Dogs' Barks Translated in Human Language by Clever Computer Scientists

https://www.naturalnews.com/023836_dog_research_dogs.html
(NaturalNews) Researchers have developed a computer software that can identify why a dog is barking, according to a study published in the journal Animal Cognition.
A research team from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, recorded more than 6,000 barks from 14 different Hungarian sheepdogs in six different situations: alone, ball, fight, play, stranger and walk. Those barks were then fed into a software developed by researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
On average, the software correctly identified the dog's situation from its bark 43 percent of the time, better than the average human performance of 40 percent. It was able to identify which dog was barking 52 percent of the time, also a higher success rate than the human one.
The software's accuracy varied widely, however, depending on the situation the dog was in. The software did best at identifying the "stranger" bark, with a success rate of 63 percent. It was only able to correctly identify the "play" bark 6 percent of the time. The software's ability to identify individuals also depended on the type of bark, ranging from a high of 60 percent for a "play" bark to a low of 30 percent for a "stranger" bark.
According to lead researcher Csaba Molnár, the findings suggest that there is less variation between the way dogs bark at strangers than the way they bark while playing. He suggested that this could be due to the fact that historically, dogs were bred for their guard ability, which necessitated a guard bark that is easy to identify by humans. There was no need to breed dogs for consistent play behavior, however.
Juliane Kaminski of the Max Planck Institute suggested an alternate interpretation - the play barks might have evolved over time in response to the different reactions that they elicit from humans.
"In fight situations, the dog barks aggressively and the human runs away, end of story," she said, which would explain the lack of variation in those barks.

Sharp-witted sarcasm is a quintessential factor of British tradition, one which Brits take nice delight in.
Whereas folks from the UK might absolutely perceive that sure passive-aggressive phrases convey hidden meanings, in keeping with a latest ballot carried out by YouGov, these from the US do not typically have the identical comprehension.
The polling firm carried out a research to find out how properly People understand British sarcasm by asking a gaggle of Brits and People how they might translate a collection of widespread sayings.
These included expressions akin to "fairly good", "I'd counsel" and "I will bear that in thoughts".
YouGov discovered that whereas the vast majority of Brits would grasp that the phrase "with the best respect" is often used when somebody is "within the technique of calling you an fool", lower than half of People would draw the identical conclusion.
In distinction, half of People would take "with the best respect" to imply that the individual with whom they're having a dialog is listening intently to their each phrase.
YouGov primarily based its research on a meme about British sayings popularised by a website referred to as Immediately I Realized One thing New.
One of many different phrases included within the ballot was "you will need to come for dinner".
Whereas 57 per cent of the Brits understood that that is usually mentioned as a courtesy and never meant to be taken as a critical invitation, lower than half of the People shared this perspective.
"Being each insulting and *apparently* well mannered is the UK's secret weapon. Now excuse me, time for my morning queue," one individual tweeted.
"If we Britons may simply say what we imply I believe we'd do higher on the earth," one other commented.
One observer additionally identified that the research highlights the various methods by which British phrases are used throughout the nation.

NeocoreGames Announces Action RPG The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
By Taylor Cocke | May 10, 2012
Vampire hunting action RPG slated for late 2012.
Vampire hunters are pretty cool, I guess. I mean, they hunt down and kill what are perhaps the most badass of the old school folklore monsters. That's pretty admirable I suppose. NeocoreGames knows this, and is developing a new RPG based on one of the more well-known vampire hunters out there. Well, sort of. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing focuses on the story of the son of the famous stake wielder on his journey to follow in his father's footsteps.
There aren't much in the way of details yet, but in their announcement, NewcoreGames promises that the action RPG will take the hero to "Borgovia where former supernatural foes have enlisted his help to defeat a new scourge terrorizing the ravaged Eastern European city." Sounds like pretty standard monster hunter territory. But hey, there's "wry humor and snappy dialogue" too. Who could resist?
If you're interested in this sort of thing, NewcoreGames states that they're looking at a late 2012 release date.

