A widely-used clinical aptitude test which helps universities select the next generation of doctors and dentists is to be adopted by leading medical and dental schools in Australia and New Zealand.
The UKCAT Consortium, launched in 2006 and with offices at the University of Nottingham, now delivers the test on behalf of the majority of medical and dental schools in the UK.
The computer-based test is a two-hour, timed assessment which measures a range of cognitive abilities, mental attitudes and professional behaviours. Scores are mostly used to select candidates for interview, alongside measures of academic attainment and other aspects of the UCAS form. Research has shown that the test is a reliable predictor of performance at medical school.

In 2018 the UKCAT was taken by a record number of 27,000 candidates in the UK. From 2019, in a major development, the test is being adopted by a consortium of Medical and Dental Schools in Australia and New Zealand. The content of the test remains the same but is has been rebranded - the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) will continue to be delivered at Pearson VUE test centres throughout the UK and internationally.
Announcing the expansion, Chief Operating Officer, Rachel Greatrix, said: "This is a major milestone for UKCAT, which has been a huge asset in medical and dental selection in this country. The test was developed under the leadership of Professor Ian Johnson, then admissions tutor for medicine at the University of Nottingham who pioneered the idea of an easily accessible online assessment tool to supplement traditional applications.
"We are delighted that a group of leading universities in Australia and New Zealand are partnering with us and will adopt our test in their admissions cycle this summer. It comes following a year that saw a record number of candidates taking the test. At the same time we have a record number of Universities within the UKCAT Consortium. In 2019, 30 Universities will use the test in selection for medicine and dentistry. This includes new medical schools such as the Lincoln Medical School, a University of Nottingham medical course launching at the University of Lincoln this autumn."
Nigel Siesage, UKCAT Chair, said:" I am delighted to see the establishment of the UCAT arising out of the collaboration between universities based in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. We look forward to working with colleagues in Australia and New Zealand to further develop our test according to the outcomes of the most robust research."
The UCAT will replace the Undergraduate Medical and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) previously used by the consortium of 11 leading universities in Australia and New Zealand.
Professor Wayne Hodgson, Chair of the UMAT Consortium and Deputy Dean (Education), Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University, said: "We are excited to be taking this next step which will see us moving to an internationally renowned aptitude test giving our member universities greater flexibility and ensuring we continue to promote best practice in admissions. We look forward to working collaboratively with our counterparts at UK universities in the future development and use of the test."

first timer's visit to KBF -- 6/12/06
Well, it was a long drive from our hotel near Fresno, but after about 3.5-4 hrs, we finally made it to KBF. We had some trouble finding the parking lot, but we eventually did, and that's cool.
I think it's interesting how they have the little area outside of the park with shops and food, and it's nice how Soak City is so close. Anyway, I'll just make some comments/observations as usual.
-- This park is nice. It is also fairly well-themed. I would describe it as a sort of Hersheypark of the west, though it has better theming. Definitely more character than Dorney Park, though it definitely is a Cedar Fair park.
-- Jaguar! is a so-so ride. I wonder what they were thinking when they put this thing in. The theming is pretty darn good for a Cedar Fair park.
-- Monte is fun. I've only ridden 2 of the Schwarzkopf shuttles, and this is the better of the 2. The other is a weight drop version, and the launch is better on this one.
-- I like Xcellerator. This is probably my 2nd favorite of the rocket coasters, beating out Storm Runner & Kingda Ka; eclipsed only by Top Thrill Dragster. It's also the only one that launches out of the station. I definitely like the lap bar and seat belt combo better than the OSTRs.
-- Ghostrider is ok. I like the station and queue; they did a great job here. The ride is somewhat rough, and the ending is somewhat anti-climatic to me. Good thing CCI was still using PTCs at this point.
-- Boomerang is your average Vekoma model. It's decent for its age, I suppose.
-- Silver Bullet has got to be the mildest B&M invert that I've ever ridden. It's not a bad ride; it's just not very intense. Usually, cobra rolls on the B&M inverts are intense/snappy, but this one felt more like something on one of their floorless coasters. I like the semi-inverting turn between the loop and the cobra roll, and I like the placement in the park, including over the pond.
-- I didn't bother with Supreme Scream, the main reason being that the 2 sides running were both turbo drops; the 3rd side was closed--is this a TD also, or is it a space shot? I like the space shots better myself.
-- Perilous Plunge opened later in the day. I didn't want to get soaked, so I didn't ride, but that thing looks crazy. Do the new boats have OSTRs like the giant drops or like SR & KK? What kind of retrofit did the boats have after the accident (I didn't see extremely close)?
-- Knotts has a decent collection of flats, and they have a nice version of Camp Snoopy (nice to know that it is the original).
-- One of the nicest employees we encountered on the trip was a waiter at a restaurant in the Ghost Town area (not sure of the name). The food here was good and priced decently for a theme park. I definitely recommend it.
-- Knotts has the best log flume that I've ever ridden. I'm a coaster enthusiast, but I also like log flumes as well. I also got to sample PGA's and SFMM's log flumes, and I like all of them.
-- Nice that they've kept the Calico Mine Ride all these years, and it still has decent theming.
-- The park was fairly crowded, and there were lots of kids there. I saw more line jumping here than at SFMW or PGA, and maybe even more than SFMM. I wish the park would monitor their queues better and have more security present.
-- Silver Bullet was only running 1 train, which was displeasing to me. The other train wasn't fully assembled. If they need to work on the trains, please do this during the slower months and not in June, unless they ran into some sort of problem and not just routine maintenance.
-- The theming at this park is good; very good for a non-Busch and non-Disney park, actually. It's also cool how they have a train ride and a stagecoach ride.
-- As far as expansion at this park, I'm not sure where they'd go with another major coaster. It would be nice to see a hyper put in somewhere, but where is the question.
-- As a side note, anyone know where Windjammer formerly stood?
-- What is the native American attraction like? It was closed when we went by it.
-- Overall, this is one of the nicest-looking parks I've been to in terms of theming and upkeep. Definitely worth a trip if you're in SoCal. It does pretty well for having 2 Disney parks only several miles away.

