Q: Jquery dynamically populating a select option tab I am trying to achieve something like this,
<select id="time" size="1" name="Time" disabled="disabled">
    <% foreach (string item in (List<string>)Model.OpenCloseTime[dynamicVariable].AppointmentTimes)
        {%>
            <option id="<%:item%>" value="<%:item%>">
            <%:item%></option>
        <%}
    %>
</select>

Where dynamicVariable= $('#date').datepicker("getDate");
To break down the issue, getDate is supposed to fetch the value of the weekday from a calendar which needs to help me dynamically populate a select dropdown, based on the data we are getting from the model object day value.
How could I achieve this?
Thanks for the help.

A: I'm not sure what dynamicVariable looks like, but here's how you can populate #time with a Javascript array:
var times = ["Morning", "Afternoon", "Evening"];
for(i in times) {
    $("#time").append(
        $("<option></option>").attr("value", times[i]).text(times[i])
    );
}

Edit to answer your comment:
Concatenate your list:
List<string> items = (List<string>)Model.OpenCloseTime[dynamicVariable].AppointmentTimes;
string itemsStr = string.Join(",", items.toArray());

Print it in your javascript:
var items = "<%:itemStr%>";

Explode the string into a Javascript array:
var items_arr = items.split(",");

Use what I posted above to make the select box:
for(i in items_arr) {
    $("#time").append(
        $("<option></option>").attr("value", items_arr[i]).text(items_arr[i])
    );
}

A: Here is and example of populating a select list using jQuery:
function setCategory(categoryList)
{
    var options = '<option value="Select by Category">Select by Category</option>';
    for (var i = 0; i < categoryList.length; i++)
    {
        options += '<option value="' + categoryList[i] + '">' + categoryList[i] + '</option>';
    };
    $("#categorySelect").html(options);
};

Note, THIS also sets a default text using the first line, which may not be a desire here.

Q: how to update colleda file vertiex in a-frame below code can update the color to colleda model but how we manage the vertices dimensions and update to model......for ex we put the dimension in any file(.js etc) and than access into a-frame work below method and put x,y,z values
function update_hair_style(verticesdimensionarray){
 alert("update hair")
    var model = document.querySelector('#hairmodel');
    <!-- console.log(model); -->
    var mesh =  model.getObject3D('mesh');
      <!-- console.log(mesh) -->
      mesh.traverse(function(o) {
       <!-- console.log(o) -->
        <!-- console.log("-------------------------------------------------"); -->
       if (o instanceof THREE.Mesh) {
            console.log(o.geometry.vertices)
            //o.material.color = {  r: r, g: g, b: b };
        }else{
            <!-- console.log("ELSE");    -->
        }
    });
}

A: You can just edit the vertices directly, using the o.geometry.vertices that you mention. After editing vertices, you'll need to set o.geometry.verticesNeedUpdate = true;.
If that's not what you're looking for, could you expand your answer to explain specifically what you mean by "manage the vertices dimensions", or what's not working from your included code?


