To quote a Forbes 2020 report on data in the coming decade, "The constant increase in data processing speeds and bandwidth, the nonstop invention of new tools for creating, sharing, and consuming data, and the steady addition of new data creators and consumers around the world, ensure that data growth continues unabated. Data begets more data in a constant virtuous cycle." A modern data ecosystem includes a whole network of interconnected, independent, and continually evolving entities. It includes data that has to be integrated from disparate sources, different types of analysis and skills to generate insights. Active stakeholders to collaborate and act on insights generated and tools, applications and infrastructure to store, process, and disseminate data as required. Let's start with the data sources. Data is available in a variety of structured and unstructured datasets, residing in text, images, videos, click streams, user conversations, social media platforms, the Internet of things or IoT devices, real-time events that stream data, legacy databases, and data sourced from professional data providers and agencies. The sources have never before been so diverse and dynamic. When you're working with so many different sources of data, the first step is to pull a copy of the data from the original sources into a data repository. At this stage, you're only looking at acquiring the data you need working with data formats, sources, and interfaces through which this data can be pulled in. Reliability, security, and integrity of the data being acquired are some of the challenges you work through at this stage. Once the raw data is in a common place, it needs to get organized, cleaned up, and optimized for access by end users. The data will also need to conform to compliances and standards enforced in the organization. For example, conforming to guidelines that regulate the storage and use of personal data, such as health, biometrics or household data in the case of IoT devices. Adhering to master data tables within the organization to ensure standardization of master data across all applications and systems of an organization is another example. The key challenges at this stage could involve data management and working with data repositories that provide high availability, flexibility, accessibility, and security. Finally, we have our business stakeholders: applications, programmers, analysts, and data science use cases, all pulling this data from the enterprise data repository. The key challenges at this stage could include the interfaces, APIs, and applications that can get this data to the end users inline with their specific needs. For example, data analysts may need the raw data to work with. Business stakeholders may need reports and dashboards. Applications may need custom APIs to pull this data. It's important to note the influence of some of the new and emerging technologies that are shaping today's data ecosystem and its possibilities, for example: cloud computing, machine learning, and big data, to name a few. Thanks to cloud technologies, every enterprise today has access to limitless storage, high-performance computing, open source technologies, machine learning technologies, and the latest tools and libraries. Data scientists are creating predictive models by training machine learning algorithms on past data, also big data. Today, we're dealing with datasets that are so massive and so varied that traditional tools and analysis methods are no longer adequate, paving the way for new tools and techniques and also new knowledge and insights. We'll learn more about big data and its influence in shaping business decisions further along in this course.

5 hilarious 'never celebrate too early' moments in cricket
By Aakash Arya
Premature celebrations in cricket often make for hilarious moments in the game. However, as much as they are entertaining for the spectators, such moments can be harsh on players.
Celebrating early can have a significant impact on a game, as players have found out the wrong way.
On that note, let us take a look at the five hilarious 'Never celebrate too early' moments in cricket. Note: The list is in no particular order.
1. Ravichandran Ashwin versus Karnataka (2019 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy)
Ravichandran Ashwin celebrated too early after scoring boundaries off the first two balls.
In the 2019 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), Ravichandran Ashwin's celebration in the last over of the final turned to bitter disappointment as Karnataka eventually edged past Tamil Nadu by a solitary run.
However, the final between arch-rivals Tamil-Nadu and Karnataka is remembered for reasons other than Karnataka's epic win as well.
Tamil Nadu entered the final over, with 13 runs to win the championship. Ashwin started beautifully, hitting boundaries off the first two balls, and bringing down the required runs drastically. Ashwin celebrated the two boundaries with an emotional fist pump.
With five runs needed off four balls, Krishnappa Gowtham bowled a dot ball, following up with just a single. Vijay Shankar, on the other hand, looked in torrid touch, and looked for a double off the first ball he faced in the over. However, a marvellous throw from captain Manish Pandey from the deep forced a run-out off the penultimate delivery. With three runs needed off the last ball, Murugan Ashwin could only take a single, while Ravichandran Ashwin was left stranded without getting the strike in the last three balls of the innings.
2. Herschelle Gibbs versus Australia (1999 World Cup)
Steve Waugh scored an unbeaten 120 off 110 balls in a crucial Super Six encounter.
In the Super Six stage of the 1999 World Cup in Birmingham, South Africa endured one of the most difficult moments in their cricketing history.
Centurion in the South African innings, Herschelle Gibbs, dropped captain Steve Waugh's simple chance while the latter was batting on 56. In the first innings, Gibbs had scored a remarkable 101 not out in 134 balls to put the Proteas on course for a big win. However, Gibbs scripted his own undoing by dropping a sitter while trying to hurl the ball skywards in excitement.
Although the catch was taken, it wasn't deemed to be under full control and therefore Waugh remained not-out. Waugh went on to score an unbeaten 120 off 110 balls, and a few days later, Australia clinched the World Cup by beating Pakistan in the final.
5. Asela Gunaratne vs South Africa (2017 Cape Town)
Asela Gunaratne miscalculated, and started celebrating Sri Lanka's win, with one run still required.
Sri Lanka's Asela Gunaratne took off the stumps in celebration of a famous series win against South Africa in Cape Town. However, as things turned out, his celebration came in a ball too early.
Requiring 11 runs off the last over, the batsman scored a boundary off the first ball followed by two singles. Sri Lanka needed five to win off three deliveries when Gunaratne edged a ball towards the third-man boundary. As the umpire signalled a boundary, the batsman took off one-stump thinking that the series was already won. However, his partner Seekkuge Prasanna made him realise soon that one run was still needed off two balls to secure a win.
Gunaratne did score the winning runs off the very next ball, but the match remains well-remembered for his hilarious premature series-victory celebration.