In a post apocalyptic world, a beautiful young woman becomes the greatest female MMA fighter of all time. A dark and gloomy prophecy from the end of the age, as told by former NASA scientist Dr. Suzanne Honeyblue, mother of world famous female fighter Diana Honeyblue. Suzanne's somber, apocalyptic account is the voice of endtime revelation, and the truths that churn beneath cultured civility.
In their picturesque solitude on the Kansas prairie, Suzanne deals with the breakdown of boundaries between her and her daughter, on the eve of her daughter's world renown as a beautiful and brutal mixed martial artist. While Suzanne struggles to cope with the death of normalcy in her private life, their strange, idyllic world is interrupted by another young woman, who suffers a life threatening variation on the unspeakable. Suzanne is haunted by revelations of the modern mother-daughter dynamic unhidden, while the world at large recovers from a near extinction level cataclysm, and its reminder stretched from east to west across the nighttime sky.

Every rapper I've ever talked to has been a human. So far.
When you talk to a rapper you've only listened to via songs for years, when you realize they're actually breathing and that means they're actually human, those breaths obliterate the distance between the words you're writing and the person you're writing about. That distance can serve as a crucial buffer, creating space for necessary criticism, but it can also be a crutch. It's easy to fire shots at people whose wealth and fame have made them so distant they might as well be holograms, but flesh and blood humans? Do you really believe in what you're writing, enough to say it to a very real person sitting across the table from you?
That's the reason why interviews are so often an exercise in submerged paranoia for writers. An interview is a chance for an artist to not only promote their project but attempt to exercise some control over the way they're written about. Every word can be aimed at leveraging a positive review of that next album. At the same time, if a rapper really is human, that also means they're not purely marketing robots. Maybe they really do care about what you think, maybe they really did find that joke funny, and maybe both those impulses, the dual drives to control and connect on a more genuinely human level, are happening at the same time, within the same sentence. Wading through all those complications, deciphering the promotional from the human and then translating that person onto the page, that's the job.
Big Sean is no different.
In truth, ever since I first heard the skinny Detroit emcee with the quicksand-shifting flow, he's been more hologram than human. We all know the outlines by now: the Medium Sean jokes, his emergence as a rapper going head-to-head with Kanye and Jay, Kendrick's takeover of "Control," the hit singles, the gossip around who he's dating. These aren't so much chapters in the life of an actual human as they are storylines, memes, opportunities to rack up pageviews and retweets. Having your life constantly turned into food to feed the internet's insatiable appetite for more content can be dehumanizing, but Big Sean's also devoted his life to becoming impossible to ignore. Living under a microscope isn't the price of fame, it is fame.
So when the opportunity to talk to Sean in the midst of his promo run for Dark Sky Paradise came up, I'll admit I hesitated for a moment. The marketing-robot side of an artist is never more prevalent than during promo runs. Artists are forced to plaster on a smile and answer the exact same questions over and over again by a revolving door of writers starving for soundbites, all while feeling the pressure of those crucial first-week album sales numbers bearing down on them. It's no easy task to stay human inside such an intensely surreal environment, and no easy task for a writer to find the human within the hype. At the same time though, the chance to actually talk to the rapper I've written so many words about, the challenge of searching for the real in a man who's found himself a staple of tabloid magazines, was just too much to resist. So on a Thursday afternoon, after I had hastily eaten a burrito for lunch and Big Sean was in the car running through a packed itinerary, my phone rang and a strangely familiar voice said, "What up?"
While the titles of his previous albums, Finally Famous and Hall of Fame, suggested a man who believed nothing was more important than getting to the moola, as a title like Dark Sky Paradise would suggest, Sean's latest work is his most personal and often vulnerable yet. He recorded the album entirely inside his L.A. home, he gave away his phone number (his actual phone number), he included a clip of a conversation with his father, all moves aimed at revealing the darker moments lurking behind the glimmering fame he worked so hard to achieve.
"I just hope people can understand that I'm human like we all are," he told me. "I go through craziness like we all do. I don't think I'm any better or any worse. The only difference is that I put my privacy on the line." Putting that privacy on the line was about more than just relatability, it was also a means of using all that personal pain as fuel to push him creatively, to get him over a plateau he was beginning to feel like he was stuck at.
"It's been a crazy time," Sean said. "From relationships to losing friends to losing my grandma...I feel like creatively I had to figure it out. I feel like I was in a creative hole and I had to get out." Especially in hip-hop, a genre that's created an atmosphere allergic reaction to even the smallest admission of weakness, hearing any artist admit they felt creatively stuck was surprising, but right now it feels like Sean's on a mission, determined to deliver the unflinching truth of his life. "I felt like my career was leveled out, it wasn't going up or down. I was like, I gotta boss us. I knew inside I had the same potential and talent as anyone else getting praise for being the best, I was willing to put the work in, dedicate my life to it."
If Sean was going to be that honest I had to be honest too, so I admitted that before I heard Dark Sky Paradise, I didn't consider him a truly elite emcee. I'd enjoyed my fair share of his music, these last few months you could find me unapologetically singing along to "IDFWU" while stuck in traffic, but I hadn't felt that deeper connection his work, mostly because my favorite artists all make complicated, flawed human music. With each listen to Dark Sky Paradise, though, I can feel my mind start to change, and I'm not alone, Sean's aware of its potential effect as well. As he said, "This is an album that Big Sean fans and listeners can be proud of. And people who aren't that into me, I feel like their perspective may change, the tides may turn after listen to this."
The conversion of some critics to fans may be a pleasant side effect of the album, but Sean also made it clear that his intentions reach far beyond proving he merely belongs hip-hop. On album standout "All Your Fault," he says he's striving to be rap equivalent of Jordan or Magic, and that's not just your typical, empty rapper boasting. He really does appear to be driven by ambitions of greatness, phobic of anyone thinking his signing with Kanye was fortuitous luck, determined to one day see his proverbial jersey hanging in hip-hop's rafters.
"I belong in the top ten," he said. "To be honest I want to be the best, I want to be the top rapper, and I want to take it further than that. I'm doing it to be great, and if you're not doing what you're doing to be the best, you're not doing it. I believe in myself. A lot of people thought I would have faded out, but I'm still here. I'm still hungry. I'm more focused than ever." Listening to this music, talking to him, that hunger is evident.
Big Sean and I are not friends now. I'm under no illusions about that. I'd like to believe that at the very least our conversation was a welcome reprieve for him in a long string of interviews centered about Kanye and Ariana Grande questions, but the next time I have a fight with my wife I'm not calling him to vent, and I'm certainly not on his speed dial either. The joint tidal waves of media and the music industry pushed our lives together for 15 minutes, and now those same forces have pulled us back into our separate lives. But that one moment in our conversation, when it turns out Sean and I are both E-40 fans, when we both know every word to "Sprinkle Me," that was a moment of connection outside of any publicity, a moment I can now use as a lens to view his music through and perhaps see something beyond Big Sean the (finally) famous rapper and something closer to Sean Anderson, famous human.
We talked to Tech about the GRAMMYs, his respect for everyone from Young Thug to Logic and much more.

