Mihri Müşfik Hanım, auch Mihri Açba oder Mihri Rasim (* 26. Februar 1886 in Istanbul; † 1954 in New York City), war eine türkische Künstlerin. Sie gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Malerinnen der spätosmanischen Zeit. Bekannt war sie vor allem für ihre Porträts berühmter Persönlichkeiten wie Mustafa Kemal Atatürk und Papst Benedikt XV. sowie ihre Frauenporträts.

Leben
Mihri Müşfik Hanım wurde 1886 als Tochter eines adligen Abchasen im Istanbuler Stadtteil Kadıköy geboren. Ihr Vater war Çerkez Ahmed Rasim Pascha, ein Anatom und bedeutender Lehrer an der Militärmedizinischen Akademie. Er galt als sehr kunstinteressiert und förderte die Tochter früh. Mihri Hanıms abchasische Mutter war die Prinzessin Fatma Neședil Hanım, eine von Rasim Paschas Frauen. Ihre jüngere Schwester Enise Hanım war die Mutter der Malerin Hale Asaf. Wie viele Töchter der gehobenen osmanischen Gesellschaft erhielt auch Mihri Hanım eine westlich orientierte Bildung und interessierte sich für Literatur, Musik und Kunst. Ihre ersten Malstunden erhielt sie bei dem italienischen Maler Fausto Zonaro in dessen Atelier im Viertel Beşiktaş.

Als sich Mihri Hanım in den italienischen Direktor einer Akrobatengruppe verliebte, den sie bei Zonaro kennengelernt hatte, ging sie mit ihm nach Rom. Doch die Beziehung hielt nicht lange: Nach einem Jahr zog sie nach Paris, um in die dortige Kunstszene einzutauchen und Künstlerin zu werden. Sie lebte in einer kleinen Wohnung in Montparnasse und verdiente Geld mit Porträts. Außerdem vermietete sie einen ihrer Räume an Studenten. Einer dieser Untermieter war der Politikstudent Müşfik Selami Bey, den sie später heiratete.

In Paris wurde Mihri Hanım bei einem Empfang dem osmanischen Finanzminister Cavid Bey vorgestellt, der in der französischen Hauptstadt weilte, um nach den Balkankriegen ein Abkommen mit der Regierung auszuhandeln. Der Politiker scheint von der jungen Künstlerin begeistert gewesen zu sein, denn er schlug sie in einem Telegramm an den osmanischen Bildungsminister als Kunstlehrerin für die Schule für die Lehrerinnenausbildung in Istanbul vor. Sie wurde angenommen und ging deshalb 1913 nach Istanbul zurück. Als im folgenden Jahr auf ihre Initiative hin die İnas Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi, eine Kunsthochschule für Frauen, eröffnet wurde, wechselte sie als Lehrerin dorthin und wurde später deren Leiterin. Ihre Arbeit gilt als revolutionär. Nicht nur, dass nun Frauen zu Künstlerinnen ausgebildet werden konnten, Mihri Hanıms Unterricht galt als besonders anschaulich. Sie besorgte nicht nur Frauen, die Modell saßen, sondern lieh sich auch aus dem Antikenmuseum der Stadt Skulpturen, die die Studentinnen abzeichnen sollten. Das brachte ihr aber auch Ärger ein: Als sie eine nackte männliche Skulptur mit in den Unterricht bringen wollte, protestiere die Museumsleitung. Mihri Hanım umging einen Skandal, in dem sie der Statue ein Handtuch um die Hüften schlang. Immer wieder ermunterte sie ihre Schülerinnen, den bekannten Malern in den Ateliers über die Schulter zu schauen und unter freiem Himmel zu malen.

Mihri Hanım kam in Kontakt zu dem osmanisch-türkischen Literatenzirkel Edebiyat-ı Cedîde und freundete sich mit Tevfik Fikret an. Fikrets Haus im Stadtviertel Aşiyan wurde für die junge Künstlerin zum Atelier. Die Literaten der Edebiyat-ı-Cedîde-Bewegung waren beeinflusst von französischen Literaturströmungen wie dem Realismus, den Parnassiens und dem Symbolismus. Dies beeinflusste auch Mihri Hanıms Arbeit nachdrücklich. Ihre Arbeiten sind stark von der französischen Malerei inspiriert. Für Fikret fertigte sie Illustrationen zu dessen Gedichten an, immer wieder malte sie die Protagonisten der türkischen Literaturbewegung und wurde so zu ihrer Chronistin.

1919 flüchtete Mihri Hanım aus Istanbul. Ihre Nähe zum jungtürkischen Komitee für Einheit und Fortschritt wurde kritisiert und die Besetzung Istanbuls durch die Alliierten veränderte das Klima in der Stadt. Sie reiste nach Italien, kam aber innerhalb eines Jahres zurück und wurde wieder Lehrerin an ihrer alten Schule.

Ende des Jahres 1922 zerbrach ihre Ehe mit Müşfik Bey. Mihri Hanım reiste erneut nach Italien, das Paar ließ sich 1923 scheiden. Sie hatte eine Affäre mit dem italienischen Dichter Gabriele D'Annunzio. Durch ihn erhielt sie die Möglichkeit, den Papst zu porträtieren und konnte bei der Restaurierung von Fresken in einer Kapelle etwas Geld verdienen. Kurz nach der Gründung der Republik ging sie in die Türkei zurück. Ihre Nähe zu den Jungtürken zahlte sich aus: Sie durfte Atatürk malen und ihm das Porträt im Çankaya Köşkü in Ankara persönlich überreichen.

In den folgenden Jahren reiste Mihri Hanım nach Rom und Paris und später in die Vereinigten Staaten (New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C. und Chicago). Wann und warum sie die Türkei verließ und in die USA reiste, ist nicht bekannt. Am 25. November 1928 vermeldet die New York Times allerdings in einem kurzen Bericht, dass eine Sammlung von Werken der Türkin in der George Maziroff Gallery zu sehen sein werde.

1938 und 1939 arbeitete Mihri Hanım als Hostess bei der Weltausstellung in New York. In dieser Zeit malte sie auch ein Porträt von Rezzan Yelman, der Ehefrau des Journalisten Ahmet Emin Yalman, der in New York lebte. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs lebte sie von den Illustrationen, die sie für New Yorker Zeitschriften zeichnete. Nach dem Ende des Krieges verliert sich ihre Spur. Sie wurde 1954 nahezu mittellos in einem Armengrab auf Hart Island beigesetzt.

Bedeutung
Neben der herausragenden Rolle als Lehrerin für eine junge Generation von türkischen Künstlerinnen prägte Mihri Hanım auch das Bild der osmanischen Frauen ihrer Zeit. Sie stellte die Frauen nicht mehr als orientalische Schönheiten oder Odalisken dar, sondern als emanzipierte Frauen der gehobenen Gesellschaft. Gleichzeitig spiegeln ihre Arbeiten die gesellschaftlichen Umstände der Zeit, die stark von der von Atatürk verordneten Orientierung am Westen geprägt war.

A Carmen Herrera painting from 1978—a glorious two-panel zigzag in black and emerald—draws visitors into this engaging grab bag of work by women, selected from the collection of El Museo del Barrio. The exhibition makes astute connections across generations. Cristina Hernández Botero's "Pectoral de Luz" ("Shield of Light"), from 2005—a circular lightbox bearing a gold-pigment imprint of the artist's chest—invokes both pre-Columbian ritual and feminist performance art, such as Ana Mendieta's "Blood Sign," made three decades earlier and seen here in filmed documentation. Two works are united by their use of bubble-gum pink: an inflatable life jacket adorned with Velázquez-inspired vignettes, made by Scherezade Garcia in 1999, and the quinceañera dresses dotting a print by Carmen Lomas Garza, from 2005, an ingenious critique of the Chicano art movement's sidelining of women's concerns in the nineteen-sixties.

