Ghana's recently liberalised pensions industry is one of the fastest growing in the world. LeapFrog's investment in 2014 was predicated on the shifting financial services landscape of Ghana – at the time of investment, only 19 percent of the population had ever used a formal savings product. Investing in Petra Trust was a recognition of the market potential as much as it was a vote of confidence in Petra's dynamic leadership team.
The Petra team has a long shared history: Co-founders Kofi Fynn and Chris Hammond, and Head of Operations Helena Poku were school friends before studying in the US, at Harvard and MIT. Later they returned home to Ghana to start Petra, inspired by the social need for pensions, and the market opportunity this represented.
Launched in 2011, Petra was the first trustee approved and licensed by Ghana's National Pensions Regulatory Authority in 2012. Today Petra is the largest independent pensions trustee in Ghana, and one of the two largest by assets under management.
Petra has benefited from LeapFrog's support in consumer research, marketing, governance and strategy and IT infrastructure.
The LeapFrog and Petra team rapidly grew the business into the leading independent pensions trustee in Ghana with over 1.4bn GHS (USD 310m) in assets under management (AUM). The company has achieved average annual revenue growth of 76 percent across the period of investment. LeapFrog successfully exited in 2018.

Bob Milward, Globalisation? Internationalisation and Monopoly Capitalism: Historical Processes and Capitalist Dynamism. Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar, 2003. xii + 198 pp. $85/?55.00 (hardback), ISBN: 1-84064-869-4.
Reviewed for EH.NET by Paul Benneworth, Institute for Policy and Practise, Newcastle University.
The central thesis to this book is that internationalisation has produced very stable and monopolistic institutional and business forms, and contemporary patterns of uneven economic development are created and sustained by these nexuses of business and political interests in a form which is far more international than multinational. He argues that wherever you begin to explore this system, it is hard not to conclude that the systems these structures provide are so far removed from the "free markets" that neo classicism/globalization advocates that they are not a useful conceptual structure for understanding modern capitalism. The book provides a tour through a number of such explorations, covering thematic areas such as industry, culture, trade regulation and international development, in a revelatory rather than didactic tone — that is the central message of the book becomes apparent through the chapters, rather than being explicated at every stage.
The book includes four framing chapters, three at the start and one at the end, which set up the main argument, that modern capitalism is best understood as a form of international, monopoly capitalism. Sandwiched in between are nine chapters each covering a separate analysis of the world economic system, which support this main contention. Each chapter follows a similar structure; the introduction problematizes the theme, then there is a presentation of evidence which leads to an analysis which in turn supports the main thesis.
This approach is neatly illustrated by the chapter on industry. The problematization is the Marxian standard, that labor saving innovation continually reduces the amount of labor inputs required in production. The requirement for increasing profitability has led to a shift to exploitation of cheaper labor outside home markets, illustrated through differential wage rates in the world?s textile industry (p. 68). The chapter also helps to establish the uneven exchange that is mediated through these commodity producing chains, something which is further expanded on in great depth in chapters 11 to 13. The chapter finishes, in common with the others, with a summary of what the chapter has sought to demonstrate.
This exploration approach is very interesting, because it ensures the book retains a degree of attachment to reality, which in turn makes the book very accessible to readers such as myself who have a general sympathy with, rather than deep involvement in, Marxian economics. Each chapter has a certain amount of empirical evidence and historical observation, and the use of the nine chapters has the effect of producing a crescendo, as the value of arguments in the early chapters which seem a little forced become more apparent as the thesis develops. The book is largely clearly written, and does bear reading from start to finish, which is a necessity for this book more than many because the argument does develop its weight and force over its fourteen chapters.
My main issue with the book is its poor treatment of a personal bugbear, the issue technological innovation and change. Innovation to Milward is important in the sense of labor saving and increasing the organic composition of capital, but there is no well argued model or conceptual framework for explaining how the devaluations which innovation brings are geographically distributed through monopoly capitalism. Monopoly theories of innovation assume that innovations are controlled by monopolists to maximize the returns they yield from them. Consequently, devaluations of capital are managed to maintain profitability, and do not change the geographical balance of power within capitalist relations of production.
While this is a perfectly acceptable model for closed states in sectors with single technological producers — such as privatized utilities industries — it is not a particularly useful model for complex markets where innovations shift and shape preferences and consequently the balance of power between various quasi monopoly capitalists in various locations.
This is important because of the later emphasis of the book on the way that underdevelopment is created and controlled. The argument is that because existing monopoly capitalists control the flow of technologies into less successful places, they are able to prevent less successful countries from developing their own technological bases. As Milward writes, he assumes that "the foreign firm always has the advantage over the domestic enterprise in terms of technology, markets, finance and know how" (p. 142).
China is an example of a country that has had great economic success by refusing to accept this logic, imposed by intellectual property regimes, and using copying techniques to stimulate industrialization. Although the book makes passing reference to the "Green Revolution" of high yield varieties, and the rise of IT in Bangalore, it does assume that the benefits and dynamics of these particular events are functionally controlled by monopoly capitalists. The book seems to beg a theory of knowledge capitalism which gets beyond the breathless individualism of a new transnational elite rhetoric.
I was also personally irritated by the error of fact on page 162 which claimed the European Coal and Steel Community was created in 1957. It was of course the European Economic Community and European Atomic Energy Community which were created in 1957, with ECSC created in 1952 as a precursor organization.
However, with respect to these criticisms, I accept that developing a theory of knowledge capitalism would have disrupted the development of the argument, which relies on a gradual accretion towards the final thesis. The book is generally speaking, well written and convincing in the way it develops its argument towards this thesis, and I personally enjoyed the book the more I read. In particular, the incorporation of contemporary events, such as the collapse of Enron, and the critique of the Washington consensus from Joseph Stiglitz, were a timely reminder that structuralist approaches to economics have indeed retained (regained?) their salience. Milward has used these and other examples to provide a welcome reflection on the precise significance of the late 1990s bubble economy in terms of the early 1990s assumptions of the victory of a particular kind of neo liberalist capitalism.
The market for this kind of research monograph appears to have decreased in recent years, and on the basis of Milward's book, this must be regarded as a shame. Globalisation? is comparatively rare in apparently being written because of the author's intrinsic passion for the topic, rather than as a money spinner, project output or Ph.D. thesis publication. And there is no doubt that Bob Milward has written a book which is intrinsically interesting, has a clear message, and is a useful contribution in a debate often muddied with hyperbole. At ?55, the book is probably outside the price range of individual academics and students, but it deserves a wide readership from those in both groups interested in making sense of persistent economic imbalances in twenty-first century capitalism.

