The Enterprise of the Future Will Need Connected Big Data
Cloud Native / Data / Machine Learning / Microservices
7 Nov 2016 7:34am, by TC Currie
"We are entering the connected age," Emil Eifrem, Founder and CEO of Neo Technology, said in his keynote at the GraphConnect conference in San Francisco. The future "is highly, highly connected."
Oh, and he just happens to have an app for that.
In 2027, 75 percent of the companies currently on the S&P 500 will no longer be on the list. What will keep the 25 percent on the list? Data.
"Data is the new oil," Eifrem said, referencing a commodity that, along with railroads, made the millionaires of the Gilded Age. But it's not just data.
The human brain runs like a graph database, according to Eifrem.
While data in isolation is valuable, said Eifrem, "the ability to connect the data is extraordinarily valuable." The most powerful database on the planet: the human brain. Its neurons connect to other neurons through synapses. And that looks very much like a graph.
What's amazing, he said, is that the brain doesn't just store data; it makes sense of it.
It's hard to imagine now, he told the keynote audience of 1,200, but Google was the fifteenth search engine that came on the market back in the late 90s. What Google did differently, he explained, was to rank their search results; it took data core to its business and connected it.
Fundamentally, a database just stores retrieves data. But the future, declared Eifrem, belongs to those who can connect the data and make it instantly useful to decision-makers, whether they be customers seeing recommendations in real time, CEOs seeing at a glance how suppliers are performing, or the security experts seeing fraud that before was invisible.
A graph database is different from the standard relational database in that it is structured like the human brain, Eifrem,explained. It makes connections between the data that help you make sense of that data. "The fact that you can attach properties to the relationships sounds like a small thing, sounds like a simple thing, sounds like an obvious thing, but that is what makes the database expressive."
It's all about connection, according to Eifrem.
It is this sort of contextualizing of the data that is the future of the Connected Enterprise. "If you have an enterprise where all of your data is connected, your supply chain is connected to your CRM, that's connected to your marketing technologies, that is connected to your logistics, that is connected to your customers that is connected to your payment history, everything is directly or indirectly connected, that will be an extraordinarily powerful thing," Eifrem stated.
The companies who do this are the ones that will remain in the 25 percent.
But How Do We Get There from Here?
In a press event following the keynote, Eifrem declared that the idea of the "one size fits all" database is over. The interesting question that data architects are now trying to solve is: what it a good fit? Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) hold their data in silos, and connecting data across silos is complicated and messy.
Neo is seeing businesses holding on to their RDBMS with silos and adding graph databases to store the connections across the different RDBMSes.
Scott Grimes, who is the eCommerce and CMS senior director/architect at Marriott Hotels, described how this works when company policy mandates the use of specific databases (e.g. IBM or Oracle): Over time, they ended up with data 10 levels deep.
The hotel chain started using graph databases to manage the relationships between the siloed data. "Each node is almost like a row," Grimes explained, "so you can seamlessly follow that relationship with the data."
Data retrieval went from 30 seconds to 25 milliseconds.
The key, said Grimes, is making the relationship a "first-class citizen." Adding new relationships to a graph database is much easier than going into SQL database and establishing foreign keys throughout the system.
Indeed, the new clustering arch is designed for the cloud mindset, said Eifrem, where you have elastic things that are easy to set up and tear down as you scale up and down.
Oh, BTW, Hardware Is Now Sexy
The bad news from the hardware side, said Balog, is Moore's Law is dead, asserted Doug Balog, GM IBM Power Systems, during his keynote talk. Adding new hardware will no longer double capacity. Instead, Balog sees acceleration technology as the bringing the next generation of performance improvements, which is why IBM is working with Neo to use graph databases to improve acceleration on IBM's Power chips.
"I disrupted myself in hardware," he said. It's no longer just about scale, he declared, it's about how to take advantage of that acceleration to rapidly drive insights. There is incredible tech disruption on the lowest level of the stack.
"Hardware," Balog declared, "is an exciting place to be."
Micro vs. Monolith
What is the difference between setting up a graph database in a microservices environment, as opposed to a monolith? The short answer, said Eifrem, is none, technically speaking.
The more nuanced answer is to view microservices as an accelerator or enabler. You are no longer forced to choose exact same data model for each piece of the backend, he clarified. The architecture is much more agile. For example, you can put your products in a graph database, so your customers have access to real-time recommendations, and put finances in a tabular database.
The open question is if there really is less complexity with big microservice-based architecture at scale. Very few companies have done this (aside from Netflix), so it's not clear yet. At scale, there are a lot more run-time dependencies that need to be managed as opposed to the more statistic run-time dependencies found in the more monolithic structures. Time will tell.
What is clear, at least to Eifrem, is that at scale, a graph is needed in order to make sense of the architecture. The next generation of startups, he told us, are using Neo4j to manage the dependencies out of the gate.
Doug Balog, GM IBM Power Systems at the GraphConnect 2016 Keynote
Graph databases can also support of machine learning. Balog posited that machine learning is going to get so much better when we start focusing on the relationships instead of the data itself
It's easy to move from data that's in a graph to machine learning, said Eifrem. "Of course," he said, "I drink my own Kool-Aid."
Even so, it makes sense that a graph database, which mimics the structure of the human brain, would be a great contribution to machine learning. Because it's the interaction between objects that is critical in machine learning.
