Doug Kirkbride and Golden Harvest Seed Advisor Vicky Shaffer discuss how different corn heterotic backgrounds influence ear types.
Doug Kirkbride can point to the exact moment when he knew that agriculture would be his lifelong vocation.
He was 11 years old, riding around rural Illinois in a pickup with his grandfather. It was harvest time, and the combines whirred with the promise of a successful growing season.
As he drove, Kirkbride's grandfather, who farmed for a living, spoke passionately of the responsibility that comes with taking care of the land. He talked about how the entire process starts with a seed and how much attention is required to help it on its journey.
Kirkbride's roots in agriculture run more than a century deep. His father farms about 1,000 acres of corn and soybeans. The original family homestead is an Illinois Centennial Farm.
As a kid, Kirkbride helped out with the family business. He raised a small herd of Simmental cattle and participated in FFA shows. After graduating from college, Kirkbride, who had a growing family of his own, decided to move away from the family farm.
Kirkbride started in ag retail, selling seed and chemicals. It was about this time that he made a discovery that would change the arc of his career. "Working in retail is where I discovered my passion for agronomy," he says. As growers brought him their challenges, Kirkbride found that he was inspired to help. He went back to school and earned a master's degree in agronomy. He then joined Syngenta in 2005.
Agronomist's passion and #ag knowledge help growers and retailers tackle seasonal challenges.
As product development agronomy manager, Kirkbride wears a number of hats. He provides technical expertise to members of the sales teams at Syngenta, keeping them up to speed on the latest advances in agronomy. He does the same with retailers, and teams with growers to tackle their challenges.
Kirkbride leads a team of seven agronomists, who handle the territory east of the Mississippi River. It's a big territory, with a wide variety of soils and a different set of challenges that come with each one. He helps oversee a number of research sites—including a small site in Pana—where the latest Syngenta seeds and chemicals are field-tested.
These outdoor classrooms allow Syngenta reps and growers to team together to determine which approaches work best for which soils, management practices and weather patterns. It's an ongoing process.

How Are the Themes of Loneliness and Isolation Explored in "of Mice and Men"?
Categories: ExploreLonelinessOf Mice And Men
How are the themes of loneliness and isolation explored in "Of Mice and Men"? Born in 1902, John Steinbeck, author of 'Of Mice and Men', set his book in the 1930's. The novel revolves around two hard-working men dependant on one another during the Great Depression, a time when most were alone. Many themes are explored in the novel such as racism, loneliness, disability, isolation and friendship. This essay will be talking about how the themes of loneliness and isolation are explored in 'Of Mice and Men'.
Get a verified expert to help you with How Are the Themes of Loneliness and Isolation Explored in "of Mice and Men"?
Gender is one way in which Steinbeck illustrates loneliness and isolation.
The character of Curley's wife is used to portray this. Throughout the book Curley's wife is never referred to her name which is unknown. This suggests that she is a possession belonging to Curley. By not having her name mentioned; Curley's wife remains distant even though she tells Lennie her life story as without a name she remains mysterious. Her marriage to Curley causes for her to be rejected by the ranch workers when she seeks out their attention and friendship.
Therefore she is not only lonely but also isolated as there are only men on the ranch who turn away from her.
Critics may argue that Steinbeck was too harsh in not giving a name to Curley's wife but in my opinion John Steinbeck was only portraying the reality of that particular time period. Steinbeck also uses age to explore the themes of loneliness and isolation. Candy, an old ranch worker, is used to display these themes.
RhizMan
Marrie pro writer
Writer Jennie
As the oldest man on the ranch Candy is the most insecure of the men as he knows that if he was to be fired from his job he would have no other place to go to, what with having no family or friends. This knowledge isolates him from the others as there's no one whom he can relate to this about.
Critics may say that John Steinbeck is stereotyping old people as useless. Another way in which the two themes are explored is through racism. For this John Steinbeck uses Crooks. As a stable buck and a black person, Crooks is isolated from the other characters. He has his own room which may be fortunate but only further alienates him from the other workers. Crooks shows that he is lonely while talking to Lennie, he says, "I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick. " He talks of how he wakes up in the night and sees something but doesn't know if he was just dreaming, if had a friend he would have asked him.
Because of his race Crooks has many disadvantages one of them being that he is not allowed to enter the bunkhouse. Another being that he is abused by the other workers. Crooks is not given a chance to befriend anyone and is therefore both physically and mentally isolated. Lennie shows how disability can lead to loneliness and isolation. His child-like mentality distances him from the other workers. Though he talks to and is talked to by other characters he is isolated in his mind because there is still a separation. His disability causes the other characters on the ranch to treat him as inferior.
Lennie was told both Crooks' and Curley's wife's life story but it doesn't mention in the book whether or not he was really listening when the two confided in him. This makes you doubt whether or not Lennie is actually as he is described. Critics may say that Lennie's character was too unrealistic and overdrawn. Euthanasia is used to explore the themes of loneliness and isolation. Again Lennie is used to display this along with Candy's dog. Both of them were in a similar situation where their death was what was best for them. Throughout the book Lennie is described as animalistic which further connects him to Candy's dog.
Lennie was killed by someone who cared about him, George, while Candy had wished to have been the one who had killed his dog. Without his dog Candy was left as lonely because though he still had the others, his dog was the one who was always by his side. It shows that Lennie was truly lonely because when he died though George was shaken he had Slim as a friend to replace Lennie. John Steinbeck uses dreams to show loneliness and isolation. George's character is used to show this. Although most of the ranch workers like George, he is mentally isolated. This is because of his dream which distances him from the other characters.
His dream acts as a burden because in the end he knows that it will never come true. His awareness causes for him to be isolated, lonely and unreachable. Financial status also displays loneliness and isolation. For this the character of Curley is used. Curley can be viewed as the villain in the novel because of the abusive way he treats the other workers. He uses his small size as an advantage. The main difference though between him and the workers is money. Curley is married and yet because he is the boss's son he doesn't have to work like the others characters do.
He uses the fact that he has authority and dominates the ranch workers. But being the boss' son only further alienates him from the other characters and causes him to be lonely. Curley's wife would constantly flirt with the other ranch-hands. This made him a subject of ridicule and further isolated him. Another way in which John Steinbeck uses to explore the themes of loneliness and isolation is through marriage. Curley and his wife are used to depict this. Both of them are stuck in a loveless marriage. Curley's wife revealed to Lennie that she didn't like Curley.
Ways that you can tell Curley doesn't love his wife is like the fact that he went to a cat house with the other men. In addition, when his wife was killed he set out to punish Lennie instead of mourning her; this shows that he was more interested in getting back at Lennie for personal reasons instead of losing his wife. Curley and his wife are therefore viewed as lonely. Their title as a married couple also isolates them from others on the ranch as there are expectations of how they should act and who they should talk to. Friendship is used by John Steinbeck to display loneliness and isolation.
There are many forms of friendship in "Of Mice and Men", the main one being George and Lennie's friendship. The two of them are dependent on one another for different reasons. Lennie needs George to help him because of his mental disability. While George needs Lennie for company. Critics may argue that Steinbeck showed their friendship as abusive and forced. Another friendship brought together by loneliness is Curley's wife and Lennie. This shows that they were all lonely as they settled for each other purely because they wanted companionship and someone to talk to. John Steinbeck also used other features to display loneliness and isolation.
The novel began with a lonely atmosphere as he described the setting. This indicated that there was no-one around to describe or mention which gave you the feeling of isolation. Also the name of the city, Soledad, means solitude and loneliness in Spanish. In conclusion, John Steinbeck explored the themes of loneliness and isolation in many ways, using other themes and features. Although Steinbeck doesn't allow you to clearly see his characters so you are unable to discern whether they are really lonely and isolated or if they are just portrayed and viewed as lonely and isolated.

