Will Machine Learning Make You a Better Manager?
25 Oct 2017Research & Ideas
by Michael Blanding
Big data...artificial intelligence...Internet of Things. These technologies have taken their shares of the headlines the past few years, but now machine learning is the buzz. Mike Teodorescu explains how it is changing the lives of consumers and businesses.
Credit: PhonlamaiPhoto
Thirty years ago, the idea of a machine learning on its own would have stoked the worst kind of sci-fi nightmares about robots taking over the planet. These days, machine learning is so commonplace, we barely notice it. Computers routinely learn what we watch on TV, what we buy, how we talk, and even how we feel—and use that to make predictions about how we'll act next.
As the field of machine learning (ML) has become increasingly mainstream, says Harvard Business School doctoral student Mike Teodorescu, it has evolved into the reach of everyday companies, who are increasingly using ML to manage many aspects of their business operations.
"There's been an explosion," Teodorescu says. "It's becoming less of a field in itself and more and more of a tool for people in other fields to use."
In a new working paper, Teodorescu surveys the latest methods of machine learning from a technical standpoint. But, you don't have to understand how exactly machine learning works in order to utilize it. In simplest terms, machine learning is a combination of fields, including statistics, computer science, and information retrieval, that teaches computers to recognize patterns that enable them to predict new patterns for the future.
"We are in a new industrial revolution led by algorithms"
We have all seen the process in action, whether it's Amazon telling us we "may also like" to buy an Instant Pot programmable pressure cooker, or Netflix suggesting we should really think about binge-watching The Good Place.
"You look for prior patterns and use them to discover what the future may hold," says Teodorescu.
As algorithms have become increasingly advanced, they may start knowing us better than we know ourselves. At least, that's what one Target customer discovered when he angrily stormed into a store clutching a circular for maternity clothes that had been sent to his teenage daughter, only to later find out that the store had accurately predicted she was pregnant.
Such examples represent a cautionary tale for retailers. On the one hand, they want to take advantage of moments like a first pregnancy when customers are liable to be changing their buying patterns. On the other hand, they need to weigh the invasiveness of such predictions with customers' need for privacy. "That's one example of where a company might receive blowback for an algorithm being too good," says Teodorescu.
Much of the earliest applications of machine learning concerned language. At the birth of the field in the 1940s, British mathematician Alan Turing conceived the abstract grammars to analyze texts and describe reasoning. Since then, the field of textual analysis had burgeoned to the point where analysts can "fingerprint" particular authors by the probability of how they use connecting words like "the," "and," and "that."
More recently, machine learning has moved into the realm of detecting emotion by examining the probability of certain words appearing close to each other according to a person's mood. "The really hot topic in the field is sentiment analysis," says Teodorescu. In fact, it's become increasingly common for companies to monitor their brand image through what customers say about them online—looking for trends of positive or negative keywords.
You don't have to be, say, United Airlines to take advantage of these tools. Managers can now purchase off-the-shelf products that can mine Twitter or Yelp and develop a detailed analysis of how sentiment is changing in real time. "It has basically reduced the barrier between those who can afford to keep data programmers on staff and everyone else."
Where we are going next?
The next step in sentiment analysis, says Teodorescu, is into consumer products.
"In the next five years, this will be available in your Fidelity account," Teodorescu predicts, "so you can check the news today about a particular stock and see if it is positive or negative."
Finance is another field in which Teodorescu predicts that machine learning will become more common, as banks and financial companies will use data about how customers use money to predict future patterns. "If you are a credit card processor and you have everyone's transactions, you could predict whether a particular customer is going to run themselves into debt and default in the future."
Machine learning is even being used to learn more about machines, says Teodorescu, who points out that manufacturers are increasingly using algorithms for preventive maintenance.
"You can predict when things are going to break down based on prior performance," Teodorescu says. "That could preempt costly assembly line shutdowns later."
In all of these ways, it's clear that while machines may not be taking over the world any time soon, machine learning certainly is. "It will become less and less a mysterious thing and more of a regular topic taught in schools in 20 years," says Teodorescu. "It will be something everyone learns."
For business, data science capabilities will become a source of competitive advantage in more and more industries. "Firms should invest in data collection and storage capabilities as well as data analysis people," says Teodorescu. "Detecting which customers or employees are about to jump ship, how to maximize effectiveness for every dollar of advertising spent, and how to make best use of existing tools and resources within the firm will all rely on data science capabilities."
In short, to be competitive next decade, most companies should be thinking today about investing in data-driven technologies such as data analytics, machine learning, and Internet of Things.
"I expect big data to become ubiquitous in the next decade; those who do not invest in it now will be left behind," he says. "We are in a new industrial revolution led by algorithms."

