Any opinion about these simple basses?
Yup, mostly 2 string and some 3 string basses.
I don't have experience with traditional guitar bass "per se", however I played viol da gamba for years in college (an obscure renaissance bowed 6/7 stringed instrument played in quartet/quintet/sextet) that used skinny gut string for "fret markers" (I thought they were real frets until I started playing ukulele and found out what *real* frets are supposed do). When I sang in front of an orchestra once I got to play with around with a double bass and that was pretty easy to get used to.
I'm just considering grabbing a 2 string fretless to play with, one of their more conservative "punk basses" might be interesting.

I've played bass for 32 years. I looked at their website, and I thought some of them were really cool looking. And the prices are certainly nice! Their EUBs and Touch models looked really interesting.
I don't have an opinion on them, but there's a thread on TalkBass with over 600 posts that may be of help.
I dunno, they look like Krapp to me. I would spend my money on a regular bass. There are fretless ones available.
You could play the viol da gamba as a bass. We have a local band that uses one for the "bass". Here are some pictures of them.
gambas are too rich for my blood. From what I remember a gamba bass starts at like 2500USD or so. Also where I live an instrument like that would be extremely prone to cracking.

My grand pa order a one string bass shaped guitars like a shotgun. He might order a travel neck through bass with detachable wings. These guitars would be fun. I did specially for Kevin of Krappy Guitars a week after he delivered my new Twiggy 4 electric upright bass to me.

Lots of cool bases like these on cigarboxnation.com. Basically electric bass dulcimers. Whether you make with actual cigar box or not, same basic designs.

Haddish takes Hollywood by storm
NEW YORK (AP) — What's the best thing that's happened to Tiffany Haddish in the past year? Tough question.
The 38-year-old comedian takes a deep breath. "Meeting Oprah, getting a Tesla, hosting the MTV Movie and TV Awards, winning awards, going on trips, staying in different countries, getting an award in Canada. Going to Africa was really super awesome. Getting to meet my aunties and cousins that I hadn't met before. Having the funds to get my mother out of a mental institution — that's freaking amazing — and getting her the best doctors. Being able to afford to take care of my grandmother. That's really better than everything."
She pauses. "I could keep going because it's been a pretty phenomenal year," said Haddish, laughing. But she has one more to add. "Being able to see my ex-boyfriends in passing, them saying 'Hey, I'd like to take you to dinner some time,' and me saying, 'I'm sorry. I'm busy.' That's pretty awesome too."
A year after her breakout role in "Girl's Trip," Haddish is indeed busy. At the top of the list is the Tyler Perry written-and-directed comedy "Nobody's Fool" (Nov. 2), which pairs her with Tika Sumpter. They play sisters (with Whoopi Goldberg as their mom) who, once Haddish's character gets out of jail, discover that Sumpter's boyfriend is catfishing her. She'll also star alongside Kevin Hart (who for years has been a mentor to Haddish) in "Night School" (Sept. 28) and appear in Ike Barinholtz's dark comedy "The Oath" (Oct. 12).
Haddish is also prepping a Netflix stand-up special, attending the Emmys as a nominee for hosting "Saturday Night Live" (she became the first black stand-up comic to host), developing a sitcom with Danielle Sanchez-Witzel ("The Carmichael Show") and readying season two of "The Last O.G.," with Tracy Morgan. And that's to say nothing of her litany of projects due next year.
With blistering speed, Haddish has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand talents. Everyone from Paul Thomas Anderson to Judd Apatow (who's interested in adapting Haddish's memoir, "The Last Black Unicorn," with her) wants to work with her. And this fall, she'll be everywhere. It's the culmination of Haddish's inspiring rise from a difficult upbringing to the highest reaches of show business.
Haddish has said she was abused a child before entering foster care, and later was briefly homeless while trying to make it as a stand-up in Los Angeles. But her confidence in her future never wavered; Haddish's production company is named after her personal slogan: She Ready.
"People always say, 'Are you surprised?' No, I'm not surprised. I manifested this," said Haddish. "This is part of my list of goals. I'm grateful I've accomplished this much so far, but there's so much more I want to do. I want to build my own studio one day. I've got my little production company going and I want to create things that inspire people to be their best selves."
Yet as much as Haddish has been accomplishing, some objectives have remained elusive. "Still trying to get pregnant by Leonardo DiCaprio," she said. "He's not giving me the time of day right now but he'll come around."
Haddish's telling of her encounter with DiCaprio is exactly what has made her so beloved: She's radically unfiltered and unapologetically herself. If she wants to wear an Alexander McQueen red-carpet dress over and over again, she will. And if she has a good story about meeting a celebrity, she'll tell it.
Of her DiCaprio-like flirtation with Michael B. Jordan, Haddish said that at the Met Gala the two decided "it's probably best just to work together." (One tight-lipped exception: She won't comment anymore on that infamous Beyonce party scene: "Don't ask me who bit Beyonce because I'm not gonna snitch!" Haddish says, laughing.)
But, as Sumpter found out, it can be quite a whirlwind joining Haddish's world. While making "Nobody's Fool," the pair crashed a prom in their hotel, dancing in a sea of awe-struck teenagers while streaming it on Instagram.
"She just does what she does," said Sumpter. "Tiffany is going to be Tiffany, you just let her run with it. It felt like real sisters. We had each other's backs. She's very supportive. I feel like our chemistry was pretty grand."
Haddish acknowledges some things have changed for her. Now, she gets up every morning at 4 or 5 a.m. "I work every single day. I've always worked every day, just not as hard," she said. But the overwhelming interest in all things Haddish (she also signed a first-look deal with HBO earlier this year) has also been exhausting. "I turn down things every day," she said.
How does it feel to be so loved? "It feels just like when I was in high school and I was a mascot. I was the most popular girl in school because I was the goofiest girl in school," said Haddish. "It feels just like high school but amplified."
But at a time when comedy has struggled mightily at the box office, Haddish has proven the great exception. She hopes to keep going right until her studio and self-help center sits on the corner of two streets: Tiffany and Haddish. She will make it happen, she insists. "And I will be changing people's lives for the better."

