Date accessed: 1 February, 2023
In the 1990s medieval historians were very preoccupied with border studies. No sooner had the dust settled on the collapse of the Berlin Wall than medievalists were taking advantage of no frills air travel to jet off and discuss borders, frontiers and marches. English interest in the history of Normandy predates the era of mass travel, however, for the events of 1066 gave us an almost proprietorial interest in the emergence of the territorial principality on the other side of the English Channel that had provided the Norman kings and the Anglo-Norman aristocracy. The publication therefore of this important new work by Pierre Bauduin, Maître de Conferences at the Université de Caen, is to be warmly welcomed.
The early history of Normandy is a complex and well debated topic that has focussed on the survival of the Frankish institutions in the area of northern France settled by the Vikings or Northmen, and on the assimilation of those Normans into Frankish society. Dominating the debate have been the two great Norman historians of the second half of the twentieth century, Michel de Boüard and Lucien Musset. Boüard saw the arrival of the Normans as a profound 'discontinuity' and, using the evidence of political institutions, he stated his case in, among other places, the pages of the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research . Boüard restated the traditional interpretation of Norman history, whereas the view that the old Frankish estates had survived the disruption of the Norman settlement was advanced from 1945 by Musset, based on his detailed archival research. It is this latter view of continuity that was taken up in 1982 in the first British study devoted exclusively to the early history of Normandy by David Bates.(1)
The study of the Norman border, where the emerging Norman polity came into contact with its neighbours, clearly has much to contribute to this debate. At the very end of the Second World War, Jean-François Lemarignier published an investigation of feudal homage ceremonies that took place on borders, and Lucien Musset himself has since discussed the frontier. The stimulus for Pierre Bauduin was, however, a series of local studies which looked in detail at border zones. In the late 1980s Judith Green published a study of the Vexin, but it was the work of Gérard Louise that inspired Pierre Bauduin. Louise spent more than twenty years studying the lordship of Bellême, where Normandy borders the county of Maine, and concluded that it was a 'fenêtre ouverte' for the king of France. Bauduin's ideas were also stimulated by a late intervention in the continuity debate by Eleanor Searle, who stressed the Scandinavian links of the Norman ducal family. Furthermore, in France an anthropological perspective has been used to great effect by Régine Le Jan.(2)
Pierre Bauduin has also taken account of much recent work on the text as construct. In this debate the important text is De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae Ducum , the work of Dudo, a canon of Saint-Quentin in Picardy, who was commissioned at the beginning of the eleventh century by Duke Richard II (996–1026) to write a history of Normandy. There is no better description for what has happened to Dudo's work than the neologism that it has been comprehensively 'rubbished'. The most damning critique was that of Henri Prentout in the early twentieth century, but, as scholars have come to understand the cultural and literary context in which he operated, Dudo has to some extent been recalled from the depths of historical disapproval.(3)
In brief, Dudo presents a picture of a separate Norman people, who settled in an area deserted after years, not to say generations, of Viking attack. After conversion to Christianity, it was the historic mission of the dynasty founded by Rollo, the Viking chief, to lead a new Christian people, the Normans. In their military successes over their hostile Frankish neighbours, the newly Christianised Normans were presented as agents of divine punishment. Here we have the origin of the 'Norman myth', discussed by R. H. C. Davis in the mid 1970s, for the work of Dudo informs all the other Norman writers, such as William of Jumièges and Orderic Vitalis, both of whom developed the theme of the military prowess of the uniquely Christian Normans. The image of Normandy that Dudo constructed has pervaded the historiography and still hangs over the early history of the principality.(4)
After setting the historiographical and geographical contexts, Pierre Bauduin looks at the origins of the frontiers of upper Normandy. In the ninth century the name of one of the original Merovingian kingdoms, Neustria, had survived and was still applied to the area west of Paris. Its administration had been revamped to counter the power of the Breton rulers and, as Viking raids increased during the ninth century, expedients such as the fortified bridge at Pîtres were devised to prevent Viking penetration of the inland areas. We are here in Marc Bloch's first feudal age, when the castle is about to develop and defence is becoming localised, with an additional perspective of the territorial strategies, pursued by individual families such as that led by Robert, marquis of Neustria.
Territory was ceded to the Viking leader Rollo by the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple (893–922), in the Treaty of Clair-sur-Epte, conventionally dated to 911, although the earliest contemporary reference to the cession dates from 918. Bauduin sees this act in its Frankish context, as the king strove to maintain his position against the increasing powers of the great lords. The king's chosen ally, whom Bauduin describes as the "king's Norman" (p. 134), was admitted to the circle of Frankish lords, and the marriages of Rollo and his two children, William Longsword and Gerloc, into the families of the most important lords demonstrate that acceptance. The foundation of Normandy was not a sign of Frankish weakness in the face of Viking attack, but a conscious act of policy, calculated to procure the services of a military leader of proven worth, and those services were as likely to be used in internal power struggles as in repelling external attack.
The precise limits of the cession are unclear. Dudo indicates that the whole of the area now known as Normandy, together with Brittany was ceded, but there is no contemporary support for this. The annalist Flodoard of Rheims in fact mentions three instances in which territory was ceded in 911, 924 and 933, and Pierre Bauduin's research supports this view. His examination of material on the Evrecin, the area around Evreux in southern Normandy, could locate no satisfactory references to Norman influence there until the 980s, but he does identify coastal Picardy as an area of opportunity for the rulers of Rouen. After the deposition of Charles the Simple in 922, the area was susceptible to rivalries. The counts of Flanders pushed southward and the Norman rulers of Rouen moved east. The prize seems to have been, even at this early stage, the potentially lucrative connection with England. The counts of Flanders already had a family connection through the marriage of Baldwin II (879–918) to Aelfthryth, the daughter of King Alfred, and King Louis IV of France (936–954) was, of course, Louis d'Outremer, since he had been exiled among his mother Eadgifu's people when his father, Charles the Simple, was deposed. The movement into Picardy was not without setback for the Normans, since the second member of Rollo's dynasty, his son William Longsword (933–42), was killed at Picquigny by the agents of the count of Flanders, leaving a young son, Richard I, and a lengthy minority.
For a hundred years from 888, the kingship of the Franks alternated between two families: Charles the Simple's successors and the descendants of Robert, marquis of Neustria. Count Richard I of Rouen (942–996) developed an alliance with the latter family when he married Hugh the Great's daughter Emma, but after Hugh's death in 956 that family lost influence. Some of their extensive property in the former Neustria, particularly the area around Chartres and Châteaudun, slipped from their control into that of another family, whom historians describe as the Thibaudians after the family's lead name of Theobald. Just as the marquises of Neustria had challenged the powers of the king, so now their own power was fragmented. Rivalry between the newly-established Thibaudian family and the not-much-longer established counts of Rouen took off in the 960s as the Thibaudians sought the support of the Carolingian kings and the counts of Rouen remained allied with the family of Hugh the Great.
During the 980s and 990s the Evrecin was the site of their battles, and there was to be continued conflict there right up to the 1060s, with Norman influence moving southwards only slowly. Pierre Bauduin has measured this southward expansion of the counts of Rouen through claim and counter-claim to the town of Dreux and a meticulous examination of the history of local families and the strongholds they held. He assigns a particularly important role to Ralph, half-brother of Richard I, who held the castle of Ivry-la-Bataille on the River Avre. He suggests that Ralph was established here and at Pacy in the stand-off between the Normans and the Thibaudians at the end of the tenth century. He sees (p. 210) locally established warriors gravitating to Ralph's service at the castle, and bringing their customs with them.
Ralph of Ivry was among the first of the Norman lords to be given the title count. In contrast with the title inflation of the rest of northern France, where local lords started to call themselves counts, the Norman counts of Rouen kept the title for their own use until they adopted the style of dukes of Normandy. Thereafter the title of count was sparingly conferred upon close family members, such as Ralph, who were given specific military tasks. The title thus retained, in some measure, the characteristics of the Carolingian office of count: it was granted by the duke, it was revocable and it held the specific duties of defence and the administration of the duke's rights. Ralph of Ivry played an important role in the consolidation of ducal power, both on the southern frontier and further west in lower Normandy, and many of his interests and responsibilities descended to his son-in-law Osbern the Steward, and to his grandson, William fitz Osbern, the companion of the Conqueror. As pressure from the south again heightened in the 1050s, Duke William built a castle at Breteuil, which he entrusted to William fitz Osbern.
In considering the Norman/Picard border in the eleventh century, Pierre Bauduin notes a similar focus of ducal influence at Arques, where William the Conqueror's uncle William was established from the late 1030s with the title of count. Another ducal cousin was established at Eu and by the second half of the eleventh century a comital dynasty was in place. It was in this area that the Norman dukes made greatest use of the politics of matrimony. A sister of Duke Robert II (1027–35) was married to Baldwin IV of Flanders; a ducal cousin, Godgifu, sister of Edward the Confessor, was married to the count of Boulogne; William the Conqueror married Matilda of Flanders. William's sister Adelaide became the wife of the Count of Ponthieu, and there is detailed discussion of the emergence of the county of Aumale which she carried to her next two husbands.
As the eleventh century passed, however, the Vexin border became more problematic, and it was a raid across this border that was to cost William the Conqueror his life in September 1087. The River Epte had delineated the border of Norman influence since the earliest cession to Rollo, but the authority of the archbishop of Rouen extended further south, and in the early eleventh century numerous Norman religious houses held lands on either side of this frontier. Here the Normans' neighbours were the counts of Amiens, Valois and Vexin, with whom, from the mid tenth century, relations were generally cordial, culminating in the joint pilgrimage of Count Walter I and Duke Robert I of Normandy to the Holy Land in 1035. From the 1050s, however, there was a rapprochement between the counts and the kings of France, and William the Conqueror began to fortify this border, just as the others had been fortified. William Crespin was given the castle of Neaufles and Hugh of Grandmesnil was established at Neufmarché. The extraordinary retirement to a monastery by Simon, Count of Amiens/Valois/Vexin in 1077 gave King Philip I (1060–1107) an opportunity to seize his lands, and brought the king of France into direct contact across the River Epte with the man who was now king of England, as well as duke of Normandy.
Pierre Bauduin makes observations from the borders of Normandy and from there he discerns that the picture of political and territorial stability within the duchy in the tenth and eleventh centuries is illusory. The congruence of the duchy of Normandy and the archdiocese of Rouen was a product of the second half of the tenth century as the energetic society that emerged there expanded beyond the limits of the original area ceded to Rollo. Bauduin notes that during the eleventh century the dukes had the ability to control the frontiers through castles and the right of exile, but did so in partnership with a newly emerged aristocracy that had territorialised their power, seized the profits of office and built castles. For Bauduin, William the Conqueror's great achievement was to work with this aristocracy, when there was every likelihood that these developments would weaken ducal power. Border security was achieved in a different way in each sector, but in the 1060s, as a result of the deaths of King Henry I of France and Geoffrey of Anjou, William was sufficiently confident to capitalise on the links with England that had been developing for two hundred years, and in September 1066 he set sail for England.
So, does this hold water? Bauduin's analysis of the relationships of family to location is detailed and powerful, and he shows the dynamic of the ducal/aristocratic partnership at work. One lineage might gain through ducal patronage at the expense of another; thus the Gournays benefitted from the fall of William of Arques in 1053, and the duke might offer a reliable man an opportunity in an area where he had no landed interests, just as he entrusted Hugh of Grandmesnil with Neufmarché. Bauduin is strong on this ducal direction of the border families, but not every family can have been implanted at ducal behest. As Norman influence expanded from Rouen some locally established families must have been won over and convinced of the advantages of working with the ruler of Rouen or his agent. Just as Roger of Montgommery had to find ways of working with local families when William the Conqueror encouraged him to takeover the lands to the south of Normandy inherited by his wife, Mabel of Bellême, so the Normans must have had to work with locals in earlier periods. Otherwise Musset's argument about continuing institutions is undermined.
Now clearly it is not easy to find direct evidence for this. Bauduin comments on the absence of material both for the very early period and for the twenty years or so in which Richard I laid the foundations for Norman polity that is described by Dudo. Much has been deduced from examining the patrimony of Norman religious houses: the policy of Robert, marquis of Neustria is revealed in looking at the property of the abbey of La Croix-Saint-Ouen (p. 135ff), while changing political fortunes in the north east are demonstrated by the history of the College at La Ferté-en-Bray (p. 293). Bauduin is adept at finding the less well known sources – indeed, in her preface Regine Le Jan compliments him on his excellent knowledge of the written sources, but there is, in the final analysis, not much material to be found. Thus might it not be the case that the partnership of the dukes with a territorialised aristocracy that Bauduin sees in the eleventh century could also be found in the tenth century, if we had the evidence? Might Dominique Barthelémy's observation about revelation rather than revolution be helpful here?
This is a splendidly produced book that is a credit to its publisher. It is notoriously difficult to get genealogies right, but this reader found only one typographical error here – in Table VII, the counts of Ponthieu. There is a valuable appendix on the history of the counts of Evreux, as well as a dossier of 20 texts, 16 of them hitherto unpublished. Above all its contents are meticulously researched and carefully and clearly presented. It is a thought provoking and important contribution, taking advantage of new approaches, to update our understanding of the emergence of the duchy of Normandy.