USA Health surgical oncology team has expertise and experience treating Sarcoma
Education | Disease Prevention | General News
Sarcoma is a rare cancerous tumor that occurs in connective tissues - fat, nerve, muscle, bone – impacting anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 patients a year in the United States, which is just 1% of all cancers reported annually. The rare nature of these tumors underscores the need for unique expertise and experience for successful treatment.
Published Aug 5th, 2019
By Lindsay Mott
lmott@health.southalabama.edu
There are about 50 different types of sarcomas, and they fall on a spectrum with slow growing and easy to treat at one end to aggressive and more difficult to treat on the other. Sarcomas can also grow to the size of a basketball or watermelon that are mainly found in the abdomen.
Sarcomas require a multidisciplinary approach with a high level of expertise and experience to treat them successfully because they vary so much and are so rare. At USA Health, our surgical oncology team - J. Harrison Howard, M.D., Spencer Liles, M.D., and Annabelle Fonseca, M.D. - provides just that.
"It has been demonstrated time and time again that people do better when they are treated by physicians that have extensive experience with this disease," said Howard, who is fellowship-trained in treating sarcomas.
The treatment types for these tumors also varies: sometimes it's just surgery, sometimes it's radiation and surgery, and sometimes it's chemo and radiation up front followed by surgery.
"There's a huge spectrum in how the tumors behave, and that's why it's important to have a physician with extensive training and experience treat these," Howard said, adding that sometimes treatments performed by inexperienced providers can make things worse rather than better for the patient.
As an academic physician who is on faculty at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Howard says he has the opportunity to teach residents and medical students about sarcoma and the importance of treatments that involve an experienced, multidisciplinary team.
For patients, Howard said that sarcomas can be hard to pinpoint but it's important to look for lumps and growths that are deep in the muscle or tissue. Also, if a person's belly is growing at fast rate, he recommends talking with your primary care physician.

Judah Friedlander (nacido el 16 de marzo de 1969) es un actor y comediante estadounidense, conocido por interpretar el papel del escritor Frank Rossitano en la comedia 30 Rock (también llamada Rockefeller Plaza en España) de la NBC. Friedlander también es conocido por su papel de Toby Radloff en la película American Splendor, un papel que le valió críticas favorables y una nominación al mejor actor secundario en los Premios Independent Spirit 2004. Al principio de su carrera fue reconocido como "el chico del abrazo" del video musical del sencillo de 2001 Dave Matthews Band " Everyday ".

Friedlander es conocido por su aspecto distintivo, que incluye gafas de gran tamaño, cabello peludo, una camiseta y un sombrero de camionero (ambos a menudo estampados con lemas como "campeón mundial"), y una apariencia generalmente descuidada.      Es una apariencia que mantiene como comediante, durante la mayoría de sus apariciones públicas, y que ha empleado en algunos de sus papeles de actuación.

Primeros años
Friedlander nació en Gaithersburg, Maryland, hijo de Shirley y Art Friedlander.   Su padre era de ascendencia judía rusa y su madre, oriunda de Pittsburgh.

Cuando era niño, Friedlander dibujó caricaturas políticas e hizo películas animadas. Primero intentó hacer stand up comedy en 1989 a la edad de 19 años mientras asistía a la Universidad de Nueva York.

Carrera

Stand-up comedy
Friedlander ha realizado comedias de stand-up regularmente a lo largo de su carrera de entretenimiento.    Continuó haciendo stand-up varias noches a la semana en la ciudad de Nueva York mientras trabajaba en la comedia 30 Rock. Friedlander ha declarado que está más relajado cuando hace stand-up  y que considera que el stand-up es su primer amor verdadero, prefiriendo a la actuación. Afirmó en 2012 que el stand up es "lo más importante que hago desde el punto de vista artístico".

Friedlander ha citado a los comediantes Steven Wright, Sam Kinison y John Mulrooney como influencias. También dice que Dave Attell es uno de sus cómics favoritos.

Las actuaciones cómicas de Friedlander a menudo lo muestran haciendo afirmaciones escandalosas y rimbombantes sobre sí mismo con una entrega impasible.     Muchas de estas afirmaciones se reflejan en los lemas que se muestran en los muchos sombreros de camionero que usa, el más común es "Campeón del Mundo", un eslogan que ha usado en varios idiomas.

Una de sus afirmaciones incluye ser un experto en karate, haber logrado un " cinturón negro extra oscuro" en el deporte.   En 2010, fue autor del libro de humor How to Beat Up Anybody: An Instructional and Inspirational Karate Book del World Champion.   Las afirmaciones de Friedlander proporcionan ironía cómica cuando se comparan con su actitud despreocupada y su apariencia física.   Friedlander usa gafas grandes y de montura gruesa, a menudo no se afeita y generalmente está descuidado.  Su físico también ha sido descrito como "pastoso".

La apariencia que Friedlander emplea durante su actuación también se ha trasladado a algunos de sus papeles en televisión y cine, incluido su papel de 30 Rock como escritor de televisión Frank Rossitano.   Sin embargo, Frank es mucho más vago que el personaje de "Campeón del Mundo" de Friedlander.

En 2007, la revista Heeb incluyó a Friedlander en su lista de "100 personas que debes conocer".

Televisión

Friedlander desempeñó el papel de un técnico en la comedia de situación Al Franken LateLine en 1999. Durante la década de 2000, Friedlander ocupó papeles invitados en varios programas de televisión, incluidos Spin City, Curb Your Enthusiasm y Flight of the Conchords, además de proporcionar voces para los personajes de las series animadas Wonder Showzen y Xavier: Renegade Angel. Friedlander hizo apariciones regulares en el programa de entretenimiento y cultura pop Best Week Ever.   Apareció como coanfitrión en línea de los Premios TV Land 2009, junto al presentador principal Neil Patrick Harris.