Carry On Review: Simon Says Read This Book
By Christina Ladd on October 16, 2015
About Christina Ladd
One of the Books & Comics editors at Geekly. She/her. Sailor Rainbow. Glitter and spite and everything bright.
The first and only thing you need to know about this book is that it's magnificently, enthrallingly, undeniably brilliant and you should read it. Immediately. Well, what are you waiting for? Go, go!
Unconvinced? Sigh. Fine. Simon Snow is the Chosen One, but he's a bit shaky on what exactly he's been chosen for. After all, he still can't control his magic very well, he's on the outs with his seemingly perfect girlfriend, and he's no closer to defeating the evil plaguing his country than when he was discovered at age 11. Even his pale, vicious, aristocratic roommate has stopped trying to murder him. In fact, Baz isn't at school at all. Where is he? What is he plotting? Even his whip-smart bestie Penelope is growing tired of his roommate obsession and wants to focus on the threat to the magic world. But Simon knows Baz has something to hide. And then the ghosts come out, and things get even more complicated…
Does this sound vaguely reminiscent of Harry Potter? Well, despite its cleverly original magic system and totally different blend of protagonists and antagonists, it ought to. It's heavily based on Harry Potter, but not in the way you would expect.
Carry On has a rather complicated genesis, so bear with me. First, you need to know that Rainbow Rowell previously wrote Fangirl, about a young woman who wrote fanfic. But not just any fanfic. Cath, the fictional protagonist, was writing a novel-length fanfic about a thinly-disguised Harry Potter character named Simon Snow. And the name of this fictional fanfic? Carry On, of course.
So yes, this is real book based on a fake fanfic in a different real book, and the fake fanfic is itself based on a fake book which is based on a real book series. If this doesn't give your inner English major thrills–or if you have no inner English major (you poor thing)–then you can just ignore it. None of it is necessary to understanding Carry On, though it does make everything loads better. The moments of strange dissonance when you pause and think exactly who wrote this and for what reason are nothing I've ever experienced before. It's an entire metatextual book, and not in an obtuse, scholarly way, but in a delightful, accessible way. Rowell is singlehandedly smashing the walls between "legitimate" and "fan" writing, between "mainstream" and "genre," and most especially between "hetero" and "queer."
Since Fangirl already spoiled this, I have fewer qualms about revealing that there is major queer romance. Rowell handles it exactly as she did in her incomparable Eleanor and Park, which is to say, with more sweetness and sexiness and genuine thoughtfulness than most YA put together. It's also great to see an author so masterfully walking the line between a book about queerness and a book that contains queerness. It's neither the sole, consuming subject nor in the background. Or, to put it another way, it's exactly like any heterosexual romance in YA.
Pictured: not quiiiite Simon and Baz.
Often queer YA is doubly doomed by being "genre" fiction twice over, relegated to a niche within a niche when really, it ought to be much more widely embraced. This is part of the reason why we have so much fanfic: there just aren't that many young, queer characters. This is changing, and Carry On is a giant leap in the right direction. Add to it a spate of diverse and diversely motivated characters, and Rowell is right on the cusp of a revolution in YA. Not just because she's chosen these characters (or they've chosen her), but because she's just so damn insightful about them.
Neglect and abandonment and cruelty. Privilege and poverty. Loss. Rowell deftly manages all these without making the book a complete downer. (Actually, it's quite funny.) She just doesn't flinch when looking at the tough stuff, nor does she make a gigantic, hand-wringing deal of it. And that's life. Even in a magical school with entitled lordlings and magic goatherds, the conflicts are profoundly human. Sometimes a little banal, sometimes the result of frustrating character flaws, these things balance out a world full of vampires and dragons. I've never read anyone better able to convey wrenching realities with such matter-of-fact-ness. When Simon describes why he is bad with language–because in foster care, most children are not spoken to very much, and their language learning is slowed–my heart just breaks. But like the title says, he carries on.
I am shelving Carry On right next to the Harry Potter series, and not just because Rowell is conveniently close to Rowling (though good job there). This is simultaneously the best riff, the most natural successor, and the best subversion of Harry Potter I could imagine. Now go on, get reading. Simon says.