Balog pointed out a stumbling block in self-driving cars is the need for a contextual understanding of objects, which is dependent, in part at least, on the relationship between things. For example, it's easy to put a tree in as a database object, but one also needs to identify the characteristics of the tree, i.e., that it is stationary and will not jump out in front of the car. And if you're headed straight towards it, it will not jump out of your way.
Ah Yes, But How Do You Convert the C-suite?
A typical CEO reaction
Most companies will stay with their relational databases until the pain is so huge they finally realize another solution is needed, Eifrem acknowledged.
A lot of companies are scaling up and moving into levels of data thought impossible a few years ago. For example, the optimal limit of joins in SQL is three, which is rapidly becoming outmoded.
Marriott didn't start looking for a new solution until the data got 10 levels deep, said Grimes. But the faster processing speeds were a key factor in the ROI and getting the go-ahead. Now the development team can't imagine doing the work without the Neo4j.
Balog said that companies can no longer use the old manufacturing approach of throwing hardware at the problem. Programming and new software are required to see a forward movement to efficiencies.
The advantage is the simplicity of Graph databases and the reduced time to market, he said, pointing out that you can get a full Neo4j instance running in production in a matter of weeks.
There are three avenues of open source contribution if you want to be part of Neo's connected future.
The source code for Neo4J is open source, Neo has built an open repository for NEO4J procedures called APOC. APOC currently has over 200 procedures. Eifrem said that while this is a great way for the community to contribute procedures, it also provides the basis for new features built into future releases of the core product. For example, the feature released last week that allows you to add schema to your graphs started out in APOC.
Neo's next big project is extremely ambitious. OpenCypher is a community-based project whose goal is to create free and open, vendor-neutral language for graphs (think of it as SQL for graphs, said Eifrem). Launched a year ago, it is Apache licensed and based on Cypher, which has been around a long time.

Top 150 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2019: #87. Gareth Jones – Agnieszka Holland
Through the Looking Glass: Top 10 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2024
Nicholas Bell
Director Agnieszka Holland returns to English language filmmaking with her latest, Gareth Jones, a British-Polish-Ukrainian co-production. The ever busy Holland, who has worked on multiple television projects over the past decade, hasn't presented an English language feature since 2006's Copying Beethoven. Her latest is produced by the film's scribe Andrea Serdaru-Barbul along with Klaudia Smieja and Stanislaw Dziedzic of Film Produkcja, Angus Lamont of Crab Apple Films, and Egor Olesov of Kinorob. James Norton stars as Jones, with a supporting cast including Peter Sarsgaard, Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Mawle. Polish DP Tomasz Naumiuk (recently of Claire Denis' High Life) lensed the film. Holland is perhaps best known for a handful of Academy Award nominated titles, including 1990's Europa Europa (nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay), 1985's Angry Harvest (the West German entry for Best Foreign Language Film) and 2011's In Darkness (Poland's entry for Best Foreign Language Film), as well as a string of English language films in the 1990s, including The Secret Garden (1992) with Maggie Smith and Total Eclipse (1995) starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Holland competed twice in Venice, with 1992's Olivier, Olivier and 2002's Just Walking Home. In Berlin, Holland has also competed twice, with 1981's Goraczka (History of One Bullett) and 2017's Spoor (read review), which won her the Alfred Bauer Award.
Gist: Serdaru-Barbul's screenplay documents the travails of the titular Welsh journalist who set off to Moscow to interview Joseph Stalin and was tipped off by fellow reported Ada Brooks about oppressive Soviet policies towards the Ukraine, which allowed him to follow a trail which would lead him to witness the Holodomor. Upon reporting on the atrocity in the UK, Jones is contested by Moscow correspondent Walter Duranty. Jones' crusade also leads him to George Orwell, which lead the famed author to pen the seminal Animal Farm.
Release Date/Prediction: Holland completed filming on Gareth Jones in May of 2018 after three distinct periods/locations in Poland, Ukraine, and the UK. Timing would suggest she be invited back to Berlin for her third time in competition.

DALLAS — During his budget address Tuesday, Gov. Tom Wolf touted the Ruth Matthews Bourger Women with Children Program at Misericordia University to promote his plan to help single parents.
On Friday, the governor visited the university to talk to university administrators and the single mothers who benefit from the program.
"What Misericordia has shown is we can do this," Wolf said. "What I was proposing on Tuesday is to add funding to help other places around Pennsylvania do exactly what Misericordia is doing."
Wolf toured the program's Moffett House — one of three campus housing locations for program participants. He wants the state to provide $5 million in support services to help low-income parents get a college education and job training.
Misericordia established its program in 2000, and only seven other similar programs exist in the U.S. The program supports up to 16 mothers with up to two children each.
"This program is a model for how to remove the roadblocks to higher education and make a college degree a reality," Wolf said.
Housing arrangements include two bedrooms for each family. Families share common living areas.
Women in the program are provided with information on state certified day care centers and are eligible for child-care subsidies through Luzerne County. School-age children may attend the Dallas Area School District, with a convenient bus stop in front of the program's Rasmussen Hall.
"Initiatives such as the Bourger Women with Children Program illustrate what a small and innovative university can do to heighten personal aspirations, enhance career prospects and improve the quality of life for families," Misericordia University President Thomas J. Botzman said.
During his tour, Wolf chatted with Rinae Cotton and Katherine Gonzalez. They are both sophomores studying to be social workers.