Q: Run windows service on a specific time Can a windows service be set to run at a specific time..?
Example
From 8:00 am to 5:00pm run process
From 5:00 pm to 8:00am run process

This process can run daily, weekly or a single day..
Please let me know, your thoughts

A: Typically, if this is your requirement, you would be better served by writing a simple console application, and then using the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule it as needed.
This will provide the same benefits as a service, but allow you a lot more control over scheduling after deployment.

A: There are a couple of ways to go about this.  The easiest from a coding perspective is to write a console application and then run it using the task scheduler.
A windows service is always running, so you would want your service to sleep for some amount of time, wake up check if the current time is in the window, and if it is then execute.
Both approaches have their pros and cons, and it's really more about what the service does.  One question I don't know the answer to is whether scheduled tasks run if the user that scheduled the task isn't logged in.  This would be my biggest concern regarding the task scheduler approach.

A: I faced a similar situation where I had to develop a service which would do something only during trading time which is from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm everyday in that specific case. It would remain idle the rest of the day. I am sharing what I did in my case. I am not sure whether it would be helpful for you but I hope that it will be.
Two variables maintaining the starting time and ending time
TimeSpan StartingTime = new TimeSpan(
                             Int32.Parse(
                               ConfigurationManager
                                  .AppSettings["StartingTimeHour"]),
                             Int32.Parse(
                               ConfigurationManager
                                   .AppSettings["StartingTimeMinute"]), 0);
TimeSpan EndingTime = new TimeSpan(
                             Int32.Parse(
                               ConfigurationManager
                                   .AppSettings["EndingTimeHour"]),
                             Int32.Parse(
                               ConfigurationManager
                                   .AppSettings["EndingTimeMinute"]), 0);
//Starting time and Ending time may change in future. So I used app.config
//instead of fixing them to (11,0,0) and (15,0,0) respectively

A method to check whether it is trading time
public bool TradingTime()
{
    TimeSpan CurrentTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;
    return ((CurrentTime > StartingTime) && (CurrentTime < EndingTime));
}

Then where it is necessary to check the time and execute something depending on that:
while (TradingTime())
{
    //do whatever required
}

A: What you can do is to use the Windows Task Scheduler and create a task to start the services, and another task to stop the services. All you need to do is create a batch file to start and stop the services.
Example Start Service:
net start MyService

Example Stop Service
net stop MyService

The services shortly after opening.
Services opened 1996
Re-branded Moto 2001
The service area opened in 1996, earlier than its southbound partner, which is the key to why they are so different.
This is possibly the only service area to double-up a dog walking field with an overflow car park, changing between the two as necessary.
The tall, light building overlooking the lake was designed deliberately.
See also: M6 Planning Applications
The first planning application was made by the Agricultural & Food Research Council in 1993, and the proposal was known as Cold Norton. Mobil bought the site from them for £10m, and then worked with Granada as a joint investment. Granada soon purchased the land that the whole site is built on.
At the same time Granada put in an application to build a southbound service area directly opposite, but they were beaten to it.
Both the northbound service area and the planned southbound side were deliberately set back from the road by 67 metres to allow for the M6 to be fully widened, as had been announced in 1989. The first plans (dated 1993) didn't account for this and were rejected as a result. Space was also left for the B5026 to be re-aligned. When the widening eventually happened in 2019, it was done on a much smaller scale, so the widening strip remains empty.
When it opened, the service area trialled a new brand identity which was quickly adopted nationwide by Granada. As part of the changes, the service area was one of the first to use polished wood instead of dirty carpets; it had stands with local information; it boasted more spacious toilets and, for a brief period, staff were positioned to welcome customers and hand them ashtrays if necessary. The new ideology followed extensive research by Granada to establish what customers wanted; the design work was by Pentagram.
The official opening date was recorded as 1 April 1996, but Granada say it actually opened on 30 March. It's likely that a dry run was held.
One of the early drawings had a square amenity building in the centre of the complex, with the lake being within the motorway loops.
When it opened, there was a Retail Store on the immediate right. This became WHSmith, and was then moved back by taking away the public telephones. This plus an extension made space for M&S Simply Food.
On the left, an office became Birthdays and then Fone Bitz. It was then closed to create a new, open-plan Burger King seating area, which in turn created space for Greggs to be built at the front of the building.
At the back, by the corridor to the toilets, space was designated for a waitress-service restaurant. This opened as Rock Island Diner, then became Little Chef, before becoming an open-plan Caffè Ritazza, later Costa.
The coffee bar was originally supposed to be at the side, but opened at the centre.
The forecourt was operated by Mobil until their merger with Esso. The forecourt shop used to feature a Burger King with drive-thru lane alongside the shop, but this was later removed due to a lack of custom. A sign opposite the forecourt exit now advises customers that it is a 'short drive back to the main building' to use the main Burger King restaurant following the closure.
Moto later sold the forecourt to BP, who wasted no time in adding an M&S Simply Food and Wild Bean Café. In summer 2016, BP removed the M&S Simply Food offering, rebranding the store to one of their BP Connect sites.
During early 2018, the EDC restaurant was refurbished and reduced in size to make way for a Chow Asian Kitchen unit. As part of this refurbishment, EDC gained a refreshed look as well as a branding update. This unit then closed in autumn 2019 along with the remaining EDC units across the country.
A Millie's Cookies cabinet was here for a time next to the Krispy Kreme cabinet outside WHSmith, but this has since been removed.
The site underwent major refurbishment works during early 2022, with a new food court arranged at the back of the building. The new food court includes a refurbished Costa Coffee store, which opened in March 2022, along with a new Chozen Noodle unit replacing the former Chow unit and a new KFC restaurant, which both opened in early June 2022. A new Pret A Manger store then followed in late June 2022.
The toilets and showers were also upgraded, a new Changing Places facility was added, and Moto's updated branding was applied. It is expected to become an electric vehicle charging hub with 12 new Tesla Superchargers along with six new GRIDSERVE chargers.
bp pulse electric vehicle charging points were installed here in 2020, but weren't switched on until August 2022 due to power supply issues.