Q: probability that something will occur given infinite time thanks in advance for the help.  Let r be a round.  Also let N be a set of coins.  Suppose that every round I flip all of the coins.  Is it correct to say given infinite rounds the probability that there will be at least one round where all N coins are heads or tails is 1?  If so how would I express this conclusion mathematically?  I believe that I could express this conclusion (as true) using a limit, but I'm not completely convinced that using a limit approach is logically correct.

A: This is a situation that considers the convergence of random variables, and so I believe the strongest statement you can make is that it converges "with probability 1" or "almost surely".
To clarify, let's define $X$ to be a random variable that represents the number of heads that turn up when you flip the $N$ coins in a single trial.  Then let's say that you repeat the experiment $k$ times and represent the number of heads in each trial by $X_i$ so that you have a sequence of independent random variables $\{X_1,X_2,...,X_k\}$. Finally, let's define $$Y_k=\min\{X_1,X_2,...,X_k\}$$
So if $Y_k=0$ we had a round that had zero heads/all tails.  We can state that $Y_k$ will converge to this result "with probability 1" if we can show that
$$P\left(\lim_{k \to 0}Y_k=0\right)=1$$
So let's do that.
Clearly $Y_k$ is nonincreasing since it's defined as the minimum of the $X_i$'s. Furthermore, the lowest that it could conceivably be is $0$.  So let's take $\epsilon\gt0$.  Now we can get $Y_k\ge\epsilon$ if and only if $X_i\ge\epsilon$ for all $i$, which implies that
$$P(Y_k\ge\epsilon)=P(X_1\ge\epsilon,X_2\ge\epsilon,...,X_k\ge\epsilon)=\left(\sum_{j=\epsilon}^Np_X(j)\right)^k$$
where $p_X(x)$ is the PDF of the binomial distribution
$$p_X(x)={N\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{N-x}$$
$p$ being the probability of tossing a head with one of the coins.  So we know that
$$\sum_{j=0}^Np_X(j)=1$$
which means that
$$\sum_{j=\epsilon}^Np_X(j)\lt1$$
for $\epsilon$ greater than $0$.  (Note that this is a strict less than due to the definition of $p_X(x)$ and my assumption here that $p\neq0$ and $p\neq1$ since that would be trivial.)  This, in turn, implies
$$\lim_{k\to\infty}P(Y_k\ge\epsilon)\le\lim_{k\to\infty}\left(\sum_{j=\epsilon}^Np_X(j)\right)^k=0$$
so that $P(Y_k\ge\epsilon)=0$ for any $\epsilon\gt0$ as $k\to \infty$.  We can then conclude that $P(Y_k\gt0)=0$ as $k\to \infty$, which implies that $P(Y_k=0)=1$ as $k\to \infty$.  So now we have that $Y_k$ converges to $0$ with probability $1$, which is to say that it converges to the result of getting all tails on one of the tosses with probability $1$.  In a virtually identical manner, the same can be said about getting all heads.
In conclusion I repeat that the strongest statement I can make about this situation is that it converges to the result you're asking about with probability 1, which actually isn't to say that it's certain to happen.  It's basically as close to certain as you can get without being certain, though.
A bit more info if you're interested in convergence of random variables.

Saving Mars one kill at a time in Red Solstice 2: Survivors
June 4, 2021 June 3, 2021 Eduardo Reboucas PC, Previews
In fiction, nothing good ever comes out of Mars. In Red Solstice 2: Survivors, Earth has been ravaged by mutated monsters, forcing humanity to eke out a living on Mars. But lo and behold, those pesky abominations have found their way to our new home, and it's up to a lowly squad of marines to keep them at bay.
To be honest, I had zero prior knowledge of what the Red Solstice franchise is about having not played the first game, so I counted on the latest game's intro to cue me in, which it did… kinda. Okay, it was basically a half minute clip of a robotic lady sounding voice talking to what appeared to be soldiers, so I had to take what I could get. 505 Games recently held an online preview video event for Red Solstice 2: Survivors and with it, they also released an alpha, which I got a chance to check out on Steam.
For those like me who don't know much about the series, Red Solstice 2: Survivors is a pulled back top down point and click, squad-based tactics/action game set on future Mars, and the alpha has two distinct modes to pick from and test the current build of the game out, including a skirmish mode.
Damn bugs just won't give up.
Since I'm new to things, I picked the campaign which had me control a lone marine who's just woken up in the middle of a recently abandoned research post overrun by a bunch of bugs. Red Solstice 2 should be instantly playable by anyone who's touched recent tactics games like XCOM: Chimera Squad, basically having you click to move and put your soldiers behind cover in order to gain a defensive buff, or take things on directly if you prefer.
Differently from that series, though, in Red Solstice 2: Survivors the action takes place in real-time, so your placement only lasts you so long before you're forced to figure out an alternative. Luckily, the alpha puts you in control of an already extremely capable killing machine, so even when I got vastly outnumbered by the enemy, a couple of shots to each of them quickly tilted the situation to my advantage.
From my time playing the alpha, it feels like the devs at Ironward wanted to streamline the game and make it very snappy, thanks to the addition of on the move overwatch mode that basically makes it so your squad automatically shoots at any baddies as you click your way forward. Other skills are mapped to a variety of keyboard shortcuts, and if you're feeling like clicking even more, Diablo-style, you can also directly control your shots.
Something gruesome's going on around here…
Then again, movement took a backseat in favor of holding out a position as waves upon waves of enemies started to attack our just met allies, all before we were to blow the base sky high with some conveniently dropped explosives. The tutorial nature of the alpha had me stick to particular spots before the action got going and I could actually complete the objective, but like the jerk I am, I was disobedient and refused to step into the circle. That forced me to kill many more waves than necessary until I, uh, realized that I was standing in the wrong spot. Oops.
Anyway, the little that I got to play of the alpha really helped perk my interest for Red Solstice 2: Survivors. Even though its subject matter feels like nothing to write home about, the gameplay felt tight enough and the action as frenetic as it's to be expected for a game about space marines shooting the ever living crap out of a bunch of bugs in Mars.
And thankfully there won't be much more to wait until we're officially deployed on Mars. Red Solstice 2: Survivors is slated for release on June 17th on Steam, and you can bet your ass we'll be getting our own to Mars in order to save whatever's left of humanity by the time we get there for a full review.