10 things you need to know before the opening bell
Jonathan Garber
Here is what you need to know.
The world has entered a bear market. On Thursday, the MSCI All-Country World Index ended down 20% from its May peak, marking the start of a global bear market. The index tracks large and mid-cap stocks in 23 developed and 23 emerging countries.
Greece is back in recession. Greece's economy contracted 0.6% in the fourth quarter, dropping it back into a recession for the second time in a year. The reading was an improvement from the 1.4% decline in the third quarter, but raises concerns about the viability of the country's bailout program. According to Bloomberg, the European Commission expects Greece's economy to contract 0.7% in 2016 before growing 2.7% in 2017.
OPEC is reportedly ready to agree on a production cut. Thursday afternoon, Wall Street Journal OPEC correspondent Summer Said tweeted, "OPEC is ready to cooperate on a cut, but current prices are already forcing non-opec producers to at least cap output, says UAE Energy min." The tweet lifted oil off its more than 12-year low of $26.14 per barrel. WTI has rallied more than 5% on the news and is currently trading near $27.50 per barrel.
The head of the Eurogroup isn't afraid of a banking crisis. Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem is downplaying the prospects of another banking crisis in the region, according to the AFP. "I believe that in the eurozone, structurally, we are in a much better place than we were a few years ago. That also goes for our banks," Dijsselbloem said at a meeting of eurozone finance ministers. Additionally, German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble noted markets are exaggerating the region's problems.
It looks like Christine Legarde will lead the IMF for a second term. Christine Legarde looks poised to be the head of the International Monetary Fund for another five years. Wednesday's 11:59 p.m. ET deadline for nominating candidates came and went without any opposition to Legarde. However, Bloomberg notes that Legarde's future at the IMF might be complicated by her upcoming trial in France for "negligence" related to a settlement the French government reached with businessman Bernard Tapie while Legarde was finance minister.
Jamie Dimon loaded up on JPMorgan stock. A person familiar with the matter told Dow Jones that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has purchased 500,000 shares of his company's stock. The $26 million purchase is said to be a sign of Dimon's confidence in the bank. Shares of JPMorgan are higher by 2.7% in early trade.
Carl Icahn and John Paulson had a big win at AIG. Activist investors Carl Icahn and John Paulson received seats on AIG's board of directors. While Paulson will be taking the seat for himself, Icahn will be awarding it to an analyst at his firm. "I hope and believe that we will work with AIG's board to enhance value as we have done with so many other boards and companies in the past," Icahn said in a statement. Recent filings disclosed Icahn owns 42.2 million shares of the company and Paulson owns 14.6 million. AIG shares are up 1.7% ahead of the opening bell.
Groupon is surging after its earnings beat. The online discount marketplace announced adjusted earnings of $0.04 per share, beating the breakeven quarter that was expected by the Bloomberg consensus. Revenue edged up 3.8% to $917.2 million, topping the $845.9 million that was anticipated. "Following a stronger than expected fourth quarter, we enter 2016 with a continued focus on streamlining our global operations, reducing our reliance on low margin products in our shopping business and rekindling our customer acquisition efforts to set the stage for accelerated growth," CEO Rich Williams said in the earnings release. The stock is higher by 23% in pre-market action.
Global stock markets are mixed. Japan's Nikkei (-4.8%) led the sell off in Asia and Germany's DAX (+1.5%) paces the gains in Europe. S&P 500 futures are higher by 17.50 points at 1842.00.