East Lothian Trading Standards have had reports of cold calling from people claiming to be from the "Crime Prevention Team", pressure selling magazine adverts for the Community First Initiative. Callum Smith from Callum Joinery, one of our Trusted Traders, had the full sales experience, but was canny enough not to be taken in.
Unfortunately these pressure selling techniques can catch out very busy or inexperienced business owners. You will be told that an advert in the publication will help benefit the Police / Fire Service / Charity / School / Crime Awareness etc. The tactic is to get you to unwittingly agree to an advert, which may be recorded, then you will be bound to a contract and chased for payment which can be hundreds of pounds.
A common scam tactic some companies employ is to tell you another employee has already agreed to the advert and they are chasing up payment of the invoice. You will be steered into asking them to resend the invoice which will be seen as you authorising the order.
To keep within the law, your advert will go out in a magazine publication, but it's circulation and distribution are likely to be disappointing versus the cost. Different variations may ask you to take part in a charity wall planner, drugs awareness campaign or help promote children's books.
Luckily there is a really simple way to protect yourself.
If the call is of the slightest interest, take some details, agree to nothing, be polite and tell the caller you will get back to them. Then go and do some Google research or ask someone for advice.
If the caller attempts to engage you in pressure selling, put the phone down and you have just had a lucky escape.
Magazine advertising remains a very popular and effective way to get your message out. But reputable publications will not pressure sell you or mislead you. Always do your research and take your time. Any amazing offer will still be there tomorrow, regardless of what the sales staff might tell you. If you are being pressured, then walk away.
DO make sure all your staff understand this advice on dealing with cold callers and to be fully aware of unsolicited invoices.
Remember - never, ever, agree to anything from a cold call.
If you think you have been scammed, contact the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 04 05 06.

Description An exciting collaboration between Billy Sheehan and Yamaha's North Hollywood workshop, this is a bass loaded with innovative features and a huge sound. Billy Sheehan's trademark giant sound owes much to his DiMarzio pickups, and the Attitude Limited II's Will Powers deliver the goods big-time. The neck woofer - with a high-cut facility - is known for its ultra-deep character and superb definition; the middle pickup is a split-coil P-style packed with tremendous punch and midrange power. To extend performance and recording versatility, the pickups are wired to separate outputs, allowing the choice between combining the two sounds or amplifying them separately. The Attitude II also features a neat Hipshot tuner, enabling the E string to be dropped accurately down to D at the flick of a lever.