"You learn how to adjust and live together," Cotton told the governor. "It's completely different than living on your own."
Cotton is from Plains Twp. She is a mother of twin boys, and they turn 4 in a few weeks.
Gonzalez is from New York City and has a 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.
"It's amazing. It's an amazing opportunity," she said.
They said the program allows them to spend time with their children without being exhausted from school, work and trips to a day care facility. They now can focus on their studies during the day.
"After 5 (p.m.), it's all children," Gonzalez said.
"It's gets crazy in the house," Cotton said, adding it's "a good crazy."
State Rep. Karen Boback, R-117, Harveys Lake, addressed the media and attendees during the governor's visit.
"Governor, you have no idea, when you mentioned Misericordia at your budget address, how I was so tempted to break protocol and jump up and say, 'Yes Misericordia! Go Cougars!' I didn't' do it then, so I'll do it now," said Boback, a Misericordia graduate.
Program Director Katherine Pohlidal said the recognition from the governor "serves as confirmation that the good work we have been striving for in the Bourger Women with Children Program has not gone unnoticed" and "indicates to us that we're headed in the right direction."
Amy Hartman of Shavertown received a degree from Misericordia in 2011 after being in the program.
"It's honestly the only reason I am where I am today. I never would have been able to finish my bachelor's degree if it wasn't for this program," Hartman said.
Her daughter is now 11, and she now has a 5-month-old son. After getting her bachelor's degree, she received a master's degree in social work from Temple University and started an agency that provides services to adults with autism and intellectual disabilities.

Home Breaking Welfare Matters Force Senate to Adjourn Plenary
Welfare Matters Force Senate to Adjourn Plenary
The Senate in session
Rejects motion to debate Buhari's inaugural speech
Senate, House to resume July 2
PDP names Abaribe minority leader, Bwacha deputy
Chuks Okocha, Deji Elumoye and Shola Oyeyipo in Abuja
The Senate was Thursday forced to adjourn till July 2 following senators' complaints that they have no office accommodation and lack work tools.
It has, therefore, constituted a 12-man ad hoc committee to look into the matter after an executive session of the senators that lasted for about an hour.
The House of Representatives has also adjourned plenary till July 2 just as it sets up three ad hoc committees to oversee the activities of the Green Chamber.
The adjournment came as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after a meeting of party leaders with the Senate caucus, picked former Abia State Deputy Governor, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, as the minority leader while Senator Emmanuel Bwacha from Taraba South retained his position of deputy minority leader.
Senator Philips Aduda (FCT) also retained his post as the minority whip.
A ranking senator told THISDAY after plenary that the closed-door session deliberated on the complaints about non-availability of offices for both returning and fresh senators.
Senators, across political divide, told the meeting that they were unable to perform their legislative duties as there were no offices to operate from.
They reportedly complained of operating from their personal cars in the last two legislative days and said they could not continue this way.
THISDAY gathered that the Senate leadership after listening to the complaints, decided to take immediate remedial steps, including adjourning sitting to address the issues.
The upper chamber of the National Assembly was initially scheduled to proceed on recess next Thursday but had a rethink due to the aforementioned reasons.
Findings yesterday revealed that all the offices of the two principal officers and 107 other senators were virtually empty as members of the Eighth Senate went home with the office equipment.
The Clerk of the Senate, Nelson Ayewoh, had in a memo to the outgone senators, gave them the go-ahead to go away with the office items that include refrigerators, photocopying machines, television sets, settees, printers.
The items which were given to each of the disengaged senators at a token price of N375,000, to be deducted from their severance allowances, were packed out of the offices last week.
The Senate has also set up a 12-member ad hoc committee to liaise with the management of the National Assembly on issues bordering on allocation of seats and offices to the senators.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan said at the end of the closed-door session that the committee should submit its report in two weeks.
The committee, headed by Senator Abubakar Kyari (Borno North), has as members Senators Aisha Ahmed Modibo (Adamawa Central), Gabriel Suswam (Benue North East), Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (Niger North), Betty Apiafi (Rivers West), Akpan Bassey (Akwa Ibom North East) and Barau Jibrin (Kano North).
Other members of the committee are Senators Ibrahim Gobir (Sokoto East), Olubukola Tofowomo (Ondo South), Adeola Olamilekan (Lagos West), Chukwuka Utazi (Enugu North) and Stella Oduah (Anambra North).
The committee will work with Ayewoh towards ensuring that seats and offices are allocated to all the senators within the time frame.
However, the Senate, at its plenary, rejected a motion to debate the National Democracy Day speech delivered on Wednesday by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Senator Dung Gyang (Plateau North) had come under Order 55 of Senate Rules to bring matter of urgent national importance that has to do with the president's inaugural speech.
According to him, "this speech is already in the public domain. I am asking that in view of the interest it has generated…"
At this point, Lawan cut him short, saying he needed to seek the consent of other senators whether he should proceed with the motion or not.
Lawan, therefore, put the motion to a voice vote and the nays carried the day.
The Senate later adjourned plenary till July 2 to allow enough time for the allocation of seats and offices to senators.
This was sequel to a motion to this effect moved by Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege and seconded by Senator Philip Aduda.
House of Representatives Sets up Three Ad Hoc Committees
At its plenary yesterday, the House of Representatives set up three ad hoc committees to oversee the activities of the legislative House.
The ad hoc committees are: Committee on Selection, Committee on Media and Committee on Welfare.