In years gone by, alcohol was readily acceptable in the workplace. The idea of popping to the pub for lunch or a quick drink before starting a shift was not only allowed but often encouraged. Even in potentially dangerous environments people would often drink alongside their normal working day. Fortunately that culture has now changed and most companies have strict rules about consuming alcohol during and prior to the working day.
According to a quote from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), the alcohol may account for as many as a twentieth of all incidences of work absenteeism in the united kingdom. A fair percentage of the absenteeism results from those with no type of dependence who move out on the strange bender and feel so sick the next day that they are made to take the day off work. But this estimate doesn't incorporate the effect of people who turn up for work somewhat late as they're the worse for drink, or that come to function in a country that precludes them from making any helpful contribution.
Since alcohol can impact people's muscle function, endurance and ability to focus, anybody who gets drunk actually needs to provide themselves 48 hours to permit their body tissue adequate time to recuperate to allow to perform at their optimal.
If a person drinks two pints of normal strength beer or half a bottle of wine at lunchtime, they will still have alcohol in their blood three hours afterwards, since the body is just able to rid itself of half a pint of ordinary strength beer, or its equal, each hour in the event of a guy and each hour and a half in the event of a female. Even people who remain up drinking late night at the evening before might pose a substantial safety threat as they come to work the following morning.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act  Companies have a general duty to ensure the health, welfare and safety of the workers. Whilst drink issues at work may be hard to handle a very clear and well communicated alcohol coverage is vital for both companies and workers. The coverage has to be regarded as helpful instead of punitive and attention must also be given to the true degree of service that the corporation is going to provide to people who volunteer drink issues. The crucial thing is to refer those having issues to appropriately qualified professionals and some other flaws can make the issue worse as people with drink problems raise their alcohol consumption over time to make the identical effect.
There are so many treatments available now that people shouldn't need to struggle with alcohol dependency on their own. Most doctors are very knowledgeable about the subject and can usually prescribe all sorts of treatments. One of the newer, more innovative treatments includes using a drug called Selincro – read about it here, which stops the pleasurable sensations caused by alcohol. This is incredibly effective in reducing alcohol consumption in people who have issues without requiring complete abstinence. You can buy it in most developed countries now, usually by prescription.
The fantastic thing is that those in restoration make great workers, actually experts concur that individuals who overcome beverage problems will probably be invaluable assets into the workforce since they'll be thankful to maintain healing and keen to prove themselves.
The fact is sustainability matters even on a commercial level, no company will grow by ignoring an issue which is so important to brand and reputation. While corporate sustainability isn't a new idea, companies often don't apply sustainability principles in the heart of organization, rather deciding to utilize them as a peripheral plan for better competitive edge, market placement or pure reputation-building.
To establish sustainability as only "green" or "social responsibility" from the corporate context would be to deprive it of its capability to drive economic price and social shift. Sustainability has to be joined to the conscience of the organization, but just as importantly, it ought to be regarded as a stage for increased business growth and innovation. It has to become so much a part of a organization's material it's perceived as an important part of core business operations.
Weaving sustainability into the material of any business, particularly a worldwide one, requires shift of outlook, renewed dedication and overarching dedication to the fundamentals of sustainability. To fulfill these obligations, any business that's serious about sustainability needs to embrace a culture of constant improvement. These goals are documented in many places, check the BBC website for some useful guidelines, you may need a BBC proxy like this to access.
Since that time, Dow has met or exceeded the majority of these targets and continues to try to improve upon all these.
These 2015 Sustainability Goals focus on campaigns outside Dow's own walls, committing Dow to making stronger connections within the communities where it operates, enhancing product stewardship and accelerating invention to fix a number of the planet's most pressing issues and decreasing its worldwide footprint.
As an immediate consequence of the attempt to attain these targets, Dow became the first chemical business to deserve the Robert W. Campbell Award in the National Safety Council. The award recognizes businesses that preserve environmental, safety and health as a vital business value and certainly link measurable accomplishment in EHS performance to profitability and productivity. Again covered, in many environmental pieces to be found on traditional media or TV such as the BBC here.
Corporations planning to advance their enterprise-level sustainability commitments should first understand and admit what sustainability can achieve from a business value perspective, how it can revolutionize invention pipelines and the chances for unprecedented collaborations via corporate-driven sustainability initiatives.
To have the ability to earn the case for sustainability, it's crucial for corporate executives to comprehend that the ability of sustainability for a business's growth and development. Moving past corporate social responsibility or ecological consciences, businesses must realize that finding creative solutions that enhance bottom line performance while improving value to society should, in actuality, function as the new company model. True incorporation of Business sustainability means watching it as an essential part of company, company culture and clinics.
And, since consumer demand for renewable products continues to rise exponentially, businesses increasingly are reacting by funneling funding and investment in research and development for sustainable products.
Among the most obvious mega tendencies, which can be indicative of future market opportunity, is that the accelerating investment and increase of renewable energy options and green technologies.
For many pupils, their out-of-school plans are their lifelines. They're the areas where our kids are assisted to prosper academically, emotionally and socially. The actions there reinforce basic skills, raise higher-order warn and thinking about the risks of substance abuse and violence, while encouraging respect and appreciation for diversity.
A meta-analysis of after-school programs developed to improve youths' personal and social abilities. This revealed that young men and women who engage improve significantly in several big regions: attitudes and suspicions, indicators of behavioral modification and school performance. Additional these after-school applications reduced problem behaviours (i.e. aggression, noncompliance and behaviour issues) and medication usage.
In addition young people gain access and information about these programs from different places than adults expect. For example the internet and social media is a prime resource, including online media from places like TV. Many are versed in bypassing geoblocks so can use a BBC VPN for example to access documentaries and shows on UK TV.
To the degree to which pupils reside in environments in which their schools aren't safe, engaging areas but rather are full of youth and adults that are at odds with each other at a climate of capitalism, they are not as inclined to develop the types of skills required for noise social-emotional growth. Under these conditions, their encounters in out-of-school programs can be particularly vital in supplying not just skill-building encounters but encouragement for the tendency to construct and utilize those abilities for constructive purposes.
We cannot expect a young man to be successful in algebra when (s)he is only learning how to add and subtract, and likewise, we can't expect a person to show empathy toward peers if he or she hasn't yet learned how to identify and articulate various types of emotion. Out-of-school program engagement is more likely to result from the desired student outcomes if attention is paid to the growth of social-emotional competence.
Be a part of a group: discuss, listen, and take turns, cooperate, negotiate disputes, be considerate and helpful.
Recognize and properly tag basic emotions in others and oneself.
Normally resolve conflict without fighting; reveal capability for compromise.
Be empathetic toward peers: demonstrate emotional distress when others are enduring; develop a feeling of helping instead of hurting or failing; respect instead of belittle, and encourage and protect others instead of control; awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences of others (i.e., perspective taking). In this period of mental growth, students have a tendency to derive safety in repetition and patterns. Because of this, consistent educational procedures are helpful when dealing with this age group. During their first 3 decades of basic education, pupils are frequently self-confident and anticipating; they think they're important, their requirements and dreams issue, they can triumph; and they can trust adults at college and school-related surroundings.

Carnavas by Silversun Pickups
Abusing sleep aids to visit dead friends? Par for the course for Carnavas , the 2006 debut full-length from Silver Lake's Silversun Pickups, and an album I was once very obsessed with. Making the macabre sound peaceful has been the band's M.O. since "Kissing Families", but whatever potential their debut EP Pikul showed, Carnavas capitalizes on. I can't say enough good things about it. If you like clouds of feedback, heavy backbeats, hyperactive basslines, Darren Waterston paintings, cobwebs, and vocals that sound as female as male, you need to hear this record.
The aforementioned "Melatonin" is a perfect introduction, laying out a bed of decaying guitar fuzz for Brian Aubert (guitar, singer) and Nikki Monninger (bass, sometimes-singer) to harmonize over. Really, most of the album's highlights are in her presence; her self-conscious vocal on "Little Lover's So Polite" is enough to slow the lava flow guitars and angular drums, and her bass carries "Three Seed", the album's (inner) peace treaty. Other highlights: the hailstorm of delay on "Lazy Eye", the skipping guitars on "Checkered Floor", the desolation on "Rusted Wheel", the "what is that time signature" on "Waste it On" (I adore that snare sound). At an hour long, there's a lot to get lost in. Pop a tablet and say hi.
Essential: "Checkered Floor", "Little Lover's So Polite", "Three Seed"

A Woman Under the Influence is een Amerikaanse film uit 1974 van regisseur John Cassavetes.

Verhaal
Mabel Longhetti (Gena Rowlands) is getrouwd met bouwvakker Nick (Peter Falk) en moeder van drie kinderen. Hoewel ze van elkaar houden lijdt hun huwelijk onder haar instabiel gedrag, zijn afstandelijkheid en hun onvermogen met elkaar te communiceren. Na een inzinking belandt Mabel in een psychiatrische inrichting. Na terugkomst blijkt ze nog even emotioneel ontspoord als voorheen.

Achtergrond
Aanvankelijk was Cassavetes van plan het script als toneelstuk op te voeren, maar aangezien het Rowlands te uitputtend leek de rol van Mabel herhaaldelijk te spelen, koos hij voor film.

Cassavetes wist na voltooiing van de film in eerste instantie geen distributiemaatschappij te interesseren. Pas op aandringen van mederegisseur Martin Scorsese werd de prent vertoond in bioscopen.

In 1990 werd de film vanwege zijn culturele betekenis geselecteerd voor de National Film Registry.