Review: Treasure Hunting for Love and Profit in The Magnificent Trufflepigs
Review: Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is extremely faithful to the original game


The prophet\'s role was to challenge, chide, and chastise but it was also to comfort and counsel. Jeremiah\'s message in this week\'s haftarah was in the latter category. He foresaw that God would visit punishment upon Egypt, one of the two world powers that challenged the nation of Judah\'s existence. Judah was counseled not to fear from the upheaval because its salvation was assured. Still, for a small, beleaguered nation surrounded by great powers, solace did not come easily.
This prophecy should have allayed the nation\'s angst, but for some of the medieval commentators, the promise of Egypt\'s restoration recounted at the end of the prophecy of its defeat was a source of dismay. After all, Egypt quickly rebuilt itself while Judah\'s redemption seemed to tarry for so long. Rabbi David Kimche (12th century Provence) asserted that this prophecy was intended to reassure the nation that their restoration would ultimately be qualitatively different from that of Egypt. Egypt would never experience a period of quiet and peace while Israel\'s restoration, when it eventually came, would be utopian in nature.
Rabbi Isaac Abrabanel (15th century Spain) was also disconcerted by the contrast between the brevity of the Egyptian exile to Babylonia with the seemingly never ending Jewish exile. The tenor of his interpretation differs from Kimche\'s. He distinguishes between two types of Jewish exiles: those who left voluntarily and those who were forcibly exiled. He claims that those who were forcibly exiled from their homeland would be returned home more quickly than those who abandoned their nation and left voluntarily. These people, he asserts, would have to wait for the ultimate redemption.
Why does Abrabanel make this seemingly strange distinction? Obviously, he sees those who maintained loyalty to their nation and people, even in hard times, as more worthy than those who, figuratively, abandoned ship. It takes faith and strength of will to identify in hard times. Abrabanel should know, having himself undergone exile from Portugal and from Spain for being a Jew even though he had been the Finance Minister of both countries. His faith in God and the strength of his Jewish identity, however, never waivered. Is it any wonder, then, that he felt this meritorious behavior should be rewarded?


The obedience training methods used by the Club are the up to date, motivational methods in which correct behaviours will be rewarded.
The aim of the Club is to teach you, the individual, how to train your dog.
Each week you are taught a series of simple exercises in class which you should then repeat at home during the week.
The Club recommends you spend at least 10 minutes training your dog each day at home.
Your dog must wear a flat collar with identification. Should you have difficulty controlling your dog on a flat collar your Instructor will advise you on a suitable soft check training collar, head halter or training harness, which may be purchased from the club shop. The use of check chains is actively discouraged by this club.
A fabric lead approx. 750mm – 1.2m long. (NO extenda leads please).
Tasty, soft food treats for rewards e.g. cheese, cooked sausage, chicken – cut into tiny pieces. A 'treat pouch', available at the club shop, will leave your hands free & prevent your pocket becoming unpleasant! Food in a plastic bag is not recommended as it is too hard to get food out of it quickly.
Every breed of dog was developed for a specific job.
Some were bred to protect and guard, some to kill vermin, some to retrieve and others to herd or hunt.
These days few dogs, regardless of breed, actually earn a living doing the job they were bred for. Most are 'Companion Dogs' and the behaviours needed to become a good companion have to be taught.
Today, some of the behaviours associated with a particular canine 'job' e.g. digging out vermin, are not acceptable & they need to be modified & managed. The dog digging the garden is not being destructive – just imaginative & compliant to his breeding!
they must be house trained.
they must be taught not to jump on people.
they need to be taught alternative behaviours to destructive chewing & digging, etc.
they must be a good neighbour – quiet unless there is a real need for barking.
they must remain home rather than wandering the streets & neighbourhood gardens.
Training strengthens the bond between you & your dog.

It can be difficult to find healthy recipes that still feel Christmassy. Try some of these recipes by Marriott and Hand in Melbourne's Inner West.
Christmas is a great time to spend time with your family – which usually means family dinners and lunches with lots of unhealthy food. While the holiday season really should be the time of no judgement, it's still important that you take care of your body and your smile to some extent. You can still have that Christmas dinner or lunch with some of these great recipes.
A Christmas Tree Watermelon Forest is an easy and healthy Christmas treat. Watermelon is also crunchy which can help minimise plaque and assist with the flow of saliva which remineralises the teeth. All you need to do this easy recipe is have a knife and carefully cut the shapes into normal triangular watermelon slices. You can try a simple tree or carve the multiple layers of the tree for a more realistic Christmas tree effect.
Use the left over watermelon in a smoothie which is great for a breakfast snack.
No matter whether you have your salmon barbequed, baked or pan-fried you can add a cheese and almond crust. Simply put a sprinkling of tasty cheese on one side of the salmon and place almonds on top. Continue cooking for a further five minutes. You'll get crispier results in the barbeque or oven.
Not only is salmon rich in Omega-3 oils, the almonds also have high calcium levels which is good for teeth and gums. Cheese also helps to neutralise plaque acid in the mouth which prevents cavities from affecting your teeth.
Of course you will want a treat at Christmas time and there's no reason why you can't simply choose a better version of your favourite treats to help minimise damage to your teeth and health.
Today we'll be giving you a recipe for our personal favourite – baked New York cheesecake.
Process the crust ingredients in a food processor – press into a circular tin.
Use an electric mixer on low-med to mix together yoghurt, cream cheese, salt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, melted butter, eggs and sugar.
Cook for 60 minutes and test. If the mixture feels solid but creamy remove from oven.
For this recipe we have chosen coconut sugar and have minimised the amount of lemon juice to reduce the amount of acid that comes in contact with the teeth. Yoghurt and other dairy products also contain vitamins, minerals, protein and carbohydrates which are essential nutrients that can help prevent tooth decay. Of course this recipe is not perfect for your teeth as it still contains sugar but it is Christmas time after all.
If you have any further questions about what food to eat for your dental health please post your question on our Facebook page.
We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and will see you in the New Year for your dental check-up!