Friedlander fue miembro del reparto habitual de la comedia 30 Rock durante toda su emisión, desde el 11 de octubre de 2006 hasta el 31 de enero de 2013.   Su personaje, Frank Rossitano, es un escritor sarcástico y burlón en el programa de ficción TGS con Tracy Jordan  Frank es vago, descuidado y vive con su madre (interpretada por Patti Lupone ).  También está obsesionado con el sexo, lo que a menudo revela a través de comentarios vulgares y sexualmente sugestivos. Friedlander ha declarado que Frank Rossitano se basa en al menos dos escritores con quienes Tina Fey solía trabajar en Saturday Night Live. Sus siempre cambiantes sombreros de camionero con eslogan también se convirtieron en una mordaza en el programa.  Friedlander hace sus sombreros él mismo y creó suficientes para poder usar uno diferente en cada escena de 30 Rock, que es aproximadamente tres sombreros por espectáculo.

Friedlander ha aparecido en programas nocturnos como Late Night con Conan O'Brien, The Daily Show con Jon Stewart, The Daily Show con Trevor Noah, The Tonight Show con Jay Leno, Late Night con Jimmy Fallon y Last Call con Carson Daly  En 2010, Friedlander apareció en 2 episodios de la serie infantil Sesame Street.  También apareció como panelista en The Burn con Jeff Ross en 2013.

En mayo y junio de 2014, Friedlander narró ESPN 's Inside: la serie de seis partes de la Marcha del fútbol estadounidense a Brasil en preparación para la Copa del Mundo en Brasil.

Ha aparecido en Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell de MSNBC y ha brindado comentarios personales sobre la Copa Mundial y el fútbol en general.

Cine y video
En 2001, Friedlander interpretó a " The Hug Guy" en el video musical del sencillo " Everyday " de Dave Matthews Band ; Su personaje se ve abrazando a varias personas a lo largo del video.    Friedlander fue reconocido por su papel de "chico abrazado" durante años después de aparecer en el video, lo que provocó que extraños le ofrecieran abrazos. El mismo año, apareció en la película de comedia Wet Hot American Summer.

En 2003, Friedlander interpretó a Toby Radloff en la película biográfica American Splendor, un papel que recibió críticas favorables: su actuación fue considerada "inolvidable"  por The New York Times y "perfecta" por Nick A. Zaino III de The Boston Globe  y Dan Dinicola de The Daily Gazette.  También fue nominado en la categoría de mejor actor secundario en los Premios Independent Spirit 2004.

Friedlander tuvo papeles en las películas de Ben Stiller Meet the Parents, Zoolander y Along Came Polly.

Tuvo un papel protagónico en la comedia independiente de 2005 Full Grown Men y un papel secundario en el drama de 2008 The Wrestler.

40 Stories - SH
Current PADV Client
SH (used to protect her identity) never imagined she would need to contact a domestic violence shelter, but when the abuse started she turned to her coworkers at the local hotel where she worked for help. After listening to the warm and caring voice on the PADV crisis hotline, SH knew she had to make a dramatic change in her life and made the difficult decision to enter one of PADV's safe houses.
SH has been a client of PADV for six months and will soon be transitioning into our supportive housing program. She says the support that she has received from her advocates at PADV, including Ebony and Pam was phenomenal and that Bre'shae, PADV's volunteer coordinator, was beyond what she could have imagined.
"During one of the most challenging times in my life, I gained an incomparable support system from a place I least expected I would turn to, and one that was completely outside of my family and friend network," said SH.
"My Team," as she affectionately refers to the PADV staff, encouraged SH to reignite her passion for living a productive life and maximizing her potential. PADV matched SH with a number of community resources to assist with financial management, career and educational advancement, as well as emotional and spiritual support.
SH wants the world to know that PADV is an excellent program and provides survivors the opportunity to begin their journey of healing and transitioning into self-sufficiency.
"The team and services, which include Ms. Pam's Women's Empowerment Group, has proven to be an empowering and effective program for me and others," said SH. "Ebony's dedication to the well-being of all children who come through the shelter doors is unmatchable and incredible to witness."
If you are ready to get help, "PADV is a wonderful program."


One hallmark of modern society is a broad commitment to the freedom of speech. Robust and balanced societies protect the ability to believe, speak, and associate freely. And while the defence of free speech is best maintained through political means, its cultivation and advancement are naturally suited to education. In this way, universities have a uniquely important role in the promotion of free speech.
Although most people would extol the principles of free speech, not everyone likes to be challenged. Free speech is most endangered by those who believe their own power is threatened by critique or confrontation. In other words, censorship is borne out of insecurity in one's own philosophical position. Nowadays, this alarming phenomenon can be witnessed at universities around the country. Although universities were intended to be places where free speech could be nurtured and practised, they are quickly becoming places where it is most imperilled.
Even the government agrees that censorship on university campuses is a growing problem.
Earlier this year, the Joint Committee on Human Rights released a report regarding the state of free speech in higher education. They found that students with minority views experience unjust restriction and censorship at various UK universities. Wielding enormous power on campus, certain students' associations have come to embody the politics and tactics of repression and control. Some associations place undue burdens on those with minority views while others take the more severe tactic of simply banning certain viewpoints.
One of the most heavily-censored viewpoints is that of the pro-life ethic, specifically as it relates to opposing abortion. The various efforts by students' associations to prohibit, restrict or even de-ratify pro-life societies have been well-documented at universities around the UK including Strathclyde, Cardiff, Dundee, Oxford, Glasgow, Newcastle, Stirling, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Warwick, Cambridge, and Manchester. But this kind of censorship isn't limited to other campuses. It's happening here at Aberdeen, too.
Back in April, a group of students submitted a society application to AUSA. Our proposed group, the Aberdeen Life Ethics Society (ALES), intends to facilitate peaceful and civil debate around issues in life ethics. While its members identify as pro-life, the society would organise open-to-the-public lectures and debates throughout the year. In October, however, AUSA rejected our society application. Apparently, our society would violate a policy passed by the Student Council in November 2017. This policy established AUSA as institutionally pro-choice and, furthermore, requires no-platforming any society that contravenes that position. Since ALES would be constituted as, among other things, anti-abortion, we have been banned from affiliating.
This is a prime example of censorship.
AUSA is just the latest in a long list of students' associations which selectively repress the freedom of speech of certain students and societies. AUSA's willingness to censor dissenting speech, even though such speech is protected by UK and EU laws, should be chilling to any fair-minded student who believes that the free exchange of ideas is essential to a university's ethos.
Moreover, this decision exhibits AUSA's hypocritical enforcement of tolerance. Although our students' association prides itself on being radically tolerant, its willingness to block the formation of a minority-view society illuminates the lopsided nature of how tolerance is actually practised on our campus. AUSA should protect the ability of minority-view students to form a society and affiliate with the union, but this fiasco proves that AUSA does not equally represent all students. AUSA operates as a democracy, but once the majority uses its power to strip rights away from the minority, democracy has devolved into mob rule.
Students are ill-served by an association which stifles dissenting opinion and debate over society's most contentious issues.
How can a university community truly live up to its own ideal when the freedom of speech is actively suppressed? If these topics are freely and civilly debated outside the walls of the University, why should AUSA deem them to be off-limits on campus? For a students' association which touts its supposed liberality, this outcome is an illiberal travesty.
The pro-life position is admittedly an unpopular minority opinion on this campus, but it is fully protected by law. The right to speak freely must be equally applied to all, not just to those who already agree with the majority opinion.
Will Aberdeen continue to be a university where certain dissenting views are censored and no-platformed? Or can sincere debate occur?
Those in honest pursuit of knowledge should not fear disagreement. Understanding is often sharpened and refined in the crucible of debate.
The future of free speech at Aberdeen hangs in the balance. As pro-lifers, all we ask for is fair treatment and the opportunity to be heard without threat of reprisal or no-platforming. We want to enter the conversation on equal footing, but in order to do that, AUSA's discriminatory no-platform policy must be rescinded.