Onderscheidingen
Gena Rowlands kreeg voor haar rol een Golden Globe. Bovendien werd de film genomineerd voor twee Academy Awards voor Beste Actrice en Beste Regisseur.

A group of scientists said: Many of the bacteria that infect the stomach and intestines have a great ability to produce energy and generate electricity. According to the Independent, scientists at the University of California, in a recent study, confirmed that lysteria, found in some foods and causing lestriosis, may help produce energy under certain environmental conditions such as hypoxia. According to scientists, if these bacteria grow in a vial with electrodes, they produce a measurable electric current. The scientists said they were looking at ways to refine the bacteria and use them to generate electricity at waste treatment plants or to supply small electronic devices with energy.
In addition, scientists have found that clostridium bacteria, which cause many symptoms such as food poisoning and gangrene, may also be able to generate energy and make electrical sparks. The team also found these characteristics in beneficial bacteria, such as lactobacillus bacteria, which are used in many dairy products, notably yoghurt and some types of cheese. "In fact, there are many microbes that interact with humans, either as pathogens, or in probiotics," he said. "In fact, there are many microbes that interact with humans, either as food supplements from living bacteria," or as electrophysiological bacteria producing electricity. Not noticed before.

The Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) ensures water is used lawfully and that all communities, and the environment get a fair share. Water is for everyone.
Established under the Natural Resources Access Regulator Act 2017 (NRAR Act), we were created to deliver effective, transparent and accountable enforcement of the laws. NRAR also works to maintain public confidence in the enforcement of those laws.
We have an independent board which is appointed by, and reports to, the Minister for Water, but we are an independent water regulator. Any directions by the Minister must be made according to the provisions of the NRAR Act and must be published on the department's website.
NRAR is an independent water regulator which oversees the enforcement of water management laws in NSW. We also engage with water users, industry bodies, government departments and the wider community on matters relating to compliance.
Before NRAR, the likelihood of being caught and facing the consequences of breaking the water rules in NSW was low. Rules were often broken. Communities and the environment weren't getting a fair share. The public had lost faith in the willingness and ability of the Government to ensure water was shared fairly and something needed to be done.
Our establishment in 2018 turned things around. Our primary function is to investigate alleged breaches of water law and issue directions and penalties where appropriate when water users have not complied with water laws. We also provide education and guidance to water users to encourage voluntary compliance, and manage certain types of water licences.
We have officers on the ground across NSW and use technology including state-of-the-art satellite imagery, drones, motion-activated surveillance cameras and intelligent data to monitor unlawful water take. Our technology allows us to be anywhere in the state at any time, with the click of a button.
We regularly meet with water users and industry bodies to keep them informed about our activities and help them understand their obligations under the water laws. We also provide a range of educational materials to help water users understand their responsibilities under the law.
We publish our regulatory priorities to show how and where we focus our efforts to ensure our water laws are followed.

There's already a strange story behind comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák, or just 41P: It took almost 100 years to identify and occasionally flares. And now, its spin is rapidly slowing down.
Scientists across the world observed 41P when it approached Earth in 2017—it was close enough and bright enough to see with binoculars. One team of scientists, from the University of Maryland, watched the comet's rotation rate drop rapidly, from one rotation every 20 hours to one every 46 hours. This is larger than any change in comet rotation measured yet, and it could help scientists learn more about how comets evolve over time.
But comets aren't planets. Gas streaming off of these rocks produces torque, or a rotational force. Think about popping a hole in a balloon tied to a fan blade—it could make the fan speed up or slow down. Torque that induces a spin speedup can cause the comet to fall apart, but slowdowns can cause the entire comet to change its spinning direction. Imagine if one day, the Earth started rotating with a different axis; entire seasons would be different, there would be more or less sunlight depending on where you lived—things would be weird.
The researchers used telescopes at Lowell Observatory in Arizona and a telescope on the Swift satellite to watch the comet and its stream of gas. The extreme slowdown could have been due to an outgassing in a sort-of sweet spot, like hitting a tether-ball in the exact right place to slow down its spin. Their modeling also predicted that the comet could have slowed down by yet another factor of two, to a period of 100 hours, and would have been much faster during earlier appearances near Earth. They published their research in Nature today.

Evaluating external models
==========================

The goal of Alpenglow is to evaluate models in an on-line recommendation setting. This is primarily done through implementing the models in either C++ or Python and running them within Alpenglow experiments. However, there's also a builtin way to evaluate external models as periodically trained models in the same setting. This works by preparing an experiment that writes training files to disk, running the external model to train on these and predict toplists for given users, then run another experiment that reads these toplists back and provides them as predictions.

This logic is implemented thorugh :py:class:`alpenglow.experiments.ExternalModelExperiment`. Below is an example of an experiment that prepares the training data:

.. code-block:: python

    exp = ExternalModelExperiment(
        period_length=60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 4,
        out_name_base="batches/batch",
        mode="write"
    )

When run, this experiment creates files such as *batches/batch_1_train.dat* and *batches/batch_1_test.dat*. The first is a CSV containing the training data, the second is a list of users that the model should generate toplists for. The predictions themselves should be saved in the file *batches/batch_1_predictions.dat* as CSV, containing 'user', 'item' and 'pos' columns. Then, the following code can be used to evaluate the results:

.. code-block:: python

    exp = ExternalModelExperiment(
        period_length=60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 4,
        in_name_base="batches/batch",
        mode="read",
    )

For working examples, please check out the `examples/external_models <https://github.com/rpalovics/Alpenglow/tree/master/examples/external_models>`_ directory of the repository, where this process is demonstrated through multiple examples, such as `LibFM <https://github.com/srendle/libfm>`_, `LightFM <https://github.com/lyst/lightfm>`_ and `Turicreate <https://github.com/apple/turicreate>`_.