Global Technology Companies' Localisation Strategies
Netflix is a global phenomenon. Available in 190 countries, the streaming giant is wildly popular – but how has it become synonymous for online streaming from Plovdiv to Puducherry?
In this article, using the experiences of the world's most successful technology companies, including Netflix and Slack, we'll present the shared localisation strategies that have made them so successful, and explain our approach to technology translation services.
According to Statista, Netflix reached 195.15 million users worldwide by Q3 2020. At the same point in 2011, the streaming giant had just 21.5 million subscribers, so in the decade since, it has gained over 170 million additional subscribers.
This makes Netflix the largest streaming platform for film and TV content around the world today. But, what does Netflix owe its global success to? How has it been able to flourish in so many diverse marketplaces and cultures in far-flung corners of the globe?
One reason is their dedicated approach to subtitling, and their fidelity to different languages' phrases, idioms and colloquialisms, which we've previously explored in depth.
Netflix localisation strategy
Did you know that nine out of ten viewers of the Netflix-commissioned German-language production Dark were based outside of Germany?
Another example of the reach of Netflix is a report form Quartz India, which shows the top shows in the country, include Stranger Things and Narcos.
But, hold on you say, doesn't this contradict the importance of localisation to gain a foothold in a new market? Well no – the reason viewers from such diffused countries can enjoy shows born from languages which they have no understanding of, is due to Netflix's subtitling excellence.
But, they've gone further than this. The world's favourite streaming service uses a smart user interface within its app which is adaptable to the quirks of different languages around the world.
What Netflix has done is localise their app navigation bar using a technique called Pseudo Localisation, which allows for the variation in text length of 25 different languages and alphabets.
This technology understands that the average length of sentences and expressions varies vastly between languages, and leaves room for one or two additional words after the English text.
All of these localisation efforts show Netflix's appreciation for the nuances of different languages. This has boosted the user experience of their service and allowed them to roll out the same localisation principles across different territories to become the global powerhouse of film and TV streaming.
This exhibits not only the need for translation in terms of marketing content or product (including show content), but also the impact of translation on user experience and post-sale, customer happiness!
As of 2018, more than half of Netflix's users were from outside of the US, the service's source market.
Slack, the business communication platform has gained popularity in markets with several diverse working cultures including the UK, Japan and Germany. Slack started life in humble beginnings when it was created by Tiny Speck during their development of an online game, Glitch.
Launched in the US in 2013, Slack is now available in eight languages, and more than half of its daily active users are located outside of the US, in over 150 countries.
The main user groups of Slack outside the US are the UK, France, Germany, Japan and India.
So, how did Slack localise its platform and service offering to such a variety of languages and work cultures?
Of course, the UK and India mostly use English as the primary business language. However, France, Germany and Japan tend to favour their own languages for use in business settings.
Here's an example of Slack's approach to localisation. Slack is known for its wit – for instance, Slack often offers flattering, yet playful compliments to its users, such as in English, "You look nice today. – your friends at Slack". In French this is localised to a less playful "Nous sommes là pour vous aider. – L' équipe Slack", which translates as "We're here to help you – the Slack Team."
This goes to show the importance of attention to detail in your localisation strategy. Even such seemingly insignificant elements such as microcopy, when added up, make a big difference to your website's or software platform's user experience.
Here's how Slack's Localisation Manager puts it in their blog: "Localization builds trust with our customers in a language that they understand, with cultural references that are familiar to them."
Simply by having a dedicated position for localisation demonstrates the commitment the communications company has to offer a tailored user experience for each new market it moves into. It's all about building trust and making users feel comfortable with a product that wasn't initially designed for their specific needs.
Rather than crossing their fingers and hoping that their US-designed service would suit users around the world, Slack realised the importance of localisation in expanding their reach overseas.
Our approach to all client's projects is similar to the tech behemoth.
Firstly, we ensure that we allocate a sector expert as your dedicated translator. With our diverse experience, we can always select a member of the team with very specific and unique qualifications for the task.
Then, to guarantee that they'll understand the nuances of the culture, language or dialect they're writing for, we ensure your translator is native to the market your project is based in.
Our approach is even trusted by technology giants, including Intel, IBM and Microsoft. Explore our technology translation services to find out more.
In a Globalised World, Localisation is More Important than Ever
Localisation is the tool your organisation needs to connect with a global audience.
When the country doesn't necessarily equal the language and selling your products or services via a website makes expanding overseas easily achievable, localisation can help your message resonate to new audiences.
Our specialist translation services cover a wide range of market sectors, so if your focus is manufacturing, or market research, rather than technology, we can help.

CD PROJEKT RED Brings NVIDIA GeForce RTX Ray Tracing To Cyberpunk 2077
Seeing Keanu Reeves make an appearance at E3 to promote Cyberpunk 2077, an upcoming dystopian role playing game in which he is a part of, was a delightful surprise. Less surprising, but no less welcome, is that developer CD PROJEKT RED is working with NVIDIA to support real-time ray tracing on GeForce RTX hardware (and perhaps other cards as well—more on that in a moment).
"Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly ambitious game, mixing first-person perspective and deep role-playing, while also creating an intricate and immersive world in which to tell its story," said Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. "We think the world of Cyberpunk will greatly benefit from the realistic lighting that ray tracing delivers."
Neither NVIDIA nor developer CD PROJEKT RED have said that a GeForce RTX series graphics card will be required for real-time ray tracing, though it's probably a safe assumption that it will be too demanding for GeForce GTX cards, even though Turing and Pascal both technically support the feature by way of Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API.
NVIDIA did strongly hint that a GeForce RTX card will be needed, though, saying that "NVIDIA GeForce RTX is an official technology partner for Cyberpunk 2077."
Requirements aside, CD PROJEKT RED says the inclusion of real-time ray tracing will "add another layer of depth and vertically" to the game. Users who are able to enable the feature can expect to see lighting portrayed in a realistic way in a crowded urban environment, such as beaming reflections in puddles and having neon lights bounce off of murky roads and sidewalks.
The number of games that support real-time ray tracing, both those that have already shipped and those that will be shipping, is slowly growing. It is the stand out feature of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX series graphics cards—they include dedicated RT cores to assist the GPU with ray-traced workloads, in games that support the feature.
As time goes on, real-time ray tracing will find its way into a lot more titles. We are really just at the beginning of a shift from completely rasterized games, to ones that incorporate a mix of rasterized and ray-traced rendering. It will be interesting to see what kind of kick in pants next-gen consoles give developers, as it applies to ray tracing—Sony has already confirmed that the PlayStation 5 will support the feature, and it's likely Microsoft's Scarlett Xbox will as well.
Cyberpunk 2077 is due to release on April 16, 2020.

Appreciating the commitment you put into your website and detailed information you provide. It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same old rehashed information. Great read! I've bookmarked your site and I'm including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
You are correct there is so much content and similar articles. We have not had any issues with plagorism or copyright infringement. We draft and edit all of our blogs. Don't have any suggestions or methods to stop content from being ripped off…It would be too cumbersome to patent every phrase or story…..I know there is some of content floating around the web…Don't have any answer for you at this time!
We are delighted you enjoyed the content and information displayed on our site…..We believe that so much information is left on white paper and never make it to the people that could really use the information. Especially, with all the changes in lending e.g., FICO scores, loan programs, etc. Also, the changes coming from Freddie and Fannie Mae…..Combe back soon!