Vendors Discuss Gartner MQ for Analytics & BI Platforms 2019
By Gabriella Pirrone
Advanced Analytics, AI, Analytics, Business Intelligence, data, Exclusive Interviews, gartner, IBM, SAP, TIBCO
With so many differentiators that make up today's analytics and business intelligence platforms on the market, choosing the right tool to track performance and make decisions based on data-driven insights can be a daunting task.
To aid in this decision, the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms 2019 report was released in early February which takes an in-depth look at modern analytics and BI platforms along with the exploration and insights that make up augmented analytics in a single platform. The twenty-one vendors outlined in the report help inform data and analytics leaders to either complement their existing solutions or move to an entirely new vendor. Of the fifteen critical capabilities that make up an analytics and BI platform, the top five use-cases used by Gartner to define and assess product capabilities are agile, centralized BI provisioning, decentralized analytics, governed data discovery, OEM or embedded analytics, and extranet deployment.
As always, each vendor in the report was identified with three strengths and three cautions which provides a way for decision-makers in the market for this technology to decide who the better fit is. For this article, I had the privilege to speak with three of those vendors from the report—IBM, SAP, and TIBCO Software—to hear their thoughts on what Gartner had to say about one strength and one caution that I chose to highlight from the report.
Being recognized as a niche player, one of IBM's strengths that Gartner emphasized was their global physical presence, which includes its expansive network of partners. Knowing that a solid partner network can be crucial in any industry, Gartner placed them in the top third of vendors with this skillset. I asked Mike Norris, Director, Offering Management, Business Analytics at IBM, how they were able to achieve this type of presence and availability of relevant skills?
"IBM has a 108-year history of being at the forefront of driving the future of technology by providing customers around the world with the solutions they need to innovate and drive a competitive advantage in their respective market. We've been a long-time leader in Data for Good and pushing to close the diversity gap. The key behind our success is our vast, skilled workforce, coupled with one of the world's premier Research & Development organizations and through our numerous partnerships. We've developed a large ecosystem of partners, particularly with offerings like IBM Cognos Analytics, who don't just re-sell our products but actually build solutions to meet our customer's needs around the world. Our complete Data and AI portfolio is no exception to the Cognos Analytics example of how we've worked with partners to specifically transform our offerings to help clients on their journey to AI, enabling them to bring the power of AI to their data, wherever that data lives, and ultimately gain those valuable insights needed to improve business performance."
Mike makes mention on their Cognos Analytics, an augmented analytics capability brought over from IBM Watson Analytics. Although the Cognos Analytics was an upgrade from their earlier version, Gartner cautioned the product with "inconsistencies in platform capabilities across reporting, exploration, and augmented analytics" because of its redesign. My next question for Mike was what he thought of this caution, their plans for IBM Cognos, and what their customers can expect?
"Cognos Analytics enjoys an extremely strong following of thousands of happy customers, each of whom is leveraging its capabilities to manage, organize and analyze their rising data volumes and with a similar goal in mind; make data-driven decisions. Over the years, and especially within the last 18 months, Cognos Analytics has won numerous awards for design and performance, including last month's Big Innovation 2019 award from Business Intelligence Group, for innovation. We have built the next-generation business intelligence platform which brings new machine learning and natural-language elements, as well as covers Mode 1 and Mode 2. These key capabilities are critical to the next-generation of use cases.
To use Gartner's own language, IBM Cognos Analytics covers all three modes of BI: Mode 1 ("formatted production-style reporting"), Mode 2 ("visual-based exploration and agility"), and Mode 3 (augmented analytics). We're pleased Gartner recognizes this by saying: "IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1 is one of the few offerings that include enterprise reporting, governed and self-service visual exploration, and augmented analytics in a single platform." In the coming year, we plan to continuing engaging with Gartner to ensure that our product capabilities are aligned with the direction of the market, as we continue our effort to infuse IBM Cognos Analytics with augmented intelligence capabilities, ultimately allowing both business users and IT pros to harness data to explore the unknown, identify novel relationships in data, get a deeper understanding of outcomes and challenge the status quo.
You can read what clients have to say about IBM Cognos Analytics on Gartner's Peer Insights page on Cognos Analytics.
And lastly, these are some of the things other analyst firms have said about Cognos Analytics recently:
The July 2018 BARC Score Enterprise BI and Analytics Platforms report rated us as a "Market Leader" — the highest categorization given to any vendor.
In November 2018, Krishna Roy of 451 Research wrote, "The result of development work carried out for over a year has turned Cognos Analytics into a compelling BI and analysis platform that hits all the market requirement and trends, including smart data discovery, augmented analytics, and automated predictive analysis."
Forrester Research identified us as a BI market leader even before all the improvements of 2018, noting that clients "gave IBM high scores for quick time-to-value, scalability, stability, security, cloud/hybrid architecture, extensibility, and frequency of upgrades."
The 2019 Ventana Research Analytics & BI Value Index report states: "IBM offers a comprehensive product line...for discovery, reporting, planning and predictive analytics [and] is one of the few vendors we evaluated to offer this breadth of functionality."
Last year, SAP released an announcement for their new Analytics Cloud solution, "a single solution for business intelligence and collaborative planning, enhanced with the power of predictive analytics and machine learning technology." In the report, Gartner notes the Analytics Cloud, more specifically, the new ML-driven functions and NLP-based search as a strength, and, "one of the highest rated platforms for augmented data discovery capability." Because of these improvements, and being named a visionary, I wanted to ask Nic Smith, Global VP of Product Marketing at SAP Analytics Cloud, to share his thoughts on the Analytics Cloud and how they achieved this success?
"SAP is investing heavily in its smart analytics capabilities and is positioned for where we believe Gartner anticipates the market is heading with augmented analytics. Enhancements in smart search help users find the right content, and algorithms guide data discovery and pattern detection with no data scientist required. SAP's strategy to bring all analytics together in one cloud-based platform for business intelligence (BI), enterprise planning, and augmented analytics is a clear market differentiator."
Although the SAP Analytics Cloud was mentioned as a strength, its "Product quality and performance" was a caution to SAP's reference customer, primarily those looking for broader deployment. In addition, I asked Nic his thoughts on what Gartner had to say and what steps the company is taking—or has taken—in addressing these concerns?
"Quality and performance are continued areas of focus for the SAP Analytics Cloud team. SAP has recently added a quarterly product release cycle for SAP Analytics Cloud in addition to the two-week release cycles. This gives customers the choice of receiving new innovations with SAP Analytics Cloud at a pace that works best for their organization. In 2019, we are also focusing on further modelling improvements, with enhancements coming in the Q1 2019 time frame, and other developments to continue improving the overall user experience of data modelling. In addition, we have recently added 100 data sources via the SAP Analytics Cloud agent which complements recent investment made in significantly increasing data source connectivity for SAP Analytics Cloud customers. The team has also enhanced connectivity to the trusted business data sources of SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Warehouse, and SAP Business Objects. Learn more about data connections in SAP Analytics Cloud. Further info on SAP's position in the Gartner BI MQ is posted here."
TIBCO has improved the most since the Gartner 2018 report, primarily from their recent acquisition of SnappyData, allowing them to complement their TIBCO® Connected Intelligence platform with enhances to their data science, hybrid data integration and streaming, as well as their master data management. The company also announced an update to its embedded analytics product and released an AI-powered analytics tool called TIBCO Spotfire®, also announced in 2018.
This is where my first question for Mark Palmer, SVP and General Manager of Analytics at TIBCO Software, comes into play. I asked Mark what has contributed to this success, and as noted by Gartner, how "an improved user interface and streamlined user workflow contribute to TIBCO's top-third rating for overall ease of use."?
"We understand that businesses are looking at analytics and business intelligence platforms as solutions that will bring substantial value to them, not just another novelty tool. As such, our platform is designed in a way that prioritizes ease of use. It doesn't require analytics users to jump from tool to tool to do fundamental tasks such as data-prep, since 80% of analysis time is spent there. Our TIBCO Spotfire tool also offers complete interactive analytics as opposed to other solutions that just show "view-only" charts that visualize data.
The key step-change in our results this year for ease of use comes as a result of the completely redesigned user interface of TIBCO Spotfire X, which includes a redesigned user experience, embedded AI, natural language search, and industry's first streaming business intelligence functionality.
For example, the newest version of Spotfire allows users to use natural language to search for anything from data to charts to data science models, from one, simple, prominent search box: like "Spotlight" on the Mac, it's one place to search everything.
Another example is of embedded data science: Firms today want to leverage more data science without hiring an army of data scientists. Our vision is to put "data science at your fingertips" for business analysts. By allowing, for instance, a forecasting model to be placed on a Spotfire graph with the click of a button, you begin to democratize access to data science with Spotfire X.
Finally, IoT and streaming real-time data are going mainstream in the enterprise. Spotfire X democratizes access to streaming data for the first time. As easily as loading a spreadsheet of data, Spotfire X allows the business analyst to connect to live data, and the entire analytics experience becomes live. Business analysts can evaluate live conditions and can query the future for the first time in any BI product. Once again, Spotfire X does this with the drag-and-drop simplicity it's known for and opens BI up to a whole new world of digital business applications.
To summarize, with the Spotfire X release, we have made it dramatically easy to prepare and analyze data, use artificial intelligence, search for insights, embed data science, and perform streaming analytics resulting."
Besides all of their momentum mentioned above, and being named a visionary, Gartner noted that the investments in their "social media marketing, strategic partnerships, and thought leadership programs over the past year have yet to materially improve its market momentum." I asked Bipin Singh, Director of Product Marketing, TIBCO Software, what his thoughts were on Gartner's caution, and the steps they are taking—or have taken—in addressing these concerns?
"At TIBCO, we are very customer-focused, from developing innovative products to help customers solve the most important problems in the enterprise, to catering to individual use cases by understanding their challenges. We offer a very complete set of capabilities for personas, such as business users, analysts, data scientists, and more, all of whom use TIBCO Spotfire to solve some of their most important analytics use cases, many of which are high-value, industrial-grade IoT analytics and predictive analytics applications. These personas are almost always solving lines of business problems through analytics and don't necessarily relate with IT analyst firms.
We use state of the art digital marketing tools and techniques, such as paid search, retargeting, SEO/SEM, and conversion optimization to capture and nurture these analytics personas throughout their buyers' journeys. For example, we use a combination of live product demos, free trial programs, and persona-customized, automated email drips to accelerate lead-to-opportunity conversion."