The House also adjourned plenary till July 2 to allow members embark on a two-week break to settle down for legislative business.
Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin told reporters that Hon. Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim would head the 10-man ad hoc committee on media pending the setting up of substantive committees.
Briefing the reporters on the outcome of the House executive session, Ibrahim said the lawmakers were determined to forge ahead as elections are over.
"We belong to one whole House. There are not going to be any prejudices, there is not going to be leaning towards one party. We are going to work towards the unity and progress of our country; as one together. We must do it. In brotherhood we all stand.
"The traditional victory party which normally holds after elections have been conducted for Mr. Speaker has been cancelled due to the fact that we have a lot of work to do and in the two weeks within which we have been given our recess we are going to work, we are not going on holiday. New members are going to look for accommodation and come together and try and settle down in Abuja," he added.
PDP Names Abaribe Senate Minority Leader, Bwacha Deputy
Meanwhile, after a three-hour meeting between members of the party's National Working Committee (NWC) and its elected senators, the PDP yesterday announced Abaribe as the minority leader in the Senate.
Abaribe, a former deputy governor, is from Abia State.
Also appointed is Bwacha as deputy minority leader while Senator Philip Aduda from the Federal Capital Territory retained his former post of minority whip and Senator Clifford Ordia from Edo State emerged the deputy minority whip.
The meeting to decide on the positions held at the Abuja residence of the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.
The party's NWC will meet its members in the House of Representatives today for the selection of its principal officers.

While some would not hesitate to contact a qualified attorney regarding a drunk driving summons, other will continue to wonder if there is a good reason to call a DWI-DUI lawyer. From our perspective, there are number of important reasons to a fight drunken driving charge in the Garden State. While a motorist may have some nagging feeling about the nature of the arrest, a skilled DWI defense lawyer can pinpoint key factors that might lead to a reduction in the charge or having the case dismissed altogether.
Facts are key. Are there potential issues with the state's case? The way in which the arrest was conducted; how any field sobriety tests were administered and the manner in which the Breathalyzer tests were carried out. Even the circumstances surrounding the initial traffic stop and the reasons stated for that stop can have a very important bearing on the outcome of a motorist's drunk driving case. A qualified attorney with years of experience in defending individuals can be of great service in challenging the evidence presented by a municipal prosecutor.
Of course, the best reason to fight any DWI or drug DUI charge is that those individuals who aggressively challenge the police and the prosecutor's assertions may have a chance at completely avoiding any negative consequences. You cannot say that about those people who hang back and decide to plead guilty because they believe it's not worth the fight or that they couldn't win if they tried. One thing is for certain, those plead guilty right out of the gate have a 100-percent chance of being convicted of DWI or DUI.
One more argument for why drivers should seriously consider fighting a drunken driving summons: Regardless of whether this is your first offense or one of several from before, it is critical to avoid being convicted in any event because any subsequent drinking and driving case looks at prior convictions when determining penalties. Naturally, every motorist who has been stopped for the very first time for DWI believes, in fact, is almost certain that it will never happen again. Interestingly, however, every driver who gets picked up for DWI a second time eventually regrets not having fought the first one.
In the end, there should never be a question of whether or not it is worth the effort to fight a first-time DWI-DUI charge here in New Jersey. The outcome may not be known right away, but not fighting will always guarantee a conviction. However, if the outcome is favorable, which it can often be, then a dismissal or reduction in the charges is better than a full conviction. And if a dismissal is the result, any future arrest will, again, be just the first.
Because of the significant monetary expense tied to a DWI or drug DUI conviction, fines, fees and assessments can total in the thousands of dollars, depending on the circumstances and the defendant's history of prior convictions. Auto insurance surcharges are some of the more costly and long-lasting monetary penalties that convicted drunk drivers experience, and these are not just a one-time cost, but over multiple years.
As can be seen, the downside to not fighting a drunken driving charge is often worse than calling an experienced attorney and going into court prepared. Skilled DWI-DUI lawyers have years of trial experience defending motorists who find themselves facing a serious offense and potentially costly consequences. There are many excellent reasons to aggressively challenge the state, but few good ones not to do anything, except plead guilty.

Florida's roadways are unfortunately infamous nationwide. According to an article from the Orlando Sentinel, Florida statistically ranks among the deadliest for pedestrians, showing no signs of slowing anytime soon. With that knowledge, it is always important to think about what we, as motorists and pedestrians, can do to safeguard everyone on the road. Moreover, what does the law require us to do?

Helmets save lives; in this fact, there is little room for debate.

This figure is staggering, considering that motorcycle riders account for only 7% of all motorists in Florida.

Michigan Construction Careers

More than a century later, labor's political mission hasn't changed much
By The Building Tradesman
Whether George W. Bush or John F. Kerry wins the Nov. 2 election for president, one thing is clear: we live in a divided nation.
We're constantly reminded about the red and blue states, and the handful of tossup states. I've seen plenty of Bush and Kerry lawn signs at homes next to each other. It's a form of civil war, with brother pitted against brother, neighbor against neighbor – one supporting Bush, the other, Kerry.
I'm sure the same thing has been played out at construction job sites across Michigan, with Bush and Kerry partisans stating their case during lunch and coffee breaks.
The Detroit and Michigan Building Trades Councils have gone on record in support of John Kerry for president. Nearly every construction union in the state operates under the umbrella of the building trades councils, so the choice of Kerry for president reflects the views of local union leadership as well.