The Shadow of the Gods Review: Brutal But Fun
When gods go to war, it is no small thing. The Shadows of Gods by John Gwynne is a Scandanavian-inspired grim and dark book that nevertheless avoids the common pitfalls that come with the label of grimdark fantasy. It is not grim for grim's sake, as in, it is not without hope and light moments. …

The series, A Chorus of Dragons by Jenn Lyons, since its first book The Ruin of Kings, released in 2019, has quickly become the series I look forward to the most. The fourth book, The House of Always, is no exception. It continues to balance the world-building, plot, and character development of the characters and …

When there is education in Tanzania for those with disabilities, it's generally in a boarding school where the students are segregated by type of disability. I decided to found a school for these children with the help of the parents. They named the school "Huruma", Swahili for compassion.
Huruma serves the poorest of the poor – financially poor, poor in opportunity, often poor in health, poor in reputation – often the invisible ones, hidden inside the home. Huruma is a neighborhood school for students who are deaf, autistic, mentally retarded, emotionally impaired, or physically impaired. Huruma is a small school with capacity for 40 students.
When parents came from great distances to find help for their child, it was difficult to tell them we wouldn't be able to provide housing or transportation, or that the school was full. Another challenge was helping parents accept that Huruma would not be able to cure their child's disability, but we would do our best to help their child develop to their greatest potential.
One of our goals was to change the local attitude toward children with disabilities, recognizing their God-given dignity, that even the most impaired child will contribute to society if encouraged to do so.

