Q: Matching Individuals to a single group I have to match students to their teachers using students' id and their teachers' id. One student can be paired with only one teacher. However, a student may have multiple entries with the same teacher. I want to retain only the cases where students are matched to a single unique teacher. Here is an example to the data frame.
    CHID <- c(111,111,111,112,112,113,113,113,113,114), TEAID <- c(115,115,115,162,165,168,168,168,187,119), SCORE <- c(56,56,56,55,55,58,58,58,58,64)
From these data, I want to retain students with CHID's 111 and 114 since they are matched to one and only one unique teacher. Can some please help with an r-code for performing this task? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

A: Here's a solution using dplyr package -
df <- data.frame(
CHID = c(111,111,111,112,112,113,113,113,113,114),
TEAID = c(115,115,115,162,165,168,168,168,187,119),
SCORE = c(56,56,56,55,55,58,58,58,58,64)
)

group_by(df, CHID) %>% filter(n_distinct(TEAID) == 1) %>% ungroup()

# A tibble: 4 x 3
#    CHID TEAID SCORE
#   <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
# 1   111   115  56.0
# 2   111   115  56.0
# 3   111   115  56.0
# 4   114   119  64.0

Here's a solution without any foreign packages -
df[ave(df$TEAID, df$CHID, FUN = function(x) length(unique(x))) == 1, ]

#    CHID TEAID SCORE
# 1   111   115    56
# 2   111   115    56
# 3   111   115    56
# 10  114   119    64

Have you seen it? I have and I think I'm in love... though I'm still trying to be skeptical about it? Would I use it enough to justify the purchase?
I mostly want it for books, but the fact that it can do so many other things is a plus! I was forever waiting on the price of the kindle to come down, but now this makes me question the kindle? My house is being taken over by all the books I have, and not that I won't still want to purchase a few books, I think this will be a great addition for my reading library alone.


Good professional and trade associations can bring a lot of value to their members. They provide wonderful networking opportunities, relevant training and education, great vendor discounts, and one strong voice powered by the strength of all the members. They also send the message that the companies and individuals who are members are trustworthy.
Even with all this going for them, many associations tend to be too idle when it comes to staying current with the latest technology and, according to the post, 5 Technology Trends Every Association Exec Should Follow, investing in exceptional talent. But this is a huge disservice to association members and their businesses.
Two of the most important things association leaders can invest in to avoid becoming complacent, and outdated, are member engagement and a good Association Management System.
In the simplest sense, your Applicant Management System (AMS) is computer software that enables you to collect, store and track information, as well as provide members with your information and services. With the right system, however, it becomes a way to generate interest, connect with members often and cultivate relationships.
It's important to select an AMS that is built on an open platform that is highly configurable so you can continue to add or modify options as your needs change. In addition to being able to spread out costs over a longer time period, the great thing about investing in a platform that allows you to add on stand-alone products at your convenience is that you don't have to have all the answers about what you need before you actually know what you need.
While you may find that your specific needs change and grow, one constant will be the ease of use. Be sure you have an AMS that emphasizes quick data search, sort and retrieval, easy administration and dynamic web capabilities.
A good AMS will also be pivotal in successfully engaging association members. With one system that collects and contains all member information and activity, you can analyze the data to adapt your focus.
Stay aware of what members really want and need. Provide the kind of information, assistance and services that help them solve problems and address their concerns. And do it in a variety of ways so you capture their attention and continue to keep them interested.
When you know your audience, you can actively engage with them through regular emails, video posts and seminars, social media and virtual communities. Many options for staying connected can be automated through your AMS while still conveying a personal feeling. The key is to keep in touch and continue to provide significant information and resources your members find valuable.
Engaged members use association services, provide feedback, are active in online forums, attend meetings, network with other members, offer suggestions and ideas, and are advocates of the association.
And, an added benefit of having engaged members and a great AMS is that you will have plenty of information available, at your fingertips, to search for potentially great talent to add to the association's leadership or administrative team.
There are many great options available to help you keep your association current and valuable. If you're not sure where to start, or have questions about improving your current association management strategy, please visit TalentCircles.com, call us at 888-280-0808 or email sales@talentcircles.com.

