We hear from a lot of business owners who want their logo put on all their packaging. They want everything from takeout bags to plastic cups to bear their business name. And we can't blame them – it's excellent marketing! But it isn't always economical for a start-up company to brand each piece of packaging with a logo. Whether it's a matter of initial costs or the required minimums, we understand that there need for more options in branding. That's why we love custom-printed stickers.
One of the things that makes branded labels so popular is that they're versatile. For example, we works with a fast casual restaurant who uses printed labels. They slap their labels on takeout salad and poke bowls as well as prepared food containers and paper takeout bags. They found the minimum number of units required to print their clear salad bowls was more than what they needed. After some brainstorming we realized their other packaging was plain and un-printed, just begging to be branded. It wasn't long before we discovered that custom printed stickers was the best solution. The owner was able to put them on nearly all his packaging, creating moving billboards on each order that left his restaurant.
Since the minimum to print is low, and the required storage space for stickers is hardly anything, it's easy for new companies to invest in this type of branding. Branded labels allow companies to get their name out there onto a lot of items and in front of a lot of potential customers, without the commitment needed for, say, printed plastic takeout bags. Plus printing capabilities for stickers are quite remarkable, which means a label that is a true representation of your company's logo design.
Adhering a sticker to everything that is going out the door takes a little bit of extra time and effort. And there will come a time when it'll make sense to progress into printed cups, tissue, wraps, boxes, and bags. Until then, stickers are a great way to help start-ups to begin branding their food packaging early in their business development.
Think labels are right for you and your business? Then give our Packaging Advisors a call. They can chat with you about different options. They can be reached at 888-321-2248, Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 6 pm EST.

Die ehemalige Caserma del Littorio (dt.: Littorio-Kaserne) ist ein Gebäude aus dem Ende der 1920er-Jahre im Zentrum von Ferrara in der italienischen Region Emilia-Romagna. Es liegt an der Ecke der Via degli Spadari und der Via Fausto Beretta.

Geschichte und heutige Nutzung

Wie auf einer Erinnerungstafel an der Fassade zur Via degli Spadari hin gezeigt, wurde die Kaserne an der Stelle gebaut, an der früher das Kloster San Domenico stand. Heute noch steht neben der ehemaligen Kaserne die Kirche gleichen Namens.

Die Kaserne wurde im Dezember 1936 in Anwesenheit von Edmondo Rossoni eingeweiht.

Das Gebäude wurde im Rahmen der Stadterneuerung errichtet, die später "Addizione Novecentista" (dt.: Zubauten aus dem 20. Jahrhundert) genannt wurden, und war ein Ergebnis der Maßnahmen, die die Stadtverwaltung unter der Leitung des Bürgermeisters Renzo Ravenna einleitete, um der Stadt ein modernes Gepräge zu verleihen, die Besatzung zu unterstützen und den Wünschen von Italo Balbo zu folgen, Ferrara zum alten Glanz unter den Estes zurückzuführen. Bei diesem Entwurf kam erhebliche Unterstützung auch vonseiten des Corriere Padano, damals unter der Leitung von Nello Quilici.

Heute sind in dem Gebäude verschiedene Büros der Stadtverwaltung untergebracht.

Beschreibung

Das Gebäude wurde im typischen Stil des italienischen Rationalismus gebaut, um eine Servicefunktion zu erfüllen. Die Vorhallen des alten Klosters wurden erhalten; man kann sie heute noch sehen. Einige architektonische Details, die sehr typisch für den Faschismus waren, wurden später entfernt, wie z. B. der Eingang zur Kaserne neben der Kirche San Domenico. Das Gebäude besteht sich noch heute in seiner originalen Größe mit seinen originalen Proportionen.