Xcelerator now stands upon Windjammer's old location. A definite improvement, I think.

I believe they are all turbo drops.
You should have had the fried chicken in the California Marketplace. Mrs. Knott's fried chicken is worth the flight out there for me :)
It's also the only place you can ride a stagecoach in the United States.
It is basically a show, with special effects done behind a plate glass window. I highly recommend doing it if you ever go out there again.

Thanks for helping answer my questions. We were gonna go to the chicken dinner place, but there was a line of sorts, and I didn't feel like waiting a while to eat. I'm glad we picked the place we did, and we were seated almost immediately. The food was decent, too.
We would have caught that show, but it wasn't open when we went over there.
Do the stagecoach rides cost extra? I didn't bother checking it out.
Why did they make them ALL turbo drops? Couldn't they have at least made one a space shot? I like those better, myself.

FYI, Jaguar! was built in 1995, when the park was still owned by the Knott family. Cedar Fair didn't come into the picture until December of 1997, so everything that is Jaguar! and that came along with it is all the doing of the Knott family.
It's too bad you missed Mystery Lodge, which is an industry award winning attraction. It's not a live-"show" persay, but an incredible "story-telling" visual effects attraction in which an "Native American tribesperson" (the person isn't real, but it sure looks like it) tells the audience a story, which is highlighted by effective use of special effects.
No, it's not an extra-charge attraction -- however, the queue wait takes a while because they can only fit so many people on the carriage at one time.
Very, very long story. I could go into the whole thing and be very detailed about it, but that would, no joke, would require paragraphs and paragraphs. So long story VERY short, Cedar Fair wanted Knott's Supreme Scream to be a four-leg tower complex like the Power Tower sister ride at Cedar Point, with two Space Shot, two Turbo Drop legs, but Disney's California Adventure had already secured the rights to the Space Shot model in that market area, thus Supreme Scream's all-Turbo Drop setup.

^ Ah thanks. I guess that could make sense about Supreme Scream and Disney. It kinda stinks, as I think the space shots are better. Why didn't they make them combo towers then? Cost, or same reason?
Still, I wonder why the Knott family put in something like Jaguar!? It seems kinda bizarre and like, what's the point? Decent theming, though. Perhaps the Knott family was into stuff that was kinda different--just look at the failed Windjammer Racers.
Their log flume rocks. Actually, CA seems to have a collection of decent/good log flumes--SFMM, PGA, KBF, and DL. We don't seem to have quite as good of a collection here in the northeast, though we do have a decent "amount", the rides and/or locations aren't quite as good overall.
^ Supreme Scream opened in July of 1998 --- which at that point in time, the Combo Ride tower production had not been even developed by S&S yet. So it had nothing to do with cost. It was because the Combo Ride didn't even exist yet.

Q: Friedman Test not working. Is this the appropriate statistical test? I am trying to determine if the mean distance between animal pairs changes across months. According to a Shapiro Wilk test, my mean distance measurements are not normally distributed. Due to this, I went with a Friedman test, but it is not working. Any advice on the problem or better way to analyze this data? Thanks

It's amazing! So powerful and inspiring!
i love this artwork, so beautiful. it tells a great story!
It really is an exceptionnally sweet and charming representation !
Aw, this picture is adorable! I love that she's bowing to the little boy.
Really awesome picture, especially with the boy there.
This is the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen.
I hate assholes that do that.
Do you have a 1920x1080 version to use as a wallpaper?
This is amazing I love every thing about it!
as you wish "a comment"
DRAGON BALL Z: "We Are Angels"
I hope this will be in your comic! I can't wait to read the story behind it!
The Angel in this picture does she have a name?
is yan !! is that nobody has noticed?
mom! look! me have a wings and circle thing too!
The concept of this illustration is cute and awesome at the same time, I like the details and those wings too .
Beautiful. Such detail telling a story without a need for words.
That angel is perfect. I love looking at it. I love looking at this piece. That is a high compliment to any artist. Marvelously done.
I wrote a short story based on this picture, that's how much I love it.
I know this late, but I like your story is really sweet.
a beautiful story...honestly beautiful. I am rather jealous of your prose.
Hi, Can I order this print from you?
This picture is used as a thumbnail for a music video. Don't know if the person asked as it seems like a trend for your art to be used but it is very beautiful and fits the song quite well.
...clearly one of the best angel images I have ever seen, and that halo one of the most unique -- well done.


Since there aren't any forums for Medusa NG, I thought I'd post here.
we use Medusa NG at work, installed on PC's running windows XP. I have now been trained how to use this package, apart from the Bacis1, macros, usc's and 3D functionality.
Nobody at work knows how to use any of the above mentioned, so I thought it would be a good idea to learn how to. Can anybody point me in the right direction of learning the bacis1 programming language so I can write my own macros, create my own parametrics symbols etc?
I couldn't find a documentation for basic 1.