Police and Homeland Security officers at Philadelphia International Airport and Newark Liberty airport are investigating a possible bomb scare involving UPS cargo planes.
UPDATE 3:40 p.m. FRIDAY: President Barack Obama speaking from the White House said Friday afternoon that investigators discovered a "credible terrorist threat" against the United States with explosive material found on two suspicious packages that were bound for the United States from Yemen. The packages were found in Dubai and the United Kingdom.
An area of East Midlands airport – Britain's largest air freight terminal – was sealed off after investigators found a suspicious package containing a toner cartridge on a United Parcel Service plane bound for Chicago.
Britain's largest air freight terminal at East Midlands Airport was sealed off after investigators found a suspicious package containing a toner cartridge on a United Parcel Service plane bound for Chicago. At 3:30 a.m. U.K. officials discovered a toner cartridge in a package on the plane had been manipulated and found wires attached to it and white powder. Some pundits considered the events of the day a dry run, but John O. Brennan, Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, stated that dry runs typically do not involve explosives.
The cargo on the plane bound for Chicago did not leave England.
Multiple suspicious packages … a plane that arrived from Cologne, Germany was not allowed to take off from Philadelphia.
U.S. official got tip of packages headed to synagogues.
Officials are taking precautions that the devices that came from Yemen were intended for Chicago synagogues.
Synagogues in the Chicago area have been warned to be on alert.
The Jewish United Fund/ Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago (JUF) is the central philanthropic address of the Jewish community of Chicago and is one of the largest not-for-profit social welfare institutions in Illinois.
Two suspicious devices were discovered in packages in flight. Both packages originated from Yemen. Additional security for other suspected packages.
Three destinations with suspicious packages are identified. Newark, NJ; Philadelphia, PA and Chicago, IL. The planes en route to Newark and Philadelphia reached their destinations with the suspicious packages. The plane en route to Chicago was held at the East Midlands Airport in England.
Of the packages that reached the United States, one package came via London, one came from Cologne, Germany and one package arrived via Dubai.
An Emirates Airways jetliner was escorted by fighter jets because a package was tracked from Yemen and known to be in the aircraft. The action was a precaution, and no known threat existed to the aircraft.
A commercial passenger jet carrying cargo from Yemen was escorted from the Canadian border to New York City by two military fighter jets, U.S. officials said. The officials said there is no known threat associated with the plane.
UPS and FedEx have suspended all packages from Yemen.

In response SSL/TSL attacks brought about by vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed and POODLE, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has provided administrators with a new version of its best current practice (BCP) guide on secure encryption of data in motion. Key advice to be gleaned from the rules laid down in RFC 7525 is as follows: support TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2, never ever allow devices to negotiate sessions using TLS 1, TLS 1.1, SSL v2 or SSL v3, and deploy TLS 1.3 as soon as possible.
Following a detailed account of the state of encryption, the RFC authors Yaron Sheffer, Ralph Holz and Peter Saint-Andre provide hands-on recommendations for the secure use of TLS and its cousin DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security). The text combines viable best practices with constant references to the aim of improving a sometimes frustrating encryption reality, which makes it a valuable tool for users who implement encryption on web servers and client systems.
Other standards that appear to be equally outdated, such as 3DES for encryption or RSA for key exchange, didn't quite make it to the hit list – at least not yet. While Sheffer et al. flatly advise against using them, it remains to be seen whether their "should not" verdict is a strong enough motivation for both software vendors and security specialists to follow suit. The same goes for the numerous positive recommendations found in RFC 7525. For example, the authors endorse the use of cipher suites that allow for implementing strict forward secrecy and even suggest a selection of suites every endpoint in a TLS connection should understand – namely TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256; TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256; TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384; and TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384).
For more details, please refer to the original document. Information about the upcoming TLS 1.3 standard is available directly from the IETF website; the latest draft, edited by the TLS Working Group and submitted on May 24, can be found at GitHub.

Q: using regex for searching strings in VS2010 Hi I have been trying to search a string pattern in Visual Studio 2010 using regex. The string pattern is something like "abc[somevar].ppfunc"
Now "abc" and "ppfunc" are fixed terms but "somevar" could be any string of any length. For example: it could be abc[xyz].ppfunc or abc[ghid].ppfunc or abc[blah].ppfunc
What wild card should I use in place of "somevar" so that search results should contain all possible words present in the code.
I tried abc[].ppfunc  and abc[.].ppfunc (in Find and replace box of VS) but it didn't work.
any quick suggestions ?

A: You need to use the regex based find and replace feature of VS2010, as documented here.
To do so, ensure that regex expressions are enabled:

To enable regular expressions, expand Find options in the Find and Replace window, select Use, and then select Regular expressions. The triangular Expression Builder buttons next to the Find what and Replace with fields become available.

And then construct a regex that matches what you want to replace.

Mythos was a multiplayer role-playing video game that was originally under development by Flagship Studios Seattle, a subdivision of Flagship Studios, a video game company composed largely of ex-Blizzard North employees who were lead producers of the Diablo series. Due to financial issues at Flagship Studios, Flagship Seattle was subsequently dissolved, leaving the intellectual property rights in the hands of the Korean game company HanbitSoft.  HanbitSoft's corporate partners will continue to develop Mythos for a planned release in South Korea and North America.

Mythos is similar in style to Diablo, utilizing a similar interface and perspective, extensive map and item randomization, and a high fantasy setting. Its development was led by Travis Baldree, creator of the action RPG FATE, now a co-founder of Runic Games.

Development history

Flagship Studios (2006-mid-2008)
Originally codenamed "Project Tugboat," the game started as a networking technology test for Flagship Studios' multiplayer game Hellgate: London.  By late 2006, the test project had grown into an independent game scheduled for a separate release. Its development was led by Travis Baldree and a newly formed Seattle offshoot of Flagship which remained largely separate from the development of Hellgate. Mythos was built upon the same core engine and technology that Hellgate: London used.

Starting in 2007, the game had been in an ongoing closed beta testing stage, with an open beta expected in mid-2008. However, on 19 July 2008 it was announced that due to continuing financial hardships at Flagship Studios, Mythos would be going on hiatus, and the beta closed shortly thereafter. The company laid off most of its employees, and the development of Mythos was suspended. Almost immediately after Flagship's closing, the entire Flagship Seattle team responsible for Mythos (consisting of 14 people including lead designer Travis Baldree and executive producer Max Schaefer) formed Runic Games and began development of a new game named Torchlight.