Churchill Meadows is a newer area, and therefore contains modern layouts in comparison to other communities in the area such as Meadowvale. The homes are a variety between detached and semi detached homes, some detached and semi-detached home were designed in a luxury style manner which are beautiful and modern. There are also low rise condos, these homes are primarily located on the main roads of the community therefore in higher traffic areas.
Similar to the neighbouring communities there is a piece of nature for those who enjoy the outdoors to frequent within the Mississauga suburb, there is the Marco Muzzo Memorial Woods and Park. The park is named after the main developer of the area after his passing. It is in close proximity to the Erin Mills Town Centre mall, which contains numerous shops to explore.
These are the schools located within the Churchill Meadows location, they are a combintation of both Catholic and Public schools.

Home Gadget DJI Mavic Pro Platinum and DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian: DJI's most popular drones are renewed
DJI Mavic Pro Platinum and DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian: DJI's most popular drones are renewed
Lambert November 29, 2017 November 29, 2017 Gadget
DJI is already a fixture at fairs like the IFA, and this year's edition was not going to be less. This time it took the opportunity to tune two of its most popular drones with a renewal, while the third has fallen a software update that improves their performance.
83 x 83 x 198 mm (folded). Diagonal: 335 mm (without propellers). Weight: 743 grams (9 grams less without the stabilizer protector).
Sensor 1 / 2.3″ CMOS of 12.35 megapixels ISO 100-1600 for photos and 100-3200 for video Approach from 0.5 meters to infinity Shutter: 8s / 1 / 8000s.
Wi-Fi 2.4 / 5 GHz. Maximum transmission distance: 80 meters, 50 meters high without obstacles.
3830 mAh, 11.4 V. Weight 240 grams. Autonomy of 30 minutes of flight.
Frequency 2.4-2.483 GHz. Maximum transmission distance: 7 km (FCC norms). Compatible with USB-C, microUSB and Lightning.
FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
Maximum speed: 65 km / h. Maximum height: 5 k above sea level. Maximum flight distance: 15 kilometers. GPS and GLONASS.
720p at 30 fps and 1080p at 30 fps on remote control. 720p at 30 fps on Wi-Fi. 720p at 60 fps and 1080p at 30 fps at DJI Goggles. Latency 160-170 ms.
Price 1299 dollars
The flight characteristics do not vary with respect to the previous Mavic Pro as it is a minor update. One of the remarkable aspects is that its remote control is smaller than what we are used to seeing, practically the size of the control of a video game console. To this table it is necessary to add that it supports gusts of wind of up to 38.5 kilometers per hour, something that depending on where we live or think about using it, it can be useful to know when evaluating whether to take the drone or not.
The recording, something quieter
On the one hand, the new Mavic Pro Platinum, an improved version that has autonomy of up to 30 minutes and new, quieter propellers. Anyone who has tried to record a video from a drone will know the problem that can be caused by the annoying noise of the propellers, since it also practically cancels any other sound. These new propellers with ESC (electronic speed control) solve the problem in part.
The owners of a Mavic Pro of the previous generation can also equip their drone with these propellers. The rest of the benefits of the previous Mavic Pro are maintained: 4K camera with stabilizer, omnidirectional sensors, obstacle detection up to 15 meters and the 7 kilometers of range that impressed us so much with its launch a year ago. Its price is 1299 dollars.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidiana
Size and weight 350 mm (diagonally, without propellers). 1,388 grams.
Camera CMOS sensor 1 inch. 20 megapixels. ISO 100-12800 for photos and 100-6400 for video. Approach from 1 meter to infinity. Shutter: 8s / 1 / 8000s.
Connectivity Wi-Fi 2.4 / 5 GHz. Maximum transmission distance: 80 meters, 50 meters high without obstacles.
Battery 5870 mAh, 15.2 V. Weight of 468 grams. Autonomy of 30 minutes.
Remote control Frequency 2.4-2.483 GHz and 5.725-5.825 GHz. Maximum transmission distance: 7 km (FCC norms).
Flight characteristics Maximum speed: 72 km / h. Maximum height: 6 km above sea level. GPS and GLONASS.
Live broadcast 720 pa 30 fps. Latency: 160-220 ms.
Beyond the specifications, something remarkable of this drone is its FlightAutonomy system, which allows you to create a 3D map of the obstacles you find around you using the infrared sensors on its sides. When we enter this mode, the maximum speed goes from 72 km / h to 50 km / h.
The professional range is now more beautiful
On the other hand, the Phantom 4 Pro Obsidiana, which raises the aesthetic level with a galvanized magnesium housing in a matt dark gray finish and a layer that prevents fingerprint marks. It is the only improvement over the original Phantom 4 Pro, whose main advantages were the ease to make it fly despite the multitude of available options, the system of recognition of obstacles in five directions, or the quality and smoothness of the video recording.
This range is aimed at somewhat more professional users who require a much greater performance when taking pictures or recording video from their drone. In fact, the DJI itself targets targets like those who need these tasks for "commercial clients or wedding photographers", without going any further. They are the ones who will benefit from the one-inch and 20-megapixel CMOS sensor, the mechanical shutter, the double encoding (H264 and H265 codecs) and the 4K resolution at 60 fps. Its price continues to mark the ceiling of DJI in this segment: 1599 dollars.
The DJI Spark is updated via software
As for the third drone that receives an update, it is the Spark, the smallest of the family, that through a software update receives a new flight mode, the Sphere. With it he is able to take panoramic pictures with spherical or tiny planet effect, to simulate that the landscape that we have in front of us -in this case, below are planets floating in space.
The DJI Spark is one of the most interesting options of its current catalog, since it is priced at just 500 dollars, has several flight modes, can be controlled even through gestures in the air and its size is ridiculously small.
DJI is possibly the manufacturer that is giving more impulse to the drone industry for both domestic and professional users, and they are largely responsible for its use being extended more and more, even among the wedding photographers mentioned or as toy for weekend adults. Another song is its involvement in military use.