The legends of bears and ravens often showcase First Nations history to the public. This time, Quelemia Sparrow of the Musqueam Nation and Michelle Olson of the Tr'ondek Hwech'in Nation decided to tell the story of salmon.
Produced by Raven Spirit Dance and created by Sparrow and Olson, Salmon Girl (which mixes theatre, dance, music and puppetry) will be performed at Presentation House Jan. 26–29 and Feb. 3– 5.
"Growing up, I heard stories about the salmon – all about transforming salmon and different tales. I thought we really need to share these stories," says Sparrow, Salmon Girl's playwright.
She says that the stories and tales that have been passed down through generations of indigenous nations taught certain elements of behaviour and lessons regarding how to act and survive in this world.
"This piece helps us understand our place in the environment – how to give back to the earth and not just take. There isn't a finite end to anything. It continues," Sparrow explains.
Sparrow used garbage pollution and recycling as an example to show this. Recycled plastic bottles are turned into another product and garbage that is thrown away ends up in the ocean.
"We have this idea that if it's away from us, if we can't see it anymore, it has disappeared and that it's gone," she says.
Sparrow thinks of it as a valuable lesson that is being taught to the masses now. She acknowledges that straying from these habits is not a small feat. Realizing that every item being thrown away still exists, whether it can still be seen or not, is a huge lesson. According to Sparrow, we, as a race, have to learn to take care of the environment, make sure that we are not polluting the space we live in and the food we eat, as well.
By working with choreographer Michelle Olsen from Raven Spirit Dance, both theatre and dance as well as music and puppetry are used to present the play. "A lot of indigenous performers work in many different mediums. It's not out of the ordinary for us to mix different disciplines together to tell the story," Sparrow explains. A colourful dynamic is brought to the play when one character plays multiple parts through shadow puppetry. Through the incorporation of movement and shadow puppetry, Salmon Girl shows there is more than one way to tell a story.
"I think the inspiration has been there the whole time for both Michelle and myself. I feel a pull to retell these stories and to share these teachings," says Sparrow. There is a true importance in telling them; it is a re-emergence and sharing of the culture. "It is also a strong desire to share my culture with Vancouver. I think it is very important that Vancouverites know these stories and the histories of the First Nations peoples," she says.
At the end of every show, Sparrow hopes that Salmon Girl makes the audience feel joy and a sense of our place in the world and what that means. "I want them to feel our connection to the earth – that we are all connected and are not living in a bubble. That what we do affects the person beside us and everyone in the world. It affects the environment," she added. The goal is to motivate the audience to be aware of this connection.

UK lab joins global network to compare coronavirus vaccine candidates
FILE PHOTO: A 3D-printed coronavirus model is seen in front of a British flag on display in this illustration taken March 25, 2020. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration
LONDON (Reuters) - A second British laboratory is joining a global lab network to assess data from potential coronavirus vaccines, set up by a major non-profit health emergencies group to establish the effectiveness of different vaccine candidates.
Earlier this month, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) set up the network, allowing scientists and drugmakers to compare vaccines and speed up selection of the most effective shots.
Britain's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said on Tuesday the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) was joining the scheme, and had received funding from CEPI to develop an international standard for the COVID-19 antibody.
That means the NIBSC will produce a sample of antibody with a defined amount of biological activity that can be used by regulators and vaccine makers to calibrate their tests.
"This is an important initiative providing a service to vaccine developers globally and permits accurate evaluation of candidate vaccines for this pandemic," Dr Mark Page, who is leading the work at NIBSC, said.
Public Health England is also involved in the CEPI scheme.
Hundreds of potential coronavirus vaccines are in various stages of development around the world, with shots developed in Russia and China already being deployed before full efficacy trials have been done, and front-runners from Pfizer PFE.N, Moderna MRNA.O and AstraZeneca AZN.L likely to have final-stage trial results before year-end.
CEPI itself is co-funding nine of the vaccines in development, including candidates from Moderna, AstraZeneca, Novavax NVAX.O and CureVac.

DMARC Food Pantry Network Serves Record Number of People in November
This November, the DMARC Food Pantry Network served more individuals and households in Greater Des Moines than any other month in its 41-year history. "We were expecting this November to be our highest month of usage," said DMARC executive director Rev. Sarai Schnucker Rice, "but we were not expecting to serve almost 3,000 more people than we did last November." In November, the DMARC Food Pantry Network served 21,079 individuals (8,518 households), an increase of 14% from November 2016. This is also the first month ever that the DMARC Food Pantry Network served over 19,000 individuals. "Many people in our community are still struggling ...