Mother nature (wind in particular) is a big factor pilots need to take into account.
Generally, pilots will try to take off and land into the wind because it's better aerodynamically. When winds are fairly light, this matters less and aircraft can take different approaches and use various runways.
But when winds are strong, it limits the runways aircraft can safely use. And, a bit like closing a few lanes on the freeway at peak hour, that can cause some delays.
So for instance, strong westerly winds in Sydney usually means that the only runway available is the main east-west one. So, all airlines are lining up to land and take off on this runway.
Unfortunately delays in Sydney or at other large airports with lots of flights can then cause knock on effects to other parts of the network.
In the event of a delay – just know our airport teams and operations centre staff will always do their best to get you on your way.

About Stockholm
Named in this century as both Europe's Cultural Capital and also the continent's first Green Capital, Stockholm is the largest city in Scandinavia, with about 1.8 million residents in the metropolitan area -- about one-fifth of Sweden's total population. The city, founded in 1252, comprises 14 islands, and is a popular port of call and turnaround port on Northern Europe cruises.
Stockholm's premier tourist attraction is Gamla Stan (literally, Old Town), one of the largest neighborhoods of 16th-century buildings in Europe. Block after block of these four- and five-story structures are painted in vivid colors typical of Mediterranean villages and occasionally feature wrought-iron signs symbolizing ancient craftworkers' guilds or faces of religious figures. Cobblestone streets and arms-width alleys criss-cross Gamla Stan. There, you'll also find the 18th-century Royal Palace atop the crown of the hill upon which Gamla Stan is located. (Sweden is a constitutional monarchy and has a one-house parliament).
Boulevards defining Stockholm's busy waterfront are also lined with photogenic architecture -- turrets, spires, stucco patterns -- mostly dating from before the turn of the 20th century. Elsewhere downtown, glass-and-steel retail centers and office buildings have replaced such older buildings. But the divergent styles tend to be clustered and don't compete with each other for the viewer's eye.
Offsetting the city's bustle and buildings are large swatches of green space. The Ekoparken, or eco-park, curves for six miles through a couple of the busiest islands and along one side of the downtown business district.
A word to the pennywise: Stockholm is expensive. Especially if you're spending time there pre- or post-cruise, a best-bet is the Stockholm Card, which provides automatic admission to about 80 museums and attractions, plus passage on buses, trams, subways and some ferries. Presuming you are in the city long enough to use it for some of the museums, it's easily worth the $65-$70 (about ?40) charge for a one-day card. Buy it online before leaving home.