Most things that are considered worthwhile are anything but easy. Take making a budget, for example. Not only do you have to limit your spending but creating a budget that works for months or years is no easy task. That being said, discovering the keys to a successful budget is a venture that will benefit you enormously in today's economy and save you from commonly encountered money problems out in the world for years to come.
Not sure where to start? These 3 time-proven elements are considered essential keys to a successful budget.
It seems like every week a new program comes out that pledges to make it ridiculously easy to develop and maintain a budget. But how do you decide which one is right for you? Here are a few different options!
Known as the 'squirreling away' method, a cash-only system leaves nothing to chance. People who employ this method want to be extra-sure that their money spent on their budget, rather than splurging on things unnecessarily. This method can be as simple as taking an envelope and depositing a set amount of money into it for bills and savings each paycheck or keeping a piggy bank. The downside? Your money won't gain any interest and it's easier to lose in the event of a burglary or home invasion.
Many people see using completely electronically automated services as the key to a successful budget. Debit cards specifically designated for using on your bills can be convenient, particularly if they're set up to pay automatically each month. Several people also report that using spreadsheets and graphs is helpful for developing their budget, seeing which expenses they can cut down on, and is much more flexible and less hassle than using traditional record-keeping. The downside? Forgetting to back up your files safely can cause them to be lost. Also, depending on what financial information you have stored electronically, hackers and identity thieves have a chance of making off with your hard-earned dollars.
All of us have probably seen our grandparents poring over old receipts and check stubs as they balanced their ledgers and got ready for a new year of financial planning. Although it takes considerably more effort than the previous ways mentioned, many people have found that the traditional way is still one of the best keys to a successful budget and your money maintenance. Ledgers and keeping constant records of your financial transactions can lead you to actively search for ways to save money, reveal your spending habits, and provide an accurate budget each and every month. The main downfall of using this tool for planning your budget is in the time spent having to double-check your figures and keeping an eye on unexpected or numerous expenses.
Flexibility in your finances is one of the keys to a successful budget. Although you will always have fixed expenses, such as car payments, insurance, and rent, there are many variable expenses that can pop a hole in a budget very quickly. Put simply, life happens and so do problems. Whether you're having unexpected car trouble, accidentally ruined your work clothes, or broke your leg and ended up in the emergency room, this is where expenses can really make or break budgets. Include a section into your budget each month as an emergency fund. Most experts agree that a minimum of $500 is a good cushion for emergencies although creating a financial nest egg equal to your expenses for six months is a smart and achievable goal. Even if nothing happens one month, resist the urge to ignore that part of your budget and add the money into your 'rainy day' fund. You'll be glad you did.
Although this may seem odd to add as one of the keys to a successful budget, not having enough patience and getting discouraged with your finances is one of the main reasons that even carefully planned budgets can fail. Remember that a budget is a way to build wealth and ease your financial burdens over time, not overnight. If you owe money, this waiting game can be especially frustrating but the important thing to remember is that even if it's just a little, you are slowly pulling yourself out of debt whereas by doing nothing you would only be sinking further into it.
So, if patience is the key to a successful budget, where does motivation come in? By keeping you excited about your budget! Track your project and celebrate with rewards for each milestone. Set short and long-term goals so that you have something to work towards or make your budget into a game where you can see how much you save each week.

Successive governments have repeatedly shied away from properly addressing this and it is our view that there are two key causes (among others).
Secondly, things like ownership of the press and the power of fossil fuel lobbies are areas outside of our control.
It is our view that if we get enough houses to the kinds of emissions reduction necessary then we will be able to deal with the first of those arguments. If we do it as part of a national movement of those seeing the benefit in going now then we will be able to decimate the electorate's reluctance to embrace the kinds of change needed.
We think radical emission reductions in our home energy use can be achieved; if we get on and perfect how to do it, it'll get even more accessible to more people. We believe this will unleash a wave of consumer demand that will in turn precipitate the kind of change in the view of our governments and key service providers. We are even optimistic enough to think that if this happens this will produce the kind of example other countries might take up. Starting from our own homes we might yet head off the impending events that will shorten the lives of billions of less resource rich people as us.
We arguably have the forward looking section of the population on our side. Roger's Dissemination Curve shows that innovation and change do not appeal to all people at the same pace. However, as shown in the graph below, the 2.5% 'Innovators' would suggest there are about 2,700 households in Greater Manchester who would be the type of people to try something this new as long as the right deal could be worked out for them.