In numerical analysis, the local linearization (LL) method is a general strategy for designing numerical integrators for differential equations based on a local (piecewise) linearization of the given equation on consecutive time intervals. The numerical integrators are then iteratively defined as the solution of the resulting piecewise linear equation at the end of each consecutive interval. The LL method has been developed for a variety of equations such as the ordinary, delayed, random and stochastic differential equations. The LL integrators are key component in the implementation of inference methods for the estimation of unknown parameters and unobserved variables of differential equations given time series of (potentially noisy) observations. The LL schemes are ideals to deal with complex models in a variety of fields as  neuroscience, finance, forestry management, control engineering, mathematical statistics, etc.

Background

Differential equations have become an important mathematical tool for describing the time evolution of several phenomenon, e.g., rotation of the planets around the sun, the dynamic of assets prices in the market, the fire of neurons, the propagation of epidemics, etc. However, since the exact solutions of these equations are usually unknown, numerical approximations to them obtained by numerical integrators are necessary. Currently, many applications in engineering and applied sciences focused in dynamical studies demand the developing of efficient numerical integrators that preserve, as much as possible, the dynamics of these equations. With this main motivation, the Local Linearization integrators have been developed.

High-order local linearization method
High-order local linearization (HOLL) method is a generalization of the Local Linearization method oriented to obtain high-order integrators for differential equations that preserve the stability and dynamics of the linear equations. The integrators are obtained by splitting, on consecutive time intervals, the solution x of the original equation in two parts: the solution z of the locally linearized equation plus a high-order approximation of the residual .

Local linearization scheme
A Local Linearization (LL) scheme is the final recursive algorithm that allows the numerical implementation of a discretization derived from the LL or HOLL method for a class of differential equations.

LL methods for ODEs
Consider the d-dimensional Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)

with initial condition , where  is a differentiable function.

Let  be a time discretization of the time interval  with maximum stepsize h such that  and  . After the local linearization of the equation (4.1) at the time step   the variation of constants formula yields

where

results from the linear approximation, and

is the residual of the linear approximation. Here,  and  denote the partial derivatives of f with respect to the variables x and t, respectively, and

Local linear discretization
For a time discretization , the Local Linear discretization of the ODE (4.1) at each point   is defined by the recursive expression

The Local Linear discretization (4.3) converges with order 2 to the solution of nonlinear ODEs, but it match the solution of the linear ODEs. The recursion (4.3) is also known as Exponential Euler discretization.

High-order local linear discretizations

For a time discretization  a high-order local linear (HOLL) discretization of the ODE (4.1) at each point  is defined by the recursive expression

where  is an order  (> 2) approximation to the residual r  The HOLL discretization (4.4) converges with order  to the solution of nonlinear ODEs, but it match the solution of the linear ODEs.

HOLL discretizations can be derived in two ways: 1) (quadrature-based) by approximating the integral representation (4.2) of r; and 2) (integrator-based) by using a numerical integrator for the differential representation of r defined by

for all ,  where

HOLL discretizations are, for instance, the followings:
 Locally Linearized Runge Kutta discretization

which is obtained by solving (4.5) via a s-stage explicit Runge–Kutta (RK) scheme with coefficients .
 Local linear Taylor discretization

which results from the approximation of in (4.2) by its order-p truncated Taylor expansion.

 Multistep-type exponential propagation discretization

which results from the interpolation of in (4.2) by a polynomial of degree p on , where  denotes the j-th backward difference of .

 Runge Kutta type Exponential Propagation discretization

which results from the interpolation of in (4.2) by a polynomial of degree p on ,

 Linealized exponential Adams discretization

which results from the interpolation of in (4.2) by a Hermite polynomial of degree p on .

Local linearization schemes
All numerical implementation  of the LL (or of a HOLL) discretization  involves approximations  to integrals  of the form

where A is a d × d matrix. Every numerical implementation  of  the LL (or of a HOLL)  of any order is generically called Local Linearization scheme.

Computing integrals involving matrix exponential

Among a number of algorithms to compute the integrals , those based on rational Padé and Krylov subspaces approximations for exponential matrix are preferred. For this, a central role is playing by the expression

Stability and dynamics
 By construction, the LL and HOLL discretizations inherit the stability and dynamics of the linear ODEs, but it is not the case of the LL schemes in general. With , the LL schemes (4.6)-(4.9) are A-stable. With q = p + 1 or q = p + 2, the LL schemes (4.6)–(4.9) are also L-stable. For linear ODEs, the LL schemes (4.6)-(4.9) converge with order p + q. In addition, with p = q = 6 and  = d, all the above described LL schemes yield to the ″exact computation″ (up to the precision of the floating-point arithmetic) of linear ODEs on the current personal computers. This includes stiff and highly oscillatory linear equations. Moreover, the LL schemes (4.6)-(4.9) are regular for linear ODEs and inherit the symplectic structure of Hamiltonian harmonic oscillators. These LL schemes are also linearization preserving, and display a better reproduction of the stable and unstable manifolds around hyperbolic equilibrium points and periodic orbits that other numerical schemes with the same stepsize.