This deck beside the Ipswich River was built with pressure treated yellow pine framing and fir decking many ago. The framing is still in excellent condition. The owners wanted to replace the rotting deck with a wood that would survive the dampness of their shady yard along the Ipswich River, and eventually chose ipe, a dense and very durable wood from South America.
We replaced the fir railings with a vinyl composite rail. The builders had simply nailed the header joist to the house, and some of those nails had rusted away. I reattached the deck with 3/8″ lag bolts into the house sill. With the newer copper based preservative in modern pressure treated wood it is absolutely necessary that these bolts be double dip galvanized.
This was the first deck on which I used Tiger Claw Hidden Deck Fasteners TC-4 Exotic Hardwoods. With the supplied application tool, you pound the sharp teeth of the fasteners into the side of the deck board, then screws the fastener into the joist. They make a fastener appropriate to density of the chosen deck material. They're expensive, but your deck will have no screws showing. Although I installed the decking and fasteners by myself, you may find it easier to do with the help of a second person to help you keep the boards straight. Measure from the end and mark a chalk line every three or four courses.
One of the owners' major concerns was that they were always scrubbing the algae off their railings and deck. In this environment, you will find the green stuff growing on any exterior surface that does not get prolonged sunlight. Composites, vinyl, and ipe are no exception, but much easier to clean with a power washer without accidentally causing damage to the materials. Ipe is one of the densest (and most expensive) decking materials. Whereas even careful use of power washers can wear through the softer grain on yellow pine, cedar or fir, the surface of ipe decks stays intact. I've owned my 3,000 psi Honda Gas-Powered Pressure Washer for over a dozen years, and it makes the annual job of power washing the deck go very quickly. Don't waste your money or time on a less powerful machine.
All deck surfaces should be treated with an oil or stain such as Cabot Australian Timber Oil Penetrating Finish to prevent extensive damage from solar radiation, which slowly "burns away" at the deck surface. We made sure to buy FSC certified ipe in order to not contribute to Amazon deforestation.

Participating in organised sports and joining after school clubs can help to improve primary school children's academic performance and social skills, new research shows.
Improving achievement
Researchers from Newcastle University, NatCen Social Research, and ASK Research, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, analysed information on more than 6,400 English children born in 2000-01 who are being followed by the Millennium Cohort Study.
Children taking part in organised sports and physical activities at the ages of five, seven and 11 were almost one and a half times more likely to reach a higher than expected level in their Key Stage 2 (KS2) maths test at age 11. No relationship was found between organised sports and activities and KS2 English and science scores.
Children receiving extra tuition in English at some time between the ages of seven and 11 were more likely to have a higher KS2 score than those without. There was some evidence that moderate TV watching was associated with higher KS2 scores – but without knowing the content of the TV watched it was not possible to draw firm conclusions.
Among disadvantaged children, those who attended after school clubs also fared better than their peers who did not take part in such groups. They achieved on average, a two-point higher total score in their KS2 assessments in English, maths and science at the end of primary school.
This is equivalent to two-fifths of the 'attainment gap' between poorer children who score, on average, a total of 53 points at KS2 and those from more affluent homes, who gain 58 points.
Liz Todd, Professor of Educational Inclusion at Newcastle University's School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences said: "This is the first research of this scale to show a link between primary school children's out of school activities and educational achievement and is the best research so far to suggest after school clubs should be funded for young economically disadvantaged children. We believe that out of school activities are improving education and social achievement.
"Many teachers and parents will welcome our finding that reading for enjoyment was found to be positively associated with good KS2 results. It's good to find this about activities children undertake for their own enjoyment."
Wide-ranging benefits
The study's lead investigator, Dr Emily Tanner, of NatCen, said: "Results showed that sports clubs were positively associated with attainment outcomes at age 11, even when accounting for prior attainment at age seven.
"The recent Budget announcement to direct money raised by the tax on sugary drinks towards funding sport and after school activities suggests policymakers are recognising the wide-ranging benefits of these activities. "
From the ages of five to 11, formal sports club activity was dominated by children from more well-off families. This peaked at age seven, with almost four out of five taking part, compared to only two out of five of those from poorer homes.
In comparison, roughly equal numbers of children from both backgrounds were involved in after school clubs at ages five, seven and 11.
The researchers discovered that children who participated in organised sports and physical activities at any time during primary school had better social, emotional and behavioural skills than those who did not take part.
This was also the case for disadvantaged children who had attended an after school club during primary school, compared with other poorer children who had never joined one.
Youngsters who read the most frequently for pleasure had the highest total point score at KS2 and were the most likely to achieve a level five in English.
The findings took into account background factors such as child gender, ethnicity, age and family structure, as well as parental income and occupational class

5 Slides Pandora Doesn't Want You To See: Pandora's HUGE 18-24 Problem
By Pierre Bouvard March 29, 2016
Will Pandora be to streaming what MySpace was to social media?
MySpace was the first major social media site. It was da bomb. Then, Facebook came along and the rest is history. Does the same fate await Pandora? Time will tell.
Trouble is brewing for Pandora among 18- to 24-year-olds. Five slides from Edison Research's "Share of Ear" study explain why.
Online radio vs. on-demand audio
In the world of online audio, there are two kinds of companies:
Online radio services like Pandora mimic traditional radio by playing curated songs in specific genres.
On-demand services, like Spotify or YouTube, allow you to actually play a specific album or song. The on-demand experience is more like listening to your CDs or personal music collection. More choice and control.
1. Among 18-24s, time spent with on-demand services is surging at the expense of owned music. From fall 2014 to fall 2015, the share of total audio time spent with Americans' owned music has dropped from 24% to 20.5%.
Meanwhile, the share of time spent with on-demand services Spotify and YouTube has jumped from 16.3% to 23.7%. For the first time, 18-24s are spending more time with music they rent versus music they own.
We are also seeing the shift from owning to renting content in the world of video, as DVD sales have plunged and Netflix has soared.
2. Pandora has a huge 18-24 problem and it's called YouTube and Spotify. Over the last year, share of 18-24 time spent listening to YouTube and Spotify has surged 45%. Meanwhile Pandora's 18-24 shares are up only a bit. YouTube and Spotify are now nearly 2.5 times as big as Pandora.
3. Spotify's 18-24 time spent listening is going through the roof and will soon overtake Pandora. In one year, Spotify's 18-24 share of listening has grown 134%, from a 3.5% share to an 8.2% share. For all of 2015, Pandora hovered around a 9% share.
4. Spotify's reach is growing; Pandora's reach growth has stalled.
Among all people 13 and over, the number of total uniques, or different people Pandora reaches, has flatlined. Spotify's total reach is up 23% since fall 2014.
5. Spotify's audience has more passion compared to Pandora. Spotify does a much better job converting reach into audience share of time spent listening. Among 18-24s, for every 1% of reach, Spotify generates a .45 share. Pandora is only able to convert 1% of reach into a .37 share.
Time spent listening to Pandora is declining, according to new research from Bridge Ratings, which has been tracking the growth of Pandora over time. Since 2014, the number of daily listening occasions to Pandora is decreasing, and people are also spending less time per listening occasion with the service.
AM/FM is the centerpiece of audio
Despite all this, AM/FM remains the centerpiece of American audio. With a towering total 52% share of time spent listening, AM/FM is eight times bigger than Pandora and 21 times bigger than Spotify.
According to Edison, in a typical day 74% of Americans are reached by AM/FM; only 15% are reached by Pandora and 5% are reached by Spotify. Thus in a typical day, 85% are not reached by Pandora and 95% are not reached by Spotify.
Meanwhile, Pandora has a big problem with 18-24s, and it's called YouTube and Spotify. Something on the agenda for its new CEO.

