscene phone call to Helen, who gets turned on by it, at 65 minutes. Joy sleeps with Vlad at 78 minutes and gets assaulted by Zhenia at 81 minutes. Johnny informs his mother about his physical problems at 82 minutes. Bill stalks Ronald Farber at 87 minutes. Lenny rejects Diane at 96 minutes. Kristina confesses her murder of Pedro at 106 minutes. Helen spurns Allen at 112 minutes. Joy pays Vlad five hundred dollatrs to retrieve her stolen possessions at 118 minutes. At 121 minutes, Joe Grasso calls Bill and tells him, "You're a dead man." Bill mistakenly mentions Ronald Farber to the police at 123 minutes. Trish and the kids split at 129 minutes.
A look at the plot points above suggests that there are enough significant events occurring at regular intervals to maintain audience interest over the course of a very long and complicated film. In an interview in Filmmaker, Solondz discusses the ensemble structure of Happiness in practical and intuitive terms: "I had a bunch of different story ideas, and I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted to make a movie about. I wasn't willing to do one over the other, so I figured out a way to combine them, hoping that they would cohere and play off each other."
Even the three Jordan sisters, Solondz maintains, became a plot contrivance "to thread the different storylines together." In the same interview Solondz insists the thematic links were of greater concern, and adds: "But I think the process of writing is a process of discovery." Rather than diffusing dramatic tension and character, the elaborately intricate structure of Happiness actually allows Solondz to present a broader spectrum of suburban life. Despite having to juggle so many different characters, the film's ultimate strength lies in its ability to create snapshot studies of this group of lonely suburbanites, who flounder about in manic searches for love and happiness.
Like Dollhouse's Dawn Wienerdog who believes that sex with an older heart throb will make her popular, Billy views ejaculation as crucial to social acceptance by his peers. In a manner reminiscent of Dawn Wiener's propensity to say or do something inappropriate, the film ends when Billy interrupts the family holiday dinner to share his excitement at his first orgasm. For this brief fleeting moment of happiness, Billy can overlook the sad events that have transpired around him and the future taunts that await him as a result of his father's stigma. That Billy can exult in the fact that his ability to ejaculate makes him normal like other kids, but sexuality, as we witness throughout Happiness, turns out to be the root core of adult problems. The adult misfits who populate Happiness aspire to be loved and happy, but their efforts only leave them feeling more rejected and miserable.
Although the various characters in Happiness are given nearly equal screen time, Bill Maplewood's story creates the dramatic glue that holds the other stories together for the simple reason that he has the most to lose. Lenny and Mona can divorce without any consequences. Helen's masochistic obsession with an obscene phone caller does not have any bearing on her literary career. Joy's affair with her Russian student, Vlad, will not get her fired or cause her to quit her ESL job, because teaching English to immigrants carries no emotional investment for her because she has no real direction to her life and is simply passing from job to job. On the contrary, Bill's actions have serious and dramatic ramifications. His sexual abuse of minor children will not only ruin his professional career and break up his family, but stigmatize them forever. And while there is no allusion to it in the film – other than the symbolic closeup shot of Billy gazing at Johhny through the metal fence at the Little League game – his sexual transgressions will no doubt cause him to be locked up for a very long time.
Bill Maplewood is a homosexual version of Mr. Kasdan, the neighbor obsessed with Missy in Welcome to the Dollhouse. But whereas Mr. Kasdan's kinkiness never got beyond the fantasy stage even after he kidnaps Missy, Bill Maplewood calculatingly follows through on his pedophilic fantasies by raping two of his son's classmates. A seemingly reasoned professional and suburban family man, Bill is not beyond drugging Johnny Grasso during a sleep-over or stalking Ronald Farber, the Home Alone kid whose fatal mistake is bragging about the size of his penis. A walking time bomb, Bill Maplewood wreaks havoc on those around him, including his own son, Billy.
The scene where Billy interrogates his father about molesting his two classmates near the film's end is one of the most disturbing scenes ever to appear in a movie. In an interview about the film in Indie magazine, Solondz provides his own spin on this painful-to-watch scene: "The boy becomes the psychologist and his father becomes the patient. The scene is crucial in any understanding of Bill the pedophile. He is not a monster, but he has a monster within him. He succumbs to his demon, and the only redemption for him is his honesty and openness with his son." While it is certainly true that Bill's honesty with his son is crucial, what seems even more remarkable is Bill's lack of repentance. His admission that he would do the same thing again is perhaps indicative of his sickness, but it nevertheless contradicts the ordinary meaning of what is meant by "redemption." And Bill's additional incestuous admission will no doubt have a troubling effect on Billy.
Solondz's characters go about their daily lives trying to balance enormous contradictions. In Happiness, sadomasochism has become the operative norm in relationships. The film's opening scene becomes emblematic of this dynamic when the teary-eyed Andy gives Joy a reproduction pewter ashtray, only to snatch it back. Allen, the next character we meet, ups the ante. In his therapy session with Bill, he details the most violent and sadistic sexual fantasies about Helen, only to comment: "Not that I could ever actually . . . do that . . . See, if she only knew how I felt, how deep down I really cared for her, respected her, she would love me back." When Joy visits Trish and tells her how terrible she feels because so much hostility is being directed toward her, Trish uses Joy's vulnerable state to deflate her self-esteem even more completely. Her sisterly advice is laced with devastating cruelty.
Yet Joy seems to invite such behavior. After Vlad robs her guitar and CD player, he also tells her he loves her. But we've just seen signs of his love in Zhenia's black eye and the bruises on her face. Low self-esteem and masochistic behavior seem to be a common thread linking the Jordan sisters together. In marrying a pedophile, Trish has set herself up for the most devastating punishment. Early in the film, Trish tells Bill her secret: "Like how come no matter how much you treat me like shit, I can't help loving you even more." She says this, presumably in an effort to arouse both herself and him sexually. And Helen, who laughs at Joy to her face, longs to be raped and abused.
Solondz breaks one of the cardinal rules of conventional dramatic screenwriting by not providing an external antagonist. There are no obstacles to be overcome as there are in most Hollywood films, which suggests that the film may have a gaping hole for a middle act. The characters do not battle outside obstacles or forces, but rather themselves. They are their own worst enemies; their various conflicts are fundamentally internal. Only Allen seems to go through any sort of psychological struggle over whether he should attempt to follow through on Helen's demand that he have sex with her. But deep down, Allen already knows he's hopelessly inadequate to the task.
Whereas the classical Hollywood paradigm depends on characters being able to make choices, Solondz replaces freedom of choice with a grim determinism. Happiness suggests that no matter what road these characters take, no matter what actions they choose, happiness ultimately will elude them. Their fates were long ago determined by their dysfunctional families, youthful peers, and the cultural forces that have shaped their contradictory, no-win desires.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Specs, Release Date Leaked
A flood of leaks suggest the next phablet from Samsung will arrive in early August with a new name and amped up specs.
Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge: An Up-Close Look
(Click image for larger view and slideshow.)
Samsung is preparing its next Note-branded phablet for a reveal later this summer, and the phone will be different from its predecessors in more ways than one.
The first departure will be the name itself. Samsung is going to skip a generation in order to catch the Note series up to its popular S series smartphones.
Last year's phablet was the Galaxy Note 5. In March, Samsung shipped the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones.
Were Samsung to follow the path it has always followed, this year's phablet would be the Note 6. It appears the naming convention has left some consumers confused as to the order of things, so the Note series will skip a number.
Over the weekend, serial leaker Evan Blass found an image of the device's logo that clearly reveals the name "Galaxy Note 7." Later, Blass posted another logo image for the "Galaxy Note 7 Edge." The leaks, if reliable, come close to confirming two things:
Samsung will indeed skip the "Note 6" name, and
Samsung will indeed release two versions of the phone, one with a standard screen, and one with a curved-edge screen.
(Image: Leaked image of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 via @OnLeaks on U Switch)
What will the Note 7 offer? Plenty. The biggest differentiating feature will be the addition of an iris scanner. As we've seen on other handsets, iris scanners are primarily used to biometric security measures. The scanner may serve as a backup method to verifying the owner's identity.
The defining feature of the Note series is, of course, the display. The Note 7 will feature a 5.7-inch quad HD AMOLED display. That's the same size and resolution of last year's Note, a display that was hailed as the best ever.
The Note 7 will adopt several of the Galaxy S7's best functions. To start, it will have a 12-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera. This is the same setup on the S7/S7 Edge, which both capture excellent photos.
Perhaps more important, the Note 7 will receive an IP68 certification, making it waterproof. The IP68 rating means the phone can sit in several feet of water for up to 30 minutes with no fear of damage. That's a big deal for all those klutzes out there.
[See Samsung Developer Conference: IoT Innovation on Display.]
The phone's internals will likely mirror those of the Galaxy S7, which means a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, a generous allotment of internal storage, and support for expandable memory cards.
One of the biggest question marks concerns the battery. Samsung improved the size of the S7's battery significantly this year (from 2,600 mAh to 3,000 mAh). The Note 5 had a 3,000 mAh battery, leading many to hope the Note 7 would jump up to 3,400 mAh or more.
Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note 7 at an event on August 2, according to a leaked invitation to a Galaxy Unpacked event. The company has not confirmed any of these details.