However, these cute balloon animal items are meant to be re-used, reworn, and displayed for years to come! If you're got a soft spot for balloon animals, check out my gift guide on all the best items to get! We've got jewelry, clothing, statues, piggy banks and more!
Am I alone in this obsession with balloon animals? I just love them! What do you think about balloon animals? Love em? Hate em? Let me know in the comments below!
One of my favorite parts about blogging has become photography. I love seeing my DIY ideas come to life through my tutorials. I imagine people seeing the photo on Pinterest or Instagram, getting that excited feeling in their chest, and excitedly clicking on the link to see more. I remember the days before I had a blog, going onto Pinterest for hours and browsing all the amazing ideas on there. I also remember wishing I could have my projects on there too. The fact was though, my photos were NOT good enough to be on Pinterest. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I didn't want to be up there unless I could be as good as everyone else. I knew my craft ideas were good enough, but my photos were not.
I had a few skills I had learned over the years, including some from an intro to photography summer course in college. We learned a bit about the features of the camera, but we only used auto mode, and were told never to use flash. The class focused on teaching us about the composition of a photo (and what makes a good one) rather than really getting into the nitty gritty of how to use the camera. So while I took some really cool photos in this class, I found that my skills were really only good for taking cool photos outdoors.
When I started working on my blog around April of 2016, I used a few of my basic skills to take my first set of photos. Now, while the photos weren't necessarily bad, they weren't good either! They were dark, unevenly lit, and a bit blurry too. Not exactly the makings of a professional blogger! While they say comparison is the thief of joy, for me it was the catalyst to improve my photos...Right away. I upgraded all my equipment and finally started to see some major changes in my blog photos.
Since I had a very limited budget for my photography upgrades, I found some decent equipment (mostly on amazon!) and made the most of it. I have to say though, these upgrades, along with new editing skills, took my photography game to a whoooole 'nother level. So, without further adieu, here's what I use (and love) for my blog photography.
Backdrop Stand- Since my attic has some lovely sloped walls, I needed something to give the illusion that they were totally normal, flat walls. I decided the easiest and probably cheapest solution was to go with one of these backdrop stands. It's been helpful for so many posts in conjunction with a seamless vinyl backdrop. I used to put it up only when I needed to take pics, but since I have the space, I just keep it up all the time. Sometimes I trip over it (ugh) but it's worth it to have the photo studio ready to go at any moment. This set comes with fabric backdrops, but I use a vinyl one which doesn't have wrinkles. See below for that!
Softbox Lights- In my honest opinion, these have been the most helpful change I made to my photo setup. Before I bought these lights, I couldn't take bright, evenly lit photos no matter how hard I tried. I was rejected from craft sites due to my photos and I didn't understand how I could possibly fix it, until I started using these lights. They are seriously a game changer, and they do fold down pretty small, so they can be stored in a closet or something. If you're serious about photography, I highly recommend getting them and finding a place to store them. I also suggest buying an extra set of bulbs. I accidentally knocked my lamp over and shattered a bulb and couldn't work for a few days while I waited for the replacement!
Seamless Vinyl Backdrop- This seamless vinyl backdrop is perfect for using as a backdrop on photos! I've used it for DIY's with larger items like my Cricut and for photos of myself. It's most useful for party posts, because my studio is in the attic with sloped walls, which don't look fab in photos.
White Backdrop - for small desktop items, I purchased this small white backdrop. I put it on my desk/folding table to have a crisp white surface for photos. It's easy to clean and reusable, so it's perfect for craft projects. I do recommend covering it if you're doing something really messy though. One time I spilled oil paint on it and the stain couldn't be cleaned. But, for everyday stuff like glue, acrylic paint, or glitter, it's perfect!
Desk/folding table- To take all these photos, you'll need a nice, empty surface. I recommend having a dedicated desk for photos if you have the room. Otherwise, purchase a folding table so that you can have a dedicated surface when you need it, then put it away when you're done. Don't go too cheap with a folding table, because you don't want it to tip sideways or fall over if you accidentally bump it. This folding table is cool because the height adjusts!
Canon Eos Rebel T6- In December 2016, I switched to this camera and it made a huge difference! This camera packs a lot of bang for your buck and it's a nice size. I didn't have a huge budget, so I use the 18-55mm lens it came with. Somewhere down the line, I hope to get a fancier lens, but this one works just fine for now. I hoarded gift cards for a while to buy this camera! If you've got a gift-giving occasion coming up (Christmas, birthday, graduation) be sure to spread the word that there's a camera you've got your eye on, and that all you really want is some assistance to purchase it! Or, have a family member (like a sibling or husband) suggest Visa/Mastercard gift cards to family members so that you can purchase it. If there's a will, there's a way.
Adobe Cloud- Aside from using Photoshop to edit photos (which works amazingly!) I use Bridge to sort my photos and Lightroom to do a tethered capture. This allows me to see my photos on my laptop screen and be able to assess them before I need to edit them! Since I'm usually doing DIY posts, my camera is way up and I can't see the viewfinder or screen at all. For only 10 bucks a month, these programs have made a world of difference for me!
Horizontal Camera Mount- ok DIY bloggers, this one is going to blow your mind!! You honestly need this if you're doing overhead shots! It's perfect for recipes, step by step tutorials, party setups, or any type of flatlay you can imagine. It's lightweight and perfect for getting a shot with your hands in it!
Seamless Backdrop Paper- I purchased some backdrop paper in Tulip and Baby Blue and I want all the colors now! it's great for changing up the look of your photos or even your room. I used it for my Pink Disco NYE Party and my Polly Pocket Iron On Tee pics. It's not super cheap, but it comes with quite a bit of it!
Lens Cleaning Wipes- These are amazing for cleaning your camera lens, laptop screen, or even your cell phone. They don't leave streaks, dry quickly, and are lint-free. Plus, since they're individually wrapped, you can pop them in your camera, purse, laptop bag, desk... anywhere you may find yourself needing a screen wipe!
Mouse & Keyboard- When I use my laptop, I usually use it on my lap (hah) and use the trackpad to get everything done. But, when I'm taking photos, I use the tethered capture and have my laptop across the desk from me. So, I use the mouse to get everything done! I use it to click open apps, zoom in, and press the button on Lightroom to actually take the photo. The keyboard is obviously used for typing, but it's also good for zooming into pics with the space bar, or for rotating images without needing to right click and squint to see the options.
Inexpensive Tripod- If you're just getting started, I recommend starting out with an inexpensive tripod. I used this one for months while I browsed Ebay to find an affordable fancier one. But honestly, this one did a great job! It was able to hold my horizontal camera mount, and was perfect for taking photos horizontally. I mostly upgraded because I wanted to get a camera mount to take vertical headshots and photos.
Wrapping Paper- For smaller items or messy craft projects, I like to use some cheap wrapping paper to add a pop of color. It's easy to throw away and cheap enough that I don't mind. I buy mine at the dollar tree, but you can find them almost anywhere. I recommend something slightly matte so that it doesn't reflect too much of the item on it.
So, there you have it. My favorite photography items for beginners and bloggers! What are your must-haves for your photos? Did I miss anything? Any questions I can answer? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy (day after) International Women's Day! Today I wanted to spend some time highlighting some of my fave female business owners! There are so so soooo many amazing women out there doing a variety of things, but I wanted to highlight my fave small business/shop owners! These ladies make and curate some amazing content and I felt it was only fair to give them a shout out on this holiday. So, get that credit card ready- you're gonna want to support these ladies!!
Joy/ OhJoy!- I've loved Joy's items from the very first time I saw them at Target. I've probably wanted every single piece! She's now also got an awesome shop chock full of goodies, a furniture line, luggage (!!) as well as a Cheeky collection at Target!
Veronica/Sharptooth Snail -Veronica is a personal friend of mine that I met online through a class I took! Aside from being the most amazingly helpful person, she's got an awesome geeky-cool shop filled with pins, resin figurines, and T-shirts. Oh, and did you know her work was used by NASA?!? Pretty freakin amazing!
Kelly/Studio DIY- Kelly's shop is filled with all kids of colorful, happy items! There's so much to choose from, but my favorite has to be her Can't Clutch This subscription! As a kid, I never had enough money for monthly subscription boxes, so this totally makes my day every time it arrives!
Kara/Kailo Chic -Kara had got to be one of the busiest little bees I've ever seen! She's always releasing new blog content, along with both handmade and designed items. I love everything she does, and I'm personally in awe of how she gets it all done so quickly! If you're into confetti housewares and colorful throw pillows (who isn't...?) you've got to visit her shop!
Ashley/Sugar & Cloth- Aside from her cutest creation, little baby Gwen, Ashley launched a gorgeous collection with Amazon!! If that's not goals, I'm not sure what is! Some of her items sold out immediately and I'm not surprised- they're gorgeous!
Caren/Caren Kinne Artwork- Caren's abstract, colorful paintings are the perfect addition to any space that needs a little excitement! Her fun figures are often based on real people, and to me they're reminiscent of the Little Miss Sunshine- type books from when I was a kid. If artwork isn't your think (who are you?!)