Once upon a time … there was a class of children called The Clever Kittens and they began exploring different traditional tales.
They tasted porridge with Goldilocks and the three Bears and joined in with the repeated phrases in the story e.g. "Who's been eating my porridge?" They began learning how stories were structured by sequencing pictures from the story and other stories such as The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
The children read the Three Little Pigs story and were encouraged to understand questions linked to the story e.g. Who built the strongest house? Why didn't the house of bricks blow down when the wolf huffed and puffed? The Clever Kittens also joined in with story, using the language "Once upon a time …." and "The end".
They created Little Red Riding pictures using 2d Shapes, learning their mathematical names and mathematical terms to describe them.
Parents/Carers also became involved helping the Clever Kittens to create 2d Shape pictures and constructing various 3d models of buildings inspired by their favourite traditional tale.
Finally, they celebrated the Chinese New Year of the pig by tasting Chinese food - trying hard to use chopsticks, dressed up in Chinese traditional costumes and also made Chinese fans and firework pictures. For the festivities finale the Sheffield Dance Company performed the Chinese Lion Dance. Gung Hey Fat Choi (Happy New Year).
It has been an amazing half term.
Our topic for Autumn 2 was Worldwide Tales and we invited Kuda from Zimbabwe to come and talk to us about her experiences in Africa. Kuda taught us a dance called 'Making Melodies', which involved us using some very unusual dance moves.
We read the books 'Walking through the Jungle' and 'Handa's Surprise' and drew our favourite wild animal from the stories. One of the Clever kitten's brought their pet corn snake into class and told us all about it.
We developed our outdoor area - the Writing Dome and the 'Twitchers' Hut', and placed a bird table nearby to look for different kinds of birds. It was an unexpected surprise when one visited our classroom and we could observe it closely.
The Clever Kittens have been getting into the festive spirit and have made the home corner into the Christmas home corner together with the traditional turkey, Yorkshire puddings, carrots and the must-have sprouts.
Our parents/carers have also joined in the celebrations by helping the Clever Kittens to practise their cutting skills to make a silver and gold collage for the Home Learning, which has been put on display.
The Clever Kittens went on an Autumn walk to Barker's Park. On our walk we were looking for brown, orange, red leaves, squirrels, hedgehogs, conkers and acorns.
It also gave the opportunity for children to notice aspects of the outside environment, e.g. change in seasons and using their senses,noticing different sights, sounds and smells. We collected lots of materials to make an Autumn collage which we have displayed in the classroom. Look at the pictures to see what we found!
Welcome to Foundation Stage 1. The teacher is Mrs Bradwell and she is supported by Mrs Murray and Miss Cutler. The children have settled well into the routine of school life. During this half-term the children will be learning all about 'Marvellous Me'.

Ultimate Philippine loop? He toured the country for 120 days using a bicycle.
Melchizedek Garcia, also known as Kuya Merky, had this dream of traveling around the Philippines after graduating college. However, it became difficult for him to do it because he lacked the financial resources. Realistically speaking, willpower alone is not enough to achieve this incredible feat.
When he became ready last year, he started pedaling around the Philippines. He completed his trip in 120 days after roughly 10,200 kilometers.
"Nag-focus muna ako sa work and then noong nagka-trabaho na, napaisip ako na i-pursue 'yung pangarap ko," Kuya Merky told First Bike Ride. "Then ayun, napaisip ako na mag-bike since mahilig naman talaga ako mag-bike."
"I'm just fulfilling my dreams. I want to prove to myself that I am able to achieve my goals," he added.
He started in Metro Manila, worked his way up to northwest Luzon and then did a big U-turn that led him to Bicol region. He then went to Visayas and Mindanao. Finally, he worked his way back again to his starting point.
Obviously, this is not easy. Aside from being financially prepared, his tip is for you to invest time, research, courage and passion. He mentioned that the toughest area was from Sarangani to Don Marcelino in Davao Occidental but it was the mental stress that was more difficult– thinking about safety and what to do next, among others.
"Sometimes mapapaisip ka na kung bakit ko ba ginagawa ito? I guess negativity is the greatest challenge you have to endure and overcome so you can finish what you started," he said. "Achieving dreams and goals is not easy especially kung wala kang focus at hindi ka handa mag-sakripisyo ng mga bagay-bagay."
His best takeaway from this travel is that we need to take care of our nature and inspire others to do the same. He also experienced the goodness of strangers, that people you don't know can help and welcome you in their homes.
Every place in the Philippines has a unique characteristic but he fell in love with the beauty of Baguio, Sagada, Banaue, baler, Siargao and the east coast of Mindanao and Palawan.
Will he do this trip again?
"Most probably in the future but as of now, I want to try bike touring sa ibang bansa," he said.
Kuya Merky is currently overseas working as a seafarer. It's difficult to contact him because there's no signal in the middle of the ocean. If you have questions, just put it in the comment section and we'll let him see it.

Parsec is a cloud gaming service that lets you play local co-op over the internet
Cloud gaming finally realizes its potential.
Joe Rice-Jones
Image: Parsec
The start of multiplayer gaming was couch co-op. Everyone went over to the house of the neighborhood kid that had a Nintendo and spent hours on games like Mario Kart and Duck Hunt. Or if they had an x286 PC, it was games like Scorched Earth and Gauntlet, with several people using the same keyboard to control their characters.
Fast forward a decade and it was games like Halo and Call of Duty in split-screen on the Xbox 360. Nowadays, we don't live near our friends for the most part, so how do we get the couch co-op feeling back?
One way is an innovative cloud gaming service called Parsec Gaming. Cloud gaming has been around since the early 2000s with Gaikai and Onlive (acquired by Sony), but the experience was a let down due to the nature of our slower internet at the time. With the technological leaps to broadband, fiber, and the huge leaps in mobile phone technology, cloud gaming is viable again.
Parsec Gaming can stream 60fps+ gaming from either your home PC or a cloud-based PC set up on AWS, to another Windows PC or Mac. It can also be set up to work with an Android device, a Linux PC, or even to a Raspberry Pi.
Image: YouTube
The service lets you invite other people to connect to your PC so you can play co-op games that don't already have co-op over internet functionality. All those local-only co-op gems like Cuphead or retro games from the unconnected console eras now can be played with friends across the world.
The team's recently just added a Party Finder feature, as well, where you can match up and play co-op games cross-platform on almost anything with a screen and the Parsec client. Now, you can find random parties and new friends to play those games with. Best of all, only the host needs a copy of the game. If you enjoy the game, however, that definitely shouldn't stop you from purchasing it yourself.
At launch, Party Finder has communities for Wizard of Legend, Sausage Sports Club, and Overcooked. I've just had a look and that list is growing, with games like Super Clash Bros and Spelunky having communities, as well.
I love this, and I'll be reviewing the service in a week or so. Services like Steam In-Home Streaming work, but never quite felt "there" to me so it will be interesting to see how Parsec fares.
What do you think about the service? Is this something you plan on using? Let us know in the comments.