Subject to Scrutiny
January 15, 2011 · by Amir Bozorgzadeh	· Bookmark the permalink.	·
This clown is filled with vagaries like hot air within a balloon.
Men are truly like balloons. The more content they fill themselves with, the greater does the blown up linings take form. One grows to resemble a horse, another a dog, and the third a rat. The animal is shaped by some basic tendencies, perhaps inherent enough to be thought of as something essentially real. The content, though, is mere hot air, filled with properties which decide whether it will take flight or sink down heavy like an object which is a slave to the oppressive force of gravity. Analogies such as this can take us down a path ripe with rich symbols, offering insights which otherwise are locked away from us by a veil of ignorant mystery. If a man is indeed like a balloon, it would be fruitful to walk down the steps of this colourful simile so as to unlock all of its hidden implications.
The lining of the balloon and its qualities of elasticity refer to a man's traits: whether he has, for example, a tendency towards the arts, if he mocks proprieties, or possesses a penchant to negative daydreams. It is true enough that every person houses within them all of the characteristics found in all of daily life or Shakespearian dramas. That is, a man has in him all of the good and evil archetypes and can either be said to be, more or less, a balanced mix of all of these, or a caricature of a minority of them. It is the latter which gives bizarre forms to the balloon, where instead of a hearty rounded figure, it has its shape skewed into something quite uncanny. To bite one's nails would in this case contribute to a jagged feature, immediately available to sight by the length, width and breadth of the balloon.
The size of the balloon and its capacity to float and flutter or, on the other hand, trail against the ground, refers to the quality and nature of the content a man has fed on since his birth. In this case it should be acknowledged that a man's capacity to eat and digest content from life is far greater at the beginning of his journey than at the end. A diminishing rate, dictated by a logarithmic scale, makes it that a man consumes material from life experience 1,000 times slower at old age than to that of infancy. His mouth, for lack of a better term, becomes ever more constricted, and ever less able to chew and masticate the crude into the fine. So the content which filled the child will always impact him tremendously more in later life than do any great volumes of experience in his more respectable years.
If a man is enamored by the hot air which forms his reality, and to which he attaches his sense of identity, than that content — which isn't real — will weigh on him like anchored rules and laws which turn the clown into stone rather than flesh. Realizing the fate of such a heavy balloon, he may be struck with the notion that it would be better to disbelieve and devalue the hot air and place his attention purely on the tendencies which make him one way and not another. He will wonder, why do I have this tendency, why do I walk, think and feel in such a way? He will struggle to see and realize what bearing all of these patterns of behaviour have on his past, present and future. "Does it really objectively matter", he wonders, "if I am this way or that way?" The shape will seem ever more arbitrary, and the tendencies which determine the shape will become ever more subject to scrutiny.

Q: Need help with finishing integration I have the following integral: $$y=\int \frac{1}{1-2\sqrt{x}} \, dx$$
I first got $u=2\sqrt{x}$ which gives us $x=\frac{u^2}{4}$.  Plugging this in I got:
$$y=\int \frac{1}{1-2\sqrt{\frac{u^2}{4}}} \, du=\int \frac{1}{1-2(\frac{u}{2})} \, du=\int \frac{1}{1-u} \, du$$
After this I am not sure where to go from there.  Even though there might be easier methods I'd prefer to stick with this method so please relate your responses to my correct or incorrect work shown above.

A: The substitution step that you made is incorrekt. Regarding the integral:
$$\int{\frac{dx}{1-2\sqrt{x}}}$$
Let $x(\phi) = \phi^2/4$, then $\frac{dx}{d\phi}=\frac{\phi}{2}$, now substitute it:
$$\frac{1}{2}\int{\frac{\phi}{1-\phi}d\phi}$$
To make it nicer to work with, you can rearrange it as follows:
$$
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{2}\int{\frac{1}{1-\phi}-1\ d\phi} &= -\frac{1}{2}\left(\log{|1-\phi|}+\phi\right)+K
\\
&= -\frac{1}{2}\left(\log{|1-2\sqrt{x}|}+2\sqrt{x}\right)+K
\end{align}
$$
Where $K$ is an arbitrary constant.

A: We have $$ \int \frac{1}{1-2\sqrt{x}}dx$$
Substitute $u = 2\sqrt{x}$ so that $x = \frac{u^2}{4}$ and $dx = \frac{u}{2}du$. We get $$ \int \frac{u}{2(1-u)}du $$
Now, it can be done from here, but since you're learning, make another substitution which might help you seeing "typical" integral here.
Let $t = 1-u$ so that $u= 1-t$ and $du = -dt$. We get
$$ \int \frac{1-t}{2t}(-dt) = -\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{t} - \frac{t}{t} dt = -\frac{1}{2} \Big ( \int \frac{1}{t} dt - \int 1 dt \Big) $$
You should know those integrals. Preciselly:
$$ \int \frac{1}{t} dt = \ln|t| + C_1 $$
and
$$ \int 1 dt = t + C_2$$
So that taking $C=-\frac{1}{2}(C_1 + C_2) \in \mathbb R$ we have:
$$ \int \frac{1}{1-2\sqrt{x}}dx = -\frac{1}{2} \big ( \ln|t|  - t \big) + C $$ and now go back to variable $x$:
$$\int \frac{1}{1-2\sqrt{x}}dx= -\frac{1}{2}\ln|1-u| + \frac{1}{2}(1-u) + C = -\frac{1}{2}\ln|1-2\sqrt{x}| + \frac{1}{2}(1-2\sqrt{x}) + C $$

A: here is my nice answer is
Let $u= 1-2\sqrt x$, $du=-dx/\sqrt x$, $(u-1)du/2=dx$,
$\int \dfrac{dx}{1-2\sqrt x}$
$=\int \dfrac{(u-1)/2\ du}{u}$
$=\dfrac12\int (1-\frac1u)du$
$=\dfrac12 (u-\ln|u|)+c$
put $u=1-2\sqrt x$
$=-\dfrac12 (2\sqrt x+\ln|1-2\sqrt x|)+c$

It's been quite some time since I've updated my blog, and since a lot has happened this year, I figured it was time for a new post.
To start things off, I got married this past Summer to the love of my life. We had an outdoor ceremony on the hottest day of July surrounded by our friends and family, followed by a beautiful reception at the Serbian Centre in Windsor. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! After our wedding and honeymoon, I went into thesis-writing-mode and was miraculuously able to successfully defend in September. Final edits were made, and I am now just waiting for my diploma to arive so I can call myself a Master of Science! Lastly, to really live life in hard-more, while writing and editing and then defending my thesis, I also bought a house. What a year!
So now you're all caught up. Hopefully I'll have more time to keep this site up to date now that the dust has settled.