Jenni & Leah/Love & Lion- Taking temporary tattoos to. Whole new (adult) level! I love all their amazing designs and they even do custom tattoos too!

Marisa/The Neon Tea Party- I met this sweet little lady at a NYC meetup with Jeff and Kelly of StudioDIY. I actually thought she was someone else but my opening line to her was "do you make jewelry?!" Interestingly enough, she did! I really love her fun Pom Pom arts but if you're itching to learn, she teaches classes in NYC too!
Emma & Elsie/ABM & Oui Fresh- ok, what don't these girls do? They've got their Oui Fresh Shop, happy mail, natural makeup and essential oils line, cookbooks, an app!!
Mary/Uncustomary Love- despite the fact that she's a child of the rainbow, Mary spouts positivity in all the best ways! From a stuffed animal slumber party to sending snail mail, her shop is full of quirky and amazing things you can't find anywhere else. One of her best offerings has to be her body positivity course! In a world where we are taught to hate our bodies, it's so important to give it some love.
Amber/Dixie and Twine- from banners with all the trendiest sayings to adorable confetti, Amber's ship has everything you need to make your party hip! Plus, you gotta love her amazing product photography!
Abbey/Daily Disco- If ever there was something that seemed like a fun hobby-turned-career, this is it! Abbey's chainstitch embroidery is colorful, cool, and coveted!

My favorite things from her shop have to be her little cactus plants! I kill every plant I get, so having something that can't die seems perfect! She's also a huge Harry Potter fan and makes all sorts of adorable amigurumi animals, characters and monsters.

Geek Coding – Best 5 Facts To Know
Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2022
Geek coding is the practice of using a specific code in order to communicate with other "geeks". Geek coding was invented in 1993 and is used by self-proclaimed "geeks" to communicate with others. The Geek Code is a collection of letters and symbols which encode everything that makes an individual a geek.
Code of the Geeks
Qualifiers for geek coding
The Geek Code is a series of letters and symbols developed by self-described "geeks" to communicate with fellow geeks. These symbols encode everything that makes an individual a geek. The Geek Code was developed in 1993. Today, it is used by self-described "geeks" all over the world.
The Geek Code website has categories for everyone from novices to professionals. It includes articles, code snippets, open source projects, and daily news from domain experts. It also has special syntax options. You can search for topics based on what's relevant to you or your team. The website also includes categories for hobbies, appearance, computers, politics, and other interests.
Hayden created the Geek Code in 1993. He is already working on a new version, taking the feedback he has received from his users. He reads over one thousand e-mails and is making changes based on the feedback. For example, he has added or removed cultural icons that are no longer relevant. For example, an early version of the Geek Code asked about whether or not a person liked Barney, whereas it now shows whether or not a person wears glasses or carries several pens in their pocket. Hayden initially considered removing questions related to appearance, but a loud Net protest nixed the idea.
Geeks come in all different varieties. They can be tech savvy, computer nerds, nerdy, and everything in between. The key to being a geek is to declare your geek identity. Start your code with "G", and then add one or two letters that represent your vocation. If you're a multi-talented geek, you should add a slash between each vocation.
Geek code is a set of letters and symbols that self-identified geeks use to communicate with each other. It is designed to capture the characteristics of a geek, so that other geeks can read it and work backwards to discover what the writer is interested in. In this way, geek code is efficient in a geeky way.
Computer geeks had a huge impact on the evolution of the field. Their amateur fair exhibits led to a cumulative increase in knowledge. Steve Jobs was among the early computer geeks. His 1984 Macintosh computer, which was developed by Apple, was praised by Consumer Reports. However, not all of the world's geeks were computer whiz kids.
While geeks and nerds are often considered undesirable by many, society is growing more tolerant of their abilities and interests. It is no longer considered a bad thing to be an IT geek. Rather, it is becoming a badge of honor for those with high computer skills and a passion for new technologies.
As computer programming became a necessary part of many businesses in the 1990s, a distinct subculture of computer geeks emerged. This group developed their own culture and lingo, and came to be associated with a specific kind of knowledge and behavior. Geeks were perceived as having limited social skills, but great technical expertise. This perception was reinforced by the media portrayal of computer geeks.
Geek code is a language for geeks that began in 1993. It's based on earlier style and sexual preference codes. It has since spawned imitators, such as Saturn geek code for people who own Saturn cars. The concept is so popular that people are now using it in their online chats and chat rooms.
One of the most popular toys for geek coding is the LEGO Mindstorms kit. This kit allows young people to create robots with the help of sensors. The kit contains everything a child needs to create a fully functional android. The kit is educational and makes learning about the basics of robotics a fun experience. It's also a great way to teach children about coding.
Geeks who love video games, computer science, and other subjects will also love toys that are geared towards their interests. The '90s were a great time for kids to play with technology, and toys and games were no exception. The '90s also had a great selection of toys, from the SuperSoakers to the Bop It! Extreme. The Star Wars Furbacca kit is another classic toy for geeks.
A rubber duck is also a useful gift. A good coder will appreciate a rubber duck when troubleshooting his code. Debugging a piece of code with a rubber duck is fun and entertaining, and will help you remember where you started. It will also protect your computer's desk from condensation. It also reminds the techie of their roots.
Geek coding is a genre of computer coding that uses a particular format to specify geekiness. Each category is labeled with an initial letter and a series of qualifiers that describe the geek's specific personality traits. The geek must determine the qualifiers that fit their unique personality traits and submit the completed form. The result is geek code, which can be used by other geeks to identify their geekiness.