Hanbitsoft (mid-2008-2014)
The intellectual property and game assets of Mythos moved into the ownership of South Korean MMO publisher HanbitSoft. In May 2009, Hanbitsoft released a statement on its Korean-language website revealing that parent company T3 Entertainment and T3's subsidiary Redbana are continuing development of Mythos. Included on the site is a message from a designer identified as "Alboos" who states that they are restructuring Mythos to make it "more suited as an online game." In August 2009, Redbana/T3 launched an English-language Mythos website with a closed beta registration form. On 1 December 2009, Redbana began occasional daily updates via  the Mythos "teaser" website. On 1 April 2011, Mythos began sending out closed beta keys, on 12 April 2011, Mythos began the open beta. While the planned release date is 28 April 2011, those who purchased the box version will get a 2-day head-start which will start 26 April 2011.

On 19 October 2011, Frogster announced they would discontinue the game in Europe. Those servers officially closed 27 October 2011.

On 2 February 2012, T3 launched the open beta test for Mythos Global. Mythos Global was operated for less than two years; the servers were shut down 22 January 2014.

This is the Hahnville On The Prowl Show for October 25, 2016. In this week's show Hahnville Head Football Coach Nick Saltaformaggio discusses his team's week eight win over the Central Lafourche Trojans. Coach Saltaformaggio also looks ahead to this week's game versus the H.L. Bourgeois Braves.
And at the close of the show we end with the 2016 Hahnville Homecoming Court Presentation.


Over the years I have been lucky enough to shoot as some pretty incredible wedding venues from the likes of Hampton Court Palace, the Dorchester, Blenheim Palace and of course Sudeley Castle.
Although it's a massive privilege to shoot at such incredible places it often comes with high expectation and pressure on me... This pressure I always feel, if I didn't I probably should put down the camera. However, for Mark and Yvonne's wedding the pressure was super high.
When I arrived at Sudeley it was quite possibly the worst weather I have seen in a decade. I have only a few times in my life seen rain as heavy. I had also not met Yvonne or Mark before the day, but via previous correspondence I know they wanted more family and portraits than are the norm. Always tricky in the rain and more so as I was only there for a few hours.
In really bad weather like this black and white is king... I have posted a few of my faves below.

Neil Woodford has just bought these 3 FTSE 100 stocks for his Equity Income Fund
Edward Sheldon, CFA | Monday, 2nd September, 2019
Since the suspension of his Equity Income fund in early June, Neil Woodford has been in the process of repositioning the portfolio. The portfolio manager has been selling out of the smaller, early-stage companies that were in the fund, many of which were unlisted, and reinvesting the proceeds into more liquid FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies.
After the release of the Equity Income fund's half-year report recently, we can now see some of the FTSE 100 names that Woodford has been buying. According to the report, he spent £145m on three new FTSE 100 companies for his portfolio in the first half of the year – International Consolidated Airlines, BT Group, and British American Tobacco.
Now, while Woodford's recent performance has been abysmal, he does have a good long-term track record when it comes to investing in large-cap companies. With that in mind, should investors follow him into these stocks?
Value approach
These purchases suggest that Woodford is sticking with his value-oriented, contrarian approach to investing. All three stocks are out of favour with investors and are trading at low valuations. Just look at the forward-looking P/E ratios of these three companies:
International Consolidated Airlines: 4.1
BT Group: 6.9
British American Tobacco: 9.1
All three trade way below the FTSE 100 median forward P/E ratio of 13.3. If investor sentiment towards these companies improves, Woodford could enjoy considerable gains.
Risky picks
That said, my issue with these three FTSE 100 stocks is that I see all of them as quite risky. All three are out of favour with investors for a reason.
Consider International Consolidated Airlines, the owner of British Airways. Not only is it facing Brexit uncertainty and strong competition from low-cost rivals, but the company is also dealing with issues such as staff strikes, IT problems, drone disruptions, and rising fuel costs. My colleague Roland Head believes profits could nosedive if market conditions worsen.
The outlook for British American Tobacco looks highly uncertain too. Not only are smoking rates declining across the world, but US regulators want to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes, which could hit the company's profits significantly. Additionally, there are also now concerns about the safety of e-cigarettes. Furthermore, a mega-merger in the US between tobacco giants Philip Morris International and Altria announced last week also adds uncertainty for BATS.
As for BT, to my mind, it's a great example of a 'low-quality' stock. Revenues are falling, debt is high, the pension deficit is huge, and the dividend looks unsustainable. It's not a stock I have any interest in owning.
Better stocks to buy
Given the uncertain outlook that each of these companies faces, I'd hold off on buying them, despite their low valuations and high dividend yields. All things considered, I think there are much better stocks to buy in the FTSE 100 right now.