No doubt there are some members who wonder why unions get involved in politics especially if their union doesn't support the candidate they support. In my view, the answer is simple: unions are like any other special interest group that supports politicians who can further their interests.
In the case of construction unions, we support candidates who we feel will best support workers in our areas of interest: job safety, health care, pensions and good wages. More than a century ago, workers joined unions because they wanted fair wages, they wanted an eight-hour day and more for overtime, and they wanted to come home unhurt at the end of the day. Those things are basic to the union movement then and today.
Michigan's men and women in the building trades can choose to work union or nonunion. We think the smarter ones – meaning the readers of this paper – choose to work union when they began their career because they wanted the best pay, the best training, access to health care insurance, a pension, and a voice in their working conditions.
When you made the decision to join and pay dues to your union, you made a career decision to invest in your future. But many of us take for granted that the things that we hold near and dear will always be there for us. As the song goes, it ain't necessarily so.
The political landscape is changing for the worse for union members and other working Americans. We know that with the new overtime provisions that were so strongly pushed by President Bush will take away overtime rights for up to six million Americans. And there's little doubt that down the road, union employers will use that loss of overtime as a bargaining chip against us during negotiations.
Earlier this year, President Bush also signed legislation that helped give pension plans time to reorganize financially after years of losses – but expressly excluded construction union pension plans. President Bush threw out President Clinton's policy of using labor agreements on federal construction projects. Bush has made it clear that he would eliminate the federal prevailing wage act, if he could muster the votes in Congress.
OSHA's funding has stagnated under the Bush Administration. OSHA has become less of an advocate for workers in favor of being more of a patron for employers. Early in the Bush Administration he tossed aside a comprehensive plan to improve worker ergonomics that had been years in the making.
In the wake of numerous Enron-like corporate scandals, the president supported rules that place burdensome and costly accounting rules on unions, without placing similar rules on corporations.
In contrast, Sen. Kerry has a near perfect AFL-CIO voting record on issues of importance to unions and working people. Kerry has consistently voted with organized labor on our core issues.
Of course those and other issues that union leaders believe are important may not be as important to our members. Our nation was attacked three years ago and is involved in conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Some of our members may believe that Bush would do a better job of keeping the nation safe. Others may support the president based on his stance on abortion, stem cell research, the right to bear arms, gay marriage, or any number of other issues.
Some of those members wonder why organized labor overwhelmingly supports Democrats over Republicans. My response is that we should start supporting Republicans when they start supporting organized labor's issues.
The best illustration of organized labor's support for John Kerry is to look at the endorsement of another special interest group, the Associated Builders and Contractors. The ABC is a nationwide, anti-union group of contractors whose members are consistently underbidding union contractors because of their use of underpaid labor.
It's not an understatement to say that ABC's sole purpose is to undermine nearly everything that union construction workers hold dear: wage levels, prevailing wages laws, pensions, training standards and project labor agreements so that their contractors can maximize profits.
This summer the ABC announced that their "number one priority" this year is to help re-elect President George W. Bush.
Aside from pointing out the candidates' stances on Second Amendment guns rights matters – which has increasingly been a core issue for construction workers – building trades unions must continue to keep focused on which candidates will support our members on health and safety, wages and pensions. Those are the issues our unions were founded upon. And while the world has changed over the last 100 years, some things have remained the same.

President of Turkmenistan on World Health Day Visits Akhal-Teke Equestrian Complex and Olympic Village-Video
World Health Day is widely celebrated in Turkmenistan. In honor of the significant date, sports, fitness and other events took place. In the morning, the Turkmen leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov visited the Presidential Akhal-Teke equestrian complex, where he spent "paradise" horses. The head of state also visited the Olympic town.
In his congratulatory Address to compatriots on the occasion of World Health Day, the President emphasized that, as part of the implementation of the national transformational programs, great successes were achieved in organizing a mass physical-health-improving movement and developing sports, in promoting the principles of a healthy lifestyle, and in educating a physically strong and spiritually strong generation.
Concentration of efforts in the social sphere is a characteristic feature of the policy of the head of state. Based on the idea that the health of each person is not only individual, but also of social value, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov initiated large-scale projects to form the appropriate infrastructure, including both medical and sports facilities.
The country has created all the conditions for the development of various sports, while at the same time, traditional types such as equestrian sports are preserved. Thanks to the asceticism of the head of state, the national horse breeding industry has reached a new height, unprecedented measures are being taken to modernize its material and technical base, enhance international cooperation in this area, and promote the Turkmen riding school.
A lot of work is being done in the Akhal-Teke equestrian complex of the President of Turkmenistan to breed purebred breed "paradise" horses, to improve their exterior and the best sports qualities.
Having visited a horse named Gyratym, the head of state brought him to the arena for training. Gyratym readily carried out various commands, sensitively capturing every sign given. In the interaction of man and horse the main thing is trust.
The head of state, as is known, pays special attention to the further growth of the world prestige of the Akhal-Teke horses - national pride and the heritage of the Turkmen people. With the direct participation of the President, our country has become a center for international events to address the development of the Akhal-Teke horse breeding.
Large foreign organizations involved in breeding the Akhal-Teke breed of horses, well-known horse breeders, specialists in this industry come to the original homeland of famous horses and discuss issues of breed breeding, maintaining its purity and distribution in the world.