On March 31, 1992, Bruce Springsteen released two albums, Human Touch and Lucky Town. It was similar to what Guns N' Roses had done six months earlier with the Use Your Illusion records, but while Guns N' Roses simply split up what could have been a traditional double album into two parts, Springsteen created two separate listening experiences, with different musicians and production approaches.
Human Touch was created with Los Angeles studio pros like drummer Jeff Porcaro and bassist Randy Jackson, and sounded very much like an overthought studio creation. But Springsteen played nearly everything except drums on Lucky Town, and it has a much looser, natural and spontaneous feel to it.
But, as is often the case when an artist spreads his work across two discs, too much of the material is substandard, and would have made for a much more enjoyable single record. As we did with Use Your Illusion, we've asked four of our writers to do the editing job that Springsteen should have done. Interestingly, three of them chose the same song to begin and conclude the album. Check out their choices below.
Dave Lifton -- For starters, I've named the single album Living Proof, after the best song he wrote at the time. Given how much better Lucky Town is than Human Touch, I was surprised to see that my track listing is almost evenly split, with seven of the 12 tracks coming from Lucky Town. That just shows how "Gloria's Eyes," "The Long Goodbye" and "Real Man" -- a candidate for the worst song he's ever released -- dragged down the rest of Human Touch. Still, "Leap of Faith" came close to replacing "Roll of the Dice," and "Soul Driver" almost made it solely on the strength of the line "Here's to our destruction." Also, in my head, it's all being performed by the E Street Band, except for "Real World," which is a solo piano rendition similar to when he premiered it at the Christic Institute shows in 1990.
4. "If I Should Fall Behind"
6. "Roll of the Dice "
3. "I Wish I Were Blind"
Michael Gallucci -- My first inclination was to divide this new album equally between the two released records: Side A - Human Touch songs, Side B - Lucky Town. But after revisiting Human Touch, I realized why I always considered this one of Springsteen's weakest albums. So for my revised track listing, only three songs from Human Touch survived: the title track (the album's best cut by far), the modern blues "57 Channels (And Nothin' On)" and the traditional number "Pony Boy," an effortless antidote to the rest of the overly labored LP. Lucky Town makes up the remainder of this new album, with the relatively loose title track kicking off Side B, and the equally rousing "Better Days" following the album's "Human Touch" opening. The poignant "My Beautiful Reward," which ends Lucky Town, also serves as an appropriate closer here too. My 10-track, less-than-40-minutes offering doesn't exactly salvage these shunned 1992 albums (in truth, a five-song EP is really all you need here), but it skims off the dead weight and tightens up the end result.
7. "57 Channels (And Nothin' On)"
Debra Filcman -- In recent years Springsteen has let us see not only what a masterpiece looks like, but how he shapes one: why he scrapped this chorus, double-dipped on that lyric or whittled more than 70 songs down to a single, laser-focused album. It's a joy for fans, and especially writers, to observe the editing process. Which is why the double release of Human Touch and Lucky Town stings. What happened to the relentless editor? The thematic genius? I suppose he was busy, falling in and out of love (not necessarily in that order) and starting a family, so here we are. As it happens, Lucky Town is a terrific record on its own — though not his peak performance, and regrettably missing more than half of the E Street Band — with a solid track listing that stays mostly on point. It's a happy album, on which he finally seems ready to recognize and appreciate his own success, as well as the family life he was building. "The Big Muddy" and "Souls of the Departed" are notable exceptions, and once we remove them and a couple of weaker links, we have room in the mix for Human Touch's brightest spots like the titular track and "I Wish I Were Blind." The sequencing progresses thematically from longing and despair to hope and happiness.
4. "I Wish I Were Blind"
6. "Roll of the Dice"
Matt Wardlaw -- The simultaneous arrival of Human Touch and Lucky Town felt like a really big deal because of how notoriously selective Springsteen is about the material he would release for public consumption. Listening to the two records, it was pretty clear that Springsteen, not surprisingly, had a certain story that he wanted to tell with each album. But in trimming the songs down to a single album, I wanted the first side to end with the lovely "I Wish I Were Blind" and the second side to wrap up with "My Beautiful Reward," which originally was the closing track on Lucky Town and also the same song that brought the live shows on this tour to an emotional conclusion. For the others, I took things in more of a rock direction over the more introspective songs he wrote at the time.

Gear heads, adrenaline junkies, they're all of the equivalent close to vehicles. You always must have the quickest one you might presumably presumably have correct? Correctly, luckily for you, we've got now generated an inventory of the 10 Most Quickest Automobiles In The World so all it is a should to do is take your select.
The first spot for quickest automotive on the earth is eternally altering. Car corporations proceed to aim to make the quickest doable automotive whether or not or not or not it is 0-60 or prime velocity. For this itemizing we decided we'd protect it confined to raw prime velocity. In any case, that's one of many essential attractive choices of these extremely efficient machines correct?
There's no doubt that a number of of the vehicles on this itemizing have been design to squeeze every ounce of power out of it. By the easiest way, these are manufacturing vehicles, not these with aftermarket turbos and superchargers, though, these are pretty insane and push the envelope, these on this itemizing can be found with no tampering involved. So, check out our itemizing of the 10 Most Quickest Automobiles In The World.
The lesser recognized Noble M600 won't always be talked about with vehicles identical to the Bugatti nonetheless its 225 mph truly makes it worth noting in our itemizing of the world's quickest vehicles.
Similar to the Noble M600 talked about above, the Zento STI is a form of vehicles that you will have on no account heard of nonetheless nonetheless manages to shock you when you uncover out it cranks out 233 mph.
The McLaren F1 is definitely one in all many oldest members of this itemizing nonetheless at 240 mph, it stood as a turning degree in what automobiles might very effectively be succesful when it first seen manufacturing inside the late 90s.
At 245 mph the Koegnigsegg CCX is also fast nonetheless the agency has a model new massive boy on the block that you just'll meet shortly inside the itemizing.
The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is probably going one of many older members of the the world's quickest vehicles nonetheless at 248 mph who can argue with it nonetheless gracing the itemizing years after it was first produced?
The SSC Ultimate Aero is one different one in all many lesser recognized makes nonetheless it churns out a whopping 256 mph.
The Koenigsegg Agera has a main velocity of 260 mph and is a mouthful to pronounce, nonetheless, it is up there with a number of of the quickest vehicles on the earth and really holds its private.
The Bugatti Veyron bought right here alongside and set a model new commonplace for fast vehicles with a 265 mph prime velocity. However, it's since been up in opposition to a ton of rivals, along with it's youthful brother, the Chiron.
The Hennessey Venom GT as quickly as held the spot for the quickest automotive on the earth after an unprecedented 270 mph run, nonetheless, by the use of it's rivals with Bugatti, it bought right here up temporary.
The very best spot for the quickest automotive on the earth was wavering backwards and forwards between Bugatti and the aforementioned Hennessey Venom GT, nonetheless the Bugatti Chiron bought right here alongside and smashed the file with a main velocity of 288 mph.