Here's The Fascinating Story Of John Hanke Behind The Invention Of Pokemon Go!
Last night, my girlfriend and I rushed into a shopping mall not to buy the things. We had gone there just to catch "Pikachu" as we got the information from the "POKEMON GO" that there is a Pikachu in the shopping mall. By this time, you may be knowing about the topic I am talking. It is all about the Nintendo's new location-based augmented reality mobile game Pokémon GO. Pokemon is almost everywhere and Pokemon app is with almost everyone. Within the span of one week, all the android users became familiar with the Pokemon Go. Downloads of Huge Security loop that can get your account hacked on Pokemon GO crossed most of the famous apps like Twitter, Tinder etc. The average numbers using Facebook, WhatsApp, and Pokemon Go are almost same. The game has set a lot of craze in people and shares about this new app is at lightning speed.
John Hanke, CEO of Nintendo is the person behind the creation of this new app. His app got a huge success. But this is not the overnight success. It took around 20 hard years to create the game of our most loved cartoon network show during our childhood. Here is the journey of Pokemon Go from dream to reality.
In 1996, while still a student, he created the very first MMO (massively multiplayer online game) called 'Meridian 59'. 3DO, a gaming company bought this game from him.
In 2000, John launched 'Keyhole', a software development company specializing in geospatial data visualization applications. It link maps with aerial photography, and create the first online, GPS-linked 3D aerial map of the world.
In 2004, Google bought Keyhole and turned it into Google Earth with the help of John. At that time, John decided to focus on creating GPS based games.
From 2004 to 2010, he ran Google Earth team creating Google maps and Google street view. Meanwhile, he collected the team that would later create Pokemon Go.
In 2010, John launched Niantic Labs as a start-up funded by Google to create a game layer on maps.
Niantic labs launched its first geo-based multiplayer game called "Ingress" in 2012. But to his surprise, it became a huge hit. That gave an inspiration to launch PokemonGo.
In 2014, Google and the Pokémon Company teamed up for an April Fools' Day joke. A mini game which allowed viewers to find Pokémon creatures on Google maps to make fool was launched. This fake game went so viral. This lead John to think about turining this game into reality.
John decided to build Pokémon. He allowed players of Ingress to create Poke stops at meeting points. Then he raised $25 million from Google, Nintendo, the Pokémon Company and other investors from Dec 2015 to Feb 2016.He formed a team with 40+ people.
The Pokéstops are submitted by users, so obviously they're based on places people go. We had essentially two and a half years of people going to all the places where they thought they should be able to play Ingress, so it's some pretty remote places.
Niantic company created this new app not just for the sake of fun and entertaintment. Hanke says that they had three goals in their mind when building PokemonGo.
Exercise: A lot of fitness apps come with a lot of "baggage" that end up making you feel like "a failed Olympic athlete" when you're just trying to get fit, Hanke says. "Pokemon Go" is designed to get you up and moving by promising you Pokemon as rewards, rather than placing pressure on you.
"To see the world with new eyes:" The game is intended to "give you a little nudge" towards cool and interesting things in your neighborhood by turning real-life landmarks and historical sites into Pokestops and Gyms where players power up and battle. By encouraging exploration, "Pokemon Go" can "make your life better in some small way," Hanke says.
Success won't come in a single step. It takes long time. The story of John Hanke will become a great inspiration to many of the youngsters.

Texas Bioidentical Hormone Doctor Robert Zimmerman, M.D. has found that long-term benefits and improved health can be achieved through Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. He has implemented subcutaneous bio-equivalent hormone therapy into his practice to better treat his patients who suffer from the devastating effects of hormone deficiencies and age-related symptoms including menopause. He has discovered that bioidentical hormone pellets are the superior choice in hormone replacement therapy.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is for men and women. For men, biologically equivalent Hormone Replacement therapy achieves the sustained levels of testosterone that would be produced by normally functioning testicles. This form of therapy is the only kind that produces the natural level of hormone that men need. Because the testosterone used is totally natural, it is ideal for men wanting the benefits of a bio-equivalent hormone, without the drawbacks of a synthetic.
What is Bio-Equivalent Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a prescription alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (conjugated estrogens, medroxyprogesterone, etc.).
Bioidentical medications are plant-derived, and chemically changed in a laboratory until they are identical to what your body would naturally produce. BHRT is customizable; in other words, it can be adjusted to fit your needs, unlike conventional HRT, which has a few standard dosage strengths.
What are the goals of BHRT?
Robert O. Zimmerman, M.D. is an Internal Medicine Physician specializing in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine with 12 years in private practice. Dr. Zimmerman has offices in Richardson, Temple and Paris, Texas. He is currently accepting new patients for bioidentical hormone therapy.