38 | Boating Industry | October 2016 www.BoatingIndustry.com WOMEN making WAVES to grow boating. Being a woman president who is out in the public a lot, and on the water a lot – it's fun to show that potential. What advice do you have for women starting their careers in the marine industry? Know what you know, and know what you don't. No one knows it all, you just have to ask lots of questions. This is still a male-dominated fi eld, but we're not the only industry like that. Be your best, make it a priority to continue to learn and grow every day, and your gender is not going to be an issue. What are some of your favorite non-boating hob- bies? I read a lot of books (including audio books while driving) and enjoy cooking up delicious and healthy foods for family and friends and exercising and travel. I also do textile crafts and like working with the vibrant colors of fabrics and yarns. KRIS CARROLL PRESIDENT, GRADY-WHITE BOATS Years in the marine industry: 40 What are some of the biggest lessons you have learned working in the marine industry? First, you can't be successful all by yourself, it takes a team of hardworking people who are dedicated to cre- ating the best products, services, etc. "Together" is the most important part of Grady-White's vi- sion: "Together, delivering the ultimate boating experience." We accomplish that by paying ex- ceptional attention to the details. Second, life is a very short journey; therefore it is important to live it fully and live it well. Pro- ducing a product that helps our customer cre- ate incredible memories with their families and friends, and at the same time, leading a company where all team members can truly enjoy coming to work, is living the "American Dream." If you had to choose one memorable achieve- ment in the marine industry, what would it be and why? Winning the JD Power award for Highest Customer Satisfaction is one of our most signifi cant achievements. What advice do you have for women starting their careers in the marine industry? Don't focus on yourself, or what others think of you, but give all your energy and focus to your work. Real satis- faction and joy comes from giving our very best, every day. It's honest, passionate commitment to excellence that is most valuable in any business … and will always get recognized! What would you be doing if you weren't working in the boating industry? My true passion is help- ing people become all that they were meant to be. I've been fortunate to have a leadership role at Grady-White that gives me plenty of oppor- tunity to do that. I believe: "Build your people, build your business," which is the role of leader- ship in any business. What are some of your favorite non-boating hob- bies? Reading (learning what others are think- ing) and gardening, which although routine and physical, surprises our senses with beauty in its season. Both give me a great return for my efforts! What is your favorite place to go boating? I really enjoy overnight trips, with my husband, to Beau- fort, New Bern, or Washington, N.C. aboard our Grady-White Express 330. COURTNEY CHALMERS VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING, DOMINION MARINE MEDIA Education: B.A. in Digital Media, Uni- versity of Virginia Years in the marine industry: 12 What fi rst drew you to the marine industry? Hands down, it's the people. There are few industries where the job and the passion are one and the same, but the boating industry affords us that luxury. The industry has the appeal of a small town, similar to the one I grew up in. It's like having a family of a few thousand people – when some- thing bad happens, you feel the support from every single person, and when something great happens, you'll probably be in the newspaper (or Boating In- dustry magazine!). What are some of the biggest lessons you have learned working in the marine industry? It's about boats – not cars, Coca-Cola or Nike. I have given a lot of presentations, and as a marketer, it's tempt- ing to share Coke's newest campaign or sales data from the car industry. The boating industry, though, is a unique market unlike many others where consumer behavior is driven by a passion. I learned quickly – and sometimes the hard way – that you gain a lot more credibility when the content is highly relevant to boat dealers. Keeping up with the industry news makes you a much better conversationalist. People are on the go, companies are being acquired, new boats are being launched – and it has served me well to know what's happening. Maybe it's my small town roots, but being in the know is the best way to stay on your toes. Was it diffi cult to navigate a career in the marine indus- try? Why or why not? I fi gured out early on what my strengths were and the value I could bring to the in- dustry. If you have that fi gured out, then navigating a career is much easier. Set goals, work to achieve them and have a plan B when you hit roadblocks. How do you hope to inspire other women in the marine industry? As leaders in the industry, I believe it is our responsibility to bring talented women into the industry and to develop the women on our teams to be infl uencers. By hiring – and developing – con- fi dent and talented women who are motivated to make an impact, we lay the groundwork for strong leadership in our industry for years to come. What advice do you have for women starting their careers in the marine industry? Be resourceful. Surround yourself with smart people that you can count on, and return the favor. Build a great personal brand. Carve out your expertise and be known for it. "Just." Strike It. I recently read an article by a former Google and Apple marketing executive, Ellen Petry Leanse, who encouraged the women on her team to strike the word "just" from their work vocabulary. She viewed it as a "permission" or a way to soften the blow. I shared the idea with my team last year, and they've each said that their messages feel stron- ger and their convictions clearer by striking the J word. Try it. I think you'll notice the difference.