. . . and my journey to relating to money in healthier waysA Personal History of Money . . .
I got an email today that was a response to a blog post I made 7 years ago. I had totally forgotten I had started this blog 12 years ago, and had last posted 7 years ago.
The saddest thing is that I have not changed any of my personal savings/spending habits, but, of course, life has happened anyway and I'm facing even more dire circumstances than when I last posted.
My wife finally moved out to her own place in 2013. I never sold the house we raised our kids in. All three kids have moved out. My wife and I never got divorced.
In April of 2018 I lost my job, caught up in a division wide layoff. And I haven't been able to find a new job since. I got severance, but that runs out in a week or two. I qualified for unemployment insurance, which I got for the maximum 26 weeks, but now that has run out.
My wife and I have health insurance via COBRA for another year, but the premium for COBRA is 4 times what I paid for insurance when employed.
I have about two months worth of expenses in savings, and then my next recourse is my 401(k). But, my wife and I are finally moving forward with the divorce, where we will split my 401(k), which is really meager, considering I worked at the same place for 20 years.
I have changed little in my approach to money since I started this blog in 2006, and I'm reaping the "benefits" of my bad habits.
But maybe I'll post a little more .... at least until I get distracted again.
Well, I haven't moved an inch in resolving any of my money situations since I started this blog six weeks ago. I haven't even kept up with a committment to continue posting here . . . or to start tracking what I spend.
This year, like all Thanksgivings, I got paid on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Made the week before go by effortlessly -- woo-hoo! I get paid early. "Splurged" and got shoes for all three of my kids. Bought unbudgeted tickets for a holiday performance my daughter is performing in. Made good on a couple of unpaid bills. Paid some current bills.
Thanksgiving morning, I realized I had spent all my paycheck, except maybe enough to but gas for the car for two weeks.
And, of course, the next paycheck, coming on the usual Friday, is two days LATER than this one.
My wife (we're estranged but still living in the same place) is a proponent of the Laws of Abundance, that mystical (though some might say self-evident) approach to money. I've read the books she has pushed on me and I've made faint-hearted attempts to greet each day with an acknowledgement that the world is an abundant place, that every dollar I need is already there in the universe.
What gets me through the weekend is knowing that I have only one unpaid bill that is likely to generate a phone call, and that I may get through the weekend without having to spend any more money.
But mentally and psychically, I feel bankrupt. Which, of course, is the opposite of feeling abundant.
An important addendum -- the Friday before Thanksgiving my wife was in a serious car accident. She's fine -- she walked away from a crash scene in which four cars were totalled. Insurance will take care of any lingering health issues, as well as the car replacement. There is the mental trauma she has to overcome, plus the inevitable hassles of dealing with insurance companies and car dealers.
So, the basic thanksgiving this year, especially for our three kids, was that she survived. Material goods and needs pale in comparison.
Are there people on this site who write about the Laws of Attraction -- the notion that thinking and acting positively about money and abundance and thinking and worrying about money and lack of abundance will keep you poor?
I'll admit that I'm very skeptical of the concept. I am by nature an optimist, except when it comes to money, where I see six months down the line and can see what I will be bringing in and what will be going out.
Although I don't look six months down the line -- I usually look two weeks down the line, to the next paycheck, and now, I'm looking two days down the line, when I have to buy gas again and I don'y have the money to do so.
So, what do you usually do when you you are 10 days away from payday and you have 20 dollars in your bank account, not even enough to keep your gas tank full until the next paycheck rolls around?
Aside from the initial negative body reaction when you realize you've underestimated what was in your account by $150, how do YOU react when you are faced with this situation?
This isn't a short-term situation, by the way. The next paycheck, in 10 days, is already almost all accounted for. and I'm already late on paying bills. so, i'm in a hole that's getting deeper.
In recent weeks I've read a bit about how people think about money and how your views about money are shaped by what you heard about money growing up.
Which astounds me, in that I grew up in a healthy atmosphere regarding money, and yet little of that healthy attitude rubbed off on me.
I'm from a large family, in a solidly middle classs suburban environment. Only my dad worked out of the house. He had a basic middle management office job in insurance for most of his working life. What I remember as a kid is that he left the house at the same day every work morning, walking to the train station, and came hom just about the same time.
All but one of my siblings went to school, with my parents paying a good part of everyone's education.
I learned only much later that my mom brought some money into the marriage -- most likely investments that she received from her father. This probably helped with the college cost.
My parents encouraged all of us to work as soon as we could -- paper routes, baby sitting, retail jobs in high school. We all had bank accounts at an early age. I even had my own stock investment when I was about 10 or 11 years old. A great aunt died and left my mom some money. My parents bought a small amount of stock for each child in a conservative consumer products company.
So, by the time I was in high school I had experienced what it was like to have a bank book, a little savings, and this mysterious stock which I didn't really understand until I was in college.
There was nothing that I experienced, or that I remember, that would have set me off on a path of not thinking about money in healthy and productive ways.
But, as it turned out, since I got my first job out of college 25 years ago, I have basically lived from paycheck to paycheck. Fortunately, I've never missed a paycheck in 25 years. But I've never amassed a rainy day fund, or a college fund for my kids. Credit cards were my rainy day fund.
More about stocks and credit cards later.
As far as I know, all of my siblings are conservative and smart with their personal finance. All are married -- most spouses work. Incomes and lifestyles vary. But all seemed to know from an early age that budgeting was smart and large credit card balances were bad.
I have never budgeted, other than on an emergency basis, i.e., I have $100 to last until Friday and I have to buy gas and lunches for the kids and some school supplies and this and that.
I think it has been 25 years since I had a zero balance on any credit card.
Somewhere, right around the time I finished school, my thoughts about money changed in a bad way. It started using me instead of me using it.
So what brings me to this semi-anonymous blogging site?
I have a good-paying job (above the median), a house, three kids, a hefty mortgage, too much consumer credit, and less than $100 in my checking account.
My wife works -- self-employed -- but our marriage is dissolving, so we have spent the last couple of years trying to keep our finances separate.
Neither one of us can afford to buy the other out of his/her share of the yhouse's equity, so we live together in terse, slightly tense companionship.
I am perputally short of money at the end of a pay period.
I have a 401(k) -- underfunded, but it's there. (I also have two loans from it that I am paying back, so I can't depend on it for any short-term help at the moment).
I pay for the family's health insurance through work. I have life insurance so the family is protected financially if something happens to me.
I have no savings (I have a savings account, but there's 32 cents in it) and a checking account that it down to zero every two weeks.
I have about $7,000 in consumer credit (three cards) and a brand new car payment (I just replaced a 12-year-old car that had 180,000 miles on it).
I have a fair amount of deferred maintenance around the house. The basics are OK -- the roof is solid, the furnace is just a couple of years old.
But I can't do simple things like contemplate the $300 it will take to buy a new garbage disposal and get it installed. Or fix up the basement so the kids have a space away from the main floor to hang out with friends. My eldest will start college next fall and we have zero dollars saved for this.
So, that's where I've living now. It's a beautiful long fall weekend and I couldn't even contemplate a day trip out of town because I don't have the money for gas and wouldn't have any money to spend on things like food once we got out of town.
I'm now 48 and I've worked almost consistently since I was about 12. Newspaper route, grocery store clerk, retail clerk, newspaper ntern, law firm intern, freelance editor, bookstore manager, writer/editor for a business publisher.
I come from a large family and working was just expected from everyone. Being a boy in the 70s, there were a few more opportunities to start from. I inherited a paper route from an older brother and then got my own. When I was 15, I got a job at a small local grocery store.
The grocery store owner had dropped out of third grade to sell fruit and vegetables from a cart. He worked for annother man for a while but eventually opened his own store. He catered to an upper middle class clientele in a suburb.
I worked every day after school and all day six days a week during the summer and school holidays. It's still one of the best jobs I had; I worked there until the summer before my third year of college.
The owner would make light fun of my academic interests -- he had made it without formal schooling and thought anyone could, with the right attitude. But going to college was what did in our community.
I worked there at a time when pay envelopes were actually cash in envelopes. I remember the feeling of joy I had getting that envelope every week -- all that money was mine.
I don't remember having a particular savings scheme back then, but I must have saved a lot. ihad only two vices in high school -- books and music. so, i saved a lot, and when I went off to college I had a few thousand dollars saved.
I went to an expensive college, although the cost compared to college prices these days seems quaintly inexpensive. My parents paid most of the cost for the first two years. Between my jobs and student loans, I paid for most of the last two years.
I suppose that one turning point for me and my relation with money was the summer betwen my junior and senior year of college. I was renting an apartment with friends and, when summer came, instead of moving back home, Istayedin the apartment with friends. As it turned out, though I didn't plan it this way, I had moved out of my parents' house for good.
I come from a large family and all of my siblings, except for me, moved back home for a few years after college. But I, with no real plan in mind, had effectively moved out when I was 20.
I had roommates and we lived in typically unluxurious surroundings (for students) but still, I was paying rent and paying utilities and buying food, all while working just a little because I was still in school.
The longest period of time that I lived without a paycheck was the six months after I finished college. I was done with classes in March and graduated in June. I got a job as a clerk in bookstore that September. Well-educated, loaded up with college debt, I took a minimum wage job in the city.
I worked at that store for as long as I worked in the grocery store in high school and college, and it was my second favorite job. I barely squeaked by, but I loved it.
Why is it that the two favorite jobs I had in my life were the ones that paid me the least? And why do I feel, in retrospect, that I was so much wealthier and connected then, when I was so financially poorer, than I am now?


Remember HBO's wonderfully crafted Westworld series? Well, there's a new trailer for its second season. If you haven't watched the first season, beware; there are a few spoilers here.
The Westworld trailer shows us what happened to the amusement park after the end of the first season. The best part – it's loaded with Easter eggs.
Take this one: there's a hidden message from a code in the trailer. This code links to the Delos website (the fictional company in the show), and the site shows a short video clip.
You'll visit another part of the site. And with it, more Easter eggs, which you need to see for yourself. In other words, they're all part of HBO's sneaky viral marketing for the show.
But the part we're most excited about? Shogun World, which is another part of the amusement park. As its name suggests, it's themed after ancient Japan where samurai (and probably ninjas) roam.


Summary: This latest entry in These Savage Shores is as stunning as it is beautiful, and poses the question "what makes a monster?"
In the wake of Hyder Ali's betrayal, Bishan is out for blood. What makes a man a monster? These Savage Shores #4 explores this question in this tale of supernatural horror set against the backdrop of colonial era India. Written by Ram V, illustrated by Sumit Kumar, colored by Vittorio Astone and lettered by Aditya Bidikar, this issue in the series is just as beautiful and compelling as the previous entries.
With his company slain due to the sultan's treachery, Bishan prowls the night in his bestial form slaughtering British soldiers and striking fear into the hearts of the enemy. Meanwhile the prince pleads for Bishan to return home. The vampires have come to Vikrampura in search of the one responsible for the death of one of their brood and close in on the palace. With no other recourse, the palace defenders turn to their prisoner for aid—the vampire hunter, Zachariah Sturn.
In contrast to the sweltering heat felt in the earlier parts of this series, the tone in this issue is much darker. The shading and shadows are a much murkier, shadowy affair, which fits the growing darkness of Bishan's journey as he drifts closer to his true raakshas nature. There is plenty of blood and carnage in this issue, all rendered with a real and visceral feeling. Some of the scenes during the battle with the undead horde later in the issue are particularly spectacular.
In today's pop culture, vampires feel too watered down or overdone. That's not the case in These Savage Shores. These vampires are more of a return to their roots. These are monstrous demonic creatures that certainly don't sparkle. They'll tear you limb from limb, and revert to a powerful more sinister form that's drawn in such an awe inspiring manner.
Bishan and Kori's tree has undergone such a huge transformation from the start of the series, having served as a metaphor for the events of the story. What began as lush and full is now withered and dying. It's such a powerful symbol and Sumit Kumar and Vittorio Astone have done such a wonderful job representing its change.
When I was first introduced to These Savage Shores, it was a break from my usual sort of book. I'm not typically into stories involving vampires. Ram V and his team have fully won me over with this series. I'm eagerly anticipating the next entry! These Savage Shores is as powerful as it is beautiful. The story sticks with me for weeks after I've finished reading. A stunning work of art, and a joy to read! Giving this another perfect score.

