RPA in Insurance | Accelirate Inc.
RPA can be used to automate highly repetitive transaction based processes associated with Rating/Quoting/Issuance, Underwriting, Policy and Claims Administration processes.
P&C Insurance Industry is navigating through many disruptive technology trends. Mobility, Social Media, AI, Advanced Analytics, and a rapid proliferation of Uber, AirBnb type of shared economy services all of which fundamentally change how an Insurer assess risk before underwriting the Policy. Some of the newer startups have also brought the concept of peer to peer insurance (just like peer to peer lending) into the Market. The industry faces competitive pressures from cost-effective solutions in digital communication, customer direct distribution and cloud infrastructure that are now widely available. Digital technology is eroding the advantages of scale enjoyed by established insurers and empowering smaller players to compete for market share through more flexible pricing models and new distribution channels.
Amongst all of these disruptive trends the Insurers still have to efficiently manage their core Business process including Policy Management and Claims Administration. The Insurance Industry has been utilizing Offshore Business Process Outsourcing services for Customer Service Call Centers, Data Processing and Data mining, Underwriting Services, IT Services as well as other back office functions such as Finance & Accounting.
Although BPO brought in Offshore labor arbitrage based cost savings but the new breed of Automation technologies including RPA and AI have opened up additional and significant Cost Saving opportunities for these Companies. RPA can be used to automate highly repetitive transaction based processes associated with Rating/Quoting/Issuance, Underwriting, Policy and Claims Administration processes. RPA Bots can also assist Customer Reps and Brokers in Call Centers by reducing the CSR workload using Robot and Human coordination.
RPA is also the logical adoption path towards more advanced Artificial Intelligence technologies such as Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing & Deep Learning. For e.g. RPA can be great as long as we are dealing with structured machine readable data however once we start dealing with non-structured data such as Images, Hand written forms etc, the Machine Learning algorithms can be utilized to extract relevant data from such unstructured sources.
Although Insurance Agencies and Brokers have invested considerably in Policy Administration system, the fact remains that there still far too many manual Business Processes that exist around such Systems of Records. For e.g. a customer may be applying for a policy through multiple channels (web, mobile, in person etc). In many of these cases, the Policy Administration may not be fully capable of absorbing this information from multiple sources and there may be many manual processes that have to have to happen to capture the Customer information. RPA Robots can assemble the information coming from various channels, consolidate it, process it and input it into the Policy Administration system. The Robots can also manipulate the Policy Administration system workflow to a point where a subjective Human interaction is required. The process can be designed in such a way that there is a seamless back and forth hand off between Humans and Robots. This can speed up the time for Issuing new policies and handling policy endorsements.
There is a lot of buzz about Chatbots being introduced as a Direct Customer Channel. This is also a very promising new area where many of the Customer Service functions including Policy Issuance and Claims Management could potentially be handled by Chatbot based applications. The Chatbots are powered by Natural Language Processing engines from IBM Watson to Microsoft Cognitive Services. Although Chatbots technology may not be fully mature yet for widespread deployment, the automated Chat based Platforms will rapidly evolve as the new Application delivery channels with or without the Conversational Chatbots.

Israel Advances Two Construction Plans Beyond Green Line in Jerusalem
Friday, July 21, 2017 at 11:25PM
http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.800063
Freeze on construction in East Jerusalem over since Trump took office, according to right-wing politicians
by Nir Hasson 7 July 2017 Haaretz

The Jerusalem municipality announced on Thursday that it is advancing two construction plans in neighborhoods located beyond the Green Line. The move comes a day after a rare announcement by city hall that it expects similar plans which were previously submitted to receive approval.
During the two terms of former U.S. President Barack Obama and particularly during the last six years, construction of Jewish housing beyond the Green Line in Jerusalem markedly slowed. Once Donald Trump entered the White House, and especially after his visit to Israel in May, right-wing politicians began to declare that the freeze on construction in East Jerusalem was over.
It is now apparent that the Trump administration has removed all obstacles of the previous administration and a large number of pre-construction plans, some of them in the heart of the city's Palestinian neighborhoods, are being advanced.
Evidence of the wave of East Jerusalem construction was on display on Wednesday, when the Jerusalem municipality announced plans for 800 housing units in Pisgat Ze'ev, Neveh Yaakov, Ramot and Gilo. Another 114 units will be brought for approval in Palestinian neighborhoods. The development plans in these neighborhoods are not being advanced by the government but by private construction firms.
Of the plans submitted on Thursday, the first includes the construction of 500 housing units in the Jewish neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo that would extend toward the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Hanina. The second would expand the Ramot neighborhood by 152 new units toward the village of Beit Hanina and town of Bir Naballah.
In response to these announcements, nonprofit left-wing organization Ir Amim said, "the expansion of Israeli neighborhoods to Palestinian population centers is deliberately initiated by the right-wing government. In this way, the government will influence the future of the state when a political shift in government will allow for a diplomatic settlement, and a compromise in Jerusalem will become difficult and complex."