This loaf is super simple to make and is suitable for a wide range of dietary requirements. Generic hot cross buns contain lots of allergens and cheap and nasty ingredients, but this loaf has all the flavour of hot cross buns with a whole lot of added nutrition. If you wanted to make individual sized versions simply pour the mix into muffin tins instead and reduce the baking time accordingly.
1) Place buckwheat in a large bowl, cover with 4 cups of water and leave to sit overnight.
2) Drain excess water from buckwheat but do not rinse. The starch surrounding the kernels will be important for keeping the loaf together.
3) Add the remaining cup of water, spice and salt and buckwheat to the bowl of a blender and pulse until buckwheat kernels are just barely broken up. Pour the mix into a large bowl, mix in dried fruit, cover with a tea towel and leave to sit for 1-2 days at room temperature. This will allow the mix to ferment and the dough to rise naturally.
4) Preheat oven to 220°C and line a loaf tin with baking paper. Pour the buckwheat mix into the loaf tin and gently smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
5) Whisk the flour with enough water to make a batter. Pour the batter into a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the corner cut off. Pipe one long stripe of batter down the middle of the loaf lengthwise and then pipe three shorter stripes to make crosses.6) Bake the loaf for 30-40 minutes or until firm and golden on top. While still hot use a pastry brush to glaze the top of the loaf and then allow to cool slightly before slicing to serve.
It's custard apple season! These weird looking fruits can appear a little intimidating to those unaccustomed to them but they are nothing to be afraid of. Simply cut them in half and you can use a spoon to scoop out the creamy white flesh, being careful to not bite down on the easily found seeds. Custard apples are a good source of vitamin C and potassium and by using wholemeal flour & coconut sugar in this recipe there is increased fibre and a decreased Glycaemic Index. Making this recipe was the first time I had ever cooked with custard apples but it's a great way to use up any of them that may be looking a little too ripe. Plus you could freeze slices and enjoy them well after custard apple season finishes.
Beat coconut oil, sugar & vanilla in a large bowl with an electric beater for 1 minute.
Add eggs 1 at a time beating after each addition.
Fold in custard apple with a spoon and sift in flour, nut meal and cinnamon before folding all ingredients together.
Spoon into tin and sprinkle with a little extra coconut sugar and cinnamon.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Set aside to cool for 5 minutes before serving in slices.
These tarts are beautiful, simple and versatile. You can decorate them with your favourite seasonal fruits. They can be eaten for a quick breakfast or elegantly decorated to impress guests when entertaining. This recipe can also be easily adapted for different dietary requirements. The muesli can be changed to a gluten free option or use a dairy-free yoghurt and maple syrup instead of honey to make a vegan version.
Line a 6 hole muffin tin with paper cases.
Melt coconut oil in a small saucepan over a low heat. When melted mix in muesli and coconut until well combined.
Place tablespoons of the muesli mixture into the muffin holes and use a teaspoon to press the mixture down to the sides of the holes to make muesli cups. Place the cups in the fridge to set for 45 minutes.
While the muesli cups are setting make the yoghurt filling. Place yoghurt in a mixing bowl, drizzle over honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.
Chop fruit and set aside.
The muesli cups should be assembled just before serving so if you're not planning to serve them immediately just store the muesli cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
To assemble place the muesli cups on a serving plate, fill with yoghurt and arrange fruit on top. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.
This cake is rich and decadent so you only need to eat a small piece to feel satisfied - which means it's great for all the sweet-tooths out there! It's full of fibre and protein and gives you long lasting energy. You could also make cupcakes with this recipe which would be a great treat to take to school or work.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (fan forced).
Line a 28cm cake tin with baking paper.
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the hot water or the chocolate may burn. Once melted set aside to cool.
Place chickpeas, beetroot and eggs in a food processor and blend until smooth. Then add juice, sugar and baking soda and blend until well incorporated.
Pour into a mixing bowl and mix in melted chocolate until smooth.
Pour mixture into cake tin and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Cake is ready when it is firm to touch. Allow the cake to rest until fully cooled.
When cake is at room temperature slice it horizontally in half and spread the bottom half with yoghurt and sprinkle over pomegranate seeds before replacing the top half of the cake.
To make the icing melt coconut oil over a low heat and then allow to cool.
Simmer the juice over a medium heat until most of the water evaporates and there is approximately 1 teaspoon of concentrated liquid left. Allow the juice to cool.
When cooled mix oil, juice concentrate and yoghurt together in a measuring jug. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Pour icing over cake and place cake in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up the icing.