Quenching jets in the hot dense matter produced by colliding lead ions
heavy ion,
HION group
13 November 2014 | By
The RAA is shown as a function of the jet pT evaluated in events of different centrality classes (represented by different colours). The RAA in the 0–10% centrality class (red), the 10% of collisions with the most overlap, is approximately 0.5 indicating that jets are suppressed the most in collisions where the quenching effects are expected to be largest. It shows a slight increase with jet pT over the range reported in this measurement. As successively more peripheral (less overlap) collisions are selected, shown are the 30–40% (blue) centrality classes, the RAA rises and approaches unity, indicating the onset of the quenching effects. (Image: ATLAS Experiment/CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider is known to collide protons, but for one month a year, beams of lead ions are circulated in the 27-km tunnel and made to collide in the centre of the experiments. The ATLAS experiment has made new precise measurements of the suppression of jets as they blast through the dense matter created by the lead ion collisions.
Ordinary matter is made up of quarks confined inside protons and neutrons by gluons, the carrier of the strong nuclear force. At extremely high temperatures – almost a billion times hotter than the sun – a dense form of matter emerges called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This plasma filled up the universe for several millionths of a second after the Big Bang. It is produced during ultra-high energy ion collisions like those at the Large Hadron Collider.
High-energy quarks and gluons produced in "hard scattering" processes during the initial stages of an ion collision can lose energy as they bore through the QGP. They fragment into highly collimated sprays of particles known as jets. As the quarks and gluons lose energy, their transverse momentum, or pT, is reduced. This phenomenon is called jet quenching.
Jets are also produced in proton-proton collisions but there is no such energy loss as no QGP formation is expected. Measurements of such jets thus serve as an essential reference to calibrate the effects of jet quenching. The ratio, RAA, of the number of jets at a given transverse momentum measured in lead-lead collisions, compared to the expected number of jets in proton-proton collisions, quantifies how much the jet yield has been suppressed; it, thus, provides a useful measure of jet quenching.
The ATLAS measurement compared data of 2.76 TeV lead ion collisions taken in 2011 with data taken during a dedicated run of the LHC in 2013 of proton-proton collisions of the same energy. The measurement shows that only half as many jets are produced in "central" lead-lead collisions where the lead ions slam directly into each other, overlapping nearly completely, and the medium produced is the hottest as compared with proton-proton collisions. This measurement will be essential in constraining theoretical descriptions of the energy loss mechanism and provide insight into the properties of the plasma and how those properties emerge from Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory that explains the interaction of quarks and gluons.

From Jeb Hensarling, Sensible Talk on Immigration Reform
"Jeb Hensarling" by US House of Representatives - http://hensarling.house.gov/about/biography.shtml. Licensed under Public domain via Wikimedia Commons.
(This originally appeared in the Wall Street Journal's Think Tank)
I don't agree with Jeb Hensarling on everything. (For example, I think his attack on the Export-Import Bank is a needless distraction.) But he is spot-on when it comes to immigration reform.
In The Wall Street Journal's "Saturday Interview," Rep. Hensarling (R., Tex.) said that he supports pro-growth immigration policies (my words, not his), which include a "vibrant guest-worker program" for low-skilled workers and more H-1B visas for high-tech workers.
He also acknowledged that we don't have to build a wall across our entire southern border and that a good guest-worker program makes it easier for law enforcement to focus on catching bad guys.
Contrast this sensible view of fixing our immigration system with the bombastic rhetoric coming from his Texas colleague, Sen. Ted Cruz (R.), who fulminated against "illegal amnesty" in an op-ed in USA Today.
James Freeman, who wrote the Wall Street Journal piece, said of Rep. Hensarling's position on immigration reform: "This focus on immigration's economic benefits is consistent with his free-market principles, though it puts him at odds with the drift of many Republicans who are falling for the fallacy that there are a finite number of jobs in the country and every immigrant robs a job from someone already here."
Mr. Freeman and Rep. Hensarling are right. Fixing our broken immigration system is an important part of the strategy to expand our economy. I am glad that Jeb Hensarling understands that basic fact.

