Abandon Ship è il primo album in studio del gruppo musicale australiano Knife Party, pubblicato il 7 novembre 2014 dalla Earstorm Records.

Registrazione
I lavori all'album di debutto dei Knife Party sono cominciati nel settembre 2013, subito dopo la conclusione del tour in supporto all'EP Haunted House. In concomitanza con l'annuncio del titolo dell'album, il gruppo ha rivelato che nove dei dodici brani prefissati per la pubblicazione erano stati completati, con «cinque [brani] in forse e cinque nelle possibili idee [per l'album]». Completato il mese successivo, Abandon Ship è stato masterizzato nello periodo.

L'intero processo di registrazione è stato curato da Rob Swire presso gli Earstorm di Londra, nel quale Swire stesso si è occupato anche dei processi di missaggio e di masterizzazione.

Promozione
Il titolo dell'album è stato annunciato dal duo il 9 giugno 2014 attraverso il proprio sito ufficiale. Il 20 dello stesso mese, i Knife Party si sono esibiti all'annuale Electric Daisy Carnival di Las Vegas, nel quale hanno presentato per la prima volta brani definitivi e non di Abandon Ship.

Il 6 agosto Rob Swire ha reso disponibile attraverso il proprio profilo SoundCloud un'anteprima del brano Boss Mode, seguito il 29 dello stesso mese dalla pubblicazione del primo singolo Resistance. In quest'ultima data è stata annunciata l'uscita di Abandon Ship per il 27 ottobre.

Il 23 e il 29 settembre sono invece stati pubblicati per il download digitale i singoli Begin Again e Boss Mode, seguiti il 1º ottobre dal videoclip di Begin Again. Il 15 ottobre i Knife Party hanno comunicato la posticipazione della data di pubblicazione di Abandon Ship al 10 novembre, a causa di "ragioni non interamente poste sotto il nostro controllo". Tuttavia, il 7 novembre 2014 l'album è stato pubblicato a sorpresa dal gruppo sull'iTunes Store.

Chateau Ocean Condominiums in Surfside now taking reservations. The project, which obtained approval at the end of 2012, consist of 89 units, 12 stories tall in all, and was designed by renowned firm Arquitectonica. The developer, Chateau Group based in Hallandale Beach, recently purchased the parcels located at the 9300 block of Collins Avenue for $50 millions to build this luxury tower. They are also behind the Sunny Isles project Chateau Beach, which is currently under construction and due by September 2014. With an average price of $1300/sf, there is no doubt Chateau Ocean is a high-end, exclusive project. Pricing will start in the mid $3 million for the least expensive unit and will range in size from 3,500 sf to +10,000 sq ft.
For more information about this and other projects in Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour, Aventura, Surfside, Brickell or any other area in Miami, please contact us and we will happy to assist you. Please check back with us periodically for more updated real estate information.

Sorare CEO shares bold vision on NFTs during Web Summit 2021 opening night
The co-founder of the French tech unicorn discussed major innovations that could come as a result of developments in the NFTs industry.
Web Summit 2021, the biggest tech conference in the world, kicked off on Monday in Lisbon, Portugal, and will last until Thursday. In an opening statement, Carlos Moedas, the mayor of Lisbon, said that "My dream is that Lisbon will be the capital of innovation in the world." Meanwhile, João Leão, the minister of finance of Portugal, stated:
"Portugal is the place to live, to invest, to do business, and to do so in a manner which is open to difference, tolerant and multicultural."
Notable guest speakers included Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, Black Lives Matter co-founder Ayo Tometi, and Nicholas Julia, co-founder and CEO of French nonfungible token (NFT) fantasy gaming company Sorare.
NFTs are digital certificates of ownership representing artwork, images, videos, music and more. They are stored in digital wallets, while the actual assets can be stored on-chain or off-chain, depending on size. Sorare enables players to manage their own soccer, or football, teams with digital player cards minted as NFTs. These cards can be bought, sold and transferred.
When asked about the future of the NFT industry within five to ten years, Julia said the following:
"NFTs will be the underlying technology for everything of value on the web. It could be monetary value or it could be personal value. I was mentioning your identity earlier on, so that's something an NFT could carry for you on the web. It's going to be invisible."
Founded in Paris three years ago, Sorare's valuation has grown from $270 million to $4.3 billion. Japanese multinational conglomerate SoftBank led its latest round of funding in September. According to Julia, half a million users joined the platform organically, without any marketing. More than 200 football clubs worldwide are currently partnering with Sorare. Based on the company's profile on NFT marketplace OpenSea, Sorares cards' cumulative trading volume has surpassed 50,200 Ether (ETH).
But Sorare also seeks to expand outside the realm of NFTs for gaming. Julia made the following statement in that regard:
"We want people to feel the benefits of it, that you truly own your digital good, that you can move it, and so on without having the friction of crypto that most of the crypto products have today — it's complicated. I see that it's a technology that's going to underpin everything of value on the web."

So we got ourselves a new furry companion on the boat. Meet Bindy!
She's a 14 month old (as of this post) tabby that we picked up from Pawsway which is near where we dock for winter. We didn't think we were going to get a new pet for quite a while yet but she is just a crazy cuddly cat. Super affectionate and very playful (slight red head so she loses her mind once in awhile). Very happy that we have her on board, and it only took like 2 hours for her to get used to the place.
Just as a shout out to the Pawsway people the whole process with them was painless and really easy. Not only was the purchase cheap but they covered all her medical bills (chipping, neutering, vaccines) but also we have prepaid insurance with them for a bit of time. Highly recommend!


Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals is an innovation-driven specialty pharmaceutical company focused on improving outcomes for patients with severe and critical conditions. Among the company's most innovative areas of focus is regenerative medicine – cell therapy – and the development of potentially paradigm-changing treatments for patients with severe burns and other difficult-to-treat skin conditions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also highlighted the value of cellular therapy through its Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy program under the 21st Century Cures Act.
Cell therapy represents a new way forward in medicine, yet its possibilities must be balanced, according to Sally Temple, Ph.D., of the University of Albany School of Public Health.
Dr. Temple was one of four thought leaders who recently spoke with Mallinckrodt's Science and Technology (S&T) organization during a "Cell Therapy" symposium. This day-long event explored the current state of the regenerative medicine healthcare segment and new emerging technologies. That balance Dr. Temple mentioned comes with ensuring review, testing, repetition and rigor as new developments advance while preserving patient welfare and public trust.
Temple was joined by Lynn Allen-Hoffmann, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Regenerative Medicine, Mallinckrodt; Jörg Gerlach, M.D., Ph.D., McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine; and Jacques Galipeau, M.D., University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. The symposium provided an introduction to cell therapy and explored topics ranging from translational research challenges, the convergence of cell therapy and medical devices, how adult retinal pigment epithelial stem cells may be able to help address age-related macular degeneration to mechanistic analysis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for optimized use in clinical trials.
Regenerative medicine therapies are being developed with different types of stem cells, including adult and embryonic, as well as progenitor cells, such as those found in umbilical cord blood, and numerous other tissues and organs. For example, epidermis contains tissue-specific progenitor cells which form the thin skin tissue forming the outermost layer of a body's surface, while MSCs are multipotent stromal[i] cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including bone cells, cartilage cells, muscle cells and fat cells.
-Level 1[ii] randomized controlled trial designs.
Given organs and tissues are complex, regenerative medicine presents technical challenges such as scalability to a clinically relevant size, strict control over the starting materials – including cell sources, whether autologous[iii] or allogeneic[iv] – and tolerability or integration with the patient.
There are also operational challenges, Allen-Hoffmann noted. These are three-fold: in manufacturing, where you need ready access to early phase clinical good manufacturing practice facilities; in quality systems, with a need to support a wide variety of technologies and where existing guidance documents may not directly apply; and clinically, where enabling partnerships for ready access to experienced clinical teams is important.

Little Miss A turns 4 at the end of the month and I've just gone to look for a post about what we got up to last year and realised that I never posted one! Have no idea why and as this blog is a primarily for the kids to look back on, I want to rectify the omission by posting now.
I do remember that Little Miss A's birthday celebrations seemed to go on for weeks last year! Her birthday is at the very end of March, but she was still opening presents a couple of weeks later!
As with the previous year we decided not to have a party for her, opting for quality time with family instead. There's plenty of years ahead when she can have parties with her friends from school etc.
It started with a birthday treat a week before her actual birthday as my parents paid for us all to go to the Gruffalo Experience in Milton Keynes. We all enjoyed the experience and Little Miss A loved having the chance to meet the Gruffalo!
Then for her actual birthday we were in Brighton. We were staying with our friends so we put up a small '3' banner and had her presents waiting for her to open when she got up. We'd just taken a few token presents down with us rather than the bulky ones.
I feel a bit bad that she didn't have lots of decorations etc. like I've done in previous years but she's still of an age where she doesn't really understand what a Birthday really is. She does of course enjoy the presents and cake part of it all!
A few days later, we visited my parents for the weekend so Little Miss A was spoilt rotten with more presents and cake. She actually had 3 cakes (2 edible) this year - I guess very apt as it was her 3rd Birthday!
Finally, we visited Mr MoaB's family up North in mid-April where there were even more presents waiting for her. Her Frozen 'Elsa' dress was one of her favourite things and still gets worn a year later so think we're going to have to invest in a bigger size one soon!
So though low key Little Miss A had lots of fun with family and friends for her 3rd birthday.
We did have a bit of a belated party for Little Miss A as we were offered the opportunity to host a bowling party at Hollywood Bowl in Milton Keynes. It was nice for her to try bowling out for the first time with some of her friends and for her to have a bit of fuss made of her for the day following Baby R's arrival!
And so now to plan her 4th Birthday!


"The Update To Beat All Updates!"
Game Modifiers are now in stock! Purchase them from the In-Game Store and enable them from the Options Menu.
Not for the faint of heart, this mode is fast, furious and down right frantic. Turn this bad boy on and Versus Modes will increase in speed by 25%.
What, you want to turn me off? How dare you! You... you... MONSTER! Seriously though, I could do with a lie down in a dark room so don't mind me.
Wanna play bananas only? Well you can, you can also play melons only, pineapples only, mushrooms only or even choose no items at all.
Here's a tip: Turbo Mode + Minigames Off + No Items is a real test of skill for you and your virulent compadres.
There used to be a nightclub called Dropout near where I grew up, it attracted the very people you would expect - QUITTERS! So, we've added a drop-out feature - players 2, 3 and 4 can now pause the menu and give up on life should they wish. Typical!
There's been some improvements to the player reactions to the environment. Tumbles, crashes and falls are now more realistic and glitches should be less frequent however mistakes will now lead to more amusing ragdoll moments.
I'm not going to say much about this, instead I shall leave you with this screenshot which won't clarify anything at all.
The title says it all, your custom control scheme will now be saved, including assignments for players, buttons... everything! Yay!
Versus Modes against CPU opponents now include the four boss characters. What happens when Hazuki and Hideko face off? Will they have a tiff? Juicy!
Elimination by shiba inu. That is all. Actually it isn't, there's also been improvements to the melon based sudden death too, my oh my you're so spoiled!
Nippon melons are the best melons, you know why? Because they explode! However we've made them a little less accurate so that the leader doesn't get 'blue shell syndrome' and need hospitalising.
You can now earn Yen from playing GO-GO-TROLLEY BOWLING and LOBSTER MODE, hurrah!
Keep your eyes, ears and noses peeled for more updates regarding all things Nippon on my twitter page, and who knows I may even get to release EXCLUSIVE sneak peeks at the upcoming NEO JINKO prefecture and on the somewhat elusive STORY MODE!