FDA received 13,077 comments on the use of dairy terms in the labeling of plant-based products by yesterday's deadline. While most of the comments are from individual consumers, industry and nongovernment organizations also weighed in with diverse opinions. The dairy industry urged FDA to enforce the Standard of Identity for milk. Some are the comments expressing this view are summarized below.
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) posted comments that it submitted on January 28 on its website. In a news release about the comments, NMPF stated, "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration must enforce its existing rules against mislabeling plant-based products with dairy terms to address widespread consumer confusion over the nutritional content of dairy-product imitators." The NMPF commissioned a poll that found 49% of those questioned believe that non-dairy brands should not be allowed to use the term "milk" on their product labels because they are often less nutritious than dairy milk. Also, 61% of those polled said that they believe the FDA should restrict non-dairy beverage companies from using the term "milk," while 23% believe that FDA should not restrict non-dairy beverage companies. The poll was conducted by Ipsos on January 4-7, 2019, and involved online interviews of 1,005.
Opposing opinions were expressed by organizations representing plant-based dairy producers and many of the individual commenters. Some of these comments are summarized below.

El Paso/Ciudad Juarez as Ciudades Hermanas/Sister Cities? It's push me, pull you
Comments Off on El Paso/Ciudad Juarez as Ciudades Hermanas/Sister Cities? It's push me, pull you
Can El Paso-Juarez really be considered to be Ciudades Hermanas/Sister Cities when miles of steel fencing have been built to keep the two sisters apart? Hasn't enough been done already to keep the two sisters cities separated – one is the murder capital of the world, while the other is the safest city in the United States? Or so, it would seem. Already more than 100,000 Mexicans from Juarez have migrated to El Paso, where the living is easier, but the corruption is almost as high as it is on the Mexican side of the border. Yet, compared to Juarez, El Paso is safe.
Although some unthinking people are wondering if the designation of Juarez-El Paso as sister cities should be dropped, how can it be, when Juarez and El Paso are joined at the hip? Aren't there El Pasoans who have family members in Juarez, and don't Juarenses have family members in El Paso? Separate the twain? Why the audacity. This so-called sister city designation has been an ongoing affair for 33 years. And, yes, there was a time when El Paso proudly promoted its ties to Juarez. What else could it do, when there was nothing to attract tourists to the Sun City?
Rather than highlighting El Paso's own Mexican population, and Mexican culture, city leaders opted to ignore that reality and to promote El Paso as the Gateway to Mexico – the Gateway to Ciudad Juarez. What would happen to El Paso if Juarez falls? The picture would not be pretty. Times were when El Paso promoted Juarez as the Divorce Capital of the World, where stars like Elizabeth Taylor could obtain a "quickie" divorce, with very little hassle if she decided to get married on the same day. And, of course, she wasn't the only one. There were always willing legal personnel like judges and the like to perform those ceremonies – for a hefty price, I'm sure.
Time was when the La Fiesta Restaurant could attract top-name singes like Nat King Cole, when El Paso moaned and complained because tourists often by-passed El Paso on their way to Juarez to make that city their stomping grounds and take in the many sights and activities that city presented. But, that was then, this is now. Juarez has become the murder capital of the world, while El Paso has become the "safest city" in the U.S. That's quite a paradox. Two Ciudades Hermanas pulling and tugging against each other, yet, longing for the days when the sister cities designation meant something.
Would eliminating the sister cities symbolism help El Paso appeal to new businesses, to attract conventions and conferences? Not really, some postulate. After all, what does El Paso have to offer? There are no major attractions, it hasn't promoted itself effectively as an All-American City, nor has it sung its own praises as the safest city in America, nor has it promoted itself as a convention city for other than bowling tournaments. While that's good, and the Men's Bowling Tournament, it is predicted, should bring about $75 million to the city, yet, is that all? Besides, that won't happen until 2015 – four long years from now. Seattle, Washington recently garnered $60 million for holding the Lion's Club Convention. Has El Paso done the same? El Paso is an international city, and the Lion's Clubs are international, so, where's the interest?
What El Paso is doing is asking everybody what it can do to crawl out of its doldrums, not trusting its own leaders, or its own people, to tell it what to do, after all, what do the local yokels know? Not much, I'll gather. El Paso crawls along, at a snail's pace, putting together a piece-meal strategy in attracting big-money events to the city. What would happen to El Paso, some wonder, if it drops Juarez as its sister city, and, miracle of miracles, Juarez suddenly ends its reputation for violence and pulls itself up from the ashes, like the Phoenix, from the violence that has engulfed the city. Would El Paso try to get back in the good graces of Juarez – a city it wants to abandon? A city official was quoted in a recent story that El Paso plans to "enhance El Paso's image," and to develop a "brand" for the city.
What is amazing is that El Paso has always had a unique brand, an image that of a city replete with Mexicans and the Mexican culture, only city leaders in the past refused to promote El Paso in that light. They opted to highlight the city as the Gateway to Mexico, totally ignoring the Mexican people, the Mexican culture, the Spanish language, and other realities that make El Paso unique. Instead, the city was promoted as a low-wage town, with a low-wage mentality. So, what would happen if, suddenly, Juarez pulls itself out of the doldrums and, itself, chooses to not accept El Paso as a sister city? The problem that has remained for city leaders is that the Mexican and Mexican American population in El Paso isn't going anywhere. It remains steadfast, it's here to stay, despite efforts to denigrate their presence. It's sad, but true, that the city pays others to come tell us how the city should behave. Remove Juarez as El Paso's sister city? What would that gain? Go figure!