Stability and dynamics

By construction, the strong LL and HOLL discretizations inherit the stability and dynamics of the linear SDEs, but it is not the case of the strong LL schemes in general. LL schemes (7.2)-(7.5) with  are A-stable, including stiff and highly oscillatory linear equations. Moreover, for linear SDEs with random attractors, these schemes also have a random attractor that converges in probability to the exact one as the stepsize decreases and preserve the ergodicity of these equations for any stepsize. These schemes also reproduce essential dynamical properties of simple and coupled harmonic oscillators such as the linear growth of energy along the paths, the oscillatory behavior around 0, the symplectic structure of Hamiltonian oscillators, and the mean of the paths. For nonlinear SDEs with small noise (i.e., (7.1) with ), the paths of these SLL schemes are basically the nonrandom paths of the LL scheme (4.6) for ODEs plus a small disturbance related to the small noise. In this situation, the dynamical properties of that deterministic scheme, such as the linearization preserving and the preservation of the exact solution dynamics around hyperbolic equilibrium points and periodic orbits, become relevant for the paths of the SLL scheme. For instance, Fig 4 shows the evolution of domains in the phase plane and the energy of the stochastic oscillator

and their approximations by two numerical schemes.

Stability and dynamics
 By construction, the weak LL discretizations inherit the stability and dynamics of the linear SDEs, but it is not the case of the weak LL schemes in general. WLL schemes, with  preserve the first two moments of the linear SDEs, and inherits the mean-square stability or instability that such solution may have. This includes, for instance, the equations of coupled harmonic oscillators driven by random force, and large systems of stiff linear SDEs that result from the method of lines for linear stochastic partial differential equations. Moreover,  these WLL schemes preserve the ergodicity of the linear equations, and are geometrically ergodic for some classes of nonlinear SDEs. For nonlinear SDEs with small noise (i.e., (8.1) with ), the solutions of these WLL schemes are basically the nonrandom paths of the LL scheme (4.6) for ODEs plus a small disturbance related to the small noise. In this situation, the dynamical properties of that deterministic scheme, such as the linearization preserving and the preservation of the exact solution dynamics around hyperbolic equilibrium points and periodic orbits, become relevant for the mean of the WLL scheme. For instance, Fig. 5 shows the approximate mean of the SDE

computed by various schemes.

There is already a proposal for this at GroupManagement. However this code doesn't seem to work anymore.
I though about a simpler way to deal with User Groups - my concept is: Give the power to the users and Keep it simple.
The idea is that anyuser could define a new group by creating a dedicated WikiPage: something like MyProjectGroup.
Then he would write in this page all the user logins he wants to be part of the group (embeded inside plus signs to avoid confusions: +UserLogin1+UserLogin2+).
He would decide through the ACLs of this page who can manage the group list.
Then he may use this page name in the ACLs of any page in order to manage the access authorizations.
The only code needed should be that HasAccess() function has to be modified in order to search if the user is part of the group or not.
None that I can figure out. I have it working with 1.1.5.3 version.
Create a WikiPage to manage a particular user group: a name like UserGroupWikkaCrew makes sense (it exists ;-) ), it could be nice to link to a CategoryUserGroup.
Modify the ACLs of this UserGroupPage to reflect who is allowed to manage the group.
Use the UserGroupPage in any ACLs, they can be can be negated using the "!" character as usual.
My code needs probably to be reviewed by expert coder as I am not at all a developer (I just rely on the above user group).
Any ideas and comments than welcome.
This doesn't really make sense, because u can add it as a subgroupe using his page/groupname, no ?
A hacker may be able to get unauthorized access if they create a new user account with the same name as a groupname. For example, in the above scenario, the hacker may gain unauthorized access if (s)he creates a user with "UserGroupWikkaCrew" as the login name. The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to disallow new users to pick a name which is equal to an existing page.

Wouldn't you just love to make the world find peace?
And have all the prisoners of youth released?
To take the criminals and help them to vanish?
We'd take all of our loved one to another planet.
And wouldn't it be beautiful if there were only black roses?
And if we could forget the things that hold us?
Ah – and to raise the dead and never leave again.
How wonderful it would feel to hold our family and friends.
Most of all, the whole world would love our God.

Today's guest is an expert at building brand loyalty and die-hard customers. Listen to learn why she says to NOT start with paid ads to build your audience, and what to do instead.
Please welcome Sushmita Jain.