#26104 new defect
HTML results for search_doc and search_src in Jupyter Notebook

Description (last modified by embray)
As pointed out in comment:4:ticket:24784, the search_doc and search_src functions, when run in the legacy Sage Notebook, produce HTML-formatted results, with working links to all the doc pages/source code containing search hits.
However, the Jupyter Notebook just displays the plain-text search results. As I pointed out in #24784, it is possible to return HTML-formatted results to Jupyter as well, in a mime-bundle. Jupyter will then determine which format to use depending on the context: plain text, or HTML, with a preference for HTML in the notebook.
This is easily fixed as demonstrated in the fix for #24784, but there are a few problems with the current HTML result formatting:
Most importantly, it produces URLs to search results that only work in the legacy notebook (which has its own URLs for hosting the Sage docs). Instead, I would propose that it produce links to doc.sagemath.org by default, but also have an optional offline=True option to produce file:/// URLs if the docs are available offline. The reason for making offline=False by default is that when running the Jupyter Notebook in a cloud-based setting, such as mybinder.org, producing file:/// links would not be useful. As mentioned below, we don't need this because we can serve the docs through /kernelspec/sagemath/doc. However, this should probably still check that the docs are installed locally so that they can be served by Jupyter. If not, it would still make sense to fall back on doc.sagemath.org.
The HTML that is currently output is very "web 1.0", using tags and features that are deprecated in HTML5. The output could easily be updated to modern HTML5 + CSS.
The output is also not very helpful. It simply displays links to the documentation pages in which results were found, but does not display the search results themselves. It would be easy, for each document in which there are results, to display the result snippets inline, perhaps with the search terms highlighted.
When linking to Sphinx docs it would also be good to include the highlight= query string parameter, in order to highlight the search term(s) in the page.

For info: assuming the Sage documentation has been compiled, it's possible to access it through the relative URL /kernelspecs/sagemath/doc/. That's how the Help-> Reference Manual menu item and friends in the Jupyter notebook points to the documentation, and it works regardless of where the Jupyter server is running (locally, on binder, ...).
This should resolve the file:// dilemma. Well, again assuming that the doc is compiled; I don't know how strong an assumption this is. Somehow, the Help menu already makes that assumption, so presumably it's reasonable to make the same one elsewhere in Jupyter.

I think that in the past, people have also considered using Sphinx's search capabilities in search_doc, to get nicely formatted results with highlighted terms, etc. I don't think there was a ticket for this, but it might be something to consider.
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by embray
Oh, I was wondering if it were possible to serve kernel-specific URLs. That solves that.

Shall we go this way (it would indeed be nice to the user), it would be best to use the same logic for the Help menu. That is, have somewhere a "base_url_of_sage_doc()" that would take into account the presence of locally built doc and whether we are being served through a Jupyter kernel, or not; and use it in both places (and maybe elsewhere too).
Replying to nthiery:
I agree, it would be good to have a generic, reusable utility function to get the best available URL for the sage docs in any given context.

Removing most of the rest of my open tickets out of the 8.7 milestone, which should be closed.