Abstract— Content mining has turned into an energizing examination field as it tries to find profitable data from unstructured writings. The unstructured writings which contain huge measure of data can't just be utilized for additionally preparing by PCs. Thusly, correct preparing strategies, calculations and methods are fundamental keeping in mind the end goal to separate this profitable data which is finished by utilizing content mining. In this paper, we have talked about general thought of content mining and correlation of its procedures. What's more, we quickly talk about various content mining applications which are utilized directly and in future.
Index Terms Retrieval, Extraction, Categorization, Clustering, Summa- rization.
Gather data from unstructured information. Change over this data got into organized information Identify the example from organized information Analyze the example Extract the profitable data and store in the database.
The most well known information retrieval (IR) systems are Google search engines which recognize those documents on the World Wide Web that are associated to a set of given words. It is measured as an extension to document retrieval where the documents that are returned are processed to extract the useful information crucial for the user 3. Thus document retrieval is followed by a text summarization stage that focuses on the query posed by the user, or an information extraction stage. IR in the broader sense deals with the whole range of information processing, from information retrieval to knowledge retrieval 8. It is a relatively old research area where first attempts for automatic indexing where made in 1975. It gained increased attention with the grow of the World Wide Web and the need for classy search engines.
The objective of data extraction (IE) techniques is the extraction of helpful data from content. It recognizes the extraction of elements, occasions and connections from semi-organized or unstructured content. Most valuable data, for example, name of the individual, area and association are extricated without legitimate comprehension of the content 4. IE is worried about extraction of semantic data from the text.IE can be portrayed as the development of an organized picture of chose important piece data drawn from writings.
Grouping is a standout amongst the most fascinating and vital subjects in content mining. Its point is to discover inborn structures in data, and organize them into noteworthy subgroups for additionally study and examination. It is an unsupervised procedure through which objects are ordered into bunches called groups. The issue is to gather the given unlabeled accumulation into significant bunches with no earlier data. Any names related with objects are acquired exclusively from the information. For instance, archive grouping aids recovery by making joins between related records, which thus enables related reports to be recovered once one of the archives has been regarded pertinent to a question 8. Grouping is helpful in numerous application regions, for example, science, information mining, design acknowledgment, record recovery, picture division, design order, security, business insight and Web seek. Bunch examination can be utilized as an independent content mining device to accomplish information conveyance, or as a pre-preparing venture for other content mining calculations working on the identified groups.
The utilization of content mining device in security field has turned into a critical issue. A considerable measure of content mining programming bundles is showcased for security applications, especially observing and examination of online plain content sources, for example, Internet news, sites, mail and so on for security purposes 7. It is additionally associated with the investigation of content encryption/unscrambling. Government offices are putting significant assets in the reconnaissance of a wide range of correspondence, for example, email, online talks. Email is utilized as a part of numerous true blue exercises, for example, messages and reports trade.
Content mining for the most part alludes to the way toward separating profitable data from unstructured content. In this overview of content mining, a few content mining strategies and its applications in different fields have been talked about. A correlation of vary ent content mining has been indicated which can be additionally upgraded. Content mining calculations will give us valuable and organized information which can decreases time and cost. Shrouded data in interpersonal organization locales, bioinformatics and web security and so on are distinguished utilizing content mining is a noteworthy test in these fields. The progression of web innovations has lead toa colossal enthusiasm for the order of content records containing joins or other data.

Michigan Attorney General Won't Enforce Governor's Coronavirus Restrictions after Court Rules Them Unconstitutional
By Brittany Bernstein

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Sunday she would no longer use criminal prosecution to enforce the governor's coronavirus lockdown restrictions after the state Supreme Court found the orders were unconstitutional.
Other law enforcement agencies or state departments will have independent enforcement authority over coronavirus safety measures, the attorney general's office said.
Nessel's announcement came on Sunday, two days after the state Supreme Court ruled in a split decision that governor Gretchen Whitmer's orders were unconstitutional.
"In light of the Supreme Court's decision on Friday, the Attorney General will no longer enforce the Governor's Executive Orders through criminal prosecution," Nessel's press secretary said in a statement posted to Twitter. "However, her decision is not binding on other law enforcement agencies or state departments with independent enforcement authority."
Nessel's "fervent hope" is that "people continue to abide by the measures that Governor Whitmer put in place – like wearing face masks, adhering to social distancing requirements and staying home when sick – since they've proven effective at saving lives," the statement added.
The court found on Friday that Whitmer's extension of emergency declarations used to mandate lockdown restrictions which shut down non-essential businesses in the state were unconstitutional, as she did not have authority to issue coronavirus orders past April 30.
The court found she had illegally drawn authority for months from a 1945 law that doesn't apply.
Whitmer expressed disappointment in the ruling in a statement on Friday: "Today's Supreme Court ruling, handed down by a narrow majority of Republican justices, is deeply disappointing, and I vehemently disagree with the court's interpretation of the Michigan Constitution."
"Right now, every state and the federal government have some form of declared emergency. With this decision, Michigan will become the sole outlier at a time when the Upper Peninsula is experiencing rates of COVID infection not seen in our state since April."
Whitmer noted that the ruling does not take effect for "at least 21 days" and said that her emergency declaration and orders "retain the force of the law." The Democrat said that past that time frame "alternative sources of authority" will enforce her rulings.
The governor's press secretary issued a statement on Sunday saying Whitmer was prepared to work with Republicans in the Legislature to find common ground, the Detroit Free Press reported, but added that "she won't let partisan politics get in the way of doing what's necessary to keep people safe and save lives."
"The Supreme Court's ruling raises several legal questions that we are still reviewing. While we are moving swiftly, this transition will take time," the statement said.
It continued: "As the governor said last week, many of the responsive measures she has put in place to control the spread of the virus will continue under alternative sources of authority that were not at issue in the court's ruling. We will have more to say on this in the coming days."
As of Saturday, the state has seen 127,516 confirmed cases of the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic and 6,801 deaths, according to state data. New cases and deaths have largely remained flat in the state.