The animal lovers of New York society are in an uproar over the hot-and-heavy romance between Michael Bloomberg's daughter, Georgina, and a trophy-game hunter.
Little did the org know that her date for the gala at Cipriani was oil company COO Carlos Arruza Jr. — who can often be seen on social media posing cheerfully with the gory carcasses of deer, wild boars and wild turkeys that he has gunned down. We're told that since finding out that Georgina has been fraternizing with the enemy, Humane Society insiders are not amused. Nor are the folks at the ASPCA, of which Georgina has also been a vocal supporter.
Also likely to make for awkward conversation at the former mayor and Bloomberg LP founder's dinner table: While Michael is a staunch gun-control advocate and climate-change activist, Georgina's new beau — who is the COO of SSI Petroleum — is an assault-rifle enthusiast. Still, the Florida native doesn't stop at bullets. According to his Instagram account, he's also keen on spear fishing and shooting turkeys with a bow and arrow.
The Humane Society, Arruza, and reps for Georgina all declined to comment.

Online to Claim 40% of Apparel Market Share in 2030s
By Caletha Crawford
Babies"R"Us is Headed to Brazil
By the 2030s, online is expected to reach 40% or more of the overall apparel and footwear market. If that number sounds inflated, it's because the percent of online sales frequently reported today is incorrect.
That's the conclusion of a recent Fung Global Retail & Tech findings. The report says the common belief that online sales only account for 10% of U.S. retail sales is wrong. In fact, the report says, the implication that 90% of sales are still generated through brick-and-mortar stores is perpetuated by retailers who have vested interest in justifying their physical stores.
The 10% number came about based on calculations that include grocery sales, which is a category that lags far behind others in terms of online adoption. "In the US, in particular, online retailing is predominantly about nonfood categories, and if we look at only those categories, e-commerce's share of sales becomes more significant," the report says.
The adjusted estimates that focus just on nonfood sales show e-commerce made up 14.6 percent of U.S. sales in 2016, compared to 10.8 percent of all retail sales including food.
[Learn more about consumers' buying habits: The New Customer Journey: "Always On" Meets "On Demand"]
In the UK, where online sales are about five years ahead of the U.S., nonfood e-commerce sales were 18.7 percent of the market last year, compared to 14.7 percent of sales including food. But even these numbers don't tell the full tale since they eliminate food but not grocery related products like pet food and personal care. Removing all food retailers from the equation, as the UK's Office for National Statistics does, shows e-commerce made up 22.5 percent of nonfood retailing in the UK in 2016. So far this year, the average has been 26.1 percent.
Further, e-commerce already commands 24% of the apparel and footwear market, according to Kantar Worldpanel. In 2018, the number is expected to reach 25%. In the U.S., e-commerce is expected to account for one fifth of fashion-related sales.
"In apparel and footwear, e-commerce's share of sales tends to roughly track the average for all nonfood categories," the report notes. "This is partially due to apparel being at the midpoint on the 'tangibility scale': apparel is not as sensitive to consumer demand to touch and feel the product as fresh food is, nor is it bought based on specification as often as electronics are."

CHICAGO --- Researchers have turned off a life-threatening allergic response to peanuts by tricking the immune system into thinking the nut proteins aren't a threat to the body, according to a new preclinical study from Northwestern Medicine. The peanut tolerance was achieved by attaching peanut proteins onto blood cells and reintroducing them to the body -- an approach that ultimately may be able to target more than one food allergy at a time.
"We think we've found a way to safely and rapidly turn off the allergic response to food allergies," said Paul Bryce, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of allergy-immunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Bryce and Stephen Miller, professor of microbiology-immunology at Feinberg, are co-senior authors of a paper published in the Journal of Immunology.
It's the first time this method for creating tolerance in the immune system has been used in allergic diseases. It has previously been used in autoimmune diseases.
The approach also has a second benefit. It creates a more normal, balanced immune system by increasing the number of regulatory T cells, immune cells important for recognizing the peanut proteins as normal.
"T cells come in different 'flavors'," Bryce said. "This method turns off the dangerous Th2 T cell that causes the allergy and expands the good, calming regulatory T cells. We are supposed to be able to eat peanuts. We've restored this tolerance to the immune system."
Peanut allergies often cause life-threatening allergic reactions, called anaphylaxis. Each year there are between 15,000 and 30,000 episodes of food-induced anaphylaxis and 100 to 200 related deaths in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health. There is no safe treatment to protect people from a severe allergic reaction to food.
When an allergic person eats a peanut, the proteins are absorbed through the intestine and can activate a life-threatening, full-body immune response. This includes constriction of the airways, low blood pressure and/or shock and can lead to loss of consciousness and death.
Using a mouse model that mimics a life-threatening peanut allergy (which the Northwestern team developed several years ago), researchers attached peanut proteins onto white blood cells called leukocytes and infused those back into the mice. After two treatments, the mice were fed a peanut extract. They did not have the life-threatening allergic reaction because their immune system now recognized the protein as safe.
"Their immune system saw the peanut protein as perfectly normal because it was already presented on the white blood cells," Bryce said. "Without the treatment, these animals would have gone into anaphylactic shock." Bryce thinks more than one protein can be attached to the surface of the cell and, thus, target multiple food allergies at one time.
In the second part of the study, Northwestern researchers used the same approach with an egg protein, which was to provoke an immune response -- similar to an asthma attack -- in the lungs. They attached the proteins to white blood cells and infused the cells back into the mice. When the mice inhaled the asthma-provoking egg protein, their lungs didn't become inflamed.
"This is an exciting new way in which we can regulate specific allergic diseases and may eventually be used in a clinical setting for patients," said Miller, the Judy Gugenheim Research Professor at the Feinberg School.
Miller also has used the same approach in autoimmune diseases. His previous published research has shown the same technique to stop the progression of multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes, both autoimmune diseases, in animal models. This approach is currently being tested in multiple sclerosis patients in a phase I/IIa clinical trial.
For autoimmune diseases and allergic airway diseases, Miller also is working with microparticles rather than white cells to induce tolerance, because the microparticles are more easily standardizd for manufacturing.
The paper's co-lead authors are Charles B. Smarr and Chia-Lin Hsu, both graduate students.