When someone tells you they're a "messianic believer," that can mean any number of things.
They're Jewish, have chosen to follow their Messiah, Yeshua of Nazareth, and are engaged in Jewish traditions and practices to some extent in their worship and lifestyle. They worship on Shabbat, observe the annual feast days of Leviticus 23, and keep some level of observance of the dietary laws. Their congregations range from mostly Jewish to a mixture of Jews and Gentiles. Example: Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations.
They're Jewish, follow Yeshua, and live out their faith in a style that has some allusions to Jewishness but looks more like traditional evangelical or charismatic Christianity. They probably worship on Shabbat, but in a setting dominated by Gentiles. Again, their level of observance varies.
They're Gentile and are strongly drawn to the messianic lifestyle, but maintain a distinction between themselves and Jews. They may worship in a Jewish-dominated congregation or be part of a mostly Gentile congregation that has a distinct Jewish orientation. Example: Beth Immanuel Sabbath Fellowship.
They're Gentile and lay claim to being members of Israel due to their belief in the Jewish Messiah. These are typically part of what's called the Ephraim or Two-House movement. They believe they are just as much a part of Israel as are the Jewish people. Some of them believe that they are actually genetic descendants of Israelites who were expelled from the Northern Kingdom of Israel by the Assyrians. Others say they have spiritually been transformed into Israelites due to their belief in the Messiah. All believe this will be made clear by the time of Messiah's return when the two houses (Ephraim and Judah) will be reunited. This movement typically cites passages like Ezekiel 37 and Ephesians 2:11-18 for support. Examples: Messianic Israel Alliance, Messianic Covenant Community, Hoshanah Rabbah, Gates of Eden Messianic Congregation.
They're Gentile and believe that the Torah (the law given in the first five books of the Bible) applies to all Christian believers, no matter if they are Jewish or Gentile. These are usually known as One-Law supporters. Some are also part of the Two-House movement while others aren't. Example: Torah Resource.