EEOC Receives Record Number of Charges in FY 2011
On Tuesday, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission released final statistics on Charges of Discrimination filed and resolved in its most recent fiscal year. The agency received 99,947 Charges, up slightly from 2010, and a new record for private sector discrimination claims. The EEOC's backlog of pending cases actually decreased in 2011 due to greater budgets and resources allocated to investigation and disposition of claims.
In 2011, the EEOC filed 300 lawsuits, and obtained record amounts of monetary relief for claimants, both through litigation and settlement of Charges. These statistics reflect the aggressive litigation posture adopted by the agency, and its increasing willingness to sue rather than leave claimants to finding their own representation.
Of the Charges filed in 2011, retaliation continues to be the most frequently cited basis for relief. While race continues to be the leading basis for discrimination claims, the number of race discrimination claims dropped in 2011. Sex, disability and age discrimination claims increased during this period. Back and other orthopedic impairments led the reasons for ADA claims, followed by depression and diabetes. The EEOC received 245 Charges under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act in its first full year of enforcement of that statute. None of these claims has proceeded to litigation.

Plan in place to ensure power outage never closes Caldecott Tunnel
By Tom Vacar
Caltrans
Last week when Caltrans announced that the Caldecott Tunnel might be closed for the Public Safety Power Shutoff, commuters were shocked and angered.
OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) - Last week when Caltrans announced that the Caldecott Tunnel might be closed for the Public Safety Power Shutoff, commuters were shocked and angered. The Caldecott Tunnel complex gets PG&E power from two separate grids, one on the Alameda County side and the other on the Contra Costa side.
The odds of both grids failing at once has always been near zero.
Nonetheless, the Caldecott Tunnel complex has long had generators. But that system was there for a very specific purpose: a back up to the double grid system for emergency evacuations.
"The priority had to be on safety and so we had redundant systems in place and emergency system in place and a tertiary, a third level system in place," said Bart Ney, chief of public affairs at Caltrans.
But, the Caldecott is one of the most important corridors in California. It's essential for earthquakes, tidal waves and any other major emergency that might require a huge migration either way.
"Then we had to get right to work with our electrical crews and work directly with our utility partners in order to get separate generators out on site as quickly as possible," said Ney.
So, how much power does the Caldecott Tunnel need to operate all of its safety systems, its fans and it's other operations? It needs the same amount of power used by about 6,000 California homes. That would serve the entire population of Orinda.
PG&E also devised a way to get power to the Tom Lantos Tunnel which will also remain in place. The utility provided two critical generators to BART to keep that system in full operation.

www.jeel962.org | Mobile Application: Jeel962 | Jeel962
Jeel962.org is an online portal that brings together change-driven youth and introduces them as new players in decision making and community mobilization.
What We Observed
In a world where technology redefines communication and more increasingly influences how decisions are made, it is now vital that citizens, especially youth, realize the power and impact skills of the digital era have in shaping their lives. The dynamic through which citizens engage in governance and decision-making is changing. We are witness to more governments acknowledging this shift by utilizing online platforms and crowdsourcing input from citizens.
Youth of the MENA region, especially in less resourceful, rural and marginalized communities, are yet to realize this reality. Unfortunately, the understanding and usage of such tools is only available to those who have access. Knowledge utilizing online technologies empowers youth to speak the language of the century; and introduces them as new, competent and powerful key players in shaping policies, and defining development priorities.
Current efforts to bring together Arab youth via online platforms have not seen much success. The scarcity of online spaces for dialogue, engagement and mobilization for youth in the MENA Region resulted in youth regarding themselves as passive recipients of services and policies rather than active participants in shaping them.
HOW WE RESPONDED
The Jeel962 Youth Network was founded with a mission to promote a multi-stakeholder and inclusive approach to youth participation in Jordan. The aim was to witness the evolvement of a new generation of active citizens who embrace values of good governance such as accountability and transparency.
In this spirit, it was seen necessary to address youth in a language that is shaping their life. With an Internet penetration of more than 50% of the population, it seemed only logical to invest in an online platform that can provide a new, alternative and more inclusive channel of engagement for youth. Jeel962.org, and its complementary Android Mobile Application, were developed to offer a platform for engagement and much needed knowledge and skills. This crowdsourcing and solution-based online youth community emerges from Tech Tribes' strong belief that no one should be left behind. The goal isn't to use technology for the sake of technology, but to leverage it as a tool to achieve social objectives.
With more than 15000 youth involved to date, the Jeel962 online community stands as a living proof to how technology can transform youth engagement and foster community mobilization.
Youth have expressed frustrations at the lack of mediums and independent channels of communication through which they are able to mobilize, raise their competencies and claim and exercise their rights. The development of a youth-run online community of volunteers, trainers and experts was without question key to creating an enabling environment for community mobilization. Members sign-up by creating profiles that highlight their skills and volunteer experiences. Each is given the chance to identify and communicate with other members using a comprehensive filtration system. Being part of the online community also gives youth a chance to participate in training workshops and to sign-up for volunteer opportunities that are exclusively available to members.
Crowdsourcing has not only proved success in data gathering and research but also efficient as a tool in generating more user engagement. It gives online users the opportunity to shape conversations and more increasingly to engage in efforts to map out services and community issues. Jee962.org and its mobile application capitalize on the power of crowdsourcing by deploying a localized Google API-powered interactive map that enables young people to report on issues affecting them or incidents related to children/young people in their communities.
The website also gives youth the chance to respond to issues of priority highlighted on the map by turning them into community initiatives and to recruit members of the online community to help in their implementation. Initiatives are categorized by city and each offers youth the chance to publicly report on progress and provide activity updates.