Wisdom Teeth or 3rd Molars served a purpose for early man but like our appendix, they no longer serve a purpose. Our distant ancestors had larger mouths and more teeth were required to chew and grind coarser, tougher foods. As humans have evolved, our diets have changed and our mouths have become smaller. While most of us have "3rd molars" or wisdom teeth, we often don't have room in our mouths to accommodate them.
Left un-extracted, these teeth frequently become problematic. Swelling, infection, bone loss and gum disease can be a consequence of un-extracted wisdom teeth. In rare cases, cysts can develop around un-extracted wisdom teeth. Perhaps most concerning, un-extracted wisdom teeth can result in Facial Cellulitis and inflammation of lymph nodes. Finally, as wisdom teeth erupt, it is not unusual for orthodontically corrected teeth to be pushed out of alignment and become crooked again.
The word "impacted" means jammed, wedged or stuck. Often times, the tooth has no place to go and can become wedged against the neighboring tooth or its roots. The extraction of impacted wisdom teeth can save patients from uncomfortable side effects like swelling and infection. Facial Surgery Group's skilled surgeons are the natural choice for impacted wisdom tooth extraction in Kansas City.
There are various reasons for the extraction of other teeth. These include decay, infection, periodontal disease, and pain. Sometimes teeth need to be pulled to create more space for orthodontic procedures. In any case, Facial Surgery Group has the experience, skill, and knowledge to expertly and safely remove teeth.

"Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds… true love?" – Dracula
While I was never a massive fan of this Dracula adaptation, which I will get into, I've still always enjoyed it. It's generally well acted and it looks incredible. I also have to say that it's stood the test of time, as it doesn't feel as dated as I thought it would and because many people still talk about it and refer to it as one of their favorite vampire films of all-time.
I think that Francis Ford Coppola did a good job in giving the famous novel some new life and helped to inject vampire movies back into the mainstream consciousness. However, it does fall short of the great 1994 Interview With A Vampire adaptation, as well as some of the other Dracula movies of the past.
This tossed away certain tropes, as Dracula no longer takes on the visual style of Bela Lugosi's Dracula and instead, was reworked with inspiration taken from Catholicism. The hair is different, the costume is different and its sort of refreshing, allowing this movie to actually break the mold and exist as its own thing, as opposed to just another rehash of what Dracula movies had been for sixty years.
The film also uses characters from the book, who were mostly ignored in the countless other adaptations. In a lot of ways, this is very accurate to Stoker's original work. However, it also has some major differences, which makes it more of Coppola's Dracula than Stoker's Dracula.
The biggest of these changes is Dracula's origin, which now connects him to Vlad the Impaler, a historical ruler of Romania, who fought off and conquered the Turks. Additionally, we see how he becomes a vampire, where the original novel didn't really answer that question.
Beyond that, this is much more about romance, as Mina has an attraction to Dracula and he allows her to choose him. In the novel, Dracula didn't care about love and his goal was to move to England and drain it of blood. That being said, I do like this modification that Coppola made and it gives the story more nuance, context and purpose. Plus, these moments between Dracula and Mina were beautifully shot and well acted.
My biggest gripe with the film, which sucks to admit, was that Keanu Reeves was out of his depth. I know that it is popular to criticize his performance in this film but those criticisms aren't wrong. His British accent is somehow off, feeling forced and unnatural. Also, every time he shares the screen with Gary Oldman, he is outshined by a very wide margin. I guess Christian Slater was originally cast as Jonathan Harker and man, what a different and probably much better movie this could have been, especially when considering Slater and Winona Ryder's chemistry in Heathers.
A strong positive for me, is that Coppola insisted on using old school effects techniques, as opposed to relying on newly developing CGI technology. The effects shots are really neat and give them film a sort of authenticity that CGI just can't replicate, even now, nearly thirty years later.
The practical monster effects, the costumes, the hair, the makeup, all of that stuff is phenomenal and it has all held up so well.
I also like that this wasn't filmed on location and that Coppola did just about everything indoors on massive soundstages. It gives the film a great, classically cinematic look and it reminds me of Hammer's vampire films, as well as the old Universal Monsters pictures.
Lastly, the score is fucking perfection. Wojciech Kilar created one of the most iconic horror scores of all-time. The main theme of the film is even better, as it has become just as iconic as this film, if not, more so. I wish Kilar did more American movies over the course of his career but between this and his score from The Ninth Gate, he's one of my favorite composers that I discovered in the '90s.
Bram Stoker's Dracula is a better film than I remembered it being. I still can't say that it's on my Mount Rushmore of Dracula adaptations but it's one of the most unique and coolest versions of the story.
Pairs well with: Interview With A Vampire, as well as other vampire films from the late '80s through mid-'90s.
Film Review: The Rocketeer (1991)

Also known as: The Adventures of the Rocketeer (Australia)
Release Date: June 19th, 1991 (Hollywood premiere)
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Written by: Danny Bilson, Paul De Meo, William Dear
Based on: The Rocketeer by Dave Stevens
Music by: James Horner
Cast: Billy Campbell, Alan Arkin, Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton, Paul Sorvino, Terry O'Quinn, Ed Lauter, James Handy, Jon Polito, William Sanderson, Margo Martindale, Clint Howard, Melora Hardin, Tiny Ron Taylor