Air alert: 8 dangerous drone incidents
Buzzing the White House, paralyzing airports, crashing into planes and power lines — we highlight the dangers of drones.
Igor Kuksov
Civilian UAVs are used increasingly frequently for photo and video shooting, cargo delivery, search-and-rescue operations, and other purposes. In the interests of safety — of both the drones and their surroundings — some countries have already introduced rules and restrictions on their use. Alas, not all UAV owners know or follow them. And, like any electronic devices, drones can sometimes get out of hand. What are the potential consequences? Here are some examples.
White House down?
In January 2015, a drone crashed right on the lawn in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. An inebriated government officer had flown the drone from an apartment located near the official residence of the U.S. president, and lost control of it. According to the New York Times, he texted his friends, worried that the drone had gone down on the White House grounds, and then … went to sleep. Hearing news of a White House incident the following morning, the troublemaker owned up.
He was lucky: The investigation showed that before the crash, the drone was in uncontrolled flight, so the prosecutor's office did not bring charges against the pilot. However, the incident highlighted an issue of White House security. The small drone breezed past radars designed to detect traditional aircraft and missiles — and its intentions could easily have been less innocent.
Shortly after the incident, the drone manufacturer released a firmware update for the model to prevent it from flying within a 25 km radius (about 15.5 miles) of the White House. The copters also become inoperable in the vicinity of airports, power plants, and other critical facilities. But not all drones have those built-in safeguards.
Airport chaos
In December 2018, drones paralyzed London's Gatwick Airport. Planes were grounded for more than a day because of reports of drones over the airfield, which mysteriously appeared whenever the airport tried to reopen. The incident affected 140,000 passengers. About a thousand flights had to be canceled.
What's more, the culprits were never found, leading to speculation that they didn't even exist. The reports came exclusively from eyewitnesses; Gatwick's security systems, as in the White House case, detected nothing. Moreover, to investigate the incident, the police deployed their own drones, which could have provoked more reported sightings.
Crash in the sky
In another accident that happened in 2017 in the Canadian province of Quebec, no eyewitnesses were present to prevent a drone collision. Coming in to land, a light-engine aircraft smashed into a UAV at an altitude of 450 meters (about 1,500 feet) — five times as high as copters are permitted. Fortunately, the aircraft with eight people on board suffered only minor damage and landed safely.
The consequences could have been far more serious. As researchers from the University of Dayton demonstrated last year, even a light drone can cause significant damage to a plane.
Drones vs. skyscrapers
A drone crash at the top of the Space Needle observation tower in Seattle almost led to tragedy. It was New Year's Eve in 2016, and pyrotechnicians were prepping the festive fireworks. The copter blades, which continued to rotate for some time after the crash, were dangerously close to a cable running to the launch system. Fortunately, the workers were able to immobilize the drone.
After some effort, the drone owner was caught and fined. Though watching the video from the drone's camera to determine where the ill-fated craft had taken off didn't help the police, the serial number of the copter gave away the operator's identity.
Training exercise
The famous Flying Scotsman, a passenger train that runs between the capitals of England and Scotland, also had an intimate encounter with a drone. In 2016, a month after a long renovation, the train was damaged by a UAV. A drone filming the train snagged a trackside tree, and its camera flew off into one of the rail cars. No one was hurt, but passengers were shaken by the loud bang.
And in April of this year, another trainspotting drone narrowly escaped a collision with the Scotsman. Had Lady Luck not intervened, the loud bang would likely have accompanied damage to vital equipment and serious injury.
A drone in the wheel
Cyclists are also at risk. In 2017 an aerial drone filming the Golden State Race Series in Rancho Cordova, California, crashed into a tree and fell onto the track. A drone fragment got caught in the front wheel of one of the cyclists, causing him to go over the handlebars. Fortunately, the cyclist was practically unharmed, and the owner of the drone promised to buy him a new wheel and helmet as compensation.
Three-hour power cut
In the town of West Hollywood, near Los Angeles, a drone was responsible for a three-hour blackout of several hundred houses. By irony of fate, the drone flew into the power line just a couple of weeks after the LA City Council had tightened its regulations on drone use.
Although it was daytime and people were out and about on the street, there were no casualties, although about 650 residents of West Hollywood were inconvenienced and had to wait until the line was repaired. Firefighters also blocked two lanes of Sunset Boulevard, where the collision occurred.
Drone swatting
Even if the operator is in control, and the drone in good condition, the flight can still end in tears. In New Zealand, for instance, a local resident shot down a drone that flew over his plot of land, and almost paid with jail time.
According to police and the drone operator, the device was not illegally filming private property, but capturing a video of a plot up for sale across the street from the defendant's land. However, the plaintiffs were unable to prove to the court that the drone had not flown off-course. As a result, the shooter was acquitted.
Secure airspace
As you can see, drones are not only a convenient tool for photo/video shooting and other tasks, but can also be a potentially serious risk to human health and property. Fortunately, there exist technologies for the timely detection and neutralization of wayward drones. With that in mind, read this post for details of our antidrone solution.

HUMANOIDS' FALL RELEASES
Catalog Round Up
Posted by Nathan Wilson on June 7, 2016 @ 4:31 pm CT
Humanoids Inc has announced its Fall 2016 lineup, including a few titles that are sure to exhilarate fans of Euro comics and bandes dessinees.
In August, Humanoides will release Alexandro Jodorowsky and Francois Boucq's classic Western, Bouncer, an omnibus 412-page, 7.9" x 10.8" hardcover that includes the first seven volumes in the series, as well as an afterword. Originally published as several separate volumes in French by Les Humanoides Associes and Glenat, Bouncer debuted in 2001 and the most recent installment was released in 2013. While this new Humanoids edition contains the first seven volumes, it is unclear whether the remaining ones done by Glenat will be included in a future edition.
Previously, Humanoids published individual English-language hardcover editions of Bouncer from 2002-2015, encompassing the first four volumes of the series. Additionally, a trade paperback of the first story, "Raising Cain," was released by Humanoids and DC Comics in 2004. Yet, this is the first English-language edition to contain all seven original Humanoids-owned Bouncer stories. Bouncer retails for $44.95.
September finds Humanoids increasing its already strong Jodorowsky library with Metabarons Genesis: Castaka. Originally released by Humanoids as a 112-page, oversized, deluxe edition in March 2014 and a 120-page hardcover with an afterword by Jason Aaron and Katsuya Terada in March 2015, this Metabarons prequel appears to be a new edition with the original 2014 cover. Working with artist Das Pastoras (Thor: God of Thunder), Jodorowsky returns to the universe he created with Jean Giraud/Moebius in The Incal for an exploration of the Metabaron's origins and first ancestor Dayal de Castaka. This latest edition is a 7.9' x 10.8" color, 120-page hardcover and retails for $29.95.
Also in September is the team-up of writers Jason Henderson (Ben 10, Hulk: Broken Worlds), Tony Salvaggio, and Izu alongside artist Jean-Baptiste Hostache for Clockwerx. Originally released in French by Les Humanoides Associes in 2008, Clockwerx was picked up for a German-language edition by Splitter Verlag in 2011, who released a second volume of the series. Humanoids published an English-language edition as an oversized hardcover in 2013. This new, trade paperback edition of the Victorian-era steampunk adventure is a 112-page, color 7.6" x 10.2" version and retails for $19.95.
Moving away from Jodorowsky and illustrating its diversity as an American distributor for bandes dessinees, Humanoids will premiere El Nino and Legend of the Scarlet Blades in October. Written by Christian Perrissin with art by Boro Pavlovic, El Nino, a 288-page trade paperback, is a tale of family and piracy as a long-held secret about a sibling pushes the protagonist, Vera Michailov, to search for her long lost brother. Prior to this new edition, Humanoids released an English-language version in 2005 through its then partnership with DC Comics. El Nino will retail for $24.95.
Also in October is Saverio Tenuta's Legend of the Scarlet Blades, a story of a lone ronin in a feudal Japan full of mythical beings as the hero, Raido, struggles to regain his memory. Prior to this 204-page, hardcover edition, Humanoids published Legend of the Scarlet Blades as an oversized, deluxe limited to 500 copies hardcover in 2013 and again as a hardcover in April 2015. This new version does not appear to include any of the special features of the previous two editions. The 7.9' X 10.8" hardcover retails for $29.95.
As Humanoids moves into November, readers find more trade editions of previously published classics. First up is a softcover edition of Darko Macan, Philippe Thirault, and Jorge Miguel's Balkans Arena. Originally released as an oversized deluxe hardcover edition in 2015, the new 112-page trade paperback finds former soldier Frank Sokol searching for his kidnapped son in Croatia as he fights to get him back. This trade edition will retail for $19.95.
Also in November is a reissuing of Elias the Cursed by Sylviane Corgiat and Corrado Mastantuono. Prior to this trade paperback edition, Humanoids published another paperback of volume one in 2011 as well as a hardcover in April 2016. A tale of sword, sorcery, and revenge, Elias the Cursed retails for $19.95.
Finally, in December, Humanoids showcases Weapons of the Metabaron, Barbarella, and By the Numbers. The third version of Weapons of the Metabaron by Jodorowksy, Travis Charest, and Zoran Janjetov, is another hardcover edition of this Humanoids classic. First published in 2011 and again in 2013, this latest edition details the history of the Metabaron and how he amassed his power. At 64 pages, it retails for $19.95.
Next is Jean-Claude Forest's Barbarella adapted for English by Kelly Sue DeConnick. Much like Weapons of the Metabaron, this new edition will be the third hardcover version released by Humanoids here in the U.S. Debuting as a limited edition coffee table book in 2014 and again as an oversized hardcover in 2015, this latest version retails for $24.95.
Last is Laurent Rullier and Stanislas' By the Numbers. A French-language comic first published from 1990-1994 by Alpen, Les Humanoides Associes obtained the rights in 2003 and released four hardcovers of the series through 2004. An English-language edition was published jointly by Humanoids and DC Comics in 2004. In the spirit and style of Herge, By the Numbers is a whirlwind, world-travelling adventure story. As with several of the other collections, it remains unclear whether this new edition contains all the original Rullier and Staislas stories; however, this trade paperback retails for $24.95.