Art and the Motorcycle
|In Art + Design
|By Paul d'Orléans
The Guggenheim Museum's reflective interior spiral designed by Frank Gehry for the 'Art of the Motorcycle' exhibition in 1998. [Guggenheim Museum]
I graduated from college in 1984, when old motorcycles were junk, and started my career in earnest, as a hoarder of relics, an old bike swapper, and a sometime dealer. In the 1980s and '90s, if you didn't agree that obsolete motorcycles should be discarded, you were an eccentric. If you owned a corral of 'rusty old bikes', you were on par with the scrap-man, and the theme from 'Sanford and Son' hung about you like perfume. No matter the depth of your passion, seriousness of your interest, or evidence of your connoisseurship in the astute historic purchases you'd made, when you informed a civilian that you collected vintage motorcycles in the 1980s, their response was invariably 'why'?
Author Paul d'Orléans in his garage with 3 vintage Nortons in 1985: 1959 Model 99 Dominator, 1966 Atlas, 1962 Electra. [Paul d'Orleans]
We of a certain age endured the special scrutiny awarded vintage bike collectors, which is not to diminish the raised eyebrows cast at every motorcyclist in a first-world country. Why citizens feel an obligation to warn us that motorcycles are dangerous and we'll surely be killed like their second cousin Virgil, beggars the rational mind. As if we were new to the game, and hadn't learned PDQ what the rules were, and the consequences of mistaking our chosen playing field for a friendly game. We know the risks, and deal with them according to our personality; some of us wear crossing-guard vests over the latest protective gear and ride BMWs with anti-lock brakes, while some of us wear socially abrasive vests, asphalt-eater denim, and have no front brake. Regardless, we are all stained by the same sin, an addiction to the erotic cocktail of speed, unfettered mobility, and danger unique to motorcycling.
The stunning effect of turning the Guggenheim's interior spiral, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, into a silver machine. [Guggenheim Museum]
The Art of the Motorcycle exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum back in 1998 changed the course of history for old bike lovers, in ways we're still sorting out. It was a brave and controversial move by Thomas Krens, the Guggenheim's bike-riding director, to mount the show at all. He had been in talks with BMW for many months, who were looking for a suitable exhibition to bankroll. It seemed a natural fit that a motorcycle manufacturer should sponsor the most important bike show in history, but not everyone agreed. Regardless that it was the Museum's second most-visited exhibit ever, plenty of critics found reason to deride the show, calling it a crass pandering to BMWs corporate money, and a surrender of curatorial integrity to the twin evils of cash and popular culture.
Time magazine's art critic Robert Hughes, author of the 'Shock of the New' books and PBS series; closet motorcyclist! [TIME magazine]
Of course, 'we' had our allies…including any art critic who'd actually ridden a motorcycle. The late Robert Hughes, author of the seminal modern art books and PBS show 'Shock of the New', wrote on the back page of Time magazine (Aug 18, 1998) that it was high time bikes were in museums. His only lament was the absence of choppers (barring a 'Captain America' replica), which he considered especially worthy of big museum show as unheralded examples of Folk Art, in the subcategory Outsider Art. To that, we all nodded our heads; a biker might be as mainstream as Malcolm Forbes, but we all identify with outsider status, because motorcycles are the great leveler. On a bike, the distracted Volvo mom and the half-asleep pickup trucker care not for your bank account, social position, or fame; all are equal before their lethal grille.
The apex of motorcycle collecting then and now; a JAP-engined Brough Superior SS100 [Hockenheim Museum Archive]
Among bike collectors, the response to the Art of theMotorcycle was a mix of 'it's about time' and 'oh boy, here we go'. That motorcycles should be equated with the art objects typically found in museums was a conclusion reached at the start of any vintage enthusiast's journey. That second reaction – uh oh – was the awareness that our private world, the subterranean network of moto-obsessives, would shortly be blown wide open. We couldn't have predicted 'Pickers' and reality-ish motorbike TV, but we knew the gig was up; it was only a matter of time before the money-juice saturating museum treasures would slime our hobby for good, and we'd all become professionals and auction watchers, or hide our heads in old oil drums while greedy 'value-hunters' banged on our garage doors.
Paul d'Orléans and Susan McLaughlin putting a 1934 Brough Superior 11.50 through its paces at one of the remarkable Wheels&Waves festivals in France. [Vincent Prat]
And so it has proved. For better or worse, we have all become grease-stained connoisseurs, struggling to keep our mobile investment portfolios on the road at the very best, or hidden out of sight at worst. Nowadays stories of fraud and wobbly ethics circulate like cancer tales at an old-folks home; personal 'loans' taken out of rich club coffers, ultra-shady deathbed 'gifts' of Series A Vincent twins, significant provenance machined from lumps of new metal. Humans are consistent; similar tales are stacked like rocks as the very foundation of the Bible. But sometimes, I just want to ride my old bike, and fast enough to keep the invisible price tag behind me, flapping in the breeze.

Sin, an addiction to the erotic cocktail of speed, unfettered mobility, danger that is unique to motorcycling.
a unsung song of primordial cry escaping from the bogey man! Regular life.
Some will never know what motorcycle riding does to a soul. Sad really to those. It can own your entire conscious being ……… for a lifetime. It was first time riding a Norton Commando in 1968 at the beach at Sunset. Now as death approaches that first ride – feeling of all things at that moment, the memory is etched brighter than ever. One never forgets when the true meaning of freedom – love of a machine- the moment. Might be more powerful than the first time with a woman going to manhood. You decide. I have already………………. my ride on a motorcycle. simple really.
"Hmm… I believe that last photo caption in the piece should read "1944" Brough.
Paul d'Orléans
Quite right – it's a '34 Brough Superior 11.50. Thanks!
do you know the photo credit of the JAP-engined Brough Superior SS100 photograph? it is stunning.
It's from the Hockenheim Museum Archive, and is the 1930 Earl's Court Show bike, the photo taken at the exhibit.

Very nice to catch a glimpse of the early years of the one who would become a classic in the motorcycling world! In my head, that picture rhymes with the mistique I felt when getting my first motorcycle: "I want to age alongside this machine, become a classic while riding it."

That's a really well-written, snappy, and enjoyable article to read, Paul.