'World War' threat: India scrambles additional flights to bring back citizens from Ukraine as Russia orders troops to enter Donbas
by NE NOW NEWS February 22, 2022 3:23 pm February 22, 2022 3:23 pm
The Indian embassy in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, is making arrangements of flights out of Ukraine, to bring back Indian citizens residing in the country.
The urgency in arranging additional flights out of Ukraine by the Indian embassy comes after Russia ordered its troops to enter into Donbas region of Ukraine.
The advisory was issued by the Indian embassy in Kyiv amid escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine at the border.
"In view of the continued high level of tensions and uncertainties of the current situation in Ukraine, additional flights are being organised," the Indian embassy said in an advisory.

A total of four flights are scheduled to depart Kyiv for New Delhi between February 25 and March 6.
Meanwhile, scheduled flights of airliners – Air Arabia, Fly Dubai, Qatar Airways, etc continue to operate their routine flights from Ukraine to India.
The Indian embassy in Ukraine, on Tuesday, once again asked Indian students to leave that country temporarily, after Russia recognised independence of two separatist regions in eastern Ukraine.
"The embassy of India is receiving a large number of calls asking about the confirmation of online classes by Medical Universities. In this regard, as informed earlier, the embassy is engaged with respective authorities for streamlining of the education process for Indian students," it said.
"Students are advised, in the interest of their safety, to leave Ukraine temporarily, rather than wait for an official confirmation from universities," the mission added in a fresh advisory.

Notably, Russia has ordered its troops to enter into eastern Ukraine.
The Russian troops have been ordered by President Vladimir Putin to enter into separatists-held region of Donbas in Ukraine.
Russia has recognised independence of separatist-controlled provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, collectively known as Donbas region of Ukraine.
Russia said the troops would be on a 'peacekeeping' mission in the Donbas region.
However, the United States has called Russia's 'peacekeeping' mission as 'nonsense'.
The US has accused Russia of creating a pretext for war.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's president has said that his country is "not afraid of anything or anyone".
Donbas is a Russian-speaking-ethnicity majority region of Ukraine, some of whose territory is occupied by two unrecognized separatist states – the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic, after the 2014 Russo-Ukrainian War.

'The city of Worcester has lost a hero': Officer dies trying to save drowning teen
by: Sarah Doiron, Kim Kalunian
WORCESTER, Mass. (WPRI) — An officer that jumped into a Worcester pond Friday afternoon in an attempt to save a drowning teenager has died, Worcester Police Chief Steven Sargent said.
Sargent said officers were called to the Green Hill Park after receiving multiple reports of people drowning in the pond.

When the officers arrived, Sargent said they saw three teenagers in the pond struggling to stay afloat. One of those teens was reaching only his arm above the water.
Sargent said divers were called to the scene to search for Familia and the boy. After a couple of hours, Sargent said both were found unresponsive and rushed to the hospital where they were later pronounced dead.
"The Worcester Police Department has lost a brother, a friend and a partner, and the city of Worcester has lost a hero," Sargent said. "We will remember and honor his selfless devotion to Worcester and his ultimate sacrifice to save someone he didn't know."
Familia was a five-year veteran of the force and leaves behind a wife and two children, according to Sargent.
"This is a type of person that Manny was, someone who would lay down his life for someone else's child," Worcester Mayor Joseph Petty said.
The incident occurred just hours after two officers were ambushed and shot by a suspect in Braintree. Both officers are expected to survive, however, their K9 and the gunman were killed in the shootout.

The dangerous powerful personality of Donald Trump

Imagining the Worst
Right now it is easy for some people to envision nightmare scenarios of the future.
I know of climate scientist–thoughtful, passionate people–who suddenly feel like so much work they have done is about to unravel by an American administration that dismisses the causes and risks of climate change.
LGBTQ people and activists see who is coming into power, the words they have spoken against us, and shudder at the legal and societal consequences.
People of color and immigrants, who have long experienced inequality in the USA see the potential for a turning back and doubling down from law enforcement and in the justice department.
Women who had been hoping for more advances in equality, representation, and decency, suddenly are faced with powerful people who have outright demeaned women and are likely to pursue a course to roll back existing protections and rights.
And all of us feel that bullies have been given moral authority to be out and proud about their bigotry.
How do we respond to a Trump Administration?
We are each getting our footing in this new rocky landscape we seek to figure out our paths forward. No doubt there are and will be many many organizing sessions and meetings to strategize how to protect all we hold dear. But with each headline that sound more and more like an Onion bad dream scenario, it is easy to get caught up in the larger than life personality of Donald Trump and the cast of appointees whose pasts cause some of us shudder.