NF-A12x25: interview with Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO)
Interview with Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO) about the development of the NF-A12x25 fan
Noctua-News: How long did it take to develop the NF-A12x25 fan? What makes it so special for Noctua?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): The NF-A12x25 has been our longest and most complicated fan development project ever. It has taken us more than 4 years to complete and prompted us to step up our game both in R&D and manufacturing. In order to overcome the various challenges in design and manufacturing, we have significantly expanded our methodologies. For example, we are now using additional state-of-the-art measurement technology, have established a completely new measurement protocol and have developed the new Sterrox® liquid-crystal polymer compound. All of this and all the knowledge gained throughout the project will also contribute to other projects, so we're not only excited to finally have this fan on the market but we're also psyched with the new perspectives we've gained for future developments.
Noctua-News: This sounds exciting. Can you give us more details or examples regarding the new R&D tools?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): For example, we've recently started using a new acoustic imaging device that allows us to map noise to images. This way, we can actually see where each type of noise originates from on the fan blades and on the fan frame. This has proven particularly helpful for fine-tuning the design for a frequency spectrum that sounds as pleasant as possible to the human ear. Now that we can directly visualise where undesired tonal frequency spikes are being caused, it's much easier to tackle them on a design level. We've also started using laser Doppler vibrometers for contactless vibration measurement. This has turned out to be a key factor in tackling minute blade surface mode vibrations that can cause undesired resonance noises. It's very hard to measure these things with traditional sensors because when you put them on the fan blades, the mass of the sensors will influence the way the blades respond to vibrations, so you will end up with skewed results. By contrast, the new contactless laser measurements allow us to work on a micro-level that would have been completely obscured by the mass of traditional vibration sensors in the past, so we can do much more fine-tuning on this front now.
Noctua-News: When you look at the airflow, pressure and noise specifications of the NF-A12x25, it seems that it covers the middle ground between the pressure-optimised NF-F12 and the airflow-optimised NF-S12A. Is this correct? Will all three fans remain in the line-up?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): It's natural to get this impression when looking at the specifications, but it's not entirely correct. It's true that at similar free flow sound pressure levels, the NF-F12 features a higher maximum pressure specification and the NF-S12A features a higher maximum airflow specification than the NF-A12x25. However, you have to take into consideration what these specifications actually mean and that they only have a very limited relevance for real-world applications. Simplifying things a bit, you can imagine the maximum pressure measurement as a situation where a fan is put blowing against a closed wall and the maximum airflow measurement as a situation where the fan is operating in completely free air rather than blowing onto or into something. Neither of the two situations commonly occurs in real-world applications where you usually have the fan working against some resistance, but never 100% resistance or zero resistance. So first off, you actually have to look at the entire pressure vs airflow (P/Q) curve of the fan to get a rough idea about its performance, and if you do this with the NF-A12x25, you will see that while it doesn't excel at maximum pressure or airflow, it has an extremely strong mid section. This allows it to outperform both the NF-F12 and the NF-S12A in most typical applications. Secondly, you should keep in mind that the situation is similar with noise specifications: while they are given in a completely free flow scenario, what actually counts is how the fan sounds once you install it in your case, on your cooler or on your radiator and many users have had the experience that a fan that sounds nice in free flow can sound much more irritating on-application. This is why we spent a lot of extra time fine-tuning the NF-A12x25 for optimal on-application acoustics. So the bottom line of all this is that airflow, pressure and noise specifications only tell you so much and that in most applications, you will see superior results with the new NF-A12x25 as compared to NF-F12 and NF-S12A.
Noctua-News: So will all three fans remain in the line-up?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): Yes. Although we're confident that NF-A12x25 is the best choice for virtually any application, NF-F12 and NF-S12A are still excellent, proven fans and will remain in the line-up. Tens of thousands of users are very satisfied with these models and probably want to keep buying them. Also, while we're positive that the NF-A12x25 is our best 120mm fan to date, it is also the most expensive. Unfortunately, our novel Sterrox® material used for the impeller is roughly four times more expensive than the fibre-glass reinforced PBT that we use for fans like the NF-F12 or NF-S12A. The NF-A12x25 also features a steel reinforced motor hub and extra brass reinforcements on the axis; plus manufacturing is more expensive due to the much tighter tolerances. Unfortunately all these measures add up to the production cost.
Noctua-News: Could you explain why it was necessary to take all these extra steps for the NF-A12x25?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): Put in a nutshell, all this is necessary because we have chosen an extremely narrow tip clearance and the phenomenon called impeller creep: whereas the distance between the blade tips and the frame is above 1mm for most 120mm fans, we went for 0.5 with the NF-A12x25. Due to the centrifugal forces and tensions inside the plastics, fans will become slightly larger over years of usage. While this isn't a problem as long as the gap between the frame and the blades is big enough, it's highly critical when you go for such a small tip clearance and this is why we need much, much more precision when manufacturing the NF-A12x25. Any minute amount of creep, deformation or imbalance would be fatal.
Noctua-News: What's the point of using such a small tip clearance? Is it really worth the extra effort?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): *laughs* Well, it has taken us more than one year just to sort out the manufacturing issues, so there were times when we were wondering if it's actually worth the extra effort, but at Noctua, we always strive to push the boundaries and deliver the best solution that's technically possible. We're confident that our customers appreciate this and that's what's justifying the effort for us in the end. Technically speaking, the reason why you want to go for such a tight tip clearance is that when the fan operates against back pressure, such as on a heatsink or radiator, some air will flow back through the gap between the blades and the frame. The smaller the gap, the less of this type of leak flow you have, so narrowing down the gap helps a great deal in achieving superior performance on heatsinks and radiators.
Noctua-News: The NF-A12x25 looks completely different than any previous Noctua 120mm fan. Why is this the case and how does the basic design approach compare to popular models like the NF-F12 or NF-S12A?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): Yes, we have taken a completely different approach with the NF-A12x25. We've opted for a nine-blade design with strong curvature and sweep. The basic blade geometry builds on the insights we've gained with the other A-series models and, like with them, the goal was to achieve exceptional quiet cooling performance in just about any given application, regardless of whether it's in a PC case or on a radiator. The NF-F12 and the NF-S12A, by contrast, are very specifically focused towards either high static pressure for radiators and heatsinks in the case of the NF-F12 or maximum airflow for chassis ventilation in the case of the NF-S12A. They are very dedicated solutions whereas the NF-A12x25, like the other A-series models, is a true all-rounder. This doesn't mean that it's a compromise though, quite the contrary. Thanks to all our latest technologies, the NF-A12x25 actually outperforms the NF-F12 on radiators by a healthy margin and performs at least as well as the NF-S12A when used as a case fan.
Noctua-News: When the NF-A12x25 was shown at the Noctua booth at Computex 2017, some visitors had the impression that, at first sight, it looks quite similar to some competitors' products such as the Nidec Gentle Typhoon. Can you comment on that?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): There are similarities to other fans as far as the basic approach of using a strongly curved and swept nine-blade design is concerned and this indeed makes them look somewhat similar at first sight. That's quite natural because this basic approach is one of the most promising, proven starting points if you want to develop a high-performance 120x25mm form factor fan that is meant to achieve a strong, stable P/Q curve. If you look at it in more detail though, the similarities quickly come to an end and it becomes clear that the NF-A12x25 is significantly different from any other fan on the market as far as key factors such as the specific blade geometry and profile, chord length and changes in curvature are concerned. Once you map 3D CAD files of the NF-A12x25 over those of e.g. the Nidec Gentle Typhoon, this becomes immediately obvious. In detail, the blade design is completely different and these details are precisely the points that require so much R&D work to get right and to fine-tune for maximum efficiency. You can think of aeroplanes for reference: an Airbus 380 might look quite similar to a Boeing 747 to laymen at first sight and they are indeed similar in many ways (low wing design, swept blades, 4 jet engines, fuselage-mounted tailplane, etc.) for the natural reason that they have been designed for a similar purpose, but as soon as you start comparing in more detail, you will see how different the particular engineering choices have been. It's similar with the NF-A12x25: it may look similar to other fans at first sight, but it's a completely new design from the ground up.
Noctua-News: Have you analysed how the NF-A12x25 performs in comparison to other fans that look similar at first sight?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): Whenever we develop a new fan, our goal is to provide the best performance-to-noise efficiency on the market, so we inevitably have to take a close look at what the market has to offer. The results actually reinforce the point I have just made: there are several models from different manufacturers that look quite similar at first sight, but there are vast differences in performance. This is because it's the details and the fine-tuning of these details that make a good fan, not just the basic design approach. Of all the fans that could be considered looking similar to the NF-A12x25, the Nidec Gentle Typhoon proved to be the hardest competition, but we're confident that our design is slightly superior. In our tests on a typical 2 inch all-in-one water cooler at 200W heatload with both fans adjusted to the same noise level, the NF-A12x25 with the supplied radiator gasket provided about 0.3 to 0.6°C lower temperatures than the Nidec depending on the speed settings. At the same time, our premium grade SSO2 bearing runs virtually inaudibly whereas the Nidec's ball bearing produces an unpleasant tone that becomes clearly audible at lower fan speeds. Last but not least, unlike the NF-A12x25 with its integrated silicone pads and gasket, the Nidec doesn't have an anti-vibration mounting and thus transmits vibrations and resonances to the radiator and case. All things considered, we're confident that the NF-A12x25 is the best 120mm fan currently available.
Noctua-News: In addition to the different blade design, it seems that the NF-A12x25 has a slightly different shade of brown and a different surface texture as compared to other Noctua fans. What's the reason for this?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): Yes, the texture you can see on the impeller is the glass fibre reinforced crystal structure of the Sterrox® LCP material. The new material is very difficult to colour in general and the reinforced crystal structure will always shine through a bit, so it appears a bit more textured as compared to the smooth colour of our PBT- or PA-based fans. Adding colour particles changes the physical properties of the material and, as I've already explained, we need extreme precision for manufacturing the NF-A12x25, so our possibilities for colouring are somewhat limited. The colour we went for in the end is what gave us the best results from the technical side while still being easily recognisable as a Noctua fan. It's slightly different compared to our usual shade of brown, but in the end we think it's actually nice that users can immediately see that this is a novel, different material. In a way, this helps to visualise all the research and effort that went into making this fan.
Noctua-News: One more thing that appears slightly different with the NF-A12x25 is the Inner Surface Microstructures. They seem to be much smaller as compared to previous models. Is there a particular reason for this?
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): Yes, this is correct. Due to the tip clearance being so much smaller on the NF-A12x25, we only need a much thinner boundary layer on the inside of the frame to achieve the desired aerodynamic effect of the blade tips moving within this boundary layer in order to reduce vortex shedding from the tips of the blades. This is why the Inner Surface Microstructures are smaller with the NF-A12x25.
Noctua-News:: Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions.
Lars Strömbäck (Noctua CTO): You're welcome, it's been my pleasure.