How To Understand Oligopoly Concentration | Everything You Wanted To Know About Accounting, Finance, Money & Tax!
Oligopoly refers to the state of market wherein a couple of comparatively big companies get concentrated, meaning a few but big companies are responsible for most of the total amount produced. Oligopoly concentration by itself is not essentially bad but is often the cause unhealthy business practices like no competition on the basis of prices and complicity of businesses. There are three ways to measure Oligopoly concentration: ratio of concentration, market share and Herfindahl index.
Concentration is the key characteristic of oligopoly. If the market for a product is monopolized, concentration is not really applicable. In case of perfect competition there are many small companies and concentration can hardly be measured.
Oligopoly concentration comprises of a couple of big companies that produce most of the production for any given product. As such, production as well sales of product has a propensity of getting concentrated among a couple of companies. In case of a lot of oligopoly markets, more than 75 percent of business is in hands of the ten biggest companies. It is this kind of concentration that contributes to interesting characteristics of oligopoly like near elimination of competition on basis of price and business collusion.
Market Share: The simplest way to measure concentration is to assess the market share of one of the companies. Most often, it is measured as a part of the total sales or production of that company. For instance, total sales of soft drinks in Shady Valley may be $ 2,000 million, whereas OmniCola sells worth $460. That means market share of OmniCola is 23 percent.
Ratio of concentration: In this case, market concentration is calculated by the market shares of the biggest number of companies in an industry. In most cases of concentration ratios, there are four or eight biggest companies in one industry. For instance, in case of market for soft drinks in Shady Valley, four firms at the top have sales of $470 million, $360 million, $235 million, and $200 million respectively whereas the total market for cold drink is estimated to be $2 billion. That means concentration of four companies is to the extent of nearly 61 percent. More expressly, ratio of concentration is a fraction of the total sales of all the manufacturers. The results of concentration ratio vary from 0-100 percent.
Herfindahl Index: To overcome some of the limitations of concentration ratios, this index was developed. In case of four or eight firm concentration ratios, the goings-on of companies not included in calculation get ignored. Herfindahl Index takes into consideration the market share of all companies present in the market. Another feature of this index is that instead of just adding the market share, it squares up every market share before addition. As a result, Herfindahl Index gives values from 0 to 10,000.
Whenever questions are raised about likely violation of antitrust laws, government officials first check the ratio of concentration. When concentration is efficient or good, it becomes easy to abuse market control.

Home News English Somalia: Solar lights protect against sex attacks
Somalia: Solar lights protect against sex attacks
salimhagi
Chatting women sitting outside makeshift homes at night is a new scene in a once-dark refugee camp in the Somali capital. In a city where darkness brings the threat of attack, recently installed solar lights are helping to ward off sexual assault.
Women living in Mogadishu's hundreds of refugee camps often stay and don't use communal bathrooms at home at night because of the threat men armed with knives and guns pose to them. With the installation of 79 solar-powered lights by the Danish Refugee Council in a camp known as Zone K, life has returned to Mogadishu's nights.
"It feels like we are starting a new life," Sadiya Hussein, a mother of four, said while resting with other women on a sandy spot near their homes, which are made out of sheet metal or sticks and cloth. "Because of the lights we can come together to chat and get some fresh air. No rapist can sneak in now. It's fully lit and better."
Since a devastating famine struck Somalia in 2011, refugee camps in Mogadishu have held tens of thousands of people fleeing both hunger and violence. The number of rapes rose sharply, making the simple act of going to the bathroom a life-risking activity.
"They simply came and waited for women between their house and bathrooms," said Fatima Nor, who said she was once attacked but escaped when her husband intervened. "We really feel a little bit safer than before. I think having light scares the predators."
Mohamed Bundu, the Mogadishu director for the Danish Refugee Council, said that in addition to the extra security the May installation of the lights brought, they are also helping children study and businesses attract customers.
"All the criminal acts that were often committed because of the darkness have considerably gone down," he said.
The 79 lights erected on tall poles in the Mogadishu camp cost about $2,000 each.
Heather Amstutz, the regional director for the Danish Refugee Council, said the group has also installed solar lights in northern Somalia. The projects ask for buy-in from the communities they serve, which reduces the threat of vandalism or theft. The projects are paid for by U.N. funds.
The lights "add five productive hours to these small settlements. Kids can study by the light, the vendors are selling their vegetables by the lights," she said.
A U.N. monitoring group report on Somalia published last month said there are 530 camps in Mogadishu housing internally displaced people, 75 percent of whom are women and children who are particularly vulnerable to sexual attacks. The report said officials recorded 1,700 reported rapes between January and November 2012.
The report said there were probably more attacks that weren't reported and that the number of reported rapes was higher than previous years.
Attackers frequently wear government police or military uniforms, though the government has consistently denied its forces are responsible.
Despite the positive impact of the solar lights, one past sexual violence victims says she still doesn't feel safe.
"I see that the lights are helpful but they cannot, sadly, prevent the rapists from coming," the veiled 30-year old woman said while standing at the door of her home. "We are still exposed to the rape attacks because no one protects us."
Salad Ahmed, a 40-year old father of six, feels the lights are beneficial. Most camp residents can't fight back against attackers who wield guns or knives during attacks. Ahmed, though, has an axe and sword to protect his wife.
"The more you can see your enemy the more you can plan how you should engage him," he said.