"I do think television can change things, and not in a grand 'save the world' kind of way." (Christian Witkin)
Immersion Therapy
The world needs Anderson Cooper. And vice versa. We go fork to fork with the CNN correspondent on how Outside kick-started his life, the perils of vacation, and how to make contact with a rebel group. (Hint: It's not like the bar scene in Star Wars.)
Patrick Symmes
A modest office on the seventh floor of a glass tower at Columbus Circle in Manhattan. Light snow is falling. Picture windows look east over Central Park. Enter Anderson Cooper, 40, silver-haired scourge of slow-moving FEMA bureaucrats and host of CNN's wide-ranging nightly newscast Anderson Cooper 360°. Cooper took the show prime-time in 2005, just after his emotional, outraged reporting from Hurricane Katrina made him a star; since then he's risen to the top in his time-slot ratings while filing dispatches from complex conflicts in the Third World. Telling hard stories has been Cooper's passion since 1992, when he traded his Yale degree for a Hi-8 camera, a fake press pass, and a plane ticket to meet Myanmar's Karen rebels, freelancing his way into jobs at the in-school network Channel One, ABC, and ultimately CNN. Now, back from a week in the Democratic Republic of Congo, part of his moonlighting work for 60 Minutes, Cooper is eager to go to lunch, but I force him to pause. At home, I have a shrine filled with artifacts from 20 years of reporting in the Third World, but Cooper's trophy shelf is vast and jealousy-inducing, with snapshots from around the world vying for space with his Kevlar helmet, handmade toys, and local art.
OUTSIDE: Sweet painting!
COOPER: I love this. It's a restaurant sign from Goma, in eastern Congo. I don't know why it says CHICAGO BULLS. I collect hand-painted stuff like this. Mostly I give it away.
And this sign, for Avenue Joseph Mobutu?
That's also from eastern Congo. The rebels had just taken over that town, so I went out there one night with a screwdriver and liberated it before they could trash it. I like it because it shows the old Zairean flag. I was obsessed with that flag when I was a kid. I always tell people Outside changed my life. When I was—
Wait. You can't tell that until we're sitting down.
A few minutes later, having been hailed twice by strangers on the way to lunch ("Thank you!" "Thank you, Anderson!"), Cooper settles into a restaurant booth. He talks a bit about his interest in Buddhism, which led him, early in his career, to spend a semester studying in Vietnam. Since then, he's reported from 58 countries, including some of the world's most hard-bitten war zones.
Don't you ever get scared?
I find it exhilarating, terrifying at times, depressing, fascinating. But I have a great desire to see it and to go back.
Did your own travel experience prepare you for that?
I had my eyes opened when I first went to Africa, when I was 17. It was my senior year of high school. My college applications were in, and I didn't see much point in being there.
The senior slump.
Right. So I decided to get out of town. And I used to read the travel ads in the back of Outside. A lot. And I remember finding an ad for this company called Encounter Overland, which ran trips in a British Army lorry through Africa. I went from Jo'burg to London overland, in three or four months. In that way, I say Outside changed my life, because that trip opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities and different experiences.
You had some tragedies in your family.
Yeah. My dad died when I was ten. My brother committed suicide. And all those were things that propelled me away, more than I would have gone otherwise. I got a job when I was 11 so I could start earning money. And when I was 14 I started doing these courses with NOLS. Mountaineering in the Wind River Range, kayaking in the Sea of Cortez. So by the time I went to Africa I was pretty independent, but it was the first time I'd been through a roadblock and had someone point a gun at me.
Did it change you? Your perception of the world?
It certainly opened it up. I mean, New York had been my universe, and none of that seemed real to me. Africa seemed real. I felt comfortable, which is hard to explain. I don't know why. There wasn't a lot of chitchat. You get down to the core very quickly, and you see people as they are. It's less confusing.
Did you feel at home with yourself while there?
I liked myself more there than I did here. I wanted to be that person. I grew up in a privileged environment [his mother is fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt], but to me the greatest privilege was at a very early age realizing that what a lot of people think they want, what a lot of people are aiming for—ultimately, they will be just as miserable as everybody else. Once you realize that, it's sort of freeing.
You weren't necessarily happy on that truck in Africa. But there is something deeply happy about those difficult experiences. People routinely say, "That was the greatest experience of my life." It's a strange alchemy, the way miserable things are turned into good memories.
When you are hospitalized with malaria, it's not so great, but in retrospect, yeah, it was the greatest thing ever.
But if people haven't had those experiences, they're afraid. They think, This is going to suck.
It's OK if it sucks. Of course it's going to suck at times. But it's also going to be exhilarating and invigorating, and it's going to quicken your pulse in a way it's never been quickened. And you know what? Not everything has to feel good. That's sort of a revelation—at least it was for me. You should go through it. It should suck. It's not all about enjoyment.
You bring me to my cynical view that America is the comfort nation, that we want to be cocooned.
I don't buy that. A lot of people are seriously interested in this stuff. More so than ever. Look at TV: There are tons of travel shows. Maybe it's armchair travelers, but that's OK. We all have our limitations.
You are convinced TV can do more good than harm.
Smart TV can. I'm a big believer in the power of television to bring you to a spot in a very visceral and real way. Whether it's Katrina or the DRC, it can have a quicker and bigger impact than anything.
The snow shower has turned into a blizzard. Cooper has consumed most of a filet mignon and two glasses of cranberry juice with soda.
Do you have favorite places that you dream about going back to?
Yes, absolutely. But I'm not sure I want to tell anybody.
Fess up.
I don't want people going.
Seeing the gorillas in Rwanda is something I really like.
That would be g-o-r—
Yes, g-o-r-i-l-l-a. I've done that six, seven, eight times now, going back to 1985. To be allowed to sit with them for an hour and have them brush by you or charge you or completely ignore you because they think you are so ridiculous. There's something about the intimacy that I find extraordinary… I also went along the coast of Croatia, which was just incredible.
This was when you got called back for Katrina.
Yeah, I didn't get to see as much as I wanted to. But I saw that Paris Hilton went last year, so I started to feel like maybe Croatia is done. And Brazil—I like Salvador a lot. Bahia is one of the remarkable places of the world. But I don't do well at resorts. I get bored very, very quickly.
Do you go on vacation?
No. Not really. It's a problem. My deal with 60 Minutes is I can only work for them on vacations and weekends. So if I take vacation time, I'd rather go somewhere for 60 Minutes.
That's your idea of a vacation?
Congo was my vacation. Being able to tell a story I couldn't otherwise tell—it just feels… worthwhile. It feels like the right thing to do. So I need to do it while I can. At some point they're going to decide I'm not that interesting. That's inevitable.
At some point you get to go on vacation.
Yes, and I will be very depressed about it.
Do Americans have an exaggerated sense of danger about the Third World?
Oh, yeah. But Americans have an exaggerated sense of danger about New York City. I'm also not a good person to ask, because my sense of what's dangerous is completely warped. People have stopped asking me for advice, because I encourage people to go anywhere. It really pissed me off, two summers ago, during the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, when Depeche Mode canceled their concert in Tel Aviv. For security reasons! I don't understand why more artists don't go and entertain the troops. I mean, hasn't Jessica Simpson been over there? I saw this documentary on Marlene Dietrich, and during World War II she was going out, right to the front lines. I think she was having sex with a lot of the troops, too. I'm not saying artists should do that. But she took supporting the troops to a level that few have since.
Take that, Hitler.
You're like Seamus Murphy, a war photographer I work with a lot. He was choosing a vacation spot to take his girlfriend, and he said to me, seriously, "Kabul."
I get that. There's a couple of nice little hotels there. I don't think going to places where there are kidnapping threats is wise. Kidnapping freaks me out. Bullets and mortars are horrific, obviously, but there's a randomness you can account for. Kidnapping? Being kept in a hole for seven years, chained to a radiator like Terry Anderson was? I can't imagine.
I had some bad times in Colombia, which is well known for its kidnapping.
That's my next vacation spot.
You're kidding.
No, I'm not. I heard it's OK now. So that's on my list of places I really want to go.
Columbus Circle is engulfed in a virtual whiteout. Our plates are cleared away by a waiter who is careful not to stare.
Give me a tip. I'm going to Burma for Outside, and I don't know it.
I've only been to rebel-controlled parts. I got in through a contact in Mae Sot, the border smuggling town in Thailand.
That's one of my favorite things, making contact with the guerrillas. Do you tell people how you do that? I'm always ashamed, because it's sort of easier than it looks. You just meet the guy who introduces you to the guy who introduces you to the guy.
I know. You want to cloud it in mystery to make it more impressive. People imagine it's like the bar in Star Wars. I once had to wait a week in a Belfast hotel for the IRA to contact me. It was a lovely hotel, and it felt very clandestine.
Did you have any role models for this kind of adventurous life?
Besides Outside?
Honestly, no.
Good answer.
It seemed so unlike anything that anybody had ever recommended to me. I'd always been interested in military stuff. I collected toy soldiers. British colonial wars. I was obsessed with the Zulu wars. Three years ago—this is going to sound really geeky—I went to the Zulu battlefields, Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift. I'm so glad I went. I forget what the question was.
That is the question. Where does excitement about the world come from?
I was interested in obscure wars that nobody cared about, just as now I'm interested in obscure stories that people aren't telling. There is something in the fact that people in these places are experiencing oftentimes horrific things, and nobody knows of their struggle. I find that particularly galling, or upsetting. At the very least I think people should go there, at least through television.
Do you ever have trouble coming back to New York?
Yeah. It's very strange coming back. Now I'm used to the dichotomy of it. But it was really hard in the beginning. When I first started going to Sarajevo in '93, '94, the height of the war there, coming back I kept trying to picture how New York would fare if the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island were full of Serbs lobbing shells into Manhattan. It doesn't take long for everything to break down. It doesn't take long for people to change, for one's heart to harden and for the dark stuff which is in all of us to come to the fore. Once the electricity goes out, and the lights go out, and the air-conditioning stops working, or you get really cold, it doesn't take long until you start killing one another. I would always wonder, like, in New York how would that play out?
Did you get bitter about life here?
Not bitter, just more confused. It made it harder to fit in. I stopped going to parties. I remember coming back from Rwanda during the genocide, and going directly to a dinner party and not being able to converse with anyone. I just had nothing to say. I remember being very negative: They were talking about stupid stuff. But you can't exist like that forever. You have to come to some sort of understanding in your own head.
What's the understanding?
It's just that all of this is contained in the same world and probably always will be, and that it's OK. It is the way it is. You can knock your head against the wall asking why something has happened. At a certain point you get to a place where there isn't any why. You just stop asking the why. And even in the midst of horror and sadness, there are great acts of compassion and kindness, there are acts of great joy, there is life… I do think television can change things, make some things better, and not in a grand "save the world" kind of way. But you can tell stories that change the world. It's the only thing I know how to do, frankly.
You sound almost optimistic.
Yeah, I am. There's no reason not to be. It's a privilege to go to these places, to walk into someone's home, turn your camera on, and tell their story, and to be trusted with that. It's not my job to be optimistic or pessimistic; it's my job to be there. How could I not go there, how could I not do that? Shame on me if I didn't.