Other than occasional vagrants, among the seals only the Phocidae, or earless seals, are represented.
Similar body shapes are found in the earless seals and the eared seals : they still have four legs, but these are strongly modified for swimming.
This is the main method used by molluscs such as slugs and snails, and also large flatworms, some other worms, and even earless seals.
Together, they are known as the " eared seals " or " otariids ", and are distinguished from the " true seals " or " earless seals " in the family Phocidae.
:Family Phocidae ( true or earless seals ) consists of around 19 species of highly aquatic, barrel-shaped animals ranging from and in length ( the ringed seal ), to and ( southern elephant seal ).
The "'Caspian seal "'( " Pusa caspica " ) is one of the smallest members of the earless seal family and unique in that it is found exclusively in the brackish Caspian Sea.
As opposed to " Hesperornis " which almost certainly had to slide on its belly or galumph like an earless seal, " Baptornis "'s lower leg was not as firmly placed along the body sides.
The earless seals ( Phocidae ) swim by moving their hind-flippers and lower body from side to side, while their fore-flippers are mainly used for steering . when confronted with predators, they retreat to the water as freshwater phocids have no aquatic predators.
"' Pinnipeds "'are flippered marine mammals belonging to three related families in the order Carnivora, the Phocidae ( earless seals or true seals ), the Otariidae ( eared seals, including sea lions and fur seals ), and Odobenidae ( walrus ).
On August 25, 1818, the Argentine government, then called the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, granted the first concessions for hunting earless seals and penguins territories for the Antarctic continent to Juan Pedro de Aguirre, who operated the ship " Esp韗itu Santo " based on Deception Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands.
"' Monk seals "'are earless seals of the genera of monk seals, " Monachus " and " Neomonachus ", comprising three species : the Mediterranean monk seal, " Monachus monachus "; the Hawaiian monk seal, " Neomonachus schauinslandi "; and the Caribbean monk seal, " Neomonachus tropicalis ", which became extinct in the 20th century.
The chemicals are speculated to concentrate up the food chain and weaken the Baikal seal's immune system, making them susceptible to diseases such as canine distemper and the plague, which was the cause of a serious Baikal seal epidemic that resulted in the deaths of thousands of animals in 1997 and 1999 . Baikal seal pups have higher levels of DDT and PCB than known in any other population of European or Arctic earless seal.
The superfamily Canoidea ( or suborder Caniformia )  Canidae ( wolves, dogs and foxes ), Mephitidae ( skunks and stink badgers ), Mustelidae ( weasels, badgers, and otters ), Procyonidae ( raccoons ), Ursidae ( bears ), Ailuridae ( red panda ), Otariidae ( eared seals ), Odobenidae ( walrus ), and Phocidae ( earless seals ) ( the last three families formerly classified in the superfamily Pinnipedia ) and the extinct family Amphicyonidae ( bear-dogs )  are characterized by having nonchambered or partially chambered auditory bullae, nonretractable claws, and a well-developed baculum.
How can I put and write and define earless seal in a sentence and how is the word earless seal used in a sentence and examples? 用earless seal造句, 用earless seal造句, 用earless seal造句, earless seal meaning, definition, pronunciation, synonyms and example sentences are provided by ichacha.net.

Thors brudefærd er en af de gamle fortællinger om de nordiske guder med tordenguden Thor som hovedperson.

Fortællingen
En morgen vågnede Thor og opdagede, at hans hammer, Mjølner, var væk. Thor gik til Loke og fortalte hvad der var sket. Loke lovede at hjælpe Thor.
Loke lånte Frejas fugledragt og fløj til Udgård, hvor jætterne bor. Han regnede med, at det var en af dem, der havde taget den. Først gik han til jætten Trym. Loke spurgte ham om hammeren, og Trymer sagde:
"Ja, den har jeg taget. Den ligger otte mil under jorden, og I får den ikke, før jeg får Freja til kone."

Thor i brudekjole
Med den besked rejste Loke tilbage til Asgård. Thor og Loke gik til Freja og bad hende trække i brudetøjet. Da blev Freja meget sur, så sur at hele Asgård rystede. Guderne samledes nu til råd. Ingen havde noget forslag, før Heimdal rejste sig og sagde, at nu blev Thor nødt til at klæde sig ud som brud og tage til Udgård. Thor var imod planen, men Loke fik ham til at forstå, at det var den eneste mulighed.

Thor blev klædt i brudedragt og smykker blev hængt om hans bryst. Loke klædte sig ud som pige og tog med.

Brylluppet
Trym hørte dem langt borte og kaldte alle jætterne til bryllup. Før brylluppet skulle stå, skulle der først spises. Thor spiste en hel okse, otte fisk og al den kage, som kvinderne skulle have haft. Trym var meget forbavset over brudens appetit, men Loke fortalte at bruden ikke havde spist i otte dage, fordi hun sådan længtes efter at blive gift. Trym blev glad og bøjede sig frem og løftede sløret for at kysse det han troede var Freja. Thor sendte ham et vredt blik og Trym for tilbage. Loke var snedig og sagde:
"Freja har ikke sovet i otte nætter, sådan længtes hun efter at komme herhen."