00.04.57 Business Platform

http://sushmitajain.com
https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesushmitaj/
So Sushmita Jane, thanks for jumping on learning from others. How are you? I'm good. How are you? And thank you for having me. Yeah, I imagine that I probably slaughtered your name. No, you actually said it correctly. So that's fantastic. And just in case someone just wants a simple version, you can call me sush.
All right deal. So, Sush as you know, I like to start with two questions. Um, question number one is going to be, you know, tell us what you do. What are, what are we gonna learn from you today? So I am a business strategist and I, and make outsourcing agency where we have, you know, different team members who handle different things for different businesses.
So basically I'm someone who handles all of the business back in that it's the strategy, whether it's it's implementation. So that's what I do. All right. And we're going to dig into that, but not until I ask you question number two, which is what do you suck at? Oh, okay. When it comes to that, I am really bad at actually boundaries.
So like, you know, I would be working a lot then rather taking time off and all of those things. So this is something which people see, I really suck at. So I'm trying to get better at that because I work a lot. Yeah. Workaholic. So the boundaries are just like within just yourself, your personal boundaries.
Yeah. So it's like, I, I would rather work more than rather invest time more in, you know, like my personal relationships, spending time with my parents and stuff like that. So that's something that I'm working on. Yeah. The topic, because I think, uh, you know, I'm going to ask you a little bit more about that because it's important for our listeners who are largely entrepreneurs.
What, is there a moment where you realized that you had problems with setting boundaries and, and so that's why you're making a more conscious, separate towards it now. Yeah. So it's more like I've had a lot of health issues because I am really bad with, you know, setting boundaries and stuff. So it's like, you know, I would work a lot.
And then I basically don't listen to my body, even though it would give me like, you know, different in different ways. It would let me know. Like I would either be feeling down or, you know, I would be having some of the other health issues from time to time. So it's more. That I have to now make sure that I'm consciously taking more time for myself as well, then rather just, you know, being more flashy and happy about rather being a workaholic, because even though we love our work and that's the reason why we are choosing to do what we do, we still have to.
At least give ourselves some time to recharge rebound, you know, do other things like maybe even small things like reading or, you know, just watching a movie or anything like that. So, yeah. So I have kind of a two-part question. Now, your, in, in your intro, I mentioned how you're a business mentor and live stream enthusiast.
Do do those go together or is live stream enthusiast more on the personal side and business vendors, obviously on the business side or, or. No, both of them go together because it's more like, you know, I do live stream a lot and I do a lot of prerecorded videos as well on my work. And actually I was someone who was really, you know, like literally terrified of being on video initially when I planned or decided to be on, to get started with live videos, one and two is, you know, just starting buzzing and building, but then the more I started doing it, like.
I remember my first live stream, you know, and I did it the first five minutes, or even when I was before I was about to hit that like button, I was like, oh my God. I have no idea whether I would even not to reward once I hit that go live button. And I don't even know whether someone would come and watch the live video, because it was really very initially when I started doing live video, when it was just started within a Facebook and Periscope and all of those platforms.
So that's when I started. And it was so amazing experience because I had like, 60 people watching me when I did hit go live for the first time. And that's it, after that I've been unstoppable because now it's more like, you know, I love having the conversation. So now I look at the camera as someone who's rather a person who's in front of me and I'm having a conversation with them and rather.
Like literally feeling like, okay, I'm just having a conversation maybe with a gadget or a device, or w when you did that, first one, you had 60 people watching. What was your audience? You're offline, not offline audience, but before you went live, you obviously had to have some audience for 60 people to be able to.
Watch. So what was that audience like? How big was it audience? Was it, you know, was it business people to follow you for business for personal? Was it, what platform was it on? So it was on Facebook. I started with Facebook and it was a mix of goal. So it was like, so it was more about like, I had something like say 400, four 50.
The people as my friends on Facebook. So I went live for the first time on my Facebook profile. They're not running a business page. And it was like four 5,500 people who are my friends. So they were more that's my client. So it was a more mix of my time, current clients and my family members. So it was like, okay, if people have.
Oh God. And they are listening to me because I started with, when I did hit go live and, you know, back then the notifications and all of those things were crazy. So initially it started with like, say five, seven people who started when I started the live stream. And by the end, Like I said it was around 50, 60 people and they were asking questions.
We were actually having conversation related to more about, because when I started and did the first Glade, it was more about me sharing who I am and what I do. Then rather just talking about some things related to quality about my business, because I wanted to have a conversation with the people who are connected with me on Facebook.
So just more about my story and why I choose to do what I do because, well, my qualification I'm an engineer, but then I transitioned to become a marketer and then now a business strategist. So it is something. Which people don't quite understand. It's all like, okay, you are an engineer. Why aren't you actually just doing a job?
Like any other engineer would do than rather going back to square one, learning everything about business and, you know, setting things up and growing them and then growing a business around that. How long ago was this first Facebook live? So that was, I think, around. More than four years or something like that.
It has been quite some time. And is that what you help other people with now is, is bringing their message to bring their message online. So we've worked on both, whether it's videos as well as written content, because that is also something which people do struggle with, because it's more, I mean, some people struggle with going more on video and some people find it even difficult to, you know, express out what they're even working on.
Even the current projects to share the message out with businesses or even other people who they want to connect with. So for instance, like we have say maybe, you know, people who are coaches who are just working with other just normal people, then rather business owners, you know, they want to coach people to maybe just be self-confident than rather doubting themselves, but they find it difficult.
And then actually they have a mindset block of their own. When it comes to sharing the message as to why would people listen to me on Facebook? Or why would people listen to me on Instagram? How would I go and audience? So then we will convert, you know, getting them on video, helping them understand what they want to share and why they want to connect with those people.
So we understand them and we help them clarify their message and all of these bits and pieces. So, yeah, what's the average timeframe, uh, when you work with somebody to build out or build all that out, So it depends. Some people have exploded and grown their audiences, even in timeframe, like say one month.
And some people it has taken say around, say five a month, six months, and some have taken around a year. So because sometimes it's more of the pushing them more because some have more controversial topics to talk about, but they're not actually okay to talk about them. So there are those start slow. With just first being visually present because they've never actually built a brand until now.
And then we slowly pushed them towards just, you know, not just being present, but talking about the controversial topics. And that's when it hits in because now. They are triggering people. So some people are getting turned off when then they start doubting that, okay. People are hating us, whether we should actually talk about this, but then we make them understand that you are rather just, you know, segmenting your audience and making sure you are connected with right people that sharing.
The exact message, which you want to share then rather being generic and just being, you know, someone who is talking about something random, which maybe they could get anywhere on social media or anywhere on Google or anything like that. Yeah. Why don't you talk about that a little bit more, because I know a lot of people, when they see certain influencers or people they fall on and they're really surprised by topics they talk about and.
A lot of people don't realize that that's intentional and they are intentionally repelling people and they are intentionally trying to, as you said, segment their audience because that contributes to the brand loyalty, because yes, it pushes certain people away. But, but the people that it resonates with that it doesn't push away, become more loyal to that person they're following.
Yeah. Yeah. Because see what happens is. How I look at things is we have a lot of people who are connected with us, right? But then there are people who are just going to be looking around they're people who are always want to engage with you. And then there are people who are just there to maybe find a certain moment where they can drag you down, you know, so they're going to be all right.
All kinds of people, people truly able to support you like crazy and people who are just analyzing I've had clients who have been literally just, you know, following me and checking my content and, you know, just absorbing what I've been sharing. Well, even time period, like two years, and then they started working with me, then they are, they hit like a breaking point where they are like, okay, that's it enough of this following this person, we'll try that.
I want to work with her. And then that's how I would actually get the results. So that's how, you know, sometimes people take more time. So this is what exactly we need to focus on. You know, not just being there, present, but also making sure. So like for instance, when I talk about business strategy, I'm not just talking about the overall strategy I am talking about, you know, what you can actually do to trigger your audience, how you can psychologically understand your audience in a certain way so that you connect with them and you trigger them so that once they are your clients, they will also be loyal to you.
Because I mean, that's also something which happens strategically, which people don't realize when you have converted a client. You have to build a certain relationship with them with a certain strategy so that they would be working with you over a long time period. So like for instance, here's an example.