From African safaris and historic trails to beachside getaways and even Disneyland, your options aren't as limited as you think.
What good are 10 consecutive days off if you spend them in Cairo? We're coming up on Easter (Sham el Nessim) in just a few weeks and, if you play your cards right and bridge between the holidays, you could walk away with 10 consecutive days off using only a couple of your annual leave days. And while Siwa and Dahab are good options, perhaps it's time to consider going overseas. Yeah, the Egyptian passport isn't the strongest in the world, but it holds way more options than you could imagine. Fact is, not all doors are closed to us, and there are some pretty fascinating destinations out there just waiting for someone to saddle up and leave it all behind.
Words will never quite do justice to just how gorgeous Nepal is – it's one of those places where you really have to see it to believe it. Nepal is by far one of the best places to visit during Easter, especially if you're a summer person. Expect warmer climate in mornings, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees, and at nights it'll get a bit chilly with temp dropping to 15 or so. In any case, the weather is beautiful and you'll get to enjoy the wonderful scenery of mountains in the clear horizon.
The cool thing about Nepal is the fact that its visa is on arrival for Egyptians; all you have to do is fill out an application form once you arrive, and that's it. It might be better though to apply in advance, before leaving, to avoid getting stuck in long line at the airport; you'll find that their application process is fast. Either way, the Nepal Visa process is quite simple for Egyptians, which is usually our biggest obstacle before traveling.
Nepal is known for its wild nature and Buddhist and Sikh temples, all of which you can enjoy for little to no expenses. Your plan would be to land in Kathmandu, and then stay in any of the gorgeous hostels in the capital's heart and soul, Thamel, which literally cost for a week less than a night in Sharm el Sheikh in a 5-star hotel. The city has plenty of temples you could enjoy, where you'd get to learn a lot about religions and cultures in the country – The Monkey Temple is where you should start; it's in the capital and offers some great views of the city as well as Buddhist shrines, not to mention monkeys lying around the place. But where you really should spend most of your time at is Thamel, and explore this little gem's countless shops, bazars, and boutiques.
Then you need to head out to Pokhara, which is the most beautiful part of the country. A city overlooking a huge lake and mountain chains as high as you could see, Pokhara has much to offer, from paragliding to hiking mountains. They also have some really cool bars there like The Old Blues Bar, and a wonderful cinema atop a hill called Movie Garden, where you could catch a cool film under the starlight.
Indonesia is another country that does not require a visa from Egyptians. The weather in Indonesia is relatively good in April, which marks the transition between the wet and dry seasons. Temperatures are in the late 20s for the most part, but you should expect some humidity as well as sudden bursts of rainfall. Indonesia is gorgeous at any time of year, and its natural wonders are a treat to explore whenever you go.
You'll want to explore Bandung and walk among its gorgeous street and Dutch colonial era buildings, visit the volcano just outside the city, and experience the rich and diverse culture of the town and its people. It's around 150 km from Jakarta, and you can go spend a couple of days there after you're done exploring the capital with its weird mishmash of Arab, Chinese, Indian, and European culture and ethnicities.
Indonesia is basically thousands of islands, so you'll definitely find more than your fair share of beaches and natural scenery. But not all islands are the same; for instance, Padar Island has some of the most gorgeous views you could find anywhere in the world. Komodo island is home to the huge Komodo dragon lizard, which is the biggest on earth, and also has some very cool sights. Gili islands is also worth mentioning just for their white sandy beaches and gorgeous reefs.
After spending almost 150 years under British mandate, Hong Kong was returned to China in the late nineties and has been a self-autonomous region ever since then. While China does require Egyptians to have a visa to gain access, fortunately Hong Kong does not. Egyptian nationals may enter the country without a visa and stay for a period of up to three months. Hong Kong is one of the most popular tourist spots in the world, due to its unique blend of civilizations; it's basically east meets west all in one place. The city has the highest number of skyscrapers in the world, and one of the most advanced transportation networks ever made by man, yet somehow you still feel and see the traditional Chinese culture all over.
There are plenty of things to do there starting with simply walking down the streets and exploring the cultural roller coaster that is Hong Kong, and don't forget to thoroughly go through the Street Market for all the shopping and souvenir mania going on there. Still, there are a few must-dos whenever you find yourself there, starting with the Star Ferry, which takes you between the massive skyscrapers as you get a once in a lifetime view of Hong Kong from the sea – some recommend you take it at night to witness the Symphony at Lights Show, which is considered to be the world's largest permanent lights and sound show. After that, you could make a visit to Victoria Peak for a glimpse of Hong Kong from the highest point on the entire island.
It's worth mentioning that Hong Kong has its fair share of parks, gardens, museums, and everything else that might interest a curious traveler. Did I mention they have their very own Hong Kong Disneyland? There's also Ocean Park, which is considered to be the region's best theme park, with everything from exotic rides to wild animals.
Like Indonesia, Egyptians don't need a visa to enter Malaysia. Some say the best time to visit the country is between April and October, when the weather is at its driest, because after that you can expect heavy and frequent rainfall. Like its Asian counterparts, you can expect to find breathtaking nature in Malaysia and plenty of gorgeous scenery. Langkawi island is known for its gorgeous beaches, sunny weather, and duty-free markets where you can buy whatever souvenirs you want for cheaper prices; the island suits both honeymooners and adventurers alike as it caters to both their needs. Penang is another island in Malaysia where you could enjoy gorgeous scenery, but it's a bit more of a metropolitan than Langkawi, though that's not a bad thing because you get the best of both worlds.
Formerly colonized by the Portuguese, Malacca offers one of the most unique cultural and historical experiences you could have in Malaysia. You'll find unique architecture, museums, art galleries, and so many more interesting things that would cater to a curios traveler. Because of the city's rich history and cultural backgrounds, many museums have been built to preserve these historic sites, like Orang Asli Museum which showcases the history of indigenous Orang Asli people and Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, which is centered around the history and cultural background of ethnic Chinese-Malays. Other than the museums and galleries Malacca is full of, it also has something to offer nature lovers; Ayer Keroh Lake, Bukit Batu Lebah Recreational Forest, and Garden of a Thousand Flowers are just some of the few places where you could go to enjoy some nature and serenity in Malacca.
Don't leave before you get to enjoy the beauty that is Kuala Lumpur; the city is a metropolitan masterpiece that is anything but devoid of beauty and nature. If it's postmodern architectural wonders like The Petronas Towers you're after, you'll find that, and if you're looking for nature and beauty, you can find them in the natural parks and gorgeous scenery the city is full of. Kuala Lumpur also has a very active nightlife with clubs and bars staying up all night for the party animals, most notably Zouk Club, and there's also the experience of fine dining in a place like Marini's on 57, which is possibly the country's most notorious rooftop bar and Italian restaurant where you could enjoy fine meals and drinks with a view overlooking the Petronas Towers. For a more exotic trip around the capital, visit Batu Caves in Selangor, which are a very unique set of caves and temples.