Future of Cash: Impact of Covid-19 on Payments
by Alan Jackson — 3 years ago in Future 4 min. read
The intersection of global emergency and revolutionary changes in international payment and transaction methods has called for a new way to maintain financial liquidity in markets.
Since the onset of the epidemic in December, businesses across the country have been facing volatile financial markets and concerns over future cash flows and uncertainty of revenue are increasing.
The whole world of small and medium-sized companies is on a constant struggle for survival due to frozen demands and the contingent government announced the lockdown.
COVID-19 is the result of a decrease in cash being used as a medium of exchange. Part of the reason is the inability to have physical access to execute such payments during lockdown.
The potential threat of money bills being the carrier of the virus made it a more discouraging option. These people have been forced to switch to digital payments as an urge to obtain essential goods.
Cash processing agencies, such as banks, are run in short hours or only for important transactions. Cashless payments can then become a permanent fixture in the economic exchange ecosystem.
However, a strong digital payment system has not yet been achieved in the country due to the many structural challenges that impede the growth in cashless transactions.
Technological advances, the current emergency and the need for cashless transactions have erased such rock blocks to some extent.
Electronic payments that faced many obstacles and hurdles in bricks and mortar shops, as well as challenges such as cybercrime, fraud, and privacy concerns.
The widespread move to contactless, cashless payment systems gives rise to concerns about the impact on low-income consumers, often mobile members and members of minority groups who do not have access to credit or debit cards.
For now, moving away from cash is obvious and cannot be dismissed completely. While a society that is not fully redeemed may not be the approach for the time being, the following factors are likely to affect market participants because the Kovid-19 epidemic will likely have a long-term impact on consumer behavior.
Reduced cash transactions in the system are facilitated by concerted efforts of various stakeholders.
Important considerations for Future of Cash
A complex Digital Payment Setup
A number of choice available with distinct technological frame and regulations make it hard to work for a normal citizen. What's more, the absence of uniform technological progress has kept customers from embracing digital payment methods wholeheartedly.
The climbing rural inhabitants getting connected to high-speed net and smartphones, electronic startups have concentrated on creating bonded consumer-friendly methods to be able to construct confidence and induce adoption.
Aadhar-based welfare delivery along with a constant push towards formalization of trades are the cornerstones of their present government's policies.
The introduction of the Unified Transaction Interface (UPI) and the Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) program is accelerating the movement towards a cashless economy.
It has given an impetus to the emerging electronic transactions industry in India. What's more, the government has come to the help of troubled citizens announcing simpler means of trade, moving cashless.
The need for a minimum balance requirement fee stays no longer along with reduced electronic fees for trades.

The Intermediary interference and charges
The expenses related to internet payment via RTGS and NEFT programs also have produced a hindrance.
These methods aren't only costly but also time-consuming in a time when there are lots of technologies available offering real-time fund transport. Startups are now focusing on technology providing faster digital payment options to the customers will have a better chance to get forward, POS terminals, Biometric Authentication Integration, QR Codes are used by onboard retailers.
Among the chief challenges in electronic payments is that the interchange fee. The Finance Ministry has announced relaxations like elimination of debit card ATM fees to help raise the amount of trades.
Maintenance of Data Security
Data storage is among the most crucial and essential facets of cashless payment procedures. The large risks related to cybersecurity have kept customers threatened by embracing digital payment.
Digital obligations Banks and E-Wallet businesses have set up secure, secure, and compliant information centres in their assumptions.
For improved safety measures, wallets and banks are currently utilizing Aadhar Based payment methods using Biometrics, OTP (One Time Password), EMV (Chip+Pin) technologies for card approval.
Collaboratively those have consistently helped in keeping data security for businesses in addition to customers.
Adherence to Regulatory Compliances
For electronic payments especially during pockets, you will find guidelines issued by RBI in India. These guidelines become revised on a timely basis that makes way for a more transparent ecosystem in the payments area.
Firms offering wallets are expected to convert present pockets which are without KYC to complete KYC. KYC complaints may use the elongated monthly limitation. Later on, these constraints need additional relaxation to encourage the requirements of the people.

There's another significant challenge these payment methods face reaction time to perform a trade. The intricate authentication method and connected chances of payment frauds and failure have disheartened the consumers in several cases.
In spite of the motives behind it, each unsuccessful trade causes aggravation to a client. Repeated failures might even lead to customers feeling frustrated regarding the lender's service quality and capacities.
These answers are recognized immediately for corrective steps to be undertaken. The contemporary UPI system which makes the authentication in-built in the smartphone has eliminated the time required to execute a trade.
Cryptocurrency – The new era of digital transaction
A cryptocurrency is an electronic"advantage" that utilizes peer-to-peer media making it decentralized and more widely accessible.
The advantage is an electronic"token" without a backing or inherent worth. The method utilized is fresh blockchain technology. Blockchain information is saved in blocks or groups of data.
It's not possible to delete or change information previously saved on the series because blocks are duplicated across several ledgers.
For the aforementioned mentioned reasons, blockchain is extremely secure. Each user has a exceptional private and public key. The public important acts as a username or an email address.
It enables users to move a cryptocurrency to and from other customers straight. The private key is comparable to a private password which provides individual users access to their own cryptocurrency accounts or electronic wallets.
Their end of the medical catastrophe is past anticipation, the main implication of the exact same would lead citizens becoming habituated to using digital payment systems, practically by force.
The technological set up of smartphone penetration improving considerably, with nearly 5.1 billion absolute unique cellular consumers and 3.7 billion exceptional cellular internet users, will help smooth adoption of electronic programs for payments.

Village Eke Out Last-Minute Win, Old Road, Conaree Held
A last gasp goal from Joseph Wilkes sealed a dramatic 1-0 victory for Rams Village Superstars
over S-Krave Newtown United on Saturday May 22, 2021 in the SKNFA Premier League at the
Warner Park. The match seemed poised to end 0-0, as both teams battled but failed to find the
back of the net. But when a ball was booted into the 18-yard box late on, and Newtown
defenders failed to clear their lines, Wilkes emerged and rocketed a shot into the roof of the net
in the 4th minute of stoppage time sending his teammates into a wild celebration.
Coach Leroy Liburd of Village spoke about the elation for that last minute win and the effort
they gave in the second half to change the direction of the game. "We made a few adjustments.
We moved some players around in different positions that we thought serve our objective well. It
was a keenly contested game; there weren't many differences between both teams. I think
Newtown played a better first half, we played a much better second half. We were fortunate in
some instances but in the end, we were good enough to get a 1-0 victory," Coach Liburd said.
For Coach Earl Jones, he was obviously disappointed with the loss, but was heartened by his
team's performance. "For me I think we won. You could see clearly that the game was favoring
us but that's how the game goes. Who scores the most goals win," Jones said.
This is the second match under Coach Jones since his return to the club and some
commentators suggest the team has improved in performance since. Coach Jones said all he did
was motivated the players to perform better. "I wouldn't say I did much differently. I just put a
little more energy in the guys," he said. "Technically we are a really good team, but I believe
some of us we got to work on the mental part of the game and as you can see it was a mental
lapse out there tonight…it's tough for me I must say…We are down but not out," he added.

Sylvester Caines 45th min
Old Road struggled all night with injuries with some of their top players such as league leading
scorer Tiquanny Williams, who was subbed off early in the first half. Coach Lester Morris
comments after the match. "My team was basically sticking to the game plan, trying to get
forward, get into the box and looking for their shots and I thought we were equal to it; that's
how we got our first goal," Morris said. He said after scoring the first goal, the team relaxed a
bit and strayed away from the game plan. "I think after a while, the injuries started getting to us
and because of that we had to make a lot of substitutions, put guys in some unusual positions
and that is what basically made some of the differences tonight," he said.
For Conaree Club President Delwayne Delaney, the match was a tough one, but they prevailed.
"I thought we could have gotten that equalizer a bit earlier. That might have given us a little
momentum to get our second goal. But because we had that halftime break that would have
probably allowed Old Road to regroup a bit so that's why we couldn't push for that second
goal," Delaney said. He wished the injured players on the Old Road team speedy recovery but
said this team has work to do on the training ground. "I think we would have not played our
best game and we definitely have to go back on the training pitch and work on some things,"
Delaney added.