The RUSELPROM concern delivered electric equipment for a hydro power station in Italy
The RUSELPROM concern has completed the production and shipment of a hydro generator with a capacity of 5,400 kVA for the construction of the Megolo hydro power station in northern Italy. Assembling of the new equipment will soon start in Italy.
The contract, signed in March 2009, provides for the development, production and delivery of two generators with a capacity of 5,400 kVA each.
The RUSELPROM concern's partner in the project and the general contractor is the ANDINO Hydropower Engineering, a European company famous for the development of several energy projects in Italy, Austria, Norway and Serbia.
Despite the complexity of the product, the hydro generator was designed and produced in record time – all works, where RUSELPROM-Engineering participated, covered less than a year. A delegation from the contractor has visited RUSELPROM concern's companies in St Petersburg to check the quality and the takeover of the equipment produced. An intermediate handing over of ready hydro generator's units took place and they received a high assessment from the European partners.
"Developing new markets for energy equipment is the concern's priority task in the post-crisis period," said Sergei Ponomaryov, head of the project. "Timely and conforming delivery of the order for Europe, where most attention is traditionally paid to the quality of the delivered goods, is a fine confirmation of our equipment's competitiveness on international markets," he added.
Located in Piedmont, the Megolo hydro station with a designed capacity of 10,800 kVa is an energy development of a regional scale. The launch of the station is set for June 2010.
RUSELPROM concern's participation in the Megolo project was possible thanks to its specialists and engineers' sound reputation among European customers, who have already many times turned to the Russian electrical equipment producer.