Lebanon's visa on arrival is pretty easy to get, and its weather is perfect for an April trip. There's so much to be said about and experienced in a country like Lebanon; its rich history is violent at times as it is beautiful and rich at others. Going on a trip to Lebanon ensure an engrossing ride that will see you explore the country's turbulent history, and enjoy its present beauty and serenity, not to mention coolest nightlife in the region! Beirut alone is worth the ticket, for all its bars, museums, parks, and so much more. When in the capital, going to a live music venue is a must, for they are plenty and each offering a different type of music to enjoy at nights; you could be listening to jazz in on night and rock the next, and the choice is all yours. Whether it's in Mar Mikhael or Hamra, Beirut bars are something to behold, each with a different theme and awesome cocktails; Abbey Road, Anise, Coop D'etat, and Bar ThreeSixty are just some of the cool bars you could spend the night at.
Beirut also offers plenty for the culture and history buff, with museums covering a variety of topics, from the history of money in the world - Banque Du Liban Museum - to one of the most significant collections of minerals in the world at the Mim Museum.
The beauty of Lebanon is that there's much more to do beyond Beirut, and plenty can be even made through a day trip from there. Whether it's Batroun –- one of the oldest cities in the world –– or Baalbek with all its gorgeous ancient Roman temples and ruins, not a day will go wasted in Lebanon. Rio Lento and Arnaoon Village make excellent family trips from Beirut; both are basically adventure getaways where you can enjoy a variety of activities like swimming, water games, zip-lining, climbing, and other fun stuff.
If you find yourself in Lebanon come winter instead, do yourself a favor and go ski on the sloper of Mount Lebanon; Mzaar Kfardebian, the country's biggest and most well known ski resort, is where you'll want to go for a skiing experience you'll not soon be forgetting.
One of the oldest countries in the world, Jordan has seen waves upon waves of foreign civilizations over the years. Yet, somehow Jordan had retained its identity and core beliefs, something you'll notice when and if you're fortunate enough to go there. There is no visa for Egyptians, but you have to go by air not by boat. There's also the advantage of the fact that the best time to visit Jordan is between March and May, where the weather is at its fairest.
The best way to truly experience the country would be to go on its biggest and most important hiking route, the Jordan Trail. It takes you across over 650 km of the country's most beautiful landscapes and vistas, and its most treasured monuments and historic sites. You'll visit the city of Petra with all its hidden treasures and majestic view, you'll plough through Wadi Rum and know what it's like to live as a Bedouin nomad as you experience their cultures and habits, and if you're brave enough maybe you'll have a swim in Aqaba and the Dead Sea. You don't need to take the entire trail though; it's divided into shorter bouts, from which you can choose what you want. There's also the Dana Biosphere Reserve along the trail, which is a cluster of natural beauty and gorgeous scenery you will not want to miss; you can stay at Feynan Ecolodge there and experience the locals' traditions and hospitality. Then there's Ajloun where history and nature collide in this ancient city that has seen much events during the crusades, as evident by the historic castle there. There's even a biking route along the Jordan Trail, if walking/hiking isn't really your thing and you're more into cycling.
The capital Amman does have its hidden gems as well; Rainbow Street is one of the coolest ones in the country, where you'll find plenty of shops, restaurants, companies, and some historic sites like Al-Mufti House. If you're in the mood for some authentic ta3meya, Falafel hashem is the place to visit. Speaking of food, Weibdeh is full of restaurants offering ethnic meals you'll not want to miss.
When Egyptians think about traveling and exploring the great beyond, they seldom consider African countries as a destination for a visit, despite the fact that some African countries have some of the most gorgeous scenery you could ever set eyes on. Tanzania is one of those examples, with natural parks filled with wild and exotic animals, breathtaking beaches, and plains as far as the eyes could see. The country is wet during April, but the weather is still mild and enjoyable to experience the country's natural wealth. For Egyptians, you can acquire an e-visa or a visa on arrival.
Tanzania is filled with natural parks, like Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks, where safaris are daily for tourists to explore the vast field filled with wild animals, from lions to rhinos. The country also has its fair share of natural reserves like Ngorongoro Conservation Area which is home to a volcanic caldera and some gorgeous gorges. The beaches of Tanzania can't be done justice by mere words, and suffice to say Zanzibar is part of the country, which is one of the most famous honeymoon and tourist spots in Africa, for its beautiful beaches and wonderful scenery. Divers, amateurs and professionals alike, would also love Zanzibar for its unique dive sites and colorful waters.
In case you didn't already know, Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, and it's the highest mountain in Africa. Some people make the mistake of assuming it's an easy hike just because it's about half the altitude of Everest, but they're gravely mistaken. While Kilimanjaro is a must for climbing enthusiasts, it's far from an easy climb. Nontheless, it's a worthy one that could change your life forever, if you're up for the challenge.
Exploring the culture of the locals is one of the most interesting experiences you could have in Tanzania, for their customs and traditions are as rich as they are different from what you're normally used to. The best way to do so is visiting a local village and staying for a while to get to know the people and the customs; Iraqw Village, for example, is known for opening its doors to tourists where they could learn about the customs, language, and all about the habits and way of life of the locals.
If you've seen the animated film by the same name, then you probably have a pretty good idea on how gorgeous this country can be. True, you won't find many talking lions and zebras, but there's plenty of fascinating animals and wildlife to keep you well interested, like lemurs –– which exist nowhere else. Madagascar has rain forests the likes of which you see only in movies, and it also has some gorgeous beaches and reefs. Egyptians can obtain visa on arrival for Madagascar and stay for up to 90 days.
The capital Antananarivo is quite an interesting place with a very rich historical background that would sure please history buffs; Ambohimanga hill offers a lot of insight into the cultural identity of the indigenous Merina people and their kingdom past. You can also visit Le Royal Palace which served as home for the rulers of the Kindgom of Madagascar, hundreds of years ago. If you're looking for something out of the box, Pirates Museum offers real and replica artefacts about the history of piracy in the region; bet you didn't see that one before! The city's architecture is wonderful, mixing the ethnic culture with the country's colonial background. You'll also want to explore the rain forests of the country , which can be quite an exciting experience and it's like nothing you've ever seen before.
Madagascar has some exquisite parks like Parc Tsarasaotra, Andasibe-Mantadia National Park which is home to indri lemur - known for their unique loud song - and various other fauna/flora, and Isalo National Park which offers some breathtaking rock formation, canyons, and natural pools, to name a few.
Admiring the beauty and majesty of Baobab trees is something some people go specifically to Tanzania for, and their roots in African folklore are another thing to admire. And while you're doing that, don't forget to visit the stone forests.
Tourists also enjoy swimming with the sharks in the country's beautiful waters, and you can also just go scuba diving for the fun of it.