General Appearance A compact, closely knit dog of medium size, a leggy dog having the appearance, as well as the agility, of a great ground coverer. Strong, vigorous, energetic and quick of movement. Ruggedness, without clumsiness, is a characteristic of the breed. He can be tailless or has a tail docked to approximately four inches.
Height--17½ to 20½ inches, measured from the ground to the highest point of the shoulders. Any Brittany measuring under 17½ inches or over 20½ inches shall be disqualified from dog show competition. Weight-- Should weigh between 30 and 40 pounds Proportion-- So leggy is he that his height at the shoulders is the same as the length of his body. Body Length--Approximately the same as the height when measured at the shoulders. Body length is measured from the point of the forecast to the rear of the rump. A long body should be heavily penalized. Substance--Not too light in bone, yet never heavy-boned and cumbersome.
Expression--Alert and eager, but with the soft expression of a bird dog. Eyes--Well set in head. Well protected from briars by a heavy, expressive eyebrow. A prominent full or popeye should be penalized. It is a serious fault in a dog that must face briars. Skull well chiseled under the eyes, so that the lower lid is not pulled back to form a pocket or haw that would catch seeds, dirt and weed dust. Preference should be for the darker colored eyes, though lighter shades of amber should not be penalized. Light and mean-looking eyes should be heavily penalized. Ears--Set high, above the level of the eyes. Short and triangular, rather than pendulous, reaching about half the length of the muzzle. Should lie flat and close to the head, with dense, but relatively short hair, and with little fringe. Skull--Medium length, rounded, very slightly wedge-shaped, but evenly made. Width, not quite as wide as the length and never so broad as to appear coarse, or so narrow as to appear racy. Well defined, but gently sloping stop. Median line rather indistinct. The occiput only apparent to the touch. Lateral walls well rounded. The Brittany should never be "apple-headed" and he should never have an indented stop Muzzle--Medium length, about two thirds the length of the skull, measuring the muzzle from the tip to the stop, and the skull from the occiput to the stop. Muzzle should taper gradually in both horizontal and vertical dimensions as it approaches the nostrils. Neither a Roman nose nor a dish-face is desirable. Never broad, heavy or snippy. Nose--Nostrils well open to permit deep breathing of air and adequate scenting. Tight nostrils should be penalized. Never shiny. Color: fawn, tan, shades of brown or deep pink. A black nose is a disqualification. A two-tone or butterfly nose should be penalized. Lips--Tight, the upper lip overlapping the lower jaw just to cover the lower lip. Lips dry, so that feathers will not stick. Drooling to be heavily penalized. Flews to be penalized. Bite--A true scissors bite. Overshot or undershot jaw to be heavily penalized.
Skin-- Fine and fairly loose. A loose skin rolls with briars and sticks, thus diminishing punctures or tearing. A skin so loose as to form pouches is undesirable.


Stricken PFI outsourcing company Carillion has collapsed into liquidation this morning, threatening to plunge small businesses in its supply chain and public service provision across hospitals, schools and prisons into chaos.
Questions must now be asked of Government and the UK Treasury, which has acted as a champion of rip-off PFI schemes since day one – why Carillion continued to be awarded large Government contracts? even after the scale of its financial woes became clear in 2017?
A 38 degrees petition launched by John Burgess calling for Carillion to be nationalised and public services and jobs protected has attracted over 1400 signatures, with many signatories expressing horror that UK banks were once again seeking to extort taxpayer funds from Government to bailout bankers largesse.
Polling undertaken by Yougov for Liverpool University on attitudes to corruption and PFI in Britain found that 68% of respondents in England believe PFI deals should be banned. In Scotland, which has the highest concentration of PFI projects in the world, this figure increases to 73%.
There are two ways to bring PFI contracts back in-house: Nationalising the Special Purpose Vehicles through which public funds are pumped into private pockets – a policy researched by People vs Barts PFI and supported by The People vs PFI, and PFI buyouts.
Buyouts of PFI are hugely expensive and private investors can walk away with their money early to invest in more PPPs. Nationalising the SPVs puts the government, not private companies, in a commanding position. Contracts will automatically become public and various forms of profiteering can be ended.
Thank you People vsPFI! You have not only got seriously onto the PFI scandal well in advance of everyone else , provided well-researched evidence, accessible information and clear explanations historically and across the field. You have come up with what looks like THE most serious possible solution: NATIONLISE THE SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLES (SPVs)!
– govt bailouts – again no penalties, again additionally burdening taxpayers, and colluding with the anti-democratic and anti-people big- business-govt cronyism from which we have suffered for far too long.
Jolly well done People v s PFI!! When is the Labour Party going to do something about progressing your great idea ? Time isn't on our side – especially for OUR NHS!
The problem – and a very big one – with the 38degrees petition is what it DOESN'T demand: Nationalise WITHOUT COMPENSATION!
There is every justification for this: they're in breach of contract and in any case have profiteered obscenely already.
The huge inadequacy and spinelessness of so much 38degrees stuff is sadly par for the course . When will they ever learn? Unfortunately it means I can't sign their petition – CAN WE PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER, PROPER ONE??!!
I'm a Socialist (ret Teacher ) musician essayist who read G.Monbiot on PFI and Skye Road Bridge fiasco.very many years ago ..so I'm totally opposed to PFI which I see as Britain feather bedding the Banks !


Our family had an awesome time in ClubMed, Phuket. It was perhaps the best holiday for Shaun Shaun and I. We loved everything about it.
ClubMed has a Mini Kid's Club where parents are able to register their kids from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The G.Os in ClubMed would take care of the kids with fun activities. Shaun Shaun and I were a little fussy. We only wanted certain activities. So Dadi had to sign us in and out in-between some activities. One of our top favourite activity was the archery. We loved it and we played everyday.
We enjoyed the beach and the swimming pool very much. We played by the beach every evening. Mami labelled us as the "beach boys" as we can play there for hours (if we were given the permission to do so).
We went for an excursion trip to the Safari Park where we had a bullock cart ride and an elephant ride. It was an amazing experience for me. I loved the rides. We also saw the elephant and monkey shows.
There were free flow of food and drinks all the time. Food selection was good. Covered different food from different countries. There were night shows and party at the bar daily, but we only attended one night show. Most of the time, we would be too tired as it only starts at 9 p.m.
I hope to be able to go to ClubMed in a different country in the future. It was a great holiday for me.
Looks like a very very fun-filled holiday. May I know how much are the rates at the Club Med that you went to?
About RM10,000 for 3 adults and 2 children for 4D3N.
Not inclusive of excursion trip.


← Summer of Supernovas Launch Party Liftoff!
What a thrill to have the very first foreign release of Summer of Supernovas a mere FOUR days away!
It's been such a delight to see how different countries are capturing Wil's story with their own unique images and words. And the Italian edition is no exception. Today, I'm outta-my-gourd excited to share Mondadori's adorable cover and title! So without further ado, let's get our ogle on!!!
I hope you adore this cover with sweet Wil and her stars as much as I do!


Think about your current training programs, and imagine them including a solution that allows learners to add their own links—in real time—to information that becomes part of the course archive or a solution that allows learners to write a blog about their experiences related to the topic at hand while in the midst of a discussion.
While many of these features are missing from current web-based training solutions, they are becoming readily available. In fact, many organizations are implementing these solutions today through a new web technology.
What technology is this? Web 2.0, of course.