We're really proud of our history and our reputation. We have worked hard to grow and nurture this from the very first day that Colin Batt started the Company back in 1978. We have grown a lot since those early days but the Removals Firm is still family owned by Simon Batt and now covers house removals, piano moves, storage and document archive. In fact, we have a new and expanded store on Maidstone Road in Ashford, Kent.
If you missed the article or didn't get a copy of the Kentish Express here is a copy of the great editorial.
The Removals Firm that knows Reputation is Key
By Aiden Barlow abarlow@thekmgroup.co.uk @aidanbarlowKM
An RAF Typhoon fighter pilot turned businessman says business is booming after his removals firm completed the purchase of new premises.
Simon Batt, 39, took over Colin Batt Removals from his father just over three years ago alongside childhood friend Andrew Urquhart.
As a Royal Air Force pilot and father of one he is keeping alive the family business that his father started in Challock in 1978.
The company originally prided itself on being one of the best at moving musical instruments such as pianos and has even carried out work for the Royal Household and moved Beethoven's piano across Europe.
But now Mr Batt says things are really moving after he took over the Move-It Storage Warehouse in Maidstone Road off the A20.
He said: "We have pretty much doubled our workforce and completed our move to the new location. So we're really pleased with the progress, especially given the growth of the business even when the economy has been fairly stagnant.
"My father started the business, but my passion while I was growing up was always for flying. I met Andrew in the RAF Air Cadets as youngsters and we've been friends ever since.
"We thought it would be a good idea to work together here with him managing the business day to day while I finish my career in the RAF.
"We're very lucky that my father built such a great company with a great reputation. He started it as a piano-moving business on his own with a van.
"It included for the Spencer family and later for Royals including Prince Charles."
He said the business grew such a big reputation that musical performers like Duran Duran and Elton John also used the company's services.
But the greatest honour was perhaps moving Beethoven's famous piano from a museum in Hungary to tour Europe.
Mr Batt said: "It is insured for about £7 million, but it is 175 years old so it is really priceless.
"Moving it was a fantastic accolade for the business and we're all really proud of it."
His friend Andrew had left the Air Training Corps to pursue a golfing career.
He said: "I came on board to help push the company forward, so when we took over the Move-It site it presented a big opportunity and we had to grab it with both hands."

I want records in A that were updated after a certain date but also includes other records(if not already present, otherwise return latest date) that match a date condition from another table B.
if only table A:
select id,
       param_1,
       param_2,
       dateUpdated
from A
where status = 'Active'
and dateUpdated between @someDate and @someAnotherDate

Now with join:
select distinct  A.id,
                 A.param_1,
                 A.param_2,
                 A.dateUpdated -- or B.dateModified, whichever is latest if that's even possible
from A
join B on B.a_id = A.id
where A.status = 'Active'
and ((A.dateUpdated between @someDate and @someAnotherDate) || (B.dateModified between @someDate and @someAnotherDate))

So from the above, say for someDate = '2018-10-01' and someAnotherDate = '2018-10-04' I would have result:
id,  param_1   param_2    dateUpdated
------------------------------------
1    valuea   valueb      2018-10-02
3    valuee   valuef      2018-10-04
4    valueg   valueh      2018-10-01

A: use left join and case expression for getting latest date
select distinct  A.id,
                 A.param_1,
                 A.param_2,
                 case when A.dateUpdated > B.dateUpdated
                 then A.dateUpdated else B.dateUpdated end

from A
left join B on B.a_id = A.id
where A.status = 'Active'
and ((A.dateUpdated between @someDate and @someAnotherDate)
    OR (B.dateModified between @someDate and @someAnotherDate))

A: From B you want the maximum date in the given range per a_id. Outer join this result to A and use CASE WHEN to get the newer date.
select
  a.id,
  a.param_1,
  a.param_2,
  a.status,
  case when bmax.max_date > a.dateUpdated then bmax.max_date else a.dateUpdated as updated