China Won't Share Its Samples of a Deadly Flu Virus. Here's Why That's a Problem.
By Rachael Rettner

To protect people against the next flu pandemic, scientists need to know what flu strains are circulating and how they are changing. But such efforts can be stymied if countries don't share flu samples, and now, the Chinese government appears to be withholding samples of the dangerous bird flu virus H7N9 from the United States, according to news reports.
For more than a year, China has not provided samples of H7N9 to the United States, despite persistent requests from officials and research institutions, according to The New York Times.
Experts say samples of H7N9 are needed to develop vaccines against the virus and treatments for it.
"Jeopardizing U.S. access to foreign pathogens and therapies to counter them undermines our nation's ability to protect against infections which can spread globally within days," Dr. Michael Callahan, an infectious-disease specialist at Harvard Medical School, told The New York Times.
A new strain of H7N9 first appeared in China in 2013, and it has caused infections in both humans and animals. This virus is concerning because most people who develop infections with it become severely ill, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Indeed, the virus has a 40-percent fatality rate, The New York Times reported. But so far, the virus doesn't appear to spread easily between people; most human infections were in people who'd had contact with live poultry or visited markets where the birds were sold.
In 2016 to 2017, China experienced a spike in human cases of H7N9, with 766 cases reported. In light of this recent outbreak, U.S. scientists want to study the virus's evolution. But this means they need access to flu samples from China.
"Given that this flu virus is a potential threat to humanity, not sharing it immediately with the global network of WHO laboratories, like CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], is scandalous," Andrew C. Weber, former assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs under the Obama administration, told the New York Times. "Many could die needlessly if China denies international access to samples."
Although Chinese officials originally provided timely information about H7N9 when the virus first appeared in 2013, communication on the topic has gradually worsened, with the country also refusing to share data from human patients infected with the virus, The New York Times reported.