The recent demand for video surveillance systems to reduce security threats and criminal activities has brought challenges due to both the overwhelmingly vast amount of content to monitor and the limited physical resources with which to do it. Automated artificial vision technology is becoming more widely adopted for monitoring and surveillance applications to reduce the need for physical resources and human intervention. Human activity analysis and prediction is one of the most desired features of an automated video surveillance systems and often involves tracking and the recognition of motion or other explicit action traits which are voluntarily performed by humans. However, there are often many 'unseen actions' that can be used to infer and ultimately predict human behaviour.
Social signals are communicative and informative signals that directly or indirectly provide information through a range of non-verbal behavioural cues including facial expressions, body postures and gestures, and vocal outbursts. Social Signal Processing (SSP) aims to provide a framework for systematic, algorithmic and computational analysis of social signals, building on existing knowledge from anthropology and social psychology. This project will build on this SSP knowledge and recent advances in artificial vision technology (e.g. visually analysing relevant behavioural cues like blinks, smiles, crossed arms, facial expressions, and similar) in order to design and develop automated video surveillance systems for prediction. This project will be supervised by academics from the School of Computing and Intelligent Systems and the School of Psychology.
Candidates should have ordinary UK residence to be eligible for both fees and maintenance. Non UK residents who hold ordinary EU residence may also apply but if successful will receive fees only. All applicants should hold a first or upper second class honours degree in Computer Science or a cognate area. Applications will be considered on a competitive basis with regard to the candidate's qualifications, skills experience and interests. Successful candidates will enrol as of 1 October 2017, on a full-time programme of research studies leading to the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The studentship will comprise fees together with an annual stipend of £14,553 and will be awarded for a period of up to three years subject to satisfactory progress.

T-Mac may take pass on All-Star game
Sports // Rockets
Jonathan Feigen, Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle
With his left knee giving him more problems in his second game back than Saturday in his first, Rockets guard Tracy McGrady said again that he thought he would like to sit out the All-Star Game next month.
"Right now, I think I might have to pass on that," McGrady said. "I'll attend, but I don't think I can play."
McGrady was second among Western Conference guards in the most recent update.
The voting ended Sunday. Starters will be announced Thursday.
McGrady said he has not spoken with anyone from the NBA about not playing in the All-Star Game on Feb. 17 in New Orleans.
"Not yet," he said. "Let me give it until the end of the month or the next couple weeks."
The NBA has not permitted players who are healthy enough to play for their teams to skip the game.

Polarstern – 25 years of research
December 8, 2007 Posted in News
On December 9, 2007, the ice-breaking research vessel Polarstern will celebrate her 25th anniversary of service: since 1982, the world's most powerful polar research vessel has been venturing to the Arctic and Antarctic on behalf of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, part of the Helmholtz Association.
7600 scientist from 36 nations have gained insights into the polar oceans aboard Polarstern, facilitating our current understanding of the earth as a system. Polarstern provides ideal working conditions for international and interdisciplinary research teams and offers safe transport in polar seas.
Currently, Polarstern is on her way to the Antarctic as part of the International Polar Year 2007/08. The birthday celebration for Polarstern will take place on November 28 at the Museum of Natural History in Berlin, and will include a special address by Chancellor Dr Angela Merkel.
The international research community owes a vast amount of knowledge to the operation of Polarstern, e.g. concerning past climate and the largely unexplored deep sea.
The largest German research vessel was funded by the then Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and is operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research.
"For 25 years, expeditions aboard Polarstern have been producing scientific results which have significantly advanced our understanding of important parts of the earth as a system", says Prof Dr Karin Lochte, Director of the Alfred Wegener Institute.
Polarstern expeditions are designed as international and interdisciplinary ventures in order to enhance insights into the polar regions through optimal scientific exchange and data gain.
Polarstern can accommodate up to 55 scientists, who, aside from being provided with a bunk, have access to modern laboratories, aquaria and measuring equipment, but are also able to bring their own instruments or work around the clock.
During extended research voyages to the polar regions, Polarstern must be entirely self-sufficient, with the crew being able to carry out even complicated repairs independently. Polarstern not only represents a floating laboratory, it also supplies Neumayer Station in the Antarctic, which is operated year round, with food, materials and fuel.
Polar research is climate research
Despite the tremendous significance of polar regions for the climate and comprehensive research activities in the past, many questions about polar oceans remain unanswered.
It takes a reliable logistical infrastructure to travel to and study such inhospitable regions. Polarstern is the only vessel in the world to enable directed research in polar oceans year round.
"Only if we have long-term data from these limited-access regions, will we be able to recognise changes and make predictions for the future. The data collected from oceans, sea ice and from the atmosphere above, allows international teams of scientists to construct models which we will need to adapt to future living conditions on our planet", says Dr Eberhard Fahrbach, scientific coordinator of the Polarstern expeditions.
In order to facilitate participation by the general public and future young scientists in polar research, individual Polarstern voyages are occasionally accompanied by media representatives, teachers and artists.
University students and PhD candidates regularly join Polarstern in order to get to know the practical aspects of polar research and to collect important data for diploma and doctoral research.