D-Day for Law School Deans
Paul Lippe has posted an article on the ABA Journal Website concerning how law school deans are reacting and should be reacting to the crisis in legal education. He writes, "For some time we've been saying that the recent 'disengagement' strategy of law schools, aspiring to be uber-departments of American Studies or Political Philosophy while writing law review articles for other law professors, was an unsustainable deviation from the widely understood mission of a professional school. Now that unsustainability is self-evident, the good news is it's an acute enough problem for law schools that most deans are embarking on innovative approaches to address it."
He continues, "applications were down 38 percent over the last two years. While many would like to imagine that's a blip, there's nothing whatsoever to indicate that the trend will reverse itself any time soon, in part because the trend is pervasive, i.e., the 'top' undergraduate students (as conventionally measured) are declining in applications at least as fast as the overall drop, and because applications won't improve until there is at least as much evidence that law is fixing its problems as there has been that we're in a 'crisis.'" "So every dean will have to explain to their central administration how they intend to manage through a significant revenue drop, in the context of what is now widely seen as a 'crisis' for the profession and the legal academy. . . . So every dean, whether they passionately or provisionally believe it, will have to present a plan that shows them embarking on significant change."
Lippe argues, "The broad outlines of schools reform are also clear. A third year that is much more externally oriented (especially if optional), greater effort to produce "useful-ready" . . . lawyers, and a much stronger effort to connect to the profession, especially in-house teams who are driving advances in methodology and productivity, so they can train 21st century lawyers."
After giving examples of programs that have made successful changes, he states, "Awareness of the problem is much more acute than it was four years ago, so it might feel like things are worse, when in fact that dialogue is leading to the very rapid evolution of solutions so the underlying reality is improving. Hopefully we can look forward to a day not too far in the future when the U.S. News criteria for law school rankings start to encompass innovation and educational effectiveness. Personally I believe I will be much more inclined to encourage my kids to go to law school a year or two down the road than I was two years ago."
In sum, "The job of a professional school is to help the profession advance, yet law schools have until now been largely unchanged from what they were 60 years ago, perhaps imagining that the only profession they had to serve was the academy and maybe judges. Just as we wouldn't expect patients or even practicing physicians to take primary responsibility for advancements in medicine, but we expect the medical schools to help lead the way, so we can't expect clients and firms to help law advance without law schools 'in the fight.'"

Jeff's FamilyTreeDNA Story
|In Customer Stories
Jeff's FamilyTreeDNA story…was it the milkman?
Jeff was teased all his life about being the milkman's son since he didn't look like anyone in his family. He couldn't help but wonder if there might be something to it. When he grew up, he decided to find out for himself. So, he and his brother took a DNA test, and Jeff's FamilyTreeDNA story began to reveal some surprises.
Jeff (on the right) and the half-brother he was raised with.
Jeff finds DNA matches
The results confirmed that, while they shared the same biological mother, the brothers did not share the same father. The man who raised Jeff, was not his biological dad. In an effort to find his father, Jeff submitted his DNA to another testing company but without any luck. Then, he decided to upload his results to FamilyTreeDNA, where he instantly matched with a sister and an uncle on his paternal side. When Jeff's half-sister, Julie, first saw his picture online she says he looked "exactly like my father."
Within minutes, the two were corresponding. Jeff soon learned that he actually had two sisters with whom he shared the same birth father. He flew to Southern California to meet them, and the three quickly bonded during their first meeting. Jeff was a dead ringer for their father. Not only that, the three discovered that they'd grown up living just a few miles from each other in their early lives.
Jeff's FamilyTreeDNA story reveals more
The fact that there was an unknown brother didn't surprise Julie. She'd known that her father had given up a child for adoption when his high school girlfriend became pregnant and gave birth. The problem was that Jeff wasn't adopted, and the timing of his birth didn't match, which meant there was still another brother out there. The mystery lasted until last summer, when the daughters of an adoptee named Brandon encouraged him to submit his DNA for testing.
Jeff today.
Blaylock noticed he had a close match with a familiar-looking guy wearing a USC cap. It was Jeff — and the family resemblance was obvious at first glance. The two discovered that not only were they half-brothers, they had attended the same college at the same time, they are both vintage car buffs, and big USC football fans involved in alumni activities.
Jeff (top left) and his new half-siblings
Now, their family is complete, and they plan on making up for lost time. While Jeff has yet to meet his birth father, he is happy to have found his siblings, and is thankful to his dad for the great genes he gave him. In addition to Jeff's FamilyTreeDNA Story, enjoy Jeri's FamilyTreeDNA Story.

Juliet's FamilyTreeDNA Story
Juliet grew up not knowing anything about her heritage. All she knew was that she was Caucasian.

IVINS — A pickup truck was destroyed in a fire in Ivins Sunday afternoon, leaving the vehicle's two occupants shaken but uninjured.
At 2:20 p.m. officers and emergency personnel were dispatched to the fire on 400 South involving a white Chevrolet pickup truck. While they were en route, firefighters were advised by dispatchers of an explosion near the gas tank, causing the fire to spread rapidly.
"We heard about the explosion before we got here, but when I arrived it was fully engulfed," Santa Clara-Ivins Police officer Hope Shumway said, adding that she blocked off the street in the area of the fire as crews tended to the scene.
Firefighters arrived and began an aggressive attack on the fire, which was quickly spreading toward the bed of the pickup truck. While the fire was extinguished within minutes, crews continued dousing the truck in an attempt to reduce the extreme heat produced by the fire. The vehicle had become so hot during the blaze that melted plastic from the light coverings dripped down the front of it.
The passenger of the truck, Tomas Mendoza, told St. George News the driver was "pretty shaken up" as he removed equipment and tools from the bed of the pickup that were still salvageable.
Shumway's and Mendoza's narratives about the fire are included in the video at the top of this report.
Mendoza ran to his mechanic's house several yards away to get two fire extinguishers, he said, explaining that he started spraying the blaze with one of them, but the other one didn't work.
"As soon as we pressed the lever, the top popped off and powder went everywhere," he said of the faulty extinguisher. By then both fire trucks were arriving.
"They jumped out and put that fire out very fast," Mendoza said.
"And these are the remains," Mendoza said as he pointed to the charred metal.
While the truck was deemed a total loss, no injuries were reported.
This report is based on statements from police or other responders and may not contain the full scope of findings.