Ivan Sviták (Hraničné, Moràvia, 10 d'octubre de 1925 - Praga, 20 d'octubre de 1994), va ser un filòsof, crític i poeta txec que es considera un dels promotors europeus més qualificats de l'humanisme marxista. En un gran treball d'assagista, Sviták va abordar qüestions de democràcia i socialisme, d'art en societats burocràtiques i de consum i de la "càrrega insuportable" de la catàstrofe política de la història txeca. A més, Sviták va escriure un extens cos literari de ficció i poesia, en què "buscava una unitat de filosofia, literatura i política, una unitat de compromís, saviesa i poesia". En aquesta labor, Sviták va seguir conscientment les petjades del moviment surrealista que va admirar i defensar críticament en nombroses ocasions. Aquests assajos sovint autoeditats per Svitak van ser recollits per Joseph Grim Feinberg i publicats en forma de llibre.

El 1956 va ser acusat de "revisionisme". A la dècada de 1960, Sviták va ser un dels defensors més notables del socialisme democràtic de Txecoslovàquia (distinció que va compartir amb Karel Kosík, l'altre filòsof humanista marxista de Txecoslovàquia). Va ser exclòs del Partit Comunista de Txecoslovàquia el 1964. Després de la invasió del Pacte de Varsòvia a Txecoslovàquia, l'agost de 1968, Svitàk va ser despullat de la seva ciutadania i condemnat a un llarg període de presó. En lloc de complir la pena de presó, va optar per emigrar, primer a la ciutat de Nova York i el 1970 a Chico, Califòrnia, on se li va oferir un lloc acadèmic. Sviták va treballar a Cal State Chico fins al 1990, quan va tornar a Txecoslovàquia després de la fi del govern del Partit Comunista. A principis dels anys 90, Sviták va seguir sent un ferm defensor del socialisme democràtic, convertint la seva ploma en una eina crítica cap al nou règim post-comunista, en la seva intenció de retornar al capitalisme privatitzant les empreses públiques. va ser elegit diputat al parlament txec per la coalició Bloc d'Esquerra  Va morir a Praga el 1994.

Bharti Airtel might not bid for 5G spectrum at current prices: Sunil Mittal
Updated : February 27, 2019 06:33 AM IST
He warned that spectrum auction may fail and Airtel might not bid for airwaves if auctions are held at prices
He said the industry is building infrastructure that is required for 5G services and the government has to extend support
The government must price spectrum reasonably and lower various levies to encourage rollout of 5G services in the country at the earliest, Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal said Tuesday. He also warned that spectrum auction may fail and Airtel might not bid for airwaves if auctions are held at prices recommended by sector regulator Trai.
"My recommendation is government must encourage 5G coming in India rather than being late. The government can help in giving more spectrum at a reasonable price," Mittal told reporters here.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) Monday recommended an auction of about 8,644 MHz of telecom frequencies at an estimated total base price of Rs 4.9 lakh crore, which includes radio waves for 5G services.
Mittal said for 5G every operator will require over 100 megahertz and frequencies in 3500 megahertz are likely to be preferred for the next generation services.
"DoT can keep trying. They had two failed auctions and do they want to have five more failed auctions after them. Spectrum is required, spectrum will be bought, India will get into 5G but the only thing that will stand in the way is right pricing for spectrum in India," Mittal said.
He said that high spectrum prices have been fixed by the government in the previous auction and high auction-determined prices are then taken as the base price for the next auction which has made airwaves very expensive.
He said that all equipment that currently being deployed by Airtel are 5G ready but high spectrum price will come in the way of rolling out services.
"You cannot have a situation where you want to benefit Digital India and you tax the most. Let's not get into a new dialogue you see new DCC (Digital Communications Commission) policy. What you have committed, do that," Mittal said.
The government has promised a reduction in levies on the telecom sector under the new telecom policy.
He said the industry is building infrastructure that is required for 5G services and the government has to extend support.
Mittal said that Airtel is using Huawei equipment in India and will run 5G trials with Nokia and Huawei.
When asked about security concerns raised by the US, Australia and other countries on Huawei equipment, he said, "We are not at that stage (from Indian govt side) where we see alarm bells ringing."
"In the end, Huawei is a big player in the telecom space. They have gone through a rough patch with the US. Europe has largely taken a decision that they will continue using Huawei. We are tracking this space very closely," Mittal mentioned.
Mittal said that Bharti Airtel wants to have it optical fibre company Telesonic Networks to be in place by March and it is in talks with Vodafone to join the company with its optic fibre network.
Talking about the current position of the telecom sector, Mittal said that after two-and-a-half years of difficulties there is a mixed situation with some opportunities and challenges.
"If you look at the situation before Jio entered the industry, the ARPU was Rs 200 and all we need to do is get back to that. We are not saying India needs to go levels where the world is," he said.
"If you get back from Rs 100 today, if you get back to Rs 200 the industry will become sustainable but Rs 300 will be an ideal situation," Mittal said.
He said that India is offering huge potential to grow revenue with 10-12 gigabit of average data consumption and a large population to scale up revenue.