Frameless Glass Juliet Balcony – What are the advantages of glass? Balcony railings? Why do many people prefer them instead of other options? In general, balustrades have two main functions: protective and decorative. The balcony railings are designed to ensure the safety of people and make the facade of the building more attractive. However, transparent glass has the advantage of offering an unobstructed view of the surroundings and you can enjoy the scenery from any point.
But they are not among the most popular. Barrier ideas, since glass, require special attention. Frameless glass juliet balcony on the balcony is an addition to any modern home. They go well with high-tech designs, modern or minimalist style. Of course, a barrier of translucent materials is the first choice of owners who want to maintain a panoramic view of the city, the mountains or the sea and enjoy unique sunsets and sunrises.
They are original and elegant enclosures that give a sense of continuity and allow and merge spaces, either because they are located in large cities, or in small rural centers. But to prolong the views and enjoy the comfort with the frameless glass juliet balcony of the terrace, it is important to find out what we have to take into account. Laminated safety glass, with a butyral silence that enhances and increases the acoustic insulation performance in the window, maintaining the level of safety.


Words Beginning with Sa-, Dictionary Structure, References & Abbreviations, Special Symbols, etc.
The prefix sam- ("altogether", expressing conjunction, union, completeness) is very common, and thus there are many words beginning with it; since the final -m is often replaced with the anusvāra, difficulties may arise if the rules for pronouncing the anusvāra are not thoroughly practiced.
In looking up words containing the anusvāra it is essential to sound the word, replacing the anusvāra with its savarṇa nasal where applicable, and then look up the word in the standard alphabetical order with that substituted nasal. For example, in the word संप्रदान the anusvāra is sounded as the savarṇa म् and is then found in the dictionary where one would expect to find सम्प्रदान; similarly for संकल्प, look up सङ्कल्प; for संज्ञा, सञ्ज्ञा; and for संधि, सन्धि; etc.
There are two points to bear in mind here: firstly, the tradition followed by Monier-Williams makes this nasal substitution only before a sparśa (the twenty-five from ka to ma); and secondly, one needs to make the same nasal substitution for the anusvāra for the words in the dictionary, i.e., sound them!
Do remember that in the dictionary the anusvāra before an antaḥstha is not substituted with a nasal: for example the anusvāra in संवार is not substituted and therefore, in the dictionary order where the anusvāra appears before the consonants, संवार will be before सगर which in turn will be before संकल्प, the last being in the dictionary order of सङ्कल्प.
As an illustration of the importance of sounding the words, examine the third column of page 1125 of the dictionary: the last three words given in devanāgarī script are संकील, सङ्कु, and संकुच् — and that is the alphabetical order in sound!
This principle applies wherever the anusvāra occurs, and not only to words beginning with sam-. For example, in column two of page 124 is the entry अहम् in devanāgarī, and derived from it (and hence transliterated) is the next entry word Ahaṃ (note the anusvāra): the samāsa formed with ahaṃ — (-yāti, -yu, -vādin, etc.) are listed in alphabetical order — but note that the sparśa (-karaṇa, -kartavya, etc.) are listed after the antaḥstha and ūṣman. Again, the anusvāra is sounded with its replacement savarṇa nasal to give अहङ्करण (and, of course, ङ follows the anusvāra in the alphabetical order).
The outermost layer of the dictionary, namely the entries in devanāgarī script, should ideally only contain dhātu, but in practice it includes those words whose form has changed radically (e.g., by samprasāraṇa), or have a prefix added, or whose dhātu is not known.
Turn to page 733 of the dictionary and examine the devanāgarī entries in the first column. The last word in this column is in large devanāgarī type, indicating a major dhātu: the entry for this word begins with its transliterated form, followed by "cl. I" which stands for "class-1". There are ten classes of dhātu (i.e., ten ways of conjugating verbs), but this, together with the other information given in the dhātu entry, will be explained in the next lesson. At this stage, simply be aware that a devanāgarī entry, followed by its transliterated form and a class number, is a dhātu.
That was a pretty mixed bag of words, but does illustrate the many types of entries listed in devanāgarī, except for those beginning with a prefix which form the bulk of the words listed in devanāgarī. Page 672 of the dictionary is representative of this type of entry: the second column begins with प्रतिसच् and in transliteration is conveniently split into the prefix and dhātu as prati- √ sac; the next entry प्रतिसंचर् has two prefixes prati-sam √ car, and half-way down the column is प्रतिसमादिश् having three prefixes prati-sam-ā √ diś. The transliteration shows the etymology of the word, and allows each element to be separately examined in the dictionary.
The entries for nāman (nouns), viśeṣaṇa (adjectives), and avyaya (indeclinables, typically kriyā-viśeṣaṇa adverbs), are listed in their prātipadika form, followed by a description indicating their meaning.
Examine the entry for Buddha in the second column of page 733: it begins with "mfn.", indicating a viśeṣaṇa; however, six lines down is "m. a wise or learned man", so Buddha can also be a masculine nāman; and further down (just before the bold type -kapālinī) is "n. knowledge", thus the word Buddha can also be a neuter noun.
Thus the same prātipadika form may be a viśeṣaṇa or a nāman, so if the heading word indicates "mfn." one may yet find "m." etc., buried in the text for that word. The converse does not apply: had the entry been "Buddha, m. a wise man", there will be no "mfn." buried in the text — this reflects the overall structure of the dictionary in tapering down from the general to the particular, from a quality (viśeṣaṇa) to the specific (nāman).
This is the general order followed in the dictionary within the text for an entry word.
Return to page 733, and lightly read through the text for the word Buddha: the information provided about Gautama Buddha (the founder of Buddhism) is typical of the encyclopedic scope of the dictionary.
Now lightly read through the text for the word Buddhi in the third column. Here, as a bonus, you are given an insight into the mythology of India, where the gods and their consorts are the personification of universal forces: from Dakṣa (the Creative Force) arises Buddhi (Intelligence), which, guided by Dharma (Law), produces Bodha (Knowledge).
On page xxxiii of the Introduction is the List of Works and Authors that Monier-Williams has consulted in compiling the dictionary: look for a few works that you know to see how it is abbreviated in the body of the dictionary, for example, Bhag. for Bhagavad-gītā and MBh. for MahāBhārata.
The next page of the dictionary has a list of symbols that are used: read through and understand these. The last four symbols are not very clear, but will be elucidated in the next section.
The following page of the dictionary lists the abbreviations that are used.
Make it a discipline to look up the references (when appropriate) and abbreviations (always) when you are not sure what it stands for — this way you will very soon become familiar with them.
The little circle ( ॰ ) is a standard abbreviation symbol in the devanāgarī script to denote either the first or last part of a word that has to be supplied from the context. Monier-Williams also uses this symbol to abbreviate English words in order to save space. As an illustration of its use, if the word "conscious" is under discussion, rather than repeat the word in full, the abbreviation con ॰ or even c ॰ may be used; similarly ॰ ly would mean consciously, and ॰ ness, consciousness.
Turning again to page 733 column two, find the samāsa listed under Buddha beginning with -kapālinī and -kalpa: the hyphen not only indicates that the word is appended to Buddha (see section 12.3, but that kapālinī and kalpa are words that may be separately looked up in the dictionary, and this is why the next samāsa, -kāya-varṇa-parinishpatty-abhinirhārā is itself hyphenated (each element, kāya and varṇa for example, may usually be separately found in the dictionary).
Where the samāsa is printed in full, as in Buddhāgama, which stands for Buddha-āgama, this use of the caret symbol allows the second word of the samāsato be correctly determined as beginning with a dīrgha ā, so that āgama can be separately looked up. Similarly, the samāsa printed as Buddhaiḍūka stands for Buddha-eḍūka and not Buddha-aiḍūka (which are the two possibilities listed in the vowel sandhi grid of 10.A.3: the reasoning here is that, although ए and ऐ are both long vowels, the "weaker" of the two vowels in terms of guṇa and vṛddhi 1 (see section 10.A.2, is given the thin stroke in the caret symbol.
If a word is not found in the main dictionary, look for it in the supplement of Additions and Corrections beginning on page 1308.
Look up the words in the following list in the dictionary: the words may be at any of the four levels of alphabetical order, and they may be printed in devanāgarī or transliterated Roman or both, and hyphenated appropriately.