Amazon has announced that it plans to create its own virtual currency, which it calls "Amazon Coins." Kindle owners will be able to use the coins to make in-app purchases, and developers will be paid in regular American dollars for those purchases.
The program will launch in May in the U.S. only. And Amazon plans to give away millions of dollars' worth of coins in order to get users interested in the program. Mobile development firms who would like to update their Android apps to enable them to accept the new coins have until April 25 to do so.


For anyone that hasn't seen the news yet, the Notre Dame cathedral is currently on fire and within the last few minutes, the 300 foot spire has collapsed. Currently the domed roof is open and spewing flames. The pictures and video online are incredible and horrifying at the same time.
EDIT/UPDATE: Now that the fire is out, the spire has fallen and the wooden roof and interior are gone, but the other towers still stand, and the frame of the church still stands. All the bells survived, as well as the "Crown of Christ" and the old pipe organ, and a lot of Parisian business owners have already pitched in a bunch of money to rebuild. Also, there were zero casualties reported. So, it's still terrible, but not nearly as bad as it could have been.
My wife was texting me the video. Sad to see.
Very sad to see, Survived countless wars, and destroyed now.
Wow, that's upsetting. You hate to see history get destroyed like this.
Glad I got to see it in person when I did. Hopefully, it will be saved and rebuilt.
Gonna be hard to rebuild. If the videos and pictures are any indication, the fire is just tearing through that place.
I am sure it will be. The question is, how much of the original structure will they be able to salvage?
I had the chance to see it in Nov 2017 and I could hear its bells.
Horrible. We were there in 2002, what a beautiful building. I just watched the spire collapse, almost makes me tear up.
I know we have a few people from the US in this forum, to put the historic relevance into some perspective, this cathedral was built in 1163, over 600 years before the formation of the US, that is how much history that is being lost here.
I got to see Notre Dame Cathedral it in person years ago. Kinda wishing we'd been able to take a few more pictures now .. :-(.
It was in the 90s when I saw it........ stationed in Germany and traveled some.
Is there any speculation on the cause yet?
Early thoughts are it is related to the renovations that were underway.
I was there in 2001 and was able to tour it. Such a shame to see this go.
Believe me, we get it over on this side of the pond. Not only a truly historic and beautiful structure, but no doubt centuries of irreplaceable artwork and other artifacts will be lost to the flames. Haven't felt this gut-punched since watching the Twin Towers fall.
Prayers that everyone inside got out safely and likewise for emergency responders.
Always hard to see national treasures get destroyed.
too soon for a college football joke?
fires are horrific. and can be so devastating. haven't heard, but i hope nobody gets hurt/killed in this one. including the firefighters trying to battle it.

'Pockets of effectiveness' have helped countries achieve growth, avoid the resource curse and deliver services. We welcome papers that locate PoEs in their political context, including with reference to wider strategies of state-building and regime survival, and also to transnational influences.
High levels of state capacity have played a critical role in enabling developing countries to achieve progress, as recognized in the emphasis in SDG16 on building institutions that are 'effective' as well as 'inclusive'. However, history suggests that 'developmental states' were not characterized by Weberian civil services and high levels of state capacity across the board, but rather that progress is often driven by small bureaucratic enclaves performing specific functions. Often referred to as 'pockets of bureaucratic effectiveness', PoEs, defined as public organizations that are reasonably effective in carrying out their functions in otherwise dysfunctional governance contexts. PoEs have played essential roles in establishing the conditions for economic growth, avoiding problems associated with the resource curse, delivering services and performing a range of regulatory functions. However, current research into PoEs tends to lack a comparative focus and underplay the centrality of politics in shaping how they emerge and can be sustained, in part by referring to such organisations as 'islands' that are somehow divorced from their wider context. We particularly welcome papers that seek to locate PoEs in their political and political economy context, including with reference to wider strategies of state-building and regime survival, and also to transnational influences.

For some reasons, the United Nations and the international humanitarian community have been unable to exert pressure on the United States, Saudi Arabia and their junior partners to change course in the ongoing war of aggression against Yemen.
1- The Trump White House has made it clear that it wants to derail the 2015 nuclear deal in pursuit of a still a more belligerent approach towards Iran and its allies. Hence, they continue the Yemen war after allegations about (non-existent) Iranian threats. It's even more disturbing to see war-party Washington endorse more weapons sales to Riyadh and build more illegal military bases in Syria that will only exacerbate the US-supported starvation of millions of civilians in Yemen, and prolong the devastating regime-change war in Syria.
2- Three years into the 2015 Saudi-led invasion, untold thousands are dead. Northern Yemen has been through the worst cholera outbreak in human history, and civilians continue to die in bunches from US-backed, Saudi airstrikes. Yemen is in a disastrous state, with a US-Saudi naval blockade threatening to starve millions. If there is one thing Yemen has no shortage of, however, it's weapons, with the US ensuring a massive supply continues to pour into the hands of Saudi and Emirati forces.
3- Thanks to the unnecessary conflict, US arms sales are themselves at a record high, in no small part because of purchases by the UAE, and particularly by the Saudis, who are dropping US bombs on northern Yemen as fast as they can buy them. And while bombs and warplanes are the big dollar amount of sales, they also include large numbers of US-made automatic rifles and small arms ammunition. Saudi Arabia and the UAE buy these small arms, both for their own direct involvement in Yemen, and for arming their allied militant factions on the ground.
4- The US sends weaponry into Yemen that is not well-documented and carefully tracked. The Pentagon regime has confirmed they can't account for the weapons that they give to the Saudis. The Saudi and UAE-bought small arms are not just being sent to Yemen either. Rather, they are also being sent to Syria to be in the hands of their allied militant factions on the ground.
5- Despite some diplomatic games at the US Congress, the conflict won't end any time soon. US arms sales are ensuring that the Saudi and coalition warplanes never run out of bombs to drop, despite those airstrikes accomplishing nothing but killing more and more civilians in the north. Report after report by the UN faults the Saudis for soaring civilian deaths, and particularly the deaths of children, saying that the efforts to prevent harm to civilians remain largely ineffective. The strikes continue to increase indiscriminately, and the Security Council is not doing anything about it.
In a nutshell, US arms sales to Saudi Arabia are a major driving force in allowing them to continue the war. Saudis use US planes and bombs, and are refueled by the US Air Force during this criminal campaign. US culpability in this humanitarian disaster and war crimes should fuel growing concern at the UN.
As much ink as has been spilled about the morass the Americans and the Saudis have stumbled into in Yemen, this war of aggression has nothing to do with trying to intensify efforts to counter Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, much less by Saudi Arabia and the UAE to take seriously their fears about spreading Iranian influence in the region. The escalation of the conflict and the Iran bashing are only designed to increase US weapons sales and justify permanent US military presence in the Persian Gulf.
That perfectly sums up the argument as to why no one in the Trump White House seems able to answer whether or not they want to distance themselves from a war that is causing so much human suffering. The US government, the Pentagon regime, and the Military-Industrial Complex are reaping the fruits of the three-year war. This should be more than enough for them to earn the enmity of the human-rights community and members of the UN concerned about growing civilian casualties.