IBM bolsters BI offerings with Business Analytics Enterprise suite
The suite, which includes the new IBM Analytics Content Hub, is designed to let enterprises access analytics and planning tools from multiple vendors in a single dashboard.
Anirban Ghoshal (InfoWorld) 06 November, 2022 17:50
IBM is releasing a business intelligence (BI) and analytics suite, dubbed Business Analytics Enterprise, that it says is designed to help companies break down data silos and barriers to collaboration caused by the use of varied sets of analytics tools across different divisions.
In doing so, companies can better face growing challenges including supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and evolving regulations, IBM said.
The new suite — comprising a new Analytics Content Hub as well as enhanced versions of Planning Analytics with Watson and Cognos Analytics with Watson — provides business intelligence tools capabilities for budgeting, reporting, and forecasting data across different divisions, the company said.
The suite, announced Thursday, is also an effort on IBM's part to increase its market share in the growing business intelligence and analytics software market. The market, which includes players such as Microsoft, Tableau, Incorta, Alteryx, Oracle and TIBCO Software, is estimated to be around $7 billion, according to market research firm Gartner.
Analytics Content Hub to allow analytics access across vendors
The new Analytics Content Hub, according to the company, is designed to allow enterprise users to access analytics and planning tools from multiple vendors in a single window or dashboard.
Additionally, it features algorithms that can recommend role-oriented content to help users surface new stories, reports, and dashboards from across their organization, to aid in decision-making, the company added.
Further, the Hub can analyse usage patterns to recommend content that aligns with a user or division's specific interests, IBM said.
Updates to IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson
As part of the new suite, the company said that it is updating its pre-existing analytics services – Cognos Analytics with Watson and Planning Analytics with Watson.
IBM's Cognos Analytics with Watson, which is an AI-based self-service program for creating dashboards and reports, has been updated with the ability to consider seasons and other, multiple factors while performing trend analysis, IBM said.
Additionally, IBM Planning Analytics with Watson, an AI-based service that helps streamline financial and operational planning, is expected to be available as a service on AWS later this year, it added.

NBA insider says he thinks Rob Pelinka still has a 'move or 2 left in him' to make Lakers competitive this season

Report: Lakers could have traded Russell Westbrook without losing 1st-round pick
By Jason Simpson
Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports
There were plenty of rumors surrounding Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook prior to this season's trade deadline. Although a deal involving Westbrook always seemed unrealistic, many fans wanted to see it happen.
Ultimately, no deal went down, but it certainly seems like the Lakers explored multiple possibilities for a Westbrook trade. One rumored possibility was the idea of the Lakers sending Westbrook to the Houston Rockets in exchange for a package including John Wall.
Interestingly, a new report indicates that Houston's asking price in a potential Westbrook-Wall deal might have been lower than what many folks thought.
"The way I heard it was it could have been done for a first-round pick, but then it was even suggested they could have done it for a pick swap," NBA insider Ramona Shelburne said during a podcast appearance. "I don't know the details of what that swap would be like or how that would even work. … Let's put it this way: They would have had to incentivize Houston to do the trade with some kind of draft compensation. I think it was even less than what people have assumed. But I think the Lakers are not ready to pull the ripcord on that Russell Westbrook experiment."
It's an interesting development in the Westbrook era for the Lakers. It seems like the team could have parted ways with him had it desperately wanted to.
Westbrook has become the scapegoat for L.A.'s struggles this season. He hasn't done himself many favors, as his play has been inconsistent on top of his bizarre fit on the roster.
However, the Lakers' issues go far beyond Westbrook's struggles. Defensively, for example, the team has been a disaster this season. L.A. is allowing 112.6 points per game.
That's certainly an area where L.A. is going to have to improve if it wants to get back in the title conversation this season. At 26-31, the Lakers currently hold the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference.

Humanoid ATLAS robot crams millions of years of evolution into two years
0 0 	 
By Matthew Griffin Robo Revolution 11th July 2016
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF
Robotisists just crammed hundreds of millions of years of natural evolution into just two years.
Boston Dynamics has unveiled a hugely upgraded version of its ATLAS humanoid that is smaller, lighter, and more agile. Furthermore it's been amazing to see the advancements the team has made in just two years – putting it into perspective the same types of advances in nature – the evolution of semi-autonomous bipedal mobility, took tens, if not hundreds of millions of years.
Meet the new harvesting robots that can pick 10,000 apples an hour
Last year Boston Dynamics showed off a battery powered version of the robot and now the "next generation" model, while still wireless, is smaller at just 5 feet 9 inches and 180 pounds compared to a predecessor that was six feet tall and weighed 330 pounds just a couple of years ago.
ATLAS Taking A Walk
In the video the new robot is seen walking untethered in snow covered woods, opening doors, lifting and placing boxes on shelves and even face planting then immediately getting up unscathed after being pushed by an evil colleague. As quirky as these stunts might appear, and it'd be all to easy to pass them off as a marketing stunt they represent a number of significant technological leaps and demonstrate three vital things – the ability of the robot to adapt to a changing situation, its advanced ability to regain its feet after falling down, and last but maybe not least, the fact that the team really need to seriously rethink robot-human relations.
The new ATLAS is a huge technological leap forward compared to its predecessor, which was already a pretty incredible robot and it can do things we've never seen other robots doing before which not just makes it one of the most advanced humanoids in existence but also one of the most desired – particularly by the US military who Boston Dynamics have had close relations with ever since their first generation ATLAS robot won the hotly contested DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) in 2011 and scooped up a cool $12 million in follow on funding.
Scientists have 3D printed the world's first physical neural network
So, how did Boston Dynamics do it?
"The engineering team did a huge amount of work to make ATLAS lighter and more compact," said Marc Raibert, founder and president of Boston Dynamics.
"One of the many things we did was use 3D printing to create the legs, so the actuators and hydraulic lines are embedded in the structure, rather than made out of separate components. We also developed custom servo-valves that are significantly smaller and lighter, and that work better than the aerospace versions we had been using." He then added that there were lots of "other work by a great team that I won't go into," but we can easily guess that AI, particularly machine learning and machine vision, as well as many more of today's emerging technologies such as LIDAR and new meta materials probably played their part as well.
Late last year, Raibert mentioned in a conference talk that this kind of integrated, additive manufacturing is something that Boston Dynamics was focusing on for the legs of its next generation robots. This makes sense because the lighter ATLAS is then the easier it's going to be for the team to create the next generation of mobility and control systems that will be responsible for it taking another step towards full autonomy, and another step closer to replacing humans in the field – wherever that field, warehouse or war zone is.
Europe will debate robot rights, ethics and AI kill switches in February
Since founding the MIT Leg Lab and pioneering the concept of dynamic locomotion, Raibert, who spun off Boston Dynamics from MIT in 1992, has focused on robots that move in a nimble manner, much like humans and animals. One of his most famous creations is the BigDog quadruped, whose movements were so animal like that many people found the robot "creepy."
The next gen ATLAS appears to achieve that same level of animal like agility, with the robot slipping and stumbling on snow but rapidly recovering its balance to continue marching. Raibert said that's all thanks to his controls team, which has been developing new algorithms and refining the old ones. "They also are taking advantage of the improved strength-to-weight ratio that this robot has," he added, "as well as other performance improvements."
One question that some roboticists had about the demonstrations shown in the video is whether ATLAS was being controlled by a human operator or performing its actions fully autonomously. Raibert said that for the outdoor scenes, a human provides general steering via radio while the robot uses its stereo and LIDAR sensors to adjust to terrain variations. ATLAS also does its own balance and motion control. As for the indoor scenes with the cardboard boxes, he said the robot "chases the box around and stacks the boxes autonomously, once someone gets it set up and tells it to go."
But of course, the big question in everyone's minds is, why did Boston Dynamics develop this robot? Raibert wouldn't give specifics but indicated that as far as Boston Dynamics is concerned, its vision remains the same as when he started it 24 years ago.
"Our long-term goal is to make robots that have mobility, dexterity, perception and intelligence comparable to humans and animals, or perhaps exceeding them, this robot is a step along the way."