This metropolitan city's Old Town features one of the largest 16th-century neighborhoods in all of Europe
Savings can be found, but Stockholm is expensive, so you'll want to set aside a good chunk of your budget for this port
Despite the potential expense, Scandinavia's largest city is a must-see
Stockholm Cruise Port Facilities?
If your ship docks at Frihamnen, leave ASAP. Except for the contemporary art museum Magasin 3, in a converted warehouse, this bland industrial area has no attractions for tourists. The port is used most often as a terminus for ferries crossing the Baltic Sea. While there is a souvenir shop and free Wi-Fi in the cruise ship terminal, there is no Internet cafe nor ATM; however, the ferry terminal, about a five-minute walk from the cruise terminal, does have an ATM machine. To reach a more charming part of Stockholm, grab a cab just a few yards from your ship or, slightly farther on, board buses near Magasin 3.
If your vessel docks at Gamla Stan, you will find museums, the 600-room Royal Palace, cafes, trinket shops, ATMs and banks, all just minutes' walk from the dock.
Visiting Gamla Stan means you'll be treading on cobblestones. Leave the high heels and the flimsy sandals back on the ship. To save a few kronor, avoid meals in the most-touristed areas, where price inflation is common: for instance, $27 for a small plate of Swedish meatballs. On the plus side, pickpockets and petty crime are not common in Stockholm.
You can explore Stockholm by electric trolleys (called tram), buses, ferries, the subway and on foot. The city is very walkable, with many of the prime tourist destinations within a couple of miles of one another. Taxis do accept credit cards, which is a plus because cabs can be costly; for example, a ride from Frihamnen to the city center -- near the main train station and central subway hub -- will cost about $25.
Remember, though, that you can use your Stockholm Card on public transport. Just step aboard the bus or tram, and show it to the driver.
Another option is to buy a ticket for the daily hop-on/hop-off bus. Tickets are good for 24 hours and come with a map noting various attractions and their bus stops; you can leave the bus and pick it up again at any of its stops. City Sightseeing offers both a bus-only and bus/boat option, and passengers can board the buses at Frihamnen, among other stops.
Finally, environmentally friendly Stockholm has a municipal bike-rental program that's convenient. Buy a three-day card online, at your hotel or at the main tourist office at Vasagatan 14. Find one of several dozen automated bike racks, which operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and scan your card, which will delete credits and unlock a bike for you. Ride it where you want, for up to three hours, then return it to any of the bike racks.
North American and European flights use Stockholm's sleek Arlanda Airport. It can be reached by the Arlanda Express train in just 20 minutes (some days the train offers two-for-one fares), by the direct bus known as Flygbussarna and by cab. The train and bus arrive at the Central Train Station. Rental cars are available at the airport.
The Swedish krona is the unit of currency. For up-to-the-minute rates check www.xe.com or www.oanda.com. Denominations of paper krona are 20, 50, 100 and 500. Amounts below 20 krona are settled with coins. ATMs are abundant in the city, as are currency-exchange shops, most prominently the company named Forex. Occasionally there are ATMs immediately outside Forex offices. Banks will also exchange currency.
Officially, it's Swedish, but English is a mandatory subject for several years of school, as is a choice of a third language. (French and German are the favorites). Consequently, workers in areas frequented by visitors speak more-than-adequate English.
Two cruise ports serve the city, though the one at Gamla Stan -- reserved for smaller ships -- is far more convenient for shore excursions. The site for larger ships, Frihamnen, is about a 15-minute cab ride (or step aboard Buses No. 1 or 76) from the heart of downtown.

Mark Zuckerberg, The Man Who Changed Social Networking
This American computer programmer and entrepreneur is famous as the co founder of the most popular social networking website Facebook. He has completely changed the scenario of social networking with setting high standard bars for competitors to match up the different features that constantly get updated.
Mark Zuckerberg has always been a technology freak and comes from an educated family background. His father was a dentist and his mother a psychiatrist and it was his father and tutor who helped him understand the basics of programming early on. Zuckerberg has tried his skills in writing several software and thanks to the early success dropped out of college to pursue a career as an entrepreneur.
A brilliant student, he excelled in academics and was a given that he would have a successful career in science and technology. His friends and family remember him to have always excelled in math and science and showed equal interest in classical studies of language and history. A close friend of his recollects that he was so well versed in Greek literature, he could recite some classic poems as well.
Early Years As A Software Developer
The first person to expose him to software development was his father; he taught him the basics of writing software programs and went on to get a tutor to hone his skills. His father nurtured his skills in software programming because he saw that his son had some extra special skills in the field. Mark in fact created some of his first software's to be implemented in his dad's dental practice, connecting all the computers to form a kind of networking platform. Growing up in a tech-savvy home where his father had the latest gadgets for his dental practice further helped Mark hone his skills.
Even during his college years he kept developing different kinds of software's that helped students with different tasks. Most of his software's were developed as a hobby and his roommates recollect the various experiences they had with him. Even the inspiration for Facebook is from their dorm register that had the same name. It had pictures and details of the students who lived there and this served as a stepping-stone to create one of the best social media platforms ever.
Even though he enrolled in Harvard, he dropped out once his career path as a software developer and entrepreneur was clearer. Facebook, which he created along with some of his friends, was instantly lapped up by one and all and this gave him more confidence to move in this career path and there was no looking back. He is one of the youngest billionaire software entrepreneurs and has steadily risen up the ladder.
Stumbling Blocks
Since most of his software's were developed on previously existent ideas or with inputs from friends, he has had to face a lot of legal battles with people who often claim intellectual rights over his ideas. He has fought all of them with conviction and has had favorable settlements.
The high point of his career was when Facebook shares were listed and even drew a lot of flak for not performing well. He has stood by his ups and downs with the support of his family and his grounded upbringing is one of the reasons for his philanthropic efforts. Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most followed people on different social networking platforms, including that of rival, Google+ and supports a lot of causes that are close to his heart.
James is a writer and blogger with 5 years experience.

Blue Jays acquire OF Melvin Upton Jr. from San Diego
TORONTO (AP) The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. from the San Diego Padres.
The Blue Jays also received cash from San Diego. In return, the Padres get minor league right-hander Hansel Rodriguez.
Upton is batting .256 with 16 home runs, 45 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. The 12-year veteran has also played for Tampa Bay and Atlanta.
Upton is in the fourth year of a five-year, $75.25 million contract he signed with the Braves before the 2013 season. He's owed $16.45 million next season.
The 19-year-old Rodriguez is in his third season with Bluefield in the Rookie level Appalachian League. He's 2-1 with a 3.06 ERA in six starts.
Upton sat out San Diego's past two games, including Monday's 4-2 loss at Toronto. The Padres are making their first to Toronto this week.
Toronto will make a roster move to open a spot for Upton before Tuesday's game.

Q: Android Studio Update Conflicts when updating:

File: NOTICE.txt Action: Validate Problem: Absent
File: Install-Linux-tar.txt Action: Validate Problem: Absent

pic

A: I just ran across this issue, and found a solution.
The self-update seems to be very picky about these files. Simply creating empty ones or even copying the ones from a wrong version doesn't work.
You need to download the exact package for your current (old) version, extract these two files and place them in the correct location.
In my case, using Manjaro Linux and upgrading from Android Studio 3.5.3 to the latest version (3.6.1), I downloaded:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/ide-zips/3.5.3.0/android-studio-ide-191.80264235-linux.tar.gz
Notice that you need the exact version (in my case 3.5.3.0) and build number (in my case 191.80264235). I found these in the PKGBUILD for my current Android Studio version.
Extracted the two files, and copied them to /opt/android-studio
Finally I ran Android Studio again (as root, to have the necessary write permissions for that directory), clicked to upgrade and it worked.

A: Running as root did not work for me so I performed
 sudo chown -R \<username> /opt/android-studio

Then I copied in the two files per above after extracting them.
 cp -p /extract_directory/android-studio/NOTICE.txt /opt/android-studio

 cp -p /extract_directory/android-studio/Install-Linux-tar.txt /opt/android-studio

Ein Herbarium oder Herbar (von lateinisch herba "Kraut") ist eine Sammlung konservierter (meist getrockneter und gepresster) Pflanzen bzw. Pflanzenteile (Exsiccate) für wissenschaftliche Zwecke oder auch für die Liebhaber-Beschäftigung mit der Botanik. Wissenschaftliche Herbarien haben mitunter auch Teilsammlungen nasskonservierten Materials (in Alkohol) oder Holzsammlungen (Xylarium).