Before high fever with chills, it comes to detect the abnormal presence in the blood of a bacterium which can thus be identified. Then we could possibly test its resistance to contact antibiotics.
The collection of blood is cultured in suitable habitat to development of germs suspected.
– Ideally with the waning of a fever and chills when middle.
Now semi-automatic methods accelerate bacterial growth and, by centrifuging, concentrated detectable bacteria then quickly and easily.
Blood culture positive sign bacteremia or sepsis.
The findings come in two stages; with the first color, then 24 to 48 hours after the result of susceptibility testing.
If a staph is found, it is difficult to know if it is an infection or contamination. In this case, we must renew levies or perform at an appropriate time (apart from the thrill) and based on successive positive results.
False negatives are possible after antibiotic treatment, insufficient sampling, a medium unsuitable culture.

Colm Mac Con Iomaire is a musician from Dublin and resident in Co.Wexford. He is a founder member of both Kíla and of The Frames. He has been an integral member of The Frames since the band started. He joined them in 1990 having met Glen Hansard while busking on Grafton Street in 1986. He has travelled the world many times over since then with the Frames, The Swell Season & Colm's own musical project. He released 3 solo albums to critical acclaim: The Hare's Corner in 2008; And Now The Weather in 2015 and The River Holds Its Breath in 2019. While the Violin is very much Colm's first instrument he also plays most of the instruments on his album(Cello, Guitar, Bozouki , Banjo etc). Instrumental music is Colm's main interest and his music draws on a wide range of styles and influences ranging from classical to traditional music, though his music has a unique sound all of its own.
Basciville are Irish brother duo, Cillian & Lorcan Byrne. Exploring the joys & sorrows of human existence through intense lyricism & dark harmony.
From Wexford, both studied music and composition at Waterford Institute of Technology before embarking on a career as session musicians for many well known Irish acts.
They formed and recorded their first autonomous music under the guise of Basciville in 2016, in the form of the 'Blues in Red' EP. The success of this release led to them signing with a UK label under which they released a string of 'sound finding' singles before deciding to split and follow the independent route. After taking the time to accumulate the gear and the skills required to record their own music, they set up a studio in their home in Ireland and started a label and production house- moving heads. Since then they have worked as producers with some of Ireland's leading acts as well as releasing a second EP – 'For All Lost Youth' and a critically acclaimed debut album 'Hymns to the Air', all self recorded and produced.
They are currently working on album number two 'Nothing Surprises'.

Elyria Schools' funding strong through 2020
By Lisa Roberson
Published on May 19, 2016 | Updated 2:00 a. m.
ELYRIA — Elyria Schools' bottom line remains strong through 2020, but school officials said they have to get a handle on student enrollment.
As the district loses students, it also loses money.
On Wednesday night, district Treasurer Joy Clickenger delivered an updated five-year financial forecast to school board members. These updates are given every May and October.
"Knowing our resources for the future is paramount to planning for the future," Clickenger said. "It dictates what we can do or can't do for kids."
Elyria has fewer of those kids than originally thought six months ago. In October, the enrollment for 2016 was estimated at 6,095 students.
The May number is 101 students fewer at 5,994.
Clickenger said Elyria lost about $1.4 million in state funding along with the students. One-time collections of about $500,000 in additional property tax revenue and reductions in spending cushioned the loss a bit to keep the district's positive future in line.
"If we can turn enrollment around, our revenue would go up, and that would help our deficit spending," Clickenger said.
Superintendent Tom Jama said the district is losing money to community schools as parents enroll students elsewhere. The reasons for leaving a district can be very subjective, and Jama said he's hoping transportation changes will encourage parents to return to Elyria Schools.
"Especially at the elementary level, when parents are juggling how to get multiple kids to school," he said.
Board member Greg Elek said the district's plan to build new elementary and middle schools, if voters pass a bond issue, could be another reason to come back.
Even with the enrollment shrinking, the district is carefully spending money and keeping a healthy cash balance, Clickenger said.
The cash balance for 2016 is more than $23 million, which is projected to climb to more than $25 million in 2017. The year 2018 is predicted to have the district start deficit spending, but the cash balance stays at more than $24 million. By 2019, it drops to more than $20 million, and by 2020 the cash balance is more than $15 million.
"This is awesome," Clickenger said. "This forecast assumes passing of a renewal levy in 2019. But even with the renewal, there is a trend of deficit spending that will have to be addressed."
Any savings the district can realize from operation efficiencies based on the new construction of buildings has not been factored into the five-year forecast, but it would help the deficit spending if the bond issue is successful.
Board members adopted a resolution from the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission for its master plan and passed a resolution to approve the locally funded options for the upcoming bond issue.
Instead of the customary "aye" votes, board members each chose to say "yes" loudly to unanimously approve each motion. A round of applause sealed the deal.
School board members have not formally voted to put a bond issue before voters, but the plan will include two new K-4 elementary buildings and three K-8 or preschool-8 campus-style buildings at a cost of about $120 million, with the state kicking in $80 million.
There are about $20 million additional costs for local add-ons that taxpayers will fund.

Q: Shopping Cart Rules for Mixed Products How do I get items in the cart to apply discount if some product attributes are different, to explain. I have this rule set up for a 4 for £10 promo:
If ALL  of these conditions are TRUE :
If total quantity  is  4  for a subselection of items in cart matching ALL  of these conditions:
Category  is  26
Bottle Size  is  10ml
VG/PG Mix  is  50/50
and this works if the items are all the same. However, these items have different flavour (attributes) and when we add say 2 of one flavour and 2 of another the discount does not apply. It's the same scenario with different child/single associated products. I've tried adding flavours etc. to the rule but this makes no difference to the outcome.
Has anyone experienced this and found a resolve or can someone tell me where I am going wrong please as this is driving me insane?
I'm using magento 1.9.3.8
Many many thanks

Customers on Verizon Edge will now have to pay in full before they can upgrade to a new device
By Kyle Wiggers May 27, 2015
Verizon's Edge program lets customers switch to a new smartphone once they've paid off a certain amount of the original device's price. That's the gist of the early upgrade program Verizon introduced two years ago in response to T-Mobile's Jump and AT&T's Next, but Edge has since undergone a number of changes that make it a little less appealing than it was upon its debut.
Verizon announced the latest adjustment of terms: Starting May 31, subscribers on Edge will have to pay off the entire cost of their current device before they're eligible for an early upgrade. That's far different from two years ago, when customers only had to pay 50 percent of the their device before they could land a shiny new one. However, the writing's been on the wall for a while: Verizon increased the amount customers needed to pay to 60 percent in June 2014, then 75 percent in October.
There's arguably a plus side, though. You'll be able to upgrade immediately after you've paid your off your handset completely. The previous system had a 30-day waiting period. However, if you consider the cost of a flagship smartphone like the Galaxy S6 ($599), you're paying quite a premium — somewhere around $149.75 (25 percent of $600) — for that slight reduction in lag time.
The best cell phone plans in 2023: top picks for every budget
Whether the new terms appeal or not, Verizon seems to be stepping up efforts to funnel customers toward Edge. It offers discounts on its More Everything plans for those who sign up. You'll pay $25 less on lines for plans with 6GB or higher or $15 less on plans with 4GB and lower. Additionally, last November introduced harsher early termination fees for non-Edge subscribers.
Those measures seem to be having the desired effect — SVP of Marketing at Verizon Nancy Clark said in a press release that more than 50 percent of Verizon Wireless customers have upgraded or activated smartphones with Edge. That's roughly 50 million paying subscribers — certainly nothing to shake a stick at.
In our comparison of early upgrade plans, we were left largely unimpressed — no matter how you slice it, they all require you pay a premium to get new smartphones early. If you're intractably attracted to bleeding-edge tech, but don't have the money to buy unlocked, though, T-Mobile's Jump is still the best value. A device down payment plus monthly installments nets you the ability to upgrade every six months (for an additional $60) and complimentary phone insurance. Edge and Next, by comparison, require you stick to a rigid 20-24 month payment structure and confer no additional benefits beyond some monthly savings.