The British Rail 1990s designed and built Class 365 electric train fleet is undergoing a transformation and passengers have just started to see the new trains in service. They operate on the Great Northern routes linking London Kings Cross, Cambridge, Kings Lynn and Peterborough and run at up to 100mph on commuter services.
The refurbishment of three of the 40-strong fleet has now been completed and are back in revenue earning service on First Capital Connect (FCC) services. Four of the trains carry colourful liveries advertising locations they serve while the others are in FCC livery. The refurbished trains are easy to see as they have been outshopped in a unique livery with no corporate branding because the franchise ends September.
The new franchisee will externally relivery these trains into their new brand and having a neutral background will avoid wasting money on 'double painting' the outside of the trains.
The original fleet was 41 trains but one, No. 365526 was derailed in the Potters Bar accident in 2003 and subsequently destroyed after nine years in storage, including the last few years at Wolverton Works. It was later destroyed at the secure MOD facility at Longtown in Carlisle. The train had to be stored in a secure location until all litigation and Coroner's reports had been completed, Wolverton Works had the space so it was stored there for several years.
The trains were due to be refurbished at Wolverton Works but when they entered Administration in July last year, the contract was retendered with Bombardier at Ilford winning the deal. Work started in January after the new contract was signed in November 2013.
The first train to undergo the 'refresh' was No. 365517 and the money is being spent upholstering seats, new carpets on the floor with interior and exterior repainting. Eversholt say that the trains will also be put through a major engineering overhaul to improve reliability and the complete fleet will take two years to be upgraded.
The trains already put through Ilford Works will return there later this year to have enhanced features retro-fitted for passengers with disabilities and mobility impairments. Others of the fleet will have these fitted as they go through Works as part of the project from this summer. A new fully automated passenger information system with audio and visual announcements will also be fitted.
David Statham, First Capital Connect Managing Director, said: "The upgraded train looks and feels like a new train and I am delighted our passengers can now enjoy a more comfortable and modern travel environment reaching several exciting destinations between London King's Cross and Cambridge, Peterborough, and King's Lynn.
Francis Paonessa, President, Rolling Stock & Services, Bombardier UK said: "Bombardier is pleased to be delivering the upgraded and modernised 365 units, providing increased comfort, reliability and accessibility for passengers travelling on the Great Northern route. Our team in Ilford have done an excellent job in delivering a quality product including a significant transformation of the passengers' environment, just 9 weeks after contract signature on November 7th."
It has since been announced that Mr Paonessa will be leaving Bombardier to join Network Rail in a few months. He will take up duties as Managing Director for Network Rail Infrastructure Projects at a salary reported to be £425,000.
When the project is complete, the trains will be compliant with the latest disability travel regulations with the installation of a pair of wheelchair bays, a wheelchair-accessible toilet with low level call-for aid facilities, better door grab-handles and new external door buttons.

Disruption and reaccretion of midsized moons during an outer solar system Late Heavy Bombardment
N. Movshovitz, F. Nimmo, D. G. Korycansky, E. Asphaug, J. M. Owen
We investigate the problem of satellite survival during a hypothetical Late Heavy Bombardment in the outer solar system, as predicted by the Nice model (Tsiganis, Gomes, Morbidelli,and Levison 2005, Nature 435). Using a Monte Carlo approach we calculate, for satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, the probability of experiencing a catastrophic collision during the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB). We find that Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, and Miranda experience at least one catastrophic impact in every simulation. Because reaccretion is expected to be rapid, these bodies will have emerged as scrambled mixtures of rock and ice. Tidal heating may have subsequently modified the latter three, but in the nominal LHB model Mimas should be a largely undifferentiated, homogeneous body. A differentiated Mimas would imply either that this body formed late or that the Nice model requires significant modification.

Current location: Russia and the Former Soviet Union in Global Politics
Russia and the Former Soviet Union in Global Politics (L2071S)
This module explores the international politics of post-Soviet Russia and the former Soviet space. After a period of relative decline in the 1990s, Russia has more recently been described as 'rising Great Power' and developments in the CIS have returned to the news - from 'gas wars' to the conflict between Russia and Georgia, from the 'democratic revolutions' in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan to the apparent erosion of democracy in Russia and talk of a "new Cold War" between Russia and the West.
These are developments with implications for Western Europe and beyond, touching on traditional and new security issues alike, and shedding light on the implications of Western democracy promotion and the role of norms and identity in contemporary global politics.
The module will investigate the background for and current development of international relations in the region - in particular Russia's status as great power, the 'colour revolutions' in Ukraine and Georgia and the 2008 war between Georgia and Russia, NATO and the US in the former Soviet space, the question of Europe's 'energy security' and its relations with Russia, and what has been called the 'new Great Game' between Russia, China and the US in Central Asia. In doing this, it will introduce relevant theoretical concepts related to foreign policy analysis and constructivist explanations of the role of norms and identity in the international politics of Russia and the FSU.