Einzelne Pflanzen bzw. ihre Teile sind dabei als Einheit erkennbar auf einem Herbarbogen aufgeklebt (Herbarbeleg). Sie sollten von einem Aufsammlungsereignis stammen und die Fundumstände dokumentiert sein (Datum, Fundort, Standort, Sammler etc.).

Neben dem Herbarium gibt es auch historische Kräuterbücher (Herbarius), die Abbildungen von Pflanzen enthalten.

Zweck eines Herbariums
Ein Herbarium erlaubt dem Botaniker, Pflanzen unterschiedlicher Herkunft zu vergleichen und unsichere Bestimmungen zu überprüfen ("Vergleichsherbar") oder Vorkommen bestimmter Arten an ihren Wuchsorten nachzuweisen ("Belegherbar"). Durch Auswertung älterer Herbarien lassen sich nicht selten Änderungen in der Häufigkeit oder Verschiebungen der Verbreitungsgebiete nachzeichnen. Das spätere (Neu-)Bestimmen einer Pflanze im Herbarium ist fast immer möglich; die räumlichen Strukturen bleiben nämlich beim Trocknen und Pressen erhalten. Farben können zwar ausbleichen oder sich verändern; jedoch bedient man sich gewisser "Faustregeln" – so weiß man, dass gelbe Pflanzenteile nach dem Trocknen langsam schwarz werden.

Bestimmungsschlüssel und Florenwerke beruhen in den meisten Fällen ebenfalls auf dem Vergleich von Herbarbelegen, nur selten und ausnahmsweise können die oft seltenen und in weit auseinanderliegenden, schwer zugänglichen Regionen wachsenden Arten direkt im Gelände verglichen werden. Dadurch ist es in manchen Fällen paradoxerweise leichter, Herbarbelege seltener Arten bis zur Art zu bestimmen als lebende Exemplare direkt am Standort. Neben Gestalt und Farbe weichen auch Maße wie die Länge und Breite von Pflanzenorganen bei konservierten Pflanzen sehr oft von denjenigen frischer Exemplare ab. Dies ist beim Vergleich zu berücksichtigen.

Das Anlegen eines Herbariums war früher Voraussetzung für das Vorexamen als Apotheker. Auch heute noch wird im Biologiestudium und in verwandten Studiengängen an vielen Universitäten das Anlegen eines kleinen Herbariums als Übung gefordert. Teilweise wird auch bereits in der Schule im Biologieunterricht ein kleines Herbarium angelegt; die Anforderungen sind hierbei natürlich deutlich geringer.

Herbarien als Sammlungen
Ein wissenschaftliches Herbarium ist ein Spezialfall einer Forschungssammlung (oder wissenschaftlichen Sammlung), mit den üblichen Aufgaben, und Problemstellungen, einer solchen Einrichtung. Geleitet wird es in der Regel von einem Kurator, dem, je nach Größe der Sammlung, Sammlungsassistenten und technisches Personal zur Seite stehen. Kleinere Herbarien, mit weniger als etwa 50000 Herbarbelegen, stehen in dieser Hinsicht oft erheblichen Problemen gegenüber. Oft ist kein besonderer, hauptamtlicher Kurator designiert, es wird erwartet, dass ein anderer Mitarbeiter des Museums, der Universität oder einer anderen Institution, die das Herbarium unterhält, diese Aufgabe neben seinen anderen Aufgaben nebenher mit erledigt. Für die Kuratierung auch einer kleineren Sammlung wird, grob abgeschätzt, ein Zeitbedarf von im absoluten Minimum einer Viertel Vollzeitstelle veranschlagt. Neben den Aufgaben als Belegherbar und Vergleichsherbar sind eine ganze Reihe weiterer Aufgaben zu berücksichtigen. So sollen Studenten und Fakultäten mit Material für Übungs- und Ausbildungszwecke versorgt werden. Wissenschaftler anderer Fachbereiche, zum Beispiel Vegetationskundler und Biogeographen, aber auch Archäologen (Archäobotaniker) und viele andere sollen in ihrer Arbeit, als Dienstleistung, unterstützt werden. Anfragen anderer Institutionen nach Sammlungsmaterial müssen bearbeitet, ggf. dessen Versand organisiert werden. Im Idealfall soll darüber hinaus öffentlich für Belange der Botanik, und der Biodiversität allgemein, informiert und geworben werden, Amateur- und Hobbyforscher unterstützt und die Öffentlichkeit durch Bereitstellung von Daten informiert werden.

Ein besonderes Problem, mit zunehmender Bedeutung, ist die Datenhaltung. Wie in anderen Sammlungen, wurden die Daten früher in Katalogen und auf Karteikarten niedergelegt. Bei der Datenhaltung in EDV-Systemen sind, wie in allen vergleichbaren Fällen, standardisierte Registratur- und Austauschformate zu entwickeln und sicherzustellen. Dabei ist eine ständige Pflege des Datenbestands erforderlich, zum Beispiel, wenn sich der gültige wissenschaftliche Name einer Art ändert oder wenn ein zur Art bestimmter Beleg von einem anderen Botaniker einer anderen Art zugeordnet wird. Plattformen für den Datenaustausch wie GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), Darwin Core (Standard der Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG)) oder BioCase (Biological Collection Access Service) und andere sind dabei nicht immer vollständig miteinander kompatibel.

Herbarbelege
Ein Herbarbeleg ist im Regelfall ein getrocknetes und flachgepresstes Exemplar eine Pflanze oder, bei größeren Pflanzen, eine Sammlung von Teilen davon, wie zum Beispiel beblätterten Trieben oder Zweigen, Blütenständen und Blüten usw., die auf einen Karton oder einen Bogen Papier aufgeklebt ist. Wesentliche Angaben werden auf einem aufgeklebten Etikett dokumentiert, ohne das ein Beleg wissenschaftlich von geringem Wert ist. Bei Pflanzenarten, die aufgrund ihrer Morphologie nur schwer in dieser Form aufzubewahren sind, etwa weil sie zu groß und sperrig sind oder die beim Trocknen ihre Form verlieren, werden ersatzweise andere Konservierungsmethoden verwendet. Auch für Herbarbelege von Moosen, Flechten und Pilzen existieren eigene, standardisierte Methoden, die vom Vorgehen bei Gefäßpflanzen abweichen.