Q: Sending a paste command to a specific X11 window I'm launching multiple instances of a game via bash. Each instance has it's own login password, which I can retrieve from my password manager, which will place it in the clipboard. I'd like to send each instance it's corresponding password and an "Enter" key event, to log them in automatically. The game runs inside a wine virtual desktop, and each instance has a unique window title in WM_NAME.
Any way I can automate the login process?

A: try xte & wmctrl packages... Using wmctrl, you can focus any specific window & using xte, you can fake keystrokes.

*

*Based on title, you can focus any window, using wmctrl.

*They add some time delay, if required

Carl Rattner & Win Zibeon: Kindred Spirits Revisited
Receptions Sunday, March 18 from 2-4 and Wednesday, April 11 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Win Zibeon and Carl Rattner first met in 1990's as founding members of the Piermont Flywheel Gallery. At the PFG, and in group shows at the Hopper House, ROCA, AMAG and the John F. Peto Museum, their work often appeared together. Their first two person exhibit (Kindred Spirits) was at the Pomona Cultural Center in 2002.
Kindred Spirits Revisited brings these artists together again.
While Win is a painter and Carl a sculptor, their work displays similar sensibilities. Both have been inspired by the Surrealists' love for the unusual and the seemingly illogical. René Magritte's trompe l'oeil style is evident in Win's work, perhaps most dramatically in forms that appear to float and in his picture frames, which we soon discover are not really frames at all, but skillful simulations of gilded wood.
The sensuous biomorphic / architectonic form contrasts of Jean Arp are evident in Carl's work, perhaps most dramatically in forms that appear to melt or morph into different shapes and textures.
While both Win and Carl have used their skills to create playful visual puns and eye catching imagery, both have explored the use of metaphor to express more serious themes relevant to our physical and emotional vulnerabilities and our threatened environment.

MAYA SHOSHANI: MY PLASTIC CRUSH
Jan 15th through Feb 25th
Reception Wednesday, Feb 7 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Maya Shoshani's work envisions "plastic" as both a material and an idea. By sculpting domestic, suburban scenes from common building materials that are commercially fabricated to mimic other materials like wood and brick, Shoshani reflects "a place's identity by using elements that are authentic to the environment." In "My Plastic Crush," the viewer encounters familiar images, like a generic gas station sign or the Shell icon, but these images are removed from their usual environment. This in turn lends the perception that they are fake: the real image, placed in an unfamiliar environment, no longer seems real. In her work, the authentic is difficult to define.
Furthermore, Shoshani's use of archetypal images of the suburban American Dream, like a white picket fence, A-frame houses, and flowers, evoke the concepts of "place" and "home." Her sculptures are neither laudetory nor dismissive of the collective American Dream. Instead of venerating or mocking the desire for that "white picket fence," her reflective materials reflect our desires and dreams back to us.
Maya Shoshani was born in Atlanta, raised on a kibbutz in Israel, and currently lives and works in New York City. Her work has been exhibited in New York and Georgia. Although her academic training focuses on the arts, she has also been involved in different businesses and worked as a teacher in various capacities.
WORLD WAR I: LASTING IMPACT
Nov 13th through Dec 18th
Reception Wednesday, Nov 29 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm, Talk by Harry Klancer of Infoage Science History Learning Center at 5:30
Now in 2017, it is the voices who were against the war—World War I and America's participation in it, that resonate the most, as if the longer we have to look back, the clearer these anti-war voices have become. Take for instance Hemingway's own words in his short story In Another Country: "this was a long time ago and then we did not any of us know how it was going to be afterward. We only knew then that there was always the war, but we were not going to it anymore." Hemingway's wounded narrator is suggesting that the wounds of war, both physical and psychological, never leave those who participate in it. This then is one way to view the images presented by a range of artists in Lasting Impact—a reimagining of what World War I and its legacy means to us today, and perhaps equally important, what we have learned or failed to learn from its enduring history.
This program is part of World War I and America, a two-year national initiative of Library of America presented in partnership with The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the National World War I Museum and Memorial, and other organizations, with generous support from The National Endowment for the Humanities. Co-sponsored locally by St. Thomas Aquinas College, The Nyack Library, the African American Historical Society of Rockland and Infoage Science History Learning Center.
Participating artists and speakers: Andranik Aroutunian, Bruce Beyer, Reineke Hollander, Bo Kim, Harry Klancer, Jason Laning, Marie Edie Meeks, David Means, Andrew Stearns, Daniel Rothman and students in ART 228: History of Graphic Design- Amanda Fidlow, Ulyana Kitcmanuk, Emerald Perez, Kyle Reinhardt, Faralynn Sanchez, Dominique Smith, Christian Torgersen and Aida Torpey.

TIMOTHY HULL: THE ARCHAIC SMILE
Oct 9th through Nov 5th
Reception and Artist Talk Wednesday, Oct 18 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Timothy Hull's work seeks to present narratives from the past that are firmly rooted in the present. His installation is layered- physically using impasto and stacked canvases layered on shelves, and conceptually drawing from the aesthetics of the ancient and contemporary. Hull's scholarly interests include, "glyphs, texts, epigraphs, and wall graffiti from antiquity; visual instances of homosexuality in Ancient Greece; sensuous and stylized vases; politics of museum display; and the ruins that remain from the ancient world." In The Archaic Smile, these interests combine into a mixed-media and site specific body of work.
Through his use of muted, almost desaturated color and repeated silhouettes painted flat behind the installations, Hull creates an environment for contemplation. The space between the pieces reflect their debt to ancient ruins, the canvases propped against each other like Roman marbles remaining after the fall of the Empire.
Hull splits his time between studios in Brooklyn and Warwick, NY. He has shown his work internationally, in solo shows in NY and LA and groups shows at the Tate modern, in London and in Paris, Milan and Tokyo. He is a Visiting Professor at Pratt, was a Teaching Artist in Residence at Cooper Union and is an adjunct here at St. Thomas Aquinas College.
WERNER SUN: MAPMAKER'S DREAM
Sept 4th through Oct 1st
Reception and Artist Talk Wednesday, Sept 13 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Werner Sun's training as a particle physicist colors his art making practice. Digital abstractions and pixilated landscapes are meticulously cut and folded to add dimension and further deconstruction. The images fall between two and three-dimensionality, mapping a world both computer generated and man made. The mystery in the work is implicit. According to Sun, "Artists deal openly with mystery all the time, routinely asking questions that have no answers. But scientists, as well, will readily attest that the mysteries they pursue are never fully resolved. Every discovery in science, every successful explanation of the natural world inevitably gives rise to new questions. When all is said and done, we may understand a bit more about the universe, but there is always a vast amount that remains unknown."
The folded nature of his work evokes both origami and textile patterns and plays into our natural desire to find patterns as a way to explain abstract and novel concepts. The intimate nature of many of the pieces compels the viewer move closer, allowing this new landscape to envelop the full field of vision. His use of folded paper reinforces the physicality of his photographs, even as it reduces the fidelity of the images.
Sun has exhibited his work throughout the Northeast and has been published in both art and science journals. After obtaining undergraduate and graduate degrees in physics, he became a research associate at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education, where he is currently the IT Director.