People have a lot of people have product ladders value ladders, but how many people are they actually getting to purchase over the entire product ladder? How many people who did purchase or even grab the freebies are purchasing the entry-level product. I after the entry-level product being purchased, moving towards maybe the VA people product or, you know, so on and so forth, which people don't focus on much, but the more we focus on that the client would have more results because now he's not just working towards getting more leads, but he's also making profits from those who are already part of his sales ladder or, you know, value ladder and so on.
So that's what we also do. Focus on. Do you have an example of, you've mentioned a couple of times about tapping into your audience and connecting with them. Do you have just an example or two of a strategy that tends to work really well? So like for instance, if we have to talk about if someone is maybe, okay, here's an example.
So we have like maybe a brand strategist, right. And. When it comes to brand strategy, people are always gonna focus on the external aspects of a brand. They don't focus on the internal aspect of the brand, but then we have someone who we work with who talks about not disclose, but also the other aspects of their entire journey as well, which I have.
Uh, certain parts of the journey, which have been interesting, which most of the people would stop and go share, but they are open about it, which literally gets more people attracted towards the brand than rather repelling them. So they have a mix of both audience and then the trolls come and literally try and drag them down.
Those who love the brand and the person who is behind that brand. Instead of even the brand owner supporting and defending themselves the audience by default gangs and defense, the entire person who is behind that brand, we've had people like that. And in fact, we are working with that person who I'm actually mentioning right now.
So this happens only when you have a certain level of brand loyalty among your own audience. And there's one more thing. So like, All of the people from her audience and not her clients, you know, but they are right now audience. And at certain point of time, they are going to start chasing some of the other product and go to the other letter because she has the most interesting results because even when it comes to people entering her ladder, they do always climb up.
And then when they do the make, they are all, there are people who are in her membership for more than silica. Four years, three years by now. And they have still, they look forward to still being there because they love the entire community, the person behind it, and the newbies who are joining in Israel.
So yeah, Charles are an interesting topic. So what do you do? So that makes a lot of sense when the, the audience is loyal to the person and it will defend them. But do you have any advice for. Early influencers, early people that are early on in building their audience. They may not have a large audience yet, and they get hit with a troll in the early stage.
And understandably, that is scary and intimidating. Um, what would you advise to somebody that experiences their troll for the first time? So, yeah, that's the thing when someone's trolling you, because I've been trolled. So. Uh, huh. Like literally when we used to do, I mean, when I used to do livestream on Periscope, I don't live stream on Periscope anymore.
So I used to get a lot of trolls there. And what happens is you can see the mindset behind what's happened. I mean, the way the troll reacts, you can understand why they're trolling you either. There's a reason they are maybe somewhere, some. Some reason they stop on something else. And they're just, you know, that anger is being unintentionally targeted towards you.
So it's more, you know, it would be more better if you don't disrupt them and just understand them and help them out. And I've had people who literally told me, and when I did have a conversation, even on a live video, just when they were commenting and trolling me and I was replying back and having a conversation with them.
On the live stream, they can go from being a troll to someone who now still is connected with me on Facebook, because we had that canalization then me rather just, you know, ignoring them. So sometimes just try and understand them by their trolling you, or if sometimes there are people who are literally like, you know, just trolling you because they don't have anything else to do.
And that's exactly what they do every single day. Just ignore them. There's no point in wasting your energy behind those people who are not worth it, as simple as that. So just make wise decision as to who you want to invest your time in. Because when we are building an audience, we are still investing at time.
And that time is also precious for the person who we are investing that time in and for us as well as we got to make. And we should always make smart decisions about it. Is there kind of a rule for what platforms are better for different types of audiences. So depending on who you're working with, do you usually start with one platform versus another?
So basically, yeah, it depends like if they are, or if someone is. Literally targeting more of, you know, like people who are in the age group of say 20 to 23. I mean, not 22, seemingly 30, 35. I would say start with Instagram first because this age group is most active on Instagram. So if you're targeting people between that age group, Start with Instagram, the more visual, because obviously Instagram is more of a visual content and, you know, with the, and always when it comes to Instagram, you just don't have to be visual.
You also have to be slightly entertaining. So whether you are creating stories, whether you are creating, now we have reels to short videos or whether you are creating even just images, have that. You know, so it's more about not just grabbing the attention, but making sure that you can keep up with the attention you've grabbed.
Because right now, most of the people, what they focus on is just grabbing someone's attention. When you know, the content is being scrolled on the feed, but then the quality should be there so that once they've stopped and they are investing or even see, maybe they're investing five seconds, 10 seconds.
Then they read it. It's so interesting. And it's so triggering. I mean, the word trigger to be really too has a lot of negative connotation with it, which rather it's more positive. So when I say trigger, it's not that I'm meaning someone literally gets triggered in such a way that they are angry about it, but trigger means a certain neurological response that we want to stay.
You want to read the more they come across the content from that certain person. They want to not just follow them, but also engage with them because getting a light is easy. Maybe someone reading your posts once, twice thrice is easy, but to get them to comment on your content is something which needs a lot more effort now than it used to need.
Maybe some time prior for now. And then to those who have a good audience on Instagram, a very. So Facebook has similar audience to Instagram as well. So those who have the audience on Instagram can next move towards Facebook to build the audience. And if they have budget ban and run ads, because sometimes people think you are just getting started, maybe just get started with running ads and you would build a lot of audience.
That's not how it works when you're running ads. And you don't have an when engaged posts already, which is running an ad or which has been shown to people, people are not going to react to it. So always have your first, like inner audience built up, then run ads, whether you're running them on Instagram, that you're running them on Facebook because that's how more people would look for it because.
There's always that fear of missing out, oh, this is on my feet. This already has a lot of engagement. Let me check what exactly it is. And then people will decide whether they want to engage with it, whether they want to sign up for the freebie, whether they want to check out the virtual summit, which ad they are maybe checking out at the moment.
So there's always a lot of, you know, questioning that's happening in someone's mind before they would take any decision, whether it's a free purchase. And even if someone is grabbing a baby, I look at it as a bird chase because it's simple. They chose to get that product from you, whether it was even for free, because we don't want clutter on an email list.
Right. I mean, we choose to subscribe to something for a reason, or if we don't. Then that's something which did not excite us that much. And that's the reason why we did not subscribe for it. So we should look at it as a purchase as well is what, how and how I look at it. And I tell my clients to look at it as well.
So back on, on the audience thing. So what you're saying is it's better to have enough. I forgot to talk about LinkedIn. Sorry. Sorry to cut you off. So when it comes to LinkedIn, it's more like an also when you are on LinkedIn, people think that it's more, that you have to be polished and you have to present yourself a certain way.
I don't think that's how it is because it's more about you presenting yourself the way you are. I've seen people with pink hair billing, amazing brands on LinkedIn and being on TEDx stages and actually, you know, Literally growing like an amazing seven figure eight figure business. So they are on LinkedIn.
They are building their brands. It's not that you have to present yourself in a formal, certain way to be on LinkedIn. It's just that if you are on LinkedIn, Make sure that you have that certain audience who you are aiming for. So whether you are being specific and if you're just targeting for maybe corporates, then, you know, make sure you are connecting with corporates.
If you are on LinkedIn to just maybe, you know, go for more PR and connect with people who are in VR. So then focus on that. So it's more about, what's your focus for LinkedIn? Focus on that, connect with the people according to that and build relationships to better. Any platform you're present on that space, whether it's Instagram, whether it's LinkedIn, it's all about building relationships.
The only social media platform. Where I see people get amazing results without having any relationship with the audience is interesting because it's more of a search engine than rather social media platforms. It works slightly differently than other social media platforms. And that's the reason why the results there are different.
And even the strategies there are different than other social media platforms. Yeah, that makes sense. Because on Pinterest, like you said, it's a search engine, so they're just looking for a solution. Now, what I was going to ask about audiences was, um, so it sounds like, as you said, don't necessarily go straight into ads because if you have an audience first, they will engage on your ads more, which will give you a bigger reach for lower costs.
Is that right? Yep. Okay. And it would connect with, and it would reach the right people as well, because it's, when you are setting ads, you have the option where you can make sure that those were already engaging with the posts. Similar audience is already been reached. So you can set that up. So, you know, you get that similar subset already being attracted and the ad gets a literally.
Shown by the algorithm to the right people because already right. People are engaging with your content. So that makes even more sense. And as a larger ROI, because now we have a reason to engage and they are getting the right content, which they need at the moment. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. All right. So Sushmita Jane.
I want to thank you for your time. I want to give you the last few moments to tell our audience how they can find out more about you. So you can connect with me on LinkedIn. You can connect with me on Facebook as well. I mean, all I have is, you know, these amazing platforms where we can start amazing conversations and get to know each other.
Very cool. Thanks for jumping on learning from others. Anytime.