Having once played the most important role in the fate of the Turkmens, the Akhal-Teke horse, a phenomenon of national and world culture, still remains the talisman of the successes of our country, the image of the dream of its people, a symbol of aspiration for progress.
After training with Gyrat, the head of state left the Presidential Akhal-Teke equestrian complex. Then the Turkmen leader, along with his son Serdar Berdimuhamedov, went on bicycles towards the Olympic town, where he made a bike ride.
Attaching great importance to the formation of a modern sports infrastructure, the President brought the work carried out in this direction to the rank of state policy priorities. As an illustrative example, we can cite the construction in our capital of an Olympic town that has no analogues in the region. He has repeatedly hosted large-scale competitions with the participation of athletes from dozens of states. But the main thing, which is especially emphasized by the President of Turkmenistan, the appearance of this town gave a powerful impetus to the development of mass sports in the country.
The Olympic town, which structure includes about 40 different sports facilities, has become a decoration of Ashgabat and the pride of its inhabitants. All the buildings of the complex are distinguished by their expressive aesthetic appearance, and its most outstanding element is the artistic and monumental image of a horse ascended above the main arena and entered the Guinness Book of Records.
In the Olympic town, the head of state visited an indoor cycle track and completed a training race on a bicycle on a racetrack.
This bike track in all respects meets international standards and modern requirements for objects of this kind. The conditions created here allow for international competitions. The cycle track has spectator stands for 6 thousand seats, all the necessary infrastructure is provided, which provides comfort for athletes and coaches, technical and maintenance personnel, and, of course, for fans who like cycling.
With the commissioning of the cycle track on the basis of the Olympic town, a new page in the history of the national cycling movement also began, since a construction of this type was first constructed in Turkmenistan. The quality of the facility was appreciated by specialists of the International Union of Cyclists.
Sport today has become an integral part of society. The participation of our athletes in the world sports movement, their medals and awards of various tournaments and championships is expanding - convincing evidence of the enormous attention that the President pays to the development of sports and its infrastructure, creating all conditions for identifying talents and enhancing the skills of athletes.
The fact that sport is a way of health is demonstrated by the President of Turkmenistan. He regularly trains, runs, rides a bicycle, equally brilliantly drives a sports car and a horse.
Further, the head of state and his associates discussed issues of popularizing the principles of a healthy lifestyle and sports, mass physical-health-improving movement.
As is known, the Turkmen leader keeps in the center of constant attention issues related to sports and the health of the people. Tournaments held in recent years with the participation of athletes from dozens of countries of the world have strengthened the status of Turkmenistan as an important international sports center.
The resolution on the proclamation of June 3 as World Cycling Day, adopted on the initiative of Turkmenistan in 2018 at the 82nd meeting of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, was a reflection of the high appreciation by the world community of the proposals of the Turkmen side on the development of sports and fitness movement carried out on increasing cooperation between states and peoples in this area, raising the environmental level in society.
As President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted, the first society of cyclists in Ashgabat was created in 1894. A year after its creation, the first cycling competition was organized, which launched its development in Turkmenistan. Currently, the bike has not lost its relevance. On the contrary - acquired new forms, forms and functions. Most of humanity uses a bicycle in its daily life as an alternative eco-friendly transport. And in our country, this trend is only gaining momentum.
The announcement of June 3 as World Bicycle Day is indisputable evidence of recognition of the initiatives of our neutral state aimed at strengthening peace, friendly and fruitful relations, including building up international cooperation in the field of sports.
As you know, in Ashgabat, in honor of World Bicycle Day, a monument is being erected in the guise of which the rich history and modern achievements of our people will be reflected.
Today in Turkmenistan, the number of people involved in sports has significantly increased, its importance and importance in society have increased. The main goal of the strategy for the development of national sport and the strengthening of the principles of a healthy lifestyle in society is to increase the number of supporters of sports and physical education, especially children, boys and girls.
Sports and fitness and sports activities are a combination of the efforts of the state and society. In this regard, Turkmenistan is setting a positive example for other states in successfully taking active steps aimed at developing and promoting a healthy lifestyle, physical education and sports - both in the short and long term.
The granting by the International Cyclists Union of the right to host the World Cycling Track Championship in Ashgabat in 2021 is a confirmation of the high confidence shown in our country and the huge success of sports policy implemented by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
It should be noted with particular pride that Turkmenistan has been included in the Guinness Book of Records in areas related to cycling. As you know, in June 2018, a cycling training was held at the Ashgabat multifunctional metropolitan stadium, which the representatives of the Guinness Book of Records announced as the most massive educational lesson on cycling in the world. 3 thousand 246 people became participants in a large-scale bicycle action.
A year later, in June 2019, the longest cycling parade on one line was held in the Olympic town of Ashgabat and the world record was again updated. Participants in a large-scale bicycle action lined up at a certain distance from each other and cycled around the Olympic town, covering a distance of 3300 meters. And this fact was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
The life-affirming force of aspiration for physical and spiritual perfection brought today - on World Health Day - to the starts of numerous lovers of a healthy lifestyle throughout Turkmenistan, who followed the example of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. At a time when the situation with coronavirus remains tense in many countries of the world, a calm epidemiological situation is ensured in Turkmenistan thanks to timely measures.
As a result of a farsighted policy, including in the healthcare system, cases of importation of infection were prevented in our country and preventive measures are being continued. That is why the celebration of the wide scope of World Health Day is of great importance.