Minnesota Bishop Hoeppner Under Investigation
September 11, 2019 by Peter
Bishop Michael Hoeppner is the first sitting U.S. bishop to be investigated under new misconduct protocols introduced by Pope Francis earlier this year.
Hoeppner, Bishop of Crookston, Minnesota, will be investigated by Minneapolis' Archbishop Bernard Hebda, on charges that Hoeppner thwarted a police or canonical investigation of clerical sexual misconduct in his diocese.
"I have been authorized by the Congregation for Bishops to commence an investigation into allegations that the Most Reverend Michael Hoeppner, the Bishop of Crookston, carried out acts or omissions intended to interfere with or avoid civil or canonical investigations of clerical sexual misconduct in the Diocese of Crookston," Hebda told CNA Sept. 10.
"Law enforcement has been notified of the allegations. The allegations were reported to me under the procedures set out in Pope Francis' recent legislation addressing bishop accountability, the motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi.

Jumma ist die Sammelbezeichnung der elf Stämme der Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesch.
Die beiden größten Stämme sind die Chakma und die Marma, die zusammen 350.000 Mitglieder zählen. Die Chakma und Marma sind Buddhisten. Andere Stämme sind Christen, Hindus oder praktizieren traditionelle Religionen. Da die Chittagong Hill Tracts sehr steil und zerklüftet sind, müssen die Jumma Wanderwirtschaft betreiben, um das Land bestmöglich nutzen zu können. Nach der Ernte ziehen sie weiter und erlauben dem Boden so, sich zu erholen. Die ortsübliche Bezeichnung für diese Art der Landwirtschaft ist Jhum, weshalb diese Stämme den Namen Jumma tragen. Der Stamm der Mru lebt entfernt von den anderen Stämmen auf den Berghöhen in Häusern auf hohen Stelzen.

Probleme
Der Staat Bangladesch ignoriert die Jumma mehr oder weniger vollständig. Er betrachtet die Chittagong Hill Tracts seit langem als ungenutztes Land, auf dem sie arme bengalische Familien ansiedeln kann. Zudem sind sie Übergriffen durch Angehörige des Militärs ausgesetzt. Seit Bangladesch im Jahre 1971 seine Unabhängigkeit erlangte, wurden in einem genozidalen Feldzug Angehörige der Jumma ermordet, gefoltert, vergewaltigt und ihre Siedlungen niedergebrannt. So wurden die Jumma in den letzten 40 Jahren zur Minderheit.