Erinnerung an ein Ballerlebnis ist ein Orchesterwerk von Hans Bund mit der Länge von etwa sieben Minuten, das 1939 uraufgeführt wurde und oft als Beispiel für die musikalische Gattung der Gehobenen Unterhaltungsmusik genannt wird.

Das Werk mit dem Untertitel "Tänzerische Skizze" ist ein Charakterstück, wie es bei Instrumentalmusik dieser Art häufig war. Das "Ballerlebnis" war ein aufregender Begriff und stand für erotische Erinnerungen und Erwartungen. Das Stück gehörte zu den beliebtesten seiner Gattung und wurde bis in die 1960er-Jahre und darüber hinaus überaus häufig von Rundfunkorchestern oder beim Kurkonzert gespielt. Es ist in unzähligen Einspielungen vorhanden. Weder wurde es als Jazzstück von den Nationalsozialisten beanstandet, noch konnten ihm die Umstände seiner Entstehung nach 1945 schaden.

Der Mittelteil nach einer lebhaften Introduktion ist ein Blues (angegeben als Tempo di Blues) mit einer pathetischen Steigerung, auf den eine Coda mit Motiven aus der Introduktion folgt. Der Blues wurde in moderneren Arrangements wie von Paul Würges als "Lost Melody" interpretiert.

Besetzung

Wie in dieser Gattung üblich, konnte man dasselbe Werk mit denselben Orchesterstimmen sowohl mit einem großen Sinfonieorchester oder sinfonischen Blasorchester als auch mit einem kleinen Salonorchester ausführen. Die zweiten und ev. dritten Bläserstimmen konnten fortgelassen werden, ohne dass das Arrangement unvollständig klang.

Weit verbreitet (durch den Kawi-Verlag Berlin) war ein Stimmensatz mit den Stimmen der 1. Flöte, der 1. Oboe, zwei Klarinetten, zwei Trompeten, 1. Posaune, Schlagzeug, Klavier, Harmonium, Streicher (mit Violine obligat). Die Klavierstimme und die Stimme der 1. Violine sind als Direktionsstimmen eingerichtet, um größere Ensembles von diesen Instrumenten aus dirigieren zu können. Partitur oder Klavierauszug waren daher nicht nötig. Die Harmoniumstimme diente bei kleineren Besetzungen dazu, die fehlenden Bläserstimmen auszugleichen.

In den Stichnoten finden sich Hinweise auf weitere Instrumente, die zu größeren Besetzungen gehören, wie etwa Saxophone. Eine Ausführung nur mit Streichern oder etwa nur mit zwei Bläsern und Klavier wäre ebenfalls denkbar. In diesem Fall müssten die 1. Violine oder das Klavier mit Stichnoten angegebene zusätzliche Töne spielen.