[May 23, 2008] If you would've told me before the Major League Baseball season started that by Memorial Day the St. Louis Cardinals would be within a game or two of first place, I would've asked you what insane asylum you were living in and how your treatments were going?! I still think the Cubs will win the division (but where did Houston come from?), but a closer race is more fun for all concerned, don't you think? Even if it is a fluke, it makes the division more competitive and gives everyone something to talk about around the water cooler (I know Greg Taylor wants to talk about politics there, but that can get hotter than Cub-Cardinal spats!).
I think what is more mind-blowing is when you analyze how the Redbirds are getting it done. Going into the weekend, the Cards were batting something like .212 with runners in scoring position for the month of May! Up until this most recent West Coast road swing, Redbird starters were 5-7 with an ERA over 5.00-plus in their previous 12 starts. That sounds a lot more like last year's disastrous results than it sounds like a team vying for the divisional lead!
Then how is St. Louis among the leaders? That, my friends, is a very good question. Well, for starters, take the starters (how's that for a play on words? -- and they say I'm no journalist). In April, Cardinal starting pitchers were 15-5 with a sparkling 3.30 ERA. I don't have to tell you that if they keep that up, they'll be in the race a lot longer than yours truly told you they would!
Or, how about the play of Ryan Ludwick? The casual baseball observer may not even know that he emerged onto the scene at the end of last season. Since his insertion as a regular starter, he is among the top three players in all of MLB in slugging percentage, homers and RBIs. Not bad for a kid who has struggled with injuries the last two to three seasons.
And what about the new guy ... third baseman Troy Glaus, who had the unenviable task of replacing fan-favorite Scott Rolen? Oh, he's only hitting .280 with 32 RBIs, which is one more than a teammate named Pujols and good for 13th in the league!
And speaking of Sir Albert ... he's only humming along at a .351 batting average, 11 homers, 31 RBIs and has failed to reach base in, I think, only two ballgames! Ho-hum!
Don't forget the leadoff work of Skip Schumaker, who is hitting a solid .301 and playing fantastic defense. And speaking of stingy D, have you happened to see Rick Ankiel throw anybody out lately? Just kiddin' ... that guy is sic!
Even Aaron Miles is contributing even more than he did last year, currently hitting a robust .323. And don't look now, but enigmatic shortstop Cesar Izturis, who was a desperation signing mostly for his glove late in the proceedings, is carrying a .327 average over the last four games!
I talked a little about the hitters because I didn't want to forget about them. I also wanted to point out that this is a true epitome team and will only continue to produce these successful results if and only if all 40 members of the roster (24 at a time) continue to battle and claw their way to victory. Chicago is better on paper, so St. Louis will have to display more grit and heart.
I was remiss and didn't say enough about the pitching. But what can you say about Todd Wellemeyer? Wasn't he a pitcher left on the scrap heap by the Kansas City Royals? If they leave you for dead ... you're dead! Not so fast, my friend. Enter Dave Duncan ... Cardinal pitching coach extraordinary and career resurrecter. He gave Wellemeyer a plan. In his 20 Cardinal starts going into this road trip, Wellemeyer has gone 7-2 and fashioned a 3.45 ERA. You're probably reading this in your office and thinking to yourself, "Hey, that's not too bad." That's what makes you readers some of the most astute in the sports world. Not only is that not too bad, but it's as good or better than anyone in baseball over their last 20 starts (as always ... I implore you to look it up, and you'll be as surprised as I was when I discovered the results). BTW, the Cards are 14-6 in the games that he started. He's also in the top 10 when it comes to strikeout ratios and may even assist the team trainer in his spare time for all we know.
What I'm trying to tell you is that if a reclamation project can produce that kind of results, what kind of effect do you think that's having on the rest of the Cardinal staff? One word: profound. I think Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper will be fine ... though they've had to carry enormous weight the last two seasons. Joel Pineiro hasn't been that bad either ... just has pitched into some bad luck on a couple of outings, and he needs to pitch deeper into games. But all in all, the starters have been stellar.
The bullpen hasn't been bad either. Outside of the Jason Isringhausen meltdown, you'd have to give this Redbird contingent pretty high marks. Put it another way and St. Louis isn't still hanging around without them. I'll write more about them in the future.
Going into the season, this wasn't a team that I thought Tony La Russa would excel with. In the past he's been great with veteran-laden teams. I just thought that this team would be too young and too inexperienced to make much noise. However, if they're gonna fight for their right ... and if they're going to be mentally tough night in and night out ... maybe they can hang around awhile this season.
I'm cautiously optimistic and just going from one holiday to the next. I'll be working this one while most of you are playing, but if the Cards are still in contention come July 4, it could shape up to be a fun season. In the word of Cardinal great Joaquin Andujar, "Youneverknow?!"

Nikesh Arora to Become CEO of Palo Alto Networks: 'I Really Wanted to Be an Operator'
Nikesh Arora, a Silicon Valley fixture who helped build Google and then did a brief and tumultuous stint as president of Masayoshi Son's Softbank, has finally landed his CEO job. Arora will become head of Palo Alto Networks on June 6, replacing Mark McLaughlin.
Arora told Fortune in an interview Friday that after the SoftBank experience, "I went through the process of thinking about what I would do next, and I really wanted to be an operator. I wanted it to be at a growth company in a growth business… And I wanted to make sure it was the right company with the right team. The more time I spent with Mark and the team [at Palo Alto Networks], the more I got excited. It's a great culture, a fast growth company, and the opportunity is to continue to work with the team and scale and expand."
Arora has no direct experience in cybersecurity. But Palo Alto Networks has been thriving recently, with nearly $ 2 billion in revenue last year, and a 90% surge in its stock price. While it is an increasingly competitive business, "They have been winning against all the players in the marketplace," Arora said.
McLaughlin will remain at the company as vice chairman. He said he wanted to step down as CEO in part to spend more time with his family, which includes two adult daughters and an eight-year-old son. McLaughlin will have an operational role as an advocate for customers and an interface with government. He added that he will continue his work with the federal government on a cybersecurity "moonshot."
"You'll be hearing more about that this summer," McLaughlin said.
While at SoftBank in 2015, Arora paid a visit to Fortune's annual Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen. Watch his interview with executive editor Adam Lashinsky here.