Die für einen Herbarbogen gesammelte Pflanze soll vollständig und von guter Qualität sein. Bei großen Pflanzen sollen die für die Bestimmung relevanten Pflanzenteile (Blüten/Früchte, Blatt, Spross, Wurzel) vorhanden sein. Das Pflanzenmaterial soll ohne Schäden (mechanisch, Pilzbefall, Vergilben) gepresst und getrocknet sein und interessante Bestandteile sollen klar sichtbar sein. Um einen Herbarbeleg anzulegen, müssen zunächst Pflanzen gesammelt werden. Dazu sind möglichst typische, für die Population repräsentative Exemplare auszuwählen. Im Regelfall werden nur blühende oder fruchtende Exemplare ausgewählt. Normalerweise sollten immer mehrere Exemplare herbarisiert werden. Wenn zur Vervollständigung Teile verschiedener Individuen auf einen Bogen montiert werden, besteht allerdings das Risiko, dass sie verschiedene Pflanzensippen repräsentieren. Der Sammler muss über botanische Kenntnisse verfügen, damit er weiß, welche Merkmale für die entsprechende Gruppe wesentlich sind, und das Material entsprechend auswählt; so sind bestimmte Arten nur im blühenden bzw. im fruchtenden Zustand bestimmbar. Früher wurden zum Sammeln Botanisiertrommeln benutzt, heute erfüllen Kunststofftüten diesen Zweck. Bestimmte Pflanzen, zum Beispiel aus der Familie Papaveraceae, müssen bereits im Gelände gepresst werden, da die Belege sonst zerfallen (hier: die Blütenblätter verlieren).

Zur Weiterbehandlung der gesammelten Pflanzen existieren mehrere Methoden, die je nach äußeren Umständen (klimatische Bedingungen, Platzbedarf auf Reisen usw.) ihre Vor- und Nachteile haben. Wenn möglich, werden die Pflanzen meist direkt anschließend getrocknet und gepresst. Um die Pflanzen zu pressen, verwendet man entweder spezielle Gitterpflanzenpressen mit Zugfedern oder im einfachen Fall legt man die Pflanze zwischen Fließpapier (ersatzweise Zeitungspapier) und Holzplatten und beschwert diese. Das zum Trocknen verwendete Papier sollte dabei regelmäßig gewechselt werden, da die Pflanzen ansonsten Gefahr laufen zu schimmeln, dabei sollte aber der Fließpapierbogen mit dem Herbarbeleg selbst, bis zur vollständigen Trocknung, niemals gewechselt werden. Oft werden Abstandshalter eingefügt, um Luftzirkulation zu ermöglichen. Wichtig ist es, die Belege schon in diesem Stadium eindeutig zu kennzeichnen, um späteren Verwechslungen vorzubeugen. Während einfaches Trocknen zwischen saugfähigem Papier unter optimalen Bedingungen ausreichen kann, ist es meist erforderlich, die Belege über einer Wärmequelle künstlich zu trocknen.

Vor allem in tropischen Klimaten werden die Herbarbelege alternativ dazu zunächst unter Verwendung von Alkohol aufbewahrt, um erst später unter besseren Bedingungen getrocknet zu werden. Dieses Vorgehen wird als Schweißfurth-Methode bezeichnet. Dazu werden die zwischen Fließpapier gepressten Belege unter Luftabschluss in dicht schließenden Plastikbeuteln in Alkohol eingelegt.

Die fertig getrockneten Pflanzen werden anschließend zur dauerhaften Aufbewahrung auf einen Herbarbogen montiert. Um Beschädigungen beim Hantieren vorzubeugen, werden die Pflanzen mit gummierten Papierstreifen auf dem Herbarbogen festgeklebt. Das flächige Aufkleben, oder gar das in Laien-Herbaren manchmal angewendete Einschweißen der Bögen unter Plastikfolie, sind in wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen nicht akzeptabel. Minimale Angaben auf einem Herbariumsblatt sind Fundort (möglichst GPS-Koordinaten), Funddatum und Finder. Meist wird auch noch der wissenschaftliche Name der Pflanze angegeben. Es ist üblich, dass der Sammler für jeden Herbarbeleg eine eindeutige Sammelnummer vergibt. Von Bedeutung für zukünftige Betrachter sind außerdem Angaben zu Standort, Häufigkeit, Begleitpflanzen und weitere Beobachtungen. Zusätzlich sollten Merkmale notiert werden, die nur an der lebenden Pflanze feststellbar sind (Gesamt-Wuchshöhe bei Gehölzen, Farbe der frischen Blüten usw.).

Um einen dauerhaften Zugriff auf die gesammelten Pflanzen sicherzustellen, werden die Herbarpflanzen unter klimakontrollierten Bedingungen gelagert. Eine trockene Lagerung ist wichtig, um Fäulnis und Schimmelbildung zu verhindern. Staubläuse, Museumskäfer oder andere Sammlungsschädlinge, die von getrockneten Pflanzen leben, werden am besten durch gelegentliches Tiefkühlen bekämpft.
Die einzelnen Herbarbögen werden im Optimalfall liegend in flachen Fächern aufbewahrt. Die Ansichten über den Gebrauch von Kunststofffolien zur Abdeckung anstelle von Papier sind geteilt.
Der Name einer Pflanzenart geht oft auf ein bestimmtes getrocknetes Exemplar, den Holotypus dieser Art, in einem wissenschaftlichen Herbarium zurück.

Pflanzenarten können, nach nationalem Recht oder durch internationale Verträge und Vereinbarungen, dem Artenschutz unterliegen. In Deutschland betrifft dies zum Beispiel die nach Bundesartenschutzverordnung (BArtSchV) "besonders" bzw. "streng" geschützten Arten. Deshalb sind vor dem Herbarisieren genaue Informationen über die vorliegende Pflanzenart einzuholen. Gegebenenfalls ist bei der zuständigen Behörde eine Ausnahme zu beantragen.

Herbarbelege zur DNA-Extraktion
Neben ihrer traditionellen Bedeutung besitzen Herbarbelege heute, wie andere Belege in wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen, zunehmende Bedeutung zur Gewinnung von DNA-Belegen, deren Sequenz wichtige Grundlage für Taxonomie und Systematik besitzt (Phylogenomik); außerdem dienen bestimmte und benamte Belege als Referenz zur Arterkennung mittels DNA-Barcoding. Durch die Weiterentwicklung der entsprechenden Techniken (genannt "next-generation sequencing") ist es heute möglich, auch ältere Belege mit teilweise durch altersbedingten Zerfall degradierter DNA noch zu nutzen; auch die nach der Schweißfurth-Methode mit Alkohol behandelten Exemplare, die früher kaum verwendbar waren, liefern nun auswertbares Material. Allerdings ist die Verwendung alter Herbarbelege methodisch ausgesprochen schwierig, weil die Proben durch Verunreinigung oft mit Fremd-DNA kontaminiert sind, was die Ergebnisse verfälschen kann. Hier sind die für aDNA entwickelten, aufwändigeren Methoden einzusetzen.