Continued Learning and Professional Moves in the New Normal
The pandemic has shown us just how fast things can change. Our lives were turned upside down at the drop of a hat as lockdowns and safety protocols had people sheltering in place and businesses closing their doors. During our time spent indoors, many people have also gotten an opportunity to take a closer look at their professional and personal lives.
As work shifts to a hybrid or completely remote setup, it's taken on a new form in a world post-pandemic. The modern era provides the workforce with multiple avenues for growth and opens up doors to new careers entirely. Integrating technology into modern businesses has resulted in companies quickly changing and adapting to the ever-changing health and safety protocols.
During these times, where our general mobility is limited, it's also perfectly normal to feel stifled or stunted. As opportunities for advancement begin to diminish due to companies still adjusting to the new normal, employees are now actively looking for better opportunities outside of their current employers. What's now being called the great resignation is also affected by the lack of work-life balance in some company cultures.
Prioritizing the importance of the workforce's physical and mental health with healthy working hours and manageable workloads seems to be the benchmark for work in the new normal. What used to glorify the hustle and grind has significantly shifted to chasing a well-balanced lifestyle. Many opportunities have popped up that meet these criteria while also appealing to employees from various industries.
Shifting career paths and advancement require you to further develop your skill set. Short courses and workshops have increasingly become popular online. Multiple platforms have popped up offering courses that help you develop different skills from coding to management. These courses not only help you understand the lay of the land better should you be entering an entirely new industry, but it also helps you achieve the necessary knowledge base needed for a possible promotion.
The educational system has also mobilized to meet the demand of the workforce, offering certificate courses that provide a more in-depth curriculum for employees. As we transition into the new normal, these courses have moved to be available online and, in some cases, face to face. The increased demand for medical professionals has also caused CNA programs and other professional certificate courses to become a popular career choice for those looking to enter the medical field.
Shifting the majority of the workforce to working from home brings up unique management challenges regardless of industry. In the early pandemic, most industries saw a decrease in productivity as employees struggled to adjust to working at home. However, as time goes on, we see that after the necessary training and systems were put into place, productivity in the information technology, marketing, and advertising fields has increased despite these hurdles.
The initial learning curve was navigated with the help of management professionals targeting to bridge the gap of a disassembled workforce. While a wide array of software programs can help corporations track employee productivity and efficiency, management still plays a major role in employee satisfaction.
Major tech companies have started implementing changes to their organizational structures to make room for remote management professionals who specialize in better corporate communications, scheduling, and workload allocation.
Another aspect of the workforce that needed to be considered was the integration of technology and automation. Navigating that intersection of human and robotic or AI elements proved tricky for even the more prominent international corporations.
Digital Marketing and Advertising
It's no surprise that once people were stuck in their homes, almost everyone started using their tech devices more. Whether it was their smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, laptops, or personal computers, everyone was in front of a screen. Due to the increase of eyes on online platforms, brands started looking into marketing and advertising plans tailored to the digital consumer.
Brand communication for traditional media versus digitally, while not all that different in terms of selling point, delivery was undoubtedly different. Digitally savvy professionals became highly sought after in these fields. Agencies started looking for a younger generation of employees who understood the algorithms of various platforms and could comprehend their analytics with the help of social listening tools.
Businesses continue to show their resilience despite these difficult times by crafting innovative ideas to serve their consumers. Because of this resilience, the workforce also continues to adapt and move towards industries seemingly ahead of the curve.

Definition – What is the meaning of Bacillus Lichenformis?
Description and significance Bacillus licheniformis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium. (6) It tends to form spores in soil which makes it desirable to be used for the industrial purposes such as the production of enzymes, antibiotics, and small metabolites. It produces a variety of extracellular enzymes that are associated with the cycling of nutrients in nature.
Its optimal growth temperature is 50°C, but it can also survive at much higher temperatures. Its optimal temperature for enzyme secretion is 37°C. This bacterium can survive harsh environments by turning into spore-form; when conditions are good, it will turn back into a vegetative state.
licheniformisproduces a protease that can survive at high pH levels.
licheniformisproduces a variety of extracellular enzymes that are associated with the cycling of nutrients in nature. It is a pathogenic soil organism that is mostly associated with plant and plant materials in nature. Although it is most common to isolate this bacterium from is soil, it is believed that B. licheniformiscan actually be isolated from practically anywhere since it produces highly resistant endospores that are spread around with dust.
B. licheniformis is used to make the antibiotic Bacitracin. Bacitracin is composed of a mixture of the cyclic polypeptides that B. licheniformis produces; ironically the purpose of Bacitracin is to inhibit the growth of B. licheniformis. Bacitracin lyses the proplasts of B. licheniformis in the presence of cadmium or zinc ions.
Bacillus licheniformis is a spore-forming soil organism that contributes to nutrient cycling and has antifungal activity. There is current research on B. licheniformis (strain SB3086) and its effects as a microbial fungicide. Novozymes Biofungicide Green Releaf contains B. licheniformis strain SB3086 as an active main ingredient. This fungicide can be used on lawns, conifers, tree seedlings, ornamental turf and ornamental plants in outdoor, greenhouse, and nursery sites. There are concerns regarding the safety of this fungicide. Reports about Bacillus licheniformis having detrimental effects on insect, avian, plant, and estuarine marine species are fortunately almost non-existent.
licheniformis is the source material from which the antibiotic Bacitracin is produced. As a probiotic, B. licheniformis is used to perform the same function as it does in Bacitracin: to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
This positive bacterium also works to promote better immune function, and it produces protease, an enzyme which is necessary for proper gut health.


In the second year of their Feeding Dreams promotion, General Mills expanded their scope from four cities to ten (10) including: Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Columbus, Jacksonville, Jackson, Memphis, Miami, New Orleans and Norfolk. Feeding Dreams is a community initiative that selects a Community Hero doing wonderful things to represent each city. The Community Heroes then compete against each other for the most votes online. Winners are selected based on vote totals. General Mills utilized Burrell Communications, their national multicultural ad agency. Burrell Communications engaged the Spotset Radio Network (a Trust Marketing affiliate) to execute Feeding Dreams across the (10) city landscape.
An extensive community relations, integrated multicultural marketing campaign across the ten markets was launched including: public relations, digital, radio, online ads, event sampling and retail visibility. Spotset Radio created a radio network, partnering with stations across all ten cities during a sixty (60) day period.
The Feeding Dreams campaign generated tremendous, grassroots community support, positive perception, heightened awareness and about $735,000 in added value. Most significantly, the campaign generated over 260,000 online votes. Comparably, Feeding Dreams achieved more votes online from ten cities than the Today Show's Today throws a Wedding did with votes received from everywhere the Today Show is viewed. Feeding Dreams year two results moved former Chief Marketing Officer Mark Addicks to deem it one of General Mills' most successful promotions…ever.

Q: How to execute a shell script on all nodes of an EMR cluster? Is there a proper way to execute a shell script on every node in a running EMR hadoop cluster?
Everything I look for brings up bootstrap actions, but that only applies to when the cluster is starting, not for a running cluster.
My application is using python, so my current guess is to use boto to list the IPs of each node in the cluster, then loop through each node and execute the shell script via ssh.
Is there a better way?

A: If your cluster is already started, you should use steps.
The steps are executed after the cluster is started, so technically it appears to be what you are looking for.
Be careful, steps are executed only on the master node, you should connect to the rest of your nodes in some way for modifyng them.

Steps are scripts as well, but they run only on machines in the
  Master-Instance group of the cluster. This mechanism allows
  applications like Zookeeper to configure the master instances and
  allows applications like Hbase and Apache Drill to configure
  themselves.