"That son of a bitch will fly!" – Howard Hughes
It's been close to three decades since I've seen The Rocketeer, as I saw it in the theater in 1991 and once on VHS just after that. I hadn't seen it since but I have always had pretty fond memories of the film. Now that it's on Disney+, I figured I'd revisit it.
The film is actually much better than I remembered and I'm surprised that it didn't leave a big enough mark on me to inspire me to buy it over the last 29 or so years. But I feel like the things I appreciate about it now are mainly due to my age and the lack of imaginative filmmaking that closed out the 2010s.
It feels very much like a 1990ish live action Disney movie but it reminds me a lot of Dick Tracy because of the period it takes place in, as well as the Indiana Jones films due to the involvement of Nazis, as well as being full of adventure, action and very '30s-'40s pulpy elements.
The film is actually based off of a comic book character and that character was created as an homage to the rocket-backpack heroes of the old serials like Commando Cody.
The Rocketeer greatly benefits from having a large, great cast. Many of these people I didn't even realize were in this, as I saw this in a time where I probably wouldn't have recognized many of them. The bulk of the acting duties, however, fall on Bill Campbell, Alan Arkin, Jennifer Connelly and Timothy Dalton. All four are pretty good in this and Connelly, who's never not been beautiful, looks like an old school Hollywood starlet from the silver screen era.
I loved Dalton in this, as the villain who is one-part Nazi stooge and one-part Basil Rathbone. His role as the actor within the film was really neat and a cool idea for a bad guy. He's slimy and vile but you also kind of feel for him, as he's being forced into evil by the Nazis. But don't get me wrong, he's still a total bastard and a great one at that.
The special effects, for the most part, hold up well. The only shots that looked odd were kind of unavoidable, as this was made in a time where you could hide things on celluloid film. This wasn't made for the digital HD era, so there are a few bits that look wonky in a way that they probably didn't in 1991.
From memory, this film was kind of a dud, financially. It should have been the start of a franchise for Disney but it didn't connect with a large enough audience and we only ever got this one film. When I was a kid, I was really looking forward to more of these, as well as more Dick Tracy. Part of me kind of hoped that they could've crossed over but none of my dreams for these films materialized.
If you're going to cancel Disney+ because The Mandalorian is over, you might want to give this a watch first.
Pairs well with: other early '90s family action movies, most notably Dick Tracy.

The Killing is interesting as it started on AMC, got cancelled twice and renewed twice. The second renewal did not come from AMC however, it came from Netflix, who picked up the show for its final season.
As interesting as the story of the show's turbulent history is, the show itself falls flat.
I really wanted to like The Killing. I gave it a real shot, as I stuck around for the duration, even though I wanted to shut it off after just a few episodes.
I thought it may improve or that it was building towards something fantastic. Well, it never really quite got there and the build up was so slow and dragged out that I often times found myself either daydreaming or huffing markers to pass the time. It is rare that I am this bored watching a show but I'd rather watch gnats procreate than see another episode of The Killing.
The acting isn't good or bad, it is just there. It is about as exciting as the show itself and I felt like the actors were asleep half the time, bored off of their asses because it took two full seasons to solve one crime when Jeff Goldblum on one of those Law & Order shows solves a different crime each week. Maybe these cops are just shitty at being detectives and they should've consulted with Jeff Goldblum.
There's nothing really more to say because frankly, I am even bored talking about the show.
But hey, great cinematography and and technical prowess from a visual standpoint, if I have to throw in something positive.

Anytime you log into an account on a website you're providing proof that you are who you say you are by passing an authentication test. Most websites rely on only one method to confirm a user's identity via a username or email address and password. Websites with a need for stronger security such as banking sites, and now the Nextpoint web applications, require you pass a more rigorous confirmation process.
Two Factor Authentication increases security by using two identification classes to determine that you are who you say you are. The first identification test we use is something you know: your password. We haven't changed anything about our initial login process, you'll still need to enter your email or user name and password.
If you pass the first authentication test and we recognize the device you're connecting with, your login is complete. However, if you pass the first test and you haven't authorized your computer you'll be directed to a device verification page.
Here you'll have to complete our second step in the authentication process. You'll need to use something you have: access to your email account. When we don't recognize your device, you are automatically sent an email containing a time sensitive PIN which you'll use to complete authentication and authorize your device.
The PIN in the email expires shortly after it's been sent, so make sure you use it in a timely fashion. If you don't enter the PIN within the time constraints, you can always request a new one from the device verification page. An added benefit of the automated new device email is that you'll know right away if your account has been compromised.
If you're an existing user, we're providing a quick and easy way to postpone activating this new feature, just click on the 'postpone until later' link on the device activation screen and ignore the Device Activation email in your inbox. You'll push back activating two factor authentication, and will continue logging in just like you're used to. You'll be presented with the New Device Verification page again in two weeks. Once you activate one device, two factor authentication will automatically be enabled for your account. Users created after May 26, 2011 will not be able to defer this feature.
We're also providing you with a history of your most recent logins, where you'll be able to see data about your login and which devices you've logged in with.
Why are we doing this? We want to make sure that your data is secure even if someone steals your password. Two factor authorization is an extra step for you to log in, but it's a much bigger obstacle for someone to maliciously access your data.
Twitter recently announced they will be changing the default permissions third-party applications — like CloudPreservation — receive when a user authenticates them. Starting on June 14th, applications will have to explicitly request access to a user's Direct Messages, a permission that had been granted automatically up to this point.
In the end, this is a good thing in that it gives users better insight and control into exactly what a third-party application will be able to see and do with their account, and giving users control over their data through transparency is never a bad thing. It does, however, mean that everyone who has already granted CloudPreservation permission to preserve their Twitter feeds will have to reauthorize us so that we can continue to track and store their Direct Messages.
No problem. Within the next few days, if you're one of our current CloudPreservation customers with an active Twitter account, you'll receive an email from us asking you to click a link to reauthorize CloudPreservation. You'll actually be performing the same process as when you authorized us the first time. Just click the link in the email, log in to Twitter, choose "Authorize App," and voila — we'll be able to preserve your Direct Messages for well into the future.
For more information on Twitter's changes, see their blog post and discussion list announcement.
It's a little known fact that you can restrict what country a Facebook user is from or how old they must be in order to view your Facebook Fan pages.
If you've got a Facebook page restricted to a specific age group, or restricted to United States users only, Cloudpreservation will dutifully archive your Facebook Page without problem.