Virtuelles Herbarium
Hauptartikel: Virtuelles Herbarium
Mittlerweile haben einige Herbarien Teile ihrer Sammlung digitalisiert, um sie bspw. über das Internet einem breiten Publikum verfügbar machen zu können. Herbar Digital war ein Forschungsprojekt zur Rationalisierung der Virtualisierung (Digitalisierung) von botanischem Belegmaterial. In den 2010er Jahren kamen Massendigitalisierungsstraßen zum Einsatz.

Entstehung
Der Ausdruck "Herbarium" bezeichnete in der frühen Neuzeit zunächst ein Kräuterbuch. Sammlungen getrockneter Pflanzen nannte man hingegen "Herbarium vivum", "Herbarium siccum" oder auch "Hortus hiemalis" (lateinisch "Wintergarten"), weil es im Winter die Anschauung der lebenden Pflanzen im Garten ersetzen sollte. Die ersten Erwähnungen gepresster Pflanzen stammen aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Die frühesten Herbarien wurden in der ersten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts mit der Gründung von Botanischen Gärten in Mittelitalien angelegt. Das früheste erhaltene Herbarium, heute in Florenz, ist das des italienischen Botanikers und Priesters Michele Merini, das um 1545 angelegt wurde. Die Erfindung wird Merini, häufiger aber seinem Lehrer Luca Ghini (1490–1556) zugeschrieben, der mit dem Orto botanico in Pisa auch den weltweit ersten botanischen Garten begründete. Die frühen Herbarien waren meist, analog Kräuterbüchern zu einem Buch (Codex) zusammengebunden. Ein solches "liber ex plantis agglutinatis" schenkte zum Beispiel Andrea Cesalpino dem Herzog Cosimo I. de' Medici. Erhalten ist das, heute in Leiden aufbewahrte, Herbarium des Leonhard Rauwolf, in dem er auf 513 Bögen Pflanzen seiner Reise in den Orient sammelte. Das vermutlich älteste erhaltene deutscher Herbar ist das von Caspar Ratzenberger von 1592, es wird heute im Naturkundemuseum Ottoneum in Kassel ausgestellt. Waren diese frühen Herbarien zunächst noch mehr oder weniger so etwas wie zusammengetragene Kuriositätenkabinette, begann im Anschluss an die Arbeiten von John Ray, Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, Carl von Linné, Augustin Pyrame de Candolle und anderen Forschern ihrer Zeit die Aufstellung von systematischen Herbaren. Das Herbarium des Schweizer Botanikers Caspar Bauhin gehört zu den ersten, in denen alle bekannten Pflanzenarten, geordnet nach der von Linné begründeten Systematik, gesammelt werden sollten. Er nutzte sein Herbarium (heute in Basel aufbewahrt) nun auch als Mittel der Forschung, in dem er die gesammelten Pflanzen miteinander verglich und auf dieser Basis Differenzialdiagnosen aufstellte. Das Herbarium des irischen Botanikers Hans Sloane (1660–1753) wurde nach seinem Tode durch die britische Regierung angekauft, es bildet den Grundstock des Herbars des Natural History Museum. Carl von Linné stellte sein, für die Pflanzentaxonomie grundlegendes Werk vor allem auf Basis der Herbarien anderer zeitgenössischer Botaniker auf, über dasjenige des niederländischen Juristen George Clifford III. verfasste er sein Werk Hortus Cliffortianus. Das Herbarium von Linné selbst, das "nur" 14000 Belege enthält, wurde nach seinem Tode von seiner Witwe nach England verkauft, es liegt heute bei der Linnean Society of London. Viele der dort gehaltenen Belege sind in digitaler Form abrufbar.

Große Herbarien
Wissenschaftliche Herbarien sind in der Regel botanischen Gärten, naturkundlichen und naturhistorischen Museen oder biologischen Universitäts-Instituten, meist der speziellen Botanik, angegliedert. Alle großen und bedeutenden, international tätigen Herbarien sind im Verzeichnis "Index Herbariorum" aufgeführt. Dieser erschien erstmals 1935, damals noch in gedruckter Form. Zum Stand 1. Dezember 2016 weist der Index Herbariorum weltweit 2962 aktive wissenschaftliche Herbarien in 176 Ländern aus. Diese halten 381308064 Herbarbelege. Insgesamt sind an den Herbarien 11548 wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter beschäftigt. Die meisten Herbarien finden sich, mit 792, in Nordamerika und, mit 695, in Europa, davon 69 in Deutschland, 19 in Österreich, 16 in der Schweiz. In ganz Afrika existieren demgegenüber nur 47 Herbarien.

Comment for Professor Brian Cox.
I watch your programs on the science channel with great interest. Recently I watch your segment on the search for the "gravitron paticle" I believe that there is no such particle. Gravity is a consequence of the three other forces, electromagnetism, weak and strong force. Without these three you do not have gravity. Thinking that gravitron particles disappear into another dimension to explain the loss of energy in the accelerator is somewhat far reaching.
Gravity is to the three forces as a "shock" is to the flow of electrons.
love all your programs, came acroos a video done in 2005 of an eclipse in india. Filmed it while I was there and i understand its a rare eclipse with saturn the rings are clear on the video, wondered if you wanted to take a look? or know someone who might be interested?
This really is an amazing achievement. I would like to see the impact this having on science by 2015. I think that the world has so much to learn from such an extraordinary engineering construction.

I can't believe that January has already slipped by.
I have lots of exciting projects on my plate.
I'm illustrating a book for Christina Cody. It's going to have monsters and sparkles... right up my alley! We go to print in August. I can't wait to share more about it.
I've also been slipping in a little painting time here and there. Nothing to show from that yet.
And creating a few pieces of art for presents. This pastel piece was created the daughter of a friend. And it appears I'll be doing more gymnast according to the owner of the gym she practices at.
So lots going on, and feeling very blessed to have lots going on.