Архелай () — був верховним жерцем міста Комана в Каппадокії. Керував Єгиптом у 56 році до н. е.

Історія сім'ї
Архелай був Каппадокійським грецьким дворянином, можливо, македонського походження. Він був першим сином і тезкою понтійського високопоставленого генерала Архелая, який брав участь у Мітрідатових війнах, а його брат Діоген був Понтійським солдатом, який служив в армії царя Мітрідата VI Понтійського. Його дядько Неоптолемес був видатним понтійським генералом. Мати царя не відома. Архелай був нащадком короля Мітрідата VI Понтійського. Відповідно до повідомлень Страбона Архелай був сином Мітрідата VI Понтійського, проте це маловірогідно. Хронологічно, Архелай міг бути онуком по материнській лінії понтійського царя; його батько, улюблений генерал Мітрідата VI, міг бути одружений з однією з дочок Мітрідата VI. Існує можливість того, що мати Архелая могла бути понтійською принцесою, однією з дочок, народженою від наложниці Мітрідата VI.

Правління
63 року до н. е. римський тріумвір, генерал Помпей, призначив Архелая верховним жерцем Комани в Каппадокії. Коли Помпей звів його у сан жерця римської богині війни — Беллони. Сан жерця богині у Команах давав владу Архелаю.

Архелай керував храмом, при якому було близько 6000 рабів, проте він не мав права їх продавати. Жрець збирав значні доходи з прилеглої території. Коли Архелай вже був жерцем, він одружився з невідомою грецькою жінкою, відомо, що вона померла 56 року до н. е. Вони мали двох дітей: одного сина назвали Архелай, ім'я дочки невідоме.

56 року до н. е. проконсул Сирії Авл Габіній готувався до парфянської війни, й Архелай вирушив до Сирії, щоб запропонувати свою допомогу Габінію. Коли Архелай готувався до подорожі, Єгипетська цариця Береніка IV з династії Птолемеїв вирішила вийти заміж за принца царської крові.

Друге одруження
Влітку 56 року до н. е. Архелай приїхав до Александрії, щоб запропонувати шлюб Береніці IV, стверджуючи, що він син Мітрідата VI. Архелай подарував Береніці особисті дарунки та засвідчив свої військові можливості, щоб стати до шлюбу з нею. Пізніше Архелай і Береніка одружились. То був другий шлюб для обох. Можливо, Береніка зробила Архелая регентом і могла дати йому титул «фараона». Існує папірус, який може бути датований періодом співправління Архелая й Береніки IV.

Війна і смерть
Римський сенат не дозволив Архелаю брати участь у Парфянській війні. Архелай залишив Габінія таємно або дав йому хабаря, щоб він допоміг Архелаю одружитись з Беренікою IV. У той же час Габіній отримував хабара від батька Береніки IV — Птолемея XII, щоб допомогти йому зайняти єгипетський трон.

Архелай пробув чоловіком Береніки IV тільки шість місяців, Габіній дотримався обіцянки, даної Птолемею XII. У січні-лютому 55 року до н. е. Птолемей XII пішов на Єгипет з армією, щоб забрати його трон. У битві Архелай загинув. Береніка IV та її дочка від першого шлюбу були страчені. Римський тріумвір Марк Антоній, який був другом сім'ї Архелая, знайшов його тіло та поховав його як царя.

Його син став його наступником як верховний жрець і правитель у Комнах.