China Milk Tainted with Melamine Again - Are We at Risk?
(CBS/AP) Milk it does a body good - unless it's the melamine-flavored kind from China.
Last month, Chinese officials discovered 76 tons of milk powder and dairy products laced with deadly melamine - an industrial chemical unscrupulous milk processors were accused of adding to watered-down milk to make it appear rich in protein in quality tests.
These quality tests measure nitrogen, which is found in both melamine and protein.
But while protein builds strong bodies, melamine can give you kidney stones and kidney damage.
It can also kill children.
In 2008, melamine-tainted milk killed six babies and sickened 300,000 children. Dozens of people were arrested in the wake of the scandal, and two workers - a dairy farmer and a milk salesmen - were executed for producing and selling toxic milk.
This most recent scandal appears to stem from milk products left over from 2008.
The recently-seized dairy was probably produced in or before 2008 and stockpiled instead of destroyed say state media and food safety experts.
The Chinese government ordered tens of thousands of milk products tainted with the deadly industrial chemical to be burned or buried. It appears that those orders were not completely carried out.
"It is crucial to account for the amount that was contaminated back in 2008 and make sure it is being destroyed or disposed of safely," said Dr. Peter Ben Embarek, a World Health Organization senior scientist on food safety based in Beijing. "As long as part of it is still not accounted for, or destroyed properly, we will unfortunately see these types of things happening again."
In 2007, Chinese-made pet food sold in United States sickened thousands of dogs and cats, killing some of them, leading to the biggest pet food recall ever, reported the New York Times.
In 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration "expanded its checks" for melamine-contaminated food products from Chinato include candy and other items, a spokeswoman told Reuters.
"The FDA has expanded its Asian market sampling and import surveillance assignments to include additional products such as dairy-based candies, dairy-based desserts and other such products reported to the agency as having been tested in other countries and found positive for melamine or its analogs," FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Kwisnek told the wire service.
"We are testing and we continue to test the products. So far, the FDA has not found any positive samples in the products it has tested."