Three inventory quality trends to watch in digital advertising
July 24, 2018 | By Eric Bozinny Director, Inventory Quality—PubMatic @pubmatic
Ensuring the high-quality of inventory across the PubMatic platform, as it flows from sellers to buyers, requires strong policy, which standardizes compliance enforcement and operational coordination across account teams so that we spot issues early and often. It also requires a strategic focus on identifying what lies ahead for quality.
I'd like to share my thoughts on a few growing trends I expect to see regarding inventory quality. These views come from an amalgamation of inputs: my 10 years of experience in managing inventory quality, the signals and other clues arising from my daily quality operational work, and deep-dive investigations. Buyers have shifted their emphasis to quality and are focused on working with other quality-centric professionals across the industry.
Here are three major inventory quality trends:
Over-Reliance on Fraud Detection Technology
The industry has clearly spoken – third-party fraud detection is now considered "table stakes" for any large player, buyer or seller, in the digital advertising ecosystem. Though fraud detection vendors play an important role in helping to identify and avoid invalid traffic (IVT), I would advise treating this service as one tool among others to help improve quality.
No vendor measures quality the same way, yet many of them share the same MRC certification for Sophisticated IVT (SIVT). PubMatic uses a combination of IAS and White Ops to monitor invalid traffic rates and identify problematic pockets of inventory. However, many buyers use different fraud detection vendors and they may report very different results for the same inventory. These variances can be explained by unique proprietary methodology and differences in sampling where one vendor may look at a completely different subset of the same inventory vs. another vendor.
For example, if "Buyer A" is reporting their inventory is 100% IVT, while PubMatic's White Ops reporting is showing 1%, the promise of fraud detection technology as a standalone method to identify non-human traffic breaks down. Yet, when stepping back and viewing fraud detection as a starting point, conflicts between buyers and sellers are more likely to come to an agreement. I believe this because both parties can recognize that even with big differences in fraud reporting, a deep-dive investigation will uncover other signals that likely support one report or the other.
In this specific example, I may find other evidence supporting the buyer's claim and could come to a mutually agreeable conclusion (e.g. refund, blacklisting, termination of supplier, etc.). However, as often as not, my investigation might raise no other red flags to indicate poor inventory, and thus I would propose limiting access to that inventory for this buyer.
Growing Importance of Content and Audience
GDPR has impacted the ability of marketers to fully utilize the targeting potential of cookies and audience profiles in EMEA due to the regulatory changes in consent and privacy. One could argue GDPR is a direct consequence of the rise of ad tech and the lack of self-regulation concerning how the data of consumers are used in the targeting of advertising. Therefore, it is not unlikely that similar consumer data privacy and consent laws will spread around the globe. This will further reduce the efficacy of cookies and precipitating the return of contextual targeting for online advertising.
What does this mean? An increased focus on the quality of content—addressing fake news and brand safety concerns—as well as the quality of the audiences who consume this content as important quality trends in the marketplace.
Recognizing the importance of content and audience to buyers, PubMatic evaluates domains and apps not only on the level of IVT but also on the value of the audience and originality of the content. For instance, an organic, loyal audience is preferred to consumers acquired from other sources. We also avoid content farms and look-a-like sites that exist only as a necessary backdrop to sell ad impressions.
The Importance of Whitelisting and Ads.txt
Since ads.txt was introduced in 2017, adoption has been accelerating. Pixalate reports that as of March 2018, more than 50% of the top 5,000 programmatic sites have adopted ads.txt.
While ads.txt is a valuable tool to combat domain spoofing, it provides no inherent protection against IVT (bots and fraud). Further, it does not guarantee the quality of a domain's content and audience. For example, a domain created solely for the purpose of driving bot and/or acquired traffic through pages filled with content stripped from other sources can have an ads.txt file, but still be a bad source of inventory.
Thus, working with a whitelist of trusted domains is the single best practice for both buyers and resellers of inventory. Being familiar with the domains on which ads are running, and avoiding all other domains, is the best prevention.
I strongly suspect that most of the behavior leading to poor quality inventory comes from the point where money changes hands—the domains and apps where advertising is consumed. By wisely choosing which domains to work with and working with only whitelisted domains, many quality issues will be avoided entirely. Alternatively, when a small group of domains isn't enough to meet inventory requirements, working with trusted partners can also provide improved inventory quality and improved brand safety.

Children and their parents and grandparents will love these stories of family life, entitled The Pancake Stories because they begin with Timothy Taylor's adventure in making breakfast for his parents. Peggy Pond Church, one of the great New Mexico authors of the twentieth century, wrote these stories for her own sons in the 1930s, and her daughter-in-law Elizabeth Church created the illustrations in the 1950s. Now at last they are published, both in the original English and in Noël Chilton's Spanish translation.
All the Pancake Stories are about Timothy Taylor and his family: his mother, his father, and his eccentric aunties. A horse who goes to the movies, a cat who has too many kittens, and a dog who makes everyone laugh are all part of Timothy's world. Read these stories aloud. They will remind you how much fun it is to be a child.
Peggy Pond Church (1903–86) was the author of The House at Otowi Bridge: The Story of Edith Warner and Los Alamos, published in 1959 by the University of New Mexico Press and in print ever since. Church was presented with the Governor's Award for Excellence and Achievement in the Arts in 1984.
Noël Chilton lives in Albuquerque and is also the translator of Tía's Tamales (UNM Press).
Elizabeth Comfort Church studied art at the University of Oklahoma and the Parsons School of Design. After settling in Taos, New Mexico, she exhibited with other Taos artists.

Atlus Gives a Heartwarming Thanks to Fans for Persona 5 in the West
Posted by Gammalad
This morning the Persona series director Katsura Hashino came out today to thank all western fans for the love and support of Persona 5. The message is as follows:
As a developer, I'm very happy to hear that Persona 5 is being played by so many people overseas. To be honest, it's really hard to gauge its popularity in the West when our team's in Japan; we're not able to see everyone's comments and discussions. It'd be great to interact with the fans abroad, but sadly, I'm stuck in the development room slurping instant ramen (laugh). Persona 5 is a very "Japanese" story with some political aspects to it, so I couldn't imagine how Western players would react to it. I did know, however, that Persona 5 was highly anticipated by gamers overseas even back when we were developing the game, so I was curious to see how its story would be received.
I'm going off on a tangent here, but I think that traditional Japanese superhero stories tend to be about fighting off invaders from outside their society, while Western ones focus on fighting against villains and misfits that come from within it. There's a sense of society being responsible for creating this evil, and such a setting lets the audience's imagination run wild, like "it could've been me." For instance, doesn't the Joker from Batman make some valid points that resonate with you?
Persona 5 is also a superhero story in which you fight villains that are born from within society, so I thought that it might be received differently than the previous entries. Of course, it could've missed the mark completely and been criticized for it, so my anticipation and anxiety were split half and half. Since the game just launched in the West, I'd like to look back on it at a later time, once I receive feedback from the Western audience—how their gameplay experiences were, what kind of things they felt, etc. I hope that the tale of Persona 5 will leave a lasting impression on everyone who plays it. No matter what kind of project I take on going forward, I love creating RPGs that are both moving and relatable regardless of cultural differences—in fact, I'm most interested in strengthening those aspects right now.
Last year, with the milestone of the Persona series' 20th anniversary, I handed off the series development to my successors and announced the start of my new RPG project that takes place in a fantasy world. Be it a game set in modern day, like the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series, or a game set in a new fantasy world, I aim to create games that provide an invaluable experience of reflecting on oneself through a journey, while roleplaying as characters that players can deeply relate to.
These efforts are only made possible thanks to the positive reception we receive from fans—not just in Japan, but worldwide—of the Persona series and Atlus RPGs in general. I appreciate all your support for the newest entry in the Persona series, and I hope that everyone will enjoy the new Atlus RPGs to come.
Persona 5 has been a smash hit outside of Japan, and the game deserves every ounce of sales it gets. I am glad to see all of their hard work paid off. To see our review of Persona 5 you can check out our video one (written still pending):