Case Study: The Caversham Golf Club
In 2021 The Caversham Golf Club in Reading chose Dementia Adventure as their Captain's charity of the year, successfully raising £10,000.
The partnership with The Caversham Golf Club was about more than just money. We wanted to leave a legacy of support for people living with dementia in the Reading area.
In partnership with the golf club, Reading Voluntary Action and local Social Prescriber Helen Murphy we designed a package of training, support and consultancy for local social prescribers and organisations wanting to run dementia inclusive health and wellbeing walks, including on the site of the golf club itself. These organisations included:
British Islamic Gardens
Compass Recovery College
Green Health Thames valley
Museum of English Rural Life
Nature Nurture CIC
The Weller Centre
Gary Stangoe, the Golf Club Manager, explained that when they usually raise money, once that is done, they have a presentation evening and that is the end of the relationship:
"This experience has been completely different. I've been managing clubs there 24 years and I've never seen this type of relationship with a charity, making such a difference locally and within the club.
"For us, it's probably the most successful partnership that we've had.
"It has opened my eyes to understanding what living with dementia is about and how we can make a difference."
The Training
We based the training on two of our core specialisms – Sensory Walks & Outdoor Experiences and Managing Risk.
The training explored topics such as,
Understanding how dementia can affect the senses and the outdoor experience.
How to facilitate sensory rich experiences.
Understanding the health and wellbeing benefits of nature and the outdoors and why it's good to have contact with local natural environments.
How to engage and enable people with small, simple steps.
Discovering what matters most to people so you can co-produce activities.
Understanding what makes a dementia inclusive location, including a checklist of things to consider and put in place.
Understanding why calculated risk is important and how to undertake policy and process to put your ideas into practice safely.
For Gary, a highlight of the training was hearing about the impact connection to nature has on people living with dementia. We told a story about one of our supported holidaymakers, who was non-verbal. The gentleman spent a few moments sitting by a pond and it stirred memories of fishing with his son. He was able to communicate in full sentences about those experiences.
"The story about the holiday maker on Isle of Wight that sat by a fish pond which brought back memories of him fishing with his son. Yeah, huge… massive. You know that was it. That was me sold… done!
This project has certainly changed my understanding of dementia 100%, you know, it is brilliant!"
The training has had a significant impact on the provision of access to nature and outdoor activity locally,
Gary explains,
"If we have the facilities to assist in a little way, we've done a good thing!
"Going forward, we commit the club to making a difference. We've already offered our facilities in partnership with Helen and the Social Prescribing Team. And if it hadn't been for Dementia Adventure, that wouldn't happen!"
There are now health and wellbeing walks taking place on the private land at the golf club. The club has also offered 1 hour a week for the groups to use for tee times and offered equipment at Fairways for activities. The Caversham is actively encouraging their members to lead or support these activities.
They are also considering building transportation opportunities in the future if needed.
"We just want people to come along, even if it is just to hit a few balls and get that stimulus of doing what they love here. We want this 100%!"
Gary has found his increased awareness of what life is like with dementia has enabled him to make small, simple changes in his day-to-day work.
"We now understand how the team here at The Caversham can be better at enhancing the experience for members who are living with dementia. You realise that there are all sorts of changes that you've made because of your increased awareness. Sometimes this can be just a slight shift or change in perspective, but is incredibly significant!
"(For example) when somebody living with dementia walks into the club that we haven't seen for a few months, you can see the interaction between them and the other members change. So now I look out for those interactions and try to help."
Gary uses what he has learnt from Dementia Adventure to help other club members understand the potential challenges a member with dementia might face. He educates them on how to be supportive of needs. He shares strategies with the members to help them interact more successfully, and see that with a little support and encouragement, they can continue to play golf at the club.
"We have a member with dementia who has less spatial awareness, which can be a health and safety issue. I try to explain to the other members how dementia may be affecting his actions and how to support him sensitively.
"I help them to recognise the enjoyment for him in that moment and encourage the others to share in that.
"Had I not been involved with you guys and had not done the training, I probably wouldn't have been making these steps."
"Through Dementia Adventure and the local teams, our club can make a real difference to people's lives in our local community."