India: Indigenous Peoples and Joint Forest Management
Posted on Oct 7, 2002. Included in Bulletin 63
India's experiments with Joint Forest Management (JFM) grew out of attempts by forestry officials to accommodate 'tribal' demands to manage their own forests. [The indigenous peoples of India are officially referred to as 'Scheduled Tribes']. Under JFM forests remain the property of the State under the jurisdiction of Forest Departments but local communities are contracted to manage the forests and retain a portion of profits from the sale of harvests. The extent to which profits are shared with the communities varies considerably from state to state in India, as does the degree of forest department intervention.
However, JFM is notable for the low security of tenure it provides to participants. In most states, the Forest Protection Committees established to co-manage forests with the Forest Departments lack legal personality and have no status outside their relationship to the government agencies. Many of those involved in JFM thus see the process as just another means by which the Forestry Departments are able to organise local labour to improve public lands. However some in the forest service have argued that State intervention is crucial to ensure that the weaker sections of communities benefit from and are not further marginalised by JFM.
In the mid-1990s, large-scale foreign assistance, notably through concessional loans from the World Bank, was provided to help 'scale up' joint forest management. Notionally, the programme now embraces the whole country. However, the programme has begun to run into serious problems. One set of problems derives from the lack of real political will in some States to implement the programme. In Indian states where the programme was 'home grown' and implanted by leading foresters, the scaling up has been relatively successful. In these states, the existence of a least some committed foresters, active social movements pressing for reform and a network of concerned NGOs, has ensured that mechanisms have developed to monitor progress and provide accountability. However, in other states which have accepted the programme mainly as a result of national policy change and the provision of outside funds, these checks and balances have been lacking. Forestry Department officials have resisted what they see as an erosion of their authority. Joint Forest Management schemes have thus been implemented half-heartedly, with inadequate community preparation and with too much authority being retained by officials. In these circumstances scope for the application of local institutions, knowledge and initiative has been frustrated and enthusiasm for JFM has been correspondingly weak.
A second set of problems has come from the inflexible application of the JFM concept. JFM was originally conceived by foresters as a way of encouraging the rehabilitation of degraded 'forest' lands. The programme is thus only applied in areas where natural forests are already lost and local communities require help to restore forest cover and achieve (or regain) a more sustainable forest management system. Ironically this has meant that those communities which have not significantly depleted their forests do not qualify for the programme. Many of the tribal groups in Central India have been caught out by this Catch 22.
In other areas, tribals have felt excluded from JFM because opportunities to participate have been monopolised by higher caste groups who have been able to use their greater access to officials to secure participation in the JFM scheme. Marginalised and technically landless groups like the tribal peoples have thus seen 'degraded lands' and 'wastelands' that were important to their livelihoods annexed to JFM, leaving them further impoverished.
Surprisingly, despite its policy on indigenous peoples, World Bank support for JFM, has not helped focus attention on the special needs of indigenous peoples. In January 2000, the World Bank abruptly pulled out of the Madhya Pradesh Forestry Project after tribal groups frustrated at the way JFM was being imposed on their traditional lands without their rights or interests being accommodated travelled all the way to Delhi to visit the World Bank office and voice their complaints. Denied access to the building, the tribals camped in the compound until the Bank accepted a petition from the group. World Bank staff privately admit that the project was not developed in accordance with its policy and was thus indefensible. Alarmed by this experience and facing complaints through the Inspection Panel, World Bank staff in India have discussed whether or not they should wind up their involvement in JFM altogether.
Among the lessons learned from the JFM experience are the following:
* communities can only benefit if they also have adequate lands for subsistence outside forests
* long term benefits require that a major share of the profits be retained by the communities
* forestry officials need re-training and given incentives to devolve decisions to communities
* forestry department commitment must be real and not a token response to aid agencies
* arrangements should be fitted to local forest management traditions not prescribed from above
* the programme should be extended to include healthy forests
* special provisions are needed to accommodate the needs and rights of indigenous peoples
In general, however, most indigenous peoples in India see JFM as an (inadequate) first step towards the restitution of their rights.

Q: Is factory burned bootloader required to communicate with ROM for NuvoTon w78E052D (8051) This article on 8051 based NuvoTon w78E052D says:

The nuvoTon w78E052D controller comes with UART boot-loader and can be directly programmed from the serial port.