One thing that my partner and I have been talking about is the seemingly boring but utterly important matter of policy.
The Curious Case of Silvio Berlusconi
An article in the New York Times helps me to see that focusing on policy over personality is an effective strategy that was proven in Italy in the face of the outrageous and dangerous person of Silvio Berlusconi, who had been prime minister for nearly a decade.
In Luigi Zingales' opinion piece, The Right Way to Resist Trump, he warns:
Mr. Berlusconi was able to govern Italy for as long as he did mostly thanks to the incompetence of his opposition. It was so rabidly obsessed with his personality that any substantive political debate disappeared; it focused only on personal attacks, the effect of which was to increase Mr. Berlusconi's popularity. His secret was an ability to set off a Pavlovian reaction among his leftist opponents, which engendered instantaneous sympathy in most moderate voters. Mr. Trump is no different.
He then provides analysis on how the US reaction to Trump mirrors how Italians' futile attempts of stopping Burlusconi. He also outlines how the opposition finally found a way to defeat the prime minister. He ends with advice to Americans seeking to contain the damage of a Trump presidency and limited the time he is in office.
If you are wondering how we might respond to a Trump presidency, take some time and read: The Right Way to Resist Trump

Varicent Software is sitting pretty on our leaderboard, coming off a red-letter year in 2009. Last fall, the vendor not only notched a record-breaking year in revenue, but also netted $35 million in funding from FTV Capital. Jim Dickie, managing partner at CSO Insights, says that one of Varicent's strengths is handling "very complex plans for very large companies." Recently, however, Varicent has been making moves to break out of this mold and into the midmarket, announcing plans to use its FTV funding to increase penetration. While shifting customer focus can be problematic, Varicent's best-in-category rating for company direction (4.1) proves the vendor is steering its ship with agility.
Xactly was one of the first to exclusively offer IM as a software-as-a-service solution. Half a decade later—and after gobbling up rival Centive—Xactly has established itself as the king of on-demand IM. Not a bad title to hold, all things considered: Gartner predicts that, by 2011, more than 60 percent of IM software projects will be hosted. Cutting-edge moves, such as the outreach to very small companies with Xactly's Incent Express and innovations in processing non-commission-based rewards, make Xactly "a very hot company" according to Paul Greenberg, founder and president of consultancy The 56 Group (and this year's Hall of Fame inductee; see page 25). Rebecca Wettemann, vice president of research at Nucleus Research, praises Xactly for "making its product very intuitive to use and report on." If the vendor continues to push the market, we can expect the temperature to rise in 2011.
Softscape, a provider of people management solutions, snagged our One to Watch title this year by keeping its finger on the pulse of the market. Leslie Ament, research director and managing partner at Hypatia Research, says that the Softscape Incentive Compensation Suite provides "modules that offer organizations an à la carte approach…making this an affordable solution for companies of all sizes"—a strategy that plays into the trend toward IM for small and large companies alike. Ventana Research's Smith applauds Softscape's ability to manage the full workforce, answering customer demand for solutions that apply beyond the sales force.

Awesome people to work with I am glad I found. They are very professional and friendly. A special thanks to Tina. Again fantastic people to work with.
I have been a customer here for several years and absolutely love Diane Hoffman, the storage manager. She is always so helpful and wonderful to deal with. The facility is always clean and well-maintained. She would be happy to help you with your needs.
We trailered bikes from Iowa to daytona and researched the area for storage units for the pickup and 26 ft trailer. Diane was exceedingly friendly and most accommodating by phone. She more than met and exceeded all expectations for a clean and well secure facility. Her compassion for excellence earns high ratings and we will definitely be back for storage needs on future trips. I highly recommend using Aloma Storage. Thanks again Diane for your hospitality on a side note. It was a fabulous trip.
Very happy first time storage users!
100% satisfied with our first time storage unit needs! Rented an air conditioned unit for four months and were very happy with the unit and especially the helpful, courteous staff! We will definitely use their services again! Thank you!
Aloma Self-Storage is the best value!
Diane, the manager at the Oviedo Location, is one of the best representations of a great customer service that we have had in a long time! She is extremely personable and makes you feel like family when you come in to the building. She welcomes you warmly and is very quick with responses to e-mails. We love storing and working with her!
I have about four storage facilities around me and I'm very glad I shopped around. Aloma Self Storage was much cheaper than the others, and they did it without all the "gimmicks". I went in there, was greeted extremely professionally and given a price for the size unit I wanted. The manager, Diane, was wonderful as she showed me the unit, I agreed to rent it and she was back immediately to sweep and spray the unit. I have never been there when the gate has been left open, nor have I ever gone there and been unable to get in through the gate. I would highly recommend this facility.
Did a couple of hours research for a storage around Orlando that had all the needs that me and my band needed, we got this perfect location and with the 24/7 access, clean facilities, good location, and a nice staff to help you out filling paperwork and setting you up in just a couple of mins. Nice detail on giving you a free padlock though! Price is fair compared to other locations in a couple of miles radius vs accessibility and time.