In this context, it is necessary to emphasize the effectiveness of the State Health Program, within the framework of which modern medical centers, sanatoriums, pharmaceutical enterprises and other related facilities have been built, which have brought the national health system to a new level.
The state spends huge funds on expanding the modern sports and recreational infrastructure, as well as on ensuring compliance with international standards. Projects of all educational and pre-school institutions being built in the country include well-equipped gyms, basketball and volleyball courts, swimming pools, tennis courts and others.
In the children's health centers in the resort town of Geokdere, in all the provinces and in the Avaza national tourist zone, excellent conditions have been created for active recreation. All this is another evidence that a person is the highest value of our state.
During the conversation, the head of Turkmenistan focused on the development of physical culture, which is an important condition for maintaining and strengthening the health of the people.
In this regard, focusing on the education of the young generation, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized the need to involve sports and work in this process.
Forming the integrity of the physical, spiritual and intellectual-professional development of young people is a complex educational process that requires joint efforts from the family, education and other social institutions of the society, the President of Turkmenistan said, instructing to keep under constant control the implementation of tasks related to the adoption of the principles of a healthy lifestyle of life. In their decision, it is important to effectively use sports complexes and facilities, sports grounds.
The head of state wished his comrades good health, family well-being, success in work and left the scene.

Intelligence Sharing Could Have Prevented Texas Shooting
Samuel Siskind, November 10, 2017 10:15AM
In the aftermath of the devastating Texas church shooting which took the lives of 26 people, authorities are honing in on the missed red flags about the attacker Devin Patrick Kelley, that could have potentially prevented the incident.
Hindsight is indeed 20/20, and following every tragedy there will always be the inevitable flaws and missed opportunities that are identified. In this case, however, alleged errors pointed out are highly reminiscent of negligent trends that we've seen within the defense and intelligence spheres before.
It is clear that Kelley had a history of very disturbing behavior. The most alarming thing on the federal government's radar was the fact that Kelly was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force in 2014 after serving for two years for assaulting his wife and young daughter. As is protocol, the Air Force should have reported Kelley's conviction to civilian law enforcement. This alone could have prevented Kelley from purchasing the assault weapon he used to carry out the attack.
Other incidents from Kelley's past include his alleged escape from a mental facility in 2012. El Paso police told news media sources that Kelley ran off from the Peak Behavioral Health Systems in New Mexico which he was admitted to after accusations of violent criminal behavior. During his service, there was an incident with Kelley in which he brought a firearm onto Holloman Air Force Base where he was stationed and threatened his commanders.
With this "colorful" record, it might sound like a surprise that Kelley was not flagged several times over before being able to carry out the recent shooting.
The truth is however, information sharing has been an Achilles heel of the defense and intelligence industries for quite a long time.
It is simple logic that all members of the law enforcement, defense, and intelligence communities need easy access to relevant intelligence to execute their jobs. Often that relevant data is uncovered by one or two member agencies. This can be for a variety of reasons but most often it's due to the information not being within the sphere of other agencies' areas of operations. For instance, the CIA, whose mandate is intelligence gathering outside the United States, may not have access to information uncovered by the FBI, a primarily domestic organization, and vice versa. Many new laws and policy changes have been introduced in recent years, especially following 9/11, that were meant to ensure smooth and efficient information sharing amongst federal organizations. Some of the central provisions of the famed PATRIOT Act of 2001, for instance, were designed to accomplish this goal.
Other acts of Congress created whole new organizational infrastructures to help centralize information relevant to national security. Take for example the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 which upon its passing brought into existence the Directorate of National Intelligence, the office that functions as the center of the intelligence community today.
It is for this very need of centralized information sharing that the FBI maintains what is called the National Criminal Information Center (NCIC) what the Bureau refers to as the "lifeline of law enforcement." The NCIC is the center that Kelley's history should have been made known to.
That said, the problem persists. Why?
Because although new policies had succeeded in creating infrastructure protocol for efficient information sharing, policies are only useful if people comply. And there lies the issue.
The revelations about Kelley's missing records have led some lawmakers on Capitol Hill to call for a comprehensive review of the compliance in the criminal reporting systems of all military branches. If Kelley's long history could go unnoticed, what other potentially dangerous ex-military personnel are out there that we don't know about?
Other federal offices have already begun their reviews of the incident. The Air Force Inspector General is currently conducting an investigation into what happened. The Pentagon has also requested that its own inspector general review the handling of Kelley's records. According to reports, these reviews will investigate the military's reporting practices more broadly as well.
Hopefully, this series of self-evaluations on the part of government agencies will produce some helpful ideas as to how the already in place system of information sharing can be more useful in preventing future tragedy.

Evolving trade policy architecture and FTAs in Asia
In: New Global Economic Architecture
Masahiro Kawai
Ganeshan Wignaraja
The global financial crisis of 2007-2009 exposed flaws and shortcomings in the global economic architecture, and has sparked an international debate about possible remedies for them. The postwar global architecture was essentially guided by the major developed economies, and was centered around the IMF, the GATT – the predecessor of the WTO – and the World Bank. Today, however, the balance of economic and financial power is shifting toward the emerging economies, especially those in Asia, and both global governance and economic policy thinking are beginning to reflect this shift. This book addresses the important question of how a regional architecture, particularly one in Asia, can induce a supply of regional public goods that can complement and strengthen the global public goods supplied through the global architecture. These public goods include institutions to help maintain financial stability, support more open trading regimes and promote sustainable economic development.