Perspectives on Leadership from Women in Development
Categories: Announcements
Today, on International Women's Day, we join the international community in celebrating and recognizing women across the globe. We recently sat down with two women who have contributed greatly to the HFG project, Dr. Mursaleena Islam and Jocelyne Nkongolo, to discuss the challenges they have faced as women in their fields and to get an idea of what it means to them to be gender inclusive.
Briefly share with us your background and what led you to where you are today as Country Manager for Bangladesh?
I am fortunate to be with Abt Associates, where I've had numerous opportunities for professional growth that have led me to where I am today. I joined Abt in 2004 as an Associate, in which I worked on multiple projects across multiple countries. From 2012 to 2014, I worked with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance in Geneva. In 2014, I decided to move to Bangladesh, where I was born, to adopt a baby girl. I rejoined Abt, and ultimately became Country Manager.
What are some of the greatest challenges you have faced as a woman to get to where you are in your career?
Knowing to speak my mind and make sure I'm heard, and asking for that promotion or raise were challenging in my early years. I quickly learned that I needed to be assertive in order to make progress. Once, I even had a supervisor write that I'm too aggressive in my performance review! Now, as a single, middle-aged mother, the greatest challenge that is increasingly important is maintaining a work-life balance.
What does it mean to you to be gender inclusive? Why does this matter?
It means making sure there is gender balance in all that we do! Whether it is in the day to day project activities or in facilitating a workshop. I often notice in workshops that it is easy to have all male panelists or all male participants if an effort is not made to be gender inclusive.
What advice would you give to other women working in your field?
Be assertive and speak your mind, professionally of course! Ask for what you want, whether it's a raise or a promotion!
Briefly share with us your background and what led you to where you are today as Chief of Party for the Democratic Republic of Congo?
Having studied at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Kinshasa, my ambitions were to work for one of the international organizations. Throughout my professional career in public institutions in my country, I continued to think about how to get there. With my work in public finance at the Ministry of Finance, I had the opportunity to participate in two trainings at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, D.C. in "Macroeconomic Management and Public Finance Issues" and in "Financial Programming and Policy", thinking that this would propel me into my dream job, but unfortunately not.
On the other hand, it allowed me to work at the Vice-Presidency of the Republic in charge of the Economic and Financial Commission as Senior Adviser at the College of Economics and Finance. With the political change of my country, I was forced to switch to working on development projects. I did some work with DAI and RTI on the Good Governance Project and then I became a Senior Governance Expert in the World Bank on the project Strengthening Capabilities in Governance (PRCG).
When I was contacted for the position of Chief of Party of Abt Associates Inc. in DRC, I had told myself directly that I was getting closer to my dream as Abt is an internationally renowned company and more so the project I am asked to lead is a project funded by USAID. This journey was possible because of my determination and challenge to demonstrate that both excellence and competence can be found in women.
One of the greatest challenges I faced was working in the Office of the Vice-President of the Republic composed of only men with extensive experience in politics and being able to stand out and share my expertise and competence to the point of offering my advice and consideration at the Cabinet level and at the highest levels for decision-making.
A second challenge was, as a Consultant-Researcher representing the Democratic Republic of Congo among 14 researchers from other SADC member countries, to work on the Assessment of Local Governance Finance in the Southern African Development Community, SADC, under the coordination of Electoral Institute of Southern Africa, EISA and, on Decentralization. This is supposed to be the domain of law, given the need to interpret the provisions of the Constitution, and to develop the National Strategy for the Transfer of Competencies and Resources from the central level to provinces and territorial entities.
In my current position, the challenge is to lead a team with a majority of males of varying ages, understanding the apprehensions that men generally have about women.
Being inclusive gender means to me that society considers you as a contributor to the development of your nation, to the development of the whole world as we are currently in a globalized world. I do not accept the marginalization of many women and vulnerable groups. This is very important because it values women and makes them play an indispensable role in society, in addition to her role alongside her family and her children.
The main advice I will give to women with the same working conditions as me is to move forward with fixed goals on what we want to become in life. From a young age, I had a father who encouraged me to improve myself and not put up barriers and social stereotypes., I have taken Condoleezza Rice as a model, not for her duties but more for her determination to succeed and be influential.

Today we're taking a look at the overclocked variant of the RX 480 from XFX. As we've already explored, Polaris isn't exactly an overclocking powerhouse and doesn't seem to do very well considering how warm it tends to run. Third-party coolers even struggle somewhat to keep the heat at bay, diminishing the amount of headroom we expected to have compared to the stock cooler. Regardless, the XFX RX 480 GTR is their attempt to provide an overall good solution that's both cool(er), quiet(ish) and somewhat faster than stock.
The design choice is said to mirror high-end automotive trends, though the cooler doesn't seem to look anything like that at all. It's a departure from their usual monolithic designs going for something that's more sleek and fluid, likely trying to evoke a sense of speed or even perhaps efficiency. The 90mm fans are something new, something less common among GPUs. You can, if you so desire, change or replace them for others, sold by XFX, very easily. Overall not an unattractive design, but also not exactly what XFX is historically known for, either. The lit-up logo is actually a nice effect, not overly ostentatious at all. Consequently, due to the change in outward appearance, I don't personally like it. I enjoyed the industrial exterior they used before, even if it was a bit drab compared to the flash competitors. That's what I enjoyed about it. Anyway, new architecture, new them.
The interchangeable fans let you switch out the one component that has the highest failure rate, also letting you personalize the fans. You do have to buy those fans, which come with LEDs and varying levels of CFM to let you personalize your card. It's a smart idea and doesn't appear to have a negative effect on performance, or the noise profile.
XFX hasn't always had the best coolers, either, with issues with VRM temperatures with Fiji, Hawaii and even Tahiti. This new design seems to rectify that with coverage of the fans and of more metal to help siphon heat away. The RX 480 GTR, then, should be able to handle these higher frequencies with aplomb.
We'll dive right into the benchmarks, so if you want to get acquainted with the RX 480 itself, you can head on over and read or original review.
AMD's Zen should be performance parity with Intel's Skylake, how far does it need to come?

New Jersey sued for public school segregation
monday, 5/21/2018
A group of non-profit corporations including New Jersey Coalition of Diverse and Inclusive Schools, along with New Jersey students, sued the state of New Jersey Thursday for having racially segregated schools.
In addition to relying on Brown v. Board of Education, the plaintiffs also cited the New Jersey Constitution, which expressly prohibits segregation by race in public schools. The plaintiffs used the data that 66.1 percent of Black students attend public school districts where the non-white students make up 75 percent or greater of the student population. In addition, 24.4 percent of Black students attend a public school district where 90 percent of the student body is made up of Latino or Black students. This is compared to the 42 percent of White students who attend public school districts that are made up of a student population that is 80 percent White or greater.
The complaint lists three main causes of the segregation of New Jersey public schools: "residential segregation, municipalities and school district drawn inside the segregated residential zones, and state laws assigning students to schools by residency."
There are three recommended forms of relief, interdistrict desegregation plans, interdistrict enrollment in magnet schools, and regional controlled choice. These policies would include allowing schools to voluntarily send students to others outside of their residential district.