The New Dawn of Data Analytics – Insight, Agility, and Strategic Directions
The need for efficient decision-making and business processes has been increasing exponentially, especially in the recent past. This is a consequence of technological breakthroughs in analytics and their success with early adopters who gain a competitive advantage. The major players in an ecosystem understand this phenomenon and progressively adopt those technologies, pushing everybody else in the ecosystem to transform or to be left behind.
It becomes imperative for organizations now to adopt a data analytics practice, closely integrate it with business processes, improve it based on innovations, and more importantly, continually adjust the models by evaluating their relevance and questioning the applicability of assumptions made to build them.
Because organizations increasingly operate in an ecosystem to which data is fundamental — both internally and externally — it is critical to leverage internal organizational data and integrate it with valuable external data sources to understand consumer needs & behavioral patterns, discover trends in the business ecosystem, scientifically generate predictions, and leverage these insights to empower a more impactful decision making.
90% of corporate strategies will formally recognize the significance of information assets and analytics as an essential competency by 2022, according to Gartner.
Redefining Digital Transformation Journey During Unprecedented Times
The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has severely hampered the ability of organizations to glean meaningful insights and extrapolate past trends. Since machine learning-based analytics models were built with data and assumptions suitable in the pre-pandemic world, these models fail to respond precisely to the highly abnormal patterns in the data generated during the pandemic. For example, consumer discretionary spending and oil prices have crashed as the pandemic unfolded.
Even when the pandemic is over, and the world settles in the new normal, the re-engineered or pre-pandemic models can become obsolete as the pandemic will leave behind long-lasting fundamental changes. This again requires readjusting or creating new analytical models to glean scenario-relevant business insights and predictions. For instance, Human Resource (HR) capabilities, such as integrated HR systems, easy and quick access to real-time workforce data, and self-service option, are now fundamental requirements for every organization. Businesses must transform HR functions by leveraging the data to derive insights across HR functions such as workforce planning, recruitment, employee engagement, and performance management. Similarly, other business functions, including Inventory, Supply Chain, and Logistic Management, are also undergoing drastic changes. They would need to employ data analytics for better real-time asset monitoring, inventory analysis, and predictive maintenance to navigate this paradigm shift, curb operational inefficiencies and reduce overall operating costs. Therefore, the organizations that have already established a robust data analytics practice and dynamic analytical models can stay ahead and will enjoy the greatest competitive advantage while others in the ecosystem scramble to generate revenue.
How Should Organizations Navigate with Data Analytics?
It can be overwhelming for organizations in the initial stages of implementing a data analytics practice. The key is to focus on solving specific problems instead of vaguely defining how to leverage data analytics. For example, setting a goal like "find patterns in the data available to us" may not yield promising results.
On the other hand, a goal like "optimize operational costs" would provide a clearer path towards approaching data analytics and finding improvement opportunities that provide the most leverage. It is also important to note that analytics may not help gain a significant advantage quickly. It requires consistently improving more elemental objects in a process. Consequently, the smaller improvements provide compounding benefits over time.
Senior executives should also recognize that the best approach to analytics-driven optimization or decision-making should be a continuous, cyclical process that helps implement, analyze, learn, and improve analytical techniques and models. This includes testing hypotheses and assumptions to improve the efficacy of modals in various scenarios. In some scenarios, internal data sets may not be sufficient to derive insights for decision-making and should consider integrating valuable external data sources. Organizations can only build such a capability over a period of time due to the complexity of data products available in the market and the difficulty in assessing data quality.
Consumer product sales data, for example, may not accurately reflect the spending pattern during the pandemic lockdowns. If the brands were making hygiene products such as sanitizers or disinfectants, the data would reflect heavy consumer spending. But other non-essential products wouldn't show similar patterns. Hence, biased data is a factor in play here that should smoothen out through effective assumptions, which play a vital role in enhancing accuracy or pinpointing the root cause better to help with better decision-making.
Of course, this is a simplified example, but only relying on internal datasets may not provide more valuable insights. An organization can gauge more accurate trends by acquiring or integrating broader ecosystem data like transactional data from retail and digital outlets. This helps to minimize or halt the production of products in less demand and leverage existing capabilities to introduce new products relevant to the short-term demand. Once the pandemic subsides, the organization could assess the conditions using analytics to rethink its strategy.
Above all, it is quintessential to integrate insights into decision-making and embed them into business processes to drive efficiency and innovation. Executive buy-in is another crucial factor; more importantly, having an ROI-based approach will help quantify the benefits derived from these analytical models and any revisions that might be necessary. In the end, building comprehensive analytical models would offer no advantage if the insights produced are not leveraged to achieve better outcomes. Therefore, without executive buy-in, organizations fail to drive profitable results from their analytics practice even if they build strong teams and analytical processes.
Data Analytics Applications: Generating Business Value
A German automotive pioneer was facing several challenges in its manufacturing process. It faced a couple of significant challenges, including scattered data across multiple systems and variation in the cost of manufacturing the same products across production units in various geo-locations. The manufacturer collaborated with MIND to implement an analytics-driven approach to centralize data management, address any inefficiencies across sub-processes, and drive down procurement costs with better forecasts.
Firstly, the manufacturer focused on centralizing data and collecting additional data points where required. This helped to monitor various systems and processes more transparently and gain precise insights for optimization. It also helped forecast raw material requirements more accurately, giving a substantial advantage in negotiating contracts and selecting reliable, high-quality suppliers. All of this helped the manufacturer cut down raw material costs by USD 6 million annually. But the broader advantage was that the manufacturing company defined more business problems and implemented analytical solutions to solve them, gaining a substantial competitive advantage.
Implementing an analytics practice can be an arduous task and is prone to deliver insignificant results. Organizations can start by defining smaller goals and test the effectiveness of analytical techniques with a small team of exceptional individuals who have experience in implementing analytical solutions. Alternatively, organizations can collaborate with reputed partners like MIND, who have proven experience across industries and expertise to help organizations strategically improve their business operations