VW unveils the all-electric autonomous Microbus of the future
Written by Marc Carter
News Transportation Electric Vehicles
The VW Microbus is one of the most loved VW models of all time, and now, after years of releasing nothing but concepts, it looks like the automaker is finally ready to release a new Microbus. The new I.D. Buzz was recently unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show.
The I.D. Buzz concept follows the debut of the I.D. electric concept unveiled a few months ago at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. Based on the same MEB platform as the I.D. hatchback, the new Microbus dubbed the MEB-XL has been extended, providing enough room for up to eight passengers and two luggage compartments.
Related: VW's new electric car goes further and costs less than the Tesla 3
Just like the I.D. hatchback, the I.D. Buzz is powered by an all-electric powertrain. In this concept the electric powertrain consists of two electric motors, one at the front axle and one at the rear to generate a total of 369 horsepower. The concept has a driving range of 270 miles and with a 0-60 mph time of about five seconds, the I.D. Buzz concept will out accelerate every other van on the market and even most sports cars. Lastly the 111 kWh battery can be charged up to 80 percent within 30 minutes using the Combined Charging System (CCS) or an inductive charging interface.
The I.D. Buzz concept is also the world's first fully autonomous multi-purpose vehicle. A slight push on the steering wheel makes it retract and merge into the instrument panel, switching the concept to the fully autonomous "I.D. Pilot" mode that could make it into production by 2025. In I.D Pilot mode, the concept detects other drivers and obstacles on the road with laser sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, side area view cameras and a front camera.

Are there instructions for importing a Maven project containing GWT and then using WindowBuilder Editor?  Or does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

A: Your designer version does not support gwt-2.7.0, try downgrading your version of gwt, I think to 2.5.x.
It seems that this commit broke the designer because it changed a signature method that it needs for loading a module, might be this is not the only breakage.
The status of the designer is not quite clear right now, there is no maintainer for it so it is not receiving updates, and probably it would be discontinued if there is no community initiative.

Drawing the Lady Gaga Line at Dead Bodies
By Ryan Tedder June 24, 2010 at 1:06pm · 7 comments
Lady Gaga, who turned into a bloody tampon for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards supposedly wants corpses on stage with her in the style of Body Worlds. M.I.A. wanted to address a crowd invited by Jimmy Choo and H&M, for which she was paid $150,000," wearing a costume made "out of loads of blown-up body parts and go as an explosion." Okay, ladies, enough.

Is she requesting for REAL corpses? Gaga has officially gone gaga.

M.H
She's clearly running out of ideas. How many crazy costumes can she wear before it becomes a tired routine? Nothing she can do is going to excite me at this point. If you base your career on wearing silly outfits and acting strange, theres only so much you can do before people are going to get bored of you. Real corpses? Wow Gaga, that is like so cool at edgy…*Yawn* NOT
GaGa, M.I.A., AND corpses?! Count me in!
Seriously?! The source is from The Sun. That alone is enough to tell you this rumor is absolute bullsh*t. The Sun is more like a tabloid than a credible news source. Earlier they posted how she chopped off her limbs for her tour or something like that and umm the last time I checked her limbs are still working properly.
Who the f#*& is this freak? and why is it so famous?
My "being over Lady Gaga" is growing very fast…

You bitchs can at least not dislike her for her support of the gay community, you dont have to like her or her music but a least rescpect her and be nice because she supports us. Personally i think she can do wrong and i love her music and she will never get old to me.