The volume of data involved in the e-discovery process is imposing. Removing exact duplicates prior to review is the most powerful and sensible way to eliminate obviously redundant data. This reduces not only the overall data volume, but also ensures data only needs to be reviewed once.
In the latest enhancement to the Nextpoint product lineup, including Cloud Preservation, Discovery Cloud, and Trial Cloud, automatic "deduplication" is built in — allowing users to eliminate duplicative data simply and easily via a user friendly interface. This is a huge efficiency improvement, reducing the time and cost of e-discovery and we are excited to bring this innovation to our customers.
The 2 phased Deduplication process.
As an initial step, uploaded files (zip, pst, loose file, etc) are compared to all previous uploads. If the upload is an exact duplicate of a previous upload, the application will request confirmation you would like the duplicative files to be loaded. Frequently, this step alone can prevent large numbers of duplicate documents.
2. Preventing duplicate documents/files, contained in different archives.
Often times the same file (an email, document, etc) has been collected from multiple sources. When this occurs, the upload will slip by Phase 1 because the container (zip/pst/etc) was physically different than anything previously uploaded. This is by far the most common cause of duplicate documents.
Individual checks occur on files contained inside of the high-level container to search for an exact match*. When an exact match is caught, introduction of the duplicative data is prevented, instead linking to the pre-existing copy of the document. The pre-existing document will now indicate that it was loaded both in Batch 1 and Batch 2. Additionally fields such as location URI and custodian will be merged.
* Metadata from a load file and/or changes made via the web application after the previous load completed (designating, reviewing, changing shortcuts, etc) will be taken into consideration when making the "exact match" determination. By default, a file hash is employed to identify candidates for "exact matches" – optionally, this can be expanded to include documents that may have a different file hash but share an Email-Message-ID.
Understanding what has been deduplicated.
The batch details screen (choose "Import/Export" from the menu bar in Discovery Cloud or "More" -> "Imports" in Trial Cloud) has been enhanced to provide information on how much and what has been deduplicated.
The main section provides verbose lists of Actions, Errors, and Skipped Rows that occurred during processing. It also provides abbreviated lists of new and duplicate documents encountered during processing, with links to quickly view the full set(s) via our normal search/filter interface.
The Batch Summary section (located in the sidebar) has been enhanced to provide information about the uploaded file, the results and status of processing, links to resulting documents, and the ability to reprocess the originally uploaded file completely.
Handling the duplicates that make it through.
The "same file" can make it into the system through a few different channels.
A user deliberately disabled deduplication during an upload or selected the "reprocess file" option on an entire batch.
The same document was attached to multiple emails. The meaning of a document can vary wildly based on it's context, thus we consider an email and it's attachment(s) as a single unit during the deduplication process.
The "same file" by content hash will be allowed into the system if the associated meta is different. This could happen due to differences specified in load files, changes made to meta in the system following uploads, etc.
In all of these situations, we display related files in the sidebar (of Discovery Cloud) to allow the human reviewer to determine whether associated meta does or does not warrant further deduplication.
Deduplication can be disabled on any individual upload/reprocessing request. It can be disabled at the instance level via "Settings" => "General Settings" => "Deduplication". The settings section also provides the ability to use Email-Message-ID in the "exact match" determination.
This functionality is available immediately in both Discovery and Trial Clouds.
As always, custom support options are available on request to address unique deduplication needs. We're excited for these new improvement and the positive impact they'll have for our customers going forward.

Managing your Accounts Receivables effectively.
It is not that your customer doesn't want to pay. It so happens they do not understand your urgency to get paid on time. It is ironic they are at the receiving end from their customers as well.
With subscription model, this problem should have been solved much easier with prepaid billing at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately that is not the case, especially in India due to inability to do recurring billing with credit cards.
ECS is definitely an alternate option, but it requires persistence to work through the challenges of making your customers sign-up for payment. We'll discuss the challenges with ECS and options in another post.
Nothing funds your business better than money from your customer.
Once you start making money from customers, whether it is in the order of hundreds, thousands or hopefully lot more, you need to keep a close watch of your cash flow like a bull dog.
Standard payment terms with most businesses is Net 30 – meaning you should get paid 30 days from the day your service or good is delivered.
Collection cycle – 45 days is really really bad for your business, especially in a subscription model where it is preferred to get paid before delivering the service.
A simple tracking spreadsheet to note down payments received, payments that are due, failed transactions that require* follow-ups *and all the details readily available to follow-up with customers will go a long way in helping you stay in control of cash flow.
A friendly reminder around the 30th day and couple of courteous but firm phone calls to customers should help you get paid.
So, what are the options to ensure you get paid on time?
Offer (steeper) discounts to get prepaid or paid earlier. Some companies offer 2 to 5% discount to get paid by the 10th day – "2% 10, Net 30″. Take advantage of such options.
Limit the credit to a customer to specific value or set triggers to follow-up rigorously.
Do not let a particular customer's credit accumulate beyond couple of months.
You might as well offer a one month discount, write-off the amount as an act of good will, rather than getting into a nasty argument about getting paid and losing the customer completely.
Ideally you should have a dashboard that spells it out clearly for you. This should clearly tell you, how much sales outstanding is there classified by ageing number of days. Any sales outstanding over 45, you should stay on top of it to ensure you get paid.
As a business owner you should be reviewing the data weekly, if not daily.
Have automated follow-up mechanisms to send timely reminders to ensure you do not have to track and remind them manually. Having to manually track and follow-up makes scaling your business all the more difficult. Shameless plug: We are baking in the essential features in ChargeBee app, to manage your accounts receivables better. If there is something you are looking for we should discuss.
I am sure each one of you who has run a business, has a story to tell. Share your stories, tips or tricks and which apps / tools you use to keep a tab on your sales outstanding.


It's a very prolific period. Luis Marino sought with this series that the creative process was printed in the texture of the material and that it allowed guessing the pictorial gesture in the creation.
In connection with this period, the 'Platform pro-defence of the Phoenician Ships of Mazarrón' was created, with the aim of helping to protect, spread and control this extraordinary archaeological legacy, demanding the creation of a monographic museum in Mazarrón, where the discovery can be placed as close to the place of the discovery as possible, but always depending on the ARQUA National Museum of Underwater Archaeology, in order to guarantee its best preservation.