When my friend Natania suggested we take a walking tour of Old Salem, my first thought was: Hmmm. Should I pretend I know what and where Old Salem is? Or should I fake it?
As I usually do, I decided to fake it. I accepted the invitation and immediately went online to read up on Winston-Salem's Old Salem Historic District, a perfectly preserved 18th-century village founded by members of the Moravian Church. The Moravians had already established several communities in Pennsylvania – Bethlehem, Nazareth, Lititz – and looked southward for their next settlement.
Construction of what was to be called Salem began in 1766, when the United States was still very much under British rule. Indeed, the American colonies were in an uproar that year over taxation without representation. The Stamp Act, passed by British Parliament in late 1765 as a tax to fund Britain's army in the colonies, was finally repealed in March 1766 – but on the very same day, Parliament passed the Declaratory Acts, reasserting Britain's authority over all colonial legislation.
As protests raged and tensions between the colonies and Britain escalated, Salem rose. Originally, everyone who lived in the community had to be members of the Moravian Church, which owned all of the town's property. Residents could be expelled from Salem if they were found to have violated the faith's codes.
Our walking tour covered nearly two miles. The main street through the historic district runs slightly uphill as you leave the visitors center. The village is frozen in an era before wheelchair accessibility was a concern – with some of the sidewalks bulging from ancient tree roots – but wheelchair users can ask for a tour route designed for wheelchair access.
Old Salem offers a fascinating glimpse of our state's past and a walking tour is a great excuse to pile up some steps. So get outside, North Carolina!
We started our tour at the visitors center, which includes some informative displays about the history of Old Salem. At the end of our trip, we were glad we purchased the all-inclusive passes, rather than the passes that allow you to choose only two buildings to visit. And don't let those gray clouds worry you – they burned off shortly after we arrived and we enjoyed a day of glorious North Carolina sunshine.
At the visitors center, you can see some photos from the late 1800s that provide a vivid portrayal of just how tough life was back then – and proof of how well preserved Old Salem is today.
Heritage Bridge connects the visitors center to the historic district.
Built in 1999, the Heritage Bridge connects the visitors center to the historic district. The bridge was designed to mimic historic bridges of the 1800s. I was fascinated by the engineering of it, with its massive arching supports that looked like the leaf springs you'd see on a truck – except made of wood.
Timothy Vogler Gun Shop built before 1831.
Our first stop in the village was the Timothy Vogler Gun Shop, built before 1831. The guide told us that nearly all of the structures in the historic district rest in their original places. This building was used as a gun shop – where Vogler did the metal work, woodworking and tooling – until the 1890s.
The Vogler House – like most of the buildings we toured in Old Salem – includes an impressive masonry heater/stove. They're essentially large radiators, ingeniously designed. Metal heats faster than masonry, but the ceramic tiles of a masonry heater take much longer to cool, so a masonry heater will provide heat for a longer period of time at a much lower temperature than a metal stove. Similar technology is still being used today, although the ceramic tiles are now replaced with heat-resistant plaster.
The Single Brothers' House – built in 1769 – was where unmarried Moravian men lived, worshipped and ate their meals. A short walk away was the Single Sisters' House.
The dining area of the Single Brothers' House was beautifully spartan. With the pale lighting, you could even mistake this photo for an 18th– century painting.
Behind the Single Brothers' House is the Single Brothers' Workshop.
Behind the Single Brothers' House is the Single Brothers' Workshop, where the house's residents practiced trades like tailoring and pottery. It's one of the few buildings in Old Salem that has been reconstructed; the original structure was demolished in 1921 to make way for an apartment building, with this new version built in 1979.
This may be the coolest door knob I've ever seen, but it doesn't look very inviting.
Appropriately, we ended our walking tour at the Moravian graveyard called "God's Acre." I think this was my favorite spot on our tour. It seems like a pretty peaceful place to spend eternity.