Gabe: Tell me a little bit about yourself. What did you grow up listening to? What are some things that influenced how you are musically now?
Ryan: Growing up, when I first got into metal, it was mainly Avenged Sevenfold. Then I started branching out and listened to Underoath and A Day to Remember. Those were like the big 3 that I was really into growing up.
Gabe: I can definitely hear some Underoath in your music. That's cool. When did you meet the guys that you're in the band with?
Ryan: I met all of them after I graduated high school. Our guitarist, Bob, I've known a little longer…since I was 19. All the others I met when I was 20. A lot of it was just playing shows where I met them. I didn't go to school with any of them or anything.
Gabe: How surreal was it when you first got signed to Solid State records with some of the bands that you grew up listening to?
Ryan: It was a great feeling! It was great to get the kind of label that has so many great bands that I grew up listening to. It was very awesome! It's still crazy to be a part of the label and I'm glad that we can carry on the legacy!
Gabe: Your debut Creation/Destruction was the most successful Solid State debut ever at the time. How was it like to experience that and did you have to guard against pride at that point in time?
Ryan: Luckily, everyone in the band is pretty good about keeping a level head. It far surpassed what our expectations were. We're just grateful to have awesome fans that support us.
Gabe: Did you feel any pressure to release another successful record after that?
Ryan: I think our primary job is with touring and having a family. There's a lot of pressure in the music industry to top your last record. Or at least not to get smaller. One bad album can completely ruin your music career. And then you have to go back to working another job. So that's motivation to keep on the road and to keep doing what we're doing.
Gabe: You talked about touring a little bit…You guys have been on Warped Tour. You've toured with For Today and Attila. What are some things you've learned on the road that has helped you guys as a band?
Ryan: We just dissect every band we tour with regardless of what their band is about. We learned equally as much from Attila as we did with For Today or August Burns Red. There's always something you can learn whether it's stage presence or how they interact with the crowd. And we've also learned it really doesn't matter what your band is about…Most people are really good people and are easy to hang out with.
Gabe: You guys are on Warped Tour again this summer. What is that experience like being on Warped Tour as a band? I'm sure there are some really long, hot days in there.
Ryan: Yeah, it's a really unique experience. It's about a 12 hour day. You're outside everyday for 9 straight weeks. It can be very exhausting. It's definitely more like a marathon than anything else. You have to find ways to stay rested and put on a good show every day. And you have to find ways to stay healthy and not get sick as well.
Gabe: On your last album Slave to Nothing, it touched on the issue of addiction. There's all kinds of things that you can be addicted to, not limited to drugs and alcohol. Do you have your own experiences that influenced why you chose to sing about that?
Ryan: My experiences, personally, I don't have a lot of addiction. I've had some issues with devoting my time to the wrong thing whether it's video games or girls or anything. And I think a lot of it came from just watching friends and family members suffer through addiction. I even hear stories from fans on the road. I think it's important to write about that.
Gabe: Are you guys planning on working on new music after Warped Tour is over?
Ryan: We're always writing. We've already worked on some new music a little bit. We will keep on working on it after Warped Tour. Hopefully, we'll have another album release sometime in 2016!

On February 1st, the Illinois Supreme Court found an Illinois statute that bans persons from carrying or possessing firearms within 1,000 feet of a public park unconstitutional. People v. Chairez, 2018 IL 121417.
The Unlawful Use of Weapons Statute, 720 ILCS 5/24 et seq., prohibits people from carrying guns in certain public areas, including schools, public housing, public parks, courthouses. The law also prohibits guns on any public way within 1,000 feet of schools, public parks, courthouses, public transportation facility, or public housing. A violation is a class 3 felony.
Mr. Chairez pled guilty to possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a public park but later sought to vacate his conviction based on his claim that the statute was unconstitutional. The Illinois Supreme Court agreed, and struck down that portion of the statute that banned guns within 1,000 feet of a public park. The Court determined that the 1,000 ban was a severe burden on a person's Second Amendment right to carry a firearm, and that the state had failed to show how the 1000 foot ban actually reduces gun violence to children in public parks. The Court also noted the difficulty in a person determining the 1,000 foot area for purposes of compliance with the statute.
The Court did not address the 1,000 foot ban as it applies to the other statutory public areas (i.e., schools, courthouses, public housing), nor does the opinion affect the ban within public parks and the other statutory public areas.