Modernity Britain: Opening the Box, 1957-59 by David Kynaston
Blurb: The late 1950s was an action-packed, often dramatic time in which the contours of modern Britain began to take shape. These were the 'never had it so good' years, when the Carry On film series and the TV soap Emergency Ward 10 got going, and films like Room at the Top and plays like A Taste of Honey brought the working class to the centre of the national frame; when the urban skyline began irresistibly to go high-rise; when CND galvanised the progressive middle class; when 'youth' emerged as a cultural force; when the Notting Hill riots made race and immigration an inescapable reality; and when 'meritocracy' became the buzz word of the day. The consequences of this 'modernity' zeitgeist, David Kynaston argues, still affect us today. (Bloomsbury)
Richard Davenport-Hines, The Guardian
"David Kynaston resembles a novelist impersonating a historian. His books read like fiction disguised as documentary … shrewd, funny and ever-readable … The subtle, unsentimental and never condescending discussions of class are a highpoint of this book."
Sam Leith, The Spectator
"Kynaston is a historian who likes to get out of the way. You seldom read a decisive judgment or a grand-sweep generalisation. Rather, he rummages in the attic and pulls a whole clattering cavalcade of interesting junk down on himself: details in more or less chronological order, retailed in a telegraphic style … Sometimes — as you zing from Doris Bonkers's seaside holiday to a Sunday League football result and thence to a discussion of economic policy via an itemisation of what was on telly that weekend — you find yourself wanting him to pull focus a bit. But here — which is the point — is the texture of life as it was lived."
Jonathan Coe, Prospect
"…you start to realise that his writing is not as apolitical as it appears: that underpinning the whole procedure is a profound scepticism of authority—the authority, that is, of those in any kind of power, which by implication includes historians themselves. Kynaston mistrusts "opinion-formers" and that mistrust extends to writers who seek to form their readers' opinions. All his instincts, in other words, incline towards the freedom of ordinary people to have their own voice and their own way of life. Both his politics and his philosophy of history are radically democratic."
Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
"Modernity Britain is both even-handed and exhilarating, a rare combination … Was ever a history book so authoritative and, at the same time, quite so entertaining?"
Dominic Sandbrook, The Sunday Times
"Kynaston's many fans will be pleased to hear that Modernity Britain has all the virtues of his previous volumes. There is no real narrative and there are no central characters; instead, he weaves a dazzling array of sources into an apparently seamless tapestry, plunging the reader head first into everyday life in the late 1950s … Above all, Kynaston is a historian of tremendous compassion … [A] splendid book"
Gerard DeGroot, Sunday Telegraph
"Modernity Britain is an outstanding book, a delightful and often funny mix of the profound and the mundane that presents an enormously instructive glimpse into a time when supermarkets, Carry On films and Galaxy bars were cutting edge. Comparisons will inevitably be made with Dominic Sandbrook's cumbersome volumes on post-war Britain, yet Sandbrook is a mere assembler of facts while Kynaston possesses unique sensitivity to their meaning. While this is technically a book about the three years before Britain turned fabulous in the Sixties, it is, more importantly, a primer for the political battles of the Wilson, Thatcher and Blair years."
Charles Moore, Daily Telegraph
"These books are so admirable and interesting that I want to spend most of this article explaining why. But let me just get my few criticisms out of the way first. The book contains too little about rural life, too little about the upper classes, and, although others will disagree, too much about football … The greater problem is that often people are not explained … But Kynaston is brilliant and funny in his selection of material, and almost always, through the mass of little things, knows how to lead the reader to the big ones."
Mark Damazer, New Statesman
"This is social, cultural and political history, more or less in that order, with a smile on its face … Mostly he launches bombardments of facts, quotes, stories and numbers interspersed with pithy and shrewd editorial observations. He more than gets away with it – but I could have done with an overture about the impact on national morale of the Suez catastrophe the previous year, and there were times when I was beseeching him to change tack and digest all his rich ingredients on a theme into a coherent and conclusive whole."
Peter Clarke, Financial Times
"He is seen at his best in deftly building up his mosaics with a sense of pattern that often emerges by stealth from a chaos of fragments, with an enviable knack for catching the attention of a wide readership."
Paul Addison, Literary Review
"The narrative is beautifully composed and Kynaston digs deeper than previous historians, but he is excavating the same sites … Kynaston castigates Richard Hoggart and Michael Young, the gurus of the liberal Left, for sentimentalising the 'traditional' working class and failing to understand the legitimate aspirations of workers in a consumer society. Their ideas, he maintains, were disastrous for Labour in the long run. This seems to me a cavalier judgement, unfair to both Hoggart and Young."

Q: should i use memcache with a noSQL database? In an architecture where i have a cache between the MySQL database and the application.  i am having the issue of data consistency, as my cache is for a longer time than 20 minutes, as it is a very high load server.
My question is if I use a noSql database, is it necessary to still have a cache server? The idea is a memcache between the application layer and database layer.
Thinking of an alternative to my current architecture.

A: Memcached is less important to Cassandra now than was the case a few years ago. The Cassandra read latencies have improved a lot and SSDs help out as well. It mostly depends on your latency demands. Here's an interesting link from Netflix on how they were able to remove their caching layer from an example cluster and get the same performance with SSD based nodes in AWS: Netflix TechBlog
The short version is they were able to get an 80 node Cassandra + cache cluster down to 15 nodes by switching to SSD based EC2 nodes.
I would start with an SSD based Cassandra cluster and add the caching layer if it is needed for extremely low latency reads.

A: We use Cassandra for heavy read/write load with no caching at all. Something one usually can't think of doing with a relational database. Well, even Solr /get handler or ElasticSearch's retrieve document should not require anything in the middle. Of course it depends on your loads, but generally, whereas caching is a requirement to accommodate relational backends it may not be the case with noSQL.

A: If you are referring to consisitncy in the database layer, Cassandra will not give you the consistency you desire since it provides eventual consistency only. Cassandra will provide you fast writes, but no guarantee of that data being distributed consistently across the cluster. Yes, it may guarantee the write to another node's commit log if you have the ALL consistency flag set. But that only means the data is replicated safely, since that data gets will be eventually written to the database.
@stinkymatt is right, you can even add SSD if money is not an option to speed up process of persisting the data across the cluster.

Android News / Wearables News / TCL Will Show Off More Foldable Device Concepts At IFA 2019
TCL Will Show Off More Foldable Device Concepts At IFA 2019
TCL, a name that you might not associate much with the mobile market, is preparing to show off some more foldable device concepts at IFA next week in Berlin.
The company showed off a few different foldable device concepts at Mobile World Congress back in late-February. And now they have a few more concepts that should be closer to a real consumer product, to show off at IFA next week.
TCL is planning to launch some foldable devices in 2020, however no specific date nor product has been confirmed by the company.
On top of that, it's planning its own branded smartphone launch for IFA.
TCL won't be known for just TVs anymore
Known for its TVs, TCL is looking to make a big splash in the mobile market this year. Even though it's technically been in the mobile market for quite some time already.
TCL owns a few different smartphone brands, like Alcatel and BlackBerry. Which are the brands it uses to sell its smartphones in Western markets like the US. But TCL actually sells its own branded phones in China already.
Now, TCL is looking to leverage that brand for its smartphone business, instead of relying on Alcatel and BlackBerry, brands that haven't been hugely popular for TCL in recent years.
Recently, we saw some specs for this smartphone, thanks to a leaked roadmap. So it looks like it'll be called the TCL T1, with a 6.53-inch FHD+ display, Snapdragon 675 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. All of this powered by a pretty hefty 3820mAh capacity battery inside.
TCL's latest foldable display concepts include Project Archery
Where things get really interesting is with Project Archery. This is supposedly a wearable display from TCL.
There's not a lot of information about this device yet, but the company says that the device can deliver a 100-inch viewing experience in a gadget the size of most sunglasses. So it's not really a smartwatch or fitness tracker like most of us thought it might be. But it does definitely have our attention.
TCL will be showing these off at IFA 2019 next week, when the show kicks off in Berlin on September 6. It's going to be interesting to see what else the company has to show.
IFA is typically where most smartphones and other gadgets are announced, ahead of the holiday shopping season. So expect to see new smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs and much more coming out of Berlin next week.