Does Edward Jones Hire Felons in 2020?
By Jelena Vuckovic Jobs For Felons
Edward Jones is a financial services firm focused on individual investors and small businesses. If you're a former felon looking for a new job, you might be wondering: Does Edward Jones hire felons? We thought you should know, so we asked them directly. We got information on things like:
How will your record impact your chances?
Does Edward Jones do background checks?
Skills and experience they require for entry-level jobs.
Does Edward Jones hire people with misdemeanors?
We'll also give you our best tips for your resume and the interview. Successful Release hires former felons or those who've worked closely with them to give you information that matters from people who know what they're talking about.
Edward Jones is headquartered in Missouri and mainly deals with US and Canadian clients. The company, founded by an Edward D. Jones in 1922, is fully owned by its retired and current employees. Is this something that interests you? We've got you covered.
Here's everything you need to know when applying at Edward Jones.
Does Edward Jones hire felons?
Official Company policy for hiring felons
We contacted Edward Jones directly. Here's what they said:
"Industry regulations do not allow us to hire past felons."
We'll be honest, that's not great. But know that this isn't universal: The FDIC has recently eased up on a number regulations barring felons from working in the financial sector — the law in place was found to be too discriminating.
This means that while a record related to dishonesty, breach of trust or money laundering can still bar you from working in a finance field, other offenses may not. For more information, read the full statement here.
Has Edward Jones hired felons in the past?
Considering the above, it is unlikely that Edward Jones has hired people with criminal records in the past. Not only that, but we don't have any firsthand accounts of them hiring former felons, either.
With a strict hiring policy such as they have, it is likely that people with misdemeanors are going to have a tougher time getting hired at Edward Jones.
Is Edward Jones on the Ban the Box list?
Ban the Box is a campaign started to help felons find work. The aim is to remove questions about an applicant's criminal record from the initial job application. Eleven states have adopted this as a law already, so you can't be asked about your record on the initial job application in California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington. More states will surely follow.
The Fair Chance Business Pledge is a similar idea: Businesses are encouraged to take the Pledge to help remove barriers former felons face in their search for a new job.
It may not be surprising that Edward Jones is not on the Ban the Box list and has not signed the Pledge. In a world where more and more people have criminal records, this may soon change — so if working for them is your dream, you can always do something else for a while and check back later.
Does Edward Jones have special programs for hiring felons?
No. There are many companies that do, but Edward Jones isn't one of them.
Remember to stay positive — you've got every reason to. Whether it's government resources or NGO initiatives like The Sentencing Project or Inmates to Entrepreneurs, there is plenty of help out there.
What are the odds someone with a felony will get hired?
Low, we've got to tell you. They have shown no effort in making it easier on felons to work there. Their policies are very strict, so it may not be possible to get a job at Edward jones with a felony on your record.
What are some entry-level jobs?
Edward Jones doesn't have many entry-level positions, so when does Edward Jones hire felons? Aside from working in their office, you're going to need to be specially skilled to work in the financial industry.
If you are looking for a job in the financial industry, you know you'll need to have good math skills. It may surprise you to know that many positions involve working with the public, sometimes in private or semi-private settings. Therefore, you'll also need good communication skills.
Look through their careers site and see what you're qualified for.
Rules change, so you never know. Besides, if you've only got a misdemeanor on your record, you might still be considered.
How to get hired at Edward Jones with a felony
Honestly, we may not be able to tell you how to get hired at Edward Jones. But we will say this: Just because a company states they won't hire felons does not mean you aren't allowed to apply.
If you do, make sure you mention your record as early as you can. You will avoid disappointment later in the process.
Write a great resume with our help, and maybe give them a call before sending it off.
Head out to a careers center nearby if you're feeling a little rusty on your interview skills. They'll look over your resume and ask you smart questions like, "Why is there a gap in your resume from this year to this year?" Practicing your answer to this can really help your chances in an interview.
You also need to practice answering questions about your record so you can control the conversation about it.
But in case things don't work out, don't worry: There are a large number of options left for you. You can apply at one of the other places we list on our site, such as .
They most certainly do. Being honest about your past is crucial. Having a criminal record is nothing to be ashamed of, and you've done more difficult things in life than telling someone you are a former felon. If they have a problem with that, their loss.
Here's some more information on background checks:
In certain US states, nothing older than seven years will be considered part of your record, so it may be worth waiting if your record is close to that limit. The states that don't look at felonies more than seven years old are:
Colorado*
Kansas*
Maryland*
New Hampshire*
New York*
Texas*
Washington*
(* there are certain pay or salary bracket positions where other conditions do apply)
What's more, there are eight states that don't consider cases where you were found not guilty. These are:
However, if you live in one of the states we mention below, your whole record will be looked at. No matter the verdict or the time passed, these states will see all of it:
Company ratings
Edward Jones rates pretty highly in all categories. They have a rating of 4.1 in total, with 79% of reviewers saying they would recommend working there to a friend. Almost all people who work there — 94% — approve of the CEO, Jim Weddle.
What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?
Judging by their official statement, all of them. Particularly, however, you should think about your record in terms of the industry you apply to. For example, since Edward Jones is in the financial sector, you can imagine that crimes relating to theft of any kind, breach of trust, misuse of proprietary information, etc. will really work against you.
Violent crimes and sex offenses will also have a negative impact on your ability to work with segments of the public.
Does Edward Jones drug test?
Yes, they do. Both applicants and employees have to go through various kinds of drug testing.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Vassar College made a strong statement through day one of the 2018 Seven Sisters Championships, hosted by Mount Holyoke College. The Brewers posted 11 victories over the first 13 events to lead the field of five teams with 740.5 points. Vassar heads into Sunday's final action with just an 11-point lead over second-place, Wellesley College, which claimed victory in the other two events, in addition to a number of excellent finishes.
Rounding out the field is the homestanding Lyons in third with 358 points. Smith College is currently fourth with 339 points, while Bryn Mawr College is fifth with 276 points.
Highlighting the day's effort was a Seven Sisters record-setting performance by Vassar first year Shannon Schrope (Kinnelon, N.J./Kinnelon). In the 100-yard breaststroke, Schrope touched the wall in a time of 1:04.88, which not only shattered the previous record (1:09.05) set in 2005, but was also an NCAA B Cut as well.
Individually there were a number of multiple-win performances on the day, including Vassar first year Rhea Randhawa (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills East), who not only swam to victory in the 200-yard individual medley (2:09.86), the 400-yard IM (4:35.28) and the 100-yard backstroke (59.36), but was also a part of the Brewers' win in the 400-yard medley (3:59.81) and 800-yard freestyle (7:59.68) relays.
Also seeing outstanding results on day one were the competitors of the 1-meter diving event. Leading the charge was Wellesley senior captain Maura Sticco-Ivins (Framingham, Mass./Framingham), who captured her fourth-straight Seven Sisters title with a score of 451.70 points. In second was Smith senior Elly Stone (Westborough, Mass./Westborough), who recorded 436.00 points, while MHC sophomore Samantha Nemivant (Scottsdale, Ariz./Notre Dame Prep) placed third with 434.20 points. All told, the top three finishers, as well as fourth and fifth-place posted NCAA Regional Qualifying marks.
Action continues on Sunday with the third and final session, beginning at 9:30am with 3-meter diving. Swimming will begin at 12:15pm with the 1650-freestyle.


On May 7, 2003, Mercury, the innermost planet in the solar system, will pass in front of the Sun and produce a solar eclipse. But this event will hardly be noticed. Mercury's small disk will indeed barely be bigger than the point of a pencil. Even the smallest sunspots on the solar surface are as big as the Earth and measure 10,000 km or more in diameter, while Mercury's equatorial diameter is only 4878 km.
When, in a distant future, the Sun begins to expand and evolves into a "giant" star, the surface temperature on the Earth will rise dramatically and our home planet will eventually be incinerated by that central body. Fortunately for us, this dramatic event is several billion years away. However, that sad fate will befall another planet, just discovered in orbit about the giant star HD 47536, already within a few tens of millions of years. At a distance of nearly 400 light-years from us, it is the second-remotest planetary system discovered to date.
At a distance of some 50 million light-years, the Virgo Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster. It is located in the zodiacal constellation of the same name (The Virgin) and is a large and dense assembly of hundreds of galaxies. The "intracluster" space between the Virgo galaxies is permeated by hot X-ray emitting gas and, as has become clear recently, by a sparse "intracluster population of stars". So far, stars have been observed to form in the luminous parts of galaxies. The most massive young stars are often visible indirectly by the strong emission from surrounding cocoons of hot gas, which is heated by the intense radiation from the embedded stars. New observations by the Japanese 8-m Subaru telescope and the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) have now shown that massive stars can also form in isolation, far from the luminous parts of galaxies.
A team of European astronomers has discovered a Brown Dwarf object (a 'failed' star) less than 12 light-years from the Sun. It is the nearest yet known. Now designated Epsilon Indi B, it is a companion to a well-known bright star in the southern sky, Epsilon Indi, previously thought to be single. The binary system is one of the twenty nearest stellar systems to the Sun. The brown dwarf was discovered from the comparatively rapid motion across the sky which it shares with its brighter companion : the pair move a full lunar diameter in less than 400 years. It was first identified using digitised archival photographic plates from the SuperCOSMOS Sky Surveys and confirmed using data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey. Follow-up observations with the near-infrared sensitive SOFI instrument on the ESO 3.5-m New Technology Telescope (NTT) at the La Silla Observatory confirmed its nature and has allowed measurements of its physical properties.