The block diagram on NuvoTon website shows this to be the case. The datasheet for the device shows a 2KB LDROM which will be used to boot based on config bits. So this part must be protected from being overwritten I guess but in the same data sheet on section 8 MEMORY ORGANIZATION (page 14) there Memory Map shows a 16k ROM shown with no LDROM as an option. Wouldn't that make the UART stop working? Is there anyway to program it without the bootloader?
My understanding, atleast in the case of AVR series is, you would need a Arduino like bootloader to use FTDI like devices to flash the ROM through USB->serial. Without the bootloader, SPI with a programmer like VUSBTiny or USBAsp will be required. Is this correct?

A: I finally found the answer from the Nuvoton forum here which provides a general guide to programming Nuvoton micros. Could help someone looking for this info.
As per the guide:

Before using the ISP programming tool, user needs to program the boot code into LDROM by using a universal programmer or Nuvoton's NuMicro® ICP Programming Tool, and the CBS(CONFIG0[7]) configured as boot from LDROM.

The device in question has a UART interface which can be used for programming. Unlike most devices I've encountered Nuvoton devices have the ROM divided into multiple logical areas:

*

*Program the boot code into LDROM by using a universal programmer or Nuvoton's
NuMicro® ICP Programming Tool, and the CBS(CONFIG0[7]) configured as boot from
LDROM.

*Using the ISP programming tool to update APROM or CONFIG

The config bits which determine whether booting on reset is from LDROM or APROM is CBS (CONFIG.2)
The LDROM (Loader ROM) is where the bootloader goes into and the APROM (most probably stands for Application ROM) is where the the program goes into. Some info on the ISP process is also available in the datasheet but was not so clear to me. The ISP guide explain the process is much more clearly.


Setting foot on Halong Bay, travelers have opportunity to experience mysterious feelings in a fairy world of rock caves. Hidden inside Halong Bay caves are magic mazes of stalactites and stalagmites in various sizes and shapes as magnificent masterpieces definitely dazzling all visitors coming here.
Halong Bay is dotted with a lot of beautiful caves. Most of them are accessible only by boat but some can easily get by tour. Among Halong Bay caves, the most worth visiting that travelers can not miss chances to explore are Surprising Cave (Sung Sot Cave), Drift Wood Cave (Dau Go Cave), Heaven Chamber Cave (Thien Cung Cave), Pelican Cave (Hang Bo Nau), etc. Let step your foot to inside of each cave and you find it extremely amazing.
Located in the central zone of Halong Bay, Sung Sot cave is one of the largest and most beautiful caves here. With an area of 10,000 square meters, it contains different kind of rare rocks whose shapes are diversity and mysterious. Following the steep path under shady trees, visitors will reach the cave with two chambers separated by the 3m-wide path. The square outer chamber has the ceiling filled with fabulous stalactites while the inner one is quite large with capacity for thousands of people. Of Halong caves, Sung Sot is the most popular cave to visit in Halong Bay.
Thien Cung is also one of caves that worth a look among Ha Long Bay caves situated in Van Canh Island. The road to the grotto is perilous, covered on both sides by thick forest. With 130m in length, this cave is known as a magnificent palace created by abundant stalagmites. There are 4 pillars in the center fossilized in form of nature shapes such as fish, birds, flowers or even scenes of human life. All of which are created by hand of nature over million years.
One more cave we cannot forget to miss when traveling Halong Bay is Dau Go Cave which lies on a limestone islet 8km south of Bai Chay. Exploring inside the cave, travelers can see its construction of two chambers. The first one has the most spectacular stalagmites and stalactites of its own shapes, mostly depending on the imagination of observers. On the other hand, the second chamber appears mysterious colors when its walls reflect the bright lights shone on them.
Each cave has its own beauty and Halong caves really give travelers interesting exploration with mix of feelings.

In 1958, the Carleton College Board of Trustees hired Minoru Yamasaki to develop a new master plan for the campus, located in Northfield, about forty miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Yamasaki was by then one of the country's preeminent mid-century architects. Although Yamasaki never completed the campus plan, between 1961 and 1966 he designed five buildings for Carleton College.
Yamasaki's boldest design is the West Gymnasium (originally the men's gym), a massive structure that houses swimming, diving, men's and women's basketball, and women's volleyball. Built in 1964 at a cost of $1.1 million, the structure features a reinforced concrete thin shell roof that appears to float over the brick walls. The parabolic arches that form the three domes of the West Gymnasium are not only visually striking but also serve as functional elements supported by flaring concrete columns.
Yamasaki's other buildings on campus include Olin Hall of Science (1961), Goodhue Hall (1962), the Cowling Recreation Center (1965), and Watson Residence Hall (1966). He also designed a fourth floor addition to Meyers Residence Hall. In 1965, Detroit-based Yamasaki asked to be released from his contract because of his demanding workload. In 1987, Carleton College posthumously awarded Yamasaki an honorary doctor of humane letters degree.

Canopy Growth Corporation announced on Thursday that it has acquired Storz & Bickel in a €145 million ($220 million CAD) deal.
The German company, maker of the Volcano, is globally recognized as a leader in the design and manufacturing of medically approved vaporizers.
"S&B quite literally invented the vaporizer market. They make the best performing, highest quality, and most respected products in the segment," said Peter Popplewell, PhD., Chief Technology Officer, Canopy Growth.
Canopy has already kickstarted the development of advanced vaporizing devices ahead of the next wave of federally-regulated products in Canada. Leveraging Storz & Bickel's IP into the tech-heavy vaporizer designs already in progress will allow the Ontario-based cannabis company to introduce new products that"will set a new bar in terms of quality, functionality, and consumer safety" according to Popplewell.
The acquisition strengthens Canopy's operations in Germany where the company imports medical cannabis to European markets including approximately 2,000 German pharmacies.
"Joining Canopy will enable S&B to take the next significant development step forward. Access to Canopy Growth's extensive portfolio of test laboratories as well as pharmaceutical and medical-scientific know-how opens up entirely new product development opportunities," said Jürgen Bickel, CEO, Storz & Bickel.
Great acquisition. Just try to not ruin the brand.