Lesotho's parliamentary meetings have been suspended indefinitely in what many views as a move to protect Prime Minister Tom Thabane – at odds with the ruling All Basotho Convention – from a no confidence vote.
The National Assembly had its final meeting on Monday, while Thabane called a meeting of ABC lawmakers the next day, the Lesotho Times reported. He's hoping to forestall a crisis by smoothing out relationships after months of conflict between warring factions within his ABC party.
The divisions followed the February election of Nqosa Mahao to help lead the ABC's national executive committee, which historically has been a pathway for Lesotho leaders who succeed the prime minister. Mahao's success touched off a firestorm after Thabane had promised the ABC would never elect him, and he was rejected by ABC stalwarts who view Mahao as an outsider maneuvering his way to the top.
The suspension of Lesotho's parliament meetings provides a window to settle the ABC scores, while at least postponing a measure that would allow the National Assembly to cast secret ballots when a no-confidence vote is brought against a prime minister.
Lesotho has seen a number of such votes: Thabane took control in June 2017, as Lesotho's voters headed to the polls for the third time in five years to replace Pakalitha Mosisili, who in turn had replaced Thabane himself. The ABC is part of a governing coalition that includes the Alliance of Democrats (AD), Basotho National Party (BNP) Reformd Congress of Lesotho (RCL).
Meanwhile, there is deep concern over Lesotho's inability – yet again – to implement reforms in keeping with its Southern African Development Community (SADC) agreements. After several extensions, the SADC has been unyielding about its upcoming May 19 deadline.
The SADC has warned that Lesotho must implement a roadmap process focused on four sectors: constitutional reform, security sector, public service and media.

Robert C. Tuttle
Name Robert C. Tuttle
Owner Atlantic Refining Co, Philadelphia PA
Homeport Philadelphia
Route Port Arthur, Texas - Philadelphia
Cargo 152.000 barrels of crude oil
History Completed in July 1940
On 9 Apr 1942, the Robert C. Tuttle sustained minor damage in a collision with the Norwegian steam merchant Benwood (3931 grt) northeast of Molasses Reef, Florida. The Norwegian ship was grounded on the Alligator Reef but slid off and sank in shallow waters on 14 April.
1963 renamed Aldina for American Bulk Carriers Inc, New York. Broken up at Onomichi in October 1968.
The Robert C. Tuttle (Master Martin Johansen) traveled in the last position of the port column of the two-column convoy when at 23.04 hours a mine struck at the #2 tank on the starboard side about 100 feet from the stem. The explosion blew oil over the whole length and the second assistant engineer overboard, who drowned. As the engines were stopped, she swung out of the line because all forward compartments were flooded. The tanker settled by the bow, but rested on the bottom in 54 feet of water after ten minutes. The ship was awash to midships with the after section out of water. The eight officers, 33 crewmen, five armed guards and a Navy signalman abandoned ship in three lifeboats. After rowing six miles, they were taken in tow at 23.50 hours by USS PC-474 and brought to Little Creek, Virginia.
The back of the Robert C. Tuttle was broken, but the tanker was salvaged and brought into drydock in Baltimore, where she was repaired and returned to service.

The state of Colorado could soon allow political committees to accept contributions in cryptocurrency.
The Office of the Colorado Secretary of State published a new working draft of its "Rules Concerning Campaign and Political Finance" which notably includes a new section on cryptocurrency donations.
This was discussed at a meeting with the head of the Russian Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy Dmitry Mezentsev where both Russia and Iran described crypto as being a replacement of the SWIFT interbank payment system, use of which would also weaken any monetary sanctions imposed on countries, making Russia in cooperation with Iran on these benefits of using crypto.

Q: dependency injenction insert to database operation with unity and asp.net mvc I'm trying to integrate dependency injection by employing unity container in an ASP.NET MVC app. In the spirit of loose coupling, I apply constructor injection on my controller and my product data access class. This is a glimpse of the code :
public interface IProduct
{
   IEnumerable<Product> findAll();
   Product find(Guid id);
   void create();
}
public class Product()
{
    public Guid id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
    public decimal price { get; set; }

    //dependency
    private IDBEngine _engine = null;

    public Product(IDBEngine engine) {
        this._engine = engine;
    }

    public IEnumerable<Product> findAll() {
        using(IDBconnection connection = this._engine.getConnection())
        {
            connection.open();

            //implementation of fetching all datas from db

            return datas;
        }
    }

    public Product find(Guid id) {
        using(IDBconnection connection = this._engine.getConnection())
        {
            connection.open();

            //implementation of fetching single data given id from db

            return data;
        }
    }

    public void create(Product product)
    {
        using(IDBconnection connection = this._engine.getConnection())
        {
            connection.open();

            //implementation of insert data to db
        }
    }
}

well this is my implementation on my controller :

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly IProduct _product;

    public HomeController(IProduct product)
    {
        this._product = product;
    }

    public ActionResult index() {

        //this is OK
        var products = this._product.findAll();

        //this is also OK
        var product = this._product.find(Guid.Parse("some_guid"));

        //this is not OK, cause it made the controller depend on concrete class Product
        this._product.create(new Product {
            id = Guid.newGuid(),
            name = "Vader Shirt",
            price = 99.5
        });

        return View();
    }
}

I inject the Product instance to the controller via container with unity. When I call the findAll() and find() method, it was totally fine cause it still let me decouple the controller and the concrete class Product using the IProduct interface. But when I had to do insert operation via create(Product product) method, I had to create an instance of product to do so, hence coupled my controller to a concrete class : Product.
My question is how do I decoupled my controller and at the same time perform the create method from my controller? And I think it goes the same for the update operation.

A: Stephen Muecke gave a good advice there, try this:
public interface IProductService{
   void CreateProduct(Guid id, string name, double price);
   IEnumerable<Product> FindAll();
   IProduct Find(Guid id);
  }

then your controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly IProductService _productService;

    public HomeController(IProductService service)
    {
        this._productService = service;
    }

 public ActionResult index() {

        //this is OK
        var products = this._productService.FindAll();

        //this is also OK
        var product = this._productService.Find(Guid.Parse("some_guid"));

        this._productService.CreateProduct(
            id = Guid.newGuid(),
            name = "Vader Shirt",
            price = 99.5
        );

        return this.View();
    }
}

Once a year, Nevada's Black Rock Desert becomes Black Rock City – a temporary place fully dedicated to the arts and self-expression. One of the most notable installations there this year is Shogyo Mujo, a 365-degree projection-mapped skull sculpture created by Joshua Harker in collaboration with BARTKRESA design.
According to the creators, the concept is that this massive 30-foot skull structure represents our temporary physical state while the projection animations represent our imagination and dreams. "The installation symbolizes the temporary crossroads where they both exist as one," the website describes.
The original version, and 8-foot faceted version created by Josh Harker, was first shown in La Calaca festival in Mexico as a crowd-sourced project. The version created for burning man is more than 3x the size, and was funded through Kickstarter from June 26 to July 26 by 103 backers. The minimum gift backers received was the paper skull, 8 x 11 x 7 inches.