Kerrie O' Brien
Publication Date: Thursday, October 06, 2016
Cover Artwork: Cover Artwork & Front Cover Design: Karen Comerford. Back Cover Design & Book Typesetting: Siobhán Hutson
'We are all red inside
Brimming with love
All fluid and quiet and fire'
Exploring the concept of oneness and the transcendent nature of art, these raw and powerful reflections on lineage, faith and love will speak to your heart. This is a work of astonishing beauty which truly illuminates modern existence.
"Every poem in this collection has the grace of its occasion, speaks with an earned confidence, rehearses and proposes insights of quiet, lingering power. With economy, with precision, with inspired and exact gratitude for being alive, O' Brien draws from each poem here a crafted epiphany – of love and memory, of art and its occasions, of light and colour and time and being human."
Theo Dorgan
"Kerrie O' Brien gifts us a pure poetry of the senses. Her world is rich with its startling and honest scrutiny of people and places, of states of mind and twilit in-betweens. The writing demonstrates a refreshing openness to language and feeling, and is as colourful as it is spare and understated. Her sense of the city is sublime, whether writing of Dublin or Paris, and her response to the iconic shapers of visual culture original. Through her eyes, the fragile world we inhabit is illuminated: raw, erotic, tender, but aflame with a poetically controlled feeling that ranges from lament to celebration. O' Brien's vision is beautiful and out of the ordinary, and this is one of the best collections I have read this year."
Mary O'Donnell
"Kerrie O' Brien's poems communicate in a kind spontaneous language that is pared down to the essentials in a way that truthfully reflects and illuminates her felt emotions and what she sees as the impermanence of things. They reveal a poet of marked sensibility and delicate cadences."
Gerard Smyth
Kerrie O' Brien has been published in many journals and newspapers including Cyphers, The Stinging Fly, The Irish Times, Banshee Lit, The Irish Examiner, Southword, Orbis and The Penny Dreadful.
In February 2012 she was the first poet to read as part of the New Writers Series in Shakespeare & Co., Paris. Her poem "Blossoms" was chosen as the winning entry in the Emerging Talent category of the 2011 iYeats Poetry Competition.
Her flash fiction piece "That Night" won the RTE Arena Flash Fiction Competition 2012 and Culture Ireland sponsored her to read in Los Angeles in June of that year. She was one of the emerging writers chosen to read at the Cork Spring Poetry Festival 2013 as well as the Poetry Ireland Introductions Series, Listowel Writers' Week, Cuisle International Poetry Festival and at the London Irish Arts Centre. Her short fiction piece "Dole" features in the New Planet Cabaret Anthology published by New Island in association with RTE Arena. She was shortlisted for the Penny Dreadful Novella Prize 2015 and is currently working on her first novel. She has a BA in History of Art and Architecture from Trinity College Dublin. Illuminate is her debut collection of poetry and was made possible by a literature bursary from the Arts Council of Ireland.
Kerrie O'Brien's gorgeous poems in Illuminate are full of light and colour but also of powerful silences. The pieces engaging with painters have a sort of touching delicacy in the face of grandeur. I adored this book. It's like carrying Paris around in your pocket.

Home Childish Gambino Childish Gambino Releasing Virtual Reality Vinyl for "Awaken, My Love!"
Childish Gambino's 2016 "Awaken, My Love!" is about to take its rightful place in your vinyl collection. Come May 19th, the limited edition vinyl will hit shelves, packed with cool features. In advance of the release, a screening party will be held at London's House of Vans. Tickets for the ballot entry event are available here.
Seen above, the 2xLP will come with beautiful glow in the dark artwork photographed by Ibra Ake showcasing the bonelike headdresses designed by WXYZ Jewelry. Seen in the bottom left, a cardboard virtual reality viewer will come with the package. What will you watch with this cardboard viewer you ask? Well, for the diehard Gambino fans, perhaps the most exciting feature here is the 360° footage shot at the PHAROS festival last summer.
Here at the PHAROS festival was where Childish Gambino played "Awaken, My Love!" live in full for the first time. The album went on to debut at number 5 on the Billboard charts, and its second single, "Redbone" was perfectly featured in one this year's biggest films, Get Out.
The vinyl has already sold-out on Childish Gambino's website where it was retailing for $59.99. It also appears to be being resold through Amazon, though it's unclear whether this is just the vinyl or both the vinyl and exclusive VR kit.
So while everyone from Me and Your Mama knows who Donald Glover is at this point, from creating and starring in his Golden-Globe winning FX series, Atlanta, to his Golden-Globe winning shoutout to Migos, to, oh yeah, being cast as your new Lando Calrissian in 2018's young Han Solo film, the man absolutely everywhere.
As for his alter-ego, Childish Gambino has yet to truly rise above the lukewarm reviews from the critics. For as many passionate fans his music has, he has just as many detractors. But for many, myself included, "Awaken, My Love!" marked an exciting sonic shift for the artist that I'm genuinely looking forward to hearing where he goes next…and totally would be more than cool if that next place takes him to the long-rumored collaborative album with another it-boy, Chance the Rapper.
One can only hope! Until then, be sure to find me with wearing out my copy of "Awaken, My Love!" just so I can hear "Terrified" a million times.