« The Secret Life of My Computer
Dear Folks: March 23, 1997 »
As Individuals We Learn, As Organizations We Resist
Though we humans grandly call ourselves Homo sapiens, "man the wise," we also carry on a constant debate about how smart we really are. The argument goes on, because the answer isn't obvious. There's plenty of evidence of our brilliance and of our enduring foolishness.
The ultimate intelligence test is coming from the environment. Are we smart enough to stop destroying our own support systems?
I could argue either way. Clearly we can learn from our mistakes — we seem to be programmed to be learning creatures. But our rate of making mistakes might exceed our rate of learning, especially since we learn so much more slowly as organizations than we do as individuals.
Take the fisheries for example. Over the past 20 years one after another of the great ocean fisheries has collapsed, exhausted by overfishing. Individuals warned against every one of those crashes. Each could have been taken as a lesson to forestall the next. Many fishermen saw the end coming, but went right on fishing, and their commercial organizations denied any problem and resisted attempts at control. Some are resisting still.
Pretty dumb. But there are counter-examples. The New England lobster fishery regulated itself early on to ensure the long-term availability of lobsters. And cod and haddock fishers, having wiped out the enormous resource of George's Bank, are now redefining their mission, I am told, to include the restoration and protection not just of cod and haddock, but of the whole ocean ecosystem that upholds those fish.
It comes a bit late, but that's real learning.
Ecologists have known for decades that clearcutting is destructive, that it opens soils to erosion, extinguishes forest species and decreases the likelihood that a similar forest will grow back. People in industry and government laugh at those claims. Even the landslides in the Pacific northwest this year, slides that killed people and buried houses and roads, slides associated in every case with logging, have not stimulated any apparent learning in the clearcutting industry.
But there are breaks in the ranks. Recently I wrote an anti-clearcutting column. Shortly afterward I received an email message from a forestry school. Mostly it consisted of unprintable remarks from students making fun of my column. But the sender added: "Dear Professor Meadows. Unfortunately forestry students still think they have to talk this way to get jobs. But I want you to know that a lot of us agree with you. Clearcutting is not a sustainable or ethical way to harvest trees."
Learning and resistance to learning. The race between education and catastrophe. Yesterday I got a fax from a logged-over town in Canada. It contained a recent paper from Nature showing that clearcutting changes the nitrogen chemistry of forest soils, inhibiting the growth of fir, the tree of value, the one the companies boast of replanting.
Canada has more than 4 million acres of failed replantings. The Nature paper explains why. But the fax also quoted an industry spokesman who refused to believe it. "I think this guy is … pulling the wool over people's eyes. If trees wanted to be in the shade, they wouldn't have long, wooden stems to get their leaves up above the other plants. They would have been shrubs."
Homo sapiens can figure out complex soil chemistry; Homo economicus can refuse to take in inconvenient information. Which side of us will prevail?
I shouldn't bash economics; last month there was a great demonstration of learning by economists. Two thousand of them, headed by six Nobel Prize winners, not only admitted that climate change is real, but told the government what to do about it.
"We believe that global climate change carries with it significant environmental, economic, social, and geopolitical risks, and that preventive steps are justified," they said. "There are many potential policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for which the total benefits outweigh the total costs." They recommended carbon taxes and emissions permits.
My environmentalist friends, who generally fear the worst about our collective human intelligence, point out that scientists knew about greenhouse gases for roughly a hundred years before economists accepted that knowledge. Oil and coal companies are still fighting it. At the rate they're going, it will take our politicians another hundred years before they'll allow the words "carbon tax" to be spoken in their presence. By then the planet will be cooked.
Scientists learn, the pessimists would say, because that's their business. (Unaffiliated scientists, anyway, those not employed by industry or government.) Then citizens' organizations pick up the information. Then (unaffiliated) economists, and finally corporations and governments. It takes forever for knowledge to penetrate places of power. Given the rate at which we do damage, the rate of institutional learning is way too slow.
There are days when I agree. But I know people in government, people in corporations, even fossil fuel company executives, who worry about global warming.

Q: How can I get rid of unwanted changes in a git branch / pull request? Common scenario: A contributor sends a pull request containing 1 or 2 useful changes plus a ton of (unwanted by me) whitespace changes made automatically by his IDE.
Of course I can tell him to adjust his IDE, and to use tools like GitX to stage specific changes before committing, but the damage is done; either he has to re-commit & force push, I have to accept all the changes, or one of us has to add an "undo" commit before merging.
Is there an easier way?
Ideally I could merge just like the commit process in GitX: I could unstage specific changes from the branch, and the tool would either auto-rewrite the commits or make an "undo" commit before merging.

A: You get rid of the whitespace changes locally, the developer will see all the whitespace changes you didn't accept as changes against her version, and so on. Just misery spread all around.
The only way out is to agree on one whitespace style (perhaps enforced by the tools, or done by external tools before commiting). Uniformly for all.

A: Personally, I would tell the contributor to make the changes and recommit + force push the changes. Since the contributor is probably working on a feature branch in a fork of your repo (the "origin"), nobody is following his commits. There is no real damage if the contributor rewrites the history on a branch that nobody is following and that will probably be deleted after you pull the changes in. For that matter, the contributor could also create a new feature branch which has the final merge-able changes, make a new pull request, and delete the old branch and pull request (so that there is no history rewriting).

The sports rorts saga is now a big test for the Senate — and Morrison has some wheeling and dealing to do
analysis: The sports rorts saga is now a big test for the Senate — and Morrison has some wheeling and dealing to do

Among the (many) tensions of day-to-day political reporting is the need to reveal things that may seem inexplicably outrageous to those outside the political process, but also to explain why these inexplicable things have happened.
For example, a party room coup against a prime minister might seem like a cunning stunt to the political apparatchiks in the party, but like a really bad idea to voters who were living under the misapprehension that it was them who got to change the prime minister.
The challenge is to be able to see, and report, on things using two completely different parts of your brain, and sometimes magnetically opposing moral compasses.

Reporting just on the manoeuvrings is the sort of stuff that our Prime Minister likes to dismiss as coming from "the Canberra bubble": that is, political machinations which the average punter doesn't care about.
Reporting purely on the outrages of maladministration, or bad policy (without the context of the manoeuvrings) can equally sound just a little shrill and unworldly.
What's the bigger picture?
And then there's the grinding nature of stories that gradually unfold over days or weeks, leaving everyone a little glazed-eyed and confused about where the bigger picture is going.
How many people, for example, responded to stories on Friday about a $150 million electoral slush fund — known as the Female Facilities and Water Safety Stream (FFWSS) — by asking out loud whether this was a different one to all the other grants programs that have been under the spotlight of late?
The parliamentary year is off to a wild start
The aftershocks of the sports rorts affair have been major, but the Government has two things to smile about this week, writes Michelle Grattan.
In fact, even the Prime Minister got confused when he was asked about the scheme in Townsville on Friday, thinking he was being asked about the $100 million Community Sports Infrastructure Fund, now so infamously overseen, in a colour-coded way, by Bridget McKenzie.
Stories rich in detail and political manoeuvring are not the sole preserve of Australian politics of course.
How many people in the UK, for example, had any idea at all what politicians — or journalists — were talking about in all the iterations of Brexit negotiations over the past couple of years?
And most spectacularly, before the caravan moves on, let's stop and consider the impeachment of US President Donald Trump.
They voted not to know anything
Let's put aside for a moment the actual issues at stake here — that the US President was prepared to use American foreign policy to achieve a domestic political hit on an opponent, in a particularly volatile part of the world — and consider the bigger, and smaller, picture.
This was a story which was always framed in much reporting by the context of previous impeachment attempts, particularly those of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