Trym kaldte på sine karle, og de blev bedt om at hente hammeren. Det skulle være en bryllupsgave til Freja, og blev derfor lagt i Thors skød. Thor rejste sig op og rev sløret af, hvorefter han dræbte Trym og hele hans familie.

Derefter kørte Thor og Loke tilbage til Asgård.

Folkevise
Fra både Danmark, Norge og Sverige kendes folkevisen, der er en gendigtning af Edda-kvadene om Thors brudefærd under navnet "Torekall".

I populærkulturen
Historien er gengivet i tegneseriealbummet Thors brudefærd fra 1980 i serien Valhalla.

Searching for a recipe for easy kale chips? This is it! Plus, learn the secret to retaining the nutrition in your baked kale chips.
I have a slight big weakness for chips. Potato chips. And ya, I know, potato chips are not the healthiest snack out there, but I can't help it, I can never eat just one.
I've been trying to cut back on my chip intake and one thing I like to have as a substitute are these easy kale chips.
Kale chips are not potato chips and they will never be.
It's like comparing apples and oranges. They're both great in their own different ways and are similar in some, but they are two totally different things. The main reason why I like reaching for kale chips instead of potato chips is because they have that same similar crunchy texture and salty taste.
The other (obvious) reason why I love these easy kale chips is because they're healthier.
You must know by now that kale is packed with vitamins, fibre, and minerals for days…BUT, you have to prepare them the right way in order for it to retain a lot of the good stuff.
Most kale chip recipes call for the oven temperature to be set really high and the bake time to be really short.
I learned from a nutritionist that to way keep all the goodness in your kale chips is by baking them low and slow.
Instead of baking them at a super high temperature, bake them at a lower temperature and cook them longer.
The downside to this is that you'll have to wait longer to enjoy your kale chips. But it's worth it.
So, it's easy…prepare your kale, put it in the oven and go about doing other things. And since you're making a healthy snack, you can look around for some more healthy fare to enjoy. Like a Berry Beet Ginger Smoothie or a batch or Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
You can also follow and browse my Snacks Pinterest board. However you spend your time, at the end, you will have a delicious batch of crispy kale chips waiting for you.
It's always best to eat your kale chips the same day they are made so you get the best taste and crunch, but if you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and eat within a few days.
This recipe makes a small batch, so you will likely not have much left overs, if any!
So the next time you're tempted to grab a bag of chips at the store, grab a big bunch of kale instead and make these super healthy and easy kale chips. Your body (and your family!) will thank you.
And if you make them, please share a pic with me on Instagram, I want to see! I'm @delightfuladventures over there!
Searching for a recipe for easy kale chips? Search no more, this is it! Plus, learn the trick to retaining the nutrition in your baked kale chips.
Break the kale up into bite size pieces. Discard the stems and ribs.
Place kale in a colander and wash well. Shake out all excess water.
Place kale into a large bowl and add olive oil and salt. Using your hands, massage the oil and salt onto the kale pieces.
Divide the kale evenly onto the two baking sheets and bake for 45 minutes or until the kale becomes crispy.

Q: Add some QWidget over a QOpenGLWidget How do I add a QButton on the bottom right corner of a QOpenGLWidget?

A: The geometry property holds the geometry relative to it's parent excluding frame.
Calculate the position for your child widget relative to the parent widget geometry.
And then set the geometry using setGeometry.
A rough pseudo code is below, (Which is untested and just for Idea. The geometry calculation also may not be correct. But gives you an idea to achieve your goal).
Look into comments for details.
//YOUR OPENGL WIDGET
QOpenGLWidget *pOpenGL =  new QOpenGLWidget(<<PARENT WINDOW>>, <<FLAGS>> );

//THE BUTTON YOU ARE TRYING TO ADD. ESTABLISH PARENT CHILD RELATION
QPushButton *pButton = new QPushButton(pOpenGL);

//THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT TO SET THE LOCATION
//CALCULATE THE GEOMETRY POSITION RELATIVE TO PARENT WIDGET
//JUST FOR YOUR IDEA. MAY NEED TO DO SOME PROPER CALCULATIONS
pButton->setGeometry(pOpenGL->x(),pOpenGL->y()-(pOpenGL->height()-20),10,20);

//THEN SET THE CENTRAL WIDGET
setCentralWidget(pOpenGL);

A: You can use the function move :
QOpenGLWidget *openglWdg =  new QOpenGLWidget();
QPushButton  * btn = new QPushButton(openglWdg);
btn->move(0 , 0);

Applying Smart Security Model to Protect Client Services From the Threats of the Optical Network

View Applying Smart Security Model to Protect Client Services From the Threats of the Optical Network on the publisher's website for pricing and purchasing information.
The chapter discusses the security of the client signals over the optical network from any wiretapping or loosing. The physical layer of the optical transport network (OTN) is the weakest layer in the network; anyone can access the optical cables from any location and states his attack. A security layer is proposed to be added in the mapping of OTN frames. The detection of any intrusion is done by monitoring the variations in the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) by using intelligent software defined network. The signal cryptographic is done at the source and the destination only. The chapter shows how the multi-failure restorations in the multi-domains could be done. A new model is introduced by slicing the multi-domains to three layers to fit the needs of 5G. The results show that the multi-failure restoration improved from 25% to 100%, the revenue from some OTN domains increased by 50%, the switching time enhanced by 50%, the latency reduced from 27 msec to 742 usec, and it will take many years to figure out the right keys to perform the decryption process.