Will Your Last Wishes Be Followed?
Author: MatadorAdmin Posted on: May 12th, 2018 . Filed in: Uncategorized.
One of the main goals of setting up an estate plan is to ensure that your last wishes are carried out the way you want regarding how your assets and other property will be distributed when you die. There are several tools that an estate planning attorney can assist in setting up, including trusts and wills. During this process, there are many decisions that need to be made and one of the most important – and sometimes the most difficult – is who the beneficiaries will be.
One of the biggest mistakes people make in estate planning is to only name one heir or beneficiary, often making assumptions that do not always jive with the reality of what actually happens when they die. They may leave everything to their spouse without having a secondary plan of what should happen to the estate should the spouse pass away before they do.
There may also be the assumption that the spouse will make sure their children get their share of the estate. But what happens if the spouse should remarry? If there is nothing in place that awards the children the share of the estate that the decedent would have wanted, the new spouse may eventually inherit the assets because the estate plan was not set up to avoid this.
Your estate planning attorney can assist you in creating what is legally referred to as secondary contingencies in the event there have been major changes since you drafted your plans. Establishing living or other types of trust can also help avoid these issues.
Another mistake people make is naming one child as the sole heir or beneficiary, verbally instructing them to distribute the estate among the family and assuming they will do the right thing and divide the estate with their siblings. Sadly, money can cause people to make the wrong choices and that fair distribution may not happen. And legally, no matter what you may have articulated, if your specific wishes are not legally written in a will or some other estate planning instrument, then the person you name a sole beneficiary has the legal right to keep it all, leaving the others will little to no grounds to contest.
Instead of providing for your family when you are gone, the result can turn into a huge family battle, leaving irrepairable damage and a fractured family.
Your estate planning attorney will work with you to ensure that the final "product" is a legally sound estate plan. He or she will draft a will that satisfies all the legal requirements of the state you live in and made as contest-proof as legally possible. Your attorney can also set up different revocable trusts to ensure that your assets are divided just as you want them to be. It is also a good idea to meet with your attorney to evaluate your last will and testament in Arizona and estate plan every few years to make sure that any life events or family changes are addressed.
Thank you to our contributing Arizona Estate Planning Attorneys for their insight into wills and estate planning.

Using Websites | iMoogi Enterprises, LLC.
GET A WEBSITE … If you don't already have one, create a website with an address exactly matching or as close to your business' name as possible. Most potential customers look for a website to learn more, BEFORE they call, even before they do a web-search or look you up in the yellow pages.
It can be rather inexpensive to get started with an informational web site that you, or a qualified web developer, can tweak and grow as your business demands. The best thing to do is create an informational web site, that sets a precedence for your corporate identity and can be easily tweaked as you learn more about what your customers want to see from you on your website.
If you can find a developer who can offer "website templates" to get you started at a lower cost, this would be ideal. You shorten the development time and reduce the amount of money you have to spend because most of the design work is already done for you.
As you and your customers use your new website, you will learn from those experiences where the strengths and weaknesses are and can easily make revisions to suit. In time, you may want to have your site's aesthetics redesigned to be more customized, or you might discover the need to add some sort of database driven application such as eCommerce or customer login areas to your website.
The important thing here is you didn't spend a large sum of money on your website until it was making money for you … now the expense is justifiable … AND your prospects and customers got a chance to drive the direction of your online offerings, which is most important because they are usually the target audience.
To get started, call a local web developer to find out more – make sure they'll provide ongoing support at a reasonable rate, that they have the skills in-house to work on your site whether it is Informational, eCommerce, Database driven or even Integrated online/offline software.
Many businesses find it HIGHLY useful when their website developer is also capable of providing graphic design services for offline materials. This helps keep a businesses identity coordinated and cuts down on time, expense and possible confusion by limiting the number of "hands" in the project. If, in addition to these services, your developer is also qualified to help you market your business as a whole, not just your website, you will be much better off.
By considering the other ways your web developer can help you, when choosing your new web development firm, then, when you're ready for a project other than your website, your developer will know you, your business and your corporate identity – very well. This can save A LOT of time and money in the long run.
Find out who's visiting your website: Add as many opportunities as you can, for a website visitor to communicate with you. Always request an email address and find ways to use it (with permission).
Always request an email address and permission to send the occasional follow-up message. This will greatly reduce your marketing expense, help you to learn more about who's visiting AND, if you use an automated email follow-up system, help you to keep in touch with them on a routine basis. Ask your webmaster for more info.
This information can help you modify your web site as you learn about its use by your visitors. If they're always leaving when they get to the page that tells them about price … for example, perhaps there's a problem with either how you worded the page, or your pricing.
This is so very important that we include FREE server-side web traffic reporting for all sites we host on our web servers.

The Prophet's Character ﷺ
This is a short piece translated from Ibn Qudamah's Mukhtasar Minhaj al-Qasidin. It distills a picture the Quran and hadiths build up of the Prophet's virtues and character, peace be upon him: integrity, honesty, steadfastness, courage, kindness, compassion, courtesy, and other qualities too numerous to list. To say the Prophet's is a life well documented is an understatement. There is hardly an aspect of his life which did not come under the scrutiny of his close companions, who left for posterity all that they saw him do or hear him say. The reason: to know what the Prophet, peace be upon him, did is to know what we all should do. The Qur'an describes him as a beautiful example [33:21], and so the Prophet's sunnah, Qur'an aside, is the very notion of Islam itself – emulation of which becomes the life work of a believer in his or her journey to God and the Afterlife.
'God's Messenger, peace be upon him, was the mildest of people and also the warmest and most generous of them. He would mend his own sandals, patch his own clothes and help his family with the daily errands. He was very shy; shyer than a virgin in her chamber.
He would respond to the invitation of slaves, visit the sick, walk alone [without guards or fanfair], allow others to saddle-up with him on his mount, accept gifts, eat food that was sent as a gift; though he never consumed anything that had been given as charity. He did not have enough dates with which to be sated, nor was he sated with barley-bread for more than three consecutive days. He would eat whatever food was readily available and he never criticised food. He never ate reclining, and ate from what was nearest to him.
He loved perfumes and disliked foul odours. He honoured people of virtue, and kept affectionate ties with nobles and dignitaries. He never snubbed anyone and would accept the excuse of those who presented excuses.
He would joke, but never would he utter anything untrue. He laughed, but not loudly. He would not let any time pass without being in the service of God, exalted is He, or being engaged in whatever was essential for his own self-development.
He never cursed women, nor abused servants. Nor did he strike anyone, except for in jihad in God's cause. He did not exact revenge for his own sake, but did so when God's limits had been transgressed. If he was presented with two options he took the easier of the two, unless it entailed disobedience or the severing of ties – in which case he would be the furthest away from it.
Anas remarked: "I served him for ten years and he never once rebuked me in the least; nor did he say about anything I had done, 'Why did you do it?' or anything I had not done, 'Why did you not do it?'"
His description in the Torah is: "Muhammad, the Messenger of God and My Chosen Servant. He is neither harsh nor severe. He does not shout in the market places, nor repay evil with evil, but instead he pardons and forgives" …
He would sit in an assembly wherever it was convenient and would mingle among his Companions as one of them, such that when strangers came they couldn't distinguish him from others, save after inquiring as to who he was. He would take to long periods of silence, but when he did speak he did so measuredly and clearly, repeating himself so that he would be understood. He used to pardon, even when he was in a position to punish, and he would not confront anyone with what they did not like.
He was the most truthful of men; one who most fulfilled his trusts, pledges and commitments; the easiest going of people; the most affable; and the most generous in friendship. Whoever gazed on him unexpectedly, was awe-stricken by him; whoever knew him, loved him. His Companions, whenever they spoke about worldly affairs, he would join in with them; and when, in recollecting their pre-Islamic days, they would laughed, he would simply smile. He was also the bravest of men. One of his Companions recounts: When the fighting grew intense, we would seek shelter behind God's Messenger, peace be upon him.'1