This article describes how the CTP application can be configured to distribute patient studies to referring physicians and researchers. The intended audience for this article is system administrators. There are several articles on CTP on the RSNA MIRC wiki. All would be useful references when reading this article.
Many hospitals distribute digital examinations to referring physicians by producing DICOM CDs. The cost and time to produce and distribute these CDs, along with the lack of standardization of the software viewers for them, has limited their acceptance by referring physicians.
Studies are received from modalities or PACS via the DICOM protocol.
Studies are stored, organized by patient ID.
A user account is automatically created, if necessary, for the patient when a study is received.
Patients can view their studies at a web browser.
Patients can download and/or delete their studies.
Patients can make their images available to their physicians, either by providing their credentials to their physicians or by granting their physicians guest access to their studies.
Administrators can grant physicians guest access to a patient's studies on behalf of the patient.
The system can automatically remove studies older than a specified age.
The configuration of a CTP instance is specified by an XML file called config.xml located in the same directory as the program. See the main wiki article for details on how CTP processes data objects and all the standard pipeline stages that are available. This section describes only those standard stages which are necessary to implement this application, and only those attributes which are required to provide the necessary features.
The configuration file places the CTP admin web server on port 1080. This web server is used by administrators to monitor the status of the system. The choice of 1080 rather than the standard port 80 is made to preserve port 80 for the FileStorageService's web server.
The configuration file puts the DicomImportService on the standard well-known DICOM port, 104. The DicomImportService accepts all Application Entity Titles, so when configuring the transmitting systems (modalities or PACS), any AE Title can be used.
The root attribute can point to any location where the FileStorageService can build its directory structure. It is shown in the configuration above as a relative path from the CTP directory (the directory in which the CTP application runs) to the storage directory. An absolute path may be specified instead, and that path can be on a shared drive on another computer if so desired.
The fsNameTag attribute is critical to the operation of this application. It is specified to point to the DICOM PatientID element. This causes the FileStorageService to create a separate tree of directories for each patient and to store all the patient's studies in that tree. Since access is restricted by such trees, this ensures that each patient can only see his own studies. For more information on the organization of directories, see the notes in FileStorageService.
The timeDepth attribute is included with its value set to 90. Studies older than 90 days will then automatically be deleted. If permanent storage is desired, the attribute should be set to zero.
The FileStorageService web server is enabled in this configuration by specifying a port attribute. The value, 80, assumes that this will be the most convenient port for users.
The requireAuthentication attribute is required to ensure that only authorized users can view studies. More information on access to studies is contained in The CTP FileStorageService Access Mechanism.
The autoCreateUser attribute is included so that the system will create user accounts for users as their studies are received. This is only an administrative convenience. Administrators can use the User Manager servlet on the main admin web server to create and manage accounts at any time.
The simplest way to use this application in practice is to install it on a computer in the institution's DMZ and open port 80 for access from the internet. This will allow modalities or the PACS to transmit studies from the protected network to CTP. It will also allow patients and their guests to access the studies while still protecting the secure network from the internet.
Two approaches can be taken for getting studies to CTP. One sends the studies automatically; the other requires manual selection and transmission.
The automatic case can be implemented by having the modalities automatically send studies to the DicomImportService when they transmit them to the PACS. Equivalently, it may be possible to configure a PACS to forward studies when they are received. If neither of those approaches is convenient, the RSNA MIRC project has a tool, DicomRouter, which receives studies and forwards them to multiple destinations.
The manual case requires someone to select the study at a PACS workstation and send it to the DicomImportService.
Once the studies are in the FileStorageService, they are automatically available for access.
Three approaches can be taken for providing referring physicians access to their patients' studies.
The simplest approach is to require the patient to give the referring physician his credentials (PatientID and password) on the FileStorageService's web server. In this case, when the physician logs in, the system thinks he is the patient, and he will have all the privileges of the patient, including the ability to delete cases.
A more complex approach is to create accounts for all referring physicians and require the patient to access the web server, click the Manage Guest List button, and add the referring physician to the guest list. In this case, when the physician logs in, the system knows who he is and provides access to all patients on whose guest list he appears. The guest privilege provides access to the studies for viewing but not for deletion.
In the case where a patient cannot access the web server, an administrative user with the proxy privilege can log in as himself, and add a referring physician to a patient's guest list on behalf of the patient.
All three approaches can be used concurrently since they are all equivalent as far as the system is concerned. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The first is simplest to operate and administer since it requires no manual intervention by hospital staff, but it grants referring physicians more control than some patients might want. The other approaches are more secure in that regard, but they require work by hospital staff.
Two security issues merit special consideration. Both are addressed in the following enhanced configuration file. Comments on those components which differ from those in the previous configuration appear afterward.
This configuration version enables Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on the admin web server and also requires that a user be authenticated when accessing the admin web server. Neither of these provides much additional security, but they at least ensure that only users known to the system can access it, and they ensure that encryption keys, which can be part of an anonymizer script, are not transmitted in the clear when edited by an anonymizer configurator servlet.
This stage is included in the pipeline to allow unnecessary PHI to be removed before storage. The idea is simply to minimize the PHI surface area of the objects as much as possible without compromising their utility. A simple example of what might be done is to replace the patient's name with his initials (using the @initials function). This would help to conceal the patient's identity but still give the user viewing the study some confidence that the object belongs to the subject patient.
It is critically important, however, that the PatientID element (0010,0020) not be modified because the FileStorageService uses it to separate the studies by patient.
The DicomAnonymizer provides many functions. See The CTP DICOM Anonymizer for the excruciating details.
This configuration version enables SSL on the FileStorageService web server. Unlike the case of the admin web server, enabling SSL significantly improves security since the objects accessed on this web server do contain at least some PHI.
It authenticates the server to the client, assuring the client that the server is the one that it accessed.
It facilitates the negotiation of an encryption key for encrypting the data.
CTP uses SSL in the web servers for admin and storage access and in the HttpImportService and HttpExportService.
In the HttpImportService and HttpExportService, the authentication aspect of the certificate is ignored since all that matters is the encryption. To simplify the setup of such transfers, CTP includes a certificate in a file called keystore.
In the case of the web servers, the client is always a web browser, and modern web browsers are very strict in their use of certificates, always requiring that they are valid (e.g., unexpired) and digitally signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) known to and trusted by the browser. It is not possible to provide a certificate for this purpose since each certificate applies to a specific application at a specific site. Thus, to use SSL for either of the CTP web servers requires obtaining a certificate from a commercial CA (and paying money for it). With the certificate in hand, it is necessary then to install it in the keystore. See Enabling SSL in the CTP Server for details.
A similar application can occur in research, where studies may be acquired at modalities for individual researchers. The following configuration is very close to the first one presented in this article, but it has subtle and very important differences which are discussed afterward.
This configuration stores the called AE Title and the calling AE Title from the DICOM association in two elements, (0009,7770) and (0009,7772). These are then available for the FileStorageService as described below.
In this configuration, the fsNameTag attribute points to the element in which the called AE Title was stored by the DicomImportService. This causes the FileStorageService to create a separate tree of directories for each called AE Title and to store all the studies received for that AE Title in its tree.
The autoCreateUser attribute is set to yes. In this case, user accounts will automatically be created for each called AE Title as it is received. In operation, studies for a specific researcher (or clinical trial) would be sent to its AE Title, and researchers would be able to access the studies under that user account.
To make this approach work, modalities or PACS must be configured with destinations for each AE Title which is to be used to store objects.
A servlet allowing a user to change his password and to specify an email address.
An automatic email notification to a user when a study is stored to which the user is granted access.