NASA: Precisely on time on Dec. 24, 1968, Mission Control lost contact with Apollo 8 and its crew of Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, and William A. Anders. And everyone at NASA and onboard Apollo 8 was happy about that. It meant that the spacecraft and crew were on a precise trajectory to swing behind the Moon, and if all went well, to fire the Service Module's Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine to slow their velocity just enough to allow the Moon's gravitational field to capture them. With a successful Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn, they would become the first crewed spacecraft in lunar orbit, and Mission Control would regain the signal after 32 minutes and 37 seconds. If it didn't fire at all, they would regain the signal in 22 minutes and it meant Apollo 8 was heading back to Earth. And of course, a variety of engine malfunctions could result in different signal reacquisition times.

Colleagues across Randox sites in Northern Ireland have been donning yellow in order to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing and also to raise funds for these two fantastic causes.
Wear Yellow Wednesday is part of a series of events taking place at Randox as part of Randox Mental Health & Wellbeing Month – an initiative which encourages staff to take care of their mental wellbeing and seeks to support the work of AWARE NI and Mind Your Mood.
The month also entails a charity 'freefall' abseil from the dome of Victoria Square when 14 brave Randox colleagues will scale the heights to raise money for AWARE NI. You can visit their JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/RANDOXAWARE
AWARE NI is the depression charity for Northern Ireland. They have two offices in both Belfast and Derry. AWARE has an established network of 25 support groups in rural and urban areas across the country which are run by trained volunteers. AWARE also deliver mental health and well being programmes into communities, schools, colleges, universities and workplaces.
Ulster University's Mind Your Mood initiative is a service managed by Student Support but designed and delivered by students to have lived experiences of mental health illness. Mind Your Mood was created to help build resilience to avoid mental illness, provide support at the earliest point to avoid progression of mental illness to something more serious and threatening and to build resilience and awareness and provide support to help students with already-diagnosed mental illness.

Randox launches Mental Health & Wellbeing Month
Posted on 1st October 2018 at 3:44 pm.
Randox Health Holywood is this week hosting a fundraising event for mental health charities AWARE NI and Ulster University's Mind Your Mood to launch Randox's Mental Health & Wellbeing Month throughout October.
Held on Saturday 6th October 2018, 10am – 12noon, the health check company's coffee morning event will offer customers, visitors and the residents of Holywood the opportunity to call in, grab a tea or coffee, and sample some scones and sweet treats, all while helping to raise money for those who need it most.
By shining a light on mental health issues, Randox hopes to educate its staff on how to look after their mental health while also raising funds for its two official charity partners. The fundraising coffee morning launches a month of staff initiatives including a Wear Yellow for World Mental Health Day on Wednesday 10th October, a company-wide Bake Sale on Friday 26th October, and a freefall abseil from the dome of Victoria Square Belfast on Sunday 21st October.
Randox Founder and Managing Director, Dr Peter FitzGerald, commented;
"Every one of us has been touched either directly or indirectly by these issues and it's something we at Randox wish to help to address. We have for example invested significantly in research that will determine how problems with the digestive system can affect your mood, sleep and stress levels. We hope that our partnerships not only help those affected by mental ill-health across Northern Ireland, but also empower our Randox staff to take care of their own mental well-being."
AWARE NI is the depression charity for Northern Ireland with an established network of 23 support groups in rural and urban areas across the country, all run by trained volunteers. AWARE deliver mental health and wellbeing programmes in to communities, schools, colleges, universities and workplaces while also running a 24hr email help service.

Randox / Bosch partnership delivers game-changing device in fight against antibiotic resistance
Posted on 21st April 2018 at 12:31 pm.
A partnership between Randox Laboratories, the UK's largest manufacturer of in-vitro diagnostics, and the German technology giant Bosch is changing the way doctors will treat patients with antibiotics, with the launch of a revolutionary product – the Vivalytic.
It's estimated that 20% of antibiotics currently prescribed are unnecessary, and fuel the growing threat of global antibiotic resistance. This threatens the ability to treat common infectious diseases, and a growing number are becoming harder, and in some cases impossible, to treat. The World Health Organisation warns that without action, we are heading towards a post-antibiotic era.
This problem is being addressed by the Vivalytic. The result of a decade of R&D, it is an intuitive point-of-care analyser that, depending on the complexity of the test, will deliver results from 30 minutes: enabling doctors to select the right course of therapy faster than before. In some cases, this will be life-saving.
The first tests available on the Vivalytic are Randox's panels for respiratory and sexually-transmitted infections*.
Using Randox's patented Biochip Array Technology, the Respiratory Multiplex Array simultaneously reports on 22 viral and bacterial pathogens including Bordetella pertussis and parapertussis which causes whooping cough – without the need for secondary or confirmatory testing to inform clinical treatment decisions. The STI array enables the detection of 10 STIs from a single sample. Every day more than 1 million STIs are acquired, and many have mild if any symptoms at all. Identifying these infections correctly first time reduces the misuse of antibiotics and supports their targeted use.
The Managing Director of Randox Dr Peter FitzGerald commented:
"Antibiotic stewardship is a critical issue which we all have a responsibility to embrace and drive forward. This partnership is ideal, combining our expertise in molecular laboratory diagnostics with Bosch's cutting-edge engineering. The Vivalytic is a game-changer for clinicians and patients: never before has there been this level of accessibility to this range of molecular diagnostics."
Marc Meier, General Manager of Bosch Healthcare Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bosch Group, said:
"We are enthusiastic about having gained Randox as the first partner on our platform with two initial panels available from the start. It´s the beginning of jointly expanding the Vivalytic test portfolio for our clients. In this partnership the core competencies of Bosch in automation, miniaturization, and networking are complemented by Randox's expertise in developing and commercializing innovative diagnostic solutions."
Vivalytic and the panels will be presented to industry professionals for the first time at the ECCMID 2018 Congress in Madrid, Spain, in hall 10, booth 55A between 21st – 24th April.
*CE pending and FDA planned.

Q: Is there a way to track the value of the stack pointer using Intel Processor Trace? Is there a way to record the value of the stack pointer (either periodically, or when it changes) using Intel Processor Trace?
I think it could be done with PTWRITE, but sadly I'm working with a chip that doesn't support this.