Dubai: Dubai will celebrate Saudi Arabia's 88th National Day on September 23 with a line-up of events and activities around the city.
The celebrations, which will begin by welcoming visitors from Saudi Arabia with sweets, flowers and coffee upon arrival at the Dubai International Airport, reflect the strong relations between the people of both countries.
The events will include a concert by regional stars and a fireworks show at La Mer.
Amusement parks, hotels, malls, and landmarks will also hold special activities and promotions. Dubai residents can expect to see one of the city's most famous landmarks, Burj Khalifa, illuminated in the national flag of Saudi Arabia, in a display of friendship and respect between the two nations.
Travelling between Dubai and Saudi Arabia is made even easier with the launch of Emirates' fourth daily flight from Riyadh, taking the number of the carrier's weekly flights serving the Saudi capital to 91. Considering Dubai a second home, around 85 per cent of Saudi travellers consider Dubai as a preferred destination, while 46 per cent of Saudi visitors were repeat visitors in 2017.
This year, many Saudis are set to celebrate their National Day in the emirate by visiting some of the city's most popular attractions.

This library contains implementations of the Levenshtein distance, Jaro-Winkler and Soundex algorithms written in Go (golang). Other algorithms related with string metrics (or string similarity, whatever) are welcome.

* master: [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/xrash/smetrics.svg?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/xrash/smetrics)

# Algorithms

## WagnerFischer

        func WagnerFischer(a, b string, icost, dcost, scost int) int

The Wagner-Fischer algorithm for calculating the Levenshtein distance. It runs on O(mn) and needs O(2m) space where m is the size of the smallest string. This is kinda optimized so it should be used in most cases.

The first two parameters are the two strings to be compared. The last three parameters are the insertion cost, the deletion cost and the substitution cost. These are normally defined as 1, 1 and 2.

#### Examples:

        smetrics.WagnerFischer("POTATO", "POTATTO", 1, 1, 2)
		>> 1, delete the second T on POTATTO

        smetrics.WagnerFischer("MOUSE", "HOUSE", 2, 2, 4)
		>> 4, substitute M for H

## Ukkonen

        func Ukkonen(a, b string, icost, dcost, scost int) int

The Ukkonen algorithm for calculating the Levenshtein distance. The algorithm is described [here](http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ukkonen/InfCont85.PDF). It runs on O(t . min(m, n)) where t is the actual distance between strings a and b, so this version should be preferred over the WagnerFischer for strings **very** similar. In practice, it's slower most of the times. It needs O(min(t, m, n)) space.

The first two parameters are the two strings to be compared. The last three parameters are the insertion cost, the deletion cost and the substitution cost. These are normally defined as 1, 1 and 2.

#### Examples:

        smetrics.Ukkonen("POTATO", "POTATTO", 1, 1, 2)
		>> 1, delete the second T on POTATTO

        smetrics.Ukkonen("MOUSE", "HOUSE", 2, 2, 4)
		>> 4, substitute M for H

## Jaro

        func Jaro(a, b string) float64

The Jaro distance. It is not very accurate, therefore you should prefer the JaroWinkler optimized version.

#### Examples:

        smetrics.Jaro("AL", "AL")
		>> 1, equal strings

        smetrics.Jaro("MARTHA", "MARHTA")
		>> 0.9444444444444445, very likely a typo

        smetrics.Jaro("JONES", "JOHNSON")
		>> 0.7904761904761904

## JaroWinkler

        func JaroWinkler(a, b string, boostThreshold float64, prefixSize int) float64

The JaroWinkler distance. JaroWinkler returns a number between 0 and 1 where 1 means perfectly equal and 0 means completely different. It is commonly used on Record Linkage stuff, thus it tries to be accurate for real names and common typos. You should consider it on data such as person names and street names.

JaroWinkler is a more accurate version of the Jaro algorithm. It works by boosting the score of exact matches at the beginning of the strings. By doing this, Winkler says that typos are less common to happen at the beginning. For this to happen, it introduces two more parameters: the boostThreshold and the prefixSize. These are commonly set to 0.7 and 4, respectively.

#### Examples:

        smetrics.JaroWinkler("AL", "AL", 0.7, 4)
		>> 1, equal strings

        smetrics.JaroWinkler("MARTHA", "MARHTA", 0.7, 4)
		>> 0.9611111111111111, very likely a typo

        smetrics.JaroWinkler("JONES", "JOHNSON", 0.7, 4)
		>> 0.8323809523809523

## Soundex

        func Soundex(s string) string

The Soundex encoding. It is a phonetic algorithm that considers how the words sound in english. Soundex maps a name to a 4-byte string consisting of the first letter of the original string and three numbers. Strings that sound similar should map to the same thing.

#### Examples:

        smetrics.Soundex("Euler")
		>> E460

        smetrics.Soundex("Ellery")
		>> E460

        smetrics.Soundex("Lloyd")
		>> L300

        smetrics.Soundex("Ladd")
		>> L300

## Hamming

        func Hamming(a, b string) (int, error)

The Hamming distance is simply the minimum number of substitutions required to change one string into the other. Both strings must have the same size, of the function returns an error.

#### Examples:

        smetrics.Hamming("aaa", "aaa")
		>> 0, nil

        smetrics.Hamming("aaa", "aab")
		>> 1, nil

        smetrics.Hamming("aaaa", "a")
		>> -1, error

# TODO

- Accept cost functions instead of constant values in every Levenshtein implementation.

- Make a better interface.

- Moar algos!