Is overimmigration in the U.S. morally defensible?
By Ben Zuckerman and Stuart H. Hurlbert, 2001
SUSPS Home Overview What You Can Do History Democracy Misc
The San Diego Union Tribune (B7), August 3, 2001
President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox are now at the poker table deciding how many persons from Mexico currently residing illegally in the United States will be given amnesty this year, a first step in Fox's plan for an open border between the two countries. Not to be left behind, Senate Majority Leader Thomas Daschle has raised the stakes and proposed amnesty for all illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, we read the latest Census Bureau figures showing a U.S. population increase of 33 million during the 1990s, which exceeded the bureau's projections by 6 million persons and is the largest decadal jump in U.S. history. The Census Bureau now projects that, by the end of the century, U.S. population might exceed 1 billion, even in the absence of an open border with Mexico. Most of these 1 billion will be immigrants yet to arrive and their descendants.
President Fox is one of numerous powerful persons and groups lobbying for continued and even increased high levels of immigration to the United States. Two such groups are (1) the Democratic Party which believes, probably correctly, that a majority of immigrants will vote Democratic and (2) some Republican business interests who understand that massive immigration depresses wages and provides additional consumers of products and services.
Today, we would like to speak on behalf of three multitudinous, but "voiceless" groups in America who are harmed by massive immigration.
The first group is the poorest segment of the U.S. population. Independent studies by the Rand Corporation, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Center for Immigration Studies all show that today's policy of overimmigration negatively impacts the economic well-being of the poorest Americans. A summary discussion by James Goldsborough appears in the September/October 2000 issue of Foreign Affairs. Needless to say, poor Americans are not the people who set our immigration policies.
In addition to the strictly economic considerations, overimmigration has had disastrous consequences for the quality of education available to poor inner-city Americans. No wonder that poll after poll shows that a strong majority of poor Americans want to see immigration levels reduced.
The second voiceless group consists of indigenous non-human species. The Nature Conservancy's comprehensive new book "Precious Heritage" -- foreword by Harvard conservation biologist E. O. Wilson -- depicts the high correlation between U.S. endangered species and areas with rapid, immigration-driven, population growth, including California, the Southwest and Florida. It is not hard to see exploding human populations eating up land that indigenous species have lived on for countless millennia.
This is quantified in a recent analysis by environmental/resource planner Leon Kolankiewicz and public policy analyst Roy Beck, titled "Weighing Sprawl Factors in Large U.S. Cities." This report, and two others devoted specifically to California and to Florida, show dramatically that massive human sprawl in the Southwest and Florida is due not to poor urban planning, but rather almost entirely to rapid population growth.
The connection to immigration? Here in California, for example, analysis of our state government and U.S. Census Bureau statistics indicates that about 90 percent of California's population growth during the 1990s was due to immigrants and their children.
The third voiceless group is people and other creatures not yet born who have no control over decisions being made today. An excellent analogy is China. In the 1950s and 1960s the Chinese government encouraged high fertility which peaked at 6.5 children per woman in the mid-1960s. This irresponsible policy caused China's population to surpass 1 billion by 1980.
One consequence is the Draconian one-child-per-woman policy instituted around 1980. Thus, present and future generations of Chinese families are paying the price for previous shortsighted government policies. Rapid population growth cannot be turned off like a faucet and the Chinese population is projected to continue growing for at least another 30 years, at which point it will be about 1.5 billion, in spite of the present harsh fertility policies.
Current immigration policies are propelling the United States to a 22nd century population of over a billion. This will leave Americans then in the same nasty situation as the Chinese are in now. High fertility or overimmigration, the outcome -- too many people -- is all the same.

On this episode I'm chatting with my friend Lewis Howes. He's one of the top podcasters, and New York Time's Best Selling author, and an incredible leader in the online business space. We are talking about how he leveraged a career ending injury and uses the lessons he learned in sports to grow personally and professionally every day.
Such a great podcast interview. Full of such great insight. I will definitely be listening to it again.


Andy Murray believes his Wimbledon final defeat is the "perfect motivation" in his quest for gold at London 2012 as he brought the Olympic Flame to Centre Court.
The tennis ace carried the torch on to the hallowed turf of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, just over a fortnight after his defeat to Roger Federer. But the Scot said preparations for the Games had left little time to dwell on his heartbreaking loss to the world number one.
Murray said: "You don't look back, you try and look forward. I've had some good practices the last 10 days or so. I've trained hard and after Wimbledon it's perfect motivation to get ready for an event like this. I'm sure the atmosphere is going to be great and I'll need all the support I can get."
After stepping off court with the flame, Murray carried it through the Wimbledon grounds before handing the torch to triple Olympic gold medallist Venus Williams at "Henman Hill".
He added: "It was great. I'd obviously seen the last few days on the news as the torch arrived into London. It's been a great atmosphere across the whole city so to get the chance to do that is incredible."
Wimbledon is the venue for London 2012's tennis tournament.
Murray was one of 187 torchbearers to carry the flame 36.88 miles through the London boroughs of Lewisham, Bromley, Croydon, Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth on Monday.
The torch is on the final week of its journey to the Olympic Park, with the opening ceremony on Friday. Its circuit of the capital sees it pass through each of the city's 33 local authority areas.

Instrumentation to characterize composite material network-matrix preform properties which effect their behavior during heated consolidation is available. Miniature automated devices provide input data for process simulation models which account for thermodynamic, phase change, convective, and micro-mechanical consolidation mechanisms. Time-based spatial bond strength mappings may be generated in diverse manufacturing situations by using ABES-derived data driven by predicted thermal data. Material properties and the dependent variables measurable with the instrumentation are shown below, along with its functional concept.
Specialized test methods and process simulation strategies for diverse composite material and engineering component synthesis can be undertaken on a contract-basis.


Updated: On March 18, we hosted a webinar discussing the report. See a video of the webinar below.
EMSI has just released a new guidebook, Contextualizing Real-Time and Traditional Labor Market Data. In the report, we discuss how to gain crucial context by harmonizing job postings (which measure the intentions of some firms) with traditional labor market information (which measures the actions of all firms) and connecting both of them with hiring data.
Below is a video recording of the webinar we hosted on March 18. You can also view the PowerPoint slides via our SlideShare account.
Note: Some of the slides in the video don't match perfectly with the audio.

Allow suggestions to be submitted by anyone, on any subject, in any medium, atany time. Provide forms to people who want to use them, but don't reject ideas submitted in other ways. The first step in distancing yourself from ideas is requiring people to package them in a certain way.
Ideas with the potential for good results should be studied for feasibility.The person charged with this task should also be prepared to implement the idea and measure the results, or compile a report explaining why the idea isn't feasible.
Acknowledge every idea. Keep the contributor informed of its status. Implementing suggestions sends a positive message.
Make it clear that you welcome ideas that might not work and that you don't require employees to consider implementation issues before they make suggestions.
Reward those who make successful suggestions both financially (a generous share of the resulting savings or increased profits) and with verbal recognition. If you have a specific problem you'd like input on, consider scheduling a problem-solving session that's open to everyone. Announce thatyou'll be addressing a particular issue at a specific time and place, and anyone who has input is welcome to attend.
Finally, give your suggestion programme time to work. Staff have probably been conditioned all their lives to not make suggestions, so it may take a while to see results.