But, quite reasonably, the day-to-day reporting became about the machinations being used by the Democrats and Republicans to progress, or stymie, the process of impeachment. This is the normal stuff of politics.
But it is sometimes worth sitting back and just remembering what has happened at the end of the day.
With one or two honourable exceptions, the Republicans in the US Senate didn't just vote not to impeach Trump, they voted not to know anything.
They voted against hearing from witnesses.
And the potential witnesses who were already on the public record were hardly minor bureaucrats down the feed chain.
Excuses, excuses
They included Trump's own former national security adviser John Bolton, who confirmed that Trump had told him that he would withhold military aid from Ukraine until it acceded to Trump's demands for politically motivated investigations. Bolton said he was willing to testify.
They also possibly included Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, who backed Bolton, saying he believed his account.
Donald Trump has been acquitted. Here's what that means
Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial is over. Here's a really simple guide to help you understand what that all means.
Republicans voted not to hear from any more witnesses, even though many of them put on the record their belief that Trump had acted exactly as alleged.
There were all sorts of excuses for this, such as that it was the job of the House of Representatives to develop the case for Trump's Senate impeachment trial.
Republican senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said she would not vote to convict Trump even though his attempts to get Ukraine to investigate the son of Democratic presidential aspirant Joe Biden were "shameful and wrong".
"Based on what we heard, clearly a factor in that was the President was looking for a certain action from President Zelensky as it related to the Bidens," she said. "I believe that."
Apparently though, the real fault lay with the House and the "rank partisanship" in the Senate
"So many in this chamber share my sadness for the present state of our institutions. It's my hope that we've finally found bottom here," she said.

An unaccountable government isn't unfamiliar
The path to getting to an impeachment vote lay in agreeing to hear more witnesses. And by denying that, the Senate was not forced to listen or expose the President's actions
"No witnesses, no documents in an impeachment trial is a perfidy," said the Senator Minority Leader, Democrat Chuck Schumer.
"It is a grand tragedy. America will remember this day, unfortunately, where the Senate did not live up to its responsibilities."
The lack of curiosity, and the growing chutzpah of governments who think they can remain unaccountable, is sadly not unfamiliar to us here.

In the past week, we have watched the Prime Minister rely on the report of our most senior public servant, Phil Gaetjens, to allegedly clear his Government of any wrongdoing over the sports rorts affair, despite what the auditor-general, who is a legislated servant of the Parliament, not the executive, has said about this scheme.
Despite relying on the report, Scott Morrison refuses to release it, claiming dubious precedents and being cavalier about the damage it does to the reputation of the public service when he asserts its contents.
And as the week ended, we have watched the reputation of the Australian Federal Police shredded by its splendid lack of curiosity about the involvement of ministers of the crown or their officers in distributing forged documents designed to damage political opponents.
This will be an important test
What hope for any of this to change?
The Senate has voted for an inquiry into the sports rorts affair. Its powers in relation to executive government are different to the relationship between the President and the Congress.
It can demand the appearance of ministers (if they are senators), and documents (potentially including the Gaetjens report), and even public servants, though not ministerial staff.
Is it Barnaby's time again? There's no easy answer for the Nationals
Bridget McKenzie's resignation is the latest mess in a string for the Nationals over the past few years, and the biggest test now is whether the party can clean itself up and unite, writes Lucy Barbour.
Governments of both persuasions have fought off Senate demands for information in the past.
This will be an important test of the Senate crossbench. Will Senators like Pauline Hanson sense the public mood is angry enough about all the pork-barrelling done by the Coalition in the lead-up to last year's election to back any Senate push for evidence, like the release of the Gaetjens report?
The Senate has procedural measures it can use to ramp up the pressure on the Government, like refusing to deal with government business unless a document is provided.
If the Senate crossbench backs such moves, we may actually find out a bit more about how the Government operates.
But the crossbench is at the heart of political wheeling and dealing.
Getting the Government out of a tight spot might just involve the sort of trade-off on legislation to which we have become so accustomed.

A review of the catches of albacore tuna by local and foreign licensed longliners and transshipment of albacore in Mauritius, 2014 -2018
IOTC-2019-WPTmT07(AS)-05_Rev1

This paper focuses on the catches of albacore tuna made by the local and foreign licensed longliners and the transshipment of albacore over the last five years.
Majority of the foreign licensed longliners comes from the Asian countries namely Taiwan Province of China, Indonesia, Korea, People's Republic of China and Malaysia. In 2018, one hundred and
ninety nine fishing licences were issued to the foreign tuna longliners. The catches increased from 5 686 tons in 2014 to 10 079 tons in 2018 while the percentage of albacore in the total catch varied
between 37.6% and 49.1%. The highest percentage, 49.1% was recorded in 2015. Majority of the catch that is 87% is attributed to the Taiwan, Province of China fleet. The latter holds the highest
number of fishing licences and is the most active among the foreign fleets operating in the EEZ of Mauritius. The fishing areas during the past five years (2014 to 2018), extended across latitudes 00
to 320 S and longitudes 44 0 to 810 E. Albacore tuna are caught as by-catch by the Mauritian longline fleet comprising fishing boats of less than 24 meters in length. These vessels target swordfish and they operate inside the EEZs of Mauritius and Mozambique. It is to be noted that from 2014 to 2018, 4% to 15% of their caches comprised albacore tuna. In 2018, 13 boats were operational and their total catch amounted to 821 tons. For those operating in the EEZ of Mauritius, the spatial distribution extended from latitudes 100 to 210 S and longitudes 54 0 to 660 E while those operating in the EEZ of Mozambique, were
active between latitudes 130 to 270 S and longitudes 34 0 to 420 E. Albacore tuna are transshipped by both licensed and unlicensed fishing vessels mainly longliners calling at Port Louis. Over the past five years (2014 to 2018), an average of 49 800 tons of tuna and tuna-like species were transshipped yearly with a corresponding average of 45% of albacore tuna.