When launching a campaign, relevancy and the continuity of an offer are very important factors in order to increase conversion rate. To demonstrate it, lets have a look at this email campaign from chefscatalog.com.
1. subject line: Win a top rated product from CHEFS catalog!
So what's the problem here. Subject line and the email talks about winning the top rated product. There is not a single word about writing a review in order to win! And suddenly the landing page is asking me to write a review in order to win.
Clearly the message between the offer (email) and landing page is broken. What does it mean? In this case high email click-through rates, but very likely low conversion rate (in this case number of reviews). Plus, this email campaign could create a mistrust of customers to all future offers from ChefsCatalog.
How would I approach this email campaign to make this offer relevant?
Below I've drafted the email and subject line relevant to the landing page.
1. My subject line – Write a review and win a top rated product from CHEFS catalog!
What I have done is simply telling people, that in order to win, they need to submit a review. Clearly, this email should be segmented and sent only to visitors who purchased a product from their site before, rather than send it to every person on their mailing list (as it happened in my case).
By making a little change I have created clear and transparent offer. It's possible, that this approach will have lower click-through than the original email, but due to its transparency and consistency very likely higher conversion rate (more reviews), which I believe was a primary purpose of this campaign. Obviously, to get the best results you would like to conduct email and landing page optimization (A/B test) with different calls to action, messaging etc. to find your winning combination.

Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is an inherited form of hemiplegic migraine. Hemiplegic migraine is a type of migraine with aura that causes motor impairment (such as weakness) in addition to at least one visual, sensory, or speech disturbance (aura) that occurs before the migraine headache begins. FHM commonly begins during childhood or adolescence. The symptoms of FHM can be scary and distressing.
FHM type 1 (the most common type) is caused by mutations in the CACNA1A gene and is commonly associated with cerebellar degeneration.
FHM type 2 is caused by mutations in the ATP1A2 gene and may be associated with seizures.
FHM type 3 is caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene.
FHM type 4 is diagnosed if no mutation currently known to cause FHM can be identified.
Inheritance of FHM is autosomal dominant, but not everyone who inherits a mutation responsible for FHM will have symptoms (a phenomenon called reduced penetrance). The diagnosis of FHM requires that at least one first- or second-degree relative has also been diagnosed with hemiplegic migraine. Tests such as a CT scan or MRI of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and EEG may be needed to rule out other potential causes of headache and neurological symptoms. Genetic testing may confirm the subtype of FHM in a family. Treatment of hemiplegic migraine involves medications to alleviate pain, stop the migraines, and prevent future migraines. Severe headache attacks may require hospitalization. In most people with hemiplegic migraines, aura symptoms completely go away in between migraines and the migraines become less frequent with age. Rarely, hemiplegic migraines may cause permanent neurological symptoms, cognitive impairment, stroke, coma, or death.
Motor weakness involves areas affected by sensory symptoms and varies from mild clumsiness to complete deficit. Affected people may also experience neurologic symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness, impaired consciousness, coma, psychosis, and/or memory loss. Neurologic symptoms can last for hours to days. Attention and memory loss can last weeks to months. However, permanent motor, sensory, language, or visual symptoms are extremely rare.
Treatment of hemiplegic migraine varies depending on severity and which symptoms are most problematic for the patient. In general, treatments aim to manage symptoms. Drugs that are effective in the prevention of common migraines may be used in hemiplegic migraine. Prophylactic management is applied to patients with frequent, long lasting, or severe attacks. Examples of migraine drugs that have been tried with variable success in people with hemiplegic migraine, include oral verapamil, acetazolamide, lamotrigine.
There are a few articles describing the use of nasal administration of ketamine, intravenous verapamil, and triptans for treatment of aura in people with hemiplegic migraine. Use of triptans in hemiplegic migraine is controversial and may be contraindicated in people with severe attacks.
For further information on these and other treatments, we recommend that you speak with your healthcare provider.

Krem Lymput is located in the north eastern state of Meghalaya. The cave is in Khasi hill 6 km away from the village of Nongiri. Meghalaya is known for its rains and caves. Meghalaya is known as the wettest place on earth and with 1300 caves scattered around the state it is a land of caves too. Mawsynram is located in the Khasi hills of Meghalaya which is known as the area receiving the heaviest rainfall in the world. Formerly Cherrapunchi was known for the heavy rainfall. But in recent times Mawsynram snatched the title away.
Meghalaya has certain geographical features which forms the cave around the state. Meghalaya has rich limestone deposits. Combined with the heavy rains in the area the limestone deposits undergo changes. It is a chemical reaction as the limestone consists of calcium carbonate. This process goes on uninterrupted for millions of years and thus caves are formed. All the limestone caves in Meghalaya are the artwork of nature. Man has nothing to do in its making. Realizing its aesthetic value and potential man tries to preserve it as a salute to Mother Nature.
This is one of the massive limestone caves of Meghalaya. Getting into the cave is fairly easy. The entrance to the cave is small due to the massive boulders around the cave. The entrance of the cave is hidden from view too.
The main pathway to the cave is also small and the upper portion of the cave is inclined inwards making it more small and congested. It runs uninterrupted for about 1km. This main pathway is opens to a broader one. This broad pathway is known as "way to heaven" The way to heaven opens to big galleries. There are immense calcite formations here.
Krem Lymput is a big cave no doubt. It is 6641 m in length. The main passage way opens to several rooms. One of the rooms is called Mughal rooms. It is a massive one with 25meter width, 2meter height and 75 meter length. There is a window inside the cave which opens upward to the jungle.
Krem Lymput is one of the easiest caves to explore. It is not at all strenuous or worrying. The cave promises some fantastic views around it too.
Krem Lymput is situated near Cherrapunji. The nearest airport is at Shillong. Cherrapunji is 60km from Shillong which is the capital of Meghalaya. The domestic airport is known as Umroi airport. Shillong is well connected to all cities of India. Gopinath Bordoloi Airport in Guwahati is the nearest international airport to Cherrapunji.
Guwahati is the nearest railway station to Cherrapunji. Guwahati is 180 km away from Cherrapunji. Guwahati is well connected to all major cities of India.
The state owned buses ply from Shillong to Cherrapunji. They are easily available.