El Toralín és un estadi de futbol de la ciutat de Ponferrada, a la província de Lleó. És propietat de l'Ajuntament de la ciutat i és on hi disputa els seus partits com a local la Sociedad Deportiva Ponferradina. Té capacitat per a 8.800 espectadors.

Història
Es va construir en substitució de l'antic camp de la Ponferradina, el Fuentesnuevas, que havia substituït al primer camp del club, el de «Santa Marta». Es va inaugurar el 5 de setembre del 2000 amb un partit contra el Celta de Vigo que van perdre els locals per 0-2. L'estadi es va remodelar el 2006 pel possible ascens de l'equip a Segona Divisió, quan es van ampliar totes les graderies i es van reformar la llotja i les cabines de premsa. Actualment reuneix les característiques que imposa la UEFA per a disputar partits en competicions internacionals.

We'd seen so many bears a few days ago at the unnamed cove near Windy Bay, we decided to go back and anchor overnight. The location is ideal, too, since I need to drop Dad and Ben off in Tofino tomorrow morning so they can catch a 5:55 pm ferry from Sidney to Anacortes.
But first, we went to Meares Island to walk the Big Tree Trail, a 3km loop that passes many massive, ancient cedars. We got slightly lost a few times, but eventually found the way. Flip flops weren't the ideal footwear, but I nevertheless enjoyed the walk. The boardwalk is in poor condition, and seemed a bit dangerous in places (missing planks, rotted posts), but we survived.
After the walk, we headed to "Bear Cove." Upon arrival we spotted a mom and cub, but they ducked into the woods pretty quickly. And then, no more bears. The tide was relatively high for most of our stay, and bears seem to prefer low tide when they can more effectively forage for food in the intertidal zone.
Late in the evening, just before sunset, we set out in the kayaks to try one last time to find some bears. No dice. Even though the tide had dropped significantly, they were nowhere to be found. Oh well, the anchorage is pleasant and we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon and evening at anchor. No rain since June 28th…a far cry from rainy Alaska last summer!


This paper deals with products of moderate-size primes, familiarly known as smooth numbers. Smooth numbers play an crucial role in information theory, signal processing and cryptography.
We present various properties of smooth numbers relating to their enumeration, distribution and occurrence in various integer sequences. We then turn our attention to cryptographic applications in which smooth numbers play a pivotal role.