She Was Rio's Biggest Hope. Then She Was Assassinated
SourceMidia Ninja
People who are accelerating our culture and advancing the conversation – for good or for ill. You may not have heard of them yet – but you'll soon need to know 'em.
Because politics the world over is being driven by battles over identity.
OZY was first to this story, putting you ahead of the curve. View More OZY Originals
By Anna Jean Kaiser
The Daily Dose MAR 16 2018
OZY first published this profile in September 2016, tracking the trajectory of a young political rising star. In March 2018, Marielle Franco was tragically gunned down and killed in Rio de Janeiro, sparking protests nationwide. Learn here about Franco's efforts to bring positive change to Brazil.
On a Friday night just before Rio de Janeiro's municipal elections, city council candidate Marielle Franco arrives at a warehouse party in her neighborhood of Maré — a favela, a low-income informal settlement, located in Rio's North Zone. An Afrobeat band sings of the luta (the struggle), racism, machismo. People sport orange stickers bearing outline of an Afroed woman: Franco's campaign image.
"I am because we are," her campaign slogan reads, a nod to the African philosophy ubuntu, and a surprisingly telling message. Franco, an up-and-comer in one of Brazil's new leftist parties, the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL), is appealing to locals because of a shared identity. The 37-year-old, who's making her first run for elected office, is telling a story of a new era of progressivism in Brazil, one that draws on her childhood history growing up in a favela. The Olympic dust has settled; Rio is facing a deepening financial crisis and ever-deteriorating security issues, and all this is cast against the specter of ex-President Dilma Rousseff's ousting in September after a lengthy impeachment process.
Amid all this, Franco, who's won her election, hopes to begin her ascent into the highest echelons of Brazilian politics. Franco and her small but plucky party, which is just 11 years old, see themselves as the counterbalancing force to the current center-right government. They're calling for wider social safety nets, new public housing projects, community policing.
In addition to her party's platform, Franco has her own wish list: She wants standard bus routes rewritten so women can get off at designated brighter or safer spaces late at night. She wants more government-funded day care centers so moms can work. As Franco issues many of these calls for change, she uses her personal history expertly to compensate for a lack of experience in elected office. Day care is a case study in this Francoism: Though other politicians have been trying to up the number of centers for years, Franco says they didn't understand the complex cartographies of the city of 6.5 million, didn't see the invisible borders drawn by gangs or drug factions that might make a seemingly accessible center dangerous for a mother to reach.
She's the chance to bring politics closer to here and fight for our interests.
Shyrlei Rosendo, Maré resident
João Feres, a political science professor at the State University of Rio, says the PSOL is not realistic. "It's idealistic leftist policies. They're more concerned with sticking to their own principles and not meddling with the dirty aspects of Rio politics." City council politics is a messy business, peopled both with ideological opponents and, in some cases, members of actual criminal militias. Franco and colleagues will have to negotiate with sundry types. And the idealism may come crashing down.
Marielle Franco makes the kind of policy promises only a local can make.
Source Midia Ninja
Feres also thinks solutions are, in PSOL discourse, less favored than raw hope. He gestures to one of the PSOL's — and Franco's — favorite targets, police efforts to gain control of favelas run by drug traffickers, under the moniker "the pacification police." The program, Feres says, "can be criticized in many ways, but [PSOL] seem to think there is some other magical solution to public security." We reached out to the main center-right party in Rio, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, for their take on policing and Franco, but they did not reply to request for comment; other local politicians declined to speak on record mere days before an election.
Maré, Franco's home where we are stumping today, is one of Rio's most precarious neighborhoods. Frequent school closures and lockdowns prevent people from getting to work. Franco, who's raising her teenage daughter here, says it wasn't always like this. As a kid in the '80s, she played on the streets without worry. She was around 14 the first time she saw an armed trafficker. Today, that's commonplace.
Franco got pregnant at 18; her child's father wasn't around after the first few years. She took a job as a preschool teacher making minimum wage — about $200 a month — to support herself and her child. While her daughter was still in grade school, Franco got a scholarship to a prestigious private university, continuing to teach to pay her way. After college she kept teaching, and, in 2007, started working for the PSOL, drawn in by the idea of a new leftist party where she could "sink her hands into the dough."
Her profile is a rarity in Rio and Brazil's political sphere — currently, six of the 51 seats on the Rio City Council are occupied by women. She pitches herself as change itself: "It's important to have someone like me because it's a direct identification." Residents believe that Franco would fight for her own: "She's the chance to bring politics closer to here and fight for our interests," said Shyrlei Rosendo, 33, a Maré resident. And that appeal is crucial for PSOL, says José Eduardo Leon Szwako, a professor and social scientist who specializes in civil society movements at the State University of Rio. Franco's party "has not been able to win over large slices of the Rio electorate," he says — it's been mostly young, educated liberals cheering PSOL along. Feres says the party will not go far without more support from lower income citizens. "They've never been able to break the class barrier, and that's a major problem for a leftist party in Brazil," he says, pointing out that their core support remains middle-class.
The party spills out into the street, heralding the weekend. Music blasts from speakers while residents drink beer and eat barbecue on the streets. Franco takes selfies with supporters. The scene recalls the kind of policy promises only a local girl can make: In the favela, she's pledged to hold more events valorizing Afro-Brazilian and favela culture like baile funk, parties devoted to the musical genre that originated in Rio's favelas. Those fetes? They've been banned by police in some areas. The state identified them as security risks.

In the name of the algorithm, Valve nerfs Steam Trading Cards
May 16, 2017 | By Alex Wawro
More: Console/PC, Indie, Business/Marketing
"The problem is that these games damage something we care about a lot, because it affects all our players - the Steam Store's algorithm."
- Steam blog post outlining Valve's new limits on the Steam Trading Card system.
As part of its ongoing efforts to revamp Steam, Valve today published a blog post outlining how the platform's Trading Cards system will be withheld from games until they reach a certain "confidence metric."
What this means for devs varies on how important the Trading Cards system (which first debuted in 2013) is to your business. Even if you don't care a whit about Cards, it's interesting to see Valve's breakdown of what's at stake if the system isn't corrected: Steam's core game recommendation algorithms.
The cutback is explcitly aimed at making it harder for "fake developers" to make money by gaming Steam's Greenlight system to get illegitimate games up on Steam, then generating thousands of keys and setting up bots to idle in said game generating Trading Cards that are then sold on the Steam Marketplace.
"These Trading Card farming games produce a lot of faux data, because there's a lot of apparent player activity around them," reads an excerpt of the blog post. "As a result, the algorithm runs the risk of thinking that one of these games is actually a popular game that real players should see."
Going forward, devs can expect Steam to change Trading Cards so that they only begin dropping for your players once your game hits that aforementioned "confidence metric." At that point, Cards will be enabled and players who have already logged time playing your game will receive the corresponding drops.
What that "confidence metric" is has yet to be publicly disclosed -- Valve says only that rather than relying on Steam Greenlight as a measure of what games belong on Steam, the "confidence metric" will be "built from a variety of pieces of data, all aimed at separating legitimate games and players from fake games and bots."
Of course, the company has already announced plans to end the Steam Greenlight program later this year in favor of a fee-based game submission system.

And, whilst you are in the mood for slides, may I also recommend Ewan McIntosh's recent Napier Lecture on Social Computing, which has some great content and snippets.
Great slides thx ; you made my day, in meet all those tools (with clever examples), to make things advance in corp. I guess France is already late, but trying to make it faster. Only a few corps in France can imagine nowadays, using these tech, with volontary reasons. A lot of people aleready use for pleasure and friendly networking, but few in aims of e-learning, knowledge improvement, information sharing and working groups. US/UK make the dance as always, and we try to learn how to dance !
Anyway, I'm on the way to go faster in these fields, in my corp, and for others.
Thx helping us to better days !
Great slideshare you have a very level-headed approach to a topic that would get many people going off the technology deep-end.