Q: How to /testfor a named item in a player's inventory? I'm working on a PVP map that I have posted to pmc so random people can download it and play it with their friends. My problem is, each kit has a special buff (potion effect) but when they die it leaves them.
I need this to make kinda like a loop that when they have like some armor on when they die it will test for that armor and give more potion effects.

A: Here is a solution that will give anyone wearing a leather chestplate named Hero's Tunic the tag Wearing.  This tag can then be used to target that person for the effect.  Commands are for 1.12.2.
Note: Using only these commands, if a player ever wears the chestplate, they will be tagged and the effect will be applied forever, even if no longer wearing the chestplate. (unless the tag is manually removed via a command)

Make command block that is RepeatUnconditionalAlways Active with command:
scoreboard players tag @a add Wearing {Inventory:[{Slot:102b,id:"minecraft:leather_chestplate",tag:{display:{Name:"Hero's Tunic"}}}]}

Here is an example command that gives them a level 2 slowness effect for 1 second.  This will be a constant effect if the command is placed into a RepeatUnconditionalAlways Active command block:
effect @a[tag=Wearing] minecraft:slowness 1 2

To remove the tag from a player:
/scoreboard players tag <player_name> remove Wearing

Replace <player_name> with the name of the player that you want to remove the tag from.

To remove the tag from all players:
/scoreboard players tag @a remove Wearing

Edit:  Response to comments.
To have more tags for more pieces of armor you would change the first command:
scoreboard players tag @a add <tagName> {Inventory:[{Slot:102b,id:"minecraft:leather_chestplate",tag:{display:{Name:"..."}}}]}

Replace <tagName> with whatever name you like.  You could use numbers if wanted.  (Wearing1, Wearing2, etc)  You could also use other names that describe whatever you like.  Example: WearingHerosTunic  You can use a different tag for each different chest plate.
Then use those tags in the other commands:
effect @a[tag=WearingHerosTunic] minecraft:slowness 1 2

A: Well, honestly it's quite simple, this might not work on Java but I do know it works on bedrock
/execute @a[nbt={Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:diamond_sword"}]}] ~~~ /effect @s slowness 1 2 true
Because the @s is there it will effect the player with the item(s) only

Was your childhood tragic enough to murder your inner child?
Unfortunately, as an adult survivor, you may have blocked bad memories enough to deny your inner child their opportunity to thrive.
Your inner child has been hiding for too long. Accept the fact that you were once a child, then give the inner YOU that's been longing to come out permission to play.
1. Expand your 5 senses. Look at all the beauty that surrounds you. Take time to observe sunrises, sunsets, stars, moonlight, and nature. Listen to bird calls, children playing, trees rustling, happy music, and people laughing. Smell the aroma of food, flowers, and bubble baths. Touch finger paints, sand, the garden, and a baby's small pink feet. Taste life.
2. Sing Silly Songs. Singing a song out loud is good for you. It is an aerobic activity that increases the oxygen flow in your body, and reduces stress. The lyrics you choose can effect your emotional well being, so grab the karaoke and make up a song. Remember, if you can't sing well, sing loud!
3. Watch a lot of animation. Animation is engaging, filled with color and positively delightful; a terrific medium to affirm, enrich, and collect experiences that make you forget about the seriousness of every day life. Few things can touch your heart at the speed of classic Disney.
4. Go to children's places. Family, friendly, and fun-oriented places for children are great stomping grounds to find and feel your inner child. Places like zoos, children's museums, and parks all reflect a diversity of childhood behaviors that can trigger feelings of enthusiasm and emotion that may be missing in your daily life.
5. Create a concept board. Think about what your ideal childhood would be. Browse through child-friendly magazines or websites and cut out pictures or ideas that represent the perfect childhood. Maybe it's a pink bedroom, toys, books, or Disneyland. Glue your pictures onto a poster board so you have a visual representation of childhood, filled with imagery and words to capture the child inside of you.
6. Play with children's toys. When a child plays it is hands-down one of the most important activities to learn about people, the environment, and to be creative. Children have an amazing amount of energy and imagination. Toys play an important role in helping us become imaginative and confident adults. Take time out from being an adult and choose some fun toys to rediscover your inner child.
7. Read children's literature. Children's literature offers frivolity, colorful characters and an author's message that can quickly capture the essence of childhood. Whether it's a journey reading The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, The Westing Game by Ellen Rasking, or a fairy tale, you can discover great principles of life by devouring children's literature and feeding your inner child.
8. Play games. Whether it's video games, boardgames, or hide-n-seek, you will find everyone's inner child comes out to play when games are introduced into a setting. There's something magical about abandoning your inhibitions and reliving the memories of your own once upon a time.
9. Look at photos of childhood. Photos invoke a great deal of emotion. A picture's worth a thousand words, and maybe a million memories. Even if your childhood was a cold oasis absent of laughter, you can use other people's images of a happy childhood to cement your own thoughts of roller coasters, hot dogs and cotton candy.
10. Have a Happy Un-birthday. Birthdays represent milestones in our life. What is your idea of the perfect birthday party? Tons of presents, attention, a huge cake or a quiet gathering with friends and presents you've picked out? Whatever image you have in your mind, make it happen with a "Happy Un-birthday to You" and recapture the celebratory spirit only a birthday party can bring.
Allowing yourself to play without worry of your public image or guilt helps redefine the inner child that is hiding inside of you. Climb a hill or ride a Ferris Wheel with your new best friend…YOU!