Someone spoke to me recently of the 'dark' emotions: anger, envy, hatred, jealousy. These are the feelings we don't think we should feel and so we have learned to try and suppress them. We often do not recognise them, let alone dare to name them to ourselves. The one I notice most people avoiding is anger, maybe because they associate the feeling with violence. But anger is just a feeling. And feelings never hurt anyone. Whereas what we do as a response to our feelings may indeed be hurtful or damaging. And not necessarily to others, but to ourselves.
Surprisingly, some people do not allow themselves to feel love, or pity, or compassion. Maybe it wasn't allowed in your family or you paid a high price for such a feeling. Emotions such as tenderness, sympathy and kindness have, especially in the past, been seen as feminine emotions and come to be equated with weakness and vulnerability. That has made them shameful for men, and now, I think, for those who live in a highly competitive world. But they are in fact simply human qualities and their absence in the emotional repertoire is a constriction, a loss.
When envy is named, there can be an offended response. But if someone has something we deeply aspire to: safety, a permanent home, a secure income which brings certain luxuries, the success that seems always to escape us, then why would we not feel envy for that longed for thing? Envy is not ugly – it is natural. We can choose to act in a creative or a destructive way as a response to that emotion.
Sue Gerhardt, in her important book 'Why Love Matters – how affection shapes a baby's brain', tells us "Emotions are central to self-regulation. They are the biological response of the organism to other people and situations, and this response can be a useful basis for reflection and a guide to action." Feelings tell you something about how you are judging a situation. Sometimes that judgment is not appropriate. It may arise from out-of-date information. One of the advantages of being thinking beings is that we can train ourselves to stop and reflect, name the feeling that is driving our action, and choose our response.
Bring your feelings into the light. It can be an instructive experience.

Interview with Telekinesis
The Slovenian duo Telekinesis got together some eight years ago. Pretty much right away they managed to get their music signed on the notorious Viper Recordings and Breed 12 Inches. They followed that up with tracks on Bad Taste and it climaxed with a superb remix of Black Sun Empire and few more bits on Blackout and Eatbrain. The word on the street is that they are preparing their debut LP for this year. Nothing is certain yet but it looks like it might even come out on the mighty Blackout Music.
They will have the opportunity to showcase their specific dark sounds in Czech Republic this friday with their premiere gig in Moravia along with A-Cray. Thanks to cooperation with Mindicted crew, who are behind this particular party, we bring you this exclusive interview with Smooth and Markoman, the two members of Telekinesis.
Hello guys, could you introduce yourself a little bit?
Of course. We are Telekinesis and we love making big/dark and heavy dnb! Also….we are kinda cool with them teleportation skills and all that 🙂
What are your plans for 2017?
We did two collabs with L33 and also have one really big tune finished with Nuklear MC. The plan is also to finish another EP for Blackout. So a lot of new stuff is coming out this year !
You haven't released anything on any other label than Blackout for quite some time. Why?
We actually have an exclusive deal with Blackout. That happened the fist time we released with them. Which was perfect because we were looking for a good label to settle down. Also they are cool with us sometimes also releasing somewhere else which is really nice. Then they asked us and we couldnt be happier and are very proud to be part of the Blackout crew!
What is your dream collaboration?
That is a tough one. There are so many great producers out there. But one of them are defo Black Sun Empire…. We have been talking about it literary for years. But it will happen one of these days I promise.
Are you watching the newcomer producers in DnB? Who are your favorites?
Yes actually that is something that I really enjoy. Listening to new artists and knowing which ones have sick new tunes. Disprove is I think a really talented producer. I really enjoy Hypoxia too. There are quite a few newcomers but I have to say these two are standing out.
Do you like to play a gig with an MC?
Yes usually I would say that Mcs are great addition to the sets. I feel like they hype the crowd even more. Especially when they are good and also know that there are moments where it's better to be quiet as well.
What was the first track that got you into D&B?
The first track was, I believe, Bad Company – Planet dust. That was the first DNB tune I heard coming from metal, punk, hardcore etc. And when I first heard the tune I wasnt sure what kind of music this is. But sure enough I could not live without it any more.
What aspects of DnB music and subculture do you like and what aspects would you rather change?
I pretty much love the whole scene. I call it true love. When I was a kid I was trying to train a lot of different sports and had a lot of different activities but not even one stayed in my life constantly. D&B did. And the whole scene around it is really fascinating and full of positive people no matter where you are in the world. That is the good thing about music in general I believe. It connects people around the world.
What kind of music did you listen to when you were 12 years old?
Uff, that is so far in the past. I assume I did not have a style of music that I listened to religiously. It must have been general radio stuff and probablly some Slovenian bands like Čuki and Pop Design. Check it out!
Do you prefer club, or outdoor events?
I don't have a preference in this case. I love both. Both have different vibes. For instance in a club it is always more personal but at a festival it is always bigger. So yeah, both have their own charms.
What do you imagine, when you think about Czech D&B audience?
I dont have to imagine as I know for a fact that parties and people in Czech are always great and people in general are not afraid to party their brains out there. So I am really looking forward to go there again and also Czech is pretty much one of my favorite countries to play in.
What was the best venue you ever played at?
Hmm, that is also a hard question as there were many great venues. One of them is Fabric which is already legendary by its name. And the vibes in that club are very unique and special. So if you would put a knife on my neck and said that I had to pick one…that would be the one.
And a last question. Is there something you would like to say to your fans in Czech Republic?
Yes for sure, I would like to say that I am really looking forward to coming back to your beautiful country, play some heavy music and enjoy the company of good people!

Monastère Dorjé Pamo | Communauté de moniales bouddhistes dans la tradition Guéloug
Dorje Pamo Monastery
A Community of Buddhist nuns in the Gelug tradition
Advices for monks and nuns
Our Lineage
The Dorje Pamo Monastery is in the process of becoming an entity affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) *. The FPMT organization is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa of Tibet as taught to us by our founders Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.
Always under the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, our organization is committed to promoting human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, enthusiasm, self-discipline, harmony, understanding among the world's major religious traditions and the commitment to work to preserve Tibet´s Buddhist culture, a culture of peace and non-violence.
* This status allows a probationary period before the monastery becomes a full FPMT entity. As such, it is not yet affiliated with the FPMT, and therefore does not have the same responsibilities as a full-fledged center, financially or administratively.
His Holiness the Dalaï Lama
Limitless inspiration
Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14e Dalaï Lama, is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born Lhamo Dhondrub on 6 july 1935, to a peasant family in a small village called Taktser in northeasten Tibet. In accordance with the Tibetan tradition, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus as the incarnation of Avalokteshvara, the Buddha of compassion.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a man of peace. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has consistently advocated policies of non-violence, even in the face of extreme aggression. He also became the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concern for global environmental problems.
His Holiness has held discussions with heads of different religions and participated in many events promoting inter-religious harmony and understanding.
Since the mid-1980s, His Holiness has engaged in a dialogue with modern scientists, mainly in the fields of psychology, neurobiology, quantum physics and cosmology.
As His Holiness describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk, he is a role model and the perfect example particularly for all the monks and nuns ordained in Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Lama Thoubtèn Yéshé
Founder of FPMT
Lama Thubten Yeshe was born in Tibet in 1935. At the age of six, he entered Sera Monastic University in Tibet where he studied until 1959, when as Lama Yeshe himself has said, "In that year the Chinese kindly told us that it was time to leave Tibet and meet the outside world."
Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, together as teacher and disciple since their exile in India, met their first Western students in 1965. By 1971 they settled at Kopan, a small hamlet near Kathmandu in Nepal.
In 1974, the Lamas began touring and teaching in the West, which would eventually result in The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. Lama Yeshe died in 1984, his reincarnation Osel Hita Torres was born to Spanish parents in 1985.
Founder and Spiritual Director of the FPMT
Lama Zopa Rinpoche, FPMT's spiritual director, is the reincarnation of the Sherpa Nyingma yogi Kunsang Yeshe, the Lawudo Lama. Rinpoche was born in 1946 in Thami, not far from the cave Lawudo, in the Mount Everest region of Nepal, where his predecessor meditated for the last twenty years of his life.
Rinpoche then went to the Tibetan refugee camp at Buxa Duar, West Bengal, India, where he met Lama Yeshe, who became his closest teacher. The Lamas went to Nepal in 1967, and over the next few years built Kopan and Lawudo Monasteries. In 1974, with Lama Yeshe, Rinpoche began traveling the world to teach and establish centers of Dharma. When Lama Yeshe passed away in 1984, Rinpoche took over as spiritual director of FPMT which has continued to flourish under his peerless leadership.
